The Blue Elephant Page #8

---

And he was always one step ahead of me.

I wouldn't wish him illness, for sure.

Yes, for sure.

Don't worry.

Don't worry, Sherif

and try to stay calm, ok?

Don't talk with him about anything.

And I will handle it.

Doctor Yehia!

You are late, doctor.

Sorry, I had an appointment, uncle Sayed.

Your appointment was by the tree.

What tree, uncle Sayed?

Om Al Sho'oor tree.

The outside tree?

Do trees grow inside, doctor?!

What do you think about

Sherif's confessions?

I think that Sameh is lying.

A complaint from a hateful person.

But you actually

knew Sherif before?

Why did you deny it

when I asked you?

I didn't remember him

he wasn't in my class, doctor.

He is 5 years older than me.

He looks totally different now.

Ok.

And what about his sister?

Would you really believe this nonsense?

Would I threaten someone

to marry his married sister?!

I never said that she is married?!

I assumed that she is married.

It's nothing but lies.

And as I told you before

Sherif Al Kurdi is a schizophrenic case.

Sameh's evaluation shows

that he spoke with him.

And that he is normal

not schizophrenic.

Sameh only had one sitting with him

and he mixes work with personal life

and above all, he loathes me.

Ok, keep Sameh out of this

and answer me.

Do you have any relationship

with Sherif's sister?

As I told you, doctor...

I don't know her.

Security says that a car entered the

hospital a couple of days ago at 11:00 PM...

ID name:
Lobna Al Kurdi...

She was visiting you...

and you left a note to the gate security.

Yehia!

Where have you been for

the past 5 years?

Do you realize what isolation

could do to anyone?

I am not sick, doctor.

We haven't said that

you are sick, Yehia.

Anyone who undergoes an

experience like yours

is likely to go through

some thought disorders.

Some people get out of this

state, gradually...

Others never do.

And, I didn't?

That's what it looks like.

And this is better than to consider other

possibilities, which you wouldn't like.

But I didn't break the law, doctor?

What happened is enough for escalating

the subject to the general secretariat.

Which means you will be dismissed.

That's an end, I wouldn't wish for you.

To avoid that I will transfer

you from "8 west"

to the senility department, "26".

A quiet department, with little problems.

You will be relieved there.

Yehia!

The last person to realize being sick

is the patient himself.

I called you, you didn't answer

so I got worried.

Lobna, what brought you here at this time?

He came home and had a fight with me.

He told me that I am an irresponsible

person, and that I have no feelings

and a shame for his family

since what Sherif did

which is of no fault of my own.

I told him we can get divorced.

He accepted immediately.

As if he was waiting for me to say it.

He packed his stuff and left.

Why are you so silent?

Lobna, I left Sherif's case today.

It wasn't my choice.

Your brother told Sameh

that he killed his wife.

And he also said that

I was threatening him.

But...

Sherif...

Sherif is insane.

Maybe I actually did those things.

That's impossible.

I am tired.

Lobna, I am not ok.

I don't know what I am doing.

I can't tell reality from

imagination anymore.

I hear things that never happened.

And I see...

I see things that didn't happen.

I am not ok!

Your brother might be saying the truth.

You are drunk, Yehia.

When I drink, I am usually sober.

That's not it.

All the symptoms that

I see on your brother...

are actually mine.

And I tell it as if they are his.

But I haven't seen any symptoms on you.

Yehia, you...

You have got to stop drinking.

You are going to become insane.

If the whole world said

that you are sick

I am telling you that you are not

Yehia, you are not.

You are not sick, Yehia.

You want to die.

For the past 10 years

and I am unable to.

I won't stand it, if you disappear

again from my life, after I found you.

Stay in the dark.

I am ok with that.

At least I would be living for

a hope even a false one.

But if you disappear

again from my life

like the previous time

I won't forgive you, Yehia.

I won't forgive you, Yehia.

I will die.

I will die, Yehia.

Hello!

Get behind!

Thank you, sir!

I am a doctor here.

Not allowed.

Dr. Safaa'!

Dr. Safaa'!

Open the door, please.

Let him in.

Sherif asked for you by name.

He threatened that he will break

Sameh's neck, if we open the door.

We won't have time to act.

Please do something, Yehia.

Get back...get back.

I am going to need this device

with me, please.

Here you go.

Yehia!

I can't stand seeing

these idiots, outside.

Take this.

Make it pitch black.

Don't make any noises, Sameh, be nice.

Loosen it a bit, Sherif

he is going to die.

Did you know that they

don't slaughter pigs?

Because of the amount of

fat around it's neck.

How they kill it then, boss.

It has to be stabbed in the heart.

But here...

There are no skewers

don't you have one?

Why don't you let Sameh out of this?

You won't benefit from his death.

What are you looking for?

This?

You don't need any device.

Believe in yourself, doctor.

You are sane.

Believe me, I am here only to...

To protect him.

To protect him from your

crazy friend, Sherif.

Protect him, by killing him, right?

You are still not able to differentiate

between me and your crazy friend, Sherif.

Try to understand...

Sherif is the one who

wants him dead.

For some reason that

I personally don't know.

But me, on the other hand

you can consider me a peacemaker.

Good!

In that case...

Then...

Look, Yehia...

I am willing to forgive

anything in the world

except a bad sense of humour.

I really can't understand

what you are trying to achieve.

I will monitor myself using this camera

under the effect of a new

type of medication.

To make sure whether I am sane or not.

Lobna, please, there is no time.

Help me so I can help Sherif.

I will lock myself inside

the room and give you the key.

And tomorrow, at the same time

come and open the door for me.

Don't worry.

I know what I am doing.

Ladies and gentlemen.

And now, time for the

blue elephant performance.

Mommy!...Mommy!

Noor!

Sir, Al Ma'moon.

Come closer.

It's the devil possession, sir.

Sorcerer!

May she never be forgiven

she who tattooed your woman.

She brought her a

vicious copulating demon.

Able to detect the talisman

half way across the world.

It will manifest itself

in the form of a black dog.

That will take possession of you

and knock you out like a dead person.

Will copulate with your women

using your own body.

Without you knowing.

Maya!

A warning, that you might keep away.

Nael!

Goes by the same name as his

grandfather Satan, in heaven

before he disobeyed the

lord and got banished.

O Lord!, Protector!

Guardian!, Full of Mercy!...

Vomit, son, vomit.

Everyday, you shall put your finger

in your throat and vomit.

Empty your body, and fill it up with salt.
