Rooftops of Tehran

Pasha is depressed about Doctor and Mr. Mehrbaan and is unable to sleep at night. He goes to the roof and sees Zari in her front yard. Zari goes up to her rooftop, and the two of them talk about Doctor while Zari cries. Zari says Doctor’s parents have become extremely ill from stress and worry. Pasha confesses that he feels responsible for Doctor’s arrest, explaining how the agents followed his gaze to Zari’s house on the night of the arrest. Zari forbids Pasha from thinking such negative thoughts; she says the SAVAK agents had been observing Doctor and the neighborhood for a while to gather intel on everyone. Zari whispers that she believes Doctor will be free soon, and the two reminisce about their carefree summer. Before leaving, Zari asks if Pasha confessed his feelings to his beloved, and Pasha says no.

Soon after, Pasha and Ahmed hear an erroneous rumor about Doctor: Supposedly, there was to be a bomb attack that killed many people, and Doctor and his group were involved in the schemes. However, Pasha and Ahmed know these are lies spread by the SAVAK to justify Doctor’s arrest.
