0:41Those people were ruthless, weren't they?
0:45You didn't even fight back.
0:47You could've at least broken a couple of their legs.
0:52Fine.
0:53Next time I see them,
0:55I'll break their legs,
0:57and I'll be sure to let them know that
0:58Resham told me to do so.
1:07I'll just go wash the teacups
1:10so we can all have some tea together.
1:27You're acting surprisingly bashful for a man.
1:31Just because I'm a man, am I supposed to have no shame?
1:38Can't you ever speak to me sweetly?
1:42How else should I speak?
1:44Zawar,
1:45talk to me like you talk to other girls,
1:47or how a man speaks to his fiancée.
1:54I mean,
1:56with a little more romance.
2:01Have you lost your mind?
2:04I'm in a hospital bed!
2:05Look at the state I'm in.
2:07Do you really expect me to feel romantic right now?
2:10Ugh, forget about it.
2:17That wasn't what I meant.
2:19Then what did you mean?
2:21Nothing.
2:29Look, just tell Dad not to stay the night with you
2:36because
2:38Mariam and I will be staying instead.
2:43What's your mutual friend's name?
2:47What was it again?
2:49Shamim?
2:50Shamim Ara.
2:52Why don't you invite her too?
2:54Then the three of you can camp out here
2:58and have a little party.
2:58Sounds good?
3:02You see an air-conditioned room
3:05and think it's time for a holiday.
3:12You think I'm looking for a holiday?
3:14Sure sounds like it.
3:34Tell me the truth.
3:38You're the one behind the attack on Zawar, aren't you?
3:42Of course not.
3:44I could never do such a thing.
3:46I don't believe a word you say.
3:48You're lying.
3:50You threatened him that day.
3:54I did, but it was just out of anger.
3:57What do you mean, just out of anger?
3:59Is that supposed to be no big deal?
4:01I can't wrap my head around this.
4:02What are you, father and son, cooking up?
4:05Shaheen, please.
4:06Don't drag me into this.
4:09Why shouldn't I?
4:11You're either behind all his misadventures,
4:14or you’re the one advising him.
4:16I'm asking you for the last time, just tell me the truth.
4:19-If Brother... -Mom, I swear on your life!
4:22That's not what happened.
4:24I admit I threatened him,
4:25but I didn't actually do anything to him.
4:29Nothing at all.
4:29I'm warning you one last time, Aftab.
4:33Don't let your emotions drive you to something
4:36that prevents us from ever looking Brother in the eye again.
4:40Don't let us spend the rest of our lives
4:41hanging our heads in shame before him.
4:45Mark my words.
4:47If my brother turns against us,
4:50we won't just be driven out of this city,
4:52we won't find a place to live anywhere in this country.
4:55We won't have anywhere left to go.
5:06What is wrong with her?
5:08Why won't you say something?
5:12Aftab, tell me one thing.
5:15Is the oath you just swore on your mother's life really true?
5:22Dad, not you too!
5:26Don't you two trust me?
5:29When I tell you I haven't done any such thing, I mean it.
5:32If I had,
5:35I wouldn't have hidden it from you.
5:37I would've told you myself.
5:40But unfortunately, nobody trusts me here.
5:44If only it were true.
5:48Enough with the theatrics.
5:51Whatever it is, just get it over with.
6:11So, these are his men?
6:13No, sir.
6:16These three are just random punks.
6:18They're just friends. They don't work for him.
6:22Look at this guy and his bike.
6:28This bike belongs to the one in the middle,
6:31wearing khaki trousers and a black shirt.
6:34And bought this bike on installments three years ago.
6:38Now, look at this.
6:41This is a popular tea stall in Ancholi
6:44that stays open round the clock.
6:47This footage is from six days ago,
6:50exactly thirty-six hours before the attack on Zawar.
6:54This man came to this stall specifically to meet this guy.
6:59They talked for fifteen minutes.
7:01This man is Wahab's right-hand man.
7:05He was also at the hotel that day.
7:16What possible grudge could Wahab have against Zawar, Sikandar?
7:21Sir, Zawar fractured his man's hand while working on his security detail.
7:30So, Wahab has finally exacted his revenge after all this time.
7:36He timed it to deflect suspicion.
7:37He'd already managed to get Zawar fired.
7:40He's a shrewd operator.
7:43So, is his score settled now?
7:50It seems Wahab isn't the type to stop at an eye for an eye.
7:59His grudge could run far deeper, sir.
8:03What do you mean?
8:03I mean, Zawar fractured his man's hand because of you.
8:08That day at the hotel, Miss Paras was with you as well.
8:13That means, Sikandar,
8:16if anyone else had been at the hotel that day besides me,
8:21he would've been satisfied with just getting him fired.
8:27Yes, sir.
8:29I believe that just as you mistook Zawar for his man,
8:33Wahab likely mistook him for yours.
8:39Zawar is caught in the crossfire for no fault of his own, Sikandar.
8:42No, sir.
8:43He put up one hell of a fight.
8:45Zawar took on all three of those boys single-handedly.
8:50Aijaz was exactly like that.
8:54They share the same blood.
8:57That's why I trust his courage implicitly.
9:04But the problem is, Sikandar,
9:08Paras is still not out of harm's way.
9:17This situation with Zawar might blow back on her too.
9:35Now I must protect Zawar as well.
9:42The attack on Zawar was a shot across the bow, Sikandar.
9:53Arrange a meeting for me with those three boys.
9:57Yes, sir.
10:11Aunt Mahrukh,
10:13Zawar was shot.
10:15Who were they?
10:17Dad will find out.
10:20You mean the attack happened because of you?
10:25I don't know.
10:26Maybe it's a personal matter.
10:28Well, checking on him is the decent thing to do regardless.
10:31Did you go to see him?
10:34No.
10:35You didn't even call?
10:36Not at all.
10:40I didn't expect this from you, Paras.
10:43Regardless of his role,
10:45your shared humanity connects you.
10:46Your dad has always prioritized the welfare of his employees,
10:52and besides, visiting the sick is a virtuous act.
10:56Fine, Aunt. I'll go tomorrow.
10:58Not tomorrow. You're going right now.
11:20Wow, I can't believe this. What a pleasant surprise.
11:24Paras, you actually called me.
11:26This feels wonderful.
11:29Is this the first time I've called?
11:32No, it's not the first time.
11:36You call,
11:37but only about once or twice a year.
11:40I'm always the one reaching out.
11:43Oh, please.
11:45Don't keep a scorecard.
11:46That's just petty.
11:47Alright, so tell me.
11:50What made you think of me?
11:53Zawar isn't coming.
11:56You did say you'd take me wherever I needed to go.
12:00I heard your bodyguard got shot.
12:06I see.
12:09So it's just a favor, then.
12:13If Dad hadn't insisted, I still wouldn't have called.
12:16Alright, where do you need to go?
12:20Somewhere.
12:21Come over, and I'll tell you.
12:23We'll take Dad's armored car.
12:25I've got a car too.
12:27Don't worry.
12:29I'll be there in thirty minutes.
12:32See you then, alright?
12:33Okay, bye.
12:47Now, tell me where we're headed.
12:49Turn left or right? Where to?
12:53To the hospital.
12:56The hospital?
13:00To see Zawar?
13:02Yeah.
13:09Look, please don't be upset.
13:12This is my only chance.
13:13We're going to tell Zawar to value his life
13:15and quit this job for God's sake.
13:17Dad won't listen to me and refuses to let him go,
13:21and this is my chance.
13:22Please, Aftab, help me.
13:23We'll convince him to resign on his own.
13:26Please.
13:26I don't want any bodyguard in my life.
13:33Please?
13:35Alright.
13:37That's one way to be rid of him.
13:52Look how swollen your hand has gotten.
14:01What's the point of this?
14:02The nurse can also do this, you know.
14:04Why?
14:05Is there a problem with me doing it?
14:08They're complete strangers to you.
14:12Don't you understand?
14:16Then how closely are you related to me?
14:19That's for you to decide.
14:21It's all about how you look at it.
14:25Besides, it's been an hour since you called the nurse.
14:28If she was coming, she'd have been here by now.
14:34Seems like she's finally here.
14:36Hello.
14:49Who are you here to see?
14:54Him.
15:08Why the cold shoulder?
15:10Are people not allowed to visit you? Or is it just me?
15:18You're welcome here.
15:25How are you feeling?
15:31I'm better.
15:35Who were they?
15:38Not sure.
15:39They were probably just muggers.
15:46Can we talk in private for a moment?
15:57Come with me.
16:06Let's go.
16:07Come with me.
16:09Who was she?
16:13She's my cousin.
16:15She's cute,
16:16and quite possessive of you.
16:22Did you come here to say something?
16:27Yes, we need to talk.
16:32Firstly, I came to check on you.
16:36I'm truly sorry for what happened,
16:40and you didn't even retaliate?
16:48The second thing?
16:54Well, I want you to quit this job.
17:04I don't know why you're putting yourself through this,
17:06but I know it's all because of me.
17:10I've no idea who those people were,
17:11whether they were your enemies, mine,
17:14or if it was Wahab Durrani's men.
17:17All I know is that it's all my fault.
17:20You're in the line of fire because of me.
17:22Dad told me you don't even belong to this city,
17:24so you wouldn't have any enemies of your own.
17:30So please,
17:31don't risk your life on my account.
17:34You have a family and responsibilities.
17:37Right?
17:46Your life matters,
17:48and it's hanging in the balance because of me.
17:51Granted, your job is inherently dangerous,
17:55but still,
17:58I just want you to quit.
18:01You shouldn't have to take a bullet for me.
18:10After all, you have your own loved ones to think about.
18:12Why put your neck on the line for someone you barely know?
18:25Take my friendly advice and walk away from this job.
18:29Thank you so much for the advice.
18:32Are you even listening?
18:33I'm serious, Zawar.
18:35Leave this job.
18:39Go on, tell me.
18:40Tell me, what's compelling you to stay?
18:44Who are you here with?
18:47Your life is in danger, Zawar.
18:51I'm used to living on the edge.
18:52You might be.
18:54But this isn't a police job
18:56where you'd fall in the line of duty and be hailed as a martyr,
18:58draped in a flag and awarded a medal for valor.
19:02You'll die a pointless death here, Zawar.
19:04Why won't you understand?
19:06You have a family, responsibilities, everything.
19:07You have to think about them.
19:09What's tethering you to this job?
19:12You're going to gain nothing from it.
19:15I don't need any glory.
19:17Is this job that important?
19:24It's getting late.
19:26Mr. Behzad wouldn't like you being out this late.
19:28Go home now.
22:38Hello.
22:39Yes, Aftab? Where are you?
22:41Uncle, Paras is with me.
22:44Yes, she told me before leaving.
22:48What?
22:51You mean Paras told you she was coming to see Zawar?
23:00To the hospital to see Zawar?
23:03Oh.
23:05So you didn't know she went to see Zawar?
23:11I thought she came with your permission.
23:15Yes, she did mention it.
23:19I was tied up in a meeting,
23:22so I didn't catch the details of what she said.
23:25Anyway,
23:27why did you call?
23:30Nothing much,
23:32I just wanted to let you know
23:34that Paras and I are heading out for dinner afterward,
23:39so we might be a bit late.
23:41Be careful.
23:43Make sure to keep the guards with you.
23:44Yes,
23:46don't worry. Goodbye.
24:05You all traveled such a long way just to see me.
24:11It's been a whole week,
24:13and Zawar hasn't even stopped by.
24:17It’s not work that’s keeping him from seeing you.
24:25I know.
24:30He's upset with me.
24:33Why on earth would you say that?
24:34You're the one who just said he was swamped with work.
24:38Don't think ill of him for no reason.
24:41Well, he is clearly upset with me.
24:44It's been a full week,
24:47and a son hasn't even visited his father.
24:54Actually, it's not the poor guy's fault, either.
24:59He's buried in work,
25:01but he calls every single day to check in on you.
25:06Phone calls?
25:08Phone calls aren't enough to settle my nerves.
25:12I won't be at peace until I see him with my own eyes.
25:18All sorts of terrible thoughts keep invading my mind.
25:21You have a point, but his job is very demanding.
25:26Yes, Brother Aijaz.
25:27We haven't even seen Zawar ourselves yet.
25:31Where exactly did he land this job?
25:33No one bothered to fill me in.
25:35He mentioned it was at a private company.
25:39Brother Aijaz, he's landed a wonderful position.
25:42I genuinely hope he flourishes there.
25:48Amen.
25:51But what kind of work is he doing?
25:54Doesn't he ever come home at night?
25:56He does, but the poor thing is always so spent.
26:03He's out cold the moment his head hits the pillow.
26:09So, what exactly does he do there?
26:11It's at a reputable import-export company.
26:18He's working in their finance department.
26:24This hospital seems incredibly expensive, Abdul.
26:28I've been here for so many days.
26:30Between the medicines, the doctor's fees,
26:34and the cost of the surgery,
26:36I hope Zawar hasn't landed himself in financial debt on my account.
26:40I could never bear that.
26:42That's a son's duty.
26:44He isn't doing you any favors.
26:47Why are you so worried?
26:51Please, try to relax.
26:54Zawar has already handled all the hospital expenses
26:58through an advance from the company.
27:01He's even managed to arrange five million in advance for your liver transplant.
27:12He just started this job,
27:14and he's already taken out such a huge advance?
27:21This isn't right.
27:25The company actually lent it to him?
27:30You're hiding something from me, aren't you?
27:39Tell me the absolute truth.
27:41Where exactly is Zawar working?
27:45What's gotten into you?
27:47Ask us to swear on anything sacred.
27:51No one is keeping a thing from you, and no one's lying.
27:54I'm telling you the truth.
27:59Doesn't he even get Sundays off?
28:02Look, he's just started his job.
28:06He even took an advance for your sake.
28:08The poor boy is working himself to the bone,
28:10yet you're doubting him.
28:32Did he agree?
28:35I guess.
28:38Alright, so where should we go for dinner?
28:43You decide.
28:44I'll take you wherever you want.
28:46Come on.
28:48Not tonight. Let's just go home.
28:52Paras, you were the one who suggested going out for dinner after this.
28:56I know, but it's late already.
28:58Dad will be upset. Let's just go home.
29:02It won't take that long, Paras. There's a place right nearby.
29:04It's fantastic, you'll love it.
29:07Aftab, some other time. Let's just go home now.
29:14You only came along just to see Zawar, didn't you?
29:19I knew it.
29:22You couldn't get permission to leave the house, right?
29:24That's the reason.
29:28You figured you'd just dangle dinner as bait so you could tag along.
29:33Very clever.
29:35You just used me. That's it.
29:37Shut up. Just shut up.
29:39How dare you talk to me like that?
29:41Such a disgusting insinuation that I would use you.
29:44Drop me home right now. Just take me home.
29:46Paras, relax.
29:48I was just...
29:50I'm sorry.
29:52Seriously, I really am.
29:59I’m sorry, Paras.
30:03I don't want your apology. Just take me home.
30:13Brother,
30:16Paras's bodyguard couldn't even protect himself.
30:20I find the whole thing to be a complete joke.
30:22Nadeem, an incident like this can happen to anyone at any given moment.
30:29That's true, Brother, you're right,
30:32but this incident has made one thing abundantly clear.
30:35Zawar failed to protect our Paras.
30:41Look at those kidnappers the other day.
30:46We still don't know if that was a mere coincidence or just an elaborate act.
30:53Look, Nadeem.
30:56You can parry an enemy who strikes from the front,
31:05but if he ambushes you from the shadows and succeeds,
31:10it doesn't mean the one who fell is weak.
31:21As for Zawar,
31:25he's fearless, valiant, and razor-sharp.
31:31I trust him implicitly.
31:35Brother,
31:37placing this much trust in someone after so short a time?
31:43You've never trusted us that deeply.
31:47What's gotten into you, Nadeem?
31:50How can you speak about Brother like that?
31:53Has my brother ever favored anyone else over you before?
31:59My brother knows exactly how to respect family.
32:06No, Shaheen, that's not what I meant.
32:10You're just being fiercely protective of Brother.
32:14It's understandable, and you should be.
32:16I'm not saying that he is incapable of defense, Brother, because he is.
32:21But we can't dictate when the enemy strikes,
32:26whether it's in the dead of night, when he's on his own,
32:29or even if they'll come at him head-on.
32:32They could strike at any moment,
32:35and I'm only raising this for Paras's safety, Brother.
32:43Excuse me.
32:47Hello.
32:48Yes?
32:53Brother, please don’t take Nadeem’s words to heart.
32:58I’m so sorry.
33:01Sometimes he just forgets he needs to think twice before he speaks,
33:07and I’m left feeling embarrassed because of him.
33:12Don’t trouble yourself over it.
33:14Honestly, Brother, what’s really troubling me is the thought that,
33:19God forbid, what if our Paras had been with him at that time?
33:25But I’m thinking about what I need to do next.
33:33That’s what’s actually troubling me.
33:38She doesn't want to leave,
33:41and I don't want her staying here.
33:45At this point, there's only one solution left.
33:48Greetings.
33:52Greetings, dear.
33:55Oh, my sweetheart. How are you?
33:58I'm fine. How are you?
33:59You've come after such a long time!
34:01Even after all these days, I'm the one who had to make the trip.
34:04You don't miss me at all, do you?
34:06If you did, you would've come over and stayed with your aunt.
34:09I have no idea what keeps you so preoccupied.
34:10I'll come stay with you. I really will.
34:20Dad.
34:21I won't take no for an answer.
34:23You have to talk to Uncle about my marriage to Paras today.
34:29If you won't, then I will.
34:34Son, what's the matter? Is everything okay?
34:39Talk to him before it's too late
34:43and Paras slips through our fingers.
34:47You need to talk to him.
34:50Calm down.
34:52Ever since she arrived in Pakistan,
34:54I've been pushing for the same thing.
34:56It's your mother who's been dragging her feet.
35:00Forget Mom.
35:02You talk to him.
35:04Now.
35:06Alright, just relax.
35:09Everything will be fine. I'll talk to him, okay?
35:21-Greetings. -Greetings.
35:22How is Zawar doing?
35:25He's much better now. He's fine.
35:30Please, sit down.
35:32Greetings.
35:33Greetings.
35:38Anyway, I'm going to change now, okay, Dad?
35:40-Sure, sweetheart. -I'll be right back, Aunt.
35:55Brother, I think Paras walked away upset.
36:01I was only raising concerns about her safety.
36:04Besides, you saw it for yourself, hiring a bodyguard made no difference.
36:12Do you have a solution for this, Nadeem?
36:27Send her out of Pakistan, Brother.
36:31Not alone, though.
36:33Get her married first.
36:43We need someone who’ll value her life more than his own.
36:48Mahrukh won’t get entangled in these complications.
36:50Her husband will go to any length to protect her.
36:55I don’t understand.
36:57A marriage so soon?
37:01Oh, so that’s what troubles you, Brother?
37:04You’re worried about how this will happen so quickly
37:05and where the groom will come from.
37:07Isn’t that right?
37:10Nadeem, the wedding arrangements aren’t the problem.
37:12That can be sorted in two days.
37:15It’s not a big deal.
37:16Then we can have a groom ready in two minutes, Brother.
37:20Our Aftab is right here.
37:30That’s right. Brother.
37:35To be honest,
37:37I’ve always wished for Paras to become my daughter-in-law.
37:47When Sister-in-law Saleha was alive,
37:50I expressed this wish to her.
37:53She had no objections, either.
37:56We just need you to say yes now.
38:04Brother, he’s your own flesh and blood.
38:07You know him inside out.
38:09He knows your friends and your enemies.
38:18I don’t believe there’s a better match for our girl than Aftab.
38:29You’re right, Nadeem,
38:33but I spoke with Paras about this.
38:37She doesn’t want to get married right now.
