- What's wrong?
- I don't know dad.

What are you doing?

The brake doesn't engage.

I don't know.
I'm afraid they've damaged it.

- It doesn't engage.
- Try again!

- Try again!
- I did. It's not working.

Be careful! Watch it!

How are you colonel?

How are you?

Come here. Are you all right colonel?

Please have a seat.

Have a seat.

Well?

We would've never thought
things would get this far.

That some followers of Shah

would destroy Mosaddegh's house like that.

Extremism always comes to a bad end.

You went too far.

Why did you k*ll innocent people?

In fact, we realized when things
had already been out of control.

Or maybe something more powerful
was involved. I don't know.

It was supposed to be a protest rally

from Mokhberodoleh to the parliament.

- But then people got out on their own.
- On their own!

Do you know how much money was spent
to get those people out in the streets?

Sir!

Prime Minister

Prime Minister Zahedi is aware that

how you supported His Majesty.
- Thank you.

In fact, I am here to

give you his warmest regards.

Thank you.

And moreover, he has ordered
the minister of commerce

to offer you the monopoly
of textile imports.

-
- Excuse me colonel.
- Thank you.

- Please help yourself.
- Sure.

Excuse me.

There's a cure for your madness.

- You're insane!
- I'm insane?

Yes, I'm insane or I wouldn't keep quiet
when you flirted with other women.
- Stop talking my head off Shirin!
- Get out of here.

I'm fed up with you.

Hello uncle.

Hello.

You two are fighting like
cat and dog again?

?
Join the guests.

What do you need?

- Double sixes.
- Double sixes.

There we go!

Hello ma'am.

Hello ma'am.

Excuse me.

Having fun?

Why are you sitting alone darling?

This is my last song!

I'm still waiting for that thing.

What happened?

Leave it to me.

I can take care of it.

It's actually a new opportunity
for expressing devotion.

You guys couldn't even take care of
an old man under a blanket.

You turned to th*gs and hooligans.

How can I leave it to you?

You take me for a fool?

Don't say that sir.

I would never dare.

I don't mean to blow my own trumpet sir.

But I want you not to compare
me with the others.

During these two years

I've been able to make a fine distinction.

It was all trickery.

Otherwise, why would it take so many years

to take care of a case of m*rder

regarding your family?

-
- What was the name of that drug addict?
- Torab.

- Yes, Torab! I need to see him.
- Sure.

Help yourself.

Excuse me.

Stupid hypocrite!

It's like a miracle.

God had mercy on us.

I thought we lost our daughter.

I don't know what happened
all of a sudden.

- Why are you laughing?
- No special reason.

Is that a crime?

Girls who are always smiling

are not welcome in heaven.

Shahrzad is a wise girl.

Wise and smart.

She's realized someone has
finally come to her rescue.

I don't know.

God's will.

Whatever God wills.

This boy could not make Shahrzad happy.

When did I tell you that?

When Farhad started playing
hard to get

. . .?
or somehow?
- Ignoring her!

Yes. I was afraid he'd change his
mind and leave our daughter.

I was afraid he'd ruin the marriage.

I told you someone has finally
come to her rescue.

Now she's becoming Bozorg's
daughter-in-law. What a contrast!

It's so kind of him

to choose an engaged girl for his boy.

I just don't like Ghobad so much.

I don't want Shahrzad to
be his second wife.

Things that you say, woman!

Reza Shah had three wives.

I married only one but that's a long story.

Quit it Jamshid.
Such a shame.

Where are you going?


It's not 11 yet!

I have to go to college to
choose my new courses.

You're not feeling well today.
Leave it for later.

I can't mother.
I must go today.

Goodbye.

I'll give you a lift honey.

- I'm going with my friend Farzaneh. You know her.
- Yes, Farzaneh!

I'm going with her.

All right. Take care then.

Bye.

What was I saying?

?
Yes.

They say Fath-Ali Shah had
three hundred wives.

Poor thing!

What's gotten into you today, Jamshid?

Take it easy woman!

I'm listening.

No beating around the bush.

Director and forward.

Get to the point.

There was this evening.

We were drinking.

As soon as he got drunk

he started

telling everything.

He kept going and going

or I wouldn't know these things.

I said no beating around the bush.

Get to the point.

Aslan, the gunner

wanted you all dead.

You, your wife and your kids.

He hired a guy who made a plan for him.

Apparently he'd planned his
previous nasty jobs as well.

So he agrees to

damage the brake.

It was the same day you and
your family were going on a trip.

Yeah.

That was how a car with a damaged brake
and a full tank went down a valley!

And you know the rest.

A downhill, a valley and BOOM!

Done.

What was his name?
Tell me the guy's name.

He's a miserable guy, sir.
More miserable than me.

Give me his name!
Give me his name!

Colonel Teymouri told me I just
had to tell you what happened.

To hell with Colonel Teymouri!

I want the guy's name.

He's a miserable guy, sir.

You could get even more miserable.

Tomorrow at this hour

your wife and three sons could depart this life.

What's their fault, sir?

Your call!

Teymouri?

Yes sir?

Zia.

Zia who?

Kalebozorgi.

Zia Kalebozorgi.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- It's like
- I

- You go first.
- No, you go ahead.

It's like I haven't seen you
for a hundred years.

I was going to say the same thing.

I missed you with all my heart.

So did I.

That makes us even!

I have a lot to tell you Shahrzad.

I'm afraid I can't finish once I start.

Maybe you shouldn't start at all.

I'm afraid it won't have a happy ending.

- Are you mad at me?
- Well I am.

Maybe I can make it up to you
if you let me talk to you.

Maybe yes maybe no.

When will the cafe open?

At 11. Now it's 9.

Why did you arrive so early?

- It was you who were late.
- I've been here since 8.

The military guys didn't let me park here.
So I left and came back.

If I had a choice, I'd be
waiting here since last night.

The other night when my dad?

You thought I'd leave and wouldn't
look over my shoulder?

But I didn't hear from you.

- Shahrzad, I have an idea.
- What is it?

- Let the cafe open.
- You mean we should sit here for two hours?

Someone may see us.
My father, or yours.

Or one of Bozorg's guys.

- I'm afraid the military guys pick on us.
- We're not doing anything ill*gal.

You're my fiance.

- Aren't you?
- What are you saying? Of course I am.

So we're just talking here.

- Yes?
- Get out of here.

Okay.

Let's go somewhere safe Farhad.

Let's go to Saeedeh.

- To the tailor's shop?
- Yes.

She has no customer this
early in the morning.

Let's go there and talk.

- Hello.
- Hello. Why don't you come in?

- Pardon our interruption.
- It's okay.

Come in Shahrzad.

Come in Farhad. Don't be shy.

- Sorry.
- No problem. Welcome here.

You can sit here and talk.

I'll bring you tea and cookies.

No thanks Saeedeh.
We have to go soon.

As you wish.

- Are they customers ma'am?
- No, they're acquaintances.

- You get back to work.
- Okay.

I thought it was easy to say but it's not.

- So let me start.
- Yeah. That's better.

I will never forget this day

even if all the people in the world do.

I know you were arrested
and sentenced to death.

But you could stop talking to
the whole world but me.

I didn't know where I was standing.

One day you spoke to me.
The other day you didn't.

Look Shahrzad.

We can talk about these things later.

That what we both went through

and how heartbroken we were.

But I asked to see you because
of something more important.

Something very important.

I've thought a lot.

If we choose to stay here

we'll have to do as the others say.

But we can

leave this place.

It's true they've imprisoned us.

But they haven't blocked
the escape way.

What does that mean?

Should we run away?

If we don't, you'll have to become
Bozorg's daughter-in-law.

What do you say?

Right on.

That's the way to go.

- Monsieur?
- Yes dear?

Here's your tip.

Way to go bro!

What's wrong?
Feeling sick?

Please bring me some water.

- Such bad taste in my mouth.
- I'll get you some water.

Right away!

Make a move and you're a dead man.

Shut up and move.

Take him Hassan.

Go.

Go.

- Did you like the food?
- Yes Jamshid.

- Thank you very much.
- You're welcome. Thanks for coming.

- Thank you.
- The food was perfect.

- I'll be glad to see you again.
- Thanks a lot.

Delicious as always.

Glad you liked it.

Well!

You can clean up tomorrow morning.

Change your clothes and leave.

Yes sir.

Don't play innocent.

You better talk.

It's for your own good.

Talk!

He's here.

Hold your head up.

Hold your head up.

I'm listening.

Mr. Bozorg!

For the sake of your one and only daughter.

Please forgive me.

Sir, I beg you to forgive me.

I hear you.

If you tell me the truth

I will let you go.

Look at me.

Two years ago

in front of that teahouse

who damaged the brake of my car?

- I didn't do anything sir.
- Answer him.

Hurry up.

Aslan, the gunner.

It was him behind all that.

He had my wife, my life and everything.

He forced me to do it.

Mr. Bozorg.

I swear on my child's life that I'm innocent.

Please forgive me.

Don't make my child an orphan.

- Rajab?
- Have mercy on me.

Yes sir?

Have mercy on me.

- Give him a cigarette.
- Yes sir.

Have mercy on me sir.

- Jamshid?
- Yes sir?

Have mercy on me.

Smoke your cigarette.

How is Farhad?

What can I say?

It's the story of an unfinished
carpet fallen off the loom.

I understand how he feels.

Very well.

He's been so devastated.

He has no alternative but surrender.

- Hello sir.
- It was Aslan.

Didn't you know?

I just made sure.

Okay.

I'll take care of him too.

Did you talk to your kids
about the decision I made?

Yes sir. It's okay.

Job done, sir.

You can go.

- Okay.
- Let's go guys.

Get rid of him and leave no trace.

Let me take care of it.

It's not good for your heart.

Go beside.

Hashem!

About the other day.

I didn't mean anything
by what I said.

You know we can't say no to Bozorg.

We can't let him down.

That's fine.

You're the man!

You too.

I just hate to

let my friends down.

We're fine.

I adore you Hashem.

- I have to see him today.
- But you didn't have an appointment with Mr. Bozorg.

Yes, but I know he's here.
Let me see if he'd accept you.

Have a seat.

Overjoyed, aren't you?

- You think you're going be the lady of this mansion?
- Hello.

No miss. That's not true.

My dad would never let you set foot
in this house without my consent.

Let alone move in here!

It's not going to last long.

You'll have to leave in a year whether
you give birth to a baby or not.

I told you that so you wouldn't
get above yourself.

Hello my lady.

Please go in ma'am.

Hello

Why did you come here?

I don't want my daughter to think another
lioness has invaded her territory.

?
Whenever you had business with me

call me and we'll meet somewhere else.

We'll talk somewhere else.

I'm not a lioness.

I neither want a territory nor tend to
invade another lioness's.

I just want you to leave me alone.

There are a lot of girls in this city.
Why me?

You could choose anyone you
wanted for your son-in-law.

I chose you.

Is it true my father has asked that from you?

Cut it out, girl.

In old days, men and women saw
each other on their wedding nights.

Including myself!
And I was so happy.

Why do you insist that

your life is extraordinarily different from
others' which should not be wasted?

Girl should marry those chosen by their fathers.

Do you want me to marry your son-in-law
when my heart is with someone else?

I don't care about your heart.

Your heart goes right while life goes left.

And they'll never reach one another.

Keep your heart to yourself.

Marry the one your father and I tell you.

You gave Farhad his life so you
could take it from him again.

Not at all.

Men are forgiving.

You will see.

What's going on in your head?

There are so many girls out there.

Why me?

One day you will know.

The day you come to your senses.

Now go home

And get ready for the wedding.

The wedding ring and the robe will be
sent to your place in the afternoon.

Go with God.

Wipe off your tears.

Malmal.

My lady.

- Hello.
- Hello.

Mr. Bozorg said hello and
sent you this robe.

- Thank you.
- Don't mention it.

- Come in for a tea.
- No thank you.

- Goodbye.
- Hello.

- Hello Parvin.
- Hello.

- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

- Hello sir.
- Hello.

Wait.

Have a sip uncle.

- Drink with me colonel.
- Why did you take the trouble?

That's fine.

- Will you dismiss me uncle?
- Yes, do your job.

Anything you need colonel?

- No thank you.
- Excuse me.

Thank you.

I was saying.

They've left him somewhere out of the city.

Near the hills in Abbasabad.

They hanged him.

Very neatly and without a trace.

Keep playing Teymouri.

Rumor has it that

No offence of course.

Rumors has it that

Mr. Bozorg's people

could be involved in this.

Why don't you go ask themselves?

Ask who?

My people.

I don't mean no offence.

I just meant to make this point.

Some people have spread rumors like

there's a connection between

the victim who was Aslan, the gunner's man

and your family's car crash that
happened a few years ago.

You're being too curious Teymouri.

Don't get me wrong.

I just meant to say that if you

give us some evidence

we shall let the law take care of
Aslan, the gunner and his g*ng.

- You are a fine one to talk about law.
- You mean?

Listen Teymouri.

Stay out of this.

It's foredoomed.

I'll get it.

?
Hello?

Hello?

Phone harassers!

Leave that radio, man.
Too much noise.

Let me see what happened to
Mosaddegh and his people.

Boring!

Yes?

- Hello.
- Who is it?

It's my friend, Babak.

- Say hi.
- My mother says hi.

Babak? Aha!

I'm fine Saeedeh.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

I wanted to say that Tuesday is fine.

Yes, I have a class in the morning.

Should I leave home at 5?

Okay.

I'll bring it. You do that too.

All right. See you on Tuesday.

Okay, I'll pick you up early in the morning.

Just don't bring too many things.

Your birth certificate will be enough.

We need that for registering the newspaper.

All right.

Good night.

Bye.

Shahrzad?

Yes?

Mr. Bozorg has opened a calendar.

He has picked October 19.

For both the marriage ceremony
and the wedding.

Okay.

Congratulations.

Like father, like daughter.

And you are the apple of my eye, darling.

I'm going to bed. I'm tired.

Good night.

What?

Shahrzad, you?

I'll get it.

Hello?

Hello Saeedeh.

- How come you two talk to each other so much tonight?
- Cut it out mom. Pass me the phone.

What is it Saeedeh?
Why do you keep calling?

Yes.

Hold on.

Saeedeh.

Okay.

Yes, this Tuesday.

I have my heart in my mouth.
I wish I was as confident as Farhad.

I have no other choice.
I've tried every way.

If your heart tells you to go, then go.

Farhad is right.

You will come back when the dust settles.

Everything will be all right.

Yes darling.

No problem.
When you arrive there

there's a telegraph office.
Ask anyone and they'll show you where it is.

Let me know you're fine.

All right.

Go with God. No worries.

It's going to be fine.

Goodbye darling.

Bye.

Akram?

Yes ma'am?

I put your money on the table.
Did you take it?

I will.

- Do you want me to stay longer?
- No, we have no work to do. No customers.

I'll be gone in an hour.

Goodbye.

- Hello.
- Hello.

Who are you here to see, miss?

Excuse me.
I have an important message for Mr. Bozorg.

He's not home.

What is your message?

It's private. I must tell himself.

I told you he's not home.

Okay.

I have a letter.

-
- Will you give it to him please?
- Okay.

Thank you.

- Bye.
- Goodbye.

- Miss?
- Yes?

Whom should I tell him brought the letter?

My name is Akram.

I work in Saeedeh's tailor's shop.

Goodbye.

Bye.

- Move! Out of my way!
- Leave her alone.

God knows what's going on over there.

Hello Mehri.

Hello? Wait a minute.

Tell your dad to pay the rent

instead of smoking that damn thing.

Tell him not to get my back up.

Don't make me throw your things in the streets.

- Move! Out of my way!
- Leave her alone.

Take this. I'll give you the rest later.

This is for only a month.
What about the back rents?

Just give me some time.

Shut up! Where the hell have
you been till this late at night?

You just got on our nerve and now it's her turn?

Shut it!

Now you get an attitude?

You couldn't even give birth to a boy.

I wouldn't be like this if you did.

Why are you standing there staring at me?

- Get lost!
- Leave them alone.

Cat got your tongue?

- I asked, where have you been?
- I stayed in the shop to finish the works.

You take me for a fool?

Like I'm gonna fall for that!

Hey! I'm talking to you.

- I'll beat the hell out of you.
- Ashraf.

Give him this money.

I'll show you your addicted father
has mettle to show.

Nice!

God!

Akram is the only capable girl among you all.

Why do you give him the money?
He'll waste it all on drugs.

Shut up woman!
You've become so brazen lately.

Ashraf? No, Effat!

- Esmat? I'm talking to you Esmat!
- Yes dad?

Get a move on my girl.
Tell him the other one was bad quality.

Tell him to give you good stuff this time.
Good girl.

Go on my dear.

- But dad, I?
- Just go or I'll know what to do to you.

Leave her alone.

- I'm going with you.
- You don't need to, dear.

You go freshen up. I'll go with her.

Get lost, all of you.

I don't want any of you!

Just get me my drugs.

I just want Akram to stay.
It's only her that helps me.

You're always dear to me, Akram.

Don't be mad at me my dear.

Come sit with daddy.
Let's have a chat.

Come in.

Excuse me sir.

A girl named Akram brought this letter last night.
She works in the tailor's shop.

She insisted that I give it to you.

Here you are.

- You can go.
- Yes.

Take this. This one too.
Get the rope.

Passengers of Shiraz. Passengers of Shiraz.

Get in the van. It's late.

Hurry up.

Let's go Shahrzad.

What's wrong with you Shahrzad?

- I'm so anxious Farhad.
- Me too. It's natural.

What about my mother, Simin and the others?

You want us to go back home? You'll become
Bozorg's daughter-in-law and I'll get lost.

!?
- Farhad!
- What do you think we're doing here?

Let's go darling.

Shahrzad, without you even
heaven is hell for me.

Trust me.

Simin, go wake your sister up for breakfast.

- I tried to wake you up for Morning Prayer.
- Good morning.

- Morning.
- Good morning honey.

You didn't wake up.
You should pray it today.

You're a role model for these girls after all.

If you wake up, they will too.

Why has this clock stopped?

You're not even listening to me.

- Mother?
- Simin?

Mother!

Shahrzad!

Shahrzad what? She's unwell?

No, she's gone.

- What?
- What?

- Gone where?
- She's taken her clothes.

What are you talking about?

I'm serious. Her closet is open and
the small suitcase is missing.

I knew it.

- She's gone.
- Check if her birth certificate is there.

- Why shouldn't it?
- Go take a look.

Move.

Oh God!

Oh these are three!

Oh my God!

- What happened?
- It was not there.

Make a call and see if Hashem's son is home.
Go.

Get out of my way girl.
It's the end of us.

Oh God!

Hello Marzieh.

Sorry for disturbing you this early.

Back to life I am after all these deaths

Back home I am after all these doubts

Once more a window after all these countless walls

Trusting your eyes, trusting your eyes

After all these doubts

Tired of seeking you, tired of not finding you

Tired of smelling your scent, tired of your absence

Tired of breathing, tired of dying in you without you

Set my heart on fire, bring me back to life

Not too soon, not too late

Be my flame again for I shall not rest in the ground

Believe in this love

Come to my rescue, for in your eyes

I shall settle

Tired of breathing, tired of dying in you without you

Set my heart on fire, bring me back to life

Not too soon, not too late

Back to life again, I am

Back to life again
