Captain Khorshid (ناخدا خورشید)

-Mamoo come on, let's go - Hold on, I'm coming

- Aren't you coming? - Khajeh isn't done yet

Or perhaps he's forgotten?

- Don't you want to come? - Where to?

- To the custom's office - What's going on there?

The custom officials are burning smuggled goods by the sea

So that's it Who does it belong to?

Your boss can teach the devil a few things here and there

- Hello - Hello

- Hello - Hello

Hello

The skipper is here to watch personally

He deserves it His fault for getting into cigarette business

- What about the rest? - A couple got smashed

It doesn't matter, you'd have to count it all to match our list

Okay

- Hello - Hi

- How are you? - Just fine, thanks

- So how is it going? - All ready, they've all been controlled

- Hello sir - Hello officer, how are you?

- Fine, thanks - Not much more work left is there?

No sir, it's all done it only needs some petrol and a spark

Skipper...

Come on skipper the Khajeh wants to have a word with you

Why are you talking instead of him? Doesn't the slime have a mouth to talk?

Listen to logic you pig-headed, if you get into the cigarette work he'll do much worse

Now that he's gotten it this far, I'm gonna start such a fire to burn the whole city along with Khajeh Majat all together

- What's the matter with those two? - What can I say, they're enemies

- But why? - Do you need reasons to become enemies?

There are some who were born enemies

Animosity can go way back

Maloul, pal, knock if off with genies

Khajeh Majed might not have legs but he's got a lot of money

He's a got a system, you and I can't match up to him, you keep messing with him and they'll confiscate your boat too

Confiscate? Based on what?

It's not as easy

Nobody's saw it

There are no witnesses testifying the cigarettes belonged to the skipper

- Nobody's seen the cigarettes on the Bambak - Maloul...

I'm not here for you and Maloul to sit and worry about me

I'm much beyond being worried for

Everything I had saved up during the past 30 years went all up in smoke with the cigarettes

Khajeh Majed's got a hold of cigarettes anyone getting into the business deals with him

I'd vowed this to be my last time...

Just so my family would be well off should anything happen to me

Goddam this Khajeh he's the cause of my bankruptcy

Listen to me Sa'doun

I have to carry something with the boat till I still have to do so

- Custom officials are searching for documents - So let them

- What documents? - Will you shut the hell up?

This boat's all left for me, I have to make money with it before it's taken away

I can't do much more having one arm at my age

- What do you plan to take? - Everything

I have to accept anything offered

- Anything? - That's right

Let's see, I'll let you know

- Did he have a partner too? - What?

- How much of the cigarettes belonged to him? - What do you mean how much?

It was all he had, worth thirty years...

What went up in smoke was fourty years of hard work

Just a strike of a match

Be careful

Someone should help him

Don't break it!

Take this to the car

Khalaf...

The shift boat is here

- Go and grab your chair, let's give the lRS boss a ride - It's the shift boat guys!

- Run - Move it

Come on boss, get in I'll take you personally

- Thank you - Here you are - Careful not to fall

Stop being so hasty you slimes

Watch your kid Fatemeh Careful he doesn't fall into the water

Stop please, my luggage My luggage pal, I left them

I left my suitcases behind pal Why don't you listen to me?

- That bastard, he stole my passanger - Stop pal, my suitcases

- Will you pay for them if they get lost? - It's alright

- What a thing to say! - He is my passanger

- What do you want? What... - Knock it off, he is Khalafs passanger

Oh no, he fell

Get back

- Come on - Move it, now

What the hell do you want from us?

What's going on?

- What is it? - What do you think?

- Tha slime dropped the boss in the water - Me? I did it?

- Of course you - It was Sambou who let go of the chair

You're no good for taking passangers

He's stubborn

Maloul, you're not made for this work

- See what you've done to the boss - That's not nice in front of everyone

- Take the boss to his house - His house?

Whose house? Where?

- I'm must a passanger here - What? - You're not the lRS director then?

Who, me?

I thought you told me that he was the lRS director

- Me, I told you so? - Yeah you - Knock it off already

- Get your hand off - But he's being unjust

This is the first time I meet this man

- Didn't you say it? - Forget it, I don't care who said it - Get back here

Oh!

I'm neither a boss nor a civil servant

Where should I take your belongings then?

- To a hotel - A hotel? - We don't have things like that in our city

Good God!

Okay, how about a motel or anything like that

- What's going on with you? - Just a place to spend the night in

Listen Maloul

- Let's take him to Mozif - No

- No? - No

- Where did you say? - Mozif

- Mozif? - It's a place...

For strangers from out of town it's like a motel

Do you really think we should take him there, no

Don't you want to come? Fine, don't then

- Where? What are you talking about? - Just come

How many porters do you need for such a small suitcase?

You pay him and send him off I'll take you somewhere

Ah?

Give it to me

Send it back for me later on

- A pack of Winston - I don't have any, the shop down there

- You got a catch so early? - No, the poor thing fell in the water

- Is he here on exile? - God knows

What happened to the city? An earthquake?

- Earthquakes can't make so much destruction - What then?

People keep houses alive and genies keep destructions alive

People left this place to have turned like this

- Or... - That's it

Mmm.

- But unfortunately I am - Really? What do you do?

- I work for the district at night - At night?

Yes, nights when the moon isn't out

- What do you do in the dark? - I work the lighthouse...

I set lanterns in the destroyed streets

Don't laugh mister!

- It's not nice - Why not?

Don't just look at the empty houses

This place's turned into a city for the ghosts eversince the residents left it

I'll check things out while you take a spin around here

Abdulbaghi...

That's him evacuate the upper room for him

- But I need that room for someone worthy - But he is worthy

That's what you think

Don't judge him by his appearance he fell into the sea

You can find the size of one's pocket by his hat, you don't know these things

The hat on his head must have cost him a lot

Let's go mister

- Does he want a private room? - Of course!

- Private, the one I told you - Okay, take him up

Let's go

Come up mister don't look at them

Let's go up, they're in exile

- Should I have clean sheets brought? - Is there a bath here?

- What? - A bath

Oh, to wash your body no...

You need to get out of this door like this it's back there

Thanks Maloul, you did a lot

- I didn't do it for the money mister - How can I find you if necessary?

- The port, Sa'doun Coffee House - Here, take it

No, it wasn't for the money we've made friends now

Maloul...

- Remember the skipper you told me about? - Our skipper?

The one you said his goods got confiscated Where is he?

Right here

- What do you want with him? - I want to meet him

Okay?

- Take it - I'll try to find him then

- Take it - I'll try to find him then

- Congratulations Maloul I hear you have a new wife - You're damn right

Colonel...

Colonel...

- Where is the colonel? - Don't yell so much, he's out

- I have some hot news for him - What is it?

- What is it? - What's the news? - Tell us already

- Mansour got killed guys - Oh no!

Don't believe what he says he's got something up his sleeves

- Which Mansour? - The king's minister

Didn't you see his signature on your order?

I hope you go to hell!

- I thought he was talking about my little brother - He's lying, nobody's got the guts

Why would I lie? He got hit

- How do you know it? - It's in the newspapers

- Where is it then? - I didn't have money to buy it

- Knock it off you liar! - What were you doing at the post office?

I'm not a nobody like you all are I might have a letter or something

But the postman delivers the letters

- Now tell us what you were doing there - Don't come closer or you'll catch leprosy

Don't come closer

- Don't, his head just about popped - It's called leprosy

- Don't beat him up - Oh...

Come...

Come on

How do you call yourselves friend?

He starts rubbing his nose on you just as soon as you want to talk to him

Are you happy now? Get out of here before you get killed

Why do you come here anyway? your exile time is up, go back to your family

- Who let you come here? - My teeth...my jaw is broken

Get the hell out of here they'll kill you if you come here again

Come on, get up and get out of here
