Hello my lady.

What's wrong?

Something going on?

- Where have you put it?
- Put what?

Liar! I know you have it.

Where have you put it?

I don't have the slightest idea!

Where have I put what?

You too want my child to die but hers to be born.

- Yeah? Yeah!
- Oh no!

- You're in this with them!
- Lady Shirin!

You work for that witch.

- I'll show you!
- Calm down. I haven't taken anything.

- Come on.
- I swear I haven't taken anything.

My wrist!
You're breaking it my lady.

- My wrist.
- You've taken my drug bottle.

- Drug bottle? What drug bottle?
- You took it.

Lady Shirin! Lady Shirin!

Lady Shirin! My wrist.

- You have my drug bottle.
- What drug bottle?

- What drug bottle?
- Stop lying.

- I have no idea what you're talking about.
- You have it.

- What drug bottle, my lady?
- Where have you put it?

- I have no idea what you're talking about.
- No?

- I don't have the slightest idea.
- You don't?

- No, I don't.
- You don't?

- Liar!
- My lady!

- You don't know where my drug bottle is?
- I have no idea.

You took it. Stop lying.

- Liar!
- Malmal.

- What's going on Malmal?
- Liar! Liar!

Lady Shirin! Lady Shirin!

- Wake up.
- I'm Akram.

It's okay my lady.

- Akram!
- Yes?

- Akram?
- Yes, my lady?

- Akram!
- It's okay. Calm down.

- Let's go to your room.
- Akram!

Watch your steps.

- What did I do?
- it's okay.

- it's okay.
- What did I do?

- it's okay my lady.
- What's wrong with me?

- Please be calm.
- What did I do Akram?

Go to sleep.

Get some rest.

- Akram?
- Yes?

- What did I do, Akram?
- You were just sleepwalking.

- Go to sleep.
- I can't.

Bring me a little of that thing.

- Right now?
- Yes, I need to sleep. Hurry up.

- Here you are.
- Hand it over.

That's enough my lady.

Leave it here.

You should get to sleep.

You'll get sick this way.

What's going on in this house?

- Hello sir.
- If you can't take care of her, you'll be dismissed in the morning.

No sir! From now on, I'll stay up
all night long and watch her.

- Was she like that during her trip as well?
- It happened only a few times.

She got worse when she heard Shahrzad was having a baby.

Keep your mouth shut.

And tell Malmal not to spread the word.

Yes sir. I know people talk.

I'll tell Malmal what you just said.

Listen.

I don't want Shirin to know that I saw what happened.

Yes sir.

Now go sit by her bed and watch her till the morning.

- Go.
- Yes sir.

- Hello. Hello.
- Hello.

Hello Farhad.

it's finally out!

Here's issue 15!

Remember you all said there
would be 12 issues maximum?

- Nice!
- Congrats.

Another good news.

For the first time, our expenditure
didn't exceed our income.

All copies of issue 14 are sold. No returns.

- Congratulations.
- Morteza, will you bring the guys some tea?

That's good news.

Let's go Farhad. We'll be late.

- Go where?
- Where's your head, mate?

- Seagull, Maryam's performance.
- Oh! You go, I'll be there.

All right, I'll go because I have to be on
backstage before the show.

I should pray she doesn't forget her lines.

Maryam and prayers! Interesting.

Some things just run in your blood.

- You're coming, aren't you?
- I am.

- You said you're two?
- Yes.

Isn't the second person the respectful lady
we had dinner with, the other night?

- The one who bothers to come here sometimes.
- Babak!

It seems that it getting serious.

I don't know.

I'm confused.

I don't want her to be scarified for my past.

Why sacrificed?

Just tell her everything straightforwardly.

it's her call.

- I've told her all that.
- Well?

That's the point.

I'm afraid it's just because you don't want to forget Shahrzad.

What are you saying, Babak?

Be honest with yourself, mate.

Not all lives are the same.

Yours is a different type.

Roya kind of belongs to another world.

The way she talks, the way she
gets angry and everything.

But there's a beautiful simplicity in her
which you seem to have fallen for.

I don't know where I'm standing.

Don't worry.
Just take the risk.

How many times do you think were supposed to live?
You can't calculate everything.

And to whom you're telling this!

Calculating!

You're right.

But it's not that bad to calculate things sometimes.

- Don't be late Farhad.
- I won't.

My father and stepmother don't let me come here.

They say you live like gypsies.

They are afraid I end up becoming an actress.

But I, like a seagull that is drawn to the sea,

�am attracted to this place.

My heart is full of your love.

Do not worry. We are alone.

I think that someone is here.

- Babak, Babak.
- There's nobody.

Wasn't Farhad supposed to watch the play

with that lady, M. Roya tonight?

Something must've come up.

Forget them. Just watch the play.

Mina.

I love you.

Yes?

Hello mother.

Don't worry.
I told you I'd be late tonight because of the play.

No, I didn't go.

I was a little busy here.

Yes.

I'm about to leave.

Sure mother.

Sure. Goodbye.

Yes?

Someone just asked me to give you this letter.

Who?

It was the lady who brought her poems
here the other day, if I'm not mistaken.

She's here now?

She was in a hurry. She left.

- Goodbye Fatemeh.
- Bye.

- Please come visit us again.
- Goodbye.

- Say hi to everyone.
- Thanks for everything.

- Thank you.
- Thanks.

In winter, your warmth keeps me warm,

In spring, I am delighted by your voice,

My heart keeps the warm season warm,

I'm a leaf dying in autumn because of you,

Working is enough.

You want to get weaker than that?

But I just ate so much right in front of you, mother.

I don't buy that.

- I've brought you stuff to eat.
- I can't eat them right now.

Cut it out.
You should get this big by Friday night.

- What's happening on Friday night?
- Never mind.

You, your dad and I are going

to Haj Ziaee's place on Friday night.

His daughter Mansoureh is such a pretty girl.

- Say nothing. it's just as I say.
- But there's a problem here, mother.

- Of course, it's not serious yet, but?
- Why don't you just say it, son?

There's a lady I need to introduce
to you one of these days.

I'm just not sure yet.

Oh, my darling!

Why didn't you let me know sooner?

Who's this mysterious girl anyway?

You're saying mysterious!

So, I'll let you know at the right time.

But you know,

Her name is Roya.
She's poet and she's nice to me.

I don't know much about her yet.

And we haven't yet talked about this thing seriously.

Excuse me! Not that I wanted to eavesdrop!

But I couldn't help hearing you.

And I'm overjoyed right now.
I promise I won't tell anyone anything.

What were you doing behind the door?

- Dad wants you.
- I'm fed up with your dad!

- I can't leave him even for a moment.
- Mother.

Will you tell dad?

But you didn't tell me anything, son.

I'll tell him what you just said anyway.

By the way, what about Friday night?

You have this one already.
You should see the other one too.

Then you can choose the better one.

- And if you're doubtful, I'll roll up sleeves for you myself.
- Father is waiting for you.

He's got nothing to do with me.
He's just going to say Marzi?

?
- What's funny? Let's go.
- You go. I'll be right with you.

- Brother, I want to say something.
- Go ahead.

- Mom doesn't know yet.
- What is it?

There's a girl in our tailoring class.
Her name is Minoo.

She�s so pretty.

She�s so good at making skirt patterns.

So?

I'm just saying she's another option.

And she's so much better than the other two.

Have you ever met Roya at all?

No. But I can feel that.

And I feel that if I ever wanted to have a skirt

- I'll ask you to let her know.
- I'm serious brother.

I'm serious too. Get out.

What nerve!

- In winter, your warmth keeps me warm,
- In winter, your warmth keeps me warm,

- In spring, I am delighted by your voice,
- In spring, I am delighted by your voice,

- My heart keeps the warm season warm,
- My heart keeps the warm season warm,

- I'm a leaf dying in autumn because of you,
- I'm a leaf dying in autumn because of you,

Wish there was a fifth season,

The season of our closure,

Wish all autumn leaves,

Red, yellow chanting,

This beautiful song,

Stay?

- Spit it out little bugger.
- Uncle please!

Uncle, I swear I haven't done anything today.

Like I'm gonna fall for that!

- What have you spent the money on?
- Uncle, I swear!

Leave my kid alone.

Shut up!
I'm fed up with this boy.

- I'll teach him a lesson. Back off!
- Mother, please!

- Don't make me pull your tongue out.
- Gholam!

- What have you done with the money?
- I swear on mother's soul!

You lift a hand against my child and I'll burn you.

He needs to learn his lesson.
He can't come home empty-handed.

Leave my child alone, you jerk!

- My hand! Neighbors, you are my witnesses.
- Shut up already.

- All the neighbors know you.
- She k*lled her brother.

- Damn you.
- I'm bleeding.

I've had it with you.

Damn you, man.
Look what you did to my child's hand.

Sit down here son.
I'll find something for you.

Oh God! I'll rub some ointment on it.

It'll ease your pain.

- Why was he shouting anyway?
- I can't move my hand.

He was blaming me for not working this afternoon.

- I had no customers.
- No problem son.

You hurt my hand. I can't move it.

- I'm afraid I get disabled.
- Don't make a fuss.

You deserve much worse after
what you did to my child's hand.

You've been getting an attitude lately!

I'm somebody in this city.

And now a stupid woman puts a needle in my hand.

My hand! I really can't move it.

You have no mettle!

If you did, you wouldn't take the money this
boy makes out of waxing people's shoes.

You rip me off enough already.
At least leave this kid alone.

If you hurt him this time,

- I swear I'll break your hands.
- Look what you've done.

- You look what you did to my child's hand.
- What kind of sister are you?

You're even worse than a stepmother.

You and your sharp tongue!

My hand! Oh God, my hand!

- It hurts.
- I know son. But it'll ease your pain.

Your dress is amazing Ms. Shirin.

it's as beautiful as the latest styles I've seen in Paris.

Even better.

Well, I'm ready to hear about your decision.

I'm so nervous.

But even if you let me down, I'm still happy.

You know why?

Meeting you was a miracle for me.

It was something like a rebirth.

Well!

Why would I lie?

I?

How can I put it?

I'm not going to let you down.

- Do you agree?
- Aha.

Seriously?

- You mean you will join hands with me?
- Yes.

Believe me, this is the best news I've heard
during the last couple of years.

Good.
So, you've heard more good news.

To be honest, only once.

And�

When was that?

It was a rainy day in London.

Near River Thames.

- When Christine said yes to my love proposal.
- How beautiful!

However, six months later

- she died in a car crash.
- I'm really sorry.

As the Irish would say, love is short, life is long.

it's terrible!

Look MS, Shirin! I'd like to assure you that

I will not disappoint you.

You and I will open the biggest and the most stylish

fashion store for ladies.

Even more luxurious than Harrods in London.

More stylish than Galleries Lafayette in Paris.

- I hope so, fingers crossed.
- Have no doubt.

- You're not going to eat?
- I am.

Mr. Ahadi.

- Hello ma'am.
- Hello.

Shirin honey.

- Yes dad?
- Come in. I need to talk to you.

- Hello dad.
- Hello darling.

Come in.

Have a seat.

You didn't come for dinner.

Yes. I told Malmal to let you know I was
going to meet my high school friends.

- She didn't tell you?
- She did.

Tonight, is already gone.

But from now on

I want you to be home for dinner wherever you go.

There's no pleasure in eating without you.

You could eat with Ghobad, dad.

What a contrast!

I know there's a big contrast between
a barren daughter and a cute successor.

it's quite unlike you to be sarcastic, my girl.

I'm not being sarcastic dad.

You always take everything into consideration.

After all, you need someone from your own blood,

to keep the name of Divansalar.

Ghobad knows that.
That's why he's been striking an attitude for me.

He goes to the other place every night
saying that you gave him the permission.

Besides

Do you ever feel his presence when he's around?

I don't, dad.

You don't know.

I'm a woman and I understand these things.

When he sighs!

When he keeps silent and stares at a place.

I know He's thinking of that wicked woman.

Sorry dad.
I shouldn't have said these things.

I should never say these things.

Well, if it eases your pain,

it's fine.

it's too late dad.

Now I'm the pain itself.

Unless�

Unless what?

- Unless I get a divorce.
- What?

There are a lot of decent people out there

- who want me.
- I sees.

I see.

So, there are others!

No dad.

Nobody has said anything.

Nobody would dare say anything now.

But well!

There are other people.

I can understand, you know.

Besides, I've decided to partner up with someone.

We're going to open a big store in Lalezar.

Like foreign department stores.

I see. I see.

Who is this partner of yours anyway?

He used to be a medical student in London.

He's well-off and belongs to a noble family.

He offered me the partnership and I said yes.

You've seen him in ceremonies.

I've considered everything.

I've even gone to Lalezar and gauged the situation.

Tell him he must talk to me first.

Why dad?
He's going to be my business partner not yours.

How come that girl could study

and become somebody but I couldn't?

I want to start a business dad.
I'm no child.

I'll build a great reputation in Tehran.

I'll divorce Ghobad and leave him.

I'll let you know when it's time for settling accounts.

You said he's studied abroad?

Yes dad, he's studied in London.

- Ghobad?
- Hello! How are you?

Did I wake you up? I'm so sorry.

- Get back to sleep.
- Wait.

- Why did you come here at this hour?
- You know?

I couldn't wait till the morning.

I'll open the door for you.

- Get back to sleep.
- Come on in.

- What are you doing darling?
- Here, drink up.

Thank you.

You look like the Phantom of the Opera.

I look like who?

it's a character in an old French novel.

You're teaching literature at midnight, doctor?

- May I doctor?
- Stop teasing me Ghobad.

You asked and I answered.

But seriously, I have a question.

I need to know that

is there any potion you could prescribe for?

- this Ghost of the Opera?
- Phantom.

I miss my wife and child too much.

There is something.

There's a potion made from nightingale tears

tree dews and snake venom.

Forget the snake venom!

That's what you need as a cure!

You tricky you!

Tell me, what's going on?

it's over.

- What do you mean?
- I mean it's over.

I heard Shirin telling Mr. Bozorg
that she wants a divorce.

Why so unexpectedly?

God's will!

He can do anything to help two
lovers get to each other.

Is it serious?

Yeah, it's serious.
And it's for her own good.

She's my cousin after all.

I can't see her suffer.

I don't want her.

If she gets a divorce, she may find someone else

and settles down.

These are good words.
Very sympathetic.

- But!
- But what?

I'm not very optimistic.

Mr. Bozorg agrees. Shirin agrees.

And I agree as well.

So?

it's already done.

Let's see about it.

Don't count your chickens before they hatch.

Okay, I'll wait till they hatch.

Are you sleepy?

A little.

Before I go,

- Will you tell me a story?
- You crazy!

Yeah.

I've got so addicted to this Arabian Nights
stories and this storyteller.

All right.

Once upon a time?

What are you looking at?

Can't you see?

What is Ghobad doing here at this hour?

I don't know.

I had so many nightmares

that I got thirsty.

Jamshid, you think Shahrzad is happy?

Of course.

They're living their lives.

What kind of life is this?
The husband and wife see each other at midnight.

What kind of married life is this?

Things that you say, woman!

You're questioning me at midnight?

What do you think happiness is?

They're happy.

But your eyes say something else.

Yes.

My eyes say that I need to get back to
sleep and keep having my nightmares.

Hello sir.

Well, I'm listening.

What should I say uncle?

Answer him.
Just be wise.

To be honest, that was so unexpected.

it's a little hard to deal with.

Shirin and I have grown up together.

My heart wants something else.

And Shirin's happiness

is somewhere else apparently.

If it's really for her own good,

how can I disagree?

I'm glad you want what's best for your wife.

You jerk!
Shirin is your wife.

How could you let your wife?
feel affection for someone else?

Sometimes, I doubt that you have
my blood in your veins.

If my brother's wife wasn't a virtuous woman,
I would seriously doubt that.

How can a Divansalar be so nerveless?

How can he let his wife go as simple as that?

One madder Shah Abbasi.

- Okay.
- Two turquoise Toranj patterns.

- Good.
- One pomegranate colored.

Be quick Asghari.

Two dark blue Mehrabis.

- Asghari?
- Yes sir?

- Bring two teas.
- Yes sir.

- Dad.
- Put that notebook aside and come here.

You could let us finish first.

Then you'd disappear in a blink of an eye.

You wouldn't wait and answer to me.

Go ahead. I'm all ears.

What's with this proposal thing and stuff?

it's proposal and marriage dad.

Cut it out Farhad.

Who is this Roya?

Do you know her family?

Who are her parents? What does she do?

- How old is she?
- Well dad?

- I don't know precisely.
- You don't know?

What difference does it make if I do or not?

Didn't we know Shahrzad?

- She married someone else at the end.
- Shahrzad?

You mean Mrs. Shahrzad, right?

Jamshid's daughter.

Ghobad's legal wife, eh?

Dad, you think I still think about her?

Damn!

When did I say that?

Why do you change the subject?

I'll make it short.

I won't come to propose to this girl for
you before I know who she is.

That's what your mother says too.

I didn't want to propose to her in a hurry.

- I just wanted to put you in the picture.
- It can't be like that.

We can't go to propose to this girl
before we know about her family.

I don't understand dad.

Do you want to propose for me or not?

I can hear you talking about a proposal!

I should learn something from you Farhad.

This is not your concern.

- Back to work.
- Sorry.

Sorry.

Where are you going?

- You're not finished yet.
- I'm meeting up with someone.

I'll be back tonight and take care of those.

- Bye for now.
- Farhad.

I've brought you hot tea.

Drink it yourself. Bye.

Asghari?

Keep an eye on the shop.
I'll be right back.

Yes sir.

All right.

Now repeat after me.

There's no need for that.

I got it all.

I doubt that.

If you did, Mr. Bozorg wouldn't think so less of you.

Now repeat my words.
I'm listening.

Where are you going?

To the horse racing stadium.

- I've made a good bet on the Turkmen horse.
- Relapsed into your old ways?

A man with two wives should stop doing these things.

A man with two wives has only one option.

Going to hell!

Hello?

How are you darling?

My voice is hoarse because
I couldn't sleep last night.

You were right.
I shouldn't have taken that matter very seriously.

I can't get rid of Shirin.

I don't know.
I think I misunderstood everything.

What can I say?
She's not really leaving.

I can't speak right now.
The club is too crowded.

Yes, I have to stay here tonight
and settle the accounts.

Give them my regards and apologize for me.

Honey, if you too get mad at me
right now, I'll go hang myself.

See you honey.
Love you. Bye.

Bravo!

Now I know you got my point.

You've bet on the right horse.

Now go home and change your cloths.
We're going somewhere nobody's waiting for you.

Where?

You'll know.

Shahrzad.

Look how well it fits me.

We just need to have Saeedeh fix the corners a little.

Yes, it fits you.

I brought these two as well.

Just to show how beautiful they are.

Not that I want them to be mine.

They're so tempting.
I love you two!

You can have them if you want.

Really?

- Can I?
- Yes, they're yours.

I say,

Just ignore me!

But don't be sad if you find out
Farhad is getting married.

So much the better.

- What?
- Nothing.

I didn't say anything.

A yellow autumn, a cold winter,

A narrow jail cell, a beautiful wound,

A gloomy Friday evening, these strange barriers,

A world of questions, you left me with.

A world of lies, a world of sunsets,

A hurting pain, a sharp blade,

A sick heart and a deep sigh,

A world of impossible, you left me with.

Where are you, my friend? Where exactly are you?

Where are you without me?

Where are you, my friend? Where exactly are you?

Where are you without me?

I feel all alone in this world.

Where are you, my darling?

Come look me in the eye.

Come look me in the eye.

Heaven forbids,

Look what your eyes have done to mine.

I've searched everywhere,

Where are you, my darling?

Let me pour my blood in your veins.

Come back to me,

Come change my world,

Come heal my wounds,

Where are you, my darling? Where exactly are you?

Where are you without me?

Where are you, my darling? Where exactly are you?

Where are you without me?
