An Iranian boy travels to Paris to study. There, he meets and falls in love with a young Jewish girl. But when World War II breaks out, he's forced to return home, thus, he manages to smuggle the girl and her mother to Iran in order to save them from the Nazis who've occupied France. While Iran itself is occupied by foreign forces, the young man helps to launch a newspaper focused on preserving and promoting the country's heritage and culture. But it won’t be easy since political intrigues threaten to destroy everything he holds dear.

00:00What's it say?
00:16You dirty juice.
00:18You better get the hell out of this place right now.
00:22Before your dirty blood is spilt.
00:27I'll get it. Calm down.
00:28Who is it?
00:36Mr. Aestroke.
00:37Uncle Theodore.
00:38I told him to come. They're the only relatives we have here.
00:42Now what are we supposed to do, Habib?
00:45First of all, you have to stop worrying.
00:48I'm not going to leave you.
00:51And secondly, I think it's best if both you and your mother come over and stay at our house for a while.
00:56I'm sure Mother and Sadia would be very happy to see you.
01:00After that, we'll have Major Fatahi investigate who did this.
01:04I don't think identifying the ones behind such a heinous act should be hard, Mr. Parsa.
01:08Good day, sir.
01:11Good day, Uncle.
01:13Good day, my dear.
01:15You have to look for them among the supporters of the Germans, and so I will have my friends at the Allied Forces headquarters personally look into the matter.
01:26Menuhin?
01:27Yes?
01:27Has something like this happened around here before?
01:31No.
01:32This is the first time.
01:33We've never seen anything like that.
01:36But things are different now, Mr. Menuhin.
01:37In fact, the rest of the fifth column of the Germans in your country want to somehow satisfy themselves.
01:44And they do it with such anti-Jewish activities.
01:47And you mustn't forget that the repeated defeats and retreats of the German army throughout the war has made these people very angry and extremely tense.
01:54So these things aren't too surprising during the times we're living in.
01:58Well, I think it's best that you, Rachel, and Sarah should come with me and my son to the place we're staying at for a while.
02:08Unless, of course, this whole thing is sorted out and you feel safe.
02:11We have enough space there for all of us, and have people there that will make you feel at home.
02:16Thank you very much.
02:19But we don't want to bother you.
02:20But with all that's happened, I don't think it's right for me to leave you alone, my child.
02:25But, Uncle, I think that you...
02:26No, I think your uncle's right, Sarah.
02:28We'd better stay with them for a while.
02:31I'd like to thank you, Mr. Minohan.
02:34And Mr. Parsa, as well.
02:37Please don't mention it. It's my duty.
02:40All right, then.
02:42So you'd best get your things together and get ready to leave this place.
02:58Well, to tell you the truth, Habib, your late father knew quite a lot about some of the frictions between the two main groups of Jewish people living here in Iran.
03:09But you have to understand.
03:11The truth is that most Iranian Jews have no complaints about living here.
03:16They aren't exactly oppressed because we believe that the true promised land is the place where we will all be happy and finally at some peace.
03:24But there is a minority, wealthy group of Jews out there who think the promised land is, in fact, Palestine.
03:31Actually, we published an article that talked about this a while back in one of our weekly issues.
03:37And I've even heard that some of your fellow Jews are linked with a Zionist organization.
03:42And we've collected some concrete evidence that some members of this agency, such as Judas Verakim, for instance, are involved in the smuggling of ancient artifacts and valuable antiques out of the country.
03:52Well, if that's the case, then I believe there is something else you should know, Mr. Parsa.
03:58This organization is in direct contact with the Jewish Agency.
04:02And you know that the Jewish Agency is an organization that's active all around the world, including in Iran.
04:09And one of their main focuses is trying to persuade Jews to immigrate over to Palestine.
04:15And so, Ms. Astrock's uncle Theodore and his son are both very active members of this organization.
04:22They're not here in Iran just to spend some time with Sarah and her mother.
04:27Are you sure that's exactly what you saw, your old dog?
04:55Of course, sir. I followed the lady just as you'd ask me. Please believe me when I tell you that I'm not lying to you.
05:02Well?
05:03As I said before, a few moments after the lady went into that weekly's office, I saw that man go inside the same building.
05:11Are you sure it was a newspaper office?
05:13Well, that's what it said when I read the sign, sir.
05:17How do you know who that man is?
05:19Yes. Before. I've met him before when he came here after all those things happened.
05:24Right here in this house, sir.
05:26It was while you were abroad, remember?
05:29I believe he was the officer in charge of the case.
05:32It's definitely the same man I'm positive.
05:34If...
05:35If...
05:36If...
05:38If...
05:39What's wrong?
05:55Where were you this afternoon, Zinnath?
05:59Just like always. I went to see my father.
06:03Just like always. You went to see your father.
06:07Don't lie to me!
06:09Have you gone completely mad?
06:11I thought you learned your lesson the last time I warned you.
06:15How many times have you gone to see him?
06:17Go on, tell me. How many times have you been to see him? Tell me now!
06:21What on earth are you talking about?
06:23Don't play the innocent victim for me, you trash!
06:26I know everything!
06:27That's good.
06:29So go on then, tell me a little about what you know.
06:31No, my dear.
06:32You have to tell me.
06:34Tell me everything!
06:35Or else I'll leave you right this minute and go straight to that rat's house and put a bullet right in his head!
06:41Go and do whatever you want.
06:43Just leave me alone and stay away.
06:45If you raise your hand on me one more time, I'll tell everybody about all those skeletons that you have locked in your closet!
06:51Oh, good. Did that rat teach you how to stand up to me and fight your own battles?
06:56Come over here, you piece of trash!
06:58No, no! Leave me alone! You crazy! Leave me alone! Where are you taking me? No, no!
07:04To a place you deserve to be!
07:06Please, please, please!
07:06You'll stay down and locked up in the basement of this house until your hair grows gray and falls out!
07:11Oh, Jackie! You're making a mistake! Damn you!
07:14I wish he had been passed by at his office today, and then I accidentally saw Fattahi there, and I left that place as soon as I saw him!
07:21Oh, nothing happened! I swear to you!
07:23Why did you lie when I asked you the first time?
07:25Why did you lie to me?
07:26And I thought, please...
07:27You think I'm stupid enough to believe anything you say?
07:30You trash!
07:31You wicked woman!
07:31You mean nothing to me!
07:33Oh, no!
07:38With all these measures I've taken regarding the case of the ancient artifacts,
07:42I doubt that the people at that weekly publication will be able to get what they want.
07:48And that's what you wanted, isn't it?
07:50Exactly.
07:52This will be a great slap in the face for Fattahi, and now he'll know what sort of danger he's dealing with.
07:58But how do you know that he was ever involved with that story?
08:01Trust me, you don't know what that snake can do.
08:05If you could somehow have him transferred to another faraway city, then everyone here in the capital would be happy.
08:12We'll all be very glad to be rid of him for good, Colonel.
08:16Unfortunately, things like that are complicated.
08:19Because you see, it's only possible to do something like that if Fattahi himself asks for a transfer.
08:26Or he makes a big enough mistake.
08:30And so far, it looks like he's done nothing wrong.
08:34By the way, tell me you did take care of what you promised me before, didn't you, Aja?
08:40Of course.
08:42One of my palace connections saw to it that your son is appointed.
08:46To a very high-ranking position at that ministry.
08:49You should be glad.
08:51He can supposedly start next month if he wants to.
08:54Good.
08:55Good.
08:56Well then, I'll give him the good news tonight.
08:58He'll be really happy to hear about it.
09:01Sorry, Colonel.
09:02Yes?
09:03Telephone.
09:03Don't you see I have a guest?
09:06Tell him to call back tomorrow.
09:08It's police headquarters.
09:09They say it's an emergency.
09:10I'm sorry.
09:14Excuse me.
09:15No, go ahead.
09:18Hello?
09:19Yes, it's Colonel Tefuri speaking.
09:21Good evening.
09:24What?
09:26When did this happen?
09:28Very well.
09:34Thank you for informing me.
09:36Good night.
09:37Is something wrong?
09:46You must know Jahangir Hommayunpana.
09:49He's one of the big boys at the foreign ministry.
09:51Of course.
09:52He was killed by his wife tonight.
09:54Just now.
09:55You know, I...
10:02I expected something like this would happen sooner or later.
10:08What do you mean?
10:12Forget about it.
10:16Colonel.
10:17Yes?
10:18I'm about to ask you something important, okay?
10:21And please don't say no to this.
10:26Well, I have to know what it is first.
10:29But with the tremendous favor you've done for my son,
10:32I'll do whatever I can within my power.
10:35Well, just tell me.
10:51I'll do whatever I can within my power.
10:53I'll do whatever I can within my power.
10:54I'll do whatever I can within my power.
10:55I'll do whatever I can within my power.
10:56I'll do whatever I can within my power.
10:57I'll do whatever I can within my power.
10:58I'll do whatever I can within my power.
10:59I'll do whatever I can within my power.
11:00I'll do whatever I can within my power.
11:01I'll do whatever I can within my power.
11:02I'll do whatever I can within my power.
11:03I'll do whatever I can within my power.
11:04I'll do whatever I can within my power.
11:05I'll do whatever I can within my power.
11:06I'll do whatever I can within my power.
11:07I'll do whatever I can within my power.
11:08I'll do whatever I can within my power.
11:09I'll do whatever I can within my power.
11:10Let's go.
11:40This way, please.
12:10Let's go.
12:40Newspaper. Parliament refuses to give Govam total authority.
12:44Come and get it.
12:45Give me one.
12:45Here you go.
12:47Here.
12:47Thanks, sir. Thank you very much.
12:50God protect you and your family.
12:52Newspaper. The nation today.
12:54Dr. Virsip, the American economist, appointed as head of treasury.
12:59The nation today. Come and get it.
13:01Newspaper. Newspaper. The nation today.
13:04Come and get it. Come and get it.
13:06Senior foreign ministry official killed by his wife.
13:09Newspaper. The nation today.
13:12Come and get it. Come and get it.
13:13High ranking foreign ministry official killed by his wife.
13:16Good day, Major.
13:27Good day?
13:29Have you heard the news, too?
13:32Colonel Tafuri is waiting for you in his office right now.
13:34What for?
13:38Oh, I don't know, sir.
13:52The prime minister has personally asked police headquarters
13:55to appoint one of their best men to follow up on this case.
13:59And so we saw no one better than you.
14:01Now, this is an extremely important case for Tahi.
14:04So make sure that you do a good job and not let us down.
14:10But, sir, why me?
14:12I don't understand. Why not?
14:19Well, because there are a couple of other cases I'm working on right now,
14:25so how would I ever make the time for something like this?
14:27Put everything you're working on aside for now.
14:30This case is very important and only you can do it.
14:34Take it.
14:35When we questioned the janitor earlier,
14:41he said he heard the sound of the gunshot.
14:44He went into the house and saw the accused
14:47with a gun in her hand standing over the body.
14:50And then we found out from the coroner
14:51that the bullet that killed Homayunpana
14:54is from the gun his wife was holding.
14:58Well, then everything is crystal clear, don't you think?
15:01But there's a bit of a problem
15:02that you and I have to deal with in this case.
15:06The accused hasn't said anything.
15:08Not a word, Chief Inspector.
15:10Nothing about what happened.
15:12So, we need her confession
15:14to refer the case to the judiciary.
15:17Currently, she is still being held here without bail,
15:20so she won't be going anywhere soon.
15:21So I'd like for you to start interrogating her today.
15:25Listen to me.
15:26We're not going to waste time,
15:27so give me all the details
15:29as soon as you start getting something concrete
15:31from the investigation.
15:37Yes, sir.
15:39Good day.
15:54Hello?
15:55Good day, Aja.
15:56I took care of what you'd asked me to.
16:02Yes, it's my pleasure.
16:03But I'm still curious
16:05as to why you asked to have him of all people
16:07to interrogate her.
16:09I'll explain everything when the time comes.
16:11And besides, I never forget the kindness of my friends.
16:15Congratulate your son from me
16:17on the new job he now holds, Colonel.
16:19I'm sure you'll be proud of him.
16:21I'm sure you'll be proud of him.
16:22I'm sure you'll be proud of him.
16:23I'm sure you'll be proud of him.
16:23I'm sure you'll be proud of him.
16:24I'm sure you'll be proud of him.
16:24I'm sure you'll be proud of him.
16:25I'm sure you'll be proud of him.
16:25I'm sure you'll be proud of him.
16:26I'm sure you'll be proud of him.
16:27I'm sure you'll be proud of him.
