Jhok Sarkar - First Season

Hisss….!

Noorie?

Noorie?!

Noorie!

Noorie?

Noorie???

Zehniye!

Zehniye!

Noorie?

Yes sire?

Where the hell were you!

I told you all before leaving not to leave your young mistress alone!

Sire, I was -

Quickly go and call someone from outside!

There’s a snake here!

Oh my god, a snake?!

Is the young mistress -

Nothing’s happened to her, she’s fine!

Go quickly and call for two people from outside!

Yes.

Noorie?

...Noorie?

...Noorie?

Wake up Noorie.

Rehmati!

What’s all the noise outside?

Young mistress, catastrophe!

Rashida told me ….a snake was found in the younger mistress’s room!

A snake was found in her room.

But is Noorie…

what I mean is, is your young mistress alright?

Yes, she is mistress.

The elder sire Peeral arrived at the very moment and saved the young mistress.

And the men have now killed that snake as well.

What are you saying?

Is the elder sire Peeral back already?

He was supposed to return late.

What to say…

God meant to save the young mistress’s life I guess.

You can leave.

Damn you Zehniye!

Damn you.

You couldn’t even see through such a small task?

What could I do …

elder mistress…

I carried out my end of the job.

But from who knows where

from who knows where…at that very last moment!

the entire game plan failed because elder sire Peeral suddenly arrived

You fool!

You should have stayed there till the job was finished!

What’s going to happen now elder mistress?

Peeral sire will be livid with me.

He’ll want to know why I left Miss. Noorie on her own.

Shhh!

Don’t you dare!

Don’t you dare try and talk nonsense in front of Peeral sire because of your nervousness.

Tell him you had a fever the past two days.

You went to bed early.

You don’t need to utter any other nonsense than this.

Is that understood?!

Now leave!

Everything’s fine,

Don’t worry.

That snake?

Its been killed.

But didn’t you…

sleep with the door shut?

I, myself shut the door.

Fine,

Doesn’t matter.

Get some rest.

I’m right here with you.

You also saw the snake did you not Dhani Baksh?

Yes, I did see it sire.

I think it probably came in out of the garden into the ladies quarters.

...like the way it did last year.

You mean it was of the same breed.

Yes sire, it was the same color.

But it was raining quite hard.

So had the snake come in from the outside,

it should have been wet.

My dearest sire, the snake wasn’t wet.

This I remember quite well.

It is however possible that it came into the room before the rain and then hid itself therein.

The rain…

started after seven in the evening.

And a little while before then

Noorie’s maids ….

swept and mopped the room and left.

So had the snake been inside,

someone or the other would have seen it.

Sire,

I understand some of your worry and anxiety but…

Ahem.

Keep your eyes and ears open, Dhani Baksh.

Yes sire.

And pray….

that this snake incident is just a mere coincidence.

I don’t know why,

but ever since the moment I saw that snake near Noorie…

I wonder how many people near to me are snakes in disguise.

Who would dare to be an enemy to you and so wish for his own Death, sire?

Just tell me and I will crush the person!

Till there is life,

There will always be enemies.

A hundred friends,

A hundred enemies.

That’s enough now.. Uncle Ghaffoor

No more tea

You should have at least eaten a proper breakfast, sir.

And what is this,

you sit down to breakfast daily with a day old newspaper.

So what am I to do Uncle Ghafoor.

Your Jhok Sial doesn't get a daily newspaper.

It arrives by the evening bus

and since I come back tired

I end up reading the previous day’s paper in the morning with my breakfast.

God should question the landlords of this area.

Had they made even one decent road …

to the city or even till Multan,

many of Jhok Sial’s problems would have been solved.

You’re right.

In this day and age, the first step to progress is a road, Uncle Ghaffoor

and its something which was never allowed to be made here.

Had it happened then even you wouldn’t have been working here as a cook at your age of retirement.

You would have moved to one of the bigger cities.

Where could I have gone sir?

I was employed in the road making department of the B&R.

Hmm.

I was single then and I’m still a bachelor even now.

It’s because of people like you officers that I’m still able to earn a living…

...otherwise no one bothers to come to this rest house now.

Don’t worry.

I’ve asked the IG sir for funds …

so that a colony can be made here for the officers and junior policemen.

I don’t know whether I’ll be building myself an official residence or not while I’m here…

but the moment the construction starts here,

I’ll make sure I make a permanent arrangement for you.

That’s my promise.

Really sir?

You will have my blessings for life, sir.

Oh… oh… Oh Sir

I totally forgot while in conversation with you that I had to give you an envelope.

What envelope?

The school security guard came by early in the morning and left an envelope for you.

He said that the teacher sent it ..

and that it had some important papers in it for you, Sir.

Where’s the envelope?

I left it on your table.

Alright I’ll have a look.

Thank you.

‘Thank you sire’

Greeting Uncle Khanu.

Greetings.

Did you give the envelope to sir?

Yes Miss, I’ve given it.

Alright.

What did she tell you Dhani Baksh.

What can she say, sire?

Its all an act, a drama.

She’s saying, ‘I’m innocent. Have mercy on me.’

For Peeral to even consider forgiving her …

means she must first admit her mistake.

If she’s innocent then …

why does she require mercy?

Have mercy on me!

I’m innocent!

I’ve been suffering from high fever since past two days

If you don’t trust me, you can kill me if you want

Its not as yet time for that Zehniye.

You have really served this house.

You must get at least one chance to prove your innocence then should you not?

I am your slave, Sire

Dhani Baksh!

Yes sire?

Catch that Yogi snake charmer from the nomad village and bring him here.

He will be the one to clarify things now.

My dear sire, it’ll be as you wish.

He’ll be brought.

Forgive me sire!

Forgive me sire, its not my fault!

It wasn’t my fault sire.

Forgive me.

Yes

so you know the system of the Jhok Sial police station don’t you?

One must serve it sire.

Yes!

Pay for expenses and you will get the benefit of having your complaint lodged.

I’m here sire.

Yes… ‘I’m here.’

Sir!

You should have called for me and I would have presented myself!

Its okay.

Who’s this?

Is it someone with a complaint?

What’s the problem?

There’s no problem sir.

They’re just worthless people who come here unnecessarily.

Should we now go about sorting out their family problems as well or what!
