Tigers (2014) - full transcript

Coffee?

- No.

Milk?

Ayan.

Hi, Ayan.

- Hi Ayan, How are you doing?

Hi, Hi guys.

Ayan, I just wanted

you to know that,

I really wanna produce

the movie version of your story.

But, you are asking us to

take a very powerful coperation.

I'm here with frank

our financier's lawyer.

And he just wants to make sure that

everything is safe for our backers.

Now, everything you say is true

and we can prove that it's true

then we can make this film.

Listen, Ayan,

we've just came back from pakistan

and there are some

things in our screenplay

that don't add up for us.

So we just need to make sure that,

we've got the full story.

You understand?

- Yes.

And we're gonna record this incase

we need it as evidence in court.

Nadeem, how do I turn this on?

You're the director.

So...

Ayan, where does your story start?

"Beloved..."

"Your love is beautiful."

"Beloved..."

"My heart flutters."

Do you like Bollywood movies?

Imran!

Congratulations buddy!

I wanted to come

but my boss is a real...

Don't worry.

Zainab.

Congratulations!

Can you turn the

TV around a little bit?

Here, take it.

I've seen it already.

Thank you.

'Enemy?'

'No, friend.'

'Good luck, good luck.'

'You call this good luck?'

'Yes.'

'Very soon something good

is going to happen to you...'

Yeah! Movie time.

- Sajid...

Sajid! You silly boy,

come out of there! Come on!

'Hey, good luck!'

Leave them alone.

It's not your room any more.

But Mum, they're watching a movie.

I'll tell your Dad!

- It's not fair.

Ayan, I'm sure it

was a lovely wedding,

but what we really need

to know is how you got the job.

If you want to understand my story,

you have to understand my life.

My family.

Before all of this began.

'I was a, a salesman for a local,'

Pakistani pharmacuetical company.'

'We used to sell drugs

to the doctors.'

'But the doctors had

no time for us.'

'The multinatinals were

the only ones they listened to.'

Doctor!

Why burden your patients with

the expensive multinational brands?

Why should they pay

for fancy packaging?

Here, is an antibiotic

manufactured in our country.

I know your products

but no one wants

to buy Pakistani drugs.

But they're the same

and a fifth of the price.

They're cheaper!

But people don't want to buy

them because they don't trust them.

What about the poor people?

When it comes to their health,

even they are ready to pay

the price for fancy packaging.

Let me leave you some free samples.

Your company might

have money to spare,

but I don't have time to waste.

Doctor, please listen to me.

Ayan!

Yes, Happy-Ji.

Are you happy?

Yes, Happy-Ji.

Do you think I am happy?

You are...

- Do you think I am happy!

You will have your rent

by the end of the week.

In consideration of this case

we would like to state that,

the evidence provided

by the prosecution...

She types very well.

Dinner! Dinner is ready.

Eat, eat, eat...

All we do in this house is eat.

No problem I'll give your

share of dessert to the boys.

Okay.

How was your day?

Nobody wants to buy

local products any more...

I hope tomorrow will

be better than today!

God willing!

- God willing!

Son.

Tomorrow when he goes

to the High Court

with his letter of protest

you go with him

and tell the Judge your

father didn't mean any offence.

Come on, sit down.

Sit, have dinner.

Come on. The food is served.

Come, now.

Move!

- Hurry up. The food is hot.

Eat fast.

Please don't rush us...

Chewing food is as

important as eating it.

So eat it now and save

the chewing for later!

Your father was a lawyer?

No, not officialy.

The government took away his job

and he taught himself

the law to try and win it back.

He loved the legal jargon.

Here you are.

Please take a look at this.

A big multinational

company is looking

for medical representatives.

They're looking

for college graduates.

Read.

Your mum told me,

when your father lost his job,

you left college

and started working.

Ayan!

Zainab I know these people,

they only want college graduates.

Ayan you are an excellent salesman,

you can sell anything.

Try. What do you have to lose?

Ayan!

Come here children...

Ok, I'll give it a shot.

But I know it's not going to work.

Here, try this one.

I had it made when I was your age.

It should fit you.

See?

Let me see.

Perfect fit!

You look good!

No.. no...

Take that off. It's all wrong.

It looks like your elder brother's!

Try this one.

- Yes try this one.

Ayan!

These shoes,

they're from Javed's wedding.

He only wore them once.

Try them on.

Now he looks like an executive

with a big multinational company.

Which company is it?

You'll find out soon enough.

- Take this, it's my favourite.

Try to speak in English

when you get there, okay?

Yes... that will impress them.

It's extremely hot!

Darn you!

They say it brings luck.

You must have been through a lot.

If you have to find your luck...

in bird shit!

Are you going to use

the real company name?

Of course.

It would be helpful not to use ***.

Well,

let's just assume that

we will not use the company name

we will see how it feels.

Okay.

Greetings!

- Greetings!

Are you here for me?

- Yes, sir.

How are you?

- I'm good. How are you? Hi!

Good morning Tigers.

That's what I'm going to call you.

That's what I want you to be.

Tigers.

Good morning Tiger Waleed.

Good morning sir.

- Tiger sir!

Good morning Tiger sir.

Good morning Tiger Ayan.

Good morning Tiger sir.

Growl Tigers.

I said growl!

That is a growl!

A real growl.

Let that growl that is inside you,

come out now.

I need you to give

me your best today.

Only a few of you

are going to make it to

become sales representatives.

You will be selling the

world's best infant formula

with the world's best company...

Lastavita.

So go get 'em.

What did they ask you?

It was all about "Who do I know?"

Doctors, hospitals, etc.

I thought they were just

looking for guys with diplomas.

Alright!

So you say you know

all the doctors here?

Yes sir, I spend my days

going from one doctor to another.

Really?

So how well do you know them?

I meet them every

day in all the hospitals.

So do you know them

or do you spend your time

waiting outside their offices?

I know them.

Alright.

So, what can you

tell me about Dr. Wasim?

Wasim...

Who works at the Civil hospital.

Wasim... He's a good doctor.

He has a lot of patients.

Yes. He's a good doctor.

Doctor Wasim works

at the Hassan hospital.

I'm sorry.

There's been a misunderstanding.

We're looking for

people with experience.

Sir...

2.0!

- Yes,

and then it went off to 2.8%.

Ali-Rasool Medical Store.

Ayub-Aalam Pharmacy.

- Excuse me!

Mustafa-Rashid Pharmacy.

Wasim...

Central Medical Supplies...

- So?

Which do you think is easier?

Working for you and just walking

into all the top doctors' offices

or travelling

hundreds of kilometers

around every two-bit pharmacy,

selling local products

no-one really wants?

I have to be ten times as good

as these guys to sell this stuff.

Lasta food inc!

This stuff sells itself.

If I can make a living

selling what I sell,

can you imagine what

I would do with your products?

If you don't hire me, you are a...

stupid man.

"Why do I keep wandering"

"around the world?"

Greetings uncle!

- Greetings!

Ayan, did you get the job?

Thanks for the jacket.

Greetings!

- Greetings!

What happened Ayan?

How come you're so late?

We were worried.

The interview didn't go well?

"The time has come to bow my head."

- He got the job.

"O my, Almighty!"

- You got it!

"O my, Almighty!" x

- You got the job!

"O my, Almighty!"

- He got the job!

Why are you shouting?

- He got a job with Lasta!

Wow! Ayan, you got the job.

"O my, Almighty!"

I told you, you're my lucky charm.

I always had faith in you.

I'm so happy you got the job.

What is your salary?

I forgot to ask...

Wow chocolates!

- Its Lasta. They will pay well.

Go away. These are not for you.

Mum let them take

some it's for them.

No, no. We need sweets

for people who come to visit us.

Oh, mom!

Here you go.

Ayan, you said the

advert in the newspaper

was for college graduates.

Yet you got the job, What happened?

I told you,

they were impressed

by how well I know my area.

But,

even I was surprised

when I got the job.

Thanks.

There is no proof that

he forged the diploma.

I know. That's exactly

what we're up against.

If they say he forged it,

we have to prove otherwise

that's how defirmaton law works:

guilty until proven innocent.

So they can make up anything

and we have to prove it's not true?

Yes, Yes, you do.

Okay.

Don't come inside, go away.

Thank you for the job sir.

I promise I'll work very hard.

You got the job.

Now let's see if you can keep it.

Raja!

- Yes.

Come here!

So this is your base.

Anything you need,

you'll get it here.

Greetings!

- Greetings!

This is Ayan, the new medical

representative for South-East zone.

Welcome.

- Thank you sir.

Go, get the stuff for him.

He's not "sir" to you,

you are "sir" to him.

So this is what you'll be selling.

These are the keys

that will help you unlock

doors to meet doctors...

nurses and pharmacists.

You can even have

some for yourself.

For your relatives,

but close family only.

Sign here.

This is very important for you.

Imprest money! That's

what our accountants call it.

But I call it "impress money"

because we use

it to impress people.

Find out which doctors

have the most patients

befriend them and if need

be spend "impress money" on them.

But remember,

results should accompany

every expenditure.

Sure.

There are four classes of doctor.

Doctor Saleem is triple A.

He has 300 newborns every month.

He has two kids,

and he likes football very much.

He is very religious.

Take good care of him.

Then double A class,

A class, and "just doctors."

"Just doctors" are a waste of time.

Sign up the triple

As and the double As.

Learn everything about them.

Everything means everything!

Befriend them and they

will recommend our products.

It's as simple as that.

Greetings! How are you?

- Greetings!

This one is young,

probably not many patients

and by the way he dresses

you can see he is greedy.

So don't waste your time on him.

Anyway, your job is to make

sure that every baby born here...

is a Lasta baby. Got it?

Farida!

Farida!

Take this.

You didn't have to!

Thanks for your kind gesture.

I'm sorry we kept your

son's shoes for so long!

Why are you talking like this?

Come in, let's have tea.

Oh Taslima, so many gifts?

You know how Ayan is.

Ayan said, "Please Mum,

give these to Aunty Farida."

"I don't care if there's

nothing left for us."

You are very lucky Taslima...

He is God's gift.

What are you doing?

The black boxes mean

those doctors are mine.

Ah, Dr. Nawaz is also mine.

Are you going to growl like this

every time you do this, Mr. Lion?

I'm a Tiger, actually.

Oh, I am sorry.

My mistake, I didn't realize

that was a tiger's growl.

Ayan...

Oh, no Ayan,

not that, please, not that.

Oh, no Ayan,

not that, please, not that.

Oh no Ayan, not that, please...

- Growl tigress, growl!

Ayan!

"Uselessly..."

"It is now you

who has mislead me, my beloved."

We should get our own place.

You don't even know

how much they're paying you

and we're already talking

about getting our own place?

I thought tigers only growled

when they have caught their prey.

Greetings!

- Greetings!

I am from Lasta.

I need some information.

Please speak to

the doctor directly.

I will, of course, but...

Oh, please have this. I know you

work hard all day and all night.

No, thank you.

Please. I get all this for free.

Okay, no problem.

Well... I guess...

I could share it

with my colleagues.

No... this is just for you.

I have more for them.

Thank you.

Your Dr.

Faiz sounds very interesting?

Yes... but don't try

to give him chocolates.

Not even for his birthday?

He doesn't celebrate his birthday.

You can give us his

share of chocolates.

I don't think he eats chocolates.

Would your magic bag happen

to have lipsticks in it too?

I can get some if you need them.

Really?

- Yes.

So tell me...

What does Dr. Faiz like?

What are you doing here?

I have an appointment with you.

Oh...

Looks like it's been

a tough day for you.

We can meet later.

No. It's alright.

In any case,

you are not the last one.

Okay...

Why don't you use these

10 minutes to relax.

Call home or read a paper.

Use these ten minutes as a break.

I'll sit here and check my notes.

Are you sure?

Yes, you guys are heroes,

you save lives...

This is the least I can do.

I forgot...

this is for you.

Please... keep it.

Thank you very much... can I...?

Sure. It's yours.

As a junior doctor

you're very vulnerable.

And it's very flattering,

when a medical reps

knows the music you like.

It's called investing in

people and before you know it,

you're trying to please them

by making sure your hospital

only stocks their products.

And when your hospital

only stocks their product,

then so do all the

surrounding pharmacies.

You have to ask yourself

are you a great guy

or are you so popular because

you have so many patients.

Faiz... I have the same poster.

Well, this is an original photo.

No!

Where did you get it?

How about a game now?

What? Now? How can I leave?

There are medical representatives

outside waiting for meetings.

Sahil!

- Howzzat?

The English are so boring.

They're playing for a draw.

How are my products selling?

Going well.

And what about the competition?

Seems like they are

playing for a draw as well.

That's not good enough.

I want them out.

I can't just kick them out.

Yes, you can. You just lack faith.

Maybe I could get you

tickets for the final test.

Would that restore your faith?

Greetings!

- Greetings!

I'm glad I ran into you.

I have a proposal for you.

I'm organizing a dinner

for all the pediatricians.

I thought you might

like to sponsor the dinner.

That way you can meet

all the best doctors

and you can make friends

in other hospitals.

You can save a

lot of time this way.

Sure... I think I might

be able to help you with that.

I knew you were the

right man for the job.

Goodbye!

- Goodbye!

Ayan!

I was worried the doctors would

have to pay for their own dinner.

Come, let me introduce you to them.

Come.

You're going to love this.

You will be very happy.

Let me introduce you to someone...

and you will thank me

for the rest of your life.

Dr. Malik...

- Yes.

May I present Ayan Rashid.

- Greetings!

Greetings!

- He is a Lasta representative.

Okay.

- Ayan, meet Lt. Col. Dr. Malik,

the new Head of

the Military Hospital.

It is a pleasure to meet you.

- Thank you.

Can I talk to you about

our range of products?

Why don't you come

to my office next week

we can sit and talk.

Thank you very much!

- You are welcome!

Thank you.

- Come.

Dr. Salim...

- Hi Maggi.

Maggi, this is Ayan.

What is the meaning of

the Lasta sign at the entrance?

Well they have generously

offered to pay for the dinner.

We're not going

to make a presentation

if this is a Lasta event.

But who will pay

for the dinner then?

It's them or us. Take your pick.

Maggi.

Who's that?

Maggi. She works for The Hub.

What do they do?

Nothing much.

They are just a pain in the neck.

Okay if you don't mind

don't pay for the dinner.

But what is their problem?

They work with the UN and

the World Health Organisation.

They just don't like

multinational companies.

That is their problem!

Anyway... you carry on.

I have to meet a few more doctors.

Greetings!

- Greetings!

How are you?

I am going to Karachi

to get a Masters degree

in public health care.

Your friend has been

awarded a scholarship!

That's wonderful. Congratulations.

Thank you.

But you don't look happy.

No I am...

I was just wondering who

will I beat at cricket now.

Oh you wish!

When was the last time

you beat me at my own game?

How were the doctors' wives?

Oh, at first they ignored me.

Then they started talking

about how much their husbands earn,

and when I told them you

are making 30,000 Rupees a month...

They suddenly became friendly.

But I'm not making 30,000.

How will they know?

Now they think that you make

more money than their husbands.

What's the problem with that?

Ayan, I did all this to

build your image... so it's fine.

Let's go.

Oh God!

Oh God! What happened

to my Tiger's growl?

Greetings!

I heard you've become

friends with Lt. Col. Malik.

Too bad you didn't

meet him a few months ago.

Sign here.

Just a formality.

It seems you have a lot

of fans among the doctors.

They seem to have only

good things to say about you.

You are a really lucky fellow.

So... it's time to

expand your frontiers.

I want to conquer this region.

I want Lasta displayed everywhere.

Shops, gas stations,...

pharmacies, etc..

Okay.

Zainab!

Zainab!

Come down...

We were so happy.

Ayan, how long was it until Dr.

Faiz came back from Karachi?

About two years?

Yes.

Our brand is recognised

and used worldwide.

You want the best for your

children and this is the best.

It's now available

in soft packs too.

Zainab, you shouldn't be carrying

Umer while you're pregnant.

I am alright.

What are you doing here?

We are here to take

part in the competition.

I've told you time and again,

we can't enter.

Of course we can...

our child is cutest of them all.

Mum, I am organizing this contest

and my son can't take part in it.

Oh my god! Why? Are you

planning to bribe the judge?

It's about principles!

It's alright.

As long as you follow the rules.

We also know right from wrong!

Greetings Ayan!

- Greetings!

I need some prescription pads.

Sure... come.

Aman, look in the front!

Darling, look ahead.

By God's grace!

He's really cute.

These papers came

in from head office...

And they said it's

mandatory to read them.

More paperwork.

Greetings!

- Greetings!

Please take this.

- What's this?

It's a gift.

You're very kind hearted.

- Anything for you sir.

Do you have any extra gifts?

Yes, of course.

This is for your two boys.

Goodbye!

- Goodbye!

How does he know

I have two children?

Ayan knows everything,

about everybody!

Faiz, you're back?

How are you?

- Fine.

Did you get your Masters degree?

- Yes.

That's great!

When did you get back?

A few weeks ago.

You should have called me.

Listen, I've moved house...

- Congratulations.

We're organizing a conference

on infant nutrition

at the Pearl Continental Hotel...

You should come.

We can catch up there and...

- Dr. Faiz.

She's getting worse. Please come.

Are you still working for Lasta?

- Yes.

Come with me.

I want to show you something.

What happened?

Acute dehydration

caused by diarrhoea.

Is there nothing you can do?

All her internal

organs have collapsed.

All we can do is pray.

I'll go.

- Wait...

I'd like you to stay.

After all,

you work in child nutrition.

This is very common here.

It's the 5th case this month.

Why is it so common?

Because of people like you, Ayan.

What?

This lady here,

she has two other children.

Only this one is unwell.

Do you want to know why?

She breastfed the other kids

and gave this one

your company's formula.

The one you've been

selling so passionately!

Most of my patients are illiterate.

They don't have

access to clean water.

They mix your company's formula

in filthy water and

give it to infants.

The kids get diarrhoea.

Breast milk provides a natural

immunity your formula can't give.

These babies are dying because

of your company's formula.

And this is happening every day.

Why didn't you tell

me about this two years ago?

Because I didn't know

until I went to Karachi.

So, if the doctors

prescribe formula

why would I think there's

a problem with the product?

They prescribe it because

you put pressure on them

by giving them gifts and money.

Look. It's great,

you've learned something.

Now, go, do what you have to do!

Raja.

- Yes, Sir.

Where is Bilal?

He has gone to Lahore

for a few days.

Tell him to call me.

Okay.

'Come on, make it fast. Come on!'

Greetings! - Greetings!

Listen Ayan,

I'm sorry I was tough on you.

When we banned formula

in the Karachi Hospital,

the babies just stopped dying.

It was like a miracle.

Just imagine...

all the mothers have to

do is breastfeed their babies.

Look.

A mother of twins was told

she should feed one

of them with milk formula.

The child that was breastfed,

is healthy and alive.

And the other one

died the day after

this picture was taken.

There was lot of

debate about this photo.

I've seen suggestions

that might be staged.

She posed for the photo

to warn other mothers.

Her daughter died after

the picture was taken.

Faiz is one of your key witnesses,

you are relying on him to validate

important points of your story.

If he endorses this

photograph on screen

and you can't prove

the story behind it,

then you risk undermining

his credibility.

Did he even endrose

in his statement?

No.

- No.

It was only after I went to karachi

and saw how people

really lived in the slums

that I connnected the dots.

But, before that I did exactly

what Ayan was paid to make me do.

I used to prescribe his formula

and helped sell these women

something they didn't even need.

So, after Karachi

I banned the sales reps.

And I showed Ayan the truth.

But, it never occurred to

me that he would do what he did.

What's wrong Ayan?

I am resigning.

What do I tell Bilal?

Someone has rightly said

why live the easy life when

you can make things complicated?

Don't you think I

deserve an explanation?

Babies are dying

because of our products.

How's that for a reason?

Don't tell me you've

fallen for that NGO shit!

It's not our fault Ayan...

if the government gives

filthy water to people.

You knew about this?

I had no clue...

I really have nothing more to say.

Don't try and act innocent Ayan!

You read the Charter...

so you know the rules!

Ayan!

'Lasta doesn't give incentives

to its staff based on sales.'

'Doesn't give financial

or material incentives'

'to health professionals'

'for the purpose of

promoting infant formula...'

'Lasta will take

disciplinary measures'

'against any Lasta personnel'

'who deliberately

violate this policy.'

They gave me money

to do all these things

and here they say they

will punish me if I do them.

I have a cupboard

filled with receipts

and invoices for all the incentives

I'm not supposed to have given out.

I have letters

from Lasta confirming

they allowed me

to buy these things!

If you can prove that you did

all this under their instructions

and you have all the receipts.

There's nothing they can do.

Lasta Foods is one of the

biggest companies in Pakistan.

Our government needs their support.

The Government is always

going to side with them.

So all the things you have

been telling me mean nothing?

I didn't tell you to quit your job

or to attack one of the biggest

food companies in the world Ayan.

So, might is right in your eyes?

I'm just a doctor in a small town.

I can't take responsibility

for the whole country.

They fired you?

No, I quit.

Are you pulling my leg?

Why would someone leave that job?

I'm not pulling your leg.

Here, I have this new range

of antibiotics, made in Pakistan.

They're a fifth of the price.

You know I can't take those.

Thank you.

Yes.

Greetings!

Next!

Read!

'I, being a responsible

citizen of Pakistan,'

'keeping in view the

illegal and unethical ways'

'adopted by your company,'

'hereby direct you

to stop your business'

'of infant food

manufacturing in Pakistan'

'and withdraw all your

infant food products'

'from the Pakistani markets'

'within 15 days of receipt

of this Legal Notice.'

And of course the evidence,

the receipts.

As a precaution,

we will keep them in a safe place.

Why?

We will just send

photocopies with the letters.

When the court demands the

originals, we will hand them over.

Until then, we will keep them safe.

Lock them away.

Greetings!

- Greetings!

Come in!

Greetings!

- Greetings!

Thank you for coming.

Thank you.

These are the statistics

from my hospital in Karachi.

I hope they are useful.

Please let me know

how else I can help you?

With God's grace!

We should put them

all in separate postboxes.

Let's go.

Look what we brought you.

I am trying to save

every Rupee I can

and you're buying rasmalai?

Have some...

Rasmalai... please have some.

How is it?

- It's good.

Do you want some more?

What's the matter?

Take me to the hospital.

How is Zainab?

Faiz says she's okay.

- Greetings!

These two letters came for you.

They're offering

to pay my expenses.

Do they think we are doing

all this for 20,000 Rupees?

We will teach them that

money can't buy everything!

Greetings!

Ayan Rashid?

- Yes.

Congratulations! It's a girl.

Thank God!

Ayan was very angry

that they tried to make him pay for

damage to his company motorcycle.

But, as soon as the

Legal Notice went in,

they agreed to pay the 20,000.

But they didn't

respond to the demands

that they stop marketing

infant formula,

So he sent the notice to

the World Health Organisation.

And that is when things

started to feel very dangerous.

Follow him.

- Okay.

There he is.

Come on!

Hey, you! Stop!

Greetings!

- Ayan!

The WHO has copied your letter to

the local district health officer

alleging unethical

practices by doctors.

So now the whole town

knows what you're up to!

The accusations you have made.

The names you have given.

Everyone's worried.

Doctors are refusing

to meet representatives.

What were you thinking?

I am doing what I think is right!

Yes, but you are forgetting

that you are just a salesman.

Please...

Please leave.

And please don't come back.

Thank you.

Hello!

Faiz!

Are you alright?

They came to my house.

Bilal, and another man.

I think he was his boss.

They said that no

one would be spared...

and that I am risking mine and

my family's life by supporting you.

What?

How do they know you're involved?

I don't know.

Ayan... What's going on?

Nothing. Go to sleep.

Hello...

Hi, I am Ayan.

Yes, I remember.

You work for Lasta.

Not anymore.

I used to work for Lasta.

I am Dr. Faiz.

So, how can I help you?

Why did you keep all

these receipts and letters?

They give me money

to impress the doctors.

I have to be able to

prove what I spend it on.

You kept very thorough records.

Is that all you have to say?

We need time to check

your allegations. - Time?

How much time do you need?

How many more babies should

die before you decide to trust me.

I'm not the one who

was selling this stuff.

You are right, I was.

Look, you can leave the receipts...

- I don't think so.

Let's go Faiz.

He is a good man and

he really needs your help.

I'll send you copies.

Hello?

Yes Colonel.

I am fine, how are you?

Yes.

Yes the Pakistani products... yes.

Whenever you say, I will come.

Yes. Thank you.

Goodbye!

Greetings!

Greetings!

Do you want some tea?

- No.

Where are you going?

Stay at home

take care of yourself and kids.

Is everything alright?

Everything is alright.

Dad will stay with you.

Goodbye!

Goodbye!

- Goodbye!

My angel...

I've spent 20 years in the army,

never had any problems,

and now this.

What do you think

you are doing Ayan?

How dare you mention my

name in all your legal nonsense?

I want you to find a

solution to this problem, now.

Colonel, there are

babies dying every year...

Don't mess with us boy.

What are you getting out of this?

Nothing...

- Ayan...

It's not too late.

The company will take you back.

I'm not joking.

- I'm not coming back.

Sorry?

I'm not coming back.

You're mad.

Think about your family, Ayan!

What about my family?

Are you threatening me?

You've accused people

of taking bribes.

You've made a lot of enemies.

I don't have to threaten you.

Do you know what

you're playing with?

You do what you want to do

and I'll do what I have to.

Ayan, stop.

What do you think this is?

A street market? You can

walk in and out as you please?

Colonel, you are a father yourself.

Imagine if your sons died?

Soldier!

- Yes sir!

How would you feel?

- Keep this man under guard.

"O my Almighty!"

"O my Almighty!"

"O my Almighty!"

"O my Almighty!"

You should choose

your battles carefully.

Sometimes peace is

better than being right.

These people could buy

the whole government of Pakistan,

put it in a box, wrap it up with

ribbons and sell it as a souvenir.

You can fight with them,

but you can't win.

'And this is the diarrhoea ward'

'of the National Institute

of Child Health in Karachi.'

'You may find this scene as

distressing as we did filming it.'

'But it's a common

event in this hospital.

'This little girl

was badly malnourished'

'and then dehydrated after

several bouts of diarrhoea.'

'She was so sick,

when other complications set in

'there was little

chance of saving her.'

'There are wards like this in every

hospital we saw here in Karachi.'

'Cases are tragically similar.'

'The pattern is being

repeated around the country.'

What's going on?

Ayan...

Maggi's been through the evidence.

She thinks it's great.

She has spoken to some people.

You should see this video.

Greetings!

First of all apologies

for the other day.

I had no idea until you

presented this

unbelievable material.

This is incredible evidence.

I've never seen this

in 20 years of working

and I just wanted to say that

no one from inside

has ever produced this.

This kind of information

and this is a smoking gun.

What is she doing here?

What do you mean?

Ayan.

What's going on?

I have no idea.

What's wrong?

Zainab, this is too dangerous.

I can't risk your life or the kids.

Don't you dare use

me and our children

as a reason to

not do what is right.

Did you tell her how

dangerous this can be?

How dangerous these people are?

What could happen to my family,

did you tell her?

Ayan...

Ayan.

If you do this,

we might be ruined forever

but if you don't do this,

I won't be able

to respect you again.

I wanted to protect my family,

my children.

Zainab wanted to protect

everyone's else children.

Take care of yourself.

- Don't worry.

Goodbye.

Ayan let's call it a day.

It's probably around lunch

time in Torronto. - Okay.

And it's dinner time here.

Bye.

= Bye.

Listen Ayan.

Speak to you tomorrow.

Hey, Frank do you

wanna stay for a drink?

Ahh... I'm already late.

I'll see you tommorow.

Bye.

- Bye.

We are definitely

changing those names.

Why? - Because we gave him a chance

to tell the truth and he didn't.

What do you mean?

Why would Ayan decide to

fight after he was being threatend?

He realised that his evidence

could make a difference.

Saint Ayan.

Come on, Maggi.

We heard some stories in

pakistan that we can't ignore.

Look we worked on this for months.

We checked and double

checked the documents.

What are you telling me?

I want to hear the truth.

I'm this close to walking

away from this project.

Do you understand?

Maggi you know how this goes.

If there are any holes

in the story they will kill us.

Tell us. What happened?

This is really good.

They authorised a gift of

an air conditioner to a doctor.

Ayan we need a chain of evidence.

Letters from your supervisors,

copies of cheques.

You say they put

cash in your account.

But can you actually

prove you used the cash

to pay for the air conditioner?

But what does it matter?

Bilal approved it, look it says...

'Ok, but sales must go up...'

Can you prove you

spent the money for it?

I'm tired of this.

Greetings!

Greetings!

- Are you okay?

Welcome to my new home!

Hello Maggi...

Dr. Faiz how are you?

- Good.

Look.

Looks great!

- Thank you.

Not sure about the colour yet.

We'll see...

You should talk to Ayan.

- Why?

If we try to publish

this in Pakistan

we can't guarantee his safety.

And this may never

see the light of day.

So...

We need international support.

In the meantime we

need to keep him safe.

Yes.

You know what people

are saying about you?

According to them you

are the worst guy around.

And they feel you have

a hidden motive behind all this.

Honestly speaking

half the city is looking for you!

Are you okay?

Yes, I am fine...

don't worry about me,

you take care of yourself.

Thanks very much for coming!

Maggi...

What did she want?

- Oh, she's a nurse.

She came to see if

we needed any volunteers.

She's not a nurse.

She's a Lasta executive.

What? No.

I've seen her before.

"God is the greatest!"

"God is the greatest!"

"God is the greatest!"

Michael is a friend

and a very good journalist

and he is going to make a

documentary film on Ayan's story!

We will launch this

the same day as the

film comes out on German TV.

We have a slot for the

film in about a month...

But to make a big splash

we need Ayan to come

back with us to Germany

to do the press and the publicity.

I can't leave my family here.

Ayan, it's not going to be long.

How long?

A month, I guess.

For the launch and the publicity,

we need to do for the

whole story to come out.

So be it.

Even if it takes longer.

I will look after the family.

Let's have some tea.

Dad, am I invisible

all of a sudden?

You are my son.

And I am proud of you.

But sometimes you have to let your

parents make decisions for you.

Let's have tea.

This is not about publicity, is it?

No...

If he is here when this goes public

well, there are going to

be a lot of angry people around.

When this goes on TV in Europe,

do you think...?

He will come back as a hero.

I promise you.

And everyone will have to listen.

"You are my peace of mind."

"You are my serenity."

"You are the reason

my life is beautiful."

"Although the world is..."

The population is

growing so fast that

the potential market

for formula is enormous.

Five million babies are

born in Pakistan every year

and this number is

just going to increase, so

the potential hazard that

this could cause is enormous.

It's not just the filthy water.

Parents want the western brands

marketed by international companies

because they make them think

their kids will be smarter

if they drink formula milk.

But some mothers can't afford it,

so they dilute it.

Just one spoonful less,

who's going to notice?

Well the babies do.

They lose weight,

they get ill and die.

The World Health

Organisation claims

breastfeeding could save up

to 1.5 million babies every year.

1.5 million babies every year.

"O, Lord... Lord have mercy!"

"O, Lord... I bow to You!"

"O Lord!

"O Lord!

1.5 million babies every year.

"O, Lord... Lord have mercy!"

"O Lord!

"I bow to You! O Lord..."

Pray for me.

Please do it yourself...

I am not sure if my

prayers will reach so far!

Come here...

Dad, how will you manage?

Don't worry about us.

I will go back and

collect a few things.

I mean...

how can we survive without a VCR?

Now this is what we call progress!

Please take care!

- Goodbye!

Goodbye!

- Goodbye!

Goodbye!

'Flight QR615 on the tarmac.'

'It is taxying...'

Is that for hire?

In Germany,

all the taxis are Mercedes?

Yes.

But then...

what does your President drive?

Your car, Mr. President.

Do you agree your product

should not be used

where there is

no safe water supply?

We gave all the evidence

to the institutional people...

Yes or no.

Yes, but listen, this is

not the point we should talk.

Where the people are so poor

that they are going to dilute it

and that's going to endanger

health, it should not be used?

Of course not.

But like I said before,

this is not the point...

What is your corporate

responsibility

to find out the extent

of the use of your product

in the developing parts of

the world in those circumstances?

We cannot have that

responsibility. - Why?

We have a massive product, you see,

We have thousand of babies dying...

We have a product...

Ayan...

Look...

"Scandal Um Babymilch"

(Scandal in Baby Milk)

Oh, this is so good.

Before this problem...

- Listen... listen...

The people, the Pakistani people...

I'm not sitting here

and letting you...

Who are poor...

- treat me like a criminal.

I am sorry!

- Excuse me!

I don't want to treat

you like a criminal...

I just want to come back

to my question... - Excuse me!

One thing is sure, this programme

is going nowhere. - What...

'Programme promises

devastating new evidence'

'of multinational companies

putting profits'

'before the lives of babies."

Yes...

- Hey, that was great.

You should be proud of yourself.

This is going to be huge.

I have to continue with the edit.

Nervous?

You're going to be great.

Trust yourself.

Come with me please.

Why?

- Come with me.

Come with me.

- What is it?

I don't know.

But we'll find out pretty soon.

So, what's going on?

Ayan.

Listen, I want to settle this issue

but I can't authorise any amount

as I have to first discuss

with our top management.

I can't decide on

this issue on my own.

The company sees your

action as blackmail.

I want to settle this

issue once and for all.

And if you don't solve this

those people who are behind me,

they will take action.

Do you understand?

How much does your

management have in mind?

$60,000 is a big amount and

requires management approval.

Okay,

Meet me here on Friday

at 3 pm to finalise this.

Is this your voice?

And you had no idea?

Do you think, I would have

gone that far if I'd known?

Come on! That's crap, we've

been working on this for a month.

All your evidence is from the man

you have heard

on that tape Michael.

Excuse me Günther...

What are we talking about?

What is this about?

It was before you came back.

Before you showed me the films.

'These people could buy

the whole government of Pakistan,'

'put it in a box, wrap it up with

ribbons and sell it as a souvenir.'

'You can fight with them,'

'but you can't win.'

'But, if you are smart,'

'this could all work out

very well for you.'

'Hello Bilal.'

'I've spoken to Ayan

I would like you to talk to him.'

'Ayan.'

'Listen I want to

settle this issue,'

'but I can't authorise any amount'

'as I have to first discuss

with our top management.'

'I can't decide on

this issue on my own.'

'The company sees your

action as blackmail.'

'I want to settle this

issue once and for all.'

'And if you don't solve this,'

'those people who are behind me,

they will take action.'

'Do you understand?'

'How much does your

management have in mind?'

'$60,000 is a big amount and

requires management approval.'

'Okay, meet me here on

Friday at 3 pm to finalise this.'

'What's going on?'

'What is she doing here?

- What do you mean?'

'Why did you bring her here?'

'Ayan...

- Tell her to leave... now!'

'If you do this,

we might be ruined forever'

'but if you don't do this,

I'll never respect you again.'

You knew there'd

been talk of blackmail.

"Unsubstantiated"

talk about blackmail.

But not that he actually

set out to get the money.

But he didn't take the money.

That's the whole point.

He never took the money!

Why would Ayan

have sent the Legal Notice

with all his best evidence

to the World Health Organisation

if he was planning blackmail?

I mean look.

17th of January,

he writes a letter to

the W.H.O asking for help.

Right?

28th of january, they write back

saying there's nothing they can do,

copying in the local doctor.

That's when everyone

finds out about this.

But it's nearly another month,

before the meeting about the money.

I mean, he'd be the most

incompetent blackmailer in history.

Hey I've got all

this great stuff on you

and I'm gonna go public on it

unless you give me money.

Except I've already

gone public with it.

I mean it doesn't make sense.

It doesn't mean he wasn't

going to take a pay off.

Yeah, but there's

a world of difference

between considering a pay off

and masterminding a blackmail plot.

And meanwhile there were

thirteen international companies

selling infant formula in Pakistan.

How do we convince Frank?

I spent my time buying doctors.

Why would I have been surprised

when they wanted to buy me?

But think about it.

Why did they tape me?

I mean I was in

a military hospital,

surrounded by men with guns.

If they saw my actions as blackmail

why didn't they arrest me?

Because they didn't want

your eveidence to be heard.

This is stupid.

I gave them the perfect reason

to make sure no-one

would listen to me.

Ayan.

Why did you not take the money?

I went to my father.

And he told me that

no son of his would

be so unprincipled.

And that I would be

a bloody fool to think that

they would give me $60,000.

So, I never went back.

Ayan.

I want you to know

that I believe you.

But they stopped the

German T.V with that tape.

And the same thing will happen

here unless we do something.

I want to include

everything in the film.

You gonna show me as a blackmailer

a lia, a foger?

Maggi told me I

would return a hero.

Well, I have to go to work soon.

I make the best donuts in Toronto.

It's a good local company.

With no multinationals involved.

Ayan.

I'm a lawyer,

I think this film is a risk.

But,

It is do-able, if we do this way.

But we have few problems.

The blackmail allegations they

will make you look, forgive me,

they will make you look unreliable.

And they will say it's anold story.

This is how old the story is.

I haven't seen my wife

or my children

in seven years.

My mother and father died,

I wasn't there.

Frank, this was happening

in Africa in the 70's.

All over Asia in the 80's and 90's

and you just send

a reasearcher to Pakistan

to prove that this is

still happening there now.

It's an old story, that's alive.

It keeps repeating itself.

And that's why we

have to make this film.

Okay, but...

This has to be referred up.

To the very top.

You do what you have to do.

Hey.

Hi, Frank... How are you doing?

I am sorry.

They won't take the risk.

What?

They could sue

us in the High Court.

Here or in Paris or Lahore.

It could cost 100s

of 1000s of pounds,

just to prove it's true.

So Ayan ruins his entire life,

and you are not prepared

to take a legal risk.

It's my job to assess

that level risk.

Oh, yes, yes.

And you are wonderful at your job.

But that's exactly what

the multinationals rely on.

That we obey the rules.

So they can do whatever they like.

I filmed babies dying.

I know this is real.

I don't care what he did.

You can take Ayan out of this story

but the evidence still stands.

And if someone in that corporation

is prepared to go to these

lengths to discredit him,

what does that tell you?

This man has risked everything.

He left his family

in Pakistan and now...

if you don't show the programme,

he can never go back.

I'm sorry.

There's nothing I can do.

Guenther please!

You can't be serious

you're letting them pressurise you?

Who is pressurising you?

Tell me! Who is pressurising you?

Michael! Please calm down!

- Come on tell me! Tell me now!

I can't transmit it!

That's nonsense we

have enough evidence...

"I mourn in my loneliness."

"My beloved,"

"I feel the chill

of our separation."

"I mourn in my loneliness."

"My beloved,"

"I feel the chill

of our separation."

"I miss your lovely voice."

"Your miss your beautiful smile."

"I feel the chill

of our separation."

"This distance"

"fills my heart with tears."

"Dreams of you"

"fill my senses."

"I surrender my dreams to you!"

"I mourn in my loneliness."
