No wonder, you're slandering me

Have a seat, have a seat.

So why did you take her by force, Adham?

Why didn't you ask to see her?

Visitation law allows you to do that.

Visitation law allows you to do that.

Honestly, Sir, after I got out of prison

and under the visitation law you're talking about

I used to go but she wouldn't come.

I used to go but she wouldn't come.

She would come once and wouldn't come many other times.

She'd say she's tired or the girl doesn't want to see me.

She'd say she's tired or the girl doesn't want to see me.

Sir, when I used to see my daughter, Nour

she would say things to me that no father can bear to hear

from his own daughter.

from his own daughter.

She would tell me I don't love you

I don't want to sit with you you don't love my mom.

Sir, please, believe me.

Sir, please, believe me.

The girl's mother and her family are ruining my reputation

and they succeeded in making her hate me.

and they succeeded in making her hate me.

That's all there is to it.

So, lawyer, why didn't you file a report

to revoke her mother's custody

since she skips the visitation appointments?

since she skips the visitation appointments?

We did that, Sir.

But unfortunately...

her lawyer taught her very well what she needs to do.

her lawyer taught her very well what she needs to do.

She would miss the visits four times a month

then she would show up once.

We failed to revoke her custody rights.

We filed the request but it was denied.

And Sir, even if we revoke her custody

And Sir, even if we revoke her custody

the child would go to the maternal grandmother.

So what's the point?

Alright, weren't there any friendly ways?

Alright, weren't there any friendly ways?

Didn't you try to reach an agreement with her in any way?

No, Sir.

Unfortunately, there isn't any friendly behavior.

It's over, there isn't any way.

And when I tell her now that I want to see my daughter

And when I tell her now that I want to see my daughter

her lawyer makes her hang up the phone and block my number.

Sir, he convinced her that if she gives me a chance

to see my daughter and talk to her

to see my daughter and talk to her

she'll lose her with time and will never see her again.

- Miss Maryam - Yes?

I know you're honest and trustworthy

This is my first time coming to a place like this.

I'm not very familiar with these places, sir.

- Then calm down. - I'm fine, don't worry, but...

Is he really her father?

Whether he is or not it's none of your business.

Whether he is or not it's none of your business.

You just have to tell them about what you saw.

Take it easy take it easy, Mr. Amjad.

This is Miss Maryam she's dear to me.

Don't worry about anything.

I haven't done anything to you yet!
