This is your son.

Kareem, please help me.

Hello, Ghassan.

- Where is Monzer?

- I don't know.

Why don't you know that?

- Didn't he call you?

- Nothing works anymore.

- Did't he call you?

- Yes but...

He said we should not wait for him.

Everywhere are roadblocks.

Probably because of the explosion this morning.

- Good evening, Mustapha.

- Good evening.

- What else did he say?

- The connection cut out.

So what's going on?

Take her husband with you.

Help me.

I'm trying to pick you up tomorrow night.

- With my baby?

- Yes of course.

But without luggage. Only one bag.

All right then. Raise him up.

Carefully.

You can't stay here anymore.

It is too dangerous.

I don't go anywhere. Not without Monzer.

At least the kids have to get away from here.

Let's talk tomorrow. Think about it.

- Whoever hears from him first, says something, yes?

- Yes.

Don't worry.

He is probably on the way here.

Thanks for everything, Ghassan.

Kareem, lock the door.

Don't be afraid, sweetheart.

Go to bed.

Delhani, clean up the table.

Monzer.

Hello, honey. Can you hear me?

Hello?
