And lead from the soldiers?

No.

They found Abdul lying wounded on the road.

He had lost a lot of blood.

So they took him to the hospital immediately.

They didn't notice anything else.

But the Police has recovered the car which...

...which ran over Abdul.

Give it.

Whose car is it?

It belongs to the cantonment.

They found it parked further away from the accident site.

The keys were still in the ignition.

It is being dusted for fingerprints.

And that piece of metal found in his hand...

...the station chief wants me to hand it over to the Inspection Bureau.

They will be able to establish its origin.

Are you okay?

You too seem shaken up by Abdul's death.

He was very loyal.

And I know he would never do anything to harm our family.

Should I... go to the mosque tomorrow?

To offer prayers for Abdul?

I'll also buy some clothes to donate to the poor...

...from the Main Market.

That's a nice gesture.

I'll go with you.

You two come with me to the Head office...

...I'll brief you on the way. - Abba.

You and Iqbal go ahead.

I have to visit the station office.

And then go to the Inspection Bureau...

...where at 12 o'clock I...

The Governor of East Pakistan has been murdered...

by those back-stabbing Mukti Army rogues...

And you're busy chasing after your tail like a mongrel!

Stop obsessing over Abdul's death...

...and focus on the tension that is brewing in the country!

Central Command has issued the orders...

The regiments there need to be strengthened.

Forgive me, Abba... I know I am at fault.

But I cannot get over Abdul's demise.

There's definitely more than meets the eye...

And I just want to get to the bottom of it.

I will be at the Head Office soon.

I promise.

Chasing after my tail like a mongrel...

I've been up all night...

...trying to figure out what Abdul was trying to tell me.

For a minute it even seemed like...

...Abdul was trying to take your name too.

It's uncanny...

Died.

Like they say in English...

The phone is dead.

It's very urgent.

I understand, but... - Mister, I want a bunch of these flowers.

And, how much for the roses?

May I use your phone?

Don't you want to buy betel leaves? - That's what I'm here for.

Give me 10 please. - What's 10?!

They go by the dozen!

One dozen, or two. - Two dozens. Can I make the call now?

Tell me the number, I'll dial it for you.

People say one call...

...but dial one too many!

Sorry... I gave you the wrong number.

The correct one is 56839.

Please wrap two dozen betel leaves for me. Thank you.

The weather is getting rough.

Tell South to send some warm clothes.

The South is unreachable.

You'll have to bear this weather yourself.

How many clothes do you need?

Just one... for the cat.

What's the situation?

He clawed me this morning.

The wound can get septic.

Get it operated.

Understand?

Yes...

Warm clothes won't be enough for the cat.

Get rid of him.

There's no other way.

It may rain soon.

Keep an umbrella handy.

You found the file, didn't you?'

For a minute it even seemed like...

...Abdul was trying to take your name too.

It may rain soon.

Keep an umbrella handy.

As the rain pours... The umbrella you long for...

As the rain pours... The umbrella you long for...

As the rain pours...

As the rain pours... The umbrella you long for...

As the rain pours...

Would you like an umbrella, madam?

Just 20 rupees.

Hey... move on! Rain in October!

It's alright, Ismail.

He seems like someone in need.

Thank you, madam. May God bless you.

Thank you.

Ricin.

A kind of a poison.

It causes a heart attack

and doesn't get detected in the blood either.

'He was very loyal.'

'And I know he would never do anything...'

'...to harm our family.'

Sehmat...

Suraiya Aapa called.

She's planning a raffle for the Army Wives Association.

She wanted to know if we could go over.

You carry on, please...

I'm going to the market

to buy clothes to donate

in Abdul's name.

Oh yes, Iqbal did tell me.

Listen...

Don't be late.

I've getting Trotters made for Mehboob.

I pray he brings some good news from the Bureau today.

Are you alright, madam?

Let's go...

A lot of people have handled this thing.

Perhaps you have too...

Getting a fingerprint won't be easy.

But, we will still examine it.

How soon can you reach a conclusion?

Maybe a week.

Thank you.

You don't look well, Major.

Yes... I am a bit uneasy.

I'll take your leave... Goodbye.

Salma.

Yes.

Lay the table...

Sir said he'll return home early today.

Yes madam...

Brigade!

Attention!

Fire!

Brigade!

Eyes forward!

Eyes forward!

Brigade...

We salute the martyr...

Salute!

Are you going out? - Yes.

I must get to the Head Office immediately.

Even at this time of mourning?

From the three of us...

From the two of us,

One has to go.

Duty calls after all...

Lt. General Beig had sent this.

I'll feed her.

I'll go check on Abba...

Bless you, child.

Oh, Lord!

Abba...

How can we keep the country safe...

...when our own people turn against us?

I fail to understand Allah's will...

First Abdul...

Then Mehboob...

And now this...

'Sarvar...'

'Hidayat Khan's trusted friend.'

'If anything ever goes wrong...'

'...contact him immediately.'

Hello.

Sarvar Store. - Yes.

I need to buy provisions to make an offering.

It is urgent.

Can I come over in 30 minutes? - Yes.

I'll be waiting.

Madam, you could've told me...

...or one of the staff could have bought the provisions.

It's alright.

Getting out makes me feel lighter.

I'll be right back.

I also want chickpeas...

...Of 8mm size.

This way, please.

Saadiq and Imtiyaz have been arrested by the agency.

Kabir Sir is being monitored as well.

...by the agency.

Is there any way to speak to Mir Sir?

Seems unlikely...

All the lines to India are shut down.

The guerrillas have blown up a bridge in the East.

That India is supplying them with weapons...

...the Pakistani military is now convinced of it.

War is inevitable now.

Are you in any kind of danger?

Not that I know of.

God be with you.

If ever you feel you're in danger...

...keep the light on in your bathroom as a signal.

We'll get you out.

Thank you.

I want 8mm sized chickpeas.

Please leave immediately.

Your husband is in danger.

Sir...

Sir, we tried every possible way.

But it's impossible to reach any of our contacts...

Not even the First Secretary.

And Sir, we have just learned that

the switch-board line has been compromised as well.

Sehmat is left all alone.

With no support.

And we have no idea what is going on that side.

Prepare a backup team immediately...

...and get Sehmat out of there.

Yes, sir.

Has Abba gone out? - Yes.

He got a phone call and left immediately.

Allah have mercy!

Check in that corner.

Abba... are you leaving?

There's a lot going on in the country, child.

This is not the time for me to mourn.

Should I wake Iqbal up? - No.

Iqbal returned quite late last night from the Headquarters.

Let him sleep.

You can wake him up later.
