[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]

If they don't arrive in ten minutes,
we'll leave, too.

Take your money back and leave, ma'am.

I don't want your money anymore.

The guy says they can't wait any longer.

I figure it's because the sun is up

and they're afraid
the coast guard may find them.

Why is this bottle opened?
Shouldn't it be sealed?

It is, sir. I just bought it.

Who cares who unsealed the bottle?

Drink it.

Pray to stay alive after
drinking from the bottle.

Because otherwise, everyone will
have to take a sip from the bottle.

We'll take the ship I arranged.

Why?

[Islamic Republic Of Iran]
[Passport]

Why didn't you say you got it?

What did you do in two weeks that I feel
like I've known you for the past ten years?

They don't sh**t people in the head
from this close even in wars.

The captain says we weren't
supposed to have g*ns aboard.

He says he'll turn the engine off
and he won't move.

I don't know why my ears are ringing.

I never make mistakes.

You did put something in that bottle.

Why did you drink from it then?

Because you saw Omid drank from it
and nothing happened to him?

You're too dumb to understand
not everything kills you on the spot.

I understand why you k*lled Soroush.

I'll understand if you k*ll
everyone around you.

Why did you k*ll my mother, though?

Who told you I k*lled our mother?

Not our mother.

- My mother.
- She asked me to do so.

Your mother suffered
from a malignant cancer.

Tell Shams his love is worth
even more than this.

He said he'd rather you
understand him than love him.

[Episode 15]
[The Frog]

Come on.

Let go.

In position.

- Come on.
- Mohammad?

Pass. Pass. Pass. Send it up.

- Come on.
- Get forward. I got you.

Hey.

Get it. Get it.

Give it to me.

Hell is a place where the people

think about the fire being put out,
not to put it out themselves.

I'm the only person in this damn place

who thinks about gaining not losing.

Come on. Come on.

I'll gain it because I need it.

I'll get it this time.

I want it because I deserve to gain it.

Come on, mate.

What's the matter?

What's wrong?

What is it?

It's a person.

It's a person!

Call an ambulance!

Push the timber.

Oh!

Faster.

Are you okay, sir?

Do you feel better?

- Give him water.
- Here.

Do you need anything?

Sir?

Do you have a phone?

Give me a phone.

Here, bro.

Let him get some air.

Come on.

Come in. Make yourself comfortable.

- Faranak?
- What?

Thanks.

For what?

For everything.

For picking me up.

I'm used to it. You call me
whenever you're in trouble.

I only remembered your number.

It's a good thing you
remembered something about me.

I remember many things about you.

There are some stuff
in the fridge if you get hungry.

You can do whatever you want
just don't go to my room.

- I'm going out.
- Where are you going?

To the lab.

Didn't you say you resigned?

I'm gonna beg them

to see if they let me take my job back.

I won't stay for long. I'll go home.

Stay. I'll make something for dinner.

They were k*lled in front of me.

I hid myself in the boat.

The rest of them were in such
a hurry that they forgot about me.

I was lucky. Otherwise, my body
would have ended up beside them.

Ten people were k*lled
in less than two weeks.

All in front of me.

I was either guilty or connected to them.

How can I sit at a dinner table?

I don't know why I don't learn my lesson.

Why can't I let it go?

Anyone else in my position

would let the garbage go.

I don't know why I can't.

Because you love yourself.

You only see yourself.

No. Because I pity myself.

Because it was the only thing
that could make my dreams come true.

I feel everything has come together
for me to survive.

I'm bound to live and suffer.

I sometimes sit in front of the mirror
and stare at myself

as if I want to take back
whatever I took from myself.

Because every time I review my miseries,
they break my heart again.

Oh! Poor you.

All this nagging

only for dinner?

Leave then. Don't come back.

Just remember to close the door behind you.

And if you decide to come back,
don't come through the lobby.

The guard will get triggered.

You seem to know all the nooks and
crannies in the building so you'll be fine.

What if I went out, got stuck

was wanted,

got hungry and wanted dinner?

Try not to become wanted
and if you did, don't come here.

And even if you do come,
I'll deny everything.

If you get hungry, eat out.

I won't be in the mood
to cook when I get back.

Hello? Raheleh?

It's Ramin.

Listen to me carefully.

I want my stuff.

What do you mean by "What stuff"?

What the hell are you talking about?

Is anyone else listening?

Okay then. I want the money.

Where is it?

Is it safe?

We're at the address, sir.

Ramin?

Welcome, sweetheart.

Come in. Come in.

You came to a hotel with my money?

Are you mad? Is this a hotel?

- What is it then?
- We live here.

Whose apartment is it?

Let's go. I'll tell you.

I'm not going upstairs.

Don't be scared. No one knows this place.

Whose apartment is it then?

Let's go upstairs. I'll tell you.

Do you live here?

Oh! Bro.

God knows how much I've missed you.

I was saying to myself you went
to get him but you didn't come back.

It turns out your brother
is mesmerized by the lobby.

I swear to god, the first time
I came here, I was amazed.

It looks exactly like
the hotels in Pattaya.

There's a pool downstairs, too.

- Where's my money?
- I have it, bro.

- Give it to me.
- Let's go. I'll give it to you.

- Right now.
- Lower your voice.

I said your money is upstairs.
Let's get up there and I'll give it to you.

I'm not going upstairs. I'll wait here.

If you come empty-handed, I'll tear
this place down on your head.

No. Don't threaten me. I get offended
when you threaten me.

- Where's my money, Raheleh?
- I said I have it, bro.

Let's go upstairs and have a chat

to discuss the payment terms.

I trusted you.

What's wrong with that?
I took it from her.

I was afraid she wouldn't be
able to look after it properly.

You buzzard.

I didn't even have the money
to pay the cab driver.

Yet you took my money
from my sister to live downtown?

What's wrong with that, mate?

We spent all these years on
a carpet at your father's house,

now we'll live in a tower
for a while at least.

What's wrong with that? We can't...

My sister and her husband
took all my money.

Don't laugh.

I didn't.

They spent it on renting an apartment
in a hotel-like building downtown.

Chelodar froze my account, too.

Who is Chelodar?

My husband. The one who cheated
on me with that young broad.

Is his surname Chelodar really?

Your surname isn't much better.

If he has the Chelo [cooked rice]
then who has the butter?

You're such an idiot.

Ramin?

My mom.

Aw.

Ramin?

Ramin?

Ramin?

What is it?

Marry me.

If you want to continue, Faranak,
I'll sleep in the park.

Why don't you ever listen to me?

I need to talk to you.

There's no tomorrow. Is there?

I'm listening.

- I love you.
- You don't.

- I do.
- You just want a husband.

You want to have a family with someone

so that the people around you
wouldn't say "She failed".

No matter if it's me or another idiot.

- Pig.
- I'm a pig.

What do you need a pig husband for, Doctor?

You're so unattractive.

I'm unattractive.

What do you need an unattractive
husband for, Doctor?

You're sad because of the girl. Aren't you?

What girl?

The beautiful young girl.

Leila.

You're sad because she's dead.
You loved her. Didn't you?

Why do all relationships
look the same to you?

People should either love or hate someone.

There are some other
kinds of relationships, Faranak.

Like what?

Like being friends.

People can be important to you

- without being in love with them.
- Like?

Like you.

- Are you in love with me?
- Do you even understand what I'm saying?

Are you a moron or are you acting like one?
Of course, I'm not.

But your future is important to me.

You're my friend and you're so kind, too.

Would you let me sleep now?

Shut it.

Faranak?

Why are you doing this?

What did I do?

You sleep.

Did you turn the music up on purpose?

It's not loud.

Turn it off, Faranak.

Stop messing around. Let me sleep.

The weed plants need
to listen to music before sleep.

Otherwise, they won't grow.

Are you going to pay
for the damage if they die?

Okay. Sleep. Sleep. I'll turn it off.

Faranak?

We need to go somewhere.

What you smoked was music-treated.
It hits you higher than normal.

I'm fine.

You're fine yet you're taking
us to god knows where at 4 a.m?

Where are we going? Why don't you talk?

We need to check out Nouri's greenhouse.

I think he left something behind.

It's abandoned.

I'm sure I saw it.

I'm sure it was here.

What did you see?

He used to grow it here.

It was a plant.
A strange plant like a frog.

He used to play music
for them just like you do.

And you're telling me this now?

When you turned the music up,
I remembered he used to do it, too.

I got distracted.

I didn't realize it.

Everything happened so quickly.

How come you didn't realize it
right when you saw it?

They were all dead except for one.

I never thought he would
grow it under our nose.

I passed by it yet I didn't realize it.

All I could think of was the stamp.

The problem is that we're
a few years behind him.

Where we are right now

is what he thought of a few years ago.

Everyone was after the ton of drugs.

And he was growing it.

If he could grow it,

we can, too.

We need to find the seed.

I doubt there is any in Iran.

I remember they said that the drug
was taken to Thailand from Colombia

and turned to The Frog there.

[Forty days later.]

I heard you were about to have a child.

It wasn't meant for me.

What do you mean?

The baby only stayed
alive for seven months.

Oh! I'm so sorry to hear that.

No. It's okay. We're past that now.

Come in. Come in.

- Welcome. Hello.

Come in. Welcome.

Oh!

The woman keeps talking.

Let's go upstairs.

Come on.

I'm sorry. It's just a bit narrow here.

She says, "Let me take your luggage"

It's okay. This room?

Come on, mate. Let's take a seat.

Come on.

I'm sorry but

we didn't have the time to clean up

and it's a bit messy here
but I'll sort it out quickly.

Here, mate. Take a seat.

What can I get you?

Coffee? Tea?

Fruit? Tell me whatever you want.

Can I smoke here?

Of course, mate.

Here you are.

It's a bit hot here today.

Is there a worse neighborhood in Bangkok?

I'm sorry, mate.

This is what we can afford.

I'm not here for a vacation.
I'm here looking for something.

What I want can be found in the slums.

What are you looking for?

Drugs.

There's someone down the alley
who sells everything in his booth.

What do you smoke?

I don't do drugs.

The booth guy wouldn't
know about what I want.

How do you know?

You started it off too soon, Ramin.

- You could have let us settle in first.
- We're not here to go skinny-dipping.

We're here to cut deals
and we'll go back after that.

We're looking for
seeds of a plant, Ardeshir.

He says it's about drugs
and you say it's a plant?

Opium comes from a plant.
Mushrooms are plants.

Cannabis is a plant.
Hashish is a plant.

This one's also a plant

which is called The Frog.

- I thought you worked at a lab.
- Faranak is still a doctor

and she still works at a lab.

If she's here, it's for her friend. I'm the
one who wants the plant. Not anyone else.

Can you help me or what?

Because Faranak told me you know
the whole city like the back of your hand.

Otherwise, we wouldn't take your time.

We're not looking for trouble either.

I just need you to show me
where they sell the plant.

I'll pay you ten thousand Dollars.

Floy?

Okay.

Look. I already have
enough open cases here.

We'll be out if the police get involved.

I thought you only worked
around tourism here.

Give me five thousand right now
so that I can pay the landlord.

Pay the other five thousand
after you find the plant.

Don't look at them. They don't like it.

Do you have a photo of it?

I think it would be better
if we stick to each other.

Get down.

Wouldn't it be better
if we stayed in the car?

No, it wouldn't.

Looking for something special?

Sorry, we cannot speak English very well.

Either speak Italian or leave.

We're looking for a drug called The Frog.

We were told you could find it.

He doesn't have the plant but
he has the actual frog if you want.

Why would I want the actual frog?

What is the thing you're talking about?

It's a type of American frog

which you can either lick its back

or you can k*ll it

to dry and smoke its skin.

I want the plant.

We want the plant.

He says finding it is very difficult.

He'd like to know why you want it.

He says these people act like
that because of an overdose.

They call them Zombies here.

They look like mentally ill people.

They took it so much that
their cartilages were destroyed

and that's why they walk like that.

He says, do you want to buy it
to enjoy it or to destroy your body?

Nothing. I want to grow the seeds.

He says finding it would be difficult
and if found, they'll be very expensive.

The money is not important.

Two hundred thousand Dollars?
It's too expensive.

It is.

It must be cheap. What he's talking about

is either fake or he's lying.

Two hundred thousand Dollars for a seed?

- What type of drug is this?
- Tell him I want it.

This money is all I have.
Do you know what you're doing?

This guy's so suspicious.

You'll get a hundred times
the money, Faranak.

Let me focus to avoid making mistakes.

He says he wants all
the money in cash right now.

Tell him I don't want it anymore.

Imply as if I changed my mind. Tell
him I'll get it from somewhere else.

He says you won't be able to find it
anywhere else in Thailand. Rest assured.

He's full of crap.

It's too obvious. You're making a mistake.
Let go.

What did he say?

He says these are my terms.
You can counter.

Here are my terms.

I want the seed to have it tested

otherwise, don't even think about it.

Okay.

These people are not reliable, Faranak.

How do you plan to tell
if it's the right seed?

Have you seen it?

What if he gives you beansprouts?

What if he gives you opium seeds?

Then you'll screw all my
dear money up for nothing.

I want the plant itself, too then.

The seeds and the plant itself.

- Ramin?
- Tell him.

I want the seed

and the fresh plant itself.

I don't know the seed
but I know the plant well.

What's your name?

Faranak.

Faranak.

Is he your husband?

You deserve better.

Don't you wanna know
what the guy said in the end?

No, I don't.

This friend of mine
knows all about Sukhumvit.

There's a disco in Sukhumvit

which is a spot for Iranian criminals.

- As soon as you get in,
- Want me to grab the glasses?

There's a sign

that says "Iranian th*gs".

Thanks for everything.

You're welcome. He was the one who told me.

He told me the guy you went to

is one of the biggest jerks in Bangkok.

He said, "Don't be fooled by his looks."

"He's like a casino."

Cutting deals with him is a pure loss.

I was trying to tell you the same thing.

Going there was pointless.

Making such a mistake
was not expected of you.

Aren't you joining us, sir?
The food's getting cold.

What does your friend recommend now?

He recommends that we shouldn't buy
from them and we should buy from him.

What I do is ridiculous but
what the petty criminal says isn't?

He isn't a petty criminal, bro.

He's a big cheese in Bangkok.

The fact that you're his best friend
means he's a petty criminal.

By the way, stop shouting out
everywhere about what we're after.

Once Iranian residents in Bangkok
find out what we're after, it's over.

Don't you think you're being a little rude?

They don't owe us anything.

How come he didn't mention his friend

when I told him I wanted drugs
but he's interested now?

- How well do you know them anyway?
- Hush!

Do you know the boy?

He's my cousin.

He's your cousin yet you don't know
their child was aborted?

He's my second cousin.

What now?

Is that how you thank them?

The poor guy wants to help.

He doesn't want to help. He wants money.

What do you want?

Would it be any different
to you if someone else

was sitting here instead of me?

No, it wouldn't.

Anyone with money could have been
sitting here right now.

I didn't make you come here.
You wanted to come. Don't guilt trip me.

But I don't want your money anymore.

I'll figure something out.

I don't care about the money, Ramin.

I saved the money for
my mother's treatment.

When my mother died,
the money died for me, too.

Money doesn't make me happy.

But it makes you happy.

So if I say anything, it's not because
of the money. It's because of you.

I don't want myself
and my personality to get crushed.

So I won't tell you anything more.

Just know that whatever I did was for you.

If I came here

and asked for help
from my distant relatives,

If I played with my medical integrity,

I just want you to remember
that it was all for you.

Don't forget that.

What do you mean? I'll remember.
No need to remind me of it.

You gave me some money and
I'll pay you several times the money back.

I have doubts, Ramin.

My heart always used to tell me

that you only make it look like
that you don't love me.

Always.

But as the time passes,

I'm becoming afraid of the fact that
you never actually loved me at all.

I'm in doubt, Ramin.

I need you to tell me something.

I'm standing on thin ice here.

I need you to tell me you love me.

To make me feel it.

Say something, Ramin.

You're losing me.

Look at me, Ramin.

You're my friend. You have always
been a friend and you'll always remain one.

Damn jerk.

Look after my money.

If anything happens to my money,

I'll make you pay to the last dime.

Understood?

Are you sure he's not late?

He'll be here.

You're sure what you're doing. Right?

I feel like your pride has made you

unable to think properly.

I know what I'm doing.

You think that you do.

Do you know how many mistakes
you've made since we came here?

The guy is a total b*stard.

Do you know what you're doing?

I can't believe it.

We're getting ourselves k*lled so easily.

Faranak?

Come forward.

Closer.

What the hell is he saying?

- He says where's the money?
- Was that all?

He's been whispering
in your ear for minutes.

Where's the money?

The money's here.

Tell him he needs to show
the plant and the seed.

You're such a beautiful girl.

But I cannot do anything for you.

What are you doing?

Tell him where the money is.

The plant first and then the money.

He's such a b*stard.

He's not joking around.
Tell him where the money is.

Never.

Tell him.

Tell him I won't show him
the money even if he kills us all.

I said tell him where the money is, psycho!

Why don't you tell him where it is, Ramin?

- One!
- He's counting.

Ramin?

- Two!
- Ramin?

Look what you did, you animal!

Why don't you tell him where it is?

One, two,

It's up there.

I saw him putting it up there.

Go get it.

Goodbye.

Faranak?

Come on!

b*stard!

Ardeshir?

Get out of the way, animal!

Everyone's looking at us.

What if they call the police?

No, this is normal to them.

The US's severe sanctions against Iran...

Where did you go alone?

I got worried.

Faranak?

In the room.

- Is she okay?
- Yeah. She's fine.

As I was coming back here, I was hoping

you'd be conscious so that
I could talk to you more easily.

I'm in love with you.

I have always been.

You're the biggest mistake I ever made.

I cried for you so many nights.

I was sad all the time.

I thought a lot.

I made a deal with myself
not to get close to you ever.

Because you're the one I can
count as a weakness in my life.

Since I found out you love me,
everything got even worse.

Because then I either had to resist
you finding out about my feelings for you,

or I had to do things that
would make you feel I don't like you.

Yeah, I love you.

I should have told you sooner.

It's a good thing you never said it.

If I knew you loved me,

I wouldn't hesitate for a moment.

I would never have found out
what a b*stard you are.

It's a good thing you
didn't come into my life.

Because this was the point
I got to know the real you.

The same exact point we're standing on.

Exactly where you allowed me
to take a b*llet just to gain power.

Our relationship is shaped
at this exact point.

It is shaped

and then it ends.

I gave you whatever I had

to go after your childish game.

But you went back to your dirty instinct.

Dear Ramin?

I neither want my money back from you,

nor your apology,

nor my crippled leg.

I just want you to seriously
get out of my life.

Your intelligence is scary.

It scares me more than anything else.

Don't show up around me.

Neither as a lover,

nor as a friend,

nor as any other title.

Oh! Oh! Look at the rain.

Give me a cigarette.

How should I smoke?

If you wanna become a smoker,

let someone who is worth it make you one.

Just like me.

I made you a smoker.

Was I worth it?

With whatever I had.

Was it all worth it?

What?

I didn't say anything.

Don't be upset with Faranak.

We wouldn't have been better
had we lost all that blood, either.

I'm not upset.

You felt better as long as
you were by my side.

Because you wanted to look like me.

You don't know what to do
now that I'm not there.

Because you don't have
a role model anymore.

I don't know why when it's all silent,

I always feel like I should
light up a cigarette.

Did you ever ask him where the plant grows?

Somewhere similar to hell.

That's disgusting.

Does your friend know where the frogs live?

Yeah. But he said smugglers
have already cleared the place out.

- We won't find anything there.
- Give me your truck for tomorrow.

People don't joke around here, Ramin.

Doctors forget about their oath
for a hundred dollars.

Do you expect them not to k*ll
for two hundred thousand dollars?

I'd have to take another taxi like
tonight if you refuse to give me your car.

That money was all Faranak had.

I won't let anyone get a nosebleed.

I'll go back as soon as I get the money.

- I promise.
- Stop. Don't even talk about it.

You're in love with yourself.

You don't see anything else but you.

I'll give you another twenty thousand
dollars when we get the money.

Are you sure she's alone, bro?

They usually have bodyguards.

She doesn't have bodyguards
because she never needed one.

They'll appoint someone after today.

- Ardeshir?
- Yes?

What are you doing?

Water.

I want to take some water to the kid
to stop her from dying from thirst.

She's just a kid for god's sake.

She wouldn't make it if it rains.
She'd die.

It won't rain.

What do you mean it won't rain?

It's the wet season.
It wouldn't stop if it rains.

It wouldn't. I checked. Rest assured.

What if it does?

She'd get wet and she'd be conscious.
Nothing bad would happen to her.

Why can't we take her?

I'll put her in the back and cover her with
a piece of tarpaulin. Nobody would know.

If they see her in that condition,

they'll tear us into pieces.
They won't let us live.

Trust me.

Look. I really can't trust you.

I think you rush into decisions
so much that it's hard to trust you.

Hey.

Then you should either give my
money back and leave me to it,

or stop issuing all these theories.

We have already wasted so much time.

We'll go there. I'll talk.

We'll get the money and we'll get out.

Simple as that?

The guy is a Sicilian.
He grew up doing crap like this.

Take the money and get out?

It's about his kid.

This is such a nonsense, mate.

The guy won't pay before he sees his kid.

He will.

He has no other choice.

We'll bring him here
and he'll get his kid.

Ramin?

If the guy comes here and
sees his kid in this situation,

he'll tear us apart.

He wouldn't let us live no matter
the situation he sees his kid.

What are you saying then?

That's why I'm saying we should hurry up.

The train will leave if we
don't get there in time.

What does it have to do with the train?

We'll cross the railroad at a specific time

and they won't reach the other side.

That's the crappiest plan I've ever heard.

What if he doesn't care about his kid?

Pray it's his kid in the first place.

Who the hell are these people?

I don't know them.

Send them away.

Mister?

Mister? Your daughter!

- Your daughter!
- Stop.

Bring me the phone.

Let's get right into it.

I'm here to take my money back.
You don't have much time.

Your kid is left unconscious at a place
where I only have the address.

As the hole may be filled with water
and your kid may drown.

- Where's my child?
- Hush!

You can sh**t me

or not trust me.

But be sure that your child will die.

There's no way to negotiate it
as I don't know Italian.

Give me my money so that

I can take you to the address.

That's it.

- I'm gonna get him his kid.
- You won't take another step.

Stop and don't let us die here.

He's gonna sh**t.

He's gonna sh**t

something.

Somewhere.

He wants to scare us.

Don't be afraid.

Don't move and don't blink.

Let's follow them.

If anything happens to my daughter,

I'll turn all of Thailand
upside down to get you.

Don't let them go away by themselves.

Get ready. Go to the cars.

Indeed, ready to follow them.

You brought the kid. Didn't you?

She would die if we left her there.

You ruined everything.
They won't let us live.

Start the car. I'm watching them.

Stop them. Stop them!

Don't accelerate. You're winding them up.

I'm not staying here.

Haven't you made enough mess already?

Screw you. I'm off.

Ardeshir?

Do you know where the third world is?

It's when the trains
don't arrive or pass on time.

Had they followed us on the road,

we would either have been k*lled
on the road or crushed by the train.

We're here on time. Where's the train?

If you're alive now, you owe it to me.

My arm just got blown up.

I can't drive anymore.

You drive.

Crap.

Oh!

Is it awful?

We'll get to the house in half an hour.
Hang in there.

I'm not going back to the house.

It's not gonna stop bleeding.

It is.

Cut the crap.

I said I'm not going back to the house.

You feel awful. Don't you?

You're gonna die.

Take me to the address
your friend gave you.

Where the plant grows.

Are you insane, Ramin?

Please, Ardeshir.

First of all, you promised to take
the money back to Faranak.

Secondly,

you won't even make it there.

Take me there.

Enough making decisions with your brain.

We'll go to my house.

Take me there or I'll cut through my vein.

What is it that you're ready
to die for it in such a misery?

It's what makes people bow down to you.

He doesn't listen, Faranak.

He has a piece of glass in his hand
and says he would cut through his vein.

He's bleeding so much.

But I can't take him by force.

He's not a child.

He won't make it, Faranak.

Talk to him and convince him.

Here, Ramin. Faranak wants to talk to you.

Can you hear me, Ramin?

I'm talking to you, Ramin.

I'll put you on the speaker, Faranak.

Ramin?

You're here at last?

I missed you.

Nice, bro. It's good to have you here.

He's been messing with
my head for a whole week.

What should we do tonight, mate?

We should plan for
the three of us from now on.

Ramin?

Come here, honey. I brought you food.

Ramin?

Can you hear me?

Look at me.

It's Faranak.

Don't close your eyes.

We have our problems.

But I want you to do something for me now.

Don't die.

Listen to me and you won't die.

Do you remember when you were
stuck inside the meat transport van

and I saved you?

You thought about me and stayed alive.

I want you to think about me now again.

About our love.

Can you hear me?

I love you.

I love you, Ramin.

Come here.

Get yourself to me.

- Well done, boy.
- Nice job.

That's my boy.

Well done.

Good job, son.

Stop cheering for him.

I know who he really is.

He's such a lizard.

Lizards like you better
end up six feet under.

I can't.

You can.

Get up.

Ramin?

We're here.

It's right here.

That empty parcel.

It looks like a plowed land.

Smugglers have cleared out
every inch before us.

Let's go back, Ramin.

I swear to god I don't feel well.

You won't make it like that.

The villagers here say that
this parcel of land is cursed.

They pray every day that
the plant would stop growing.

Let's not go further, Ramin.

They don't even let their kids
play around here.

The dust may be in the air. Ramin?

I'm talking to you!

I feel like everyone's looking at me.

Just like a loser.

I lost everything.

A parcel of land.

An empty parcel of land.

Similar to my life.

An empty parcel of land
that looks more like a swamp.

It takes you down in a way
you wouldn't understand.

You fall.

You fail.

I have always been like that.

Everything goes well before the fall.

You'd think there would be a miracle.

Just like you always stay alive.

Frogs

will k*ll me this time.

In a cursed parcel of land

which looks more like a nightmare.

You feel that it's not the end.

You think there's someone
who would help you.

Because you're sure everything
is supposed to continue.

Because you think you deserve to live.

Nothing.

There's no one else.

Fear.

Fear of emptiness.

Fear of disappointment.

The truth is that

I have been dead for years.

These are all realistic fears

that existed in my mind.

And became reality today.


One moment, please, Mr. Shams Abadi.
