[rock music playing]
[Mariam] Layan,
the popular girl.
The girl who everyone
wants to be friends with,
and whose gang they want to be in.
But at the same time,
she's the one they're all terrified of.
Ruqayya and Rania,
Layan's besties.
She doesn't go anywhere without them.
The three of them,
they control the school.
But all that is about to change.
And how is it going to change?
It's the only option.
Mariam, are you aware
that since the beginning of the session,
all you've talked about is Layan?
Could it be that subconsciously
you actually want to be more like Layan?
I mean, she's a very popular girl
who everyone seems to admire.
So that's the conclusion
you've come up with?
Come on,
she's the reason why I'm in this mess.
I get suspended for two weeks
and she gets off
with three days and a warning.
She's the one lying!
Along with her little gang
that totally got off the hook, by the way.
[sighs]
Ms Faten is to blame
for all this, you know.
She covered it up to save her reputation.
You said you keep a diary, is that right?
Writing is an excellent tool you can use.
It will help you express
all of your anger.
And meanwhile,
please start this medication.
It will help alleviate your anxiety
until all of this passes
and things have settled down.
[breathes deeply]
[slow piano music playing]
DINA, WHERE ARE YOU?
WHY WON'T YOU ANSWER ME?
[indistinct chatter]
Have you heard?
Mariam is coming back to school today.
What are we going to do?
Why are you stressing?
She'll be so terrified.
She learned the hard way
not to mess with us.
Girls, don't forget
about the football try-outs today.
Straight after fifth period for anyone
who wants a shot at the national team.
There's only two spots.
- Big opportunity.
- See you there, Ms Jumana.
- [Ms Jumana] Good luck.
- Thank you.
[school bell rings]
[Layan] Imagine if we get picked.
We'll be travelling
all over the place for matches.
Not "if". It's when we get picked.
But she said there are
only two spots still available.
Precisely! And they're ours!
Just picture it.
Just the two of us travelling around
the world from one country to the next.
It would be totally amazing.
So excited!
[gasps] Sumayya!
For God's sake. My shoes are all dirty.
Now what am I supposed to do?
Yuck.
[upbeat music playing]
Do you have everything?
You forgot your pills.
Here. Take them with you, okay?
Mariam, promise me that you'll behave
and you'll listen to Ms Faten.
You know,
if it wasn't for her and what she did,
then you'd have been expelled.
That woman stood by us.
[sarcastically] I'll make sure
to thank her.
[undoes seat belt]
[engine starts]
Dina!
I was looking for you.
Sorry, I have to go.
Dina.
- Dina!
- What?
What's the matter with you?
Why are you ignoring me?
I really need your support.
I need my best friend.
I sent you, like, a million messages
but you didn't reply to me.
Sorry, I guess
I've just been busy with things.
[scoffs softly]
Are you for real?
After everything I've been through?
I expected this
from some people, but not from you.
After everything you have been through?
Then what about
everything I've been through?
I mean, finding out that my friend,
my "best friend", has been lying to me?
What?
Mariam, when were you
going to tell me about Yazan?
Dina, there's nothing to tell.
It was just
I defended you
at that parents' meeting we had.
I stood up for you.
Even when the girls said
they saw you do it, I didn't believe them.
For all I know, it actually did happen
and you've been lying about that, too.
- I feel so stupid.
- No! Dina!
It's all rubbish.
Hey, you know more than anyone
what Layan's capable of.
After everything that's gone on,
I'm not sure what I believe anymore.
I have to go.
[sad music playing]
[girl] Ugh, this is so boring.
[mockingly] Good morning.
[chuckles softly]
Good morning, Hadia.
Oh, hey, Layan.
So, how many people
did you eat for breakfast today?
[chuckling]
And who is it you're messaging?
Ahmad.
- [Layan] Oh!
- [Ruqayya] Ooh!
- Have you already got with him?
- [Layan chuckles]
Girls, life is short.
I don't like wasting my time.
He got my number from the WhatsApp group,
and he texted me last night.
We were messaging all night. [yawns]
I mean, I barely got any sleep.
- Well, go on, then. Let's see.
- Oh.
Ooh!
[Ruqayya] Look at him.
[gasps] Maybe we could all
start going on double dates.
Me, you, Ahmad and Laith! [exclaims]
Oh, okay. [chuckles softly]
[all shushing]
Well, well, well. Look who's back.
[Ruqayya] So?
Did you enjoy your holiday,
you freak of nature?
Did you miss us?
Let me pass, Layan.
Can we let you pass?
Hmm
Erm
[girls giggling and murmuring]
What's the magic word?
Please.
- [Ruqayya sniggers]
- [indistinct whispering]
There we go. That's more like it.
[all laugh]
Oops.
Oh. [chuckles]
[tense music playing]
[sighs]
[pills rattling]
[Ms Abeer] How does the eye work?
It works by detecting
visible rays of light,
and then
turning that information into images.
This is achieved with the help
of many different parts of the eye.
So let's learn a bit more about them.
First of all
[Mariam] People can put up with pain
and keep their feelings bottled up
[rock music playing]
but only to a certain point.
[fire alarm ringing]
After which they burst.

DIRECTED BY TIMA SHOMALI
[fire alarm ringing]
Miss, what's that noise?
- Settle down.
- [Rania] It woke me up.
[Ms Abeer] Settle down.
Here we go again with the drama.
- [Dina] What's going on?
- [Ms Abeer] Settle down!
[woman on PA] Attention, teachers,
please evacuate all classrooms
and take your students out to
the fire evacuation point immediately.
Miss, the building's on fire!
We need to get out.
[woman on PA] all classrooms,
take your students
[Dina] If smoke gets in here,
we will all suffocate!
Hey, hey, hey!
Calm down, girls, okay? Shh, shh.
Okay, form a line quickly now. Out we go.
please evacuate all classrooms
and take your students out to
the fire evacuation point immediately.
Quickly now, girls.
Come on, come on, out you go.
Come on, Noaf. Move it!
Hurry up.
[fire alarm continues ringing]
[indistinct chatter]
[Ms Abeer] What's taking them so long?
[sighs] How long? What is this?
[indistinct chatter]
- Thank you so much.
- You're welcome, Ms Faten.
[Ms Faten over megaphone]
Girls, everything is okay now.
It was just a slight malfunction
with the fire alarm, but it's been fixed.
Please return to your classrooms.
Let's go.
[shrill static over speakers]
[Layan chuckles] Yeah,
I know. What the hell?
Oh, my God.
I mean, today was the longest day ever.
I fell asleep in class,
but Ms Abeer came and woke me up.
And of course, she lectured me about it.
And as if that wasn't bad enough,
she was breathing right in my face.
- And her breath smelt so, so bad!
- [girls exclaiming]
[Layan] It was like
a rat had died in her mouth.
- Shit!
- I mean, yuck!
Don't make me think about it.
- What the hell is happening?
- Honestly, I almost fainted.
Who knows what kind of shit
she eats for breakfast.
[Ruqayya chuckles] She probably
starts her day off with a garlic sandwich.
[Layan] I guess that's why
no one's ever wanted to marry her.
- Or even look at her.
- Oh, God!
[Rania] You know, sometimes
I wonder about our teachers.
- Do they have something in their lives
- Turn that off.
- Go turn those speakers off.
- [Rania] Do they even have a life?
[Layan] Ms Jumana probably
just spends all her time at home
- checking herself out in the mirror
- [girls exclaiming]
while practicing
those motivational speeches
she annoys us with when we're playing.
[Rania] Mind you, though. She is hot.
[Ruqayya] I don't understand
why you like Ms Jumana so much.
[Rania] She is a badass woman.
- [girls exclaiming]
- [Rania] Unlike the rest of them.
I respect her.
- [Layan mockingly] "Girls"
- It's true.
"your future is the most
important thing," blah, blah, blah.
[static over speakers]
THEY'RE COMING. GET OUT OF THERE!
[Ms Abeer] All right now, everyone.
Back to your classrooms.
Back to your classrooms, please.
Show's over.
Come on, girls.
Yes, you. Let's go. Come on.
[dramatic music playing]
[clock ticking]
Okay, fine, Ms Abeer.
We know it was wrong of us.
But we have to be fair about this.
I mean, we can't be held accountable
for something we said in private.
[Ruqayya] That's right.
Our privacy has been totally violated
and that's the real issue here.
Which means the school
isn't safe at the moment,
so there needs to be an investigation
and to punish whoever is responsible.
What do you have to say, Ms Rania?
Don't you have any comments for us?
Erm, no. I think they've covered
all of the important points.
[sighs]
What do you think is going on here, girls?
You own the school
and everyone works for you?
Your actions don't have
any consequences to them?
You behave however you like
with no consideration.
You disrespect absolutely everyone.
I am disappointed to learn
that behaviour extends to your teachers.
[scoffs] But that's it.
[Ms Abeer sits down]
I've had enough.
It's high time, girls
that I taught you a lesson.
And it's one you won't forget.
What are you saying?
To begin with,
I have decided to ban you all
from taking part in school activities,
starting with today's try-outs.
What?
But also, you'll be doing
community service for the rest of term.
Sumayya.
Now, girls.
You're going to be taking over
from Sumayya all afternoon.
No way!
That is not punishment,
that's humiliation.
Excuse me, Ms Abeer,
but this is called a violation of privacy.
You can't blame us for something
that's taken place in private.
And what about freedom of expression?
Is that just a theory we learn,
but aren't allowed to put into practice?
Well, in that case,
how about I speak with all your parents?
I can play them
the recording of your conversation,
then I can ask them what they think
is a fair punishment for their girls.
If that's what you prefer.
Sumayya.
[Arabic rap song playing]
Life's a bitch, eh?
Kill me now.
If only I knew the bitch who did this.
[Ms Abeer] Girls, come on. Gather round.
Now let this be an example
to each and every one of you.
Whatever mess you've made,
whether in public or private,
you can be fairly certain
that they will catch up with you.
And the only person
who will have to clean it up is you.
Come on, then. Start cleaning.
I don't want to see a single
piece of paper left on the ground.
And then you can go
and do the bathrooms afterwards.
- [girls gasp and murmur]
- What?
[Rania] Did I hear that right?
- [girls giggling]
- Where did she tell us to go?
Let's go. Get to work.
Girls, come on. Move out of the way.
Give them space to work.
You may watch them from a distance.
Come on, ladies. Move it.
There you go.
You can clean this spot here.
Come on, get on with it.
[rap song continues]
Ew.
[gags]
Feels like I'm watching a scene
from Orange is the New Black.
What do you want?
I just wanted to see how you're doing.
Look, Noaf.
I know damn well
that you saw what those girls did to me,
and yet,
you kept your mouth shut, didn't you?
Maybe cut the whole nice-girl act
because it doesn't suit you.
Listen, I'm really sorry
about what happened.
I don't really know what to say.
I just couldn't speak up.
[Layan] Come on!
[all cheering]
Besides, look at them.
It's obvious no one can stand up to them.
[cheering]
So why bother trying, right?
You don't know anything about me.
[girls cheering]
Yeah, you're right.
But at least I know
how much of a coward you are.
[indistinct laughter]
[tense music playing]
[exhales deeply]
STAY AWAY FROM HER
[sad music playing]
[Noaf's mum] You can't just
expel her like that.
I mean, where will she go?
[principal] I've given Noaf
more chances than she deserves.
But this time your daughter
has really crossed the line.
She stole the exam questions
and handed them out to the students.
I'm sorry to have to say this,
but your daughter
can no longer be a part of our school.
[sighs deeply]
I can't actually believe
that Ms Abeer has done this to us.
[door closes]
We definitely
need to do something about it.
There's no way I'm doing
this shit until the end of term.
And where the hell did she get the idea
to ban us from going to the try-outs?
[Layan] Don't worry.
We're going to those try-outs.
I'll sort it. Just leave it with me.
But how are you going to do that?
Well, er, between you and me
Ms Faten owes me a favour.
[chuckles] Tell me about it.
[Layan] Anyway, guys.
Ms Abeer isn't the problem right now.
The problem is that
some bitch is messing with us,
and we need to find out who it is
so we can teach them a lesson.
Trust me, Layan. We're going to get them.
They're going to wish
they'd never been born.
[laughing]
This is serious.
You shouldn't be joking about it.
Mmm-hmm, obviously. [sniggers]
You know what?
I'm sick of you and your attitude.
- [door opens]
- This isn't funny.
- [door closes]
- Well, hello, ladies.
I can see you're just
standing there chatting and having fun.
Do you think this is some kind of joke?
Go and clean
the cubicles right this instant.
Go on! Get in there!
- Miss, we were just, er
- Move it!
[tense music playing]
[Ms Abeer] I said move it. Quickly!
[breathing heavily]
[woman over PA system]
All final year students,
please make your way to the assembly hall.
All final year students,
please make your way to the assembly hall.
Do you know why they're calling us?
It'll be because of what happened earlier.
I think it must be to do with what
Layan and her friends got up to.
- Oh, okay.
- Mmm-hmm.
[woman] Hello, ladies.
[all cheering]
My name is Khawla Salem.
And being here today is bringing back
so many fantastic memories
that I have of my time here.
Wherever I go, people acknowledge and
respect AlRawabi's name and its values
You know, I'm starting
to like these overalls.
This is just pure humiliation.
And I'm here
to remind you all of these values,
which are the same values that my beloved
school taught me all those years ago.
[all chuckling softly]
I would also like to talk to you today
about a very serious topic.
I want to talk to you about bullying
and the effects of negative behaviour.
Well, well, well.
They've gone to all this trouble
and made a big fuss
just to teach us a lesson. Wow.
Okay, how about we have some fun?
Let's try this role-playing exercise.
So who would like to take the role of
the poor girl who's going to be bullied?
I think Layan
could play that role for you.
She's an extremely talented actress.
Okay, great. Where's Layan?
[whispering] Shit, shit!
[Ms Khawla] Layan?
Come on, Layan. Join me on stage.
- Come on.
- [all cheering]
- Go, Layan!
- [Ms Khawla] Come on!
All right.
So, put your hand up if you'd
like to take the role opposite Layan
as the bully.
I don't think anyone's
got the guts to bully Layan.
[Ms Khawla] Really? Nobody?
Come on, girls. This exercise
is really, really fun. I promise.
Anyone?
Anyone? Anyone?
Yes, you at the back. Come on up.
[upbeat music playing]
No, she can't be serious.
Er, can you tell me your name?
Noaf.
[Ms Khawla] Okay, then, Noaf,
we're going to imagine
that you really don't like Layan.
That's easy.
[all laughing]
So, Layan is minding her own business
and you walk past her.
Now I want both of you
to visualise the situation.
Work together to improvise a conversation.
All right?
Okay, let's do this.
And action!
[indistinct giggling]
Hey!
[sniffs]
What's that smell?
Heard of personal hygiene?
I guess not.
[indistinct chuckling]
When was the last time you took a shower?
You stink.
[laughs]
Yeah, I don't actually smell.
We're just acting.
[all chuckling]
[playful music playing]
You better watch yourself, Noaf.
And you better not come any closer.
[whispers] Oh, stinky Layan.
Stinky Layan, stinky Layan.
[all chanting] Stinky Layan, stinky Layan.
[chanting continues]
- [Layan] Stop it!
- Okay, okay.
Thank you. I think that's enough.
That was about to get out of control.
Okay, thank you, girls.
Thank you very much.
Please go back to your seats. Off you go.
Back to your seat, Layan.
Okay, so now let's think
a little bit about what we just saw.
Layan tried to defend herself at first,
but Noaf didn't give her a chance
and just kept going and going.
AUDITORIUM
[indistinct chatter]
That snake!
I can't believe
she did that to you, Layan.
That freak of nature?
Please. She was only acting brave
because the teachers were there, okay?
Otherwise, she wouldn't have done that.
She wouldn't have dared.
Yeah, what a loser.
Let's get changed before try-outs.
- But Ms Abeer
- Ms Abeer can kiss my arse.
Like I said, I've got this.
So just let me deal with it.
Ms Faten?
Ms Faten. Can I have a word with you?
[rock music playing]
[Ms Jumana] Go! Faster, faster, faster!
Hurry up! Come on, Dina!
Quickly! Come on!
Hadia, faster!
[blows whistle]
- Gather around, girls.
- [laughs]
[Ms Jumana] Come on, come on.
Hanadi, over here!
Pass it over here. Come on, over here!
Very good, Hadia.
I don't want you to let
a single goal past you.
Come on, quickly!
Listen to me.
I got expelled from my old school, okay?
I missed a whole year
because no one would take me after that.
I was supposed to graduate last year.
Now I literally have all eyes on me.
Ms Faten said if I step
a single toe out of line, at all,
I'll be expelled on the spot.
I'll have no qualifications.
That's why I couldn't
stick up for you before.
Or say anything when it actually happened.
[Ms Jumana] You need to tackle her.
Don't expect her to just give it to you.
[Noaf] I'm not just saving my own skin.
It's just that I've made
my mum's life pretty hard.
She went to a lot of trouble
to get me a place at this school,
and if I'd gone to Ms Faten, those girls
would never have left me alone.
The reason that
I got expelled to begin with
is because I could never keep my
mouth shut or turn a blind eye to things.
So if you're going to judge me,
at least do it for the right reasons.
[Ms Jumana] Go, go, go!
Hadia, come on, move!
More enthusiasm please!
Run for the ball! Come on!
So, Ruqayya, are you taking part?
No. I'm just here
to have some fun with you guys.
[tuts and groans]
Now just where do you think you're going?
To the try-outs.
I thought I made myself clear.
When I told all of you that you're banned
from all school activities.
You should really go and discuss
the matter further with Ms Faten.
[tense music playing]
[Ms Faten] Hmm.
Okay.
Yes.
I'll call you back later. Bye.
[receiver clatters]
Ms Abeer, what is it?
Did you give permission
to Layan and her friends
to go to the football try-outs?
The only person at this school
with the authority
to make these decisions is me, all right?
Yes.
But you did say it was up to me
to deal with what happened earlier on,
in the way I deemed appropriate.
And you did a very good job of it.
Community service
is both fair and appropriate.
The punishment also included
a ban on school activities.
Ms Abeer.
We still don't know any of
the details surrounding the recording
or indeed how it got out.
And regardless
of what was said, let us not forget
it was just a conversation
between a group of schoolgirls.
Goodness knows what we used to say
about our teachers when we were their age.
Nonetheless, Ms Faten, we can't
continue giving a free pass to Layan
just because
we happen to know who her father is.
Abeer!
Any decisions that are made at this school
are only taken with the girls'
best interest at heart. Is that clear?
[tense music playing]
- [whistle blows]
- [Ms Jumana] Go!
Faster, faster, faster!
Have you noticed that we've been
getting into way more trouble
ever since that new girl
arrived at AlRawabi?
- There's always trouble here.
- [Ms Jumana] Bravo!
But did you see how
she looked at me today in the bathroom?
And? What are you worried about?
The only thing she's brave enough to do
is threaten me in a room full of teachers.
[Ms Jumana] Come on!
Come on, Hanadi!
Go, Hanadi. Come on!
What's going on, Hadia?
Yes! No!
Yes!
Go, go! Move, move!
So tell me. Why did you
get expelled from your old school?
What did you do?
Hmm. Finally, you're talking to me.
You know what? Forget it.
Okay, okay, I was just joking.
So in answer to your question
I hacked into the school's server
and stole the end-of-year exam papers.
I mean
seriously?
You don't strike me as someone
who would need to steal exam papers
to be able to pass.
I didn't steal them for me.
I gave them to the students who were
having a hard time with schoolwork.
Like, you sold the papers
for money or something?
No, for free.
It's just that I don't believe
that a person's future
should be determined by a piece of paper.
The school obviously thought otherwise.
Listen, I know I'm the last person
who should be saying this, but
I'd be extremely careful if I were you.
It's just not worth
ruining your life over them.
Don't know what you're talking about.
I know it was you
who broadcast their conversation.
I didn't.
Suit yourself. Keep on denying it.
But seriously, just be careful.
[girls cheering]
[whistle blows]
[breathing heavily]
[Rania and Layan whooping]
Nice one, Rania!
Bravo, Rania. That's it. To the bench.
I'd say the national team
has your name written all over it.
Come on.
One down, one to go.
[Ms Jumana] Layan, you're up.
- [Rania] Go, Layan!
- [girls cheering]
[whistle blows]
- [girls cheering]
- Go, Layan! Go, Layan!
Come on, then.
Let's see who else is stupid enough
to think they can get the ball past me.
Mariam, you're up.
[tense music playing]
Okay, Mariam.
Let's see if you've got what it takes.
But I wouldn't
get my hopes up if I were you.
- Ow! Shit!
- [gasps]
You did that on purpose, you total bitch!
No, it was an accident.
- [grunts]
- Hey! Layan!
What's wrong with you?
Come on, it was an accident.
These things happen.
Where's your sportsmanship, Layan?
Do you think they'd tolerate
this behaviour in the national team?
Learn to control your temper.
Okay, one more time.
Who does Ms Jumana
think she is, speaking to me like that?
She's probably still just angry with you
from what you said
in the voice note. [chuckles]
Oh, yeah. It's got to be that.
But that's easy for you to say.
I mean, you fangirled over her
in front of the whole school,
so basically,
you can do no wrong in her eyes.
[sighs]
If I don't make the national team
because of her, I swear I'll
Don't be stupid.
The spots are ours for the taking.
I mean, did you see the others?
None of them
is half the goalie you are. Hmm?
Listen up.
I've been thinking.
Who could possibly be out to get us?
Do you think the fire alarm had something
to do with what's been happening to us?
I have a bad feeling about the new girl.
She's up to something
and she keeps messing with us.
[tense music playing]
- Rania?
- Hmm?
What is it?
Do you know something?
Erm
Maybe?
I don't know, er
Well, I guess
there was a thing the other day
that I didn't tell you about.
But don't worry.
It's not a big deal.
I dealt with it
on the spot there and then.
What exactly did you deal with?
Noaf saw us when we, you know
Come on. Spit it out.
- When we beat up Mariam.
- What?
Why didn't you tell us
about this before, Rania?
I handled it, okay?
Well, you did
a really bad job, didn't you?
If she starts talking,
everyone is going to know
that you and I were with Layan.
And they're going to realise
that I was lying at the meeting.
Oh, for God's sake, Rania, how could you
forget to tell us something like that?
If she was gonna
say anything, she would've by now.
We'll show her who's boss, then.
[dramatic music playing]
[indistinct chatter]
[girl] Stop it!
- Give it back!
- Leave her alone.
[Layan] All of you, shut up.
- Stop it! Let go!
- [shushing]
Don't speak, understand?
[imperceptible]
- [Noaf] Hey!
- Noaf!
- Hey, you! What the hell are you doing?
- [girl] Noaf!
Looks like you forgot
to tell us about your sister.
If it's me you have
a problem with, talk to me.
Leave my sister alone.
- Noaf!
- What are you trying to do? Kill her?
Did you steal our phones
and play those voice notes?
[Noaf] Me? What? No!
A bit of advice.
If you have anything to say,
then now's the time.
If I find out
you were behind it, you'll regret it.
[Ruqayya] Shh.
Look, I'm not stupid.
I saw what you did to Mariam.
I'm not lying.
- Give me that.
- [Ruqayya clicking tongue]
Relax. [chuckles]
What's the matter? It was just a joke.
[both chuckle]
Are you okay?
[breathing heavily]
I'm really warning you.
Next time, it won't be a joke.
[scoffs softly]
Let's go.
[breathing heavily]
[Noaf breathing heavily]
[doctor] She's okay now.
I hope you feel better, Joud.
Thank you, Doctor.
- Thank you, Doctor. Please.
- Bye.
Hmm. See? The doctor said
everything is going to be okay. Okay?
Now, I want you to tell me what happened.
[door closes]
I was standing by the bus with my friends,
then Noaf's friends came and
Noaf?
[tense music playing]
Er, yeah, actually, yeah.
I remember I was running
and then Noaf came with her friends
and they helped me because I was tired.
Hmm. You know you'll
always have each other, sweetie.
I'm so glad that Noaf was there.
Now, I want you
to get some rest like the doctor said.
Get a good night's sleep tonight
and tomorrow everything will be okay.

WELCOME
- [in English] Er, good evening.
- [Mariam's dad] Hello.
Is Mariam home tonight?
She is, yes. And you are?
I'm Noaf, her friend from school.
That's strange. Mariam didn't
tell us she was expecting anyone.
Yeah, sorry to just show up like
this without ringing beforehand.
We're working on
a project together, you see.
And I happened to be
in the area with my mum,
so I thought I'd drop by
to give her the USB stick she needs.
Sure thing. Er, just a sec.
Mariam!
Your friend Noaf is here.
Mimi!
So, what are you doing here?
And how did you get my address?
Listen, what you did today
isn't going to be enough.
I don't know what you're talking about.
It wasn't me.
Mariam, stop lying. I know it was you.
We're all grateful, but it's not enough.
[sighs]
What do you mean?
For once those girls need to be
given a taste of their own medicine.
Otherwise, nothing will ever change.
But I thought
you couldn't get into trouble?
I don't understand why
you've changed your mind all of a sudden.
I'll only get
into trouble if I get caught, won't I?
So I better not get caught.
Listen to me,
I hate those girls just as much as you do.
And I think it's time
someone stopped them.
That someone is you and me.
So?
What did they do to you?
No, not me.
It was my little sister.
They stole her inhaler from her today.
And if I hadn't gotten there in time,
who knows what could've happened.
So are you in?
Am I in?
You think the voice note thing
from earlier was my only plan?
Plan?
Oh, I'm just getting started.

[Mariam] I'm going to
take them down one by one.
First of all, the disciple. Ruqayya.
Next, the loyal best friend. Rania.
- And then I've saved the best till last.
- Layan.
But
Ms Faten?
[Mariam] She's the root
of all these problems.
She covers up everything Layan does.
Amazing.
We're going to teach them a lesson.
And make sure
they never hurt anyone else ever again.
Let's get 'em.
Let's get 'em.
