Why should I do that? Get off!

Come on, child.

Come on!

-Make it quick.

-Okay, we're getting off.

Get off.

-A short ride wouldn't have hurt you.

-It's not your father's property!

Child, be careful.

Try not to create another problem.

-Come.

-Don't touch her!

?Don't touch her'? Go to hell!

First she thinks

she's in her father's truck,

then she tells me not to touch!

C'mon now, move it!

Stop!

Now what is it?

-You'll leave us just like that?

-You're not my aunt's daughter, are you?

I have a child. She's sick.

What will we do here?

Alright, come in.

So what's happened to the child?

She has a fever. High fever.

Where are you heading?

I am headed towards Punjab.

Where in Punjab?

Near Attock.

Attock...

How far is it from Lahore?

Around eight to ten hours' drive.

What's the matter? Why the worry?

You're hiding something?

They'll catch us.

They'll kill us.

Kill you? What are you talking about?

-Who are they?

-Tor Gul's men.

You're Tor Gul's wife?

No, I'm not his wife,

but my daughter is promised to him.

Great going, Sohail. You're screwed!

-C'mon, time to go.

-What are you doing? Keep going!

Keep moving!

It's a matter of a child's life!

Hurry! They are right behind us!

Damn it!

You'll have to get off soon.

If you stop, I swear

I will kill her first and then myself.

-Go fast!

-Are you crazy?

Give it to me!

Keep driving! Leave this!

Drive faster, they are coming!

Have you gone nuts?

We're already in such trouble!

Get out of my way!

Listen to me now, carefully.

Check every bit of this truck.

Peace be with you.

Yes, sir?

Shut up. And step back.

People who lie to me...

I take out their intestines like this.

Now tell me where

you have hidden them.

There's no one here.

I get it.

You're looking for a child and mother.

Right?

How do you know?

I found them hiding up there.

And made them get off.

Did they say where they were going?

No, we didn't talk. I'm already late.

But they could be headed to Kashli.

Alright then.

Peace be with you.

Come out.

Are they gone?

First, come out.

By the way,

do you know where you're headed?

There must be a place

where they can't find you.

It's difficult

to shake off Tor Gul.

He'll find you wherever you go.

You should have

thought before running.

Do you have a daughter?

No.

Then you can't understand.

I can take you as far as Attock.

After that, you'll have

to manage on your own.

Ma?

No.

Not here, Zaibu.

There's no place for girls here.

The truck can't stop.

We can stop.

There's a rest stop coming up.

No, please keep going.

Don't get out till I tell you.

It's better no one sees you

here. I'll be right back.

Azam, my brother!

Sohail, you bastard!
