The Indian Detective (2017) s01e04 Episode Script

1 Previously, on The Indian Detective.
Aarav burnt the wrong shack.
He was meant to kill Vimal's neighbor, Kadu.
This Kadu, does he have any family in Canada? A daughter Shari.
I know he's threatening you.
I can help if you'll let me.
Please call.
I saw Amal Chandekar at Shari Kadu's apartment.
He's planning to move another shipment across the border.
- What is it? - I am fine.
You need to go to the hospital.
- No.
- Now.
What skyscraper? He wants to build it over the Annapuri slum.
What happens to the people living there? You don't believe me, do you? You don't believe one word I've said.
But you believed the part where everyone laughed at me and thought I was a loser, right? Losers deserve a chance to prove they're not losers.
I may be Constable fourth class in Canada, but in India I'm a detective first class.
I know you must be in the air by now, Doug.
I'm pretty sure we just crossed the US border.
I've been stopped hours now, Doug.
I can't get GPS, I'm not sure why.
And my battery's about to die.
Your plane must have landed.
Please call when you get this.
It's freezing, Dougie.
Sir, no phones in the Customs area.
It's urgent.
I'll be done in a minute.
I'm afraid it's not possible.
It's literally a matter of life and death.
Sir, put your phone away or it will be confiscated.
It's cool, bro.
I'm a cop.
D'Mello? - You're Doug D'Mello? - Yeah.
- Do I know you? - No, but I know you.
We all do.
Hey guys, it's the bike guy! Hold on.
I hear voices.
All right.
So we're good tonight? - We're good to go.
- All right.
God, Doug, it's Amal.
He's He's what? Hey, do you have a cousin in India? Yeah.
- Does he drive a taxi? - No, he's a doctor.
Mr.
Stanley D'Mello? Mr.
D'Mello, how are you? There's a woman with cold hands trying to feed me.
Please wear oven mitts next time.
Shut up! His chi is very dim.
- What happened? - He was worried about Mr.
Doug.
He had arrhythmia.
Have you had this before? He is too proud to tell Mr.
Doug, but last week he had a heart attack.
He almost died.
Nothing so dramatic, Dattu, please.
Okay.
This is my number.
You keep me informed of his condition.
Devo.
Did you ever find the man who impersonated that inspector? - Not yet.
- Make sure you do.
I mean, please.
I will.
- Relax.
- Dattu? Go for a walk, please.
Thank you.
Come closer.
No.
Just relax.
Come closer.
We are in a hospital, not your bedroom.
Okay, not anymore.
You take that downtown area.
Hey, bro.
Do you even lift? Are you joking me, bro? - What are you wearing? - I'm doing my workouts at lunch.
- New stuff? - You bet.
- How was India? - Hot.
- Yeah.
What was her name? - I can't pronounce it.
But you would have loved her.
You would have gone up on her.
She was tall.
Technically, you're still suspended and you shouldn't be here so insult me and get the hell out of here.
Okay, first of all, don't be short with me.
- I see what you did there.
- I didn't mean to cut you off.
- Another one.
- Good.
Okay.
Can you triangulate the last position of Robyn's cellphone? I mean, I can, but you're suspended, man.
I am not supposed to do that for you.
I know what you're not supposed to do, but it's very important.
Hey, does this have anything to do with Amal Chandekar? How do you know about that? Robyn had me run his plates.
Yeah, her phone died six hours ago.
So, you take a plane from friggin' India? Why not just call McKinnon or Farinelli? Because I'm not the only thing that stinks around here.
I smell a rat, maybe two.
Oh, you're serious? Yeah, I'm serious.
Are you going to do it or not? You're going to do it, bro.
Go do it.
Okay, bro, I'm going.
All right, start off from here Damn it.
Dougster, are you looking for something? Rocco? Yeah, I saw you skulk in, Dougster.
Gotta admit, you had me fooled.
I had you fooled? Yeah, the bike bust thing, you act the douchebag part pretty well.
I wasn't acting! Thank you.
Then of course, my boy Jerry Wax dies right after you fly off to kiss Chandekar's ass in Mumbai.
Nice scarf by the way.
My dad had a fart attack, if you must know.
I didn't.
I only flew back to protect Robyn from you.
- From me? - You're dirty, Rocco.
Why else would Jerry Wax snitch to me? - Rocco.
- Oh, snap.
Uh What are you doing out here? Uh I bought this.
Nice one, huh? I'm going to use it on my vacation.
You bought a suitcase out here? No, no you see, my mother bought it for me.
I just had it in my car.
- Your car's parked out front.
- Yeah, it is.
I just wanted to bring it back and test out the wheels.
You know, roll it out on the elements, like real-world testing.
Because these things, you just never know.
Look at this.
If you This has a wide range of Huh? Look at that.
It has, um the ability to just glide, like a dream.
Anyways Uh What'll they think of next, right? - Rocco? - Yeah? Mr.
Marlowe has invited me to a police fundraiser tonight.
The wife's got a migraine, so I thought you should come.
Unless you've got a date with a certain someone? I I don't know what you mean, Superintendent.
Nothing escapes my sharp eyes here, Detective.
Better not forget that! - Whoop.
- Oh Oh Anyway see you tonight.
Yeah.
You are the worst liar I've ever seen in my life.
Why didn't you rat me out to McKinnon? Because I'm not dirty, Dougster.
And you're right.
Why would Jerry Wax snitch to you instead of me? I mean, why would anyone tell you anything is the thing? Exactly! What? Wait, where's Robyn? So where did Todd say Robyn's signal dropped? Just outside of Rochester.
About 270 clicks away.
Put that thing away.
It's not our jurisdiction, Dougster.
So what are you gonna do, call the DEA? - What are they gonna do? - They'll call McKinnon.
McKinnon is pals with Marlowe, and Marlowe's connected to Chandekar.
We did have an argument about Marlowe yesterday.
What do you mean you argued with him? I've been investigating Chandekar for months.
Marlowe always ends up buying land in areas where Chandekar's drug dealing has depressed prices.
What did McKinnon say? He said it was just coincidence.
Come on, that doesn't make him guilty, Dougster.
He's a good guy.
Oh, really? - Yeah.
- Wanna bet Robyn's life on it? He left no note? I'm sorry, Kakoli.
Sign here.
Again my deepest condolences, Kakoli.
Something to say, Constable Cheema? I thought not.
File these with the magistrate.
- Hello? - Priya? Hey, listen.
Sorry I missed your call.
How are you doing? How am I doing? How do you think I'm doing? Sorry I left without saying goodbye.
It was an emergency.
Well, I hope it was worth it.
- Aarav is dead.
- What? They made it look like suicide.
I told him not to open the door for anyone.
Well, he obviously did.
We were so close to getting Gopal, now we have nothing.
Maybe not nothing.
Gopal's trying to move $50 million worth of heroin.
- How do you know that? - Aarav told me.
Gopal needs it by Monday so he can build a skyscraper over the Annapuri slum.
That would be a way he can launder his drug money.
But then he'll leave everybody homeless.
Not if I can stop him.
Don't you have police in Toronto you could've called? Not exactly.
I have to go.
Hey, listen.
Don't be mad at me.
The bodies are piling up here, Doug, and you're 7,000 miles away.
You can't be in two places at once.
Jeez I didn't know you had a girlfriend over there.
Way to go, Dougster.
Way to go, buddy.
Will you just shut up and drive? - Yeah.
- Rocster? Inspector.
Mrs.
Malkani.
Miss Sehgal.
Actually, I wanted to let you to know that Urvesh and I have decided to take care of Vimal's girls.
It's the least we can do for Vimal.
And the swami, Mrs.
Malkani? Will your money bring him back to life? What's he doing here? Gloating.
He owns this place now.
Was it worth it, Mr.
Malkani? To win your wife's freedom? Well, well, Miss Sehgal.
It appears your Canadian wallah has gone.
He'll be back.
I heard he ran back with his tail tucked between his legs.
Maybe you should do the same.
What kills with impunity Maybe not.
Let's take a ride.
I can't believe that Robyn trusted you instead of me.
We're tight, you know.
Yeah, I know.
No, like, real tight.
She's been partners for, like, three whole years.
And I've been dating her for, like, three whole months.
- Three months? - Yeah.
She said it was only one.
It's three.
And a half.
Turn right, up here.
It's friggin' freezing.
- Is that your toque? - Nah, come on, bro.
It's department issue.
No one gave me a toque.
Oh, crap.
There's four of them.
Stay behind me.
- Jesus.
Robyn! - Shit.
Oh, God.
Doug? - Hi.
- Bob! Hey, hey.
It's okay, baby.
It's okay.
Your cell died out.
What happened? They went to open the back of the truck They would have killed me.
God, Doug.
It's Amal, he's No No, please! - No - Shhh.
They packed the heroin inside the kid's bikes like they meant to the last time and drove off.
How long ago was that? Uh about two hours ago.
Phil, could you? Hello.
Shari, this is Constable D'Mello from the Toronto Police Yes, yes, I know who you are.
I've been trying to reach your partner.
- I've been so worried.
- Yeah.
- I'm fine, Shari.
- Thank God.
I thought Amal got to you, too.
Did you let him cross? Who's that? This is Detective Rocco Farinelli.
Did you let Chandekar cross? Uh no.
Not yet.
Okay, then we still have a bit of time.
Alert your superior at once.
No, Shari.
Don't do that, please.
- Doug, I'm still in charge here.
- Okay, buddy.
No.
Doug's right, Roc.
If Shari doesn't let Amal cross, then his brother in Mumbai will kill her whole family.
Listen.
I'm sorry, babe, but Officer Kadu is sworn to uphold the law.
And the law clearly states we've got to stop that heroin from crossing the border.
What? Shari, when Amal gets to the border, I need you to hold him there for as long as you can, okay? Okay.
- Roc, give me the keys.
- What for? She's not going to arrest Amal.
We are.
Let's go.
Mrs.
Kakoli Pitale? Mrs.
Pitale? I am Inspector Abhishek Devo from the Mumbai Police Department and this is Priya Sehgal from Annapuri Legal Aid.
May we come in? Your son didn't kill himself.
Say what you came to say.
I know you must be wondering what your son was doing at that hangar.
I asked the Deputy Commissioner.
They said he was looking for a remote place.
Where no one would stop him.
I didn't even know he was depressed.
Your son was going to testify against your brother.
We tried, and failed to keep him safe.
You! You got him killed? I know Aarav did bad things.
His father was killed when he was just a boy.
He just wanted to be somebody's son? We need your help, Mrs.
Pitale.
To build a case against Gopal.
- No.
I cannot help you.
- We can protect you.
Like you protected my son? Do you know what Deputy Commissioner Singh would do to you if he found out you were talking to me? No please go.
We apologize for the intrusion.
Good day, Mrs.
Pitale.
Gopal did not murder my son.
He is too much a coward to do it himself.
One of his men impersonated a detective to find him.
I suspect Kishan Parulkar.
Of course it was him.
There is nothing that man does not know about my brother's crimes.
You thinking what I'm thinking? We could never get Kishan to turn against Gopal.
It'd be fun to try.
What about Ruby Singh? He could get an urgent call from his sick mother in Punjab.
I've got this one, Phil.
Passports and manifest, please.
Sure thing, Officer.
Pull forward for inspection, please.
Your family will die.
I said pull forward.
How far to the border, Bob? Twelve kilometers.
- Not going to make it.
- We're going to make it.
Looks familiar.
Everything in order? Perfectly.
You're free to go, gentlemen.
I'm sure the children will really have fun with these.
Made it look good.
Smart girl.
That was Shari.
She had to let them go.
Told you we're not gonna make it.
Shut up! The border's right there.
Hey, it's a line.
You were saying? I said we're going to make it! Jesus! Are you crazy? What are you doing? Getting us there.
Obviously, I'm crazy.
There they are! Hands up! Upon the steering wheel, please! And thank you! Good afternoon, gentlemen.
So lovely to see you.
Hey, come on out.
Join me.
Amal Chandekar, you are under arrest for murder and drug trafficking.
Enjoy my forearm in your throat, you little dickstick.
- Doug? - Yeah? Look you're still suspended.
Hands.
You'll get the next one.
Mr.
Chandekar, and you, sir.
Your guys are both under arrest No "bike-tel" this time, Doug.
You did it.
No, Bob.
We did it.
- Do you understand your rights? - We're a good team, huh? Yeah, we are.
Wow.
Okay.
- Nice moves.
- Under arrest.
Inspector Devo.
What a surprise.
Allow me to offer my condolences on the death of your nephew.
That's not why you're here, is it, Devo? It seems numerous witnesses saw your man Kishan here firing at Aarav at The Lido Club.
- What of it? - Obviously, I know Kishan had nothing to do with the death of your nephew, Mr.
Chandekar.
- But it's how it looks.
- Get to the point.
If Kishan could come down to the station for questioning, I could report the matter has been thoroughly investigated.
Question him here.
No one would see it here.
As I said, it's how it looks.
Where is Deputy Commissioner Singh? He apologizes.
He had to go quite suddenly.
A sick mother in Punjab.
Get it over with.
Sir, if you could just grant me one more day's delay I fail to see the need for any delay, Miss Sehgal.
Aarav Pitale did not commit suicide.
With more time, I can prove it.
The police have already presented their report.
The case is closed.
You cannot ignore the evidence.
The coroner's report was not conclusive.
And a great many lives depend on the truth coming out.
You have one day, Miss Sehgal.
Please don't make me regret this.
Thank you, sir.
You won't! Get you anything to drink? Tea? Coffee? Let's just get this over with.
You're pretty clever, by the way.
Tricking the Canadian wallah's father.
The thing is, Inspector Tambe was a friend of mine, killed in the line of duty.
So my question is How you got hold of his badge? I think we're done here.
I think we're just getting started.
Looks like you just signed your death warrant.
Who's the dead man? Who's the dead man? So you guys got Chandekar, huh? You bet your shiny white ass we did.
Did he make a statement? No, not yet.
I guess it's all going to come out now.
About the rat in the department Who's that in McKinnon's office? David Marlowe.
D'Mello? And I thought India was corrupt! Is there a problem? Pretty blatant, doing business with a criminal in broad daylight.
My sincere apologies, Mr.
Marlowe.
Doug, I don't know what you think you're doing? Is this Constable D'Mello I've heard so much about? Oh, you heard about me? From who, your buddy Gopal? Doug, what the hell is going on? Don't play dumb with me, Superintendent.
Amal lowers the property values for him over here, then he takes the money and builds skyscrapers in India for Amal's brother, that way he can launder his drug money and look like a legitimate businessman.
Mr.
Marlowe, I'm really, really sorry about this.
Have you any idea how much Mr.
Marlowe raised for the police department last night? What's your cut on that, "Boss"? D'Mello, one more word from you Then what? You wanna take me out on that new fishing boat you're gonna buy? - You dirty son of a - Doug, stop! - It was me! - What was you? I'm the rat.
What do you mean you're the rat? I needed the cash.
For what? - For an operation.
- What kind of operation? To make myself taller.
That's the stupidest operation I've ever heard in my life.
You try being this height.
I was when I was three.
You didn't think we'd notice when you showed up and you're six foot eight? I don't know.
Well? It's over.
What do you mean "it's over"? The Canadian cop D'Mello, he He stopped us at the border and - Hey, Priya.
- You intercepted the heroin? - What did you say, darling? - Oh, nothing, Mom.
I'm just looking for an earring.
- Did you? - Sure did.
Gopal won't be building any skyscraper anytime soon.
You can let everybody know that they're safe there for a little while.
But they aren't.
- What do you mean? - Gopal's in a rage.
He's demanding that everybody evacuate by Monday.
He wants to bulldoze all the homes.
Wow, what a sore loser.
Doug, you need to get back here.
Aw, you miss me.
Inspector Devo couldn't get anything out of Gopal's man.
You need to tell the magistrate what Aarav told you.
What good would that do? It's evidence, Doug, the only evidence we have.
Okay.
Hey, listen.
I'm gonna call you back.
Okay.
Put your stuff away, Doug.
- I'm fired, Bob.
- Not anymore.
Mr.
Marlowe.
I'm an honest businessman, Mr.
D'Mello, but you were right about one thing.
I was this far from putting up a skyscraper in Mumbai.
Mr.
Marlowe didn't realize the extent of Chandekar's criminality.
If it weren't for you, I would have made a terrible mistake.
I shall be eternally grateful.
Mr.
Marlowe persuaded McKinnon to reinstate you immediately.
Constable, first class! Isn't it great? Did you hear what I said? Yeah, no I heard you.
I I've gotta go back to Mumbai.
To see your girlfriend? She's not my girlfriend she's actually engaged to someone else.
There's some things I still have to do there though.
Come here.
The court will entertain your motion regarding the death of Aarav Pitale.
Thank you, Your Honor.
I intend to prove that, contrary to police evidence, Aarav Pitale did not commit suicide.
He was murdered.
- Proceed.
- I'd like to enter into evidence a statement by Mr.
Stanley D'Mello, stating that Mr.
Parulkar entered his home posing as a police inspector.
Why isn't this Stanley D'Mello here in court? Mr.
D'Mello is in hospital, very ill.
But Inspector Devo can vouch for the authenticity of this statement.
Is there nothing else, Miss Sehgal? Your Honor, I have another witness, but he has yet to arrive.
This court will not be made to wait.
- Your Honor.
- I will make my ruling.
If you could please grant me more time.
I'm here! I'd like to call to the stand Mr.
Douglas D'Mello.
I got stuck in traffic.
- You smell like cow.
- You look like one.
High five.
No? Okay.
Aarav wasn't trying to off himself at all.
He was going to testify against his uncle.
You mean Gopal Chandekar.
Yeah, that goofy looking guy right there.
He was going to confess to the murders that Gopal made him commit Miss Sehgal, this is hearsay, Miss Sehgal.
I hope you don't intend it as evidence.
Your Honor, this is not hearsay.
This is a Canadian law enforcement officer recounting the conversation he had with the deceased.
You don't need to tell me that.
You may stand down, Mr.
D'Mello.
Mr.
D'Mello came all this way from Toronto.
Which is Canada.
Then he shouldn't have wasted his time.
Or mine.
I'll make my ruling.
Not so fast, Your Honor! Dad? Sorry, Your Honor.
Miss Sehgal? Your Honor, new evidence has come to light.
Can I request a brief recess? Very well.
A ten minute recess.
Well, well.
I hope you're enjoying the fresh air It's Mumbai, stupid.
There is no fresh air.
while you still can.
You won't hurt us, Mr.
Chandekar.
Not after you see the evidence that Mr.
Stanley brought.
That plane is worth a small fortune, you don't think I'd leave that without any security? This is the CCTV footage from the hangar.
It shows that you killed Aarav and planted the gun in his hand.
You're so screwed.
Let me see it.
With pleasure.
We'll can all watch it together in front of the magistrate.
I'll get the popcorn.
Just because you can prove he did it, that's nothing to do with me.
Is that so? What do you want? Guaranteed protection for Inspector Devo, the Kadus, and all of our families.
- Um-hm.
Is that all? - No.
Effective immediately, I want you to transfer ownership of the Annapuri slums to a cooperative, so that the land belongs to the people.
The deed will be on your front desk first thing in the morning.
Now give me the tape.
Not so fast, stupid.
We're not falling for your tricks.
That tape stays with us to make sure that you stick to your word.
- This isn't over.
- You're right.
Not until your ugly ass is rotting in a jail cell like your brother.
I don't know whose bitch you're gonna be, but you're a pretty man.
By the way, might I recommend a mint.
- Well done, Mr.
D'Mello.
- Thank you, Priya.
- He still got away with murder.
- For now.
Mr.
D'Mello, you wanted to discuss A Suitable Boy.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Can I buy you a cup of coffee? At last coffee.
Yes.
I'm so glad they're dating.
Excuse me.
I'm so sorry you had to come all the way back.
I'm not.
How about dinner? I'm sorry, I can't.
The engagement party is tomorrow.
Oh, yeah.
Right.
That stupid engagement party.
But Thank you for flying all the way.
Oh, yeah.
No problem.
Credit card's maxed out, but whatever.
No big deal.
Stupid one-way ticket.
I don't know how the hell I'm getting home.
- Good morning, Dattu.
- Good morning, Bapa.
Kiker-roo-coo-coo, says the rooster.
How about some nice fresh chai, Bapa? Yeah.
I guess I don't have a choice.
What's this doing here? Thank you.
Okay, kids.
Smile big for the camera.
Say cheese.
- Which one was this? - It's your fifth birthday party.
Wow.
I'm surprised you still have it.
Wait.
You didn't have CCTV set up in the hangar, did you? So maybe I bluffed.
That's my trick.
Where do you think you learned it from? Miss Pearl Yes I don't see you, Dad.
Because I was not there.
As usual.
You should've told me.
- Told you what? - About the heart attack.
He didn't tell me.
I figured it out, Dad.
I'm a detective, remember? It's what you're really afraid of, isn't it? Dying.
Nonsense.
It's you who is afraid.
What am I afraid of? The world can see that you're in love with that girl, but you're too scared to do anything about it.
She's already engaged to that VM Solo, VW, whatever his name is.
So what? A fiancé would not stop me from going after your mother.
Mom was engaged? Of course! You march yourself down, go to that engagement party right this second and tell that girl how you feel before it's too late.
It is quite a party.
So many guests.
I'm tired of waiting, fly-boy.
Duty calls.
Stanley the Manley.
Thank you all so much for being here.
This is such a joyous day for my family.
We're so grateful you're here to celebrate with us.
I want to congratulate my daughter on her engagement Don't do it! What do you think you're doing? Uh I meant, don't congratulate them now! In Canada, it's bad luck.
- It is? - Yeah.
That's why I'm here to personally wish you good luck with everything.
Enjoy your day.
A crazy foreigner from upstairs.
As I was saying Congratulations to the couple.
Rocco was right! I am a douche! You're not a douche.
I don't know.
You just act like one sometimes.
What about, uh about your fiancé? I, uh, told my parents that I changed my mind.
But Just shut up and kiss me.
I guess this just proves that a Toronto property developer has a lot more in common with an Indian gangster than you'd think.
And a Toronto Constable can become an Indian detective.
If you don't give up, some things do become real.
Except for a toupee.
It does not make you manly.
Unless, of course, you believe it.
Yes? - Is this Obaku? - Who's this? A friend in Canada.
I thought you might like to know who's to blame for the heroin you lost.
I would very much.
His name is D'Mello.
Douglass D'Mello.
