Jhok Sarkar - First Season

Who’s there?!

Who’s there!!!

Whats wrong Sir?

Is everything alright?

Is there a way out from the back?

No Sir.

There’s only one gate here and I was guarding it.

Your protection is insufficient.

People who think that since there’s only one gate

and since they’re guarding it therefore their area is now secure…

they suffer great losses.

People who are looking to attack will always look to use a backdoor to get in.

I still have plenty of bullets remaining and I’ll be awake for sometime!!!

Go back to your post.

Come on!

Quick, quick, hurry up!

Good!

Well done!

Good.

Come on!

Dad, what are we going to do?

Seems like a war’s started.

What?

Zulekha came here?

Why didn’t you let me know of this last night?

What was she saying?

I’m positive she must have created a ruckus.

What is a wife to do if not create a ruckus at her husband’s unfaithfulness.

Unfaithfulness?

What kind of unfaithfulness?

I didn’t hide and commit some sin.

I married a woman I liked out in the open and in front of everyone.

You women are really strange.

You can forgive your husband’s sins…

but you cant forgive him marrying another.

If it was to do with me, you will never face any restrictions from me…

be it a sin or a marriage.

Why?

Why would you not consider this as unfaithfulness like Zulekha?

You’re also now married.

A woman forced into marriage isnt a wife.

You know this as well.

This marriage was barter arranged because of my state of helplessness.

Whatever the case, we did get married didn’t we?

If Zulekha considers this as unfaithfulness then why isnt it the same for you?

Faithfulness, infidelity…

all these are nooses created by you women to keep your men in check.

But Peeral

has no intention of being taken in by you women.

Peeral was free, is free

and will always be free.

Sir, this office is unworthy of being your office

but we have together made it habitable for you.

If you find anything lacking we can fix it.

Its fine Asghar.

A soldier must have the skills to be able to adjust under any circumstances.

...And we are all as soldiers, duty bound.

Tell me something, has the SHO in charge of Shorkot arrived?

The SHO of Shorkot Mr. Ramzan should be here any moment now Sir.

Hmm.

Fine.

Oh and yes, I want a full report on last night’s incident.

By the way

what kind of an officer is this Ramzan?

Is he a good officer or is he like our Jahan Dad…

No, no Sir.

Mr. Ramzan is a very strict and dutiful officer.

Just like the way a police officer should be.

Which is why his area is in a better condition than our Jhok Sial.

And Sir, I feel that the men who broke into the guest house last night were sent by someone.

What?

There’s a new officer in the area

and the jailer never even let us get wind of it?

This Jahan Dad is really spreading his wings.

Seems like we’ll have to clip his wings.

Yes sire.

And the villagers saw the entire platoon go for a run early this morning.

Seems as if this new officer is preparing his soldiers to fight a war.

Ha!

Yeah right… what is an ‘Officer’ and what is a ‘Platoon.’

Many such officers like him have come and gone.

Aslam?

Yes Sire?

Run to the police station

and tell Jahan Dad to come to the house immediately.

There’s something important for him to do.

Yes sire.

SHO Shorkot, Gul Mohammad Ramzan reporting in Sir!

Come in Ramzan, come in.

My Sub Inspector Asghar is all praises for you.

Whats the deal?

Asghar was initially posted with me at Shorkot Sir.

He’s loyal, conscientious and a good policeman.

You arent doing him a good turn by praising him in return are you.

No Sir, we’ve been praying that we would get a young officer like you out here

so that our platoon’s morale could improve.

Don’t worry

I’m here to raise the morale of the police force here.

Tell me something, our second station is some thirty miles away from here, right?

Yes, Sir.

I want to see a police jeep patrolling between the two stations on a twenty-four-hour basis, Ramzan.

That would have been possible Sir…

uh… but we have some problems with regards to the budget and vehicles.

We have been taking petrol on loan for our vehicles for the past few months.

Our arms are also in need of upgradation and …

there are some other problems as well.

Hmm.

Don’t worry about all this.

I’ll take care of it.

I’ve come to sort out these issues.

Have you brought your report?

Yes.

Show it to me.

Jahan Dad…

what is this I hear?

There’s a new officer in the area and he’s even taken charge of the station and you’ve …

come to tell me about it now?

When did he even give me the chance to tell you.

In fact, I am myself still awaiting my orders.

He entered like a force and swept over everything like a storm!

He’s also very rigid when it comes to duty.

I had to make an excuse to come here.

Hey!!!

We don’t know how rigid he is

but who in Jhok Sial has the daring to try to say

and do as they please with us around!

Where is that -

This isnt the time

to show agitation,

its time to use ones sense.

The government has sent him.

He hasn’t come here of his own will.

Jahan Dad?

Yes?

Invite him for a meal on our behalf.

Sire?

Once comes to the house…

Then we will see

the power of his uniform

What are you saying father sire!

You want to invite him to the house for a meal?!

Are you in your senses!

Sit down Meeral.

No father, you will not call him - !

Sit down!!!

Alright Ramzan,

I’ll go through this and come inspect your station in a couple of days.

I’ll be waiting Sir.

Do I have your permission to leave?

Yes.

You need to take me to inspect the official garage….

Isn’t that where all the old machinery and jeeps and all are kept?

Yes Sir

Sir!

The man who’s come isn’t just any ordinary policeman.

He’s an ASP… an ASP.

These men …

pass exams that are competitive.

And don’t think of him as someone who’s on his own.

Any untoward incident happens

the whole district police force will be there to back him.

We will first try to win him around with love.

And if he doesn’t listen,

then we use the path of instilling fear.

Sire…

I did get a slight check done of him last night at the guest house.

He’s not one to get scared.

Why don’t you speak to the Home Minister, father sire.

He gets votes from our entire area

so we should be getting our way.

I will have to speak to him.

But you must stay calm.

If we don’t get what we want in a straight forward manner…

then I will tell you

when to crook that finger.

and how much to crook it

Don’t you get what I’m saying girl!

I’ve told you several times that the young mistress will not meet you today!

Just leave and come back another day.

Who is it ….girl?

Who are you shooing away?

Young mistress its this -

Sassi!

You here.

My unfaithful friend!

You’ve forgotten me.

Did you not miss me even a little?

Can Noorie ever forget Sassi?

Ever since I’ve been here, I think only of you.

I long for you.

Come.

Greetings Sir.

Sir, this is our constable ….handyman Majeed.

From an iron to an aeroplane, he can repair anything.

He’s an excellent, master craftsman.

Really?

Good Job… Majeed

What all have you got dumped in your garage?

Show me.

This way Sir.
