"Episode Fourteen"
"I will cherish her in front of everybody"
- What are your plans for tonight? - Nothing, why?
I'd like to meet Yasmin I want to see her
- Really? Are you serious? - Dead serious!
- Where were you hiding before? - No, where were you hiding?
In the salon. around the neighborhood here and there
Why didn't you open that store a few years back and get it over with?
When I came to open the store you caused quite a commotion
You're right, fine, I'll finish work tomorrow and I'll give you a call
Don't embarrass me in the neighborhood in front of Abu Ali...
I'll be waiting for you don't be long
Prepare two kilos of beef shank to go
- "I will cherish you in front of..." - Zahra!
Zahra... there's a very important topic we need to discuss
- We have nothing to discuss! - Yes there is, Zahra!
There's something we need to talk about!
I know you don't want me in your life I don't care, that's not the issue now
But I can't just stand there when you're making a big mistake
I can't keep my mouth shut when I see you being deceived by someone
The man you're in love with...
He's a crook and he's not who you think he is
The man I'm in love with is a million times better than people
I took for decent and conscientious when in reality they were... fake
The man you're calling a crook loved me for who I am
he never judged me for a past that got out of my hand
and he accepted the fact that I have a daughter
while you failed to accept her presence and never loved her
The one you're calling a crook... is ten times better than you are
and if you have anything good or bad to say about him keep it to yourself
Or shut your mouth and do us a big favor!
Mind your own business!
- That's the last thing I need now - "No men allowed"
Shame on you, sonny! How come you never pass by to say hello?
Sit down, there's something I need to discuss with you
- What's up, Mr. Baheej? - Listen up, sonny
What's going on is unethical and I won't let it continue any longer!
Why? What's going on?
People saw you and Zahra leaving the neighborhood at night in your car
Darn it! Where's the problem with that?
How can you say there's no problem?
You're going out in front of the whole world without any shame!
You and me prayed Al-Fatiha together, right?
Here you go, you and I prayed Al-Fatiha
but all the others know nothing about this right until now
and you know how it is with people running their mouths in the neighborhood
So... I think maybe you two should get married
and this way we can silence all the loudmouths
There's something I noticed in your behavior, Mr. Baheej
You're interested in loudmouths more than you're interested in your kids' wellbeing
What do you mean?
I mean instead of worrying about me and Zahra
and focusing on when we go in and out of the neighborhood
why don't you try focusing on Fawwaz?
Your son-in-law who deprived your daughter of her kids
Did you try to make him pay? Did you lift a finger to stop him?
So Zahra's telling you all the smallest details
Since this is the case, did she tell you that I visited them the other day
and her beloved brother insulted me and kicked me out?
Did she tell you that several times and on more than one occasion
I expressed my will to stand by their side
but the truth of the matter is they don't want me anywhere near them
Did you ever ask yourself why they are rejecting you?
The answer is simple, Mr. Baheej! It's very simple
Think it through and you'll get the answer
I felt like he's submitting me to an IQ test
Look around you, you won't regret it
Darn it!
Hello
You? How dare you come here after what you did to me the other day?
And how dare you speak to us after everything you did?
It's the same equation
The thing is... I'm here to tell you that me and Rasha are eloping tonight
So I wanted you to hear the news directly from me
instead of hearing about it in the neighborhood
Where are you going?
How are you going to elope?
I'm just here to tell you this I'm not here for an advice or opinion
If you're not here for my advice or opinion...
why did you come to inform me?
Just so I can remember on my wedding day that I have a father
Excuse me
Yes, Afeef? So tell me... where did you take them?
So?
Do you know something now or not yet?
Nothing, I don't know
- Come again? - I don't know anything!
I don't know anything! I don't know anything!
No, no, no! No, no, no!
So, you either tell me what I need or I'll tell my men to kill your wife now
Fine
- Give her her last wish - No, I'll talk, I'll talk!
Your money is in a women's hair salon in the neighborhood
It's Salon Zahra but I beg you... leave my wife
Please let my wife go
Very nice, very nice
Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!
Tonight you'll break into the salon with the men and get my money from the chair
I want them back at any expense and whatever it takes, get it?
Don't worry about a thing, Boss consider it done
Hello, hello, what a pleasant surprise Mr. beautiful
So, do you have my money or not yet?
I don't have the money yet but I've got your men here
Which men?
You're beginning to worry me now, Zafer!
You have no clue that your men were at the amusement park?
They even played in the city of ghosts and disappeared right after that, gone
Do you have any idea who you're messing with, boy?
Of course I know
But before you ask me that question do you know who you're messing with?
Give me back Samir and I'll surrender your men
Samir? Which one's Samir?
I'll pretend you never asked this silly question
You deliver Samir tomorrow and you'll get back your men and the money too
If I see any of your men tracking me or any of the people I know
you can keep Samir and I'll keep your money
I have nothing more to say!
It's all clear tonight
Rasha won't be sleeping in the salon
You startled me at first that's great
but I can't do it tonight, I have a very important meeting with Zahra
When I'm back I'll break into the salon with you
Why are seeing Zahra?
I promised to discuss something with her
and I never knew we could get into the salon tonight
You just knew so call her and cancel your date
Anas, what's wrong? Call her and cancel the date!
I can't, it's not right
Why can't you do it? Call her and cancel the date!
I told you I can't do it! I need to see her to discuss an important matter
What's more important than getting Zafer's money back?
Maram, stop driving me crazy
We'll break into the salon together when I'm back here, stop arguing!
But when you'll get back we'll postpone until tomorrow and so on
What's wrong with you, Anas?
You forgot everything now and all you care about is Zahra?
"No Men Allowed"
Take this, sweety
What is this?
This is for Zeeko
Give this to him because I know he won't accept it from me
This is his wedding gift
I wish you the same, sweety
Thank you, dad
I wish I can see these towels folded if I don't do it myself
How are they going to get folded if you don't do it?
- Girl, you're getting married today? - Getting married? To whom?
Who do you think? Your brother
They're eloping without telling anyone, why is that?
Are you getting married to the neighbor's son or something?
- He's my brother after all! - You dodgy little thing!
I was wondering why she's been saying all morning she wants to get waxed and whatnot
- Oh really? - You're all hyped up then
I wish I could see your mom's face when she knows about this
Start speaking or I'll shove that pin your mouth, speak!
- Who told you this? - Who told me?
Is that all you care about?
How can you get married without me by your side at the wedding?
I wanna be there to be happy for you and dance in your party
Take this from your uncle Baheej it's a wedding gift for you and Zeeko
You're eloping without letting me take care of your hairdo, makeup, wax
epilation and manicure?
"Here come the bride, congratulate her throw the roses so she can walk over them"
"Her groom is a mechanic why won't you congratulate her"
"She's the bride who was pulled by the ear"
"She's the bride who's house tops the highest vines"
"She's the bride which we held on our hands"
I'm sure your mother will be much happier than this
Lena, why are you crying? Please don't cry, don't cry!
No one deserves your tears!
Don't stop singing, we have to sing for Rashroush and enjoy this celebration
"Sing out loud, girl and gather all around"
"I wish this beautiful night never ends so I can make everyone taste my sorrow"
Congratulations
Come here
It's okay, I'm sure God will send you a man worthy of you
and instead of one child you will have ten or more, trust me
Men are all the same, they're all worse than each other, you know the saying, right?
What can I say more? Just stop crying
What if I remove the sign outside so you can have more choices coming in here?
Laugh, I don't want to see you cry
- Do you know that I missed you? - Already? I don't believe you
Even I can't believe this
- What are you doing to me? - I don't know, you tell me
I'll tell you tonight when I see you
Are we still on for tonight?
- Yes and no - What do you mean?
I mean that you will see me but you won't be seeing Yasmina
- Why not? - My brother's getting married tonight
And of course we're staying late so she will surely be in bed
I don't want to keep her awake this long
- Congratulations then, I wish you the same - I wish you the same
Fine then, I'll finish up and give you a call, you're gonna be at the hotel, right?
No, I still have some unfinished business and I'm not going back to the hotel
What if we meet at the same place where we were today?
- Yes, why not? - Perfect, at what time do you finish?
I don't know yet, I'll give you a call when I'm done, okay?
- Perfect, I'll be waiting for your call - Okay, bye
- Hold on a second, wait - What's up?
- There's nothing you need to tell me? - Like what?
I don't know, be creative, you're generous and I deserve it
- Thank you - No, that's not what I had in mind
It's the other one
I'll tell you the other one when I see you face to face
Fine, see you, take care, bye
You too, bye
"You're in love girl, and things are finally changing"
All good?
It's all good and I even got a silencer
I'm a sharp shooter and I'll start disabling the cameras one after the other
I'm sure I can count on you that's perfect
Let's keep watching the place now and when it's clear we start working on our plan
But I'm worried, ma'am
If the boss knows about this I don't know what could happen
Stop it, Afeef! I promised you he will never know you helped
Fine then
Yes, Maram?
"Salon Zahra"
- You broke into the salon? - Boss, I...
I'll deal with you later, you piece of scum!
How dare you make such a move without telling me?
- I was just trying to... - I asked you a question!
How could you break into the salon without telling me?
Try to hear me out, I thought I'd be helping you out this way
You can't fool me with excuses like these Maram! Don't tell me you're trying to help!
Maram, I'll break both your hands if you do this ever again
I went into the salon and I found no money, the chair was torn out
Shut up, shut your mouth! Don't even say it!
- The money is there! It's inside! - I swear there's no money!
The chair was torn out
If there's even one dollar missing I will cut your eyes out!
What a piece of scum!
Samir? Samir? Samir?
Samir, are you okay? Samir, talk to me!
Where's my money?
The money which was inside that chair in the salon, where did you hide it?
Your money was never in the salon to begin with!
Yes, it was in the salon
the chair was torn out already because you came before my men and took the money
Where did you hide it?
- Samir? - Yes?
Samir?
Speak or I'll blow your head off!
Blow my head off! Go ahead!
You're famous for having no fear for your safety
Let me see now if you fear for the safety of your men
You're going to speak or do you wish to see him dead in front of you?
Let Samir go and I'll tell you where's the money
One...
- Two... - I don't know where it is
- Two and a half - I said I don't know
Three
Samir!
Tie him up
Samir, Samir, speak to me are you okay?
God is ever most patient but He never neglects
He is ever most patient but He never neglects
Hanadi, try to get back home and have some rest
You can't keep standing up for too long, you're pregnant
So close the butcher shop and let's get home together
No, I'm staying for a while you go ahead and I'll join you in a moment
- Come again? - You heard me, Hanadi
Get up there, have some rest and I'll be right after you
Why do you want to stay with...
Dear God, why do you insist on stressing me out all the time?
I said go and I'll be right after you!
If you're so worried about the child I'm carrying...
come with me and check up on him at home
Or I'm going to stay with you over here
Fine, I will close the shop and I'll be up there, satisfied?
- Hello, officer - Hello
Ma'am, we'd like to ask you a few questions
Can you please tell us what you saw?
Officer, I said everything I know in my statement to the other officer
On my way back to the hotel a while ago...
I saw men trying to break into the salon
I tried to shout and warn the others but they shut my mouth and pushed me away
and then they quickly fled in their cars
I didn't have the time to see their faces or the car registration number
Officer, I really have nothing to do with all these, I swear!
Fine, thank you
You wrote everything down in the report?
Yes, sir
It's not a robbery
This is an act of vandalism and there's something else going on here
I'd like you to come to the police station for more questioning, please
- Of course, officer - Let's go, guys
You always insist on defying me and here you go again by marrying this broke idiot!
Mom, the man you're talking about is now my husband
and this not the place nor the time to talk about this at all!
I disagree, this is the best time to talk about this!
Get out of here! I said get out! I have nothing to lose!
- She's gone mad! - You're the crazy one! Get out!
What a lowlife family! Enjoy your new sister-in-law
You have no manners!
Calm down, dear, calm down
Leave me alone!
What is it? Why are you staring like this? The charade's over, you may leave
Go back to your places!
What's wrong, dear? What happened at the salon?
Don't worry, sweetheart! I will fix the salon and you'll have it back better than ever
Don't worry about that
Zahra...
Maram, I can't talk to anyone right now
It's not up to you you're gonna have to talk
Where's the money?
What money?
Don't play the fool now! Where's the money?
What are you talking about? What money?
I'm talking about Anas' money which was hidden in a chair at your salon
Don't try to play tricks on me and pretend you don't get what I'm saying!
Where's the money? Give it back!
Where did you hide it?
What a damn day this is proving to be!
What chair are you talking about and what's Anas' money got to do with this?
Look at me in the eye!
Do you really think Anas is in love with you?
You'd be so wrong if you think so, honey
Wake up! Anas is in love with me
And if he ever tried to get close to you it was all for the money
So give me the money back, Zahra and quit acting like a fool
Listen, I don't know what you're talking about
and I care less about you, Anas and the money, get away from me
I have enough trouble for today!
Listen to me... I have two words for you
You know what? Consider it an advice
The man whom Anas owes money for is a Mafioso
You have any idea what that means?
This guy kills people for fun
So if you're not worried about Anas you should be worried for your safety
and the safety of your family and those whom you love
because all these people are in danger
This is not a joke, at all
Think this through
- Lena, did you take the medication? - Yes
- Are you in pain? - A little bit
Go back home and have some rest then, go
Zeeko, give us a minute please
- Why? I need to... - I need to speak to the girls!
What's wrong, Zahra?
There's something I need to tell you
- Hey, what are you trying to do, señor? - I'm making coffee, what do you think?
Do you want me to do the same?
- Hold steady, Samir - Alright
You suspect I did this, Zahra? You think I took the money?
It's you who burned the chair, right?
and you slept here alone after that
You're the one who suggested I sleep here, I didn't ask you to
And if it's me who burned the chair it's your sister who sutured it!
She could be the one who took the money! Why don't you suspect her?
- You think I took the money? - It's not me either!
I just started working here a few days back!
Oh really? And only a few days back you started looking chic and nice
You're always spruced up and buying new clothes
even though you didn't get your first paycheck yet!
Your personality changed as well and you're all confident now
as if you have someone to rely on! In other words you're no longer an idiot
How dare you say that?
Rasha, calm down do you realize what you're saying right now?
Didn't you hear what she just said?
Why is she accusing me of this? Why doesn't she accuse her sister?
Why can't she accuse you? Who has the salon keys other than you?
Who comes here in the early morning when Mrs. Zahra's away who knows where
pretending she's buying stuff for the salon and comes back empty-handed?
Do you really think they don't talk behind your back?
Whenever you leave the salon she starts gossiping with Lena
and they start wondering who you're going with
We gossip out of love not out of spite and hatred like you're doing now you dumb
Of course it's out of love
Why don't you suspect Lena?
She always has lots of money
She provides for herself, her parents and her boyfriends
who doesn't even care about her or about the child she's bearing
- Shut up! - Calm down, Lena!
- Lena! - Lena!
Calm down, Lena!
Sit down
It's okay, calm down
Calm down
You bought new clothes?
I asked you a question and I need an answer
- You're suspecting me, Zahra? - Answer the question, nothing more
- Yes, I bought 2 or 3 dresses - How? Where did you get the money?
I didn't give you your paycheck yet
What a shame! That's a real shame coming out of you
I had saved some money from the household expenses and Lena lent me some
Oh that's nice, Lena lent you money
How can you afford all these expenses? Your parents and boyfriend
and now you're lending money to your friends, remarkable!
You know, that's a real shame coming out of you
How dare you suspect me when you of all people know!
how much I'm working night and day to make more money?
I really can't believe how you can find the audacity to suspect us!
Go back home, Mayssam we'll continue this later
That's a real shame indeed!
- I'll go get you a cup of coffee - I'm not in the mood
I want the salon keys back
Give me the keys and go back home
- You're suspecting me too? - Why not?
Why not, I suspect each one of you! I even suspect the walls and my own shadow!
Who could have taken the money? Is it Abdallah's chicken?
Stop telling me "how can you suspect me?" and "how dare you!"
You could be playing this charade to cover up what you did
This is your salon and you're always here day and night!
Who has an interest in taking the money other than you?
You've always wanted to buy the store next door to expand your business, right?
Anyway...
Here you
This is the key you entrusted me with
Damn you all!
How can I steal money from my own salon and sabotage the place?
- What are you doing here? - I need to talk to you
There's nothing to talk about and I don't wish to see your face!
- Listen - Fadi, please
Just listen to me, I need to say something
Fadi, please
Let me say something and you can close the door after that
Lena... I sold the car
I promise I will do whatever it takes to get a job
Will you marry me?
Now?
Now!?
The child that you didn't want... is gone
Get out! Get out!
Get out!
