Abdullah (2015) - full transcript
Growing up in a very conservative family where many things are 'haram', Abdullah struggles over the years to hide his love for music.
Sir, SP Zaman is here to meet you.
Yes, what is the issue?
Abdullah has been transferred
to judicial custody.
I wish to investigate him in prison.
Why do you want to do that?
He is ready to record his statement.
The case is very important, sir.
The media is relentlessly
following up on it
and trying to
prove these terrorists innocent.
I don't want to take any risk.
Okay.
You will be given the
permission by tomorrow.
I have another request, sir.
Yes, tell me.
I suggest that we confine Abdullah
under foolproof security
and strict vigilance.
He should not be allowed
to meet his family
until the questioning is over.
He should be kept under
solitary confinement.
I understand your concern.
We will ensure that special arrangements
are made for the prisoner.
Both of you will assist SP Zaman
starting today.
-Ali?
-Yes.
This is Mirza Khan. DSP Special Branch.
Mirza Khan, this is Mr. Ali.
ASP Crime Branch.
I hope your team will perform efficiently.
For how long have you
been in this service?
I joined six months ago
after the completion of my training.
Are you a junior officer?
I have been serving for 20 years.
I was appointed as an ASI
when the IG was an ASP.
I hope that by the time
I am promoted as the IG...
you will not continue to be the DSP.
The file gives an incomplete account
of the story.
Only Abdullah can give us a clear picture.
Sir, you don't need to worry.
There are many Pakistanis who
are gunned down on the borders
of Iran, Turkey and Greek
by the forces, in a similar way.
Although, nothing is mentioned about it.
And here, the media is creating a fuss.
You are right, Mirza.
Sir, are you sure that
they are terrorists?
Some of the facts are missing.
As soon as I get hold of them,
I will forward my report
to the higher authorities.
Please arrange my meeting
with Abdullah, immediately.
We know of each other by now.
This is my third year
at the Special Branch.
This is a really tough job, Abdullah.
I'm far away from my family.
Well... what about your family?
What about your son Gullalai?
Has he got a job yet?
Or, is he still jobless?
Sir.
How do you know about my elder son?
Not only about your son...
I'm aware about your entire family.
Your daughter Gullgotti
got married and left for Swat.
You and your wife visited her
when her son had a bout of Hepatitis.
Seventeen installments of the truck
are yet to be paid.
Five months to go before you can get the
amount from the committee scheme draw
which is worth 2500 rupees a month.
You have a debt of 1300 rupees
with a general store.
It's strange, sir.
You know everything about me.
But, why don't you have the facts
regarding my case?
Well, that's true.
This is what all policemen do.
We are aware about every nook and corner
of the world
except what we are looking for.
I mentioned some facts about your life
which signify that...
you were in dire need of money
at that time.
A poor man has only one craving, sir.
Money.
How can I deny it, Abdullah?
That the need for money may have
convinced you to help the terrorists.
This money could be from
some other sources too.
Sir, I am a poor laborer.
I earn by selling my skill
and not my faith.
Let's see. Let time decide.
I just came to introduce myself.
We will meet again.
But certainly, our next meeting...
will not be confined to mere introduction.
Be ready.
Get more information
about this driver's whereabouts.
Try and get some information
from the place he resides.
If necessary, arrest and
interrogate some people.
-I need some proof.
-Okay, sir.
I need solid and accurate proof
against this driver.
Hello, constable!
Constable!
Please listen to me.
What is it?
Where is my friend, Shinkai, the cleaner?
Where is he?
He is having a hard time in prison.
He has not even been transferred
to judicial custody.
Please don't torture me.
I have not committed any crime.
You will have to record the statement.
He has not even spent 48 hours here
bearing this torture.
If he is here for another day,
he may also admit to Lady Diana's murder.
He is not a novice, sir!
He will gradually surrender himself.
Please make a note of this.
Until Abdullah's statement
is recorded in front of the tribunal
we'll keep both of them
under strict vigilance.
Indeed, sir!
But I have heard that SP Zaman
is taking a keen interest in this case.
He could be a hurdle.
Please come in, Mirza! Have a seat.
What's new?
Sir, this is the master file
of those foreigners.
You might find some relevant details
in here.
Okay, I will go through it.
Well... what about the hard disk
that was found from their belongings?
That has been sent to the record room.
I will inform you
as soon as I receive an update.
Okay, thank you.
Stop!
Both of us have to change our attire
before we reach the main road.
Just wait here.
We need a place where we can get changed.
Let's go!
Come on!
Hurry up.
SP Zaman... has called you.
Yes, yes!
You've mentioned this time and again.
And I have heard it so many times.
I know that you picked him up
from Kuchlak road.
But this is not the answer to my question.
My question is...
why did you pick them up
without knowing anything about them?
Why did they accompany you
if they were strangers?
Sir. It was just bad luck.
I picked them up for some money.
That's it.
Abdullah!
Every day there are thousands of vehicles
that pass by the highway.
Why did they get into your truck?
What was your intention while passing by
the Kharotabad police station?
What was your plan?
Were the Tajiks planning an attack
with bombs on their bodies?
-Tell me!
-I never even met them before.
Then why is your name written
on that hard disk?
I don't really know.
I am not an accomplice
to any of his intentions.
Sir, he'll not admit it.
Hand him over to me, for five minutes.
Okay, Abdullah!
I'm not hasty.
You have ample amount of time to think.
Relax for now.
After that, a long journey
is waiting for you.
What are you thinking?
Have your tea, it's getting cold.
I don't want it, constable.
But, thank you very much.
I am Rahim Bakhsh.
Head constable. Number 713.
If you need something, just tell me.
You are always lost in thought.
Constable,
when will my family come to meet me?
I will let you know.
Do you have anyone who will come here?
I have a son named Gullalai.
If he will come to meet me,
his mother will be happy.
Alas, my fate!
Today seems to be an unlucky day.
What happened? Is everything okay?
It seems like your mother
has reprimanded you.
Dear friend, why don't you
accompany your father as a cleaner?
You'll earn some money, at least.
Are you in your senses?
Dare you give me your advice again.
-You've spoiled my mood.
-My friend, listen to me.
Why are you upset?
-He is short-tempered.
-Yes.
Ignore him!
Mother!
Mother, I'm hungry.
Get me something to eat.
For how long will you rely on your
father's income, Gullalai Khan?
Why don't you setup a business,
if you can't share his burden?
Your father has advised you to
accompany him so many times.
For God's sake, don't repeat all that.
I've already told you that I don't
want be a cleaner or a laborer.
Look at you!
Your father is in prison
and you are always gambling.
This is why I tell you to
get me married to Zarmina.
But no one pays heed to my words.
Look at this.
It's a special something for you.
Let me help you wear it.
Give it to me.
I'll do it on my own.
Why?
Why can't I help you wear it?
No... Give it to me.
It's very pretty.
Isn't it?
Sir.
Yes?
Sir... let me drive the truck today.
Please give me the keys.
I really wish to drive it.
Quiet!
I thought you were about to say
something important.
You've spoiled my mood.
I never thought you could be a driver.
Am I supposed to fly an airplane?
I'll drive this truck. Give me a chance.
You need to get wiser
before you think of driving the vehicle.
You've spoiled my mood.
Go and take your seat.
You are such a fool!
-I want to drive the truck.
-You don't know how to drive.
Come on!
-This is not fair.
-I'll decide what's fair.
Greetings, constable!
Where are you coming from
and where are you headed to?
What are you carrying in the vehicle?
Constable!
We are carrying a generator
towards the border.
You need to have dowry
to be able to get married.
And you need money for that.
But we're in a condition...
where we don't have enough.
Hey, Gullalai!
Your father is a successful transporter.
Is he unable to find a job for you?
What are you saying?
Some installments for the truck
are yet to be paid.
He can plan my wedding once he is free
from the anxieties of his silly ventures.
He just wants to hurl his difficulties
on me by making me the cleaner.
Why should your fiancé bear the brunt?
Her elder brother is also very fussy.
Isn't he your paternal cousin?
That is the issue.
On one hand, my father is not cooperative
and on the other hand,
my to-be brother-in-law
wants to get his sister married
to someone else.
Listen to me, Mother.
Uncle Abdullah is a gentleman.
But his son Gullalai...
is a gambler and a cock-fighter.
I will never get my sister married to him.
Gullalai is naive.
I am confident that
Brother Abdullah will get him a job.
That's impossible.
He has borrowed money from half the bazaar
under his father's name
and drowned all the money
in gambling and cock-fighting.
No more arguments.
I have decided to clarify it
with Uncle Abdullah
that it is difficult to let
this wedding take place.
Shinkai.
Yes, master.
-Get the vehicle ready in the morning.
-Okay.
And stop oscillating the vehicle
back and forth.
You always do that for no good reason.
Master, that's not true.
Your training has helped me polish
my driving skills.
You can test my skills.
Just give me a chance
to drive on the highway.
This is what I desire the most in my life.
I swear by the Almighty God.
I have observed your driving skills.
You are deeply mistaken, my dear.
You cannot drive.
Stop talking and clean the vehicle.
Come on.
Fool!
I am tired of being a cleaner.
When will I drive the vehicle?
The day isn't far,
when I will drive this very vehicle
on the highway
and I will prove my skills.
Where is Gullalai?
Where else could he be?
He must be sitting
with his useless friends.
Or he must be engrossed
in cock-fighting.
May God instill some sense into him.
Why don't you talk to him?
I am tired of doing that.
I have repeatedly told you
to take him along with you to work.
If it is difficult, then let him
have a vehicle on wages.
It's not easy to have a vehicle on wages.
It is already very hard to pay
the installments for this vehicle.
Alas! He is such a hapless person!
Marriage is not a game.
How can we let our sister
marry a jobless person?
Zarmina is not just
your sister, Sher Khan.
She is like my daughter.
Until Gullalai finds a
job and gets settled
I won't be proposing the alliance.
For how long will this go on?
It is not quite desirable to have
an unmarried sister at home.
It's quite difficult, actually.
I cannot wait anymore.
You are absolutely right, Sher Khan.
I won't hurl you into more complications.
Just give me an extension
of another month.
If Gullalai gets convinced
to be a laborer with me on my vehicle
then all will be settled.
If not, you will be free to take any step.
Goodbye.
When are you going to stop wandering?
When will you reform your ways?
What do you expect, Father?
I will definitely work when I get a job.
You have not even cleared
your primary level.
And you are dreaming
of becoming a collector?
Please get into the same profession
which was conceived
by your father and forefathers.
Labor!
Please make arrangements
for a vehicle on installments.
I've spoken with the supervisor
of the chief.
I need only two lakh rupees initially.
I will payoff the debt by earning wages.
Two lakh rupees!
I haven't even dreamt
of such a huge amount!
Where will I get that kind of money from?
Stop hovering uselessly, my son.
Accompany me to work
tomorrow onwards.
This is impossible, Father.
I've already planned a few things
with my friends.
I will go to Dubai and earn money
to buy a vehicle of my own.
Dubai!
And what about the girl you are seeing?
Who will look after her?
Sher Khan is in a hurry.
Let it be, Father.
He is setting me up for failure.
Menial tasks like cutting wood
and washing pots at the hotel.
It is against my grandeur.
What? Your grandeur?
-What is your grandeur?
-Father! Stop it.
What is your grandeur? You rascal!
Master!
What's the matter?
Since yesterday, I have been observing...
that you are lost in thoughts.
Even now when we are going back,
you are troubled and anxious.
Is everything alright, master?
Nothing serious, Shinkai.
I had to talk to Sher Khan
regarding Gullalai's wedding.
He is not going to wait anymore.
Master. You're very funny.
Gullalai is stupid.
He is embarrassed to join
his father's occupation.
I hope God guides him.
Pray for him.
God is the most beneficent one.
Don't worry.
The people of the young generation
are very reckless anyway.
You are late.
I have been waiting for you since so long.
I came here with great difficulty.
I told them that I'm
off to visit Pashmina.
It would have been impossible,
if Jan Bibi wouldn't have help me.
For how long will we meet secretly?
Why doesn't your brother
give us his consent?
Get a job soon.
Prove yourself through hard work.
You know how my brother is.
He will never even think about our wedding
amidst such circumstances.
What should I do?
I cannot do labor.
I have thought of purchasing a truck.
And when I will go on long routes...
I will take you along!
Okay, be happy with your daydreaming.
Call me when you go on long routes.
Get it?
It's getting difficult to meet secretly.
Brother doesn't allow me.
Please don't be upset.
I will think of a solution.
Leave my hand. Somebody might see us.
I am not scared of anyone.
Hello, Brother!
What are you doing here?
Is everything okay?
I just felt like meeting Zarmina.
You met her last evening
and you both were engrossed in talking.
And you're here to meet her again?
I just felt like meeting her.
Listen to me.
You rather go elsewhere.
Get it?
What nonsense!
If her brother doesn't want me to live,
does that mean I should stop living?
You must immediately arrange for dowry
and take Zarmina to your house.
I'm tired of serving as a messenger.
Is it impossible to love without dowry?
Please do me a favour.
This is...
Give this letter to Zarmina.
How are you?
Forget about me.
Today was an awful day
because of your brother.
He would have killed me for sure.
Tell him that I can't meet him anymore.
I told him, Zarmina.
But you know him.
He says he will die
if he doesn't meet you.
Don't say that!
Dare you say that again!
I understand, Zarmina.
What is it?
Zarmina.
Let's go. We are getting late.
Zarmina!
-What's wrong with you?
-What happened, Sher Khan?
Ask her... Ask this naive girl!
What was she doing with that lunatic?
Remember this, Mother.
She is not allowed to step out of home
anymore.
No need to study.
What are you saying, Sher Khan?
Didn't you permit her to study?
Gullalai is not a stranger.
He is your cousin and her to-be fiancé.
Your father had proposed this alliance
at the time of his death.
I don't acknowledge that commitment.
He is not her fiancé.
It was a mere consideration and
their proposal was not fixed, Mother.
I can't give my consent
to their relationship
until Gullalai stops wandering
and finds a job.
He is a gambler and a cock-fighter.
I will never let my sister
marry someone like him.
Pay attention to these pictures, Abdullah!
Will you disagree that
these foreigners were
not trained terrorists?
There is a huge difference
between getting trained
and practicing terrorism, sir!
I have stated what I observed.
What are you trying to say?
Should we allow these
terrorists in our country?
And should the police keep arresting them?
Okay. Even if I agree that
they were the terrorists,
there were three women among them, sir.
One of them was in the
seventh month of pregnancy.
And it is strictly objectionable to hurt a
woman or a child even in the state of war.
We belong to the same religion, Mr. Zaman.
Isn't it strange, sir?
The court has refused to sign
the remand papers of Shinkai
and directed us to transfer him
to judicial custody.
The truck driver has refused
to give a statement in our favor.
He will give us the statement at any cost!
There is a message for you
by the ASI and the SHO.
Not only will they try to give you a bail,
but also recommend the Government
to give you a two lakh cash award.
Oh, hapless person!
Two lakh is not a small amount.
Your life will change.
You... should think again.
I, Abdullah Khan...
son of Allahdad Khan
and a resident of Kuchlak...
hereby solemnly state that I did not
know those Tajiks before I met them.
I boarded them as passengers
from Kuchlak to Quetta.
When we got close to Quetta,
there was a snap checking
initiated by the police.
The police stopped the vehicle
for a thorough checking, sir.
There was a quarrel between them
and the police.
Meanwhile, a Russian
took out a hand grenade.
"God is great!"
That's the slogan they were shouting out.
They ran towards the police station.
The police started firing the terrorists.
Suddenly, a blast occurred
and all the Russians fell down.
This is all that I have to state, sir.
Okay, Abdullah, you may go now.
Mother.
Mother.
Congratulations, Mother.
Father has been released.
He will be back home tomorrow.
Great news! Thank God!
Hats off to you, Abdullah.
What a brilliant statement
at the tribunal!
Congratulations for the
acceptance of bail.
You are such an opportunist!
I could have also made
arrangements for your bail,
but it would have been
without any cash award.
This made you manipulate the truth
with a lie.
Sir, I didn't change my statement
for the sake of money.
You were right, Abdullah.
"The poor man has only one craving."
"Money."
"And just, money."
But it's unbelievable that you
betrayed your faith and beliefs
for the sake of money.
What a brilliant statement
at the tribunal!
This amount will help
you pay off the debts
and the installments of your truck.
You can now prepare for
the dowry of your son.
Abdullah!
Please clarify before you go.
Which of your statements
is based on the truth?
Is it the one that you iterated to me?
Or the one recorded
in front of the tribunal?
Abdullah Khan.
Why do you look so troubled?
Gratitude to God,
every trouble has been wiped out.
Shinkai was telling me
that the government is awarding you
a huge amount of money
for denouncing the terrorists.
I will renovate the entire house,
arrange for Gullalai's dowry
and prepare for his wedding
without any worries.
I will fulfill all the desires
of my children.
Don't be a miser.
Why aren't you listening to me?
Okay, as you wish.
Is there a problem?
There is no problem.
What's the matter?
It's nothing serious.
Please go to bed.
Abdullah Khan.
The call for worship has been announced.
Let's go and offer our prayers.
You may proceed.
I will be joining you shortly.
Abdullah Khan.
You spend so much time
bowing to the laymen.
Instead, surrender yourself
to the will of Allah
and your life will change.
Hurry up, now.
I don't want my brother to catch us.
Don't worry about that.
My father is soon going to get
a huge amount of money
and all our troubles will be solved.
Tell your mother to start preparing
for our wedding.
Are you serious?
How can I tell that to my mother?
You must ask your father to do that.
Brother is already annoyed with me.
He won't wait anymore!
Once we get married,
I will teach your brother a lesson.
Just stop! Not a word against my brother.
Then whom should I blame? You?
No. Blame Gullalai!
Oh, my beloved!
Master, stop worrying.
Render gratitude to God
for our lives have been saved.
And most importantly,
we will be rewarded!
-What else do you wish for?
-This is all a lie!
If not yourself, please
have mercy on me at least.
I don't want to be imprisoned
and get tortured once again.
Stop being obsessed
about the truth, master!
Shinkai Khan... I'm helpless!
I can't sleep at night.
Their faces keep hovering in front of me.
What was bound to happen
has happened, master.
If you change your statement,
you will be imprisoned for a lifetime.
Pay heed to my words and
please bury this matter now.
And this is the truth that they let the
terrorists in, without any visa permit.
Please forget this issue and start
preparing for Gullalai's wedding.
Forget it.
Please stop thinking about it.
Take a look at this, Mother.
I know. Keep it here.
Mother!
You are always grooming yourself.
I know how handsome you are.
Let me check, Mother.
You look into the mirror time and again.
You have nothing else to do.
Look. Your father is here.
Father, she has shopped on credit.
What is all this?
From where did you get this?
Return it right now.
Who will pay for all this?
No way! Why should I return it?
It is obvious.
You will pay for it, Abdullah Khan.
These are merely some clothes
for me and my children.
The jewelry is yet to be bought
and this house needs to be renovated.
But, not now. We can do that
after we get your cash award!
My God! Why don't you understand?
It is not some award.
It is a curse in disguise!
It is a curse indeed.
This reward has tormented
my peace and comfort.
Oh God! I'm tired of him.
Abdullah Khan.
What happened?
Why do you look worried?
My fate has entangled me in a misery.
What else could be more
entangling than life itself?
Well... how grave is this perjury
in our religion?
Perjury is a huge sin.
Allah has cursed upon the liars.
And, did you know...
on the day of judgment, he will
be resurrected amongst the liars.
Even if the accused perjury
is proven truthful by some other party?
Let the truth of others
be confined to them, Abdullah Khan!
Your truth is merely that
which you have witnessed.
Man should be a witnesser
to those incidents
for which he is an absolute eyewitness.
Because sometimes truth
turns out to be a huge expiation.
Expiation?
Isn't expiation a huge sin?
In our religion, every sin
is liable to be forgiven
except practicing idolatry.
But before you receive forgiveness
you need to repent for it.
Repent for the sins
and you will be forgiven.
It is also worth considering
that if the sin is pertinent
to human rights
then the prime forgiveness
is from the sufferer.
God will shower His salvation,
if it is His will.
But remember this, Abdullah Khan...
the path of truth is very strenuous,
but the destiny is very peaceful.
Sher Khan, listen to Khan Bibi.
Listen to me.
I have no personal enmity with you.
I don't want anything for myself.
I want you to guarantee
my sister's good future.
When Gullalai
will buy a truck on installments
I will bid farewell to Zarmina
on that day.
I can understand your worry, Sher Khan!
Every brother in this world
is worried for his sister.
But, give me some more time.
I will try to convince Gullalai's father.
I will spend all the money
received as cash award
on Gullalai and Zarmina's wedding.
I have already been very patient.
What else do you expect?
Okay.
I am giving Gullalai two weeks to prepare.
If he manages the matrimonial requisites
within fifteen days,
then it will be good.
Otherwise, I will have Zarmina married
to the headmaster Fazal Mohammad's son.
His son is a teacher at the school.
And this is my final decision!
Listen up, Abdullah Khan!
You haven't given me a single
moment of happiness in my life.
I never complained.
And now when we are being blessed
with hope
why do you want to destroy everything?
For God's sake, don't hurl
this injustice upon us.
Otherwise, I won't be able
to celebrate my son's happiness.
Forget it, Mother.
Father is not concerned
about our happiness.
If we are left to his mercy,
he will detain us out of his helplessness.
He is actually jealous of our happiness.
What are you saying!
Why will a father be jealous
of his son's happiness?
Then, why do you want to let go
of the cash award?
Nothing will change
if you go ahead and change your statement.
Everybody is wise enough.
One useless truth will hurl our
family into a state of suffering.
My son, truth is never useless.
Truth is like a debt
that keeps pinching the conscience
throughout life.
It keeps chasing the human mind
until one dies.
Fine!
Before changing your statement,
you must give us some poison
and bury us in the graveyard.
Shut up!
Father!
What are you saying?
I will die.
It's true, Gullalai!
My brother has fixed my alliance
with the headmaster's son.
I shall be married to him
in the next week.
No!
That's impossible.
I will not let you marry someone else.
I will plead in front of your brother.
I will beg for you.
-I will...
-You have wasted a lot of time, Gullalai.
Instead of being dreamy
about setting up a business,
if you would have worked hard
then my brother's trust
would not have flickered.
Now, you can't do what my
brother expects you to do.
You can never do it.
Zarmina! Your brother
cannot decide our fate.
Let's elope!
No, Gullalai!
We have loved each other.
Don't make it a crime.
Everybody tried to convince me
about the fact that you are lazy.
That I should forget about you.
But I loved you.
I have only loved you.
But we are not destined to be together.
I am not just the love of your life.
I am also the honor of a brother
and the reverence of an old mother.
I have complete faith in you.
I am sure you will not
sabotage my brother's honor
and keep up the respect
that my old mother holds.
This was our last meeting.
Take care of yourself... and forget me.
Zarmina!
Zarmina!
O God!
Gullalai.
Zarmina has returned your gifts.
Hello, sir.
You are very late, Abdullah.
Tomorrow is the burial of those Tajiks
and you are here to say that you
want to change your statement.
Do you know what will happen?
I know, sir.
Probably, a life imprisonment.
But, sir.
Imprisonment is better
than a tainted conscience!
You will not only lose the cash
but also risk the jobs of many policemen.
Do you want to invite
a lifetime of enmity with the policemen?
It is much better than self-enmity, sir.
And I didn't change the statement
for the sake of money.
Sir, you told me that
we are going to court.
Why have you brought me to prison?
You're here, Shinkai!
Don't beat me!
-For God's sake, don't beat me!
-Speak up!
Hey!
How brutal!
May God bring misery upon you.
Why have you beaten this innocent?
You are responsible for his
predicament, Abdullah Khan.
Me?
What! Why am I responsible?
Yes!
You and your obstinacy
has cast this misery upon him.
My obstinacy?
Indeed, it is your obstinacy.
Why are you reluctant to
record this statement
that those Tajiks advanced
towards the police station
for terrorist purposes?
And that they were shouting
the slogan "God is great."
-But, sir!
-No arguments!
Even the government has
accepted them as terrorists
and we are receiving a huge
reward for their encounter.
So what is the problem with you?
Sir.
Okay... as you wish.
Be imprisoned with pain and misery.
Don't complaint if you and your friends
are executed to death.
Let's go, Pervaiz.
I think the prison is their fate.
Sir.
Okay, sir.
I will say whatever you want me to say.
But please release this
innocent friend of mine.
Sir.
Sir, I cannot live
with this burden anymore.
Please have some mercy on me.
Okay, Abdullah.
I will make arrangements for recording
your statement in front of the tribunal.
You will be presented in front
of the tribunal tomorrow.
Abdullah, so you say
that your previous statement
was backed by police pressure.
Is the pressure not persistent now?
No, sir.
I am merely under the pressure
of conscience and faith
and there is no compulsion anymore.
Okay, Abdullah Khan,
you may proceed with your statement.
I want to say that those Russians
were mere passengers.
Stop the vehicle, master.
There is a lavish income
standing by the road.
Shut up! We don't know them.
Please stop the vehicle, master.
I'll talk to them. Stop!
Hello! How are you?
Where are you going?
-Kuwait!
-I'm going to Quetta not Kuwait.
I don't understand what you are saying.
Listen to me.
-Oh good, you know Pashto.
-We are going to Quetta.
I see. You are going to Quetta.
-How much money will you charge?
-Let's settle on ten thousand.
No, I will pay you five thousand.
Do you have a passport or a visa?
No, we don't.
Five thousand is too less.
Shinkai!
Come here.
Yes.
Master, these people are headed to Quetta.
They are ready to pay 5000 rupees.
What do you say?
Oh, so you have settled the amount?
Are you trying to dictate me?
So, you've sealed the deal?
Who are they? Where are they going?
Do you know them?
You are such a fool.
Don't you know what a risk this is?
Master, we've got nothing to do
with who they are
where they're going, or their purpose.
We should only be concerned
about the 5000 rupees.
If we don't take them along,
someone else will.
Shall I call them now?
Do they have a visa?
Why would they pay 5000 rupees for such
a short distance, if they had a visa?
They don't have a visa.
We can't take them along.
You are stupid.
You're calling for trouble.
Come on. Just get in!
Master, they are good people.
And most importantly, they are Muslims.
If we don't take them along for
5000 rupees, someone else will.
30 kilometers is all we need to deal with.
What about the police station on the way?
Who will be responsible
to handle the police?
Master, you are a coward.
They will handle the police
and give the money as well.
Don't over-think.
Who are these five people?
One is a Russian,
and the rest of them are Tajiks.
Where have they come from?
Why are they going to Quetta?
They've come from across the border.
They're headed to Iran via Quetta
for a pilgrimage.
How do you know all this?
Do you know their language?
My father used to speak Russian.
They know a bit of Pashto.
They've explained everything to me.
How are they related to each other?
One of them is a couple.
The others are all relatives, master.
Let's forget it.
Make them board the truck.
Otherwise, someone else
would grab the amount.
-Okay, make them sit. Hurry up!
-Yes!
Hurry up!
There we go.
Okay.
I've settled the issue
with great difficulty.
Board the vehicle.
-We settled at five thousand.
-That's right.
You are behaving as if
you've paid me 5000 dollars.
Come on.
You can sit with me on the front seat.
Thank you too.
Come on. One after the other.
Yes. There you go!
Wolga, are you tired?
Yes, I am quite tired.
Don't worry. We are near the city now.
There, you will get complete rest.
Greetings, sir.
-How are you, sir?
-All well. Greetings to you.
-Take a seat.
-Yes. Sure.
-There you go.
-This is for you.
Is everything okay? Can we have some tea?
Oh, yes.
Listen to me, carefully.
Okay, listen. We are at a hotel.
The tea is ready. Join us.
Sisters, wait here.
The men may join us.
Sure.
Stay here.
We will be back after having tea.
Come on.
Sisters, tea for you.
Madam, it's tea. Please have it.
Please give me my tea.
We need to leave soon.
Hey! Listen! What are you doing?
What's happening?
There you go.
-Please keep this money.
-It's okay.
Let it be.
-Please keep this money.
-It's okay.
-Please keep it.
-It's okay.
Please take it.
Keep your money inside.
Why are you fighting? Please pay.
Why do you want to pay?
I'll give him the money.
You are our guest.
Keep your money aside. Let's go.
Let's go. Come on.
-Wait a minute.
-Hurry up! Come on!
See you soon. Goodbye.
-Greetings, Brother.
-Greetings.
How are you?
Check the vehicle.
How are you doing, Brother?
Hope you're doing good.
Open it and stay away.
See. Everything is okay.
Where are you taking these passengers?
Going to Quetta, sir.
I am not asking about you.
I am inquiring about
those people sitting at the back.
Sir, they are travelers
and were standing by the road.
We are just taking them to Quetta.
There is nothing more to it, I swear!
Oh, such a sympathetic man!
Get them out of the vehicle.
-Wait a minute, sir!
-Stay quiet. Listen to me.
Sir, please listen to us.
Sir, wait a minute.
Listen to me, please.
The matter is...
Come with me.
Wait a minute, master.
Brother, come.
Okay, sir. Everything is alright now.
Why are you staring at me, sir?
This is such a huge amount.
They are poor.
They are headed to Iran on a pilgrimage.
They will pray for you and for us.
All of us will be blessed.
You've got money and now you'll get
blessings too, by the grace of God.
If you're destined to get it.
Okay. Let's go, master.
Let's move forward.
Okay, I will accompany you.
I have some work in the city.
Okay. Come and sit on the front seat.
No. I will sit at the back.
You can sit here.
-Want to sit here? Okay.
-Yes.
Sit quickly. Make it fast.
Sit down.
Quick...
Come on in.
Hey! What are you doing?
Don't beat me.
Stop! Don't beat me.
Stop it!
Don't beat me.
-Don't beat me...
-Brother?
What happened, Brother?
Why are you angry?
What happened, Brother?
Watch out.
Inspector, what's wrong with you?
Hey, Brother. Why are you running?
Hey, Brother.
Don't run away. Where are you going?
Listen to me.
Don't run away. Stop!
Listen to me. Brother! Sister!
I had arrested five terrorists
and I was bringing them to prison...
but they disembarked the vehicle
threatening me with a hand grenade.
Inform all the police mobiles
that they are heading towards
Kharotabad police station
with an intention of a suicide attack.
Roger control! I am informing them.
That's the check-post.
Look. Right there!
Let's go.
Don't fire!
Hey, you!
Hey, you. Stop!
No!
Stop!
What are you doing?
Please stop this. Oh God!
Sir, it's surprising.
The person whom you used to reckon
as a criminal, some days ago...
has totally changed your views about him.
What will we tell the media, sir?
We will present the truth
to the media, Mirza.
The entire nation should not be guilty
for the crimes of a few individuals.
It should be reverberated
in the whole world
that the active police force
brought the realities into the limelight.
At the time of death those five foreigners
were without weapons.
What are you saying?
Let me remind you that
a detonator and safety pins were found
from the belongings of those foreigners.
And I am really surprised that
you are talking in favor of that driver.
You...
are someone who strived hard
to elicit the truth from him,
at any cost
in order to wipe out the blemish on the
stature of the country and the nation.
Indeed, sir.
I am still willing to do the same.
I shall communicate the truth
to the whole nation and the world.
And, what is the truth according to you?
It is indeed unfortunate, sir.
Those foreigners had no weapons
and they could have been
easily arrested alive.
If the police had doubts
that they had bombs on their bodies,
it would have been easily detected
through scanners
when they were injured.
They should have been
taken to the hospital, sir.
Their lives would have been saved.
We were facilitated by the equipment
which could have easily
scanned their injured bodies
from a specific distance, sir!
Think carefully, officer.
The truth that you are advocating
could risk multiple lives.
Even the CM has announced a huge
reward for the police department.
How would we face them?
Truth is truth indeed, sir.
It doesn't require any justification.
Our answers should be based
on truth alone.
Everything is ready, master.
Shinkai.
Yes, master.
Take the keys.
Are you serious, master?
You are the driver, today onwards,
throughout the route.
Really?
What are you saying?
I can't believe this!
Are you kidding me, master?
-Take the seat!
-As you say, master.
-Wow!
-I'll be the cleaner now.
No, Father. Now onwards, I am the cleaner.
Gullalai!
My son!
Go, my dear.
Starting today,
you are the cleaner of the vehicle.
Do as I say.
Sure, Father.
I'll take your leave.
Take care.
Come on, master.
Yes, what is the issue?
Abdullah has been transferred
to judicial custody.
I wish to investigate him in prison.
Why do you want to do that?
He is ready to record his statement.
The case is very important, sir.
The media is relentlessly
following up on it
and trying to
prove these terrorists innocent.
I don't want to take any risk.
Okay.
You will be given the
permission by tomorrow.
I have another request, sir.
Yes, tell me.
I suggest that we confine Abdullah
under foolproof security
and strict vigilance.
He should not be allowed
to meet his family
until the questioning is over.
He should be kept under
solitary confinement.
I understand your concern.
We will ensure that special arrangements
are made for the prisoner.
Both of you will assist SP Zaman
starting today.
-Ali?
-Yes.
This is Mirza Khan. DSP Special Branch.
Mirza Khan, this is Mr. Ali.
ASP Crime Branch.
I hope your team will perform efficiently.
For how long have you
been in this service?
I joined six months ago
after the completion of my training.
Are you a junior officer?
I have been serving for 20 years.
I was appointed as an ASI
when the IG was an ASP.
I hope that by the time
I am promoted as the IG...
you will not continue to be the DSP.
The file gives an incomplete account
of the story.
Only Abdullah can give us a clear picture.
Sir, you don't need to worry.
There are many Pakistanis who
are gunned down on the borders
of Iran, Turkey and Greek
by the forces, in a similar way.
Although, nothing is mentioned about it.
And here, the media is creating a fuss.
You are right, Mirza.
Sir, are you sure that
they are terrorists?
Some of the facts are missing.
As soon as I get hold of them,
I will forward my report
to the higher authorities.
Please arrange my meeting
with Abdullah, immediately.
We know of each other by now.
This is my third year
at the Special Branch.
This is a really tough job, Abdullah.
I'm far away from my family.
Well... what about your family?
What about your son Gullalai?
Has he got a job yet?
Or, is he still jobless?
Sir.
How do you know about my elder son?
Not only about your son...
I'm aware about your entire family.
Your daughter Gullgotti
got married and left for Swat.
You and your wife visited her
when her son had a bout of Hepatitis.
Seventeen installments of the truck
are yet to be paid.
Five months to go before you can get the
amount from the committee scheme draw
which is worth 2500 rupees a month.
You have a debt of 1300 rupees
with a general store.
It's strange, sir.
You know everything about me.
But, why don't you have the facts
regarding my case?
Well, that's true.
This is what all policemen do.
We are aware about every nook and corner
of the world
except what we are looking for.
I mentioned some facts about your life
which signify that...
you were in dire need of money
at that time.
A poor man has only one craving, sir.
Money.
How can I deny it, Abdullah?
That the need for money may have
convinced you to help the terrorists.
This money could be from
some other sources too.
Sir, I am a poor laborer.
I earn by selling my skill
and not my faith.
Let's see. Let time decide.
I just came to introduce myself.
We will meet again.
But certainly, our next meeting...
will not be confined to mere introduction.
Be ready.
Get more information
about this driver's whereabouts.
Try and get some information
from the place he resides.
If necessary, arrest and
interrogate some people.
-I need some proof.
-Okay, sir.
I need solid and accurate proof
against this driver.
Hello, constable!
Constable!
Please listen to me.
What is it?
Where is my friend, Shinkai, the cleaner?
Where is he?
He is having a hard time in prison.
He has not even been transferred
to judicial custody.
Please don't torture me.
I have not committed any crime.
You will have to record the statement.
He has not even spent 48 hours here
bearing this torture.
If he is here for another day,
he may also admit to Lady Diana's murder.
He is not a novice, sir!
He will gradually surrender himself.
Please make a note of this.
Until Abdullah's statement
is recorded in front of the tribunal
we'll keep both of them
under strict vigilance.
Indeed, sir!
But I have heard that SP Zaman
is taking a keen interest in this case.
He could be a hurdle.
Please come in, Mirza! Have a seat.
What's new?
Sir, this is the master file
of those foreigners.
You might find some relevant details
in here.
Okay, I will go through it.
Well... what about the hard disk
that was found from their belongings?
That has been sent to the record room.
I will inform you
as soon as I receive an update.
Okay, thank you.
Stop!
Both of us have to change our attire
before we reach the main road.
Just wait here.
We need a place where we can get changed.
Let's go!
Come on!
Hurry up.
SP Zaman... has called you.
Yes, yes!
You've mentioned this time and again.
And I have heard it so many times.
I know that you picked him up
from Kuchlak road.
But this is not the answer to my question.
My question is...
why did you pick them up
without knowing anything about them?
Why did they accompany you
if they were strangers?
Sir. It was just bad luck.
I picked them up for some money.
That's it.
Abdullah!
Every day there are thousands of vehicles
that pass by the highway.
Why did they get into your truck?
What was your intention while passing by
the Kharotabad police station?
What was your plan?
Were the Tajiks planning an attack
with bombs on their bodies?
-Tell me!
-I never even met them before.
Then why is your name written
on that hard disk?
I don't really know.
I am not an accomplice
to any of his intentions.
Sir, he'll not admit it.
Hand him over to me, for five minutes.
Okay, Abdullah!
I'm not hasty.
You have ample amount of time to think.
Relax for now.
After that, a long journey
is waiting for you.
What are you thinking?
Have your tea, it's getting cold.
I don't want it, constable.
But, thank you very much.
I am Rahim Bakhsh.
Head constable. Number 713.
If you need something, just tell me.
You are always lost in thought.
Constable,
when will my family come to meet me?
I will let you know.
Do you have anyone who will come here?
I have a son named Gullalai.
If he will come to meet me,
his mother will be happy.
Alas, my fate!
Today seems to be an unlucky day.
What happened? Is everything okay?
It seems like your mother
has reprimanded you.
Dear friend, why don't you
accompany your father as a cleaner?
You'll earn some money, at least.
Are you in your senses?
Dare you give me your advice again.
-You've spoiled my mood.
-My friend, listen to me.
Why are you upset?
-He is short-tempered.
-Yes.
Ignore him!
Mother!
Mother, I'm hungry.
Get me something to eat.
For how long will you rely on your
father's income, Gullalai Khan?
Why don't you setup a business,
if you can't share his burden?
Your father has advised you to
accompany him so many times.
For God's sake, don't repeat all that.
I've already told you that I don't
want be a cleaner or a laborer.
Look at you!
Your father is in prison
and you are always gambling.
This is why I tell you to
get me married to Zarmina.
But no one pays heed to my words.
Look at this.
It's a special something for you.
Let me help you wear it.
Give it to me.
I'll do it on my own.
Why?
Why can't I help you wear it?
No... Give it to me.
It's very pretty.
Isn't it?
Sir.
Yes?
Sir... let me drive the truck today.
Please give me the keys.
I really wish to drive it.
Quiet!
I thought you were about to say
something important.
You've spoiled my mood.
I never thought you could be a driver.
Am I supposed to fly an airplane?
I'll drive this truck. Give me a chance.
You need to get wiser
before you think of driving the vehicle.
You've spoiled my mood.
Go and take your seat.
You are such a fool!
-I want to drive the truck.
-You don't know how to drive.
Come on!
-This is not fair.
-I'll decide what's fair.
Greetings, constable!
Where are you coming from
and where are you headed to?
What are you carrying in the vehicle?
Constable!
We are carrying a generator
towards the border.
You need to have dowry
to be able to get married.
And you need money for that.
But we're in a condition...
where we don't have enough.
Hey, Gullalai!
Your father is a successful transporter.
Is he unable to find a job for you?
What are you saying?
Some installments for the truck
are yet to be paid.
He can plan my wedding once he is free
from the anxieties of his silly ventures.
He just wants to hurl his difficulties
on me by making me the cleaner.
Why should your fiancé bear the brunt?
Her elder brother is also very fussy.
Isn't he your paternal cousin?
That is the issue.
On one hand, my father is not cooperative
and on the other hand,
my to-be brother-in-law
wants to get his sister married
to someone else.
Listen to me, Mother.
Uncle Abdullah is a gentleman.
But his son Gullalai...
is a gambler and a cock-fighter.
I will never get my sister married to him.
Gullalai is naive.
I am confident that
Brother Abdullah will get him a job.
That's impossible.
He has borrowed money from half the bazaar
under his father's name
and drowned all the money
in gambling and cock-fighting.
No more arguments.
I have decided to clarify it
with Uncle Abdullah
that it is difficult to let
this wedding take place.
Shinkai.
Yes, master.
-Get the vehicle ready in the morning.
-Okay.
And stop oscillating the vehicle
back and forth.
You always do that for no good reason.
Master, that's not true.
Your training has helped me polish
my driving skills.
You can test my skills.
Just give me a chance
to drive on the highway.
This is what I desire the most in my life.
I swear by the Almighty God.
I have observed your driving skills.
You are deeply mistaken, my dear.
You cannot drive.
Stop talking and clean the vehicle.
Come on.
Fool!
I am tired of being a cleaner.
When will I drive the vehicle?
The day isn't far,
when I will drive this very vehicle
on the highway
and I will prove my skills.
Where is Gullalai?
Where else could he be?
He must be sitting
with his useless friends.
Or he must be engrossed
in cock-fighting.
May God instill some sense into him.
Why don't you talk to him?
I am tired of doing that.
I have repeatedly told you
to take him along with you to work.
If it is difficult, then let him
have a vehicle on wages.
It's not easy to have a vehicle on wages.
It is already very hard to pay
the installments for this vehicle.
Alas! He is such a hapless person!
Marriage is not a game.
How can we let our sister
marry a jobless person?
Zarmina is not just
your sister, Sher Khan.
She is like my daughter.
Until Gullalai finds a
job and gets settled
I won't be proposing the alliance.
For how long will this go on?
It is not quite desirable to have
an unmarried sister at home.
It's quite difficult, actually.
I cannot wait anymore.
You are absolutely right, Sher Khan.
I won't hurl you into more complications.
Just give me an extension
of another month.
If Gullalai gets convinced
to be a laborer with me on my vehicle
then all will be settled.
If not, you will be free to take any step.
Goodbye.
When are you going to stop wandering?
When will you reform your ways?
What do you expect, Father?
I will definitely work when I get a job.
You have not even cleared
your primary level.
And you are dreaming
of becoming a collector?
Please get into the same profession
which was conceived
by your father and forefathers.
Labor!
Please make arrangements
for a vehicle on installments.
I've spoken with the supervisor
of the chief.
I need only two lakh rupees initially.
I will payoff the debt by earning wages.
Two lakh rupees!
I haven't even dreamt
of such a huge amount!
Where will I get that kind of money from?
Stop hovering uselessly, my son.
Accompany me to work
tomorrow onwards.
This is impossible, Father.
I've already planned a few things
with my friends.
I will go to Dubai and earn money
to buy a vehicle of my own.
Dubai!
And what about the girl you are seeing?
Who will look after her?
Sher Khan is in a hurry.
Let it be, Father.
He is setting me up for failure.
Menial tasks like cutting wood
and washing pots at the hotel.
It is against my grandeur.
What? Your grandeur?
-What is your grandeur?
-Father! Stop it.
What is your grandeur? You rascal!
Master!
What's the matter?
Since yesterday, I have been observing...
that you are lost in thoughts.
Even now when we are going back,
you are troubled and anxious.
Is everything alright, master?
Nothing serious, Shinkai.
I had to talk to Sher Khan
regarding Gullalai's wedding.
He is not going to wait anymore.
Master. You're very funny.
Gullalai is stupid.
He is embarrassed to join
his father's occupation.
I hope God guides him.
Pray for him.
God is the most beneficent one.
Don't worry.
The people of the young generation
are very reckless anyway.
You are late.
I have been waiting for you since so long.
I came here with great difficulty.
I told them that I'm
off to visit Pashmina.
It would have been impossible,
if Jan Bibi wouldn't have help me.
For how long will we meet secretly?
Why doesn't your brother
give us his consent?
Get a job soon.
Prove yourself through hard work.
You know how my brother is.
He will never even think about our wedding
amidst such circumstances.
What should I do?
I cannot do labor.
I have thought of purchasing a truck.
And when I will go on long routes...
I will take you along!
Okay, be happy with your daydreaming.
Call me when you go on long routes.
Get it?
It's getting difficult to meet secretly.
Brother doesn't allow me.
Please don't be upset.
I will think of a solution.
Leave my hand. Somebody might see us.
I am not scared of anyone.
Hello, Brother!
What are you doing here?
Is everything okay?
I just felt like meeting Zarmina.
You met her last evening
and you both were engrossed in talking.
And you're here to meet her again?
I just felt like meeting her.
Listen to me.
You rather go elsewhere.
Get it?
What nonsense!
If her brother doesn't want me to live,
does that mean I should stop living?
You must immediately arrange for dowry
and take Zarmina to your house.
I'm tired of serving as a messenger.
Is it impossible to love without dowry?
Please do me a favour.
This is...
Give this letter to Zarmina.
How are you?
Forget about me.
Today was an awful day
because of your brother.
He would have killed me for sure.
Tell him that I can't meet him anymore.
I told him, Zarmina.
But you know him.
He says he will die
if he doesn't meet you.
Don't say that!
Dare you say that again!
I understand, Zarmina.
What is it?
Zarmina.
Let's go. We are getting late.
Zarmina!
-What's wrong with you?
-What happened, Sher Khan?
Ask her... Ask this naive girl!
What was she doing with that lunatic?
Remember this, Mother.
She is not allowed to step out of home
anymore.
No need to study.
What are you saying, Sher Khan?
Didn't you permit her to study?
Gullalai is not a stranger.
He is your cousin and her to-be fiancé.
Your father had proposed this alliance
at the time of his death.
I don't acknowledge that commitment.
He is not her fiancé.
It was a mere consideration and
their proposal was not fixed, Mother.
I can't give my consent
to their relationship
until Gullalai stops wandering
and finds a job.
He is a gambler and a cock-fighter.
I will never let my sister
marry someone like him.
Pay attention to these pictures, Abdullah!
Will you disagree that
these foreigners were
not trained terrorists?
There is a huge difference
between getting trained
and practicing terrorism, sir!
I have stated what I observed.
What are you trying to say?
Should we allow these
terrorists in our country?
And should the police keep arresting them?
Okay. Even if I agree that
they were the terrorists,
there were three women among them, sir.
One of them was in the
seventh month of pregnancy.
And it is strictly objectionable to hurt a
woman or a child even in the state of war.
We belong to the same religion, Mr. Zaman.
Isn't it strange, sir?
The court has refused to sign
the remand papers of Shinkai
and directed us to transfer him
to judicial custody.
The truck driver has refused
to give a statement in our favor.
He will give us the statement at any cost!
There is a message for you
by the ASI and the SHO.
Not only will they try to give you a bail,
but also recommend the Government
to give you a two lakh cash award.
Oh, hapless person!
Two lakh is not a small amount.
Your life will change.
You... should think again.
I, Abdullah Khan...
son of Allahdad Khan
and a resident of Kuchlak...
hereby solemnly state that I did not
know those Tajiks before I met them.
I boarded them as passengers
from Kuchlak to Quetta.
When we got close to Quetta,
there was a snap checking
initiated by the police.
The police stopped the vehicle
for a thorough checking, sir.
There was a quarrel between them
and the police.
Meanwhile, a Russian
took out a hand grenade.
"God is great!"
That's the slogan they were shouting out.
They ran towards the police station.
The police started firing the terrorists.
Suddenly, a blast occurred
and all the Russians fell down.
This is all that I have to state, sir.
Okay, Abdullah, you may go now.
Mother.
Mother.
Congratulations, Mother.
Father has been released.
He will be back home tomorrow.
Great news! Thank God!
Hats off to you, Abdullah.
What a brilliant statement
at the tribunal!
Congratulations for the
acceptance of bail.
You are such an opportunist!
I could have also made
arrangements for your bail,
but it would have been
without any cash award.
This made you manipulate the truth
with a lie.
Sir, I didn't change my statement
for the sake of money.
You were right, Abdullah.
"The poor man has only one craving."
"Money."
"And just, money."
But it's unbelievable that you
betrayed your faith and beliefs
for the sake of money.
What a brilliant statement
at the tribunal!
This amount will help
you pay off the debts
and the installments of your truck.
You can now prepare for
the dowry of your son.
Abdullah!
Please clarify before you go.
Which of your statements
is based on the truth?
Is it the one that you iterated to me?
Or the one recorded
in front of the tribunal?
Abdullah Khan.
Why do you look so troubled?
Gratitude to God,
every trouble has been wiped out.
Shinkai was telling me
that the government is awarding you
a huge amount of money
for denouncing the terrorists.
I will renovate the entire house,
arrange for Gullalai's dowry
and prepare for his wedding
without any worries.
I will fulfill all the desires
of my children.
Don't be a miser.
Why aren't you listening to me?
Okay, as you wish.
Is there a problem?
There is no problem.
What's the matter?
It's nothing serious.
Please go to bed.
Abdullah Khan.
The call for worship has been announced.
Let's go and offer our prayers.
You may proceed.
I will be joining you shortly.
Abdullah Khan.
You spend so much time
bowing to the laymen.
Instead, surrender yourself
to the will of Allah
and your life will change.
Hurry up, now.
I don't want my brother to catch us.
Don't worry about that.
My father is soon going to get
a huge amount of money
and all our troubles will be solved.
Tell your mother to start preparing
for our wedding.
Are you serious?
How can I tell that to my mother?
You must ask your father to do that.
Brother is already annoyed with me.
He won't wait anymore!
Once we get married,
I will teach your brother a lesson.
Just stop! Not a word against my brother.
Then whom should I blame? You?
No. Blame Gullalai!
Oh, my beloved!
Master, stop worrying.
Render gratitude to God
for our lives have been saved.
And most importantly,
we will be rewarded!
-What else do you wish for?
-This is all a lie!
If not yourself, please
have mercy on me at least.
I don't want to be imprisoned
and get tortured once again.
Stop being obsessed
about the truth, master!
Shinkai Khan... I'm helpless!
I can't sleep at night.
Their faces keep hovering in front of me.
What was bound to happen
has happened, master.
If you change your statement,
you will be imprisoned for a lifetime.
Pay heed to my words and
please bury this matter now.
And this is the truth that they let the
terrorists in, without any visa permit.
Please forget this issue and start
preparing for Gullalai's wedding.
Forget it.
Please stop thinking about it.
Take a look at this, Mother.
I know. Keep it here.
Mother!
You are always grooming yourself.
I know how handsome you are.
Let me check, Mother.
You look into the mirror time and again.
You have nothing else to do.
Look. Your father is here.
Father, she has shopped on credit.
What is all this?
From where did you get this?
Return it right now.
Who will pay for all this?
No way! Why should I return it?
It is obvious.
You will pay for it, Abdullah Khan.
These are merely some clothes
for me and my children.
The jewelry is yet to be bought
and this house needs to be renovated.
But, not now. We can do that
after we get your cash award!
My God! Why don't you understand?
It is not some award.
It is a curse in disguise!
It is a curse indeed.
This reward has tormented
my peace and comfort.
Oh God! I'm tired of him.
Abdullah Khan.
What happened?
Why do you look worried?
My fate has entangled me in a misery.
What else could be more
entangling than life itself?
Well... how grave is this perjury
in our religion?
Perjury is a huge sin.
Allah has cursed upon the liars.
And, did you know...
on the day of judgment, he will
be resurrected amongst the liars.
Even if the accused perjury
is proven truthful by some other party?
Let the truth of others
be confined to them, Abdullah Khan!
Your truth is merely that
which you have witnessed.
Man should be a witnesser
to those incidents
for which he is an absolute eyewitness.
Because sometimes truth
turns out to be a huge expiation.
Expiation?
Isn't expiation a huge sin?
In our religion, every sin
is liable to be forgiven
except practicing idolatry.
But before you receive forgiveness
you need to repent for it.
Repent for the sins
and you will be forgiven.
It is also worth considering
that if the sin is pertinent
to human rights
then the prime forgiveness
is from the sufferer.
God will shower His salvation,
if it is His will.
But remember this, Abdullah Khan...
the path of truth is very strenuous,
but the destiny is very peaceful.
Sher Khan, listen to Khan Bibi.
Listen to me.
I have no personal enmity with you.
I don't want anything for myself.
I want you to guarantee
my sister's good future.
When Gullalai
will buy a truck on installments
I will bid farewell to Zarmina
on that day.
I can understand your worry, Sher Khan!
Every brother in this world
is worried for his sister.
But, give me some more time.
I will try to convince Gullalai's father.
I will spend all the money
received as cash award
on Gullalai and Zarmina's wedding.
I have already been very patient.
What else do you expect?
Okay.
I am giving Gullalai two weeks to prepare.
If he manages the matrimonial requisites
within fifteen days,
then it will be good.
Otherwise, I will have Zarmina married
to the headmaster Fazal Mohammad's son.
His son is a teacher at the school.
And this is my final decision!
Listen up, Abdullah Khan!
You haven't given me a single
moment of happiness in my life.
I never complained.
And now when we are being blessed
with hope
why do you want to destroy everything?
For God's sake, don't hurl
this injustice upon us.
Otherwise, I won't be able
to celebrate my son's happiness.
Forget it, Mother.
Father is not concerned
about our happiness.
If we are left to his mercy,
he will detain us out of his helplessness.
He is actually jealous of our happiness.
What are you saying!
Why will a father be jealous
of his son's happiness?
Then, why do you want to let go
of the cash award?
Nothing will change
if you go ahead and change your statement.
Everybody is wise enough.
One useless truth will hurl our
family into a state of suffering.
My son, truth is never useless.
Truth is like a debt
that keeps pinching the conscience
throughout life.
It keeps chasing the human mind
until one dies.
Fine!
Before changing your statement,
you must give us some poison
and bury us in the graveyard.
Shut up!
Father!
What are you saying?
I will die.
It's true, Gullalai!
My brother has fixed my alliance
with the headmaster's son.
I shall be married to him
in the next week.
No!
That's impossible.
I will not let you marry someone else.
I will plead in front of your brother.
I will beg for you.
-I will...
-You have wasted a lot of time, Gullalai.
Instead of being dreamy
about setting up a business,
if you would have worked hard
then my brother's trust
would not have flickered.
Now, you can't do what my
brother expects you to do.
You can never do it.
Zarmina! Your brother
cannot decide our fate.
Let's elope!
No, Gullalai!
We have loved each other.
Don't make it a crime.
Everybody tried to convince me
about the fact that you are lazy.
That I should forget about you.
But I loved you.
I have only loved you.
But we are not destined to be together.
I am not just the love of your life.
I am also the honor of a brother
and the reverence of an old mother.
I have complete faith in you.
I am sure you will not
sabotage my brother's honor
and keep up the respect
that my old mother holds.
This was our last meeting.
Take care of yourself... and forget me.
Zarmina!
Zarmina!
O God!
Gullalai.
Zarmina has returned your gifts.
Hello, sir.
You are very late, Abdullah.
Tomorrow is the burial of those Tajiks
and you are here to say that you
want to change your statement.
Do you know what will happen?
I know, sir.
Probably, a life imprisonment.
But, sir.
Imprisonment is better
than a tainted conscience!
You will not only lose the cash
but also risk the jobs of many policemen.
Do you want to invite
a lifetime of enmity with the policemen?
It is much better than self-enmity, sir.
And I didn't change the statement
for the sake of money.
Sir, you told me that
we are going to court.
Why have you brought me to prison?
You're here, Shinkai!
Don't beat me!
-For God's sake, don't beat me!
-Speak up!
Hey!
How brutal!
May God bring misery upon you.
Why have you beaten this innocent?
You are responsible for his
predicament, Abdullah Khan.
Me?
What! Why am I responsible?
Yes!
You and your obstinacy
has cast this misery upon him.
My obstinacy?
Indeed, it is your obstinacy.
Why are you reluctant to
record this statement
that those Tajiks advanced
towards the police station
for terrorist purposes?
And that they were shouting
the slogan "God is great."
-But, sir!
-No arguments!
Even the government has
accepted them as terrorists
and we are receiving a huge
reward for their encounter.
So what is the problem with you?
Sir.
Okay... as you wish.
Be imprisoned with pain and misery.
Don't complaint if you and your friends
are executed to death.
Let's go, Pervaiz.
I think the prison is their fate.
Sir.
Okay, sir.
I will say whatever you want me to say.
But please release this
innocent friend of mine.
Sir.
Sir, I cannot live
with this burden anymore.
Please have some mercy on me.
Okay, Abdullah.
I will make arrangements for recording
your statement in front of the tribunal.
You will be presented in front
of the tribunal tomorrow.
Abdullah, so you say
that your previous statement
was backed by police pressure.
Is the pressure not persistent now?
No, sir.
I am merely under the pressure
of conscience and faith
and there is no compulsion anymore.
Okay, Abdullah Khan,
you may proceed with your statement.
I want to say that those Russians
were mere passengers.
Stop the vehicle, master.
There is a lavish income
standing by the road.
Shut up! We don't know them.
Please stop the vehicle, master.
I'll talk to them. Stop!
Hello! How are you?
Where are you going?
-Kuwait!
-I'm going to Quetta not Kuwait.
I don't understand what you are saying.
Listen to me.
-Oh good, you know Pashto.
-We are going to Quetta.
I see. You are going to Quetta.
-How much money will you charge?
-Let's settle on ten thousand.
No, I will pay you five thousand.
Do you have a passport or a visa?
No, we don't.
Five thousand is too less.
Shinkai!
Come here.
Yes.
Master, these people are headed to Quetta.
They are ready to pay 5000 rupees.
What do you say?
Oh, so you have settled the amount?
Are you trying to dictate me?
So, you've sealed the deal?
Who are they? Where are they going?
Do you know them?
You are such a fool.
Don't you know what a risk this is?
Master, we've got nothing to do
with who they are
where they're going, or their purpose.
We should only be concerned
about the 5000 rupees.
If we don't take them along,
someone else will.
Shall I call them now?
Do they have a visa?
Why would they pay 5000 rupees for such
a short distance, if they had a visa?
They don't have a visa.
We can't take them along.
You are stupid.
You're calling for trouble.
Come on. Just get in!
Master, they are good people.
And most importantly, they are Muslims.
If we don't take them along for
5000 rupees, someone else will.
30 kilometers is all we need to deal with.
What about the police station on the way?
Who will be responsible
to handle the police?
Master, you are a coward.
They will handle the police
and give the money as well.
Don't over-think.
Who are these five people?
One is a Russian,
and the rest of them are Tajiks.
Where have they come from?
Why are they going to Quetta?
They've come from across the border.
They're headed to Iran via Quetta
for a pilgrimage.
How do you know all this?
Do you know their language?
My father used to speak Russian.
They know a bit of Pashto.
They've explained everything to me.
How are they related to each other?
One of them is a couple.
The others are all relatives, master.
Let's forget it.
Make them board the truck.
Otherwise, someone else
would grab the amount.
-Okay, make them sit. Hurry up!
-Yes!
Hurry up!
There we go.
Okay.
I've settled the issue
with great difficulty.
Board the vehicle.
-We settled at five thousand.
-That's right.
You are behaving as if
you've paid me 5000 dollars.
Come on.
You can sit with me on the front seat.
Thank you too.
Come on. One after the other.
Yes. There you go!
Wolga, are you tired?
Yes, I am quite tired.
Don't worry. We are near the city now.
There, you will get complete rest.
Greetings, sir.
-How are you, sir?
-All well. Greetings to you.
-Take a seat.
-Yes. Sure.
-There you go.
-This is for you.
Is everything okay? Can we have some tea?
Oh, yes.
Listen to me, carefully.
Okay, listen. We are at a hotel.
The tea is ready. Join us.
Sisters, wait here.
The men may join us.
Sure.
Stay here.
We will be back after having tea.
Come on.
Sisters, tea for you.
Madam, it's tea. Please have it.
Please give me my tea.
We need to leave soon.
Hey! Listen! What are you doing?
What's happening?
There you go.
-Please keep this money.
-It's okay.
Let it be.
-Please keep this money.
-It's okay.
-Please keep it.
-It's okay.
Please take it.
Keep your money inside.
Why are you fighting? Please pay.
Why do you want to pay?
I'll give him the money.
You are our guest.
Keep your money aside. Let's go.
Let's go. Come on.
-Wait a minute.
-Hurry up! Come on!
See you soon. Goodbye.
-Greetings, Brother.
-Greetings.
How are you?
Check the vehicle.
How are you doing, Brother?
Hope you're doing good.
Open it and stay away.
See. Everything is okay.
Where are you taking these passengers?
Going to Quetta, sir.
I am not asking about you.
I am inquiring about
those people sitting at the back.
Sir, they are travelers
and were standing by the road.
We are just taking them to Quetta.
There is nothing more to it, I swear!
Oh, such a sympathetic man!
Get them out of the vehicle.
-Wait a minute, sir!
-Stay quiet. Listen to me.
Sir, please listen to us.
Sir, wait a minute.
Listen to me, please.
The matter is...
Come with me.
Wait a minute, master.
Brother, come.
Okay, sir. Everything is alright now.
Why are you staring at me, sir?
This is such a huge amount.
They are poor.
They are headed to Iran on a pilgrimage.
They will pray for you and for us.
All of us will be blessed.
You've got money and now you'll get
blessings too, by the grace of God.
If you're destined to get it.
Okay. Let's go, master.
Let's move forward.
Okay, I will accompany you.
I have some work in the city.
Okay. Come and sit on the front seat.
No. I will sit at the back.
You can sit here.
-Want to sit here? Okay.
-Yes.
Sit quickly. Make it fast.
Sit down.
Quick...
Come on in.
Hey! What are you doing?
Don't beat me.
Stop! Don't beat me.
Stop it!
Don't beat me.
-Don't beat me...
-Brother?
What happened, Brother?
Why are you angry?
What happened, Brother?
Watch out.
Inspector, what's wrong with you?
Hey, Brother. Why are you running?
Hey, Brother.
Don't run away. Where are you going?
Listen to me.
Don't run away. Stop!
Listen to me. Brother! Sister!
I had arrested five terrorists
and I was bringing them to prison...
but they disembarked the vehicle
threatening me with a hand grenade.
Inform all the police mobiles
that they are heading towards
Kharotabad police station
with an intention of a suicide attack.
Roger control! I am informing them.
That's the check-post.
Look. Right there!
Let's go.
Don't fire!
Hey, you!
Hey, you. Stop!
No!
Stop!
What are you doing?
Please stop this. Oh God!
Sir, it's surprising.
The person whom you used to reckon
as a criminal, some days ago...
has totally changed your views about him.
What will we tell the media, sir?
We will present the truth
to the media, Mirza.
The entire nation should not be guilty
for the crimes of a few individuals.
It should be reverberated
in the whole world
that the active police force
brought the realities into the limelight.
At the time of death those five foreigners
were without weapons.
What are you saying?
Let me remind you that
a detonator and safety pins were found
from the belongings of those foreigners.
And I am really surprised that
you are talking in favor of that driver.
You...
are someone who strived hard
to elicit the truth from him,
at any cost
in order to wipe out the blemish on the
stature of the country and the nation.
Indeed, sir.
I am still willing to do the same.
I shall communicate the truth
to the whole nation and the world.
And, what is the truth according to you?
It is indeed unfortunate, sir.
Those foreigners had no weapons
and they could have been
easily arrested alive.
If the police had doubts
that they had bombs on their bodies,
it would have been easily detected
through scanners
when they were injured.
They should have been
taken to the hospital, sir.
Their lives would have been saved.
We were facilitated by the equipment
which could have easily
scanned their injured bodies
from a specific distance, sir!
Think carefully, officer.
The truth that you are advocating
could risk multiple lives.
Even the CM has announced a huge
reward for the police department.
How would we face them?
Truth is truth indeed, sir.
It doesn't require any justification.
Our answers should be based
on truth alone.
Everything is ready, master.
Shinkai.
Yes, master.
Take the keys.
Are you serious, master?
You are the driver, today onwards,
throughout the route.
Really?
What are you saying?
I can't believe this!
Are you kidding me, master?
-Take the seat!
-As you say, master.
-Wow!
-I'll be the cleaner now.
No, Father. Now onwards, I am the cleaner.
Gullalai!
My son!
Go, my dear.
Starting today,
you are the cleaner of the vehicle.
Do as I say.
Sure, Father.
I'll take your leave.
Take care.
Come on, master.
