Snakes and Ladders (2024) s01e08 Episode Script

1
What other skills do you have?
Do you think you can survive
in the real world?
Once you talk about quitting…
people would deem you unfit.
And once they know you're unfit,
then that's it.
You'll be in prison for others' crimes.
Look at me.
I'm not built to fight.
But…
I will slit people's throats while
they are deep asleep.
You seem to be confused.
Don't think that materialistic wealth
is not eternal.
You are left with
a six-foot ground, but…
make sure you lie there like a king.
Hey!
Come on.
- There are steps here. Careful.
- Okay, Gilly.
Excuse me. Listen.
This is the spot.
Dig up this side.
Dig up here, please.
Wait, hold on.
Careful, there's a pit.
You said it was a dog.
But it is too heavy.
It's a Great Dane. A huge dog.
Don't be scared.
It won't bite.
Hey!
I mean it never bit anyone.
But, listen, kid…
The money you paid me for this job…
isn't enough.
It's too heavy.
I will pay you more.
Nobody in your family knows, right?
Then why do you want
to bury it elsewhere?
- The thing is…
- Nobody is able to sleep at night.
Bad things are happening.
Grandpa doesn't even feel like
going to the church.
If he doesn't go to Church,
who will give you alms?
God!
If I give our Jimmy, a proper send-off…
things will sort out.
If we bury him in his favorite spot…
- he will RIP.
- What?
His soul would attain salvation.
My grandma woke up.
Yes, look.
Let's get in the car.
Hey, we can't trust his skills.
First, sit inside.
Sandy, be careful!
You said you know driving.
Don't get scared.
Hey! What are you doing?
Be careful with the car!
Hey, Sandy!
He is going to get us killed.
Told you! He doesn't know how to drive.
Please drive safely.
Can't you drive in a straight line?
I can't see a thing.
- Someone is coming towards the car.
- Stop the car!
Watch out!
Hey!
It's your dad.
There's some telepathy between
us and your dad.
Get out!
I knew you'd be up to something like this!
Take the back seat.
Who are these guys?
Had your dad come a bit earlier…
we wouldn't have needed
these beggars.
Uncle, stop here!
- Careful!
- Careful!
Yes, that way.
Gilly! Come here.
Yes, Uncle?
Give this to them.
A hundred rupees?
Take it slow.
Alright!
Go straight.
Enough.
Come with me.
Hey!
Are you sure that we can
leave this corpse here?
Yes. Only then can
the cops find it easily.
And now…
even after the cops get
to know about him…
they would link this up with the
murder case at Paneer's house, right?
They all belong to the same gang.
Yes.
They'll proceed with the case
as a "gang war".
You are correct.
Give us a minute.
You can close it.
"Lord, let this soul reach You.
Let it seek refugee in You.
We beseech You fervently, O' Lord.
We beseech You fervently.
Fervently!
Let it rest in peace."
Let's leave.
Brother!
You take a cab home.
A cab?
Here you go.
Keep this.
Holy…
You had this all this while?
Why couldn't you spray it earlier?
Who could it be?
At wee hours?
You are…
Aren't you Chezhian's tenant?
Yes, madam. Leo.
Right, I remember seeing you here.
It was so embarrassing for me.
The police were all over my place
and you all crowded up here.
Well… tell me.
What brings you here?
Well, I think I left my phone here.
I can't find my phone since yesterday.
I searched everywhere.
I think the battery
would have drained too.
I have got an official conference call.
So, I thought…
instead of losing my job,
I better find out even though
I know I'm troubling you.
A phone? I didn't see any phone.
Oh.
Isn't Gilbert home?
He might help me out.
Gilbert? He always roams around
in the name of project work.
Oh.
Okay.
I'll leave then.
I think I'll lose my job today.
Fine.
Come in and search for your phone.
You said that you have
an important office call.
Come. Come in.
Good Lord! You caught me off guard.
Did the cops search here?
This is where they explicitly searched.
Apparently, that halfwit was hiding here.
Did you find your phone?
No, madam.
I'm not sure if my husband found it.
Even if he had, he wouldn't remember
where he kept it.
Alright! Why don't you
check in the backyard?
There's a possibility that
he could have left it there.
- In the backyard?
- Yes. In the backyard.
Son…
can you unplug
the grinder's power cord?
My hands are wet.
Son, please don't mind.
Can you fill-up the water in that vessel?
And, son…
I can't lift that grinder stone.
Place it on this.
Over here.
Rotate it. Rotate it.
Do this… like this…
I doubt you'd get married at all!
Come on! Do it properly.
Oh, God!
Son!
Son, where did you go?
Paari.
Hey, Paari…
Get up!
You got to fix the TV.
"A timely benefit,
though a thing of little worth.
The gift itself…
in excellence transcends the earth."
Go.
Switch to the news channel.
At Green Gates,
a sudden fight appeared to have erupted
between rival gang members
involving gunfires.
Police suspect that Mr. Paneer,
a 45-year-old businessman
was murdered in the action.
A gangster brawl.
Both the men have been
shot at point-blank range.
We are yet to find out how Mr. Paneer
was involved in this.
The other guy has been identified
as Alex Vemburaj.
A local hooligan.
He has been shot in the neck to death.
Both Alex and Paneer have been
shot dead at the same time.
Did you find the culprits?
We are looking for a mobster
called Rico and his gang.
We will catch him soon.
I appreciate my SI Chezhian and his team
for their commendable effort.
Sir! Rico has escaped
many times from your custody.
Do you have any plans
to kill him in an encounter?
Change the channel.
Rico, the criminal…
has been allegedly linked up
with various murder cases.
There are several pending
cases against him.
How did he escape?
You can't even go out to search for him.
Sir.
Your branch manager, Leonard…
has not given us any updates.
He asked for an FIR copy.
Somehow we persuaded the police
and got the FIR copy.
Persuaded?
Ask the police to call me.
- I will get it done.
- Sir.
I very well know why
you're doing this.
So you know it, right?
Cut straight to the point.
What's the value of the pendant?
As I said…
it is a miniature painting.
It is worth almost a million dollars.
- Oh.
- We had marked it as counterfeit…
and kept it aside.
If we can get back
the painting, we will…
I mean…
Both us and you…
can sell it in
the black market.
That's why we installed CCTVs.
But someone stole it.
The thief knew the pendant was there.
Also, the fact that
it was an original one.
He is also aware of the times when
the security guards are understaffed.
Coincidentally, there's been
corruption in the CCTV footage.
I know who did it.
I will take care of that.
What's my share?
Five percent?
Let's make it 25.
Sir, ten percent?
How about 35 percent?
- Sir, let's fix it at 25 percent then.
- Good.
Tell me, Leo.
Hey. I have shared a photo.
You said one of
Airaa's men is missing, right?
- Yes.
- Tell me if he is the one.
Hey, what's the update on the pendant?
First, answer my question.
Momentarily, I thought you found him.
You have sent me a "wanted sketch."
Bhai…
I asked you to introduce
me to Airaa, right?
After finishing a work here,
I can meet him directly.
First, complete the job at hand!
Filthy mongrel!
Wait, I'll poison you!
Clear out all the sharp items
in the storeroom.
Lock him up there.
Hey.
I know that you are being
illegally confined here.
You are one of Don Airaa's men, right?
I am eagerly waiting to meet him.
I'll tell him about
all that's going on here.
In return, I need you
to do a couple of things for me.
They are looking for my man
named Rico.
I want you to tell the cops
that he is one of your men.
One more thing.
You have to tell Airaa,
that I helped you out.
My name is Leo.
Do we have a deal?
Hey!
- What happened, sir?
- Hey!
Do we have a deal?
Open the door!
Open the door!
- Open the door!
- Who's there inside?
- Hey!
- Open the door.
Open! Now!
Will you open the door or not?
Open the damn door.
Move!
Hey!
- Open the door, dammit.
- Sir!
- If I break in, I'll beat you to a pulp!
- Sir!
Pass that to me.
Don't spare--
I'll beat you to death.
Hold this.
Die!
- Bring him out.
- Sir!
Is this how you handle
things when I'm not here?
First of all, how did he go inside?
How did he enter?
Why did you go inside?
I came here to meet sir.
A constable entered the room.
I presumed that Chezhian
must be inside.
How would I know that
I mustn't go there?
Chezhian!
Look, how it has ended up!
I did warn you.
Move!
Sorry, sir.
I told you not to come here.
It's okay.
Attend to his bruises.
- Bloody thief!
- Sir!
- Because of that egghead, I got an earful.
- Sir, it hurts.
- Sir, it wasn't me. I didn't steal.
- I'll rip you apart.
Please don't hit me, sir.
I didn't do anything.
- Hit him!
- Let me go, sir.
Nonsense!
Bloody…
Why are you here?
I'm here to turn myself in.
Why did you come to this town?
Oh.
Your girlfriend!
She is from this town, right?
Paari… you better leave.
Else, I will find her and finish her off!
You have harmed Blade.
You killed Alex, right?
Leo.
What happened?
Who is he?
He is Paari.
My acquaintance.
He is here to complain
about an altercation.
Do you want to file a complaint?
No, sir.
It might instigate
further complications.
Better to settle it amicably.
Also, he's a nice guy.
Why provoke enmity?
I will handle this.
Let's go.
Sir.
A body has been disposed of
on the lakeside.
Raagi, you mad girl. Come here!
Did you just call me a mad girl?
Whom did you call mad?
Of course, you!
Auntie, he says that I'm mad.
No, Mom. She is disturbing me.
Paari.
What happened, Raagi?
Paari!
Paari?!
- Where?
- In your house.
In my house?
Leo uncle brought him.
Leo uncle?
When you assaulted the woman
back then…
did the little girl notice you?
I'm not sure.
He had a scar near
his eyebrows.
And Leo uncle addressed him as "Paari."
Raagi…
we've set everything straight.
The police will arrest the whole gang.
We just have to sit tight and wait.
Are you coming with me or not?
I'm leaving.
Hey!
Hey!
Paari is with me.
Don't get caught by the police
in search of Paari.
You senseless…
Uncle, you got a video game charger?
Hey.
I don't even have a video game, lad.
Oh.
Are there any guests?
Guests?
No!
Why do you ask?
Just asked casually.
Nothing… okay, Uncle.
No one is inside.
There was nobody in there, Raagi.
But Paneer received a call about Blade.
Sounded like a kid's voice.
Irai and his friends have been missing
since evening. We are looking for them.
As it grew darker,
we stayed there over-over-overnight.
Someone else was here.
Rico and his men have enmity with him.
That could be…
Blade too.
Are there any guests?
Hey, hello.
Boys…
I don't know you guys…
and you guys don't know me.
But I'm here to pass a message.
"I will be coming for you. Very soon!"
- Rico said so.
- Rico!
Oh, God.
No way he could have known about us.
Hey.
Don't get too scared.
Before he gets to us…
the cops will nab him.
His posters are everywhere.
Yes.
One thing we can do is…
wait patiently.
If Raagi was right…
What if Paari is an acquaintance
of Leo uncle?
Paari?
Paari?
Back when I was working
in a radio station…
there was a colleague named Paarijatham.
She used to regularly
bring extra lunch for me.
That food tasted…
so horrible.
But…
just to hang out with her,
I would eagerly wait
for the lunch hour.
All of a sudden
she quit her job.
On a Tuesday, the 17th of the Tamil
month Thai, 1977.
I have forgotten countless things.
But this is one thing which
I really want to forget.
In my thoughts, so deeply…
Guys!
Weren't you digging up
something in our backyard?
What was that?
Grandpa, you haven't taken
your medicine.
Grandma might scold you.
Go take the medicine.
You are right.
I forgot.
And please don't tell Grandma
about Paari.
Mom!
Mom!
Coming!
Go!
Mom!
Go!
You little bastard…
