Jhok Sarkar - First Season

Whats this?

Did you not have your meal last night as well?

Eat something!

If you want to die at least do it on a full stomach!

Where’s the point of killing yourself on an empty stomach.

No ones going to listen to you out here.

Why have I been locked inside this place!

Take me out of here!

Otherwise I will starve myself to death.

That would be a mistake….

One should give ones life only when there is someone there who cares about what happens to you.

Why are you being an enemy of your own life?

Your own family, your father and brother, handed you to Peeral sire.

You wont find even four people to cry over your death out here!

He’s not my actual father and nor is his disgraceful son my brother!

Both are step family to me!

My own father died when I was a child.

My uncle married my mother.

My aunt died.

Oh I see.

That’s what I was thinking…

had it been your actual father, he would never have left you here like this.

Who knows how many women have whitened their hair serving the family of this house.

...But not one has been able to pay off their debts to date!

Will you do something for me?

Get me news of Shaukat from wherever you can.

The police isnt beating him are they?

He’s innocent.

He’s probably safer with the police but Meeral he wont leave him.

I think you should agree to Peeral sire’s condition.

If not for yourself, then do it to save your lover’s life.

What do you mean?

Look one thing is already certain.

Peeral sire wont let you leave without first getting the money your father owes him.

And on top of that there’s your fear of the lecherous, loafer Meeral.

I swear but he has a filthy gaze.

If you agree to Peeral sire’s condition you will reign over this house.

Shaukat will also have gotten his freedom.

His life will have been saved.

This is whats best for everyone.

But how can Peeral keep her in his house by force?

This is absolute cruelty.

Who can stop the mighty from being cruel?

And then this entire incident took place in the jailer presence.

Even if I were to plead with someone… who do I appeal to?

I’m feeling angry with uncle and this so called brother of Noorie’s!

These people also just went and handed her to those cruel people!

To hell with such a brother!

No need to bad mouth us so much Sassi!

Your own brother was going about all over the place

because he wanted to kill them and share in the reward.

We, at least, didn’t kill them.

All we did was hand them over to the big house so she could serve them.

I will put down anyone who sides with cruelty.

And it doesn’t matter if its my own brother or…

Noorie’s stepfather and or her brother.

You fool…

it would have been better had you killed your sister yourself

instead of leaving her there with those brutal people….

to be abused by them and face cruelty

Aunty, don’t worry.

I will myself go to Peeral’s house.

I’m sure there are women like us there.

I will myself fall at the feet of the elder mistress and plead for Noorie’s release.

Dont worry.

No Sassi, no.

Don’t go there.

…Otherwise Peeral sire will keep you with him as well.

I swear but you are also quite the looker!

You just wait! Wait!

I’m going to pour water over you!

It will make you come to your senses soon enough!

No… no, no , no Sassi!

No, no, no…!

You’re disgraceful!

When has one ever been able to understand these women, Dhani Baksh!

They’re always a puzzle.

You’re lucky your wife died early.

Do one thing…

Get another one.

Sire,

why do you make fun of me in front of everyone.

Who’s going to have me at this age?

I’m too old now.

Men and horses never get old!

If not like a man, then think like horse.

Sire,

not everyone’s destined to be like you.

Instead of fighting fate, come up with schemes.

If one woman starts to trouble one too much…

the way to solve that problem is a second woman.

Get another wife.

The two will fight between themselves and the man will then live in peace.

My beloved Sire…but what if the two get together and become friends

and turn against their husband, what then?

Then you need to understand that its time to get a third wife!

Papa doesn't just want to plan your career, he wants to plan your whole life with me.

...A house, car, position.

Everything will be according to your status.

Look if you want we can even have your parents live with us.

I have no objection to it.

Uh…Sir, the IG sir is asking for you.

What news have you brought me Sughra?

Young mistress, the girl has been locked up in the old quarters…

and the boy’s been sent to jail.

They should have sent the girl to jail as well.

Why have they kept her here?

I’m sure this must have been that loafer Meeral’s wish.

What do I care!

How would I know?

Do you have nothing else to do except sit here all day!

Yes sire…

Don’t you never miss Zulekha?

It seems you’ve forgotten your way to her.

I ask the servants news about you all day long.

There are a thousand and one issues to do with the house and lands Zulekha.

...And the men are the only ones who can see to them.

And you women,

what do you all do all day except to get all decked up to sit in cool rooms.

The man is the one who gets burnt in the heat of the Sun!

I was saying the same thing to that illiterate Sughra.

She was telling me about that girl… the one who’s been caught?

She’s locked up in the quarter?

Let her go!

To hell with her.

One shouldnt keep such filth in the house.

Let matters to do with men,

stay between the men…. Madam Zulekha.

And besides how does it concern you?

You rule the whole of the female quarters don’t you.

Just continue to reign over your kingdom.

My reign is only because of you sire.

Hey girl…

Who are you?

What are you doing in my room?

You…?

Sire!

Sire, come away!

Come sire.

Allow me to leave you to your room.

But who’s that girl?

I’ll tell you…

...but you should come with me to your room.

Oye girl!

Shut the door and bolt it!

Lets go sire.

Slowly… yes, slowly…

Oh…

Good…good…

This is so strange Dhani… but that room was mine.

The whole house is yours sire!

Careful… careful… watch your feet.

Where did you spend…

the night…

...my heart longs for you… where did you…

...spend the night…

Tch, tch, tch…

Love is a cruel thing.

Many people….

Get ruined by it…..

By the way,

I feel pity for your youth.

....But what is one to do

Why have you got me locked in here Mr. Jailer.

Why are you all not presenting me in court before a magistrate?

Oh hey this is the problem with your generation.

You all study a few grades and the lawyer inside of you starts tojump up and down.

Mr. Lawyer there is no magistrate here and nor is there a court.

My name is jailer Jahan Dad!

I will make you forget the law.

But we do have to register a case.

He’s been in confinement for more than 48 hours.

What if there’s a problem?

Oh ho, ho, ho…

Sub Inspector Asghar sir,

you are such a great crime expert.

Now tell me, what do we book him for?

Huh?

Did the girl’s father register a case of kidnapping?

That’s why I’m saying this.

Why have we then got him locked up here?

Besides I’ve heard that very soon a DSP level officer is going to be appointed and sent here.

Well then let me apprise you of the information that no senior officer will be coming here.

Do you know why?

Its because Peeral sire has recommended me to the top level brass!

So now I will be in charge of the top as well.

District Jhok Sial, DSP Jahan Dad.

Now please do me a favor,

find a nice, good for nothing carpenter and get my name plate made.

‘DSP Jahan Dad’

Police station, Jhok Sial.

Yes?

There are going to be promotions!

Promotions!

...Ah… Promotions.

What is she saying?

Seems she hasn’t broken as yet.

She will break soon enough sire.

I made sure to scare her good and proper.

She will admit defeat soon enough.
