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 fucking 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.

Shit.

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 fucking negro!

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 fucking 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 bitch!

Said she loved me.

You're still using, aren't you?

When there's nothing to hide... - Fucking 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 fuck itself.

What the fuck 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...

Fuck!

All of these people are fucking 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 fucking garden party.

A rabbit. A peacock.

A mineral water pool in a country where people die...

because of lack of drinking water.

Who the fuck 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 fucking 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 fuck 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.

Motherfucker! - Open the fucking door!

Nobody moves! - Get back!

Stay still, or I'll blow your brains out!

Step back!

Shit!

Fuck! Fuck!

Get off me! - You little bitch!

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 torture 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 fucker!

I don't know where she is, sir!

I don't know where she is!

Sir! - Speak!

Motherfucker!

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 asshole.

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 ass 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 ass.

Sir, forgive me. I know nothing.

I didn't do anything. My ass will be on fire!

Oh, nothing will happen. Nothing at all.

Yes, it'll burn, you cocksucker! - Forgive me, sir!

I don't know anything! - Motherfucker!

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!'
