EPISODE 20

How long will you stay like this?

Everyone is sitting idly and not saying a word.

Marwa… you're still new here and don't understand a thing.

I do understand.

I understand and feel that ever since I came to this house,

I brought all kinds of problems with me.

I apologize, I didn't mean that.

What does this have to do with you?

Those are old problems that need time to be solved.

I don't know.

I'm so distressed.

I wish I could do something, or even help with anything at all.

You just take care of yourself. Hopefully, everything will be solved.

Hopefully.

Do you want me to serve you breakfast?

I'll serve breakfast for everyone.

Get up and stop that childish attitude.

Get up and stop this crap. I don't need this.

Sit up straight.

Talk to me.

Look at me!

Why are you blaming me?

Because I did everything possible to keep him alive?

Or because you didn't know?

I was going to die of grief.

Yes. And do you think I was happy?

I was sitting between you two like a nurse.

I was desperate for one to open his eyes and the other to stand on his feet.

I saw death because of you two. Now you're doing this?

You should've told me.

You idiot. Chahine left us behind.

Chahine betrayed us.

If you don't care, go there and work with him and your uncle. Go!

As if I could.

You ruined everything, and now I have nothing left at your uncle's house.

I was supposed to be the son-in-law and look where I am now.

Why are you blaming me?

Have I ever refused your marriage to her?

Answer!

-Does it matter? -A lot.

When you see me stopping you, then come and blame me.

But your mother… neither you, nor me, nor anyone, can stop her.

Not because we can't, but because it's your duty.

To respect and honor her, till the end of your life.

Even if she was mistaken?

Even if she made the biggest mistake.

Get up!

Chahine is still asleep?

He's been at the warehouse since this morning.

What about Rima?

She has an appointment with the tailor to fix her wedding dress. Here.

How's the groom? Do you still like that boy?

You're the one I'm not liking.

You've been seated like this ever since you got out of jail.

Are you going to stay this way?

I'm going to lose my mind.

An entire month has passed and no one's come to have coffee with me.

People do what suits their interests.

Go back to work like before, and you'll see how they'll come running.

God bless Chahine. What did we have a boy for?

He's man enough, shouldn't he be the one

working after all these years?

Didn't you hear what he said in front of Al Hayba's people?

To this day, your son still cares for his cousins.

You're mistaken, from that day onwards he stopped seeing them.

-He didn't even go near them! -You said it.

He didn't even go near them.

How will you get ahead

if the Sultan's sons control everything and no one goes near them?

I've waited for you for years, Ghazi.

Toughen up and go see what's happening.

Have you called your father?

He's coming. He's talking to the men outside.

Give the gentleman a knife and a fork. He finally agreed to eat with us.

Next time, listen to me when I tell you something,

or else I'll let your brother handle you.

Where's my mother?

Good!

Now I feel more like eating.

Correct.

-Hello, Son. -Hello.

Pass me the eggs, Son.

-What's wrong, Mona? -Nothing, don't worry.

How are you? Good?

How did you stay so long without talking to me or asking about me?

Or is it now that you no longer need Mona?

What are you saying, Mona? I swear you're the only one on my mind.

But our situation has been messy ever since my father got out of jail.

Chahine, I didn't come here to hear that.

Mona, why are you attacking me?

Because I'm losing my mind for you and you couldn't care any less.

All right, shall we start over? Hello.

-Hello. -What's on your mind, Mona?

Chahine, this is our last chance to build a relationship.

Or else we'll lose it forever.

So, are you ready?

What?

You should know that it was so hard to get you out.

Mr. Zeidan put all his efforts to get you out on the pretext

of good behavior.

It's a very big debt and you should know how to repay it.

No doubt that you'll go through tough times.

But you'll overcome it.

Jabal failed and Jamal committed a mistake.

And all eyes are going to be on you.

We have to protect you and give you everything you need to take charge.

The times of young power have come to an end.

Now, you're out and you're in charge.

I think you understand me.

Still the same?

It's enough, isn't it?

Come with me, let's go eat together on the beach.

The only place I'll go to is to the airport and alone.

Is something wrong with you? Have you lost it?

Where's the Nour Rahma that used to plan, look ahead, and follow her interests?

You killed her, buried her, and left her with nothing.

This means we're there. Now, we're getting each other.

I wish you'd understand, act correctly, and leave me alone!

I wish, but I can't.

It seems that I love you.

Don't let me hear you say those words again.

It's disgusting! You look so ugly when you say them!

Do you see the situation you're in?

I did all that while loving you. What if I hated you?

Can you imagine what might happen to you?

Come on, faster.

-Did anyone talk to you? -As you see, they're staring at us.

-Where's Chahine? -He hasn't arrived yet.

Mr. Ghazi is waiting for him in the warehouse.

It seems like this time they want trouble.

Let them be, it's their land, and they're free with it.

I'll deploy the men over the land to guard it.

No, no, don't worry.

If they wanted to come near us, you wouldn't have seen this.

The message is, "Don't harm us and we won't harm you"

Check who is at the door.

I'm coming!

-Mona! -Um Ali!

How are you? I've missed you so much.

-Where's my mother? -Come in.

Where is our lady? My dear mother.

Hello, daughter, God bless you.

Give me a kiss! Oh, my dear mother!

What's wrong? You're suffocating me!

I've missed you, Mother. I've missed you.

I've missed you all. Where are my brothers?

What did you cook today, Um Ali? I'm starving!

May we always see you here!

I almost killed you.

How did you find the warehouse, Father-in-law? I organized it myself.

I'm your father-in-law at home. Over here, I'm Master Ghazi.

-Yes, sir. -Get up, make me a cup of tea!

I'm worried they'll hit each other, chief.

No, I don't think so. Jabal and Chahine understand each other.

And each one is controlling his men.

Chahine has changed, he's forgotten that his father is here.

So, what? We're all with Mr. Ghazi.

-What's with this talk now? -Abu Ahmad, your own flesh and blood.

Your son got himself ready and went to work with him.

You've closed your shops and left your clients to come and mess with me?

I don't need this! Go to your shop.

Youssef!

Is that right, Abu Ahmad?

You heard it right, chief.

Jalal and his friend manipulated him and took him with them.

Shame! Why did he get himself into this mess?

That's why I'm irritated.

I'm worried things will go wrong again and my son will take the blame.

I don't understand you. What does this have to do with that?

I couldn't believe that it worked.

I did the impossible to get their approval to marry their daughter.

Once I settled in, Ghazi got out of prison and Chahine out of his grave.

Are you going to keep on nagging? You should obey him.

More than that?

Didn't you see me today preparing his coffee?

It's okay, you're now his son-in-law and he needs you.

Mr. Ghazi is bringing people to him. He won't lose someone like you.

That's resolved.

My problem is with Chahine.

-He can't stand me. -Indeed, this cannot be solved.

So, avoid him and stay close to Mr. Ghazi.

Abu Ali is right.

We are one family, we don't want anyone to gossip about us.

After all…

that's our problem and we should know how to solve it.

We're here for you, sir.

Work will stay as it was before.

Those who want to stay with us…

we'll gladly work with them.

Those who want to work with my uncle, let them, we won't oblige anyone.

But if your uncle's men come near us, we won't show any mercy.

-I won't budge. -No one will come near us.

This is a cold war. That's how your uncle wants it.

You know your uncle already. How can you trust him?

Because if I sense any kind of betrayal…

I swear… I'll ignite the fire myself.

Every time I see you, you're talking about work

and its problems.

You don't want to welcome me, brother?

Welcome you?

What are you saying?

Come.

This is your house. And this is your seat.

As you said, she couldn't stay away from us.

Neither did we, Jabal. Mona, is this family's jewel.

God bless you, brother.

There's a man waiting for you, sir.

I was about to call you to come have dinner.

I want to say a few words and I hope you'll listen till the end.

All right, what's wrong? Now I'm worried.

Father, things with my cousins have calmed down and passed.

Each one went his way and no one is messing with the other.

Our work is going back to normal, and even getting better.

So, everything you wanted has happened.

Cut it short, Chahine. What do you want?

I want to marry my cousin, Mona.

Ever since your name and problems appeared, Nour has been worried.

That was obvious to Tharwat.

He tried to do everything, but didn't achieve anything.

This led him to look for proof.

Until he made sure you were in a relationship.

He made sure?

Yes, he had doubts.

What's the proof?

A ring he gave her as a gift.

They found it next to your bed in the house you were hiding in.

All right.

What happened… afterwards?

Did he hurt her?

Not only did he hurt her.

He destroyed her work and closed every door in her face.

She couldn't walk on the streets anymore due to all the scandals he'd fabricated.

No need to tell you about Tharwat, his status, and power,

and what he's capable of doing.

Anyway, when she felt that she lost her work and reputation,

she decided to travel and Tharwat lost his mind.

I don't get you.

He prevented her from travelling.

On her way to the airport, he kidnapped her and locked her up.

What are you saying?

She's still in the country? Where is she now?

Don't worry, she's still alive.

Abu Ali!

Gather the men outside.

Faisal! Alaa! Firas! Gather the men outside!

Isn't it strange that you came to me yourself?

Pardon me, but why should I trust you…

while you're his right hand?

Don't trust me. You can check on your own.

But I can't do anything precisely because I'm his right hand.

I'll be punished for every move I make. That's why…

I couldn't find anyone but you to confront him.

We closed this chapter long ago. You want to reopen it now?

Ghazi, why are you silent? Say something.

What do you want me to say?

Your son forgot what they did to us and wants us to lose respect.

I haven't forgotten but she has nothing to do with that.

She always stood against her mother and brother.

Even her marriage was because of me.

That is Nahed Omran's daughter. Do you know what that means?

You want to bring the Sheikh's daughter and put her in my house

and make her my daughter-in-law?

So, what? Even if she's her daughter.

I'm Jabal's cousin, and my father is the Sultan's brother.

The kinship has nothing to do with this.

Mother, Mona will stay with me till the end.

She confronted everyone for me and you.

Enough, enough.

You're talking nonsense!

Listen well. I love Mona and she loves me!

I'll marry her and she'll become the mother of my children.

That's a fact.

I won't leave her no matter what.

So, if you want me, you'll want her too.

Or else I'll leave and never see you again!

Rudy!

Don't tell me you're still asleep.

Rudy.

Where are you, beautiful?

Here I am.

Turn the lights on, Abu Ali!

Write this down, Ali.

I, the undersigned, pledge not to come near…

Ms. Nour Rahme… in any way.

If any harm…

befalls her. You'll fix it later.

Befalls her, I'll take full responsibility.

This is my signature.

Tharwat Fakhreddine.

Come here.

Go ahead and sign.

You fell from grace and came to your own death.

That's right, but why?

You think yourself a hero looking for his lover?

That stupidity happens over there in Al Hayba, not here.

I know very well what I have.

I also know very well what you have.

Do you think that everyone is the same?

Since you're living your life freely doing whatever you want…

why are you messing up and acting stubborn? Tell me.

Answer me.

Tell me, what do you want?

Tomorrow at this time… my phone will ring.

Nour will be talking to me from a street.

In the middle of Beirut, amongst people.

Over my dead body.

Over your dead body or many other dead bodies.

That's what will happen.

If you want to risk your life, stand in front of this girl.

You still don't know me. I'm willing to start a war with you.

No.

War is my thing… not yours.

You stay with your papers, meetings, and those small matters.

I'm telling you this

because this isn't good for your reputation.

Don't dare me. I'm warning you.

What is that?

You've dyed your hair differently this time.

It's blue and almost purple.

You don't have a lot of time. Go ahead.

I don't know if this meat is enough or not.

Um Ali, are you okay?

I'm worried about them. They left in the middle of the night.

We haven't heard from anyone yet.

Be patient, hopefully everything's okay, don't worry.

Hopefully.

How many boxes till now?

Thirteen boxes, eight are left.

Well done, men.

How's work, sir?

It's good.

If you don't like the men. I'll hit them all.

Really? What am I doing here? Calm down and do your work, Sami.

Chahine, I'm with you till death. You've always stood by your cousins.

You never dealt with anyone else.

You didn't give yourself a chance to see who's with you and who's against you.

-Don't talk about my cousins. -Yes, I will.

I'm your brother-in-law and like your brother.

It's my duty to stand beside you.

Listen, where did you come from? I never heard about you.

Suddenly, you jumped in in my absence.

Now you keep following me and talking.

And you've done everything for us. Isn't it a bit weird?

I told you that we'll become family.

You'll become my children's uncle, Chahine.

What more do you need to trust me?

What? Damn!

-What are you planning to do now? -I'm thinking of calling General Shaker.

Pardon me, but what will you tell him?

Will you tell him that we kidnapped her, and he's threatening us?

And then you have to tell him where he threatened you and who was he with.

Mr. Tharwat, this is Jabal Sheikh. Al Jabal can't be messed with.

I'm worried things will get worse.

Do you want my opinion?

I feel like this isn't important and isn't worth the headache.

Excuse me.

They're not answering?

They weren't answering and now they're hanging up on me.

Hopefully, it's all well. Drink this and you'll calm down.

How will I calm down if I don't know where my sons are?

-I'm worried they'll get stuck again! -Hopefully not.

This is all Abu Ali's fault. He usually calls and updates us.

Hello? Why aren't you answering, brother? We're worried.

Where is Jabal?

Where are you? What's happening?

All right, but keep me updated because your mother is so worried.

-Goodbye, goodbye. -Was that Sakher?

Yes, he said they're okay and not to worry.

He didn't tell you where they are or what they're doing?

You know your sons, Mother. They don't reveal anything.

But they seem okay.

Thank God!

As I told you, keep your eyes open. I don't want any mistakes.

You're authorized to do anything, if necessary.

So, Master? It's dark and we still haven't heard any news.

I agree with Abu Ali. It's time to take action.

I think you should stay here.

We'll enter and finish the job, and then you'll follow us.

No, we can't do that. We'll enter together with the master.

-Yes, but the problem is-- -Enough, Son.

I told you we can't do that. Enough!

Hello?

Proverbs are really meaningful.

I told you to take my advice.

"An advice is precious."

You made the mistake of your life, but you'll pay for it later.
