00:00But our main problem isn't just the system, it's the illiteracy.
00:03The ignorance that rules over our society.
00:06I agree. We have the most beautiful country, we have the most fertile land, intelligent and kind people.
00:12But we have never used what we have appropriately.
00:15The educated people like you are only thinking of business instead of educating the people.
00:22The people become poor and illiterate, and they always wait for a thug to come and take the place of
00:27another thug.
00:30My father always says something. He says a sick nation always creates a sick government.
00:35It's the end of it, brother. We have to first screw ourselves. Us. The people.
00:41Oh, you say the people as if you're living in the middle of Europe, brother.
00:51Nada is right, you know.
00:53Which people? Tell me, who are you talking about?
00:56There's none of the people left. Just a bunch of poor, uneducated, addicted and sick nobodies who don't know the
01:01difference from right or wrong anymore and can't do anything.
01:05If they're going to tell it about, then who can?
01:07Maybe the men who emptied out the arms depots and disarmed the soldiers and then let foreign soldiers into the
01:12country.
01:13Yes, I agree. I think if you educate these people, the world will be a better place.
01:19What do you think, Mrs. Isfandari?
01:21Me?
01:23I don't know anything about politics.
01:26You don't know about politics or you don't want to upset your husband?
01:30Who, me?
01:34The things you say, Miss Lely.
01:36All we are saying is that in this rotten country, when men enter politics, women should step aside.
01:41So if God forbid something happens, she can step in and take care of the children.
01:49Politics and stuff like that is all just talk.
01:52Our people aren't made for stuff like that, you know.
01:55Countries... Countries like us don't have any other choice but to hang on to the strong country.
02:01Well, we're hanging on to Britain now.
02:03Then what seems to be the problem?
02:05Come on. No, it's different, brother.
02:07This old fox is not trustworthy.
02:10They just want to take everything. I mean everything.
02:12And they're not satisfied and we're not hanging on to it.
02:16It won't back off.
02:18And that's where Germany enters the scene.
02:20A country that can guarantee our sovereignty and independence.
02:27Either Germany or the U.S.
02:29Of course, Mayor, to tell you the truth, I'd prefer the second one.
02:35Because they're better businessmen, actually.
02:38But, well, we'll have to wait and see.
02:40Who's ever the donkey, we'll take the ride.
02:42And whoever's the horse, we'll ride the...
02:55You mean you are prepared to work alongside murderous racists?
03:00You have two mistakes, lady dear.
03:04You get a C, Miss Lely, and I'd like to say well done.
03:07Racist and murderous are just too rhetoric, to be very honest.
03:11All of them are racist and murderous when necessary.
03:14And they keep playing the innocent victim when it suits them.
03:18Why?
03:19Because they're good merchants.
03:20Or what else they really want is the whole thing.
03:27Excuse me, Colonel.
03:28Please, may I say something?
03:33Okay, I'd say whatever you want.
03:36Well done, Oda.
03:38You're certainly right about what you say.
03:41But if you're a human being and have the power to make decisions,
03:46you'll understand that no one will pick up weapons
03:49and march halfway across the world just to help us.
03:54That's not being realistic.
03:57They will only if there is something to gain, something good.
04:02That's that.
04:26That's what I'm saying.
08:25Why aren't you sleeping?
08:30I was praying too.
08:34It's something that I learned from my mother.
08:39When I tell God about my troubles, it somehow makes me feel better about everything.
08:48It really comforts me.
08:55Has a lot been troubling you?
09:02I suffer from my heart, I suffer from all this lack of spiritual values.
09:08I suffer from all this lack of spiritual values.
09:28I don't like the people surrounding me, it's as if all their evil thoughts are poisoning my spirit.
09:49Do you want to go back?
10:13It's almost as if...
10:16I was in love with the people of the Soviet Union without wanting any in return.
10:24But in this short time, I've changed so much.
10:33It's only your love that keeps these terrible thoughts away from me.
10:39really?
10:43Yeah.
10:45Yeah.
10:48Yeah.
10:49Your handsome face.
10:51Your look so full of love is like the cure I need for this broken heart of mine.
11:01Your heart is pure.
11:04Untainted.
11:07Every time I feel pain and suffering, I only have to think of your smile.
11:16And it calms me down.
11:20Forgive me for causing you so much pain and suffering.
11:25You are all the good things that I've put together in my dreams my entire lifetime.
11:32Just a look from you can take away all the scary thoughts that I have.
11:38Lately, since the day I saw you, you've filled me up with life again.
11:44Maybe I'm being conceited, but I think that God must really love me to have brought you into my life.
11:52Being with you makes all the pain in the world tolerable for me.
12:04Are you crying?
12:10No.
12:12I'm happy.
12:14Your voice, it takes away all the doubts that I have.
12:25I was scared.
12:28I was tired.
12:31Crying helps me feel better.
12:35When I see all these shameless people express their views behind closed doors.
12:47Do you understand what I mean?
12:54Do you hear me?
12:57Yes.
12:58I heard you.
13:04I reflect on these unfortunate thoughts.
13:05Well, I wish we could leave this place.
13:10Where to? Where can we go?
13:15Somewhere far.
13:17Very far.
13:20Somewhere where no one knows who we are.
13:25Can we?
13:30Yes, we can.
13:32Tonight? Can we right now?
13:41Can we?
13:47We have to wait.
13:54Wait.
14:13Goddammit, it never stops.
14:17Don't complain so much. Hurry up. They'll be here any moment.
14:20All this preparation, Captain. All this hard work. It's not as if a king is coming.
14:26The hell with these goddamn foreigners.
14:28Don't let it get to you, brother.
14:30We should give them poison.
