00:18:42,890 --> 00:18:44,257
MAN ON TV: What a nice girl.
179
00:18:44,291 --> 00:18:47,361
MAN ON TV: The pilgrims spend
four days in Mashhad,
180
00:18:47,394 --> 00:18:50,397
visiting the Holy Shrine
of Imam Reza.
181
00:18:51,032 --> 00:18:53,768
Oh, Holy Imam Reza,
182
00:18:53,801 --> 00:18:55,803
peace be with you...
183
00:18:55,837 --> 00:19:00,708
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
184
00:19:02,977 --> 00:19:07,915
AREZOO: Why do you think
the murders have accelerated
in the past two months?
185
00:19:07,949 --> 00:19:09,784
ROSTAMI:
It might be a coincidence.
186
00:19:09,817 --> 00:19:12,720
Some of these murders
could be unrelated.
187
00:19:12,754 --> 00:19:15,023
But they all bear
the Spider Killer's mark.
188
00:19:15,056 --> 00:19:17,525
So you know more than us, huh?
189
00:19:17,558 --> 00:19:21,495
Do you still believe
this is a case
of an individual acting alone
190
00:19:21,529 --> 00:19:23,564
or could there be
a group involved?
191
00:19:23,598 --> 00:19:28,368
We believe it's an intelligent,
well-prepared, lone killer.
192
00:19:28,402 --> 00:19:31,204
ROSTAMI: But we can't
rule out other possibilities.
193
00:19:31,238 --> 00:19:33,641
-Such as?
-ROSTAMI:
Listen, Ms. Rahimi,
194
00:19:33,675 --> 00:19:35,342
it doesn't matter
how smart killers are.
195
00:19:35,375 --> 00:19:37,177
They all make mistakes.
196
00:19:37,210 --> 00:19:39,881
That's the golden rule
of criminology.
197
00:19:39,914 --> 00:19:42,684
And when they do, we catch them.
198
00:19:42,717 --> 00:19:44,251
What if he doesn't make
a mistake?
199
00:19:44,284 --> 00:19:46,888
He will, sooner or later.
200
00:19:46,921 --> 00:19:48,956
AREZOO: I'm not criticizing you,
201
00:19:48,990 --> 00:19:52,359
but the bodies are piling up and
you don't have a single clue.
202
00:19:52,392 --> 00:19:55,228
How could that be?
203
00:19:55,262 --> 00:19:57,297
Know your place, Miss!
204
00:19:57,330 --> 00:20:01,102
We're the police
and I'm the officer in charge.
205
00:20:01,135 --> 00:20:04,271
You've covered us
unfavorably from the start.
206
00:20:04,304 --> 00:20:07,542
Portrayed us as failures.
Do you think our job is easy?
207
00:20:07,575 --> 00:20:12,046
Do you want to swap places?
You can even have my badge!
208
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:13,881
We're under pressure
from Tehran.
209
00:20:13,915 --> 00:20:16,216
-I know.
-ROSTAMI: Everybody
has an opinion:
210
00:20:16,249 --> 00:20:19,319
MPs, the governor,
the police chief.
211
00:20:19,352 --> 00:20:20,722
Do you think our job is easy?
212
00:20:33,233 --> 00:20:34,535
Here you go.
213
00:20:37,304 --> 00:20:38,573
Marlboro Red!
214
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,375
-So you smoke.
-Now and then.
215
00:20:42,409 --> 00:20:44,645
That's what
all the real smokers say.
216
00:20:46,814 --> 00:20:49,550
Would you mind if I had
a look at the case files?
217
00:20:51,085 --> 00:20:52,820
Wow.
218
00:20:52,854 --> 00:20:55,656
The minute I loosen up,
you want to take advantage.
219
00:20:55,690 --> 00:21:00,427
I promise I won't publish
any details without
your approval.
220
00:21:02,663 --> 00:21:04,532
Let's meet and talk about it!
221
00:21:42,036 --> 00:21:44,539
"Confusion and delays,
222
00:21:44,572 --> 00:21:46,974
as well as
the lack of a strategy
223
00:21:47,008 --> 00:21:51,279
on the authorities' part,
are highly questionable."
224
00:21:51,311 --> 00:21:53,346
-MAN ON PHONE: Got it.
-"Meanwhile,
225
00:21:53,380 --> 00:21:55,950
the murders show
no sign of slowing down."
226
00:21:55,983 --> 00:21:57,018
MAN ON PHONE: Got it.
227
00:21:58,385 --> 00:22:00,621
That's very dry, you know?
228
00:22:00,655 --> 00:22:02,623
You're right,
the conclusion is weak.
229
00:22:02,657 --> 00:22:04,192
MAN ON PHONE: That's true.
230
00:22:04,225 --> 00:22:06,861
-Make it a bit juicier.
-How about this:
231
00:22:06,894 --> 00:22:11,032
"The shadow of the Spider Killer
is looming large..."
232
00:22:11,065 --> 00:22:13,034
"The shadow of the Spider Killer
233
00:22:13,067 --> 00:22:14,936
is looming large
over Mashhad..."
234
00:22:14,969 --> 00:22:17,605
"... is looming large
over Mashhad."
-MAN ON PHONE: Not bad.
235
00:22:17,638 --> 00:22:19,674
MAN ON PHONE: That sounds great.
236
00:22:19,707 --> 00:22:21,809
-Yes, it's stronger.
-MAN ON PHONE: It's great.
237
00:22:26,113 --> 00:22:28,115
Come on, Dad, faster!
238
00:22:34,856 --> 00:22:36,023
Faster, Dad!
239
00:22:42,129 --> 00:22:43,396
Hold on tight.
240
00:22:47,467 --> 00:22:49,369
This is fun!
241
00:22:49,402 --> 00:22:51,272
Be careful you don't fall off.
242
00:22:51,305 --> 00:22:53,975
Your mom would skin
me alive if she knew.
243
00:22:54,575 --> 00:22:56,544
ALI: I almost fell off!
244
00:22:56,577 --> 00:22:58,779
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
245
00:24:54,962 --> 00:24:57,865
SAEED: Khin-e Arab Road,
between kilometers 10 and 15.
246
00:24:57,898 --> 00:24:59,600
SHARIFI: Right.
247
00:24:59,633 --> 00:25:01,435
SAEED: Stop writing
all this bullshit in your paper!
248
00:25:01,469 --> 00:25:05,206
-SHARIFI: What bullshit?
-SAEED: I'm cleaning the streets
for Imam Reza.
249
00:25:05,239 --> 00:25:06,774
SHARIFI: That's enough!
250
00:25:06,807 --> 00:25:10,211
-SAEED: No, it's not enough!
-SHARIFI: What's your name?
251
00:25:10,244 --> 00:25:14,782
-SHARIFI: How long are
you gonna do this?
-As long as it takes!
252
00:25:14,815 --> 00:25:18,152
I won't allow the martyrs' blood
to go to waste!
253
00:25:18,185 --> 00:25:20,588
-SHARIFI: People like you...
-SAEED: Shut up!
254
00:25:24,959 --> 00:25:28,029
Did they find anything in common
between these murders?
255
00:25:28,829 --> 00:25:31,932
Apparently he has
his own trademark.
256
00:25:31,966 --> 00:25:34,869
He ties a double knot
in the victim's headscarf
257
00:25:34,902 --> 00:25:37,038
and strangles them with it.
258
00:25:37,071 --> 00:25:40,274
-All ten women?
-That's what the coroner said.
259
00:25:42,576 --> 00:25:45,179
You're lucky the coroner
talks to you.
260
00:25:45,212 --> 00:25:47,681
He doesn't answer my calls.
261
00:25:48,482 --> 00:25:51,218
He's a friend of mine.
262
00:25:51,252 --> 00:25:52,820
Why don't "your friends"
263
00:25:52,853 --> 00:25:54,789
run some DNA tests
or fingerprints?
264
00:25:54,822 --> 00:25:58,325
The lab in Tehran
tried running some DNA tests,
265
00:25:59,193 --> 00:26:02,296
but they're new to this.
266
00:26:02,329 --> 00:26:05,866
Besides,
they still need a suspect.
267
00:26:05,900 --> 00:26:08,002
They can't get far without one.
268
00:26:09,504 --> 00:26:11,972
The guy kills ten women
by the same method,
269
00:26:12,006 --> 00:26:14,375
dumps their bodies
in the same area
270
00:26:14,408 --> 00:26:15,510
and still hasn't been caught.
271
00:26:15,544 --> 00:26:17,111
Isn't that strange?
272
00:26:17,144 --> 00:26:18,913
He's an insider.
Someone's covering up for him.
273
00:26:21,715 --> 00:26:25,886
I can't see how
my personal opinion
would help you.
274
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,355
Well, some people
think it's murder,
275
00:26:28,389 --> 00:26:30,858
others think
it's something else.
276
00:26:32,226 --> 00:26:34,929
-If it's not murder, what is it?
-AREZOO: Some say
277
00:26:34,962 --> 00:26:37,932
this person is
carrying out a fatwa.
278
00:26:37,965 --> 00:26:41,635
Your Honor, this is,
of course, not our opinion.
279
00:26:41,669 --> 00:26:43,204
Just so there are
no misunderstandings.
280
00:26:44,939 --> 00:26:48,042
JUDGE: I know why you're here.
281
00:26:48,075 --> 00:26:51,212
I know why you put
on that chador,
282
00:26:51,245 --> 00:26:52,313
Ms. Rahimi.
283
00:26:52,913 --> 00:26:54,982
You don't need to pretend.
284
00:26:55,015 --> 00:26:58,719
I know you
don't like us clerics.
285
00:26:58,752 --> 00:27:02,790
You believe we conspire
behind closed doors.
286
00:27:02,823 --> 00:27:06,093
You think the system is rigged,
but it isn't.
287
00:27:06,127 --> 00:27:09,864
In God's eyes,
each and every life is sacred.
288
00:27:12,099 --> 00:27:15,202
So you don't think
these women deserved to die?
289
00:27:15,236 --> 00:27:16,904
JUDGE: Why should I?
290
00:27:16,937 --> 00:27:19,006
Prostitution
is a social problem.
291
00:27:20,107 --> 00:27:22,409
You don't sell
your body on the street
292
00:27:22,443 --> 00:27:25,514
if you're not poor
and desperate.
293
00:27:25,547 --> 00:27:28,983
The government is supposed
to take care of its citizens.
294
00:27:29,016 --> 00:27:31,952
And even if there were a fatwa,
which isn't the case,
295
00:27:31,986 --> 00:27:36,090
it would be a religious
recommendation,
not a command.
296
00:27:37,758 --> 00:27:40,161
Thank you for
that clarification, Your Honor.
297
00:27:40,194 --> 00:27:42,329
JUDGE: You're welcome.
298
00:27:42,363 --> 00:27:47,301
Is there a chance
we could get access
to the case files?
299
00:27:47,334 --> 00:27:51,005
The police are on board
with us reporting about it.
300
00:27:52,339 --> 00:27:54,975
Why are you so interested
in this case,
Ms. Rahimi?
301
00:27:55,009 --> 00:27:56,578
Because it's my job, Your Honor.
302
00:27:56,611 --> 00:28:01,182
JUDGE: Your job is to inform,
not to spread fear in society,
303
00:28:01,215 --> 00:28:04,251
and not to whip
the public into a frenzy.
304
00:28:04,285 --> 00:28:09,290
We aren't spreading
fear in society.
People are already afraid.
305
00:28:09,990 --> 00:28:11,258
Ms. Rahimi, I won't allow you
306
00:28:12,193 --> 00:28:15,196
to turn this case
into a scandal.
307
00:28:15,229 --> 00:28:17,364
Like you did
with your own private life.
308
00:28:17,932 --> 00:28:21,536
Be careful what you do.
309
00:28:21,570 --> 00:28:24,772
Especially in
the holy city of Mashhad.
310
00:28:25,674 --> 00:28:27,341
SHARIFI: Thank you, Your Honor.
311
00:28:28,809 --> 00:28:30,144
JUDGE: May Allah be
with you both.
312
00:28:31,946 --> 00:28:34,715
AREZOO: I need to talk
to the girls myself.
313
00:28:34,748 --> 00:28:37,519
One of them must have seen him.
314
00:28:37,552 --> 00:28:39,954
Yeah, but it's difficult
to talk to them.
315
00:28:39,987 --> 00:28:43,490
You can't trust these girls.
316
00:28:43,525 --> 00:28:48,362
They do drugs, they're unstable,
they lie most of the time.
317
00:28:48,395 --> 00:28:51,832
If the cops were smarter,
318
00:28:51,865 --> 00:28:56,136
they would pay one of the girls
to be bait for this guy.
319
00:28:56,170 --> 00:29:01,742
I'd love to see the cops
and prostitutes cooperating!
320
00:29:05,813 --> 00:29:10,184
By the way,
what is this Tehran story about?
321
00:29:11,418 --> 00:29:16,857
There were rumors about you
and the editor-in-chief.
322
00:29:16,890 --> 00:29:18,792
That there was something
going on between you two.
323
00:29:22,731 --> 00:29:24,031
Something going on?
324
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,168
For every article
I wanted to run,
325
00:29:28,202 --> 00:29:31,272
he would make me stay at work
outside office hours.
326
00:29:31,305 --> 00:29:33,307
He wanted me to go to his home,
into his bedroom.
327
00:29:34,875 --> 00:29:37,011
I reported him and was fired.
328
00:29:37,044 --> 00:29:39,748
Do you call that
"something going on"?
329
00:29:39,780 --> 00:29:42,816
I'm the victim here,
but people are talking
behind my back?
330
00:29:42,850 --> 00:29:46,220
I didn't mean to offend you.
331
00:29:46,253 --> 00:29:49,857
Then you shouldn't have said it,
Sharifi.
332
00:29:49,890 --> 00:29:52,026
But you know me.
333
00:29:52,059 --> 00:29:54,729
It's too crowded here.
I'm going back to the hotel.
334
00:29:54,763 --> 00:29:56,665
-I'll walk you there.
-AREZOO: No need.
335
00:29:56,698 --> 00:29:59,133
SHARIFI: I didn't mean any harm.
I just heard some dumb rumors.
336
00:30:11,746 --> 00:30:14,815
-SAEED: God is great.
-KHADIJEH: Aren't we
supposed to play now?
337
00:30:19,820 --> 00:30:21,255
-(KHADIJEH GIGGLES)
-SAEED: God is great.
338
00:30:21,288 --> 00:30:23,591
We can't play
in the middle of my prayers!
339
00:30:23,625 --> 00:30:24,858
KHADIJEH: Yes, we can.
340
00:30:24,892 --> 00:30:28,095
You little scamp!
You wanna interrupt my prayers?
341
00:30:28,128 --> 00:30:32,833
-Don't move now,
or I'll tickle you!
-(KHADIJEH GIGGLES)
342
00:30:32,866 --> 00:30:35,903
Watch out. I'm gonna tickle you!
343
00:30:35,936 --> 00:30:37,971
MAN 1: This killer is causing
some panic!
344
00:30:38,005 --> 00:30:40,307

that it wouldn't be

Good.
He'll be back in a few days.

Who did he fight with?
875
01:20:15,883 --> 01:20:18,485
He didn't fight with anyone.
876
01:20:19,788 --> 01:20:24,559
There were some corrupt women.
Your father took care of them.

Don't worry about it, Ali.
Allah is watching over us.

So they'll let him go?

Of course
he didn't do anything wrong.

who sold drugs
to kids on the street.

Some people came by
926
01:23:06,053 --> 01:23:09,256
and tried to persuade us
to forgive him.
927
01:23:09,289 --> 01:23:12,727
They had all sorts of arguments,
offered us money.
928

And will you forgive him?
929

compensation?

wouldn't bring her back.

But my client had
a well-established history
1000

of mental illness
even before that.
1001
01:27:43,731 --> 01:27:46,266
The question is
whether he himself
1002

supports this line of argument.
1003

Is that what you believe?

I don't want my supporters

Are you laughing?
1048
01:30:11,979 --> 01:30:14,081
-You did.
-I did?

I got into a fight.
1053
01:30:29,096 --> 01:30:30,131
A fight? Why?
1054
01:30:31,732 --> 01:30:34,602
A boy said to me:
"Your dad's a murderer."
1055
01:30:36,704 --> 01:30:38,606
That's not a problem.
1056

Everyone has their
own opinion about it.
1057
01:30:40,741 --> 01:30:43,778
Most people like you,
I know that.
1058
01:30:43,811 --> 01:30:45,146
I'm innocent.
1059
01:30:46,213 --> 01:30:49,083
I did it all for God.
1060
01:30:49,116 --> 01:30:50,818
My hands are clean.
1061
01:30:50,851 --> 01:30:53,087
How did you take care
of those women?
1062
01:30:55,389 --> 01:30:59,994
-It's not something for kids.
-But you told me I was an adult!
1063
01:31:00,027 --> 01:31:01,829
And you believed it?
1064
01:31:01,862 --> 01:31:03,965
Just tell me how
you took care of them.
1065
01:31:07,735 --> 01:31:11,105
I picked them up in the street.
1066
01:31:12,440 --> 01:31:14,275
And then, at our place,
1067
01:31:14,308 --> 01:31:17,511
I threw them to the floor.
1068
01:31:17,545 --> 01:31:20,247
Then I strangled them.
1069
01:31:20,281 --> 01:31:22,116
Didn't they fight back?
1070
01:31:22,149 --> 01:31:26,854
Of course they fought back.
Sure they did.
1071
01:31:26,887 --> 01:31:28,823
But your father
took care of them.
1072
01:31:37,999 --> 01:31:43,404
Thank you for agreeing to see us
during this difficult time.

Ask your questions.
1074
01:31:44,939 --> 01:31:46,674
How did you react
when you found out
1075
01:31:46,707 --> 01:31:49,276
your husband
was the Spider Killer?
1076
01:31:49,310 --> 01:31:53,681
I was shocked.
I couldn't believe
1077
01:31:53,714 --> 01:31:57,952
that Saeed was capable of doing
something like that.
1078
01:31:57,985 --> 01:31:59,553
I was shocked.
1079
01:31:59,587 --> 01:32:03,624
Did his behavior change at all
in the past year?
1080
01:32:03,657 --> 01:32:06,794
Not at all.
Saeed was the same as always.
1081
01:32:06,827 --> 01:32:08,929
There was no change at all.
1082
01:32:08,963 --> 01:32:12,099
He went to work,
took care of his family.
1083
01:32:12,133 --> 01:32:16,537
I had no reason to suspect
he was doing anything.
1084
01:32:16,570 --> 01:32:18,672
If those women had been decent,
1085
01:32:18,706 --> 01:32:20,708
they wouldn't have been
on the streets
1086
01:32:20,741 --> 01:32:22,743
chasing other women's husbands.
1087
01:32:22,777 --> 01:32:24,979
I was also one of them.
1088
01:32:25,012 --> 01:32:28,416
Your husband brought me here,
to your home.
1089
01:32:28,449 --> 01:32:32,586
FATIMA: You had no right to be
roaming about on the streets!
1090
01:32:32,620 --> 01:32:35,689
My husband was forced
to do his duty.
1091
01:32:35,723 --> 01:32:37,925
Is he the police?
1092
01:32:37,958 --> 01:32:39,528
Is it his duty
to "cleanse" the city?
1093
01:32:39,560 --> 01:32:41,695
FATIMA: He was
at the front line.
1094
01:32:41,729 --> 01:32:43,431
He comes from
a family of martyrs!
1095
01:32:43,464 --> 01:32:45,534
And when he sees these women
1096
01:32:45,566 --> 01:32:47,802
on the streets
of this holy city,
1097
01:32:47,835 --> 01:32:51,439
chewing gum, wearing short coats
and high-heels...
1098
01:32:51,472 --> 01:32:52,973
Do you think that's normal?
1099
01:32:53,007 --> 01:32:54,809
SHARIFI: Mrs. Azimi,
that isn't the point...
1100
01:32:54,842 --> 01:32:57,611
Could we talk to Ali about it?
1101
01:33:00,314 --> 01:33:04,952
Why not?
Ali loves his father. Ali.

On the basis
of Saeed Azimi's confessions

of the murders,

in accordance with paragraphs
1107
01:33:22,837 --> 01:33:25,406

of the Islamic penal code,
1108
01:33:25,439 --> 01:33:28,642
the court should
sentence the accused
1109
01:33:28,676 --> 01:33:31,212
to the maximum penalty.
1110

has a final opportunity
to speak in his own defense.

the truth and bring

should be averse.

with that make-up.

Why should I?
I was only doing my duty.

of these women in my sights

around the shrine.

And you never felt anything
while you were killing them?

01:35:50,284 --> 01:35:51,653
No.
1148
01:35:51,686 --> 01:35:54,088
Didn't you enjoy
trying to kill me?
1149
01:35:54,121 --> 01:35:57,858
Didn't you get a kick
out of murder?
1150
01:35:57,891 --> 01:35:59,893
I enjoyed the feeling
of cleansing,
1151
01:35:59,927 --> 01:36:01,462
but I didn't feel
any personal pleasure.

of spreading fear
and endangering public safety.
1173
01:37:18,172 --> 01:37:21,075
He will therefore receive
12 death sentences.

to pay compensation

to the families
of four of the victims.

01:37:25,312 --> 01:37:28,182

via the courtyard

-HAJI: Take care of yourself.
1212

Thank you so much, Haji.
1213
01:39:37,144 --> 01:39:38,746
We'll take care of your family.
Don't worry.
1214
01:39:38,780 --> 01:39:41,683
-Thank you, Haji.
-You are honorable.

to anyone about this.

This has to remain
totally hush-hush!

1309
01:49:14,388 --> 01:49:16,690
since his arrest,
10 or 20 people
1310
01:49:16,724 --> 01:49:19,293
have asked me
to continue my dad's work.
1311
01:49:19,326 --> 01:49:22,763
I say, "Let's wait and see."
1312
01:49:22,797 --> 01:49:26,867
As soon as they came in here,
he would quickly lock the door
1313
01:49:28,002 --> 01:49:30,905
and remove the key
from the lock.
1314
01:49:30,938 --> 01:49:33,707
He would then give
the woman a little money.
1315
01:49:33,741 --> 01:49:36,110
While she was counting
the money here,
1316
01:49:36,143 --> 01:49:38,612
he would sneak up
on her from behind,
1317
01:49:39,613 --> 01:49:42,517
put both his hands
around her throat
1318
01:49:42,551 --> 01:49:46,687
and start squeezing.
1319
01:49:46,720 --> 01:49:49,323
The woman would then
fall half-dead to the floor
1320
01:49:50,458 --> 01:49:55,029
and he would kneel
on her like this,
1321
01:49:55,062 --> 01:49:57,064
pushing his knee
into her throat.
1322
01:49:58,766 --> 01:50:02,436
Just a sec...
Khadijeh, come over here.
1323
01:50:02,470 --> 01:50:04,605
It's okay. We get what you mean.
1324
01:50:04,638 --> 01:50:06,974
No, wait a just a moment...
1325
01:50:07,007 --> 01:50:08,943
Lay down here with your head
to the side.
1326
01:50:10,044 --> 01:50:11,645
A bit further...
1327
01:50:13,247 --> 01:50:15,015
And lay straight.
1328
01:50:17,818 --> 01:50:20,287
So he would kneel down
on the woman
1329
01:50:20,321 --> 01:50:23,357
with his knee on her throat.
1330
01:50:23,390 --> 01:50:27,562
I'm not gonna do it for real,
I'm just demonstrating.
1331
01:50:27,596 --> 01:50:30,898
Then he would put his forearm
over her mouth
1332
01:50:31,732 --> 01:50:33,100
and then finish her off
1333
01:50:33,134 --> 01:50:36,170
by strangling her
with her headscarf.
1334
01:50:37,338 --> 01:50:38,672
And then?
1335
01:50:38,706 --> 01:50:40,941
That takes a lot of strength.
1336
01:50:40,975 --> 01:50:46,180
For the weak ones, the junkies,
it was over pretty quickly.
1337
01:50:47,915 --> 01:50:49,283
What did he do with the bodies?
1338
01:50:50,284 --> 01:50:54,889
He would wrap them up
in something.
1339
01:50:55,557 --> 01:50:56,991
Like this.
1340
01:50:58,125 --> 01:50:59,326
I'm dead.
1341
01:51:03,164 --> 01:51:06,700
Don't laugh,
they're filming you. Don't move.
1342
01:51:07,201 --> 01:51:08,302
I'm dead.
1343
01:51:09,303 --> 01:51:10,371
You clown!
1344
01:51:11,839 --> 01:51:14,241
The whole thing
took about 30 minutes.
1345
01:51:15,442 --> 01:51:20,114
And then about another hour
to get rid of the body.
1346
01:51:21,815 --> 01:51:23,817
So he was able to rid society
of a corrupt woman
1347
01:51:24,619 --> 01:51:26,687
in less than two hours.
