Charlie Chopra & The Mystery of Solang Valley (2023) s01e05 Episode Script

Mai Phuddu Aan

Fuck a duck!
I'm sure the killer hid here.
He fired the bullet from here.
Impossible.
- Meet my mom.
- Is it?
Yes. If the bullet was fired from here,
it would have hit Dheengra in the neck.
Not his throat?
So I'm a fool?
How would I know?
Yes, I am a fool.
Do you know why?
Why?
A fool who knows
they are a fool is no longer a fool!
The killer knew Dheengra.
He called out to him.
Dheengrey!
Dheengra turned.
Yes?
And then
Yeah right.
But Chaddha's car was there.
Dheengra was waiting for him here.
- Then?
- Then?
Then the murderer dragged Dheengra's body
from the road to the field
and hid it.
Yes, then?
He did it all in under two minutes?
Probably even less than that..
Really?
Yes.
The road is just 2 minutes away.
- Minimum 3.15 minutes.
- 2
- Have you measured it?
- Didn't have to.
Why is that?
That's because I'm Dolly Chopra,
D/O Happy Chopra,
Mohalla Gaddakhana, Near Sherawala Gate,
Patiala, Punjab, 147001.
Tougher the case,
lesser the fees.
But, today you are wrong
Look at her audacity!
Wanna bet on it?
Done.
If I lose today,
I won't touch the cigar again.
Here.
Who's a fool now?
Mom?
Where are you going, mom?
Mom!
Mom
Mom!
Mom?
Mom!
Mom!
Mom!
I'm a fool and I didn't even know it.
Mom!
"Charlie Chopra"
"Charlie Chopra"
"Area Gaddakhana"
"Near Sherawala Gate"
"Patiala, Punjab"
"147001"
"Charlie Chopra"
"Tougher the case,
lesser the fees."
Charlie?
No, Charlie, please don't strain yourself.
Please.
Mohan, call the doctor.
You had slept with the window shut.
The fire sucked in all the oxygen.
You're lucky.
Another thirty minutes,
and you'd be dead.
He saved your life.
No! Not me, him.
Mohan.
Okay, take care.
Thank you, doctor.
Give her some fruits.
I'll get the medicines.
I came to Mr Negi's in the morning
but he wasn't home.
On my way back, I saw the window
of your room was shut.
Why were you at Mr Negi's
so early in the morning?
To confess the truth.
What truth?
Charlie, we know that you know.
Who is it?
Stop!
Where are you running?
Where are you running? Stop.
Stop! Don't run!
Hey!
Marijuana plants grow naturally
in our backyard.
After his retirement,
he used to conduct experiments
in his chemistry lab to kill time.
One day his friend came over
and loved his cultivated weed.
He made us a business offer.
After Varun fell ill,
his medicines, surgeries, doctor's fees
We had no other option.
We barely manage household expenses
with my pension and Janki's practice.
Varun anyway thinks he's a burden on us.
To keep this business a secret,
under the pretext of movies,
every Friday
Why Friday?
It's the day of delivery.
Will your friend testify
you were at his place for delivery
when the murder took place?
He couldn't come last week
because of the blizzard.
Of course.
For your information,
the window to my room was open last night.
I opened it myself.
Last night,
somebody tried to kill me.
Thank you.
"Be with me"
"Stay with me"
"Be with me"
I told you
I can tell the singer from one note.
You survived!
Why?
Should I have died?
That might've been better.
Made it to Delhi?
Yes, but via Lucknow.
It wasn't easy looking into
Begum Akhtar's lineage but
it wasn't impossible either.
Wilayat and Wasima's real names
are Bunty and Pinky Aftab,
fugitives on the run.
Accused of murdering Ajay Thakur,
owner of Thakur Oil and Gas Company.
Absconding killers.
This was just the trailer.
Here's the full movie.
That means Billu
and the mother-daughter duo?
Billu and the mother-daughter duo!
See you. The last cable car leaves soon.
Where will you go?
Anywhere away from you.
And what if I am nowhere
Where will you go then?
I am more of a threat to the killer
than I am to you!
I won't apologise
because you too were at fault.
Okay.
Stop ogling.
You too
- Get off your ass and come along.
- Where to?
Thank you, Lady Rose.
Run forest run!
Run, run, run!
I said run!
Himachali day and night, with dear
departed Sitaram Bisht out of sight.
Listen to me.
No, Billu!
No, Billu!
- Billu, no!
- Billu!
Billu!
No, darling.
Stop.
No more murders.
Billu.
Mummy
I became a widow at a young age.
"Be with me"
"Stay close to me"
"Be with me"
"Stay close to me"
"No matter how far you go,"
"let me feel your presence"
Wasima was around 10 years old
when I met Mr Thakur
at a Ghazal CD recording.
My first and last CD.
Mr Thakur's love was an obsession.
My voice wasn't meant for anyone else.
He wanted me to sing only for him.
"In a room filled
with the hum of silence"
"In a room filled
with the hum of silence'
"I shall stay quiet
and you too mustn't say anything"
"Stay close to me, my love"
"Flare up like damp wood in the rains"
"Flare up like damp wood in the rains"
As time passed, he began to
obsesses over Wasima.
"Like ice, melt away in solitude"
"Stay close to me, my love"
"The path will part into
two at the bend"
"The path will part into
two at the bend"
"The bend isn't far,
walk slowly, my love"
"Stay close to me, my love"
Mr Thakur!
What's the matter?
Is everything all right?
The child is asleep.
Get up
What are you doing?
- Mom!
- Let her go.
Stop! Leave her.
Mom!
Billu sent us to Manali.
There was no place as safe
as Solang Valley for us.
Where were you on the night of the murder?
In Manali.
What?
What for?
To send my devil uncle packing!
He was ready to forsake the entire family
for a whore!
Or you needed money
for their fake passports?
I did need money.
But someone else's need
was greater than mine!
When I reached uncle's
place that night,
someone had already killed him.
I went into hiding in a rest house
for 24 hours.
The night I went to meet Wasima,
you were keeping an eye on them.
- Charlie?
- What?
Do you see someone there?
It's a great story but
but you might be lying
How?
You see, you had the perfect motive
survival.
To survive, you needed new identities,
passports and lots of money
to start anew in a different country.
Brigadier's death was your only option.
When Nikki posed a threat, you
But why that drama
of Lady Rose possessing Wasima?
That wasn't drama.
You want to tell
me that ghosts are real?
No, hallucinations are real.
Wasima!
No, mom.
I am no longer embarrassed
nor scared of the truth.
I have schizophrenia.
I know that.
Aerotrim Plus and Cleranance 1.5 - one
after breakfast, two after dinner.
How do you know that?
Practice, mom!
How is schizophrenia related to séance?
Wasima's condition worsened
after Thakur's murder.
Her paranoia was getting triggered.
I was getting better.
That night
It had never happened before.
I don't recall what I said or did.
I don't know.
I took medicines regularly.
I didn't miss a dose in months.
Where's the medicine?
Here
We need a lab test.
What do you think?
Are these candies?
If you didn't kill him
what are you afraid of?
These medicines aren't available here.
We get them from Chandigarh.
Keep these. Get them tested.
Just don't reveal the truth about us.
Please.
You're safe till the test results arrive.
Hello?
Hello.
I am ashamed, Charlie.
I didn't believe you.
I mocked and humiliated you.
I'm here to make things right.
I found the killer.
Who?
The same guy who tried to kill you.
Who?
- Billu.
- Billu?
Billu?
Following a tip, we raided a gambling den
in a rest house.
When we checked the register,
we found that Billu stayed there
that night.
Billu will be behind bars before sundown.
Sorry.
Sir,
you're amazing!
Say that again.
Schizophrenia.
Sch
Schizo
Phrenia.
Schizophrenia.
What's that?
Hallucination.
The patient can't tell the difference
between what's real and what's not.
Who has this ailment?
Billu or mom?
Billu or mom!
I'll explain everything later, Mr Narayan.
- Just get these tested.
- But listen
- There's no time.
- Thank you.
- Not yet.
- Please go.
- We'll explain later.
- Thank you.
Thanks for the fruits.
Lady Rose is just like Inspector Narayan.
Meaning?
I mean she's always late.
She could've warned about
the brigadier's murder in advance.
What's the point of doing that
after he died?
What? What did you say?
I was saying,
the brigadier had time before dying.
She should've warned in advance.
No point warning after he died.
It did help.
How?
The murder took place
after the warning.
Come.
Where are we going?
Hey
Where are they?
I can barely see anything
and you saw the shoes!
You're surely mistaken.
No, the shoes were right here.
You saw it too, right?
Did the brigadier's ghost take them?
No, the brigadier's killer.
What?
What happened?
Tell the doctor this is urgent.
- I want the report by morning.
- Okay.
Charlie, what brings you here?
I'm sending these for the tests.
To have a look.
What have you done?
Spit that out!
Hey
Listen to me.
Spit it out.
Don't do that
Hey
Charlie!
Charlie, don't.
Put that down.
Just stop!
Jimmy, tell her.
Tell her.
- Stop!
- Charlie!
What have you done, Charlie?
Show me.
You had this pill.
Do you know what can happen?
Nothing will happen.
- What do you mean? You'll die. Throw up
- Nothing will happen.
These aren't medicines
but candies.
What?
Have some.
I found the killer.
You too.
Come.
Stop!
