Snakes and Ladders (2024) s01e02 Episode Script

1
Rico.
I'm sorry, my son.
- Sorry for your loss.
- Thank you.
How did this happen?
He got into a quarrel, sir.
Some random guy, inconsiderate
of his old age…
bare-knuckled him.
What kind of a sick bugger
can do something like this?
Get lost!
Why did you hit the dog?
- The stupid dog keeps barking.
- So what?
It's after all a dog.
After all a dog?
Father?
Even Silk's photo gets me excited.
What the heck!
Not a single joker!
Dammit!
Now which bonehead refused booze and food?
Well…
How many times has this happened?
Haven't I paid you on time
and kept you safe after every job?
Just one little setback
and you're protesting?
I'll kill you.
Boss assured us that we'd get
a good cut once the work's done.
You'll get your cut as promised.
Understood?
Yes.
Continue with the game.
- Bodyguard, my foot! Get lost!
- Boss…
Imbecile!
Hey! Paari!
Rico.
We aren't sure that Paari
and Blade are in this together.
That's why I didn't let
any of our guys lay hands on him.
Rico!
- But why, Rico?
- Look at that now!
"Friendship is not more smile on a face.
It is the smiling heart’s embrace"
Raagitha!
Is Revathy your mom?
Your mom will be monitored inside the ICU.
The chief doctor will explain
the rest to you. Okay?
Okay.
Any elders accompanying you?
Alright.
Speak up!
- Tell us what you know, you piece of…
- Spit it out.
Open up, you jerk!
If you try to defy me,
I will thrash you to death.
Speak!
This isn't working.
- Speak!
- Call, sir.
He won't flinch even
after severe bashing.
- Chezhian.
- Yes, sir.
- Done?
- Almost, sir.
Hope you haven't injured his face.
Why do you ask, sir?
Are we taking him to the court?
Mr. Chezhian?
Welcome.
You tied me to a swing
and thrashed me.
And then put me on
a queen bed and bashed me.
No use.
There…
that cop with the nice love handles,
he looks heavily beefed-up, doesn't he?
But he's a complete waste.
But the lady Sub Inspector…
I have to admit it.
Every punch of hers landed like thunder.
Female cop…
I salute you!
- Sathyan!
- Sir, take a look.
No, it must look like him.
But not exactly like him.
This looks way too original.
Redo it.
Sir, can we let him go if he tells us
about Airaa?
How long can we keep doing
this to him?
Let him just stay inside, Chezhian.
Why should we let such
a mongrel out?
Also, if we let him out…
everyone will know that
we held him.
Airaa's syndicate runs deep.
We will be inviting trouble.
By the way,
any update on the local
burglary case?
They have marked the wall and
broken into the house.
Definitely, they are not localites.
If they have marked the house…
check if there are any other
reported cases of theft.
Okay.
They would have targeted
weak houses.
- Keep an eye on those types of houses.
- Yes, sir.
Let's go.
What do you want at this late hour?
What the hell have you done?
Don't shout.
Please keep it down.
What did you do?
I didn't do anything.
Does anyone else know?
Only you guys.
We have to inform the cops.
It was an inadvertent act.
What's inadvertent about it?
Locking him inside?
Or not helping him when he desperately
banged to open the door?
Already Vinay's dad is pissed off
with him.
If he catches him, Gi-Gi…
Gilly is a goner.
After such a long time, I thought finally
I could live with my dad and mom.
But if the police get involved now…
Irai, is there any way your dad
can help us?
Hey, my dad is just a Sub-Inspector.
He is a subordinate
to Rajendran uncle.
Okay. You guys take a call.
I'm leaving.
If my dad finds out,
he'll rip off my skin.
Sit down.
Would you be okay if we were to dump you
when you were in a similar situation?
Let's ask Raagi's mom for help.
That won't work.
Trust me.
Let's seek help from the police.
He'll definitely end up in jail.
Forget going to Raagi's mom
or the cops.
Let's take care of this on our own.
- Got it?
- You think it's that easy?
We are kids. Handling this
won't be as easy as you think.
That's why I suggested to tell the police
the truth and seek their help.
Yeah, do that but you won't return.
I'm sure Raagi's mom would help us.
What if she informs the police?
That's why I suggest we go to the police.
Why don't you ask your dad
to help us out?
I'd rather go to jail myself.
You realize that, right?
We must handle it on our own.
I'm right.
Open the door!
- As if he knows everything.
- Open the door!
Gilly, follow his advice
and you'll get caught by the cops.
Get lost.
Listen to me.
Shut up!
You know nothing.
Open the door!
Stop it!
To be honest…
I'm guilty of what I did.
I admit that.
Have any of you guys lived away
from your parents?
Have you, Irai?
What about you, Sandy?
You've never been separated
from your parents.
I haven't seen my mom and dad
in more than five years now.
They only see me through
photos and videos.
Is that the case for you guys?
Each and every time…
your mom and dad drop you off at school
and kiss you goodbye, right?
And you, Irai…
when you leave for school,
your mom will run behind you
making sure you had your breakfast, right?
Do you guys have any idea
how that makes me feel?
After all these years…
I get to live with my parents.
Not even God can change this.
If you guys are true friends,
then stand by me.
Else, back off and leave now.
I will handle it myself.
Go, talk to him.
Alright! We are there for you.
Let's think of a plan.
I already have a plan.
What are you doing?
This is to identify him.
Listen…
let's fill it up.
Are you freaking kidding me?
Why didn't you tell us about this earlier?
Well…
had I told you earlier,
we'd have got the wrong ideas.
Shall we surrender just these jewels
to the police?
Spare a thought for the poor victims.
Are you nuts?
We can't do anything about this.
We will be in trouble if we try
to exchange or sell it.
No! I didn't mean to sell it.
Maybe we can do one thing.
We shall keep it with us,
and sell it after five years.
If it was cash, it'd be of some use.
But these are jewels.
Isn't it risky?
Look at what we are doing!
Just like he said,
it is giving us wrong th-th-thoughts.
You see that?
What's that?
It looks like
somebody's ancestral jewelry.
- Show me.
- Here you go.
Like one from
the movie "Nalai Namadhey"?
Show me.
Looks like a property of
Shakespeare to me.
Stop kidding.
Gilly!
Crap!
Your grandpa is coming.
Run!
- What the hell is he doing here?
- Where are you guys going?
What is this?
Why are you still awake?
I'll sleep in some time, Grandpa.
Why haven't you slept yet?
I was hearing some weird sounds.
Where are your friends?
There they are.
Are you guys watering the plants?
Very good. Good boys.
What's happening?
Come soon. It's already pretty late.
Come out, you cowards!
I see no hint of fear in you.
My grandpa can't remember a thing.
He is an Alzheimer's patient.
Also, his vision is weak.
We could've asked
your grandpa's help in all this.
Raagi, how is your mom doing now?
Doctors insist that she must be
in the ICU.
She is yet to gain consciousness.
Didn't Irai come with you?
No, dear.
Irai has no idea about this.
I was out of town officially.
How is your health?
Irai always talks highly of your mom.
Don't worry.
We can surely find the culprits.
Raagi.
Raagi!
You said there were two of them, right?
A thief has attempted
to murder the victim.
This is not a robbery case.
But…
their intention was not to kill your mom.
So…
no burglar's gang would
entertain such an assault.
Because…
that will only invite trouble for them.
If my guess is right, they'd be brawling
among themselves by now.
There is something concrete
in our law book.
He would have definitely left some
minor clue that could lead us to him.
A clue that is indestructible.
It's my job to find them.
Okay?
I promise.
- Leo!
- Yes?
As you ordered, the locket
from the museum…
was stolen by Blade and Paari.
- But…
- But what?
We have Paari.
But Blade and the locket
are missing.
Do not worry, Leo.
I will nab that crook Blade within
24 hours, no matter where he is.
