"I've asked my Political Party to allocate... monetary compensation to the victim's families." "What about the people that you killed over the years?" "What have you done for their families?" "Look Colonel..." "I don't have a gun in my hands anymore." "Now, peace is my only weapon..." "You've been here just for a few days... and already you are an "Apostle of Peace"?" "Mr. Politician, you better find out who is behind this, or..." "Or what, Colonel?" "Or... it'll be an eye for an eye... and a head for a head!" "You're new here?" "Aren't you?" "Yes." "What's your name?" "Nasreen." "I'm Sikandar." "Where've you come from?" "Kupwara." "I'm from Kupwara too." "Really!" "When did you come here?" "About ten years back... after my parents were killed." "Was it the Army?" "No, Jihadis." "But..." "Let's get away fast." "Hold on!" "I want to check it out." "Its dangerous!" "You go on, if you like!" "Nasreen!" "Let's go." " What happened?" "Nothing!" "You were right." "Its dangerous." "Let's go." "We are safe now." "Ejaz." "He's here." "Look!" "Come." "Will you play against us now?" "You've got tell the Principal about those three." "I don't want to complain." "Then I'll go tell the Principal alone." "I don't want girls carrying tales for me." " But..." "This is between men." "Look, I'll handle it!" "How's the tea?" "Good, sir." "What did I do?" "You made a foul move with a Soccer ball." "Captain Singh, give him a "Red Card"." "With pleasure, sir!" "Sir, please." "I'm innocent." "I've done no wrong!" "This is Zahgeer's work!" "Zahgeer..." "Zahgeer..." "Salaam, Zahgeer!" "Salaam." "Makhdoom Pasha did tell me that you were in these parts too." "He sends his regards!" "Tell that mercenary bastard, times have changed." "Times haven't changed..." "you've changed!" "Yes." "I have..." "My path is different now..." "Zahgeer..." "Its time for peaceful dialogue... we won't achieve anything with weapons now." "Your Kashmir Peace Front, just wants to win the elections... what will that achieve?" "Peace." " Peace!" "In the guise of peace, you'll become a lap dog to the higher powers." "Don't forget..." "every dog has his day!" "I know what you are planning here... you have to stop." "Or else..." "Or else, what?" "Or else... its an eye for an eye." "Its always been an eye for an eye!" "This time, I'll have my eye..." "on you." "I'll need some time to think." "May Allah be with you!" "With you too." "Hai Allah?" "How many times have I told you to sleep on the floor?" "He's done it again, has he?" "Don't you make fun of him!" "Our Kashmiri Kaka has a battle scar." "Hai Allah?" "You men play games that are too tough on womenfolk." "I'll get a warm towel..." "Show me." "Sikandar, You have to watch those enemy feet when you have the ball." "There were three of them, Uncle Arshad... too many feet to watch." "They may be 3 or 30..." "If you're alone, make your single brain count more." "Break lt!" "Break the Black board!" " Go for it!" "Let's see if you can "Head Butt" a bullet!" "No..." "Brother..." "Sikandar" "Please, Brother... have mercy." "See you at the evening game." "Ejaz... don't!" "Well done, my boy!" "Well done!" "The state team selectors should have been here today." "God bless you." " Sir." "Now that's how a "Man" handles it." "I won!" "I won!" "And the First Prize for this Race, goes to Sikandar!" "And the First Prize for Cheating, goes to Nasreen." "Your run up to the Goal was amazing!" "It was as if those three..." "were scared of you." "What's the secret?" "I waved a magic wand at them." "Magic?" "What kind?" "Black magic!" "You picked it up!" "I used my single brain to tackle my problems." "Sikandar, guns are the cause of all our problems." "They were making my life hell!" "You don't know what hell's really like." "Salaam, brothers!" "Salaam!" "My Brothers, I know that we are few in number, but have courage." "By the grace of Allah, we will have a breakthrough soon." "Allah is merciful!" "I don't know which one of you informed on our plans." "I just wanted to set an example." "Bury him." "May Allah grant you all your wishes!" "May Allah grant me the power to fulfill all your wishes, Aunty!" "What is it that you want now?" "All I want is to fulfill my duties towards my elders." "So you think you are ready to fulfill your duties?" "You just tell me what you want Aunty, and it shall be done." "Well, since you're being so generous..." "I would like a Washing Machine." "A Washing Machine!" "Yes." "A Washing Machine!" "Make that a Washer-cum-Dryer!" "I'm so busy dyeing these Shawls, all day." "I hardly get time to do the laundry." "Washing Machine!" "I know how you feel, son." "Soon that day will come... when I'll demand a Washing Machine from you." "For now, let's just ask for Allah's blessings for your success." "Sure, Aunty." " Come." "We've caught only four as yet." "Question them!" " Ok, sir." "Have they spoken?" " Not yet, sir." "Your name?" "Name?" "Aslam Khan." "Aslam Khan." "Captain Singh, Search this building." "To the right!" "I'll take care of him." "I have information that there's a big operation being planned by your men." "These are not my men." "They are from the KAF" " Kashmir Azaad Force." "Soldier, check the roof." "I'm from the Kashmir Peace Front." "We want our freedom, but through peaceful means." "Too much talk, and very little action my dear politician friend." "Show me where's the peace?" "The seeds have been sown." "Be patient." "Patient!" "Attacks are being planned here... and you want me to be patient?" "Just a few days more, Colonel." "We'll turn a new page in the book." "Every page is coloured red in Kashmir by you politicians." "What do you people want?" "Nasreen." "New CD Player?" "New CD Player?" "Mp3." " Let me see." "Where did you get this?" "Lts a gift from my father." "What?" "It's a gift from my father." "Yeah, I know... these players are pretty cheap nowadays." "Made in China." "Its "Made in Japan"." "Original!" "Your father must love you a lot." "Yes, he does!" "He calls me, "Flower of Kashmir"." "Sikandar..." "Sikandar, what's wrong?" "If my parents were alive, they too would have a special name for me." "Don't you have your Uncle and Aunt?" "Yes... they love me a lot." "But... it's just different." "What matters more, is that they love you." "I hope to pay them back some day... especially my Aunty!" "When you become a famous Soccer player... you buy them whatever they want." "Listen." "My father wants to buy a new Music System." "Let's go and check one out at the electronics shop in Hazira Market." "You go on." "What will I do there?" "Come on." "It'll be fun." "Do they have Washing Machines there?" "Many!" "You want check out some?" "But, I don't have the money..." "They don't charge money just to see." "Let's go!" "Oh!" "Come on now!" "Come on!" "There it is!" "Let's go in." "Come!" "Go on!" "Look inside." "It's a little small." "So picky!" "How about that one?" "Is that a Washer-cum-Dryer?" "Let's check it out." "I can't figure out a thing." "Move aside!" "Make it stop!" "I can't!" "Do something!" "What's going on?" "Who are you people?" "Who touched this machine?" "Was it you girl?" "Tell me." "I'm sorry!" "I won't do it again!" "Leave her!" "So!" "We have a hero here!" "Please, please, leave him, don't hurt him!" "You stay away." "I'll teach him a lesson." "Now?" "No, no, Son!" "Sikandar... please!" "For God's sake!" "Let's go!" "Let's go... quick!" "That gun has become a part of you." "I didn't know checking out a Washing Machine would be so dangerous." "Does it hurt?" "It feels as if my head's been spun in a Washing Machine." "In a Washer - cum-Dryer!" "Salaam, brother." " Salaam." "Will everything ready by next week?" "We will be ready, Brother." "Brother Zahgeer!" "It's me!" "Javed, you should know better, than to walk up on me suddenly." "Everybody is pulling a gun on me these days!" "Who dares raise a finger towards someone under my protection?" "A little boy walked into my shop... and threatened me with a gun." "Is that what you call your "protection"?" "A little boy?" "Yes!" "A little boy!" "Sikandar, We want to play with the gun too... and, we want to join your group." "What group?" " Your Militant Group." "I don't belong to any Militant Group." "So, I guess, your father gave you the gun as a birthday gift?" "You may have a gun, but do you have bullets?" "Look up the barrel, you'll find out?" "We'll deal with him later!" "We'll get the gun for sure!" "Welcome, Sikandar!" "Do you only scare people, or shoot things too?" "You won't get very far!" "Please sir, its a mistake." "It will never happen again." "Don't be scared, brother." "I just want to see how you use your gun." "I..." "I don't know how to..." "Give me the gun?" "Don't be afraid." "Beretta 92 FS..." "Early Nineties model!" "The favorite companion of the first Jihadis!" "Where did you get it from?" "I..." "I..." "It belonged to my father." "Your father is a Martyr?" "Empty!" "You really fooled Javed, didn't you?" "By the way, what were you doing in his shop?" "I..." "I... just wanted to check out a Washing Machine." "You're thinking of..." "Washing Machines, at this age?" "My Aunt... she really needs one." "Come." "Success comes to the one who fulfills his elder's desires." "He said that nobody understands the motives of heroes." "The gun jumps in your hand when you shoot... so always aim slightly lower than the target." "I just have to shoot the gun..." "once." "But, what's the target?" "He'll tell me when the time comes." "Your favourite!" "Soon, I'll pay you back for all that you've done for me." "Really, how?" "I..." "I may be getting an award..." "for... for my Soccer skills." "I wish a lifetime of awards for you!" "Eat." "Uncle Arshad, why don't girls understand... that sometimes we have to fight for peace?" "Lts something to laugh about." "I wasn't laughing at girls." ""Fighting for Peace"!" "Have you ever heard anything as funny?" "Salaam." "Salaam." "Salaam." " Salaam." "Salaam." "Salaam." "Please come." "Yes!" "The Colonel has guaranteed no fresh encounters for the next six months... if there are no more bombings." "Our policy is not to interfere..." "either with the Army or with the Militants." "You are men of Allah..." "You have a responsibility towards the people." "It's not for us to try and change the paths chosen by either Zahgeer or... by you." "A target is just a target... be it an apple, a bottle, or someone's head..." "If the mind is focused on the reward, and the eye on the target... the hand will never tremble." "Nasreen!" "I got 10 out of 10!" "10 Goals!" "Wow!" "Not 10 goals!" "10 targets!" "I had my final shooting test today." "I shot all 10 targets out of 10!" "And now?" "And now, I get a brand new Washing Machine!" "What do you have to do in return?" "Tomorrow in Hazira market, I have to shoot my gun... just once!" "And the target?" "You're just jealous that I too can get gifts." "Hey Sikandar!" "Come here, Boy!" "Come here!" "Why weren't you at Soccer practice today?" "Sikandar..." "It was too crowded, Brother Zahgeer." "Who's the girl?" "Who's the girl?" "What girl?" "I told you not to tell anyone about me." "Who else knows about me?" "No one!" "No one!" "Who else have you told about me?" "No one..." "Liar!" "Brother Zahgeer!" "Brother Zahgeer!" "Allah!" "How did this happen?" "Brother Zahgeer!" "What happened Sikandar!" "I killed him." "Hai Allah!" "He hit me." "I couldn't bear it." "I shot him in reaction." "He didn't even know you were going to shoot him." "I'm talking about Zahgeer Quadir." "I killed him!" "I thought it was the man in Hazira market." "What'll happen now?" "Did anybody see you?" "Nobody's on the short-cut path in the morning." "Clean yourself up, and go to your classroom." "Bastard!" "Got what he deserved!" "Colonel Sahib, don't insult the dead." "Are you his sympathizer?" "No." "But, he was a human being after all." "Human Being!" "Zahgeer Quadir..." "Assistant Commander of the KAF." "A hard-core militant, wanted for 72 killings and... 22 bombings." "Human?" "Colonel, this will not help the peace process." "Mr. Politician, this is not our work." "This is probably because of internal fighting in the KAF." "This Bastard pissed off too many people." "I don't know whose work this is... but, please no more such encounters." "I implore you!" "His men will be looking for his killer." "If they raise even any eyebrow towards the Army... there'll be hell to pay." "I'll try my best to ensure that." "Get ready for a curfew." "May Allah have mercy on his soul!" "May Allah have mercy on all of us now!" "People will surely take revenge." "You have to put the word out, not to raise arms in retaliation." "They've struck a blow on the heart." "No one will listen to us now." "Maulvi, this is the time for you to be firm." "Hah!" "Our people will be holding their peace... while the Army will be conducting more of these "Encounters"." "I haven't lost hope." "I'll go to the people right now." "It may already be out of our hands." "Got you! "Tough Man"!" "He's not so tough without the gun, is he?" "Hit him!" "Get his legs!" "Throw him in the water." "Ejaz, its too close to the Soccer field." "Let him go..." "For God's sake!" "Please throw the gun away..." "Throw it away!" "We have to get the gun back." "But, where are they?" "They weren't even in school today." "Must be fooling around somewhere!" "In Saami Mohalla?" "Heroes don't rob people." "What should we do?" "Let me think up a plan..." "Got lt!" "I know what to do!" "Are we going to rob someone?" "This gun will get us entry into the KAF." "I don't think I am cut out for a Jihadi's life." "Huh!" "Scared, A Jihadi is a real life hero." "Yeah!" "Like Zahgeer Quadir." "Zahgeer Quadir!" "Brothers, I have news..." "What?" ""DEATH TO..." "ZAHGEER QU ADIR'S..." "KILLERS"" "Sikandar..." "Army!" "Quick!" "Hey you!" "What are you doing?" "I..." "I..." "We were just paying our respects to the dead." "Get lost now, before I send you where they've gone." "Come." "Sergeant." " Sir." "Go to the nearest Police Station." "Get two prisoners." "Hand over two prisoners." "But..." "It's my Captain's order." "Tell your Captain that we don't kill innocent prisoners." "I'm just following my orders." "Let me also receive my orders." "Sir..." "The Army would've been blamed for the School Kids' killing..." "I wanted to make it look like a "Militant Encounter" so..." "So, you decided to kill two innocent prisoners." "No one is innocent..." "All these people are killers... just waiting for their chance." "Kashmir!" "I wish man had never set foot here." "Under normal circumstances." "I would've taken action against you... but, we're all under a lot of stress." "So, from now on you'll work only under my direct orders." "Is that clear." "You are my Commanding Officer." "Its my duty to follow your orders." "Of course it is, Captain Singh." "And you'd better not forget it." "Any doubts?" " None, sir." "So now, school children are our new enemy?" "They breed Jihadis in their schools." "Captain Singh..." "Only a few rotten apples." "You know what they say about rotten apples in a basket." "Two more were hovering around." "A boy and a... girl." "Rotten apples are in everyone's basket." "We just need to find the right way to stem the rot." "Keep an eye on the kids." "The whole school is in mourning." "Do you think he'll remember me?" "You go home..." "I'll tell the teacher, you had a stomach ache." "But, he's watching!" "He's going..." "They all look the same!" "We'll come back." "Let us know if there's any information." " Surely, sir." "Salaam." " Salaam." "Have you heard the news?" "Zahgeer Quadir was shot and killed..." "Hai Allah!" "Zahgeer Quadir!" " Yes... and he was killed by three boys from Sikandar's school." "Where's Sikandar?" "He came home early, he has a stomach ache." "Oh..." "Where is he?" "Please forgive me, Colonel!" "I was forced!" "Zahgeer threatened to kill my entire family!" "Get up!" "When did you last meet Zahgeer?" "Tell me!" "It was the night I told him about the boy." "What boy?" "My stomach still hurts." "I don't want to go for Soccer practice..." "I don't want to drink milk either." "Drink it!" "Everything will be fine." "You know I hate milk." "You know I hate little boys who tell white lies..." "Drink!" "Who is it?" "Open up!" " Army!" "Aunty!" "Aunty!" "I'll hang a white shawl when it's safe to come back!" "Just go!" " Where?" "They're looking for you all over." "They'll throw me in prison for the rest of my life." "Only the Maulvis can save you now." "You should go to them." "How?" "I'll get caught in a minute." "This evening, I'm going to my cousin's engagement party." "I'll come and get you before that." "But, where will I hide till then?" "In the Old Water Tank." "Okay!" "Maulvi, I believe the boy is not acting alone." "I just want the truth from him." "He'll confess to us." "What we know... we'll surely tell you." "What do you have to say to this, Mukhtar?" "The Maulvis are our spiritual leaders." "No one hides anything from them." "Sikandar!" "Sikandar!" "Sikandar!" "Sikandar!" "Put this on." "Did you get this from my home?" "No silly, it's my spare Burqa." "A Burqa!" "They're looking for a boy, aren't they?" " Okay!" "Take this" " What do I need this for?" "Two girls returning from school will never be suspected." "Okay!" "You wait here, I'll get ready." "Let's go." "Sikandar, you go on alone from here." "Wait until I go inside." "I have to go all the way to Agha Chowk." "Don't worry!" "You'll be safe with the Maulvis." "Keep it on!" "There are soldiers everywhere." "Go now..." "May Allah be with you!" "Girls are not allowed in the mosque." "I am a boy." "Sikandar Raza." "I have to get inside, fast." "Why are you dressed like a girl?" "There'll be an uproar inside." "Now will you let me go?" "Where are the Maulvis?" "They are in the room at the far end of the mosque." "What's the world coming to these days?" "So he didn't sing the Azaan, and since he didn't... the sun didn't rise... the people were upset, and then he was ordered... to sing the Azaan, and then he did." "Sir, I'm Sikandar Raza." "We know who you are." "You're Zahgeer's killer!" "Don't worry son, you're under our protection." "Allah!" "Allah!" "This boy had a bomb in his School Bag." "You filth!" "I didn't do anything." "I swear!" "Welcome!" "But, where did he get the Burqa from?" "The same place where he got the School Bag Bomb from." "Tell me about the girl you saw with him at Saami Mohalla." "I don't remember too much." "They all look the same." "But, her eyes had a shine... liquid brown." "Ah... my darling daughter!" "My 'Flower of Kashmir'!" "Lts time you thought about her marriage." "She's my only true supporter." "But, one day you'll have to bid her goodbye." "Losing her will be like losing my life." "You love your daughter a lot, Mukhtar." "I love all the children of Kashmir." "Got it!" "Brother Mukhtar, please give me a few minutes." "Come in." "Why are you here?" "Now let me serve you from now on." "I..." "I have news!" "What's the news?" "There was a bombing in the Minar Mosque." "May Allah have mercy!" "The Maulvis, what about them?" "They are safe... with Allah's blessings." "Who was it?" "The same boy who killed Zahgeer." "The little bastard escaped..." "Thank you, Allah!" "You are merciful." "Brother Mukhtar, the army thinks he had help." "A young girl was seen with him..." "You... are an intelligent man, Javed." "Kashmir needs men like you." "Thank you!" "Mukhtar, you have to do something?" "I'll leave for the Capital tomorrow morning and seek the help of my Party." "Only the devil would commit such an ungodly act!" "I'll leave no stoned unturned to find this devil." "A fearless soldier will go to any length, to fulfill his mission." "I don't want to see even a single tear in your eyes." ""Flower of Kashmir"... the path to heaven always passes through hell." "Are you alright?" "I really loved that gun... and, I can see that... you love it too!" "Why me?" "You are a small price to pay for peace." "Put the gun down." "You wanted to be a hero..." "I did you a favor..." "I put you in Zahgeer's path." "Zahgeer's death was an accident!" "I just had to push the right buttons." "Nasreen, this time I'll shoot." "My daughter is a true soldier... she doesn't fear death." "Go get the gun, My Flower." "Kill me!" "Shoot me before they make me..." "like you." "We are safe now." ""HE'LL BE IN A WH ITE CAR ON GILGOTI ROAD AT 9 AM TH IS MORN ING." "TAKE YOUR REVENGE!"" "Let's go."
