"Episode 13"

This is a post worthy of someone retiring, not of Ziad Joumaa

- Ghanem's wingman - Take it easy

Shall we lie to each other?

In the party or in the parliament whatever we do, we're his men

and we abide by his orders

And for the record

Ghanem's decisions are always in the best interest of all

What are you talking about? Ghimar won't be successful in the party

It's not his specialty

Ghanem has crossed his lines this time

- Someone must tell him no - Will you tell him no?

And then? You'll shout, scream, and even curse

Where do you want to get?

In the end, you'll have to obey him

I promise you not

this shouldn't be said to Ziad Joumaa

A guy who's been living aboard like him

won't make us support him or cheer for him

I have no problem in supporting him and cheering for him

and even celebrating him

But only in his coffin

Thank you

- Wait for me in the car -1 am sorry, ma'am

It's not a safe here Let me-come with you

Jad, it's not necessary I know how to walk alone

Please, this is my job

- Good morning, Souad Hello

Don't be surprised that I am visiting I need to talk to you

I need to tell you many things

May I come in?

Sure, come in

Please, wait for me in the car

Aunt Souhaila, you shouldn't be sad

You shouldn't keep a count of hours and days

You're beating yourself up

As I strike out a day I feel relieved

Bays are heavy and time is slow

Sometimes I feel imprisoned by time

Nothing can free me but this strike out on the paper

What's worse...

is that he's being punished for doing nothing

He's being punished for a mistake someone else did

He has nothing to do with it

Lower your voice, auntie Souhaila They will hear us

What have I done to suffer that much?

What have I done to suffer all this much?

What have I done?

I count the days waiting to see him

I go not knowing how he would be sick, tired or disgusted

I lost him, Doha I lost him sweetheart, I lost him

Nothing will ever compensate the days that are gone

I don't know what the prison is doing to him

God helps us

Calm down, calm down

This is what happened with me Believe me, I am telling you the truth

I want to tell you something, Doctor

When you came to visit me and after you left

I thought about you all the time

The way you helped us at the hospital and paying for the therapy

Amal is now gone...

but I owe you so much I am sorry, I was so angry last time

but no one can feel the sadness in my heart

When you become a mother

you will know how much your child means to you

I know

You know how much I loved Amal

and I did this from the bottom of my heart

May she rest in peace

She's in a far better place

God had mercy and eased her pain

I hope so I hope so

Don't cry, be strong for her sake

You have an angel in the sky

How can I hold my tears?

No one can feel my grief, Doctor

Yes, she feels you and sees you

Take it easy

- Let me make you something - No, please stay

I don't want to drink anything I can't be late, I need to go

I want your advice in something very important

- and I want you to help me - Help you? Me?

Play, it's the spades Come on

Are you nuts? You crazy player! Don't you have spades?

-ı don't, I am not joking Don't shout

- Play with spades, what is this? - Stop yelling!

- He's stupid - What's wrong with you?

Damn you, damn you

Damn you

You're stupid!

Listen, beautiful Stop calling me, got it?

Get out of my life It's over between us

Goodbye, go now Just go

So what did the biondie tell you?

Shut up!

Shut up. Haven't you heard what I told her?

I broke up with her, buddy

- Guys, let's drink for freedom For freedom

- For freedom - Freedom, guys

For freedom

So, you got afraid, both of you didn't you?

What's wrong, Bayan?

What's wrong, love?

Bayan? what's the matter, love?

Are you okay?

I had the same nightmare again

But this time it was very scary

I was falling from a very high place

Okay

I can't see the hand that pushes me down

Okay, it's okay, love Don't worry

What matters isn't the hand that pushes you

but the hand that holds you

Do you love me, Ghimar?

What?

Do you love me?

I adore you Come here

- Where are you going, dear? - To apply at the university

Didn't you do that yesterday?

No, auntie, I'm going to apply at the university today

I thought... Oh God!

I thought you went to the university yesterday

- Go, dear, go and take care You take care

If you need anything, call me I will come and get it for you

Don't go out

- Do you think I am a baby? - No, you're not a baby to me

but I care about you

Take care - See you

I will clean the bathroom, bedroom and kitchen when I'm back

Go, apply at the university and leave the chores to me

- What a generation! - Goodbye

Bye

Don't think the party members let it go just like that

Many will try to be a hindrance in your path

and will work hard to see you fail

You have a very short time to win over the support of some party members

Aren't they supposed to be loyal to me as they are to you, Bey?

I can give you the leadership

but wining people's loyalty and love is your responsibility

But, Bey, there are many keys to people's love

It's not about speeches and...

Pictures on the wall

- What are those keys? - Today, Bey, people need to feel

they are a part of the new world

which means the more we keep our companies moving

and work with the frozen accounts in the banks

the more people will stay loyal to the price of shares

But you must be aware that money alone don't make you a leader

Money is like the stock market it goes up and down, you win or lose

But you should mind people's dignity

while cutting off their privileges

This is so old school and I'm not sure if it fits nowadays

You still lack a lot of experience in politics

Ghimar...

I am fighting my men for you take this into consideration

Sure

Won't you tell me what's wrong with you?

- Nothing, ma'am - What do you mean by nothing?

It looks like you've been crying

No, no, ma'am I wasn't crying

What do you mean? Your eyes are swollen

-1 have the flu - Doha, are you lying to me?

- Sit and tell me what's wrong -1 swear, nothing's wrong, ma'am

- Take a seat - No, we can't, it's improper

lmProper? Why? - It's improper to sit with you

or even during your presence

Those are the mansion rules, ma'am

This is nonsense Who thinks like that?

Those are the mansion rules You get these rules from day one

Mrs. Susan told us...

Make me a cup of coffee

Yes, ma'am

Excuse me

Excuse me

- Good morning - Good morning

I said to myself since you are having your coffee alone

-1 will have it with you - Sure, why not?

Perhaps you'll explain to me the rules of the mansion

This is because I care for you, Doctor

In the mansion, things happen in a certain way

I know that housekeepers, chefs and drivers who work here live with us

But they can't cross the line

What does this mean?

I noticed recently, that you talk a lot with the workers here

I thought that I must advise you to leave a distance between you

Thank you for the advice

But everyone has his own way of treating people and seeing them

I am a doctor, I should heal and not harm

When I want to heal someone I don't ask for their ID

I don't care about their job their qualifications

their nationality or their religion

Before you make it a call for human rights

Let me tell you that things in the mansion are set in a certain way

We won't change it now to suit your ideas and convictions

The people you're describing as poor little things

be sure they will harm you if they could

I don't want us to convince each other

and you can't tell me how to treat people

Excuse me, I have a lot of things to do

What about your coffee, Doctor?

It's very heavy, I can't drink it Enjoy yours

Why aren't you answering your phone, Yara?

Rami, lower your voice

You belittled me in front of my friends!

Lower your voice, Rami a customer might enter the shop now

As if I always find customers here

What's wrong with you, Yara? What's happening? Tell me!

Rami, please, I am tired I can't be with you

You can't be what? You can't be with me?

- Rami, spare me, please - What did you say, Yara?

Are your parents1 lives that cheap to you?

Don't you dare speak about my parents!

Rami, please, spare me

I am so tired

Okay, I will think about it and get back to you

Yes, love, are you okay? You called me more than once

Love, where are you? You got me worried

I've been calling you since the morning you're not answering

I just finished my meeting and I'm heading to another one

Pick up and tell me you're busy It's not a big deal

Bayan, why are you talking to me like a baby?

Is that so? Thank you

Don't get angry I am kidding

- Tell me, what's happening? - Nothing, I'm just checking up on you

and to tell you I'm going home to get my stuff

Okay, Bayan, don't be stubborn go with the bodyguards, okay?

Please, let me use my car today

Call me back when you have time, bye

Please, don't follow me

- Hello, Dr. Bayan, good Hello, how are you, Osama?

- Park it in the parking, please - It's been a long time

You're right

The Bey's orders, ma'am

You know which floor, too?

- Sure - Great

Ma'am? Ma'am?

What?

Excuse me, the house has been empty for a while

I must check there is nothing in here

What would you find but dust?

Please, ma'am This is the nature of my job

Come in

- Would you please wait outside? - No

I am sorry, ma'am You can be relieved now

Don't worry, did you make sure there are no ghosts or thieves in the closet?

I'm so sorry, ma'am If you need anything, I II be outside

Don't tell me this is an innocent visit, too

You suddenly loved your relatives?

What is it, Susan?

I need your help It will be for our best

Now we're talking

- Tell me what do you want exactly? - Ghimar

Ghimar Ghanem

- How are you, sweetheart? I am fine, mother. I am fine

What's wrong with your eye? Why is it swollen?

- Who did that to you? - Mother, I was in a fight

Sabeh, haven't I told you not to talk with them?

They are criminals we're not like them

Who shall I talk to? I am in jail

Tell me, what's wrong with you? I don't like your tone

Is someone mistreating you at the mansion?

On the contrary

Mrs. Susan, Ghanem, and everyone they're treating me very well

Mother, please, stop it You've been visiting me for a year

and I see you crying every time

How can't I be crying?

Is this a life you're leading here?

Mother, I chose to be here You know the reason very well

It's better for both of us

Please, stop crying If you want me to be happy, smile

I brought you Mloukhiya stuffed vine leaves

homemade labneh and olives, things you love

Come on, mother

Everything will be fine, son Everything will be fine

- Who is it? - Asaad

Come in, Asaad

Is there something wrong, Bey?

No, I am fine

Dr. Bayan must see you today

I am more than fine, Asaad

I need to talk to you

Later

Leave me alone, now

Leave me alone, now

What's happening, Houaida? Whose bags are those?

Mrs. Bayan brought her stuff here and they are putting them in her room

Ma'am, do you want me to take these to the laundry room?

Or shall I put them in the closet?

If they need to be cleaned

- Please, do so - Okay, ma'am

Doha, if you're still feeling bad go and get some rest

- We can carry on - No, I am fine

Please arrange them by colors Light skirts together

Dark shirts together

- No, don't mix them - Sure

The jacket is in there, right?

Let her see it

Slowly, slowly

Why has Doha been crying since this morning?

I am guessing there is something

Maybe her boyfriend upset her

Oh, she's in love I was wondering what's happening

Yes, ma'am? They told me you sent for me

My white shirt with the embroidered neckline, where is it?

I'm sorry, ma'am. I don't usually take care of your clothes

Besides, you've been wearing nothing but black for a while

Go and bring all the girls who work here to look for it

- Now - Okay

Okay, ma'am, ©kay

Saydeh, we will arrange the dresses by colors, too

Doha, please, don't mix colors Separate white shirts from black shirts

Sure, ma'am

Girls, quickly to Mrs. Susan's room

- Yes, ma'am - Doha, come on

to Mrs. Susan's room Hurry up, go

- Is anything wrong, Souhaila? -1 am sorry, Mrs. Bayan

Mrs. Susan lost her shirt She needs to ask the girls about it

Please, don't be mad at me

Of course not, it's not your fault

I'm sad because she's trying her best to push my buttons

I am not giving her that But until when?

She's always been difficult

Now, after her son Raghid passed away, she became even more difficult

That's why we need to take it easy on her

Okay, no problem I will carry on arranging them

- Thank you - I'm sorry, Mrs. Bayan, excuse me

Hello? Yes, Souad I'm fine

Tell me, did you find something nice?

Yes, Doctor, I found exactly what you need

a 200-meter apartment or a bit more

This is what the realtor told me

Listen, I don't know about those things

The realtor is here I will put you...

on speaker so you can talk to him

- Go on, tell the Doctor - Hello, Doctor

Doctor, it has a small garden

To be honest, the landlord wants to sell quickly

he's going to his son in Brazil

Is there entrance on the main road?

I need the seniors to get in easily without going up the stairs

Ma'am, if you come you'll see it checks all the boxes

Great, can I see it tomorrow morning?

Yes, sure, ma'am Don't you worry

I will call him and book an appointment for tomorrow

' k«p you postM

But this man lives a bit far so we need to confirm the appointment

I don't want him to come all the way from the mountains

So, Doctor? Shall we book an appointment for tomorrow?

Of course I won't change my mind

Just get back to me concerning the exact timing

- Okay, sure - Goodbye, Souad

Why are you so upset, darling?

I told you, you'll figure it out with Jad

I told you, auntie We can't figure it out easily

All the papers I have need to be accredited

from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the of Ministry of Education in Damascus

It's okay

You'll go for a couple of days to Damascus and sort this out

If you can't go personally we will send someone

to accredit them and get them back

I will lose a week and another to accredit the papers

Oh God, how pessimist you are!

There is a solution for everything in this world

Jad is here

Money is no problem You should resume your studies

We should have done it when you first came here

You're right

But I wasn't in the mood I didn't want to study

It's okay

You will get what you want

Jad, when the papers get back I won't have time to apply

Why don't you talk to one of your friends in Damascus?

Maybe he can help with the accreditation of the papers?

Believe me I won't make it on time

Okay, let me see what I can do

Son

I know you don't like to ask anything of Ghimar

But you're guarding him with your life

Let him pull some strings for you

He and his father are very influential here

Mother, how many times should I tell you

that the job I get paid to do, is to protect Ghimar?

He owes me nothing

I said nothing, sweetheart

All I want for this girl is to apply at the university

I don't care, figure it both out

Good night, it's out of my hands

No way, Um Jad You shall not sleep sad

I'm so sorry

I feel you don't like listening to me anymore

-1 love listening to you - God bless you

God bless you both May I see you married

- so I can be relieved - Long may you live

God bless you

I'm leaving

Goodnight

Asaad sent you some papers

so you can read them and give your feedback

True, I was busy, and couldn't do it but I promise you, I will do so today

Doctor, family time is sacred and not to be interrupted

We never answer our phones when we're having breakfast

Doctor, answer your phone It must be something urgent

You said it, love What san I do?

It's tough to be a doctor

Excuse me

Yes, Souad

Yes, tell me, what happened?

Excuse me
