Recapping Zulm episode 9
Episode 9 of the Hum TV drama Zulm opens with Shahwaiz’s (Shehzad Sheikh) mother, who seems to be emotionally invested in Esha’s (Sahar Hashmi) case, calls her on the phone. Afterwards, she and Shahwaiz drive to Esha’s home to meet her. When they get there they find the gate and front door open, and hear distressed voices and screams.
Shahwaiz fetches his handgun from his car and runs inside to find Malik Ajlal’s (Faysal Quraishi ) armed men manhandling Esha and her mother. Their house is also in disarray. Shots are fired and Shahwaiz is struck in the arm. We find him in a hospital where the doctors declare that the wound is a superficial one.
Later, the Police show up, and sarcastically question Shahwaiz about his connection to Esha’s family. Shahwaiz tells them that he is an attorney, and will represent Omair (Raeed Muhammad Alam). Meanwhile, Javeria finds a potential back channel to meet with Omair.
Might is right
Manal receives a phone call from Izmir who berates her for kidnapping Esha. Manal loses her temper and threatens Izmir. In a later scene, when Izmir returns home, he finds Ajlal has broken in and is holding his family captive. Ajlal offers Izmir two choices: either he marries Manal or leaves Pakistan for good. Not complying would mean harm for his family. Ajlal implies that he will kidnap Izmir’s sister otherwise.
