Jigra (2024) Movie Script
O Goddess of Calcutta, hail!
May Your promises always prevail!
May Your promises always prevail!
- It's magic, isn't it, Sis?
- You doubt it?
Ankur, listen. Don't stress.
Just tell me who did this.
I'll go easy on them.
Easy? You never go easy, Sis.
It's okay. It doesn't hurt too bad.
Just tell me who did it.
I'll make them pay
for every single scratch on you.
Manek Irani,
Mahesh Anand,
Ranjeet, Amrish, and Jeevan.
Ask them to meet us behind the tank
tomorrow during lunch time.
Leave the rest to me.
Sis, I'm hungry.
I'll make you a sandwich right away.
What's papa doing?
I'm sorry, Satya.
- Ankur, don't look!
- Papa
Satya.
- Satya--
- There's a bouquet less in the gallery.
The lamp oil under uncle's photo
is running out.
- Satya--
- I found this in Uncle Sonu's room.
Sorry, I'll flush it down the toilet.
What were you saying?
Kavita?
Single malt for me.
Yes, sir.
Everyone says, "Mr. Mehtani
is running an orphanage.
He offers distant relatives a home
and helps arrange
their weddings as well
whereas they are just using you."
But I don't believe that. I always say,
it's God's bidding and I'm only the means.
Right? Here's Satya!
- The ceremony can't be delayed.
- It won't be.
That's it! She's reassured us,
so there's nothing to worry.
She is my cousin brother's daughter
Satya
Satya, what are you doing?
Who told you?
Satya, I have to elope.
They won't accept Kavita.
Let me go.
Does uncle know?
She's with my child. We have to elope.
I want to marry Kavita,
not some rich girl.
Out of all people,
you should understand that.
Satya!
Satya
Your future in-laws have dozens
of police cases against them.
Listen. You two can run away today, okay?
But her father will find you,
and he will kill her
along with your child.
Can you live with that?
- Satya--
- Nakul.
Do you love her?
Then keep them alive.
- What's going on, dear? All set?
- Yes.
Why are you doing this?
When will you change?
There's a wedding in the house.
Yes.
Hey, it's your big day today.
Get ready!
- Yes.
- Come on!
There's a job waiting for you in London,
and a school for your kid.
Mr. Mehtani always looks after his staff.
Consider this your bonus.
My love is not for sale, Satya!
This money is not for you,
it's for your child.
Where's Nakul?
Nakul isn't coming.
You love Nakul like your own son.
You've organized
such a grand wedding for him
Stop whining!
Everything's solved. Go now!
- Come on, cheer up.
- He did this
It's time to celebrate.
What's going on? Come on.
Nakul's father-in-law insists
we don't miss the auspicious hour.
- Come on.
- So don't be late.
Satya, thank you very much.
You know how short-tempered
these people are.
And my work would also get stalled.
Kavita needs to be taken care of
till her London visa comes through--
I trust you. I'll cover all her expenses.
- Okay.
- Listen.
There's a wedding in the house,
and you're still in uniform? Go, change!
Right away.
Listen. Where's Ankur?
I don't see him around.
He ought to be there.
- Yes.
- We're family after all.
Yes, Uncle.
Have you seen Ankur?
I sent his dinner to his room.
Anku?
I just greeted them and left.
Her gaze is lowered
Are they full of longing?
Her gaze is lowered
Did your girlfriend dump you?
Eat up.
Stay hungry. Stay foolish.
You'll always stay foolish.
Listening to a sad ghazal at your age?
Sis, the Alpha release is ready.
Will uncle hear my pitch?
Of course.
He's calling from an Indian number.
Isn't he in Melbourne?
He just wanted to skip the wedding,
else he'd be here today.
Did he get expelled again?
Sis, I can't answer for him.
How am I responsible for that?
But, Sis
- There's a get-together at his friend's--
- No.
How long will you treat me like a kid?
Kabir is my best friend.
He is, and you know that.
Why don't you go
and tell him not to talk to me?
- Finish eating.
- Stay hungry!
Hey, Jigre!
Yes?
If you want to go, then win and show!
Let's go!
Game to 11. Winner's ball.
When did you play last? Can you remember?
Inside 2, outside 3.
No 3 pointers, Sis.
Why?
- Come on, put in some effort.
- Oh!
You start!
No check ball?
No warm-up?
Oh, I'm sorry.
You need a warm-up. I'll wait.
What are you doing?
Anku!
Bye.
So that's your game?
Okay!
Anku!
I'm not going anywhere. Happy?
Ankur, come on. I'm sorry.
Okay, hold on.
The game isn't over yet.
You can still win.
Anku!
The staff was saying
you don't want Kavita to be your boss
and that's why
you are chasing her out of India.
Who cares about what people say?
The ones who care
jump off their balconies.
Kavita will be fine in a few months.
I'm worried about Kabir.
Satya, no need to worry.
Kabir thinks of you two as family.
We are staff, Ratna,
and staff is always on duty.
Double A!
Rascal!
Hey! What are you doing?
- Get up.
- Come on, Kabir!
We're meeting after six months,
and this is how you react!
Give me a hug before giving the gifts.
Come here!
How are you, bro?
Come here! How are you?
- Fine. What about you?
- All good.
Listen, get ready quickly.
I've told my father
that you're giving him a presentation.
I've exaggerated it greatly.
Please live up to it!
- Okay.
- I'll see you downstairs.
Trust me, Dad.
There's nothing like it in the market.
He got rusticated again.
Be quiet!
- Mom, bless me.
- You're too much.
- Not the hair, Mom.
- Well
Did you do the entire coding
and interface, Ankur?
Yes. Yes, Uncle.
Impressive!
Just look at Ankur.
He studied in an Indian school,
yet he's so smart. Whereas you
He is my brother after all.
He's your true heir.
I'm adopted. I've always known it.
Shut up! You talk nonsense.
I know
Narayanan wants to invest in FinTech.
So I'll speak to him, it'll be done.
I knew you guys would work
wonders together.
So it's actually happening?
Yes, both of you!
You rascal, why don't you ever react?
Dude, get up! Come here. It's happening!
Sis, come here.
It's so big! It's happening.
I'm so happy!
Dad, it's happening, right?
It won't happen
unless you go and start packing.
You know what? Truer words
have not been said! Let's pack!
- Satya, book them a charter flight.
- Okay.
Uncle, thank you. Thank you so much.
- Hey, come on. Well done!
- Thank you.
Destination Hanshi Dao.
Text me when you take off and land.
Eat on time!
Just focus on your work.
Don't go anywhere unnecessarily.
Okay?
Am I allowed to breathe? To live a little?
Oh, God, Sis!
Don't worry. I'm with him. Let's go.
- Hey, stop!
- What happened?
- Mom, please.
- Of course, she must bless you.
See you. Come on.
Stop crying!
- They'll be all right.
- Yes.
How quickly they've grown.
Now they're off on a business trip.
I wanna love you
I wanna uhh you
Good luck follows me wherever I go
I wanna tell you something in Telugu
You smell better than Biryani
'Cos I'm a Pan India Area King
Pan India Area King
+91 Ring-ring-ring
Pan India Area King
Can you do it with music, bro?
Sweet Juliet, hip Majnu
I'm richer than the richest
When I call you
Let's dip ourselves in sugar
We'll add milk and make Payasam to relish
'Cos I'm a Pan India Area King
Pan India Area King
+91 Ring-ring-ring
Pan India Area King
Oh, you called? I asked you to call?
I regret to inform you
But Pan India Area King
Is too busy for love
I don't have a fortress,
But I'm still the king
Pan India Area King
Pan India Area King
+91 Ring-ring-ring
- Oh, no! Kabir, slow down.
- Let me think.
- Just let me think.
- Hold on.
- We should've hired a taxi.
- I'll handle it.
What's the penalty for drunk driving?
- Hope we don't get thrown into jail.
- Hold on.
It'll be fine.
I'm sorry, sir. Is there any problem?
Sir, we were just headed to the hotel.
- There's nothing in the car, sir
- Get out!
- Get out!
- Sir, we were just
Sir
Sir, that's my passport. I'm from India.
We're just going to the hotel.
That's all, sir.
- Please, I need to talk to my dad--
- Get inside!
Ankur, don't say a word.
Come on.
Mr. Mehtani, I understand
what you're saying
but Hanshi Dao shows no mercy
to drug offenders. It's death.
- I can try to save one of them.
- Yes.
Yes, I know.
Do your best.
What is it?
I can't get through to Kabir.
There should be a way. Just find out.
Talk to Narayanan.
Hello?
Yes?
- Yes. Satyabhama Anand.
- I'll talk to you later.
Yes, please.
Sis?
Ankur, did you screw up?
Did you do drugs?
- No, I didn't.
- Okay.
Did anyone use your phone?
Did Kabir use it? No?
Are you sure your blood sample is clean?
Don't worry, you'll be okay
Blood sample?
Ankur, how is Kabir?
Why can't I talk to him?
What have you guys done?
You were supposed to look after him.
How could you let this happen?
Give it to me. Stop this drama!
- Hello?
- Uncle, I have no idea what's happening.
- I warned Kabir.
- Relax. You'll be fine.
I'll fix it, Ankur.
Lawyer Jaswant is on his way.
He'll take care of everything.
Just do as he says, okay?
- You want to go home?
- Of course!
Then do precisely as I say.
Follow my instructions and say
exactly what I'm telling you to say.
Two officers will come in once I leave.
You're going to tell them
those drugs don't belong to you
but to Ankur.
That he panicked
and stuffed them in your pocket.
- What?
- That's what you're going to tell them.
Exactly these words.
Ankur knows absolutely nothing about this.
It's all my fault.
He doesn't know anything about it.
We have no other option, dear.
Uncle, I don't know what you think,
but he's like my brother.
I can't do that to him.
It's okay, come.
They show no mercy to drug offenders
in this country. It's death.
I can't die here! Get me out, please.
Just help me. Get me out of here.
I don't want to stay here. Please.
Hello.
How are you?
Recognize me? I'm Jaswant.
Mr. Mehtani must've told you about me.
I'm also family.
The things you kids do!
We have a little problem.
You know that Kabir
has two drug related cases in India.
A third case is very bad for him.
He could face the death penalty.
So don't worry.
When the cops come here,
tell them that the drugs
don't belong to Kabir, but to you.
Sir, what are you saying?
See, we'll prove
that there was less than one gram.
You'll be back home in a few months.
And the Mehtani family
will be there for you.
Sir, what about my career?
What happens to my career
if I'm convicted?
We're talking about Kabir's life,
and you're worried about your career?
Sir.
This is the only option
if Kabir has to live.
Sir, I want talk to Kabir.
- Impossible.
- Sir, I must talk to Kabir.
It's impossible, I'm telling you.
Okay?
I know that he
and the whole Mehtani family
are depending on you.
Your career is absolutely safe
with the Mehtani family.
You are a part of them.
That's why I'm here.
Your brother needs your help, dear.
For official records,
you just need to say, "Yes, I agree".
Admit you're a drug trafficker.
Hey! Look at me!
Admit you're a drug trafficker
and you got these drugs
to sell in the market.
Okay? Now you can say 'yes' or 'no'.
Yes.
Yes, I agree.
Where is Kabir?
Kabir is fine
but I'm sorry about Ankur.
There was no other way.
Okay.
The State Vs. Ankur Anand.
Do you agree to this confession?
This confession in front of me,
do you agree saying 'yes' to it,
Mr. Anand?
Yes.
Death by electrocution in three months.
Death by electrocution in three months.
What did he say!
This has to be a mistake! It's not me!
It's a mistake!
Mr. Mehtani has sent you
some local currency.
Is this charity?
I'll have many expenses there.
I can't keep asking him.
Ask him to transfer Rs. 2 crore and
arrange a charter flight to Hanshi Dao.
- What?
- You heard me.
- Sis, I'm really sorry.
- Kabir.
I didn't mean for it to happen.
I'm really sorry.
Kabir, let's go. Go, sit in the car.
I'm really sorry. We tried everything.
Yeah?
A fire has broken out
in Mr. Mehtani's office!
What?
A fire?
What's papa doing?
Ankur, don't look!
I'm sorry, Satya.
Just tell me who did it.
I'll make them pay
for every single scratch on you.
Could I get you something?
Everything.
May I get you the menu?
Give me everything.
Jiang Ge prison
is situated on Ying Zhu island.
Ying Zhu island has been
a part of Hanshi Dao since 2014.
Our jail is fully automated.
We were the first in Hanshi Dao
to be part of the digital universe.
Prisoners wear color coded t-shirts
according to their crime.
Agitators of separatist movements
are held in different cells.
Long live the revolution, Geming Wansui,
Hanshi Dao Down Down!
These slogans are banned.
Prison rules and guidelines.
This is the only holy book
you need to think about.
The rules of conduct
that will apply to you
will also apply to me and my officers.
You must understand.
You and I, we are in the same boat.
We have been at the forefront
for technology and innovation.
But at the core of it
- Sir, could you please change your gloves?
- Come here.
Sir, could you please change
your gloves first?
You haven't changed your gloves, sir.
- Sir!
- Hey!
- Hey!
- Yes, sir?
- Go, wait in my office. Now.
- Okay.
- Sir, he didn't change his gloves.
- You keep quiet!
Send in another officer.
Sir, are you Indian?
- Stay behind!
- Sir, are you Indian?
Stay behind!
- Sir, do you understand Hindi?
- Stand behind!
- Sir, I'm innocent. I was framed.
- Stand behind!
- I'm innocent. I was forced to confess.
- He is not even listening to me.
They said I'd get three months,
not the death sentence.
Sir, I'm innocent. I'm an engineer.
Why would I do all this?
If my great-grandfather was alive,
then maybe he could understand
what you're saying.
I do not, because I am not Indian.
You understand or not?
Yes, sir. My name is Ankur Anand.
Sir, I'm an orphan. I only have my sister.
Sir, I didn't do anything wrong
Boy, you must learn to listen.
You understand or not?
I listened to you just now, right?
Now you must listen! Stand straight.
Put your hands down. Stand straight.
Put your hands apart.
Yes, lift up your tongue. Up. Down. Good.
It's okay.
Clear!
Bend over. Spread your legs.
Cough!
Cough!
Clear!
Okay, clean. Up! Come here.
Make sure you put on fresh gloves.
Come.
You are purple shirt?
You don't have a lot of time, you know.
Read this, cover to cover. Understand?
Turn to your right. Carry on.
Next! Come forward.
They call this a city.
That's what they say.
But the law of the jungle rules here.
The jungle.
The lizard eats the ant.
The frog eats the lizard.
The snake swallows the frog.
The mongoose gulps down the snake.
The wolf sucks the blood of the mongoose.
The tiger devours the wolf.
Here, the strong survive
by killing the weak. Get it? They kill.
Body check.
Stop! Store your luggage in the locker.
M-My brother
Store your luggage in the locker.
Sorry, the locker
Keep the bags.
- Phone.
- Phone also.
- Here.
- 50 Shin.
- Here.
- Token.
Thank you.
Do not run! Stop. Go over here.
Where to go?
Where to go?
Visiting my brother.
There?
Excuse me.
Yes?
- Am I late?
- Hold on!
- Am I late, sir?
- Hold on. I'm giving you a pass.
My brother Ankur Anand
is my brother's name.
Okay.
Where to go?
Calm down.
- You're not late.
- Okay.
Please sit. I'll call. Please sit.
Satyabhama?
This is the only face-to-face visit
you have.
After this, make application
for tele-visit. You follow?
- How do I look?
- What?
Do I look sad?
Oh, yeah. Little sad.
Now?
Very sad.
That way.
Even if the stars disappear
Or the moon hides
I'll keep you close
Whether something happens or not
I'll keep you close
If a terrible storm encircles you
I'll keep you close
Even if the stars disappear
Or the moon hides
I'll keep you close
Where has this path led me?
You'll follow me wherever I go
Where has this path led me?
You'll follow me wherever I go
If the world turns its back on you
I'll keep you close
If the dark clouds hide the glorious sun
I'll keep you close
If the sea dries up and the sky falls
I'll keep you close
Ankur.
They tell me
I have only three months to live.
Listen to me.
Ankur.
Look! Look at me!
You are my brother, aren't you?
So I'll always protect you.
I will not let any harm come to you.
Ever.
Where has this path led me?
You'll follow me wherever I go
Where has this path led me?
You'll follow me wherever I am
If the world turns its back on you
I'll keep you close
If the dark clouds hide the glorious sun
I'll keep you close
If the sea dries up and the sky falls
I'll keep you close
Even if the stars disappear
Or the moon hides
I'll keep you close
Where has this path led me?
You'll follow me wherever I go

You'll follow me wherever I go
All new inmates of Cell Block B4.
This is OIC Landa. Welcome.
You all have been given
access to counseling
to help you adjust mentally
to your new conditions
which in turn will be good
for your rehabilitation.
But before that
all of you in purple t-shirts on death row
especially those amongst you
on drug charges,
let me make some things clear.
Listen to this, gentlemen,
and listen very carefully,
for it will help ease your pain,
clear your confusion
and it'll put your hope to rest.
Your fathers, your mothers,
your brothers, uncles, sisters
Got friends? Got cousins?
All of them outside
will be trying to delay the inevitable
your death.
But it's a waste of time.
It's a waste of time.
When it comes to immigrants here,
they make examples out of them.
Coco! Why didn't you fill the generator
with diesel?
What am I paying you for?
To dry your nails?
- Sir, Satya.
- Yes?
Ankur Anand, my brother.
We had an appointment today at 4 p.m.
- Right, right. Ankur. Narcotics, yes?
- Yes.
You see, his sentence
is such that time is ticking for him.
The clock hands are moving.
I can slow them down a bit.
That is all I can do.
Sir, I I want to take him home.
This isn't like an Indian jail.
It's clean, the food is good.
Recreation is good.
You think he chose to be in jail?
If it was someone you loved,
would you say,
"Eat, drink and be merry?"
In this case? That's what I'd say.
I would immediately appeal
then try and get the sentence delayed
for a few months.
Our NGOs are here to help Indians
but please don't distribute your posters.
The government will object.
Especially since it's a case of narcotics.
Then we won't be able to help at all.
The presidential pardon
is only possible in two instances.
If the convict is underage,
or mentally unstable.
Hey! Pass the ball!
Brother, pass the ball!
Is he deaf?
- Rayyan.
- Rayyan! Let's go.
- Crazy guy!
- Ready to lose again?
- Hey!
- I've seen your face before.
New boy!
Hello.
Didn't I greet you sweetly?
Sure you did, Rayyan.
I even smiled.
- No, you didn't.
- What's his problem?
Rayyan!
Hello!
Why don't you greet me back?
- Rayyan
- Hello!
- Rayyan!
- Why are you so arrogant?
Rayyan! Hey!
Ten lashes! Take him away.
Ten lashes!
Sir! Those are not the rules, sir.
Wait.
Someone decided to wag his tongue.
Please tell me. What are the rules?
Sir, if three verbal warnings
have no effect
then lashing can be prescribed
as a corrective measure.
But first, three verbal warnings.
That's what the book says, sir.
You read your rule book?
Makes me very happy, you know.
Good for you!
Let him go.
- Carry on, carry on!
- Come on, guys.
Let's play.
Bro
I'm sorry. I owe you one.
Ying Zhu has lots of electric problem.
The electricity goes out often.
God knows! But Hanshi Dao
always has electricity.
There is always light.
I need a house close to prison,
and I need a house which is cheap.
- So
- Long live revolution!
- What did he write?
- It's written "Geming Wansui"!
- Means?
- It means, long live revolution.
This house is so cheap
because someone who lived here before
took his own life.
It's okay.
I'm used to living in such houses.
I'll be fine.
I appealed and got your sentence delayed
by four months.
I'm meeting some top lawyers.
We will continue
to prolong the case for some time.
Don't worry, everything is under control.
What are you saying, Sis?
Nothing is under control.
I was talking to some inmates.
They were saying
you can keep delaying the execution,
but no one gets out of here alive.
Sis, do you know
what kind of people they are?
I'm on death row, yet they make me
clean the electric chair.
They say it's the quickest
and least painful method of execution.
Sis, they pardon no one.
O heart!
Every speck of it
Are they protesting?
- Custom.
- What?
Tradition.
Some seek blessings.
Some want to be pardoned.
Others offer hope
so no prisoner stops hoping.
Seems like your lawyers were useless, too.
They're leaving him to die,
while the authorities ask us
to light a lamp of hope.
There's no choice. How much can one drink
sitting alone at home?
- Shekhar Bhatia.
- Satya.
Come, it's our turn.
Who is inside?
My son. What about you?
My brother.
Join us for the counseling session.
Come, my dear
Okay. Satya, please come.
Maximum 30 minutes.
If nothing else,
enjoy the free tea and biscuits.
Hope doesn't mean manifesting
the best possible outcome,
but simply acknowledging
that hope itself is a living activity.
Tonight we'll be talking about Chi Ku.
Exploring the idea
that we can take on board our pain
and suffering without complaining.
Behind me
Will he complain if I punch him?
No one is forcing you to stay.
Leave if you want.
Don't ruin it for others.
I need to go to the washroom.
I need to use the washroom.
- I'll take her. It's okay.
- Okay.
The seven stages
Denial, shock, depression,
testing, anger, bargaining, and finally
acceptance.
I'll be checking in with all of you.
I can't do this.
It was very, very nice meeting you.
You have my number. I'm leaving.
- Stay a bit longer.
- I'm going--
- Just a while
- Sorry, is there a problem?
Keep your Chi Ku to yourself.
- I must go.
- Sorry, I don't understand.
I don't want to accept what you're saying.
Calm down.
Come on, Mr. Bhatia.
I'm running out of time.
My brother is about to be executed,
and he's talking about Chi Ku.
You say, "calm down". He says, "accept".
Accept? I'd rather bomb the jail
than accept.
Did you say something about a bomb?
Yeah, I did.
This whole program
is designed for moments just like this.
- There's this darkness
- Does this make sense?
- It's overwhelming you.
- Hey!
Wrap this shit up! We've got a match!
We better go.
- It's Saturday. You talk too much.
- Let's go.
Out!
No. We're not going through
this again, please.
Go! Get out!
Okay.
Go back to your druggies and murderers.
Leave!
They deserve to die already!
Hang, hang like that!
Go now.
Don't play the hero, just save your skin.
No, it's time to play the hero.
Don't you understand English?
Can I help you?
Leave!
Shall we go?
You won't like
what's going to happen next.
You should've left already
when I told you to.
Pretty girl!
He was in my face.
Get her!
I'm a tiger!
Stop! It's enough. Enough.
Why do you have a gun?
- No! It's empty! No bullets.
- Call the police.
No. No need of police! It's empty, safe.
Everything is under control.
No bullets.
Are you okay, Counselor?
You're a real thug.
I used to be one, but I've retired.
Had I met you 20 years ago,
I would've brought you into my gang.
- Get your gun.
- Oh, yes. Sir, my gun.
- You have a license?
- Of course! It's legal.
Thank you. So, we're meeting at the bar.
We will continue with the therapy.
Drinks and food on me, sir. Relax.
Everybody is invited! Come.
- Is everyone okay?
- You're too much!
Tony is the best.
He was in the wrong place
at the wrong time.
This is payback!
It's unfair.
Innocents always pay the price
for the crimes of others. It's nonsense!
My poor son has epilepsy.
How did your brother land in jail?
My brother?
He got taken for granted, Mr. Bhatia.
Use and throw.
How come?
What about your family? Your parents?
God took my mother's life.
And my father took his own life.
Some relatives took care of me
and my brother
but made us pay a hefty price.
Let it go, Mr. Bhatia.
It's a long story and my brother
has very little time left.
Very little time.
Let's blow up the damn prison!
It was you who mentioned a bomb.
So let's make a bomb
and set it off. Seriously.
So you're serious?
Okay.
Jailbreak?
Let's get the kids out.
These children can't die in there, Satya.
- Done.
- Done?
Done.
Done.
Done.
You have no idea
about the nonsense you talk.
And you do?
Yes.
Actually, I do, I bloody well do!
Tell me.
The jail you're talking about
I've had many men imprisoned there
when I was in the police force.
Oh, Mr. Muthu!
Buddy, don't arrest me.
I'm a retired gangster.
And I have a gun license.
I quit the force.
I'm no longer a cop, Bhatia.
Great! I'm retired, you're retired,
and we have a new job now.
Do you have a blueprint of the prison?
That jail is impenetrable.
So help us.
Right?
Will you let the person you love
die in there?
Go home and sleep, Bhatia.
Don't play the tiger.
You too, Satya.
What's his story?
Let's find out.
Haven't you heard
that too many cooks spoil the broth?
Sharpen your knives
I make a knife so sharp
It turns into a sword
Try it once! You won't regret it
Here, life is on a knife-edge
So sharpen your knives
Okay. So tell me.
Mr. Bhatia, you kept saying "done"
in the bar and raised your glass.
You did, too.
- Because I trusted your experience.
- I'm retired. I carry an empty gun.
Turn off your playlist, please!
We won't make it without an insider.
We can plan all we want,
but it will eventually lead to a dead end.
There's no time for a hit-and-miss plan.
We need to find out Muthu's full story.
Agree?
Absolutely.
My boys have informed me
that Muthu was born in India.
He came to Hanshi Dao
when he was a teenager.
He did his military service here
and got his citizenship.
Then he joined the police.
He had an Indian boy thrown into jail
and later discovered the boy was innocent.
He tried to save him,
but the kid got the death penalty.
Muthu quit his job so he could try
to get the kid released.
Well, he's a good guy.
Hello, Muthu.
No need to pay for the locker.
It's okay, I'll pay for it.
It's okay, no problem!
I'll take care of it. It's okay.
Okay, thank you.
Chandan, the appeal hearing is close.
I won't let anything wrong happen.
It's too late for that.
It's too late.
This appeal will also get rejected
and you will come to apologize again.
Right?
They cannot reject it, Chandan.
You'll be fine. I'm trying my best.
Trust me, Chandan. Please.
You shouldn't have quit the force, Muthu.
We all make mistakes. It's okay.
Hey, Muthu!
Chandan is not your son or brother.
Do you care if he lives or dies?
If you do care,
should you leave him to die?
I have appealed.
And I believe it will go through.
There is a system--
Like hell, Muthu!
I'll help them escape.
I'll help Tony, Ankur and Chandan.
Do whatever you want to do.
- Go.
- No, do what you have to do.
Muthu, listen to me. Listen.
Please help us.
Muthu, we can't make it without you.
They're going to die.
This is the only way.
This is not the only way, Satya.
Go to court. If your brother is innocent,
the law of my country will not fail you.
What law? What country?
People are fined if they laugh,
cry or breathe.
The fines are used to make
everything perfect on the outside.
If foreigners do anything wrong,
they're dead and buried.
Isn't this how it works?
Should I give you a list of things
happening in your country? Should I?
Don't lecture me about our system.
- Stop this nonsense, Satya.
- Or what?
- I'll report you to the authorities now.
- Okay then, I'll just kill you.
Want to fight?
I'm not a street thug,
I'm a trained officer, Satya.
I know karate.
I have a yellow belt. Ting! Ting!
Go ahead. I won't judge you if you hit me.
Go away.
Let's settle it.
If I win, you're in my team.
Stay down.
Oh, shit! Muthu?
Oh, shit! Muthu!
Oh, shit! Okay
Muthu!
Shit.
Muthu!
Don't feel bad
that you lost to a yellow belt.
They banned me from the competition,
otherwise I would be a black belt.
It wasn't their fault.
They play by the rules
I don't.
What do you say, Muthu?
Tough. Satya is tough!
I'm sorry.
Don't be.
I'm in.
Our escape route is in this kitchen.
We'll set it on fire, seal it from inside.
Response time has to be fast.
We start after dinner,
during cleaning time.
Only two police officers inside,
post dinner lethargy
- Best time to attack.
- We will carry knives.
- A cleaver.
- What?
A cleaver?
The cops will shoot the kids,
not bless them.
I mean, if you want to feel good,
I can tell you to feel good.
Okay, moving on. The boys are in control.
Hopefully our luck will turn around
at this point.
Yeah.
Not everyone knows where the old block
blends into the new block.
This information is gold.
Which way does it go?
It starts from here,
goes this way and comes out here.
Muthu, you're a genius!
Simple.
It's so simple that no one
has ever thought of it before. Great!
God is within us, yet we seek Him
elsewhere. So simple!
Hold on, there's a problem.
The kitchen sewer runs to Dragon Alley
and that's in the old block.
In the new block, a 21 feet
concrete slab will come in our way.
We have to build a tunnel
in order to get the boys out.
Satya,
this brings back childhood memories.
Studying for two hours before the exams,
and yet always passing.
Once they're in the old sewers,
they'll head to Dragon Alley,
then straight to the jetty.
The Johor Strait waters
are split into three
between Malaysia, Singapore,
and Hanshi Dao.
Once we've crossed the border,
we'll be in Malaysian waters
where the Hanshi Dao police cannot enter.
There's no extradition treaty either.
Once we escape the Hanshi Dao cops,
the Malaysian coast guard
will be after us.
- That means trouble.
- I have a friend in the Malaysian Navy.
We went to college together in Singapore.
But I cannot expect free favors,
and I will tell him the truth.
Wow! A friend you have to pay,
and be honest with?
- Muthu, you call him a friend?
- He's an honest officer.
I have to give him
a good reason to help us.
I'll explain the whole situation to him,
and tell him that we'll be posing
as doctors without borders.
Doctors without borders?
Okay, Google.
Search "Doctors Without Borders".
International medical
Aren't we relying too much
on your friend and this technicality?
Yes, but this is the only way.
Okay, I trust you.
- Pass me the map.
- Muthu, listen.
Can you simplify this?
We're not making a movie.
This is complicated.
- Let's recap again.
- Okay.
First, we must get the boys
assigned to kitchen duty.
Then Bhatia will explain
the plan to his son, Tony.
- Not too soon, not too late.
- Correct.
Do I look sad?
Not at all!
You're getting out!
Start the countdown.
Done!
Don't worry about me.
Take care of yourself.
Eat on time.
Eat on time?
What happened
to "stay hungry, stay foolish"?
You were never foolish, Sis.
You were never foolish.
You're hiding something.
Is anyone giving you a hard time?
Why have you made this hook?
An extra hook? May I ask?
Sir, this is for wet clothes.
It's just to keep them separate
from dry clothes.
But it's an extra hook. Extra!
You know the rules!
Any modification or modifications
made to your cell
beyond what has been ideally
and wisely provided by the State
for your rehabilitation
will be considered a violation.
And the punishment for this violation
is ten lashes and five salty lashes.
Rules are rules, my friend.
Bring him in!
In your case,
I've taken an executive decision.
I've taken the help of a volunteer
who will execute these lashes.
Each lash will be hit with the same power
and same intensity.
I will be the judge.
If the volunteer does not fulfill
his responsibility
to the best of his ability,
then the volunteer
will also be liable to punishment.
Same punishment.
Ten lashes and five salted lashes.
You understand, Mr. Rayyan?
Each lash should have
the same power, and same intensity.
Begin!
Good!
Five to go.
Give him the salted lash.
Good. Good, Mr. Rayyan.
Well done.
Take him back to his cell.
Stupid boy, bloody stupid!
Made any friends?
This is a jail, Sis, not a summer camp.
If I had greeted you back the other day
the matter would've ended there.
Would I care if you had got punished?
But no.
Ankur Anand was hell-bent
on explaining the rules to OIC Landa.
There's a saying
"You hit"
You hit the bull's eye. Bull's eye!
Ankur Anand.
You will not die in here.
You will go home.
You will live your life as a free man.
Free?
Jailbreak?
Is anyone looking out for you?
- Only my sister.
- Don't tell her about this.
I said to you that I owe you one.
You know the old unused toilet
in the medical ward?
The one everyone believes is haunted.
That's our way out.
Come here.
Chandan, Matthew and I
volunteer there a lot.
And Tony, being epileptic,
is often admitted there.
Whenever one of us is volunteering,
we start digging after lights out.
Come on, good goal.
I'll talk to the prison officer and get
you transferred to the infirmary, okay?
We started digging a tunnel two years ago.
It's almost ready.
Once we climb over the wall
we'll be in the main sewers.
Then it's the jetty, and off we fly!
You're getting out!
Start the countdown.
Done!
Don't worry about me.
Take care of yourself.
Eat on time.
Eat on time?
What happened
to "stay hungry, stay foolish"?
You were never foolish, Sis.
You were never foolish.
You're hiding something.
Is anyone giving you a hard time?
Who would dare to do that
when I have you for a sister?
One in a million.
Even if the stars disappear
Or the moon hides
Oh, you're all grown up now.
If the death sentence
wasn't hanging over you,
I would ask you to stay here longer!
Whether something happens or not
I'll keep you close
If a terrible storm encircles you
I'll keep you close
Even if the stars disappear
Or the moon hides
I'll keep you close
This is his last photograph taken by us.
This is tradition.
The same will happen with the four of you.
I must say, I was surprised.
Surprised that he never told you.
I thought you guys were very close.
You know he found out last week, right?
Just give them a minute.
Let them compose themselves,
then you take them back to their cells.
Carry on.
How could he leave without telling us?
He was worried about us.
He knew that if we found out
we would speed up our plan.
Fifteen days to go.
Start the countdown.
After 15 days, there's Zhongyuan,
the Hungry Ghost Festival.
We believe the doors of Hell
open wide on this day
and the dead souls roam freely
in our world.
Towards the end of the festival,
we say goodbye to everyone
and their leader, Tai Tse Wong,
Hell's policeman.
Does it attract big crowds?
Yes, and a lot of the force
will be off duty, too.
It's a local belief
that Hell's policeman will be watching.
So fewer crimes take place,
statistically speaking.
The Guardian of Hell!
Some of my boys
also wouldn't work on that day.
Both thieves and cops have the day off.
Do you believe in it?
What is clear, Satya,
is that it's the best time
to plan an escape.
Our wishes will surely be granted!
Sir.
Can I get your signature?
- New cooks?
- Yes, sir.
I hope they're good,
otherwise good luck to them.
Thank you, sir.
Listen up!
I'm assigning your duties.
Rayyan,
Nathan, William, infirmary duty.
John Woo, Wong Kar-wai, Kim Ki-duk,
Chandan, Tony, Ankur,
kitchen duty
What's wrong?
You guys are on kitchen duty.
What!
We were supposed
to volunteer at the infirmary.
Is this your father's doing?
Are you crazy? He isn't capable of this.
Move! Keep moving.
The Sicilian Mafia used the sheep code.
This is the Punjabi version of it.
I was often in and out of jail.
I would message Tony
the location of the drugs in code language
and he would pass on the information.
Everything depends on this, Bhatia.
Will Tony crack the code?
He won't panic, will he?
Don't go by his looks.
He is a gangster's son.
But can he explain it
to Ankur and Chandan on time?
Hundred percent!
He is a tiger.
Easy!
Go, Tiger!
This meeting is canceled.
- What?
- This meeting is canceled.
No, no, no!
No, no, no! I have to meet my son.
- This meeting is canceled.
- I have to
It's a mistake! See? My meeting
- What is this?
- My boy
- I have to
- What is the problem?
I have to meet my son.
- No visit today.
- I have to meet my son.
- No visit today!
- I have to meet my son!
He is in the medical ward.
- No!
- Medical ward?
- Why the medical ward?
- No.
- No, no, no! He is okay.
- Let me go.
- I have to meet my son.
- No, no, no! He is okay.
I have to meet my son.
Go, go
So what if you aren't working
in the medical ward?
Go there as a patient.
Mix these cleaning pods in your food.
They'll have an effect in an hour.
You might feel like you're dying,
but don't get scared.
This is the only way to get into the ward.
See you boys
once you've puked your guts out!
The whole sky in a single bird
The whole ocean in a single fish
Like a firefly burning in my night
Your words blend into mine
O heart!
Every speck of it
O heart!
Searching for you in every story
A star shining on my destiny
O heart!
Every speck of it
Okay. Thanks, man.
Food poisoning, vomiting and fever.
- Now they'll have to rest.
- We'll miss the Hungry Ghost Festival.
We've timed everything according to it.
What if there's a medical emergency?
Will they let me see Ankur
if I slash my wrists?
Satya, put that knife away.
No, I'm being practical.
Would they let me see Ankur
in a life and death situation?
I can at least explain
the plan to him that way.
Don't be crazy. Give me that knife.
Muthu, I'm not being dramatic. Okay?
Just tell me the rules.
Can an inmate meet a family member
in a life and death situation?
It's very simple.
Satya, this is a bad idea.
Please give me that knife. Please.
O heart
We'll miss the Hungry Ghost Festival!
Our plans are timed according to it,
Muthu.
Satya.
We have no option.
This plan is aborted.
- Smoke?
- No.
Come on!
- Come on.
- Okay, let's go.
Chandan, get in.
Why are the same three names
on two different lists?
Nobody is checking, is it?
Is everyone on holiday?
And the same three people
are sick in the medical ward?
Is no one checking?
I love you.
I know.
Thank you.
Keep moving.
Escaped prisoners! Holiday over.
Hey, Rayyan! Why didn't you tell us?
Never reveal all your cards!
Come on.
Hold this.
What's in the letter?
Satya?
What's wrong, Satya?
Are you okay? What's in the letter?
These are their last photographs
taken by us.
Run!
I would like to take this moment
to extend the State's
and my condolences for your loss.
I'm sorry, Chandan.
Who would send anyone a photo like this?
This is his last photo, Satya.
It's not his last photo.
Satya, it's over.
Nothing can be done now.
How do they get their electricity?
From generators.
The island has diesel generators.
If they stop working,
there will be no power on the island
or in the prison.
The jail is electronic.
The locks and the security system,
nothing works without power.
They have backup generators
because Ying Zhu's power supply
is unstable.
Their generators are refueled every day.
The backup is solid.
Let's shut down their backups
and then the main generator.
What are you saying?
If you succeed by any chance,
the jail will be wide open
and all the prisoners could escape.
Six thousand of them!
That will include Ankur,
Chandan, and Tony, right?
- Are you being serious?
- Yes.
There's a difference
between saving three innocent lives
and letting 6,000 convicts escape.
Forget the authorities,
I won't let this happen.
Muthu, Ankur cannot die.
I wish to save Chandan
under any circumstances.
I'm ready to die to save him,
but not like this.
I can't let 6,000 criminals escape, Satya.
This is very wrong.
You're right, Muthu.
I'm wrong.
I never claimed to be ethical.
What I am is Ankur's sister.
Don't be a part of it,
but don't come in my way.
Satya
Satya, let me tell you the story
of the scorpion and the frog.
Not that story again.
Satya, I don't have plans
but I do have stories.
- There was once a rat.
- Okay.
He fell into the water,
and he gasped for air for 15 minutes.
He was about to die when he found a stick.
- Wow!
- The rat held on to it
and could breathe.
He rested a while
and ate the leaves stuck on the stick.
Then the stick drifted away.
Guess how long the rat
managed to stay alive?
Ten minutes? 15 minutes? 20?
Guess again.
Half an hour, an hour?
Sixty hours!
That's amazing, Satya!
In round two,
the rat not only survived, but smashed it.
Totally smashed it!
Search it on Google.
"Hope experiment with rats."
I don't want Google wisdom.
Just tell me how to smash it.
My favourite method. Fire!
Fire? Petrol? We don't have
any money left, Satya.
Sell your jewellery!
I got the fire
I got the fire
I got the fire
Boys, I'm back!
Let's get back to work.
Fan the flames
There's a fire in me
Fan the flames
Burn betrayal with justice
The fire will win! There's a fire in me
Cross all lines! Set the world aflame
I got the fire
I got the fire
I got the fire
Fan the flames
There's a fire in me
Cross all lines! Set the world aflame
There's a difference
between theory and practice, Satya.
Are you all set?
People here love discipline,
and I love chaos.
Okay, picture this.
Six thousand prisoners,
and around 500 police officers
are battling each other. Tell me.
Who would bother about a rat?
I've been ready since the day
my dad jumped from the balcony.
I'm all set.
Set.
Let the flames engulf you
I'm a tiger and I'm running fast!
I'm breaking the chains
- Long live revolution!
- Long live revolution!
- Long live revolution!
- Long live revolution!
Long live the revolution!
I got the fire
I got the fire
I got the fire
There's a fire in me
There's a fire in me
There's a fire in me
There's a fire in me
- Help!
- Call an ambulance!
- Please..
- Help them
I got the fire
Tiger, the job is done.
I have to do what I have to do.
It's my duty, Satya.
Same.
- Hello.
- Hello, Robert?
Hello?
Muthu had called.
Enough!
My brother cannot die.
The flowers and the stars
Come together to say
My sister is one in a million
This bond, this love is eternal
The flowers and the stars
Come together to say
Only you listen to all my ramblings
Only you remove all my obstacles
I am the sum total of your wishes
You are the sum total of my dreams
- Satya!
- Pain
Painkiller! Water, bandage.
Water.
The flowers and the stars
Come together to say
My sister is one in a million
This bond, this love is eternal
The flowers and the stars
Come together to say
Only you listen to all my ramblings
Only you remove all my obstacles
It's time, Satya.
I am the sum total of your wishes
You are the sum total of my dreams
You are my moon! My bright night
My sister is one in a million
This bond, this love is eternal
Sleep eludes me! Peace escapes me
My sister is one in a million
This bond, this love is eternal
The flowers and the stars
Come together to say
The flowers and the stars
Come together to say
Late night work? You go home!
This is the door for your soul.
After you die,
your soul will pass through there
and go up to heaven
no matter what kind of a sinner you are.
Yes?
I'm on it!
Let my wife and children go now.
You
You tried to disrespect me
You tried to break my prison.
And today,
I will honor you with justice
in accordance to rules
and laws of my great nation.
I'm very tempted to kill you,
you know? Just shoot!
But in this room? I cannot.
Old traditions must be respected.
The generator is still working.
Let's crash it.
Wait for 30 seconds.
All the lights are on.
The generator is still working.
Just wait for 30 seconds.
We've got to crash it now.
Come on, push the trucks!
Push the trucks!
Let's go!
God bless you.
God bless you.
God bless you.
Mr. Bhatia.
Mr. Bhatia!
Bless you, dear.
Hey.
Come.
Sit!
Sit!
- Make it tight.
- Yes, sir.
Open your mouth.
Look! Do you see something there?
There are trucks
approaching from the hillock!
Landa is in the execution room.
His walkie-talkie is off.
Long live revolution!
Bad omen. Close the Soul Door.
Yes, Father. Let me at least
see what happened.
Alert! Prison breach
Alert! Prison breach!
Be careful. It's downhill.
Do you remember the blueprint?
Block B1 to the terrace,
then to the gallows.
The Soul Door must be open.
Get the boys and come to admin block.
I'll meet you there.
Three unmanned trucks crashed
into the backup generators.
The whole island
is experiencing a blackout.
We tried to reach you,
but it all happened very fast.
- Bad omen. Close the Soul Door!
- Of course I can see that, Father.
Close the Soul Door.
At least the soul won't escape.
Everyone is escaping anyway. Lock and key.
How many times should I say
that I don't trust machines?
Explosion in cell Block C.
- Take the priest to the bunker.
- Yes, sir.
Father, please forgive me for my sins.
I will make sure I respect the room
and I will not use the firearms.
But now, I'm going to smoke a cigarette,
and I'm going to kill these boys
after that.
Please pray for me, Father,
as I'm doing my last duty for my nation.
All blocks are compromised!
Riots have broken out in all blocks!
OIC Landa, please respond.
Riots have broken out in all blocks!
We need backup from the mainland.
OIC Landa, respond!
The situation is totally out of control.
Prisoners have escaped to the city.
OIC Landa, respond!
OIC Landa, please respond
Landa is carrying out his final execution.
Over and out till then.
No more rules left to be broken, boy!
Come.
What is she doing?
Who is she?
- Long live revolution!
- Long live revolution!
Long live revolution!
Mr. Bhatia, it's closed.
Let's go, Ankur!
Over here! Come on!
I have a gun!
Anku!
Anku!
No fire! No fire!
No fire! No fire!
Back, I said!
No fire!
As you were falling, you discovered
You could put out the flames
Like icy water
Yours is a story that goes back in time
Oh, the story
Having travelled the world
Bulleh Shah said
"The ones who risk their lives stay alive"
Jigra! O Jigra!
Do not lose courage
Jigra! O Jigra!
This is your turn
Why fear?
If you are punished
For every breath you take
Jigra! O Jigra!
Do not lose courage
Jigra!
I'm always by your side
Jigra!
Jigra!
Do not lose courage
If we do not grab our share of love
The poor world will call you weak
Jump onto the roof! Go!
Having travelled the world,
Bulleh Shah said
"Jump off the cliff and you will fly"
Jigra! O Jigra!
Do not lose courage
Jigra! O Jigra!
Be prepared for the fight
Challenge the enemy
Let no one take your turn
Jigra! O Jigra!
- Sis!
- Run!
- Run!
- Let's go, come!
- Did his sister do all this?
- Who knows!
Over here
Is this your sister's doing?
She is in a bad mood.
Don't ask now. Just run!
Go straight! Open the door.
- Open it.
- It won't open.
Come in, Mr. Bhatia.
Mr. Bhatia, come in!
Open it!
- Friendship is faith to me
- Move! Move!
Friendship is faith to me
My friend is my life
- Let's go.
- Papa?
Stop!
Sis!
Sis! Talk to me.
- Are you my dad's friend?
- Down!
- Let me greet my dad.
- Don't move.
- Sis!
- Yes?
What's going on?
Let's get home first.
I'll explain everything.
Mr. Bhatia, what a playlist!
Thank you.
Bachchan forever!
Everyone, stay still.
All under control, okay?
Don't move! Stay down.
Friendship has bathed us in divine light
Friendship has bathed us in divine light
Friendship is life itself
The police will chase us till the docks.
I'll distract them so you can get there.
- Mr. Bhatia--
- No time to argue, Satya.
Our backup car is close.
Can I do something?
Tony
Tony.
Tony, be careful. Come forward.
Papa.
Tony.
Son, I've lived my life.
Now you must enjoy a long life, too.
For my sake.
Papa, I'm not going anywhere without you.
Papa, I won't go.
Go! Just go.
- Go.
- Papa, no.
Ankur, handle Tony.
Fetch the bags and the water can
from under the seat.
Take good care of him.
We have to stop here.
Brake! Brake!
Move! Hurry.
I'll keep Tony safe.
I know.
Idiot! Leave him. Follow me.
- Let's go.
- Satya!
That was fun!
Thank you.
Get out of the car!
Get down or we'll shoot!
I'm a tiger!
Fall back!
I've got you. Come.
Come on! Hurry.
Mayday! Mayday!
We are doctors without borders.
Medics without frontiers.
Doctors without borders!
Do you copy?
Do you copy?
I think we've crossed
international borders.
My map is not reading. Are we in range?
Are we in range? Do you copy?
Boat 0819. Are we in range?
Shit!
- Get me closer!
- We're close to the border.
I don't care!
I want to look them in the eye
when I shoot them
Point blank.
This is my island.
Understand or not?
I lost my prison, my honor.
Now you will all die!
Anku
Listen.
Don't stress.
Mayday!
What's papa doing?
Come on!
Even if the stars disappear
Or the moon hides
I'll keep you close
Whether something happens or not
I'll keep you close
If a terrible storm encircles you
I'll keep you close
Even if the stars disappear
Or the moon hides
I'll keep you close
These are Malaysian waters.
Hanshi Dao police, retreat!
These are Malaysian waters.
Hanshi Dao police, retreat!
Sis!
Home.
Where has this path led me?
Where?
You'll follow me wherever I go
Where has this path led me?
You'll follow me wherever I go
This path
I will follow you
Why so weary now?
Come back
Come home now
The caged bird is now in flight
Come home now
Hands held, hearts mended
Come home
Come home now
Even if the stars disappear
Or the moon hides
I'll keep you close
Whether something happens or not
I'll keep you close
If a terrible storm encircles you
I'll keep you close
Even if the stars disappear
Or the moon hides
I'll keep you close
I'll keep you close
I'll keep you close
Even if the stars disappear
Or the moon hides
I'll keep you close
May Your promises always prevail!
May Your promises always prevail!
- It's magic, isn't it, Sis?
- You doubt it?
Ankur, listen. Don't stress.
Just tell me who did this.
I'll go easy on them.
Easy? You never go easy, Sis.
It's okay. It doesn't hurt too bad.
Just tell me who did it.
I'll make them pay
for every single scratch on you.
Manek Irani,
Mahesh Anand,
Ranjeet, Amrish, and Jeevan.
Ask them to meet us behind the tank
tomorrow during lunch time.
Leave the rest to me.
Sis, I'm hungry.
I'll make you a sandwich right away.
What's papa doing?
I'm sorry, Satya.
- Ankur, don't look!
- Papa
Satya.
- Satya--
- There's a bouquet less in the gallery.
The lamp oil under uncle's photo
is running out.
- Satya--
- I found this in Uncle Sonu's room.
Sorry, I'll flush it down the toilet.
What were you saying?
Kavita?
Single malt for me.
Yes, sir.
Everyone says, "Mr. Mehtani
is running an orphanage.
He offers distant relatives a home
and helps arrange
their weddings as well
whereas they are just using you."
But I don't believe that. I always say,
it's God's bidding and I'm only the means.
Right? Here's Satya!
- The ceremony can't be delayed.
- It won't be.
That's it! She's reassured us,
so there's nothing to worry.
She is my cousin brother's daughter
Satya
Satya, what are you doing?
Who told you?
Satya, I have to elope.
They won't accept Kavita.
Let me go.
Does uncle know?
She's with my child. We have to elope.
I want to marry Kavita,
not some rich girl.
Out of all people,
you should understand that.
Satya!
Satya
Your future in-laws have dozens
of police cases against them.
Listen. You two can run away today, okay?
But her father will find you,
and he will kill her
along with your child.
Can you live with that?
- Satya--
- Nakul.
Do you love her?
Then keep them alive.
- What's going on, dear? All set?
- Yes.
Why are you doing this?
When will you change?
There's a wedding in the house.
Yes.
Hey, it's your big day today.
Get ready!
- Yes.
- Come on!
There's a job waiting for you in London,
and a school for your kid.
Mr. Mehtani always looks after his staff.
Consider this your bonus.
My love is not for sale, Satya!
This money is not for you,
it's for your child.
Where's Nakul?
Nakul isn't coming.
You love Nakul like your own son.
You've organized
such a grand wedding for him
Stop whining!
Everything's solved. Go now!
- Come on, cheer up.
- He did this
It's time to celebrate.
What's going on? Come on.
Nakul's father-in-law insists
we don't miss the auspicious hour.
- Come on.
- So don't be late.
Satya, thank you very much.
You know how short-tempered
these people are.
And my work would also get stalled.
Kavita needs to be taken care of
till her London visa comes through--
I trust you. I'll cover all her expenses.
- Okay.
- Listen.
There's a wedding in the house,
and you're still in uniform? Go, change!
Right away.
Listen. Where's Ankur?
I don't see him around.
He ought to be there.
- Yes.
- We're family after all.
Yes, Uncle.
Have you seen Ankur?
I sent his dinner to his room.
Anku?
I just greeted them and left.
Her gaze is lowered
Are they full of longing?
Her gaze is lowered
Did your girlfriend dump you?
Eat up.
Stay hungry. Stay foolish.
You'll always stay foolish.
Listening to a sad ghazal at your age?
Sis, the Alpha release is ready.
Will uncle hear my pitch?
Of course.
He's calling from an Indian number.
Isn't he in Melbourne?
He just wanted to skip the wedding,
else he'd be here today.
Did he get expelled again?
Sis, I can't answer for him.
How am I responsible for that?
But, Sis
- There's a get-together at his friend's--
- No.
How long will you treat me like a kid?
Kabir is my best friend.
He is, and you know that.
Why don't you go
and tell him not to talk to me?
- Finish eating.
- Stay hungry!
Hey, Jigre!
Yes?
If you want to go, then win and show!
Let's go!
Game to 11. Winner's ball.
When did you play last? Can you remember?
Inside 2, outside 3.
No 3 pointers, Sis.
Why?
- Come on, put in some effort.
- Oh!
You start!
No check ball?
No warm-up?
Oh, I'm sorry.
You need a warm-up. I'll wait.
What are you doing?
Anku!
Bye.
So that's your game?
Okay!
Anku!
I'm not going anywhere. Happy?
Ankur, come on. I'm sorry.
Okay, hold on.
The game isn't over yet.
You can still win.
Anku!
The staff was saying
you don't want Kavita to be your boss
and that's why
you are chasing her out of India.
Who cares about what people say?
The ones who care
jump off their balconies.
Kavita will be fine in a few months.
I'm worried about Kabir.
Satya, no need to worry.
Kabir thinks of you two as family.
We are staff, Ratna,
and staff is always on duty.
Double A!
Rascal!
Hey! What are you doing?
- Get up.
- Come on, Kabir!
We're meeting after six months,
and this is how you react!
Give me a hug before giving the gifts.
Come here!
How are you, bro?
Come here! How are you?
- Fine. What about you?
- All good.
Listen, get ready quickly.
I've told my father
that you're giving him a presentation.
I've exaggerated it greatly.
Please live up to it!
- Okay.
- I'll see you downstairs.
Trust me, Dad.
There's nothing like it in the market.
He got rusticated again.
Be quiet!
- Mom, bless me.
- You're too much.
- Not the hair, Mom.
- Well
Did you do the entire coding
and interface, Ankur?
Yes. Yes, Uncle.
Impressive!
Just look at Ankur.
He studied in an Indian school,
yet he's so smart. Whereas you
He is my brother after all.
He's your true heir.
I'm adopted. I've always known it.
Shut up! You talk nonsense.
I know
Narayanan wants to invest in FinTech.
So I'll speak to him, it'll be done.
I knew you guys would work
wonders together.
So it's actually happening?
Yes, both of you!
You rascal, why don't you ever react?
Dude, get up! Come here. It's happening!
Sis, come here.
It's so big! It's happening.
I'm so happy!
Dad, it's happening, right?
It won't happen
unless you go and start packing.
You know what? Truer words
have not been said! Let's pack!
- Satya, book them a charter flight.
- Okay.
Uncle, thank you. Thank you so much.
- Hey, come on. Well done!
- Thank you.
Destination Hanshi Dao.
Text me when you take off and land.
Eat on time!
Just focus on your work.
Don't go anywhere unnecessarily.
Okay?
Am I allowed to breathe? To live a little?
Oh, God, Sis!
Don't worry. I'm with him. Let's go.
- Hey, stop!
- What happened?
- Mom, please.
- Of course, she must bless you.
See you. Come on.
Stop crying!
- They'll be all right.
- Yes.
How quickly they've grown.
Now they're off on a business trip.
I wanna love you
I wanna uhh you
Good luck follows me wherever I go
I wanna tell you something in Telugu
You smell better than Biryani
'Cos I'm a Pan India Area King
Pan India Area King

Sweet Juliet, hip Majnu
I'm richer than the richest

We'll add milk and make Payasam to relish

I regret to inform you

- Oh, no! Kabir, slow down.
- Let me think.
- Just let me think.
- Hold on.
- We should've hired a taxi.
- I'll handle it.
What's the penalty for drunk driving?
- Hope we don't get thrown into jail.
- Hold on.
It'll be fine.
I'm sorry, sir. Is there any problem?
Sir, we were just headed to the hotel.
- There's nothing in the car, sir
- Get out!
- Get out!
- Sir, we were just
Sir
Sir, that's my passport. I'm from India.
We're just going to the hotel.
That's all, sir.
- Please, I need to talk to my dad--
- Get inside!
Ankur, don't say a word.
Come on.
Mr. Mehtani, I understand
what you're saying
but Hanshi Dao shows no mercy
to drug offenders. It's death.
- I can try to save one of them.
- Yes.
Yes, I know.
Do your best.
What is it?
I can't get through to Kabir.
There should be a way. Just find out.
Talk to Narayanan.
Hello?
Yes?
- Yes. Satyabhama Anand.
- I'll talk to you later.
Yes, please.
Sis?
Ankur, did you screw up?
Did you do drugs?
- No, I didn't.
- Okay.
Did anyone use your phone?
Did Kabir use it? No?
Are you sure your blood sample is clean?
Don't worry, you'll be okay
Blood sample?
Ankur, how is Kabir?
Why can't I talk to him?
What have you guys done?
You were supposed to look after him.
How could you let this happen?
Give it to me. Stop this drama!
- Hello?
- Uncle, I have no idea what's happening.
- I warned Kabir.
- Relax. You'll be fine.
I'll fix it, Ankur.
Lawyer Jaswant is on his way.
He'll take care of everything.
Just do as he says, okay?
- You want to go home?
- Of course!
Then do precisely as I say.
Follow my instructions and say
exactly what I'm telling you to say.
Two officers will come in once I leave.
You're going to tell them
those drugs don't belong to you
but to Ankur.
That he panicked
and stuffed them in your pocket.
- What?
- That's what you're going to tell them.
Exactly these words.
Ankur knows absolutely nothing about this.
It's all my fault.
He doesn't know anything about it.
We have no other option, dear.
Uncle, I don't know what you think,
but he's like my brother.
I can't do that to him.
It's okay, come.
They show no mercy to drug offenders
in this country. It's death.
I can't die here! Get me out, please.
Just help me. Get me out of here.
I don't want to stay here. Please.
Hello.
How are you?
Recognize me? I'm Jaswant.
Mr. Mehtani must've told you about me.
I'm also family.
The things you kids do!
We have a little problem.
You know that Kabir
has two drug related cases in India.
A third case is very bad for him.
He could face the death penalty.
So don't worry.
When the cops come here,
tell them that the drugs
don't belong to Kabir, but to you.
Sir, what are you saying?
See, we'll prove
that there was less than one gram.
You'll be back home in a few months.
And the Mehtani family
will be there for you.
Sir, what about my career?
What happens to my career
if I'm convicted?
We're talking about Kabir's life,
and you're worried about your career?
Sir.
This is the only option
if Kabir has to live.
Sir, I want talk to Kabir.
- Impossible.
- Sir, I must talk to Kabir.
It's impossible, I'm telling you.
Okay?
I know that he
and the whole Mehtani family
are depending on you.
Your career is absolutely safe
with the Mehtani family.
You are a part of them.
That's why I'm here.
Your brother needs your help, dear.
For official records,
you just need to say, "Yes, I agree".
Admit you're a drug trafficker.
Hey! Look at me!
Admit you're a drug trafficker
and you got these drugs
to sell in the market.
Okay? Now you can say 'yes' or 'no'.
Yes.
Yes, I agree.
Where is Kabir?
Kabir is fine
but I'm sorry about Ankur.
There was no other way.
Okay.
The State Vs. Ankur Anand.
Do you agree to this confession?
This confession in front of me,
do you agree saying 'yes' to it,
Mr. Anand?
Yes.
Death by electrocution in three months.
Death by electrocution in three months.
What did he say!
This has to be a mistake! It's not me!
It's a mistake!
Mr. Mehtani has sent you
some local currency.
Is this charity?
I'll have many expenses there.
I can't keep asking him.
Ask him to transfer Rs. 2 crore and
arrange a charter flight to Hanshi Dao.
- What?
- You heard me.
- Sis, I'm really sorry.
- Kabir.
I didn't mean for it to happen.
I'm really sorry.
Kabir, let's go. Go, sit in the car.
I'm really sorry. We tried everything.
Yeah?
A fire has broken out
in Mr. Mehtani's office!
What?
A fire?
What's papa doing?
Ankur, don't look!
I'm sorry, Satya.
Just tell me who did it.
I'll make them pay
for every single scratch on you.
Could I get you something?
Everything.
May I get you the menu?
Give me everything.
Jiang Ge prison
is situated on Ying Zhu island.
Ying Zhu island has been
a part of Hanshi Dao since 2014.
Our jail is fully automated.
We were the first in Hanshi Dao
to be part of the digital universe.
Prisoners wear color coded t-shirts
according to their crime.
Agitators of separatist movements
are held in different cells.
Long live the revolution, Geming Wansui,
Hanshi Dao Down Down!
These slogans are banned.
Prison rules and guidelines.
This is the only holy book
you need to think about.
The rules of conduct
that will apply to you
will also apply to me and my officers.
You must understand.
You and I, we are in the same boat.
We have been at the forefront
for technology and innovation.
But at the core of it
- Sir, could you please change your gloves?
- Come here.
Sir, could you please change
your gloves first?
You haven't changed your gloves, sir.
- Sir!
- Hey!
- Hey!
- Yes, sir?
- Go, wait in my office. Now.
- Okay.
- Sir, he didn't change his gloves.
- You keep quiet!
Send in another officer.
Sir, are you Indian?
- Stay behind!
- Sir, are you Indian?
Stay behind!
- Sir, do you understand Hindi?
- Stand behind!
- Sir, I'm innocent. I was framed.
- Stand behind!
- I'm innocent. I was forced to confess.
- He is not even listening to me.
They said I'd get three months,
not the death sentence.
Sir, I'm innocent. I'm an engineer.
Why would I do all this?
If my great-grandfather was alive,
then maybe he could understand
what you're saying.
I do not, because I am not Indian.
You understand or not?
Yes, sir. My name is Ankur Anand.
Sir, I'm an orphan. I only have my sister.
Sir, I didn't do anything wrong
Boy, you must learn to listen.
You understand or not?
I listened to you just now, right?
Now you must listen! Stand straight.
Put your hands down. Stand straight.
Put your hands apart.
Yes, lift up your tongue. Up. Down. Good.
It's okay.
Clear!
Bend over. Spread your legs.
Cough!
Cough!
Clear!
Okay, clean. Up! Come here.
Make sure you put on fresh gloves.
Come.
You are purple shirt?
You don't have a lot of time, you know.
Read this, cover to cover. Understand?
Turn to your right. Carry on.
Next! Come forward.
They call this a city.
That's what they say.
But the law of the jungle rules here.
The jungle.
The lizard eats the ant.
The frog eats the lizard.
The snake swallows the frog.
The mongoose gulps down the snake.
The wolf sucks the blood of the mongoose.
The tiger devours the wolf.
Here, the strong survive
by killing the weak. Get it? They kill.
Body check.
Stop! Store your luggage in the locker.
M-My brother
Store your luggage in the locker.
Sorry, the locker
Keep the bags.
- Phone.
- Phone also.
- Here.
- 50 Shin.
- Here.
- Token.
Thank you.
Do not run! Stop. Go over here.
Where to go?
Where to go?
Visiting my brother.
There?
Excuse me.
Yes?
- Am I late?
- Hold on!
- Am I late, sir?
- Hold on. I'm giving you a pass.
My brother Ankur Anand
is my brother's name.
Okay.
Where to go?
Calm down.
- You're not late.
- Okay.
Please sit. I'll call. Please sit.
Satyabhama?
This is the only face-to-face visit
you have.
After this, make application
for tele-visit. You follow?
- How do I look?
- What?
Do I look sad?
Oh, yeah. Little sad.
Now?
Very sad.
That way.
Even if the stars disappear
Or the moon hides
I'll keep you close
Whether something happens or not
I'll keep you close
If a terrible storm encircles you
I'll keep you close
Even if the stars disappear
Or the moon hides
I'll keep you close
Where has this path led me?
You'll follow me wherever I go

If the sea dries up and the sky falls
I'll keep you close
Ankur.
They tell me
I have only three months to live.
Listen to me.
Ankur.
Look! Look at me!
You are my brother, aren't you?
So I'll always protect you.
I will not let any harm come to you.
Ever.
Where has this path led me?
You'll follow me wherever I go
Where has this path led me?
You'll follow me wherever I am

All new inmates of Cell Block B4.
This is OIC Landa. Welcome.
You all have been given
access to counseling
to help you adjust mentally
to your new conditions
which in turn will be good
for your rehabilitation.
But before that
all of you in purple t-shirts on death row
especially those amongst you
on drug charges,
let me make some things clear.
Listen to this, gentlemen,
and listen very carefully,
for it will help ease your pain,
clear your confusion
and it'll put your hope to rest.
Your fathers, your mothers,
your brothers, uncles, sisters
Got friends? Got cousins?
All of them outside
will be trying to delay the inevitable
your death.
But it's a waste of time.
It's a waste of time.
When it comes to immigrants here,
they make examples out of them.
Coco! Why didn't you fill the generator
with diesel?
What am I paying you for?
To dry your nails?
- Sir, Satya.
- Yes?
Ankur Anand, my brother.
We had an appointment today at 4 p.m.
- Right, right. Ankur. Narcotics, yes?
- Yes.
You see, his sentence
is such that time is ticking for him.
The clock hands are moving.
I can slow them down a bit.
That is all I can do.
Sir, I I want to take him home.
This isn't like an Indian jail.
It's clean, the food is good.
Recreation is good.
You think he chose to be in jail?
If it was someone you loved,
would you say,
"Eat, drink and be merry?"
In this case? That's what I'd say.
I would immediately appeal
then try and get the sentence delayed
for a few months.
Our NGOs are here to help Indians
but please don't distribute your posters.
The government will object.
Especially since it's a case of narcotics.
Then we won't be able to help at all.
The presidential pardon
is only possible in two instances.
If the convict is underage,
or mentally unstable.
Hey! Pass the ball!
Brother, pass the ball!
Is he deaf?
- Rayyan.
- Rayyan! Let's go.
- Crazy guy!
- Ready to lose again?
- Hey!
- I've seen your face before.
New boy!
Hello.
Didn't I greet you sweetly?
Sure you did, Rayyan.
I even smiled.
- No, you didn't.
- What's his problem?
Rayyan!
Hello!
Why don't you greet me back?
- Rayyan
- Hello!
- Rayyan!
- Why are you so arrogant?
Rayyan! Hey!
Ten lashes! Take him away.
Ten lashes!
Sir! Those are not the rules, sir.
Wait.
Someone decided to wag his tongue.
Please tell me. What are the rules?
Sir, if three verbal warnings
have no effect
then lashing can be prescribed
as a corrective measure.
But first, three verbal warnings.
That's what the book says, sir.
You read your rule book?
Makes me very happy, you know.
Good for you!
Let him go.
- Carry on, carry on!
- Come on, guys.
Let's play.
Bro
I'm sorry. I owe you one.
Ying Zhu has lots of electric problem.
The electricity goes out often.
God knows! But Hanshi Dao
always has electricity.
There is always light.
I need a house close to prison,
and I need a house which is cheap.
- So
- Long live revolution!
- What did he write?
- It's written "Geming Wansui"!
- Means?
- It means, long live revolution.
This house is so cheap
because someone who lived here before
took his own life.
It's okay.
I'm used to living in such houses.
I'll be fine.
I appealed and got your sentence delayed
by four months.
I'm meeting some top lawyers.
We will continue
to prolong the case for some time.
Don't worry, everything is under control.
What are you saying, Sis?
Nothing is under control.
I was talking to some inmates.
They were saying
you can keep delaying the execution,
but no one gets out of here alive.
Sis, do you know
what kind of people they are?
I'm on death row, yet they make me
clean the electric chair.
They say it's the quickest
and least painful method of execution.
Sis, they pardon no one.
O heart!
Every speck of it
Are they protesting?
- Custom.
- What?
Tradition.
Some seek blessings.
Some want to be pardoned.
Others offer hope
so no prisoner stops hoping.
Seems like your lawyers were useless, too.
They're leaving him to die,
while the authorities ask us
to light a lamp of hope.
There's no choice. How much can one drink
sitting alone at home?
- Shekhar Bhatia.
- Satya.
Come, it's our turn.
Who is inside?
My son. What about you?
My brother.
Join us for the counseling session.
Come, my dear
Okay. Satya, please come.
Maximum 30 minutes.
If nothing else,
enjoy the free tea and biscuits.
Hope doesn't mean manifesting
the best possible outcome,
but simply acknowledging
that hope itself is a living activity.
Tonight we'll be talking about Chi Ku.
Exploring the idea
that we can take on board our pain
and suffering without complaining.
Behind me
Will he complain if I punch him?
No one is forcing you to stay.
Leave if you want.
Don't ruin it for others.
I need to go to the washroom.
I need to use the washroom.
- I'll take her. It's okay.
- Okay.
The seven stages
Denial, shock, depression,
testing, anger, bargaining, and finally
acceptance.
I'll be checking in with all of you.
I can't do this.
It was very, very nice meeting you.
You have my number. I'm leaving.
- Stay a bit longer.
- I'm going--
- Just a while
- Sorry, is there a problem?
Keep your Chi Ku to yourself.
- I must go.
- Sorry, I don't understand.
I don't want to accept what you're saying.
Calm down.
Come on, Mr. Bhatia.
I'm running out of time.
My brother is about to be executed,
and he's talking about Chi Ku.
You say, "calm down". He says, "accept".
Accept? I'd rather bomb the jail
than accept.
Did you say something about a bomb?
Yeah, I did.
This whole program
is designed for moments just like this.
- There's this darkness
- Does this make sense?
- It's overwhelming you.
- Hey!
Wrap this shit up! We've got a match!
We better go.
- It's Saturday. You talk too much.
- Let's go.
Out!
No. We're not going through
this again, please.
Go! Get out!
Okay.
Go back to your druggies and murderers.
Leave!
They deserve to die already!
Hang, hang like that!
Go now.
Don't play the hero, just save your skin.
No, it's time to play the hero.
Don't you understand English?
Can I help you?
Leave!
Shall we go?
You won't like
what's going to happen next.
You should've left already
when I told you to.
Pretty girl!
He was in my face.
Get her!
I'm a tiger!
Stop! It's enough. Enough.
Why do you have a gun?
- No! It's empty! No bullets.
- Call the police.
No. No need of police! It's empty, safe.
Everything is under control.
No bullets.
Are you okay, Counselor?
You're a real thug.
I used to be one, but I've retired.
Had I met you 20 years ago,
I would've brought you into my gang.
- Get your gun.
- Oh, yes. Sir, my gun.
- You have a license?
- Of course! It's legal.
Thank you. So, we're meeting at the bar.
We will continue with the therapy.
Drinks and food on me, sir. Relax.
Everybody is invited! Come.
- Is everyone okay?
- You're too much!
Tony is the best.
He was in the wrong place
at the wrong time.
This is payback!
It's unfair.
Innocents always pay the price
for the crimes of others. It's nonsense!
My poor son has epilepsy.
How did your brother land in jail?
My brother?
He got taken for granted, Mr. Bhatia.
Use and throw.
How come?
What about your family? Your parents?
God took my mother's life.
And my father took his own life.
Some relatives took care of me
and my brother
but made us pay a hefty price.
Let it go, Mr. Bhatia.
It's a long story and my brother
has very little time left.
Very little time.
Let's blow up the damn prison!
It was you who mentioned a bomb.
So let's make a bomb
and set it off. Seriously.
So you're serious?
Okay.
Jailbreak?
Let's get the kids out.
These children can't die in there, Satya.
- Done.
- Done?
Done.
Done.
Done.
You have no idea
about the nonsense you talk.
And you do?
Yes.
Actually, I do, I bloody well do!
Tell me.
The jail you're talking about
I've had many men imprisoned there
when I was in the police force.
Oh, Mr. Muthu!
Buddy, don't arrest me.
I'm a retired gangster.
And I have a gun license.
I quit the force.
I'm no longer a cop, Bhatia.
Great! I'm retired, you're retired,
and we have a new job now.
Do you have a blueprint of the prison?
That jail is impenetrable.
So help us.
Right?
Will you let the person you love
die in there?
Go home and sleep, Bhatia.
Don't play the tiger.
You too, Satya.
What's his story?
Let's find out.
Haven't you heard
that too many cooks spoil the broth?
Sharpen your knives
I make a knife so sharp
It turns into a sword
Try it once! You won't regret it
Here, life is on a knife-edge
So sharpen your knives
Okay. So tell me.
Mr. Bhatia, you kept saying "done"
in the bar and raised your glass.
You did, too.
- Because I trusted your experience.
- I'm retired. I carry an empty gun.
Turn off your playlist, please!
We won't make it without an insider.
We can plan all we want,
but it will eventually lead to a dead end.
There's no time for a hit-and-miss plan.
We need to find out Muthu's full story.
Agree?
Absolutely.
My boys have informed me
that Muthu was born in India.
He came to Hanshi Dao
when he was a teenager.
He did his military service here
and got his citizenship.
Then he joined the police.
He had an Indian boy thrown into jail
and later discovered the boy was innocent.
He tried to save him,
but the kid got the death penalty.
Muthu quit his job so he could try
to get the kid released.
Well, he's a good guy.
Hello, Muthu.
No need to pay for the locker.
It's okay, I'll pay for it.
It's okay, no problem!
I'll take care of it. It's okay.
Okay, thank you.
Chandan, the appeal hearing is close.
I won't let anything wrong happen.
It's too late for that.
It's too late.
This appeal will also get rejected
and you will come to apologize again.
Right?
They cannot reject it, Chandan.
You'll be fine. I'm trying my best.
Trust me, Chandan. Please.
You shouldn't have quit the force, Muthu.
We all make mistakes. It's okay.
Hey, Muthu!
Chandan is not your son or brother.
Do you care if he lives or dies?
If you do care,
should you leave him to die?
I have appealed.
And I believe it will go through.
There is a system--
Like hell, Muthu!
I'll help them escape.
I'll help Tony, Ankur and Chandan.
Do whatever you want to do.
- Go.
- No, do what you have to do.
Muthu, listen to me. Listen.
Please help us.
Muthu, we can't make it without you.
They're going to die.
This is the only way.
This is not the only way, Satya.
Go to court. If your brother is innocent,
the law of my country will not fail you.
What law? What country?
People are fined if they laugh,
cry or breathe.
The fines are used to make
everything perfect on the outside.
If foreigners do anything wrong,
they're dead and buried.
Isn't this how it works?
Should I give you a list of things
happening in your country? Should I?
Don't lecture me about our system.
- Stop this nonsense, Satya.
- Or what?
- I'll report you to the authorities now.
- Okay then, I'll just kill you.
Want to fight?
I'm not a street thug,
I'm a trained officer, Satya.
I know karate.
I have a yellow belt. Ting! Ting!
Go ahead. I won't judge you if you hit me.
Go away.
Let's settle it.
If I win, you're in my team.
Stay down.
Oh, shit! Muthu?
Oh, shit! Muthu!
Oh, shit! Okay
Muthu!
Shit.
Muthu!
Don't feel bad
that you lost to a yellow belt.
They banned me from the competition,
otherwise I would be a black belt.
It wasn't their fault.
They play by the rules
I don't.
What do you say, Muthu?
Tough. Satya is tough!
I'm sorry.
Don't be.
I'm in.
Our escape route is in this kitchen.
We'll set it on fire, seal it from inside.
Response time has to be fast.
We start after dinner,
during cleaning time.
Only two police officers inside,
post dinner lethargy
- Best time to attack.
- We will carry knives.
- A cleaver.
- What?
A cleaver?
The cops will shoot the kids,
not bless them.
I mean, if you want to feel good,
I can tell you to feel good.
Okay, moving on. The boys are in control.
Hopefully our luck will turn around
at this point.
Yeah.
Not everyone knows where the old block
blends into the new block.
This information is gold.
Which way does it go?
It starts from here,
goes this way and comes out here.
Muthu, you're a genius!
Simple.
It's so simple that no one
has ever thought of it before. Great!
God is within us, yet we seek Him
elsewhere. So simple!
Hold on, there's a problem.
The kitchen sewer runs to Dragon Alley
and that's in the old block.
In the new block, a 21 feet
concrete slab will come in our way.
We have to build a tunnel
in order to get the boys out.
Satya,
this brings back childhood memories.
Studying for two hours before the exams,
and yet always passing.
Once they're in the old sewers,
they'll head to Dragon Alley,
then straight to the jetty.
The Johor Strait waters
are split into three
between Malaysia, Singapore,
and Hanshi Dao.
Once we've crossed the border,
we'll be in Malaysian waters
where the Hanshi Dao police cannot enter.
There's no extradition treaty either.
Once we escape the Hanshi Dao cops,
the Malaysian coast guard
will be after us.
- That means trouble.
- I have a friend in the Malaysian Navy.
We went to college together in Singapore.
But I cannot expect free favors,
and I will tell him the truth.
Wow! A friend you have to pay,
and be honest with?
- Muthu, you call him a friend?
- He's an honest officer.
I have to give him
a good reason to help us.
I'll explain the whole situation to him,
and tell him that we'll be posing
as doctors without borders.
Doctors without borders?
Okay, Google.
Search "Doctors Without Borders".
International medical
Aren't we relying too much
on your friend and this technicality?
Yes, but this is the only way.
Okay, I trust you.
- Pass me the map.
- Muthu, listen.
Can you simplify this?
We're not making a movie.
This is complicated.
- Let's recap again.
- Okay.
First, we must get the boys
assigned to kitchen duty.
Then Bhatia will explain
the plan to his son, Tony.
- Not too soon, not too late.
- Correct.
Do I look sad?
Not at all!
You're getting out!
Start the countdown.
Done!
Don't worry about me.
Take care of yourself.
Eat on time.
Eat on time?
What happened
to "stay hungry, stay foolish"?
You were never foolish, Sis.
You were never foolish.
You're hiding something.
Is anyone giving you a hard time?
Why have you made this hook?
An extra hook? May I ask?
Sir, this is for wet clothes.
It's just to keep them separate
from dry clothes.
But it's an extra hook. Extra!
You know the rules!
Any modification or modifications
made to your cell
beyond what has been ideally
and wisely provided by the State
for your rehabilitation
will be considered a violation.
And the punishment for this violation
is ten lashes and five salty lashes.
Rules are rules, my friend.
Bring him in!
In your case,
I've taken an executive decision.
I've taken the help of a volunteer
who will execute these lashes.
Each lash will be hit with the same power
and same intensity.
I will be the judge.
If the volunteer does not fulfill
his responsibility
to the best of his ability,
then the volunteer
will also be liable to punishment.
Same punishment.
Ten lashes and five salted lashes.
You understand, Mr. Rayyan?
Each lash should have
the same power, and same intensity.
Begin!
Good!
Five to go.
Give him the salted lash.
Good. Good, Mr. Rayyan.
Well done.
Take him back to his cell.
Stupid boy, bloody stupid!
Made any friends?
This is a jail, Sis, not a summer camp.
If I had greeted you back the other day
the matter would've ended there.
Would I care if you had got punished?
But no.
Ankur Anand was hell-bent
on explaining the rules to OIC Landa.
There's a saying
"You hit"
You hit the bull's eye. Bull's eye!
Ankur Anand.
You will not die in here.
You will go home.
You will live your life as a free man.
Free?
Jailbreak?
Is anyone looking out for you?
- Only my sister.
- Don't tell her about this.
I said to you that I owe you one.
You know the old unused toilet
in the medical ward?
The one everyone believes is haunted.
That's our way out.
Come here.
Chandan, Matthew and I
volunteer there a lot.
And Tony, being epileptic,
is often admitted there.
Whenever one of us is volunteering,
we start digging after lights out.
Come on, good goal.
I'll talk to the prison officer and get
you transferred to the infirmary, okay?
We started digging a tunnel two years ago.
It's almost ready.
Once we climb over the wall
we'll be in the main sewers.
Then it's the jetty, and off we fly!
You're getting out!
Start the countdown.
Done!
Don't worry about me.
Take care of yourself.
Eat on time.
Eat on time?
What happened
to "stay hungry, stay foolish"?
You were never foolish, Sis.
You were never foolish.
You're hiding something.
Is anyone giving you a hard time?
Who would dare to do that
when I have you for a sister?
One in a million.
Even if the stars disappear
Or the moon hides
Oh, you're all grown up now.
If the death sentence
wasn't hanging over you,
I would ask you to stay here longer!
Whether something happens or not
I'll keep you close
If a terrible storm encircles you
I'll keep you close
Even if the stars disappear
Or the moon hides
I'll keep you close
This is his last photograph taken by us.
This is tradition.
The same will happen with the four of you.
I must say, I was surprised.
Surprised that he never told you.
I thought you guys were very close.
You know he found out last week, right?
Just give them a minute.
Let them compose themselves,
then you take them back to their cells.
Carry on.
How could he leave without telling us?
He was worried about us.
He knew that if we found out
we would speed up our plan.
Fifteen days to go.
Start the countdown.
After 15 days, there's Zhongyuan,
the Hungry Ghost Festival.
We believe the doors of Hell
open wide on this day
and the dead souls roam freely
in our world.
Towards the end of the festival,
we say goodbye to everyone
and their leader, Tai Tse Wong,
Hell's policeman.
Does it attract big crowds?
Yes, and a lot of the force
will be off duty, too.
It's a local belief
that Hell's policeman will be watching.
So fewer crimes take place,
statistically speaking.
The Guardian of Hell!
Some of my boys
also wouldn't work on that day.
Both thieves and cops have the day off.
Do you believe in it?
What is clear, Satya,
is that it's the best time
to plan an escape.
Our wishes will surely be granted!
Sir.
Can I get your signature?
- New cooks?
- Yes, sir.
I hope they're good,
otherwise good luck to them.
Thank you, sir.
Listen up!
I'm assigning your duties.
Rayyan,
Nathan, William, infirmary duty.
John Woo, Wong Kar-wai, Kim Ki-duk,
Chandan, Tony, Ankur,
kitchen duty
What's wrong?
You guys are on kitchen duty.
What!
We were supposed
to volunteer at the infirmary.
Is this your father's doing?
Are you crazy? He isn't capable of this.
Move! Keep moving.
The Sicilian Mafia used the sheep code.
This is the Punjabi version of it.
I was often in and out of jail.
I would message Tony
the location of the drugs in code language
and he would pass on the information.
Everything depends on this, Bhatia.
Will Tony crack the code?
He won't panic, will he?
Don't go by his looks.
He is a gangster's son.
But can he explain it
to Ankur and Chandan on time?
Hundred percent!
He is a tiger.
Easy!
Go, Tiger!
This meeting is canceled.
- What?
- This meeting is canceled.
No, no, no!
No, no, no! I have to meet my son.
- This meeting is canceled.
- I have to
It's a mistake! See? My meeting
- What is this?
- My boy
- I have to
- What is the problem?
I have to meet my son.
- No visit today.
- I have to meet my son.
- No visit today!
- I have to meet my son!
He is in the medical ward.
- No!
- Medical ward?
- Why the medical ward?
- No.
- No, no, no! He is okay.
- Let me go.
- I have to meet my son.
- No, no, no! He is okay.
I have to meet my son.
Go, go
So what if you aren't working
in the medical ward?
Go there as a patient.
Mix these cleaning pods in your food.
They'll have an effect in an hour.
You might feel like you're dying,
but don't get scared.
This is the only way to get into the ward.
See you boys
once you've puked your guts out!
The whole sky in a single bird
The whole ocean in a single fish
Like a firefly burning in my night
Your words blend into mine
O heart!
Every speck of it
O heart!
Searching for you in every story
A star shining on my destiny
O heart!
Every speck of it
Okay. Thanks, man.
Food poisoning, vomiting and fever.
- Now they'll have to rest.
- We'll miss the Hungry Ghost Festival.
We've timed everything according to it.
What if there's a medical emergency?
Will they let me see Ankur
if I slash my wrists?
Satya, put that knife away.
No, I'm being practical.
Would they let me see Ankur
in a life and death situation?
I can at least explain
the plan to him that way.
Don't be crazy. Give me that knife.
Muthu, I'm not being dramatic. Okay?
Just tell me the rules.
Can an inmate meet a family member
in a life and death situation?
It's very simple.
Satya, this is a bad idea.
Please give me that knife. Please.
O heart
We'll miss the Hungry Ghost Festival!
Our plans are timed according to it,
Muthu.
Satya.
We have no option.
This plan is aborted.
- Smoke?
- No.
Come on!
- Come on.
- Okay, let's go.
Chandan, get in.
Why are the same three names
on two different lists?
Nobody is checking, is it?
Is everyone on holiday?
And the same three people
are sick in the medical ward?
Is no one checking?
I love you.
I know.
Thank you.
Keep moving.
Escaped prisoners! Holiday over.
Hey, Rayyan! Why didn't you tell us?
Never reveal all your cards!
Come on.
Hold this.
What's in the letter?
Satya?
What's wrong, Satya?
Are you okay? What's in the letter?
These are their last photographs
taken by us.
Run!
I would like to take this moment
to extend the State's
and my condolences for your loss.
I'm sorry, Chandan.
Who would send anyone a photo like this?
This is his last photo, Satya.
It's not his last photo.
Satya, it's over.
Nothing can be done now.
How do they get their electricity?
From generators.
The island has diesel generators.
If they stop working,
there will be no power on the island
or in the prison.
The jail is electronic.
The locks and the security system,
nothing works without power.
They have backup generators
because Ying Zhu's power supply
is unstable.
Their generators are refueled every day.
The backup is solid.
Let's shut down their backups
and then the main generator.
What are you saying?
If you succeed by any chance,
the jail will be wide open
and all the prisoners could escape.
Six thousand of them!
That will include Ankur,
Chandan, and Tony, right?
- Are you being serious?
- Yes.
There's a difference
between saving three innocent lives
and letting 6,000 convicts escape.
Forget the authorities,
I won't let this happen.
Muthu, Ankur cannot die.
I wish to save Chandan
under any circumstances.
I'm ready to die to save him,
but not like this.
I can't let 6,000 criminals escape, Satya.
This is very wrong.
You're right, Muthu.
I'm wrong.
I never claimed to be ethical.
What I am is Ankur's sister.
Don't be a part of it,
but don't come in my way.
Satya
Satya, let me tell you the story
of the scorpion and the frog.
Not that story again.
Satya, I don't have plans
but I do have stories.
- There was once a rat.
- Okay.
He fell into the water,
and he gasped for air for 15 minutes.
He was about to die when he found a stick.
- Wow!
- The rat held on to it
and could breathe.
He rested a while
and ate the leaves stuck on the stick.
Then the stick drifted away.
Guess how long the rat
managed to stay alive?
Ten minutes? 15 minutes? 20?
Guess again.
Half an hour, an hour?
Sixty hours!
That's amazing, Satya!
In round two,
the rat not only survived, but smashed it.
Totally smashed it!
Search it on Google.
"Hope experiment with rats."
I don't want Google wisdom.
Just tell me how to smash it.
My favourite method. Fire!
Fire? Petrol? We don't have
any money left, Satya.
Sell your jewellery!
I got the fire
I got the fire
I got the fire
Boys, I'm back!
Let's get back to work.
Fan the flames
There's a fire in me
Fan the flames
Burn betrayal with justice
The fire will win! There's a fire in me
Cross all lines! Set the world aflame
I got the fire
I got the fire
I got the fire
Fan the flames
There's a fire in me
Cross all lines! Set the world aflame
There's a difference
between theory and practice, Satya.
Are you all set?
People here love discipline,
and I love chaos.
Okay, picture this.
Six thousand prisoners,
and around 500 police officers
are battling each other. Tell me.
Who would bother about a rat?
I've been ready since the day
my dad jumped from the balcony.
I'm all set.
Set.
Let the flames engulf you
I'm a tiger and I'm running fast!
I'm breaking the chains
- Long live revolution!
- Long live revolution!
- Long live revolution!
- Long live revolution!
Long live the revolution!
I got the fire
I got the fire
I got the fire
There's a fire in me
There's a fire in me
There's a fire in me
There's a fire in me
- Help!
- Call an ambulance!
- Please..
- Help them
I got the fire
Tiger, the job is done.
I have to do what I have to do.
It's my duty, Satya.
Same.
- Hello.
- Hello, Robert?
Hello?
Muthu had called.
Enough!
My brother cannot die.
The flowers and the stars
Come together to say
My sister is one in a million
This bond, this love is eternal
The flowers and the stars
Come together to say
Only you listen to all my ramblings
Only you remove all my obstacles
I am the sum total of your wishes
You are the sum total of my dreams
- Satya!
- Pain
Painkiller! Water, bandage.
Water.
The flowers and the stars
Come together to say
My sister is one in a million
This bond, this love is eternal
The flowers and the stars
Come together to say
Only you listen to all my ramblings
Only you remove all my obstacles
It's time, Satya.
I am the sum total of your wishes
You are the sum total of my dreams
You are my moon! My bright night
My sister is one in a million
This bond, this love is eternal
Sleep eludes me! Peace escapes me
My sister is one in a million
This bond, this love is eternal
The flowers and the stars
Come together to say
The flowers and the stars
Come together to say
Late night work? You go home!
This is the door for your soul.
After you die,
your soul will pass through there
and go up to heaven
no matter what kind of a sinner you are.
Yes?
I'm on it!
Let my wife and children go now.
You
You tried to disrespect me
You tried to break my prison.
And today,
I will honor you with justice
in accordance to rules
and laws of my great nation.
I'm very tempted to kill you,
you know? Just shoot!
But in this room? I cannot.
Old traditions must be respected.
The generator is still working.
Let's crash it.
Wait for 30 seconds.
All the lights are on.
The generator is still working.
Just wait for 30 seconds.
We've got to crash it now.
Come on, push the trucks!
Push the trucks!
Let's go!
God bless you.
God bless you.
God bless you.
Mr. Bhatia.
Mr. Bhatia!
Bless you, dear.
Hey.
Come.
Sit!
Sit!
- Make it tight.
- Yes, sir.
Open your mouth.
Look! Do you see something there?
There are trucks
approaching from the hillock!
Landa is in the execution room.
His walkie-talkie is off.
Long live revolution!
Bad omen. Close the Soul Door.
Yes, Father. Let me at least
see what happened.
Alert! Prison breach
Alert! Prison breach!
Be careful. It's downhill.
Do you remember the blueprint?
Block B1 to the terrace,
then to the gallows.
The Soul Door must be open.
Get the boys and come to admin block.
I'll meet you there.
Three unmanned trucks crashed
into the backup generators.
The whole island
is experiencing a blackout.
We tried to reach you,
but it all happened very fast.
- Bad omen. Close the Soul Door!
- Of course I can see that, Father.
Close the Soul Door.
At least the soul won't escape.
Everyone is escaping anyway. Lock and key.
How many times should I say
that I don't trust machines?
Explosion in cell Block C.
- Take the priest to the bunker.
- Yes, sir.
Father, please forgive me for my sins.
I will make sure I respect the room
and I will not use the firearms.
But now, I'm going to smoke a cigarette,
and I'm going to kill these boys
after that.
Please pray for me, Father,
as I'm doing my last duty for my nation.
All blocks are compromised!
Riots have broken out in all blocks!
OIC Landa, please respond.
Riots have broken out in all blocks!
We need backup from the mainland.
OIC Landa, respond!
The situation is totally out of control.
Prisoners have escaped to the city.
OIC Landa, respond!
OIC Landa, please respond
Landa is carrying out his final execution.
Over and out till then.
No more rules left to be broken, boy!
Come.
What is she doing?
Who is she?
- Long live revolution!
- Long live revolution!
Long live revolution!
Mr. Bhatia, it's closed.
Let's go, Ankur!
Over here! Come on!
I have a gun!
Anku!
Anku!
No fire! No fire!
No fire! No fire!
Back, I said!
No fire!
As you were falling, you discovered
You could put out the flames
Like icy water
Yours is a story that goes back in time
Oh, the story
Having travelled the world
Bulleh Shah said
"The ones who risk their lives stay alive"
Jigra! O Jigra!
Do not lose courage
Jigra! O Jigra!
This is your turn
Why fear?
If you are punished
For every breath you take
Jigra! O Jigra!
Do not lose courage
Jigra!
I'm always by your side
Jigra!
Jigra!
Do not lose courage
If we do not grab our share of love
The poor world will call you weak
Jump onto the roof! Go!
Having travelled the world,
Bulleh Shah said
"Jump off the cliff and you will fly"
Jigra! O Jigra!
Do not lose courage
Jigra! O Jigra!
Be prepared for the fight
Challenge the enemy
Let no one take your turn
Jigra! O Jigra!
- Sis!
- Run!
- Run!
- Let's go, come!
- Did his sister do all this?
- Who knows!
Over here
Is this your sister's doing?
She is in a bad mood.
Don't ask now. Just run!
Go straight! Open the door.
- Open it.
- It won't open.
Come in, Mr. Bhatia.
Mr. Bhatia, come in!
Open it!
- Friendship is faith to me
- Move! Move!
Friendship is faith to me
My friend is my life
- Let's go.
- Papa?
Stop!
Sis!
Sis! Talk to me.
- Are you my dad's friend?
- Down!
- Let me greet my dad.
- Don't move.
- Sis!
- Yes?
What's going on?
Let's get home first.
I'll explain everything.
Mr. Bhatia, what a playlist!
Thank you.
Bachchan forever!
Everyone, stay still.
All under control, okay?
Don't move! Stay down.
Friendship has bathed us in divine light
Friendship has bathed us in divine light
Friendship is life itself
The police will chase us till the docks.
I'll distract them so you can get there.
- Mr. Bhatia--
- No time to argue, Satya.
Our backup car is close.
Can I do something?
Tony
Tony.
Tony, be careful. Come forward.
Papa.
Tony.
Son, I've lived my life.
Now you must enjoy a long life, too.
For my sake.
Papa, I'm not going anywhere without you.
Papa, I won't go.
Go! Just go.
- Go.
- Papa, no.
Ankur, handle Tony.
Fetch the bags and the water can
from under the seat.
Take good care of him.
We have to stop here.
Brake! Brake!
Move! Hurry.
I'll keep Tony safe.
I know.
Idiot! Leave him. Follow me.
- Let's go.
- Satya!
That was fun!
Thank you.
Get out of the car!
Get down or we'll shoot!
I'm a tiger!
Fall back!
I've got you. Come.
Come on! Hurry.
Mayday! Mayday!
We are doctors without borders.
Medics without frontiers.
Doctors without borders!
Do you copy?
Do you copy?
I think we've crossed
international borders.
My map is not reading. Are we in range?
Are we in range? Do you copy?
Boat 0819. Are we in range?
Shit!
- Get me closer!
- We're close to the border.
I don't care!
I want to look them in the eye
when I shoot them
Point blank.
This is my island.
Understand or not?
I lost my prison, my honor.
Now you will all die!
Anku
Listen.
Don't stress.
Mayday!
What's papa doing?
Come on!
Even if the stars disappear
Or the moon hides
I'll keep you close
Whether something happens or not
I'll keep you close
If a terrible storm encircles you
I'll keep you close
Even if the stars disappear
Or the moon hides
I'll keep you close
These are Malaysian waters.
Hanshi Dao police, retreat!
These are Malaysian waters.
Hanshi Dao police, retreat!
Sis!
Home.
Where has this path led me?
Where?
You'll follow me wherever I go
Where has this path led me?
You'll follow me wherever I go
This path
I will follow you
Why so weary now?
Come back
Come home now
The caged bird is now in flight
Come home now
Hands held, hearts mended
Come home
Come home now
Even if the stars disappear
Or the moon hides
I'll keep you close
Whether something happens or not
I'll keep you close
If a terrible storm encircles you
I'll keep you close
Even if the stars disappear
Or the moon hides
I'll keep you close
I'll keep you close
I'll keep you close
Even if the stars disappear
Or the moon hides
I'll keep you close
