What a nice drawing, why didn't you tell me you like to draw?
Tomorrow, I'll bring you many coloring books
but remember, the most important thing now is studying
just like my job is the most important thing I have
After we're done with our jobs we can do what we like to do
because studying is more important than playing
True or not?
"Episode 2"
My dear son, Youssef
I've long waited for you to grow up and help me
But when you grew up you left me and travelled
and I'm still waiting for you
Many are the things I wanted to do together
But fate was never on my side, and torturing me
Or maybe it was punishing me
Now you know why I deserved this
What now?
- Hello, Alya - Listen well
Forget about that dinner and come back right now
No, I can't do that I'm far anyway
I'll call you when I'm back
It's a disaster, Mirna You must come back
Everything's in chaos and your uncle will need you
- Is he alright? - He's fine, don't worry
Mounir Bey killed himself
Father!
- Dad - No, Mounir, no
No, no...
Mounir
Mounir, no...
No...
Did you know anything?
They declared his death It's all over the news
I just want to know what did he want more?
What upset him?
Oh, my God Do we know what happened?
No, no one knows yet
Some are saying he had a stroke and fainted
Are they being serious?
He was by the window he fainted and fell?
He must've killed himself
Look, they're saying here he killed himself
Listen, maybe he had a fight with someone, and he pushed him
You know, I heard he had a fight with his son right before
What nonsense!
Don't say that again people might believe you
There will be many rumors now
You poor uncle, how he came in and found him...
What an ordeal
He's his childhood friend
All of this business will turn to dust now?
His son just got back He brings bad luck
I entered the office it was empty
and I saw the window open so I went to look
I wish I didn't answer him and went outside
But he was crying
He was sad, I've never seen him this sad
Whatever it was I'm sure there was a solution
And if not, no tragedy lasts forever
Your father have seen a lot
Why, Mounir? Why did you do that to yourself and us?
Uncle Amin, stay with me I know no one here
- My condolences - I appreciate it
- My condolences - Thank you
My condolences
Please, take a seat
Honestly, I'm at loss for words
There's nothing to say, sir
- How's Rima? - She's fine
She took a pill and sleeping upstairs
May God help her it's understandable
May God help us all
- The burial is tomorrow, right? - Yes
You finished all preparations? Do you need anything?
We're taking care of everything Thank you, Sami Bey
Jad, my friend he's finishing all the paperwork
- Hello, my condolences - Thank you
- It's all ready - Thank you
If that's all, I will leave I'll see you tomorrow
- You're not travelling? - No, are you for real?
I can't just leave you Good evening
- Good evening to you too - Thank you, Jad
Please, sit down
Good evening
Dear, are you okay?
Excuse me
Doctor, what do I do if the fever soars again?
We'll give him more antipyretic
Shouldn't we know why he has a fever first?
What if it's an inflammation shouldn't we run some tests?
No, there's no need
He probably got the virus from here, there are many patients
His immunity is already compromised
that's why the virus got hold of him
Isn't this dangerous?
We're so happy the fever went down to start treatment
- What if he has another setback? - What can we do?
We're doing all we can You can do something to help him
- Tell me, what is it? - You can move him to a single room
If I could, Doctor we wouldn't be here now
Not in here but maybe in another hospital
- We will see - I hope he gets better
Thank you
Again, I'm sorry ma'am Do you need anything?
- My condolences, Mr Youssef - Thank you
- My condolences, Mrs Rima - Thank you
- My condolences - Thank you
Please, sit down sir
I apologize for stressing on seeing you now
but there's an urgent matter we must discuss
before talking about the inheritance
- Go ahead, sir - There are two things
First, we must reach a settlement with the bank
I'll get all the paperwork ready as soon as possible
Second, Mounir Bey had a will
So, we must set a meeting for us three
Mrs Rima, Ms Yara and you Mr Youssef to read the will
Okay
Thanks for coming to see me
I couldn't just go and console you like a stranger
Really, they're all strangers
I feel like I don't know anyone
I don't even know myself you believe that?
What happened is very hard
I came to console you while I need it myself
Mounir Bey was very dear to me
To us all
I wish we were dearer to him, too
Don't say that
He would've done anything for you
That's why he decided to kill himself and spare us the trouble at the end
I'm very sad
because of him, and for him
You believe that?
No one knows how the others feel
No matter what, he was your father you can't be sad with him
You have to right to grieve Take your time
But don't let this sadness take hold of you and your thoughts
- and confuse you - I came back for him
When I did, he left
How can I leave Rima and Yara after what happened?
How?
You can't take any decision now Why the haste?
I have a million reasons to be hasty
Mainly, I don't want to waste my life doing what I don't like
Everything happened so fast Everything...
Coming back home meeting you
what happened after that that I can't explain
I'm worried all of this happened because of me
I confronted him before meeting with you
I confronted him about many things
about our relationship and what they hid from us
About work, his personality
and my relationship with him
I'm not saying this was because of me, surely not
But I'm very upset because in our last meeting
we had a fight, you know?
I'm very upset
How many times do I have to tell you? Keep shooting
Take a picture every time I change my pose
Okay, fine I was just checking...
I can't believe it I can't believe it
I just can't believe it!
This is all your fault
You always play along with her
No, it's my fault for agreeing to come with you
Why do you keep blaming us and accusing us?
I just wanted to go out and get some fresh air
- What is it, Alya? - I wish I stayed at my parents'
She wishes she stayed at her parents', you hear that?
As if I beat her up She keeps threatening me
- by saying that, really - Yes, it's my fault
What fault?
You agreed to come with us and didn't go to see them
Stop it, no one forced you to come
Take us to the restaurant you told us about
- One minute - No, now, Nadine
Right now!
How grumpy!
- Coming, I'm coming - Right you are
- Uncle, won't you get up? - Where to?
There's no work nor anyone who deserves this
There's nothing but heartache
You must get dressed to attend your friend's funeral
Uncle, I know what happened isn't easy at all
You must be wondering why he did that
Uncle, for my sake stop blaming yourself
You can't change anything what's done is done
This is what's killing me
I thought I knew everything about him
and that I knew everything he's going through
It seems I knew nothing
May he rest in peace
You should've told us you love food so you came to eat with us
Yes, I love food at least I love something
unlike someone who takes a million photo just to please others
- She's right - What?
- You're doomed - She spoke the truth
but she didn't mean you Did you mean her?
Fine, Saed, I won't fight today for I'm in a good mood
Okay
If you're always in that mood we can go out every weekend
Fine, let's see first what we'll do this weekend
What else can we do? We're already doing
The day has just begun
Okay, we can go somewhere close after lunch, or something
No, we have work tomorrow, right?
We're busy tomorrow
Yes, what will we order? Let's eat
Nadine, what's good here?
Nadine, what's good in this restaurant?
Honestly, I don't know it's my first visit
I've seen pictures on Instagram, that's all
What will you get?
Nadine, pick something, dear
You know, I won't eat we've been binging for 3 days
- It's not possible - What do you mean?
We'll eat while you watch?
I'll get you a salad or grilled cheese if you want
You'll want to eat when you see us
Saed, what would you like to have?
You know? You're right Saed I can't just watch you eat
- So what? - So I'll go to a nearby cafe
- and drink coffee with friends - You'll come back?
Yes, text me when you're done
I swear, after lunch when we call her
She'll say, go ahead I'll follow you later
Fine, smile poor you, what can I say?
At least, you took her out and had fun, right?
Good for you Now, let's order, come on
You won't eat? It will get cold
I'm not hungry
Eat up, it'll get cold
I left the house to escape the sadness there
Tonight, I have a meeting with the lawyer regarding the inheritance
- I thought I'd just go out - That's good
but you have to eat
- You want me to feed you? - No, I will eat
I remember when you were little you only ate French Fries
Yes, I remember
In the U.S. I went to a state where they only eat fried food
They even fry cucumber pickles Can you imagine?
Really?
- I got so fat there - Obviously
That was a terrible year for me
When was that?
2012, I guess
Where were you then?
Where would I be? I never left this place
Wasn't that when you got engaged?
Yes, I was rather enraged and not engaged
How did you get over that rage?
All by yourself? Or did something happen?
I would be lying if I said I broke up with him
but he left me for something I did
I couldn't fool myself nor him...
If he weren't sensitive and smart you'd be together now?
Maybe you two would've had three children now, for example
Yes, it's good he was sensitive and smart then
Cheers
I feel you
I know these times are hard
Yes, you're right
This might be the worst time of my life
I can't come to terms with it, Mirna
As if I'm having a nightmare that just won't go away
A very bad and harsh dream that never ends
I don't know
May he rest in peace
Honestly, they're more arrangements than a will
done by Mounir Bey to be at peace regarding his family
When did he do that?
A few years back
In particular, 4 years ago when Dentelle started facing problems
Problems?
Dentelle has been facing financial problems for 4 years
We tried more than once to settle the debts
but we failed
He never mentioned it to me
He didn't want you to feel there were problems
- Worse than this? - Yara
What? You've been asking about this for 3 days now
We just want to understand
The situation got worse and Mounir Bey had to borrow money
from the bank and mortgaged the house and Dentelle
But these debts carried high progressive interests
and we failed to settle them
Mounir Bey was still hopeful
especially with the new collection he saw in it a solution
but we were surprised to learn that the bank decided...
to foreclose on Dentelle in the previous week
He tried to delay it, but...
What arrangements my father took to secure our rights?
Yara!
We're sorry, sir Please, continue
Mounir Bey divided the inheritance in accordance with the laws
but at the same time, he gave Mr Youssef the right to deal...
with all the assets
Will you say nothing?
After all that was said you have no comment?
Or did you know?
You two never kept secrets
Can it be?
Is it possible you knew nothing of this?
Is it possible he did that to himself?
He made himself, and us drown in debt
And instead of asking for our help...
or thinking of a solution he decided to kill himself?
He killed himself and passed all this trouble to us?
We're supposed to find a way out?
What's upsetting you? Is it that your father...
killed himself, or that he left us will all these problems?
What upset me is that he broke us
He left us broken
and so we'll stay forever
We can't get back up with the debt We own nothing now
And will we ever forget the way he left us
without ever thinking of us
- What about him? - Him?
Where is he now?
Didn't you ask yourself...
How did he put up with all of this alone?
All these problems you talk of now
he carried their burden alone for years
and none of us felt there was something wrong
Even I never felt something was wrong
I thought I knew him very well
I've always said...
I know what Mounir wants even in his silence
I know when he gets angry and for what reason
If I suspected nothing
How could he hide this from me?
People would always joke with us saying we keep no secrets
He'd say, Rima is not only my wife She's my friend too
It seems they were all lies Is this possible?
I wish you told me, Mounir
Anything...
At least, I would've held you close to me
I would have held you and told you I love you
Maybe I would've eased your pain a little
and you wouldn't have left us
Hello, can I speak to Mr Youssef?
He's not there? Fine, thank you
Please...
No, that's enough
Are you worried I might get drunk?
Sir, you've had half the bottle alone
It's still early
You're worried about me?
You don't know me and you're worried about me?
Why wasn't he worried about me?
Why wasn't he worried about us all?
About himself not to lose his image, why?
Fine, pour me some It's my last drink, please
Thank you
Excuse me, where's the patient in bed number 6?
- He's not there? - I can't find him anywhere
Fine, I'll ask I just got here
Sawsan, the patient in 112 bed number 6, where is he?
- What's his name? - Adam Al Mazini
Adam Al Mazini
- Is anything wrong? - You're his wife, right?
- Yes, what is it? - Don't you worry
He took a turn for the worse Dr Sherif moved him to the ICU
We tried to call you more than once but you never answered
- Where's the ICU? - In fourth floor
Fourth floor?
Youssef, where are you? You got me worried
Downstairs where?
- Are you okay? - Sorry for coming at this time
but I've been driving around for two hours
and I found myself here
You've been drinking?
Yes, a little
You never could come to my house before
I would find you standing there at the end of the street
I used to be scared for your own sake
and your uncle and the neighbors
And for that reason I wish you'd leave
Now
Many times he told me Come Youssef, I need you
but I never answered
I didn't understand him
When I came, I argued with him and caused him more pain
What made him do that?
Dentelle's large debts
or was it the house we'll lose?
Or was it his son who left him all these years
or what his son told him when he got back?
I will never know
I can't even apologize to him
or ask him, even
I didn't answer him after I left Dentelle
Maybe he just wanted to hear my voice
Maybe he wanted me to say anything to stop him
- But I... - Darling, it's not your fault
He didn't tell you anything
This all happened while you were away
True
I knew nothing
and I couldn't do anything
But what's to come?
The place he spent a lifetime building all alone
I can never let him down once more, Mirna
I will do the impossible to defend his dream
I will do the impossible you will see
All will go back to normal
Everything is back to normal Nothing's changed
Mrs Hayat, who will replace Mr Mounir, may he rest in peace?
It's not your business
You just focus on your work
Who will replace Mounir Bey? It's not your business
Just focus on your work
What work, Mrs Hayat?
Exactly, do we even have orders?
You two, come here
Go to the storehouse fix it up and take inventory
For everything!
For every single item Understood?
You go back to work now
Put the dresses back after the fashion show
Pick up the fabric and fold it
Don't say there's no work Work never ends
Whoever feels there's nothing to do can go home
I will hear no gossip
If I see anyone gossiping I will deduct a day from her salary
Now, go back to work
You, and you two
Go to the warehouse and take inventory for every item
If I heard anyone gossiping I will lock her with the rats
If you say a word, I'll deduct your day's salary, okay?
You heard me? What are you doing?
You're listening to music? I will fire you
- For this too? - Yes
- I see you're tired - Is Adam well?
The moved him to the ICU
He's not doing well
He's getting worse by the day
I don't know why this is happening to him
It's not about dialysis anymore
It's much bigger than this
I'm sorry I'm nagging But I'm very tired
Are you serious? You can nag as much as you want
What are friends for? Is it not to support each other?
Yes, they support each other
Soon, he'll get better just like he was
- Then, you get to nag to him - Like before?
Do I remember how he was before?
We were still getting acquainted when he had to start treatment?
I never felt I was a bride
I'm sorry, I brought you bad news in the morning
No, dear don't you worry
Mrs Hayat beat you to that
Smile a little
Move now
If you listen to music I will fire you
