Snake's Fang (1990) - full transcript

IN THE NAME OF GOD

"SNAKE FANG"

Old furniture, old rugs, tables and chairs...

shelves, mirrors and candle holders
anything you got, I'll buy

- Hey mister
- Yes ma'am?

Will you buy a tambourine? It's old

Yes ma'am, I'll buy any other old
things you may have

[tambourine sound]

- How much ma'am?
- Five thousand tomans

Take it ma'am,
are you trying to tease me?

It doesn't even sound good



This doesn't sound good?

[Tambourine playing]

You don't know the good
What's the bottom price?

A thousand
not a penny more

Look it well mister
the wood, it's great

It's worth at least ten grand

- What else you got?
- I have a nice Tar as well

No strings but it's old

One grand but only if the round part
is not broken and the handle is on it

A grand for that too

That's very unfair! Of course you wouldn't
know the value of these things

You'll have to sell it for less
if you don't make a deal with me ma'am

Those who sell things know it well

- Two thousand is my last price
- Add a bit more



I need the money or
I wouldn't be selling them

Here lady, another two hundred

A bit more

Count it, I put another two hundred
count it ma'am

How dare you tell me
I yell and scream for nothing?

My mother's corpse is just laying
in the house and you're buying musical things

My mother was all I had in this world

- And her corpse is laying there
- I've bought a nice Tar

- Can't you leave work for just today?
- There you go again? Stop your nagging

There's plenty of time till noon

It'll take at least till noon by the time your
brother comes and goes through his rituals

You're being stubborn
I know that's all you want to do

Suits, pants, mirrors and candle holders
tables and chairs, I'll buy them

I hadn't seen her for three months

She raised us going through hell

I'm her daughter
I should be by her side right now

- That's enough
- She must be wrapped by now

Both you and your brother Reza,
both of you are done nursing her

- I mean everyone dies some time
- How do you call yourself a man?

Remember how you used to
moan over your dad's grave?

- Don't start something, for God's sake
finish work just for today
- Old furniture, rugs, tables and chairs...

Kettles, TVs
tape recorders, I'll buy them

Why did you pull over?

I'll be right back

Where are you taking
the Tar and Tambourine?

- We have to go to mother's house
- I'll be right back, sit in the car

Hold on

You slime!

Let's go Naghi,
For God's sake let's go

For the love of God let's go

[Quran being recited]

The ambulance is here Reza

The ambulance has been waiting
down there for an hour

God bless her
she came to my house yesterday

She said she wasn't feeling well

She wanted you to have this
should anything happen to her

Here, she said she saved up

She knew she was about to die
She told me not to let you cry

She said it wasn't good for your eyes

Bottom line she worried a lot
about your eyes

Listen to her if you really love her
crying isn't good for your eyes

God bless her soul

Mother!
Where is my mother?

What happened to my mother?

Let me go
Mother!

Let me go

See brother?
Now you're completely lonely

You see?
Who's gonna pour medicine in your eyes now?

Who's gonna wash your dirty clothes?

To get the tea ready

[mourning and moaning]

Let me see how much you weigh

Sit

Don't piss, that's a boy

You get up here too

Did the slime raise your hand
on you again?

He weighs and kisses the kids

He tells me to yell mother
in the speaker

He says I can't have babies

He sits kids on top of
melons back of the truck

His own brothers and sisters all can't
have babies but he won't have it all

Come on, that's it

That's a boy

If I were in a good condition I would have
taught him a lesson not to ever beat you

- My eyes!
- Don't go to the off set again

You are educated
you can become the manager of some magazine

Write my story in it too
I can say what a bastard he is!

Whose name is the truck in?

He told me to give him my gold and
the truck since I couldn't give him babies

But the truck is in my name

Every night he starts giving
me a good beating

And the neighbors come to drag
me away from his paws...

That's his routine every night

- God, help me get divorced this time
- Have you filed for it?

- It's the third time
- Go and say your prayers

- Is everyone in?
- Yes

- Let's hope for Reza's happiness
- Peace be upon prophet Mohammad

Are you coming home?

No I have laundry to do

But I'll stop by to see you
in a couple of days

Hi, is Jalal in?

Is Jalal in?

Jalal, is he in?

I said is Jalal in?

It's closed

My name is Reza
I'm here to see Jalal

He has a heart condition

So he leaves early

- Are you a veteran?
- Very much

- Legal tapes...
- Rambo, Rocky, Stallone

- Mother, buy one
- Let's go

Rambo, Rocky, Stallone

Watch the tab on room 14
room 18 will be vacant tomorrow

- It says here
- Too bad you're not a nice fellow

I filled up room 14
Watch the tab for room 11

- I'm going out for a bit
- I want a room

You shouldn't eat melons here

Hello? No

He no longer is here

I wouldn't know

Let up pal

You want dollars mister?

Yeah the phone is not working

The fan isn't working neither
it's hot

I said the fan

It's not working

What? No

No

- Hello
- Yes

I don't want it, I don't need no good
passengers, no addicted ones

No booth sellers

No addicts
none of that

Those you sent are already gone
I won't let others like them anymore

Yes?

What? Just come and take a look
it's just like the foreign ones

All with ties!

Every morning half of them
pickpocket the other half

Yeah

Not that

Ahmad is here
I'll talk to him personally

I'll shut down the upper flower for a week
I'll paint it and we'll start again

Send me passengers who
won't eat the pipes and tables

Not those who throw old
socks in the sink

Or those who shit so hard
you need dynamite to open the pipe

Not even a hundred

Get lost

They just don't get it

- Yes?
- I have a message for Ahmad

- How is he? He's not in a bad mood is he?
- No, he's in his room

- Yes?
- I need a quiet room

You go to the north if you want
a cozy place with nice weather

- Cool, that's right
- Can't you...

- Where are you from?
- Tehran

You're from Tehran and don't
have anyone here?

I need to stay out for a couple of nights

I'll do something for you
but let's see what...

But I think it's better if you make up

What's it to me anyway?

Some sort of an ID
anything with a photo on it

- A bucket
- What?

Come here

What does a motel mean?
It means plastic

The pipes, water holders, glasses...

Yes the building, beds, fans
everything is made of plastic

Except your brain
which I think it's too made of plastic

- I want it for Ahmad
- Go on

Are you a printer?

So you're educated

Rooms are all full
But I'll look for a guest with room to spare

I'll tell Ahmad
the room is completely at his service

But he did say he wanted
a companion

An understanding companion
hold on

I'll be right back

You'll get electrocuted
go to your room

Don't stick your finger in the socket?

Don't let the kid wipe his nose on the wall

Get the kids out of here

Let's go

You'll be in Ahmad's room tonight

Ahmad is a gentleman
tall, green eyes and handsome

But don't call him mister
or he won't like it

He's the father of all these kids
he supports us all

Should you decide to stay
one toilet every floor

Public bath right up the street
and it's not with us

I mean the money

You make your own bed
you can't cook

No electrical equipments
a week's rent upfront

And you won't put your dirty
socks under the rug

And you won't kill insects
and roaches on the wall

My name is Javad
how do you like it so far?

How is it? Go on

- Come in
- Hello

- Welcome
- May I?

Please do so

Are you mourning over someone
for wearing black?

My mother passed away

This morning

Mothers are blessing

Want some tea?
It's hot

- Have you had dinner?
- Thanks

I'll get you some tea

- Here you are
- Thanks

These horses belong to Eynee

He's a boy but
he's got a heart of a man

You'll meet him later

It's alright

I know how to handle it
if you got an illness

I mean if it's fainting...

come here

its my eyes

I get dizzy

I've troubled you Ahamd

Just turn off the lights
they're directly in my eyes

It'll be alright

It's not always like this

they bother my eyes

Maybe you didn't have dinner

- Is that why you got dizzy?
- No it's from printing

I used to work in an off set

but I've been out of work for a couple
of months because of my eyes

I used to live with my mother

In a room the size of this one

She died this morning

We buried her this morning
and I went back home

But a room with mother in it one night
and without it the next day can't live in

So I left

Do something for me
sorry for the trouble

What is it bro?

My bag, there is an eye drop
pour it in my eyes

Just careful not to touch the tip

It's under here

- There isn't anything
I shouldn't see in it is there?
- No

Just hurry up a bit

Who did you have in the war?

My younger brother

He might still be alive

His friend brought his tag to my mother

He said that he took it off himself

I guess he was wounded

So I'm stuck whether he is
lost in action, A POW or martyred

I can neither cry for him
nor can't I

I'm with you all the way

You're a good man

Does it burn?

Molavi intersection, the whole
strip...

You ask anyone there...

They'll lead you to me

If you want work we can do it together

if it's profitable
we can share it

Hi uncle, Mahmoud is right here

- Should I bring him?
- Yeah

This is one of them
a very nice boy

He is different than the others

What? Don't you want to take
your horses?

I hung them up there
when you were gone uncle

Mahmoud won't pay me my money

But I'll force him to pay me

But I told you since you said
to tell you

Why did you give him your money?
What's he saying about it?

He told me not to pay the money
for cigarettes

And that Mark will go up

Mark didn't go up, it came down

And now he wants to pay me
in Marks

I don't need Marks

And I know you won't like it
if I get into dollar

Tell him to come
is he nearby?

Yes, right next door

He's planning to pull one
over the Arabs

- Tell him to come
- Sure

Mahmoud, come here Ahmad wants to talk to you

I'm coming

Hello Ahmad

- I'm at your service
- Why don't you pay him?

I've kept six grand of his money
for a week

Why did you do that?

- I told him to buy marks together
- He's lying

- I figured if we did it and if there was...
- He's lying

Be quiet, it's no big deal

- Money like that...
- He's lying

- You're lying
- I'm lying?

I told you once and I won't say it again
Don't drag the kids into dollars

Don't you think they're without
protection to cheat them

Forget the mark

He'll come in two days
you'll give him 15 coupon booklets

and pay his money in tomans

- He said in two days, let's go
- Sure

Come

He paid his rent ten days ago

But the eleventh night
he started to play games

so I kicked him out of here

I told him to sleep out in the street

I had a handkerchief in by bag
it's been stolen, I'll take it from you

Get your hands off

The boys here will cut you to pieces
by my gesture

Ahmad's been very nice to you

- I'll take it from him
- Lower you voice

He shouldn't have been kind to you
to tell me not to charge you for the room

He's not a punk
his room is his permanent resident

I'm not the cop-calling type

I'll either take it back from him...

Or I'll come back and break
the motel over your heads

That handkerchief is my whole life

Either sell marks or cigarettes

I only want what's best for you boy

Search me Ahmad
See if you find a coupon on me

You give all the coupons to the Afghanis

There's not much in cigarettes
it's good only uptown

There is a ten toman tip
in every pack there

You got it from Abas?
You turned into a slime so fast?

Was I wrong for not letting you be taken to
Karaj to do labor work?

Didn't you say you study at night?

It's unlike you Ahmad

Put everything out, move it

I wanna talk to you

I heard you were a real man

Return my tag, money and my gold

That's all I got

I told you last night that
gold was given to me by my mother

Who is he Ahmad?

I'll take it back from you

What the hell are you saying?
That bag wasn't worth more than fifteen grand

The medication for your eyes wasn't
worth anything

I cried for you mother

Tell me why you've been looking for me?

I noticed in the morning
the money and gold was gone

You were the only one who
got in the bag

Get over here

It's not nice in front of the kids
lower your voice

It's for your own sake

These kids... come here

- Should we make him understand Ahmad?
- Get back to work

- He's a friend
- What the hell are you saying pal?

Isn't that enough?
I told you it wasn't me or the kids

You were different for me last night

- Should we Ahmad?
- I was worried about your dinner

I cried for you and your mother
once the lights were out

Don't you have a conscience?
I told you it wasn't me pal

You're talking shit

Melons

Ugly bastards
I hope you all go to hell

- Fifty, seventy, eighty
- How much per kilo?

Four and half

- It's too hard!
- Can't pick them out

Let me see

- Twenty five tomans
- Here you are

The slime keeps saying
he wants a baby

Wanting a baby's turned into an excuse
for him to get close to that bitch

Specially right before my eyes

- Thanks
- Take care

Stay out of sight for three months
and then do whatever you want to

Wedded and lovers

- You told me to stay with
you for three months
- There you go again talking shit

You're not my size

Why don't you say things
good enough for your relatives

And keep selling your melons

What would you have done
if you owned a huge truck?

Your whole life's this truck

Melons!

Hey, leave me out of this
don't drag me into it

I can have four trucks here
in half a day if I want to

You can't match up to her

This love here uses a truck every morning

I thought you said you either
wanted a baby or the truck

So a baby is just like a truck to you

You don't know what a baby is
you're only after money

And you're in the right place

And as far as you're concerned you
were born with a silver spoon in your mouth

I don't have anything with you

I told you to leave me alone

I've signed a promise not
to start any fights at the station

Tell her to get out of here You two are driving
me nuts with this three months and ten days

You two can't have babies
but I have eleven of them

- Both of you, get lost
- Leave her alone, her brother is here

You must give him a promise too
that's worse than the station

He's a wolf with me
and a sheep to others

He can only force me
that's because I have no one

Ever since I became your wife
I've had a bruise on my face

Long time no see brother

How are you?
Go and put your scarf on

I'm only keeping quiet out of respect
for your brother

Is it a sin to want to have a baby?

That's what being a man is all about

You keep nagging and
things get this far

You want to fight everyone

I told you a hundred times
you don't have the right

You should know it well

I told you I loved you at the start
and I meant it

But you made things turn out this way
in fact the hell with a baby

you called me every name in the book
and I let them all slide by

I keep overlooking things
but you drag them on and on

How are you brother?

Are you gonna stay with me?

I was going to stay the night with you
but I've changed my mind

You know what you slime?
I'll go to stay with my brother

Go and live with anyone you want to

I didn't ask him to come here

You want to have him?
So do it, what's it to me?

Besides you never know
I'll marry him for sure after you

Besides he's having considerations for you

- That's enough...
- Let her get lost

leave her alone, she's not well
go on

Hold on a moment

I went to the off set to see you
but you weren't there

Don't you want to get married yet?

Once the white of the youth is gone
then it comes the grey of the forty

After the sunset of the fifty
that's when the night arrives slowly

Darkness!

How can you get married at night?

It's like baking bread

You get it out of the oven too soon
it's till dough and too late it's burnt

- On time
- You can lean on her

I have a cane to do that

It's not good for your heart
I'll help you

It's the third floor
we'll go slowly

The lift's not been working for two days

It's neither food for living nor dying

My late brother left this place for me

It's just a room
but it's enough for me

The pigeons get the leftovers

The guys talk about off set in the middle
of so many cement, pipes and pigeons

Why? You are a writer

- Needs fresh life
- You're alone, why don't you write?

- I'm not alone
- So much issue you can use

Mr. Smile, Banan, pigeons and so much talk

Political memories!

Write it, you've always wanted
to write a couple of novels

Nousin, Naderi Cafe, Marmar remember?
You used to talk about it a lot

So much time

- What did you with your heart?
- I went to a doctor

He said I needed an operation
to put batteries

I priced it
it was 300 thousand tomans

Seyed Ali's brother said he knew
of a second hand in cheragh Bargh

Cheap

It belonged to someone who died
and the inheritant wants to sell it

Second hand American
is better than a new Korean

And now it's here

And it's not working like a clock
it is a clock

And a quartz one too

My eyes have been hurting recently
and when they do I can't see anywhere

My temples feel like popping
until I pour medication in them

I told the doctor to tell me if I'm
about to go blind so I can get ready for it

Is that why you're not working anymore?

Any news of your brother?

Someone brought his tag

One of his comrades

Do you want me to put Khansari on for you?
Marzieh is in it too

And Banan as well

But Banan... Banan is good

Toobi, the queen of all ladies
how is your mother?

The black shirt is because of her

It hasn't been seven days past yet

[reciting the Quran]

Who is that?

- Hello Ahmad
- My condolences

I figured the seventh day would be today

And it wasn't too hard to find it

- Here you are
- Thanks a lot

This is Zivar, my sister

Ahmad is my new friend

I really appreciate you coming

Jalal, this Ahmad here is a great fellow

- Hello
- Hello

Sister! You should have come back
to your mother's house

But I was following up on the divorce
it's about to be wrapped up

You know it

Naghi is working on Land Rovers now

He told me I had to sell melons
on freeways in front of him...

Until the end of three months and ten days

But I told him profit in selling melons
is in uptown

He stinks of opium when
he comes home at night

It's gotten hard to go and buy
melons in the morning anymore brother

I can't yell through the speaker too

I wish you had stayed the other day
at least he would have knows I had somebody

Let him go and buy them

You have me

Pardon me, but one of the boys whom Reza
knows too, he's young but he is a man...

He's above the rest of them

I'll have him go to get the melons every
morning with or without you

Thanks a lot

That's Mohamad, my brother's friend

- Hello Reza, hello sir
- Hello

My condolences
My name is Ali

I was the one who brought
Mohammad's tag to his mother

God bless her

I won't ask it again
who's got Reza's gold and money?

I can't believe you think of me that way
Do you really think that I...?

Why you? You're a true man

I'll be back in two days
and I don't care about any of that

- Whoever it was, hit the wrong spot
- Leave him alone

You'll find him, and you'll put the money and
the gold and specially that tag on the table

It's not him

Come here Ahmad

Ahmad...

Let's go together to check up
on the guys

What does he do for them?

That's all in Abdul's hand

There are times when you have to stand up
and times when you have to bail

But so help you God if
the two get reversed

Then you'll be indebted to yourself
for the rest of your life

I'm trying to ruin Abdul's
organization somehow

- Careful not to get cheated Ahmad
- What for? Why do you say that?

Things are changing

A few of the veterans
went to see Abdul

No one's been able
to find out what it was all about

They've kept it under a low profile

I checked on a couple of guys
and told them to be on their toes

I told them to bring the news
on time so we'd know what to do

I mean we're not here to give free rides

Besides we have to take the fall
and they take the profit

You didn't tell me what was wrong with
the guys today? What are you here for then?

- Ahmad...
- You're just watching?

Listen to me for God's sake

You only focus on your kids

Fine, but Abdul intends to enter
other avenues

I can smell it
he's jumping higher

Spare parts

Flour is good but
fruits and flours and shit like that...

He wants to put an end to them

- How are you?
- Fire feels great here at night

The cigarette market isn't so bad nowadays

By the way
how much is butter coupons?

Get back on your side

What are you telling him?

Move it

And don't you look at me like that
or I'll smack your head off

Let's go Ahmad

It's your fault, for not listening
to what your older tells you

- What were you telling him anyway?
- Leave him alone

Just sit down and mind your own business

You do well
what do you care about coupons?

He'll sit directly on grease
as he always does

Iranian or Afghani worker, it doesn't matter
they will not go to the kids

Sure

The other side there are rotten fruits and so
many animals, mosquitos will gather for sure

And there are lots of insect killers

You only need to open the box like so

And spray it like I'm doing

Give one to the Afghanis too

Get over here

- What are you doing here?
- Hi uncle

- Hi
- Hi uncle

Come over here

Why are you all following us?
Get scattered

And sell your cigarettes

And careful with the cars

Let's go Reza

It turned out really good this time

Here comes Ahmad too

Come here

Hello Ahmad

- You're here to, I need to see you later
- Sure thing

Careful not to fall down

- Hello uncle
- Hi dear

- Hi
- How are you son?

- Hello Uncle Ahmad
- Hello

I just got back from Turkey last night
Do you need Studying clothes?

Colours are silk

You don't know what happened Ahmad
One of them died

- Which one?
- The tall one

What happened?

The acid got mixed with the powder
and went inside the bread

And they ate the whole thing

The tall one suddenly fainted

I felt his pulse twice
but there was nothing

He was gone by the time
I got him to the doctor

- Take care
- What's this?

It's anti-freeze
It'll be canned for the Winter

I'll come to Abdul

Come in

- How are you Soghra?
- Good, thanks to you

- Are you alright?
- Not too bad

Come in

- Not just like that pal, hold on
- Hello

Come in

I'll buy it all from you
and money is good too

If they turn out good, enjoy the money
and if not you'll pay the damages

Oil is very vital during the Winter
Specially up north

- Oil is specially for the snow
- Load the truck and take
the Nissan on the scale

And hand Nissan's papers instead of the truck

Put the remaining in the storage

No I'm with it
it's not my first time

Don't you worry

By the way, don't buy the bricks single

Go to Mehdi
he'll take care of it for you

Tell him to call me too

Go on, I'm listening to you

- The anti-freeze is done, here you are
- Hold on

Good

- Tell them to send the things
- Sure thing Mr. Abdul

Hello? That deal went through too

Twenty with electricity,
water and asphalt road

Stick to work and report to me

No, nothing else

I didn't hear from you for three days
Where have you been?

- How are you?
- I'm at your disposal

Quiet down around you

We'll stop dealing in cigarettes
and things like that

We're getting into spare
parts of Benz and Toyota

- How are you?
- Reza here is a real pal

But he's depressed

He works with me
he doesn't do illegal things

And that's precious

I want to see you tomorrow

You, Ezat and Rasoul
if you intend to get Reza...

Would you do a good deed?

There is a girl who has no one
she's from my hometown

And I can't just let anyone handle her

She's in a bad place
out in the desert

A house in Karaj accepted her to stay there

It's a good deed
get her out of there

I'll give you the address of both places

- It's a pretty necklace! Can I see it?
- It's a gift

Do you like it?
I'll give it to you tomorrow

Tell them to take better care of the kids

Hello? Yes?

- How dare you hit me?
- Try to forget it

- What's with the suitcase?
- It's none of your business

Are you planning to stay there for the night?

Oh yeah, just for the night

Only in your dreams

Is this the Tehran you talked about?
Is this what you promised me?

I wouldn't need you anymore
if I knew it would be like this

Who helped you to come to Tehran? Me

Who got you work? Me

So leave the suitcase behind
Where are you taking it?

- The slime wants me to dance for him
- Where are you going? Stay

- I'll do anything you want me to
- I won't stay

- I'll do anything you say
- Is that how you let me study?

- Leave the suitcase be
- Get lost

- Bring back the things
- Shut up

- I'll smack you in the mouth
- Like hell you will

I'm gonna bust your mouth wide open

- What are you hiding in it?
- What do you have...
are you calling me a thief?

- Sure you're a thief
- You're the thief

- Don't make me break your teeth
- Did Mr. Abdul send you?

- Yeah
- Oh my bag

I won't let you just leave like this
you have to stay

- I won't, even if I die I won't stay
- Leave the suitcase then

- I won't
- I got you a house, with two rooms

A house with a bell
And a phone at the end of the street

- I ordered you a new scarf
- Stuff it down your throat

- But I have nothing to do
I won't let you go
- I'm not a car

- I won't let you go
- I'm a human being, you should have asked
me what you wanted to do

- I won't stay
- I won't let you go

You're all I have

So you want to leave with that suitcase ha?

I won't leave you alone

I'll buy new shoes and clothes for you

Stop!

Do you know where you have to take me?

To this address
but I've never been there

- Do you know Abdul well enough?
- No, I only met him once

Go sir

- Isn't your father coming?
- Go

- Take me, save me from him
- Get out

Go

Are you running away?
That's right, a new man

- You know where you have to go?
- How are you related to her?

He's not

Who got you out of the fire? Who brought you
to Tehran and introduced you to Abdul?

The slime brought me to Tehran just
to have a truck

I have to say yes to every damned thing
he wants me to do

- This is the last time
- Shut up

- I'm not coming with you
- I'll take you

Get out before I tear you to pieces

You're going to get together with him?

Abdul will smoke you to death
if he finds out

He'll take care of you

- Go mister
- Stop

- Who was that? Not your father ha?
- No

He's a nice man
but it's out of force

He saved me from the Iraqis

- Do you know the place I'm taking you to?
- No

I won't go there

Take me to a safe place please

- What is your name?
- Fatemeh

[Karoun Motel]
Legal tapes

No way

They won't rent rooms to a girl alone

- Do you have a birth certificate?
- Yes

I'm going to take you to Ahmad

He's a nice man
and if he's not home I'll take you to Jalal

Jalal is my master and older than I am

He's beyond everything in this world

I'll leave you there
and I'll go back to Ahmad

- I'll think of something
for you in the morning
- If you don't come... should I go?

I will come

I'm out of eye medicine
I have to buy some

I have an eye problem
I have to pour medicine in them

I suddenly can't see anywhere

Hi, do you want guests?

What a timing!
I'm not well, come in

you want me to call a doctor?

- It's beyond doctors and medicine
- Don't say that

Come and sit

- Did you get married?
- No

- She'll stay with you till tomorrow
- You want me to cook some soup for you?

- How about some tea?
- I've never had any women in this house

Just feed the pigeons lady

Thanks Reza, I finally have the voice
of a woman in this house

- Careful
- Easy

- Okay, hold it still
- Pardon?

- Hi
- Hi

- Is Ahmad here?
- Yes, come in

Easy

What did the animal eat?
I'm afraid it may be dying

No Ahmad, I won't let it
I can do something if I find out what it ate

Hasan says it ate paper
but horses don't do that

Bring the light here over its mouth

I know what it's eaten
A bucket of anti-freeze

They had seven buckets

Did you see it with your eyes?

Yes, they set them there
to make more from them

It ate one of them
the bucket is empty now

Over there, probably
thought it was water

Its teeth are locked

- What have you done to the animal?
- What should we do Ahmad?

- It's gotten green between its teeth
- Bring me that bucket

If it goes down
there's nothing more we can do

Will someone tell me the truth?
What happened to the poor animal?

Neither its stomach is making any sounds
nor is it breathing

- It'll be dead in fifteen minutes
- Take it quickly

Someone says it ate anti-freeze
you say it ate paper

Bring the light here

It's not nice

- We constantly have problems here
- What's wrong?

- I don't know what suddenly happened
to the poor animal
- Hold its head high

I think it's going to die
pour it down its throat

It's all your fault

- You don't leave the animal alone all day
- It's not my fault

- I told you to leave it alone
- Hi
- Hi

- You feed just about anything to it
- What's it to me?

Stop talking back kid
I saw you giving it the cigarette box

The girl's father called and
said you hit him

It's dying
I told you many times to stop the animals

- I looked for you at the motel
- Did you hit him?

When she told me to save her
it reminded me of you and these kids

The guy was a poor soul too
I just threw him out

Her name is Fatemeh
I took her to my friend's house

He is sick but it's a safe place

There are certain things dear to you
which I'm sure are to me too

You'll be in deep trouble
if Abdul finds you

But now I won't let him

I have something else in mind

I don't know, why are you so quiet?

This girl, she's a nice girl

And this Abdul guy's been alive for too long

I'm sure he had my necklace on

And my brother's tag was there too

If you open your eyes wide enough
you'll see a lot going on around you

Oh!

Come on

Come with me

Go

He said his battery was about
to stop working in the morning

I didn't understand him though

- What's with you?
- Hello Mahmoud

- Hi
- Here are the booklets

- I'll bring the other half tomorrow
- So?

- Give me my money
- I only have mark and a bit dollars

I don't want foreign money
Ahmad told me not to get into money business

Money is money
what's the difference?

You sell it and it'll become our money

But half of these are fake

I need a machine to test them

I can't use this money

Everything you do too
must be tested

- Everything
- Shut up kid!

Did you hit me?
I'll tell Ahmad

I'll tell Ahmad you hit me
I told him you stole his
friend's money and gold

Saeed saw it too
and the handkerchief...

Why are you hitting me?

How dare you hit me?

Stop hitting me you slime

Oh my arm

Don't hit me

Stop hitting me
Let go of me

I'll embarrass the hell out of you
I'll tell on you about everything

Oh my heart!

Eiynie!

There's the kettle,
cups and tea

Don't forget to turn off the kettle
before going to bed

And there are mattress and pillows there

I'm going to see Ahmad

Do you need any money?

Last night with Jalal, God bless him
and tonight here

But here feels like home

My mother left here

I wish you hadn't put me there to stay
for a night

Some people die...

And others like the one you threw out of
the car keep on living

Do you want me to pour your eye medicine?

Think of me as your sister

I wouldn't be here if
I weren't a proper woman

You're sitting on her bed sheets

I'll go to see Abdul tomorrow

It's either all or nothing

I don't know how you have been
able to bear it so long

- I'll settle it once for all tomorrow
- I'll be with you till the end

But I have something to do

My sister, and her husband...

I want to bring my sister to live
with Fatemeh

I'm coming with you

What's wrong son?

Mahmoud, I told him I would tell
on him about him stealing so he gave me mark

I told him they were fakes
and he chased me

I fell into the sewage, in shit

He said bad things about you too

He said Abdul said that... you'll excuse me...

He said that Ahmad is done with

- Meaning you
- Don't cry

- I told you to stop crying
- Sure

Enough

Go till tomorrow

The bath is closed
wash yourself with the pipe water

Where are you going?

I'm scared, he's not like he used to anymore

He's not as strong

He wants to go alone

- Yes
- What is it?

What are you doing?

I hope nothing happens to his eyes

Let go of him
What are you doing?

Let go...

I'm not staying here anymore

Says who I have to stay here and sell melons
for you for three months and ten days?

You can go and marry a hundred women
for all I care, I can work and handle myself

Here, your chair

Bastards!

Fatemeh washed all the dirty clothes
did you see it brother?

I had nothing to do
so I washed the clothes

The rooms were very clean
I just dusted them

Stay with us Fatemeh
for as long as you want to

Reza told me what happened
I hope they fry in hell

- You went through the war
- We all did

I'm glad you did that to him brother
how can any woman dislike babies?

But I hate them

Every time I'd see a baby
it would remind me of my wounds

Ever since the doctor said I couldn't have
babies I didn't have a healthy face

The pain of not having any babies
and the pain of getting beat up for it

So many kids in our city
you can have them all

Coupons!

Grab the ones for cooking oil

Shut the door

Pick it up

Right here

Who are they Mr. Abdul?

- Guys!
- Yes?

- You know what to do?
- Yes Ahmad

It's not good for you Ahmad

This belonged to my mother

what's it doing around my neck then?

You have taken many things
from many people, let go of his hand

You know your pal here has
taken the girl to keep for himself?

- It's really a bad thing
- Yeah it's very bad

I didn't know you still didn't have
enough after having grabbed so much

- Why don't you pull your hat higher?
- I'm fed up with you

You've gathered a bunch of idiots around you

A man from the war and so on...

- And this one...
- How will you answer him?

We poured your coupons out of the window

- You did?
- Yeah I did

Let me put your glasses on

- Eiynie!
- Yes Ahmad?

Let's go

- Get out of the way
- What is it?

- What are you doing?
- What do you want?

- Get out of the way
- What is it?

Get away

The guys are here
you stay right here

Calm down

Listen Abdul
I'm not so naive...

To think all the goods here
are done by you

Or it's your fault
if our city went up

You're much weaker than that
to be able to do all that

But Reza here made me
understand many things

You dragged my father out of fire
I won't deny that

But you're slaving me for it

You're the same no matter where you are
you're a very lonely person

It's because you set any place on fire

You throw kids in sewages
and for some dollars

You feed anti-freeze to horses

You do many things that I
have to answer

Where are you Ahmad?
I can't see you

They'll kill you Ahmad
Don't go into the fire

Ahmad!

Ahmad?

Ahmad!
