01x06 - Magic Trick

Post by bunniefuu »

Congratulations!

You are an entrepreneur now.

You told me

Shelly is an arms dealer.

Now you have partnered with him.

What do you want, Shaan?

Hey!

Get BJ's luggage packed.

You need a break from all of us.

Any guesses, Danish?

Who is Indradhanush?

Yes, I am Indradhanush.

Shelly does for us

what we tell him to.

In return, we let him do

what he wants to.

Shelly! Shelly, no

I'm pulling you out. We've heard

about your little romance.

There are three men outside.

They're watching us.

Shaan!

There is a problem.

He has gone rogue, ma'am!

I think he has switched sides.

Do you know anyone

named Lipika Saikia?

No.

Should I?

Good morning, sir.

Thank you.

-What is this?

-A list of our supplies.

Decoded.

And this list

No one else had access to it

other than Jayu and me.

Yet, it reached

the Indian Intelligence.

Who among us is leaking

this information to them?

Jayu wouldn't.

Anyone can deceive

if they have a good enough reason.

I think we should

call off the sale.

Who knows how much

more information they have?

Inviting guests

and then cancelling the party

is not my style.

We go ahead with the sale.

If not Jayu or Mrinal,

then who could it be?

BJ?

He's a childhood friend.

It is easier to backstab

when you're close.

It could be Kaveri.

You can't be serious.

It could also be you.

Is it you, Shaan?

What do you think?

Whoever it is

his days are numbered.

Falcon has landed.

Everyone, be alert.

Copy, sir. Everyone, alert!

-Good morning, sir.

-Morning.

Sir, you were to come tomorrow.

-You landed early. All okay?

-Jaffer

Meet him.

Captain Abhimanyu Mathur.

The new director of Pureways.

This time, we are

dealing on his behalf.

-Hello.

-Hi.

Unlike BJ,

he has w*r stories

and not drunk stories.

Captain, show him

your scars sometime.

Nice to meet you, Captain.

Come.

Also I heard a storm

had struck last night.

-Has the cargo been unloaded?

-It's underway, sir.

-Good.

-Please.

Captain, your phone.

Yours too. Chief's orders.

Chief! Mine as well?

Obviously.

Otherwise, your babysitter

won't let you work.

Come on.

-Who are these people?

-Local transporters.

We use them for petty supplies.

They should be nowhere

around the demo site.

-We expect our buyers tomorrow.

-Copy, sir.

Hey, boys!

Come on, everyone, sharp!

-Mr. Shelly is here.

-Thank you.

Weapons in the open.

Won't it be a problem?

No, it won't be a problem.

It is a satellite-dead zone.

Completely off the radar.

Besides, the buyers are not

coming here to buy vacuum cleaners

that they'd make do with a brochure.

This is Arabia,

and I am the Lawrence of Arabia.

-How are you, Abbas?

-All good.

You guys have decorated

this place well. Lovely!

So

-have you learnt Hindi yet or not?

-Little, little

Looking forward to the new toys?

Yeah. They are bloody impressive.

Especially this one.

This here is

Captain Abhimanyu Mathur.

He's a soldier like all of you.

And he's going to handle

the demo tomorrow.

You had served in

the year 2009, right?

I want you to meet someone.

Patil. Yes.

Jaidev Patil!

I'm still Jaidev Patil. I don't have

the habit of changing names.

You became a mercenary, Patil.

Hey, you did worse.

You became a businessman!

I can vouch for this man here.

He's the bravest, craziest f*ck

I have ever served under.

It will be great fun to work

with you once again, Lieutenant.

Not Lieutenant. Captain.

Captain Abhimanyu Mathur.

Come on, guys.

Let's welcome the captain.

-Hi, Captain

-All right, boys!

Ready to party?

It's a desert. I thought

you might be thirsty.

What's wrong with you?

We are not here to party, idiot.

They need to handle arms tomorrow,

not a hangover.

Get to know your team, Mathur.

I read your report.

If you didn't want to give

any information,

then why submit the report?

But, sir, I have

mentioned everything.

How we engaged GV

-You know, how it all started--

-GV decoded the info.

But where did we get

the info from?

That's the question.

Who is this person? Your agent?

Maybe I have to remind you that

-we are on the same side.

-Oh, are we?

Really?

Well, you focus so much

on your targets

that you don't see

the bigger picture.

Some lives are lost

in every operation.

That's a price

we are willing to pay

because our responsibility

is towards millions of Indians.

I am giving you one last chance.

Give me the name.

You have no idea how big

a mistake you're making--

I'm not the one making a mistake.

You are!

By protecting Shelly.

And I won't be the one

paying for it.

It'll be those millions of Indians

who'll have to pay.

You are suspended

with immediate effect

for insubordination

and misappropriation of funds.

And Danish Khan as well.

I am setting up a fast-track

inquiry committee.

You can give all your answers there.

Report to the committee.

-Hello.

-What's the update?

Ma'am, Shelly's jet left Dubai,

but we don't know

where it is going.

And the other agencies

are not sharing any information

or intel with us.

To top it all, our clearances

have been cancelled.

The bigger problem is

that he beat up our agents

right in front of me.

After that, there is

complete radio silence.

Maybe the question here is

if he is at all on our side

or not.

Sir

If you need anything,

I'm sitting right here.

Yes.

-All set?

-Sir.

Communication systems

and translators in place?

-Yes, sir.

-Good.

Hello, everyone!

A very good evening to you

from my colleague,

Captain Abhimanyu Mathur, and me.

Thank you for making the journey

all the way from Myanmar.

You all can use

your headphones.

Sir, this is for you.

-Will it be loud?

-I certainly hope so, sir.

My interpreter here is going to

translate whatever I say.

It's showtime.

Ready with the fireworks,

Captain?

Absolutely.

This is BTG01.

Control unit, go ahead.

-All players on the flare in ten.

-Copy that.

General Aung

Would you care

to do the honours?

Thank you.

The silence of the night

in the desert.

But it's time to wake up

our neighbours

in the guise of silence.

Tonight we shall claim the land

that is rightfully ours.

Our army is ready

to attack their territory.

But there's movement

on the other side.

Someone is approaching.

Is it a friend or an enemy?

By the time we find out,

it will be too late.

We have to take a decision

immediately.

But how?

If you could please look

at the console in front of you

Our latest Russian-made

biometric software

identifies encroaching movements.

Enemy.

Our first strike, and w*r begins.

Vulcan M61A2.

Six-barrelled, air-cooled,

electrically fired

Gatling-style rotary cannons

with a muzzle velocity

of 3,000 feet per second.

The enemy is counter-attacking.

They seem to have purchased

new weapons too.

But they are moving too fast.

There's only one way to respond

to such firing.

POM-4.

This landmine detects

the seismic activity of the enemy.

If the enemy comes within

a radius of 20 feet

These landmines will be useful

to you at your border.

It's not over yet.

Waves of enemy attacks

one after the other.

Presenting the FIM-92F stingers.

Whatever your enemy throws

at you,

this will destroy it.

And as for those travelling

on land

We have the FGM Hunter

to take care of it.

How do you like the sight?

A stunning landscape, fire, smoke

Destruction!

Gorgeous, isn't it, Captain?

Don't you feel like wearing

your uniform

and wielding a g*n again?

Not at all.

When watching it

from a distance like a show

w*r can be so beautiful.

Especially for those

who aren't in it

but make it happen.

If there's paradise on Earth

then this is it!

This is it.

Carry on.

Gentlemen,

before our grand finale

Oslo Convention.

I hope

you don't believe in it.

Presenting my favourite

Smell that, General?

That's the perfume of w*r.

Napalm.

The perfect weapon

for mass destruction.

It may be banned for the world,

but not for us!

The weapons you saw today

are the most modern

and the most dangerous ones.

They represent absolute power.

The power that flows

from the barrel of a g*n.

And now you can have

this power in your hands.

To do as you wish.

You all came here

and gave us your valuable time.

Thanks a lot.

We'll be waiting

for your phone calls.

And more than that,

the phone calls from your bankers.

Bon voyage, my friends! Adios.

Come on, guys. Let's party.

Follow me.

Tighten the ropes!

Come on! Fast, fast!

You're taking too long. Hurry up.

It should be tight.

-Good morning, Patil.

-Morning.

Tighten the ropes.

Where are the arms

being taken?

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

Back to the ship.

From there,

to the central storage.

Where is the central storage?

Captain, come with me.

I I'll just change and come?

You don't need to come along.

You handle the loading

along with Jaffer.

Just the two of us will go.

Come.

The Myanmar party

has offered us a good deal.

They won't find a better deal

after the UN arms sanctions.

Congratulations on the deal.

The deal will be finalised

only when I give my consent.

There was someone else

other than the Tatmadaw last night.

We could have had

the presentation in English,

but we presented in Hindi.

Was it any of our neighbours?

You are very sharp.

There are some guests

who don't need an invitation

and some

who don't believe in borders.

I think you turn right

from there.

Hamza, my dear man, they're friends.

Show some respect.

Mr. Shelly.

I've been so eager to meet you

for a long time.

What a pleasure to meet you.

I have heard a lot about you.

Must be less than how much

I have heard about you.

You wouldn't do business

with me otherwise.

Hi.

It must be my good fortune

that the wind has changed

its course.

Bateel dates?

-No, thank you.

-No, thank you.

Have some. It will keep you cool.

-No, I don't eat Bateel.

-Oh!

By the way, thanks to

your fireworks last night,

there's a rise

in temperature here.

That was quite a show actually.

Thank you, mister

Well, what did the Bard say?

"What's in a name?"

You know

Joaquim

Shaan Mathur

You can give me any name

that's left after all these.

See, new friends, old foes.

We need to take care of everyone.

Mr. Shelly, we're in the

business of making relationships.

Long-term ones.

From the offers that

Major General Aung

and Myanmar Tatmadaw have made,

it is clear

that they're your huge fans.

You seem to be well-informed.

Well we value

your relationship with us.

Let me make you an offer.

Whatever the Tatmadaw has offered

I'll pay you 50 percent more

than that.

That's very kind of you.

So, you can take up this offer

and repay the kindness.

I'll have to

consult my team

-and the Tatmadaw--

-Right, right, right.

You care so much for your client?

It doesn't seem like

this is your last deal.

No problem. Take your time.

But you know what?

Let me just sweeten this deal.

No lawyers.

No commission.

No agent.

No paperwork.

Only trust.

50 percent will be paid in advance,

and the remaining 50 percent

immediately after delivery.

Mr. Shelly, just ensure one thing

that

you don't break our trust.

That's it.

If you don't mind, can I ask you

where you'd be using them?

Uh

Well

You hold a British passport,

right?

So, go around the world.

I would just suggest

that you do not go back

to your country.

India is not safe.

See you, Mr. Shelly.

Joaquim, Mathur, Shaan

Who is he?

Is he from !sis or Al-Qaeda?

But why did you have to ask him

-where he is going to use them?

-If anything happens

on the Indian mainland,

can you imagine

the kind of heat

that'll be on us?

Sri Lankan, British no passport

will salvage that situation.

Right.

A known devil is better

than an unknown angel.

Tatmadaw it is.

Get Jayu to ready their shipment.

The guy got drunk

and fell in a bloody gutter, man.

As we say in India,

he shat his pants.

Bro.

Come here.

-How was your ride here?

-Good, good.

Ma'am, can I have

your phone, please?

-Madam!

-Take a look at me.

How was your journey?

I hope not too bouncy.

It was fine.

Why was my phone confiscated?

Routine security.

Anyway, there's no network coverage

in this 20-kilometre radius.

Can we leave from here?

All these men are staring at me.

Can't blame them.

BJ darling, how's it going?

-I'm alive.

-Let's celebrate then.

-No, no. Thanks, Chief.

-What say, guys?

Everyone took a break from me,

so I decided

to take a break from drinking.

BJ and sober?

I never thought I'd live to hear

these two words together.

Give me a moment, guys.

My lady needs some love.

Please give me your phone.

I know the rules.

But my lovebird

will call to serenade me.

I'll need the phone then.

All right?

You can also hear her song

on the loudspeaker if you want.

I'll have to check with the Chief.

Don't worry. That special song

will be for the Chief only.

Shaan, my darling.

Mixing business with pleasure.

This is not Shelly's style.

He has still called all of us here,

in the middle of nowhere.

Or has he called us here

because it is the middle

of nowhere?

If something happens

to someone here,

if someone gets lost,

no one will know.

I'm ready anyway

to give my life or take a life

in the name of friendship.

You give it a thought.

It's too hot here, man.

Hey, it's a power cut!

Go check over there.

What's wrong

with the lights now?

It keeps happening here.

They'll fix it. Relax.

"Relax." Really?

Here? In this army base?

Shelly, you saw the way

all the men were staring at me.

So what?

I thought you were used to it

during your modelling days.

By the way, you are the one

who wanted to come with me.

So, why are you complaining now?

Well, you seem slightly edgy

of late.

If there's anything you want to say,

just tell me.

You'll feel light.

I don't know what you mean.

Why did you go into my study?

What are you talking about?

No, I didn't.

Tell me. Tell me the truth.

It'll be fine.

This is ridiculous. I don't know

what you're talking about.

Look, K

I don't like hurting you.

But the truth is

you are hurting me

by lying to me.

I beg of you, don't hurt me.

Just tell me.

Who did you give the list to?

What list?

I swear to God, I have no idea.

To GV?

To RAW?

Who did you give the list to?

Till now, those soldiers

were just staring at you, love

-Chief.

-What!

There's a problem

with the generator, Chief.

Go and f*cking fix it!

Somebody cut the wire, Chief.

Think of an answer

by the time I return, or else

He hit you?

You can't be here.

He'll be back any moment.

What if he doesn't stop

at just hitting you?

You'll get in trouble.

Just leave.

Kaveri, I promise you.

I'll get you out of here very soon.

I never told you who I work for.

-I work for--

-Don't.

I don't need to know.

I have always

only listened to my head.

For the first time,

I'm listening to my heart.

Kaveri

What do you need?

I had clicked a photo of your list.

But I swear I had no idea

that it could be a problem.

Why click a photo?

I wanted to know what the man

I have been with for so many years

does for a living.

I was curious.

You could've asked me.

Shelly, you never tell me anything.

You don't give a straight answer

whenever I ask you anything.

So, I thought of

figuring it out myself.

I took a photo of the list

and thought

someone may help me with it.

Who?

Who did you show it to?

Who would I show it to?

I could hardly muster up

the courage,

so I deleted it.

-When did you delete it?

-Within a week maybe.

Are you sure you did not

show it to anyone?

I didn't show it

to anyone, Shelly. I swear.

You know that I am careless

with my phone.

Even BJ had told me

to not leave it just anywhere.

Was your phone with BJ?

No. He found it somewhere

and returned it.

I am so stupid. I am so sorry.

I had no idea

that it would cause you problems.

I I didn't know.

I am sorry.

There is no problem

that can't be solved.

It's okay.

No more secrets.

Henceforth, you won't hide

anything from me.

I love you, K.

I love you, too.

Let us call BJ here

and ask him what he did

with your phone.

In your presence,

he won't be able to lie.

Oh, my

I'd have prayed for your long life

on this moonlit night

if I were your wife.

What are you doing here?

Come.

Come, come

Let's have a chat with Shelly.

I had warned you, my dear.

You didn't listen to me.

Let go

I'll k*ll you!

Hey! Who's there?

What's happening?

-Hey--

-Call the boss!

Quick!

He cut the fence

and tried to flee.

I chased him. He shot at me.

He's no more, Chief.

I had no choice.

BJ.

BJ darling

Nobody should find out

he was here.

Dispose of the body

with care.

He was a friend.

-Mr. Khan.

-Yes.

On 14th February,

you sent a requisition

for Rs. 2.7 million.

Please have a look.

The funds were released to you.

And at your behest,

Mr. Gaikwad made

a temporary entry

for Uzbekistan.

Mr. Khan, could you explain

where you utilised these funds?

Yes Just a minute

Looks like Mr. Khan is going to

need more time.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Saikia Rao

In the month of March,

you availed a long medical leave.

Can you give a reason?

Of course, I can.

But actually

it's pregnancy related.

I'm not sure

if you want to hear about

my ovaries and uterus.

-You know what I mean.

-Yeah, I can understand.

Actually, we're interested

in Gurgaon Girls.

A tour package from

a travel company in Karol Bagh.

New Delhi to Colombo.

And the flight manifest of

flight number 176

Both of these have your name.

Have a look.

If this was not an official visit,

then we'll need to see

the details of the account

from where you made

these payments.

Correct.

Mr. Khan, please check this too.

The funds were procured

in the name of Kazakhstan, Iran,

Afghanistan and Vietnam.

What happened to those funds?

Yes, sir.

Sir, can we take

a five-minute break?

Sitting for too long

Sorry, sir. Actually,

there's an alarm on my phone.

I am diabetic.

If I don't take my insulin shot

right now,

I'll start feeling dizzy.

Please excuse me, okay?

I'll be right back.

He did it, Danish.

Trucks loaded with weapons.

Military trucks

loaded with ammunition,

ill*gal arms

and even landmines.

It's approaching Dubai Port.

You needed hard proof, right?

We can catch Shelly

red-handed now.

Out!

You've lost your mind.

No, no. Listen to me.

This proves nothing.

What's the proof that this info

is not a trap?

No, no. Okay, listen. Fine.

Let's assume

that the info is genuine.

So what? Who do we take it to?

Who do we show it to?

Once what's going on in there

is over,

no one will listen to us,

Lipika.

Mark my words.

Your American friends?

-What?

-Your American friends will listen.

They like you.

Out!

-What happened?

-Ma'am, bathroom

Oh, yes.

They like you. Just say--

Sorry.

Done?

Just drop

an anonymous tip.

You won't rest until I've gone

to jail, will you, Lipika?

Danish,

when these weapons

claim lives, the only ones

responsible for it

will be you and I.

I can deal with failure,

but not this.

f*ck!

-Okay, now get me eyes on the convoy.

-Sure, sir.

-Do we have it?

-Checking, sir.

-Almost there.

-Second one on the right, yeah.

Estimated time of arrival?

Anytime now, Chief.

The trucks are about to

reach Dubai Port.

Satellite footage is up.

ETA, six minutes, Chief.

-Madhu, bring Kaveri here.

-Yes, Chief.

Mr. Danish Khan.

You hired

a private telephone company

to track some international calls.

Whose calls were you tracking

and why?

The trucks are at Dubai Port, Chief.

They will reach the ship

in three minutes.

You sent for me?

Yes. I was missing you, darling.

Come, I want to show you something.

Where is BJ?

BJ was not feeling well,

and he was also in a rush.

So, he left.

But you be here with me,

darling.

I want to keep my near

and dear ones

close to me.

Our trucks have reached

the ship, Chief.

Prepping to load the cargo.

Where in Colombo

did you stay

and for how many days?

Actually, I feel claustrophobic

in hotels

since you can't open

the windows.

So, I prefer homestays.

Check the bills.

This says 500.

Hands behind your heads!

Get down!

Get down!

-Yes?

-There's a US military raid.

Sir, the US military

has raided the dock.

Open all the trucks right now!

-Come on!

-Open up!

Open up! Open up right now!

Check the truck. Go, go, go!

Open up right now!

Get in the truck!

Shelly, what do we do now?

What's wrong, Shelly?

Pull that g*dd*mn curtain up

right now!

Mrs. Lipika Saikia Rao.

In May, you pulled special favours.

Can you please explain to us why?

Pull that goddamned curtain up

right now!

Faster! Faster!

Only barrels here, sir.

Look inside.

Check for weapons inside.

Open them up. Open them all.

What's in the barrel?

Topple the barrel.

Topple it.

Topple that right now!

There're no weapons in here, sir!

Only g*dd*mn oil.

Sir.

Not even one single weapon

in this whole bloody truck.

It's just freaking oil.

-Hello?

-Sir, cargo clear.

Fantastic!

-Cargo cleared.

-What?

They're on the way, sir.

Shelly, how do you do this?

You're a bloody genius, man! f*ck!

Well done, bro!

How did you like my magic trick,

Captain?

K, darling. This is what I do.

Oil shipments for

the power shortage in Sri Lanka.

Trying to save the world,

but people suspect my intentions.

Come, let's go.

But how?

I thought

I'll call you back later.

Lipi

I will report his name

to the commission.

Tomorrow.

This is over.

Everyone was focussed

on the cups.

No one paid attention

to the ball.

There were only as many weapons

at the base

as needed for the auction.

The rest never got off the ship.

The ship carrying the weapons

is still in international waters.

You knew they were watching you,

and you used it against them.

The Indian Intelligence

can't even touch me.

Nor can their spy.

Now, from here,

back to Lanka?

The deal isn't over yet.

There's a lot to be done.

We're headed to the same place

as the arms.

Myanmar.

You need some rest.

Big day coming up.

A lot has happened

in the past two days.

It'll be hard to fall asleep.

Sleep easy, Captain.

I've taken care of everyone

and everything.

What's happening, baby?

Oh, come on!

How many times will you

raid my place?

f*ck!

Naren?

Lipi

Naren! Naren, what happened?

Oh, God! What happened?

No Say something.

Mr. Shelly wants to know

your friend's name.

Tell me your agent's name.

Who is it? Give me a name!

Mr. Shelly wants a name.

Speak up!

Good morning, Mr. Shelly.

We'll be landing shortly

at the Hazrat Shahjalal

International Airport, Dhaka.

The temperature outside

is 32 degree Celsius.

With 40% chances of rain.

Kindly keep your seat belts fastened.

Hope you had a pleasant flight.

Where are we staying?

We're almost there.

That's the hotel.
