- Hello there
- Hello, Mr. Khosro
Bring it here
Here is an Oshno cigarette and
some "Khorous" chewing gum
Change the Oshno, please
Give me Winston
Is something going on today?
When you have a meeting with an American, it
looks bad to pull Oshno out of your pocket
Winston
- Did your ticket win?
- I'm going into business with them
It's gambling
No, a casino
I'm opening a casino with them in Ramsar
With Donald Trump
Do you know who he is?
Who is he?
You don't know him? He
owns a lot of casinos in America
Give me one lottery ticket
- One of the really good ones?
- One of the really good ones
So you lose again
In gambling, at some point you know
you're losing, but you keep going anyway
Here
This is a nice number
Very nice
How is it?
Nice? It's perfect
Today is my day, a miracle
witness appeared right on time

Jack Nicholson; don't pause on it
His Excellency, Jack Nicholson

I'll put it here, it'll be fine
You guys are driving me insane
The honorable Trump family
- What is this?
- What's wrong with it?
The honorable Trump family?
And their return?
Come on, they don't know Persian
You get so worked up, you're gonna burst
They don't know Persian?
You fool, you know that, and yet
you wrote it for them in Persian?
What are these pictures?
- It's all his doing, come here
- Who chose these?
Come here
Didn't you have a better picture to use?
What's it to me if they weren't in good
movies? These are all their own photos
They weren't in good movies?
You've driven me crazy
He keeps getting upset all the time
Mr. Jamal, congratulations
Your guests are coming
Dear Khosro, for now these
people have worn us out
- Mr. Jamal, do you love me?
- Very much
Who do you love more,
me or your mother in law?
You, obviously
- Who do you love more, me or barbari bread?
- You, obviously
So don't get upset
Forget this club,
I'm opening a casino and I want to
make you the manager of that casino
- Oh?
- Yes
- Your casino?
- Yes, if I get lucky
Jamal, what do you think this is, some
wedding band gig, playing at the door?
Oh
Of course it is
I pay you and your "Black Cat" a
lot every month for times like this
Come on, we're artists
I'm not going to accept
this humiliation either
Oh, you won't?
Neither of you has the right to say that
Don't make me put a curse on you
Martik, I curse you to become like me
Shahbal, I curse you so that your
"Black Cats" keep changing day by day
Greetings, I'm Shahbal
I'm happy to be a guest tonight
The groom is one of my
good childhood friends
He's been my one true friend
through all the days of my life
I've been his companion
from childhood until now
Tonight is his wedding and I'm his best man
The bride's parents are worried
They're worried the guests
might not be treated well enough
The groomsmen have formed
a circle around everyone
hey keep whispering
and talking to each other
The bride and groom are
dancing, they're very close
They both look sharp
The music's hot, the rhythm's funky
Let me go see who's in the band
Wow, it's Black Cats,
Siavash, and Martik
Well, if that's the case, I'm leaving
Whatever
Goodness knows what they've taken
Today, when I need him, he's leaving
Martik, hurry downstairs
and get the boys organized
Our guests are about to arrive
What had he taken?
How should I know what he's using?
Let's go, the guests are here
Hurry
Nicholson, Nicholson, Nicholson
Nicholson, Nicholson, Nicholson
Nicholson, Nicholson, Nicholson
Nicholson, Nicholson, Nicholson
Nicholson, Nicholson, Nicholson
Nicholson, Nicholson
Welcome, welcome, welcome
Welcome
Nicholson, Nicholson, Nicholson
What?
Nicholson, Nicholson, Nicholson
Nicholson, Nicholson, Nicholson
- Nicholson, Nicholson
- Heshmat is here
Heshmat!
Khosro
- Dear Jamal; how do you like who I brought?
- Well done!
Did you sign the contract?
- What about the contract?
- What?
- Did you pull it off or not?
- What?
I said, did you sign the contract?
You can barely hear anything here
Let's go inside, I'll explain it to you
First, tell me whether
you pulled it off or not
Warren Beatty, Warren Beatty
Did you pull it off or not?
Did you pull it off or not?
Let's go, let's go
Did you pull it off or not? Tell me
Nicholson, Nicholson
Did you pull it off or not?
Hello
Hello, Sir
How are you? How are you?
Oh! Mr. Trump!
Welcome
I changed 400,000 tomans
into dollars, it's in this bag
- Well done
- Yeah
Did you sell your stock shares?
What stock shares?
- Well? Did you finally get your ticket?
- One day
- Did you find some hidden treasure?
- No, no
- Where did you get it? Tell me Khosro
- Alright!
What happened? Tell me
I put Zinat's deed up as collateral
and took a 3 month high interest loan
- With her permission?
- Her permission? Of course not
I gave the bank the original
deed and gave her the forged one
You fool! You're never going
to stop doing this, are you?
Are you going to do to this woman
what you did to my poor dad and uncle?
- May Uncle Faraj rest in peace
- May Uncle Samad rest in peace
Heshmat, please
Well?
Please do something so
my money doesn't go to waste
If Trump didn't want
to sign the contract,
he wouldn't have brought
two Hollywood stars
I know; he knows the
Ramsar casino is full of money
It's practically a money printing
machine; that's why he brought him
Let me do my job
But you shouldn't do that with the deed
Look, has there ever been a time when you
entrusted a job to me and it went wrong?
Oh come on, yes
- When?
- Many times
- When?
- Don't you remember your late father's deed?
May he rest in peace
Write it down
He is a singer?
Ebi? No, no
Married
What?
Married?
He said "Singer"
Singer!
I thought you said "single"
Singer, yeah
- Yes, yes, yes
- Okay
You shut up
Trump will change his mind
If I don't laugh, they'll
say I'm ill tempered
Don't laugh, what are you laughing for?
They are laughing at the mole on your nose
Is a mole really something to laugh at?
- Don't Americans have moles?
- They think it's something on the nose
Oh!
No, no
Tell them it's a mole, in English
I don't know the English word for it
I'm not that fluent
Tell him all of us in the family have moles
- Really?
- Yeah
Say we have a cousin,
you should see his mole
- His mole is on his nose too?
- No, he sits on it
Shut up
He has two of them; whichever
side he sits on, it's under him
Alright, sign your check
Here
- Check
- Okay
- Check and money
- Mr. Trump, please sign it; thank you
Cash and check
Check, yeah
He's signing
- Heshmat
- Hmm?
I'm saying, let that guy Jack Nicholson and
that other guy sign under it as witnesses
Jack Nicholson and Warren
Beatty sign your contract?
Yes, you and Jamal have to sign it too
Maybe he'll back out later
Come on, forget it Khosro
- A signature
- That's it
I don't smoke
If she doesn't smoke, why did
she bring out a cigarette then?
Shahla
Khosro
Why are you calling each other? What is it?
What's she doing here?
I'll tell you later
You read your newspaper
Ladies and gentlemen, listen to me
This is Shahla
The best actress
The Best
The best artist
In Iran
- In Tehran
- Excuse me, gentlemen
- Come here, I need to talk to you
- Excuse me
Let's go
Hey, sir
Newspaper?
Yes
Khosro
You're holding the newspaper upside down
Sorry
Please go ahead; it's getting cold
Let me make things clear for you
What is it, my dear?
Why do you think you can brush me off?
- Brush you off?
- Why do you think you can brush me off?
- Yes
- Please, what are you even saying?
Weren't you supposed to talk to the Hollywood
people about me when they come to Iran?
- Isn't that exactly it?
- Did you talk to them?
Did you allow me to?
Why are you in such a hurry? I'll tell them
I was just sitting at home,
I had nothing going on
You said you'd take me to my love, right?
- Who is your love?
- My love
- Who is your love, Shahla?
- My love
Who is your love?
Don't shout, okay?
Talk properly
Who is your love?
Cinema
Then say "cinema;" Why do you keep
saying "love"? My heart nearly stopped
I'll take you to your love, which is cinema
Huh, Like Masoud Kimiaei
and the whole "Qeysar" story
- Was I the one at fault for that?
- Who was at fault?
Behrouz tricked us; he
took Pouri Banaei in your place
He lied again
Forget that, let it go
Right now I've got a very close
buddy, I'll take you to the cinema
Who?
- Number one in Iranian cinema
- Who?
- Mohammad Ali Fardin
- Don't lie
Just choose right now
Pick one of these two, Shahla
Done
Either acting in Iranian cinema
with Mohammad Ali Fardin
Or acting in Hollywood with Jack Nicholson
Which one, Shahla?
Acting with Mohammad
Ali Fardin in Iranian cinema
- done
- and acting in Hollywood with Jack Nicholson
Both together
That is a joint film
I'll handle it
You'll be the lead role in a
joint Iranian-American film
Are you serious?
- Why would I lie?
- Are you serious, Heshmat?
My love, when have I ever lied to you?
If you lie, I'll gouge your
eyes out with these two fingers
If I'm lying, you can gouge my
eyes out and take my brain too
Listen, Shahla
- Don't pay too much attention to Khosro, please;
- They're looking at us
- otherwise, no more cinema
- Go, go
This girl is so beautiful
Should be actress
She's so talented
She has the vision
I'll help
Yes, Sir; okay
Do you know what he's saying?
He says this girl is the future
star of Hollywood cinema
Me?
Yes
He says, "Sophia Loren is enough already"
Congratulations
I think we should think of a
classy stage name for you
Thank you very much
Okay, Mr. Trump
Shahla, see what I told you?
See? Heshmat doesn't talk nonsense
Now picture yourself at
the very top of Hollywood
Khosro
- What is wrong?
- Nothing
- Your contract is done now
- Yes, it's right here
- Isn't this what you wanted?
- It is
Then why are you sulking?
- You're not sulking?
- No
- I know
- Yeah
Mr. Khosro, I know you
You are nostalgic for the old days
But don't do this
Don't you remember?
That year I stepped forward for you
and I got beaten for it
Now it's time for you to make it up to me
Khosro dear, why did you
drag me out in this cold?
- I want to tell you a secret
- What secret?
It's about Shahla
Lalehzar neighborhood/ Years earlier
- About Shahla?
- Yeah
- Our Shahla? Naser's sister?
- Yes
- What about her?
- Listen
I know everyone has a thing for her,
but I want her in a different way
I want you to be generous like a brother
and go talk to her, see what she thinks
If she agrees to become
my wife, I'll send my
mother to her house to
make a formal proposal
You know, I can't even talk to her
When I see her, I forget
everything I wanted to say
- Hello
- Oh God!
Was that Ms. Shahla? She
passed by at the perfect time
She goes to sewing class
She usually goes to sewing class
around this time in the morning
Oh God
God, what are you doing to me? Why me?
Heshmat, I know it's hard
But do this for me
If you do this for me, I'll owe
you one; anything you need
- It's not enough Khosro
- I give you more
Bless you
I'll go talk to her; but not because
of the money, because of you
-Go talk to her and see what she thinks of me
- Ms. Shahla, wait a moment
[unclear]
Oh, to be in love
Go
- Ms. Shahla
- Listen, Mr. Heshmat
this isn't how it's done
If Khosro wants something,
he has to ask for it himself
Look over there
If he has something to
say, he should say it himself
And he shouldn't even tell
me, he should tell my father
I can't just decide on my own, by myself
Ms. Shahla, what are you saying?
I don't care about Khosro
- I'm the one who wants you
- Oh!
I want to marry you
- I want you to be my wife
- Shut up
Khosro, she hit him
Khosro, she hit him hard
The moment I said your name, she hit me
All these years, my heart was with Shahla
But because I stepped in for you,
even got beaten for it, I didn't say a word
I showed loyalty, Mr Khosro
Look, you've been married once
You have a child
And I am single
Please let it go
- I swear to you on your wife's soul
- There's no need
On uncle's soul, On dad's soul
In this situation
Go on
In this situation, I'm not thinking
about you and Shahla at all
I'm just happy about my contract
I'm only thinking about this
- That's a relief
- I'm thinking about my casino in Ramsar
I got scared for a moment,
- I thought you missed the old days
- No, no
Thanks
Get up, get up
What happened?
He's just like that; he
has no feelings, no heart
He just made his wife waste away
Really?
I'm talking about you
He says, "I'm not thinking
about Shahla at all"
"I'm happy about my contract"
Did Khosro really say that?
- Then who said it?
- Khosro said it?
Have I ever lied to you?
Heshmat
Come on
Alright, be ready
Move over a little bit
Alright, now look here
So Trump is still in Iran
Zinat-ol-Molouk Badr-ol-Zaman's house
January 16, 1979
Good good
Are you sure?
What about Heshmat?
Heshmat; I'm said what about Heshmat?
What about Shahla, Shahram?
Shahram, what about Shahla?
Shahla, that girl he was with on
the day the contract was signed
Aha
Shahram
Shahram I adore that voice of yours
Shahram, please find him
Find him
I feel awful
Goodbye
I feel awful
Con artist
Is there no one here to
see who's at the door?
There are plenty of people here
I meant no offense
I'm talking about Shadi
Get yourself moving,
go see who's at the door
Did you see my photo?
They ran it in the paper
Yes, it really looks like you
It's obviously you
Specially your straight hair
No, it's a picture of my coat
Oh, your coat
Yes
I was just saying; you were right
This place is a stable
- And I'm one of the donkeys
- Don't say that
Fifteen years ago, when
you came to propose
I still don't know how you
managed to win Haji over
If I stood my ground against him
If only I had firmly said no,
my daughter would be safe now
and so would the whole Atabak family
Khosro
I love you, Khosro
Marjan... Marjan...
Poor Marjan
She really liked you
She loved you
Whenever your parrot calls out like
that, Marjan's memory comes alive for me
That's why I've put up with you and I
haven't thrown you out of this house
I've always been grateful for
everything you and Haji Baba did, Zinat
- What?
- Dear Zinat
What? Dear Zinat?
Lady Zinat-ol-Molouk
Lady Zinat-ol-Molouk Badr-ol-Zaman
Haji brought honest bread
into this house all his life
May God bless his soul
What did you do?
Fifteen years ago, you showed up at
this house with nothing but your clothes
- With nothing in your pocket
- I worked too
They fired me from the
Azmayesh factory, is that my fault?
You gambled, and they threw you out
I was the line supervisor
- What line?
- The production line
- Producing lottery tickets?
- Producing refrigerators
You squandered this household's
entire wealth on gambling
Both my husband and my
daughter wasted away from grief
Thank God, this house
is the only thing I have left
And I managed to keep it safe from you
- Thank God
- Thank God
Khosro, your love has ruined me
His love has ruined everyone
I love you
Don't ring the bell,
they're probably not home
They are home
Of course they are home
They're just playing smart so
they don't end up getting a notice
Come on
Why is no one opening this door?
Yes?
Daddy, he says he's from the bank
What is a bank officer
doing at my front door?
There must be some mistake
What mistake? He says he
needs to see Mr. Saharkhiz
Khosro Saharkhiz?
Ask him
What then? Khosrow Parviz?
He's... Aha
Aha! That boy is the
son of someone we know
He got hired at the bank,
and I stood surety for him
Now they've come to ask around
- What do they call it?
- Local background check
Local background check
All right, you go. I'll handle it myself
It's fine
Last time you came here, I gave you money
so you'd leave and not come back again
Ring, ring, ring nonstop
Mr. Khosro, this time it's serious
Even if I let it go, the bank won't
They'll dump the whole problem on me
It's because of your debt that this
house has now been put up for auction
People will keep coming to
see it until someone buys it
Has the bank sunk so low it
has to seize people's property?
Just so you know, the
bank is enforcing the law
- Law, law
- Yes, look at him
He's one of the customers
Is he going to take part
in the bank's auction?
- Do you have a problem with that?
- What?
- Do you have a problem?
- Yes
With what?
Go away man
Look, without a court order, I
won't show this house to anyone;
not even the Central Bank chief
- Vacate the place as soon as possible
- I'm not vacating it
Mr. Khosro, listen carefully
to what I'm telling you
We're here right now because of your debt
Either you vacate quickly, or what I said
Wait
What? What?
You're trying to bribe
a government officer?
- A bribe?
- Take it
That's all the bribe?
Is there a problem?
Not for now, let's see what happens later
Not for now, let's see what happens
- What are you doing?
- Hello
Wait
You've seen the outside;
we'll go inside and look at it later
Go away
Are you offering a bribe?
- Do you have a problem with it?
- Yes
With what?
- Whatever, let's go
- Go away
Go wait in the car
Go man; get in, let's go
But I want this gorgeous property
What?
This property is mine
- Gorgeous?
- Yes, it's mine
- Let's go, it's not possible
- Why not
- He greased your palm, huh?
- Yes
- Do you have a problem?
- Yes
With what?
With this
Say that from the start;
I've made it greasier
Get in the car
Did you take out a loan against
dear Zinat's house deed?
- How long have you been standing here?
- Quite a while
- Did you hear?
- Yes, I'm not deaf
I'm investing
- Ah, investing?
- Yeah
- Where?
- Huh?
- A mall
- A mall!
It's a mall
Well done, daddy
I didn't know you could do that
Yes
By the way, I'm going to
the Miami cabaret with Zhina
Could you give me a little money?
- Zhina?
- Yes
The cabaret owner's daughter?
Yeah
Does that cabaret guy even charge his own
daughter, or are you trying to rip me off?
You don't need to
pay, I'll take it from Zinat
Wait
What does this even mean, romantic
games at your age? You're still so young
- Zinat?
-Shush
It's Zinat-ol-Molouk
I was just messing with you
My son has turned into a real gentleman
My problem is that girl
People like that aren't for us
- Dear Zinat!
- That's not even the problem
My problem is that I don't have money
You took money from me two days ago
You're saying it was two days ago
You're just loafing around jobless all
day; why should I pay for your dating?
Oh, I didn't realize you
were the Minister of Labor!
I'm off then, Zinat
No, no, son
All I'm saying is that if you
go to that cabaret, be careful;
someone there might pick your pocket
No, I really should get it from Zinat
No, those things don't matter
Not important at all
What matters is that you stay young
Khosro? Khosro!
Shahram called, he said he's your friend
He said he found Heshmat
Who is Shahram?
Shahram? Well done to him
It's Shahram, the singer
I'm not a baby anymore
Enough already
I mean, hadn't this good for
nothing cousin disappeared?
He had
What are you doing again, Khosro?
What on earth did you do?
No, no, I'm not doing
anything, Zinat-ol-Molouk
I'll explain
- Hello
- What happened?
Honestly, I thought about it a lot
I struggled with myself
And I realize that I can't
I can't do these kinds of things
Here
Is this Khosro Saharkhiz's house?
Khosro Saharkhiz
Aren't you ashamed? You
write a check for 600,000 tomans,
and you live in a place like this?
Did you write a 600,000 toman check?
What are you doing?
It's a misunderstanding
- A misunderstanding? Look, ma'am
- Let me see
Here is the check, ma'am
Here is the signature
Here, this is your name
Oh God
Give it to me
- No, I want to check the date
- The date is correct
Yes, it belongs to Saharkhiz, that's right
But this isn't Saharkhiz's
house; it's the lady's house
Isn't he Khosro?
No
No
- Then where is he himself?
- He himself...
He is just two alleys
further down, I'll go get him
- You stay here
- Go get him
What's this bank notice about?
What on earth are you doing?
Listen, if you don't bring
him, I'll set this place on fire
I'll bring him
American Club
January 16, 1979
- Jamal, quick, hide me somewhere
- Why? What happened?
Don't shout!
- Go away
- Don't talk
Who's even talking to
you? You've got some nerve
He's a customer
Excuse me, sir
Take care of him, boys
Don't be rude
- I'm not here, tell him I'm not here
- Alright, go back there
Just don't say anything;
the microphone is on
Sir, I am really sorry
Please, if you would allow
- What is going on here?
- Alright, sir, it'll be resolved
Boys, take care of the gentleman
Jamal?
We just wanted to
have one night of fun
- Didn't you see Heshmat?
- Heshmat is not here
I just saw him come in here
Heshmat!
Move aside, man!
I paid to watch this
- Sir, I apologize
- Shahram! Shahram?
- What are you even talking about?
- I said move aside
- What is this?
- I'm looking for my cousin
You're cousin didn't come here
Shahram, didn't you say Heshmat is here?
Khosro, don't drag me into this
There you go, I'm
telling you he didn't come
Hassan, haven't you seen Heshmat?
Please
Didn't you hear me? This is unacceptable
Enough, you're being rude
They stole my money, they
ripped me off for a million
- Do you understand?
- Don't ruin my reputation, Khosro
I have a reputation
here, this is disgraceful
- He's also a regular here
- I'll pay him back, get lost
Sir, I apologize to you
- Man, if Vida finds out, she'll fire me
- I don't care
- Where did you hide this Heshmat?
- I'm telling you, Heshmat didn't come here
His car is outside
It's not Heshmat's car, which car?
The car he bought with my hard earned money
That cream Hillman, it's outside
I sold that cream Hillman a long time ago
- See?
- Shut up, man, I
You said he's not here, then where's
that sound coming from? Where are you?
- He's sound's like Heshmat, I swear he's not here
- Why are you hiding like a woman?"
Heshmat didn't come here
- So what is this sound?
- How should I know?
Heshmat, I won't hurt you
I just want my money
Heshmat isn't here
Heshmat isn't
What are you talking about?
He's right behind you, look
Who is it?
Didn't I tell you not to come out of there?
Aren't you ashamed? While I'm here,
you lie to my cousin and say I'm not?
Stop fooling around
- Give me my money, I want money
- Did you give your money to me?
You said to give it to Trump
You gave your money to Trump, he's in
America, and that's none of my business
He ripped you off, right?
I told him a hundred times not to
give his hard earned money to that guy
See?
See? You're in on it with him
He's still in Iran
Come on, if I had taken the
money, I wouldn't be selling my car
I'm telling you, he's still in Iran;
he cashed my check
- He's in Iran?
- Yeah
debt collector's got my
check, he was at my door today
Which part of Iran is he in?
How should I know? Get a map, I'll show you
Who hit my car?
I'm asking, who hit my car?
What is wrong with you?
Why are you shouting like this?
Whoever hit it, it
happened outside this place
I'm responsible for this club's security
What wonderful security this place has!
Bro, did you hit my car?
No, not me
- Yes?
- Did you hit my car?
Have a great day, no
See?
- Are you sure?
- Yes, yes
Whoever hit my car,
his old man can go to hell
What do you mean?
You just close your eyes
and say whatever you want
Are you insulting my dad?
Khosro! The one who hit
it should be upset, not you
But he's insulting my father, I hit it
- Did you do it?
- Yeah, I did
Man! His dad is my uncle
Why are you insulting him?
Where can we find this scumbag Trump?
You're talking like he's your buddy
Trump is American; they'll
get you into serious trouble
Could you be quiet for a
minute so I can concentrate
and figure out what
we're supposed to do?
Ugh
Just don't say anything
Esteemed compatriots, please pay attention
The announced numbers for the
lucky winner of one million tomans
plus a red Paykan car in
the lottery are as follows:
What is wrong with you?
What is it Khosro?
Congratulations
5757001!
5757001!
That's my number
- Did you win?
- That's my number!
That's my number
Enough!
Listen carefully to what
he's saying, then speak
He said, 5757201
Not zeros
Understand it first, then speak
- 5757001
- Hurry man
001, right?
Enghelab Street
January 16, 1979
I'll say it one digit at a
time, ma'am; one more time
5-7-5-7-0-0-1
- Hurry up, sir
- That's my number, ma'am!
That's my number!
Oh wow!
Ma'am, tell me
Where do I come to collect
the car and the money?
Sir, I'm in a hurry
It's alright, alright, bye
I won!
I won!
I won!
- I won!
- You did?
You little devil!
- What happened?
- Let's go, I'll tell you all about it
Khosro
Dear Khosro, you finally got lucky, bro
Start this car and let's go
collect the prize, dear Khosro
It will be held on March 15th, on the
occasion of Reza Shah's birthday, in a
grand ceremony at Shayyad Square,
in the presence of His Imperial Majesty
I didn't understand a word
They're giving out the prize on March 15th
- Oh, March 15th?
- Yes
But today is January 16
There's less than two
months, it's almost here
That woman was saying...
What?
She said, "Give me the car and the ticket,
I'll give you 400,00 tomans right now"
Didn't you tell her...
They're trying to rip you off, bro
You should have told her that we
are the sharpest dealers in Tehran
- I told her
- My dear, bro, my love
with this money you can pay off
your bank debt and clear your checks
And you'd still get to keep
the red Paykan
Khosro?
Dear Khosro?
Will you give the Red Paykan
to your brother as a bonus?
No, I'm not giving my brother any bonus
Now you're my brother?
That car is worth 28,000 tomans, and
I'm supposed to give it to you as a bonus?
Fine
Heshmat
You know all about my life, you're
always involved in my business
You know
I'm broken inside, man
- Khosro?
- What?
Red Paykan
Red
Alright
- Alright?
- Alright?
- Do you promise?
- I promise
Do you promise on your honor?
- Yes
- Good
- You scoundrel
- What do you mean by that?
- Huh?
- What do you mean by that?
Start it up, let's go
Start it up, let's go man
Daryaei Inn
January 16, 1979
- Is trump here?
- no, he's not
But someone is here, and if you're
lucky, she can lead you to Trump
- Who?
- Open my hand and I'll tell you
- I won't open your hand
- Then I won't say it
- You won't?
- No
- No red
- Shahla!
- Shahla?
- Yes
- Shahla?
- Shahla
- Our shahla?
- Don't shout, Shahla
Shahla
Shahla
Then how is Shahla supposed
to know where Trump is?
Because she's seen Trump
several times at the hotel
Because of that acting thing in Hollywood
I took her there myself
You idiot!
"I took her there myself"
You brought your wife
to that guy? You idiot
Alright then, go get her
I'm not coming, you go
It's better if I don't see her
- Don't see her?
- No
- Did you two have a fight?
- No, of course not
Divorce?
If I got divorced, would you laugh Khosro?
Divorce?
No, honestly, you'd laugh
and be happy about it?
Divorce?
- You should sound upset
- Divorce?
We were never even married,
so how could I get divorced?
You weren't married?
You've always done this;
you've always just wasted time
You said all those
things, do all those things
just so she and I
wouldn't talk to each other
What are you talking about?
What?
- Why are you making up stories?
- What then?
- The opportunity just never came up
- Never came up
And I don't know what that awful Trump
said to that girl, she's completely changed
- She's not the same Shahla she used to be
- What a shame
What a shame
You sent the girl alone
into that man's room
Come on, don't talk nonsense
- If you don't know, don't say anything
- What?
If you're not informed, don't say anything
That's just how the process works
If you want to become an
actor, especially in Hollywood
first they test you, and if
you pass, they take you on
If I go too, I'll do the test
You'd do the test too if you went
- I'm not doing any test
- You don't
- No way, I'm definitely not doing it
- Don't, then
- I'm not doing the test
- Fine, don't do it
Nobody wants to test you anyway
She's the one who's
in love with acting
You keep saying, "I'm not doing the test"
Anyway, forget all this
Go ask her already
Look, Khosro
Please
I'm begging you
When she told you where Trump
is, tell her Heshmat is crazy about her
Tell her that I'm in love with her
Tell her not to make a mistake
Can you make her like me?
Will you?
Yes, I will
- You will?
- I'll do it well
Stop! Don't close it! Don't!
Khosro, open it, open it!
It's getting dark, Khosro! I'm scared!
Open it for a moment
The spot above my mole itches!
Sleep, man
- Hello, sir
- Hello
Do you have a lady there named Shahla?
I'm Daryaei, the innkeeper
Nice to meet you
Do you have a woman named Shahla there?
I'm Daryaei, the innkeeper
I didn't say anything
I'm asking is you have
a Shahla there, Shahla
Who are you?
I'm Khosro
And I'm Daryaei
Oh
Khosro?
- What are you doing here?
- To see you
You jerk! Open it, I can't breathe
I'm going to die here
Khosro
Open it
Are you laughing, Khosro?
No, I'm crying
Why are you crying?
Did you really think I wanted
to become Heshmat's wife?
I didn't know he was so disloyal
that he was lying to me about all of this
He said Shahla slapped me
when I mentioned your name
All these years, I had believed it
Jerk
You're calling me a jerk, Khosro?
No, I mean that trash
Heshmat, Heshmat
I didn't know he was so sneaky
He's worse than that!
He was sending me straight into danger
- You're laughing again, Khosro?
- No, I'm crying
Don't cry, Khosro; It's hard to tell
whether you're laughing or crying
Hyatt Hotel
December 6, 1978
You idiot jerk
What on earth were you thinking?
You shameless man
You knew I was in love with
cinema, and you betrayed me
I stood up to my family
because of him, Khosro
Shame on you
I was in love with you too; I still am
Sure
And you were very wrong;
you're still wrong now
The only thing you had in this world was a
little pride, and you even threw that away
Shame on you
Get me out of here
I'll get you out of here,
what do you want to say?
Get me out
Come out here, let's see if
you can even look me in the eye
You came to that conclusion
on your own; let me speak too
Talk
Shahla, do you really think I'm such
a lowlife that I'd sell you out to Trump?
I don't
Trump himself said because
of managing his casino
Why did you turn your face away?
Look me in the eyes and
tell me you believed his words
My love,
so that's why you wouldn't marry me?
Shut up
Khosro, now when you
should be talking, you're silent
- Am I really that awful?
- Of course you are
Forget that, I'm not spineless
Oh, are you actually thinking
about it? Say something
No, honestly, he's right
For all his bad qualities,
he's not spineless
Thanks
But what you did was truly low
- Heshmat
- I don't need you to praise me
I can speak for myself
Dear Shahla, I thought it all through
I realized that if you go to America,
you'll become a Hollywood star
I'll come too; we'll get
married, have children
If we have a boy, we'll name
him Jack Junior Heshmat
And if we have a girl, we'll
name her Natalie Junior Heshmat
And if we don't have children,
we'll adopt a beautiful Black child
We'll name him Muhammad Ali Clay
How was I supposed to
know what Trump had in mind?
You made a real mess, Mr. Heshmat
You made a mess
Now you have to fix it
- Where is that guy's address?
- Khosro, I'm coming too
No, no, this is a man's job
Khosro, I'm coming
Until now, I thought I
had no one backing me up but now I have you
You have no idea how good I feel
Listen, I'm with you to the very end
Understand? To the very end
Hats off to your honor
- Woo!
- Hats off to your honor
I'm not a sack of
potatoes, I'm a human being
Close the door, I don't
want to see these things
- Close it
- He's so honorable
I'm the spineless one, close it
- Close the door
- You said it
Yes, close it
Hyatt Hotel
January 16, 1979
Long time no see
So, how long were you
planning to keep running?
- Shut up, man
- Did he say anything?
Say "Shut up" whenever he says something
In the end, everyone
gets what's coming to them
- Tell him that
- I can't translate that
Make it simpler so I can say it
Let me go grab his long blonde hair
Come here, pretty hair
So you're stealing from me, huh?
Do you think you can get away from me?
Did he hit him?
He's crazy
Khosro
Hats off to your honor, Khosro
What? He slapped him
and hats off to his honor?
- Hats off to your honor
- What about my honor?
What about me?
He Didn't give me a chance to slap him
I'm doing it out of pride, not for money
My love, Shahla, look
I didn't want to hit him
You jerk
Don't you think about
your own sister or mother?
Shame on you
Why did he hit me?
Did I say anything?
I just said, "Long time no see"
Khosro
Let's go, trump is gone
This guy can't do anything
Oh, Trump!
Make sure he doesn't hit anyone again
Make sure he doesn't hit me
Where's trump?
What?
Where's Trump?
Upstairs
- Cold water?
- Cold water?
He said upstairs
Trump?
Tell him to wait
Where are you?
Trump?
Why is it that everyone who comes in
today says Mr. Trump owes them money?
Just before you arrived, a
woman and two men came here,
they said they were Trump's casino
partners and that he owed them money
Look at this guy, he came here to
take our people's money and leave
You're lucky; I don't think
highly of this guy myself
You didn't hear that from me
Take the elevator over
there and go to the eighth floor
Thank you very much
Tell me if you need anything
Oh, Mr. Khosro Saharkhiz
Give me your hand
So you're running away from Sirous
Kishmish and hiding out in a hotel?
Tell him, Heshmat
Tell me
Why should I say it? You
keep making me say things
Is he a foreigner?
Tell him yourself
Besides, Mr. Kishmish is a grown adult
He can handle his own business
Let's go, Shahla, he'll hit us
This isn't the place for us
Do you want to leave your friend alone?
Yes
Let him go
sis, don't get involved in this
I'm already involved
Don't mess with me, alright?
No, I liked that
You're from a rough neighborhood
It doesn't make much difference either way
Right now you're right
in the middle of this mess
What?
He got scared
He wrote a bad check,
shouldn't I go after my money?
Now that's a reasonable point
We came here to solve your problem
Send blessings
Rest in peace
Come on, man, we came here
to take care of your problem
Tru... Tru... Trump!
Where are you Trump?
- Do you know Trump?
- Of course
He's gone, tell him
He's Iranian
Trump
I think he's here
Ma'am, where's Trump?
What's going on? He jumped
into a taxi and rushed off
Trump's gone? Everything fell apart
Where did he go? Which way?
I can't get to Trump, but I
can get to you, you know
I'm not going anywhere
until I cash this check
Kishmish, why are you shouting?
What's it got to do with us that he left?
Stop shouting
Be quiet, sir; this is a hotel
This is a hotel
I'll give your money to
you, I'll give it right now
- Do you even have money?
- Yeah, I do, I'll give it to him
Give it to him
Here
I won; a lottery ticket
worth one million tomans
- Red Paykan
- You promised that to me
You can have red Paykan, you spineless
Come on, it's settled
We'll go cash the money, you give
me 600,000 tomans and the rest is yours
And we'll never see each other again
Not right now, man
March 15, tell him
You keep pushing it on me to say it
- Isn't today the January 16?
- Well?
Until March 15, it's two
months minus two days
Well?
We're going under the Shayyad Tower
Whose birthday is it? Reza Shah
With the presence of His Imperial Majesty
The king is gone
What? The king is gone?
When did he leave?
Why didn't he tell us anything?
I don't know where or when he went
That's not acceptable
No,man; it's his father's
birthday, he's invited
You're invited, you're invited on my behalf
- He's invited a lot of guests
- Yes, he's coming
He'll rest and come back
Who said that? Where did you get this news?
- The radio said it
- Radio?
So, it maybe is
Come on, that's not acceptable
Then everything is ruined
- Look, we'll do this
- Tell me
I'll write a check for March
15, 700,000 tomans
Wow
- 700,000 tomans
- That's a very good offer
- Good?
- He adds a hundred to it for the delay?
- You're adding a hundred?
- Yes
Alright, it's done
- Done?
- Yes
It's accepted
Alright Khosro
Your check issue was solved
by your brother Heshmat
- You solved it?
- You did?
Sorry, I was asleep
Forget it, whoever solved it, fine
Look, what matters is that Shahla
realized Mr. Heshmat isn't spineless
Be our wedding witness, we'll
get married and start our life
Where is Shahla?
- Here she is
- Where is she?
Well done
Well done
If these two superstars are telling the
truth, Trump has gone to the embassy
- Shahla, do you know how to speak English?
- Of course I do
If I want, I can do something
that makes everyone applaud me
- Can you speak English?
- Of course I can
Oh my God
Don't bother yourself
- What did she say?
- I didn't understand, she said quietly
Thank God
Shall we go?
Shall we go?
Come out
The police are on their way
The U.S. Embassy/ 16 January, 1979
Come on, this is American soil
Don't you get it?
What do you mean by "American soil"?
They stuffed their pockets with
dirt and came here to empty them?
Why would they need to
fill their pockets with dirt?
This is our territory
We should be planting melons here
- Come on, let it go already
I'm not letting it go, I'm not
going anywhere until I see him
All because of a tiny debt
These two are my American hostages
If you don't come out, I'll set
this place on fire with these two
Wow, listen to what Shahla is saying!
- You're so bold
- Well done
Khosro, do you have a lighter?
Lighter? No
- Do you have a lighter?
- No
Where did I put my lighter?
- Do you have a lighter?
- Do I even smoke? You're talking nonsense
Is this what you wanted?
The police are here
Is this what you wanted?
Tell Shahla to leave
- What?
- Tell her to go, otherwise they'll arrest her
Shahla, let's go
They're going to arrest you
What's it to you?
- Let's go
- Where are you doing?
- To make sure she's okay
- Where are you going?
- To make sure she's okay
- Then who's going to speak English?
I shouldn't have spoken English,
I don't want to say another word
- Come here, where are you going?
- Come on, man
Shahla
Go
It's not right for a woman to
spend the night in a holding cell
Hats off to your honor
Then why didn't anyone say
anything about my honor? Only you?
Then what about my honor?
Why does nobody tell me anything?
- Wait for me, Shahla
- Wait for me, Shahla
Wait for me, Shahla?
What then? Wait for me, Aqdas?
Why are you saying it?
Why are you saying it?
- I have to say it
- No, I have to say it
Who's being addressed?
Get in, get in
Yes
Don't make any noise
SAVAK's exile camp/ 16 January, 1979
Officer, do you even know why they
arrested us? We didn't do anything
You took my belt too,
my pants are falling down
Get in and sit down; sit in that
corner and don't make a sound
Officer, I'm the complainant here
Alright, sit down
until we figure it out
It's so dark in here, Khosro
It's so dark, it's scary
And it smells bad too
And it's hot as well
Sorry, their five-star hotel was
full they I said you could stay
here for now and enjoy this cool
drink until your rooms are ready
Stop complaining so much
Thanks, now you're making
jokes about me, Mr. Khosro?
I'm a fool, I got myself into
this mess because of you
- Because of me?
- Then because of whom?
- Because of me?
- Then because of whom?
You dragged me into this trouble
- Who was Trump talking to?
- Who ever he was talking to
- It was you
- No, it was you
- Who was doing all the talking?
- You
- That was Trump
- Then what were you?
You're not taking responsibility
- You were the middleman
- Stop talking, you ungrateful guy
Don't talk, if it weren't for your late
father I'd have slapped you so hard
- you'd be plastered against the wall
- Rest in peace, say a prayer for him
He says he was the
one doing all the talking
Why do you always take so long to finish?
Send blessings upon the Prophet
Sorry, I was sleeping
Who are you?
Me? You came in here
I'm your younger brother, Naser
- Mr. Naser?
- Yes?
I'm Heshmat and this is my cousin Khosro
Nice to meet you
What were you arrested for?
These days, brother, they're arresting
everyone for one reason or another
We also got involved in things
So that, God willing, with His help,
this revolution can finally bear fruit
- Then why are you laughing, Mr. Naser?
- Laughing?
What?
Am I crazy? Who laughs
in a situation like this?
When the revolution
wins, we'll all laugh together
When it settles, we'll all laugh together
We're all laughing together; when
the Imam arrives, and we'll all smiling
It's not time to laugh now
- Saeed?
- Yes?
How long have you been here?
- What?
- How long have you been here?
Six months? Eight months? A year?
How would I know? You can't tell night
from day in here; the sun rises and sets
- You mean you haven't seen the sun for a year?
- God damn you, Khosro
See? He's been here for a year
They're definitely going to execute us
No, why would they?
Why? What are you here for?
Us? We basically
destroyed America!
Shut up! How?
- What? What is he saying?
- Mr. Naser
We had two American hostages
Okay
We wanted to break into the
embassy, and they arrested us
Okay, okay... What?
- What do you mean they arrested you?
- They arrested us, they brought us here
Here we are
Well, what you're describing
carries at least the death penalty
Khosro, what's he saying?
That it's execution
I don't want to be executed
It's not necessarily like that
We were doing business with them
There's guy, Trump
- He owns casinos, he was here to
- Who?
- Tell me properly so I can stay in the loop
- Trump! Trump!
Trump had come here, and I
wanted to go into business with him
This guy dumped Trump on us
If it had worked out, you
wouldn't be saying that
Friends, this isn't the time for division
Naser, God is my witness, if it had worked
What worked?
That casino, if it had worked,
I would've become rich
The revolution's train is moving forward
and you're thinking about casinos now?
No, Mr. Naser
You gave up this world,
and now the next one as well?
There's nothing good in casino
money, don't get involved with it
Mr. Naser, I had nothing
to do with the casino
- Bless you
- It was him and the Americans
I wanted the Americans to
help Shahla become an actress
Why do you think I know everyone?
My fiancee
- Who's Shahla?
- My fiancee
- Who was Trump?
- Why would you tell him about Shahla?
hat's none of your business, he was the
one being addressed and I'm talking to him
Brothers
Have at least a little honor
What does it have to do
with us what other people do?
She wanted to be like Pouri Banaei
- Who?
- Be like Sophia Loren
Shahla
It didn't work out, everything went wrong
- Sophia Loren, do you know her?
- Do you? Elizabeth Taylor
Who?
Forget it, he doesn't know
- Naser Kheyri
- Yes?
Come on, we're going to court
so your case can be decided
Get up and come out
You brought good luck
Send blessings upon the Prophet
Does that mean
he'll be released?
I don't know; either he'll be
released or he'll be executed
Whatever is destined
Execution?
Come out and we'll find out
God damn you, Khosro
You've gotten us into trouble
Forgive me, say a prayer
Execution?
You're forgiven
I didn't do anything; I only
shouted a couple of slogans
Come on, let's go and talk
I had a couple of announcements
Revolutionary-Popular Base
4 November, 1979
What happened?
I've found those two
prisoners you mentioned
Which two?
Khosro and Heshmat Saharkhiz
Now? I told you two months ago to
find them, and now you found them?
Sir, I'm sorry; the guys were busy
with other cases and they forgot
The case I'm referring to is important
Yes, sorry
Are they brothers?
No, sir; they are cousins
And these two are very strange, sir
Their file says they took two American
hostages to get into the embassy
Did they really do
something like that, sir?
It's in the file, so they did
Don't investigate, bring them in
Yes, sir
He keeps asking questions
Sir, they're here
Sorry
- Take that off
- Yes, yes
- Take it off
- Yes
What are you doing, my friend?
Take them off and go out
Here
Where is this sound coming from?
It's me; you fool, it's me
Open your eyes
- You get out
- Yes, sir
It's me, it's me
This guy
This guy?
I am now the commander of this base
How are you doing Saeed?
Who's Saeed?
A commander, a master, a chief
Dear Naser!
I'm at your service, dear Naser
Naser, Saeed; whatever it is, forget it
Commander
- Do you want me to tell Mr.
- No!
Who? Who? Naser...
- Is he a pilot? What is he talking about?
- It's Naser
Look, when he was
interrogating us
and we told him everything, we
should've realized he was an infiltrator
Then he got released just like that
We told him everything
Praise America, praise America
- America...
- is good
Saeed, right?
Commander, master, chief
This is the last time I'm telling you
Call him commander
Commander
I personally made a deal with the Americans
I mean Americans
Made a deal with him
They really rely on me
I'm really close with them
I made a contract with them, he's informed
He even brought the Americans...
- and I talk to them
- Looking like this?
Yes, he can speak English
He spoke to them in English
Tell him
Mr. Naser
Speak Persian in my base; speak Persian
Why did you tell me to
speak English? He got upset
Because you were speaking English with them
Mr. Naser, I swear, me
and Mr. Trump are like this
With Mr. Jack Nicholson
With Mr. Warren Beatty
With all the people of America
Got it
Forget it; America's over, the
Shah's gone, and so are the casinos
Forget it, Shah is gone
We know that he left
Didn't he come back?
We invited many people
to his father's birthday
Return where?
Where would he come back to?
- We invited people
- You shouldn't; who even are you?
So what happens to his one million
now? What about my red Paykan?
The country is completely upside down and
you're only thinking about your own money
I know exile has been hard on
you, Tunb isn't a suitable place
We were in exile?
- Yes, you were in exile
- Tunb? Greater?
- Lesser
- Lesser?
What difference does it make?
You had a hard time there anyway
Very hard
I was supposed to come and get you
but we got caught up in the revolution
My responsibilities were
heavy,
I barely had time for myself,
let alone come find you
You stayed there 9 months
9 month?
I swear, Saeed
- It's not Saeed
- Naser
- Let me turn him in
- No, no, no
I only showered in the first
month, then I didn't shower anymore
- Is that your smell?
- I haven't taken a shower in eight months
- Is that your smell?
- No, no, it's partly my smell too
He hasn't showered either
Your actions will be recorded in history
Who could strike at
imperialism like you did?
- Me! Me!
- Bravo
Me
Both of you
- You both
- I was the one doing the talking
We went straight into
the what was that he said?
Imperialism, global imperialism
- Yes!
- Not the small one
We defeated and destroyed them all
Rights must be taken
Tell the guys to make some tea for us
and let's go take over the embassy together
- Go where?
- Take over the embassy
There's a bit of Iranian
soil left in Trump's hands
Is this a joke or what?
I put my name on the line for
you, do you want to embarrass me?
He's talking to you, he
puts his name on the line
Enough already; you look a mess, stop
talking nonsense and go clean yourselves up
Do you have a place to stay, or
should I arrange something for you?
- We don't have a place, arrange something
- You don't?
There's a cell downstairs
A cell? No, we do have a
place; I just remembered
- You just said you don't
- Zinat-ol-Molouk's house
- Whose house?
- Zinat-ol-Molouk
- Whose house?
- Zinat-ol-Molouk
- We had a revolution so you two could go to Zinat-ol-Molouk's house?
- You come too
- I come too? So all three of us can go to Zinat-ol-Molouk's house?
- She's his mother in law
- Then say so
- She's an 80 year old elderly woman
The three of us go there,
someone will have a heart
attack; who'll answer
for it in the afterlife?
- Send my greetings to your mother in law
- Of course
Go
Put that there, well done
Well done
Come here, boy
Give it to me, boy
Zinat-ol-Molouk Badr-ol-Zaman's house,
November 4, 1979
Come here, boy
Pick these and put them there
Thank you
Come here
Where's that boy?
Boy?
Well done, hurry
- What's going on?
- I don't know
- I'm asking what's going on?
- I don't know!
What happened?
- What happened?
- I think she's sold the house
I said I think, I'm not sure
Why are you laughing?
What did you remember? Tell me
I'm crying, you jerk
Are you alive, Khosro?
She looks familiar
Hello
Zinat
- Zinat?
- ol-Molouk
- ol-Molouk?
- Badr-ol-Zaman
I this Zinat-ol-Molouk Badr-ol-Zaman?
You look so different
- Is it a wedding?
- No, we're just in mourning like this
- Where were you?
- In prison
Political prison
Yeah right!
So my son in law was a
revolutionary, and we didn't know?
Yes
I suppose his gambling was just a cover
I only came home to see if
everything was still in its place and
I see you've even dressed
it all up nicely, good for you
Yes, it's for a good occasion
It's for Shadmehr
Shadmehr? My son?
- With whom?
- With whom?
With Zhina
- Zhina?
- Zhina?
- The cabaret owner's daughter
- With the cabaret owner's daughter?
Khosro don't touch this,
or at least tell me first
That's enough already;
her father has repented
He even donated his
cabarets to the Revolution
Repentance
- So he's absolutely clean?
- Absolutely clean
No luck with this one either
Look, I'll put up with you
today for your son's sake
But tomorrow, you'll pack up and leave
No
I won't stay in a house
where a boy is getting
married while refusing to
acknowledge his own father
- I won't stay at all
- Good, you shouldn't
No, I won't stay
Great; after all these years,
you've finally said one sensible thing
Can I just call someone?
- She said yes?
- Yes
Who are you going to call?
The inn
- Which inn?
- Daryaei
- Daryaei inn?
- Shahla
- Shahla?
- Yes
What for?
I want to dig up information on Trump
- You want to call Shahla?
- Yes
I'll call her myself
- I'll make the call
- If you want to call Shahla, I'll call her
- What's the difference?
- Shahla Wait
- Isn't Shahla the contact?
- Well?
- Who's talking to her?
- Me
I
I'm going talk to her
Do you even know what's this?
Daryaei Inn
November 4, 1979
I've got balloons, balloons!
Khosro, come get your parrot
Come here, Francesco
It's so cool
Well done
I'll call you later
- Hope you're not too tired
- Thanks
You're Daryaei, the
owner of this place, right?
Yes
I'm Daryaei, and this is Seagull
Ah! Seagull
Any way, is Ms. Shahla here?
Ms. Shahla is the manager here
My friend, would you please call
Ms. Shahla? We need to speak with her
Whoever she is
Please go
Is it another Shahla?
He's talking about another
Shahla; let her come
Why did you stop?
One guy got another girl pregnant,
and you're blaming me for it?
This is for all those years when
you kept me from getting to Shahla
If I had been with her, things
would never have come to this
All those years, you
And now it's Trump
Alright, calm down
Khosro, maybe this is a sign
A sign of what?
- I don't know
- Hey, Khosro
If you're looking for
Trump, he's at the embassy
After they arrested
you, I followed up on it
He wasn't able to leave the country
Khosro
Does that mean she still loves me?
See?
See?
She told me where Trump is
That means she loves me
Oh come on, what a letdown; Let me
say something, and you just confirm it
- She was looking at me
- Looking at what?
Me
Go on, or Trump will get away; They're
standing here arguing with each other
Go already
Alright, don't get worked up; the kid
gets upset, and his father gets worried
It's young father!
Let's go
Daryaei, did you like it or not?
The U.S. Embassy
November 4, 1979
It's security
It's your responsibility
Guys, unfortunately it's closed
We'll go and come back tomorrow
Move over
They're armed
We're not here to fight;
we're here for our rights
I'm just saying, they'll shoot
Calm down
No, come on
- I'm going to open the door
- Open the door
Open the door
Let's go
You go, I'll be right behind you!
I'm out!
Wait a minute, I need to do something
Come here, that way
That room, five people over there
Khosro check there
- Check that too
- Trump
Four, five people over there
Go search the rooms over there
Seyed, you've become a Machiavellian;
you've taken Bani-Sadr's path
Our path is the path of Beheshti
Revolutionary-Popular Base/ 4 November, 1979
Beheshti has made
everything clear for us popular
Mr. Naser, can I come in?
Me, a surrealist?
Wow, Okay! Wait
Heshmat and Khosro
Brother, I've told you a hundred times;
first, advise people to do what's right
Second, discourage wrongdoing
If that doesn't work, drag them in by force
- Brother, we'll talk later
- We need to Mr. Naser
You slipped
You slipped, brother
- What?
- I'm telling know, he knows us
What's going on out there?
These two cousins are
here, they want to see you
You can't even control outside,
and you want to save the country?
Bring them in
I'm a surrealist now?
Get in
Is this what you wanted?
He calls me a surrealist
- Naser, they're not letting us in
- Forget "Naser"; I'm the commander, idiot
Naser, bro, do you love us or not?
- What's the connection? What's this?
- We're revolutionaries, we get each other
This is Francesco
We understand each other
- They're escaping
- Who?
We know exactly where are they right now
- Why are they so important?
- They are important
They've taken other people's
money, they took my money
Yes, actually they took his money
My friend, at this point we need
to think about the national interest
Why are you focused on personal interests?
- Look, don't make me go there myself
- Looks like he's out of control
He doesn't have any
brakes at all, dear Naser
No, it's no use; I have to
go and take action myself
My friend
I put my name on the line for you,
you were supposed to protect my name
He's gone
Naser
Don't say "Naser", you idiot
- Commander
- That's it
If Khosro goes, he'll turn
the whole city upside down
What does he think
this is, the Wild West?
He's after this, and
he won't let it go
- Turn this around and let's see what it is
- Here
Did you bring your curtain from home?
- I'm keeping this photo
- No, no, I need this
No, no
Phone's ringing
Yes?
Yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes, the passports are here
We can start the operation
Everything is under control, don't
worry; we can proceed according to plan
Excuse me, though, there's
something I wanted to discuss with you
There are these two men named
Khosro and Heshmat Saharkhiz
I'm worried about those two; they're
causing trouble and might mess things up
But of course, I'll handle it myself
I'll take care of it
Goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
He's calling me a surrealist
- Naser, Naser
- Get out of here, idiot
Residence of the Canadian Ambassador
November 6, 1979
Here is your passport
Mehrabad International Airport
November 6, 1979
Here you are
Aria
Canadian Ambassador's residence
November 6, 1979
What is this?
Whose ticket is this?
Khosro!
Khosro, come here
- Khosro?
- What is this? I'm here
Khosro, this is a plane ticket
Well?
- They went to the airport
- Airport? Darn it
If we go early, we'll get there
Knowing my luck, we won't make it
We'll make it, we will
If I had any luck, I wouldn't
have this mole on my nose
Mehrabad International Airport
November 6, 1979
Take off your glasses
Where are you going?
That's not the one, Khosro
Let's go
- Sorry
- Next
- Hello, sir
- Hello sir, good day to you
Has this guy come here?
- This picture isn't clear at all
- What do you mean it's not clear?
- It's Trump!
- I can't tell anything from this picture
If you know anything, tell me sir
- He took a lot of people's money
- I have no information
- Go to the passport section
- Khosro!
- Khosro, I'm heading out
- Oh the parrot!
Francesco! Francesco!
Francesco!
Francesco!
The parrot! The parrot!
Wait
Take it
Next
- Good day, sir
- Good day
Did this man pass through
here with this ticket?
It's not clear, you can't see it
Pay attention
You can't see it clearly,
it's not identifiable
- Ladies and gentlemen, have you seen this man?
- Lower your voice, sir
- Is he here? Have you seen this man?
- Lower your voice, sir
- He shouldn't have passed through here
- Give me his ticket
He should be here,
here's the ticket
- It's not clear
- Donald Trump
Donald Trump
He's from the embassy
He's on the run
Nothing is clear
- The gate has been closed
- What do you mean closed?
- Khosro, get inside
- Where? You can't go
- Who's in charge here?
- You can't go in
What's going on? What happened here?
He's causing a scene
He's not allowed through
He works for the American embassy
Let him come inside so I
can see what happened
Let me hear what you say
Heshmat, it's stuck
Wait, let me
Go ahead
Oh no! Trump got torn up!
- Oh no! Trump got torn up!
- Move! He's leaving now
What's that?
Thank you
- Thank you so much
- No problem
This photo you're looking at and
thanks to your friends, it got torn apart;
this is Mr. Trump
- Who is he?
- He was an employee of the American embassy
He shouldn't be allowed to escape
- Khosro, you tell him
- Yeah, I owe him money
- No, he owes you!
- That's exactly what I meant
Do you love me?
- Do you love me?
- Have some shame, why should I like you?
He came here from America and ripped me off
- He's a con artist, a politician
- And a gambler
- This guy?
- Yes, yes
- You should arrest him
- How? How am I supposed to find him?
- I know him
- We know him
So you'd know
him if you saw him?
I'll recognize him, he'll recognize
him, everyone will recognize him
- Me too? I'll recognize him if I see him?
- No, not you
You wouldn't recognize him
Come on, let's go
Let's go
- You come too
- You come along as well
- Watch for him, tell us if you see him
- It's not clear, sir
Let's go, he's leaving right now
Thank goodness that
once again, in the prime of
the Revolution's youth,
its honor was preserved
Just bring those two young men
to my office; this time, I'll call Mr.
Well done, brother
Please come to the base
Get moving
Nice! American club!
We took over the embassy so that
we'd have an American club in our country
Bravo! Well done!
Well, well, well!
My friends who promote
deviation and moral corruption
Get up
Aren't you ashamed? At your
age, still performing music?
Come on, repent
Our arms are open to you
We've told you many times to
repent, stay in this country and carry on
You! What do you think will happen
if you don't repent Mr. Hassan?
You should leave your guitar at home so
they know that this house belongs to you
Look when I'm telling you this
Brother Ebrahim Hamedi!
How long? How long are you going to
keep shouting into these microphones?
Repent, my brother
I don't foresee a bright future for you
At your old age, I promise you, you'll
be forced to do concerts for money
until you get tired
Until we get tired, everyone gets tired
You should repent
But Hassan and Behrouz
have no place in this country
But you should come back
