Tehran (2020) s03e03 Episode Script

[officer, in Farsi] Get off.
Quick, get out.
Move. Inside!
There you go. Two more.
This one was arrested
for violating public decency with a man.
And this one, just a troublemaker.
Take their phones.
- She needs help.
- No, she doesn't.
This whore needs to be taught a lesson,
and so do you.
She's badly hurt.
She's fine.
I didn't touch a single hair on her head.
Take them in. Take them in.
- Go inside.
- [officer] Inside!
[guard] Let me see your hands!
You've got tattoos?
Hands down.
Pull down your sleeve and shut up.
- [prisoner] I want to call my father.
- [guard] Shut up!
You wouldn't even talk that way
to a criminal.
[guard] Button up your top.
- Shut your mouth!
- [prisoner] Give me my phone.
I want to call my family.
[prisoners clamoring]
[clamoring continues]
Please sit down. I told you
we're looking into it. Sit down, please.
We're looking into it. Sit down.
Hello. Keep up the good work.
What's your name?
[panting]
- Daria.
- Daria.
And your good-looking boyfriend,
what's his name?
Aslan. [inhales sharply]
Don't you have a boyfriend?
Why won't they just let us live our lives?
[sniffles]
When will they end?
As God as my witness, she's a good girl.
But she's young. She made a mistake.
Let me take her home.
I'll discipline her myself.
Upon my honor.
What's her name, sir?
My head.
Seriously, can't anyone take care of her?
She's really sick.
[guard] Sit down.
- Don't you have an ounce of humanity?
- I told you to shut up and sit down!
Call an ambulance. She needs help.
She's fine.
We see things like this every day.
Is this her?
Yes, yes.
Then how can you let such a thing
happen again?
Forget it, I said. Shut up!
Why are you here?
- How can you say that?
- Sit down.
Officer, come take her.
May you live a long life.
- Shut your mouth!
- Don't touch me! Don't touch me!
Get off me! Don't touch me!
Let me go! Let me go!
See that? If any of you act like that,
you'll end up the same.
[panting]
[Tamar] Daria. Daria.
Call Leyla Ansari.
Daria, look at me.
Look at me.
Leyla Ansari!
Leyla Ansari!
Leyla Ansari!
- This is her phone.
- [Owl] May you live a long life.
- Here's Leyla.
- [groans]
Here. Here's your daughter.
Thank you for helping her.
Get her out and help her.
Enough.
And tell everyone
what these animals did to her!
I said that's enough! Get her inside!
[officer] Inside!
- Get your daughter out of here!
- [officer] Get in.
You're very kind.
Come, my child.
[knocks]
[guard] Shut your mouth! Filth!
- Shut up! Silence!
- [prisoner screaming, crying]
- Bitch!
- [guard 2] Silence!
[prisoner, speaking Farsi]
Please. For God's sake.
I made a mistake, please forgive me.
Shut the door on your way out.
Why do you fight so hard when you can see
all we're trying to do is help you?
Help me?
Such ingratitude.
Don't you know what happens to a man
when he sees a woman's hair uncovered?
But some of you only understand one thing.
Isn't that right?
[grunts]
[gasps]
What was that?
- You're going to call my uncle.
- I don't give a damn about your uncle.
Okay. But you should.
[reporter] We are now witnessing the head
of the AIA mission entering Evin prison.
Dr. Eric Peterson was arrested on charges
of espionage pertaining
to our country's nuclear facilities.
- Move it.
- [Nico, in English] Okay, okay.
Where are the women in my team?
They'll be detained
in a different facility.
Why would such an intelligent man
do something so stupid?
Why don't you tell me?
Pure arrogance, I guess.
You've had your moment
for the cameras. You can piss off now.
[chuckles]
[cell phone buzzing]
[in Farsi] Who's speaking?
Where?
My dear Ava, it's Nahid.
I can't believe I found you!
[laptop chimes]
My sister! Is it really you?
[knocking]
[knocking continues]
Mrs. Kamali?
Yes.
You'll have to come with us
to headquarters.
Is something wrong?
- No, it's just routine questioning,
regarding an open case.
Please come with us.
[chuckles] Okay.
Let me just get ready.
I'll be right there.
[cell phone buzzing]
NAHID
Not now.
[whispers] Answer me.
Okay. I'm coming.
After you.
- Yulia.
- [in English] Go ahead.
The Iranians have arrested
an AIA inspector, Eric Peterson.
He's accused of spying
on the Iranian nuclear program.
along with six other inspectors.
Per the Atomic Energy Organization
of Iran's spokesperson,
these inspectors have been arrested
during their mission
at one of Iran's nuclear facilities.
Two of these inspectors are women.
Dr. Peterson and his associates
[in English]
Wouldn't want to be in his position.
We've got more pressing matters.
Do we have a visual of the police station?
Almost there.
[reporter continues, in Farsi]
serious repercussions for relations
between the Islamic Republic of Iran
[prisoner] Officer, I should go to court.
I've been summoned.
I've been here two months and there
hasn't been any progress in my case.
[prisoners clamoring]
[prisoner shouting]
[officer] Shut up!
Get in. Next.
Get in! Take this one to interrogation!
[in English] No, no!
Marcus, don't be afraid.
You've done nothing wrong.
[in Farsi] Shut up! Stand back!
Jackass!
She's in here.
[Faraz sighs]
She forcefully resisted arrest
outside the Shiraz restaurant.
I'm sorry about this.
I was on my way to help you
with your little computer problem.
She says she's your niece.
She's a liar.
Let her go.
[officer] Why?
She works for me.
An informant.
You'll report none of this.
None of this ever happened.
Yes, sir.
Go.
[prisoners chattering]
- [in English] Go to hell, Eric.
But it has.
Don't think I'm not blaming myself.
But it's what you started
that put us all in this hellhole.
- Fuck!
And that's supposed to give me confidence?
The way you've been the last few months,
To think I once looked up to you,
defended you.
Nico, I had to do it.
I should have let the agency
get rid of you when they wanted.
The agency are a bunch of cowards.
The Iranians are a bunch of liars.
Listen to yourself.
You're not just reckless.
You're a wreck.
A fucking relic.
You knew they would
trace the hack back to me.
I had an idea.
[Faraz]
You think you're so smart, don't you?
Where are you taking me?
- [agent] I got it.
- Location?
[agent] Traffic camera across
from Sepah headquarters downtown.
[Tamir] He's taking her in.
Why are we here?
[sighs]
Right now, in there,
they're scanning Mohammadi's computer.
You have to hack it.
Undo what you did.
Or we wait.
When the scan identifies my phone,
the first thing I'll do is shoot you.
I'll have nothing to lose.
To be honest with you,
I'll find it quite liberating, actually.
Okay, I'll do it.
- Get me access, and I'll do it remotely.
- No, no, no, no.
You're going inside.
I'm not letting you out of my sight
until I know it's done.
That's crazy. How?
Let me worry about that.
I could be ID'd in there.
I'll take that chance.
[in Farsi] A pass for my visitor, please.
Technical support.
What name?
Abdollah!
We don't keep our Brother Kamali waiting.
- There you go.
- Thanks.
[in English]
Marcus, it'll be okay. I promise.
[in Farsi] Hey, you. It's your turn.
Get out. I want to talk to you.
[in English] No, no, no. I'm the leader
of this team. You talk to me.
You leave these people alone.
[in Farsi]
Sit back down and don't talk to me!
- Take me!
- Stay back!
- [in English] Hey!
- [clamoring]
- [grunting]
- Eric!
- Eric!
- [groans]
[groaning]
[door slams shut]
- [speaking Farsi]
- Hello.
[person] It was delicious.
[person 2] The stuff they added to it,
it really changed the flavor.
[person] We have to go there again.
[person 2]
During your next visit, God willing.
[person, speaks Farsi]
Hello.
It's a bit warm in here, isn't it?
Are you warm?
[sighs]
You were a patient
of Dr. Montazemi's, right?
- Yes.
- Why is that?
The details are private,
but I was having problems
following a traumatic event.
[Behrouz] Of course, I see.
You were held captive
by the vicious Zionists.
That must have been terrible.
did they offer or promise you anything?
No.
And your insinuation is insulting.
- Hassan, how are you?
- Sir.
I need a terminal.
This is Mrs. Fatemi.
She's here to take care
of a technical issue.
[Faraz] Don't question me!
I've explained the situation.
What you should be concerned with
is the identity of the person
who hacked us. Understood?
Yes.
This way. Go ahead.
What we find peculiar is
why did Dr. Montazemi
attend the funeral in the first place?
She was there for me.
Can you access it?
I don't know. I'm doing all I can.
[technician, speaks Farsi]
[Faraz] What does that mean?
It means you have to buy me some time.
If I go any further, the supervisor there
will be able to spot it.
You have to distract him.
Let me test my chance.
Do you want me to stop that or don't you?
Wait.
Could you elaborate?
I had to go pay my respects,
but being there with all the mourners
was overwhelming.
My husband called and asked her to come.
She helped me stay and get through it.
and then,
the explosion.
[typing]
PERSCARGO SHIPMEN
[Behrouz]
You must feel some guilt as well.
I'm sorry?
I beg your pardon.
I just mean,
if Dr. Montazemi hadn't come to help you,
she'd probably be alive now.
Am I right?
Ma'am. Are you all right?
What's the matter?
Actually, it is rather hot.
[breathing shakily]
May I take a break?
[typing]
Well?
I found it.
But there's a problem.
[Faraz] What?
I can bypass the scan from here,
but I need physical access
to the computer,
even if it's just for a moment.
No. Impossible.
There's no other way.
I've already hacked the security system.
Your pass won't show up.
Give it to me and I'll go.
Give it to me.
No, I'll go. You stay right here.
- [Mahmoud] Hessam.
- [speaks Farsi]
[Mahmoud] How are you? What's new?
- Are you all right, ma'am?
- [mouthing] I'm fine.
Here you go.
I'll be back in ten minutes.
[speaks Farsi]
[breathes shakily]
[employees chattering]
Excuse me.
It's fine.
Hey!
I said stop!
Lady, I told you to stop!
I said stop!
No, please hold.
Detain her if you see her.
I have some questions for her.
She has a blue headscarf.
Detain her if you see her.
I have some questions for her.
Excuse me, did a young woman
just pass here, headed that way?
[in English] Why are you here?
[breathing heavily]
Please, you have to help me get out.
Would you get me out too? Out of Iran?
I'll try.
I promise.
[sighs]
[in Farsi] Thank you.
[clicks tongue]
[Mahmoud] Go see if the scan's finished.
I think she may be connected
to Marjan's murder.
Brother.
You. Come here. Arash, stay alert.
- Let everyone know.
- [guard] Everyone stay on alert.
[Behrouz] Keep your eyes peeled.
A blue headscarf.
Come on, let's go. Right now.
[Behrouz] Yes, yes. I know.
[guard 3, speaks Farsi]
I saw her outside the dead
psychiatrist's house. It's definitely her.
Sorry, ma'am.
Faraz.
[Hessam] Hassan. It's done. Come and see.
You. Stop.
[cell phone buzzing]
Yes.
[Mahmoud] Sir, I'm sorry,
it's about General Mohammadi's computer.
Miss, you go ahead.
You, come closer.
Let me see your IDs.
Your ID, please.
We've drawn a blank.
The number is a dead end.
Thank you.
I apologize, Mr. Kamali,
we have a technical issue with the gate.
I'll get Jalal to open it manually.
- Jalal, open it!
- [Jalal, speaks Farsi]
Get in.
What did Behrouz say?
[Nahid] He asked about Marjan.
What did you tell him?
You didn't say anything stupid, did you?
[breathes shakily]
Oh, I did.
I told him I sprayed poison
in Marjan's face,
and that you were the one
who handed Mohammadi
the damn bomb that incinerated him.
I tried so hard to protect you.
But frankly, I don't even know why.
You and Behrouz, you're two peas in a pod.
Stop the car.
- [speaks Farsi]
- I said stop the car!
[sniffles]
For years I've lived without children,
Without any family here,
spending all my time alone at home.
And I got used to it.
I was a lot stronger than I thought.
But this past year was much more
than I could take, Faraz.
- Nobody can take all this!
- Nahid!
Nahid!
[horn honks]
- [in English] What happened to the girl?
- I dropped her at the hospital.
Thank you.
Save it. To hell with you both.
You think that made a difference?
I'm the one who's responsible
for your recklessness!
You could have been killed.
You might have blown our cover.
Well, I was sure I could escape.
Bullshit!
I told you Kamali was in jeopardy
because of what you put on his phone.
You assumed he'd come bail you out.
- You were guessing. It was a long shot.
- Everything worked out.
It worked?
It worked to help out that rat Kamali?
No. I was just using Kamali
to gather the information on the shipment.
I knew he'd want my help.
And that was my chance to get access
to Mohammadi's computer.
Their plan is to build a bomb
and conduct a nuclear test.
The final component ships here tonight.
I know when and where
it's going to happen.
I'd help that girl in a heartbeat
if I could do it over.
Just to be clear.
Your phone.
[cell phone beeps]
RAMIN
How are you?
Don't forget to drop by
Pull over here.
[people clamoring]
- You okay?
- Why do you care?
[in Farsi] Stop it! What are you doing?
[in English] You let innocent people
be dragged away in front of your eyes
by those bisharafaan and you do nothing!
[in Farsi] Let her go.
[in English] What I do
and how I do it is my business.
A man in my position, it's complicated.
It could've been your sister,
your daughter
with their heads smashed in on the street.
Would you tell them the same thing?
You're right.
[in Farsi]
I have something for you. Jahan.
There's a bag in the car. Bring it.
[in English] I don't need to explain
the gravity of the situation to you.
The ambassador and myself
have already expressed our outrage
to the Iranian authorities.
So my arrest has gone public?
Your case is getting maximum exposure.
The level of outrage
Has my daughter been contacted?
As I understand it, yes.
Has she responded?
Has someone spoken to her?
I don't have that information. But, yes.
Family pressure can be very useful
in these situations.
But the international clamor
What if I did it?
I'm sorry?
What if I planted a surveillance device
to try and catch the Iranians
in breach of AIA regulations?
And I was prepared to admit that in return
for the release of my colleagues.
No.
No.
They would use this to end
nuclear inspection for a generation.
Let me be clear.
There are innocent people sitting
in this jail here because of my actions.
People with full and meaningful lives
ahead of them.
Now, if the international community
does not act to secure their freedom
as a priority,
I will do whatever it takes
to make that happen.
Thank you for coming to see me.
[sighs]
[in Farsi] Don't worry about how I got it.
Oh, I know how you got it.
This is Tehran. Lying is the only way
to get anything here.
I just hope those lies
don't come back to haunt us.
[sighs]
Thank you.
Give her two of these to calm her.
Zahra, bring some water.
[sighs]
from us both.
Faraz.
- Honey.
- Where have you been?
[sighing] I just drove around the city.
- It's a beautiful night, isn't it?
- [chuckles]
Then you must be hungry.
[footsteps approaching]
[in English] Come with us.
[Tamir] We dug up some more information
on Eric Peterson.
He grew up in apartheid South Africa,
worked there for the authorities
on their nuclear program
until the late '80s,
then joined the AIA where he served
as overseer on his own nuclear program
and saw that it was shut down.
Since then he does inspections in Iran.
[Yulia] I want to confirm this
with our international friends.
See if he has any connections
with the Americans or the British.
Tamar.
The regime will use this to shut down
the nuclear inspections altogether,
which makes your mission
all the more important.
Restate your objectives.
Tag the vehicle they leave in
and identify the smuggled items.
Let's hope you can manage it this time.
[line clicks]
You can't let her affect your work.
Her opinion of me doesn't matter.
Well, it should matter.
[Tamar] According to the GPS, we're here.
[car approaching]
I've seen those black cars before.
Ramin's here.
- Do we have eyes?
- Satellite feed coming online now.
[Tamar] I recognise him.
He picked up the warhead parts
from the previous shipment.
Can we ID him?
That's Jaafar Musavi,
senior energy engineer.
[Yulia] And that means
we're at the right place.
[Tamar] Ramin's leaving.
Tamar, you have to get a beacon on the
vehicle with the warhead parts, alright?
[Tamar] Wait.
There's someone in the other vehicle.
- I can't see anything.
- [Tamar] I have a visual.
Who is it? Tamar, report.
- [Yulia] Shit.
- [Tamar] Do you know who that is?
[Yulia] Yes.
It can't be him.
He's supposed to be in prison.
It's Peterson?
Yes, that's Peterson.
And he can give them their bomb.
