01x03 - Genesis

Post by bunniefuu »

This legacy can be anybody's.

Even Dhiman's?

Whether we're going to starve
or eat tonight

will depend on one of you.

He was our biggest supplier.

We should get out of here.

There's a Pablo Escobar
in your midst,

and you guys have no idea?

Birsa...

what the f*ck
are we doing?

Not now.

If not now,
then when?

Savitri is still alive,

and we just k*lled
our biggest supplier.

We're screwed.

The business
wasn't going well,

but it was surviving.

Now...

Now we have to run from here too.

We lost the Silver Ring, Birsa.

Now find a new supplier!

Tell me...

What is a person's biggest weakness?

Fear?

And what's their biggest strength?

Hunger.

Hunger overpowers
all our senses.

Your vision becomes sharp.

Hearing becomes clear.

Apart from its prey,

everything becomes hazy.

And the most important thing...

fear becomes powerless.

If you want to be fearless,

look within...

and ask yourself...

what makes you hungry.

The pawns have played their part.

Now it's the bishop's turn.

A MOTHER-IN-LAW,
DAUGHTERS-IN-LAW AND FLAMINGO

Herbs and handicrafts
to cocaine, Ma?

What's going on?

Are we really your sons?

No?

Ma, are we your sons?

Yes...

you both are my sons.

But the uncle from Runjh
is nobody to us.

I have never had a brother.

So, who was he?

An actor?

So, we spent our summer breaks...

with an actor in Runjh?

What a fool you've made of us.

Should have hired a father as well
and completed the family.

Today I won't hold anything back.

But you need courage
to hear my story.

There should be a reality
in dreams as well

so that when they break...

the dreamer doesn't.

This time, I want a girl.

What's wrong with my boys?

These two are monkeys
like their father.

But there's something different
about girls.

And how are we better?

You have no idea
of your strength.

Your willpower can move mountains.

And what if I get angry?

I'll have to tell you
in your ear.

Hmm.

-Bhola...
-Yes.

-Bhola...
-What?

Are we doing the right thing?

Look, you don't
have to come along.

It's a two-day journey,

and you're pregnant.

I'll say no to Gobar.

How will you manage the cops?

Tulsi goes every time.
This time I'll go.

If there was another way,
I would've...

Just one more year...

and we'll have enough
to settle in a village nearby.

All your worries
will be over for good.

As long as I have you,
I'm not worried.

Sleep now.
We have to leave early.

Watch the rest of our dreams
in your sleep.

I still remember the day...

I left you two with Tulsi.

It was a good day.

Only Gobar knew the way,

but it took us
three days instead of two.

Your father was very upset,

but he couldn't say anything
to Gobar.

He loved him like a brother.

But I had forgotten...

that we gypsies didn't have

the right to dream
like regular people.

Come on, let's go!

Keep walking. Don't look back.

What happened?

Don't worry.
Let's go home.

As long as I have you,
I'm not worried.

In our dream to build a home...

we forgot...

that gypsies homes aren't built
with brick and mortar...

but of people
who make it a home.

Hurry up. It's getting dark.

The path ahead is long.

The darkness is yours now.

The path ahead will be mine.

I lost my Bhola
and my home.

I thought I'll save some money

and move with you boys to the city.

But how does one escape their karma?

Dreams give us purpose...

and this purpose fuels
our will to live.

But what if our will itself dies?

Had he not been there that day...

then maybe you two wouldn't be...

Kaki!

Only a starving person knows...

how hunger can consume you.

Isn't it strange

that the thing
that k*lled my Bhola...

became our means of survival?

I don't know how or when

marginalised people like me
started arriving here.

No, no, no.

Initially, I felt
like their saviour.

But soon I realised

they were becoming my strength.

Then, I started seeing
a new dream.

A woman who rose from the ashes

and became a beacon of hope.

Her story spread like wildfire

and reached the wrong ears.

The vultures descended.

The choice between right
and wrong is a luxury

for those whose lives
are not at stake.

That day I was left
with no choice

but to shake hands
with the devil.

Saheb-ji...

My movement got a new name.

Rani Cooperative.

Ram Ram.

We have no idea
of our own strength.

Our willpower
can move mountains.

Saheb-ji had found a chemist

who was imprisoned in Goa
for making drugs.

They hailed him as a saviour,
a messiah and whatnot.

He was not a messiah.

But his drugs felt like
heaven on Earth.

RANI COOPERATIVE

RANI COOPERATIVE

If anyone could grow
coca plants in this desert,

it was this man.

sh*t!

f*ck that sh*t!

f*ck you, Sun!

I curse you!

sh*t!

Donze!

Donze, Donze!

I'm fine!

What is this place?

Ooh-la-la!
What is this place?

This is perfect.

Oh, magnificent.

Savi!

Do you know...

it's impossible to grow coca plants

outside South America?

My willpower and Donze's talent

did something in this desert

that wasn't possible before.

Welcome to the family.

Okay, okay, okay...

One, two, three!

It's so beautiful!

Come look, look!

Till date, nobody knows

where our cocaine comes from.

Rani Cooperative is like

a pond in this desert.

And our family is...

its caretakers.

Till we exist...

every lost soul will have
water to drink...

and a place to rest.

Ma?

Why didn't you
tell us earlier?

You went through so much.

Why didn't you tell us?

I wanted a different life for you.

The only way to do that...

was to send you away...

from me.

So, you fought alone...

I was never alone.

Only you two
were not with me.

So, if we wouldn't have
found this tunnel today...

you would've
never told us?

Didn't you find those pigeons
at Barood Bund?

Where have you
brought me, Jayantilal?

Sir, I have
a trustworthy informant.

Something strange
happened here five days ago.

Some Magadiyas attacked
an empty factory at night.

Who are these "Magadiyas"?

The mercenaries
of this region.

Sir, I came to give
the watchman some eye drops

when the Magadiyas
attacked us.

The watchman and I survived...

but Manu kaka...

Which way did the Magadiyas go?

Towards Rampur.

Manu kaka's missing head,

the security guard's
untimely retirement...

and the eye drops...

These are irrelevant distractions.

The boy is lying.

The real issue is...

if they went
towards Rampur...

where are they now?

To get shot
at the Pakistan border...

or take a swim
in the sea?

Why would they go on camels
to take a swim?

That's the point.

How is it that these...

What are they called again?

-Magadiyas.
-Right... Magadiyas...

How is it that nobody saw

these Magadiyas returning
from Rampur?

So, the coke I snorted
from Masha's backside in the US...

actually comes
from our backyard.

That's so cool!

We are sitting on a gold mine

built by our own mother.

-You try this.
-No.

It's good stuff--

The walls of this Haveli
are stained with blood.

This is beyond ill*gal.

Let's go back to the US.

If we stay here,
we'll get k*lled.

And leave Ma alone again.

I understand
how you're feeling.

Do you take the drugs too?

Kapil!

What's your role in all this?

I'm the khajanchee.

Khajanchee...
You mean accountant?

So, tell me,
Ms.Khajanchee...

what's our
annual turnover?

Around ₹5 billion.

f*ck, and I used to send Ma
$500 a month.

Kapil...

she's your Ma.

Your $500 is...

more valuable than ₹5 billion.

Kajal, do I look like Harish to you?

Yeah, so where was I?

I was saying...

how do you make
this billion-dollar drug?

Hey!

Mom instructed you two

to tell us everything
about the business.

But, if you don't want to,
I'll just ask Ma.

Cool?

Should I?

Thank you.

Yes.

Only we know how to grow
coca plants in India.

These leaves are
A-grade organic.

Shanta adds her magic chemicals
to the powder.

And boom!

It becomes 10 times stronger.

Its market name is Flamingo.

Our trucks move
across India...

and deliver the drugs
to Mumbai and Delhi.

The powder is moved
from under the cops' noses,

and the distributors
put it on the streets.

It's good.

And the entire city
goes crazy for it.

Nobody makes better cocaine than us.

Flamingo only sells in India? Or?

We sell in the Middle East...

and Europe too.

Cash is converted to Bitcoin,

and black money turns white.

Whoever knows
about our product

says only one thing...

"Flamingo is the real sh*t, man!"

Sir, I gave the package
like you asked.

I swear on my children!

You idiot!

Send the cake
to the minister's wife,

and the sex toys
to the minister's girlfriend.

I was very clear.

Was I not?

But what did you two idiots do?

Who the hell gives
an inflatable sex doll to his wife?

You fools.

Help!

Help!

Have you ever seen a jackal
swimming up to an alligator?

Savitri is selling
her stuff in Spain now,

and you cannot manage Calcutta
to Vizag.

You m*rder*d your biggest supplier,

and now everyone is
running after your life.

You're here for my help...

but are pretending
to do me a favour.

You have ghosts
from your past.

I hope it was right
to leave him with you.

Conquering hunger alone
won't get you wisdom.

You have to eliminate
the hunger of others too.

Both are achievable.

How?

This place is too small

for your potential.

You control the seas.

She can't touch you here.

It's time to do or die, Dil.

Then I'll have to enter the field.

I love a chance to spill blood.

Be extra cautious this time.

There's a new cop
from Mumbai.

Checking will double.

Keep the goods--

Keep the goods in the front,
Flamingo at the back.

I've gone grey doing this
my whole life, Dhiman.

These cops come and go.

Who has the ba*ls to
point fingers at Rani Baa?

That's right.

Dhiman is scared
of Rani Baa, uncle.

Dhiman is like a coconut,
hard on the outside...

but on the inside...

so soft...

What's so funny?

Get back to work.

Listen.

Have you gone mad?

In front of everybody?

What's your problem?

I have many problems...

but only one
should concern you.

Lemisevole.

When you mix it
with Flamingo...

it turns deadly.

The minister's son
overdosed on this.

But this is used
on animals, right?

Yeah!

You should try it.

Where does one find Lemisevole?

From any medical store.

Chirag...

that b*stard!

Whatever happened...

I'm sorry.

Dhiman, I know...

this is wrong
in the eyes of the world.

But you know
we tried really hard--

Please don't say it.

I haven't said till now.

But I will today.

Dhiman, you're not my brother.

You never were.

And you know what?

I f*cking love you.

Now, deal with it
the way you want to.

If you want the world
to respect you,

you need to respect yourself first.

The f*ck!

You two are
fighting again?

Why are you bickering like kids?

What did he say now?

Should I tell her?

I brought the lab test reports.

He did not like the result.

But you don't sh**t
the messenger, right?

Ma, I'll have
to leave for Mumbai.

Mom, you had
some work for us?

There's a meeting tonight.

I want everyone to be there.

To babysit Harish and Kapil
and teach them the trade?

Be on time.

Move these boxes from here.

Nice sword!

Is it local?

Just hold it properly.

A little angular.

Surrounded by the enemy!

And yet he stood strong.

Deep in the labyrinth...

Abhimanyu was trapped.

Nice name, right?

Abhimanyu.

For whom?

For...

the baby that we'll never
get down to making.

Nice.

It'll all happen.
I promise.

Yeah.

By the way...

my aim isn't any less than Arjun's.

Yeah, you're right.

Shefu, I've had a breakthrough
on this case.

In the darkness
of the night...

between the sand dunes...

lots of mercenaries.

Carrying swords.

Mercenaries usually loot people.

Who?

The richest man
in the village?

The king of this place.

Or the queen.

I know you have
many questions.

But, before I open
the floor to you,

let me make
a few things clear.

You all know that...

Harish and Kapil are...

now aware of
our business.

It was not my intention, but...

what's done is done.

I spent my whole life
creating Rani Cooperative.

But the events in
the past few days...

have forced me
to think about the future.

Harish...

Kapil...

both of you must become
a part of Rani Cooperative.

And...

you must learn things
from the ground up.

Mom...

it's in my blood
to do this.

Tell me, Mom.

There's a difference
between doing drugs...

and running
a drug business.

Ma, I don't want to be
a part of this drug racket.

I'm out.

Not a problem.

You can book your ticket
and leave whenever you want.

But stay till Janmashtami.

I'll be happy.

All right, but I will
take Kajal with me.

Kajal is your wife,
not a goat!

She can decide
for herself!

In the next two weeks...

on the day of
Janmashtami...

I will choose
one of you...

as my heir.

What do you mean
by "one of you"?

Ma, Dhiman is here too.

I mean...

your lineage and
your achievements...

they are irrelevant.

But your actions in
the next two weeks...

will greatly affect
my decisions.

-What do we have to do, Ma?
-Leave it to me.

What if something happens
to one of us?

"One of us"...

or me?

-Munim-ji...
-Yes, Rani Baa.

Explain it to them.

The decision has
already been taken.

Everything is written
in this Will.

But Rani Baa can
change it anytime.

I told you...

I have been thinking
about the future.

Whoever becomes
the heir...

Rani Cooperative...

will live forever.

RANI COOPERATIVE

Please...

Please don't tell Dhiman
the truth about his father.

Tulsi, don't you worry.

Swear on Shanta.

Don't worry, Tulsi.

I won't tell him anything.
