0:14Where's Zawar going?
0:16He's taking the girls to the market for a while.
0:20Why do they need to go to the market?
0:23He's taking an unnecessary risk.
0:26They need a few things,
0:28so he's taking them.
0:30Zawar could have bought them himself.
0:32I did, Dad, but I don't really know what they need.
0:37I thought it would be better if they came along once
0:39and chose what they wanted themselves.
0:40That way there won't be any problems.
0:43What will you tell people if they ask who's staying in our house?
0:54Tell them my niece from Lahore is visiting.
0:56Your niece?
0:58She could be Mom's niece too.
1:00Fine. Tell them she's your mother's niece.
1:02That works for me.
1:03No.
1:04Let’s stick with your niece.
1:06Anything else?
1:07Get her clothes like the ones women wear around here.
1:22And tell everyone she’s here doing research
1:25for her thesis on urban and rural communities.
1:29If you explain it clearly, she’ll understand.
1:43He’s a little slow.
1:45He probably didn’t understand.
1:48But I know you did.
1:52So tell us.
1:55What did you understand?
2:09Yes, I understood.
2:11Uncle is saying that if anyone asks why I’m here,
2:15we’ll say I’m doing research for my thesis.
2:18Is that what you meant, Uncle?
2:22And if anyone asks who I am, we’ll say I’m his niece,
2:25and he’s my uncle. Right?
2:29Not “His uncle,” dear.
2:31Just call us Uncle and Aunt, the way Resham does.
2:38But if you’re really her uncle and aunt,
2:42why do we need to lie?
2:44We can simply say she’s here visiting her uncle.
2:47Why would anyone object?
2:50It would be even better if you didn’t use her real name.
2:54Give her a temporary one.
2:57That’s a great idea, Dad.
2:58You’re absolutely right.
2:59Then you should suggest a name too.
3:02Why me?
3:03You all decide.
3:11May I suggest one?
3:12Of course, dear. Go ahead.
3:16Zebunnisa.
3:18You can call me Zeb for short.
3:31It’s a lovely name, isn’t it?
3:50Come with me.
3:52Mariam, I hope you've warned her that this place,
3:57well, it isn't what she's used to.
4:01It's quite modest, quite plain.
4:08She might not see it that way,
4:11but for us, her house is like a luxury hotel.
4:13I honestly don't understand why everyone bends over backwards
4:17to make me feel like an alien.
4:19I'm human too.
4:21Please, just treat me like everyone else.
4:23All I want is to live life on my own terms,
4:25like any ordinary person.
4:29Why is that so hard for anyone to understand?
4:32That isn't what I meant at all.
4:34Then what did you mean?
4:36Should I throw a tantrum?
4:37Should I turn my nose up and find fault with everything?
4:40Would that put your mind at ease?
4:43Right.
4:46-We're sorry. -We're sorry.
4:49Shall we?
9:34Hey!
9:36What happened, sir?
9:38Who are you staring at?
9:39I’m not looking at anyone.
9:44You think this is funny?
9:45-No, I… -You think this is funny?
9:46You think this is funny?!
9:47Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?
9:51If I ever catch you looking at a woman like that again,
9:54I’ll kill you. Now get out of here.
9:56Go!
9:57Come on, man…
10:36Listen.
10:39Hello.
10:41Why did you fight with those people?
10:47There was a reason.
10:47What reason?
10:50Well…
10:51Yes? What was it?
10:52Come on, tell me the reason.
10:54I’m not telling you.
10:56I think you’re becoming overprotective.
10:59I’ve always been like this.
11:01Fine, then stay that way.
11:02But from today onwards, I’m not going anywhere with you.
11:04Everywhere we go, you end up fighting with someone.
11:06Wherever you go,
11:07I’ll always be by your side like your shadow.
11:13If this keeps happening,
11:15one day someone will record a video
11:16and make it go viral on social media.
11:17Then you’ll keep trying to hide me from everyone.
11:20I did what I felt was right to keep you safe.
11:24And I’ll continue doing it.
11:29Why do you overreact over such small things?
11:31Because it’s my responsibility.
11:33And I know how to respect women,
11:36and how to make others respect them too.
11:39Especially when you’re with me.
11:42If anyone even dares to look at you the wrong way,
11:46I’ll gouge their eyes out.
11:53Come on, we have to go pick up Maryam now.
11:59You never have an answer to anything.
12:00You just rush into fights…
12:28Greetings, Aunt.
12:30Greetings, Resham.
12:32Where have you been?
12:33I haven't seen you these past few days.
12:35Aunt, I was at my other aunt's house.
12:37Remember Shuneila?
12:39Yes, of course.
12:39She's getting married soon,
12:41so I went to help with putting her clothes on display.
12:47Aunt, why is it so quiet today?
12:51Has your guest left?
12:53Of course not, she's still here.
12:55She's gone to the market to buy some clothes.
13:00I see.
13:02Where are Mariam and Zawar?
13:05Don't be silly.
13:06What does she know about the local markets?
13:09She went with them.
13:11Mariam went too,
13:14and Zawar?
13:16Mariam never goes anywhere without me.
13:19Why did she go today?
13:21Use your head.
13:23Would it look right for her to go off alone with Zawar?
13:26I'm the one who told Mariam to go along with Zeb.
13:30Who's Zeb?
13:32Our guest's name is Zeb.
13:36From now on, we're all going to call her Zeb,
13:38and listen,
13:38make sure you do the same, understand?
14:15Here, give those to me.
14:16No, I've got it.
14:31Oh, Resham!
14:33When did you get back?
14:34You went to the market without me?
14:36You've never done that before.
14:38You've made a new friend
14:40and cast the old one aside already.
14:43You're being ridiculous.
14:45It was a last-minute plan that's why I had to go without you.
14:48Ask her yourself.
14:49Do you really think I'd go anywhere without telling you?
14:53I don't need to ask anyone.
14:56Got it?
14:57The audacity!
14:58I'm telling you,
15:00if you so much as think of replacing our friendship,
15:04I'll never speak to you again.
15:05What's gotten into you, Resham?
15:07Have you lost your mind?
15:08You shouldn't say such awful things.
15:10Oh, come on.
15:11You take offense over nothing.
15:13Like I said, it was a sudden plan, just ask her.
15:18Why is your brother in such a foul mood?
15:22He's always like that,
15:25but we've also just had some terrible news.
15:28Brother Yousuf's wife and child have passed away.
15:32The whole house is in pieces.
15:34That's a real tragedy.
15:36We should certainly pay them a visit.
15:42Anyway, I'll go and check the things I bought.
15:51Hey, listen. Tell me the truth.
15:53Is he upset over the news about Brother Yousuf's family,
15:57or is it something else?
15:59He didn't even glance my way,
16:01he just walked straight inside.
16:03It's nothing of the sort.
16:05You just tend to read too much into things.
16:07Let's head in.
16:10Come on, let's go inside.
16:12Come on already.
16:13What will she think? Let's go.
16:18You've probably never shopped in markets like these before, have you?
16:23Yes, you're right about that.
16:25Having spent most of my life in the US,
16:27I've never seen places like this.
16:30It was a first for me.
16:32Then you probably didn't find anything to your taste, did you?
16:36Oh, it's nothing like that.
16:38I actually loved it.
16:40I'd never experienced anything like it, and besides,
16:42if you live the same way forever, life grows dull.
16:45We all need a change now and then.
16:46It was wonderful.
16:48You know, you're a lovely person.
16:51So thoughtful, with such a kind heart.
16:53Did you think I was just making it up?
16:55No.
16:56Anyway, let's move on.
16:57Now show me everything you bought.
16:59You really did enjoy yourself, didn't you?
17:01If I were in your shoes,
17:02I'd have bought every single thing in that market.
17:06You're lovely too,
17:09and you have a real gift for reading people's minds.
17:13I'll go and put these away now.
18:51So, tell me,
18:52how was the shopping trip with Paras?
18:55Did she like our local market?
18:58I mean, of course the poor girl must have felt so out of place.
19:01No, Mom, I didn't get that impression at all.
19:04She genuinely seemed to enjoy herself.
19:06You know,
19:06she was looking at every little thing with such wonder
19:10as if she was looking at it all for the very first time.
19:12But Mom,
19:13seeing the house in mourning really shook her.
19:16She actually broke down in tears.
19:21Yes,
19:22she seems to be a very tender-hearted girl.
19:26Mom,
19:28today was such a dark day.
19:30Do you know what happened?
19:33I know.
19:35It's a complete calamity for Yousuf's family.
19:39Surely, Fatima was far too young to be taken like that.
19:48What is it?
19:49Has something else happened as well?
19:52Dad, you?
19:54Yes, I came for my bedtime medicine.
19:57I thought you two were already asleep.
20:00Well, it took me a little while to finish my night prayers.
20:04I'll go and get your medicine.
20:07Alright.
20:36Is everything okay?
20:37Are you alright?
20:40You tell me.
20:43I'm not following.
20:46Tell me the truth, why did you pick a fight with those guys?
20:51I'm asking you. Tell me.
20:54You shouldn't have come to my room at this hour.
20:58I'll go.
20:59Just answer my questions, and I'll be on my way.
21:06Those men looked suspicious to me.
21:07Why?
21:11They kept staring at you.
21:13So?
21:15I got the feeling they were trying to place you.
21:20Am I some great celebrity?
21:23You aren't, but your story is all over the media.
21:28It's on the news.
21:29But there's no bounty on my head, is there?
21:31It's not as though suspicious men are going to track me down
21:34and call Wahab or Uncle to tell them
21:37Miss Paras is at Zawar's house,
21:39so that they can come
21:40and take me and collect ten million rupees as a reward.
21:42Is that it?
21:45You really shouldn't have come into my room right now.
21:51What are you trying to make me say?
22:00Only that you can no longer stand anyone else laying eyes on me.
22:08Stop looking away from me.
22:09Look at me and talk.
22:11Otherwise, I'll assume that...
22:12What will you assume?
22:16That you simply can't bear for anyone else to look at me anymore.
22:23Yes, I can't bear it.
22:27I can't bear anyone looking at you but me.
22:37Could it be that you...
22:49I only came here to tell you
22:51to stop fighting shadows for my sake.
22:54No one here knows me,
22:56and my life isn't in any danger.
22:59If you keep picking fights with every man who walks past me,
23:02life will become impossible.
23:04It'll only invite more trouble.
23:10Think less about me
23:13and more about the people here.
23:15There isn't a single hospital in this place.
23:17Today, a mother and her child lost their lives.
23:21If a hospital isn't built,
23:22God knows how many more women will die here.
23:26Instead of dwelling on me,
23:27you could at least try to build a hospital, couldn't you?
23:30It's so easy for you to say.
23:33But for people like us,
23:35even thinking about it is out of reach.
23:40If it were up to me, I swear,
23:44it would have been done long ago.
23:46But my hands are tied.
25:54I took an advance of five million rupees from my company for your treatment.
26:02Then a new scheme was introduced at the hospital.
26:09Remember those stories you used to tell us as children,
26:13about how a good deed is always met with a helping hand from above?
26:17That's exactly what happened with me.
26:27What job do you have, exactly?
26:29Who do you work for?
26:31What is it you do?
26:32No one told me the truth before.
26:35Dad, I work at a bank.
26:39Don't lie to me.
26:44It doesn't matter where I work, Dad.
26:47Why are you wearing yourself out over such things?
28:10Where is your mother?
28:23I'm talking to you.
28:36Don't talk to me.
28:39Don't ever say my name, either.
28:42Because from this moment on,
28:44you and I are nothing to each other.
28:47Hey, please.
28:48Aftab, my son,
28:52how can you behave with your father like this?
28:57Uncle didn't even invite you to Paras's funeral,
29:03yet you're questioning the way I'm behaving?
29:12So that's it?
29:14You're doubting your own father now, just like your uncle does?
29:19Doubt?
29:24Neither he nor I have any doubt about this.
29:29In fact,
29:32he's certain, and so am I.
29:38Aftab!
29:39Why, Dad?
29:42I could never have imagined
29:45you'd sink this low in your thirst for revenge.
29:49When you couldn't stop Paras and me from getting engaged...
29:52Shut up.
29:53Just shut up!
29:55I had nothing to do with it.
29:56This was all Wahab's doing!
30:01You're still to blame,
30:04because you were his accomplice.
30:09That makes you every bit as guilty as he is.
30:13That's a lie!
30:15It's all a lie.
30:19I didn't help anyone.
30:21Son, please, you have to believe me.
30:23I won't believe you.
30:27Not anymore, Dad.
30:31Save your explanations for the police.
30:37Did Behzad file a report with the police?
30:45If he were as petty as you,
30:49he'd have done it long ago.
30:52Even though the IG is a close friend of his,
30:53and despite all the pressure,
30:56he hasn't filed a single complaint against you.
30:59But Dad,
31:01the police will run their own investigation regardless.
31:06Why would he file a report?
31:07Since I haven't done anything, why would he?
31:11You can tell your side of the story to the police.
31:17Why are you putting on this act in front of me?
31:19Why?
31:21Your acting is pitiful.
31:23Just stop it. Please.
31:26Look, son,
31:27why do you keep holding the police over my head?
31:32-I told you, I did nothing. -Oh, didn't you?
31:35Didn't you help Wahab Durrani abduct and murder Paras?
31:41I know you did.
31:43Don't lie to me, Dad.
31:45I know everything.
31:46Lower your voice.
31:48If someone overhears,
31:49they'll actually believe I murdered her.
31:52I'm not afraid of anyone anymore,
31:55nor am I frightened.
31:58Because I know for a fact that you are Paras's murderer.
32:04You murdered her.
32:07You did.
32:09Besides, I don't need any proof.
32:11I just know it.
32:15You're a murderer.
32:17-No, son. -My father is a murderer.
32:21My father is a murderer.
32:22Please, son, just...
32:24Son, I...
32:25Keep your hands to yourself.
32:26What did I tell you?
32:28We are done.
32:29But...
32:36Since you showed no regard for the bonds of this family,
32:41never expect anything from me again.
32:47From this day forward,
32:52I stand with Uncle.
32:57Son!
32:59Aftab, son!
33:24We should’ve taken Resham with us too.
33:26She was really upset last time because we didn’t take her along.
33:30Resham has gone to her aunt’s place for a wedding.
33:32That’s why we left Maryam there.
33:35Besides, if Resham had found out the two of us were together,
33:39she would’ve shot us on the spot.
33:44I seriously don’t understand why she’s so possessive.
33:47Because she loves her.
33:51Not me, Maryam.
33:54The truth is, she doesn’t have a sister,
33:56so she’s a little possessive about Maryam.
33:59Well, Maryam doesn’t have a sister either.
34:01But Maryam doesn’t behave like her.
34:03Picking fights with people over every little thing, getting upset so easily…
34:09We’ve grown up together since childhood.
34:11We studied in the same class, went to the same school,
34:14and she’s been coming to our house since she was little.
34:16She’s very attached to our family.
34:27This place is so beautiful.
34:28I really wanted to come here.
34:30I’m loving it so much.
34:33If I had my phone with me, I would’ve captured all of this
34:36and kept it with me.
34:50Wow.
35:06Send me the pictures once you get home.
35:31See those trees?
35:36From there all the way to there,
35:38all of that land belongs to us.
35:40In fact,
35:42we owned even more beyond that.
35:44Really?
35:44Nice.
35:45Yeah…
35:47I had to sell it for my job.
35:50For your job?
35:54Joining the police was my passion.
35:57I couldn’t get selected on merit.
36:00So, to fulfil my dream,
36:03my father sold all the land he had earned through years of hard work.
36:08Besides, he was never in favour of me joining the police.
36:12Why?
36:13He was a police officer himself, wasn’t he?
36:14Exactly.
36:16Then you should’ve asked your dad.
36:18He would’ve arranged it for you.
36:20It’s actually a good thing it happened this way.
36:23Why?
36:25Otherwise, how would I have ended up with you?
36:29…Nothing.
36:32Let me just go a little further and have a look around.
