And here I was, thinking he was a good man...

look what he turned out to be.

These local thugs are all cut from the same cloth.

Don't waste your breath on them.

I won't... I won't anymore.

Hey...

Hi.

It's customary to say Greetings. What's with the hi?

Greetings.

Where on earth have you been?

We haven't seen you on campus in two days.

Oh, really?

And why is that? Did you miss me?

Terribly.

Not a chance.

Very funny.

It's all good.

My dad is in town,

so I was just spending some time with him.

Anyway, can I get your notes?

Sure.

Please, let's just drop the books for a bit.

I'm starving. Should we grab a bite off campus?

-My stomach's growling. -Mine too.

Off campus?

Why not just go to the canteen?

Oh, come on, you know why.

He can't just eat greasy samosas every day.

The poor guy will get an upset stomach.

He just flew in from America.

Exactly.

And besides, it's a good excuse for me to finally see the city.

You guys go ahead. I'm staying here.

Hey Piya,

I'd really like it if you came along.

What I mean is,

it'd be more fun if all three of us went. It'll be a blast.

What do you say?

Piya, come on, don't be a party pooper.

Please? I'm so hungry.

Okay, fine.

But I only have an hour and a half, tops.

You know I have to be home on time.

Alright, we'll get you back in an hour and a half, I promise.

But what about your guards? Are they coming with us too?

I'll sort it out.

So, shall we?

At least wait till the class is over.

Yeah, sure.

Mine is over there, too.

Hey, Brother, should I get you some tea?

Whoa, did you make this yourself?

I did. Have a taste.

Tell me what you think.

It's a new recipe.

Wow, this is fantastic!

By the way, Brother,

if that window hadn't shattered the other day,

you'd be sitting golden right now.

Just knock it off, Tipu.

How many times have I told you?

So you're saying you had that glass replaced for nothing?

You're really starting to get on my last nerve.

Just sit.

Let me think for a second.

Why on earth does Mr. Aslam think I'm the one threatening him?

This must mean that somebody else is intimidating him...

but who could it be?

What is it?

Uh... let's go.

But what about your guards?

We'll just use the back gate.

And we'll be back before they even know we're gone.

Shall we?

Let's go.

-Come on now. -Let's go.

I'm telling you, everything's going to be okay.

We'll have a blast.

Come on, hurry up.

Listen... Hey, listen to me.

I'm getting really nervous.

Let's just cancel the plan. Please?

Let's just grab some samosas from the canteen instead.

-They're so delicious. -No way.

Look, we go off campus for our research projects all the time, don't we?

Besides, I've already told Aaliyaar, he'll be disappointed.

So, what's the hold-up?

I was just thinking...

We were just wondering how we're supposed to get there.

In a rickshaw, obviously.

What?

In a rickshaw?

Of course.

You’re okay with riding in a rickshaw, aren't you?

Sure, I don't have a problem with it.

Let's go.

Okay, let's go.

Right, but from now on, you two lead the way.

Rickshaw.

-Hey, brother, over here. -He's not going anywhere.

Come on.

Brother, to the Empress Market, please.

Hey, let's get that one instead. What do you think?

Yes. Besides, blue is my favorite color.

Right?

We should at least negotiate the fare with him first.

It's fine, let's just go with this one.

Fine, if you say so.

This one looks a lot cooler anyway.

Okay, I'll hop in from the other side.

Alright.

-Scoot over. -Come around this way.

-Scoot over now. -From this way.

Will you just scoot over already? Let's go.

Hey, we're going to show you an amazing time.

We'll go to Empress Market and treat you to some bun kebabs.

It's going to be a blast.

I'm finally riding in a rickshaw. My head's spinning.

Sir, you could have just booked a cab for yourself.

We could have, but...

I honestly didn't think we'd have to jump through so many hoops

just to get you out of the university.

Well, thanks to you two.

If it weren't for both of you,

I'd probably never have ridden in a rickshaw.

I'm finally roaming free.

Otherwise, I'd just be caged up.

Seriously, I can't believe there's still a guy in this day and age

who'd say something like that.

Those kinds of rules are usually for girls.

I've never heard of a guy being so restricted that he can't even go outside.

I mean, guys have a lot of restrictions placed on them...

things that girls just don't know about,

but they're definitely there.

Oh, really?

That rickshaw ride made my head spin.

Eat your bun kebab and drink some water.

You'll be right as rain.

This bun kebab is really delicious.

See, I told you.

Seriously, I can't believe it.

You've never had a bun kebab before?

Of course I have.

But a Karachi-style bun kebab like this...

I've really missed it, especially sharing it with you two.

See? I told you you'd be impressed.

He must be thinking,

“Wow, what incredible friends I've got.”

You've got that right.

Don't forget, you still owe me a proper tour of the markets.

Of course, that's a given.

Think of today as your grand day out.

Your wish is our command.

Perfect.

Oh, look. Your guards are here.

What? Where?

Hey, it was just a joke.

Oh, you're joking, are you?

Go on, have your laugh.

I promise I'll get you back.

So, you like birds?

I do.

I have a lot of birds at home.

Pigeons, mostly.

Oh, wow.

What do you call them?

Names?

Oh, you know... Sonu, Monu, Sonu, Toni...

just a bunch of silly names, really.

Shall we? It's getting late.

Hey, Dilawar.

Looking for someone?

No, sir. Just you.

Right.

When are you going to get off my back?

I'm afraid I can't do that, sir.

What do you mean you can't?

I can't leave your side, sir. Those are my orders.

I see.

Alright.

Go wait in the car, I'll be right with you.

Okay, sir.

What's wrong?

We got late getting back, didn't we?

I really thought you'd be in trouble for it.

Yeah, I almost did. But I managed to pull it off, thanks to you two.

Right? It was a blast.

Next time, we'll take you somewhere even cooler.

Absolutely.

I would love to.

Okay.

Okay.

-See you. -See you.

Bye.

Bye.

Where are my notes? Must be in your...

Who even keeps an apple in their bag?

And a rotten one, no less.

I get hungry.

He's so adorable.

You know, for a handsome guy,

he gets excited over the smallest things, just like a kid.

Hmm...

But Lubna, you can't have everything in life.

Everyone's missing something.

Some people have it all and are still miserable,

while others have nothing but are perfectly happy.

No matter what your circumstances are,

you should be grateful to God instead of complaining.

Shall we now?

I just can't wrap my head around your philosophical talks.

-You're such a deep thinker. -Oh, please. It's nothing like that.

Alright, that's it for today.

-Class dismissed. -Goodbye.

Goodbye, everyone.

Make sure you're on time tomorrow. Class is dismissed.

You two can go as well.

Let me have a look. Is it done?

Shehroze, come over here.

And go straight home.

Hey, Bala. Come here.

Pull the engine out of that 1693.

I'll take a look at it in the morning.

Alright, boss, consider it done. Don't you worry.

I'm leaving my car here too. It's been acting up.

I'll check it myself in the morning. Don't let anyone else touch the engine.

Okay, boss.

You guys are back again?

-I thought I told you... -Hey, Aslam.

There's no need to get all worked up.

We've just come to talk.

I have nothing to talk to you about.

Well, after this, we won't be just talking.

We're here to give you one last warning.

Our boss is back, and we don't want him finding out

that you've been dragging your feet on this.

He’s pretty strict when it comes to business.

What's your boss got to do with me?

Don't waste my time. We work here. Get out.

Oh, really?

So, is that your final decision then?

Yes. That's my final decision.

Now go and tell your builder, Kareem, and tell Sanwal too.

Sanwal?

What does he have to do with this?

This is our business.

Who the hell is Sanwal to be giving us orders?

Let's go, Akhtar.

We did our part.

But you know what they say,

“No good deed goes unpunished.”

Let him be.

He'll face the consequences on his own.

And listen.

After this meeting of ours, whatever bid is made on this place,

the price will be half of what it could have been.

You were given a golden opportunity, and you blew it.

What...

Sanwal didn't send them?

Anyway, get my clothes.

Come on, man, let's go out.

I've told you before, you just don't get it.

You get bored too easily, don't you?

Then again, your attention span is practically non-existent.

I just told you, the moment I step outside,

Dad sends a whole army of guards with me.

It’s better if I don't go out and just stay home.

You’ll get bored to death that way.

Let's go out, let's party.

I'll introduce you to some friends of mine.

They're a lot of fun.

Friends?

I don't want to meet them.

Besides, I'm making new friends at the university.

Whoa, there you go.

Aaliyaar is staying all by himself?

That’s impossible.

Let me tell you something.

And...

you can't tell anyone, because if Dad finds out,

there'll be a huge problem.

I won't tell anyone, I swear on your life.

-Now, tell me. -Okay.

I’ve made two new friends at university.

Piya and Lubna.

I dodged my guards and went to the market with them in a rickshaw.

It was so fun.

What?

Are you serious?

Yeah.

And who are these Piya and Lubna?

University fellows.

She's incredibly beautiful.

I think she’s the deepest soul I’ve ever met.

Very mellow.

And sensitive at the same time.

Looking at her...

it feels like a sweet, fragrant breeze.

She has a heart that is so beautiful and pure.

I think I like her.

Nice.

I see you're having a good time with those girls.

Well, I am.

Are you now?

What's wrong?

Dad's phone is completely unreachable.

Try it again.

It's just not going through.

Oh God, where could he be?

It's been ages since he left the garage.

He called me right before he left.

His phone's never been switched off like this before.

He never turns it off.

Have you asked the guys at the garage?

They don't have a clue either.

I've sent Bala to go look.

Mom, I'm getting really scared. Dad has never done this before.

God, I hope he's okay.

I just hope he gets home safe.

Oh, he's back.

What happened? Did you find out anything?

Sister-in-law, we've searched the entire route home,

but there's no trace of the boss.

I'm going with them.

No, where do you think you're going at this hour, Piya?

They've already checked everywhere.

We're both going back out to look for the boss.

Sister-in-law, there was something I had to tell you.

What is it?

Two men came to the garage…

to threaten the boss…

-I mean… -What?

Those guys came back?

I bet it was Sanwal's men.

Why does that monster have it in for Dad?

It's because Dad told him off in front of everyone for breaking the car window.

This has to be his revenge.

But he already had your dad's window replaced.

When?

Your dad told me on the phone this morning.

I'm telling you. He's behind this.

He was humiliated in front of the whole neighborhood yesterday

after Dad slapped him. This is his payback.

I just know he's done something.

-Let me go, please. -No, absolutely not.

You're not going anywhere.

Bala, you go.

Keep your phone on, I'll keep calling for updates.

Sure, Sister-in-law. Let's go quickly.

Mom.

Mom, I have a terrible feeling about this.

It's so late, and Dad is still not back.

I know Sanwal has done something.

I need to go and confront him.

Piya, stop.

Just stay home and pray that your father comes back safely.

Mom, praying isn't enough. We have to do something.

It's late and he isn't home. We can't just sit here.

What can we do? We're two women on our own.

Where would we go? Who would even help us?

We're going to the police station to file a report against Sanwal.

Okay. I'll get my shawl.

Brother Sanwal. Brother Sanwal.

What is it? Can't a man get a moment's peace even at this hour?

And why do you look like you've seen a ghost?

That tutor from down the street is here with her mom.

She's brought the police.

What?

What nonsense are you talking about?

Are you messing with me?

No, of course not, Brother.

Hopefully, everything is alright.

What are you two doing here with the police at this hour?

Is everything okay, Miss Piya?

Brother Sanwal,

these two came to file a complaint against you.

A complaint?

Against me?

Right, I get it now.

Look, Mr. Aslam must have some sort of misunderstanding.

Don't you dare lie.

You're the one who sent threats to my dad, aren't you?

You're just getting back at him because he put you in your place that day.

Where is he? Why isn't he home yet?

What?

Look, it's midnight, and there is no sign of him.

If either of you knows anything, please just tell us.

We're sick with worry.

But I…

If anything happens to my dad...

I will never forgive you, Sanwal.

That's enough, Miss Piya.

It's wrong to be so suspicious of Brother Sanwal.

Keep your mouth shut.

No, Brother. Let me speak today.

When Heera broke Mr. Aslam's windshield,

you took the fall for it.

You were disgraced in front of the entire neighborhood.

But even that wasn't enough to clear up her suspicions.

Yesterday, it was just threats.

Today, you've escalated to accusations of kidnapping

and have brought the police with you.

I never would have expected this from you, Miss Piya.

Tipu!

Have you lost your mind?

Why are you rambling on like that?

She's just worried.

Inspector, you can go now.

Look for Mr. Aslam. I'll search for him too.

I'll let you know if I hear anything.

You two shouldn't be worried at all.

It's late, please go home.

We will find him, don't worry, he'll be safe and sound.

Tipu, see them home.

Yes, Brother.

Thank you so much.

-I just got so... -This isn't the time for that.

It's not right for you to be standing here.

Tipu, go on and take them to their door. Go.

Come, Piya.

Sanwal.

Dad will come home, won't he?

I'll bring him back myself, Miss Piya.

That's a promise.

Let's go, Piya. Come on, let's go home.

Tony! Heera!

Yes, Brother?

Get the car. Now.

On it, Brother.

Ah.

Oh, come on, Dad, you're about to lose.

You should never be sure of victory until the last moment, son.

The tables can turn in an instant.

I know.

Looks like losing is getting to you.

A loss never bothers me, my boy.

It just illuminates the path to the next victory.

See?

You have snookered yourself.

You still haven't answered my question.

Have you made any friends at the university or not?

There are plenty of girls,

but they all look at me like I’m the eighth wonder of the world.

And if by some chance one gets curious,

your bodyguard, Dilawar, is right there to scare them off.

I really don't like it.

Son, Dilawar must stay with you.

In our line of work,

you make one friend and a thousand enemies.

I can only rest easy knowing he's by your side.

And I'm the one who pays the price for your peace of mind.

No one ever gets close to me.

Although there is this one girl... she is quite the character.

She'll come close, but she's never impressed.

I see.

So that's what she's like, huh?

What’s her name?

Piya.

Piya.

She says she won't let me drop her home in my sports car.

Otherwise, her mom will start getting all sorts of dramatic ideas.

Can you believe it, Dad?

Getting such ideas in this day and age.

It's crazy.

If you ask me, that girl sounds pretty smart.

This is Pakistan, son.

When a boy offers a girl a ride home, people here only assume one thing.

And what is that?

That he intends to become their son-in-law.

Anyway, what were you just telling me?

So you think you’re winning, then.

Alright, let’s see.

This one should do it.

Brother, how are we supposed to find him in a city this large?

A missing person can only be in two places.

We have already established that Mr. Aslam isn’t at the police station.

This leaves us with the three…

Three?

-The gym. -The school.

The snooker club.

You idiot. The hospitals.

Oh, right, the hospitals.

Right, we’ll check there.

Let the other boys in the area know as well.

Brother, I have already put the word out.

Tipu,

you shouldn’t have spoken to Miss Piya like that.

Who knows what she must be thinking of us now?

Sorry, Brother.
