Qeysar, Farman's younger brother who works in Khuzestan, comes home with gifts for the family, only to find his siblings dead and his mother and uncle devastated by the events.

Afraid for his life, Mansour goes into hiding, while the police pursue Qeysar. Qeysar's mother dies. This only aggravates matters, strengthening Qeysar's desire for revenge. At the funeral he eludes the police. Qeysar then learns that Mansour has a girlfriend, Soheila Ferdos, an erotic dancer and singer. Qeysar visits Soheila, and seduces her. She takes him back to her apartment. Having discovered from her Mansour's hideout, Qeysar pursues him. Mansour is laying low in a railway siding. Spotting Qeysar, he attempts to escape. Qeysar catches him and the two fight. Mansour stabs Qeysar, badly wounding him, but the police arrive and Mansour is forced to flee back towards the wounded Qeysar, who summons enough strength to kill Mansour in a final fight. Now Qeysar flees from the police, who shoot him in the leg. Badly wounded, he tries to hide in an old train carriage, but the police move in on him.

“James’s great gift, of course, was his ability to tell a plot in shimmering detail with such delicacy of treatment and such fine aloofness—that is, reluctance to engage in any direct grappling with what, in the play or story, had actually “taken place”Mthat his listeners often did not, in the end, know what had, to put it in another way, “gone on.””
—James Thurber (1894–1961)
