My Name Is Khan Page #8

...this story shows that the

path of Allah is that of love...

...not of hatred and war."

You are lying.

Dr. Faisal Rehman is a liar.

- You are lying.

Look. The meaning of

the story is clear.

Dr. Faisal Rehman is a liar.

- Our brother here speaks the truth.

Allah's path is that of compassion.

That's why his loved ones are called

'blessed by the compassionate! '

Dr. Faisal Rehman is a liar.

Ask him who was that stranger?

I'm not lying!

You are lying!

Our times demand...

- Ask him...

The stranger who tried to

veer lbrahim from his path...

...was he an infidel?

How does it matter who he was?

But Doctor, who was he?

Listen I can explain everything.

Brother, tell us who he was.

Satan! Satan! Satan!

The world is strange, Mandira.

The more I try to understand it...

...the lesser I understand.

I miss you.

Hello.

- Hello.

Bhai... You? Where are you?

FBI. Do you have

a number for the FBI?

FBI? Why?

Please.

It's our college,

and they are pushing us around.

I wonder why they are so excited.

That too for this President.

Lousy pods of garlic!

I love it.

There are no better cusswords

than Indian ones. - Really.

Boys and girls.

Come on. This is the man

you waited for hours to see.

Let's give him a

warm round of applause.

I present to you, the man,

the legend.

The president of the

United States of America.

Alright, yes.

Alright, come on everybody.

Let's give this guy a nice

warm round of applause...

...for his esteemed support.

And there he is.

Alright everybody, alright.

Everybody, make some noise.

President.

Mr. President.

Mr. President.

Mr. President.

My name Khan,

and I'm not a terrorist.

Mr. President.

My name Khan,

and I'm not a terrorist.

Did he just say terrorist?

I'm not a terrorist.

- Terrorist!

He says he's a terrorist.

- I'm not a terrorist.

Move.

Don't move.

I got him.

Don't move, man. Don't move.

Keep your hands

where I can see them.

My name is Khan, and

I'm not a terrorist.

I don't understand.

He is strange.

First, he was standing silently.

Then all of a sudden,

he was screaming.

And what was he screaming...

I'm not a terrorist.

I'm not a terrorist. Strange.

There's something more to his story.

Yes. But why are

we after this story?

Listen, Raj. This

can't be our project.

I don't want to get into

this Khan story. I'm scared.

Scared because he is a Khan?

If he was a Khanna,

you wouldn't be, right?

What do you mean?

You know what I'm saying, Komal.

Listen, this is

going to be my project.

Are you with me?

He's been following the

President for some weeks now.

And we... frankly can't know

whether he's a 'Jihadi' or not.

I have made a mistake again,

Mandira.

And now, the

President is angry with me.

He has even told

the judge about it.

That's why the judge has

asked me to be shut away.

He has also ordered that

I should meet a psychiatrist.

He says he will meet me after that.

I will tell him then

that I'm not an enemy.

I'm not evil.

I am unable to say

anything now, Mandira.

I'm very scared.

His name is Rizvan Khan.

- Rizvan Khan. - Yes.

They are not saying

anything beyond that right now.

I knew the police wasn't

going to tell us anything... Now?

Now what? There are

other ways of finding out.

Come on, let's go.

Guys, you know this is illegal.

Yes. And you never do

anything illegal, right?

Here. Complete

information on Rizvan Khan.

House, work address,

social security number.

Credit records, salary statement.

In short, his entire life!

Wow, dude, Inder you're a rockstar.

- Yes, thanks.

Bye.

- Okay, okay, okay.

Stay out of jail.

Yeah, I'll call you back. Bye.

Yeah, I'm telling you, it's a

great piece for your paper, okay.

This man, Rizvan Khan,

is a simple guy.

He sells beauty

products for a living.

Listen.

He's no enemy combatant.

That's what you think.

I just interviewed an extremist

in a Kabul prison last year.

He was just a tailor.

There's no story here, bud.

This place is strange, Mandira.

There are no windows to any room

and the bathrooms don't have a door.

And the toilet has a lock.

My eyes burn and I feel sleepy too.

At times, it's very hot here.

At other times, it is very cold.

I told them I would

repair their air conditioner...

...but they won't let me.

They don't even tell me

the time so that I can pray.

That's why every time

I feel scared...

I bow and pray.

Oh, sorry guys, sorry.

Give me two minutes, okay.

Look, I've looked over the details.

I'm not really interested, but...

...why don't you try

Bobby Ahuja, at PBC.

He might able to

help you. Okay. Alright.

But why? Why do you want

to meet the President?

Why do you know so

much about the President?

Why were you reading

up on the President?

Do you know these people?

Azhar Mahmood, Omar Khan...

I think they are angry...

...because I'm not able to answer

their questions about the Al Qaeda.

But I don't know

anything about them.

Mandira, I should have

read up on Al Qaeda before.

Why? Why were you at

the Rally? Okay, what?

It's time for his session with me.

As ordered by the judge.

Do you really buy this, "My wife

told me to meet the President"sh*t?"

Would it matter if I said yes?

Hello.

- Hi.

Raj.

- Raj, Bobby Ahuja. Please sit.

I didn't have your number or I would

have called to tell you that...

...I can't cover the

Rizvan Khan story.

I have a busy schedule.

I have no time for

another two months.

You know otherwise, you know

I would've done something.

But... you know what I mean?

If you don't mind me asking, sir.

Was this photograph

taken before 9/11?

Yes. Why?

What's so funny?

No, it's not funny at all actually.

They confused a Sikh for a Muslim

and you changed your entire life.

And here, they are not even

treating a Muslim like a human...

...and you aren't able

to change your schedule?

Thank you for your time, sir.

You have one new message.

Hi Raj, this is

Bobby Ahuja from PBC.

Don't forget to

watch the news tomorrow.

My name is Khan, and

I'm not a terrorist.

Mr. President.

Rizvan Khan of Banville

California was arrested...

...on June 15th at the

CLA Presidential Rally.

He has been accused

of being a terrorist...

...and has been jailed

for the last 15 days.

Without any evidence.

And without legal representation.

And today, we have with us Mr.

And Mrs. Zakir Khan.

Family of Rizvan Khan.

Imran, the Khan from the bus is

on PBC. Quick, switch on the TV!

Very angry and very upset.

I mean, how can anyone

call him a terrorist?

That too without any evidence.

Tell them how last month

Bhai called for the FBI.

Bhai had called last month.

He wanted the number for the FBI.

He wanted to report some terrorist

recruiter called, Dr. Faisal Rehman.

Yo, how's business, a**hole?

F*** you.

I mean we're told to

report suspicious characters.

Participate in... protecting

the country from extremists.

And then when we do that...

...we're just put into

the jail, like my brother.
