EPISODE 26

Hello? How are you?

I just got the chance to call you.

I don't have a lot of time to talk. Listen to me carefully.

Can you tell me what's going on with you?

-What's the matter, mother? -Who is this?

He's our friend, don't worry about him.

Chahine, don't lie to me. Who is this person?

He's the one who brought us here.

He's the reason for all our misfortune. Pray for me to find him so I can kill him.

What's wrong? What happened?

I lost my balance.

You're always out of balance. What is it? What's gotten into you?

Are you worried about me?

What do you think?

Answer me, I want to know.

What is this nonsense? Why are you doing this?

I want you to love me.

Good night.

THE CAR OF BUSINESSMAN TAIMOR TAJEDDINE HAS BEEN RECOVERED SAFELY

-How? -Jabal Sheikh Al Jabal took care of it.

He brought the car back without letting us interfere.

He thinks he's the government and can do things on his own.

-Okay, the car is finally back. -I didn't expect you to say that.

I told you before, he is better than other people.

At least, there is nothing to fear with him unless we try to hurt him.

I'm leaving, do you want anything?

No, thanks. Are you going to see your mother?

Yes, we're going to see a gynecologist. She heard about a good one.

-We'll see. -Please, don't make her worry.

We can't do anything. It's all according to God's will.

Sure.

-All right then, goodbye. -Goodbye.

I wish you the best.

-Take her. -Thanks, Daaboul.

Calm down, take your medicine. We don't want you to get ill.

What are you talking about? I am still young.

He's carefree.

-That girl will be the end of him. -Stop envying him.

You didn't boil it enough, it needs more time.

As you please.

Where is Sakher?

Where is he?

Hello, daughter, what's the matter? Why are you angry?

May I know who told your son to hit Majdi?

Can you tell me what's going on with you? When is it going to end?

-Am I doomed to have problems all my life? -Don't raise your voice!

Don't raise your voice and shut up!

She's your mother, not your stupid Majdi!

Come in, Fadi.

-Where's my father? -He's not here yet.

You know, things happened so fast. I didn't expect that.

But I'm very optimistic

-Good morning. -Sit down.

Where is your wife?

Aren't you supposed to be on your honeymoon?

I'm sorry, I don't know him. Who is this gentleman?

You'll know everything in time.

Sorry, I don't understand you.

If you want to kill someone, don't shoot him near the window.

Know why?

So that when the bullet goes out of the victim's head…

it doesn't break the glass and splatter blood everywhere.

If you bring a pillow like this and put it on his face…

it's less noisy. It's neater and simpler.

This is the first lesson.

Fadi, Fadi, talk to me.

Fadi, calm down.

What are you?

-Who do you think you are? -Your brother-in-law.

Did you forget that I've become a member of this family?

Was Foufou upset?

Good morning.

You're defending him because you did everything to marry him.

You're embarrassed to talk about that, I understand.

But we won't let him hit you. We can't ignore that.

That's why your brother went there and beat him.

He kept on beating him until he learned the proper traditions.

Mother, Majdi is my husband. He's responsible for me

No, it's not your call.

You are the responsibility of men who protect you and preserve your dignity.

Not a sleazy man like that who dared to hit you.

He's your brother.

He hit him in front of people. What did that worm do?

He did something. He came back to you crying, like a baby.

If you care about my dignity, you'll respect my husband.

Hopefully we'll pay respect at his funeral.

Don't speak!

How stupid!

Instead of thanking your brothers, you come here to blame them?

What did you want? Tell me, what did you want?

You wanted your husband to hit you as if you have no one to support you?

Did I complain? Did I ask you to do that?

God, give me patience.

Listen.

I've been trying to understand you.

So stop talking about that. Otherwise, I'll interfere.

Don't bother, brother!

Neither you nor anyone else can interfere in my life or in my relationship.

This is my problem and I'd like to solve it.

No, it's not your call.

You're from the Sheikh Al Jabal family and Jabal's sister.

So what?

So, control your husband and don't let him cross the line.

Otherwise… prepare your black clothes. Another mistake will make you a widow.

Get out.

Why aren't you moving?

-Can I leave? -What do you want?

Where would you go?

Just let me go.

Why are you afraid?

Look, please, let me go. Tell them that I ran away.

Nonsense. Don't ruin my day.

I'm telling you that for your sake too, not just mine.

Come on, get out.

Come on.

Go in, come on.

Make yourself at home.

Abboud, right?

Welcome.

Welcome, you scumbag.

What is this?

Who are you?

-Why are you here? -You need to calm down.

One thing at a time.

What's going on here? I'm supposed to ask that, not you.

Who am I? I'm this girl's fiancé.

Why am I here? That is the most important question.

Honestly, I don't want to waste your time.

I came here…

to stab you with this knife, you animal!

Thank you.

-Good morning. -Good morning.

I don't know if you remember me. I came here a while ago, and I took this.

-Yes, I remember. -Please, I want four boxes.

Okay.

Sorry, there are only two boxes.

But I drove all the way here. I need four boxes.

Believe me, there aren't any. I checked. I only have two boxes.

I'm sorry to intrude, ma'am.

I don't recommend this as long-term medication.

With time, the chances of getting pregnant will decrease.

Thanks a lot.

-You're welcome. -Thanks.

Do you know what we've done? We killed that man, we killed him!

I know we did, sit straight, Marwa. What's wrong with you?

I don't want to sit straight.

-If anyone sees us, what's gonna happen? -I know what will happen.

But maybe you don't!

-Calm down, calm down. -Oh, God.

-Doshka, isn't that Abboud's car? -It is, but who's driving the car?

Wait, drive fast. They'll follow us. Quickly!

Go after him, hurry!

Faster.

Let me help you.

Do you think I'm happy to deal with all of this?

Nothing made you do this.

What?

Say something.

I challenged my family to marry you.

Do you know what I did to convince them about you?

Do you know what happened between me and my brother, Jabal?

Between me and my mother?

I fought so they'd accept to have you.

I did everything to make them approve of our marriage.

I'm talking to you, look at me!

Today, I challenged them for the second time.

For what?

For you. For your sake.

Can you imagine? After what you did to me,

I went and yelled at my family today.

My family who's defending me.

Who's trying to restore the dignity you offended!

You ask why I am doing all of this? And you tell me nothing made me do this?

Okay, I appreciate it. I won't ever forget it.

Is that good? Do you feel better?

Are you mocking me?

If you had any sympathy at all you would've known what made me do this

You would've known on your own.

You would've punished yourself

if you knew what made me do it.

Where did he go?

I don't know.

But it seems that we have a problem and we'll have to deal with it.

Quick, call the boss. Let's see what he says.

Abboud, Abboud!

Where is Salma? I didn't see her.

She's in her room. She doesn't want to eat.

What's wrong with her?

Is she sick?

Yes, Doshka?

What's the matter? Calm down so I can understand.

What are you saying?

Where are you?

-I'm coming. -What's the matter? What happened?

That bum Abboud was killed.

It's you.

-How are you, Auntie? -I'm good.

Where is Rima?

She didn't come back. She's still on campus.

When will she finish her classes?

What do you want, Sakher?

How could you leave without knowing what's going on, Fadi?

At least, give me a chance to explain so you can understand everything.

Fadi, please. Hear me out, please.

Okay.

No, it's all right. Don't worry.

No, I'm not upset.

No problem, it's not a big deal anymore.

Okay, bye.

What's the matter, Salma? Who were you talking to?

Fadi's flight to Paris is tomorrow morning.

He's leaving me, the project and everything.

What's the matter, Rima?

You're still a freshman.

You haven't forgotten who you are yet.

What does that have to do with anything? Do you know what you did?

You hit an instructor. Do you know what that means?

He's your instructor, not mine.

Look Sakher, don't drive me crazy.

It's a problem if someone hits a student. What about hitting an instructor?

I made a mistake, I ask for your forgiveness.

I'll drop out for you. But what about us?

How long are you going to avoid me and ignore my calls?

Until you can think straight.

-Is that all you've got? -Does it bother you?

Yes, Hawlo, what happened?

Where is Abboud now?

Listen.

Have your men bury him in secret.

The elections are tomorrow. I don't want any trouble.

Think hard, every detail is important.

I swear boss, there's nothing out of the ordinary.

These things don't happen out of the blue.

She thought it through and didn't care about anything.

I'm losing my mind.

This little girl, who'd ever think she'd kill someone and run away?

She's not alone, someone helped her.

My men saw her running away with a guy, a big guy.

I swear, none of the girls get out of the house or make phone calls.

How would she contact anybody? Tell me.

I don't know, ask yourself. Think hard and remember everything.

Otherwise, I'll make you remember.

Take this, Marwa.

You haven't eaten anything.

What should I do?

I'm afraid I'll regret running away. Can you believe that?

I don't know how to thank you enough.

You don't have to be with someone like me.

And tolerate all this because of me.

You're a man.

You can have a new start.

But what shall I do?

Where would I go?

Should I stay here and let someone else use me again?

Or shall I go back to Damascus bearing all this dark history in my life?

That is, if I find someone alive in Damascus to take me in.

And who'd forgive me for something I didn't do.

I didn't do it. I'm not to blame for this.

You are so beautiful.

-Get out of my face. -Why are you angry?

Did you fight with Foufou?

You made Fadi run away.

It doesn't suit him to be where you are.

Is that why you're upset?

Do you love him? Are you in love with him?

It's none of your business.

Do you think you're a member of this family

and you can interfere with my life?

No, you don't know me well enough.

That's what's killing me.

I'd do anything to know everything about you.

-Let me go, or I'll wake up everyone. -Who will protect you? Your old father?

You think I'm afraid of him? I can ruin your life!

No, you won't.

Don't play with that, girl. You'll hurt yourself.

Chahine, I don't get it. Did something happen?

Not yet, but Al Hayba is not stable. We don't know what might happen.

But I promised my friends I'd go out with them.

Postpone it.

How is that?

What shall I do with my classes and university?

-How strange, didn't Sakher tell you? -He didn't tell me.

-Did something happen between you two? -We had another fight.

-What's the reason this time? -I've told him many times

not to come to the university and embarrass me in front of my friends.

He came and hit the instructor in front of everyone.

Is he jealous of the instructor?

No, he did it for his sister.

What does Mona have to do with it?

He came and hit her husband in front of everyone.

He kept on hitting him. I thought he'd killed him.

-What's wrong, Chahine? -Nothing. You didn't know why?

I don't care. I can't tolerate him anymore.

He's crazy, he doesn't think!

Change your clothes and rest today, go.

FOR YOUR RIGHTS, VOTE FOR NAZEM AL ALI

YOUR VOICE, NAZEM AL ALI

The number of voters will be high this year.

Voting centers across the country seem to indicate that change is coming.

YOUR VOICE, NAZEM AL ALI

What's happening, Mr. Hawlo? Where is everyone?

-It's just what it looks like. -What it looks like?

I can see what it looks like, can you? Is there a curfew?

Where is everyone? Are people working with or against me?

I don't understand!
