I'm serious, you are pregnant with five, here.

I'm serious, you are pregnant with five, here.

Five? How, doctor? What did you do, Shorouq? What did you take or play with?

I swear to God, I didn’t do anything, doctor. Don’t joke, I beg you.

Guys, what’s the joke here? The ultrasound is right in front of you, here. I can see five hearts.

Maybe one baby has five hearts?

One baby with five hearts? Like an octopus?

These are five babies.

Doctor, there must be something wrong. Try turning the ultrasound off and on again.

Doctor, there must be something wrong. Try turning the ultrasound off and on again.

Please check again, how can it be five, doctor?

Is it even possible for someone to be pregnant with that number?

Yes, of course, very normal. This is a case of multiple twins.

It has happened before, with even more numbers than this.

This is a blessing; you should be happy.

We should be happy. We wanted just one...

Wasn’t she the only one wanting to be happy for this?

But what is all this you're showing me on the screen?

Son, I’m just telling you what I see.

Son, I’m just telling you what I see.

So this pregnancy can’t be anything else?

Seek forgiveness from God, son. What you’re saying is wrong and forbidden.

Please, doctor, excuse me, just give her something to end all this, insert the IUD and close it here.

No, of course not, that’s a crime.

Doctor, I’m her husband, and I’m ready to sign a consent form, me and her agreeing.

And I’ll give you whatever you want.

Are you crazy? What are you thinking?

What you’re saying, Mohamed, these are our children.

You be quiet.

Please, sir, take your wife and leave.

Please, sir, take your wife and leave.

This is a respectable clinic.

A respectable clinic. God is my sufficiency and the best disposer of affairs against you.

Did I do something to you, son?

Come on, Mohamed.

You’re a traitor.

Come on, Mohamed, now.

God is my sufficiency and the best disposer of affairs against you.

I’m really sorry.

We’re sorry, doctor, really.

God is my sufficiency and the best disposer of affairs against you all.

I can’t comprehend anything of what was said just now.

Is this for real or a joke?

Or is this a prank?

Or is this a prank?

One of those pranks that YouTube couples do.

You’ve seen the things foreigners do, so you wanted to imitate that.

To prove to you that I love you.

Tell me now and I’ll just laugh it off.

I’m sorry, I don’t understand anything at all.

Then who understands, Shorouq? Who understands?

What is this, Mohamed? I feel something is wrong.

I don’t know, maybe the ultrasound is wrong, the doctor is wrong.

Let’s see someone else.

Let’s go to another doctor.

Right, right, that’s the right thing to do.

I really feel like this doctor is either drinking or using something.

He’s telling me five, five what?

Impossible.

Not right. Let’s go to another doctor.

Not right. Let’s go to another doctor.

God willing, good things will come.

God willing, look at the ultrasound, I see it.

His screen is bigger and clearer, how?

His device is all the latest tech.

God willing, it will be just one baby.

God willing, Mohamed.

Did you see that move?

The second doctor didn’t do that move.

God willing, it will be just one baby.

I’ll tell you something, God willing it will be a false pregnancy.

Not necessarily, Mohamed.

Let me dream.

Let me dream.

So God bless us.

Since

you were taking fertility stimulants.

No, I swear to God I didn’t.

I didn’t take anything, I swear to God I didn’t take anything.

Really?

Yes, really.

Glory be to God.

There is no god but God.

What’s wrong, doctor?

Congratulations, you are pregnant with five.

What did you say to me, sir? What?

The lady is pregnant with five.

Again?

What is this?

She was pregnant with five before?

No, we just came from another ultrasound and were shocked by the number.

Exactly, doctor, we know someone who is

Exactly, doctor, we know someone who is

pregnant with twins.

Once, a woman in our village was pregnant with triplets.

That was an event for us.

Even when she died, they held a memorial for her.

Five?

Yes, five?

What does five mean?

It's normal, Mr. Mohamed, it happens.

Like two years ago, a woman in Sharqia

was pregnant with five.

In one belly.

Where in Sharqia?

I have no idea, but by the way, it happens everywhere in the world.

Not often, once every few million, but it happens.

Not often, once every few million, but it happens.

You can do a search on it.

Huh?

Have you seen Omar El Leithy's episode?

He once brought a woman

pregnant with nine in one belly.

Nine, not five.

Watch the episode.

An episode? What do we have to do with Omar El Leithy?

We don't care, Omar El Leithy will support our kids when I have them.

I don't know why you're so nervous.

Because you told me five.

It's a big deal for us, doctor, we're really shocked.

Maybe agree that you're shocked.

Doctor, sorry, sorry, doctor.

Doctor, sorry, sorry, doctor.

Can we terminate this pregnancy?

No.

Why?

We're traveling anyway, so we won't have time.

No, no, no, sorry, if there was a risk to the mother's health,

but in this case, there's no risk to the mother.

What about the father?

No, the mother.

Is the father at risk?

Thank God, the lady is young and healthy.

We have no chronic diseases.

Besides, she's in the second month and the uterus is perfect.

Oh.

And the fetuses?

All five are fine.

All five are fine.

What fetuses? What are you pregnant with, Shorouk?

Plural of fetus, Mohamed.

Plural of fetus?

I don't want you to worry at all.

Rest assured.

God willing, this pregnancy will continue without any problems.

Be happy.

Rest assured.

Are you happy? Are you happy for us?

.

.

Mohamed, it's 7:30.

You'll be late for work.

Okay.

Five! Are you really going to flip out, Hindi, honestly?

Five! Are you really going to flip out, Hindi, honestly?

I went to see two doctors.

Both confirmed the same story.

Oh my God, you're blue.

Why, son? Are you Mazinger?

What is this?

Doctors say it's a rare case.

And it happened to many people.

And it happened to many people.

What do you mean rare case and happened to many people?

I'm like you, I don't understand either.

I can't take it in.

What will you do then?

I don't know, I've been thinking all night since yesterday.

Turning it over and over, can't find a solution.

How will I support them?

Looks like I need another job, that's all.

Another job? What other job, son?

You want five jobs?

I'm right here in front of you.

Working with you at the branch, got a car on installments.

Working with you at the branch, got a car on installments.

I hurt my back working for Uber.

And I work as a swimming coach at a small club.

Not to mention my wife is also working.

We can't cover the expenses of three kids.

I don't want to be like you, Shawky.

I might die if I become like you.

Man, cheer up.

You're struggling.

You know how to be like me.

At least the three kids are spaced out in time.

We barely caught our breath.

But your disaster is having six at once.

Oh my God, five.

Every step you take, multiply by five.

And you should do that just once.

And you should do that just once.

For everything.

And they enter schools all at once

And make five lunch boxes

And bring them five sets of clothes

Enough, Shawky, enough

Fives, fives as long as you live

What, son? What do you want from me?

Actually, as soon as I found out about the pregnancy, I thought about terminating it

But the doctors, may God punish them, did not agree

Then Shorouq and I asked online in forums and stuff

They said it’s forbidden

No, no, no, not at all

In your case, I don’t think it’s forbidden at all

That talk is for example if a woman is pregnant by a man and wants to abort

That talk is for example if a woman is pregnant by a man and wants to abort

But your wife is pregnant with a handball team, Mohamed

This is an exceptional terrifying case, son

Forget about them

No internet, no nonsense, ask properly

Honestly, you’re right

Of course

Surely in my case it’s allowed

I tell you what, as soon as we finish the shift

You and I will go to a sheikh and ask him, and he will give us a fatwa

Man, I’m with you in everything

So I tell you, give birth to half, abort five, Mohamed

Enough, Shawky

Enough

I was hoping it would be one child

But they said

It’s for the sake of lightening the burden

So God gave me five

He’s the one who gave them to me

Shorouq

Did you finish the outdoor design?

Honestly, I’m exhausted

Oh lady

My dear

A woman gives birth to five multiples

What are these cringe videos?

Honey, what nonsense are you watching?

That’s not nonsense

You don’t know how much this woman suffered during this pregnancy and the hardship she went through

Because you never thought beyond yourself

You’ve always been superficial and selfish

Try to feel for other people

What’s wrong, Shorouq?

What’s wrong, Shorouq?

Is

This woman someone you know

Or close to you or something?

I got a bit emotional, sorry

Sorry, I

My hormones are a bit messed up

Okay, dear, no problem

But are you okay?

I mean, should I make you something to drink to calm you down?

No, no, thanks

Just leave me alone

Just leave me alone

.

.

.

.

I seek forgiveness from God Almighty

What are you saying? Of course it’s forbidden

But these are five, Sheikh, not one or two

This means the forbidden act is greater

You are ending five lives, not one

Okay, please Sheikh, take it easy

Religion is ease, after all

Go ahead

So can we abort three and keep two?

Good, this solution, Sheikh, may God open your heart, Shawky

Wait, wait, what are you saying? Is this even medically possible?

Wait, wait, what are you saying? Is this even medically possible?

We will ask about this, but if it’s possible, is it halal?

It’s still forbidden; what applies to one fetus applies to the rest

There is no abortion except if there is a danger to the woman’s life

Okay, what should I do, Sheikh? I really can’t afford them

There is no god but God

Look, sir, God says in His holy book, In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

“And do not kill your children for fear of poverty. We provide for them and for you.”

“Indeed, their killing is a great sin.”

“Indeed, their killing is a great sin.”

God Almighty has spoken the truth

I think the words are clear and the verse explains itself

Reconsider yourself, sir, and ask God for forgiveness for what you said

And may God, Glory be to Him, manage your affairs

God’s mercy is vast

Okay, even if... no, it’s not allowed

Halal or haram?

No, no, it’s forbidden, of course, not allowed

I seek forgiveness from God, no, no

It’s forbidden, son, of course it’s not allowed

Peace be upon you

A question, Sheikh, my wife's pregnant and wants to

Son, weren't you here this morning?

This morning?

This morning?

Yeah, I said maybe you asked one of the scholars or something.

Son, it's forbidden, I told you it's forbidden.

Okay.

Alright, let's go.

I seek forgiveness from God Almighty, Lord.

No, my dear, no brother, no, it's forbidden.

So, Sheikh, it’s not allowed, for example?

No, it's not allowed.

Brother, the man lost his senses.

And then?

Look, Mohamed, so you don’t tire yourself,

you have two solutions in front of you.

Either the pregnancy is terminated and you get rid of its sin,

or you keep the pregnancy and bear the sin of five children who will be homeless,

or they will die of hunger.

At worst, they will turn out to be thieves and murderers.

But, but, Shawky, I beg you, please.

Well, I’m telling you the truth, just choose a sin to carry.

Okay, what do you think, Shawky?

Dad, I want the cartoon.

Honestly, may God help you.

The choice is hard.

Dad, I want the cartoon.

The choice is hard.

You’re in a dilemma.

And again, Shawky, suppose I chose to bear the sin of terminating the pregnancy.

Good.

How would I terminate it anyway? All the doctors refused.

And don’t tell me some people do that because I would never take my wife to such shady places.

And don’t tell me some people do that because I would never take my wife to such shady places.

Son, what shady places?

You’re still early in the pregnancy.

This is a silly matter that ends with two pills.

Two pills? What are those?

Two pills for abortion.

Is there such a thing?

Dad, I want the cartoon.

...Wait, son.

Go play by the oven, Abdel Alim.

Haven’t you heard about this?

No, I haven’t heard. What are these two pills?

Son, two pills that the woman takes.

A few hours later, the pregnancy is immediately terminated.

Without any surgery or risk?

Without any surgery or risk?

No cannulas or anything.

It’s a simple matter.

If you’re going to do it, do it quickly.

Because after that, it becomes difficult.

Stop.

I seek forgiveness from God Almighty.

No, Shawky, no, no.

I can’t bear a sin like that.

And Shorouq won’t agree either.

Okay then, as you wish.

But don’t regret it later when you get into the dilemma.

Because the matter

You son of a dog, you psycho.

Dad, I told you I want the cartoon.

Dad.

Come, Dad, please.

Please, Dad.

What’s wrong? I called you several times.

You didn’t answer, so I said I’d come.

To see what’s wrong with you.

What’s wrong?

I’m sorry, Dad, forgive me.

I had my phone on silent.

I had my phone on silent.

I didn’t want to answer anyone.

I was stressed, couldn’t sleep, and don’t know how to sleep.

Don’t tell me that stupid boy upset you.

I swear by God.

I swear by God I’ll hang him from the ceiling here.

No, Mohamed didn’t do anything.

Then what is it?

We went to the gynecologist yesterday.

And did an ultrasound.

Yes, I understood.

There is no power nor strength except with God.

I’m sorry, my dear, I’m sorry.

I understand, I understand.

Anyway, you’re still young.

God willing, God will bless you.

And you will have one, two, three, and four children.

Don’t be upset.

I’m pregnant with five, Dad.

What?

You mean you’re five months pregnant?

I’m pregnant with five.

Five twins.

Five twins?

Are you sure?

Are you sure?

Yes, by God.

I wasn't expecting this at all.

God, you are generous, God.

God, you are generous, God.

I am very happy.

My only wish in life

was to have many grandchildren.

Praise be to God, praise be to God.

He fulfilled my wish.

Are you happy, Dad?

This is beyond what Mohamed and I can handle.

We've been shocked since yesterday.

Mohamed either gets shocked or goes to hell.

Mohamed either gets shocked or goes to hell.

But let me tell you something.

I want you not to worry at all.

I will take care of them in my arms for life.

Don’t worry about them or their expenses.

He’s a silly boy.

Don’t worry about any situation.

I will always be behind you.

Thank God.

Please, don’t mess me up with anything, sir.

May God make it easy for you, lady.

Sir, I have five children.

And their father is dead.

And their father is dead.

But this—

But this—

You have five children?

Yes, sir, I have five.

Their father died from hardship and left them to me.

May God protect you, take a tissue from me.

May God protect you, take a tissue from me.

Their father died?

May God have mercy on him.

A thousand mercies and light upon him.

Please help me with anything, sir.

I will bring it back to the children.

What’s wrong with him?

I will take you to the juvenile court and finish this.

Because you are a kid’s son.

What’s up, Mohamed?

I saw a sign from God, Shawky.

The pills you told me about, what are they called?

Man, it’s okay, just come.

Peace be upon you.

And upon you peace.

Please, doctor, we want abortion pills.

What’s this nonsense?

What, man?

Abortion.

Abortion.

The ones that make you miscarry.

And who are these for?

Why, for him?

Definitely not for him.

No, not for him, I’m not the one to take them.

For my wife.

Why are you so nervous, Mohamed? Just say we want abortion pills.

Okay, Shawky, you told him already.

For my wife, I swear, doctor, it’s nothing bad, really.

If it were something bad, then something worse.

Your wife is the one who goes with her.

These pills only come with a sealed prescription.

Not just whenever you want.

Why, man?

Why, man?

No, no, don’t come closer.

No, no, don’t come closer.

I will shout and get you in trouble.

Don’t worry, doctor.

I’m coming closer to tell you my problem in your ear.

No, don’t say it, I don’t want to hear you.

Go away, don’t get close to him or me.

Okay, I’ll tell you.

What’s wrong with you, man? Are you okay? What’s wrong? Are you drunk?

Just listen to the problem.

Man, don’t think—no, doctor, nothing is wrong.

Calm down.

Come on, man, trust God. Did you guys drink something tonight or what?

Enough, enough, enough.

What’s going on, guys?

These people.

Enough, enough.

Come on, Shawky, come on.

I’m telling you, we want Napalm.

Okay, Shawky, I won’t give it to them.

Okay, Shawky, enough.

What are you going to do?

I’ll leave the kids, I won’t give it to them.

Why, Mohamed? You have the right, God.

Come on, Shawky, come on.

Honestly, this stuff is sold normally in pharmacies.

We are not thieves, sir.

What’s this?

I don’t understand. When did I put out this schedule?

You shut up completely now.

Why should I shut up?

You’re coming in strong like we’re buying toothpaste.

What’s with this confidence?

And honestly, I'm poor and the whole world is closing in on me.

I'm the poor one, you mean?

What do you want me to say?

Sir, we're just going.

Hey man, where are you going?

You want abortion pills, right?

Yeah.

No, we don't want them. Who told you we want them?

No, we want them.

What, Shawky? What if he's recording us or something?

He's recording us.

He says he's recording us.

Hey man, do you want them or not?

We want them.

We want them.

Your request is with me, your brother Hamdy Abu Zahra.

Your request is with me, your brother Hamdy Abu Zahra.

Look, Najm, call this number.

He'll give you everything you want.

The most important thing is to tell him you're from my side.

Okay.

And what's your name then?

Hamdy Abu Zahra.

Didn't I tell you, son, Hamdy Abu Zahra?

I thought it was the password.

Thank you very much, Mr. Hamdy, a thousand thanks.

My dear.

.

.

.

Be careful, we are the ones serving you, we honor you.

My dear.

It contains two hundred and fifty.

A thousand thanks.

The most important thing is that none of you mention my name.

I don't want anyone's livelihood cut off.

Don't worry.

So you didn't tell them we're from Hamdy Abu Zahra's side?

Man, take care of your business, get your business done, and forget me, don't know me.

Man, take care of your business, what's your business? Forget me, don't know me.

Don't bring up his name anymore.

Don't bring up his name anymore.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

Thanks.

Got it, of course, a thousand thanks.

And your kindness is on my head.

A thousand thanks.

Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Hamdy.

Thanks.

Yes, sir, available. How much do you want?

No quantity, boss. Am I a dealer?

What boss? I'm just a woman... woman.

I'm sorry, ma'am, I didn't mean to offend.

I don't need a quantity or anything.

I need to terminate a pregnancy in the early third month.

Okay.

So you need three pills.

Take them all at once.

Take them all at once.

It will cost you two thousand pounds.

Two thousand pounds?

Why two thousand pounds? That's too much.

Alright, man.

If you find someone cheaper, get it from them.

Okay, can you give me a discount?

I mean, I'm still young and just starting out.

Yeah.

Looks like it's your first time, right?

Yes, honestly, first and last time, God willing.

And I'm buying as a customer, man.

I'll give it to you for one thousand seven hundred.

You won't find cheaper than that, by the way.

One more word and I'll block you.

No, no, no, we agree to all your requests, lady of all.

Alright.

Okay, I'll send you a number in a message.

Okay, I'll send you a number in a message.

Transfer the money to it.

And send me your home address.

That's where I'll send you the stuff.

No, no, what home?

Can't I come pick them up myself?

I don't want anyone to know about this at all.

No, my dear.

That's our system.

Everyone's watching us these days, we're the ones who send.

Okay, fine, I'll give you the work address.

And the times I'm available.

Okay.

But let me tell you something, please, ma'am.

This matter should be kept secret, okay?

No one should notice anything.

Don't worry, no one will notice anything.

We trust in God.

We trust in God.

There is no god but God.

Our master Muhammad is the Messenger of God.

Okay, God be with you.

I love you.

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

At work.

At work.

And I love you.

I don't know why I said that.

Come on, man.

Why are you late today, Mohamed?

Why are you so tired today, Mohamed?

Why are you so tired today, Mohamed?

Nothing.

What do you mean nothing? Tell me.

Nothing, Shorouk.

I was sitting with Shawky, he had a problem.

Can we focus on our problems first?

I want to sit and talk with you.

We need to think about what we are getting into.

There are only seven months left.

There are only seven months left.

Okay, may God give us long life.

Sorry, today I am tired.

We’ll talk tomorrow.

Who am I supposed to talk to, Mohamed?

Who am I supposed to talk to?

My mind is spinning from so much thinking all day.

And your silence doesn’t comfort me.

I told you, tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

Does everything have to happen at the time you decide?

Not at the time I decide, Mohamed.

Fine, suit yourself.

Just hope I don’t find you sitting writing on the balcony.

If we say the expenses for one child in a week

are

then the five kids in a week

five kids in a week.

Meaning the expenses for five kids in a month.

The apartment rent, electricity, and water.

Food and drink.

Oh my goodness.

Oh my goodness.

Thanks only.

I will take my leave now, sir.

The name here.

Here, and the signature here.

When is the delivery?

Immediately, sir.

Let me tell you something.

Keep an eye on me.

If someone looks like a dealer, tell me immediately.

Without anyone noticing.

I don’t need scandals here.

I don’t need scandals here.

And how will I know who he is?

Man, everyone looks like a dealer now.

Don’t you see the client sitting with me?

The client here?

Yes.

Go sit in your place and don’t fuss too much.

The lady told you the delivery will be in complete secrecy, right?

They surely won’t expose themselves, Mohamed.

Please, did she say that?

Yes, honestly—I forgot to confirm this point yesterday.

No, you told her the delivery will be in complete secrecy.

Please, and she told you not to worry, sir, the delivery will be in complete secrecy.

So go sit in your place so that Gamal doesn’t come and do things to you in complete secrecy.

So go sit in your place so that Gamal doesn’t come and do things to you in complete secrecy.

Alright, it was an honor.

.

Mr. Mohamed Shaaban.

Yes, correct.

Sit down, don’t take anything out now, wait.

Let me tell you something, leave the thing on the desk. Finish it, what are you waiting for?

Let me tell you something, leave the thing on the desk. Finish it, what are you waiting for?

So, leave it and go?

Yes.

You know.

Sir, I know, stop the nonsense, we’ll get exposed.

What’s the scandal in that?

Many people have the same problem.

You just want to talk.

Leave the thing and finish.

Let’s go.

My dear serious one, my Zamiri.

Peace be upon you all.

And upon you.

And upon you.

Then who are you?

I’m Houda the plumber.

I was fixing something in Mr. Saeed’s apartment, may God protect him.

What?

Honestly, when I knew he had a problem with my department,

he sent me here.

And told me you will do the duty with me.

And what’s with the department?

Mr. Saeed?

May God protect him.

Honestly, I don’t know him.

Ask the branch next to us.

Sorry, sorry.

There’s also Mohamed Shaaban there for sure.

There’s also Mohamed Shaaban there for sure.

Taste this juice and tell me what you think.

Did you know this is the first time you've made juice since we got married?

Really?

I mean, the first time you’ve made anything at all.

No, and from now on I don’t want you to make any juice.

Because of the baby in your belly.

I’ll be the one operating the blender from now on.

Oh, so just juice.

I mean, washing, cooking, and cleaning—

I mean, washing, cooking, and cleaning—

Just juice.

I mean, generally.

It’s a good first step that you’re starting to help.

Well done.

Thank you?

Aren’t you making juice for yourself?

No, I don’t like juice.

Honestly, the oranges are finished.

No, then you have half and I have half.

No, no, enjoy it, you drink.

I don’t want it.

Okay?

You know, Mohamed,

I told my father about the pregnancy and he was very happy.

I told my father about the pregnancy and he was very happy.

What could upset him?

Is he losing anything?

Look, Mohamed,

Even though I’m a bit scared about it and all,

I had a very nice dream last night.

I dreamed that our five children were in front of us in a big garden.

You and I were sitting,

and we were watching them.

Ah.

I—

I go to the bathroom and you have already drunk the juice.

What if something happened to Shorouq?

What should I do?

No, no, no.

Shorouq.

Shorouq.

Shorouq.
