Original subtitles

We've reached the informed location.

Control Room, come in.

We've found a body under the bridge.

Looks like someone shot him.

Over.

Officer Sathe, come in.

Officer Sathe, come in.

Officer Sathe, come in.

DCP Rudra's been charged with assault.

After everything that happened between you two last evening...

I want to know what actually happened.

Umm... actually,

it wasn't Rudra's fault.

I attacked him first.

There was a slight...

misunderstanding between us.

He thought he was here to take something that belonged to him.

I thought he was taking something that's mine.

Yeah...

that's all.

Sure?

Yes.

Thank you for being honest.

I know it must've been difficult for you.

Thank you, Rajiv.

It's done.

It's okay.

Nice view.

It'd look the same from a step back.

But you won't know how deep it is.

Rajiv gave his statement.

He didn't press any charges against you.

What do you think?

Was it fear or...

Shaila's love?

If you fall from here,

would you die or survive?

Why would I fall?

What if someone pushes you?

What?

You won't get it from there.

Are you thinking of jumping?

No, flying.

Good.

Then I'm off.

I've been working my ass off for 18 hours.

You should try that.

Going home.

Boss.

This is constable Javed Sheikh.

This is Inspector Kashinath Sathe.

Did you know them, sir?

Hmm...

I'm sorry, sir.

Don't be sorry.

If you see only uniforms, you'll be blinded by rage.

Just focus on the crime scene and tell me what you see.

There are two shots on Javed's chest.

Just three inches apart.

Good shooting.

The blood is real,

but it looks staged.

Can't be the killer's.

It's a planned execution.

But how did the killer know that Javed and Sathe would turn up?

I mean, it could've been anyone.

Targets weren't planned,

murders were.

Show me.

-Yes, sir. Sorry, sir. -Sir.

Gryffin Overpass connects Kalam Lane and Cruz Lane,

from here to here.

See this.

Nearly 10 minutes after the shooting, this man

can be seen half a kilometre away from Kalam Lane's exit.

And later he enters a settlement,

which is connected to a park,

and then disappears.

Any other footage?

No, sir. Actually, even this was too hard to find.

We checked all the nearby shops and traffic signals,

but couldn't find anything useful.

In fact, a few CCTVs were recently reported stolen.

When?

There are reports of four CCTVs being stolen on Monday night.

So, our murderer also steals government property.

Hardworking guy.

But he wouldn't have done all this hard work by sitting at home, right?

Get the footage from the last seven days.

And play that 100 call for me.

Mumbai Police Control Room, go ahead.

There's been a shooting here,

under Griffin Road overpass.

Okay, please tell me your location.

No emotion, only information and out.

Footage.

He left the crime scene so casually.

If he was scared, his shoulders would've been drooped.

If it was revenge, he would've walked out with pride.

He's taken lives before.

Seems trained.

He's from the armed forces.

100 percent.

Armed forces?

How can you conclude that with such little footage?

Father was in the armed forces.

They practise uniformity in every aspect,

not just their clothes.

Find all cases where soldiers are involved.

On it, sir.

Are you looking for the dog's ashes or your soul?

"We're equal parts darkness

"You and I

"And equal parts light

"Embrace my darkness

"While you lose your way

"For the darkness Must perish eventually

"To make way for sunshine"

Are you at a lit fest?

I thought I should bring someone into the light.

Your friend likes it, but he's not praising me.

Where are you?

There are so many stories about your darkness.

But, unfortunately,

no one to tell them.

What are you doing there?

Investigating you.

Trying to find out how...

you save people.

Now you know?

That's how I save people.

Does anyone believe you?

The ones who matter do.

You know what I think?

Honestly, no.

I think you finally...

found yourself...

in that darkness

and let Mandar fall.

And now you're scared that Shaila will find out the truth.

How did you like my deduction?

Aliyah,

I know all this is a game for you,

but you need to stop.

Just stop!

Found anything?

No, sir.

Nothing yet.

Check old records.

Court-martials, voluntary retirements, war veterans.

Put as many people on it as you need.

On it, sir.

Colonel Yashwant Nikose.

Decorated, ex-armed forces.

Two years ago, he killed a police officer,

trying to resist arrest.

Nikose was drinking at a bar,

and got into a fight with someone.

When the complaint came in,

Rawal was the first responder.

Rawal tried to calm him down.

Nikose attacked him with a glass bottle.

Rawal dead

on the spot.

And he can't be your suspect,

because he's in jail serving a life term.

But his son is outside.

Ashok Nikose.

He was in his father's ex-unit.

He got an administrative discharge last year.

His whereabouts?

He's got a house in Pune.

His wife divorced him two months ago.

And no one's seen him since,

until last night.

Half a kilometre from Javed and Sathe's body.

Does he have any connection with Javed and Sathe?

No.

He didn't shoot Javed and Sathe,

but their uniforms.

His enmity is not with us,

but with our uniforms.

Last night, two Mumbai Police officers were found dead

under Gryffin Road overpass.

Someone calls 100 for help.

And when the police arrive on the spot to help,

someone targets them.

The police believe he's not some ordinary killer.

But the police hasn't disclosed the killer's motives yet.

Constable, what's your location?

I think someone's playing a prank.

There's no one here.

My shift has ended. I'm going home.

Over.

Hello.

Where?

Boss! One more.

Female constable, near Kala Ghoda.

-Sir. -What happened?

Sir, a gun was fired here.

And killer?

Sir, that way.

He got close to Officer Sangeeta and took the shot.

Point blank.

Yes, sir. In the stomach.

Last night,

he got four perfect targets,

and today point-blank miss.

Correct, sir.

We're missing something.

It's a trap!

Down, down! Everybody down!

One more traumatic event for Mumbai.

Another planned attack this morning.

This is the second attack on Mumbai Police,

and yet the police has no identification of the attacker.

An unidentified shooter shot six police officers dead

and seriously injured three officers.

The protectors of our city are unsafe themselves.

This is Monisha Sharma reporting for Rapid Live News

with cameraman Uday.

Are you okay?

Listen up, everyone.

After what's happening in the city,

it's difficult for us to stay calm.

Some bastard is targeting our colleagues secretly.

He wants us to lose.

He wants the entire police department to be afraid of him.

But we can't be afraid...

because if Mumbai Police gets scared,

the entire nation will be scared and we can't let that happen.

Are you sad?

Are you furious?

My blood's boiling!

And if your blood's boiling too,

then go and drag him back here.

Remember he's targeting the police uniform.

Go all out and get that bastard dead or alive.

My name is Captain Ashok Nikose.

Ex-Strike Force 46.

Commando unit, Armed Forces.

This is my father,

Colonel Yashwant Nikose.

He has served in the Strike Force 46,

Commando unit, Armed Forces.

He was awarded the Seva medal for his bravery

in the Galgipur terror attack.

He was shot twice by terrorists.

One on the shoulder and another in the leg,

yet he kept fighting for the country.

And what did he get in return?

Life imprisonment.

For a crime that should've never happened.

Colonel Nikose was defending himself from a violent arrest.

Now he's in jail on murder charges.

Neither did he get justice then, nor is he getting justice now.

These cops will keep dying.

I will keep killing them,

until Colonel Nikose doesn't get justice.

Jai Hind, Jai Bharat!

How many views?

88K.

Fear gets viral first.

And now he's going to be on every channel.

Their views are in billions.

The Commissioner will be calling soon.

He didn't say anything about himself.

His life is totally destroyed.

Mental issues.

He was discharged from the army;

his wife left him.

Only his father's achievements, his father's rank...

His father's justice.

Which means we'll get all answers from his father.

Which jail is he in?

Martin Road Jail, ma'am.

Find out when Nikose Jr. meet his daddy last.

On it, sir.

Hello.

Who is making the police pay for their crimes lately?

Any clues?

Since when do you care about others?

Are you sad?

It must be like losing family.

The deceased were my colleagues.

-Good officers, not-- -What?

Not criminals?

Everyone values human life differently.

Maybe for him the life of cops comes cheap,

just like Mandar's life was for you.

Aliyah, what do you want?

What did you do to Mandar?

My answer isn't what you want to hear.

Fine then.

I'll ask someone who knows your limits.

Rudra,

are you brewing another drama?

Shai,

can you leave town for a few days?

Why?

What's the problem?

Because you're not safe.

Safe?

Safe from what?

Whom?

Aliyah Choksi.

Rewind.

Sir, we got the footage from jail.

Their last meeting was two weeks ago.

No sound.

Look at his body language.

No hugs, handshakes,

no smiles.

Daddy's words are making him nervous.

No eye contact either.

When did Yashwant Nikose file his last appeal?

One month ago. It got rejected.

Look closely.

It's not a father talking to his son.

An officer is giving orders to his junior.

He wants to control you.

It's as simple as that.

First, he'll scare you, then save you.

Then he'll slam the door and come inside the house.

Do you like this macho bullshit?

Rajiv, you're acting like a child.

And you're believing him, which makes you no different.

He's received a threat.

He's not lying.

Shaila, all that man's got are lies.

Okay?

I'll tell you what, call his boss.

If the threat is real, she would know.

Go ahead, call her.

Finally, the countrymen remembered me.

The country never forgets

patriots and bastards.

Mind your language, officer!

It's you who should've done that.

You're using your son.

And poor Ashok

is trying to find God in his father.

We've only got 10 minutes. Quick.

I can understand his feelings.

Even my father was in the forces.

He must have screwed you.

He did.

He wanted me to join the forces as well.

And you became an ordinary cop.

If everyone fights at the borders,

then who will save the people from bastards like you?

Could you?

Prabal.

I'll go back to the SCU and track the number,

you inform Rudra.

Yes, sir.

What you're making him do

will only get him a bullet in return.

Sooner

or later.

No one can catch him.

Every fool thinks he's a genius.

Until he meets his father.

What do you want from me?

Be a good father,

not a good officer.

Record a message

and withdraw your orders.

I could do that.

But?

This life imprisonment

is pretty long.

If it can be reduced...

You got what you deserved.

The police force will get what it deserves.

Threat.

So be it.

But decide quickly

because targets are increasing every day.

Agree to my terms.

Only five years of imprisonment,

including time served.

Ashok Nikose never disobeys my orders.

When you think I'm making sense,

then you can get a camera.

Boss,

we've traced his signal.

-Moving or static? -Static.

He's been in one place for a long time.

Superb.

Yeah, we'll need additional tactical support.

We've found Ashok Nikose's possible location.

Yes.

Ma'am, media.

Sir, we found a SIM card.

Its contact list had only one number saved.

The location's been traced.

Near Cotton Green area.

Old mill area.

It's a perfect hideout.

He'd rather die than being caught alive.

All units on alert.

Tactical unit on location.

Tactical unit on location.

This is Mumbai Police.

Throw down your weapon and come out.

Just one number?

One son, one number.

He could've memorised one number.

Why did he have to save it?

Faster.

Abort! Abort!

Get out, everybody!

Get out...

Tactical unit officers severely injured.

Tactical unit officers severely injured.

Send medics immediately.

Send medics immediately.

How many commandoes?

Nine confirmed, 6 injured.

And Ashok?

We're looking for him, sir.

Helicopters, ground unit, door-to-door.

But nothing yet.

You won't find him there now.

It was a remote-detonated bomb.

It exploded when the unit got close.

Which means he had his eyes on the location.

He couldn't have been more than 500 metres away.

Why couldn't we find him?

It's all right.

It's not your fault.

His father wanted us to find the SIM.

He threw a bait, and I took it.

Rudra, I think

we should call Nikose's wife.

I feel it'll surely get us somewhere.

Prabal, do one thing. You...

Where are you going?

What is this?

Sathe's walkie.

So?

This is not Sathe's walkie.

Same design, different model.

Show me.

Ashok exchanged Sathe's walkie on the night of his murder.

He's been using the entire department as his informer.

You're back, officer.

How many did you lose?

Is he completing his target or not?

We won't arrest him like you.

We'll shoot him.

I'll be martyr Ashok's father.

Do you want to hit me?

I do.

Then hit me.

I won't mind.

I'll forgive you.

But I won't forgive.

Okay, tell me something...

Tomorrow morning, when you open your door

and you see Ashok,

where will the first bang come from?

Forget about tomorrow.

You'll hear the bang right now.

Open it.

Scared?

I couldn't either.

But then I was told that

none of the kids' age

is more than 9 years.

Bastard! You're trying to frame me?

Heard the bang now?

Yashwant Nikose,

soldier of the nation.

You get a lot of respect in jail, don't you?

But now...

Now what?

Your plan is completely hollow.

It doesn't make sense.

Everyone knows your cell was searched.

But no one knows

what was found there.

Here's my suggestion.

I'll leave my belt behind.

Hang yourself.

At least you'll save your reputation.

No one will believe you.

I thought so too.

But then I thought...

Ashok was once a kid too, right?

What must have his father done to him

that he's so under his control.

Shut up!

This is a one-time offer,

Otherwise, this jail will become your hell.

Paedophile.

This is Aditi Pratap reporting for News Act.

Ashok Nikose, the 100 killer

who has killed 15 police officers so far

and seriously injured more than 12 officers,

who's targeting our protectors one by one.

We're going to talk about this killer

with DCP Rudraveer Singh of the Special Crimes Unit.

DCP Rudraveer Singh,

what can you tell us about Ashok Nikose?

Ashok Nikose is crazy and cynical.

I met his doctor and ex-commanding officer.

They both said he's mentally ill.

In reality, forget Nikose being a soldier in the armed forces,

he's not even worthy of picking up their garbage.

Boss, where's the remote?

Here.

What happened?

The stress from mental illness, getting thrown out of the army

gave him

-severe sexual problems. -What the fuck this?

Even his wife left him.

He wants to prove his manhood.

Everything he said on the video is a lie.

He's a sexually frustrated man.

He is lying.

I have read Nikose's file.

How can you be so sure?

His father is in jail.

I met him recently.

He's got no clue what his son's up to.

He accepts his punishment.

He doesn't want justice.

What do you think?

-How soon will you be able to catch him? -What the hell is he doing?

Soon.

His father is helping us.

He's making himself the target.

Ashok,

don't worry.

Your illness can be cured.

See you soon.

Excuse me.

Hi.

Who the hell are you?

Aliyah Choksi.

We've met before.

And you must be Rajiv.

Wine?

Listen,

I don't care who you are, but...

just get out of the house or I'll call the police.

Go ahead.

But the police themselves are hiding

in their station.

Who do you think will show up?

Rudra?

You think I'm joking.

What do you want?

The answer to my question.

Why does he do it?

His job.

What does he gain from it?

Rudra believes that

we all get one life.

And anyone who snatches it away

cannot be forgiven.

It must be very difficult for you

to deal with someone like that.

He wasn't blind.

He knew the price of it.

Your marriage.

It's none of your bloody business. Shaila why--

Yes.

Rudra understands love...

but not relationships.

Yes...

But you don't want to live with him anymore.

Why?

Because he killed Mandar Naik?

Do you know what he did?

He was a bloody monster.

If anyone got his hands on him--

Yes, but it was Rudra who got to him first.

Because those who hide in the dark,

meet Rudra there, isn't it?

I found the answer to my question.

Thank you.

Good night.

DCP Rudra to control room.

DCP Rudra to control room. Over.

This is SCU Control unit.

This is SCU Control unit.

DCP Rudra, come in. Over.

I'm heading towards Kings Estate in Colaba.

Over.

Be specific DCP Rudra, over.

Yashwant's friend used to have a flat out there.

Ashok has spent a lot of time there in his childhood.

I'm sure he must've been here.

We might find some lead on him.

Over.

You won't go to Kings Estate without backup DCP Rudra, over.

Negative.

I'm almost there.

Over.

Tactical support immediately.

Status?

-15 minutes. -That's too late.

I know.

Rudra wanted Ashok Nikose to hear only his voice;

that's why he gave me this walkie

so that he could inform me and I could alert the police force.

Bloody idiot.

He's on a suicide mission.

Rudraveer Singh,

do you have a death wish?

How does it matter?

Then why are you here?

I totally screwed your father in jail.

With tears in his eyes, he told me

that he used to do the same with you.

And he told me your whereabouts.

He can never rat me out.

Then how did I get here?

You used to wet your bed in your childhood,

and your father used to skin you alive for it.

The more he beat you

the more you peed.

He wants you to die

so his dark past doesn't come out.

Shut up!

Shut up!

You continued to wet your bed after returning from your posting.

He laughed at you.

Shut up!

Do you want to die for that monster, Ashok?

You want to die for him?

What should I do?

Come with me.

He got life sentence for one murder.

What about me?

You're not your father, Ashok.

No, don't move!

Yes,

I'm not my father.

What are you doing, Ashok?

Have you ever been betrayed?

Only two rounds left.

It's either you

or me.

Everyone gets betrayed, Ashok.

But you don't punish the world for it.

Ashok Nikose.

14 officers murdered,

22 seriously injured.

One lifetime is not enough for your punishment.

Look,

we know that

your father is behind all this,

not you.

Testify against your father,

and we'll reduce your sentence.

He's not worthy of your loyalty, Ashok.

My name is

Ashok Nikose...

Captain.

Strike unit

46,

17841.

He

was never worthy

of your loyalty.

My name is Ashok Nikose...

Captain.

Strike unit 46,

17841.

My name is Ashok Nikose...

Captain.

Strike 46,

17841.

I feel like killing you.

Like Mandar.

I liked her though.

Shaila.

She's strong,

dignified.

She still loves you.

How does it matter?

We're not together anymore.

She knows what you did.

As in?

She always knew...

about Mandar.

It didn't make a difference.

I don't understand you.

Why are you doing all this?

Because we are friends,

and I want you to feel better.

We're anything

but friends.

Coffee?

Tea.

Drop of milk, no sugar.

You remember.

But remember this.

Having a cup of tea together doesn't make us friends.

Suit yourself.

Come on.
