WRITTEN BY DR. AHMED KHALED TAWFIK
I will never forget the first time
I saw the Al Khadrawy house.
You have to be a good boy, Ibrahim.
I finally managed to find this job.
I don't want to get fired because of you.
MANSOURA, 1910
This way.
I found it strange that Mr. Al Khadrawy
himself showed us around the house.
Listen, Om Ibrahim,
this is the living area
and the dining room.
This is the guest room.
You're going to sleep here.
This is the kitchen.
This is the chimney.
We don't use it.
This is Hamdeya, the household manager.
She knows all the rules.
And in this house,
noise and chatter are prohibited.
Didn't I tell you
that the master doesn't like noise?
I'm really sorry, Mother.
-What's that?
-Stop messing around. Go to your room.
Here it comes again!
It's nothing.
Don't you dare say
that you heard something.
Om Ibrahim,
Nargis hasn't finished her food.
I'm full.
I said leave the plate!
I'm hearing that sound again.
Be quiet. Follow me.
Follow me.
Didn't I tell you to stay downstairs?
Bismillah! Who are you?
I am Shiraz.
Would you like to play with me?
The master is kind.
Anyone else would have killed them both.
Forget about it. God is forgiving.
How long will he keep her locked up?
If something happens to her,
he'll be responsible.
It will be her father's responsibility.
He's the one who ran away.
And her mother,
who had a child out of wedlock.
Boy! What are you doing there?
I'm sorry.
I thought that you were a demon.
Mother says only demons live underground.
You were the one knocking, right?
Yes, I have to knock
whenever I need something.
I know that your grandpa locked you up.
Don't tell anyone that you saw me.
If grandpa finds out, he'll kill me.
Would you like some berries?
-This is the sea in Alexandria.
-What is a "sea"?
A large body of water surrounded by sand.
Have you been there?
No.
Mother said that I can go there
when I'm old enough.
Shut up!
Shut it!
Shut it!
Don't cry.
I want to get out of here.
Can you please help me?
I'll do anything for you.
Anything?
I did what you told me.
Someone will surely come now
to let you out.
Shiraz!
Shiraz!
Shiraz, no!
Shiraz!
Shiraz, no!
Shiraz!
Shiraz!
Ibrahim!
Ibrahim!
Ibrahim, don't leave me!
Ibrahim!
Ibrahim…
-Let her out!
-Ibrahim.
Ibrahim, don't leave me!
Shiraz!
Let her out, Mother!
Let's go!
What are you doing? I need my daughter.
You're my daughter too. I can't leave you!
Let her out!
Ibrahim, don't leave me!
Don't leave me, Ibrahim!
Ibrahim!
Don't leave me, Ibrahim!
Shiraz!
Shiraz!
Shiraz…
There was no one with that name
in the house, understand?
Ibrahim, help me!
Ibrahim, help me!
I've been saving money all my life
just so I can buy this house…
and bury her.
Maybe she would forgive me
for leaving her there.
But when I bought the house,
it seemed that
there was no basement at all.
When I heard that you see her,
I asked myself
why she never appeared to me.
I realized that she doesn't want me to
because she thinks I've abandoned her.
I had no other option but to die like her.
Perhaps, she would forgive me.
Look for her.
Maybe you can find her…
and do what I've failed to do.
HOW TO GET RID OF SHIRAZ?
HOW TO SAVE SHIRAZ?
He used to say that he wishes
to die young to spare me his burden.
I always said
that he will outlive every one of us.
My darling.
May his soul rest in peace.
I used to yell at him
because I was worried about him.
He was like a child, just like Taha.
Now I'm like a child without him.
I miss him. I need him so much!
Oh, Talaat!
It is done.
Raeefa, we couldn't find Refaat anywhere.
It's nothing! I haven't seen anything!
Refaat's 55th law.
"Everything seems normal
until Refaat Ismail touches it."
I was in this room before.
Where did he go?
I hope nothing bad happened to him.
Take it easy. He's probably
with his woman, hanging out somewhere.
Taha! What's wrong? Why did you scream?
Nothing.
What do you mean "nothing"?
"Dear Refaat, I hope the tarot was wrong."
"And that you did not lose
any of your loved ones."
"Sending you the last tarot card
which I did not have time to read."
"No need to worry.
The card symbolizes home."
"Maybe the tarot card
is telling you to return home,
which you must have done already.
Send me your news."
"Regards, Louis."
May I speak to Dr. Refaat?
Howaida?
I'm at the office. Refaat is not here.
We thought he might be with you.
Do you know where he went?
-We couldn't find him anywhere.
-No, I don't.
Please, let us know if you hear anything.
We're at Raeefa's place.
Taha, are you okay?
Raeefa!
I came in and found him drawing these.
What are these drawings, Taha?
Did you see her again?
-Taha, answer me!
-What nonsense are you talking about?
That's the Al Khadrawy house.
Stop the nonsense. The boy has just
lost his father, and he's hallucinating.
You repeated the story
until he believed it.
Just like when he was trying
to jump off the roof.
Let's assume that he believed the story,
but how did he draw the house?
He never saw it.
I saw her too
on the day I was hospitalized.
What?
What does that wench want from us?
Reda. He made us swear
never to go and see her again.
And Talaat… She must be the one who--
This means Shiraz wants the kids
who have played with her in the past.
She wants to kill us one by one?
We're the only ones left.
Whose turn will it be now?
Refaat. He must have gone to that house.
Elham, can you please shut up
so we can figure out what to do?
We have to go
to the mansion and save Refaat.
Have you lost your mind?
You want us to go to her?
You think she can't come to you here?
If you're scared, then stay with the kids.
Watch your mouth, Raeefa. I'm not afraid.
You are!
You always pretend to be brave,
but you're the first to run.
Do I do that, Raeefa? May God forgive you!
Let's go to
the Al Khadrawy house to get Refaat.
I hope we can return this time.
Let's go.
Refaat's 65th law.
"The disappearance of the monster
is scarier than the monster itself."
Ready or not?
-Not yet!
-Not yet!
Ready or not?
-Not yet!
-Not yet!
Hide your tail feathers, birdie!
I caught you, Refaat!
Come out, guys!
As usual, Refaat can't play hide and seek.
Refaat is it!
Ready or not?
Ready or not?
Ready or not?
If I had known that hide and seek
will be crucial to me one day,
I would've focused on it
more than medicine.
This is the perfect life
for a hero of Greek mythology.
Just like Sisyphus.
Every time he reaches the mountaintop,
the rock rolls back down.
Every time I find a solution,
it turns out wrong.
But Sisyphus tricked the god of death.
Now, Refaat,
what have you done?
The fountain
is the only thing left in place.
All this time, all you wanted
from me was to save you.
How stupid of me!
I didn't understand.
Refaat!
What? Why are you here?
We came to look for you.
We couldn't leave you alone.
-Is she going to kill us?
-Did you see her, Refaat?
Don't worry. She will not appear
to anyone ever again. Follow me!
The…
Raeefa!
Elham!
Raeefa!
Refaat!
Refaat!
Help me, Refaat!
How did you get up there?
Help! I'm going to die!
Don't move! The rope won't hold!
It will break and you will fall.
Wait.
Hurry up!
Hurry up, Refaat!
Come on, Refaat!
Refaat!
Refaat!
What should I do, Refaat? Please help me!
Elham…
Stand still. Movement provokes them.
I'm so scared, Refaat!
Do something!
Don't move!
Elham!
Refaat! Help!
Raeefa!
-Help me, please!
-Don't be scared!
I will help you.
Raeefa.
Raeefa.
Raeefa!
Come down, Refaat.
Leave me be, Maggie.
I have to die just like they did.
Raeefa, Elham, and Medhat.
They're dead.
-There's no one here, Refaat.
-They're dead.
These must be hallucinations.
I dug up Shiraz's body,
but her soul refuses peace.
I don't get it!
I'm going crazy.
Someone wants me to lose it, Maggie.
Calm down, so you can think clearly.
If you have indeed found the corpse,
then why is this happening?
You made him catch me.
The berry bag
was visible from behind the curtain.
I tried to help you, but you're stupid!
Shiraz! Wait!
Shiraz…
Shiraz was…
trying to help me all this time.
Shiraz!
Refaat, I tried, but he didn't leave me.
He turned me into a freak.
I prevented you
from taking the corpse to the wrong place.
I led you to the cave.
You made Taha stand on the railing?
I wasn't going to let him die.
I waited for you to follow him,
but you didn't want to see me.
I had to do that. I tried to warn you.
I wrote "death" on the wall.
DEATH
I tried to warn Howaida
and untied Reda so he could save you.
The nightmare
is locking you up in the maze.
Haven't you wondered
how you woke up every time?
Refaat!
The maze is your mind.
Never give up on it, Refaat.
Your mind
is more important than you think.
Why didn't you warn me?
Why didn't you say that
from the beginning?
I couldn't talk to you while I was
locked up in the basement, Refaat.
I thought it was you.
Who's behind all this then?
Lucifer.
Lucifer?
The devil?
Goodbye, Refaat!
Shiraz…
Shiraz, wait.
I can't! The price I have to pay
for talking to you…
is that I will perish forever.
We can't be together, Refaat.
But I will keep loving you…
forever.
Maggie.
Maggie.
Are you a relative, sir? Everyone knows
that this place is haunted. God, save us.
SHIRAZ AL KHADRAWY
All those years,
people denied her presence…
Including me.
This is the least I can do to repay her.
Let me carry it, sir. Welcome.
Are you Dr. Refaat?
No, I'm not.
Do you know when he'll be back?
My house is haunted,
and I was told
that he is an expert at this.
I will tell him when he comes.
Who are you then?
You look like his picture
in the newspaper.
I am a ghost.
Are you sure you don't want me
to drive you to the airport?
You know how I hate goodbyes.
I will see you soon.
You still want to see me?
We survived this time.
Who knows what will happen next time?
Tell her to wait.
Tell her that you love her.
I wish you a comfortable flight.
What?
Do you still believe
I say the opposite of what I think?
You won't be Refaat otherwise.
But I no longer want
to guess what's on your mind.
The only solution is for you to speak up.
When you can speak up,
Scotland isn't far away.
Refaat Ismail,
professor and doctor of blood diseases,
and a big ass.
I will never stop loving you, Maggie.
Until stars burn out and worlds disappear.
Howaida, I don't know what to say.
I'm sorry.
For what?
For everything.
For being the reason
for your suffering and for my attitude.
I know that my attitude
could be the worst.
There's no need for that, Refaat.
You couldn't love me, and that's okay.
If we could control our hearts,
everyone would have been happy.
Maggie visited me a few days ago…
and gave me this ring.
She said it doesn't fit her size.
It doesn't fit my finger as well.
It was too tight,
but I was too shy to say it.
Now I'm not.
Take good care, Refaat.
Lucifer himself!
What does he want my mind for?
I should be proud!
It seems my mind
has what it takes to rule the world.
Unfortunately, I don't know what it takes.
It is the biggest proof
that I'm the most
unlucky person in the world.
Weird!
Weird!
What's the matter, Refaat?
It always takes you
an eternity to open the door!
How are you?
Enough!
Can I tell you a secret, Uncle Refaat?
But don't tell anyone.
I won't.
The girl with the white dress
no longer appears to me.
Her name is Shiraz, Taha.
Shiraz Al Khadrawy.
Ready or not?
-Not yet!
-Not yet!
Ready or not?
-Not yet!
-Not yet!
Ready or not?
-Not yet!
-Not yet!
Ready or not?
-Not yet!
-Not yet!
Ready or not?
"Dear Refaat, if you're reading this,
you must be still alive,
which always makes me happy."
"I'm sending you a small gift."
"No more games, dear."
"Maybe other games that are more fun."
The maze is your mind.
Never give up on it, Refaat.
Louis is Lucifer?
Refaat's first law after an amendment.
"The paranormal…
surely exists."
Ready or not?
-Not yet!
-Not yet!
Ready or not?
-Not yet!
-Not yet!
Ready or not?
-Not yet!
-Not yet!
Ready or not?
Ready or not?
-Not yet!
-Not yet!
