02x04 - Missed Call

Post by bunniefuu »

Get lost.

Two thousand.

I'll get the rest tomorrow.

It's not a charity.

- It's a request, just this time.
- Not possible.

- Please, brother.
- I said, no.

You do look like my sister.
So, buzz off.

For God's sake.

Don't bother me, b*tch.
Don't you get it?

Take that thing off.

What is it?

You do look like my sister.

Don't say that. It's fine.

It's alright.

Let go, I don't want it.

Hey, look here.

Don't sleep around, or else my sister
will get a reputation because of you.

We are Nagas, and Nagaland belongs to us.

We will not let outside
mercenaries exploit us.

That traitor, Jonathan Thom…

The lock isn't broken.
It wasn't a forced entry.

He was cheating our people to feed
his own greed and that of outsiders.

And we are supposed
to be mere spectators?

They probably knew the assailant.

Could this be revenge
for Thom's k*lling?

Did the neighbors hear
or see anything?

The constables are asking around.

- Sir!
- Yes, sir?

All three have the same tattoo
on their arms.

It could be a date,

possibly…

December 15, 1997.

We recovered from them the mobile phone

on which the confession
video was recorded.

Ma'am, is it true that the three
were associates of Reuben Thom?

Prima facie, the three
had some connections

with the Naga Youth Council,

but we're still investigating
all possible angles.

We don't have any other information
at this moment.

- Ma'am! Ma'am!
- Thank you.

Sir! Sir!

They're saying the three found dead
were from your party.

Back off!

Did you order your father's k*lling?

You need to explain this. Sir!

Our sources have confirmed that
those three are from your party.

Sir! Please, sir.

Screw them!

Find out who else was looking
for those three.

Where can I find Manoj?

It's the fifth shop on the right.

Manoj?

Who's asking?

Delhi Police.

Raghu is a distant relative.

He did visit a couple of times,

but it's been a while.
I don't remember.

Ah, you don't remember!

Alright, then.

How old is your son?

He's seven.

That's all good, then.

He's too young to remember
the beating you're going to get now.

And by the time he grows up,
you'll be back from jail.

I think I remember something.

He was seeing some girl here.

Who's that?

I swear I don't know.

But he would get calls.

And he used to go to a hotel.

When was the last time he came here?

About a fortnight ago.

But by then,
he had been fired from his job.

What was he doing here?

Spit it out!

Throw this dog in jail.

He thinks he's the sh*t.

Wants to help people cross the border.

I am sorry, sir.

He wanted the number of an agent

who could get two people
across the border.

Him and who?

Was it that girl Rose Lizo?

Don't know about that.

He gave me some advance for the agent.

Which this genius blew away.

Save the beating for later.

Hey.

What's the name of the hotel?
The one Raghu used to visit.

Don't remember the name,
but it's in New Market.

That's where he would go.

- New Market?
- Yes.

Joy to the world, the Lord is come

Let Earth receive her King

Let every heart prepare Him room

And Heaven and nature sing

Joy to the earth, the Savior reigns

Let men their songs employ

They came here in '97.

Orphans of the Langchoma shootout.

I read a bit about it.

It was a shootout between
two rebel factions, right?

Well, that's one version.

Is it true that after leaving
the orphanage,

they joined Reuben Thom's
Nagaland Youth Council?

Yes. But…

they didn't last long.

Then, they joined another

rebel outfit.

They were drifters,

kids trying to find a home.

Eventually, they realized their mistake

and left the rebel group.

They had plans

to lead a normal life.

But…

they put out a video
claiming responsibility

for Jonathan Thom's m*rder.

I know. It doesn't add up.

The video and all that happened.

But I also know for a fact

those three had already surrendered

under the amnesty drive.

And they were waiting for the
compensation to come in.

In fact, I might have
a picture somewhere.

Just last month, I spoke to Mr. Reddy

to expedite the compensation claim.

Sorry, who?

Kapil Reddy.

The person who initiated
the amnesty drive.

Sir, these three had already surrendered.

They were planning to
start a business together.

Surrender?

Then why commit this k*lling
in Delhi all of a sudden?

Exactly.

And guess in whose presence
they surrendered?

Who?

Kapil Reddy.

Kapil Reddy?

Sir, what was the name of
Reddy's wife's hotel?

The Rüli. Why do you ask?

Inspector Hathi Ram Chaudhary,
from the Delhi Police.

I was hoping to meet with
Mrs. Grace Reddy.

Sure, sir.
Do you have an appointment?

Sorry. Ma'am is very busy today.

But if you leave your card,

I'll make sure
she calls back at the earliest.

Excuse me, sir.
That's a private area.

Our offer is already quite generous.

And you know the market rates
post-pandemic.

Excuse me, sir.
This is a private area.

Sir.

What's going on?

Ma'am, I tried to stop him--

I'm from the Delhi Police, ma'am.
Hathi Ram Chaudhary.

We've met at Mr. Thom's funeral.

It better be important, officer.

We are looking for this man

in relation to Mr. Thom's m*rder case.

His name is Raghu Paswan.

I've heard he used to frequent your hotel.

Would that qualify as important?

Have you seen him around?

Give him access to our CCTV footage.

And show this picture
to all our employees.

- Yes, ma'am.
- See if anyone recognizes him.

Yes, ma'am.

Next time, officer,
take an appointment.

Sir.

Jai Hind, sir.

Is the job done, champion?

It was a cakewalk.

Look who's calling!

Are you alright?

I am, now that I've heard your voice.

Yeah, right!

Is your tummy alright?

No acidity, I hope?

None. I took the ayurvedic mix
you made for me.

All good with you?

Ma'am, got the solution for a+b.

Solve a-b now.

By the way, what did you decide?

You're coming, right?

I'm trying, but…

It's his eighteenth birthday,

as special as they come.

The ticket's worth eighteen thousand, too.

Do you get it now?

We'll figure something out.

I have started giving tuitions.

We'll get some money from that.

What's with this nonsense now?

This new hobby of yours
is going to cost me again.

How is my giving tuitions at home
going to cost you anything?

Just admit it.

If your wife earns,
you feel less of a man.

If that's what you think, so be it.

Maybe that's who I am.

If that works for you, fine. Or else--

Or else?

Or else what?

Guddu.

My name is Guddu.

What a lovely name!

Sir, what's going on?

We couldn't get to
know each other earlier.

How long have you worked here?

Bonku…

So, Mr. Ghosh…

how long has it been?

- It's been five years, sir. Why?
- I see…

So you must be well aware
that Nagaland is a dry state.

Of course, sir.

Tell me then, what's the penalty for being
caught with a bottle of alcohol here?

Alcohol?

- This isn't fair, sir.
- Neither is life.

Or you wouldn't have lied to me
about never having seen Raghu Paswan.

The thing is, you seem like
a decent guy, Mr. Ghosh.

A gentleman.

Yes.

I hope you're aware of what they do

to gentlemen like you in prison.

Are you getting my drift?

So out with everything you know.

Raghu Paswan used to come
to the hotel every month.

And I used to hand him
one lakh worth of cash.

How much?

One lakh rupees, sir.

It was by Mr. Reddy's order.

I'm just a lowly accountant.
I had nothing else to do with it.

Are you sure it was
one lakh every month?

Absolutely.

Sir, please put in a word
with the ACP about my case, if you will.

- Jai Hind, sir.
- Jai Hind, sir.

- This is--
- Salaam Alaikum, sir. Bittu Rehman.

Follow me, sir.

Let me show you a good time.

Hey, how are you?

Good. Thanks, mate.

Sir, I'll be right back.

Hey!

I think we should go.

This place is packed.

Sir, you can take this table.

We were just leaving.

Don't worry. It's not a raid.

It's not that.

I have a uric acid condition.

More than two drinks
and I won't be able to walk tomorrow.

People get rather creative
with their excuses at the sight of a cop.

By the way,
what happened at Reddy's hotel?

DCP Bhardwaj had called.

Apparently, Reddy wasn't too pleased.

Next time the DCP calls,

let him know that Raghu Paswan
used to go to Reddy's hotel every month.

Yes.

Shocking, right?

And he would collect one lakh rupees

every month from there.

A lakh?

- But--
- I'm wondering the same thing.

Raghu used to give
fifty thousand rupees to Rose every month.

Where did the rest of the money go?

I don't get their game.

If their plan was to m*rder Thom
and cross the border,

then why didn't Raghu come back to Manoj?

No clue, sir.

If DCP Bhardwaj calls you,

tell him it was I who had ordered you
to be strict with Reddy's wife.

That's what I told him.

I'll be right back.

Sir, ma'am is calling you…

Hello, ma'am, the ACP is in the loo.

Hello, who is this?

Hello?

I'm with the ACP.

He has gone to the loo.

I'll have him call you once he's back.

Okay.

Actually, I was just getting on a flight.

Tell him we'll talk tomorrow.

Thanks.

It's here.
Please, start.

Let's dig in.

Sir…

The phone kept ringing.

So, I picked it up,
thinking it was urgent.

Sir!

His flight had started boarding.
He said he will call you tomorrow.

Please, start.

Many times, I thought of telling you…

about Uzair.

But then I'd be reminded
of the department.

You know how it is…

Please don't mention this to anyone.

Listen, Ansari.

Sorry, sir.

Can I call you Ansari just this once?

Then listen up, Ansari.

I'm a Jat boy, a country bumpkin.

I haven't got a clue about these things.

You know what I mean?

But I do know that
if this feels right to you,

then that's all there is to it.

Don’t lose sleep over
what suckers like me might think of this.

Can I say something, too, sir?

When it's just us, call me Ansari.

"Sir" doesn’t roll off your tongue easily.

All good at home?

Don't ask.

It's Siddharth's birthday tomorrow.

She wanted me to visit for a day.

I said I can't make it.
Tickets are too expensive.

That was it.

All hell broke loose.

Tell me something.

Do you guys, too,
fight over the same sh*t?

Don't ask.
It's the same story here as well.

f*ck this!

What's the whole point then?

Good morning, sir.

You have fifteen minutes
to leave for the airport.

Why? What's the big occasion?

Ansari sir had called me last night
after we left the bar.

Ticket?

This is for today.
Let me talk to him.

He said he would be sleeping in,
so we should not disturb him.

The car's ready, and so is the chauffeur.

Let's get going.

What's the hold-up? It's all planned.
You just have to catch the flight.

- What's with your leg?
- f*ck knows!

It's been acting up off and on.

- Help me pack.
- Of course.

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

Please wish Siddharth on my behalf.

Sure.

The talks for the Nagaland Business Summit
will resume today in Delhi.

This comes after the unprecedented
disruption in the talks

due to the gruesome m*rder
of Nagaland Democratic Forum

founder Jonathan Thom.

It will now be interesting
to witness the recommence of the talks

under the shadow of this m*rder

and where it leads
the future of the state.

Mr. Reddy, this is the next point.

Point number three on the agenda

is job reservations for the Nagas

in the ventures
initiated under this summit.

The Home Ministry advises

a fifty percent cap on this,

so as to keep the proposal attractive
to the investing companies.

What about the individual
reservations for the tribes?

And two, we need to talk about

giving jobs to the surrendered rebels.

Sir, the businesses will not
be comfortable with this,

as it might lead to
trade union issues in the future.

So, you want us to abandon those
who fought for our rights?

I don't get it.

- Wait.
- No, no, no.

Do you understand the word "surrendered"?

These are the people
who have given up arms

and are looking for a normal life.

Why can't we give
them a second chance?

This is what true reconciliation is.

- Yeah, that's true.
- Yeah.

Mr. Sinha…

I think they are making a fair demand.

Whose side are you really on, Mr. Basu?

We're all on the same side, Mr. Sinha.

What's good for Nagaland
is good for India.

Excuse me.

Mr. Reddy?

Your father didn't leave behind a fortune.

He left behind a damn mess.

Now I need time to clean it up.

Is that so?

I'm giving you a week.

Transfer the money, or else…

Relax, I'll talk to your mother.

Don't you get it?

I am in charge now!

Dammit, Reuben, listen to me.
They are watching us right now.

Just freaking lie low and

give me some time
to arrange the money.

How do I know it wasn't you
who got my father k*lled for this money?

After all…

it was you who convinced him
to join these talks.

You know what your father
used to call you?

A damn half-wit.

Now, I think he was being too kind.

And if you're really in charge,

try keeping the phone's
speaker off next time.

Idiot.

You look distracted, Mr. Reddy.

I hope I don't have to remind you

how important this summit is
for all of us.

Especially for you.

And yet, here you are, reminding me.

He's been planning it for a while.

He put all your father's money
into his businesses,

under his name.

Why didn't you warn Dad?

You think I didn't?

Did you have anything to do
with the m*rder of those three?

If I could k*ll somebody,

I'd have k*lled my father.

You know it.

Someone's trying to frame me.

I was only looking to find out who.

What do we do now?

Grace is meeting investors,
trying to sell off her properties here.

Once that happens,

what’s to stop the Reddys
from running away with our money?

Easy, look ahead.

Yes, sir?

Sister-in-law!

Sister-in-law!

Sister-in-law!

Break everything you see!

Brother, please leave him! Brother!

Please…

Please let go, brother.

Who are you?

What do you want?

If you outsiders want to live in Nagaland,

then don't buy those hotels
from the Reddys.

Hear me?

Sir, this guy wants to speak to you.

He says it’s important.

Sir, I know where Rose Lizo is.

You'll live a hundred years!

Welcome back.

No place like home, is there?

Even for a high-flier like you these days.

Good boy.

When I told you I was coming,
why did you have to call him?

Jitu also wanted to meet Siddharth.

What are you lovebirds on about?

Save the romance
for the air-conditioned drive.

I've got the latest collection
of MP3s on my pen drive.

You'll love it.

Can I pee first? Or should I save that
for the drive as well?

Come on, get ready.

Guddu, you too.

Vroom! Vroom! In the car.

Shall we?

Oh, God.

It was 304, right?

Get the cake and the lunch box.

Let's go, Guddu.

The lenses get all fogged up
in the air conditioning.

Sure, it was snowing inside as well.

Here, take this.

Of course.

Happy birthday, Siddhu!

Mom?

That's Ananya, my classmate.

Call your other friends as well.

We'll cut the cake with everyone.

Your father is getting it.

But, Mom, I had plans to
go out with my friends.

- When?
- Now.

There's a movie at 5:00 p.m.,
and then dinner.

I cooked all your favorite food.

I thought we would eat together.

But, Mom, you should've told me
you were coming.

It was meant to be a surprise!

There you are, Mr. Engineer.

Happy birthday, my boy.

You've become quite handsome.

He is going out with his friends.

Dad, I didn't know
you guys were coming.

I've already invited people,
they're coming over.

The tickets have been booked.

So what?

Your father has come all the way
from Nagaland just for your birthday.

That's alright.

We just wanted to see you
on your birthday, that's all.

Let's cut the cake.
He's getting late.

Take this.

Keep it there.

Jai Hind, sir.

- Here are your car keys.
- Yes.

Inspector Chaudhary had mentioned the
clutch plate wasn't functioning properly.

I got it serviced.
You won't have any issues anymore.

Thank you.

- That's alright, sir.
- Please take it.

If you can, just help me with my case.

Sure.

- Hello.
- Is this ACP Ansari?

Yes, speaking.

I know where Rose Lizo is.

What? Who is this?

Are you sure it's Rose Lizo?

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday, dear Siddhu!

Happy birthday to you!

Amazing.

Where exactly is Daklane Road?

Sister, it's me.

We met in the morning.

How did you know where I live?

Look, I just felt a connection.

And don't worry, I don't want to
get fresh with you or anything.

I just got some stuff for you.

I'll leave it by the door, okay?

If you need more, just let me know.

- Is it done?
- Yes, I took them there.

Don't come closer.
I'll k*ll you!

- Let go of me!
- Shut up!

Let her go, Reuben.

Or I'll blow your brains out.

Don't get mixed up, officer.

- Let go of him.
- Drop it!

- I'll sh**t you.
- I said drop it!

Let go of him, or I'll sh**t her.

I said let her go. Drop it!

Hey, stop!

Stop, Rose!

Rose!

Don't sh**t.

Rose, stop!

Rose!

Got it, boss. I'll find her.

Shut up, b*tch!

Hey!

Come with me!

Come on, move!

Move!

Get in the car!

Get in!

sh*t!

Rose Lizo, I am arresting you
for the m*rder of Jonathan Thom.
