All language subtitles for Scam 2003 The Telgi Story S01 E07_track3_[eng]

[car doors closing]

[JK] 'Everyone thinks
our business is finished.'

They want their money back.
They want to get out of this mess.

- Do you feel the same way?
- [JK] 'All I'm saying is...'

...let's slow down
for the next few days.

You're all idiots.

We should do the opposite.

Double the production and sales.

Increase profit-sharing.
Increase the revenue.

This isn't the time to hide.
It's the time to show them what we’re made of.

Make more money for everyone.
More than ever before.

The more you oil a machine,
the better it will function.

You had poured cash
the last time, hadn’t you?

What was the outcome?

[Salim] 'They promised you.'

They said no one
would touch you.

What are you doing here then?

M**********r!

This is all Sheikh's doing.

I'm going to find
a permanent solution to him.

I’ll make sure he loses
his position in the government.

I'm going to shove such a missile
up his a*s..

..He'll never be able to recover.

[Title Montage]

[Abdul] Sheikh thought he could get away
after getting me into trouble.

My business was disrupted
because of him.

The least I could do
was tarnish his reputation.

[Anna] 'Karnataka engulfed
in stamp paper corruption.'

Suspicious involvement
of party ministers...

...in stamp paper fraud.

I have never seen such a
shameless government...

...in my entire political career.

The allegations are
quite serious.

Meanwhile, we're forming
an independent investigation team...

...which will look into this case.

It's done, sir.

Well, Sheikh's men
are threatening Salim.

He's a toothless lion.
Let him try and roar.

He lost his ministry.
He's bound to cry.

Hmm.

The state government has formed
a special investigation team.

They'll handle our case hereon.

The government is in a state
of panic.

Instead of charging me,
they'll try to save me now.

Anyway, whether it’s Mumbai or Bangalore,
the police are on our side.

[Suryapratap] 'Whether B.R. or P.O...'

...using them both,
or rather, misusing them...

...major funds have been secured.

The market of those funds
was then manipulated.

The scamster this time...

...had released payment orders...

...without depositing security
in the bank.

Such are the times
we live in.

A thief isn't ashamed
of his thievery.

Instead, he's proud of it.

[Suryapratap] 'You don't understand a word,
do you?'

Fine, let's talk in simple terms.

Every scamster has a simple logic...

...behind every scam he does.

This logic gives him the confidence
to fool people.

And on the basis of this confidence,
they take risks.

No system is fool-proof.

[Suryapratap] 'And the more complicated
the system...'

...the more difficult it is
to find loopholes.

If you understand the system,
you'll understand the loopholes...

...and also the logic
of the scamster.

And once you catch the logic...

...the scamster will be caught too.

[Constable] 'Gehlot, sir.
DGP Ma’am is waiting for you.'

We'll continue talking
about this logic later.

[Johar] 'The case is a bit
complicated, Surya.'

You know that the government
is directly blamed...

...for the stamp paper fraud.

It's become
even more political now.

Anna's party is in the centre.

And if the CTI takes over...

...it will be considered a moral defeat
of the ruling party here in Karnataka.

[Johar] 'You have worked in CTI
for 11 years.'

'And Telgi's judicial custody of 90 days
will be over in one week.'

I have a question, ma'am.

Do you really want me to investigate
or just act?

As you mentioned,
it's political.

Does the ruling party
really fear the CTI?

You're right.
I've been given a script.

We need to steer clear of Sheikh.

[Johar] 'If you go after him...'

'...the government will be
implicated directly.'

'Then there will be roadblocks.'

So, I want you to assess
the situation and improvise.

Act where you have to.

And when you need to take action...

...become an action hero.

He’s coming
from Raj Bhavan directly.

Jai Hind, sir.

- Sir, this is Suryapratap Gehlot.
- Of course, I know about him.

Thank you, sir.

- Inspector Vinayak. Inspector. Radha.
- Hello.

- DIG. Krushnaraj.
- Hello, sir.

Sir, these are our best officers.

That's it?
Don't you need more people?

The smaller the core team,
the better, sir.

In case I need more,
I'll bother you again, sir.

Good luck.
I have full confidence in you.

[Lawyer] 'I request the honourable judge...'

'...to allow this team
to interrogate Mr. Abdul Karim Telgi.'

The SIT team needs to do that
in order to file...

...a charge sheet in the court.

The letter I have submitted...

...has been officially stamped
and signed by DG Karnataka.

[Judge] 'First, file the charge sheet.'

And based on the grounds
of the charge sheet...

...I'll allow your team
to interrogate the accused.

Permission to speak, sir.

We don't have time.

We need to question him
in order to file the charge sheet.

Otherwise he'll be out on bail
within a week.

Well, in that case, present a more
substantive application.

[Judge] 'Thank you. Next.'

So the groom is being kept
away from his bride after marriage.

- Right, Krushnaraj?
- [Krushnaraj] 'Sir.'

This bride has come to
her in-laws' home with great difficulty.

We can't let her go back
to her maternal home so soon.

We must think of something else.

[Rajnikant] 'You're wasting your time, sir.'

There's lack of intent
in the government machinery.

You will get fed up
and give up eventually.

So, you’d better give up
already.

High profile cases
have just two options.

Let go, or get to the root.

Go ahead and try.

His judicial custody
will end in 5-6 days.

I know we don't have much time.

And yet, we’ve made this trip
to meet you.

Continue, sir.

How did you arrive at these 23 names
so fast?

Not 23 Sir. 22.

Abdul Telgi's name was tipped
by DCP Sir himself.

Moreover, the drivers
also confirmed his identity.

This means Telgi's name
was added on purpose?

Maybe.

- Hello.
- [Faridabee] Abdul.

It's me.

- How are you, Ammi?
- I'm fine.

I know you're in jail.

This isn't the first time
you've gone to jail..

[Faridabee] So, I have to ask.
How are you?

Ammi. You too?

I called to find out the truth.

What’s happened?

- Nothing, Ammi--
- [Faridabee] Stop, Abdul.

You know, whenever something
like this would happen earlier...

...I'd call Nafisa and ask.

And she'd say,
"Abdul is a very good man."

[Faridabee] "It's the people around him
that frame him."

Do you want to hear the truth?

I trust Nafisa
more than you.

Just as Zia is your daughter...

...Nafisa is my daughter.

[Faridabee] Remember this.
Allah Hafiz.

Allah Hafiz...

[Kamble] 'Abdul has been cooperating with everyone
for the past three months.'

I want to share
this file with you.

It has the licence copies
of 19 stamp paper vendors.

The one who has
a valid licence already...

...why would he transport
stamp papers illegally?

Your client and you have been
cooperating since the beginning.

Yes.

If you want, I can send
supporting documents too.

But please take a look at it...

...before the charge sheet
is filed next week.

Actually, Abdul wants
to apologise to you.

Because of him,
a decorated officer like you...

...got pulled into this mess.

In this case,
whatever is possible...

Well... You know...

Help. We can help you
if you like.

- Done.
- Thank you, sir. Thank you--

- Of course you can help me.
- Sir--

There are many
unanswered questions.

Give me the answers to those.

I can't meet Abdul.

Why don't you answer on his behalf?
Please help me.

- I--
- They are basic questions.

When did this business of
illegal stamp papers begin?

Where did it start?
Who else is involved in it?

Tell Abdul.

I'm following the rules and law
so far.

Once I go after him,
he'll be f****d.

I won’t care about rules then.

Out!

And listen.

Here's the file
of your vendors.

Thank you for coming.

There was a lot of confusion
with regard to your client.

It's cleared now.

[Suryapratap] 'Leave.'

[Ganesh] 'We’d better steer clear...'

...of Suryapratap Gehlot.

He is extremely arrogant
and rigid.

A dog's tail is rigid too.

Arrogance doesn't take you
too far.

But we must get rid
of all evidences.

If Suryapratap or his team
finds anything...

...he will file
a solid charge sheet.

[Suryapratap] 'Telgi isn't small fish.'

We must go after him.

But we must also focus
on the remaining 22 names.

We have a few addresses.
So, let's move.

Girish lives here?

Anyone here?

This is the evidence room.

You need written permission
from the headquarters.

Go meet DCP Sir.

- [Arvind] 'We had an appointment, right?
- [Krushnaraj] Yes, sir.'

We'll have to reschedule.

The minister has called for me.
It's an urgent matter.

[Suryapratap] 'We had this file, ma'am.
And all we have so far...'

...is just this file.

Our own department
is not cooperating.

They are creating roadblocks
deliberately.

We're being given
the wrong documents.

We're unable to interrogate
Telgi either.

Come to the point, Surya.

We don't have sufficient evidence.
Telgi will get bail.

[Suryapratap] 'And as for these 22 names...'

...they are like ghosts.
All fake.

I'm aware of the corrupt elements
of the department.

It's there.

[Surya] 'But that's why
I got you, Surya.'

'He can't get out.'

Think about it.

Ma'am, one last thing.

We need access to the stamp papers
that were recovered.

No one has given us permission yet.
Can you?

I might be able to add two and two
to make it 22.

[Suryapratap] 'Did you calculate the total?'

I didn't, but it must be
around 80-90 lakhs, sir.

How do you know?

I just assumed, sir.

- I'll tell you what.
- Yes.

Count again.

It'll take 3-4 days
to count them again, sir.

Stamp papers aren't counted.
They are weighed.

Your assumption was
absolutely correct.

But you missed a zero.

[Vinayak] 'Sir.'

Investigating here without the support
of the local police...

Are we making a mistake, sir?

Your biggest mistake would be
to fear making a mistake.

We learn from our mistakes.

Let's first go to the one with whom
Telgi made his first mistake.

Take us there.

[Radha] 'Name?'

Parwin.

Real name?

Parwin.

For how many years
have you known Abdul?

It's been many years.

Did he ever talk about
his business?

- Never.
- What did he talk about then?

He'd talk about movies sometimes.

He'd talk about his wife.

And when he had nothing else
to talk about...

...he'd praise me.

He never mentioned his work?

[Parwin] 'He runs a printing business,
For wedding cards and invites.'

It's locked, sir.

[printing press whirring]

F**k!

Hey, mister!
What do you think you're doing?

Nothing. Get lost.

[Man] 'How can we get lost?'

This is our area.

This is a police matter.
Don't interfere. Get lost.

The police is here...

[Man] '...to harass!'

[man whistles]

[Man] 'Rafeeq! Shafique!'

Coming, bhai.

'Amjad!’

Coming bhai.

Sadeef! Vinod! Rasheed!

Aye! Come quickly! Come on!

Hasan!

[Indistinct chatter]

Come quickly!

Sir, just three or four of us
won't be able to tackle them.

They hold a grudge against
the police.

Fine, let's turn the car around.

What are you waiting for!
Come on!

Move fast.

Hey.

Mani.

Where would the closest
dumpster be?

Hold on. Go back.

Sir, at least tell us
what we're looking for here.

Whatever it is
that we're looking for, sir...

...we're sure to get
our hands dirty in the process.

We're doing our duty by freeing
the country of dirt and corruption.

Sir, look at this.

Radha, show me that stamp paper.

Put it in the evidence bag.

What happened, sir?

Logic.

[Abdul whistles]

All the arrangements are made?

Yes, my car will pick me up
outside the court.

Hmm.

Abdul, I’ve enquired.
No charge sheet.

- No charge sheet?
- No charge sheet.

Your Honour, in order to stop
this bail application...

...we're filing a charge sheet
based on the same charge sheet...

... which was filed by the
original investigating officer, ACP Rajnikant.

Why is the investigative team
resorting to the use of the old charge sheet?

[Kamble] It is absurd that the public
prosecutor is using such tactics.

My client has spent his time
in police custody...

...and in judicial custody...

[Kamble] '...as per the law. They cannot file
the same charge sheet...'

...again and again and again. I mean...
- [Suryapratap] 'Sir.'

Permission to approach
the bench.

- Permission granted.
- Thank you, sir.

There's a slight change...

...in the previous charge sheet
and in this one.

Sir, the amount in the previous one
was 90 lakhs.

[Suryapratap] And when we recalculated,
the amount came up to...

...nine crore rupees, sir.

[Suryapratap] 'If stamp papers
worth nine crore rupees...'

...had been stolen...

...there would have been a huge
discrepancy in the government registry.

Someone would have been sure
to catch it.

Thank you.

Sir, one of these stamp papers
is original, the other one is fake.

So, please, sir.

Give your expert opinion
on which is real, which is fake.

Please show it to Sir.

[Judge] 'This one is fake...'

...and this is the real one.

Well...

Both these stamp papers
are original, sir.

[Suryapratap] 'The only difference is...'

...one was printed at the
government press in Nashik,

...while the other was printed...

[Suryapratap]...in Mr. Abdul Telgi's...

...private press.

[Suryapratap] 'Actually, sir, it's very difficult
to print counterfeit currency...'

...because it contains
many security features.

Plus, notes are constantly in
circulation...

...hence they can be caught easily.

But a stamp paper
is used everywhere, sir...

...and doesn't have too many
security features.

Moreover, we use it once
and lock it away for good.

Absolutely no circulation at all, sir.

It's simple, sir.

Printing stamp papers is easy...

...and catching a counterfeit
stamp paper is very difficult.

[Suryapratap] 'Stamp papers worth nine crore
rupees were caught in Bangalore.'

A network like that could be
present in every state, sir.

20-25 vans a month.

250-300 vans a year.

Which means...

...around two to two and a half
thousand crores a year.

This isn't a small-time fraud,
sir.

This is a scam.

[Abdul] 'I fill all your pockets!'

Every one of you!

Juniors, seniors, everyone!

So much that your future generations
won't have to earn!

And you can't even get me bail?

[Rajesh] Suryapratap Gehlot mentioned
such a heavy figure in court...

...that no judge would take
the risk of letting you go.

[Rajesh] Now, the problem is that everyone
will believe this figure to be true...

...and the further deals
will need to be made accordingly.

[Rajesh] But we're all with you.

We'll get you out instantly,
after the next hearing.

Don't think too much.
We'll get you out.

- You're our own.
- Your own? Your own?

If you say I'm your own,
prove it.

Or else, they say that your own people
end up digging your grave.

Get me out of here anyhow.

Talk to Vaidya and Bhide.
Transfer me to Maharashtra.

Abdul, I know everything.

[Dombe] That Suryapratap Gehlot
visited your press, didn't he?

In order to bring you back here...

...Rawat and I
will talk to Bhide sahab.

[Dombe] And listen,
Send two lakhs for Bhide sahab.

Don't forget. Your freedom
depends on it. Got it?

[Abdul] I’ll send it.

This isn't a fraud.
It's a nationwide scam.

Everything we've found proves it.

Especially after
our investigation in Maharashtra...

And we tapped Telgi's phone calls too.

Government officials are
involved too, sir.

And this might be
just a tip of the iceberg.

Where is this iceberg?

In Maharashtra, right?

And this machine you're talking about,
is also in Maharashtra.

The officials are from there too.

So, this Titanic should also
sink over there, right?

[Rajesh] 'Mr. Gehlot.'

Submit all the findings of Maharashtra
to us.

We will need those
to share on the assembly floor.

[More] 'Honourable Speaker!'

The current state government
has crossed all limits of corruption!

[More] 'And the government is not
investigating this!'

If the investigation
is not happening...

...then the entire cabinet
must resign!

[Bade Jadhav] 'Dhumal sahab,
that Shiv Shashidhar is a rogue.'

The SIT that he has appointed...

...is not SIT,
it's S-H-I-T.

He's just putting
the blame on us.

Moreover, More has taken the most
amount of bribes from Abdul.

He shouts the most
in the legislative assembly.

[people clapping]

Who's Abdul?
A dog that bites.

More is trying to save his a*s
while we're totally exposed.

Hmm.

Bring Abdul back, but not here.
Send him to Pune.

He has many friends here.

Our CP Suri in Pune
will take care of him.

Come.

Have you heard about Telgi?

Well, I know about the case, sir...

...but I don't have
the details.

Well, all you have to do is
capture him, and put a leash on him.

[Bade Jadhav] And I've spoken to Deosaheb
about sending you to Mumbai.

Handle this matter for now.
Later, CP Mumbai.

Sir, I'll send Halani to Bangalore
today.

Hello, Mr. Abdul Karim Telgi.

I'm DCP Halani.

[Halani] 'Commissioner of Police, Pune,
Jagdish Suri has sent me to meet you.'

We can help you
in getting out of here.

But you must cooperate with us
fully.

Do you want to go back home?

We can take you.

Forget everyone else.

What do you mean,
everyone else?

Forget everyone else,
except CP Suri and me.

[Halani] 'You'll have to work
with Pune police force...'

...if you want to see your family
again.

It's simple.

[Jadhav's PA] Parwin's lover.

Jadhav sahab has asked me
to talk to you.

Did you meet Halani?

Yes, she's right here.

[Jadhav's PA] Just do as she says.
You see, we want to bring you back here.

I won't call you again.

The situation is heating up.

[Jadhav's PA] Okay, see you.

Strange.
Everyone's interested in you.

Any interest always has...

...a capital investment
to back it up.

How much will it cost?

Have you set a limit?

I've understood, ma'am.
You're very powerful.

But I'm not a weak man either.

Do you know
when a man becomes weak?

When he works within limit.

But rascals are limitless.

[Abdul] 'Right?'

As the work progresses,
we'll keep settling the account.

So, let's begin? First step?

In order to catch a criminal...

...you must catch him
committing the crime.

Evidence in action.

We'll need a car full of
stamp papers.

So, let me do this.

[Halani] 'I'll call your partner JK.'

When you call JK,
don't do it from your phone.

There are many
eavesdroppers here.

[Abdul] 'Who the hell is Halani?'

Halani is Pune’s most brutal officer.

[Rawat] But she's the only one
who can get you out of there.

The orders are coming from above.

- From whom? Bade Jadhav?
- From Deosaheb Dhumal.

[Rawat] Just do as she says.

We'll handle the rest.

Hmm.

[Halani] 'Sir, we've arrested two people...'

...on the Pune highway.

They were travelling with a car
full of stamp papers.

Tonight, our officers
received a tip...

...after which we performed
a clandestine operation...

...with the help of which
we were able to detain a car...

...near the cantonment area...

...in which we found
illegal stamp papers.

[Suri] We suspect
that Mr. Abdul Karim Telgi...

...is connected to this case.

[Rawat] ‘Abdul, Pune police has begun
talks about your custody.’

[Abdul] ‘Just get me out of Karnataka
and into Maharashtra..’

‘I won’t just double
everyone’s figures.’

‘I’ll multiply them
beyond your imagination.’

[Theme Music Playing]
