01x10 - The Devil's Breath

[bunniefuu]

[The series may consist of
violent and unpleasant scenes]

[Watching the series may not be
suitable for people under the age of 18]

[The fact shaped by your mind]

[will someday come true.]

[So, this is a true story.]

[Previously on The Frog]

Sure, sir.

Go back inside.
He doesn't want you to leave.

I'm worried about Soroush.

Kick him out, Nouri.

I wanna find out

what he had planned to do with the finger.

When you return the finger
to where you took it from.

The issue is that there isn't a finger
for me to return to where it was anymore.

Find another one then.

- Mom didn't find out about it. Did she?
- No.

My passport?

Here.

What the hell are you doing here?

What's wrong? You go wherever you want
and I'll go wherever I want.

I have a meeting with him.

- Who should I say is here?
- His doctor.

Where is she?

She had some business to attend
so I'm filling in.

Something was spotted in your last test.

It's something like
a microorganism or an allergy.

Something has easily entered your blood.

I need to collect samples.

I need to look for
whatever you're exposed to.

I'm in.

But you said you could do it without me.

I was wrong.

- It's not possible without you.
- But I can do it without you.

My mother had blood cancer.

My father stopped paying
for the expenses, too.

He said it would be pointless.

My mother died

and my father was in peace.

He found another wife very soon.

My father is the worst person I have
ever seen on the face of the Earth.

I take the tests because I'm afraid
I would end up like my mother.

What was the doctor talking about then?

She's your friend.

Why are you asking me?

I'm here to pack my stuff.

Are you going to leave and never come back?

Abad doesn't exist anymore.

Isn't it idiotic in your idea

to send me to you for a small key?

He may be planning to send
someone to deal with you.

He probably sent me to somehow
take you back there.

Why should I trust you, cutie?

Because I'm telling the truth.

Because you're an idiot not to trust me.

You are not supposed to know
that the finger doesn't work.

We'll screw him and take
half of whatever's there each.

Then everyone goes their way.

The stamp. There's a bit of the drug
under the stamp's foam.

You just try to distract him

I'll rub the stamp on him from behind.

Suicide without anyone's interference.

If you ever find out
that I have betrayed you,

what would you do?

[Episode 10]
[Devil's Breath]

I read somewhere that you better make
someone angry to hear the truth from them.

So angry

that they would start talking

before they think.

I need to...

I need to know what he's thinking about.

I need to know what's going on in his head.

What makes him lose control?

Lose control so that he wouldn't
be able to think properly.

Just like someone who
throws punches blindly in a fight.

He's wounded.

He is hurt by hearing the truth
and is now bruised.

He is fire itself right now.

b*stard.

Come on now.

Damn you.

I'm not going.

- What do you mean "I'm not going"?
- You heard me.

Are you joking with me?

What should I do there
with your prop finger?

You should never have come to me
in the first place if you weren't sure.

You would have drowned in your
own stupidity hadn't I come to you.

Someone would cut your throat
while you were snoring.

Is that how you thank me?

I would be happier not knowing about it.

You're responsible now
that you told me about it.

My father is responsible
to bring me to this world, too.

Go away.

For god's sake, don't go.

Wait. We'll do it together

and then we go our separate ways.

I'm out.

Why?

You were on board with it before this.

I'm afraid.

We'll do it together.

I'll distract Nouri. I'll keep him busy

and you'll be looking for the stamp.
How's that?

Don't worry. I know how to deal with him.

I'm not afraid of him.

I'm afraid of you.

Why?

You're too nervous.
You can't control yourself.

So what? I might be.

What does it have to do
with you being afraid?

The brains of the people who are
this nervous cannot work properly.

They do something all of a sudden
and ruin everything.

I'm angry. That's right.

You would be the same if you were me.

Nouri has officially made me a target.

But this has nothing to do with
what we plan to do.

I can control it.

You can't.

I made a mistake.

You're digging the past.

You're opening old wounds.

He knows that and that's why
he's toying with you.

You two are like cats and dogs.

You should play with Legos.

When it comes to playing chess,
you just throw the pieces at each other.

Shut your mouth. Stop trying
to talk like a gentleman.

"You guys are Legos and I'm a chess"

What made you think you're a genius?

Small jobs don't need massive plans.
You're taking it too seriously.

We'll go there and I'll do
what Nouri wants me to do.

You'll be there on time
to rub the damn stuff on him

so that the drug would influence him.
That's it.

I also promise not to open my wounds

before you rub the drug on him.
Happy now?

Are there any other problems, cutie pie,
or you're not satisfied yet?

- There is.
- What now?

What if I help you find the drugs
and then you ditch me?

Nothing. I will have ditched you.

No, mate. You should guarantee.

Whenever you guarantee you won't ditch me,

I will write you a cheque
signed by all the neighbors, too.

He wants assurance.

Go away.

This is a jungle, cutie pie.

You and I just think that we're dangerous.

Everyone sees a lion
when they look in the mirror.

The winner is the one
who doesn't get eaten.

So you and I won't go near
the hungry ones. Understood?

The problem is that we're both hungry.

Lions only have beautiful names and looks.

The full ones are the ones above the body.

A buzzard.

A vulture.

The lion has hunted.

It's now time for us buzzards.

Only if we don't reach out
to each other's plates.

If we stay satisfied with our share.

Right?

- Is it a police stop?
- Some rocks fell. It's blocked.

It's like when they say
if rocks fall from the sky.

May god help us with the third trouble.

[Twelve years before]

Look. Look.

It fell right on top of my flowers.

Look what it did to the flowers.

What are you looking at? How are you going
to figure out if it fell from the sky?

What's got into you?

You belong to the Third
World no matter what.

- You just stand there and look.
- Do you belong to First World?

- What's wrong with looking?
- You don't believe me when I say it.

But you think if you look,
you can find the hole.

I'm telling you it's a meteorite. I'm sure.

Why did you bring me here if you're sure?

To see it.

So what?

So that if someone actually did it,
you would deal with them.

Stop staring at her.

Why would she drop a stone on the flowers?

- Is she crazy?
- Not only she is crazy

she is also a lot of other things.

Like what?

She's one of those kids who have
many things going on in their heads.

She's somewhat different than anyone else.

Whenever I see her late at night
in the house, I get scared as hell.

Stop acting like cowards, idiot.

They are innocent people.

This place isn't a soup kitchen.

How about we bring whoever
we see in the street back home?

They could all be innocent people.

These people are different.

We aren't totally blameless
for the death of their mother.

She is an innocent child.

Did you know that evil spirits
emerge in the shape of children?

You and I are evil spirits.

This child is an angel.

The angel you're talking about

took a stone and screwed my dear flowers.

You were just saying it was


There's still a one percent chance
it was done by the evil family.

I'm not throwing them out.

Do we need extra mouths to fill?
Send them to a job at least.

We would both jump to grab a job
if there was any. Do you have anything?

I meant real solid jobs. Not our job.

What can a small girl do, moron?

- Do you have a brain in your head?
- His brother can do stuff.

He's big enough and even has a mustache.

We can't do it without a plan.

If we focus on it and make no mistakes,

we will make decent money.
Are you even listening to me?

Yeah. How much are we talking about?

A lot.

Almost a ton.

A ton of what?

A ton of cocaine.

A ton of cocaine is so valuable, Soroush.
Are you sure?

Yeah, if you stop messing
with the damn thing.

- I'm looking for tablets.
- Yeah, I'm sure about it.

They used to be an import
and export company.

I mean they used to import stuff.

They used to import cigarettes legally

and smuggle cocaine alongside it.

Cigarette was supposed to be their main
source of income but cocaine replaced it.

They soon found out that
their cover is being blown

so they left Iran as soon as they could.

They are supposed to return if they
see everything's back to normal.

Whether they stay or return.
What's the difference for us?

The difference is that the ton
is in the country right now.

They haven't taken it.

They have just left without it.

Each ton of cocaine equals
a thousand kilograms.

Each thousand grams is a kilogram.

In other words, it's a million grams.

Even if we sell each gram for 50000 Tomans,
it would be worth 50 billion Tomans.

It's decent money.

- Why didn't you talk about it sooner?
- This is as soon as it could be.

I couldn't have told you any sooner.
I've just found out about it.

I'm sorry but I think you're mistaken

because nobody leaves

all this cocaine to escape.

They didn't leave it in the street.
They are protecting it in a safe.

There's only one guard who thinks
he's protecting some furniture.

We need to somehow distract him
to get to the drugs

and take all of it back with us.
As easy as that.

Something smells fishy.

It doesn't make sense.

You just made a few calculations
and came up with some numbers

and now you think
you're the big brain here?

Where do you think I get the money
to set you colorful tables every night?

It comes from the same jobs
that smell fishy to you.

I think he's not wrong, Soroush.
It does smell fishy.

What part of it?

Haven't you ever seen a dealer

who throws out whatever they have once they
see a cop just so he can't be arrested?

- Is it really that strange?
- My question is that

why doesn't the one
who gave you the information

go for it themselves?

Because he's a supervising engineer.
He's only the supervisor.

The workers work for him.

Who are the workers in this?

Poor me and you.

We carry the bricks
and they collect the money.

So we should now go back to being a worker.
Right?

Check out that idiot of a guard.

Try to become friends with him.

See if you can find out
where the drugs are exactly.

So he hasn't figured out
what he's guarding yet?

If I say so, it means he hasn't.

There's next to no chance that's the case.

What am I sending you there for then?

There's next to no chance.

What about me, Soroush?
What should I do?

You're in charge of cooking for now.

It looks like the stars are aligned
to stop us from going there.

We can ditch the plan if you want.

I need something to do, Leila.
I'll be right back. Okay?

Where?

- On the other side of the pond.
- I wanna go with you.

No, you can't.

Where should I go then?

Nowhere. You'll stay here.

Take me home to Soroush then.

Firstly, that's not home
and the guy isn't your brother.

Plus, is he as old as you
to just call him Soroush?

Remember this. Whenever I had to
get out of there, you should get out, too.

Get out to stay in the street?

It's not the street.
It's a playground for children.

These are all around the same age as you.

Play with them. Understood?

I'm talking to you. Understood?

- Excuse me?
- Yes?

I need a boat.

Prepare a boat, Hossein.
Wait a minute.

Put your hands on your head
and turn around.

Put your hands up. On your head.

- Go to that wall.
- Only people who have g*ns do this.

I'm gonna use the stun g*n.

What for?

For theft.

You came here to steal stuff.

Is there even anything to steal here?

All of you say the same thing.

You guys even stole the cables around here.

If I leave you alone,
you'll take the pillars, too.

The mice and you thieves both.

There's nothing to steal here.

Unless you're worried about something
more important than the junk around here.

Something like treasure.

Hello.

It's Kian. The security guard
at the Thai building.

- Code 773.
- Why did you hit me with the stun g*n?

- I didn't do anything wrong.
- I caught a thief.

- My ears are still ringing.
- Could you send a cop?

Yes. Sure.

Sure.

What have you hidden here
that you're so afraid of everything?

When will they be here?

They'll be here soon. Don't hurry.

I'm in a hurry to tell them that
their agent ditched the court's order.

What's the sentence for unsealing?

It would be even worse
if you're a governmental agent.

Firstly, I'm not a governmental agent.
I'm a private one.

Plus, I didn't unseal the place.

You did.

Because you came here to steal.

Not me. I work here.

There's no sign of the seal.

You are the one guarding this place
for the past few years.

You are the one who needs to explain
what happened to the seal.

You're the one who needs to explain
why you hit me with the stun g*n

when I said you were
hiding something important.

I'll tell them everything.

Now you'll tell the cops that

you came to steal stuff.

Okay?

Do you feel better?

That guy...

Kian.

- Where's he?
- Who's Kian?

The guard.

Do you remember hitting
your head somewhere?

No.

Why?

You never came back yesterday
after you left to collect information.

They called from the police station
and said that you were arrested for theft.

Abad and I went and got
the consent of the guard.

I suppose he must be the Kian guy
you're talking about.

We told him that our guy
was addicted to pills.

You looked like a junkie, too.
Did you actually take something?

No.

Nothing.

What was it then, bro?

You went to solve our mystery
yet you got us into more trouble?

- How so?
- What happened yesterday?

You came home and you did whatever
we asked you to do right away.

Are you on drugs?

Is that why you're thin?

I went to get some information.

The guy caught me.

He blew something

like dust

on me.

I don't remember anything from then on.

You shameless creature.

No one leaves their sister
out there to get high.

How did you find her?

She went to the cops once
she saw them take you.

They took her to the police station

and get our information from her.
She has a big mouth for her age.

Give me a couple of days

and I'll make things right.

Let's not make
an administrative process out of it.

Tell us what was going on there.
What did you see? What didn't you see?

There is something going on.

A lot actually.

I went up there and saw

the court's seal

was opened.

But I'm sure the guard

went there way before us.

I have no doubt.

But the guy himself is a cop.

Why should he steal something?

No, he's not a cop.

He's just a simple guard.

What's up with the dust
you said he threw at your face?

Where's Leila?

- In the yard. She's on the hammock.
- Why are you changing the subject?

I said what's up with the dust?

Did I say dust?

No. Abad said it.

You said it.

I said he threw something
like soil at my face.

Then he hit me on the head with something.

You didn't say that, Nouri.

I was hit on the head by something heavy

and I don't remember anything

from the past right now.

I was about to lose my life

yet you guys

are interrogating me now

instead of thanking me?

You seem to be a master of ruckus.

Come and have some food.

Are you okay?

I'm sorry to leave you alone.

I apologize.

I was stuck in a room.

Are you a thief?

Who said that?

Them?

I'm talking to you, Leila.

I said who told you that?

- Huh?
- Mr. Afshin.

Who is Mr. Afshin?

He's the owner of the shop where
I was waiting for you to come back.

If I were a thief,

would they let me go?

Mr. Afshin told me
"If your brother wasn't a thief,"

"The cops wouldn't arrest him"

He was wrong.

I'm gonna ask you a question.

I want you to answer me properly.

What is it?

This Afshin guy.

Did he make you uncomfortable?

No, not at all. He gave me an ice cream.

Did you go anywhere with him?

Did he touch you?

What happened?

He gave you ice cream for no reason?

- Yeah.
- Is that all?

Yeah.

After that, a man came to me and said

"What are you doing here?"

"Where are your parents?"
and I said, "They're dead."

Did Mr. Afshin ask these questions?

No. Another man came

and caressed my hair

and then he told me
"Do you want me to take you to the police?"

Then I screamed and Mr. Afshin

pushed him and then they started to fight.

Did Afshin beat him?

After that, he took me to the shop

and said "Sit here until
your brother comes back."

When we get there, we'll say together
with all our energy. Okay?

Just be careful not to let go
of each other's hands when we get there.

- Okay? Thanks.
- Hello, Uncle!

Look after them, Payam.

Hello. How are you, little bird?

- I missed you.
- You're so cute.

I missed you, too.
Do you want to join the kids?

Go to them. You're the best.

Hello. How are you?

My name is Afshin.

You were wrong to tell her
that her brother was a thief.

Did I say that?

Yeah. Leila told me that
you said her brother was a thief.

Never.

She asked me

"Why are the cops taking my brother?
Is he a thief?"

I said "That's not how you
talk about your brother."

"The police may take anyone.
It doesn't mean they are thieves."

Then I saw them taking you

and I thought I should take her
to the cops, too. Was that wrong?

How much is it?

How much is what?

The price of the ice cream you gave Leila.

The money you paid to put her on the boat.

Are you trying to embarrass me?

What are you talking about?
Leila is like the other kids to me.

No. I don't want to disturb you anymore.

Okay. If it makes you feel better.

- Okay.
- Yes, it makes me feel better.

Two thousand Tomans.

Plus, nobody leaves a child like that.

Number 31

to the booth number 3.

Hello.

How can I help you?

I was thinking about how it is possible
for someone not to go anywhere.

- Who are you talking about?
- The guard.

It is possible.

He didn't move the whole day.

He sat behind his desk all day.

What are we going to do then?

Do you plan to go there every day
and watch him do nothing?

Will you find out anything that way?

What do you suggest I should do?

If you know a better way, I'll do it.

If you want, I can stay home from tomorrow

and you can do the rest.

Hello.

I came to apologize for the other day.
I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Can I ask for a favor?

Can Leila stay here and play
with the kids until I get back?

Okay.

Thanks.

What the hell are you doing here?

Put down. Put them down.

Put them down!

Empty your pockets, too.

Empty them.

Look. I neither have the patience
nor the time.

I'm gonna count quickly.

Three.

Two.

Give it to me.

Drop the cigarette. Drop the cigarette.

What is it called?

- What is the powder called?
- I don't know.

You don't know yet you go take
billions out of the bank with it?

You don't know yet you do know
what to do with it?

Have you been stalking me?

I saw you yesterday.

You wrote a check.

An overdraft.

You poured some of this powder on it.

You went to the bank.

What did you do to the employee?
What did she do for you?

Did she cash the check?

I withdraw it from my personal account.

Should a guard like you

in your position have
so much money in his account?

Yeah, I have a lot of money in my account.

Look.

I know everything about you.

I know you pay the kids
on your block monthly.

The kids from an orphanage.

Do you pay them from your personal account

or do you steal from banks and pay them?

Do the orphanages know

that you steal from others to pay them?

Look. I don't look like it.

I look normal.

But I just don't look like it.

I have a fire in me.

A monster lies in me.

That's why to this age,

I have burnt a few places down

and stepped on a few bodies.

So you better know that
I can k*ll you in a way that

nobody would ever find out about it.

I will spend the same
amount of time I spent on you

on finding it

and I will find it sooner or later.

The difference is that
if you tell me now, you'll live.

If not, the fish will be snacking
on your corpse in the pond.

Where did you find it?

I inherited it.

You inherited it?

Did you inherit it from your late father?

Is it this much or is there a full cellar?

It's just this much.

Where's the safe?

There's no safe here.

Search everywhere.

There's no safe?

A content person like you

is even satisfied with
the dust around the place.

When no one's here, you go
to the safe and open it carefully.

Then you fill your salt shaker and get out.

That's the routine. Isn't it?

I told you there's no safe.
Search the whole place.

What is in my right hand?

What is in my left hand?

I don't need to use this.

This is a toy.

Without making any noise.

Without spilling blood.

I only need to blow it at you.

Then you'll confess to everything.

Just like you told me to confess
to being a thief the other day.

There's just a slight difference
between us.

Only god knows what you're

going you confess to.

You're gonna tell me
the code to the safe first

and then

other stuff.

You don't need to do that.

I'll tell you whatever you wanna know.

What is this powder called?

It's not powder. It's a drug.

It's a drug?

Do you think you're talking to a child?

Drugs can't do that to people.

You are a child. Otherwise, you wouldn't
say drugs can't do that to people.

There's a type of plant in Colombia

which is called Devil's Breath.

The local people don't even let their
kids play in the vicinity of the plant

as the dust from the plant is
in the air and will influence them.

It's somewhat of a drug.

It makes people lose control.

They will do almost whatever they're told

after being influenced by it.

Thai people grow the seeds of this plant

and mix it with something else
which makes this drug.

With what?

A type of American venomous frog.

When the local people addicted to drugs

want to get high,

they lick the skin on the back side of it.

Or they k*ll it,

dry its skin and then
smoke it like a cigarette.

A small amount of the frog's venom

mixed with the flower

makes this b*stard.

What's it called?

The frog.

It does the same thing to people.

Just a bit more severe.

The standard consumption of it

can make people really stoned.

An overdose

will destroy the cartilages
and make people look like zombies.

Why did they import this much narcotics?

For the money.

To sell and receive Dollars for it.

How's that possible?

Hasn't this place

ever been investigated?

I know a thing or two.

You don't look like it.

The day before the investigation,

I moved the drugs to the company's truck.

After the investigation
was finished the next day,

I returned them one by one to the safe.

Are you crazy or something?

You took them and then you returned them?

I didn't know a safer place.

What's the code?

What's the code?

- Where's the safe?
- Fifty-fifty.

Why?

Because it's mine, too.

I say who gets what.

You can influence me
with the drug right now

and ask me to do what you want.

Otherwise, it's not gonna happen.

Oh? Yeah.

I assure you I will follow you all my life.

I may not be able to get to you
but I will cause you trouble.

Are you threatening me?

Exactly.

Give me my share

and no one will ever know about it.

Because if anyone finds out about it,
it will be troublesome for both of us.

Unless I influence you

and k*ll you after using your information.

You don't look like such a person.

You're too young to do this stuff.

Why are you trying to add to your enemies?

I know a lot of cops.
I can be helpful later.

Give me my share and
we will go our separate ways.







No more discussion.

I won't take anything less than 30.

Where's the safe?

Sir? Hey!

Why did you leave your boat here?
You should have left it there.

Let me grab my sister first

and then I'll put it back where I took it.

Where is your sister?

Right here.

Did you leave her with that jerk, Afshin?

Who is Afshin?

The one you left your sister with.

He is not a good guy.

He takes advantage of children

in the name of boat riding and ice cream.

Don't tell them I told you this.

He'll break my arms
and legs if he finds out.

Leila?

I didn't expect that.

This is the worst sentence you
can say after being betrayed.

It means you weren't careful enough.

It means there's always
someone smarter than you.

It means you trusted.

You trust when you're sure

there's no problem that needs to be solved.

But exactly when you
find out you have been tricked,

you'll start thinking
about solving the puzzle.

But it would be too late.

The puzzle is already solved.

Solving it is just
more painful than before.

Painful.

Because you always say to yourself

what did he have that I didn't?

What did he think about that I didn't?

How does he manage
to do the things I can't do?

The answer is one word.

Intelligence.
