That's why no one takes it seriously.

Bills are printed in big presses
in foreign countries

where hundreds of crores
of FICN are printed.

They have the infrastructure, technology.

In fact, to some extent,
they have government backing, too.

The bills are smuggled in various ways.

It's impossible to smuggle together.

So they are smuggled in vehicles,
in suitcases,

with ordinary export products,
like textiles, electronics, and so on.

They're brought in small installments.

They keep trickling in
through our borders.

Whether it's Bangladesh, Burma, Nepal,

or of course, our neighbor, Pakistan.

Sometimes their means are innovative.

These bastards work really hard.

Who knows where those bastards are.

if they fail to reach the right market,
even the best fake bills are useless.

So, distribution is the backbone
of this business.

And they have an elaborate network.

Eventually, they reach businesses,

banks, ATMs, and the common man.

That's why we're here
for this one-of-a-kind cell.

For the first time, various agencies
are coming together for one goal:

to fight counterfeiting.

-Shekhar!
-Yes, sir.

Hello. I'm Shekhar Ahlawat,
the Chief Investigating Officer.

What?

Whose idea was this?

Not ours, sir. It's from the ministry.

India's counterfeiting operation
is run by this man.

He's a wanted man.
He lives primarily in the Middle East.

He keeps visiting India
but no one knows when he does.

The entire system's in his pocket.

Mansoor Dalal.

This is Jitendra Joshi,
Mansoor's right hand.

They call him Jitu Kaka.

And this is
Mansoor's main distributor, Bilal.

I called the NIA but no updates yet.

It's been two weeks.

Are they really investigating it?

Look, Megha, you found the bills.

That's an achievement.

Leave the rest to them.

Why can't we investigate it?

I'll do it myself.

Are we the police?

No.

Are we the law enforcement agency?

No.

Our job is to conduct research
for the government

and assist the police
with investigations. That's it.

For the NIA, it's just a fake bill,
and by the time they work on it...

I'm stopping a financial calamity.

Once the technicalities are dealt with,

mass production will have started
and our scanners won't detect the bills.

Those are heavy claims.

Look. I don't have time
for your theories. Sorry!

So we're being paid to do nothing.

What?

I was busy working
and now you've come and spoiled my mood!

I've told you repeatedly
that we are just analysts, not James Bond.

What the hell!

-Hello. It's me.
-Yes, sir.

I have a friend. He's well connected.

-He wants the stuff.
-Sure, sir.

It's a big order.

-I'll take 10%.
-Done, sir.

Hello. Lakde called. He's guaranteeing it.

It's a big order. Call the Artist.

Okay, I'll call him.

Bye.

Come on, pick up, man.

We have a big order. Can you handle it?

What do you mean? Of course.

How much? I'll talk to Sunny.

Don't use names, asshole!

Sorry, Anees. Motherfucker!

No, not you.

Let's meet if this works out, okay?

Sure. I'll talk to "him."

I need two bundles
from the Kathmandu FICN raid.

ID card, please.

-When will you return it?
-It's for lab testing.

I know, but I need to enter a date.

Date of return, date of receipt.

Two months.

-Make it six.
-Really?

Testing might take time.

They're good, depending on usage.

Which one costs more?

This one, sir.

-What's the price?
-70,000 rupees.

-What?
-70,000.

With discounts. I won't make any profits.

Don't ask to lower the price. I can't.

Did I ask you to?

-You're bargaining.
-Sorry.

Asshole.

Our work comes in handy sometimes.

Give me two phones and a good discount.

Sir, the discount...

Why are you laughing?

Discount?

-Isn't this good?
-Very good, sir.

Our apps will run smoothly on it.

It's not for me, it's for Vyom's birthday.

Did you buy it for Vyom?

Why?

-Sir, he's six.
-So?

Can't a six-year-old use a phone?

My son is very bright.

Here.

Is it for me?

-Why, sir?
-Why? That's why I bought two.

For you and for Vyom.

Aren't you ashamed?

Buying phones with counterfeits?

But you still accepted it?

Now I'm not the only guilty one!

Boss is over there.

Hello, Lakde.

Kesaribhai Doshi, MLA. Do you know him?

He's from Gujarat.

He's waiting inside. Come.

It's protocol.

It's all right.

Sir, he's here.

Sit.

What will you have?

-Nothing.
-Whiskey.

Sir, he's the guy.

He's talented.

I need 20.

Done.

You must wonder why I came here myself.

I have a rule.

I want to talk face-to-face.

Get going. My guy will handle the rest.

Let's go.

Want a drink?

Be my guest. There's no hurry.

That's enough. Let's go.

If this pans out, you'll be rich.

When do you want the delivery?

The campaign will kick off in two weeks.

Two weeks is a bit tight.

And the delivery?

Will his guys pick up the stuff?

No.

You'll have to deliver.

In Surat.

What are you saying?

A cross-border delivery?

Sorry, we can't.

Not... Not at this price.

You said, "One last time."

But this has become a habit.

Why did you take a big order?

-I'm asking you, Firoz!
-I agreed, Uncle.

We were doing well as small-timers, Sunny.

Why take such a risk?

How long will we be insignificant for?

We have to take risks in life.

It's an unnecessary risk.

Such risks ruin lives.

It's not like we're doing well now.

We're drowning.

I'm doing it for our future.

Your future, not mine.

Say that you'll help us.

-Come on.
-We only have 26,500 feet.

What the hell?

That isn't enough paper.

I'll call Anees?

Theft won't solve everything.
We must think big.

You'll get me in trouble.

-Give us an idea, Uncle.
-Go away!

-You're all here.
-Hi!

We're all here.

Rekha didn't invite you?

-Nope.
-How could we know that, son?

Anyway, we're all here.

-Enjoy!
-You should've told me.

Daddy, I want to play with my friends.

Open the gifts first, please.

Check this out!

-He's Mom's best friend.
-Is he a buffoon?

-Give me a kiss.
-No.

Did your mother tell you not to? Go.

It'll be late when we get there.
He's sleepy, too.

-Is this yours?
-No.

I'm taking Vyom home next week.

What?

I've told you. What's with this "Why?"

Vyom will also go.

Is your plan with Vyom or...

First, out of the blue,
you call me three times in one day.

Second, you came here
when I told you you're not invited.

-Such an expensive one at that!
-Is your list done yet?

First, when was the last time you saw him?

Tell me.

how long can you take care of Vyom

I stopped buying the snacks you like.

This numbering system of yours
ruined our marriage.

First, do this. Second, not this.

Third, do all of this. Fourth, do nothing!

Fifth, die. Sixth, vanish.

-Seventh, go away. Eighth--
-Shut up!

Vyom is sleeping.

Be a responsible father first.

Then take Vyom with you.

I'm calling an Uber.

Why are you throwing me out? Dearest...

Fine. I'm leaving.

I'll walk.

By the way, where does Arjun live? Okay.

Never heard of it.

Sir, you're the head of R&D,
you know everything.

They need a rep from every agency.

Please suggest my name from the RBI.

Sir, think of it as good riddance.

You want to investigate counterfeits,
right?

Okay. I'll get you permission.

Give me two days. This week. I promise.

Sir, we're analysts, not James Bond.

Don't worry.
I'll be back in three to four months.

No more than a year.

If you want to pull off a big scam,
do it legally.

-Sir, we need an ID.
-For whom?

And to legalize any business,
you need papers.

What are you guys doing with me?

What is he saying?

He's saying that he would've
died without an ID.

Thanks to us
he will have an ID before he dies.

Right, Grandpa?

No, asshole! I'm going to die soon.
Why would I need an ID?

How long will it take? Please!

They'll make it.

Why? But why?

Soon. Please.

Congratulations.
