"Previously Master Mozaffar orders the six-fingered inspector... to put old Khoshnevis under arrest." "This harsh imprisonment coincides with the general war ll." "Iran is occupied by foreign powers." "The inspector keeps torturing the silent old man until he takes a trip... down his old memories." "Abolfath tends to make a faithful agent out of a prince's huntsman... in order to assassinate traitors." "On the other hand, Shabun, the hooligan was also needed... as a member of the community." "Abolfath showed Reza the ropes and opened his eyes." "In the community's opinion, every type of man was needed in the group." "As the council decided, Shabun became the leader of the mob." "Now the assassinations are centered in a circle of blood." "They bought night garments, black outfits, silent shoes... and deadly weapons on the sly." "Reza is left with his doubts until he makes a decision to fight." "Abolfath is proud of the fruit of his own labor." "They aim at assassinating the" "A dark creature is eliminated, a dear one is killed in cold blood." "Part Nine" "Dr. Musa Feyz." "They say the bullet was shot" "Esmail Khan treated people so cruelly." "It served him well." "I was delighted." "Colonel, the person under arrest is" "Zeyn al-Abedin... the custodian of the drinking fountain." "We arrested him in the shrine." "Put him in the same chamber" "Move." "Quick." "Perhaps tomorrow you will not have a tongue to talk with." "So know the value of it now and start talking." "You are not the murderer." "The murderer is a gunman." "But you have collaborated with the criminal." "The reports have proved that nothing was going on here." "You have let the shooter use the crime scene at will." "You have blown in the dust to fill somebody else's eyes with it." "We told your accomplices that Esmail Khan is still alive and under medication." "You deserve to be punished." "However you shall get imprisoned and not executed." "If you are physically strong, you shall survive." "Use your tongue and tell us the truth." "Peace be upon Muhammad and his descendants." "Say it and get yourself freed." "Are you busy chewing gum?" "Name?" "Peace be upon Muhammad and his descendants." "This man is not allowed to leave this place until tomorrow." "Not even for performing his ablutions and easing nature." "No ablution with earth while there is water available." "Silence!" "Silence!" "This is a court of law." "We need silence." "We have a critically ill patient here." "What is this shouting match?" "Esmail Khan's corpse." "It's a sin to leave a dead body unburied." "You have taken action too soon." "That is also a sin." "Only God knows the secret of life and death." "When the doctor does not turn a patient away, it is not fair to hold him a funeral." "The bullet has been taken out successfully." "Esmail Khan is still breathing." "This can be proved by his wife who" "Ma'am, you may enter quietly." "He is alive." "If Esmail Khan was a traitor, why would such a crowed come after his alive corpse?" "Well, perhaps the punishment council both kills and holds funerals for its victims." "I can see familiar faces of the council, mourning among this crowd." "Once Esmail Khan is able to speak or move, the gunmen will be pointed out." "Nobody can leave the shop without my permission." "You can have as much sheep food as you wish." "It's on me." "What would you like to have sir?" "For my agents, start with the broth as usual." "I shall start the sheep food ceremony from the middle of it." "I'll have meat, eye muscles and tongue." "Us, inspectors need eyes and tongues." "Eyes which have witnessed the crime and tongues that can reveal secrets." "Was your shop open on the day" "Esmail Khan was assassinated?" " Yes sir." " Very well." "I can see the cook is being of help." "Which one of your regular customers were here?" "You do not always have a craving for sheep food." "And the customers are usually passer-bys like me." "I wish I never had a craving for it and come here to get caught by the police." "No worries." "Enjoy your meal." "Maybe you were destined to... police department's expense." "Chef!" "Can you tell me who like sheep food the most in this neighborhood?" "Reza, more than the others." "Was he having sheep food here at the time of the assassination?" " No sir." " Where was he then?" "I have no idea sir." "You can ask him." "Reza is Moayer al-Doleh's huntsman." "He keeps company with big shots." "He has the courage to answer your questions." "I have nothing to ask him." "I swear I am innocent." " Father's name?" " I swear on all that is holy, sir." " Born in?" " It's all my stomach's fault." " Occupation?" " I was a tradesman." "See what a trouble I'm in?" "Esmail Khan was shot?" "I have never seen gunfire in my whole life." "All right, you." " Name?" " Ali." "What do you know?" "Nothing." " Father's name?" " Ghol amali." " Born in?" " Occupation?" " Bricklayer." "Were you in the shop at the time of the assassination?" "No." "Name?" "Father's name?" "Born in?" "I asked;" "Where were you born?" " Occupation?" "Where do you live?" "Where were you at the time of the assassination?" "Sheep do not know about the taste of kebab... and victims, about the mystery of murders." "No worries." "Be calm." "This is about the assassination attempt of Esmail Khan and a friendly chat... with a detective while having kebab." "If the food gets stuck in your throat, swallow it with the help of yogurt drink." "And if my words stink," "I'm sure you have plenty available." " Name?" " Ezzatollah." " Father's name?" " Occupation?" " Kebab seller." " Born in?" " Kermanshah." "Was your shop open at the time of the crime?" " Name?" " Ramazan." " Father's name?" " Naqdali." "Born in?" "Abhar." " Occupation?" " Cotton-carder." "Have you seen the assassination attempt with your own eyes?" "I have heard about it." "I am an itinerant." "I was not around here that day." " So you cannot be of help." " I don't think so." "I don't think so!" "I don't know." "I was not there." "It seems that I need to find the" "Naughty boy?" "Have you seen" "Esmail Khan being shot?" "Nope." " Weren't you playing in the area?" " I was in the vestibule." " At home?" " Yeah." "Truthseeker, give a listen." "Esmail Khan's murderer is amongst us." "Though Esmail Khan was a traitor and deserved punishment... his punishment did not fit the crime." "The murderer will pay dearly for this as the crime was not fair." "Punishment is justice for the unjust." " Hello." "Agents!" "From this moment on, nobody has the right to enter or exist." "The eyewitnesses are free to go once we are done with the interrogation." "No worries." "I have a kind approach for interrogating." "A new and innovative approach." "There is no need for taking... all the eyewitnesses to the police station for interrogation." "I only need to take the suspect." "I am neither a relative of Esmail Khan's nor an enemy of the shooter's." "I am neither that one's friend nor this one's foe." "And I am not here to take vengeance for that is the job of the prosecuting attorney." "Of course I would torture the person if necessary." "Esmail Khan is only a victim to me, whether he is a traitor or a loyalist." "And the shooter is the murderer no matter what reason he has... for committing the crime." "Now empty this bed for those who are summoned for interrogation." "Who let these hooligans in?" "Get out of here before I give you hell." " Name?" " Ali." " Father's name?" " Ebrahim." " Born in?" " Isfahan." " Occupation?" " Teahouse keeper." "Crime scene." "The bullet has been shot from the drinking fountain." "So the shooter was in there and has escaped after the shooting." "Did you not see a frightened person running away?" "Well, I was about to fall asleep" " Name?" " Mohammad Kazem." " Father's name?" " Mohammad Ali." " Where are you from?" " Tehran." " Occupation?" " Grocer." "Where were you at the time of the assassination?" "I was sleeping." "I was fast asleep." "I suddenly woke up when I heard a gunshot... and started running towards the carriage." " Name?" " Hashem." " Father's name?" " Abbas." " Born in?" " Land of love." "Occupation?" "What's your job?" "Love is blind." "I'm a lover." "What were you doing at the time of the assassination?" "I was seeing my beloved in my dreams." " Name?" " Mahmoud Reza." " Father's name?" " Abbas." " Born in?" " Tehran." "Occupation?" "I'm a puppeteer." "What were you doing when" "Esmail Khan was shot?" "I was taking a nap." " Name?" " Nematollah." " Father's name?" " Abbasali." " Born in?" " Taleqan." "I used to be a tragedian in a passion-play." "My voice got hoarse and I quit." "Did you see the shooter running away?" "Before or after the assassination attempt?" "I was smoking stuff." " Gholam Hossein." "Father's name?" "What did they call your father?" "Mir Abulhassan Khan." " Where are you from?" " Tehran." "What do you do?" "I used to be His Majesty's servant." "I got fired." "Now I'm an itinerant." "I sell tobacco." "Who fired the gun?" "Did you see the shooter?" "To be honest, I was taking a nap under the sun." "That's all." "A sleeping community!" "Fast asleep." "Dead to the world." "The difference between a murderer and an eyewitness is that... a murderer witnesses the crime, but the eyewitness doesn't commit the murder." "Of course in the words of Hafiz:" "It's the eyewitness who tends to murder." "Of course your mystics have another interpretation of "eyewitness"." "So there is a lot of difference between "eyewitness" and "eyewitness"." "Esmail Khan's murder has made a noise." "The statesmen have faced the first serious action by the revolutionists." "They are in a flap." "It was totally a successful act." "Now you deserve to be rewarded... not when you were a prince's huntsman who hunted deer." "You have hands that can easily ruin traitors." "Aren't you pleased with them for being so skillful?" "No." "I'm restless." "I do not know how it shall end." "It is natural." "This is the excitement for a new piece of work." "The detective keeps shadowing me." "He has interrogated everyone except for me." "That is wonderful." "A well-known man like you confesses more easily when he is ignored." "Be cautious." "A timid person is always safe." " I don't feel so good." " Here is your prescription." "Not a physician." "You shall overcome your fear with new excitement." "Among the hassled authorities, those with superficial knowledge are stressed." "One of them is Matin al-Saltaneh, manager of Modern Times Newspaper... who has made a stand against us." "Get up." "Stand up." "Get up." "Why are you sitting?" "Get up." "All right, sit down." "Here you are." "It had been long people of the capital city hadn't heard the gunshots of... an assassination." "This remembrance of the revolution had been silent for years." "Two days ago a similar case was witnessed which not only pleased... the disorderly crowd but also proved to the authorities that behind the peace... they live in, is a burning fire which could ruin the whole system any minute." "In our opinion, in these cases, the assassins or hired guns who are prepared... to kill or commit crimes merely to get paid do not deserve to be advised... for there are certain penalties considered for them." "Moreover, the authorities must pay attention to this point that we are... surrounded by traitorous outsiders who must not be tolerated... and treated indifferently." "The reason for the recent assassination remains unknown... unless the murderers are caught." "The freedom of opinion believed by these assassins is actually... not the subject of this article." "The only thing I tend to remind the statesmen regarding this crime now... is that outbursts of terrorism is" "in recent years." "This is undoubtedly sad, but in order to protect public's right... we have to repeat that the government has been supporting... terrorism by considering no penalty for murderers." "In the police department of Tehran and many other provinces... there are murderers who, unlike the sentence pronounced by the legislator... regarding retaliation, have never been punished properly during all this time." "In that case, how do we expect assassins and murderers not to get incited?" "Why should they not commit murders?" "An old Egyptian proverb says:" "A nation is ruined once they ruin their god." "Us, Iranian Muslims lost our country when we turned our back on our... religious beliefs." "What Islamic law allows a murderer to share a room... with someone who's much less guilty?" "They even raise his hopes about freedom and keep him until he finally gets... to escape after an accident such as a change in the government... or a conflagration in the parliament." "We have heard that in some European countries murderers are sentenced... to imprisonment with hard labor which we have no idea about." "It's true." "In some countries in certain cases they adopt this approach." "But do you have any idea what "imprisonment with hard labor" is?" "Which can be tolerated by no human being, with no proper food or clothes... while they do not see a single soul." "If the convicts do not die soon... they would ask God for their death for a thousand times every minute." "And the moment they die, they fell like they are blessed by God." "Is this what happens to the murderers in Tehran or other provinces today?" "Does "imprisonment with hard labor" mean to give the convicts shovels... and picks and move them in the streets so they can pretend to dig... the ground laughing it off to make people believe they do labor work... like prisoners in Europe do?" "No!" "This whole thing is being treated as a joke." "And it takes us long to understand the rules of our religious society." "So we should not stoop to others' rules and customs which have nothing... to do with our spirituality." "For some reason, I shall not elaborate on this matter more than this." "However, in order to remind the statesmen, again I have to mention that;" "There will be no guarantee that these types of crimes will not stop in the... future unless the murderers in our country are punished as they should be." "As long as the government does not have these murderers executed..." "Get out of here." "Leave this place." "Don't let them come in." "Men are not allowed in the women's section." " Says who?" " Says Shabun, that's who!" "Move back." "Move back." "Not possible." "Out of the way."
