[Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] No, sir. The hotel whose accounts we are managing, may God enable us to handle them. I must give you an orientation so you know where you are working. See you at lunch. Ester, Hisham. Yes, I learned from Madam Nadia at the reception that they need girls and I have a very smart neighbor with a commerce degree. And I know your relationship with the manager is very good. You are very strange. Did you manage to work with us? I mean, when you mediate for someone else, because her circumstances are very difficult, and I honestly want to help her. Okay, leave me for a bit to catch the manager when his mood is good. Thank you very much. You're welcome. I'll go see my work. Go ahead, excuse me. What's up, coach? Everything okay? Your friend is working with us with great enthusiasm. He even has another daughter he wants to bring to work with us. I know him, I know him very well. The important thing is that you will hire her for him, right? And he should know that you are affiliated or that you have a subordinate title. Shame on you, boss. I am your student. Goodbye. Orders, boss, orders, orders. [Music] [Music] Indeed, sir. Dr. Waseem participated in my daughter's thesis. What do you mean by "he helps her"? He participated in everything. He participated in her writings, he participated in the marital disputes she was filming and writing about. I saw him with my own eyes deleting and adding many things himself. So I wasn't surprised when I learned that he asked her for half of the thesis in exchange for a divorce. In fact, I was surprised at first, but then I told myself, he has the right. He participated in her master's thesis, so he has the right to participate in the successes resulting from this master's thesis. The defense wishes to question the witness. Is there anything, sir? I will ask. What can I say? Did she leave anything unsaid? And then, excuse me, the witness is the mother of the plaintiff. Thank God, no one is a stranger. Does the plaintiff's lawyer wish to question the witness? No, sir. The witness may be excused. Thank you. The second witness, Zahraban Ibrahim Zahraban. Zahraban, sir. Your name, age, and profession. Zahraban Ibrahim Zahraban. Age, sir, 55 Gregorian years. Profession: University Professor. Tell me, by God, I will tell the truth. By God, I will tell the truth. In your capacity as the supervisor of Dr. Maryam's doctoral thesis, can you assert that Dr. Waseem helped her prepare the thesis and is considered a partner in it? No, no, I cannot assert something so serious. But I can say what I saw and what I saw before the defense of the doctoral thesis. Dr. Waseem used to sit with me more than Dr. Maryam, and I was surprised that he memorized every word of the thesis and had some important observations that we discussed together. I believe he added the psychological aspect because he is a psychiatrist. And what's surprising is that his observations were present in every chapter, and I didn't ask Dr. Maryam about them. I asked her, and she was embarrassed to tell me that these modifications were from her husband. You mean she attributed these modifications to herself? Yes. And I said, "No, Zahraban, you must confront her with the truth so she confesses." Then I said, "What do I care? What do I care? It's their family matter." Why would I get involved? And how much do these modifications represent for the thesis? Initially, they were simple modifications with no meaning. They kept increasing and increasing until they were in almost every chapter, half the thesis. That's from the theoretical side, sir. But on the practical side, I'm well over half. What do you mean by the practical side? The scientific side, sir, which is the marital disputes I used to film in Dr. Maryam's presence, and the marital disputes I used to film in her absence, and the reports I used to write about them, and the psychological analyses I used to do about couples in their first year of marriage. Your Honor, honorable counselors, present. This is a list of the names of the couples whose disputes Dr. Waseem filmed and documented. And sir, they are all ready to testify with us. The case is adjourned until the seventh. While listening to the rest of the witnesses, all the witnesses testified in my favor, yet I cannot feel happy. Perhaps you are afraid of winning the case, divorcing Maryam, and losing her half of the master's thesis, which you won't do anything with. And perhaps I am afraid of reconciling and getting back together, and finding myself unable to forget what she did to me. And maybe she regrets her mistake. Won't she admit she was wrong first? Perhaps she knows very well in her heart that she is wrong, but she is waiting for you. Waiting for you to go to her and tell her, "I'm sorry, I want you, and I don't want my share of your thesis." No, I can't do that. But you yourself want to do that. Why are you saying that? Because I know you well. I know you better than you know yourself, and better than she understands you. Wait, where are you going? I'll leave you to think about what I said. I've been talking about myself all morning, and you're the one who's supposed to be here to vent and relax. No, I felt relaxed when you vented. So, the next visit? For the next visit, you'll be the one to tell me what you did with her. [Music] Sameh told us you were tired, but I'm sorry, are you here to comfort me or to fix your wrong against me? I will fix my wrong. You will leave Sherif. I will marry him officially and with your approval. I don't approve. I approve. No, sir, you approve, but you are afraid of problems with Walid. Walid may have many problems, but no man in the world would agree to his sister marrying like this. What if I get Walid's approval? How? It doesn't matter about the details. If Walid agrees, will you agree? I don't know. You will agree because you love me and know that Sherif loves me, and I have no one else [Music] but you. Come in. What do you think of the villa? It's very beautiful, of course. It's amazing, amazing. What do you mean, wait until you see the upstairs floor at least to give your full opinion. What do you want my opinion for? Didn't we agree you'll work with me? This, my dear, is the first thing I'll consult you about. Honestly, this villa is being offered to me, and I'm thinking of buying it, but it needs some renovation and finishing. Its price is very good, a steal. No, if it's a steal, buy it, of course. You're rushing again. Let's see the rest. Let's see the garden and the pool. It depends. So, are you buying it for investment? I'm buying it to get married in. Didn't you tell me we can't get married except unofficially? And I couldn't, and now I can because I discovered I can't live without you. And honestly, the problem was with me. I had a complex about marriage in general, but now I've raised the white flag and I'm raising my hand to you. I've surrendered. What do you mean? You still don't understand. Look, Sarah, make an appointment with my mother, and if she agrees to marry you, this whole villa will be [Music] mine. With my wife in the bedroom on our wedding night, I found my father knocking on our door with the list of furniture. I told him, "It's not the time." He said, "You won't touch my daughter before you complete the list." I grabbed him and he hit his daughter, and we left at dawn. Congratulations. Tell me, Mr. Ilham, who filmed this fight? This gentleman. Are you sure? Of course, I'm sure. He came to me twice afterwards and asked me questions and wrote down my answers. He told me he was doing research on marital disputes. And the lady, don't you think you've seen her before? No, honestly. Because at the time of my divorce, on our wedding night, I had a seizure. The whole world saw you. This is the fifth husband who proves and confirms that he has never seen or heard of Dr. Maryam before, which confirms that Dr. Waseem's client is primarily responsible for documenting and filming 70% or more of the thesis, which is the subject of the master's degree. Does the defense wish to question the witness? Thank you, witness. The prosecution has a comment on the witnesses' testimony today. Sir, just because I didn't see them or attend the marital disputes doesn't mean I didn't struggle analyzing, studying, and discussing them in my thesis. Yes, I also struggled with this study, and I was explaining to you the motivations of couples in disputes and divorce, and those who killed each other during their first year of marriage. Does that mean the thesis is yours? I didn't say it was mine. I said I participated in it. Yes, but I defended it and passed. If I had defended it instead of you, would I have passed? What are you saying? I'm saying, sir, that if I had defended this master's thesis instead of her, I would have passed. Yes, by God. The idea of adjourning the case until the defendant is questioned on the plaintiff's thesis, and the thesis discussion committee will be formed from the same professors who discussed it with the plaintiff and awarded her the master's degree. What are you saying? Do you want him to discuss my thesis, and why are you afraid? If he fails, he won't get it anyway. But if he passes, it won't be a problem until he returns half the thesis to you. [Music] Please, Maha. You signed the Sky contract. Really? Bravo. Really bravo. Bravo to whom? To you, of course. I didn't do anything this time. No, you will. You'll give me my commission, more than every time, of course. You participated in everything. And honestly, I'm greedy for a bigger partnership. [Music] Marry me. Oh, it seems I rushed a bit. Why do you want to marry me, Alaa? Do you want to prove to yourself that you can live without Maha? Maybe. [Music] And honestly, I feel lonely. And I feel that if we get married, we will strengthen each other against everything. Are you going to propose to her? No, of course not. We can't announce our marriage. No, the idea is that if she knows that you and I are married, she will understand that our interests are one, so people will be watching us, and she will understand what we are doing. Leave me to think for a bit. Take your time. Think at your leisure, but don't be late in responding to me. Okay. I've thought about it. Of course, there's no other option. Take your time. [Music] Surprise, Doctor. Not like this. I never imagined the judge would reach this solution. Now the court will officially contact the university for the discussion. Hmm. Okay, Doctor. See you tomorrow. Goodbye. I see you're happy. And you don't know what happened in court? What happened in court would make you sad, not happy. What made you say that? If your husband passes the master's thesis discussion, he will be your partner. Oh, really? Do you think it's that easy? Even if he studied for two more years, he would fail. Maybe God will strengthen him and help him. Are you with me, Mom, or with you both? And I want you to hurry and go back to him before we get to the thesis, or he'll be gone. Oh, he's the one who told you to tell me this, right? Yes, because he's afraid I'll fail and divorce him. No one says he'll fail except you. Everyone is with him. Open Facebook and look at the comments. And for your uncle, your husband has won this case even before you filed it. Of course, your boss showed you the video that was filmed for you and told you that I brought it to him. Yes, of course, I saw the video. What else? But I want to tell you that this video won't help you at all because you don't have permission from the prosecution to record it. And who told you that I filmed it? And besides, Walid Bey, when a problem occurs somewhere, don't they check surveillance cameras or say they didn't have permission to film? It's clear you're still too young for the game you're playing with us. Let's finish it to the end and see who's the adult and who's the child. And what? It's clear you don't know what I do and what my position is. Believe me, you won't be able to do anything to me. You know that your position is what has been scaring you. You've always hidden behind it. Now it's your weakness. Walid Bey, get to the point and tell me what you want exactly. I don't want to tell you anything and I don't want anything from anyone like you. All you can do now is stay away from me and my sister, or I'll send this video to social media. You figure it out. Don't think the video you have will scare me. You can drink the water from that video. Don't think it will protect you from me. Maybe it's protecting you from me. What's keeping me patient with you until now? I'm telling you, throw that video in the sea. My sister, whom you married behind our backs, you will divorce her soon, and against your will too. Okay, that's what I have to say. [Music] [Music] Sherif, don't be afraid. He won't be able to get near us again. That's enough, calm down, calm down. Issa, what's up, son? Where were you after breakfast? Sit down. How are you? Still tired at work with us? Honestly, I didn't know I'd be working two shifts for the same salary. I feel betrayed. I was just hoping you'd respond to me about my neighbor I told you about. She's your neighbor, but honestly, we've loved each other for a long time and have been in a relationship. I wish we could get married now and I could bring her to live with me here. Okay, boss. Just finish the accounts you've been holding for three days, and I have a meeting with the manager tomorrow. I might be able to sort out your friend's situation. I'm not delaying these accounts on purpose. The papers and invoices they brought don't make sense to a young person. They won't be able to find anything else. And what are you afraid of? I'll review them. Okay, finish your work and meet me at the office. You told me your friend has what? A commerce degree. Okay, boss. Can she work with us in [Music] [Music] accounting? You only know yourself. You only know yourself when it comes to kunafa. Mama, Yasser wants you to set an appointment for him to propose to me officially. Issa, Issa has enough on his plate. He just got off the phone with me, and I learned he has many problems in his new job. Oh, really? Because he has problems, you're going to marry someone else? On the contrary, Mom, I just don't want to add to his problems more than this. I don't want to pay the price for my love for him. If you truly love him, don't think about this Yasser. Mom, Yasser is the one who can't stop thinking about me. It's as if, it's as if God planted my love in his heart to save us from the poverty we are in. No, don't deceive me. As for me, I'm content with my share that God has divided for me. And I can no longer bear my share. I can no longer bear the humiliation that God created me in since I was born. My daughter, my daughter, my daughter. Think, after you marry him and get your fill of his money, you'll run off looking for Issa because he's the one you truly loved. I no longer have the right to love and be loved, Mom. I don't want anything from this world except to live with dignity. I don't know, I don't know what this man promised you. You took advantage of Issa's travel to play on your mind, right? Okay, I'll say that you're waiting for next Thursday. My daughter, my daughter, my daughter. They won't agree to marry you. You'll enter a war you can't handle. I don't care about my family. He's the one who will fight them if he wants me. What do you say? The workers have arrived to work as I agreed with you. So quickly? Yes, of course. Just so you know I love you. Look, my dear, there's something else. What is this? I hope you like it. It's beautiful. Yes, but we haven't gotten engaged yet for you to give me a dowry. Who told you this is a dowry? You can say it's a simple gift to show you how much I love you, but in my own way. If you have a problem, don't wear it now in front of your mother or anyone else, but keep it with you. Okay, generally, I told my mother that you want to marry me, and she will wait for you next Thursday. Okay, very good. And I'll start preparing from now. Don't be too happy. She's not happy, and she might make the marriage difficult. Don't worry, I'll know how to convince her in my own way. Who's the annoying one talking now? Aren't you going to answer? [Music] No. Please. [Music] Mr. Issa Aziz Al-Dahshan, lawyer for Naim Dunkel. Welcome. Of course, you are surprised that I came all the way here. What can we do? You traveled at a time when we needed you. I don't understand. Naim has a court date in two weeks, and the prosecution will summon you to testify in court. And of course, the prosecutor wants you to say everything you said in the police investigation and the prosecution reports. Of course not. Of course not. Naim will give you half a million pounds to change your testimony. Mr. Issa, if you speak, you will lose Naim. If you stay silent, you will gain money. Not to mention that you will have the opportunity to work with Naim again after he is acquitted. You think he will be acquitted? Of course, I wouldn't have come to you. Don't think that your testimony against Naim can imprison him. No, at most, it will delay his release. And he wants to get rid of this delay for half a million pounds. More than that would be too much, sir. And what do you want me to go to court and say? I changed my mind, or I didn't see anything? No, of course. I have prepared everything you will say, which will exonerate Naim and make it appear to the court that you did not change your mind. Wow, you have everything prepared. My job is done. Think at your leisure. I'm staying with you in the same hotel and booked you on the same flight back to Cairo tomorrow. Goodbye. [Music] Goodbye, sir. Hello. Don't you know that Issa, my son, is traveling? No, I know. Who is he coming to? To me, of course. No, excuse me. Good evening. Good evening. I am Yasser Al-Shagharbi. Ah, welcome. Please, have some tea. Thank you. Where is your mother? She should be here soon. I don't know what she's waiting for or what will happen. Well, she hasn't spoken to me for two days. May God reassure you. Mom. Welcome. Welcome. How are you? Yasser Bey. Mom. Of course, you know him. Welcome. Welcome. Sarah has spoken a lot about you, and honestly, I envy her for having such a great mother. Thank you, my son. May God keep you. And I was also very happy that you agreed to meet me today. Look, my business has taught me not to waste time. I am here today to ask for Sarah's hand. What, Mom? Why are you silent? You want to marry? You want my daughter? Yes, of course, with all honor. But we are poor people, as you know. On the contrary, Sarah is the most important and richest girl in the world to me. I wouldn't have come to ask alone. What? The messenger said that. Just tell me you agree, and next time Mom will be with me. What is the use of my agreement if your mother doesn't agree? If she didn't agree, she would have come with you. I told you. Tell me yes, and next time she will be with me. And I will also inform her that you want to see her. Especially since you want to marry Sarah, and you cannot ask for her alone. See what she tells you. Excuse me. Please, ma'am. Sarah, what are the causes of divorce in the first year of marriage as mentioned in the thesis? You've been grilling me since morning. Is this a thesis discussion or an interrogation? I have to make it difficult for you so the discussion is easy, God willing. You are sitting here, and Yasser Al-Shagharbi is sitting with Sarah and Fatima for half an hour. How did you know it was half an hour? I've been standing on the stairs for that long. You don't know why he came? And how would I know? He's wearing the suit he wore to the opera and carrying a box of chocolates this big. Honestly, my eyes are popping out. If he's wearing the suit he wore to the opera and carrying chocolates this big, he must be coming to propose. Don't tell me he's coming to propose to Sarah. To whom? To Maryam? But why so suddenly? No, he definitely didn't come suddenly. He must have made an appointment. You mean to say that Sarah and Fatima knew and were hiding it from me? Calm down for now. He'll be down in a bit, and we'll know everything. Oh, what? I'm not going up to the stairs to them, Mansour. Don't be rash. What are the causes of marital disputes that lead to divorce? Talk to me a lot. Don't call. Of course. Take care of yourself. [Music] Hurry up, Sarfil. You should have told us you were coming, we would have been there to greet you. Or Fatima did the job. No, don't worry, Fatima did more than the job. Did you see? Did you see how Waseem is talking? But honestly, he's a groom as the book says. What do I want? What do I want? It would be a disaster, a disaster, Waseem. What? Issa will call me now to check on me, like every day. I don't know what to tell him. Don't tell him anything, of course. I'm afraid of slipping up. For God's sake, control your tongue. This time, how can I control it? I haven't been able to find a handle for it for over 50 years. Then don't answer Issa until you sit with your mother-in-law and understand from her why Yasser came. To propose to Sarah. May he be damned. Has he gone mad? I don't know who's gone mad, him or her. What do you mean? You mean Sarah agreed to him? Look, Mansour, I don't understand her anymore. Ever since she left her job at the clinic, she's not herself. And to top it off, Issa's travel, and this dog named Sarfiel took advantage of the circumstances and fished in troubled waters. She thought Issa was traveling and no one would stand in his way. No, I will know how to teach him a lesson from the beginning. I will bring him back from the start. I will trap him and make him pay. [Music] [Music] Sherif, don't be afraid. He won't be able to get near us again. That's enough, calm down, calm down. Issa, what's up, son? Where were you after breakfast? Sit down. How are you? Still tired at work with us? Honestly, I didn't know I'd be working two shifts for the same salary. I feel betrayed. I was just hoping you'd respond to me about my neighbor I told you about. She's your neighbor, but honestly, we've loved each other for a long time and have been in a relationship. I wish we could get married now and I could bring her to live with me here. Okay, boss. Just finish the accounts you've been holding for three days, and I have a meeting with the manager tomorrow. I might be able to sort out your friend's situation. I'm not delaying these accounts on purpose. The papers and invoices they brought don't make sense to a young person. They won't be able to find anything else. And what are you afraid of? I'll review them. Okay, finish your work and meet me at the office. You told me your friend has what? A commerce degree. Okay, boss. Can she work with us in [Music] [Music] accounting? You only know yourself. You only know yourself when it comes to kunafa. Mama, Yasser wants you to set an appointment for him to propose to me officially. Issa, Issa has enough on his plate. He just got off the phone with me, and I learned he has many problems in his new job. Oh, really? Because he has problems, you're going to marry someone else? On the contrary, Mom, I just don't want to add to his problems more than this. I don't want to pay the price for my love for him. If you truly love him, don't think about this Yasser. Mom, Yasser is the one who can't stop thinking about me. It's as if, it's as if God planted my love in his heart to save us from the poverty we are in. No, don't deceive me.
