Churails (2020) s01e03 Episode Script

1
There was no shortage in this city,
of women who'd been betrayed.
His secretary has lured him in.
So you turned this mound of
betrayals into business?
Showtime, motherfuckers.
And got an army together
for your adventures.
We have only one agenda.
For women to know the truth
and get justice.
I came here to be a superstar.
But being a spy will have to do.
Hello?
- Zubaida?
Mom. She's calling me back home.
Oh my!
You look so pretty.
It's a 'yes' from me.
'Yes' from our side too.
Stop this! Stop!
Go, Zubaida.
- Live your life.
You and Sara will have to
fulfil your promise.
Apart from the paying clients
we will also take on free cases.
"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."
3. SERVITUDE
"MEN WILL SUFFER"
Nice one, madam!
Investigative work on one side
but you lot were now
using force as well?
Our intention was to do everything
within the confines of law.
But the thing is
When we opened the book of law,
we understood
That the fucking law was
written by you men.
So we thought 'no'.
This isn't right.
We will rewrite the book.
Our fables
Our principles and our rules.
Everything ours.
The gates of justice
burst wide open!
"The king of scoundrels"
"You are a liar, your
love is false."
'Our tiny spark'
'spread like a wildfire.'
'And lit the whole city up.'
"Your love is false.
What do you think, scoundrel?"
'To understand your feelings,
go to a therapist.'
'To learn your rights,
go to an NGO.'
'And when you finally come
to the realisation'
'that the entire system has
been rigged against you'
'come knock at our door.'
"Look at the stick."
"The stick wielded by
your mother, and sister."
"Sharpen your knives;
Prepare the noose for his neck."
"Listen to me carefully."
"Stop your prayers now."
"He moves around freely"
"The scoundrel will be
brought to task."
"The stick wielded by
your mother, and sister."
"The stick wielded by
your mother, and sister."
"Sharpen your knives;
Prepare the noose for his neck."
'Created from your rib,'
'for your protection.'
'Once broken, can be sharpened.'
'Once sharpened,
can become a weapon.'
"Your weakness"
"The stick wielded by
your mother, and sister."
"One bad egg!"
"The stick wielded by
your mother, and sister."
"Sharpen your knives;
Prepare the noose for his neck."
"Say my eyes, stay close to me."
Parents never wish ill
on their child.
They can.
- Don't say that.
All I'm saying is that my dad
didn't give a fuck about me.
In fact,
he probably was happy when I left.
One less person to feed after all.
It was the same with me.
Exactly the same.
Both of you're from Gujranwala,
right?
We both ran away together
15 years ago.
We've been together ever since.
They couldn't leave each other's
sight even in prison.
Why were you two behind bars?
We used to steal cars, nothing much.
Just these ordinary cars
nothing high-end.
We trusted the wrong people,
that's all.
They managed to escape
and we got stuck. Bastards!
Both of you should marry
two brothers.
You can complete each other's
sentences forever!
We are enough for each other.
To do everything!
Oh, really?
Listen, the lights went off.
Don't sleep!
Will you get out?
Come on, let's go. Careful!
What do you want?
We have no money.
Take my wedding jewellery.
I don't have much,
it's in the cupboard. - Be quiet!
I
- She fell from the stairs.
What's that got to do with anything?
- Pinky, no!
Oh, that must have hurt!
Does she fall often?
The stairs are so narrow,
so I keep slipping.
That's an issue then.
The thing is
every time she slips
We will come over here
to beat you up.
What do you mean?
We are aware that it isn't
your fault, dear.
She is the one who falls.
But this fucking life is such.
Someone else pays for
someone else's doing.
Right? Yeah?
Lilac!
Swollen eyes. Bruised neck.
A long scratch on the face.
Small scratches on the arms.
And yes - A nail is missing.
Right or left?
- What?
Nail!
- Right hand.
Good.
Very good.
Will they come again?
No, no.
Don't you worry.
You heard
they said they will come again.
Come on.
Only if I slip from the stairs,
they'll come.
But I won't slip now, will I?
I'll have dinner and
I'll have cake too!
Order as much as you want.
- That looks good.
We will have this white one
and the brown one too.
Make it three of those.
- Let me ask them too.
What's this?
This is a sauce.
It looks like alcohol.
You put this on the cake, right?
We've been deceived!
I thought it's vanilla.
- There are two flavours in this.
What is this? Strawberry?
I thought it is vanilla.
Eat it,
it all goes in the stomach anyway!
Look, they are back.
Look at them.
What are you looking at?
Will you stop troubling us, please?
What? I just clicked a selfie.
I am not asking you to come home.
You don't seem shy, by the way.
In fact,
you look the opposite of shy.
Tight jeans.
What say, do you want to come along?
- What the fuck!
Fuck, I can provide.
And I'll give it as many
times as you ask.
If he fucks you, even I will.
You can't do it with just one of us.
Let's go. Start the car.
Here.
Or kick them hard between
their legs.
They are very fragile down there.
'A brawl in an ice cream shop.'
'Two women covered in
colourful veils'
'attacked two men to cause terror.'
'Are they a part of some female
criminal organisation?'
Hi.
What happened? Why are you upset?
I saw you on the news.
My sexy eyes, praise the Lord!
Sit.
Are you missing home?
You always end up saying
the same thing.
My father tried to trick me but
I want to forget about this.
I'm saying it because, I feel
- What?
Am I doing something wrong?
Answer me.
It is difficult to answer that.
The destination isn't wrong,
but the path is a little crooked.
When you got scared in
the haunted house
I should have understood
that behind this body,
you're a little wimp.
Okay, forget it.
Alright, time to go!
Why?
I won't do anything naughty
in this mood.
Who is asking you to be naughty?
I was hoping for a kiss.
No. Okay, bye!
'A brawl in an ice cream shop.'
'Two women covered in
colourful veils'
'attacked two men in order
to cause terror.'
No worries.
At least we're having fun, right?
- Of course, she wants fun!
You tricked me with your 'fulfil
the promise' nonsense.
We talked about helping
vulnerable women.
Not about causing a scene.
- Our faces were covered!
They were assholes,
had to be taught a lesson.
Okay, Phoolan.
Let us all go to prison then.
You please let it be.
You enjoy it the most when someone
is being beaten up.
Ooh, so fun!
I didn't know that for fun
Okay, enough. Now moving forward
50 percent pro bono fun
and 50 percent our bread and butter,
cheating husbands.
And no brawls in public. Okay?
Yes, let's get back to making
some money, bitches.
Sheila
Your family is here from Hyderabad.
- Mine?
Had fun, right?
We've worked in the bangle
industry for generations.
A decade ago, my leg also
And
Since then,
Aasia was running the house.
After tenth grade,
we sent Shakeela to Karachi.
She made us proud.
First, in that office.
Now here, as your manager.
She used to send us money too.
But still
Life was hard for us.
Debts kept mounting.
'That day, when the contractor
came to our home,'
'both my girls were out
at my brother's house.'
'And I was asleep in the room.'
Get the money out!
Sir, give us a little more time.
I'm arranging for the money.
'I don't even hear well these days.'
'When I came out of the room,
the contractor pushed me'
'and locked me in the room.'
Motherfucker!
- Batool.
Did you inform the police?
When's the funeral?
We buried her yesterday.
We didn't know what to do.
I would have called you, but
You are by yourself
Forgive me, dear.
What did the police have to say?
Police won't listen to us.
Contractors have more power there.
But you've filed a report at
the police station, right?
Yes.
- Alright.
I will make a few calls.
We'll find a good lawyer for you.
You go home.
Stay with them for as
long as you want.
Why don't you handle our case?
You're a lawyer.
- I I cannot.
You're a lawyer. You've studied law.
You can help us.
I cannot go to Hyderabad.
The lawyer needs to dedicate
time there
be present for the hearings.
I
I will pay for it.
Can I have a minute, please?
What?
- What?
Your eyes! They're judging me.
How can we refuse?
Can you talk some sense into them?
I mean, you're a lawyer, right?
Am I missing something here?
We just spoke downstairs about
taking more cases about
cheating husbands.
We need to make money.
I know, but
- Sheila is one of us.
She is family.
Sweetie, this is a murder case.
So, it's very - How many cases
did Sheila help you with?
Now she's asking for your support,
and you're ditching her?
This is emotional blackmailing.
Let's vote.
We vote on every case.
Let's vote on this too.
She'll win.
Okay, fine.
We'll go to Hyderabad with you,
assess the situation
and then make a decision.
When are we leaving?
Who? You?
No chance!
Did you look at your state in there?
Kicking and swearing!
We're taking the contractor
to court, not to his grave.
How come?
If everyone is going, then
You can't leave
You'll supervise everything here,
okay?
Queen Bee.
Babli, come here.
Doesn't anyone else
find it strange
that Sheila's mother passed away
and her father didn't call her?
I mean, they just showed up here.
Obviously, they couldn't give
this news over the phone.
They came here to get her.
Yeah. Makes sense, I guess.
He's fallen asleep.
Sheila, your father said that the
fight took place in the kitchen.
Yes,
that is where it started, but
Perhaps, my mother came here
trying to escape him.
Hmm.
So the murder took place here.
Yes, that's what my dad said.
Uh Whose idea was it
to put this in a bag?
It was mine.
That's what they do in TV shows.
It's evidence.
Bitch,
you're having some major FOMO.
Be quiet.
- Why are you all doing this?
I cannot do all this.
- Handle yourself
or you'll spill everything
to the guests.
Everything's going well.
Just sit quietly.
Come!
Zubaida.
That little one, Rida.
Get information out of her,
they're hiding something.
You are
- Hello, I'm serious.
It's all a bit fishy!
I'll meet another lawyer
in the morning.
We will go to the station
and get the charge sheet.
Ask your father not to worry.
Let's go?
Should I stay here, tonight?
If that's okay with both of you.
Come on.
Dad took us to the park, and
And then,
we went to grandma's house.
Hmm! How is your grandma?
Usual.
Take off your shoes, wash your
hands, don't play in the mud.
'We are responsible for own mess.'
I think, grandma's yucky.
I know, sweetie. But that's life.
We get stuck with yucky people
in yucky situations.
And we remain stuck there
even if we want to get out.
Your grandma is wonderful!
I have to put them to bed now.
Goodnight mommy. We love you.
- No wait, good night.
Jehanara Begum is yucky?
She's fine.
Just that bamboo up her rich ass.
Hey!
You've got a rich ass.
I've got a rich ass.
And speaking of bamboos
Hello, Phoolan!
How many people have you
killed in our absence?
You are the one I'll kill.
Can't you answer my calls?
Now, listen.
I couldn't get my head around
why Sheila's father didn't
inform her
about her mother's
death immediately?
So when we served him tea
Shams hacked his phone and
extracted the call list.
And?
- Over the past two days
the father had called Sheila
multiple times.
She must have known
about her mother.
To decorate others,
our hands get wounded everyday.
I can't even imagine what
you're going through.
If someone did that to my mother
Your parents must be really nice,
right?
'One, two, three, four!'
Yes.
They are great.
'What is this!'
They love me.
They take good care of me.
Whatever I've wanted
They gave me everything
'Be cursed! Disgraceful!'
'Tarnishing my reputation!'
They gave me nothing.
What?
- I was lying.
All my life I've had to bear my
dad's wrath and my mom's silence.
There are all kinds of parents
in this world, Rida.
You're lucky to have had
a mother who loved you.
She's looking after you from heaven.
No, she isn't.
- Don't say that.
No.
She can never go to heaven.
After what she did,
no ones goes to heaven doing that.
We were fine.
We would have been fine.
What was the need for her to
Why did she do that to herself?
Where is Jugnu?
Why are you here?
I'm here!
Bad stomach. All night
Anyway, tell me what's the matter.
I think
Sheila's mother took her own life.
Where did you go?
Sorry, I had to go to the hotel
for some work.
- Bathroom, please. Bathroom.
Where is your father?
He went to visit my uncle.
He's on his way back.
The station
- Come outside with me.
Oh, crap!
You knew about your mother,
didn't you?
Your father had already
informed you.
Sara,
I thought you would take the case
if you saw their plight
with your own eyes.
Sorry,
I know I shouldn't have lied to you.
We think,
your mother committed suicide
with your father's help.
Maybe to escape the debt.
Shakeela
Is everything all right?
She knows everything.
You knew?
There was no way we could
pay back the contractor.
Wow! - Mom didn't want her daughters
to suffer all their lives
Helplessness is a bitch!
Some women sell themselves,
others kill themselves!
We thought if we framed the
contractor, then - Then?
Then what?
Send him to jail, and then what?
You didn't even want to
send him to prison?
That is what my mother wanted.
Alright woman, get my money out!
How dare you barge into my house!
Get out!
What are you doing?
- Get the hell out! - Move back!
Just because you loaned
us some money
you think you own my house?
Leave it! Leave it!
Leave it!
I'm giving you four days.
Mom, are you all right?
Both of you go to Uncle
Rafiq's place.
You
Go. I need some peace here.
Go!
What What are you doing?
Aasia!
Aasia!
Aasia!
Listen to me, Mukhtaar.
This is not your fault.
You did all you could,
for as long you could.
You gave us a roof
fed us, looked after us.
It is neither your doing nor mine
That fate has brought us here.
I could've lived with
your crippled body.
My impaired vision
heart disease
I would have lived with it all.
But Rizwana and Rida
We have to get them out of here.
Give them a better future.
What are you saying? Aasia.
Open the door!
Aasia.
Aasia
Aasia! Aasia
He came here.
He threatened me.
I argued with him.
And he stabbed me!
Mukhtaar, you do whatever it takes.
Get my daughters out of here.
And tell them, their mother loves
them with all her heart.
And my Shakeela
Tell her that she is my pride.
Aasia Don't do it! Aasia!
Zubaida
Where is Jugnu? We have to leave.
She's still inside.
- Sara, wait.
You played me.
For you
I came here to help you and you
lied to me. - Because I knew
that only you can help us.
If you knew the truth
- I would've never come here.
You wanted to use me to send
an innocent man to jail.
Innocent?
He may haven't stabbed my mom,
but he drove her to this point!
Bad people always get away
after doing bad things.
But it is our job to stop them.
Isn't that what you taught us?
Will you all come with me?
We burn here, day in and day out.
Outside, under the harsh sun.
Inside, with these open flames.
Asthma, scabies
TB. You name it and we've
gone through it.
My mother just wanted a way out.
Not just for herself
But for us too.
How's the stomach?
It's better, but don't ask.
Sheila lied to us.
She knew.
One more person lied to me.
Sara, it's not about
- But the issue is
I would probably do what
Sheila's mother did.
A mother can go to any extent
for her children.
I
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean it like that.
No, it's cool.
Do you blame your mom?
I don't even remember her face
Actually.
I remember the guy's face,
who she ran way with.
He had high cheek bones.
But dude, your mom
Your mom had the highest
cheek bones.
And that crazy jaw!
That crazy jaw.
I wonder what they would
say if they were alive.
They would've whooped your ass for
becoming a 'churail' (witch).
That's for sure!
If we go ahead with this
There is no going back.
Why go back?
Hey, Jamil. Listen
I need you to pull some
strings for me.
Have you gone crazy, lady?
The entire neighbourhood
has witnessed
you being abusive with Aasia.
Even using physical force.
That night, you were present there.
Things got heated up
you grabbed a knife from her kitchen
and stabbed her to death.
You're talking nonsense.
You don't know who you're
messing with.
No, hold it!
You don't know who you're
messing with.
Who are you both?
Look, I'm being framed.
I did not kill her!
Please don't insult me in
front of my children.
Wait.
Can you give us a minute?
Please come.
I can make all this go away for you.
But we will settle
this out of court.
You'll forgo the loan
on Aasia's family.
And you'll also pay them 2
million as blood-money.
So, this was all about money?
Buddy, everything is about money.
You know it, I know it.
But I don't have such a huge amount.
Do you know all the different ways
the police can torture you?
Your fingerprints are on that knife.
But I didn't kill her!
Your fingerprints are on the knife.
There's a good lawyer in Hyderabad.
Going forward,
he'll be handling this case.
You know, right?
You can no longer stay
in this neighbourhood.
Remember your promise.
You gave me so much happiness
in such a short span.
Do you really think I'll tell
anyone about you people?
Sara.
If you allow, maybe I can visit
- Never!
So the lawyer helped
settle the loan.
But didn't let Sheila
come back to work.
She was your friend.
Didn't you feel bad?
It's like all of you were enslaved.
We're family, sir.
There is no slavery in family.
I heard.
You people did the right thing.
You can put your mouth to it.
Once there was a tree,
and she loved a little boy.
And everyday the boy would come
and he would gather her leaves
and make them into crowns.
And play king of the forest.
And he would climb up her trunk
"My heart is wet with tears"
And swing from her branches
and eat apples.
And they would play
hide and go seek.
And when he was tired
he would sleep in her shade
and the boy loved the tree.
"I cannot smile any more."
"This is a happy moment."
"There will be light."
'It was only after we turned
a suicide into murder,'
'did it dawn on us,
that truth has many faces.'
'And the search for justice'
'can drive a person to
extreme lengths.'
"I am not being able to live."
'And in a world that is
unjust and two-faced'
'how will we teach our children'
'the difference between
right and wrong?'
'What all will we sacrifice?'
'What limits will we cross?'
"Infused in your breath"
"That moment"
"Is in my dreams."
"Your thought, is mine"
"Stories"
"I am not being able to live."
"This is a happy occasion."
"My love!"
"There will be light"
"The punishment for our sins"
"I am not being able to live!"
Look, madam
I have made this clear many times
that it's impossible for us to
dig out 20-year old records.
And revealing the identity
of the adoptive parents
isn't just unethical,
but also illegal.
For the record
Tell us why you spent
20 years in prison.
I murdered my husband.
I taught him a lesson by running a
hot iron over his private parts.
And then, with the same iron
I smashed his head open.
