00:00Hello, Hazmik. How are you?
00:14Well, hello there, Mr. Kazaruni. I'm fine, thank you. How are you?
00:18What do you need?
00:20You working alone?
00:21Yeah.
00:22How about Mrs. Sodry?
00:23She's gone. I'm afraid she's left Tehran to go and see her aunt in Karaj.
00:28Could I help you, though?
00:30Eh, all right. Actually, I'm not quite sure, you see. I wanted to order some dresses.
00:37Some dresses for you?
00:39Come on, not for me. For my wife and daughters.
00:42I see.
00:42My elder daughter is ten, and my younger one is six, and their height is about this tall, just like that.
00:49My wife is probably almost as tall as you, but she's quite a bit fatter than you are.
00:56Hmm. Yeah, I see. So that's how it is.
01:00That's how men go about ordering dresses for their wives, then, eh?
01:04Yeah, so you can know what size she needs and what kind of dress she might want.
01:08Mr. Kazaruni, that's not the way these things work. You must bring them all here to be measured properly.
01:16I don't have time to do that. Isn't there some other way?
01:19Sure. You could just measure the sizes yourself and just bring them to me.
01:23Which measurements?
01:24Well, I'll need the shoulders, the length of the sleeves, and the torso, and the skirt length, and circumference.
01:33Yeah, well, that's... well, it's a bit confusing, I have to say.
01:37I'll write it all down.
01:38That'd be great, thank you.
01:40Can you have them ready by New Year's Eve?
01:42Well, we have a lot of orders to get to, but we'll do yours quickly, all right?
01:47Really? That'd be fantastic. And the fabric?
01:50We have many types.
01:51But I want something that, eh, matches my income, you know?
01:58The Haj Ali Akbari brand, or, eh, the Metgal kind, something like that.
02:03No way, the Haj Ali Akbari thing is already out of date. For your wife, I think the cheat will be better than Metgal.
02:12We have some samples here. Just let her take a look, and she can choose which one that she likes the best.
02:18Thank you so much.
02:19Here you are. And get me those sizes soon, all right?
02:23All right, thank you. But, eh, how am I supposed to get the sizes? I don't have a measuring tape.
02:29No problem. I'll let you borrow this one, okay? But I want you to return it to me tomorrow.
02:34I'll do that, sure. I'll return it early in the morning before I go to the office. I'll bring it right back to you, right here.
02:40All right, very good.
02:41I really appreciate this.
02:42You're welcome.
02:42Tell Mrs. Audrey...
02:44...that I say hi.
02:46I will.
02:48Take care now.
02:48Till tomorrow.
02:48Last week, the Parliament's Oil Committee presented its five-point proposal on the nationalization of the oil industry and its independence from the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company.
03:02The committee has urged that an immediate debate take place and that a vote on the bill be taken promptly.
03:08After several sessions so far, however, lawmakers and the government have stood at odds and have failed to reach an initial agreement.
03:15Prime Minister Razmara is openly against the bill.
03:19This afternoon, he delivered a speech in Parliament detailing his reasons as to why he opposes a quick nationalization of Iran's oil industry.
03:28Meanwhile, the British ambassador to Tehran has reportedly met with Premier Razmara for a full discussion of the matter.
03:34Davis has told Razmara that London cannot ignore the fate of the British oil firms operating in Iran
03:40and that earlier deals, which guarantee the presence of those companies in Iran until 1993, have to be respected.
03:47The British ambassador told reporters that he has no doubt that the Iranian side will abide by its obligations set by the deal.
03:55According to Davis, the contract signed has made it clear that amendments to Iranian laws would not affect its legality.
04:01That means no new bill can annul it.
04:04This, as a large rally, was held near Baharistan Square in central Tehran yesterday,
04:09in which speeches were made in support of the nationalization motion
04:12and against what the demonstrators described as London's violation of the rights of the Iranian nation.
04:19Hello?
04:21Ah.
04:23Mr. Saji.
04:24You're having some lunch then, huh?
04:27Yes, well, I was starving.
04:29I haven't eaten since noon yesterday.
04:31So you weren't home last night?
04:33I was, but my wife wasn't.
04:36So no one did cook, huh?
04:37And I was too tired to do it myself, so I went to sleep and woke up half-starved.
04:42What's that you got there?
04:44It's a report about the murders in the Baynol Haramene Bazaar.
04:47We've got two bodies, a couple of witnesses, and no clues whatsoever as to who committed the murders.
04:53So nothing, really.
04:55A theft, maybe? Anything stolen?
04:57No, it seems like the motive was a personal one.
04:59Though, to be honest, we still have no idea of the exact nature of their relationship.
05:04We need to wait for Mr. Alavi.
05:06Isn't he in yet?
05:07No.
05:08I think he's with...
05:10Kazaruni on a mission or something.
05:12Kazaruni's not here too?
05:13Great.
05:14So I guess you're just gonna have to wait then, aren't you?
05:17Look, I'm telling you, that guy is the laziest person I know.
05:20I'll go make a call to the Bazaar police station.
05:22What for?
05:23I'm gonna tell them to bring in the witnesses so we can talk to them and start the investigation.
05:27We can't do anything today.
05:29All the police personnel have been deployed to two locations.
05:32The Shaw Mosque, where the funeral of Ayatollah Faye starts.
05:36And the rest around Parliament because of a debate that some cabinet members are supposed to attend over there.
05:42Oh, looks like there's nothing to it then.
05:45I guess we...
05:46Just...
05:47Sit back.
05:49And wait.
05:49Here you are.
06:10Two tourments, Mr. Elali.
06:11My brother-in-law in Beirut told me that my letters have, uh...
06:17Not been delivered to his address these past few months.
06:21How many letters were there?
06:22Six or seven, I think.
06:24And I haven't received my daughter's letters from there either.
06:27Has there been some problem with the postal service?
06:30We send an average of about a hundred letters abroad every day.
06:33But I'm afraid you're the first customer to complain about a failed delivery, Mr. Elali.
06:39Maybe check with the Lebanese postal authorities.
06:42Why should I check?
06:43That's part of your job.
06:44You're the postal service, not me, right?
06:46You're right.
06:47And we'll definitely follow up on the case.
06:49Just file your complaint first.
06:52And with whom should I lodge it exactly?
06:55The offers for foreign mails and deliveries.
06:57Don't worry, Mr. Elali.
06:58I'm quite certain they'll take care of this for you.
07:00All right, thank you.
07:03You're welcome.
07:10How can I help you, Saz?
07:12Please hand me the envelope Mr. Elali just handed you.
07:27And don't go telling anyone about this.
07:29Yes, sir.
07:30I won't say anything.
07:35Good morning, Hasmin.
07:36Hello.
07:38So then, the size is for my wife and daughters.
07:42The fabric sample they've selected.
07:44And the borrowed measuring tape.
07:47Is that everything?
07:49What about the style of the order?
07:51Just dresses, you know?
07:52What?
07:53We've got so many different types.
07:55Couldn't you just choose the style for me?
07:57All I want are some new dresses for them for New Year's Eve, all right?
08:00It makes no difference what style they are.
08:02Oh, all right.
08:03This fabric will cost you 18 reals per meter, all right?
08:08Well, the tailing charge will be 22 tomans.
08:11That is 10 for your wife's, plus 7 for your elder daughter's dress, okay?
08:16And plus another 5 for the little one's dress.
08:19How much in total, then?
08:20Oh, about 33 tomans.
08:22The only good part was the 18 reals price for the fabric.
08:26I still need to order clothes for myself, not to mention my mother-in-law, and two sons.
08:32You know, I guess I'm going to be broke after I order all these new clothes and stuff for this year's New Year's Eve.
08:38But don't you receive a New Year's bonus and benefits?
08:41What?
08:41Are you kidding me?
08:42With this bad economy and the new rules imposed by General Razmara, we'll be lucky just to get our full salary, let alone any kind of benefits.
08:50All right.
08:50Well, do you still want to order or not?
08:51Of course I do.
08:53I'm not so brave as to refuse my family's wants on New Year's.
08:57Here you are.
08:57I can pay for this now.
08:58You can pay later if you like.
09:00Oh, thanks.
09:01I think I'd better pay this amount now.
09:03Because if I don't pay at least something now, the debts will pile up.
09:07All right.
09:07I'll take this now.
09:08Good.
09:08Thank you, Hasmi-
09:09And please remember to bring your wife and daughters by next week for their fittings, all right?
09:14Can I maybe do the fittings myself as well?
09:17Are you joking?
09:18I'll need to see if the dresses fit them or not, Mr. Kazaruni.
09:21Right.
09:22Of course.
09:23Sure.
09:23I better go.
09:24I'm running a little late.
09:26All right, then.
09:26I'll see you later.
09:27Take care, sir.
09:28See you next week.
09:29Bye.
09:29Bye.
09:29Bye.
09:29Bye.
09:29Bye.
09:29Bye.
09:29Bye.
09:30Bye.
09:30Bye.
09:31Bye.
09:31Bye.
09:31Bye.
09:31Bye.
09:31Bye.
09:32Bye.
09:32Bye.
09:32Bye.
09:33Bye.
09:33Bye.
09:33Bye.
09:33Bye.
09:33Bye.
09:34Bye.
09:34Bye.
09:34Bye.
09:35Bye.
09:35Bye.
09:35Bye.
09:35Bye.
09:35Bye.
09:35Bye.
09:36Bye.
09:37Bye.
09:37Bye.
09:37Bye.
09:37Bye.
09:37Bye.
09:38Bye.
09:38Something wrong, Mr. Olavi?
10:08No, I was late because I had to go to the post office.
10:15Now, what's new, guys?
10:17The initial report about the murder in the Banal Harameen Bazaar.
10:21Could you take a look and tell us if we should do something more with this?
10:38For now, you should just continue with the normal procedure.
10:43You should try and find out who used to hold the key to the store and what the victims were doing there so late at night.
10:50Some end-of-the-year account balancing, I would think.
10:53That's not very logical. They could have done that during the day as well, or even at home.
11:00You need to talk to the family members as well.
11:03Interrogating the witnesses and the other businessmen from the Bazaar alone won't be enough.
11:09All right, sir.
11:10Sir.
11:22Hey! Where have you guys been?
11:27You're the one who comes to work late, and you're gonna question us for the same thing? Come on.
11:32That detective people used to dodge questioning, hm?
11:35Where are you guys off to now?
11:38We're going out on a mission. You came too late, now we have to shoulder your responsibility.
11:42I leave for two hours, and now suddenly you're acting as if all the crimes in the world happened during that time!
11:51Don't worry, buddy. We're just going to the bazaar.
11:56And while we're gone, you can complete those two files on your table.
11:59Anything else, sir?
12:01No, that's all. See you later.
12:02Have fun.
12:04See you later.
12:05Take care, guys.
12:08Bye.
12:09Bye.
12:10Bye.
12:12Bye.
12:14Wow, you can put it in.
12:21Bye.
12:22Bye.
12:23Bye.
12:27Bye.
12:28Bye.
12:30Bye.
12:31Bye.
12:32Bye.
12:33Bye.
12:34It's really crowded today.
12:49We'll wait and move to the bazaar when the cabinet members go inside the mosque.
12:53But still, it's going to take some time and we can pass through.
12:56But that way we'll have to show our cars to all the security officers.
13:04The General's coming through. Who's that guy with him?
13:12He must be Mr. Alon, the labor minister.
13:15Make room, please. Move back. Go further back, everyone.
13:21Step back, move it.
13:23Pull aside. Come on, the General's coming through.
13:26Further back.
13:34Get away from me!
13:56We're the prime minister's bodyguards.
13:58And we're the police.
14:00Give me the gun!
14:04This just in, Prime Minister Harjali Razmara,
14:11who'd attended the funeral ceremony in the late Ayatollah phase of the Shah Mosque,
14:15has been assassinated by an unknown gunman.
14:18Despite being immediately taken to Sina Hospital,
14:21the premier succumbed to the deadly gunshot wounds.
14:25The Usainer was arrested by security forces,
14:27but his accomplice who stabbed the premier's bodyguards managed to escape.
14:30We'll give you the latest updates on this tragic incident as soon as we get them.
14:35I repeat, the Prime Minister Harjali Razmara has been assassinated by an unknown gunman.
14:40The Usainer has been arrested, but his accomplice has managed to escape.
14:43More to come.
14:46Kordbache and I were standing here.
14:48As the Prime Minister came in, the attacker began shooting from right here.
14:51Then the Prime Minister's bodyguards behind him started to fire back,
14:55and the other security forces came in from this side.
14:58Mr. Sadri and I were quick to jump them because we thought they were attackers too.
15:03But then we found out they were the Prime Minister's bodyguards.
15:07How many attackers were there?
15:09There were two of them.
15:10One of them shot at Mr. Razmara,
15:12while the other one stabbed one of the bodyguards, wounding him,
15:15and then ran off and escaped.
15:16They didn't get the second guy.
15:18All right, now how about the case of the Bainal Haramain Bazaar?
15:25Here you are, sir.
15:26The report on our latest findings.
15:32Okay.
15:33Now before this file is completed,
15:36carry out a primary investigation on the circumstances of Razmara's assassination.
15:40Because I suspect it will soon be assigned with that job anyway.
15:46Mr. Sadri, find out.
15:48What you can about the attacker.
15:50And you, Kordbache, get to Sina Hospital.
15:53Find out how Mr. Razmara died.
15:56And what type of bullets were used in the attack.
15:59Yes, sir.
16:00Mr. Kazaruni,
16:01find out the type of weapon the assailant used.
16:05All right.
16:06Sure thing.
16:07I'll get the paperwork for the investigation from Mr. Afshar.
16:09This is a lovey.
16:18Yes?
16:20All right, sir.
16:23Yes, sir.
16:23I'll be there right away.
16:29Well, men, it seems we got the mission sooner than I expected.
16:33Colonel Afshar, right?
16:34That's right.
16:36That's right.
16:36That's right.
16:36That's right.
16:36That's right.
16:36That's right.
16:36That's right.
16:36That's right.
16:36That's right.
16:36That's right.
16:36That's right.
16:36That's right.
16:37That's right.
16:37That's right.
16:37That's right.
16:37That's right.
16:37That's right.
16:37That's right.
16:37That's right.
16:37That's right.
16:37That's right.
16:37That's right.
16:37That's right.
16:38That's right.
16:38That's right.
16:38That's right.
16:39That's right.
16:39That's right.
16:39That's right.
16:40That's right.
16:40That's right.
16:40That's right.
16:41That's right.
16:41That's right.
16:41That's right.
