01x04 - Where Do They Exist?

Post by bunniefuu »

Hey, stop! Stop!

This rock holds the
truth of Jengaburu, Basu.

Right, Peter also said the same thing.

Once we get the rock sample
tested and get the results

He will be able to blow
the lid off this conspiracy.

I don't trust anyone.

Prepare the headlines for tomorrow.

Change buses as you go.

And use that torch on the
rock while clicking the picture.

Will do.

Stop. Stop.

You are late again dad...

Sorry, Dharini.

Why do you always call me Dharini?

Because you are Dharini's daughter.

Will my daughter also be Dharini?

Yes.

And then she will take care of everyone.

So when she turns six,

will I be dead too?

Aunty.

Do you know any of Dad's friends?

Friends?

There was one,

Basu.

Did your father ever
talk about a man called Basu?

Puneet.

Hi, Dhruv.

The files on Dutta
mines are all up to date.

That's not very usual
with mining companies.

There is always some backlog.

Professor Das is dead, Puneet.

What?

I am so sorry to hear that.

You think there is a mining angle to it?

Hundred per cent.

There is something
suspicious going on in there.

I just don't have any proof... yet.

No one's allowed in the mines.

It shouldn't be this way.

One last favour, Puneet.

Can you send someone to Jengaburu?

For a physical inspection?

This may take some time.

You know what. I'll come there.

What is it?

Give me a ticket to Cuttack.

Five minutes.

What are you looking for?

Let's go.

How much?

- And this one?
- 750

Aunty.

Do you want the usual?

Give a quarter kilo of Prawns too.

Madam, what are you doing here?

Do you know of a safe place?

Come this way.

Ram.

You got suspended because of me.

I am sorry.

I always side with the truth.

Whether I lose my wife or my job.

Have you heard of the
'Kalam Shakti' Newspaper?

Yes.

I went to Cuttack this morning.

The press was burnt down.

This case was a cover-up.

What is all this you are investigating?

I am confused.

The body that the police
showed me as Dad's

was completely burnt too.

Whose body was it?

I think it was reporter Basu Tripathi.

He was my father's friend.

I've a job for you.

Do you have any connections
in Cuttack Police?

Yes. An uncle.

What is the job?

I need information on Basu
Tripathi's body and his press.

- I'll call him...
- No.

They must be tracking your calls.

Leave your phone at home.

Then meet me tomorrow
at the same time.

I'll let you know the location.

Be careful, Madam.

I can understand your pain.

I have been fooled.

Kadey

There are no animals here.

They are all dead.

Run. Run.

Where did you get these g*ns from?

Do you know you can be arrested right now?

Will you arrest me
after my men are dead?

This is a Naxal affected area, Sir.

We have to protect ourselves.

Isn't it outside the mining range?

Move.

Sir, let's not fight.

We both share a common goal.

Peace and development.

"Oh dear Bondri King,
Oh mother Dharini."

"Oh dear Bondri King,
Oh mother Dharini."

"May the sun shines bright
at the centre of sacred hoop."

"Oh dear mother..."

Why are you praising Dharini?

Everything is finished now.

This is all we have to eat!

Few grains of millet.

Brother, he is telling
me not to praise Dharini.

Let's not fight with each other.
Our supply lines are gone.

There is a strange
illness that is spreading.

The enemy is nearby, preparing to attack.

Will they come here too?

No. They won't.

As long as we stick together,
We are safe inside the forest.

We have Bondri Raja
to keep us alive.

Jengaburu is ours!
Never forget that.

Forgive me, Kadey.

It's not your fault.
I should have never trusted her.

Das died because of me.

I won't tell anyone that you cried.

Why have you called me to a warehouse?

It's a stakeout.

This is EdMac Technology.

It's the same guys who
secure the Jengaburu mines.

I had a source who worked there,

but he was paid by EdMac Technology.

So this is the front?

Beatrice, I work in Fin-tech.

They are separating data
from their site of business.

The main point is why does
a bauxite mine needs so much security?

Maybe that's what my father
was trying to find out too.

How did you know my father?

I didn't know him.

I am here because of a journalist
called Basu who was m*rder*d.

He was our source.

Basu Tripathi?

What was Basu working on?

He was about to publish a big scoop,

but he couldn't tell us what it was.

Beatrice, I need to mine their data.

But I am sure their
systems are very secure.

I know. Can you hold that up for me?

Here.

Higher.

Finally.

Mr. Kook. Mr. Hu.

Today is a very lucky day.

We call it 'Shubh Muhurat'
in India.

The payload is ready.

It took us three years.

But all are coming together now.

We like your confidence, Mr. Rao.

But what are we sending into space?

Will it go empty?

February 5th.

That will be our final delivery.

I'll handle it, Sir.

It's confirmed.
She never took the flight.

You performed today.
And that was really good.

We got a good appreciation.
I am very happy.

And I would like to say,

when we portray a character...

When we portray a character.

You have to involve yourself fully...

Come in.

What's flashing on your screen?

You hacked into the police wireless?

Not the first time.

Basu and my father were
k*lled by the same people.

You could be next.

What could be so important,

that a father would die
rather than be with his daughter?

He gave his life away.

At first, I also bought
into the Naxal theory.

It's difficult not to
believe the official truth.

There's nothing online
about Dutta Mines.

Just a bloody address in Jengaburu.

Don't underestimate Priya.

Rao Sir.

I am sorry to say,
please don't mind.

But Sir, this was all
according to your plan.

Psychological profiling and all...

Sir.

This isn't the time for the blame game.

We have a delivery date.

We cannot afford a single mistake.

Sir, I understand, but...

Sir, I will neutralise Priya.

And, Sir, two girls were spotted
near the Bhubaneshwar warehouse.

I suspect it was Priya and the foreigner.

Anything from the surveillance room?

No, Sir.

Check our servers.

And catch Dr. Panigrahi.

Only he can take Priya to the forest.

Keep an eye on Kannan
And constable Ram Kumar as well.

We have to open another front.

Focus on these bloody wild c*ck.

Sir.

Cut off their supplies.

Yes, Sir.

Mr. Mahanta.

Where is Panigrahi?

- I don't know.
- Where is Panigrahi?

I don't know anything, Sir.

What was he doing with the tribals?

Scoundrel!

Pick him up.

Get up!

Speak.

Tell me.

He would use my phone to make calls.
But I don't know anything else Sir.

Panigrahi supplies food to the tribals.

Panigrahi supplies
medicine to the tribals.

Panigrahi treats them in the forest.

And phone?

He used my phone to contact them.

Scoundrel!

Scoundrel!

Sir.

I think someone is following us.

Act normal.

Yes, Sir.

Mr. Secretary.
Please come and see me in my office.

Hello, Dr. Rath.

Hello. Hello.

These foreign medicines
won't work on tribals like us.

But you have the habits
of a modern man, Sir.

You drink foreign liquor.

Eat broiler chicken
and even frozen food.

So you would require foreign medicines.

Ramesh. Take Sir inside.

Yes Sir.

Okay.

Ram Kumar.

Come inside.

Finally remembered your uncle after
getting suspended, did you?

By the way, what had happened?

Sit.

What could have happened?

The innocent suffer
along with the wicked.

Uncle.

I wanted to ask you something.

The Kalam Shakti Press was burnt down.

We had orders!

The press was burnt in Cuttack,

and the body was found
in Bhubaneshwar! Strange.

Uncle, because of a different jurisdiction
they will suppress this case.

- There must have been some kind of inquiry.
- The tea is ready

Or a report?

The report said it was a gas leak.

I was at the scene of the crime.

Uncle.

What are the seniors saying?

No-one said anything.

There was a call over
the wireless that day.

Newspapers were snatched
from every distributor.

And nobody complained?

There was one distributor.

His life was in danger.

Do you have his address?

What good is it to you?

Who will you tell?

Don't tell me if you don't want to.

See you.

Listen, sit down.

This case must be reopened.

I've been reading Basu Tripathi's
newspaper for ages.

He was an honest reporter.

Call me tomorrow.

Okay.

Come in.

Mr. Secretary, where is Priya Das?

She went back to London.

I wouldn't have summoned
you here if she had.

Sir, I don't know where Priya is.

Then find out.

Because she is an old friend of yours.

And everybody knows that.

You can leave.

Hello.

Sir.

I told you.

This officer doesn't know anything.

She is just like her father.

If Priya contacts you,

then you inform me first.

Tobu.

- How much for the Banana leaves?
- Ten Rupees.

Give me a bundle.

Just a minute.

Uncle.

Hello, Ram.
I have found the distributor's address.

Not on the phone.

I will meet you in person.

Here is the money.

You fool.

This is all your mess.

If you hadn't tortured
Basu brutally and k*lled him,

then Das wouldn't
have gone off the radar.

I understand, Sir...

I don't want your f*cking understanding.

I want action!

Sir, we will find her.

Are you sure no one got their hands
on the Kalam Shakti newspaper that day?

No, Sir. I'm hundred percent sure.

I cleaned it myself.

Then go find the
rock sample, at any cost!

f*ck.

You okay?

They boxed us into a corner.

Sir, the intrusion is not too deep.

They only got links to
some financial transactions.

This is impossible.

This is not an ordinary hacker.

These tools are not
easily available, Sir.

London?

Not likely, Sir.

This looks more like a local threat.

Sir...

Don't look at that, please.

Can you leave that alone?

There's nothing there.

Oh my God.

She is not answering the phone.

I don't know what's going on?

I hope she is okay but...

What corporation did
you say you were from?

She is in serious trouble.

Can you give us access
to her email and laptop?

No. Why would you need that?

Priya is carrying sensitive data.

We suspect corporate espionage.

Anything?

Priya, pickup.

What?

Suresh!

- Suresh! Come quickly!
- Yes, Sir.

- Yes, Sir.
- Start the car.

- Open the gate.
- Hurry up.

Ram, will the distributor
be willing to talk?

I don't know, Madam.

He is even scared to meet us at his house.

Don't be afraid, Madam.

Are you even aware about
the trouble you are getting into?

Sorry, Madam, I was scared.

They are keeping an eye on you as well.

I know.

But you please go back to London.

Why are you doing this?

Just pause for a second and think.

This is not your world.

They used me to k*ll Dad, Dhruv.

They wiped out an entire
tribe from the map.

Tell me don't the Bondrias
belong on this earth?

Where do I exist?

They are calling you a security threat.

Priya, I just want
you to understand that.

Dhruv, can you help me or not?

I am already looking into Dutta Mines.

Why are you getting into it?

Rao. Who is he? Where did he come from?

Do you think he works for the mines?

Sir. I don't think we should hang
around here for too long.

I have given Ram a number.

You guys please contact me on that only.

Who do you want to meet?

Department of Mining. Government of India.

You must leave the car here. Go on.

Hello.

What did you say your name was?

- Puneet Kumar.
- Huh?

Puneet Kumar.

Department of Mining, Audit Division.

ID card?

I have shown it three times already.

Well another time won't hurt, would it?

Orders?

You have mined a lot
in the last three years.

Yet your company is undergoing a loss.

It will be done.

Your security clearance will be done!

Then begin the inspection
at your own leisure.

I don't have time.
I am in a hurry.

There is no time for
leisure, Mr. Banerjee.

Haven't you heard - If you snooze,

you lose.

Let me check, Madam.

Hey...

Where is your father?

I am a police officer,
I am here to help you.

Where is your father?

You were a distributor in
Kalam Shakti newspaper, weren't you?

Please leave.
I don't want to get involved in this.

I have a family.

The police told me to hide for a few days.

That's why we left our own house
and have been hiding here.

Please leave.

Sir.

We can help you.

Really?

What was published
in the newspaper that day?

Madam, I've known Basu for decades.

Make the headline a little bold.

- Okay.
- Alright?

Give the final print.

He was quite happy
to publish the news that day.

I will see you again! Bye!

Where is the rock?

What rock?

Where is the rock?

I don't know what you are talking about.

- Find it.
- Find it.

Where is the rock?

I don't know.

Find anything?

Speak.

Das isn't here.

And the rock is missing too.

Don't let a single
newspaper go out of here.

Let's go.

What is so special about that rock, Madam?

That day her sister sent rice
and fish in the lunch box for him.

Basu asked me to give that
lunch box back to her sister carefully.

But Basu doesn't have a sister.

He has.

She lives in Nyayapalli.

He loved his sister a lot.

Take another step and I
will throw this hot oil on you.

I am Swatantra Das' daughter.

Swatantra's daughter? Okay.

They k*lled my Basu brutally.

My little brother was all alone.

Did he send you a lunch box that day?

Just go and check inside.
I hid it inside a pot over there.

There...

You don't have to feel alone.

This house is yours as well.

Madam.

What's written in this?

Madam, this rock
belongs to Jengaburu.

"The Billion-Dollar Curse."

It's about a Bauxite mine

which is secured like
India - Pakistan border.

It's causing an illness.

The reporter is requesting the Government
of India to test this rock sample.

Someone is coming.

Madam...

Madam. Here...

There she is...

There.

Over there.

- Start the car. Get in.
- Catch her.

Hey...

Catch her. Catch her.

Catch her.

Hey! Don't sh**t. We can't use g*ns.
