-
Please forgive me.
-
I got seduced by my old love.
-
Forgive me Agha…
-
Please forgive me.
-
That boy’s father was some ambassador.
-
He wont take this lightly.
-
He will definitely go in search of his son.
-
Why didn’t you say that she was deceiving you in order to go meet someone.
-
Sir, I couldn’t bear the thought of hurting your honor and
-
respect in front of your personal guards and security.
-
Fazal Khan…
-
How did that girl disappear?
-
The progress we made today just got wasted!
-
I’d hoped for a huge break in the case today
-
but when we got there we found a huge lock on the door.
-
And the administrator of the apartments told us that the girl,
-
Sarah, who was living in that particular apartment…
-
went off somewhere after locking up her place some two to two and a half months ago
-
and she hadn’t paid the rent either.
-
It’s very important to find that girl.
-
Have you noticed the coincidence of timing between this girl’s
-
disappearance and Waleed’s having gone missing.
-
You’re right madam.
-
The other information we have is
-
that the other girl who went to meet Sarah, came over with her guard and or chauffeur.
-
It’s important that we find her as well.
-
Hmm…
-
all these girl’s that have gone missing are disappearance.
-
somehow or the other linked to Waleed’s
-
Do one thing…
-
Bring me any and all the CCTV footage of the gates,
-
details of car number plates, their owners…
-
and names of all those that have come and gone from those apartments within these past three months.
-
We need to investigate these now.
-
Hurry up.
-
Yes Ma’am!
-
I’d like to stay here.
-
What if the boss needs me?
-
Or I may be able to assist him, if required.
-
These are the boss’s orders.
-
Besides he’s not too well after Laila Sabah’s death.
-
He’s totally broken down.
-
He’s least interested in any work or anything anymore.
-
I sometimes wonder,
-
How can one end the life of one’s most precious love with one’s own hands?
-
You need time to understand all this.
-
For now, get ready to leave.
-
You will be sent across to Guru’s by nightfall.
-
You need to stay there until your next command.
-
Who’s Guru?
-
He’s an old loyalist.
-
He was a master of his art in his day.
-
But he had to leave for some reason.
-
But his loyalty has never faltered to date.
-
One command from the boss and he’s willing to lay down his life for him.
-
Alright fine.
-
What’s the news?
-
Madam, all the entry and exit lists are present in this file.
-
There are some common names in it…
-
but there is one name that stands out from the rest.
-
Which name?
-
Its Behroze Karim, the Chief Executive of Behroze Group of Companies.
-
And it was on the same day that some cars that were registered on
-
his security manager’s name, came over there.
-
He’s a major tycoon.
-
He has many industries and companies
-
so, he must have many cars of his fleet going about in the city.
-
What’s the big deal in that?
-
Madam, the rest of the cars may belong to the staff and or escort
-
but this one car was from his personal fleet of cars.
-
It couldn’t be a staff car.
-
Hmm…
-
We need to be careful when investigating this.
-
One wrong move can ruin everything.
-
Behroze Karim is no ordinary man...
-
he’s a real big shot.
-
We could even lose our jobs.
-
Be careful.
-
Here, take this.
-
This is Guru’s den.
-
Excuse me Guru
-
but the boy is here.
-
Come inside.
-
You can leave.
-
So, you’re Parizaad.
-
I hope you had no problems getting here?
-
No.
-
Feroz has really praised you a lot.
-
You’re quite the loyalist to the tycoon Behroze are you?
-
Think of this as your own home.
-
Get some rest for now
-
We’ll talk again in the morning.
-
Show him the room next to Dilawer’s.
-
Alright Guru.
-
And where’s Dilawer?
-
Why isn’t he back as yet?
-
He said he would be a little late when he left.
-
Come.
-
Hmm…
-
This is your room.
-
Let me know if you need anything.
-
Yes okay, I’ll let you know if I need anything.
-
And try to keep to your room.
-
You’re a stranger here
-
and you wouldn’t want something untoward to happen to you.
-
Don’t try to move
-
otherwise, I’ll kill you!
-
Who are you?
-
You’re asking me who I am???
-
You’re asking me???
-
You tell me who you are and what you’re doing here!
-
I’m a special guest of Guru’s
-
and Mr. Behroze sent me here.
-
It’s a good thing you told me otherwise you would have gotten an unnecessary beating from me.
-
You would have lost your life for nothing.
-
And why were you wandering about out here?
-
You…
-
Parizaad.
-
Bubbly, what are you doing here?
-
I’m no longer Bubbly,
-
I’m now Dilawer…
-
Guru’s son.
-
Guru’s son…
-
Dilawer?
-
What kind of story is this?
-
Forget that
-
it’s a long story.
-
You tell me... what you’re doing here?
-
Although Guru did say that some loyal man of his old boss was coming over.
-
That the guy had done some kind of dangerous crime…
-
and he now needs shelter for a few days.
-
There was a lot of hype about you before your arrival.
-
Like yours, my story’s pretty long as well.
-
Destiny has really put me to the test…
-
by putting me in different situations all over the place…sometimes here, sometimes there.
-
Alright forget it for now.
-
We have all night to pick the scabs.
-
Think of this as your hang out now.
-
Everyone out here is scared to death of Guru.
-
And besides
-
you’re Dilawer’s guest now.
-
Yes?
-
So, tell me, have these good for nothing’s given you a meal or not?
-
I just woke up.
-
Alright come on then,
-
let me feed you something nice.
-
It wasn’t right what you did…
-
running away from home.
-
Aunty and uncle Shabbir have been disgraced for life.
-
They left the locality.
-
I know.
-
But you tell me, what else was I to do.
-
They were hell bent upon getting me married.
-
I didn’t want to ruin anyone’s life along with mine.
-
It’s why I had to run away.
-
But you could have explained all this to your parents even while staying there.
-
I tried really hard to do so
-
but they were determined to make me marry you -
-
Don’t worry.
-
My mother’s a very intelligent…
-
and patient woman… she will handle my father.
-
And
-
My problem is very different from the rest of this world.
-
What else was I to do?
-
The man inside of me…
-
can’t bear the thought of another man handling me.
-
You already know that very well.
-
What happened that night?
-
Hurry up and leave!
-
If someone sees us there will be unnecessary talk.
-
Don’t get all stressed brother Bubbly.
-
You can only complain if I don’t get you there at the speed of 120
-
Forty two brother Bubbly… forty two… forty two… forty two?
-
Which one is this… no.
-
Here it is brother Bubbly!
-
Take your ticket.
-
Hand me my bag.
-
Here it is brother Bubbly!
-
You be careful now okay.
-
Alright then…
-
Time to say goodbye.
-
You take care of yourself now brother Bubbly.
-
Make sure you continue to take a round of my neighborhood.
-
And take care of dad will you.
-
You need to take care of yourself as well, brother Bubbly.
-
Be careful okay, brother Bubbly!
-
Don’t tell anyone!
-
Brother Bubbly! don’t stress out about that now.
-
You take care now.
-
Mr. Khan? Can I get a match or a lighter?
-
Excuse me ‘Mr. Khan.’
-
My friend’s asking for a match.
-
He wants to light a fire.
-
Get out of here
-
otherwise, I’ll cut you into pieces!
-
Oh hey look at that,
-
she looks like a real huntress!
-
Tarzan’s daughter nee a beautiful thief!
-
Stop showing your teeth!
-
I don’t keep this just for show!
-
I also know how to use it.
-
Oh bless you
-
but seeing you like this I’ve fallen in love with you.
-
Okay so look keep the dagger away now.
-
This isn’t something a delicate girl like you should be playing with.
-
You’ll cut your hand.
-
I don’t think you’re going to understand anything like this!
-
Shall I show you who I am?!
-
So, tell me,
-
What do you want to do?!
-
What do you want to do!
-
Hey! Ugh!
-
Catch her!
-
I’ll show her!
-
Hey! Ya!
-
Woa!!!
-
Eyaa!
-
Ah!!!
-
Ah!
-
Eyaa!
-
Ehh!
-
Agh!
-
Come one after the other and fight: if you think you are man enough!
-
Hold her!
-
I’ll show her who’s a man!
-
Let her go.
-
I said let her go!!!
-
Oh hey,
-
What’s happening here today?
-
Is this a train or some circus box?
-
There are all kinds of strange things out here today!
-
Come here.
-
Let me extinguish that fire inside of you.
-
Come here!
-
Let go off her hand!
-
Let go off her hand!
-
Ahh…
-
Agh!!!
-
Yaahhh!
-
Uff!!!
-
Yah!
-
Ahhh!!!
-
Yah!!!
-
...Uh!!!
-
Ahh!
-
Yah!!!
-
Yah!!!
-
Have you run away from home, girl?
-
I’m not a her,
-
I’m a him.
-
What’s your name?
-
Its Bubbly.
-
...Bubbly the rascal.
-
‘Bubbly…
-
The Rascal.’
-
They’re two different things.
-
One needs serious guts.
-
Just keeping a name doesn’t make you into a rascal.
-
If you have any doubts
-
maybe you should try testing me as well.
-
I will definitely test it out if there an opportunity to do so.
-
But first tell me where you’re going.
-
This city is a jungle of people and it’s surrounded by shady people on all four sides.
-
You won’t find a man like Guru to save you every time.
-
I have to go to my friend’s house.
-
I have her address as well.
-
Lets go.
-
I’ll drop you off.
-
Oh hey, here’s my mentor!!!
-
My Guru!
-
How many times have I told you to not kneel at my feet but to hug me here!
-
Your place is here!
-
Oh Guru…
-
the tonga driver only wants what’s best for you!
-
Are we going in this?
-
Yes, this is my tum tum .
-
I don’t like these boxes made out of metal…
-
the ones that go about in the shape of rickshaws and taxis.
-
I have this tum tum.
-
...And this is Khairu Sir.
-
He’s my tum tum’s driver.
-
Uh… Guru sir, who’s this?
-
Think of her as one of our own.
-
He’s real gutsy.
-
His name is…
-
Dilawer.
-
Ha! Ha!
-
My Guru’s Dilawer…The one with the heart.
-
Come on then Khairu Sir…
-
let’s go.
-
Come give me your luggage.
-
Were you given the name ‘Dilawer’ by Guru?
-
He said I really showed guts when facing those hooligans.
-
He called it my bravery… which is why I’m called Dilawer.
-
But weren’t you supposed to go to your friend’s house that day?
-
I left the station for her house.
-
What happened then?
-
Stop here Khairu.
-
Come on then Dilawer… nee ‘Bubbly, the rascal.’
-
We’ve arrived at your destination.
-
That’s your friend’s house.
-
Khairu Sir…
-
But there’s a lock on the gate Guru.
-
Oh, hey no way…
-
Didn’t you inform her before turning up?
-
All I had…
-
was this address written down in some old book.
-
I thought…
-
that I would meet her here.
-
Don’t you have a number for her?
-
…No.
-
Uh…
-
Excuse me brother?
-
Where are the people who live in this house?
-
I’ve brought their guest.
-
They left this house some three to four months ago.
-
But someone must live in the house?
-
I can’t say anything about that.
-
I don’t know.
-
Come on.
-
Come sit.
-
Come on!
-
Let’s go Khairu Sir...
-
So, what have you thought of for the future?
-
I just don’t get what I should do.
-
Take my advice …
-
Go back home.
-
I’ll go with you.
-
I’ll plead with your parents and make them come around.
-
I didn’t leave my home to go back to it.
-
I burnt all my boats before heading out.
-
Look…
-
This world is a very cruel place.
-
It will eat you up.
-
You saw what happened in the train last night.
-
You can do anything
-
but it will always view you as a weak woman.
-
Its why I ran away from home.
-
I don’t want to live as a woman.
-
It’s very difficult, my dear.
-
I am myself incomplete.
-
It’s the reason I understand your anxiety.
-
And besides..only jungle predators live here, not humans.
-
They won’t allow you to live the life you want.
-
Then why don’t you tell me…
-
what I should do?
-
Since you have decided not to return home, then…
-
come with me…
-
to my den.
-
There’s plenty of room for you out there.
-
There are many out there like me.
-
People who will accept you in their midst.
-
Your name will be Dilawer from today.
-
...And you will live with Guru like his son.
-
So, tell me,
-
what do you say?
-
Will they accept me with my new identity?
-
What I mean is…
-
it won’t create a problem for you, will it?
-
Problem?
-
All those who could create a problem for Guru are dead.
-
Come back with me.
-
I will turn you into a real Dilawer
-
...Knives, pistols… being a rascal, I’ll teach you everything.
-
No one will dare to lift even an eye to you.
-
And it will be because the person will be afraid to lose their eye-sight.
-
This world is a man’s world.
-
And in order to survive in this man’s world,
-
People like us need to show ourselves more manly than them.
-
Do you understand?
-
Guru is all man amongst men.
-
In front of him, all other men seem like a third kind of gene pool to me.
-
So, is your training now complete?
-
How long did it take you to learn the art of knives and fighting?
-
A little over two years.
-
...But Guru’s taught me everything.
-
We get our income from these small dens located here and there
-
It’s just
-
that this is a different kind of world…
-
a kind of new underworld…
-
and Guru is its King.
-
So…
-
Do you ever miss Aunty and uncle Shabbir?
-
I do…
-
of course, I do. I do miss them a lot.
-
But what do I do?
-
I’ve always hurt them and made them suffer.
-
They should take on all the suffering once and for all…
-
the pain of parting from me… all the suffering.
-
So, after that, there is no more suffering left.
-
So, should I call you Dilawer instead of Bubbly?
-
Bubbly died the day she set foot out of the house.
-
Anyways ….
-
so, tell me about you?
-
You used to be a very studious, decent, innocent and down to earth kind of boy.
-
Then how did you get involved in Mr. Behroze’s shenanigans?
-
And then you made so much progress
-
that the tycoon himself personally, sent a message about you to Guru.
-
What in the world did you do, tell me?
-
I didn’t complete my studies.
-
Someone once told me
-
that a man’s true worth was judged by his position and status in society …
-
and his wealth.
-
And so, in order to hide what I lacked in personality,
-
I started to think of ways to earn money.
-
After that my destiny led me here.
-
Did you sleep well last night?
-
No.
-
It’s kind of difficult to sleep at a new place.
-
I’d heard that one can sleep even in a noose.
-
I would have slept had it been a noose…
-
maybe.
-
You sound quite cynical.
-
There must be some reason why the boss sent you here.
-
Otherwise, Mr. Behroze doesn’t send just anyone to be sheltered by Guru.
-
Seems like he really trusts you.
-
By the way why did you stop working for Mr., Behroze?
-
What to say…
-
My partner was killed.
-
We started our business together.
-
And we worked together for Mr. Behroze.
-
He was destined to be killed…
-
He was my best friend.
-
He died in these very same arms of mine.
-
My heart is sad.
-
I’ve left everything.
-
But I’ve heard
-
that people enter this field of their own free will…
-
...but the return is never up to us.
-
In fact…
-
there’s no way to go back.
-
That’s true.
-
Mr. Behroze is a great man.
-
A king amongst kings.
-
When I asked him for his permission to leave…
-
he gave me so much so as to feed my next seven generations!
-
Even then you’re running this den
-
why?
-
This world is a very cruel place, Parizaad.
-
It doesn’t leave even the dead alone!
-
v
-
When I was born…
-
the first word my ears got to hear was ‘Transgender.’
-
After that
-
my parents threw me in front of a Guru like myself and left.
-
When I became an adult…
-
a woman rejected me.
-
And whenever a man looked at me…
-
it was with evil intentions.
-
I would live each day and die each day.
-
And I would keep on asking my Lord the same one question over and over again.
-
If You had to make me into an incomplete man
-
then why give me the feelings of complete man.
-
HE should have left me incomplete in that as well.
-
I picked up arms in my anger and my need for revenge.
-
You know this cruel world so well...
-
and yet even then you turned Bubbly into a Dilawer and put her in this mess.
-
Why did you do it?
-
She’s so very innocent.
