02x05 - Off Balance

[bunniefuu]

Jai Hind, sir.

Sir.

Jai Hind, sir.

Sub Inspector Imran Ansari
reporting for duty.

The table was off balance, sir.
I was trying to…

Sorry, sir.
It's my first day on the job.

Quite clearly.

My parents.

Here's a tip. Put it away.

Unless you want to see your
old man on the "wanted" board.

- Jai Hind, sir.
- Jai Hind, sir.

Chaudhary, he's a fresh recruit.

He'll be training under you.
Keep an eye on him.

I'll try my best to ensure
he doesn't turn out like me.

Yes, sir?

Do you drink?

Absolutely not, sir.

Good. Neither do I.

- Tokas…
- Yes, sir.

Take this and hand it over.

Are you sure it was Reuben Thom?

We got an accomplice, sir.

The neighbor gave us a tip.

He confessed to leading Reuben
to Rose Lizo's house.

Anything on her?

Not yet, sir.

But we're still looking.

Where is the officer's body now?

In postmortem, sir.

We'll be sending him…

His body to Delhi
first thing in the morning.

You know the trouble
with young officers nowadays?

They want to be heroes.

Go for glory.

I mean, he should have called you.

Asked for backup.

He did, sir.

What?

He called me.

Twice.

I didn't answer.

He did not call you, Meghna.

- No, sir. He did.
- Meghna,

he did not call you, okay?

Ma'am.

This was found in the forest below.

Have you seen her around?

You know you shouldn't do this.

Do what?

k*ll them like this.

Why?

Because you k*ll only
when you have no other choice.

They did not administer
the chemicals properly.

And the flight, too,
was delayed due to bad weather.

The body has started to rot…

I mean…

the body has started releasing fluids.

Please, sign this.

Sir?

Sir?

Gentlemen, you're not getting my point.

We are,
but there's not much we can do here.

Please try and understand our situation.

I get that his father cannot be here,

but we need someone
from the family, surely.

- How can we allow--
- Maulvi Saab,

the place where his parents live
has been placed under a curfew.

Now tell us what you'd like us to do.

This is not the right way to talk.

His body is rotting.
What's right about that?

Chaudhary!

Maulvi Saab, it's a request. Please.

Sir, we're all he's got now.

Come, let's get this started.

We can't let those who did this to Ansari…

get away with it.

That's the responsibility
of the local cops there in Nagaland.

Our job here is done.

What do you mean?

What do you think I mean
when I say it's done?

Got it?

As for you…

go meet the
Home Ministry officials tomorrow.

Submit your testimony.

And report back
to your station the day after.

Hey, stop.

Let's go.

Be careful, man!

Sorry.

Please stop the van.

Please, just stop.

Stop the van.

I'm sorry.

He's a childhood friend of his.

Shall I give you an overview?

Sure, sir.

This report states that the three party
workers of Reuben Thom's outfit

who had claimed to have
k*lled Jonathan Thom in Delhi

were themselves found dead
later in Kohima.

Correct?

Yes, sir.

But Rose Lizo, the main suspect
in Thom's m*rder, was not one of them.

Correct?

Yes, sir.

Someone had called

ACP Ansari a few days later
to tip him off about Rose.

Correct.

Acting on that tip,
ACP Ansari went to arrest her,

but he had an encounter with Reuben Thom,

who was there to k*ll Rose.

And unfortunately, in this encounter,

ACP Ansari lost his life.

And Reuben Thom is on the run.

Correct? Any hitch?

There's one tiny hitch, sir.

The three suspects
in that confession video

had left Reuben's outfit long ago.

In fact, they were no longer
on the wrong side of the law.

Someone hired them for the k*ll
and then got rid of them afterward.

We found this information during
our investigation in Nagaland.

Can you tell me
where Nagaland is on this map?

That's the one.

But don't be disheartened.

- It was only your first trip.
- Yes, sir.

I go there every month. I have to.

Strategically, commercially,
it's important every which way

to have a healthy relationship
with the North East.

And how is that going to be possible?

How, sir?

Only through the development
of industries and businesses…

which this Business Summit
would bring about.

We are talking about
twenty thousand crores here,

do you realize?

Sure, sir. But Reuben Thom--

What made you come back to Delhi
in the middle of the investigation?

That too, without informing DCP Bhardwaj.

It was my son's birthday, sir.

ACP Ansari himself had authorized it.

Well, he is no longer here
to confirm this.

And who asked you to create
a ruckus at Kapil Reddy's hotel?

ACP Ansari, again.

Who fired his weapon publicly
in a sensitive state?

And who broke protocol
by not informing the local police?

ACP Ansari all over again.

Can't be, sir.

There's definitely some
misunderstanding here.

ACP Ansari was very particular
about following the protocol.

Chaudhary…

I appreciate that you're covering
for your senior.

But it was a team of two,
out of which one was martyred.

There’s no way we can constitute
an inquiry against a martyr.

So, you tell me…

What should we do with you?

Sir…

Reuben Thom, the man wanted

for the m*rder of an IPS officer,

has turned fugitive.

A police team discovered this

when they raided his house

in the early hours of this morning.

A statewide hunt has now started

to arrest the president
of the Naga Youth Council.

In the meanwhile,

Asenla Thom has chosen

to distance herself from her son.

What did you do, Reuben?

Look, Mom,

I went there to look for the girl, okay?

And that cop happened to be there.

But I did not k*ll him.

Which girl?

- Rose.
- Have you lost it?

How could you go there
without informing me,

without taking my permission?

I thought I was in charge.

Quite clearly, you are not capable of it.

Hello? Reuben?

Hello?

- Who is it?
- It's me.

Someone tipped the SP
about this location.

She is on her way.

Any news about the girl?

Nope. We're still looking.

Where are we going?

They’re going to sh**t you on sight.

The only people
who can give you shelter now

are the underground rebels.

Isn't that James's car?

Can't be, ma'am.

He wasn't feeling well.

He left early for home.

Sure?

Yes, ma'am.

You're keeping an eye on him, right?

Yes, ma'am.

Someone was here.

I guess it's settled then.

It was James's car.

- Attention, NL-01-AE--
- Stop.

Don't.

What if there's a police walkie
in the car?

Yes, ma'am.

I know it's not easy
taking orders from a woman.

But get used to it already, Isaac.

Reuben! Here, take this.

- What?
- I asked you for just one thing.

To keep a low profile.

But you messed with my investors,
and then you did this.

I didn't k*ll him.

Someone else was there.

They have eyewitnesses, you idiot.

There's no way you're going
to get away with this.

So, what are you suggesting?

Surrender.

Let things cool down.

I promise I will get you out on bail.

And you call me an idiot?

The last thing I'll do
is trust people like you…

who use my land and my people
for their own benefit.

You just want me out of the way

so you can manipulate my mother.

Is that the story your mother sold you?

That you need to take care of her,
be in charge right now?

Listen, kid.

Your mother survived
a man like your father.

She doesn't need any protection.

I know you don't trust me

but don't trust everything
your mother says either.

Was ACP Ansari alone in Nagaland?

They went together,

but Inspector Chaudhary got lucky.

He had come back home
for his son's birthday.

I see.

Do you want to take a few days off?

No, sir. I'm good.

You did the right thing.

What do you mean?

I got a call from DCP Bhardwaj.

He told me about
the Home Ministry's briefing.

I would have done the same.

We are all just small parts
of this system, Chaudhary.

You, me, ACP Ansari.

All of us.

And we owe our loyalty only
to the system,

not to each other.

I'll get your insurance done,

but you'll have
to buy the premium package.

- Yes, I'll call to inquire.
- Sir.

- Okay.
- Sir.

It's my last day here, sir.

Thank you, sir.

Hello?

This is Uzair.

Who?

Imran's… friend.

Hello?

- Be careful.
- Yes, sir.

- These are glassware.
- Okay.

Sorry about the mess.

I'm moving to Bangalore on a sabbatical.

Do you have someone there?

Yes.

I have a few friends over there.

In fact, my father is also there,
but we aren't on speaking terms.

This belongs to you.

Imran had asked me
to send this along with you.

I'm guessing the whiskey
in Nagaland wasn't to your taste.

It's better you keep it.

I'm not used to drinking
expensive alcohol anyway.

I don't drink.

In fact, neither did Imran.

But he said he'll have
to give you company anyway,

so might as well drink the good kind.

By the way…

what exactly happened over there?

Uzair, the thing is,
nobody has a clue what went wrong.

And it looks like
they don’t want to find out either.

But I can tell you what my testimony says.

That the entire fault lies
with ACP Imran Ansari.

Do you still want me
to have this bottle?

Please.

You don't have to eat the whole plate
to realize the food is stale.

A single bite is enough.

What's the point of a job where
you can lose your life in a snap?

Correct me if I'm wrong.

So, what were you two chatting about?

Tell me.

I have but only one sister, you know?

I might not have been so
concerned if I had a few more.

Let's go back to Mr. Bhalla.

That job is still yours.

He knows me well.

Tell me, what did your friend get
for putting his life in danger?

Are they honoring him with a


And think about his parents.

They raised their kid
to be a police officer,

only to hear about his death
thousands of miles away.

They didn't even get to see
his face one last time.

He would have been better off
paddling boats on Dal Lake.

I hear it's peaceful there these days.

I’m thinking of investing
in property there myself.

Get up.

It's getting late.
You'll miss the last metro.

I have a car.

Fine, get going then.

Do you have something to say as well?

I left my car keys inside!

I said, buzz off!

So, tell me. What is it?

Have you lost it?

There's a child at home.

But you're a grown-up, right?

Aren't you?

Then why did you keep bugging me?

Kept pestering me to come back for a day.

And now Ansari is gone!

Forever!

And here I am with you.

Tell me, whose birthday are
we celebrating next?

Yes, I wanted to celebrate his birthday.

He's my son.

I looked after him
for eighteen damned years.

And now that he's gone,
I don't know what else to do.

But unlike you, I'm not going around
blaming the world for my troubles.

Don't worry. It's alright.

We've been ordered to close the case.

Congratulations on the good news,
Satbir Singh.

Our brilliant seniors have managed
to solve one more case.

What's this?

Dhruv Mallik's phone triangulation report.

From the night of Thom's m*rder.

I thought the case was solved.

How does it even matter now?

I know it matters to you.

This was my first decision

after becoming the society secretary.

CCTV for the entire society.

Previously, we would get
a lot of complaints about petty theft.

There she is.

She'll get it done in a jiffy.

Date and time?



Between 10:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m.

The camera facing the road
leading to Nagaland Sadan.

I'm raising my granddaughter
just as I would raise a grandson.

She's into sports and computers.
She's also training in Judo.

It's very important these days.

You know how unsafe Delhi can get.

That's it, rewind.

Play it from here.

Thank you for coming along.

I'm not doing you a favor, Chaudhary.

One of our own is dead.

This is the least any of us can do.

Yes, sir?

I'm here to meet your boss.

The bosses are all busy inside.

Some function, it seems.

Hey, Rambo! Come here.

- Yes, sir?
- Where are you from?

I'm from Sonipat, sir.

Oh, is it?
Say hello to the man from Rohtak.

Anyone else have any objections?

That's good, then.

Let's hear it!

Easy, Chaudhary.

Let's take him aside for a quiet chat.

Baby, I'll just be back.

Let's see how fast you are!

Baby! What's going on?

Somebody call the cops!
Call the bloody cops!

But that would be us, Uncle.

Sit down. Enjoy.

Baby!

You'll regret this.
I'll have you suspended.

At least you could've been original
with your threat, as*h*le!

- Where are you running?
- What is happening?

Come on,

show me how fast you can run.

Run, run now.

You think you can outrun me?

Where did you say you were that night?

On the night of the m*rder,

you were in Noida
attending a prayer, right?

Baby, what the hell is going on?

Yeah…

- What?
- He's a…

He's a friend.

I forgot to invite him to the wedding.

So, he's just a little upset.

Baby, what is happening here?

I only lied to hide my affair, sir,

or my wedding would've been called off.

Open the door, Dhruv!

- Open the door!
- Yeah, baby. Just five minutes.

Well, if you don't spill the truth,

this video is going up
on your wife's Insta story.

Rose got Raghu Paswan hired
at my nightclub.

Then I found out that he used to
bring her money every month from Dimapur.

Fifty thousand.

- That's right.
- Dhruv!

Go on!

I asked Rose what this money was for.

She said it was hush money.

She had an affair with Thom in Nagaland.
He was the one who sent this money.

What else?

When I pressed her some more,

she told me
she also has a child with Thom.

But even Thom wasn't aware of it.

Rose had a child?

We've got two text messages translated
from Rose's phone.

"Sorry for hiding it from you for so long.
I had no choice."

How do you know Thom?

I had never met him,

but I knew he was a big guy.

My supplier, Max Rizu,
used to work for him.

I asked…

Rose to blackmail Thom

for two crore rupees.

Dhruv, what's going on?

Shut it!

Sir, please…

- Continue.
- I…

I was desperate, sir.

My father's business, my nightclub,

this farmhouse, everything is in debt.

And I lost a lot of money
in a drug bust two months back.

I was in need of money.

It's called greed, you as*h*le.

Keep talking.

Sir…

Thom agreed to pay.

So, on the night of December 6th,
I took Rose to Nagaland Sadan.

She was supposed to get the
money and meet me outside.

I kept waiting…

but she didn't turn up.

That's why I called her so many times.

Maybe it didn't work out with Thom…

and she m*rder*d him
and escaped with Raghu Paswan.

I swear, this is all I know.

Please, don't mention this
to anyone outside.

This marriage is very important
for my family.

Damn you, Dhruv!

Damn you for ruining my day!

Save your tears.

He's getting married, after all.

Let him get used to some tears already.

You look like you're in a hurry.

You saw something, right?

A ghost?

How many planets are there
in the solar system, Neemo?

Felicia, please answer the phone.

Come on, we've done this before.

- Nine?
- No. Eight.

Pluto is not a planet anymore, right?

Why not?

Did he do something bad?

Ma'am, it's Mr. Isaac.

Hello?

We found her.

We found Rose.

I'll be there in thirty.

What's wrong?

I am going to fail today.

Why do you say that?

I've been a bad boy.

I didn't study much.

You said you'll never be angry
if I speak the truth.

Because…

Because that's the least we can do
when we make a mistake.

Jai Hind, ma'am.

We found her. Rose Lizo.

- Alive?
- Yes.

That day…

ACP Ansari had called me,
but I did not answer.

Neither did I.

You know I can't lie.

They made me pin everything on Ansari.

I can't live with this lie.

Just let me go and fix this.
