02x08 - The God's Dilemma

[bunniefuu]

Grandpa.

Shubh.

After so many years!

You could have told me
that you were alive.

My presence or absence

makes no difference in anyone's life.

It does in mine.

Maybe it also makes
a difference to the lives of

the people you m*rder*d.

Shubh,

what have you turned into? What?

That

what your son always thought I was.

A demon.

Asur.

Don't you remember
how cruelly he'd thrash me?

He would treat me like an animal.
- However,

I always gave you the kind of love

that you deserved.

You put

a puppy that was alive

into a fire.

But I forgave your mistake.

Right

and wrong.

I want to change their definitions.

I am creating a new era.

I am setting humanity
free from all its pain.

Finally, you have

proven your father right.

You have always

given me love.

You were the only person
in this cruel world

who loved me.

That is why,

I'm here to pay my debt
to you for your compassion.

I am here to set you
free from your pain.

Attachment is pain.

Compassion is cruelty.

And the end is the beginning.

'Like the body, the society
also has an age-limit.'

'After that, only death can
set it free from its pain.'

'Like a new body, a new society will'

'give birth to new possibilities.'

'A society where'

'committing sin'

'will be the sole duty
of every man.'

'Finally, the time we were
all waiting for is here.'

'The whole country will
be watching today's debate.'

On the one hand is Anant,

who people think
is an avatar of Kalki,

and on the other hand is the person

who wears the mask of
Asur and calls himself Kali.

He has created
a sensation by offering

to debate on national television.

On the other hand, preparations are

in full swing at Mukti Ghat
for Anant's consecration.

Followers of Anant look
extremely enthusiastic.

'Only 30 minutes to go
before the debate starts.'

'Will Asur launch another attack
by using the debate as an excuse?'

'We'll have the answers to all
these questions shortly.'

'We will continue to
show you this telecast.'

'Keep watching our channel.'

I hope you're not scared.

You look more worried than me.

Anant, I have lost a lot because of

some of my decisions.

If something happens to you...
- The time of one's death

is already decided
before one's birth.

And that is the supreme
truth of the universe.

I don't care if I

have to alter the truth
of the universe,

I won't let any harm come to you.

That's a promise.

Nusrat, all okay?

I know your pains were a lot, Nusrat.

But thank you for coming along.

It's my job, Nikhil.

And I'm sorry about everything
that happened to you.

Well, it doesn't matter now.
Let's just find Shubh.

So, both you and DJ
think that Shubh will use

the debate as a pretext
to launch another attack?

We think if Shubh is the body,
then the AI machine is the soul.

The machine he built
must be fail-safe,

so that if something
were to happen to him,

the 'Mayastra' would
still get released.

That's why we have
to destroy that machine.

It's not...

Why do you think
this place is his base?

For a start, we found
Professor Rao's body there.

It was found five years ago, Nikhil.

And we don't know where the body
could have drifted in from.

That's not reason enough
for him to be there.

You're right.

It is a long shot. But we have
another important reason.

What?
- Kalki.

According to mythology,
Kalki was born

in Sambhala, a remote
village in the Himalayas.

It's a mythological story, Nikhil.

And we don't know
if Sambhala even exists.

I'm sure it doesn't exist.

But I'm going with
the essence of the myth.

The remotest village.

And this is just
a story to us, Nusrat.

But it is reality to Shubh.
He's *** delusional!

He actually thinks he is
a reincarnation of Kali.

And his sole purpose
in life is to k*ll Kalki.

Is he okay?

Yeah.

What do you think?

Will Shubh show up despite
all the security in place?

I don't know if he'll come or not.

But I'm sure about one thing.

He's not doing this just for a debate.

This is not his last move.

Are these all of
Pushkar's belongings?

Yeah.

The closure of the server
alerted them off and

they tried to destroy everything.

What is a gaming console doing

with a man like Pushkar?

A gaming console also has
a hard drive, right? - Yeah.

Send it for a safety scan.

And I need the results quickly.
- Right. Yes.

Ma'am, in such a short
amount of time...

A short amount of time!
You got information

about Professor Rao a week ago.

We sent you the photograph
of a man who was with him,

but you took no action!

Sir, we tried our best.

But we found nothing.

Look, Professor Rao wasn't a local.

Had you asked a few
locals around here,

maybe someone would have told you
if they'd seen someone new here.

This is a tourist area, ma'am.

Hundreds of outsiders come here.

How many faces will people remember?

That man was here five years ago...

Do you understand
the seriousness of the situation?

This is a national emergency
and you're sitting idle!

Forgive me, sir,

but this isn't Delhi.

We don't have the staff and
other resources like you do.

Did you check the autopsy report?

I did.
- Can we take a look at it?

You certainly can.

But we wouldn't have
a case file from five years ago.

Where is it?
- We'd have to get it.

From Dhanaulti.

Please get it quickly.
- I will.

'It's only a few minutes
to go before 12 o'clock.'

'Will Kali appear before everyone...'

Now, the only question remains is
whether he will come today or not.

What will be the result
of this face-off?

'Stay with us and watch
the event unfold.'

You couldn't dare face me?

You want to hide behind
a mask even today!

I thought we would be face to face.

I'm not hiding.

Everyone knows the truth about me.

But today, the world shall
know the truth about you.

Everyone will come to know
whether you're an avatar

or just someone's fraud.

I don't know whether
or not I'm an avatar,

but there is a God
who delivers justice.

Where is justice in this world?

Kids die of hunger.

The corrupt celebrate
in their palaces.

Sinners give away thrones
made of gold and silver

to wash their sins away.

A society that was founded
on the basis of 'Dharma',

is nothing but a construct
designed to cause pain.

The world is exactly

the way want to see it.

Beauty lies in one's perspective.

Not in the world.
- If the world is so perfect,

why is there so much anarchy?

You should ask this
question to yourself

instead of me, Shubh.

And you should ask yourself
what are you doing here.

You don't even know that
you are being exploited.

The people who were defeated by me

are using you as a weapon
for their selfish interests.

They're leading you astray.
- You are the one

who is trying to lead us astray.
The path you walk on

is full of cunning and cowardice.

The path I have chosen
is that of justice.

Murdering innocent people
can never be called justice.

Who is innocent here? The government?

'Dharma'.

The law and the economy?

They forgot their duties
and became corrupt long ago.

Is it justice

to blame everyone because
of a few bad people?

To create

a free and the best possible
society for everyone by

discarding the values
of morality is justice.

The society is built
on the pillar of morality.

What will be left
if that pillar falls?

Evil powers like you?

This society and this
world are in pain

on account of the illusion of
morality that a handful of people

have in their minds.
- You are right.

There is a lot of sorrow,

evil and disappointment
in the world.

However, the thorns on a plant

do not affect the beauty

of its flowers,
the butterflies that hover

around them and the fragrance
wafting through the air.

You are aware about
the cycle of life.

But you refuse to understand it.

Sorrow and happiness. Pain and joy.

Right and wrong.

These things maintain a balance.

One can never exist
without the other.

The lines of right and wrong
change with the flow of time.

Today's protector could be

tomorrow's destroyer.

Sir, a courier company
delivered a parcel for Anant.

We scanned it.
It has no expl*sives.

This is worse than an expl*sive.

An avatar is not tested by his words.

'He is tested by his actions.'

'Today, I will show the whole world'

'that when the avatar
has to make a choice'

'he fails like any man
on the test of morality.'

'I have sent you a gift.'
- ***!

Dhananjay Rajpoot,

deliver the gift to the avatar,

so that the entire world
can see that he's a fraud.

'He can influence
people with his words.'

'But he cannot protect their lives.'

'The lives of thousands of
people are in danger.'

'You have to make a choice.'

'Whom will you save?'

Those who believe in God

or those

who don't believe in Him?

Blue is for the believers.

And white is for the non-believers.

If you don't choose by sunset,
both the groups will be k*lled.

Let us see whether or
not God discriminates.

Everyone knows
the rules of this game.

'Especially, Dhananjay Rajpoot.'

Don't evacuate the places.

Otherwise, everyone will die.

Can all of you please leave
the room for some time?

No matter what we choose,

we're going to lose.

But no choice will be made today.

There won't be any games played.

Okay, it says that he was
frothing at his nose and mouth.

Over-distended lungs, water in
stomach and a watery fluid.

These are all symptoms of drowning.
The toxicology report?

Inconclusive.

So, without conducting any tests,

they wrote the cause
of death was drowning!

It's pointless to expect
the standard procedure

to be followed at
a place like this, Nikhil.

And there are burn marks
and boils all over the body.

It looks like a reaction.
- Hmm.

A stiffened body indicates paralysis

And the blood shows the presence
of aconitum alkaloid.

Poisoning.

So, Shubh k*lled Professor Rao
with pseud-aconitine first.

Then, Shubh threw him in water.

'after Asur's issued his challenge.'

'The police in all the states have
been alerted in all the states'

It's difficult to say which
two places Asur will attack.

To identify these two
locations in a country like India

where there are religious
gatherings at every corner

will be a huge task for the CBI.

'within just six hours
To identify the two locations'

looks almost impossible.

Pushkar used to play Omega Warriors.

It's a multiplayer game and

all I figure is that there were
some in-game purchases.

Like power and weapons.
Nothing weird as such.

Oh! And, yeah, some chats.

What is this?

This?
- Hmm.

A player named Modern Munto
sent some photos to Pushkar.

In a w*r game,

there are pictures of sunflowers
instead of bombs and weapons!

All the four pictures.

This can't be a coincidence.

Shubh was disconnected
from the outside world.

So, he must have got
the poison from a nearby plant.

A plant which grows in the Himalayas

and has the alkaloid pseud-aconitine.

Got it. Aconitum ferox.

It grows easily in
the mountains of Uttarakhand

and it contains a high amount
of the alkaloid pseud-aconitine.

Sir! Sir! What is the last
village on this road?

Bhaidur. That's the last village.

After that, the valley
of Hathi Parbat starts.

Thanks!

Through online gaming, Pushkar was
chatting with another user.

We found these photos
in their messages.

See, I know this is some
kind of a secret code, but

I'm just not able to figure it out.

Zoom in.

What do you call those seeds
on the flower head? - Florets.

There are florets missing in that.
- Right.

It's like a break in the pattern.
Just check on that.

Fibonacci sequence!

That's it.

You see these missing florets?
Each of them corresponds to a number.

Okay, let's note these numbers.

0, 1, 1.

25,18,25, 13.

Let's take a look at
the other flowers.

8,13, 21.

34, 55, 1, 2, 3.

Flower number three. 18, 13, 24, 25.

77, 18, 0, 2.

Flower number four. 29, 1, 1, 4.

1, 2, 3.

There.

Coordinates!

These are the coordinates!

Search the location.

Sir, the first two locations

are the ones where the bodies of
Shalini and Akbar Mirza were found.

Okay, and the other two?

One of them is Mukti Ghat, Varanasi.

Sir, the second one is here in Delhi.

Indira Nagar.
- Hmm.

There's a conference centre
at the location.

***!

There's an international science
conference in progress there.

It's all over the news.
- Yeah.

Scientists from all over
the world will be present there.

Scientists!

That means non-believers.

They believe in nothing but proof.

And Mukti Ghat!

They are all believers!

They don't need proof to be faithful.

DJ, we'll have to get those
locations evacuated.

No, sir. We...

Sir, we can't evacuate.

Sir, Shubh's warning is very clear.

If we try to evacuate people,
he'll k*ll everyone.

There are thousands of
people at those locations.

We can't risk their lives!

But, sir, we can't put the lives of
millions at stake for a few thousand.

If Nikhil doesn't find
Shubh's AI piece

or if he can't get there

and Shubh releases the 'Mayastra',

there will be nothing we can do.

Sir, this is our only
shot at catching Shubh.

We have to take this risk.

This is a high-altitude region.

That poisonous plant could grow
anywhere here. Why just Bhaidur?

As I said, Bhaidur is
the remotest village.

And that's exactly
how Shubh likes it.

We've got a sketch.

Someone must have seen him.
- Only if he's ever stepped outside.

Nusrat, no matter
how big a genius he is,

he can't overcome
his basic survival needs.

He must get hungry.

How far?

Half an hour.

As per your instructions,

we double-checked the entire area.

Everything is secure.
- Trust me,

it's not.
- Sir, please try to understand.

Renowned scientists from
all over the world are here.

It's a matter of national pride.

National pride is not
above national security.

We found nothing, sir.

Sir.
- Yes?

We checked and scanned everything.

We found no expl*sives.

A guest could bring in the expl*sive.

There could be a human b*mb
in the auditorium.

It's impossible.

We have gave entry to each guest
only after thorough checking.

Nothing is impossible for
the man we're dealing with.

He can track the audio,
video and location

of every person sitting in that
auditorium on his phone.

Then, we must evacuate the building.
- We can't.

Everyone will die.

All Hail...
- Lord Anant!

All Hail...
- Lord Anant!

All Hail...
- Lord Anant!

All Hail...
- Lord Anant!

All Hail...
- Lord Anant!

All Hail...
- Lord Anant!

All Hail...
- Lord Anant!

All Hail...
- Lord Anant!

All Hail...
- Lord Anant!

We searched the entire area.
We found nothing.

Check again.

You need to especially keep an eye
on the area surrounding the ghat.

Today, we have gathered here...

Mr. Rajpoot, do you see
how big the crowd is?

He will get suspicious.

If people sense that
there is danger here,

they will become restless and we
won't be able to control the crowd.

Do you understand?
- Just do as you're told.

We need to keep the crowd
under control somehow.

Let us all...

Nikhil, what's the status?

Sir, we're trying to
find Shubh's location.

What's the situation like over there?

Not good.

'We didn't find a b*mb
here or at the auditorium.'

We have no clue how
he is going to attack.

Nikhil, you have to find the
machine or thousands will die.

You have to find it and destroy it.

'Yes, sir. I am on it.
We'll find him.'

Why are there extra
speakers over there?

Those?
- Hmm.

A concert was held
here a few days ago.

They didn't pick up their equipment.

Mandy, check again.

Saurabh, check the speakers.

(Chants)

(Chants)

Please look carefully. It's very
important for us to find him.

Look, if we don't find him, we could
have riots in the country.

So, please look
carefully and tell us.

Has any of you seen him
or does anyone know

where he lives? Tell us anything
you might know. Please.

Look carefully.

This man lives around here.

It's very important
for us to catch him.

If we don't catch him by sunset,

thousands of people could die.

Please help us.

Everything looks normal here.

Exactly. That's what scares me.

We have only 30 minutes
to go before the sun sets,

and we don't even know
what he is going to do.

Only 30 minutes to go
before the sun sets.

'And the avatar is incapable
of making the decision.'

'But I'm not heartless
like your God.'

I don't want to punish you
for the avatar's failure.

The entire world has seen
the truth about the avatar.

Now, the time has come for me to
expose the truth about his devotees.

Now, it is your turn
to make a choice.

And your choice will decide
whether you'll live or die.

If you want to save your lives,

you will have to
sacrifice the avatar.

Let's see whose life is
more important to you.

Will he live or will you?

We have to vacate building.
We need to evacuate the guests.

You know we cannot evacuate.

Causing a panic won't help.

Let's just find that b*mb.

Why should thousands of people
die because of one person?

I say we should k*ll the child!

Otherwise, all of you
will die because of him!

You say the child should be k*lled!
How can you be so heartless?

You'll obviously say that.
Is your child's life in danger?

Please! Please! Please calm down.
Please calm down.

It is just a routine check. Please!

We cannot just...
- Try to understand.

If he's an avatar,
won't he save himself?

What are you saying?

If we do as this t*rror1st says,

many like him will
threaten us in the future!

If you don't k*ll him,
all of you will die!

How can we believe that
the child has miraculous powers?

We can't put the lives of thousands
of innocent people in danger.

63 percent of the people think there
is nothing wrong in k*lling Anant.

Thousands of people are in danger!

Calm down!
- k*ll him! k*ll him!

Calm down!
- k*ll him!

If you think that my death

will save your lives,
then I am ready to die.

But you are being cheated.

His victory does not lie
in my death or yours.

His victory lies in you accepting
the darkness within you.

Once you sacrifice your morality,

your lives will become meaningless.

When you think there
is darkness all around

and you can't seem
to find any solution,

there is still a way out of it.

I know where he lives.

Him?
- Yes. That way.

'Don't be scared.
Have faith in yourselves.'

Have faith in God.

He will protect all of us.

Walk fearlessly on your path

and therein lies his defeat.

Over there.

I've never gone beyond this point.

Thank you. You can go.

Nikhil.
- Hello, Naina.

We found the base. We're in.
- 'Careful, Nikhil.'

'It can be a trap.'

Keep your phone switched on.

I'm patching in DJ.

'DJ, Nikhil has reached the base.'

'Nikhil, I have informed
the local police.'

'They will be there soon.'

'Welcome, Nikhil.
And you, too, Nusrat.'

'I am happy that you are here.'

'You will be able to see the wrath
of Kali with your own eyes.'

'You will be helpless.'

'And the world's final sunset...'

Nikhil.

Tomorrow's sunrise will be Kali's.

But you won't be able to witness it.

'Nikhil Nair, I don't need
a camera to see you.'

'If you turn off the machine'

'or mess with the power supply,'

'both the bombs will explode.'

'And you will be responsible
for everyone's death.'

'Your end has begun.'

'Nikhil! Nikhil, can you hear me?'

'You have to connect me
to the mainframe now!'

Nikhil, I have the screen.

Copy. Naina's in.

Did you get all the concert
equipment checked?

Sir, there are only speakers
as the leftover equipment

and nothing else.

What do you mean?

If the equipment for the concert
wasn't picked up,

where's the rest of the equipment?

Why did they leave
just the speakers behind?

We checked the ghat and
its surrounding areas.

Everything is clean.
- Check again.

Keep checking until
you find something.

Naina, what's the status?

I'm trying to break in, DJ.

It's logged with three
layers of encryption.

I'm trying to override it.
Just a little more time.

Okay.

What happened?

The magnetic field is
causing an interference.

It's the speakers that are
causing the interference.

What is in those speakers?

Saurabh, scan that.

The parents were about
to lose their kids!

If you can't do anything...

Calm down for what? No, seriously!

Why are you saying
we should calm down?

Yeah.

DJ, there is a device inside.

This looks like an LRAD.

It's a very
sophisticated device, sir.

Its expl*si*n will create a massive
vibration and frequency.

A sonic b*mb! ***!

It bursts your ear drums.

After that, you're brain-dead.

Can you disarm it?

I don't see any trigger
or a battery wire.

It'll take a long time to figure out
its design, let alone disarm it.

We have to move it.
We have no other choice.

There's an in-built movement sensor.

It will get triggered if we move
it by a single inch. - Saurabh,

find a way! Find a way to disarm it!

***!

No idea, how to diasrm this?

There's only one way
you can disarm it.

We must shut off its power supply.

I'll do that. Sir.

'Nikhil, we found a sonic b*mb
in the speakers.'

'I'm sure its control
is at Shubh's base.'

'Naina, we have to break
into his system fast!'

I'm trying, DJ. I'm trying.

DJ, we're about to disarm the b*mb.

We'll be cutting the power supply.

Okay.

Rannvijay, what was that?

It didn't work.

'I don't know. The timer
tripped by five minutes.'

'Your efforts are in vain.
My victory is certain.'

'The world will witness
its final sunset today.'

'Fury, anarchy and darkness.'

'Tomorrow's sunrise will be Kali's.'

'This apocalypse shall destroy
all human values today.'

Rannvijay.

Block all the exits.

No one must be able to leave.
- Block all the exits right now!

Everyone will die, if they go out.

We have to buy sometime.

'Nusrat,'

'I want to give you a chance today.'

'You can get out of
here if you want to.'

Nusrat, don't listen to him!

You know what he's trying to do.

'You have
immeasurable strength, Nusrat.'

'And you never got credit for that.'

'You have always faced injustice.'

DJ, we have to make a decision fast.

If the b*mb is turned off,

the sound resonance will cause
the auditorium to crash down.

I know.

'Naina, we are unable
to defuse the b*mb.'

You'll have to defuse it.
There's no other way out.

One more layer of encryption is left.
Just a little more time.

'DJ, I've hit a firewall.
I'm trying to bypass it.'

I'm sorry, DJ.

'We cannot wait for Naina any-more.'

'Time is running out.'

'You will have to do something.'

'Don't waste your
life on these people.'

'Nusrat, save your life.'

'DJ,'

'you will have to take a life'

'to save thousands.'

'That's the only way, DJ. Come on.'

Shubh.

If I get out of here,

then,

there will be no difference
between you and I.

'You're making a mistake.'

In the end, everyone will leave you.
- You are an Asur!

Love...

You need to have feelings

to know the meaning of compassion!

And you don't have any!

You're numb. And hopeless.

Come on, DJ! Do it!

Today that illusion will break.

Today the thought of unwanted will end.

'DJ, come on! Do it now!'

Yes! I'm in! Nikhil, I'm in!

'I can't access
the mainframe network.'

'So, from here on, only you
can change everything.'

Can you see the route access.
It's right on the left corner.

'Click on that.
Nikhil, click on the route access.'

Scroll down. A little further down.

Right.
Now, find the control panel.

Nikhil, focus just take a deep breath.

'The time of one's death'

'is already decided
before one's birth.'

Nikhil that's the end, there is a
hidden process running in the server.

Go to the program! Yes! There!
Nikhil it's there!

Click it.

'Right! Just click on this!'

DJ, we found the trigger.

Disarming it now.

No, don't! Don't! Don't do it!
Don't disarm the b*mb.

What!
unless I tell you to.

Don't disarm the b*mb
Nikhil, disarm it!

Have you lost it? Nikhil! Disarm it.

Nikhil, it's a sonic b*mb.
No one will die for ten seconds.

'I have a hunch, Nikhil.'

If you've ever trusted me,
trust me now!

Nikhil, disarm it!

Nikhil, it's an order! Disarm it!

Nikhil!
- Nikhil!

Nusrat, it's a sonic b*mb.

We'll have a ten-second
window after it gets triggered.

Hopefully, no one's going to die.

DJ, I'm not doing it.

Naina, disarm it from here.
- I can't, sir.

And even if I could, I wouldn't.

Now! Nikhil, now! Now!

Looking at the true face of humanity,
did you not feel a sense of hatred?

When your own life was in danger,

you were ready to sacrifice your God.

Humane people!

This is Kali's victory.

And your God and His
values have been defeated.

You're the one who got defeated.

Their God is still alive.

And look at you.

Hadn't your AI predicted this?

I can't lecture on
philosophy like you do.

Nor can I read a mantra.

But there's one thing I know.

That there is a God

who doesn't allow

people like you to win.

That is your perspective.

From where I am,

you have lost everything.

Riya. Lolark.

And, yes,

your wife.

You loved her a lot, didn't you?

You are a coward.

You aren't capable
enough to even k*ll me.

What did you say?

'Death is salvation.'

Right?

How can I ever bring you salvation?

'There is no difference
between you and I, Nusrat.'

I have to meet someone.

I know why you are here.

Your mind is at unease.

You think you will feel a sense of
satisfaction to see me in jail.

You are deluded.

Won't you ask me questions
like Vetala today?

By now, you must have realized

that neither am I Vetala
nor are you Vikram.

But let me tell you a story.

During the great w*r against Kali,

Kalki and Dharmaraja realized

that it was impossible
to defeat Kali.

Kali had powerful generals.

Koka and Vikoka.

They were given
a boon by Lord Brahma.

That as long as they were together,
no one could defeat or k*ll them.

So, a conspiracy was hatched.

They were separated and k*lled.

Now, Kali's defeat was certain.

But Dharmaraja was not
satisfied with victory.

He m*rder*d Kali's entire family

in order to completely
finish off the Kali clan.

But he was unaware

that Kali had left his body.

Vrinda.

Vrinda.

Kali had left his body
and entered another one.

After possessing a new body,
he took a vow

that he would never limit
himself to one body.

For Kali, every ending

is a new beginning.

That is why, Kali is eternal.

I'm going.

To a far away place.

I just wanted to meet
you one last time.

Running away won't
bring you any salvation.

Say sorry to Riya.

'After possessing a new body,
he took a vow'

'that he would never limit
himself to one body.'
