Why isn't Ali here?
This is between me and him.
It's not up to Ali, sweetheart.
It's up to me.
And like I told you, on Monday, we're going to the doctor.
I've talked to him. He'll handle it.
Don't worry, Nadia.
We'll be back by the evening.
As if nothing happened.
I'll come along so you feel safe.
And once you recover,
we'll talk about your future with Ali.
She's cheating on you.
She's right here. Ask her.
That's none of your business.
And you'll do as I say.
I saw her--
I said, it's none of your business!
I've been asking for a divorce for a year now.
We haven't been intimate in two years.
What did you expect?
Don't tell me you didn't know.
I didn't want to know.
You've been in denial.
You just can't imagine losing something you want,
or anyone saying no to you.
You're fine with keeping me around,
knowing I can't stand this life.
Why do you do this?
Because you only care about yourself.
What you want is what has to happen.
From now on, it'll be different.
Only what I want will happen.
First,
you'll end it with him immediately.
Otherwise, I'll kill you both.
You know very well I can do that.
Second,
from now until one of us dies…
don't sleep next to me.
NADIA SUMMER 2007
Apologies, sir, but there's been an incident.
All rooms must be evacuated.
DON'T SAY THAT YOU SAW ANYTHING
MENTIONING YEHIA WILL BRING UP YASSIN AND YOUR WHOLE FAMILY
DELETE THIS MESSAGE IMMEDIATELY
How can I help you, sir?
What exactly is going on?
Someone knocked and told me there's been an incident.
There's a situation. Security found a dead guest upstairs.
That's the official story.
What really happened?
Looks like it was planned, and on a large scale.
How do you know?
The cameras were cut off right before it happened.
Everyone on that floor is being questioned.
-You can't go there, ma'am! -One sec.
-There she is! -Mona!
Get them to ID the girl with him.
We need her name.
Are you okay?
-I'm fine. -Are you hurt?
-Don't worry. -Are you sure?
Okay, I'll be right back.
The incident was on your floor, right?
-Yeah. -What happened?
I didn't see anything.
The officer wants to see you.
Did you text my daughter?
I'll explain later.
Later?
Are you acting on your own?
I acted so we don't all get screwed.
Alright, sir. I'm coming.
Please.
Was Yehia involved in this?
Come on, ma'am.
Not on the phone.
I'm calling for something else.
He's been under your thumb, and we had no idea.
What do you mean?
I'll explain when we meet.
Is that him?
Is that him or not?
It's him.
Answer him.
I'm scared.
Don't you want to avenge Fatla?
Answer him.
Answer him!
Yes, Mr. Khaled.
Sure.
I wouldn't have had the courage to meet Master Fatla,
or to look him in the eye.
But now, I can meet him with a clear conscience.
It couldn't have…
gone…
any other way.
IT'S CLOSER THAN YOU THINK
Where are you?
I'm coming for you, Yassin.
It'll be soon.
Very soon.
How did you get in here?
-I… -Did you change the lock?
Yes, I was worried about you.
I was worried you'd been injured, like last time.
What happened?
I'm fine.
Now, go.
What happened?
I called you and you haven't been answering.
What's going on?
Tell me.
What do you think
I'm going to do to Nadia's killer when I find them?
Do you think I'll turn them in without evidence?
This can only end one way.
You'd better back away.
Worry about yourself.
Anyone who gets close to me dies.
Nadia.
My mother.
Fatla.
Maldini. A kid. He had nothing to do with this.
They're all dead,
and I haven't found Nadia's killer.
All of them.
Fatla, your friend?
Did you go to Mona?
How did you find her?
Look at me.
Were you using me, Yehia?
Why did you go to her?
To kill her?
Answer me.
Answer me! Why did you go to her?
I had no other choice.
I'm not going to stop now.
Not until I kill Nadia's killer.
Why are you up so early?
I thought you'd sleep in.
I couldn't sleep.
I have a police interview anyway.
I need to confirm the address where I'm staying.
Enough about me.
Why are you up?
Why are you back here?
I got sick of the family home, so I came back to my marital home.
Dad…
kicked me out and fired me.
What happened?
Take a closer look.
I don't know him.
Okay.
This man was also staying at the hotel. He was murdered yesterday.
At the scene, we also found the body of the apprentice
of the guy killed in your room.
-What does that have to do with me? -Good point.
It might not be directly related to you.
But the last call to this man's phone
was from your father, Mr. Yassin Ezzeddin,
so I think there's a connection.
Well, that's a question for my father.
MOHAMMED ABUL-GHEIT DEPUTY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR
Mona!
What did you tell them?
Nothing.
But I know you killed Nadia.
Yassin Ezzeddin!
I already told you that I've never met him before.
Besides, is this an interrogation?
Do I need to call my lawyer?
We're not accusing you of anything.
At least not for now.
But we'd like to know how you happened
to be the last person to call the victim?
To hire him as a security manager for my factories and companies.
Given his previous experience in security.
So, you were calling him late at night
for that reason?
Yes.
Right. Okay.
We have no further questions.
You may leave, sir.
However, you can't leave the country until the investigation is over.
I want to see you, Yehia.
I'll tell you everything.
Did you know why Mona hasn't spoken to me all these years?
You knew why,
even though we've discussed this a hundred times?
Because she thinks I'm the killer?
Who does that?
You must tell her immediately.
Immediately!
I can't.
Then I will.
I won't carry this burden alone.
I didn't kill Nadia.
It was Yassin.
Nadia!
My father.
I didn't want Nadia to dive that day. I was scared for her.
Diving is too dangerous for you.
Tell them you're not feeling well.
Why don't you all quit telling me what to do?
Besides, what is this?
You're a friend who's worried about me now?
Sorry, Nadia. I don't understand. Aren't we friends?
Who do you mean by "you all"?
Your family. Your mom, your dad, all of you.
You're all lying to hide your dirt, and you're ganging up on me!
What dirt, Nadia?
Your mom is cheating on your dad, and your dad's turning a blind eye.
Shut up! You're a liar!
I'm not a liar, Mona. You're a filthy family.
I never imagined she'd talk to me like that.
I wanted to tell her she was lying.
But I was afraid that what she said was true.
It felt like a blow to the head.
I asked how long the dive would be.
How long will you guys be diving?
Like last time.
I couldn't wait until we were done.
I took the boat and went back.
Why did you leave?
I had to ask Mom.
I had to hear it from her.
That girl is a liar, and she's trouble.
She wants to turn you all against me.
I had a feeling she was lying,
but I didn't call her out.
We heard the fuss.
We heard the rescue siren and rushed down.
I saw you holding Nadia's body.
It's your fault!
You were all yelling and fighting,
and I couldn't believe she was lying dead before me.
I stayed awake.
I couldn't sleep all night.
I heard a noise and looked out the window.
I saw Dad
burying something in the garden.
Once he left, I went down there.
He was burying my Swiss Army knife.
I knew then he was involved in Nadia's death.
I held onto the knife, but I didn't know what to do.
Like someone with incriminating evidence with no choice but to hide it.
-You must've imagined it. -No, I'm sure of it.
I found the knife.
Don't say that ever again.
Don't we have enough problems?
Your sister's hospitalized,
and your brother's caught up in a case we can't handle.
Saying that
could screw us all.
You understand?
Why not tell me back then?
I did.
When I saw you at the prosecutor's office.
Was that all you could do?
There was a trial.
And a criminal case.
A kid whose sister had died…
his life was wasted.
-I'm sorry. -Too late.
-I'm sorry! -Too late.
Why did you listen to them?
Why?
Why submit to them?
Didn't I tell you not to?
No one ever loved me but you.
I could never love anyone else.
You were so many firsts in my life.
Every day, I wonder…
if none of that had ever happened…
what would our fate have been?
Would we still be together?
But I made a mistake.
I should've told the truth.
That my father was the one who killed my friend.
Even if I'd have lost my family,
I should've told the truth.
But I didn't know what to do, so I ran.
I walked away from it all, until you returned.
But you came back…
dragging Layla along.
What for, Yehia?
Is that part of your plan for revenge?
No.
What do you want with Layla then?
Nothing. I didn't hurt her.
You just told me everything I need to know.
No one should take the fall for him.
He's behind everything that's happened…
and is still happening.
Where have you been all day?
Why is your phone off?
I was with Ali this morning.
Then I went somewhere.
Yehia was with you yesterday.
His friend was the one killed.
Why did you hide it from me?
I'm not in the mood to explain.
Seriously?
You're not in the mood?
Why did you come back, Mona?
Are you worried Yehia might hurt me or that I'm with Yehia?
What? Have you lost your mind?
Ali told me about your past.
Don't lie.
Do you even know what we're up against?
Yehia came to me yesterday thinking I killed Nadia!
He found me thanks to you!
He almost killed me because of you!
And you're questioning me?
It doesn't matter anymore.
Everybody knows now.
I'm leaving. Do whatever you want.
What do you mean "everybody knows"?
-You told Yehia? -I told Yehia.
-About Dad? -He had to know!
-How could you? -He almost killed me yesterday!
Just like he almost killed Ali.
What… What were you thinking?
What's this all about?
Who are you protecting?
Your father?
Are you worried about him?
The man who never worried about us?
Tell me something.
How would you have felt if I'd died yesterday?
Mom is outside.
We need to discuss a decision we've made.
Yassin has become a danger to us.
He has harmed each one of us.
But enough is enough.
It's time for him to step down from everything.
But why now?
I told you 15 years ago that he killed Nadia.
Has it only just sunk in that he's a threat to us?
I couldn't do anything back then.
That's why I told you to keep quiet.
Everything was falling apart.
Your brother, Ali, was under arrest.
And Layla was sick.
If you had talked back then,
our whole life would've fallen apart.
But why are you talking now?
Because that's it.
Now that this has come up again,
the only option is for Yassin to step back from everything.
What do you mean?
Yes, sir. There's no problem at all.
Well…
why did they call me to the prosecutor's office again then?
They found calls between you and him in his latest phone records.
This is just standard procedure. It's no problem.
The question is,
if you have any connection to him other than what you've told me,
I need to know about it to avoid surprises tomorrow.
No. There's nothing.
Okay, Mr. Yassin.
I will go with you tomorrow to wrap up the investigation.
Now what?
You dragged him here to mediate for him?
We'll only take five minutes of your time.
Five minutes?
Did your precious son mention the heinous thing he did?
Your son has been helping Yehia.
That's not true.
I've said everything I have to say to you.
Take your mommy and go home, squirt.
Talk to me, Yassin.
I'm not here to mediate for Ali.
Nor to fight, of course.
We're here as partners, shareholders, and members of the board.
Actually,
over the past couple of days, we've talked to all the board members
who are shareholders, of course,
starting with us. The four of us.
Me, Mom, Mona, and Layla.
We've all agreed Ali is the best one to run the company right now.
Layla?
Layla.
All of us.
And you're on your own.
Yassin, let's settle this gracefully.
Hand over the company's administration to Ali,
and rest for a while.
Step away.
You could travel.
That would be best for all of us.
You want me to give it up?
To him?
It looks like you've all lost your minds.
Especially you, Sawsan. Think carefully about what you're saying.
I did.
And this is the only option.
This is the only option.
Believe me.
Let's do this gracefully.
No fuss.
Otherwise,
we'll have to show the police,
and inform
the members of the board,
about this.
Now, tell me.
What will you say to them
when they find out you've met with this man?
When we testify against you, and say that you hired this man to kill?
And that the man who was killed at Mona's hotel,
was killed on your instruction?
What will you tell them,
Dad?
If you do what you're thinking about,
you're going to pay dearly.
He'll be done in a minute.
Yassin.
Already having second thoughts?
I knew you were smart enough not to expose yourself.
Enough, Yassin.
Do you think anyone would believe you if you said I killed Nadia?
I'll say you threatened me to stay silent.
And that this is your revenge for what just happened upstairs.
Who are they going to believe?
Let's not do this to our kids.
You're telling me you're doing this for the kids?
Yes.
Let's both distance ourselves from them.
Accept what I told you to do, and leave.
That'll never happen.
If you want war…
We'll see who wins.
Hey, Layla.
