Hamed’s uncle has been dead for more than thirty years. In his youth he had met and married a Tajik girl while studying abroad in Germany. Hamed’s father never accepted her, and after his brother died, he drove her off and took the land his brother had given her. Now he’s feeling guilty and has sent his son on a mission to find her. But will Hamed be able to do enough to make up for his father’s past sins?

00:00This notebook seems to be a diary, and I don't think that anybody has read it yet, sir.

00:14And these two pictures? We're with it.

00:30This looks like a retouched photograph. Hmm, it seems like it has been altered a lot. Have the pictures analyzed, okay?

00:46The slightest resemblance to any wanted persons we are looking for can be a good lead for us in this case.

00:56Especially now that all the answers he's given us are all mixed up.

01:00With all these mixed up answers, he probably isn't that innocent.

01:14I want you to go over every single line, the smallest detail might be a clue, to help solving this case.

01:22Make sure, make sure you write down all the statements.

01:28Are we talking about his connection with Savage Nikolai's gang?

01:34No, not now, no.

01:36It's to our advantage if he isn't revealed just yet.

01:42It'll give us the opportunity to be able to observe him more closely.

01:48This way, we might even learn a lot about the other connections by watching him.

01:52And go to the Iranian Embassy, and make a request for information.

01:58Yes, sir.

02:00Yes, sir.

02:02...

02:06...

02:08...

02:10...

02:12...

02:14...

02:16...

02:17Hello, may I come in?

02:41My dear friend.

02:45May I come in?

02:46Come in, please.

02:54Well, you're not looking any better than yesterday.

02:57How come?

02:58We've got to go to the hospital.

03:01That's what the doctor advised you to do.

03:03I'm fine. It's really nothing.

03:07It might be necessary.

03:09The doctor wouldn't say it without a good reason.

03:13A CT scan?

03:14There you go.

03:14Or an MRI. Forget it.

03:27We have to take you to the doctor.

03:29It's nothing, man.

03:31Don't worry about it.

03:33By the way, you know your friends came over here.

03:36They really put themselves out interrogating and cross-examining me thoroughly.

03:41I hope you told them everything.

03:44You know what I was thinking?

03:46If that's the way they interrogate the innocent, then God help the accused, who is roaming around free as a bird.

03:53And from their perspective, anyone who is the plaintiff, could be the guilty party, too.

04:00Especially if the plaintiff didn't go to the police himself to file a complaint.

04:05You see, the manager of the hotel has brought the police into this and has taken the plaintiff by surprise, you understand?

04:16Tell me, how do you know that the manager called them?

04:19You're not supposed to ask questions.

04:21You just need to trust me.

04:23That's all.

04:24Aren't you going to introduce yourself properly?

04:27Well, will you believe me?

04:31Alright, then.

04:32Guess I will.

04:33Well, a portrait photographer who is a bit, a bit clever, you know?

04:42And?

04:43How about this?

04:44A portrait photographer who is a bit clever and, uh, very noisy.

04:52I hope you won't ask me for, uh, for more details.

04:55Not again.

04:57You provide trickles of information, huh?

05:01Alright.

05:01Well, what are we supposed to do now?

05:06It depends on what your inclination is.

05:08That is what must be done.

05:10Well, I want to find Uncle Soban's child.

05:14Well, there's something we need to do first, before we go to that step.

05:19We've got to find out first who the child is.

05:22And will you help me on that?

05:23Once again, we shake hands on that, alright?

05:26Huh?

05:26Just don't communicate with anyone, and don't...

05:31Don't trust your friends on this.

05:34These two conditions aren't necessary.

05:37Just...

05:38Just do it quickly.

05:40You know the situation I'm in.

05:41We don't have any time.

05:43I got to speak with my father as soon as possible.

05:45Even if I have to do it in person.

05:48When it comes to your cousin, just leave it to me, alright?

05:51But it's up to you to see that he gets what's rightfully his.

05:56And today the lands will be signed over to my father.

05:59By the way, what time is it?

06:03It's 10 a.m.

06:04You forget it's earlier in Tehran.

06:07We lied to the east of you.

06:09The sun shines on us sooner.

06:13So they might not have gone to the notaries yet.

06:20Just remember that it was because of me you were able to leave the hospital.

06:23Don't take all the credit for that now.

06:26It was me who had to put on a performance in front of everyone in the hospital.

06:30Just to show that I was alright.

06:32What do you want to say now?

06:38Are you going to ask for more time?

06:40Is there anything else I can do?

06:46You just, uh...

06:48You just tell him we found him.

06:49You want me to lie?

06:50Is it a lie?

06:52You found him or you were going to find him very soon.

06:54Is there a difference?

06:55I really can't say that.

06:58I mean, they don't trust me anymore as it is.

07:02You should ask for a shorter amount of time.

07:15I think that if you ask, he just might agree.

07:19Now that's a good idea.

07:20Yeah.

07:20Hello.

07:33Hello.

07:34Hello, Hamid.

07:37Well, thanks a lot.

07:39I'm fine.

07:40I wasn't aware of what had hit me until last night.

07:46But I know now.

07:48I told you.

07:50I'm fine.

07:53Hamid.

07:55Just find him, please.

08:00Find him.

08:01That's all.

08:03Dr. Meshkot to the surgical ward.

08:05Dr. Meshkot to the surgical ward.

08:09Well now, thank God you're feeling much better.

08:12Let's leave quickly because we have to go to the notary office before we get home.

08:15We're not signing anything.

08:18Until he comes back.

08:26I'll adjust the air in the wheels of this wheelchair.

08:28Daddy, what are you doing?

08:44I don't know what you mean, dear.

08:46I'm not as clever as the others to make up an excuse and go out.

08:50Maybe it's because you have the courage.

08:52No, maybe it's because I feel that I'm very close to you.

08:55You're my father, after all.

08:56But take a moment and think about what you're really planning on doing.

09:00Well, there's no problem if your brother's child comes.

09:03We'll give him what's rightfully his.

09:04But Daddy, I really don't know.

09:07I wish there wouldn't be any talk about that 4,000 meter land.

09:12Can I be frank with you?

09:14Of course you may be right.

09:16What you're doing right now might be for the best of everyone involved.

09:19Or maybe you think that I'm feeling upset because of the lands you decided to give Munir.

09:25I never expected you'd give the other half to me, but...

09:28Oh...

09:29I just wish there wouldn't be any talk about the lands.

09:33You know, anything I say now about Hamed, your brother's child, even about what Said does,

09:38you're just going to think that I'm saying it because I'm striking a blow for the lands.

09:41My dear, sweetheart, I know the factory isn't doing well.

09:50I know that the sooner we begin construction on those lands, the better everything will be.

09:58I know.

10:00But last night, when I couldn't move my legs anymore,

10:06and when the doctor who spoke so well and so politely

10:12had lost all hope for my recovery,

10:16I made a promise to God

10:20and gave my word to Him.

10:27I vowed

10:28to make sure everyone gets what's rightfully theirs.

10:34just kiss to me.

10:40Let's pray.

11:03Let's pray.

11:03You know what I was thinking about?

11:15Let me guess, you were thinking, how can we find the child quickly?

11:20No. I was wondering what good deed did I do that God decided to reward me like this?

11:27I had to spend two hours begging my father for something he himself gave me in two minutes.

11:31Tell me, do you believe in rewards, in energy, in karma?

11:42What's wrong?

11:43Why?

11:45Is anything the matter?

11:47No. No.

11:48You really had me worried.

11:50No. There's nothing to worry about, alright?

11:52But you suddenly looked worried.

11:54Of course not. I was just testing you.

11:56I wanted to see how, uh, how committed you are to your word and the agreement between us, you understand?

12:03Wanted to see that you'd leave everything to me and not worry about anything anymore.

12:08You mean I failed the test so quickly?

12:10No.

12:12Your mind was somewhere else.

12:14It's not exactly the way you think it is.

12:16I wasn't raised all pampered, you know.

12:18I just don't like to worry someone else just so I can feel less worried.

12:23But sometimes you're feeling worried, uh, well it has a bad effect on what we're doing.

12:31So tell me, what do you think, uh, what do you think your reward was for?

12:37I really don't know.

12:39According to my own inventory, I have only done one positive thing during this whole time.

12:49It's not difficult to guess what it was for.

12:52But what you did wasn't good, you see.

12:55You shouldn't show mercy to a down-and-out thief.

12:58Because he's both a thief and an incompetent.

13:02Otherwise he would have given up the ranks.

13:04And when I say you're not just a simple photographer, you keep denying it.

13:07You forgot to mention a bit clever.

13:11He did show me mercy.

13:15He could have killed me, you know.

13:17Thrown me into a well.

13:19Strangled me or even stabbed me with a knife.

13:22But he didn't.

13:25In all that time, there was a look of shame and embarrassment in his eyes.

13:30That's exactly why I don't want you to get involved.

13:33Otherwise, you'll never get to the person whose rights you want to restore.

13:38For me, the end doesn't justify the means.

13:43Well, is that so?

13:46Did it sound too much like a slogan?

13:48You know, not chanting any slogans is a slogan in itself.

13:54All right.

13:56We'll carry on taking all principles into consideration.

14:02The expenses, that is, the casualties, well, they'll be up to you, my friend.

14:10I'll update you soon.
