00:00Oh, Mr. Alavi.
00:09Hello, Madam Helena. Good to see you.
00:12Please.
00:15Long time no see, Mr. Alavi. How's your wife these days? How are the twins?
00:21Yes, they're fine and doing quite well, thank you.
00:25I was on a mission for a while, that's why I wasn't around so much.
00:28Oh, yes, that's true. These official missions are actually depriving us of seeing you.
00:35That's very kind of you, Madam. How's business for you?
00:39Not quite well, Mr. Alavi. I have a new problem that's arisen. I want to tell you.
00:47Please go on.
00:49Some informants have given police officials reports about meetings being held here by what they're calling suspicious groups.
00:56So they keep sending officers to inspect the hotel now. See? It's no longer crowded here.
01:03I hadn't heard about it. But don't worry, I'll follow up on the matter.
01:09Unfortunately, there are lots of these fake reports going around that.
01:12Oh, it's Arshabill and his American friend.
01:24Excuse me for a moment.
01:27Hello. Hello.
01:31Good day, sir. Hello.
01:33Want some tea, sir?
01:35No, thank you, Isa.
01:36Please, this way.
01:46This way.
01:47This way.
01:57I'm sorry. You see, they are our regular customers here.
02:01Mm-hmm.
02:02Arshabill is Mr. Romanov's, son.
02:04That's right. And he's a nice boy.
02:08He regularly comes here with all his friends.
02:11But he's extravagant.
02:13Well, I can tell that from the people he hangs around with.
02:17The American guy there is Roger Corter.
02:21No one knows what he does, though.
02:24He knows the... I'm sorry, what do you call it again?
02:27Yeah. The royals.
02:29Oh, yes, that's right.
02:31He hangs around with the royal family.
02:34He also speaks fluent Farsi, too.
02:39By the way, sir, would you do something about the report?
02:43Most certainly.
02:44I'll simply have to visit the security headquarters' third branch.
02:47Those reports are usually dealt with there.
02:49Thank you, sir.
02:51Thank you, sir.
02:51Mm-hmm.
03:21Excuse me, may I?
03:46Go ahead.
03:47Former Prince Shroha Soltani is here.
03:51Uh, the uncle of the Gajah King.
03:58Okay, let him in.
04:00Right away, sir.
04:06Please, sir.
04:08Mr. Romanov is waiting.
04:09Please, sir.
04:16Hello there, Prince.
04:18Great to see you.
04:19Welcome, sir.
04:20Hello, sir.
04:21How are you doing these days?
04:22I'm very good, thank you for asking.
04:24Thank you, sir.
04:25Please have a seat, would you?
04:27Thank you, sir.
04:29Have a seat, dear.
04:31All right, then.
04:35How can I help you?
04:36Well, you see, my dear wife here was very eager to meet you today.
04:42She's heard good things.
04:44That's why we came without notifying you in advance.
04:47I'm glad to see you both.
04:49Mr. Romanov, I have to say that you have always been so kind to me.
04:53The prince had told me a lot of things about you before.
04:57However, I still wasn't expecting this much grandeur and elegance in your home.
05:02It's exactly what I told you about, honey.
05:05I had to see the place in person.
05:07And the things you say aren't always true, you know, prince.
05:10You keep making up stuff about people.
05:15You're actually living in your own imaginary world.
05:20Anyway, that compliment is very kind of you, madam.
05:23Thanks a lot.
05:39It's your welcoming hospitality which makes this an exceptionally different place.
05:45Well, thank you for that, prince.
05:49That's a fine artifact you've got there.
05:52So it must be Russian-made, right?
05:55Actually, Czechoslovakia.
05:57Ah.
05:59It's brilliant.
06:01Listen, Mr. Romanov, I have to say you're a trustworthy person.
06:06Which is why I'm going to ask you to lend me some 100,000 tomans for an emergency.
06:13100,000 tomans?
06:15Well, I can borrow the same amount and even more from other acquaintances
06:19or other people that I see from time to time in my circle.
06:24But, see, I'd rather not.
06:27Because, as you fully know, a person in my position shouldn't borrow money from others.
06:32It's not fitting for a prince.
06:35He shouldn't have to be in a position to borrow money at all.
06:38But, you know, I am into foreign currency at the moment.
06:45There are other people who would lend you money in return for...
06:48Well, I cannot trust those people, Mr. Romanov.
06:52So I came here because I know you.
06:55And I know about your sincere friendship with His Excellency Ahmad Shah the King.
07:00My late nephew.
07:04Besides, like I said nowadays, these middlemen are not trustworthy.
07:07Right.
07:09But tell me, when could you pay the money back?
07:12You know, 100,000 tomans is a huge amount of money.
07:17Don't worry.
07:19We'll pay you back next week.
07:21And right on time.
07:23And with all the interest rate included as well.
07:26But unfortunately, we need to get the money from you today.
07:30Ah.
07:32Hmm.
07:34Hmm.
07:37Well, since the amount is so large, I will have to borrow it from some friends immediately.
07:44Because it's only one week, I won't take any interest.
07:49Actually, interest money is not my business.
07:52But please, do understand, I do need some kind of guarantee for the money I lend you.
07:56Sure.
07:56Oh, of course. We know that, sir.
08:07I don't have to borrow it from some kind of guarantee for the money I'm going to borrow it from some kind of guarantee for the money I'm going to borrow it from some kind of guarantee for the money I'm going to borrow it from some kind of guarantee for the money I'm going to borrow it from some kind of guarantee for the money I'm going to borrow it from some kind of guarantee for the money I'm going to borrow it from some kind of guarantee for the money I'm going to borrow it from some kind of guarantee for the money I'm going to borrow it from some kind of guarantee for the money I'm going to borrow it from the money I'm going to borrow it from the money I'm going to borrow it from the money I'm going to borrow it from the money I'm going to borrow it from the money I'm going to borrow it from the money I'm going to borrow it from the money I'm going to borrow it from the money I'm going to borrow it from the money I'm going to borrow it from the money I'm going to
08:37This ball here is six centuries old, and my wife inherited it.
08:52And the lowest proposed price is twice the money we're going to borrow from you.
08:58I decided to bring the ball in person today, to leave it to a trustworthy and honest person just like you, sir.
09:07Sir, it's one of the most precious artifacts from the Gajar dynasty.
09:32Yes, I can see. But, uh...
09:37However, you're just not sure about the price.
09:40Not at all. What I do doubt is...
09:43You might be questioning our decision, right?
09:46It might sound strange to you, sir, but we are doing this only because we know you as a responsible person.
09:54Plus, if we were not going to pay you back in a week, just like we promised to you, then please trust me that we would have never left it here with you.
10:05Your place is the best place for it, you understand?
10:08And here, it's just a formal warranty. This is the guarantee that will best suit you.
10:19Don't you think it's enough for you?
10:21Of course. Actually, it's more than enough.
10:24As you know, Mr. Ramanov, this is a precious artifact that we are leaving as a guarantee for our debt, so I want you to keep it as a secret and never talk to anyone about it.
10:37And please take all the necessary precautions to protect it, because like we mentioned to you before, this is a precious artifact that was passed down to me, so I'm sure you understand how important it is to me and my family.
10:50The Prince and I will meet you next week to get it back from you, all right?
10:55Yes. Surely.
10:56Yes, sir. Do you want something?
11:10Please make a note of the exact details of this.
11:14And give His Excellency a receipt.
11:17Yes, sir.
11:18And please call McCallion's antique shop.
11:21And also Kasparov's jewelry shop.
11:23I will, sir.
11:26I will get you the money, and it will be ready in one hour, is that all right?
11:35I'm sorry for asking you this, sir, so forgive me.
11:39But do you have a safe place to keep the ball in for the time being, do you?
11:43Of course.
11:45I have a strong and secure safety box in my office, which cannot be easily detected.
11:52Ah.
11:52Oh, you are a cautious person, Mr. Rabinov.
11:57Good day, sir.
12:27Well, it's cold today.
12:29It is. Take a seat by the heater. Where have you been?
12:32At the kebab shop.
12:35You have lunch at Hotel Paris with Madame Helena, but I go to Abbas Khan's.
12:40But, Lieutenant, you should want what you eat at your age. That much can't be good for you.
12:44Oh, man, I've been eating that stuff for a lifetime, so let it go on.
12:48Oh, Lieutenant, please keep this in mind, that the life of a policeman is not only his.
12:53You belong to the society, not to mention your wife, children, and grandchildren as well.
12:59Oh, what are you talking about?
13:01Okay. Looks like you don't like the subject.
13:04Now go off to the security headquarters and check the file on Hotel Paris, would you please?
13:09Madame Helena was quite worried about it earlier.
13:11Excuse my language, but these informants are just a bunch of jerks.
13:17They're people who only fabricate stories against other people.
13:20You know what I think?
13:22They all write their reports under the influence of drugs and alcohol and other weird stuff you can take.
13:27But I think there must be something going on.
13:30Now go and take care of it instead of making speeches.
13:33Absolutely, sir.
13:48It is excellent and extraordinary.
13:57Belonging to the Tamarid era.
14:01The least it could cost is 180,000.
14:04So as a guarantee, it's worth it then.
14:08Absolutely.
14:10But you have to be very careful with it.
14:13I will keep it for one week.
14:15Then they will pay off the dead and get back the artifact.
14:19However, even just for one day.
14:21Protecting it is a serious thing.
14:57Did you call the gallery?
15:23Yes.
15:24Do you want me to help you?
15:26No, I don't.
15:27You may go home now.
15:29Right.
15:35Hello?
15:37Mr. Romanov's office.
15:40No, he's still right here.
15:43Okay.
15:44The call is for you.
15:46They said it's from Prince Shoah Saltani's residence.
15:48No, I'm sorry for disturbing you, Mr. Romanov.
16:03And I know it's very late right now.
16:06I was kind of worried about the ball.
16:09I was thinking that we could ask Colonel Arom, the head of the police department, to assign a soldier at your office to guard the ball at night.
16:17He can be very efficient and get somebody over there in a very short time.
16:21And besides, Arom is an old friend of mine, you know.
16:25And this way we'll both be at ease.
16:28Don't you think?
16:29It's all right.
16:30Please, don't worry about it.
16:32I will keep the artifact at home.
16:35It's safer there.
16:37I'll take good care of it.
16:39All right, then.
16:41Now I'll rest assured.
16:42I'm absolutely sure that I've left the ball with a trustworthy and careful person, Mr. Romanov.
16:49However, just in case you do need some additional care for the ball, please let me know.
16:56Yes, sir.
16:57Thank you very much.
16:59God bless you, and please sleep well.
17:09The gary is waiting.
17:10The gary is waiting.
17:40The gary is waiting.
