[Birds chirping]
Is it fresh?
It's freshly baked.
Aren't you Amy?
Yes. You?
Did Ashu do that?
Sorry. Who are you? I didn't recognize you.
He used to work for me when he was in prison.
I have known him for many years.
Did Ashu hit you?
You know him since many years.
Don't you even know that?
Ashu can never do this.
Good.
I think you are his first girlfriend.
I hope I can call you his girlfriend.
[Chuckles]
Do you know when I met Ashu the first time?
14 years ago riots broke out in central jail suddenly.
I was sent to investigate the matter.
Do you know? Exactly 20 days before the incident,
the most powerful and dangerous gangster in prison,
fell for a new prisoner.
He was going to rape him.
But before that riots broke out and the gangster was killed.
[Poignant music]
Ma'am, do you want anything? Actually, I am busy.
Ashu is as dangerous as he is innocent.
But a weak person can do anything to defend himself.
Exactly.
Did you hear?
We had to release the rape case culprit recently.
The rape victim makes cocktails in Smiti bars and cafes.
Have you ever been there?
Of course.
Did Ashu speak to any staff there?
[Suspenseful music]
The very next day she changed her statement.
And withdrew her complaint.
Ashu is completely obsessed with Max.
He can do anything to anyone just to impress Max.
Ashu poses maximum threat to those who love him.
So just be careful.
[Suspenseful music]
[Traffic sound]
- Good morning. - Good morning, Rachael.
I will have my regular coffee.
Sure.
Hi.
Maxi, hi.
I think somebody has come to his senses.
Did you understand what you did wrong?
I didn't do anything wrong.
[Sigh]
Pedro.
We have to start a new company for Nisha.
Nisha will do all her work through that company.
Okay.
We will also divert our funds through that account.
Did you understand?
It will be done, Maxi.
Nisha shouldn't find out about...
Okay.
Okay, Maxi. I had some urgent work.
Tell me. Sit.
No.
I want you to meet somebody.
We will have to go to Valpoi.
Valpoi? Now?
The sooner the better.
[Birds chirping]
[Water splashes]
Ira.
- Hi. - Hi.
Hi, uncle Ashu.
- You are enjoying it a lot. - Yes.
You also come in the pool.
No. I don't know swimming.
It's very easy.
No.
Where is your dad? Do you know?
No.
He has gone to Valpoi.
All the way.
What happened?
No. His phone was switched off.
Yes. There isn't any network at that place.
Did you have some work?
No. Nothing urgent.
Mom, tell uncle Ashu to get into the pool.
No. No.
Yeah. Actually, why don't you join us?
You can meet Max when he comes.
No. I don't know swimming.
The pool isn't so deep. You won't drown.
Do you have some other work?
No. I don't have any work.
Yes. So stay here.
I will get you some swimming trunks.
- Yeah. - [Water splashing]
[Dramatic music]
Not coarsely. Chop it finely.
Chop it into small pieces.
Pedro.
Who do you want me to meet?
When you will hear it from him,
you will believe it.
You don't trust me anymore.
Come.
I was in transport duty in prison.
I used to ferry prisoners from prison
to police station for interrogation.
And bring them back.
After judicial custody,
there is no need to go for interrogation.
This guy used to go to the police station everyday for interrogation.
From prison to police station. From police station to prison.
I got suspicious.
I checked the register.
The guy used to change his name.
Sometimes Anurag.
Sometimes Imtiaz.
Sometimes Vishal.
I caught him.
[Laughing]
Poor guy.
What does it mean, Joseph?
It means...
he was working for the police. He was an informer.
Clever clap.
[Laughing]
Isn't it him?
Yes. That's him.
[Laughing]
That's him.
Yes. So?
Ashu used to work for the police.
One needs to do all that in prison.
After being released?
He is meeting inspector Leena regularly. For what?
So what if he is in touch with her?
Both of you are hell-bent after Ashu.
We aren't, Maxi. He is hell-bent after us.
For revenge.
Revenge?
Have you started taking drugs again?
Have you lost your mind? Revenge for what?
[Breathing heavily]
Maxi, we exploited him right from the beginning.
We sent him to prison.
He is not naïve anymore.
He is feigning innocence and trying to screw us.
You have gone crazy.
Did he go to prison because of us?
Will he get a medal for murdering someone?
Silent partner.
Will you help me out? Will you please explain to him?
What partner?
He couldn't even give guarantee for me.
What is the guarantee that you are the best partner for me?
And I should take the guarantee that you will be a good father?
Rascal.
What I didn't do for you.
Stop it!
Fuck.
[Car crashing]
Fuck.
[Breathing heavily]
Fuck.
What...
[Car's door opens and closes]
Fuck you, guys.
Fuck. You guys screwed my car.
He fucked my life. What about that?
Fuck your life. Look at my car right now.
You guys are trying to kill each other.
Why are you telling me? Tell him.
I am telling both of you.
What the fuck do we do now?
You know what? All three of us will give it a push.
Do you think I am a crane?
- You push it. - What is this?
- What is your problem? - Pedro, check the network.
Yes. Network. Network.
There is no network.
Shaddy, check yours.
If there is no network in both your phones, do I have a separate network?
Why are you snapping at me? What did I do?
Both of you fight like kindergarten children.
You punched me here.
Idiots.
Let's go quickly. We will find another car.
Fuck, man.
Come on.
Look. Push your body.
[Water splashes]
Well done, Ira.
Okay, uncle Ashu. Now you come.
I will just come.
- You won't drown. Come on. - Ashu, it's not deep. You can stand.
Yes. Come on.
Push. Yeah.
[Water splashes]
[Coughs]
It's okay.
Come quickly.
You are fine. Come.
It's okay.
- You won't drown. - It's okay. It's okay, Ira.
Give him some time.
Come. Yes. Push.
Push your body. Yeah.
Yeah. Come.
[Water flushes]
[Water splashes]
Max!
Ashu.
- Ashu, it's okay. - [Breathing heavily]
[Water flushes]
Ashu.
[Breathing heavily]
[Water flushes]
Ashu. Ashu. Ashu.
Ashu, it's not deep. You can stand. You can stand.
- You can stand. It's okay. - [Breathing heavily]
You are okay. It's okay. It's okay.
- You are standing. - You can stand.
You are standing.
[Sigh]
[Breathing heavily]
Guys, I can't walk anymore.
I can't walk.
- It's not far. Come on. - No. Get a car.
Get a bullock cart. Anything will do. I am not walking.
How will the car come here?
Do you have network in your phone?
[Tongue click]
Let him sit. Or else we will have to roll him.
Drum roll.
[Laughing]
[Coughs]
At least at my expense you guys are laughing together.
[Breathing heavily]
Ashu has created divide and rule in our gang.
You have started again, Pedro.
Ashu was a member of our gang.
He went to prison. And all three of us were saved.
Ashu was never a member of our gang, Maxi.
- It was only the three of us. - Have you gone mad?
Ashu was also there.
- Ashu was also there. - Did you see?
But he wasn't in our gang.
He was the gang's joker.
He was a gang member. We used to do mischief together.
We used to pull each other's leg. What's wrong with both of you?
Yes. You used to ridicule him.
He used to follow you like a dog.
And we used to kick him together.
Nonsense.
Did you guys forget? All four of us had so much fun together.
During the Russian New Year.
[Laughing]
We met three girls. We thrashed someone.
- You are ogling at the girls. - Beat him.
- We had gone to the beach. - Querim Beach 2007.
Correct. Did you see? I remember it very well.
I wrote all four names on a stone.
Correct. Your memory is good.
But you forgot one thing.
It wasn't all four of us. It was only three of us.
- Ashu wasn't there. - Shardul, I wrote Ashu's name myself.
- Do you want to come and see? - Maxi.
- Do you want to come and see? - Maxi, Ashu wasn't with us.
You don't remember.
We sent Ashu behind those girls.
To tease them.
So that we can go as saviors and save them.
And beat Ashu and impress them.
Hey.
Maxi, it wasn't just once or twice.
We did that regularly.
Ashu used to think that he is a member of the gang.
But the fact is...
we used to screw Ashu.
We used to use the bugger.
[Breathing heavily]
Nonsense.
Ashu, I am so sorry. I didn't know you are terrified of water.
I...
I couldn't say no to Ira.
Did something happen in your childhood? Like some accident. Or...
Not accident.
But we were doing mischief in the river.
And I had a terrible time.
During 'Ganpati' festival.
[Sniffs]
We were dancing and then we entered the river.
We were playing with the water after the immersion.
Suddenly Shardul held my legs from behind.
[Chuckles]
Max and Pedro held my hands.
[Sniffs]
They submerged my head in the water.
[Water splashes]
And then, they released me.
Submerged me. Released me.
[Water splashes]
[Sniffs]
I was not told.
It was a sudden attack.
I wasn't ready.
I started screaming.
I started crying.
[Sniffs]
The more I cried...
Once more. Once more.
[Water splashes]
[Laughing]
The more they did it.
Ashu, that's horrible.
- Didn't you get angry? - No.
Max used to do this to make me stronger.
He would always say.
When Max is here, no need to fear.
[Chuckles]
[Sniffs]
Network is back.
Happy?
[Phone rings]
Hello.
It feels so nice to hear your voice.
Why? What happened?
Nothing.
Pedro's car broke down.
There was no network here.
So I just called to tell you that I will be late.
What are you doing?
Ashu has come. I am just making a drink.
- Who has come? - Ashu, Max.
[Suspenseful music]
Okay.
I will see you soon.
Okay. Bye.
- Let's go. - Who is with Nisha?
Sheetal.
Her friend.
Okay.
Hey.
My friend was sloshed and about to pass out.
And then, Max showed up.
I saw that a raw, strong man can be gentle and caring too.
I was trying to be my friend's wingman.
And I fell for a guy.
[Laughing]
I mean, you know, he was young and ambitious.
A civil engineer.
He wanted to be a real estate developer. I thought...
Did he rejoin college when I was in prison?
What do you mean by rejoin?
No. He failed in 12th grade.
Shardul also failed. Only Pedro passed.
[Suspenseful music]
Perhaps he completed 12th grade privately and then did engineering.
Obviously.
I will leave now.
- Finish your drink. - No. I am done.
- I have to meet Amy too. - Okay. Fine.
- Say hi to Amy. - Okay. Bye.
- Bye. - Bye.
[Cars approaching]
Bye, Maxi.
Goodnight, Max.
[Car's door opens and closes]
Where are you running?
[Footsteps]
[Doorbell rings]
[Door opens]
Why is your number unreachable? I tried many times.
I blocked you.
What do you mean?
Ashu, two things.
First of all, leave from here right now.
Secondly, you will never contact me again.
- Why are you saying that? - Come on. Leave.
- Leave. - What did I do?
Leave.
What is the problem? What did I do?
Nothing. Leave.
- Who said what to you? Tell me. - Ashu, leave.
[Door closes]
[Knocking on door]
Amy.
Don't block me.
[Knocking on door]
[Dramatic music]
[Waves crashing]
[Traffic noise]
[Car's door opens]
Ashu Gaonkar.
Yes.
Leena madam has sent me.
To pick you up.
Where? Police station?
Not police station. Another location, sir.
Madam told me to pick up Ashu. She will send the pin.
- Pin? - Location.
Come.
[Car's door opens]
[Car's door closes]
Did you get the pin?
I will call madam.
Yes, madam.
I have picked him up.
[Phone rings]
Yes. Tell me, Ashu. What do you want?
Where do I have to come?
Okay.
[Suspenseful music]
I understood.
What did madam say?
I have got the pin. I will put it on the map.
And then, I will drive as per the map's direction.
Can we stop for a cigarette?
Yes.
Open this.
Why have you locked it?
Get in.
What is it?
Get in.
Give me the phone.
Stop the car. Where are we going?
What?
- Yes, madam. - Yes. Salvi, listen.
Trace a number.
Yes. Give me the number, madam.
[Suspenseful music]
Leave me. What are you doing?
Leave me.
Rascal.
- Why did you bring me here? - I will tell you.
Sit down.
Why?
Hey. Sit down.
Tie him quickly.
- What did I do? - I will tell you what you did.
If I tell Maxi, both of you will be gone.
- Max. - [Slapping]
- Will you tell Max? - Shall I call up Max?
Shall I video call him?
No, Pedro.
Do that later.
First let me tackle him. We will inform Max later.
Here. Take the money and leave. Give me the phone.
Hold it.
Aren't you a police informer?
- Why should I tell you? - Don't you work for the police?
Aren't you a police informer?
Tell me.
Aren't you a police informer?
[Spitting]
Will you spit? Will you spit?
If Max finds out, he will thrash you very badly.
Shardul.
[Screams]
[Poignant music]
[Paper rustles]
[Zipping the bag]
[Phone rings]
- Yes, Nisha. - Where are you?
- Did you forget? - What?
School. Cultural day, Max.
- Today is Ira's performance, Max. - I know.
I am coming.
I will be there soon.
[Indistinct chattering]
Tell me quickly.
Aren't you a police informer? Tell me.
- Kill me. - Yes. I will kill you.
Finish me off.
[Slapping]
Hey. Hey.
- Shardul, leave it. - Leave me.
- Leave it. What are you doing, man? - He won't kill me.
Leave it.
Finish me off. Don't you want to kill me?
Ashu.
See your condition. Why do you want to get beaten?
Tell us.
What did you tell Leena about us? Tell me.
About you people?
- Tell you? - [Laughing]
Why are you wasting your time with him?
You leave it.
[Fighting sound]
[Audience applauding]
Wow.
That was an absolutely thought-provoking,
performance by class 4C.
Thank you.
Children, you can go into the wings now.
- That side. - Is Ira's performance over?
So please put your hands together for class 4B.
[Audience applauding]
[Phone rings]
Let's have a big round of applause.
It's an urgent call. I will have to take it.
- Yes, uncle. - Isn't the presentation tomorrow?
- Is it ready? - Yes, uncle.
The presentation is ready.
And clearance?
Did you manage Shinoy?
Am I doing it for the first time, uncle?
Please welcome the talented group of children of class 4E.
[Audience applauding]
All set, children?
You see, Max, we have to hold small children's hand,
and help them cross the road.
I think I will have to do the same thing with you.
Or else I will get screwed.
Uncle, I have personally checked everything. Don't worry.
Everything is ready, uncle.
Be there on time tomorrow.
[Soft music]
You missed Ira's performance.
What?
You should have called me.
- Really? - Yes.
Do you think I wanted to miss Ira's performance?
It was uncle's call. It was important.
Actually, Max, I don't know what you want.
Means?
I mean, I don't know anything.
What you show and what you hide, I don't know.
How true or untrue your words are.
What did I lie about?
Are you a civil engineer?
[Poignant music]
Yes.
Why?
[Sigh]
Who brainwashed you?
Calm down, Max.
Who told you that I am not a civil engineer?
- Max, I don't want to... - No.
- Who told you? - Max...
- No. Tell me. - Max..
- I want to know his name. - Stop it.
That was such a beautiful performance.
Please give them a big round of applause.
[Breathing heavily]
Listen to me. I am telling you.
Let's call Maxi.
He will open his mouth only in front of him.
Give me water.
[Breathing heavily]
Give me water.
Rascal.
- Do you want water? - Water.
Do you want water?
Hold that.
- Here is water. - Shardul,
that's disgusting. What are you doing, man?
Take this.
Pure natural water.
Drink it properly. Here.
Do you want more? Drink it.
Do you want more?
[Spitting]
Take it.
What did you tell the police? Tell me.
They know everything.
The police know everything.
What do they know?
Your phones are being tapped.
The office has been bugged.
[Breathing heavily]
Now you guys are gone. Gone.
Now you guys are gone.
[Laughing]
Now you guys are gone.
That was the most important step.
- Which one? - I was supposed to do this step. But I did this.
It's okay. You did so good.
Dad, where were you?
I am really sorry, Ira.
I missed your performance.
I had some work. So I had to leave.
Once we get the recording, we will watch it together.
This is a great idea.
- Yeah. - But now, it's dinner time.
- Come on. - Yeah.
Go and get ready.
- I love you. - I love you too.
We will eat together.
Yes.
Nisha.
For how long will you be angry?
[Pours a drink]
Nisha, I am really sorry.
18th December 2010.
Friday.
We met for the first time.
Your friend was sloshed and she created a scene at Joey's place.
You were sorting out the matter.
You didn't need my help. But I came. Because I wanted to know you.
It's later that I found out that you are an army officer's daughter.
And you work in advertising.
I thought, wow. Posh.
If I tell her I am a 12th fail, she won't even speak to me,
let alone befriend me.
[Sigh]
Nisha, my intention wasn't wrong.
All I wanted was that you should give me,
a second glance before you leave. That's it.
I really wanted to be a civil engineer.
Because I wanted to work in real estate.
I wanted to be a builder.
A well-known builder.
Tomorrow I am going to be a builder.
I have a presentation with the urban planning committee.
Good for you.
Good for us.
Why don't you understand?
Ever since you have come in my life, every day, every minute,
every second I think about making you happier.
Can't you see it?
Max.
I have just seen a different side of you.
- Ever since Ashu has come... - Please don't take Ashu's name.
It's all happening because of him.
Can't you see what you are for him?
What I am for him?
What all things do I see?
What I am for you? What I am for Ira?
What I am for Shardul and Pedro?
What I am for Ashu?
Who will think about who is there for me?
- Nobody. - Max.
[Phone rings]
Sorry.
It's really important.
[Lighter clicks]
[Phone rings]
Hello.
- Maxi. - Tell me.
We have found Ashu.
Where?
I have sent you the location. Come quickly.
It's very, very, very urgent. Please.
I am coming.
He is coming.
[Dramatic music]
