Sir, you were saying there's someone who wants to buy Dentelle?
- True, so you decided to sell? - Unfortunately, yes
I have no other choice
I won't wait until they takeover the company and throw us out
I thought selling is the only solution
Hopefully with the remaining amount I can start a small business
anything that could suit me
- But your debts are huge - I know
I know, what can I do It happened
Now, if we sell Dentelle, the house and the cars
we will barely repay some of the debts
What?
What do you mean?
As far as I know the loan isn't that big
The loan of Mr. Mounir may he rest in peace, is big
but this is not the main problem
The problem is that Mr. Mounir is years behind on his payments
hence he has to pay huge interest rates
and the amount is now triple it's actual value
What do you mean? There's no solution?
We'll stay still doing nothing?
There's a solution indeed
We sell Dentelle and settle a part of the loan
We sell the house and settle another part
I would rather if there are any other properties
- to sell and keep the house - I own nothing
Concerning my father's properties you should know better, sir
Mr. Mounir invested in you and your education
You should stand by each other and start from scratch
- to survive this difficult period - My mother and sister never worked
And I'm responsible for them what can they work now?
Regardless of that what are we going to do now?
I feel you
Okay, you go home now and think about it very well
If you decided to sell tell me today
I'll check with the buyer and handle it as soon as possible
Okay, I'll have an answer for you by evening
Thank you, sir sorry to bother you
Sure, no worries
- How is she dressed? - Stop it darling
- What is this trend? - Who's the designer?
- As if she's not wearing a thing - The nostril seems bigger on the left, right?
Darling, it looks like you have no nose at all
- It's horrible like this - What do you mean I have no nose?
Sweetheart, you've redone your nose and filled your lips
and made yourself thinner
- Alya is right - Do you ever stop nagging?
- Do you mean that I'm fat? - No, because you're not fat
- you don't need to do that - This is too much Photoshop!
It's not right, no one will recognize you in the real life
- I like my nose to be a bit snub - Undergo an operation...
Youssef, darling when you're done with the lawyer
inform me please
- Eat and feel the heat - She's playing me
This is unbearable
- See that? - Mirna?
- Have you seen this? - Mirna, please
Look, she seems like another person see how she overuses Photoshop?
- Who's that? - It's her
- her? - It's her
- I didn't recognize her - Give her another name
You look like...
She wants to dye it red Do you believe that?
- The red will suit your hair - She might burn her hair
- I don't think so - No...
Come on, let's finish the work hours are done
- you're too slow - Where did you take it from?
- Give it back - Come in, please
- Ladies, what about going out? - No, I can't
Where do you want to go?
Anywhere, instead of going back home and just coming to work
Don't you get bored?
- What? - What do you want?
- Do you want to go out? - No, I can't
I'm invited to dinner with Youssef
- Where are you going? - Come on, tell us, where?
We're going to a restaurant... what was it's name?
Wait, wait I'll tell you
It's Givenchy, Giovanni... or something like that
Giovanni's?
You're going to Giovanni's and sitting with us as if nothing happening?
- Do you know it? - Do I know it?
I dream of passing by it
It takes a month to book a table there
Mirna, please, take photos of everything there
Every corner, every plate every drink, everything
Video call us
Honestly, if the reservation takes a month
the least I can do is take photos of everything and have you on video call
- Let's go out, come on - Okay, I'll go out
On one condition we'd walk for a little bit
Don't drag us walking all the streets of Beirut
Yes, I can't walk too much just a little bit
God, I'm going out with old ladies
- Mirna, change your mind - I told you, I have dinner plans
What do you mean? Let her live her life
- Go and live your life sweetheart - True, live your life
Come on, let's go
Come on!
Move, Alya
- Enjoy, bye - Bye
Hello love, I just left the lawyer's office
it's a bit crowded here I can't talk right now
About dinner tonight How about a rain check?
I have many appointments couldn't cancel them
Okay, love, don't you worry but tell me, are you okay?
Sorry, love I'm really sorry
Ladies! Alya? Nadine? Wait for me!
- Do you want some? - No, it's full of calories
It's delicious
I can't believe that you were going to Giovanni's and Youssef canceled
You're so jinxed
I would give anything to find a groom like Youssef
- to take me in a world tour - Is this your ultimate dream?
Or do you want to be in love and live a good life?
I'm not as romantic as you
When he takes me in a world tour I won't just love him
I will be head over heels
You're so lucky, you fell for the right person
She didn't, dear Don't you hear the workers?
I heard that some are getting ready to resign because they're scared
If they fire me from Dentelle I'll become a beggar
- We'll all be like this - Mirna, you know
please, tell us the truth
- He's doing his best - Lupine, lupine, lupine
I want some lupine who wants some?
I'm eating this
I swear he's doing his best
I am so scared let's not talk about it, come what may
Right?
Mirna, when are you getting married please, tell us, we need to be happy
Yes, Mirna!
Do you want us to get married in such hard times?
- Yes - Yes
Mustn't we wait to know what would happen
Let come what may
If everything went fine and you get married to Youssef
will you remain a seamstress
or no, because you will be the wife of Dentelle's owner?
Are you stupid? He'll surely promote her
If I were you, I would help him in company's management
You grew in Dentelle and know everything
Give me a chance to talk you never stop
Have you heard about the show Fashion co?
- Yes - Yes
Yes, isn't it the show that introduced the designer Marwan El Omari?
Yes, true they are preparing for a new season
and asked the people who want to apply to design a wedding gown
they will then choose the contestants after a month
Mirna, apply apply, they might take you in
- You're very good - True
If you were chosen, you would win and be a famous designer
and open Mirna Couture
- and take us to work with you - Sure
I'll be personally your manager
Hey, what are you thinking of? Apply now
I have nothing ready now
Don't forget it's on T.V and live, with cameras
- That's not me at all - Stop being stupid
You said, you have a month
You can carry on drawing and throwing for a month
till you get the design you like and send it then
Listen, if you won't apply I'll steal your designs and apply
I'll get in the competition instead of you
- Very nice - What if they ask you for a design?
- What will you do, smarty? - Smarty?
I want to be accepted and go live on T.V and come what may
Give me patience, God she's my sister, I live with her
- God be with you - Sarah, Sarah?
It's Mohsen El Shawwa
Where were you? Long time no see
I'm Nour, Sarah's twin
Sarah immigrated to Mexico a while ago
You look very much like her
Send her my greetings and tell her to call me when comes back
Sure, can you remind me of your name?
Mohsen El Shawwa she'll remember me for sure
- Goodbye, ladies - Goodbye
This is the relative of a friend of mine and introduced him to me as a groom
- And? - I didn't like him
but I didn't want to break his heart
- Why you didn't like him? - As you saw, he's too snobbish
And I hate that
To be honest he had a very bad breath
- Oh! - This is disgusting
God, let's go
- You're so disgusting - I lost my appetite
Didn't you lose your appetite?
Unbelievable, she wants to take everything from me
- Hello? - How are you, love?
Yes darling, I'm fine
Tell me what happened at the lawyer's office
Nothing at all Tomorrow he will know
What did he say?
Nothing, he didn't confirm or say anything
Hopefully, we will know tomorrow
I hope you'll hear some good news tomorrow
- Hopefully, how are you? - I miss you
I miss you too
Okay, love, can't talk now
I'll see you tomorrow and we will talk, okay?
- Okay, good night - Good night
- Good evening - Good evening, Youssef Al Talle?
- Who are you? - Mirna
- Is Mr. Youssef late tonight? - He'll arrive shortly
Please, Ms. Carmen will escort you to your table
- Thank you - Welcome
- Hi - Hi
Sorry, I heard you saying
that the reservation is in Youssef Al Talle's name, is he coming?
Yes, he's on his way do you know him?
Youssef is an old friend of mine
- Is he back in Beirut? - Yes, he got back recently
Sorry, I didn't introduce myself, Jad
- Diana - Diana
- Can I have a seat until he arrives? - Yes, sure
What about calling him to tell him that we're together?
No, you'll ruin the surprise let him come and see us together
Good idea
- What do you want to drink? - What you're drinking
Great!
Tell me, how do you know Youssef?
We're friends, we met in America we used to study in the same college
- Stop it, you drink fast - You too are good
Actually, I like women who drink like men
- It's the third drink - No problem, cheers
How could Youssef make you wait?
Didn't you talk?
Can I tell you the truth without getting upset?
- Not before you tell who you are first - What?
Listen, I know that your name isn't Diana
I'm sure you've never been to America
I talked to Youssef, by the way
He's staying at home and going to bed
and knows no girl named Diana
Can you tell me what are you doing here?
And why are you using Youssef Al Talle's name?
I was just saying that I was going to tell you
Honestly, I thought you don't know Youssef
I have to take this but we're not over yet
Yes, mom?
No, I'm having dinner what is it?
I won't be late I'll be back soon
Saed, why aren't you answering?
What's wrong, what happened?
You told me yesterday you were better
You're voice is smothered
Do something, send someone to bring you medicine, call the doctor
Okay, I won't bother you go and rest
Promise me you'll call someone to get you medicine
or I'll tell your mother
Goodbye
- Rola? Do you love me? - Sure, I do
Can you be a good friend and a faithful one
loyal and respectful and go with me during the break?
I can't, I have a fitting in a few
- Please, come with me - I promise you, I can't
- Mirna will go with you - What do you mean?
Have you forgotten that I have a date with Youssef during the break
Mirna can't go with you
You two are really great real friend
I really can't
- Come on, one more bite - Please, I can't eat no more
Don't be so childish, come on
Just that and you'll carry on with the soup, come on
Finish up the soup
Finish eat, without the spoon
Thank you I have no one but you, bro
I think you shouldn't talk anymore fever has its toll on your brain
Ok, you know what? Have a little nap
I'll get in and grab you a blanket
and stay by your side in case you need anything
- No, thanks, you can go - Sleep!
You told her I'm sick?
- What did you tell him? - Nothing
He told me to think and get back to him
But I'll refuse the offer There's no way I'm going to accept
No, you should accept
- What? - I'm saying you should accept
It's the solution
I'm not telling you to convince me I'm telling you what has happened
I'm telling you it's the only solution
to avoid and your family bankruptcy and scandals
It will also save Dentelle and its workers
Including me, my uncle and friends
You can't refuse this offer, Youssef
Mirna, stop being utopian I beg you
Can't you see me stressed out?
Why are you crying? What is the point?
I'm not telling you so you convince me to accept
- Why then? - Because I must tell you
It's normal for me to tell you
I've always told you everything have I kept secrets from you?
Logically, you should accept
What about us?
Speak!
Yes, Rima?
How? There are two days before the attachment
I'm on my way
Try to stall them until I arrive
Ok, bye!
I must go now, love I'll keep you posted
Okay, Mr. Ghassan thank you so much
Sorry for bothering you Goodbye!
They will be done and gone soon
I talked to Mr. Ghassan he said it's a routine procedure
We can't do nothing
I can't take it anymore
I'm scared for your sister and her wellbeing
I'm sorry, I promised you to handle it, but I couldn't
Believe me, I didn't spare a way but it didn't work
It's not your fault
What could you do with this big burden?
It's a very heavy burden which killed Mounir
May he rest in peace
Better to stay at your parents' in the mountains for a couple of days
until we finish everything and figure out what to do
I don't want you to be present when they seize the house and stuff
Especially Yara, I don't want her here
What house? It's been sold years ago
You sold your parents' house?
Mounir asked me to sell the house a few years ago
I agreed and never asked him why
If I only knew we would face such difficult times
I wouldn't have sold it
Youssef, you told us not to worry
and that you'll handle everything
What are we going to do now? What will happen to us now?
Lower your voice, we have people around I can't deal with you now
Your sister didn't mean to make you responsible
We know very well that you have nothing to do with this
Sir, we've finished upstairs
I need you to see the jewels and put them on the list
- What jewels? - The Madame and the lady's jewels
You can't take the jewelry it's personal property
Mr. Mounir and yourself had a joint account
Which means that anything that you possess or any of the heirs
will be automatically considered as Mounir Bey's property
and will be allocated to settle the debts including the jewelry
Hold on, please I need to check with my lawyer
Hello? Ghassan!
Some guy here is saying that Rima's and Yara's jewels
are included in the attachment is that true?
Fine, okay, goodbye
Go with him
Come with me to show you them
I'll never forgive him for what he did to us
He ruined my life
- What's wrong dad? - Tell us!
What's happening, dad?
Congratulations dear Youssef proposed to marry you
Rola? Bring Mrs. Souhair's dress and come
- You want it now? - Yes, the lady is on her way
- But I'm not done repairing it - Grab the dress and follow me, hurry
Go on, quick stop acting lazy
Listen, whatever she says you respond "okay and yes"
Understood? Whatever she does in front of the lady, don't answer back
Good morning, sorry I couldn't answer quickly
It's okay, I wanted to talk to you urgently
- I'll see you upstairs - No, not upstairs
I have a place in mind we can go there
Ah, okay
Let me see how can I escape give me ten minutes, okay?
- Listen, are you okay? - I'm fine, yes, nothing bad
I'll wait for you at the street corner
I'm in my car, bye!
How could it be Hayat that this dress is not as I asked?
My apologies, Mrs. Souhair
I will personally make sure
that everything will be ready before you arrive tomorrow
Tomorrow? Who said I'll return tomorrow?
You know the time of the party
Since when I make two fittings for a dress?
You're right, we will deliver the dress at your house
Rola will deliver it and make sure that everything is right
- You'll be satisfied, Mrs. Souhair - Thank you so much
Please, don't be late I'll be waiting
Sure, Rola please help the lady
Mother, isn't there something weird in that engagement?
Weird? Like what?
For how long did Youssef know Mira for him to fall in love and get engaged?
Not everyone gets married that way
What do you mean?
It means that sometimes there's attraction
It's a good reason for two people to come close to one another
to see if this attraction will grow fonder
I think the attraction between them from a long time
Since we met him in America do you remember?
I remember that she was really attracted to him
Let's suppose what your saying is true
Why didn't this attraction grow stronger when we were in America?
Why didn't he do that till now as he started facing bad times?
On the contrary because he's experiencing bad times
and because Mira stood by him they will get closer, daughter
I don't know what to say mother
She's just like you good hearted and believes everyone
Seriously? I'm dying to know why are you so skeptical?
Have I ever been wrong before? Have my skepticism deceived me once?
Mom, you'll see that this engagement
has everything to do with his financial crisis
Youssef is after money like father like son
Anyway, they won't get married right away
They will get to know each other and we will do too
Listen, don't try talking about your skepticism to your sister
Leave her happy
Do you believe she would listen to me?
I'm just telling you because if you think about it
you can see what's happening here
My sister is stupidly in love
and dad is feeling guilty since his brother passed away
I'm late for work I have to go
What are you thinking about?
I'm thinking about the last time we came here together
Do you know that wherever I go
I keep thinking if we went there together or no
It's like chasing every memory we created
and checking if I still recall it
Or if I can create a new memory at the same place
I know that what happened is far from being easy
Yesterday, when you got the call I wanted to check on you
I even thought to call on you at home
I thought that maybe Rima and your sister won't accept
Then I changed my mind
Youssef, are you okay?
Anything else bothering you other than Dentelle and the house?
You usually look me in the eyes when I talk to you
unless there's something you know it will make me sad
but you need to tell me so, what's wrong?
I didn't just let you down, Mirna
I let myself down before
But at the same time I can't let my father down
whom I promised to protect his dream
I can't let Rima and Yara down they might end up on the streets
I just can't stop thinking that my absence caused them to be in this state
with everything happened
It maybe the time for me now to pay for my absence
but this time I won't be paying alone
Say it, Youssef
This time I want to hear it from you not from anyone else
So I don't get it wrong
Look me in the eyes and say it
I took my uncle's offer
- Good morning - Good morning beautiful
- You woke up early, what is it? - I didn't sleep at all
I've waited Dana to leave so you will b alone
- It seems there's a secret - It is with you
Isn't it a bit weird for Youssef to talk to you before telling me?
He acted according to our traditions and came straight forward
This is very traditional I don't think Youssef's like that
and he said nothing at all to me
You're forgetting that this is a delicate issue, dad
If Youssef wanted to propose to a strange girl
and thought about it well
When proposing to his cousin he should think way more
You're forgetting the delicate situation between our families
He must talk to me first
So if I say no this won't even happen
To be honest, I respect him more now
- Sure, the decision is yours - No, I didn't mean that
Youssef is great we do even think alike
I'm not objecting but just trying to understand
What should I tell him? You're thinking about it?
You agree? What is your answer?
Tell him that she stayed up all night and went to bed
- See you at lunch? - Sure, sweetheart
Hi, sweetheart
Tell me, love?
Are you here to carry on investigating, darling?
No, we have some questions Mira and I
But the real investigation will be with Dana
- What do you want to ask? - I want my daughter to be okay, love
I don't care about the new or old problems caused by your brother's family
I don't get it, what has it to do with Youssef's proposal?
I don't know
- The timing, are you okay with it? - Bella, it's my daughter
It's my daughter what's wrong with you?
I didn't interfere in Dentelle for the sake of my daughter, no
I interfered in Dentelle because calculations are business to me
It's money
It's in my best interest to see this company working again
I'll benefit from that
I didn't interfere in Dentelle because Youssef asked me to do so
or for Youssef's sake
I interfered in Dentelle before Youssef's proposal
They are two different things
Youssef, can I have a word?
The employees are scared and some have resigned
Others are hesitating they're hearing rumors about work
and don't know what to do
I don't like what is going with you
I don't want to ask you nor pressure you
You need to ease their fears
Tell them not to worry everything is solved
Okay, good tell me, what have you done?
My uncle Sami will be a partner in Dentelle
and he'll settle all the bank's loans
Sami?
Good, maybe this is better
Regardless the old problems the blood is stronger than water
Your uncle will never hurt you nor control you like strangers
I think you'll feel at ease but you need to talk to the employees
You should tell them this personally
so they will clam down and be relieved
and know that you're feeling their fears and want their best interest
Where are my scissors? Who keeps taking them?
Is it you? Give them back
What have you decided to name it?
- Faroua, yes - Faroua?
Isn't he cute?
Listen well, ladies
In the past period, many worked without paying attention
I want you to understand, if it's your or my last day at Dentelle
I won't take it easy no matter what
Today, you'll work in discipline
I won't have anyone saying
that the seamstresses working for Mrs. Hayat are not disciplined
Is it clear?
You have 10 minutes to finish what you're doing
and meet me in the hall Youssef Bey wants to talk to you
Where's Mirna?
