KILLING THE RABID DOG A film by: Bahram Beyzaie

Why so late, Nasser Moasser?

If I were you, I'd run.

You scared me to death!

Isn't it enough That you missed up my life?

Why are they after me now?

They came back?

They're always asking about you!

Your relations with the big shots, Your background...

Why should I pay such a price For your shady past, Gavad Moghadam?

I've broken with all of them! You know that!

What about your wife and kids, Who are abroad?

Have they done anything wrong?

Of course not!

How should I know?

I have to ask them.

Must you walk in front of the window?

Police?

Damn!

I've dug my own grave! They'll recognize me.

I gave them your old address And phone number.

I said you were abroad.

Leave that alone!

Is it tapped?

Why do you think I came here in the middle of the night?

You shouldn't have come!

You were to send word Via the secretary or caretaker.

And have witnesses in my file?

They can easily trace you. Everybody knows your Range Rover.

You'd have done the same!

I panicked. I went through the side streets And lost them.

In the phone box.

I won't wait any longer. I'll stay at the office.

If I can sleep at all... We can escape through the back door.

Why is the door open? Eivaz!

What's wrong? Caretaker!

You see! They've been here, too!

You weren't to go in till I came!

You took forever!

I took a detour. Don't you understand?

I had to lose them because of you!

You shouldn't have touched anything.

What should we do?

You're asking me?

It's one partner of the company Asking the other partner.

Who'll answer for all this?

So they questioned the caretaker, too.

Probably the secretary who knows The accounts.

I'm thinking of the one following me.

Following you?

You went calmly out the back door,

... but I had to drive the car with no lights!

So... they'll come after you here.

I've... got nowhere else to go.

No...

That's enough!

Leave the car. Take me home before they find my address!

Why didn't I bring my money and passport?

Let's go back!

We may not have another chance!

Do you think they'll have questioned The secretary?

Don't stay anything. Just drive.

You shouldn't have touched anything.

If she hasn't been in touch, It means they've raided her house.

Should we give her a call?

Right now?

It doesn't matter!

Just find out... What they've been asking her!

What if they're still there... Or on the line?

Have you forgotten?

Just 5 minutes.

Javad Moghadam, won't escape justice!

Even in here, in our bedroom!

Bastards! They asked about you... Only about you!

Have you gone crazy?

It might be my children!

It might also be the people you're running from!

I can't take it anymore!

Take me to a phone I can speak from!

So you can run off and leave me?

So I should give myself up?

If you were smart, you'd come with me. Nothing can stop me now.

I know a trustworthy middle man Who'll get me over the border.

Tonight!

Taxi! Taxi! Where do you want to go, lady?

Private car to rent!

Excuse me, Are you Mrs Golrokh Kamali?

Should I say yes, or no?

I'm Khavari. I'm here on behalf of Nasser Moasser.

Damn!

It's changed a lot, hasn't it?

What?

Tehran!

Where is he?

Who?

Nasser Moasser!

Probably in his clothes!

You said he sent you?

By phone.

He phoned an hour ago in a panic Begging me to take you to the hotel.

Hotel?

Why a hotel?

You mean he's there?

Look, you've trusted me so far.

He said: Send someone you can trust.

I thought: Who's more trustworthy than me?

Here.

Khavari, car dealer.

He came to my showroom To sell his Range Rover.

There he was! My old school friend.

Those were the days...

He ran the show in our neighborhood.

So he sold the car...

It was a wreck, a write - off.

I took no commission. Just what was due the company.

It's good you didn't see his downfall.

Downfall? Whose downfall?

My lips are sealed!

Why this way?

There's the house!

The house?

You passed it.

Which house?

You mean you don't know?

Don't tell me the house...?

My lips are sealed.

What's happened to him?

Stop a minute!

You idiot!

They bought it furnished?

What do I care?

How could I not recognize my own things?

Officer!

It's not mine, anyway...

So, you mean...

When I thought of friends, Especially old friends...

I felt sorry for Nasser Moasser's misfortune.

It's very hard to see someone like him give up.

Think they'll let a single woman stay at the hotel?

That's not necessary.

Your ID.

I didn't know it was so easy.

Everything's arranged, Mrs Kamali. Mr Moasser called himself.

Really?

Not a half hour ago!

I'd prefer my own house.

I really would.

This is your house, too, Madam. You'll see.

No. 603. Mr Moasser's very own room until yesterday.

Give him my best regards.

You have my card. I'm just a call away!

Breakfast, lunch and dinner hours.

Whatever time he calls, put him through. I'll be awake.

Golrokh Kamali

It's me in 603.

No news from Mr Moasser?

Sorry, it looks like he's here!

Yes?

From Mr Nasser Moasser.

Is there no message?

Hello, Father. It's me, Golrokh.

Yes, I got in fine. Very good.

Did you call?

At home?

Seem the number's been changed.

You know how numbers in Tehran are forever changing.

Me? in a hotel.

Why?

Why in a hotel? Hello...

What can I say?

Actually, it looks like we're moving To a nicer house.

We're in the process.

I'll ask him when I see him.

No, I haven't seen him yet,

... but I trust him.

I can feel him in this room.

I think I should never have doubted him All this time.

Yes, as you always told me. I remember.

I'm sick of my stupid, stubborn behavior.

I spent a whole year apart from him for nothing.

Closed.

I thought you knew. I haven't worked for him for 5 or 6 months.

How come you didn't hear?

I was politely asked to leave.

To tell you the truth, Contrary to what people thought,

... Mr Moasser never held a very high opinion of me.

There was a kind of distrust.

I later heard he went bankrupt. He's in a bad way.

I heard his partner ran away, Leaving him with the problems.

It's not serious, is it?

Such a respectable partner!

I didn't look for another job.

I'm getting married soon.

Oh, really?

I hope you'll come.

Of course, of course.

I'll be happy to see you in a white dress. Is it all prepared?

We might go to Europe.
