[Night insect]
What did you do this time?
I never did anything.
They know Max is my brother.
They were trying to intimidate me and put some pressure.
But you scared them off.
Show me.
Sorry.
Does it hurt?
[Tongue click]
It's bearable.
Is it?
If I can get treatment like this after getting beaten up...
Then yeah, it's bearable.
[Soft music]
[Gentle music]
[Suspenseful music]
[Car trunk opens]
- Hi... - Hi...?
- Sorry. - Hi, Ashu.
Did I scare you? Sorry.
No, no...surprised, yes.
Just surprised.
- Buying stuff for home. - Yes.
It's my first time here.
This place is amazing. Everything is available in one place.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, fine. See you.
Where are you going with all that stuff?
I'll give you a ride home.
- Come on. - Is it?
Yes. Hop in.
You really did a good job building your house.
I was feeling right at home.
Thank you.
Look, Ashu. How Shardul behaved with you the other day
was really not okay.
I feel ashamed.
And Max should have--
Anyway, I apologise on their behalf.
[Poignant music]
You don't...
It wasn't so serious.
I wasn't holding any grudges.
[Car horn]
[Sigh]
Get out.
Ashu.
Get out!
Ashu, lock the door. Lock the door.
- Who are they? - Come out.
[Glass smashes]
[screams]
Get out!
Note the car's number.
Ashu, no! Ashu!
Oh, my God! Ashu!
[Dramatic music]
- Ashu! - [Horn blaring]
[screams]
[Fighting sound]
[Car horn]
[screams]
Hey don't.
Ashu! Ashu!
Don't move. Don't move.
- Ashu. Stay still. - Note the number.
[Indistinct chattering]
[Door opens]
- Max. - How is Nisha?
She is okay.
She is recording her statement.
Come on.
[Indistinct chattering]
- Max. - Nisha.
Is it done, madam?
I am so sorry, baby.
It will be okay.
You will be fine.
- Just... - God.
[Sobs]
I am sorry.
It's okay. It's okay.
Let's get you home. Come on.
Let's go.
Yes. And Ashu?
I'll look into it.
Max, they roughed him up pretty bad.
[Sobs]
If it wasn't for him...
I know. I know.
Let's first get you home.
I'll look into it. Come.
[Beeping]
Attention.
Accident prone area.
[Soft music]
How are you feeling?
Tip top.
You are laughing even after taking a beating.
All these medications
are making me feel tipsy.
[Laughing]
[Sigh]
Listen.
Thank you.
Why?
You saved Nisha's life.
She told me.
How is she now?
She is alright.
I just sent her home.
Who was behind all this, Max?
We don't know just yet.
We'll see.
Was it the boys from Shastri Colony?
We're in talks about a deal.
You said...crime mentality...
[Gentle music]
Janardan?
Who else can it be?
But Ashu was in talks with them about a deal.
And you haven't met Janardan yet.
He must be venting his frustration.
But why attack Nisha?
He must be following Ashu.
You said they first broke the window on Nisha's side.
Later, they beat Ashu up when he came out to stop them.
Why would Janardan attack Nisha?
Mrs. Deshmukh.
She's trying to make waves again.
- No. - Yes.
She always plays a double game.
This is her style.
First, she agrees to your terms,
and later, she manipulates the situation to raise her stakes.
And when you think your game's in place,
she manipulates you again.
I personally spoke to Surya.
Why would she do such a thing?
You seem to have unwavering faith in her.
After spending one night in jail with him,
you two really hit it off.
Are you even listening to yourself, Max?
I know what I see isn't real.
[Suspenseful music]
Remember when Savio and the boys beat you to a pulp.
I saw heaven and came back.
Are you sure it was heaven?
Or hell?
You were lying in the ICU.
You could barely move your neck.
You even ate through a straw.
This is barely a scratch compared to that.
Who was it this time?
I don't know.
Tell me what happened.
Same old same old.
[Chuckles]
Was it in connection with Max's construction project?
No... something is happening
internally with the Deshmukhs.
Deshmukh's who?
Mrs. Deshmukh?
Yes, that.
What is going on between them?
Are they at war?
I don't know.
Mrs. Deshmukh is a seasoned player.
Call me if you find out anything.
Tell me honestly, Ashu.
You are playing some kind of a game.
24/7.
[Door opens]
[Beeping]
[Pain in screams]
[Breathing heavily]
Are you crazy?
What are you doing here?
Thought I should see for myself
how badly you get roughed up.
It's pretty bad.
[Breathing heavily]
Why did you beat me so much?
It's always the full package.
We never hold back.
So tell me... why is your brother Max so calm?
Remember what you said?
He won't spare Mrs. Deshmukh and Surya as soon as he finds out.
Where is your brother Max?
Calm down.
Let him do things his own way.
Does that hurt?
You want me to stay calm.
Everything is going according to the plan.
[Police siren blaring]
- Check the vehicles. - Yes, sir.
Max will soon take care of things.
[Dramatic music]
He is the thief who went to the police.
- Come on. - Sir, we found the car.
The plates match.
They had it covered up.
- Seize it. - Yes, sir.
- What is wrong? - Come on, quickly.
Let's go. Please.
[Winces in pain]
One thing is fixed.
If I don't get what I want,
then your next trip will be to your graveyard.
[Winces in pain]
The number plates she provided us belongs to Surya Deshmukh.
His men even confessed in custody
to setting your car on fire.
This is an FIR against Surya.
Please sign it.
Direct FIR, is it?
[Sigh]
Narvekar sir, we need some time.
Why?
What happened, Max?
Nothing, baby.
- This is an important step. - Yeah...
It cannot be undone.
But why would we want to undo it?
Exactly, we won't.
So, let's discuss this first before taking any steps.
What's to discuss?
I was attacked.
And we are filing an FIR.
Are we going to let them off so easily?
You think I will let them off so easily.
You...
Max, please tell me what's going on?
[Sigh]
Nisha, this Surya whom the police arrested,
can be our leverage for the project.
Leverage?
Your family was attacked, and you are worried about leverage.
What if it was Ira instead of Ashu?
Then I would have buried them alive.
That won't happen.
Try to understand.
I don't understand!
I've been attacked!
Let me handle this...
Let me handle this, okay?
No, it's fine.
I love you.
It's...
Narvekar sir...we need some time.
Okay, sir. Give me a call.
Fine.
Let's go.
[Footsteps]
[Birds chirping]
Come, uncle. Sign the MOU.
Show me your original documents.
Aadhar Card. Pan Card. Property papers.
Janardan? Where have you been?
- I was here... - I thought you disappeared.
Sit.
- Pull up a chair and sit. - Why would I disappear?
I am right here.
Sit.
[Sigh]
How could this happen with Surya?
How can the police arrest him like this?
Someone's playing games with him.
Who?
People say that you are the mastermind.
[Laughing]
What are you saying, aunty?
Who said this? Bring him before me.
What connection do I have with all this?
Exactly. Even I came to the same conclusion.
Janya can never do such a thing.
- Exactly. - Right?
Because...a mastermind needs to have a mind,
which you don't...
[Laughing]
Oh, God.
Three people have been missing since yesterday.
Okay.
Now, when Surya comes out of jail,
all those playing games against him
will have to face his...
He must. We'll do it.
- He is going to make them pay. - There is no showing mercy.
Don't disappear again, son.
Why would I disappear? Why do you keep saying that?
I don't understand.
Hurry up.
[Suspenseful music]
Really?
Getting special treatment from nurses after getting beaten up.
[Tongue click]
Only your treatment is special.
Rest are all sisters here.
Is that so?
[Chuckles]
[Winces in pain]
Why did you do that?
- I was only checking. - What?
Has it gone numb, or does it still pain?
Why would it be numb? It's still paining.
Listen, Ashu.
Do you like getting beaten up?
[Tongue click]
Always crossing paths with the wrong kind of people.
I don't.
I see.
Do you pop up out of nowhere unintentionally?
What is this?
Butter-garlic prawns, I made it myself.
Does your boyfriend know you are here?
No...he's in Bongonda taking care of some business.
He will return in a few days.
Will he?
[Soft music]
[Breathing heavily]
Wasn't that for me?
Says who?
Give me some.
Hey, baby.
[Kisses]
See...I got you your favourite flowers.
Keep it over there, Max.
Okay.
Nisha, how long are you going to stay angry?
Why? Is it inconvenient for you?
- Baby, you know I care. - No. Actually, I don't.
Nisha, finally things are going in the right direction.
The project is about to begin.
There is so much to do, baby.
Max, I hate to be the buzzkill,
but I feel your priorities and my expectations are slightly different.
And me...
Everything that I am doing-
- who am I doing it for? - Please, Max, don't try that with me.
What else should I do, Nisha?
Things can only be sorted if we talk it out.
Max, just...
I am very angry right now.
Let's talk later.
Okay? Just give me some space.
[Gentle music]
[Kisses]
[Ambulance siren blaring]
[Door opens]
So, stutter...
What do you want?
Won't I come see my in the hospital?
Did you break anything?
No, no, all good.
Is everything okay?
[Winces in pain]
They did rough you up pretty badly?
[Tongue click]
But why did they beat you up?
How would I know?
[Breathing heavily]
You had a childhood friend called Sharad.
Straight A guy, topper of the class.
Innocent guy.
He didn't let you copy from his paper in a single exam.
Then something happened...
Something that you said to him
made Sharad lose his marbles.
A guy who never hurt even a cockroach in his life,
was beating you up like a madman.
Your uniform was covered in red.
But there is one thing.
You didn't raise your hand.
And quietly took all the beating.
And later... Sharad was thrown out of school.
I can sniff something similar in this situation.
Don't go around sniffing unnecessarily.
Is it?
You sat in jail trying to turn that Surya to your side.
But to no avail.
He went home and did exactly what his mother said.
In fact, my advice to you is
to stop advocating that Surya.
He's the kind of guy that can bite his owner.
What rubbish are you talking about?
You came here to listen to this rubbish.
Motherfucker!
[Poignant music]
[Traffic noise]
[Pours a drink]
I went to meet him.
Why?
To see how broken up is he,
and to find out what's going on.
And you went to ask him that.
Max, I doubt that...
I postponed the police complaint,
so we can deal with this matter our way.
And you are running your own little investigation.
Max, if we plan this out...
If my family had been attacked 10 years ago,
would you still be thinking of a plan of action, Shardul?
[Chair rustles]
Look, Max.
I know for sure that Surya and Mrs. Deshmukh
have nothing to do with this attack.
I don't trust you as much as you trust them.
What rubbish is this, Max?
I am trying to sort things out and you are talking nonsense.
I am not talking nonsense.
The boys from Shastri Colony attacked Nisha and this is confirmed
And Mrs. Deshmukh's word is the law in Shastri Colony,
these were her words, not mine.
I will not spare them, Shardul.
We have to strike them where it hurts the most.
Their business.
Forget a villa, I won't get her a little shanty
in Shastri Colony.
I've said this before and I am saying it again.
Surya or I have nothing to do with this.
[Poignant music]
Take my advice.
We need to calm Max down before the deal gets cancelled.
Own up to everything and apologise.
Let's not make this any bigger.
Listen here...
We never vent our frustration with a guy
on his woman or family.
Apologise, my foot.
Now make yourself scarce. Get lost.
[Suspenseful music]
Uncle. Are you free?
I will talk to him.
But this stays between the three of us...
Uncle.
Welcome. Welcome.
Come, sit.
Sit down.
Uncle, you won't interfere in this matter.
My family has been attacked.
Calm yourself down.
These things are common in our business.
If you act hotheaded like this,
it will mess you up.
If I do nothing, then people will think I was scared.
Let them talk.
Let people talk. Keep yourself calm.
Keep your ego on the side.
I've a question. You've a short temper, don't you?
Take it out on me.
But...sit down calmly with Deshmukh madam
and settle this matter.
Get it.
Don't nod your head.
I want to hear it from your mouth. From the Max's mouth.
I will...talk to Mrs. Deshmukh and settle this out.
Amazing. Fantastic.
I am very proud of you.
[Suspenseful music]
[Car break screeches]
Our company's hoarding is bang on the highway, Ashu.
Whenever I am down, I go look at it.
The fire, ambition and confidence I can see
in my eyes in that hoarding...
That makes me focus again.
That hoarding reminds me that I can't give up.
And this is not the time to think from the heart, Ashu.
We need to think from the mind.
And anyway...we are not taking any action against Mrs. Deshmukh.
We've already brokered a deal with her.
And it's not confirmed whether Surya is behind this attack.
So let the police do their job while we focus on the business.
Who decided this? You did?
We all came to this decision together.
Me, uncle, Shardul and Pedro.
Who told uncle about this?
[Sigh]
Shardul and Pedro.
Meaning...those who attacked your family
are going to be your partners.
You can deal with Janardan, Max.
- He won't double-cross you... - Ashu, you are still stuck on that.
You are making a mistake in trusting Deshmukh Bai and Surya.
They attacked Nisha.
Ashu, I am grateful you saved Nisha's life.
But you don't teach me how I have to protect my family.
[Dramatic music]
[Door opens]
Rascal...
I should have never trusted you...
What happened? What...
Surya got bail.
Because Max did not file an FIR.
Now they will make a deal and I am finished.
I will talk to Max.
- He will do something. - Shut up.
Absolutely quiet.
I heard enough of you.
Now you will listen to me.
You are going to save me.
Yes...
[Intense music]
[Breathing heavily]
How are you?
I've a risky job for you.
Will you do it?
[Dramatic music]
[Door closes]
[Car horn]
[Car break screeches]
Stopping the car in the middle of the road.
[Car's door opens and closes]
[Suspenseful music]
[Breathing heavily]
[Phone rings]
Yeah.
Hello. Mr. Max Gaonkar.
This is Ms. Gonsalves Suleta.
Child custody arbitrator.
Mr. Gaonkar, we spoke about the Shardul-Rakhi case.
You were supposed to send me a signed guarantee
about Mr. Shardul.
Madam, I can't guarantee you that.
Shardul will make a good father in the future.
And I won't sign any papers.
[Phone rings]
Ashu. You were right.
Deshmukh family is a fucking...
What happened, bro?
They painted my hoarding black.
Is it? Are you sure it was them?
Who else would dare to touch Max Gaonkar's hoarding?
Now?
What now?
Time to give them a befitting reply.
Something they will remember for the rest of their lives.
Remember, as kids you always said
"When Max is here, say no to fear".
I am going to say that now.
"When Ashu is here, say no to fear."
Janardan paid me a visit.
He will do the job for us.
[Cars approaching]
Why hasn't Max arrived yet?
Where can he go?
He will show up sooner or later.
Wait, I'll be right back.
Where do you think you are going?
Smoke your cigarette right here.
I know...you smoke.
Okay, fine. I'll be right back.
[Thunder rumbles]
[Lighter clicks]
[Fighting sound] [Screams]
[Car's door opens]
Where are you?
[Car's closes]
Surya. Surya.
[Gun shot]
Mother.
[Cars approaching]
Mother.
Hey, Surya. Laugh now.
Janya...
Laugh, you rascal.
[Gun shot]
Hello.
Madam, the Deshmukh case is getting really heated up.
That was pretty fast.
Ashu, what game are you playing?
I am not playing any games.
You said I should inform you if I find out anything.
Is it?
You can't stand up on your feet, and yet you got this information.
The information doesn't need a pair of legs.
[Chuckles]
Tell me what the information is.
[Breathing heavily]
[phone rings]
What is it? What is it?
- Did you do it? - Yes.
- Where is the body? - In the trunk.
Janardhan, so it's a complete takeover?
Where is Max?
Yes...and what about my deal.
Who else is left in the picture?
Max is going to deal with you now.
Listen, throw away the phone and sim card.
Okay, fine. I'll call you back later, okay.
[Suspenseful music]
- Yes, sir. - [Knock on glass]
Where to?
I was heading to Mapse.
What is your name?
Janardan.
Janardan what?
Janardan Deshmukh.
Show your licence.
Of course, sir.
Now open your boot.
- Why the boot? Please... - I said open the boot!
Open the boot!
[Car trunk opens]
What is this?
Take him in.
Shardul, I am really sorry about this.
But you will only get a supervise visit.
But custody...will stay with Rakhi.
[Suspenseful music]
[Dramatic music]
