Whatever it took

to keep strong,

sane.

I'm thinking

of signing the paper.

Why?

Because I would very much

like to get out of here.

You know, it's not

just signing a piece of paper.

They will make

an example of you.

So what?

You will be on television.

So what?

You must leave here,

but you must leave here a man.

Maryam would understand.

Maryam is not here.

Lam.

Maryam.

Bahari!

You are here

for Maryam Bahari, right?

Yes.

You may see her.

One half hour.

Only the parents can go in.

Why? Why?

Don't touch him!

You're going to kill me, boy'?

You going to kill me'?

Stay there!

This is the boy.

He said he would "get me. "

I just wan!

To see my sister.

Blindfold.

Mazi...

Mazi jaan!

Shame on you!

You blindfold a 10-year-old?

Shame on you!

I will kill them

and they can throw me

in this shithouse.

I want to kill you!

No!

No, Mazi!

No! No!

No, you can't.

No!

I need you out there.

I need you out there.

You must see all the

films you can see,

you must listen to the most

beautiful music you can find.

Okay?

I will live that through you.

Be that for me,

okay? Promise?

Okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

No, Mazi. No.

I'm concentrating.

You should see,

I mean, you look really...

You look really good from here.

Stop it.

Turn it off.

Don't move.

Don't... Don't move.

I'm embarrassed.

Put it away.

No, it's okay.

My bosses are

not happy with you.

But I don't understand.

I'm trying to do

everything you want me...

I am trying to figure out

the media conspiracy,

but I cannot lie to you.

I know.

Huh?

I know this.

But they have

decided to kill you.

I brought you a Nescaf.

Why...

Why do they want to kill me?

There is milk and sugar.

You don't like my Nescaf?

I don't understand what they

can achieve by killing me.

You don't like my Nescaf.

Blindfold.

It's...

Blindfold.

Now is the time.

No...

No, don't!

No, no! No...

What a terrible thing

for a wife to lose her husband.

A mother, her son.

For a child to grow up

and never know their father,

that's a terrible thing.

- What are you doing?

- You should see.

I mean, you look really...

You look really good from here.

No, Mazi. No.

But the choice is yours.

You will go on television

and tell how you lied

to our great people,

how you put

anti-revolutionary elements

in touch with

the foreign agents.

And you will apologize

to our great Master

for breaking his heart.

You will do all this,

or your beautiful wife

will be a widow.

I apologize...

I apologize...

I apologize to all

the Iranian people

for what they saw.

I am not a person...

Baba, please, please.

I'm trying to learn this.

You never had to do this.

You never had to

speak on television.

You always kept

your integrity intact.

You never faced this.

They barely touched you.

Others have suffered more.

No, Baba. No, no.

You don't understand.

You were what

they said you were.

You can

choose who you are.

I am not a spy.

Lam not a spy...

They locked you

up, but you are still free.

You don't understand, Baba!

You were who

they said you were.

You filmed the truth

about these sisterfuckers.

What is more dangerous to them

than the truth. huh? Tel! me.

It didn't change anything.

Look where it got me.

God damn it,

believe in something;.

It is your only hope.

Like communism?

Did it ever occur to you

that the dream that kept

you during your torment,

it was corrupt?

Your great Russian heroes,

they also torture.

Your torture was

conceived in the Gulags.

Where do you think the Shah's

secret police got it from?

From the Soviets.

From the CIA, from the Mossad.

From all the f***ed up

secret services of the world.

Was it worth it?

Was it worth

leaving a mother

and a child on their own?

I'm going to learn this.

I'm going to say it on camera.

And then I'm going to go home.

What is your name?

And tell us about your role

in the colored coup d'tat.

My name is Maziar Bahari.

And I am a member

of the western media.

I am a journalist, and as such,

I am a member of the

Western capitalist machine.

Western media saw its

candidate lose the elections,

on June the 12th of 2009.

Western media

claimed it was a fraud

to undermine and to hurt

the legitimacy

of the elections.

Western media afterwards

claimed that there was a coup.

What followed was a series

of preplanned actions

designed to foment

a failed color revolution.

My colleagues and I started

to ignore accurate reporting

and we produced reports

that were very inaccurate

and illegal.

I apologize to

the Iranian people.

...and to my family.

And to our Supreme Leader

for my actions

and my wrongdoings.

Seyyed!

That's it'!?

Davood?

Maziar?

Hey, are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

What happened?

No, no, no,

it's nothing. Come on.

I am sorry. I am very sorry

to put you through this mess.

Hey, if it makes you

feel any better,

I told them everything I knew

about you and your activities.

Why didn't you tell me

you were the mastermind

of the green revolution, hmm'?

I could have doubled

my driver fees.

I'm very sorry, Davood.

I'm going to get

you out of here.

As soon as I come out, I'm

going to do everything I can.

Don't worry about me.

I'll be fine.

Specialist time.

Yes?

Yes.

Stay.

Javadi.

Yes, sir?

Four thugs beat up a Basij.

I want them to feel 10 punches

for every punch they gave.

But

Bahari confessed.

Yes, yes, yes.

The thugs.

Yes, sir.

What's wrong?

Blindfold!

What?

Blindfold!

Sir, what's happening?

I confessed!

You did nothing.

I confessed!

You did nothing!

Sir, I said exactly what

you wanted me to say.

You confessed, but

nothing has changed!

I did what you told me to do!

I will see to it that you

rot here, dirty spy.

I'm no spy. sir.

Your wife will

never see you again.

Oh, sir...

Your child...

Your child will never know you!

And your mother will

die brokenhearted.

And you did this!

No...

Sir, please.

No... Please...

Please.

Get down.

Please...

Get down!

Get down! Motherf***er!

Please...

Please stop.

You spread these lies!

Answer the question!

Answer the questions!

I'm forgotten.

Maryam...

I'm afraid.

You?

You're afraid?

They are afraid.

They've tortured you for

the crime of bearing witness.

This is fear.

They are scared of you.

They are weak,

Mazi jaan. Not you.

Use your freedom.

Use their weakness.

Use their weakness.

Fight, Mazi.

You have a lot

of women's phone numbers.

Does your wife know

about your cheating?

Shirin Ebadi. You have

four numbers for her.

When and where did

you have sex with her?

She is a very respectable

and married woman.

Yes.

I interviewed her

a couple of times.

If you never f***ed her,

why do you have

four numbers for her?

I also have 10 numbers

for Ahmadinejad.

Why all this traveling?

All these numbers. Why?

What is this?

This is porno? Porno?

How many girlfriends

do you have?

Why all these numbers? Why?

How many times do you

have sex with them?
