Kathmandu Connection (2021) s01e02 Episode Script

The Big Game

What did you do on your birthday?
Nothing. I was bored.
I went to bed early
after having dinner.
You must have got gifts.
Ma'am.
Someone sent this gift for you.
Buddy, who is he?
Hey!
'Belated Happy Birthday'
You are welcomed with a rose.
Who is this lover?
He is celebrating your birthday
one day late.
Let's just go to the class. Come on.
It's just a rose. It's no big deal.
'Belated Happy Birthday, Shivani.
I am sorry for being late.'
Hi!
My birthday was yesterday.
It's so crazy.
What is this?
Hero!
What is this?
- A cassette! Wow!
What a lovely gesture!
Om!
Shivani.
I'd be lying
if I say that I wasn't surprised
to hear you say my name.
How do you know
I How
Do you want to know all
the answers today?
Anyway, leave it.
I am glad that you still
remember my poems.
Sunny, he killed Arora.
But he isn't telling us
who instructed him to kill Arora.
I know on whose instructions
you killed Arora.
Sir, how long will we wander
the streets like this?
Nobody is saying anything
about Mirza.
Congratulations.
Congratulations.
- Thank you.
Mr Mirza, how do you do it?
You won the election against
all the odds by a record margin.
Please tell us the secret behind it.
If I share the secret with you,
instead of you coming here,
I'll be congratulating you
at your house.
Mr Mirza, your call
Make yourself comfortable.
Make sure to have tea and snacks.
Please sit.
Come on.
Yes, greetings.
Greetings.
What do you want me to do?
Don't bother. I know what to do.
Sure.
Are you Chuhiya?
- No.
Be honest.
- No.
Are you telling the truth?
- No.
Okay. Go and study.
Did you like the gift?
You sold your shawl!
Thank you.
Tell me something. How is work?
All of them are glued to the TV
when you host a program.
Are you happy there?
Are you happy?
I am trying.
The rest is up to God.
Anyway, leave it.
Tell me something.
Have you found someone special yet?
Mom, please.
You know the answer and yet
Life moves on
whether we move forward or not.
How long will you hold on
to the past?
Don't you hold on to the past?
Have you forgotten everything?
Shivani, memories motivate us
to keep moving forward.
And the same memories
don't let me live in peace.
I'll deal with the government.
You need to manage the rest.
Don't let the cash flow stop.
Okay, sir.
Greetings.
You have made a name
for yourself in UP.
But nobody appreciated you.
No worries.
I have bought a casino.
I want you to work there.
And operate everything from there.
Okay.
What did you say your name was?
I haven't said it yet.
What would you have said if you had?
Om Prakash Sharma.
The name sounds older than you.
Are you fond of cricket?
- Yes.
Who is your favourite player?
Sunil Gavaskar.
Wow! He is my favourite player too.
Here is your new name.
Sunny.
Sunny.
Goodbye.
I trust you, Sunny.
I also trusted you, Mr Mirza.
What do you mean you trusted me?
You know everything.
I want to hear it from you.
Wazid dragged my name into
the Mumbai blast case to clear his name,
and you didn't do anything.
On what basis you make
this allegation?
Who leaked my name to Sandeep Garg,
the Commissioner of Customs?
Why did you kidnap Arora?
Arora was kidnapped
to keep him safe.
But here is my question.
Why was it necessary to kill him?
He was killed
because he was the only person
who could have testified in my favour,
and my name would have been cleared
from the Mumbai blast case.
Wazid didn't want that to happen,
nor did you.
You are an MP.
Look after your parliament.
I'll handle the business.
Sunny, the business is bigger
than all of us.
Whether we are there or not,
the business goes on.
Neither of us can survive
if we make Wazid our enemy.
I'll survive.
You think about yourself.
I have to do that.
Take care of yourself.
You also take care
of yourself, Mr Mirza.
One more thing.
If possible, pass my message
to Wazid.
It would be better
if he doesn't cross my path.
Goodbye.
Let's see whose threat
turns out to be effective.
Hello.
- Shivani, it's Samarth.
Where are you?
You disappeared after we met
the other day. Is everything fine?
Do you have any connections
in Kathmandu
who can help us find someone?
You are in Kathmandu!
Yes, do you know anyone?
Yes, there is a local correspondent.
Parshuram Ghimire.
I will ask him to contact you.
But who are you looking for?
I'll tell you everything later.
I'll hang up now.
I'll call you later.
Hold on, Samarth.
I want to tell you something.
- Yes, go ahead.
I know who had been calling me.
Who is he?
I had a classmate in my college
in Lucknow.
Om Prakash Sharma.
Om Prakash Sharma.
Who is he?
Ask Trilok to take the flight
to Lucknow today.
Why do you want him
to go to Lucknow, sir?
Why are you putting Trilok
in jeopardy?
At least, let him save his job.
I want to know all the details
about Om Prakash Sharma
as soon as possible.
Just ask him to go to Lucknow.
Samarth Kaushik.
- Yes, have a seat.
Parshuram Ghimire.
Shravan Mishra.
- Hi.
Please have a seat.
Shivani told me about you.
Tell me what exactly you want
to know.
Mirza Baig.
One coffee.
Sir, be careful when you take
this name here.
People get suspicious.
Look, we have some
unanswered questions.
Maybe Mirza will help us
connect all the dots together.
Sir, he is a respected politician.
He won the elections again
this time
The receptionist in our hotel already
shared all this information with us.
Do you have any other information?
The truth is,
he is the biggest smuggler here.
Illegal arms,
hawala, drugs,
alcohol, kidnapping, ransom
He is the undisputed king
of all these criminal activities.
He has so much money and power
to keep everyone in check.
No matter who forms the government,
no one can touch him.
What's his connection with India?
Wazid.
I mean the entire region
of Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Nepal
Mirza handles all the operations
in this region.
Mirza is Wazid's right-hand.
Mirza gives shelter to the people
who flee India and Pakistan
after committing crimes.
He creates new identities for them.
And makes them commit crimes.
What is his connection
with the Mumbai blasts?
Mumbai blasts!
I don't know.
And what's the deal with the casino?
It's the easiest way
to launder black money.
So, obviously, he doesn't run
the casino business, right?
Yes.
Then who runs it?
Nobody knows about him.
He works behind the scenes.
I want to meet Mirza Baig.
It's difficult, sir.
If he finds out
I mean, he must have known by now
that you are inquiring about him.
There is a risk to your life.
I'd suggest you go back.
You won't succeed here.
We register around 300 cases
in this police station every day.
We can't keep track of those cases.
And you came here to look for
a ten-year-old file!
Anyway, what did you say
the name was?
Om Prakash Sharma.
It's the most common name here.
I am sure we have at least 200 cases
filed against people with this name.
But you must be storing files
according to the years, right?
No, according to the colours.
What do you mean?
Look,
the file whose colour fades
automatically comes down.
You carry on. I'll send tea for you.
Om Prakash Sharma.
Yes. Do you know him?
I have seen so many cases,
but a few of them has
left a mark on me.
His father was a professor.
His brother was in the army.
And he was studying law
at Lucknow University.
He stabbed someone
during a clash there.
And Om Prakash Sharma was banished.
After that, nobody knows where he is.
Sunny.
These two are with Delhi Police.
They are inquiring about
the casino and Mirza Baig.
We have to hurry up.
Get ready.
Okay.
Sir, Arora's case has been closed.
To hell with Arora's case.
Sir, I thought we are here
to investigate that case.
Sir, what's going on in your mind?
Sir, I have tried my best,
but I couldn't understand you.
We were after Arora's kidnappers.
Then we found their dead bodies
in Pratapgarh.
Then we came to Kathmandu
to search for a person
about whom nobody is ready
to say anything.
We even met Ghimire.
But we couldn't find anything.
I feel like we're looking
for a needle in a haystack.
Forget it.
How long will we keep looking for it?
- Forget about Arora's case.
Garg died.
Then there were the bomb blasts.
We learned about Mirza Baig.
Even Hitesh shared information with us.
The two kidnappers died.
The case has become so high-profile.
And all you care about is Arora!
Forget about Arora.
Sir, I think something else is
bothering you.
What's bothering me?
Shivani Bhatnagar.
Yes, she is there too
- No, sir. All you care about is her.
Sir, I think
you get obsessed with things easily.
Now, you are obsessed
with Shivani Bhatnagar.
You want to be a hero.
You want to be famous.
What are you talking about?
Sir, I am not a hero.
Sir, I am a normal person.
I want to go to work.
I want to go home.
I have a family.
Don't I have a family?
Sir, you know the answer.
- What do you mean?
Everyone knows about your equation
with your family. - Mr Mishra.
Sir, don't force me
to open my mouth! - Mr Mishra!
Did Trilok find out anything about
Om Prakash?
Yes, sir. He did.
I asked him to come here tomorrow.
He'll share all the details with us.
I see. Good.
Sir, I have an idea.
If you want, I'll share it with you.
Yes, go ahead.
Sir, let's go to the casino.
We'll find out what's going on there.
The guy we are looking
for might be waiting for us there.
You should have told me that sooner
instead of creating a scene.
Greetings, Mr Mirza.
Greetings.
- Greetings, Mr Mirza.
How are you, Sunil?
You should have informed me
before coming here.
I thought it's my place.
I can come here any time I want.
So, I came here.
This is your place, Mr Mirza.
Had you informed me earlier,
I'd have made some special arrangements.
I was missing the old Sunny.
You did the right thing.
Please come.
Look, there is no credit limit today.
So, have fun.
And play freely.
I am glad that you came.
I still like you a lot.
Go and oversee the operations.
I'll rest here for a while.
Sure.
What permission do you need?
Sir, you can't go inside.
We know who runs the place.
Move aside.
No, sir.
- You let us in last time.
Yes, you let us in last time.
- No, sir. You can't go inside.
Get out of my way.
- You are misbehaving with us.
Guards!
I am sorry for your trouble, sir.
Please come.
You know, when we have
special guests in the casino,
we tighten up the security.
Such as Mirza Baig.
I think you are more interested
in meeting Baig than playing a game.
What if I say yes?
I'll introduce you to him.
But I have a condition
that you must satisfy.
What is it?
Play a poker game with me.
If you win, you'll meet Mr Mirza.
I am ready.
Good.
Please come.
Do you know how to play the game?
I have to play.
I don't have any other option.
There is no limit today.
So, play freely.
Sir, please think about it again.
Shall we start?
Yes.
I think this is your first trip
to Kathmandu.
You may say so.
Bet.
I don't think you are here on vacation.
Otherwise, you wouldn't be so eager
to meet Mr Mirza.
Call.
Raise.
Very good.
It's been a long time since I met a player
who wants to play a big game.
Call.
What did you say your name was?
I haven't said it yet.
Raise.
- Sir.
What would you have said if you had?
Call.
Show.
By the way, what do you do?
I am a player.
I play. I place bets.
And I win.
You're losing.
Think about it again, sir.
Sir, I don't think
you are going to win.
Because winning is my habit.
Exactly! Winning is my habit too.
Let's see how it goes.
Sunny, he wants to see you upstairs.
We'll take a break for five minutes.
Mr Mirza wants to see me.
I hope you don't mind.
- Not at all.
You'll also have time to think.
Trilok might have arrived.
I'll check whether he found
the hotel or not.
I'll be back.
- Come back soon.
You wanted to see me!
Would you like to have a drink?
- No.
In that case, let me finish
the task at hand.
I've tried my best
to convince you, but
You are too stubborn.
You don't listen to others.
I am answerable to someone.
It's nothing personal, you know.
Trilok.
Hail India, sir.
- When did you arrive?
Sir, it's been 30 minutes.
Sir
- Is this what you've got?
What does Om Prakash Sharma have
to do with our case?
I don't know what's going on
in his head
He is Om Prakash Sharma!
Yes, sir. What's the matter?
Hurry up.
- Where?
I hope I didn't keep you waiting
for too long.
Not at all.
Let's play a last game.
After that, you can meet Mr Mirza.
Thank you.
Please.
Raise.
Raise.
Raise.
All in. Show.
It's the last game, right?
All in.
Fantastic!
Great game.
Meet him.
Mr Mirza is waiting for you.
It was nice meeting you.
Same here.
Mr Mirza.
Mr Mirza.
'Nothing personal.'
'Nothing personal.'
'I won't spare you'
'What a coincidence, Mr Mirza!
- Sit!'
'We both chose the same place
and same day.'
'But you were a little late.'
'I considered you my father.'
Wait here. Be careful.
Sir, Om Prakash Sharma is the guy
you were playing with. Take a look.
Let's go.
Trilok.
- Yes, sir.
Did you see him, asle?
Where did he go?
Who?
Raise your hands, motherfker!
