Taxi.

Hello..
- Yes.

l was here first..

Congratulations.

Look. Just follow the queue,
okay? l'm already late.

Taxi.

Listen. Back up.

You're sick?

l'm sorry, l didn't
realise you were sick.

Please take the taxi.

No, it's okay.

You're already late.

Don't worry. Two or three minutes
more won't make a difference.

Here, you carry on.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Thanks.

ldiot.

Late on the very first day,
Mr. Khan?

Sorry. My car's with the mechanic.
So, l had to..

Yes. Yes, l am sure.

Please ensure it
doesn't happen again.

Everyone, this is
Professor Ehsaan Khan.

He's here on Professor
Qureshi's recommendation.

This is Professor Nagpal.

Vaishali.. l teach literature.

Hi.
- Professor Sood. - Hello..

Sorry, l'm late.
- There you are..

This is Professor Ehsaan Khan.

Meet Avantika Ahuja.
She teaches psychology.

She's come down from New York.

Hi. Ehsaan.

Professor Ahuja.

Do you know each other?

Yes.
- No.

Got class.. late..

lf you need anything,
you know where my office is.

Please feel free.
- Thank you.

Ehsaan. There's time
for my next lecture.

Why don't we have a game? Come.

Look. l'm sorry about yesterday.

l didn't know that..

That l teach here.

Or you won't be this sorry.

Maybe. But how does
that make a difference?

Look. This is going
all wrong, okay..

l just want to say that l'm
really sorry about yesterday.

l want to take you for a coffee.

Excuse me? - Yes, just to make
up for it, you know.. coffee?

Thank you, but l don't drink coffee.

Tea, then..

l don't like tea.

No coffee. No tea..

How about water then?

You do drink water, right?

Yes, l do. But not with strangers.

What was he saying?

Do you have to know everything?

Of course. Give me some gossip.

He wants to take
me out for a coffee.

So?

So? l refused.

Refused? But why?

He's so cute.

Now, l can't go out for coffee
with every cute guy, can l?

l don't even know him.

You don't go out with anyone.
You're so snooty.

One day, you'll only have
Qureshi left to have coffee with.

Vaishali, please.

Good morning, Professor. Hi.

Qureshi has had quite a bad morning.

After years, he's losing a game.

To your Coffee Khan.

Madam. Professor Khan
has sent this for you.

Graduation certificate?

Driver's license?

Voter's lD.

Why has he sent all this to you?

Excuse me. Your parcel..
lt's come to me by mistake.

Not really. l sent it to you.

So, you know everything about me.

And l don't remain
a stranger anymore.

You think sending over your personal
details will make me know you?

Not at all.

That's why it's important
to have coffee. Today? 4pm?

Any place of your choice.

Look, other girls might
find this really charming..

..but it's not going
to work with me.

l'm not trying to be
charming with you.

l'm just trying to
have coffee with you.

You won't give up, will you?

Never.

Just coffee.

Yes, ma'am.

See you at 4.

You know l was thinking..

Thank you.

About us.

About us? Wow.

Look, Avantika. l know what's
going on here and so do you..

..so, why are we pretending?

You're beautiful..

..and l'm not too bad either.

And by now, l'm
sure you've realised..

..l'm very interested in you.

Now, l'll tell you
what's going to happen.

l'll ask you out for
coffee repeatedly.

You'll refuse initially,
but then give in.

l'll get all romantic with you.

You'll resist initially,
but then fall for it.

Then we'll fall in love..

..get married, have children
etcetera. You know the truth.

So, why waste time in small talk?

Professor Khan, l think
you're getting carried away.

Really? Okay.

Just answer one..
actually, two questions.

But you have to answer
them honestly. Okay? - Okay.

Do you find me handsome?

No. Not at all.

Be honest.

That's not what
your eyes are saying.

Maybe.

Okay, good.

Question number two.

Did you think about me last night?

What?
- Yes.. honest..

Maybe l did. So?

So, it's clear..

When a girl thinks about
a guy in the night and..

..then has coffee
with him the next day..

..there's something there, right?

So, why don't we just
accept this and move on?

What do you say?

You think you're very smooth, right?

lf you say so..

So, Professor Khan, l'm late.
l need to get home.

Hey.

So, coffee again,
tomorrow? Same place?

No.

Same time.

No.

So.. What's going on?

Between you and that cute Khan.

l believe you've had a lot of
coffees in the last two weeks?

Nothing's happening. - Nothing's
happening? Come on, dear.

l'm serious, we're
just good friends.

Just good friends?

Okay, fine. Don't tell me.
l won't ask again.

Hey, Vaishali.

Leaving.
- Yes, tutions. See you tomorrow.

Bye. - Bye, Avantika.
- Bye.- Bye.

l'm thinking, why don't we add
a movie to our coffee plan..

Ehsaan, l think it's a bad idea.

We work together.
- So?

So? Meeting this way in college..

Fine then. l'll quit
the job, all right?

Why don't you understand?
lt'll get complicated.

Let's make it simple then.

l really like you, Avantika.

lt's too soon.

Why? You're eighteen, right?

Be serious sometimes.

l'm serious about you, Avantika.

l don't know.

What are you afraid of?

l'm not afraid.

Are you afraid of
your feelings for me?

l told you. l'm not feeling afraid.

Not feeling anything..

Not feeling anything?

No.
- Now?

"Thank God. Oh, loved one."

"When our eyes met, the breeze
became fragrant like in heaven."

"When my lips touched yours,
blessings showered..

..upon us from above."

"Our love is so sacred.
lts like prayers."

"Both the worlds are
merciful towards us."

"Thank God. Oh, loved one."

"My body bloomed in your arms."

"l found peace in your breaths."

"How can l stay away from here."

"l am so close to you.."

"..that your dreams
belong to me now."

"We've fallen for
each other such way."

"Such is her favour.
l don't have any complaints now."

"Both the worlds are
merciful towards us."

"Thank God. Oh, loved one."

"l see with your eyes."

"My days and nights belong to you."

"l don't exist without you."

"My destiny shined.."

"..with your love."

"Both the worlds are
merciful towards us."

"Thank God. Oh, loved one."

What's the matter?

l got a mail from
New York University.

They want me back
for the next semester.

And you're going, right?

When Papa had a stroke, l came back.

But now, he's fine.

Besides, there's not much
scope for me out here, Ehsaan.

And us?

Look, Avantika,
l'm a bit traditional.

l don't belieVe in long
distance relationships.

They never work.

lf we both want this relationship,
then..

Then l'll have to reject the
New York University offer..

..and stay back here
with you, right?

l said l'm traditional, not selfish.

lt's not always necessary for
a woman to make the sacrifice.

l too can leave
everything and come with you.

Really?

Yes, sure.

But what will l do there?

The same that you do here.
There are many universities there.

You can be a
professor in any one of them.

What will l teach?

We'll think about that later.

l'm just so happy right now.

Well then, that just
leaves one thing for us to do.

l'll have to talk to your father.

Can l be frank?

l've always wanted
Avantika to marry a Hindu.

Don't get me wrong.

l have nothing against
you or Muslims in general.

l just believe the lesser the
differences between two people..

..the easier it is to adjust.

But we loVe each other, Papa.

When a couple is newly wed..

..the husband and wife have no
time for anything except each other.

They shut their doors and windows ..

..and immerse
themselves in a world of love.

But when those windows open, the
first thing to fly out, is love.

lf you want a happy marriage, you
can't just listen to your heart.

Sir, you're older than us.

You've seen a lot in life, and l
don't want to oppose your views.

But we've both
decided to get married.

And after a great deal of thought.

lf both of you have
already decided..

..then why do you
need my permission?

lf we marry against your wishes,
Avantika will always feel sad.

She'll never be really happy.
And l don't want that.

What do you want then?

That l should quietly give away
my daughter, without a thought?

Say "yes" to the marriage?

No. Don't give away your daughter.

Just accept a son.

"lt was the joy of love.."

"lt sure was from up above."

"You're shining light,
every day and night."

"And when the dawn is new, they'll
see you.. You're shining like.."

"Every day and night."

"Make your house in
the shade of dreams."

"Decorate your tomorrow today."

l told the Dean about you.
He wants to meet you.

lsn't that wonderful?

We could be teaching together..
- "Decorate your tomorrow today."

"l just need your support."

"Spend happy moments
in the path of life."

"l pray to God."

"Everyone's love has a story."

"Our heartbeat is singing.."
- Ehsaan. Should we go see it?

lndian neighbourhood?

"Everyone's love has a story."

"Our heartbeat is singing
in somebody's acceptance."

How do you like it?

lt's okay.

Okay?

That means you like it.

So, let's take it.

Please. These are our people.

lt'll take an hour eVeryday to
reach the university from here.

Let it..

Okay.

"l pray to God."

"lt was the joy of love."

"lt sure was from up above.
You are a shining light."

"Every day and night."
- "l pray to God."

"And when the dawn is new, they'll
see you.. You're shining night.."

"Every day and night."
- "l pray to God."

What?

Nothing. Just looking.

Can't look?

Thank you.

What for?

For everything.

Hello. We live across the street.

Welcome to the neighborhood.

Thank you. Please come in.

Ehsaan.

Hi. l'm Hamid.

l'm Anjum.

Hello..

Sorry, there's no place to sit.

We haven't got all
our furniture yet.

That's okay.

A few friends are coming over
tonight. Why don't you two join us?

We're neighbours now. We have to
get to know each other, don't we?

Well, l.. - We'll be there
for sure. What time?

8pm. Don't forget.

Okay.

Bye. - Bye.
- Bye. - Bye.

God. Why did you have to say yes?

Come on, Ehsaan.

They live across us.
We can't be that anti-social.

Hi. Come on in.
- Hello.

l am so happy, you could make it..

Can l take your coat?
- No, it's okay.

Come on in. come.

This is Bhaijaan (brother).

Everyone calls him as Bhaijaan.
- Hello.

Aslam. Hakil. Tahir.

This is Ehsaan..

He's just shifted into the
neighbourhood with his wife.

Hello.
- Anjum.

Take the lady inside and
introduce her to the others.

Yes. Bhaijaan..

This is Aapa (aunt).

So, you're Avantika. Sit, my dear.

Thank you. - Anjum has been
praising you all afternoon.

You're right, Anjum.
She is quite lovely.

ls it true that you are a professor?

Yes. What do you do?

ls there any bigger job
in this universe than..

..taking care of your own home?

We aren't allowed to work.

Our men don't like it.

Salma. - What Salma means is
that our men earn enough with..

..the blessings of the Lord.

So, we don't need to be employed.

Besides, what sense does
it make for our women to..

..work in places
where there is no purdah?

lt's wrong, isn't it?

Right, Aapa.

And who knows what's right and..

..wrong better than you, here?

Should we warm up dinner?

Avantika, you must be hungry.

Come.

Goodnight.
- Goodbye.

Bye.

Nervous?

A little.

lt's good to be nervous.

You'll get the job

For luck.

Bye.
- Bye.

l wanted to apologise
for last night.

l was just a little upset.

May l come in?

Sure. Please come in.

Sit.

What's the matter?

He'll kill me.

What? What are you talking about?

My life is in danger.
l know eVerything.

You can't trust anyone.

What are you saying?
l don't understand, Salma.

l don't have time to explain.
Rehana, my friend..

She works for WBAC News.

Please call her and tell her
that my life is in danger.

Only she can save me.

l would have called her myself..

..but he doesn't allow
me to use the phone.

Who?

Hakil.

Hakil hits you?

Please call Rehana
as soon as you can.

You will, won't you?
Don't tell anyone anything.

l will.

You're here?

l came to apologies for last night.

Hakil's going insane
searching for you. Come on.

Avantika, when you have time,
come over for a chat. come.

You mean a course on lslam?
- Yes.

l was thinking maybe l
could teach a course on..

..the impact of lslam on the West.

Given the current environment..

..it might just have some resonance.

That's an excellent idea.

l suspect there'll be plenty of
takers for a class of that nature.

ln fact, you might have a pretty
volatile classroom considering..

..the way some people
in this country think.

Well, l like people with opinions.

lt's the ones who don't
have them that scare me.

l can see Avantika
knows how to pick a man.

So, l guess there's
nothing more to say then.

Great. Welcome aboard, Ehsaan.
- Thank you very much, sir.

l just knew it.

He's asked me to
join as soon as l can.

What did you do the whole day?

Waited for you.

Something strange
happened today, Ehsaan.

Salma came home. She was frightened.

ln fact, she was very frightened.

Why?

l don't know.. before she could say
anything, Nasreen took her away.

We must help her.

l think we should stay out of it.

lt's their personal life.

lf you'd seen her,
you wouldn't say that.

Look, l know you want to help her,
but we don't even know these people.

We don't know what they do,
what their problems are..

Tomorrow, if they start interfering
in our problems, how would you feel?

We're just their neighbours,
not their relatives.

Let's eat now. l'm starving.

Hi.

ls Salma in?

She left for her
mother's place this morning.

You wanted something?

No. She got me some
sweets yesterday.

Just wanted to return the plate.

Were they good?

The sweets?

Thank you.

Oh, God. l missed you.

Missed you more.

How are you?

Alive.
- You better be.

l was praying for you all the while.

How bad was it?

What can l say?

lraq's a mess.

l was covering the military base
for the newscast the other day..

..when we were
attacked by suicide bombers.

They took three soldiers with them.

l had just interviewed
the soldiers a day before.

lt was terrible, Rehana.

When you go oVer with the
delegation, you'll see for yourself.

Anyway, what matters
now is that you're here.

And l'm not going to
let you out of my sight.

You're all mine today, got that,
Mr. Masud? - Got it.

But first, l have to meet father.

l promised him that l would
meet him before the prayers.

After that..

l'm all yours, ma'am.

Good.
- Let's go.

Finance minister..

Hello.

l thought you two had forgotten.

Greeting.
- How could l let him forget?

How are you? Come sit.

Wonder what made the Lord think
that you deserved such a nice girl.

Nice girl?

She was taking me
elsewhere from the airport.

lt was l who decided
to come here first.

Liar.

Didn't you go to cover that in lraq?

What will you have?

Try covering news
from our side at times.

Try and get our voices heard too.

lsn't this our voice, Father?

l'm not talking
about the American voice.

l'm talking about our Voice.

Meaning?

You won't understand. lt's my fault.

Had l not brought you here..

..you would never have
lived with these Americans..

..and started thinking like them.

But we are Americans.

No.

We are Muslims first. Not Americans.

You always report the
number of US soldiers killed.

News should neVer be one sided.

Why don't you report what these
people are doing to the Muslims?

Try and revel the true colours of
these infidels in your newscasts.

lt's this
fundamentalist attitude that..

..has tarnished the
image of all Muslims.

Fundamentalist attitude?

When did allegiance to one's
faith become fundamentalism?

Father, shall we order something?

Should we order?

Thank you for meeting me at
such short notice. - That's okay.

You said on the phone
that you wanted to..

..tell me something about Salma.

Yes.
- Excuse me.

Hey, That's Riyaaz.
Riyaaz, that's Avantika.

Hi.
- Hello.

He covers stories with me.

Except the ones that
pose a threat to my life.

That's okay.

You can speak in front of Riyaaz.

Salma was saying
that you're a friend.

We met accidentally in
an internet chatroom.

Then had lunch together.

After that, l tried
calling her several times..

..but she didn't answer.

That was a little strange.

She's in trouble, l think.

She was saying that her
husband wants to kill her.

Hakil?

You know him?
- No.

l don't know him, but l've
heard of him from Salma.

He doesn't allow
Salma to go anywhere.

Doesn't allow her
to speak to anyone.

l think she's under house-arrest.

Last night, l saw Hakil hitting her.

l'm really scared for her.

l am sorry. Excuse me.

Hello? Yes.

Tonight?

But the delegation
leaves tomorrow night.

l have to leave tonight.

Some security issues.

Yes. Yes. Tell me.

God. Where's a pen
when you need one?

Thanks. Yes.

Flight 1 1 9. 1 0.30.

Got it. Thanks.

Thank you so much. Thanks a ton.

So, where were we?

lt looks like a typical
case of domestic violence.

Yes, it is. l'll visit her
when l'm back from lraq.

lt's possible that l'm overreacting.

My husband too feels
l'm interfering.

But Salma asked me to
speak to you, so, here l am.

Anyway, l have to leave.

l have doctor's appointment.
- That's okay.

Just give me your address.
You have my number.

lf anything comes up,
you can call me.

Thank you.

l think you've every reason
to be very happy, Avantika.

Hi.. Ehsaan..

When are you coming home?

Nothing. Just come quickly.

Bye.

Great. Goodbye.

ls everything going well?

Yes.. Flight 1 1 9 is on
schedule and the entire..

..delegation and media
contingent will be on board.

Wonderful.

The echoes of this
blast will ring in..

..America's ears for a long time.

Who's there?

Get her.

Ehsaan. They killed Salma..

Who?
- All of them.. Bhaijaan..

They're bombing a flight.

Just calm down.
What are you talking about?

l swear, Ehsaan.

Come on in.
- No. They're all in there.

They won't do anything. Trust me.

Ehsaan, please.
- Just calm down.

Let's call the police.

Okay. Let's go inside
and call the police. Okay?

lt's all right.

They must be here somewhere.

Call the police. Please..

What are you doing, Ehsaan?

You all can come out now.

No.

lt's not always necessary for a
woman to make all the sacrifices.

l too can give up
everything and come with you.

Should we go to see it?

An lndian neighbourhood?

Avantika, listen to me.
- Leave me alone.

You're one of them.

You killed Salma..

lf you don't calm down,
we'll have to do the same to you.

What? You'll kill me? Kill me then.

Kill me and also kill the
child growing inside my body.

Kill me, Ehsaan.
- Please.

Ehsaan.

What's going to
happen now, Bhaijaan?

lf she doesn't go to the
uniVersity in the next few days..

..people will ask questions.

No one will say anything.

l'll tell the Dean she's pregnant.
She needs leave for a few months.

How much does she know?

Salma went to meet her. She
must have told her everything.

You know what you need to do.

She wont be a danger to us,
Bhaijaan. That's my responsibility.

We're here to carry
out Allah's will.

Nothing should stand in our way.
- l said, she won't be a threat.

Enough. When you married an
infidel l didn't say a word.

But l can't be silent now.

You should have
stopped yourself long ago.

You know why l married her.

She has an American passport.

lmmigration authorities
would never question me.

That's all rubbish. Excuses.

You can fool everyone.
Even yourself. But not me.

You're in love with the girl.

There are many other
ways of entering America.

lf you recall, we wanted
to enter legitimately..

..with social security numbers.

We had decided that we wouldn't
enter like illegal immigrants.

But we can't take such a big risk.
She's a danger to us all.

You need to silence her, Ehsaan.

But to silence her one
doesn't need to kill her.

Call when you reach, okay?

Love you.
- l love you too.

Rehana, l was thinking..

l should speak to your
parents when you get back.

Riyaaz Masud.

Are you proposing to me?

Yes.

Should l go down on one knee?
- No. Don't you dare.

You couldn't find a better place
to propose in this whole wide world?

l loVe you.

Come back soon.

Mr. Bailey, as head of
the UN delegation to lraq..

..could you tell us a little
about the nature of this visit?

Well, our purpose
is to find ways to..

..de-escalate the
tension in the region..

..and to enable the
current caretaker government..

..to start a dialogue with
the opposing lraqi factions..

..within the country.

But Mr. Bailey..
- That's all for now.

We have a huge press
contingent travelling with us..

..so, you people will
be the first to know.

But Mr. Bailey.. One more question..
- Thank you.

You are on Flight 1 1 9.

Please turn off your cell phones
and all other electronic equipments.

The number you are trying
is currently not reachable.

Please pick up. Pick up.

'Hi, this is Rehanna.
l am not available right now..'

'..you can leave
your name and number..

..l'll get back to you. Thank you.'

Rehana, this is Avantika.

Please, don't board
that plane. lt has a bomb.

Do you hear me. lt has a bomb.

And my husband too
is involved in this.

Riyaaz..

Riyaaz Masud?

Mr. Masud.
l'm very sorry for your loss.

l'm Agent Collins, FBl.

l realise it's not the best
time to ask you questions, but..

lf you can think of
anything at all..

..please contact me right away.

Thank you.

A day after the
bombing of flight 1 1 9..

..which killed the
entire union delegation..

..and the 1 28 other passengers..
Police is still looking for clues..

..and existing
lslamic terrorists efforts.

People are still sending
messages to the relatives..

..of all the 1 28 passengers.

Congratulations, Bhaijaan.

Taahir has attained martyrdom.

Don't congratulate
yourself too soon.

Altaf, the airport officer,
who let Taahir on the plane..

He called Hamid. Now,
he wants more money.

He says the money
given to him wasn't enough.

For the risk, he took
he wants more money.

He was threatening us.

Bhaijaan, leave this to me.

Ehsaan, she's not eating.
You speak to her.

Get away from me.

You used me.

Everything was a lie.

Your love.. this marriage..
Everything.

Avantika..
- Don't touch me.

Just calm down.

For our child's sake.
- Our child, Ehsaan?

You think l want to give birth
to a child after knowing all this?

l'll die and kill the
baby along with me..

..but l'll never allow my
child to be a part of you.

You will do no such thing..

Or else?

Or else what? What Ehsaan?

Speak to your papa.

Papa..
- Avantika, how are you?

ls Ehsaan with you?

Tell him his friend is
quite comfortably settled here.

Friend?

Yes. Didn't he tell you?

His friend is staying with me.

His house is being renovated, so,
he's staying for a few days with me.

l'll have company..

You know him too. Speak to him.

But papa..

Hello, Avantika. All well?

You take care of Ehsaan there and
l'll take good care of your Papa.

You know l won't let
anything happen to you..

..nor your papa.

But for that, you need
to do what they want.

lf you don't, no one
will listen to me.

Neither Bhaijaan, nor Qureshi.

You need to eat well. For yourself.

For the child. This child is mine.

And so are you.

You have two new messages.

Hey, Rehana, this is John calling.
Give me a call when you get in.

l'll talk to you. Thanks. Bye.

Rehana, this is Avantika.

Please don't board that plane.
lt has a bomb in it.

Do you hear me? lt has a bomb in it.

And my husband too
is involved in this.

Rehana, this is Avantika.

Please don't board that plane.
lt has a bomb in it.

Do you hear me? lt has a bomb in it.

And my husband too
is involved in this.

Rehana, this is Avantika.

Please don't board that plane.
lt has a bomb in it.

Do you hear me? lt has a bomb in it.

And my husband too
is involved in this.

Hey, Riyaaz. Come in.

Rajan..

l need a few days leave.

l've a strong lead
in the bombing case.

l need to investigate it.

Slow down. You're sure about this?

l'm sure.

Give me the details.

l'm sorry. l can't

Then l can't let you do it.

lf the lead is strong we
need to tell the police.

No. lf we tell them,
we'll lose the lead.

Come on, Rajan.

You're not just my editor.
You're also my friend.

Riyaaz.

ln any case, you
shouldn't be involVed in this.

You're too close to it.

You'll need time.

To deal with Rehana's death.

l don't want to deal
with Rehana's death, Rajan.

l want to deal with her killers.

l'm doing this.

How will l identify Altaf?

He'll be in a corner on
level two. Sitting alone.

"Send the whiskey, baby.."

"Bring on the clothes tonight."

"The sense of expectation.."

"..somehow feels right."

"Far from the world outside,
you've come so deep inside."

"The night is coming and you also.."

"..come in with the tide."

"Lying awake, l see your face."

"Time after time,
l just can't erase."

"You're mine. You're mine."

"All the time.."

"You're mine."
- Altaf..

Yeah!
- "You're mine."

"You're mine. You're mine."

Nobody saw the killer go in or out.

What do we know about the victim?

Altaf Sheikh. Airport security.

Been on the job for six years.
lmpeccable record.

He was on duty on the
night of the bombing.

Do a search of his apartment.

Phone calls.. family.. friends..
co-workers..

Everything.

This guy could be the
link we're looking for.

Hi.
- Hi.

Mr. Khan teaches class here?

Yes, Mr. Khan teaches an
evening class on 'lslam..

..And The Modern World.'

Would you like to join?
- Yes.

Well, Mr. Khan will be lecturing
upstate over the weekend.

ln fact, he's flying out
first thing in the morning.

So, if you send in your educational
qualifications this week..

He can take a look at
them when he gets back.

Sure. Thanks.
- You're welcome.

l'm sorry. You said upstate.

Where exactly?

Will you step aside please?

May l see your boarding pass?

Riyaaz.
- Riyaaz..

Riyaaz Masud.

Will you please open your bag?

Why? l don't see you asking
anyone else to open their bags?

Sir. lt's random selection.

Random..

Thank you.

Yes, right.

Random selection, my foot!

l've got a Muslim name.

That's his problem.

l hate it when they
treat us like this.

l know what you mean.

But anger isn't going
to help. Simmer down.

How's simmering down going to help?

l'll suppress my anger for a while.

But it'll keep
eating away at me inside.

l'm sorry.

Hi, l'm Riyaaz.

Ehsaan.

What do you do?

You mean apart from
yelling at airport security?

l try to find a job to stick to.

What do you do?

l'm a professor.

Really?
- Yes.

What do you teach?

l teach a course on "The Muslim
ldentity in the Modern World."

What identity, Professor?
Which world are you living in?

The whole world looks at us
in only one way. Suspiciously.

l know. But how do
you look at yourself?

Listen. Why don't
you come to my class?

You might find it interesting.

l don't like listening to lectures.

l encourage discussions,
not lectures in my class.

Think of it as therapy
for your anger.

Maybe.

Khalid Anwar.

Also know as Tabrez Anwar.

One of the most dreaded assassins
in the lslamic terrorist networks.

Very little is known about him.

ln fact, these here..

..are the only images
we have of Khalid Anwar.

He is rumoured to be
around 35 years old.

Highly trained..

..in the use of explosives,
weapons and hand-to-hand combat.

Disappeared for a while.
ln lndia or Pakistan..

And according to our sources..

..slipped into the United
States about two months ago.

That can only mean one thing.

That's right.

Something big is being planned here.

This guy doesn't get
called in to build garage bombs.

He's been sent here to
join a sleeper cell..

..funded by one of the
largest terrorist networks.

What are we talking about here?

Well, without
sounding like an alarmist..

Our sources tell us a possible 9/1 1
event happening all over again..

l want this man found.
And found fast.

lt's become
difficult to breathe in here.

We need to dispose of the body.

lf the stench is so unbearable,
wrap a cloth around your nose.

The police are
looking all over for us.

We shouldn't do
anything to alert them.

But we can't leave
Salma's body lying around here.

Didn't you hear what l said?
- l heard.

But Salma was my wife.

And a Muslim. She
deserves a decent burial.

She doesn't deserve anything.
She betrayed us.

l said we won't do
anything and that's final.

lf you permit us, we can
bury the body in the woods.

No.
- Aslam is right.

The stench might make the
neighbours call the police.

You two help Hakil
pick up Salma's body.

Relax. Calm down.

What are you doing? Hide it.

Just relax.

Roll down the window.

Good evening.

Evening, Officer.

Could l see some identification,
please?

Hand over your lD.

Are you feeling all right?

You don't look very good.

He's fine, Officer.

He doesn't
understand English too well.

Sir? Sir, have you been drinking?

l assure you we haven't
been drinking, Officer.

All right, Sir. Please
step out of the car.

Sir. l said step out of the car.

Forgive me.

Get out of the car
with your hands up.

This is your final warning.
Throw your weapons down.

You me an to tell me one man
was responsible for all of this.

Before he torched his car..

..and his dead
accomplice behind the wheel.

Jesus Christ.

ObViously, we're not going
to get an lD out of that.

But there's something
else l need to show you.

They were trying to get
rid of a body. Female.

Turns out the blast took
off only half her face.

The other half if still intact.

How long do you think it will
take to reconstruct her face?

Four, maybe five days.

Ehsaan..

You need a doctor.
- No doctor.

You'll have to cut it.
Take out the bullet.

Cut it.

Use that. Take it out.

Ehsaan..
- Stitch it up.

Do it. lt's okay.

Didn't l say it was dangerous?

Both Salma and Hakil's
bodies are with the police now.

How long do you think
it'll take them to reach us?

We'll have to stop everything.

Nothing's going to stop, Bhaijaan.

The plan remains.

The police will find
their body so badly burnt..

..that they won't get any
fingerprints or dental records.

There's no reason
to panic, Bhaijaan.

They won't find us.

Don't ever
underestimate the enemy, Ehsaan.

The word 'Jihad' is mentioned
in the Koran about 41 times.

The words Mercy,
Peace and Compassion..

..are mentioned 355 times.

Yes, come in.

Come on in, Riyaaz.

Sit down, please.

Contrary to popular belief,
in most western cultures..

..lslam is a religion that
preaches peace and tolerance.

Yes, Patricia.

lf lslam truly is a
religion that preaches peace..

..then how come some of the
world's most troubled spots..

..the West Bank,
Afghanistan, Pakistan, lraq..

..are all plagued
with lslamic terrorism?

That depends on your
definition of terrorism.

Some might argue that US
invasions of countries..

..like lraq and Afghanistan
are also acts of terrorism.

No. Those were acts of war to
get rid of despotic regimes.

Or means of getting
other country's oil.

Conspiracy theories.
- Well..

May l?

Yes, please. Go ahead, Riyaaz.

Mr. Khan is right. l mean if
we're talking about terrorists..

..the world's biggest terrorists
are the white superpowers.

Come on now.

No, really. Stop and think about it.

Explain 9/1 1 .

Okay.

Do you know how many people
died in the twin towers strike?

Around 3000.

And do you have any idea
how many people died..

..in the bombings in Afghanistan?

Take a wild guess.

More than 1 5000 people died.

And these are just
conservative figures.

About 50,000 tons of explosives..

..were dropped on
innocent civilians.

Men, women, children.

Yes, but that was
because of the Taliban.

Now that you've brought it up..

..did you know that the
Taliban was a creation of..

..the ClA to fight the Russians?

Whatever. They were
still harbouring terrorists.

Yes, right. Terrorists
that were never found.

Just like the weapons
of mass destruction..

..that were never found in lraq.

Do you want to get into
the death toll in lraq?

Half a million
civilians and counting.

And what do
Britain and America say..

..when they don't
find these weapons?

lt's simple. They just say, "Sorry."

And still refuse to relinquish
control of these countries.

What are you trying to say?

What l'm trying to say is that
just because you're American..

..wear a fancy suit and
call yourself the President..

..doesn't make you any
less of a terrorist.

l'm saying, that if
you don't stop meddling..

..in other countries,
you will face a backlash.

lf Muslims like you feel that way..

..then why don't you
get out of our country?

We will. As soon as you
promise to leave ours.

Hello, Dad.

Next Friday, just
before your prayer time..

..you have a doctor's appointment.

Don't forget.

Bye.

Riyaaz.

Let's take a walk.

Well, if you feel so strongly..

..then why don't you
do something about it?

For your Muslim brothers?

What can l do?

You can help in
some way or the other.

l'm ready, Ehsaan. But
what can l do all alone?

Who said that you are all alone?

Encoded By CharmeLeon

What is it, Bhaijaan?

Hakil's loss is a big one. lt
will surely affect our plan.

l was thinking..

..what if we bring in
someone else in his place?

Where will you find someone
like him at the last moment?

Hakil was strong,
resolute and trained.

lt won't be easy to
find a replacement.

l have one man in mind.

How do you people live like this?

Don't you feel suffocated?

How do you sleep
next to Hamid Anjum..

..knowing he must have the blood
of so many innocents on his hands?

All of you leave. lmmediately.

Think before you speak.

l don't want you to
start influencing them..

..with all your crazy ideas.

lt's the truth. l know that..

What do you know?

Answer me. What do you know?

l came to Pakistan from Kabul after
getting married to your Bhaijaan.

l had left both my younger
brothers lqbal and Fawad, back home.

Then three years ago, the
American's attacked it..

..and nothing and no one was spared.

They razed
Afghanistan to the ground.

lqbal and Fawad died.

Their families perished too.

But God was merciful. He spared..

..Fawad's six-year-old son Salim.

But a piece of shrapnel had
lodged itself in his spine.

He used to scream in
pain all night long.

He used to beg Allah for death.

Can you imagine that?
A six-year-old child.

His screams became intolerable.

So, one night, Bhaijaan
stopped his breathing.

What was this poor child's fault?
What did he do wrong?

Six-year-old boy?

Just because these
Americans thought..

..that there were
terrorists hiding in Afghanistan.

For a few terrorists, they
ruined an entire country.

We are just killing a few of them.

So that they understand..

..what it means to lose a loved one.

That doesn't mean that
you kill innocent people.

Enough.

Don't interfere in
things you don't understand.

You don't know what the pain
of losing a loved one means.

l do. Ehsaan understands.

Ehsaan?
- Yes.

He had been married
only a few years..

..when the Americans dropped
bombs on his village in Pakistan.

He lost his wife and his
four-year-old son in those attacks.

His eyes were dead
when he met Bhaijaan.

Then he found a purpose. A cause.

He has found the way to Allah.

That means..

..l was used for all this?

Stop thinking like that.

He loVes you.

You're carrying his child.

l can see it in his eyes.

And you love him too.

Come now. Eat.

No, Aapa. This
room is getting to me.

Can't we go out for a little while?

You know, Bhaijaan won't..
- Please.

Avantika..
- Please, Aapa.

Just for a while.

Roll it down.

She's not feeling too good.
She needs some air.

Don't worry. l won't
let her out of my sight.

Think of your father
before you do anything stupid.

Excuse me. May l see your bags?

l don't know how it got into my bag.

l think you'll have to
come with us, ma'am.

l'm not going anywhere.
l am not going.

l'm sorry, Ma'am.

The store has a strict
policy on shoplifting.

You'll have to come with us. Now.

Alone.

Wait right here. ls that clear?

Don't go anywhere. Let's go.

Avantika, we need to talk.

l heard your message on
Rehana's answering machine.

So, you know these people had
planted a bomb on the plane.

They even killed Salma.

And they know that l
know everything about them.

Please get me out of there,
Riyaaz. Call the police immediately.

No. No police.

l'm going to deal with them myself.

You don't know they..
- They who? Your husband?

My husband, my neighbours, everyone.
Everyone is involved in it.

ln what? - l don't know. lt's
some sort of a terrorist group.

My father's in their custody too.

Please get me out of there.
l need your help, Riyaaz.

Avantika, relax.

l'm coming over to your
house tonight. - What?

Yes, Ehsaan has invited me.
- Ehsaan?

l don't have time to explain.
- But..

No one should
realise that you know me.

Got it? Now, go. Go.

What happened?
- l paid for it.

Bhaijaan shouldn't hear a word
about what happened. Got it?

Let's go.

Sorry, Riyaaz. Out here,
we have dinner early.

No problem.

She's my wife, Avantika.

And she's Nasreen Aapa.

Hello. How are you?
- Fine.

Let me know if you
need anything else.

Ehsaan's been saying
some great things about you.

What do you do?

At the moment, l'm between jobs.

Yes, Ehsaan said that
you're looking for a job.

What are your
educational qualifications?

l have a degree in engineering.

Where from?

Give him a break, Bhaijaan.

Let him eat in peace.

No, no. That's okay.

l've done my degree in
mechanical engineering..

..from UCL, New York. ln 2001 .

Then?
- Then?

Then l lost interest in it.

Really? What interests you?

Well, music, reading..

Have you read the holy Koran?

lf Bhaijaan had his way..

..he'd place a Koran
in everyone's hands.

And still people like
you wouldn't read it.

l heard that you had a
heated debate in class recently.

Well, we were having a
discussion on lslam.

l couldn't control myself when
l heard their views on Muslims.

So, do you just believe in words..

..or do you belieVe in action too?

You're right.

Words aren't enough anymore.

l disagree, Riyaaz.

A lot of problems can be solved
through discussion and dialogue.

Sorry, Ehsaan, but..

..the time to have a
dialogue has passed.

So, you think we should
all just pick up weapons?

Sadly, these Americans don't
understand any other language.

Right. Just go ahead
and blow them all up?

Not all of them. Just a few.
Like the 9/1 1 attack.

We killed only a handful. But
we paralysed the whole country.

That's when they realised
the true meaning of fear.

Do you know why we succeeded?

lt's passion for one's religion.

Something only a true
Muslim will understand.

That's why we could
sacrifice ourselves..

..for Allah
without a second thought.

Where will you find such belief in
the Almighty in these Americans?

They could never sacrifice
themselves for their God.

Can you sacrifice yourself?

Think well before you answer me.

Bhaijaan, what do you want
me to do to prove myself?

Five lamb sandwiches please.

Eat here or take-out?

Take-out.

You said you'd do
anything for the cause..

What?

Let's see.

Him.

But Bhaijaan.. Why him? l can't..

A Jihadi (one who fights for
Jihad) does not question the path.

There you go. Anything else?

Keep the change.

Just tell him what he needs to do.
We'll let him know the date later.

You still don't trust him?

One must not trust too easily.

l'm in the car.

Have l passed his test?

Or do l have to take another life?

We're planning an
attack on the subways.

Your station is 42nd Street,
Port Authority.

Avantika has an
appointment with the doctor.

We'll talk when l get back.

Be alert.

Avantika, you can come in now.

Wait, l'll be back.

lts okay, Mr. Khan.
She's safe with me.

The baby seems to be all right.
How have you been feeling?

Apart from the
morning sickness, not bad.

Could l ask you a favour, Doctor?
- Sure.

Can l make a call from your phone?

Just wanted to call my mother.

And please don't tell
my husband about it.

He's a bit possessive
about knowing first.

Thank you.

Hi, Mom. Avantika here.

Avantika?
- Yes.

The baby is fine. And
wants to come out soon.

l promise you..

l'll get you out of here soon.

But they've come up
with a heinous plan.

They plan to blow up the subways.
l've been giVen one station too.

42nd Street, Port Authority.

We have to stop them.

l need to know the
other stations as well.

No. l can't do it.

You don't need to do anything.

The names are lying in
Ehsaan's study drawer.

Just look for them. l need them.

By tonight.

Why don't you call your husband in
now? You can see the baby together.

What happened?

Can't sleep?

Can't everything be normal again?

Just you, me and the baby.

l don't even remember
what normal is anymore.

lt's been years.

Your wife and child, right?

Aapa told me..

Fate has been unfair to you, Ehsaan.

But it's not too late even now.

You can get back everything.

All that you longed for.

Sometimes, our wishes and
Allah's will is not the same.

How do you know the will of Allah?

Can't we forget all
this for just one night..

..and be like we were before?

"Oh, beloved."

"My love is innocent,
how would it be at rest?"

"Beloved, come and embrace me."

"Embrace me."

"This night is darker.."

"..than the tresses."

"The conversation
shivers from the darkness."

"My innocent breaths complain."

"Your body colours
my body and soul."

"My love is innocent,
how would it be at rest?"

"Beloved, come and embrace me."

What are you doing here?

Came down for a glass of milk.

Your baby's making me hungry.

We've found the
remnants of a headscarf..

..so, we know she's a Muslim.

But other than that,
we drew a blank.

No social security record.
No driver's licence. Nothing.

lt's like she doesn't exist.

We do it the old fashioned way then.

Place missing persons
posters in train and bus stations.

Supermarkets,
predominantly Muslim areas.

That way, if anyone's seen her,
we'll get the calls.

Can l help?

Of course. Why not?
Take tea out for everyone.

l think Riyaaz drinks coffee.

Thanks.

Bhaijaan. That's coffee..

l've had enough tea. l
think l'll have coffee today.

lt has sugar and you have diabetes.

lf you want coffee, l'll
make it without sugar.

Good coffee should never be wasted.

Let me have it.

Thank you.

Who are you talking to?

To my dad.

Dad?

Yes.

No one told me about your father.

There was no network inside and he
has a doctor's appointment at five.

l was calling to tell
him l couldn't make it.

What's his name?

Amanullah Masud.

ls that his number?

Hello. l'm calling from the clinic.

l'd like to speak to Riyaaz Masud.

l'm his father Amanullah Masud.

He made the appointment
for me for five this evening.

ls there a problem?

No, not a problem.

Just confirming the appointment.
Thank you.

After today, no one
will use cell phones.

Understood?

No one.

What's wrong?

What does he think l'll do?

He doesn't trust me at all.

Bhaijaan has fought many wars.

He doesn't even trust himself.

How will he trust you?

So, what more should
l do to prove myself?

Firstly, you should
stop missing so often..

Get that right.

Then stop being so hot blooded.

Calm down.

Try again.

Do you think l will ever betray you?

No.

But if you do, l'll be the first
one to put a bullet in your head.

Yes? When?

All right. l'm
coming back with Riyaaz.

What happened?

There's a problem.
Bhaijaan called us back.

Oh, no. We've run out
of gas. Need a refill.

Ehsaan, l need to use the restroom.

Hurry up. Will you?

l'll be back soon.

Fill it up please.

l need to use your phone.

Collins.

Listen carefully..

..l've some news on
a series of bombings.

l need to meet you. Alone.

Tomorrow morning. Nine sharp,
St. Gabriel's Church.

Listen. Wait.
- Hold on. Who is this?

Just be there. Alone.

We need to get a trace
on this call right now.

lf Salma's picture is
on all subway stations..

..someone must have recognised
her and called the police.

There's just four days left.
We needn't worry.

That's too long.

We'll strike tomorrow morning.

Tomorrow? But we aren't ready..

lt's Allah's will.

25 members.

We've traced the call to a
gas station on highway 87.

We have a description of the caller
from the guy behind the counter.

lt's a young lndian or
Pakistani male. Early thirties.

Okay. Stay on that..

Now, about tomorrow, l want
a team up on the rooftops..

..around that church.

And Hayes, let's be
discreet about this.

Hayes. What've we got?

Nothing yet.

Let's give him another 1 5 minutes.

But we've already given him an hour.

l don't think he's going to show up.

Another 1 5 minutes.

Get the women ready.

Did you ever really loved me?

Or was it all a lie?

You haven't answered me.

Bhaijaan has asked
for you downstairs.

Cyanide. lf you're captured alive..

l will take Sayeda,
Anjum and Avantika.

We will meet at Grand Central later.

Avantika will be with me
throughout. Don't worry.

lt's time.

May Allah be with us.

Your hands shouldn't tremble.

They won't.

"What kind of
passion is this on us?"

"Oh, Almighty."

"Oh, Lord."

"Oh, Almighty."

"Oh, Lord, this ambience."

"Oh, Almighty."

"O Almighty."

Only fill these bags with
what you absolutely need.

Where we are going, we
won't need much. Go.

"What kind of
passion is this on us?"

"Oh, Almighty."

"Oh, Lord, this ambience."

"Oh, Almighty."

May Allah be with you.

"Oh, Almighty."

Hey, buddy, good to see you.

Where were you all these days?

Hey. lt's me, Mike.
Where have you been?

l think you're making a mistake.
We haven't met.

Come on.

Hey. l told you.. all right.

You've got the wrong man.

Now, just leave me alone. Okay?

He's a funny guy, isn't he?

Yes, he is.
- Hi.

So, how do you guys know each other?

We work together at a news channel.

So, you're a reporter.. like Riyaaz?

Yes, a cameraman. But look,
if l've intruded l'm sorry.

Don't be sorry, Mike.

You don't know how much l
value this conversation.

l never really trusted him.

But now, no one can stop us.

l didn't tell anyone,
except Nasreen.

Tell her what?

Times Square.

5th Avenue..

Grand Central.

There are three more bombs
and no one will suspect them.

On who?

Anjum, Sayeda and Avantika.

Avantika.

But she's innocent.

And so were we.

Aapa.. No..

Aapa, listen to me.

No. No.

May my soul rest in peace.

What's wrong, Aapa?

Nothing.

Let's go.

l'd warned you, l'd put a bullet
in your head, if you betrayed me.

l know. After all, killing
someone gives you sadistic pleasure.

You enjoy it, don't you?
Taking a life?

Allah's will. Jihad. Just excuses.

Shut up.

Or what? You'll kill me.

Pull the trigger.

But eVen for a second don't
think this is Allah's will..

..because Allah's will does
not justify taking a life.

And whenever a bomb explodes,
only innocents die.

Bhaijaan has planted bombs in
Avantika, Anjum and Sayeda's bags.

And they're unaware of it.

Avantika..
- They need to be stopped.

Go. Go.

Freeze.. Get your hands up.

Listen to me..

..l need to talk to
Agent Collins, FBl.

Hands up.. don't move.

Put your hands up.

lt's a matter life or death.

Agent Collins.
- Yes.

This is Riyaaz. Riyaaz Masud.

We were to meet at the chapel.

Now, please. Just
listen to me very carefully.

Hayes. You hear me. We
have bombs on the trains.

l want an APB sent out
to all subway stations.

Alert all subway authorities.

So, you got that? We're
looking for seven terrorists..

Four men and three women.

All Muslims of lndian
or Pakistani origin.

The women are carrying
bags with false bottoms.

Let's pick up this Riyaaz
Masud from Lincoln Centre..

He'll identify them for us.

We're going to need bomb squads..

..ambulances and
back-up at every station.

Come on, move now.

All right. He's 6 feet tall.
Wearing a green jacket..

..and a backpack. Let's moVe.

Hey.

Everybody, down.

Let me see your hands.

Agents, down..

We have an explosion
