You could only hear the sobbing of Mashti Hassan's wife, ... sitting alone with her lit lantern on the stable's roof and the desperate moans of a cow from inside the stable. Sir! is it a true story? True? No, but you could say that in a way, in Saedi's stories the scenery, the type of characters, and relationships are real. Very real. Sir, how can someone turn into a cow? Try looking in the mirror. You think you're funny, huh? But seriously, Sir, how does a person turn into a cow? Gradually... Sir, are we gonna watch the film of this story too? Yeah, that's a good idea. Maybe I bring it next time and we can watch it together. Yes? Sir, when can we see your play? The performance begins next week.

When you come, you'll see for yourselves. What's it's model, Sir? - What? - Your Peugeot 206, you know. - Why do you wanna know? - Aren't you selling, Sir? Sir, his dad's a parking officer, just tell him to scrap your fines for you. Do you even commit driving offenses, Sir? Sir, why do Iranians call BMWs "Bee-Em-Veh"s? I didn't hear you. Why do Iranians call BMWs "Bee-Em-Veh"s? - Get outa here! - Dude, just zip it! That's alright. He doesn't know, so he's asking. I don't know either. Guys... eh, for your next session...

So it's good? You're just two people, what do you need all this space for anyways? Watch your mouth, "two people"! Who knows, maybe we end up being three people... Rana, is he serious? No, come on! - He doesn't look like it. - Why is that? Is this door locked? Is it locked? The previous tenant's stuff is in there; they're supposed to be collecting it. Don't be scared kitty, it's just me. - How long's it been vacant? - Three weeks. What are they doing to this city? I wish we could tear it all down and start again They've already destroyed and rebuilt it, and look how it's turned out... Babak? Yes dear God have mercy on us. When do you think they'll clear their stuff out? They promised they'll be here in the next day or two There's no parking, you'll have to leave your car on the street. We don't need parking anyways. We're selling our car to pay your mortgage down payment. Who mentioned money? Well, either way... Hello Hello Mr Salimi. One of the good things about this place are Mr. Shanazari and his wife. - Hello. - Hello, how're you doing? - Hello. - Hello, hello. how do you do Ma'am? Babak, which one's the storage?

Please make sure it doesn't turn out like the last one. - No, come on, I know these guys. - You said you knew the last ones too. Don't worry about it. - Babak, what do they do? - They're my friends, they're into arts. I hope so It's okay for a few months. Just make sure he lets us pay him for it. No favors. Looks like we've finally caught a break. Careful, don't rush - You need help, Sir? - No, you go ahead and bring the rest. Just be careful not to hit the light-bulb. Sorry sir, thanks for the help. - Are the keys here too? - They took that one room's with 'em. Where's Ali? Ali... Yep? For God's sake, leave that alone, I'll call an electrician tomorrow. It'll only take a second Leave it, man! If she'd said, we wouldn't have hired the truck and the movers. How was I supposed to know? She sounded so sure that I didn't think she'd bail on us. So, what's she saying now? Hasn't answered ever since this morning. Why don't you try from a different number? Bring your phone Nana. We really need that room, we've brought a pickup full our things. Yes Okay He's here if you like to speak to him, Thanks Says, she's said all she has to say to you. Well, what did she say? She signed the contract on a new place two days ago, but the landlord bucked at the last moment, She's looking for a place, but can't come for her stuff until she finds somewhere. She said to tell you not to let anyone touch her stuff. Please. Oh, yeah, and she doesn't want to talk to you again. Any news? What happened? I don't know, nothing for now. Let me take it, Kati. Ali - Yes? - You got a screwdriver in your car? This is enough stuff for a bride's dowry! I thought it was just a few bits and pieces. - Maybe we should leave it... - It's fine, I'll take responsibility for it Alright, boys, let's move those things over there. Rana... mumbling These are people's belongings What do you want me to do? It's been 3 days now. She keeps saying... ... "I'm coming today, I'll come tomorrow." What if she shows up? Well she should've kept her word then. Never mind. Come on! Guys, I can't carry anything heavy! Mr? Come on, let's eat. Rana, dear! Yes dear? Honey... the charger. I'll turn into words, run through your ears... I'll turn into thoughts, stick in your head... I'll be a Benz, race under your feet... I'll be poverty in your purse... I'll be a wolf, raid your herd. You two, go to the door and bring over one of those boxes. Hi guys Are these your 206's car parts, Sir? Put these in front of the principal's office, tell the librarian to come see me. Put these in front of the principal's office, tell the librarian to come see me. Very good guys, I want the poem memorized for next time. Okay. Thank you. Bye, Sir. Bye. - Bye, Sir! - So, long. Thanks Sir Goodbye - Sir, can I say something? - What? Sir, I was really pissed off the other day. Which day? The day that woman insulted you in the Taxi. Was it an insult? You know, that she said, she wants to sit in the front seat. Sir, after you got out of the car, I told them that you were my teacher. And that we all love you so much. Like, all the guys. What was your first name again? Amin.. Amin, you can be sure, some guy had done something to her in a taxi before... ...to make her think that way about everyone. Don't worry about it, it's just the first 100 years that are tough. See you Bye See you Bye Okay Of all the time... I don't know what to do with her. Who? This woman I called to ask when she'll clear her stuff out. She got angry, started threatening... Over what? "Why did you touch my personal things? those were my private stuff... ... I'll sue you.." Last night I was running around, saving her stuff from the rain, up until morning. Her problem's something else... - Who Babak, the woman? - Yeah. When's she coming to get her stuff? Says, whenever she finds a place. Sadra darling, come here with me. Hurry up. Hurry up guys, the audience will be in in five minutes. Emad... Emad, they're coming here again after the performance. They've approved 3 of the 6 revisions, there's another three left. if you stay around after the performance, you can talk to them. Tonight after the performance? Yes If it helps, I'll stay. Sure, or else there's a chance they might cancel the whole show tomorrow. How many did they say? Three... Guys will you please hurry up! I'll go, then. Won't you wait around? No, you'll be stuck here until around midnight. Take the car, then. Where are the house keys? In my coat's pocket. Have a good performance You too! Say, on your way back, if the supermarket's open... ... buy something, we've got nothing for breakfast. Yes, I said if it's open. If it's open! Also, pick up some hand sanitizer. Maybe I take a shower until you get here. No not at all, I'm a mess. I haven't even wiped off my stage makeup. I'll be out soon... soon. Yup... love you, bye. Anything else? That's all, thanks. Be my guest. Are you paying by card? No, cash. Hello Ma'am Hello? Good evening, I'm your upstairs neighbor. We've just moved in, could you open the door please? Thank you. Rana? Rana? Rana? Rana! What happened to you? Please step outside, Sir. You can't be in here, Sir. We'll call you when for the CT scan. Wait outside, please. Look at me Rana... Everything's fine, I'll call you for the CT scan... Please. Make sure you change the locks first thing tomorrow. Why? Did someone get into the house? I thought she'd fainted, was dizzy or... We don't know what happened yet All of a sudden we heard shouting and screaming from upstairs. Not like, normal, not once, scream after scream... I told him go upstairs and check, he said, couples get into fights all the time. Then we heard some heavy bangs in the stairs, I told him "Muhammad, God knows, something's up." Who was it? By the time we reached the stairs, we just saw someone fleeing up the street. I don't know what happened to his foot, but it had bled all over the stairs. If I'd caught him, he'd be dead now. Then we went upstairs and found your wife unconscious... there was blood all over the bathroom floor. I dressed her and brought her here. Never mind that, thank God something worse didn't happen. Woman, do us a favour, go to the ER, and check if there's any news or something. Sorry about putting you to all this trouble. Have a seat, sit down, son. Was anything missing from the house? I don't know. I didn't notice anything. I don't think it was a robbery. What would a thief be doing in the bathroom? Then who was it? The guy was one of that woman's customers. Who? What woman? The woman who lived there before you moving in. Tell you the truth, she was kind of messed up... ... and I think, the guy came here on account of her still being there. Don't shut the door, Ali's coming up Don't shut the door, Ali's coming up. Sure Come on, lie down. Take my sleeve, hold this bit. Thanks Wait, let me take off your scarf. You want me to put two pillows for you? No. Turn off the light, so she can sleep. Don't turn it off. Can I get you anything? No, thanks. Where are you going, Emad? Darling? I said, where are you going? I'm not going anywhere, I'll be here. Do you need anything? Nope. Leave the door open. Okay, thanks Look, her blood pressure's low, be careful when she's walking around. Thanks for everything. Sit down guys, I'll make you some breakfast. No thanks, I'm fine. Come on, you haven't eaten since last night. Kati, you wanna stay here, and make soup or something for them? - You want me to stay? - You want Kati to stay? No, no. Are you sure? You must be tired. Go, get some rest. Call if you need anything. Really, man, just let us know. - Thanks again for everything, guys. - Bye ... scrap metal... Iron doors... Aluminium doors... Fences... Metal dishes... buying... ... scrap metal... lamps...Samovars... anything, bring it over... Come on, stand here while I use the bathroom. What are you doing? Leave it, I'll wash it myself, Rana, dear. Leave it. Come and wash it then. Alright, turn off the water and come out. Then, come and clean it before I use it. The police might need to see it. Yes? Of course, sorry Who was it? A neighbor What did they say? I'll be right back. Sorry I'm really sorry for all the trouble you've been put through, ma'am. Now, come on, don't say that. I think you should call 110, they'll be able to track him down through the car. Yeah, I'll definitely do that. Anyways, I'll try to find some place... Here I was thinking, when that woman left she's taken all her troubles with her. Have you ever seen this car's owner around here? Well, it wasn't like, just a couple guys visiting her. I might have to trouble you again when the police comes... ...if they have any questions about exactly what you saw. Of course, it's our duty. Would you like to take my mobile number? Yes, please. I'll get going. Thank you so much, ma'am. They should put an ewer around these guys necks, and parade them around the city, shaming them. 0912... Why are you out here? Come in I'm scared of being alone in the house. Where did you go? I went to thank the neighbors for last night. What did they say? Nothing. They asked how you were. You didn't tell Kati and the guys what happened, did you? No. Okay, I'm going to the police station. We have to file a complaint for them to start looking for the guy. How will they find him? He left his pickup behind. His mobile too, but it's disconnected. Who was he, Emad? The neighbors are saying the woman who lived here before us was shady. The scumbag must've been one of her customers. Came here on account of her. Do you remember what he looked like? No Didn't you get a look at him? It's cold. Come inside, you'll catch a cold. Gimme that. Who helped me out of the bathroom? One of the neighbors. Which one? I don't know, just forget it. Eat your breakfast. and then go get some rest. I can't. As soon as I close my eyes that scene comes to my mind. How did he get in? I opened the door, I thought it was you. I came out of the bathroom, buzzed him in, and then went back. I was shampooing my hair when I realised someone had come in. He put his hand in my hair from behind and I thought it was you. But then I saw his hands and after that it's blank. Rana... Darling, have some breakfast. Rana, dear... Sweetie... What about tonight's performance? I called and told them to cancel it. No, call and say I'm coming. How? In this condition of yours? It's harder for me to stay at home. Put this on, let's go to the police station. We might get held up there for a while anyways. No, leave it. Let's not go to the station. We can't just do nothing! I don't want to have to go there and tell a bunch of officers or whoever what happened. Did something happen that you can't tell? No. Then, you don't have to say anything. I'll tell 'em myself. I can't, it'll be too much. No, this isn't foolish talk, Linda. When I'm walking in the street, I clearly feel these things... ...They pass me by, but it's as if they're laughing at me with their eyes. Why? Why would they laugh at you? Don't talk that way about yourself, Willy. Sometimes they pass me by as if I don't even exist. As though nobody sees me. Nobody notices me. Nothing. Linda? How long are you going to spend repairing those socks, huh? You know it makes me angry. At least don't do it while I'm home, talking to you. Okay? Okay, we'll talk about something else, for example my income. My never-changing income. God, this is really ridiculous. What's wrong with you?.. why aren't you saying your lines? Willy, darling, you're the most handsome man in the world to me. You always say this to me, Linda, always, but it doesn't help me at all. I'll never be able to make you happy, do you know why? Because I'm just a salesman. I'm nothing! I'm nothing, Linda! But I always tried... why are you crying, anyways? Wait, where are you going? Linda, come back... Sorry, I have to stop the play. I apologize to you all. My wife, the other actor, isn't feeling well. Please give us a ten minute intermission. Sorry. Can you carry on? What do you mean, Kati? Can't you see she's not well? Go on, cancel it. Do you wanna go to the other room and lie down a little? Alright, guys, let's just clear the room. She's not well. Sanam, dear. I'm coming. Can I get you anything? Kati darling... Go and cancel the show What happened there? The way someone in the audience was staring at me bothered me. The audience've come to watch the play, of course they'll be looking at you. Looked at me just like that guy. I thought you said you didn't see him. I'm really unwell, I just don't know what to do. Babak, come here a minute. Coming... Is she feeling better? Goddamit, man, what can I say to you...? Don't you think you had to let me know about the kind of people who used to live in there? - What's happened? - You're supposed to be my friend Seriously, what's happened? What is it to you who lived there before? That apartment's infamous in the whole neighborhood. Who's said such a thing? Let's say nobody's said anything, why isn't this woman coming to collect her stuff? I just wanted to help. Remember the state you were in, last week? Ready to sleep on the set? Regardless, should you have hidden that woman's line of work from me? What hiding? Well, yeah. Did you tell me or not? Was I supposed to pass on to you some unfounded gossip? To upset you? Well, what's going, anyways? What's this all about? Babak, I'm going I'm coming. Go take a look at Rana, you'll see what this is all about. They said she slipped in the bathroom. We said right in front of you we might be having a kid in that place. And you didn't say a word, what kind of... You were joking! If we weren't joking, would you have told us? Told you what?! Put yourself in my shoes, the same room we sleep in, each night... ...how many strange men have been with that woman. Don't take it so hard on yourself. I haven't cashed your check yet. Whenever you find another place whose previous tenants had your approval, you can move out. Hello Hello Hello Hello How are you doing Be careful not to slip on the stairs Mrs Shahnazari, they're wet. I was actually going to ask the cleaner to come early and sort these out. But, I thought you'd want to report it, the police might want to see them. Well, it wasn't such a big deal. You wouldn't say that, if you'd been there and seen the state your wife was in, on the bathroom floor. When Mr. Alimoradi opened the bathroom door, he thought, God forbid, your wife was dead. Say hello from me. Get up, I've made some breakfast for you. I'm heading out. Wait. Wait, I'll get ready and come with you. Where to? I have class. I know, I'll wait in the car. It's not just an hour or two, you'll get tired. Then don't go today. What? I said, don't go today. Let's say I don't, what about tomorrow then? The day after tomorrow? It's not gonna work. I can't stay here alone. I said, I don't want to be here alone. What can I do? You want me to get you a ticket to visit your parents for a few days? Looking like this? I've made up my mind... ... we either have to go to the police, or forget this altogether. Okay forget it,but let's look for a new apartment right from today. Okay, we'll start looking. But until we find somewhere, you need to try and pick yourself up. What do you mean? It's not something I can control. You taking your pills and not staying up all night getting worked up about it, is up to you, isn't it? Go take a shower, I'll wait here. I don't want to go in that bathroom. I'll drop you off at a friend's place. Use theirs. Go and tell them we've come to take a shower? What do you want me to do? You keep changing your mind. At night you tell me not to come near you, then in the morning you tell me not to leave you. Tell me what to do and I'll do it. Just go, you're late It'll take a couple weeks to find a place. What? You're not gonna wash up with that wound of yours? I love you. Just think, it could've been worse. What if a piece of glass had gone in your eye, or your head had been hit harder? Then... ...then what the hell would I have done? I wish my head had been hit harder. God forbid! Honey, don't say things like that. Hello, Mr. Etesami. Hello Sir, how are you doing? Mr. Yeganeh gave me these books to give them to you. Be quiet. What's so funny? Why? He said they're not suitable for kids. Quiet! Mr. Yeganeh decided these weren't suitable for the kids?! Go, throw them in the bin. Why the bin? Just throw them away. Give me your phone. I don't have a phone, Sir. Give it to me. I don't have a cell. Sir, wait a minute. Give it to me. Sir, there's nothing in it about you. I want to see what you have I've deleted it Let me see it Sir please, I've deleted it Sir, I have private photos in there Put your hand down That's not fair Mr Etesami? Sir? I have personal things on there. I deleted the video. On my mother's life, I deleted it Sir, send it on Telegram, so that everyone can see. It's much better than this movie. I'll kick you out of the class, if you say another word. Mr. Etesami! Sorry, Sir You stay out of this! Mr Etesami? I mean all of you. I'm talking to him. I deleted it Please Call your father to come to the school and see the kind of photos you have on your cell. His dad's dead, Sir. Hi, sorry about that Hi, no problem. If it's a hassle for you to keep moving it, then you can leave it in the corner. Next to the boiler room. When my husband gets back he'll move it to a better place. I don't want you to have to keep going up and down the stairs. I'm going out for a couple of hours you can take my spot. Don't worry, I'll find a better place for it. Suit yourself. Sorry If you give me the keys, I can do it Thanks My wife said, you're not going to report it. No. You're doing the right thing, they won't do anything, even if they catch him. And you'll have to explain over and over why you opened the door ... plus trekking back and forth to the court. Endless hassle for nothing But he'll probably be back for his car. Please, call me if he shows up. I'll sort out that bastard. I'll take mine out and then come and park yours. There's no need, I'll do it myself. Okay, then, goodbye. Thanks. Goodbye How's it going?

Yep, he's back there. Hi Hi Why didn't you tell me yesterday? What should I have told you? About the man turning up the other night. How's Rana? The neighbors told you They're also worried... Tell 'em nothing happened, the guy just barged in. Then why are you keeping his pickup? Shahnazari said it's in the parking lot. Tell them we'll be gone soon we're looking for a new place. Where will you go? I won't let you Can you find that previous tenant and arrange a meeting for me? Why? I wanna talk to her. Ask her why she did this Did what? Did what? Sent this thug to our house Why would she do that? You said yourself, she made threats about us touching her stuff. She's nothing like that. She hasn't taken her stuff because she still hasn't found a place. She was just annoyed with me that day. Hello Feeling better? Yep, I'm fine thanks Did you tell the guys? No Then how do they know? One of the neighbor had called Babak. I'm not sure what they said Emad, get dressed and come for the make up. My outfit's not here Kati's going to take your place tonight. And you accepted, just like that? What can I do? It's not up to me. The director wanted her to replace you tonight. If you're alright, and you can do it, I'll go talk to her.

No, thank God It was a pickup, if I give you the number plate... Can your Dad find the guy's address? If it's not too much trouble, that is. Sure, he has contacts in the department. If you gimme the license plate, he can find out. But, I think you should report it. It wasn't anything serious, so I don't wanna get the police mixed up. Okay, gimme the registration and I'll call my Dad. - Get a pen and a paper, then. - Okay. Why dont you want to work for me? Have you lost your mind, Charlie? I've got a job.

Not on the stage, calling me, "You degenerate!" It's neither improvisation, nor acting, you're insulting me. What? Did I hurt your feeling? Yeah. And if you do that one more time, I'll answer you right in front of everyone. Degenerate is the one who speaks his mind through swearing. Didn't know that. I'm really sorry. Bakery Hello, how're you doing? Speaking Azeri What can I do for you? Two baguettes, please. You want 'em cut? Thanks a lot. That pickup is yours? Why? There's an officer writing tickets, from the top of the street. Majid, come here, go move the car. ...before the officer slaps a ticket on it. Soheil, bring the keys. - Here you go. - Thanks. Later. Bye. Here you go, Sir. Thanks. Thanks, dude. I'll take a water. Hello, mister, sorry is that your pickup? Yeah. I had some load, I wanted to ask you to move it for me. Nah, that pickup is for a store. Well, not now, whenever you're free. No, it's just that, I do something else. I don't do that. Not even Friday? Nah. You can find pickups at the top of Haft-e-Tir. No, it's just that, my stuff are books and paintings and things like that, I was looking for a softopper. You know, on account of rain or things like that. I'm really busy. I don't have time. I don't care about the fee. I'll pay. I just want my stuff to get there safe. It's just that, I'm busy. I can't. Majid, come on, man. Help the guy. Late night or something. Well, how about you gimme your number? I'll call you whenever you say. And if you come yourself, even better. Bro, find some time between your schedule for him. Careful not to hit the walls. Ah! what're you doing here? Come here... kitty... Careful with that not to scratch it. Babak, tell 'em to come have a cup of tea. - There's no need for that. - It's getting cold. Where are you taking these? I'm taking'em to my parent's parking lot. We'll see what happens. Won't she come to take 'em? She's got problems of her own. She hasn't found a place yet. Get up, Babak wants to take away that woman's stuff. What do you want me to do? What's going on between you two? Nothing, let him take 'em. That's okay with me. Hello? Majid? It's me, Etesami, couple days ago. You free today? How about Friday? Yeah? You? Yeah, come on up. Hello, can I help you? Hello, Sir. You okay? Have I come to the right place? Majid said, there's some stuff you need to move. That's right, come on in. Why didn't he come himself? Well, he was busy, so he sent me instead. - After you. - You first. But he didn't say anything about all these stairs. With this heart of mine. Well, if I knew you're coming, I would've told him about the stairs, and the broken elevator. Well, I can't use elevators anyways, Sir. Would you gimme a glass of water? Have you hired movers? No, I thought he's coming. And, we'd take the boxes ourselves. Well, the poor guy was kinda busy today. - Is he your son? - Nah, my son-in-law. Doesn't make a difference though. He's like my own son. Sorry, old man, we just moved out. There's no glasses or anything. That's alright, mister. I'll drink from the tap. Where are the boxes? In that room. We'll see. If there's too many, we'll call movers. Give him a call. Maybe he's around here somewhere. I can pick him up. Who? Your son-in-law. Nah, the poor souls just went shopping for the "exchange of the vows" ceremony. Isn't the janitor allowed to help here? Nah, the building's empty. The walls caved, the residents have all moved out. Wow, wow! what if it collapses on us or something? Nah. Let's take a look and see if it's worth hiring movers. Grandpa! What? Would you come sit here for a sec? I wanna tell you something. Look here, mister, this isn't my line of work. Majid, said, "there's this guy, who's called a couple times... ...would you do it?" I said, okay, why not? Now, you paying depends on how generous you're feeling. Nah, it's not about... wages, fees, and stuff like that. Just sit down. There's something I have to tell you. Good news, I hope. How long do you know this guy? - My son-in-law? - Yeah. What for? I wanna know if you know him well. Well, it's about two years they've asked for my daughter's hand. Have you asked around about him? Do you know Majid? If there's anything you know, just tell me. When my wife and I moved out of here, we went to a place that... ...it's previous tenant was... you know, a woman of the street. One night, when I got home a little late. My wife was alone in the house. One of these lowlifes on account of that woman still being there... ...enters my house. When my wife was in the bathroom. The jerk goes into the bathroom. Who? That filthy son-in-law of yours. Now, how do you know it was Majid? When my wife starts screaming, the guys makes a run for it, but... He was in such a hurry that, he leaves his pickup behind. I found him from his pickup. I went down to where he works. I wanted to go there, grab hold of him... ...and dishonor him in front of all his co-workers, but... I couldn't bring myself to do it. This pickup changes hands a lot in that store. That's why I asked him to come here. To talk to him, and ask him... ... if it was him or someone else. Majid's not like that... if I find out it's been him, I'll call off everything. The wedding and all. How's your wife, now? I don't know what to say. Let me talk to him tonight. Give him a call and tell him I wanna talk to him. Tell him to come here, I wanna ask him who's done it. Well, it's just, they've gone with my wife and daughter for "the exchange of vows" shopping. Well, at least give him a call. Ask him who had his pickup that night. When did this happen? About two weeks ago. Okay, so you just let me talk to him tonight... Oh my... But, I wanna talk to him, old man. Wait a second, I wanna talk to him. Call him. I don't have his number in my phone. I have it. When I say call him to come here, it's because I don't want to... ...go down to the store, make a scene in front of his co-workers. You just let me make sure it's him. I have to talk to him in such a way that I'll get an answer... How about I call him myself, huh? You want me to do it? Okay, let me just dial his number. Hello, Majid? Hi, son... where are you guys? Yeah, I'm here with him. Who's with you? Listen, when you're alone, gimme a call. I wanna tell you something. Call my cell. I don't have it memorized. Ask Moj'gan. Okay... it's nothing... Bye. He said, he'll call when he's alone. Say, what do you do yourself? I work with this car of Majid's. His pickup. I sell clothes from the back of the pickup, at nights. and I don't come out during the day, on account of my heart. And, how come you don't have your son-in-law's number? Well, I just don't. Not just him, a lot of people. Have you just bought this number of yours? No. How come... your son-in-law doesn't have your number? You just told him to get it from someone else, huh? I don't know, man, I don't know. I'm so messed up right now that, I don't even remember my own name. Wait a second, old man. - It won't open. - Not so fast. Wait a minute. If it's okay, I want you to take off your shoes. What for? I wanna see your foot. Mister, I'm as old as your father, you telling me to take off my shoes? Open the door, let me go! I didn't do anything to you. Why are you talking like that? Take it easy. Just take off your shoes for a sec. Then, I'll open the door for you to leave. Why should I take off my shoes? Open the door! Hush! Come here. Let's go over there. Sit on the stair, for a sec, take off your shoes. Sit! Sit down! Just sit, okay? Take off your shoes, please. I'm not feeling well, just don't! Well, let me help you. I'll take it off, okay. whispering: I'll take it off. The other one, take off the other one too. Your socks too. Mister, what do you want from me? Take 'em off! I said, take off your socks. Let me do it myself. - No! - Let me!.. just let me! Hello, Siavash! No, I'm a little busy right now. What time is it, anyways? No I'll be there. Don't worry. She'll come herself... She's a little busy. Yeah, I'm okay. I'm fine. Okay, bye. Swear on my life, I didn't want to hurt anyone. Did that woman tell you to go there that night? That woman had been messaging me for at least a month. She said, "If you still have the pickup, come over, I wanna see you." And I messaged back, "Ahoo, dear, sorry... I'm not feeling well. I can't come. She took it to herself. No matter how many times I called... She never answered. Didn't want to talk to me. That night, I thought I'd drop by and make it up to her. Didn't you know she's moved out? God knows, I had no idea. Swear on my kids' life... You opened the door, and went in. You saw the furniture is different... How come you're saying you didn't know? I went in, I saw a bunch of stuff, the bicycle I had bought myself... I thought maybe she's moving. You're not going out of that door, until you tell the truth. If I had the slightest idea that you guys have moved in, I would've thought, maybe there's a man in the bathroom. - My wife's clothes were on the bed. - I didn't saw those. You saw those and figured there must be a woman in the bath. ...all alone, she even opened the door for you. I didn't see any clothes. It didn't take even five minutes. I came in, there was no one there. Just a minute ago, your wife had opened the door for me. Why did your wife open the door for me? Well, she thought it's me. Let me tell you what really happened. I went by the bathroom door, called the kid, as soon as I did... ...there starts the screaming. Then, I ran away. You went into the bathroom. I didn't go in the bathroom. Then, where was your foot cut like that? I have no idea. By the time I was downstairs... I felt a sting in my foot. I thought I've stepped on something running down stairs. Then, my wife's lying? Your wife says I went into the bathroom? My wife was scared and bumped into the glass, otherwise God knows what you would've done, dirty scumbag! I swear on my life or whatever's dear to you... as soon as I found out I'm in the wrong place, I ran away. Well, just tell your wife to come here. Here, I'll wait right here. Ask her. What's my wife supposed to say? My wife's said all she had to say. It's your wife's turn to come here. Call her, and tell her to come here, right now. What for? What you said, I want you to repeat in front of your wife. Mister, why don't you get it? I didn't go in that bath... Okay, you didn't! I want you to tell your wife what you were doing in that house. Call her, right now! Get it out, and call her! Nope! Get out your cell! Don't make me look bad in front of my wife and kids. Call her, right now. My daughter's about to get married. Your daughter has to know her real father. I'm gonna tell your son-in-law everything, just so he knows his father-in-law. I don't have have to keep you here. Go on, get out! Go! I'm gonna call your son-in-law, tell him to bring your wife here... Leave me alone, mister! Ah! Someone help me! Help! Don't make noises! Quiet! Open the door! Open up! I'll die! I'm about to have a stroke. Open the door! Mister! open the door! I'm afraid of closed spaces. Open the door, my boy. At least turn on the lights. Forgive me... ... my dear! I cant cry. Why did you ever do that to yourself? I dont understand it. Help me, Willy! It seems to me that youre just on another trip. I keep expecting you. I made the last payment on the house today. Right today. And thereII be nobody home. Were free and clear. Were free. Rana, lock the door, and take the keys. Get up, on your feet. Here, wait. Sit here. You go in that room. Look how mentally and emotionally shattered she is. There's my wife. Are you gonna keep saying you haven't gone into the bathroom? I'm sorry. Answer me. I made a mistake. Tell me, why did you go into the bathroom? I gave into temptation. What are you gonna do to him? His family are on their way, I want his wife to know what he's done. You're taking your revenge. Let him go, let him leave. I know what I'm doing. You sit here, there's no need for you to come out. Where are you going? I'm not feeling right at all. Let me go. They're coming after you. Your son-in-law called, he asked about you. I told him to come over. And to bring your wife too. They're on their way. Sit down. I'm begging you, please let me go. When your family get here. Tell them everything you told me. Then you can leave. I'm begging you. Miss! Forgive me. Let me go, before they get here. That woman lived with me for 35 years. Mister! get up! Get up, go! You, sit down! Leave him alone, let him go. He'll go, he will. When his family get here, they can leave together. Sit down. For the love of God! Here, mister, go. - Just, sit down. - Let him go!

Does he, by any chance, take any under-the-tongue pills? I searched. There's nothing in his pockets. - What happened? - Where are you now? No, no, get here as soon as you can. Okay, okay. - Was it the Emergency? - His family. They're coming. - Oh, my God! - Mister! can you hear me? Does he have a pulse? Emad, can you hear his heartbeat? Rana, for God's sake, keep quiet. Let me see what I'm doing. Where are you going? He said he's got pills. Maybe they're in the car. Can you hear me?.. Open your mouth. Open! Mister! get up! Can you hear me? Oh, God!.. Oh, God! You better now? You feeling better? Breathe! Breathe! You better, now? Don't worry, he's better. You didn't call the Emergency? No, I was afraid he might be dead. Wait a minute! If you say anything to his family, I don't wanna have anything to do with you. Yes? - Hello. - The elevator's broken, use the stairs. Come on, ma! You go ahead, I can't run with this pain in my legs. Ya Ali! My dear. Come on in. Come in. Ya Allah! Dad! Dad! How are you dad? - Majid! - What? Come in. - Dad! Daddy! - Thank God, he's fine. You okay, dad? I'm fine. You're okay.

Majid! if mother doesn't see him, she'd think something must've happened to him. Let her see he's fine. Hello, sorry. We were in such a hurry that we didn't notice you. That's alright. Sit down, dad. What are you getting up for? I thought mother better come up and see you, and then we'll leave. Sit. We're in no hurry. Let him sit down until he gets better. We're really sorry, mister.
