- Behrouz!

Sasha:

Bez?

What the f***'s going on?

Behrouz:

Shh!

Farid:
Bezy? I know you're

in here somewhere...

Behrouz:

Sasha! Wait.

Behrouz:

Get in!

Behrouz?

Oksana, we...

We have to leave now.

What is he doing here?

What happened to your face?

I'm fine.

Get your stuff.

Are you going to say anything?

Behrouz! Say something!

Sepehr is dead. They're after

Sasha. They're after me.

If we don't leave now, they will

put us in an unmarked grave.

Sasha:

Bez!

They're coming.

Bez, they're coming.

Stay quiet.

Sasha...

Agh!

Come on!

Oksana:

Behrouz!

Behrouz:

Oksana, this way!

Oksana:

Are you alright?

What's going on?

Say something!

Behrouz!

What!? I'm driving!

After they leave,

I went to my dad's room...

And I find this old sweet tin

from Iran filled with...

I kid you not,

opium.

My dad and Behrouz are f***ing

o-p buddies.

Holy sh*t!

I wanna smoke opium!

Go to the room up at the end of

the hall.

Sara:

Behrouz?

Oh my god.

What happened to your face?

I'm fine. There was an accident.

We're gonna spend the night.

I should call papa.

Thank you, Sara.

F*** you, Behrouz!

F*** you!

You think my dad is gonna make

you a real estate agent?

He keeps you around because you

remind him of Iran.

I don't know what to say.

Behrouz:

I know how you feel.

I lost many friends in the war.

Are you scared of death?

No.

Bullshit.

They gave this to me

in the war.

It's a key

to paradise.

You believe this crap?

Sh*t looks like it's

made in China.

What do you believe in?

Nothing.

Nothing?

Nothing.

Man comes from apes.

Apes come from fish.

Fish comes from earth.

Earth comes from nothing.

We all go to nothing.

Nothing. Nothing! Nothing!

- Ok. I get it. Nothing!

You know what?

This... is a key...

To nothing.

Hello.

Cirrus:
I was told you

had quite the nightmare

in Sepehr's cafe.

That was our deal.

Our deal?

Already you sound like a "real

estate man".

Bravo, Behrouz-Jan. Bravo.

Behrouz? I raised you better

than this.

Are you a child?

What was he holding?

Good boy.

Now you see the value

plus my interest.

Cirrus-Jan?

You know what to do, Basiji.

F***!

Who were you talking to?

Cirrus?

Why were you at Sepehr's?

I was collecting a bet.

How did they do it?

You don't want to know.

I was sixteen when I met him.

He never gave me a choice.

Do you know what he said

before he threw me out?

That I wasn't fit

to be a mother...

That I wasn't even fit

to be a woman.

They burnt his eyes

and they slit his throat.

Oksana...

Where would Sepehr hide

his opium?

What?

He stole Cirrus Golshiri's opium

and now they want it back in

exchange for our lives.

You made this deal?

There's no deal to make, Oksana.

Where is it?

How would I know?

You lived with him.

You stole from him.

Is that what he told you?

Sasha:

Hey!

I know where.

Danush:

I like to f*** pig.

Farid:

Say it again.

I like to f*** pigs.

There you go.

What is it mean?

What is it mean?

I just told you.

I like to f*** pigs.

- Your father and I...

- Get away from me.

Oksana:

Behrouz:

Oksana?

Oksana!

What does this say?

Call him.

No. Why?

To see if he has the opium.

So what? Give the

money to Cirrus.

There should be 250,000.

There's 100,000.

Sepehr undersold.

Cirrus isn't going to accept.

- We'll go to Evgeny...

- No, no, no.

Not with him.

He's not some child

playing with guns.

We take the money. We run.

You, me, Sasha. Let's go.

Evgeny is your people.

Do something!

My people?

Cirrus is your people.

Your people. My people.

There's no such thing!

Tell me where he is.

I'll take it to him.

You don't get it.

Evgeny is worse than Cirrus.

He will kill you for the

pleasure of seeing the light

in your eyes go out.

We take Sasha and we run.

And go where?

You want him to run his

whole life?

Argh!

Are you Ok?

Don't stop!

Are you ready?

Oxy-foxy?

Listen to her Oksana.

Remember what I told you the

last time?

Evgeny made a bad deal

with Sepehr.

A very bad deal, trust me.

Ok Oxy-foxy. Chill. Ok?

Woman:

Svitlana?

Don't look at Evgeny.

He hates being looked at.

Woman:

Man:

Man/woman:

Man:

Ygor. No more cocaine for her.

She does what she likes.

I like what she does.

Woman:
I'm just getting started.

You are one big f***ing

cock tease.

One naughty little b*tch, yeah.

Too hot to Trotsky, ah?

Ciao, Bella.

Ciao, Oksana.

You lived here?

Evgeny:
Life is like

a box of chocolates.

I only like to

f*** the dark ones.

Ygor, we have guests.

Please, some hospitality.

Cocaine?

Oksana:

He smokes opium.

Opium?

Not another f***ing Iraaanian.

I tell you. No fatwa.

No ayatollah.

No mother-tongue

bullshit in here. Huh?

Here we're all Americans!

Yankee doodle dandee.

So you're the new chocolate?

Huh?

Well, you know how to

look at a man.

Mm...

I suppose you think I'm some

kind of f*ggot?

Maybe.

You know how that goes.

I like p*ssy.

I like hot c*nt.

So Oksana, you've come back here

to bite the hand that feeds you?

Sepehr Shahzad sold you opium

that he stole

from Cirrus Golshiri.

You accusing me of stealing?

No. No. Sepehr stole.

Then I suggest

Cirrus-go-suck-my-dick

takes it up with

Sepehr Mujahadeen.

He did. Sepehr's dead.

My condolences.

But you seem to have landed on

your back

with your legs in the air.

We return the money

you gave Sepehr.

You give us the opium.

We give it to Cirrus.

Fair.

Not fair.

I know you, sister.

I know your games, your tricks.

Oksana, she has talents and I

put those talents to work.

Then Sepehr Shahzad comes along

and buys her from me.

Triples my investment.

Crazy f***er is in love.

But he pays cash. Monthly.

Regularly. Dependably.

But paradise doesn't last

forever, eh, Oksana?

And now you come here with your

new chocolate...

and my money

demanding my drugs.

You tell me

Sepehr Shahzad is dead.

It's true! Sepehr is dead!

Ygor.

Call the Mujahadeen.

You Belarusian whore.

Ah!

Oksana:

Get off him!

Get the f*** off him!

Behrouz:

Well for an Arab's whore you're

not so docile.

Must be your Russian blood.

Agh!

Put the gun down!

You f***ing b*tch!

Oksana:

In the bag.

Give her the f***ing drugs!

And the money.

We don't need the money.

Give her the f***ing money!

Hurry! Get the door!

This is gonna be a ride!

Sasha?

La-la? La-la!?

Sasha!

It's not funny!

Sasha...

Sasha!

Sasha!

Cirrus?

And words of wisdom?

I can't find him.

Cirrus... we have your opium...

Where is Sasha?

Ah... look who's talking:

Mary Magdalene.

Your son has a nice smile.

Cirrus, please. Sasha had

nothing to do with this.

There's a place where the desert

meets the forest.

Behrouz knows it well.

Sunset.

Cirrus? Cirrus?

Sara!? Sara!!

Come here. Sara?

Sasha:

Time to f*** Ali Baba.

Oksana:
After Sasha was born I

wanted to take him to Belarus.

Sepehr wouldn't let me.

He took me to a forest

like this.

He beat me.

But then he felt guilty so he

drugged me.

I hallucinated for hours.

I saw colours and patterns. The
