Shantaram (2022) s01e09 Episode Script

[RAIN PATTERING]
[THUNDER RUMBLING]
[LIN'S MOTHER] So, three days
and you still haven't caught him.
Thank you. Appreciate it.
Just 'cause I don't want you here
doesn't mean I've forgotten my manners.
He won't come.
I brought Dale up smarter than that.
What I don't get is why he escaped.
You know, my son pled guilty.
I guess he figured prison
just wasn't for him.
Not unusual.
Bruises all over him
every time I visited.
Now, you wouldn't know anything
about all that, would you?
[SCOFFS] Well, he does have
a way of winding people up.
Why do you hate my Dale so much?
[SIGHS]
I grew up in Otway. You know Otway?
Yeah.
[SIGHS] My old man, he's [STAMMERS]
He wasn't the smartest fellow, I guess.
Wasn't the biggest.
But he worked harder
than anyone. Anyone.
Yeah. Dug coal for 30 years.
And he was determined that I
would never go down in the ground.
No, no, no, no.
I was, uh, gonna have the chance
to go to university,
just like your Dale.
Make something of myself.
He died at barely 50,
coughing on all the
black shit from his lungs.
Honest work. And it killed him.
I never got to go to university.
So, I hate every little prick
who decides, ah, it's too hard for him.
Just gonna rob people or sell junk
and just piss all over
the rest of the world.
Like your Dale.
You know, it breaks my heart,
the thought that I'll
never see him again.
But I'll live without a goodbye
if it means he gets to have a life
away from bastards like you.
Ah, you'll see him again.
Right back where you saw him last time.
You can be fucking sure of that.
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
[ENGINE STARTS]
[CHATTERING]
Dr. Lin, I I cannot do this.
You are doctor. Not me.
I'm not a doctor. I never have been.
Look, you know pretty much everything
I know at this point, Parvati.
[IN HINDI] He says that he has
never seen a doctor like you.
You will be a great
doctor for Sagar Wada,
and people will come from far
and wide to consult with you.
Any man should be happy to
have such a person for a wife.
Be serious. This is not a joke.
Parvati. You're good at this.
I am girl. People not listen to me
If they wanna get
better, they'll have to.
Prabhu and Qasim will help you.
I wish you not go.
- You'll do fine.
- I don't just mean for the doctoring.
[LAUGHS]
[PRABHU GRUNTS]
I will need bandage now.
- She got you, huh? How's it feel?
- Yes, yes.
I will get you. And I will get you.
[SPEAKS HINDI]
Joke, hai?
- Joking. Joking.
- [SPEAKS HINDI]
[METAL CLANGING]
[QASIM SPEAKS HINDI]
Oho.
Khaderbhai has kept his promise, huh?
Inshallah, we will have
our own running water soon.
I know you think I set you up.
You did what you thought you had
to do, and I know you did it for us.
But you wish I hadn't.
Hungry men don't care
about the past, Lin.
So, is this our goodbye?
Why else would you be teaching
Parvati your medicines?
Or giving all your
rations to your neighbors?
Yeah, I guess it is.
Look, I just wanna say I know
I should have listened
to you more, Qasim.
Yes. You and everyone else
here because I am very wise.
And you, Mr. Lin, you are a
big pain in the pichhavaada.
[LAUGHS]
I will miss you all the same.
- [PEOPLE CHATTERING]
- [CAR HORNS HONKING]
I told you, he hasn't been here.
And you don't know anything?
Would I be here if I did?
Well, if he hasn't been back here,
then he doesn't have his passport.
So, where is it, huh?
I know you're fucking lying, Lisa.
Move, move. I said, move, move!
- Hey, you can't take those. Maurizio.
- You mean this? I can't take this?
- No?
- Maurizio, come on.
Listen to me.
I can do whatever the fuck I like.
Okay?
You're smart, Lisa, okay?
Much smarter than him.
Okay? And we can put this
right. All of us, together.
You tell Modena. Okay?
There's still enough time for all three
of us to leave town, but he needs
he needs to bring me that money, okay?
[LISA] Mm-hmm.
[LIN] What are we going to see,
Prabhu? I've got things to do.
The future, Linbaba.
- It's Arun's taxi.
- No!
Half the time now, it is my taxi.
He cannot be driving it
24 hours without sleep.
So, when he is not
driving, I'll be driving,
and he'll be taking very reasonable
percentage of my earnings.
Days, I will be tour guide.
Nights, I will drive passengers.
- Hey!
- When do you sleep?
- When I'm married.
- [CHUCKLES]
Now that you are going,
I will not be making much
from tour guide business.
So, without you, I'll be
one of the crowd again.
Ah, you'll still be [IMITATING
PRABHU] "number one guide in Bombay."
- [NORMAL VOICE] I've been thinking
- Hmm.
when I get my papers from Didier,
what do you say you and me
take that trip to your village?
Meet your family.
I mean, you said it's
beautiful there, right?
Lin, if I go home, my
father, who's not so modern,
he will hear about my courting
Parvati and want dowry.
Parvati's parents, they're
giving me permission to court her,
but I don't want their
mind to change, na?
And so, I want the wedding
to happen very fast.
I will tell Parvati's father I do
not need a dowry. Very modern of me.
He will be happy to have
modern views on this also.
Yeah, I'm sure he will.
You don't think you're rushing
this a little bit, mate?
I mean, you and Parvati haven't
really spent that much time together.
We have years for that
when we are married.
Anyway, tonight is our first
official outing, Linbaba.
No more sneaking.
Lin, this is very tough choice for me.
You are my good friend,
but Parvati, she is
No, I get it. I get it.
I'm happy for you.
- Reynaldo's?
- Yeah.
Actually, no.
You know what, I've gotta
see someone else first.
[KNOCKS]
Who is it?
[LIN] I'll give you three guesses.
I sat alone for two days in my hut,
then I realized you weren't
coming back, so here I am.
Here you are.
I had something urgent to deal with.
- [DOOR CLOSES]
- You still dealing with it?
Yes, as it happens.
I have responsibilities,
Lin. Same as you.
Not anymore.
I'm leaving tomorrow.
And, so we're clear,
I meant what I said.
And if I knew it meant you were
gonna take off and avoid me,
- I would still have said it.
- That's not why I left.
Is it why you never came back?
Anyway, I didn't wanna
go without saying goodbye.
Goodbyes are important.
So this is goodbye, hey?
Forever.
- Unless you have dinner with me tonight.
- What? Jesus.
It's my last night in
Bombay. Have dinner with me.
Just like two normal people.
You can even give me a list
of topics not to go near.
I'd like that.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
You might need to pick a place,
'cause I don't know where to start.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
- [PEOPLE CHATTERING]
- [HORNS HONKING]
Keep walking.
What the fuck were you thinking,
ripping off Raheem, Zhou?
Maurizio tore up our place.
I was scared, Sebastian.
Maurizio was going to leave
you behind, so fuck him.
I took it all.
- Lisa, we can go right now. We can
- How?
Maurizio took our passports,
so how do we get out, huh?
He'll be watching for us everywhere
we go. They're gonna kill you.
And they're gonna think
I was a part of it.
Lisa, you wanted me to be strong.
Not like this. You should
go before they hurt you.
Lisa, please listen to me.
Lisa, come with me. Please.
I'm sorry, I can't.
All those red notices and not one match.
Maybe Lin Ford is just another gora
hiding in Bombay from some
bad debt or angry wife.
All the best journalists I
know have one thing in common.
Total dogged persistence.
Oh, they do?
- What? I'm not saying you don't.
- You don't think I can do it?
What? You've just been humoring me?
There are other things
we can do to identify him.
[KAVITA SHUSHES]
Lin. How are you?
Ah, can't complain.
- I'm Lin.
- This is Nishant.
- He's, um, my boyfriend.
- I'm her friend boyfriend.
I'm Kavita's boyfriend.
Pleasure meeting you, Lin.
Yeah, likewise.
I don't suppose you've
seen Didier, have you?
Uh, not for a couple of days.
All right.
- Well, see you later.
- See you.
[IN HINDI] Has Didier been here?
Didier? Hmm no.
- [MUSIC PLAYING IN DISTANCE]
- [KETTLE WHISTLING]
[KNOCKS]
[CLATTERS]
Didier?
[DIDIER] Lin. I I
don't have your passport.
Okay.
What's going on, Didier?
[COUGHING]
[LIN] Look, I'm not going
anywhere until you open this door.
[SIGHS]
Hi.
Have you been out of
here since I last saw you?
Well, one of my neighbors is
happy to bring me food and drink.
I see no reason to leave.
[CLEARS THROAT, SNIFFS]
[SIGHS]
You want your photographs back
and the money to get what you need.
I have both I have
both, right right here.
- [SIGHS, MUTTERS]
- You haven't got my passport.
Great.
[SIGHS]
[LOCK OPENS]
[DOOR CLOSES]
[CLICKS, WHIRS]
[IN HINDI] This is dangerous.
Why did you come here?
Didi sold my debt to this place.
What could I do, tell them no?
When can you leave?
[SIGHS SHAKILY]
I'm here until my debt is paid.
You shouldn't have called my office.
What choice did I have? I
didn't know what else to do.
I couldn't understand anything.
I'm not a fool, Akash.
I know our talk of running
away, our life in Canada,
all that dreaming, it wasn't real.
I know I could only ever
be a mistress to you.
But now
I would like to see if you
love me as much as I love you.
A man in my position
And it is due to this position Walidbhai
has given you big money for Sagar Wada.
- Use the money
- [PANDEY SHUSHES]
Use the money you got for
Sagar Wada to set me free.
Oh! [SHUSHES]
If Walidbhai finds
out that you are alive,
his people will kill you.
In either case, I will die here anyway.
Still, you must never speak
of my arrangement with him.
It is not safe for you.
This is best for you.
You, you mean. I am not safe here.
Use Walid's money to
buy me from Madame Zhou.
Talk to her now.
And everything can be just as it was.
Akash? You also want the same, right?
[SIGHS]
Yes. Yes, of course.
I will do what needs to be done.
- [FOOTSTEPS DEPARTING]
- [DOOR CLOSES]
Please.
Ah.
What? Can't you just leave
me to drink and be depressed?
Karla once told me depression
only happens to people who
don't know how to be sad.
- What the does that even fucking mean?
- [CHUCKLING]
If Karla did less th-thinking and
more feeling, she'd be better off.
Yeah, can't argue with that.
So, what happened?
[SIGHS] Where do I begin?
My father was a wonderful
teacher with one exception. Me.
And my academic failures
offended him to his core.
His hand, uh, it seemed
to me when I was a child,
was so large that when he struck
me, my whole body was bruised.
You know, I lived in
terror of those blows
and the feeling of being utterly
worthless that came with it.
So, at 16, I ran away.
Just a young boy with his wits
and a certain degree of charm.
No one has struck me like that
since, not until the other day.
Those cops, it was the same.
They looked at me and
saw nothing of any worth.
Who gives a shit what they think?
Well, they Deep down,
I I knew they were right.
[DIDIER SIGHS]
What are those?
Reminders.
I keep them, uh uh, to remember
what a terrible human being I am.
I had a lover when I
when I was young. In Genova.
A beautiful man inside and out.
He taught me so many things.
Alberto.
Wrote the most beautiful
letters to me, you know.
I was born again in his arms, I think.
So, what happened with Alberto?
Uh, well, he loved me.
I loved him.
But then he made a
an error of judgment.
He [GROANS]
decided to, uh, test that love.
With all his wisdom, he didn't
know that love can't be tested.
Honesty, yes. Loyalty, for
sure. But not love. You know?
Love goes on forever,
ev even if we come
to hate the one we love.
You can love someone and
do terrible things to them,
all at the same time.
So, uh, you know
[SIGHS] Alberto allowed me to, uh,
discover where he kept his money,
so I took it all, and
then and ran away.
Love also means he'd have forgiven you.
You never saw him again?
Fifteen years later,
I saw him in the park,
and I hurried past him.
I [SIGHS]
I hurried past that good and
brilliant man who loved me,
simply because he was old
and no longer beautiful.
[SNIFFLES] His weakness, his
loneliness, they terrified me.
I didn't want to be part of it.
And now now I am him.
When I was in that jail being
beaten, I was back with my father.
Worthless, useless.
It was as if my whole life
has been a a mirage.
Only if you stay in this mess.
Whatever you're running
from, you already escaped.
Those cops, they're here.
Every time I walk the
street, it'll be in fear.
I'm a bank robber, Didier.
I escaped jail.
I'm one of the most
wanted men in Australia.
The cop who put me away,
he'd happily see me dead.
[STAMMERS] Why tell me?
This Is this like a
test? You know, I fail tests.
No, it's no test.
I just want you to know I understand.
I wake up every day and I still
think they're coming for me.
The fear doesn't go away,
whether you stay in here or not.
But every day we're free
is a kick in the balls
to those bastards.
Barry,
you know I don't like bad news.
It's a match. Today's the day, Sarge.
Bring it.
[FAX MACHINE WHIRRING]
[BEEPING]
Charlie. Charlie Pendergast,
he gave me the gun.
He didn't give it to me, but that's his.
I-I too I too I borrowed it.
Truth be told, he didn't give it to me.
I took it without him
knowing, but that's his gun.
- [DETECTIVE] Charlie Pendergast, you say.
- [STAMMERS] I promise you.
[CHUCKLES]
We have photos and recordings
from today and from your
time at Khandala with Sunita.
Your life will be over,
your reputation ruined, and
your wife and children disgraced.
But we're not your enemies, Minister.
We ask only for you to listen
to the will of the people.
[DOOR OPENS, DISTANT]
If their votes are in favor
of Khader Khan, so be it.
If Walid does not win the slums,
he'll kill me like he killed Rujul.
Walid did not kill Rujul. He
died for betraying Khader Khan.
And what about Sunita?
If you deny us, what do
you think happens to her?
- She says you love her.
- I do.
It would be so much easier
if I did not love her.
But I love my family as well.
I'm a man of position and status.
My wife's family are well-respected.
Sunita is just a Kamathipura ran.
I I-I was stupid
to think that I could have her.
You want everything your
own way with no consequences.
Of course I do.
Then trust Khaderbhai.
[SIGHS]
I'll I'll do it.
Then we'll keep your secrets.
And Sunita can be freed today.
M Maybe
Maybe it is better if
she were to stay here.
You're going to leave her behind?
You brought her here, not me.
[ZHOU, IN HINDI] It seems
all roads lead to Sagar Wada.
learns about Minister Pandey,
we'll assume you told, and
Khader will have you killed.
"We." "Khader."
You, you mean.
[ZHOU SCOFFS]
[LIN] I watched Didier's fear that day,
knowing too well what it was
to feel hunted and scared,
but also knowing the only way through it
is to say, "Fuck it," take a chance.
- Are they following or what?
- No, no. You're good. You're good.
- Ready for this?
- It's the cops. [MUTTERS]
After you.
[DIDIER SIGHS]
[SERVER] Hey, boss!
- Didier, my friend, welcome back.
- Good to see you.
[SERVER, LIN SPEAK HINDI]
- Hey!
- [PATRON] Good to see you. How are you?
Yeah, sorry. I was gone for a
while, but I'm back, yes. Yeah. Yeah.
[LIN] Yeah, yeah. No, we're good.
Hey, hey.
Namaste, namaste. I'm good.
[DIDIER EXHALES DEEPLY]
You might not want friends,
but you've got some anyway.
Yeah, one real one, at least.
[SPEAKS HINDI]
Uh, whiskey and beer. [SPEAKS HINDI]
It's the act of a
barbarian to drink standing.
- Hey. [LAUGHS]
- I need a piss.
Hey, Maurizio.
Where have you been?
I had some, uh, personal
business to attend to.
Has Modena contacted you?
Mmm. No, what would he want with
me, you know? [CHUCKLES] I mean
Passports.
If he does, leave word for me at
the bar or contact me on this number.
I assume he's not to know about
your interest in his welfare?
No.
You're in my seat.
You think I don't know what you did?
Then you know more than me.
But if it pissed you
off, then I'm happy.
[LAUGHS] Oh, you'll
get yours soon enough.
What was that about?
- I haven't a clue.
- Crazy.
Cheers.
[KHADERBHAI] How did it go?
Pandey gave it up faster
than a 50-rupee randi.
- [CHUCKLES]
- Karla crushed his balls in her hands.
Good. This is great news.
Karla?
Job's done.
[KHADERBHAI] Oh. [CHUCKLES]
Pandey must really love this woman.
Pandey's scared Walid will
kill him when he finds out.
He might.
But by then, it will be too late.
How I wish I could be a fly on the wall
just to see Walid's face
when he hears the news.
- Is this what this is about?
- No, but punishing his disrespect,
that is a bonus I
will not deny enjoying.
Karla, I know this wasn't easy for you.
Not as hard as it was on Sunita.
You feel for her.
She loves Pandey and asked
nothing but to be loved in return.
We manipulated that, and then
Pandey threw it in her face.
[ABDULLAH] So now she knows
not to trust politicians.
I thought this was meant
to be a celebration. We won.
Enjoy it. It won't happen every time.
I'm going to leave you two to
whatever this is turning into.
Karla.
Tell me, what can I do to
give you your happiness back?
I want to give Sunita her freedom
and enough money to
choose what to do with it.
Of course. But what do you need?
Hey. I'm not gonna need these.
You can keep 'em or share 'em out.
Which one you think I should be wearing?
This one?
Or this one maybe?
That one.
I was thinking this one.
Shit, yaar, I am very nervous, Linbaba.
It was much easier
when we were sneaking.
It's good to be nervous.
It means it matters.
I'm nervous too.
[PRABHU SPEAKS HINDI]
Why are you nervous?
And I'm confused why
you're spending money
on such a dinner with Karla Ma'am
when you're leaving anyway.
You're going to ask her to go
with you? That is your plan?
I like it, Linbaba. Much better
than sharing a village hut with
Arre, hero!
How can they not be loving us? Huh?
Look at us! We're handsome.
You can, uh, borrow my
other good shirt if you like.
No, I got it covered.
Achcha, I have one
question I must ask you.
Huh?
- Most serious.
- What do you need?
If you'll be bringing Karla
Ma'am here tonight for sexy time,
can I watch so I can learn best
things to do while making sex?
I got you, na?
I got you! Tell me.
[LAUGHS]
[DOOR LOCKS]
Why didn't you just leave with Modena?
Maurizio scared the hell out of me.
The whole thing was just too much.
Modena did all that to
prove that he loves me.
I threw it back in his face.
He'd be crazy to stick around.
[KARLA SIGHS]
- I wish you'd come to me first.
- [PAPER CRINKLES]
I could have arranged passports
and papers for you both.
I'm scared, Karla.
- I don't wanna go back to his place.
- Then stay here.
Are you all right?
I don't know.
[CHUCKLES]
I really fucking don't.
Madame Zhou admitted to my
face that she killed Ahmed.
Said it like she expected
me to understand it.
- Madame Zhou's a fucking monster.
- And what am I?
When I went to Sagar Wada to see Lin,
he almost died of cholera.
And I was jealous.
He knew what it was
for. It was worth it.
He told me he loves me.
And what'd you say?
No. Let me guess.
- You told him you don't believe in love.
- And then I ran away.
Maybe he's the answer
to what you need, Karla.
[KARLA SIGHS DEEPLY]
I've lied to him right from the
start about Rujul, Khader, all of it.
He deserves better.
Maybe you should let him
decide that for himself.
- [PEOPLE CHATTERING]
- [UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYS]
[SINGING IN HINDI]
[SINGING CONTINUES]
[SIGHS]
Okay.
Okay. I know what you're
thinking, and I don't blame
I was thinking about how long it
would take you to hit the ground
after we throw you through this window.
Hey, my supplier fucked us both. Okay?
When I gave him your money
this time, he disappeared.
I've been looking for him,
but I haven't found him yet.
Is that why you have
been packing up to leave?
You think I'm stupid, huh?
- [IN HAUSA] Open the window.
it's the truth, okay? It's the truth.
Look, Raheem, if I had your
money, would I still be here?
What is his name, your supplier?
Look, I'm gonna find him. I promise.
[STAMMERS] No! [GRUNTS]
No, no, no, no. No, no.
[GRUNTING] No, Raheem. No!
Lin. Lin Ford. Lin Ford. Lin Ford.
Lin Ford. His name is Lin Ford. Okay?
He usually hangs out at Reynaldo's.
I haven't seen him since I gave
him the money. But when I do
I'm gonna find him. And when I do,
I'm gonna come to get you at your hotel.
Because we are such good
friends, you and I, huh? [SCOFFS]
You look tired, Maurizio.
All this, uh, looking you've
done already. You rest, hmm?
We'll go to find this Lin Ford.
- [IN HAUSA] Let's go.
- Look Wait.
- He doesn't leave this place
- I know people
- until I say so.
- You need me out there! Raheem!
- If he tries, break his legs.
- Raheem!
[GRUNTS] Okay. Okay.
Huh? Huh?
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING ON FILM]
[GRUNTING, BLOWS LANDING]
[GLASS SHATTERS]
[IN HINDI] My friend.
My friend, come over here, quickly.
We are hungry. Hurry up. Come here!
What will you be having, Auntie?
Have whatever you want, Auntie.
Pattice and samosa looks good, huh?
Yes, give her one pattice.
[BOTH SPEAK HINDI]
[SPEAKS HINDI]
I am also liking candied
peanuts, Prabhu. Very delicious.
Oh, yes, my friend, candied
peanuts. We must have everything.
[SPEAKS HINDI]
[SPEAKS HINDI]
[SPEAKS HINDI]
- [MUMBLES]
- Hmm? Mmm.
[NANDITA SCOFFS]
Thank you.
[LIN] Sitting there, I felt like maybe
I could have what I wanted after all,
that I'd earned some freedom
and a future worth having,
one with Karla in it.
[CUTLERY CLATTERS]
[KARLA CHUCKLES]
- [LIN CHUCKLES]
- [KARLA SIGHS]
You look pretty special.
Scrub up well yourself.
It's all right, mate.
I got it. Thank you.
[SERVER] Yes, sir.
Nothing to see here.
[MUTTERS] Nothing happened.
- Smooth as silk.
- Mm-hmm.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
There we go.
[DISTANT CLANK]
Charlie.
- Charlie! There's someone in the yard.
- What? What?
- Listen to me.
- Huh?
Who's out there, eh?
[DETECTIVE] Senior
Detective Walter Nightingale,
Australian Federal Police, mate.
- Fuck! Get rid of that shit.
- We just wanna have a chat, that's all.
[NIGHTINGALE] Charlie, listen
to me. We're gonna come in now.
- [GRUNTS]
- [DOOR RATTLES]
- [GRUNTS]
- [SCREAMING]
Stop your fucking crying, Missy!
Get rid of that shit, will you?
Missy, move!
[PANTS]
[MISSY SCREAMS]
Shit.
[OFFICER GRUNTS]
[WHISTLES]
Round the back. Stay low, stay low.
- [GUN CLICKS]
- Oh, shit. Fuck.
Fuck.
[MISSY] Charlie, they're
coming round back!
No you don't, you bastards.
Fuck! Fuck!
[GRUNTS]
Holy fuck! All right!
All right! I'm done!
[WHISTLES] Hey,
everyone, hold your fire!
- Hold your fire!
- I'm coming out, all right?
Hold your fire.
[MUTTERS] Lay down on the
floor for me, will you?
- No, no, no. [MUMBLES]
- Lay down on the floor for me, will you?
It's okay. I love you.
All right!
All right. I'm coming
out. Don't shoot me.
You hear me?
I love you.
See my gun?
Gun on top of the car. All right?
Just a chat, mate.
Charlie, you wanna
put the gun down, mate?
Oh, fuck!
Fuck! Fuck! Jesus! Fuck!
[CHARLIE GRUNTS, GASPING]
I think I think you
shot me, you bastard.
[CHARLIE GROANS]
- Call me an ambulance.
- I will. I will.
- Listen, I just I just need to know.
- [GROANING]
Yeah?
The bank robbery
- Yeah?
- Did you shoot at Officer Floris?
Yeah. That was me.
Now get me some help. Get me some help.
- Where's Dale Conti?
- Dale?
Where's Dale Conti? No, no, no, no.
- You feel that? Can you feel that?
- [GRUNTS]
Hmm?
- Hmm?
- [WHEEZES]
- Yeah?
- [GROANING]
- [CHOKING, PANTING]
- Listen, listen, listen. Listen, listen.
You're dying.
You're fucking dying
and I'm the only thing
that's gonna stop it, okay?
So, just tell me.
Just tell me. Where is he?
You couldn't make Dale talk.
That gave you the shits, hey? [CHUCKLES]
- [GROANS, CHOKES]
- Mmm?
[GASPING] Okay, okay. If I
keep quiet, who wins then?
- [GROANING]
- Hmm? Hmm?
Okay. Okay, okay, okay.
I'll tell you. I'll tell you.
[BREATHES HEAVILY]
I'll tell you. I'll tell you.
Such is life.
[STRAINING] Fuck face.
[GRUNTS, BREATHES HEAVILY]
Straight face, he looks
at me Thank you.
And says, "Do you mind if I watch
so I can learn the best
things to do while sex making?"
- [CHUCKLES]
- I believed him.
I swear, he acts like such a clown,
but he is the most decent,
smartest man I've ever met.
I fucking love him.
All of them.
[SIGHS DEEPLY]
- It's just the wine.
- Of course.
Maybe you only told me that Prabhu story
to cleverly raise the
subject of sexy time
on your last night in Bombay.
You're as bad as he is.
Unless you're only raising me raising it
for your own sexy-time purposes.
Ahem.
Relax.
No, even if you're asking
I'm not saying you are
I don't think I could
do that and still leave.
And I do have to leave.
You shouldn't have to go.
Come with me.
Hey. No promises, no guarantees.
Just you and me together
for as long as it feels good.
- That why you asked me here?
- Yeah.
To do just this, to laugh, talk.
See how fucking easy it
is, how good it feels.
I hate the idea of not seeing you again.
I don't wanna go because
I'm in love with you.
Things aren't that simple, Lin.
They could be.
I mean, what's keeping you here?
What's so important that
it wouldn't be still here
if you decided to come back?
Look, I might be wrong, Karla,
but you look a lot like
someone you once described
as sitting alone in a sinking
lifeboat too scared to get out.
Maybe I don't wanna take
anyone else down with me.
I'm a great fucking swimmer.
[CHUCKLES]
- I can't.
- You could.
Mm-mmm.
I'll miss you, Lin.
A lot.
[LIN] If I'd have gone after her,
would she have changed her
mind, said yes to coming with me?
I'll never know.
I only know how different everything
that came after would've been.
Are you Didier Levy?
You have me at a disadvantage.
I heard you are friends with Lin Ford.
I need to find him. We
have business together.
Lin, yes. Well, he hasn't
been around for some time.
Last I heard, he had a
rather beautiful Swedish woman
in a suite at the Taj hotel.
And they had plans to visit,
uh, Varanasi, I believe.
But you may have missed him already.
But I'll be happy to assist
you in your business
You can't.
[KNOCKS]
[KNOCKS]
[MODENA] Lisa. It's me, Sebastian.
Sebastian, what are you
doing here? It's dangerous.
I made sure I wasn't followed.
I thought you were gone.
[MODENA SIGHS]
You should have gone.
I won't go without you.
Te amo, Lisa.
[WHIMPERS]
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry for what I said
earlier. I wanna come with you.
Karla's offered to help. She
can get us new travel papers.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
It's going to work.
Hey.
Go to Sagar Wada and find the
gora doctor, Linbaba. Okay?
Tell him Didier says to stay
there and not leave the slum.
If he isn't there, you must find Prabhu
and tell Prabhu to come here to see me.
- Okay? Just go. Go, go, go. Go, go.
- Okay.
Hey, if you don't let me
go, I'm gonna piss myself.
Any tricks, and I break your legs.
Ow.
Ow. [GRUNTS]
[THUG] I'm right out there. Hurry up.
[URINATING]
[TOILET FLUSHES]
[DOOR BUZZES]
Are you still writing a story on Lin?
- He knows?
- Mm-hmm.
Did he send you here?
I came here to ask you to stop.
Lindsay Ford is the name of a dead man.
Did you know that already?
Who Lin was doesn't matter.
What matters is who he is now,
the work he's doing in Sagar Wada.
If you publish your story,
he'll have to leave Bombay.
He doesn't deserve that.
Plenty of us deserve to be
punished for the shit we've done,
but Lin isn't one of them.
What is it that you do, Karla?
I mean, we hang out in
Reynaldo's and we all have fun.
We are friendly, but we're
not really friends, as such.
Look, I like Lin, okay?
But this is what I do.
I'm a journalist. And Lin's a story.
I make deals happen that shouldn't.
If you drop that story on Lin,
I'll give you a better one.
What is it?
Corruption, bribery, sex, and murders.
I can give you a story on how a
Bombay gangster is using them all
to try and get his hands
on the Sagar Wada slums.
All right.
I'm listening.
First, I need your word that
you'll walk away from Lin.
Whatever happens, he
gets to stay in Bombay.
Come inside.
No, I'm all right. I'm all right.
I'm sorry I shot him, Sarge.
So am I, Son. [CHUCKLES] So am I.
Still, we made a good
collar tonight, right?
Well, it's a result, either way.
Tonight was a fucking shambles.
Cops killing fellas like that turn
them into heroes for other scumbags.
[CHUCKLES]
[STAMMERS] And now
Pendergast can't tell us
where the little bastard is.
And I don't know
That's a fucking result,
somehow in your small mind.
This a fucking wind-up?
[LIN WHISTLES]
[SIGHS] Don't tell me you're leaving.
I need someone to get drunk with.
Lin, we're both leaving.
Mate, I just got here.
I'm gonna get shit-faced.
Lin, on y va. We can
have a drink at my place.
- Did something happen?
- Uh, I'll explain later.
- What's going on?
- I'm in a little trouble.
I need your help but elsewhere.
- Now, let's go.
- More trouble?
I left you alone for six
hours. What's going on?
Let's move on.
- Is he following you?
- Move on. Move on. Move on.
Come.
[GRUNTING]
What do you want? Why the
fuck are you following him?
- [GROANING] Leave me Leave me
- Why the fuck
- Why are you following him?
- [DIDIER] Not me. You.
- He's following you, Lin!
- Why you fucking following him?
An-an-and
there'll be others!
[CAR APPROACHING]
[TIRES SQUEAL]
What's going on?
What have you done, Linbaba?
What have I done?
Jesus Christ.
