Here she comes, get it together now

- Hello! - Hello!

Welcome, sweetie! Did you have fun?

I had a lot of fun! But more importantly how are you now?

I'm great

What's wrong, Mom? I feel like you're not okay!

- That's right, we're a little busy with... - With what?

- What did we promise you a while ago? - To travel to Canada!

- Don't tell me you've postponed it? - Your father and I wanted to surprise you

and we found that we have time in our schedule, so why not go tomorrow?

Really? Tomorrow?

But what about school?

Don't worry about school I'll sort it out with them

Yes!

But how will I pack my stuff on time?

If you go into your room right now and start packing, you can do it

His answers were strangely tense and provocative

and it turned into a screaming match

He even called security can you believe that?

I didn't expect things to develop so quickly

Captain, we can't do anything without your help

Yes, but we don't want to go from one problem to another

Fadi is an influential man in this country and he's well-connected

I'm afraid he will take the girl and run away with her out of the country

- We want to investigate him - On what basis will we do that?

Based on the information we told you

This is not enough, Doctor! I already explained this to Dr. Hazem

There's no charge that requires me to investigate him like that

We're going to file a complaint against him

and you're supposed to investigate it, right?

Right, but there are procedures to take in order to reach this stage

We can't just go to the man and say

"We'd like to ask you about your daughter" and ask for a DNA test

We'll file a complaint against him and you'll investigate him

then ask for a picture of his daughter as a three-year-old

and compare it to the picture of our daughter, Shams

Then you'll see the resemblance and ask for a DNA test

- What if we file a paternity suit? - You need evidence

First, there's the resemblance between the two pictures at the same age

Second, there's the missing info in her file at the shelter

which you said yourself was suspicious

He says he knows the girl's parents but that wasn't mentioned in the file

Why would he lie?

What made you completely change your mind?

His reaction confirmed to me that he's hiding something

We just want to file a lawsuit, legally

Can't you handle it and expedite the procedures?

Of course we can

But you're saying you want it done quickly before he leaves with his family

We're asking for your help here!

I'm just afraid he'll take the girl and go out of the country

What can we do?

Let me see what I can do but I can't promise you anything

What happened to you, Sharara? What did you do?

- I fell in the field - Okay, listen

I'll sterilize the wound now

I'll clean it and wrap it up temporarily

But the wound can't be left like this for long

This wound needs stitches or it'll get infected with germs

Go to your father immediately and have him take you to the hospital

- Got it? - Okay, just bandage it well, please

Of course I will, and it'll hurt a little but that's okay

Watch out, there's a rock here

This is not okay! You need to go to the hospital

She told you it needs stitches

- No, it doesn't - This is not okay

If the wound doesn't heal, I'll go

Thanks, Waheed, if you hadn't intervened I would've been killed

Don't say that, we're friends

- Aren't we? - Of course we are

But I'll show that bastard Masoud! He thinks I won't pay him back

Why would you? You've already hit him many times before

Leave him be, he's already scared of you

Don't go near him

Listen, don't say anything at home we don't want to get scolded

Alright! If someone asks me I won't say you were beaten up

Will it work?

Will the report that Rafiq filed help us?

We had no other choice, Mia

I feel like life is just a small box and I am trapped inside of it

I feel like I'm suffocating

There's only a small step between me

and my soul that was taken from me years ago

How I wish to go to Shams right this moment

hug her

and kiss her face, her eyes and her hands

Soon

Soon, God willing

Thank God you're safe now

It went well this time but take extra care of yourselves

- Bye - By, my man Waheed

Where were you? And what happened to your arm?

- Nothing, I fell in the field - Didn't I ask you to wait for me?

I've been waiting for you for an hour! Let's go get some work done now

Besides, what changed? Didn't you use to hate him?

You're calling him "your man Waheed" now!

Didn't you tell me we have interests with them?

True

Let's go

Abu Ammar! Everyone's watching us these days

- Be careful - Okay, don't worry

You're amazing, Sharara

- Bye now - Bye

I don't know when I'll be back should I bring you anything with me?

I'll miss you, take care! Bye!

In life, most of our expectations revolve around us

or even the people around us

They may simply turn out to be delusions in the end

We often say to ourselves

"I would never be in this place or this situation"

Suddenly, in an instant and without realizing it

we find ourselves in that place

We find ourselves in the place that even our imagination rejected

That may be where you are in your life

where you are in your career or your relationship

Or maybe where you see yourself as well

Despite all this you have to forgive yourself

You have to always believe that you deserve the best

Happy Birthday to you

Happy Birthday, dear Alyssar Happy Birthday to you

Are you okay, Mia?

I'm afraid to lose her again

I feel like he'll run away with her out of the country

Call Rafiq please he's taking too long, please

We have to be a little patient Rafiq is doing his best without delay

But it will take time to get the permission to investigate

Are you hurting?

No, it's nothing

- I wish you had gone to the hospital - Shut up now

What is this you're taking?

It's an medication for infection that the pharmacist prescribed to me

I'm not entirely convinced you fell

Did you actually get into an fight with someone and you don't want to tell me?

Can't I fall? I just tripped and fell

He stepped on the ball, fell on his back and the iron skewer cut his hand

I wish you had seen him then it was so funny

Why did you take the medication before eating?

Because he said I must take it before eating

Here you ho!

There's nothing wrong with it it is in perfect condition

Then why does the engine stop sometimes?

If this happens again it must be because of the fuel filter

- Come back and I'll replace it don't worry - Okay

- How much do I owe you, Mr. Adel? - Nothing

- But this is your livelihood, man! - Don't say that, it's nothing

Thank you very much

Mr. Adel, have you thought about the thing I told you about?

I'm thinking about it I'm thinking about it, but...

Can you give me some time?

Think as much as you like we are in no hurry

- Thank you - You're welcome, take care

Boss, are you really selling him the shop?

I'm just stalling him so he'll stop nagging

- I see - Dad!

- I'm going to school for extra lessons - For extra lessons!

Be safe, dear

- Do you need anything? - No, thanks

- Take care, be safe - Okay

- Did he refuse to sell? - He said he's thinking about it

Why is he being so stubborn? Uncle said he could hurt them if he refused to sell

Keep your voice down! Are you dumb?

Screw him and his family

Sharara!

What's wrong with your arm?

You must've had a fight with someone as usual!

No, I fell in the field yesterday

Get well soon

Sharara!

What does Uncle Assi want from Sawsan and her family?

Would he really hurt them?

What if one of his men attacks her on the way?

Don't eavesdrop on us again! Shut your mouth, okay? Go inside now!

- Is that all? - There's only Silla's bag left

Ask her to hurry and I'll carry this one

Hello, Dr. Fadi!

Welcome

- What's the matter? - Can I talk to you for a minute?

You two?

Has it really come to this?!

Please, Doctor we won't take much of your time

We just want to ask a few questions

Looks like you're leaving!

Yes, we are

I won't answer any questions without my lawyer present

This is a permission to investigate by the Public Prosecution

What's wrong with you two?

What do you want from me and my family?

I want my daughter I just want my daughter

Why is our right to have our daughter back so strange to you?

Why, Doctor?

- Shams! - What's going on, Dad?

- Shams, sweetie! - What you're doing is not okay, Dr. Mia!

- Please! - Come here!

- Go inside, Silla! Go to your room! - Come here! I want my daughter!

- Go to your room now! - Mia, Mia!

- Right now! - I want my daughter!

- I want my daughter! - Okay, Mia, okay!

Okay, okay, calm down, calm down!

- I want her now! - Calm down, calm down!

I want Shams!

Now what?

- Are we going to keep waiting here? - Mia! We need to calm down a little

At least we managed to get here before they left or went somewhere

We can only make them respond to us within the scope of the law

Let's give them some time while their lawyer arrives

Besides, you being here might complicate things

Dr. Hazem

I asked you not to follow me

Rafiq!

Can he somehow evade this investigation?

What can we do in that case?

Call our lawyer!

A lawyer can't help us in a case like this

Do something!

Call all your contacts and have them put pressure on this officer!

No one can help us with anything as there is a case filed against us

Let's leave now!

What's wrong with you? I feel like you're suddenly giving up!

Answer me!

First of all

our names must've been put out at the border

Second of all, we must be under a travel ban now

Even if we manage to evade the investigation and leave, as you say

Do you know what that means?

- It means we won't be able to come back - Then we won't come back

- We will stay in Canada - If we escape and leave

we will be in even more trouble

Because they can easily prove that Silla is their daughter

There are a hundred DNA samples that they can test in this home

Do you know what will happen then?

Everything we've built in our lives will be destroyed

and that'll be the least of our losses

Most importantly, how this would make us look in front of Silla and everyone else!

- They'll think we really kidnapped her - I don't care

The only thing I care about is not losing my daughter

Hanaa!

They're absolutely convinced that Silla is their daughter

Do you think they'll just let us leave and run away?

They will search for us in all countries of the world

What do you want us to tell Silla?

We can't hide

We would ruin our lives and hers by doing so

What do you mean?

Are we going to let them take our daughter and do nothing about it?

Why are you quiet?

The officer asked for pictures of Silla as a child

If he compares the pictures we have with the pictures they have

it'll be enough evidence for him ask for a DNA test

Even if the case goes to court

we will all be ruined

What do we do then? Do we give them our daughter?

Let's get rid of police interference first

Then we'll think about the next step and go from there

If the case goes to court

we will all pay

Me, you and Silla

What do I tell Silla? What do I tell her?

Looks like we can only tell her the truth

Where were you?

Your uncle asked about you

- I came right after you called, did he go? - Yes, he's busy

Listen, go buy me one of those big locks for stores, do you know them?

- Yes, what for? - Buy it now and I'll explain later

Wait!

I better go and buy it myself from outside the neighborhood

What's wrong, Mom?

Why did dad yell at me in front of them?

Why are they still here? And why did that lady call me Shams?

Dr. Hazem

Can I talk to you in private please?

Mia!

I want to hear what he's going to say!

Can we talk to you about this without the police getting involved?

Why?

I hope you can appreciate Silla's shock

my family's situation and the position you put us in...

There's only one truth

Silla is my daughter Shams

Please!

Let's discuss this among ourselves away from the police

At least to protect Silla from trauma and its consequences

which will affect us and her

If she is really your daughter

- help me protect her - What guarantee do we have?

You were just about to take the girl and leave the country

without any feeling of guilt towards us or even her!

You came to my house to take my daughter away from, my daughter, do you understand?

I was the one who raised her took care of her

and worried about her from the slightest thing

So what would you have me do?

I'm asking you for the last time

I'm asking you to do this for her sake, to protect her

Not out of weakness or fear from you, believe me

If you don't want us to handle it this way...

It's okay, we can do it the hard way and see each other in court

Then, believe me...

I'll do everything in my power to keep my daughter in my arms

to an extent that even you can't imagine

- Where's your step-mom? - Upstairs with Naseem

Good, listen to me carefully and pay attention to what I'm going to say

Keep this lock with you

Go to Waheed and drink some tea with him

Humor him and talk to him about anything

Just make sure that no one is there and replace this lock with the shop's one

I bought a used one so no one would notice

How do I do that?

Adel always leaves the shop's lock hanging on the door

Sneak up to it and hang this one in its place

Will my uncle go into the shop after Mr. Adel leaves?

No, your uncle won't, you will

- What will I do inside? - What's gotten into you?

You used to always do whatever I asked

Why are you asking all these questions now?

- Shouldn't I understand? - No, you shouldn't

Just do what I ask of you

Keep the lock so no one would notice when we return it, got it?

Are you sure, Hazem? Are you sure you want me to stand down?

No, Rafiq, we don't want to stand down

We don't want to drop the suit either, but...

Let's hear what he has to say

and maybe we can solve the issue with less trouble

I'm asking you this as a friend

I don't feel good about this

- But I don't know, maybe this is better - Sweetie

we want to get our daughter back

We're not here to wage war

This solution may actually be better for Shams

Even if that's the case you should know something

No matter how you handle it

- you filed a lawsuit against him - I know that

I know, I get it, and I'm so sorry for the confusion we caused you

But you can see what's happening right in front of you

- and you can see our confusion - Alright

But tell everything that happens right away

Sure, thank you

Okay, bye

When we brought you in

we were so certain that no one would come to take you from us

We thought fate had put you in our path and us in yours

So that you don't become an orphan

So we can achieve our dream

and become a mother and a father

After the accident we had...

I could no longer have kids

Because I had to have a hysterectomy

What do you mean, Mom? How can you say they're my parents?

We don't know anything yet, honey I'm just saying it's a possibility

- What's going to happen, Mom? - Nothing bad is going to happen

I promise, sweetheart

But I don't remember them and I don't know who they are!

- How can they come and take me? - No one is going to take you from us

Your dad is out there handling it

- You promised me - And I'll promise you again

No one can take you from us

Your dad and I only had one dream which was to have a child

And yet, you all lied to me! You're all liars!

We didn't want to upset you

I swear we didn't know about this

When we first saw her, she was asleep

She was tired and her clothes were dirty

When I held her for the first time

she opened her eyes and looked at me

She kept looking at me

After a while, she smiled

as if she felt safe in my arms

Then she went back to sleep

She was in shock

She didn't talk at all and didn't eat much

We tried calling her several names but she did not respond

But she seemed to like the name Silla

Didn't it occur to you that her parents might be looking for her?

How would it occur to me?

As I told you, the doorman told me that all their relatives

died at sea while migrating and she had no one left

So it wasn't true that you knew the girl's parents!

Who is he?

- What's his name? - I told you I don't know him well

He was the doorman of a building we lived in for a short time

All I know is that we used to call him Abu Walid

He had no family then he died a month later

He gave me the girl because he was afraid to take her to the shelter

He was afraid they'd ask questions

So I decided to adopt her

What right did you have to change her name

and conceal any information about where and how you found her?

I told you, the man told me she was an orphan and her parents had died

So what would you have me do? Leave her at the orphanage?

Or take her home with me to live with a family that loves her?

Where she can eat, drink, dress well and learn like other kids

Thank you for being kind to my daughter for all these years and caring for her

But Shams's real parents are here and she has to live with them

- Hello, Waheed! - Hey, Sharara!

- How's your arm? - Great, it's nothing

- Thank God you're okay - Shall we have some tea?

Of course, have a seat and pour some

- Here you go - Thank you

She was three years old

- Which means, she knew her name well - I told you, she was in shock

She didn't say a word and we sought help from several specialists

When she started to get a little better and got over the shock

we couldn't learn anything from her that might lead us to you

Didn't she mention us even once?

Nothing? Not a single detail?

Nothing at all

I want to talk to her to remind her

Please!

Silla is a very sensitive girl and she's in shock now

We need to explain this to her before she can meet you

and before you say anything to her

- We should also consult a specialist - What do you mean?

Am I going to have to wait longer?

Of course she won't accept a strange woman

coming and telling her "I'm your mother" overnight

I'm not a strange woman

- I'm really her mother - For Silla, I'm her mother

I'm the one who raised her played with her, stayed up late with her

waited for the school bus with her every morning

and waited for her to return from her exam to hug her

I'm her mother and I know every little thing

that my daughter likes or dislikes

I don't deny your

Your concern for Shams is clear and undeniable

But I'm asking you and begging you to understand how feel

I'm a mother who lost her kids for years

and lived in the hope of finding them again

And today, she found her daughter! She found Shams!

Please understand the ache in my heart

Alright

What do you want from us now?

Our daughter must come back to us, Dr. Fadi

Choose the method that's best for you

that would help you avoid any social and legal consequences

and I'm willing to do it

She has the right to know that we exist and we have the right to tell her

As for her choice in the matter you'll have to excuse me

That's not your choice or hers not even legally

Silla, or Shams...

is still a minor

and I'm sure she'll remember her parents

Especially when she lives with us

I feel like you're a good person who is brave and strong as well

You mean a delinquent and a troublemaker!

No, I didn't say that

If you're not like this everyone will walk all over you

You're right

Wait here, my boss's phone is ringing I'll take it to him and I'll be right back

Hello, Alfred! How are you?

I know, dear

I know you threw a party for me but I couldn't go, I was too tired

It might be some virus, I don't know

Of course I'll make it up to you

I'll see you at the station today, dear, okay?

Bye now

Hi, Mia, how are you?

I'm worried about you, as I called you yesterday and you didn't pick up

and Hazem isn't picking up either

So as soon as you hear this voice message

please answer me and tell me what happened, okay?

Oh right! Mr. Adel told me about your bravery with Sawsan

when those two guys attacked her

And you're glad I defended your girlfriend, right?

Sawsan?

What are you saying? Do you think I would fall for my boss's daughter?

But...

I love her friend at school and she loves me too

Sometimes she asks her to give me an apple or an orange

and sometimes she sends flowers as gifts

- And I send her stuff as well - Really?

- Yes - I thought you and Sawsan were lovers

Sawsan is like a sister to me

I love her friend at school and she loves me back

When we get older, I'll propose to her

I won't keep you any longer, Waheed I'm going to go now

- It's still early! - I have to go

Take care then

- Bye - Bye

How can you take Silla from us? How?

Because you raised her when you thought her parents were dead

But it turns out we're alive and sitting right in front of you

I have the right to claim my daughter

Dr. Fadi

Our daughter must come back to us

Reasonably, logically and legally this is the only way this will end

It's not that easy

Silla is a teenager

Even this news was a shock to her

How do you think she'll handle all these changes that will occur in her life?

A new home, a new family a new mother and father!

Not to mention her friends and her school

All these changes in her life will put a lot of pressure on her

Especially when people hear about it

Then we have to work together

for her sake

I'll die if they take Silla away from me

I know exactly how you feel

Because I almost died before you

I can feel what you're feeling and even more

But the difference is...

if you want to see her you know where she is

Of course, you can see her whenever you want

Okay, we want you to give us some time to explain what happened to her

But I don't want to go with them! I want to stay in our house with you!
