all these transactions.

- Sophisticated in business,

yes, but--

- listen to me, listen to me!

We know everything about you.

What you stock in your pantry!

Even the kind of cognac

your wife likes to drink!

How sad it should come to this.

Here.

Help yourself.

We may be here a long time.

What's the matter?

- I... I need a light.

- Well, then, brother, just ask.

And I'd like the same from you.

When I ask you for something,

I'd like to get it without

too much difficulty. Come.

You can make it stop.

You can make it stop!

- Ah!

- Hello.

- Mama, it's me.

- Parviz.

- I'm just, uh... I'm checking

to see how you are.

- It is so good

to hear your voice.

- And how is shirin doing?

- She's fine.

- And baba?

- He's...

He's still at the office,

working late.

Listen, sweetheart,

would it be alright

if I call you back later?

I am expecting a call.

- Okay, sure.

- We love you.

- I love you, too.

- Good morning, khanoum.

- Good morning.

- Are you alright?

- Yeah...

I'm getting up.

- This practice, khanoum,

will have to stop.

- Oh, I only had one glass.

- One glass or 10,

it makes no difference.

It is illegal now.

- Is that a threat?

- It's just a fact, khanoum.

- The fact

is that this is my house.

And today is Wednesday...

So don't forget

to wash the windows.

- Yes, khanoum.

- Isaac.

- Barton.

Vartan sofoyan.

My god.

Three weeks ago,

you were teaching shirin

to play the violin.

I wish...

All prisoners

go back to your cells.

- Farnaz, please take it easy,

okay? Please!

- Sorry, but nobody's picking up

the phone in this place.

Why is that for?

- Just calm down.

- I don't understand

what's going on.

Talia, what is happening?

What are you doing?

- Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Everything's okay, don't worry.

- Morteza,

what is going on here?

- Nothing, we're just trying

to move the equipment and stones

to a more secure location.

- The stones?

- To protect them

from the revolutionaries.

We think they may want

to seize them.

- Is that so?

- Yes.

- And how do you know?

- Now listen to me,

trust me, okay?

I just want to help you.

Wait, wait, please.

- We would like to go in.

- No, you cannot go in now.

Just leave.

- Where are you taking

everything?

- To a safe place. Now go home.

You must have more important

things to take care of.

- I'm going in.

- No.

You're not going in.

I'm asking you nicely.

Don't let this get nasty.

I'm telling you--

- farnaz!

Farnaz!

Whoa, let me go, let me go.

Farnaz, be careful!

- What is going on here?

Farhanika...

...can you explain this?

- I'm sorry, khanoum,

things have gotten out of hand.

I tried to talk sense into them,

but there was no use.
