Indian Police Force (2024) s01e02 Episode Script

The Hunt

1
What are you looking at?
Nothing.
The weather is changing.
There's a nip in the air.
Delhi's winter.
Tasty food, warm clothes, misty mornings.
Smog, pollution.
Don't forget traffic and accidents.
You know, it's okay to appreciate change.
Be it the weather or people.
Just makes life more interesting,
and seems longer.
Especially when you know--
Shut up, Ashu.
It's okay to talk about it.
I think it's not okay.
I think we should consult another doctor.
Life is short, okay.
Sick or not.
Life should be large and not long.
I hate that movie!
No, you don't.
Have you noticed that
you never listen to me?
I am your husband.
I know you too well.
You have some problems.
Me?
Like?
You have a short temper.
And?
When you're in a hurry,
you wear the wrong pair of socks.
You're wearing the wrong pair of socks.
Even I miss her a lot.
We didn't get much time together.
But whatever memories we have created,
are enough for a lifetime.
And she even prepared us for this.
Lupus.
Such a rare disease.
Just like her.
Rare.
She was full of energy.
She knew how to enjoy life.
Mom,
how did you cope after Dad passed?
When in a moment everything shatters
how do you move on?
By picking up the pieces.
And after all I had you.
Look.
When you're down to the last straw,
life is about hanging on,
and bravely facing the storms.
My love Speaks the language of the heart
Your face is a veil on the gleaming moon
My love, the cool breeze
Still resides in your tresses
I don't have words
For the silent greetings
Our eyes exchanged
On the road of love I keep walking
Such is my plight
O tempter Sweet tempter
You belong to me
O tempter, you stole my slumber
O tempter
You are my world, my life
What more can I wish for?
I've dedicated my life to you
Since you stepped into my house
It's turned into a home
I found you
And two of our paths embraced as one
Our journey has now become easier
I don't have words
For the silent greetings
Our eyes exchanged
Can't stop treading Down the lane of love
Such is my plight
O tempter Sweet tempter
You belong to me
O tempter, you stole my slumber
O tempter, you stole my slumber
O tempter
O tempter
Five more hangers are filled
with blast materials.
The destruction shouldn't be assessed
by objects,
but by the lives we lost.
Yes, sir.
We lost 250 innocent civilians.
Vikram, do what it takes.
I want those scoundrels.
- Jai Hind, sir.
- Jai Hind.
Team. Tara Shetty.
Gujarat ATS Chief.
And, Tara.
Meet Kabir and Rana.
You already know Vikram.
They are handling this case.
Sir, they repeated the Gujarat module.
Obviously.
Sir, IM has already
claimed responsibility.
We all know it's exactly like Gujarat.
Sir, this job couldn't be carried out
without local help.
Even we know that, Shetty.
What's new?
If you were so well informed,
why didn't you pay attention to our intel?
What intel is that?
Your intel was for Republic Day.
I am so sorry.
IM doesn't function according
to your timetable and expectations.
Sir, we made it abundantly clear,
Delhi could be the next
target after Ahmedabad.
Which department did you inform?
They could have warned us directly, sir.
Protocol, Vikram.
- Take your protocol and--
- Vikram.
That's enough, Tara.
This is not the time for arguments,
It's the time to take action.
Yes, sir.
I completely agree, sir.
My team and I have worked tirelessly
on this case.
We scanned nearly
half the streets of India,
I want to get these scoundrels.
And Gujarat ATS is here
to share all the information.
But, sir, I need complete cooperation.
Especially from Vikram.
I don't think Vikram should have
a problem with that.
Right, Vikram?
Right, sir.
- Ma'am.
- Thanks.
Kabir, right?
Yes, ma'am.
How long have you been on Vikram's team?
Almost three years, ma'am.
Then what I've heard about you is true.
I hope you've heard good things.
Sorry to disappoint you, but no.
I heard you're a lunatic.
Don't follow protocols.
You're hotheaded.
But what can you do?
Those are the qualities
of your superior, so
how else would he train you?
Of course, Shetty.
Like you made it
to the top following the protocol.
Don't always be so angry.
We're not the same age as we were
in the academy.
Age.
Ma'am, I've heard you're writing a book,
on your experiences.
Yes.
Who told you?
Vikram sir.
He keeps telling me about you.
Great.
I hope he says nice things about me.
Sorry to disappoint you, ma'am, but no.
How is Shruti?
First class.
How old is Aayush now?
He will turn ten in a couple of days.
- Wow
- When are you getting married, Shetty?
I am single and I am happy.
It's a good thing you
didn't get married, Shetty.
Because to get married,
you have to be good at partnership.
And you are selfish.
Same old "Selfish Shetty."
Selfish, me?
I have information for you.
A landlord in Ahmedabad
got suspicious of his four tenants.
He wasn't sure at first.
But exactly two days after the blast
when the boys disappeared,
he reported it to the local police.
When we went there, we found
traces of bomb-making materials
from their room.
Overall it looked like
they left in a hurry.
After that, we traced all the calls
in the area
and got our hands on this number
with great difficulty.
Manisha, trace this number.
Yes, sir.
A couple of days ago,
this number was used for the second time
to call Azamgarh from Delhi.
Then again we lost track,
which is why we put Delhi on alert.
Before we could make a move,
news of the blasts came in.
Now what we have is this number.
And this sketch the
landlord helped us make.
It's not the same guy.
Pawan, bring up the sketch we have.
The landlord told us,
some guy used to show
up to meet those boys.
Maybe that's him.
Who is it?
Sir, I am from HGFL Bank.
It's about your loan application.
- Greetings, brother.
- Greetings, brother.
Congratulations.
- Greetings, brother.
- Greetings, brother.
Congratulations to everyone.
Rafiq bhai is very pleased
with the success of the mission.
People across the world
are sending their blessings.
Where is Shadab?
He has a fever.
He's resting inside.
Shadab.
Brother.
Now what we have is this number.
And this sketch the
landlord helped us make.
It's not the same guy.
Relax
It's not too severe.
Next time I'll bring some medication.
Congratulations, Zarar bhai.
You too.
You've been blessed with His grace
at a very young age.
We must keep marching forward.
I
miss my family, brother Zarar.
Cry.
Crying lightens the burden.
But if you want to reach your goal,
then you must rise above these emotions.
Yes, brother.
See you.
Take care.
Abbas.
Yes, brother.
- Take care of Shadab.
- Yes, brother.
Take his ID, and mobile,
keep it safe with you.
Sure, brother.
People make mistakes in their weak moments
that everyone has to pay the price of.
Delhi Police.
Did anyone buy nails and
ball bearings in large quantities,
in the last couple of days?
No, sir, there was no one.
Show me your receipts.
Sure.
That's done. Show me the CCTV footage.
- Doesn't work, sir.
- What?
Doesn't work?
Why is it there?
For display.
Get rid of it.
Idiot.
Does it work?
Yes, it does.
Fast forward. Hurry up.
Let it be. Tell me
Is there any other
large hardware store in the area?
Yes, there is one two blocks away.
- This way?
- Yes, sir.
You can check with them.
Was it him?
Yes, sir. That's the guy.
He just bought a large quantity
of materials in a sack.
Sir, that's Abdul.
He bought hardware from various shops
in large quantities.
Poses as a confectioner on Lodhi Road.
I think we should question him, sir.
Pick up that moron.
Sir. It's him.
They wouldn't let us work on the farms,
or pay our wages.
I had no choice. Had to run away.
First Ahmedabad then Delhi.
First Ahmedabad
then Delhi.
Where did you pick up the skill?
In Delhi.
From who?
My mentor.
Where did you buy the material?
Sangeeta's.
And what material was it?
Mawa, pistachio, Katran, nutmeg.
Idiot.
You bought materials to make Laddoos
from a hardware store.
You've been taking us
for a ride for half an hour.
Does this seem funny to you?
Warmed up yet?
Now answer correctly.
I stole a buffalo once, sir.
I already confessed to it.
Buffalo.
You asshole
Did you buy bomb-making materials or not?
Bomb?
What bomb?
The bomb for which you bought nails
and ball bearings.
Nails and ball bearings.
Out with it, son.
Do you have a death wish?
Speak. Now.
- I did.
- Why did you buy it?
For Khan sir.
Who's Khan sir?
Owner of Naaz Sweets, sir.
Naaz Sweets.
Yes, sir. I work there.
He said there was repair work going
on in his house.
He gave me a list of materials,
which I bought for him, sir.
That's all I know.
Jai Hind, sir.
Jai Hind.
We got our hands on a big piece
of information.
We have to meet.
I am already late.
You never pay attention.
You are like a peacock.
And the size of your
brain is of a peacock.
What can I do if the scooter broke down?
What can I do?
You're the son of a mechanic.
Does it look nice dragging your scooter
in the neighborhood?
Only Papa can get his scooter started.
And why don't you learn
to ride it yourself?
It's always, "Moin, Moin!"
You'll be coming with me as dowry.
My peacock.
Don't touch the hair.
I have a reputation in this neighborhood.
Just keep pushing.
Moin.
What happened?
It broke down again.
Sit. I'll push.
Come on.
- I'm sitting.
- Your peacock has flown away, sister.
- Moin!
- Sorry!
There is no need for this tube light.
I won't be staying too long now.
You're leaving?
Is it because of
what I said in the morning?
I didn't mean it that way
No, not at all.
My job here is done.
I have no reason to stay.
So
When will I see you again?
Whenever the king summons,
the perfume maker will be at her service.
Wow.
I have to admit, Kabir.
You know the best hangouts in Delhi.
You know, this was one of the main
reasons I wanted you on my team.
- This?
- Not this restaurant.
I needed a guy who knew Delhi
like the back of his hand.
Sir, maybe not Delhi,
but I found out about this place
because of Rashmi.
You know she was such a big foodie.
This was her favorite restaurant, sir.
Mom always said this about my father
"Those who leave us early,
are the hardest ones to forget."
Once this mission is over,
then I am going to order you
to take a break.
Pain like this doesn't heal in two days.
No, sir.
Duty is the only place
where the memories don't haunt me.
What's the scene with Shetty ma'am?
She's a devil.
A big one.
But bloody good officer.
She always gets results.
She was in my batch with me.
There were three of us.
Me, Shetty and Jagtap.
So where is Jagtap sir?
He's in R&AW.
- Here in Delhi?
- No.
Then?
Can't tell you.
Protocol.
Sir is here.
- Jai Hind, sir.
- Jai Hind. Jai Hind.
Sit.
Where's the food?
We were waiting for you.
Oh, please
Why?
- Don't cops feel hungry?
- It's okay.
Enjoy.
Whether we're in uniform or not,
people can tell when there's a cop around.
Sir, we detained a confectioner today.
Based on the lead we got from him,
we suspect Khan sir
is involved in the blast.
- Mr.
- Khan?
Who is that?
Owner of Naaz Sweets.
Naaz Sweets?
He's probably not the mastermind
behind the blasts,
but he's definitely involved.
He helped to get the blast materials.
But Khan is a religious leader.
And he's also politically well-connected.
This could lead
to a law and order situation.
I can't take a risk.
The whole world is blaming
the Delhi Police right now.
We have to fight back.
This is an important lead for us, sir.
The money must be coming from his shop.
It must be a front for money laundering.
If we don't act soon,
there's no telling
where they'll strike next.
We cannot arrest anyone based on
suspicion and theory, Kabir.
I am sorry.
Anyway, thanks for the dinner.
Most welcome, sir.
See you.
- Sir.
- Yes, sir.
You guys also get some rest.
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.
- Goodnight.
- Bye.
- Jai Hind, sir.
- Jai Hind.
Kabir,
when I was your age,
I disobeyed my senior
and arrested a suspect.
Later,
I apologized.
You can too.
We'll handle the rest.
Right, Vikram?
Right, Kabir?
Right, sir.
On that note,
Mishra's betel leaf is on me.
- At this hour?
- We'll make it happen.
We're the Delhi Police.
- Greetings, Rafiq bhai.
- Greetings.
Congratulations on the success
of the mission.
Best wishes are coming in
from across the world.
Thank you.
The students are tired.
They want a break.
After a tough exam like this,
they deserve a break.
The money will be delivered to you.
When will we go to Iran?
When the time is right.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Old Delhi?
Moin, listen.
Look at me.
At least hear me out.
Listen to me.
Look at me.
Please, stop. You made me lose.
Find a guy, get married, and leave.
You'll cry the most when I leave.
- Okay.
- Understood.
I've said this before.
No fidgeting with my hair.
Don't trouble the poor guy too much!
Poor guy?!
We'll talk when you've
spent 21 years with him.
He's a brat.
It's my job to bother him.
Of course.
In fact, Moin reminds me of Sikku.
Who is Sikku?
My younger brother.
I see.
Where is he?
He's always wandering around for work.
Like me.
So you all come from a family of nomads.
What about mom and dad?
They passed away in an accident
when I was young.
Oh!
How?
Haider?
Some other time.
- Our Haj application has been accepted?
- Yes.
But we never filed any application.
Please check this form.
Is the name correct?
Yes.
And the number?
Now what we have is this number.
Trace this number.
This is Shadab's number.
Yes.
He's made all the bookings, auntie.
- Shadab?
- Yes.
Jamila, did you hear?
Shadab wants to send us
on a Haj Pilgrimage.
Is that Shadab in the picture,
sister-in-law?
Yes.
Auntie, can I get a glass of water?
Yes, of course.
Come, Jamila.
Yes, mother.
Look, mister.
It's been two months.
That idiot hasn't called us once.
I wonder what mess he's involved in.
Look,
one can't go to Haj with borrowed,
stolen, or illicit money.
We don't even know
what means Shadab used to earn this money.
So we are going nowhere.
But, listen
Thank you.
Jai Hind, sir.
Affirmative.
It's Shadab.
The number and description
you sent are a match.
I am sending pictures for confirmation.
- Jai Hind, sir.
- Jai Hind.
Khan is in our sight, sir.
He's at an amphitheater in Pitampura.
Amphitheater? What is Khan doing there?
My guess is he's waiting for someone.
Then you guys wait too. See what happens.
Okay, sir.
We'll arrest him at the first chance.
Good. Make sure it's a soft arrest.
Don't create a scene in public.
Done, sir.
Jai Hind.
Follow that boy.
Don't let him out of your sight.
I'll go get Khan.
Let's go.
- Greetings, Mr. Khan.
- Hel--
Going somewhere. Can I offer you a lift?
Pardon me but I don't recognize you.
That's because I am not in uniform today.
Kabir Malik. Delhi Police.
Shall we, Mr. Khan?
Mr. Khan has asked for Danish
to be picked up.
Why? What happened?
Something important has come up at home.
Look, we don't allow children out
of the school without an application.
- The school has some rules
- Madam,
Delhi Police. We'll take care of it.
Let's go.
Hi, Danish.
We're your grandpa's friends.
We're taking you to see him. Okay?
Sit inside.
I'll check it.
Sikku.
- My love.
- My dearest Brother!
- I missed you.
- Me too.
Arrangements for your vacation.
I spoke to Rafiq sir.
He said the Principal is very happy.
Wow.
Soon we'll be summoned.
Let me kiss your hands,
IM Commander Zarar.
Sikku.
We'll leave tomorrow.
Tell me
Any call from Kanpur?
Doesn't matter.
Are you hungry?
- Famished.
- Biryani?
- Did you make it?
- Made by me.
- Come on!
- Let's go.
Grandpa!
This is not funny.
Danish's school was on my way.
We thought since we're meeting with you,
why don't we pick him up too?
Come, sit.
Grandpa, are you coming
with us to Qutub Minar?
Yes.
Danish, come here.
First, we must have an important
conversation with your grandpa.
Is that okay?
Right. Thanks.
Danish.
Do you know what happened
in Delhi a couple of days ago?
- DCP sir.
- Yes.
I saw it on the news.
There was a bomb blast.
Bravo. Smart boy.
We are Delhi Police.
We are trying to catch
the bad guys who did this.
And
we need your grandpa's help.
- Of course! My grandpa helps everyone.
- Sir.
So, Mr. Khan,
will you help the Delhi police?
Who are these people?
The child is asking all
the right questions, Mr. Khan.
Danish.
Go fetch my glasses from the car.
- Yes, Grandpa.
- Go on.
What you are doing is wrong?
Save your speech for those you influence.
Who are these people?
He would come to
the shop to collect the delivery.
Name?
Maybe Shadab.
I cannot be sure.
What was the delivery?
Are you deaf?
The first time, it was 2,00,000 rupees.
And the second time--
Nails and ball bearings.
And the other guy.
I never met the other guy.
My job
was to deliver money.
Like you did today.
I swear
I didn't know it would lead to such chaos.
They said this was the last job.
They will never--
What was the amount?
Five lakh rupees.
Who contacted you and how?
Don't know.
They called from different numbers.
Is this money for their escape
or the next attack?
You are the police.
That's for you to find out.
We are religious people.
You've made a mockery out of us.
Shut up.
We brought you here to avoid the chaos.
Or we could have charged you
with sections 123A and 153A
and detained you in the police station.
We want two days of your time, Mr. Khan.
For a long chat.
We'll have someone drop the kid home.
- Oh, stop it!
- I swear on you, uncle.
One slipper in her hands
and the other still on her leg.
- The way she chased us.
- Yes
Since then she was known as
"Langdi Khalla" in the neighborhood.
I swear.
- Auntie.
- Yes.
If you keep feeding us like this,
I won't be able to leave tomorrow.
Then don't go, Haider.
So what plans do you have for the future?
One last job left on this trip.
Then with Allah's grace,
I'll start my business
in Iran and settle down.
What rubbish?
What about marriage?
When we were your age,
Nafeesa was already four years old.
Right?
Business isn't going anywhere.
Get married.
You are absolutely right, auntie.
What will you do
in your empty house in Iran?
Get married.
The time has come.
Right, Nafeesa?
What?
Marriage?
Yes or no?
If you really love someone
and intend to abide by it, then yes.
But if you're planning on wandering
around like a nomad, then no.
Nafeesa.
You are wrong.
What you said during dinner.
I have the determination
and the intention.
And if someone is waiting for you at home,
it makes you want to return.
If you keep talking to me
in riddles, I'm going.
Nafeesa!
I love you unconditionally,
I've never felt this way
about anyone before.
I'll always keep you happy,
no matter where you go,
you will always be this nomad's home.
Will you marry me?
I'll think about it.
Shit man, I guess I am very late.
- Hi, Zara.
- You can even get a beating today.
- Papa.
- Hey, champ.
But where's my bicycle?
Give me a hug first, birthday boy!
Happy birthday!
Your bicycle is arriving
tomorrow. Promise.
That too fiery red.
- Promise?
- Happy birthday, Aayush.
- Thank you, uncle.
- Happy birthday.
But, uncle, where is my gift?
Your gift
Your bicycle that is arriving
tomorrow is from me.
- What rubbish?
- Papa!
- It's the same thing.
- You guys are here.
- Hi!
- Thank you, Kabir.
Why are you thanking him?
Because I know him.
He must have reminded you of the party.
You underestimate your husband a lot.
In fact, I was ready.
We were late because of Kabir.
I see.
Right, Kabir.
Because of me?
Leave it, Kabir. I know him too well.
- Here. Have some cake.
- Sister-in-law Thank you.
Did you already cut the cake?
- Of course!
- Yes.
- The cake was cut and it's finished.
- What?
- Only two pieces were left. One is here.
- It's tasty.
And where is the other?
The other piece is here.
Sorry, I ate your cake.
You didn't tell me Tara was in Delhi.
I invited her to the party
when she called.
Now that you are here,
please stay for dinner.
Inviting me so politely.
Is the food poisoned?
You forgot to invite me.
But I showed up since
it was Aayush's birthday.
See you guys.
Wait, Shetty. Where are you going?
To meet my boyfriend.
You have a boyfriend? I pity him.
Stay for dinner.
Not this time, Shruti.
I have a meeting.
- Happy birthday, Aayush.
- Thank you.
Here. I saved it for you.
Eat it.
What a strange woman!
- As strange as they get.
- Ma'am, one family photo.
- Yes, of course. Family photo.
- Sure.
Alright. Come on.
Where are you going?
Didn't you hear? It's a family photo.
Come on.
- No, please.
- Come on.
Come on, uncle.
Come on.
What you are seeking is seeking you.
Meaning?
Meaning
What's the point, Mohsin?
Leave it.
Mohsin, get the candles.
You know where you kept them. Go get it.
God
Check that cupboard. Check it.
I wonder when power will be restored.
It's just a candle,
not a ball which only I can retrieve.
You leave stuff around,
and we have to find it.
Stop fighting you guys.
On top of that, power's out.
Did you find it?
I knew you kept it.
It's the last one.
Hello.
Hello, Mom.
- Shadab.
- Yes, Mom.
Come quickly, Jamila. It's Shadab.
Hello, Shadab. Where are you?
Mom, please talk one at a time.
How are you, Son?
When are you coming home?
I am fine.
I'll be back home soon.
Pandey, alert Vikram sir.
We found the boys.
