02x07 - Children of Men

[bunniefuu]

Let me tell you another one.

So, these two laborers
are digging in Kohima, okay?

- Suddenly, they hit something.
- Okay.

It sounds like metal.

The laborer's eyes light up.

He shrieks,

"Brother, looks like
I've hit the jackpot."

They quickly dig some more.

- And guess what it turns out to be?
- What?

A b*mb.

A Second World w*r b*mb.

The laborer says,
"Looks like I need the shitpot."

Hey, brother!

Can you not talk about bombs
and wars in front of these kids?

These kids are from Langchoma, you see.

How bad was it?

The villagers got caught in the
crossfire between the rebels.

This lot…
They lost members of their family.

And you see that boy over there?

He lost his entire clan.

Come on out, kids.

Come.

I don't go to church as often as I should,

but I do believe in the Lord.

And He will not let anyone in this world
be without a father figure.

He will find you a new father.

If not, He'll become one for you.

Yes.

Go, go, go!

Phone!

Watch.

Take off your clothes.

Take off your clothes.

Clothes! Clothes!

Are you alone?

Answer me!

- Don't get too close.
- Okay.

Let this idiot pass.

Check the tracker.

The phone is switched off.

We're getting the signal
from the jacket piece.

- Keep your eyes on the tracker.
- Okay, ma'am.

Here, wear this.

Overtake this white car.

Go.

What the f*ck?

We're heading toward the highway.

There's no way they'll take the highway.

They know we're checking every car
on that route.

Turn around!

Go back to where we came from, quick!

Stop.

Reverse.

Isn't this the same car?

Looks like it.

Chaudhary is somewhere here.

Of course! Christmas holidays.

Call backup.

Reverse.

I came alone to meet you.

And I'd like to meet you alone.

Alright, what do you want to know?

Who k*lled ACP Ansari?

You were there.

Who was it?

It was a sn*per.

Why did you threaten Bajoria?

Bajoria, who?

The thing is, Reuben,

I'm here because we can
help each other out.

You hear me?

So, whatever you know,
you’ve got to tell me.

Why did you threaten Bajoria
not to buy Reddy's hotels?

Because those hotels were built
from my father's money, not Reddy's.

You mean the money

Thom made smuggling drugs?

Reddy used to launder that money, right?

He is a snake.

My father wasn't supposed to be
a part of the summit in Delhi.

He went only because of Reddy.

Meaning?

My father didn't give a sh*t
about development in Nagaland.

All he cared about was money,
and he was making it.

Then why did he agree to go?

I don't know.

Something happened at the last minute.

He changed the party slogan overnight.

"The new dawn of development."

Yeah, right! Bloody liars.

How long have you known Rose?

She was your sister
Rachel's friend, right?

Your mother used to send
one lakh rupees to Rose every month…

for the last eight years.

Did you know that?

If a woman is willing to take the risk

of paying off her husband's mistress
without the husband's knowledge…

There can only be one reason for it.

She feels guilty for something.

Can I ask you something?

Your sister, Rachel…

Why did she commit suicide?

Careful, officer.

Don't go there.

Maybe she found out about her father's…

involvement with her friend--

Stop talking about my family.

You don't know anything.

Then let me tell you what I know.

I went to Rose's house.

Met her family.

Something struck me as strange.
While the mother keeps cursing Thom…

Thom was a monster.

…the father was crying
his heart out at his funeral.

He had worked for my father
for many years.

What kind of a father

grieves the death of a man
who ruined his daughter's life?

It can only mean one thing.

Bullshit.

I no father.

I no daughter.

He's not Rose's father.

Thom is.

And your sister found that out.

She didn't k*ll herself because
her father was sleeping with her friend.

It was because he was sleeping
with his own daughter--

You piece of sh*t!

You say one more word
about my family,

and I swear I will sh**t you.

Thom has a child with Rose.

She was just a kid.

And she looked up to him.

But he used her.

My father, he used Rose.

I don't know if it was Rose
who k*lled my father.

But if she did…

she did the right thing.

He got what he deserved.

I didn't go there to k*ll Rose.

My plan was to get her across the border

so my father's men couldn't get to her.

That's where ACP Ansari got k*lled.

And I got framed for it.

Maybe that's the price a son needs
to pay for his father's sins.

You should surrender, Reuben.

Become a witness for the state.

SP Barua and I will do
our best to help you.

At least you will live.

I'm not afraid of dying, officer,

as long it is for my land

and for my people.

But I am not going down
for crimes I didn't do.

Reuben.

Hey, stop! Stop!

It wasn't me.
Someone fired from outside.

I'm going in.

- Make sure no one else comes in.
- Okay.

We've got to go in.

The backup will be here in ten minutes.

Too late.

f*ck.

Give me cover.

Reuben?

It’s the Dimapur-Kohima corridor

that the corporates will be most keen on.

Yeah, definitely.

Especially in the tourism
and hospitality sectors.

Nagaland is such a beautiful state,
after all.

I hope we’ve finally managed to
get your tea right.

Yes, indeed.

- It's really nice.
- Excuse me.

Yeah, what?

Did the meeting happen?

No.

I'll let you know.

He's dead.

- Who?
- Reuben.

The police shot him.

What? How?

Listen,

they’re under strict orders
not to make it public

until these talks are concluded in Delhi.

And make sure Asenla hears none of it
before the meeting.

Who knows how she'll react?

Really, Kapil?

Is that what we've come to now?

You want me to lie to her face
about her son's death?

We don't have a choice, sweety.

No, Kapil.

You don't have a choice.

I have to go.

Uncle Ken,

everything okay?

- I was getting worried.
- Yeah.

Taizeen…

Will you take me
to the church this evening?

Yes, of course.

For the midnight mass?

No, it'll be too crowded then.

I just want to go there

and quietly pray for someone.

Okay.

Poor thing,

she's suffering for no fault of hers.

I… I am sorry.

He should've been here by now.

I understand.

The poor man just lost his brother.

It takes a while

to recover when you lose family.

What happened, Grace?

I am sorry, Asenla.

I really am.

My baby.

My little baby.

Come now.

Let's just postpone today's meeting.

I'll drop you home.

No.

We'll finish it all today.

Let’s just get it over with.

Hi, monkey.

Hi, Mom.

I called to remind you.

Remind me what?

See, I knew you'd forget.

I didn't eat my almonds today
for breakfast.

What did I forget?

Come on, Mom.

My Christmas gift.

Oh, no.

Oh, no!

I am so sorry.

How could I forget?

It's okay, Mom.
Just buy something now.

I mean, I can try.

But it's…

Christmas Eve, right?

I don't know if the shops will be open.

Then just promise me
you’ll be home by evening.

Okay, I promise.

I'll be home by evening, okay?

Okay.

- Bye.
- Bye, I love you.

We'll pack up early today.

Spend Christmas Eve at home, okay?

Lying to family is one thing, ma’am.
But let’s not lie to ourselves.

It's Christmas.

He's watching.

Mary, Joseph, lend your aid

While our hearts in love we raise

Gloria…

In excelsis Deo!

Gloria…

In excelsis Deo!

- Thank you.
- Somebody give that man a promotion.

- Merry Christmas, everyone!
- Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Our heroes are here!

Weren't we supposed to
keep this quiet, ma'am?

Excellent job, Meghna.

Isaac.

It's alright, Meghna.

You were only following orders.

Actually, we didn't sh**t Reuben, sir.

A sn*per did.

And to be honest, I wasn't
planning to follow your orders.

Sorry, sir.

Just thought you should know.

Anything else I should know?

That Delhi police inspector
you've been sheltering?

Make sure he's on
the first flight out tomorrow.

You didn't have to tell him this.

He's watching, right?

- Jai Hind, sir.
- Good news or bad news?

Which one do you want first?

Always the good one first, sir.

The Lord knows I really need it.

The Narcotics Department did prepare

a case file against Reddy.

What were the charges?

Nobody knows.

Meaning?

So, the bad news is that
the file has since gone missing.

And who ordered this cover-up?

Who do you think, Chaudhary?

It's always someone at the top.

This game goes far beyond
our pay grade, Chaudhary.

You’d better watch out.

Jai Hind, sir.

Excuse me, doctor.

Yes?

What's her condition?

She gained consciousness
for a little while today.

I'm hoping she'll start talking tomorrow.

Okay.

Feeling better?

Yes.

Take care.

Mom, I want to go home.

How old did you say she is?

She's eight.

Rose looked a lot like her at that age.

What does her father do?

He…

He's no more.

You're still young.

You should remarry.

No child should grow up without a father.

Rose,

your friend is leaving.

Go say goodbye to Aunty Rose.

Jane, go.

Go say goodbye to Aunty.

Jane!

Why are you acting like this?

She scares me.

I am sorry.

Rose, I am really sorry.

Sorry.

You heard me, right?

A child needs a father.

Needs a family.

Very good.

I'll be right back.

Have you put up the Santa?

Very good. Put up the star, too.

Hello!

Guddu's grandparents have finally come
to take him home.

Please come inside.

All good, kiddo?

How's your mother now?

I heard she had some heart complications.

That's why I didn't bother Chaudhary sir.

He's there with her, right?

Yes, she's better now.

He underwent surgery.

Was bedridden for two months.

How could I have left him alone
to come here?

God knows what got into my son.

Ended up destroying the whole family.

I’ll pack his bags.

Actually, they have an
appointment at AIIMS tomorrow.

They were wondering if Guddu
could stay with you for one more day.

That's up to Guddu.

What do you say, Guddu?

Would you like to stay one more day
with your aunty?

Yes.

So, you’re saying Delhi Narcotics had to…

drop Kapil Reddy's case?

Yes, ma'am.

Why would they do that?

Why is Reddy so important?

For the Business Summit.

According to Reuben,
Thom wasn’t interested in the summit.

And this summit couldn't
have happened without Thom.

Then what changed Thom's mind?

The fact that his drug business
took a major hit two months ago.

You seized drugs worth sixty crores
belonging to Max Rizu,

which actually belonged to Thom.

Thom was on the back foot,

and Reddy pressured him
into agreeing to the summit.

It was Delhi Narcotics
who tipped us off about this consignment.

And they got the information
from an undisclosed source.

That source has to be Reddy, ma'am.

Who would know more
about Thom’s businesses than Reddy?

And right after the summit,

Reddy is planning
to leave the country for good.

Whatever we do, we have to act quickly.

I am sorry, Chaudhary.
But you'll have to go back.

The DIG knows you're here.

You can lose your job.

And I might lose mine.

A sn*per k*lled ACP Ansari,

and Reuben met the same fate today.

Someone out there is taking out
the pieces of this puzzle.

You have to believe me.

And what I know is

that sometimes you can either
do your job or your duty.

Ma'am, your bill.

Thank you for the coffee, ma'am.

Kohima Tours and Travels.

The sn*per's car is registered

under a company called
Kohima Tours and Travels.

You’re not the only one here
doing your duty, Chaudhary.

So stop playing the martyr.

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.

Your phone was ringing.

Hello?

Reuben is ready to meet you.

Where to, sir?

Kohima Tours and Travels' office.

You're the only one who knew
where Ansari was headed, you as*h*le.

Sir!

And the only person who knew
I was meeting Reuben was you!

Sir.

Forgive me.

f*ck!

Tell me.

Tell me!

I only gave him Rose's location, sir.

I had no idea he would k*ll ACP Ansari.

Who?

Who did you give it to?

as*h*le.

f*ck you!

Speak up, you b*stard!

It was Daniel, sir.

Thom's security officer.

I rent cars from Kohima Tours and Travels
for my clients.

The company belongs to Daniel.

He told me that if I could
bring him information on Rose and Reuben,

he could get my case pardoned.

f*ck.

He knows some important people.

I didn't do it for money.
I just wanted to go home.

I just wanted to go home.

Please come in, ma'am.

Don't worry. It's the right room.

You should know,
that cops are allowed everywhere.

How could you--

"Come inside my room at this hour,

that too without a lady constable?"

That's what you wanted to ask, right?

There you go. The lady constable.

Anything else?

- Come and sit.
- Get going.

Sit down.

So, the thing is,

you gave us a statement

that on the night of Thom's m*rder,

you were knocking boots with Daniel.

- Correct?
- He was with me.

In my room.

Then why won't he just say that?

He's protecting me, sir.

Why do I get the feeling that

you are taking both your husband
and us for a ride?

Sir, I've already told you everything.

Alright, then.

Let's tell this to your husband as well.

That's his number, right?

How's it?

Ma'am, you are an artist!

Just drive.

Artist, it seems!

Hello?

Ma'am, the office of Kohima Tours
and Travels is closed.

But we've found out
the owner's home address.

I've messaged it to you.
It's near Razhü Point.

Okay, good.

Ma'am, can I go check it tomorrow morning?

Actually, the whole family
is getting together for dinner.

Yes, of course. No problem.

And, Isaac,
wish everyone a Merry Christmas.

Okay, ma'am.

Thanks.

Merry Christmas to you, too.

- Take me to Razhü Point.
- Yes, ma'am.

Yes, sir?

You guessed it right, Chaudhary.

The nurse had lied to us.

She was with Daniel that night,

but Daniel received a call around 12 a.m.
and left right after.

Did she say who the caller was?

I don't think she knows.

But she insists that Daniel
couldn't have k*lled Thom.

The things that love makes you believe!

She was rambling some strange story.

She said Daniel was from a place
called Long Fong.

Apparently, the people

there are very loyal
to their tribal leader.

Langchoma?

Did she say Daniel
was from Langchoma?

All three have the same tattoo
on their arms.

It could be a date,

possibly…

December 15, 1997.

These kids are from Langchoma, you see.

He lost his entire clan.

He will find you a new father.

If not, He'll become one for you.

"Behold, children are a heritage
from the Lord,

the fruit of the womb, a reward.

Like arrows in the hand of a warrior

are the children of one's youth.

Blessed is the man
who fills his quiver with them.

He shall not be put to shame

when he speaks
with his enemies in the gate."

Ma'am, it looks like no one is home.

"I will live with them

and walk among them.

And I will be their God,

and they will be my people.

Therefore, come out from them

and be separate,"

says the Lord.

"Touch no unclean thing,

and I will receive you.

And I will be a Father to you,

and you will be my sons and daughters,"

says the Lord Almighty.

Ma'am, the sn*per who k*lled Ansari
and Reuben was Daniel.

Thom's security officer.

He might have worked for Thom,
but his real master is Ken.

The politician, Uncle Ken.

Chaudhary, meet me at Japhü Square
in half an hour.

Alright, ma'am.

And Chaudhary, Merry Christmas!

That's my son.

He's only six.

Would you like to take this call…

and wish him a Merry Christmas?

You know…

you won't get away with it.
