Original subtitles

- Like what? - Just freelancing to supplement income.

It's not a big deal.

That's not you question, right?

No, no.

I apologize, I am a bit nervous.

There's no problem, take your time.

Do you have another phone number?

What?

I mean...

Did you send something to me on Whatsapp from another number?

Did you send something to me on Whatsapp from another number?

Like what?

I just sent you the location because we were meeting here.

No, something different, a few days back, from a different number.

Okay, could you ask me the full question so I can answer?

- What is it? - The full question.

Tell me, Mr. Aser.

Did you send me a video on WhatsApp showing me killing my husband?

Episode Eight

I'm sorry that I waited so long to tell you, but...

opportunities are rare.

What do you want from me?

What do I want?!

I want to know why you did it?

Was he beating you?

Did you catch him cheating?

What's the story?

What do you want from me?

- Just tell me what you want. - I want to know the person I'm hiring.

Who's that?

You.

You are going to work with me.

No, whatever you're thinking will never happen.

- Just so you know. - we're not thinking of the same thing

Calm down.

You're going to work with me for a while. I'll need you to do four tasks.

You're going to work with me for a while. I'll need you to do four tasks.

After the fourth task, I'll give you the video and we won't meet again.

Aren't you afraid?

Of what?

Because whoever kills once..

might kill a second and third time.

No

you're too delicate to do so.

What will I work on with you?

You'll know everything in due time.

Why should I believe you'll give me the video?

Why should I believe you'll give me the video?

Do you have a choice?

Where did you come from?

Calm down.

I don't want to hurt you.

Because if I wanted to hurt you

I would've given up the video, right?

Right.

Why not just give me the video and leave?

- I can't. - Why can't you leave me alone?

No one chooses their fate, Youmna.

You didn't choose to kill your husband that day

You didn't choose to kill your husband that day

and I didn't choose you specifically to work for me.

I suggest

you go now and take some rest

sleep because tomorrow's early morning

first thing you do when you wake up is quit your job.

Why would I quit my job?

Jack of all trades, master of none.

You'll resign from your job

and then wait.

I'll reach out for your first task.

Understood?

Nice to meet you, Mrs. Yumna.

- Mustafa. - Yes, my love.

I know how hard all this is for you right now.

I know how hard all this is for you right now.

With Sherief's issue and a hundred other things on your mind.

but the doctor asked to do so.

He said we should spend time with him.

He needs us now more than ever.

Yes, of course, I know, my love.

What happened to Marwan is not easy

just like Sherief disappeared.

Our son lost his speech and we don't know when he'll speak again.

What's wrong, Hind?

You told me to go out , I did.

What would you have done if I didn't?

What's the point of those words?

What's the point of those words?

I'm beginning to feel...

I'm handling all of this alone.

Okay?

No one else feels for me.

I don't feel like anyone of you cares about what's happening.

Only me.

- So, in the end, I'm the careless one. - I'm not saying that.

I understand how busy you are right now, but...

- No, no, I understand. - Marwan is your son.

- No, no, I understand. - Marwan is your son.

I know that, my love. Marwan will be fine, God willing.

And Sherif will return, and I am fine.

I'm great, tell me what you want, what should I do? Tell me.

I just want you to go

like, joke around with him, hang out with him.

- We didn't bring him here to be alone. - Okay, I'm going then.

Alright.

Show me, show me what you are doing, show me.

Mom told me you didn't have breakfast

and you refused to eat.

Why?

You won't tell me?

Why?

Is there a fake one of this?

- Yes, everything has a fake version now. - Oh of course.

It's unbelievable

a thief would wear

- branded sneakers? - What?

These sneakers are nice.

Yes, but they won't suit you.

These are for women.

For women?

Yes, women's, and it's pink.

They don't have it for men?

They don't have it for men?

No, not for men. What's with these weird questions? I don't get it.

Not weird, just stick with me. I'm trying to understand.

There are, you know...

Sneakers like these, for men and women

That can be worn by both, I mean.

- Yes, but these are not unisex. - Really?

What does that mean?

That means it really can't be...

So these are just for women?

Yes, just for women.

What?

What?

Yes, just for women.

Look, if you want something for yourself, these are nice.

Yeah.

No, I will look for something else.

Ok.

Why are you taking leave, Youmna?

Why are you taking leave, Youmna?

I need to rest a bit.

But you've never done that before.

It's okay, we will definitely meet outside.

We'll miss you.

You too.

Did you love your work that much?

What are you thinking about?

Ten days ago, I was on my way home from my work

going to our home

to celebrate my birthday.

Just ten days

I have committed a murder

caused a child to lose his speech.

and his father to fall into a coma.

I work with someone I don't know

and I don't know what he'll hire me for.

10 days!

Can you imagine!

Sherief used to call me the dumbest person he ever saw.

If he were here now, he would tell me, see?

I told you, you're dump.

If this past period has turned your life around and has taught you one thing…

It’s that you are not dump at all, Youmna.

You're not dump.

Someone else would have been caught.

But you hid from everyone around you.

Can you imagine what you've done?

You even discovered that Aser was the one who filmed the video.

You even discovered that Aser was the one who filmed the video.

You're not dump

Not at all dump.

The only person

who made you feel dump is dead and gone.

What should I do?

It'll pass

just like with anyone else.

Do you think all these men die just by fate?

Of course not!

We are the smart ones.

What is happening to us?

It's surely conjuring!

What conjuring, Lala?

Hasn't the police reached anything yet?

Mostafa

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm fine.

Do you think Sherief is okay?

Well, if you're asking me

as his older brother

- Sherief's fine and he'll be back. - God willing.

And if you're asking me as someone...

Who sees the situation from the outside

and has seen a lot in this life

Sherief won’t come back.

I have a suggestion

but please, don't yell at me!

I can open the gazing ball tomorrow. We will surely find something

Haven't you opened it before?

That's Aba Yaqub's gazing ball.

What is this?

Open it now.

Of course, it won't be possible. It needs a lot of preparation.

Listen to me this time only, Mostafa.

We have nothing left anyway.

We have nothing left anyway.

Can't I help you?

Do what you guys want.

What's the matter?

What will I work on with you?

Do you know what time it is?!

- I don't care, what's the job? - I told you, you'll know in due time.

- I don't care, what's the job? - I told you, you'll know in due time.

By the way, our job requires nerves of steel.

Yes, what's our blasted job?

Youmna

Go back to your apartment.

I'm telling you, I'm not joking with you, you're here for a task

Do as I say, or you'll be imprisoned like the others who did the same.

- Understand? - Yes.

- Yes, I don't want anything. - Calm down, Youmna

so you don't get upset.

so you don't get upset.

Okay.

I just wanted to know what I'm going to work with you on? I swear, that's it.

Go inside and sit.

- Why? No. - Go in.

Sit inside.

What will you drink?

Nothing.

What will you drink to calm down and listen? I hate repeating myself.

A soft drink.

No, maybe a tea.

- Sugar? - One teaspoon.

Tell us, Tamtam.

Tell us, Tamtam.

You keep annoying us saying it's hard, it's hard.

It needs a lot of preparations.

It's a gazing ball, not going to a sheikh.

Why are you treating this like a game? I don't get it.

No, it's not a game.

May God forgive me.

But I want to understand.

Don't do this, Tamtam.

Mustafa has a lot on his plate, can't you see?

What issue, Hind?

What I'm doing is the only way to get us to Sherief.

There's no benefit.

Focus with me.

Tell me, what is required?

Tell me, what is required?

Look, everything is manageable.

Except one thing.

- That one's a little tough. - What's that?

The one to open the gazing ball

has to be an orphan.

A child without a mother and father.

But you haven't explained anything.

you know your problem?

You don't accept.

Don't accept what?

You need to accept the situation you're in.

The answers will come in time.

Stop being in a rush.

- Enough of your negativity. - What negativity?

Why do you make me feel like an old friend?

I do know you.

But what I know more is the way you act now

and it won't change anything.

You'll finish the work and get the video.

I bet you

Before you leave you'll thank me.

Thank you?!

You mean, I finish the work, get the video, and then I'm free to go?!

Yes, I'll let you go, just like that.

Because I'm honest and I gave you my word.

I already told you.

- I don't want to harm you, right? - Right.

The passport you went to get isn't of any use, right?

Are you spying on me?

You don't have to wait five days, you know.

It'll be issued from the complex in one day.

I want you to carefully consider what you'll do with it.

Because if you travel

you won't be back here again.

That is if you're not caught at the airport, of course.

What do you want from me?

For now, consider changing your style.

- What's wrong with my clothes? - It needs to change.

Your style and your colors are odd. They won't work for the job.

Change them starting tomorrow.

What do you want from me now?

Right now, at this moment, I need you to leave because I have to take this call.

Yeah, boss?

No, boss.

Sure.

Goodbye.

- Peace be upon you. - Peace be upon you, welcome.

- Peace be upon you. - Peace be upon you, welcome.

Do you remember me?

Oh yes, of course, of course I remember you.

You came once asking about Mr.Sherief in the third floor, right?

Hold.

The last time you came

Mr. Sherief wasn't there.

He's always absent.

And by the way

Sometimes he doesn't show up for two weeks.

Sometimes he doesn't show up for two weeks.

But Mrs. Nabila is upstairs.

- Who's Mrs. Nabila? - Mrs. Nabila is his wife.

- Okay, thank you, boss. - Are you Mr. Sherief's brother?

- How did you know? - You look alike.

Also, the way you speak.

But by the way

You're more generous than him.

Mrs. Nabila?

You know well that

the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him

instructed how to treat the orphans.

Peace and blessings be upon him.

But the thing you're asking for is very strange indeed.

People have always come to spend a day with the orphanage children.

People have always come to spend a day with the orphanage children.

They'd bring them gifts and they'd play and have fun and then leave.

But taking the child alone

Then bringing him back. Strange, never happened before.

We're not just going to take him away, no.

We want him to feel that he is part of the family.

Unfortunately due to certain circumstances, we aren't able to let him live with us

But we want him to feel like he's part of a family

But this will require some procedures to be undertaken.

Okay let's proceed, we don't want to miss out

Okay let's proceed, we don't want to miss out

on the reward and blessing of..

I mean, we came here to make an orphan child happy.

Great, I had a child

- his mother is alive. - No.

We want an orphan

No father or mother

Isn't that right?

- Yes. - Why?

Look, honestly, we want an orphan kid

to open up the gazing ball.

Look, here’s the marriage contract

and this is the girl's birth certificate.

How come? How do Sherief have a daughter, I don't get it?

You have the birth certificate, and the girl's asleep, lower your voice.

Why didn't he tell us?

That was his only condition, that no one would know.

- Where is he now?..No. - You might find him at his other house.

We’ve known nothing about him for a week.

Then who knows?

He disappears sometimes

- I always know he's in his other house. - Lower your voice, the girl!

Her uncle cares for her, okay.

Now I don’t know where he is

honestly, I don't know where he is.

You made me worry.

You made me worry.

Worry?

Sorry, how did you two meet?

- That's a long story. - Not the time now.

Thank you so much, and I wish I had met you under better circumstances.

- If you'll excuse me. - But once he shows up, tell him to call me

He doesn’t need to come here

just assure me.

Alright.

- Excuse me. - Nice having you.

- Wait, I'll walk you out... - No, no, stay.

You should get your passport and travel.

This is the first time I feel you're saying something without thinking.

He told me that

instead of waiting, go get your passport from the complex in Tahrir, faster.

Do you think someone like this will let me travel freely?

Definitely not.

- But what do you have other than waiting? - Nothing.

The problem is, he's weird and constantly making me nervous.

The problem is, he's weird and constantly making me nervous.

He tries to act as if he is polite when he is totally insane.

And he doesn't like my clothes!

What?!

What made you bring this up?

He said your clothes and style need a change.

Then he forced a sack of clothes from his house on me.

- Why does he have women's clothes? - I don't know!

Do my clothes look bad?

What's all this nonsense..where are we heading with this now, Youmna?

Yes, Aser?

Alright.

What?

He wants me to go to him now to receive the new work.

What did we say before we went in?

Don't speak out, Lala.

She would figure out anyway.

The lady was about to agree

and you, bless you!

- You just confessed everything! - Show some respect!

I'm sorry, Lala, but honestly, I got upset.

I'm sorry, Lala, but honestly, I got upset.

What are we going to do now? Things were going well.

Why are you behaving like a baker?

- A baker?! - Yes, like a baker.

You keep going back and forth on the same subject like they do with the dough.

We tried our luck once

and it didn't work out; we'll try it again

God's world is vast.

Look, we'll go to another orphanage.

I swear to the great God, I will not open my mouth.

Life is very easy for you.

Look, I will teach you something

Look, I will teach you something

so that after a long life, God willing

you will say Lala taught me a lesson

that I will never forget.

- Look, nobody... - What did I tell you, finish up Lala.

Ok, just make it easier for yourself, God will ease it for you.

So the whole introduction was just to tell me to simplify things for myself?

Yes, so that I can say make it easier for yourself.

- I don't know why you aren't like me - Thank God!

Strange.

Wait, Lala, you were right after all.

What, what happened?

What, what happened?

Let's make it easier for myself here, come, come.

Yeah, come on.

- May you find a nice guy to marry. - Tissues?

- Who do you work for? - Nobody.

Well, you know if you told me who, I'd give you a lot of money.

- Like 200 pounds? - 200 pounds!

- No, tell me first. - Alright.

- What should we do with this naughty boy! - Calm down, Lala.

- What should we do with this naughty boy! - Calm down, Lala.

This boy will kidnap us.

Kidnapped us? He's a young kid!

What young kid are you talking about!

Never in my life have I been as scared as I am of these little kids.

- It's okay..it's okay. - We should've just taken him home.

We have to ask his master.

Don't worry, I won't harm you, come with me.

- Hello, boss. - What's up, chocolate?

These people want to see you.

Okay, go join your brothers then.

Come closer, introduce yourselves.

Now, tell me, what is your age counter today?

I am Fatma.

and this is my aunt Lala.

- Lala! - But this age counter thing

- I honestly don't get it. - I mean how old are the two of you?

You insensitive lot!

Is there anyone in the world who asks a grown woman how old she is?

What do you want?

We want this boy to open the gazing ball.

Who sent you?

- What do you mean? - I mean who sent you...

- What do you mean? - I mean who sent you...

Salwa, the mother of Egyptian or...

Sheikh Alaa Anzha

Or Miss Faiza Tekshiba?

None of them.

Who is this Salwa mother of Egyptians?

What has she done to the Egyptians that she's their mother?

Believe me

you are a trouble-maker.

Don't talk to me again.

Do you understand or not?

It's clear you're calm

I will deal with you.

Well, I won't pass this?

We came because we need your help, either say yes or no.

We came because we need your help, either say yes or no.

We need this boy.

and we'll pay his daily wage

What do you think?

No no no, with all due respect, he's too expensive.

What do you mean? How much is his rate?

- What are these? - 5000 L.E.

Oh my God!

Agreed.

Great! Yeah.

Give me the 5000. Leave her!

Don't ruin things!

5000, and by the way

Each one of you would leave me a piece of gold before you leave.

Each one of you would leave me a piece of gold before you leave.

Why?!

A souvenir!

Bless you, sweetie!

Let's go!

This is your first task.

Who is this?

Adel Darwish

A man, 53 years old, but retired.

He has one heir, a daughter living in Kuwait.

He has one heir, a daughter living in Kuwait.

He owns land in The Settlement, bought 15 years ago, and refuses to sell.

I need him to sign this document.

- What's this? - Just read it!

It's a land transfer document.

Someone named Makram Abu Al-Enein Mustafa.

Is your real name Makram?

Really!

How to make him sign?

I don't know, that's your problem.

And, Youmna, a killer like you would certainly know how to do anything.

This envelope has everything about him.

His phone number, address, who his friends are, where he normally goes.

What if I can't do it?

As we agreed

I'll give up the video.

I'll give up the video.

What are you doing?!

Calm down.

Who's this kid?

This child will tell us who knows where Sherief is.

Yeah!

Youmna.
