02x06 - The Domino Effect

[bunniefuu]

Do you know why people trust us?

Because the biggest influencers...
- Scott!

People trust us because
they feel safe with us.

They have faith that their
data will not be misused.

I know.

But he's hacked into our servers.

We've been offline for the first
time and for more than an hour.

I'm not going to give
everything away

just because a petty
hacker is blackmailing us.

He's not your average
ransomware hacker.

I know, Scott.

I know it's a very complex malware.

It has infected our data source and
it is spreading through our servers!

And if we don't stop this,

our whole database will
collapse like a house of cards.

Spell-notion.

My Spell-notion will cease to exist.

I know.

How much does he want?

He doesn't want any money.

Then, what the *** does he want?

It's him.

What do you want?
- Constant access to your date.

What makes you think I will
compromise on my consumers' privacy?

I made a promise to the people.

See, Michelle,

people tend to believe lies
when someone says it

in a righteous or a moralistic way.

Now, what will those people do

if they find out that you've been
selling their data to the marketers?

I wonder what that'd
do to your stocks.

Nobody will believe a bloody hacker.

But they'll believe this.

How Spell-notion has been accessing
people's private data

without their consent.

And when this truth comes out,

Spell-notion will go
down like the Titanic.

You don't know whom
you're dealing with!

We can reach you in no time.
- No, you can't.

Because I don't exist.

You were trying to build
a user behaviour analytical model.

You gathered your users' data,

so that you could
see their patterns.

Predict what they're
going to like or dislike

so as to influence their
online buying choices.

But your model...
It's far from perfect.

In fact, you've been
failing from the last two years.

I have the algorithm you need.

I can help you achieve your dream

and make billions.

Michelle,

do not let go of
this golden opportunity.

Because if your competitor, Face-link,

cracks the algorithm before you do,

then...
- What will you do with all this data?

Exactly what you've been doing.

But in a more profound way.

We do this as a business.
Why would you want to do this?

In ancient times, the 'Devas'

or the Gods

discovered a drink called the 'Sura'.

It gave them strength and vitality.

The 'Asuras' or the demons

also wanted the same drink.

But the Gods didn't like the idea of

the 'Asuras' being
as powerful as them.

So, they altered the composition of
the drink and turned it into 'madira'.

Alcohol.

When the 'Asuras'
consumed the drink,

they forgot their worries
and felt empowered.

It made them feel invincible.

It boosted their egos.

Soon, they started fighting
amongst themselves.

'k*lling each other.'

You see, Michelle,
power boosts the ego.

And ego

is the demise of honour.

I don't understand.
- You don't have to.

Just understand this.

The web of social media is
like the modern day 'madira'.

It gives users the false
sense of control and power.

But little do they know

that the data they are sharing
is in turn corrupting their souls.

Will you hurt people?

No.

I'm only going to reform them.

The old order will fall.

A new one will rise.

It'll be the dawn of the 'Kali Yuga'.

Sir, we have heard that
CBI officer, Rasool Shaikh,

was betraying his own team.

And when was exposed, he committed
suicide by sh**ting himself.

Look, that is a lie.

Rasool was one of our best.

The deaths of his colleagues
had left him traumatized.

And it's unfortunate
that he took this step.

Sir, don't you think the CBI
is somehow responsible for this?

Kesar also escaped from
under the CBI's nose!

Look, we have issued
a red corner notice.

Kesar Bharadwaj cannot
get out of the country.

I can assure you that.

Why would the public believe
you after all that has happened?

Sir!
- Sir!

The had Kauravas created
a 'Chakravyuha' in the Mahabharata.

Abhimanyu accepted the challenge.

He knew how to pierce
through a 'Chakravyuha',

but he didn't know
how to get out of one.

During the w*r,
he could successfully

break through every
rung of the 'Chakravyuha'.

He thought he was winning.

But he was unaware

that he was being gifted

those victories as baits
so that he could be trapped.

The warriors who thought
they were really brave

never realized

when they got defeated.

Do you know what
the moral of this story is?

When the enemy is coming
at you on the b*ttlefield,

you should stay still
and wait for him.

Make him believe
that he is going to win.

When he is restless about winning,

you should attack him just once

and finish him off.

To lose small battles
in order to win a great w*r

is what is known as sacrifice.

I'm glad these insects haven't
seen the Mahabharata.

You narrate old stories
in a very unique way.

Other people only tell
good things about the stories.

Because one is a point of view of pain

and the other is that of faith.

I'll help you take these inside.
- There's no need for that.

You can go.

Can I ask you something?

I've been coming here for a long time.

From sowing the seeds
to harvesting the fruits,

I help you with everything.

Finally, when it's time
to carry the fruits inside,

you don't let me do that.
You don't let me enter the house.

Do you think I'd steal something?

I'm protecting you
from the 'Chakravyuha'.

If you enter it once,

then, like Abhimanyu,
you won't be able to get out of it.

Sir, if I'd listened to
you and let Kesar go,

then Shubh would
have won yet again.

Sir, we saved Nusrat's life.

We chopped off Shubh's hands.
Rasool and Kesar.

Do you think he'll stay calm now?

No! He won't stay calm.

But that's exactly what I want!
I don't want him to keep calm!

I want him to make a mistake
so that we get a lead!

Sir, please look
at the bigger picture.

Tomorrows gains are more
important than today's losses.

You know you are not
getting away with this.

Action will be taken.

But if we take any action now,

we'll have to explain the deaths
of both Kesar and Rasool.

So, guys, forget everything

and let's work like a team.
And that goes for you, too.

What's the update on Ishani's laptop?

Sir, Kevin is looking into it.

And Nusrat's kidnapper...

Kamini.
- Yeah.

Sir, we're trying to make
her spill the beans. - Okay.

Sir, it's been six hours and
she's told us nothing yet.

She's a stubborn woman.

I know how to make
her spill the beans.

Kamini Tyagi.

Isn't that your name?

2012 inter-college debate winner.

2013 national-level
taekwondo champion.

Impressive.
Married Uday Mishra in 2015.

Feb, March, April 2015.
Hospitalized thrice.

The reasons were
falling off the stairs,

crashing into a door and burning
your hand with a hot utensil.

The actual reason

was domestic abuse.

In April 2016,
as per your blood report,

you got pregnant.

In December 2016,
you gave birth to a daughter,

who, unfortunately,
got kidnapped from the hospital

and was k*lled.

Don't tell me my life's story.

Do whatever you want to.

It makes no difference to me.

Really?

It will make a difference
to your daughter.

My daughter is dead.

Your daughter is alive.

And Shubh hid this fact from you.

My daughter is dead.

Everyone including your
husband and family lied to you.

This lie poisoned your mind

and Shubh took advantage of that.

The truth is always bitter.

But a half-truth

is poisonous.

You had everything that Shubh wanted.

Fervour, courage, anger.

He supported you only
to lead you astray.

He treated your wounds
so that you would

treat him like a God...
- He is God!

Only God could have
done what he did for me!

The DNA reports of
you and your daughter.

Her name is Jia.

Check it. Check it properly.

And then, think,

what God would

keep a mother away from her child?

Vrinda.

Sorry, I suddenly called you up
and asked you to come here.

No, that's absolutely fine.

Is everything okay?
- Yes, I just remembered something.

What?

A college...

National College Of...

Engineering Science. Yeah.
- Yes.

NCES, Delhi.
- Yes.

Yes, he had once mentioned that

he was a professor at that place.

It's a big help.

Thank you.

I'm glad I could be
of some help to you.

Vrinda,

I am afraid that if Shubh finds out

that you're helping me, he may...
- He has himself asked me to help you.

He always used to say

that all of us are born

in this world with a purpose.

Maybe, my purpose

was to show you the way.

Dr. Rao was a pioneer

in quantum computing and AI.

He wanted to make a system
which could be used

to improve the quality of human life.

He sounds like a genius.
- He was.

But the problem is
the curse of genius.

His own mind became his enemy.

He had lost it.

You know,

with his own hands.

he burned down his lab Can you imagine?

Can I take a look at that lab?

Sure.

But there's nothing left there.

It was shut down after the accident.

There's only dust left.

What could be the reason
why he burned down the lab?

He was very happy
the last time I met him.

He said the project was
going to complete soon.

But he suddenly disappeared
after two days.

He disappeared?

I mean, someone must have
heard something about him.

We've heard a lot of rumors.

Like Dr. Rao left everything
and went to Rishikesh

in search of solitude.

Did these rumors

have a mention of his son?

Or a favourite student.

See, Dr. Rao was very
discrete about his work.

But there was a student.

Dr. Rao used to praise him a lot.

He would say that

at a very young age.

the student was a big genius

He would also say that he saw

himself in that student.

They were very secretive
about their AI project.

Which Prof. Rao told me was
based on the domino effect.

The domino effect.

One action triggers another one,

and that action
triggers another action...

And it triggers another
action and it continues.

It's like life.

Any event is the result
of its previous event.

And that event triggers another event.

A chain of events

which you can't stop
even if you want to.

The domino effect.

Guys, there's one day
left for the attack.

And we know nothing about his plan.
- We do, sir.

This was a project by
Professor Venkat Rao at NCES.

He was working
on Artificial Intelligence

with quantum computing.

What does that have to do with Shubh?

Professor Rao's main assistant

was Shubh.

They had met at the monastery,
and then one day suddenly,

the professor disappeared.

And we know, it's not a coincidence.

So, Shubh

will use Artificial Intelligence
for the attack!

Let me see what we can find.

Mom! Mom, what has happened to you?

When will you come home?

Very soon, dear.
- Promise? An honest promise?

My dear, let your mother rest.

Let us go out for a while.

I k*lled her!

I k*lled someone.

Nusrat, if that woman
were in your shoes,

she'd have done the same thing.

You were trying to save your sister.

I just wish I'd done the same thing.

Then, Riya would have been alive.

Nusrat, sometimes,

the result of taking
the right decision

is not good.

How has this got anything

to do with right and wrong, Nikhil?

I'm a m*rder*r!

What's the difference
between me and Shubh?

There is no difference...
- There is, Nusrat.

The difference is that you know

that it's wrong to k*ll someone.

I have k*lled someone.

Nusrat.

How could I k*ll someone?

How could I k*ll someone?

It's okay.

Sorry.

Sorry.

'You were right, sir.'

'There is a dead body in
the car and it's got a mask on.'

It's a journalist, sir.
Akbar Mirza.

Akbar Mirza!
- Do you know him?

He was a senior investigative
journalist at TBTV.

Why was he targeted?

There was no reason.

I don't think we
should fall for this sh*t.

It can't be without a reason.

I agree.

But for now, we must focus
on stopping the attack, Nikhil.

Do me a favour.
Send the body over. Okay?

And, Kevin, ask Mandy to send a team
over at Akbar Mirza's house.

Yes, sir.
- Right now.

The time near.

Make sure that no one

remains unaffected
by the apocalypse.

We found two sets of fingerprints
in Professor Rao's box.

One of the sets doesn't
exist in the database.

Those must obviously be Shubh's.

We found two matches for
the other set of fingerprints.

One match was from the database
of Professor Rao's university.

And the other one?
- In 2016, NCRB found

an unidentified body
in the jungles of Uttarakhand.

That's the second match.
- So,

this is where Professor Rao
was after he disappeared.

But this is a mountainous area.
- Yes.

It's difficult to even get there,
let alone live there.

That's what Shubh wants.

He doesn't want us to get there.
- He's right.

Professor Rao and Shubh
were definitely

working on their project here.

But, sir, how did they get
power for service in a jungle?

That's not a big deal for Shubh.

The two of them were
100 percent working here.

Once Shubh's job was done,

he k*lled the professor.

Sir, the chances are that
if we find this location,

then we'll also find Shubh.
This is our chance.

And probably our last one.

Look at the terrain.

By the time we search the entire
terrain and come back,

there may not be anything
left to save here.

We have only 12 hours
until the attack, sir.

Yeah. Paul is right.

Preventing the attack
is more important.

But, sir, we can't ignore this.
- We won't.

Ask the local team to search
the area and just look

for abnormal
power consumption, okay? - Sir.

Just play it again. This one.

Nikhil!

Hi. - Did you find anything
in Rasool's hard drive?

I'm working on it.
That will take time.

But I called you for this.

We found something
in Shalini's laptop.

She was regularly coordinating
with someone and they have

one location in common.

This one.

Shastri Nagar.
- Within a two-kilometre radius.

This is a commercial area.

Warehouses, offices and shops.

There must be hundreds of
thousands of people here.

That's true.

Is there a common number
in their call records?

Each received a call
twice from this number.

This is registered...

In the name of Viral Vajpayee.
- That's obviously a fake ID.

Hmm. - Can you check
the number's current location?

Okay, let me find it.

Rashmi Glass Works.

Stop your work!
Everybody, stop working!

Mandy.
- Sir.

Check every corner carefully.

Immediately inform me
if you find anything.

Okay, sir.
- Go.

Hey! Who are you?

What is this nonsense?

Are you the company owner?

Yes, so what?

This is for you. A search warrant.

Sir! There's a room in the rear.

It has a lot of servers.

Servers.

Okay. Call Naina. And where's Nikhil?

On his way, sir.
- Okay.

Like I said, I don't know
anyone by the name of

Viral Vajpayee or Shalini.

How would I know which
employee is calling which client?

But you must know

that 65 percent of
your clients are fake.

What are you hiding
behind a fake clientele

and an inflated balance sheet?

You'll be jailed under
the charges for terrorism.

And trust me,

the person you're trying to protect
won't come and save you.

You have a chance. Save yourself.

Whose company is this?

Name.

Whose company is this?

Sir! Naina found something
in the server room.

Guess who the real
company owner is.

Who?

Arjun Bhalla.

What!
- Yeah.

My God! This is...
- What is it?

The algorithms on Shalini's laptop

were the missing parts
of these ones here.

So, is it making any sense?

Why are they using AI?

Shalini's algorithm works with bots.

You can manipulate
the stock market with it.

Biopulse.

The pacemakers in
the three victims. - Hmm.

Both that company and
this one belong to Arjun Bhalla.

Their stock prices have touched
record highs in the last six months.

So, he's using bots to increase
the prices of his shares.

The bots simulate a bull run.

The investors buy
the shares in wholesale,

which sharply increases their prices.

It's all just a scam.

Arjun Bhalla.

Arjun Bhalla lied to our faces!

He was so emotional about Shalini.

But

only he can lead us to Shubh.

Great. Then, we need
to arrest him now.

No, we can't arrest him.
- Why?

Because this is perhaps
a trap laid by Shubh.

You mean Shubh wants to
ruin Arjun Bhalla? - No.

The ordinary man.

The largest number
of shares in the market

belongs to
Arjun Bhalla's companies.

If we arrest him,
the market will crash.

Billions of rupees will be wiped off
and millions of people will be ruined.

That means you will let

Arjun Bhalla off the hook!
- Not that,

but we must plan all our
future steps very carefully.

Arresting Arjun Bhalla
will cause a lot of chaos.

Nikhil is right. We have
to think this through. - Sir.

We had found the key to a private
locker at Akbar Mirza's house.

We just opened the locker and...

You won't believe what is in it.

Your friend, Rohan,

has spilled the beans.

He told us everything.

We want to know

how you got hold of this file.

I already told you
everything I had to.

I have nothing else...
- Just answer the question!

Accidentally, sir. Accidentally.

Arjun Bhalla, actually,

borrowed a big loan by showing
us fake documents and we

found out about him by chance.

It wasn't by chance.

That was a part of Shubh's plan.
He wanted you to know

about Arjun Bhalla's fraud.

You thought the market would
crash if the news got leaked.

You thought that was
a good chance to make money.

So, you started blackmailing
your seniors at the bank.

And when you were
blackmailing people with Rohan,

Shubh made you his next target.

Sir, everything was running smoothly.

Rohan got spooked when you
brought me here the other day.

We had decided that

if anything happened
to either of us,

we'd make these files public.

Rohan got spooked and
gave the files to the RBI.

And this is why the RBI Governor
had to resign immediately.

But what I don't get is

how all of this is related to
the attack on the 'Ashwini Nakshatra'.

We have an hour until the attack.

What happened, Naina?

Rasool's hard drive.

It has several strange videos of

the personal lives
of Rasool's victims.

And there is also
a threat probability calculation.

Let me show it to you.

Dr. Abhilasha Chandran.

Probable threat level 95 percent.

Aditya Jalan.

Probable threat level 94 percent.

The gas chamber victims.
Maulana Omar Sayyed.

Probable threat level 94 percent.

So, he did not

select these people based
on the 'Dhanishta Nakshatra'.

His system had predicted that these
people could be threats to his plan.

That's why he k*lled them!
- That's not all.

It also has our personal videos.

There's another folder.

This is Sandhya
at the doctor's clinic.

The probability of her
getting an ab*rtion is

98 percent.

Shashank's office.

When Nikhil was presenting
proof against you.

The probability of
DJ getting arrested

is 99 percent.

This is Nikhil at the cemetery
when he got kidnapped.

The probability of you
finding the right coffin is

98 percent.

These folders contain
our entire lives.

This b*stard was
watching us all the time.

Again, that's not all.

There are thousands of
videos of common people,

cricketers, bureaucrats,
politicians, you name it.

Their personal lives,
professional lives,

the way they talk,
the number on their glasses

and even their facial
proportions and measurements.

There is every tiny detail here.

He was studying people's lives.

He was studying their
behaviors so that

he could manipulate those people

and protect them.

This is why Shubh was
always a step ahead of us.

He was experimenting
on us like *** lab rats!

Sandhya. Riya.

They were just experiments!

You were taken hostage

so that he could
observe and study us.

Kesar once said

that God doesn't make plans.

He creates the future.

This is what he meant!

The question is,
what is Shubh's endgame?

Shubh's endgame has
always been the same.

To take the 'Kali Yuga'

to its ultimate cl*max.

So that Kalki takes birth after
which Shubh would k*ll Him.

As per mythology, Kalki's main weapon
to k*ll Kali will be technology.

And to counter that, Shubh is
using Artificial Intelligence.

He's really thought this through!

But how will Shubh

take the 'Kali Yuga' to
its ultimate cl*max? - Guys,

switch on the TV.
- Sir.

But I can't let my fear subdue
the voice of my conscience.

If you are watching
this video, that means

I'm not alive anymore.

But it's necessary for all
of you to know the truth.

A fact that the government,

the CBI and the police
do not want to get out.

This is the truth about our country's

famous industrialist, Arjun Bhalla.

This man always talks about
honesty and hard work.

But he's really a fraud.

With the help of the corrupt board
members of the Fortune Bank,

he has swindled Rs. 820 billion.

Rs. 820 billion.

Several ministers in the government
helped him commit this fraud.

The CBI tried to keep
this case a secret.

Anyone who tried to expose this scam,

was eliminated by these people.

Under the pretext
of the 'Asur' killings,

Kesar Bharadwaj,

Akbar Mirza, the journalist

and several more innocent
people were k*lled by them.

I've gathered proof against these
people with a lot of difficulty.

And I am about to
show this proof to you.

The RBI Governor and Arjun Bhalla

are involved in this scam.

And here is the proof for that.

I have presented
the truth before you.

To take it forward is
your responsibility now.

If my death can get
these criminals punished,

then my sacrifice will
have been a success.

"For the one who has
taken birth, death is certain."

"And for the one who
is dead, birth is certain."

Yes, sir?
- Arrest Arjun Bhalla.

Sir, I don't think
this is the right time.

We can't imagine
the impact it could have.

Everything is ruined.
We've been left humiliated.

Save whatever honor we have left.

Arrest him immediately!
- Yes, sir.

Give justice to Rasool!

Give justice to Rasool!
Give justice to Rasool!

Give justice to Rasool!
Down with Arjun Bhalla!

Down with Arjun Bhalla!

Down with Arjun Bhalla!

With the video of the late
CBI officer, Rasool,

a huge scam has come to the fore.

Arjun Bhalla has been arrested
under seven different charges.

It is believed that Arjun Bhalla

manipulated the stock market
using bots.

He has put the future of the
company and infact this country at risk.

We could never have imagined that

this would be the attack
on the 'Ashwini Nakshatra'.

Sensex has crashed by 10,000 points
on account of Arjun Bhalla's scam.

Foreign investors are pulling out

in large numbers - It is the biggest
economic meltdown post 2010.

The stock market is just one step.

Things will perhaps get a lot worse.

As you can see, thousands of people

have gathered outside
the Fortune Bank.

He has borrowed unsubscribed loans

worth hundreds of
billions from 11 banks.

Obviously, he will default.

Banks will file insolvency.

And when the fraud of
one of the biggest banks

in the country gets exposed,

people will lose faith
in our financial system.

And when everyone finds out
that the government covered it up...

Home Minister Jagtap Singh
has resigned.

There goes our law and order.

So many people will become homeless.

The crime rate will go up!

People are looting and
k*lling for petty cash.

The crime rate is going
through the roof.

More than 100 people
have committed suicide.

People will come out on
the streets in a few days.

When the common loses faith,

we're looking at complete anarchy.

Down with Arjun Bhalla!
Down with Arjun Bhalla!

Hundreds of thousands of people

poured out on the streets
in over 50 cities.

Give justice to Rasool!
Give justice to Rasool!

Several Army units are on alert

to prevent anymore
anarchy in the streets.

However, it's difficult to say
how much the situation will improve.

Hundreds of thousands of people

poured out on the streets
in over 50 cities.

People all over the country
are clamouring

for the Prime Minister's
resignation.

This was the attack on the day
of the 'Ashwini Nakshatra'

on the government

on the system.

On the entire society.
