- My name is Sahra. I came here recently with my relative.

- Who told you to come here?

- Saeed recommend that I come to you.

- Well, you shouldv'e known I'm not a dentist anymore.

- But you were in Iran, weren't you?

- Yes, but I'm not licensed to practice here.

- All you need to do is pull a few teeth. No one will know you were there.

- Look, if your father can't move, I recommend you call an ambulance or a healthcare provider.

- We don't have insurance yet.

- I'm sorry, I just can't take the risk. I'm very sorry, but I can't help you. Look, I can put you in touch with a real dentist.

- There is no time left, please. I came a very long way.

- I'm nine, Dad, I can take care of myself.

- All right, I'll grab my tools, I'll get ready. Thank you.

- [Hamed] Zahra is it?

- Sahra. Your English is good.

- Thank you. My father used to work for the US Army as the translator. So we would often speak English at home.

- We used to speak Farsi at home for Rayan. His mom wanted it that way.

- [Relative] As-Salaam-Alaikum.

- Salaam.

- These are my relatives, they're here to help.

- I don't operate on corpses, I'm sorry.

- Wait a minute, please, doctor, I can explain. My father has 11 gold teeth. We need to extract them before burying him tonight.

- You lied to me.

- I'm sorry, but if I--

- You didn't tell me your father was dead.

- But if I had told you, you wouldn't have helped us. Look, I can show you his official visit if you like !

- I doubt he died of natural causes. I don't even know if you're really his daughter. And what happens when they ask who extracted the teeth at the autopsy?

- [Sahra] I can promise you, no one will know you were there.

- You can't promise that.

- My brother is in danger in Afghanistan. The gold teeth are to help him escape the Taliban. Please, he's being tortured. What would you do if it was your own son?

- I'm gonna have to break his jaw.

- There must be another way. Our customs demand we respect the body.

- I know, but he's got rigor mortis. The muscles have stiffened all around. It's locked into place. I'm afraid we don't have a choice.

- There has to be another way.

- Well, do you have any sort of string? Okay, you can pull a little bit, gently. Pull, pull, pull, pull, just hold on. There you go, that's good, keep it tight. Good, now, when I tell you, you need to start pulling hard, but slow, very slow, okay? Slowly, just pull a little bit harder now. Good, hold it right there.

- Some say a deceased body still has its senses for a few hours. Pull a little bit more, pull out a bit more. Okay, good, good, hold it right there. No, no, keep pulling, no! Okay, leave it alone, leave it alone. I'm gonna need a minute.

- Do you smoke?

- No, thanks. Actually, yes, please.

- [Sahra] Here.

- So why does your father have so many gold teeth?

- They're his life savings. Before 9/11, we escaped the Taliban and became refugee in Europe. But we were robbed by soldiers, human traffickers. After US invasion, we returned to Afghanistan and my father decided to hide his money in gold teeth to protect it.

- You've been through a lot. How come your brother didn't make it out?

- My brother was captured on the way to the airport.

- [Hamed] Why?

- He is queer.

- Do you know what happened to him?

- For a long time, we thought he was dead. And then, last night he contacted us from a safe house in Kabul. My father was so worried that he had a heart attack shortly after.

- It's never easy to lose the ones you love, but it's important to live for the ones you still have, huh?

- The lady left it out front.

- Okay.

- Jamaal, Jamaal.

- I can hear you now. Sorry, we have bad reception here.

- We prepared the money. Tomorrow, we'll send to our contact in Kabul. We'll get you out, okay?

- [Jamaal] Really?

- Yeah.

- More patrols, they're searching every house. Last night to kill Masut.

- Listen, please be careful. Father wants to see you in one piece.

- Yeah, where is Father, can I speak to him? Why are you crying, Sahra?
