[People of the Wind]
The story of a grocer girl!
Once, there was a grocer girl,
Who was going to every plain,
She'd wore the scent of there,
And with smelling every flower,
She would tell what cure it is,
And that could heal some blind and the dead.
One spring, the newly wedded bride got very sick from a poisonous flower.
The grocer girl wasn't from the Hava.
She and her merchant husband were passing by these areas,
That this plague fell on them.
And it had grounded them in the Hava for several years.
Everything she was eating, was coming back as a bitter yellow bile.
[Coughing]
Her blushed cheeks got yellow.
Her curly hair was intertwined, and she was green about the gills.
Until life became blurry in front of her charming eyes.
And she was about to leave the life.
And her dear name that is still remembered,
Became her only cold headstone.
The goat started talking, and told the shepherd:
If you want her to live,
You must take my beating heart, and feed it to her.
But with one condition.
You must go to the Yellow Mountain, one night.
The shepherd accepted the condition without any hesitation.
And took his one and only goat,
Who revealed the secret of the casket for his fellowship,
Hung it on the tree and took its head off with one move!
He cut the head and threw it away.
He peeled the skin and threw it away.
He cut the meat and threw it away,
Until he got to the heart.
He wrapped the still beating heart...
In a bamboo leaf and fed it to her.
The girl's face was covered with goat's blood,
But whenever she blinked,
Her endless beauty would freak the shepherd out.
The shepherd said, "Let her sleep three days and night,
Just gave her some water, every hour."
Then, he went down the mountain like a thunder.
What can I say?
On that three days waiting, what happened to the shepherd.
He just climbed the mountain like a thunder,
Arrived at the girl's doorstep and waited.
As soon as their eyes met,
The girl felt better.
- The girl looked at him. - The shepherd looked at her.
- The girl looked at him! - The shepherd looked at her!
- The girl looked at him! - The shepherd was thinking that...
His heart's gonna explode into pieces, any second.
It's gonna rip off the skin, and his warm heart's gonna fall on the ground.
That was two lover's glance at each other.
A love that not even Shirin and Farhad can't be compared to.
The shepherd said, "I made a promise. and I have to go to the Yellow Mountain, one night."
But then, what happened?
What happened that the shepherd not that night,
Not that year,
Not even the years later, never came back from the Yellow Mountain?
What's wrong, Hassan Ali?
Nothing, nothing.
It's almost done.
I just...
I just need something.
A...
Something that...
... I'm looking for.
I have to find it.
I found it.
It's done.
I guess, when we dug out the jars, they started chasing us.
There's something wrong with them. They're sick.
I told you to bury them, Saber.
I told you to bury them.
Atri...
Let's go out.
They're not that scary.
Their car is going to be fixed now, And they'll be gone.
Go help Hassan Ali to finish it.
Hassan Ali?
[Singing Folklore Song]
Hassan Ali!
[Dogs Barking]
Why don't you come inside if you don't feel alright?
- What? - What were you talking about?
Nothing.
What were you talking and laughing about?
He said the doctor doesn't know. I said he does.
Who's the doctor?
The one we're gonna go to him to help us have kids.
The old house that became a hospital.
There's a good doctor there. They say he works, miraculously.
What are you saying, Atri?
Hassan Ali!
​Hasn't our car been fixed yet?
Don't you remember?
Don't you really remember?
They don't seem okay.
I don't know why they won't go.
Why don't you fix their car so they'll be gone, sooner?
I don't know where the hell Hassan Ali is.
Hassan Ali!
These people caused too much trouble for the doctor, Saber.
Look what they're doing here, make it a hundred times worse.
They're crazy, otherwise, the doctor is a good person.
The doctor once saved me. Just like you saved me, Saber.
I owe you, big time. I don't know how to repay you.
Do you hear what I'm saying?
Saber!
Atri!
[Groaning]
Don't worry, Dear Saber. She's not your wife, Atri.
You, bastard!
What did you do that to her?
Calm down.
Take it easy. Easy.
Take it easy.
You saved our lives.
We're helping you.
All of these are in here.
Atri?
You have to come with us.
Do you remember, Saber. Right?
The next demon has come.
[Groaning]
Aah! Saber?
I also know some tricks. Look!
Come find me, Saber.
Go with them.
Do you know what will happen if you stay?
You'll be damned.
Don't be afraid.
Atri's fine.
We're gonna go after her, now.
Saber?
We want to save you.
You helped us. Now, we're going to help you.
Atri's captivated somewhere.
We have to go after her.
Come with us.
[Singing Folklore Song]
Drink it.
It makes you feel better.
What is it?
Your cure.
How long before we get there?
It's just outside the Hava village, Master's old house. Don't you remember?
Probably, you want to say you don't know the doctor, either.
No. Who is he?
Come on!
What?
Are you going to drive me crazy?
We are the crazy ones.
How are we going to drive you crazy?
If the doctor was here, he'd say...
Criminal, sir. Criminal.
Saber, stop the car and buy us a some cigarettes.
Ma'am?
Come here for a second.
Do you see someone in my car?
i'm blind.
What do their feet look like?
Their feet?
I don't know.
What do you want?
Cigarettes.
Read this, too.
Cigarettes!
I have a lighter.
You're an inspector.
We must report the results of the method to your superiors.
Nothing more.
Explaining the method,
Needs a knowledge that I can't discuss it with you.
Come in.
This man is a real artist.
Actually, he's become an artist.
Come and see, closely.
How did you learn this?
His father was an artist.
He used to play instruments.
He was a painter and a poet, too.
After his father's death,
One night, he went to his instruments and started playing.
And since then, he's been thinking...
... that he's actually his own father.
He came here, voluntarily. and said:
"I killed my son."
So, was he treated like a criminal or a patient?
Who cares?
When this patient walked in here, he believed that he's committed a crime.
That he's killed his son.
While,
He is the son.
Now, how can you differentiate...
... between a crime and an illness?
I have to talk to the patient a few minutes, alone.
Definitely not.
This patient is still under treatment.
And one inappropriate question...
... might undo what is done.
I'll definitely report these restrictions that is created for an inspector.
You must do that.
I'm a doctor, treating my patient.
And the patient is more important than anyone else, for me.
If you have a question,
You can ask it while I'm here.
Where is this place that you drew?
Right here.
Are these patients from here?
No.
Many years ago, when an infant burned in the nursery, here,
They put the half-burnt baby right here in the ice,
to bury him tomorrow.
Go on.
At midnight, a snake smelled the burned meat and came for it.
While It was devouring him,
His mother arrived, saw his baby in the snake's mouth and went crazy.
Everybody went crazy.
Okay.
What happened next?
Who is he?
The master.
Who's the master?
Don't you think that's enough?
Are you interrogating the patient?
If you think the patient is a criminal, then, It's okay to interrogate him.
Who's the master?
The master, master of this mansion, father of that baby.
The ones who couldn't have children for many years.
Now, his only child had burned in the fire. And her wife had gone crazy.
And he died here in this mansion a few weeks later.
What happened to the rest of the people in this house?
I have to stop you, now. That's enough.
Don't you see? He didn't even say a word. And now he's story telling. Let's go.
Nurse!
Please, show him to my office.
I'll be there in a minute.
Come with me, please.
No. We can't smoke here.
That's so beautiful. Would you give it to me?
[Screaming]
What was that?
I have no idea.
Let's go. I want you to meet someone.
Have you ever seen a witch up close?
I mean, a real witch.
Has she also come here, voluntarily?
Yes, sir.
She thinks if she becomes a child's Daye, (Baby sitter)
The child would be cursed and wouldn't grow up.
Either the child stays the same age or they'd die at that age.
She came here by herself.
She said that She doesn't want to be a witch anymore.
How is the doctor's behavior towards this old woman?
Nothing's wrong with Daye.
She just cast a spell on the shoemaker's child.
The child is two years old for twenty yeas, now.
Although, it's completely unintentional, you know.
Like someone who kills a person in an accident.
So, you also confused the illness with a crime, just like the doctor.
What is it to me?
[Singing Lullaby]
Why do they bring you here?
I'm a witch.
So, what is bothering you about this?
Don't be a witch.
You don't become a witch,
You are born a witch.
Endless love,
Can cast a spell on you.
The shoemaker's twenty year old child...
... is twenty, now!
Does the doctor beat you up, too?
Would you take me from here?
Why?
I want to go find my dad.
He's a wanderer magician.
He has a black mule and an orange caravan.
Every spring, he used to come here.
Haven't you seen him?
Is he deaf-mute?
Yes.
I guess, I've seen him.
When?
Last spring, I think.
Almost nighttime.
Would you take me to him?
I... can't.
Why can't you?
Would you call the doctor?
I have to go now.
[Chickens Clucking]
Sorry for the wait.
Tell me, Is that woman really a nurse, or is she one of the patients?
Of course, she's one of the patients.
Haven't you noticed?
Did she tell you something?
No.
So, why did you give the nurse's uniform to her?
Because she likes being a nurse.
So, you let her live in her hallucination?
That's not her hallucination. That's her reality.
She wants to be a nurse, So, she should be a nurse.
I can't understand your treatment method, at all.
Soon, I'll send a doctor here.
To examine your method, thoroughly and report it to me.
Also,
Four people is too few for that big asylum.
I guess it's going to be closed soon.
Be ready.
As you wish.
Excuse me for a second.
- I'll be back. - I have to go, now.
It doesn't take more than a few minutes.
Run from here.
You're a criminal now.
They're making room for you in this hell.
Run, my son.
They're planning something against you.
Run!
[Screaming]
No!
[Screaming]
What's happening?
Who's he?
What has he done?
Thievery.
Two sacks of rice from Heyrat',
- A sickle, some hens and... - Stop.
Pick him up and bring him.
And you go away, now.
You go now.
Don't you need help?
Get him down.
[Laughing]
Show me your eyes.
[Laughing]
Why do they hurt?
Because they're burning.
[Laughing]
Where is Hassan Ali?
[Laughing]
Beating up three times a day and food one time a day.
Can you believe it?
What happened to Atri and Hassan Ali?
We're going after them.
I saw it myself. You killed them.
I, myself love humans.
How can I kill somebody who's pregnant?
I'm Daye.
Does Atri's pregnant?
Yes. She has Devil's child.
Where did you go?
Why didn't you come back from Yellow Mountain?
I don't remember.
Saber, look out!
[Gasping]
[Groaning]
[Passing Out]
Saber?
Where do you get an ambulance, Saber?
What's wrong with you?
Why don't you stop?
Let him go. He's not okay.
[Gasping]
He's gone crazy. Look at his eyes.
Where are you looking at?
Do you see us, right?
Did you go after her again?
You've wasted yourself for that woman. That's not enough?
I have to go after Atri.
They'll kill her.
They've killed her.
Have they killed her? Or will they kill her?
She's gone already, Saber.
She's not from the Hava anymore.
She's gone from this village.
He is delusional.
What happened, then?
Saber?
Wake up.
Wake up. You're gonna be alright.
Saber?
[Mumbling]
Get up and smoke Hubble bubble.
- Ha? - Get up.
Get up, Saber.
[Groaning]
The doctor's coming.
[Dogs Barking]
What happened, then?
Drink this, son.
Let me go after my wife.
They'll kill her. Hassan Ali, too.
Who's your wife?
Atri.
Atri's gone.
Don't let her drive you crazy.
Don't let her make you mad.
Go on. Drink this.
[Bubbling]
I'm afraid that my wife's gonna die.
Shush!
- You don't wanna know! - Where's the doctor?
He got in the car.
- Didn't he told us to not say anything? - Why not?
[Gasping]
In the middle of the road,
Some woman was standing on the road, keep hitting her head.
And we had to get her in the car.
She thought that's the doctor's ambulance.
We got lucky that the doctor was with us.
Her child was about to die!
What's he saying?
Does anyone know?
The doctor resurrected a child.
Yes, that's right. They got resurrected.
The dead child got up and walked.
The doctor's here.
