O Mosbat
A wealthy man named Aziz Khan (who has decided to buy half of Tehran) becomes the victim of an accident orchestrated by his son-in-law Houshi. He falls from the top of one of his many high-rise buildings under construction and is taken to the hospital. At the hospital, a police officer named Majid donates blood to Aziz Khan after hearing a hospital announcement requesting blood. As a result, a telepathic connection forms between Aziz Khan’s body and Majid’s body—meaning whatever happens to Majid also happens to Aziz Khan. This becomes the beginning of Aziz Khan’s misfortunes. Since Majid is a police officer who is constantly involved in fights with thugs and criminals and is frequently exposed to danger, Aziz Khan, through various schemes, tries to personally employ Majid in order to protect his life—and consequently his own.
