MARMOULAK (THE LIZARD)
-
Come in
-
Come on
-
Hi, there!
-
Hello, Mr. Reza Mesghali
-
At your service
-
Your record is really a mess
-
That's life!
-
It seems we have to
spend a lot of time together
-
The rest of your life to be exact
-
Excuse me, Mr. Mojavez
-
but I am not staying here long,
they've made a mistake
-
Really!
-
I've got me a lawyer, I've appealed
-
You have asked for an appeal, of course!
-
Whatever... you know, sir I ain't
into armed robbery and all that!
-
No stealin' and no drinkin'
in the holy months
-
I've never even held a blowgun in my life
-
- I've been framed
- Are you finished?
-
I don't know you, do I?
-
I refer to the case in from of me
which says you're a disturbed person
-
It tells me you've been imprisoned
several times for different crimes
-
but you have never reformed
-
It tells me that you
are a danger to society
-
- Yeah, but...
- Don't interrupt me, son!
-
I stated the facts
-
- But I think you're a good person
- Cool, man!
-
Everyone is good
-
Even an armed robber like you
-
Don't interrupt me!
-
Do you know why people go on diet?
-
Well, to get thinner
-
To get thinner and for their health
-
I believe we have to go on
a diet for our spiritual health
-
So this is not a prison,
and I am not the prison warden
-
- It's a spiritual clinic
- Wow!
-
And you are patients who come here to
gain your spiritual health through my diet
-
I will send you to heaven
even if I have to use force
-
- What was so funny about that?
- Nothing
-
the part about how you wanna
send us to heaven was a little cute!
-
Yes, it sounds strange, but it can be done
-
Provided that you follow
the spiritual diet I prescribe
-
Although it is not so easy
-
Soldier! Take our friend
to the solitary confinement!
-
Why to the solitary?
-
First, so you do not interrupt me again
-
Second, so you do not laugh at my words
-
And third, because solitary
is good for people like you
-
You will thank me later
-
Take him away
-
Mr. Mesghali!
-
Welcome to your new home
-
Get going!
-
- How long you're in for, colonel?
- Take your hand off!
-
Keeps asking questions!
-
Hi, there
-
Are you done? Come on
-
Get out...
-
Get going
-
Oh, the poor thing is stuck!
-
Hey, can't you get it loose?
-
I tried, but my shirt got torn, look
-
Then shoot it and
put it out of its misery
-
I've gotta answer for my bullets
-
Otherwise I'd shoot ten crows a day
-
If you don't shoot it,
I'll come up and set it free
-
Come up? How?
-
- The wall
- This wall? How?
-
- I'll grab it and climb up
- Bullshit!
-
- I'll bet you
- I'll take the bet
-
- How much do you bet?
- Tonight's dinner
-
- Okay
- Okay
-
Making bets?
-
Hello!
-
I am willing to make a bet
-
Betting in itself isn't wrong
so long as it doesn't turn into gambling
-
So you say you can climb
this wall without a ladder?
-
Well, yeah
-
So we will make a bet
in from of these friends
-
If you climb this wall, you won't
do any chores for a whole week
-
and if you don't, you'll spend
another week in solitary, how's that?
-
You can't! it's impossible
-
I'm in
-
- Go on and show what you can do
- He's lyin'
-
With your permission
-
Go! Go! Right on, man! Come on up!
-
He climbs like Spiderman
-
Hey bro, don't take it too far
when we smile at you for five minutes
-
Get down now
-
Well done
-
Thanks man
-
You won the bet and did a good deed
-
Take him to the solitary
-
Solitary? Are you kiddin'?
-
No, you are going to the solitary
to quit the bad habit of climbing
-
especially climbing prison walls
-
You coward!
-
No, I'm not going back on my word
-
You can rest for a whole
week, but in the solitary
-
Don't make any noise
-
Your appeal was rejected
-
You're going to be our guest
for a long time, get inside
-
I said get inside
-
I fell in love with my wife
the first time I saw her
-
But when I stopped lovin'
her, she stopped breathin'
-
Now I like you
-
For now!
-
You're an important guy
-
Don't worry about the bunks
-
You take the bottom one
-
And I'll take the top, I'm so tired
-
Not from there, can't you
see I've cleaned it! From here
-
I changed my mind, I'll take
the bottom bunk, you take the top one
-
That side is still clean
-
You seem angry with me!
-
You guys don't understand
-
I only want to cure you
-
Believe me it's a difficult task
-
Do you know how?
-
How what?
-
To pray?
-
Well yeah, but I've forgotten
-
Everyone's forgotten
-
Ain't nothing to it, just bend down...
-
A mosque is no place for
this behavior, remember that
-
Take him to the solitary
-
Get up
-
Come on!! Get inside
-
Come on!
-
From now on it's going to be like this
-
Why don't you eat?
-
If my late wife could cook
like this, she'd be alive now!
-
Okay, it ain't the end of the world
-
You should thank God
you've got your health
-
Would you rather be free but have no...?
-
It was my fault, I started it, should I go?
-
- Where?
- To the solitary
-
No, son
-
All inmates who are sentenced
to life are rowdy at first
-
But soon they get used to it
-
I hope it will be a happy life together
-
Sit down, son, sit down and eat
-
Take this one to the solitary
-
Let's go
-
- He said that one
- Move
-
My teardrops fell
-
My eyes became seas in my teardrops
-
your shadow appeared
-
Colonel, let me clean your glasses
-
Mind your own business,
get on with your work!
-
Come on!
-
Go
-
To hell with it, I'll appeal again
-
- What are you doing?
- Nothin'
-
Are you going to kill yourself!?
-
I said I ain't doin' nothin'
-
Look the other way, put that glass away
-
I said I ain't gonna do nothin',
go and watch soccer
-
So you can go kill yourself
in peace? I won't let you
-
Damn it, leave me alone
-
You coward, suicide is a sin
-
If you take one more pill,
I'll kill you with my own hands
-
Look what you did? I cut my arm
-
You cut it?
-
Where?
-
Here!
-
Hello, brother
-
Hello
-
Looks like you were very
hopeless to want to...
-
Say whatever you want,
but don't preach me
-
I didn't intend to preach you
-
I just wanted to say that at
such times you may rely on God
-
Rely on God for what?
-
I live like a dog, I get no respect
-
they beat me on the head
-
and then they say rely on God
-
The heaven and hell that everyone says...
-
Sorry to interrupt, but
heaven and hell are nonsense
-
It's for foolin' folks like you and me
-
They say these things to fool us
-
Who?
-
The Mullahs
-
Of course the Mullahs have
bad and good among them too
-
Yeah, they bought the
good ones at a high price
-
they're waitin' to sell
'em in the right season
-
Colonel, you didn't tell me
how long you've been here?
-
Ah! How many times do you ask? Get going
-
Look at these muscles, dude
-
Get inside
-
I see you are much better today
-
My health doesn't get
any better or worse
-
Sorry about this man,
we didn't have any empty beds
-
It's okay! Actually we
became friends right away
-
our friend has a lot of
respect for the clergy
-
Oh, how nice
-
Goodbye
-
I'm really ashamed, sir
-
Why? There is no need
for you to be ashamed
-
Well, sometimes when you're upset,
you've gotta cuss at someone
-
And who better than us, Mullahs?
-
My name is Reza
-
My name's Reza too
-
You know, Hajji
-
if l hadn't seen your clothes,
I'd never think you're a Mullah
-
How come?
-
Your hands don't look
like the hands of a Mullah
-
Because being a Mullah
is not my profession
-
What d'ya mean?
-
I'm a plaster-moulder,
traditional plaster-molding
-
it's my forefathers' profession
-
- Is that possible?
- Why not?
-
Man is worthy of honor
for his soul and humanity
-
Beautiful attire do not reflect his worth
-
Right on, man! Humanity!
-
How is it, doc?
-
Good, I think you can
be released tomorrow
-
But, Doc, I ain't feelin' well yet
I feel weak, my arm hurts
-
Do you want me to recommend
that you stay here for a week?
-
I'd appreciate that
-
No way, I'll tell them to take you tomorrow
-
I don't wanna go back to that hell-hole
-
If I go back, I'll cut my artery
-
Have you lost hope again, Reza?
-
Do you know what, Hajji?
-
Even if there is a hell
I'll end up in the worst part of it
-
No, dear brother!
-
There are as many ways to
reach God as there are people
-
What?
-
I said there are as many ways
to reach God as there are people
-
What does that mean?
-
It means that God doesn't
close all his doors on his people
-
Don't lose hope
-
Excuse my language, but do you
Mullahs have to preach all the time?
-
No, we're not the only ones who preach
-
Listen!
-
People buy everything from stores
-
But since there are no
stores that sell friends
-
they can’t buy friends
and they feel lonely
-
if you want a friend, tame me
-
He asked: what does tame mean?
-
The fox said: it means make me love you
-
and this is something that
is totally forgotten nowadays
-
He asked: how can I do that?
-
The fox said: you have to
have patience, a lot of patience
-
So they've got preachers
all over the world then
-
That's right, my dear brother
-
Say hi to him for me
-
Peace be upon you too...
-
I'll take a shower before
they come to get you
-
I had a great time Hajji
-
I had never hung out
with a cool Mullah before
-
I had a great time too
-
I had never hung around
with a cool prisoner like you before
-
- Hello, Hajji
- Peace be upon you
-
Fereshteh Street!
-
Fereshteh Street!
-
Damn it!
-
Fereshteh Street?
-
I didn't wanna trouble you
-
No trouble, Hajji,
we owe you a lot more than this
-
Thank you, I've been
hangin' there for a long time
-
Yes, people have become very bad,
they have no respect any more
-
Unfortunately, that's how it is
-
Dear brother, this is the wrong way
-
What wrong way, Hajji? This is
a reserved lane for special traffic
-
and I have a special passenger
-
Hello? Hello? Yes? I'm coming
-
I'll be there in two minutes
-
I'm taking a shortcut
-
Oh fine, now the cops are here
-
Registration and drivers license
-
Hello, officer
-
Hajji is in a hurry, and that's
why we came this way, Hajji
-
Hello, officer, how are you?
-
We apologize and promise
it won't happen again
-
It better not happen again, go ahead
-
Pardon me, but Fereshteh
Street is not this way!
-
Oh! Fereshteh?
-
Hajji, I thought you said Ferdowsi
-
Sorry, but I'm late and I have
to make a turn here, I'm sorry
-
No problem
-
Have you heard the poem
-
mother took me by the hand
and taught me to walk?
-
This two G's for Ferdowsi street
-
This two for Fereshteh street
and two for the one way street
-
You left your wallet in my pocket!
-
Hello
-
Yes?
-
Who?
-
All right!
-
Are you Brother Jackson?
-
Yes?
-
You are under arrest for smuggling
and purchasing stolen goods
-
- Uh! Hajji you are making a mistake!!
- You jackass! l!'s me! Reza!
-
You idiot! What's this?
-
I've become his holiness Mullah Reza
-
So everything's cool?
-
I don't have to say it again now!
-
I don't want him to get into any trouble
-
Bye!
-
Is he a cool dude?
-
This Mahmoud Motazedi
is sharper than you think
-
Don't look at his age
-
He can forge passports
-
that even the passport office...
can't tell if it's original or fake
-
His hang-out is Mozafari teahouse
-
He'll pick you up at the train station
-
You'll just get your passport
it's all been paid for
-
Thanks a lot, man
-
For instance, one of the unique
capabilities used in the internet is chatting
-
Internet, chat, multimedia
-
What are you talking about?
-
Mullahs don't talk like this
-
- Look! Then what's this?
- This is an exception
-
You better talk like regular Mullahs
-
Look!
-
We will continue our discussion of
salvation in ultimate darkness...
-
By reviewing the movie Pulp fiction
-
Jackson, they talk about everything
-
Like this... what did
he say? Pul fiction?
-
- Pulp fiction
- What does it mean?
-
It's the name of a movie,
eat your dinner
-
As Tarantino says: I want
to be where God wants me
-
Hello
-
What a hell raiser! God bless him
-
Hello
-
Hey, Hajji, your turban is backwards!
-
Shove off...
-
God bless you all
-
Give my regards to your mother!
-
Welcome, Hajji, peace be upon you
-
Peace and God's mercy be upon you
-
Please come this way
-
You should be comfortable here
-
I'm flattened by your kindness
-
God willing, during the trip,
we will use your grace's presence
-
Yes, yes, may God accept
-
With your permission
-
What!
-
Peace and God's mercy be upon you
-
Peace and God's mercy
and benevolence be upon you
-
Hajji, is it okay with you if a passenger
sits here temporarily, until the next station?
-
- Please, no problem
- Go on in
-
Hello
-
I'm really sorry, there were
no empty family compartments
-
and I thought next to you would
be the safest place for these ladies
-
Yes, they'll be safe here
-
They will only bother
you until the next station
-
What bother? it's an honor
-
With your permission
-
Please sit down, Lady
-
Hello Hajji
-
- Forgive me, Hajji
- No problem
-
My legs were falling off from moving
from one compartment to another
-
Yes!
-
What can I say, Hajji?
-
He was this big, but
his... was only this big
-
Oh, my God! What are you saying?
-
Dear, Mullahs are like doctors,
you can confide in them
-
Yes, if you don't tell these things
to us, who're you gonna tell?
-
Yes, you were saying, Lady
-
Yes, forget about his
problem, he hit her, Hajji
-
Oh God, we ask for
your forgiveness and...
-
To you we repent
-
To you we repent,
some people are really bad
-
Yes, Hajji, Faezeh's body
was always black and blue
-
Faezeh, show your bruise to Hajji
-
But I can't, mum
-
I want Hajji to see
what you've been through
-
He thought I'm scared of
him because he is a bully
-
I filed a complaint and
got my daughter's divorce
-
Oh my God, what hardship
you've been through
-
He still wants Faezeh,
he keeps asking her to go back to him
-
But I said shut up, over my
dead body can you have her
-
Don't you make that
mistake, Lady Faezeh
-
No, Hajji, the three years I lived
with him was enough for a lifetime
-
Please pray for her, Hajji
pray she finds a good husband
-
God willing, a hot dish...
-
I mean a modest, smart lady like
her, won't be hard to pass off...
-
What happened?
-
Nothing, she fell asleep
-
So fast?
-
Yes, she always falls
asleep all of a sudden
-
How nice, poor child
-
What has that degenerate
man done to you?
-
May God punish him
-
Yes, I think he loved me you know!
-
But he was a brute
-
Yes, they should cut off the hands
of a man who'd hit a lady like you
-
Thank you, Hajji,
can you close that window?
-
My mother is not well,
she'll catch a cold
-
- Are you okay?
- Yes, yes
-
Thank God, okay, I'll get the window
-
Uh! What happened, Hajji?
-
Nothing, I'm stuck
-
I'll get it out right away
-
Do you want me to pull
the emergency breaks?
-
Don't touch the brakes,
I will fix it myself
-
Thank you, God bless you
-
Forgive us, Hajji, the windows are
rusty and they get stuck sometimes
-
No problem
-
Okay, sisters, take your stuff
-
Hajji wants to be comfortable
-
No, I am comfortable, where are
you taking them? Let them stay here!
-
We have an empty family
compartment now, let's go
-
Goodbye, Hajji
-
You know how we Mullahs are
-
We love having company
-
Please stay
-
I've thought about
finding you company too
-
Go right ahead, gentlemen
-
Peace and God's mercy
and benevolence be upon you
-
I bear witness that there is no
God but the one and Only God
-
I have gone there
15 times already this year
-
The good thing is that you don't
need a visa, you only need a passport
-
Right colonel?
-
I don't know much about there
-
What's the meaning of that, colonel?
-
We want to provide a service to people
-
Those are customs regulations,
I don't know about them
-
Where do you work?
-
I am in the criminal investigation
department, we catch thieves
-
May God reward you
-
You're providing a service
-
Looks like we have
to get off for prayers
-
We will hold a mass prayer
because of your presence Hajji
-
We'll get two pence more out of it
-
Me? But I, if you allow me...
-
So you said you are a preacher Hajji?
-
With your permission
-
You are going to your mosque then?
-
- If God accepts me
- God willing
-
They say you have to pull
your hand down to the hairline
-
How far should I go?
-
Do what "Rostam" did, my dear
brother, come on, it's getting late
-
Hajji Amiri, come do your
ablution, the train will leave soon
-
Which mosque are you going to, Hajji?
-
AI-Amir mosque, if I'm not mistaken
-
AI-Amir? Where is that?
-
It should be around here
-
You see, Hajji? A train full of people
and less than 20 people come for prayers!
-
There are some folks who
don't even know how to pray
-
Shall we line up, Hajji?
-
Line what up?
-
Hajji is kidding, please, Hajji
-
When I'm praying
I totally forget the time
-
Please pray for us, Hajji
-
That's what I meant
-
May God accept our prayers, Hajji
-
- Exactly
- Please pray for us, too
-
Okay, I hope you all, God willing
-
Dear brother, I didn't
want to trouble you
-
What trouble, Hajji?
We were taken by your virtues
-
Don't say that, your virtues
were much better than mine
-
I wanted to ask you
something in private, Hajji
-
Excuse me!
-
I am constantly traveling and
I'm always away from my family
-
and that puts a lot of pressure on me!
-
I understand, get to the point
-
What are the temporary
marriage laws for people like us?
-
You don’t know what a
heaven they have there!
-
Unlawful
-
You mean there isn't any
other way? Any exceptions?
-
No, that is totally unlawful
-
And it is written that whoever does that
-
the angels will spit on him
and he will die a terrible death
-
and Satan will personally
service your mouth to his mouth
-
Better to just have a pleasant trip!
-
- Let's go, Hajji
- Where to?
-
I will drop you off at Amir Mosque
-
I don't want to trouble you
-
No trouble at all, Hajji,
let's go, the car is waiting
-
Actually they are going to pick me up
-
Really? You're not just saying that?
-
No, I think they must
be right around here...
-
Hajji, they have come for you!
-
Welcome Hajji
-
I am Hajji Fazly
-
This Hajji is a very great
man and a true believer
-
Don't take him for granted
-
I can tell just by looking at him
-
I think there has been a mistake
I'm supposed to go to some mosque
-
That's our mosque, Hajji
-
We knew you were coming a week ago
-
We wrote so many letters to the prayer
organization that we finally got results
-
Well, thank God
-
Excuse me, what's the
name of your mosque?
-
- Amir mosque, Hajji
- Didn't I tell you?
-
Everything is correct, Sir!
I leave Hajji in your hands then
-
- Allow me
- Good luck, Hajji
-
How nice! This was our Hajji?
-
Why? Do you know him?
-
Yes, we were in the same train
come up, Hajji, welcome
-
Then why didn't you tell us, Hajji?
-
I didn't? I thought I did!
-
Anyhow, I hope God gives me
the service to offer you my strength
-
Please Hajji,
please sit in the front, Hajji
-
I want to get some
fresh air if you allow me
-
- No way, please take the from seat
- I just want some fresh sir, please
-
With your permission we'll be going now
-
Why don't you leave?
-
We've got a flat tyre, you go on, Hajji
-
- Take care of yourself
- Good luck
-
Excuse me can you tell me where
the border and customhouse is?
-
The border patrol station
is 5 km from our village
-
Right
-
And can people cross
the border from there?
-
Yes, but the regulations are strict
-
Because there are too many smugglers
and thieves trying to cross this border
-
they only allow people
with passports to across
-
I see!
-
May we be excused, Hajji?
-
Come this way, Hajji
-
You go on, I'll escort these dear souls
-
I also ask your permission
-
We live right around here,
please come and visit us
-
Thank you, I sure will, God willing
-
Peace be upon you, sir
-
Well, the new Mullah, hi there
-
- Leave him alone, Javad
- I won’t bother him!
-
My name's Javad Delangiz,
at your service
-
Glad to meet you
-
It shows on your face
-
Are you comin' back from Tehran now?
-
What's it to you? You're
not her husband anymore
-
Let me carry your bag
-
No need! We don't need
your help, let's go Faezeh
-
Excuse us, Hajji, goodbye
-
Are you leaving?
-
God be with you
-
Hajji Ahmadi, this way please,
they're waiting for you
-
- I'll be seein' you, Hajji
- Yes, do so, I'd like that
-
This way, Hajji
-
It's been more than a year that
our mosque hasn't had a clergy
-
but I've kept its light burning
-
As you see, this is the roofed summer time
altar, the main section is on the other side
-
We have a few chambers around here
-
We hold the 'Komeil'
prayer every Thursday
-
We hold Koran classes for the
youth and l teach them myself
-
Unfortunately very few people
come to the mosque, Hajji
-
Now that Hajji has come here, God willing,
our mosque will prosper like old times again
-
You're practically a Mullah yourself
-
You lead prayers, you teach
Koran, you've got it all down
-
Actually my father was a Mullah
-
But certain turns in my life
made me unable to continue
-
Thank God, Gholamali has
chosen to follow his grandfather
-
Thank God
-
He knows four sections
of the Koran by heart, Hajji!
-
- Six sections, Hajji!
- Wow! Praise the Lord
-
God willing, he is going to
memorize all the Koran this year
-
He's going to enter
the national competition
-
God willing
-
But he has to work hard at it
-
When you love the Koran,
it won't be hard at all
-
God willing, he'll become a champ
and join the national soccer team
-
- May I ask you a question, Hajji?
- Sure
-
You have done studies
in theological cognition?
-
No, I've spent my whole life in Qom
-
These are your quarters, Hajji
-
You must forgive us, but
this was the best we could afford
-
Don't mention it, it's a great place!
-
You have put up a lot of effort
-
- Is this the getaway?
- Pardon me?
-
- I mean the gateway
- Yes, sort of
-
I have a question, Hajji
-
Don't ask so many questions, Mojtaba
-
Hajji is tired, ask him at
prayer, with your permission
-
God be with you
-
I want these two handsome
youngsters to stay, I want to talk to them
-
As you wish, Hajji
-
At your service, Hajji
-
Well, dear ones, now tell
me how you do your ablution
-
and how many sections
does each prayer have?
-
Yes, hajji, in the name of God
-
Morning prayer has two sections,
noon and evening prayers have four
-
and the night prayer has three sections
-
Don't be so upset, Mojaver
-
A prisoner's job is to escape
and ours is to catch him
-
You don't get the point, Major
-
This had never happened
in my prison before
-
This man has ruined my reputation
-
Look, he can't go anywhere
-
We've put out an A.P.B on him
-
We have put surveillance on everyone
who has been in contact with him
-
their phones are tapped
-
One mistake and he will be arrested
what else do you want?
-
Think about it, Mojaver
-
If none of the prisoners escape,
what's the use of a warden?
-
Hajji is here, praise his holiness
-
- Please lead, Mr. Fazly
- Please, Hajji
-
I mean it, makes no difference,
I'd be more comfortable that way
-
Thanks, Hajji, we're at your service
-
Well, call the "Azan" so we can begin
-
- l already called
- Called who?
-
- The "Azan", sir
- Right
-
Why are you standing there?
-
I'm hereto say the praises, sir
-
Okay
-
- Deliver a sermon for us, Hajji
- A what?
-
These folks haven't come
to the pulpit for a long time
-
Give us a sermon
-
You mean pray again?
-
No, I mean preach for us, Hajji
-
Oh, you mean up there
-
Umm... in the name of God
-
Today, that for the first time
-
I am with you respectful citizens
-
I am very happy to be
present in this radiant crowd
-
I want to tell you what
we are going to discuss today
-
it's about the different ways of finding God
-
Which are as many as there are people
-
Well, what does that mean?
-
It means that for you, for example,
there is a path for you that leads to God
-
And there is another path
for the person next to you
-
- For you...
- Me?
-
No, the man in the blue coat behind you
-
- Me?
- Yes
-
There is a path for
you that leads to God
-
For Mr. Fazly there is a path
that leads to God too
-
For the baker, the butcher, the prisoner...
-
Yes, pay attention to this word
-
There is also a path for that miserable
criminal prisoner that leads to God
-
Now that I mentioned prisoners,
I want to tell you something
-
Imagine you want to enter a house, okay?
-
There are several ways for that
-
You can use the key
and open the door, okay?
-
But if you don't have a key,
the other option is a master key
-
If you don't have a master key, you can
use a piece of wire, clippers, a screwdriver
-
Or you may climb the wall
use a rope, and so on
-
Now sometimes you may want to climb
the neighbor's wall to enter the house
-
In my opinion that's okay too
that's another way that leads to God
-
Of course provided that you don't bother
the neighbors, in my opinion that's alright too
-
Anyhow, there is no person in the world
who doesn't have a path to reach God
-
l mean God has given people
lots of paths and they all lead to...
-
God!
-
God! Well done, that was so cool
-
Okay, that ends today's
sermon, as simple as that
-
May God be with all of you
-
- That was an interesting sermon, Hajji
- Don't mention it
-
- Inquiry, Hajji!
- What?
-
Question, Hajji
-
The value of "Al-Qadr Night"
is more than 1000 months, why?
-
I'll let Mr. Fazly answer this question
-
because I want to see how
much religious knowledge he has
-
Please, Mr. Fazly
-
No offense Hajji
-
Because on this night God
sends the angels down
-
and determines the
events of a whole year
-
praying on this night is more
valuable than praying for 1000 months
-
Applaud him
-
It's truly amazed!
-
Well done to all of you for being such
knowledgeable and literate believers
-
- Well done
- I have another...
-
Allow me to answer
you in the next session
-
I want to go for a
pilgrimage to the shrine
-
Let us be together tonight, Hajji
-
We have prepared a simple dinner
-
God willing, tomorrow
I will take you wherever you want
-
Thank God, I hadn’t had
such good chow in a long time
-
You must forgive us, Hajji
-
I'm sure it wasn't as good
as what you eat at home
-
It was much better
-
- Inquiry!
- Yes?
-
Hajji, in the North Pole we have six
months of nights and six months of days
-
How do we say our day
and night prayers over there?
-
You look at me as if you have
a bus ticket for the North Pole
-
and you want to leave right now!
-
Actually, there are differences
among the clergy over this issue
-
Some of them believe that we Muslims
should never go to the North Pole
-
because we are used to warm climates
and the cold weather will bother us
-
Why should we go to a place
where we might freeze to death?
-
Then, if a war breaks out between
the Muslims and North pole
-
What would happen to a Muslim
who might be taken captive?
-
Yes!
-
Actually this is what
the other clergy say
-
All the prayers that you say
during the six months of night
-
will be considered
as night prayers and so...
-
To hell with the North Pole
-
Say your prayers according to
the local time of your own country
-
Then if we take that...
-
Case closed, eat your yoghurt!
-
One of the locals has a very good voice,
he wants to sing a song if you would allow it
-
Of course, why not? Actually
reciting a song helps your digestion
-
Please
-
I have sprinkled water in the streets
-
so there is no dust when he comes
-
Well done
-
Excuse me, Hajji, but
I hope this music is not profane
-
There's nothing wrong with it
actually it is very good
-
But a mosque is no place for singing!
-
Mr. Fazly, who says a mosque
is only a place for mourning?
-
Actually sometimes it's good
to cheer up and raise hell
-
Well done
-
That really hit the spot after
the dinner we had, well done
-
One move Hajji!
-
God willing, in good time!
-
- Hajji, peace be upon you, Hajji
- Peace and God's blessing to you
-
- Do you want to go to the city, Hajji?
- With your permission
-
Do you want us to come
along so you don't get lost?
-
No need, I don't get lost
-
Excuse me, Hajji, I have a
question about virtuous acts
-
Listen, dear brother, I don't have
time to answer your question now
-
But it's like you two you're
sticking to me like bloodsuckers
-
and you follow me wherever I go
-
This is not...
-
- Virtuous!
- Virtuous!
-
Where are you going, Hajji?
-
To hell! God forbid!
-
God willing, I want to go
to the shrine for pilgrimage
-
I had a vision last night
and he asked for me
-
How fortunate you are, Hajji
-
Please pray for us, Hajji
-
- He looks like a saint!
- Braveheart Shojayi!
-
Please don't get up,
go on with your work
-
What have you done, Reza?
-
At your service, Reza the Lizard
I missed you so much
-
Café Mozafari
Drug addicts not allowed
-
- What do you want?
- Hello
-
Who do you wanna see?
-
I wanna see Mahmoud Motazedi
-
What do you want?
-
I've come from Tehran, Jackson sent me
-
Are you Reza the Lizard?
-
With your permission!
-
Mahmoud was waitin' for you
at the train station, but you didn't show up
-
The cops are here!
-
Get out! I said come out!
-
- What a pleasure Hajji!
- Peace be upon you, sir
-
What are you doing here?
-
Answering natures call! But be
careful, there are no ewers here
-
It was a pleasure to see you again
-
Why don't you join us for prayers?
-
Pray for me!
-
I'm still thinking about
the paths that lead to God
-
Please continue, I'm sure
you'll find them if you keep thinking
-
Hajji, heads or tails?
-
Of course I don't know where
Mojtaba' gets these questions!
-
But anyhow, it's important
for Muslims to know...
-
How to conduct their
religious duties in space
-
I will tell you now, since
people are floating in space
-
if the body of a female astronaut
touches the body of a male astronaut
-
that would not be a problem
-
But it is necessary to join
them in temporary wedlock
-
before traveling to space
to be on the safe side
-
In such cases, due to the
shortage of water in spaceships
-
Ablution won't be needed
-
Excuse me, Hajji, this is true for space,
but since there is gravity on earth
-
the relationship between
a girl and a boy is problematic
-
No, Mr. Fazly
-
Excuse me, but it seems to me that
you have had all your fun in your youth
-
and now that it is
these youngsters' turn
-
you are being more
Catholic than the Pope?
-
Don't we youngsters have hearts?
-
Okay, don't get carried away
and abuse what I say now
-
Let me finish
-
Yes, Mr. Fazly, at that time you
married a woman with 10,000 tomans
-
but nowadays they don't even curse you
for that amount, let alone give you a wife!
-
So what can the youth do?
-
Not all people have
the facilities to go to space
-
Mr. Fazly, I wanted
to say something to you
-
At your service, Hajji
-
Can I borrow your pickup for a
couple of hours? I want to go to the city
-
The pickup is yours
-
We know the city quite well,
do you want us to come along?
-
Where do you want to go, Gholamali?
-
Have you memorized
the "Ankabout" verse?
-
Not all of it, but I will
-
You don't have much
time before enrollment
-
Go do your work,
if need be, I will take Hajji
-
Thank you, but it's a personal matter
-
- Personal?
- Yes
-
It's something
between me and God
-
Good for you Hajji,
don't forget to pray for us
-
Please
-
- How are you, Hajji?
- Thank you, what's up?
-
- Are you the sheriff?
- No, I just asked
-
Then leave, it's good to keep
your finger in your own pie
-
Well, well, Hajji, did he behave?
-
Yes, and how! Give me
the money, Hajji's alright
-
I oughta tear him to pieces and...
-
What?
-
Nothing, I said peace
be upon you, Delangiz
-
If only Islam hadn't tied our hands
-
Now you're talkin'
-
Why do you let those thugs
do whatever they like with you?
-
What could I do?
-
My dear brother, under such
circumstances it is necessary to...
-
- I mean to beat the hell out of them
- It's not s simple as you think
-
Hello
-
Hello, Mahmoud, it's me, Reza
-
I'm not Mahmoud,
where do you wanna go?
-
Isn't this number 15?
-
Eighth Street, no. 15?
-
No, this is Ostovari street,
eighth Street is up ahead
-
I'm sorry, but the last one was Seventh
-
Yes, but the streets go in this order
-
Fifth, sixth, Ghaderi, seventh,
Ostovari, Bolbol, ninth, eighth
-
- Who is it?
- it's Reza
-
Reza? Come on in
-
Hello
-
You're not Reza
-
Is this Mr. Motazedi's
residence, no. 15?
-
No
-
isn't this no. 15, Eighth Street?
-
This is it, but recently
municipality has changed the numbers
-
Yes?
-
Mr. Motazedi's residence?
-
Yes
-
God damn cowards
-
Don't get so worked up, mother
-
How can I not get worked up?
-
They handcuffed and took my
lovely son in from of my eyes
-
Do you expect me to dance?
-
Do you know where he is? Is he in jail?
-
If they don't let go of
my son, I will curse them
-
Listen, mother, Mahmoud
was keeping something for me
-
- Do you know where it is?
- No
-
He never brought his work
home because he was a bastard
-
He deserves whatever happens to him
-
- Thank you for your help
- Don't mention it
-
Visit me again, you
remind me of my bastard son
-
Sure
-
Hello, are you over there?
-
No, I'm still here!
-
Why didn't you go?
-
They have arrested
Motazedi, he's in jail
-
Poor guy, what are you gonna do now?
-
I don't know
-
Everything's such a mess
-
I gotta see if I can
do something myself
-
Don't you think of crossing
the border without a pass!
-
You're dead meat if they catch you
-
No, God willing!
-
Why are you talking nonsense?
-
Good bye, God willing, goodbye
-
Hello, Hajji, how's your family?
-
We hope for the best,
I had a question, Hajji
-
This is what I do not call
a virtuous act, go ahead
-
Is the fear prayer required
after watching a horror movie?
-
Since you might piss in your pants
after watching a horror movie
-
ablution is in order for you
-
Go and wash up
-
Don't write, go wash
-
Hello, Motazedi?
-
Who is he?
-
That was great news, colonel
-
No offense hajji, but where were you
last night that your clothes smell so much?
-
Well, actually l had to
go on a mission last night
-
and as you know the streets
have lots of holes and puddles
-
So I fell in the gutter
-
Empty promises till when?
-
I swear our people
can't tolerate it any more
-
If they don’t say anything,
its because they are modest
-
I speak out because it's my responsibility
-
I am talking here, Mash Ali, my God!
-
Today everyone is Mr. Shojayi's guest
-
Praise him for his
success in the election
-
What should a
parliament member have?
-
He has to have a cutting edge
-
The rest will take care of itself
-
You got foam in my eyes, oh God!
-
Who is he, Mr. Fazly?
-
He is engineer Shojayi
-
He wants to become a parliament
member, he's spending a lot of money
-
Who's that?
-
He wanted to cross the border illegally
-
the border patrols arrested
him and cutoff both his hands
-
What happened, Hajji?
Did the steam get to you?
-
Go get two sodas, kid
-
You'll feel better in a minute, Hajji
-
We followed Hajji and he
went to bad neighborhoods!
-
In the name of God
-
I want to open an important
discussion with you loved ones
-
and that is about the issue of cinema
-
If brother Gholamali allows me...
-
Please be quiet, I want to
have an important discussion
-
Yes, Hajji
-
Yes, today we are going
to talk about Pulp Fiction
-
Mojtaba, do I have to call
your names one by one?
-
Be quiet!
-
Both you and Gholamali,
be quiet, we want to talk
-
Okay sir, okay
-
Yes, this move is made
by brother Tarantino
-
He is one of the great
Christian filmmakers
-
and I've heard he has won a few prizes
-
Mojtaba and Gholamali,
I asked you to be quiet
-
Yes, Hajji, I just have one question
-
Stop whispering, you have already
asked all your questions, son
-
I won't continue the discussion
because I can't concentrate anymore
-
- Yes!
- it's me Hajji
-
How nice
-
Thank you God
-
Excuse me for bothering
you this late, Hajji
-
No problem, I'm at your service anytime
-
- Come in, dear
- Excuse me
-
Come inside
-
Hello, Hajji
-
What's going on here?
-
We have come to help you
-
To help me?
-
We know everything Hajji
-
Excuse me, what is it that you know?
-
Gholamali and I followed
you last night Hajji
-
Excuse us but when
you said you had a vision
-
We became curious
-
We were so moved, because
of your greatness and your glory
-
What?
-
Hajji, I promise your
secret will be safe with us
-
What secret?
-
That you go to poor
neighborhoods in disguise
-
You visited the family of prisoners
-
She prayed for you a lot
-
You mean that old lady?
Of course, that's one of my duties
-
What duty Hajji? If its a duty,
then why don't the others do it?
-
Oh, please
-
Helping one needy person
in secret is not that big of a deal
-
One!
-
That night he went
to at least twenty houses
-
Hajji's bag was full at the beginning
then it got empty at the end
-
I'm so upset... that you found out
-
Alms are rewarded
only when done in private
-
At first we didn't want to mention it
-
but we thought its not
right to look the other way
-
I just die for you charitable people
-
That's why we thought
we can accompany you tonight
-
This humanity and
kindness... what? Tonight?
-
Yes, Hajji, tonight
-
But I'm not going anywhere tonight
-
Hajji, we know the
needy people of this town
-
That's right, but no!
-
We have even brought
our donations, go bring them
-
Hajji, we have never had a
true man of God here before
-
We have never paid our religious debts
-
Take these and
distribute them as you wish
-
Look, Hajji, don't you want us
to take part in your good deed?
-
Okay, let's go and do
some good deeds in private
-
One, two, three, four...
-
God bless you
-
We haven't done
anything, pray for Hajji
-
I'm in need for a prayer!
-
I was ashamed to face my children
we didn’t have any food at home
-
What do you do, my dear brother?
-
I am unemployed, Hajji
-
The factory went
bankrupt and I got laid off
-
Sit and eat
-
Your daughter seems to be sick
-
She's so hot, does she have a fever?
-
She's had a fever for three days
-
Why don't you take her to a doctor?
-
We took her, she has to have
some tests but it's too expensive
-
Better?!
-
Don't you wanna eat dinner?
-
Hajji, this is not right,
let me come back there
-
I have a few questions
-
No need, this is no time for questions
-
I want some fresh air
-
He asks so many questions
that it has become a pain in the... neck
-
4500 is all that's left
from all that money
-
God bless you, Hajji
-
You make people happy
-
You must be very happy, huh?
-
Yes, I'm happy, but I don't know why my
ears start ringing when I do a good deed!
-
It's very strange
-
I envy you, God loves you a lot
-
Please pray for me
-
You don't need my prayers
-
You are such a great
girl and true believer...
-
No Hajji, I haven't been a good person
-
Have you sinned?
-
My dear, confess to me
and unload the burden of your sins
-
Damn these clothes!
-
You can't make a move in them
-
What was your question?
-
Let's go, they are waiting
-
I haven't done anything
-
What brings you this way,
Mr. Reza the lizard?
-
I was just passing by,
I didn't think they'd release you
-
There! Your tough luck, I guess!
-
Did they release Motazedi too?
-
I don't know, it's been a long
time since I heard from him
-
Any of you guys heard
anything about Motazedi?
-
They say he's been sent to prison
-
Look at this, don't you love it?
-
I wanted to tell you
something in private Lady Hajji
-
Lady Hajji yourself! My name is Ozra
-
Okay Ozra, do you know
anyone who smuggles people?
-
For whom?
-
For me
-
Look at this, don't you love it?
-
I take a 20000 tomans check and
I change it into 200 thousand tomans
-
Is this your own work?
-
I'm in the traveler cheque business
I haven’t done such things for a long time
-
Well done
-
- What about passports?
- You're Mahmoud's friend, right?
-
- You got a picture?
- Yeah
-
Bring me 200 thousand
tomans and take the passport
-
200 thousand tomans!
-
Money doesn't grow on trees, you know
-
That's the fee bro!
Even if Mahmoud were here
-
he would've charged you the same,
you have to pay 50 thousand in advance
-
That's not fair
-
If you want to leave the
country, that's the only way
-
Hello, Hajji
-
Hello, strength to you,
what's all this for?
-
Our saviour's birthday, Hajji!
-
Great! We'll have a ball
-
With your presence, of course, Hajji
-
Excuse me, Hajji
-
I have a question about ablution in space
-
It is written that questions have
to be asked at the right time, not now
-
It is written?
-
It is written that questions have
to be asked at the right time, not now
-
I asked you to do one thing
-
What could I do?
He just came all of a sudden
-
Ham
-
- Hello
- Questions after prayers
-
I don't have any questions
-
I just wanted to say
we intend to get married!
-
Congratulations, God willing
-
But our parents don't know,
they are very strict
-
Don't worry, my lips are sealed
-
Hajji, now I know how
you think about me
-
I don't even think about you
-
No Hajji, I won't make a good clergy
-
- Why not?
- Because my heart isn't pure, Hajji
-
Actually I'm just like you,
but l made good use of religion
-
Hajji, I'm not a true believer!
-
When I say my prayers
my mind wanders off
-
memorizing verses
are very difficult for me too
-
But, damn me, when bad things
come my way, I get tempted
-
I know what you mean
-
Hajji, I shave my beard with a razor
-
A student of theology doesn't
-
Who says I have to become a clergyman?
-
I have burnt my hand with a cigarette
to stop smoking, but I still smoke
-
No rational person
would do that to himself
-
Even God doesn't want
me to become a clergy
-
You sap! Don't blame
God for your stupidity
-
Look at me! You are a man and all
human beings are attracted to mischief
-
It's human nature
-
God is not as strict as they say
-
If he was totally against these things,
he wouldn’t give us the tools for mischief
-
Go live your life
-
As the representative of God
in this area and all other areas
-
I am telling you that
God has forgiven you
-
Now go and have your fun
-
But be careful!
-
About the issue... of there being as many
paths leading to God as there are people
-
Well?
-
Hajji, I have lost my path
-
Can you show me a shortcut?
-
Oh, my God!
You're looking for a shortcut
-
and I'm looking for a getaway
I need someone to help me...
-
You good for nothing baldie!
May filth pour on your head!
-
What's going on here?
-
Oh, God, Hajji,
he's killing my only daughter!
-
But why?
-
He says if she doesn't go
back to him, he'll kill her
-
l hope you haven’t called the police
-
No, he says he'll kill
her if the police comes
-
Then let's go and get him!
-
He says he'll kill her if anyone goes up
-
Over my dead body!
-
Why doesn't she go back to her life?
Who better than Delangiz?!
-
Shut up! Over my dead body!
-
Open the door, brother Delangiz!
-
Open the door
-
- Why doesn't this open?
- Sorry, it's locked
-
Where's the key?
-
My boss has it, you can
go up and get it from him
-
Up?
-
Okay
-
I have no other choice,
with the landlord’s permission
-
You have no right! Eh! Hajji!
-
What are you doing here?
-
I have come to talk to you
-
I have nothing to say to you
-
Get out from where you came
before I break your bones
-
- Damn you!
- Shut up!
-
Let my dear one leave
and I will stay here to guide you
-
I got no use for you, Mullah!
-
You better not insult the
clergy or put a price on them!
-
What'll happen if I do?
-
Listen prince, violence
doesn't solve anything
-
Wouldn't be better if we
solve this problem rationally?
-
Move aside or you'll get it!
-
Wait a second
-
Looks like you don't understand!
-
Wait a second, dear Delangiz
-
I want to give you a piece of advise
-
Wait! I'm talking!
-
Don't ever try to nit a man of the cloth
specially if he is from downtown Tehran!
-
Oh, my God! He's killing Hajji
-
As I told you before,
the paths leading to God are?
-
As many as there are people!
-
Well done, now you can add
three other paths to that list
-
hitting with the palm of your
hand, kicking below the knee
-
and a blow with the head you can use them
in cases of emergency, they're sure to work!
-
Well, goodbye dear one
-
Now go clean up your boss!
-
Thank you, Hajji,
that made me feel better
-
My boss's pride!
-
God damn your boss
-
As they say, Lieutenant
Nemati is our mole in narcotics
-
Tell him, Nemati
-
Yes, I was sitting in Mozafari teahouse
on detail, and the man you said came in
-
Did you see his face?
-
I wasn’t facing him, but the
teahouse owner called him the Lizard
-
Did you hear that with your own ears?
-
Yes, I'm sure, they were whispering
-
they were talking about
passports, then they left together
-
Of course, the teahouse owner's husband
used to smuggle people across the border
-
But he died four years ago
-
Now the teahouse has
become a hangout for criminals
-
We haven’t shut the place down
to be able to arrest all of them
-
You mean the woman might
be in the same business?
-
Or she might know the smugglers
-
- Hello, Hajji
- Peace be upon you
-
Excuse me, Hajji, but is prayers
accepted with these wounds?
-
It's got nothing to do with that,
you have to have a pure soul
-
- A lot of people came to the mosque
- We are going to the mosque too
-
- I have another question, Hajji
- Ask me after the prayers
-
He don't look like he can beat anyone
-
Not at all
-
Ain't it a little embarassin', boss?
-
Why?
-
They might say we've come to the
mosque because we're afraid of the Mullah
-
Let 'em say what they want
-
This is one Mullah that Delangiz
is willing to stand behind for prayers
-
Praise for all of Muslim clergymen!
-
Please sit down, please, please
-
In the name of God The Merciful
-
I am glad to see that a lot of
the locals have gathered here
-
I think it's the effect of that famous
sentence the paths to reach God
-
Because I can see two brothers
who were worthless thugs
-
have joined Islam as well, thank God
-
I hope they have felt this
from the bottom of their hearts
-
Actually l am only recently beginning
to understand the depth of this sentence
-
Instead of sitting up there and preaching
-
I should sit here and really
think about this sentence
-
God's peace and mercy
and benevolence be upon you
-
Father, you weren't there to see
how the guy, who had 6 children, felt!
-
Tell him, Ham
-
Yes, actually l was really moved
-
Of course I'm sure
you're doing good deeds, Hajji
-
But you, when you left
and came back in the morning
-
do you know how far behind
you got in your main duty?
-
Which one is my main duty?
Helping people or memorizing the "Koran"'?
-
Don't shout slogans, kid!
-
You are not here to serve people
-
Get up, get up
-
I'm talking to you, Gholamali
-
- I won't enter the competition
- What?
-
I won't take part in the competition
-
I am notable to memorize
-
You say something, Hajji
-
Mr. Fazly, don't pick on the youth so much
-
You can't force people
into heaven, dear brother!
-
You are pushing so hard that they
might fall off the other side into hell
-
-Hajji!
-What?
-
- Everyone's waiting
- What are these?
-
Bread and dates,
my mom prepared them
-
All my cousins have come
-
Two pickups are waiting
at the from door, please come
-
I'm not coming with you tonight
-
- Why Hajji?
- Because...
-
But that's not possible, Hajji
-
Dear brother, I have a mission
-
Please give this money
to the needy on my behalf
-
It's obvious that the guy is very needy!
-
I have a question about need
-
This is no time for questions
-
Those are God's
mysterious ways, now leave
-
You go on too
-
I have to leave myself
-
Do you like it?
-
Not bad!
-
Not bad?!
-
You're so out of it!
-
Do you know I went through
hell to change this number?
-
Thanks a lot
-
But this corner still needs some work
-
Your work is very delicate!
-
They call me Ozra Shapoury!
-
Master Yousef Shapoury's daughter!
-
Really? How interesting!
-
Do you even know him?
-
No, but when you say the name...
-
Everyone in this region
knows Yousef Shapoury
-
He was a master miniature artist
I was also his student
-
Then why did you turn up like this?
-
Destiny, poor thing thought
I'll become a famous painter one day
-
What delusions!
-
What do you want?
-
Here you go
-
- What the hell's this?
- You tell her what this is
-
This means there are as many paths
leading to God as there are people
-
Oh go on, dude!
-
Don't forget, goodbye, let's go
-
Don't people have better things to do?
-
He has brought these and says
there are a lot of paths leading to God
-
That's ridiculous!
-
- Have some bread and dates
- Thanks, I've already had some
-
- What was the number?
- 20
-
What happened, Ozra?
-
Tonight, after so many years
I got reminded of my parents
-
Then all of a sudden they ring the
bell and bring me bread and dates!
-
So what?
-
God hasn't forgotten me
-
Well, that's cool!
Now let's get on with our work
-
Repentance!
-
Ozra? Forget about it, what repentance?
-
I have repented, I've returned
-
I know those guys
they don’t have anything better to do!
-
Come and fix the passport so
I can get on with my miserable life
-
Passport?
-
What are you doing, nutcase? Eh!
-
You better repent too,
God will forgive you
-
Crazy lady!
-
Hey, what's with you?
God bless the cows!
-
- Mrs. Shapoury?
- No!
-
Aren't you Mrs. Shapoury?
-
I said no!
-
Isn't this number 20?
-
Who are you to ask questions?
-
Yes
-
Isn't this no. 20, Shirojan Street?
-
No, officer
-
This is no. 2, you've made a mistake
-
Is this no. 2?
-
Eh! What happened to our number?
-
The pigeons have done this
-
There you go, now it's 2
-
God help me, what
have I done to myself? God!
-
You have to repent too
-
God will forgive you too
-
There's room for all of you
-
Ozra?
-
Ozra isn't here anymore,
Ozra repented, God forgave her
-
The 50 thousand I paid her!
-
The woman has found time to repent!
-
Get back, move aside
-
Repent, repent and God will forgive you
-
See the posters we have printed?
-
Engineer Shojayi with
ready to punch out deceit
-
This one snows that engineer Shojayi
-
is a thoughtful man,
who thinks about the future
-
Engineer Shojayi standing in from
of the people with ultimate power
-
Sir, I love this one
-
Shojayi has turned his back to all the
money in the world and he doesn't care!
-
Thank you, they are
great, have them printed
-
Sir, with these posters, God willing,
you're as good as elected
-
Your breakfast is ready, sir
-
The fresh bread got here at last
-
Follow the printing process
I want them posted by tomorrow
-
Yes sir, don't worry
-
Why are you so late, Safoura?
-
I've been waiting for
fresh bread for an hour
-
Forgive me, something had happened
-
I hope it's nothing bad
-
My aunt is a bit of a con!
-
She repented last night
and the neighborhood is in chaos
-
How did she repent that it
caused a chaos in a neighborhood?
-
They say, Hajji Reza has spoken to her
-
I didn't understand what she was saying
she just kept crying all the time
-
Who's Hajji Reza?
-
Haven’t you heard?
The sheikh of Amir Mosque
-
Every night he goes to the house
of the needy and gives them money
-
And you know how
he does it? In disguise!
-
If he goes in disguise
how do you know it's him?
-
He uses a disguise,
but now everyone knows him
-
He gives money to the poor and dowry
to the girls who want to get married
-
He cures the sick...
-
He cures the sick!
-
They say a dumb boy
has eaten the beard
-
and dates that Hajji Reza
gave him and now he can talk
-
I see!
-
Peace to you, Hajji!
-
Peace to you!
-
Hajji, are you on another mission?
-
Yes, private mission,
with your permission
-
- Good for you, Hajji
- Hello Hajji!
-
Hajji! You brought
light to our humble hut
-
God knows how much
I wanted to see you
-
Now that I've found you, I won't let go
-
Thank you, but I've
already told our friends...
-
No, Hajji, I'm the host
and you are the guest
-
And as they say,
a guest is the host's what?
-
The host's dog?
-
Don't say that, you are our
master the apple of our eyes
-
Do you know why I wanted to see you?
-
Because I'm a charity
worker just like you, sir
-
- I see!
- I do good deeds
-
I build mosques and schools
-
God bless you
-
I'll come and visit
you tomorrow for lunch
-
Hold on, hold on, Hajji,
I want to take you somewhere
-
I'm sure it's going to make you happy
-
- Where?
- Prison
-
No, we're coming,
we'll be there in ten minutes
-
Goodbye
-
Excuse me...
-
Hajji, we have the good
fortune on our saviour's birthday
-
to pay the debts of a few prisoners
who were arrested for bounced cheques
-
and have them released
-
It's a private gathering
and I want you to come
-
Well, it would be an honor
for me, but I can't come today
-
Listen, Hajji, I have a bad temper and if
anyone disagrees with me, I will get upset
-
Safoura, can't you
get us two cups of tea?
-
She keeps answering back
-
Releasing prisoners is one
of the most important affairs
-
Please, go ahead
-
Safdary, 150 thousand tomans,
Vakili, 150 thousand tomans
-
Maghareyi, 150 thousand tomans
-
This poor thing is here
for 50 thousand tomans?!
-
He's a good kid too,
God will really reward you
-
Yes, Saneyi, 500 thousand tomans...
-
No, this was not on the list
-
Here, look
-
Eh! I thought it's 50 thousand tomans!
-
Forget it, any man who owes 500
thousand tomans belongs in prison
-
How much is the total?
-
A million 430 thousand tomans
-
Don't we have anyone with
70 thousand tomans to make it even?
-
No, there's one who owes
100 thousand tomans
-
No, that's enough!
-
Hello
-
Mr. Mojaver is one of my colleagues
-
God willing, engineer Shojayi
is going to be our representative
-
Hajji Ahmadi, one of our
greatest charity workers
-
My pleasure, Hajji
-
The pleasure is mine
-
What happened, major?
-
You mean Ozra?
She doesn't have any information
-
She seems to have gone crazy,
she keeps talking about repentance
-
Let's go for the ceremony together Hajji
-
Please
-
In the name of God The Merciful
-
Greetings to all you respectable folks
and especially to my dear inmate friends
-
Of course we all know that
people... sometimes break the law
-
because of need and misery
-
and they say that outlaws are not believers
-
Well, what does that mean?
-
Allow me to explain
-
First of all... don't think
that God has forgotten you
-
The prison gates might be closed to you
-
but... the gates to God's
blessing are always open to you
-
Stop thinking of ways to escape!
-
God doesn’t only belong to good people!
-
Our God, is the God
of the criminals as well
-
And it is only God, who doesn’t
look upon people differently
-
Actually, God is the heaviest dude in
gentleness, the heaviest dude in kindness
-
He is easy going and the
heaviest dude in forgiving
-
the heaviest dude in friendship
-
A good friend, will give
everything for his buddy
-
If people live by the codes
they will never steal anything
-
But unfortunately, some people
want everything for themselves
-
and this is very bad
-
We have to do
something to tame people
-
Taming means... creating love
-
and that’s the only way
leading to God, this is very important
-
I don't aim to preach because it's useless
and no one can be forced into...
-
That's why mankind should...
-
Allow me to finish my words with a poem
-
Man is worthy of honor
for his soul and humanity
-
Beautiful attire do not reflect his worth
-
l hope that all of you be
released from here very soon
-
and that you can find your path
-
Please pray for me to find a path as well
-
I hope I don’t see you here
and you don’t see me here
-
and we see each other in other places
-
May God be with you and bless you
-
Thank you for your time
-
Forgive me for talking so much
-
But this is very cruel Mr. Mojaver
-
Prisoners don’t come here to have fun,
they come hereto get reformed
-
As they say, the schoolmaster's punishment
is better than the father's kindness
-
Don't you agree, Hajji?
-
Yes, you are right, I agree with you
-
Didn't you have a T.V.
program a few years ago
-
called Knowledge in television, Hajji?
-
Well done, Knowledge in television
-
Didn't I tell you? I've seen you on T.V.
-
How nice that you remember
-
Mahmoud Motazedi to the visiting room
-
It was a fruitful program
-
It was on Monday nights, right Hajji?
-
Yes, you're right, Monday nights, excuse
me but I have an excremental problem
-
and I have to find some water, excuse me
-
- Mr. Motazedi?
- Yes?
-
I wanted to talk to
you for a few minutes
-
Are they gonna execute me?
-
No, it will only take a few minutes
-
Please, Hajji
-
I'm Reza Mesghali
-
Reza Mesghali? I don't know you
-
Reza the lizard
-
Who sent you?
-
Jackson
-
You were supposed to
smuggle me across the border
-
Don't disgrace me
-
Cool, what a nice disguise!
-
I'm in deep shit, Mahmoud
-
Why didn't you leave?
-
I tried to see you, but they
said they've arrested you
-
Why didn't you get your passport?
-
- Passport? From who?
- From my mother...
-
Your pass was ready
when you gave us your picture
-
Don't lie, I went to her
-
Did you tell her who you are?
-
No
-
Well, how could she know it's you?
-
Go tell her who you are,
get your pass and leave
-
You ain't puttin' me on?
-
Why should I? I owe Jackson a lot
-
Well, goodbye,
you may take him now, brother
-
Please pray for me, Hajji
-
It was a great program and
we had a nice time Mr. Moshaver
-
I'm Mojaver, Hajji
-
I nope to find another chance to...
-
I hope to see you on T.V. again
-
Of course they insist a lot but because
their programs are of such low quality
-
I don't accept, goodbye
-
Goodbye, Hajji
-
What are you so suspicious about?
-
There was never a T.V program
called Knowledge in television
-
How could I know it was you?
-
You looked like undercover cops
-
Did you say it was a passport?
-
Yes
-
I believe in right and wrong
and I don't swipe the customer's money
-
That's how I've raised my bastard son!
-
Here...
-
You look better with a beard
-
Yes, thank you
-
I'm mourning for my father
-
No problem, but the
border is closed now
-
Come back in two or three hours
-
Okay, I'll wait for another
two or three hours
-
I'll come back
-
You went on a mission in broad daylight?
-
Missions don't have any special time
-
Finish your work, we'll
start the evening prayers early
-
Is that possible, Hajji?
-
In cases of emergency it is allowed
-
Well, Gholamali, what's up?
-
I want to enter the competition
-
Well done
-
After you, Hajji
-
May God accept
-
Hello Hajji, what are you doing here?
-
Hello, Faezeh, my dear one, may
God kill me, what are you carrying?
-
It must be very heavy
-
It's greens for tonight's celebration
-
Allow me to help you
-
No, I swear to God, I won't let you
-
I have come hereto serve you
-
By the way, isn't your
mother coming to the mosque?
-
She sends her regards
-
She went to the upper
village to wash the fruit
-
Oh! So she's not here?
-
Although I don’t have much time,
but allow me to guide you to your home
-
Then you have to come up
and have tea with me
-
Come up?
-
Damn this temptation
-
I would love to, but...
-
- Delangiz?
- Yes, Hajji?
-
Come, help carry Faezeh's load
-
I am at her service
-
I don't need your help
-
This Delangiz is not the old Delangiz!
-
God willing, he's become much better
-
It's been a while that he
regrets how he treated you
-
He has done that before, he's lying
-
No, I swear to God,
it's different this time
-
Nonsense, you can't fool me any more
-
- I won't do anything to her
- I said carry these stuff and don't talk
-
He keeps explaining himself,
he talks like a chatterbox
-
I said take these and shut up
-
Yes Hajji
-
Thank you Hajji, goodbye
-
From police headquarters to the station
this is to inform you that Hajji Reza Ahmadi
-
who was recruited to be...
the prayer leader of Amir mosque
-
passed away due to severe illness
before he could go on his mission
-
You mean this Hajji Ahmadi
is the armed robber?
-
Reza the lizard
-
He wasn't armed
-
We arrested his accomplice last week
-
and he confessed that
the weapon belonged to him
-
But this man has done
so many good things here
-
People swear on his name
-
Well, they are making a mistake
-
Let's go
-
Hajji, he's going to sing,
aren't you coming?
-
Tell him to start
-
Yes, Hajji
-
These clothes are
supposed to tame people
-
It's good for people
to become tamed, isn't it?
-
No need for that anymore
-
There is no one in this world
who doesn't have a path to reach God
-
You have to have a pure soul
-
You can't force people
into heaven, dear brother!
-
You will push so hard that they
might fall off the other side into hell
-
God is the heaviest dude in gentleness,
the heaviest dude in kindness
-
the heaviest dude in forgiveness,
and the heaviest dude in friendship
