-We should send Zulfiqar for help.

-It's too late for that now.

-They've surrounded the house.

-We'll stay inside. Barricade the door.

-No one will get in.

-No, we fight.

Are you going to sit and wait

for them to break the door down?

It's not that bad yet.

We all go back to our positions

and use our bullets wisely.

As long as they don't get near the house,

we'll be fine.

-We must keep them away from the house.

-Mama, you've hurt your leg, stay here.

People will have heard

the shooting by now.

Someone will definitely

come and help us.

Just a little while longer.

We can do this.

Can't we, Munir?

Hey, you!

-Greetings.

-Greetings.

-Dhal?

-Yes.

-Spice?

-Only a little.

Are you all right?

Yes.

I'm going to the market in the morning.

I'll get you some okra

and send the girls with it tomorrow.

I sold one of the cows to pay the lawyer.

Now he says he needs more

to bribe the judge.

You know the officer at the gate.

He said he could do the job

for less money.

Instead of another inmate,

he would move you ahead.

No one would notice.

I think we should do this.

We will sell off some land

to raise the money.

No, no.

That is never an option.

The land is worth

a lot more than money.

Don't even think about it again.

Don't worry, I'll be out soon.

-Come here!

-What is it?

What happened?

Keep it there.

-Why are you getting upset?

-Do your work. Don't make me hit you.

Don't mess with lightning,

or it'll strike you.

Strike me?

Go and charge your battery.

-To hell with your battery.

-You're good for nothing.

I'm sitting with the elders now.

Uncle...

You need help?

I can help on the outside.

My gang can bribe the police for you.

Kill, kidnap or protect people for you.

The price of life varies.

Baba, I know you're not a rich man.

If you were rich,

you wouldn't be in prison, eh?

What's your father's name?

Choudhry Amjid Ibrahim. He died

of liver cancer a few years ago.

But I knew your father,

Choudhry Allah Ditta.

He taught my father

how to read and write.

That's why I'm going to help you.

Otherwise it makes no difference to me.

If you've no money, don't worry.

You can give us something else.

If you've nothing else, don't worry.

You can give us your car.

Looks like...

your father forgot...

to teach you a few things.

Baba, it's God's will. What can I do?

I'm now the eldest in the family

and have to provide for them somehow.

What can you do?

Have you heard the story

about the spider and the cave?

Baba, we haven't time for stories.

Tell me what you want to do.

Listen...

Once, the Prophet,

peace be upon him...

-And they...

-What did you just say? I'll strike you!

No! Calm down!

Let go of him!

Have they flown away?

They'll be back.

Someone once asked,

"How long is life in Heaven?"

The Prophet,

peace be upon him, said,

"If a bird picked up a grain of sand...

and then flew

and placed it in the ocean..."

"And then, a thousand years later,

another bird placed a grain in the ocean,

then eventually

the ocean would be filled.

But life in heaven is longer than that."

It is longer than that.

Can you imagine that?

Papa, nobody is dying.

What?

You know

Zulfiqar, he's a hard working boy.

What do you think?

I've got work to do.

Hey! Listen to me.

People in the house, where are you?

Listen to me!

No one will hurt you.

These men are with me.

Don't worry.

Are you listening?

If you come out, you will not be hurt!

Are you listening?

What has happened is in the past.

Nothing will happen now!

Are you listening?

Come out quietly!

These are all our men here!

No one has died yet.

Nothing will happen!

All the women and children

should come out.

Get up!

Pick him up!

Go and get the guy!

Pick him up!

-Where's the key for this?

-I don't know.

-Put this there as well.

-I will.

-Make sure the other things are done.

-It's done.

It's done.

-There's nothing there.

-Nothing?

It either went straight through

or it was just a ricochet.

Is it hurting a lot?

No, no.

I think it's just a ricochet.

Put this on there.

Listen...

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Nazo!

Is your brother home?

No, not yet.

If you go in my room again,

I won't let you off so easily.

Come on.

Sir, I wasn't there.

I don't know what happened.

-Come on.

-Sir, we need some water.

Shut up.

Move your dirty hands.

I only had this washed yesterday.

Shut up!

Don't know where they come from!

Get back!

Do you need special instructions?

Get back!

I committed one crime out of anger.

Fair enough, that was my mistake.

But these officers commit

crime after crime.

It's not right,

they are the real criminals.

I warned you not to drink the water.

Is everything okay?

It's nothing.

The girl's lucky, she survived.

We should send men

around the back and front,

then we can take the house.

Where is Umar?

If we all fire at once,

they'll get scared,

and we can take the house--

Shut up! Has your mother paid

for all these bullets?

Drive the bodies back.

Then bring the others.

Where are you going?

To finish the job you paid me to do.

What happened?

Is everything okay?

Yes, Mama. We've barricaded

the front door. They won't get in.

Zulfiqar? Where's Zulfiqar?

Is he okay?

Look outside, they aren't doing anything.

They're just sitting there.

What are they waiting for?

Saeda, only fire if you have to.

We're running low on bullets.

-Let me go and look for some.

-Listen...

I will not leave this house,

no matter what happens.

It's fine, Mama. No one's getting in.

We can hold them off.

Wait.

I'm saying, I won't leave this house

at any cost.

Never.

Remember...

nothing in this world is more important

than your honor.

Not even your life.

I'll do something. It will be okay.

Forget it.

Nobody can win this fight now.

Mama, why are you saying that?

No matter what happens,

we three will always stay together.

Is that what you want?

Yes.

Remember, I've told you,

whatever happens, I will not leave

this house while I'm alive.

Here.

Keep them safe.

When we need them,

then use them.

Mama?

Mama!

Hurry up, they're leaving.

-Saeda, hurry up.

-I am.

-Papa...

-Praise the Lord.

You both look beautiful.

Nazo, Saeda...

We're not the richest family.

When I asked God for wealth...

he gave me brain and brawn to work.

Then I asked him for wisdom...

so he stood me in front of problems

so I could solve them.

Then I asked him for strength...

and he made me experience difficulties,

so I would become strong.

I received nothing I wanted.

But I received everything I needed.

So...

Now what you need is...

And...

Here you go.

Papa, they're really nice.

Papa, you shouldn't have.

The reason I bought these

is because I want my outlaws

to always look pretty.

Come on, hurry up, or we'll be late.

Be ready before the party leaves.

-We're coming.

-Come on, come on.

Ahmad, you're here.

Take a family photo before we go.

-Okay.

-No, Papa, leave it.
