03:13Mr. Haydar!
03:18Mr. Haydar!
03:37Mr. Haydar
03:38Dian
03:38Mr. Hussain
03:38Mr. Haydar
03:46Mr. Haydar
03:57Let's go.
04:37So you can't sleep either, my dear?
04:45I want to sleep.
04:49But I just can't.
05:19Where are you going, my girl?
05:24I'm going to tell Bayram to prepare the car.
05:29At this time of night?
05:32Tell me where you want to go.
05:36I want to travel the dark and cold streets outside.
05:45Maybe I will be rid of these nightmares.
05:54Some of our nightmares are shared by both of us.
06:00You come as well.
06:07Dear Aunt.
06:11Yes?
06:14Why did the government do it?
06:16Why did they ban and forbid Tazia?
06:21The less experience people have, the worse they are in their actions.
06:27Upstarts and all lowly commoners.
06:30Like this boot-wearing Cossack, because they have no honorable pass.
06:34Have no choice but to satisfy their needs by destroying old traditions and inanely putting value in a future which
06:45has no ties to the past whatsoever.
06:48However, and I mean no past at all, my dear, unfortunately, some educated members of our family in the name
07:00of revival are following in his path and following it with dedication.
07:09People who have not in the slightest inherited our family's honor, which is quite a shame, don't you think?
07:20Most of them do not have our pure blood.
07:24They may have some Kajar blood, but then it has been diluted through the passage of time with lower strength.
07:36Which means, which is not of ours, my dear, not of ours at all, I'm afraid.
07:43So that is why you don't wish to see all those people, I mean those branches of the family, my
07:49dear aunt.
07:50Mm-hmm.
07:52But do not forget that it is the weight of those, the weight of those in the government which stops
07:58it from finally confiscating all our property.
08:03Yes, but as you know very well, my dearest niece, it didn't stop suitors from coming for our property under
08:10the pretense of marrying you.
08:12They were only after your inheritance and nothing else.
08:16For example, that Colonel Dharmanesh.
08:20It was robbed of his life.
08:22For unknown reasons.
08:26To tell you the truth, the answer to the question of who killed the Colonel, and for what reason, and
08:34the reason of the strange disappearance of my other previous suitors, has bothered me for a very long time.
08:41They disappeared, because they were ashamed of the fact that they had turned down the Kajar coffee ceremony.
08:49Let's talk about Colonel Dharmanesh, though.
08:52Remember what that Inspector Mobrez told us when he came the other day to pay us a visit?
08:59He said that maybe another suitor might be involved.
09:04Perhaps somebody who doesn't want anyone else to get you.
09:11Someone who wants you all to himself, my dear.
09:18Such a probability only makes my thoughts even more confused.
09:23Then why?
09:25Why doesn't he show himself, then?
09:28Maybe he has done exactly that.
09:30For example, the last one.
09:32I forget his name.
09:33Hey, Dhar.
09:39But he doesn't seem like the type of man that would do such a thing as that.
09:43Or maybe one of those previous ones, who has, as you said, completely, completely disappeared.
09:52Is it possible that there is someone in this world, other than you, who wants me for myself, and who
10:02sees me for who I really am?
10:10The rain has stopped.
10:11But we should take a walk.
10:16Park the car somewhere, Bey-Rama.
10:19Of course, Princess Tajol-Mulok.
10:25The men of our times are capable of saying and doing anything to obtain the woman they want.
10:33They will make you believe, without a doubt, that they are the prince riding on a white horse who has
10:40come to save you.
10:42But right when you least expect it, you will suddenly realize that all the things that we women value, such
10:49as love and kindness and life, for them are just meaningless and useless words which have no value for them.
10:58Do you understand me, my girl?
11:02Of course, I understand, dear aunt.
11:05But I want to be able to make one exception among all the other men.
11:12Who is this man?
11:15Mr. Haydar, the Tazie actor.
11:20When you weren't in the country, there was that horrible event, which has become the source of my nightmares, and
11:29I wanted to make sure you knew how that brave man, by sacrificing his own life, was able to save
11:38my life.
11:42No, I was not here.
11:46My husband had taken me abroad with himself.
11:51A man who, even after so many years, makes me so sick I can't even utter his name.
12:02Maybe that Tazie actor saved you for selfish reasons of his own.
12:10Maybe he thought to himself, if people found out that he had not saved a 12-year-old girl, and
12:17had run away in order to save himself, that people would speak extremely poorly of him, and his reputation would
12:24be ruined.
12:26Dear aunt.
12:28Forgive me, dear girl.
12:32But believe me when I say that men's thoughts are always more complicated than they show.
12:39If the selfishness of all men is like, like the selfishness of Mr. Haydar, the Tazie actor.
12:46I don't know about you, but I personally would have no problems with such men as him.
12:55That very brave man, may he rest in peace, sacrificed his life for me.
13:01That is the biggest sacrifice that one person can make for another person.
13:06That's what I think.
13:07But all of your handsome and gallant suitors weren't able to think for even a few minutes about the suggestion
13:15of a Kajar coffee ceremony.
13:19They all quickly said no.
13:21They couldn't even think about giving up their precious lives.
13:28Well, at least, they succeeded in putting a smile on the lips of the residents of our cold and quiet
13:36house.
13:40To be honest, dear aunt, I wouldn't mind doing the same with my latest suitor.
13:46This one is different, Farol Zaman.
13:49The others at least had names, and they had titles as well.
13:53But this mere peasant is not even the slightest bit worthy.
13:57He does not even approach the level of worthiness of taking part in a Kajar coffee ceremony.
14:02I have something else planned for this unusual suitor.
14:06All that you have to do is just agree.
14:10And leave the rest of this new game to your niece.
14:13Can you do that?
14:16Of course.
14:18If this new and exciting game will keep you entertained for a while, it shall most definitely be interesting for
14:26me, too.
14:28Now tell me, what is your plan?
14:33How much time is left until the month of Muharram?
14:43What are you thinking of?
14:46Hmm?
