01x03 - Memorial

Post by bunniefuu »

Wow! You can see
the whole airport from here.

You're building a new bungalow
in Chhatarpur, aren't you?

That'll be visible from here too.

But the FSI was for eight floors, right?

This is the tenth, isn't it,
and one above too?

How can the MCD clear this, sir.

We'll have to find some sort of solution.

It can be done.
You just have to give us the nod.

Manoj Dhawan!

Stop! Stop!

Hey! Where does Veer Singh live?

- Who?
- The one from Vidyut Board?

Last building.

- Come on!
- 2nd floor.

Hey, I didn't do anything!

- Call the lawyer.
- Arora, just come quietly!

Holding on to the railings won't help you.

Stop! Please don't take him with you.

We'll tell you what you did.

Come on!

- Behave yourself.
- Let's go!

Don't you touch me.
I'll have you off the force.

Come to the station! Shut up, Arora!

Sir, as you can see, this is phase one.

So this can fufill the demands

of Delhi's middle class
and Upper middle class families.

Sir, you should leave the building. Now!

Excuse me, can I help you?

Sushil Ansal? Come with us.

We have a warrant for you?
Where is your brother?

So far, 12 arrests have been made.

Sushil Ansal is one of them.

The charges against them are non-bailable,

so no one's getting out soon.

And we hope they'll locate Gopal soon too.

- Well done.
- We did it.

You see, these arrests
are just the start of our battle.

We still have much work to do.

One thing is clear, though,
that all are equal in the eyes of the law.

I will have more updates for you
in our next meeting,

on the 13th.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Tulsi.

And now,
before we discuss the memorial service,

I would like to call upon
our member of the week, Pankaj.

I'll see you next month.

Mr. Tulsi! Just a minute.

Mr. Tulsi?

What about Gopal Ansal?

The warrant is already out.
It's only a matter of time.

So... we just wait?

No, Neelam.

Get back to your life.

I never thought...

I want that this association
give their all,

so that wherever they are,
watching us from above,

they may know that
we shall never forget them.

Mr. Ujjwal?

Mr. Ujjwal?

- Yes.
- Happy birthday, sir.

Oh, God! No need now, take it back.

- Sir, you can't cancel it now.
- I forgot, man!

- Who is it?
- The laundryman!

Tell him to wait.

You keep it.

Sir, it's policy, I can't take it back.

Fine. Get lost. Go!

Why is he here so early today?

He's still there, right?

- Shekhar!
- Yes?

I'm coming. Does he have change for 100?

Where's the laundryman?

He'll be back.

Get him to look at those FIR's.

Do whatever it takes!

Yes, sir. I'll update you
on our appeal in an hour.

We've reached out to the ministry as well.

Leave.

What sort of a moron
have you deputed the work to?

Yes, sir. Yes, of course.

You guys just want more and more money.

Don't you worry, he's our own man.

You must get the work done
withing the time-frame. Got it?

100% it will be done, sir. Okay, sir.

You had one job.

Do I have to tell you, idiot,
that Tihar is not some five-star hotel?

London is not happy.

No victim's association, no motivation.

No motivation, no case.

Is that simple enough
for you to understand?

Our friends in London are furious.

Even after taking money
they're joining the association?

Choose any one of them. Set an example.

Not the Krishnamoorthys, I'll handle that.

One less thing for you to f*ck up.

I'll take your leave.

Aditya? Aditya!

Hurry up, son, or we'll be late again.

Aditya! Gave kisses to your grandpa
and grandma?

- Yes.
- Where's your tie?

- Inside.
- Where's your tie? Show it to me.

Wait, Aditya. Wait, Aditya...
Aditya, your project!

Move, move, come on.

- Mrs. Goswami!
- Yes?

Principal ma'am wants to meet you.

Careful, children, careful.

We've paid the fees on time,
the child hasn't misbehaved,

so what's the problem?

I'm sorry.

You can't suspend my child for no reason!
Excuse me! Ma'am!

Come.

Neelu, are you done yet?

All yours.

The Ansal Properties have refused to issue

a statement on the charges made against
Gopal and Sushil Ansal in the Uphar case.

The charges framed against them
are non-bailable

and Sushil Ansal
has been taken into custody.

Sources tell us that his brother,
Gopal Ansal is in London right now,

and it is also believed
that he is applying to seek refuge...

Change your clothes.

Yes.

What are you doing at home?
Are you okay?

I got fired.

We're being punished, Ajay.

No one's being punished.
Please, stop thinking like this.

First Aditya... and now you.
And for no reason, too.

- They said they're downsizing.
- Downsizing?

Don't worry, we'll do something.
We'll fix this.

I'll call the school
and find out what happened.

What is this?

What?

This.

I have no idea.
Someone dropped it off in this morning.

Some dry fruits importer.

He said you'd know.

Yes?

Listen, I told you before.

Stop harassing us again and again.

My husband knows
how to handle th*gs like you.

Namaste, Suri sir.

Yes, I'm sure he knows.

Leave us alone.

Your money is still lying here,
I haven't touched a rupee.

Take it back, I don't want it.
All this you're...

But it was you who made the deal.

For your child, for his future.

- Because you said it was an accident.
- Video game.

And it was my fault that I believed you.

Madam, listen carefully.

You listen.
Take your money back and stop hounding us.

Complete your homework. Go on!

And now stop harassing us.

See here, madam, you don't understand.

Listen to me carefully.

- Do you know who I work for?
- Yes!

You made a big mistake
joining that association.

Despite all that was done for you...

Mrs. Krishnamoorthy has several friends
in the press circle.

If I tell them what all you've done...

You will be making a grave mistake.

Listen to me, there's still time.

Things can still be sorted.
Do you understand what I'm saying?

Go to hell! Those b*stards,
they got what they deserved.

Hope they rot in hell!

Madam, you...

Come on, get ready now, okay.

Please don't take too long.

And wear something nice.
Don't wear that old shirt.

So, it affects the entire world market.

Cashews, dates, almonds...

Almonds.

There's apricot, there's cranberry,

I mean, there's huge demand in the metros.

Actually, Niraj has
lots of clients abroad.

And he has been
to London also now, isn't it?

Quite a few people are interested
in buying our house.

I just wanted to make sure
that we sell it to the right person.

It is my father's first house.

Of course, we understand sentimentality.

Not now.

I'll call you back.

- Is it done?
- Later.

It's a business, so calls...

This is so stupid.

Do one thing. Pay the deposit.

You'll get a refund,
if I decide otherwise.

Don't take any tension, I've brought cash.

Check.

- Look, with cash, you...
- Check.

We'll give check.

Check.

He didn't like the look of me.

You'll give him a check, won't you?

- Niraj!
- Yes, I will, man!

I just got the car washed.

Maybe the crow didn't like the look of it.

Yes?

Don't you ever hang up on me,
even by mistake.

Is it done?

Come to the office right now.
And you'd better bring good news. Got it?

I'm on it. I told you I'm handling it.

f*ck!

Hello, there.
You've reached the Krishnamoorthys.

We are currently not at home.

You can leave your name
and message after the beep. Thank you.

Madhav speaking.

Been ages since we spoke,
so I thought I'd call.

Devaki was saying, if you're in the mood
this weekend, shall we do lunch?

Mutton curry is the plan.
I know today must be difficult.

There's too much salt.

Neelu, I think we...

Hello.

Why?

I see. How?

You won't believe who that was.

Thank you so much for seeing me again,
Mr. and Mrs. Krishnamoorthy.

After our last meeting,
I started thinking...

As I've told you before, our firm also
does business with the Ansals.

Now, while I can't speak for them,

I have it on very good authority
that they are quite distraught

over the tragic events
of the past few weeks.

Really?

Yes, absolutely.

Well, at least they are
distraught in jail.

I believe that what you have achieved,
this association you've formed,

can't be appreciated enough.

And I would imagine the Ansals, too,
would like to support you in this.

Then Gopal should be in jail as well.

But what will that accomplish,
Mrs. Krishnamoorthy?

Will the victims' families
benefit in any way?

Or in future,
in case there's a similar tragedy,

will the victims get anything?

I think we can find much better use
for the Ansals' considerable resources.

Go on.

I propose that a state-of-the-art
trauma center be built in Delhi.

Whose entire cost the Ansals will bear.

And this center be dedicated
to the Uphaar victims.

Or to your children, Unnati and Ujjwal.

Mr. and Mrs. Krishnamoorthy,
I can't even imagine your pain.

But I would have to believe
that you would do anything

to spare other parents
this kind of trauma and suffering.

The Ansals want the same thing.

Think of it.
The Uphaar Memorial Medical Center.

No, man...

Unless I say so don't do a thing.

Send this across to the Ministry.

Tell our friend if it wasn't important
I wouldn't have asked.

- I want to read it before you send it.
- Spoke to Krishnamoorthy?

- Did you speak to Krishnamoorthy?
- You give your update!

Because the association is
still quite active.

I'm on it, aren't I?

London won't stand much longer,
and I won't take the blame. Fix it.

- I already told...
- Fix it.

And remember who's your boss!

Idiot. Now get out,
I have actual work to do here.

And yes,

if it gets done then call,
don't come here.

You make my clients nervous.

I can't believe
you were even considering the offer.

You're not alone
in this association, okay?

We have an obligation
to discuss it with everyone.

They were offering us a bribe.

What do you think, I don't understand?
I'm stupid?

Of course I wasn't considering it.

I don't think you care.

Fine. So what do I do?

Obsess over this day and night?

So that when I think of my children,
all I see is these assholes' faces,

only then will it prove that I care?

You could at least do it
until they are punished, huh?

Or am I asking too much from you?

- I can't live like this.
- Fine. Take the deal.

I cannot live this way!

Take money from those
who k*lled our children.

Maybe you'll find your peace then.
Very good.

Then sit back humming tunes
on your dead son's birthday.

Just take me home.

Mom.

Sanjay is throwing
a theme party for his birthday.

Got to get a gift for Sanjay too.

What is it? Didn't you like it? Try some.

What is this thing?

That place in Vasant Vihar with a joker,
the sandwich place, I got it from there.

Everyone's raving about it.

- What is it?
- It's a burger.

Want a slap? Go inside.

No, I'll go and play.

Cut these vegetables for evening.

What's wrong?

Look, whatever's been going on at work,
it's not your fault.

All that I had given up
I'm doing it again.

And these people have
already been through a lot.

Don't you see how far we've reached?

How else would all this be possible?

I don't want to hear any of this again.

Stop whining,
and do what needs to be done.

Focus only on the future.

- Mom, when are we moving to our new place?
- Don't get excited.

You haven't taken me there yet.
I can now call my friends there, right?

Okay, put these for a wash.

Yes, sir?

In a statement today via representatives,

the Ansal brothers condemned
the charges against them

and promised to do
everything in their power

to ensure that justice prevails.

The brothers, ranked amongst
India's most powerful industrialists,

currently await trial under
non-bailable criminal charges

of negligence
and involuntary manslaughter.

In other news,
the International Monetary Fund...

That's why I told you to leave early.

Who knew we'd run
into this much traffic here?

Listen... Bringing him along...
That Neelam and Shekhar...

After what happened,
I'm never going to leave him alone.

We've got
the memorial service permits, finally.

Mr. and Mrs. Goswami are working on it.

They should here shortly.

Neelam isn't here?

She's not well.

I'm starting to think
Mr. Tulsi isn't well either.

Close the windows!

What are you doing? Help! Help!

Get out of the car!

Get out of the car!

- Help me!
- Watch out!

- Help!
- Help!

What's the point of this meeting?

How was everyone's week?

Nonsense.

Yes, tell us?

It was hard.

Whenever you turn the TV on,
it's Border this, Border that.

It's all over the radio as well.

The other day I went to see the dentist.
Soon as he started the drill,

he started humming "Sandese Aate Hai."

I'm sorry.

What's going on? You look rather upbeat.

The case has been transferred to the CBI.

There must be pressure from above.

We must be cautious,
but I believe this is a very good thing.

Why're you calling so late?

Have you gone mad?

I told you to?

f*ck, what did I say? Did you forget?

You weren't supposed to hurt anyone.

I asked you to threaten them.
Does threatening mean assaulting?

Did I tell you to?

I'll tell you.

m*therf*cker! You won't be here tomorrow.

Niraj, what happened?

What happened? Was it about the flat?

- Was it about the flat?
- No, no.

- You didn't deposit the check, did you?
- I'll do it.

- Today was the last day to do that.
- I will.

What do you mean you will?
How many times do I...

I said, I'll do it!

The case has been transferred to the CBI.

Not today, Shekhar.

I'm sorry.

You don't have to be.

I do.

Terrible, isn't it?

It was his favorite.

Hello.

Why have you come here?
Please leave. Please leave.

I need to speak with you...

Ajay, you go inside.
Let me talk to him. Please.

Look, we'll give you whatever you want.
Just leave us, please. Leave us alone.

I've just come to say that you...

Listen, please don't hurt him.
It's my fault, I was wrong.

I spoke to you. Don't hurt him.

- No, I'm at fault.
- No, it's my fault.

Look, I never wanted this to happen.
I'm just telling you...

No, don't hurt him, please!
Please, Ajay go inside, please.

You're mistaken,
I didn't want this either.

Please leave. We'll do as you wish.

- But now just leave!
- Madam...

Leave, please.

- Madam, please.
- Leave.

Madam...

Do you consider us to be fools.
Let us be, please.

Madam, you are mistaken.

Madam, at least hear me out.
I'm not as bad as you think.

Sir, please. I've come to apologize.

Sir, I came to apologize.

You have misunderstood,
I'm not a bad person.

- Not now!
- Go! Go!

Madam, don't do that.

Please go away.

Please spare us, we made a mistake.

Hey!

Whose car is this?

Hello!

Whose car is this?

Whose car is this?

You think you can f*ck with me?

Think I'm an a*s? I'll show you now.

Whose car...

Whose car is this?

- Hey! What are you doing?
- Whose car is it?

Your car?

What are you doing?

Your car, as*h*le?

Now I'll show you, as*h*le,
I'll show you all! as*h*le...

What are you doing?

How dare you hit my car!

Thank you all for being here.

We've gathered here today to celebrate

the precious and innocent lives
of those we lost

on 13th June, 1997,

in the Uphaar fire tragedy.

Husbands, wives,

fathers, mothers, kids.

As we pay our respects to them,

we pray that we may stand up
and face the times to come.

Till justice rolls like water,

and righteousness like a mighty stream.

Shubha ma'am.

Don't repeat "plaintiff" so many times,
once is enough.

Sir, you had asked to be
updated on the Uphaar case.

Yeah.

All the charges have been reduced?

Yes, sir.

And there's no explanation from the CBI.

All right. Thank you.

Welcome back, sir.

Welcome back.

Welcome back, sir.

Hey, hold it. Take it straight.
