Original subtitles

I don't know what to do with you.

I would have buried you here, I just didn't want to upset your grandma.

She struggles to provide for you and you steal from her, you scumbag.

Head down! Down!

Take this car and keep it until you get your car back.

I don't know how. That's not my problem.

Another thing...

if I hear that you asked your grandma for money, and I will know,

I'll have you skinned inside out. Got it?

Here's Debb. You must have heard of him.

He'll talk to you, and I'll judge you.

Now, get lost.

The papers are in the front case. Okay?

Take good care of the car. Now, bounce. Get out of here.

Who did you talk to?

What do you mean who I talked to? I talked to the man responsible.

When I first saw him,

I asked him if his car was stolen and if he wants it back.

He denied it.

When I told him, "Your grandma is at Jabal's,

and they're looking for the car," he stumbled.

After two slaps, he started talking.

Let's move. That kid ruined my mood.

By the way, Chahine,

I have an inborn trait of hating family disloyalty.

And this suits you.

Keep your head down.

I said that I will tell you only when we get home.

You know, Essa made me wait.

I told you that they know.

They just knew recently.

And they will eventually know anyway.

Essa is handling everything.

So, my family doesn't want to talk to me.

Come on, Mona. Didn't you hear what the doctor has just said?

Don't worry and don't think too much.

How could I not worry?

The case is up and running. I'm on it.

Oh, how much you underestimate things!

Yes, honey, this is what we should do.

But this is not your car, sweetie.

This one is a lot better.

Did they also return the money?

I paid for this car's additional price. I won anyway.

Are you satisfied now, sweetie?

I couldn't be more satisfied.

Oh, sweet boy. All I want is to see you happy.

Well, I don't know what to say.

Say that you're satisfied and happy.

Thank God.

And now, my son's debt has been paid.

May God bless all of you with happiness for making JoJo happy.

Since his uncle arrived, Jabal has been treating me differently.

Half his speech is gestures and doubts.

He didn't mention anything about the vehicles?

I told him that I know some people.

Jabal didn't pay attention. He is now mostly interested about Ronny.

He'll use him against you.

What if I told you that there is no Ronny?

What do you mean that there is no Ronny?

It's just what you heard.

He won't appear now, or even in a month, a year, or in 15 years.

I see. So he'll use him against me and isolate me.

His uncle, Jamal, warned him about you.

He told him, "They want to eliminate you and replace you with Chahine."

That's why Jabal sent you there to be exposed.

He wants to send a message that he knows everything.

The whole thing started at that point.

He conceded a little, but for them, it was not enough.

They still want you. And your father gave them guarantees.

And?

We can't do without Sheikh Al-Jabal family.

But you have to do something spectacular to convince the people

that you can be the head of the family.

How?

That I don't know.

As you can see, for me, Jabal has become an enemy.

And I'm not going down alone.

Women like Marie should be honored by a statue.

She dedicated her whole life for her son.

Yeah, she's cute. She made me laugh.

She said that yogurt doesn't need a factory.

You just boil it and let it cool.

If you want the truth, it's as simple as such.

If it's a small quantity, that's true.

But if you want to expand the business, that's completely different.

Why do you want to expand the business this much?

To make profit. To make clean money.

But when I started this factory,

I wasn't thinking about profit.

And the money was clean.

Then why did you start it?

So that I don't remain a stranger.

Of all Sheikh Al-Jabal's family,

there was one woman who visited me at home.

She used to bring us milk and yogurt.

She once said, "Don't be upset, Lady Nahed.

The people of Al Hayba aren't used to strangers.

But they like those who appreciate and help them."

Back then, there were many women like her.

Women who made a living out of the yogurt they made.

I just had an idea.

I said to myself,

"Why don't we just buy the yogurt they make and repack it?

Then we'll distribute some of it, and sell some of it

instead of doing nothing."

And this was what happened.

After a while,

the work expanded and the yogurt became plenty

that it required a factory.

And then,

well, many people started to like me.

But they still call you "the Syrian woman."

Yeah. But a lot of them were good to me.

Big yogurt factories were founded.

And people didn't make yogurt at home anymore.

They bought it from factories.

But our factory continued to work.

You know, I have a lot of ideas.

But I don't know how to invent a special taste

for Sheikh Al-Jabal's yogurt.

Tasty yogurt needs tasty milk.

That's why I need you to do something.

Whatever happens,

keep buying milk from those people, even if it's a little more expensive.

Many people love sincerely.

But love is like an orchard,

you have to keep the water pouring.

I think we need a fountain.

I NEED A FAVOR FROM YOU

Hello, Alia. Sorry to call you at this time.

I have no one but you.

I'm trying to talk to my family. But no one wants to talk to me.

I wanted to explain that I only want my share.

I don't want to be enemies with them.

I hope you can help me out with this.

Anyway, I'll talk to you tomorrow.

Give Jabal Junior a kiss for me.

ALIA: OKAY

See you next week.

-Thanks, Doctor. -See you.

Thanks.

Are you tired?

Staying at home makes me more tired.

There's a lady outside. She made an appointment when you were in Beirut.

Okay, let her in, please.

DR. GHADA AL-KHOURY DENTAL CLINIC

At this point, we can do nothing. Everything looks good in there.

Really?

My last checkup was two months ago, though.

Your previous dentist did some nice work there.

Yeah. He used to be my dentist, when I was living in Canada.

I don't know if I'll see him again, if I manage to go back there.

Anyway, I can see you in three months,

if you're still in town.

Anyway, I was told by someone that you're very talented.

Do I know him?

I think so. You're supposed to remember the patients you see.

He's one of my employees at the factory. His name is Amin.

I see. Sure.

You're welcome anytime, madam.

By the way, it's nice that a talented and skilled doctor like yourself

opens such a nice clinic and works in a village.

And it's also nice that a woman like yourself leaves Canada

to run a yogurt factory in Al Hayba.

Yeah.

A yogurt factory.

I don't know. Maybe Al Hayba has some kind of magic.

Indeed.

Next time, I'll bring Jabal with me for a checkup.

My son, he's eight years old.

Of course. You're welcome.

Carol handles the appointments.

You're welcome.

-Madam, there's-- -Not now, Carol.

Do you have a minute?

Alia was here.

What?

Well, we'll talk later. I have guests now.

If the road was here,

then ten other construction sites will be available.

I'm consuming your time for work.

No, it's okay.

There will always be work to do.

Well, you were saying.

Maybe we can settle this quarrel with Nidal.

You said that this bastard will behave,

and that he got back to work in the store like a decent man.

But you said some words in public.

And there will come a day when both of you will meet.

I don't care. If I come across him, I'll kill him.

This is the problem.

Abu Ahmad, you're a decent man.

You know well what Nidal must do for Jabal to forgive him.

I can convince his father. They don't want any trouble.

But he's so big-headed.

And I hope you can forgive him.

I appreciate you coming here, Abu Ahmad. You have good intentions.

However,

you stay out of this.

There's nothing for me in it.

That's why I'm telling you to stay out of it.

Nidal and his wife are like a bull and a scorpion.

They understand nothing but force.

Or else they come to me and apologize in front of people.

Coffee?

-Coffee. -You got it, Abu Ahmad.

Hey, Suleiman.

You made this, Amal?

I made yogurt like this five years ago for Al-Wadi Company.

We did a nice job together.

It's tasty.

We used to buy one of those, madam. But it didn't taste like before.

Why?

Because when the customer demand increased on yogurt,

they started to alter the recipe.

You mean water?

Water or imported cheap powdered milk.

I complained and asked for a raise, so they let me go.

I'm an engineer, though. I tried to do something by myself, but I had no luck.

Then I heard that Sheikh Al-Jabal's factory is seeking employees.

So I thought I'll apply and see how it goes.

Very well.

But we won't be making the same yogurt. We don't want troubles with customers.

We'll be making it better.

Don't worry. I'll make it better and tastier.

Do you know how to use the machines we have?

Sure. I've been doing this for 15 years.

Well, I have a personal question. Why didn't they give you a raise?

Honestly, I asked for my right. Nothing more, nothing less.

I told them we can reduce the cost without decreasing the yogurt's quality.

But they had already decided to let me go.

Anyway, our tools are quite old.

But it will suffice. You give it a shot.

We'll decide when we see the results.

All I want is a chamber for heating and cooling.

And high-quality milk. But allow me to obtain that.

Done. Deal.

Merci, madam.

You're welcome. I'll be waiting for good results.

I hope so.

Here you are.

Tasty.

Hello.

Sorry, I couldn't send a reply. I was very busy.

I appreciate your efforts.

I can't believe you're the same Alia

who wanted to fight the world to get her son and leave.

What can I do? I have to pass the time instead of sitting at home.

It seems you have started to miss home.

I'm not good.

I don't want anyone to be upset.

If only you have thought of this before filing the lawsuit,

you could've saved yourself much sorrow.

You're one of them now?

No, don't get me wrong.

I'm just telling you what you could've done.

You want your rights in the end.

This is my problem.

My family doesn't talk to me because I've filed a lawsuit against them.

If I withdraw, my husband will divorce me. What can I do?

I got your point.

I'm lost between them.

Do you understand, Alia? I'm really lost.

I can't sleep.

I'm having nightmares all the time.

Majdi even went to work without saying a word!

Calm down, please. Stop crying.

It's not good for you and the baby. You'll get yourself hurt.

What can I do?

Give me some advice.

I'm really tired.

I'll try to do something. But I'm not sure how much I'll succeed.

Rest assured that I'm with you.

What matters is that you take care of yourself and stop crying now.

I'm really sorry. I troubled your mind.

Give Jabal Junior a kiss for me. I miss him so much.

AL-AMAL PRIVATE SCHOOL

Ezzat.

When was the last time you took a day off?

I don't remember taking any day off.

My drive with Lady Nahed is like a day off to me.

Have you ever thought of taking Em Ali for a trip to visit your sons in Beirut?

It didn't cross my mind, honestly.

Even Em Ali didn't ask me to do that.

Plus, when our sons miss us, they will visit us.

She doesn't have to ask to be taken for a trip.

Did she complain to you?

Not at all.

But I think that it's just natural to take days off to see your sons.

Plus, you can go sightseeing outside the village.

Madam, if I leave Al Hayba, I'll suffocate.

Sorry, excuse me.

Hello.

Yeah.

I have great news this time.

Is it done?

The approval finally came.

You can come here and take Joe's passport.

It is great news, isn't it? You like it, right?

Of course, it's great. But wish me luck here.

Well, I will call you back later.

Ciao.

Hi, sweetie.

How did she get to you?

Amin told her about me.

But she was so relaxed. She didn't seem to suspect anything.

But I don't know why I denied my knowledge of you. I was confused.

What did you talk about?

Nothing private.

It was a normal doctor-patient talk. She set an appointment for the boy.

Well, act as normal as it gets.

Okay.

Will you pass by at night?

I don't know. I'll call you beforehand.

Well, anything yet?

If the road is going to be established across this area,

it will be a great zone for a market.

I don't want a market.

What then?

A factory.

We'll be dealing with state approvals.

It doesn't need any approval.

The license is already issued.

The factory is also there. We just want to expand it.

Don't say it's the yogurt factory.

I will.

Wait, somebody please explain this. I'm not following.

It doesn't need an explanation.

I want this land. You go now and talk to the owner.

Who will be the new owner?

Jabal Adel Sheikh Al-Jabal.

Or his mother, Alia.

God rest Adel's soul.

He used to love football.

The apple didn't fall far away from the tree.

Did he tell you that he's got two new friends at school?

Yeah. But he is still unfamiliar with the school system here.

It's way different from the schooling system back in Canada.

Well, you know, children learn fast.

Tell me, how's the work?

Good. A female engineer came today. She seems smart.

We agreed on everything.

And besides work?

Besides work, some things are good and some aren't.

If you like, tell me about the part that isn't good.

Nothing specific. You know, some things need time.

Are your parents okay?

Do you talk to them?

It's been a while.

Dad is always busy. And I don't get along with my mother.

But in the end, a mother is a mother.

Of course.

I'm satisfied with everything I did so far.

But she's not. She keeps on judging me for that.

When I married Adel, and now when I married Jabal.

Well, let her pay us a visit.

When she sees how you live here, she'll definitely be convinced.

She's stubborn. Each one of us wants to see things differently.

Anyway, I'm always trying to calm things between us.

I don't want to escalate things.

Speak to her.

No matter how upset she is with you, she'll definitely listen.

She may not pick up the phone.

Can't you see that you did something that made her not pick up?

To her, I did something. Something big.

If you want, I can talk to her.

If you were in her shoes, would you pick up the phone?

At least, I would listen.

I'll call her now.

We'll see. You listen and see for yourself.

Hi, Alia. Tell me.

Hi, Mona. How are you? Can you talk?

They didn't listen, did they?

I haven't talked to them yet.

They won't listen.

I know that.

Tell me, how are you holding up?

Nothing can happen to me in two or three hours.

But I don't know why my heart is beating fast.

I fear for my child.

Well, Mona. What do you want me to tell them exactly?

What I told you to.

I don't want anyone to be upset.

I'll talk to your mother and Jabal. And I'll call you back.

Take care of yourself.

Mona didn't commit a sin.

Enough. Say no more.

I'm not a little girl to be treated like this.

What did I do?

I had you listen to your daughter you're worried about.

Things like these aren't to be decided randomly.

We went along with your Marie thing.

But this won't be tolerated.

You said, "Only Em Jabal can support this house."

"Support" includes consulting the people living in the house.

Not act and get them in trouble.

I just wanted you to listen to Mona.

No one is mistreated in this house.

But when she files a lawsuit against her family,

to our traditions, this means infidelity.

Could you just give her a chance? She may quit this infidelity.

She knows what she has to do.

To back off, to be punished. Is this what she has to do?

You were just telling me to talk to my mother.

You were certain she would listen to me.

No. This is something else.

No, it's the same.

Mona is in really bad shape. She doesn't eat or drink.

If she stays so, she'll lose the child.

She's soft. I know my daughter well.

She does wrong, then she cries and regrets it.

You mean, she's lying.

No.

My daughter doesn't lie.

And come on, don't play this card on me.

Your son was sick, and you didn't answer him.

So, quit this drama.

Wait a minute. I stayed here for him.

Are you willing to do the same?

What is it?

-That was loud. -Listen to your wife.

She acts like a social worker on us.

You're barking up the wrong tree.

Mona is about to start the fifth month of pregnancy.

It's a very critical month.

I heard that. Are you satisfied now?

I want you to be satisfied.

I'm very satisfied.

Calm down, Em Jabal.

I said this house can only be supported by Em Jabal.

But I didn't die yet!

God bless you with a long life.

You just say it. I would divorce her and drive her out of here.

Don't make me start with you.

"Mona didn't commit a sin."

This is the first time I saw my mother so angry.

Because she knows I'm right.

Was it right to do what you did?

Are you here to judge me?

I'm just asking.

Your sister was dying to hear your mother's voice.

And your mother wanted to hear from her and check on her.

If only you just saw the sparkle in her eyes.

She didn't leave until she knew Mona's fine.

I'll answer you, yes, I was right. And so was your sister.

My sister did what she did. And she'll bear the consequences.

When you pray for rain, you'll get wet.

I can't see how is it wrong

that she asked for her share of the inheritance.

What do you know about my father's inheritance?

I know nothing. You tell me.

Listen.

She's got everything she wants. She's in need of nothing.

By the way, the house she lives in now belongs to her, not to that doofus.

So, Majdi can't afford to buy her a house?

He has a house, but not downtown like Mona's.

He lived with her and rented out his house.

What can I say? Majdi is a scumbag.

If she didn't force him on us, we wouldn't have agreed on him.

What's the problem, then?

As you want.

I'll tell you what the problem is.

This Majdi...

wants a piece of the land.

And this land,

if priced, wouldn't suffice for a room in Beirut.

However, there are some people who will pay millions for it.

Why?

To compete with us in business.

And if they do so,

that's war.

This war will involve all of us.

You and your son are included.

Are you okay with that?

I don't know. I'm confused.

Mona wants to have her share and to make everyone satisfied.

Well, I'm okay with you being a mediator. How's that?

Of course, I don't want a war. Neither does Mona.

Majdi does.

He's behind all this scheme.

Make him withdraw the lawsuit, and I'll handle my mother.

And you're the judge, Em Jabal.

Yeah. We're far from the sign.

About ten kilometers.

Right.

No, cousin. I don't think I will make it there alone.

That would be better. I appreciate it.

Thanks.

They will send some people to pick us up.

Something happened with our men.

-What's it? -A car passed without being scanned.

It will cross towards Syria.

It will be at the second checkpoint in an hour.

One of us must be there.

We won't make it in time.

They refused to be searched.

I see. Then it will escalate.

Tell me, why did you buy this sandglass?

If you don't like it, I'll get rid of it.

No, on the contrary, keep it.

To not forget.

Forget what?

The time.

I want to keep one like this in the factory.

Well, whenever you feel bored, you flip it over.

It depends on what I'm bored of.

Of this drama.

It's too early. I'll spend all my time in the factory.

Will you go to Beirut?

What for?

To have fun, relax, go shopping.

If Joe comes with me, it's a good idea.

No.

If Joe is coming, there will be other arrangements.

You don't trust me yet, do you?

I didn't say that.

Then I'd like to spend this weekend with Joe in Beirut.

To have fun and go shopping. Or whatever.

Let me arrange this with the men.

I can't see why everything here is so complicated

and requires too much arrangements.

You should've known us by now.

No, not yet.

But you'll know in the end.

The result is what matters.

Marie was happy in the end.

Why did you take the car in the first place?

Don't jump into conclusions. We have nothing to do with it.

I did her a favor for you.

We've let it pass this time. That woman was good and nice.

But other people misunderstand our generosity.

Our house has always been open for people in need.

But not for everybody.

Yes, Chahine. What?

We tried to handle it by a phone call, but no luck.

It appears that one of us has to go there.

Sakher and I are far away from there and won't make it.

A suspicious car refused to be searched.

What's in the car?

No. It's near from me. I'll see what it is.

Tell me, what's this about?

It isn't about the time. It's about the sand.

My life is like someone walking on a hill of sand.

If I don't know where I'm stepping into, I'll drown in it.

-Hey. -Hey.

Take a video of it and let him see it.

It seems a little small.

That depends on what he'll do with it.

A factory.

And you believed that.

Take a video and let him see it. Come on.

Well.

They said they were just crossing the road.

They didn't let us search the car.

Master, it's one of the cars whose boxes were removed.

Master, here they are. They have arrived.

All the cars are to be scanned.

Good morning, guys.

Good morning, Master.

So, you're making troubles.

No way, Master. We're just crossing the road.

What's in the car?

A package for the road.

What's in the package?

A trusted gift for Master Zidan.

What's that gift?

Come on, Master, it's a gift.

Well.

See what the gift is.

It's not worth it.

If that is so, then don't argue.

Unload the car. Come on, I don't have all day.

Now.

Master!
