Original subtitles

Sat Sri Akaal, sir.

Sure, sir. I'm on my way.

Paaji, I think I've seen her somewhere.

Give it a rest, Aujla!

It's your first murder case.

Every corpse looks familiar.

Come on, Paaji.

I swear I've seen her somewhere.

-Sat Sri Akaal, ma'am. -Sat Sri Akaal, ma'am.

What do we know about the victim?

Her name is Preet Bajwa.

She's the daughter of the house.

Visiting here from America.

When do the forensics arrive?

They said 20 minutes about half an hour back.

Do I call again?

Did I not ask you to secure the crime scene?

Ma'am, we cordoned off the entire area as soon as we reached.

Ma'am is here.

Ma'am, forensics team will be here in ten minutes.

Tell them there's no hurry.

There's not much left of the crime scene anyway.

Get the buffalo out of here.

What about the calf?

That too!

Any neighbours?

-Ma'am-- -Anyone saw or heard anything?

The house next door is locked.

NRIs it seems. The family lives in Italy.

What about others?

They were asleep or at the morning procession.

Who found the body?

Preet's mother.

Has she given a statement?

She is a frail old woman, ma'am.

She's in a state of shock.

Hey, where're you going?

You are?

Baljinder.

This is my house.

Preet's my sister.

Where were you?

We were at my father's place, in Phagwara.

I'll go check on Mummy ji…

Who else lives in the house?

There's a caretaker, Kanni.

Been with us for eight years.

Where is he now?

He went on leave just yesterday. It's his niece's wedding.

Ask him to come back.

Ma'am!

Bloody footsteps leading in. None going out.

There's a photo in the room of Preet with two kids.

The kids live in America.

With their father.

Sam… I mean, Tarsem Paaji.

Was Preet in India for some work?

She was living here for the last seven months.

By herself?

-Baljinder is here. Tell him. -I'll deal with him.

-Just two minutes. -What nonsense.

Bro, where's the money?

I know I told you I'll pay you today.

So, was Preet living here all by herself?

Preet and Sam were having some problems.

So has Sam been informed?

I did tell my husband, but it might

be better if the police informed him.

Please go. I'll call you later.

I beg of you, go.

Someone jumped in from the back and injured their foot on broken glass.

Then he went up to her room.

Found the room empty so he came back down.

There are strangulation marks on her neck.

It means there was a scuffle.

I don't understand what was Preet doing in the barn so late at night?

Sorry, ma'am.

It's, er, part of the investigation.

Paaji, now I remember where I saw her.

I have seen her dance reels.

There are strangulation marks on the victim's neck.

Now whether the cause of death was strangulation or the iron scythe

can only be confirmed by the post-mortem and forensic reports.

All good, sir.

There's a reporter waiting outside for a sound byte.

If you could please ask SI Gill to do the needful.

You're leading the case, Dhanwant ji.

So you should give the byte.

Are you sure, sir?

Human errors are a part of the job.

The department has forgotten about your mistake,

I suggest you should too.

I'm putting ASI Garundi on the case with you.

Sir?

Look Dhanwant ji,

the department is not doubting your abilities.

But this is a border area.

And Garundi has experience in handling murder cases.

I doubt that, sir.

He couldn't even secure the crime scene.

Human errors are a part of the job.

The way we let go of your mistake,

you should let go of Garundi's.

All good with your personal life?

Yes, sir.

Take a break, Jazzy B. Enough with the dancing.

Any problem, sir? We were only making a reel.

That long?

Well, it's our fundamental right.

You know Johnny Malang?

He's my guru, sir.

Oh, is it?

Where do I find your guru?

Call him, sir. I'll give his number. Just a sec.

His phone's shut, just like his studio.

Why don't you try again tomorrow, sir?

It took me a while too to secure admission. Sir, please!

Tell me where he is!

Yes?

Is Charu Katyal home?

What is this regarding?

Are you Charu?

I wanted to ask you about Preet.

You were best friends, right?

All that's in the past.

They were in the same college.

Then Preet got married and moved to the US.

They were hardly in touch after that.

But you guys must have met since she moved back to India?

Preet's family happened to mention it.

That's what she would tell her family.

She used to meet some guy, using my wife as cover.

Could have been multiple guys, for all you know.

Mom, granny says it's time for her lunch.

Get going.

Ma'am.

Why are you making me slander the dead?

Preet got what was in her destiny.

She must have visited my wife twice.

So please, leave us out of this.

The stench of rum sneaked up long before you did.

Oh, no! But I popped two mints today.

Mints don't work. Switch to vodka.

Doesn't smell at all.

I swear I tried vodka.

Makes me gassy.

Now you decide which smell you prefer, rum or the…

Yuck!

Which color do you think would look best on Rajji parjhai?

All colors look good.

Come on now, choose one.

It's her baby shower gift.

Pastel colors are trending now.

But I think bright colors would look better on her.

Yes, the red one.

Red? This is ruby color.

That too made of pure silk.

You, my love, are the purest silk.

Oh, is it?

And which color looks best on me?

All colors except for one.

Which one?

Should I?

The one you're wearing.

Take it off right away.

Haw! Have some shame.

What's the hurry?

Let go.

I've chores to do.

What's more important than this?

I've lots to do.

Come on, spend some time with me.

The number you've dialed is switched off.

Two plates dal makhani for table number four.

Yes, take it to them.

Careful.

Sit.

Easy, easy.

-Hello, Charu. -Hello.

We didn't get a chance to talk the other day.

You two were friends since college, right?

We were friends since school.

I was the dance team captain and she was the vice-captain.

Such an old friendship! She ought to have mentioned

why she was here without her family.

Her husband was having an affair.

But abandoning her own kids?

She had a temper.

She couldn't see right from wrong when angry.

She had filed for divorce to get the custody of her kids.

She was obviously very depressed without them here.

That's why I told her to start dancing again.

If you see her dance reels, you'll never guess

the shit she was going through.

She took dance lessons from some Johnny Malang, right?

She was in love with Johnny.

I warned her. The guy seemed dubious.

Later she found out about his girlfriend.

What was her name?

I think it was Bunny Gulati.

A model type, works in music videos.

What about Preet's husband, Sam?

He used to call Preet and threaten her.

What kind of threats?

About the divorce and stuff.

We were barely in touch of late.

My husband didn't approve of it.

Now I wish I had stayed in touch, maybe I could've helped her.

Call me if you remember anything else.

Wipe your nose first. It's so dirty. Give me your bag.

Very good.

The question is…

Can you see it?

Yes!

-Can you truly see the Lord's miracle? -Hell yeah!

Then here you go.

Here.

Where's Peter Malang?

Johnny's room?

It's that one.

Aujla, you do the honors.

He is hardly ever here. Mostly stays at his studio.

-Those are Johnny's… -Paaji.

Not mine.

House is yours. How do you survive here?

When did you last see him?

He had come to pick up his clothes four days ago.

Any call or message since then?

None.

Where were you the last two days?

I was at Prophet Harpal's congregation.

Came back, hit the bed. Then went back again this morning.

I'm a man of God, you see!

This "man of God" went nowhere else?

No, sir.

Then was it the devil who went to the ATM in the morning, bastard?

Speak up!

He showed up early in the morning, said he urgently needed some money.

You just gave without asking?

Johnny's a good boy, sir. He doesn't even do drugs like the other boys.

May Lord bless this land!

Father's happy that son is not a junkie.

So I went with him to the ATM and I gave him the money.

That's all I know.

And you asked nothing? Are you sure you are the father?

I think so!

And I did ask him where he was going.

He said he'd go where life takes him.

Good Lord, give me strength.

How long have you been working there?

It's been about eight years.

And you go missing the night of the murder?

It was my niece's wedding in Yamunanagar, ma'am.

I had informed Twinkle pehnji well in advance.

I had invited them all too.

You can check with them.

They consider me family.

When was the last time you saw Preet that night?

My train was at 11:30 p.m.

So I saw her before that.

Maybe between 10:30 and 11:00 pm.

Was Preet alone?

No, she wasn't.

Someone had come to meet her.

Was it him?

Yes, ma'am. That's him.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Preet pehnji looked rather angry.

So I followed her.

Please calm down. What are you doing?

-Let's talk at the studio. -To hell with your studio!

-Get lost, bitch! -Preet pehnji!

Now, watch what I do to you.

Yeah, fine. Get lost. I know all about you.

Oye! Stop right there.

Let it be.

And not a word about this to anyone. Got it?

How could I have known

that the bastard

would come back and kill Preet pehnji?

Sat Sri Akaal.

What is this stench?

Evidence for forensics, ma'am.

Match with the crime scene footprint

and see where all Johnny Walker has walked.

-Take it to the evidence room. -That's right. Aujla. Get going.

Johnny's disappeared.

He took 30,000 from his father

on the morning of the murder and vanished.

-Where to? -Hell knows.

-His phone? -Switched off since 4:30 a.m.

Gurkirat, what's up with the rooster?

Paaji, it is evidence from the illegal cock fighting case in Madhopur.

Maybe the smelly shoes are bothering the poor thing.

Then put him somewhere else till the Magistrate's hearing.

Yes, ma'am.

Avoid the canteen, I'd say.

-The cyber-cell had called. -Okay.

They'll send Preet's call records by tomorrow morning.

Study them as soon as they arrive. We might find a clue.

Ma'am, I have a family function tomorrow.

The SHO has approved my half day's leave.

I'll review the call records after noon.

Mummy ji!

Mummy ji, are you listening?

I turned on the heater in your room, and you're out here in the cold?

Come, let's go.

You are late!

I hope you got the gift.

Hold this and follow me.

This is for you.

Sat Sri Akaal.

What was the need for this?

You've already done so much.

I haven't really done much.

If you like the gift, it's my choice. If not, blame him.

Your choice is lovely.

And so is Amarpal's.

Give it to me.

I'll go meet Jung paaji.

Hello!

Paaji!

Come, let's drink.

No, I'm good.

Have one, it's a celebration after all.

No.

If you don't want beer, I can get rum.

I'm going to Hazur Sahib tomorrow.

With village pilgrims.

With parjhai in this condition?

You must be going for the baby. That's great.

But you leave tomorrow. You can have a drink today.

I'm staying at the village Gurudwara tonight.

Will leave from there tomorrow morning.

But you enjoy your drink.

It's okay.

-Hey, bro, what's up? -All well.

How's the transfer to Dalerpura going?

How do you think? I've got one lady boss

at the police station and another at home.

Anything urgent?

Ma'am, Billu had called. Our informer at the bus stand.

Ma'am!

We're ready for you.

Johnny Malang was seen at the bus stand, the morning after the murder.

And ma'am, one more thing. Preet Bajwa's call records are here.

I've shared them with you.

I'll take a look.

Be careful, Mummy ji.

-Sat Sri Akaal, Dad. -Sat Sri Akaal, my child.

What is she doing here?

She better leave right away,

or I'm leaving.

Paaji!

Karamjot paaji!

Not today.

Not today.

May the spiritual ceremony begin.

Through Nank's name comes eternal optimism.

In your will, may all be blessed.

The Khalsa belongs to God, the victory belongs to God.

Whoever utters these words shall be blessed. True is the Eternal Lord!

The Khalsa belongs to God, the victory belongs to God.

Why are you here?

I'm here to cremate my wife.

Why did you not think of her

when she was here all alone, without her children?

My daughter's last rites shall be performed

as per the customs.

Tarsem is her husband.

It's his right to cremate her.

Calm down.

What's bothering you?

Are you okay?

No one showed up from my family.

My sister-in-law didn't even let my brother be here.

Don't say that. Aren't we your family?

Come, let's go in. Get some rest.

I'll ask Baljit to get you some food.

Come now.

Hurry! Parjhai fell down.

Fell down?

-Get Jung paaji. -Okay.

Ma'am, almost everything is done.

You'll experience nausea and fatigue for the next three weeks.

That's already happening, doctor.

It's normal in IVF.

The front desk informed me they still haven't received the sperm sample.

We're already past the due date.

I'll speak with my husband.

Okay.

Garundi!

Our informant Billu spotted Johnny Malang

at the bus stand, the morning after the murder.

Get there right away and get all the details.

Okay, ma'am, I'll speak to Aujla. The job will be done.

I too have Aujla's number.

I called you for a reason.

I'm stuck here, or I'd have gone myself.

Ma'am, I too am stuck here.

Your leave was for half day, right?

It's already 2:00 p.m.

Ma'am, there was an emergency or--

My sister is being cremated right now.

Can you spare me at least today, Raju?

Shame on you! It's been four months already.

Now you listen to me.

If you don't pay up,

there'll be consequences.

Hello?

Hello?

Must have been around 6:30 in the morning.

He had two cups of tea and bought a packet of cigarettes.

He paid through the QR code?

No, he paid cash.

Which bus did he take?

It was early morning and the fog was heavy.

I've no idea which bus he took.

No need, ma'am.

Have you seen this man around?

No.

This guy, right here.

I told you, I haven't seen him.

How many CCTVs are there?

Four.

Preet's call records are here.

There are a couple of important voice notes.

Sat Sri Akaal.

You fucked with the wrong girl, you bastard.

You think you'll make a fool out of me and I'll let you?

I trusted you for I was in love.

I did everything you asked.

But not anymore.

I'll go to the cops tomorrow.

Now you'll be doing your bhangra behind the bars.

Show the one with the bike.

Wait, who is that? Zoom in on him.

Motherfucker!

Hey, Jazzy B!

Come, let's make a reel.

Aujla, get the car.

Get the car!

Mummy!

Come on, gun it.

I'm not going anywhere, it's my birthday.

Take this 500 rupee note. Now, move!

Stop, you fucker!

Hey, Rickshaw! Listen, you fucker!

I'll throw you a grand birthday party.

Come fast!

You guys drive like maniacs, but when needed--

It can't go any faster!

I'm pulling over. Told you, it's my birthday.

Motherfucker! Come on, step on it.

There he is.

Put the car in reverse.

Press the gas. Hurry!

Speed up if you don't want to receive your birthday bumps.

What the fuck have you got me into?

I should've never let a fuckface get into my vehicle.

Bro, speed up. Will talk later.

Hey, fucker!

Hello, ma'am, this is Preet's friend.

Yes, Charu, tell me.

Ma'am, I was going through Preet's old messages.

Found an old voice note from her husband that she had once shared with me.

I've sent it to you.

Great.

Ma'am?

If he had anything to do with Preet's death,

make sure he pays for it.

Okay, thank you.

You bitch!

You think I don't know what you're up to with that dancer of yours?

Now listen carefully.

I want my money back.

Otherwise you don't know what's coming for you.

I want my money back.

Yes, Garundi?

-It was Himachal, ma'am. -Huh?

Johnny took a bus to Himachal the morning after the murder.

Don't you dare!

Got it.
