Original subtitles

Here you are. Pull the trigger.

It's too close. Just place it in Beirut and ask me to hit it.

You can do it, Em Jabal.

No, a little lower. Hold your breath.

Pull back your leg. Just one leg. That's good. Hold your breath.

From this to this, all the way to the center of the target.

Come on.

I'm short of breath.

Come on.

Well, you hit Canada.

Raise it up. Listen.

Listen.

Don't push the trigger. Squeeze it, okay?

And from this to this, all the way to the center.

Come on.

I'm squeezing it.

Wow, it's so close! I hit Toronto.

Yeah, close to the heart.

Well, okay. Don't play master on me.

You're born with a gun in your hand. It's been only a week for me.

You'll see.

Well.

We'll see.

Can you please stop interfering with my factory business?

I'm only trying to help.

How can I know about my marketing

when you buy all the products and give it away for free?

You know, it's a little push.

I don't need a push. I can manage.

Well then, you push alone.

I meant it, Jabal. If you do this again, I'll be mad, big time.

I won't make you mad.

You got it.

Sakher!

I need to buy some stuff from the market. Take me with you.

Market? There are only a couple of stores.

Whatever.

Write it down. They'll get them for you.

I can't. It's girl stuff.

Plus, I'd like to go for a walk. I'm sick of sitting at home.

Get in.

Will you take me then?

Am I talking Turkish?

Why are you always angry?

Let's go.

You're still here?

What do you want me to do?

The boy's sick. His temperature is still rising.

Give him the usual medicine.

Really? The boy needs a doctor.

Well, ask your brother to take him to see a doctor.

What if my brother asks me, "Where's your husband?"

What do I tell him?

"My husband's chickened out at home"?

Somaya. Cut me some slack.

Why are you still in Al Hayba?

Because Jabal has men watching my house.

Once I step out of this house, they'll catch me and humiliate me.

And I'd rather die with a bullet than be humiliated.

For God's sake, show me where those men are!

Somaya, please stop it. Enough!

I'm taking the boy to a doctor.

It's all because of you!

I'll pack my stuff and go to my parents' house.

And when you get your guts back, you come and take me.

You're not coming?

I have to run some errand.

Is it work?

Shall I expect you for lunch or not?

I'll be a little late.

Okay.

I told you that I'm heading to Beirut tomorrow.

Yeah, you did.

Why?

Work.

Well, we'll talk later.

If I'm asleep, don't wake me up.

You won't be aware of me getting in anyway.

That's what you think.

Let's go, Debb.

Sakher?

What are you doing here?

Buying some stuff. What are you doing here?

Why didn't you tell me?

It's okay. I guessed you'd be busy.

No, there's been little work recently.

I was going to call you. The lawyer met with Chahine.

I hope he brings good news.

I hope so.

I was late, wasn't I?

Is this your work?

Hi, I'm Hanady.

Hello.

I have to go. If you want something...

Can you give me a ride home?

Get in.

Come on, Dad. What's going on? Don't give me that look. Please!

I know something isn't right. It will be fixed.

Jabal won't leave me here, Dad.

When they send a new fish here that I don't like,

I make him place his mat next to the toilet

until he goes away or dies.

And if my suspicions were true and you stayed here,

your mat would be permanently placed next to the toilet

so that you can't leave or stay.

-You want to come inside? -No, I don't.

Your mother hates my guts.

And I don't feel like listening to anyone.

What am I going to tell her?

Let's hope Chahine gets out soon.

I hope so.

If you need anything, just call me.

I don't want to trouble you.

Trouble me until your brother gets out of prison.

We're family.

And more.

RIMA

I've always wanted this place. It's far away from people's eyes.

I say you decorate it yourself

and we'll get back to meeting here. What do you think?

What is it, my love? Don't you like it?

I'll buy it and decorate it for you.

But I can't promise you that I'll come.

Then what do I need it for?

Because you like it.

Sweetie, I like it because I want to see you in it.

Yeah, but I can't come here frequently.

I don't have much time now. I have to hit the road.

Come on, love. I haven't seen enough of you yet.

Can't you see how dangerous and disastrous it is for me to come here?

Of course, I see that. But I don't understand.

They want me like the axe wants the turkey.

You mean Alia, don't you?

I don't have time for this.

I have to go.

Did anything happen between you two?

It did, right?

You've started to fall for her!

Do you love her?

What are you mumbling about?

Alia is my wife. We'll make a family together. Come on.

What if she didn't bear children?

Don't cross the line here, okay?

Answer me now.

Why wouldn't she? You know that Alia got pregnant before.

And you?

You've crossed the line here.

I got pregnant before, too.

Don't ever call me again, okay?

But...

would you call?

I'm leaving.

I was going to close the door.

Are you going to Canada?

Lady Alia will try to help me.

I can't stay locked up in here.

Well,

why not?

Good luck.

Listen.

Here, always keep it on the safe mode.

And you don't have to hold it all the time.

I have to keep it somewhere safe.

Joe keeps sneaking in and out of this room.

How was your trip?

Good.

Was it work-related?

Sakher told me that work has decreased recently.

There's always work.

Tomorrow morning, I'll head to Beirut.

Well,

good.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, I'm just thinking of something.

That worthy?

Who do you mean?

Nobody.

I mean, the thing that troubles your mind.

Do you know what my mom used to tell me?

What?

You can always tell when others have troubled minds.

The jealous role doesn't fit you.

We agreed to put an end to that drama.

Am I right?

You know what?

Whoever that woman you're seeing may be,

she'd better be more beautiful than me

so that I don't feel humiliated.

No woman is more beautiful than you.

Especially Ghada.

No one forces demands on me.

I know what to do and what not to do.

And what do I have to do? Not ask you about anything?

Stop asking me the questions that bother me.

I'll try.

I'm still getting to know you.

Oh, my sweet night, sweet night

My sweet, sweet night

Are you drunk?

Since the day I met you.

Cut the crap.

Why didn't you come?

You have to remove the photos from Instagram or you'll regret it later.

I love you, girl. Don't threaten me.

You promised me since last week. Why didn't you come?

I told you I'll see you tomorrow.

But you have to remove all the photos.

I won't remove anything until you come.

I told you I'll see you tomorrow.

Well, I'll remove them.

And don't use the phone when you're wasted

lest you'll post the rest of the photos.

They're really nice though.

Listen, don't make me--

Calm down, sweetie.

I'll remove the photos and call you, okay?

The doctor's at the checkpoint.

Let him in.

What's the doctor for, son? I feel good.

I know, Mom.

A normal checkup wouldn't hurt.

I'm telling you, I'm good, son.

I don't know. I have to make sure.

Doctor, Lady Alia's here. She says you called to remind her

-of an appointment. -Yes.

I don't recall there's any appointment for me.

I have to talk to you. It's urgent.

About what?

Jabal.

So you know him.

Of course, I do.

And I also know that you know everything.

So let's not play smart on each other.

I'm not playing smart. You are.

Good for you. You're fine.

She's Em Jabal.

Come on. Make fun of me, both of you.

Doctor, I want you to run all kinds of checkups.

I'll be waiting in the guests' room.

-Be strong, Em Jabal. -You, too.

I told him I'm fine. He didn't believe me.

-You're doing fine. -Thank you.

It's my private life. I won't go through it with you.

But you paid me a visit,

interrupted and ruined my private life.

Did I?

Yeah.

Just like that, you came and decided to stay in Al Hayba

and married your husband's brother.

You ruined other people's lives just like that!

First, I didn't simply come just like that.

You know well what happened.

Second, you should say this to Jabal, not me.

I told him so yesterday.

But I have something important to tell you.

You don't have the right to ruin a relationship that lasted for years.

I don't have a right.

It appears that Jabal didn't give you the answer you wanted to hear.

I know Jabal like I know myself.

What do you know about him?

It doesn't matter. At least I know why you're telling me this.

Listen, I have other plans in Beirut. I can't be late. I just want to tell you.

I know you're upset and unhappy, but it's not my fault.

And again, tell this to Jabal

because he is the one who decides what your "relationship" would be like.

I didn't know you before and I didn't intend to ruin anyone's life.

I know that Jabal had a private life before me, and I won't get involved in it.

But I won't let anyone interfere with my life.

You know, Doctor, humans are complicated beings.

Their organs stop functioning properly without them noticing.

Rest assured, Lady Nahed is fine. She's taking her medicines regularly.

Yes, thank God.

You know,

one shouldn't necessarily be old to run some tests. Right?

Every person above 40 should run a general test.

That's my point.

For instance,

some people see those tests as a shame.

Why is it a shame to care for one's health?

That's right.

You know, the heart, diabetes, blood pressure, and kidney functions,

they're all integrated.

How long since you last had a general checkup?

Too long.

You know my situation, don't you?

You know what,

I'll send the laboratory assistant tomorrow morning for Lady Nahed.

While we're at it, I'll have him run a blood test to you.

Just to make sure.

Well, okay then.

But keep this a secret. Don't let anyone know, okay?

For starters, a blood test will do just fine.

But there's eyesight. That needs a specialist.

Back pain, teeth, and procreation delay.

They require a specialist and some patience.

I have the patience.

Hey, son.

Do you intend to turn the house into a hospital?

Why?

Ghada, the dentist, is here.

What are you talking about?

Since when do dentists visit people at their houses?

Did she say why she's here?

No.

Yeah.

I remember now.

We talked about an infirmary project.

It seems I totally forgot.

You don't visit, so I did.

Hi.

I like to go with Lady Alia, but you know, I can't go to many places.

When you want to go someplace, just tell me.

I'll take you anywhere you want.

Don't be afraid.

I was going to knock on your door yesterday,

but I heard your voice from outside.

I thought you might be studying.

So I left you alone.

I wanted to take you out to spend the night.

I didn't notice anything.

But I wasn't going to go anyway.

I don't feel like hanging out. I like to study.

But why didn't you call your cousin, Rima?

She seems like a nice girl.

You had her name tattooed on your arm.

You're a perfect match.

I think she loves you.

I'm done.

Goodbye, Doctor. See you.

What are you doing?

Strange.

I've always wanted to have an inside look of your house.

I only got the chance when you decided to leave.

I made my third mistake, so choose how you'll punish me.

Why are you doing this? What's with you?

Why are you messing things up? Why not have some patience?

Sorry for what I said yesterday,

but I had to say it.

I know Alia isn't here.

She visited me at the clinic before heading to Beirut.

And?

I wanted to see her. There was an appointment that she forgot.

What appointment?

I wanted to repay her the visit.

She visited me first to get to know me without an appointment.

But this time, I set an appointment to get to know her better.

You know what?

Honestly,

I don't think she's good for you.

I didn't ask whether you like her or not.

I'm asking you why you're doing this.

We didn't talk much.

She wore the Canadian face on me.

You know, how she doesn't care about Jabal's private life

and doesn't interfere in it, and neither you in hers.

Stuff like that.

I don't care about what happened or what you talked about.

I asked you why you're doing this.

Are you shocked?

It's just...

I know you deep down,

but I can't understand what got into you.

Do you want to know what got into me?

I came to tell you that I've decided to go away.

At first, I was telling myself

that I won't leave you because you don't want to marry me.

If I do that, it means I don't love you.

I had to take my chances because that was my own decision.

When you married Alia, I was willing to be the second woman

or even the secret mistress.

I won't lie to you. I thought about that a lot.

I thought that it doesn't matter if I'm to die a hundred times a day

knowing that you're with her.

Even if it kills me every hour of the night

when I look at my cold bed and see your empty side of it

and the emptiness you left me to be here with her in the same room.

I was going to endure all of this

rather than make you feel that I'm in pain, agony, and torture.

But all of that was...

just to keep seeing the passion in your eyes like before.

But after the spark and passion in your eyes have gone,

I'm telling you, stay with her.

That's better. It's way better for you to stay with her

because I don't want you anymore.

And you can't make me happy anymore.

Let your image remain intact in my heart.

If I stay here, I'll stop loving you.

This is really the third mistake.

I'm right here. What's my punishment?

I'll keep checking on you.

No need. It doesn't work that way.

Checking on me is different from missing me.

To miss me is to yearn and take risks for me.

I can't take this suffering anymore.

I've suffered enough.

Tea.

Don't drink too much tea and coffee. It's not good for your teeth.

Take care of yourself.

So, did you cancel the infirmary project?

She seemed disappointed. It appears you promised her something.

I promised her nothing.

But everything we do for those who we care about is a promise.

Unfortunately.

You have a respectful woman,

beautiful, young,

and above all, she's your wife.

The doctor said you're doing fine, Mom.

Hello.

Yeah, I was trying on some clothes.

I'm coming to Beirut.

What? Why? Did anything happen?

We can't travel together. Let's at least have dinner together.

Come on, Jabal. It's not time for your jokes.

I'm not joking.

The road will take longer, but I hope I could make it before dinner.

Jabal, please, I was teasing you.

I mean... Come on, don't risk your life.

I know a restaurant that you will like.

Listen, our life won't be worth it if we don't take some risks.

I'll call you once I arrive.

Well, but...

Okay, as you wish.

I'll be waiting.

What is it, madam?

Jabal's coming to Beirut.

Mom told me you're heading to Beirut.

Yeah.

You won't go without me.

Find us a safe road.

Who's there? Over.

Yes, sir. Over.

Secure a road to Beirut.

Wrap this up, please.

-Want those wrapped, too? -No, not those.

Dollar or local currency?

It will work this time.

Here you are.

You'll have to make a turn there,

along the way to Mazar Ibrahim then you'll hit the main road.

We'll be waiting ahead of you.

-Okay. -You got it.

See you.

What?

It's a long turn.

Okay.

Yes, Alia.

We're on the way. It'll be fine, hopefully.

I'll be worried until you're here.

I was at the market buying a dress for the dinner.

Sweetie, I want to ask you something.

Ask anything.

I want you to pick me up from Mona's house.

Jabal, you still there?

You don't have to come in if that's what you want.

But it'll be a great chance to make things right again.

Even if I think about it, Mona won't agree.

Don't worry about this. I'll talk to her. You decide.

Well, let's arrive there first.

Well, okay. Have a safe trip.

Thank you.

Is Mona okay?

You didn't have to do this.

It's okay. I hope you like them.

Of course, thank you. How's your day?

Fine. I went to one meeting and postponed the rest

because Jabal is coming to Beirut.

Isn't that dangerous for him?

Yes, but what could I do? I tried to talk him out of it. He insisted.

See what's happening with them.

Okay.

-Hello. -Can I see you?

I'm not in Al Hayba. I'm heading to Beirut.

What is it?

Nothing. Forget it.

-Tell me, what is it? -Nothing.

I'm also in Beirut.

I'll call you when I arrive.

Okay.

-What? -Nothing, it's Rima.

What does Rima want?

She wants to meet up when I arrive in Beirut.

Good.

Now we both have dates tonight.

Couldn't care less.

Master.

It went well.

The road's secured.

Let's go.

Patients with one or two sessions will be accepted.

The rest will be transferred to other dentists.

I'll pay you a two-month salary until you find another job.

What if things didn't work well for you in Dubai in two months

and you had to come back?

I won't return after two months. Maybe not even in a year.

Do you really have to leave?

Yes, my daughter needs me.

And if I stay here,

I would hate myself.

So, are you happy now?

Come on, sweetie. Take it easy.

Don't call me sweetie. I'm not yours.

What were we talking about then?

Listen, I'll be very clear.

Hanging out with you was a mistake.

And the only reason I'm with you now is that you threatened me with the photos.

If you really love me, you'll delete all the photos.

And I won't promise you anything.

Really?

And I return empty-handed.

How much money do you want? Just say the number.

Money?

You know, I didn't think about money.

I was thinking about you all the time.

I mean it.

Like when I'm at home flipping our photos together.

You're a liar! You told me you deleted the photos!

Listen, girl.

I know well who your family is,

and I know what it means to post your photos publicly.

If you dared to tell any of them about it, you wouldn't be here begging.

So, here's the deal.

I still have a bunch of our photos, and I don't need money.

We only did it once.

I still have many of your photos.

For each time you come to my place, I'll delete one photo.

One time for each photo.

Tonight, the first photo will be posted. How's that?

You're a scumbag. A filthy bastard!

Dear, I didn't force you into anything.

You came to this scumbag.

I'll send you the address of my flat. I want you there at 9:30 p.m.

A minute after 9:30 p.m., you'll go public on Instagram.

You prestigious girl.
