[bunniefuu]

-Do you want to buy some?
-No.

-No, I don't.
-Please. That's better.

-Please, only 250, I want to eat.
-No, I don't want it. Go away.

Are you okay? Are you hurt? Animal!

-Get up.
-Animal!

EPISODE 14

Please, buy a rose, buy one.

Please, buy a rose, buy one.

Please, buy a rose,
give me 1,000, just 1,000, I'm hungry.

-I want to eat.
-Go away.

Give me 1,000 and I'll go away.

-Go away, come on.
-You go away, what a dirty person!

What an animal!

-Buy a rose, come on.
-Go away, my dear, leave.

May God be good to you.

Wejdan!

What is it? Don't you recognize me?

No, where do I know you from?

-It's me, Khouloud.
-Khouloud?

-I don't know you.
-Do you think I'm an idiot?

You always give me money
when you're here, how do you not know me?

-I do that?
-Yes.

My love, do something,
give her some money or something.

-Okay. Listen.
-My love!

My love, this pretty young girl's name
is not Wejdan, her name is Reem.

-What's your name, brave girl?
-Khouloud.

Khouloud, very nice name.
Okay, now, this is from...

Reem.

You mean Wejdan.

Okay, Wejdan then.

This is for the rose.

-That's okay, give her more, dear.
-I'll give her more.

And this is from me.

Go on, now, my dear.

Those poor kids on the streets.

-I love you.
-Love you, too.

Let's go over there.

My love, I want your medical file
to send to the doctor in France.

Can we not talk about that now?

Reem, don't go if you don't want to,
but I have to send the file.

That way, I'll have done what I have to
and God will handle the rest.

Okay, I'll give you
everything tomorrow.

The office.

Hello, Sonia?

Sorry to bother you, Mr. Hadi,
but someone is asking for you here.

I told him you're not here, but he
won't leave until he's talked to you.

-Who is he?
-Give me the phone.

-God give you strength, boss.
-Who's this?

You're right to forget my voice.

You haven't heard it for five years maybe.

Don't get smart with me, who's talking?

Fawaz.

Fawaz Dabbous.

Do you remember me?

Welcome, welcome.

Wait for me,
I'll be there in a few minutes.

Is something wrong?

No, my dear,
an appointment I forgot about.

I have to go to the office,
should I drop you at home on my way?

No, I'll ask Amine to pick me up.

I'll take a walk.

Okay, my love.

Don't forget our dinner tonight.

I remember.

Your phone.

Hadi...

keep this with you.

Rasheed, please tell me,
did Mahmoud do something bad?

No, nothing at all.

I swear by Hanane
that I won't tell anyone,

your secret is safe with me.

Aunt Nadia, I told you there's nothing,
so forget about it.

Okay then.

-No, that's not true, no.
-Um Mahmoud.

-I can't believe it.
-Calm down.

-He's surely a victim here.
-I'm the one to blame.

-He's surely a victim here.
-Calm down, please.

-How can I calm down?
-He stole to get me the machine.

How can I calm down?
Tell me how, just tell me.

-My dear.
-This is Mahmoud, it's Mahmoud.

You raised him, you know him very well,
Mahmoud is not a thief.

Mahmoud is a good person,
he's not a bad one.

Just calm down, my sister,
there's a solution to every problem.

Be patient, come on, come,
let's go to your room, come on.

-How can I calm down?
-Count on God, things will be solved.

-How can I calm down?
-Calm down, Abou Mahmoud.

We'll get him the best lawyer.

What will the lawyer do?

They have evidence,
the camera showed him there.

It's my fault, he had to get me
a machine to help me breathe.

He had to steal, it's my fault.

-Why did this have to happen?
-Calm down, just calm down.

-My God!
-Calm down, Abou Mahmoud.

-Calm down, calm down.
-What's the use of living?

-What's the use of living?
-Calm down, everything will be settled.

My dear, calm down,
calm down, my friend.

Yes, Jamil, where's the file?

No, I can't wait any longer.

I don't care, just find a way
and put a stamp on it.

Okay, I'm waiting for you.

Don't let me go crazy,
you're Wejdan.

Come sit next to me, come on.

My name is Reem...

but between you and I, I'm Wejdan.

What does that mean?

That means, if you want me
to keep giving you money,

when you see me with someone,
you act as if you don't know me.

-Deal?
-Deal.

You just got 1,000.

I'll pay you later.

Okay then, and that man,
he's your boyfriend?

He's not just my boyfriend,
he's my brother and father.

He's the best thing in my life.

Why are you lying to him then?

Sometimes in life...

we have to lie to the people we love...

to avoid hurting them,
or so they're not mad at us.

I'm a liar, I lie a lot.

Everyone lies...

but the most important thing
is that they admit it.

Does everyone steal as well?

Not everyone.

There are many kinds of thieves.

There are thieves who steal cars,
houses and money.

Then you have
the most dangerous kind of thief.

Those who steal your laughter...

your childhood and dreams.

But do you know
what the nicest kind of thief is?

Who?

Those who steal your heart.

Come closer.

-Mahmoud Fayad, sir.
-Untie him.

Sit.

Mahmoud Fayad, born June 1st, 1975.

Studied accounting
at the Lebanese University.

We asked for your judicial register,
it's clean, nothing on it.

Listen, Mahmoud, I didn't send for you
to open an official investigation.

Look, the clerk is not here.

Our conversation will not leave
these four walls.

You're an educated person, Mahmoud,
so, tell me, what made you do this?

What happened with you?

Even if it's not
an official investigation, sir...

please take note.

It was poverty that made me do it.

If every poor man stole, Mahmoud,
then people would eat each other.

People have already eaten each other, sir.

It's already been done.

But you're an educated person,
you can't use that logic as an excuse.

I'm a person in need.

My university degree is useless.

It didn't fill my refrigerator with food...

nor did it help me buy
an oxygen machine for my dad.

So, you stole and ruined your life
and your future?

Ruined my life?

Ruined my future?

Who's got a future
in a country like this, sir?

They made us hungry and poor,
they humiliated us.

We are living like dogs in humiliation.

They took everything from us.

They even stole our dignity.

Sir, I stole and I don't regret it.

Punish me if you want,

but in the process,
I wish you'd punish the real thieves

who stole everything from us
and got us into this situation.

-Close the door after you.
-I will.

Do you have a lighter?

You're not allowed to smoke in the office.

Okay, I'll smoke without lighting it.

But can you order a cup of coffee
from the young lady sitting outside?

It's not worthwhile,
you won't have any time to drink it.

Go on, tell me what you want.

Wait, no "hello"?

You haven't seen me...

for about five years.

I'll ask you again, tell me what you want.

My right.

Your right?

-I don't owe you a thing.
-No, you owe me a lot.

Calculate it with me.

Five years in jail, plus...

what you did to my late sister...

what's the result?

The result is a beating you deserve.

Distorted.

Whatever you do, it'll stay distorted.

I didn't expect to hear that
from a polite, nice,

classy, and good man like yourself.

Listen, dear,
I'm good to those who are good.

I'm bad with those who are bad,
like yourself.

I'd like you not to come over here again.

It's over.
It's only a small amount, a tiny bit.

You'll buy your peace of mind with it.

Nice, and this amount will be followed
by another, and so on.

I swear, you know how much I like you.

It's only 2,000 dollars
and then you'll never see me again.

In both cases,
I don't want to see you again.

Your brand of extortion
and blackmail won't work here.

I have a suggestion then.

What would you think about me trying
your brother in this particular case?

Don't you dare go near my brother!

$200,000, then you
and your brother will never see me again.

I need to smoke,
there's no lighter, come on!

What's this statue?
Is it a man or a woman?

There's lipstick, it's a woman.

What are you thinking about,
my pretty wife?

I'm thinking about you.

Where have you been? Why are you late?

I was buying something.

What is it?

A small, little thing.

It seems you don't like it.

-What is that?
-A piece of leather.

It's our wedding ring.

That's your right hand,
it's for our engagement.

Wear it on the left hand.

I know that the right hand
is for engagements.

But I've asked you to give me some time.

When I'm ready,
I'll wear it on the left hand.

I can't believe it,
is it possible Mahmoud did it?

Yes, it is possible.
In this country, anything is possible.

They made us abandon our principles
and dignity for our livelihood.

How terrible!

How miserable Um Mahmoud
and Abou Mahmoud are now!

How terrible!

But tell me, won't he be found innocent?

How can they think he's innocent
when they caught him on camera?

No, we can't leave the boy,
we have to get him a lawyer.

A lawyer can find many ways
to reduce the sentence.

This lawyer would have to be smart and
good at pulling strings with contacts,

otherwise, it won't work.

Where can we find a lawyer like that?
Do you know how much it will cost?

I don't know.

I really don't know.

I know.

Sariah told me that Mr. Basil got married,
congratulations.

Mrs. Sahar seems to come
from a good family,

how long have you known her?

What is it to you if I know her or not?

I'm sorry, ma'am,
it's none of my business,

I just thought we could chat for a bit.

Your job isn't to chat with me,
your job is to drive.

Yes, ma'am.

Hello?

How are you, Reem? Can you talk?

Not really, is there something wrong?

Yes, I need a favor from you.

Listen, girls, I don't want to repeat
the same thing every time.

There are some clients
who are complaining.

What's the most important thing?

-Hygiene.
-Money.

Physical and psychological hygiene.

-Get me my shoes, Sousou.
-Yvonne, my sister is sick.

-I need to leave.
-Calm down.

Why are you always crying
as if you're a bad omen?

-Please, Yvonne.
-What did you say?

-My sister is sick.
-You want to leave?

-She's sick.
-We have clients coming.

-We've got work to do, stand up, come on.
-What work, Yvonne?

I'm telling you,
my sister is seriously sick,

let me go, just to check on her.

Calm down, I'll call Jaber,
he'll pick you up.

Why Jaber? I can go and come back
before he gets here.

Let me check on her.

-Fifi.
-Please, Yvonne.

Fifi,
I hope this isn't one of your tricks.

What tricks?

You did this once before
and you saw what happened to you.

Come with me if you don't believe me,
we can go together to see her.

My dear, where will I go?

Go, but don't be late.

-Come back before the clients arrive.
-Okay.

Come closer.

I can't believe it, put some perfume on.

We have a lot of perfume here.

Come on, Sousou, come on, give me that,
we'll set this night on fire.

I want you to get all those men
very excited.

Come on, let's move.

Sousou, take all these girls
to the secret hide-out, quickly.

Damn! It's only you,
you got me so scared!

Is that Fifi who just left?

Yes, it was her, she went to check
on her sick sister.

You idiot! Fifi doesn't have a sister!

Come in, Mona.

This is the best maté
for the nicest person.

-Thanks.
-Enjoy.

Please, Mona, get me
the blood pressure medicine from there.

Of course.

I need to take a pill.

May you get well soon.

Thank you.

-Mona.
-Yes?

Don't go to sleep,
the boys are going to eat out,

and I need to find the keys
for the box today, whatever it takes.

As you wish,
no worries, I won't go to sleep.

Once they leave,
we'll do whatever it takes.

Welcome, Mr. Hadi, welcome.

I'll leave you alone, any requests?

-Nothing at all.
-See you.

My dear, you won't change your mind
and come with us?

My love, you know I go to sleep early,
go have fun and don't worry about me.

Okay.

Hello?

I'm sorry for calling you at this time,
but I wanted to give you my number.

In case you wanted to call me tomorrow
before I do it.

Okay, I'm busy right now,
we'll talk later.

Anything wrong, my love?

No, nothing, you won't change your mind
and come with us?

My love...

-Are you taking your medicine?
-Sure.

-Are you sure?
-Of course.

How pretty you are!

Let me see!

That dress is so nice!

Do you like it?

Not just the dress,
but the woman wearing it too.

It's very open and I'm a jealous person,

and I'd like my love
and my sweetheart to change.

But I don't care,
because I know what I've got.

Where's the ring?

Sorry, my love, I'm not used to it.

Here's the ring!

Get dressed,
I want you to look handsome tonight.

Please, Basil, don't make me feel guilty.

I know that I made you really sad today...

that's why...

I'll change my dress.

My heart is standing on the edge...

And here you come

Hello?

Listen, you b*stard.
Don't try to play tricks on me.

Of course not. Who would dare?

-I just wanted to give you my number.
-Don't get smart with me!

Don't make me focus on you!

Don't you try, do you get it?

You too, don't try me. $200,000.

You'll never hear
my voice again or see me.

It's your choice.

Only your choice.

Hadi?

Isn't Reem ready yet?

Not yet.

Are you okay, Hadi? Anything wrong?

No, not at all, thanks.

-Are you sure?
-Yes, I'm sure.

Where is Basil?

He's in the bathroom,
he'll be down in a bit.

I'll be waiting outside.

By the way, nice dress.

What?

I hope you like the restaurant.

Yes, but why are we alone?

I booked it all for us...

that way no one will bother us, right?

It's very nice.

It's the first time someone's invited me
to such a nice restaurant.

I've not gone out like this
in a long, long time.

But it's okay.

-Are you serious?
-Yes.

When I got married,
I thought my life would change.

I thought he'd take me out to parties
and give me the good life.

Instead, he k*lled me.

I'll make sure you live.

Moreover, I'll help you get rid
of that b*stard husband of yours.

We'll start a new chapter, a new life,
with even the smallest details.

Your make-up,
your hair, your clothes, everything.

I think that
a red bob haircut would suit you.

And your eyes...

if you put lenses in,
green lenses, they'd suit you.

We have to forget about Fifi,
we want to go back to Farah, right?

But even if I go back to Farah,
Fifi will still be inside me.

Fifi is living inside me, Omar.

Even if you change the color of my eyes,

you'll remember me
every time you look at me.

You'll be ashamed of me
and every time we want to go somewhere

you'll have to book it all just for us.

Do you know why?

Because you'll be afraid
we'll meet an old client of mine.

No, I didn't book the whole restaurant
because I'm ashamed of you.

Yes, and I'm not blaming you,
that is your right.

Let's not fool each other and let's admit
that Farah and Fifi are the same person.

Long or short hair,
red, or brown, or blond hair.

On the street, in the house, in bed,
anywhere, they are the same person.

-I swear, Fifi...
-What do you want from me, Omar?

What do you want from me,
I've accepted my life, let me be.

Don't push me to dream
about things bigger than I am.

I can only be Fifi.

I can't live outside of Yvonne's house.

My place is there, there, and not here.

You have to be patient
and calm down, Um Mahmoud.

Listen, I'll get you a hot drink
and a meal.

No.

I have no appetite.

How can I eat
while my son may be hungry?

No, you can't do this to yourself.

If not for your sake,
for Abou Mahmoud's sake.

Sadness will affect him negatively

and he shouldn't always see you crying
or not eating.

May God give us strength.

My sweetheart,
it's only a temporary problem.

I hope so.

Stand up, come on, crying won't help.

Stand up, get in bed and sleep.
Rest your body.

You'll catch a cold, come on,
stand up, get some rest.

Your case seems hard and desperate.

Stand up, calm down,
things will get better.

I feel in my heart
that she always has the key.

Stop it with your heart, stop it!

Search the library again,

even if you have to take out
the wooden floor.

Find the key, that's an order.

-I understand, but...
-There's no time, come on.

What if someone comes back suddenly?

No worries,
I'll be here no matter what, you just go.

Where could she hide it? Where?

How stupid you are, Mona!

No, she is the stupid one,
I thought she was smarter.

Mrs. Najah.

Mrs. Najah, Mrs. Najah.

By the way, I really like this place,
there are positive vibes here.

The person who chose it
surely has great taste.

I'd say it's Reem, right?

Right, you got it.

I used to sing at this place
a long time ago.

Hadi and I met here, and we fell in love.

Cheers to the place that brought
you together, cheers to your love.

-Cheers.
-Cheers.

-Cheers, my love.
-Cheers.

Hadi...

if someone says cheers,

and you don't look them in the eyes
while holding your glass up,

you'll get seven years
of bad luck in love.

Are you serious?

That's the first time I've heard that.

From now on, I'll keep on staring
into your eyes for the rest of my life.

-Cheers.
-Cheers, my love.

I've heard that before.

From a friend of mine, but...

I never believed it.

You didn't believe your friend
or the story?

-There's a difference.
-No.

Both.

-I'm going to the toilet.
-Okay, love.

-Sahar, would you like to come with me?
-No.

I'm kidding, let's go.

What's wrong, Hadi?
Something bothering you?

No, not at all, everything's okay.

What are you trying to do?

Trying to remind him
of the days you had together in Turkey?

What did I do?

I'm not doing anything.

Do you think I'm blind?

If you think you're going to stir up his
feelings like that then you're mistaken.

You're mistaken big time, Mrs. Sahar.

It just got frosty.
I'll take it from you, Mrs. Reem.

Do you think I'll stir up his feelings?

Keep on dreaming.
Maybe in your dreams.

By the way, the stupidest thing
you did is agreeing to marry Basil.

Now that you're his sister-in-law,
he'll never go near you.

I always taught you to think
further ahead than the end your nose.

But you don't want to learn.

Listen, don't you dare think
that you could ever be smarter than me.

If one day,
you feel like you're smarter than me,

then be sure that I wanted you
to feel that way, little one.

Please, don't come to see me anymore,
I don't want to see you.

Listen, Farah.

We all have a past.

I don't have a problem with your past.

I'm not better than you are anyways.

Yes, you're better...

and do you know why?

At least you have the chance to choose,
I don't have that chance.

Yes, you can choose.

Why don't you escape?

Why don't you leave?
What's keeping you here?

Do you think I haven't thought about it?

I thought about it and then I escaped,
but I had nowhere to go.

At least at Yvonne's,
I know who my enemy is,

whereas outside I'm a stranger.

But now you can choose.

Yes, come with me, run away with me.

Try a new life, start all over again.

With me, you'll become Farah.

-You'll stop being Fifi.
-But I'll never be Reem.

Even if you changed me
or changed my appearance.

I'll never be Reem, Omar,
and you won't be able to love me.

I'll still be Farah. Farah, not Reem.

Is everything okay?

My love.

So, tell me, how's your sister now?

-I hope she's better.
-She is.

Thank God because I got all worried
about her and you.

What was wrong with her?

-Kidney pain, I'll get changed.
-The eye of the camel.

I don't understand.

My love, there's an herb called
the eye of the camel.

Just boil it in some water
and then drink it.

-I'll tell her to try it.
-Listen, my love...

there's a special client
who asked for you in particular.

He said he wanted to see you like this,
all natural.

Without any make up.

I don't want you to upset him.

He's in there, go to him, come on.

Go to him.

So, pretty one,
tell me, how's your sister?

Ma'am, I'm nervous, can you hurry it up?

Even if doctors are saying
I'm not going to get pregnant,

I won't lose hope,
I'll always wait for you, my baby.

So, Mrs. Najah, what does it say?

Hours and hours

Hours and hours

And love life

And I missed...

-Stop screaming!
-Don't touch me, let me be!

-Get in there!
-I don't want to!

-Get in there!
-I don't want to!

Get in there!

If I hear your voice, I'll k*ll you both.

Don't go, don't leave, take me with you.

I told you,
I don't want to hear your voice.

-Take me with you, don't leave me!
-I don't want to hear your voice!

I brought you someone
to keep you company.

You seem like a rebel.

You didn't obey him.

Who are you?

I was the one who rebelled before you.
