EPISODE 14

Come play with us. It's better than sitting like this.

-Get out of my face. -As you like.

Be careful, you didn't salute the boss.

What boss?

The boss, Abu Chahine Ghazi Sheikh Al Jabal.

He's the boss.

You need to obey him.

Look, prepare the kettle

so I can win and make you cry yourself to sleep.

-Tell me, Doctor. -Thank God, he's better now.

-When will he get back to normal? -Soon, hopefully.

I decreased the amount of medications. The nurse will take care of him.

In a couple of days, Sakher will get back to normal, better than before.

Hopefully, I hope you're right.

What will he do now?

Your brother is not good at school.

He doesn't like education. He's like his father and uncle.

-Will you give him what he wants? -What can I do?

Being under your uncle's protection is better than that of strangers.

Now, how is your relationship with your in-laws?

So bad.

This is not going to be over. Jabal's your husband and you're his wife.

-Give them a chance, my daughter. -There is no chance with such a marriage.

Think clearly. If Jabal didn't marry you, you would've married your cousin.

At least my cousin is a real man with principles.

I got married and he's still in love with me.

If I asked him to kill himself, he'd do it for me.

It's your decision, Mona. It's taking so long, am I right?

No, because what you're saying is related to my family.

I don't know how much it means to you.

What should be decided is our marriage, if that means anything to you.

Sure, but if you didn't support me with this problem, who would?

Problem? Are you aware of what you're saying?

Majdi, please understand me. You can choose any girl you like.

She'll accept to marry you without conditions.

Here I am, I'm not asking you for anything.

I'm going through some difficult times. You need to be considerate.

Until now, I can't understand what's the problem

of marrying a man like me?

I can't understand what qualities shall I have

to gain their admiration and satisfaction.

Circumstances play a role, the timing now is not right.

What shall I do? That's my luck.

-It's my luck. -What do you mean?

I mean that I'm passing by a minefield. I don't know if I'll escape it.

It's simple. You can escape now if you want.

-Mona, you misunderstood me. -No, I understand you perfectly.

There is no need to find excuses to embarrass both of us.

I swear that's not what I meant. I want to escape with you, not alone.

I want us to get out of there together. I'm ready to do anything you want.

Sit down.

-What is it, old man? -Nothing, sir.

Until now, there are no cars on the road.

-Isn't Chahine there? -Neither Chahine nor any of his men.

-Go back to the warehouse. -All right.

-Hello? -Stay away.

Stay as far away as possible.

-Who is this? -It doesn't matter.

What matters is how close I am to you.

Wherever you go, I'll be watching you.

And you're within my range.

You haven't seen anything yet.

Gross, he peed on the mattress. Help me to get him out.

-How gross, get him out. -It's fine, it's okay.

Let's go.

Let's go.

What time is it now?

Sorry, Mother-in-Law.

I don't have a watch.

As you know, since I entered this house, time has stopped.

Stop joking and tell me where you were.

Where would I be? I was at my mother's house.

Do you mind? Or do you want me to bring you two witnesses to prove it?

Are you going to go to your mother's house a lot?

We get it, when Jabal was in jail, we let you see her anytime you wanted.

But now, no. Your house and your husband need you more.

My husband? Right, my husband. Thanks for reminding me that I'm married.

Listen, Sumaya.

Jabal is a real man, no matter what you say.

Even if he's not here to see you,

his family worries about him and about his reputation.

I'm ready to kill anyone standing in his way.

Right, we need some coffee after that smell.

He's not done yet?

We should've entered with him. Do you know if he hurt himself?

-We'll pay for it. -It won't be worse than it is now.

Good for you.

-How is Chahine? -Nothing new.

-What do you think? -You know what I think, Abu Salma.

No one stands in my way. I'd kill whoever tries to hurt me.

Do you think he might hurt you?

Chahine is a coward, all he can do is talk.

Good.

I'll send word to the buyers. You prepare the cars and men.

-Stand by. Bye. -Bye.

Yes, Son, where are you?

Yes, all right. Is Abu Ali with you? All right, my son.

No, no. Take care, bye.

Before you talk to me and wait for me at the door,

you should know what's happening in your house, Mrs. Nahed.

Lower your voice and tell me what happened.

Nothing, but I can't leave anything in my house.

I mean, in my husband's house that you told me about before.

-What is it? -A golden necklace.

I left it in my room. I was gone for a couple of hours.

Now, I can't find it!

We don't have any thieves. There is no stranger here but you.

So, think clearly and look for it again. You'll find it.

I searched everywhere and didn't find it.

Maybe you are right,

I can't leave the house all the time with my stuff in here.

Or maybe I should lock the door while I'm gone.

HOSPITAL FOR MENTAL AND NEUROLOGICAL DISEASES

What's next?

What's next, Brother?

How long will you be in bed, leaving be alone outside?

Outside this house, there's no one I trust but you.

Get up.

Get up.

You're my brother.

Get up, let's fight everyone standing in our way.

Get up.

-Did you take another pen? -Yes, Mother, I did.

-I'll be late. -Stay until the end.

The watchers will get bored and let you cheat from someone.

No, I'm not going to cheat, there is no need.

Hope you'll pass, God bless you. Tell me when you finish.

-Yes, I will. -Bye.

Did you drink your coffee, Mother?

No, not yet. I'm preparing it.

-Count me in for it. -That's weird.

You're up early, unlike the usual.

Many things need to be changed, Mother.

Did anything happen that I don't know of?

Don't worry, you have nothing to do with it.

-So, there is something. -There is, but it's not your business.

I don't know what to tell you.

-What we predicted has occurred. -What do you mean?

Rengo, the one that replaced Jabal Sheikh Al Jabal.

That crazy man? What's wrong with him?

-He ran away. -They told you he's insane.

Please Um Ali, go get Mona. Let her eat breakfast with us

-if she's awake. -For sure.

Where is the snake? Doesn't she want to eat breakfast?

She's upset and angry.

Tell me.

What's the matter? What is upsetting her?

She said that she lost a golden necklace. She went mad yesterday.

A golden necklace? Is it hers or did we bring it to her?

There is no such thing. She's a liar. She wants to cause problems.

Welcome.

Hello, my dear. Hope you're all right.

-Is the tea cold yet? -My dear son.

Thank God you're all right, sweetheart. Thank God you're all right.

We've been worried about you.

I feel like I've been asleep for a year.

-By the way you look, you just might have. -Sit down, dear.

Sit down to eat something. You're getting thinner, sit down.

-What do you want me to get you? -Thank you.

What is it, you too? You didn't see anything?

If it was yours, you would've searched everywhere to know who stole it.

What's the matter with her?

God, give me patience.

Are you going to stay for long? When are you coming back?

How come you don't know, my daughter?

I mean, isn't there any reservation? Isn't there any plane tickets?

I swear, my dear Salma, I didn't mean anything.

I just want to make sure you're all right. Your sisters and I miss you.

Okay, okay, as you wish, as you wish.

If you need anything, call me.

All right, dear. Bye.

Martyrs are our sons of Akkar, not yours.

You are rich, you don't enlist in the army!

-Do not divide the country. -The sons of Akkar are dying in the army.

-Do not divide the country. -And we are providing you with security.

That too. The army is getting attacked.

He is talking about something else.

President, you just want to talk? But you don't have the right…

Welcome back.

-You're strong. -Hello, Mr. Jabal.

He refused to say a word before you came, Mr. Jabal.

Of course, it's a long story, we need to sit down.

I won't say a word until you give me your immunity.

You'll give me immunity from them because they'll laugh at me forever.

As you wish. The old man will prepare some tea

and you'll tell us the story from the beginning.

To the asylum!

See? They've started laughing at me.

-What's with you, old man? -My dear.

-Mrs. Nahed, Mrs. Nahed. -What is it, Um Ali?

Ms. Sumaya asked to search all the guards outside.

Why would we search them?

She said that who stole the necklace is someone inside the house.

If we don't find it today, she'll cause a scandal.

Go now.

-What's the matter? -Don't we have enough gold?

You want to cause a scandal? You sneaky daughter of Suleiman Al Saeed.

Do we need more gold to steal from you?

You want to search us? You greedy, impolite girl.

The family of Sultan Sheikh Al Jabal have enough gold for you and your family,

you lowlife!

Listen.

If I hear you shouting in this house

or if I hear that you talked badly about us in front of anyone. I swear…

I swear on Sultan's grave

that I'll cut off your tongue and make you swallow it.

I'll step on your head, with my slippers.

Alaa, take these men and leave.

Men are spread all over the field, sir.

Keep your eyes peeled. I don't want any mistakes.

No need, sir. We're always ready.

Hurry, send some men to that empty hill. Let them watch the road.

When the first car appears,

they'll inform you so you can move quickly.

Consider it done.

The buyers just called and said that the goods will be here tomorrow.

Great, I'll get my men ready.

On Thursday, the goods will be in Damascus.

Look.

-How long can we delay that? -Why, Abu Salma?

We've always delivered on time. We've never been late.

How much do you trust Ghazi's son?

I told you that I'll take care of Chahine. Why are you worried?

Do you know if we sent the cars and he sent them back,

what will happen to us?

He won't send them back, I guarantee that.

We're not going to stop our business for Chahine or Sheikh Al Jabal's family.

This time, we have a lot of goods and the profit is huge.

We don't want to waste it for nothing.

It won't, don't worry.

By the way, how is Salma?

When will she come back?

-Hello, my son. -Hello.

God bless you.

Shall I tell Najah to prepare dinner for you?

No, Mother, no. I had dinner, I'm full.

Tell me, what happened?

Mother, I need a lot more men in order to move.

If you're going to need Jawad now,

let him find someone he trusts to stay in the factory.

Forget about the factory now, Mother.

I'll pay the workers and close it for now. I need to clear my head so I can work.

As you like, you know everyone your father used to deal with.

If needed, your uncle would help.

It's no big deal, Mother. We just need some time.

May God help you with your problems and keep evil away from you.

Amen.

Speaking of evil, how is your daughter-in-law?

Good, she's been in her room all day. Did she find the necklace?

Did she find the necklace?

Yes, she found it in a box between her stuff, don't worry about it.

I was thinking about bringing her golden handcuffs.

Son, it's all right. Everything went well this time.

Sumaya is not very smart. The big pot contains the smaller one.

Mother, this big pot is full and will start to spill.

We also have a daughter that we're worried about.

As we tolerate their daughter, your sister will get married

and she'll find someone to worry about her and protect her.

The only person I'm worried about hurting your daughter is herself.

Everything can be solved, my son. Everything can be solved.

Look at your brother Sakher. God blessed us and he's healthy again.

You'll find him beside you, better than a hundred men.

Just calm down and focus on your work.

You have a lot of enemies. Everyone is watching you.

It's done, Um Jabal. Consider it done.

Do you know where my father used to hide his documents?

Yes, Son.

Your late father's documents, books, and the invoices of the warehouse

are all in the safe.

What about the bills?

They are with you, Son. Check where you've hidden them

All right.

-Eat something, Mr. Chahine. -I don't have the appetite, Ferreira.

How about you go rest a little?

I'm not going to rest until I see them myself.

We're all here, we won't move. If anything happens, I'll tell you.

I won't calm down until I stop these gangsters.

CALL LOG: NIDAL

You're really a man of habit. I can't eat before two or three hours.

I can't drink coffee or tea on an empty stomach.

So, eat breakfast now, then meet us at the cafe to drink a cup of tea.

-Your father isn't going to be there? -He'll be there, but he'll be late.

-Okay, I'll see and tell you. -All right, I'll see you later.

Aren't you going to tell me where you're taking me?

I'm talking to you.

You asked me more than once and I said, you'll know later.

-Good morning, Um Ali. -Good morning, girl.

-Where is everyone? -Sakher is still sleeping.

Mrs. Nahed will come to eat breakfast.

-I'll go and call Ms. Sumaya. -Good work.

Thanks.

-Good morning. -Good morning.

So?

Don't you have class today?

Yes, I do. The lecture starts at 11:00.

-Are you still seeing that man? -Yes, I'm seeing him.

So, nothing happened after your brother talked to him?

What should have happened, Mother? Do you know what your son did?

What did he do? He exposed him.

Your son Jabal tried to bribe Majdi.

Imagine. Your good son is treating me like a deal and negotiated with Majdi.

He'll pay him money to forget me.

Look Mona, Jabal isn't stupid.

From the first look, he knows if the person is straightforward or not.

Since he met you, Majdi has been trying to do something.

He wants to know what we have and what we own.

You know, Mother…

after everything that's happened to us…

we've lost our souls, we don't have mercy anymore.

I went to wake up Ms. Sumaya. I didn't find her in her room.

She might be in the garden.

I looked for her everywhere. I couldn't find her.

So, she went to her mother's house to learn some dirty tricks.

Like mother like daughter.

Come, madam.

I'm not getting out until you tell me where we are going.

Madam, please get out without causing a fuss.

Nidal?

Yes.

Nidal.

In the flesh.

Lots of flesh.
