Parizaad Episode 17 | Eng Subtitle | Presented By ITEL Mobile, NISA Cosmetics & Al-Jalil | HUM TV

I am making this statement while in my senses…

that the boy named Waleed and my employer, Madam Laila Sabah were killed by me.

Laila Sabah came to see me three to four days before her murder.

She gave me a letter.

And now you will say that this isn’t her handwriting, that someone else wrote it?

No, I can smell the scent of her hands from it.

After six months…

Are you still reflecting over that same thing?

I just don’t get why the the boss kill me along with Laila Sabah?

I’d wondered about the same thing.

...But I think it was your last request that saved you.

Last request?

Yes.

Remember when you requested the boss to get rid of your remains after you were killed?

Well this was what saved your life.

The boss never killed an enemy who was already dead.

Really? Was this the only reason?

Maybe there was some other far more valid reason.

Maybe had you tried to prove Laila Sabah a liar after she blamed you…

or maybe you would have received the first bullet had you tried to prove yourself innocent

...But your wish to die is what saved your life.

Who knows what else the boss had planned for you…

but destiny didn’t allow him the time to do so.

Brother, someone should go and get news of Parizaad.

I’m positive that my brother’s no criminal!

Dont you dare mention his name again!

No one will go to meet him!

He’s destroyed the honor and respect of his parents and his brothers!

Forget having ever gone to jail,

never has anyone of our seven generations ever even passed outside the premises of a jail!

The whole neighborhood is spitting at us.

But Parizaad is also our brother, brother Asghar.

He’s definitely in some trouble and Karachi isn’t that far that -

Enough!

The decision has been taken.

I’m in fact thinking that we should perhaps print an announcement in the newspaper…

that we and our family have no association with Parizaad.

And that we are disinheriting him from all our transferable and non-transferable properties.

What do you think is the time right now brother Feroz?

This is the third time since this morning that you’ve asked me for the time.

Pay attention to the tolling of the jail’s clock tower.

You’ll know what time it is by the toll of the bells.

I heard the sound of the four o’clock bell but

I didn’t hear the one hour bell that’s left to the 4:30 bell.

The clock tower will ring when its 4:30.

You’ll know then.

Why stress out over it?

Besides time takes on a different meaning for a prisoners doing time.

Time flies for the people moving around outside

but for those in here, time stands still… its like equal to a century.

Meaning that in prison…

the minute of the clock and the needle of the second feels like hours?

Yes.

Time stops when one is either in prison or when one is waiting for someone.

As I told you, don’t worry.

God will do whats best.

How can I not worry when my brother is in so much trouble out there.

I’ll go there and check on whats happening.

Since you’ll be going to Karachi, why don’t you just take me along with you?

Please, I want to meet my brother.

Karachi’s a huge city.

Remember how my problem was a minor one to do with the law court

and the kind of problems we ended up facing because of it?

These are very difficult matters.

Do you want me to go and search him out and do something for him

or do you want me to spend that time looking out for you?

I’ll keep you informed of my every move.

I’ll go.

Saeeda,

we’ve already lost the blessing of a child…

God has blessed us with another chance to see this happiness.

So crying and getting all worked up like this isn’t good for you in your condition.

God will do whats best.

I’ll leave first thing in the morning.

I’ll make sure I keep you informed.

Its whats best.

Has no one come to meet you from your family?

I don’t know about my brothers.

But my brother-in-law and sister wanted to meet me.

I stopped them from doing so.

I don’t want to add to their problems.

Here, take this.

Finish the cigarette and come inside, we’ll have lunch.

Thank you brother.

What were you telling me Balay?

It was about Parizad, brother Shauky.

The Parizaad that took the blame for my misdemeanor… he cant be a criminal.

No way.

He looks quite innocent of face brother Shauky.

Parizaad’s a gem.

...An absolute gem!

I’m positive he took the fall for someone else this time as well.

I know what he’s like!

That’s true brother Shauky.

I hear he’s locked up in some major league prison in Karachi…

and that his brothers have also announced their disassociation from him?

They’re all disgraceful… absolute disgraceful!

That’s true brother Shauky.

But I will go meet him in jail.

So will you be going to Karachi then brother Shauky?

I cant desert my buddy now can I.

That’s true.

Drink?

Yes, give it to me.

What was the lawyer saying?

He needed me to sign some important documents.

The boss has really left me in a to-do before leaving.

How will I ever manage everything?

You will have to manage it Parizaad.

My case is also going to be decided at my next appearance in court…

So try to understand whatever best you can from me.

While in this jail?

Obviously.

The outside world is an even bigger prison than this one.

And besides prisons are for poor people.

But if you have money in your pockets then

a prison is no better than the most comfortable house.

I’ve put in money for you.

You’ll get a ‘B’ class or separate cell to yourself.

If you want a fridge, television or whatever else - it’ll arrive in your jail cell.

You actually get all this out here?

As I said, a rich man is a lot more freer out here than the outside.

And a poor man even when living outside as a free man is a prisoner there.

You will get whatever you need.

I don’t want anything…

the only request I made of the lawyer was to drop off the boss’s books to me.

I want to read that which the boss used to read.

Lets go Feroz, its Feroz.

The Court awarded me death by hanging today but I died the day the boss died.

Don’t say that brother Feroz.

First it was the boss and now you.

How ever will I survive on my own?

One has to live for as long as one is destined to live Parizaad.

...And besides being alive can sometimes also become a sentence.

The boss had already put his house in your name.

And he’s left you so much that even your seven generations can live on it.

...Just…

look after the ones who’ve been loyal to him.

And don’t throw out his old house employees.

They have nothing to do with this business.

They’re going to want my head brother Feroz.

I wish I was also -

No!

Don’t say such a thing.

The guy’s going to take me to the place where they do the hangings now.

I don’t know if I’ll ever meet you again or not…

...but will you do something for me Parizaad?

You have only to command me.

Get my brother, Akbar, brought across from the village

He will have no family left once I’m gone.

He will prove himself loyal to you.

He will even die for you if that’s what you want him to do.

Please don’t leave me and go brother Feroz.

...Please don’t leave me.

we’re still observing mourning for Mr. Behroze.

One doesn’t get over some losses.

Days go by and time itself becomes a sorrow.

I don’t understand one thing Guru ji.

That is how could an ordinary police woman get Mr. Behroze to -

The boss didn’t give up his life out of fear of the police!

...And nor did the police kill him!

Love is what took the boss’s life.

This is why they say the thorn of love doesn’t even ask for water.

Dont ever fall in love.

Parizaad is still locked up in prison Guru ji.

He’ll come out.

Let him stay inside and learn some lessons in life about the outside.

The best university from which to learn our business is prison.

One enters it after having failed primary and comes out after doing ones a PhD.

And here the judges think they’ve sent a criminal to jail to reform him.

Tell your punters to take special car of Parizaad while he’s in jail.

This is a special order for those that are sitting in jail doing nothing.

On a cold winter evening in December…

with two fingers pressed to his mouth and whiffs of smoke passing through his lips …

...like when one pulls on an imaginary cigarette…

Looking at me thus she smiled and said…

Listen… you know how much I love the making of the circular clouds of smoke don’t you… but…

...you don’t smoke cigarettes.

...And you think you’re living life?

I wish you would become addicted to it…

and suffer the ailment of an unfulfilled love for an ascetic woman

And then your prayers were fulfilled…

and one more was ruined

I now drown myself in smoke…

and no longer know who I am

I pick on the nicotine that’s collected in my veins now and mix it with ashes of my heart

I then wrap it up in the beautiful silver foil of my memories…

and light it up with my very being

From this smoke of my separation from you, I make circular clouds of grief,

only to blow them in the air

While seething within myself I also run the world

By turning myself into ashes moment by moment…

...I try to get over my grief of you

Yes parizaad

Come

Your sentence is over

Five years later…

Greetings Sir.

Sir I’m the Rehan Saeed, the MD of the Behroze Group of Companies.

I have been in communication with you through our manager and lawyer Sir.

Yes, right… I remember now.

Why are you here?

We came here to receive you Sir.

Our lawyer had given us all the details early on with regards to your being released.

You are our boss henceforth.

Mr. Behroze gave you his company in his will.

I’d like to change out of my clothes first.

Yes, of course.

Please come this way.

Welcome Sir.

Uh… Sir, my name is Kamali.

I’m your manager, assistant, caretaker.

Caretaker?

We didn’t have anyone of that designation out here before?

That’s right Sir.

Sir this property was handed over to a Trust after Mr.Behroze’s death.

That Trust then created all these designations.

Greetings boss.

Greetings.

My name is Akbar.

I’m Feroz’s younger brother.

Okay… okay, fine.

I’ll tell you Sir…

you don’t need to deal with all these menial servants and all.

Sir, some employees have been living here and taking salaries

and doing nothing for the past five years.

We will now come up with a list whereby all of them can then be dismissed.

You are also included in the list of those that earned a salary these past five years.

Feroz was like an elder brother to me.

Henceforth you will be my personal bodyguard.

My life is in your hands.

Don’t worry Sir.

Death will find itself facing Akbar before it does you.

Sir please… lets go Sir.

May I come in Sir.

Come in Kamali.

Sir, the master bedroom in the main house has been readied for you.

If you’d like to come see it and if you want any changes to be made

I’ll get them done?

No one will touch the rooms that were in the use of Mr. Behroze Karim.

Leave them as he left them.

Alright Sir, I’ll let all the staff know.

You will not dismiss any of the new staff.

I, in fact, want you to distribute a bonus to everyone to celebrate my return.

Alright Sir… it’ll be as you wish.

Anything else that’s important?

Yes Sir, there is.

I needed to discuss something very important with you.

We need to get some new companies registered for business purposes.

What happened was that the courts had sealed some of our companies.

...So now we cant do business based on the old name.

If you will allow it then may I suggest your name for this?

My name?

No.

All those companies that require a new name now…

register them under the name of P Z Mir.

Wow, oh wow Sir, what a brilliant suggestion for a name.

‘P Z Mir’

Sir, ‘P Z’ are the abbreviation initials of your name.

...So ‘Mir’ must no doubt be your surname.

I’ll just message this to the MD Sir, Sir.

‘P Z Mir’

Sir

This is your office.

Fine.

I’m not disturbing you am I Sir?

When do you not disturb me Kamali?

I am your employee

and an employee’s job is to serve his employer twenty four hours a day Sir.

Alright so tell me, what did you wish to say?

Its such a beautiful evening Sir… and you’re sitting out here all alone?

If you will allow me,

I will get you a membership of either a Club or a top notch hotel?

Or if you’re going out for dinner… then should I arrange your escort?

I like solitude Kamali.

I dislike unnecessary throngs and large crowds.

But Sir, if one is surrounded by a few people who care for one then

one is entertained and feels lighter.

The feeling of loneliness disappears.

Why does one need to end the feeling of loneliness?

One comes alone in this world and one has to go back alone.

All this business in between… it’s just hypocrisy.

But Sir, you will have to go to Mr. Rehman, the business tycoon’s reception.

And that’s because he’s kept this dinner in your honor and yours alone.

In my honor?

But I don’t even know him.

But Sir, he knows you.

The entire business community is eagerly waiting to meet ‘P Z Mir.’

All their work is on hold… they have tenders which are pending.

And then all of them want to meet the crown prince and heir of Mr. Behroze Karim’s empire.

But I am not deserving of the title of crown prince to his empire.

He was a king among kings and I only a slave among slaves.

Just proving myself worthy of being his slave will be a huge thing for me.

I’d told you about the Garden Tower apartment.

What’s happened about that?

That work is done Sir but…

I don’t understand your wanting to buy an apartment in such a lowly place Sir?

We will be going to that place first thing tomorrow morning.

And there’s no need for a crowd of cars to accompany us… two cars are more than enough.

Tell Akbar to be ready to go.

Alright Sir.

Uh…

Wait downstairs for me.

But Sir…

Alright Sir.

Oh hey, who is it???

Coming

I think the newspaper hawker’s here.

Brother Parizaad, its you!

Shah Jehan!

Daddy!

Shah Jehan!

Come look who’s here!

You’re also too much -

Pari:

How are you Janu?

I’m fine buddy.

Thank you very much.

The staff told me that you left the job two to three years ago?

Why?

Its just that… it became difficult to work there.

I had to leave working there.

You also never came to meet me in all these years.

I really waited for you.

I couldn’t come… my job was such.

Hmm… Its good you did that.

Otherwise you would have unnecessarily come under Policeradar.

Anyways what happened, happened… you need to forget it now.

You’re going to come work with me now

and you’re also going to come live with me at my house.

No buddy… I can’t do that.

I’m very happy out here.

I’m well settled here.

Does this mean that you wont even work with me now?

No.

You have a different life now.

I wont be able to do it.

You don’t seem to happy about my release?

The courts acquitted me and gave me an honorable discharge.

I’m not a criminal.

I know that.

I know you arent a criminal.

But the police really harassed me after you were arrested.

...Its why I also left that job.

And it was different before.

I was on my own.

I was unmarried.

But now I have Mahi in my life.

I… I have my daughter.

I cant go through all that again.

Okay…

Today…

my visit here today...

might cause further difficulties in your peaceful life…

whatever you are thinking, may be correct..

Pari…This is not what I meant…

Brother Parizad...

At least have tea

In fact, I’ll cook food…

Brother don’t stay at their sisters’ place for long

On the 7th floor…

Apartment number 7 A…

These are its documents and its keys…

The documents are under your name...

But Pari brother, I cannot take…

I am not the one giving these to you…

This was promised to you by the Parizad…

who used to have the stale hard bread for breakfast with you and step out of the house…

I am sure you remember that time…

Won’t you give your friend a hug?

Forgive me…
