Kathmandu Connection (2021) s01e01 Episode Script

The target is armed and dangerous.
- Yes, sir.
Ready?
Hey!
Sanjiv!
Hey, I Don't
In today's breaking news,
two terrorists are shot down
in Delhi's Mehrauli area.
Based on an anonymous tip,
ACP Samarth Kaushik and his team
from Delhi Police raided a house.
We had to retaliate.
They had opened fire first.
We shot down both of them.
We are investigating them as of now.
And yes, I've been promoted.
Who wouldn't be happy about it?
And you guys need to be vigilant.
If you spot anyone suspicious,
alert Delhi Police right away.
Hail India!
Welcome, sir.
Hail India, sir!
- Hail India, sir!
Morning, sir.
Hail India, sir!
Come on, move.
Mishra and Trilok.
- Yes, sir.
You cover the rear exit.
- Okay, sir.
Hey Sir!
- Watch out.
Watch out. Take cover.
You son of a btch!
Watch out.
Sir! Sir
I'm fine, sir.
Anis!
- Yes, sir.
Open the door.
- Yes, sir. On it.
Do you want to get us killed?
Hey!
They are coming this way too.
Hey, stop! Stop!
Hey, stop! You f
Sir!
Is he alive?
- Yes, sir.
He was knocked out with a drug.
Get his help to make sketches
of the kidnappers when he comes around.
Yes, sir.
And get call records this place.
Yes, sir.
Delhi's famous businessman
and hotelier Dharmendra Arora,
who was kidnapped three days ago,
has been rescued by Delhi Police.
This operation was carried out
by DCP Samarth Kaushik and his team.
He's the same Samarth Kaushik
who's considered
a kidnapping-and-encounter specialist.
At the same time,
we'd also like to report
that the kidnappers weren't caught,
and they are still at large.
We'll closely monitor
the developments in this story.
But for now, it's time for a break.
This is Shivani Bhatnagar,
and you are watching Global News.
Cut it.
Excellent.
By the way, Shivani,
do you have some old grudge
against Delhi Police?
Why? What did I say
to prompt that question?
No, you didn't say much.
Anyway, the people of Delhi are happy.
Arora got rescued,
and Samarth Kaushik has become a hero.
Really?
What do you say?
Should I take an exclusive interview
of this so-called hero?
Yes, why not?
I anyway forgot to tell you
that Delhi Police will hold
a press conference.
They will present Arora there.
If you want, you can take
his exclusive interview there.
But please I mean,
don't put your questions in an accusing
way like you did it right now.
Ma'am, there is a call for you.
Do I have to remind you again?
After the bulletin.
It's okay, Arvind. It's fine.
Sir, if it was a normal call,
I wouldn't bother her.
But someone is threating
on the phone, sir.
Give it to me.
Let me put it on speaker.
Hello.
'I think you should wear a 'bindi'
when you do your show.'
'You'll look very pretty.'
Who are you?
Hello?
Hello?
Don't worry.
I'll see what I can find out.
So weird!
- I know.
Next.
Greetings.
'Three months ago,'
'Customs Officer Sandeep Garg
was murdered in Allahabad.'
'However, the CBI called it
a regular murder'
'and claimed to have solved the case.'
'But the circumstances and
the timing of the murder'
'raise a lot of questions.'
Yes?
Hitesh Agrawal from CBI.
Sister.
If you remember anything out
of the ordinary, any threat
or any unusual call
No.
He never talked much about his work.
He was a bit upset after being
transferred from Mumbai.
He said he needed to do
something important in Mumbai.
And what was it?
He never said anything more.
He used to talk to someone
in Mumbai on the phone.
I felt he was hiding something.
Even after coming to Allahabad,
he couldn't cut off ties with Mumbai.
And that night, outside
the gate of our colony
This is my phone number.
If you remember anything or
find out more, give me a call.
If you don't mind,
can I get the phone number
of your Mumbai residence?
Everything okay?
Yeah, I'm good.
I mean, with the phone call and
everything, you look really hassled.
That's a drawback of being a woman.
Don't worry. I'm fine.
Be careful.
And if there is a problem,
do not call me.
I mean, do call me.
I will.
Ma'am, you didn't ring the doorbell.
I rang twice.
Someday, someone will simply barge in
and steal everything from the house.
Give me the bag.
You didn't even hear it.
Lower the volume.
- Okay.
Hello.
Hello?
Hello?
Ma'am, I've heard that
when someone makes blank calls,
it means they are into you.
Either watch TV quietly
or serve dinner.
Don't try to be my mother.
Ma'am, water.
Do you need anything else?
- No.
Should I go?
Hello.
Hello?
Hello?
Wait.
Motherfker!
Are you sht-scared?
If you have the guts, say something.
Ma'am, should I stay for the night?
No, you can go.
Sir! Sir!
We're very happy to see
Mr Dharmendra Arora with us.
Thanks to my brilliant team,
especially Mr Samarth Kaushik,
DCP West Delhi.
With his intelligence
and presence of mind,
he was able to rescue
Mr Arora within 48 hours.
Sir! Sir! I have a question.
- Yes?
But the kidnappers got away, sir.
Sir! Mr Kaushik, why did the police
fail in capturing the kidnappers?
I'm very sure Samarth and his team
will arrest the kidnappers soon.
Sir, but
- That will be all.
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
- Sir! Sir!
Sir, that's how our media works.
Sir.
- Yes?
Sir, they are asking
for your personal interview.
Who?
Shivani Bhatnagar.
I got it.
Ready? Let's go.
- Yes.
Shivani Bhatnagar.
- Nice to meet you.
Congratulations.
- Thank you.
I've seen you on television
so many times. I know you.
Thank you.
If you can spare five minutes,
I would like an exclusive bite.
Everything's exclusive in your world.
Not everything.
Ready?
- Yeah.
Everything's ready?
Rolling?
- Rolling.
Yes, tell me.
Sir, how was the interview?
It was exclusive. I can't tell you.
I see.
Mr Mishra,
why do I have a feeling
that you had an errand to run
and you have forgotten about it?
What would I
Hi!
- Hello.
I hope you don't mind taking
a lift from a policeman.
No, thanks.
My colleague will be here soon.
Are you going with him
for the first time?
No.
Please, get in.
No need to be afraid. I am a cop.
Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Sir.
Should I drop you home?
Can I ask you something?
Yes, go ahead.
I don't know if I should
be asking you this.
But I just thought you could help me.
Yes, please
I've been getting some strange calls
for the past couple of days.
Not threatening but strange.
Sometimes, on my office number,
and sometimes, even on my home number.
Yesterday, he said
that I should wear a 'bindi'
during my show.
It was just really very weird
- It's okay. I understand.
Do one thing. Give me your office
and home numbers.
I'll see what I can do.
Yeah, sure.
I'll write it down for you.
No need, I can memorise them.
I'm a cop.
Yeah.
2267
- 2267
- 456. 2267456.
Yeah.
- And the second
- 2238975.
That's it. Now, I remember.
No, dad. That's cheating.
- I never cheat.
Cheating, cheating
- Never! Vishnu.
Put the glass here.
And tell her I never cheat.
Never, sir.
- Have I ever?
No, never.
- See that?
Drink your milk.
- No.
You're cheating. Cheating.
Hold this.
Drink it up quickly.
Hello.
- Good afternoon, sir.
Yes, Mr Mishra. Good afternoon.
Sir, we will get the phone records
of the kidnappers by evening.
Alright. Good, good.
Do me a favour.
Note down two more numbers.
Sure, sir.
Tell me, sir.
Get me the call details for these numbers
in the last couple of days.
Whose numbers are they?
First, get me the details.
I see. Okay. Sorry, sir.
I'll hang up now, sir.
Hail India, sir.
- Yes?
Sir, the sketches of the kidnappers.
Alright.
What's that?
This
- Isn't that cheating?
Isn't that cheating?
- No.
Isn't that cheating?
- No.
Wouldn't you call that cheating?
- No.
Now, you will see what happens.
I had warned you before.
Who brought her here?
What do you mean? It's her home.
Mannu, finish your milk
and let's go.
Hurry up.
Mom, I want to stay here.
I said let's go.
What's the matter?
Do I have to spell it out for you?
Who else can tell me?
You're crossing the limit, Sushmita.
You think this is the limit?
Come on, pick up your bag. Here.
Let's go.
Did you ask for
Sandeep Garg's phone records?
Yes, sir.
When did you start
this parallel investigation?
Sir, if my suspicions are confirmed,
this could be the biggest news
after the Mumbai blasts.
Relax, Hitesh. Relax.
This sensationalism is bad
for you at your age.
We don't need to write
a thesis on this case.
Sir, one day That's it.
Give me one day.
If I don't find anything,
I'll stop then and there.
Okay.
Thank you, sir.
Hey, when did you come in?
Sir, I came in when you were
about to light the cigarette.
Have a seat.
Is everything alright, sir?
Sir, these are the phone records
of the kidnappers.
And the second file contains
Shivani Bhatnagar's phone records.
Sir, the DGP was looking for you.
He may have called you too,
but you didn't respond.
Everyone is pleased with you
after the Arora case.
Will you have a drink?
No, sir. Thank you.
I'll take your leave, sir.
'Get the call records.'
'Can I get the phone number
of your Mumbai residence?'
'2267'
'977'
'977'
'Welcome to Majestic Casino, Kathmandu.'
'Welcome to Majestic Casino, Kathmandu.'
Hello.
Hello?
'Hello.'
Hello.
'You didn't wear a 'bindi'.'
Who's this?
'Let it be.'
'I think you should wear a saree
for your next show.'
Listen, whoever you are
What do you want?
'I want to see you in a saree.'
Hello? Hello? Listen Hello
Thank you for coming.
I'm sorry.
You must find this very strange.
I called you to meet here like this.
No, it's not that.
Why do you seem upset? Tell me.
Yesterday, he spoke to me again.
What did he say this time?
He asked me to wear a saree on my show.
I see.
Don't think that I'm interrogating you.
No, no.
But I have to ask some questions.
- Sure.
In the recent past or before that,
was there ever a man
who gave you such signals?
I'm a public figure. So there are many
who hint at such things or make calls.
But this seems different.
That's exactly what I mean.
For example, you did a news story
about someone who has
a criminal background.
Why Why are you asking me this?
- Tell me.
I have done many stories.
Someone or the other must
have been mentioned.
Have you ever been to Nepal?
I mean, what is your connection
with Nepal?
Nepal?
I went there on a holiday in my childhood,
but not after that.
You're scaring me.
No, it's nothing serious.
No need to be scared.
These are routine questions.
We have to ask them.
For our assurance.
Should I be concerned about this?
If you had not met me,
I would have said yes.
Please.
Have you lost it, Hitesh?
Do you even know what you're saying?
Sir, my statement is based on facts.
The Customs Department has already
received much flack for the blasts case.
The guilty have been punished.
But, sir, Garg was transferred
right one week ago
when he had such important details
about the blasts and the RDX.
There is some connection there, sir.
- Just tell me.
What proof do you have?
Sir!
Look at Garg's call records.
Only this number is from Dubai.
All the rest have
the same country code, 977.
Nepal?
- Kathmandu, sir. To be precise.
Whose is it?
- It belongs to a casino.
Sir, I have a hunch
that there is some connection
between the underworld and this case.
Garg was killed.
And our unit is not handling
the blasts case.
And you have nothing except a hunch.
Sir, I can convert this hunch
into evidence
if you can give me some time
and some resources.
And I can't give you either.
'Delhi's famous businessman
and hotelier Dharmendra Arora'
'Dharmendra Arora is a big name.
Solve this case.'
'Sir, why did Delhi Police fail
in capturing the kidnappers?'
'Meanwhile, he called up again.'
'I don't know. I thought
'Sir, the phone records
of the kidnappers.'
'I'm very sure Samarth and his team
will arrest the kidnappers soon.'
'Should I be concerned about this?'
'Sir! Sir'
- 977
'Welcome to Majestic Casino, Kathmandu.'
Found any leads?
Yes, sir.
Sir, the casino is registered
to a man called Mirza Baig.
He's a businessman.
He's got a lot of clout in politics too.
A powerful man, sir.
Mirza Baig.
Does he have a partner?
No, sir. As per my information,
he is the sole owner.
About five years ago, he bought
the casino off a Marwari businessman.
Age?
- Around 50 to 55.
Is he a pervert?
Are you asking for Shivani's sake?
Hello. Yes, sir!
I can't believe
How did this happen?
He was talking to someone on
the phone near the swimming pool.
We heard him fall into the water.
We were too late to bring him here.
A sniper?
It seems so.
The kidnappers couldn't
have hired a sniper.
This is someone else.
Did Arora have any criminal record?
Hawala or something like that?
Sir, even if he had, it wouldn't be
in our records. He was a bigwig.
Find more information.
- Sir! Sir!
Sir! Sir!
- You were investigating this case.
Don't you think
you have messed up big time?
Since the kidnappers were absconding,
why wasn't Dharmendra Arora
provided police protection?
Sir, like Dwarka Massacre,
was this also
a result of your carelessness?
- Move.
Sir! Sir!
- Sir, please answer.
Sir, it is being said that you
are often inebriated at night.
Is that affecting your work?
Sir! Sir! - Sir, it's also true that you
and your wife have filed for divorce.
Will the people of Delhi bear the burnt
of the personal issues of Delhi Police?
Sir! Sir
- Please back off.
Tell me now.
- You're manhandling a journalist.
Please back off, everyone.
You can't hit a journalist.
- Please move away.
We want an answer.
- Please back off.
You can't use force on the media.
You will have to answer our questions.
- This is not right.
You have to answer us.
I feel I've made a big mistake
by assigning this case to you.
Sir, you are blaming me as if I was
the sniper who shot Arora down.
You hit a reporter.
Are you a senior police officer
or a bloody hooligan?
Sir, the kind of inappropriate questions
he was asking, I was being lenient.
Samarth, I'm putting Rajan on this case.
Sir
- Look,
you handle your regular duties
in your jurisdiction.
This is not a normal kidnapping
or a murder case.
This is complicated.
Rajan won't be able to solve it.
- And you will be?
Give all the data to Rajan.
Sir!
What happened, sir?
He took me off the case.
Motherfker!
Are you coming out,
or should I come in?
'You seem very excited today.'
You are making me wait.
It seems you are testing me.
'No, I'm not used to this.'
Then get used to it.
Oh, darn it.
'Hello!'
- Hello, Mr Mishra. Am I disturbing you?
No, sir.
Come to the office then.
We have to look for evidence.
Ready!
I'll be there soon, sir.
Well
You should be sleeping at home, sir.
I could have also got some sleep.
This is the evidence for the Arora case.
Sir, Rajan is handling this case.
To hell with Rajan!
He has no idea
what this case is about.
I had asked you about Arora's dealings.
Any update on that?
Sir, I don't know much,
but he did have dealings
with the Majestic Casino.
I knew that.
This is not an ordinary kidnapping case.
There are too many knots to unravel.
Yes, sir.
I can also see some unravelling.
Allahabad.
What do you mean?
You will take offence if I say it.
Then don't say it.
Sir, if the DGP were to find out,
he will be mad at me too.
Good for you, motherfker!
Take this.
Sir!
Do as I say. Get medical
certificates for both of us.
And hand them over to Sharma.
Make up some good excuse.
A likely disease
that takes 10-15 days to recover.
Jaundice or something like that.
And
Come, let's go.
- Where?
Allahabad.
He is going to land me
in family court too.
I heard that.
- Coming, sir.
Why is this not done yet?
Decrease it further.
- Yes, ma'am.
Keep at it.
- Yes.
You may forget me,
but I will not forget you.
I was about to call you.
I've sent you a gift.
I hope you like it.
Why won't I?
No one knows my likes and
dislikes better than you.
I was going to send it
to your office address.
You spend most of your time there.
But then I thought it would
be better to send it to your home.
No one needs to know anyway.
I understand.
'Alright, my dear.
Take care of yourself.'
You too.
I'll see you soon.
Sir, we have been
to many hotels since morning.
The blasts took place in Mumbai,
and you are looking
for a lead in Allahabad.
Where is Hotel Sheetal?
- Sir, this way ahead.
The next alley, sir.
- Up there?
I have a hunch that
whoever executed this murder
were not from Allahabad.
But they would have had to stay
in Allahabad to execute their plan.
So, it's obvious they stayed
in some cheap hotel.
Is this towel from your hotel?
- Yes.
Did these guys stay in your hotel?
Yes, sir. They did.
Did they leave anything behind?
- Yes.
Yes, sir. They left this behind.
Pratapgarh.
Now?
CBI.
Sir, two people came from Delhi.
They showed us some sketches
and questioned us.
Do you know where they went?
Sir, they were talking about Pratapgarh.
Pratapgarh.
Is this from your shop?
- Yes. So what?
Many people buy magazines here.
I don't keep records of everyone
who buys stuff here.
Listen, buddy.
Answer our questions quickly.
Or soon, you will be in the news too.
Hey
- Hello.
How are you?
- Very well.
Here are your parcels.
- Alright.
It's from her mother.
This?
A man asked me to give it to you.
Which man?
- I don't know.
Alright, I'll go now.
Listen, mister
Sure?
- Yes.
This is it, sir.
This one?
- Yes.
Let's go.
We're late, motherfker!
They are the same guys, sir.
Fk, that means someone knows
we were looking for them.
Then they know about us too, sir.
No.
They don't know about you yet.
There is no need for that.
Hitesh Agrawal from CBI.
Mumbai blasts?
Yes, no one wants to believe me.
But there is a connection.
A strong connection.
So, you are saying the people who killed
Garg from the Customs Department
and the ones who kidnapped Arora
are the same people.
Yes. And they are dead.
Hitesh, would you like to tell us
who is behind all this?
So far, I have got only one man
I can suspect.
Mirza Baig.
Mirza Baig?
Mirza Baig!
The casino guy.
- Yes.
Have to go to Kathmandu.
I can't go.
Because they know me.
But you guys can go.
I wanted to do this job myself,
but I think you are mad enough to do this.
Oh my God!
Om?
Shivani.
