Closed Curtain

Hello.

Are you tired?

Come here, Boy.

Good dog!

Here. Come pee here!

Because dogs are impure

in our Islamic society.

they will now

be banned in public

The police will take

drastic measures.

Day 2. Dawn.

The man is asleep.

The dog licks his face.

Don't go outside.

Come here, Boy.

Get inside.

Get inside.

Good dog.

Hello, sir.

Who are you?

We are followed,

but we lost them.

How did you get in?

The door was open.

We had no choice.

- But I closed it.

- I swear it was open.

- Get out!

- But they'll never let us go!

- Get out!

- They're outside!

They're all outside. Look!

- There's no one!

- Some of them tailed us.

There are others on the beach.

- Let's go!

- Where? They've arrested everyone.

- I'm not afraid.

- That's what scares me!

She's soaking wet.

Where are you going?

- Who do you think you are?

- I said she's all wet.

That's not my problem!

- Kick us out.

- Don't!

Kick us out.

She's talking nonsense.

Don't listen to her.

Okay.

Stay put.

Where are you going now?

- Get out!

- We are not thieves.

- Why take that?

- As a precaution.

Come on out.

Why are you here?

Where's the circuit box?

Answer me.

Why are you here?

Don't act like

it's the first time!

It's so remote here.

I can't believe they came.

They hauled off everyone.

She was with them.

She was crying,

begging them.

She ended up

running into the sea.

They didn't dare follow.

How do I switch off

the light in there?

Or she'll make serious trouble

in your house.

Why are you

talking nonsense?

Answer my questions.

Who sent you here?

Who gave you the keys?

What keys?

Come look over here.

There's no light here.

Check around the other side.

Open up.

Open this door!

Headquarters, squad 4 here.

Go on, I hear you.

We're in front of the house.

There are no lights on

and no signs of the fugitives.

Search around the house.

We already have.

Do you read me?

Yes, one second.

- Come back to the station.

- Copy that.

We're heading back

to the station.

Thank you, sir.

That was good of you.

Please leave now,

both of you.

But why?

- They left.

- They're not the only ones.

We're surrounded.

They confiscated everything we have.

That's not my problem.

I don't want any trouble.

- Where's the phone?

- I don't have one.

- So give me your cell.

- I don't have one either.

I'm sorry, Miss.

Keep her here

until I come pick her up.

I'll make it quick.

Thanks.

Give her dry clothes

so she doesn't catch cold.

And be careful.

She has a knack for suicide.

Young man!

Young man!

Miss?

I don't want any trouble.

Miss?

We'll leave

once he comes back.

Sir?

Sir?

What?

- Do you have a hair-dryer?

- In the bathroom.

Not that door, the other one.

Over there.

What do you want it for?

For my cell phone.

It fell into the water.

He told you to make sure

I don't kill myself, right?

Sir?

Where can I dry my clothes?

I'll come get them.

- I'll bring them up.

- No, no!

Don't come up.

I'm busy.

Go inside.

It's pitch black.

Turn on the light at least.

Do it yourself.

Where's your dog?

Who sent you here?

No one did.

I was forced to come.

What for?

No reason.

To kill some time.

No specific purpose?

A purpose?

So you're to blame

for all this?

Hi there.

What do you know

about him?

What everyone does.

What does everyone know?

They killed his mate,

then went after him.

You got in a fight

with one of them,

then took shelter here.

People say you got hurt.

Why would you think it's me?

Thick black curtains

to keep out the light.

You're hiding your dog.

You're scared.

I knew it was you

right away.

Though you don't look

like the picture in the paper.

Shave your head?

Does he know too?

- Who do you mean?

- Your husband.

- My brother, not my husband.

- Either way...

Who's he coming back with?

Like he said...

He's getting a friend with a car

to come pick me up.

That was your plan?

If I am a problem,

let me go like I said.

Come, Boy.

My picture in the paper!

- I said don't come up.

- What about my clothes?

I'll leave once they're dry.

With or without Reza.

I'll tell you when they're dry.

Don't let the fire

burn them.

Here.

Hang them yourself.

This is a great hideout.

Too bad about the view.

If it were my place...

What if it were your place?

You'd try to drown yourself

ten times a day.

Right?

Do you think your husband...

I mean your brother,

made it all up?

What about the scars

on your wrists?

Just how many times...

did you try cutting them?

Everyone has their reasons.

Tell me the truth.

Who was he?

- Your brother, really?

- Couldn't you tell?

Why did you run away?

Everyone there

wasn't brother and sister.

We were singing

and dancing...

Some of them drank a little.

Carefree and having fun.

What is your job?

You mean "was."

Okay, what was it?

What does it matter?

Are there windows

behind those curtains?

No.

I didn't hang them.

Is it not your house?

No, it's a friend's.

Sometimes I borrow it

to come and work.

And what is your job?

As you said,

what does it matter?

What's upstairs?

You enter the house

claiming that the door was...

wide open.

Then I say don't come up,

but you pitter-patter upstairs

to dry your clothes.

So go see for yourself.

Do you want some water?

Some water, Miss?

Miss?

Miss?

Miss?

What are you up to?

Damn you!

Kill yourself somewhere else!

Why here?

Why make trouble for me?

Don't I have enough trouble?

Isn't my life already hell?

What's got into you?

What trouble?

I was just looking

at the sea.

The view from here

is different.

Nonsense!

It's too dark to see.

- What is it you see?

- The sound...

the waves...

the sea breeze.

I wanted to call you

up there.

To watch you kill yourself?

Where's your brother?

He said he'd come quickly! Why me?

If I wanted to die,

there are many ways.

Whey here?

Why tonight,

when I'm not even depressed?

Not depressed?

So why was I put in charge of you?

Get inside!

Get inside now!

You're wasting my time.

I'm watching over you

instead of working!

All you do is blabber on.

Who do you think I am?

An idiot who buys

everything you say?

No more lies!

Why would someone lie

if life and death

are the same to him?

Only scared people lie.

You had a cell.

Why did you say you didn't?

I didn't say it to you

but to that guy

who forced you on me.

- Then he wanted my cell.

- That's besides the point.

Hold on. Quiet!

Why are you so afraid?

I have no explaining to do.

I do have a cell.

I took out the SIM

so it can't be traced.

So it's no longer a cell.

Justifying yourself again.

You're worse off than me.

Imagine I did want to kill myself.

It beats living behind

closed curtains like you.

So go kill yourself.

You don't know me

or anything about me!

Stop fooling yourself!

I wrote tons of reports

on guys like you.

- Suicide is your only way out.

- Hold on there.

What did you say?

Reports?

So it's you

who wrote that crap about me?

It's you who gave my picture
