Poornima's relationship with Kaushik starts to get effected, as she gets embroiled in politics. Ashish forms a secret alliance. Meanwhile, Wasim meets an old informant and finds a crucial lead.

Motherfucker.

Wait, bhai. Wait.

If I stay alive,
I can be of use to you.

I don't negotiate.
That's my senior's work.

[Reddy] I can give you Mustaq.

I can tell you where Mustaq
will be this Friday.

Tell me.

Let me go.
I'll go out and call.

Do you think I am a moron?

Even I'm not a moron,
Wasim bhai.

[siren wailing]



[Title Montage]

A-Aunt, how did this happen?

He was with us till yesterday.

He always treated me like his son.

What's the matter, Sister?

You're roaming around
with bodyguards.

You're behaving like a minister
even before you've been elected!

As soon as dad regains consciousness,
he's going to look for Uncle Jiten.

I'll be next to dad.
I'll explain him everything.

Don't forget to tell him the truth.

I've to tell him a lot of truths.

- Which truth are you talking about?
- Even you know the truth.

Are you talking about the rally...

...where you made a fool out of me?



I'm talking about the truth that
took place at the docks last night.

What were you doing there?

- Not me. You were there.
- Is it?

You're confused.

"Attack when they're unprepared."

"Appear where you're not expected."

Your Sun Tzu said this.

One by one,
I'll get rid of everyone.

Dad, Uncle Jiten is no more.

Ashu has killed him.

- Ashish sir is calling you.
- Why?

Hey, motherfucker. Come.

- But I've to go to the crematorium.
- We're taking you there.

- Come.
- Come on.

What were you doing
at the docks last night?

[Purushottam stammering]

Motherfucker.

He is like that Tusshar Kapoor
from Golmaal!

- What were you doing at the docks?
- N-Nothing...

I went there to collect a file.

[Purushottam screaming]

Motherfucker, stand straight.

You went to the docks at 10
in the night to collect a file?

Yes?

[Purushottam screaming]

Tell me!

Steal... I went there to steal.

What did you steal?

Money...

Since how long have
you been stealing?

I've never stolen anything.

I don't steal anything.
I...

Yesterday, I went to steal.
But I didn't.

What are you saying, asshole?

I couldn't steal.

I kept the money back in the box.

- You can check. Check...
- Fucker!

[Purushottam screaming]

Hey. Okay, I believe
that you didn't steal.

Where is Jiten's diary?

I don't know.

No, I...
I'm telling the truth.

I don't know.

- You're working with Jiten
for 15 years. - Yes.

You are very close to him.

You maintain his accounts.

- But...
- Where's the diary?

No... I don't know.
I'm telling the truth.

- I'm telling the truth.
- Listen...

- Think...
- Sorry.

- You'll remember.
- No.

- Shall I help you?
- I don't know.

- Shall I help you?
- I don't know.

Cocksucker!
Let me help you remember!

I now remember.
I do remember.

Tell me.

- Huh?
- I remember.

I do remember now...
I do remember.

[Ashish] Tell me.

- I now remember.
- Tell me.

I shouldn't have done it.

I shouldn't have done this
to Manjari.

I shouldn't have done this
to Manjari.

- Who is Manjari?
- She is great. - Huh?

She is my wife.

- Does she have the diary?
- She's very nice.

- Does she have the diary?
- She's very nice.

Okay.
But does she have the diary?

- No.
-[Ashish] Motherfucker.

Why are you taking her name
if she doesn't have the diary?

Because I have deeply wronged her.

Lord, forgive me.
Lord.

I lied to her.

I touched another woman.

I did so many things with her.

I lied to Manjari.

I used the money for my dad's
treatment somewhere else.

Lord... Lord, forgive me.
Forgive me.

No. You hit me.

- I should be beaten up. Hit me...
- Quiet. Quiet!

- Hit me...
- Hit me? Shut up...

Shut up.
Just shut up.

Now, you'll answer my questions
by nodding your head.

- Just shut your mouth.
- Yes. - Yes?

Do you have the diary?

- Do you have the diary?
- No.

- Sure?
- Yes.

Sure?

- Hit me... - Yes... Okay.
- Hit me. Forgive me.

- I got it...
- Forgive me. Hit me...

Hit me.

- Leave this asshole.
- Hit me...

Are you awake, champion?

Be thankful that the bullet
just grazed your arm.

Where is she?

Is it hurting a lot?

I am the root cause
of all your troubles.

I can't trouble you anymore.

[Nurse] Doctor will come here
for a check-up.

Please wait outside.

- I should go back.
- No. No...

- I...
- What?

Will you marry me?

Ready...

[Man1] Oh!

- Uncle Hari.
- Hello.

- Where is Amit?
- He went to get the ball.

- Where?
- Over there.

- Outside the bungalow?
- Yes.

Have you lost it?

Amit.

- Amit.
-[Amit] Mom.

Amit, listen to me carefully.

This is very important. Okay?

Hereafter, the bodyguards will
accompany you everywhere you go.

Bodyguard?
How cool.

Amit, this is not a joke.

This is very important.

Okay, Mom.
Mom.

Is this happening because of
your fight with Ashu Uncle?

It's all over the internet.

Ashu Uncle won't harm me.

Just don't go anywhere
without the guards, okay?

Okay.

Go.

I knew you'll come back.

[Raja] You're in love
with this place, right?

You get fucked thrice a day.

Even you must be enjoying it.

Hey, smart-arse.

If you stare at me like that,
I'll gouge your eyes out.

Got it?

What will you do?
Will you call that police officer?

[Raja] Will you call him?

Right answer.

Look, everyone will leave
in the end.

But even you know...

...that your Raja
won't let you go anywhere.

No?

Hey!

It's evening.

Oil your machine!
Come on.

Why did you come back?

- He wants to marry me.
- What?

And you came back here?

That's why I came back.

He loves me a lot.

You had a chance.

People like us never get a chance.

Forgive me.

I looked lustfully
at someone other than my wife.

For 15 years,
I was loyal towards my work.

I never thought of stealing.

And when I thought of it...

...it wasn't for my old father
who is at home.

[Purushottam] But for my own enjoyment.

Disgust... I feel disgusted.

Why are you people alive?

What makes you people happy?
Hmm?

[Mystery woman] Daily, you wake up...

...and struggle your way to the office
in crowded trains.

You work as a slave at the office...

...as if nothing else
can make you happy.

And once again you struggle your
way back home in the evening.

[Mystery Woman] And at the end
of the month...

...you earn up to 15 to 20,000.

What you call living...

...is not living.

It's called walking through
your life like the living dead.

[Mystery Woman] You are like
walking dead bodies.

People like you are fools...

...who even in basic things like
food and sex...

...involve God, morality
and a whole bunch of nonsense.

[Mystery Woman] If your God
was real...

...and he had time to think
about you...

...then let me assure you...

...he would have left the world
long back.

At the sheer disgust of
creating something so useless.

You know, sometimes
when I look at a mosquito...

...I think to myself.

What is the use of its life?

But then...

[Mystery Woman] It at least
bites people.

It gives people Dengue, Malaria.

It at least troubles people.

People like you can't even do that.

Neither good nor bad to anyone.

Actually, if you see the
larger scheme of things...

...you don't matter.

[Mystery Woman] Your existence
doesn't matter.

I really feel sorry for you.
I do.

Do think about what I said,
if you get time.

And ask yourself...

[Mystery Woman] ...what is that
one thing you're alive for?

Why?
Why do you want to live?

And do call me if you find the answer.

I would really like to know.

And if you don't find the answer...

...then do yourself a favour.

Finish off this life of yours.

[Lipakshi] Poorni,
if you don't come here today...

...I'll come there.

Lipakshi, you won't believe
what's going on here.

[Lipakshi] This is what you've been
saying for the last three days.

I'll call you, Lipakshi.
Ple...

I'll call you back.

What the hell is happening,
Poornima?

You could've at least told me.

There were two guards standing
outside my classroom.

I don't trust Ashu.

He can do anything.

[Kaushik] I had warned you.

But you need to stop this,
Poornima.

Please, stop this.

You knew what you were
getting into...

...when you married
a politician's daughter, right?

Yes, but I didn't expect this.

Backing off is not an option.

Now, this is my life, Kaushik.

I need your support.

Please.

You have my support, Poornima.

But I don't like surprises.

So, if there is anything else
that you want to tell me...

...please do it today.

There's nothing else.

That's it for the day.

Bloody politician.

Wasim Khan.

Okay.

Wasim bhai.

- How are you?
-[Wasim] How are you, anna?

What is this?
Clean ground?

As intelligence dawned,
my hairline receded.

Sit down...

Good.

I never thought,
you'll reach this far.

You were the only one who
always underestimated me.

Good that I underestimated you.

Or else, you would have been
in jail along with the others.

Correct.

Today, we have pulasa fish
for lunch.

[Reddy] Do eat before leaving.

That depends, anna.

What do you mean?

It depends on the information
that you give me.

Okay.

We'll talk about the pulasa later.

What do you want?
Tell me.

I am here to apologise to you.

For what?

I killed your Savio.

It'll be soon out in the news.

Anna, we know each other
for 25 years, right?

[Wasim] So, let me come to the point.

Who gave you the order?

Look, Wasim bhai.

I have left my old business
to live a peaceful life.

Even I don't want any problems.

That's why I'm telling you.
Just tell me the name.

No one will know, it was you
who gave me the information.

You are joking. Huh, Wasim bhai?

Does it ever work that way
in our line of work?

In this business, one's word is
more important than one's life.

If you can't keep your word,
you can't keep your life.

If you ever double-cross me...

...I'll find you and
shoot you in the ass.

I won't.

What is this ring for?
Are you proposing to me?

This is because you
saved Reddy's life.

Show this to me when required.

Reddy will return your favour.

Is your offer still on, anna?

At that time, you thought
this offer was foolishness.

Reddy remembers everything.

- Raman.
- Raman?

But he is in Tihar jail.

There is no better office than jail...

...to run our business...

...with the blessings
of the government.

But why would Raman suddenly
think of killing Gaikwad?

I don't know that.

But it's possible...

...that he is returning
someone's favour just like me.

Such huge favour...

...that he takes up the contract
to kill someone like Gaikwad!

There could be some old friend.

Fuck!

It feels like I have
been hard for a month...

...yet no woman
wants to fuck me.

Hello, Poornima ji.

[Poornima] Hello, Suhas bhau.

A hearty congratulations from all
the party's ministers and workers.

Thank you.
Take a seat.

You saved all our dignity
in the rally.

But your brother asked us
not to take part in the rally.

Or else, even we would have
witnessed that historic day.

You delivered a speech. What next?

Suhas bhau, I'm joining politics.

But Saheb is preparing Ashish.

Yes.

Then... Will you go against
Saheb's will?

Suhas bhau, let me come to the point.

Even you know,
if Saheb doesn't wake up...

...you'll have to choose
his successor.

[Poornima] And after the rally
everyone got to know...

...that I'm a better candidate
than Ashish.

I'm just giving you
an opportunity...

...to put your money
on the right horse.

Very nice speech...

...coming from a person
whom we don't know at all.

You'll soon get to know.

Either choose a leader like Saheb,
who'll take you all along...

...or someone like Ashish...

...who didn't even let you
take part in the rally.

[Poornima] In the coming days...

...the political future of
this state will be decided.

I hope that you'll take
the right decision.

- Long live Maharashtra.
- Long live Maharashtra.

I'm delighted to be here today.

Hey. Sing Kajra Re.

Sir, my training is
in classical music.

[Singer] So, if possible...

[footsteps approaching]

You've come to the wrong address,
Ramnik bhai.

Poornima doesn't stay here.

Your anger is just like
that of Saheb's.

The only difference is...

...Saheb uses his anger
at the right place.

Come to the point, Ramnik bhai.

What Poornima did to you
at the rally was wrong.

How does it matter you?

Has your conscience awakened?

When it comes to money,
my conscience is perennially asleep.

[Ramnik] I am here
to support you.

What did you see in me,
Ramnik bhai?

There is a rule I follow in my business.

Put your money on someone
you can control.

Sitting in my home...

...you're talking
about controlling me.

You have balls, Ramnik bhai.

I won't waste your time
by lying to you, Ashish.

Because you'll catch me lying.

[Ramnik] One thing is clear.

Poornima won't listen to anyone.

Even you are short-tempered.

But our goal is one.

What do you mean?

I've been Mr. Gaikwad's friend
for a very long time.

But for a few years now...

...he has been concentrating more
on Delhi and less on Mumbai.

[Ramnik] I tried
explaining it to him...

...but he didn't listen.

Your thinking is different,
Ashish.

You'll stay back in Mumbai.

What do you know
about my thoughts?

Motherfucker!

It's very important to find out
everything about the horse...

...I'm going to bet on,
Ashish.

Mr. Gaikwad's fate changed
at the docks.

By killing Jiten there...

you've given your fate
a new direction, Ashish.

I like it.

So...

Shall I consider you
my friend, Ashish?

Not Ashish.
Ashish saheb.

Saheb.
Ashish saheb.

You are nicer
than you should be.

Relax. It's just sex.

Where is Jiten's diary?

I can't do this anymore.

Where is Jiten's diary?

[Mystery woman] People like
you can't even do that.

Neither good nor bad to anyone.

Long live India, sir.

Sorry for that day, sir.

It's okay.
I understand your reasons.

[phone ringing]

The bar's closed. Hang up.

Sir, Reddy got the contract
to kill Gaikwad.

- Reddy?
- Sir, I have met with Reddy.

- Raman had called him.
- What?

Raman, Reddy.

Why are you mentioning
these long forgotten people?

Sir, Reddy sent those kids
on Raman's orders.

Okay, I got that.
But why?

Raman is resting in Tihar jail!

Sir, even I don't know that.

As far as I know...

...Raman and Gaikwad...

...were neither friends
nor enemies.

[Roy] Then there is only
one explanation.

Raman targeted Gaikwad
on someone else's request.

Even Reddy said the same, sir.

Raman is trying to pay back
someone else's favour.

But whom will a crazy person
like Raman listen to?

Who is it
that Raman can't say no to?

Sir, RAW had recruited Raman,
right?

Yes.

[Roy] But RAW has a problem
with Gaikwad?

- I don't know, sir.
-[Roy] Impossible.

Wasim, we both know...

...that if RAW wants to kill someone
they have thousand ways of doing so.

They won't send two idiots
on a bike.

Sir, that's why I think Raman was
paying back someone's favour.

Sir, there's no other
valid explanation.

Only this makes sense.

Sir.

Do you know anyone who helped
Raman at any point of time?

Wasim, you know the 90s.

Everybody was on everybody's bed.

It's difficult to say.

I am such an idiot.

What, sir?

I should've thought about
this connection before.

Sir, which connection?

What I'm going to tell you...

...is an incident which happened...

...before the friendship
between Raman and RAW was formed.

We helped Mustaq flee from India.

Raman was the only one left.

If we had one more day,
we would have killed Raman.

[Wasim] I remember, sir.

But that's when,
out of the blue...

...we got orders from the top
and we had to back off.

I remember, sir.

- We weren't given
any explanation. - Yeah.

Within 24 hours,
his passport was ready..

...and he fled to Cambodia.

This was possible only
with the help of one person.

The home minister of that time...

[Roy] ...who is the chief minister
at present.

Jagdish Gurav.
