Get lost.
Two thousand.
I'll get the rest tomorrow.
It's not a charity.
-It's a request, just this time. -Not possible.
-Please, brother. -I said, no.
You do look like my sister. So, buzz off.
For God's sake.
Don't bother me, bitch. Don't you get it?
Take that thing off.
What is it?
You do look like my sister.
Don't say that. It's fine.
It's alright.
Let go, I don't want it.
Hey, look here.
Don't sleep around, or else my sister will get a reputation because of you.
We are Nagas, and Nagaland belongs to us.
We will not let outside mercenaries exploit us.
That traitor, Jonathan Thom…
The lock isn't broken. It wasn't a forced entry.
He was cheating our people to feed his own greed and that of outsiders.
And we are supposed to be mere spectators?
They probably knew the assailant.
Could this be revenge for Thom's killing?
Did the neighbors hear or see anything?
The constables are asking around.
-Sir! -Yes, sir?
All three have the same tattoo on their arms.
It could be a date,
possibly…
December 15, 1997.
We recovered from them the mobile phone
on which the confession video was recorded.
Ma'am, is it true that the three were associates of Reuben Thom?
Prima facie, the three had some connections
with the Naga Youth Council,
but we're still investigating all possible angles.
We don't have any other information at this moment.
-Ma'am! Ma'am! -Thank you.
Sir! Sir!
They're saying the three found dead were from your party.
Back off!
Did you order your father's killing?
You need to explain this. Sir!
Our sources have confirmed that those three are from your party.
Sir! Please, sir.
Screw them!
Find out who else was looking for those three.
Where can I find Manoj?
It's the fifth shop on the right.
Manoj?
Who's asking?
Delhi Police.
Raghu is a distant relative.
He did visit a couple of times,
but it's been a while. I don't remember.
Ah, you don't remember!
Alright, then.
How old is your son?
He's seven.
That's all good, then.
He's too young to remember the beating you're going to get now.
And by the time he grows up, you'll be back from jail.
I think I remember something.
He was seeing some girl here.
Who's that?
I swear I don't know.
But he would get calls.
And he used to go to a hotel.
When was the last time he came here?
About a fortnight ago.
But by then, he had been fired from his job.
What was he doing here?
Spit it out!
Throw this dog in jail.
He thinks he's the shit.
Wants to help people cross the border.
I am sorry, sir.
He wanted the number of an agent
who could get two people across the border.
Him and who?
Was it that girl Rose Lizo?
Don't know about that.
He gave me some advance for the agent.
Which this genius blew away.
Save the beating for later.
Hey.
What's the name of the hotel? The one Raghu used to visit.
Don't remember the name, but it's in New Market.
That's where he would go.
-New Market? -Yes.
Joy to the world, the Lord is come
Let Earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare Him room
And Heaven and nature sing
Joy to the earth, the Savior reigns
Let men their songs employ
They came here in '97.
Orphans of the Langchoma shootout.
I read a bit about it.
It was a shootout between two rebel factions, right?
Well, that's one version.
Is it true that after leaving the orphanage,
they joined Reuben Thom's Nagaland Youth Council?
Yes. But…
they didn't last long.
Then, they joined another
rebel outfit.
They were drifters,
kids trying to find a home.
Eventually, they realized their mistake
and left the rebel group.
They had plans
to lead a normal life.
But…
they put out a video claiming responsibility
for Jonathan Thom's murder.
I know. It doesn't add up.
The video and all that happened.
But I also know for a fact
those three had already surrendered
under the amnesty drive.
And they were waiting for the compensation to come in.
In fact, I might have a picture somewhere.
Just last month, I spoke to Mr. Reddy
to expedite the compensation claim.
Sorry, who?
Kapil Reddy.
The person who initiated the amnesty drive.
Sir, these three had already surrendered.
They were planning to start a business together.
Surrender?
Then why commit this killing in Delhi all of a sudden?
Exactly.
And guess in whose presence they surrendered?
Who?
Kapil Reddy.
Kapil Reddy?
Sir, what was the name of Reddy's wife's hotel?
The Rüli. Why do you ask?
Inspector Hathi Ram Chaudhary, from the Delhi Police.
I was hoping to meet with Mrs. Grace Reddy.
Sure, sir. Do you have an appointment?
Sorry. Ma'am is very busy today.
But if you leave your card,
I'll make sure she calls back at the earliest.
Excuse me, sir. That's a private area.
Our offer is already quite generous.
And you know the market rates post-pandemic.
Excuse me, sir. This is a private area.
Sir.
What's going on?
Ma'am, I tried to stop him--
I'm from the Delhi Police, ma'am. Hathi Ram Chaudhary.
We've met at Mr. Thom's funeral.
It better be important, officer.
We are looking for this man
in relation to Mr. Thom's murder case.
His name is Raghu Paswan.
I've heard he used to frequent your hotel.
Would that qualify as important?
Have you seen him around?
Give him access to our CCTV footage.
And show this picture to all our employees.
-Yes, ma'am. -See if anyone recognizes him.
Yes, ma'am.
Next time, officer, take an appointment.
Sir.
Jai Hind, sir.
Is the job done, champion?
It was a cakewalk.
Look who's calling!
Are you alright?
I am, now that I've heard your voice.
Yeah, right!
Is your tummy alright?
No acidity, I hope?
None. I took the ayurvedic mix you made for me.
All good with you?
Ma'am, got the solution for a+b.
Solve a-b now.
By the way, what did you decide?
You're coming, right?
I'm trying, but…
It's his eighteenth birthday,
as special as they come.
The ticket's worth eighteen thousand, too.
Do you get it now?
We'll figure something out.
I have started giving tuitions.
We'll get some money from that.
What's with this nonsense now?
This new hobby of yours is going to cost me again.
How is my giving tuitions at home going to cost you anything?
Just admit it.
If your wife earns, you feel less of a man.
If that's what you think, so be it.
Maybe that's who I am.
If that works for you, fine. Or else--
Or else?
Or else what?
Guddu.
My name is Guddu.
What a lovely name!
Sir, what's going on?
We couldn't get to know each other earlier.
How long have you worked here?
Bonku…
So, Mr. Ghosh…
how long has it been?
-It's been five years, sir. Why? -I see…
So you must be well aware that Nagaland is a dry state.
Of course, sir.
Tell me then, what's the penalty for being caught with a bottle of alcohol here?
Alcohol?
-This isn't fair, sir. -Neither is life.
Or you wouldn't have lied to me about never having seen Raghu Paswan.
The thing is, you seem like a decent guy, Mr. Ghosh.
A gentleman.
Yes.
I hope you're aware of what they do
to gentlemen like you in prison.
Are you getting my drift?
So out with everything you know.
Raghu Paswan used to come to the hotel every month.
And I used to hand him one lakh worth of cash.
How much?
One lakh rupees, sir.
It was by Mr. Reddy's order.
I'm just a lowly accountant. I had nothing else to do with it.
Are you sure it was one lakh every month?
Absolutely.
Sir, please put in a word with the ACP about my case, if you will.
-Jai Hind, sir. -Jai Hind, sir.
-This is-- -Salaam Alaikum, sir. Bittu Rehman.
Follow me, sir.
Let me show you a good time.
Hey, how are you?
Good. Thanks, mate.
Sir, I'll be right back.
Hey!
I think we should go.
This place is packed.
Sir, you can take this table.
We were just leaving.
Don't worry. It's not a raid.
It's not that.
I have a uric acid condition.
More than two drinks and I won't be able to walk tomorrow.
People get rather creative with their excuses at the sight of a cop.
By the way, what happened at Reddy's hotel?
DCP Bhardwaj had called.
Apparently, Reddy wasn't too pleased.
Next time the DCP calls,
let him know that Raghu Paswan used to go to Reddy's hotel every month.
Yes.
Shocking, right?
And he would collect one lakh rupees
every month from there.
A lakh?
-But-- -I'm wondering the same thing.
Raghu used to give fifty thousand rupees to Rose every month.
Where did the rest of the money go?
I don't get their game.
If their plan was to murder Thom and cross the border,
then why didn't Raghu come back to Manoj?
No clue, sir.
If DCP Bhardwaj calls you,
tell him it was I who had ordered you to be strict with Reddy's wife.
That's what I told him.
I'll be right back.
Sir, ma'am is calling you…
Hello, ma'am, the ACP is in the loo.
Hello, who is this?
Hello?
I'm with the ACP.
He has gone to the loo.
I'll have him call you once he's back.
Okay.
Actually, I was just getting on a flight.
Tell him we'll talk tomorrow.
Thanks.
It's here. Please, start.
Let's dig in.
Sir…
The phone kept ringing.
So, I picked it up, thinking it was urgent.
Sir!
His flight had started boarding. He said he will call you tomorrow.
Please, start.
Many times, I thought of telling you…
about Uzair.
But then I'd be reminded of the department.
You know how it is…
Please don't mention this to anyone.
Listen, Ansari.
Sorry, sir.
Can I call you Ansari just this once?
Then listen up, Ansari.
I'm a Jat boy, a country bumpkin.
I haven't got a clue about these things.
You know what I mean?
But I do know that if this feels right to you,
then that's all there is to it.
Don’t lose sleep over what suckers like me might think of this.
Can I say something, too, sir?
When it's just us, call me Ansari.
"Sir" doesn’t roll off your tongue easily.
All good at home?
Don't ask.
It's Siddharth's birthday tomorrow.
She wanted me to visit for a day.
I said I can't make it. Tickets are too expensive.
That was it.
All hell broke loose.
Tell me something.
Do you guys, too, fight over the same shit?
Don't ask. It's the same story here as well.
Fuck this!
What's the whole point then?
Good morning, sir.
You have fifteen minutes to leave for the airport.
Why? What's the big occasion?
Ansari sir had called me last night after we left the bar.
Ticket?
This is for today. Let me talk to him.
He said he would be sleeping in, so we should not disturb him.
The car's ready, and so is the chauffeur.
Let's get going.
What's the hold-up? It's all planned. You just have to catch the flight.
-What's with your leg? -Fuck knows!
It's been acting up off and on.
-Help me pack. -Of course.
Yes, sir.
Thank you.
Please wish Siddharth on my behalf.
Sure.
The talks for the Nagaland Business Summit will resume today in Delhi.
This comes after the unprecedented disruption in the talks
due to the gruesome murder of Nagaland Democratic Forum
founder Jonathan Thom.
It will now be interesting to witness the recommence of the talks
under the shadow of this murder
and where it leads the future of the state.
Mr. Reddy, this is the next point.
Point number three on the agenda
is job reservations for the Nagas
in the ventures initiated under this summit.
The Home Ministry advises
a fifty percent cap on this,
so as to keep the proposal attractive to the investing companies.
What about the individual reservations for the tribes?
And two, we need to talk about
giving jobs to the surrendered rebels.
Sir, the businesses will not be comfortable with this,
as it might lead to trade union issues in the future.
So, you want us to abandon those who fought for our rights?
I don't get it.
-Wait. -No, no, no.
Do you understand the word "surrendered"?
These are the people who have given up arms
and are looking for a normal life.
Why can't we give them a second chance?
This is what true reconciliation is.
-Yeah, that's true. -Yeah.
Mr. Sinha…
I think they are making a fair demand.
Whose side are you really on, Mr. Basu?
We're all on the same side, Mr. Sinha.
What's good for Nagaland is good for India.
Excuse me.
Mr. Reddy?
Your father didn't leave behind a fortune.
He left behind a damn mess.
Now I need time to clean it up.
Is that so?
I'm giving you a week.
Transfer the money, or else…
Relax, I'll talk to your mother.
Don't you get it?
I am in charge now!
Dammit, Reuben, listen to me. They are watching us right now.
Just freaking lie low and
give me some time to arrange the money.
How do I know it wasn't you who got my father killed for this money?
After all…
it was you who convinced him to join these talks.
You know what your father used to call you?
A damn half-wit.
Now, I think he was being too kind.
And if you're really in charge,
try keeping the phone's speaker off next time.
Idiot.
You look distracted, Mr. Reddy.
I hope I don't have to remind you
how important this summit is for all of us.
Especially for you.
And yet, here you are, reminding me.
He's been planning it for a while.
He put all your father's money into his businesses,
under his name.
Why didn't you warn Dad?
You think I didn't?
Did you have anything to do with the murder of those three?
If I could kill somebody,
I'd have killed my father.
You know it.
Someone's trying to frame me.
I was only looking to find out who.
What do we do now?
Grace is meeting investors, trying to sell off her properties here.
Once that happens,
what’s to stop the Reddys from running away with our money?
Easy, look ahead.
Yes, sir?
Sister-in-law!
Break everything you see!
Brother, please leave him! Brother!
Please…
Please let go, brother.
Who are you?
What do you want?
If you outsiders want to live in Nagaland,
then don't buy those hotels from the Reddys.
Hear me?
Sir, this guy wants to speak to you.
He says it’s important.
Sir, I know where Rose Lizo is.
You'll live a hundred years!
Welcome back.
No place like home, is there?
Even for a high-flier like you these days.
Good boy.
When I told you I was coming, why did you have to call him?
Jitu also wanted to meet Siddharth.
What are you lovebirds on about?
Save the romance for the air-conditioned drive.
I've got the latest collection of MP3s on my pen drive.
You'll love it.
Can I pee first? Or should I save that for the drive as well?
Come on, get ready.
Guddu, you too.
Vroom! Vroom! In the car.
Shall we?
Oh, God.
It was 304, right?
Get the cake and the lunch box.
Let's go, Guddu.
The lenses get all fogged up in the air conditioning.
Sure, it was snowing inside as well.
Here, take this.
Of course.
Happy birthday, Siddhu!
Mom?
That's Ananya, my classmate.
Call your other friends as well.
We'll cut the cake with everyone.
Your father is getting it.
But, Mom, I had plans to go out with my friends.
-When? -Now.
There's a movie at 5:00 p.m., and then dinner.
I cooked all your favorite food.
I thought we would eat together.
But, Mom, you should've told me you were coming.
It was meant to be a surprise!
There you are, Mr. Engineer.
Happy birthday, my boy.
You've become quite handsome.
He is going out with his friends.
Dad, I didn't know you guys were coming.
I've already invited people, they're coming over.
The tickets have been booked.
So what?
Your father has come all the way from Nagaland just for your birthday.
That's alright.
We just wanted to see you on your birthday, that's all.
Let's cut the cake. He's getting late.
Take this.
Keep it there.
Jai Hind, sir.
-Here are your car keys. -Yes.
Inspector Chaudhary had mentioned the clutch plate wasn't functioning properly.
I got it serviced. You won't have any issues anymore.
Thank you.
-That's alright, sir. -Please take it.
If you can, just help me with my case.
Sure.
-Hello. -Is this ACP Ansari?
Yes, speaking.
I know where Rose Lizo is.
What? Who is this?
Are you sure it's Rose Lizo?
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday, dear Siddhu!
Happy birthday to you!
Amazing.
Where exactly is Daklane Road?
Sister, it's me.
We met in the morning.
How did you know where I live?
Look, I just felt a connection.
And don't worry, I don't want to get fresh with you or anything.
I just got some stuff for you.
I'll leave it by the door, okay?
If you need more, just let me know.
-Is it done? -Yes, I took them there.
Don't come closer. I'll kill you!
-Let go of me! -Shut up!
Let her go, Reuben.
Or I'll blow your brains out.
Don't get mixed up, officer.
-Let go of him. -Drop it!
-I'll shoot you. -I said drop it!
Let go of him, or I'll shoot her.
I said let her go. Drop it!
Hey, stop!
Stop, Rose!
Rose!
Don't shoot.
Rose, stop!
Rose!
Got it, boss. I'll find her.
Shut up, bitch!
Hey!
Come with me!
Come on, move!
Move!
Get in the car!
Get in!
Shit!
Rose Lizo, I am arresting you for the murder of Jonathan Thom.
