The Persian Connection Page #2

Guilt is a terrible thing.

It lingers...

It festers.

They say Jesus died of it.

Oh, Behrouz-Jan...

Your call, Basiji.

Agh!

Do you know how they cure drug

addicts in Iran?

They torture the darkness out.

But your darkness, Behrouz,

runs bone deep.

During the revolution,

Khomeini's dogs

would round up the

shah's council.

Place a gun with three bullets

to their head,

pull the trigger

and leave the rest to god.

Argh...!

God favours you, Basiji.

Don't let him down.

F***.

Sepehr...

Cirrus:

What did he do?

What did he do?

His life

or yours.

Cirrus-Jan, please.

For the love of god...

Why does cirrus Golshiri want me

to kill you?

I'll make tea.

You know what they said

to me earlier?

Why do you still let

that man come here?

He's not one of us.

He's a loner. Gangster.

Killer.

My f***ing god...

America's a country full

of loners and thieves

who kill for money and ego.

In Iran...

the value of a man is worth

what he gives, not takes.

My father gave his life on the

road to Karbala...

F*** your father!

Why are you here?

Why does Cirrus want you dead?

Agh!

Ah...!

Oh!

Agh!

Agh!

What are you doing? Stop it!

What are you doing!?

Help! Help!

You thought I was

going to kill you?

You thought I was going

to kill you?!

I wouldn't tell you!

I would f***ing kill you,

you f***ing idiot!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Sepehr:

Behrouz...

Pray with me.

You need a hospital.

No!

No, no, no...

Sepehr?

Man:

Bezy, Bezy, Bezy...

Behrouz, you are a sick man.

F*** you.

Papa?

Your papa is over here.

Run!

Run!

- Run, Sasha!

- Behrouz!

Sasha:

Bez?

What the f***'s going on?

Behrouz:

Shh!

Farid:
Bezy? I know you're

in here somewhere...

Behrouz:

Sasha! Wait.

Behrouz:

Get in!

Behrouz?

Oksana, we...

We have to leave now.

What is he doing here?

What happened to your face?

I'm fine.

Get your stuff.

Are you going to say anything?

Behrouz! Say something!

Sepehr is dead. They're after

Sasha. They're after me.

If we don't leave now, they will

put us in an unmarked grave.

Sasha:

Bez!

They're coming.

Bez, they're coming.

Stay quiet.

Sasha...

Agh!

Come on!

Oksana:

Behrouz!

Behrouz:

Oksana, this way!

Oksana:

Are you alright?

What's going on?

Say something!

Behrouz!

What!? I'm driving!

After they leave,

I went to my dad's room...

And I find this old sweet tin

from Iran filled with...

I kid you not,

opium.

My dad and Behrouz are f***ing

o-p buddies.

Holy sh*t!

I wanna smoke opium!

Go to the room up at the end of

the hall.

Sara:

Behrouz?

Oh my god.

What happened to your face?

I'm fine. There was an accident.

We're gonna spend the night.

I should call papa.
