Ladies and gentlemen
You have half an hour for breakfast
and easing the nature
Donít be late or Iíll be gone
Welcome Please come in
Thank you
- Anything else?
- No, thank you
Whereís your head?
Itís like a dream, a long one
You and I, here on the road to Shiraz
So lonely, just like strangers
Weíre together
Why lonely?
Iím not regretful, Farhad
Youíre saying this from the bottom of
your heart or just because of me?
Iím saying it from the bottom of my heart
I have no worries when Iím with you
I think my parents will finally forgive us
So will yours
They will send after us sooner or later
And we will ask for their forgiveness
Who would not like to see their sweet grandkid?
But that wonít happen anytime soon
Just saying
Youíre crazy
If I wasnít, what would I be doing here now?
Same here
Yeah
This is how you make an obedient educated girl
homeless out here
What happened?
They mustíve been up by now
If they find me gone
theyíll be worried sick
All troubles will be over once we marry each other
Sorry Iím still so worried
Weíll call them tonight and tell them everything
Weíll let them know tonight, okay?
How do we find a notary by tonight?
We need four eyewitnesses as well
Have your food
Weíll do something about it
Eat your food darling
Yes?
Excuse me Jamshid is here
He says itís an emergency
- Let him in
- Yes sir
- He may feel restrained before you
- Okay
- Hello
- Go ahead
I need your help sir
Hashemís son has kidnapped my daughter
Do something
Theyíve taken their birth certificates
with them as well
Iím afraid they do what they shouldnít
I searched all the places I could think of
Theyíve vanished from the face of the earth
Heís kidnapped your daughter by force?
Or she is the accomplice?
Things that you say Mr Bozorg!
Of course you have the right to humiliate me
You wanted to help my daughter settle down
You did us a favor but she was ungrateful
Iíve been so disgraced
How can I get rid of this shame now?
Poor her mother! Poor her sisters!
Iíd told you already
A girl should be educated enough to leave a signature
on her marriage contract and not a fingerprint
Itís enough if she can only write her name
- Sir!
- The rest is trouble
If I knew that was where
education would take her
I would never let her study
Sit down Donít worry, sheíll be found
But how Mr Bozorg?
We donít live in a small country
God knows where they are now
They could be in the north, south, east or west
Where could they be?
Where is Hashem in this hectic situation?
He too has been looking all over for them
He hasnít come here on purpose
He didnít want to ask for a favor again
So headstrong!
And his son is just like himself
I swear my daughter had never
been so shameless
Itís Hashemís son behind all this
- Why donít you go in?
- Iím good, thanks
- Come here
- Thank you Bozorg!
What a decent girl!
Thanks to my dear uncle
The girl has run away
Ghobad, just listen to me
What are you going to say?
See no evil, hear no evil
Behave in a way as if you know nothing
Now go to Shirin and be nice to her
- Just donít be around
- Leave me alone
Iím tired of being nice to everyone
- What about me?
- What about you?
Who has ever been nice to me
in this damn place?
Sheís so conceited
Someone must teach her a lesson
- Sit down Jamshid
- Sir, please do something
I said sit down
Okay
Yes?
Aha
- Ghanbar?
- Yes boss?
- Tell the passengers weíre leaving
- Okay
See if theyíre in the teahouse
Passengers of Shiraz, weíre leaving
Where are you off to?
Wait a minute
You two cutie pies will stay
The others can get in
What do you want from them?
Looking for trouble?
Shut up jerk!
Itís a matter of honor
Why donít you move?
Need to ease yourself or what?
You talk like that in front of
your own families too?
Donít talk to them Farhad
Look whoís talking about family!
What do you want?
Well, we need to know that
how this woman is related to you
Itís none of your business
We donít understand women
Open your mouth and tell us how
this woman is related to you
Itís not your concern
- Did you hear what he said?
- Stupid jerk!
You got to watch your mouth with Mali!
- Way to go!
- Right on
Where are you going beautiful?
This cutie pie can go wherever he wants
- What did you just call her?
- You didnít hear me?
I called her, beautiful
Leave him alone jerks!
Here we go!
How dare you hit me?
How dare you hit my boss?
Jerk!
Farhad!
Get in the car beautiful or
Iíll cut his head off
No! No!
- Get in the car or Iíll cut his head off
- No, please
- Get in the car
- I will
Take her
Get in the car
Give me her suitcase
Get in the car! Get in
Sit in the car
Look what they did to him
Get off the car sister
Last station
What?
What are you looking at?
- Take it girl
- Hello
Hello
Go inside
You too girl
- Girls shouldnít be out in the streets
- Okay
Where had you gone, auntie?
- Shahrzad, what was it that you did?
- Where have you been?
- You disgraced us in the neighborhood
- Shame on you
Such a shame!
- You didnít have to marry Ghobad
- Why donít you say anything?
- Why did you do that?
- Why donít you say anything?
- Why did you disgrace us?
- Calm down! Say something
Why donít you talk?
Calm down mother Itís okay
Itís below her dignity to talk to us!
What nerve!
Have you no shame?
Where is she going? Get her Homeyra
- Iím afraid she hurts herself
- What is it youíre doing Shahrzad?
- Who are you calling?
- Please donít! Please
- Look what sheís doing!
- Hashem
This is Shahrzad Listen to me
Thereís a teahouse on Tehran-Shiraz Road
Itís a two hour drive
Ghanbar Teahouse Farhad is there
- Heís been beaten up He needs help Please go there
- All right, hand it over
Have you no shame?
Did you see that mom?
She lifted a hand against me
Sheís forgotten Iím her older sister
- She has no shame
- Quit it Homeyra
- Oh God, itís Jamshid
- Itís okay mom
- Go to the room, all of you
- Okay mom Iíll get the door
- Iíll calm him down
- Okay, go
Get up Take her to the room Simin
Donít let her come out
Get out of my way
- Hello grandpa
- Say nothing!
Donít say anything to her dad
Sheís tongue-tied
- I donít know whatís happened to her
- Shut up and get out of my way
- Out of my way
- Please donít say anything to her
Go and play Dad, please!
- Sheís regretful
- Where is she?
- Calm down
- Where is she?
- Sheís learned her lesson
- Where is she?
Calm down! Itís a shame!
- Please!
- Beat me up to death
- I have nothing else to lose
- Shame on you
Yes, shame on me!
What is shame at all?
Until yesterday it was a shame if I didnít marry Farhad
Now itís all about marrying Bozorgís son-in-law
- What does this mean?
- Parvin!
Iíll pay for what Iíve done
- Go
- Shut your mouth
- Let me cut her tongue off
- Enough!
Sit down
Homeyra Homeyra
- Bring your dad a glass of water
- Okay mother
- Hurry up
- Right away
Quit it
Sheís not feeling so good
Sheís trembling all over
Youíll stay in that room till I find out what
youíve been up to since this morning
If I know sheís left that room
- Iíll get on my nasty side Got it?
- Okay
Sheís disgraced this family
- And sheís got an attitude!
- Here
Drink it up Cheeky girl!
This is what happens when you
listen to whatever she says
For me, everything was forbidden
Studying was forbidden!
Going out was forbidden
Dating was forbidden
But for Shahrzad nothing is forbidden
- This is where she is now
- Thatís enough Homeyra
Go check on your kid
Oh!
God! What was it that happened to us?
This way sir
Go in
Farhad?
Farhad?
Are you okay son?
What a mess!
Can you get up?
Let me help you Easy Easy
Are you in pain?
Give me your arm
What have you done to yourself, kid?
Can you walk?
Easy Easy
Good
Where do you think youíre going, kid?
They took Shahrzad
Calm down You donít need to talk
- Where did they take her?
- I said you donít need to talk Sheís safe
Be calm
Where is she now? I need to see her
Keep your ears open, you idiot!
What you did is called kidnapping
Itís the worst thing anyone could do
If Jamshid had any mettle to show,
heíd cut your head off
Maybe then he could save
his daughterís face
You understand?
You understand?
Let me make this clear
There has never been a girl named Shahrzad,
the daughter of Jamshid and Parvin
Imagine sheís never existed
Otherwise, we shall fall out
Farhad, this is serious
Do you understand?
Do you understand?
- Whoís done this to my brother?
- Close the door and come in
Oh my God!
Curse them!
Donít panic Itís okay
Heís fine
Heís been beaten up, but not good and proper
- Oh God!
- Cut it out
All right
Weíve been disgraced enough already
I donít want the neighbors to know
- Hypocrites!
- Put your hand here
Go bring some cotton
- Watch his head
- Easy
Oh God!
What was it that happened to us?
Come in
Hello sir
Hello sir
Hello
Where were you last night?
As you ordered
I went to Soheiliís ceremony
Otherwise, I have nothing to do with them
Soheiliís ceremony was over at 11 pm
This Soheili guy is such a silly man!
Heís reported on every single one of his guests
I wouldnít be bothered
Ghobad is not feeling so good sir
Forgive him
- The food he ate last night didnít agree with him
- Yes
He went to an acquaintanceís place
so Shirin wouldnít be disturbed
- Forgive him
- Good!
At least he knows he shouldnít
disturb his wife at midnight
Yes I thought I wouldnít disturb the poor thing
Stop it Stop it
Listen Both of you
I have a mission for you on the wedding night
I want Ghobad to be involved as well
Perfect!
Who could be better than Ghobad?
Sure
What is it I should do?
Iíll tell you
But not now
Iíll tell you when youíre sober
First recover from this damn thing
that made you sick last night
You can go now
Yes sir
- Uncle said wedding? Whose wedding?
- Iíll tell you
No, wait a minute
Excuse me uncle, I wanted to ask you that
after that cat-and-mouse game
which I didnít make heads or tails of
I thought everything was over
- Heshmat?
- Yes sir?
- Take this drunkard out of here and make him sober
- Okay
Letís go
Hello
Hello
Who are you?
Iím Farhad, Hashemís son
Oh yeah
Iíve come to talk to you man to man
Man to man?
Do you see any men in this cursed city?
I donít!
Look Ghobad
You and I had never talked
Weíve been neither friends nor foes
But now it seems that weíre rivals
Iím sure you donít want to marry a woman
who has no feelings for you
You have no feelings for her either
So step aside like a man
I will never forget this favor
What are you thinking fellow?
Mr Rival!
Donít fall for my appearance
I just look like a man or Iím nothing
but a scarecrow
Just like this
Get out of here
Wait
You mean you donít want to do anything?
I do
I just want to have fun
I want to have fun in all the
ceremonies out there
Farhad!
You seem to be a million miles away
You, me, your father and everybody else around Bozorg
are chess pieces on his board
Not kings or queens but pawns
I donít have the guts to fight him
Itís like fighting an army all by yourself
You too should give up
Take my advice
Workers should be neat and clean
They should serve healthy food
It canít go on like this
People need to know what theyíre eating
Isnít that true?
What if youÖ
Back to work
God!
- Hello
- Hello
Iím just here to know
why youíre doing this to me
Forget me
Why are you doing this to your daughter?
- Youíre here in my workplace
- to ask these stupid questions?
- I donít care about such things
But I have the right to know why youíre
trifling with mine and Shahrzadís life
All right Weíll talk in my office
What are you looking at?
Do your job
What?
Whatís your problem?
Now youíre getting an attitude?
If it wasnít for my old friendship with your father,
I would put you through hell, kiddo
You wear a pair of eyeglasses and
hold a few pieces of scrap papers
and you think youíre somebody!
- Get the hell out of here
- Jamshid!
I no longer want to see you anywhere
near me and my family
Otherwise, Iíll have to forget about my
old friendship and teach you a lesson
Get out
I havenít come here to argue with you Jamshid
Iím here to talk
Youíve been hiding your head in the sand and
donít know what youíre doing to your daughter
Whatís the price?
Whatís the price of this place or
the lands in Abbasabad?
Whatís the price of Shahrzad?
How much Bozorg is buying her for?
- Why are you selling her so cheap?
- Get out!
Donít make me pull your tongue out
Get out!
Get out!
Whatís going on Jamshid?
- Jamshid?
- Jamshid!
- Are you okay Jamshid?
- Whatís the matter?
- Itís okay Take me to hospital
- Get his car
Go on
Jamshid
Jamshid
Hello
- Hello Where is this boy?
- In his room
- Whatís going on again?
- Hello father
- Hello
- Take this
Hello
What are you doing?
Whatís gotten into you?
Keep your ears open, kid
Jamshidís daughter is dead from now on
Jamshidís daughter is dead!
Somebody tell me whatís going on
Whatís going on?
You didnít have the face to tell your mother, eh?
Your son has gone to Jamshid again
- And heís given him an earful
- Thanks to him!
Are you making a scene because
my son has mettle to show?
Theyíre taking his fiancÈ from him
Should he just stand there and watch?
He has mettle to show?
He almost gave Jamshid a heart attack
He was dying!
Weíre lucky heís still breathing
How many people are you gonna
get k*lled to come to your senses?
Farhad!
- Is he okay now?
- Okay or not
the girl doesnít even want to
speak with you
She said she wonít even return your greetings
again if anything happens to her father
You put her through hell!
You disgraced her
And then you wanted to get her father k*lled
If you love her so much, be a man and understand
It didnít happen no matter how hard you tried
So itís not meant to be
Just end this tomfoolery
- Are you okay son?
- Iím fine mother
I want to be alone
- A little more
- Thatís enough
- Itís good for you A little more
- Itís enough
Leave dad alone
- Give me some water, my mouth is dry
- Poor thing!
- Iíll get it
- No!
If you cared about dad so much,
you wouldnít do such things
Be seated
- Iíll get it
- No
It must be Heshmat He wants to
know when the wedding will be held
Iíll tell him youíre unwell and
it will be postponed
Come on!
Now heís even marrying a
runaway bride to his nephew
So strange!
Itís us who should stick to the groom
Who would marry a girl whoís
been engaged already
Sheís even run away once!
Here dad
My sister did the right thing
Itís nobodyís concern
She doesnít have to get married at all
She can stay here with us
Stay out of this
She has a finger in every pie!
Iím talking about Shahrzad not you
- I havenít changed my mind
- ìI havenít changed my mindî!
You want to give dad a heart attack?
Iím not marrying Ghobad no matter what!
Yeah, youíre one of a kind!
Thatís enough
Give the water to your dad little by little
Haste makes waste
Who was it mother?
- Thatís enough
- The guy hung up
- Heís been calling since morning
- Itís obvious who it is
Simin?
Thatís enough
Donít you want to file a case or
something against this boy?
What case, Hooshang?
Now youíre adding fuel to the fire?
Jamshid is fine
- The boy made a mistake and itís over
- Your call
- Dad, Mr Bozorg is here to give you a visit
- Really?
Parvin!
- What should I do? Relax, dad
- Letís go to the dining room
Okay dad
Take that out of here
Why are you sitting there?
Somebody get the door
Not you! You donít go to the door
Come on mom Go in
Youíre most welcome sir
You made us delighted
You didnít have to take the trouble
Weíd make preparations if you let us know
I wonít stay for long
But youíve come here after a long time
Please stay for dinner
- Weíll find something to eat
- Itís below his dignity Iím afraid
Please have your tea sir
Simin, bring the pastries
- How are you feeling?
- Fine, thank you
He survived it hopefully
Iím talking about the heart attack
His doctor said we owe that to you
Hashemís son finally vented his anger
Weíre lucky we got to know him
before becoming his relatives
Shahrzad, please serve our guest
You stay, girl
- Jamshid
- Yes sir?
Where can I have a word with your daughter?
Please come with me sir
You donít need to get up
Please sir
Oh God!
The room was a mess
- Weíre disgraced!
- Donít worry I cleaned it up this afternoon
Feeling better dad?
- What did Mr Bozorg want to tell her?
- I donít know
He must be telling her to forget
about Ghobad and marry Farhad
What can I say to you?
Keep it down
Sit down
Iím fine
I said sit down
Itís your own decision now
You can marry him if you want
Bozorg is not someone who would be let down
by a pig-headed girl like you
Who cares anyway?
Iím too strong to get defeated
But my point is something else
Iíve already made it clear
As you know
Yadi Goldareiís case of m*rder whose
m*rder*r is Farhad, is still open
And the wound still hurts
His family is still in mourning
In a little while
the case of m*rder will come together with kidnapping
and a thousand political accusations
He will be sent to the south on exile
In the middle of nowhere
And in this hectic situation, if they
find out heís gotten married
held a wedding and stuff,
worst comes to worst!
Or maybe one day
he gets stabbed in the back and
heís dead
The stabber wonít even run away
Heíll become a national hero
Because heís k*lled the enemy of Shah
And your man will be
hated by everyone
You wonít know where his body is
You wonít know where his grave is located
The case of Hashemís son
is just hanging by a thread
And in between, there are so many haters
One of them is Ghobad
His bride was kidnapped in broad daylight
You should already start
mourning for Hashemís son
Youíre making a deal with me over Farhadís life?
This is not fair
Iíve already asked you but you didnít
give me a clear answer
You could get your daughter a rival very easily
With no trouble
With no disgrace
Without a sound
But you picked me
Why?
I wrote these few words,
In such a way that no one understood,
You too, read them kindly,
In that way that you know
Sir
The wedding will be held in ten days
Thursday night
In my garden
Congratulations sir
Send me the list of your invitees
Besides
If Shahrzad wants to see that boy, do not stop her
Thatís fine
Jamshid
- Get well soon We have a lot to get done
- Yes sir
Goodbye
Godspeed
- Donít walk me
- Itís okay sir
I said donít walk me I know the way
Thank you for coming
Goodbye
What are you doing?
I canít keep them
What do you mean?
Do you know what I was expecting
to hear from you?
Farhad, you and I tried to change our world but
itís our world thatís changing us
I have lost everything Shahrzad
I donít want to lose you too
Things wonít always go on as we wish
Shahrzad, tell me whatís going on
I just know that if anything happens to youÖ
- Weíre not made for each other
- What have they drummed into your head, Shahrzad?
- Youíre not marrying Ghobad, are you?
- I am
In a few days
Please donít come because it
wonít be easy for us
Try to forget me
Iím trying to do the same
A yellow autumn, a cold winter,
A narrow jail cell, a beautiful wound,
A
A gloomy Friday evening, these strange barriers,
A world of questions, you left me with
A world of lies, a world of sunsets,
A hurting pain, a sharp blade,
A
A sick heart and a deep sigh,
A world of impossibles, you left me with
Where are you my friend? Where are you?
Where are you without me?
Where are you my friend? Where are you?
Where are you without me?
I feel alone in this world
Where are you my darling?
Come look me in the eye
Do not turn your back at me
Heaven forbid
Look what your eyes have done to mine
Iíve searched everywhere,
Where are you my darling?
Let me pour my blood in your veins
Come back to me,
Come change my world,
Come heal my wounds,
Where are you my darling? Where are you?
Where are you without me?
Where are you my darling? Where are you?
Where are you without me?
