"We travel from Grand Hotel in Tehran to the house of Khoshnevis in Mashhad." "Under Master Mozaffar's order, the six-fingered inspector imprisons Khoshnevis." "These are the days Iran is occupied by foreign powers." "August 1941." "The solution was Khoshnevis's tongue... which told the mysterious stories of his youth." "As the secret society decided... with the help of Reza... the chief of granary was assassinated." "The police department announces the assassination attempt unsuccessful... until the secret society is in no doubt about the murder." "The question asked from everyone, everywhere, was:" "Who fired the gun?" ""I was not there." "I did not see."" ""I do not know"." "Esmail Khan's funeral ceremony is held." "Statesmen show up to hide the fear from the congregation." "From the women's section, a bullet is shot towards the chest of the spokesman..." "Matin al-Saltaneh." "Shabun stops the police officers from entering the women's section." "Reza escapes the crime scene." "Everybody runs, except for the dead man." "Part Ten" "[Reciting an epic story]" "Quit it." "Tonight we have another storyteller and a new tale." "Get down." "Fellow citizens." "Matin al-Saltaneh is killed." "And he took a burden of betrayal and disloyalty with him." "We eliminated this treacherous man from the society... to serve this as an example for other traitors." "Shame on a nation who let outsiders and strangers criticize their own profits... out of their country." "We have no alternative but to find the statesmen and authorities qualified... based on how treacherous and disloyal they are." "It has been a while we have been busy studying and evaluating that." "We have totally realized how exactly each of these traitors have reached their evil goals." "My fellow citizens, the most experienced diplomats in our country... are those who carry out the ambitious and unjust orders of foreign agents and... political representatives of imperial powers in the best way and keep them pleased." "These people even introduce themselves as political heroes and saviors of the country." "My fellow citizens, now is the time to take action." "We shall no longer allow spies and traitors oppress our people and tyrannize our country." "The members of the punishment society have decided to make a great sacrifice." "They face every ordeal and take every risk in order to save their fellow citizens... from misery even if they have to sacrifice their own lives for that." "For that reason, we have taken action in order to provide our nation with..." ""prosperity and privileged circumstances."" "The first bullet of the society eliminated Esmail Khan... the actor of treachery and disloyalty." "This man was the chief of Tehran's granary who caused many people... to die under foreigners' order with a stage-managed fake famine in Tehran." "Therefore he deserved to be punished accordingly and buried together with his... insidious plans so he couldn't find his happiness in his compatriots' misery." "Now for the second time the society has accomplished a mission." "The punishment society has nothing to do with domestic and foreign political parties." "This is the first community in Iran that actually takes a non-subjective approach." "The only goal of the punishment society is eliminating traitors who serve foreigners... without paying attention to their positions." "The punishment society is determined to avenge the deaths of the innocent... from traitors and double agents." "All reformists who want their country to survive, should trust this society... as a means to uproot treachery and betrayal." "The punishment society would like for our compatriots to give away traitors... regardless of their positions." "The punishment society makes traitors understand that there's no place for... evil conspirators in our honorable country." "If you don't care about your country, have mercy on your mothers and kids." "Beware that crime and treachery can no longer be continued in the twentieth century." "In this century traitors and plotters are doomed to die and get eliminated." "When the senior ministers agreed to serve this country... not only they were knowledgeable about the country issues and the government... problems, but also they were well aware of the obstacles on their way... and knew that solving these problems was not possible without trying hard... and making efforts." "The only thing which encouraged the government to persist... was the thought of a nation that had learned its lesson from the past... and would support the government which would lead to reforms undertaken by it... in order to hold the national dignity." "For the reason that many heinous crimes have happened in recent months." "If these offenders assume that committing these crimes would lead to policy reforms... they should know that it is exactly the opposite." "There may be people who wish to validate their interests in the country... to portray a certain point which may cause the government to made decisions... contrary to people's expectations." "There is nothing else to say." "Thank you very much." "This is indeed priceless." "Thank you." " Goodbye." " Godspeed." " Thank you." " You are welcome." "Salt!" "Salt!" "Salt!" "Salt!" "Salt!" "I failed to recognize you." "This donkey and these outfits have something to do with our mission?" "Tomorrow is the most important day of our mission." " We are assassinating Luscinia." " Is this the last one?" "So you think there were only three traitors in this country?" "Of course this one is the leader of them." "Are you tired?" "Who is he?" "I do not know either." "The society uses a code for its name." "To the best of my knowledge, it is Luscinia." "Today, the members of the society shall let" "I will inform you tonight." "Knowing the enemy's name is necessary for concentrating on the job." "The traitor is addressed as Luscinia by the society." "Just concentrate on this Luscinia." "Here is the last payment." "Bring it." "It's just a bowl of roasted liver." "I told him." "He didn't agree." "Move." "At your service boss." "Here you go boss." "Roasted liver is so nutritious." " It's pure blood, makes you courageous." " So eat some as you need it, coward." "If that is the case, the sheep would have the guy's liver already." "At your service boss." "The job shall not be done." "Luscinia has heard about our intention." "He has paid the society for" "In other words, he has bought his life." "This place is safe tonight Kavous." "No worries." "The customers could be comfortable as always." "Here you are." "There have been two crimes committed in this area in broad daylight." "However, it seemed that everybody was asleep." "Do you know anything about the crimes Kavous?" "I have heard about them." "I sleep during" "How come you never ask anything from me?" "There is no need to ask questions when you already know the answers." "Your name is Reza." "Your father is Mostafa." "You were born in Tehran." "You are single and run no business." "You serve in Moayer al-Doleh's camp and make ends meet." "During the day, you spend time in the teahouse and at night... you are at Kavous's place." "You live amongst people and are trusted by them." "You never miss the mark." "You haven't been in high spirits for a while." "You do not talk much and never laugh your heart out." "You do not hang out with Moayer al-Doleh much as you have found a new friend." "He knows everything." "These could be told by every gypsy fortuneteller." "The chief of granary made his fellow citizens starve to death... so he could offer their food to foreigners." "So he deserved to get punished." "People pay the price for what they do, in the same world." "Reza makes unreasonable remarks at night as he drinks too much." "All right, that's enough." "What about Matin al-Saltaneh, that brave patriotic journalist?" "Have you ever read his newspaper," "Newspapers contain only written news." "The real news is among people." "Do not be stupid." "How do these people can hear the world news in this age of ignorance?" "The world news is about nothing but oppression and injustice." "It is quite unlike you to say such things." "They have put words into your mouth?" "I was busy hunting deer out there until somebody came to me and said:" ""Hunter, until when shall you hunt partridges and stags?"" ""Hunt something precious."" "Who was he?" "He has surely not appeared out of nowhere." "You must have seen his face." "And you must know his name." "Isn't he that new friend of yours?" "The sick man who coughs all the time?" "The man who has spoiled your mood?" "Reza, Shabun wants to talk to you." "He is waiting at the door." "Catch them." "Tie him up." "Quick." "Tie him up tight." "He is dangerous." "Tie him up tight." "Tighten the rope." "Music." "The society has decided to kill you." "What for?" "They have a compelling reason for that." "Reza is a drunkard who reveals the society's secrets when he is intoxicated." "The job is supposed to be done by" "Shabun and his gang." "Why are you telling me this?" "I shouldn't have." "But I just did." "I have given up my job in the secret society as it is moving in a different direction." "A wrong path." "I shall go to Tabriz with my wife and child at the earliest possible time." "We have to hide ourselves." "Should I run away as well?" "You will be caught no matter how far you get." "The only way for you to survive is to quit drinking." "You shall start a simple life in a faraway town with a new identity." "We do not have much time." "Bring me the gun." "I have to keep it in a safe place for now." "Are you leaving me defenseless?" "You don't need this anymore." "It shall only make you guilty." "Do you not regret dragging me into something foredoomed?" "We made a mistake." "I admit that." "But we cannot stop fighting for the fear of making mistakes." "Traitors must and will be eliminated." "This shall not stop by our departure." "Our experiences will be used by the next people." "We will be victorious even if this turns out to be an unsuccessful attempt." "We are worried out of selfishness as we wish to see the victory for ourselves." "Victory shall be witnessed even if we have plants grown in our eyes." "What should I hang on to?" "The members of the secret society have joined hands with Luscinia." "He has everybody except for me." "This is not what we wanted." "We came to grief." "Well, a bad tree does not yield good apples." "Is that true?" "Aslan came home and told me you want us to pack our things without delay... as we're headed to Tabriz." "Aslan never lies." "However, one cannot trust a kid." "I thought he might not have understood your words." "It is true." "Yet, a woman should take orders from her husband and not her child." "I came home late last night." "You were asleep." "So I told Aslan to give you the message." "You wait outside my dear." "I need to talk to your father." "Go." "It is true that as your wife," "I have to obey you." "But God knows I wouldn't like to go on this journey." "I appreciate your honesty." "But do not try to seek the truth." "However, honesty is always the best policy." "In this journey, I will not accompany you an Aslan." "Why are we moving back to Tabriz?" "In Tabriz, we have nothing but a cemetery full of the graves of our dear ones." "After your father and brothers were killed, mothers died of grief... and daughters got married." "And we left our hometown." "You are going on this journey without me." "You will go to Tabriz with Aslan." "I could not explain last night" "It has been a while you have either come home late or haven't come at all." "I was so restless last night." "I did not get a wink of sleep." "What has happened?" " You were awake as well?" " How can I sleep on a stormy sea?" "No worries." "It is nothing important." "I will not be curious if you don't want your wife to know." "My illness has gotten serious lately." "Aslan is fragile." "I'm afraid he gets the disease from me." "I want you to be away from me for a while." "I will start the treatment, get back on my feet and come to you." "You are too fussy I suppose." "You have separated your dishes and your room only because of coughing a little." "Now you want to separate your city as well?" "We have to tolerate this as long as it is best for Aslan." "I have talked to the physician." "He said I should get hospitalized." "And I wanted to tell my wife the truth." "I cannot leave my ill husband alone in this city." "I can send Aslan to my sister in" "Shiraz if this is about his health." "It is because of you as well." "You are still young." "Young and green." "Young and pretty" "If the treatment did not work, I will sell the shop and send you the money... as the marriage portion." "And if I have any savings left," "I will put it aside for Aslan." "Are you talking about a divorce?" "Yes." "Is it because of this disease?" "No." "No." "So we shall gather together again when you get cured." "I would like to get well completely, not partly." "I do not think I shall survive." "So you are departing this life." "Yes cousin." "Do not be unfair." "I am still your wife." "So call me Jeyran." "At this moment of farewell." "I will, when I come to say goodbye and see you off tonight." "Perhaps I am destined to have a relative dead in every city." "Tehran will have the grave of this cousin of mine." "Do not be unfair." "I'm still your husband and I'm alive." "So call me Abolfath." "I will, when you come to see us off tonight my dear cousin." "Tonight." "Do not hide it." "You were more conscious when intoxicated." "Seize the moment and reveal the secrets of the society." "Since these secrets have been revealed... the members have decided to eliminate the informer." "The talking bird of Kavous's place." "And I tend to shelter this bird." "I shall keep it in a cage to keep up the appearances... until the society members are arrested and punished." "Then I will let it go free willingly." "Keep your eyes open Reza." "Even if they are exonerated, your bold action... will be a great revenge from those who have decided to kill you." "The government will support you." "So will I. You have my word." "Shabun!" "Shabun!" "I broke the rope." "Let's go in." "Go in." "Welcome." "I have decided to go to" "Moayer al-Doleh's camp for hunting." "Nobody has the guts to mess with Shabun." "Yeah!" "Yeah!" "He surrendered." "Finished?" "Let's go guys." "Beat it."
