01x03 - The Afterlife

[bunniefuu]

[g*n shot]

[Birds flutter]

Nakul!

Oh no, Nakul!

Someone help me. Help.

Call an ambulance, Nakul.

Someone call an ambulance!

Nakul! Someone please call an ambulance!

Call an ambulance!

Nakul! Aye! Nakul!

Get in Madam, we have to
rush him to the hospital!

Nakul! Aye! Nakul!

Careful, careful.

Nakul! Nakul!

Nakul, Nakul...

Nakul stay with me.

Nakul, Nakul.

Do you have a red cloth?

This? Will this do?

No. I need a red one.

Nakul.

Hey Nakul!

Here, take this.

Take it!

[Taxi honks continuously]

[Crickets chirp]

Very surprising.

In my 25 years as a surgeon,
never seen such a case.

b*llet hit here, got deflected
and got lodged

into the frontal bone.

Here, do you see that?

Without exploding the skull.

If it had travelled few millimetres,
it would have ruptured his nerves.

Instant death!

It’s a miracle.

- Is he ok?
- Yes. Yes.

Thank God.

But we didn't take the b*llet out,

because it can rather cause complications.

So, he still has the b*llet
stuck to his head.

This is incredible.

But, doctor, will he be normal?

Yes. He is free to walk out
as soon as he wakes up.

Let’s keep him under observation
for a day or two. Ok?

Yes, sure. Thank you so much doctor.

Okay, take care.

What did he say?

Nakul survived again.

What do you mean ‘again’?

[Indistinct chatter]

Aye, Annie. How you eating?

[Annie Babbles]

Come here. Wait.

Wait, wait, wait.

Aye!

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Annie…

Ok, Upadhyay.

Hmm.

Pay attention now.
This is the plan, ya.

Tomorrow you pick up the visa
and also the itinerary from me.

And day after you fly to Istanbul,
where the client will meet you directly. Ok.

And after the job is done,
for about...

Six months, you will be...

The ninth symphony.

Beethoven composed it.

That too after he lost
his hearing, you know?

He loved his work so much that
he used to dip his head in ice water,

so that he won't fall asleep
and could keep working.

He lost his hearing because of this,
but he went on composing.

Now that's an artist.
Don't you think?

Yeah...

I also like Beethoven.

And, Arijit Singh...

Mummy, mummy I’m here...

Is he still single or what?
Do you know?

[Crockery breaking]

What the hell is wrong with these people,
getting their stupid kids out here!

Upadhyay, sit down.

Go! Get off!

Sorry, Uncle.

Annie…

Scoot! Go away.

Upadhyay, sit down.

Go away!

Karima, sit down!

Annie, come here.

It's okay.

Upadhyay...

Today I'm really very proud of you.

The Upadhyay I knew ten years ago,

would have gouged that guy’s eyes out.

[Sighs] This shows how much
you've matured.

Wait.

I have a gift for you.

Oh lord, give me strength.
[Huffs]

EKOL Jackal?

It's a paintbrush.

Uh, yeah.

What about me?

What's that?

Uff!

Uh! God!

[Cigarette crackles]

I don't want to do this work anymore.

It's different for you,
you like what you do.

I don't.

I have made...

I have made enough to survive.

I'll do anything else but pushing people
off cliffs for the rest of my life.

Whenever I k*ll someone, I feel…

Then quit!

Hmm.

[Cigarette crackles]

You've been on the night shift
for this entire week. Aren’t you bored?

No, sir.

Excuse me.

Yes?

What has happened to this lady?

Her? She says she fell while dancing,

but I think her husband has hit her.

What?

[Cardiac monitor beeps]

And, what about this man?

Severe cerebral attack.

Huh?

That means the doctor has said
he will be discharged in a week.

But I think he is a dead man.

Huh! What?

And, what has happened to him?

Oh, this is Mr. Dilip.

He is a regular visitor in the hospital.

Sometimes he'll put a sword in his mouth,
sometimes he'll hug a train,

sometimes he'll kiss a snake and some such.

Shloka...

Oh!
[Man cries out]

The elixir will guide you
to the immortal one.

For example, in India many monks,
holy men, claim to be immortal.

Many spiritual leaders claim to be immortal.

Is that all just a hoax?

- Good night Ayesha!
- Good night!

Scientists around the world agree
that immortality is not just a possibility.

It is going to be a reality by 2045.

Which means we are either
the last generation to die,

or the first generation to live forever.
- [Kartik] What's up Ayesha?

Hey!

Did you start working on that underworld story?

No, I’m still working on the immortality story.

What?

You’re still working on that stupid story?

Ayesha!

Here.

Ok let’s get this straight.

I let you publish that because
it seemed fun, it seemed interesting.

But you can't be focusing on
that stupid piece of story,

or fiction piece of information man.

Fiction?

Look at this Kartik.

I reported that the Harsil ashram
has an immortality potion.

A few days later the ashram gets attacked!

This is no coincidence, Kartik.
It's massive, it's huge.

In fact, we should have
all our resources on this story.

You stupid f*ck. You dumb f*ck.
Do you know what you have done?

The attack happened not because
there is some magical potion there.

The attack happened because you casually reported
that something like that exists there.

And based on what?

Some stupid idiot beggar
that you found on the train?

Anything that madman was saying,
you would believe it?

Well guess what now, Ayesha.
You've got blood on your hands.

He wasn’t... mad.

What?

He wasn't mad.

He looked like it,
but he wasn't.

The way he was speaking
about that immortal man,

It was as if...

- As if he knew him.
- Who is this immortal man?

That he refused to tell.

Well then, I refuse to let you
work on this story.

What the hell?

- Here!
- Kartik, what is this huh?

Work on this.

No!

Please I'm just about to crack it.

- You can't do this to me.
- Shut up and just please work on this man.

This is not fair, OK.

I'm about to crack it
and you are doing this to me.

[Video plays] ...transferred to a computer.
The other...

[Cardiac monitor beeps]

[Buzz]

For a while, I felt like
I had really died.

I felt like I was outside
of my body.

Some people had come
to mourn my death

but all of them

were not happy with me.

Oh, my beloved son.

So handsome even in death.

Sir... Let's leave this place sir!

Will your death...

Cure mom and dad?

I felt like nothing had changed
even after my death.

Nakul...

I was really scared, Ms. Shloka.

It's okay, Nakul.

You are totally fine.

What you just went through
is called a near death experience.

It's very common.

Nothing's going to happen.

Yes, maharaj.

Nothing can ever happen to you.

Nakul, this is Fokatiya baba.

He helped me a lot
while getting you here.

Thank you, babaji.

Ms. Shloka, you were right.

I don’t want to die anymore.

I can see everything clearly now.

I was foolish before.

Maybe, I just liked to
pity myself. I don’t know.

But now I feel like maybe my life
isn’t that bad.

And, maybe I'm not
that alone either.

You stayed here for me.
Thank you.

I’ll figure out something
or the other to do with my life.

Maybe I'll pay the three lakhs
and get my novel published.

But I just spent fifty thousand rupees
to get myself k*lled.

- Nakul
- No, I will find a way.

Nakul, thank God!

Thank god you...

You are trying to do this on your own.

But...

What if those people attack you again?

We have to stop them.

Nakul, the police is on their way.

- We'll tell them.
- No, no, Ms. Shloka,

We don't need to go to the police.

They will ask hundred different questions.

It's not their fault even,
I contracted my death.

Hmm.

[Woman] Thank you Ma'am

[Announcement] Next please.

Excuse me, this form...

Can you please check?
I got the wrong set of spectacles.

Here.

It's fine now.

Thank you.

[Protesters chant] Cast out the devil from
God’s land! Do it now! Do it now!

[Protesters chant] Cast out the devil from
God’s land! Do it now! Do it now!

[Protesters chant] Cast out the devil from
God’s land! Do it now! Do it now!

What's happening, Dwivedi?
[Protest chant continues]

Oh, Sir. A lot of monks
from different places have gathered.

They have warned that they will curse us
if we don't arrest the m*rder*r soon.

- They are fasting to protest.
- Nothing will happen.

Did you register a FIR?

No, Sir. How will I know
how to do it?

How will you know, meaning?

How are you in the police?

Sir, are we in the police?

And is this really a police station?
The whole force is just you and me.

And the only other crime here
was 12 years ago.

Shankar had lost his cow.

Who he found on his own.

- So, I’ve never done this...
- Okay, okay. It's fine.

Give it to me. I'll teach you.

Are you sure?
Fokatiya has gone to Mumbai?

Yes, sir. This is confirmed information.

Many people saw him
hurriedly buying a ticket to Mumbai.

The district office sent a letter.

I am going to Mumbai.

You have to handle everything here.

Oh!

Okay.

So, that means...

I'm a senior officer.

Junior too.

Sir!

The Mumbai police station
will be really modern, right?

[Sings] We are also enraged,

Think before you speak,

Don’t you stare at me,

Sailaru Sailare
What the hell did you say?

Sailaru Sailare
What the hell did you say?

Start with R…

Hey!

Sing, start with R

[Sings] Raja fell in love with Rani,

It was love at first sight,

Heart and mind, incapacitated.
- Vitthal sir? Vitthal sir?

With the arrow of her eye...
- Vitthal sir!

- Yes?
- Long live India, sir.

Inspector Bir Singh.

Officer in charge, Harsil.
PS Uttarakhand, Sir.

Yes, tell me.

Sir, I've been sent
by the headquarter.

Twelve sadhus were m*rder*d
in an ashram in my village.

This is one of those sadhus
who k*lled the others.

And, now he is hiding
in Mumbai.

Oh, I just saw him this morning

Really, Sir?

Go and put this up
on the wanted board.

But, sir...

Sadhus dying in Uttarakhand
is somehow my problem too.

[Everybody Laughs]

So, where were we

Raja fell in love with the Rani...

So, you are saying that if I pay you
twenty-five thousand rupees,

then you'll get me k*lled as well?

Please. Don't use
these words here.

See, what we do is just help you

to do what you have already decided to do.

See, there is no hurry.

- Think about it.
- Yes, absolutely.

So this help...

How will you do it?

However, you want us to.

Here, see.

Pushing off a cliff, strangulation,

We have all this.
Oh! And...

Our latest client.

Shot in the head.

Okay...

Won’t there be any problems
with the police?

You will be dead.
So why do you care? Right.

Correct.

Ah, sorry. Can I see that
picture again?

Yes of course. Here.

This...

He's dead?

Yes.

Okay!

[Knocks on the window]

So, now you don't want to die.

No.

Two days ago, you wanted to die.

Yes.

So in these two days...

What has changed?

Did you get a job?

Did your parents start walking?

Did your therapist fall
in love with you.

What? What has happened?

Look...

We aren’t selling shoes here.

You can't cancel your order
whenever you like.

You have signed papers.

There is a contract.
We will lose face.

Sorry, we can't cancel this now.

Hello!

What do you mean can't cancel?

Firstly, this is ill*gal, on top of that
you are talking rubbish.

Excuse me madam!
Please behave yourself.

Do you want to go along with him?

Look, Ms. Maria, we could have gone
to the cops as well.

What did you say?

With this thumb,

I’ll shove that b*llet in your head.

I’ll push it in!

Sweet. How much?

One thousand.

One thousand. You crazy man.

No. Only five hundred, okay.

- Okay sir.
- No more than that okay.

Excuse me, brother.
Excuse me.

Do you have one second!

My name Jim.

Praise the lord!

Bum? Ok! Bum!Ok!

Praise the lord!

O…Ok. Ha!

Are you Indian sadhu brother?

Sadhu? Yes, I am a sadhu.

- You?
- Yes.

You have superpower?

Magic? Can you do magic?

- You...
- What?

Can you perform magic?

Magic?

- Yes.
- Yes!

OK. See. Show me.

Finger. There?

Not there.

There? Not there.

You're crazier than him.

I pay five hundred for coconut,
you crazy brother.

OK. I show you foreign magic.
OK. Foreign magic.

Yeah. Okay, okay, okay.

- Okay, say cheese.
- What?

Okay.

[Camera clicks and whirs]

Ms. Maria, I understand
your problem. I really do.

I too get angry when
my clients break our deals.

Because, it's not just
about money. You know?

It’s also about the...

- The effort, the planning.
- Yes.

The time you spent.

I understand.

But, try to look at it
from our point of view once.

What would happen to me
if Nakul dies?

After my husband’s death,

Nakul is the only person
for whom I genuinely care.

Yes, Nakul. I really like you.

And if these people are still
going to k*ll you,

then I...

Ms. Maria, do me a favor.

Along with Nakul
make my contract too.

- Maria.
- Yes.

If they don't want to die
then let it be.

Aye! Shut up, Vikram!

I just, just shut up everybody.

[Maria huffs]

Look, Nakul.

I have nothing against you.

But I have given this job to Upadhyay.

And once Upadhyay decides that you'll die,
then you will definitely die.

No amount of money will stop her.

But...

But Upadhyay thinks you are dead
and, she's flying to Turkey tomorrow.

Maybe if you hide somewhere,
and she doesn't get to know

Doesn't get to know at all,
then, maybe you have a chance.

At least for six months.

[Ayesha shrieks]

Leave me! Let go!

Hey! What are you doing!

Hey, hey! Upadhyay! What?

Cut that out Upadhyay!

Goodness! Oh my goodness!

What are you doing man!?

Don’t do it! Please, please.
Listen to me.

- Stop fighting!
- Don't do it!

Both of you, stop it.

Stop it. Just. Oh, come on...

[g*n shot]

Upadhyay!

- [Fokatiya] Stop!
- [Jim] Wait, why you...

- [Jim] What the f*ck is going on?
- [Fokatiya] Nakul!

[Fokatiya] Get in. Get in!

[Shloka] Let's go. Let's go.

- [Jim] What's going on?
- [Fokatiya] Let's go, let's go!

[g*n fire and window shatters]

[Tires screech]
