What's with this touch-and-go visit, Sami?

Can't you leave after two days, brother?

I have to go, dear. Too much work waiting for me there.

Samad, we're from the DRI.

We're taking you into custody right now.

So, Samad...

did your arrest make the morning news?

No, nothing about my arrest.

And your face isn't in the obituaries either.

Samad...

You and I know you're not the one we're really after.

It's him.

Your best friend.

So, isn't it better that we reach an understanding?

Don't be so scornful, Samad.

13 B...

Landmark Pinnacle Apartment,

Canary Wharf, London.

Isn't that...

his current address?

I'm sure you've heard of them.

The ruthless mafia gang out in England called 'The Peckham Boys'.

If I wire £80,000 into their Barclays Bank account along with his address...

they'll finish him for me,

just the way I like.

Slash, stab, shoot, or burn him alive...

They'll execute it however I choose.

But I won't do that, Samad.

I need him right here.

Right before my eyes.

Alive.

Well, Raghavan sir...

Six months back,

the Peckham Boys got a similar contract.

Are you saying you had no idea about that?

Except, the rate wasn't the same.

The bounty was £20,000 more than your offer.

Because whoever placed that hit wanted

my best friend to bleed to a slow, agonising death through the night.

What's his name?

-Hey! -Dad! Dad!

You think you're my boss now?!

I couldn't wait until we had him here!

Shut it!

I'll kill you, you bloody dog!

Sir! Sir, please!

Stop laughing!

I'll wipe that smile off your face!

Panicker sir!

Take it.

It's your phone.

Panicker sir is going to give you a number.

You must dial it from your phone.

+44...

Just dial it!

Let's see what happens.

+44...

744...

8631...

798.

Show me!

Panicker sir!

Exactly as we guessed.

See?

This number's saved on his phone.

Aali, UK.

Aali is...

his friend Aamir Ali's nickname.

Isn't it?!

Here you go.

Samad, the DRI received the tip about you...

from this very number.

He doesn't want you back in Dubai, Samad.

You put your lives on the line to build that fortune...

and it's all sitting over there, isn't it?

If you stay trapped here, all of it...

becomes his.

I admire your confidence...

but it's pointless.

You have your phone right there, don't you?

Call him.

Let him be the one to tell you...

that he didn't betray you.

He would never betray me, sir!

And I don't need to call him just to prove that.

And what you showed me on the phone...

You faked it!

A betrayal.

Fine!

We get it, you trust him with your life.

But for our sake, make the call.

Samad, don't hold back out of concern for his safety.

As long as there's no active extradition treaty between India and Britain,

he's safe over there.

So, call him.

Aali!

I am in Kozhikode, at the DRI office.

Raghavan sir is here too.

They're putting on this whole act, showing me a text they claim you sent.

They claim you ratted me out.

You're on speaker.

Tell them yourself.

That even if we were facing death...

neither of us would ever betray the other.

Can't you hear me?

Hello, Aali!

Can't you hear me?

Aali!

Hello?

They're telling the truth, Sami.

It was me who ratted you out.

Hello? Hello, Aali?

Aali? Hey!

Hello?!

What a shame!

Who will lift the 11th Koyappa Ever-Rolling Trophy?

Just one single ball left to decide it all!

Mukkam Stars need three runs off one ball to win against Kings of Koduvally!

Bowling the final delivery for the Kings of Koduvally...

their star bowler, the McGrath of Malabar,

Aamir Ali!

♪ Like purest essence, shining bright Lighting every land with light ♪

♪ Today a mighty seed is sown To claim this very land its own ♪

♪ A thousand warriors' strength in hand A legend's blade none can withstand ♪

♪ Even the Lord pauses in awe To witness all He truly saw ♪

♪ The Don of Malabar ♪

♪ The fever in the air ♪

♪ The Don of Malabar ♪

Aali!

Knock his stumps out!

Why?

♪ The Don of Malabar ♪

♪ Our saviour through despair! ♪

Sami!

Samad drops the catch!

The ball rolls to the boundary... and it's a FOUR!

♪ God's own shining bow is he ♪

♪ Bearing the Almighty across every sea ♪

♪ What a spectacle his game shall be! ♪

♪ What a court of majesty! ♪

To be frank, Aali...

Your bowling was terrible today.

That's the real reason we lost.

Don't blame me when you dropped a absolute sitter.

Anyone would drop a catch with the sun glaring like that!

Your loose bowling is responsible for this!

Very loose bowling. I'll say it anywhere.

Fine! Get off the bike for now.

Okay, see you this evening.

Hey! That runner-up trophy better be at the club in the evening.

I'll think about it.

-Aren't you coming in, Aali? -No, Aishumma.

I have to get home and take my mom to Balussheri.

Give my regards to Noorjahan.

I will.

You won this?

What did you think of me, Mom?

Now serve up some food. I'm starving!

-Hold this. -Come!

Isn't there an end to this?

Eat it!

Mom, this is pure carbs!

I was going to stick to a salad, but you dragged me here.

Having a bit of rice once in a while won't ruin your body.

Besides...

you have more than enough muscle just to manage a textile shop.

Mom... we've been over this so many times.

Exclusive Men's Fashion Hub.

Don't insult it by calling it a textile shop.

Fine, agreed.

Have some more now.

I've had enough!

-What's all the commotion about? -It's nothing!

Hey!

How many times do I have to tell you?

You don't need to stand up mid-meal to show respect.

Relax, Dad, I wasn't showing respect.

I finished eating. Is it fine if I go wash my hands?

You should try going on a diet too.

Shut up!

-Are you heading out? -Yes, I must get going.

Tell your father... I will visit him once this rush settles.

Alright then.

Yes, sister.

He's always so lost in thought these days.

And when we ask him why, he won't say a word.

What is this, Dad?

You should come stay with me in Koduvally for a while.

-What do you say? -That's a great idea, Mom!

At least he can keep me company.

Grandpa! When we leave today, you're coming with us, okay?

I will come.

There's only one thing...

I truly want to live to see and be a part of.

Your wedding.

If you can grant me this wish,

I'll gladly come.

Dad,

as your daughter Noorjahan, I promise you this...

I will get Aali married before this Ramadan.

You have my word!

Mom, what's wrong with you?

Just because Grandpa said something out of anxiety...

you're taking it seriously?

A wedding before Ramadan? Seriously?

It's more than just anxiety, Aali.

I know it's my father's last wish to see you wed.

Wait, why do you panic when talking about your wedding?

Tell me the truth.

Is there something wrong with you?

I'll throw you out of the car.

Oh please.

Listen, Aali.

I have a clear picture in mind for the girl you should marry.

Oh, really?

Yeah!

When I went to Pathu's daughter's engagement at Chundayil...

I saw a girl who fits that picture perfectly!

So well-behaved!

Gorgeous, too. Just the right match for you.

But looking at their financial situation...

Oh, so you're judging that too.

Of course! Shouldn't they match our status?

Yeah, obviously.

Well...

Who is this girl you saw?

She's Pathu's new neighbour.

You know the house in front of our post office?

Anthrukka's house? They're the new tenants there.

A teacher and her two daughters.

She's the elder one.

It's already ten. She must have left.

You took forever to get ready!

Look! There's Raziya, Pathumma's daughter.

-So? -No, you don't get it.

They walk to computer class together.

Fiza!

She's bound to show up now.

Let's follow them.

Hey!

Raziya!

Ali Ikka!

Sorry I missed your engagement...

but I'll definitely make it to the wedding.

You must be Fiza, right?

Do you know her?

Well, let's just say...

my mother told me about her.

Mom says the picture in her mind for my bride...

has a face just like yours.

That's alright.

Can you not manage this shop instead?

Sorry, Grandpa Hamza.

No interest.

Please do not ask me to adjust once again, Minister.

I can't do that anymore.

That's the reality of my situation.

Sahib, I ordered 8 Crores worth of most modern construction equipment...

from Liebherr in Germany six months ago,

counting on my bill being cleared.

That container arrives at Kochi port tomorrow.

I even mortgaged our ancestral home, the place we live in,

just to scrounge up the temporary funds.

I understand your situation, Younus.

But, you know...

I can't clear this on my own authority.

Even so, give it a few more days.

Let me try one more time.

Also...

you need to go see Raghavan sir, the Party Secretary.

You know how coalitions work.

With just one word from him...

your problem will be...

solved in minutes.

Aali...

I know what you're thinking.

I've faced plenty of crises like this before.

And I've overcome every single one of them.

Which is why...

I didn't mention any of this to you or your mother.

But this time, I don't know...

I am afraid it is getting out of hand.

I just wanted you to be aware of what's happening.

That's the reason I brought you along today.

Like the Minister suggested...

should we go see the Party Secretary Raghavan sir?

Yes, we should.

But first, let's get our shipment delivered tomorrow.

-Namaste, Sahib! -Namaste.

-Have they started? -Yes.

This is Gopakumar, our customs broker.

Come quickly. They're waiting for us inside.

Gopakumar, is this the party?

-Yes, sir. -Namaste.

-Open it. -Okay, sir.

The valuation is correct, sir.

No dutiable goods found.

-Issue the out-of-charge order then. -Okay, sir.

Sir!

This item is unlisted.

Are you sure it's not on the list?

Yes, sir.

This is a dutiable item.

It is only a clock, sir. Can't you let it slide?

Let me see.

Sir, this...

Sir, I swear I know nothing about this. I'm innocent.

That may be true.

But in such circumstances, the recipient is held responsible.

So, you'll have to come with us now, Mr.Younus.

-You're his son, right? -Yes.

Let your father come with us now.

Don't panic.

Follow us down to the customs office.

We will talk further there.

Sir, my dad is innocent.

As I said... we will discuss this there.

[Gopakumar] No, they brought him to the office.

He's inside right now.

Is it?

Okay.

-Ma'am... -Yes?

My dad has been in there for a long time.

Please wait. The officer will call you.

This stands as one of the most significant gold busts Customs has made recently.

We estimate the value to be around two crore rupees.

And... this man is the accused.

-Dad!! -Aali!

Hailing from Koduvally, Kozhikode.

Younus Ali.

While he may not be a familiar face to you...

Mr. Younus carries a heavy legacy.

A legacy that both Customs and the media of this state...

cannot easily forget.

Maambraykkal Ahmed Ali.

Strict acts like COFEPOSA...

were drafted specifically to deal with this notorious star smuggler.

And Ahmed Ali's only son...

is this man, Younus Ali.

Unlike his father, Younus had no desire to be publicly known as a smuggler.

Therefore, he conducted his dealings with utmost caution.

By profession, Younus is a PWD contractor.

But a jewellery shop founded by Ahmed Ali in Koduvally...

is still being run by him today.

He used this shop as a cover...

for all his illegal activities.

Okay, sir. I'll call you back.

Thank you.

It's going to be tough. COFEPOSA has been imposed.

That means preventive detention for up to a year.

We must deposit thirty percent of the seized gold's value...

before we can even file an appeal.

-They valued it at two crores, right? -Yes, sir.

So, thirty percent of two crores...

means we need sixty lakhs.

You need to raise that amount immediately.

Only then can we move forward.

I'll arrange it, sir.

I'll do it immediately.

But before that...

Can I see my father?

Yes, I will arrange it. Don't worry.

[DISTRICT JAIL, ERNAKULAM]

How are your mom and Fiza holding up?

They called me a little while ago.

Customs raided the house as well.

Dad.

Do you have any enemies in the business?

There are plenty of them.

But I don't think any of them are behind this.

Then?

About two months ago...

Party Secretary Punnavel Raghavan's PA called me.

He said he needed to see me urgently.

So I went to meet him.

Hi, Younus.

-Raghavan sir. -How have you been?

You know him, right? Harris Basheer.

Yes, I do.

Calicut Global's...

Yes, he's the MD.

Beyond healthcare, hospitality, and construction...

he owns nearly a hundred jewellery branches across the country and overseas.

He's like a younger brother to me.

I'm sorry. Got caught up in a meeting.

-Please. -Thank you.

I've heard a lot about your father, Younus.

He's been a huge inspiration to me.

Well, that's amusing.

Listen, Harris...

Younus isn't interested in any of that.

Otherwise, even with all the infrastructure his father built right in his grasp...

why would he do this government contract work?

Younus...

We need your help.

The container with the construction equipment you ordered from Germany,

is scheduled to arrive at Dubai port next week for transit, right?

If you permit,

Younus...

our men at the port will re-stuff the container in complete secrecy.

Harris has all the necessary arrangements in place at Dubai.

When the re-stuffed container reaches Kochi,

it will contain about hundred kilos of our goods.

Don't look so alarmed.

It's gold.

We'll make sure there are zero hiccups at the Kochi port as well.

You only have to receive it and deliver it to us safely.

In return,

your pending government bills worth crores,

which have been gathering dust on desks for months...

I will have them cleared.

In a matter of minutes.

And what did you tell them, Dad?

Raghavan sir...

Ever since I was old enough to know better,

I vowed never to walk my father's path.

And I'll take that vow to my grave.

Your government is unfairly holding the money...

I rightfully earned through clean, honest labour.

And I don't need to stoop to a crooked deal like this to get it.

I don't know what happened after that, Ali.

Even if I tell the truth now, who's going to believe me?

COFEPOSA...

That's the story they're going with?

Do you know, Aali?

Up North,

ruled Sukur Narain Bakhia and Haji Mastan.

Down here in the South, it was Mudaliyar...

and your grandfather.

Maambraykkal Ahmed Ali.

The four of them were an absolute nightmare for Mrs. Gandhi.

That's what drove her to enact COFEPOSA in Parliament back in '74.

Along with MISA...

and DISIR...

not to mention the Emergency itself.

Bakhia, Mastan, and Mudaliyar were crushed by it.

Yet, even with all the weight of that COFEPOSA law...

she couldn't keep Ahmed Ali behind bars for even half an hour.

And today, they frame our innocent boy Younus--

Aali, meet Sebastian, the officer I told you about.

Former Customs Commissioner.

Please come in.

-Has she arrived yet? -Yes, she has.

She's just freshening up.

When Mr. Hamza asks for a favour...

it's not something I can just ignore.

Neither back then...

nor now.

Aamir. That's your name, right?

Yes.

I'm not doing this just because my dad asked me to.

I agreed to meet you because your father's case actually looks genuine.

Besides, between the two of us, I can speak completely openly.

For years, Customs and the smugglers in our state...

have operated on a mutual understanding.

To put up a smokescreen for the public and the media...

smugglers themselves will occasionally surrender a carrier to Customs.

Most of the time, it's just some poor, desperate expat...

hired for a tiny commission

to carry half a kilo or a kilo of gold...

hidden inside milk powder tins or their underwear.

That is the massive 'gold hunt' you see splashed across the news.

But this time, the usual routine wasn't enough.

Mathrubhumi ran a major exposé titled 'The Unseen Side of Gold Smuggling'...

about two months ago.

With that, catching someone with half a kilo or a kilo wasn't going to cut it.

This time, they needed a specific face...

that they could point fingers at.

That's how they zeroed in on your father.

Who...

Who exactly are 'they'?

I cannot give you names.

But from what I've gathered...

They approached your father a while ago...

with a plan to run a large-scale operation using his consignment as a front.

[Priya] With your grandfather's notorious past...

and that jewellery shop in Koduvally...

your father was the most believable scapegoat they could find.

Aali.

To free my father, why should I sell my mother's and wife's gold...

or go around begging the locals for money?

They are the ones who trapped him.

Punnavel Raghavan and Harris Basheer.

So shouldn't my father's freedom be bought with their money?

What's on your mind?

An ambush.

On their next run...

I'm gonna ambush them.

Attaboy!

Fight fire with fire!

That's how you prove you're the true grandson of Mambaraykkal Ahmed Ali!

Don't worry about selling the gold from the ambush.

There are plenty of ways for that.

Listen, Aali...

Don't get reckless listening to these washed-up old smugglers.

Pulling an ambush is a dangerous game.

It won't end well for us.

Then what choice do I have?

With our bills frozen, even my house deed is mortgaged.

Even if I want to sell the textile shop...

can we find a buyer on such short notice?

I have no other way out, Sami.

You haven't said anything.

Do whatever feels right to you, Ikka.

We need to bring your father back home, no matter what.

[Hamza] Their main smuggling route...

is through the Trivandrum airport, backed by Raghavan's political clout.

Gold rarely comes through Karipur.

But from what I've gathered,

there's a plan to move ten kilos through Karipur...

within the next two weeks.

They're using a family of three as carriers.

Right now, it's set for the 28th.

But it could get postponed too.

The other shipment goes by road.

They're moving six kilos of gold from here to Mysore tomorrow night.

But hitting that is high risk.

Is everything okay?

What's the plan, punk? You here to pull an ambush?

Who are you?

Never seen you around.

The name's Aamir Ali.

Son of Younus Ali, the man Customs arrested for gold smuggling the other day.

I need ten million rupees to fight my father's case.

So...

I'm taking three of them.

Why stop at three?

If you've got what it takes, take the whole damn lot.

I've got what it takes.

But I don't need all of it.

I know my blood carries all the traits of a master smuggler.

Go tell your old man

not to fuel that fire.

Hey, Hamza!

It's been ages!

-How have you been? -I'm doing well.

Saittuji, this is Aamir.

Aamir...

The Great Ahmed Ali's grandson...

You know...

We were friends...

Partners...

Brothers.

Come. Come with me.

-You need the cash in Kochi, right? -Yes.

It'll be ready on the date you say.

If you need any help, you can always ask me.

Let this case be over

and Younus be freed as soon as possible.

Saittuji.

We may not be doing business anymore,

but we had built certain ground rules together in the past.

Which you've conveniently forgotten.

Like this one right here.

The unwritten rule between us was never to entertain...

stray dogs peddling ambushed gold.

Harris.

Before we get to that,

let me remind you of some other rules we had in this business.

One of them was...

not to sacrifice innocents,

for our own safety.

And yet...

you did exactly that.

What's worse...

you did it to Ahmed Ali's family.

As long as Aamir needs my help,

I'll be there for him.

So, it's clear.

You've taken your stand, Saittuji.

Good. Good!

Aamir.

With the money from that ambushed gold...

you might manage to bail your father out.

But...

it doesn't just end there, does it?

Your father's pending bills worth crores are still gathering dust

on Kerala Government's office desks.

I can overlook the fact that you ambushed my gold.

But...

you laying your damn hands on him...

Sir, I beg you! Please approve my bill--

My bill?

Younus, your bill isn't going to get passed.

Your company is officially blacklisted.

He'd never agree if I tell him.

So, you need the cash in dollars in Dubai next week, right?

-Yes. -Okay then.

Hang up. I'll let him know.

Brother...

Word is Aamir just bought gold from the Iranian at the Old Souk.

Is that so?

Very good.

Make a call to our boys at Fujairah.

[Sait] Hello, Aamir.

Have you left yet?

We are still packing.

We'll head out in half an hour.

I called to tell you that...

there's a Customs officer named Veerasami at Coimbatore Airport.

He's my man.

If there's any emergency,

he's there for you.

Thank you, Saittuji.

Sami!

Isn't the flight on time?

Dude, we--

Aali.

Don't let those guys behind us get ahead.

They're Harris Basheer's men.

Don't let them block us, no matter what!

Floor it!

We need back up!

Send them fast!

Look! What the hell! We lost them!

-Okay, dude. -Rahim!

COIMBATORE

Yeah, Sudarshan. Tell me.

[Sudarshan] Those guys have landed at Coimbatore airport, sir.

Don't worry, sir.

I'll take care of everything, sir.

Okay, sir.

Sir, this way, please.

Your passport?

Next!

[indistinct chatter]

Hey! Zoom in!

Yes, sir.

Two people exiting the restroom. Search them.

Yes, sir. Come.

Step aside, sir.

-Please co-operate. -You too, sir.

This way.

Everybody, please step out.

-Step out, please. -Please co-operate.

All of you, step out.

-Which flight? -Air Oman, sir.

Okay.

Give it.

Hey, that one!

The second monitor!

Hey, come over here.

Check there.

Check over there.

Check that. Open it up and see.

Search is complete, sir. All clear.

Hey! We have solid information.

Where have you hidden the gold?

Sir, we don't know anything about that.

Oh, really?

Calicut has its own airport, doesn't it?

Why fly all the way into Coimbatore instead?

Sir, well...

We're here for a friend's wedding.

In Palakkad... This was just the closest airport.

Okay.

Then give me this friend's address.

Hey! Why are you staring at him?

Give me the address of the friend in Palakkad right now.

Sir, we swept the entire restroom.

Did a thorough check. Nothing there.

Looks like a bad tip, sir.

Okay. Really?

Sir, a guy named Vignesh actually lives at that address.

And he really is getting married tomorrow.

He confirmed these two are his old friends, sir.

You!

Tell me! Where did you hide the gold?

You will not leave until you tell me.

Sir, we are telling you the truth.

You've seen everything we have on us. Nothing's hidden.

Your tip was wrong.

Sir!

We swept the entire washroom area. Clean slate.

Get lost!

Sir, these phones feel suspiciously heavy.

We need to inspect them.

You think you can fool me, you piece of shit?!

I'll tear you apart!

Here. Check the weight and purity.

- Sir! -Sudarshan, what's up?

We got them, sir.

Yes, sir. We have secured the gold, sir.

-What's next? -Sir...

Don't you worry, sir.

I'm here for you.

They won't be getting out anytime soon!

What?

What happened?

Sir, this isn't gold. It's the original battery.

[Sait] He's my man.

If there's any emergency,

- he's there for you. -Thank you, Saittuji.

Sami!

What's this for?

Need to know what we're walking into, right?

They're cheap Chinese phones for poor folks, sir.

Bound to have extra weight.

Packs plenty of heat, too.

[Sudarshan] Sir! Believe me, sir!

No one on the 9:40 Indian Airways flight walked out with gold on them.

I'm sorry, Aamir.

I should have remembered...

that Chandan Sait's glory days are long gone.

It's alright.

If my own children can betray me...

why expect loyalty from someone like Veerasami?

But still...

can we simply admit defeat, Saittuji?

Aamir?

We'll be taking the Indian Airways flight out of Dubai,

landing in Coimbatore at 9:40 a.m. on the 27th.

Exactly ten minutes before that,

at 9:30 AM, an Air Oman flight from Muscat lands there.

Immigration and baggage clearance for both will happen simultaneously.

Coimbatore airport usually doesn't have any checks at the arrival terminal.

If that changes, it means they've received a tip-off.

Even then, they'll only check passengers from that specific flight.

So?

So,

on the Air Oman flight landing at 9:30 a.m. on the 27th,

we need four of our trusted passengers on board.

In case a tip-off goes against us...

those four will be our back-up plan.

With that, Saittu, who was biding his time for a second innings,

was ready to offer any amount in advance for the business.

That day,

right before Chandan Saittu's eyes,

another Ahmed Ali was born.

You are the successor, Aamir!

My Ahmed Ali's...

rightful successor.

The heir to the throne.

PRESENT DAY

Son, fetch me your grandfather's towel, will you?

Ikka, you can lie back comfortably now.

Are you okay?

What are you looking at?

You and your grand protection.

One day I'll be taking all of you in.

Come.

Ah!

We're conducting a search.

What is this now, sir?

You just tore this house apart last week.

Well, that's how it works.

We'll raid the houses of smugglers and murderers

every single day if we have to.

Don't just stand there, tear the place apart!

Well, well!

Where do you think you're going?

Don't move!

Stay right where you are!

Fiza!

What are you doing on the computer?

Watching a movie?

Listen, Fiza...

Your mother-in-law asked why we're back after tossing the place last week.

The poor lady doesn't realise...

how hard it's been for me to go a whole week without seeing you.

It's been a real difficulty for me, Fiza.

An absolute difficulty.

[Aamir] Salim sir!

Salim sir, this is Aamir.

I have one humble request.

Don't force me to stoop to your level, sir.

That will become a difficulty for me.

I'm barely three miles away...

from London Metropolitan University, where your son, Jimshi, is doing his Masters.

If you ever step into my house again and pull a stunt,

I'll grab your son right out of there.

I'll thrash him to a pulp,

tear up his passport, frame him for drugs, and rot him in a UK jail.

You!

This isn't an empty threat, sir.

I swear on my mother, I'll do it.

If you think I'm not capable of it,

then by all means, test me.

[Sait] In war, the soldiers have just one plan.

To follow the king's order.

But, the true king is the one...

- Greetings. - When did you get here, Koshy?

I heard the news this morning and left immediately.

Ah.

- Also, Raghavetta... - Mm?

Saittu called me from Mysore two days ago.

He told me that...

he'd supply the goods at 5% lower than your price.

You can already guess my reply.

I said I do not come from a family of traitors.

When he heard that, he claimed he forgot his BP medicine,

hung up the phone and scurried off just like that!

Saittu is trying to use that boy...

to stage a comeback, Raghavetta.

Stay alert.

Raviprasad. Customs Commissioner, Calicut.

I'll come straight to the point.

You can move thirty kilos of gold daily, through Karipur.

With full Customs support.

No questions asked.

Our cut is sixty thousand rupees per kilo.

Which means...

for thirty kilos per day...

eighteen lakhs.

However, to keep the public and the media off our backs,

you must surrender ten kilos of gold

and two of your carriers to us, every month.

If you agree,

two crores in advance and we're all set.

I don't agree.

I won't hand over a single one of my men or a gram of gold.

Instead, I'll add two lakhs to your cut per day.

I'll give you twenty lakhs a day.

If you accept,

right here and right now...

I will pay five crores in advance.

Even without your assistance,

I'm already smuggling all the gold I want, sir.

And I know how to continue doing it perfectly well.

So...

I will dictate the terms here.

Do we have a deal?

♪ Can you hear the mighty growl? Lion Ali is on the prowl! ♪

♪ The notorious one, the nemesis of the elites ♪

Aamir dropped by yesterday, paid off the full amount, and closed the loan.

He specifically asked me to come here in person to return your collateral documents.

I was sixteen...

when I saw my father for the last time.

My mother died in agony, constantly worrying about him.

The one place where I wished you would never end up...

That's exactly where you're standing today.

And the guilt that I am the one responsible for it

will haunt me to my grave, Aali.

The misery I suffered because of my father...

this child must never go through that.

I planned this brand expansion putting my full trust in you, Raghavetta.

That's the only reason I'm travelling all over the world.

And now you're telling me our total turnover has dropped 20%?

How can we survive?

Ikka... I told you, right?

Companies like the KPM group, who only did business with us for years...

and several other retailers are buying their gold from them now.

From Saittu and that Aamir.

That's the main reason for this drop.

Actually...

we can't blame the retailers.

Compared to our rates,

Saittu sells gold at a massive discount.

First, it was 5%.

Now, he's pushed it to 10%.

And with that, that absolute scoundrel...

Koshy jumped ship too.

Alright.

Let's talk to Saittu.

I think it's the right time for that.

Didn't we all agree on this rate together, Saittuji?

And now...

No!

You all decided it.

I was not a part of it.

Listen, Saittuji...

Even our patience has its limits.

Don't forget that.

Okay, Okay.

Saittuji, just to avoid a clash with you,

we are also willing to cut our rates by 10%.

But if we match that,

you must promise not to go any lower

and undercut our business, Saittuji.

Don't you know how business works, Harris?

If you lower the rate,

we'll lower the rates further,

to retain our customers.

That is entirely our choice.

If you have anything else to say,

tell me.

Good morning, sir.

Good morning.

Sir!

Sir...

Guards!

Guards!

Hey! Don't stop him.

He's our man.

Sorry, sir.

Come.

Sir.

Don't bother about my political career or my image.

Everything I have is because of you, Saittuppa.

Just tell me what you need done.

Ratnam... Take it easy.

I don't need anything else right now.

Aamir! Come, come, come, come.

This is Aamir, the one I told you about.

Greetings, brother.

Ratnavel Maaran.

The Central Minister for Aviation...

My friend.

Oh no, I wouldn't dare call myself his friend.

He is like God to me.

It's because of him that...

Sir...

Don't exert yourself.

Take care of your health.

I have a public meeting to attend.

So I must head out now.

Bye.

Nice meeting you, brother.

It was a hired professional.

Harris and Raghavan put the hit out.

I have the details.

A Goan.

He's dead now.

Harris and Raghavan.

What do you want me to do?

Revenge is easy, Aamir.

But...

we don't need that right now.

We can't afford to have a war in our business.

Especially now.

Right now, we must fight

with brains.

In...

Aamir Ali style.

Something that will make them powerless against us.

The Union minister who just left...

Can you get me an appointment with him?

Just for ten minutes.

Why not?

I'll ask him to come back right now.

No, no need for that.

I'll go and meet him.

Okay.

Sir.

We are from Revenue Intelligence Headquarters, New Delhi.

If you don't mind, we want to check your baggage.

What? Do you want to check my baggage?

I'm a diplomat.

My belief is that diplomats...

have some exemptions in this country, isn't it?

Of course, sir.

But... we got this directive from the Central Government.

So, kindly co-operate with us.

[speaking Arabic]

- He is pissing me off. - Sorry, sir.

We don't want to trouble you any more.

So... you may go.

But...

your staff should come with us.

Check inside.

Check that one.

Sir...

We did this under Party Secretary Raghavan's orders.

The gold...

It belongs to Harris Basheer, the MD of Calicut Global.

Enough.

Yes?

Gold Thief Raghavan! Gold Thief Raghavan!

Resign and step out, Mr. Raghavan!

Gold bust at Thiruvananthapuram airport!

A huge criminal conspiracy unearthed!

Revenue Intelligence officers foiled an attempt

to smuggle gold through diplomatic channels-

[protestors shouting slogans against Raghavan]

The opposition is leading a series of protests across the state...

demanding the resignation of Punnavel Raghavan,

the Secretary of the Indian Labour Party.

[protestors demanding resignation of Punnavel Raghavan]

Gold Thief Raghavan! Gold Thief Raghavan!

As for the Secretary's post...

I'll tender my resignation.

But everything must end there.

There must be no investigation...

against me or Harris.

By losing the election or trading votes, or doing whatever it takes,

you make sure you handle the powers at the Centre.

Sir, protests are continuing strongly.

What do you have to say?

Who will be the new Secretary?

[indistinct chatter]

Implicated in the gold smuggling scandal,

and following statewide protests across Kerala,

Party Secretary Punnavel Raghavan has resigned from his Secretary post.

[sloganeering]

This resignation comes as a major blow

to Punnavel Raghavan's unquestioned dominance in the party,

igniting a massive internal rift within the party.

Party Secretary Punnavel Raghavan has resigned from his Secretary post.

I'll see you tomorrow. Bye.

- Hello, Aali. - [Aamir] Has she arrived?

I've picked her up.

- You aren't alone, are you? - Don't worry. Vishnu and his team...

are right behind us.

- Take the regular route. - Done.

So, aren't you going back to Dubai, Rahim?

Yeah, I am.

I'll go there next week,

- and Samad will come here. - Oh!

Swapping shifts?

No, nothing like that.

If it's Rahim, pass the phone to me.

Hello?

This is Harris, Aamir.

Harris Basheer.

You probably haven't heard the news yet.

Because it just happened now.

The thirty kilos of gold you ran through Karipur...

our men just ambushed it.

This is Raghavan!

The former Party Secretary!

Starting today, Aamir...

No matter which corner of India you bring gold into...

it all belongs to us.

We won't leave

even a single grain

for you or your Saittu.

Aamir...

Stop us if you can!

Vaishnavi!

Vaish...

Vaishnavi...

[Vaishnavi] He's my neighbour.

I've known him since childhood.

Once I get married,

I'm quitting this job for good.

A quiet, peaceful life.

That's my dream.

I know...

you just want to be with your family, too.

Once you sort out all your problems,

walk away from everything, Aamir.

Please.

Handle it however you want!

But make sure it looks like a normal hit-and-run.

That's how the papers should report it tomorrow.

- Okay. - I'll call you.

That was the DySP.

- Dad. - Hmm?

William sir from Customs just called.

He said tomorrow's consignment arrives on the 10:10 a.m. Indian Airways flight.

Do we have the passenger details?

Yes.

But the ticket is booked under his name...

Aamir's.

Apparently, he's bringing the gold himself tomorrow.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Please fasten your seat belts.

Hey! Hey!

This is an old-school trap engineered back in my grandfather's prime.

Legend has it...

this was his own invention.

Once you're trapped, there's no way out.

What are you going to do?

Are you going to kill us?!

Go ahead!

Harris...

See!

Hello?

So Raghavan sir, here's how things stand.

Your boy is trapped.

My people will be at your office shortly.

They'll wait exactly ten minutes.

By then, if you don't hand over

every last gram of my gold you ambushed yesterday,

the next bomb goes off right here,

right on his chest.

You deserve to die, Vinayakan.

Vaishnavi was getting married in two days.

She was only doing this job to pay for it.

Get out of my sight. Now.

If you stay any longer...

I might do something terrible.

Govindan!

Govindan!

Govindan!

Aargh! Turn around!

Fiza!

[Samad] In that accident,

Vinayakan was killed.

The rest of them

were critically injured.

At Saittu's insistence,

aboard a passenger ship from Goa,

via Dubai,

Aamir left for England.

He never smuggled gold after that.

Estate management,

software business...

He's been in England for the past four years managing all that.

Here. I need your signature on this.

Don't worry.

You'll be listed as an approver in all the cases against him.

Sign it!

Harris...

From the moment we learned that Aamir had tipped off the DRI about Samad,

he and I have been trying to get hold of you.

But you weren't reachable.

So tell us clearly what went down.

We didn't win this time either, Raghavetta.

He did.

Aamir!

Aali, I don't understand.

Why did you rat Samad out?

I haven't told you everything, Rahim.

Sami's life in Dubai without you and me around...

It got completely out of hand.

A joint account loaded with cash to blow.

A Downtown penthouse, exotic cars...

plus booze, drugs, and a bunch of new friends to hang out with.

I warned him so many times, both gently and sternly.

When I realised I had no other choice,

I blocked our joint accounts in Dubai.

That's when he started smuggling on his own behind my back.

You know the rest.

On his very first trip, Customs seized his gold at Karipur.

And that got him slapped with COFEPOSA back home.

Shit!

When Samad was completely broke and hit rock bottom,

my men approached him with a massive offer for a domestic drug trafficking deal.

The day after he returns to Dubai from his sister's wedding,

Samad would start the business.

By day two...

he would be in Dubai Police custody with drugs.

But... for the most severe offence in that country,

the prime accused wouldn't be him.

It would be Aamir.

I had made all the arrangements

for that myself.

This case would have definitely forced Aamir out to Dubai.

And from there, gradually back home.

This was my plan, Raghavetta...

the one Aamir ruined by tipping off the DRI!

This waiting game we've been playing for him...

It's time we put an end to it, Raghavetta.

That's what I feel.

Ganesh!

[in Hindi] Someone has broken in.

Go check over there. Quick!

Kanchi! What is it? What's happening there?

Ikka!

What is it?

What's happening there?

Fiza! Shut the door!

- Mom! - Son!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Move!

Move!

Quick!

Move fast!

Come quickly, dear!

This way!

Ikka!

Mom!

Come!

Come quickly!

Ikka!

- Go! - No! No!

Leave with the child!

Ikka!

Ikka!

Open the door!

Ikka!

Ikka!

Ikka!

This is Harris, Aamir.

Harris Basheer.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

When you land in Kerala, the police will spin all kinds of theories

about your father's death.

They'll blame the Kuruva gang or some North Indian robbers.

Don't believe a word.

It was my men who killed your father.

I didn't want to bring this bloodshed to your doorstep.

But I couldn't think of any other way,

to force you back to Kerala.

Anyway,

like I said,

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Reshma, we have confirmation that Aamir Ali

arrives on the 12:30 PM Emirati flight.

A joint force of Customs, Police, and the DRI...

is stationed inside and around the airport.

Aamir Ali has just been taken into police custody

for the murder of Vinayakan,

son of former Finance Minister and Party Secretary, Punnavel Raghavan.

Tell them to move!

Move away! Move back!

Anjana, what's the immediate legal procedure here?

Naturally, he'll be taken to court next, I suppose.

Will the police file for custody?

What is the police strategy--

Move!

Hashmi, as expected, the court has denied Aamir Ali's bail.

Since the Police didn't file for custody,

the accused has been remanded for two weeks.

However, the court granted Aamir Ali's request

to attend his father's funeral.

Aali!

They shifted me to this cell

right before you arrived.

They're planning something,

I am certain.

What you did was stupid!

You could have escaped from the burial ground, right?

Where to, Sami?

The day he learned I was responsible for Vinayakan's death, my Dad collapsed.

I didn't want to cause him any more pain.

That's why I walked away from everything and stayed low.

Now, what's left to hold me back?

All of this has to end somewhere.

At the very least, Mom, Fiza, and my son must stay safe.

You! What's going on?

Neither of you slept?

Aamir, come with me.

- There is something. - What is it, sir?

You stay out of this!

Get back in your corner and sleep!

Hey. Come outside, Aamir.

Aamir!

Thirty minutes.

That's how long the Superintendent has given us.

We have to wrap this up and get out by then.

Hey!

These are the men...

who stormed your house.

We could have taken you out

in any corner of the world.

Yet, why didn't we just do that?

Did you ever stop to think about that even once, Aamir?

This!

This was the sole reason!

Sorry, sir.

He has over sixty percent burns.

We might be able to save his life...

But...

Ikka!

Don't let anyone see me like this.

Don't let anyone see me like this.

So, you don't want to watch him die?

I want you to witness that.

Hold onto life for one reason alone.

To watch him die.

Vinayakan!

You're such a miserable wretch!

Who else would listen to him,

endure such horrific pain all this while,

just to wait around and watch me die?

What did you think, man?

That I surrendered to let you have your revenge?

I have come...

to settle the debt for my father's life!

Oh, Aamir...

Look!

Trapped right under his feet,

choking, gasping, and begging for air...

that's how your old man breathed his last.

So that debt...

If we just lock you in here now

and slaughter you like a dog, how will that be settled, Aamir?

Huh?

♪ Can you hear the mighty growl? Lion Ali is on the prowl ♪

♪ The notorious one, the nemesis of the elites ♪

Hey! Wake up! Come on!

Yes, sir.

You've been through enough hell for a lifetime.

If you... come after me again...

Whatever happens inside the jail,

the responsibility falls straight on the Superintendent.

Right, sir?

So I'll leave the rest of this to you, sir.

Gowtham, just ten kilometres outside of Kannur,

prominent businessman Harris Basheer's car

has been found submerged in the Kattappally Dam.

While early reports suggest his death was accidental,

the police strongly suspect foul play.

That's what we gather based on the SP's remarks.

Phone!

Aamir Ali, accused in the Vinayakan murder case, granted bail.

Vinayakan, who was presumed dead,

was found abandoned near the court premises yesterday

with severe burns all over his body,

prompting the court to grant bail to Aamir Ali.

SIX MONTHS LATER - NEPAL

Heavy snowfall in upper Nepal has triggered major traffic jams on mountain roads

leaving vehicles stalled in long queues amid heavy snow accumulation.

After 22 years of solitary confinement,

Indian smuggler Ahmed Ali is being released from prison on the 12th of this month.

Ahmed Ali was jailed in 2002 for the massacre of seventeen members

of Nepal's most notorious Salim Mirza gang.

This high profile release--

- When you transfer your weight onto-- - Ikka!

You have a call.

Here you go, Mom.

Sudeep.

Under no circumstances can a category 'A' prisoner,

be brought out of his solitary confinement cell, without being chained.

That's the rule, Ma'am.

We did the same with Charles Shobharaj.

[Hamza] Do you know, Panicker sir?

What forced this country to implement an act like COFEPOSA?

Ruling the North were

Sukur Narain Bakhia and Haji Mastan.

And down here in the South, it was Mudaliyar and...

The same chain...

Now for Ahmed Ali.

Baba...

Dad!

[in Hindi] My prince!

My blood!

Aali!

I've dreamed of this moment since the day you were born.

A dream I thought would never come true in this lifetime.

All I could do was watch over you all

from the shadows.

But no prison wall...

can change the fact that Aamir Ali and Younus Ali are Ahmed Ali's own blood!

And if anything happens to my flesh and blood...

the tremors will find me in any dungeon on Earth.

Even in the freezing cold, I will burn with rage!

When avenging your own flesh and blood,

never let mercy hold you back, Aali.

Because any debt left unpaid...

will become the curse

time condemns us to.
