She gave those poor girls the dolls.

You don't believe me?

Ask her yourself.

Let me go!

This woman is being charged!

Let me explain!

Shut up. Take him!

Let me go, let me explain.

Grab that woman!

Where? Go and get the car.

Here!

This one had a record too.

Another streetwalker.

We fool ourselves thinking

we can stop them all,

but their business is too good.

The murderer has religious motives.

- You shouldn't say that.

- Shouldn't I?

Because then

the case becomes political.

In this city, they find a woman's

body in the garbage dumps every day.

But this time,

because of the newspapers,

the whole world is hearing about it.

Hey you,

this bastard doesn't want to pay me.

Can you teach him a lesson?

He's a little shrimp, if you go

near him he'll sh*t in his pants.

I didn't want to go with him,

but he insisted.

If you help me, I'll pay you.

Sir, for the love of God!

This is all I have, sir!

Take her away!

One!

Count!

Two!

How many?

Two.

Three!

What's going on?

I was looking for you.

Wait!

Freeze!

I found Leila's house.

The murderer was there.

The murderer?

But we've already arrested him.

He gave himself up this morning.

I made it clear there was no need

for headquarters to interfere.

We can solve the case ourselves.

This is our turf. We know

its problems better than anyone.

- How many have been captured?

- Several.

Every day there is

a group of volunteers.

Each one comes here

to give himself in.

We had orders not

to make this predicament public.

Therefore, we had to choose somebody.

Him, Mr. Rajabi!

I am your inferior.

- You!

- If God accepts!

I've organized a press conference.

But since you're officially

in charge of this investigation,

they want you to announce

that we've caught the killer.

This guy is not the killer.

Wait a minute!

You're not going to throw

all our work out the window!

Powerful people approve

of these murders.

They believe it's the only way

to clean up the city.

Let's say we do apprehend

the real killer,

one of the pretenders

will just continue his work.

We have to find out

who is behind these crimes.

For us, the atmosphere in the city

is more important

than the murder of a few prostitutes.

Here he comes!

How did you catch the murderer?

Who's the killer?

Can you give us more details?

The murderer still hasn't

been caught.

The one thing I can say is that

since powerful groups

cover the crimes

we can't stop the killings.

That's all.

You want to buy or smoke?

Smoke. The strongest you have.

- Are you a customer?

- Aren't you ashamed before God?

Say your prayers!

So you're the bastard who's attacking

the women of this neighborhood!

Well, do you want to kill me,

Captain Valliant?

Kill me...

If you get your merits by killing

unfortunate women, strike me!

I want to die and meet

the one who wrote my fate.

Who will have the courage to point

a finger at me in the next world?

What judge will be better than me,

who sold my body to

save the lives of my children!

Kill me!

Are you afraid of an old woman?

Come on, where are you going?

Come back!

I want nothing more than

to be freed of my suffering!

Come back here!

You coward!

Sometimes the body is the dressing

that reveals the spirit's beauty.

But I make them suffer.

The healer has rough hands,

but he gives relief to the patient.

The medicine is bitter,

but gives the cure.

Their eyes are full of terror

when they die.

Terror...

The terror of death is like that of

the shepherd when he meets the king.

The shepherd is afraid when

the king's hand touches his shoulder.

But in his heart he is glad.

Life and death are united,

like the river at the sea.

The murderer is looking for someone:

the woman who's connected

to all the victims.

She's the only one who can help us.

You lit the fuse,

now you can wait for the explosion.

Wait, I never saw you before.

You're not from around here,

let me look at you.

How old are you?

Are you a refugee?

Were you evacuated?

Take this, it's not much,

but you won't find more around here.

If you need money,

get some another way.

Take them.

Do what you like,

but watch out for that butcher,

unless you're hoping to die.

Come with me!

Get lost right now,

or I'll arrest you!

Why are you getting upset, friend?

I didn't mean anything!

- Just my luck!

- Get lost!

Did you think better of it? Take it.

You can pay me back

when you have some.

Everybody knows me here.

- I want to talk to you.

- Bastard!

Wait, I need your help

to catch the murderer.

Go away, brother,

don't hang around here,

or I'll have them teach you a lesson.

If people know you're a policeman,

they'll lynch you.

Go away.

Come on, kids!

What is all that stuff

in the newspapers?

You approve of the murders.

We approve of the cleansing

of the city.

But not through murder.

Habib, my friend,

how could you think that?

If you help us,

you help your city.

Catch the murderer!

- Will you help me?

- Certainly we will help you.

- Even if it means telling me names?

- Even names.

We will teach him a lesson.

I'll tell the boys to get busy on it.

But, Agha...

I'm glad to have seen you again.

They've relieved you of your duty.

You're going to have to appear

before a military court.

I have to give official apology

to the Agha.

You really took a beating, brother.

I didn't expect you to come round

so quickly.

If I hadn't brought you back here,

like a dead weight,

who knows how long you'd

have been lying there losing blood.

- How many days have I been here?

- Not too many.

Don't worry, you're safe here.

Those bastards beat you up

pretty badly.

You're wearing

my poor husband's clothes.

He was from India, he was a gem.

He loved films,

he sang and danced all day long.

I've never met another man like him.

He always said we should go to India,

but my heart belongs to this land.

Are you a refugee?

No, what makes you think that?

When the talebans arrived,

they thought they were

the masters of the people's faith.

My father was one of the first

to get killed.

They said that the puppets were

idols and they burned all of them.

Nothing matters anymore.

Yes, I say the same thing.

They've relieved me of duty.

I can't do anything.

I'm nobody now.

Yes, you're an addict

like all the rest.

When you're high

you've got big f***ing pipe dreams.

- The old woman is alive.

- Bring her to the car.

They're still threatening us.

This time they said

that if we continue,

they'll burn down the theater.

City of bitterness...

What should I write

as the cause of death?

Write "drug related".

Add this as evidence.

City of death...

City of injustice...

Hello, brother.

Have you chosen your catch?

Don't be offended, I am a friend.

I have a better spot for you.

Come on, I'll show you.

Here you can make yourself at home,

you'll have everything.

While you stay,

you will protect one of the sisters.

That's a merit.

The one you pick

will be your slave forever.
