01x21 - Episode 21

[bunniefuu]

Please, come in, Mrs. Sahar.

Mr. Amir, honestly, I really wanted
to be introduced to you.

I've heard a lot about you,
and I am fan of your work.

Amir Khattar.

Sahar.

Miss.

EPISODE 21

You always look at me like that.

What do you mean?

It's as if you're seeing me
for the first time.

It is indeed the first time
I'm seeing you.

Every time is the first time.

I will look at you like that
for the rest of my life.

And I will love you
for the rest of my life,

until we become old together
and we stop seeing each other,

and we wear glasses.

I love you.

And I adore you.

You are my entire life.

I hope we spend our entire lives together.

-Let's eat.
-Yes, let's.

Yes.

Mr. Hadi, the man entered
the same piano bar that you used to visit.

Okay, bye now.

Is there something wrong?

No, nothing.

I'm going to the ladies' room
for a minute.

-I'll be back.
-Take your time.

-Where is he, is he still here?
-He went in for a minute and then he left.

Okay, keep watching him.

-Hello.
-So, my friend...

don't you want your passport?

What a great achievement,
Sahar, taking my passport,

as if I can't issue another one, right?
Get the hell out of my life, leave me be.

You can go ahead, the door
is to the left, right in front of you.

Sorry, ma'am, you're here,
I was with Mrs. Najah.

-I found the lights...
-Welcome, Mona.

Close the door and let's have a chat.

I have been in this house for a long time,

but I've never had the chance
to sit and talk to you.

Sit and talk to me, ma'am?

-Why not, can't we be friends?
-You and I, friends?

Of course, Mona, sit down.

I am no different to you.

I have money, but that doesn't mean
I am better than you.

I was poor. Just like you, I had nothing.

But my intelligence and cleverness
made me reach a very high level.

And you too,
if you want, you can get there.

Pity me, where would I get to,
at such an age?

With me, you could reach many places.

Very high places.

One condition.

I must be sure that you are on my side,
and that I can trust you.

I am with you, ma'am, whatever you want.

I have no use of you right now...

but when I want something
I will let you know.

You can go now.

Is there anything else, ma'am?

Nothing for now.

Excuse me.

What's with you? Why are you
still standing outside, come in.

Come on.

Finally, we are away from everybody,
nobody knows our address.

Tell me, do you like the house?

Did you change the house
so that no one would bother us?

Or because you don't want me
to bother anybody?

-Farah, I am...
-Fifi.

You can call me Fifi,
it's what you called me in front of her,

and you shouted at me.

Why didn't you let me go with Bassima?

What do you want from me?
Why did you bring me with you?

I chose a remote house to try a new kind
of life with you, and to forget Reem.

-And this is how you would forget her?
-I don't know, I really don't.

Maybe, maybe not. Anything could happen.

I don't know,
if you want to take the risk, go ahead.

If you want, you can stay,
but you can also leave,

I can't promise you anything.

I can't force you to do something
you don't want to.

You decide.

So, Hanane.

So, Abboudy.

How lovely it is
to be called Abboudy by you.

I can't believe
that we are under the same roof,

sharing the same bed.

I feel like it's a dream.

Let me know that it is not a dream.

Kiss me, Hanane.

That's nice, but kiss me, Hanane.

Darling...

kiss me.

The mattress inside is not comfortable,
let me try this one!

-Make a place for me.
-Get in.

-Excellent, this mattress is harder.
-Yes, it's also harder on me.

I've been waiting
for this night for 40 years.

Mom, please let me go to school,
please don't do this to me.

You think that you can change
my mind if you're wearing these clothes?

-Go and change them.
-Mom, please.

I can easily outsmart you.

Mom, please, I beg you,
let me go to school.

What's the school for,
since you're marrying Jaber?

Mom, please, I am at your feet,
please don't make me marry Jaber, please...

Stand up now.

I'm doing all this so that you don't
bow down in humiliation to anybody.

Jaber will make you live like a queen.

-Every girl would dream of marrying him.
-But not me, Mom.

I don't want him, please.

And who is it that you desire,
that nitwit Rasheed,

with his curly hair and no money?

-I beg you, I beg you, please.
-Go to your room right now.

-Mom, please let me go to school.
-Go inside.

Mom, please open the door, Mom, please.

Mom, please, don't make me marry Jaber!
Mom, open the door.

I'm afraid the girl will
do something to spoil the wedding.

She doesn't have time.

We need an excuse to leave work
and go to the wedding.

You're right, we should take two days off.

That way,
Sahar won't notice and screw things up.

Good morning, Amine and Sariah.

-How is it good, stop right there.
-Calm down, Sariah.

-What are you looking at?
-Take it easy.

What are you looking at,
where are you running to?

Come, you coward.

-Sariah, he's just a boy, don't hurt him.
-Sariah, calm down.

Leave him, don't hurt him.

How many times have
I told you not to look at our balcony?

-Sariah, stop it, stop doing this.
-I will pluck your eyes out.

-Go now.
-Shame on you, he's just a boy.

Out of my way, he has no manners.
Let's go, Amine.

-You're an animal, you have no manners.
-I know you are.

Get lost,
you're the only one shouting round here.

What are you doing, Sariah?

You caused a scandal
in the neighborhood, what's wrong?

I can't stand him, Amine, I can't.

We have to take the girl
to my sister's place in the mountains.

-Okay, we'll do that.
-She shouldn't stay here.

Wait for me.

It's in our interest to be his partners,
yes, but what does he gain from that?

The man is loaded
with cash and he can compete against us

in the market so easily,
why would he be our partner?

There's nothing to it, Basil.

He must have studied things,
his land is bordering ours.

So he can combine his fortune
and experience with ours,

and instead of being competition,
he becomes a partner, where's the problem?

And out of all the properties in the area,
he had to buy our bordering land

in particular?

I don't know, he is a businessman
and only thinks about money.

I'm concerned
that he'll damage our name in the market,

without our knowing.

We'll wait and see.

It's him.

Welcome, Mr. Amir.

How are you?

The land is now in my name,

so we only have to meet
and discuss the details.

Good, great.

I talked with Basil about it,
I mean, we discussed a few things.

How about we meet tonight over dinner
and we discuss this further?

Of course,

but I'd like you to bring your wife
with you, and Basil's wife as well,

because...

...and I don't want to leave her alone.

Actually, I wanted to suggest this to you.

The girls can sit together
and get to know each other

while we're discussing business,
how about that?

Okay, deal, so we'll meet tonight.

Perfect, I'll choose the place
and send you the location.

We'll have dinner together tonight,
go and tell Sahar to get herself ready.

I don't think Sahar is in the mood
to go out.

-She can't.
-Of course she is in the mood, why not?

-Go and talk her into it, come on.
-And if I can't convince her?

It's better for her, for us,
for Reem and everybody.

Come on, hey, move it, come on.

Issam, check if Amir's wife
is coming on a plane from Egypt.

Sahar.

Sahar.

Your phone is ringing.

Aren't you going to answer?

Of course, why not?

-Hello.
-It's Mahmoud.

Welcome, Mahmoud.

I took your number from Hanane,

at first, she didn't want
to give it to me, but I insisted.

Maybe it's not the right time to call you?

No, don't worry.

It's just a misunderstanding,
it's all right.

My husband understands, I explained
the situation to him and he understands.

Your husband or your fiancé?

Great, Mahmoud, it's a very good news,
he is a good lawyer, I know him myself.

Of course, he will find you a way out.

Say hello to your mom, kiss her,

and tell her
I might pass by today if I can.

You're strange, Basil.

You apologized to me yesterday,
and today you look at my phone.

I wasn't looking at your phone,
I said your phone is ringing, that's it.

Anyway, you are my wife,
can't I look into your phone?

I removed the password, you can answer,
and you can search it as much as you want.

I am sorry, darling, I didn't mean
to bother you, I am really sorry.

Listen...

we have a business dinner tonight.

A businessman is coming with his wife,
Hadi and Reem are going.

Can you be with me at the dinner?
We'd have a good time, it'll be fun.

Of course, darling, why not?
Let's go to the dinner.

It will be fun and we'll have a good time.

Mahmoud, stop calling me,

meet me in an hour
at the same place we met yesterday.

These are very nice clothes.

-All of these are for me?
-All of them.

-All of them?
-All of them.

Unless you give Aunt Hanane
a hard time, do you hear me?

No, I didn't, you can ask her.
Was I naughty?

Not at all, and she didn't nag,
not even once.

God bless you
and bless your beautiful eyes!

God bless your heart.

-My darling.
-Wow, it's beautiful,

can I put it on right now?

You can do whatever you want,
take this pantofle as well.

-Why don't you call them slippers?
-Okay, slippers.

No, we don't try them here
in front of everybody,

go inside and put them on.
then come and show us.

As you wish.

Good girl.

-How can I carry them all?
-Go and try these first, go.

-All right.
-Go on, now.

She is unbelievable, so funny,

she reminded me
of Sahar when she was little,

she was naughty, just like her.

But you, darling,
you were calm and tender,

I considered myself your mother.

Even when you ran away
from the orphanage with Sahar,

and they fired me, I wasn't upset,

because I knew that you have
what it takes to protect yourself.

I hoped you'd become a mom
and your life would change,

and you'd bring a beautiful girl,
just like you, into this world.

I pray.

What's wrong, Reem?

What's the matter?

I...

I had a girl, and she died 16 years ago.

What?

Look at me, look, do they look nice?

Why aren't you answering,
do they look nice?

Very nice.

Come to me.

Come.

You're not going to give Hanane
a hard time, right?

Who braided your hair? It's very nice.

Hanane did, but please,
tell her not to make me shower today.

Did you hear this?

All right, tomorrow.

Give me a hug.

I apologize...

for causing you
a problem with your husband.

Don't apologize, Mahmoud.

You never caused me any problems.

You have never been a problem,
and you never will be.

Unbelievable.
You're always the same, Mahmoud.

You're still looking at me
the same way you used to look at me

when we were little.

Because I'm still in love with you.

I didn't forget you,
not even for a moment.

-Not for a moment.
-And I love you too.

I love you so much...

but like a brother, and you know that.

When you were poor,
I didn't have any hope.

Now that you're rich and married...

would I have a chance with you?

Mahmoud, you need money...

and I need someone to trust.

I have no one else I can trust
in this world,

except for you.

Can I trust you?

-Try me.
-I don't have time.

Can I trust you?

I am with you...

till death.

Omar, open the door, I know you're here.

Hey, as*h*le! Open the door.

How did you know that I'm here?

Did you think that turning your phone off
and moving house

would prevent me
from knowing your whereabouts?

I'll know wherever you are
as long as you're breathing.

What do you want, Sahar?

This stuff is messed up,
just like your head.

How many times have I told you
not to bring the cheap stuff?

That's why you're going mad
and messing things up.

Since you can issue another passport...

I don't need it anymore anyway,

I have something much
more important than that.

By the way, how is Farah?

I mean Fifi.

I tell you what, I know how she is,
she is very good and she says hello.

What do you mean?

Where is she, what did you do to her?

I didn't do anything to her.

And my guys didn't have
to do anything to her in the first place,

because the first time I threatened her,
she told us everything.

Where is she?

When you go back to working for Hadi
and to being part of the plan,

I'll tell you where she is.

I'll k*ll you. I swear, I will k*ll you.

as*h*le, if you k*ll me,
you won't know where she is.

-Mahmoud, would you like to have coffee?
-I don't want anything.

-All right, have a cigarette then.
-I don't smoke.

Wait, give me a cigarette.

Do you smoke, beautiful?

Welcome, ma'am.

What did you do to the girl, animals!
Untie her.

-But, ma'am...
-I said untie her.

I'm sorry, they are animals.
What can I do?

What do you want from me?

Nothing, not from you,
I want something from Omar.

Do you love him?

It's obvious that you do.

Now let's see if he loves you back.

Bring her water. Mahmoud.

-Yes.
-Come.

Can I still trust you like before?

Mahmoud, if you are scared,
you can leave now

and forget everything we said.

If you're with me,
you're with me till death.

What are you going to do with the girl?

Don't worry, I don't k*ll people.

I kidnap, I threaten,
I scare people, I steal and scam.

But I don't k*ll.

What do you say, Mahmoud?

Till death?

I am with you...

till death.

His phone is off.

Good morning, sir.

Check in Omar's file
whether he left his home number or not.

Sir, Omar is in his office.

When I arrived I couldn't find you,

so I thought I'd wait for you
in my office.

I don't know
if I can still consider it my office.

It's your office, for sure.

Tell me, what is going on with you?

The girl you saw with me,
the one that I love...

I decided to elope with her.

As you know, she is a married woman,

and her husband
doesn't want to divorce her.

And he restricted her
from travelling as well.

What are you talking about, Omar?

You want to leave everything
and elope with her?

You think this is the solution?

This was the only option I had,
what else can I do?

Would anyone fall in love
with a married woman?

-Tell me, Omar, where is she now?
-She is with me.

I bought a new house in a remote place

so that her husband wouldn't know
her whereabouts.

What are you saying?
You'll always be on the run with her?

-What kind of life is this?
-What would you have me do?

I tried to flee, to start a new chapter,
to start a new life, but it seems I can't.

All right, calm down,
there's a solution to every problem.

Where is her husband now?
And what's his name?

-Mahmoud Fayad.
-Listen, Abou Afif, I told you,

I am no longer interested in buying
any property in the neighborhood.

It's over.

What?

No, darling, you will return the deposit.

You will pay it,
whether you like it or not.

Otherwise, you're not going
to like my response.

Why are you upset, dear Jaber?

No one dares to upset me.

-But why did you sleep in?
-The mattress is comfortable, darling.

Well, well.

That's why I bought the mattress,

so that you and Mr. Jaber
can feel comfortable on it.

-Welcome, ma'am.
-Who is this, dear Jaber?

Let me introduce Mrs. Mimo,
she a real estate agent.

An estate agent, right?

Come on, leave, get out.

We'll talk later, Mrs. Mimo.
We'll talk business later.

Take your stuff with you.

I will call you later,
madam, about the business.

Welcome, ma'am.
Welcome to your house, ma'am.

-Stay seated, don't bother.
-Excuse me, ma'am, there you are.

It's your house and your property.
Ma'am, please sit down.

Didn't I tell you not
to bring women to this house?

Do you think I opened a nightclub for you?

-It's business, ma'am, I swear.
-Business, yeah.

Look at me.

Look at me, Jaber.

No one can make a fool of me.

I can manipulate ten people like you,
do you hear me?

At least, be a man and tell the truth.

Excuse me, ma'am,
I won't make this mistake again.

No, you won't do it again,
because right now,

you will go up
and pack your stuff and leave.

-Now.
-Forgive me, ma'am.

Get lost. Now.

I won't repeat the mistake,
just give me two days,

because my wedding is on Friday,

and the bride's parents think
that the villa is mine.

So, after the wedding,
I wanted to come with the bride,

and spend a couple of days here
then leave.

That's nice, it was a nightclub,
now it's a hotel.

Aren't you married anyway?

I was married to two women,
ma'am, but not anymore.

Anyway, I have the right
to marry four women.

I can still marry
three women besides Lamees.

-Your bride's name is Lamees?
-Yes, ma'am, Lamees.

And whose daughter is she?

The daughter of a man
from our neighborhood,

I already told you about him,
he was helping me.

And what's the name of this man?

His name is Amine, ma'am.

And how old is your bride?

She is a teenager.

-And you?
-Age doesn't affect men, ma'am.

And I was still strong,
is something wrong with me?

No, nothing is wrong with you.

Look at you, you are such a handsome man.

And is the girl okay with that?

She's over the moon!
She can't believe her luck.

-So, the wedding is on Friday, you say.
-Yes, Friday, the day after tomorrow.

We'll come here right after the wedding.
We'll spend two days, and leave on Sunday.

Two days, I swear.

Jaber, how could you have a wedding
and not invite me?

I wanted to invite you, ma'am,

but I wasn't sure
whether you'd accept my invitation.

It's taking place in our neighborhood,
on Friday at 8:00.

We would be honored, ma'am.

Honored, of course.
I'm not going to honor you.

But it's your duty to invite me.

Congratulations.

Anyway, when you get married,
you come to this house with your wife.

And you don't leave unless I tell you.

-Do you hear me?
-Of course, ma'am.

We'll do whatever you want, of course.

I think this is good for the parsley.

So, you're not coming back until Saturday?

I hope I can stay till Monday.

Of course, the madam wouldn't accept that.

Neither would I.

Do you think I'd accept
you leaving me for four days, Sariah,

with all the work that needs to be done?

Unless you leave your daughter here
to help me, of course.

Not at all, God forbid,
my daughter is coming with me.

Don't be like that.
Come on, I'm coming back on Saturday,

and I will leave a few meals in the fridge
for you, ready to be reheated. So?

I don't know why
you're suddenly being like this.

I told you, it's my niece's wedding,
what's with you?

You are so dirty, damn you.

You, cunning fox, you never told me

that your sister has a daughter
old enough to get married?

-How am I going to believe you?
-I just told you now, Mona.

A wonderful girl,
and the groom is a great catch.

-Did they catch him somewhere?
-You are so silly.

And you are not silly at all.

-Is he handsome?
-What do you mean?

Who put these here?

Who cares about beauty
over wealth nowadays?

The dollars! The more dollars he has,
the more handsome he becomes.

You make me sick, you've given me
a stomach ache, you're so materialistic.

Where is Siham?

Amine, how many times have
I told you not to enter the kitchen?

Sariah, Mrs. Reem is outside,
go and talk to her.

-Now?
-Yes, go now.

Talk her into it.

Mrs. Reem, please.

I searched for you in the morning
and couldn't find you.

Excuse me, next time, I will ask
for your permission if I want to go out.

No, that's not what I meant, ma'am, sorry.

I just wanted to ask for your permission
about something else.

-What is it?
-Amine and I, we want a two day leave.

I mean, tomorrow and the day after.

What is the reason?

My niece is getting married
in the mountains.

-Ah, your niece!
-Yes, my sister's daughter.

-I raised her myself, ma'am.
-Of course you can go. Congratulations!

Mission accomplished.

Get out of the way, bro.

-She slept.
-She did?

Finally...

God knows how much I missed you.

I love you, my shy wife, my darling.

Can't I buy some luck if I have none?

-Master Abdallah.
-It's Rasheed.

-Master Abdallah.
-What is it, Rasheed?

Master, please open
and I will tell you everything.

I will open, but lower your voice,
the girl is sleeping, okay?

-What is it?
-Lamees.

-What's wrong with Lamees?
-I don't know where they've taken her.

Sariah, are you okay?

-How long do you need to finish eating?
-Now, you're jealous of me having a bite?

Amine, darling.

Lamees is not here, and we're alone
in the house, the house is empty.

-Now you love Lamees and you miss her?
-That's not what I meant.

It's just that we're alone,
and there's no one to bother us.

Perfect timing!

Go and change
into something more suitable.

-Hello, Amine.
-Welcome.

I don't know why we are late to thank you
for attending my wedding with Hanane.

-So, we came to pay you a surprise visit.
-And we brought you a gift of fine honey.

We don't want your honey,
and we don't want your bees to sting us.

Listen, folks, it's true
that we were raised together

in the same neighborhood.

But your relative Rasheed, what he did
shows no manners and no values at all.

You are right,
everything you said is right,

that's why we came
to talk about this subject.

Listen, we know
that Rasheed did something wrong,

but believe me, he had good intentions.

You are late in asking for
her hand in marriage, Abdallah,

Lamees is now Jaber's fiancée
and their wedding is on Friday.

Who, Jaber? You mean Jaber,
the one we know?

Yes, it's Jaber, the one you know.

It is possible
that you're going to marry your daughter

to a man in her grandfather's age,
just because he has money?

Listen, Amine, Hanane comes
to my house to teach me some manners

and to tell me who I should
marry my daughter to.

No, sorry, that's not what we meant.

I mean, you're free
to marry your daughter off.

Excuse us, but maybe
you can hear our suggestion.

-You might like it, you might not.
-A suggestion, tell us.

We all know
that Rasheed is still a young man.

But believe me,
his future is well-covered,

more than any young man his age.

How exactly is Rasheed's future covered
better than any other young man?

I gave him my apartment
as an inheritance gift.

Not only that, I also gave him the shop
and my house as an inheritance gift.

After my death, of course,
I have no one else to inherit from me.

Now, listen, we all know
that they love each other,

let's not break their hearts.

-What do you say?
-We don't have a bride for you in here.

Lamees is Jaber's fiancée
and she will marry him.

Is it possible
that you are heartless with no conscience?

How can you sell your daughter
in exchange for money?

Can you stop living in the clouds, Hanane?

And tell this curly-haired Rasheed,
that the two apartments,

and the shop,
are nothing compared to what Jaber has.

If you don't know how to get
the spoils for our daughter,

we know how to do that very well.

But believe me,
money is not everything in life.

Calm down, folks, we can't solve things
like that, it's give and take.

We don't want to take,
and of course, we don't want to give.

Amine...

think about this.

I did.

I don't agree.

Excuse us, people, we seem inhospitable.

There, take one, Abdallah,
and I hope you attend the wedding.

Actually, it's going to be more like
a festival. Take one, please.

A big festival,
we'll even close the street.

Hanane, darling,
this is a lemon-flavored candy.

And if you want to leave us the honey,
you can, we would have a use for it.

Welcome, Mr. Hadi,
come in, your table is ready.

You look so beautiful.

-Mr. Amir.
-Hello.

-I hope I'm not late.
-Not at all, I just got here early.

-There was a traffic jam, so excuse us.
-Never mind.

My brother, Basil.
This is Mr. Amir Khattar.

Pleased to meet you.

-Surely, she is your wife
-Yes, it's my wife, Sahar.
