01x02 - Missing People

[bunniefuu]

Is this Man Singh's house?

Priya Das?

What are you doing here?

Where is your PSO?

Ms. Priya.

Aunty, Man Singh uncle?

He must have gone to meet your father.

Everything was about
Mr. Das in this house.

"Mr. Das wants fish today"

"I have to go to Jengaburu
tomorrow with Mr. Das"

Considered him his mentor.

Took his life in return.

What do you want now?

Come on.

Let's go, Madam. Get up.

Come on. Let's go.

Ms. Priya, wait.

Man Singh was m*rder*d.

A response from the Naxals
to the appeal you made.

Go ahead! Why don't you do
another press conference for this?

Go appeal to them!

Man Singh Uncle called me to meet him.

Why didn't you inform the police?

He would have been alive
if you had informed us.

Be more responsible Ma'am.

Please.

Why do you think we are here?

To protect you.

Tarla. Please go and
drop her to her house.

Madam, why did the police take you?

How did the police take you?

What happened, Madam?

Madam, you should have told me.
I would have come along.

This is not London.

Madam?

Are you drunk?
Why are you driving like this?

Shut up!

Come.

Run.

Come, come...

Move.

Get up.

Kadey, there is no water inside..

Chamak, flip the tanker.

Flip the tanker.

Come on, let's go.

Come on.

- Come on, boys. Check inside.
- Okay, Sir.

Come on, hurry up.

Get everything from the tanker.
Stash it in the car.

Yes, Sir.

Wait That's the Police.
Let's move! Go, go.

Hurry up. Check the entire area.

What the f*ck...

- Rathi, check.
- Yes, Sir.

Sir, the tanks are filled
with arms and ammunition.

- Kumar.
- Yes, Sir.

Whoever this consignment belongs to,
couldn't have gone too far.

Make two teams and search.

And seize these immediately.

Tell Tobu to tie a
yellow scarf in Keonjhar.

Water!

Hey... No!

It's poisonous!

When did it happen?

Did people die?

Okay.

Madam?

Please forgive me, dear.

I couldn't tell you anything
in front of the police.

These are some files.

Your father asked
us to keep them safely.

Actually, your father
went missing alone.

My husband never went to Keonjhar.

Then why did the police lie to me?

That I don't know.

Dhruv Kannan. Your father's student?

- Do you know him?
- Yes.

He would come over to
meet my husband sometimes.

He is a reliable guy.

Aunty, Rao uncle is there to help me.

No, Priya. Maybe you don't know.

It was Dhruv Kannan
who got your father out of jail.

All of this is a joke to you right?

People are being shot dead,
and you wander off alone.

Wait a second.

Who was shot dead?

The Naxals have become active again.

I just received the news,

a tanker full of arms
was found in Keonjhar.

The police had to open fire.

What?

You cannot wander outside
in a situation like this.

- I went to see Lakshmi aunty...
- Madam.

I am your PSO.

I can sense the threat from afar

Now, even if you go to the toilet,
I will wait outside.

Is that clear?

Ram, I needed some help.

Yeah, tell me.

Can you find an IAS
officer's address for me?

Sir.

Mr. Secretary,

What was so urgent?

Did you hear about the
incident in Keonjhar today?

Naxal activity has
increased drastically.

Whenever they are upto
something in Jengaburu,

the Naxals suddenly come into picture?

Mr. Secretary, Just tell me one thing.

Why are all JNU Students
Naxal sympathisers?

And don't forget,
people were gunned down in Jengaburu.

Children, women were not spared either.

And you think it's a cover up?

Sir, we all know who benefits
from Professor Das' disappearance.

I heard Professor Das
stopped talking to you.

Sir, if tomorrow they start inquiring
about the Jengaburu case again,

What are you going to do?

Mr. Secretary,
The document that holds the truth

has your signature on it too.

I am not afraid of the inquiry anymore.

If you don't fear it,
you will suffer in it!

Speak up!

Sir, let me go.

I don't know...

Sir, let me go.

Did he say anything yet?

There is a foreigner in Bhubaneswar.

Monica.

- We will find her.
- Any pictures, or any evidence?

I don't think so.

Here is the password.

Use this phone to
take pictures and videos

I had already told you.
I will need an advance.

You know how risky it
is to get out of the mines.

- How much?
- 30,000 INR

Call me on this number
once the job is done.

What are all these pictures for?

Eat the mangoes,
why are you counting the trees?

Where will I find mangoes in winter?

Please transfer 35,000 more.

That's a lot.

No, it's not.

What I am doing is ill*gal and risky.

And why do you need those videos?

I represent a small mining company.

Dutta Mines is our competition.

Increase security on all
check post at Keonjhar highway.

Beta 129 report to headquarter. Over.

There was a Naxal
attack in Keonjhar.

Beta 12 report to headquarter. Over.

Send unit 13 and 14 to Keonjhar.

Is this connection safe for Video?

Beatrice, what have you
found out about Basu's m*rder.

His burnt body was found in Cuttack.

He remained unidentified for days.
His sister identified him yesterday.

He must have stumbled
onto something really big,

if they were willing to go that far.

How do we get hold of that information?

He was investigating the Dutta mines.

Everything leads to
the mines in Jengaburu.

Yeah... a friend of Basu's has
gone missing as well. Professor Das.

So one's dead, one's disappeared.

Ohh...

His daughter is here.

She's just done a press conference.

You're right.
People are either dying or disappearing.

I need you safe.

There is no more
we can do on the ground.

It's time to start
hacking their systems.

I want you to use the technology.

Don't move anywhere physically at all.
Stay put.

I will be in touch.

Murari

Ganesh.

Come on.

Hey... what happened?

What did I do?

What happened?

Naxal attack was reported
outside the Keonjhar district.

They tried to smuggle arms,

ammunition and expl*sives
inside their area.

These people should be shot dead.

Everything was fine for three years.
I wonder what happened now?

- See.
- The police are investigating.

Brother, give me
10 kg lentils also.

Getting it, sister.

Can you give me a hand, brother?

Here, your tea.

Sir. Sir.

Sir.

Four missed calls.

Lata.

- Did you get everything?
- I did.

Stop.

Quick, quick.

Sit... Sit.

You shouldn't have
made her walk so far.

Oh God.

It's done.

Pass me the needle.

Almost done.

It's done.

Will she recover?

Don't make her walk.

I would like to appeal to the
Naxal Leader Kadey

to release my father, Swatantra Das.

I promise he will retire from activism.

The police have become very alert.

It may be hard for us to come again.

It's a matter of a few more days.

Mr. Rawat, the Naxal influence
has reached all the way to the mines.

Are you telling me this
or trying to justify it.

There have been no Naxal
attacks here in the last three years.

Only the Naxals use arrows, Mr. Rawat.

And b*ll*ts?

Who used the b*ll*ts?

Whose tank was it?

This is no less than
being on the border.

I noticed some people in uniforms.

There was a tussle.

Whoever raided the tanker,
actually came for the water.

Water?

Dynamite, g*ns, ammunition.

And you are concerned about water.

Rawat Sir. How are you?

Amazing.

It's a good thing no one died.

Otherwise, the CPF would
be at the receiving end as always.

How does Bhubaneshwar
Police's jurisdiction,

extend all the way to Keonjhar?

It doesn't, Sir.

We are sent here.

IGP
Sir sent us here and here we are.

These arms were probably
routed from Bangladesh.

So you will need to follow the Arms
act along with the Security Act.

Probe an inquiry.

Fantastic, Sir.

You know the entire procedure.

Why don't you join the police?

Anyway.

Sir, it was Naxals.

They are getting desperate.
We don't need an inquiry.

It's not confirmed as a
Naxal incident yet.

I am here to give you
the confirmation, Sir.

It's a message from IG Sir.

He has sent his gratitude for your help.

But the police will take over
the investigation from here.

Your responsibility is now ours.

Don't worry.

Come on. Pick everything up.

Come on.

Carefully. Don't worry.

Pick everything, son.

Madam. Who is Dhruv Kannan?

He was my Dad's student in Delhi.

People thought he was my Dad's son.

He used to take care of Dad a lot.

Is Dhruv Kannan home?

He's gone out.

Where?

I don't know.

Give me his number.

Note it down.

Please fasten your seat belts.
lift the tray tables.

Keep your chair straights,
and the windows uncovered.

The number you're
calling is unreachable.

Please call after some time.

Bhubaneshwar has changed, hasn't it?

Yes, Madam.

In fact, people even
own private planes now.

How come?

Mining, Madam.

When the earth yields gold,

people mint money even from thin air.

Vegetable Stew?

Yes.

Madam. Do people eat this in London too?

It's Dad's favourite.

I see.

Even in Delhi, he used to buy
vegetables and cook this himself.

Madam? What's wrong?

Do you think Kadey
is feeding Dad properly?

Of course Madam!

Your father may be in pain,

but not hungry.

Odisha is blessed by Lord Jagannath.

No one sleeps hungry.

Madam, What's that tattoo? I have
never seen anything like this before.

Kadey also has one.

He is also a Bondria

You know Kadey?

You are a Bondria?

A Tribal?

By God, Madam.

You don't look like one.

Why?

What should tribals look like?

No.

Have you ever lived
with the Bondria people?

I used to visit during the
holidays when Mom was alive.

And then... Bondria identity
just became a tag for me.

- Sir. Sir.
- Come on.

- Sir. Sir.
- Sir...

- Sir. Sir.
- Sir...

Please. Please. One by one.

Sir, Yesterday an appeal was
made to Naxals,

And today we found a tanker
filled with arms. What's going on?

We didn't make any appeal to
to the Naxals.

The police have no connection
with the press conference,

done by Professor Das' daughter.

Sir, would you say that Bhubhneshwar
is under Naxal threat?

What actions is the

- police taking in Professor Das' case?
- Please, one by one.

Sir, when will Kadey be arrested?

Soon.

- Sir...
- If he is not arrested

then he will definitely
be shot at sight.

I will not negotiate with Naxals.
Please.

- Please.
- Sir. Sir...

IG Sir has given a statement.

sh*t.

Ram.

Yes.

Maybe Bondria people know
something about where Dad could be?

Hello, Priya. How are you?

Good.

I needed a favour.

Yeah, tell me.

I wanted to meet Bondria people.

I was wondering if you could
tell me where they have been resettled.

I will ask Minister Tigga.

He can take you there.

And then what happened?

The Prince and Snow White got married

And they lived happily ever after.

Dhruv Kannan?

Avantika Mehta.

- Kumar. It's Mrs. Kumar.
- Sorry.

- Sorry.
- Come in.

- Long time.
- How are you? Good.

- How are you?
- Very Good.

Facebook, Messenger
now connects friends.

Always, thank God.

Pihu, meet Dhruv.

He was my friend in JNU.

- Hi, Dhruv.
- Hello.

Uncle. Uncle.

Uncle.

Come.

I actually needed,

little specific information
on Jengaburu mines,

in Keonjhar.

There was some kind of

- controversy around those mines?
- Correct, right.

Actually, it's owned by Dutta
Aluminium and Bauxite.

It turns out that nobody
has access over there.

That's why I wanted some information
to know more about these people.

Is everything alright?

Such keen interest in mining.

Are you planning to take over my job?

No, it's not like that.

Avantika, do you remember Professor Das?

Yes, of course.

The great professor Das!

He was the Head of Anthropology
Department in our college.

So professor Das is missing actually.

Really?

Don't worry, Dhruv.
I will try and help you.

Give me a couple of days.

I'll get their internal audit files.

Thank you so much.

Be safe.

Yes.

Come.

Priya, look around.
This is all Tribal area.

Earlier we could see elephants here.

- But...
- Mr. Tigga

Kadey was very close to Dad.

Then why would he kidnap Dad?

Your father has a massive
influence in all this.

Do you know, Kadey could have
become a national hockey player.

But your father's activism intervened.

So...

So, Kadey burnt down his own village?

It's not as simple as you think.

You don't know.

Did you know they found
bauxite in Jengaburu?

But your father, Professor Das,
was always against mining.

He provoked the local people.

And Kadey, under your father's influence,
became a Naxal.

One night these Naxals
surrounded the entire village.

And when the police arrived,

Kadey and his men opened
fire and k*lled 22 people.

It was us!
Who resettled the entire village.

We did a decent job at it.

But at what cost? Innocent lives.

I know.

Dad's ideology

is a bit confrontational.

Priya...

Did the journalists in the conference
ask you anything wrong yesterday?

Tell me, don't these Bondria
people want good education,

Better healthcare

And a comfortable life for themselves?

Long live George Tigga!

Long live George Tigga!

Long live George Tigga!

Priya. He is the leader here.

He knows. a little Hindi.

He has known you as a kid.

Right?

Yes.

Aren't you Sumati's daughter?

Amazing.
He even knows your mother's name.

You used to come
to the village as a kid.

Where is Kadey?

Kadey...

Priya... Let's not scare them?

These are your own people.

And Kadey k*lled their people.

- Remember?
- So there is no fear of Kadey here?

There is.

But, we are progressing now!

Tigga Sir is providing
us with everything.

Thank you for coming here, Sir.

See... I've made arrangements
for your stay at the guest house.

We cannot travel at night.
It's dangerous.

So let's go.

Madam. I thought you
would be happy to be here.

Why?

Did you see a familiar face?

I don't know, Ram.

Something didn't seem right.

I couldn't recognise anyone.

And none of them have the
Bondria tattoo.

A lot has changed in a few years.

- Priya.
- Where are you?

I've been trying to reach you.
Your phone was unreachable.

I even went to your house.

I was in Delhi for some work.
Are you alright?

Dhruv, who is Dr. Panigrahi?

Why do you ask?

I have some medical reports
that belong to his patients.

Dad gave them to Man Singh uncle.

Maybe Dad was investigating this.

Do you know him?
You know, Dr. Panigrahi?

Sir, I run a one-rupee clinic.

I need your help.

Infant death is increasing here.

There are also instances
of Lung Infection,

Skin infection.

Yellow vomit.

Take a look, Sir.

This seems more like
an agenda to me, doctor.

You must have an agenda
behind running this clinic.

First you treat people
for one rupee only

and then you top it
up with your ideology.

I understand where
you are going with this.

Munna! Get me a cup of tea!

Mr. Kannan, What do you want now?

Why are you troubling me now?

I told you not to bother me.

Priya is coming to meet you.

She found some of your medical reports.
She was asking for your address.

And I told her.

What's wrong with you?

Didn't you take your
Blood Pressure medicine?

I did.

Then why are you fidgeting around?

Are you not going to the clinic?

She shouldn't have come here.

Who?

Priya.

Priya's presence has made
the situation more dangerous.

Understand.

Good morning, Madam.

You are up so early.

Madam...

Madam?

Madam!

Priya Madam just left for somewhere.

Yes.

No, she just left.

There is someone called
Dr. Panigrahi in Keonjhar.

Yes.

It was his patients
