The Raikar Case (2020) s01e01 Episode Script

Suicide Or A Murder?

Stop, Tarun! Tarun, just stop!
Okay, just listen to me.
I'm I'm really sorry
that I didn't answer your phone calls.
Look, I'm here now.
Hi, Tarun.
'Tasha, my real and only family.'
'They say family is everything.'
'They help you with your aspirations.'
'And they support you if you fall.'
'They help you forget your sorrows
and share your joys.'
'And that is Tasha, my sister.'
'We are Naik Raikars,
the great Naik Raikars.'
'But no one knows this family
better than I do.'
'They are an affluent, reputed
and respectable family from Bicholim.'
'But at the same time, a sweet family.'
'As long as you don't mess with them,
it's all good. Otherwise, you pay for it.'
'It is said you don't get
to choose your family.'
'But sometimes, the most dangerous people
are your own family.'
Tarun! Tarun, stop.
Tarun, just stop! Stop.
I'm I'm sorry.
Look, I'm here now, Tarun.
Tarun, just talk to me, please.
Tarun, just
I spoke.
That's all I did.
But no one heard me.
- Stop.
Not even you. No.
- No. No!
Goodbye, Tasha.
Don't say that, Tarun. See, I'm here now.
Just talk to me, Tarun. You can't do this,
Tarun. Don't do this, please.
This is Bro Zach signing off.
No! No, Tarun!
Like I said, family is everything.
But in my case,
my family is responsible for my death.
'Naik Raikars'
Aunt Lily.
Why did my son commit suicide?
I don't know.
If I knew it, I could have helped him.
Etasha.
Do you know anything about Tarun?
Anything at all.
Why? Why did Tarun do this?
'The devil does not want your life,'
'but your soul.'
'Even after death, the soul lives on.'
'But if you lose your soul,
what is the point of living?'
'This is Bro Zach signing off.'
'Keep praying and keep listening
to your own gospel radio station.'
So, Tarun was Bro Zach!
My mom tunes in
to this radio channel every day.
She will miss him.
I killed Tarun.
I killed him. I killed Tarun.
Tarun is no more because I killed him!
Bring the lamp and the flowers.
- Yes, sir.
Mr Yashwant Raikar.
Etasha told me that she killed Tarun.
This is Yashwant Naik Raikar.
May I speak to the IGP?
I made a mistake, sir.
I will see to it that Etasha does not
get into any trouble.
Greetings, sir.
We've held a memorial service for Tarun
at home. I thought I would remind you.
Please attend it. I'll be waiting for you.
Thanks.
Sir
- Leave.
Gomes.
- Yes, sir.
The boy who passed away
was Vinayak Naik Raikar's son
and Yashwant Naik Raikar's nephew.
It has been four days,
and you have not released the body yet.
Sir, the new SP is handling the case.
He's looking into it.
Etasha!
Etasha!
Where is Etasha?
Sakshi?
- Yes.
Where is Etasha?
What's the matter?
- Do you know what she told the police?
Jyoti.
- Yes?
The room looks clean. Go outside.
But, ma'am,
I have to clean the dining table
I said, go out.
What's the matter?
Tarun has made our lives hell
by committing suicide.
On top of it, Etasha told the police
that she killed him!
Oh God! I hope they won't hurt her.
She is my daughter.
They dare not touch her!
That night, Tarun called Etasha many
times. But she did not answer his calls.
And now, she's blaming herself!
Tarun called Etasha!
Twelve times! She had twelve missed calls.
But why did he call Etasha
when he should have called us?
I will ask Tarun this! Okay?
She's the only sensible child!
She
I won't let any harm come to her.
Send her to the factory
when she comes home. - Yes.
I want to talk to her.
Great! She's his only sensible child!
Listen Mohit.
Do you know
if Tarun had called Etasha before he died
or if he sent her any texts as well?
I don't know.
She would have told me if he did.
Ask her.
Twelve missed calls.
Dr Francis.
- Yes?
SP John Pereira.
- Hi.
Nice to meet you.
Tarun?
- Yes.
May I?
- Sure. Please.
You mentioned in the report
that the cause of death is heart failure.
It's quite common, sir.
When a person falls from a height,
even before the impact,
his heart stops beating.
Do you see this clotting?
It means that he suffered the injury
before the fall.
This is not a case of suicide.
This could be murder.
May I come in, sir?
Gomes! Yes. Come in.
Gomes, I was reading the statements.
You didn't ask any of the members
of the Naik Raikar family
if they had a problem with Tarun.
Sir, why would anyone have a problem
with a sixteen-year-old?
When I was sixteen,
everyone had a problem with me. So?
Nothing, sir. He was depressed. He could
not go on, and so he committed suicide.
Gomes, a sixteen-year-old is not a kid.
Secondly, he was entitled to receive
his father's entire share
in the company and property.
And what if I say that he did not jump,
but he was pushed?
Who would say that these plants
are not from around here?
They have adjusted well to our climate.
And some plants don't survive
in their own land.
Tasha.
Dad.
Let's go.
Dad, I should have answered his calls.
Tasha, what difference would it have made?
You were in Mumbai, and he was here.
Dad, if I had spoken to him
It wouldn't have helped.
It would have got you in trouble.
After Trupti and Vinayak died,
he started losing his mind.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Look, Tasha.
A plantation has thousands of plants.
A handful of them are weak and will die.
I am responsible for all the plants
in this plantation.
Should I curse myself for the handful
of plants that turned out weak?
Or should I look after the ones
that are alive?
Look. Whatever you said
to Gomes this morning
I won't repeat it.
Good.
Sir, I wanted to talk to you.
Hi.
- Hi.
Sir, I pulled a few strings
for the land in Mapusa.
We can easily outbid competitors
for the Gokhale Farms tender.
Soniya even knows the wife
of the Chief Manager.
Hansal, are you my legal advisor
or negotiator?
Excuse me?
- I, Yashwant Naik Raikar,
always play fair.
Tasha, I'll see you at home.
Why did you mention the underhand deal
in front of my daughter?
Sorry, sir.
When is Gokhale Farms
putting out the tender?
Trespassing
Is a serious offence.
You can be arrested for this.
Who the fuck are you?
Abusing a police officer
is another offence.
Fuck off!
- Your vocabulary is weak.
Should I teach you some local cuss words?
Why didn't you pick up his phone
that night?
He tried calling you 12 times, didn't he?
SP John Pereira.
Come home if you have any questions.
Tarun Zachary Naik Raikar.
Sixteen years old.
A teenager with a lot of issues.
Why didn't anyone talk to him at home?
Or were you all busy eating cashews?
Four years ago,
Tarun's father and sister died.
Vinayak Naik Raikar
and Trupti Naik Raikar. - Listen!
You can't talk to me like that. Okay?
You can't tell me
what I can or can't do, Etasha.
You are just the daughter
of a cashew factory owner.
That's all.
Fuck.
This is a steering wheel, not a showpiece.
Can you please leave me alone?
From 'Fuck off!' to 'Please'.
Good progress.
We are going to Tarun's memorial service.
He was your brother.
Why did you have to force me to come?
I would have just stayed at home.
I will inform your dad about this.
- Shall I call him?
I will call him. Wait. Shall I?
Do you want me to call him?
Stop the car.
I don't want to attend
that fucking memorial service!
I asked you to stop the car.
Fuck you!
Manika! What are you doing?
- Hi. I am going to go live for you guys.
So, welcome to my death porn!
- Are you crazy?
Manika!
Why do you always stay mad at me?
Wear your seat belt. Now!
Let's go.
Yashwant.
- Hey, Anandi.
How are you?
- I am fine.
And what about you, Manika?
I am fine.
Mister, keep some extra chairs in that
empty space. Okay? Good.
Aren't you done
with the flower arrangements yet?
The guests will be here anytime. Hurry up.
- Listen.
Hi, baby.
Nice arrangements, I must say.
Yeah. Sure.
Um
The wedding might be postponed.
Postponed? Why, Mohit?
There has been a death in my family.
You are aware of it.
One more thing.
How are you, Mohit?
I am fine, uncle.
Wow, Uncle Jagdish. Is that a new Rado?
Yes. Well I liked it. So, I bought it.
Where are the others?
They are here.
Aunt is in the kitchen, and
Here's dad.
Preeti.
Jagdish.
I have heard
about a labour union in my factory.
Yes, actually
You are a member of Rajya Sabha now.
So, your party must also
have a presence in your factory.
After all, it's for your workers
I consider my workers
as my family members.
Who knows that better than me?
Moreover, this was Mr Rane's idea,
not mine.
I thought you would like it.
Really?
You thought I'd like it!
Idiot!
Hi!
Dad?
Hey, Manika.
We got late as the car's tyre
got punctured. - Did I ask about it?
Did I?
Dad.
- Yes.
I want to show you something.
- What is it?
I got this message on Messenger.
- Whose message is it?
Trupti Naik Raikar.
Who?
- Trupti.
What!
What nonsense!
It has been four years since she died.
Dad, I got a message early in the morning
saying that Tarun didn't commit suicide.
He has been murdered.
Someone from the family has murdered him.
This might be a prank, Etasha.
That's what I thought, dad.
But I got another message
some time back. Here.
'This is not a joke. This is the truth.'
'A truth that no one knows about.'
I will call the IG and inform him.
He will ask someone from the Cyber Cell
to investigate it. Don't worry.
Tasha, why aren't you ready yet?
People have started arriving
for the memorial service.
Get ready immediately.
How do you manage to do this?
What do you mean?
- How can you be so normal?
Tarun passed away, mom.
Our Tarun.
Only four days have passed since he died.
And you are behaving
as if nothing has happened.
And I can't imagine him not being around.
And you want me to get ready
for his memorial service!
How can you
When everyone else goes weak,
someone has to be strong
enough to support others.
Tarun was like a son to me as well.
But Lily is his mother.
I am hiding my pain
so that
she can cry her heart out.
Mom
Sorry.
Get ready.
Greetings, sir.
Greetings.
Please come.
Baby, I'm deleting my FriendBook account.
Are you drunk or what?
Don't be stupid.
What if her ghost hacks my account?
Delete it.
- Best.
Hello, Mohit.
Well Excuse me.
Hi, Soniya.
Such pretty earrings.
- Greetings.
How is Lily?
Aunt Lily. My gosh!
She has lost so much of weight.
And her jawline!
- Have a seat.
Anandi
- Excuse me.
Sure.
Let's go.
Sir, I have asked the team
to finish the investigation by tomorrow.
Don't worry about it.
You won't face any problems.
But what about the body?
We will release it by tomorrow.
Ask the Cyber Cell
- Eklavya is here.
Eklavya, I am glad to see you here.
- Yes.
Dad is stuck in Delhi.
- Yes, I know.
We talked on the phone.
This is Mini.
She is my fiancée.
- Greetings.
Eklavya,
your fiancée is beautiful.
Yeah, I know.
Eklavya.
- Yes. What is it?
Come. You should meet Lily.
Shall we?
Lily, Eklavya is here.
I am very sorry for your loss, mom.
Eklavya, you should now be
saying that to Mini's mother.
What do you mean?
Should I say sorry?
No, I meant, mom.
Yes.
Lily.
This is Mini.
She is Eklavya's fiancée.
Hey! Tasha.
Hi, Eklavya.
Hi.
Thanks for coming.
Still looking hot.
As if you are freshly baked in an oven.
Isn't it?
What?
Why don't you both have a seat?
No, we are leaving.
Let's go.
What is this, mom?
Tarun was a virtuous boy.
He was very sweet.
As you all know,
he never talked much. But
He was a kind-hearted person.
When someone dear to you
passes away,
you feel deeply saddened.
It might take us our entire lives
to come out of this shock.
We might never be able
to overcome this loss.
But despite this tragic loss,
it is our duty and responsibility
to support Lily, Tarun's mom.
We must stand with her like a rock.
As a family, as a unit.
And
To make this possible,
I pray to God to give us strength and
Sir.
What's going on?
We are here to arrest
the prime suspect of Tarun's murder.
