"What's wrong Professor?" "Are you all right?" "Nobody move!" "If you do anything foolish, I'll kill you." "Hey you, stand up!" "I said move!" "Move on!" "Henrik has escaped." "We should find him." "Reza Fazeli..." "Nancy Kovack" "ALMAAS 33 [Diamond 33]" "Henrik, there's no way out!" "Written and Directed by Darius Mehrjui" "Get lost!" "Formula, ready." "Flight 18." "Saturday." "Tehran's Airport. 10:30 AM." "Linda." "It's not difficult to guess why the counter espionage office has summoned me." "I haven't worked for them in 5 years." "But it happens that they need some of their previous spies to be called back on duty." "It was 3 years ago that Professor Plus discovered the formula of turning oil into diamond" "Since then, we've been experimenting in various old fields around the world." "Finally Plus discovered that RX is a substance existing in one of the oil fields of Iran... which can serve as the catalyst to convert alloy ...changing metal's atom to diamond's atom" "We wanted to use the wealth earned from this discovery to establish a new currency and print a new note 100 times more valuable than any other note in the world." "This goal shouldn't be forgotten, even if the professor is now killed by Sax's people." "Come on in!" " Good afternoon" " Good afternoon" " Well, Mrs. Lerkis..." "I'm sure you are aware of the tragic death of your uncle." "Why did you ask me here?" "My attitude didn't impress him at all." "These counterintelligence people always go straight to the point." "3 days after your trip to Rome, the Professor was Killed in Tehran by Sax's people." "And the day after, Henrik was killed by Lafia's people." "This officer knew everything:" "Sax got the formula and he has killed the Professor." "Lafia's people arrive in the gym when it's already too late" "So they take away Professor's assistant, Schmidt hoping to get the formula from him." "This information wasn't new to me." "And the officer was wasting his time." "And then he mentioned the telegram sent to me by Henrik..." "No need for medicine." "Bad accident for Beras." "And right after this, you buy your ticket." "Flight 18, Saturday, Tehran's Airport, 10:30 AM." "What are you trying to prove?" "He says no need for medicine, and you say the medicine is ready." "Why?" "They know everything." "Of course, it's not just any medicine." "I'm in Rome to find a substance called GF33 and take it to Tehran to the Professor." "Without GF33, no diamonds can be made." "He not only knew this, but he also knew that I was hiding that in a small, red bottle." "So I had no choice but to obey." "You should fly to Tehran according to the plan." "And wait for Lafia's men?" "Absolutely!" "You should find the formula and pass it to Interpol." "You speak perfect Farsi, And you've lived there for six years." "Plus, you're not alone on this." "The Iranian police will protect you at every stage of the way." "You should infiltrate in one of the gangs." "And gain their confidence." "No point in resisting." "I should do it for the sake of my uncle." "I wish you luck in dealing was Sax and Lafia." "Good luck" "I'll do my best..." "Bye!" "What's going on here?" "You steal my fare?" "Hi!" "Look what they're doing." "It's not good doing it in front of the airport." "I've been in the line here for 2 hours and this bastard just came and skipped the queue." "Everybody back to work!" "Take away their keys and fire them." "Mr. Reza, there is nobody in the office to replace the drivers." "OK, you take one can and I'll take the other." "Look at this gorgeous thing!" "Let me take you." "Coming, coming!" "Please let me take it." "Don't worry!" " She hired a cab." " Follow her!" " We have to chase her." " I should have killed her on the spot." "Now tell me where should I take you?" "You know it better!" "You speak Farsi?" "!" "You jackass!" "He was crazy." "You didn't tell me your destination." "Hilton Hotel, please!" "Can take you to my humble place if you like." " What?" " How about me hosting you tonight?" "Don't take it seriously." "I meant..." " They want to kill me." " Why should they kill a babe like you?" "What's going on here?" "Look what they did to my car!" " We'll approaching a detour." "Turn to the right!" " How come you know these roads so well?" " Turn!" " I'm turning!" "We should ask other agents to block the road from the other end." "OK, give that to me." "Get the girl!" "Where are you taking her you bastards!" "We've brought the girl." "She's here." " Do you happen to know her?" " No, sir, I don't." "Keep working!" "A comb... and... a bankbook... lipsticks...and a red bottle" "Pass it on!" "What is this?" "It's for my hair." "I'm suspicious of your hair." "In fact, I'm suspicious of everything in you." "That's all, sir." "You are the enemy of our diamonds." "Professor Lance's niece." "A CIC agent." "And a collaborator of those dirty Saxes." "You're misinformed." "I've no connection with Saxes." " You are lying." " I'm not." "I'm here to visit my mother's family." " You're lying again." "We knew you were coming." " How?" "Our agents were expecting you." "Two hours before you landed." "You are mistaken." "Believe me!" "Mistaken?" "You shouldn't keep repeating that." "What do you have to say about this?" "Henrik Robertson's picture." "He is my father's friend." "Ah, a friend?" "!" " You tell her!" " Henrik Robertson is the most dangerous... international spy and a CIC agent, and..." " What happened?" " A power cut." "Go and fix it now!" " What if you've lied to us?" " You should make up your mind." "You should leave me free and give me 600 thousand dollars." "It's not easy laying my hand on that formula." "No more compromises...and 600 thousands in cash." "The Central Police Headquarters" "Make a report of this gentleman's complaint." "Don't forget the details of the date, place and the people who were there." "I assure you that we'll enquire this." "I think I know this blonde." "Watch this guy closely." " We might need him in future." " You think he will be useful to us?" "Hi!" "I can't talk much." "They are watching me." "Thank you so much for your help." "Come to club Pishin at 9 tonight." "Have to talk to you." "And ne very careful." " Why they did this to you?" " How should I know?" "I took the wheel today." "And there was this blonde passenger." "The girl had some problems." " Then some people crashed into my car." " What happened to her?" "They took her away by force." "I thought she was dead." "But then I saw her alive and smiling outside the police Station." "And she started thanking me!" "And she wants to see my tonight." " What's wrong with her?" " I don't know." "We've been engaged for a year, but it seems you don't want to marry me." "You always get into fights." "And now you've found yourself a blonde." "I can't take it anymore." "Don't exaggerate!" "What kind of affection is this?" "You hear what I said." "Hope you enjoy your clubbing tonight." " Hello!" " You've kept me waiting for two hours." " Reza, I have to tell you many things." " And I have to ask you many things." "What do you fancy?" "When you have rendezvous with a lady, you shouldn't start before her." "And when you have rendezvous with a gentleman you shouldn't be 6 hours late!" "A shot of cognac for me please." " A bottle of best cognac for her!" " No, only one single!" "Alright then, bring a bottle and a single." "You should not attract attention." " No empty tables here." "Please go upstairs." " What can I get you?" " What should I do?" " Just stay calm." "Just a drink for now." " How about some arak?" " No, thank you." "Are you sure you haven't been followed?" "If only I lay my hands on them again." "You can't fight them alone." "They're too many." "Then will you take care of it for me?" "No, I need your help." "They've killed my uncle." "Very welcome!" "May I?" "He is not dead." "So you wanted to send me to the bottom of the valley, heh?" "Hi!" "Look at that birdie!" "I'm losing my patience with you." "Speak up!" "O daughter of the King of genies!" "I have passed through 70 deep valleys and 70 mountains... and beheaded 70 monsters until I found the golden bergamot." "Now it's cold." "It is snowing." "It is snowing." "It is snowing." "O brave shah, don't be indignant!" "I desire no golden bergamots." "That was not my wish." "You didn't want the...thing?" "Descend upon me." "Come on, descend!" "Save me!" "They've destroyed everything." "Nothing is left in one piece." "That's him." "He started it." "Look at my imported furniture!" "It's all his fault." "You follow us please!" "I believe you are lying." "The owner of the cabaret is someone else." "Please go in there." "The guy who caused trouble in the cabaret is here." "Follow him." "He'll lead us to Linda." " Don't lose him." " Yes, sir." "So after all it's not that hard to get at the formula" "No!" "No!" "No!" "Warning!" "Make way!" "It seems that he's looking for something." "Bring him in here!" "Let me take care of him." "Don't let him get into our laboratory." "These bloody Saxes!" "Take care of them quickly!" "Move on!" "Look what mess you got us into." "It didn't draw nicely." "They've kidnapped my mother." "She must be somewhere here." "You two go that way." "Bring him closer!" "Who's he?" "We found him at Lafia's." "But we couldn't find the girl." "I think he knows about the diamonds." " Tell me everything you know." " I just know I shouldn't be here." "He pretends that he doesn't know." "Let me go back to my work." "I have nothing to tell you." " I'm dashing off." " Don't hurry, bud." "So you work together, right?" "Come closer!" "Where is GF 33?" "Are you deaf?" "I don't know what you're talking about." " Then what were you doing at Lafia's?" " Looking for my mother!" "Who's his mother?" "What mother?" "You mean the woman you brought in is his mother?" "Tell me, is she a bit chubby?" "Is she here?" "What have you done to her?" "She is safe." "And she is with us." "If you want to see her, you should talk." "You should give us all the information we want." " Shut up!" " I want my mommy!" "Don't get mad." "I told you a hundred times, never interfere in my business" "Catch him!" "Ma!" "Ma!" "It's Reza's voice!" "I'm here." "Can't you see?" "I'm here." "Calm down you idiot!" "We know that you work for Lafia." "And we have the microfilm." "But without GF33 we can't do anything." "You have to help us to find it." " I'm losing my patience..." " I don't understand a thing." "I swear I don't anything." "Do you want him to make a colander of your body?" "Don't let him do it to you." "GF33 is the substance that Linda brought to Iran." "Stop fooling us." "What do you want from me?" "Believe me, I don't know a thing." "I have done nothing..." "Speak up!" "OK, I'll tell you what you want to know... only in one condition" "you have to let my mother go." "OK, firstly, what 33?" "G..." "F... 3... 3" "Of course it's GF 33." "It's a substance, you idiot!" "Don't get excited!" "That's exactly what I said." "You want to know its whereabouts?" " Not whereabouts, I want its exact location." " That's what I said, exact!" " Then what are you going to do with it?" " Are you asking me?" "How should I know?" "I don't know what I'm going to do with it." "What am I going to do with it?" "What am I going to do with it?" " You have to lead us to where it's hidden." "OK!" "You know, it's not good for your health to go there." "So let's forget it." "Forget it?" "Just like that?" "You talk way too much!" "I want 33!" "Take it easy, man!" "I'll tell you now: you know Charso Rajab?" "Everybody knows it." "And I'm sure you know its upper street." "Follow that street until you reach a 3-way junction." "There is no 3-way junction there." "No problem, let's say a 2-way junction." "It's a dead end street." "Dead end?" "Then let's take the lower street." "Go, go, go, until you reach a 3-way junction." "Then you ignore the right road and ignore the left road and you just keep going" "Idiot!" "Lazy-ass!" "Go get him now!" "Ma?" "We don't have any valuable things here." "Don't pretend that you don't know what I'm looking for." "See if it is there." "Hurry up!" "No, it's not here." "Didn't I tell that you won't find it here?" "Relax!" "It must be here." "Please, you don't touch it." "We give it to you." "It won't take more than a few seconds." "Here it is." "You mean this is my Ma?" "Help!" "He stole it!" "He took it away!" " What did he steal?" " The formula." " Where was he?" " He was in the laboratory." "What the hell you were doing then?" " Where is he?" " He is gone." "And you let him go you pumpkin?" "Thanks!" "Look who's here!" "They told me you were here." "I was looking for you everywhere." " I was very worried about you." " Why should you?" "Nothing to worry about." "Except that they broke my bones and kidnapped my mother." "Please, let's get out of here." "I'll take care of you." "Leave me alone." "OK guys, I'm leaving." " Bye!" " Bye!" "I'm tired." "Sit here like a good boy while I prepare the bath." "Reza, what are you doing?" "Give it to me." "You already had enough." "Stop it!" "You're gonna pass out." "I told you to behave." "Easy!" "What's this?" "The formula!" "Who's there?" "Are you awake dear?" " What are doing here?" " To admire your beauty!" " Don't touch me." "Why are you here?" " To see that face, you gorgeous." "But you are married." "But none of them is you or like you!" "She just left Kaiser's laboratory where she made a fake copy of the formula." " What's the address?" " No. 18, Laleh Street." "Now he is on his way to see Reza." " OK, keep on following her." " Yes, sir." "A fake version!" "I was expecting it." "Mother!" "Ma!" "Reza, are you OK?" "Are you feeling alright?" "Look, I have two formulas." "The fake one goes to Lafia, in exchange of telling me where they've kept Schmidt." "Isn't it a great plan?" "Lafia, Schmidt!" "So what about my mother?" "Mother!" "Mother!" "You shouldn't be worried about her at all." "They won't harm her." "I'm going to se Lafia." "I'm coming too." "No, you stay here and rest like a good boy." "Listen to what I say and be a nice boy!" " Bye!" " Let me come along." "I won't be late." "You good-for-nothings!" "None of you useless goons could handle that son of a bitch!" "The Sax gang comes here and humiliate you and you just stand up and watch?" "Idiots, you should move you asses!" "I want Linda Lerkis at any price!" "She is responsible for this mess." "Why don't you ask them to arrest me?" "You're here?" " I was not hiding..." " I don't like your tricks." "I don't trust you, or that guy who's been moving around with you." "You said you're going to work for us which is here." "I didn't say that." "I just promised to bring the formula." "But before handing it over to you, I want what I've been promised:" "Professor Schmidt and the money." "She is a very dangerous spy." "Doctor Schmidt is not here anymore." "We'll take you to our nuclear site." "And you'll enjoy our hospitality." "So you've lied to me." "Almost" "Don't try to resist because it's pointless." "Watch out sister!" "Please get in the car and don't make any trouble." "You won't find anything on me." "Lafia's got the formula." "When you were wasting time following me, they went to the nuclear site in Najaf Abad." "Yes, speaking." "What?" "Najaf Abad?" "Move on quickly!" "Don't waste any time." "Why are you taking me?" "Let go of me!" "You won't find anything on me." "Lafia's got the formula." "When you were wasting time following me, they went to the nuclear site in Najaf Abad." "Hello?" "Yes, Reza just left." "He seemed to be in a hurry." "All right" "I'll be on the move right away." "Sure!" "Attack!" "Of all places he should have stood right in the direction of my gun!" "Ruined!" "You ruined my house." "You savages!" "Ruined!" "You destroyed my house!" " Where are the rest?" " Which rest you moron?" "Answer me you old fart!" "Where is Lafia?" "We want to have a barbecue part with them." "They  left for the see... to the ship." " Which ship?" " I don't know." "The ship?" "The person you're looking for is here." "Keep talking to him." "You spooked me babe!" "You're very brave." "Sax will skin you alive." "Now I remember you." "You work for that lizard." "Where is Sax?" "I have to show him a lesson." "He's kidnapped my mother." "You know, you talk too much!" "Hey girls look who's here!" "Don't touch me!" "Now tell me, where have you hidden my mother?" "My mother... mommy." " We don't know what is a mother?" " Don't play games with me or I'll eat you alive" "Three drinks for the ladies." "Why are you here?" "Do you know it's very dangerous to hang around here?" "Don't move!" "What's your problem?" "Give me the formula." " Be quick!" " Why don't you leave me alone?" "What is so good about me that you follow me everywhere I go." "My math is bad and I never learned formulas in my life..." "Where's my mother?" "Open your trap door!" " Where is she?" " In Haft Cheshme Garden." "It's behind... behind the fire temple." "Turn around." "Accept my apologies." "Why you two are fighting?" "Stop it!" "What a useful invention!" "It seems evacuated." "Let's get in." "We wait right here." "Hello!" "They told me a short, 45-year-old lady is seen around here." "By any chance, haven't you seen her?" "Where is my mother?" "Don't worry baby." "Everything would be fine." "Leave me alone!" "Don't get mad honey." " Hello!" " Wait a sec!" "Don't waste your time with a villager." " What's your name?" " Assadullah" "Goodbye!" "Thanks for your help." "My dear Reza!" "Are you alright?" "I'm so happy to see you!" "You made me all wet!" "Me and your mother were imprisoned by Sax and his people." "But we managed to escape." "Your mother is here." " Here?" " Yes" "Not that way." "She went to the riverside." "My son, Reza!" "This gentleman is a friend." "He'll take you back to Tehran." "Look at this mess!" "What was that?" "Unit SB14, are you there?" "SB14 answer me!" "Push the bloody button!" "Let me dig out the phone!" "OK, what's your problem?" "SB14, you should get hold of O35 and O65 and bring them over to the ship." "There in no "O" here!" "There are just a couple of barrels." "Tell him you've got them." "Ask them where the ship is." " What's the address?" " Helenica Ship, Shahpour Port." "I'll be there in no time." "Let's go." "Schmidt must be there too." " Any progress?" " Nothing yet." "You have to be patient." "I'm sick and tired of you." "The ship is on hold only because of you." "Be quick!" "Don't move!" "Get this thing moving!" "Useless hat and beard" "You good-for-nothing asshole!" "Call our air unit and tell them shoot to kill!" "You want to fight, come down here bastards!" "I was joking!" "We're locked in." "Shoot them down!" "All onboard onto your positions!" "Capture them!" "We give up!" "Bring them onboard!" "Faster!" "Faster!" "Move your ass!" "I'm really glad to see you one more time before leaving for our country." " Pleasure is all mine!" " Thank you." "We just saved you from being killed, only to reserve the joy of killing you for ourselves." "In fact, killing you nuisances brings a good conclusion to our plan." "This way, please." " It wasn't so wise to come here, was it?" " Well, I guess it was fate." "But also we didn't mind paying you a visit and having our little thing back." "The little thing?" "I have no intention to give you the formula." "On the contrary, I'm going to kill you." "Your bodies will be sent down to the sea." "We don't need the formula, we just want to have Dr. Schmidt." "Lafia, that formula is useless." "What?" "What do you mean?" "It means that the formula is fake." "And that this beauty here has fooled you." "Tell me it isn't true." "Tell me he is bluffing." "I'm afraid he is right." "It is true." "That's enough!" "Remove them!" "If what you said is true and the formula is fake.." " ...and if you've deceived me..." " Then we'll be killed for a second time?" "All of you should follow me to that ship." "You have to be very careful." "Get onboard quietly." "When in there, if someone appears you shouldn't give him a chance." "Now move!" "Mon cherie!" "Please be careful!" "Kisses for everyone!" "Goodbye!" "Give us some privacy!" "What are doing here you peeping toms?" "Come on!" "Move!" "Pull me up!" "Continue in two groups." "What is this racket?" "You should give me that formula, you naughty Lafia!" "You will never get it." "Don't move!" "Hand it over!" "Now say your prayers." " Please don't kill me!" " I can't let you live." "Please don't kill me." "I'll give you anything you want." "I don't want to die!" "Now you're begging, eh?" "It's great to see you like this." "The great Lafia is begging for forgiveness." "But that won't change anything." "You have to die." " Oh doctor, I'm so glad to see you again." " Linda!" "I was expecting you, but what are doing on this ship?" "Quite a place you've got here!" "It was impossible to convince Lafia that nothing will come out of that fake formula." "If you're finished with your chit-chat let's move on." "OK, let's get out of here." "Come on!" "Let go of me!" "I... have to... kill you!" "What's this?" " Who are they?" " Coast guard." "They are here to arrest us." "What should we do now?" "Follow me." " Let me release the boat." " You don't know a shit!" "This one is from gendarmerie." "Don't move!" "We eventually met, Mr. Sax and Mr. Lafia." "How about some 20-30 years in prison?" "It's all his fault." " Hello!" " Get down." "You arrived on time." "Hi!" "I'm happy to see you." "I'd be happier if you pass the formula and the GF33 to us." "It's only because of him that we've got the formula." " How's our indestructible agent?" " Just fine." "With your permission I have to go back to the garage." "You did a perfect job and you'll be rewarded." "I didn't know he was your agent." "Oh my God!" "My dear Reza!" "THE END"
