I won't let them get away with it

I can help you

But we have to come up with a plan first

A plan?

What about the wedding?

What about the wedding?

I think they should be next month, one after the other

because I'm due for a raise.

What do you think?

I told you that...

If you don't leave now, I'll kick you out.

I've never had anyone...

What did you do, Mom?

You shut up.

I know what's best for you.

And for your father.

No offense, but I'm her father and I know what's best for her and her mother.

You shut up too.

Oh, Mom, Mom...

I don't know what to tell you.

I don't know what to say either.

No one has ever stood by me like you, Nadeem.

You are truly a lovely person.

And I am grateful for your presence in my life.

I don't know what I would have done without you.

Thank you.

Are you okay?

I can't hold it I need to use the bathroom.

Okay, the bathroom is right here.

I can't use the bathroom anywhere but my home or the library.

Oh...

In the library or at home!

I'm sorry, Nadeem.

I'm really sorry, I swear.

Nadeem...

I can get you the exact same one.

As if it was the same.

But it won't be the same

Watch it, you'd get hurt.

Yes, Yasser.

Nadeem

I really want to say thank you.

For what?

For agreeing to get married.

No one else would have agreed to do what you did.

By the way, what did you do with everyone in the office?

Only Nada came today.

And I'm afraid that Amani might see me as not responsible.

Yes, I understand what you're saying

Yes, I understand what you're saying

Uh, the idea is that I probably won't be able to come because...

You must come.

I'm renewing my residence permit.

You must come.

Okay, I have an idea we can tell Amani.

You have an idea, meaning...

Like you have a plan.

Yes, a plan.

A plan.

What happened was not acceptable.

None of you came.

And I was supposed to tell you about the case.

And I was supposed to tell you about the case.

- and also... - Forgive us this time, boss.

Sorry, it was a mistake and won't happen again.

Nadeem... I'm sorry I'm late.

This is not just being late.

This is disrespectful.

We're not playing everywhere.

Around!, boss

We're not playing around.

Sorry but you won't be able to work with us on any case until our boss arrives.

Excuse me..

Ramallah...

The office must operate as if the boss was still here, and better.

The case in front of you, the one you've read.

Kamel Abou Auf...

A businessman...

He was found dead, someone poisoned his food.

This man was married and had a daughter.

Is his wife the daughter's biological mother?

No

Didn't you read the case files?

Honestly, no.

Who else didn't read the case files?

Nadeem, if you'll allow me..

Give them an hour to read the files, then we can discuss it.

- Okay. - Right?

What's up, sir?

You worried me.

Look at the file and give me your opinion.

How did you get this file?

The only copy of these papers are at my office.

It's clear that you have...

Someone in your office is leaking information.

In my office?

Hello Amani

Hello Abeer

What's up?

Have a look.

What's this?

This copy came from our office.

Definitely not!

I need you to check me the backgrounds of the five newcomers.

I need a file on each of them,

with everything in it.

- Everything, Abeer! - Do you suspect someone specific?

No, I don't know...

Okay, Amani, I'll take care of it.

Why are you silent?

What is there to say?

You got married without telling me.

You should have invited me, at least

Invite you to what? There was no wedding.

After all, it's not a real wedding. It's not a real marriage.

A fake marriage

What do you mean by "fake marriage"?

What do you mean by "fake marriage"?

You fake-married her

And you fake-fired her

What is this fake relationship?

You're laughing?

Yes, it's funny.

I will tell Ramallah that our relationship is fake

Nadeem, dear,

When a man marries a woman

She becomes his responsibility

There is no such thing as fake marriage.

You either married her or you didn't.

Don't you love her?

- I don't know - Oh God

When you find out, let me know

This isn't what's bothering me, something else is bothering me

This isn't what's bothering me, something else is bothering me

What's bothering you?

Right now, no one comes to the office at all

And no one's listening to me.

I'm afraid that I'm no longer good as the trust Amani placed in me.

- I think after what you did to Ramallah, they're going to think twice

You think?

Right, and then you need to be strict with them

"Meaning, show them that you have two sides"

Good morning

Good morning

Good morning

Before we start working on the case,

You need to know something very important

- Nadeem Ahmed Abu Sariyah is two-faced - Oh really? How?

No, when he talks, you listen

Go on, Nadeem

"One side is nice to people who are dedicated to their work"

Nadeem Ahmed Abu Sariyah is two-faced

A nice side for those dedicated to work

"And the other side you wouldn't want to meet"

And the other side... You won't be happy with.

"Then, you need to be strict with them."

- You should know that I'm strict. - I have a question, Mr. Strict

- You should know that I'm strict. - I have a question, Mr. Strict

My name is Nadeem

Hello everyone

Ma'am

What is this?

Amani, aren't you off?

I postponed it, if you don't mind

Go ahead, Nadeem

- Where's Ramallah then? - Nadeem fired her yesterday.

- Why? - Because she's neglectful and comes late

He's right

Abeer, call Ramallah and have her come work on the case with them

Abeer, call Ramallah and have her come work on the case with them

Okay

If it's okay with you, Nadeem

I need all of you to do your best

Just two more months,

and only two of you will continue with me

Or, more accurately, will be hired

Good luck, everyone

Look, I need you to tell me exactly what happened that day

Nothing much

The only thing is that I came back from work a bit late that day

It was exactly 7 o'clock, like you told the prosecutors, right?

Right

Came back at seven,

And immediately went out again, just had a quick change of clothes

And went out again, around 7:20.

And went out again, around 7:20.

And, God rest his soul, he was...

- He was still asleep - May God rest his soul

By the way, I am sure she's the one who killed him.

Why are you sure?

Because no thirty-year-old woman

would marry a man over seventy.

Unless she wanted something.

Perhaps.

But it's not certain she killed him.

Are you trying to provoke me?

Just so I can understand.

No, I didn't mean to provoke you.

One second, Nadeem.

Asmaa, you need to know that the judge won't consider intentions.

Asmaa, you need to know that the judge won't consider intentions.

Look, I truly understand your situation.

But the cameras in front of the house

didn't catch you leaving.

Yes, because the building has two gates.

I left from the other gate.

- Why? - I usually, when..

I get a taxi and leave my car,

I leave from the other gate.

What time did you get home?

11 PM.

And Nesreen?

I mean,

I mean,

around 2 AM I guess.

This is the first time she's stayed out late since she married my father.

First time she stayed out in a year?

Yes.

It's really strange.

Didn't you notice that I call you every day like six or seven times?

Didn't you notice that I call you every day like six or seven times?

Yes, but

it's not nice.

How is it not nice?

Because...

there's nothing between us.

I understand.

Khalid, I appreciate your feelings.

I know how much you care.

But trust me, if you were in a bind like me,

- It would consume you - Then why am I calling you?

I called you like 6 or 7 times because I want to help

I know.

But I've already handled it.

Oh, so you've handled it?

How?

I spoke to a friend of mine, and she helped me get the residence permit.

Alright.

The residence permit issue is resolved.

What about me, then?

- It's okay, it's okay. - I...

- No need - Khalid...

One more time.

One more time.

One more time.

No, sir, listen, I've got work to do.

This is the tenth time I replay it.

One more time.

I have an idea.

Why don't you record it on your phone?

Watch it wherever, even if it's the bathroom.

Why the bathroom?

I don't know, just record it.

Go on.

Nadeem.

Nadeem.

Just so you know, if I'm bothering you, I can leave.

I could rent the apartment again and...

I could rent the apartment again and...

The problem is that rent is a little too expensive for me.

I'm not bothered.

I'm the one sleeping on the bed, and you sleep quietly.

What are you watching?

Is that the lady leaving the apartment?

Why do you have this video?

Nadeem?

Nadeem?

Goodnight, Nadeem.

Nadeem.

Goodnight.

Okay.

Nadeem.

Nadeem... Nadeem.

Nadeem... Nadeem.

Alright.

- We were saying, the deceased... - It smells like vanilla in here.

Yeah, that's my perfume.

Are you allergic to it?

No, you smell really nice.

Merci.

The deceased had a fight with his company's chairman the previous day.

A big fight.

And they yelled at each other in front of the employees.

- Right? - Yes, but that's Uncle Fikry.

They are very close friends, by the way.

You can't think... that he would do such a thing.

Pardon me, miss.

There is no one above suspicion or the law.

If everyone removes "close" friends from suspicion...

it would be a disaster.

And favoritism would reach court.

Sorry.

I won't allow that.

No, that's not the point.

But I was talking with Nadeem...

And we discarded the idea that uncle Fikry could be the murderer.

And we discarded the idea that uncle Fikry could be the murderer.

Frankly, I really liked his mindset.

Liked what, ma'am?

His mindset.

And why do you think so, Nadeem?

What's your name?

Nesreen.

I know, Nesreen what?

Nasreen Shafiq Al-Azab.

Okay, didn't the deceased discuss what happened with Fikry with you?

No, of course, he told me.

The day before the incident...

The day before the incident...

He told me about Fikry, that they fought at the company and Fikry threatened him.

- You're a liar. - Oh dear God.

I'm telling you, they fought at the office, and everyone saw it.

Liar! he didn't argue with nor threaten him.

Ladies, please!

Is this your Instagram?

What's this?

Yes, it is.

Sorry, please proceed.

Nadeem

You may take a break outside.

Alright.

Okay.

Nesreen, I have a question

What did you do when you got home that day?

Nothing

I didn't stay home more than...

15 minutes

Or like 20 minutes.

I barely changed my clothes, grabbed my keys, and left.

I barely changed my clothes, grabbed my keys, and left.

Did you shower?

Excuse me?

Silence please.

I don't see how that's relevant

But no, I didn't shower, I just left.

Kamel, God rest his soul, was still sleeping.

Alright, alright.

Can you tell us what happened afterwards?

Nothing, I got in a taxi.

Nothing, I got in a taxi.

I went to Maadi, met a friend of mine.

And that's it.

I just don't understand how you didn't shower.

Silence, please!

So...

Did you change anything in your appearance?

Anywhere

Before you went out

To the place where you partied?

No, I didn't change anything, I don't come home from work looking disgusting!

No, I didn't change anything, I don't come home from work looking disgusting!

Show respect or you will be dismissed.

This is your picture at the place where you were.

- Right? - Exactly

This is my picture at the exact time of the crime.

- Thank you, that's all I need. - Merci.

Your Honor

Mrs. Nesreen,

The surveillance camera in the pharmacy across the building caught Mrs. Nesreen

Entering the building with straight hair.

But in this picture, Your Honor,

She has curly hair.

And these curls take a long time to do.

The curls? I need to wash it first then wait for it to dry for two to three hours.

Then I start styling the curls.

The hair needs to be washed

And then dries in two to three hours

And then dries in two to three hours

In order to...

Please stick to the subject and avoid digressions.

I mean, Your Honor, is that the proof of innocence is, in itself, incriminating.

Because her hair won't curl on its own

And she claims that she stayed at home for 15 minutes and didn't take a shower

Nor did she go to a hairdresser to style her hair

Another thing, Your Honor,

Mrs. Nesreen states that she got in a taxi, which is incorrect

Mrs. Nesreen states that she got in a taxi, which is incorrect

She requested an Uber

Is this the woman coming down from the apartment? Why do you have this video?

You can see here her ride history

She requested an Uber at 9:38pm

This is the time she claims she was already out

Based on the contradiction in the witness's statements,

I request her role to be changed from a witness to a defendant

Honestly, I didn't want to talk about this

Because I know you're sensitive

No, I'm not sensitive to the truth

Son, "All of you are shepherds and every one of you is responsible for his herd"

Meaning whether she's your wife

For real or just in writing

She's your wife

Right?

Ok, what time is it now?

It's 01:15

Do you know exactly where your wife is at 01:15?

It's 01:16 now

Son, seriously

Forget about the time

Go call her

Go call her

Okay

Alright, may God guide you.

The witnesses are here, and the marriage officiant is on his way

And I'll be the happiest man in the world
