- Make sure everything is perfect.
- No worries sir.

- Where is Ghobad?
- He must be somewhere around sir.

- Don’t let him misbehave.
- Don’t worry about it.

- It’s so hard to marry a daughter off.
- Don’t say that. There’s still one more.

I just hope your other sons-in-laws
are as nice as your first one.

One perfect man!

Anyway, your new relatives
are a nice family.

Why do you say that?

Thanks to my wife for getting
me such a brother-in-law.

- Stop touching your coat button. It may come off.
- Stop it.

- I’m anxious. I don’t know what’s gonna happen.
- Why are you anxious?

- Keep it down.
- For the sake of my dear father-in-law

I’m gonna trip the light tonight.

- Get out of here.
- I don’t even care if my boss sees me.

Just because of my father-in-law.

Please help yourselves.

- Why are you sitting at the groom’s place?
- Sit down.

Oh God! Stop it.
Those women have already started blabbering.

Don’t be sitting here like this.

Be a little coy. Play hard to get.
Put a smile on that face or something.

Who would marry a runaway girl these days?

- Don’t do this.
- Cut it out Homeyra.

A bride shouldn’t be so miserable.
Just keep up the appearances.

- Mali?
- Yes?

- Haven’t you seen the groom?
- No sir.

- Back to work.
- Yes sir.

Ghobad?

There you are.

I’ve been looking all over for you.

Ghobad!

Congratulations on your wedding!

- Congratulations!
- Get up.

- Look at the stupid groom!
- Get up and fix your clothes.

- Go downstairs. Your uncle wants you.
- Who cares?

Who cares what he wants?

Tell him the groom has run away.

Give me that.

Forget this damn thing.

What’s wrong with you Ghobad?

What’s wrong with me?

I’m just being the handsome groom.
Is that bad?

Let’s just drink together Heshmat.

What a night it is tonight!

Ghobad, the notary will arrive any minute.

If they see you like this, there will be rumors.

Get up.

Bozorg has brought his daughter
a rival with his own hands.

So that maybe you mend your ways!

Hoping maybe she can give birth
to your child eventually.

That’s what we want.

Poor Bozorg!

He’s brought a rival!

What a rival!

There’s nothing the girl hasn’t done in her life.
They think I’m stupid.

They think I don’t know they’ve
caught her on the road to Shiraz?

They’ve brought her here by force.

Bozorg is humiliating me once again.
He wants me to stand in awe of him.

What does this mean? It means shut up!

- I have to take the choice.
- But you haven’t seen the girl yet.

So much the worse.

Isn’t it humiliating to be forced to marry
someone you don’t even know?

With a thousand terms and conditions.

The girl has been everywhere!

Now they want to know who’s barren.
Me or Shirin!

And if it’s me, I’ll be put through hell.

I’m fed up to the back teeth!

Don’t be so unthankful Ghobad.

We both know this well.

This is not the end of the game.
Your call anyway.

Sister? Sister?

Why is your hand shaking?

- Simin?
- Yes?

Where is Farhad now?

- What is he doing?
- Don’t think about it.

How can I not?

This is disgracing.
People will talk behind our back.

Think about your sisters if you
don’t care about yourself.

The notary has arrived half an hour ago.
Where is the groom?

Here comes the groom.
Put your hands together.

Master Ghobad.
This way please.

The groom is here Malmal.
Please ask the notary to come

- and read the marriage sermon before the dark.
- Sure.

Widows please leave the room.

Please go ahead.

- Go ahead Haji.
- Hello.

- Please go ahead.
- Hello.

Hello.

- Go ahead Haji.
- Hello.

Peace be upon Muhammad and his decadents.

- Congratulations.
- Hello.

- Please have a seat.
- Please.

In the name of God.

[Marriage sermon in Arabic language]

Miss Shahrzad Sa’adat.

Do you give me permission to
give you in marriage to

Ghobad Divansalar

with the dower you have agreed on?

The bride is playing hard to get.

I take this as a good omen.

May they live happily together.

[Marriage sermon in Arabic language]

Do you give me permission to give you
in marriage to Ghobad Divansalar

with the dower you have agreed on?

Shahrzad honey?

- Shahrzad?
- Yes.

The bride said the word.

In the name of God.

Mr. Divansalar, do I have your permission too?

Well yes.

Congratulations.

May you be happy together.

Celebrate this happy time.

Look at those flowers in the groom’s hand.

Celebrate this happy time.

Look at those flowers in the groom’s hand.

- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

- Congratulations.
- Thanks.

- I wish them a happy life together.
- Thank you very much.

- Hello sir.
- Congratulations.

Thank you.

Congratulations sir.

- Jamshid?
- Yes sir?

Now we’re relatives.

Thanks to you Mr. Bozorg.

My daughter was childish.

- But you forgave her.
- Let bygones be bygones.

I don’t want anyone to talk behind
my daughter-in-law’s back.

- Yes sir.
- Including you.

- Everything fine with your heart?
- Well!

It hurts sometimes.

- Where is Hashem? I haven’t seen him.
- He’s been around sir.

He didn’t come to congratulate you?

- Go find him.
- Yes sir.

- Heshmat.
- Yes sir?

- Where is Shirin?
- In her room. She won’t come out.

- Keep things under control. I’ll be right back.
- Yes sir.

Celebrate this happy time.

You guys go get ready.

- Okay.
- Let’s go.

Look at those flowers in the groom’s hand.

Why are you sitting here?

They’re waiting for you downstairs.

Waiting for me?

Why me? I’m not the one who’s
supposed to say the word.

You are the pick of the bunch!

Am I?

Out with the old, in with the new.

I’m the old bride now.

What old bride?

What are you saying?

What is this nonsense you’re talking?

It’s true dad.

I am the old bride now no matter what you say.

- Old and rusty.
- My darling.

We have talked about this.

You gave me your consent. You agreed to this
marriage so Ghobad would come to his senses.

Otherwise, I would get rid of this boy.

If he’s breathing now, it’s only
because of you, my dear.

I know.

But upon reflection, I realized I shouldn’t
have agreed to this marriage.

I wish I died and didn’t see this day dad.

There are so many conditions that
you will not even feel his absence.

He will always be with you,
more than before.

He will come to his senses.
I just want what’s best for you my darling.

Put some nice clothes on.

And come downstairs like a lady.

As if nothing has hurt you.

As if you have brought this
girl here yourself.

Like you just want Ghobad to
have a child and that’s all.

Don’t let rumors be spread.

My Shushu!

Show everyone you’re Bozorg’s daughter.

I can’t dad.
I can’t look that girl in the eye.

I will send her away in less than an hour.

With Ghobad?

Without Ghobad.

But how?

Change your clothes and come downstairs.

Look who’s here.
The pervert!

You’re at the wrong place cutie pie.

This is a wedding ceremony.
The circumcision ceremony is two blocks from here.

If he didn’t have a problem, they wouldn’t
marry the lady to someone else.

He must’ve had a problem.

Hey!

Stop fighting here.

Stop it!

Hashem.

- Where are you going?
- I’ll be back.

Put your hands together.

- There comes Hashem.
- What’s going on?

- Hello Hashem.
- Hello Hashem.

- Hello Hashem.
- Hello.

What’s going on here?

- Sorry Hashem.
- Off you go.

- Off you go.
- Sorry.

What are you doing here, boy?

I don’t know.

What is this hell you’ve raised?

I should’ve raised this hell for Bozorg.

Here, clean your lips.

- Are you okay?
- I’m fine.

Wait for me here.

Don’t go anywhere.

- Don’t do anything Farhad.
- All right.

I can see the moon in your face.
I can see the dawn in your curls.

A hundred wishes you planted in my heart.

Didn’t heal my heart though you could.

There is no flower prettier than you my love.

- Hello.
- Hashem.

I’ll be leaving by your permission.

Why? You have just arrived.

- Without having dinner?
- We’ve always been fed by you.

This marriage will benefit everyone Hashem.

I want you to understand that.

As long as the family of that
m*rder*d guy is in mourning

your son’s case will be open.

Especially now that the cops

don’t like your son so much.

He has to keep a low profile.

Send him abroad if you can.

People at this age

easily fall in and out of love.

He will fall in love with someone else
in less than a month.

Okay.

If you want to go, you can go.

Besides

As for tonight, I didn’t force you to come.

Go take care of your son and your family.

There is no flower prettier than you my love.

There is no flower prettier than you.

I can see the moon in your face.

I can see the dawn in your curls.

A hundred wishes you planted in my heart.

- Hello Jamshid. Congratulations.
- Thank you very much.

- Malmal?
- Yes?

Do me a favor.

Please ask the bride’s mother to come out.

- Right away.
- Thank you.

- Hello sir.
- Hello.

- Hello Jamshid. Congratulations.
- Thank you so much.

What’s the matter Jamshid?

I’ve come to take Shahrzad home.

You?

Why so early? What about the groom?

The groom can’t go with her tonight.

Don’t tell anyone.

I don’t know the reason.

But this is what Mr. Bozorg wants.

What does it mean?

My child is going to her husband’s house alone tonight?
What would people say?

This is Mr. Bozorg’s order.
Don’t argue.

It must be for the best.

I’ll wait for her downstairs.

God!

- Hello sir.
- Hello.

You’re not in the mood Jamshid.

I didn’t want my daughter to go
home alone on her wedding night.

- It’ll be only one night. It shall pass.
- It shall pass.

- Malmal, don’t let anyone know we’re leaving.
- No worries.

Godspeed.

I don’t get it mom. She can’t
leave alone just like that!

How can it be possible?

- Your dad said so.
- You should’ve talked to him.

- What should I tell him?
- What do you mean?

Well well, our dear bride!
Where are going in such a hurry?

Hello Shirin.
Wow!

You look beautiful.

Wait for me downstairs.
I’ll be right with you.

- Shahrzad!
- Please.

Simin.

Congratulations.

A luxurious house and a
magnificent ceremony!

You must’ve been so greedy or you wouldn’t
stick to a noble family like this.

Careful not to get in trouble
out of extreme desires.

We should’ve met much sooner.

I had a lot to tell you.

They say birds of a feather flock together.

I have nothing to say to people like you.

If you have anything to say,
say it to my father.

He’ll let me know if he sees advisable.

- I haven’t come here at will.
- Seriously?

Who brought you here?

Are you limping or what?

Perhaps you’ve got wooden legs.
Let me see.

Listen.

I’m not wearing this dress at will.
So I don’t have to answer to you now.

Don’t be scared, you poor thing!

I’ll tell Ghobad to have your back.

He listens to me.

And behave yourself from now on.

Go! Your family is waiting for you.

What was that witch
whispering in your ear?

Stop it Homeyra.

- She’s more miserable than me.
- Don’t say that honey.

Damn!

Why don’t you come?

What are you waiting for?

The bride and groom are supposed to
leave the ceremony together.

They can’t go separate ways.
What would people say?

- Won’t they say the groom doesn’t want the bride?
- Homeyra is right.

Shahrzad should’ve waited for Ghobad.

This is Mr. Bozorg’s order.
I told you that.

She could at least have dinner.

I want to leave this house as soon as possible.

- This guy is not coming. Good for me.
- Get in the car.

Let’s go. Hurry up.

Fine! Where’s the fire?
This is her wedding for God’s sake.

Cut it out.

Idiot.

Let’s celebrate.

I like that. You’re ready.

- It’s time to go.
- Time for the bride to go, not the groom.

What do you mean?

The bride can’t go without the groom.
What would people say?

I’m glad you’re no longer intoxicated.

You’re feeling better.
I hope you haven’t forgotten.

Something was supposed to be done
on your wedding night.

With your help.

- Why tonight? Let’s do it tomorrow night.
- It’s Mr. Bozorg’s order.

No buts and ifs!

Use the back door.

Sister, you want me to stay
with you tonight?

You stick to your studies.
I’ll stay with her.

You go to your husband and kid.
Your dad and I will stay.

Thank you all.
But I prefer to be alone tonight.

- You can come to our place.
- Things that you say!

What’s wrong with you?

She’s not leaving us for good.

She’s just going to her own house.

Don’t worry.
I’ll see you tomorrow.

I wish you a happy life darling.

Sleep well tonight.

You shouldn’t have puffy eyes at
your bridal shower tomorrow.

I’ll come and take care of your
make-up tomorrow morning.

You need to look good.

Hello sir. Welcome.

- What can I get you?
- Two drinks.

Sure.

We have experiences

which you youngsters don’t.

You think this is all there is.

When you’re heavyhearted

When you’re miserable and dejected

You think it’s never going to end.

But it is.

You wake up one morning and feel high-spirited.

You feel better, you feel calm.

All the misery is gone.

Here.

Clean your lips.

- Anything else?
- No, thank you.

I would give half of my life

to see that morning

tomorrow.

But it’s not necessarily

supposed to be tomorrow.

You should give it some time.

Let it go.

You don’t know dad.

You have no idea how heartbroken I am.

I don’t know?

I know more than you think.

Look.

I’ve been through this more than 20 years ago.

I never told you.

Never.

Her name was Ghamar.

She was so beautiful.

She was the girl next-door.

In my father’s neighborhood.

In Damavand.

As far as I can remember

I always wanted her.

I wanted her so badly.

I couldn’t rest if I didn’t see her
in the alley for a day.

And she,

wearing that flowery chador

always whispered a quick hello and walked off.

That was the reason I came to Tehran.

I came to get a life.

So I could go back and ask for her hand.

But then I heard

that her father had forced her

to get married before the end of that year.

So this morning you talked about

hasn’t arrived for you either.

If it had

you wouldn’t be choking with emotions now.

A part of the beloved

will always remain in the lover’s heart.

Forever.

Even if they leave each other.

But

This is only one side of the coin, son.

And the other side of the coin?

It’s when your world is limited to
only one person.

Or when this person

becomes your whole world.

If she ever leaves you

you lose everything.

Way to go.

Way to go.

- Hooshang?
- Yes Heshmat?

You’re one talented guy.

Please be seated.
Don’t sit over here like that.

Dance a little or something.

- Yes sir.
- Have fun.

As you order.

- Come with me.
- What should I do?

Come on.

Look at those flowers in the groom’s hand.

Beautiful long hair of the bride.

Beautiful and colorful.

Good for the groom.

Put your hands together and celebrate.

Put your hands together and celebrate.

Hello.

I’d like to talk to Mr. Toupchi.

Aslan Toupchi.

I have a message for him.

It’s very important.

It’s a matter of life and death.

It’s about the cargo that is
coming from the harbor.

Tell him Esmail, the one-handed
and he’ll know.

Tell him that.

Okay, I’ll hold.

How can I help you?

Hello. Is this Aslan Toupchi?

It’s his brother. I’m listening.

Tell him the whole cargo has been tracked.

The proof being that the day
before yesterday

Esmail, the one-handed took care
of it in the harbor.

He’s loaded a clunker truck.

And he’s headed to Tehran.

There’s something written on
the back of the truck.

“My mother, my one and only friend.”

If he doesn’t act quick, the
whole cargo will be lost.

Totally wasted.

The chief of police would
love to get something out of it.

I’m afraid Aslan will be hanged in between.

That’s what happens if he doesn’t act quick.

What if he does act quick?

There’s someone in the headquarters
you can bribe.

His words cut.

He’s the one who knows everything.

He can close the case overnight.

But the guy won’t make a deal with
anyone but Aslan Toupchi himself.

Maybe his brother too.

He’ll accept neither a dealer
nor a go-between.

It’s either you or him.

You didn’t say who’s speaking.

Suppose I’m the guy you’re
supposed to buy off.

I’ll be at the cabaret in half an hour.

Either you or your brother
will get in the car.

If you don’t show up or have company

you’ll be in trouble.

- Khosro?
- Yes sir?

Call the harbor and see what’s written
at the back of Esmail’s truck.

- Find it for me.
- Yes sir.

Something wrong Aslan?

No. Keep playing.

Here’s the car key.

I have to go to the bathroom before that.

- I made the call sir.
- Well?

It says; “My mother, my one and only friend.”

All right. Go.

How much do you want?

What’s your hurry?

Don’t try to be funny.
Make it quick.

- Tell me how much you want.
- We can’t talk about it here.

- Where are you going?
- To the other world.

Breathe a word and you’re a dead man.

Get in guys. Let’s follow them.

Start the engine.

Start it!

- Start it.
- It won’t start, g*dd*mn it.

- Start the engine. Try again.
- It won’t start.

Come on!

They took him.

- Is this yours?
- What do you want?

That’s our wire!

Here comes the wild rue.

May the evil eye be kept away.

Peace be upon Muhammad and his descendants.

Peace be upon Muhammad and his descendants.

Peace be upon Muhammad and his descendants.

May the evil eye be kept away.

You didn’t have your dinner my lady.
And your milk is still there.

I heated up the water.
Take a bath and go to bed.

You’re lucky this house has a bathroom.

Otherwise you’d have to go many
blocks to find a bathhouse.

God knows if you could find one at all.

- Excuse me.
- Yes?

- Aren’t you going home tonight?
- What home?

Mr. Bozorg has ordered me to serve you 24/7.

All right.

- Can you leave me alone now?
- Sure. Why not?

But what kind of groom is he?
Couldn’t he have fun some other night?

My lady.

- May you never see a bad day.
- Please leave me alone.

Grooms of today!

May the evil eye be kept away.

Close your eyes.

- Completely.
- I did.

Now open them.

The Amen Bird.

It’s beautiful Farhad.

May it bring you luck.

Excuse me my lady.

My dear.

The bathroom is ready.

I’ve heated up the water.

And I put your clothes in the hot-house.

If you wanted to go

tell me to come and wash your hair.

Are the guests gone?

Yes, they’re all gone.

Only the servants are here.

Tell everybody to go and leave
the works for tomorrow.

Yes ma’am.

You didn’t tell me who you are.

Why have you brought me here?

Why don’t you say anything?

Cat got your tongue?

What do you want from me?

Money, cars, houses?

I’ll give you anything you want.

Who sent you?

Mountains never greet.

But men may meet.

All this cops and robbers game

for a smuggled cargo?

I’d heard about your miserliness.

But I didn’t expect this.

When I told you to join hands
with me back then

I was thinking about this day.

If I knew, I’d tell Esmael to bring a cargo
at your door sooner than this.

As a gift.

You can have the cargo on the way.

I’ll send it to your door.

You can count on my generosity.

Not when you’re a dead man.

This is the end of the line.

- Get away! Hold your rabid dogs.
- Shut your mouth and listen.

Before you breathe your last breath

I have to tell you why you’re getting retaliated.

So that’s what it’s all about.

You’ve gone through fire and water
to reach me after two years.

You have no common sense.

You should’ve been warned
when Zia’s body was found.

He’s trying to tell you that if you
deny things, you’ll end up in a grave.

I’ll end up in a grave whether
I deny things or not.

If you’re supposed to sentence
me to death in no court of law

you should have yourself retaliated first.

- Shut up.
- Are you going to burn me?

Go ahead.

- Burn me and your own heart will go on fire.
- No.

I won’t burn you.

Because your ashes would be
no good for fish.

What have I done to you?

We both treated each other improperly.

You went to the police and gave away
my sugar warehouse.

To get the monopoly, eh?

You couldn’t stand anyone make
as much money as you made.

You wanted everything for yourself.

That was how you ruined me.

You made my wife die of grief.

And you made my children homeless.

An eye for an eye.

That’s our story.

Everything about you
should’ve been ruined.

But you survived. So much the better.

- Now you suffer more.
- Shut up.

Stop it.

I didn’t k*ll your wife.

I wasn’t the one who k*lled your sons.

You k*lled them with your own hands.

What? You’re infuriated?

It was you yourself who ruined your life.

I’ve heard your daughter is barren.

So you’re left with no successor.

You did it yourself.

- You did it with your own hands.
- Heshmat.

- Yes sir?
- Give him a cigarette.

Yes sir.

- Rajab?
- Yes sir?

There was this Russian song you used to sing.
What was its name?

Sevastopol, sir.

That day on the road

before the accident

it was on the radio.

[The Russian song]

- What’s wrong?
- I don’t know dad.

- What are you doing?
- The brake doesn’t engage.

I’m afraid it’s been damaged.

- It doesn’t engage.
- Try again!

Be careful!

Watch it! Watch it!

[The Russian song]

I’m pleased with you tonight.

Congratulations on your wedding.

A yellow autumn, a cold winter,

A narrow jail cell, a beautiful wound,

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 sick heart and a deep sigh,

A world of impossibles, you left me with.

Where are you my friend? Where exactly are you?

Where are you without me?

Where are you my friend? Where exactly 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.

I’ve 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 exactly are you?

Where are you without me?

Where are you my darling? Where exactly are you?

Where are you without me?
