Where have you been?

-How's it going?

-I'm good.

You really disappeared?

-All is good?

-Yeah, with the grace of God.

-And little Rubab?

-Yes, she's well.

-Work is going well?

-By God's grace, all is well.

Let's have some tea. Bring the tea!

He's grown so tall!

How are you, son?

A child's marriage has caused

a furor in Nishtar village.

Mother and child have been missing

since yesterday.

A search for them is under way.

Feroze Khan is in Nishtar.

-Feroze, what is the child's age?

-Let me go check.

Yes, Fatima.

The child was a student in class five.

We have been unable

to reach the family.

Ma...

you promise you won't be angry?

It's all wet.

Zaibu!

Let's go.

Have some food.

I've also ordered?rosh' for you.

-Sorry, I have to leave.

-But you've only just arrived!

Stay here.

Let's sit in the sun.

Something urgent came up.

Have some food at least.

It's urgent.

I'm actually thinking

of leaving this business.

You'll get double for Karachi.

I know. I know.

Get up, Zainab!

Leave it!

-Gotta go.

-What's this, man?

I told you to not get off until

I said so! What was the big hurry?

-Actually, Zainab...

-What about Zainab?

News about you has spread.

The media is in your village.

It's the same mother and daughter.

She called the girl?Zainab.'

-Where are you?

-Behraam Hotel in Sikanderabad.

There's a truck driver with them.

Sohail Malik.

Truck number 9354.

We'll be there soon.

What's this smell?

I'll clean it up.

What did the news say?

I'll tell you,

but first let's get out of here.

Have a seat.

-You are?

-Mir Azam Khan.

How long have you known Sohail?

He's my childhood friend.

When was the last time you saw him?

It's been a while. In fact,

it's been several months.

Really?

Have you seen this woman with him?

Never saw her before, I swear.

-I really hate people who lie to me.

-I swear I'm not lying.

-Come, let's have a talk.

-What are you doing?

Let's move.

Looks like the storm is coming.

There's no more time to waste.

I want the path cleared.

Tor Gul's time is up.

I can't go further than this.

My orders have changed.

I will find them. You go.

Brother,

Allah Rakhi tricked us.

She had already made a plan,

and is with some truck driver.

What are you saying, Shehbaz Khan?

I'm telling you the truth.

She is with a truck driver.

Listen, Shehbaz Khan.

I don't want anything else.

I just want my daughter back!

My daughter!

Don't you worry.

When I find them, I will kill her.

What's wrong?

C'mon, my queen!

It's stopped now. Everything okay?

I'll be back.

Hold it.

C'mon, sweetheart!

We have to go on foot now.

Open the door. Get out.

What happened?

Can I ask you something?
