Manvat Murders (2024) s01e06 Episode Script

What's the matter?
Hey! Move aside!
Get out of the way!
Move!
Move! Stand back!
[people clamouring]
[loud gunshot]
[loud grunting]
[suspenseful music]
Fuck! Is that you?
Tukya!
[winces in pain]
[sniggers]
So, Tukya!
Tukaram!
What's up?
Are you hungry?
How about some tandoori chicken?
Some water maybe?
Some water.
Aah!
Get him some water.
Get our hero a full glass of water.
Hmm.
So tell me
you're the one who killed
those girls, aren't you?
Why did you kill Kondya?
Talk!
You've got no choice now!
I'm going to make you talk!
Don't forget I've been trained
under the great Ramakant Kulkarni!
Aah!
Amitabh Bachchan?
So!
It's time to talk!
[exhales]
Where is that
boss of yours?
Why do you care?
First, you'll want answers
Hm.
Then Kulkarni saheb will
want the same answers.
So wouldn't it be better
if I spoke to him directly?
Who do you think
arrested you, dickhead?
I did.
And so, you'll answer me.
Buzz off.
Hey asshole!
Who the fuck do you think you are?
Get up!
[grunting]
I'll show you what’s what!
Asshole!
I haven't even touched him, Sir.
I know that
you don't like to beat criminals up.
Shukla.
- Go check the autopsy report.
- But Sir-
I'll handle him.
- But Sir, I-
- I said leave!
Tukya.
What do you know
about the incident in the village?
Dharia Bua
eighth murder
don't ring a bell to you.
Am I right?
OK tell me.
Why were you wearing that costume?
Did someone ask you to?
Or do you fancy acting in the movies?
Don't worry.
I'm not going to beat you up.
Because I know it's not worth my time.
I know that
you'll never go against your
own people no matter what.
Right?
[suspenseful music]
Cause of death.
Blood loss caused by
the impact of a sharp object.
Hmm.
Are all the wounds caused
by the same weapon?
No.
There were two.
Both weapons resemble an axe.
But the width of their edges is different.
Sir.
Huh?
Come. Come in.
He's Kondya's brother.
He was the one who filed the complaint.
Come.
Come.
Relax.
Have a look.
And tell me if it's your brother.
Yes, Sir! [tears up]
Kondya!
Kondya, wake up!
Kondya, wake up!
[sobs loudly]
[sombre music]
Please wake up, Kondya!
Ambadas.
Get all formalities done.
And hand the body over to Yashwant.
[indistinct chatter]
Sir.
Any luck?
Hasn't said a word.
Thank you, Nawathe.
Look at this, Sir.
It's all written here.
The date, time-
Nawathe.
Sir?
Do you know what Shankar is up to?
I swear on my mother, Sir.
I stopped tailing him
after you asked me not to.
Hmm.
[fast-paced music]
Start tailing him again.
And meet him.
Huh?
But this time
follow my instructions.
Sir.
Do we have any seized
ganja around here?
[sniffles]
Have you informed your parents?
- I don't have a father.
- Hmm.
And your mother?
She's in prison.
In prison?
For what?
After they raided Janaki Dairy
they arrested her.
What's your mother's name?
Sheshabai.
I know her all too well.
OK, so tell me.
When did you last see your brother?
Two days ago in the morning.
Where?
At Samindribai's place.
[suspenseful music]
What was he doing there?
He used to work there.
What work?
How did you manage
to lose just one goat?
Didn't I ask you to keep an eye on her?
Now go.
Go find her.
I'm scared to go alone.
Stop being a baby and find her!
She must be near the quarry.
I can't go there alone!
Listen Kondya!
Don't make me repeat myself.
If you don't find her
I'll cut you to pieces.
Off you go!
Can you help me find the goat?
Do it yourself!
And come home after you're done!
So she said "I'll cut you to pieces"?
Yeah.
Ambadas.
Didn't we find the body in the quarry?
We did, Sir.
Doesn't this guy work
at Rukmini's mansion?
Yes.
[sobbing]
He's Sheshabai's brother.
Sopan.
We lost Kondya, Mama!
Bloody hell!
I'm losing my mind.
Sheshabai is Kondya's mother.
Hmm.
She went to prison for this Samindri
who killed Kondya because
he lost one of her goats!
And then there's Kondya's uncle.
Hm.
Sopan.
He's part of Uttamrao's
and Rukminibai's inner circle.
[dramatic music]
Let's go.
Where?
To He who will show us the light.
The light?
Listen!
- Stop it!
- Move aside!
I can't let you go in!
Trying to solve an important case
doesn't mean you arrest innocent people.
Why have you arrested Tukya?
Do you have any evidence?
Who are you?
She's Janhavi madam.
She's a school teacher
in Tukya's neighbourhood.
Hence the soft corner for Tukya.
I'm only here to ask you why
you've unlawfully detained Tukya.
Not unlawfully.
It's a proper arrest.
Ponkshe.
Please sit.
Look
I get what you're saying.
- But Sir
- But
a criminal only belongs in a prison.
Whoever it may be.
You should know that
your dear Tukya attacked a little girl.
He disguised himself
and wreaked havoc.
And we've caught him while
he was wearing Dharia Bua's costume.
So please don't think that
we've detained an innocent soul.
And I'm very sure
that Tukya knows something
about these murders in Manvat.
Don't we
as police officers
have the right to investigate?
Once I'm done investigating him
if he is innocent..
I won't keep him here
even for a minute.
That is only if he decides to speak!
I've tried everything possible
but your Tukya is no mood to answer.
Sir
may I try talking to him?
That's not possible.
He's in our custody.
Vakatkar.
Sir
I think Tukya will never lie to me.
Hmm.
OK.
Ask him about this letter.
And what it means.
- Sir
- Go on.
Don't you worry.
Sarlaji!
Please show her the way.
Come.
May I come in, Sir?
Is it important?
With due respect to you, Sir.
I've used your method to find
answers to all six questions.
Yes, go on, Shukla.
[exhales]
Question number 1.
Who exactly is the victim?
Right?
The answer.
Kondiba Umaji Roday, 10 years old.
Question number 2.
What is the exact cause of the death?
Hm?
The wounds caused by the axe.
Question number 3.
Where was the murder committed?
In the quarry.
Question number 4.
When was the murder committed?
Day before yesterday at night.
Question number 5.
What was the motive behind the murder?
Hurry up already.
Don't break the flow, Sir.
Right.
Where was I?
Question number 6.
What?
Who could be the suspect, Shukla!
Right!
It's got to be her, Sir!
Shukla!
The answer is
Samindribai.
Kondya used to help her
feed her goats.
Hmm.
[tense music]
Good job, Shukla.
Now we're close to solving this case.
Yeah.
He used to feed my goats.
I never denied that.
God knows how the dumbass
lost my goats.
How am I supposed to know
who did this and how?
Anyone who's being paid
for it should investigate.
Ouch! That hurt!
Really?
I'll be careful, OK?
During the Janaki Dairy incident,
you were running an illegal liquor shop.
That's what people were saying.
I can't shut everyone's mouth, can I?
People are free to say what they want.
But I will say this.
Don't investigate the wrong people.
What's the point of
bothering people unnecessarily?
We have evidence that you were
the last person seen with Kondya.
So if I go missing later today
can you be held responsible
for my disappearance?
[sniggers]
You're making no sense. [mumbles]
Fair enough.
If you get any information, let me know.
I'll be back.
I've told you whatever I know.
There's no need to come back here.
You're wasting my time.
Watch your mouth!
Get the rose out.
Do it carefully.
Let's go.
[suspenseful music]
So you mean you didn't kill
those seven girls last year?
No, I didn't.
Then why did you tell the girl that
she's your eighth victim?
Thankfully, the girl escaped.
She didn't escape.
I let her go.
- If I wanted to
- What then?
Would you have killed her?
[tense music]
I'm asking you again, Tukya.
About the seven murders
are you responsible for any of them?
And Kondya?
[music turns suspenseful]
Tai.
Could you step out
just for a minute?
I won't tell anyone, Tukya.
You can trust me.
And tell me everything.
Is it that you know who the killer is
and you're protecting him
by misguiding the police
and by putting on that costume?
The police received this letter
after the second murder.
[intense music]
Look at this.
Read it.
It says "Of Elevens, a goat and the earth!"
What does that mean?
[intense music continues]
Come on, step on it!
Listen!
I want you to take as much
as you can after midnight!
And don't leave together!
Make sure you leave
fifteen minutes after the last guy!
I've already told
each one of you your route!
Listen!
Keep the goods ready as soon as
the radio programme ends.
That'll make sure
they never find the liquor!
Why the hell are you doing this?
The police is already closing in on me!
Are you going to look after
my girl if I don't make it?
Shut up, bitch!
Who're you to question me!
Say that again
and I'll bump both you
and your daughter off!
[dramatic music]
[music turns eerie]
I was wrong to think that
the villagers trust me.
I thought they wouldn't
hesitate to confide in me.
And Tukya was
Madam
don't feel bad about it.
My husband used to work
for those living outside this village.
After we got married, I came here with him.
He died during the hepatitis outbreak.
Since then I've been toiling here
for education and basic necessities.
But clearly that hasn't helped at all.
I can't even get people to talk to me.
You're doing some very good work.
But I'm curious about something.
Why did Tukya
agree to talk to you?
He refused to say anything to me.
Why is that?
Maybe because I treat him as my own.
I have to go now.
Tell me if you need any help.
Thank you.
Namaskar!
Has Nawathe left?
Yes, Sir. A while ago.
OK.
[crackling of fire]
Hey, buddy.
Hmm.
Go easy on the booze.
Or you it'll kill you.
I hope it happens.
It'll set me free.
If you're so eager to die
why don't you throw
yourself under a train?
Hm?
It'll be painless.
Do you think it's easy?
I don't have the balls.
Why the hell
is your life in the gutter?
Tell me.
Why you're so interested in my life?
Hm.
Here.
I can see that you're restless.
Shankarrao
something is clearly bothering you.
Have you got some dirt on your hands?
Want to atone for some sins?
Has someone been feeding you this?
Why do they have to feed me?
I'm smart enough to see it.
You're seen spending
hours in the temple.
You were seen crying at the crime scene.
Have you been following me?
Shankarrao!
I'm asking you because
I care about you.
Hmm.
About those murders in Manvat
I hope you don't have
anything to do with them.
[tense music]
I mean
if you do
just tell the police
who did it
how they did it.
Become a witness to the prosecution.
I'll make sure
you'll be out of prison in no time.
I haven't killed anyone.
Anyone.
Why are you lying to me?
I haven't
killed any of those girls.
I really haven't killed any girl!
But I've done something worse! [sobbing]
Worse!
Much worse than that!
[loud sobbing]
[tense music]
What's worse than killing someone?
Shankarrao.
Tell me what's worse than killing someone.
Go ask Ganpat.
Who?
Who?
Ask that asshole Ganpat!
Who's Ganpat?
Tell me.
Gan
Who is Ganpat?
Shankarrao.
Who is Ganpat, Shankarrao?
Bloody hell.
Hmm.
And?
After that?
He was quite high.
He just said Ganpat.
Didn't say anything else.
- And passed out.
- Hmm.
Sir.
The Ganpat he's referring to
could be Ganpat Salve.
Hmm.
It's possible.
- Nawathe.
- Sir.
Inform Vakatkar immediately.
This Ganpat Salve should
be tracked immediately.
And
is liquor being sold illegally again?
Yes, Sir.
Keep an eye on that too.
Sir.
And Nawathe!
Sir?
Good job.
Thank you, Sir.
Wow!
Is that a new doll?
From where did you get it?
My baba sent it to me.
Oh, is it?
Your baba sent it to you?
OK.
From where did he send it?
Honey!
Why don't you go play outside?
I know you've travelled
a lot to get here.
But I don't think I can help you.
I think you should look
for another psychic.
But
my uncle has cast a spell on my father.
He's always sick.
I need to reverse that spell.
Many people told me that I should
seek help from Ganpat Salve.
I know what you're saying.
But he's been missing
for the last 8 months.
No one knows where he is.
He must be contacting you
once in a while.
He doesn't.
You see this mangalsutra
and the vermillion on my forehead
but they don't mean anything.
I don't know if
he's dead or alive.
OK.
If he does contact you
please call me on this number.
It's very important.
Goodbye.
[sinister music]
Sir!
Sir!
Yes, Shukla!
We need to go right away, Sir!
Where?
The tip-off is solid!
It's about Kondya's murder.
I swear, Sir.
- Shall we?
- Yes.
It's right here, Sir.
[sound of car engine]
[fast-paced, dramatic music]
Yes, Sangappa.
What do you know
about Kondya's murder?
I'm not the one with the info.
What do you mean?
I don't have any information.
But there's someone who
witnessed Kondya's murder.
Get out here.
Come.
Don't be afraid.
[dramatic music continues]
