02x03 - Second Second Chance?

[bunniefuu]

I've missed you, Little Duck!

I've really missed you!

-Welcome back, Zuma!
-Thank you! Why didn't you say you

were coming? We could've, uh... made some
preparations?!

Uh... Just come check out the presents that
I got... Why are you sitting, everyone?

I brought you all some nice presents!
Come here, my favorite buddy!

I've missed you...

-Hi, Limo.
-And I missed you, Nadia.

-I swear to God...
-Hi, Nadia.

You have no idea how I miss you.

-Come on.
-What's all this?

I couldn't come empty handed.

Come on!

-Thank you, dear. Thank you very much.
-Sit somewhere else. Let your

brother sit next to me. I miss him.

Of course! Her little boy is here.

No place for Ola.

Hah?

Hah?! CR7, brand new!

I called in a favor for it.

No reaction whatsoever dude?

Thank you, but, uh...

I don't really like soccer.

Dear God!

You messed up the boy?!

Put it on.

Put it on man!

Should I?

Pop it on, sweetie,
pop it on. We're all gonna pop, so...

You don't like soccer?
With me, you'll be going, "Gooo Hazzooma!"

Pull harder, pull harder... Yeah,
pull harder. Take a breath, take a breath.

There you go, champ!

Let's go,
Leemo! You're going to be a soccer champ!

There you go! Wait, suck in your stomach.

-It fits. It fits perfectly, right?
-It's lovely! Just lovely! You like it?

-Yeah.
-It's lovely, sweetie!

As for our little princess...

"The" best German blender
in all the markets of Dubai!

Oh, my sweet, Hazzouma! I had asked him
to get her a blender, to include it in her

trousseau.

Congratulations!

Thanks, Uncle.

Don't mention it, sweetheart.

-Uh, now, for Lulu's present...
-Forget about Lulu's present! It's okay.

"Forget about Lulu"? No way.

Listen,
Mama, dear. That one is yours, okay?

-My precious son!
-No. That's my laundry.

-My precious son.
-Uh... But I got you a shawl!

-My precious son.
-It's in there with the tag still on it.

If you don't like it, you can sell it and
buy another. I know how

your mind works, mama!

Lulu's present... Ah! It's in the weird
looking bag. Sorry, Leemo, excuse me.

-Wow! Help me God!
-Lulu...

Aha!

I know you're into creams and
that stuff, eh? Check it out!

Ah, I am. I am into
creams, I guess, Wow! Crea...

Yeah.

-Samples!
-Mm.

-This must've cost you a fortune.
-No Lulu! Nothing is too

expensive for you. Don't say that.

Darling, thank you.

Okay, I'm going to bed.

No, no. There are new rules now.
If you're going to bed,

you kiss your uncle goodnight.
Where's my kiss?

I want my kiss... Douda,
you're uncle is here now!

-God bless you! Uncle's sweet little girl.
-Uh, Nadia, sweetie, I

just wanted to talk...

Good night, sweetheart.

-Didn't you tell her I really got booted?
-I did tell her.

Traffic Department issues?

What?

I have my contacts.

Yeah, no. No, thank you. No.

Okay, Leemo,
honey, you go, uh, to bed as well.

Say good night to your uncle.

You'll see him in the morning.

I have a question.
You'll sleep in my room with me, right?

It won't be a room anymore.

It's going to be a boys' clubhouse, buddy!
We're going to have so much fun, Leemo!

-Wow!
-Thank God. God

answered my prayers, I swear.

This house needed you.
Isn't that right, Lulu?

Your uncle's kiss.

-Good boy!
-Yeah! This house definitely needed him!

-This house seriously needed Hazem!
-I really missed you,

-guys. I swear to God.
-Oh, sweetie.

Now that we're done checking out these
lovely presents, let's have a talk.

How long is your vacation this time,
Hazem?

Uh, my vacation,
you could say it's open-ended.

Quality time, baby!

Open-ended, huh?!

Uh... that's right.

Hazem, did you get fired?

Uh, no. I was... dismissed.

My precious son!

-I appreciate it, Mom.
-Oh.

What's all this?!

Come on,
pull harder! Suck your stomach in.

Expensive, very expensive. Sorry.

Let's take this shot again.

Yes, sir. From the top.

-Do that line again, please.
-This is crazy.

You can say that again.

-I swear.
-Ready?

Action!

Good morning.

Can we talk before you go to school?

About the most short-lived
deal in history?

No, I want to talk about
the worst luck in history.

Nuni, please, believe me.

I had nothing to do with what happened
yesterday. It was out of my hands.

How about we restart our deal from today?

Right now.
Our deal starts right now! Okay?

Whatever.

"Whatever"...

Okay.

Wow!

I love your, uh... that.

Uh...

Oh, by the way!
Uh, uh, how is your tummy now?

Better?

-Mm.
-Okay.

I didn't buy you the, uh...

-Did Grandma buy you the, uh...
-What?

Pads?

Yeah. I have some.

Mm, okay.
So you don't need anything from me?

Okay.

So, tell me,
uh, how is school? Do you see Yassin?

I do.

But he doesn't see me.

Men are jerks, even at a tender age.

It's okay,
it's okay. Don't see him either.

By the way,
I want you to get used to being

let down at a young age.
Don't be like me.

So that when you grow up,

you'll have immunity.

You'll be strong.

Besides, there are a million things

that you need to do. You...

Hey, why don't you come
work with me at the

store? We could hang out there together.
That's part of the deal? Right?

What would I do at the store?

What would you do at the store...

Design! Don't you like interior design?

You can do that.
Come, I'm sick of the store's design.

So, you can actually come...
Let's set a date during this week, and,

and we can sit and figure out a new style,
and you can show me some mood boards.

Really?

Yes!

Okay.

Okay. Wow, don't get that excited!
You're overdoing it!

What about Uncle?

-What about him?
-He's staying here long?

I don't know. Why?

He keeps pinching my cheeks
and messing with my hair!

Please,
tell him,I don't like anyone to touch me.

I'm not a doll.

Okay. I'll try to explain it to him.
I don't know how, but I'll try to do it.

Now that Hazem is back,
I feel like everything has gone

twenty years back in time.

Except for my skin.

Salim, you're not dressed yet?

-You'll miss the bus!
-But Hazem's been in

the bathroom for ages.

Hey, Ha...

-Oh, Hazouma!
-Mm.

Good morning.

Good morning. Tell me that you didn't

use up all the hot water.

I didn't.

Mom! Hazem used all the hot water!

It'll warm up.

It will.

Good morning, Douda!

Uncle's princess!

-I'll tell him.
-Hazouma!

Yes, dear?

-Wait, sweetie!
-What, Mom?

-Come on, baby. Open your mouth.
-Uh, good morning, Mom. Is the bus...

God bless you, dear mother.

-Open it wide, sweetie.
-Okay.

-That's my baby!
-Hum, hum! Bless you.

Get nice and warm,
or you might catch a cold...

while I make you some breakfast.

I'll fry you some boiled
eggs with farm fresh ghee!

I haven't had fried boiled eggs in ages!

-Oh, sweetie!
-Do you know, Susu, how

much it costs in Dubai?

-Mm.
-Too much!

-God bless you, Mom.
-Mom! Mo...

-Thank you, dear.
-I'm on it.

Good morning, Mother.

-What time exactly does the bus arrive?
-Oh, the bus!

It already came,
but when no one came down, it left.

It left?

Okay, fine. You go get ready,

and I'll get changed real quick
and take you guys to school.

No biggie.
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.

So, how long is he staying?

Will you all stop asking me?
He's my brother. It's rude to ask him,

"When are you leaving?" I can't.

But you can tell Karim that he has issues
because of his parents' divorce!

Montasir... I've apologized to you already.

Please, drop it! I'm
sorry, man! I'm sorry!

And you had to mention my name!
Now the guy must totally hate me!

The guy can't even stand you since
you were kids, who are you kidding?

Tell him!

By the way...

The jasmine essence we have is enough
for only one batch of night cream.

Merde!

Okay, so what are we going to do now?

Nothing at all. This is it. It's all over.

I'll never be able to smell again!

-It's over. Over.
-Of course not! Don't say that,

Montasir! You will smell again!

I know you will smell again!

We are Second Chance, you guys!

That's the spirit!

That's my Monty!

I'll just give it a try.

-Yes! Yes!
-The guy must be fed up with me.

It's okay. Abu Reham... is kind and nice.
He'll... he'll help us out.

Hey, Abu Reham.

Hey, buddy. How is it going?

So, tell me. Do you have any updates

regarding the farm?

And did Mr. Karim tell you anything

regarding our shipment?

Good.

-Good. That's good.
-I told you! I told you! You

-see? Everything will be fine.
-Okay.

Well, listen,
uh... We're about to run out of jasmine oil.

So... if you could get us...

uh... just a little bit of
it before the shipment?

No, just, just a little bit.

Just to keep us going.

Okay. Okay. Thank you very much, buddy.

-Okay. And say hi to Um Reham.
-And to Reham!

And to Reham. Ola says hi to Reham.
She's so fond of her, you have no idea.

She's my little sweetheart!

Okay, buddy. Alright. Bye.

You see? You see?

I told you that you will smell again,

I just know it!

Have some faith and you will do it.

Believe me.

Let's hope so. Let's hope so.

Oh, it's Hadi.

Hello, Second Chance team.
Hello, Second Chance team.

Let's meet Wednesday at 3 o'clock
to close the deal and sign it.

Okay?

Mm.

I don't want to lose all fronts. I'm
going to call Hadi and tell him

-everything.
-You're not going to... Grab her phone!

I'm not your daughter!
You know that, right?

You're not calling Hadi! End of story!

Ola.

Hm?

I want you to answer me very clearly.

Mm.

Do you really think we're better
off without Hadi's funding?

Or you just don't like him to begin with?

Ha? Answer me.

I'll give you my answer on Wednesday,
at four forty five...

It's when...

I'm most clear. I promise.

Really? And meanwhile,

I'm supposed to keep pretending to
him that I don't know anything?

That I don't know that
he's wasting his time

with a business that's shutting down?

"Shutting down"! Excuse
me! Don't ever say that!

What do you call this
then? What do you call it?

"Potentially shutting down",
"Potentially"!

Yes, every word counts!
That's why I told you,

you can't talk to Hadi!
She'll ruin everything

if she talks to him!

Stop blabbering, Nesrine!

Yes, ma'am. Anything else?

No, thanks.

Give me the phone.

Welcome. We're open!
We're just taking the inventory...

Come in.

Come in.

Euh, non maman.
C'est plus compliqué que je pensais, hein?

There aren't... many potential buyers.

Je ne sais pas, mais, euh,

je pense pas que je vais

revenir tout de suite.

Non.

Pourquoi tu me fais sentir chaque
fois que je t'ai demandé ça?

J'ai pas fait exprès.
J'ai été choqué comme tout le monde.

Et là, j'essaie de faire mon mieux.

Mais non...
Mais non maman! Je fais de mon mieux!

Je sais que t'as de mauvais
souvenirs dans ce pays,

mais bon.
Il y'a des gens qui vivent de cette terre.

Je peux pas les virer comme ça du jour au
lendemain parce que tu as besoin de moi.

C'est pas possible!

Get up. Let's go.

You can stay, you can stay, you can stay!

Euh, sinon,
sinon, sinon, quoi de neuf maman?

Claire?

Non, pourquoi?

Ouais, elle m'a appelé, mais bon, euh...

j'ai pas eu le temps de... de lui répondre.

Okay.

We're done here.

It's just that it was our tradition to
have tea at sunset with your father.

Your father used to like that.

That's it Leemo!

You lose, champ!

I thought the family expert in gaming
would surely kick my butt.

It turns out,
playing cards is not your game.

By the way,
next time, I'm going to beat you.

Well,
keep practicing, and come back to me.

Pull the matress.

Okay.

You know? My room has become way

cooler since you came.

Well, I was worried that I might have...

...messed up your space and disturbed you.

No, no. On the contrary.

At least, I don't feel bored anymore.

Do, you, eh...

... feel bored often?

Kinda.

What about your friends?

You don't have a crew at school?

No.

I don't.

Does someone bully you or something?

You can tell me.

I'll go and smash them to pieces.

No.

But sometimes...

Sometimes, they say I'm too sensitive.

Oh no! Too sensitive?

No, Salim.

Don't let them call you that.

If it becomes your reputation
we can't change it.

What am I supposed to do?

Toughen up.

So that people won't push you around,

or mess with you.

Your dad must have told you this dude.

I never talk to Dad about this stuff.

Why not, buddy?

I don't like to bother him.

Because he just had two heart surgeries,
you know.

I don't want to worry him.

Besides, he's out of the country.

Uh, right!

Your mom told me that he went abroad
to learn... to hypnotize people!

-Right?
-Yeah.

Hey, boys!
I heard what sounded like... a party!

Uh...

Why are you sleeping here,
and he's on... You... Did

you offer him your bed?

Mm.

You're sweet.

You're such a sweet boy.
You're such a sweet boy.

Come on, Hazem.
I need to have a word with you, please.

Go ahead, Lulu.

I don't keep any secrets from Salim.

No, sorry. Not this time.

-Alright.
-Okay.

Your mom's always been like that.
A killjoy,

and she rains on everyone's parade.

Sweetie, sleep in your bed, if you want.
Your uncle can sleep on the floor. He's

-used to it.
-Yeah, sure.

-Yeah, that's fine. Yeah, yeah.
-Okay.

Good night.

Good night, buddy.

Good night.

It's good. It's good.

Hm.

What are your plans, Hazem?

For what?

Seriously?!

Y... you're asking about my plans,
I mean like, what plans?

Oh. Well, see, Zuma,
honey, the thing is, I need to sleep,

and I'm extremely exhausted.

-So, please, let's be frank, mm? Okay.
-Yeah, okay. Okay.

You know that I provide
for this whole household.

Yes, of course.

Oh, great.

And I support Mom, as well.

Yeah, yeah, of course. I understand.

Of course.

And now, I'll supp... uh, help you as well.

I'd gladly do that.
You're my dear brother,

don't get me wrong.

It's just that...
I just hope that you have a,

-some kind of plan.
-I'll work of course!

Aha.

Uh, uh, I'll just take a breather,
and think for a while, and...

I'll figure it out.

So, you still haven't figured
out what you're going to do.

Mm, mm, mm.

Hazem, you have any idea how many
times I've heard that before?

You had an IT job, and got fired.

I didn't get fired.
The company went bankrupt.

The company went bankrupt. Fine.

Then, you went to Dubai to open an
Egyptian cheese business over there.

-And you said...
-And... is it my fault? Their health

ministry doesn't know that the larvae in
the cheese can enhance its flavor!

No, of course it's not your fault!

It's not your fault. Okay.

We found you a decent job...

as cabin crew.

A job that's stable, and decent.

We called in a favor and

were all finally relieved.

So, whose fault was it this time?
Whose fault was it, Hazem?

It's nobody's fault. It's a global crisis,
Ola. What can I do about it?

Okay, alright.

It's not your fault.

Okay.

What are you planning,
honey? I mean, what are your dreams?

What are my dreams. Okay.

Uh...

I could...

Work with you, maybe?

-With me?
-Mm.

With me?
I, myself, might be losing my job,

but that's another story.

But even if, I'll hire you as what?

You'll do what?

Look, Ola, if, uh...

If I'm...
I'm a burden, if that's what you mean...

I'm, uh,
willing to, uh, leave by tomorrow morning.

I mean, no problem.

Mm... and where will you go?

I'll manage.

I'll go, uh...

stay with one of my friends.

-Your friends?
-Mm.

Since when do you have friends?

Zuma, honey,
I really don't mean to upset you, but,

you think we're still little kids.
Things are different now. I can't have

anymore responsibilities
than what I already have.

You're the one who got divorced.

I'm sorry.

I really am sorry...

Lulu, Lulu, sweetheart. You have changed.

You're worried all the time.

You've become so irritable, and...

And what else? What else?

And mannish.

Hm.

Yeah, you're less gentle and tough!

And by the way...

it's also affecting the kids, too.

I'm concerned.

Mm.

Be careful. Work is not everything.

Right.

You're right.

Don't worry.

Don't worry. You see how worried you are?

I'm... willing to help you with the kids.

Mom and I, we're willing to help.

Wow.

It's okay, stop worrying!

That's an annoying gesture indeed.

Nadia was right.

Well, Hazem,
honey, I don't even know what to say.

Don't say anything. You're my sister.

Forever!

I'm hungry.
All this arguing made me hungry.

I'll get a snack...

Uh... What is this?

Did you guys eat from the
pizza that I ordered?

Ah, no problem.
There are some leftovers to eat.

Need anything?

Good night.

Oh, my! Oh, my!

Abu Reham!

I knew you were a good man,
and that would stick to your promise.

You know? I...

By the way,
all of Zefta knows about your maman.

Uh... I mean your mom and dad.

Basically,
you guys are the talk of the town.

-Tais-toi. Tais-toi, Montasir.
-Hey you, talk to me.

What do you want from us, dammit?

Why did you come to the store you
pretty much ruined? To make us beg?

Heck no!
No one can make us beg, by the way!

What do you want from us?

Just leave already! What, what...

why the hell do I see him everywhere I go?
!

-Easy, easy.
-No, leave me, Montasir! I'm

not afraid! I've had enough fear!

Goddammit!
Look, look how he's showing up here...

and he's acting all arrogant!

And all he cares about is himself!
Just look at him!

What are you doing, Abu Reham?!

If only you'd let anyone else speak,
you'd understand.

He's unloading supplies
enough for two months.

To keep you afloat.

Are we just going to stand here, or what?

Let's have a drink inside.

You're welcome!

Okay. Thank you. Thank you!

Bienvenue!

Second Chance!

Honestly, it's very impressive.

Thank you, merci.

But why all this organic stuff in,
uh... in plastic packaging? I mean...

By the way, I told her from day one that

the emballage is very cheap.

Well, I'm so sorry,

but we have neither the time nor the money
to change the packaging right now.

Maybe some other time.

Any other observations?

Well, I actually think that, uh...

you're using just a small portion
of your business potential.

I'd say you guys need to dream bigger.

It's good that you guys are
creating new formulas,

but you need to develop this
concept to its maximum.

Ah...

Excuse me, Karim,
I never asked you, what do you do exactly?

My mother and I own a boutique
hotel in France,

and we own a farm,
so, we use everything that comes

from the farm, in the hotel.

Like, uh, for example,
we use the fruits to make jam,

and the herbs to make healthy drinks...
Things like that.

Ummm, okay.

-Mm.
-I mean, wow. All of that?

That's not all of it.
We also have a spa where we sell

our products,
uh... and we... we supply nearby businesses...

And so on.

You see, that's what I studied.

You studied that?

Yeah.

Agrofood and environmental engineering.

Huh? Uh...

Wow! He really studied a a lot!
A jack of all trades!

Actually, all of that is one subject.

Mm. Okay.
I'm sorry, we didn't learn that term here.

So, if this business was yours,
what would you do with it?

You mean after I change the packaging?

Uh...

I would surely open a spa, a restaurant...

I mean,
I would surely make use of the farm

in order to have a holistic approach.

Hey, hey, why are you looking at me?

He can do that.
He owns a farm. We don't own a farm.

We're literally begging him for supplies.

What can we make use of?! Tell me!

Besides, I'm a pharmacist. I'm
not an "a-grow-culture experience".

And Environmental Engineering.

Yeah, that, that big word.
I can only work in what I know.

But you're an entrepreneur.

So, you must act like an entrepreneur.

You can't beg all the time.

You can't stay forever at the
mercy of people like me.

I want to punch him!

Isn't it better to do all this with your
dad's farm instead of doing this abroad?

When I talked to him
about this a long time

ago, he said to me... "Buzz off, kid".

Mm. He was smart.

God rest his soul!

Amen.

So why don't you be our partner?

What?!

Did I walk into the wrong store?
What's going on?

No, no. Come in. Come in, it just seems
that Montasir has gone crazy or something.

No, hang on a second. Who'll be our
partner? Because I'm not following here.

No one will,
of course. That's just Karim Caramel, uh...

I mean Karim Abed, Hajj Abed's son,
uh... the farm owner, God rest his soul.

Mm.

And this is Nesrine, our partner.
She's both mine and Montasir's partner.

Enchanté.

Hi.

Karim was kind enough to
bring us a shipment, and,

and he said he'll provide us with
supplies till he sells the farm,

but Montasir got too excited and asked him
to...

He's gone totally insane.

It's you who's insane if you
can't see him as our way out.

And you, Karim,
you're going to regret selling that farm.

And I've known you since we were kids,

and I know that you are a a
decent man with a kind heart.

You wouldn't want for me, and Reham,
and Abu Reham, and half of the village,

to end up homeless because
of your decisions!

But how, Montasir?

You know that I live in France.

I own a business over there.

Why would I open the same business here?

Exactly! Right?

Besides, do you think that me and, uh...

Ola. I'm Ola.

Ola, Ola, yes. I mean, uh, that we can be...

-business partners?
-Imagine!

We're like electricity!

There's instant repulsion between us!

Reaction!

You don't even have to live here.

Consider it a franchise.

It's your chance to build what
your father couldn't envision.

We'll run the farm.

And you won't find anyone better than
us to take care of your money while

you're away.

Don't answer me now.

Just think about it.

Don't think about it!

Don't think!

He's crazy!

-Let's go, Abu Reham.
-Off you go!

Go, go. I, uh...

Uh, we're really very,
very, very grateful for the shipment,

and, and, uh... for your promise.

I hope you'll sell the farm...
as soon as possible,

and you'll be out of here, safely.

Uh, and hopefully, I mean, we'll,
we'll... we won't be noting any of the, the,

the observations that you made.
Goodbye. Bye, Abu Reham!

-Say hi to my dear precious Reham! Bye!
-Think about it, Karim! Okay?

Are you crazy, Montasir?

What?

You... Who told you I want to
be partners with that man?!

Who even gave you the right to talk about
such an important matter while I

wasn't here?

I didn't say anything! It was him!

Are you worried that I might tell Hadi
you're looking for another partner?

I don't get it. And honestly,
I don't like what's going on.

You're right! And I'm upset, too!

Oh, really?

So, all that you care about
is Hadi's feelings?

And you!

You're going to ruin everything
with your stubbornness.

And I'll have you know that Second
Chance isn't just yours alone.

It belongs to all of us.

And if this business fails,
I'm the one who will suffer the most!

Because you have Hadi,
and you have your kids. But I have no one!

I have no one!

I only have my nose.

And that, too, is ruined.

So if Karim is the only hope,
let me hold onto it!

Goddammit!

The store is getting toxic.

Lulu! Mommy's sweet little girl!

Are you talking to me?

Of course!

-Hmm.
-Who else do I have?

Really?

-Hey! How are you, Mommy?
-How are you, sweetie?

Aw! I miss you! You still remember me?

-Of course! My darling!
-Oh, dear.

-Hungry?
-No, thank you. No.

I'm tired. So, I'll just go to bed.

Hold on my dear.

I need to ask you a favor.

Well?

Well...

I need to borrow twenty
thousand pounds from you.

Twenty thousand pounds?

Why do you need twenty thousand pounds,
Mom?

I joined a lending circle.

For twenty thousand pounds!?

A mega lending circle. It's a bit large.

Oh!

Well,
I have seven thousand! Would that work?

Seven?

Fine, I suppose.

I thought so, too.

Hey, tell the "lending circle" to lower
the toilet seat when they're done,

'cause it pisses me off.

May you never have to need anyone.

You couldn't say that prayer yesterday?
Mm?

It's too late now. Too late.

PlayStation on a week night?

It's, uh...

It's what?

Where did you get it?

It's your uncle's, right?

Yes.

Okay, Salim. Uh, turn off that
PlayStation, and go to bed, please.

Just a second.

No, do it right now, Salim!

-Okay.
-That's it. Thank you.

Killjoy!

What?

With joy! I'll do it with joy!

I see.

Mm.

Where's your sister? In her room?

Yeah.

Good night, Salim.

Good night.

Nadia.

Oh là là! Nadia!

Well, well... This is so nice! Is it new?

No, it's not even mine. It's Zeina's, um...

-Mm...
-I was just trying it on.

Well, it suits you anyway...

A different Nadia. "Nadia 2.0".

It's cute.

I see you're feeling better.

-A little.
-Anything new?

Nope.

Hm.

Just focusing on myself like you told me.

Well done! Well done, well done.

Oh, by the way.
I made several mood boards.

Mood boards? Mood boards...

-Oh! Mood boards for... for what?
-For the store.

The store? Oh... Show me.

-Assuming we stay open.
-What?

Nothing! Nothing! Now, show me.

Here.

Wow! Wo...

That's a lovely color palette.
That's what I had ... Uh,

what's this window?

I'm free on Wednesday after school.

Really?

-Mm.
-Hm.

I'll be there with Zeina.

-Wednesday, you and Zeina. Okay.
-Mm.

How much are you paying?

Paying?

-Paying you?
-No pay means no work.

Why has everyone become so materialistic?
What the hell?

Your phone.

It's Daddy.

Hey, Daddy.

Hi, sweetie.

Look. I got stuck on a few

things in my homework.

-I'm going to show you now.
-Let's see it.

Can you see it?

Yes, I see it, sweetie.

See, I don't understand the illumination
in this equation.

-Hey, Ola.
-Hisham.

Are you okay? Are the kids okay?

Uh, yeah, yeah.

It's 2:00AM over there.

Yeah, no. The kids are fine, don't worry.

They're asleep.

Are you still out?

Uh... Yeah, I'm out.

I can't sleep.

Uh...

I'm stuck on some homework of mine,
too, so... I thought I'd call you.

Didn't you learn how to
put people to sleep?

Can you put me to sleep for... a year?

What's wrong? Tell me.

The voice is gone, Hisham.

What voice, Ola?

The voice, the voice.

The voice that I had found
after many years.

I can't hear it now.

I don't want to get lost again,
Hisham. You know what I mean?

I, I don't know how to explain it.

There's no such thing, Ola.

We lose ourselves and find ourselves,
like a set of keys.

And where do I get the energy for that?

With my work, and the kids, and Mom...

and Hazem, too now!

Hazem alone is a handful!

On top of everything else!

Exactly!

The best thing is that I don't
need to explain to you.

You know me so well.

I told you, Ola.

You're no good to anyone if you burn out.

I know you're trying to
make up for lost time.

But still... take it easy.

I wasn't kidding when I told
you I was worried about you.

Do you know that I envy you?

I really envy you, Hisham.

You know how to make decisions,
go for them, and never look back.

I really want to make a decision,
but I'm scared of making mistakes.

So what if you make mistakes?
You're a human after all.

Do you think I never make mistakes?

I just don't regret the things that I do.

I do what feels right in the moment.
No matter what.

But isn't that selfishness?

Well, if it doesn't serve others,
they'll consider it selfish,

and that's valid, of course.

But even if it's selfish,
sometimes, selfishness can be good.

Hmm.

I'm starting to hear
something from a distance...

Hey, sexy! Is it me you're looking for?

Hot stuff!

That's surely not the voice
that you're hearing, is it?

Of course not. That's not the voice.

It's not. But, uh...

I thought I heard something

telling me to go to bed.

It's getting very late!

That's a good idea.

Let me know when you get home.

Thank you, Hisham...

for your advice.

-Bye.
-Bye.

So, the sunscreen will be available soon?

Uh, in a week, ten days max.

And maybe even sooner.
Whenever you pass by, come and check.

-Okay, thank you.
-Okay?

Bye.

-Bye.
-Hi.

Hi.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning.

It's Wednesday, you know.

We have a meeting with MENA Angels.

I know that today is Wednesday.
But, uh... I'm not going.

Excuse me?

What do you mean you're not going?

I said I'm not going.
I have nothing new to say,

and I don't think Hadi has anything new
to say either. So, why would I go?

Seriously, this is not a game.

You're putting us in an
embarrassing situation!

I don't mean to embarrass you.

If you want to go, you can go.

Mm.

Fine, okay.

Call him and cancel.

Make up an excuse.

Yeah.

Go ahead.

I'm not calling him. I'm not lying again.

You must call him.

It's okay, it's okay. I'll call him.

Hadi, how are you?

How is it going?

Hadi, if you don't mind,
can we, uh, reschedule today's meeting?

No, it's just that Ola isn't feeling well,
and... I can't smell anything...

You know,
it's not, ehm it's not a great time.

Nesrine?

-I'm not here, I'm not here!
-No, I don't know where Nesrine is.

You can call her.

Okay. Anyway,
I'll call you to set another appointment,

mm...

Alright. Alright. Salut.

Bye. Bye.

Why did you tell him to call me?
Why? Why are you guys doing this to me?

What am I supposed to tell him now?

Hey, Haddousha, my love.

I'm fine. I'll just finish something

and call you right back.

Yeah, okay, bye.

I really can't believe it.

Grandma!
I'm going to see Mom at the store!

Hey, hold on a second.

You're going where?

I just said I'm going to
see Mom at the store.

I'm working there.

You're working. That's good!
But what's with, uh... this outfit?

What's wrong with it?

Well, Naddouda, I mean, uh...

this look is for...

it's for running around.

Running around?!

Uncle. You have no right to tell
me what I can and cannot wear.

You're just a guest.

Mm.

No.

Your mother said I'm in charge of taking
care of you whenever she's out.

Besides, how dare you
talk to me like that?

What's going on?

What's wrong?

Oh, it's nothing, Susu.

Let's go upstairs and fix this issue.
We don't want to upset Zuma.

Thank you, Zeina.

Learn from your friend.

Come on.

Come on!

Oh, dear God.

I couldn't handle her alone.

I don't see anything
wrong with her outfit.

Leemo, buddy.

If you see a girl on the street wearing
that wouldn't you stare at her?

No.

Why not?

I don't know.

I mean, there's no reason.

Why would I even look at her?

Her outfit is none of my business.

Oh, baby.

So...

What do you mean it's none of your
business? You're her brother!

No, it's our job to put the limits.

Even if she's older.

Take me, for example.

I used to keep your mom in check for many
years back in the day. Right, Mom?

That's right, baby.

But, I mean...

Ola and Hisham...

-are not like me and your father.
-No!

Being a man is timeless.

Your sister's reputation is yours.

You need to be more involved.

You know, watch her from a distance...

see who she talks to,
and who she hangs out with...

But without smothering her, hmm?

If you notice anything not right,
come tell me, and I'll handle it. Deal?

Okay.

Did you hear that?
Mom has told him to control me!

What the hell?
! This house has become a prison!

Just let it pass.

Don't fight a losing battle!
You can't beat them both anyway!

When Dad comes back,
I'll go live with him.

And what? Break Ola's heart?

Well, she left them in charge.

Then it's every woman for herself!

Listen, just take these...

wear them on top of what
you're wearing now,

and when we come back, take them off.

It's simple.

Just go with the flow, Nunu.

There's no need for clashes.

No. This is hypocrisy.

My parents aren't dead
for Hazem to raise me!

I'm sorry.

-That was insensitive of me.
-No, it's okay.

You've been through a lot lately.

But this isn't hypocrisy.

It's diplomacy.

Put that on and let's go.

Hadi is calling.

What do I tell him?

Do I tell him we're at the
store or somewhere else?

Ola, I'm talking to you!

Can you hear me?!

Yes, I can.

If you can hear me,
why aren't you answering?

Don't you want to drive him away?

Hmm. So, come on,
answer me. What should I tell him?

Why are you being so selfish?
You want to make all the

decisions on your own,
you only want to see things your way,

and then, you end up going silent when

the sh*t hits the fan, Ola!

I don't know what to do,
and I'm freaking out!

Can you please answer me if you hear me?

-Ola!
-Stop it now!

Stop it!

Enough pressure!

What?!

Now I'm the reason for all your troubles?
! Suddenly, I'm the problem?

Did I tell you to fall in love
with our business partner?

Did I force you to work with me,
instead of moving to France

to work as a nose?

As if France was open to you!

Pressure at home,
and more pressure at work!

I'm not doing anything that
I don't like ever again!

I'm not going back there again!
You two know what Second

Chance means to me!

This business put me back on my feet,
and made me find you!

Look at us today! Look!

You see what's become of us!
? We can't even stand each other!

Everything we did for this
business is ruined!

I'd rather shut it all down,

than give it to someone who doesn't
understand its history,

or its story, or its value!

And I'm not going to go beg anyone!
Not Karim, or anybody else!

I won't beg again!

That's it, no more Second Chance!
I'm closing it down!

It's over! No more Second Chance!

It's better this way!

No more Second Chance!

There!

There!

There! No more Second Chance!

No more Second Chance!

No more Second Chance! There! There!

There!

No more Second Chance!

No more Second Chance!

You silly idiots!

You silly idiots!

Fine!

There!

There!

There!

There!

There! There!

There! There!

There!

Here! Smash it! Come on!

Come on!

So, that's it?

C'est fini?

We'll have to double the rate.
There's so much work.

Nadia?

What are you doing here?

It's Wednesday, remember?

Oh. Uh...

Sorry, sweetie, uh...

I don't know how to put it,
but now is not a very good

time for decorating, as you can see.

What's this time good for then?

It's time for our deal.

Didn't you want me to spend more time
with you? Fine. Second Chance is over.

I'll be with you all the time.
All the time.

Wow.

You took my advice and changed everything?

Who's the hottie?

No clue.

Yes? What do you want?

Well, I just came to, uh...

to give Montasir my answer,
um... regarding his offer.

What?

You told me to think about it.

Yes.

Oh.

No, he told you that, not me, I mean, uh...

But we have a number.
You could've just called us.

Why bother and come all the way here?

Anyway, I, uh... can't take your offer.

Obviously! I mean...

There was no doubt about it.

Anyway, uh...

it doesn't even matter.

As you can see here,
we're already shutting down.

Seriously?

How come?

-That would be a shame!
-Hi.

-I'm, uh... I'm Zeina.
-Hi.

And this is Nadia...

Ola's daughter.

And... future ex Second
Chance interior designer.

-Hi.
-Enchanté... euh...

Enchanté Zeina, Nadia.

Oh sh*t! That's not good!

What's wrong?

You never called back.

I got worried.

I'm sorry,
Hadi. We've been under a lot of pressure,

all day today.

Besides, I'm not a little child for

you to worry about me.

Do you always have to be cynical?

What happened?

Why did you cancel?

I'll explain everything if
you promise to be calm.

Nesrine, answer me!

Well, Ha... Hadi,
I'll answer you. It's okay.

Nesrine had nothing to do with it.

-Mm?
-I'm the one...

I'm the one who cancelled the meeting.

Okay.

Because, honestly...

I don't believe that you'll...

look after Second Chance.

What?

Remember, remember our first meeting,

when you asked me, "Where do you
see yourself five years from now"?

Mm.

I'm still not sure.

But I do know for sure what I...
don't want to be five years from now.

And I don't want to be that business
woman who makes loads of money...

off the insecurities of all of
those who lack self-confidence.

And you're a man...

who's into business.
You want to invest your

money to make profits.
And that's your right, and I respect that.

-Mm.
-But that's not us.

That's... that's not Second Chance.

I... I don't want to make money that way.

The voice inside of me...

is saying that to me.

I can hear it again.

I can hear it... again.

-Oh, really?
-Mm.

And when did you realize all that? Eh?

Or have you all been planning
this for a while?

I did not plan anything.

Mm.

I told them we need to tell you.

Traîtresse!

Hadi, she really did want us to tell you,
and I should've told you way sooner...

uh, that the deal is off.

Even if...

we had a supplier,
and we were going to stay in business,

and not shut down.

What?

It doesn't matter!
It doesn't. What matters is...

...we can't have a deal.

Well, of course we can't.

And the partnership is off.

Yeah, yeah. But this has nothing
to do with the two of you, I mean...

-Huh?
-Mm.

And who's the gentleman?

Ah.

-Oh... No, no, he's...
-Karim Abed, their new

partner at Second Chance.

New partner?

-Right.
-Nice to meet you.

What?

-That's right.
-Just like that, huh?

That's right!

You guys don't waste time?!

By the way, I know how to separate...

between work and personal life.

But this is too much, Nesrine.

How can I trust you after this?

Uh...

Okay, fine.

No, Hadi. Uh...

Good luck, Karim.
Good luck, Second Chance.

Don't...

Goodbye!

B... Wait, Hadi! Hadi!

Just... Let's just... Calm down so we can...
Nesrine had nothing to do with it!

Hadi!

-He will come around!
-Are you happy now?

No, he's right by the way.

This wouldn't have happened if you'd
listened to me about telling him.

But you thought you had
it all figured out.

And in the end,
you made me out to be a liar.

Congratulations on your new partner,
because I'm out.

Nesrine!

-Nadia let me through.
-Nesrine!

Why out? I don't get it. Why is she out?

Not a word from you!

Nesrine!

Just...

Just wait for me! Just wait... -What is it?
-Let's just talk about it!

Huh?

I could smell it.

What?

Her cheap perfume.

I could smell it.

Oh.

I smell again, Ola!

I smell again!

Okay.

I smell again!

Yahoo!

-Make it smaller. Smaller.
-Even smaller than that?

Yes, way smaller than this!

How about this?

She's not answering. She's not answering!

Are you, uh, going to keep staring at me?

Didn't you need a partner?

No, no we didn't. Actually, we just
wanted a supplier who would give us the

-same prices we used to get before.
-Well, you know, like "flour into oil".

Excuse me?

-Flour into oil.
-Well, first of all, it's

-"our oil into our flour".
-Right, right.

-Mm.
-Right.

J'adore cette expression.
Our oil into our flour.

That's great.
The supplies will be all yours,

and you won't be at the mercy of others.

Perfect.

I'm sorry,
but I just don't quite understand

what you stand to gain from it.

-What I gain?
-Yeah.

Uh, I get to do the things that
my father didn't believe in.

Oh! Now I see!

He wants a restaurant and a hotel,

and all the stuff he told
us about at our expense!

Heck no! I can't manage a
hotel or whatever else...

I'm contributing with the farm. So,
you'll contribute with the management!

I don't live here.
And I never will, you know?

Well, I hope you won't!
But I don't know how to manage a hotel!

Say something, uh...

And I don't know how to manage
a cosmetics business!

-Then, don't!
-You'll teach me, and I'll teach you!

You guys will have to come to France with
me to see how the operation works there.

-So that you can learn.
-No, no, no. Don't tell him that. No!

Montasir! Montasir, honey,
stay with me. I'll take you to Paris.

I'll take you. It doesn't have to be him!

-No, he has to come.
-Swear on your father's grave...

that you'll take me to France?

Yes, I have to.

You'll get me the visa?

Yes, of course.

Schengel?

Schengen.

It's okay. Whichever! I'm coming
with you! I'm begging you, say yes.

Okay. How dare you...

Yeah. Also, I won't
change the company's name.

How naïve!

And I'll pay for my share.

-I will!
-How thoughtful!

So, my stake in Second Chance
will be equal to yours.

So, together we can both be CEOs...

Aha.

...And make the decisions together...

You and I making decisions together?
I mean, we argue about "good morning"!

Yes... Yeah!

Besides, are we going to have to wait

for you to grace Egypt...

with your presence whenever
we want to make a decision?!

Ola, haven't you heard yet of
this invention called "the internet"?

So, I don't actually need
to live with Your Highness...

for us to be partners. Got it?

You're very funny,
seriously. You're really hilarious!

So, what do you say?

-No way. Never. It's not going to work!
-Huh?

So, no deal then?

Okay, no problem.
If you don't want that, it's okay.

I was just doing it because
I saw that you, uh...

I saw what happened with that guy,
and how you drove him away...

and I felt sorry for you.

-You're too kind, really...
-Okay? But if you guys

don't want that, no problem.

-Right.
-I mean, I can proceed with

selling the farm, and no harm, no...

-Foul! No harm, no foul!
-Foul! Yes, no harm, no foul!

-No foul.
-No harm, no foul.

-What else can we do?
-We're going to do what's best.

Yes, what can we do?

-What are we going to do?
-We're going to... What? You said yes?

-I said yes?!
-I heard her. Did you hear her?

Okay! Great! It's a deal.

It's done, then.

You sold me for a Schengen, Monty?

Whether I say yes or no,
it doesn't matter.

Cause we have a third
partner called Nesrine,

and just because she's angry now,
that doesn't mean...

that she doesn't also have the right...
to be here and part of this decision!

Nesrine?!

She agreed to partner with me!
She'll have no problem with this,

uh... life saver?

You just leave Reda to me. Okay?

Who's this Reda?

It's a very long story, Karim.
I'll tell you all about it later.

Here you go.

Take it!

-What? What?
-Take it downstairs.

My girls are vegetarian!

Well, uh... here,

-Here.
-Let's go.

And the best part is that we're going
to be able to start everything over.

Your logo for example...
Honestly, I don't like it.

You're already criticizing?

-You're Nadia, right?
-Yes.

-The interior designer?
-Yes.

Yes.

You're hired.

Congrats.

Great! Shall we say "felicitations"?

Congrats?

-Congrats!
-Congrats!

Congrats.

Congrats.

Congrats.
