Why? Why?

Are they whores?

Why all this traveling? Why?

lam

ashamed to say, sir.

What's that, spy?

What do you mean?

No, I shouldn't tell you.

Please don't...

Don't make me do this.

You can tell me anything.

That's why you are here.

Well...

I travel to all these places...

Yeah.

Because I enjoy massage.

Massage?

What do you mean?

Massage. Massage...

Yeah, massage.

Of a sexual nature.

I can't believe

I'm telling you this. I...

I shouldn't...

I shouldn't.4.

No, no, no.

It's good. Go on.

I travel regularly

to get these massages

because I find myself

addicted to them.

It helps satisfy my need.

Hmm.

These massage,

are they expensive?

No. No, they're actually

quite reasonably priced.

You walk into an establishment,

and they are there, lined up.

All of them.

Very beautiful.

Very... Very young.

And you choose

the girl that you like,

and they take you by the hand

and they lead you to a room

that has a waterbed.

Then she starts to undress you.

And she undresses

herself as well.

But I probably

shouldn't tell you this.

I probably shouldn't

No, no, no, please continue.

No, I don't want to continue.

Please. This could...

No.

This could be very

important information.

Son.

There is one massage

that is called...

You wouldn't believe this, sir.

It's called

the Persian massage.

It comes from the time

of Cyrus The Great.

And what it consists of

is three girls

at the same time.

The girls are very professional

and they know exactly

what they are doing.

And they immediately

start squeezing you.

They squeeze you

and they release you,

and they squeeze you

and they release you.

And it is

the best feeling, sir.

Four trips to America.

So why all these trips?

I was desperate.

Yes.

The reason

I went to New Jersey...

You know what happens

in New Jersey.

Yeah, of course.

Everybody knows

what happens in New Jersey.

Oh. I...

I... I had to see it

with my own eyes.

What did you see?

Well, there is this place

that's called Fort Lee.

It's a military town?

It used to be, sir.

Now it is a massage playground.

And it is massages

from allover the world.

Oh.

So I went there

because I had heard

crazy stories.

Crazy stories

about people dying.

Dying?

Yes.

What do you mean?

Of pleasure.

Of pleasure?

Unbelievable.

Not for New Jersey.

No?

No.

Newsweek reporter

Maziar Bahari

has been arrested.

What is your reaction to that?

Well, I am just appalled

at the treatment

that Mr. Bahari

and others are receiving.

It is a show trial.

Thai explains this very

silly move you did there.

Yeah, which one?

Specialist time,

Mr. Hillary Clinton.

What did you say?

Mr. Hillary Clinton.

She's been talking

a lot about you.

Sheytoon.

Naughty boy.

Hello?

Salaam. They've taken Mazi!

The government.

We need a lawyer.

There must be

something we can do!

How long has he been in there?

How long? Too long!

Even one day is too long.

I've sent letters

to the Italian

and the Canadian embassy.

And we've also got some

petitions up on the website.

I'm six and a half

months pregnant.

And it's important

to remain positive.

Maziar Bahari is the

correspondent for Newsweek...

He's not

been seen by his family

since his detention

six months ago.

Maziar Bahari is being

held now according to...

We're trying

very hard to get

as much publicity as possible.

We've expressed our concern

about Mr. Bahari's

confinement.

It is a sign of weakness.

Your wife talks too much.

She is talking badly

about Iran.

Doing interviews.

Writing letters.

Stand up.

No, sir. No...

Stand up.

Please...

Stand up.

Blindfold Off.

Call her.

My wife?

Call her.

Yes, sir. Yes.

Call her

and tell her

to stop talking sh*t.

And you have to

dial nine to get out.

Nine?

Nine.

Okay.

Hello.

Paola?

Mazi, hi. Hi!

Are you okay?

Mazi, everyone's supporting you.

Everyone.

We'll get you out, Mazi.

The baby?

The baby is fine.

The baby is great, actually.

We're having a girl, my love.

Be a man.

Be a man.

Marianna Maryam Bahari.

I love you.

I love you, Mazi.

Be a man.

Control this woman!

She cannot talk badly about us!

You have to stop her

and control her!

She cannot talk badly about us!

She cannot speak

to anybody about you!

You have to control her!

Okay.

Okay.

Shall I call her again?

What are you doing?

Stop, please.

No, stop.

Thank you.

No.

Thank you.

Please stop.

To Marianna!

Maryam Bahari!

Marianna!

Maryam Bahari!

Did I torture you?

Did I?

I tell you, my father

was tortured by the SAVAK.

They beat him up so badly

that he couldn't walk.

Even now, 30 years later.

I did not do that to you.

If this is not torture

then what is it?

Many people seek to destroy us.

And many people

don't admit that easily.

I was not seeking this.

Good.

A pleasure to see you

again, Mr. Bahari.

And it's a pleasure, sir.

I hope your time here

has not been too unpleasant.

Well, the nature

of prison is...

It's prison, right?

Yes.

Please.

Yes.

As you know,

the discipline

of media espionage

is a new one.

Oh, yes, it is everywhere.

It's a new trend.

The West has been quite

effective in blurring the line

between a spy and journalists.

We must catch up if we are

to battle effectively.

Do you understand?

Do you want me to become a spy?

We want you to help our holy

system with information.

Now' this is a letter

of commitment...

Mmm-hmm.

...Mr. Bahari.

Read it thoroughly,

sign it, stamp it.

The letter basically is for you

to provide us with

reports, information,

any anti-Iran activity.

And the letter...

Yes. Yes.

Excellent.

Specialist.

Because of your

diligence and good work

on behalf of Islamic Republic,

this man is back on the

path of righteousness.

Seyyed!

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Bahari.

Blindfold.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

So the man they accused

of being a spy

is not a spy.

But if you would like

to become a spy,

you know, for us, that

would be appreciated.

Bahari.

Seyyed.

Come.

Good

morning, ladies and gentlemen.

On behalf of Captain Dazmond

and the entire crew,

welcome aboard

ight number 3826.

Nonstop service

from Tehran to London.

Our ight time will be

six hours and 15 minutes.

Si! back, relax,

and enjoy the flight.

Would you

like some coffee, sir?

And here's your tea.

Thanks very much.

Coffee or tea?

Finally, I was free.

But my joy is tempered

by those I left behind.

People that did not

have the advantage

of international attention.

Countrymen and women,

whose only crime

against the state

is not believing

in its perfection.

And the acolytes.

Those without imagination.

"(hose who,

even in my confinement,

were more alone

and afraid than I.

Because in their hearts,

they know they cannot win.
