Avrodh the Siege Within (2020–…): Season 2, Episode 2 - We meet again - full transcript

Parveena, Waziri's ground agent in India, sets out to convince the separatist groups in India to attack the country on 6 December. Meanwhile, Pradeep investigates a jeweller in Mumbai, as Imtiaz checks out the Al Zohar ship in Ala...

[Captain] You can go down there.

- [Coastguard] That area?
- Yes, that too.

Check that side.

The search pump.

- From here. Go here.
- Check that, Rajesh.

Yes, sir.

There, there.

[Captain] ‘Oh. Watch out!’

[Man] ‘Careful.’

[winces in pain]

Easy. It's okay.



Come. Yes, yes. It's okay.
Come on.

[Title montage]

What's the matter, Uncle?
Why do you look sad?

You should be happy.

It's our very first
ship breaking contract.

It's our chance now.

Yes, Nabeel. Didn’t I tell you?

Just you watch.

Our life will change
completely now.

All these years, I've been
selling scrap and cheating...

..making a meagre living,
like a beggar.

But now, your uncle
will wear a suit.

And we'll talk in English now.
Like, what the...

What is it? What is it?



- Listen, Nabeel.
- Yes.

Inform Suleiman.

We need to get the work
started soon.

Don't worry, Uncle.
I'll handle everything.

- Listen.
- Yes.

Once the job is done,
we'll go to Goa. Just you and I.

- Goa? That's it?
- Hmmm.

I thought
we would go abroad.

Really?
You want to go to Bangkok, is it?

You're an adult now, is it?

[children playing]

- Didi is here!
- Didi is here!

Yes, whenever you say. Done.

Okay, I can't hear you.

- Sorry. Bye.
- Didi, play with us

Hi! Yes!

Okay, I'll bat. Come on.

Let's go. Underarm only, okay?
Come on, bowl.

- Yeah!
- [children cheer]

One more, come on.

Six runs this time!

- Yes!
- [children cheer]

[phone pings]

Just a minute.

Here, take the bat.
Give me my bag.

[Man] ‘What a shot that was.
Good one.’

‘Okay kids let’s go again.
Come to the centre..’

[children playing in distance]

Hi, Professor. Hope you are well?

Yes, Saman. With your efforts,
our ship has docked safely.

How was your event?

[Parveena] ‘Oh, yes,
it was perfect.’

We've donated 20 wheelchairs
to injured ship-breakers.

Good. I'll keep sending funds
for such events.

[Waziri] ‘Keep the face on.’

Our friends in the ISI
are arranging for you to meet...

..with some separatist groups
in India.

You'll have to leave
at short notice.

I'm ready, Professor.

It's difficult to refuse
fear and money, both.

Use that.

I will.

You take care.

- [Parveena] ‘Good bye.’
- Bye.

[phone ringing]

- Hello.
-[Parveena] ‘Hello.’

Congratulations,
your ship has reached.

[Parveena] ‘Congratulations
to you too.’

Suleiman, I'll be busy
for the next few days.

A big assignment has come up.

You need to take care of the ship.

I won't take my eyes off it,
Parveena Ma’am.

[Parveena] ‘Our entire plan
depends on that ship.’

- And we depend on you.
- Absolutely.

My order for today is 10 kg wafers.

Good bye.

- [Parveena] ‘Goodbye.’
- And 25 kgs of fried noodles.

[Suleiman] ‘Wonderful.’

You’ve finally made it, Zakir.

It's all thanks to you,
Suleiman.

Tell me, when should we start
the work?

Wait for few days.

A few days?
That’s a lot of loss, Suleiman.

Don't worry about the loss, Zakir.

Just do as I say. Okay?

Okay. You're the boss.
We'll do as you say.

[Pradeep] ‘Sir, I’ve got something
for you.’

‘Very interesting.’

This is Keerti Shah.
Kundan Abhushan.

He has a big exportation business.
Specialising in emeralds.

I was lucky, sir.
I had the good fortune of sitting..

...behind him on my flight back.

He's offering 21% discount.

For my imaginary sister's
wedding jewellery.

But sir, every jeweller gets
21% rebate on export.

Exactly. But the question is,
where does this Keerti Shah...

...buy the gold
and emeralds from?

He imports them. And import duty
is 18%.

So, if he is paying the
import duty..

...how does he manage to
give a 21% rebate, right?

Hmm.

Sir...

And the maximum rebate that he can
afford to offer is 3%.

Not more than that.

[Pradeep] ‘Sir, I was checking
his accounts yesterday.’

I have the purchase
and sales account details.

He’s still selling uncut stones
that were purchased four years ago.

Here.

But I remember him saying
that exportation is his main game.

But if he’s running such
a flourishing business...

...these uncut stones would have
been used up long ago.

[Pradeep] ‘Right, sir?’

Well. Just a hunch, but it's also
possible...

...that he's smuggling
these uncut stones.

He neither declares them,
nor pays import duty.

Sir, don't you sleep at all?

Something seems fishy here.
I'll tell you what, Pradeep.

- Send him a notice.
- Right, sir.

Sir.

Thank Lord Ganesha.
Collection is confirmed, sir.

[Satish] ‘The counterfeits
that were caught in Assam...’

Hmm.

What do you make of that?

We're lucky these counterfeits
were caught...

...before they entered the system.

This is a worrisome situation,
Shailesh.

On the one hand, counterfeits
are entering the country...

...and on the other,
our NPAs are increasing.

Who’s been added to the NPAs now?

J&B Finance.

Mandar has sent a mail,
you’re copied on it.

Hmm.

NPAs are like a storm that
can destroy our financial planning.

Shall we?
Let's discuss this later.

This is the information that
we were talking about.

[Imtiaz] This is fantastic.

And this is all
happening in Alang?

- This is all happening in Alang.
- Yes

- And Sir, have a look at this.
- [Imtiaz] ‘I know.’

[Sanjay] ‘This information
is really useful.’

[Amrita] He’s right.

Just one second, I'll be back.

- Okay, sir.
- Okay, sir.

- Jai Hind, Sir.
- Jai Hind.

Sir, international intelligence
has flagged an Al-Qaeda operator.

A Yemeni national. Faraaz Al Zohar.

One of Al Zohar's ships is
coming to Alang to be broken.

I checked Al Zohar's
records.

They haven’t given the
ship-breaking contract...

...to the highest bidder.

In fact, they gave it
to lowest bidder.

- Let’s see.
- Yes, sir.

-[Office boy] ‘May I come in, Sir?’
- [Pradeep] ‘Come in.’

[Sukhdev] ‘Keerti Shah's
notice is ready, sir.’

‘Should I send it?’

Not yet. I'm still
scanning his bank records.

His bank statement
is quite interesting.

Especially foreign exchange
remittances. Look at this, sir.

On the 5th of every month...

...Green Clan Corporation
sends money to Keerti Shah.

Hold on.

Seems like a pattern.
Note it down.

Hmm.

Although, it could also be
a retainer client, sir.

It's possible that at
the beginning of every month...

...Kundan Abhushan exports gems of
the same quantity...

...to Green Clan Corporation.

It's possible,
but look at this.

The exports this month are
higher than usual. 3.5 crores.

So there is a break in
the pattern.

And just a few days after receiving
the money...

...Keerti Shah transferred
all the funds..

..to one Dharamveer Demolition.

And Dharamveer Demolition’s
bank account is in Alang.

Keerti Shah started his
business four years ago.

Back then, he imported...

...gold and emeralds
worth around 24 crores.

In four years, the domestic sales
have been...

Almost 16 crores.

This means, 24 minus 16,
eight crores.

Which matches exactly
with the leftover stock...

...at the beginning
of the previous financial year.

Look.

[Pradeep] ‘So what are
these NRI clients...’

...and Green Clan Corporation
paying Keerti Shah for?

There’s definitely
a scam, sir.

The client is on retainer,
but receiving nothing.

[Sukhdev] ‘Keerti Shah gets paid
every month.’

Okay, let's expose this scam then.

Good to see you,
Stanley.

[Stanley] ‘Hmm.’

There was a time...

... when you were the only
drugs supplier in this area.

You obviously aren’t here
for drugs.

So, let's get to the point.

What do you need in order to
keep your drugs business alive?

You tell me.

Money? Cash? The money
that no bank will give you...

...I can get you.

What do you want in return?

Your militant groups
need to be revived.

It will be difficult.

The army’s activity is
increasing here.

I'm sure you can manage.

And a peaceful, normal protest
can turn violent at any point.

You never know, right?

And when is the money coming?

Without the money,
we will not do anything.

Soon. Very soon.

Come on, Jimmy.

Date, 6th December.
Where? We will let you know.

How? You will plan that.

I'll think about it.

I'm not giving you the time
to think.

I'll take that as a yes.

This... This is
the ship-breaking contract?

[Sanjay] ‘Correct.
I just found it.’

- [Man] ‘Sir.’
- Yes?

Thank you.

Pradeep Bhattacharya,
Income Tax.

Lower it.

I need the details of this.

Just a minute.

Sir, do you need the details
of this transaction alone?

Have there been more
transactions after this?

Yes. A package was booked
last night.

Where's the package?
Has it left?

We need to meet the manager.

Both those consignments have
to be delivered to the airline.

- Okay.
- And remember this consignment...

- Deepak.
- Ravi?

- He is...
- Pradeep Bhattacharya.

Income Tax, Mumbai.

Kundan Abhushan had sent a package.
Where is it?

Please.

- It's in the strong-room.
- Let's go.

Let's go.

[Pradeep] ‘Can you hurry up?
It's urgent.’

- Hello.
- [Keerti Shah] ‘What is it?’

Keerti Sir,
there's been a problem.

[Keerti Shah] What is it?

[Man] ‘An income tax officer
is here.’

‘He’s looking for your package.’

Turn around.
Take me to the airport.

- Do you have the invoice?
- Yes, sir.

- What's the valuation?
- Just a minute.

Sir, according to the invoice,
it's 10 crores.

10 crores?

[Man] ‘Yes, sir.’

Hmm.

Sir...

Don't.

10 crore rupees.
For this glass. B******t!

Now I understand,

why Keerti Shah's stock
never gets over.

Sukhdev, listen.

[Pradeep] ‘Get ready to raid
Keerti Shah's showroom.’

[Cabin crew] This is to remind
you...

...that smoking inside
the aircraft is prohibited.

Refrain from using
your mobile phone...

...or other electronic
devices at this time.

Thank you.

May I have your attention,
please?

We would like to remind
you that smoking...

...inside the aircraft
is prohibited...

Yes, Parveena Ma’am.

[Parveena] Suleiman,
empty the ship tonight. And..

Remove the stuff from the ship,
without involving Zakir.

Okay.

[Sukhdev] ‘Just when we raid
his store,’

Keerti Shah manages to disappear.

I'm sure someone
tipped him off.

10 rupees of worth,

and he says 10 crores
on the invoice.

To bring illegal money
into the country.

What's that?

It's Keerti Shah's
partnership deed, sir.

[Sukhdev] ‘With a certain
Dharamveer Demolition.’

Keerti Shah had transferred
3.5 crores...

...to a company in Alang, right?

Dharamveer Demolition. Show me.

This is also in Alang, sir.

Keerti Shah is a partner
in Dharamveer Demolition.

And those 3.5 crores were his
investment in the company.

As per the partnership deed...

...he made this company
with some.. Zakir Patel.

Sir, I don't understand.

Why would a jeweller partner
with a demolition company?

Check this properly.

[Pradeep] ‘Hello, Deepa?
I need to go to the airport.’

‘Can you drop me?’

- Jai Hindi, Sir.
- Jai Hindi.

- We found something.
- Sir.

Jai Hind, sir.

Sir, there's a company
in Seychelles. Forge Contractors.

Despite bidding the lowest,

the ship breaking contract
went to them.

So? That's not unusual.

People often prefer
working with those...

...whom they've worked with
before.

That's the thing, Sir. Al Zohar
has never worked with them before.

In fact, Forge Contractors

was formed just a month
before the bidding.

Exactly.

And it gets even murkier, sir.

Here.

[Imtiaz] ‘Forge Contractors
has sub-contracted...’

...this ship-breaking work
to a local company in Alang.

[Imtiaz ] ‘Dharamveer Demolition.’

Basically, a ship that has
connections with Al-Qaeda...

...is coming to India.
Maybe it's already here.

Through what looks like a rather
suspicious deal.

I'll run Forge
Contractors through...

...the international
agencies and databases.

But we'll find real
information only in Alang.

Okay, go to Alang.
Let's see what we find there.

Sir.

Sir.

Good job guys.

Alang? Pradeep, the Kundan Abhushan
and Green Clan Corporation case...

...is no longer ours.
The case file is with ED now.

[Gulati] ‘And listen, come back
here immediately.’

The hearing of Spring Leaf Tyres
is today.

Sukhdev will take care of that.
I have briefed him.

[Gulati] ‘That's not
the point, Pradeep.’

Hello?

- [Gulati] ‘Tell me.’
- Hello, sir, I can't hear you.

- I can hear you. Hello, Pradeep...
- [Pradeep] ‘Hello.’

Pradeep, I can hear you.

I'll call you when I
have network, sir. Hello..

Hello, Pradeep.

He’ll drive me mad.

Alang?
As if the Army wasn’t enough.

Now must Mr. Sherlock
do ED's job too?

Sir, I have full network
in my phone.

You think this is funny?

Remember this, if we lose
this case...

...then your boss and you,
both will have to pay for this.

[Jesal] Hi, Sir.

Sorry for the short notice, Jesal.

Sanjay, this is Jesal
from the bureau.

I hope you've got
the brief, Jesal .

How far is Alang?

45 kilometres,
around 30 to 45 minutes.

- Let's go.
- Sir.

[Jesal] Sir, shall we
go to Zakir’s office?

[Imtiaz] No, let’s
see the ship first.

I could have mailed you this.

Why? Aren’t you happy
to meet me?

No, sir, it's nothing like that.

It been less than a year
since the company started.

[Mehul] ‘He hasn’t even
filed returns yet.’

‘He's a simple man.
Trades in scrap.’

Interesting.

[Pradeep] ‘As per
the partnership deed...’

...Keerti Shah
and Zakir Patel are equal partners.

But in the registration,
Keerti Shah's status...

...is of a sleeping partner.

This means Zakir
is the sole director.

Liability blurring.

Correct.

So, although Keerti Shah
is a partner...

...if anything goes wrong,

Zakir alone will be
responsible for it.

[Mehul] ‘Yes.’

- Where's Suleiman?
- Over there.

Sir. You can’t.

What's the matter?

- I want to meet Suleiman.
- No.

[Zakir] ‘Tell him
that Zakir is here.’

- ‘Call Suleiman here.’
- [Goon] ‘No.’

Stop.

- You can't go there.
- Suleiman!

- [Goon] ‘You can’t go there.’
- [Zakir] ‘But...’

Zakir, what are you doing here?

Talk to him. Tell him I'm
responsible for the ship.

He's not letting me in.

Yes, there's been a change
in plan. Go now.

But you said the work would
start in a few days.

I've brought the boys
for security.

There’s no need.
I'll call you later.

Just leave, Zakir.

Okay, fine, I'm going.

Come on, hurry up.

Put it in that sack.

Doesn't this look strange?

A local company
gets an international contract.

At the same time,
a new company is formed.

- Tell me something, Mehul.
- Hmm.

Why has a scrap dealer been chosen
for a ship-breaking job?

Okay, sir.

Follow me.

Stop stop.

Go back.

[Coastguard] The iron
is completely rusted.

I had hurt myself,
the day the ship arrived.

Zakir Patel?

There.

Jayesh, get that tin sheet.
Do it quickly.

Zakir?

Look at this.The screws are new,
but the grooves are old.

How would they fit?

Sir, you mean, the railing
was fixed later?

No, it was unscrewed
and then fixed again.

But it's empty
from inside, sir.

Perhaps, they have been emptied
recently.

Let's bring in sniffer dogs.
Let's find out what was in them.

Okay, sir.

How do I know how Keerti
makes his money.

I don't check horoscopes before
doing business with anyone, sir.

Hmm.

He offered me partnership
and I took it.

I have no idea
what a sleeping partner is.

Sir, how long would I keep working
for others?

I would like to be
independent too. Right?

- Right.
- This way.

How did you get
this contract?

- Uh..
- From Forge Contractors, right?

Y..yes.

And who are Forge Contractors?
Where are they from?

- Any idea?
- I don't know. Keerti...

Keerti Shah has f**ked you, Zakir.

What do you mean?

[dogs barking]

Forge Contractors is a company
in Seychelles.

You know Seychelles, don't you?
It's a foreign country.

There's another company
in the same country..

...called Green Clan Corporation.

They are the ones who
invested money in your...

...Dharamveer Demolition
through Keerti Kumar.

Before spending the money
didn’t you stop...

...to think where the money
was coming from?

That's why it's important to check
horoscopes before doing business.

Didn't you find it strange
that a company...

...from Seychelles is interested
in you, out of the blue?

- Yes, I mean, I was...
- Where's your office?

This way.

You need to show me
all your documents.

And the details of
all your dealings...

...and contracts with Keerti Kumar.

Try and understand, Zakir.

As per the registration deed...

...Keerti Kumar is only
a sleeping partner.

Whatever the mess,

you alone
will be responsible for it.

P-Please sit in the office. Come.

[Zakir] ‘Please come.’

This is my office.
Please wait here.

I'll call my nephew.

He's the one who handles
all the documents.

Please sit.

Praveen, get a glass
of water, quick.

- I'll be back.
- Hurry.

Did you find anything,
Radhe Sir?

Either RDX or Semtex.

To know which one,

we'll have to test
the pipes in the labs.

- Sanjay.
- Sir.

Send a police team
to get Zakir Patel.

Let's head there now.

- Yes, sir.
- Roger, sir.

Hello?

Nabeel...
Nabeel, there’s a big problem.

Come to the quarry quickly.

I’ll be there in 5 mins.

Hey! Hey! Zakir.

[Imtiaz] ‘What the f*** is Pradeep
doing here?’

[Cop on radio] Send back-up
at the quarry. Quick.

[Pradeep] ‘Zakir, stop!’

Or I'll shoot, Zakir!

Stop, Zakir!

[Zakir] Nabeel...

[gunshot]

- Zakir!
- Uncle!

Get down!

Uncle! What's happened!

[Pradeep] ‘Zakir.’

[Imtiaz] Sniper! Take cover.

Sniper alert.
Everyone, get down!

[Nabeel] ‘Uncle, talk to me..’

[Police] ‘Look that side.’

Uncle!

Shit!

[Police] Look there.

Uncle, please say something..

[Police] ‘Look there.’

S**t!

Uncle!

[phone ringing]

[Parveena] ‘Professor...’

‘The police found out
about Keerti.’

‘But don't worry, I've got
all the RDX removed from the ship.’

I don't know how the customs
learnt of...

Calm down Saman.
It's okay.

I know how important
this mission is for you.

I know they've hurt you a lot.

I'll never forgive them
for what they've done.

My brother had only
sold a few burner phones...

... to the London
bombers and...

He did not deserve to be
sent to Guantanamo.

Saman, your anger is justified.

And you've turned your rage
into passion.

Professor, if I hadn't met you
at the right time...

This time too,
rage alone isn't enough.

I know. Revenge is the enemy
of rage, you always say that.

Professor, the printers are
going to land in Kaandla.

Now that Dharamveer Demolition
is compromised...

...I'm looking for a safe place
for the printers and RDX.

[Waziri] ‘I know
you will handle it.’

Stage two of our plan is more
important than these fireworks.

[Waziri] ‘To spread
counterfeit currency in India.’

I've got this.

I'm in Chennai right now,
to meet George Prabhakar.

He's always underground, and he's
going to make contact with me.

Good luck. And Saman..

Please take care of yourself.

You too, Professor. Good bye.

[door bell ring]

Are you here to meet
Mr. Prabhakar?

Your fight is now ours,
Mr. Prabhakar.

[phone ringing]

Look, the Indian government
and the Indian army...

...have been unfair to you.

It's time
to take revenge.

Time.

Time. It's a funny thing, you know.

There was a time
when you people ridiculed us.

You ridiculed our mission.

And now, you're here.

I know you need us,
but for what?

- Well..
[phone ringing]

Go ahead, it could be important.

- Yes, tell me, what is it?
- I had to kill Zakir.

[Suleiman] ‘The police were about
to get to him.’

And our stuff?

It's in a van.
I've parked it at your office.

[Suleiman] ‘I couldn't find
any other place..’

Okay, I'll call you tomorrow.

Sorry. You were saying?

He was saying that you need us.

But for what?

Mr. Prabhakar, it's obvious
that with time...

...your movement has
become weak too.

But you're still quite strong,
and that's quite commendable.

But without international
support, you are...

...don't mind me saying,
but you are like rats.

[Parveena] ‘You're always
in hiding.’

No weapons, no planning,
nothing.

We'll support you till the end.
We'll give you funds.

You can buy new weapons,
you can recruit new soldiers.

[Parveena] ‘But yes, you're right.
We do need something in return.’

‘But it is something that
will in turn benefit you.’

You have to make the people
of this country bleed.

[Theme Music Playing]
