A Simple Murder (2020) s01e05 Episode Script
Santa Ki Shakal
1
Thank you so much, Manish.
People like you are
rare in these times.
How can a father send contact killers
after his own daughter?
Who does he want to kill? Her.
And he hired some fucking loser
who killed someone else instead of her.
'Parth.'
'Your target.'
Manish.
Manish.
Manish! Richa
Thank you.
Manish, you keep this gun.
What What's the matter?
I killed him Otherwise
He would have killed you
- It's okay.
He would have killed you.
- It's okay. Calm down.
Killed I didn't kill him
I will kill him.
We were lucky to survive.
Tomorrow is uncertain.
Do you want to spend
your whole life like this?
Forget Rahul.
I'm trying to forget too.
What a mess you've made, Shankar!
Show some respect.
You're new here, aren't you?
The police are here.
'Shankar knew that this was the time
to prove his steely resolve.'
'To prove that he was ready
for the harshest of tests.'
'To conquer his fears
with courage and fortitude.'
'It was time for him to prove'
Sir, I've made a big mistake.
Rahul gave me 2,000 rupees to say
that he was at our bar all afternoon.
And that he was here with his girlfriend.
I've been in Delhi for 17 years
- Hold on.
Who was the girl?
It must be the murder victim.
Is Richa Bhabhi dead?
- Who is Richa?
Manish's wife.
- Manish?
What about him?
Is Manish a celebrity that you expect
everyone to know him?
Sir, he lives nearby in DDA Colony.
Call Richa to the police station.
Don't leave the city. Okay?
Didn't you hear him?
He has been in Delhi for 17 years.
He hasn't got a chance
to go to his village even once.
Sir.
Come on.
Give me a 2,000-rupee note.
'I knew that I could trust you.'
Hello. Yes?
I'm speaking from
Dwarka Police Station, Sector 4.
Is Rahul your friend?
- Yes.
He claimed that you were
with him last afternoon.
So, please come to the police station
to give your statement.
I see.
Take me to Dwarka
Police Station, Sector 4.
'Reminder for your meeting
at Dwarka Police Station at 10 am.'
Yes, I'm coming.
Let me freshen up.
Dwarka Police Station, Sector 4.
'Your destination is 20 minutes away.'
'It's time for me to leave.'
'Fifty million!'
'Sweetheart!'
'But she made more phone calls
to some Rahul than you.'
'My darling!'
'Rahul has the money.'
'My sweetums.'
'Finally, we get
to build our new home.'
'Manish killed my beloved.'
'The love of my life.'
'And I will write 'ghazals'
all day, all night long.'
You?
Richa! Richa!
She ran away.
Your PT Usha has run away again.
Himmat, I was just about
to come and pick you up!
I got in deep trouble thanks to you!
He stabbed me with a glass bottle!
Himmat, let's go to the hospital first.
Then you can hit me as much
as you want. Come on.
Come on.
We'd like to inform the viewers
who have joined us recently
that a second video
from Minister Pran Davas' daughter
has just gone viral.
Since then, on Twitter and Facebook,
people are continuously
expressing their outrage.
Look how badly they beat him up. Here.
We have been on the run for two days.
Last night, we had
to hide at a lodge,
where we were attacked mercilessly.
If we had not escaped in time,
we both would have died.
And my father, Pran Davas,
is behind all this.
Pran Davas is behind all this.
Pran Davas is behind all this.
Hello, sir.
Oh! What brings you here?
Sir, I received a call from here.
Really? Who had called you?
I don't know. He just asked me
to come here today. So, I'm here.
Really?
'My phone battery is very low.
If I could use the landline'
Oh, yes! Someone must
have called you from here.
Actually, we wanted to call someone else.
But you were called by mistake.
No problem.
By the way, we visited Prithvi Bar.
You told us the truth.
So, there's no problem.
If we need anything, we'll call you
for an inquiry. - Sure.
Anytime, sir.
Alright.
Sir, where are you going?
You had to ruin it.
Take your seat.
Come on, let's go.
Driver, don't stop. Follow him.
Hurry up and follow him!
'Often in life,
whatever people are running after'
'actually runs away somewhere else.'
'This medley of running and chasing'
'will be spiced up
with the flavour of coincidence.'
I'll go and fill out the form.
Excuse me. Where is the reception?
Go and sit over there.
Fracture?
Fracture?
Possibly.
First time?
- No.
I'm very experienced.
You resemble someone.
Who?
My father-in-law.
How long have you been married?
Four and a half years.
- Hmm.
Make or break point.
- What do you mean?
Romance lasts for four years.
The fifth year is a test.
If you pass, well and good.
How long have you been married?
I'm not married.
Did she leave you?
She was murdered.
I'm so sorry.
You need to come.
- Wait!
We are having a nice chat here.
And you're asking me to go with you.
What's the matter?
Wasn't she beautiful?
Hey! How long will it take?
Please send him inside!
It will take time. - He can't wait!
Have you seen his wife's photo?
I have. Please send him in right away.
If you have a problem, go and talk
to the superintendent. - Superintendent!
Yes? Tell me.
What's the matter?
Did you want to say anything?
Where is the washroom?
- Go straight and take a right.
Come on. I'll show you.
Lower your hands. What are you doing?
Why did you kill her?
I I didn't kill her.
I shot her by accident.
Why did you kill her?
There was a commotion there.
The bullet was fired by accident.
I didn't kill her.
I
- You asshole, why did you kill her?
Excuse me, sir.
Hail India, sir.
- What's going on?
Why are you not on duty?
I am on duty, sir. The Madhu murder case.
What are you doing?
I'm following Rahul, sir.
May I ask who gave you
permission to do so?
Sir, when you were handling things,
Santosh fooled you,
used the landline at the office
and called Rahul to the police station.
Now, won't you ask me why he called him?
Hello! Have you forgotten
what SI stands for?
Should I remind you?
Serious Investigation, sir.
You have tried your approach.
Now, let me try mine.
You Hello
Hello!
Damn! What attitude!
Pandit is the root of all problems.
Come on.
Let's go to his temple
and pay our respects.
Listen, Himmat.
I've cracked this problem.
Let's hand the kids over to the minister.
Problem solved.
Look, Manish.
You should never be so consumed by greed
that you betray your own conscience.
You gave these kids refuge in your house.
You gave them food and water.
And you want to sell them out
for your greed, asshole?
I must not look in the eye of my target,
I must not betray my conscience
What am I supposed to do, Himmat?
If you can respect yourself,
everyone will respect you.
Come on.
'You darned idiot, don't piss here.'
You idiot!
You mother
- You mother
Break! Break!
They must have heard
about Pandit's death.
That's why everyone ran away, scared.
Do you have a pin?
One must not share one's pin
and OTP with anyone.
Don't you read messages from the bank?
Do you have a hairpin?
- Yes.
All these cars are trash.
There's not a single car
that I can take right now.
We don't have another as of now.
It'll take time to arrange one.
Where did you bring this from?
- Sir, from the police station.
Go.
- Okay.
Open the drawers and check properly.
Himmat
Yes?
- This has turned on.
'Om Shanti.'
'Om Shanti.'
Hey! One second.
'Om Shanti.'
You are a genius!
Santosh.
'Isn't she beautiful?'
I have an idea.
Hello. Hello.
Hello.
- Pandit?
Pandit is dead.
Okay. So, who are you? What do you want?
Stop talking nonsense
and bring me 50 million rupees.
Why, sir?
Because I have the file of all your kills.
The connection between you and Pandit
The connection between
Pandit and Pran Davas
Okay.
Pandit and I No.
The connection between you
and Pran Davas
Manish! Got you!
Manish!
Yes. That's what I'll say
when your file gets to the police.
Oh, my God! So, what should I do?
Arrange 50 million rupees.
Give it to me.
And take your file.
At least, stop doing that voice, asshole.
Okay. Come to Mayanagari Junkyard.
The money is ready.
You have learnt.
You take the computer. It can be of help.
You haven't learnt.
Show it to me.
Show you what, sir?
The viral one
Sir, the officer, who had a viral fever,
is on leave.
He was still feeling weak.
Hey! You are the department's weakness!
Show me the video that went viral!
Sorry, sir.
'And I love a Muslim boy.'
'And my father finds this fact
very embarrassing.'
'So, he wants us both dead.'
Now, that fucking SI will know
what Amit Mehta is made of.
Richa?
Say sorry!
You stole my money!
You locked me in the bathroom.
Sir
- Rahul?
Hey! What?
- Sorry, sir.
You think you can stop a cop?
- Sorry, sir.
Should I arrest you?
- Sorry, sir.
Where is Rahul Verma?
Where is my money?
Say you're fucking sorry!
Where is my money? Let me go!
Get out of here!
Get out of here. Out!
Move!
The fuck!
Guns down!
Gun down!
'There comes a milestone
in everyone's life,'
'after which, you can't go back
to what you were before.'
'Richa has reached that milestone
in her life at this moment.'
Hey!
- Get up!
'The bullet that she just fired'
'will change her life forever.'
Hey!
"When you were not here,"
"you were still with me."
Wow!
Himmat, go.
Why should I go?
Why don't you go?
Whose name is Himmat (courage)?
Whose idea was it?
Come on! Don't be this way!
Fucking moron
Keep this.
And until I ask you, don't come out.
You've come alone again!
Where's your partner?
The hard-disk is not so heavy
that I'd need a partner to carry it.
Where is the hard-disk?
Give me the money
and take the hard-disk.
That's a good plan.
Do give it to me, okay?
Manish!
Thank you so much, Manish.
