01x06 - The Much-Needed Reunion/Husn

[bunniefuu]

Halal Designs.

The women there, took advantage

of my client's fragile

psychological state.

That cannibal?

I saw it on the news.

Call your media guy. - 'Cannibal

Shehnaz didn't turn her house'

'into a slaughterhouse

all by herself.'

Churails!

- Down with them!

Churails!

- Down with them!

Churails!

- Down with them!

Ma'am, you didn't even think

that this could

sabotage your husband's

political career?

Sara, what the hell is wrong with

you? - Jamil, I've to go.

Do you understand?

- At least think of the kids!

Tell me how I can help you.

Arrest me.

But don't humiliate the others.

We need to rectify the mistake.

Churails!

- Down with them!

Churails!

- Down with them!

Churails!

- Down with them!

Bring the shutter down.

And hire a security company.

Babli!

My daughter.

I need to find her.

I was meant to be there.

How will we get through this?

There's no news of Sheila.

Please find her.

One, two, three, four

Five, six, seven, eight.

Cut. Cut!

Where is the stylist?

I keep saying that her navel

should be visible!

Why does she keep pulling

her pants up?

Navel! This is not a navel!

"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."

'CHURAILS'

6. BEAUTY

'Do you know the strangest

thing about our public?'

'Even their hate is fickle.'

'In just a few weeks,'

'we had become old news.'

Yeah, hello!

Hey, you're coming, right?

Yeah.

Listen

It wasn't your fault, okay?

Yeah, I'll see you.

- Alright.

Jeez!

Let them in.

Are you alright?

Jiya,

showing up here again and again

They fired me from the agency.

- Why?

I was asking everyone about Sheila.

It's been over two months.

What if something bad has

happened to my sister?

How long were you in

the hospital for?

An entire week.

- A week?

It was completely burnt.

Boss came to visit?

Tell me

How did you manage without

Jugnu for a week?

Did you eat something, Dilbar?

Yes, I'll eat.

Did you find out?

Nothing showing up for 'Fauzia Ali'?

No ID number, no address.

Try 'Fauzia Karim Ali'.

Okay.

For now, keep this between us.

Zubaida?

Okay.

It feels so good.

We are together and happy.

But look at her.

She hasn't said a word

since she's come back.

I think she's still in shock.

- Poor thing.

Your voice is worse today.

What do you do?

- I haven't done anything!

Did you eat something?

Shall I get you something?

Get me some juice.

What are you doing here?

Come. Let's go outside.

Fun place, right?

Come out.

This is also a lot of fun.

Come. Leave this.

I can't do this.

Can't do it.

Suddenly, everything inside me

has come to a standstill.

It's not happening.

Leave it then.

Go.

You've taken after your father,

after all.

Yeah, so what?

We don't know

how to drag out these meaningless

relationships.

I can't do it anymore.

Okay.

Then go.

What did Myra do?

She ended up going with him!

No!

- Didn't even look back! Believe me!

Oh my god, you guys! Stories!

So shall we go?

- Yeah, you guys go!

So where did Zeeshan go?

- He never met her again!

About f*cking time!

Oh! Are you alright?

- Yeah.

What are they doing here?

Hi!

Hi.

Oh! Please.

I can't believe this.

That poor girl has been knocking

at your door for over a month

and you

- Our Sheila! Ours!

Why didn't you tell us earlier?

- I went to the police station.

A missing person report

was already filed.

They're looking into it.

- Looking into it.

We have to find her, our way.

There is no 'our way', dammit!

All of you were right, I was wrong.

We shouldn't have reopened the shop.

We should've hired security.

We became

I became very impatient

and impulsive.

Just forget about what

we used to be.

You really know how

to betray your own.

What?

- Oh, is this what we are doing!

This is what you want?

- What did you just say?

Stop! Stop!

- What did she mean?

Sara! Enough!

Sa

- Wait.

I can't do this.

- Just wait a second.

The scene is such that

We were too used to

'Men Will Suffer.'

So in your absence,

we made an impulsive decision.

What decision?

So, what do you think?

You have no idea how many

circumcision parties I've organised,

just to fund this.

And wait till you see upstairs.

It's brilliant.

All of you have lost your mind.

Our shop was burnt down.

Babli just about survived. No.

No way.

Babli just about survived

and after surviving,

she did nothing.

You can say 'no way,

no way' as much as you want

but our house has collapsed.

We must build it back again.

So round two began at your house?

Lime green

Or fuchsia?

I've asked you a question, madam.

I think, fuchsia.

"What is it?"

"What is this?"

"What is this?"

"What is this?"

"I have woken up."

"I have woken up."

"I have woken up."

"I have woken up."

"Now we'll create a ruckus."

"Now we'll create a ruckus."

"Now we'll create a ruckus."

"It's my turn."

"What is this?"

"What is this?"

"What is this?"

"Be ready!"

Did we get anything

out of her family?

They've lied in the past too.

According to Rida,

Sheila was very happy.

She used to send money home.

I spoke with some people

in the industry.

Sheila was about to be a star.

Sheila was working

with Juice Talent.

Juice? KK?

Why are you standing here?

Go and serve!

I agree.

Nothing beats the taste of freshly

hunted meat. - Yeah?

The two of you didn't join

the entire season.

We caught this gorgeous,

gorgeous deer on the last day.

So tender!

It's the agency, buddy.

It doesn't even give me

a chance to breathe.

There's so much content being

made now. - Excuse me.

Jugnu!

Hey!

- Thank you.

Fabulous! - Oh,

come on, look at this lovely garden.

It made my job very easy.

How do you find time for this?

You just have to be passionate

about things. Believe in it.

Gardening in that way is like

It's like politics.

How are things with Jackson?

Good, good, yeah, yeah, good.

- Yeah?

That's good. Just a second.

- Yeah.

Oh God!

Hi, uncle!

How've you been?

- Good.

And what's this retirement

buzz I'm hearing?

Well,

it took me 30 years to realise

you cannot teach idiots anything

let alone history.

I am focused on writing my book now.

'Gender, Power and Colonialism.'

They'll probably

put a 'fatwa' on me for

my radical views.

But hey,

one must live one's truths, right?

I mean, it's not as if

you listened to us about

- Just one second.

I already see a difference

the confidence, the discipline.

I mean, you can

What happened to her?

I don't know.

You were telling me about Adeel.

Yes. Look

I know he is still young.

But KK and I really swear by the

British education system.

Call me old fashioned.

But the stature of an all boys

boarding school is incomparable.

Instilling brotherhood, passion.

They all turn out to be go-getters.

I get that. But

I can't send Salaar and

Sameer alone like that.

Mothers have to be strong, darling.

I think you should go and check

on her. - I should, right?

Go, go!

I'm going to join the boys

and their hunting talk.

God, stalker much?

How're you feeling?

Why is it called morning sickness

when it goes on all day long?

It'll get better soon.

Did you tell Jackson?

I gotta get back to work.

You should tell him.

Tell him!

It's all about achieving

geometrical perfection.

We've got to get the

cheekbones popping.

You've outdone yourself.

- Yes!

It's two sessions.

And the best thing,

it's completely non-invasive.

I mean,

it's not even surgery, so to speak.

Ladies.

- Hi.

This man, best in town.

Thank you, buddy.

You're much too kind.

Shahnawaz

Okay, come inside.

My bag's in the lounge.

- Okay!

Buddy. Ladies.

- Oh, sure.

Maria's friends?

- Yeah.

The models.

- Yeah.

I can get you some interesting work.

Who represents you?

Everything looks great.

Atiq's wedding will be even better.

I'm sure.

sh*t.

Sorry.

- Are you okay? Are you fine?

Wait, I Are you okay?

You came drunk?

- Drunk?

No.

I just

- Yeah.

What are you doing?

What is this?

Sorry, I'm late.

I've ordered a steak for you.

Rare, okay?

Yup, rare is good.

I'm trying not to eat meat

these days, so

Ma'am. Anything else, ma'am?

No, no, nothing else.

You go.

- Okay, thank you.

Hmm.

The steak here is fantastic.

So?

About the fire.

Did you find out anything?

Any update?

Police is looking into it,

but what will they find out?

You fingered the public.

They turned into maniacs,

as simple as that.

In the dark of the night

with no surveillance cameras

on that street.

Where does one go looking for them?

It's a dead end.

Bon Appetit.

By the way

Tanvir had a stroke, a few days ago.

Well, minor, but

He's been weak ever since.

And prison has never

been kind to anyone.

Specially those coming from money.

You broke my brother's heart.

What

Are you serious?

I broke his heart?

He made a career out of looting

everyone, and

I broke his heart?

- You married a f*cking n*gro!

You brought us disgrace.

To create a buzz,

you could've married someone white.

Like I did.

People would've gossiped for a few

days, then forgotten about it.

But no! You'd to marry a black guy.

It was only after that

bloody Jackson

that things went downhill

for your father.

He lost his edge, his sharpness

ended up in a f*cking prison!

Don't you walk away from me, Jugnu!

Hey!

Turn the fan here!

Too busy cooling his own pubes!

You like it, yeah?

Me too.

Those moves.

"Look at me."

"Come an take me in your arms."

"Come and quench my thirst."

"Come and me me tonight."

This one's hot too, but

This one's hotter?

This one, Shakeela Siddiqui

Is lost.

Lost as in?

As in

She's disappeared. Missing.

It's been two months.

Her dad filed a missing persons

report, but no luck.

Can you help

Boss?

You're asking so

I can.

You, sit No?

Jiya

These are the only clothes

Sheila had?

What do you mean?

The entire cupboard is full.

All her clothes were here.

I saw them.

Suitcase.

Sheila had a red suitcase.

It's not here anymore.

She came back and took her stuff?

Or someone else did.

How did it go with Ifti?

Don't ask.

I'll be outside.

If I catch Juice's Wi-Fi,

maybe I can access their system.

Okay.

"Youth!"

"Oh My God!"

"I am a naughty girl!"

"Naughty naughty girl."

"Naughty naughty girl."

What can I say?

It's the nature of our business.

Girls come, girls go.

Even if under contract,

you can't really force them to stay.

But this girl has vanished.

As in, missing.

She must be having a

fling with someone.

They all do.

She must have run away with him.

I really wouldn't worry about it.

And, why did you fire

Jiya from the agency?

Because she was asking questions

about Sheila?

Oh, is that what she's saying?

Look, if you fail to perform

you don't book jobs

why should I keep you on my roster?

Beauty aside

In order to survive

in this industry

you need guts.

Not all girls can hack it.

I accessed the archive files

on both Sheila and Jiya

from the Juice database.

Look at the agreed amount

for this commercial.

And the talent agency's commission.

It was in Juice's interest

to keep Sheila around.

What is this product? Jalwa?

"Jalwa showed its splendour"

"and in no time I was"

"light, light!"

"My skin so white, white."

"Jalwa worked its magic"

"and now even he says"

"bright, bright!"

"My skin so white, white."

In the '90s, Jalwa fairness cream

and powder were famous.

Then fell off the grid.

Now they're rebranding Jalwa,

and launching it again.

A new advert was to be

shot for the relaunch.

Sheila was hired for it.

It would be a part of Sherry's

skincare and makeup line.

Sherry, from Sherry's Salon.

"I am the queen of lightening."

"I am the queen of lightening."

"They call me 'hawa hawai'!"

"Hawa hawai!"

She was pretty.

Had a fair complexion.

And I've always been keen on

giving new talent a chance.

Enough with the same,

overused actresses!

Stars. What stars?

Why would Sheila leave

this opportunity?

That is the problem.

These girls don't understand

commitment.

Last minute, I'd to find a

replacement for the TVC.

What base are you using, dear?

NC 45.

Apply 35.

Why are you making her darker?

And apply it on the neck too

so the shade matches.

So, Sherry

why was Jalwa off market

for so long?

Competition, darling.

Competition.

My husband Well, he's dead now

but he ran the business

until he was alive.

New products kept coming

into the market.

And we stared losing out.

Eventually,

I'd to sell the company's

majority shares to save

it from bankruptcy.

Wow.

Remember,

there was an actress named Tabinda?

She also used to be

the face of Jalwa.

Yes.

- Am I right?

Tabinda.

She was a star in the true sense.

Dream girl of that era.

Life is strange, isn't it?

With time,

everything comes to an end.

Tabinda Rafi.

Old school Lollywood.

Maybe red-light district, not sure.

In 1997, she became the face

of Jalwa for a few years.

And by 2012,

she retired and moved to Islamabad.

I dug out her address.

One of us should visit her.

Hmm. Maybe.

But what about this?

Resham and Munni are already on it.

Mister, don't lose them.

Yes mister, please drive faster.

Go closer.

- But not too close!

What if we get caught?

Fate keeps bringing us

back to this hotel!

All we do in this job is smell sex.

She's here!

Wait on the side. I'm coming.

I will sell her stuff!

So then where did it all go?

How do I know?

She left me and ran away, the b*tch!

Said she loved me.

You're still using, aren't you?

When there's nothing to hide

- f*cking nothing to hide!

Are you that dumb?

They'll throw me in prison.

You You promise me.

Promise me that you won't

tell anyone, anything.

I won't.

Don't blow the money on meth!

So, Jiya was lying?

Madam, please

Co-operate. It's for your own good.

Eat!

- Eat this?

Yeah.

I think,

I shouldn't have brought you here.

Then why did you?

- What do you mean, why did I?

Why did you bring me here?

I thought you'd like it. - Boss,

I've been trying for so long

to have dinner with

you just one time.

And you brought me here.

Listen,

we can even go to a food stall

as long as it's clean.

Clean can go f*ck itself.

What the f*ck is this idiot doing?

Dilbar, you need Stop!

Stop! S

I'd to literally walk through

fire to get this chance.

And it took you no time

to show me my place.

Hey!

- What the

f*ck!

All of these people

are f*cking nuts.

Hello. What?

I'm coming.

Everyone isn't designed to rule,

or to be in a position of power.

Some operate at their best

capacity when subjugated.

That's a fact of life.

Is that what's in your book?

Well, part of it, yes.

I go into a lot more

detail about how

the lack of stratification

leads to disorder.

Where did you go to school, Ifti?

Ah!

I was briefly at Grammar

then a boarding school in Kent,

and then Oxford.

What about you, Jackson?

Where did you study before

you went to New York?

Me?

I went to a state school in Croydon.

Anyway.

So, what I was saying, was that

History shows us that

as devastating as certain

situations were, or

appeared to be at that time

they served a bigger purpose.

Of streamlining and

Placing communities where

they belonged.

You talking race?

I think,

what Ifti is trying to say is

Look

I'm not talking about you lot,

but for us

Say, take the Raj for instance.

People like painting it in a

Terrible light,

as some dark period in our history.

But truth be told, we

Needed them to fix us up.

After all,

there's something to be said

about the natural hierarchy

of colour.

Whoa!

- Hey, hey, hey!

Jackson, back off. Hey!

- Please, Jackson.

Jackson!

What's wrong with you, man?

Back off. - Back off, Jackson.

Back off, Jackson!

This is what you married! This!

I told you it's in their blood,

in their DNA.

They can't help themselves!

Go home, Jackson!

A garden party.

A f*cking garden party.

A rabbit. A peacock.

A mineral water pool in a country

where people die

because of lack of drinking water.

Who the f*ck are you people?

Please, go home. Just don't

Don't say anything else, okay?

You know, I love you, right?

You're my man. You're my beautiful

- Your beautiful black man?

Your rebellion?

One life you got.

One f*cking life.

And this is what you

guys do with it.

Alright, Ifti? Sure?

- Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

Come, have a seat.

Just get some water.

What was going on with you?

Nothing.

I think, I

Needed time, I guess.

I wasn't getting over

what had happened.

I needed to be with my kids

my husband.

No way we can claim insurance

on the arson.

It's going to be a complete

write-off, as expected.

I'm sorry.

You're alright. You're safe.

That's all that matters.

KK called.

He was saying something

about you visiting

digging around for someone?

I thought, we stopped all that.

It's stopped.

But this is personal.

This girl used to work for me.

I promise you, it's nothing like

before, I'm being very careful.

In fact,

Jugnu is handling everything, so

There's nothing for

you to worry about.

I trust you.

You were right.

It's not the universe,

but people who f*ck us up.

That too, those we consider our own.

Talk to Babli, apologise to her.

There's one good thing in your life,

you'll lose that too.

Don't let go what is yours, dear.

Are you done? Leave.

Go.

m*therf*cker!

- Open the f*cking door!

Nobody moves!

- Get back!

Stay still,

or I'll blow your brains out!

Step back!

sh*t!

f*ck! f*ck!

Get off me!

- You little b*tch!

We were gonna get married.

I was to leave all this. Just

I needed a little more time.

When Sheila called me

for the last time

She was crying.

She said she can't do all this.

Can't do what?

This fake, superficial work.

She was offered this face cream ad.

Sheila didn't want to do it.

Was that it?

Then why did you hide?

I got scared!

Police t*rture for no reason.

Force a confession

He's spewing lies, the junkie.

Take him, boss.

What is all this?

Boss, I'm telling the truth.

Boss, I'm telling the truth!

- Nothing. Come, you f*ck!

I don't know where she is, sir!

I don't know where she is!

Sir!

- Speak!

m*therf*cker!

You gonna lie to me,

you sisterfucker! - Sir!

You liar!

- I don't know. Sir!

Tell me.

- I don't know, sir!

Sir, I don't know!

I really don't know.

Get him down.

He's my brother.

He's got a good heart.

He's decent.

But he just got addicted.

How long have you been escorting?

She was going to be a star

And you were going nowhere.

Junkie number one.

It must have hurt, right?

To see her on TV

On the internet.

Oh lover boy.

"Oh lover boy. Oh"

Strangers getting horny

over your girl.

You couldn't tolerate it, right?

Sir, that's not it.

Look at me.

Everyone thinks you're an as*h*le.

You're a demon in everyone's eyes.

But what I see

Is a helpless

Innocent child.

Yes, sir.

You You can see, right?

You understand, right?

A child

That is tired

Of running

And now he is

desperate to tell me

the whole truth.

Yeah?

It's our bit on the side.

Money is good.

But it's not what you think.

I don't have sex with them.

I just give company.

We have dinner together.

The men open up to us.

The way they can't with their wives.

But I never attended those parties.

It's my fault, sir.

I used to ask her to

go to those parties.

What parties?

If I'd just stopped her,

she would be here today.

Tell me.

What parties?

I'm here for you.

Actresses and models

from the industry

The new, upcoming ones

They go there.

They entertain the men.

The agency organises it all, sir.

The girls are made to sign an

agreement, so they keep quiet.

I've heard there's a different

ambience there.

At a secluded beach hut

Late at night

Wealthy, older men come there.

I was never invited, but

Sheila used to attend regularly.

I know what you must be thinking.

What kind of man does this?

But there was money, sir.

I was helpless. What was I to do?

I kept sending her,

and she kept going.

Sir, I made a mistake.

A huge mistake!

Green or red?

Sir?

I'm gonna burst your a*s

open with chillies.

But you can decide, red or green?

Sir, no. Sir!

- Sir, forgive me.

It'll burn, sir!

Sir, forgive me. - Grind it well

and shove it all up his a*s.

Sir, forgive me. I know nothing.

I didn't do anything.

My a*s will be on fire!

Oh, nothing will happen.

Nothing at all.

Yes, it'll burn, you c*cksucker!

- Forgive me, sir!

I don't know anything!

- m*therf*cker!

There's something you should know.

'Hello?'

'Hello?'

Hey, Jackson.

- 'Hey.'

It's uh

I uh

Sorry, is this a bad time?

'Um, no.'

'Is everything alright?'

Yeah, everything is fine. Just

Are you

Do you have guests over?

- 'No'.

'That's Elijah.'

'My son.'

'Hello?'

'Hello?'

'Hello?'

'Jugnu!'

'Hello?'

What is it?

Jackson, I

I am

Nothing. Just uh

It was a good ride, wasn't it?

One good thing came

out of the stroke.

My daughter came to visit.

Jackson has a son.

That's good.

We decided this together, Jugnu.

No, you decided.

I just went along with it.

Because you were my father.

How could you make a wrong

decision for me?

My love, I tried

to protect you.

If you and Jackson had a baby

Then he wouldn't look

as 'white' as us?

I didn't even tell him.

There was no need to tell him.

Your life was here.

His was in New York.

He may have stayed if he knew.

And you wanted to cage him

through fatherhood.

And you would've flown

away yourself.

Just like your mother.

You have to find Sheila.

"When you look for me, and

call for me; I will call out."

'In this city of 15 million'

"These

self proclaimed protectors"

'There are 15 million monsters'

"When you look for me, and

call for me; I will call out."

"When they tell you"

'Who will find 15 million ways'

'To tear you up,'

'cut you open'

"When you look for me, and

call for me"

'And swallow you whole,

in the blink of an eye.'

"He is the keeper of the night!"

"This can't be true."

"Let's read on"

"Look for it."

"I can't locate you."

"When god questions me,

I will dance my way through."

"She has become the keeper"

I found Mehak.

She lives in a girls' hostel.

She's using her birth name.

"I am a seeker."

"My father is looking for me"

"My mother loves me."

"I will placate my own."

"They have become the keepers."

"She is in trouble."

"She did not draw boundaries."

"She is in trouble."

"She is in trouble."

"When you look for me,

I will call out."

"When the keeper of

the night speaks"

"Too many troubles"

"Forget your problems."

"This should be buried in

the night."

"Get rid of your problems."

"She is in trouble."

"She is in trouble."

"When you look for me,

I'll call out"

'And inside the belly of a beast,'

'what beauty will you find?'

"The keepers of the night."

"When you look for me,

I'll call out."

"They are keepers of the night."

"Keepers of the night."

'You'll have to come! Come with me!'

'Leave me, you bad wolf!

Where are you taking me? Help!'

'I'm saying come with me!

- Somebody, save me!'
