Hey.

Hey, listen to this.

Listen to this. Listen.

It's a

huge demonstration.

They're incredible. Yeah?

They just want to be heard.

They just want to be heard.

They just want...

They just want to be heard!

Down, dictator!

Maryam would be

so proud to see this.

- To the Greens!

- To the Greens!

Hey, Davood, I'm going inside.

Sure.

Okay. I'm going inside.

Hi. Hello. My credentials.

Hello.

- Can you hold this? Thank you.

- Yeah.

Okay, you can go inside.

Thank you.

Not you.

You stay here.

I'll be back.

I've been

talking to a source

who says the Supreme Leader

has had his own

private polling done.

This suggests that

the main opposition candidate

Mir-Hossein Mousavi

is in the lead

in all but one province.

Hello.

It's Alireza.

Ahmadinejad has triumphed!

How?

A landslide!

How would you know?

The polls haven't closed yet.

Praise Allah!

A great victory,

Mr. Bahari.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

I am a journalist.

This is my accreditations.

Who are you?

I'm supposed to be inside.

What is this?

What are you doing?

I'm a journalist.

This is my accreditation.

It says that I'm

supposed to be inside.

Your time is done.

No, no. We are journalists.

We are allowed...

Huh? He has the papers

in his hands.

Now go. Leave!

You're done.

Okay, okay.

We're leaving.

Fine. Fine.

Go, before I f*** both

your mothers in front of you.

Hey, hey... No, no,

forget about it.

Don't listen to him. Don't

listen to him. Come on.

Okay. Let's go.

The government has announced

that President Ahmadinejad

has been re-elected

with 62.6% of the vote.

The challenger,

Mir-Hossein Mousavi got...

Did he really win?

Two other candidates

got less than 1%,

They say.

They've reported that Mousavi

did not even carry

his place of birth.

His home.

How unpopular he must be.

You'd think they would

have allowed him that.

That he saw himself

as having strong momentum

going for him...

Iran's Presidential election

is ending in controversy.

The opposition

has called it fraud.

For the fourth day in a row,

a river of protesters

stream through

the streets of Tehran.

These people

feel that their election

has been stolen from them.

This government won't allow

us to say what we want.

We want freedom!

We want freedom!

You said you'd stay

until the election.

I know.

But the election is over.

I know. I know.

This isn't like you.

Lt's getting too dangerous.

I have to stay here, Paola.

Khamenei is doing

the Friday prayers.

Okay.

Uh-huh.

And?

You know, he never

does them himself.

Or he rarely does them himself.

And I think he's gonna

use this opportunity

to bring some sense

into this and maybe,

uh, validate people's concerns

or, uh, talk about

a recount of the election.

Because something special

is happening here...

Mazi, what are you

talking about?

And stop moving around,

you're making me nauseous.

Please.

Hmm.

Okay. Okay, okay.

I'm sorry.

I will look into the

flights tomorrow, okay?

All right?

Okay.

And in the meantime,

you and your round

friend down there below,

okay, you go to sleep,

because it's getting late.

You're lying.

And you're beautiful.

Ah...

Good night.

What's he saying, Maziar?

He's saying that from now on,

anyone that takes

to the streets

is gonna be held accountable

for all the violence,

all the blood

and all the rioting

that occurs.

Do you think

these demonstrations

will continue?

Yeah. I think so.

I think it's my responsibility.

When I stay home,

I'm worried about other women,

other boys that are here.

And I think I should go,

maybe I can help them.

I think Pm a little braver new.

History has taught me

that all the, uh,

revolutions start like this.

Nothing stays

like this forever.

Mousavi!

Hey, Davood!

Wait, you're gonna get hurt!

We have to fight back!

What are you doing?

Fighting back!

You're gonna

get killed! Come on.

What do you want me to do, huh?

They took my vote. I'm dirt to them.

I'm dust.

It's not right.

It's not right, Davood.

Ah, well, who are you to say?

You have a real weapon and

you choose not to use it.

Oh, Jesus Christ!

Sorry, no offense.

None taken.

God, Maziar,

have you shown this

to anyone else?

No.

Can we get this out tonight?

Have you got time?

Hmm? Yeah,

no worries. Yep.

It'll be in London

before 7:
00.

How do you want this credited?

Ah...

Uncredited.

They probably already

know that you shot ii,

because there's

cameras everywhere

especially around

the Basij headquarters.

I know. I know.

Are you sure you

want to go ahead with this?

Yes.

This has to be seen.

Mazi jaan...

Mazi jaan...

Mmm.

Wake up.

These men want

to talk with you.

Get up, sir.

And get dressed.

We are here now.

Turn to the left.

Welcome to Abu Ghraib,

or whatever you Americans

like to call it.

Put your

blindfold back on.

Your specialist will come

to claim you soon.

Stand up.

Stand up!

Give me the names!

Stand up.

I don't know!

I swear, I don't know!

All these lies, huh?

All these lies!

F***ing lies!

I swear.

I swear. I don't know.

I can see the f***ing time,

but they're giving me

all the rough cases.

I know.

But after this case,

everything will be different.

Of course.

Next time,

my love. Yes.

I promise you. I promise you.

I promise you, yes.

Of course I understand.

I have to go now.

See you, my love. Bye.

Sorry, sir.

Is everything okay?

I very much want

this opportunity

to work out for you, Javadi.

Bahari is not some street thug.

He will be well-prepared

intellectually.

Of course.

I've given you the

questions he must answer.

But, Javadi, we must

have his confession!

Do you understand?

Of course, sir.

The people in

the streets must know

how they have been

fooled by these traitors.

We can end this,

but we must show them how

their leaders have been

receiving orders

from foreigners,

Zionists and Jews in the West.

They will listen

to him, Javadi.

Yes, sir.

And remember,

we need his face

for the cameras.

This will take much more

than just a fist, Javadi.

Yes, sir.

Salted cucumbers.

You must be hungry.

Thank you, sir.

I'm... I'm fine.

It's salted cucumbers.

You must be hungry.

Yes, yes.

Yes. I'm gonna

have one.

Mmm Mmm.

Sir...

Can you tell me why I am here?

Because if this is about

filming the demonstrations,

I can assure you I am...

You can film.

I'm fully accredited by

the Ministry of Culture...

You can film.

You know, it was just

so sudden. It was...

The camera was there

and the violence erupted.

But we have nothing to hide.

So why then? Why?

You are here because

that's what happens

to foreign spies

caught on Iranian soil.

Yes, we know you are a spy.

A spy?

Yes.

The game is over,

Mr. Bahari.

And for who am la spy?

For CIA, MIG, Mossad,

Newsweek-You tell me.

Newsweek me magazine'?

No, Newsweek the carpenter.

The media arm for CIA.

No, no, sir. No, no.

I can only go by the evidence.

Sir, you are making

a big mistake.
