"He is very tight." "Boss, can I go first?" "There will be no nonsense." "You always make fuss on taking turns." "It is your habit." "Hold this." ""You are great..."" ""You are wearing a black top." "Listen up, girl."" "How did he come so early?" "Hello." " Hello." "Is Saifee free to go?" "What do you mean?" "You didn't take him with you?" "We thought you did." "He is not here since the last half an hour." "I think he must have taken the bus." "No, how can he go in a bus?" "You are sure he isn't here?" "Sir, we didn't move from here." "Okay." "And the eunuchs who are always here?" "They didn't return from their work." "Their place is locked." "Okay." "All the trouble this family is facing is because of you." "I wish you husband would have killed you." "Where not did I look for him." "I pray he is already dead." "I will get your dinner." "Oh, my God." "Mother." "Mother, Saifee is back." "My dear." "Chanda, come early tomorrow." "I will get worried if you don't." "Okay?" "Goodbye." "There must have been other people around as well." "Why didn't you scream, my child?" "They had stuffed cloth in my mouth." "My child." "My son." "My child." "Tara was saying..." "That I can never be a man." " No." "No." "No." "No matter how much I try to work in the end I will have to dance like them." "No, Saifee." "No." "I made a mistake." "I will never send you there again." "I give up." "I give up." "No." "No." "No." "Saifee." "Father, what are you doing?" "Let go of him." "Father, let go of him." "Saifee." "Zainab, what happened?" "Zainab, what happened?" "Zainab?" "Stop your drama." "Keep your voice down." "Saifee." "Saifee, my child." "You killed him, my child." "You killed him." "My child." "What happened, sister?" "Saifee." "Saifee." "Saifee." "Saifee." "Saifee." "Saifee!" "Saifee!" "Brother Saifee." " It was necessary to do this." "Had he lived, I would have died everyday." "Saifee." " Father, I don't understand." "You believe in God and yet you hate his creation." "A swine is also a creation of God." "Now say that I should love a swine as well." "He was worse than a swine." "A swine has one plus point that he is born in his own clan." "So his family doesn't die of shame." "So father, it was his fault that his family weren't swine like him?" "What if the same swine was born a generation earlier?" "You wretched woman." "Enough, father." " Saifu." "Please go away from here before I forget my limits." "Saifu." "Saifu, my brother." "I will go and make a phone call, okay?" "Please give me my phone back." "Thank you." "I feel like going to the police station but I have stopped myself because of his daughters." "You are doing the right thing." "I don't know, mother." "I feel we will do them a great favour if we get uncle Hakim arrested." "What are you saying, son?" "He is their father." "Father." "Hakim, I am sorry to have heard about your son." "Though I am a very busy man but since you live in my area I thought I must visit you." "Thank you very much for the trouble you took." "And I wanted to make a request to you." "...once you have attend all the people." "Please come to the police station for five minutes..." "I want to discuss something very important with you." "There is nothing to worry about." "Stay cool." "It's a question of someone's life, Mr. Sherazi." "I am sure this girl is innocent." "You please wake up the president and stop this execution." "What are you saying, ma'am?" "He is the president of this country." "How can I wake him up at this hour?" "Please, try to understand my position." "Sir, I know you are a nice man." "I am sure you will find a way." "Okay, I will call you back." "Sit down." "Sit down." "Mr. Hakim, you are a very decent and respectful man." "I don't want to use the normal police tactics on you." "I am sure that you won't lie in front of God." "How did your son die?" "Please move this sacred book away from me." "Your suspicion is indeed correct." "Why did a decent man like you have to do something like this?" "Killing in the name of honor must not be something new for you." "Great." "Daughters are killed in the name of honor." "I wish he was a daughter." "Now the issue is that despite your confession we will have to get the postmortem done." "What do you say about this?" "Help me." "I have a lot of daughters." "What will happen to them?" "You should have thought about this earlier." "Don't you know how the world works?" "I implore you in the name of God let this matter die down here." "If it was all in my hands then I swear I would have done so." "But the entire police station knows about it." "And that eunuch who reported this incident is sitting outside." "How can I stop so many people from talking?" "Who will dare to speak in front of you?" "No, sir." "They will have to be silenced with money." "I know this is bribery." "But God knows that I won't take a single penny from it." "Now it is for you to decide." "God knows that I have managed the funeral by taking a loan." "Great." "How sad that I am putting my job at stake to save you and you are..." "Deen Mohammad." "For God's sake..." "For God's sake, don't get angry." "Listen to me." "Wait a moment." "Use your brains, Hakim." "You can earn the money again but you will never get your life back." "Request your relatives." "Take advance from your patients and try to save your life." "How much will I have to arrange for?" "If it would have been a rich man it wouldn't have settled for less than 15 to 20 Lakhs." "But you are poor." "You arrange 3 Lakhs." "But today itself." "I cannot hold the report registration till morning." "But 3 lakhs is..." "Oh no." "Last time." "2 lakhs." "Final." "That's it." "And consider yourself under arrest." "My men will be with you." "Now hurry and arrange the money fast." "Go get water." "Did anything work out?" "Whoever I ask tells me his problems." "I wish I had killed her instead of him." "Mother, tell father to pay it from the donation to the mosque." "Anyway, according to him by killing Saifee he has rectified God's mistake." "God must be very happy with him." "He should take advantage of the situation." "This girl will make me go to hell." "Sister is right, father." "Return the money back as soon as you can arrange for it." "No one will come to know about it." "It belongs to Him." "Can anything stay hidden from him?" "He knows about your helplessness as well." "Think of how I will handle so many of them alone." "How will I arrange for it later as well?" "If we won't be able to arrange for it then we will sell this house." "Why didn't you think about this?" "Now... now don't say a word." "Please go ahead with it." "For the sake of the prophet." "It is 2 lakhs?" "You know I won't take a single penny out of this." "With your permission" "I will keep the sacred cloth with me as something auspicious." "You can leave now." "Go and sleep peacefully." "The first night of your new life." "'The burden of taking the donation money... ' '... made father forget all his principles and standards.'" "'He started wandering in search of work.'" "'To take up any job you need a special skill... ' '... which father no longer possessed.'" "'All the doors closed.'" "'And everyone in our house was sad.'" "'One day he all of a sudden remembered something.'" "'He stopped eating and stood up.'" "Hello." "I want to go to Chaudhary Isaac's house." "Hey Sheedaan, where is my top?" "Excuse me, is Chaudhary Isaac at home?" "Tell him a gentleman is here from Lucknow." "Are you blind?" "Can't you see such a big corpse lying there?" "Mr. Chaudhary?" "Mr. Chaudhary?" "Mr. Chaudhary, wake up and look, Indian currency is here." "Pheekey, is everything alright?" "Mr. Chaudhary, look over there." "Mr. Hakim, you?" "Welcome." "Welcome." "Come... come." "Have a seat." "Pheekey, tell Kala to send two glasses of buttermilk." "Okay." "Don't take the trouble." "Mr. Hakim, you will have trouble drinking it." "Not everyone can digest Kala's buttermilk." "Now tell me why have you blessed me with your presence?" "You had mentioned about teaching Quran to your children." "Yes." "I did." "But later I came to know that you are not from our sect." "So I was relieved that you..." "You want me to teach Quran." "And I wonder how..." "But Quran is the same for Shias and Sunnis." "Yes." "You are right." "But still, you might end up saying something which is not from our faith." "I am in need." "I promise I will keep control over my tongue." "I swear upon the Great Ali." "Great." "Great." "Ali solves all problems." "Look, how your problem and my trouble got resolved." "Here, let's have it." "Consider yourjob done." "What time will be fine with you?" "Sometime after noon and before sunset." "Why not in the mornings?" "You are so naive." "We are up all night and go to sleep in the morning." "We wake up at about 4:00pm." "You came over at 5:00pm and teach till 7:00pm." "Ok." "The time of your choice is fine... but if I could get the fees in advance..." "Today, I couldn't go to the bank otherwise I would have got the bigger notes..." "They are just as I collected last night." "Here, it's 2000 for four kids." "One thousand." "Two thousand." "Such dirty money will come in house now?" "He has promised to provide." "He didn't say how, when and where." "It is possible this is how it was meant to be." "I think all the troubles have zeroed in on us." "God gives trouble to His people according to their courage." "It is a testing time." "We will come over it." "There are two more kids." "Have milk and begin." "This place is very different from the rest of your house." "It looks very pristine." "This is my Meena's room." "She is also quite pristine." "She is my granddaughter." "Give it up for Pulse?" "And now future doctors..." "The moment you have all been waiting for." "With the new addition of Aisha Khan." "Put your hands together for Taboo." ""You are always with me."" ""Be with me always."" ""There is no one so beautiful."" ""The one whose all the traits are liked by me."" ""No." "There is no one, but you."" ""Accept it from your heart."" ""Say it."" ""Say it today."" ""Say it."" ""Accept it from your heart.""

""Say it today."" ""Say it."" ""Accept it from your heart."" ""Accept it from your heart."" ""Say it."" ""Say it."" ""Say it."" "What took you so long?" "What can I do, sister?" "It started late." "We have been waiting since so long." "Hurry up." "Sister..." "Thank you." "We all follow the same Prophet." "This Shiah Sunni talk is all incidental." "Put an end to it." "I want you to marry your daughter to his son and become friends forever." "Look brother Zaffar, I honour your feelings." "But I will kill my daughter before such a thing happens." "Even God is showing you a sign to go ahead with this alliance." "Look, it is such a nice coincidence that his son's name is Mustafa (Prophet) and your daughter's name is Aisha." "(Prophet's wife)" "All praise be to Allah..." "What a great omen." "Three more daughters of mine have names of prophet's wives." "Should I give all of them to his Mustafa?" "Listen, you heartless Hakim." "Your Aisha likes my Mustafa." "Don't break their hearts because of your enmity with me." "I take back all my demands." "Just find a decent boy who will agree for a simple wedding at a mosque." "I cannot offer dowry for my daughter but my daughter is very beautiful." "Now my only condition is that this should happen as soon as possible." "This shouldn't take months or weeks." "It should be done in a few days." "Will you compromise on age?" "As long as he is younger than me." "What are you saying?" "She is a human being." "Not some trash that you will throw in the lane and anyone can take it away." "Look at her age." "You are making such an unsuitable match." "It is not as unsuitable as what she desires." "Before she also takes a wrong step like her sister Saliha we should get her married off." "But you..." " Enough." "There is no point arguing." "The wedding will take place on Friday." "He fathered you." "He has a right to make decisions." "He has fathered children, mother." "Not medicines, which he can give to anyone." "And place them wherever he wants." "I won't get married, sister." "Gentlemen, the mosque committee members are requested to stay back for a meeting after the prayers." "We had put a lot of decisions on hold while waiting for Mr. Sheikh." "The biggest problem is of Mr. Hakim." "He has told the committee a number of times that he no longer wishes to be the treasurer." "Sir, Mr. Sheikh has agreed to take on this responsibility." "Hence tomorrow, after the prayers in our second meeting, Mr. Hakim will get all the accounts and submit it to the committee." "This committee is very grateful to Mr. Hakim." "Now the second issue is of construction." "I tried asking wherever possible last time itself." "I am still falling short of 1 lakh 75 thousand." "What should I do?" "Why don't you apologize to the mosque committee and tell them the truth?" "Tell them that we will give it in a few days." "Kill me instead of giving me such a bad advice." "My father's 32 years and 40 years of mine..." "Have gone into earning respect in this neighbourhood." "You want me to let all these years of hard work go waste?" "Rather than getting angry think about what I am saying." "Why don't you ask the people where you go to teach?" "Why will they give me such a big amount?" "Yes, they might if I give this girl to them in exchange." "They won't give a penny for me." "If you offer the young ones then perhaps..." "Wretched woman!" "For God's sake." "This is not the time to get angry." "I am not asking you to beg for it." "People like them have a lot of money." "They can buy our house immediately." "If they can't buy it then let them mortgage it." "Mr. Hakim, you at this hour?" "Allah, rid my child of all her problems." "Hello, sister Suraiya." " Hello." "Zainab has told us." "Can't think of what to do." "I wonder why this man is so hardhearted." "I have an idea to resolve this problem." "But I am scared that you might or might not accept it when I tell you." "Tell me, brother." "Mr. Hakim..." "Enjoy the breakfast." "I will arrange for the money." "You will." " Yes, of course." "But only on the condition that whatever you told me is true." "Why would I lie to you?" "The donation money for the mosque..." "I am not talking about that." "Seven daughters." "Not a single son." "If you had been one of us then you would have been a millionaire." "I am so unfortunate." "After one daughter Allah gave me only sons." "I had to put a stop at it after the fifth son." "Mr. Hakim, 1 lakh 75 thousand is a big amount." "But my house's value is much more than that." "Look, Mr. Hakim, I have no interest in your house." "I am very straightforward person." "You will have to give me one daughter." "You..." "Mr. Hakim, please sit down." "I am not talking about what you think I am." "May Allah always keep your daughters safe and sound." "I am not talking about them." "Have a seat." "Then?" "Allah has blessed you with such a talent that if this news spreads in around the women of this area will tear me down to get to you." "I didn't get you." "What talent?" "You can produce girls." "Such a man is a real gem among us." "A gem." "A walking bank account." "I am not getting you." "Come straight to the point." "You will have to produce a girl child." "Especially for me." "You will be the father and my Meena will be the mother." "I am giving you the money for the girl child in advance." "This is such a nonsensical thing." "Who told you that it is up on a man to produce a girl child?" "Well, our business runs on daughters." "Who will know this if not us?" "Hakims and priests initially falsify scientific things." "It is a proven fact that the gender of the child depends on the man." "And the woman plays no role in it." "This is nonsense." "You can go and confirm it with a doctor." "Assume that I agree with you then tell me what if it is a boy?" "Then you can take him with you." "You will get a support for your old age." "This is my decency." "Otherwise I could have also said that you would have to pay the money back if it is a boy." "I didn't say it." "It is a gamble." "Looking at your record I feel like taking the gamble." "Such a huge amount for a girl child?" "A girl child?" "A good looking girl child makes life easier for 2-3 generations of ours, sir." "The amount you are asking for is worth only a single dance performance." "The decision is yours to make." "How far is the mosque from this place?" "Far?" "The mosque is just two steps away from here." "I agree." "But I have a condition." "I don't know whether or not it is a tradition in your place but I will marry her... properly." " Done." "Should I arrange the money?" " Yes." "Just a minute." "You will have to place your hand on Quran and promise that no one will ever know about me." "Here neither does anyone ask for a father's name nor does anyone know it." "I swear on God..." "I, too, don't know." "Thanks to the one who got me through this test." "Welcome." "Welcome." "Hello." "I... was waiting for you." "Though our woman don't bother about the age and the face of their clients but Meena is a different kind of girl." "I fear she might hide on seeing you like this." "If you are the groom then you should look like one as well." "With the settlement amount of Rs.50,000 do you accept it?" " I do." "Congratulations, sir." " Wish you the same." "Congratulations, sister-in-law." " Congratulations." "Congratulations to you too." " Wish you the same." "Congratulations to you as well, sister-in-law." "Wish you the same, brother." "Your marriage with Safina has been fixed with a settlement amount of Rs.5 lakhs." "Do you accept it?" "Do you accept it?" "I do." "Why are you so surprised?" "Meena is a very tasteful girl." "I had kept her free of appointments today." "But a very generous patron Mr. Mallik had an advance booking." "She is with him." "But she will have her meals with you." "Why don't you rest till the while?" "Goodbye." "Hello." "I saw your feet." "They are very pretty." "Don't place them on the floor." "They will get dirty." "You are?" " Meena." "Why did you get up?" "Keep lying down, sir." "Look, I am helpless but that doesn't mean that I should be made fun of." "What made you feel that I am making fun of you?" "God forbid." "I am certain that it is so." "Otherwise, the manner in which you are talking is not the practice over here." "And what you just said about my feet..." "I think you haven't seen 'Pakeezah'." "Otherwise, instead of getting angry you would have been praising me." "Who is Pakeezah?" "I am not talking about a girl." "It is a movie." "You haven't watched it?" "I don't want movies." " Really?" "I thought you, too, watch a lot of them." "That is why you address yourself so royally." "This is how we speak in our place." "It was considered bad to talk informally." "Well, your speech as well as the vocabulary is confusing me." "You are getting confused for no reason." "I have seen movies like 'Umrao Jaan' and 'Pakeezah' hundreds of times." "Only then was I able to catch up this language and style." "I feel that a courtesan should be of Lucknow otherwise it is better to be born in a decent household." "She is Ms. Meena." "The heroine of 'Pakeezah'." "Imitating her I changed my name from Safina to Meena." "Now let go of your anger." "And introduce yourself to me as well." "My name is Shafathullah Khan." "Excuse me, Ms. Meena." "Mallik's driver is troubling us as if he is dying." "He keeps asking whether he should leave." "Let him die." "Ask him which mother of his is he so eager to go to." "And you too should control yourself." "You keep interrupting me." "Get lost." "I will ask them to send dinner." "Do you also sleep in this dress?" "Morning." "Good morning." "Come." "Don't be scared." "He, too, is a member of our family." "Like you are, now." "Ever since I grew up this is the first time I missed my morning prayer." "Meena will sleep till afternoon." "You can say your prayers." "Let's go." "Come on." "We should note down this date." "That on this day so much sweets came at home but Hifza didn't even touch it." "I can't eat it out of fear." "Instead of getting scared think that there will be at least one of us who will live happily as she wills." "And the hell that will break lose here..." "Nothing is going to happen." "What is the most that can happen?" "Hell is on its way." "Everyone in this house has forgotten how to greet someone." "Hello, father." "Father, tell me whether I should get you a stick or kerosene and a matchbox because I have committed a very big mistake." "But I gave it a thought before doing it." "And I am ready for any punishment you give me for it." "What have you done now?" "I didn't want you to do with Aisha what had happened with me." "Hence I forced mother and got Aisha married to Mustafa." "You wretched woman!" "Disloyal woman!" "Sister." "What are you doing?" "Let go of her." " You are shameless." "What have you done?" " Let go of her." "Let go of her." "You have ruined your family." "Will you listen to me once she is dead?" "What kind of a man are you?" "Ma'am, you are putting undue pressure on me." "The president doesn't pardon a death sentence if I tell him to." "Who is asking you to pardon it?" "I am just asking you to stop it." "I mean once the case reopens I am sure she will get pardoned." "I know that this girl is innocent." "Hello." "Hello." "'Wadhuha'." "Not 'Wazzuha'." "Sir, you have been summoned." "Come on, go." "But this shouldn't happen tomorrow." "You are less of a Nawab and more of a priest." "And a very miser priest." "That day I said such beautiful things about your feet." "But you don't bother to praise me a bit." "Aren't my feet pretty?" "Your feet are so pretty that when you walk slaves should line up to keep their hands beneath them." "Great." "You said something better than the Nawab in 'Pakeezah'." "However..." "you didn't say it from your heart." "Why are you saying that?" "Look, my feet are right next to you but your hands seem to be elsewhere." "If these hands are always present will your feet follow me wherever I take you?" "You are planning to take me along so that you don't have to leave your unborn daughter here." "But I am saying all this for you." "I got married to you." "You are my honour." "Marriage was only your requirement, sir." "There is no such tradition here." "Tell me, will it be possible for you to leave your wife and daughters and go somewhere forever." "They don't have any other male member other than me to earn for them." "And here?" "And here, there is no other woman here to earn for them." "You... don't answer." "Tell that slut who started it all to leave the room." "Beware if anyone talks about stepping outside the house." "These girls will work?" "What will they do?" "They will work as an officer in an office?" "Will they open a clinic of their own?" "Or will they become Ministers in cabinet?" "Tell me." "Tell me." "Or ask that slut what she wants them to do." "What will uneducated girls do when they go out?" "Do you have any sense?" "I have started going to the red light area." "But I am not a pimp to make girls work." "Did you hear me?" "Father, I was just trying to support you." "I am feeling sorry for you as you have become so lonely." "Father, how will our financial condition improve under such circumstances?" "I needed a son to do just that." "But instead you witches came into this world." "One followed by another." "And who was the one who fathered them?" "We didn't force you to give birth to us." "You should have stopped after two or three." "You are the one responsible for this." "And you are blaming Allah for it." "A daughter of mine is troubling me." "She has started thinking very liberally." "She's started questioning the religion..." "Even the sayings of the prophet." "God Almighty." "What are you saying, Mr. Hakim?" "I am telling the truth." "I can see revolt in her eyes." "And venom in her tongue." "I fear that either I will kill her or I will be killed by her" "Yes." "I am sure you are making excuses." "Actually, you are scared to wake him up at this hour." "But, Mr. Sherazi, let me tell you that if you don't wake him up then I will create such a flutter on my channel that..." "Are you threatening me?" "Yes, I am." "A person will lose her life and you are concerned about the president of Pakistani's sleep?" "Who is he, after all?" "God Almighty?" "Okay." "Okay." "Please." "Don't get so emotional." "I will do something." "Don't get so emotional." "'When Mustafa became a doctor... ' '... he and Aisha got a lot of sweets and gifts for us.'" "'Everyone in the house felt as if our live has started now.'" "'I often used to wonder... ' '... that father's strictness made us go bad... ' '... instead of making a better human out of us.'" "'We had to hide even small legitimate desires.'" "'And we had to lie to hide them.'" "To hell with the media." "Now will the journalists decide who is guilty and who is not?" "After all he is the president of the country." "You shouldn't have even bothered to wake me up for such a nonsensical thing." "Go back to sleep." "Look ma'am, I spoke to the MS of the president as well." "This girl didn't say a word to defend herself in the session court, high court and supreme court." "All the testimonies were against her." "It is obvious that she got the death penalty." "Mr. Shirazi, I don't know why she did that." "But my heart says that she is innocent." "Ma'am, I wonder what else your heart says and does..." "But the government cannot follow your heart." "I am sorry." "Mr. Sherazi, you don't know what is going to happen to you." "When this recording will be played on the television the entire world will cry for this girl I will shout and tell everyone that I tried to save her till the last moment but the sleep of president of Pakistan was more important than this helpless girl's life." "This girl won't survive but you won't be spared either." "'Winter changed to summer praying and worshiping.'" "'And finally... ' '... that day came which gave father sleepless nights.'" "Mr. Hakim, you are also thinking about what's happening up there." "Let them leave." "And come here." "Come on, leave." "Come on." "Come here." "Come here." "Congratulations." "You have paid your debt." "It's a girl." "It's a girl." "Mr. Hakim, you have profited." "You make a deal with me." "I paid you 1 lakh 75 thousand for this girl." "I will pay you 2 lakh 75 thousand for the next one." "And 3 lakh 75 thousand for the one after her." "You keep producing girls and I will keep increasing the sum by 1 lakh." "Park a Mercedes outside your house instead of an elephant." "I will ask them to cover up and then call you." ""Be there." "Be there." "Be there."" ""Be there, my beloved." "Be there."" "All of you go outside." "Come on." "Welcome." "Welcome." "Here, welcome her." "Whisper the prayer in her eyes." "Bille, do everything else later." "First go and pay homage to Datasahib's shrine." "Go, my son." "Hurry up." "For God's sake spare me from this big test." "She is my child." "For your dead mother's sake give her to me." "I will go away." "I will take her and go away." "I will leave this city before they find out." "You..." "Let me take care of a liar like you." "We procurers are better than you." "We at least stick to our word." "Why didn't you think about your honour while taking the money?" "You can take my house instead of money." "Great." "Who will pay for the pain she faced for nine months while keeping the child in her womb?" "Get lost." "Get lost." "I won't even listen to a liar like you." "Listen..." "If I ever see you here again I will bring all your seven daughters here and put them to it on ten rupees." "Got it?" "It had been three days since father had eaten anything or spoken to any one of us." "'The worst part was that he had stopped praying as well.'" "'Finally, the secret got out.'" "Mother, a 'Burka' clad woman has come outside." "Is Mr. Hakim at home?" " Yes." "He is upstairs." "Who are you?" " My name is Meena." "Take this girl to Mr. Hakim." " But..." "Listen..." "Where are you going?" "Father, please come outside." "What is happening?" "Who is she?" " I don't know, mother." "That woman gave her to me and left." "I asked her to stop but she didn't listen to me." "What is it?" "What's happening?" "Father, a woman had come here." "She said her name is Meena." "She gave this girl." "All of you go there." "Suraiya, you come inside." "Who can she be, sister?" "I don't know." "I am wondering the same." "The girls will hear us." "I will tell the whole world." "This is how you are paying me back?" "Such a big deceit?" "You kept us as prisoners in the house and had fun in the name of preaching." "Stop this nonsense." "I will break yourjaw." "Think about yourself." "How will you face God?" "How will you face God?" "He will throw your prayers on your face." "Get up." "Get lost." "Oh, God." "I am dead." "Beware if you tell the girls." "Oh, God." "Oh, God." "Mother." "What happened, mother?" "Mother." "What happened?" "Have a seat." " Mother." "Mother." "What happened, mother?" "What happened?" "Tell me." " Mother." " Who was she?" "She was your father's second wife." "A courtesan." "She had come to leave your eighth sister." "That woman didn't stay here because of us, right?" "You go and get her here right away." "Because all of us are leaving this house in the morning." "I will kill all of you if anyone steps out of the house." "We will step out, father." "And stop threatening to kill us." "Otherwise, there is possibility that one of us might do what you couldn't do." "I don't know about others but I swear on God father, I thought about this a thousand times." "That I should either, gather all my sisters in a room and set ourselves on fire." "Or kill you." "Really?" "Raise your hand on me." "Kill me." "I am telling the truth, father." "Now if you try to keep us captured in this house then I will surely kill you." "Instead of this girl I will leave you at that place." "Father struck at sister." "It's okay." "This is our last night in this hell." "We will all leave this place tomorrow morning." "Shafathullah!" "Shafathullah!" "Open the door!" "You liar!" "Open the door!" "Open the door." "They have come for the girl." "Bille, get the wrench." "No!" "Don't!" " Don't!" "Father." "Move aside." " Father, leave her alone." "I said, move." " What are you doing?" "Leave her alone." "Move." "Father." "Father." " Father, leave her alone." "Father." "Father." " Father, leave her alone." "Father, I couldn't save Saifee." "But..." " No." "No." "Father!" "Salma, take the girl away." "Take her away." "Hurry up." "Give her to me." "You check there." "Shannu, you go there." "Hurry up." "Both of you come with me." "What happened to him?" "I killed him." "Where is my child?" "Where is she?" "Father killed and threw her somewhere." "Did you miss out any place?" "There are only two rooms." "That's it." "That's it." "Time is up." "Pack up." "Pack up, please." "I cannot delay it any further." "If it dawns we will have to postpone it until tomorrow." "Stop your cameras." "Pick up your mikes from here." "Come on." "Come on." "Pick up your mikes." "Come on." "Hey." "Hey." "Hey." " Wait." "Aftab, take care of her." "I still have a lot to say." " Go down." "Let me speak." " Come on." "Come on." "Come on." "Everything I said will go waste." "For God's sake, wait." "I sought revenge from my father for giving birth to me." "My father didn't produce eight children." "He killed eight children." "I want to leave a question behind me." "And I want all of you to ask this question to this society." "The question is why is it only a crime to kill and not to give birth?" "Think about it." "Why isn't it a crime to give birth?" "Ask, why it is only a crime to give birth to an illegitimate child?" "Why isn't it a crime to produce legitimate children and ruin their lives?" "Make people understand they should not produce more beggars." "There are already a lot of crying faces and aging lives." "Why do you give birth to them when you can't feed them?" "Zainab..." "One second." "Cut." "Okay." "Zainab has left us." "Who is the culprit?" "The father who gave birth to Zainab but took away her right to live?" "Or the officers of bureaucracy who couldn't gather courage to wake up the president?" "Or is Mr. President responsible for it as he has instructed his officers that his sleep is more important than some Zainab's life?" "All these questions are important." "But the most important question is the one which Zainab has left for us." "Rashida Gilani, Central Jail, Lahore." "Sir." "Call for a meeting." "Let's have the whole cabinet there." "Leaders of all religious sects and all important scholars must be there." "Right, sir." "Sir, what is the agenda?" "It's a little long." "Note it down."
