01x04 - The Stranger

[bunniefuu]

[Birds Chirping]

Which month is it?

This is the last one.

Is everything alright?

They are asking for 6000 rupees.



- [Majid] Yes.
- Huh!

In our time,
we only had to give a treat.

Well, now the expenses
begin even before birth.

Don’t worry,

I’ve spoken to the contractor.

The night job is yours from today.

Thank you, Maqsood brother.

There is no need for thank you.
You are one of us.

- Maqsood brother.
- Yes?

Do you ever wonder
why are we doing all this?

What do you mean?

I mean...

All for just 300 rupees a day?

No job is big or small. Okay?

Do you know how many people would die
to have your job?

You just keep working hard and...

and see how your fortunes turn.

Oh, come on!

One little slip and death is certain.

[Maqsood] Why will you slip?

Here, look at me.
Keep your foot this way.

Nothing will happen!

But, the danger still remains right?

There is danger in stepping out
of the house as well.

Will you never step out?

You won't get it, Maqsood brother.

Ok, let it be.

Look, what is happening
on the seventh floor.

What?

[Majid] Oh come on.

[Maqsood] Just watch and enjoy.

[Majid] God! Let’s just do our work.

[Camera clicks]

[Shloka] Jim.

- Thank you so much for helping us today.
- No, no.

You know, I come to India.

It's a beautiful country.

I see Bollywood,

I see action,

I see b*llet...

India is crazy. Huh!

It is crazy! It's mental.
You are right.

A female hit-man.

What a headline it'll be!

Headline?

What headline?

Oh Sorry! Actually, I am a journalist.

I work for Notify magazine,
I was there to do research.

Ayesha. Ayesha Mirani.

Hi.

- [Jim] Hello.
- Hi.

Ayesha Mirani?

I've read your piece, 'The Immortal Man.'

Get out! You’ve read Immortal Man?

Immo...
What did you say?

Immortal. Immortal, means…

Immortal, someone who can't die.

Oh! Immortal.

It means she has written about you?

Huh?

One…two…three.

[Both women pant hard]

What’s done is done.

I know you didn’t mean it...

But no more, Okay?

That man doesn't want to die,

so we will not pursue him
anymore, Okay?

You will fly to Turkey as planned.

This is your ticket,
this is your passport, Ok?

As per the plans,

you are going to tomorrow night…

Upadhyay!

Look Maharaj,

this is the Elixir of immortality.

My Guruji sent me to Mumbai,
to hand it over to you.

[Ayesha] Nakul, he is right.

The Harsil ashram he is referring to,
my source had mentioned it as well.

What is all this?

All this is bullshit!

I'm no immortal!
You both have gone crazy.

I am Nakul.

[Jim] What is that brother?

It's nothing. It's a b*llet stuck
in my head.

It’s true, Maharaj.

You are immortal...
[Camera clicks]

Even after eleven attempts,
you did not die.

But how do you know
that Nakul is the immortal one?

There must be a lot of people who...

fail while committing suicide.

My guru had foretold,
when I meet the immortal one,

I will feel a sensation in my body.

A gust of wind will blow through me

and is what happened,

when I met Nakul Maharaj at the hospital.

Keep this.

That was the hospital air conditioner!

You take this back.

- Take it back.
- I won't take it back.

- What is this childish behavior?
- My work here is done.

I won’t take it back.

Take it or I will drop it.

This is hilarious.

Nakul...

You are going to be a star.

The biggest celebrity.

The celebrity who never dies.

No, no, no, no, no…

You can’t publish this nonsense.

Of course I can. I have to.

It's my duty.

Ayesha…

I understand this is
a big story for you.

If this was my job,
I would be excited too.

But you also have to understand
that there is a m*rder*r on the loose.

And, Nakul’s life is in danger.

You won’t risk our lives for a story!
[Camera clicks]

Right?

Of course, of course, I understand.

You guys have been through a lot today.

Don’t worry, I’ll not mention
any names or anything.

[Shloka] Thank you.

Don’t worry at all, ok?

Actually, I'll also head now.

This...

This is my card,

in case you need anything,
you can just give me a call.

- [Shloka] Yes, sure.
- [Ayesha] It was so nice meeting you guys.

Excuse me. One for me.
I'll call you.

Yes, yes.

Sorry!

Nakul...

I think I should also go
to the police station.

Jim.

Jim? Do you mind dropping me
at the police station?

Me?

[Shloka chuckles]

I’m so sorry, you already did
so much for us today.

- [Jim] No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
- [Shloka] And, I... I'll just take a rick.

[Jim] I, I come with you to see...

A big, big Indian police station.

I’ll come with you.

No, no, Nakul. It's...

It’s…it’s not safe for you.

You, just hold on.

[Shloka] Just keep this

Jim…

And if needed,
I’ll get the police here.

Okay?

You just rest.

Babaji, please take care of Nakul.

[Fokatiya chuckles] Me? Huh.

He is the immortal one,
in fact he will protect us.

Okay...

Okay. Bye.

Yeah, let’s go.

Hey!

Are you deaf?

Who the hell are you?

[Phone rings]

[Dwivedi] Hello!

Yes, Dwivedi.

[Dwivedi] Sorry, Sir.

[Dwivedi] Is this a bad time?

No. Tell me.

Sir, everything is fine here.

Few of the protesting monks
have started drinking juice.

Okay. What about...

When will they start eating solid food?

Sir, we are trying.

[Bir] Alright.

Sir, is there an operation going on there?

Yes.

What? Now.

Yeah, yeah there is a criminal.

We are in the middle of a shootout.

We are just about to catch him.

Sir, does Fokatiya have a g*ng as well?

Oh no, no. This is another case.

Since I’m here, the in-charge said
‘why not use manpower’.

[Dwivedi] Okay, sir.

[Dwivedi] Sir, has Fokatiya been caught?

He is about to.

Just some paperwork is left.

Alright, okay.

But, Sir, I can't hear
any sounds of b*ll*ts in the shootout.

Nothing is happening, Dwivedi.

Nobody is serious about work here.

Nobody is helping me.

I don’t know where to find Fokatiya.

I’m coming back.

[Dwivedi] Yes, Sir, come back.

Long live India, sir.

So madam, you are saying that this man
hired a hit-man agency to k*ll himself.

Yes.

But now he doesn’t want to die anymore?

Yes.

But those people aren't ready
to cancel the contract.

Yes!

Then madam...

This is a matter for the consumer court.

What!?

If you don't want to work
then just say so.

This man is my patient
and his life is in danger.

He was suicidal even before
signing the contract.

I had reported it then as well.
You people had told me to call later.

And, now…

Who is the senior here?

I will figure this myself.

Just wait, Madam.

I am the senior here.

That’s the toilet.

[Groans]

Jim,

Jim! Let's go.

[Camera clicks and whirrs]

He’s really famous, eh?

He is...

Jim!

Hmm...

How’s the pain?

Is this really the Elixir of immortality?

Yes.

Where did it come from?

Look, Maharaj.

Centuries ago...

the universe,

was ruled by demons

They were unbeatable.

All the Gods were worried,
and couldn’t think of a solution.

Lord Vishnu came and said,
‘No, no, no, no.

We can't beat the demons with strength,
we need to be smart.’

So he called the demons and suggested,

if they joined forces
and worked with the Gods,

then they could Churn the Ocean together
and share the precious, unattainable gems procured.

The demons were greedy and agreed.

Mandrachal mountain was used as the churner
and the snake Vasuki as the churning rope

with this, they 'Churned the Ocean'
and extracted many precious gems.

At the end of this process, came the Elixir.

This.

One second...

Is this the Elixir of immortality found
in the ‘Great Churning of the Ocean’?

Yes. This is the one.

In all these years,
no one found out about the Elixir?

Of course, they did.

The Britishers.

That’s when all the problems began.

In 1848, the new Governor General
of East India Company, Marquis of Dalhousie,

he got to know that the Elixir
was hidden somewhere in Punjab.

He wanted the Elixir at any cost

and used all his might to find it

in that process, many of our
gurus and brethren were k*lled.

Tch Tch

That's when my guru's guru,
the reverend Divyanandji,

he came up with a solution.

He conspired with the then Maharaj of Lahore,
Duleep Singh to trick the British.

Ask me how?

[Nakul] How?

They took a gem from the royal treasure,
and declared it to be the Elixir.

The beholder of this jewel
will be immortal, they said.

And the Britishers believed it.

They took it and embedded it
in Queen Victoria’s crown.

And they still believe the ordinary diamond
is actually the Elixir.

One second.

Are you referring to the Kohinoor diamond?

Yes, the name was something like that.

So the British took the Kohinoor believing it's the Elixir,
and they haven't figured it out till date?

Of course, they did.

In 1901.

What happened then?

Queen Victoria’s demise.

Aah. Aah.

If the Kohinoor was really the Elixir then...

Ok, Babaji, what will happen
if this bottle gets over?

Look, Maharaj, this…

[Phone rings]

- Hello?
- Nakul, just get out of the house, now.

[Nakul] Shloka, why? What happened?

That monk is a m*rder*r

and the police won't help at all.

You just get out of there,

and...

Meet me behind
my office building. Okay?

Okay.

What happened?

What did Shloka say?

I'll just go get some cigarettes.

Okay! Where are you going?
Where are you headed?

I’ll come along too.

No, you please wait here, rest.

I’ll be back in a second.

Maharaj, I’m coming with you.

Maharaj, I’ll tag along.

Maharaj!

Nakul Maharaj!

I am coming with you.

What!? Why are you running away?

Nakul Maharaj!

Wait for me.

Listen...

[Mobile engage tone]

sh*t!

[Phone rings]

Hello Shlokaji, I’m upstairs. You...

[Phone disconnect tone]
Hello... hello...

sh*t!

[Cat Meows]

[Cat Trilling]

[Indistinct chatter]

[Clank and a yell]

[Cat Meows]

[Cat Meows]

Hey! Listen, listen, listen...

He's not here.

I understand you are very angry.

I would be angry too.

I understand, I…
[Shloka cries out]

[Engine starts]

[Tires screech]

[b*llet fire]

[Phone rings]

Brother, I got him, brother.

What can I do, brother?

Don't worry, I won't do
something stupid.
