If I knew that it would make you this happy
I would've told my father to take you with us to Disneyland
- You mean, you saw him there? - Yes, I did
- Even Yara took a picture with him - How lucky!
What's her story?
She had the most beautiful voice ever
But she gave it away to the evil witch so she could have legs
and go to the one she loves and stay with him
You're confusing me Is she a mermaid or a girl?
She's not like anyone else
You mean, just like you?
"Episode 4"
What's wrong? What's the matter?
Something is really wrong What is it?
Yesterday, the girls knew that we were together
- So, I had to tell them - Tell them what?
What's going on between us!
Why? What's going on between us?
Is that so? You never change, go away
Come back, I was just kidding
Tell me, what did you tell them?
I told them everything And that after all those years
You're still the only one who gets on my nerves
I didn't wanna tell them anything I'm sorry I did
Honestly, what you did was wrong
Because you waited until they exposed you, smart
You should've told them on your own since the first day
Besides, how come you didn't tell them anything about me until now?
What if you really forgot about me?
Yes, I did
Who are you in the first place so I would remember you?
Who am I?
Allow me, Youssef Al Talle
My pleasure
I know I failed you But trust me, we'll find a way
No, you didn't fail me at all Besides, I wanna thank you
You left your work to accompany me to interviews that don't matter to you
No, what are you talking about? What matters to you, matters to me
Stop this nonsense
- Ms Mira Al Talle - Who?
- Ms Mira Al Talle - Let her come in
- Come in - Your cousin?
Yes, take this, Jad
You weren't answering your phone
So, I thought of coming here and take you out to lunch
I'm sure you forgot the meaning of lunch
- How are you? - I'm good
He forgot the whole meaning of life
I wish you'd take him out Maybe he'll leave me be for a while
- Come have lunch with us - Me?
I told you I want him to leave me alone for a bit
I couldn't believe that someone came to take him away for a bit
Is that the only thing you have to say?
When I come back, I wanna see that you've built Malta, alright?
You didn't know? Malta was ruined while you were abroad
Yes, don't worry We'll build it again
I'll make sure of that Excuse me
Goodbye
Say hi to Yara for me
Alright, but I'm sure that her brother sees her more than I do
You see? I thought I was his friend and that I'm always by his side
But it turned out that I get his cousin and sister mixed up
Anyway, say hi to her for me Excuse me
Let's send a picture to Jad and show him what he's missing
Alright, let's do it
I feel like Jad is a bit silly, right?
Yes
But you know? I feel like he loves you a lot
I feel like he's my childhood friend
Although we only met in college in America
But he finished his studies and came right back
I thought you were friends since you were kids
No, but Jad has the heart of a baby
Youssef, have you decided on what to do?
About what?
Are you staying here or going back abroad?
I still haven't decided yet
But for now, I'm staying here
That's good How's Yara and aunty?
They're fine, they're getting by
I would be lying if I said that they're fine
After what happened to us none of us is fine, Mira
But we're trying to stay strong
But in fact it's the other way around
Only time...
Only time will heal this pain you're all feeling right now
I hope so
Trust me, I've been there
I'm an expert in this
I don't understand
It's been too long By the way, you're not drinking
I'm gonna finish the whole bottle all by myself
No, I can't drink this much because I still have to go back to work
I'm not pampered that much like you are
You're one of those who think that I'm pampered
and do nothing except for going out partying and travel, right?
No, that's not what I meant
But it's obvious that you like to go out and party a lot
- You also have a lot of friends - Yes, that's better than nothing
What do you mean?
When people see someone happy in his life
they think that he has nothing to do in life
But that particular person needs happiness in his life the most
That's good, at least he'd have the energy to do so
You know, psychologically, they say when we lose someone close to us
we feel guilt towards him and not sadness
because in all relationships there are beautiful and sad moments
But we'd remember the sad moments
That's right
I'm sure you think I'm crazy One minute, she's laughing
and the next, she's being a drama queen, right?
- No, no, it's fine - You're lying, right?
Honestly, yes
One day, you'll become worse than me
Because this is life when you take something from it
It gives us something back
I'm kidding, what's wrong? But, you know what I mean?
Yes, I do
But, I don't understand where did you get these ideas from?
What made you think that?
Because I figured out that we're so fragile in the face of fate
But, humans are stupid and think they can control everything
So, my advice to you, Youssef is live one day at a time
and be happy in life as much as you can
Because we can never bring back what's gone
Saed, can you help me with the payroll?
I wish I could, Nadine I wish I could
What do you mean you wish you could?
- Who forbids you to? - The bad thoughts
- About what? - Nothing, nothing
About life in general, it's nothing
It's nothing?
It's okay to be standing in front of you without you looking at me?
- What's keeping you that busy? - No, Nadine!
Give me that!
I get it, what is it that you're afraid to lose that much?
- Is it a secret of war? - Yes, something like that
Don't act like you're such an important figure
But I am
I am, without me, you might not get paid this month
- or maybe you'll lose your job - What?
That's enough Leave me alone, stop it
What do you mean by saying leave me alone?
What do you mean by that? This concerns us all, not just yourself
- Saed, tell me, what's going on? - Nothing
Nothing?
You want me to just leave and hear about this from someone else, right?
Saed, tell me Am I getting fired?
No, no, you won't get fired, no
What's the matter then?
Is that how it is, Saed?
I've always thought you were my rock
And you are the support for me and my sister
Girls!
- This is a disaster! - What's wrong?
Dentelle is in debt and in two weeks it'll be sold in auction for the bank
- What? - You heard me!
For real
What's happening?
You knew?
You knew!
Mirna, you knew and you didn't tell us?
We're your friends!
We're your friends We're living off of this job
How could you keep it from us?
What's wrong?
What's wrong, girls?
What's with this fuss?
Mrs Hayat, we heard that Dentelle will be shut, is that right?
Hurry, go back to your work, everyone Go back to your work, hurry!
What, Mirna?
Amin, how?
Why didn't you tell me that Dentelle is bankrupt? Why?
Calm down first, calm down
Not that much
Dentelle might be in a financial crisis
And I promised Mr Mounir that I wouldn't tell anyone
to avoid chaos But we're hoping for the best
Look around, chaos is everywhere
Figure out what to say to the employees
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to worry you even more
But I thought that you should know because word will be spread
- And there will be more chaos - What are you sorry for?
You have nothing to do with this
But I don't want you to think that I maybe...
What are you talking about?
- Yes, but... - Mirna
Sweetheart, what women talk about doesn't worry me
Don't you know me?
- What will you do? - What can I do?
Of course, I won't give up
I won't stand idle without doing anything I have to stay by their side
Before this could affect them or the house
I will find a way out no matter the cost
I know that we knew each other since we were kids
and we grew up together
But I don't know when did you become a real man
Sorry, I didn't know you were here
Come in, come in
- This is Jad - Hello
- Mirna - I'm Mirna...
It's obvious that Mrs Mirna is a loyal customer to Dentelle
Excuse me, but are you married or single?
Jad, this is Mirna
Mirna, Mirna!
Mirna! I'm sorry, I'm so sorry I didn't recognize you
- What did you tell him? - I made a mistake and told him everything
Not just that, he complained to me and cried...
- Mirna, you poor woman - Alright, come on
Come on, Jad We were happy to see you
It was nice seeing you Now, go to your office, come on
Alright, alright, I'll keep quiet
- It was nice meeting you - You too
Excuse me Thank you so much for coming
- because you made him feel better - Yes, of course, whatever you want
Anytime you feel that he's in a bad mood
Call me and I'll be there I have nothing important to do
- I'm sorry, I don't mean to... - What are you sorry for?
Don't mind him nor believe him He's trying to fool you
If he tells you good morning It'll be night time
Okay
- Excuse me - Goodbye
Goodbye
- Mirna? - Yes
- Mirna? - That's her, what's wrong?
- What? Tell me! - Tell you what?
What's wrong, uncle? You want anything?
No, I'm just checking on you
I'm fine
I don't want you to worry about me
I'm hungry, aren't you?
I'm not hungry but I can pretend to be for you
What do you wanna eat?
How about spaghetti?
Spaghetti? For dinner, at night?
How hungry are you?
Alright, I'll make you the most delicious spaghetti ever!
Do we have to wait for Dentelle to declare bankruptcy and get fired
so we could look for another job?
I hope not
It's just a phase We have to help each other
Help each other? Yes, that's right
No, dear, you can help them as much as you want
- I'll leave before things worsen - You're unbelievable!
You have no loyalty at all nor to your family nor to your job
It's alright, Alya, why are you yelling at Nadine like that?
So Al Talle family could get back up and maintain their fortune
and take advantage of us?
Do you think that if we get fired they'll feel bad for us and our condition?
No, dear I agree with Nadine
If I find another job I'll quit Dentelle as soon as possible
And I don't care about Al Talle family at all!
It's been 11 years that I haven't seen the kitchen
I feel like you're still just a little girl cooking together
You know, uncle
Ever since my mother passed away May she rest in peace
you've been really nice to me
I love how you worry about me and how you pamper me
Why? Before your mother passed away how was I?
Honestly, this is the first time I tell you this
- But I didn't like you much - Why?
Why? Because you were like a stranger to me
I don't remember you ever playing with me or smiling at me
You even used to say hi to me in a weird way as if you don't know me
You used to come for half an hour Give money to my mother and leave
Really?
You mean that I never spent the whole day with you?
No, you did Maybe I exaggerated a bit
You did spend sometimes the whole day with us
We used to have lunch together and go shopping together
- Do you remember? - Liar!
No, I don't remember
- Hurry, give me those onions - Just a second, I'm about to finish
There you go
- Do I put those together? - Yes, yes
Alright...
These are ready
May God keep you to fill this house with happiness even more
May God keep you too, uncle
Watch your hands
Father
Is it right that Dentelle is bankrupt and Youssef's looking for businessmen
- to save the company? - What are you saying?
I was having lunch with Youssef today He didn't say anything about that
What? Who were you having lunch with? Why?
What's the matter? What about it?
I always go out with my friends and different people
Why are you so surprised that I had lunch with our cousin?
He's not my cousin!
What? Since when do we consider him our cousin?
Besides, since when his father was our uncle?
Since the day we were born we don't even know them
Not because we were far away from them, no!
Even when we got back from America we never saw them
- Yes, but that is what's wrong - No
It was a long time ago and we have nothing to do with it
Bella!
Let's not talk about the past
Besides dear, I don't see what the problem is...
What's the problem if Mira hung out with Youssef?
She always had a lot of friends
Besides, I'm sure that Yara and Youssef just wanna be friends
Give them a chance, daughter
Give them a chance so we could start afresh
and forget about the past
How did you know I was looking at your photos?
Hello, hello
Yes, Mirna Can you hear me?
Hello, yes, I can hear you
I can't hear you well The call is breaking up
I...
I can't...
Can you hear me? Listen, Mirna, listen to me
If you can hear me, meet me after half an hour in our secret hideout, alright?
I'm leaving the country tomorrow I have to see you
I cannot leave without saying goodbye to you and seeing you
I...
Youssef, hello
Yes, Mirna...
Listen, send me a message confirming that you heard what I said
I'll be waiting for you, goodbye...
- What are you doing? - Don't cheat
No...
Don't press too hard You're hurting me
We're almost there
Open your eyes
Let me get this clear
You were lying to me You're not leaving, right?
No, I really am
- Where are you going? - I'm going back in time for 10 years
To tell you that I'll be yours and with you always
- Close your eyes - Again?
Yes
Open your eyes
- You still remember this? - Of course
It's the first gift I got you
You know that I still have the first one?
- But this isn't the same - No, it's the same
- No, it's not - It is!
No, it's not!
What's different about it?
The other one gave up her dream for the sake of the one she loves
Besides, that lowlife left her and traveled abroad
He really is a lowlife... Her boyfriend
But this one doesn't change for anyone
And this one's boyfriend came to her this time
to tell her that he wants to make up for the 10 years she'd lost
You know...
Today, someone told me to live my life to the fullest
They told me Youssef, live your life happily
If I were to do that I wanna do it for you and with you
I don't want anything else
What I'm gonna do now might be too clichÃ©
but, honestly, I love it
What is it?
I want you to be the mother of my children
What do you say?
Maya, Maya... I've used this name before
- Maysun - It sounds silly
You're silly!
Who might that be at this hour?
How should I know? Open the door
How lazy!
Seems like you got up
You're so nosy
Coming! Coming, coming, coming!
Who is it?
Mirna?
Are you okay? Is everyone okay?
Is your uncle alright? Did someone commit suicide?
Enough, shut up
Since nothing is wrong and you look so vibrant
Didn't anyone tell you that it's not nice to knock on people's doors
in the middle of the night?
Is that so?
Alright, I just wanted to tell you some great news
but, alright... I'll come back another time
- No, no! - Come back!
- My dear, come back - Tell us right away
- Right away - Yes, right away
No, I guess you're right
Knocking on people's doors in the middle of the night
- No, that's not right - Sweetheart, tell us right now
- Come back and tell us, come on! - What's the matter?
This...
No, no, no!
- Congratulations! - No!
Are you happy? - Show me!
- It's beautiful, how happy are you? - It looks expensive!
- No, I can't believe this! - Can I try it on?
No, move
No!
Yes, Youssef
No, I'm not home
I'm out
Where?
Now?
Alright, alright I'm coming, I'm coming
No, I don't believe this Your mother called again?
No, it wasn't my mother
Where are you going then?
Didn't you say you were staying here today?
I did, but Youssef needs me You know how it is
I can't be late
Youssef, too
Oh, my God
Now matter how much you women, say you're different
you're still all the same
The same problems and the same curiosity
This way of talking on its own disgusts me
Besides, that's not what we agreed on Isn't that right, baby?
You insist on leaving
No... Okay do whatever you want
Of course I'll do whatever I want
Goodbye
I can't believe that you're getting married
Listen, Mirna
If you let someone else design your wedding dress
- I'll be very upset with you - What wedding dress?
Mirna, I wanna know all the details How did Youssef propose to you?
- Come on, tell us already! - What can I say?
If I tell you that I'm still dreaming...
I don't know if it's a dream or a reality I'm so confused
I can't believe it Is that a wedding ring?
You also think that it's a wedding dress, right?
No, it's just a shiny light bulb Come on, tell us, tell us!
Tell us already You're gonna be Mrs Al Talle soon
and we won't be able to sit together like that
Of course not Do you think I'm an ingrate?
You can be like that But, marry him
By the way, you two are so silly
Tell us, now What will you do?
What have you decided on?
We didn't discuss the details yet
but we certainly cannot announce our engagement now
I still haven't told my uncle yet
Be careful not to slip and tell anyone about this
No, no, of course not
- Nadine! - Yes, yes, don't worry
Yes, yes, don't worry means, you have to worry
- Besides, what are you doing? - How rude of you!
I can't believe this She's already looking for dresses!
Of course, dear Aren't I the bride's friend?
I have to look the prettiest at the wedding
Of course you have to look the prettiest at the wedding
Maybe you'll open your eyes and find yourself a man and we'll be done
Maybe? My dear, mark my words
I'll leave that wedding with the best groom in Beirut
Yes, and the best groom in Beirut will like her
Shut up are you underestimating me?
Let's have the wedding first and just point to the man you want
and I'll make sure he comes and stands in front of you
- But I hope it goes alright - It will, I'm sure it will
You'll tell this story to your children and grandchildren
Rola
Mrs Safa, what's the matter?
My dear, everything is fine
I want to ask you a favor You're the only one who can help me
Me? What's the matter?
I took this dress to a tailor but he ruined it
My daughter has a party soon I don't know anyone else
This dress requires a sewing machine, Mrs Safa
You know what to do
If I could fix it by hand you know I'd do anything for you
But I don't have a sewing machine here
Seriously, Rola?
You work in a big company Take it with you and fix it there
Take this with me to the company? I'm not allowed to
I'm not allowed to work on something else, it'll get me fired
I beg you, consider it as a big favor
I won't ever forget it
Honestly...
I wanted to pay this amount for the tailor
Nothing short of that
Do me this favor Don't let me down
I know it's not much but, please...
You're kidding
Amid everything you're going through you're getting engaged?
- Is this the right time? - No, it's not
It's 10 years late
And thank you for congratulating me, Jad
This was what I am waiting for
Man, I didn't mean to But I mean...
Do you have time for all of that with everything going on?
When I tell you to go out to meet some people who might benefit your work
You tell me that work is done in the morning in the office
and that you don't have the time for that
And now, you suddenly have time to think about the past?
Mirna was never just in my past
She's always been in my life
Even when I thought that I'd forgotten about her, I was wrong
She was there
Jad, after all the years I lost
I'm not willing to lose any second in my life
I only felt alive when we started seeing each other again
I was always trying to convince myself that I'm fine and doing well
But when I got back to Mirna I realized that I wasn't
I wasn't fine I'm being honest with you
Do you think that it's the right time?
Isn't it a bit dangerous or too soon?
Seriously? After everything I just said you're telling me that it's too soon?
Are you serious, Jad?
All I mean to say is that those feelings you have towards Mirna
might not be true
Maybe when you saw her again... I don't know
She made you feel comfortable amongst the problems you're facing, you know?
She made you remember when you were happy and had no responsibilities
Honestly, don't try and convince me that two persons in love
were separated for so many years and still love each other
These days, two married persons might not love each other anymore
No, you're wrong Yes, it's possible
Amongst us, humans, it's possible but you wouldn't understand that
You can't help it I can't blame you
I did what I had to do From now on, you're responsible
- Cheers - Cheers
What a nice weather
Yes, it's really nice
Where are the girls?
My dear, Dana left early and Mira just went to bed
Dana left early and Mira just went to bed
I'm worried that history will repeat itself
Sami, stop worrying
And stop projecting your concerns onto the girls
Besides, you know very well that Dana loves her sister
Dear, I wish you could spare yourself these dark thoughts already
Mounir loved me, too
But he loved himself more
Oh, my God!
I don't even know what you want!
I wish you made up with him You would've felt relieved
You know what? If I knew you were gonna suffer like that
I would've taken you myself and ask for his forgiveness
Even though, he'd always been unfair to you
What else?
Sweetheart, I know that what happened was very hard for you
Especially for you, because you stopped talking to one another
But, you insisted on that and you left him no choice at all
Could this be what makes me more upset?
What are you talking about?
Ever since the accident I couldn't stop thinking about it
My thoughts are all over the place Who would've thought?
Who would've thought that Mounir with all his might, would commit suicide?
Yes, we're upset with each other
But I've never thought that he would die in this horrible way!
- Hello, girls - Hello
- We appreciate your hard work - Thank you
- I want you to meet Jad - Nice to meet you
Nice to meet you
Keep up the good work
Jad, let me show you the other department
- This Falafel sandwich is delicious! - Enjoy it!
Eat as much as you can You'll miss it later on
Why? Will they stop preparing it or what?
No, you will stop eating it, dear
You will be eating croissant and salizon and who knows what
- What's salizon? - How should I know?
Besides, why do you make us feel that Al Talle family...
Keep your voice down!
Sorry!
Why do you think we're so different than Al Talle family?
Why do I have to make you feel that way?
If you're so blind to see that then, it's your own problem
Besides, you want to convince me that Yara eats this food?
By the way how do you deal with her?
I don't know but that doesn't matter
What matters is that Youssef and I are together
- That's what matters the most - That's right
Saed
Why are you calling him here? Is it the time for that now?
Can't you see we're talking about something important?
Yes, whatever you say, boss We're at your command
- Stop being so childish, you two! - Guess what I'm gonna tell you
- What is it? - Khaled got a scholarship
- Really? - Congratulations, I wish him luck
- Thank you - Who's Khaled?
Congratulations when's he leaving the country?
The next month, he still has to fill some paperwork
- And then, he'll leave when he's done - I'm so happy for him, really!
- Who are you talking about? - Khaled, Khaled, my nephew
He applied for a scholarship in France and it got accepted
Your nephew? The son of your sister who came here?
- Her son is still in school? - No, that's his younger sister, Salma
Khaled is the son of his sister, Fayza
- There's also Soha, Samira and Abed... - Amazing, amazing
You know Saed's family more than our families
The one who can't remember his own family is to blame
- That's right - Who are you? Alya's attorney?
- That's right - Calm down, don't take this personally
I get my siblings mixed up sometimes because they're too many
Tell her that
Excuse me
- Enjoy it - What are you eating?
Falafel? Thank you
I miss you
I feel dizzy, I feel dizzy!
Aren't you scared that someone might see us?
I want everyone to see us!
I wanna take your hand and go downstairs and announce our engagement
in front of everybody Can you believe that?
- Why not? Let's go - No, it can't be
Quite the opposite You'll see about that
- Wait, we can't do that - Says who?
How much longer will be wasting time?
Everyone will know but after this hard period
Besides, all I care about is that we're together
- I don't care about anything else - Me neither
I don't care about anything
And nothing will break us apart
I won't let what happened between us to be repeated
Even if you don't want me anymore, okay?
What is this?
Youssef proposed to me
Aren't you happy?
I'm surprised After all these years?
After all these years, we realized that we love each other a lot
and can't give up on each other That's why it must be done!
I'm worried about you
I don't want you to get hurt like before
Youssef never hurt me
His parents were lying to separate us
You said it yourself!
His parents were lying to you to separate you
What made them approve of this wedding now?
You weren't surprised with what I just said
You knew?
You knew
You knew and yet, you let me suffer all of these years?
How could you do that to me?
How could you let them take 10 years of my life and not do anything?
Instead of telling me a single word to make me feel better
while seeing me suffer for all of these years!
How could you?
For what?
For who?
So you wouldn't lose Mounir?
or so you wouldn't lose your job?
I would rather spend my life in poverty...
than live with people treating us like some slaves
Unfair people who are playing with us!
That's not it, let me explain
Nothing can justify what you did to me
You're the last person I thought could hurt me that much
