01x22 - Episode 22

[bunniefuu]

Actually, ginger tea
is my favorite drink, Miss Sahar.

-Would it bother you if I smoked?
-You'll have to excuse me.

-I can't stand the smell of tobacco.
-All right, I won't smoke.

Also, ginger is the next thing
we have in common.

-And what is the first thing?
-Travelling.

We both like to travel.

And we like to gather souvenirs
from the countries we visit.

But I am sure there will be
a third thing we have in common.

-Which is?
-The business.

And the partnership.

You know, Mrs. Sahar... Sorry, Miss.

I have a feeling that we're going to
have things in common besides business.

-Is that a feeling or a wish?
-I'll be straightforward, both.

If it's a feeling, I can't argue,

it's your feeling
and you're free to have it.

But if it's a wish, let me tell you
that your wish will never come true.

And why is that?

Because your reputation
as a womanizer precedes you, Mr. Amir.

And when it comes to men,
I don't like sharing.

EPISODE 22

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

You look so beautiful.

-Mr. Amir, welcome, hope I am not late.
-Not at all, I just got here early.

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

My brother, Basil,
this is Mr. Amir Khattab.

Pleased to meet you.

-Surely, this is your wife.
-Yes, this is my wife, Sahar.

-I am honored, ma'am.
-My wife, Reem.

-Welcome.
-Pleased to meet you.

Let's sit, please,
you may sit here next to your wife.

Let's sit, my darling.

Welcome, all of you, I have been waiting
for this gathering for a long time.

-Have we met before, ma'am?
-No, I don't think so.

Yes, we have,
but I am trying to remember where.

I remember, I saw you
in a picture with Hadi in his office.

By the way, you look great together.

Thank you.
You said that your wife was coming,

and that we'd be honored
to have her with us.

Why didn't she come?

The plane was supposed to arrive at 6:00,

but there was a delay
and now it's landing at 11:00.

It's okay, it's all good.

What would you like to drink?

-We won't have ginger tea, of course.
-No.

-Let's have wine.
-Yes, wine is great.

But perhaps the ladies would like
to have something else.

We'll have wine.

-Red wine, Mrs. Sahar?
-It doesn't matter.

Okay. Waiter.

Rasheed, don't get upset, darling.

Perhaps what happened
is for your own good.

You can't get along with her parents,
they are nothing like us.

Lamees is a good girl, but it's all about
what is meant for you in life.

It's not a matter of luck, Aunt,
this is called poverty.

Poverty is what makes her parents
prefer someone like Jaber over me.

Lamees, you should eat something,
my darling.

How about a grilled cheese sandwich?

I don't want to eat, Aunt, good night.

What a girl.

This is what the Madame asked me to bring.

Send my greetings to the Madame.

Did they do anything to you,
did they hurt you?

No.

I am sorry to put you in this situation.

It's okay,
I've been through much worse situations.

If you want to start anew,
it has to be on all levels.

Do you know how much
what you just blew away cost me?

How expensive can it be?
More expensive than your health?

-More expensive than me.
-Nothing is more expensive than you.

Nothing.

Lamees!

Lamees!

Lamees!

I will drink to this nice gathering.

Hope our partnership
will happen soon, cheers.

-How long have you been married?
-About seven months.

-So, you're basically newlyweds.
-You may say so.

But Basil and Sahar
are the real newlyweds among us.

Mrs. Sahar, your face is familiar,
have we met before?

Maybe, I don't know.

-What is your business?
-Sahar is a real estate agent.

She buys old houses
and she renovates them, that's how we met.

And what do you do, Mrs. Reem?

I don't work.

Actually, Reem used to
work here at this restaurant.

But she stopped after we got married.

It seems you're one of those men
who doesn't like their wife working.

That's true, I'd like to pamper my wife.

You know, I was like you,

I liked to pamper
and even spoil my lady.

But my ex-wife was not faithful to me,
she had everything going for her.

I honored her
and she didn't need anything at all,

but she turned out to be a thief.

A stealer.

Voracious.

But not all women are the same, Mr. Amir.

And I think
that is why you got married again, right?

Yes.

Excuse me.

-I'm going to the ladies' room.
-Okay, darling.

I'm coming with you.

Had we known that your wife wasn't coming,
the three of us could have dined alone.

The ladies
must have been getting ready,

I didn't want to cancel
at the last minute, I was embarrassed.

You are so kind.

You haven't told me yet,
do you like the place?

It's the best piano bar in all of Beirut.

-Have you been here before?
-Honestly, I haven't.

-Not even once?
-Not once.

Surely, it's not a coincidence,
surely, it's not a coincidence.

He saw my picture in the office
and he intended to sit with us,

do you hear me,
he intended to sit with us today.

When I was here yesterday,
I thought it might be him.

Why aren't you saying something?
Say something, Sahar.

So, you didn't call me
from a private number without talking?

I told you for the millionth time,
it wasn't me.

It was him, it was Amir.

That means the roses that were
sent to my house were from him.

I thought you are playing this dirty game.

This is very nice.

Now he has your phone number
and he knows where we live,

and he is outside with Hadi,
what should I do with my life now?

Tell me, what do I do?

Say something, Sahar,
you always have a solution!

What can I say?

What would you have me say?
It's all your fault, you brainless girl.

You've been dragging your story with
that damned Hadi for seven months now.

We should have been done in three months.

Since when have we stayed
in a marriage that long, since when?

Now, use your brain and get us out
of the mess you got us into!

Use your brainless head and get us out
of the cesspit that you dragged us into.

-It's Amir.
-Answer.

Answer him, Sahar.

-Hello.
-It's a nice surprise, isn't it?

So, you remain silent.

I want to hear your voice
and the voice of your friend, Wejdan.

Her name is Wejdan, right?

Amir, I beg you,
we are ready for whatever you want.

Every penny I took from you,
I can pay it back many times over,

I will give it to you gladly.

But, please, don't expose us, I beg you.

Don't worry, I haven't said anything
in front of Hadi and Basil,

I haven't told them anything up until now.

There's something about this Amir
that makes me uncomfortable.

I feel like he's planning something,
I don't feel comfortable around him, bro.

We're just getting to know him
and we're testing him,

if we like what we see,
we become partners, if not, then we won't.

It's not a big deal.

I am sorry, but it was a business call
and I had to answer.

Take your time, no problem.

So, tell me, Basil,
what do you think about marriage?

Have you done
a complete study about the project?

The study is already done,
and it's ready with me.

-But the circumstances have changed now.
-Of course.

We must adjust it as we go.

-Can I have a word with you?
-Yes, darling.

-Excuse us.
-Of course.

What is the matter?

-I don't feel good, I want to go now.
-What's wrong with you?

-I have a stomachache.
-Okay, I'll take you home, let's go.

Excuse me, folks,
I have to take Reem home.

-What's wrong?
-She doesn't feel well.

Don't worry, I will take her,
since Mr. Amir's wife didn't come anyway.

Just have your dinner,
I will take care of her.

-Is that okay, darling?
-Okay, darling.

Take the keys to my car,
I will come back with Hadi.

Okay, excuse us.

-Let me walk with you to the car.
-No, you don't have to.

It's all right, I will walk you
to the car. Just five minutes.

Excuse me, I apologize,
pleased to meet you.

When you get there, darling,
let me know if all is well.

-Sure.
-You stay, Basil, I will be back.

Are you in pain?

-Where is she?
-In the bedroom.

Is it possible, sister?
We thought the girl was safe with you.

Are you trying to k*ll yourself,
you animal?

Not like that, Amine, I beg you.

-g*dd*mn you!
-Enough!

-Look at me!
-Enough!

You will marry Jaber,
whether you like it or not!

Stop it,
you're going to k*ll your daughter!

This is not my daughter
and you know that!

You're kidding me, right?

-You always tell jokes.
-No, I'm not kidding, I am not!

-We took you off the streets!
-Amine!

We raised you and educated you,
so that you'd help us!

-Is this what you do, ungrateful child?
-Amine!

Mom, tell me that he is lying to me,
he is lying, Mom, please, answer me.

Tell me that you are my parents.

Answer me, Aunt,
you always tell the truth.

Calm down, I beg you.

-Amine, get out.
-I beg you, Mom.

Get out!

-Sit down, sit down.
-Mom!

Tell me that you are my parents,
look at me, talk to me.

-Oh, my darling.
-Why aren't you talking to me?

-Auntie...
-Oh, my darling.

Somebody talk to me, please.

Mom!

-Issam.
-Yes, Mr. Hadi.

Do you see the one sitting at our table?

-Yes.
-Keep watching him.

-And when he leaves, you go after him.
-Okay.

-And tell the guys.
-Will do.

Reem.

Listen to me carefully,
we must run away, we have to go.

-Where would we go?
-Wherever.

Even to hell itself, but we must go!

No, I am not leaving.

Listen to me,
we can't go back to the house.

We are busted,
that's it, we are exposed.

If Amir hasn't already told them,
he will tell them later.

If he wanted to tell them, he would have,
he wouldn't let us run away.

Are you crazy?
We're at the edge of the cliff.

We're being pushed
and we go back to ground zero!

I am staying, if you want to go, then go.

-I am not leaving Hadi.
-What about Hadi?

When Hadi knows
that you are a crook and a thief,

do you know what he will do to you?

He will cut you into pieces,
do you understand?

The game is over, game over!
Get in the car!

Now, get in the car right now!

You are so selfish that you can't
even see selfishness anymore!

I am not leaving Hadi!

And I will keep
fighting for him till the end!

-Till the end, do you hear me?
-Reem!

Am I selfish?
Aren't you the selfish one?

You think you're the only one
who wants to love and be loved?

Are you the only one with feelings
and a beating heart?

Amir is the love of my life.

Amir is the only man
I've fallen in love with.

Yet, I left him for our sake!

I wasn't selfish like you,
I went on with the game till the end!

For your sake,
and for my sake, do you understand?

Reem, look at me.

Let's run away, we can't lose
everything we've built through the years.

I beg you, in the name
of our sisterhood and our friendship.

I beg you, in the name of the promise
that we made for each other.

I beg you, I beg you, please.

Let's run away, say yes, say yes.

Please.

Just say yes, please.

Please, don't go, don't go.

Wejdan!

Wejdan!

Omar, we have a dilemma,
we have to run away, right now,

do you hear me, we should go!

Why aren't you talking, Reem?
What is going on, tell me.

It's nothing, I swear,
I am just tired and I have a headache.

And where are the boys,
where are Basil and Hadi?

Where else would they be?

They're at the restaurant,
enjoying their time there, stop worrying.

Are you sure, you're not hiding
anything from me?

Please, it's not my day,
can I just go and take a pill and rest?

It's okay, calm down, darling,
go to your room and have a shower.

I will get you something to drink
and two pills for your headache.

You haven't gone to bed yet?

I heard a strange noise,
so I wanted to check.

I thought you were in bed
and the couples were out having dinner.

I couldn't sleep.

Go and make a cup of tea
and bring some painkillers.

Painkillers? What is wrong?

Omar, is that you,
what are you doing here?

Do you remember
how we used to steal, you and me?

Shut up and get out of here,
do you understand?

I'm only leaving with you.

Are you crazy?
Hadi's mother is downstairs.

I won't wait for a moment.

Listen to me, Wejdan, we are in danger,

Amir can expose all of us
at any moment, do you understand?

I beg you, Hadi's mother is downstairs
and she might show up at any moment.

-Oh God, Wejdan, come on, Wejdan.
-I beg you, please.

Welcome, Mr. Hadi.

-Where is your brother?
-I left him at the restaurant.

-Where is Reem?
-She is up in her room.

-I was bringing her some tea.
-Let me take it to her.

So, this is the bed
where you sleep together and you do stuff?

I beg you, Omar, please, hush.

-I couldn't care less.
-Don't cause a scene, please.

She is coming, I beg you.

It is too late, do you know that?

That means we only
have one chance, we must go.

And Sahar is waiting for us,
do you hear me?

-I'm not going anywhere, my life is here...
-Don't say that, you are my life.

Mr. Hadi.

The sugar,
Mrs. Reem likes her tea with sugar.

Thank you.

And if you need anything,
I'll be downstairs.

Reem?

What are you doing here, darling?
Why did you come back so early?

I couldn't leave you like that.
Why are you so wet?

It poured on me
while I was walking to the house.

Really? But now you might get sick.

You should take this off,
so you don't get cold.

Come on, quickly, dry your hair
before you get a cold.

I couldn't take it out of the house.
And Hadi returned.

Seems that Amir
didn't tell him anything yet.

I'm in the bathroom right now.
Come quickly.

-Thank you.
-You're welcome.

Good evening, what is going on, lady?

It isn't like you to stay up this late.

I couldn't sleep,
Reem came and she was tired,

something is troubling her
and I got worried.

-Is she better now?
-I don't know, she is up in her room.

She is with Hadi,
I didn't want to bother them.

-Where is Sahar?
-Didn't she come with you?

Sahar?

-Come on, darling, drink this.
-No, I can't.

Of course you can, drink it.

-I swear, I can't.
-Just one sip.

-Later.
-It's okay, drink it now.

-I did.
-Good.

I will have a shower,
darling, I feel cold.

-Is Najah still awake?
-Maybe, I don't know.

Why don't you hang out with her
while I take a shower?

Later, go and have a shower,
I'll be waiting for you.

Hadi, are you still awake?

How do you feel now?
Hope you're better.

Better, thank God.

Where is Sahar, I've been
looking for her, but I can't find her.

She went to the pharmacy
to get me my medication.

-All right, take care.
-Thank you, God bless you.

Be careful, Sahar,
Basil is asking about you,

and Reem told him
that you're at the pharmacy.

Deal with it.

Yes, Issam, tell me.

-Where is he now?
-He just arrived at the hotel.

This is enough, get out.

-The balcony is in front of you.
-I don't want to get out.

-Look at you, you're wasted.
-Exactly, it's my fault.

-Are you crazy?
-Take off your clothes, now.

Are you shy?

You should be shy
to do it in front of him,

because I am your husband
and he is not, do you hear me?

-Do it now.
-You're such an animal.

You'll need 20 minutes to get from
your brother-in-law's to the hotel,

I will give you 30.

I guess you know the hotel well,
it's where we spent the best of our days.

I can't go to you now, not at this hour.
What am I going to tell Basil?

Thirty minutes, one minute after that,

I will tell Hadi everything I know,
and believe me, I know a lot.

Omar, I'm going to see Amir,

deal with Basil,
it's a calamity, Omar, a calamity.

-Sahar says hello.
-Just leave.

Darling, are you okay?

Yes, darling, I am good,
just brushing my teeth, I am coming.

You're happy about what's going
to happen between us.

Get out.

Darling, you smell so good.

-Are you warm now?
-Yes, I feel better.

Put something else on,
to keep you warm, come on.

The call aren't going through,
why isn't she answering?

She should turn her phone on.

-Calm down, darling.
-I don't want to calm down, Mom.

She went to the pharmacy two hours ago,
perhaps something happened to her.

-Basil, Basil.
-The line is off.

Basil, look at me, Basil, look at me.

If she doesn't come back, take your
brother and report it to the police.

What are you saying, Mom?

I want to see her, I'm afraid
something might have happened to her.

Why isn't she answering?

Why did she turn her phone off,
she shouldn't do this.

If something's happened to her...

I hope nothing's happened to her,
please, God.

God, please, answer me, Sahar,
please answer me.

Hello.

Mr. Basil's wife just arrived
at the hotel where Amir is staying.

-Okay, just keep working on the subject.
-Don't worry.

Is something the matter, darling?

There's a small problem at work,
I am going to brush my teeth.

What did I do to you
to make you treat me like that?

What did I do to you?
That was all because of money?

You could've told me from the beginning

and I would have given you
whatever you wanted.

Instead of using me and abusing me,
you and your partner.

How did you know?

Is that what you care about?

Is that what you care about?

How did I know that you're both crooks,
you and your partner?

Amir, I am ready to pay back
every penny I took from you.

What about my dignity?

How do you give me back my dignity?

Can you put a price on it?

Tell me, how much money
would my dignity be worth, how much?

Who am I to you?

Who am I to you?

Everything you told me
was a bunch of lies?

All the beautiful things
we lived together were just lies?

You cheated on me too.

You cheated on me with Reem,
don't forget that.

When did I do that?

Wasn't that after you alienated yourself
from me and you made me hate my life?

If you really loved me,
you wouldn't have betrayed me!

-Those who love cannot cheat.
-If I really loved you?

My only problem is that I love you,
my problem is that I really love you!

You must skip the tears,
because I know them all too well.

I know your tears all too well.

This file has all the stuff
about you and your partner.

You'll find in it all the things
that I know about you,

and you'd be surprised of the many
things I know about you.

You and your partner, Omar.

From the days of the orphanage.

To every man
you robbed him of his money.

She was supposed to get married

and you were supposed to hit
on her husband.

But there's something
that I can't understand.

You were supposed to hit on Hadi,
so why did you marry his brother?

It seems you changed your plan this time.

Reem and I,
we stopped doing that kind of work.

She fell in love with Hadi
and she married him.

-And...
-And you... fell in love with Basil?

Amir, please,

I am ready to pay you back every penny,
with the interest as well.

And the pieces of land
that I already sold,

I will also give you what they are worth.

I accept.

But I have one request, little girl.

You can ask for anything.

I want you to spend
the night here with me.

After that, we'll no longer be enemies.
