Love Is Blind: Habibi (2024) s01e04 Episode Script

Catching Up with Cupid

1
I'm a fool.
Honestly, I didn't like that situation.
Okay, can we stop it here?
It's behind us now. I realized
I made a mistake and I apologized.
You're turning it on me.
I want to be with you.
I like spending time with you in the pod.
Do you forgive me?
If I didn't forgive you,
I wouldn't be talking to you.
I forgive you.
But you're still tense.
No, not really.
- A little bit.
- Well done.
For me, it's all about respect.
You women want security
and safety from men,
being the head of the family.
This is what will make our future good.
All I'm asking for is respect!
I'm not asking for much.
This is the most important thing.
I'll be an open book to you
once you see me.
- Right away.
- Yes.
- I can see it in you. Scanner!
- Right away.
Once you see me, you'll be like
- I won't take long.
- I know.
If you see me smiling,
know that I read you well.
Come on, give me a hug and a kiss.
If you want to make up
for the first time you behaved stupidly.
- Go ahead, come closer.
- I'm close.
Come on, give me a hug.
- See you later.
- Take care.
- Bye, kisses.
- Bye.
I like her because
her personality is very strong.
SIMO, 34
RETAILER & CONTRACTOR
I feel our relationship
still has some challenges.
HAJAR, 29
BUSINESS OWNER
I don't know
if there will be a proposal or not.
LOVE IS BLIND, HABIBI
Honestly, I woke up feeling very nervous.
NOUR, 29
MODEL
I'm happy, excited, worried and scared.
MIDO, 39
REAL ESTATE CONSULTAN
There's a big problem.
All models are tall.
I'm afraid she'll be wearing heels.
That would be a total disaster!
I just wanna go home.
I know myself.
I'm girl with high standards.
But the idea that maybe I'm not his type?
I doubt that.
May God help me!
The look I chose today is the real Nour.
So that when the doors open,
he won't be able to take his eyes off me.
I knew you're beautiful, I swear.
- How are you?
- How are you?
You weren't expecting this beauty?
Nour
Bye.
Our future plans, God willing,
are that I will be going home
and she'll be with me.
Honestly, I'm looking forward
to knowing Mido better in the coming days.
I'm not going to say if it's
the right or wrong decision now.
This has been
an amazing experience till now.
I never expected it would
be full of emotions like this.
I have a connection with Hajar.
It's a very strange feeling,
hard to describe.
I feel like I'm going into the unknown.
I'm confused.
A lot of things happened
in a short period of time,
No, tell me. How do you feel?
- Yeah.
- I feel like dazed, you know?
You're a fellow Moroccan.
to meet a crazy, clumsy
and foolish Moroccan girl,
with whom I would
have chemistry with in this experience.
because fate wanted to be that way.
to heal your wounds, that I share too.
You ruined my makeup.
Come. Come on, we'll stand up.
Don't feel shy about this.
Come on!
Come on, I'm gonna hug you.
- You want me on one knee?
- Yes.
Hajar?
I would've suffocated otherwise.
Okay, go to your friends,
and I can't wait to see you, God willing.
- Kisses, my dear.
- Take care.
I felt very powerful love today.
There was chemistry. That's no joke.
- How are you?
- Good to see you.
My dear!
Congratulations.
Simo knew how to reach
the broken side of me today,
but I'm still stressed
because I want to see
how she will react when she sees me,
This morning, I smelled
the perfume he sprayed for me.
So, I got more excited to see
this suspicious guy that took my mind.
The excitement is off the charts.
My favorite person
is my grandfather, may he rest in peace.
He married my grandmother
without seeing her.
So, I'm so excited to do the same thing
as my favorite person in life.
- The Moroccan beauty!
- Finally.
I smelled you, like
- We'll be a Moroccan couple.
- Okay.
I never considered a Moroccan girl,
I wanted to meet someone different.
But you got one eventually.
- You're making me blush.
- Me too!
Simo looks arrogant.
The first phase of our enjoyable
experiment Love is Blind has ended.
KHALED SAQER AND ELHAM ALI
The guys and girls listened to each other
and decided to continue together
before meeting each other first.
Now, they have a chance
to meet face-to-face
and get to know each other
in a deeper way.
Ammar and Karma.
Mohammad and Safa.
Chafic and Dounia.
Mido and Nour.
Simo and Hajar.
- The Moroccan beauty!
- Finally.
Khatab and Asma.
After she met Khatab,
Asma was feeling hesitant
and unsure of her feelings.
Therefore, the couple
decided to take it slow
and chose not to move on
to the next phase of the experience.
I wonder what surprises
the next phase is hiding for the couples.
4 WEEKS BEFORE THE MARRIAGE
Is the love that binds them truly genuine?
Will the next phase
strengthen their relationships or not?
The ones who found their soulmates
have moved on
to the next phase of the experiment,
to get to know each other better,
face-to-face, on a holiday in a resort.
Two days ago,
I was talking to her through a wall.
I couldn't see her.
But now I know I can see her
and laugh with her.
I'm excited to see Ammar
and spend more time with him,
see how he talks and behaves,
the part I couldn't see in the pod.
Anybody can say
whatever they want in the pod,
but things are
very different in real life.
I want to unravel
the mystery I see in Simo's eyes.
Now, everybody's heading to their own room
to get ready before finally
meeting their partners,
and spend their first day together
and get to know
each others' personalities better.
In this phase, we can get
to know each other better.
I can see his character
and behaviors first-hand.
For me, Safa is the comfort
I've been looking for.
SAFA AND MOHAMMAD
I'm so excited to see Safa.
MOHAMMAD, 36
MARKETING AND BRAND MANAGER
Finally, we'll have some time
to get to know each other and chat.
SAFA, 37, FINANCE MANAGER
IN THE FIELD OF ENERGY
How are you? Are you fine?
Excuse me.
- You know who you look like?
- No.
I've been always, since I was a kid,
crazy about Eva Mendes.
Even prettier.
Your character and words too.
I swear to God.
There's something about you
that I love a lot.
Your shyness is what makes me go crazy.
- Me too.
- Yesterday was bad.
I really want us
to be closer to each other.
You're so sweet!
There are so many things
I wanna talk to you about.
I worry a lot.
And you're telling me now that I worry.
That's why I worried
when you told me about your travels.
Just to get things straight,
when are you gonna start travelling?
Okay, so, you're flying
from Dubai to Basrah.
You can't do this to me
after I saw this face.
Could this situation change
or is that impossible?
It could change
if I find a different project
But won't that be very exhausting for you?
When you settle down and whatnot.
You will have to live
in two different places.
- It's a lot, yes.
- Know what I mean?
- Yes.
- Don't you wanna feel at home?
The more I get to know Mohammad,
the more I like him.
I need to find a solution, for sure.
Distance causes estrangement,
and I don't want to be far from you.
Decide what suits you best.
Believe me, I told you before
that I won't interfere in your work.
- And I really want you.
- No, you should interfere.
I want you to be happy
regardless whether
you're with me or with someone else.
I hope it will be with me,
not with somebody else. So, let's try
What are you saying? What cold feet, dude?
Why are you saying with you
or somebody else, right off the bat?
Are you done with me?
Don't even think you'll be
with somebody else. You're crazy.
No, what I mean is, you do
what you love to do, get it?
Safa is the right choice.
Long distance is a big problem.
Things won't be easy,
but we can figure it out.
I'm sure the coming days will be
another new and important step.
I want to know him more.
And then I must make my decision.
KARMA AND AMMAR
Karma is transparent.
AMMAR, 30
DENTIS
We need to adjust to each other.
The more time we spend together,
the more I will love her.
- You look so nice.
- You look so nice too.
Your beauty is stunning. This color!
Such wonderful looks!
- Was I late?
- Yes.
- How late was I?
- A lot, a lot!
- Really?
- So, so much!
- How are you?
- How are you, Kookie?
I have a lot of pet names,
but Kookie is a new one.
- Kookie.
- Brand new.
Because you're sweet as a cookie.
- Chocolate chip cookie? I like that.
- Chocolate chip.
I like the sea and its sound so much.
This is healing for me.
That's right, after the prison we were in.
The best thing about that prison
was your voice.
Really?
I think I'll do my best
to make you feel happy with me.
I want to be fair with you always.
I'll do my best to keep you smiling.
- I like that.
- That's all I care about.
You know, we're a lot alike.
If people get to know you,
they'll get to know me too.
Are you happy with me?
- So much.
- Really?
I'm so happy because I got to see you.
- Kookie.
- My love.
- We're no longer in the pods.
- Want to go back?
- No, no, never!
- Enough with the pods.
- Sure, enough torture.
- Yeah, torture.
At first, I was chatting
with many guys. It was fun.
What was fun about that?
- What?
- I'll take you back to the pods, I swear.
No, no, I'm just teasing you.
You need to change your character a bit.
You can't be like this with everybody.
Why?
This is very important.
I'm being serious now.
- Okay.
- A woman should be flirtatious
with her husband only.
She can't do that with
With you only.
I'm smarter than this, right?
NOUR AND MIDO
- Hi.
- How are you?
- Please.
- I'm good.
Thank you.
How are you?
- I'm good. Let me put this aside.
- How are you?
- It's very hot.
- Yeah, it's hot.
How much time do you need
to do your hair? How long?
Someone does my hair for me.
Every day?
More or less.
I went to my room and I saw the bouquet.
Really?
Do you think if I wasn't your type,
- would that have changed anything?
- No, no.
Believe me,
if you feel comfortable
with someone when you talk to them,
you won't pay attention
to their appearance.
You see what's inside more.
If I'm feeling shy or awkward,
I don't look into a person's eyes.
That's what I'm doing now, right?
Yeah, I'm trying to understand.
It depends on you. It's not about me.
It depends on you.
that's the difference, understand?
I mean, it's not about
Do you know what I mean?
I'm feeling a lot of negative vibes.
I don't know why.
I haven't still felt that you
I don't know what's on your mind.
When I'm feeling shy or tense, I can't
Okay, this is proof.
On the contrary,
DOUNIA AND CHAFIC
- How are you?
- I'm fine. You?
- You look so pretty.
- You too.
- For sure.
- Yes!
I'm feeling nostalgic now,
thinking about the pods.
- The pods, that's finished.
- Yeah.
I was thinking about this,
that time flies.
But I don't know what happened
when we connected
like this in the first pod.
- I don't know what happened.
- Sure.
We just talked and it was, like boom!
I don't know. So weird!
Either you feel a connection or you don't.
You cannot force it.
But I was also thinking
that it's my first experience.
I was wondering what it would be like.
Your first and last experience.
She's never had a boyfriend.
This is very important for me.
If a girl says, "I have five or six exes,"
Really? On the contrary,
she has more experience emotionally.
I don't need a girl
who's emotionally already done,
and with trust issue.
Because this happened with me before.
I was in relationships
where I was feeling I was taking all
Sorry, the shit that the previous guy did.
I won't lie to you.
I'm someone I'm jealous.
I don't like people
who are gonna turn around, you know?
I'm sure she's my match.
I'm feeling relaxed.
But I'm a jealous person.
I want to see
how she speaks to other girls and guys.
I'll be watching your actions.
If I see you
talking to a guy and laughing
you're gonna see from my eyes.
Stop it, straight away.
I really like Chafic.
But what scared me was the jealousy part.
DOUNIA, 24
CONTENT CREATOR
I don't know how to deal with that.
HAJAR AND SIMO
Where did all this beauty come from?
Finally, yeah?
You're making me laugh and blush.
What do you think
about the experience so far?
You're hiding a lot behind those glasses.
There's more than you think.
- How do you see me?
- How do I see you?
Since day one, crazy, and I love it.
You're a troublemaker.
- I'm innocent.
- Yeah, innocent.
So, tell me, ready for this marriage?
- I want to understand you.
- What do you want to understand?
- Those eyes of yours.
- Ask me.
I want to know if we're together,
what will happen?
- For me, the best is Morocco.
- I prefer Dubai.
Morocco, it's a good idea for me
because of business.
But my life is in Dubai.
Morocco is just family.
So, that's why I'm worried
that I could lose my freedom.
To be with your family. That's freedom.
Don't give the perfect reply.
- I'm not
- Think logically.
If my business, if everything that my
father and grandfather did
is in Morocco, what should I do in Dubai?
Sell ice cream?
Are you feeling cold? Really? Sorry.
Are you cold?
- I felt cold because of your answers.
- Why? No, I'm serious.
I just wanted a normal answer.
No, but I'm being honest.
We had some
different perspectives on things.
It doesn't mean that
she's not a good person.
What is your passion?
What do you like? I like fashion.
Actually, I don't have a certain passion.
- I will be your passion.
- Maybe.
It's too late. I'm almost done.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Why did you talk
to that poor girl like that?
- That's me.
- That was inappropriate.
- That's not good.
- That's none of your business.
You shouldn't have done that
in my presence. I'll leave the restaurant.
- I want to tell you something.
- Yeah, go.
I'll leave, and you can stay.
That poor girl. She didn't know you.
She was late.
As a matter of fact,
if you have nothing nice to say,
you should keep your opinions to yourself.
Don't hurt other people's feelings.
My character
is little challenging for him.
His character
has some challenging points for me.
So, we'll either drive each other crazy
or fall in love madly.
Let's see what the future holds for us.
Bye, darling.
- Bye, darling.
- Bye.
NOUR AND MIDO
Nour cares a lot about her looks.
I'm still trying to
figure out her character,
Self-service? I have to
sit on my chair by myself?
- Could you give me a croissant, please?
- Sure.
Did you sleep well?
Yeah. Yesterday, I felt you were a bit
- Tense?
- Tense.
Okay, how do you feel right now? Honestly?
But we had a conversation yesterday,
and everything was good.
I don't know what happened today.
I don't know. For me, I feel
that you're overthinking things.
You're thinking about things
that may not happen.
Do you think I'm thinking about them
because you gave me the impression of it?
I don't feel.
I don't want us to spend
our breakfast like that.
Look at this beautiful place.
I wanna spend good time with you.
Would you like some cucumber?
- Do you want a piece?
- If it's from you.
- Put some labenah on it.
- It fell off the fork.
- Put some labenah on it, please.
- Okay.
At last, I got to see Mido laughing.
Thank God.
I don't want to see you
angry in the morning again.
- Okay?
- No, don't worry.
I think we need to spend
more time together in the coming days
to understand
each other's personalities better.
And the coming days will show
if things is gonna go well or not.
Let's hope for the best.
HAJAR AND SIMO
I'm excited to have breakfast with Simo.
I will get to see his mood in the morning.
Is he cheerful or not? Does he pout?
Here comes the beautiful lady.
- Hello.
- Good morning.
Do you have any questions?
Did you find out if I'm good
on the inside?
Not yet, but we shall see.
I opened up to you.
- No.
- I did.
Try to ask me questions I can answer.
What is forbidden for you?
- Back home.
- Nothing is forbidden.
- Can your wife go out by herself?
- No.
- See? This is not allowed.
- It's not forbidden. It's normal.
Why would my wife
have a night out without me? Why?
- why she will go alone?
- I feel that you have trust issues.
Hats off!
Can't wait, honestly.
DOUNIA AND CHAFIC
Hi! Are you okay?
- Yes, and you?
- Good.
I found Dounia from the first day.
We're getting closer day by day.
Thank God, everything,
it's more than okay.
How was your night?
Did you have any dreams?
I dreamed of you.
It's white as well. A white flower.
Are you excited
that we'll see them all today?
Okay. I know that one of the girls
tried to be flirty with you.
He told me he spoke to her in the pod,
and she tried to flirt with him
and to be friendly with him.
And I can't stand that at all.
Also, he hasn't seen her physique yet.
And let's not lie.
She has the physique standard
and a perfect body.
I'm ready to punch.
If anything happens today,
I'll sharpen my horns.
My diabolical horns will appear.
I'm dead serious. I don't know.
FIRST GROUP GATHERING
Everybody's having fun
in this nice and happy vacation
in this wonderful place.
Let's complete these lovely vibes today
with the first gathering
of all the couples.
They'll be moving to a new phase today,
and will test the strength of their love.
Could this first meeting
strengthen their emotions more?
Or it might stir feelings of regret,
or it might be a chance to prove
that love can be truly blind
and can face all challenges.
I'm going to meet everybody today.
I'm excited to see
who stayed in this experience.
And if everybody's happy
with the person they chose or not.
Honestly, I'm not curious to see anyone.
But I want them to see what they missed.
Welcome.
- Ammar!
- Karamella!
- Hello!
- Let me introduce you. Ammar.
Let me greet you first. Hello.
Hi. Safa. Nice to meet you.
- Hi, how are you?
- How are you?
Karma and Ammar look lovely together.
They're both wonderful.
Simo.
What's this?
- Who's that model coming down?
- The boss is here!
- Hello, Ammar.
- Hello, boss.
Look at you, boss!
Massimo, Massimo!
- Hi, how are you?
- Hi, dear. How are you?
- Very good.
- Simo. Nice to meet you.
- Hi.
- Hello, how are you? I'm Ammar.
My friend! My friend!
My friend!
- Hi!
- Dounia, I miss you, sweetheart!
Chafic, this is Hajar.
- Hi. How are you?
- I'm Chafic. How are you?
Chafic, seeing him, he's not for me.
He's much younger than me.
I'm much older than him.
Let me say hi to the queen.
- How are you?
- How's everything?
I'm fine, how are you?
- Mido.
- Who is it?
- Hi, princess.
- My dear!
- How are you?
- Hello.
How are you? Hello.
- Ammar. Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
Nour came and said hi
to all the guys and girls, except me.
This is Chafic.
- Hi. How do you do?
- Hi, how are you?
I felt that Mido is nervous about
the fact that he's with Nour.
She's a bit out of his league.
Let's see. He will either fly with her
or he will stay broken on the ground.
I want to explain something.
That girl over there
I think
We messaged each other
on Instagram a long time ago.
It happened a long time ago.
I don't remember anymore.
She didn't say hi.
I didn't want to say hi.
I don't know
if it was because of the book,
because she said hi to everybody
and ignored me.
Wait. Does she recognize you?
I don't know. It was a long time ago.
I don't know if it's her or not,
but her face looks familiar, you see?
Take care of Karma
because her heart is so kind, I swear.
- You're so sweet.
- Ask her.
- She's wonderful, I swear.
- You're so nice!
Karma doesn't leave Ammar's side.
You're so handsome and manly, my love!
I'm seeing love and passion.
Love in the air.
So, I want to take
some inspiration from them.
How did you get to this stage?
Give me some hints.
I feel that Hajar
is the other version of me.
I feel like she's my soulmate.
- Why is that?
- I don't know, I feel she's too much.
She's too much.
She doesn't sit next to him.
She leaves every ten minutes.
Stand still,
'cause you have, like
I told you had a stain.
Turn around.
- I don't see any stains.
- I already cleaned it.
Why on earth
would you tell Nour to turn around
to see if her dress is dirty?
I already took care of it.
- Come on.
- Don't say "come on."
I felt it was disrespectful,
even if he didn't mean it like that.
- If I did that
- Don't be silly.
The fact that
you asked her to turn around
Now you have trust issues.
Do you want me to
look like a fool in front of the others?
I'm worried about your best friend.
You should be happy.
Make a scene or shut up?
You took it this way.
But it's not meant to be.
That wasn't my intention.
I didn't do nothing. Are you stupid?
Her dirty dress is none of your business!
I didn't mean that.
My intentions weren't bad.
You're open-minded, no?
But I have red lines.
I don't accept anyone disparaging me,
'cause I'm here and people ascend to me.
Don't downgrade me.
I stomp on the guys,
the guys don't stomp on me.
- Hi.
- Hi, how are you?
I'm fine, and you?
I'm great.
Why you didn't say hi to me, like, there?
Why didn't say good day?
No, I did.
I swear, I said, "Hi" for everyone.
No, you shook hands
for everyone except me.
- Really?
- Yeah, he told you to give him
Believe me, I didn't do that on purpose.
I'm innocent, I swear.
You really weren't speaking Arabic
with your parents at all?
No, because we mostly
speak French in Senegal.
I have this problem.
Sometimes, I say, "I",
sometime, I say, "Me".
If this makes you
feel comfortable, like, just say it.
- You don't have to care about people.
- We say, "Me."
It's very cute when you say it,
trust me. I swear.
I swear, you look
very familiar to me. I don't know.
Right? We met before somewhere?
- Right?
- Yeah.
- It's such a small world.
- Yeah.
Really.
I'm about to pass out!
Lord, give me patience!
Really.
Her laugh can be heard
from here to Pakistan.
So, for me, this isn't I don't like it.
- How about you?
- No, me, I'm very happy. Thank God.
No, it's just like
Okay, I'm happy. Better?
Here you go, that's great.
There's a clear friendship
between Nour and Chafic.
Yes, dear.
I think we're arguing a little.
Like we have some
Yeah, things we're not
on the same page about.
There was some dust
on Nour's dress and I wiped it off.
Then he told her, "Turn around."
And she was embarrassed.
And he said,
"Turn around. There's nothing."
- I hate that. I'm gonna cringe.
- I was like, "I already cleaned it."
- Yeah.
- Why did he get involved in this?
I did it. Shut up.
Even if it's dirt, shut up if you see it.
Or tell me to clean it.
- You know?
- You're right.
If he doesn't bring his ego down a notch
Dounia was next to me.
I say, "Help me, God."
My heart was doing this, I swear.
- Did Dounia hear that?
- I don't know. I was here, Dounia here.
It would be a problem if she heard you.
- Hi, how are you?
- I'm fine, and you?
You and I didn't talk much in the pod.
What do you regret the most
about this experiment?
- I'm trying to know who.
- I don't respect such people.
- It's not me.
- You're right.
There are guys that were talking,
and I didn't respect this.
Everyone knows everything, but
- Really?
- I don't think, yeah.
I get you. I understand.
I was talking to Simo, and he said
that some people knew each other.
I told him at 4:00,
and he told Dounia at 4:15!
- I got scared.
- This is unacceptable.
Why did you tell her? Why?
Why are you angry? He's crazy.
you and I were saying
that some people here don't like us.
But she asked, "How was your experience?"
So, I said what Nour said.
I told her that some guys
were already talking
to the girls before the experiment.
He's young, 26 years old.
And he's immature.
Chafic, why did you take that personally?
- No, you can't go and tell her
- But it wasn't against you.
- We were talking about the experience.
- What experience?
- You want to talk to my fiancée
- Why are you angry?
Why are you angry?
Look around you.
I was talking about the experience.
Do you know someone?
You don't know anybody.
You're insane.
- I don't understand.
- You're getting angry for nothing.
You're 35 years old,
and you're acting like a child!
You are the child. You are the child.
You're insane, I swear.
You're getting angry.
You're making a scene.
Could someone translate for us?
That's enough.
- Are you telling the truth?
- Don't mind him.
Let him say whatever he wants.
Chafic, you're getting angry.
You're a kid.
- I'm just repeating what you said!
- Cut it out, Chafic!
You're an asshole.
You're getting angry for nothing.
Call me an asshole
when we get out of here.
That's enough. Cut it out.
You keep getting angry.
Enough is enough.
Calm down, enough!
I swear on my mother's life,
I will kick your ass.
Piss off!
I swear on my mother's life,
I will kick your ass.
I respect everybody,
but I will kick your ass.
I love that you're just relaxing here.
That's none of my business.
Why would I interfere?
Right.
We had a problem a while ago
and he didn't apologize to me.
Why would I interfere?
Let him have his face-off.
I don't understand anything.
I don't know why they're fighting.
Ammar, please.
Don't try to calm me down.
I'm Moroccan, I can calm myself down.
He disrespected me.
We're both men. Let's go outside.
I'll show him, I swear.
I'll teach him a lesson.
