Organic Honey
Sorry, sir, we're closing now.
- Do you need anything?
- No.
Sorry, yeah,
can I get one lemon tea please?
- Sure.
- Thanks.
This is your lemon tea, sir.
- Some honey?
- Fuck man!
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
- By mistake
- No, it's fine, sir.
Look I
I need to go.
Can I just pay for this please?
Actually I'm in a bit of a rush.
Sir, it's fine.
Are you all right?
Sir?
Sir
What do I do?
I have a business meeting tomorrow.
I came to prepare for that but
I've no idea what I'm doing.
Doesn't seem like that.
Look at me.
I'm a mess.
Who would invest in me?
He's cute, right?
Me perhaps.
You?
Really?
Yeah.
Depends on your pitch.
Okay, so
This is basically my family business
so we're essentially
a small cottage agri business
manufacturing honey, jam, peanut butter
and essentially the business is doing
pretty well, we're showing
business profits in Q3. Sorry, Q4
and we request an investment of
- Crap!
- It's okay.
Stop, it's fine.
You repeated the word business
too many times!
Calm down.
Take a breath.
Take a breath.
Look,
when you want something in life,
anything at all,
stop chasing it.
Be it money or boyfriend.
Boyfriend?
He's straight.
Then girlfriend?
Actually I recently broke up.
Should I score one?
Look mister,
people
don't invest in a business
But in people.
In people's stories.
What do you make?
- Honey, jam, peanut butter.
- Yes.
- So, Mr
- Jimmy.
Not you but the client
- Oh, Sanghvi.
- Sanghvi.
Look Mr Sanghvi,
both these cups have tea
but there's a world of difference
in their taste.
Hold the cup.
Sip it.
That tea is made in a factory with
artificial additives and processed honey.
With one sip you endorse that brand
and pay for the models and publicity.
And this
Have it.
This is made in a home based small plant,
all natural honey.
What?
100% organic honey.
Amazing!
Incredible!
- C'mon.
- No, I mean it.
You have magic in your voice
and your eyes.
Have him by the balls!
What?
No, I mean your language
And the way you speak.
No, no
There's magic in my eyes too
Really.
Look,
there's a sunflower in my pupil.
Come, look.
Saw it?
Yes.
Beautiful.
Told you have him by the balls!

Did you see it or was it just me?
The oldie was walking?
- Hi.
- Hello.
How are you?
Me?
Me? Who else, asshole!
What a great sense of humour you have!
I need your help.
Of course, tell me.
Do you have Bobby?
Yes, I'll get some today.
Let's smoke up together in the evening.
- See you.
- See you.
Can you spare some for now?
Thanks.
Get me my towel.
Yes, Bapai ji.
Hurry up.
I am feeling cold.
Here.
Who was it?
Nobody, it's Barua uncle's guest.
He lost his way.
Thank you, bye!
Bloody hell!
Fuck a Duck!
Such a bloody idiot!
Where's the damn lighter?
Oh god, the bloody lighter!
Check near the lamp, aunty.
I never wanted to compromise on my freedom
so I didn't marry.
I never had to beg.
I always managed.
But then
age,
a new ailment every day,
expenses
It was relentless.
I didn't know what to do.
I couldn't think of anything.
Then I remembered my insurance.
Same compensation for death
or becoming an invalid.
So, I made my choice.
- Thank god!
- Stupid, idiot.
Oh god!
Move aside.
Ready.
Hit me.
Bapai ji!
Go on, hit me!
Bloody hell!
I understand, Miss Bharucha.
But at the end of the day, it's a fraud.
Cheating.
No, it's helplessness.
Ronny's salary isn't enough
to buy me weed.
Will you send me to jail at this age?
- Please, Charlie
- Charlie, you're here?
Why?
I've been looking for you.
What?
A new twist has come up
in the Manali murder mystery.
Police investigation under the scanner.
Flames of love flare up.
Famous writer Manas Dabral
is now a suspect.
After his novels flopped,
Manas owed a huge debt to banks.
To cover up this lie, he lied even more.
In fact,
he gave a false testimony to the police.
On the night of the murder,
he wasn't in Chandigarh but in Manali.
How did he get those photos?
Listen to me
I won't listen to you!
You destroyed my family.
How will I face my customers
and neighbours?
- Saloni
- Charlie?
Is this true?
Janki aunty, I can explain.
I did click pictures of those documents
Charlie,
please
leave.
Varun!
- I just
- Charlie,
leave.
Just leave.
Charlie, calm down and think.
This was our only option.
Yes,
this was the only option
for your promotion and channel ratings.
Why don't you understand?
The police department is shaken up.
The commissioner has ordered
an enquiry but you
In your own words, Narayan
was hell-bent on hanging Jimmy, right?
I am a fool.
It's all my fault.
I forgot you're one of those journalists
who can deceive the nation
for his channel's ratings so who am I!
I'm sorry.
Deceive?
If I wanted to deceive you,
I'd do nothing at all.
I'd let Jimmy hang.
I'd just sit and watch you lose
in the court.
One more Romeo in my life!
Meaning?
Meaning!
You know it.
You needn't go anywhere.
It's time for me to go
away from you
forever.
How much longer, sir?
- It's been two hours.
- Sir is coming.
Who's coming?
- You called us and made us wait.
- Calm down.
Which sir is coming?
- Mom
- Here she is.
There's no heater, I'm freezing.
Everyone's here now.
We have orders to investigate
all of you thoroughly.
Okay?
So, think before giving your statements
for you can't retract it later.
Okay?
Where are you, Champak?
I went to get tea made with pure milk.
- Keep it.
- Here you go.
Here, madam.
- Pure milk. - No, thanks.
- All right,
let's start one by one.
Which biscuits do you like?
Wheat or anything else?
Check if the sugar is okay.
Wait!
We don't have the permission
to investigate her.
Sorry, sir.
All right,
have biscuits and give your statement.
Go on.
"We live secretly."
"Amidst people."
"No destination."
"Or path."
"But we keep moving."
"The shadow is maligned."
"The body is missing."
"The face is invisible."
Breaking news.
The motive behind Brigadier Rawat's
murder has been found.
The murderer Jimit Nautiyal was being
blackmailed by his secret lover
and the accused was in dire need of money
to pay this blackmailer.
We are now going to show you a clip
that has been leaked to us
by a source close to the accused.
Go slow!
Yes, baby. So good.
Oh my god!
Carefully.
You want some honey?
You want some honey?
You want some?
Want some organic honey?
Want some organic honey?
Oh yes.
Yes!
Yes!
Hello, mom?
I just reached.
No, I'm fine.
Everything's fine.
No, nothing much.
I have a joke to share.
May I?
Okay.
A man's wife is dying.
She says before dying
I have a burden on my chest.
I want to tell you the truth before I die.
I was having an affair with your
best friend.
The husband says
I too have a burden to get off my chest.
You aren't dying of a disease.
I poisoned you!
I too poisoned my wife
He is not the murderer.
But that bugger will hang for sure.
You too gave me poison though.
And I wasn't even at fault!
You know,
I truly miss
your long fingers and your touch.
Please come back once.
Don't come.
Basically,
you are just going to even them out.
By chopping the edges this way.
It helps shorten them
and also smoothens the end.
That's how you would like it.
Right?
You can use your
I saw you.
Open up!
What?
You're peeping through the hole.
Didn't you see?
I did.
Open up quickly.
He's peeping.
- He's peeping.
- Hurry up!
Can you see anything?
Come out. Open the window.
Hurry up.
Wait.
Me too.
- You want to see?
- Here you go.
She's inside?
Right?
Open up now.
All of us
are waiting here
Come quick.
Come quick.
I see you.
Fuck a Duck!
Madam!
Madam, where are you going?
Sir
I want to see him one last time.
What for?
The umbilical cord is not severed yet.
Look, I am ashamed of myself
You said when you went back to get
the keys, uncle didn't open the door.
How did you know he was inside?
I saw him.
Saw him?
He peeked through the peep hole.
Uncle!
Uncle, I know you're inside.
As per the post-mortem report
he had died an hour earlier.
Then who was inside?
Obviously the killer.
He saw you there and decided to frame you.
Charlie.
May I say something?
You are generous.
I don't deserve to be forgiven
yet you came back to me.
Thanks.
I didn't come back for you.
Then?
Chopras don't leave cases unsolved.
There's a lawn that way
It's great during the spring
amazing
Come in.
Three rooms this side,
upper area
This is your palace.
We wouldn't sell it if circumstances
were different.
Actually it's a distress sale.
Consider yourselves lucky.
Let's start from here.
Check out the first floor.
What's up there?
Sir, see it for yourself.
Come.
This is an attic of treasures.
No, don't bother.
We'll anyway redesign the top floor.
Oh, okay.
Yes, the brigadier was old fashioned.
Okay.
When you reached the brigadier's bungalow,
was there someone else inside?
No.
Why do you ask?
Jimmy is sure when he went back to get
the keys, someone else was there.
What?
Who?
He couldn't see.
But he's sure someone was inside.
Wait a minute!
When I reached there that night,
Hanif was present.
My father came here 50 years ago
during the 1971 war.
He got a job in Assam
That's where he met mom and married her.
I was born in India.
Dad had no documents.
Nobody ever asked for them.
Then one day, the police came
and started interrogating.
They said we're refugees.
Illegal.
We were to be deported to Bangladesh.
We had to pack our bags
and flee overnight.
I was a cleaner at the brigadier's office.
He brought me home one day.
And when he got to know
you're an illegal migrant,
you killed him.
NO!
The brigadier was like a god to us.
We would give our lives for him.
He wouldn't have known about it had
he not revealed the truth.
Even after I forbid him.
Why are you telling me this?
What's your motive?
No,
there's no motive, sir.
You have done a lot for us.
If the police come looking for us,
you'll land in trouble.
That's all.
It was weighing on my heart.
What if I hand you over to the police?
It's okay, sir.
I'm ready.
Anything you want.
You're safe here.
Nobody can touch you as long as I'm here.
How long were you outside the house
before the colonel reached
on the night of the murder?
About 10-15 minutes.
Did you see anyone pass?
There was a blizzard that night, madam.
Everyone was in their homes.
Don't go missing again.
Or you'll surely get deported.
Did you find the brigadier's shoes?
No.
Which shoes?
The killer stole the brigadier's shoes.
Really?
When did you start smoking?
I quit three years ago for Jimmy.
Now that Jimmy's gone
That's a beautiful necklace.
Hmm? Oh
Thank you.
Looks expensive.
This? Oh no!
It's fake.
Get it checked, aunty.
Somebody fooled you.
Handed you a real one calling it a fake.
Sorry.
Sorry.
See you, good night.
I'll leave for Chandigarh early morning
to be with Negi ji.
Why?
His nephew's getting engaged.
We'll be back day after.
Please look after the house.
Okay, good night.
And yourself too.
- Do you need anything?
- No.
Sorry, yeah,
can I get one lemon tea please?
- Sure.
- Thanks.
This is your lemon tea, sir.
- Some honey?
- Fuck man!
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.

I need to go.
