02x06 - Of Mothers and Daughters

[bunniefuu]

Who else knows about it?

Does it matter?

Mom, does it really matter?!

Right now,

that's the only thing that matters.

I'm going to k*ll him.

You will do no such thing, Reuben.

How could he do this to us?

How could he do this to you?

It's not the first time, Reuben.

You are my brave son.

But your sister, Rachel…

she's only a child.

We can't have her knowing this.

We've vacated the entire floor, sir.

No other patients are allowed there.

Also, minimum uniformed officers

to attract least attention
to the security detail.

Good. Because if this news gets out…

Any update on Reuben Thom?

Not yet, sir.

But we're still looking.

I thought you had a solid tip.

Sorry, sir.

My fault.

I made a wrong call.

The media has branded him an extremist.

Thom's party men are burning his effigies.

There could be riots if we don't--

Give them revenge?

I was hoping
we could give them justice, sir.

I warned him, sir.

I told ACP Ansari not to go there.
That place…

Were you there with him
when he got that call?

Yes, I was.

I didn't know who the caller was.

He asked me for directions
and left with his g*n.

Sir…

if you don't mind,
can I say something?

Be careful where you're going.

It's the netherworld.

Once you're in,
it's impossible to get out.

Don't worry.

I'm a permanent resident
of the netherworld.

You can still walk away
from this, Isaac.

If DIG Saab finds out,

there'll be trouble for everyone involved.

Well, then let's make sure
he doesn't find out.

Her rib bones broke
and punctured her lungs.

The surgery is over,
but her internal bleeding hasn't stopped.

According to the doctor,

it could go either way.

It all depends on
how badly she wants to live.

Did you get any lead on that tip?

Who called ACP Ansari that day?

The call came from a phone booth.

We spoke with the owner…

but he couldn't identify anyone.

And Reuben Thom?

There's a sh**t-at-sight
order out on him.

So, basically,
an order to close the case.

Ma'am.

Ma'am, I think you should see this.

Isn't this the same businessman?

The one Reuben assaulted?

Bajoria.

I've seen him somewhere.

Sir.

He was at Reddy's hotel.

Kapil Reddy?

I'll see you later, ma'am.

- Shall we, sir?
- Let's go.

Slow down.

Pull over.

- Wait here.
- Yes, sir.

Silas.

Let's go.

You are mistaken, sir.

The attack on our house…

That wasn't Reuben Thom's men.

It was a different g*ng.

We outsiders have to pay money
to the local groups, a tax of sorts.

I've already told the police about this.

By "police" you mean the two
who just left?

We both know

they are police officers only in name,
but they work for Reuben.

And I bet they were here
to threaten you

to keep your mouth shut.

You're from Rajasthan,
aren't you, Mr. Bajoria?

I'm from your neighboring state, Haryana.

You can talk to me freely.

My father moved here in '67.

Both Dheeraj and I were born here.

It's been fifty years…

but we are still considered outsiders.

We had pulled out of the hotel deal.

But…

They…

Those b*stards still k*lled my brother.

Which hotel?

Was it Reddy's hotel?

What's Reuben got
to do with Reddy's hotel?

I don't know, sir.

We're businessmen.

When Reuben's men attacked our home,

we immediately pulled out of the deal.

But then we faced pressure
from Mr. Reddy.

He objected to
our backing out of the deal

once the LOI had been signed.

Which one of the seven hotels
was he planning to sell?

It was a bulk deal for all seven.

It was quite the bargain,
to be honest.

How come?

You come from a family
of businessmen, Mr. Bajoria.

I know you wouldn't get into a deal
without knowing the ins and outs of it.

So, what was it?

Well…

Mr. Reddy…

is leaving Nagaland for good.

He plans to move to Europe.

Send samples from the Saket raid
to the lab.

Don't forget.

Yes, Chaudhary.

Sir, need your help with something.

I need some intel on a certain someone.

Who?

Kapil Reddy, sir.

You guys carry on.

Where are you?

What was your excuse this time
to get leave sanctioned?

The one I used to give you.

Not the mother-in-law again!

Man, you're going down this time.

I know you'll be coming along
for the ride.

You wish!

Tell me, what do you need?

Whatever you can get on Reddy.
Maybe an old case or a report filed.

His plan is to sell everything
and leave India for good.

- There has to be a strong reason.
- Let me see what I can do.

And you better keep your head low
if you don't want another suspension.

Ever seen any Chaudhary
who can do that?

Down, hold your ears.

- Do it properly.
- That's what I'm doing, sir.

Shut up.

Don't f*ck with me.

- Hey! Get up.
- Come on, get it right.

You look like the one with brains,

so let me tell you.

Right now, I'm the only one

who believes Reuben didn't k*ll Bajoria.

He'd be a fool to k*ll Bajoria
even after the deal was called off.

Tell him in his language.

Sir…

No need. He got it.

I want to meet Reuben.

I meet Reuben.

You know the problem with you people.

You order everyone around,

thinking you own everything.

But guess what, you don't.

Tell him in his language.

Sir…

Are you done?

Now listen to me.

The day they find him,

they'll sh**t Reuben
and be done with the case.

Tell him that if he wants to live,
he has to meet me.

And he has to tell me
his deal with Reddy.

Hello. What?

Look.

Do you know about this?

They found the girl who k*lled Thom.

It's all over social media.

I don't know who leaked it, sir.

No, sir.

We'll control it immediately.

Yes, sir.

Seal all the entries.

Call traffic control and ask them
to block all the nearby roads.

The backup is on its way.

- Coordinate with them.
- Okay, ma'am.

- Please try again after some time--
- Pick up the phone, for God's sake.

- Long live…
- Jonathan Thom!

- Long live…
- Jonathan Thom!

They are Thom's party men.

We better get out of here.
Looks like there is going to be a curfew.

Do you believe every
WhatsApp forward you get?

Easy, easy.

The police are categorically
denying these rumors.

But that is not stopping
the buildup of the crowd

outside Jokima Hospital.

The anger here is palpable,

and if something is not done soon,

the situation could take
a serious turn.

We are covering this live
from outside Jokima Hospital.

So stay with us as we bring to you

minute-to-minute updates
on the situation unfolding.

Why is that girl here?

My brother was supposed
to be operated on today.

How is that going to happen now?

Do not panic.

Cooperate with the hospital staff.

Let us handle the situation.

Please.
Please, sit.

Do not worry.

I'm here to handle this.

Status on backup?

Thom's supporters burned down
a bus near New Market,

blocking the road.

It'll be a while before backup arrives.

Chaudhary, I'm busy.

Hello? We have to get her
out of there, ma'am.

What?

That's not possible.

You're not getting me.

sh*t's about to go down over there.

Get her out of there before that.

Chaudhary, there is no way
I can take her out at this point.

Hello?

- Oh, man!
- This road's closed.

Sir, don't! Sir, listen to me…

Shame on you for trying to protect her!

I told you she is not here.

Then why are the police here?

You've got the wrong information, brother.

SP ma'am, come in…

It's getting out of control here.
We need backup. Over!

Back off!

Back off, I warn you!
Back off!

Don't come any closer! Back off.

Back off!

Back off.

Just hold your position.
And do not sh**t.

I repeat, do not sh**t.

Move, move. Go inside!

- Move inside, quick!
- Go, go!

- Where is the fire alarm?
- That way.

Don't let anyone in.
Hold your positions.

Tell me where she is.
I know she is here.

- I am going to sh**t you.
- Please.

Tell me, fast.

- Or else, I swear I'll sh**t.
- Please.

Put your g*n down!

Put your g*n down!
She is not here.

I'm going to sh**t her.
I swear, I will.

Put your g*n down.
She is not here.

I don't believe you.

Put your g*n down,
and I'll let you leave.

Where the hell is she?

Put your g*n down,
and I'll let you go, okay?

The b*stards k*lled him!

The police have shot down
a young protester

outside Jokima Hospital.

And the situation is getting
out of control.

Go down to the reception.
Make sure no one gets in.

- Go, go!
- Okay, ma'am.

Please listen to me, ma'am.

It's not possible.

These guys have blocked
both the front and back exits.

Maybe there's some other exit?

There is no other exit.

Actually, ma'am, there is another exit.

From the medical college wing,

but we can only go there
from the terrace.

Medical wing… got it!

Isaac, come in.

Ma'am, we can't hold them any longer!

Isaac, we're getting her out.

Please get an ambulance
to the medical college wing.

Copy.

That's the medical college entrance.

Sister, can we hurry up, please?

Chaudhary, we're coming.

Be careful, ma'am.

Someone has already broken in.

Keep an eye out.
I'm on my way.

Search this room.

Hey, have you seen that girl?

No, I haven't.

How long can she be
without the ventilator?

Ten minutes, ma'am.

Look over there!

m*therf*cker!

You get her out, ma'am!

Up, up, up.

Be careful.

m*therf*cker!

Sister, hold her. Be careful.

- Hurry.
- Ma'am.

Hurry up.

I'll take it from here.
You go ahead.

Be careful.

Come on, let's go. Good.

Isaac, come in.

Did you get the ambulance?

Take the right from here.

That's it…
Pick her up.

- Pick her up, quickly!
- Be careful.

Ma'am, you take over from here.

Go!

m*therf*cker!

Isaac, quick!

Stop!

Let's go!

What are you looking at?

This is from Manali.

We went after
Siddharth's ninth-grade exams.

And the white you see on the mountains

is snow.

Have you ever seen snow?

It's white, just like cotton.

How about this?

Let your uncle come back.

We will take you there
to see the snow.

Where has Uncle gone?

He's gone for some work.

Has he gone looking for my dad?

Do you miss your dad?

What about your mom?

Your mom hasn't gone anywhere.

She's right here, looking out for you.

Checking if her Guddu
is eating properly

or if he is being a bother to Aunty.

That's how mothers are.

No matter where the child goes,

the mother is never
too far away from him.

Look straight.

Now, follow this pen with your
eyes without moving your head.

Okay.

Now, raise your arms
and walk in a straight line.

Come on, do it.

Have you injured your leg, too?

This has been there for a while.

Hurts as it pleases.

Do you drink?

Like there's no tomorrow.

Sister, get his uric acid levels checked.

There's no sign of any internal injury,

but we'll still do a CT scan
to rule out the possibility.

What did you mean by uric acid?

When uric acid levels go up in the body,

you can suffer from gout attacks.

This causes your leg to swell up,
which in turn can make you limp.

I'll write it out for you.

It's not that.

I have a uric acid condition.

More than two drinks
and I won't be able to walk tomorrow.

Once, at the railway station,

a girl did come to meet him.

I saw her from afar, so I don't
remember her face too well.

But she was a local,

and she had a limp.

Raghu used to give
fifty thousand rupees to Rose every month.

Where did the rest of the money go?

Where are you off to?

You're supposed
to be under observation.

Our sources confirm
that at least one person was k*lled

in the police firing
outside Jokima Hospital.

But one question remains
on everyone's lips in Kohima.

"Where is Rose Lizo?"

Is she dead or alive?

The police have refused
to comment on this.

Baby, sleep.

Who is it?

Why did you lie that day?

You knew where Rose was!

The fifty thousand you used
to take from her every month…

Were you blackmailing her?

Do you want to talk here
or at the police station?

Sir, please.

Jane doesn't know anything about this.

Come, baby.

She didn't send the money for me.

She used to send it for her child.

I wasn't the only one pregnant
in that rehab.

So was Rose.

I tried my best…

to help her quit.

Hi.

So that her baby could survive.

And she tried.

But she was going through
a lot at that time.

She was terrified that

if Thom found out about the baby,

he would k*ll them both.

She was so scared that
she could never give up on drugs.

But guess what?

Her baby still survived.

But…

mine didn't.

It was too risky for her to be
in Nagaland after the delivery.

She went to Delhi,

looking for a job.

She said she would clean herself up

and come back later for Jane.

But she never came back.

She just kept sending money.

Maybe this was her way
of reducing her guilt.

And then…

she called me three weeks ago.

She told me she was getting
a large sum from somewhere

and would be coming…

to…

take Jane away,

across the border.

- And from there--
- Hold on.

So, she was going to cross the border
with Jane and not with Raghu Paswan?

But then I went to see her…

That day, I knew
I couldn’t trust her with Jane.

She isn't my child,

but she's still my responsibility.

So, it was you who had called
ACP Ansari and given up her location?

I don’t understand.

You said Thom didn't know
about the baby.

Then why was he sending
money every month?

It wasn't Thom
who was sending that money.

It was Asenla, his wife.

They found the body
of one of our investors yesterday.

Is there an accusation there?

No, just a request.

I know you don't trust my husband…

but please trust me.

Oh, is it?

Isn’t he the one who sent you here?

I think we have a relationship
beyond our men.

I have helped you once, Asenla.

For eight years,

I have helped you pay off
that girl from my hotel.

And to this day,

I have never said a word to anyone.

That hotel of yours…

was where my husband
used to f*ck her.

And your husband knew about it.

The thing is, Grace,

you weren't paying her to help me.

The good Christian that you are,

you were paying for the
sins of your husband.

Well, aren't we both…

paying for the sins of our men?

What do you want from me, Grace?

If you meet the investor once

and personally assure him,

I can still convince him for the deal.

We pay you what we owe you,

and you'd never have to see us again.

- Yeah?
- Did she agree?

Kapil, can we please think this over?

- I'm not feeling--
- Oh, come on, Grace!

We have discussed this over
and over again.

All you had to do was get her
to agree, but--

Congratulations, Kapil.

She agreed.

Sir, could you please
give us an update on the talks?

Sir, are you in a position
to give us any updates?

Our sources tell us

that the talks
for the Naga Business Summit

have moved toward the final stages.

A lot of water has flown
under the bridge over the years,

but this time, the home ministry
officials seem confident

of a successful conclusion
to these talks.

After getting fired from the hotel,
Rose needed money.

She had called Thom,

but it was his wife,
Asenla, who answered

and promised to send
her money every month,

with the condition that
she would never meet Thom again.

Thank you, Felicia.

- Felicia, is Neemo ready?
- Yes.

If Asenla didn't know about the kid,

what was she sending the money for?

To keep her mouth shut.

But Thom was
a very colorful man, Chaudhary.

His affairs were common knowledge.

Why go through all this trouble
for this one girl?

We've got to find Reuben, ma'am.

He's the key to this case.

Yeah.

We're looking.

Bye, Mom.

Bye, monkey.

Last day before the holidays.

Excited?

- Yes!
- Yes!

Yes, yes, yes.

Hello, Uncle.

Hello.

Is your husband also in the police?

Who? Lanu?

No way.

No way!

He was an artist.

He was making this

when he had a sudden heart attack.

He loved Nagaland.

Wanted to call this…

"A Prayer for Peace."

That's why I want to raise Neemo here.

Maybe he can finish it one day.

Neemo!

The bus is here, Neemo.

Bye, Mom.

Ma'am,

didn't Thom's daughter
go to the same school?

She was barely sixteen
when she died by suicide.

What did she say?

Did you give her my message?

Look, I went there,
but she was in a meeting.

I couldn't go in.

You could have waited!

It was Reddy's wife she was meeting.

Your mother has agreed
to meet Bajoria

and give her blessings to their deal.

Didn't I tell you not to use your phone?

Mother…

Reuben, listen to him.

He is just trying to protect you.

What did you say
the name of that officer was?

The one from Delhi.

No. You can't trust him.

At this point,

I can't even trust my own mother.

Sir, please hurry.
It's my case hearing at the court today.

Sir…

Sir, your phone!

Sir!

How much longer will the principal take?

It's tough to say.

He’s in a staff meeting.

They’ll drink tea, eat samosas,
and then some.

Sir.

Your phone was ringing.

Hello?

Reuben is ready to meet you.
