01x07 - Blast from the Past

[bunniefuu]

Jaidev, got the list?

Sent it on the number you mentioned.

Prince,

please tell me what's going on.

I've been offered

this by others as well.

Won't be so for long.

I just gave your wife all the dirt on

Sarvesh Pathania.

How do I believe you

I'll get immunity from

fraud cases against me?

And don't give me that crap

about an enemy's foe is a friend.

We'd rather remain enemies.

We needn't be friends, Mr Arora.

Enemies with benefits.

Benefits?

You mean other benefits

besides transferring

your cash into ghost accounts!

Just one.

Until I am supposedly abducted,

I need to hide somewhere

in your hotel.

Done.

- Yes, Brijesh?

- Madam,

our dear friend Pawankumar's, finger prints matched.

He can't escape now.

Okay, Brijesh, you know what to do.

Okay, madam.

- Prince!

- Mom, dad, Prince is here.

I'm fine.

Oh, son Prince.

Prince

Where had you gone.

Come.

My son. I am fine.

- Sit down.

- Careful.

You'll be fine. Careful.

Where did they take you?

Who were they?

I don't know.

They thrashed me.

Then they drugged me

and kept telling me

to confess in the court.

I'm fine.

You're bruised, son. Check his wounds.

- Are you okay, son?

- Yes.

On one hand,

you froze his crypto currency accounts

and on the other, he whisked the same

amount from your home.

But he made a mistake in the bargain.

That's where I doubt.

He made a mistake?

It's not the first time.

His earlier mistake got him arrested.

How?

Madam, the bank has filed a case.

There's some credit card fraud worth

billions.

Take a look.

Our team chanced upon an

unusual thing during investigation.

Credit card defaulters

across the country cleared

their debts suddenly.

Debts worth millions got

cleared across places at one go.

Isn't it too much of a coincidence?

So we interrogated

and got to know someone

made them an offer.

In lieu of clearing their debts,

he wanted their credit cards.

But you know what's

weird about all of this?

Each of them gave a

different description of him.

One said he's 20, another said he's 60.

He used the defaulters' credit cards

to make legitimate investments

and put the cards on defaulters list.

But his bad lack, despite the IP scramble.

he left his digital footprint behind.

We started watching him after our first

meeting.

After the Ahmedabad con.

Upon checking the CCTV footage and

sketches,

a classic black to white scheme

those credit cards led me to Prince.

After the Ahmedabad con,

2+2=4 was a no brainer.

There was something

fishy about this guy.

We activated our network of informers

and then we matched Prince's timelime

with the conman's

and it was a perfect match.

He was busted.

Doesn't it all seem too convenient?

What do you mean?

That man has been taking

the system for a ride.

Why would he make the silly mistake

of leaving his address behind?

It was like an open invitation

to blow off his cover.

You underestimated him.

No,

you're overestimating him.

And he's underestimating

the crime branch.

The credit card theory

wasn't sufficient in court.

We need something solid

to stand strong in court.

And now we have that.

- Hello?

- Madam,

Pawankumar is back.

Okay.

You can see

Indistinct chatter

Indistinct chatter

Pawankumar, who abducted you?

How did you get injured?

Tell us, Pawankumar.

Don't keep mum.

Are you being set up?

The people and media are with you.

Is Sarvesh Pathania behind this?

- Tell us.

- I have nothing to say.

- Please leave me alone.

- Who are you shielding?

Please leave us alone.

Pawankumar, tell us.

We're with you.

Pawankumar, you must speak.

Pawankumar, the media's with you.

Stop, don't go.

Answer us, Pawankumar.

Pawankumar Bawaria,

accused of man fraud cases

was abducted some days ago.

He returned home injured yesterday.

The police hasn't yet declared

who abducted him.

Pawankumar is under trial

for many fraud cases in Delhi court.

Let's know what the people think about

this.

What do you think?

Is Pawan Bawaria truly guilty?

No way. Pawan Bawaria is innocent.

He has been set up.

What about the police and authorities?

The police are puppets

of the influential.

Pawan's family insists he's innocent

but the crime branch

has a different take on it.

It's for the people to decide if he's a

conman or a common man.

Nupur,

this will all end soon.

It's true.

I'm pregnant.

That's great news.

I'm not sharing my joy with you.

You have to decide.

Are you really innocent?

No trace of abductors due

to inefficiency of the cops.

Madam,

here cool down with hot black coffee.

Police are ignoring the common man and

Madam, ignore these bytes.

Posing as a victim,

he's gaining public sympathy

to get the judge to sympathise with him.

The court relies on facts not emotions.

Exactly, madam.

I have a fact to share.

10 years ago, Pawan and

his family had to flee overnight

from Ranikhet and settle in Nainital.

What could be the reason?

- Flee from?

- Ranikhet.

It's near Nainital.

Hello.

Do you like hill stations?

Yes, why?

Pack your bags.

Thank you for the coffee, Brijeshji.

No problem, ma'am.

Investigation comes under police duty.

What's the point of bringing

me along?

Have some patience, Ritu.

I'm good at investigating

and you are at manipulating.

We'll need those skills on this trip.

Let's see.

Yes, ma'am.

His father was sacked

and he dropped out of school due

to financial constraints.

They sold everything

and left 10 years ago.

Why the sudden move?

No idea. Dad called

them a family of cheats.

The boy used to visit a library nearby.

Any idea about places he frequented?

He must've mentioned something.

No, he didn't.

But he was often spotted at one place.

Where?

Yes, he worked here.

He was here for almost a year.

What exactly did he do?

Nothing much.

Data entry and repairing work.

He was great with computers though.

Is that all you have?

Yes.

Thank you.

What the f*ck.

Are you making a biopic on Pawan?

This trip was a waste of time.

Have some patience, Ritu.

The trip is not over yet.

We will get what

we want before tomorrow's hearing.

Defence lawyer?

- Your honour, we're also waiting

- Your honour, I guess

Pawankumar Bawaria's lawyer

got abducted today!

Silence.

Mr Bawaria, this isn't the only case

I'm hearing today.

Don't you know how

burdened Indian courts are?

I'll set another date.

Your honour,

I can't afford any more delays.

I have no money.

My family's honour and

my career are at stake here.

Do you have a substitute?

Yes, your honour.

Who?

Me.

Really?

Advocate's Act section 32, the court

allows a person to defend himself

even if he's not a lawyer.

It's a fundamental right.

Mr Bawaria, hope you understand

what that request means.

I don't know about mistakes made

but I want to prove my innocence.

Your take?

No objection, your honour.

All right.

Mr Pawankumar Bawaria,

your motion is granted.

Thank you, your honour.

Come.

The defence was to present

Preeti in court today.

Is she here?

Do you have any other evidence?

We have evidence, your honour.

Mr Pawankumar Bawaria's

finger prints from his latest con.

Posing as Satish Chaudhary, Pawankumar

pilfered 100 million from Arjun Chautala

but you see smartness and

overconfidence go hand in hand.

Here's the finger print report.

Mr Bawaria?

Your honour, I have one question.

Where did you get these finger prints?

Put curtain to your theatrical,

Pawan Bawaria.

For the record, your honour,

Shaurya Chautala,

the investigating officer of this case,

collected these finger

prints from her house.

The CCTV footage is on this pen drive.

Play it.

Your honour, they're bent

on proving that I'm a cunning conman.

If I were really that cunning,

would I make such a mistake?

I mean, who is that man?

That video is fake and

making up stuff is easy for them.

You're questioning the authenticity of

police investigation.

I'm doing that since day one

ever since I got arrested.

Mr Bawaria,

the court allowed you to defend yourself

not demean public authorities.

- Sorry, your honour.

- It's okay, your honour.

I have a solution to his baseless

allegations.

We have the CCTV footage

but finger prints evidence can be

questioned in court.

What if instead of highlights

we show a live telecast?

Let's do this, your honour.

Let's match Satish

Chaudhry's prints with

Pawankumar's right here in the court.

Okay?

I'm ready, sir.

We need your permission, your honour.

Hope that will get us some closure.

Permission granted.

Please call the lab in charge.

Your honour

Sir, I'm ready.

Go on.

Come.

Right hand fingers

left

both thumbs.

You may go.

Sir, these prints belong

to different people.

They don't match.

What? How can that be?

Not matching.

What is he saying?

Your honour,

can we please shut this case

now?

Ms Ritu, there's no match.

Do you have any other evidence?

Yes, your honour.

Nothing can destroy

iron but its own rust.

Your honour, every criminal has a set

pattern.

So does Mr Pawankumar Bawaria.

A food inspector had harassed his

father-in-law.

Then came the Ahmedabad scam.

The victim was a woman, the food

inspector's wife!

When Inspector Shaurya

Chautala blocked all his money,

Mr Pawankumar Bawaria

posed as Satish Chaudhry at her house

and pilfered the amount from her father.

The pattern is very obvious,

your honour.

Attack where it hurts the most.

You're his childhood friend.

You should've learnt

by now that he's lying to you.

I don't believe it.

He's lying.

We're still where we were, Ritu.

You haven't proven anything.

Ajay Chauhan, Kirtan Gada,

Satish Chaudhry or Manjeet Walia.

You couldn't prove

those were my aliases.

As for pattern, tell us

what was my motive against Sarvesh

Pathania?

Your honour, I didn't have a motive

but Inspector Shaurya Chautala did.

I exposed the Manesar Land scam.

Shaurya's father was

involved in that scam.

Mr Arjun Chautala.

Inspector Shaurya is getting back at me.

There was motive, your honour.

Pawan's motive was revenge

against Sarvesh Pathania.

I will help you.

But I have two conditions.

You

Tell me.

If Prince is innocent,

you won't trouble him.

So the other condition is the real one.

If Prince isn't innocent,

you'll get me,

my unborn child and family a safe exit.

Deal.

Remember Ashfaq?

Yes, Ashfaq?

Done?

- Done?

- Not yet.

The police will come here sniffing.

This is all stolen stuff.

5 minutes.

How will you crack it in 5 minutes when

you've been trying for 2 days?

Billions of signals pass in a second.

5 minutes is a long enough time.

Right, Rizwan?

Fine.

Enter.

- No.

- You have 1.5 minutes to go.

Prince, hit center.

Yes.

You still have 10 seconds left.

It's rightly said

Ashfaq can unlock doors

that even god can't open!

Here's your payment.

Have you cracked the

phone I asked you to?

Yes, I did it yesterday.

What are you doing?

This is an ATM scanner.

When people put in their ATM card,

their details will get copied here

instantly.

Crack this and sell it credit card

department.

You'll earn 10 times more!

You'll end up losing what

little we have if you do that!

If you're smart, focus on the

right path instead of taking short cuts.

Stop this paltry theft.

What's going on here?

- Sir

- Where's your boss?

The cops are here.

Stay put and don't worry.

I'll be back.

Don't leave from here.

- What's going on?

- Nothing.

- Where's your boss.

- He's inside.

Inside.

- Was it one of them?

- No.

Nobody will be spared.

We have information.

Nice. Here you are.

- Yes, sir?

- What's happening here?

Sir, it's a cyber cafe.

One of you minions carried out

an ATM scam.

25,000 were stolen.

I know it was one of them.

Tell me who.

Sir, they're kids.

- They

- Kids!

- Look there.

- Banwre.

Banwre, check the place.

Check everything.

- What's that?

- Sir

- Sir, be careful.

- What's this?

- That's expensive stuff, sir.

- Expensive eh!

What all are you hiding here?

- What's this?

- Those are cables.

- I see.

- It's just a cupboard.

We turned it into a door.

There was no space.

I see, this is what you're up to.

This is your empire.

No, sir, it's part of the workshop.

This is where you con people.

Sir, those machines are expensive

so they're kept here.

That boy was right here.

- Right here.

- Sir.

Sir, I did it.

You did? I knew it.

You'll get jailed for sure.

Come.

Take him away.

Stealing laptops.

Stealing from ATMs.

- It was credit card theft, sir.

- Credit card!

Your honour, Sarvesh Pathania is

the reason Pawankumar became a conman.
