01x04 - Batool's Blast From The Past/Izzat

[bunniefuu]

'As if we didn't have

enough thieves

and junkies in the building already'

'now even murderers are going

be our neighbours!'

'Bloody witch!'

Who is she? - My maid, I told you.

The one who got out of prison.

Can we trust them?

With what?

If you think your husband

is unfaithful

and you need proof, then call us.

Pay us according to your means

and leave the investigation to us.

With all this,

we will also help those women

who are harassed and

abused everyday.

Men will suffer?

Men will definitely suffer!

That's enough! Now moving forward

50 percent pro bono fun

and 50 percent our bread and butter,

cheating husbands.

You betrayed us.

Because I knew

that only you can help us.

If you allow, I can come visit

- Never!

For the record, tell us

why you spent 20 years in prison.

Look madam,

I've explained this so many times.

It's impossible for us to dig

out a 20-year old record.

"I am a witch."

"My eyes cast black magic."

"I wander in the darkness of night."

"My aura will instil fear in you."

"Witch.

- It's my reincarnation."

"Witch.

- It's the end of your story."

4. HONOUR

'Turmeric milk.'

'Keeping men potent since

time immemorial.'

Here.

'She was lucky, got adopted within

a year of coming here.'

'Mr and Mrs Karim Ali.'

'They couldn't have children

of their own.'

May I help you with anything?

There are no marks on the sheets.

Good God, where is the blood?!

How did she tear her hymen

at such a young age?

Bring her here!

Girl!

Batool!

The search for Mehak.

What Batool was feeling

We had no idea back then.

But it was because of Batool

that all of you got busted.

I'm sorry, I don't understand.

Do you remember Shehnaz Khalid?

You know, that investigation

- Forget about what I know, ma'am.

Tell me about Shehnaz Khalid.

Between my husband and I

Our

relations

physical I mean, it's there.

It's all there.

But it's For me

I mean Uh

That thing

- I understand.

Go on.

Sure.

This is

His bank statement.

We have a joint account too.

But this is his personal account.

He withdraws a fixed amount from

this account every weekend.

Sometimes he stays out at night.

He says he's working late from

the staff room. But I

visited the university on Sunday.

No one was there.

Okay.

I will require a few more details.

Like his profession,

mobile number

car registration

- It is

I have it all here.

He won't be

Hurt in any way?

No, that won't happen.

Yes, please. He is mine after all.

We've been married for 20 years.

We've 3 kids.

My sons are in Toronto.

My daughter is in Vancouver.

I tell her to move closer

to her brothers. But

He only eats home-cooked meals

that I cook for him.

After that he might

Go out, if he has to.

My mother always used to say

that the way to a man's heart

is through his stomach.

If you cannot feed him,

you cannot keep him happy.

Ehtesham Khalid.

Age, 50 years.

Three children settled in Canada.

Sociology professor at a university.

Loved by everyone.

But he minds his own business.

He jogs thrice a week.

Other than that,

no other social outings.

Just that he's not home

on some nights.

We've kept an eye on his

house for three days.

He hasn't even stepped out once.

Nothing suspicious on his phone.

No messages.

Social media is also clear.

He likes cats.

A lot! - I've created a profile

and sent him a friend request.

Maybe our respectable professor

is into prostit*tes.

Which prost*tute earns so little?

Someone may be blackmailing him.

- Don't up your status.

You've been sold for less!

- Birthday girl!

Excuse me. - It's my birthday,

don't stop my inner witch today.

Ow!

- Hotel!

Professor is booking

a room in a hotel!

I think, in this price range, it's

likely a three star hotel.

Again, she speaks from experience!

Perfect! Let's track him.

Once we find out which hotel,

we can get inside easily.

Hello?

Event planner extraordinaire.

Hotels are not a problem.

Everyone knows me. Loves me.

- Loves?!

Here she goes

- How do you manage to do that?

Whatever, b*tches.

- Okay, I'm getting late.

I have to go.

- Bye.

Okay, Baby. Happy birthday!

- Bye.

Bye, Baby.

- Bye.

Have fun.

"Say that it's my birthday."

"Say it."

"Say it."

- Look at her!

"Happy birthday to me.

- To you, Baby!"

"Happy birthday to me."

- Come closer, come on!

"Happy birthday to me!"

Nimmo, it's your turn now.

You and a saint!

Like you've never taken anything

in your mouth before!

Enough.

From now, just call me Naeem.

No one will call me Nimmo anymore.

- Check her out!

Nimmo madam has found

her Prince Charming!

Fallen in love with his client!

Either your face cream is working

or it might be my profile photo.

I am getting many friend requests.

You've always been handsome.

I've tried a new recipe today.

Get some rest sometimes.

I will, after I die.

What?

Where did this come from?

Aw!

- You've gone too old?

Sorry.

- Caught some disease?

Look.

- Oh, that's a nice photo.

Princess Silky.

Really?

Installing a tracking device in

someone else's car is ill*gal.

Guilt is a strange thing.

Unfaithful husbands

often use generosity to cover

up their infidelity.

Car, the house

It was all in Shehnaz's name.

Why, Lucifer?

No.

You'll give me an advance notice

before you k*ll me.

I want to die in Dior.

I was cleaning your room.

It didn't happen.

Better this way.

I was never going to get

the 'best mom' award.

Few days ago, I went to see Mehak

My daughter

I went to see my daughter.

I'd to bribe that wh*re

from the orphanage

to finally get her address.

She looked happy.

Did you tell her who you are?

No. I didn't meet her.

She has a family now.

I went by her street thrice.

And I hid behind a tree

So I could watch her.

She loves flowers.

She is very pretty.

Go and meet her.

She is happy without me.

No child is ever happy

without the mother.

Unless and until the mother

is psycho, savage, or a m*rder*r.

Oh, wait a second.

You are all three.

It was a joke.

It was a bit funny, wasn't it?

Teeny bit.

And if you ever call me psycho,

savage

or m*rder*r again

I will k*ll you without any notice.

Oh f*cking psychopath!

Go and sleep. There is a lot

of work to do tomorrow.

Frigid corpse!

Been like this since day one.

My child.

You are the only one I have.

Isn't this so much fun?

Mummy and son bonding time.

- Hmm.

I know I've been busy.

Mom, don't.

I'm not a kid, I know all moms work.

You work too. So just chill.

Cool! We're so old, so big.

Almost like a teenager!

- Mom, enough!

At least tell me what music

you're listening to.

You won't understand.

- Why? Why won't I understand?

Oh, crap!

- Mom?

I'll be back in a second.

Mrs Daruwala.

- Mrs Khan.

I've wanted to apologise for

the longest time, but

I'm sorry.

It's okay, Mrs Khan.

I understand.

These days,

parents and kids are both

under a lot of pressure.

Whose child is this?!

Where's his mother!

What's wrong?

- You're his mother?

Tell your mother what you did!

Did he take something Did you

steal something, Salaar?

I'm sorry, what did he

- He touched me.

What?

- You want me to say it again?

No, I

- He pinched my behind.

Pinch

Is this true? You wouldn't do that.

- Why will I lie?

Of course it's true!

Uh

I don't know what to say.

Well, say that you'll teach

him some manners!

Move.

Which 8 year old boy pinches a grown

woman? - It was big, right?

You thought so too.

What?

- Her bum.

It was huge, right?

Jesus! Salaar, it's never okay

to touch a woman or anyone.

I'm sorry, it's

Hey, you can never do that again!

Get it?

Jamil.

- Babe, boys will be boys.

You're excused, young man.

You'll teach them tennis, math

cleanliness but not basic manners.

Doesn't it bother you that your

- Come on.

Everyone does this at this age.

I mean, not exactly this, but

Boys are just curious

about the human body.

I mean, if at his age

a big bum got into my face

I'd want to tap it.

Clearly, your DNA is winning here.

Hey!

Extra classes?

Exams are around the corner.

I'll be very late tonight.

You smell nice.

Boss. How do I look?

How do I look, boss? Dinner?

Will you go for coffee with me?

f*cking

With Dilbar.

Can we go for dinner? For dinner.

You're a f*cking as*h*le,

you stupid m*therf*cker!

Will you go?

Yes, she will.

He's still at home.

Hi!

Hi.

How do I look, boss?

Smart! Very smart.

Wow!

Thank you, boss.

Will you've dinner with me tonight?

Or whenever you want to?

Here he comes!

He's getting out.

Okay, boss.

Ladies!

Yes, there. Day's Inn.

You go in, we're coming.

Can I come?

- I think we got this.

I'm taking Zubaida along.

Muhammad Ali, let's go!

Keep an eye on her.

No beating anyone up.

Come on, move.

Take care of everyone.

I do that any way.

Very cute!

Cute yourself!

Hello.

Have we met before?

Is your mother at home?

Yes. Come on in.

Are you kidding me?

Get to the hotel. I need a nanny for

the baby 'churails' (witches).

Hello!

Trust me, we've been looking.

Professor made the payment

and went upstairs alone.

No girl came.

Just families and couples.

Hi!

Listen, bit of an odd one.

I want a guest's room number.

It's against the hotel policy.

Yeah, I know but

I'm Jugnu Chaudhary.

I'm sure you are.

But I can't help you.

You are bribing me?

Bribe?

What a dirty word, absolutely not!

Because I can report you for

that in 'New Pakistan'.

And anyway, no amount would make

up for the way you insulted me.

Me?

- Yes, you.

I was helping out at

a Glasshouse event.

You passed me by,

waved and said, 'Hello, big whale!'

I would, never ever, ever

Do such a thing. No.

- Right.

I've heard that you're

an alcoholic

and you never remember anything.

But you humiliated me.

I cannot help you.

Look I'm

I'm sorry. Truly.

And for what it's worth,

you've clearly lost a lot of weight.

And if what I said had

any contribution

Okay.

No help.

'Going up.'

- Which floor?

First.

It's cool.

You look fabulous.

You're welcome.

b*tch.

Jugnu, madam!

Ali Raza!

You are here now?

- Yes, madam.

How wonderful!

I'll lose my job.

You won't.

And even if you do, this is more

than six months of your salary.

Count it.

Thank you.

So you've just moved to this street?

Yes, a few weeks ago.

Your daughter is beautiful.

Isn't she!

And very skilled at domestic work.

She does everything

around the house.

I just want to get her married

- Mom, what's wrong with you?

I'm only 18 years old.

18 years?

I thought

- Yes, but

you know it's so much easier

to adjust when you marry young.

Is your older daughter

already married?

Older daughter?

Farah's my only child.

She is God's miracle!

We tried everything we could.

But nothing worked.

Then out of the blue, we were

blessed. - So are you saying

you don't have another child?

Yes, that's what I'm saying.

- But you adopted a child.

Mehak. She must be around 26.

No, 27 now.

Farah, go upstairs.

I said, go upstairs!

Who are you?

Here. Stop. Pause.

Forward a little.

Enough.

Pause. Can we zoom in?

Is that the fifth floor?

Yes, it is the fifth floor, and

Hold on,

let me tell you the room number.

It is room number 517, madam.

This isn't allowed.

- What isn't allowed?

Eunuchs are not allowed in.

Nonsense! The registration office

can give me an ID card

but you can't let me into

this whorehouse of yours?

Move from here, you as*h*le!

- Wait, eunuch!

Enough now. Leave.

- Get lost.

I hope your ba*ls catch fire!

f*cking b*stard!

How dare you come here!

I had to see her.

I thought

- That Farah is Fauzia?

We changed her name.

Where is she?

I don't have to meet her.

Give me a photo, I'll just look

at that. - She hated you.

She would have nightmares about you.

What happened in front of her

After that

Why are you talking like

she's not here anymore?

No one went in that room

apart from him.

Maybe someone came before,

let's rewind.

See! I told you.

Out, ma'am.

- Actually

Just a minute.

- Escort her out please.

Touch me. Go on!

- Let's go.

Then see what I do!

- Come on.

Leave. Come on.

You're still a f*cking whale!

Let's go, let's go!

I'm going!

- Come on, leave.

She was like this from the start.

Failed her classes,

disrespected the teachers

she would come home and insult us.

Boys, alcohol, drugs.

I don't even know where she

got those things from.

What influence would that

have had on our daughter?

She was also your daughter.

You had adopted her.

Made her your own.

In the hope that our love

would shape her right.

But she was your blood after all.

So, what did you do?

We didn't do anything.

She was 15 when she ran away.

Ran away?

Yes.

She was dating this guy.

She wanted to marry him.

Girls say things like

that at that age.

She ran away!

Did you go to the police?

Filed a missing person report?

Did anything?

No.

We finally started living like

a normal, happy family.

f*ck!

Those assholes wouldn't let me in!

They caught me too.

Zubaida is still inside.

Yes.

What's wrong? What's with the face?

I think I saw someone go in.

Someone I know.

Housekeeping!

No, thank you.

I said, I don't want anything.

Thank you.

Clean towels, sir!

I don't need them.

- Should I make the bed?

I'm busy and really don't

need anything. Thank you.

Sir

Hold on. If you

If you could please fill this form

about your experience, please.

It would really help.

Please?

Thank you.

- Thank you, sir. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much, sir.

Thank you.

Come on, Zubaida.

Don't know.

They're in love.

Love? Come on!

This is a straightforward

business transaction.

They are both secretly

Some of us don't have the luxury

of loving out in the open.

How can we blame those who

are helpless? Please!

The truth will destroy them.

Please understand.

Sara, do we abort?

Yeah.

Abort.

We do nothing.

Where have you been?

What are we aborting?

Shehnaz's case.

Ehtesham was at the

hotel with a boy.

It's better to keep that a secret.

So you will lie to Shehnaz?

It's for the best.

Chocolates won't do today.

Do you have a smoke?

Thanks.

Big mama.

This is for you.

How do you know?

It's my job to keep

an eye on everyone.

'People can justify

almost anything.'

'They can make you believe

that they'd no choice.'

'But the truth is,

we always have a choice.'

Hello.

- Where are you?

I'm returning the key and supplies,

and then leaving.

Don't return the key.

No. We decided

'Do you trust me?'

Yes, but

- 'Then do as I say.

Hello.

Shehnaz?

'Churail'?

Give it.

Is she pretty?

You don't have to do this.

Hello, Shams.

I'm making a blunder.

'Going down.'

Details, please.

What?

Where were you all day?

Sara!

"The heart had found

solace there"

"whether you remember it or not."

"Promises were made"

"whether you remember it or not."

"The heart had found

solace there"

Wi-Fi. What's the Wi-Fi here?

What's the Wi-Fi password?

I need to video call and

show the children.

What's the time in Canada?

Give me the Wi-Fi password.

What's the Wi-Fi password!

Stop it!

- You shouldn't have done this!

Behind our backs,

she asked Zubaida

to take Shehnaz to the hotel room!

That poor girl Why?

Because she respects you?

Let go, Batool! Let go!

They can destroy our lives.

Abuse us, betray us.

Take away every ounce

of our happiness.

And yet you will protect them!

The ones living in big mansions

throwing money around everywhere

With all their bullshit

talk about freedom

What would they know

about suffering?

This wasn't about what happened

to you, Batool.

Get her out of my sight.

Before

Before this week ends

I'll be out of here.

Okay.

What would you do if you

were in my place?

I was.

The place was somewhat similar.

And I did what I had to do.

Any regrets?

No.

I'd do it all over again, if I'd to.

I'll stay tonight with Shams again.

Zubaida.

Just like my parents betrayed me

so did you.

So how are you any different

from them?

I did what

Your favourite flowers.

I've never loved another woman

like I've loved you.

But what do I do about

what's inside me?

How do I control it?

This desire to love fully without

fear and inhibition

My life.

My love.

I want to cook.

I should cook, right?

Right?

You've no idea how difficult it's

to make 'nihari' (meat stew).

Chop it, marinate it.

Cook it on slow heat

for a long time

Until the meat is tender.

Sara!

Sara!

How are you?

This is my friend.

- Hello.

I am fine.

Sheila speaks very highly of you.

I wanted to come to the store

and meet everyone.

I miss all of you so much.

I'm glad you didn't.

Don't hate me so much.

I don't hate you. I just don't have

the stomach for lies anymore.

You look happy. That's good.

Yes. I'm doing a soap on TV.

Small role,

but the show has great TRPs!

I've also done a biscuit commercial.

And you know

I've also met someone.

He is sweet. So

- Bye, Sheila.

Let's go.

- What happened to her?

How often do the likes

of us find love, Baby?

Forget love.

How often do we find someone

who doesn't want to tie

us to the bed

and ask us

'sl*t, are you having fun?'

'Here, take it. Take it harder.'

Someone

Who just gives us a hand to hold.

And a shoulder to cry on.

Where will I find this again?

'How do we honour those

who betray us?'

'How do we punish our own being?'

'How do we remain human'

'when no humanity remains?'

'Will we ever be anything more than

this world's bleeding wound?'
