01x01 - Sarju, The Beginning

[bunniefuu]

It is estimated that there are

more than 100 tribes in the world,

who have abstained from making

contact with the outside world

or have violently rejected it.

With increasing

ill*gal deforestation,

ill*gal hunting and mining,

these tribes are now facing

the very real danger of extinction.

Settled somewhere in Central India,

Dhegohaati is one such tribe.

Sarju is a warrior of this tribe.

Sarju, I have a job for you.

Who needs to be k*lled?

Someone a soldier.

Where do I k*ll him?

In Romania.

Where?

In Romania, idiot.

It's a foreign country. Abroad.

-When?

-The day after tomorrow.

Okay.

There's a function happening.

I have sent you the address.

He will be there.

With full security.

The colonel will be in the second car.

Have a look at his photo.

But there's a problem.

You will have only 12 seconds.

And the colonel will be

surrounded by many people.

Got it?

He should not get away.

Another k*lling by

the mysterious bow-and-arrow man.

This marks his seventh k*lling,

making him the most wanted--

Have you ever observed a coin flip?

It changes sides

many times in a second.

This boy is one such coin.

There used to be a time

when one could differentiate

between the two sides

of wrong and right.

But now

that other facet of

this coin has disappeared.

I had caught him three years ago.

I was the head

of the Special Crimes cell,

dealing in contract killings.

I was ashamed of myself then

for catching this boy.

Today I'm ashamed of the fact

that, despite having caught him

I didn't k*ll him.

Name?

Name?

-Setu Lam.

-Lie.

Sarju.

Do you know him?

No.

Then why did you k*ll him?

Who is behind these killings?

Who is the mastermind?

Sarju, can't you give me one name?

Who is making you do all this?

Speak!

Take him to Kasotgarh jail.

Only there will the jerk

open his mouth.

Yes, sir.

Brother?

Hey, Tara!

Sarju!

Sarju, no!

Wait!

Come on, Sarju!

Let's see who will

catch a fish first.

Yay!

Kisna dada! Kisna dada!

Kisna dada!

Kisna dada won!

Kisna dada! Kisna dada!

Kisna dada! Kisna dada!

Kisna dada! Kisna dada!

Kisna dada! Kisna dada!

Kisna dada won!

Where is Sarju dada?

Sarju!

Sarju!

Sarju dada!

Sarju dada!

Sarju dada!

Sarju dada! Sarju dada!

Sarju dada! Sarju dada!

Sarju dada! Give it to me!

-No, give it to me!

-No, give it to me!

No, it's mine!

Sarju dada, it's mine!

-Sarju dada!

-Give it to me!

If we aren't hungry,

we must not k*ll.

Sarju dada!

Sarju dada!

Sarju dada!

Sarju dada!

Sarju dada!

Sarju!

Sarju dada!

Brother! Brother!

Brother,

what's happening over there?

Can we go out there?

There's nothing out there. Hmm?

It has nothing to do with us.

Go. Play.

The excavation needs

to be concentrated over there.

-Okay?

-Sir, sir

Look at this stone.

-I'll talk to you guys later.

-Sir.

I've never seen anything

like this before, sir.

Looks like it flowed downstream.

There's mining work

going on behind that hill.

All right, focus on your work.

Yes, sir.

[singing devotional folk song]

Thousands of years ago,

here in the jungle,

our ancestors formed a settlement.

Every single plant

and tree in the forest,

every single animal

and living organism

became their friends and comrades.

The only thing

they were scared of

was the demon living on

the other side of the river.

That demon was hungry and greedy,

bent on destroying nature.

The ancestors prayed profusely

to the gods.

And that is when

the Protector was born.

To protect the ancestors,

the Protector went

to w*r with the demon.

The w*r went on for a full 30 days.

Then on the 31st day,

the Protector

chased the demon away.

So where is the demon now?

Him?

Outside the jungle.

On the far side

of the River Goddess.

He has his own world there.

And we

are safe in the Protector's world.

One whiskey.

Ladies and gentlemen,

today's party is in honour

of the tenth anniversary

-of the Bhatta Group of industries.

-Sir, you should join as well!

Sir, it's your

Please welcome, with a round

of applause Mr. Reuben Bhatta

-and his son, Goldie Bhatta.

-Please come, sir!

I love you, darling.

I love you way too much.

I leave the day after tomorrow.

I'll be there

for your birthday, Kala.

What's wrong with your face?

You look pale.

Possibly Kala deficiency.

Did you talk to Dr. Mitra?

Please, Kala, I'm okay,

all right? Stop

-I'll just call you back.

-Bye.

Yes?

Sir, the engineer is here

with the report.

The stone in this report,

where did we find it?

In Dhegohaat, sir.

It's a jungle area, sir.

Tribal people are settled there.

Son.

There's something on your mind

that's eating you up

from the inside.

I saw them right outside

the village today.

Those people have never come

that close before.

Unless they get inside the village,

there's nothing to worry about.

And if they do,

we have you to defend us, right?

-Bansal?

-Sir?

You see this whole area?

I want all of it.

That's not possible, sir.

This jungle is protected

by the government.

It is a sensitive issue.

We'd be risking the potential

involvement of the PMO.

We'll cross that bridge

when we come to it.

Sir.

We can't go inside, sir.

Inside, sir,

is a Dhegohaati tribe settlement.

They really hate outsiders.

Bansal!

Your job

is to find solutions.

Sir.

I want this whole area.

At any cost.

DHEGOHAAT FORES

Wait here till I come back.

You're learning fast.

Baguna.

How are you, friend?

-All well?

-All well.

These are some things for you.

Don't be scared.

This will light up

your path at night.

Till we have the moon and the stars,

how will any of us lose our way?

They will show us the way.

Baguna,

I'm here to ask your permission.

A few men want to meet you and

talk about something important.

You are our friend.

That's why we won't insult you.

But don't come back to me

with this request again.

We don't want anything to do

with the outside world.

We are happy in ours.

Think about it, Baguna.

They want what's good for you.

Just meet them once.

Throw him out of our jungle!

I'm going, Baguna.

Just think about it,

Baguna, just once

They want to meet you

for your own good--

Out!

Okay, I'm going, I'm going.

I heard you have a special

birthday surprise for me?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You're going to be a queen.

You'll rule the world.

Is that so?

But first tell me

when you are coming back.

I'm waiting for you.

Uh, I'll just call you back.

Why, what's wrong? Tell--

Done.

The reports will come in

by the day after tomorrow.

Please take rest,

and no exertion. Okay?

I shall see you.

If you have something

to say, say it.

Stop f*cking hovering around me.

Why are we still here?

Why aren't we leaving?

This land is keeping us here.

There is something precious in here.

Uranium.

Weapons-grade.

What nuclear bombs are made of.

Do you know its value?

So high that

you could buy out

this whole country.

One country?

Many countries.

This time

I'm going to make

your mother's birthday special.

And you know, Goldie

Goldie! Goldie!

Sir, this is Mahesh.

Works in the Forest Department

over there.

He is assigned to maintain

contact with the Dhegohaatis.

He is tasked with sharing reports

of their goings-on with the Centre.

He went to meet

the natives yesterday.

What's the update?

Sir, they refused.

Said they would k*ll anyone

who dared enter.

Sir, I think setting foot

in their territory entails

locking horns with the Centre.

But what if we don't enter

their territory?

This is the river they get

their drinking water from, right?

Yes, sir.

Come on, Tara!

Last one to the river

turns into a frog!

-Come on!

-Mom, let me go!

No, no. Quiet, child.

-Hey, Tara!

-Where are you going?

Let me go!

No!

Tara, come quick!

-Tara, quick!

-I'm coming!

Puru dada!

Wait!

Quick, empty it all, okay?

Quickly, set it up.

Work faster, come on.

Hello, sir. The work has started.

Tara!

At this time…

Kisna! We need to go

back to the village. Quick!

Tara!

Tara

Tara!

-Move!

-Tara!

Sarju!

Tara

Kisna!

Tara

Tara!

Good. Very good.

What

now, sir?

What is the next step?

Let's bring a twist to the story.

Make it more interesting.

Let's introduce

a heroine in the story.

Say "ah." Like this. Ah

Yes. Good boy.

Dr. Sanghamitra Das?

Yes?
