I have soccer practise.

Do you have to play soccer?

Do you have to cut hair?

Very clever.

The apple of my eye!

Love me till I die!

Sam. Sam.

Why is Sam walking so strangely?

Why are you laughing so strangely?

You're too cute.

- No, no.

You're too cute.

- No, no, please, please.

Please, don't hug me.

- Khan, please.

No, no.

- Khan, please.

No, no, please. Please, don't hug me.

November 27, 2007. 8:23 am.

I still remember the day... That's

the last time I heard you laugh.

Reese. Reese.

Reese, you haven't

spoken in eight days now.

What's up?

- Just leave me alone.

What's with you? You

know I loved your dad.

Just... don't talk about my dad.

Come on, Reese, we're best friends.

Our moms are best friends.

You know what you people

are nobody's best friends.

All you people care is about

your damn 'Jihad' or whatever.

What are you talking about man?

Reese, just listen to me.

- Just go away.

No, Reese, you listen...

- Shut up, and go! - Listen.

Sameer, I said go away.

- Listen to me man.

Just go away.

Look at those two little brats.

Hey, ladies, come on

time out. Come on.

Didn't you hear him?

He said "Leave him alone".

So why don't you go

home to your mummy.

Stay out of it.

- What?

I said, stay out of it.

- What did you say?

You heard me, stay out of it.

Jim, let him go.

- What's the matter?

Don't you care about your dead dad?

- Yeah, but...

Is Osama your lover?

- Let him go.

So... dead.

Stop it guys, you're hurting him.

Oh, he liked that one.

What did he just do.

Let's get him guys.

Hey, Osama's son.

Bloody Paki.

Get away.

Get away.

Screw you a**holes

- What did you say?

Screw you.

Sameer. Come on buddy, get up.

Sameer.

Sameer, come on.

Sameer. Sameer.

Oh, sh*t.

- Come on.

This didn't happen, okay.

This didn't happen

this didn't happen.

Or else...

Do you hear me?

Mrs. Khan. I'm detective Garcia.

I need to ask you some

questions about this?

Later.

- Let's get him into the ER.

Is the trauma team ready?

- Yes, they are...

Lip discoloration...

discolouration of the face.

How is his pulse?

- Rapid pulse.

Possible internal bleeding.

Possible spleen rupture.

What's going on?

- We got to do this fast, you guys.

He's losing blood. I think

we got to give him blood.

We got to do this fast.

Spleen rupture.

Spleen rupture. Spleen rupture.

Spleen rupture.

Go, go, go.

Ma'am, you need to stay out.

Okay, what've we got here,

what've we got?

No signs of internal bleeding.

Give me vitals.

Heart is throbbing extremely low.

- Okay.

Okay, defib now.

- He's technicardiac.

Give me the defib.

- Ready for defib.

Okay, we're going to shock in 200.

Ready now.

Clear.

One, two, three... clear.

- Still no pulse.

Okay go to 300.

Clear.

Still no pulse, doctor.

We lost him.

Time of death, 8:05 pm.

Sam.

Ruptured spleen... spleen.

It's the only part of

the human body...

...the use of which is

not known to doctors.

When the capsule

containing the spleen is ruptured...

...a splenectomy is performed,

and the spleen is removed.

But that can lead to

pneumococcal infection.

He's dead.

He's dead.

The splenic... artery is clamped.

Time of death, 8:05 pm.

Time of death, 8:05 pm.

Time of death, 8:05 pm.

Sam.

Come back to me.

Come back to me, baby.

Come back to me, baby.

Don't leave me.

Don't leave me, please.

Come back to me please.

Please come back. Please.

Come back to me, Sam.

Sam, come back.

Don't leave me.

I apologise for the late hour.

But 48 hours is our best window

to catch the attackers. - Yeah.

Now, I've gone through the

medical examiner's reports.

The attack on your son

seems very personal Mrs. Khan.

It happened at the

community soccer field.

Inspector Garcia told us

that our Sam's death...

...may have been a racial attack.

His wounds were proof of that.

He was a Muslim, so he was killed.

But I couldn't understand.

Being a Muslim is not

a bad thing, Mandira.

Sam.

My baby.

Mandira...

We killed him.

Mandira...

We killed him.

We killed him.

Mandira...

Let's go home.

We killed him.

It's time for dinner.

Doctors say that post-traumatic

disorder causes people...

...to ignore their health.

Both of us killed him. - You need

to take care of your health.

Just shut up, just shut up.

Are you listening to

what I am saying?

We killed him!

It's all my fault.

It's all my fault.

If I hadn't married you...

...all this wouldn't have happened.

I thought you loved me so much.

Loved Sam so much.

What difference would it make...

...if his name is changed?

What difference would it make...

...if a 'Khan' was

added to his name?

But I was wrong.

It makes a difference.

It does make a difference.

I should never have

married a Muslim man!

If Sam had been a Rathod (Hindu),

he would have been alive today.

He was a Khan, so, he died.

He died because of you.

Because of your surname!

I don't understand

what you are saying.

I don't understand what you

are saying. You are not well.

God.

I want to die.

- Oh, no, no, no, no.

I want to die.

No, no, no Mandira

please don't die.

No, no, please don't die.

You can't die.

Please don't die.

Just leave me alone, please.

Leave me please.

I don't even want to see you.

Whenever I see you...

...I remember Sam's wounds.

I can't do this.

I can't do this anymore.

I'm leaving you, Khan.

I'm leaving you!

Why should you leave?

The house is yours. I will leave.

Go right now! This instant!

Go right now.

Go! Go!

Mandira...

When should I come back?

When should you be back?

When should you be back?

You know Banville?

It has a population of 30,000.

And each one of those

30,000 people hates you.

Tell all of them that

you are not a terrorist.

Why only them?

Tell every person in America.

Can you do that? Can you?

No, you can't.

Why don't you tell the

President of United States then?

Mr. President, my name is

Khan and I'm not a terrorist.

So, he can tell all these people...

...that my Sam was not the terrorist

son of a terrorist father.

He was just a baby.

My baby.

When you do that...

...come back.

Come back then!

Mr. President, my name is

Khan and I'm not a terrorist.

Mr. President, my name is

Khan and I'm not a terrorist.

Mr. President, my name is

Khan and I'm not a terrorist.

My name is Khan and

I'm not a terrorist.

My name is Khan and

I'm not a terrorist.

Not a terrorist.

Mandira, I felt a stab

of pain in my chest...

...when I left you.

I thought it was chest congestion.

But no amount of ginger juice

could make the pain go away.

It's still there.

Bhabhi, whatever you

said then was said in anger.

It was Sam's grief

that made you say it.

We all know you love him a lot.

Then why don't you... - There is no

space for love in my life right now.

Love will weaken me.

Hate will help me fight this battle.

And I have to fight for Sam.

I can't be Khan's wife right now.

I'm just a mother

whose son has been killed.

I've had a long day, and
