01x04 - One last surprise, Mr. Tomar?

Post by bunniefuu »

He's stable.

The doctor said that
the next few days will be crucial.

He's very strong.

Nothing will happen to him.

He'll be fine.

Who bailed you out?

I... I've got some friends.

What next?

Once the investigation report for
the blood, or whatever it is, comes out,

their case will be weakened.

But you don't worry about me.

Tell me, how have you been?

I'm fine. I...

There's no money in the bank account.

I don't understand what to do.

There should have been
at least 300,000 rupees.

Did you check the bank statement?

The branch was vandalized
during the riots.

It is currently closed for renovation.

I don't even have
the net-banking password.

But you don't worry. I...

I'll take a loan from Father.

I need to pay the hospital bill.

No, no.

I will settle the hospital bill.

And...

please don't tell Dad anything.

Hello?

I'll be right there.

What happened?

What's wrong?

Vidushi!

I was returning from the market.

I noticed that the door was ajar,
and the house had been vandalized!

You have a friend
in the police force, right?

Yes, I'm calling her.

-Okay.
-One second.

Hello?

Pallo, where are you?

There has been a theft at the house.

Dev's with me.

Please come over quickly.

Yeah, alright.

Has anything valuable been taken?
Electronics or cash?

No.

Everything seems fine.

My jewelry is also here.

Oh, God.

Father's important files...

I hope you don't believe...

that I k*lled Jay.

No. Are you crazy?
Why would I...

But someone did k*ll him...

and made it look like an accident.

But why would anyone k*ll him?

Did he have any enemies? Any disputes?

Any affairs?

Not that I'm aware of.

This looks like a gambling chip.

Yeah...

it's Jay's.

Some time ago,
Jay had a severe gambling problem.

Did Dad know?

No, he...

He promised that he would
never gamble again.

And he had sworn me to secrecy.

KIN CONFLICT IN LAKHOT
ONE BROTHER TAKES THE LIFE OF THE OTHER

So, nothing's missing?

Perhaps they were searching
for something specific.

Leave the investigation to me.

There are no advancements
in the investigation of Jay's m*rder.

He had a gambling addiction.

It's possible that a thug or criminal
was after him.

A few days ago, I saw him
outside the house...

getting thrashed.

Really?

You didn't help him?

No, because it wasn't my problem.

Now, it's one hundred percent
your problem.

Where you were this morning
when everyone was at the hospital?

Here.

Looking for property papers?

Are you out of your mind?

I went straight to the hospital
from the court.

You all...

Everyone has only been questioning me
instead of taking the case seriously.

Shouldn't you go back to the hotel?

Go, clean up.

Get going. Seriously.

What is wrong with everyone here?

Sir.

Vikas has been released,
but Pramod is openly sealing deals.

Isn't that what you wanted?

-Yes, but...
-Kairav.

This is politics,
and Bhenno is a politician.

Let him handle it.

It's just one marble mine.

Give it a few days.

The matter will resolve itself.

Sir.

Sir.

What's the update?

No money was found.

We scoured the house.

The money must be hidden somewhere.

I'm sure Jay didn't take it
with him to hell.

We need to get to Vikas
as soon as possible.

Talk to Dev Tomar.

-Understood?
-Yes, sir.

-All hail...
-The Kachdaars!

-All hail...
-Mr. Bhenno!

-All hail...
-Mr. Bhenno!

Mr. Vikas.

My presence here has ignited
a lot of enthusiasm among your people.

Yes. But I need commitment from you
more than anything else.

Have faith, Mr. Vikas.

There is a moral commitment...

but I'm also connected with you
on a soul level.

How about giving an open commitment?

Mr. Vikas, you're unbelievable.

Before going against the party
high command, let me think it over a bit!

Goddamnit!

Hello?

Dev, are you alright?

I heard you got bail.

You'd know since your boss is the one
who got me out.

Very funny!

Come home in the morning.

We'll talk over breakfast.

Alright. I'll be there.

Is this also a part of your business?

Did you see her?

These chicks in uniform
pack quite a punch!

Have you seen Pallavi? She's...

I mean, she looks really hot
in that tight uniform.

Right?

What's wrong?

I can contain my emotions, but...

what about this little uncle?

The little uncle just won't budge.

Oh, that reminds me.

How is... Uncle doing?

He's stable.

Thank God, he's stable!

But he's still in the ICU.

Even now?

Hey, what are you guys doing here?

The waiting area closes at nine o'clock.

-Tell her.
-My father is in there.

You are not a doctor, are you?
Go home.

Come back tomorrow
after 7:00 a.m. Go away.

-Leave!
-We're leaving.

Unbelievable!

You know what you need?
A sexy break.

I'll take you to a Diwali party.

You'll meet all the sinners
from school there.

Yes?

What do you want?

Did you read the article?

Enjoyed it?

None of this would have happened
if you had reasoned with your friend.

I don't give a rat's arse.

Also...

Dev Tomar isn't my friend.

Really?
It didn't seem like that to me.

Your mother must take pride in the fact...

that she gave birth
to the biggest twat on earth!

Come with me for dinner, Pallavi.

This time, we'll have a proper date.

The one with starters,
main course, and dessert.

I don't go to dinner with twats.

Even if they're the top performer
in their category.

Get it?

Pallavi, you're misunderstanding me.

-Hear me out...
-Listen.

Don't call me again.

Pallavi, just hear me out once. I...

as*h*le.

Are you alright?

Vidu?

No, I have dark circles.

Vidu!

Vidu...

Jay is dead.

He was m*rder*d.

You haven't said a word about it.

How do you feel?

I don't know.

I don't feel anything.

It's okay.

You should have left him long ago.

By the way...

why didn't you tell me
about his gambling problem?

I don't know.

Maybe...

I didn't want to admit it
in the first place.

I don't know.

Right now, I'm just worried about Father.

Moreover, Dev is in a soup. I just...

-Dev is a criminal. He's guilty.
-I...

Are you insane?

Why would Dev do that?

What's the reason behind it?
Childhood quarrels?

Maybe he wants to usurp the property.

Jay was supposed to get it all.

Right?

People do all sorts of horrid things.
I've seen a lot of it.

Dev is not a criminal, Pallavi.

That scoundrel SHO Rangot
has been targeting him.

And now, you're targeting him too!

He has been in prison before.

And he'll go back to prison.

Wait a minute.

Do you still have a stupid crush on Dev?

Are you crazy?

He's my brother-in-law.

Right. And you have a crush...

I love watching this show!

There's so much talent in our nation!

Pallavi...

where will you sleep?

Auntie...

I'll crash here with Vidu.

Why? The guest room is vacant.

-Bet!
-Come on.

Do you recall when Dev got suspended?

He brought a loudspeaker to the college!

You know, the megaphone type?

He parked his bike in front of the college

and started loudly broadcasting
all the answers to the chemistry exam.

-Dev, I clearly remember.
-That's how we passed that day...

What is an azeotrope?

A mixture of two liquids

which has a constant boiling point
and composition throughout distillation.

You know what happened after that?

Did you check out Vani?

Weren't you together in school?

We held hands just once...

in the tenth grade.

She'd share her lunch with me.

Dev was the most popular guy in school.

We all thought that
he'd grow up to be famous.

Yes!

Well, he is famous.

His picture is in today's newspaper.

What?

It's true!

Unbelievable!

People still read newspapers in this city?

Superb.

-Two more from me.
-That's right.

Bunty, your turn.

Here's my... 800.

-I'll be loaded tonight.
-Pack.

I'll get another drink.
Please continue.

-Come on.
-Come on, Bunty.

Whiskey.

One more.

TP Singh.

Did you do it?

Don't keep it from your friend.
Just spill the beans.

What do you think?

I don't know.

But if it were me...

I would have shot his a*s.

That wimpy f*ck took my money.

Not just my money,
but of many others, as well.

Really?

He lost in a game.

Then he started ignoring my calls.

It seems like Jay had secrets.

Secrets, my a*s!

Everyone in the city was aware...

except for Uncle.

Where did he play?

You wanna go?

Well, then let's go!
This kindergarten party can suck it!

This is the haunt
of all the gamblers in Lakhot.

Good evening, Mr. TP.
Welcome.

Come, sir. Sit.

Minimum ten thousand to start.

-Thank you.
-Good luck, sir.

Come on, let's take a tour.

-Right now?
-Come on.

Come.

-Yeah, just a minute...
-Let's go.

What...

What kind of tour is this?

Come on.

Come on!

I'm walking. Don't push me.

Devendra Tomar.

I know my name.
Who are you?

Smartass!

I saw you in the morning newspaper today.

You're Jayendra Tomar's brother.

Lakhot Patrika has
a pretty good circulation.

Another Curious George!

So...

what are you doing here?

I saw your...

slick henchmen with my brother
a few nights ago.

I just dropped by to greet them.

Are you...

insinuating that I have something to do
with your brother's m*rder?

As far as I know...

the police suspect you.

And I suspect you.

Listen. If I had gotten him k*lled...

I wouldn't have made it
look like an accident.

Besides,

I wouldn't get someone k*lled
for a mere sum of one or two million.

Nope.

It's more difficult to recover a debt
from the dead.

Never mind.

How's your father?

I read in the newspaper
that he had a heart attack.

I thought I'd drop by someday...

to pay my respects.

No, thank you.
Please don't take the trouble.

Ten days.
You've got ten days.

After that...

we'll swing by your house
to greet your father.

Do you understand?

Get lost!

Oh, sh*t! Sorry.
What's the time?

It's past breakfast time.
Where are you?

I... I'll be there in five minutes.

Come soon.

What the f*ck, Jay!

Sir.

Signature.

It's right there.

Not yours.

Your boss'.

We need the signature of the SHO
on the requisition.

I just need information about
the highway construction permission, sir.

I can't bother the SHO
for something so trivial.

You see, ma'am...

Municipal permission
is not something trivial.

The responsibility
for the smooth functioning of democracy...

rests on our delicate shoulders.

According to the regulations,
all the procedures...

will be followed.

The signature of the SHO
will definitely be required.

I thought...

you went back to Gurugram.

And you didn't even say goodbye
before leaving.

This city won't let me go so easily.

Dad has been hospitalized.

Heart attack.

Oh my God!

I'm so sorry.

Sandy...

let's start afresh.

Come with me.
It'll only be the two of us.

Dev, what happened the other day
was a mistake.

Why?

Because things have changed, Dev.

You have changed, and so have I.

The whole world has changed.

The food tastes good.

Sandy...

tell me one thing.

This...

photo...

This is at Kairav's hotel, right?

What is this?
Where did you find this picture?

Forget that. Just tell me, what is CJ?
It's the same hotel, right?

Yes. Castle Jahargarh.

One second.

And...

do you recognize these girls?

They could be anyone.

Guests, foreign entertainers.

It's a hotel, Dev.
We have many visitors.

Yes, except that one girl who...

Whose body was found buried in the sand.

She was one of them?

But... what is your connection to this?

Not mine.

I think Jay was associated with it.

If you're so sure about it,
why don't you seek help from the police?

Yeah, right!

Lakhot Police!

"Always at your service."

Oh, sh*t!

I had to report to the police station.

It shouldn't have happened.

Well, what can be done now?

I suspect Dev.

-Karim, Rabia's...
-Look!

Mom, it's that curly-haired guy!

I'm here for my daily check-in.

Sign here.

Listen.

I think there's a connection between
the deaths of Jay and the foreign girl.

Really?

I think Jay knew who k*lled that girl.

That's why he got k*lled too.

How do you know that?

I can't tell you that.

Right.

Until yesterday, he had a gambling debt.

And now...

Jay is linked to foreign women.

Pallavi, please.

SI Pallavi Raj. Remember?

-I do.
-There he is!

-That's him!
-There he is!

That's him!
He knows Jamal.

He has done something to my brother!

-He had come home the other day!
-Why is she howling?

-He beat me, as well. He had come over.
-He beat him.

There were two other people with him.

-My son Jamal has been missing.
-Shut up!

-There were two other people...
-Quiet. Shut up!

Do you know them?

I have never seen them before.

-Ma'am, he's lying!
-Why would I lie?

-My brother...
-This is not my case. Go and wait outside.

-Unbelievable! You should arrest him.
-Ma'am...

-He is responsible.
-Arrest him, ma'am.

-Hear us out just once.
-Mr. Rangot!

What's going on?
Why are you causing a ruckus here?

-Who is this?
-Mr. Rangot, this is my brother.

-This is Jamal.
-Who is he?

Act appropriately,
or I'll throw all of you in jail!

-Sir, my son has been missing.
-Who is your son?!

-You think he's some big shot?!
-He's my brother, sir.

Are you here to file a report
or just to cause a ruckus?!

-Sir...
-I'll throw everyone out! Shut up!

-Sir, you need to sign the weekly reports.
-Come on, get out.

-Don't make noise. Keep quiet!
-Sir, please listen!

-Sir, my brother Jamal...
-Let go of my hand.

Sir, my brother Jamal.
He's missing!

-Get out of here! Get out!
-Sir...

-Sir... sir!
-Please hear us out.

-Sir, we've got information.
-Grab hold of him, sir.

-We have useful information.
-Really?

-Useful information?
-Yes, sir.

Tell me.

Sir, it's about Sunil Mahajan and Kairav.

Really?

Sir, there's one more report left.

-It's about Sunil Mahajan and Kairav.
-Yes, sir.

-Please leave.
-Leave.

-We'll figure something out.
-Go.

-Come on.
-Come with me. Come inside.

-Come on. Everyone, out.
-Yes, sir.

Yes, boss?

Didn't I tell you...

Pinky has got me by the ba*ls?

She doesn't leave a chance
to squeeze the life out of me.

I want my car back,
and I want it right away.

Boss, I'm dealing with a personal matter.

-And I...
-I'm sending someone to collect the car.

There's no need for that.
I'll take care of the matter.

It's all under control.

It's only a matter of a few days.

Hello? Boss?

Damn it.

Greetings, Auntie.

Visiting hours are over.

Where were you?

I was caught up with work.

-How's Dad?
-The doctor said he's improving.

I'm taking Vidu home.

She's exhausted.

She has been managing everything
all by herself.

You're very busy after all.

He has taken strong measures
to ensure security.

Mr. Kairav operates this gangsaw.

Every week, a truck loaded with marble
comes from Centre Marbles.

It is unloaded here and replaced.

Replaced with what?

With a different variety of marble.

Why?

Well, I'm not sure.

Once, I needed to use the toilet,
and I got lost inside.

At that time...

I saw them drilling holes in the marble
slabs and filling them with something.

What thing?

Some powder, sir.

White powder.

-Powder?
-Yes.

Powder!

Sir, will you help me
to find my brother now?

Done.

What's your problem?

Let go of your anger, bud.

We are friends, remember?

Don't make such an unflattering face.

If the wind changes,
it will freeze that way.

-What do the two of you want?
-Oh, my!

The time has come to repay the debt.

Mr. Kairav has a small job for you.

What is it?

Convince Mr. Vikas
to meet with Mr. Kairav.

So that we can resolve everything
through a small discussion.

He won't cooperate.

We've already tried once.

But now, you guys are like partners.

Just like a lock and key.

What?

Did you form a special friendship
in the lock-up?

It's not that big a deal.

Just arrange a meeting between
Vikas and Kairav at the Palace Hotel.

-Yeah.
-That's it.

I have heard their offers.

I am not interested in any of them.

I know.

But sometimes, what benefits one's cause
may not be good for one's people.

My cause and my people...

are one.

Who are your people, Dev?

And what's your cause?

Kairav and his mines?

I don't have the luxury
to raise the flag for any cause.

I'm here for professional reasons.

Certainly, Mr. Negotiator.

The poor only have the luxury of a cause.

Other avenues of support
have also opened up.

That MLA?
Do you trust him?

Do you trust Kairav?

I don't know, but...

he seems desperate this time.

If I were in your place,
I would have checked all the options.

Mr. Vikas...

there's no harm in hearing him out
one last time.

Yes?

Chicken delivery from Om Prakash's.

Go.

-Yes?
-Mr. Kairav called us.

-Mr. Kairav? Your names?
-Dev. Vikas.

Thank you.

Welcome, Mr. Vikas.

Mr. Kairav is waiting for you.
Let's go.

Thank you, sir.

We'll drop Vikas off
after the meeting concludes.

Right.

See you around.

Hi. Excuse me. Listen...

Do you remember me? I helped you
the other day at the chemist's.

Yes, of course.

Actually, I needed some help.

Yes?

Do you know the word "Tosca"?

-Sorry, I have to go.
-Listen...

Hey! What is it?

I'm going.

Please sit.

Mr. Kairav will be here any minute. Sit.

Drink?

-Just water.
-Water?

How about some fresh juice?

Juice.

One special juice...

with some extra spice.

Sure, sir.

See you.

-Enjoy.
-Enjoy.

Powder? Talcum powder?

Heroine.

It may be a worn-out idea,

but it's a bumper bonanza!

You see, they are
facing a logistics problem.

They were supplying drugs
by hiding them inside the marble.

But the protests
have disrupted the supply.

Well, there's no shortage of marble here.

He can also buy from other mines.

I don't know all the details, but...

you just offer
unwavering support to Vikas.

No matter what,
the protest shouldn't stop...

until events move in our favor

and I have Kairav by his ba*ls!

We will take revenge for every insult.

He had me lift a dead dog
with my pure hands.

Are you sure?

If you do that,

then I will openly oppose Kairav.

You see, firstly, the Minister
needs you for the elections.

And secondly, Kairav's position is weak.

His buyers are unhappy.

One of them has come here in Lakhot.

In Lakhot?

How do you know?

Mr. Kairav, do you know...

how crazy the people
in the Middle East and the Gulf are...

about green marble?

Not white. Not grey. Not pink.

My buyers won't accept anything else.

Well, why should they?

They're the real buyers.

They have no idea that there's
stuff hidden in the marble.

All the stuff is then exported
to Europe and America.

Mr. Kairav.

Do you understand what I'm trying to say?

The whole supply chain is a mess.

Your customers have a problem,
and so do mine.

Oh, Mr. Ketan!

We've had a solid relationship.

Here, only Centre Marbles
has green marble.

I'm sorting out the supply chain.
Come on.

You've been saying that for a while now.

Look, I can't wait any longer.

I need to find a new supplier.

-There's one in Gujarat...
-Mr. Ketan.

Please allow us some more time.

You should stay here with us.

I promise you
a grand experience at the Palace Hotel.

That's wonderful.
But, Mr. Kairav, the thing is...

ghosts wander around in various places
in these old ruins.

I prefer staying at modern hotels.

What is it?

Chicken delivery from Om Prakash's.

Take the staff entrance.

Someone's relishing a lot of chicken!

Hi. Good evening.

Mr. Kairav has sent me.

You're the guy from this morning.

You asked me about "Tosca".

Why?

Actually, I'm helping Kairav Singh.

I have some inquiries.
Could you please help me with this?

Do you know these two guys?

-No.
-No?

Okay. One second.

This girl?

-Wait! Listen! Please help me... Please!
-Help!

-Please, wait...
-Help! Security! Don't...

-Don't...
-Security!

-sh*t!
-Hey! Stop!

-Security alert!
-Damn it!

Hey, you! Stop!

-Stop!
-Come on, I saw him!

-I can see him!
-Hey!

-Stop!
-He's upstairs!

-Hey, where are you running off to?!
-Stop!

-That way!
-Here he is!

Alright. I give up.

I'm tired.

-Look who's here.
-How's everything?

-How are you?
-Just...

What?

Bloody...

Son of a b*tch!

Good evening, Mr. Tomar.

Sneaking in here is just so ill-mannered.

Ill-mannered?

The thing is...

nobody bothered to invite me
to this beautiful place.

You should have told me
if you wanted a grand tour.

I'd love to show you around
my grand inheritance.

In fact...

how about we do it right away?

Follow me.

Dev, you must be very eager to know

what's behind these crumbling walls.

What curiosities? What delights?
What mysteries?

But I don't blame you.

I also had a great curiosity
about all this since childhood.

The stables outside...

I was brought up in the servant quarters

right by the stables.

And this is the grand bar.

In the days of the Raj...

my great-grandfather used to entertain
British officers right here.

Old fool!

Come on, Dev.

Let's check out the next attraction.
Come on, this way.

Come.

Some have a liking for gambling.

A little risk, a little chance.

I just offer it to them.

Come.

I'll show you my favorite place!

For some, a bar...

and some gambling...

does the job!

They also add to the glamour.

Some nice company perhaps.

But some people have different interests.

What are your interests, Mr. Tomar?

Right now, my only interest
is in going home.

I'll grant that very soon,
but before that...

my personal favorite.

wh*res!

To fulfill your deepest,
darkest fantasies, Dev.

What do you think?

You must have some fantasies too, Dev.

Do you like that one?

Or this one?

Or her?

Come on.

How about her?

Everyone has some kind of fantasy, Dev.

I'm sure you have some too.

Come on!

Maids?

Nurses?

A bit of spanking, perhaps?

Are you someone who would
like to be controlled by pain?

To embrace the pain,
to bow in front of it.

Liberating, isn't it?

This is a portrait of my father, Dev.

My father was pretty ugly...

No!

...both in appearance and character.

He was an absolute monster.

He had taken after his father.

And my grandfather
had taken after his father.

-No...
-Get out of here!

-Kairav, the rascal!
-Kairav, the rascal!

The apple doesn't fall far
from the tree, you see?

Even if I'm illegitimate...

I'm still my father's son.

I hope you're not
silently judging me, Mr. Tomar.

Do you know...

what marble is made of?

It's made from the billions
of living creatures

that existed billions of years ago.

These are the remains
of our ancestors, Mr. Tomar.

Isn't that amazing?

This palace stands on
the deeds of our ancestors,

so I have preserved it...

just as it originally was.

And he...

he labeled me as illegitimate
and kicked me out of his inheritance.

I will erase their f*cking existence
from the past!

"Arise!

Arise, black vengeance...

from thy hollow hell!"

Those were Shakespeare's lines.

I failed in English.

What was the link between you and Jay?

Jay, your brother?
He was my accountant.

-You knew that.
-I also know that he gambled here.

He used to gamble here
before he was an accountant.

Not after he became an accountant.

He wasn't allowed.
It's unethical, you see.

Any more questions, Mr. Tomar?

One last surprise, Mr. Tomar,
before we end this grand tour!

-So, follow me.
-Last surprise?

Do you also have an underground tank
full of sharks?

Like a stereotypical villain
from the '80s?

I'm offended, Mr. Tomar.

I present to you...

the shining jewel
of this fine establishment of mine.

She's the one who handles everything.

Isn't she beautiful?

A classic beauty.

And look at her body. Oh, God!

It's finely chiseled. Just perfect.

What do you think, Mr. Tomar?

I feel like I'm lost
There's emptiness within me

Where do I go and in search of what?
I don't know

I feel like I'm lost
There's emptiness within me

Where do I go and in search of what?
I don't know

The dreams that lie before me

I shall attain them someday
If fate favors my journey along the way
