Louly!
Happy birthday, sweetie.
Thank you.
Look at the camera, and tell me what you want for this next year.
Everything!
Okay. Which one of us do you love the most?
All of you.
Yes, I know, but who is your favorite?
Yo! Mom, Nadia, and Dad!
-Hey! What about me? -You as well.
High five.
-Listen. -Hm?
Sarah wants you.
What do you mean?
She likes you.
-Yehia, let it go, please. -What?
Leave me… alone.
Fine. Leave him alone!
Tell me, do you like Yehia?
You know what, Sherif, no I don't.
-Me neither. -I'm gonna get you! Come here!
-Come here! -Yehia, leave her alone! Yehia!
-Sherif! -Hmm?
Come with. Come, Nadia, I'll tell you now. I need you for a sec.
-What do you need me for. -Just come here, man! Get in.

Mr. Michael, welcome.
Thank you for the invite.
It's our pleasure to have you here today.
Very nice party.
I hope you enjoy it.
-Hi, Lull! -Sherif.
-I've missed you. -I've missed you too.
-Where's Amira? -Uh… nothing.
Aya's not feeling well, so she stayed behind.
Is she okay?
Don't worry, it's nothing. I didn't expect to see you here today.
Yeah, not my scene.
But you know Dad. He insisted I be here.
Same for me, but what am I to do?
Hm.
I would like to thank all our guests
who honor us every year by attending the Eco Salt's annual gala.
I'd also like to welcome our first-time guests who are among us today
and thank them very much for their valuable support.
And on this occasion, I'd like to announce our new partnership
with Mr. Michael Thompson, and welcome him to Egypt.
Please, enjoy this very special evening.
Someone go check the power.
Nadia!
It's your fault!
Forgive me, Nadia.
I want to get into the factory
It isn't easy, but… but it's possible.
Something feels off. We should leave now.
No. I'm not coming.
Have Youssri follow up the investigation with the police.
Was anyone hurt?
-No. -And the new machines?
The whole factory is gone.
I told you we had to reach out to him.
Maybe we could have reached a compromise.
But he was inside the villa.
He could have caused a disaster here but didn't.
What else did you want him to do?
He didn't just burn down the factory.
He killed Mahfouz, the lawyer.
What, are you surprised? He killed him.
-And you're still defending him! -I'm not. I'm being rational.
Rational? Your friend is a murderer!
I don't get it. Whose side are you on?
I think I answered this question a long time ago, Ali.
-Excuse me, Uncle, I'm leaving. -Of course, you're not worried!
Because you're the only one he'll never hurt.
I'm part of the family. Whatever happens to you, happens to me.
What Ali's saying is right though.
If he hurts anyone, it won't be you, Sherif.
What are we going to do?
Will we call the police?
Of course not.
And get ourselves in trouble?
The sewage drain I sealed 15 years ago would blow up.
Then what are we going to do?
You knew when you wake up and can't remember a dream that you had
but you keep getting flashes of it?
And you don't know what's real and what's not?
But…
Anyway, forget about me now.
Please, can you tell me what happened?
How did that girl die?
Why did Yehia do this today?
You don't have to think about all this.
Just think about yourself above all else.
And be safe. I tell you what.
Book a ticket and come over.
YEHIA
♪ Happy Birthday To You ♪

Layla. What are you looking at?
This has nothing to do with you.
How is that possible?
That guy was here yesterday. Anything could've happened to any of us.
It's not just that I don't understand. I don't seem to remember anything.
There's nothing to remember.
Only that this girl was Ali's girlfriend,
and she drowned.
No.
She was murdered. That's what the court said.
Who killed her?
Her brother.
If we're going to believe what the court said, it said it was her brother.
Why did he do it?
No one knows.
And it's none of our business.
Layla.
There's no need for all this headache.
Could you go to your sister, like she said?
I've been trying to reach you for a while. Where have you been?
I need you to end this nightmare for me.
I'll double your usual fee.
Then I found the picture of the lawyer on my phone.
How did you get it?
It was sent to me.
Sent to you?
Show me what was sent to you.
The guy hacked your phone.
And planted a tracker on your car.
The guy is smart.
And not alone.
Not alone?
He got inside the factory.
Someone must've helped him and got him fake IDs.
Are these cameras connected to your phone?
-Good morning, Yehia. -Good morning, Fatla.
How did it go?
I gave the guy three months' in advance. He was happy.
-No questions? -He's an idiot!
Even if he asks, we're just renting an apartment here.
We're honest people. Our hands our clean.
-Want some tea? -No.
Uh, listen.
-This whole thing seems like trouble. -Trouble?
We're just getting started.
-You thought this was just for fun? -That's not what I meant.
I thought it'd be one or two hits and that's it.
If you want to quit, just say so.
But tell me now.
None of that, my man. I'm just worried about you.
Whatever harms you, harms us.
Expecting someone?
We are expecting someone.
-Thanks. -You're welcome.
You still remember this stuff after all these years?
Not all of it.
Some things I couldn't let myself forget.
What do you say, Fatla?
You're with me?
Or not?
That's a tracker.
Security found it on your car.
Yehia planted it.
I want you to stay in the house for now.
What do you mean?
I'll stay locked up in here?
-Until all this passes. -And work?
Ali, your safety is more important than work.
Dad, the man is already rethinking our partnership because of what happened.
Please. Just do as you're told and stay at home.
I'm no coward, I won't hide.
ALI WAS NOT THE ONE WHO KILLED NADIA
WHO ARE YOU?
HE DIDN'T KILL NADIA HE WANTED TO MARRY HER
THE ANSWER IS ELSEWHERE
WHO???
Come on, Salah. Come on, Salah!
Pass it to the other side. The other side, now!
Yes! Yes! Enough, man, you'll jinx us!
There's still plenty of time!
PLAINTIFF: YASSIN EZZEDDIN METWALLI
CONSERVATORSHIP OVER EZZEDDIN METWALLI
Damn it!
-Hey, brother. -Yes?
Can I use your phone? Mine just dead.
Sure thing. No problem. Here.
-I'll just update the missus. -Sure.
Hey, woman. Salah missed.
No, no, Salah doesn't miss.
Open the link.
-Don't forget to delete the message. -All right. All right.
Text me at this number, and I'll come over. Bye.
-Thank you. God bless you. -No problem.
All the factory cameras were disconnected before the fire.
We need you to help us out here.
I mean, is there's anyone that you suspect could be behind this.
No.
Not any of the people who work with you here?
What's this? Ali!
Where are you going?
-To work. -Work?
I see that you're acting normal, like no one is threatening to kill you.
You can't go out with the situation we're in.
Why not?
What for?
-Because you think I'm a coward? -Of course not!
No, you think I'm a coward.
And that I don't know how to do anything other than hide.
Like what happened back then.
When you sent me abroad.
Also, so I would hide.
And when I came back…
I spent 15 years doing what you told me.
Until I failed at everything.
But I'm sorry.
I'm fed up.
It's gone far enough.
Gamal, take me to the Four Seasons, then to the factory.
Sure, Mr. Ali.
Hey, Sherif.
Hey!
What a nice surprise.
I was nearby, so I thought I would come and say hi.
-How are you? -I'm good. And you?
All good. So, any new trips or adventures soon?
Yeah, maybe next summer.
-You're in the wrong family. -It is what it is.
So, what will you have?
Um…
Nothing.
Sherif, did you…
Did you know Yehia when you were young?
Yehia?
Why?
Why do you ask?
Weren't you guys close friends?
What is it, Layla?
What are you all hiding, Sherif?
Who's "we"?
All of you. The whole family.
I'm not hiding anything. I don't even know what you mean.
Oh, really?
You do know, Sherif.
You know because he was your friend.
And just like he wrote on your photos together, "friends forever",
he wrote on his photo with his sister that they would always be together.
You expect me to believe that he killed her a week after this was taken?
I don't know.
Okay, assuming he did kill her,
why would he?
I don't know. Why don't you ask him?
Why was he at my birthday?
Listen, Sherif.
I don't remember anything, and you're all just lying to me.
I promise, no one will find out you told me anything.
You know me well.
Who in my family did it?
I don't know.
If you don't know, then who does?
We were friends.
But for 15 years, I haven't heard from him.
Until the party.
And I don't know what you're looking for or why.
But you're asking the wrong person.
Really?
Fine.
And these are the new workers?
I want to meet those guys.
I don't know if you can hear me or just see me.
But I want to meet you.
Yehia, I know who killed Nadia.
Can you hear me?
I KNOW WHO KILLED NADIA
THE ARAB CONTRACTORS ROWING CLUB
Ali.
Let's go say hi to him.
Welcome.
Thank you.
Why are you here?
I picked Mr. Michael from the airport, and I want to give him a tour here.
Did we say that you'll stay home until you feel better?
Mmm, we did.
Mr. Michael came to check on all his investments,
so it was important for me to be here.
Oh, Dad, he's insisting,
that if he's going to supply us with new machinery,
his share needs to be higher. He insists.
Well, we'll see.
Mmm.
We'll see.
Well, let's discuss this later, shall we?
Hm? Right? Let me give him a tour of the factory first.
Although I wanted to show him the one that burned down.
Let's go, Mr. Michael. Let's go.
So who was it that killed Nadia?
I don't know. But I know it wasn't you.
I believe that you didn't kill her.
You wanted to meet me to tell me I didn't kill her.
You think this is a game?
No. I wanted to meet you because I want to know too.
What do you want to know?
What happened.
Who killed her.
Did you message me on Facebook?
Facebook?
You want to know what happened?
Ask your father,
your mother,
and your brother.
Ask them.
Hello, sir.
Come here, kid.
Yes, sir.
They call you Salah Maldini?
That's right, sir.
Really? How come Maldini?
I know, sir, I'm not like him at all.
But they called me that on my street as a kid.
And since then, the name kind of stuck.
Hm.
Sit down, Maldini.
Thank you, sir.
Here.
Thank you, sir. Thank you.
Now, tell me.
Where were you on the night of the factory fire?
I… I… I… I was at home, sir.
Does your mother know?
-What does my mother have to do with this? -I asked her. She said you weren't there.
Y… You asked her?
What's wrong?
N… Nothing, sir, but…
But… But I remember that I was at home.
I… I don't know, sir. May… maybe I got the days mixed up.
Maybe I went to hang out with the guys for a while.
-So you didn't go near the factory? -No, I swear.
Okay, Maldini.
Give this to your little sister.
-Th… thank you, sir, thanks. -Huh?
Thank you, sir.
Can I go, sir?
You've got a flat tire.
-What is it? -I think we've got a flat tire, sir.
If you don't mind, I'll pull over to check.
Okay, but hurry.
Just one minute. I won't be long.
Okay.
It's fine, no problem. Thank yo--
Hello, Ali.
Go.
Here.
Turn around.
Turn around!
I didn't want her to die, Yehia.
I never wanted to be apart from her.
Or for you to suffer.
You're a liar.
And a coward, Ali.
You dumped the responsibility on a girl you slept with, and not just that.
You also got rid of her.
And the baby too.
You want to kill me like you killed her, you coward?
I didn't kill Nadia! Don't be stupid! Listen!
It was all a mistake!
A mistake I've been paying for every day of my life since!
Her death wasn't an accident! She was murdered!
Murdered?
What do you mean, murdered?
You mean someone wanted her to die?
You think.
Yes, Ali. Someone wanted her dead.
You want me to believe that you didn't kill her and didn't know she was killed?
I didn't.
How could I have done it when I was responsible for the dive?
The responsibility your dad forced on me, Ali.
Enough, Ali! Enough!
Please stop!
I've spent all my whole life too scared to look in the mirror.
Because I thought she died because of me.
And now you're accusing me of killing her?
Not surprising. For someone whose father made his grandfather die of grief.
To kill his own child, and its mother!
My father?
The only thing I know is that,
I would never do this to the only person I've ever loved in my life!
When Nadia came and told me she was pregnant, I said, "Let's get married."
When I proposed to her, she said, "Yes"!
-Sherif! Come, I need you for a sec. -Wait.
Sherif was right there with us! And he filmed it!
How would I kill her after all that?
If you really believe I did that years ago,
it would be a lot easier now.
Then who killed Nadia, Ali?
