Meher?
Meher, please
-Meher, listen
-Why did you send him
Meher.
Come.
Sakina.
Are the kids okay?
Dara, Ajju, Saadiq
-Where's Habiba?
-She's right here.
-She's sleeping. Quiet.
-She's sleeping!
-Everyone's fine.
-Ismail, Rahim
Yes. Here.
Where's Rahim, Ismail?
-Slowly Is
-What?
Is Rahim
-Where's Rahim? Is he okay?
-He's safe.
He's safe.
I put him on a train.
-So, what
-Two constables saw me, as well.
-Why were you called to the hospital?
-Ahmed was sleeping.
-What do you mean?
-He was in a deep sleep.
-He promised he'd come.
-What are you saying, Ismail?
He was going to be Habiba's godfather.
He broke his promise.
Ismail, please calm down.
You're scaring me.
What happened to Ahmed?
Ismail
Ismail is an honest man, sir.
He's being framed.
He made a big mistake.
We've lost the advantage
we had over Haji and Pathan.
Our only hope is that Rahim
is apprehended.
His testimony will absolve Ismail.
Commissioner Sehgal will try his best
to change Rahim's statement.
They didn't even spare Yunis.
If he testifies against Ismail,
it'll be detrimental to him.
And for us, as well.
Before you get transferred,
I suggest you officially dissolve
Pathan Squad, Arvind.
Rahim said that Haji's men were after him.
He's always been a stupid fool.
I thought the only way to save him
was to send him out of Bombay.
As for Ahmed
I didn't know he had murdered Ahmed.
If I knew, I would've killed Rahim.
I believe you, Ismail.
But I won't be able to help you.
What do you mean, sir?
Rahim's shirt was found in your house
with Ahmed's blood on it.
And the eyewitnesses saw you
drop Rahim off at the railway station.
Haji is pressurizing the Home Minister.
We'll have to shut down the Pathan Squad.
Please don't let that happen.
Let Yunis head it. I'll work under him.
Demote me.
I have no problem working with anyone.
But please don't disband the squad.
Ismail, Yunis has testified against you.
He claims you work for Haji.
What?
Yunis! He would never say that.
I know that you are honest.
But my hands are tied.
Haji played us.
We're left with two choices.
Negotiate with Haji.
And disband Pathan Squad.
Or arrest you.
And investigate further.
Till Rahim is not found,
you will be considered guilty.
And I won't let
my most trusted officer rot in jail.
Sir?
For now, you are suspended,
and Pathan Squad is disbanded.
Commissioner, what's the update
on Ismail's case?
Kaul has agreed to cut a deal.
What about Rahim?
Untraceable.
Looks like Ismail was
the only efficient cop.
We're trying our best, Haji.
We've alerted the state police network.
You're right, Haji.
At least Ismail was an honest policeman.
Unlike you lazy bastards,
living off our money!
-Pathan, how dare you!
-Sehgal.
He's a Pathan from Afghanistan.
When he wants something,
he has to have it.
We want Rahim.
Yunis
Do you think I work for Haji?
No, Ismail.
But now I do.
Listen
You lied, too.
So, don't you preach about honesty!
And what did you get out of it?
Ahmed is dead. Meher is a widow.
It costs you your job and reputation.
So, you
-So, you gave in?
-I did!
I can't risk Razia becoming a widow.
You betrayed the entire police force
to save your brother-in-law.
Now I'm turning over
for my own protection.
I
Ahmed
All of us trusted you.
But, Haji is notorious for playing people.
If Saadiq asks you not to talk to me,
will you listen to him?
And why would he say that?
You spend most of your time with me.
Maybe he doesn't like that.
He doesn't like me very much.
Saadiq is my brother,
and you're my friend.
You're my best friend.
Dearer than a brother.
This moron didn't let me make a call.
Forget it. Let bygones be bygones.
No way.
I don't forget anything!
What do you want?
Three of those biscuits.
You got money?
Not this one. That biscuit.
-This one?
-That's right.
-No, no. The one on top.
-What a little pest!
This one on top?
-This one? Annoying kid.
-The one next to it.
Hey! Stop stealing!
You rascal!
Let's go! Come on!
What the hell are you doing? Hey!
Here catch!
-Should I throw it?
-No! Hey!
Wasim, catch him.
-You cannot catch me.
-Wasim, get him!
-Hurry, run!
-Get him.
Stop the thief!
He stole from my shop.
-Dara!
-Fatty, catch me if you can.
Stop, asshole!
Please give me two lemonades with ice.
-Hang on!
-Here you go, madam.
Dara, stop!
Whose kid is he?
The cream roll will crumble
if you hold it any tighter.
Impossible. I've been saving it for you.
An ice lolly earlier
and a cream roll today. Why?
I felt like it.
-Anything else you want to tell me?
-No.
Fine, then go.
-You're a coward, Dara.
-I don't think so!
Then why don't you say it?
Because you'll tell everyone,
they'll pull my leg.
Why? Are you going
to say something stupid?
I am like you very much.
-Say that again.
-I am like you very much.
I am like you very much.
-Really! Do you like me, as well?
-No. I was mocking you.
What you said means, "We are alike."
-Is it good?
-Yes.
It's from your dad's shop.
Did you say it's for me?
I stole it for you.
But don't tell your old man.
Do you really not like me?
-I'll think about it.
-Check with your dad and let me know.
-Okay, bye.
-Bye.
Have you understood your job?
You're responsible
till the night guard takes over.
It's a part-time job.
You'll be paid hourly.
Sure, sir.
Give him a uniform.
And I want punctuality.
Yes.
How are you, Ismail?
Didn't I tell you
the Devil could also be right sometimes?
That's why I'm going to pray
to drive him away.
Don't make your family's life
a living hell.
Are you here to threaten me?
If I wanted you dead, you would be!
-Join me. It'll make your life better.
-Thanks for the offer.
I'm fine.
If you need me,
I'm here to help you.
Why?
Why do you want to help me?
I see a reflection of me in your eyes.
Maybe dirt has gotten into your eyes.
Cleanse them well.
Haji, why such sympathy for Ismail?
-The food is delicious.
-Thank you, Haji sir.
This is the right time. Kill him.
If Rahim is caught and testifies,
Ismail will be acquitted.
If he gets reinstated,
that will be the end of us.
Should we kill him
because he's vulnerable?
We should, Haji.
I have a better plan.
Killing him won't benefit us.
But killing his pride and honesty will.
It's important to make him our slave.
He knows the inner workings
of the police force.
What happens to the contraband
after it has been seized
He knows it all.
Imagine if he works for us,
we can cover all the losses he cost us.
What if he doesn't agree?
He will. Inshallah.
Inshallah.
Yes.
I'm here now. You can leave.
The manager has asked for you.
Sir, you wanted to meet me?
We can't have you work for us.
-Why not?
-We can't keep you here.
But why?
You're overqualified for the job.
I'm okay with that.
I'm not. I have a family.
You are trouble.
Return the uniform.
There's no position open.
Go bother someone else.
We don't want trouble here.
Try the post office.
Don't bother me.
I don't have a job for you.
There's no work here for you.
We don't want to mess with Haji.
Ismail?
You're back early?
Are you okay?
I won't break.
I won't break.
I won't
No
Saadiq, come upstairs. Hurry.
Why isn't Dara at school?
Sir, please allow me a few days.
I'll pay the entire fee.
Look, Mr. Ismail, we can't work
like this every month.
Even we have to run our school.
I hope you understand.
Sorry, I don't understand English.
We can't give you
this flexibility anymore.
The school has expenses.
And the inquiry against you
What are you implying?
How does that matter to the school?
All I'm asking is for an extension
to pay the fee.
-Are you running a school or business?
-Please calm down.
Look, Mr. Ismail,
you can't talk like this.
Please give me ten to twelve days,
and I'll pay the fee.
I'm sorry, Mr. Ismail.
I can't help you with this.
You may leave now.
Mom, give me some more.
Eat.
The power's out.
Everyone else seems to have power.
Dara, light a candle.
Yes.
-I'm not able to sleep. It's hot.
-Don't bother me.
-Ajju, shut up!
-It's too hot!
The fan isn't working.
-When will the power return?
-Ask Dad.
Dad, why don't we have power?
Dad, it's too hot.
What should I do? I can't sleep.
It wasn't her jewelry that Sakina sold
that day. They were her hopes.
I felt so helpless that I've not been
able to face myself ever since.
Keep this money.
-Shall we offer a sacrifice for Eid?
-Don't even think about it.
There's hardly any food at home.
I don't even have a job.
-A sacrifice is a good deed.
-Only if one can afford it.
And we can't, Sakina.
We can't afford to buy a goat.
Mom, when are we going
to buy the goat?
Ask her again.
Mom, when are we going?
Go to bed.
You all sleep so late every night.
This is becoming a habit.
Get to bed. Now!
Alright, Mom.
-Which one do you want to buy?
-That one.
-The brown one.
-Yes.
How much for it?
-I've already bought it.
-Buy another one.
-Here's the money.
-What should we feed it?
Leaves!
-Get the leaves. I'll get the car.
-Yes, okay.
Good choice.
Dara?
When did you guys get here?
-You should've bought the Andul.
-The Khassi meat is better.
Khassi. Check that one out.
-How's that one?
-It's good!
Should I ask Dad to buy it for you?
Why do we need to buy it?
What's going on in your head?
Don't be scared. Come on.
Uncle, listen! Come here.
-Have you seen my father?
-How do I know your father?
-What's my goat's name?
-What?
Hey, you! Stop!
Thief!
Stop that thief!
Stop, catch that thief!
-Catch him!
-He'll run away! Hey, stop!
Stop!
He's a thief! Catch him!
Stop right there!
I said, stop!
-Hurry up!
-Careful!
-Be careful.
-Don't worry.
Let's hide it quickly.
Dad's not home.
Hurry.
Pass me the rope.
What will we say at home?
We'll say Nasir's dad bought it.
What if Dad checks with him?
Don't worry, my father will agree
to the story.
-Tie it quickly.
-Yes, I'm doing it.
What trouble have you caused now?
Where's the goat?
Will you offer a sacrifice
of a stolen goat?
Yes?
That's a sin.
Whose idea was it?
-His?
-No.
-This is your idea, isn't it?
-Ismail!
Fine. Wait
-Sakina, not today! Don't interfere.
-Ismail!
How dare you steal!
-A thief in a policeman's house?
-Enough!
Ismail, enough. He's a child.
Apologize. Right now.
Why did you have to steal the goat?
Because you couldn't provide one.
Dara!
What what did you say?
-I couldn't? I couldn't provide?
-Allah!
I lost everything
trying to provide for you all.
-You have the gall to tell me!
-Enough, Ismail.
I won't let the Devil in my house.
Am I clear? There's no place
for the Devil in my house.
What are you doing
-I won't break. No matter what.
-Ismail.
-Rascal!
-Stop it, Ismail!
He's our child. Will you kill him?
Come back to your senses.
Wake up. It's time for namaz.
Get up, or you will be late.
Yes.
Oh, Allah!
It's Eid today.
There's a lot of work to be done.
What happened?
-Eid Mubarak, Dad.
-Eid Mubarak, Ajju.
-Eid Mubarak, Dad.
-Eid Mubarak, Saadiq.
Eid Mubarak.
Eid Mubarak.
I wanted to give the boys
some money for Eid.
No gifts on Eid al-Adha, Haji.
I'm a rich man.
I give gifts for all occasions.
Dara like a King, isn't it?
Dara, return the money.
We don't need your money.
Let the kids make their own decisions.
-I'll decide
-Haji sir, Eid Mubarak.
Eid Mubarak, Maulvi.
All good?
Allah is kind.
-The mosque needs to be painted.
-Oh!
And the mosque's caretaker's
salary is still pending
-Consider it done.
-Come to the masjid.
-Let's go.
-After you.
-Let's celebrate, Dad.
-Will we eat biryani at home?
-Yes, Mom will cook some.
-No feast this year.
We'll buy a goat next year.
Mom, is all this for us?
-There's dessert, too?
-Enjoy yourself.
-What's in there?
-Gifts!
-What's in there?
-Biryani.
And kebabs.
Haji wants to speak with you.
Come with me.
Open this.
-Yes, let's see what's in that.
-Let me do it.
There are gifts too.
Ismail, let the kids enjoy their Eid.
I insist.
Taste this.
Let me check what's in this.
-Happy?
-Mom, keep this gift.
Eidi money?
There are so many things here.
-Ajju, share with your brother.
-Yes.
Ismail, this Eid has been good
for both of us.
Bilawal.
We don't spare our enemies, Ismail.
You're lucky
that Haji has chosen to forgive you.
But, remember
I may have a heart, but I am no fool.
One last chance! Join me.
Or this asshole will change his story
for a little dope
and you will land up in jail.
And your family will have to suffer.
So give up
on your fucking principles, asshole!
And come to our side.
At such a time, I am offering you
a chance for a decent life.
Take it.
Ismail, forgive me.
Please forgive me, Ismail.
Mashallah!
You've made a true sacrifice.
The sacrifice of your pride.
Congratulations!
Abdullah.
That day my principles cracked
before my desperation.
My path changed
from one towards Heaven to Hell.
The King has indeed become a slave.
It is said abetting a crime
makes you an even bigger sinner.
For the next ten years
I did exactly that. I was now deep in sin.
