1
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,080
[man] God bless you.
A very warm welcome, Qassar.

2
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,640
Now you know the place. Come anytime.

3
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:13,640
Congratulations. God bless.

4
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:15,360
[Khawlah] This was a gift
from Mama Habiba.

5
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,520
-Today, I'm giving it to you.
-Now I'm ready.

6
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,480
-Hurry up. We're late.
-[man] A man is coming to see you.

7
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:23,800
Munira, meet Qassar, my friend.

8
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:26,880
[Qassar chuckles]

9
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:31,000
[man] You're 33 years old.
You can't stay single.

10
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,080
[tense music playing]

11
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,600
[man] The family carries a burden
till you're married.

12
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,400
[mysterious music playing]

13
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,120
[theme music playing]

14
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:36,680
[curious music playing]

15
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,440
I like this one.

16
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,960
But I still want
to change it a little bit.

17
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,040
I want some character.

18
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,840
And use this color in it.

19
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,440
Wow! How I love these colors!

20
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,280
Do you know who else picked them?
Hind Rostom.

21
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,400
And all the pictures
are in this look book.

22
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,840
I'll give it to you,
but please don't rip it up or lose it.

23
00:02:12,920 --> 00:02:14,240
Here you go.

24
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:16,640
[door opens]

25
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:25,080
I heard you have company.

26
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,560
This is the decorator, Laila Botros.

27
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,360
I'm going to redecorate.

28
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:30,760
Decorator?

29
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,800
I will change the furniture and the paint.

30
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,720
Honestly, I need something new.

31
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,560
Did you forget that we just
helped you buy a new car?

32
00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:44,560
And even this bedroom,
we renovated it not long ago.

33
00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:46,080
Five years ago.

34
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,160
And who's we? You did that.

35
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,480
You changed it to suit your taste
without even asking me.

36
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,160
And you put up
this nightmare of a painting.

37
00:02:56,640 --> 00:02:59,280
This thing.
I want you to throw this outside.

38
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:03,520
I don't like horses,
but everyday I have to look at them

39
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,720
and think of their stench.

40
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,120
Ahmad? Ahmad?

41
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:09,720
-[Ahmad] What?
-Ahmad, come here.

42
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,880
-[Ahmad] Huh?
-[Khawlah] Come see your daughter.

43
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,960
She wants to redecorate her bedroom,
and she hired a contractor.

44
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:17,560
Contractor?

45
00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:19,240
She's not a contractor.

46
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,680
Laila is a decorator.
I told you about her weeks ago.

47
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,880
We're not in a construction site.

48
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,440
You've set up a workshop in here.

49
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,800
Why all the hassle?

50
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:31,960
I've already started.

51
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,240
And I can't stop now
and leave it like this.

52
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,680
And don't worry, Dad.
I'll pay all the expenses myself.

53
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,120
Believe me, this is going
to make me feel so much better.

54
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:44,400
I'll be happier.

55
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:45,840
This is my space,

56
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,720
the one place
where I can actually have a say.

57
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,280
[sighs] This is… my house.

58
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,000
I don't understand why
you're turning everything upside down.

59
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,200
What for?

60
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,000
Qassar wants to get married quickly.

61
00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:27,480
HIND ROSTOM CHALET - HER SECRET HIDEOUT

62
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,520
[Munira thinking] I wish
I was like Hind Rostom.

63
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,280
Juju, it's just a few hours a week.

64
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,320
You never know.
You may enjoy working after all.

65
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,400
Forced into child labor. And why?

66
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:48,400
Because my legal guardian
wasted money on a fancy car.

67
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:49,360
[sighs]

68
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,560
I told you the car is an investment.

69
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,640
I can ride it to get me to work.

70
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,280
And Tarabesque is another investment.

71
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,760
Everyone should invest in their future.

72
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,840
Horse riding is my investment.
I have a championship.

73
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,240
I'm confident you'll do great at the job
and the championship

74
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,000
and keep your grades up.

75
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,080
Don't ever underestimate yourself.

76
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,960
[Umish singing in Arabic]

77
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,360
OPENING SOON - TARABESQUE RECORDINGS

78
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,440
[uplifting music playing]

79
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:31,920
[door opens]

80
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,360
[Umish continues singing]

81
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:42,480
[Umish] Oh, Jude!

82
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,520
-The place looks terrible.
-Hush.

83
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,920
Miss Farida, welcome to the Tarabesque.

84
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,520
This is Jude.

85
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,000
She's so excited to work with you.
[chuckles]

86
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:54,160
[Umish] I'm very glad.

87
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,280
We have a lot of work
before the grand opening.

88
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,120
[Farida] True.
There's much to do before the opening.

89
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:01,640
You think we can pull it off?

90
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,920
[Umish] I can do a lot
with the little one.

91
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,120
[Farida chuckles]

92
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,480
Is this what we're selling?

93
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,760
No, there is a shipment.

94
00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:12,600
We are sticking together.

95
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,040
I'll drop her off after school, okay?

96
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:17,280
Put her to work, huh?

97
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:18,560
With pleasure.

98
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:21,920
Thank you, Umish.

99
00:06:28,280 --> 00:06:30,160
[tense music playing]

100
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:34,960
What's wrong?

101
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,840
You choked on your dinner
last night with Sabiha?

102
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:42,680
Now that the valuation's set,
we need to find an anchor investor.

103
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,840
[Rakan] It would be great
if we find an anchor investor

104
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,480
before our debut
at the Cairo Investors' Summit next week.

105
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,520
I agree.
It's why we started meetings right away.

106
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,280
Munira, some details?

107
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,400
Mishari scheduled a meeting for you
with two investment firms

108
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,200
and one with a mutual fund this week.

109
00:07:01,280 --> 00:07:02,280
That's good.

110
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:03,960
But there's something we must do.

111
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,320
We have to meet
this afternoon with Najm Capital.

112
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:08,920
They'll surely do well in Cairo.

113
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,000
I hear you know one of their managers.

114
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,480
Yes, Imad Dawas, my brother's friend.

115
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,600
He's being appointed as a manager there.

116
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,840
Then let Munira attend the meeting,
since she knows him personally.

117
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,960
And what about the order of business
that's not on the agenda? Hmm?

118
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,840
We all know how market dynamics
could drag down the IPO.

119
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,400
That's why I assigned a team in trading
to drive up the real estate value

120
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,240
while they search
for the perfect anchor investor.

121
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:41,360
I get that raising the real estate prices
can make investors trust in Alpha,

122
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,280
but how will you lift
the price of an entire sector?

123
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,200
By driving up our rival's price,
Balad Group.

124
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,680
Regarding the trading desk,
Farida has some news.

125
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:54,880
Yes.

126
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:05,320
I decided to step away from the IPO
so I can, uh…

127
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,880
I can focus my attention on trading.
It's what I do best.

128
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:15,120
And of course, I will support
the IPO from the pit whenever I can.

129
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,360
I'm surprised, Farida.
Are you sure that this is what you want?

130
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,160
[Amir] I'm afraid she insists.

131
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,120
I tried to talk her out of it,
but it's her choice.

132
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,360
And I respect that.

133
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:30,680
Okay.

134
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:33,640
Now how about we…

135
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:34,760
You can go.

136
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:36,320
Okay.

137
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,840
[Rakan] There are undiscussed topics.
Let's go through them.

138
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,680
[tense music swells]

139
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,160
-[door closes]
-[footsteps approaching]

140
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:54,760
[grunts]

141
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,040
What are you doing?

142
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,000
Of course, you'd chase me down.

143
00:08:58,560 --> 00:09:00,280
You're quitting the IPO, Farida?

144
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,440
I quit. It's done.

145
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,120
Why? What happened?

146
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,440
I just did it. It's over with already.
I don't have to explain.

147
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,040
But why didn't you come and tell me first?

148
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:13,360
[chuckles]

149
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:18,400
Yeah, because everything
is always about you, isn't it?

150
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,440
It's over, Munira. It's done.

151
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,320
You win.

152
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,640
You always win.

153
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:27,840
What's wrong with you?

154
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:33,040
We are partners on this project,
and we will work together.

155
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:34,200
Really?

156
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,360
Oh, I thought that

157
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:41,160
I work for you, around you,
and against you most of the time,

158
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,480
but we work together?

159
00:09:43,560 --> 00:09:45,720
Yeah, when you needed 1,000 dinars.

160
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,640
Baby! Such a baby!

161
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,480
And always playing the victim.

162
00:09:49,560 --> 00:09:53,320
Farida, I'm dealing with
a lot of problems at home,

163
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:54,960
and I can't take it any longer.

164
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,200
I haven't told you.

165
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,720
I haven't told you that

166
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:07,960
my parents… [sighs]

167
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:13,840
[mocking] My mom and dad, they bought me
a new car, but I don't like its color.

168
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:15,840
-Enough.
-[scoffs]

169
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,360
[Farida] Enough, please,
because I've had it.

170
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,960
I'm sick of hearing all of your nonsense.

171
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,640
I have problems at home, real ones.

172
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,520
It seems like
problems follow you everywhere.

173
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,000
Even at work.

174
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:36,120
[door opens]

00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,520
ALPHA - FAILAKA

177
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,000
Hey, look who came back
to her old place again.

178
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:48,520
The one enslaving kids.

179
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:49,720
The woman who, uh…

180
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,520
The one who's back to working with idiots.

181
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:54,760
The road ahead of you is long.

182
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,880
Like Tarabesque, just starting.

183
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,320
All right, Mr. Tarabesque.

184
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:00,400
[Hasan] Mmm.

185
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,280
[sighs] So, what will we do?

186
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:05,680
-[Farida squeals]
-[overlapping chatter]

187
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,120
Didn't you get rid of it?

188
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,680
It got into the building days ago
and never left.

189
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,480
Mashallah! My desk's its nest?

190
00:11:15,560 --> 00:11:19,160
-Opportunity makes the thief.
-[Hasan exhales]

191
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:20,800
-Guys.
-[Hasan] Hmm?

192
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,840
Can we talk about Balad Group?

193
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:25,840
Yes, sure.

194
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:27,520
Amir came this morning

195
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,480
and said that we must raise their stock.

196
00:11:30,560 --> 00:11:34,760
And since you just came back
as an active member in the group,

197
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,480
we're going to need your help,
Queen of Math.

198
00:11:37,560 --> 00:11:39,520
Oh. Will you help us?

199
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:40,960
I'm betting on you.

200
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,560
That's why it hasn't flown away.

201
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,400
Poor thing, it's injured.

202
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,960
-[Farida] Come here.
-Mother's instinct.

203
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:16,720
I need a word.

204
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:19,640
Fine.

205
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,960
I was just thinking about
our pitch to Najm Capital.

206
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:24,480
Don't think too hard.

207
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,480
We won't pitch to Najm Capital.

208
00:12:27,560 --> 00:12:30,200
You're just a connection,
as you know Imad very well.

209
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:32,680
Mom and I will do the talking. Understood?

210
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:35,120
Yeah, sure.

211
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,360
Don't you want to tell me what to wear?

212
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,000
[Sabiha] Good. Good.

213
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,400
I'm glad you're here.

214
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,560
I was going to call you both,

215
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,160
but here you are together already.

216
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,760
We're discussing
how to approach Najm Capital.

217
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,240
You mean, who'll approach them.

218
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:54,160
[Rakan laughs]

219
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,080
Be nice to her.

220
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:02,280
Farida stepped down,
so you two will work together closely.

221
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,720
And I'm confident
that you'll make a great team.

222
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:08,640
[speaking French]

223
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:15,920
-Hassan?
-[Hasan] Hmm?

224
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,920
The stocks of, uh, Balad Group
are at rock bottom. No one is buying them.

225
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:21,880
I know.

226
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,840
Let's be smart and raise the stock.

227
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,000
What about a wash trade?

228
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:29,280
What's a wash trade?

229
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,120
Put the patient away, if you please.
We'll talk business.

230
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:33,200
Let's see,

231
00:13:34,560 --> 00:13:37,080
[cooing]

232
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,320
Go on. Shoot.

233
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,200
I'll explain it simply.

234
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,720
When Farida goes to buy a stock,
she buys four.

235
00:13:46,560 --> 00:13:50,640
The others will think,
"Oh! Farida must like biscuits."

236
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:51,560
Hmm.

237
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,600
Now imagine this.
You go to the broker and buy a biscuit.

238
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:57,720
Then two.

239
00:13:58,440 --> 00:13:59,480
Then three.

240
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:01,160
Then four.

241
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,840
What does the broker do next?
He buys them back.

242
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,760
You do what? You buy them again.

243
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,720
Then repeat once, twice, thrice
till the stock goes…

244
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,080
[whistles] …up.

245
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:18,240
Then people will think
the real estate sector's in demand.

246
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,280
You devils.

247
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,480
[tutting]

248
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,480
Do you happen to have any better ideas?

249
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:26,480
[man] Mr. Saud!

250
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,560
-[Saud] Hello! Great to see you.
-[man] Welcome back!

251
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,160
-Hi. How are you?
-Welcome.

252
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,000
Thanks. How are you doing? Missed you all.

253
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,640
-Hello. Haven't seen you at the hospital.
-[man 2] Hello.

254
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,920
-[man 3] Welcome back, Mr. Saud.
-[Saud] Hello, guys. God bless you.

255
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:40,720
[laughs]

256
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,480
Thank you, guys. Thank you.

257
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,080
Sorry, I didn't see you.

258
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:45,600
Hello. Hello, guys.

259
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,000
God bless you. God bless you.

260
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,400
Abu Sadiq, how have you been?
How are you, guys?

261
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:07,640
[disco music playing]

262
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,520
You must bear in mind
that anchoring this IPO

263
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:51,160
will make you a cornerstone
of a major development

264
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,800
that will echo through the entire Gulf.

265
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,240
We consider it not just an honor,
but our duty as Kuwaitis,

266
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,800
to build our future
and link it to the past at the same time.

267
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:02,440
We hope that Najm Capital

268
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:04,640
becomes an integral part

269
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:06,400
of this project.

270
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,440
Great. Great. Great.

271
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,720
The venture is noble and lucrative.

272
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,680
27%.

273
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,600
If you read the data on page…

274
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:22,800
-Eleven.
-Page 11.

275
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:24,520
You spoke at last.

276
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,320
As a kid, you would never shut up.

277
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,040
[all chuckle]

278
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,920
[Rakan] God bless you.
It's been a pleasure. Goodbye.

279
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,440
We did well together, didn't we?

280
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:42,280
I did.

281
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:44,760
I'm the one doing well.

282
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:46,320
Period.

283
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,360
-Nice work, Imad.
-Thank you.

284
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,760
You did great. Nice work.

285
00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:58,720
Thank you.

286
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,000
And since you're a family friend,
let me ask you…

287
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,920
Hmm, well, what's your take?

288
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:06,560
Mmm. You want the truth?

289
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,120
-Alpha is impressive.
-[Munira] Mm-hmm.

290
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,160
And Failaka project, it stands out.

291
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:11,920
And what do you think of, uh…

292
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,520
-Rakan?
-[Munira] Mm-hmm.

293
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,680
Rakan's crazy. Mmm, different.

294
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:17,080
Yes.

295
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:18,880
He's different.

296
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:20,280
But I find him clever.

297
00:17:20,360 --> 00:17:22,000
I wouldn't underestimate him.

298
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,920
As a family friend, I won't let you wait.

299
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,120
Thank you. And I owe you one for sure.

300
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,000
I won't forget to tell Jassem
that you said hi.

301
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,920
No need.
We're meeting at his place after work.

302
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:33,960
Ah, at our place?

303
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,080
No, at his flat in Deira.

304
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,240
[chuckles] Yes, his flat in Deira.

305
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:40,640
-[Imad] Deira.
-Yeah, yeah.

306
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,560
-[Imad] See you.
-See you. His flat in Deira.

307
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,400
Ugh, Jassem. Ugh.

308
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:52,920
[dramatic music playing on TV]

309
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,080
Our girls have arrived.

310
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,600
You look like you've had a long day.
You look tired.

311
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,080
My feet hurt, and my nose is blocked.

312
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:05,880
Has that ever happened to you, Baba Adeeb?

313
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:10,560
My dear girl, till now,
there's newspaper ink under my fingernails

314
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:11,920
for 30 years.

315
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,240
Believe me, I've tried, but to no avail.

316
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:18,840
Dad, Juju helped Umish inventory
the entire shop.

317
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,040
She outworked us all.

318
00:18:25,360 --> 00:18:27,560
Juju, thank you so much for today.

319
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:32,360
Maybe you can't see it now,
but now you're helping us grow.

320
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,680
If the shop does well, we all do well.

321
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,280
If you become rich,
you must take us on vacation.

322
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:43,520
Whoa. Enough about the vacation
already, Mom. I got it.

323
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,960
I mean, it's just
that all of your life savings

324
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:48,440
you spent on that shop.

325
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,240
Okay, enough! Enough! Huh.

326
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,000
-[in Arabic] Does it look good on my neck?
-Does that mean you'll take it?

327
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:57,800
[woman] But it looks vulgar.

328
00:18:58,320 --> 00:18:59,520
[man] Answer me.

329
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:04,280
[in English] By the way,
your father is meeting Qassar again.

330
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,160
This time, I think he'll propose.

331
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:08,800
[woman in Arabic] Go find another woman!

332
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,600
[in English] Shouldn't I be present?

333
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:12,760
Really? You want to?

334
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,280
Tell Dad I want to be there when he comes

335
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,560
to talk about all my demands.

336
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,680
[Khawlah] Hello. Hello, my dear son.

337
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,640
-Hi, Mom.
-[Khawlah] Hi, honey.

338
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,400
Mom, please, I'm starving.

339
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,520
Of course, my dear. Your dinner's ready.

340
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,560
-Anything else?
-No, thank you.

341
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,160
Okay, darlings, have a good night.

342
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:36,440
-Good night.
-Good night.

343
00:19:43,360 --> 00:19:44,480
You met Imad Dawas?

344
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,960
Yes, I was just with him,
but he's happily married

345
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,080
and not looking for a wife. So hands off.

346
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,920
-Will he invest with us?
-Oh yeah! He won't invest.

347
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,080
What, now?!

348
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:58,040
He says Alpha's stocks are high,
and the real estate sector is low.

349
00:19:58,120 --> 00:20:00,840
He says that Najm Capital
is not going to anchor,

350
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,920
because, to them, the risk is too high.

351
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,200
Uh, you didn't say.

352
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:08,520
How's the old groom to be?

353
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:10,600
[Khawlah] Ah, I forgot.

354
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,000
I forgot to take my magazine.

355
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,960
So, brother,
why aren't you at your new flat?

356
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,520
Hard luck.
Mom and dad bought it for me. [chuckles]

357
00:20:34,120 --> 00:20:38,360
I wish I could have changed
Imad's decision, but I'm sorry.

358
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,240
I couldn't change his mind.

359
00:20:42,120 --> 00:20:43,600
[Sabiha] It's not your fault.

360
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:45,280
And bravo to you.

361
00:20:46,360 --> 00:20:48,120
What you did is enough.

362
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,000
Rakan and I both agree on this.

363
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,600
Let's focus on what we can do next.

364
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,880
Fix our outlook by raising Balad's stock.

365
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,520
-Well then?
-This is a question for Farida.

366
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:05,760
Let me check with her.

367
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,640
[Walid] This isn't pigeon food.
You've wasted your money.

368
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,560
I'm no pigeon expert. You do it then.

369
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,800
I don't know,
but we shouldn't feed her like this.

370
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:18,560
A smidgen.

371
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:20,320
-Smidgen?
-[Munira chuckles]

372
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,000
-You really are great with lost causes.
-[pigeon coos]

373
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:30,040
Instead of wasting time on a dying bird,
focus on Balad Group.

374
00:21:30,120 --> 00:21:33,960
-[Walid] Not me.
-Their stocks should be through the roof.

375
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,040
And you, Farida,

376
00:21:38,120 --> 00:21:40,840
didn't you say you'll support
Alpha from your pit?

377
00:21:41,360 --> 00:21:43,200
I hope you'll be a good partner.

378
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,960
For once, try to keep your word.

379
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:56,720
Guys…

380
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:00,760
that's it.

381
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:02,080
Let's go for wash trade.

382
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:03,400
We told you.

383
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,800
Go on. Take matters into your own hands.
Go see Nabil.

384
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:07,960
Nabil?!

385
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:09,720
[Walid] Yeah, Nabil

386
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,960
because he's the only broker
who can cook up the trade.

387
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:14,560
He's sly like a fox.

388
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,120
So go ahead. Go, go, go!

389
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,000
I know that, but come on, guys. Come on.

390
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,160
Don't you think
that he'll be more receptive

391
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,000
if one of you talk to him and not me?

392
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,520
Yeah, but we, uh… we leave early.

393
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:26,560
Both of you?

394
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,080
We have to rehearse
for the opening of Tarabesque.

395
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,160
Oh. [vocalizing]

396
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:33,320
[Farida] Oh. Hmm

397
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,280
[mysterious music playing]

398
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:50,840
Please check the other file.

399
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:08,720
[Nabil] Farida Ma'mun.

400
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,880
It's been a while since we met.

401
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,120
How's the IPO going? The one for Alpha.

402
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,280
Superbly. It's great.

403
00:23:17,360 --> 00:23:19,880
But I'm back to trading
to give it my full attention.

404
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:21,640
So you…

405
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,160
you think you are one of us, huh?

406
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:28,960
I thought maybe you could help us
with a special kind of trading request

407
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:34,400
to boost the price
of a real estate firm like, um,

408
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:35,880
Balad Group.

409
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:43,280
-You mean, uh, a wash trade?
-Yes.

410
00:23:43,360 --> 00:23:45,440
She's really become one of us.

411
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,280
[men chuckle]

412
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,600
[Nabil] In order to do this right,

413
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,600
we need a third party.

414
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:54,520
Okay.

415
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:56,560
Who do you recommend?

416
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,840
Welcome back on the floor.

417
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:05,640
Happy to see you, Saud.

418
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:08,760
Farida.

419
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:12,800
I'm happy to see you too.

420
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,120
And happy to see the bank
hasn't collapsed without me.

421
00:24:18,120 --> 00:24:19,240
You know what?

422
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,720
It's not the same without you.

423
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:23,840
But that doesn't surprise me.

424
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:31,880
We want to do trading for Balad Group.
The high volume type.

425
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,400
So I'm checking if you…

426
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,280
Do you currently have the capacity?

427
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,040
Are you up for it… or not?

428
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,320
Don't tell me you're talking about

429
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:48,440
a wash trade.

430
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:49,880
Farida?

431
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,440
This is not very ethical of you.

432
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,320
You're lecturing me about ethics?

433
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,000
I'm no professor.

434
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,480
[sighs] I'm a portfolio manager

435
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:04,160
trying to rebuild his career from scratch.

436
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,200
But let me understand.

437
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:08,000
You'll buy

438
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,640
large stock volumes of Balad Group.

439
00:25:13,360 --> 00:25:14,840
Why would the bank do this?

440
00:25:16,120 --> 00:25:20,560
To inflate the real estate market?
To attract investors to the IPO?

441
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:21,840
Mm-hmm.

442
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:23,640
A good play.

443
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:25,880
But unfortunately,

444
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:31,640
I can't help the team that abandoned me
and sent me to the hospital.

445
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,760
You're not the only one they left hanging.

446
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,120
Sabiha threw me
from the balcony to the pit,

447
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,160
and Amir didn't bat an eye,
nor did my cousin,

448
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:43,520
who only cares about herself.

449
00:25:44,120 --> 00:25:45,040
[Saud] Mmm.

450
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,000
I need a partner.

451
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,320
We are similar.

452
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,880
-I'll rebuild myself as well.
-I'm sorry for what happened to you.

453
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:59,240
And sorry that I can't help you.
Helping you is helping them.

454
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,680
I can't. This grudge won't let me.

455
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,160
♪ Oh, the hard nights ♪

456
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,680
-♪ How I was hurt ♪
-[sighs]

457
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:15,760
Mishari said you need me.

458
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:16,880
[Amir] Mmm.

459
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:19,600
Pardon me.

460
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:21,280
But I…

461
00:26:22,360 --> 00:26:23,440
I get hungry

462
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:25,560
if things don't go well.

463
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:28,840
And how can I help?

464
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,120
Maybe… if you've any ideas… mmm.

465
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,720
Or maybe you know
a new floor trader who can help.

466
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,120
An acquaintance who could be of help.

467
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,160
You mean Saud Salim?

468
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:45,080
Right.

469
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:46,440
Listen…

470
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,640
I know that right now,
he works with Laith Nasir,

471
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,880
who is an investor
that has deep pockets to support us.

472
00:26:58,360 --> 00:27:02,320
But I can't approach Saud
after what I did to him

473
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,760
that day when I, uh…

474
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:06,800
When you fired him.

475
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:08,800
Yes.

476
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:11,760
How is your relationship with him?

477
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:13,800
Are you two still friendly?

478
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,400
I'm friendly with everyone,

479
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:19,240
right?

480
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:22,200
[bell rings]

481
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,040
-[overlapping chatter]
-[man] What's this?

482
00:27:24,120 --> 00:27:26,360
I need my money! Give me my money!

[clears throat]

487
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:49,760
No one's special to me.

488
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:52,880
Hmm?

489
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:55,360
How's your return been?

490
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:58,280
It's getting better.

491
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:00,960
Thank God you came back to us.

492
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,080
We're all very pleased to have you again.

493
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:04,240
For real?

494
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,640
Why didn't you come see me
at the hospital?

495
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:08,840
[clears throat]

496
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,320
I already broke your heart once.

497
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:21,160
Now that you're back,
let us keep it professional.

498
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:23,040
Indeed.

499
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:25,360
Like boxers

500
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,240
waiting for the knock-out.

501
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:29,280
[chuckles softly]

502
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,160
That's if it's called for.

503
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,920
But some situations
are mutually beneficial.

504
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,160
I don't want these things
to come between us.

505
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:41,840
How nice of you.

506
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:43,320
God bless you.

507
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,160
You know we won
the bid for the IPO of Alpha?

508
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,000
Oh. That's great.

509
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,280
You worked hard on that project. Congrats.

510
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:57,920
Thank you so much.

511
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,280
But I'm sure you have heard
that we still need an anchor investor.

512
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:03,640
Meaning?

513
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,320
Laith Nasir can be just that.

514
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:08,880
Abu Nasir.

515
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:11,840
Sure, he can.

516
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:14,800
And I've got his ear.

517
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,400
But the Bank of Tomorrow
doesn't deserve my effort.

518
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:22,760
And I don't work for you.

519
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:24,840
I just told this to Farida

520
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,120
when she asked me for help
regarding Alpha.

521
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,480
-[Munira chuckles]
-[Saud] Farida's a good businesswoman.

522
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,840
She's clever and better than you.

523
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:33,880
Mmm.

524
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:35,480
Really?

525
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,520
Why am I on the executive floor

526
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:41,720
while you

527
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,480
and Farida are down here?

528
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,240
Some people keep you up,

529
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:51,960
and others drag you down.

530
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,040
If you want to drown your career,

531
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:57,920
be my guest.

532
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:12,760
-[man] I am now purchasing 150 stocks.
-[man 2] Fifty of the stock. Give me 50!

533
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:16,120
-[man] 13,200, the stock's going up.
-[man 3] I need to buy right now!

534
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,920
-[man] 13,200! 13,200.
-[man 4] Please give me 10,000!

535
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,320
Balad Group. I want Balad Group.

536
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,360
-Balad Group!
-[man 4] Sir! Sir! Over here!

537
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,280
You know that's not a fair price.

538
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,440
[man 4] Over here! Look at me!
I wanna buy.

539
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:30,720
-I told you already!
-[man] 13,200!

540
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,040
-[man 4] I told you already I want to buy!
-[man] 13,200!

541
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,440
Thirteen thousand two hundred!

542
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,480
Thirteen thousand two hundred!

543
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,840
I'm in on the wash trade. I'll do it.

544
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:46,160
[man] Two hundred thousand shares left.
Two hundred thousand shares!

545
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:48,080
Listen, Farida.

546
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,400
You know who I work for?

547
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:51,680
Laith Nasir.

548
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:54,760
Mmm. Listen, dear.

549
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:58,160
In this industry,
you have to know one thing.

550
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,320
You have to focus on
all of the power players.

551
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:02,960
You really don't know him?

552
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:04,920
-I really don't.
-[Saud] Mmm.

553
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:06,880
He's a decent guy.

554
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:08,600
And now,

555
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,880
with him, I can redeem myself.

556
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,680
He won't stab me in the back
like Amir did.

557
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:19,400
He also won't watch me die on the floor
and just look the other way,

558
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:20,920
like what happened with Munira.

559
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:25,200
Surely, you understand that helping me
with Balad Group

560
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,000
also means that you're helping the bank.

561
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,080
I'm doing this
because helping you will upset Munira.

562
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,320
And I want to make my boss happy.

563
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,520
You think that if someone is bad,
I'll be bad too? [chuckles]

564
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:38,240
-Try this.
-[chuckles]

565
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:39,880
Mmm. Enjoy.

566
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,440
-[Saud] Yes. What happened after that?
-[Farida] See?

567
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:45,200
I don't want to…

568
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,480
-[Saud laughs]
-[Farida] They want us back.

569
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,000
[chuckles] I don't want
to tell this story.

570
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,640
It fell down. [laughs]

571
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:55,880
Wonderful!

572
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,680
Birds of a feather
crash their careers together.

573
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:01,000
You've become friends now?

574
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:02,520
Yes. We're going to get you.

575
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,480
-[Farida chuckles]
-[Saud laughs]

576
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,160
[Munira laughs mockingly]

577
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,080
Better men tried and failed.

578
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:09,720
[Saud laughs]

579
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:10,840
[Munira sighs]

580
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,000
[mysterious music playing]

581
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,240
Welcome. Welcome. Guys.

582
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,320
Come on in, boys and girls.

583
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:34,800
There's a 10% discount.

584
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:36,400
Welcome. Welcome.

585
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,400
Come on in.
Please. Please be my guest. Come in.

586
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:40,640
[pop music playing]

587
00:32:58,280 --> 00:32:59,240
[Walid] Thank you.

588
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,040
It's been a pleasure. Come again.

589
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,000
Come next week.
We'll have a new collection.

590
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:07,800
-How stingy. He finally gave me 10 dinars.
-Yes, That's great!

591
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,680
We have 70 dinars! 70!

592
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:14,120
Who deserves a golden star is this girl.

593
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:18,200
If only you could work more hours,
we would double your mom's money.

594
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,080
-A thousand dinars?
-Mm-hmm.

595
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:23,360
And if I worked more?

596
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:24,600
And school?

597
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,560
-Let me take some tapes home.
-All right.

598
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:36,520
-And I…
-[Hasan] Mm-hmm.

599
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:38,120
…can sell them my way.

600
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,240
[Hasan] Ah, I like the idea.

601
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:43,400
Sell the whole bag,
you'll get 5% commission.

602
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:45,320
7%.

603
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:46,280
[groans]

604
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:47,680
[Walid gasps]

605
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:48,600
10%.

606
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:49,960
[groans]

607
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:50,920
Umish!

608
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,400
[in Arabic] And after a year,
will I starve to death?

609
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,680
Steal? Beg? What should I do?

610
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:06,360
I could have handled it if I were younger,
but my age doesn't allow it…

611
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:10,600
[in English] When did you come back?

612
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,440
I hear the opening was a success.

613
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:15,920
Yes, we sold a lot.

614
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:17,360
Good for you, right?

615
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:19,680
Good for us. Us, dear.

616
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:21,440
So…

617
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:25,400
I got you this.

618
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:26,600
[Jude chuckles]

619
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,920
Those are from me to start you off.
And this too.

620
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:34,000
How much does it hold?

621
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:35,320
No idea.

622
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,080
You tell me when you fill it up.

623
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:41,440
[squeals]

624
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:42,520
[chuckles]

625
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,600
[humming]

626
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:52,000
[in Arabic] …the homeowners
would never have abandoned me at my age.

627
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:02,160
[in English] You need more? Have more?

628
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,080
Munira, have breakfast.

629
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,080
You didn't eat with us last night.

630
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:14,400
I ate at the office.

631
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:18,000
I will take this.

632
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:23,520
I heard you want to be here
when Qassar comes.

633
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,600
But let me talk to him first.

634
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:28,480
All right, Dad.

635
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,040
[upbeat music playing]

636
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:36,640
[bell rings]

637
00:35:36,720 --> 00:35:38,920
-[Khalifa laughs]
-Oh yeah! Yes!

638
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,200
-The stocks went up.
-[Khalifa] Finally!

639
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,440
Why is this clown celebrating?

640
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:45,160
He knows the trade's been rigged.

641
00:35:45,240 --> 00:35:46,880
-High five!
-[laughs]

642
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,120
I knew Balad Group stock
would go up today.

643
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:53,240
[Saud] We did it, my friend.

644
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:55,840
-What a comeback!
-Yeah, I don't waste time.

645
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:57,120
I really don't.

646
00:35:57,720 --> 00:36:00,600
-Can you believe it?
-Great! It's only the beginning.

647
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:01,840
I agree.

648
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:03,400
Hi. Hi! God bless you.

649
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:04,520
Welcome. Welcome.

650
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,240
I'm surprised.
I didn't know you would be celebrating.

651
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,080
-[chuckles] Welcome.
-Hello.

652
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:11,360
Such a pleasure.

653
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,280
Is this what you do
every time the bell rings?

654
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:14,360
-Hello, Abu Nasir.
-Hello.

655
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:18,560
My dear, you won.
I won. Fajr Holding won. Congrats!

656
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:19,480
Thanks to you.

657
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:21,240
-Come. I'll show you around.
-Okay.

658
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:22,200
Come.

659
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:27,440
So this is the booth, huh?

660
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:29,600
This is our booth, so, uh…

661
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:31,440
-You see?
-What?

662
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:33,680
-They seem very pleased.
-Indeed.

663
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:39,440
[Saud] Abu Nasir,
meet the Bank of Tomorrow soldiers.

664
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,760
-My old tribe. [chuckles]
-Uh-huh.

665
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:43,760
Hassan and Waleed are traders.

666
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,800
-Hello. Hello! Nice to meet you.
-The pleasure's ours.

667
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:48,680
-Nice to meet you.
-A pleasure meeting you.

668
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:50,080
Farida, their clerk.

669
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,120
They're the top team in the exchange.

670
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:54,480
Second to us, of course.

671
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,560
-[Walid] Come on!
-Come on! You're too kind.

672
00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:59,320
[chuckles] Tell me…

673
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:08,560
Congrats on the win.
Not bad for your first week.

674
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,760
Your first time here or, uh,

675
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,840
do you have any other business here?

676
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:23,720
[sighs]

677
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:27,160
What do we have here?

678
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:31,360
Raising pigeons while making millions?

679
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:33,800
I found it injured, and it couldn't fly.

680
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:36,120
It won't eat or drink.

681
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:38,640
Can't help the little guy.

682
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,080
This is a little girl, actually.

683
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,920
I… raise birds.

684
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:47,240
I know them well.

685
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:50,880
May I take her home with me

686
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:52,600
to treat her?

687
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,080
[bird coos]

688
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:02,920
You asked me if it's my first time
at the exchange?

689
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:05,800
-Yes, that's right.
-[chuckles] Please.

690
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,320
I used to come here before,

691
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,640
but not as a… as a stakeholder.

692
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:18,960
And now, I have to understand
my partner well in business.

693
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,760
Bank of Tomorrow?
What's new in the Bank of Tomorrow?

694
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:31,200
Uh, our full focus now
is the IPO of Alpha.

695
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,760
Yeah, I hear that they're going public.

696
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:35,000
[Farida] That's right.

697
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,840
A tough sell,
given the real estate sector.

698
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:41,640
No, I think the real estate sector
is bouncing back.

699
00:38:41,720 --> 00:38:43,160
Look at Balad Group.

700
00:38:43,240 --> 00:38:46,000
And Alpha got a good contract.

701
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:49,360
-You mean Failaka?
-Yes.

702
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:53,600
[chuckles] You know,
I have a friend buzzing about this.

703
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,440
-Hey, Saud.
-Yes?

704
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:01,240
Uh, I wonder if they're
still looking for an investor.

705
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:02,720
[Farida chuckles] Right now,

706
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:06,440
our top priority
is finding an anchor investor.

707
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:07,360
[Laith] Mm-hmm.

708
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:11,320
Many suitors, but we still haven't found

709
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:12,880
the one.

710
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,480
You're great! You know so much.
Bless you. [chuckles]

711
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:17,680
-And you're just a junior clerk?
-[Farida chuckles]

712
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:22,600
No, I do clerical duties
as a favor to the traders.

713
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:27,440
But I was picked
to be on the IPO team, huh? [chuckles]

714
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:29,040
Um, anyway,

715
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:33,080
if you're really interested,
I'll set up a meeting.

716
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,200
I'm very interested.

717
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:37,800
-Okay.
-See you later.

718
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,040
I hope it's a match.

719
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:41,480
[Laith] Good luck.

720
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:43,720
DILIGENCE SURPASSES TALENT

721
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:45,800
[Mays] What is that? What's in your bag?

722
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:49,880
Mays, which bands do you like?

723
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:51,640
Like what?

724
00:39:51,720 --> 00:39:52,600
Hairbands?

725
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:56,480
Or… like Whitesnake,

726
00:39:56,560 --> 00:40:00,600
Bon Jovi, Poison, or Def Leppard?

727
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:02,840
[uplifting music playing]

728
00:40:09,720 --> 00:40:11,600
Who wants Miami?

729
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:12,680
[girl] Me!

730
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:14,520
[overlapping chatter]

731
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,200
-[girl] Me! Me! Me!
-[girl 2] Me! Me!

732
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:18,320
[girl 3] Jude!

733
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:20,040
[overlapping chatter]

734
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:21,920
[girl] I want it! I want it!

735
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:36,200
Nothing makes me angrier
than someone taking credit for my work.

736
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:46,160
I'm sure your words influenced
Saud to join the Balad Group trade.

737
00:40:46,240 --> 00:40:47,320
But, sadly

738
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:50,880
Farida benefits. [scoffs]

739
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:54,240
Not the first time.

740
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,760
If they're coming on board as an anchor,

741
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,840
I would love to learn more
about Laith and Saud.

742
00:40:59,920 --> 00:41:02,000
I'm not familiar with how they work.

743
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:04,680
Care to bring me up to speed over dinner?

744
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:05,640
[clears throat]

745
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:07,920
[scoffs] We work together.

746
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,200
So it would help us
if we become more acquainted,

747
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,040
especially before we go to Cairo.

748
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:13,120
Hmm.

749
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:17,320
-Tonight?
-Sorry, I'm not hungry.

750
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:19,600
Then have a salad.

751
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:22,080
I'll do that at home.

752
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:24,920
Mom said I have skipped dinner many times.

753
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,160
I promised her to have dinner
with them tonight.

754
00:41:28,240 --> 00:41:29,200
Next time, then.

755
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:37,080
[sighs]

756
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:39,480
-It will work.
-[Farida moans]

757
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:41,080
Farida.

758
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:43,000
A moment, please.

759
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:49,240
We got a call from Saud
to confirm that Laith

760
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:51,400
is interested in Alpha.

761
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,560
And according to Saud,
you were the one who convinced him.

762
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:56,080
How?

763
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:58,080
-He didn't say.
-[Amir chuckles]

764
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:04,080
Laith and Saud want us to meet
at the Investors' Summit in Cairo.

765
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:05,960
You didn't just raise

766
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:08,840
the real estate sector
on the trading floor, Farida.

767
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,440
You may have just found us
an anchor investor

768
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:14,320
for the IPO.

769
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:15,720
Frankly,

770
00:42:16,720 --> 00:42:18,000
quite an achievement.

771
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:22,640
However, before the team flies for Cairo,

772
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:26,240
I think it's very necessary

773
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:31,280
that Farida brings her energy back
to IPO meetings.

774
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:36,160
Fair enough.

775
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:40,040
[dramatic music playing]

776
00:42:49,240 --> 00:42:51,240
[dramatic music intensifies]
