"Episode 4"
Listen up, people!
We're in for a long day
It's going to be hard for all of us so we need to go easy on each other
Everything must be up and ready
And by that I mean the lighting the reflectors, the models

Because organization is the key factor leading to creativity, clear?
Let's go ahead with this
Quickly, give it to me Are you ready?
Tilt your head a bit Perfect

Get closer! This way, turn it towards her face! Use it!
Ready? That's perfect

These shoes will look amazing with that dress' color
OK, Nancy Now show me the color of this one
I think it matches with this dress just let me take a look
Take notes, alright? Don't forget these notes like you used to, Nancy
OK, so now the black shoes is a good match with this dress over here

Breathe in... Now I'm getting dizzy
That's OK, that's OK this was bound to happen
Here we go again
Bravo, one more time
Unbelievable, Cyrine! You did this on purpose!
You wanted to ruin this shot I know you very well
Dany, calm down
Maybe this way the shot will look more lively
Go back to your mommy's place Move it
Now she's telling me how to do my job!
Honey, I need to see the brand's name I care less about your face!
OK! I need to see the brand's name, now go
I'm not going to lose my temper let's do this
Perfect
Wow
- Let's go - Ready
Dear, I don't wanna see your face now, move your face to the other side, OK?
I only want to see the shoes now
Tilt your head down, that's great Bravo!
Look at the shoes
I said look at the shoes!
Your eyes looking that way, go
One more
Daniel?
Good work, man
I feel like the girls are a bit tired
You're amazing, man you never miss a detail
I don't care, it's their job
Don't you think there's a problem with this model's dress?
What's the problem?
I don't think it matches with the shoes she's wearing
I think you better change it
- Right? - Right
OK, go change it, hurry
Sama, water
- I said water - You need to drink, right
Help her change
Here you go
Finally! Our hero is here Only Malek can save us from all this chaos
Cyrine, you should be careful because you could fall any minute
These high heels you're wearing is not a good choice for the beach
Thanks for watching over me, baby You're such a gentleman!
What do you want me to wear? You have anything in mind?
I suggest you wear some flat shoes or if you wish maybe you can...
Walk barefoot?
That's a possibility, why not?
When you get out of this door the only thing you can talk about is work
Got it?
Got it
Perfect, we have so much work for today, let's get moving
Good morning, lovely people!
- How are you all? - We're feeling great!
I meant... Everything's going great I meant the preparations
Everybody's ready and everything's going great
Wow, everything looks amazing
Daniel, bravo! How are you, man?
I'm not OK, man
I was under the burning sun the whole morning
and your friend keeps complaining about everything
and I'm starting to get wrinkles all over my face!
I'm starting to get nervous and stressed after all this!
No, my love, calm down
Malek, this can't continue like this
We must adjust the set, we don't want to upset our great artist
You know what, Daniel? I can give you a sunscreen if you want
- Here you go - I'm sure you're joking, right?
Not at all, it's all yours you may use it
Honey, instead of searching for silly things in your purse
go and get me some flat shoes size 40 from my caravan
- On it, Yes? - Sama!
When you get to the caravan, change to something more comfortable
and while you're at it change your shoes too
On it, OK Anyone needs anything else?
All's good?
I see some beautiful girls over here, eh?
Malek, let me show you the shots we've taken so far today
I was about to ask you for that Let's go
- Keep up the good work, Dany - Thank you
I'll be right with you
Put some more
Over here
What is this smell? You gave me the cheapest sunscreen in your purse?
- One, two... You're dizzy? - Yes, a little bit
I saw how Cyrine was mean to you so I thought I'd change your mood
So far I liked number one and number four
Number one and number four
Sama
- Sama! - Coming, coming
Wait, wait
I need to do something before you leave, wait
- What is it? - The sun is burning hot today
One
Two
Sama!
- Coming, coming! - Of course, the boss needs you
I can't believe how stupid this girl can be, Sultan!
- Who are you talking about? Sama? - Of course, who else?
Look at her strutting like a chicken all around the place
This kid has serious issues
Sultan, she needs too much work
Let me see
And on top of all that she's not dressed up
She's really unbelievable that kid
Just look at what she's wearing and compare it with Cyrine's outfit
She's nothing like the other girls
She has no idea about etiquette or elegance or anything at all
- She's just an assistant after all - Stop it, Sultan
You really think I got her as an assistant for real?
I don't know what to tell you
Malek and everybody else at the company think she's an assistant
Sultan, we hired her as Malek's assistant so that he would fall in love with her
that's why she needs to take good care of herself
she must get dressed up and look elegant
She must turn into a diva!
How about we go down there and take a closer look?
This way we can handle things on spot
No, give me that let me take a look
I'm afraid if we go down there she might mess up even more
- Peace be unto you - And peace be unto you too
- Welcome, what a great surprise, Amin - I really missed you, man
Welcome, welcome, welcome
Welcome my man
- Have a seat - Thank you so much
This shop never changes
And you never changed too
By the way, the time that went flying by never crossed your path?
So many things have happened in this store with so much memories
How about I get the backgammon board to settle some old scores?
I came here specifically to beat you like you've never been beaten before
- Go get the board - We'll see about that
That's the board
If only this board could speak... It would have had a lot to say
That's true
By the way, have you seen our son lately?
Wait, wait, let's drink our coffee, play a few games
and then we can discuss this later What's the hurry anyway?
Just don't start nagging after I win, I'm not looking for quarrels
How I missed our gatherings, Adib
- Let's play - Let's go
Take the pieces, no wait let me take these first
- No problem - Go ahead
If you think this is a bit dark
I can always brighten it up with the photoshop program
Look at this one look how amazing this looks
And look at this one
And take a look at this one too
Look, look how great this looks
Look at the color look how I handled this
Here
You see how great it looks?
Where is it?
And there's also this take
Look... And this one too
Take a look at this one too
Look at this, here
Hey!
This is really amazing! I'm so happy with this!
Now you've seen all the photographs I took and there's a bit more too
- I hope you liked them - We'll see
Cyrine, how about you come and sit in my lap?
Why not
Ok, I'll be calling you Peace, bye
- Rami, let's talk a bit since you're here - Yes? About what?
- I'll tell you shortly - I'm coming with you
No, we need to discuss this in private
He got you upset, right?
Get the set ready on the double I still have a photoshoot with Stephany, OK?
- Rami, how do you know this girl? - What girl?
Sama, my assistant
I saw her C.V when she applied for a vacancy
I don't know why I think she used to work at Solo
- Solo? - Yes, Solo restaurant
Right, maybe... She didn't find a good job
and that's why she worked as a waitress for a short while
Since I know how you think and I know you don't have a problem with that
On the contrary, you're someone who likes independent people
And on top of that her C.V was perfect
and she can manage anything you throw at her as you can see
I know she can handle anything but did you check her references
- before you hired her? - Of course
I asked around and I inquired about her family and parents...
Why would I do that, man? What's wrong?
She presented a good C.V and she passed the interview so I hired her
Why would I ask about her? I'm not asking for her hand in marriage
Listen, Malek I know nothing about her but...
She seems to be good at what she does
She's full of energy
- Full of energy - Yes
Fine, we'll see how it goes
Look at this amazing view
Stephany, listen to me, dear
You need to immerse yourself in nature
You need to feel the waves
So when you put your foot down we're going to change the shoes
We're going to change the shoes with almost each passing wave
You have to put a foot down and raise the other foot
with every passing wave
When the wave splashes you raise your foot
and when the wave leaves you remove your foot
So it's a continuous movement, OK?
Let's get started
Show me the harmony
Bravo! That's perfect! Show me the harmony
Now go up, more...
That's it! Bravo! Move with each passing wave, bravo!
Move in harmony, up
Go on, new shoes with each new wave
Bravo!
Get me the new shoes Change her shoes
- The shoes! - Get me new shoes!
Where are the shoes, guys?
I'll go get it for you, Mr. Daniel I'm on my way
Hurry!
- This one's good - Yes, get it
OK
Quickly!
- Hurry, come and wear this - Help her wear it, move it!
- Don't take too much time - Move it!
Move it!
- What the heck did you do! - She fell down
You made her fall down what's the matter with you?
She made the model fall down!
Oh my God!
My leg hurts
I hate this day! I just felt the bad vibes ever since this morning!
My leg is killing me
Help the model and check up on the other one
My leg is hurt, please!
This girl must be crazy! I'm sure of it
- Why? What happened? - How can you still ask that question?
- We must get down there right away - Where to?
What's wrong with you, Sultan? We need to go to the photoshoot set
I don't want that crazy girl to ruin the whole plan
and I'm positive we will lose that castle on top of the hill
- Let's move it quickly then - Let's go
- Wait for me, Sultan - Come, come
I said wait for me!
My leg!
- Sama, what's wrong? - My leg, I'm sure it's broken
- Does it hurt? - It's killing me!
Lean on me
- It's broken, I'm sure it's broken - Relax, calm down
- Does it hurt a lot? - It does, it's broken, right?
No, calm down Go get me the first aid kit, quickly!
- I can't move it - Don't move it, stretch it
You're mad at me, right Mr. Malek?
Of course not
I was just trying to help her wear the shoes because Mr. Daniel was upset
- I never meant to make her fall - Calm down, Sama, calm down
Just hold on a bit
- I'm really... - Where does it hurt exactly?
Here... I'm terribly sorry, Mr. Malek
Don't worry, I asked you to go get the first aid kit! Don't make me shout again!
Get away from me! Go to your work!
- I'm really sorry for this - No need to apologize, Sama
No, don't
How do you like that? Look at what Malek's doing
Instead of taking care of the model he's worried about that assistant
I'm sure Stephany's indisposed now after that fall in the water
What did you expect him to do?
- Blow on her to dry her up? - Stop it, Rami!
You're so beautiful
What are you doing here? You, nerdy! Get up
- Where to? - Move away
Hurry! Hurry!
- This hurts so much - Try to bear the pain a bit
Just for a few moments more
I'm wrapping it up with this bandage, OK?
Mr. Malek, say something
I know you're so mad at me right now
Try to vent, you may even get mad at me, I just...
I really didn't mean to...
I was only trying to help Stephany
Did I hurt you now?
What is this? I this because of the fall?
No, that's a birthmark
OK
It's going to get better now
If you don't feel any better I'll take you to the hospital
Stay put, don't try to move it
OK
Stop it right there, Sultan!
Look, look, look how Malek's taking care of Sama
- I can't believe my eyes - I can't believe it either
I'm more baffled than you are right now
- Sultan... - What is it?
Look at that evil witch Cyrine and how she's looking at Sama
I'm sure she's so angry right now Let's have some fun
How about we drive a wedge between them?
I can't wait, It gives me great pleasure to do that
Let's do that
Malek's overwhelmed at work right now
This is what's been killing me
Working nonstop, this is exhausting
You know what? I would have felt much better if he got married
That's not up to you, Adib
It's true that our kids are more precious than our souls
but we don't have the right to influence their lives
Each person has to walk his own path the way he likes
I never had a problem with that, he may take his own path
but why won't he ask for advice from the elders?
That's so you, Adib You will never change
This reminds me of an old saying "old habits die hard"
You still don't know why this kid is upsetting you?
The problem is with your stubbornness
So now I'm stubborn? I never asked for anything!
I just want him to get married
I beg you, Faysal... Try to convince him he should get married
That's impossible
As much as you're stubborn he's way worse than you are
He only does what he wishes to do
and whenever he rejects something nothing can make him change his mind
I've helped raise this kid and I know the way he thinks
You know, Faysal? I can never repay you for all your favors no matter how hard I try
Ever since you started taking care of Malek, you became like a real father
He had sworn he didn't wish to see any of us
You helped him out
You know that you helped us too when you helped him?
Had it not been for you I wouldn't have felt at ease
or even got any sleep
Malek is like a son to me, Adib
So you better discuss anything else but this
I need to ask you a favor
I beg you... Let your family members live the way they want
and stop interfering in their lives
There is no power or might except by God
Let's play
You kept me waiting for so long but you just gave me the best chance to win
I'm heading for a clear win, dude
You keep talking as if the dice will always please you
You won't get the numbers you're asking for
- Throw the dice already! - Here we go
- How about that? - Darn it!
How did you get the exact numbers you needed?
- You must be cheating! - You just don't know how to play
and you'll never be a good player
You're calling me a lousy player?
I made these dice myself!
Hi, Cyro!
Witch
Hello, Ms. Farida
You look so nice and chic with this outfit, Ms. Farida
They're perfectly suitable for the photoshoot session
Why are you so pale, Cyrine? You're like dripping with venom
You have a low blood pressure?
I got much better as soon as I saw you
You always surprise us with your pop up visits
And I will continue to surprise you with my pop up visits over and over
You know why? I just want to drive away from Malek
all the greedy women and the cheaters...
As well as the snakes
You're just in time
Would you take a look at this, please
- Who's that? I don't know her - That is the new assistant
She's such an idiot
- But where's Rana? - She resigned
She said she was offered another job
I've never seen her before I know nothing about her
You know what? I must meet her and right away
Don't sweat it, he'll fire her himself two days from now
- What an imbecile! - That's OK
I'm sure he will fire her at our company's entrance door when he does
and this is why I think it's more than necessary to meet that girl, Cyro
- Sultan! - What's up?
- Come on over, quickly - Coming
A guy suddenly feels he's living with the mermaids here
Come on over
You saw how that evil witch was dripping poison?
- Who do you mean? - Who else could it be other than Cyrine?
She didn't like Sama at all
- Why? - You're asking me why?
It's of course because she felt threatened
and this means we're on the right track, Sultan
Seems like it, and by the way I've always found Cyrine very annoying
She hates everybody, she's so full of herself
I care less about Cyrine, we're not talking about Cyrine now
You men are unbearable, you need too much time to decipher women's thoughts
- Hold it right there! - What's wrong?
- Is something wrong with me? - Keep still for a moment, baby
OK, OK
- Let's go, let's go - Let's go
- Let's go, baby, but where to? - We're going to see Malek
Malek's here?
Feeling better?
Yes, better
Don't worry, it would have hurt much more if it was broken
I'm sure it will be all better at night, just try not to walk on it
Fine, I won't walk on it
- Hello - Hello
My uncle and his wife what brough you two over here?
- Sit down - We were taking a walk
and we thought we'd drop by and say hello
- You were talking a walk here? - Yes, right over here
We enjoy walks and outings as well as the beach and the sun
and the beautiful ladies
By the way, who's this beautiful lady, Malek?
This is my new assistant Sama. She filled in after Rana resigned
- OK, hello, nice to meet you, dear - Nice to meet you too, Ms. Farida
Now wait a minute
How do you know her name?
Why are you surprised, Malek?
She must have recognized her thanks to magazine covers
and social media news, you know that Farida is famous
Of course Sultan, I'm famous throughout the world, right?
I know her from Facebook and other social media pages
How are you, dear? I hope you're good
- Not bad, you know how it is - I know how it is?
- Bless you, bless you - How would I know?
Malek, how about you and Sultan go for a walk on the beach?
The stroll could help you get rid of the negative energy
He's in a very bad mood right now
- Of course - I'd love that
I feel I'm short of breath, let's check up on the model who fell in the water
We wouldn't want to see you short of breath, you're here to have fun
- Let's go then - Come
- Don't walk on it at all, OK? - Deal
Bye, guys, have fun you two
Bye!
Hi, Ms. Sama, what's with all the trouble you got yourself into?
Ms. Farida, everything I did happened by mistake
How can I explain this?
Sometimes, I get excited all of a sudden and I can't control myself
You get excited all of a sudden? What do you think you're doing?
You made the model fall down in the water
I only asked you to attract Malek's attention
I don't think I asked you to attract the attention of the whole world
- and all the staff - You're right, I'm sorry
This won't happen again I promise
- Did that snake tell you anything? - Who do you mean?
Cyrine
No, she didn't say anything but I didn't like that girl at all
She didn't like you either so keep up the good work
What do you mean? I don't get it
There's no need for you to get this
Listen... Why are you so pale?
How many times did I tell you that you should eat more?
How many times did I tell you that men prefer curvy women?
How many times did I tell you so? Now show me your smile
One more time
Ms. Farida, when I told you I didn't like Cyrine and you told me she felt the same
You later said that this is a good thing, why is that? I don't get it
Sama, you don't need to understand the whole thing
I don't want you to mess up again
- OK? Let's go now - Fine
Fine, I just remembered I can't walk
Mr. Malek asked me to sit down and stay here
Darn you!
- Abdo? - What?
Sama came back from work? Have you seen her?
No, I didn't Why? Is something wrong?
No, it's nothing I'm just worried about her
There's something weird going on with that girl
What do you mean? Like what?
- You mean at her new job? - Yes, at her new job
I meant that she used to wait tables and now she's an assistant at a large company
I'm sure this will be hard at the beginning
Aunty Lyn, your mom's been calling you
- She wants you to go back home - Fine, I'll be right there
Mom wants me to get back so I need to leave, I'll be seeing you
No, don't leave
I meant... I'm fed up with the coffee shop
I thought maybe you and I can sit somewhere and talk
- What do you say? - Fine, let's sit in front of our door
Mom prepared cheese Shish Barak I'll get you some
And I'll also prepare you a cup of tea
- Agreed, let's go - Let's go
This is amazing, the sun was burning hot today, Sultan
Unbelievable, I feel like we're a hundred years older
I must ask Naji to drop by tomorrow for a Botox session, this is unbelievable
why are you silent? Are you sleeping already?
No, I'm not sleeping I'm just a bit hungry
- OK, would you like a salad? - No, don't worry
- I'm not that hungry - Sultan
You think this plan could fail?
You think Malek might not marry the girl
and that means we will consequently lose that castle at the top of the hill?
I don't know but my gut feeling tells me this won't work
I feel as if we're betting on the wrong horse
We should have chosen Cyrine and not this naïve girl
Look at Cyrine, Rami's crazy about her and she's crazy about Malek
Why don't we let her marry Malek and this way we can have the castle?
What's wrong with you, Sultan?
Why do you insist on mentioning Cyrine when you know that she stresses me out
and could easily kill me with a stroke
Why do you want Malek to marry Cyrine?
Are you in a hurry to be kicked out of this house?
We're enjoying our time here and we're relaxed with these facial masks
Why do you insist on upsetting me? You can't help it?
Honey, you want me to tell you the truth or not?
Cyrine is an elegant woman... Unlike that stupid kid that you chose
I can't stand her! She doesn't know how to lie
If she speaks more than she's supposed to, she could get in trouble
I don't believe she's up to that task
Sultan! I'm beginning to get tense and this isn't good for me
Look how I'm shaking because of all the tensity
Seti, get me a cup of boiled herbs, please
Honey, I know this is hard but you must hear it from me
and I think what we're headed to will be even more difficult
But we've taken a path and we should go all the way and see what happens
You're unbearable, Sultan Absolutely unbearable
You're adamant on killing me
Seti!
Nice
Show me what you got, old man
There's something I've been meaning to ask you and I keep forgetting
- What's happening to you? - What do you mean?
Don't play the fool, I saw you when you held Sama in your arms
She couldn't walk, what do you expect me to do?
No, it's nothing like that
You're treating this girl in a different way
On the contrary, I'm treating her just as I was treating my previous assistant
But I never saw you treating Rana the same way, you never held her
Because Rana never had a sprained ankle when I was around
Let's get back to our game
You know what's the most special thing about this gathering?
- What? - That we're on our own
When you say it like that, one would think we're on a romantic date with candle lights
when in fact we're cracking sunflower seeds
You just gave the answer
This is what we're missing
A romantic ambiance with candle lights
Lyn, there's something I need to tell you
- I... - Sama!
Sama! Come over here what happened?
Come over
First of all I'm exhausted and I can't even talk
and secondly, grandma called me more than fifty times
so I need to go and I'll see you again tomorrow, hello , Abdo
Hello, Sama
Dear, your grandma has always suffered from high blood pressure because of you
A few more minutes won't make a difference
Well, you're right about that I might as well have some rest
So how was the photoshoot? Who was there?
I'm sure all the models were there and you took pictures with all of them
Now you need to download all those pictures one after the other
These models are all famous and their pictures will get you lots of followers
No, dear, I didn't have time for that
I was busy making the most famous model fall down in the water, face-first
- No - Guess who that model was
- Who was it? - Who was it?
- Stephany - Who's Stephany?
- It's Stephany - So, who's that?
- Forget it - Forget it
And what's worse is that when I tried to make things better I messed up even more
I thought I should help her get up after I made her fall down in the water
And that's when I fell right on top of her
- You're so clumsy, Sama - And these were the headlines
I'll give you the rest of the details tomorrow morning
Look, there's grandma she can't stop calling
She thinks I might have been kidnapped or something, I'm coming
Wait, she stopped telling the story at the peak of excitement
What happened after you sprained your ankle?
The prince we both know came and saved me
- What? - What? What happened?
It's nothing
I'm so tired
Here we go again What's wrong, grandma
You can't stop calling? Fine, I get it, I'm coming! I'm coming!
Bye, I'll be going now see you tomorrow
- Bye - Bye
Oh my God
You know how I feel right now?
I feel like I'm watching an exciting series and the show stopped
at the peak of an exciting scene
I wonder what's going to happen tomorrow
Why are you looking at me this way?
No, it's nothing who's that girl Stephany?
Eat the seeds
Did I hurt you?
What's this? Is it because of the trauma you had right now?
No, this is a birthmark
