It all starts when a caring and hardworking father can’t earn enough to meet the demands of his children. Being under constant pressure, he is offered to take responsibility for a car accident in return for a large sum of money. He was desperate enough to accept the offer but when the police regard the case as murder, he realizes he’s gotten into more than he bargained for.

00:00Amiri says you knew about the accident. He said Afshar told you.
00:04Oh, come on, detective.
00:06Why do you believe someone who's changed his story a hundred times so far?
00:09So you're denying everything then?
00:11You're denying that Afshar was behind the wheel?
00:14How should I know about that?
00:16Afshar called me late at night.
00:18He told me to go to court in the morning.
00:20He said Amiri had run someone over with his car.
00:23You've got Afshar's phone records.
00:25Why don't you check those? See if he called me or not.
00:28We're not debating whether he called you or not.
00:31What matters is what he told you when you spoke.
00:33I already told you.
00:34He told me to go to court in the morning and find a way to solve the problem.
00:38Detective, he's Afshar's accomplice.
00:40He's making all this up now that the truth's been exposed and his life's on the line.
00:44Let's say that your version of the story is true.
00:46A suspect is claiming that. We can't just ignore the claims.
00:49But detective, 500 people had invested their life savings in everything they had in those apartments.
00:54I'm worried we're never gonna catch Afshar the way you're wasting time on these things.
00:58The suspect has said this in his defense. We need to investigate it.
01:01To see if it's the truth we'll just lie.
01:02I'm sure he's lying.
01:03It's all nonsense.
01:04I already know what you're gonna find.
01:06You're just wasting your time with this.
01:08Do you want some tea?
01:10So that's exactly what you heard?
01:12Yes. That's exactly what he said. He said the guy died.
01:16And how did Afshar react to that?
01:18Like I told you, I only heard them from behind the door.
01:21I couldn't see how Afshar reacted.
01:23When he said the guy died, did he sound like he wanted him to die or was he worried about it?
01:27I already told you I wasn't in the room. I really couldn't make out those kinds of-
01:31How long were you to Lars' workshop?
01:33Um, that night I- I stayed till eight. Or-
01:38Maybe it was- it was- it was a little after eight.
01:44Guesses aren't going to help us, Miss D'Armieri. You need to be precise.
01:48Well, eight. I think it was-
01:52Well, well, I'm sorry, Mrs. Faraman, but I'm not in the habit of looking at my watch very often.
01:58Where did you go after that?
02:00Uh, to the park. I went to the park. Because I wasn't in a very good mood. I went to the park to-
02:07I went to the par-
02:09Wait. Why don't you ask Allah about this?
02:12He knows exactly how long I was at his workshop. No?
02:15I'm sure he knows. If Allah testifies that I was with him at the time, will that clear my name?
02:28How did it go?
02:29Well, Aslani's denying everything and says he didn't know anything about it. Did you talk to her?
02:34I did.
02:35Did you get anything useful?
02:36Nothing that can really help us with the case.
02:41You know what, Detective? If you want my opinion, they're just trying to buy time to get the money out of the country.
02:46Okay, thank you. Please keep us informed if you find out anything new.
02:48Of course. Goodbye.
02:50Excuse me, Mr. Aslani.
02:56Yes, how can I help you?
02:58I've never seen my father lie before.
03:00Please think about that night a little harder.
03:02You might just remember Afshar saying something that will prove my father's story.
03:06My dear girl, put yourself in my shoes. My boss called me in the middle of the night. He told me I have to go to court in the morning. He said I had to help someone who'd run someone else over. Now why do you think there's another side to the story that I'm trying to hide?
03:18Mr. Aslani, it's really strange for an experienced lawyer such as yourself to take on a case without knowing any of the details.
03:24I didn't know all the details.
03:26No. You didn't know that the person who had died had forged all the fake deeds for Afshar's apartments.
03:31Afshar is even more cunning than you think. I would have stopped him if I'd known what he was up to.
03:36What happened was really bad for me, personally. A lot of my friends and relatives have paid for apartments and I'm too ashamed to face any of them now.
03:43Persuade your client to tell them where Afshar is so they can quickly arrest him and give their money back.
03:48And I promise to persuade the victim's family not to press for an execution.
04:13Why the hell won't he leave us alone?
04:21Shh, don't be rude. He's our guest. Pour the tea when it's ready.
04:32Hello.
04:33Please don't get up. It's so nice to see you again.
04:36Here's some tea.
04:41Thank you very much, Bahareh, dear.
04:43You're welcome.
04:45Is that a satellite receiver?
04:47No, it's not. It's for digital TV. We only watch the Iranian channels.
04:52Oh! So you still don't have satellite TV?
04:55No.
04:57When's Morteza coming home today?
05:00I'm not sure. Well, you know, he's got a lot to deal with these days.
05:05His phone was off and I couldn't reach him.
05:08The last time I came to your house, we agreed to take care of something.
05:12But he's gone off and I can't find him anymore.
05:14He said he'd invest in a new business I'm starting. I'm sure he told you about it.
05:18No, he didn't.
05:20Well, if I was in Morteza's place, I wouldn't tell you about partnering with someone who's not as rich as...
05:26Forget about it.
05:28Tell me now, has he started working anywhere else after what happened in that company?
05:32No, Reza. Dad's waiting for things to be sorted out at his company.
05:35But the police have confiscated everything and the CEO has run off with billions taken from poor people like me.
05:41I'm really sorry for you.
05:42Thank you. But I didn't mean to upset you. It's not your fault, after all.
05:45By the way, you know I just found out today they've arrested one of the main suspects in this case.
05:52They say he was one of Afshar's accomplices.
05:55Morteza must have seen him around the office before.
05:58I thought I would come here and see if he had any information about what's going on over there.
06:03Have you heard anything?
06:04No, we haven't. We don't know anything about Dad's business affairs.
06:08You know, we don't go and poke our noses where they don't belong.
06:15We know from what the secretary said that your dad was worried when he heard the guy had died, which means he wasn't expecting that.
06:42So even if he was behind the wheel, he didn't mean for the guy to die.
06:46But my father wasn't even driving the car.
06:49You and I know that, but we have to see things the way the police do if we're going to help your dad out.
06:53Haven't the police talked to Uncle Allah yet?
06:58No, not yet.
06:59Well, let's just hope Dad didn't leave Uncle Allah's workshop before 8 o'clock.
07:04Well, to tell you the truth, I was worried about Morteza.
07:13I've never given anyone as much advice as I gave him.
07:16If you want my opinion, the unrealistic expectations that his kids had of him pushed him hard enough for him to make a big mistake.
07:23It's extremely hard to put things right now, but I don't think it's impossible.
07:29We all have to do everything we can to help him.
07:31There's a story that's very similar to what happened to him, actually.
07:35Yes, we know.
07:36You'll have to tell us this story later, Uncle Allah.
07:38Uncle Allah knows a lot of very nice stories.
07:40Hopefully, he'll tell us when this is all over.
07:42Yes, yes, I'd like that. Excuse me, but what time did Mr. Amiri leave here that night?
07:47Well, he usually left the workshop and headed home around sunset, before 8 o'clock.
07:52So he left you before 8?
07:54Yes, I think so.
07:55Did he say where he was going?
07:57No. I think he was meeting someone.
08:00But I don't remember him saying he was going to his boss's house.
08:05But are you sure he left before 8 o'clock?
08:08Well, I don't wear a watch. I was just saying he left before 8, because that's when Morteza usually leaves.
08:14How was Mr. Amiri feeling that night? Was he worried? Did you sense he was anxious?
08:18No. He just looked sad.
08:20You know, he was trying to find some kind of deed so he could get alone.
08:25But things just wouldn't work out for him, no matter what he did.
08:28He said he was ashamed of going home.
08:30He even wanted to spend the night in the workshop, and I really felt sorry for him.
08:35I don't know if what I'm saying will help Morteza or make things worse.
08:42But I'll tell the police the same things if they ask me.
08:53What happened?
08:55I don't know. I don't know why the knife slipped and I cut my finger. It's not serious.
09:00For God's sake, Mom, why are you so distracted? What are you so concerned about? Did Reza find anything?
09:07Didn't you hear what he said?
09:09He said they'd arrest one of the main suspects in the case.
09:13Do you know what's going to happen if he finds out that that suspect is your dad?
09:16Well, he hasn't found out yet.
09:18He doesn't know yet, but if he comes around and sees he's not here and he's not answering his phone, he's going to get suspicious, isn't he?
09:24Well, so what? So what if he finds out?
09:26He can't find out. Do you know what you're talking about?
09:29If Reza happens to find out where your dad is right now, he's going to embarrass us in front of everyone we know.
09:35We'll be too ashamed to look any of them in the eye.
09:37Listen, Mom. Dad is innocent. Why do you care what other people think?
09:41Innocent? Your dad may not have committed murder, but he's not innocent.
09:53Hello?
09:54Hello, my dear.
09:55Hello, Dad. How are you? It's Dad.
09:59I'm alright. How are you doing, dear? Is Mom doing any better now?
10:06Yeah, thanks. We're all fine, Dad. Are they treating you well?
10:10Yeah, they're all kind to me in here. Nah, I'm fine. Can you put your mom on the phone, please?
10:19Dad says he wants to talk to you, Mom.
10:21I don't have anything to say to him.
10:23Come on, Mom.
10:24What's left to say when he lies to me like that after 30 years of living together?
10:30Dad, Mom isn't feeling...
10:32Listen, Bahari dear. Won't you put the phone on speaker?
10:47Go ahead, Dad. Mom can hear you.
10:51Hello, Tebe dear. Are you feeling better?
10:56Um... Listen, I'm... I'm really worried about you here.
11:01I'm... I'm really sorry. I'm begging you to forgive me.
11:06Tebe dear. Tebe dear. I did this because I wanted to provide for my family and kids.
11:13Who asked you to get the money this way? At what price did you get it? You lied to get that money? You shamed your whole family trying to get that money.
11:22Well, I wouldn't have done this if I wasn't really desperate. Have you forgotten the things I told you that day on the street?
11:30I don't believe the things you said that day either.
11:32Very well. She's standing right there. Why don't you argue yourself if you don't believe me?
11:39Please believe me. Tebe. I only did this because I love my family.
11:44But you only made things worse for your family.
11:51Mom's gone, Dad. Goodbye for now.
11:54Mr. Amiri, this matter is very important to me. Tell me, didn't you stop anywhere or see anyone or speak to anyone on your way back from Allah's workshop to the park? Did anything in particular happen?
12:07No. No. Speak to anyone?
12:10Yeah?
12:11No. Stop anywhere? No. No. No. No. Oh!
12:17Come on, tell me what happened.
12:19There's a newsstand across the road from the park on the other side of the road. A stall that sells newspapers.
12:25Yes, I know.
12:26I went and bought a bottle of water from him.
12:29A thousand people might buy mineral water from him every day, sir. I doubt he would remember who you are.
12:35Well, there's something else.
12:37What?
12:38I wanted to buy some cigarettes as well.
12:40That's no different. He couldn't have remembered you for that.
12:42But I didn't buy any. I mean, I couldn't buy any cigarettes for myself because I...
12:47Why couldn't you buy the cigarettes?
12:48Because I only had a 50,000 Toman bill and he said he didn't have enough change so I couldn't buy the cigarettes.
12:55So what happened in the end? What happened after that? Did you see or talk to anyone?
13:01I went to the park and I read the newspaper.
13:03And that's when Mr. Afshar called you, is that right?
13:06That's right. Yes.
13:08Are you sure you're not forgetting anything, sir?
13:11I went... I went to the park and I couldn't... I couldn't even read the newspaper with all the bad news they print.
13:20No, that's all. I'm quite sure.
13:23But my father was never a smoker.
13:32Well, maybe he thought smoking would calm him down when he was in a bad mood.
13:36Mrs. Faramont, I say we retraced the path Dad took that night. We might find someone who had seen him before. What about that newspaper seller?
13:45No, that won't do much help. The sight of the accident is more important. If we can find a witness, a lot of our questions will be answered.
13:52Because it's really strange for someone to use their own car without changing the plates to run over someone they had a problem with and then flee the scene.
13:59So where should we go then?
14:01Well, I have to go and work on another case I've got.
14:04Can I ask which case it is?
14:05The fake doctor case. I need to get that done so I can spend more time on your dad's case, you see.
14:10That's a really good idea. Then I'll get off somewhere on the way there.
