"Just like a teacher who has a second job after class." "That teacher has financial problems." "Do you have the same problem?" " The wedding has its costs." " The wedding has its costs." " Meisam, I am serious." "Your question is really funny." "I wonder what is strange about a university professor doing research in his free time?" "Other professors don't have bodyguards." "It was taken care of." "No bodyguard any more." "You are erasing the question instead of answering it." "If having a bodyguard is a necessity, not having one is dangerous." "But my problem is why are you working somewhere that endangers your life!" "?" "You have heard the answer a million times from the media." "You said you hated politics." "I'm not doing anything political it is scientific." "You'll become a pond in their political games." "OK." "I'm a pond." "What is your solution?" "Tell me what should we do?" " Let's leave this country." " Let's leave this country." " Where to?" "Somewhere we can walk together without fear and think about our future." "Somewhere we don't have to hide in fear of being killed." "By God it is my dream to do my research beside you in serenity." " But where is that place?" " But where is that place?" " If you say so they will invite you most willingly." "...they will invite you most willingly." " They can't buy me out." " They know your value." " They know your value." " OK what is my price?" "...what is my price?" " I don't know." "Ask your friends who have emigrated." "They have their own price." "I haven't auctioned myself yet." "You'll have to sooner or later." "You're the only person forcing me right now." "I'm not afraid of the one who wants to kill me but losing you would be unbearable." "...but losing you would be unbearable." " I'm saying this for your own sake." "We're not safe here anymore." "You'll have to accept to have cameras even in your bedroom." "Your phones will be tapped." "It will be so difficult to socialise with friends and relatives that they will leave us and we can't leave the country." "We'll be like the exiled." "Iran will become like a cage for us." "Who's told you all this?" "I've thought about it myself." " Who did you consult?" " Who did you consult?" " Are you doubting me?" "No." "Ask your consultants how much the price of their freedom is." "I don't know!" "I just know that I neither can, nor want to be like your mother." " I'll give you a lift." " I'll give you a lift." " Won't you finish your coffee?" "No." "I miss my mother!" "Return to the Protection Unit." "What about this genius?" "We'll see." "I'll be there for him." "Hello." "Hello." "Hello." "Dad?" "!" "Won't you come in?" "No, Hail-i" "Here you are." "Rest a bit." " Go in peace." " Go in peace." " Goodbye." "Why doesn't dad come in?" " Please, Heidar." " Please, Heidar." " Hello." "Hello." " Why are you so wet?" " Why are you so wet?" " I went to the pool!" "My God!" " We have guests." " We have guests." " Who?" "You must see her." "Get changed." "Get changed." " He'll be a minute." " He'll be a minute." " Hello, Mr Zabihi." "Hello." "Mrs Zarrin?" "Long time no see!" "What a memory!" "See?" "He is still smart." "But I don't think he remembers my son." "Your son?" "Meisam?" "Well done!" "Meisam Zarrin?" "Engineer Meisam Zarrin?" "The boy you protect." "Engineer is Seyyed Mirza's son?" "I found your address with difficulty." "There is a lot to say." "We must sit and talk and Heidar must get changed." "No, it is late." "I've come because of Meisam." "Sure." "What can I do for you?" "Coincidentally, I heard from Meisam that you protect him." " Meisam has recognized me?" " Meisam has recognized me?" " Yes." "From this photo." "We have one too." "Everybody in the photo has a copy." "Remember the signatures on the back?" "Yes." "We promised each other that whoever was martyred would intercede for the others on judgment day." "That promise lacks something." "You didn't discuss the duties of those who stayed." "Brother I gave my youth for Seyyed Mirza and I'd give my life for his son." "Thank God he can now make his father proud." "But I'm afraid they might take him from me too." "I haven't come here to complain." "I've just come to say not to get tired with his son's bitterness." " [ Gesturing obedience] Certainly." " [ Gesturing obedience] Certainly." " Thank God!" "I can sleep in peace now." "You are leaving?" " It is late." " It is late." " Won't you stay?" "Heidar?" "I don't want Meisam to know, I was here." "Rest assured." "God be with you." "Goodbye." " Stay more, Mrs Zarrin." " Stay more, Mrs Zarrin." " Thank you." " After so many years." " After so many years." " Thank you." "Ali, get UP" " Follow him." " Follow him." " Get off." "I have a visual." "This genius is playing hide-and-seek with us." "Don't back down." "Do your job and don't nag!" "I saw him." "He's playing with us!" "He disappeared again." "Elias, Abbas, Ahmad." "Bad news!" "Engineer Zarrin won Heidar's squad has lost despite a three man advantage." "He's already home!" "End of the corridor on the left." "It is the child who lost his eye." " Hello." " Hello." " Hello." " Please accept my humble gift." " Please accept my humble gift." " Thank you, Doctor." "Thank you, Doctor." "Forgive us." "We weren't good hosts for you." "It isn't worthy of you." "Hello, Doctor." " Hello." "Welcome." " Hello." "Welcome." " Hello." "Here you are." "The student has become the master!" "Sit, dear." "How are you doing?" "Where are you working now?" "I'm sorry, I mustn't be seen." "Mustn't be seen?" "Yes, Doctor." "Don't let them take photos, please." "Yes, Doctor?" "Tell them to delete..." "All of it?" "All right, don't worry." "Thank you." "Don't, please." "So you mustn't be seen." "Yes." "It means you've reached high places." "Thank you." "I was always proud of you." "But politics took you from us." "No, Meisam." "I am a soldier." "I stand guard were they tell me to go." "God bless you!" "Where are your bodyguards?" "You'll be surprised to know." "Heidar?" "Yes." "Heidar Zabihi?" "Great." "Doctor is fine now and I must tidy up my room." "Would you like to see what I've collected?" "I am at work." "I thought you'd come to visit the Doctor." "Close the door." "I can hold an exhibition with these photos." "And call it, Heidar Hero of the Bygone Era." "You must be happy Dr Solati is fine." "You aren't happy?" "I'll be happy when the truth is as clear as this screen." "What are you looking for?" "You!" "I was right there, sir." "So why weren't you martyred?" "Martyred?" "!" " Are you joking with me, or with the martyrs?" " Are you joking with me, or with the martyrs?" " Don't evade the question!" "If you suspect me request an expert opinion to see whether what I did was right or wrong." "They wouldn't understand what I'm after." "Tell me what you want and I'll help you." "Heidar Heidar, Ashrafi!" "Why aren't you on, Heidar?" "Report your location." "I invited him for a short chat." "Is it a personal or official invitation?" "I have nothing personal to say to anyone." "My men are not allowed to talk to anybody unofficially." "Please request officially with seal and signature." "Will you?" "I know some shrapnel is still near the Doctor's spleen and he is going to have a hard and dangerous operation." "So what is this show for?" "Dr Solati wants to see you." "What are you worried about?" "You, obviously." "Don't worry, I'm fine." "Thank God!" "Sit then!" "I must go to the genius." "Never mind him." "You'll return to Dr Solati." " What?" " What?" " Sit down." "You said you are fine?" "Why do you want to ruin it?" "Because Dr Solati likes you." "He was telling me "I'm not dead yet and want my chief protector?"" " And you accepted?" " And you accepted?" " Yes." "I have my own problems." "I can't bicker with people all daylong." " But I told you everything." " But I told you everything." " And I helped you." "Now it is your turn to help me." " Then let me choose my last mission." " Then let me choose my last mission." " Last mission!" "I've heard this genius kid has had his way with you." "You like him humiliating you?" "I'm just finding myself let me choose this last one." "...let me choose this last one." " Heidar." "Your photos are in the inspector's room he is after you." "...he is after you." " Ashrafi!" "No." " It isn't to your benefit." " It isn't to your benefit." " My benefit?" "My benefit yours, the Unit's." "The Doctor's benefit too." "Who knows?" "He might become the president." "So what?" "What does that have to do with me?" "You thought I want to become his minister?" "I'll overlook this snide remark." "I can't come." "You're disobeying orders." "Look how many stars are left you strip off the rest!" "Heidar!" "Come back!" "I must talk to you." "Heidar!" "Heidar!" "Look at me!" "Heidar!" "Calm down!" "It is over." "It is over." "Raziyyeh?" "I'm here." "Look at me." "Next stop, Tajrish." "Hello, madam." "Hello, Mr Zabihi." "What a coincidence!" "Come in, mother." "This is not a coincidence." "It is called following and protecting but it's become following and pestering!" "Meisam!" "I'd come to Seyyed Mirza to complain about your son." "I'll tell you because Seyyed has invited you too." "He doesn't consider me worthy of following him." "...worthy of following him." " Don't say that, sir." "See, dad?" "See, dad?" "They don't let us be alone even in this cave." "You are late, Mirza's friend!" "You are late, father's friend!" "Meisam!" "You were too busy to see us grow up." "He is here now." " Why don't you let him protect you?" " Why don't you let him protect you?" " I've come all the way on my own I don't want to be indebted to anybody." " I asked him." " I asked him." " You shouldn't have." "For your mother's sake." "Don't say no." "The Seyyed Mirza we knew was very forgiving." "Meisam is forgiving like his father." "Meisam!" "My presentation today is on the uncertainty of parameters in the modeling of the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant." "Why have I chosen this topic?" "Because boosting the safety of this power plant and other reactors is very important for me." "As we all know many parameters are significant in the analysis." "These parameters are so important that if they are not properly controlled they can cause a catastrophe." "They can increase the maximum temperature of the core to the melting point or the explosion point." " Are you ready?" " Are you ready?" " Yes, Heidar." "I'm very busy." "But it is necessary for you." "I know this game." "If your protection team is going to be smaller you must be a pan of it too." "Oh, mother!" "I wish I'd gone mute and hadn't asked if you remembered Heidar Zabihi!" "What would you tell your father if he was sitting in my place here?" "All I have from my father, is a picture, and the many stories my mother has told me." "Just suppose." "I'd tell him the girl who was sitting in your seat left me as soon as she found out my life is in danger." "You are an oaf, boy!" "Is what I'd say if I was your father!" "I'd say: "That girl was sitting in your class all day." "How come you don't understand what that means?"" " Well, she is my student." " Well, she is my student." " Student?" "She was staring at you for two hours!" "I can't believe you if I don't see it in your eyes." "What about now?" "Maryam!" "He'll be upset when he wakes up." "She is snoring so loud!" "NEWSCASTER:" "The Vice President who had been wounded in a suicide attack in Baluchistan last week was martyred at the hospital today despite the doctors' efforts." "A number of our Baluch compatriots were martyred in the attack too." "At ease." "Sorry!" "Do your job." "I saw this instant in the films and photos." "Show me the moment of the blast." "Well?" "The Doctor was struggling and I was watching the attacker." "When he shouted I knew it was a sign and aimed at his forehead." "What was the Doctor's position?" "I couldn't see his face." "When I noticed the attacker fell down but didn't explode I was watching around because they don't usually attack alone." "I was looking around when he suddenly exploded." "[Heidar praying behind Ayatollah Khamenei]" "I think it was like this." "Mr Heidar!" "The way I see it you used the official as your shield." "We are talking about a bodyguard who had to sacrifice his life to save the official but used him as his shield to protect himself in time of danger." "This is a big crime, Mr Zabihi!" "Why are you quiet, Heidar?" " They are questioning your lifelong service." " They are questioning your lifelong service." " Mr Ashrafi!" "Brother, you are going the wrong way." "Heidar's generation knows no fear." "Heidar is as fearless as the terrorist who attacked him." "The key to the blast is somewhere else." "We must look for the key." "The owner of this mosque (God) is witness that you did all that you could." "I'll wait for you here." "Go!" "Hello." "If I'm going to sacrifice my dearest asset my life I must know the reason." "You didn't realize the reason all the years you were being paid?" "Getting paid!" "?" " You mean banknotes?" " You mean banknotes?" " No!" "Getting paid with the honor of protecting the system's officials with your life." "I've been chief protector of more than 100 officials so far." "I know very well what the system is, who's an official what is sacred, what is not sacred." "My dear!" "Times have changed." "Your duty hasn't changed." "We'd better say you have changed, colonel." "When in time of danger you sacrifice what is sacred, instead of being sacrificed for it it indicates a son of ideological weakness." "It means danger for the system!" "That is very unfair." "Heidar has saved many lives and has been thanked by every single one of them." "Heidar is neither the first nor the last person." "OPEN your eyes!" "I'm afraid of the day that this ship is pierced." "Mr Ashrafi!" "I need to talk to you." "Hello." "Hello." "You've been suspended." "Until it is resolved, you can't retire nor can you go to work." "Can I get out?" "I'm sorry again." "Nothing can be done." " I want to get out." " I want to get out." " You can't get a taxi here." "Heidar." "All right!" "You must have some nerve to come here!" "I don't have such willpower." "I saw your student." "You know she is here?" "Congratulations!" "This oaf knows a trick or two." "Heidar!" "Your gun." "I thought it over." "I want to quit." "You worked so hard and went through so much, and this is how they thank you." "I won't let my daughter marry a man who makes his job a plaything of his wife!" "I must see your mother." "Don't tire yourself I told her what's happened." "No, I must talk to her." "OK." "Folk song:" "Heidar Baba, the world has become a falsehood, a myth, a fib whoever entered the world left it without success." "Heidar Baba, the world has become a falsehood, a myth, a fib even the long lives of Noah and Solomon ended whoever entered the world left empty handed." "Even Plato was left with nothing." "The world has become a falsehood..." "What happened?" "Bomb!" "A bomb!" "Open the door!" " Open the door!" " Open it!" "Open it!" "Bomb!" "Open it!" "Open it!" "Bring the extinguisher!" "Hurry!" "My head!" "Heidar!" "Heidar!" "Heidar Baba the world is a lie..." "Why are you watching?" "Call an ambulance." "Heidar!" "Heidar!" "Why did you do this?" "Why?" "Your father would have done the same thing." "Heidar!" "Sahar!" "My Heidar!" "Don't move me." "." "Easy" " Easy." " All right." "I'm sorry." "I hurt you a lot." "Heidar!" "Don't talk." "Don't talk." "I am with you." "You'll get well." "Do you hear me?" "My Heidar!" " Raziyyeh?" " Raziyyeh?" " Yes, darling?" "Yes, darling?" "I want to sleep." "Heidar!" "Don't sleep!" "No!" "Heidar!" "Heidar!" "Wake up!" "I beg you, don't!" "Don't sleep!" "For Raziyyeh's sake, don't!" "Let me sleep a wink." "Heidar!" "Don't sleep!" "Remember you said you'd retire and we'd grow old together?" " Have you forgotten?" " Have you forgotten?" " Raziyyeh?" "Darling?" "I'm cold."
