Original subtitles

Amina Qureshi was murdered.

And I know who did it.

Who?

Dr Mansoor Alam.

Dr Palekar's assistant?

And my dad.

Our spectometres were faulty.

The sensors were spoilt so we got wrong numbers.

So what you're saying is this report is incorrect?

Unfortunately, yes.

You should've confessed the truth last time.

I wouldn't have to spend on air fare today.

I didn't kill him.

- I just... - Got him killed, right?

Hold on...

These are his bank statements.

Amina ma'am was asking about the money.

- Ronnie! - Oh f**k!

You're still at office? Why?

I know which story Amina was working on.

Which story?

Dr Nikhil Palekar's murder.

Dr Nikhil Palekar is...

Lead researcher at Directorate of Atomic Minerals.

Yeah right.

- I thought he committed suicide. - It's all a sham, a cover up.

Dr Palekar found lithium deposits in Beed.

- F**k! - Yeah.

In today's economy, lithium is like solid gold.

Exactly.

Before the government could know about this solid gold,

Dr Palekar was murdered.

Oh my god!

But Dr Palekar was a geologist at Directorate of Atomic Minerals.

I thought their stuff is like top secret.

His trusted assistant Dr Mansoor Alam

sold his research to a private company for 2 million dollars!

And after that Dr Palekar was murdered and the reports vanished.

God!

Which private company? Do you have any idea?

I was hoping you'd tell me.

What do you mean?

You know exactly what I mean, Ronnie.

That private company is Nicolabs.

Nicolabs got Dr Palekar killed.

- When Amina... - Hey wait...

Are you kidding?

Do you know what your saying?

Nicolabs is a globally respected tech giant

and not some underworld mafia.

Look, I know what's going on here.

- Amina's death... - It's murder not death.

You know Amina was murdered because

you guys were behind it.

- What rubbish! - Shut up.

Shut the f**k up, Ronnie!

I'm not a f*****g fool!

How could you do this to Amina?

Do you have proof?

Dr Mansoor Alam got 2 million dollars

from Balckridge Publications.

And Nicolabs owns Blackridge Publications.

Look Radha, listen to me. I had no option.

- Okay. Amina learnt the truth... - Now I know it too.

You have to control your emotions and not do anything stupid.

I was stupid!

I was stupid, Ronnie

because I didn't realise you were using me!

You were f*****g using me

and today Amina's dead because of my stupidity!

Radha...

Those people are dangerous.

I won't be able to save you.

Don't even try to save me.

Because if I survive, I swear on Amina

all of you will perish.

You f*****g...

It's not allowed, sir.

Are you new here?

- Sir, Meghna madam... - Hey, Dipankar.

I wasn't expecting you this late.

What the f**k is happening here?

Strategy change.

The management has decided to give young blood a chance.

So?

You're fired.

Now Rihana will do your 9pm slot.

I would've mailed that you but

Nandan sir just informed me you know.

Don't be mad at me, Dipankar.

You know I'm just Mr Nandan's voice in the room.

- Sir. - Anuj.

Change in plans. Come home not to the office.

Sir...

What?

Sir, Somynona...

Yes, sir, both were killed.

Micheal too.

Your full and final settlement will be transferred to your account.

Do you want any help with your stuff or would you manage?

You don't know who I am.

I'm Dipankar Sanyal.

I'll f*****g destroy you!

F**k!

Yes, Ronnie.

Radha Bhargava knows.

How much?

Everything.

Hello?

Is she going to spill the beans?

Ronnie?

In my professional assessment,

yes.

F**k!

Don't let the bad things that happened to you affect your journalism.

Think about the changes

you wanted to bring about through journalism.

Yes, Amina.

Did you say something?

What's the matter?

Sorry.

That's all for today.

Don't waste my time.

Mad fellow.

Say something, Radha.

- What's the matter? - Sit.

Zeba, that's Yashwant Bhau, okay?

Don't worry. He's going to take care of you.

- Okay. - Don't worry, okay?

If it's dangerous, why wait here? Come with me.

No, Bhau. This is all my fault.

I'll have to set things right.

Please go. I'll get in touch later.

Damn it!

Mister, my phone broke down. Can you lend me your phone.

Please.

Thank you.

Dipankar, this is Radha.

It's urgent.

Where are you? When do we meet?

3.30 am bus 36, Mary Chowk.

What happened, Dipankar? Someone killed your story?

But Radha Bhargava's story is alive.

Don't worry, it will benefit you and the CM.

Why would Radha Bhargava do a story for us?

I'll do that story.

And Radha Bhargava?

Radha Bhargava will die tonight.

Meaning?

Nothing, just remember our deal.

Dipankar, I'll see you in 10 minutes.

Mary Chowk.

Who do you work for?

Some reporter you are!

You're about to die

yet you're interrogating me!

Who do you work for?

Madam.

For money.

It's done.

- Send the OP van and camera crew. - Please move.

Quick.

Move back please.

Move back.

Move.

Looks like a shoot-out.

- No idea. - Killed her.

The system killed Radha Bhargava.

My colleague and editor-in-chief of Aawaz Bharati, Radha Bhargava

was working on an important story.

A story that would expose the whole system.

It scared them so much they killed Radha Bhargava.

The CM killed Radha Bhargava.

This has gone viral.

Everyone's blaming the CM.

The elections are two months away.

We have to react now.

Yes, sir, absolutely. We're on it.

We're tracing Mansoor Alam and we'll locate him for sure

and take care of him by the end of the day.

You have my word on that.

You better, Ronnie.

Anything else.

Sir, I have a quick question for you.

The project's still on, right?

Yes, it's on.

Everything is going according to plan.

Great.

Where were you? I've been trying to call you all morning?

How did you learn about Radha?

I have a source in Cooper Hospital.

He sent me this.

How do you know

- the CM... - Radha knew

that CMO was behind Amina's death.

So...

Obvious.

Guys, Josh is talking rubbish.

What the f**k is going on?

Radha Bhargava spread conspiracy theories against the government all her life

and fooled people.

The same is happening about her death.

They're conjuring conspiracy theories

and spreading fake news.

But don't fall for it. Don't trust these conspiracy theories.

State police is investigating Radha's death.

Have faith in the government and the police.

Three... Radha Bhargava was shot at three times.

And yet the CM won't be able to stifle her voice

because Radha Bhargava's voice wasn't ordinary.

It was yours and my voice too.

The voice of this state.

Today the CM will have to listen.

He will listen to our voice.

Guys,

I'm not a journalist like you.

But Radha and Amina were journalists.

They were one of you and the government...

F**k.

We have to react.

We have to show those b******s we can't be silenced.

Mr Parchure is marching towards the CMO.

We have to support him.

Drive faster.

No, I don't have time.

I'll pay you any amount but I have to leave today.

Leader of Janjagrut Party...

Yes, Nepal will do but hurry up.

Today itself.

- Yes. - On the other hand,

the CM has called for a press conference.

Let's go live to the CM's press conference.

Sir, Mr Parchure said

that Radha Bhargava criticised you and your government.

Hence, your government killed her.

What's your take on that?

There's no place for revenge in politics.

Besides criticising and questioning the government

is what journalists do.

It's my turn and I'll do my bidding as the CM.

The truth about Radha Bhargava's death will be out soon.

Sir...

Sir, Parchure is marching here with his party workers.

Thrash them all.

Tell the commissioner the CM has given him a free hand.

Go.

Sir...

Yes.

This was bound to happen.

Found Mansoor Alam, sir.

- Inform the police commissioner. - Okay.

But, sir, what's my fault here?

I just follow your orders.

Sir, I've always just been your voice in the room.

Sir?

F**k!

What does this mean?

How can you just sack me?

It's not just you, we have both been sacked.

Why?

JJP party workers protesting outside the CMO

were thrashed by the police.

They used 12 cannisters of tear gas and water cannons.

Along with Pramod Parchure

3 dozen party workers of JJP were injured.

Message boss.

No man! No, Kamal.

We need anger man! We need aggression.

Imagine how Radha would speak in this situation.

That's what I want.

You understand me? I want that.

In the next show, I want Radha Bhargava.

Got it?

- Yes. - Good.

F**k!

Cancel everything and PCR ready in 20 minutes...

- Hey. - Where did you find this?

Dipankar sir gave it.

- Dipankar sir... - Tables have turned.

Praful sir,

Dipankar sit wants two chairs in the studio side by side.

Why two chairs?

Ranjeet Sabharwal is directly linked to Amina's death, Dipankar.

Listen, he knows you know.

He will come for you.

Your life is in danger, Radha.

I can find you a safe house, believe me.

No, that's a bad idea.

If I dodge the shooter, Ranjeet will panic.

He will flee the country.

He killed Amina, Dipankar.

I can't let him go.

Did you kill Amina Qureshi?

How?

2 mm thallium

in orange juice.

And Dr Palekar?

Sleeping pills.

Who do you work for?

Money.

It's done.

The police do not have evidence.

Until we find Dr Alam

you will have to die.

Killed her.

The system killed Radha Bhargava.

You sure about this?

Meaning?

I mean you've been building this narrative for a year.

You're set to destroy it today.

Awaaz Bharati, your credibility

will be finished.

That which can't withstand the truth better perished.

And your career?

Your journalism?

What I've been doing since months

and what we're doing since 10 years

can't be called journalism, Dipankar.

This is an illness. A brain virus,

that people like us inject in people's minds.

Propelling them to fight and kill.

That's who we've become?

There's no cure to this illness, Radha.

Such is the world.

No, Dipankar.

No.

There's a simple cure.

Honest, unbiased journalism.

We did that once upon a time.

Some thing Amina did till her last breath.

Are you doing this for Amina or ethical journalism?

For me, they're one.

Amina is journalism and vice versa.

Let's do it then.

10, 9, 8,

7, 6,

5, 4,3

2, 1

and live.

Switch.

My fellow media person and lead anchor of Awaaz Bharati

Radha Bhargava was shot to death this morning.

Upon hearing this news,

opposition parties staged protests.

Riots broke out across the city.

In retaliation the state police took to lathi charge

and imposed section 144.

The question is who killed Radha Bhargava and why.

Guys, what the f**k is going on here?

What is this, crap? Pankaj, what is this?

Nothing much, the lithium story.

To answer this question, we have with us

Radha Bhargava herself.

Yes, you heard that right. Radha Bhargava.

You said you want Radha Bhargava today.

Here she is Radha Bhargava.

With the help of the police

she spread fake news of her death on social media.

Tell us, Radha Bhargava,

why did you stage your death?

To bring out the truth about Amina Qureshi's death.

What truth?

Editor-in-chief of Awaaz Bharati, Amina Qureshi was murdered

by the owner of Awaaz Bharati's owner Nicolabs.

Shut that. I want this crap off right now.

Too late for that, Ronnie.

Reason?

Lithium.

Huge amounts of lithium deposits were found in Beed district.

To get control over lithium,

Nicolabs got government geologist Dr Nikhil Palekar killed.

For the same lithium, CM candidate from JJP

Pramod Parchure received illegal crypto funds.

When Amina learnt of this,

she was killed for the same lithium.

This is both complicated and shocking a revelation.

Will you explain to the public in detail

how Nicolabs provides funds to Pramod Parchure?

The reason is simple, profit.

Why does a businessman support any politician?

Why does Nandan Balachandran support the CM?

Profit, right?

Government geologist Dr Nikhil Palekar

found lithium deposits in Beed district.

Unfortunately, before the proof could reach the government,

his assistant Dr Mansoor Alam

sold the proof to Nicolabs.

The main business of Nicolabs is electrical vehicles

so they need lithium.

Exactly! Lithium is crucial to them.

Nicolabs wanted 100% control over lithium in Beed.

They got Dr Nikhil Palekar killed and got away with the reports.

So you're saying Nicolabs killed Amina and Dr Palekar

for the lithium found in Beed

because it was in such huge quantity

that it can turn a billion dollar company

to a trillion dollar company over night. Am I right?

Yes.

But you haven't yet explained

why Nicolabs funds Pramod Parchure.

Nicolabs knows the CM

is connected to Nandan Balachandran of Vectanet.

They want a CM of their own

who will hand the lithium to them. Simple.

Radha Bhargava's accusations against Nicolabs are not simple but serious.

Sadly, it's all true.

The government has all the evidence.

JJP leader Pramod Parchure and business head of Nicolabs

Ranjeet Sabharwal have been arrested.

- I am Dipankar Sanyal... - Dipankar...

I'd like to say some thing.

Sir, should I cut?

Pramod Parchure is wrong but that doesn't mean the CM is right.

It's our.

Be it the CM, Parchure or any political leader,

they're all commoners like you and me.

Don't exalt politicians to God's position.

Don't be a blind follower at all.

Just keep your eyes open.

We have to do that to keep democracy alive.

When leaders do some thing good, appreciate them

but when they go wrong, don't back away from criticising them.

Don't be scared.

Always remember

you and I are the public

and nobody is above the public in a democracy.

That's Radha Bhargava

and I am Dipankar Sanyal. You're watching Josh 24/7.

It's all about the nation.

And cut.

- For you. - Thank you.

So?

What's next?

What's next?

Electoral bonds case is still pending.

That's an interesting story.

Nandan won't let you do it.

No.

For your kind information, Mr Nandan Balachandran is history now.

Josh 24/7 is independent and so is Dipankar Sanyal.

- Congratulations. - Thank you.

Actually, for that matter,

congratulations to you.

You got jailed for Operation Umbrella.

That has been hacked.

If this story gets out, Operation Umbrella will be finished.

Why give it to me?

Once you gave me a story right here.

Hence, I'm returning the favour.

Now we're even.

What's next?

Let's see.
