My Pure Land

---

You keep a look out from that corner.

What do you want?

Leave here.

Leave, right now!

Get out.

You need to leave.

Leave! Leave right now.

No, I won't. This place is mine.

This house is ours and

no one else has the right to be here.

Why should I go? This place is mine.

Don't step any closer.

Come on.

Safdar!

Hey! Come back!

Mama! Mama!

It was a mistake, I didn't mean to fire.

Come on!

-Quickly, take Mama upstairs.

-My foot slipped and it went off.

Saeda, go upstairs and fire from there.

No matter what,

we can't let them in the house.

Hurry up! Come on!

What are you doing?

You need to fire!

Get out.

Where's the wedding?

Why didn't you stop me?

Have you got toys in your hands or guns?

-What do you mean, Papa?

-I'm saying, are they toys or guns?

You're the one setting fireworks off

at us.

Never mind that!

Why didn't you use your guns

back on the road?

We aren't going to shoot

at our own father.

Why not?

No matter what happens,

you need to protect this land.

By any means.

This isn't just land.

This is your honor.

How many times do I have to tell you?

In this world, nothing is more important

than honor.

Not even your life.

Let me tell you a story.

He's telling stories again.

Okay.

A long time ago,

a king was in trouble.

Stop telling them stories.

They're not little girls.

Because of you, they are weak.

They're just girls dressed up as boys.

They're scared, they can't fight.

Pick up the gun.

Fire it over there.

-Why? Don't waste bullets.

-Today, we're going to waste bullets,

and they're going to learn!

Come on. Pick up the gun.

Fire.

Otherwise, I swear that after today,

you'll never be allowed near a gun again.

Fire!

Fire!

-Give me some bullets.

-They're in the boot.

You've messed this right up!

They're just firing to scare us.

They won't actually shoot anyone.

We need to get in the house.

Show him the face.

That's enough.

Place the soil in.

Stop. He will throw first.

Are they close? Scare them off.

Keep them away from the house.

We need more bullets.

Look downstairs in your brother's room.

We need to force them back.

What are you waiting for? Shall I go?

Why are you in my room again?

-I...

-Get up!

Get out.

Get out of here. Don't you listen?

How many times have I told you?

-Don't come in my room.

-Get off me, brother.

-Why do you keep coming in here?

-Leave me.

Stop, stop.

Sikander, leave her, let's go.

Come on.

Why are you crying?

You're not the one who's bleeding.

Look. Look at this.

Scared of a little bit of blood.

Shall I put it on you?

Nazo?

Nazo?

Is your brother back?

No, not yet.

If you go in my room again,

I won't let you off so easily.

Come on.

Nazo, there's a car coming.

My beloved came into the house

Furtively, with a lowered gaze

Who is it?

It's a Jeep.

My beloved came into the house

Furtively--

What's happening?

...with a lowered gaze.

He said, "Let me help you

put on your earrings"

Waderi!

Are you listening?

The past is the past.

Nobody's coming to save you.

I'm giving you one chance

to come out of the house.

No one will say anything to anyone.

Come on out.

Stay down!

-Stop it, don't waste any more bullets.

-You listen to me. Leave here!

I'm giving you one last chance to leave!

I swear, I won't let any of you

step one foot in this house.

You have no right to it. Leave!

-Has he gone with Zulfiqar?

-Yes.

He's coming.

Papa, do you want this?

Not yet.

Well, then,

what do you want to do?

When will you leave the house?

I won't leave.

You won't?

Never.

I helped build that house

with my own hands.

That house is mine.

After me, it will be my son's

and my daughters'.

And after them, it's their children's.

So, you're responsible

for what happens now.

What do you plan to do now?

We'll do something.

Mehrban could do anything.

You need to ask someone for help.

Don't worry. Nothing will happen.

-Take him in there.

-Sir, I didn't do anything.

-Get him in there!

-Sir, I haven't done anything.

-I swear on the Almighty. It wasn't me.

-Sir, I wasn't even there.

I swear I wasn't there,

I came later.

Sir, I swear! I haven't done it!

Well, then,

any ideas where your son is?

I don't know.

We are both innocent.

We didn't do anything.

An innocent man doesn't run away.

Does he?

-By running away, he--

-This is wrong.

My brother is plotting against me.

Really? Okay.

My friend... tell me this.

That house... whose is it?

Mine.

It's my house. I have the papers.

Really? I heard Mehrban lives there.

No, no, that's my house.

It's my children's house.

I am the rightful owner.

Well, I heard something else.

Listen to me.

That house is mine!

Baba, don't bother with him.

That man's the devil.

Tea boy, give sir some tea.

I've got tea.

-Greetings, Father.

-Greetings, Father.

Greetings.

Papa, we've brought you some food.

What's happening at home?

Nothing.

Where is your mother?

Is she at home?

Yes, Papa.

We fed the cattle this morning.

Hey, why are you here?

What do you want?

Listen, you need to be careful now.

-Has your uncle been around?

-No.

Papa, are you in pain?

Don't worry about me.

Do you remember

everything I taught you?

Are you listening?

Now you need Mukhtiar and Munir.

Okay, but we're speaking to a lawyer.

We'll get you home soon.

He said Uncle has no evidence.

Don't waste money.

It won't help.

Okay, go back.

And

Have you heard anything from him?

He phoned. He's okay.

Okay. Go now.

Papa...

You are all right, aren't you?

Have faith in God.

Everything will work out.

Go.

"All will be lost and forgotten.

All will become a memory.

No one would know how far I had come.

My footsteps would disappear

upon the soil,

which would only choose

to remember me as a traveler--"

Read the other one.

The English one. Here.

-Why?

-Just read it, will you?

What are you doing?

Nothing. I'm learning.

You should work on your Urdu

before trying to learn English.

No, English is more important.

I'll need it when I travel.

What?

Travel? No one in the next village

speaks English. You'll be fine.

You'll learn English, travel to England,

and have tea with the Queen?

You'll have a great time.

Why don't you take me as well?

I'm joking, sorry.

What, Saeda?

Don't you ever think

about what's beyond this village?

There's just another village.

-Do you speak English?

-Be quiet.

I need more wire.

Thank you.

It's nearly finished.

Okay.

Make sure you stay inside.

Not even a child should come outside.

Okay? Remember that.

-Well, what happened?

-There was a problem.

Okay, do this.

Ride to the last two houses.

Make sure they understand

that they must not interfere.

-Okay.

-Okay, then come and meet us.

Let's get to the house. Quickly.

They're only women.

They'll scream a lot but won't fight.

We'll stay out front.

You walk around

and try to get in through the back.

What will they do,

hit me with their slippers?

No need for all the tension.

Where will you go? Who will you ask?
