So, you think your it was your fiancée who bought your two small sculptures?

Yeah.

- And you had only three? The two small ones and the large statue? - Yeah.

Let me tell you something.

I've been in the decoration business all my life.

I know talent when I see it.

I knew a boy who was a sculpture student.

They expelled him from the university because of a snowman he built in the yard.

They thought he'd built it to attract the girls' attention.

It wasn't anything obscene; It just had a carrot for a nose.

It wasn't reason enough for expulsion, but they did anyway.

I want to leave this damn country.

I just hoped to sell a few sculptures in this exhibition

but all the works were bought except mine.

Mr. Bahman, could you come here please?

You're wrong! The same people who today didn't buy any of your sculptures,

Will one day bow down and kneel before your works.

Then you'll be rich!

But now you're not playing it right, giving the sculptures to your fiancée,

And then you want to leave the country.

That's not the way to do it.

This box won't get out of the door.

Then how did it get in?

We built the box here.

The statue is too big. You made it in the room.

But it won't fit through the door.

The width or the height?

Both! It won't fit at all. And it's too heavy.

- OK. I'll come right away. - OK.

Let me tell you something.

I've got a friend called Caribbean. He's Iranian of course; It's just his name.

He's an arts seer. Specializing in films.

He predicts box office success.

Do you know Kiarostami?

He was just like you; No one bought his work.

Caribbean predicted his fortune then, and now see where he is.

And it was Caribbean who told me this.

He said when people bow down and kneel before your friend's works,

He'll be rich!

I'm not just saying this! It's Caribbean's prophecy.

Does your mind always produce rubbish like this?

What other dreams have you had?

Didn't you ever dream about being alone in the room with a man with a moustache?

Tell me if you did! Don't be afraid!

I'll ask the driver to cover his ears.

Didn't the man come towards you and grab your hand in the dream?

When I threw away the bag, he arrested me,

Then he said: "Sit in the car"!

To whom?

What do you mean? It was my dream!

There was just me and him! Who else?

That's what I mean.

One's point of view is not complete in a dream.

He might have been talking to someone standing behind you.

Did you turn back to look?

Turn back and look in a dream?

Are you mocking me?

Not at all.

Haven't you ever heard anyone tell you about a dream in which

they turned back and looked?

And why are you so sure he was a policeman?

Because of his eyes.

- Didn't he have a uniform on? - Yes, he did.

So, he was in uniform, but you knew from the look in his eyes that he was a policeman.

Well it was a dream! Don't you get it?

The look in his eyes scared me.

This means you're chickening out.

It means you're done for.

Done for!

I've got a charmed ring; Brought to me from Yemen.

It's been tested.

There's a saying:

If you want luck, get a rabbit's foot.

I told you a hundred times to put everything back in its place.

When are you going to learn?

Well which one is it? A ring or a foot?

It's a ring.

I wanted to keep it with me.

But now that you're chickening out, I'll lend it to you.

We are a team now.

Your luck is everyone's luck.

Luck!

Do you mean you believe in your stupid dreams, but not in luck?

Do you really believe a ring can bring us luck?

Then can you explain why we have to commit a robbery?

Or why did you lose your sight?

Or why did that idiot give us the slip?

Put yourself in his place.

If you could see,

Would you really plan a robbery with two blind men?

Of course not!

What do you mean?

You criticize me for a dream that I don't know how got into my head,

But you say that idiot had the right to give us the slip!

Even though we promised him the biggest share!

Yes. All right. He would get the biggest share of the loot.

But you and I know that he was the one who'd get shot.

I think he somehow found out.

Just imagine!

Someone commits a heist with two blind men,

And he's the only one who gets shot!

Of course he won't come!

So you agree that the plan is flawed?

That's what I've been saying all this time!

Don't you want the money?

So don't chicken out.

After the heist, you take the jewels to the address I gave you.

Number 1469.

The dealer will be waiting for you there.

You give him the jewels, and get the money.

Here's the charmed ring.

I bet it will bring us luck right from now.

After the heist, at the dealer's house

"1469"

Yes?

Hi, I'm Shahrooz.

I'm here about the project for this morning.

Our job is done.

Who?

Shahrooz!

I've brought the jewel box.

Walk two steps back and look at the hole.

Hole?

Which hole?

Go left when you're inside.

Miss?

Can you come in here for a moment please?

This is Manoochehr Khan's address.

Give him the jewel box and get cash.

Wait.

Come here.

Can you please cash this cheque at the bank?

Wait.

Can you excuse us for a moment please?

Mister!

Can you please step into the other room for a moment?

Who, me?

I'm sorry, I didn't realise.

You're holding a fortune in your hands!

How much?

Enough to settle down and build a life.

Have children. Live happily.

And if you're clever, your children can live happily too.

I'm saying this from the bottom of my heart.

So you can understand that I have to think of my kids' happiness.

Just like you have to.

And I'm telling you; My son can't be happy with you.

Do you understand what I'm talking about?

Happiness! You're holding it in your hands.

It might be in the hand of that man in the other room.

Or in anyone's hands.

I don't want to take anyone's happiness from them.

Because it belongs to them.

But you want to take away my happiness.

Take my son from me.

Go have fun with the money.

But if you return,

it means that you intend to mess his life up.

And you should know that the mess starts from your own life.

When I ask someone to leave,

I want them to leave,

And never come back.

Clear?

Yes. It's clear.

You can leave now.

Wait.

Tell that kid to come back in.

The girl is on his way.

Go after her.

I didn't know where else I could meet you,

so please excuse me for having come here.

You may not have noticed, but I always shop here.

I didn't have any intention to marry,

but when I first saw you...

Please wait!

I didn't mean to offend you.

I'm going to get my mother to ask for your hand from your family.

I just wanted you to know first.

Good morning, Sergeant!

You were late. We were worried about you. I was asked to come help you.

I was busy, but I came as fast as I could.

Bring the trolley to the queue.

Sir, the trouble about me going AWOL is getting really complicated.

But I swear I'm not to blame.

The last time I went to the movies on leave was three years ago;

When my uncle was sick.

Because he sells tickets in the cinema.

Unfortunately, "Women's Prison" was on.

I was a just lonely soldier. I lost my head.

I fell in love with the lead actress.

What could I do?

I went AWOL, and started searching for her.

But she didn't act again and I lost track of her.

Just think about it! I returned to the National Service with punishments and all that.

And now after three years she's started acting again with an art house film.

I don't know if there's any intentions behind it;

Her starting again just when I go back to the Service.

God knows!

And now, amidst all this,

My uncle's sick again.

I think God is testing me.

I read somewhere that she blamed poor screenplays for her inactivity.

But I can't believe that.

Because after all this, any sane person would see

that it's somehow because of me.

If you could please give me leave for today,

I can visit my sick uncle.

And also go find the lady,

talk to her,

clear things up!

Did you see that?

What Sir?

It's your turn Mister. Come on!

Sir, this leave can also help me find out about the supernatural.

Wait here.

I might even discover the nature of destiny.

We have to shop again.

What should we buy?

Doesn't matter.

It should just be classy.

As many bits and pieces as possible.

There's no more room Sir.

Doesn't matter. Put it in the back seat beside you.

Hello Sir! When did you get back?

Did you tell her?

Can you believe it? We queued four times.

Each time a man took her place.

Four times!

And we couldn't even discuss my leave.

One more word out of you about the leave and you'll go straight to solitary prison.

What about him? Did he talk?

No Sir. He still says he didn't have a bag.

You didn't? Do you think I'm blind?

When we get to the station, I'll send people to search the place inch by inch.

I arrest all criminals, blind or not.

Especially when I'm angry.

The sergeant's talking to you! Answer him!

I didn't have a bag!

Listen sonny boy, we've had our eye on that dealer for a week.

The sergeant saw you get out of there with the bag.

Just tell us where you dropped it.

He thinks he can escape me by acting like a blind man.

He doesn't know I'm wise to him.

Did you see that?

I got him!

Take off the glasses.

Put them back on.

I'm sick of it.

You're lucky we were late,

or we would have arrested you right there with the bag.

Then you had to talk your head off.

Let's go.

Shall I turn the sirens on?

However you like.

Stop the car.

What are you doing?

Nothing. Just throwing this ring away.

What is it?

A lucky charm.

Are you crazy then? Why are you throwing it away?

It just brings me bad luck.

Give it to me.

To you?

Yes! How do I know you're not destroying the evidence?

Hey kid!

I don't want to see you around that place again, all right?

- Are you talking to me? - Who else?

Now get lost!

I affected me so much that I haven't stopped talking about it since.

It was great.

I'm sure you would feel the same if you were there.

Man, it was extraordinary!

The man was ugly.

Tall and strange... It was great.

His body was fantastic.

He was just like you.

In fact, when I saw him, I thought:

We are truly similar.

Do you know what he always did when he got back home after bumping someone off?

He immediately watered his plant.

Do you know why? 'Cos he was very kind.

Then he fell in love with this girl.

What was the name of the film?

The name?

I don't know its name.

I just remember the theme, which was "kindness".

You know, no matter what film you're watching...

The theme has got to affect you.

And that film's theme was kindness, wasn't it?

Yeah.

This right has been taken from us in this country.

It's our own fault. We've never practiced being kind to each other.

You know? Never!

Well because there was no one to teach us.

Exactly! So we have to start with ourselves.

But let me tell you, in a country where you can't even be sure of your own job,

nothing can be trusted.

Nothing.

Hello?

The girl is on her way.

Go after her.

Yes Sir.

Close it.

We're going.

Is that all you're bringing?

That's all I'm bringing.

You have to bring something that causes kills immediately.

You have to show more kindness.

Then this is all I'm bringing.

That's all right.

Let's go.

Hi. It's me.

What happened?

She called someone.

She walked about for a minute,

then she came back to the phone.

Not her.

Who, then?

Alain Delon.

Alain Delon?

He played a hitman.

And he had a bird.

Called the Samurai.

Who? The bird?

No. I don't know

I don't know who was the Samurai.

But they had called the film "The Samurai".

Maybe Alain Delon was called that?

I'm in front of the bank. I'll meet you at our usual place in half an hour.

Should we go after her?

Wait until she gets a taxi. Then we'll go.

25 minutes later, at their usual place.

Good news or bad news?

Why did you come in this heap of junk?

I didn't want to arouse suspicion.

The bank vault's nearly empty.

I don't think anyone can get this much money out even by robbing the bank.

How much is it?

In your father's own words, enough to make our children's life happy.

There's also this.

We have to take it to Manoochehr Khan.

That's enough for now!

We have to go.

Do you remember Jalal?

Who?

Jalal!

The one who had that dog.

The one who killed himself.

Oh yeah. Jalal.

Do you know why he killed himself?

Because he couldn't take it anymore, wasn't it?

Because he had fallen in love.

In love with

with his dog.

Real love?

I don't think we can ever be as kind as him.

Eat your chips.

Did my father write this address?

How did you know?

It's his handwriting.

If the poor man only knew I'm eloping with you...

Even if we get far in our career,

we'll end up being like the dealer.

That's true.

One day, we might even send people round

to rough our own son up.

If only we had a dog. Or a cat.

A bird works even better.

You mean like a chicken?

Chickens don't count.

A bird

that can fly.

Are you here?

I saw the man leave.

Why did you leave that here?

What did he say?

He proposed to me!

Proposed?

- With all these corpses around? - Yeah.

What was your answer?

Obviously, I said no!

You did the right thing.

Men are all bastards.

Now where do you think we can fit Mr. Oily-Feet here?

Is this Elnaz 4 or Golnaz 4?

It's Elnaz 3.

That's a 4.

No, it's a 3. He's written it badly.

Is there a Golnaz street here?

Yes. The streets on this side are called Golnaz and the others Elnaz.

All Elnaz streets have even numbers, though.

Why are they wandering around?

Maybe they've seen us.

Slow down.

A bit further...

It won't budge.

There's room for the door to close.

OK. I'd better go.

Wait a second.

One is left outside.

Really?

Which way should we go?

That way.

Where did they go?

There it is!

Found it.

Now bring one of those beds in.

OK.

I think there are two outside now.

That man has cursed you.

Couldn't you say yes?

OK.

We gave it to Manoochehr Khan.

It's over!

It's only just begun.

I hope we haven't lost them.

Did you give that film to the dealer?

No. I didn't.

What about The Samurai?

That too.

You should be more generous with your films.

Damn!

Are you pleased now? We lost them.

Why don't you have your seat belt on?

The belt is broken. It's got a snag.

You're lying! Pull it down!

- It's broken. - Pull it down.

- It's got a snag. - Push it.

Push the button.

Push the front wheel in. It's stuck.

I think we can't move it.

You see that bar in front of you? Push that forwards a bit.

Do you mean this?

I think it's OK now.

- I can't believe it. - Count them.

Six!

Bye!

I think we've already passed this way.

We must go this way.

Which way?

This way.

Have we gone that way before?

No.

All right! We'll go that way.

Pick up the broken glass, please.

What?

Who said we should go this way?

Me.

So pick the broken glass up, please.

I don't know

what he was thinking.

Doesn't he understand?

There's my act of kindness.

Stop the car.

They look suspicious.

Leave it to me.

Now then, first tell me what is your relation with each other?

Us?

We're married.

Why are you out of breath?

What have you got in the bags?

We should take them to the station.

Yeah. But we haven't got room.

Shall I call for backup?

No. We have to take them ourselves.

But where can we put them?

- Shall I put the boxes in the trunk? - No, it's full.

We've bought a lot of things. All on expenses.

I've got the receipts.

What about the blind man? Are you sure he had a bag?

Of course I'm sure!

But we were a long way away. Are you sure you saw it?

Whatever you say!

I'm sure. He had a bag.

The but man's blind!

And the sunshine was very bright.

Are you sure?

'Cos I didn't see a bag with him.

Was the sunshine really that bright?

Yes, it was. Do you remember?

Yeah, now that I think of it, he didn't have a bag.

The sunshine was too bright.

Keep an eye on them; I'll be right back.

Why didn't you tell me about the sunshine's brightness sooner?

Hey kid!

I don't want to see you around that place again, all right?

- Are you talking to me? - Who else?

Now get lost!

You dirty double-crosser!

Wait a second!

So you two know each other!

All right, that's enough.

You can open your eyes now.

Come on! Open your eyes.

Excuse me. Can I sit up now?

Yes. Do as you like.

Well, dear Ashkan, I have to tell you something.

I think our sessions aren't working.

You should seek another doctor's help.

Please, do not record my voice.

But otherwise I'll forget what you're saying.

We're no longer talking about you and your disorder.

I believe we can't be a good pair.

During your therapy, how many times have you attempted suicide?

Fourteen times.

Well, that shows that I'm not a good doctor.

I'm not doing my job right.

No, doctor! Please, you have done your job right.

No need to console me.

I'll know how I'm doing.

You have to be confined somewhere. Tied up.

Tied up?

Yes, they should tie you up.

So you stop attempting suicide for a while.

Like junkies?

Yes. Something like that.

Like junkies.

Excuse me.

Doctor believes that I should be confined and tied up somewhere.

Ashkan, this was our last session.

Don't come here again.

Is there a particular reason? 'Cos I believe we've made a lot of progress.

Progress?

With an average of two attempted suicides a month?

That's not our fault at all, doctor!

You see, all the signs are there.

How can you expect me not to want to kill myself?

That's not at all logical.

Not logical?

Tell me something.

Why don't you die?

Why do your suicide attempts all fail?

Please don't look at it this way, doctor!

My family have all committed suicide.

My father, my mother, my sisters, my brother; All of them.

And they all had therapists like me.

But their doctors never felt like a failure because of them.

But I know why that is.

It's because I'm the black sheep of the family. Because they all succeeded.

Ashkan, I'm tired of listening to you.

Do you understand? Tired!

I'm having nightmares!

I can't even drink a glass of water!

If it's empty, it seems to me like a sign for suicide.

I think at times like these, you should concentrate on something else.

Don't throw my own words back at me!

Why don't you buy the girl some flowers?

Thing might turn to be OK.

Or maybe one day there might be a lightning shower,

And an angel might come down from the sky,

to tell you of your mission in life.

An angel.

Hello!

Is there anyone here?

I'll be there in a moment!

- Hello! - Oh, it's you. Hello.

How are you?

I'm fine, thanks.

Excuse me, are Mahmoud and the guys in?

No, they're all gone.

Gone?

Yes. The company's bankrupt.

I'm clearing my desk.

I'm the last to do that.

Could you lend a hand, please?

Of course!

Excuse me, can I use the toilet?

Of course. It's over there.

You're going to step out,

give her the flower, say what you've come to say,

then say goodbye and be on your way like a good boy.

Now go!

I have to go.

Thanks for your help.

Just let the caretaker know when you're leaving.

Just shut the door on your way. Bye.

This is a love song...

For Ashkan, who is lonely,

For Ashkan, who laughs at the world.

Hi. I though you weren't here.

Where were you until now?

Well...

Floor six needs service.

Here. Take this as well.

This is a love song...

A love song...

This is the key to your problem...

This is your easy way out...

This is your warm cafe in the cold road...

This is just a torn rope...

For the prisoner, it's the idea of another attempt to escape...

It's a love song...

It's hard. You know...

It's hard to sit on the bed waiting to begin, and then talk about myself.

I mean, I should stop talking and begin.

But before I do, there's something I have to say.

I don't want to seem clumsy and inexperienced,

because I think I have enough experience in this matter.

I want to make everyone proud. Especially my family;

'Cos I think it'll make them happy more than anyone.

The signs are telling me that everything is ready today.

I don't think there are many who have discussed this matter with their family.

In fact, I don't think anyone would want to do that.

But I'm sure that my family are eager to see what I can do.

I've though a lot about what I've heard today.

But I don't think there's much chance of supernatural rescue.

I have to find and choose the right way on my own.

All the signs are there today.

I'm sure it's different than other times.

Oh! Let me tell you that:

I'm not under the influence of any substance,

and I mean everything I say.

Of course, I always say this,

because I don't want it to seem otherwise.

I've got a charmed ring.

Brought to me from Yemen.

It's been tested.

There's a saying: If you want luck, get a rabbit's foot.

When are you going to learn?

Well which one is it? A ring or a foot?

But now that you're chickening out, I'll lend it to you.

Luck!

Do you mean you believe in your stupid dreams, but not in luck?

Then can you explain why we have to commit a robbery?

Or why did that idiot give us the slip?

Well, he was right not to come.

He was right to decide not to commit a heist with two blind men.

Would you really plan robbery with two blind men if you could see?

Of course not!

What do you mean?

You criticize me for a dream that I don't know how got into my head,

But you say that idiot had the right to give us the slip!

Even though we promised him the biggest share!

Yes. All right. He would get the biggest share of the loot.

But he was also the one who'd get shot.

I think he somehow found out. Just imagine!

Someone commits a heist with two blind men,

And he's the only one who gets shot!

Of course he won't come!

That's what I've been saying! The plan is flawed.

Don't you want the money?

So don't chicken out.

After the heist, you take the jewels to the address I gave you.

Number 1469.

The dealer will be waiting for you there.

You give him the jewels, and get the money.

Here's the charmed ring.

I bet it will bring us luck right from now.

Are you sure they're going to shoot me?

Yes, sure.

I planned it all myself.

They'll shoot you for sure.

All right then. Let's go.

OK.

Are you ready Shahrooz?

Yeah.

1,2,3,4, 5,

6,♪, 8,9,10,

11, 12, 13, 14, 15,

16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22

23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28.

Did he reach the trash can?

Yes, he's there.

Has he been here before?

Him? No. But I used to work here for a while.

Is he in?

Yeah, he's in.

It's our turn then. Let's go.

Hi!

Hi. How are you?

Fine, thanks. I'm Shahrooz Mokri.

I have an appointment to buy some jewels.

Did you make the appointment yourself?

Yes, I did.

Excuse me, could you wait here a moment please?

Of course.

Hi. Number 64.

Hello.

Hello.

Welcome. Sorry for the delay.

It's all right, thanks.

This way please.

Of course.

We always present our costumers with a catalogue instead of the actual pieces.

Of course, Iranians don't like this method of purchase much,

But we have to do this for security reasons.

Are these photographs really accurate?

Of course!

We can show you every piece that you choose.

I want all the jewels on page 36. The full set.

Of course. But it's our policy not to accept cheques.

I always pay in cash.

That's great.

Miss! Could you bring the gentleman what he wants?

It's correct.

Thanks for your purchase.

Here you are Sir.

Who, me?

Sorry. I didn't realise.

We design most of our pieces ourselves,

and our costumers are almost always satisfied.

And finally, if the jewels need mending,

we can mend them perfectly.

Thanks.

You're welcome. I hope you're pleased with your purchase.

Thanks.

Good day.

Thanks again.

Goodbye Sir.

Good luck!

1,2,3

Ali Agha? Ali Agha?

- Who is it? - It's me; Reza!

Reza who?

Oh, hello Reza! What are you doing here?

I had come to visit the guys, but there's something going on upstairs.

- I heard shooting! - Yes. There's been a robbery.

Can I leave by the back door?

OK. Here you go.

- Excuse me! - Yes Sir?

I'm looking for a medical student. Ms. Shaghayegh Esbati.

The medical students are in the dissection room.

Do you need assistance Sir?

Here's a chair. Please sit down.

Thanks.

Call her when the class is over.

OK.

the crime scene report.

Two, these cards on the victim's chest.

And three, the victim himself.

So, the main thing you have to do,

is to stare at the corpse like you're Sherlock Holmes,

to discover the cause of death.

So look carefully at his face.

The fact is that finding the cause of death has always been a matter for discussion.

And it has various methods; Some even too difficult for pathologist.

He was very young. And very energetic.

And it must have taken a lot of energy to kill him.

The corpse is speaking to us about the cause of his death.

Corpses like this, that have been subject to long and painful deaths,

Provide medical science with many opportunities.

And we can say exactly how and why he died.

This corpse is the product of violent revenge.

This young man has died a long death; Step by step.

And it's interesting that we can imagine every second of his death.

As if we were standing right there at the scene of the crime.

We can deduct from his age that he probably had a love in his life.

Love, money, family problems and psychotic fits.

These are the main motives for these crimes.

When we read the pre-dissection reports,

we can see that his stomach had been empty for a long time.

This reaffirms our guess that the victim had been imprisoned in his own home.

I call these kinds of death "Deaths of Passion".

Of course, it sounds much better in French.

Deaths of Passion.

Most prevalent among students, and sometimes professors.

India, Lichtenstein and Iran.

Countries with the highest number of Deaths of Passion.

Please note the soles of the victim's feet.

They're smeared with oil.

Criminals sometimes leave false evidence to confuse the police.

They've got different methods for that.

Though I have to admit that I had never seen it done with oily feet.

Now we come to the most important piece of evidence on the victim's neck.

This, along with the information from the crime scene,

shows us that the killer or killers have tried to suffocate him with a piece of string,

before trying to cut his head off.

Deaths of Passion can happen in three way.

One:

You're killed by your rival.

Two:

You kill yourself.

And three:

You're killed by your lover.

Experience shows that Deaths of Passion are the worst kind of death.

They wanted to decapitate him at first.

That's why they made him drink water.

This young man is one of the worst cases of Death of Passion.

He's been imprisoned, tortured and then murdered.

And finally, we come to the strange weapon of murder.

A simple pot plant pole, pushed through the victim's chest.

One of those rarely seen methods of murder.

This victim can be said to be a unique case.

But remember that these corpses usually cause a lot of trouble.

And now I have to ask Ms Esbati To put away this troublesome corpse

in one of the rooms.

Excuse me, can I speak to Ms Esbati?

Great! Thanks Mr. Reza!

He's really grown up!

He's dead, isn't he?

Yeah, sit down.

Thanks! You knew how much I'd love it!

You had missed it, didn't you?

Yeah! But you love it more than me!

Now it's yours.

Thanks Mr. Reza. You're too kind.

Just be careful to keep it in the bowl. Never put it in any other water.

Why? Will it die?

No. But this fish can swim in all the waters of the world.

Because as you know, the world's waters are all connected.

For example, they take this fish to the Katalkhor cave.

They tie a string to its tail and put it in the water.

And if he came out in, for example, the Alisadr cave,

they'll know that these two caves are connected.

Then they follow the string, and discover the passage between the caves.

It's used mainly for research purposes.

So I can use it for some of my own studies as well.

Yeah, but it's hard to control.

Put it in the bathtub and it might end up in the Mediterranean.

And you haven't got a string that long, do you?

Of course not.

So you'll lose it.

There are only two of these fish living in Iran.

I wanted to catch the other one as well,

but I lost my eyesight.

Is that the only reason you came here, Mr. Reza?

No.

Well, I'm leaving the country forever.

So I came here

to propose to you.

My dear Reza! How nice to see you!

Is that you, Farrokh?

Welcome! Come in!

Come here!

Please! Have a seat!

Please take my seat.

Thanks!

Never mind. I'll pick them up.

Never mind.

don't like this method of purchase much,

but we have to do this for security reasons.

Are these photographs really accurate?

Of course!

There were only three of those fish in Iran.

One died during the war.

They were using it to spy on the enemy.

I caught one of the other two,

but I lost my eyes and couldn't catch the other one.

But no one spends money on these things here.

If I knew that, I wouldn't have lost my eyes because of it.

I'm taking it to Tunisia. I've found a costumer for it.

Hello?

Yes Sir.

They want to pick up some pieces from the vault.

Excuse me Reza. I'll be right back.

Here you are Sir.

Who, me? Sorry, I didn't realise.

Mister!

Get in.

Mister! Could you please come here?

No, sorry. Miss, could you...?

Good evening. Excuse me, hands up please.

Stand up, please.

Please stand up.

- You too, Sir, if you could... - Who, me?

Yes. You. Stand up.

Go stand over there. You too, Miss.

Now, if you could just get your guns out...

Put them on the floor.

Now slide them slowly over to me.

The other one too, please.

OK.

Now, if you could...

Just face the wall.

You too, Miss.

Well, now...

Now you can turn back.

I'm going to go up the stairs and get out through the door.

But please don't pick your guns up before I'm out.

OK?

Promise?

Should we go after him?

No, he said he's going to go up the stairs,

and get through the door.

Now! Let's go!

Ali Agha? Ali Agha?

Who is it?

It's me! Reza!

Stop!

Shoot him!

It's jammed. But I think I got him.

Hey you! Stop!

Mr. Bahman!

The statue is down.

Hamid! Hamid!

It's Caribbean's prophecy.
