Babu!

Babu! Babu!

Babu?

Babu…

Babu, wake up!

Babu…

Why? Why have you brought me here?

Is he conscious? Good.

One minute.

So how did this happen?

Car.

I got hit by a car, doctor.

But your friend said

you got into a fight.

Right, first this car guy rammed into me,

then he got down and started a fight.

I'm feeling fine now. We're leaving.

It'll take some time for the X-ray report to come. Lie down.

Doctor, the child…

Coming.

Hospital?

Might as well have taken me straight to jail.

What else would I have done?

I was scared, man.

I thought you were done for.

Hey!

You love me so much?

Enough now. Save some tears for my funeral, too.

Are you crazy?

-Hey, stop. -Don't turn around.

Hey!

Where are you running off to?

I was looking for both of you.

Car accident case, right?

Who will lodge the complaint?

Where did this happen?

Excuse me?

The accident!

Please let us go, sir.

We're poor men, sir.

As it is, I'm badly injured.

How will I manage police station rounds?

Tell me your name.

Pyare.

He is Pyare Kumar.

And I am Mohan Kumar.

Address?

12, Fatehpur Haveli Road, Meena Bazar,

behind Jama Masjid.

Ticket…

Sonipat! Panipat! Chandigarh!

Sonipat! Panipat! Chandigarh!

Ticket! Ticket!

Sonipat, Sonipat!

Panipat! Panipat! Sonipat! Chandigarh, Chandigarh…

Take this.

Babu, police!

-Look at me. Look at me! -Babu…

Look at me!

Nothing will happen to us.

Go to your village, work as a farmer…

and lie low for some time.

I'll need time to figure out what to do next.

And where will you hide, Babu?

Jimmy…

With Jimmy.

22464, remember this number.

If you start shitting bricks, call me. Okay?

-22464. -22464.

-And listen… -22464…

Keep this.

Why, Babu?

They're hers…

-Keep it. -I don't want them.

Keep them, just in case.

Just keep them.

You're not angry with me, right?

Bye, bastard.

Ticket, ticket, ticket…

Ticket, ticket…

Laxman, Sanjeev, Vinod, and Nisar,

come to my cabin right now.

Look, Rajjo and Babu.

The suspected killers in the Arora case.

Who are these people?

Where have they come from?

What did they work as?

Are they in Delhi now? No one knows.

Any little piece of information about them

might prove useful in this case.

Our job isn't only to print headlines.

We must present this case as a social study.

Understand?

Get to work.

Go.

Why have you come here, Rajjo?

Uncle!

How's the film shoot going?

Film shoot?

Don't you see my condition?

It's thanks to the film shoot.

Be careful.

Oh…

My sister-in-law Rajjo has blessed us with her presence!

Brother-in-law, greetings.

Did your dancer friends kick your butt out?

Or are you here because you missed me?

You're home late today.

-Should I make roti for you? -No.

Make rotis for him.

You don't need to worry about my dinner.

I don't want to disturb you sisters while you're gossiping.

He's taken leave from work to be here for Rakhi.

I see.

So you've finally remembered your duties as a brother!

He's injured as well.

I've asked him to stay for a few days.

Go on, tie him a rakhi.

He may not be able to protect himself,

but he will definitely protect you.

Bloody cockroach!

It's only for a couple of days.

Where else can he go?

How dare you let that scoundrel in without my permission?

Please don't get angry!

And who are you to tell me that?

No! Let go…

You haven't been serviced in a long time!

That's why you're forgetting your place!

Both brother and sister need to be thrashed to let it sink in.

I'm surrounded by a bunch of bloody leeches!

Jai Hind, sir.

ASI Ahlawat, sir.

-This is the village, sir. -I see.

Sir, we've received a tip… and have our eye on a particular house.

This way, sir.

-This man. -This one?

Yes, sir.

-Sir. -Chandan?

Chandan…

-Who is it? -It's me…

Wait. Stop!

-Is your name Chandan? -Yes, sir.

Is Rajjo your brother-in-law?

Yes. Why, what's wrong?

-This officer is here from Delhi. -Okay.

-He's looking for Rajjo. -I see.

So tell me, where have you hidden your brother-in-law?

Come on.

Sir, he had come here…

And?

He disappeared last night?

Disappeared? Or did you send him away?

Sir…

Father is telling the truth, sir.

Uncle isn't here.

Do you have a photograph of him?

Uncle came here three days ago, sir.

Said he got injured at a film shoot in Bombay.

Rajjo might have fled back to Bombay…

How did you get hurt, child?

He was escaping on a moped,

and I tried to stop him.

So he hit me on my face, sir.

Sir, I'll arrange police checkpoints along the exits.

Okay. Has Rajjo mentioned someone named Babu?

Have you seen him? This man.

No?

-Have you? -Who is he, sir?

Rajjo's photo.

How did you get hurt?

I… slipped near the well.

What has Rajjo done, sir?

Your brother committed a murder and fled.

Murder?

Do you have any idea what's happening in Delhi?

There, your brother's a hero now!

But, sir…

that guy is a total wimp.

He can't even swat a fly,

let alone commit murder.

Rajjo has always hidden behind me.

Everyone would tease him by calling him a cockroach.

He really did turn out to be a cockroach, sir.

He can go to any lengths to save himself.

Any lengths…

Sir…

Sir.

Please listen to me, sir.

He took my moped. Please look into it.

Next time you hit your wife or your daughter,

I'll whip your butt so hard, you won't be able to wipe after you shit!

Go!

Close your fist.

You have a fracture, mister.

Uncle does action roles in films, doctor.

He keeps getting fractures.

He is a strong guy.

A superhero?

Shut up.

Stop laughing!

Bindi.

Oh, Bindi dear.

See, the weather Gods are also upset.

Come on, give me a smile, Bindi.

Eat some…

Have some chutney.

Careful, it's hot.

Tasty, isn't it?

The ones sold at movie halls are tastier.

-Really? -When I manage to save some change,

I go to watch films.

But please…

don't tell Father, he'll skin me alive if he finds out.

Me? Tell your father? No way.

You're just like your mother,

as pretty

and as much of a liar.

MURDER OF ARORA CHILDREN MANHUNT ON FOR TWO SUSPECTS

Uncle, what's wrong?

Too spicy?

Bindi, I just remembered I have some important work.

I'll be right back.

Hello?

Hello, Babu?

Have you seen the newspaper, bro?

Those kids… the police--

Come on, ask me how I'm doing first, Rajjo darling.

Are you serious?

Babu, every minute I'm scared the cops will come and nab me!

All newspapers carry stories of what happened that night.

I'm aware of that.

Tell me something new.

Babu, I really want to meet you.

As it is, I have this hanging over my head,

on top of that, my brother-in-law…

Just stay put wherever you're hiding.

Give me some time.

-Another thing… -What?

Find a nice tailor who will stitch up your busted butt!

I'll hang up now, bye.

Mister…

Sir.

Right now, we are here.

This road leads to Meerut,

and this road leads to Delhi.

So, which is the nearest highway, Ahlawat?

Sir, you can call this a highway if you want, but it's just a broken road.

He won't be able to get out of here easily.

If it were that easy to nab them, we wouldn't be here.

-Do one thing. -Yes.

Take your team and head toward Meerut.

-We'll search the other side. -Okay.

Okay, sir.

Let's go.

Seen him?

This man. See the photo.

Uncle.

Uncle!

Uncle!

What is it?

Are you really leaving for Bombay in the morning?

Take me with you.

I want to be an actor.

Want to be what?

An actor.

Uncle, I'm not joking.

I really want to be an actor.

See this.

See…

I even have my photos. See.

Don't I look like a star?

Don't I? See…

This one too.

I'm wearing a scarf in this one.

I went to the photo shop in the market

and got these taken secretly.

Look at this one.

Have you lost your mind?

What do you think you'll do there?

Your father will kill us both.

Want to be an actor!

Uncle, you call this living?

I can't even breathe in peace here.

And what's the point of living if you have to crush your dreams?

Bindi,

forget about all this.

See what I've got for you.

I bought them from a famous jeweler in Bombay.

Take it.

Aren't they pretty?

-I don't want gold earrings. -But they're so pretty.

Please just take me to Bombay.

Will you take me? Will you?

I'll always take good care of you.

Will you take me?

You'll take care of me?

-Yes. -What else will you do?

I'll do all your housework.

I'll make hot, round rotis for you.

And when I start working in films,

I'll give you all the money I earn.

Tell me.

Will you take me?

Uncle, will you?

Will you do as I say?

Yes, I'll do whatever you ask me to.

I promise.

See, I'll even wear these earrings you've brought.

Don't I look pretty?

So? Will you take me?

-You're looking so pretty… -Uncle?

You'll take me, won't you?

Tell me.

What else are you willing to do?

What else are you willing to do to be an actor?

-Uncle… -Tell me.

-Uncle, what's wrong with you? -Will you do as I say?

-Uncle… I'm getting hurt. -Tell me.

What are you doing?

Uncle.

Want to be an actor?

Want to be an actor?! Huh?

After all, you're just like your mother.

She was a wild one back in the day.

Want to wear the earrings!

-Uncle, I'm getting hurt. -Want to wear earrings?

Have you seen your face in the mirror?

You won't even get a maid's job in Bombay!

Bloody sex worker.

Get lost!

SI Jayprakash!

SI Jayprakash!

SI Jayprakash. Over.

Rajjo's moped was found near the Raajkunwar food stall

on the Delhi highway.

I'm on my way there. You should come too. Over.

We're on our way, Ahlawat. Over.

Stop, stop…

Sir, that's Rajjo's moped.

Go in. Go in.

-What are you waiting for? Hurry up. -He shouldn't escape!

Stay here.

Have you seen this man?

Search over there.

He isn't here, sir.

I'm sorry, JP sir.

Catching the killer would've made us very happy, but…

You've been of great help, Ahlawat.

Thank you.

Don't embarrass me, sir.

No one in Sonipat is like that, sir.

People here are simple folk.

But there's always going to be one rotten apple.

I'll take your leave…

Okay, sir.

Drive carefully.

Doomsday is upon us, Mr. Hajra.

The people are furious.

We're also under pressure from the Prime Minister's office.

-Do something about it. -I'm trying my best, sir.

All the teams are on it, 24 hours a day.

And I'm supervising the entire investigation myself.

I'm being patient only because you're handling it yourself.

I've heard you've put a cook's son in charge of the case.

It's not like that. He's a capable officer, sir.

Very hard working.

He has made good headway in the case--

Look, Mr. Hajra…

An ironsmith's expertise lies in working with iron.

And a cook's expertise lies in cooking.

Even the best pair of shoes

looks foolish when worn on your head!

Sir, a few more days--

Appoint a capable and experienced officer to this case.

And solve it as soon as possible.

Yes, sir.

Namaste, Mr. Arora.

I'm here to deliver this box.

It contains the children's belongings.

Now that they've been thoroughly examined…

Please take a look.

There's a list of all the items inside.

You…

If you need any help…

I'll take your leave. Namaste.

Your trunk call to Bombay is connected. You can speak now.

Hello, Nisar?

Hello. Yes, Manisha.

Have you found out anything?

Write down the number of my local contact.

-6394-- -One minute.

-Yes. -639458.

She has some information on Rajjo and Babu.

Are you sure?

Wait, sir…

SI Jayprakash. I need to meet SP sir urgently.

He's in a meeting right now.

Please have a seat.

Inspector Chauhan.

SP sir has asked me to meet him.

Chauhan sir? Please wait a minute.

Chauhan sir…

SI Jayprakash.

Oh,

looks like you're having an interesting day.

Something like that.

Mr. Hajra had told me about you.

Everyone knows who you are, sir.

I've looked at the case files.

You've done a good job till now.

I've already told him that I will investigate this case,

but you must assist me.

But I have a small request.

Yes, sir?

I want to taste the mutton curry that your father is famous for.

Can I give you some advice?

High-profile cases like these often need more work on diplomacy

than on investigation.

Experience teaches us.

It'll be fine.

Sir…

I'll understand it eventually.

So I'll see you at work tomorrow morning, SI Jayprakash?

Yes, sir. Of course.

-Jai Hind. -Jai Hind.

-Yes? -Jayprakash?

I'm Nisar… his friend.

I'm here to give him a file.

And this is for you… a chicken dish I've prepared.

For me?

Thank you so much.

You've come at the right time.

I'm fed up with eating all that bland food.

Please come in.

Are you feeling better now? JP had mentioned…

I'm absolutely fine now, madam. It was nothing major.

Jayprakash will be home soon.

I should leave now.

Please give this to him. It's regarding his work.

What do you do?

I'm a reporter… Dilli Nama.

I see.

Actually, if JP sees me here…

I understand.

Policemen and reporters have always had a rough relationship.

Honestly, the pressure of the case

has made my son a bit unhinged.

This smells delicious.

But…

to do anything good, one has to struggle.

Now this is the kind of struggle I like!

Please have a seat.

Come.

Hi.

I'd brought some chicken curry for Uncle.

You're not supposed to eat spicy food.

This is just a doctor's advice, not Mountbatten's order!

Please sit.

Are you okay?

Don't you see it on my face?

I'm thrilled to bits.

I'm not here to fight with you.

I know.

You're here to get a scoop for your newspaper.

You probably didn't get an update at the police station,

that's why you've come here.

Water?

You?

Nisar, I don't have any sensational update for you.

Inspector Chauhan is heading this case now,

so you should go to his office instead.

Why are you taking out your anger on me?

And since you're such a hotshot,

can't you separate your personal life from your professional life?

I can't. I learned it from you.

Don't blame me for your mistakes.

I'm also under pressure.

Today, I'm not here as a journalist, but as your--

Today, after I saw Rajjo and Babu's sketches,

I was feeling upset all day.

I wanted to talk to you…

I wanted to check if you are okay or not.

And here you are…

Yes.

Here I am.

I'd come to give this to you.

Bombay. Another child was murdered.

And the same two names…

Rajjo and Babu.

I was on my way to show this to my editor.

Thought I'd show it to you first.

In case it helps you find them.

And if you manage to calm down,

try to remember that we have worked together before.

Do you want me to have a word with SP sir?

You could.

Let's send some mutton curry for SP sir.

If not by competence,

the mutton curry might help me get the case back.

Lower the flame.

Jayprakash, where I grew up,

serving someone food we cooked ourselves was a big battle.

Now, people crave this very taste,

and that in its own way is a victory.

And what change did this victory bring?

Not everyone is born with a sword in their hand, son.

I got a ladle…

and I turned that into my strength.

What your weapon is…

is something you must discover on your own.

One second. I'll see.

Sir.

Hello, Javed. Please come in.

SI Gupte from Bombay had called.

He has already called twice.

He has news of Rajjo and Babu.

Six days ago, a child was--

Murdered by them, and then they fled. I know.

Sir, Gupte sir will call any minute now.

He says he has some big news and that he'll only speak with you.

Let's quickly go, sir.

Gupte sir is on the line.

SI Jayprakash speaking, Gupte sir.

SI Gajanan Gupte, sir.

Sir, last night, a man and his wife

-were attacked here in Bombay. -And?

When I showed the couple the sketches you sent, they recognized the man.

Recognized whom?

Babu.

He's back in Bombay, sir.

Are you sure?

100%, sir.

We've already issued an alert in the city.

You should come to Bombay right away.

Thank you.

Thank you, Gupte sir.

Babu was spotted in Bombay yesterday.

If Babu is in Bombay,

Rajjo will also be somewhere close by, sir.

Chauhan sir is in charge of the case now.

And in order for me to go to Bombay, I'll have to file a request with SP sir

and get his approval first.

If SP sir has already made up his mind,

there's no point in all this, sir.

We'll have to find our own weapons.

When is the next train to Bombay?

Mishra ji?

Today is Wednesday.

At 9:45 p.m., sir.

-We can make it. -Get the car quickly, Javed.

You go buy the tickets.

I'll get your luggage and meet you at the station platform.

By the time Chauhan sir understands the case,

you'll already be back.

Mona.

Mona, please…

Mona!
