 I had seen Mr. Ehsan before. He came one night and said, I'm in trouble. He seemed drunk or was playing the part of a drunk, Rezaei says. Rezaei and Ehsan smoked cigarettes and walked. It didn't take long for Ehsan to offer to take Rezaei abroad. Rezaei said it freaked him out. Then I said, I left my house key in a restaurant. I have to go back and get it.
