02x01 - The Dance of Death

[bunniefuu]

Grandpa, who is he?

He is an 'Asur''.
- An 'Asur''? Which 'Asur''?

Kali.

What's your name?
- Nikhil Nair, sir.

Nice to meet you, Nikhil Nair.

You need a deep medical knowledge
to execute a plan like this.

It's a bloody set up!
- It could be yours, too.

I checked DJ's phone. It's clean.

Have you lost it?
What are you saying?

DJ k*lled his own wife?

I'm only stating the facts.

This is just the beginning.

Where is my husband?
- He's missing.

A man can do anything to
protect his religion and family.

What will you protect? Your family

or my religion?
- I'll do anything you say.

The method of k*lling and the crime
scene management are meticulous.

One thing is common
between all the victims.

They were good people.

I can't figure out why
he's k*lling good people.

Who are you?
- Kali.

Kalki will be born
in this eon to k*ll Kalki.

He's challenging Kalki to take birth.

The end is the beginning.

To cause pain is the job of God.

I only bring salvation.

I've studied this guy.
He's well-planed and well-timed.

He has researched everything.

When the 'Kali Yuga' reaches its peak,
good people will become corrupt

and k*ll each other.

Why do you suspect Kesar?

This is Shubh.
- Where are the hostages?

Repent for your sins
and save those people.

I had fabricated proof
against him ten years ago.

Because he m*rder*d
his father in cold blood.

Fake witness. Fake birth certificate.
It's a crime, sir.

Maybe you'll understand one day.
- Maybe.

Make your decision
in the next one minute.

'Riya or this?'
- Riya.

Amen.

You will be responsible for
what's about to happen next.

*** b*stard!

You ***, even as a kid,
you were a ***.

You're still a ***...

'We have caught Shubh Joshi,
the serial k*lling mastermind.'

'Dhananjay Rajpoot will remain suspended
until the end of the inquiry.'

After the w*r in the Mahabharata,

Dwarka had got submerged in the sea.

Arjuna was going to Hastinapur
with the survivors.

They set up tents
on their way there to rest.

The local robbers of the place saw

that Arjuna was taking all
the citizens with him by himself.

The robbers got greedy

and attacked Arjuna.

What happened then?

Arjuna tried to think of his divine
weapons to fight the robbers.

But he had lost his power
to remember anything.

He had also run out of arrows.

The robbers looted a lot of wealth

and kidnapped several
women and escaped.

But Arjuna was a great warrior.

Arjuna was left
restless by this incident.

He told Sage Vedavyasa
about his problem.

Vedavyasa told him

that the job for which
Arjuna had been given

the divine weapons had been done.

It was time for him to leave
the Earth and go to heaven.

That is why the Pandavas
began their ascent to heaven.

When a person has done
his duty and reached his goal,

his body and identity
become useless.

We were supposed to be
together only until here.

From here on, you begin

your journey to eternity.

We had no use for Jagdish

for the great deed
we aim to commit.

But the two of you are needed.

The great w*r is near.

It is time to take
the 'Kali Yuga' to its peak.

Free Mr. Kesar!

Free Kesar!

Free him! Free him!

Nationwide protests
erupt across the country

as the court hears Kesar's
bail plea today. - Free Mr. Kesar!

Let's see if they
pass or fail this test.

The government is k*lling free
speech and philosophical ideology!

He's challenging the stupid
notions of good and evil.

But, sir, you are
unable to prove that.

The CBI is under you.

The CBI can't do as it pleases!
Mr. Kesar is innocent!

Free Mr. Kesar!
- If Kesar walks out today,

Tell me.

Why should I grant you a 15-day

additional judicial custody
of Kesar Bharadwaj?

In the past two months,

you could present no solid
proof against the accused.

My Lord, this is a complex case.

We need more time.

Kesar Bharadwaj alias Shubh Joshi
was involved in kidnapping

and attempted m*rder of
three prominent personalities

and numerous other serial killings.

M'Lord,

their case is based on
the testimony of a tainted officer.

Mr. Dhananjay Rajpoot.

He has himself been booked under
the charges of m*rder and perjury.

Despite multiple requests,

the prosecution hasn't presented
Mr. Rajpoot for cross-examination.

Sir, he is unwell.

He couldn't be in the court
today because of health reasons.

Yet another lie.

The court gave you
an ultimatum of seven days

in the last session to
present Mr. Dhananjay Rajpoot.

You have still failed to
produce him in the court.

You are forcing me to grant bail.

Sir,

this man is very
powerful and influential.

After getting released, he can

influence the witness
and the evidence, sir.

Seven days.

Seven days is all you get.

At the next hearing,

or fails to present Dhananjay Rajpoot,

then I'll grant Kesar Bharadwaj
the bail.

I won't let you

get out of jail come what may.

I'm right where I was supposed to be.

Stop worrying about me and
worry about the future instead.

The apocalypse is about to begin.

The change of an era is not far.

And even your God
can't save you this time.

Let it go.

Not like that.

The sorrow

which you've kept bottled up within.

Unless you let go of the sorrow,

how can it let go of you?

You talk so maturely
at such a young age.

Forgive the person who has

given you sorrow.

I'm the reason for my sorrow.

And I can never forgive myself.

A person or an emotion

can only trouble us when we

give them the power to trouble us.

Take the burden of
the past off your mind.

Where is Nikhil?

Naina! Hi!

Nikhil hasn't been to the office
since two days.

Is everything alright?
- No, Nusrat.

Nothing is alright.

He won't reply to my messages.

He won't answer my calls.

And he's missed the last
three counselling sessions.

I'm so sorry to hear this, but

if I get to speak to him...
- If you could

speak to him, Nusrat...

Just tell him to sign
the divorce papers.

Nai...

Now, the number one choice of
the public for the bravery award.

The brave man who
sacrificed his daughter's life

We're talking about
CBI forensic expert,

Dr. Nikhil Nair.

the true meanings of patriotism

and responsibility.

When he was posthumously awarded

Good morning!

Oh! Morning.

Sorry, Ben. I know that
the Ministry's waiting for updates.

There are some debugging issues
that I need to take care of and...

Just give me a couple of more days.

Naina, don't worry.

We have two weeks.

Oh! That's good.

There are some issues
with the integration

of the facial recognition
tech on the portal.

We have to tweak the algorithms.

So, take the break.

Ben, I'm okay.

And honestly, work is
the only thing that's

keeping me sane right now.

Naina.
- Hmm?

You can tell me.

What's driving you insane?

Life.

Why is Coco being a bad person?

Maybe Coco is having
a really bad day.

But he told you that, right?

That means Coco
loves you very much.

Love you very very much.

Nikhil!

Nikhil, open the door!

Nikhil, can you hear me?

Nikhil, open the door!

Nikhil!

Nikhil, can you hear me?

Stop worrying about me and
worry about the future instead.

The apocalypse is about to begin.

And even your God
can't save you this time.

Morning, sir.

Ishani Chaudhary.
- Yes, sir.

Come.

Welcome to the team.
- Thank you, sir.

You know everyone in the team.
- Yes, sir.

How do you wish
to approach this case?

All the roads are closed, sir.

Kesar won't tell us anything.

Shubh's accomplice, Moksh, is dead.

We have only one lead left.

Riya's k*ller, Swati.

We have no clue where she is.

Sir, the problem is that

Swati hasn't seen or
met anyone except Naina.

And Naina...

You know about her.
- Ishani,

be patient with Naina.

She is emotionally hurt.

I understand, sir.

But we also need to solve the case.

Okay.

There's one more thing, sir.

Lolark's death...

Sir, I don't believe the report.

Are you sure?

Lolark was your mentor.

Your personal emotions...

Sir, I suspect someone.

Whom?

Rasool Shaikh.

Rasool?

Sir, I know you must think
that I am being reckless.

But there's a reason for that, sir.

Each proof matches
with his statement.

Lolark always said that if
you got all the proof easily,

it meant that

the web of lies was
woven with a lot of care.

Rasool's polygraph test...

It is perfect.

That's the problem, sir.

It's way too perfect.

Sir, I need Rasool
under surveillance 24/7.

I

respect your instinct, Ishani.

But your doubt isn't
all that it takes.

Rasool is one of us.

I hope you understand.

Sir, I can understand. But...

Ishani, focus on Naina.

Okay?

Yes, sir.

I am exhausted, Nusrat.

I'm tired.

I can't do this any more.

I've been defeated
and I have to accept that.

No.

Nikhil.

You haven't been defeated.

What you did

wasn't easy.

Who could do such a thing?
- Exactly.

No one could do it.

What father

in the whole world would

do this to his daughter...

Everywhere I look...

I see Riya everywhere, Nusrat.

Every place I look.

Our loved-ones

always stay with us.

Maybe that's why you can see Riya.

Nikhil, maybe she wants to tell
you that your pain has a purpose.

Coordinates.

Open it.
- Hey, open it.

The rascal pranked us, ma'am.

There is nothing here.

He wouldn't prank us.
He doesn't break his pattern.

We'll find the body somewhere here.

Are you the supervisor?

Yes, sir.

Did something unusual happen
here in the past few days?

Unusual...

No, sir. Nothing of
the sort has happened.

Everything is normal here.

In fact, we loaded the new
stock this morning.

Where's that stock?

Back in the cold storage.

Is everything ready for tonight?

Stage Two is on track.

We'll be able to hack all
the networks in two hours.

Our team will delete all the traces
of the simultaneous attack.

Today at nine...

Learn network infrastructure.

I want their network infrastructure to fall like
A pack of cards the moment the clock strikes 9 pm.

Where were you, Nusrat?
Do you know who's here?

Who is here?
- Aunt!

Tia!

How are you?
- I'm fine.

Where are your parents?

Dad didn't come.
Only mom and I are here.

How are you?

Alright.

Didn't Imran come with you?

No. He had some urgent
business to take care of. So...

Is everything okay?
- Forget it.

Let's not talk about that.

Catch your breath first.

Shama, make her understand.
I am fed up.

She works 24 hours a day.

Get married before I die.
- Mom, don't say that.

I have to go back.

Oh! You just got home
and you're leaving again!

I have to go. It's urgent.

Goodbye.
- But...

Whether you ask me this
question once or 1000 times,

My answers will remain the same.

I know nothing else about Swati.

Tell me something.

You used to put your daughter
under that woman's care.

Did you not even
check her background

or take her picture?

No.

Anything else?

Can I go now?

Naina.

Naina.

Hmm.

Naina, Ishani is just doing her job.

Why are you involving
our differences...

This has nothing to
do with you, Nikhil.

I've said what I had to.

Nothing more to say.

As far as Swati is concerned,

I believe in karma.

She will be punished for what she did.

Naina, we're doing this for Riya.

Don't involve Riya in this.

She was my daughter, too.
- Was.

Riya was, Nikhil.

All thanks to you.

Just sign the papers.

Please.

Our past is like our shadow.

We can't get rid
of it no matter what.

I left everything to come here.

I thought I'd find some peace.

Do you know why you can't find peace?

Because you haven't
let go of everything.

You've just postponed it.

Don't run away from your shadow.

Embrace it.

In order to reject something,

it is necessary to accept it.

Your wounds will only heal

when you accept them.

Primary observation of unidentified
male victim in his 30s.

No bleeding in the cornea.

An incision on the abdomen.

No conclusive fatal injuries.

And body found frozen in an ice-slab.

This is definitely not
the job of a surgeon.

The stitches are still fresh.

Ajo! Ajo!

This is for you.

Who gave this?
- It was on the steps.

Happy anniversary, Dhananjay Rajpoot!

You will receive your gift by tonight.

What the hell!

Unbelievable.

The date is the 12th. That's today.

9:05.

What is this? A countdown?

He's going to do something tonight.

What?

Only one man can tell us.

Did you find the watch?

So, now you know your time is up.

What is Shubh going to do at 9:05?

Magic.

Magic is often an optical illusion.

But this magic will open your eyes.

Stop the preaching

and answer his question.

What is his plan?

God doesn't make plans.

He designs the future.

There are stages to every great w*r.

Have some patience.

You will automatically get
the answers to all your questions.

And that is when you'll realize that
you're unimportant in this great w*r.

Even if you find some
information about the watch,

you'll be able to do nothing.

Because God has already
created the future.

Kesar, I don't understand this.

How could an educated man like you

come to trust a maniac like Shubh?

Do you still think

that it was a coincidence
that you were

Yes?

Every step that you take,

your actions and reactions
and even your thoughts

are under His control.

He had already predicted

that you'd come and see me here.

But, yes,

He hadn't predicted one thing.

That you would
sacrifice your daughter.

That was a pleasant surprise.

I think you want freedom.

That's why you let your daughter die.

And see? It worked.

You lost your daughter
and you lost your wife.

Riya found salvation
but you found freedom.

Sir!

Sir! Sir, what are you doing?

Sir!

Sir, get back! What are you doing?

This anger of yours,

this outburst,

Will make you blind.

That's why you can't see

what's right in front of you.

'Rudraksha'?

He has always shown you the way,

but you refuse to see it.

What do these prayer beads mean?

Looking at the pain the 'Asuras'
were in as they lay dying,

His tears turned into seeds.

They came to be known
as the 'rudraksha'.

The great w*r has begun, Nikhil Nair.

The world as you know it
is about to change.

And you'll be able to do
nothing about it this time.

Nothing.

We have the autopsy report.
- Sir!

'Rudraksha'?

What secret do these hold?

Sir, Shubh had once told me
the story of the 'rudraksha'.

The 'Asuras' had built three
cities at the dawn of time

which couldn't be
destroyed individually.

At the end of that story, Lord Shiva

destroyed all the three cities
together with just one arrow.

One arrow

and three cities.

That is exactly what
Shubh is going to do.

Shubh is going to launch three
simultaneous attacks today.

Three attacks at one time!

Tonight at 9:05 p.m.
- What!

How will know what
are the three locations?

How are we going to do it?

Let me inform the...
- Just a second!

Shubh is using this
victim's body as a puzzle.

We found these clues from the body.

So, we'll find more clues
from the victim's body.

Do you have the victim's blood report?

Strychnine.

Strychnine. Strychnine.

***! That's the test case!

What?

I'll explain later. We need
the victim's dental X-ray.

Chi Chi, there is someone
outside to see you.

How are you, Naina?
- I found Swati.

Chi Chi, I found Swati!

There.

I'm sorry, Naina, but

I can't help you.

You can't

help me

or do you not want to?

You can think whatever you like.

When did you become so selfish, DJ?

And...

And do you think

everything would be
okay if you stayed here?

Naina, I don't want
to make anything okay.

I'm done.

You're done!

You're done?

I'd been looking all
over for you like crazy.

After ruining everything,
you say you're done!

You're hiding here!

You're a...You're a coward!

Such a coward!

I didn't ask you to come and find me.

And your problem

is not my concern, Naina.

I lost everything!

I lost everything because of you!

My...My life...

My daughter...

Everything!
- Because of me?

You lost everything because of me?

I was accused of k*lling my own wife

and thrown in jail!

Sandhya! Lolark! My career!

I've lost everything.

And Nikhil is responsible
for your daughter's death.

I'm not!

He could have saved
her if he wanted to.

Why didn't he save her?

You were right there.
Why didn't you stop him?

You and him are responsible
for Riya's death. I'm not!

I'm not a coward, Naina.

And I'm not hiding here.

I just don't want to be responsible
for someone else's death.

Please leave me alone.

Please.

Three fresh implants.

There is strychnine
in the victim's body.

It's a rare problem.
It's a paralyzing agent.

We had a test case
during our training.

The k*ller had administered this
poison through dental implants.

Shubh is pointing towards that.

He kidnapped the victim
and installed the dental implants.

Then, he k*lled the victim
with this paralyzing agent.

The locations of the attacks
is in these implants.

Three locations. Three implants.

Guys, we found fresh
coordinates in every implant.

The first location is
Rhythm Mall, Mumbai.

The second location is
Swell Health Hospital, Delhi.

The third one is a residential
location in Bengaluru. Koramangala.

Ankit, inform the teams.

Go upstairs. You go and check there.

Officer, what is this?

Sir, we've received a tip that
your family could be in danger.

We'll check the whole
house and seal it.

There must be a lot of crowd
at the mall and the hospital.

How will we know who his target is?

We'll find out. Rasool.

Check the list to see if there's
anyone near these locations.

I'm confused.

We share no enmity with anyone.

As of now, we are just
trying to keep you safe.

Sir!
- Yes?

Shubh's age progression
is almost done.

The k*ller has sent us this link.
According to him,

This is an open challenge for

the government,
the CBI and the police.

The question is, will the authorities

be able to stop
this 'Asura' this time?

Rasool, I want the locations
of all the people belonging

to the 'Dhanishta Nakshatra'
near the hospital.

Sir, there are
3000 people on the list.

It will take time to collect their
GPS data and pinpoint their locations.

Rasool, we don't have time.

Alright, guys!

When we get green signal...

So, let's build it up.

Execute.

What's happening, guys?

Don't be surprised to see me.

I am your truth.

I am here to free you of
the darkness those morals

which keep your life
devoid of all joys.

You think God exists

and He will protect you.

But in the 'Kali Yuga',

the strings of life and death
are in the hands of Kali.

And you shall come face to face
with this fact today.

After exactly three minutes,
I will k*ll three people.

Good people who believe in God.

Neither man nor God will be able to
stop these people from dying today.

You have faith in your legal system
and the security it provides.

You have made heroes out of cowards.

They are right at those places.

But they will also helplessly watch

the destiny written by Kali unfold.

I don't want you to have
any doubts about Kali's power.

So, let me introduce you to
those three lucky people.

Here are those people
who are going to die today.

Three minutes.

After three minutes,
they shall meet their deaths.

Yes, sir?
- Rasool, I need names.

Yes, sir. I'm still processing them.

***, man!

Pray to your God.

Ask the God you believe in

to come and save these people.

Do you see this?

These people are inching towards
their deaths with each passing moment.

Your heroes

and your Gods are helpless.

For God three minutes are the same as three eons.

Although He is watching
the live telecast of

the deaths of
His devotees, He is silent.

After you're done with your
useless and pointless prayers,

Nothing, I'm... - Is there anything
that happened that was unusual?

There is only one God in this eon.

'Kali.'

'He can k*ll anyone at any time.'
- Did anything unusual happen?

'The time is up.'

'I give them the boon of death.'

Grandpa!

Doctor!

Doctor! Hey!

'Did you see that?'

'No God appeared to save their lives.'

'Remember this helplessness
of your heroes.'

'They have accepted
their incapability.'

'How can your heroes
save you when they'

'couldn't even save
their own families?'

'The fact remains'

'Anybody who walks
on the path of morality'

'shall have to depart on
the path of death in this manner.'

'No one is capable of stopping Kali.'

'To be hopeful would be pointless.'

'Change your God.'

'Accept the darkness.'

'The decision is yours to make.'

'Life'

'or death.'

'Only Kali is eternal.'

'Kali is the final truth of this eon.'
