It's ok.

As I said before, Your Honour. The gun…

Has become useless, and can be…

Considered a toy gun.

Mr. Nadim, you've said the same thing over 20 times.

Do you have anything new to add?

Personally, I sincerely wish

you've got nothing else to say.

I rest my case!

Are you shouting at me?

Take a seat.

Take a seat.

Oh! And I request the immediate release…

Of your client, due to lack of evidence.

That's correct.

Congratulations, Nadim. Or should I say, Mr. Nadim, now?

No, just Nadim is fine.

-Congratulations, Nadim! -Thank you, Amani.

-Congratulations, Nadim. -Thank you.

Congratulations, Nadim. You've done a great job.

Thank you.

Congratulations, man. Let me kiss you.

No, the second cheek will get sad.

Oh Ezz, I don't like getting kissed.

You look dashing. You've got a new robe; I've rubbed off on you.

You look dashing. You've got a new robe; I've rubbed off on you.

A nice shirt, and your hair looks good.

You know, my hair was softer when I was young.

Really?

So was my hair, I don't know what the shampoo I'm using did to me.

What shampoo are you using?

You're working on the case

I want to tell you that you make very optimistic.

Because our office has been growing bigger and better since you've joined.

We're optimistic about you too, boss.

You know what, Ezz?

You specifically make me a pessimist.

But I can't help it! You're good at your job!

It's a love-hate relationship.

Relationship?

You know what, Ezz?

What is it, Boss?

Shut up.

I have two good news.

I have two good news.

The first one,

is that I decided to take two of you to work with us,

-not just one

The second news.

That there is an important businessman who is a client of ours,

that decided to transfer all his work to us.

He'll bring all his cases from other lawyers to us.

Who is it, Amani?

Mohamed El Wakil

I'm not asking for my rights, but for the rights of my fatherless son.

I'm not asking for my rights, but for the rights of my fatherless son.

And how do we know he's Ahmed’s son? May he rest in peace.

I'm not dignifying that with an answer.

Goodness gracious.

God will avenge us.

Get out of here.

Get out of here.

I'll get out.

But I'm taking back what's owed to my son. And I'll get him the best lawyer.

May God punish you, Mohamed. I'll show you.

May God punish you, Mohamed. I'll show you.

I want you to toughen up and focus on your work.

-You can't barge in, Mrs. Soha.

It's okay, Mona. You can go.

How are you, Soha?

Guys, this is Soha. She was a client of mine.

She suddenly decided to stop working with us.

Because she didn't like how I spoke to her.

Go ahead.

I'm in huge trouble and no one else can help me.

Okay. Go ahead and tell us what happened.

Okay. Go ahead and tell us what happened.

Can we talk in private?

We can't talk in private.

These people are here to help you.

So, either talk or leave.

What happened?

I'm accused of killing my husband.

You got married?

Yes.

What a loss!

When?

Two years ago.

Continue.

The police entered our apartment and found my husband hanged in the bathroom.

The police entered our apartment and found my husband hanged in the bathroom.

He hanged himself, so why are you accused?

The thing is, that the small bathroom has nothing he could stand on.

No chair, no bathtub, or anything.

Like an empty room, you mean?

Yes.

So, he didn't hang himself. Someone did that to him.

There are no fingerprints other than his and mine.

The police are looking for me now and I don't know what to do.

Mrs. Soha, did any neighbor see you go out?

We were arguing half an hour before, and the neighbors got involved.

But he kicked them out.

Okay, I think it's a simple matter.

We’ll check your whereabouts, verify it, and you'll be cleared.

We’ll check your whereabouts, verify it, and you'll be cleared.

You can't do that.

My parents are provincial and would kill me.

Were you cheating on him?

Were you cheating on him, Soha?

Where do you live, Soha?

I mean, what jurisdiction?

Nasr City's First Police Department.

Good evening, Mr. Essam.

Yes, this is Amani Al-Najjar.

I have a defendant here and she wants to turn herself in.

What are you doing?

That's right.

Thank you. I'll be waiting for you.

It's okay, you'll turn yourself in until we clear you out.

I can't go to prison.

Sorry, but you'll have to bear it.

You're not really doing this.

Soha! You have only two solutions.

Soha! You have only two solutions.

Either trust me and turn yourself in.

Or go to that other lawyer you've hired before.

And I'm not going to ask you why he didn't accept this case.

Okay.

Move it, dude.

My God, Amani holds quite the grudge.

Did you see how happy she got when she learned of Soha's cheating?

-Good evening! -Mr. Yassir.

-How are you Khaled?

-How are you, sir? -How are you?

Welcome.

Amani is on a call.

Would you like me to get her?

No, it's okay. I'll wait for her here.

No, it's okay. I'll wait for her here.

Okay.

If I'm bothering you, I could leave.

No, it's okay. You can stay, sir.

Sir? I'm not that old, you know.

No need for sir.

-My name is Yassir

We've really missed you, sir.

Is he your fiancé?

No.

Are you close friends?

Not at all.

Why don't you respect your colleague and give her some space?

You know what? Just leave.

You know what? Just leave.

I'm sorry, sir. Sorry, Ramallah.

Please forgive me.

I shouldn't have done that.

Sorry this happened in your presence,

but I had to say something.

It's okay, I can't even stand him.

Let's forget about him. Tell me.

Have you ever heard any of my soundtracks, Ramallah?

Honestly, no.

Well, I've something strange to tell you.

What is it?

The day before I first met you,

I was working on a soundtrack called Ramallah.

I was working on a soundtrack called Ramallah.

And you've got the name for it when you met me?

Before I met you.

Now, I'll have to listen to it.

That's what I thought.

Write down you number.

And I'll send it to you over WhatsApp when it's done.

Have you been waiting for long?

No.

Just five minutes.

Let's have lunch together.

Bye.

Bye, Yassir.

Five more minutes and she would have been using a pet name.

Well, you've stopped using it. Come on.

Nadim!

Where are you going?

Library.

Library.

I can take you, it’s in my direction.

Okay.

Here you go.

What is this?

The circus case we won.

The circus owner sent us these invites.

Do you want to go?

No.

Okay, I'll get my bag and meet you outside.

What's wrong, Nadim?

What are you thinking about?

Many things at the same time.

Well, why don't we do what we used to?

We can split them up, so you're not distracted.

You're right.

Does the will have a deadline for execution?

Does the will have a deadline for execution?

There is no specific time, but the important thing is to execute it.

What is the specific part you want to do first?

It has a lot of parts.

Mom said I want you to be a good lawyer.

I want you to love and be loved.

I know what your mom said.

What do you want to start with?

I don't know the order.

Can I love and be loved now, before I become a good lawyer

or do I have to be a good lawyer, then love and be loved?

Wait, wait.

What's your deal with love?

What's your deal with love?

There's no deal.

What do you know about love, Jamil?

Love is affection, fondness, arguments, and reconciliation.

A bit of everything, as said by the great woman.

Your mom said that?

No, not my mom. I mean the signer, Umm Kulthum.

I know her.

How do I know I'm in love?

When you're thinking of someone all the time.

Then you love them for sure.

Then you love them for sure.

Tell me more.

When you find that person invading all your activities.

You're thinking about them when you're working, or driving.

When you're eating, or even in the bathroom.

That's love.

Just like tough cases?

Exactly, it's a tough case indeed.

Just like tough cases.

You laughed I didn't get a point, what will you do next?

Asmaa, you've acted in a movie called Tiller, right?

- Tiller. -

I'm Tilling you, I love you.

What an awful pickup line!

What an awful pickup line!

Oh, my dear friend.

Mr. Rafat, you were the closest person to the deceased

You must know his enemies for sure, and who would do this.

May God forgive me. I just don't want to implicate anyone.

Mr. Rafat, we are not the prosecutors.

We're lawyers and we're here to help. So, talk to us.

Okay, I'll talk.

He was always fighting with his wife.

He was always fighting with his wife.

They argued every day. She made his life a living hell.

She was a despicable woman.

This is very difficult for me. I can't.

Hey, Mohsen, get me a cup of coffee.

May God have mercy on you, my friend. May God forgive you.

He had no kids.

She's the only one set to inherit him.

Sir, we've information that the victim left you a quarter of his wealth.

Who are you? Is he with you?

Ezz El-Dekheila, detective.

Excuse me, then.

Excuse me, then.

-Sit down.

Get me a cup of tea.

I'm indeed a detective, but I'm here to have a friendly chat.

So, pay attention.

Whatever you say, sir.

I think anyone would be right to suspect you first.

I swear to God.

I knew nothing about the will before his death.

Why do you think he left you a quarter of his wealth?

It's a normal thing, he has no one to inherit him.

I’m his best friend.

His wife was giving him hell, and that made their life unbearable.

His wife was giving him hell, and that made their life unbearable.

What else?

And his wife was… May God forgive me.

Speak up, Rafat. Don't worry. I've got your back.

Okay, sir.

He would always say he was arguing with his wife.

He suspected that she had been unfaithful.

Bite your tongue, Rafat. You can't talk like that about your friend's wife.

My friend's wife!

She never cared about our friendship!

You know what, sir, she even tried to seduce me.

Rafat!

You'll be in serious trouble if you're lying to me.

Drinks on you.

Since you're getting a fortune, you lucky guy.

Please come with me.

Hey!

Are you hiding from Ezz?

Are you hiding from Ezz?

Yeah, he's so chatty.

He's not the only one.

That soundtrack, did Yassir send it to you?

How did you know?

Stay away from Yassir, Ram.

He's infamous.

Come on, Abeer.

There's nothing between us.

I don't care if there was.

It's just an advice because I care about you.

And I was in the same situation before.

What do you mean in my same situation?

Never mind.

If Amany knew that something happened between you two,

she is not going to be lenient with you. You don't know her.

Okay, thanks.

Tell me, Ram.

What do you like the most about a man?

Toxicity, of course.

I don't know really.

But all those I've loved before were toxic.

But I'm not naive, just so you know.

I can only be played if I want to.

I can only be played if I want to.

I've been through a lot, Abeer.

Have I ever told you how I came here from Syria?

and I'll never tell you

Because I don't like pity and I don't want anyone to feel pity for me.

Hey Ramallah!

Can you make me a small cup of tea with five teaspoons of sugar?

I'll go to the bathroom first.

-Five teaspoons? -Yes.

If Abeer is making it, then just let her dip her finger.

I'm honored, sir, to be your only lawyer.

I still don't believe it.

That I'm thinking of canceling my cases and handling only your business.

Amani, do you know why I did this?

Because your lawyer has lost five cases.

But do you know out of how many cases?

52 cases.

how did you know?

I have people working with me that I call, my call center.

I have people working with me that I call, my call center.

They're not at my office.

But when I'm going to meet someone as important as you,

I call them and ask for info, and they give me what I need.

Amani!

I'm not willing to lose another case.

Sir.

You're talking to Amani Al-Najjar.

The best lawyer in Egypt.

But certainly not the oldest.

Sir, I only have one request.

Sir, I only have one request.

You can get in as much trouble as you like.

And don't worry about a thing.

We want to make a living, after all, sir.

I really like that whole call center thing.

What is this?

Is this the box containing one million pounds?

No, this box has something else.

What is in it, Nadim?

It's a birthday gift for Ramallah.

Is it your birthday today?

Yes, but Nadim, how did you know?

From the job application when you were applying at the office.

Aren't you slick?

What's going on, guys?

Nothing, it's Ramallah's birthday.

Really! Happy birthday!

Thank you.

Thank you.

What is it?

Oh, my goodness, it's a turtle.

But it's really slow.

Did you like it?

Yeah, it's really cute, Nadim.

Choose a color.

-Happy Birthday to You. -Ramallah!

-Happy Birthday to You. -Ramallah!

-Happy Birthday to You. -Ramallah!

Happy Birthday to You

-Let's dance! -No.

We have to say it four times.

We're sorry, sorry.

Let's do it again.

-Happy Birthday to You. -Ramallah!

-Happy Birthday to You. -Ramallah!

Happy Birthday to You.

What's with all the noise?

What's with all the noise?

Come on, we have a meeting.

It's Ramallah's birthday, Amani.

I said we have a meeting

What about the cake? I never saw one before.

Nadim!

Thank you, very much.

You’re welcome.

Happy Birthday to you.

Happy Birthday to you.

What are your findings?

Well, when we talked to his friend Rafat,

he told us that he suspected his wife and that she certainly did this

And you, Nadim, what did you find out?

Nothing, I wasn't thinking about the case.

I hope there’s a good reason for that.

I was busy the past two days, so I didn't think about the case.

Are you working for someone else or something?

No, I was thinking about Ramallah's birthday gift.

No, I was thinking about Ramallah's birthday gift.

Listen up.

You're not working in an amusement park.

You have exactly two days.

If there's no breakthrough with the case, you'll be out of here.

And this goes for all of you. We're not at a club.

And this goes for all of you. We're not at a club.

We're not here to make friends.

If one of you leaves, no one else would care.

And let me remind you again.

We're here to work and get paid, that's it.

Sorry for bringing you all the way to October.

I know it's a long journey.

I know it's a long journey.

It's okay.

My grandmother used to always say that hearing good music takes effort

That's so weird.

Why?

My grandfather used to say the same thing when I was younger.

Do you think my grandpa knew your grandmother?

No, I don't think so.

But looks like they were right.

Oh, my list, right?

What list?

I'll tell you.

Everyone has a list that people keep repeating.

Everyone has a list that people keep repeating.

What's on my list?

Stay away from Yassir Helmy. Yassir Helmy is a womanizer.

He married six times, and that's the ones we know about.

Imagine the ones we don't know about…

What are you thinking about?

I'm thinking what would be on my list.

No, you don't have a list.

You need a mirror

Yassir…

Yassir…

No, no.

Don't worry, you're like a little sister to me.

I'm just a sweet talker.

And I’m known for that.

And I do love my wife.

So, there's nothing to fear.

Won't you play the soundtrack for me?

Yeah, ready?

Wait.

Did you like it?

Yes, it's very good.

But I do have to leave now.

But I do have to leave now.

Why don't you stay for a while?

I have something important to do.

Thank you, Yassir.

I should be thanking you.

Okay, that's all. You look elegant.

A nice new jacket.

And the shoes are very elegant. God bless you.

I'm very excited to go out with Ramallah today.

It's the first time a girl says to me, let's go out.

It's the first time a girl says to me, let's go out.

I think she loves me.

Aren't you getting ahead of yourself?

Maybe she wants you to be friends.

It's not love necessarily.

No, but she didn't say let's be friends.

Hear me out.

When we were younger, and we want to be friends,

We’d say, let's be friends.

But when we're older, we don't say that.

We say things like, let's go out.

Let's have lunch together, or a drink, or go to the movies.

Do you understand?

Okay, so what do I do know?

Nothing, just think of every word you say.

I do think of every word I say.

I do think of every word I say.

That's not what I meant.

I mean that you…

Tell her something nice.

Say, for example, you look good today.

Your hair is beautiful today, things like this.

Sweet talk.

Yes

Let me get a picture of you.

Let me see.

My God.

What's wrong? You can't stand still.

These shoes are really tight.

Can I wear my sneakers?

No.

Sneakers! You've to look different today.

Sneakers! You've to look different today.

It's a special event.

Okay.

Don't mess things up, Nadim.

Don't talk to her about the Egyptians Band.

Why not?

Maybe she doesn't like the Egyptians band.

But what if she likes the Egyptians band?

If she does like them, then talk about them.

But if you sense that she’s bothered, talk about something else.

If you feel that she is bothered, what will you do?

-Change the topic. -Exactly!

Let's go because I think you're late.

Get a cab.

Okay.

But don't forget that you have to pay.

Okay? The man has to pay.

Okay? The man has to pay.

Even if she gets something expensive?

Even if she gets something expensive.

-Come on. -Okay.

Bye.

You're ten minutes late.

Only VIPs are late.

You look good, Nadim.

Thanks.

You look good today.

You look good today.

Your hair is beautiful today.

Thanks.

Are you okay? You look…

very nervous

The shoes are very tight.

Well, why don't you take them off?

Is that okay?

Yeah. Look, I'm also going to take off my shoes.

Why are they clapping?

Because he's about to play the piano.

They are supposed to clap after he plays, and if they do like it.

That's right.

I'm thinking of ordering a chicken fillet.

And you?

I don't like chicken.

What do you like?

I love pasta.

I love salad.

Do not talk to her about the Egyptians band, Nadim.

I love the Egyptians band.

Nadim!

I was very happy that you got me a turtle.

Thanks.

I didn't know what to get you.

But I felt that you might love turtles.

Yes, I just don't know what to call it.

Yes, I just don't know what to call it.

Can you help me?

You can call it Takhtakh.

why is that?

He's my favorite one among The Adventurous Five.

Okay, I'll name it Takhtakh.

You look so good today.

Your hair is very beautiful today.

Thanks.

How can the moon drop from the sky and sit alone in the balcony?!

Why are you sitting all alone, beautiful?

None of your business!

Why the attitude, I wanted to talk to you about something.

What is it?

How can I get in the inner circle?

What inner circle?

Amani's circle.

I want to get close to her.

I want to be on good terms with her and secure my spot.

The guys in this office are really good at their job.

The guys in this office are really good at their job.

Youssef is quite cunning.

And Nadim is smart, which leaves me in danger.

Ezz! Amani will choose the best of you, so calm yourself!

Why don't you help me?

Help me out, say something to her.

Put in a good word for me and tell her Ezz is brilliant.

And maybe she'd listen to you.

You know, Amani will not stand you as long as you keep acting like this.

Well, what's the solution then, beautiful?

Look, Ezz.

Sometimes one meets people and thanks God they are not as awful as you.

Sometimes one meets people and thanks God they are not as awful as you.

But you've asked for my advice and I'll tell you.

I think what's best is that you keep your mouth shut.

That's not helpful.

What a disappointment!

Come on, hear me out.

They all love arguing.

They enjoy arguing. It's their sole purpose in life.

-Good evening -Good evening

-Good evening -Good evening

Hi darling, how are you? This is Mohamed Saeed.

A friend of mine, that just got back from traveling.

Welcome.

And where did Mr. Saeed travel to?

-I was in… -He was in America.

Where there's wine and women.

Glad to meet you.

I'm happy as well.

He's really happy.

Did you check on your son and made sure he ate and went to bed?

I'm sure he ate and slept.

Excuse me.

Go ahead.

Ali!

What are you still doing up, Ali?

You've school tomorrow.

Come with me!

Let's go.

Come on!

Yassir!

Yassir!

What is it, Amani?

Your son hasn't slept and is still awake till now.

So, what? He'll certainly fall asleep soon.

Fall asleep soon? It's a school night.

And you have your friend over and you're drinking alcohol.

Since when do you have your friends over and drink alcohol here?

Amani, we're here for a short while then we're leaving.

I can't believe what you're doing. You know your son isn't normal.

What would you have done if he wasn't autistic?

“When the sea was blue”

“When the stars were up high”

“When birds dreamt”

“Up in trees at night”
