00:00Hey mom, how's it going?
00:08Aren't you gonna drink your juice?
00:10It's getting warm.
00:13What do you think could have happened to those poor girls?
00:18What girls?
00:20That young man's girls, God bless his soul.
00:25Mercoli, I pray for God to forgive you and give you salvation.
00:33Mom, what are you talking about?
00:36There's a lot to say.
00:39But I was sworn to secrecy.
00:41This vow of silence.
00:44This silence.
00:47This silence.
00:49This silence is how I got here, my boy.
00:54Hello?
01:04Hi, Mohammed, it's me, Mr. Kalani.
01:07Hi, Mr. Kalani, how are you?
01:09I'm doing fine, thank you, my boy.
01:11Listen, I'm going on a trip tonight and I was wondering if I could finally see you.
01:18How about today?
01:19Honestly, Mr. Kalani, today's not good.
01:21I have to visit the hospital, so I have to stay here and take care of my mother.
01:25Well, as I say, you never put off till tomorrow what you could do today.
01:29If you can't come out, then maybe I could come over. Would that be okay with you?
01:37Yeah, of course, that would be fine.
01:38All right, so, uh...
01:40I'll stop by, so I'll see you soon.
01:43I'll see you. Goodbye.
01:44Goodbye.
01:46Because of someone who was very dear to me, I got mixed up with their brother.
01:53But I lost that person. I lost my job.
01:58And my account soon became... empty.
02:03My life changed, changed for the worse.
02:06And then they came for me.
02:11Who are they?
02:14His name is Jacques.
02:17He's French.
02:19He works for someone else.
02:22But he's got a personal vendetta against me.
02:28Well, what if someone really can't pay them back? What then?
02:36Then you're forced to do criminal work for them.
02:39Illegal.
02:41If you don't, they'll...
02:43Break your arm.
02:46Follow you all the way to Iran and...
02:49Find your grandmother in the hospital and...
02:53Well, you know the rest.
02:55How did they find you?
03:01He has a Persian friend.
03:02The rest couldn't have been hard.
03:06All they have to do is call a couple of hotels.
03:09So what are you going to do now?
03:11I don't know.
03:14If it hadn't been a threat, what would have happened to Mea Banu?
03:18It would have caused so much trouble for you.
03:23How could I ever look into your or Mohammed's eyes?
03:27I don't know what to do.
03:34You tell me what to do.
03:36Me?
03:40Well, if you want my opinion, I think you should tell the police.
03:46He's a smart guy.
03:48I don't think he'll come back here.
03:53But he's sure to find another way to get his revenge.
03:57Either way, the cops are the only ones who can help you.
04:02Dr. Atifa.
04:04How about you?
04:06Will you help me?
04:08Will you help me?
04:17Mmm.
04:19It smells good.
04:21It looks good. It tastes good too.
04:23Did you make it yourself?
04:24Yeah.
04:26Good for you. Good for you. That's great.
04:28Your future wife will be one lucky girl.
04:29It's only too bad my daughter's sick, otherwise I'd say to hell with the traditions and just got her to propose to you straight away.
04:38You're too kind.
04:40Oh, I burned my tongue. Ow!
04:43It's real unfortunate about your father. Poor guy, poor guy.
04:46He had high hopes for you and it was a terrible waste, but I want to be absolutely clear about this.
04:53I wish your daughter or your sister were here as well, so I could explain all this to both of you.
05:00Anyway, don't worry about the sugar cubes. I'll have it plain.
05:04So anyway, you know I'm going on a trip tonight, so I'm going to leave the documents here with you and I know you'll have no problem splitting the shares.
05:13Okay, so...
05:15This is lovely tea, really.
05:17Oh, it's hot!
05:18So, uh, Mr. Vojjam had this house, the factory and the land, uh, had it divided.
05:25Right.
05:26He has, uh, three ownerships in your name, your sister's name and your mother's name, too.
05:31Okay.
05:32But Dad didn't say he was going to divide up that property.
05:35Well, he wanted to make sure to clarify things.
05:39While he was still alive and he, uh, just recently got the ownerships.
05:43But unfortunately, he passed.
05:45Well, I can't say I'm surprised. Dad really did have a mind of his own.
05:50Hey, here are the documents. Just, uh, give me a moment and I'll go through them with you.
05:57As stipulated here, he asked that whatever funds were left in his account be used for your mother's hospital and medical expenses.
06:07Although I doubt that there was very much left in his account considering his circumstances in his final days.
06:14Then there's the house.
06:17The house is divided into three shares.
06:20One for you, one for your sister, and one for your mother.
06:23However, Mr. Pajam asked that the two heirs were not to do anything to the property while your mother's still alive.
06:30Although I know that they're great kids and there's no real concern here, but because he loved Atia so much, it's logical that he'd want this.
06:40Of course.
06:41And then there's the factory.
06:45He's given you two-thirds and one-third is left to your sister.
06:50Why was I given two-thirds?
06:53What I mean to say is how come he didn't leave any of the factory to my mother?
06:55Well, you see, Muhammad, your father did this so that your mother could have a proper income for the rest of her life.
07:06And he left that land to her just so that she wouldn't be a burden on you or your sister, you see.
07:16He was really worried about you, Muhammad.
07:19He said you'd put a lot of toil and effort into the factory.
07:23Then he was considering selling the factory and putting money elsewhere.
07:28But then, in his final days, he was going to file for bankruptcy.
07:32Anyway, he went to great length to sell the factory.
07:36So, to your knowledge, has there been any progress with the factory?
07:40We fought tooth and nail, but to no avail.
07:43So what are you going to do?
07:45I don't know.
07:47Honestly, Dad's death has been such a shock we can't think straight.
07:50Listen, my advice is don't put it off.
07:53Get it done as soon as possible.
07:56I have a potential buyer who's ready to sign the deal.
08:00Are you referring to your lousy drug?
08:03You mean your brother-in-law?
08:06Listen, Muhammad, let's keep this between the two of us.
08:09But I never really liked that guy, despite the fact that he was actually quite fond of me.
08:13Yeah, you know?
08:15You tried...
08:17You tried convincing your father to sell the factory since he knew Mr. Fujam, God bless his soul.
08:21He was stuck between a rock and a hard place.
08:24He was trying to fish in troubled waters, you see.
08:26Yeah, that's what he does best.
08:28Yeah, you can't argue with that, you know?
08:31And actually, I was telling your father about this potential buyer before...
08:36Before his life was cut short.
08:38Anyway, if you're going to sell, let me know.
08:40It seems we have no other choice.
08:42But if we sell it, I'd rather not sell it to someone by the name of Iraj Israq.
08:47That way, at least I'll have peace of mind that he won't get his hands on it.
08:50All right, then.
08:52I'll talk to my client and let you know the outcome.
08:55The price isn't that important, but I want to make sure that the employees are paid to the last cent that's owed to them.
09:01I don't want them to get burned in the middle of this.
09:04Your dad's prayers are with you.
09:07And so are those people you've been supporting.
09:10This way, you'll never fail in life.
09:15If there's anything I can do, don't hesitate to ask.
09:18Hi, Doctor. Do you have any extra prescription pad?
09:25Hold on a minute. Let me check.
09:27Paging Mr. Zahre to the board. Paging Mr. Zahre to the board.
09:39Here. Here you go.
09:41Thank you, Doctor.
09:42Thank you, Doctor.
09:59Hello there, Doctor.
10:01Hey, what are you doing here?
10:03Honestly, Doctor, lately my heart's been aching.
10:06Really?
10:10Well, had you waited, I would have sent your medication.
10:13That wouldn't have worked, because my heart aches being away from my lovely wife.
10:17You left work again to come here to the hospital?
10:20The nurses are beginning to make fun of me, you know.
10:23They're just jealous.
10:25This should make you happy.
10:26It does, but having everyone nudge and point and laugh their heads off at me doesn't exactly make me overjoyed.
10:37So when can we go home?
10:39Excuse me, Iraj, but I left the house almost an hour and a half ago.
10:44I haven't even seen three patients.
10:47That's too bad.
10:49What was I supposed to do? My order came in.
10:51I couldn't have waited till night to give it to you.
10:53So I've brought it over.
10:55The birds flutter seeking the mighty winds.
11:00The buds in search of rapid falls.
11:04The earth is bare and the orchards are dull.
11:07As I yearn for you, my most caring angel.
11:18What's this, Mr. Poet?
11:21A souvenir from Shiraz.
11:24But you were only there for a day, and you already bought me souvenirs.
11:29Forget it.
11:31Tell me what this souvenir of yours is.
11:32Is it unripe sour grape juice?
11:34Is it lemon juice?
11:38Nope.
11:39Uh, juice from the Harbinger spring?
11:42You're getting closer.
11:44Spring citrus blossoms?
11:46Egg glimteam?
11:47No, no.
11:48Hey!
11:49Well, what?
11:50Open it.
11:51I was thinking the walls in your office are quite bare, so I got you something amusing to look at.
12:06You know, when you're bored, you can look over at it and think about me in my Shirazi accent.
12:10I remember once upon a time that a very lovely doctor told me she studied in Shiraz before she transferred to Tehran.
12:22She told me when she missed her family, she would go to the Hafez Shrine.
12:28She was so fond of that place, and she still sees it in her dreams.
12:33Why are you looking at me like that?
12:35Are you trying to tell me that that's why you went to Shiraz for a date?
12:36It doesn't matter.
12:37What time should I pick you up?
12:38There's no need.
12:39I'll come by myself.
12:40After work, my friends and I are going to go and see Roya's baby.
12:41Iraj, I saw her picture, and you have no idea how beautiful and cute that...
12:42Roya?
12:43Yeah.
12:44She's an old friend from college.
12:45I told you about her.
12:46I told you about her.
12:47I told you about her.
12:48I told you about her.
12:49I told you about her.
12:50I told you about her.
12:51I told you about her.
12:52Go another day.
12:53I told you about her.
12:54I told you about her.
12:55I told you about her.
12:56I told you about her.
12:57No more but I'm planning on Friday.
12:58No more.
12:59I'm not going to talk to myself.
13:00After work, my friends and I are going to go and see Roya's baby.
13:02I'll take her.
13:03I saw her picture, and you have no idea how beautiful and cute that...
13:06Roya...
13:08Yeah.
13:09She's an old friend from college.
13:10I told you about it the day before yesterday.
13:11I'll take you, and then I'll wait outside, and we'll come home together.
13:16Hmm?
13:17But I'm planning to go with my friends.
13:20I've made plans with my friends.
13:22Well, go tomorrow.
13:24You'll say the same thing tomorrow. I'll only be there half an hour.
13:29Can't you go for ten minutes?
13:31Ten minutes?
13:33One of my best friends had a baby.
13:37That's unfair, and you're probably going to call every minute.
13:40Iraj, no.
13:41Then 15.
13:43Iraj, no, please.
13:45Then just don't go.
13:49Fine.
13:50I won't go.
13:56Of course, I'll have to lie to Royer again, or she'll get really mad at me.
13:59And I'll be waiting for you at the front entrance at 5 o'clock. Is that okay?
14:04Yeah.
14:07That's good.
14:08I'll be waiting for you at the front entrance at 5 o'clock.
14:10I'll be waiting for you at any of the floor.
14:11No, no.
14:24I'll be waiting.
14:24I'll be waiting.
14:25I'll be waiting for you at the front propos.
14:25I'll be waiting for you at the back of this side.
14:26So along that�.
14:26Then I'll be waiting for you at one people's office.
