Original subtitles

In the recent attack in Kohima, NIA Chief Gautam Kulkarni was killed,

along with Naga leader David Khuzou.

The government is yet to release any official information

on the number of casualties

or about the perpetrators of the attack.

So far, nothing has been made public.

In Dimapur and nearby areas,

a strict curfew has been imposed.

Sir.

How is Srikant?

He is still unconscious, sir.

Oh God, I hope he is okay.

But how did this even happen?

The mission was highly classified. How the hell did the information leak?

I don't know, sir, how any of this happened.

I'm working with the local police,

-the minute I find something... -There's no need, JK.

An inquiry is on. The PMO and Home Ministry

are closely monitoring the case.

So, don't do anything.

-But, sir... -I said, stand down.

Stay with Srikant

and keep me updated.

Is that clear?

The number you have dialed is switched off,

please try again later.

Where are you, Sri?

The number you have dialed...

What happened, Mom?

I've been trying to call your dad,

but the call isn't going through.

But why are you freaking out about it?

That happens all the time.

Look at this.

Oh, my God!

Kulkarni uncle!

But, Mom,

this incident took place in Dimapur…

And Dad is in Dehradun, right?

Yeah, right.

Did you try calling JK uncle?

Yes, a hundred times. He isn't answering.

Dhriti…

Baby!

Baby!

Look at me.

Calm down!

Calm down! Nothing would have happened to him!

I'm sure he'll call back in half an hour and say his phone

either fell in water, was switched off, or something like that.

Don't worry.

Everything will be all right.

Box breathe.

Tell me, what's the update?

Ma'am, I spoke to the Chief Minister of Nagaland.

He's very angry about the curfew.

I don't blame him. Our Intelligence Chief was

assassinated in his state.

It's not just about the Chief Minister.

It's utter chaos out there.

Public life has been paralyzed.

Whatever we choose to do, we have to think it through.

The people should feel we're on their side,

not against them.

And what about our neighbors?

They enter our backyard,

attack, and leave. And we just stand by?

Ma'am, we know there are certain outfits in that region

that have always been against Project Sahakar.

Who else would be involved in this attack, if not them?

They take funding from China,

exploit the situation in Myanmar,

and then hide there and secretly plan attacks here.

Without a proper investigation,

it is unfair to jump to any conclusions.

While waiting for a conclusion, we can't afford more damage.

Mr. Kulkarni may be no more,

but his project will not fail.

Under any circumstances.

This isn't any ordinary project.

It is my legacy.

It's time to show Basu's power to the world.

Give the order, ma'am.

We'll do a proper clean-up.

They'll think twice before doing anything like this ever again.

Try to understand,

those outfits enjoy some local support.

If we take any drastic action,

we will alienate the people.

It's the people I'm concerned for, Mr. Pakala!

In the fight between us and those outfits,

it's always the common people who suffer.

I want to bring peace, progress, and prosperity to the region.

But the world mistakes my empathy for weakness.

Trends the #CowardBasu.

I have had enough.

How long must I put up with this bullshit?

Ma'am, let's find a middle path.

What do you mean?

I mean, we kill the snake without breaking our staff.

Get to the point!

We should make some arrests, ma'am.

We will set up a Special Investigation Team to probe Kulkarni's assassination.

I'll personally investigate.

The pending payment has been transferred to your account, bhai.

Thank you.

Rukma bhai, please start.

It must've been a long journey. You must be starving.

Hey, guys. Come join us.

Hey! Come here.

What did you make first? The rice or the fish?

I have no idea.

You made both in the same pan, didn't you?

I can tell by the taste.

I only take orders.

You can take your complaints to my owner.

You fucker!

Passionate about food, aren't you?

Bhai, food is life.

Why else do we work so hard?

Then become a chef, fucker!

You can tell what pan to use to cook the fish.

What to cook the rice…

But you can't see this?! Fucker!

Look!

Only one of my fingers is working.

What do I do with it?

Tell me! Where do I shove it?

I told you before,

I always work with my boys.

And what did you say? Rukma bhai,

the client has requested that you use their boys.

Right?

I saw their brilliance, first-hand. They were useless!

Sorry, bhai!

Bhai.

Expenses from the mission.

You need to reimburse these.

Petrol,

uniforms,

medical bills.

Total, 27,000 rupees.

Bhai, I just transferred five million pounds to your account,

and you're worried about 27,000 rupees?

Every drop makes the ocean.

The accounts should be clear.

In your ocean, this is even less than a drop.

You know who my dad was, right?

Yes, I know. You've told me.

He was a police constable,

-and his salary was 12,000 rupees. -Correct.

With just 12,000 rupees, he ran a family that had my grandparents,

my mom, and us, three siblings.

27,000 rupees would cover the expenses of half a village.

And you're saying, I should let it go?

We must aim for the stars

but stay true to our roots.

-I'll get it done. -No, not later.

Right away.

Eat.

Your fish and rice.

Bhai.

Be careful until the situation settles down.

I'm not saying you're a suspect,

but still, be careful.

I better not be a suspect.

Otherwise, you have to 'be careful'.

I'm going to the farmhouse.

All of you go underground.

Okay, Rukma bhai.

Water.

-Water. -Tiwari!

-Tiwari! -Suchi…

Can you hear me?

Suchi…

-Doctor! -Suchi…

Nurse!

There is nothing to worry about.

All his reports are normal.

But yes, he needs to get rest.

Sir, weren't you saying he has a severe head injury?

Water?

-Water. -Tiwari!

Tiwari!

It's all good.

You're safe.

Thank the lord.

I thought being shot in the ass was bad, but this was way worse.

I thought you were a goner.

Where are we?

You're in a hospital.

Don't you remember anything?

Tiwari?

Momo.

-What? -Momo.

Momo?

Why're you saying 'momo', Tiwari?

Enough! Stop!

Sorry.

Is it okay now?

Now tell me.

We were on our way to a meeting… in a car.

Yes, I know. What happened after?

Then we ate momo.

Why are you chanting momo over and over again?

Focus on the meeting.

What happened after the meeting?

Think hard!

Shouting at me won't help me recall, fucker.

You remember how to cuss well, though.

Continue.

It was a big house.

Whose house was it?

David Khuzou's.

I know that. What happened after?

I was meeting David Khuzou after ages.

He was asking about my marriage to Saloni.

You married Saloni?

No, he thought we were married.

Saloni and I had something going on.

-Yes. -Are you getting me?

-Yes, I know. -There was something between us…

We talked about momo, love, and even about an imaginary marriage.

Recall anything about the job?

Okay, never mind. You get rest.

We'll talk a little later.

You rest.

We were going in the car.

David Khuzou, me,

Kulkarni sir…

Where's Kulkarni sir?

Tiwari!

Mom, mom!

Did you hear that?

Is that the call of a Bugun?

Yes, the Bugun sings.

Someone's coming.

What have you done?!

It's nothing.

What do you mean by 'it's nothing'?

You told me you'll come back tomorrow.

Does your 'tomorrow' mean five months later?

I'm here now, aren't I?

I had some work to do.

Every time you come, it's with a new injury.

I got stuck with some idiots.

I sensed something was off right from the start.

Mom.

Let me set the table.

Come, let's eat.

What is it?

Are you my dad?

Are you crazy?!

Get out of here.

So you're saying that they knew of your movement and route?

Someone must have…

Fed information to the attackers.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been possible for them to be so well-prepared.

That means it's an inside job.

We need to be very careful.

We can't trust anybody.

Everything stays between us.

Do one thing.

Call Ajit and Punit out here.

Our core team.

No one else. I can't trust anybody else.

-Okay? -Yes.

By the way, Suchi has been calling nonstop. Please talk to her.

Hello!

What?

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

Give me your phone.

Here.

-Hello. -Hello, Suchi.

Sri! Where the hell were you?

And why has your phone switched off since yesterday?

Do you have any idea what crazy thoughts

were running through my head?

Suchi, just listen to me...

I know that it's your life, and you don't owe me any explanations,

but at least think about the kids!

I've been lying through my teeth, reassuring them,

saying that everything is all right,

when I, myself, wasn't sure if you were alive or…

Suchi, I'm alive.

I'm absolutely all right.

My phone fell into the water and stopped working.

We were crossing a river in Dehradun,

and the phone slipped out of my hand,

-fell into the river and died. -Sri, please!

At least stop lying now!

JK already told me that you are in Dimapur.

Sri, are you all right?

I'm okay.

Sri, I'm…

I'm so sorry about Kulkarni sir.

I know he was like a father to you.

I can't imagine what you're going through.

It must be really hard.

-He was like a family to all of us... -Suchi…

Can we talk about something else?

Yes.

What else is up? How are things at work?

Not good.

The government has banned our app.

Banned? Why?

Our major stakeholders are Chinese.

Haven't you heard? The government has banned Chinese-funded apps.

-So then? -I don't know.

Nikhil wants me to go on some TV show,

represent ShrinkMe, and try to save our image.

You're going to be on TV!

Wow!

You'll kill it, Suchi.

You'll kill it.

I don't know, I guess.

How are the kids?

They're fine.

Dhriti has started taking her anxiety meds again.

Atharv is happily oblivious.

Thank God, he hasn't found out about any of this.

Good.

Suchi, can we talk later?

I have some work now.

I'll call back in a bit, okay?

Okay.

Are you done?

You knew that I'd told Suchi I was going to Dehradun.

Buddy, I tried to cover for you,

but she caught me.

Lying to Suchi is really difficult.

And I've done it for 20 years.

Go.

Call Ajit and Punit. Go, do some work.

Memory is back, and so is the fucker.

Did you like the food?

What does 'hmm' mean?

How was it?

It was good.

What was your favorite dish? As a kid?

I'll learn from YouTube and make it tomorrow.

What do you really want?

Tell me! What would your mom make for you?

Come here.

You know, I don't want

to see my mom in you.

Listen, I was thinking…

See, the cat is out of the bag.

Tell me, what were you thinking?

Will you marry me?

Or will you put it off, like always?

Why are you stuck on this?

When people are together, they get married.

If they're together already, why marry?

To make the relationship official.

And who makes the relationship official?

The government?

One rubber stamp and suddenly we're 'official'.

What about Bobby?

I don't want the marriage certificate for me,

I want it for Bobby's future.

We know what we mean to each other,

but society needs proof, Rukma.

People will see Bobby as your son only when there's a marriage certificate.

But Bobby isn't my son.

What do you want? Property? Money?

Just tell me, I'll give you whatever you want.

Do you really think I'm with you for the money?

That's not what I meant.

I just worry about Bobby.

He shouldn't suffer for what I've done.

I'm here for you.

Whatever is mine is yours.

What is mine?!

If you die tomorrow, Bobby and I will be homeless!

I'm not going to die tomorrow.

Is that a guarantee?

I saw it on TV.

Even Pablo Escobar thought he wouldn't die.

But he did.

At least, he died leaving behind a wife, not a girlfriend.

I want to protect Bobby's future. That is all.

Listen, I don't know what the future holds.

But marriage and kids are definitely not in mine.

I don't sleep more than two nights in one place.

Do you really think…

That I should become a father to a child?

I can't do this.

-All patients moved? -Yes, sir.

-We moved them to a different ward. -Great.

Sorry about it, but it's a matter of national security.

We've set up our base here for a few days.

The minute our boss recovers, we will leave you alone.

It's okay, sir. We understand.

Thank you.

I've tracked all Northeastern profiles related to Project Guan Yu.

Just take a look and let me know.

No.

No, it's not any of them.

Why can't I remember him?

His face was a little different.

He was not a local.

-Do one thing. -Yes, sir.

Bring me a list of all active, non-local hostiles.

On it, sir.

Should I order more food for you?

Don't be jealous.

No, eat your fill.

It's government money.

The public is paying for this.

You're the most annoying patient ever!

Sir, here it is, a list of non-locals.

Take a look.

No.

No.

No.

It's none of them.

Is this all of them?

Yes, sir. That's it.

-Okay. -Hey!

What happened to you, Tiwari?

Earlier, if you saw someone once,

their face was etched in your memory forever.

Old age is upon you, Mr. Tiwari.

Punit, bring that to me.

Here, sir.

No.

This is him.

This is him.

-Yes! -You're sure, right?

I'm pretty sure.

-Let me call Sharma right away. -No! Don't call anyone.

For now, I want this to stay only between us.

Understood?

We can't trust anyone.

Five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four.

Five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four.

Five, six, seven, eight.

Look at that bomb.

She's so hot, bro.

I'm talking about Atharv, dumb-ass.

Our school's very own dancing queen.

One, two, three, four, five...

-Is everything okay? -Yes.

Okay, guys, I think we'll continue tomorrow.

Please practice at home.

I'll see you. Bye.

Atharv! Can you come here, please?

What happened to you today?

You're such a good dancer. Is everything okay?

I was not okay?

You can do better.

Don't worry. Let's try it again, okay?

-Sure. -Should I tell something?

He's got balls.

Going for a girl, that too, who's two years senior.

He's pretending to forget the steps just to get closer to Ameira.

I see, act like a goo in front of the girl you want to woo.

Five, six, seven, eight.

You're doing really well.

-Thank you so much. -Anytime.

I'm a huge fan of your videos on the dancing app, by the way.

You're an amazing dancer. Keep it up, okay?

Thank you, Ameira.

Please! What is wrong with you?

Call me Amy, okay?

-Sure. -I'll see you tomorrow, bye.

Hey, hotshot!

Ameira ma'am has told you to practice, hasn't she?

Come, let me help you practice.

I have to go home.

Baby wants to go home.

Listen, your dancing's a total fail,

but your acting? Solid A.

This little act of forgetting your steps, to get funky with Ameira.

It's so obvious. I can see through it.

It's nothing like that.

-Anyway, I need to go home. -Hey, stop!

Listen, you fruitcake, answer my question first.

What's your question?

He is running away.

Got the answer?

Rukmangadha Sinha.

The locals call him Rukma.

Look at this news article.

He was kidnapped as a child.

Without any help,

he killed his kidnappers with a kitchen knife and escaped.

He even got a Bravery award from the President.

Ex-BPF cadet?

He was caught helping drug smugglers.

He was dishonorably discharged from service.

BPF sepoy to a drug smuggler?

That's quite the change of heart.

It's always the same story, JK.

Power and money.

While in BPF, he must've seen how lucrative the drug trade is.

Family?

They disowned him after he was discharged from service.

He has no contact with them.

His current whereabouts are unknown.

Saloni, I…

I need a favor from you.

-Srikant... -Please!

Can you track him?

Without using your team.

How? What do you…

Do you know anyone in Narcotics?

That depends on what exactly you want to get done, Srikant.

Give a tip to the Narcotics department.

He's such a big smuggler.

They can raid him once and try to catch him, you know?

It's too much to ask, Srikant.

-Why can't you guys do it? -Saloni, I'm very sorry,

but I really want to keep this away from our agency.

Please,

I'll explain it to you later.

Saloni,

this man killed Kulkarni sir…

In front of my eyes.

Please.

Okay,

I know someone.

Let me talk to him.

Thank you.

And, a favor usually means asking for something small,

like grabbing cigarettes on the way.

Did you get some?

Cigarettes are off-limits.

Doctor's orders.

That was advice, not an order.

Same difference.

Major Sameer,

anything urgent?

I just wanted to see how you're doing.

So, is your Northeast job finished?

Yes, thank you. Absolutely.

'Thank you', 'Absolutely',

looks like my guy didn't do a good job.

I'll have to fix him up, I guess.

Your guy did a good job.

He's quite a guy, I must say.

So, killing the NIA Chief was your critical mission, right?

Officially or unofficially?

After such a high-profile murder, India will not stay silent.

Thank you for your concern.

They'll try to uncover every little detail of this case

and will retaliate.

You're going to need me,

and I'll be on your side, but only on one condition.

I need all the details of the mission, from the start.

No offense, but I'm not some contractor who's in it just for the money.

Like I said, thank you for your concern,

but I don't need you going forward.

I helped you, you helped me.

I'd say we're even now, aren't we?

What is this project about, Meera?

Don't ask questions you have no business asking.

Hello, Saloni.

Did you get any information?

Yes, I've got a possible lead on Rukma's location.

Great.

His girlfriend lives in a village in Arunachal Pradesh.

He might be with her.

Very good. What's the plan?

We've activated the Narcotics team.

They're going to lead this operation.

This is a massive lead for them as well.

-They're happy. -Full jackpot.

Okay, I'll keep you posted.

Thank you, Saloni.

Thank you very much.

He always used to talk about you.

He loved you like a son.

He was my guru…

My mentor.

He was like a father to me.

Hello, sir.

Hello, Srikant.

Chellam sir.

How's your hand?

It's all right, sir.

Sorry for your loss.

Thank you, sir.

Sir,

I need information on someone operating along the Myanmar border.

Srikant, what do you think?

I know everything that happens everywhere?

I thought… Sorry.

My condolences, sir.

Have you rejoined TASC?

I start next week.

Good.

This country owes Mr. Kulkarni a huge debt of gratitude.

May he rest in peace.

Thank you for coming.

Madam PM.

Madam PM.

Madam PM!

-Excuse me! -Stop!

-Stop it! -Let me go.

-Madam! -Srikant.

-Srikant, what are you doing? -Madam PM!

-Srikant, what's happening? -Madam. It's me. Srikant.

Madam.

-Madam! -Let him come.

Madam.

Let him come.

Madam.

Madam, I'm Srikant Tiwari from the TASC team.

How can I forget you? You saved my life.

Tell me, what is the matter?

I need to discuss something important with you about Kulkarni sir's case.

It's very urgent, ma'am.

This is not the place to talk about something like that.

I will schedule a proper meeting.

Come to my office. We can talk in detail then. Okay?

Take care.

Sambit.

Why do you want to meet the PM?

Sir, I saw the person who attacked us with my very eyes,

and I have identified him as well.

Who is it?

Rukma.

A very big drug smuggler from the Northeast.

Why would a drug smuggler kill Kulkarni sir?

I saw him, sir.

With my very own eyes.

Srikant, listen to me.

We have credible intel that the MCA-S is responsible for this attack.

This entire attack was orchestrated by David Khuzou's grandson, Stephen.

No.

No.

Sir, I'm very sorry to say that your credible intel is not credible at all.

Maybe Stephen hired this drug smuggler?

He wouldn't commit the murder himself, would he?

Yes, you're right, sir.

But I'm sure about one thing.

Stephen and MCA-S hate the drug business.

There's no way he would partner with a drug dealer.

He'd never hire a non-local or an outsider...

Maybe that was his plan?

If he uses a non-local, no one would ever suspect him.

Simple.

Maybe, but my gut feeling says...

Your gut feeling can't be a reason not to believe him.

The story is something else, sir.

It's quite important.

I'll fix a meeting with the PM as soon as possible.

Thank you, sir.

I'll stay in touch.

Okay, sir.

Thank you, sir.

Bye.

-Is everything going okay? -Yes, of course.

The collective is concerned, Meera.

The collective is always bloody concerned, Dwarak.

Don't worry about them.

Have faith in our plan.

Thanks to us, both the Indian public

and the opposition party have put so much pressure on Basu.

I will ensure everything escalates.

Things will start moving soon.

-Thank you, Barry. -Thank you, sir.

And who is this agent I'm hearing about?

What?

There's some agent, back in India, who is after the person,

you know, the man you hired to neutralize Kulkarni.

Srikant Tiwari… NIA, Mumbai Office.

Srikant who?

Srikant Tiwari.

Before this Tiwari becomes a problem for us, should we…

You know.

Bad idea.

By killing Kulkarni, we've already stirred up a storm in India.

I don't think this is the right time.

An intelligence agent, that too, in Mumbai?

No way.

-Meera? -Lloyd,

write this name down. Srikant Tiwari,

-look him up. -Copy.

I want everything on him.

Get ready, boys.

Remember, we don't fire unless fired upon.

We want Rukma alive.

We wait for nightfall,

and then we move in.

Fine.

Let me do one thing right in life.

Let's get married or whatever.

My grandma always says,

"Don't trust the promises that men make while in bed."

Trust me.

We'll have a grand wedding…

With all your rituals.

Really?

Nima!

Nima!

Get Bobby ready.

Bobby.

Bobby, get up.

-What happened, Mom? -Wear this. Fast!

Come.

Come.

Meet me near the car.

Stop!

-I won't hurt you. -Run!

Stop!

Nima.

Nima.

Ni...

Nima.

Hey.

Nima!

Hey!

Get up.

Nima?

Where's the kid?

Where's the kid?

Where's Mom?

Where's Mom?

-Come on. -Where's Mom? Mom got left behind.

-Hurry up. -Mom!

Mom!

Sit. Get in.

Can you reduce the volume?

Why?

Disturbs your music practice or what?

Yes, Saloni?

Oh!

Keep quiet!

Here, eat something.

And shut up.

Yes?

I'd warned you that India would retaliate.

They're after Rukma.

They aren't. It's just a single agent. I'll handle him.

Agent?

What's his name?

Srikant Tiwari.

Praise the lord!

What luck! You've got the best of enemies.

Srikant Tiwari.

He's the kind of thorn that never leaves your side.

Don't be so dramatic.

I say this because I know him well.

Don't take Srikant Tiwari lightly.

You still have time,

I can help you.

I don't need your help to handle a lone agent.

Like I said earlier,

back off, Major.

Lloyd, status?

Almost done.

How much longer?

The Lord is good to those who wait.

Here we go.

Okay.

Let's have some fun with Mr. Tiwari.
