Original subtitles

[Suryaveer] You want to exhume the buried bodies?

It's been a week since they have been there.

We have heard one side of the story.

Let's watch the other side as well.

[Angad] Monica, we can't do anything here.

We should leave.

[Shouting]

[Tires screeching]

[Angad] Monica, get in.

[Breaks glass]

The Army cannot engage with civilians like this.

Do you understand that?

Asif was shot from below. Straight shot.

Exactly like reported.

Last night, I finally felt that we have moved on.

I am filing the report and going back.

And yes,

I have moved on from you.

[Man 4] There was a similar fake encounter in Kashmir...

...seven years ago.

The name of the officer was Major Shakti Mandappa.

[Gunshot]

[Sprays]

[Suryaveer] See this. Operation Vijay.

1999 Kargil war.

Mahavir Chakra.

- [Knocks on door] - Yes, come in.

[Door opens]

[Suryaveer] Major, you have come at the right time.

I was just telling the boys.

That this medal can fade.

But not its glory.

What do you say, Angad?

Right, sir. It is an honour working under you.

Honour.

Honour.

You have no idea what honour means to me.

[Suryaveer] It is a simple six lettered word.

But with it comes responsibility.

And one has to embrace that responsibility.

Like a medal.

As it must, like my pride.

So, Major.

Case over. Report is done.

Yes, sir.

It is ready from my side. But Angad doesn't want to sign it.

- What? - He wants to do the final round of questioning.

- Angad. - Yes, sir. Sorry, sir.

Just a few questions are left...

[Angad] ...to seal the report.

It won't take much time.

Just wrap this up quickly, guys.

You have stretched it a bit too far already.

Yes, sir.

With your permission, sir.

I will see you in a bit.

[Title Montage]

[Phone ringing]

Hello.

I know I should have told you about Angad.

[Monica] And I am sorry for that.

But what I am not sorry for is doing my job.

For me, my job is most important and you know that.

[Song playing]

[Monica] And if you can't understand this.

Or don't want to understand this.

Then there is nothing I can tell you.

I love you.

But the decision is yours to make.

Not mine.

[Song playing]

[Pulls chair]

What exactly was that back there?

Firstly, I am sorry for this morning.

- There's is too much going on. - Yeah.

And secondly?

Interrogation room. Now.

- What? - Last round. I promise.

[Monica] So Major Gaurav,

describe what happened on the incident night.

Madam, why don't you go home and listen...

...to what you are recording every day.

[Shakti] You ask the same question every day.

We get very little time to spend with the family in the evening.

She takes away that time as well.

[Monica] Fine, I will spare it.

I will not only give you family time but alone time.

You wait in the next room. I will talk to you later.

We will talk to you separately.

[Gaurav] I am sorry.

But why do you want to talk separately?

- Any problem? - No, Major.

Nobody except you.

[Saluting]

So tell me, what exactly happened that night?

[Monica] Share every little detail.

On the evening of 5th January, Ajay got information.

A large consignment of arms was going to cross the border.

He informed us because...

...we were following the boys for a while.

Time, details, everything.

5th January, at 17:40, Ajay got the information...

[Shakti] ...that the terrorist from Munabao village...

...was crossing the border with a large consignment of arms.

How do you know it was exactly 17:40 hours?

Major, I am an Army man.

Remembering these important details is not difficult for me.

What did you do when you reached the location at 18:30 hours?

- [Loading gun] - [Shakti] We knew the terrorists were inside.

And we wanted to capture them alive.

- But Ajay fired the gun. - [Gunshot]

And it turned out that they too had guns.

They fired. And then they ran.

[Gunshots]

[Gaurav] We chased them.

Crossing firing happened.

- [Gunshots] - Ajay's bullet hit Asif.

[Monica] Asif was shot. Then what did you do?

Asif fell down.

Khalid tried to escape.

Ajay warned him, but he did not stop.

- [Gunshot] - [Gaurav] He shot Khalid.

Khalid fell off. Ajay went to check on him.

And during that time, Asif shot Ajay from behind.

[Gunshot]

[Monica] So Asif, despite being fatally injured,

could aim perfectly from approximately 14 feet away?

- Why did you not stop him? - It was field mission.

If I could do something, Major Ajay wouldn't have died.

It all happened too quickly.

[Shakti] Ajay was my friend.

I reacted as quickly as I could.

That's why I shot Asif after he shot Ajay.

[Gunshot]

Okay, just to be sure. Let's compile it again.

[Monica] What happened after you left at 18:30 hours?

Stop it, Monica.

The truth will not change...

- ...if you ask the same question repeatedly. - Exactly, Angad.

And if it changed, it wasn't the truth.

[Monica] When you live 10 minutes away from Munabao village,

why did it take 15 minutes?

[Shakti] Are you bloody out of your mind?

I don't know. Let's check.

Let's call Gaurav as well.

Kedar.

- [Door opens] - [Kedar] Yes, sir.

Send Major Gaurav in.

[Door closes]

[Door opens]

Major Gaurav, when were you commissioned at the Army?

Monica, how is this related to the case?

Major Gaurav Shekhawat, INA batch of 2008.

What about you, Major Shakti?

Major Shakti Mandappa, INA batch of 2008.

Okay, so what?

Major Shakti, how long has it been for you at this base?

Six months.

- [Monica] Precise answer, Major. - Six months and four days.

Major?

Six months and four days.

- [Angad] Okay. - Interesting.

Both of them were posted together.

That doesn't change anything.

Nothing yet.

Major Gaurav, where were you posted before here?

Awantipora, Kashmir.

[Monica] Major?

Awantipora, Kashmir.

Major Gaurav, was your transfer to Jodhpur a routine one?

Hmm.

[Monica] Major.

Was your transfer to Jodhpur a routine one?

Or something happened in Kashmir?

Sahil and Anees.

Do you remember anything?

- [Monica] Do you remember anything, Major? - Yes, I remember.

But they did not look like this when we killed them.

They both were terrorists. And I did their encounter.

I was transferred here for my safety after this operation.

[Shakti] Anything else?

If you want to support them,

take off your uniform and resign.

You know what?

When a f**king terrorist at Pulwama...

...kills 40 of my CRPF brothers.

[Shakti] So whether people like you like it or not.

There will be air strikes.

We work for the Army and it is our job to protect the people.

So be it one or 10 terrorists,

I will pick each and every one of them and shoot them.

And for that, I will never apologize to anyone.

- You understand? - Guys!

Let's not forget the protocol. Okay?

You may leave.

[Blows raspberry]

F**k.

Monica, what are you trying to prove?

Seriously. What was that?

What did you have for dinner last night?

What?

Red mutton was over. So ate rice and beans.

What did you eat for lunch?

F**k, I don't remember. Come to the point.

Angad, the point is people don't remember...

...what they ate for lunch and dinner the last day.

But these guys remember everything precisely.

Exact date, exact time.

- Every little detail. - [Angad] Yes, of course.

Of course, they do. Because they know you are going to grill them.

So they are being double sure about it. That's it.

No. there is something amiss.

I know it for a fact.

Something is not right.

I can feel it.

Sir.

You called me?

Sit.

17.

I was 17...

...when I decided to join the Army.

[Suryaveer] Do you know why?

No, sir. Why?

My father was in the Army.

My grandfather too was in the Army.

[Suryaveer] My whole family had just one aim.

That every citizen of the country gets this opportunity.

The freedom to sleep peacefully.

But today,

I think I have failed.

Sir, I do not understand.

They say, every story has three sides to it.

Theirs, yours and the truth. Right?

You are trying to find the truth. Right?

Sir, I am just doing my job.

Right. Of course.

You are doing your job.

What is your job?

To make Army officers feel like criminals?

To continuously point a finger at them.

[Suryaveer] To try to find something which isn't there?

Insult the Army?

If this is your work, then you are doing a great job of it.

I will recommend you for Seva medal.

- Sir. - [Suryaveer] I have not finished.

Do not interrupt me, Major Monica Mehra.

Don't interrupt me.

Major Ajay was martyred.

Nobody can be more pained...

...for his death more than Gayatri and me.

He was going to marry Gayatri. The invites were printed.

It is a personal loss, Monica.

Despite that, I did not shed a single tear.

Not one tear. You know why?

Because when you wear the uniform,

you don't think from the heart but from the head.

From the head.

You lose life in this field.

[Suryaveer] You either kill or you die.

But it is the habit of the country.

To point fingers on all our decisions.

[Suryaveer] Why did you shoot? It was a Human Rights violation.

Why did you not shoot? He was a coward.

These NGO's and civilians.

How much ever we do, it's is never enough. Never.

But you?

You are one of us.

You are an Army officer.

You are wearing the uniform. The same uniform.

But I guess, you too...

...have forgotten what gratitude means.

Theses film stars, these cricketer, politicians.

What they earn in a day,

doesn't equal to what an Army officer earns in a month.

Despite that, they do their jobs...

...with dedication. Why?

Tell me.

For pride.

Honour. Pride.

And when you question that pride,

you are questioning the whole Army.

It is their job to protect the country.

And it is my job to protect them.

Do you understand?

Major Monica Mehra.

I trusted you, Monica.

That you won't let them point a finger on the Army.

But you yourself are pointing a finger at the Army.

Monica, don't let the Army get insulted.

Or you too will be insulted.

There is a very thin line between the truth and an accusation.

Tread carefully.

Dismissed.

[Saluting]

[Lights cigarette]

The number of the mind blowing person...

...that you are trying to reach is unavailable right now.

- Mon. - [Monica] Say I love you five times after the beep.

Monica.

Then why haven't you called me since so long,

Chauhan's rascal daughter.

Sorry. I found your replacement as a friend.

And Chauhan's daughter has grown up.

Hey, what does that mean?

[Gayatri] I am getting married, you idiot.

Shut up.

[Monica] You what?

I swear, I swear.

[Monica] Just a minute.

Are you having a love marriage with some Romeo...

...or is it papa's approved boring arranged marriage.

It is approved by papa.

And he isn't flirting, it is love.

And now it'll be a marriage.

Who the hell is he?

Who could impress both senior and junior Chauhan?

[Gayatri] Actually he is my choice but he is trained under papa.

His name is Ajay and dad loves him.

[Monica] Wow, you have searched the right man.

Did not give a chance to papa to reject.

You are amazing. Oh wait.

[Monica] When is the wedding? How will you do it?

At a fancy destination or under the old canopy.

What about shopping? Shopping.

Please don't be sentimental to wear mother's skirt.

Say no, you won't do it. Absolutely not.

[Gayatri] Okay, chill.

That's why I have called you, idiot.

The wedding is next year. Okay?

You have to attend it.

[Gayatri] At least 3 months before.

[Gayatri] Start preparing. You have to dance at the party.

And give a speech at my wedding.

[Knocks at door]

- Come in. - [Door opens]

[Angad] Monica, can we talk?

Angad, please.

I don't want to talk to anyone right now.

[Monica] Please leave me alone for some time. Please.

Maybe you were right.

If Gaurav and Shakti are innocent,

then they have nothing to worry about.

[Angad] But... If something has genuinely happened with Ajay,

then I am on your side.

Sir, I have got coffee for you.

What is this? Is this cold coffee?

Make it properly.

- Sir. - Make it again.

Sir, I had put a lot of ice.

I will make it again for you.

[Exhales]

[Phone ringing]

- Hello. - [Gaurav] Hello. Shakti.

Are you alright?

[Monica] Here you go.

That's it.

Listen, if we can't find any answers in their present,

we'll have to get into their past.

Where were they born, who were their family members?

Their friends, girlfriends. Everything.

We have to get to the bottom of everything.

For the first time, I am feeling really scared.

Gaurav, you trust me. Right?

Absolutely.

- We already have a lot of details about Gaurav and Shakti. - Right.

We will get more details by night.

[Gaurav] I know, but...

If they come to know by chance. Then?

Angad, the truth is something else.

And we have to find it.

Nobody will ever come to know anything.

You just follow the plan.

And we will be fine.
