02x08 - The Good Samaritan

[bunniefuu]

Are you wasted on the job?

Do you want to get fired?

Merry Christmas, and welcome
to this special news bulletin.

The talks for the Naga Business Summit

have successfully concluded
in Delhi today,

with the Naga leaders signing
a historical agreement

that will pave the way

for investments worth
20,000 crore rupees into the state.

The Naga leaders issued
a brief joint statement in this regard

before boarding
a special flight to Dimapur,

where they will be welcomed by
thousands of cheering supporters.

This shall be followed by
a press conference…

Silent night, holy night

All is calm, all is bright

Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child…

- Long live…
- Nagaland!

- Long live…
- Nagaland!

Hey, man! Merry Christmas!

Want a balloon?

Of course, you do.
Everyone wants a balloon.

Here, only a hundred rupees for you.

- I don't need one.
- Okay, sir, keep this for free.

- Because Jesus loves you.
- I don't need one.

Sir, what happened?

Sir?

For you, it's free because Jesus loves--

Please, stop. Come back!

Release me!

Move!

Call the cops!

Where's the back door?

- That way, sir. That way.
- Right?

- Right?
- Yes.

Give me the keys, quick!

Hurry up!

Jai Hind, sir.

Sub-Inspector Imran Ansari,
reporting for duty.

Ma'am's body was recovered
from Daniel's house.

My father was in the force, too,

during the '80s and '90s.

The worst time for Nagaland.

He once told me…

"Son,

if I'm not home

and a colleague shows up at our door…

know that I will miss you."

Whenever he was out on duty…

and the doorbell rang…

Today, I'm going to be that
colleague who shows up at the door.

I want to meet Ken.

After years of only incremental gains

toward peace and development,

the Naga Business Summit promises
to be the game-changer

that generations of Nagas
have been hoping for.

In a press conference in Kohima,

the Naga leaders revealed
the broad terms of the agreement,

which include a guaranteed investment
of at least 20 thousand crores

over the next five years,

50% job reservation for Nagas,

and several other initiatives
for the beleaguered state.

One man, however,
was conspicuous by his absence.

And that was the veteran leader
Rangthong Ken,

better known to us as Uncle Ken.

So here we are,
right outside his house,

hoping to get an audience with the man

who played an instrumental role

in ensuring this momentous day

arrives in our lifetimes.

I told her last night…

that either Daniel or you would be coming
in the morning.

Go.

What happened on the night
of Thom's m*rder?

May I?

Thom got a call that night.

It was his dealer, Max Rizu.

Max told Thom that the drug raid

was set up by Reddy.

Thom was a smart a*s.

He knew at once
that this was Reddy's way

of pressuring him to agree to the summit.

Excuse me, sir.

The note is torn.

Thom stormed out of the bar

and came to your room.

He refused to be a part
of the summit anymore.

And just for that, you had him k*lled?

I didn't have him k*lled, Chaudhary.

I did it myself.

Because I didn't have a choice.

It wasn't an act of rage.

I did what I had to.

Uncle Ken, I won't change my mind.

I'm not going to be part of this.

I'm calling it off.

I respect you a lot,

but I won't discuss this anymore.

You k*ll only
when you have no other choice.

And then you two decapitated him…

to make it look like a political m*rder?

Next, you made the confession video
with those three people

and then had them k*lled, too.

And then you set up Reuben for it.

ACP Imran Ansari…

SP Meghna Barua…

that poor girl Rose, who is still fighting
for her life in the hospital…

Do you realize how many
lives you've destroyed here?

Trust me…

God reminds me of my sins

every time I take a piss.

I have kidney cancer.

Maybe I have
another two or three months to live.

But this summit…

This can help my people.

And I wanted to do this
one last thing for them.

So you want to be immortalized, is it?

Be remembered as the God of Nagaland?

We already have a God.

We just needed to see His miracle.

Alright then,

we'll let your devotees decide this

after they know the entire truth.

Sounds fair?

I'm not afraid of the truth coming out,
Chaudhary.

But after that,
Thom's party and his supporters

will never let this agreement go through.

It will all be for nothing, Chaudhary.

For nothing.

Although the shadow of Jonathan Thom's

unsolved m*rder still looms large here,

Kohima finally seems to be cheering up

with joy and hope today.

Will you drop me off at the airport?

Isn't the army hospital on the way?

Maybe Rose has gained
consciousness by now.

She might reveal something
about Raghu Paswan's whereabouts.

Rose is dead.

The hospital called
while you were with Ken.

She died in her sleep last night.

We did what we could.

And thank you so much, brother,

for not revealing anything
outside Ken's house.

My land,

my people…

They need hope.

They deserve hope.

Funny thing, this hope.

This man's wife came to me

with the hope that I would find him.

The wife is long dead…

and the child is all alone.

And here I am,
still hoping to find the man.

They are your guests, sir.

That's why I let them park here.

FRIENDS ARE FOREVER

Are you alright?

You're an important man, sir.

If you could find our son…

He's the only support we have
in our old age.

Your darling son has
eloped with his mistress.

He who doesn't care about his own child,

do you think he cares
about his doddering parents?

Uncle, easy.

Raghu didn't elope with that girl.

Did you find anything, sir?

He promised he would
be home for Makar Sankranti

with enough money

to pay off the medical loans.

This is for Guddu.

Sorry, this was all we could do.

Go on, boy, touch the lady's feet.

All I need is a hug.

Shall we visit Siddharth next week?

We can meet his girlfriend, too.

What was her name again?

Ananya.

You have quite the memory,
Mr. Chaudhary.

Go, freshen up.
I'll get dinner ready.

Yeah, Manju? Listen…

Sir, what exactly are we looking for?

Play it.

Jai Hind, sir.

Jai Hind, Chaudhary.

How is your mother-in-law doing?

Sorry, sir.

The DCP must have told you everything.

This case became
a little personal for me, sir.

I understand, Chaudhary.

But I have to put it
in your appraisal report.

It might even lead to a suspension.

It's only fair, sir.

Sir…

So, you weren't visiting
your mother-in-law?

Get back to work.

I thought it was your in-laws
who banged you up.

Here, sir, it's playing.

Wait a minute. Stop…
Rewind it.

Yeah, right here.

Zoom in.

"Friends are forever."

"Friends are forever."

That's quite profound, Tokas.

Tell us about your forever friends,
Kishore.

It's the boss's rickshaw.

I just lease it.

You're here to meet Guddu, right?

I dropped them off at the station.

Their train leaves tonight.

I'm only here to see you.

On the night of Raghu's disappearance,

what was your rickshaw doing
outside Nagaland Sadan?

- Sir!
- Ajju, run!

Tokas, go after him!

Stop!

Speak up!

That night, Raghu insisted

on borrowing my rickshaw.

I refused…

since it belongs to my boss.

Raghu offered to pay

ten thousand for just that one night.

His Rose madam had some urgent work.

Want a drink?

Got the money?

I'll pay you in a week.

What do you mean?

I don't have it right now.

How come?

Did your Rose madam not pay you?

Well, his madam doesn't pay in cash.

She pays him in kind.

Be careful what you say, Ajju.

f*ck that sh*t.

I lent you my rickshaw at a risk.

You said you’d pay me ten thousand

and repay what you owe to Shahid.

Now pay up!

I told you I'll get the money.
Now f*ck off.

He'll work for it and pay you.

It's just ten thousand.

He will now screw her.

Talk to me.

Show me the money.

Tell me you at least
got a private lap dance from her!

You as*h*le!

Jerk!

He doesn't have any money
but sure has a stinky attitude.

Where's my money?

Where's my money?

Rose madam said she's going
to get money from somewhere.

She wanted to give me five lakhs.

Where is the money, then?

Speak up!

Where is the money?

She hasn't got the money yet!

She’s landed in some trouble.

Take me for a fool, do you?

Take me for a fool?

Please, just listen to me.

Where's the money?

Where's the money, you b*stard?

Ajju!

Hold him!

We took care of him through the pandemic.

Now, when he made five lakhs
in one night,

couldn't he pay us what he owed?

He never got the money, you moron.

Sir, that…

So, Raghu's only mistake was
that he tried to help Rose.

I don’t get one thing, though.

That night, Dhruv Mallik was
waiting outside Nagaland Sadan,

and Rose's plan was to sneak away
with the money with Raghu's help.

This means she was going to
get the money from Thom that night.

But by the time she reached him,
Thom was already dead.

She freaked out
and left without the money.

So where did that money go?

We didn’t find anything during the search.

I have some news to share.

I'm putting in my papers.

I'm done with this sh*t.

And what do you plan to do?

Let the Lord be my guide.

I know you guys used to call me
"Virk the Wuss" back in Okhla.

You were always a better officer
than I was, Chaudhary.

But I always knew
I would be the one to last longer.

This system is like a boat, Chaudhary.

And everyone knows the boat is sinking.

You’re the kind trying to save the boat.

I’m the kind trying to save just myself.

Want an ice cream?

Hey!

- Yes, sir?
- Two for us.

Sorry, sir, this note is torn.

You should be glad you're getting one
in the first place. Go!

Excuse me, sir.

The note is torn.

I'll get going, Virk.

- What's up?
- It's nothing.

Think it through.

f*ck off, you wuss.

Sir, please, hurry up.

Hurry up, sir.

If anyone finds out, I'll lose my job.

You know what the wise ones say, Satbir?

A case file that's ordered shut
is never flipped open again.

- That works?
- Works, sir.

I'm leaving.

Good luck, sir.

I need a small favor from you, Mr. Bhalla.

Can you tell us which
hawala operator issued this note?

That's him.

The one who promised to shut my shop.

Let bygones be bygones, Mr. Bhalla.

You're like an older brother to me…

A child's future is at stake here,
Mr. Bhalla.

You help me today,
and I'll remember it forever.

But if you choose not to,

there's no way in hell
I'll ever forget that.

Brother?

- Tell me the number.
- Number?

- The number written on the note.
- Yes.

Do you have a bag?

What for?

How do you plan
to take away two crores otherwise?

This is just five lakhs.

And that is all he was promised.
