Original subtitles

'No, I am not dead.'

'Not yet.'

'I think my job here is almost done.'

'But there is a story that is still left to be told.'

'You would be right to assume this is the final act of that story.'

'But some stories..'

'Stories like this one..'

'They end at a beginning.'

'The beginning of this story..'

"Take up the weapon!"

"Take up the weapon!"

Breach on the north terminal. Alert everyone.

Close the gate.

Close the gate.

All units, we are approaching eighth!

Converge on eighth!

Darn it, he's picking up speed.

Keep on him. We are going to lose him in the city.

We lost him.

'Ranam.'

I got a little worried as you were late.

This isn't the first time.

Yes, but it is the last one, right?

Is it, Mr. Bhaskar?

'There's an age old story about the Nair families of North Kerala.'

'It spoke of decades of wealth and grandeur.'

'Ancestors who squandered their wealth with decadence.'

'They were so vain that they would pledge their house or take a loan'

'before they would admit to anyone that they were bankrupt.'

'Their downfall saw the end of an era'

'and took them to a point of no return.'

'The story of this city is also very similar to this one.'

'Welcome to Detroit.'

'America's most dangerous city.'

'One of the greatest cities, which was once lauded'

'as the city which produced most job opportunities

'not just in America, but in the world.'

'It was the automobile capital of the world with the biggest'

'and largest number of factories and manufacturing plants.'

'Detroit had a huge role to play in making America'

'the number one country in the world.'

'It all seemed too good to last.'

'And it was.'

'The black revolution of '67 was the start of its downfall.'

'The rage of the oppressed African Americans'

'was not just against the rulers and authoritarians.'

'It was also against the opulence that surrounded their poverty.'

'Detroit burned as the world watched.'

'Michigan's prominence in automobile manufacturing'

'gradually slipped into the hands of Germany, Japan and South Korea.'

'Slowly, the world looked away.'

'Companies shut down as they didn't see a future in Detroit anymore.'

'Thus, this land became a desert of broken dreams.'

'This barren land held its promise for one thing alone.'

'Crime.'

'And that flourished.'

'This city, to which the judiciary turned a blind eye'

'became a hotbed of gang wars and drug trafficking.'

'Detroit, which was in close proximity with Canada'

'became a gateway to illegal immigrants entering America.'

'In that flurry of illegal immigrants'

'there were a group of Keralites and Tamils.'

'This is their story.'

'Our story.'

'But any similarity between the people of Northern Kerala'

'and us ends here.'

'They gave up.'

'Detroit and us, did not.'

Damodar, can't we think this over?

Teacher..

M.G.R.

He came from nothing, became a great man

and dedicated his life to his people.

I am a little bit like him.

I came with nothing to Detroit.

For my people, I..

I couldn't do anything, you know why?

People like him..

They stepping over us, making it impossible for us to get by.

Hey, the Sambar is hot, pour me some more.

I don't know what the heck you guys are saying at all.

We had a plan, Boris.

Redex is mine.

Only mine!

And you knew it.

But Anthony said..

Darn!

From now on, every time you look in the mirror you should remember me.

Do tell Anthony.

Chandran..

The Sambar was really good.

'Damodar.'

'Damodar Ratnam.'

'One among the millions who had to flee from a country'

'ravaged by a 24 year long civil war.'

'When everything around him went up in flames'

'all he had left was his little brother.'

'They risked their lives to traverse the seas and rough winds'

'like other Sri Lankan Tamils escaping persecution.'

'Toronto.'

'The 19 year old who had no fear of death'

'found a place for himself in that city.'

'But like every system that functions'

'it too had to cleanse itself.'

'So, for the second time in life, Damodar was cast out'

'to the other side of Ambassador bridge, which was Detroit.'

'He found his trump card in a city that desperately wanted'

'to retain its former glory days through drug trafficking.'

'Redex, Detroit's latest party drug.'

'Since then, Damodar has been writing his own fate.'

'And I had a role to play in it.'

Keep it.

No.

But the debt between us is settled.

Aadhi..

You speak without thinking.

Forget what happened.

Think about what we could achieve if we stand together.

I have big plans for you, pal.

I need you by my side.

A deal is a deal.

You promised me that this is the last time

and all our debts would be settled.

And now leave us alone. - Hey!

How dare you talk to brother like that..

Hey, what he meant was, however you look at it

we have more than repaid our debts..

You better shut up, mister.

Do I need to jog your memory about what happened last time

when we had a similar conversation?

Selvan.

What Aadhi said is right.

A deal is a deal.

You can go.

I won't come after you.

But one thing..

Even if you're with me or not, on the streets of Detroit

you still work for me.

I don't know why I felt a sense of foreboding that day.

But as I walked away, I was afraid.

Even after knowing about us..

Why did you just let them go?

If they have made up their mind to leave

then you should not force them to stay, Selvan.

It's okay.

We need to help them realise it's in their best interest

to come back to us.

How?

Everyone has something to lose.

Find what's his.

Kathak makes you more self-aware and gives you confidence.

That's what these women also need.

We provide an opportunity for victims of domestic abuse

and young girls who get pregnant to get their lives back on track.

This is what our foundation, 'Raksha', is involved in.

What you have done for the community is really great.

What is the story behind 'Raksha'?

Any personal tragedies or experiences?

Sorry.

D-Deepika..

Look at you.

Where are you going like that?

It's none of your business, Mom.

Listen, Deepika..

Hey, she's coming.

Let's go, man.

Hi, Deepika.

Hi, Aju.

'Detective Ahmed Siddique.'

'He's the chief of the new anti-narcotics cell of Michigan'

'formed to bring down the drug rackets operating here.'

'There was another reason why he was appointed for this job.'

'The South Indian presence in the Detroit underworld.'

'Born to a Sri Lankan Tamil father and a Malayali mother.'

'Ahmed is fluent in both languages.'

Hold on, camera 3.

Can you enlarge it?

Full screen, hold it.

Take a print out of that. - Yes, sir.

You know what, Nathan, I may have to reach out to my old contacts

in the Toronto Tamil Task force.

Do you think it might be a repeat of Toronto?

Let's hope it's not.

Dig up the files on all the local Tamils.

Criminals, refugees.. Everything.

People who moved here in the last 5 years

and those who are under review as well.

All right.

What is this? - Redex.

Detroit's newest party pill.

Help me sell this.

If I can't sell all of it..

Next time, Selvan will reduce my commission.

No, thanks. I have a job at the moment.

Yeah, right!

Are you guys still standing here? Come, let's dance.

Come, let's dance.

I am already late. My mom will kill me.

'Mom will kill me!' You're such a baby!

If you don't listen to her for a day, nothing is going to happen.

She's right.

'Thank you for calling..'

'The memories you try to forget'

'are the ones that are clearly seen in the dark.'

'Even though you teach yourself not to look back'

'you know these nightmares are lurking behind you.'

Have your coffee.

Aren't you tired of it all, Bhaskar?

This place and this life here.

You have no idea.

Why don't we leave then?

Anywhere, but here.

I don't think there is a going back for either of us.

I just want to settle my debts here

open a fixed deposit for my kids and ship them off to India.

Do I have to send a special invite!

Come and have food.

Let's eat.

Do you even care about him?

At times, you behave as if he is not your son.

Hey, where have you been till dawn?

I was just hanging out with my friends.

With Shaun and that crackpot girl?

I hate them.

Do you know how much we pay towards your school fee?

Don't you have anything other than lentil?

How about some fried mutton! I will serve it in a while.

You come home drunk in such a pathetic state.

How can you expect your son to behave then?

The lentil should be fine.

None of you are responsible.

It drives me mad when I think about it.

Only if we could get out of this godforsaken country.

Dad, shall I come to the garage? - Well, what a perfect idea!

Let him come, Rani.

What's wrong in learning a new skill?

When asked to fix something in the house

you and your son will just find some excuse.

What's wrong here?

It has been a week since the sink started clogging.

Do you even know that? - Is that it?

Aadhi will fix it. Won't you?

Oh! You're asking him to do it now.

Thank you..

'Rajan Kuriakose.' - I'm so happy.

'One of the very few success stories of modern Detroit.'

'Rajan got started with student housing brokerage'

'after coming to US to do his masters..' - 25th.

'...at the University of Orlando.'

'He saw an opportunity in Michigan ruins'

'and he invested there.' - It's just the beginning.

'Today, he is the sole owner of R.K Agencies'

'one of the biggest real estate firms in Northern Detroit.'

Hey, Seema. Am I late?

No, it just got over.

Does Rajan know that you invited me?

Rajan invited his friends and I invited mine.

Well, is it going to bother your relationship?

Okay. - Excuse us.

Come, Deepika. Let's grab you a drink. - Yes.

Who is that new secretary?

Who are you talking about?

You know who I am talking about.

How am I supposed to know who you're talking about?

You gave me the same answer when I asked you last time.

Here it goes. - What did you say?

I asked you the question. Why are you.. - What did you say?

Nothing. - Just answer my question.

Rajan! - I expected both of you

to spare me, at least for today.

Darn!

Ahmed, I can't continue this anymore.

What about my papers?

Let's hold it for a while.

What do you know about the incident at the port the other day?

The port? Which port are you talking about?

This isn't going well. - Ahmed, please try to understand.

I don't take part in such things anymore.

When you left Toronto empty-handed

I was the only one to help you.

Now, you find it difficult to answer my questions, right?

Chief was right about you. With your background

you will never get an asylum permit.

Okay, there are some new people in the business.

Last day, there was a meeting with those Poles.

'Chandran came to America seeking an asylum status.'

'He had a long-standing bond with the Polish and Sri Lankan gangs.'

But we know that there's no space for you here.

'At some point of time, without even being aware of it'

'Chandran became the middle man of Detroit

'and the foreign underworld.'

I have been kicked out of my house twice.

'When the Polish gang leader, Antony, asked him'

'that he wanted to meet Damodar Ratnam'

'Chandran assumed it to be a compromise settlement.'

'He was wrong.'

'One week. You have a week to get back to me.'

'Damodar, please. Please. Let's go.'

'Come, Brother. - I'm not doing the deal.'

'Come.. - We'll deal with him later, Brother.'

Both the parties won't give in.

And if they start a fight, it will affect us all.

Who is the new party?

Asoka Bar. I can't say another word.

Hello.

I am not at home. I am sorry.

I am out here to buy some gardening supplies.

If you're in a hurry, you can leave it with Nancy.

Is that all right? Thank you.

Okay, bye.

Are you okay..

Call 911.

There it is.

It is registered last year under..

R.K. Agencies?

The phone's buzzing.

Get me a copy, please.

Hey, Seema.

Where are you now?

Is there anything that you can tell us?

It happened in a jiffy.

Not even thirty seconds.

Nathan, give me two minutes with her, all right? - Okay.

Seema, are you okay?

Someone rushed to help me.

All thanks to him. Nothing happened to me.

Go ahead and sign it. Just a formality.

Hey, what happened to the gutsy you who I used to know?

You're a strong girl.

It's going to be all right. There's nothing to worry about.

Stay strong.

"Expressive were they, your silence and mine.."

"The sweetest of dreams and flowers.."

"Expressive as always.."

"Expressive were they, your silence and mine.."

"Take up the weapon!"

"Take up the weapon!"

Why the heck were you shooting at me?

Answer me.

It was Antony. He wanted to send Damodar a message.

You tell him that I do not work for Damodar anymore.

Okay?

"With the rhythm of the first song.."

Hey, Bhaskar, I need to tell Mike a date for his Cadillac, man.

He doesn't sound happy.

A day more, man.

Just tell him that we will give the car back tomorrow evening.

Okay? - Whatever, man.

What happened then?

Nothing. I just chased them immediately.

That's where I got to know.

I couldn't even ask her name.

Whose? - That girl's. She was a Keralite.

Oh! Why don't we check the match and proceed to marriage?

You're so fortunate to be alive.

And he is worried about some girl..

Actually, you should be the one to escape from here.

Damodar was right.

You're Damodar's man as long as you're here.

If it was about my safety alone, I could have escaped way too early.

I will just start with that Nigerian's car.

It bills for 2,000 dollars.

We need that money before this weekend.

'We are going near 25th. - We're at 28th..'

'When you're ready.. - Copy that.'

'On a truck, XR985..'

I swear, I have seen this guy somewhere.

Maybe, Toronto?

Maybe. I don't know.

Brother Aadhi..

T-There's a '92 Civic. 800 dollars.

If you work with me, we can build up a great car.

Get me that 12-14 spanner.

He needs a spanner when I talk to him seriously.

Oh! How much should I struggle to get a car for myself?

Deepika..

Why are you here? - This is my garage.

Really? On my way back after dropping Caroline

at her foster home, the car broke down.

And this is what it looks like, after I started it again.

But you don't have a license, right?

If I take it to a service centre, they will ask for my license

insurance records and every other detail.

That's why I brought it to this shabby place..

Wow! - What?

Take your time to fix that car. - What?

'78 Pontiac Firebird. - Wrong, '69 Pontiac Lemans.

Fuchs wheels, rolled down coil overs, drag radials.

Wow! Impressive!

Well, now it's a '69 Lemans.

But six years ago, we got it as a '78 Firebird from the junkyard.

Mr. Aadhi and I worked hard to revamp it.

And this is definitely not a stock engine, isn't it?

Yeah, the engine.. - No.

Swapped out the 350hp for a 450hp big block V8 fully built.

And with the BMW, the coolant leaked out

and the engine got overheated.

After changing the tank and pipeline

the ECU needs to be recalibrated as well.

It will take two days. - Oh, no! Two days?

This is a shabby place right. So, it will take time.

Or else, take it to a branded service centre

and ask your parents to deal with it.

I like him.

Okay, I will call a cab home.

Why? I will drop you.

But, you don't have a car.

Mr. Aadhi..

Thanks for the ride, guys.

Well, can I come to the garage tomorrow?

I don't have classes. So, I can just see how you work.

Why? - Why not? Anytime. I am free tomorrow.

Okay.

Oh, God! Let that car take ages to be fixed.

Well, if you stay in the garage, Mr. Bhaskar will go bankrupt.

This won't end well.

Who is she? Is that her sister?

She might appear like that, but she's her mom.

She's pretty hot, right?

"You made me feel, unclouded.."

"Before I hit the road."

"And you deserve, all the love.."

"Because you are my shelter.."

"In pain, I glow.."

"From the day we were born.."

"We were sworn to a legacy."

"Enemy in front of me.."

"Fighting for supremacy."

"Pedigree of bloodstains.."

"Filling up my memory."

"Every single footprint.."

"Fading out in jealousy."

"I narrate this story, of a path laid by my ancestors.."

"A path that relishes flesh and blood.."

"One that was treaded by legends.."

"Finding solace in one's pain.."

"And ego in the eyes of another.."

"Try to narrate the story of this land of warriors.."

"When wars become a necessity, weapons are the true Gods."

"Bliss of the trigger-fingered fizz.."

"Laying bullets in the mist.."

"Not a day to be missed.."

"Oh, time, when will I get this moment back?"

"The night seems to be eternal.."

"The light that showed us the way to this city"

"is leaving hints for an unexplained cause.."

"Are you the only one to swim across"

"this ocean of solitude?"

"Is this the city that had burnt itself"

"in its own fiery past?"

"You welcomed the youngest of waves"

"who longed to get embraced.."

"You disappeared like"

"the farthest star in the sky."

We have been run to ground in a barren city like Detroit.

But here, in Gwinn, the heart land of American decay

there's an opportunity in every nook and corner.

If we play our cards well, we can own this city.

Staying here, we will rule Detroit.

But, what am I supposed to do here?

We will pay you. You do what you're good at.

You just invest in Gwinn.

Buy the town for us.

But you know, money laundering is a big crime here.

If you know whom to bribe, that will no longer be a crime.

"The soul keeps craving"

"for wars.."

"And the war keeps craving"

"for blood.."

"Untouched by fear"

"but intimidated by the cold winds of death."

"Even though the days are hard here"

"this is still our paradise."

"There are no babies in the cradle.."

"They're just breathing bodies.."

"Welcome to Detroit, the land of goons.."

"With a street getting burnt down every day.."

"And countless dreams going down in the flames.."

"There are certain souls, emerging like a phoenix.."

"As a dream that brings a smile.."

"As eyes keep searching for a better path.."

"This is the city that we still hold close to our hearts.."

Garage, grease and old-school muscle.

It's so sexy, man.

And the way he looks at me! Oh, God! Aadhi!

Just get him under your spell.

If you succeed, we don't have to go elsewhere for our needs.

I didn't get you.

My dear, Sharon is throwing a basement party this weekend.

I can easily sell 3000 dollars worth of Redex.

But, how is Redex and Aadhi related?

You blockhead!

Aadhi is the biggest Redex dealer in Hamtramck.

We're just amateurs.

You can spend your life selling pizzas.

Let's go, man.

"The soul.. Welcome the youngest of waves.."

"who longed to get embraced.. - Craves for wars.."

"And the war.. - You disappeared like.."

"Craves for blood.. - The farthest star in the sky."

It's like a time ticking city.

I can only remember the filth around me.

You have never seen the reality of this city.

If you had, trust me

you wouldn't be complaining about your life.

You assume too easily, Aadhi.

For an outsider, I am well-provided.

I have a rich dad, pretty mom

big house and lots of money.

But, the closer you look..

At least, you have a family.

What's the use?

What's the point when you realise that the world you call your own

isn't really yours?

You know, the only world I feel like I belong in

is yours, Aadhi.

Hey, it's too late already.

If we get any late, mom will start scolding me.

Come.

Didn't I tell you, Brother?

Look at him. I knew that he was with the cops.

This is how Antony figures out all our plans.

If this goes on, we'll be in trouble.

Something must be done.

Hey. - Hey, what's up?

You're early today.

I got two tickets for the film, 'Spiderman - Homecoming'.

So, I was thinking, maybe we'll go for a movie

then have a dinner together.

Wait! Is it a date?

Yes. - With you?

You're so cute.

And that is my problem.

Okay.

This weekend, BHP is conducting a concert

at Grand Rapids.

Can we drive to that place?

Yes, we can do that.

But, to drive till there..

With Aadhi, in his car.

It will be awesome.

Yes, okay, whatever.

She is not your type, dude.

After ditching you, she will run into your arms, crying.

Then, they will be looking for the next stud.

I just really wanted her to like me, man.

I can't forget her.

Besides, she is interested in my brother.

Can you believe it?

I pity you, buddy.

But it sounds funny.

I want to be like my brother, Aadhi.

I want to be like you.

I want to be a part of your world. W-What am I supposed to do?

I will show you the gateway.

But once you are in, the doors will close right behind you.

And once it is closed, there's no going back.

I am aware of it. Just tell me where I should go.

Are you sure about it?

I don't have to think twice.

'The most sought after skill in Detroit's'

'drug trafficking industry is that of a transporter.'

'And I was the best.'

'To get me back in business'

'Aju was the best option available for Damodar.'

This is Redex. This is not child's play.

Can he do it?

Yes, he will do it.

Tonight, at 11 o'clock

catch a bus from Greyhound to Gwinn.

Deliver it and come back in the morning.

It will get over.

But if you mess it up..

He is just a kid..

Buddy, just explain it to him. - Yes.

Go.

That package shouldn't reach Gwinn.

'Consumption of alcohol is injurious to health.'

Isn't this the second peg? - No.

I still remember.

A pile of rust we towed in with our pickup truck.

Look at it.

What are you going to do with it? It has no records.

That's the reason why it is still here.

Or else, we would have sold it already.

I should somehow register and get it road-legal.

And when Aju graduates from his college, I will gift it to him.

Let him keep it.

Well, I just remembered.

He is not home yet.

Rani would have called me if he had arrived.

I am worried about his hangouts.

These days..

He is young, right?

He'll go out of control, if you restrict him too much.

Don't you be worried about Aju. He is a good kid.

We should be worried.

Isn't he growing up around us?

The world only knows about those Keralites

who stays in Los Angeles and New York

and travels in business class, twice a year.

The Keralites who struggle to meet the ends

stays only in the middle-east!

The great American dream! Such a joke!

Didn't you reach your daily limit? Okay, get up.

I will drop you. Don't wait for Aunt Rani's call.

Come..

Thank you.

Hey, hold up. Can I see some ID?

Ajith Bhaskaran.

Are you a Keralite? - Yes.

Where are you traveling to at this hour?

Gwinn. - Gwinn? That's really far from here, right?

You're going for a long trip. Don't you have any luggage?

Well, I will come back today itself.

Will you return tonight itself?

W-Well.. Do I owe an explanation to the cops?

It's a free country, right?

Check him up, please.

Put your arms up. Spread your legs.

He's clean.

Go.

Bad tip, I guess.

Maybe.

Come on. Let's go..

Aadhi, he just..

Rajan, aren't you coming?

No, I just changed my mind.

What is wrong with you?

I have another party to go to.

Didn't I ask the both of you before I got into it?

Go and get dressed. I am taking you with me.

Didn't I tell you that I am not coming?

It's going to be so boring.

Boring? Really?

You need such things to find a party to be interesting, right?

What authority do you have to check my room?

What is it, Deepika?

What are you into?

Is this how I brought you up?

Who taught you all this?

Don't brag about your parenting.

If I had followed your path, I might have had a child.

I didn't go that far yet.

I hate you.

Deepika..

Well done.

After witnessing everything

didn't you have a word to tell your daughter?

Why should I intervene in your problem?

Rajan, she is not even sixteen.

She comes home everyday in a state of intoxication.

If you don't look into her life with your responsibilities

as her father, we are going to lose her forever.

I asked you to go for an abortion.

You didn't listen to me back then.

When you gave birth to her, opposing everyone

it was not just your life that you ruined.

You ruined my life too, by giving me the responsibilities

of a husband and father at the age of 22.

Come on, Seema. She was your decision.

Rajan, let go of me..

Go and do whatever you want.

Why are you here at this hour?

Where are you going?

You should go, Deepika.

I am also coming with you. Take me too.

No, you're not coming along.

Never again, shall you come to meet Aju again.

He won't be here anymore. - Are you trying to get rid of me?

Why does everyone want to get rid of me?

You should ask that to yourself.

Aadhi, please. Don't make me leave.

I like you so much.

Aadhi, please..

Go home.

What if I am here as your client?

Can I come here as your client? Just to see you.

What did you say?

Do you think no one knows about you?

We all know what you do, Aadhi.

You can take him anywhere.

But you know very well

that he must be saved from your grasp.

So, why don't you just do what you do best?

And give me what I want.

Redex.

And if I don't?

I know the nearest police station.

I don't need anyone's help to get there.

To arrest the dealer of the most popular party drug

in the high schools of Hamtramck, I think the testimony

of a juvenile addict is more than enough.

Don't ever come back.

Well, Aadhi, keep the change.

Get in the car!

'The night I realised that we have a role to play'

'in some unheard stories, I felt'

'I was responsible for everything happening around me.'

'But in a parallel world, the lives of many got changed'

'because of me.'

'This night. This is the beginning of the end.'

Brother, she is innocent.

Just because you're angry with me, you shouldn't avoid her.

Despite having a family, she lives the life of an orphan.

Text me as soon as you reach Cleveland.

Mark, you're good to go, man. - All right, man.

'I wish life had signboards.'

'Symbols that accurately directs us where to go.'

'But it doesn't have any.'

'It doesn't.'

Deepika, get up..

Deepika.

Hello.

We got a 16 year old female.. But after 45 minutes..

Let's go. Come on. - I think, we lost her.

I assume we lost her.

'Fear. Now I knew why.'

'The fear when I realise that I have a lot to lose.'

'And I was afraid.'

Aju called me. He reached.

He checked in at the lodge.

I didn't tell him about it.

Aadhi, it was her fate.

It's the only catharsis that we've got.

If you keep thinking that you're responsible..

Am I not responsible for it, Uncle Bhaskar?

We're responsible for it.

How long can we just lie to ourselves?

What are we supposed to do then?

Aju, he just..

I thought our troubles were coming to an end.

You have nothing to do now. It's all upon me.

It's just me.

Brother, he is here.

'There's this sudden rush of blood when you realise'

'that you are all alone on the path.'

'When you realise that you have no expectations from life'

'the last bit of fear will vanish from your mind.'

'The solace I find when I realise that I got punished'

'for my mistakes alone..'

'But, I was wrong.'

Leave him alone.

What am I supposed to do?

Ever since he was a child

he couldn't stay hungry for too long.

It was to feed him that I started to work for the first time.

That's what a brother's love is like.

Damodar, why are you here?

For your brother, you should work for me

as long as I ask you to.

Shoot him.

No, I can't do it.

I know.

You always have to pick a side, Chandran.

There's a war coming, Aadhi.

You like it or not, you're on my side.

'Over 1,600 teenagers had died.. - To the upper class of Detroit'

'Deepika's death arrived as a late realisation.'

'...in the last six months.'

'In the drug trade's casualty list of Detroit'

'a 16 year old from Rosedale Park!'

'That was big news.'

'But, I had no clue how significant'

'Deepika's role was in this story.'

You don't have to talk to them for a while.

They will leave after a day or two.

Seema, I know that you're not ready for this.

But..

Deepika's death wasn't natural.

It was a drug overdose, and you know that.

We really have to investigate what befell her.

Of course. You must investigate.

But this is not the right place.

You should do that in her school and among her friends.

Please leave us alone. Don't trouble us.

If you are planning to frequent this place for this matter

then nip it in the bud.

Okay. Thanks for your time.

If we get any lead, we will inform you.

Seema, you should rest.

Ahmed.

This shouldn't happen to another kid.

I'm ready to do anything for that.

Is Aju aware of Deepika's death?

He will know it sooner or later.

It's all over the news.

We came here unnecessarily.

We should have lived in peace

in our own land in Thiruvalla.

That's never going to happen again.

We will have to stay here until our death.

"The paths.."

"Long and unwinding.."

"Unknowingly.."

"These sorrows.."

"Oh, night, from now on.."

"Put an end to this search.."

"Your eyes.."

"Longing for moonlight.."

"These lines scored by my fingers.."

"Some tales writhe in pain.."

"To a distant place where night has fallen.."

"I rush.."

"Fading away.."

"Mournfully.."

"Oh, night, from now on.."

"Put an end to this search.."

"Your eyes.."

"Longing for moonlight.."

"Oh, time, as a silent rhythm"

"aren't you falling on the body.."

"Oh, summer, sharing the same agony"

"aren't we looking for shade?"

"Memories fade away, incompletely.."

"Silence seeps in as it rains.."

"As shadows soothe my eyes"

"tears are shed.. "

"As the scorching earth"

"is held by the roots.."

Chandran..

'Chandran's death was a dead end for Ahmed.'

'There was no mediator between Damodar and the Polish gang.'

'And that's exactly what Damodar wanted.'

'Now, it's going to be head on.'

The more I think about it..

I can't afford war.

It's bad for business on all ends.

This is a good choice for you.

I need a month.

You owe me that much time.

Three weeks..

On the day of Marzaana.

You get the heck out.

'Damodar convinced Antony that he's quitting.'

'The Polish mafia gave him 3 weeks to leave Detroit'

'and hand over his Redex monopoly.'

'Three weeks!'

'Till the day of Marzaana.' - Don't push your luck!

'But Damodar had other plans.' - Stop selling Redex!

'On the 21st day'

'it was not just Marzaana that was going to burn to ashes.'

Are we done?

We're done. Get the heck out!

'Wrong direction, turn right.'

'Wrong direction, turn right.'

'Wrong direction, turn right.'

Seema, listen to me. It's not what you think.

l was trying to convince myself that you'd change one day.

Seema, please.

Just listen to me.

I can't lie to myself anymore. We're done!

You're simply assuming things.

You know well about my business.

Don't overreact.

Nothing as such happened here.

It's not even two weeks since our daughter died.

How do you expect me to react

when I learn that my husband is cheating on me?

When you don't get what you want at your home

this might happen.

What did you say?

See..

This is your problem.

Your impulsiveness is the biggest problem over here.

If you hadn't lashed out at Deepika

she'd have been here today!

Yes, I've fought with her.

But what about you?

She never had a father!

You were always with other women.

You could've spared a little time for her.

I hate you.

You're the biggest mistake of my life.

I'm the one who made the mistake.

I should have walked away when I got you pregnant.

But still I married you.

This luxurious lifestyle of yours is my alms to you!

So, stop making a scene.

Have your dinner and go to bed.

Yes, somewhere a little too much. - You know what I'm saying..

Leave my boy alone. - Hey, look..

What, man?

Hey, baby!

Looks like you could use some love.

We could show you a good time.

What do you say?

I see blood on you.

Are you the type?

who likes it rough.

She's got some bite.. - Leave her alone.

Who the heck are you?

That doesn't matter. Leave the lady alone.

Wow..

Turn around. Take a hike.

We can do this two ways, guys.

The nice way..

Or the hard way.

Wow!

I think we should choose the hard way.

Nice way?

Or the hard way?

Darn!

This is the house.

Can you give me your mobile phone?

This is my number.

Call me if you need anything.

Good night.

Seema?

'Seema.'

'lf l had a chance to choose the life that I had to live'

'I wouldn't have met her.'

'That day, I convinced myself that I shouldn't meet her again.'

'But I knew that she was my second chance.'

'But some second chances are too costly.'

What are we supposed to understand, Ahmed?

You ex-girlfriend shows up all of a sudden one night.

And starts living here.

And when I ask you how long she's going to be here

you start telling me that you have no idea.

Sanu, please be quiet.

If you want, I can stay at my mom's place with our son.

That will be more convenient for you, right?

Sanu, it's just for one day. Okay?

I've some urgent work at office.

So, at least let me get ready now.

I'll be back in the evening and figure something out.

But until then.. Just be nice to her.

Okay?

S-She's been through a lot.

Ahmed, don't walk away from me.

Do you now think it was a mistake to give me your number?

Why did you want to meet me?

My daughter passed away two weeks ago.

I hadn't even gotten used to a world without her.

That's when..

I got to know about my husband's affair.

That was yesterday.

I've got only one friend in this city.

l was on my way to his house yesterday.

Still, you haven't told me why you called me here.

For the time being, can you arrange a place for me to stay?

Maybe for a few days.

What about that place where I dropped you off yesterday?

When you've a family

everyone would have their own limitations.

Thanks!

What about your parents?

My father is no more.

I came to know about his death after a day..

My mom is at an old age home in Orlando.

What's the point in informing her about this?

Why don't you stay at a hotel for a few days?

I don't have..

I don't have enough money, Aadhi.

I had been playing different roles.

Girlfriend, wife, mother..

Amidst all these, I forgot to live for myself.

l just need some time.

I need to figure out

what the future has in store for me, if there is one.

I don't have anyone else to ask for help.

It's not your problem.

Even if you buy me a coffee and leave the place with an apology

I'd still be grateful to you.

I'll get you the coffee.

And we can leave this place together.

Where did she go?

We're talking about your wife, Rajan.

I should be asking you this.

If you were aware of that when you let her in last night

this wouldn't have happened.

I know why she left her home at midnight.

I had told her several times. But, she never listened.

Or else, I'd have put you in prison for domestic violence.

Rajan.

The illegal dealings between R.K. agency and Damodar Ratnam.

And your money laundering activity.

We know about everything.

When all this goes down, you're going to go down too!

This house? - It's mine.

This is the only place I know of.

Aadhi, if I stay at your place

what would people say?

Who are you talking about?

Didn't you just say that you don't have anyone?

And I cannot afford a hotel or apartment

for the time being.

Thanks.

Aadhi, do you have to do this?

Police will come looking for her regarding that case.

And then you'll be answerable to their questions.

Dear, she might not have anything more to lose.

But, is that our case?

Aadhi.

We've done so many wrong things for the ones we considered our own.

Now let me do something right, for someone who is a stranger.

Pizza is here.

Just leave the pizza. The money is under the mat. - No tip?

Hey, just leave the pizza and get the heck out.

Easy.. - Just leave me, man.

Can't you leave some money as tip?

Why do you have to spoil the reputation of Indians?

Let's go.

Let's go!

I'm Rani, I live nearby.

He might not have told you about me.

I know you. - I'm glad!

You won't get anything here other than stale bread.

So, I've got meals for you.

I don't know whether you'll like it.

Just give it a try.

I know everything.

God has plans for everyone.

I know it's hard to forget but..

Once you get used to everything, do come home.

Okay?

I'm talking to you as well!

Only a mother knows the pain of staying away from her child.

"Oh, tender flower that slowly blooms.."

"Your pretty face appears in my thoughts always.."

"Unknowingly, I came this way one day.."

"Like a butterfly that relishes nectar.."

"Desires are akin to the farthest clouds.."

"Even silence is brimming with clamour.."

"You were lost in sleep with the door still ajar.."

"The night lasts forever, without an end.."

"Like the shadow that follows.."

"I'm always there for you.."

"Only to fade in a moment's time.."

"Like sorrow, to some place infinite.."

"You too started fading away.."

"Oh, tender flower that slowly blooms"

"Your pretty face appears in my thoughts always.."

Do you ever wonder why you did all this?

Sometimes, you don't have a choice.

"Agony, as vast as the sky, melts like the snow.."

"As we embrace each other for the rest of our lives.."

"Like blazing summer winds.."

"Seasons become embers.."

"Did you disappear like a gentle tide?"

"Did you linger like a withered dream?"

"This yearning of my heart"

"will no longer be heard in this deserted life.."

"Like the shadow that follows.."

"I'm always there for you.."

"Only to fade in a moment's time.."

"Like sorrow, to some place infinite.."

"You too started fading away.."

To begin with, it's a typical American cliche.

First year of college.

Accidental pregnancy.

To me, giving birth to a child at a young age

seemed like a chance to rebel against my parents and society.

In one way, I was forcing this life upon me.

I need to move on.

In my life.

And for that, first, I need to leave this place.

And move to some unknown place, where nobody knows me.

I'm scared to go alone.

Seema..

You've no idea..

Seema, you don't know much about me.

I don't want to know.

I don't want to know about your past.

"Like the shadow that follows.."

"I'm always there for you.."

"Only to fade in a moment's time.."

"Oh, tender flower that slowly blooms.."

"Your pretty face appears in my thoughts always.."

"Unknowingly, I came this way one day.."

"Like a butterfly that relishes nectar.."

Things are never going to be the same again.

I don't want them to be the same.

I've got a few more things to do.

And it requires some time.

After that..

We'll leave this place.

Together.

Take this to Gwinn.

If our plan goes wrong, it will help us to start anew.

Go.

What?

He wants to come back. - Give it to me.

You are not coming back.

I'll let you know when it's time.

You should have thought of this earlier.

'It's not the strongest or the fittest who survive.'

'It's those who best adapt to change.'

'Damodar was clear about his goal from the time he came to Detroit.'

'He wanted to own the system.'

'To be the king.'

'Chandran's murder and surrendering to Antony'

'were his steps towards that goal.'

'And now, it was time for the final act.'

'Damodar Ratnam's master stroke'

'for making Detroit all his.'

It's an important job.

Why Aadhi? I'll do it myself.

Not possible, Selvan.

If something goes wrong, we shouldn't get caught.

What if it goes right?

Police will clear it up and after that..

Detroit will be ours.

Tell me, Bhaskar.

This needs an end.

My son..

I want to bring him back.

I want your word that you won't harm him.

Bhaskar is pleading.

Looks like he has settled all his debts, Brother!

You don't get it so easily.

I know.

Tell me what I should do.

But everything should end with that.

Let's finish it.

There is an important job left.

With that, we can end everything.

But, I don't know if Aadhi will do it.

Why?

He will do it.

Aju is not just my son.

He's like Aadhi's brother.

These brotherhood stories..

I've heard of them in the past, Bhaskar.

But, this love.. It's so nasty!

When it comes to love

there's no place for blood bonds or brotherhood.

No value at all.

Just be careful, Bhaskar!

No. He'll do it. Or else, I'll make him.

Tell me. What should he do?

This job is not just for Aadhi.

It's for you as well.

What do you want me to do?

You like driving, right?

You just have to do that.

We've got a van in the city suburbs.

You need to take it to a place without being spotted.

And we won't see each other again after that?

With this, Aju's debts will get settled.

Didn't we make that clear?

You think we can't get him if you put him in a motel at Cleveland?

Selvan.

If you want to leave this place, you must give us more details.

Him.

He was friends with Deepika.

What do you mean?

He's the one who took Deepika to the hospital.

Guess we're going to the hospital.

Yes, we are.

Didn't I do all this..

Even now, I'm doing this to keep Aju and you out of this.

Then why did you go and meet him without asking me?

Of course.

Weren't you trying to get rid of us?

With a girl's entry in your life, we've become irrelevant to you.

I'm done.

I can't bear to see Rani in tears.

I want my son back.

Even if I have to sacrifice my own life, I'm ready for it.

Do you seriously think

that they'll spare Aju if we do what he says?

We're stuck in this. Who do you think is the reason?

Is it Seema? Or her dead daughter?

You should have thought twice

before borrowing money from him to open your garage.

Yes. I didn't give it a second thought.

lf I had thought so much in my life

I wouldn't have taken you in, after your parents death.

You had two other uncles, right?

Why did they leave you behind?

It's because they thought a lot about it.

That's why!

You shouldn't have done it.

You shouldn't have taken me under your wing.

You could have forgotten that your sister had a son.

Then I wouldn't have had to listen to this today.

l have a request.

If I ever come back to this house

there shouldn't be anyone here to open the door.

Go!

Go somewhere!

Take your family along..

Don't ruin it.

I'm going to wait for you to mess this up.

Tell me.

'Damodar's plan.'

'The day of Marzaana.'

'The Polish custom of burning the Goddess of death alive'

'and welcoming spring.'

'The day of peace.'

'This day has another name.'

'Death Sunday.'

'Three murders at the same time.'

'Antony's cartel accountant, Novac.'

'Damodar assigned that task to Bhaskar.'

'Polish mafia's legal consultant, Antony's right hand man'

'Kovalsky.'

'That was Selvan's job.'

'Boris!'

'Antony's stepbrother and his only weakness'

'and that was Damodar's job.'

'Because that was personal.'

'When they find out that three of their members'

'were murdered at the same time, they'll do what they usually do.'

'An emergency meeting at Presidential hotel.'

'The entire Polish underworld assembles in one place.'

'Is Aadhi taking the truck to that place?'

'Once we finish this job, you'll get your life back.'

'And I will get Detroit.'

You know who this place belongs to?

Whoever you are, just go, man.

'Deliver and walk away!'

'That's always the deal.'

'But on that day'

'I did what I never do.'

'I stopped.'

'And turned back.'

Damodar, there's a bomb in the truck.

Just do your job, Aadhi.

You should have clearly told me about the job.

Just leave, Aadhi. Just leave the truck there.

After that, you are a free man.

A free man?

With the responsibility of the death of several people?

Will I be a free man?

Who are you talking about? The Poles?

Aadhi, you're overthinking. lt's wrong.

You're making a very big mistake, man.

Aadhi.

Do it.

Do it for our people.

You just forget this truck.

You're never going to see this again.

Darn! Aadhi.

Rani, we need to leave now.

Now. Just pack a few things.

What is it? What happened?

I don't have time to answer your questions.

Do what I say.

Or else, everything will end by tonight.

Aju, it's me. Take the next bus.

We're leaving Detroit tonight.

No, don't come here. We'll be there in the garage.

We can go from there. Okay.

Aadhi..

Aadhi.

Aadhi.. Where is he?

Where's Aadhi? Where's he?

W-Who are you?

He has something of ours.

But he's not giving it. Maybe you can convince him..

Get out of my house. I'm going to call the cops.

Selvan..

Seema.

When we were young, our mother taught us not to hurt girls.

As it's a sin.

Don't make me hurt you, please.

We don't want to know where he is now.

But he has two choices.

Either, take the thing to the destination.

Or, return it to us and clear the place.

Until I come back

I'll be a brother to you.

Your hair is wet. You don't want to fall sick, right?

Damodar!

Tell Aadhi that Damodar came by.

'Smoking is injurious to health.'

Hello.

Rewind. Just a little bit.

Freeze there.. - All right.

Yes. This is the guy.

He's the one who took Deepika to the hospital.

We had made inquiries regarding her death at her college.

And everyone led us to Shaun.

He supplies Redex around campus.

And he pointed this guy out.

So, he knew Deepika somehow.

He's working for a guy named Damodar.

Have you seen him anywhere before?

Hey, Ahmed.

Two unaccounted deaths, both Poles, both significant gang members.

Something big is happening. We got to go. - Shucks!

I got to go. Seema, he's going to take care of you.

Guys, let's go.

Seema..

Seema..

Selva, get that money from Gwinn.

What happened?

Don't know where to leave it for tonight.

We should not be in the city for some time.

Come back soon. - What about you?

Don't worry about me. I've got a plan.

Either today or tomorrow, Detroit will be ours.

Brother.

Be careful.

Mom, are we going to see Brother Aju?

Yes.

Shucks! Where the heck is Aju?

Bhaskar!

Damodar, I couldn't do it.

Forgive me. Please leave us alone.

I knew that you wouldn't be able to do it.

That's why I asked you to do it.

But, I am not here for that.

Where's Aadhi?

I don't know anything.

He didn't tell me anything.

Didn't I tell you that he would cheat?

Just look!

He fled without thinking about your family.

He shouldn't be forgiven, Bhaskar..

I'll tell him. He'll listen to me for sure.

You still trust him?

I only have 6 hours left.

If he has to come here before that

I'll have to do this.

Sorry.

It'll be over in 5 minutes.

But Bhaskar, you shouldn't forget one thing.

I'm not responsible for your death.

It's Aadhi.

Forgive me, buddy..

Didn't you promise that nothing bad would happen?

Didn't you?

Don't hang up, Seema.

I might not get another chance to say this.

I'm going somewhere and I might not come back.

Why does it matter, Aadhi?

l'm nobody to you.

You were a complete stranger.

I also wished that I didn't mean anything to anyone.

And then I met you.

Somewhere, my calculations went wrong.

I can never forgive you, Aadhi.

You shouldn't. I don't deserve it.

But for this one time and the last time ever

you should listen to me, Seema.

Stay here.

I'll be back.

Josh, we're good to go.

Josh.

Josh.

Josh!

Selvan.

Selvan isn't coming back.

Aadhi.

Aadhi, why?

You shouldn't have finished it like this.

You ruined everything.

Aadhi.

Aadhi.

There comes a time

when everybody has to give up, Aadhi.

Like I said

it shouldn't have ended like this, Aadhi.

l'm not giving up.

Not yet.

Finish me, Aadhi.

If I were in your place

l would pull the trigger.

Jamie.

I don't have to.

'Hello. - Antony.'

He's all yours.

The door is locked.

Then, unlock the door.

'I'm going somewhere and I might not come back.'

'But for this time..'

'And the last time ever..'

'You should listen to me, Seema.'

'Go home.'

'You'll find my car there.'

'The car and half of the money in the boot belongs to you.'

'Give the other half to Rani.'

'Ask her to go back to India.'

'That money will be enough for her to build a house'

'and to provide education to her children.'

'And as for you..'

'Take my car'

'and drive.'

'Keep driving.'

'Until you reach a place where nobody knows you.'

'Across the bridge is a new beginning.'

'And never come back.'

'If we had the option to choose our own destiny'

'we would never have met. But to meet you'

'and for that..'

'Just for that reason, I would live this life again.'

'This unfinished story should have an end, Seema.'

'Every story deserves an end.'

'But certain stories'

'the ones like this'

'ends at a beginning.'

'This is the beginning of this story.'

"You made me feel, unclouded.."

"Before I hit the road."

"And you deserve, all the love.."

"Because you are my shelter.. In pain, I glow.."

"From the day we were born.."

"We were sworn to a legacy."

"Enemy in front of me.."

"Fighting for supremacy."

"Pedigree of bloodstains, filling up my memory.

"Every single footprint, fading out in jealousy."

"I narrate this story, of a path laid by my ancestors.."

"A path that relishes flesh and blood.."

"One that was treaded by legends..

"Finding solace in one's pain.."

"And ego in the eyes of another.."

"Try to narrate the story of this land of warriors.."

"When wars become a necessity, weapons are the true Gods."

"Bliss of the trigger-fingered fizz.."

"Laying bullets in the mist.."

"Not a day to be missed.."

"Oh, time, when will I get this moment back?"

"The night seems to be eternal.."

"The light that showed us the way to this city"

"is leaving hints for an unexplained cause.."

"Are you the only one to swim across"

"this ocean of solitude?"

"Is this the city that had burnt itself"

"in its own fiery past?"

"You welcomed the youngest of waves"

"who longed to get embraced.."

"You disappeared like"

"the farthest star in the sky."
