Nadia and Faisal are going to visit Lalo Mama. Nadia sees a man in a ruined house and she thinks that he is dead but Faisal says that he is alive and was his classmate and later, he addicted to powder.

When they reach the castle, Lalo welcomes them and he asks Nadia that why she looks pale. Faisal tells him the whole story of his classmate which they saw him on the way to the castle. Nadia asks Lalo Mama about the causes of drugs addiction.

Lalo Mama takes them to inside the castle and then he opens a window for their information.

In the window, the reporter of the castle is talking with some juveniles who are addicted to drugs.

Ata Muhammad, a resident of the third district of Kandahar city says: “about four years ago, I joined drug-addicted boys and I also got addicted to drugs. When somewhere someone steals something, the police arrest us as thieves. My parents do not accept me as their son.”

Ameer Muhammad says: “I was a fourth-degree student when I started to use drugs with my friends and at the same year, I left the school. I was a very kind boy before but now none of the family members leave me at home.”

Lalo Mama closes the window. Faisal says that no one could help such boys because if someone gives them money, they might buy drugs for themselves.

Lalo Mama says that families and friends could help these juveniles and then he opens another window for their more information.

In the window, the reporter of the castle is talking with some youths. Fazal Rahman Munib, a resident of Kandahar province says: “once I went to a picnic with my friend. I saw that my friend was smoking hashish. I have a football team and I enrolled him in my team. He started football but he was getting tired soon. I told him about the hazardous of the drugs and then he quitted smoking.”

Ehsanullah says: “I was addicted to drugs. One of my friends told me about the hazardous of the drugs and I quitted the drugs and now I am a teacher in one of the schools.”

Lalo Mama closes this window too. Faisal promises that he would also help his friend to quit the drug and return to normal life.
