Tehran (טהרן)

Faraz.

Faraz.

Good morning. Did you sleep well?

Any special requests for breakfast, sir?

Just you.

Shit.

What is it?

Mohammadi called me in for a meeting. I have to go.

Target is on the move.

Goddamn him.

Hurry, he's coming.

- Hey, mister! - I'm sorry.

Watch where you're going!

I was walking this way. I didn't see you. Are you okay?

- Let me help you. - Never mind.

Get away! Get away, I said!

Once again, I apologize.

Have a nice day.

Idiot.

Same model as Peyman's.

Identical in every detail, except of course for the 40 grams of C-4.

That is the case, right?

Yes. I took a picture of it at the restaurant.

And here is the hardware you requested.

Peyman is playing tennis with his father tomorrow.

If we don't make the switch today,

I doubt whether we'll have another chance to get at Mohammadi.

Peyman will get a security detail any day now.

How will your people make sure that Peyman isn't in the room when it explodes?

Amir's downstairs.

Are you gonna tell me the story about breaking eggs to make an omelet?

I have one about chopping down a big tree.

Right. Little trees get crushed.

Sometimes. Not always.

Good luck.

Faraz Kamali left home in a rush this morning.

Yes. Good thing we're tracking his car.

You took a big risk, Marjan. Be careful.

I asked you for some rope, and you agreed.

Faraz's value as a potential asset

far outweighs any danger he may pose to Tamar or today's operation.

Today's operation is our priority, and it is not to be compromised.

Do we understand each other?

We do.

I hope so.

Wait for me here?

Good luck.

Thanks.

- Did you see Hamilton in Austria? - Did he win?

No, Verstappen took it.

He's just letting him have a bit of a lead.

Thirty points in a Grand Prix? That's one hell of a lead.

He'll take it this year, too. Mark my word.

Now that we're face-to-face, tell me...

what do you think about the position at Khatam al-Anbiya?

They're eager for you to fill it.

Dad, we talked about this.

I have business ventures of my own.

What ventures, boy?

Now that I got the appointment, you can't do business with the West anymore.

Forget it.

I don't understand. Why can't I?

Of course you understand. You're just not willing to accept it.

That chapter of your life is over.

You're here now.

To make the most of your potential, you have to join the Guard.

That is the system.

I've got issues with that system.

- You're starting that again. - No.

You talk about fulfilling my potential.

What can I even do? Or let's not talk about me.

What can anyone in my generation do

in this corrupt, failing top-down economy?

Enough!

I didn't send you to America to be brainwashed

so I could listen to your capitalist nonsense.

And you have a responsibility to your family as well.

Society sees you differently now, like it or not.

So what you do matters.

Come.

Good morning, General. How are you, Peyman?

I'm sorry if I'm early. Should I wait outside?

No, you're just in time.

- Peyman, you remember your uncle Faraz? - Of course.

How is your wife?

Doing well, thank God.

It's good to see you back home. You've become quite the man, haven't you?

Go.

Go on.

- Tennis tomorrow? - Sure.

Dear boy.

Think about what we discussed.

Okay.

His generation is hopeless.

They think they're the center of the universe. Were we like that?

You're right.

We were given weapons and tossed into battle.

Best school I ever had.

All right, I'm listening.

We have an issue with one of the young members of the Nemati family.

We suspect he's involved with the Israelis.

The last thing I need right now is trouble with the Nemati family.

I can't make waves.

You know this is a dispute between ruling factions.

Things are in motion.

Big things, historic.

- You have to leave now. - Thank you.

My friend, welcome.

Please.

Come, sit. I hope you're hungry.

How'd it go?

We got the go-ahead.

Great.

But we need to keep things quiet.

Meaning?

You don't know what that means?

We have to be discrete, no arrests.

How are we supposed to work?

Ali...

keep this in mind.

Mohammadi has a lot of irons in the fire right now.

We can't rely on him.

So we're not officially sanctioned to operate.

The North Korean ambassador went in there.

SO WE'RE NOT OFFICIALLY SANCTIONED TO OPERATE.

Seems like things are in motion.

THE NORTH KOREAN AMBASSADOR WENT IN THERE.

SEEMS LIKE THINGS ARE IN MOTION.

- Leyla, you made it! - Hey.

- Hey. - How are you?

- You look gorgeous. - Thank you.

Come, on, come on. So, what do you think?

It looks amazing.

- Right? - Yeah.

What can I get you?

Whatever you're having.

Yeah? All right, wait here.

You never know anything. You have no answers.

Will you get off your phone?

I said I don't want to.

- All right. - Thank you.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

It was a cold night.

I remember it was raining.

Try to stay in the present tense. "It's raining."

It's raining.

But inside the ambulance, it's hot.

Where is the ambulance going?

To Faraz.

He's in the hospital recovering from his second operation.

They let me into his room.

He looks so pitiful.

Pale. Skinny.

I barely recognize him.

I feel sick, so I go to the bathroom.

I hear knocking on the door.

I don't open it.

They break it open and drag me out.

Force me to take a pill.

I have your hand.

Put it on the couch.

This is your couch.

It's your house.

There is nothing to be afraid of.

It's just you and me.

Breathe.

When you feel safe, open your eyes.

I went to see this awesome industrial complex today.

I could build 200 luxury apartments there.

In this economy, who's going to buy a luxury apartment downtown?

- You're delusional. - Totally.

Just wait and see what I turn that place into.

You're all talk.

No, thanks. I'm good.

- No? - I'm good. I'm good.

All right. Okay.

Why do you look so glum? What is it?

I saw you two arguing earlier. Are you okay?

It's like my mother always says:

"There are girls you party with and girls you marry."

What about the things that are most important to you?

Would your mother also tell you to give up on them?

Are you a kickboxer or a psychologist?

Hey.

You could've ruined my phone.

Boo-hoo. You couldn't afford a waterproof one?

Are you drunk already?

Come on in. No, he's afraid to drown. Unbelievable.

- Keep it up and you'll drown yourself. - Yeah?

Come and get me.

I'll show you.

Come on.

Ready or not, here I come!

I dare you!

What was that? I can't hear you. You're underwater.

What's wrong with you?

What? You afraid of swallowing a little water?

- Here, let me get you a drink. - Get over here.

Peyman! Peyman! Peyman! Peyman! Peyman! Peyman!

I'll be right out.
