Youssef, it seems that everyone isn't happy
Why do you care? They think that we're still young
Later, they'll know that we're not
They can't stop us from seeing each other
What might happen? Would they lock us up in the house?
My uncle isn't letting me use the phone at all
I noticed that he's always picking up
Rima agreed with my father she said I shouldn't go to work
I should focus on studying more
By the way, I love seeing you outside Dentelle
- Take this mobile phone - Is this yours?
No, that's for you Keep it with you to talk and meet
No, Youssef, I'm not taking it it seems expensive
Don't waste our time with this I brought it, keep it with you
Okay, teach me how to use it
Look, you'll make it silent from here so uncle Amin won't know about it
You should know that I'll call you every 10 minutes
- Mirna - "Episode 17"
I think you should focus on yourself
your future and on the time you've lost
It's not possible for a talented girl like you, to stay a tailor in Dentelle
Go, live your life
In case Youssef decided to break up the engagement, fine, that's great
You'll get back together and get married
But in case he was a jerk and didn't do it
At least, you'd have saved yourself and future
And didn't keep waiting for a sign from him to know what to do with your life
I always think about what you're saying
But I've always hoped that this nightmare will be over
He'll break up with her and get back to me
I don't want you to keep on hoping for something that might not happen
That's it, let it go and hope for the best
As we agreed, focus on your future the time you've lost is enough
You're right
- At least say hello - How are you?
You're late Hope you weren't actually working
Are you making fun of me? He's depending on me in everything
Yeah, thankfully, in everything
- Whose is this? - Eat it, hope you'll like it
Girls, don't be late in your break
Girls, if you'd excuse me Saed I'd like to talk to you about Rola
- Right, where is she? - Follow me
Come on
A salesperson should work full time I don't like splitting shifts
Responsibility will be on everyone
In case any mistake happened we won't know who did it
I thought, if there were a morning shift and an evening one
I'd choose the evening shift
Honestly, I want you to work full time
If you need someone to tighten or fix something for the customers
I can do that too
I already have someone specialized in this
Alright
This is my card
In case you needed anything call me
Your card?
I don't have a job for you at the store but I do at home
I leave my son alone at home
I either take him to my mother or she comes to babysit him
But she can't handle a child anymore do you want to work in the evening?
What do you think?
- Nadine, what is this? - What?
What is this?
This is the list you asked for
About the reporters that will attend the conference
Really? Let's check it together
Madam Pascal Ghareeb actually, he's a man
The Editor in Chief for "Fashion Today" website, not "Fachion Today"
Sorry, I'll correct that
You'll correct them now? You can't
You even wrote the positions wrong
What is this? "Fashion Police"?
It's "Fashion Today" not "Fashion Police"
What are you thinking about today? Instagram, right?
Leave it here, I'll do it again
Do it again
I want it to be on my desk after 15 minutes, okay?
Where is the conference budget that I asked for 2 hours ago?
- I'm working on it - You're still working on it?
After 15 minutes, I want them both
Both
I want you to keep on watching him
Rami and Simon, please keep an eye on them closely
- Don't you worry - Ok?
Don't get out or leave the house before I come back, okay?
Please, my mother you should take care of her as possible
If she enters the bathroom watch out for her
Last time, she entered the bathroom she fell down
Pay attention to her as possible
No worries
Please, if you needed anything you can call me
- Alright - Rola, bring me water
Can you put this medication on my leg? It's hurting me a lot
To Besbes
Beso, I'm dying to see the collection
Mr. Sami, it'll be beyond your imagination, trust me
I promise, you'll be amazed
I'll be amazed? I should with all the money I've paid
- But I'm worthy, right JoJo? - Yeah, sure
Let's take a photo what do you think?
- Yes, I'll take the photo - Alright dear, alright Beso
You're a family I'll take this photo for you
I'll participate in the photo come closer to each other
- Alright, let's eat - Let's drink to that again
Welcome
When I first saw you in Dentelle I thought that I should date this girl
Really?
Do you remember the first time we met?
That was the first time I do maintenance in Dentelle
Yeah, that's right That day, we were shocked
Because were used to another engineer for a long time
Then, you came suddenly I said, "he'll break the machines"
Don't be upset with me sometimes I say things bluntly
I don't think about what I say
This thing made me like you more don't change that
Wait a minute
You said that since you first saw me you wanted to go out with me, right?
Were you breaking the machines?
Really?
It happened once only I don't have another way to talk to you
I thought about breaking the machine so I give you my number and talk to you
Come on Mr. Khaled tell me, what are you hiding?
What do you think? Isn't it better than the mess I used to live in?
Yeah, just be sure that no one is watching you
I'm sure, I've paid a huge amount of my debt
I'll pay the rest on time as I promised
I meant Sami or anyone on his behalf
No, don't worry
I'm sure he hasn't seen me and he doesn't know how I look like
Great, that's what we want
He should be scared of someone he doesn't know, to come to him suddenly
I want to make him lose sleep
I want him to look over his shoulder
I want him to stay frightened, worried and suspicious of everyone
Do you hate him that much?
Now...
Let's think about the second stage
I think we should face him that's the best option
No, not yet
Do it slowly don't reveal all your cards at once
I want him to stay frightened
Until he comes to ask you about what you want
I give up
Why are you posing? Who are these people?
These people...
Bassel has sent them over to take photos of his work
Why are they taking photos of his work? Stop taking photos of me
Stop taking photos of her Why are you doing that?
I don't know Bassel is a weird person
This is for you
This is yours
Give it to me
Who sent this?
I was accepted in the program
Come here, come here
What is this?
This is "Fashion and Co" program they are taking photos of Mirna
Why?
Because she won and entered the contest
Hopefully, she'll win and become the best designer in the country
That's amazing
How do you feel about being accepted?
I'm so happy to be accepted in this program
Because I think that it reveals talents to the audience
I have a lot of designs that I'd love to show to the world
I hope people will like me
and I'll win this program
Are you scared because of this experience?
Please, I want to take an appointment for dialysis
The first appointment is after 3 months do you want to make a reservation?
What? Isn't there an earlier one?
The first appointment is after 3 months if you want, make a reservation
If anyone didn't show up you can replace him
No, that won't work I need an appointment for next week
Unfortunately, I don't have one here
The best thing you can do is to leave your name here
I'll put you on the waiting list
Okay, thank you
Hello?
I knew about your participation in the program by chance
No, I tried to tell you but you were very busy
When I first applied for it I wanted to tell you about it
I don't remember that but if that's the case, I'm sorry
Congratulations
I'm happy for you
Absolutely, we should celebrate the good news, right?
Youssef, what's the matter? Don't make excuses, we've agreed
We're doing as agreed
But such occasion deserves an exception
Stop thinking about it
Get ready, I'll pass by in 2 hours
Alright, bye
What is this restaurant? How did you find it?
What do you think of it?
I don't want you to think if I was away I won't know my way around Beirut
Did you like it?
It's excellent, but you should've found something further than this
- Or maybe a cave to hide inside - Really?
Can we forget about everything and celebrate your achievement?
Let's celebrate the first step towards our dreams
My dreams
You don't even want to say "our dreams"?
I don't want to say that while you're not mine
You know that I'm yours I'll always be yours
You know Youssef? Let's stop talking about this nonsense
I still can't believe that I've made a decision, and I can do it
I want you to help me
keep going
At least, I would be satisfied with who I am
It's enough that I've lost you
I don't want to lose myself too
Alright
But I'll keep my promise to you
You know that it's only a matter of time for me
But you don't want to be patient and you insist on losing me
No, there is a big difference between "don't want" or "can't"
I am patient, but I won't accept this until you fix it
You'll get back to me, as I want
You know? Although I was happy that I was accepted in this program
Which I consider a lifetime opportunity to accomplish a part of my dreams
I was happier that this happened now
Maybe because I prayed a lot
I asked God to make me stronger with you being away
So I got this chance in the program so I would keep myself busy
To stay away until the period you're talking about, ends
If that will make you feel better then, alright
Still, you'll always be mine
You should know that very well
You know what? We agreed to have fun today
And not talk about the future, right?
That's right
Rola?
What is it? What is it?
Are you going to leave me alone? Come and help me, get inside!
No, you've come a long way not only in clothes
You've started wearing make-up and accessories
Later, you'll be coming back from the spa
My blouse is so simple I thought I should wear some accessories
Make it look better? Only Khaled was able to make you better
- Stop, don't say that - Stop it
- Sorry, did we wake you? - Not at all
It's alright dear, she should wake up she barely has the time to get dressed
- Have breakfast and go to work - Don't say that
she couldn't sleep all night I noticed she was moving around a lot
I didn't feel anything
Because you don't have any feelings
- What's the matter with her? - I don't know
Stand still to take a photo for you
Is it good?
- Is everything alright? - Yes, it's alright
- Stand there and take a pose - Alright, what do you do?
I was surprised that she's still here
Who?
- Mirna - Yes, she's still here
Your eyes can pop out with all this staring
I don't know about this lunch you have a lot of work to do
- Are you Hayat? - No
Then, it's none of your business
What is this?
- You look beautiful - Thanks to Khaled the engineer
- Is he coming? - No, yes
Yes, he's coming to take me out for lunch
Then, I'll come back to work
Go and have fun but don't be late
You can be late as much as you want Rola and I will cover for you
Okay, thank you Alright, I should go, he's here
- Bye - Be careful with my jacket
I'll be careful, don't worry
- Do I look good? - You look great
Is Khaled going to come here everyday?
Have you seen them together? They look cute
They are suitable for each other they are happy together
We should go out with him I should evaluate him
- I know a lot about men - Please, don't evaluate anyone
Let them be happy right Saed?
Yes, right, the most important thing is for her to be happy
But I'm missing her she has never been so much distant
Sure, with work and going out with Khaled, she'll be a bit distant
But we're her friends we should understand that, right?
Sure, friends should understand each other, right?
Saodi, there are quotations about the event
I did an Excel sheet with all the accounts
But I need someone to check them what if I made some mistakes?
Leave them for a couple of days then check them again
You'll know if there is anything wrong
Sometimes, a person should let things go to see things better
Alright, I have work to do bye girls
What's the matter? He'll be upset all the time? I don't get it
Nadine, you should be easy on him until he gets you relationship with Jad
Thank God you said something I don't think you're alright
- I don't think I'm alright - Why? What's the matter?
Nothing, don't worry about me
I don't want to work in the evening I found a job in the weekends
You'll work during your weekend, Rola?
Isn't it better than working all day and night?
Both ways I'm destined to suffer
Would you please put on warmer clothes next time you go out?
Bassel, please tell Dana again about your opinion of the collection
- So she can understand - There is no need
- We have different tastes - Exactly
I want to tell you that my new assistant designer Mirna and I
Are working hard as possible to finish the collection on time
And to make the show on time It's going to be new and unique
Dentelle will be the talk of everyone interested in fashion
Not only in Lebanon and Beirut but worldwide
This time, Dentelle will be a hit
There is another thing, we wanted to ask the administration about
Yes, thank you Mirna
Right, we have a couple of dresses that need special treatment
They need to be sewed by hand
That's why, Mirna and I agreed on taking some tailors from the gallery
To work on them and nothing else
- What about their work? - Dandon, darling
It's none of my business
Otherwise, you'll bring new employees that will cost you a lot
Mirna and I are busy we're sorry, we have work
Let's go
- Excuse us - Don't worry
Did you really like the collection or you're just being stubborn?
Stubborn? Why would I do that? Do you think we're playing here?
Bassel has a unique style that's why we hired him
I understand if you didn't like his designs
But as you said people have different tastes
Not only the style
Have you noticed that they are consuming a lot of the cloths we brought?
Isn't it enough that we might not be able to pay the cost?
Which is a possibility only if the collection wasn't successful?
Dana is right about that
What about the girls he'll hire for sewing only?
As if Bassel doesn't understand the financial crisis we're in
Youssef, you should be tougher with him you need to be decisive
Because he's an artist
He only cares about how to make designs out of images in his head
But expenses, numbers and overtime work aren't comprehensible for him
Exactly like this job isn't comprehensible for you both
Sorry, but this is the truth
Alright, but I'm trying to learn
Yara is also trying to learn
I hope we'll all do the same to get out of this crisis with minimum loss
In general, we agreed from the first day when you insisted on hiring Bassel
That you'll be responsible for this decision
Is that what you care about now? To be responsible for that?
Alright then, I'm ready to be responsible for that
- Is that good? - It's good
if the show was a success
Otherwise, we'll reconsider that responsibility
Excuse me
Don't worry
Youssef, don't be upset
This is business I have to give an opinion
It doesn't matter who's closer
On the contrary
I'm glad that you have an opinion and you talk about business
I wish next time you'll tell me that privately
Don't surprise me in a meeting
Alright
Isn't it a bit expensive?
Expensive? No, this isn't a copy
- You're buying something original - Tell her not to do that, please
She's saying it's a copy I'm paying for this
Stop it, you're always pessimistic
Are you coming with us or you're staying late?
No, I'm still working Are you leaving?
- Do you want us to help you? - No dear, thank you
Finish your work and come with us tomorrow is the weekend
We're not gonna get up early come, let's spend the evening together
Take it easy, that's their job not yours they'll never appreciate your work
I don't care if they appreciated that or not
- I'm happy, that's what matters - Because you're stupid
Anyone else would've asked for a raise Since Bassel Hareb asked...
You personally to work with him Now, come and spend the night with us
You know what? Let's dine out
I can't go out with you for dinner or go to your house
I have to go to the hospital I don't want to be late
Are you still sleeping there?
Thanks to them, I can sleep in the hospital in the weekends at least
Rola, this private hospital is taking good care of you
You're sleeping next to Adam every weekend
Don't get pregnant now it's not a good time at all
Stop, that's rude don't say something like that
Why? They are married Did I say something wrong?
If Khaled held your hand don't tell him that's rude
Alright, I'm late, bye
Why are you so rude? Her husband can't do anything
She was joking
Easy on Rola a bit she's really tired these couple of days
You're so lame, I was wrong to go out with you not with Jad
Let's go now I'm tired because of these high heels
You're tired of these high heels
Let's go
This file is for Bassel, where is he? How come he left you working alone?
He took a break
He said that when he's blocked he likes to go out for a walk
So he can inspired
He's crazy
Part of his talent that he's crazy they say "Art is crazy"
What about you? You're so talented but you're not crazy
You're crazy a little
- Are you inspired? - No, there's no point
- Hi Youssef - How are you Bassel?
This is the file I told you about here you go
Youssef, can we not speak about work tonight? I can't think at all
I don't know what's the matter with me
You know what? Why don't we go out to have dinner?
Why not? I don't mind that
- Call Mira to meet us - I can't go
I promised my uncle to have dinner with him
Maybe some other time
It's okay
I'll go, we'll call Mira on the way
- I'm sorry for being late - No, I was just worried about you
I didn't want to call you I thought you might be at work
I didn't want to cause you any problems
Thanks, that's kind of you
Do you want to eat?
You eat, I don't feel like it
What are you talking about?
I ordered from a great restaurant I haven't eaten there since forever
Because, I used to get fat because I like its dishes a lot
Now, you'll eat the best food have a seat
- Come on - Thank you
Do you want to start with the salad?
No, get me something to drink first
As you wish
This is restaurant is very popular the food is delicious
You put the ice so I can get the dish
- Do you want ice? - Yes, sure
There's another dish more delicious than this
But we'll start with this now then, we'll eat that
Alright
Isn't that amazing?
Try this Mutabal, it's amazing the beans are well known
Let me do it, let me do it
I told you that I don't eat breakfast
You don't eat breakfast lunch or dinner, are you stingy?
Or maybe you feel disgusted?
I washed my hands and the vegetables well
If you feel disgusted you can come to the kitchen to oversee
Better than leaving quickly you barely drink your tea
- I'm not here for that - I know
But our work takes time you can't do that every time
We're not meeting outside so no one can see us, that's okay
But here, we're alone Why are you scared?
I'm scared because I don't know him anymore
- I don't know how he'll react - Who?
Sami
Sami I know is not the same as the one we're manipulating now
These 30 years have changed me I'm sure, he has changed too
He's not that guy who likes to go out and have fun
He became a business man with a lot of money, who threatens me
You told me about him in the past and now, what about you?
What about me?
About the 30 years, although I don't believe it, but it's okay
Who were you before all of this?
- You're so calm - By the way
These details matter for the work between us
Not only because I want to know you better
Let's start with the confrontation isn't that better?
No, confrontation is easier for him I prefer to keep him worried
Yes, I'm afraid, if we played this for a long time, he won't think it's serious
Trust me, confrontation is the best option
