  • HOTEL TEHRAN AUDITION (Performance Video)  Quicktime

    [ZARA] Female, Iranian, early- to mid-20s, tall, lean, confident, attractive, smart, someone who immediately attracts attention, Zara answers an ad that Tucker and his wife put out for a female, Farsi-speaking Iranian woman to accompany him as his wife to Tehran on what they tell her is a rug-buying expedition. Zara is smart enough to be suspicious of the cover story but she readily goes with Tucker, clearly attracted to him, and interested in what he's really doing there. Apparently a young woman eager for a bit of adventure, Zara seduces Tucker (which Tucker correctly labels a mistake) and then doesn't follow his orders to get on a plane for Istanbul. Zara remains in Tehran and winds up involved in the rescue operation of an Iranian woman activist from prison. Zara doesn't make it to safety with the others, unfortunately, and is taken and tortured by the IRGC, a fact with torments Tucker. However, Zara is not what she seems to be, and is in fact an agent working for the Iranian national intelligence organization...LEAD
