"Episode Five"
I got you these cameras from the market
- and you may say they're used - Fine
and the wireless camera you asked for... consider it a gift
Perfect, so... how much do I owe you?
- 150 dollars? - What? 150 dollars?
- Let's say 1.5 million L.P then - How nice
1.5 million liras for used cameras? What if they were new?
I'm paying one million and not a pound more
I'm paying 200 thousand now and the rest as installments
But ma'am, that's nothing but peanuts I'll be losing money this way
Listen, I'll pay another 100 thousand as your wage
Are you married?
It's all settled then, send the ma'am and we'll take real good care of her
She will get back home as a new person
she can benefit from our services free of charge for a period of one month
You're welcome, she may start coming any time she likes
- Agreed? - Fine
Perfect, let's start the installation then
Hello?
Yes, honey?
No, I'm seeing you for sure today
I don't know if I can also spend the night I will try though
Me too
Fine
Is there anything you need me to bring along?
I'll get a pizza then
Agreed?
Okay, I'll see you at night God willing
Okay, baby, fine sweetheart goodbye
Fufi, honey, do you need anything?
What is this smell, Fadi?
There would be no smell if I cooked it with oil, baby
- Using butter in the morning? - What can I do?
I only found butter and a single egg
Can you imagine a grown man having a single egg for breakfast
Baby, drop by the supermarket and buy whatever you wish
I don't have any time to go to the supermarket these days
You're not missing out on any chance to make me feel bad
Why? What did I say?
You know I'm broke and if I had any money I would have filled the fridge
Take this and fill it up as you like
I don't want to, forget it I'm leaving anyway
Fadi, I didn't mean it like that stop acting like we're strangers
Take this and stop irritating me I'm not in the mood for quarrels in vain
I love you, babe
Listen, make sure no one sees you on your way out, okay?
- Fine, honey, don't worry - Bye
Bye
Mr. Mahmoud, this camera needs to cover the other area
- Morning - Hello. dear, good morning
What's going on? Why are you installing cameras here?
It's nothing, they're just for security reasons, that's it
Nothing you say? How nice
- Listen... - Yes
Did you talk to Sahar
Not yet, I'm still waiting for that scum to leave the house to check up on her
Start your preparations and cancel any waxing appointments
I don't want anyone going to the inner room
Why?
No reason, I'll tell you later
Okay
Sir, you need to lower this one down a bit too, okay? It's a bit high
Good morning
Welcome
I hope your niece is better
- I see you're installing cameras then? - No, these are rockets
You're right, I'd install rocket launchers if I were you
I wanted to point it out to you after what happened but I didn't want to interfere
That's right, you shouldn't interfere
- How much time do you still need, sir? - I'll be done in a jiffy
Great, thank you
By the way, yesterday noon you asked me to talk to you about the store
I'm busy right now I have no time for this
Understandable, I can see how busy you are
With regard to our issue it's all settled, you may relax
What issue? What are you talking about?
Your father and I had to pray the Fatiha
What did you do? Have you gone mad?
We prayed the Fatiha for good luck
People are running their mouths about us
Hold your horses, you're starting to believe the lie we made together
- Have you gone mad? - It's not me, people are believing this
- I care less about this - Your father acted very wisely
people are running their mouths about us all the time
You gave me no other choice you literally suffocated me
Someone is threatening of throwing me out if I don't keep my promise
- So, I decided to keep my promise - You decided what again?
- My promise - What does that mean?
This means that now you're my legally wedded wife
Really? That's so great, perfect and you planned for the wedding too?
Not yet, we still have to plan for it together
By the way, when are we going to wear the wedding rings?
Stop staring at me like this you will enchant me with your beauty
Let's wear the rings right now since the cameras are recording
The butcher could butcher a lamb and we'll have some chicken ready
I'm sure you lost your mind that's for sure
That's all I hope for
- Good day, sir - Hello, thank you
Looks like the cameras are a bit too much, no?
It's what the salon owner wants
Did you install cameras inside too or just over here
Why all the questions?
No, it's nothing, I'm her neighbor
I want to make sure that the cameras are covering the whole road
this way I won't have to install cameras on my own too
Don't worry, these cameras are covering the whole road
- Good job, my friend - Thank you
Plucked chicken
It's the señor
- Yes, señor? - Samir, why is the store still closed?
- Which store? - The neighborhood store, next to the salon
You ordered me to take back the equipment to the workshop
When did I say so?
You asked the Countess over the phone to tell me that I should bring back the equipment
"Lulu's Gifts and Toys"
Damn you for this
You will never learn, you shmuck
May you rot in hell, Samir son of Afifeh
May your heart ache and your head blow
You only take your instructions directly from me
You will always be my dear señor I'm at your service
But he's the one who told the countess to inform me that...
You women are driving us crazy
Did you miss me as much as I missed you?
- What's up with all the cameras? - Please, don't even mention this
What's going on?
I don't know what Zahra's thinking about she's at the tattoo room
and she asked me to cancel all my appointments for today
Ebtissam? What's going on? What is she planning for?
Don't interfere, go to your work
Zahra? Where's Zahra?
Who told you that you can barge into the salon like this?
Stop asking questions and tell me where's Zahra
I think you know that men are not allowed in this salon
It's fine, don't worry about him
Youssef is not considered a man
Welcome, Mr. Hanadi, we're honored to have you here
Rasha, Lena, meet me at the tattoo room
This is the way you're starting to talk to me, Zahra?
I'm not considered a man?
If you were a man you wouldn't have waited until today to defend your wife
I wouldn't have waited for a minute if I were you
Listen here, stop provoking me and leave my wife alone
You're telling me to leave your wife alone?
Your wife never crosses my mind she's meaningless to me
- You may give this advice to your wife - You started it yesterday, Zahra
How could you cut a long curl from her hair?
She's so lucky I didn't cut her tongue
- Morning - Right on time, come in, dear
Youssef is about to leave
What's up? You got me all worried why have you sent for me?
- I need a favor - Here we go
Wait for me inside
Come buy your plucked chicken
Hello, neighbor, I was told you have the best meat around the country
- May I have a sandwich, please? - I have no sandwiches for you
There are plenty of other butcher shops try to find somewhere else
God forbid, I could never go somewhere else, you're my next door neighbor
- I'm only buying from your shop - I don't have any meat for you
You can't make me sell you sandwiches
Fine, fine, maybe you don't have any meat for now
I was dying for a meat sandwich with some tahini, tomatoes
some onions and citrus... I was a kid when...
Damn this day
You're here to tell me your life story or something?
I have no meat for you and now leave me alone
Calm down, neighbor
No problem, I'm your neighbor the upholsterer
If you need to upholster anything I will be at your service
Love thy neighbor as the saying goes. peace
What a shmuck
Shareef
So? What do you say?
Dear, this is not a favor this could ruin my life
Do you have any idea what could happen to me if they catch me?
No one will catch you
You only have to put it there and leave the rest to me
Why are you so worried? It's only a matter of five minutes
But Zahra...
Hala, I told you the whole story as it is, please help me out
I have no one else to turn to
The whole salon will be at your service ask and you shall receive
Manicure, pedicure, ask for anything you want
What if someone saw me or caught me?
No one will see you they won't have time for that
It's only a matter of five minutes you'll put the thing over there and leave
Stop worrying so much I will take responsibility for everything
I'm all tense now
- We have a deal - I will see
Tell me we have a deal
We have a deal?
We have a deal
Damn you for these nails what is this?
How do you get into my salon with nails like these?
You have no shame, woman? And you call yourself a woman?
I will give you the best nail care routine, my dearest friend
I love you my friend
- I will catch you - No, you can't catch me
Yes, I will
I will catch you
Girls... stop the screaming
Go back to your rooms
Mayssam, come take your kids away from here, I can't hear anything
I will catch you
Kids, go to the kitchen you'll have your breakfast there
A man can't drink his coffee in peace here
Bon Appetit
To the kitchen, I said
Sahoura?
Baby, are you ill or something?
Sahar, is something wrong, sweetie?
Sahoura, dear what's wrong?
What's wrong, sweetheart?
Look at me, what's wrong?
What's the problem?
Did something happen yesterday?
Yes? Did something happen yesterday?
Sweetheart, look at me, baby look at me
Did something happen yesterday?
What's wrong, baby? Calm down, baby, calm down
Calm down, honey, it's okay
Calm down, don't worry, sweetheart
Easy, sweetheart, calm down
Don't worry, don't worry, pumpkin
And the cameras are on
I sent you the password
When you wish to switch from one camera to the other you have to press Alt and Shift
You can use the backspace button to zoom out and with the plus button you can zoom in
Try them out, each button takes you to a different camera
Try them out, it's very easy press on these two buttons
I'm not into technology we don't understand each other
What should I do to switch from one camera to the other?
You can switch with the Shift Alt buttons
So I have to remember the words "saw " and "said"
- If you want to - Shift, Alt, right
Fine
So it's these two buttons just like this
- Correct - And how can I zoom in
You will have to zoom in with the Plus button
- Where's the plus button? - This one over here
- This one - Correct
- Perfect, I'm starting to like this - It's very easy
But there's something else you said
The Backspace button will take you back to the main screen
Fine, whatever, I got it
- The F1 button is the first camera - Fine
- The F2 is for the opposite one - Okay
The F3 button is for the third camera and the F4 is for the last one
If you need any help just give me a call
Fine, fine, thank you so much I will try not to need any of your help
but I doubt it, I think I will always need you some day
I'm ready to help you out
- Bye - Thank you for the good job
I thought it's a matter of one button what's all this?
I should have written down what he just said
She saw and said I got this into my head, she saw and said
Fine, and this one...
This button is to zoom in
Yes, like this
Come on, Hala, hurry up
Gosh
- Hello, Son-in-law - Hello, Father-in-law Baheej
You look so handsome in yellow
This is the yellowest yellow I've ever seen in my life
It looks great on you
That's it
Son, we didn't have time yet to talk a little bit
- There are details we need to discuss - I'm ready, sir, what details?
The paid dowry and the deferred dowry
You have to tell me about your accounts and debts
I need to get to know you better as a son-in-law
You're right, you're absolutely right
I promise to meet and discuss the details in the coming few days
Just give me a few days to open the store
- How about now? - That's good
It's good, keep it there
Perfect
Move it a notch to the left
I said the left
This is the left side you meant my left or yours?
My left or yours? You're making it way too hard on me now
Move it to the right, to your right
Yes, your right
Perfect
Move it up a bit
- Just a bit - Does it look good now?
Perfect, leave it as it is It's perfect this way
Remind me to kill you when I see you
Goodbye, goodbye
- Good day - Hello, hello
Sorry, I was tidying up the room I didn't know you were coming back now
Don't worry at all, thank you for everything
Can you just give me 5 minutes and continue your work after that?
Of course, sure I'm done by the way
Be careful, girl
- Here you go - Thank you
Let me help you out
Damn you, Hala
You stressed me out, Hala
Goodbye, have a good day
Thank you so much, sir
- Where are you now, Maramo - I think I'm here
I can't see you yet where are you?
I just saw you what a beauty
Where are you? I can't see you yet
Look straight and a bit to the left you will see a guy in a purple shirt
- That's me - Where? Just saw you, coming
No, what are you trying to do? Don't get anywhere near me
Go straight and at your left you will see a Hotel
Make a reservation for a room there and do just as I told you to
What do you mean? I won't be seeing you?
Of course we'll see each other but not in public
I have some unfinished business and I'll see you afterward
Bye
Hello, guys
The Boss Zafer says hello
This is a reminder of the 24 hours deadline
There's no need for all this tell your boss, I do remember the deadline
He has no need to worry
Perfect and we can always remember to treat you right
if we don't get the money on time
- Ziyad - Yes, Boss?
Close the workshop and don't open it again waiting further instructions from me
- Why? Is something wrong, Boss? - No, it's just what I want
Okay, Boss
Stop it with the incense, Randa I'm almost suffocating
Don't worry, dear, I'm sure it's better than dying from the evil eye
Asma, sit down straight and stop looking at your phone, I could burn you this way
Lena, why do you keep cutting my fingernails?
Salam, each one of your fingernails has a different length
I'm trying to make them all look the same
Please, don't make them any shorter
Why is Zahra so late?
I have an appointment in an hour I need a haircut and I have to leave after that
Calm down, I'll see where she is
- Good morning - Hello, good morning to you
- Can I please dye the roots? - Come again?
- I need to dye the roots of my hair - Of course, ma'am, you're welcome
Thank you
Hurry up, Rasha I have plenty of unfinished work today
Zahra, what's keeping you?
The woman has been waiting for an hour to get a haircut
and there's a new client who wants to dye her hair
Hurry up, please, are you going to spend all your time in front of the cameras?
Who's this girl who just got in?
No clue, it's the first time that I see her in the salon
Prince Anas is still out of his room who knows where he could be now?
He sent all his stuff to the store
Sure, he's happy now
What? Isn't that what you wanted from the beginning?
Didn't you say that you'll turn a blind eye on the store for now
until you're sure about Sahar's problem?
That's right, I said so but that doesn't mean I'm not stressing out because of the store
I know, dear but please hurry up, Zahra
What's this guy doing now? I will kick his ass, move away
What's he doing? He closed the curtains that's it
Watch your head my friend
This curtain will always be closed... close it
- Let's play, paper rock scissors - Close it, I said
This curtain blocks the sunlight that's shining over my salon
- Countess, I really can't do that... - Samir...
What's up neighbor? What's the problem?
This curtain has to stay closed and you may never open it
What about the fabrics in my store?
Can you imagine how much the sunlight could damage the fabrics?
And my salon will rotten if you close this curtain
What's my curtain has to do with your salon?
Listen, I didn't object when you took the store
but I won't let my salon rotten because of you, that's too much
Neighbor, who told you that the sun comes up from inside my store?
The sun comes up from everywhere around this neighborhood
What's that got to do with you? This is the way I see things
Samir, remove the whole darn curtain I don't want to see it anymore
You're driving me crazy in this neighborhood
- Paper, rock, scissors? - I said close the curtain
- Countess - Samir
- What do you want? - You're the sun incarnate
So watch it or you'll get burned
I wish she could burn me, señor
Roll it up, Samir, take it up, Samir
Unload the merchandise, Samir load the merchandise, Samir
- Hush, Samir, hush, Samir - Knock it off already
Samir, get me two bottles of coke
Watch out, señor what's wrong?
Why didn't you tell me about this one?
- I didn't find the time for that - Get me some tea
You're covering me with incense on the way in and out, Randa?
Yes, of course I'm covering you with incense
- Zahra? - What is it? You're scaring me
You look so beautiful
Why don't you consider applying for beauty pageants?
You scared me to death, Randa I thought you saw a fairy or something
Where have you been, Zahra? My hair is growing longer while waiting
We're cutting it all the same hold your horses, I'm coming
Did you decide on the color, Salam?
Lena, you ask me the same question every week, I don't know
Last week, they were white
What do you think I should go for this week?
Red, red suits everything look how lovely it looks
Red? I'm wearing a red dress and you want to give me red fingernails?
They can never look good together
Why not, Salam? I'm wearing a pink outfit with mustard on my nails
it's the latest trend
So?
- I'll stick to white, that's better - So, it's white
- Yes, white - White
- Hello? - Maram, where are you now?
At the salon
Keep an eye on everything without making anyone notice
Don't worry, it's all under control
Fine, I have some work to finish and when I'm done I'll see you at the motel
- Okay, bye - Goodbye
Take it away from me
Darn it, man, too much added sugar you're trying to make me sick
Is the corncobs ready?
- Watch it - I think it's stabilized now
I said watch it
Damn you, Samir son of Afifeh may God punish you for this
Your tea sucks, man
I swear it sucks
It's too cold, Rasha, watch it
- I have a brain freeze - You're confusing me, Tawfika
When it's warm, you tell me it's too warm and when I cool it up you get cold
Try to keep it lukewarm, please
and I think you washed my head for way too long, my hair is electrocuted
I hope you really get electrocuted to be done with you soon
Amen to that
- Ebtissam, to the circuit breaker, please - On my way
Damn this, they're killing us with this power outage every half an hour
What happened now?
Zahra, for God's sake we have so much work to do
the salon is filled with clients and I already prepared Asma, hurry
Thank you so much, Lena they look great as always
At your service, dear
Zahra will be here in a few seconds, ma'am
Don't worry
Rasha, go get the lady something to drink
- What would you like to drink, ma'am? - Hibiscus Tea
- Sorry, black coffee - Welcome
Make it two, one black and the other with some sugar
You're both welcome
We haven't seen you today, Zahra what's going on?
Tawfika, I didn't know you're here
You liked the new chairs? They're amazing, right?
The washing chair is great but this one...
It's very uncomfortable a bit too firm
The sponge in this one is supposed to be harder
It will go softer with time sit straight so I can straighten the towel
Welcome, welcome, sit over there it's much more comfortable
- Thank you - Did they offer you something to drink?
- Yes, I asked for coffee - Perfect
I will start with my client and I'll be back to you immediately after that
- Take your time - Welcome
So, Abla, what did you chose for a haircut this time?
I want a bob cut and I want the mane part short, part long
Just like this haircut
You're killing me now
No, no Abla, I won't let you do this this is not a bob cut
this is a pressure cooker with 2 handles
Don't worry about it I want it this way
- It's the trendiest cut by the way - This won't look good on you, Abla
Your hair is thick and fluffy and we're in the middle of summer
You'll need to brush it every day it will be irritating
Don't worry about all that just cut it the way I want and I'll take care of the brushing
I won't do it, you're my client and I won't let you go out looking hideous
If I cut it this way you'll get mad at me and start blaming me
I beg you, Abla
Your hair looks amazing and it looks great on you
Look, it's so beautiful I'll cut a bit on the edges
Listen... I know how stubborn you are
Take your time, think this through then tell me what you want to do, fine?
What color do you prefer? You wish to dye all your hair or just a highlight
- No, only the roots - It's only the roots then
So I waited for a whole hour in vain now?
Give her the haircut she asked for you'll make some money
Thank you
I beg you, Tawfika let me do my work the way I see fit
It's not all about the money
So now it's not all about the money?
Frankly, I agree with Zahra life is not all about money
I can't imagine you'd look good in a bob cut
What's that got to do with you?
Who asked for your opinion to begin with?
Anyone else around here would like to give his opinion in my hair?
Bye
I wasted an hour for nothing in this shitty salon
Excuse me, ladies she's a bit moody
I'm sorry, did I say anything wrong?
On the contrary, you said nothing wrong
Sit over here, please
I just wanted to give my opinion
Don't worry, it's not a problem
What she showed me is not a bob cut it's two buoys on top of the ears
- What's your name? - Maram
- Welcome - And I'm Tawfika
You're new to the neighborhood, right?
Yes, I just arrived today, I'm staying at the neighborhood hotel
The Hotel owned by Zahra's father?
Baheej is your father?
Seems like it
So, we're dying the roots and I'm rinsing it to get the same color
Okay, thank you
For God's sake, Asma stop moving or you're going to get burned
Talking to Abdo over the phone all this time?
No, I'm way done with Abdo I'm looking for a new guy
- What is this? - It's a dating app
You naughty girl, this is how girls and boys are meeting these days?
Yes, of course, look you have all the types of men over here
Young, old, broad shoulders you may chose the one you like
What do you think you're doing? Choosing a Tupperware?
I need a few Tupperware containers myself
I lost all the covers of the Tupperware containers I have
The kind of Tupperwares that can sweep you off your feet
You naughty little scoundrel
