02x05 - Behind Enemy Lines

[bunniefuu]

Hello, Akashvani presents to you
the news for today.

After the untimely demise of

Ex Prime Minister, Mr. Lalbahadur Shastri,

the Indian National Congress
declared its successor last night.

Tomorrow, on 24th January at 8 AM,

Mrs. Indira Gandhi will be sworn in

as the third Prime Minister of India.

- Hello?
- Hello?

Why weren't you answering the phone?

Tell me, Mathur.
Why do you sound so stressed?

He has changed his plan.

Yes, yes. We know that. We are ready.

And don't worry.

I'll speak to Crowley.

And what about Raza?

Raza is on a wild goose chase.

Don't underestimate him.

Mathur, you just do your job.

We'll handle Raza.

Why don't you seem to understand?!

What if he gets hold of some evidence?

Who will he show it to?

There's no evidence, no witness,

No judge or jury.

Mr. Mathur,

Raza is on his own.

And when the time is right,

we'll deal with him.

What matters is

whether you are ready.

You focus on your job

and leave Raza to us. Got it?

Hello?

Yes, Mr. Dey.

We are moving up the plan.

It's happening today.

Let's move on it today.

Yeah, it shouldn't be a problem.

It's time we send a little
welcome gift to the new Prime Minister.

Kanchenjunga!

Dear Homi,

to say that we haven't had
our differences in the past...

Would be an understatement.

While we have engaged
in intellectual arguments

over the nuclear project
and its possible weaponisation,

I have always stood by your vision

and plan for the future.

However,

my conscience does not
allow me to do so anymore.

We have been at the forefront
of the nuclear arms movement

and in doing so, have engaged our country

and its people in a perpetual w*r
with the world.

The pain I saw in Pipsy's eyes

cannot be erased from my memory.

I think about those two little girls

practicing ballet
to show their father...

One who is never coming home.

Having said all that,

I must also reiterate that I have the
utmost faith in you, Homi.

That when the times comes,

you will make the right choice.

And when it does,

I hope you choose peace.

- Shall we, Homi?
- Hmmm.

- The weather seems quite bad.
- Yes.

The airport will be crowded.
Hope you don't miss the flight.

Subterranean soils and salts.

Interesting!

- Taking interest in pedology these days?
- Hmmm!

Do you know the Hindi term for it?

No.

Mrida (soil).

- Mridya vigyan. (Science of soil)
- Mridya vigyan. (Science of soil)

- Yes!
- So much to learn.

So much to see, still!

Just one life to do it all.

What's that saying, again?
"Some reach the destination pretty soon.

While some journey forever, like me!"

"While some journey forever, like me!"

Forever!

Personally,

I want to see the place of five mirages.

Mathur, pass my briefcase, would you?

Thank you. Shall we?

You carry on.
I'll check my room once and join you.

Yes, you told me about
the tracking system.

- Oh, that's - that's wonderful.
- Sir.

One minute, Dan.

Mr. Raza is on the other line.
He says it's urgent.

I don't wish to speak to him.

Next time he calls,
just say I'm not available.

Sorry, Dan, you were saying?

Yes, you told me about it.

That's brilliant news, Dan!

Wonderful!

Congratulations to all of you!

Tell the team I'll be visiting
Thumba very soon.

Yes.

Sir!

What happened, sir?

That was Dan from Thumba.

We're very close to making our first
indigenous rocket, Kalam.

That's great news, sir.

Our baby is all grown up.

It's a big day!

I think I should call...

- Sir, the team is waiting for you.
- Oh yes.

- Conference room.
- Let's go.

Tell me, Kalam,

have you got any calls from DAE?

- Or... Homi's office?
- No, sir.

- No calls from Homi either?
- Should I call him?

No no, it's okay.

I'll call him.

- Malli, go slow.
- Grandpa!

- Malli!
- Grandpa.

Grandpa!

Grandpa, I'm here!

- You're back early today.
- Yes.

- What did you learn today?
- I'll show you?!

Yes.

I'll start. Please sit.

Very good.

Excellent, my child!

Show aunt Mridula
when she visits tonight.

How's it possible tonight?

We're going house hunting today.

Right, mom?

New house?

It's not decided yet.

We were only thinking about it.

Vikram was about to tell you, dad.

- Hello?
- Vikram, you'll have to come home.

Mallika told your parents about

the new house, unbeknownst.

They're quite upset, especially dad.

Sir.. Sorry.

Coffee, just the way you like it.

Ah! Thank you.

The rains just won't stop, sir.

Can you imagine it's January?

I think you should postpone your trip.

I mean, the weather doesn't
look conducive for flying.

I can manage the flight, Atulya.

The real t*rture would be in Vienna.

Hours of unending lectures!

Talks of peace and harmony

from the 6 most heavily
armed countries in the world!

F*****g hypocrites!

- Ready, Homi? Getting late.
- Hmmm.

- Atulya...
- Yes, sir.

- You guys should also finish up quickly today.
- Yes absolutely, sir.

You'd better get home
before the weather worsens.

Who works in such weather!

And anyway, I don't think any work
will get done once we leave!

No sir!

- That's your reputation!
- That's not true at all, sir!

Sir, Raza called again.

I'll call him when I'm back.

He sounds desperate, sir.

He said your life is at stake.

Here I am trying to figure
that out for myself!

The day I get there,

I'll tell him myself.

Tell Raza not to call again.

Yes, sir.

Look, you... You don't understand.

Why can't I call?
This is no prank!

I said it's very urgent.
It's about life and death.

Hand him the phone now, please!

He left?

Where to?!

Home?!

Hello?!

Damn it! He left for home.

Thank you, Rajesh.

- My dear boy is here!
- Hello, mom.

Come have tea before Homi leaves.

No, ma'am.
We'll wait here for Mathur sir.

Come in, I'll deal with Mathur.

Rajesh, forget that and come in.

Dad?

Kept it safe here, away from mom's eyes.

Hard to hide anything from her.

Do you recall our holiday in Paris?

I got lost in the market.

You got lost in a public library.

I was hassling with a French woman
to take me to The Retreat!

I wasn't worried that I was lost

in a foreign country...

But I was angry she didn't know
The Retreat!

That little boy knew he was away
from home.

No matter where I go,
this will always be my home, dad.

I feel I uh...

I owe it to Mrinalini and the kids.

It's important for the children,

and for us too.

Yes, I know.

So,

what else have you hidden here?

Mom,

I'm sorry you learnt
this from Malli and not us.

It's okay.

You can't keep people with you forever,

not even your kids.

You married into this
family 20 years ago.

Now you're going to your own house.

We're still a family, right?

Don't worry.

It's good,

Vikram will get a reality check.

I think he'll miss
the out-house the most.

That's where
all the important discussion happen.

There's something about that out-house.

Cigarette!

That's where they're hidden.

Hey! Hey! Who is it? Stop!

Raza!

What are you doing?

Homi, Mathur is a traitor.

Beware of him.
He'll k*ll you.

- He's extremely dangerous.
- Stop, Raza!

- You want me to stop?
- I've had enough.

- You've gone berserk!
- Berserk?

Yes. Haven't you done enough
damage at the college campus?

Now you're stealing Homi's briefcase
from his house!

- Bloody scoundrel, traitor, cheat!
- Let go, Raza!

- Raza! - You're a bloody traitor!
- Stop it!

Stop it!

Sorry, Homi. Sorry.

Don't trust that man, Homi.

I've seen it myself.

He kept this briefcase in your car.

He's gone crazy.

There could be a b*mb in this.

Mathur works for the CIA.

I've seen it and heard it all!

I have evidence.

- Interested?
- Yes, show us the evidence!

Hey...
Move, let me show it.

Leave him.

Leave him.

Homi, I have no weapon.

Thank you.

- Raza! What the hell are you doing?
- I have the evidence.

Look at this paper.

He won't let me show it.

It says everything.

I'll expose Mathur.

Here... See this

It was written here.

Homi, Believe me.

It was written here.

Homi Bhabha.

Kanchenjunga... Kanchenjunga

Believe me, Homi.

It was written here.

I saw it. Here....

I've heard them too.

Kanchenjunga... Kanchenj...
Where did it go!

Raza!

They're planning
to blow up Kanchenjunga.

- Raza! Listen to me.
- Homi.

- Go home.
- Prasanjit Dey...

You have come to my house, I...

I can't bear to see you like this.
Please go home.

Please go home.

- Homi... Homi!

Homi, stop!
One second, one second.

He kept your briefcase in his car.

That means he has an identical brief case.

It'll be in his car.

That should convince you, right?

I'll get it right away.

You'll see, Mathur. You'll see!

Here's the key, Raza sir.

- Search all you want.
- I won't spare you, Mathur!

You're done for.

Homi, believe me,

He's up to something.

Damn it! It was right here.

- Homi...
- Hey!

I saw him and his boss Prasanjit Dey

in the office of
Swatantra Magazine office.

- Take him home.
- They burnt everything, Homi.

Homi, let's go there.
We'll find some clue there.

Don't hurt him!

Homi, I found this paper there.

- Let go of his hand.
- He has to be exposed.

He's a dangerous man, Homi.

Heed me.

Homi, think again. Check the briefcase!

You'll be convinced. Mathur...

Mathur, you won't be spared!

Homi, I have a camera. I have pictures!

Are you alright?

Should I be worried?

He did exactly as we expected.

Did you...

switch the briefcase?

Yes, finally.

And has Homi reached the airport?

Dear Homi,

to say that we haven't had
our differences in the past...

Would be an understatement.

The pain I saw in Pipsy's eyes
cannot be erased from my memory.

I think about those two little girls

practicing ballet
to show their father.

One who is never coming home.

- Hello?
- Mrinalini darling!

- How are you?
- Homi!

I hope you've called to say that
you're in Ahmadabad.

No, no, no, no, no...

Sadly, I'm at the Bombay airport.

I'm headed to Vienna.

Aaah! Romantic trip, hmm?

Yes yes! Just me and
the entire UN.

Cozy!

Obviously,

you think of nothing but work, right?

How's Pipsy?

She's uh.. She's fine.

I'm thinking of going to Delhi...

To be with her.

I think you should come, Homi.

You know she'll like it, right?

- Uh..
- Air India flight 101 is ready for boarding.

All passengers are requested
to head to gate number 2. Thank you.

That's my cue.

Kindly keep your passport
and boarding pass ready for check-in.

I know that Vikram is miffed with you.

- All passengers traveling to Geneva...
- But no matter what he says,

you know he loves you, right?

We both do. Okay?

- Homi?
- Yes yes yes yes, I'm here, I'm here.

When I get back from Vienna,

I'll come and see you

and the kids.

- All three of them.
- That's better!

Then we'll all go to Delhi, okay?

Okay, Madam Prime Minister.

Okay, take care of yourself
and I'll see you soon.

- Bye.
- Bye, Mrinalini. Love you.

Hello, Bunshah residence.

Hello?

Hello?

- Last call for Air India flight 101.
- I...

All passengers are requested
to head to gate number 2.

Homi?

Homi called from Bombay airport.

He's leaving for Geneva.

He wanted to talk to you.

Did he say so?

Wouldn't that hurt his ego?

You two haven't spoken
since you met in Delhi, right?

I wrote to him but he didn't respond.

You should talk to him, Vikram.

It hasn't been easy for him, you know.

He seemed really sad.

You know, I always felt that

we've taken different routes
to the same destination.

But now I feel that our
destinations are different, too.

That may be the case,

but he's your friend, Vikram.

Talk to him when he comes back.

Hello? Hello?

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen,

on behalf of Air India
and the entire crew,

it's a pleasure to welcome you
on board Air India flight number 101

Kanchenjunga to Geneva

with layovers in Delhi and Beirut.

Our flight run to Geneva
will be 12 hours and 35 minutes

and we'll be flying
at an altitude of 30,000 feet.

Thank you and have a safe flight.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Mr. Crowley,

I have news for you.

Mr. Mathur was successful
in making the switch.

We finally have what
we have been looking for.

The documents
and I will reach you in due time.

Mr. Crowley, you're mistaken.

We have proof that India

was making a b*mb.

As we prepare to land in Geneva,
we're expecting some turbulence.

Request you to please stay put
and have your seatbelts on.

- Excuse me.
- Yes?

I think I've seen you before.
Umm.. Cambridge?

Yes, my son, he graduated from there.

I guess you gave the commencement speech.

- Maybe.
- Oh okay.

- And you are?
- Oh, I'm Shirin.

Nice to meet you, Shirin.

I'm Homi Bhabha.

Hello?

What happened, Vikram?

As per the intelligence,

there might have been a b*mb on the cargo.

I've informed the family
that it was a plane crash.

We can't afford another investigation.

Not in such a short duration
after Mr. Shastri...

Right?

There's a parade tomorrow.

The security threat...

What will be the official communication?

It was a snow storm

There was miscommunication between

Geneva airport and the air craft.

As a result,

the flight crashed
into the Alps at 8.25 AM.
