If the cops find out, I don't know, I'll be fine.
But if Appu gets arrested, I can't help you.
You decide for yourself.
Muthu, Velu, you guys get into the second car.
MY DEAR MANISHA
What are you doing?
What does it look like?
My God.
Cheers.
How long are you going to be like this?
There are guests. It doesn’t look right, they’re expecting you…
What are they expecting me for?
Please, babe.
Let’s not fight again.
Listen, I know you’re feeling bad, okay?
But you have to be there for the sake of your brother’s soul.
I’m nobody's brother.
I’m nobody.
I don’t even exist.
What nonsense, Prabhu.
-You’re drunk. -Not drunk, dead.
Dead, dead.
Arvind is dead.
Prabhu, dead.
We killed. We… we killed.
Mannikam uncle sends his condolences.
So, are you all set for France?
Yeah. And you? All set for Chennai?
Not yet. Just finalizing some things for the deal. You know, formalities.
What formalities?
Warehousing, transport, logistics.
You don’t worry about that.
-We've got that covered. -Mr. Mannikam.
The MP wants to meet you.
Right now? Okay.
I'll be back.
Hello, Surya.
Listen.
This Rising Sun deal...
-Aren't you involved in it? -Appu?
-I need to have a word with you. -Yes, Aunty?
Sandy, just a minute, child.
Come.
You remember, we had spoken…
about…
about the restaurant.
Yes.
Hang on, I’ll be right back.
Try it, ma'am. My student has made it.
You too. It's very good for your bones.
Smells off.
Be careful, girl. It'll fall.
What are you doing here?
Still making that crap soup?
I had told you not to come here.
Sure.
But the cops told me that
you hacked an officer's legs and dumped him in the river?
You’re a dangerous one, girl.
What did you tell them?
First you tell me,
will you make me the head chef of your restaurant?
There needs to be a restaurant in the first place.
Listen, queen.
We both know the cops are on to you.
I can go and give them a statement right now.
Then you can spend the rest of your days cooking this crap
in the jail.
Hey, get some water.
There's some toxic shit in this soup.
Sorry.
Sorry, sorry. I'm so sorry.
Sorry, Satish sir, please.
-Now that everyone's here, I'll start. -Start.
Basically, Arvind had called me from the hospital.
He asked me to do some last-minute changes in his will.
Arvind has left his entire estate,
cash, Rising Sun and subsidiaries
to his only daughter, Apeksha.
She's the CEO and MD of Rising Sun,
-effective immediately. -Very good.
-Good. -Now, about the last-minute changes.
As you all know, before his passing,
Arvind was negotiating a deal with his Chennai partners
which he had asked me to finalize.
And the good news is that
Mr. Lucas and I have spoken with Mr. Mannikam,
and he’s accepted all our terms and conditions.
These are transfer papers.
Please sign them as soon as possible.
Uncle, what is this Chennai deal?
Leave it to me, kiddo.
You don't worry about it.
Just give me a straight answer.
Your uncle is still here. Don't worry.
There aren't many assets left,
but Arvind has left something for each one of you.
First, his brother Prabhakar.
What’re you looking at? Open it.
Okay.
WASSUP LOSER
Got you, fucker.
For Sandesh, a flat in New Bombay. But only after he passes college.
Which means never.
And for Mr. Lucas, Commander Lenin’s old cottage.
Arvind wanted the property to be formally in his name.
Anything else?
Five lakh bonus for Muthu.
And…
there are some charities. Nothing important…
Getting humiliated seems funny to you?
You thought Arvind was going to reward us?
It’s not about the fucking money.
What then?
It’s about respect.
Respect?
In all these years, this family has never shown me any respect.
And now that dog is laughing at me from beyond the grave.
But you know what? Fuck him!
-Because he’s dead, and I’m alive and I-- -Win.
You fucking win.
Only respect.
-Only respect. -What the--
-Only respect. -What are you doing, Prabhakar?
-What the-- -My dhoti--
-My dhoti will come undone-- -Line them up. Move it.
Come on. Make it quick.
Move!
Do you want the special treatment? Hurry up!
Hurry up! Quick!
-Hey! -Line them up together. Get them.
What's happening here? What happened?
-One second. -What's going on?
Calm down, Mr. Shetty? Why are you shouting?
You can’t do this. Without a warrant you cannot do this.
Madam, this is an interrogation. Why do you need a warrant?
-Stop the drama. Let’s go. -Come on guys.
Look, I have no problem with you.
But these two have a lot to answer for.
Didn't Arvind make it clear that his family is not to be bothered?
That's ancient history. Now, what I say will--
Inspector,
some people may piss their pants because they are scared of you,
but none of them live in this house.
Whatever happens here next depends entirely on you.
Hey!
-You filthy dog. God is watching. -Hey!
You are kidnapping a blameless old woman.
Shut up!
I’m taking this one with me.
Do what you will, but then…
I will not be responsible for what happens here next.
Have mercy! Have mercy on me, sir!
Come on!
I beg you!
Hey.
-Shut up! -Reshu.
You guys watch the backyard.
-Swathi. -Shut up.
Be careful.
-You didn’t come for the service-- -Ready to speak the truth?
Why are you doing this?
What do you want?
Money?
Property?
-Or revenge, because Swathi fired-- -Because I’m a fool.
How do I explain, Kirtima?
Arvind's death...
It’s…
-complicated. -Prabhakar.
I can handle complicated.
Got some whiskey?
Okay then.
Who is Manisha Koirala?
Oh, Lord, you're going on and on like a broken record.
You’re harassing an old woman for no reason.
God, give me strength.
Who is Manisha Koirala?
What a rude, insensitive man you are.
You’ll be cursed. Think of my age.
Shut up!
Look, I have all the evidence and witnesses.
Tell me the truth.
Or else this matter will be out of my hands.
Take her.
-I know, sir. -Sir.
-Let's go. -Just a moment, sir.
Hold it.
Hey! You like spitting, do you?
Hold her, sir.
I'll make sure you sleep on your own spit tonight.
All this is funny to you?
Inspector.
Please get away from my client.
Who the fuck are you?
You wanted to open a restaurant for your wife,
so you became a criminal.
-We made a mistake. -Mistake?
Arvind is fucking dead Prabhu, and for what?
Five fucking crores?
Actually, 2.5. The other 2.5 were Apeksha’s.
And what were you trying to achieve with 2.5 crores?
That wouldn’t even cover your company's debts.
No, we were planning to sell Last Resort.
And when were you planning on telling me this?
Tell you?
You were fired, right? By Swathi.
-What? -Who the hell are you, Prabhu?
-What do you mean? -This is not the Prabhakar I know.
But Kirtima--
Till recently, you wanted to divorce Swathi.
You’d make fun of her, saying that if she opened her restaurant,
the whole town would get food poisoning.
I was someone else then.
Now, I am me. Which means we were two different guys.
So different that you forgot your own dreams?
What happened to your plans for Hotel California,
"The sexiest five-star resort in whole South India”?
That was a stupid idea. Bullshit. Yuck.
-This is so stupid. -Why?
You know…
I have nothing against Swathi.
But,
how could she do this to you?
Kirtima, you don't understand Swathi.
She has done so much for me.
And what have I given her in return?
Lies?
False promises?
This restaurant is her lifelong dream.
This is real life, Prabhu.
In real life, my actions have consequences.
You know, when I look at you now…
all I see is a ghost.
Where is my old Prabhu?
And I’m not even talking about your looks…
but your behavior…
your stupid jokes, your laugh, your smile.
Your passion, it’s all gone.
I think you’ve been through serious trauma, and you need help.
No, no. I am sorry.
I am so sorry.
Baby. Prabhu, I am so sorry. Look at me.
Look at me. I am so sorry. Breathe, breathe.
Breathe out.
It's okay.
Come here.
Sorry.
I am sorry. Sorry, sorry, sorry.
I had told you
-that this would happen. -Sign here.
But no, you have to trust your gut feeling.
Sir, my gut was right, sir.
We need her testimony to arrest Swathi.
If you make one more arrest without sufficient proof,
you won’t get to see a penny of your pension.
-Excuse me. -Yes, please.
Thank you.
Mrs. Swathi Shetty.
I will not let you get away with this.
Sir…
You spoke to the sketch artist?
Yes, sir. Shall we head there now?
You go. I have something else to take care of.
Thank you so much, Satish sir.
Sorry I called you in the middle of your lunch.
No, it's all right.
Listen.
I have a few contacts in Mainjur.
I think you are going to need a lawyer.
Just let me know.
-Okay. -Take care.
-Thank you. -Let's go.
Your sister from the beauty parlor, what’s her name?
She’s not my sister.
Yeah, whatever. We have to shut her up.
She doesn’t even know your name. Why bother?
But she’s seen my face.
Here’s 10,000. She can't name me to the cops, okay?
You’ll get another ten later.
I don't get along with that bitch.
Do it if you want the job.
The police will ask about me,
ask for my description.
But she shouldn't tell them anything.
Then what should she tell?
Mom?
Sandy, you scared me.
Dad didn't come?
Dad? Didn't he come with you?
No, he went to the office.
-Office? -Yes.
I guess he had some accounts and stuff to take care of.
He was talking to Kirtima aunty too.
Kirtima?
Yeah, they had a meeting.
She had come home that day too.
Which day?
You called?
We need to talk.
Where is Prabhu?
What?
How do I know?
Fine.
Hotel California, 7:30 p.m.
-You got the photo? -Yes.
I've transferred the money.
-Tell her to focus on the job. -Don't worry.
And memorize the features carefully.
-Yes, I'll tell her. -Yeah, okay. Bye.
MY DEAR MANISHA
Have you signed on the agreement?
What is Uncle’s cut?
Sorry?
For helping you with the deal.
What’s his commission?
Zero.
He’s doing it for you, Apeksha.
And after Arvind sir's passing, he felt…
and I also felt,
-it’s in your best interests if we-- -Buy me out.
I mean your business.
-Not just mushrooms but also-- -Everything.
From transportation to distribution,
you want Rising Sun.
-And we’re willing to offer you a-- -A hundred crores.
Plus one-tenth royalty.
-Yeah. -No.
-What? -Thanks for the offer.
It's very generous of you and Mannikam sir, but no.
But the deal’s already set.
I’m not signing off on the deal, Surya.
Wait.
Wait!
What’s the problem? Is it money?
Because I can speak to Mannikam uncle.
Money is not the problem.
But you are going to France.
Do you realize what you've just done?
Excuse me?
Chennai will not let this slide.
Uncle, first of all, don’t take that tone with me--
Shut up!
Appu,
finally when things are happening just how you wanted them to,
why are you throwing it all away?
What's gotten into you?
Uncle, this one time I'll forgive you.
Now, listen carefully.
You are not my dad.
My dad is dead.
And you are only my bodyguard.
Hey. Hey!
-Have you found anything? -No, sorry.
-Have you found anything? -No, madam.
I want to ask one thing.
Is there any other place
where your son kept his documents?
-No. -Sure?
Yes.
Inspector, I have to go somewhere.
Of course, of course. There's only one question.
There was a statue here, Laughing Buddha?
It fell. It broke.
I was cleaning.
Cleaning?
Okay, Mrs. Nadar.
Where do you have to go?
Church.
Market.
-Market? -Yes.
Mrs. Nadar, you are trying to hide something from me.
You can trust me.
He said he would kill me if I told anyone.
Kill you?
Yes.
Oh, no.
Come, come. Please, sit.
Who will kill you?
The bullet that will kill you.
Tell me.
How does that man look?
It's in his eyes. His eyes.
-Hello? -Where are you?
-I’m coming. -When?
I’m coming.
Hello?
Swathi?
Over here.
I didn’t wish for any of this to happen.
I'm sorry, really sorry, for what I did.
I wanted to stop,
-but Prabhu and I, we were so-- -Yeah, yeah.
Get to the point.
He’s scammed me of 30 crores, you know?
And then he cooked up a blackmail story to get more money from me.
Who puts all these ideas--
This is hard evidence, Swathi.
Then why didn’t you go to the police?
I can.
And I will.
Whatever it takes to protect Prabhu.
Protect him?
From what?
You think that’s funny?
Both of you will go to jail, Swathi.
You, Prabhu, Appu and maybe even Sandy.
-Arvind is dead because of you-- -Yeah, yeah.
I don’t have time for games.
Come to the point. What do you want?
Unbelievable.
Fine, I’m leaving.
Prabhakar.
What?
I want Prabhakar.
I want you to divorce him.
Or?
Or what?
That’s it? Divorce?
That’s it.
Not everyone is greedy like you.
Shit. You’ve actually fallen in love with my husband?
At least one of us has.
Babe, you don’t know the first thing about love.
Get married once, you’ll forget all about love.
Swathi, I’m not here to argue.
You let Prabhakar go and I’ll let you go. Simple.
Otherwise…
Otherwise, I’ll go to the police.
So, you want my husband?
Yes.
No.
What did you think?
That you can threaten me?
That you'll snatch my husband from me? And I’ll let you?
Shit.
Just a minute, yeah? Please.
-Hi, Aunty. -Hi, Appu.
Sorry, can I call you back? I am in the middle of something.
-What? Oh, yeah. -Can you meet me at the guest house?
Got your answer?
Fuck you, Kirtima.
You picked the wrong woman to mess with, you slut.
Are there more?
Swathi.
-Are there more? -No, no.
No, only Lucas. He made me do it. I’m sorry.
I gave you a chance, Swathi.
But now you are finished.
You hear me? Fucking bitch.
You don't know who I am, you cunt!
You think you could fuck with me and get away with this? Filthy bitch.
Be careful.
Make sure no one suspects a thing.
This stupid plan of yours better work, woman.
You can be nice to me once in a while.
We are in this together, after all.
Appu is still here.
That's why you aren't the one in the boot.
Once she is in France, you are on your own.
Fucking asshole grandpa.
Lucas?
Charles Lucas?
Hey, kiddo.
You are here with me.
Okay.
I guess I am on the right track then.
What the…
Hey--
Fuck.
Can't find a thing.
Nothing at all.
Hey!
Thupalli, my dear,
we are a team, aren't we?
And we are almost there.
We just have to find what that dipshit stole from Nadar's house.
Gotcha.
Sir.
Sir, you have to see this sketch.
-Inspector Hassan. -Sir.
You've come.
Everyone, he’s the man.
Sir, please have a look at this proof.
This confirms Swathi Shetty and Umesh Mahto's affair.
Swathi is Manisha Koirala.
I found these at Charles Lucas’ house.
Inspector, I'm aware that you like your drink but…
what the fuck is this?
Sir?
How did this happen?
I checked the pictures before I put them in the envelope.
That bastard Lucas. He did this.
I had the proof, sir.
There were dirty pictures.
It happens.
-You told him? -I tried, sir.
It's okay.
What is it?
Come in.
Meet Kirtima Kadathanathan aka Manisha Koirala.
Binny.
Sir.
Look at this.
Burka.
Love letters.
From Kirtima to Umesh, Umesh to Kirtima.
There’s surely a romance novel in here somewhere.
-No, sir, it is not like that-- -And yes.
It is exactly like you had said.
There's no connection between the blackmail and Prabhakar's sex life.
This is because of the money laundering that he was doing for Arvind.
Kirtima had access to the accounts,
so she, along with Umesh Shetty--
Sir, it's Pillai.
Mahto.
She conspired with Umesh Mahto.
Listen to this.
Only you
How can I live without you?
Do you remember the name of this song?
From the film Bombay.
Arvind Swamy and…?
Manisha Koirala, sir.
Manisha Koirala.
It all makes sense now.
So…
Nadar's accident,
Umesh Shetty's body at Suicide Point,
Thupalli’s murder,
Manisha Koirala did all of it.
Just not your Manisha Koirala.
Swathi knows, sir,
that I am very close to catching her.
Hey, you got the sketch from the parlor lady?
Have a look, sir.
-Show him. -Look, sir.
Breaking news from Mainjur, where there's been a death by suicide.
The incident took place in a residential area.
We are here live. Let's find out more.
What can you tell me about Kirtima's suicide?
This is very heartbreaking. She was such a happy person. Always spoke nicely…
You know, Aunty…
Dad died telling me that I wasn’t going to France to study art.
I am just running away from here.
But you are going, right?
For the first time in my life,
I feel like I finally understand him.
What are you trying to say, Appu?
I know Dad was unfair to you.
But I am in charge now.
And I had made you a promise.
Take it. It’s yours.
What?
All this.
I’m giving you the restaurant.
No, your restaurant.
Yes.
Oh Sinnerman, where you gonna run to?
Sinnerman, where you gonna run to?
Where you gonna run to?
All on that day
Well I run to the rock
Please hide me, I run to the rock
Please hide me, Lord
All on that day
But the rock cried out
I can't hide you, the rock cried out
I ain't gonna hide you there
All on that day
I said, "Rock What's the matter with you, rock?"
Don't you see I need you, rock?
Good Lord, Lord
All on that day
So I run to the river
It was bleedin', I run to the sea
It was bleedin', all on that day
So I run to the river
It was boilin', I run to the sea
It was boilin', all on that day
So I run to the Lord
Please hide me, Lord
Don't you see me prayin'?
Don't you see me down here prayin'?
But the Lord said…
Yet, when you reach the end
and find yourself lost…
turn and take a look over trails that are crossed.
Shrouded in fog of loss and pain,
like footprints vanishing in rain.
