What made you so perfect all of a sudden? Since when do you have a job? Since now! From when the old man told me he'll take everything from me if I didn't. Which means I represent the family name now. I have to think about more than just myself. That's all I do? Just think about myself? Stop the car! - I just... - Stop the car! Khalfan!

Don't argue, you were seen! Give me the keys I said! I need to put an end to this spoiled irresponsibility! Faisal I don't know why you humiliate me like this. In the mosque people ask of you "Where is your son? Why is he not at prayer?" Tell me what to tell them. I'm sorry father. Sometimes... I feel you're a complete stranger to me. Even though we have the same blood running through our veins. I'm tired... of trying to put you in the best clothes and in the best car. But I won't accept you mining everything I have built! Do you think I grew up like this with ease? No Faisal! No! This is not the example I set for you. You are an embarrassment to all Emirati's! Where... Where is your compassion and sense of pride? If your mother, God rest her soul, were still alive... she would be ashamed of your behaviour. Raj sh'? Mr. Raj? Mr. Raj my name is Basu. Sir, Mr. Khan sent me. Mr. Khan? Babu You...can you sing? I've been practicing for ten years sir. Okay Babu, take him to get ready. You are on the show, 11 o'clock. Thank you sir Come on... quickly! What's this boss? It's a changing room. To survive in this field you need talent. Who's this? It's Govinda. You'll learn. Here, all the money is in tips and only myself and Raj decides who gets it. Come on, it's your turn. What song do you want to play? The "lkhtiyar" one... The Peter Patel one, right? Bloody carbon copy, come on! - Mr. Rashid - How are you? - Mr. Faisal - So nice to see you again Please come with me, your table is ready. 'In! Champagne? Just a glass, I've got a flight tomorrow. - It's the usual Mr. Berger The usual? Well you know, I get dragged here from time to time... Clients. This is to you... I swear your face is going to win us the account. More like the make-up artist will. Look, will you just take some credit? Okay, they're making commercials here all the time. The phones have been ringing off the hook. Think about it, it could be a new start for you, you know, a whole new life. I don't know if that's for me. But it was good fun the other day. And you were brilliant! I'm not twenty anymore. The airline pays well and it's secure and I really like my job. You are frustrating. Olga, my flat mate. This is Guy. Nice to meet you. Likewise Can I borrow her for moment? Bring her back Maybe Who's that? A friend - Just a friend - Just a friend. I know that type of friend. I love the way we kill ourselves trying to get you out and all he needs to do is click his fingers. I'm sorry Olga. You're sorry hmmm? - Hello ladies - Hello Hey! Come join us In your dreams! Stuck up bitch! Definitely Russian. Cold as ice, like their shitty weather! Think she's a "pro"? Definitely a "pro"! Enough guys... Come on! How much? Bitch! 'What's so funny?

Babe, we're an hour from home and another hour to the airport. It's just not gonna happen. This is serious. I'm on a warning already. It's not gonna happen, I'm sorry. Fuck! I'm such an idiot! I'm such an idiot! Sit down Look, I'll... I'll phone them and I'll... I'll say you're sick. Look at this place! I thought this was what you wanted? I can hardly remember getting on the boat. Trust me, no-one can feel as bad as I do this morning. Now, put your hand on the steering wheel. Come on There it's all yours. So where are you taking me then? Round the world - In how many days? - Trust me. It won't take 80! Oh, The King... The Great... The God Father! Hey Raj, everything good? First class! How is that Patel boy performing?

Sir, Mr. Guy Berger and his colleagues from the Ayah agency. Hi Peace be with you Peace be with you too Please Okay. Let's get down to it. I don't have much time I'm afraid. Alright, well, further to our previous meeting we've got some of the material that we spoke about that we would like to present to you. As per your request about giving back to the community. We'd like to suggest, a daily cash prize that will really grab the people's attention. Right... I can see the merit in this. But it really has to be a substantial prize for it to stand out in the shopping festival. Let's make it a daily prize of one million dirham's cash! That will show our commitment and prove we are serious. Well, that is more than generous and something that will really prove very attractive to the public. Let me show you some of the stuff that we have already developed. Just like to put the screen on... So that brings to an end the visual display. Here is some of the visuals and graphics that we've have created. Mike, our graphic designer, developed this... which is our hero leaflet and something we want to use at the airports. Probably as neon signs in the malls and all over the United Arab Emirates. And back here we have our friend the scratch and win card. Which we now know has one million written across it. Thanks to you. This contract here... simply approves the visuals and then we'll be a step closer. Okay, thanks There was a time when people had to work their entire lifetime to earn such a sum. Now all they have to do is scratch a card... And they could win a million! - Oh my God... Are those Guy's? Yes Just a small pad then? Hey where are the Flamingos? They got tired. Welcome to my humble abode Yes... very 'humble' indeed! Don't look round, don't look round... This is Alex Pearson and his Jumeirah Jane wife... Elizabeth, how are you? Hello darling Hello Guy! Good. This is Natalia And her friend...erm... Very funny! Olga Very good to meet you. Natalia used to be a ballerina, but now she's modeling. Actually, I'm a stewardess. You're the new find Guy told me about? The one that's heading the Dubai shopping festival campaign. Impressive! Oh, I can barely get this one away from the pool. Do shut up darling! What a beautiful dress. Yes it is isn't it? Thank you. So Olga, you've not seen the villa, have you? So maybe if you would like to show her around? I'll catch up with you later? Bye - Bring me ice, immediately. - Bring another case of champagne too. Asshole from Rome, no? Okay, hurry up kid? Bye Hello Hello You almost cost me my job. And you are? Flight from Rome... you accused me of stealing your wallet! Right... Well I was asked who the last person was to handled my jacket and it was you. Well... I'm not a thief. Yeah, well I don't know you. I'm sorry I'm...I'm sorry. That was completely rude. And I apologise for my behaviour on the flight back there. I was being a real asshole. Please join me... Sure But you are really going to have to make up for it. So... What is it that you do troubled flyer? Are you a friend of Guy's? He helped me launch my restaurant. I'm Nasser by the way I am Olga and that's Natalia Hello How do you do... Ah! You must be the girl that Guy's raving about. And...what about you Olga? Just a friend, but I've never met a restauranteur before. When are you going to invite us out, huh? Anytime It's the Marina Cafe. Just let me know when you're free. So why were you having a tough time? Actually it was the end of a relationship, wasn't the best experience I've ever had. In fact it was a real nightmare. But change can be good, it allows you to meet new and interesting people, huh? Oh Naz. Please tell me that you are not depressing the girls with stories of emotional heartache and suicide? Come on Guy, who can resist two beautiful, charming ladies like these? Naz is the best chef in town. He's literaly a magician... And what he lacks in the bedroom he certainly makes up for in the kitchen. And he's cool too... for someone who is about to serve 100 people dinner in 27 minutes! Under control... Come on, you got to come see this feast he's prepared for us. You coming? We'll catch up with you. So... which of those sports cars outside is yours? Actually... mine's the Mini in the catering truck! Well, you know having your own restaurant isn't that shabby either. It pays the bills. Come on... lets forget the food and get a drink sounds like you need it. What a night You okay? Babe...babe what? I don't know what Do you think it's all happening a bit fast? No I'm falling for you. I can't help it and I don't want it to stop. Babe? Excuse me just a second. Babe? You okay? It must be Nasser's famous food I ate. Ta-da! Wow, I must be dreaming! Didn't know if you were ever going to sleep here again. It was either learn to cook or continue to eat at Nassers restaurant every night. It looks delicious. So? How's it been? Good It's all happening a bit fast but... he's lovely. I'm happy when I'm with him and I miss him when I'm not. I just never thought he was your type, the high roller with the sports cars. What do you think is my type then? Come on Nat! He's so smooth he can sell sand to the Arabs. He has to be otherwise he wouldn't survive in this world. Enough about me. Tell me... Which is it? Has Nasser stolen your heart... or have you stolen his pin number? Haha. Very funny. He's actually a really sweet guy for your information. He might not be rolling in it like Guy, 'Miss. hidden agenda' but... he does own his own restaurant so that means something. Do u seriously think I'm with Guy because of his money? No But listen... he's older, divorced, has a kid and... if I'm honest I think he's a little bit of a playboy, so just be careful. Because maybe he's just having some fun with you and then he's going to move on. Because that's what playboy's do. He's not a playboy. I just hope what you have with Nasser is more about you and him... than that restaurant and what you can buy with it's profits. Okay, I'm going to ignore that comment. Thanks for cooking. I've got to get some sleep. I've going to talk to Guy, before I leave tomorrow. It must be important... It is important. I don't want to fight. Come on girl, what's the matter? Promise me you won't tell a soul I haven't told anybody I'm pregnant Shit Oh you poor girl, this is terrible. Don't worry I can fix this, I have contacts, we'll sort it out for you, how far gone are you? No, no, no you got me wrong I don't need help. I just need to talk to Guy. Wait! You're not doing this just to put the pressure on Guy to commit are you? I'm not talking to you anymore, but for your information, Guy is a wonderful father. You are so naive. Natalia, wake up! If they find out you're unmarried and pregnant they'll fire you. You'll be single, jobless, pregnant and back at your momma's place in Bucharest. Now is that what you really want? What's wrong with you? You just can't be happy for me, can you? [What happened with you and Khalfan?] Hello - Faisal? Hi. Who's this? - Forgive me, but have you and Khalfan fought? - R's Fatima Hi Fatima! No don't worry! It's a small thing and everything will be ok. How's Nana doing? - Thanks m God, shes fine. I wish I didn't have to go. Oh I know, I know And I wish you weren't working this weekend too. But... at least it will give me time to spend with Chantelle. Get her away from her mother. When I get back, we need to talk. Talk? Is there anything I can do? I know we haven't been together for long. It's just that I really, really like you. And... You like me? So, erm... So that's what this is all about? About you not knowing where you stand? Well you don't have to worry about that because I love you. Did I say that or did I think it? No. I think I said it. Oh, babe Oh my God. You are so late. - Oh God... Oh my God... Okay Go, go! Goodbye Babe... Babe! Thank you. Basu Basu! Have you been partying all night? Sorry sir! What sorry? That's the third time this month! Understood? Not to mention the complaints I had about your bad driving. Now do this Hand in your papers, uniforms and keys and leave. You've lost your job!

Never mind... - And that's all for today and I will see you on board. You're a star! Go! Go see the world! Natalia, this is unacceptable. Continuously arrive late or call in sick.

How are you feeling? I am so sorry Natalia. You're the last person on earth I want to see. Get out. Please Natalia! It was a bad mistake, I know I screwed up. Okay, he invited me over to chat about you because he was concerned about you... - Fucking hell! - He kept pouring me drinks and it just happened. I really didn't mean it. I can't tell you how sorry I am. Did you tell him that I'm pregnant? Oh of course not. Good Now get out. I never wanna see your jealous, money grabbing face ever again! I know how much it hurts. But I will, I promise, make it up to you my darling you... Make it up to me? Make it up to me? We're not friends. You knew how I felt about him and you did it out of spite. If ever a person has been dead to me, it's you. Get out Nat. I know I have no right... but please don't tell Nasser. Get out What is this? How dare you bring alcohol into this house? But father, I killed him. If he wasn't coming for me he would still be alive today. I wish it was me who died. No my son. Get these thoughts out of your head. It's not you who killed him, it was the lifestyle you both have been leading. This is what killed him. As I warned you. Sleep and try to forget. You have to deal with this like a man. You need to give your life some value or at least... give Khalfan's memory some value. This time I'll forgive you but I swear to God even though I shouldn't if you ever bring this sin into my house again you will not be my son nor will I know you. [Three men have been arrested for kidnapping and attempted murder] [Horrific accident on Shk. Zayed Road] Well, I must say I'm really pleased with the results and we can release you. Thank you Doctor. Can I see the mirror? Oh yes. Yes, yes of course here you are Don't worry. This has come out much better than I thought you're lucky to be alive. Hi Natalia You're a lucky woman the baby's fine. I'm going to have them release you in the morning. Sleep well! My dear Khalfan is getting ready Man, what you spinning? You're gonna take off! You're starting to bald. We're getting older. You want a glove? What am I, Michael Jackson? Waiting for the fish today. I love this life! You and your cigarettes! Think you're gonna catch fish smoking that way? I dare you, I dare you! What's this? Snapper You're just envious Dear boy, got excited that he's gone fishing. What happened? You okay? I don't know what to say... I'm an idiot. We got drunk and it just happened. I don't care. I fucked up, but... the last thing that I ever want is to hurt you. Give me a chance, let me help you with this. This? What do you mean, this? Olga told me. She was worried about you. I've got a friend, he's a doctor. He's the best in town. No one need ever know you were pregnant. Like it never happened. Guy... I'm keeping the baby. You're upset... and you're emotional. But you know that, that is impossible. Let's just make this as painless as we can. Just leave... you're pathetic. Natalia... we're not in Eastern Europe. Seriously Guy fuck off! I don't wanna see you, hear you or anything. I'm having the baby and neither you nor anyone else is going to stop me. Let me explain something to you in case you don't understand. This is my city. I know everyone. And if you don't have this abortion and get rid of this baby, I will make it my mission in life, my reason for getting up in the morning to make you, so intensely fucking miserable! That you'll be sprinting to the clinic! So you listen to me when I tell you this, I will fucking break you! Think about it? While I was recovering in hospital I got evicted from my home. I really need to get back on stage. Even if it's for two nights a week. No Nothing can be done for you. Babu One glass Sir, if you're not gonna help me, who will? Look Basu Not all work is bad. Why don't you work as a waiter? Doesn't pay as good as a taxi driver but it's something. Here, drink! Think about it my friend. Nasser Hi Natalia Olga told me about your accident. Are you okay? No, actually I'm not. I'm leaving tonight for good. Why? What happened? What about Guy? I found this in our flat. Whoa. Wait a minute... Can you explain this to me? I can't You're a nice guy Nasser. I just came to say goodbye and wish you good luck. Take care I remember the date, 20th February. When my father was burnt alive in front of me. My mother was killed my kids were taken away. I'm asking what was their fault? What was their fault? Nothing Today, your father was killed. Your mother has been burned, your kids have been taken away from you. Why should I care? I look at you, and it makes me laugh. Who are you? How did you enter? You don't see there's an audition going on? Go, take him out! I perform Where, in a circus? Get him out of here! I don't want to see you again! 20th of February, I still remember that day. When my parents were burned alive in front of me. My wife was killed My kids were taken away. What was their fault? What was their fault? You all are the ones responsible for their death! And, today your parents have been burned your wife has been murdered and your kids have been taken away from you. Why should I think of you? Let them die. You have no right to cry for them. No right! One more time, from the top. Thank you sir. Thank you. Have you got something I wanna hear? I came to tell you, you have no right to threaten me or my child. And whatever I choose to do with my life is of no consequence to you and never will be... - Really? - Daddy, daddy, daddy!
