Coroner said it
was heart failure.

He had a stent that he
had put in in Dubai

about two months ago.

He had, like,

surgery and he didn't tell us?

Aqsa:
Yeah.

Put him on a diet that
he wasn't following.

[soft music]

The coroner knew all that?

No, ah, Uncle.

[soft music]

[Sabi sighing]

[soft music]

And you found him?

He went up for his
afternoon nap.

I went upstairs with the chai

and put it on the
table beside him.

(in Urdu)

Imam Saab has confirmed
some arrangements.

The body will be transferred

from the coroner
to the masjid in the morning.

We may now call
family and friends.

Sabi?

Can I talk to you?

So, the men in the
family are required

to clean your father's body
before the funeral service.

Honestly, I can't deal with
this right this second.

Shehraz:
It's not a problem.

I will do it with
Kareem and Imam Saab.

You can arrive at the mosque
with your mother and sister.

Okay.

Shehraz:
But as the son,

you are required
to lead the Salat

before the body is buried.

This is non-negotiable.

I can help you
practice the prayer.

I've forwarded you a video
of an imam reciting it.

On YouTube.

You sent me a YouTube link?

Yes.

What's a stent?

Angioplasty.

Opens arteries.

Okay.

Shehraz:
So for the funeral,

maybe keep the outfit simple.

How could you
not tell us about the surgery?

He said he had it under control.

He didn't want to add any
other stress to the family.

Yeah, well...

I don't want tomorrow to happen.

Tomorrow already sucks.

I have to, like, be in
front of all these people.

Aqsa won't even look
at me for some reason.

And I have like
no funeral appropriate gloves to wear.

Listen to my words.

You're gonna get through this.

Tomorrow doesn't have
to make sense to anyone

including you.

It doesn't matter
who's looking at you

or how they're looking
at you or why, okay?

And I have a sickening pair
of gloves you can borrow.

Are they funeral appropriate?

I have so much funeral
appropriate attire,

it's freaky.

[soft rhythmic vocalization]

So did you get the YouTube link?

[soft rhythmic vocalization]

Yes.

Just want to make
sure you are okay

with doing the Janazah prayer.

[soft rhythmic vocalization]

I'm good.

[softly] Okay.

Shehraz: I remember
once when we were children

there was a rat.

Big. Feral.

Was attacking me.

Imran bhai bludgeoned it
to death with a shovel.

When you told me
that story before

he k*lled it with
his bare hands.

I said that?

Yes.

Hmm.

I need air.

Okay.
