Asur: Welcome to Your Dark Side (2020–…): Season 1, Episode 7 - Let there be darkness - full transcript

'Back in time, three great Asura's
(demons) through penance'

'and with their knowledge,
created three cities'

'which couldn't be
destroyed separately.'

'Gods who were jealous
of their creation'

'went to Lord Vishnu.'

'As long as Asura's were
following the religious texts,'

'it was impossible
to defeat them.'

'Lord Vishnu deceitfully
persuaded them to commit sins.'

'And Lord Shiva destroyed
three cities with one arrow.'

'Seeing the Asuras
suffer before dying'

'Lord Shiva
realised His mistake.'



'The tear from his eyes
turned into a seed.'

'It was known as Rudraksha.'

'Whose story is this
according to you?'

'Of justice, gallantry,'

'remorse,'

'or betrayal?'

'Are we playing Vikram and Vetala?'

'Whether you are Vikram or
not, depends on your answer.'

'This is just a story for me.'

'Some will see the
greatness of gods.'

'While some will feel the
suffering of Asuras.'

'You definitely are not Vikram.'

'I don't know whether
you're Vetala.'

'But you narrate a story well.'



'I am not Vetala.'

'Because he can be controlled.'

'I understand your emotions.'

'The system has let you
down, and I am'

'really sorry for it.'

'It is Dhananjay Rajpoot's fault.'

'Why are you apologizing?'

'I completed his veneration.'

'And he rewarded me by
sending me here instead.'

'If you apologize
for your mistake'

'then I can still
try to put you'

'in Juvenile Detention Center.'

'I don't want to
disrespect myself'

'by apologizing.'

'You are still young.'

'Don't ruin your life.'

'This is not called
ruining one's life.'

'This is called moulding
and accepting oneself.'

'Shubh.'

'You are still young.'

'You will understand
when you grow up.'

'Nikhil Nair,'

'you are a good person.'

'You haven't answered my question.'

'Whose story this is
depends on point of view.'

'No. That is not true.'

'Do you know why this story
is not that of justice?'

'Because justice is
given to the victim.'

'It'd had been
that of gallantry'

'if there was no deceit involved.'

'And regret when'

'when instead of tears,'

'one experiences an epiphany.'

'Whose story is this?'

'Of harassment.'

'When you are out of prison'

'I hope to see
you do something great.'

'You definitely will.'

'We will meet soon.'

'Let's head to
Mumbai from where'

'we are getting
a major news from.'

'Well known young
businessman of the country'

'Aditya Jalan has been murdered.'

'Aditya's engagement party was on
when this incident took place.'

'Police is unable to find the
reason behind the murder.'

'But can this be linked
with the serial killing'

taking place in the country?'

Tight security.

A lot of planning.

Despite of breaking
so many protocols

we couldn't save one man.

What will I answer to
the media and ministry?

How am I going to explain this?

What the *** are you looking at?

Get to work!

'Congratulations,
your planned worked.'

'You mean, your plan worked.'
- 'I am impressed.'

'You have completed your task with
so much hard work and devotion.'

You're taking advantage
of my helplessness.

'This is not helplessness,
it's nature.'

'Because you are just
like me, Nikhil.'

Come on, DJ.
Get me the *** out of here.

What did you find out from
the wine glasses report?

Wine glass was clean.

No chemical or toxic
residues found.

So, definitely there was
something in the wine itself.

From prima facie,
it clearly looks like poisoning.

His lips, nails

are blue.

Let's cut him open.

Stomach lining shows

acidic damage.

Which toxin was
in the wine glass?

Sir, we found traces of
neurotoxic zootoxins.

Which looks
- Neurotoxin.

It has to be snake poisoning.

Sir, neurotoxins are found in
three snake varieties in India.

The king snake, cobra and krait.

But their venom don't
function so soon.

He lost his life too quickly.

There's one more, black mamba.

It's venom affects in no time.

Sir, but black mamba is not
available easily in India.

And why will anyone mix
its poison in wine?

Its poison functions when it mixes
directly in the blood stream.

What about the other two
who had wine. They are fine.

Pass the magnifying glass.

Nicely done, Nikhil.
- Sir?

And the answer is as simple

as an ulcer.

Aditya had ulcer problem.

That is why the poison

entered thorough

his stomach's damaged inner
lining and mixed with his blood.

And this is the reason why

the other two

are fine.

One more thing, sir.

Snake venom was enough
to kill Aditya.

But there are traces of two more
elements ion his blood stream

which are non-toxic.

Those two elements

were not for Aditya.

It was for us.

As a message.

Nikhil is sending us a message.

Kurukshetra.

In Mahabharata, this
was Arjuna's dilemma.

Krishna explained to him

that dying and killing
are both destined.

So you are Krishna now.

I thought I was your charioteer.

You will get a gift to
pass in examination.

How did you come so
soon from Mumbai?

Here, there and everywhere!

I am omnipresent.

I will see you soon.

'Here, there and everywhere!'

'I am'

'omnipresent.'

'I will see you soon.'

'I will see you soon.'

'I will see you soon.'

'I will see you soon.'

'Even in our Upanishadas'

'Gods, humans and devils'

'were all after the elixir.'

'Even today,
this is what we want.'

'No matter if we exist or not'

'our story should stay alive.'
- Sir

'Unfortunately our legacies have

'become more important
than our lives.' - Sir!

Hey, Lolark.

So, did the winter of
Varanasi spare you?

Almost.

Sir, this is Shubh's astral chart.
- Yes.

This is Shubh's diary which
was given by his grandpa.

There's a lot of
information in it.

The best of all,
the sweets from Varanasi.

I don't need it but thank you.

Sir, what were you listening
to with such concentration?

Just listen.

'That's why you will
notice in our stories too.'

'Man runs behind elixir.'

'Gods drank elixir to
remain immortal.'

'The elixir that they
acquired through cheating.'

Kesar Bharadwaj.

I'm listening to his podcast.

He is a pretty interesting man.

He combines spirituality
with practicality

and recites it in
a simple manner.

Sir.

You were never an
enthusiast of preaching.

Actually, I'm not.

But this man is different.

He has told us about the
connection between the victims.

Oh! That's great.

What a coincidence!

I was thinking about you.

'Did I not tell you we
are all connected?' - Yes.

We are all connected. Right.

Kesar, I needed your help.

Can you come to my office?

'We have prepared a list'

'of almost 600 Sagittarians.'

'This killer isn't
killing people in random.'

'He is killing them precisely.'

'He is killing such people'

'who are good and achievers.'

'I don't understand'

'why he is killing the good ones.'

I wish I could help you but

criminal psychology
is not my specialty.

But when I think more about it

it's extremely weird to see

nice people being
killed like that.

Doesn't make sense.

Sir, intro.

Lolark Dubey,
he is our investigating officer.

Hello, sir.
- Hi!

DJ sir is a big fan of yours.

I think if I listen to your
podcast I will be your fan too.

I even asked for the recordings of
your jail speeches from the warden.

He promised that he
will give me soon.

Lolark! We were discussing
something important.

Of course, sir!
Work comes first.

Yes. You were saying something.

Did you ever hear
about 'Ashta Siddhi'?

'Ashta Siddhi' has been mentioned
a lot in the scriptures.

'Anima' comes before that.

The ability to convert ourselves
smaller than a particle.

'Garima', which is the ability

to make oneself infinitely heavy.

Then comes 'Lagima', which
makes you absolutely weightless.

'Prapti' which allows
to reach anywhere.

'Prakamya' which allows
to learn one's mind.

Then comes, 'Ishatwa'.

Which makes one a God in
association with nature.

Then comes, 'Vashitwa'.

It allows to take
control over anyone.

Let's interpret it
in today's context.

For example. See!

Aditya Jalan.

He is young, dynamic and
successful entrepreneur.

His decisions create an
impact on the society.

I mean, if he raises a production
plant worth 20 billions,

it changes a lot of lives.

So we can put him under
the category of 'Garima'.

Yes, like.

Dr Abhilasha.

She was researching
on brain mapping.

Reading thoughts of people.

'Prakamya Siddhi', right?

Exactly!

Is 'Ashta Siddhi'
connected to

any God or Demon in mythology?

It is believed
that Hanuman and

Lord Ganesha had
acquired 'Ashta Siddhi'.

Kalki, who is coming in the future,

would also possess 'Ashta Siddhi'.

The tenth incarnation
of Lord Vishnu.

Exactly.

The tenth version
of Lord Vishnu.

You are right.

You know,
whenever the Gods and sages

came across a
problem in mythology,

they used to go to Vishnu.

Vishnu used to reincarnate

in order to protect them.

I think this killer
somehow considers

himself a mythological demon.

By killing these achievers,

who are the representatives
of goodness,

he is trying to
message Vishnu directly

and challenging
him to reincarnate.

Sir, this is possible!

The astral chart brought by

Lolark sir matches with Kali.
Kali,

is the one who is going to be
killed by Kalki in this age.

This guy is delusional!

Perhaps he thinks he is Kali.

'Kali Yuga.'

Which means 'Doom's Age'.

Kalki will be born when

sins and injustice
will be at its peak.

He is challenging Kalki to be born.

If this is true,

then we are very close
to cracking the case.

Come on, guys. Let's get to work.

What's the time?

It's four.

Kesar.

Thank you very much.
- I really hope you crack the case.

We will.

'Nusrat.'

'I'm really sorry, Nusrat.'

'It took you ten years
to say this, Nikhil.'

'I wanted to say it
to you long ago.'

'But...'
- 'I've forgiven you.'

'A long time back.'

'Trust me, Nusrat.'

'That time,
I didn't have a choice.'

'I had to go.'
- 'Without saying goodbye?'

'I didn't even know'

'that you aren't going
for a weekend.'

'But forever.'

'I was waiting for you, Nikhil.'

'I'm still waiting.'

'Nusrat.'

'Nain?' - 'Nikhil,
do you know how painful it is'

'when someone is near to you'

'but not with you?'

'Nain, you and Riya...'

'Both of you are my world.'

'You don't know what I have...'

'I have been killing
people for you, Nain.'

'Nikhil, I never wanted
you to kill for me.'

'All I ever wanted was you.'

'You. Your support.'

'But you can never be
completely with someone.'

'You are always lost in yourself.'

'I know you hate me, Nusrat.'

'I wish.'

'Nikhil, I wish I could hate you.'

'Do you love me, Nikhil?'

'I did, Nusrat.'

'Do you love me, Nikhil?'

'I do.'

'Nikhil.'

'I know you love me.'

'That's why I could
never hate you.'

Shall we start the next plan?
You have started enjoying it.

I have one condition.
- What?

I want to speak to Naina.
I need to know she is okay.

Listen. I don't know where am I.
What will I tell her?

I just want her to
know that I'm okay.

Or else,
my head would stop working.

Come on. Just one phone call.

Okay. One call.

'See!'

'I thought we got all the names.'

Sir, we aren't Google.

Database is too heavy
for our servers' power.

It's just taking its time.

Can we shut down

N.I.C server?
Let's shut it down.

It won't be able to search.
We'll get time.

Can we do that? - Sir, we can't
do this without permission.

If we'll get caught,
we'll be put in jail, sir.

Lolark, I'm already in jail. You
think they can make me suffer more?

We must shut down the server.

I think,
this is the only option we have.

'According to ancient
Chinese philosophy,'

'Yin and Yang are
opposites of each other.'

'Like, truth and lie,'

'men-women, 'Linga-Yoni',
duality-polarity.'

Sir, what are we searching for?
- 'Polarity, darkness and light.'

Dialect.

Use of underlying native language.

Grammar, punctuations,

word choices.

Sir, it was good to hear, but

I didn't understand anything.

Listen. Kesar

preaches on stage

without following any material.

When we listen to him

his punctuations

are observed when he breathes.

But if you observe podcast,

you realize that the punctuations

follow grammar.

His word selection

is different in both the cases.

The words on the podcast

represent distorted reality

without self-confidence.

Like, because, this is why,

similarly. The intellectual
state of both the speeches

doesn't match, too.

In his speech,
Kesar uses words like

religion,

anger, betrayal.

Whereas in podcast,

he uses words like righteousness,

exasperation, deceit.

His speed of speech
- Yes.

Kesar's speed

is approximately

2500 words in 20 minutes.

Whereas the person
on the podcast

has a speed between

3,000 to 3,100 words. An ordinary

person can't do this.

It means, it is clear that they are
two different individuals, sir.

Seems so.

Sir, now the question is

why is the second person

hiding his identity?

Seriously?

Is this your theory?

That he kills good people?

Shashank, what about you?

Is your department going to be

run by prisoners?

Sir, we have identified our next

two victims.

This proves that our theory
is absolutely correct.

Sir, in the list of these
600 people, two people

called Radhika Venkatesh
and Neeraj Jadhav

could be the next victims.

I know both of them.

They are Leftists.

They are always
after the government.

If

both of them suffer any harm,

the media...

Shashank, do one thing.

Increase security
cover for both of them.

But I can't permit you
to shut down the server.

Entire nation is dependent
on this database.

If the server is shut down,

an inquiry will be commissioned.

And everyone would
know that two people

hacked into the server. If

media finds out... - Sir, do you
remember the blast at Lajpat Nagar?

Excuse me. - Do you remember
the bomb blast at Lajpat Nagar?

When you were gathering
votes in front of the media,

I was gathering the
body parts of the victims.

Because of a few like you.
many people lose their lives.

But it's we who gather
their dead bodies.

Sir, I told you it's
a waste of *** time.

Let's go, sir.

Riya, have your breakfast.

Come on.

Riya.
- Yeah!

Hello.
- 'Naina.'

Nikhil!

'Nikhil, where are you?'

'Are you okay?'
- I'm fine.

I just wanted to
hear your voice.

'Oh God! Nikhil, are you okay?'

I'm okay.

But where are you, Nikhil?
Tell me something.

I don't know.

'What can I do, Naina?'

It's in my nature to stay lost.

To be lost?

Nikhil,
what are you talking about?

Are you...
- Whenever I shut my eyes,

I can feel

you and Riya.

Close to me.

Naina, remember you and I

were once sitting on a pier?

You were crying and

kept repeating the same thing that

my mind is at two
places at any give time.

A part here and the other there.

Nikhil, I'm very scared.

Don't be scared, Naina.

I'm here

but my shadow is with you.

It's very close to you.

Hello.
- Hello.

Hello.

Still there are many names which

we haven't addressed yet.

We should check them.

What's the status?

We have called everyone on
the new list and warned them.

Show me the killer's sketch.

What's this?

It took you so long to do this?

Am I the only one working here?

What are you all here for?

Fools!

God!

I'm sorry, Nusrat. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, everybody.

I'm just...

I'm just *** fed up

of this bureaucracy.

They are fools!

Listen.

Put it in the criminal database.

Maybe we will get a match.

I have done that already, sir.
- Good.

Lab report?

We have found traces

of iridium and nickel
in Aditya's blood.

I find this very strange, sir.

Zootoxins were more than
enough to kill him, so

what's the need for
the extra elements?

The killer didn't do this.

It's Nikhil who did it.

And there's much

Hi.

I received a call from Nikhil.

I recorded it.

'But what can I do, Naina?'

'It's in my nature to stay lost.'

'Naina, remember you and I'

'were once sitting on a pier?'

'You were crying and'

'kept repeating
the same thing that'

'my mind is at two
places at any give time.'

'A part here and the other there.'

I have never heard
Nikhil talk like this.

He just kept saying

that he's divided into two and
his mind is at two places at once.

And the river bank...

We have never been to a river bank.

Maybe the killer
is drugging Nikhil.

You are right.

Nikhil never talks like this.

River bank.

Varanasi.

Varanasi?

Yes. Shubh Joshi.

I suspected that.

That's why I sent Lolark

to Varanasi to investigate.

10 years ago

Shubh killed his father
by poisoning him.

I sent him to jail for this crime.

It could be revenge.

He was saying that
he's divided into two.

He's at two places.

What does he mean?

That means,
the killer is not alone.

There's someone else with him.

28.5869 North.

77.1922 East.

Check these coordinates.

Sir, these coordinates
belong to Delhi.

It's not very accurate but

it shows a radius of 30 kms

from Modi Bagh to Ghevra.

What did Nikhil say?

That he never left from there.

That he was never far
away from you both.

Darn! He's a genius!

Basic chemistry.

Nickel's

atomic number is 28.

Its atomic weight is 58.693.

If you add them,
you will get the coordinates.

Same thing with iridium.

Nikhil is in Delhi.

He's here! And we are ***

We kept searching for
him around the world.

Lolark.
- Yes, sir.

Inform the local police.

And check all the vacant buildings

from Modi Bagh to Ghevra.

Don't leave even one.
- Sure, sir. - Okay.

Nusrat and Samarth.
- Yeah.

Use all your resources.

Find out where Shubh is.

Find him no matter what.
- Yes. - Right.

Sir, I wanted to speak to you
urgently about something.

Sure. Yeah.

Why did you doubt Kesar?

Sir, I was involved in
a case a few years ago.

The woman had fooled her husband by
talking in his girlfriend's voice.

From then onward,

I have formed
the habit of listening

to what and how something
is said by someone.

But sir, the question is

why Kesar is lying.

The question is not
why he is lying.

The question is whose voice is it

on that podcast?

Who is using Kesar as his mask?

Do me a favor.
- Yes, sir.

Ask Ankit to bring Kesar to me.

I'll speak to him.
- Okay, sir.

Nikhil is in Delhi.

Yes.

And I shall search him out.

I promise you.

We need your help once more.

We want to know

whose voice it is
on the podcast.

It's a very important
clue in this case.

Will you be able
to trace it out?

I'll do it.

The name of that rabbit was Elsa.

Right? Just a minute.

Hello.
- Hi, Swati. I need some help.

Please look after Riya
for some more time.

Oh! No problem at all.

I'm narrating stories to Riya.

Yes. Take your time.

'Darkness is a fact.'

'And light is a myth.'

'Every man is a moon and
every moon has a dark side.'

'There's a dark side
to you as well.'

'It is present although
no one can see it.'

'Your hidden desires'

'anger and your dreams
all form a part of your dark side.'

'It consists of
everything including'

'your pleasures
and your happiness.'

'Incorrect theories
and the false light of morality'

'have managed to hide
your true personality.'

'If you can reject these fallacies
and accept yourself,'

'then you are a sinner.'

'Sin is an imaginary sickness which
was invented so that people'

'could sell others
its imaginary cure'

'which they call good deeds.'

'Religion can never bring
peace to this world'

'as its foundation is based on the
conflict between good and evil.'

'We shall bring'

'the dawn of a new era'

'when days will be
as dark as night.'

'One day the sun will die'

'and a dark moon
will rise in the sky.'

'There will be darkness'

'all around.'

'The darkness will be'

'serene and spotless.'

'And on that day,
all of us will accept'

'our true nature
and the darkness that it has.'

'And then,'

'there will be peace.'

'Eternal peace.'

I want

the poorest of the poor
to come up in life.

'What can I do if the truth has
become so bitter nowadays?'

All I want is to do my job
with honesty. That's it.

DJ.

You should see this.

The killer is looking
for his next target.

How do you know that?

I'd added a bot to the system.

If anyone searches the database
using the same parameters,

we will get this notification.

Naina.
- Yes.

I need your help.

My request might come
across as a little strange,

but it is important
and you can do it.

What do you mean?

'Check all the old buildings
and the half demolished ones.'

'Check any person or place
that you find suspicious.'

'It's urgent. High priority.'

Okay, sir!

DJ, this is suicidal.

I can't help you with this.

Naina, Radhika is one
of the top most journalists.

Should something happen to her,

a debate on ideology would
unnecessarily get created.

And then, the case will suffer.

DJ.

How are you so sure?

Even if I add your name
to this database

called 'Dhanishta Nakshatra',

or whatever it is called,
how can you be sure

that the killer will spare
Radhika and come after you?

I'm not.

But we need to try.

You're saying that we
should get him to try to kill you!

DJ, the fact that
you're requesting me

to do this, makes you suicidal.

Naina.

I am unable to get to the killer.

At least, I can lure him to me.

Maybe this move is a suicidal one.

I was the one who
had started this.

So, I'm the one
who needs to end it.

Do you realize

that your murder will
be planned by Nikhil?

Can you imagine
what this will do to him?

Sometimes I wonder that even if he

comes back to me alive,

would he be the same person?

We would have lost him
a long time back, DJ.

Naina, there hasn't been
a single such night

when I haven't
cried myself to sleep.

I can only see two faces

whenever I close my eyes.

One of them is Sandhya

when she was crying in front of me.

And the second is that of her body

after her autopsy
when I couldn't identify her.

I won't let what happened

to Sandhya happen
to anyone else.

I need your help.
