Taandob (2025) Movie Script
Good morning, viewers.
Welcome to Channel Bangla's
weather update.
I, Miraj, am here
with today's forecast.
According to
the national weather office...
there's no chance of any
disaster across the country.
No moderate or heavy rainfall
is expected in any areas.
The security forces
have not been issued any alerts.
The temperature and humidity
will remain normal.
Wind speed will be at
only eight km per hour.
We request everyone to continue
their daily business as usual.
That's a wrap on the weather report.
Thank you for tuning in.
Okay, cut it!
Okay?
- Studio!
- Yes, sir.
Here you go.
Check on the costumes.
- Excuse me, please.
- Watch out.
Let me know if you have any guests.
Bro.
I've been holding it in forever.
Now it's pouring.
And here all I can see
are dark clouds.
Why?
I'm interviewing a minister
for the first time.
The guy's throwing such tantrums.
He wants to have biryani
without potatoes.
- Really?
- Yes.
- Wish me luck.
- All the best.
Hurry up and get ready.
We're getting late, Arif.
Bring the minister.
On it.
Mic him.
What's the noise?
Sir, we're ready.
Sir is not ready yet.
Hold it closer.
- Touch up here.
- Yes, sir.
Sir, we're running late.
Please wait.
We need more time.
You're a good makeup artist.
Thank you.
This way, sir.
- So, Mr. Anchor.
- Yes, sir?
What's the topic of discussion?
The role of your ministry.
The power of youth in bringing change
and domestic violence.
- You know how the country--
- Enough!
Shut up and sit down.
A diva is in town to turn heads.
Hold your breath, folks!
Big round of applause!
Wait and watch.
Because the diva
is off to her lover's abode.
Big round of applause!
Get ready.
The show's about to begin!
Applause!
Dear viewers.
Live in the studio...
is the Minister of Power
and Energy, Mahatab Hussain.
- Sir, how are you?
- I'm fine, thanks to the people.
How does Bangladesh fare
in the global nuclear race?
Bangladesh's position is fantastic,
wonderful and unprecedented.
That's why...
We're tirelessly working towards
making more progress.
In the next few years...
Bangladesh will establish itself
as the top nuclear power.
Where are you going?
The last administration
wasn't bothered about all this.
They were too busy
robbing and scamming the citizens.
And investing abroad.
Weren't they?
We strongly believe,
the new administration
will take Bangladesh ahead
in the nuclear power sector.
So how is the country
at the moment?
Let's begin...
the destruction!
Welcome to the show!
Attention, everyone!
You're here to see her tricks.
Mind your own business.
And mind your pockets.
I'm not responsible if you get robbed.
Applause!
Our diva has impressed everyone
at her in-laws' place.
Doing somersaults for everyone.
Applause!
POLICE
It's bad news.
But breaking news.
Channel Bangla's office
has been attacked.
You'll run the breaking news.
It's special bulletin.
Send two reporters to the spot
right now.
Go for it!
Go! Go!
Just in!
Channel Bangla's office...
has been attacked by a few masked men.
Hello, hello, hello.
Please put your phones in this bag.
An armed group
has stormed the news office.
And is holding the reporters hostage.
We're trying to get an update...
Minister of Power and Energy
was shot during live broadcast.
The assailant revealed his face
on camera.
And threatened to cause destruction.
Ambulance and fire service vans
have arrived at the scene.
Stay with us.
We're bringing you the news live.
Stay tuned for live updates.
- Inspector General.
- Ma'am.
What the hell is going on?
What kind of lawlessness is this?
Who's he?
What does he want?
Sir, the force is ready.
- We're working on it.
- Work harder.
The whole country is in shock.
Everyone is on edge.
It's live on every news channel.
We don't know if the minister
has really been killed.
Or how many
are being held hostage.
But we have deployed
the police forces.
The situation will soon
be under control.
Why didn't we have any intel on this?
They attacked without warning.
No one has claimed responsibility.
Any word from inside?
Penetration is impossible.
It's a hostage situation.
Hey, weatherman.
Hey!
- What's up?
- Sir.
How's the weather now?
Terrifying.
You have to inform the people.
Go tell them!
Boss, he'll piss his pants.
He's freaked out.
- Hey.
- Boss.
- You report it.
- Okay.
- Hey.
- Come on.
Go live!
Yes, sir.
- No funny business.
- I'm afraid of guns.
Hey, idiot!
Wear your mask.
Bloody idiot!
Right.
Hey, go on air.
Dear viewers.
It's time for another weather update.
The skies are overcast
with impending danger.
Disaster is looming over the nation.
So all the stations...
Sorry.
All police stations are on red alert.
A level-10 warning has been issued.
Citizens are strongly advised...
...to stay indoors.
That's it for the weather today.
For more news updates...
...keep watching Channel Bangla.
All eyes are on Channel Bangla
right now.
Everyone wants answers.
- Do something.
- Sir.
-Track back the footage of the bus.
- Right, sir.
When and where did it come from?
Who were picked up?
How many criminals?
How many hostages?
I want every single detail
within 30 minutes.
Got it?
- Sir!
- Sir!
Check the footage from this camera.
Show me the other angle.
Play it slowly.
Go to camera eight.
Breaking news!
We've taken over
Channel Bangla's office.
Look who's eating
the minister's biryani.
We've got guns and bombs.
Cooperate with us otherwise--
Otherwise?
What then?
You'll shoot us?
Go ahead.
You'll have to kill me
before you touch my employees.
Mind it!
This is Channel Bangla.
Unstoppable Bangladesh.
Sir!
Sir.
Who are you?
Me?
CEO Mashrur.
Channel Bangla.
Unstoppable Bangladesh.
Take off his pants.
Mr. CEO.
Go back to your place.
Or else we'll take off
your underwear too.
With what you've got down there...
you won't be able to
show your face in public.
Come on, go back.
From now on, this is a prison.
And I'm the jailor.
If I say stand, you stand.
If I say sit, you sit.
- And if I say pee?
- I will pee.
Brilliant!
I need to pee
or I'll wet my pants.
Boss.
Go.
Mark his face.
And run it through the system.
Get me all the details on him.
I want every single f--king detail.
Hey, stupid!
- Stupid idiot!
- Sir, sir, sir...
- Get out of here.
- Sorry, sorry.
Come with me.
- What were you doing?
- Please sir.
- Sir, please.
- You've crossed all limits.
- Shut up.
- Please let us go.
- Come on!
- Hey!
- Shut up!
- Boss.
These two were making out
in the bathroom.
I swear to God!
I don't work here.
I'm a visitor.
I was here to surprise my girlfriend.
But...
I got surprised.
It's not his fault.
It's my fault.
I called him here.
I'm so sorry.
You're an outsider.
You should be dating someone else.
Not a girl from this office.
Start praying.
Sir?
- Open your mouth!
- Sir...
Sir, please.
No, no, no!
Please don't kill him.
Please...
Everybody be alert.
The special forces have surrounded you
from all sides.
Snipers have been positioned
on all exit points.
Please surrender.
We are ready to negotiate.
Let's talk.
What are your demands?
We're willing to negotiate with you.
I'm requesting you again.
Negotiation...
Please surrender.
Hey, CEO.
Where's the live studio?
Down the hall.
Hey, come on.
Time to go live.
We'll take action
in the next five minutes.
Sir, they're broadcasting live.
What?
Sir, they're live!
- Sajid, let's go.
- Move it fast.
This way, ma'am.
Here, sir.
Hello, hello, hello.
Mic testing.
Hello!
Is the audio clear?
This way.
Negotiate... Negotiate...
Want to negotiate?
Negotiation...
I see.
Okay, fine.
Let's negotiate.
Do something.
Send the Minister of Religious Affairs.
- Mom.
- Hmm?
Why don't you take your meds?
No.
This won't work.
He's in charge of religious affairs.
He'll be able to handle the situation.
Send the IGP too.
But...
Why the IGP?
He must be very busy.
The former IGP will do.
Send him.
What the...
You're retired.
Why do you have to go?
They need Rafiqullah.
No one else can negotiate
with them.
Everyone knows that.
If I don't call the channel head,
he might mind.
Baby, look.
They attacked my channel office.
Yes!
They attacked my office.
What the f--k!
Why are you happy about it?
We'll get TRPs.
It will be the number one channel
of Bangladesh.
Boss, how about a journalist?
Right, right, right.
Send a journalist too.
A top-notch one.
Someone who's got brains.
They have to match wits with me.
You're smoking on live TV.
Statutory warning.
Smoking is injurious to health.
You have one hour.
If you don't fulfill my demands
in an hour
I'll wreak havoc in the country.
Cut!
It's not possible.
Hello.
Get this under control
as soon as possible.
Let me show you a sample.
- Sample?
- What sample?
Boom!
Get ready, everyone.
Boys!
I need the bomb disposal unit active!
Fast!
Everybody, stay alert!
There's been a bomb blast
in front of Channel Bangla office.
We don't know the number
of fatalities or extent of damage yet.
We'll update you soon.
Impossible!
Call everyone.
It's urgent.
You can't go in.
- It's an emergency.
- You can't go.
- Did you watch the news?
- I did.
Channel Bangla's office
has been attacked.
The kidnapper wants to speak to sir.
Sir spends this time
with his mom every day.
What?
Want to say something?
Try to get some sleep.
You can resolve the matter.
I handle
the Ministry of Religious Affairs.
Why should I talk to--
Hello?
Hello?
Sir?
Leader is calling.
I'll talk to you later.
Hold this.
He's on a call.
Hello.
Why do I have to go?
No, no, no.
I'm the owner of the channel.
Why should I negotiate?
Impossible!
What is all this?
What the hell is going on?
What's with this live?
Worthless!
Disgusting!
Back when I was the IGP
I wiped out all the terrorism
from our country.
And what are you doing?
We have your records in our file.
- Hello, sir.
- Hello.
Have a seat.
So, Minister?
You're the youth of the nation.
You're supposed to resolve issues
in an instant.
But here you are.
Unable to do anything.
Please sit.
Leader, don't worry.
I'll handle it.
Sir.
I see.
He wants to negotiate in person.
Okay, sir.
Let's see what fate has in store.
Who will run the show?
Who will be the reporter?
I know a presenter.
Her name is Maria.
She's a beauty.
And there's Sonali.
She is tall.
An absolute stunner.
Nice.
You think he'll drop the gun
when he sees her?
Sorry, sir.
- Go on.
- Faiz.
Why are you quiet?
This is your field of expertise.
I know someone.
But she has always spoken
against the government.
Saira Ali.
Not her.
She's extremely insolent.
We need a journalist like her
to deal with a dangerous criminal.
She'll be the best.
Okay, fine.
Call her.
There's a problem.
What problem?
She won't come if I call her.
It would be better if you call her.
Hello.
Is this Saira Ali?
Yes, speaking.
Why aren't they letting go
of my wife?
Saira!
Saira, come fast.
See what's happening.
Take a look.
Where are you going?
Ministry of Home Affairs.
You're not going anywhere
in this situation.
Mom, I have to go.
It's urgent.
I said no.
Mom, I'll be fine.
Get up.
- Why?
- Get up fast.
What's wrong?
Listen.
Don't worry.
Everything will be fine.
Bye.
I don't want to lose you.
Bye.
Godspeed.
What do you want me to say?
I just want my son back.
- May I?
- Come in, Saira.
Yes, please.
Thanks for your quick response.
Sit down, please.
You probably know everything
by now.
Only you can rescue us
from this situation.
Whatever's happened...
The attack in the news office...
It's very unfortunate.
But the thing is I have...
I have quit journalism.
Sometimes you have to come back.
We need you, Saira.
Bangladesh needs your help.
My dear.
Look.
I'll offer special prayers for you
if you agree to do this.
I'll go in to negotiate.
Thank you.
But not for you.
I'll do it for the hostages.
Saira.
You're a saviour.
It's all up to you now.
What are you saying?
You're the one in power.
We're all just puppets.
Sometimes we're used
to cover up the truth.
Sometimes to mislead the public.
And sometimes to get you
out of trouble.
Okay.
Let's hope for the best.
Hundreds of people are waiting
for their loved ones.
The country is waiting to see
the outcome.
All police units have joined hands
with the special forces.
Stay tuned for the latest update.
Sir.
Bayajid, proceed.
Why aren't we taking any action?
Sir, we're always ready for action.
But our main focus
is the lives of the hostages.
There are many people inside.
We have to get them out safe.
Go inside and try to negotiate
with them.
So that we can enter the building.
Disgusting.
We'll divide you into three teams.
First, Saira ma'am.
Second, both of you.
Finally, sir, you.
Fahad, give them the vests.
At any cost,
we must ensure their security.
Mom.
Yes.
My phone will be off.
Why?
I need your prayers.
Why will your phone be off?
You'll find out soon.
I'm very worried.
Come on.
Saira, you're first person going in.
Talk to them
and try to convince them.
Negotiate with them.
And yes.
Keep this pen.
Keep it with you.
- I'm placing it here.
- Yeah.
Fahad.
Okay.
Best of luck.
Boss.
Everything is under control.
Our men are in position.
No one can enter the building.
Good.
My inhaler...
Please...
Please, please, please.
My inhaler...
- Take it.
- Please give it back.
Please sir.
Here it is.
- Here.
- Please, please, please.
Please give the inhaler
back to him.
Top journalist.
No.
I'm a retired journalist.
Then what are you doing here?
Come on, brother.
- Hey, baldy!
- Give him the inhaler.
Or he'll die.
- I can't breath.
- He'll die anyway.
His time is over.
But time's not up yet.
You gave us time.
I'm here.
The others are waiting outside.
Please give back his inhaler.
Please.
And let them go, please.
Please.
Cool down.
Let's talk.
Thank God!
Thanks, brother.
Hey.
Take off the vest and hidden device.
Done.
Trying to act smart?
Motherf--kers!
I'll kill everyone.
Don't act smart.
Now tell me.
Is Mr. Mahatab still alive?
Athena.
Yes, boss.
Check if he's popped off.
Okay, boss.
Still alive.
But he's bleeding a lot.
I haven't been to a funeral in years.
You're not supposed to either.
You're supposed to negotiate, right?
Please get him out of here.
He needs to be taken
to a hospital.
And let them all go.
There are children.
They're innocent.
Making demands?
You think this is a joke?
No.
Not demands.
Human rights.
B---h talks too much.
- Khalid.
- Yes, boss.
Let go of these pawns.
And let the real players in.
Let everyone go.
Please listen to me.
Don't threaten them.
They're very scared.
I don't make empty threats.
I do not make empty threats.
I'm serious.
Very serious.
Please help.
Ambulance.
Take off the vests
and get ready.
We're going live.
Live?
Is this a joke?
Anything can happen.
It'll be a disaster.
- Faiz.
- Yeah.
Why are we here?
We're here to negotiate.
Not take part in some talk show.
Right?
You're right.
Saira, ask him to get up.
Let's hear what he wants
so that we can negotiate.
The minister is here too.
Hey, put it down.
Do you know who I am?
The former IGP.
Shut up!
We're not going live.
We're here to negotiate.
Let's do it.
Negotiation, conclusion...
Everything will happen live.
Nothing in private.
Everything will be out in the open.
The public has the right
to know everything.
Human rights.
Disgusting!
Hey, IGP.
Hush!
Athena.
Yes, boss.
Bring them to the set in five minutes.
Okay.
Sir.
Did you watch
the Channel Bangla news?
- What happened?
- Their office has been attacked.
Can't you serve some salad
with the food?
- I'll get it tomorrow.
- Make sure you do.
Okay.
Sir.
Dear Bangladesh.
I'm Saira Ali reporting live.
This live is for me.
For you.
For all of us.
It's a new experience.
Because we've never come across
such a live broadcast.
I know you all are eagerly waiting.
Joining us live is...
The former Home Minister.
The Minister of Religious Affairs,
Monayem Choudhury.
Former Inspector General, Rafiqullah.
Channel Bangla's owner, Faiz Karim.
And our main guest...
Excuse me.
Please take your seat.
We're on air.
Hey, channel owner.
- Get up. Move.
- What?
Where will I sit?
Get him a chair.
- Very good.
- Serves him right.
Being a channel owner,
I shouldn't sit here.
I suggest...
I think...
we should switch seats, IGP.
Stop talking and sit down.
Asking the IGP to sit
on a cheap chair?
You sit on it.
You're retired.
Don't forget I own the channel.
- Shut up--
- You shut up!
Hey!
Sit down!
He should keep standing.
Please start.
Why did you the attack
the news office?
We want to establish
a proper justice system.
Sorry?
Establish justice system?
By breaking the law?
The same philosophy
as taking antibiotics.
Antibiotics use bacteria
to kill bacteria in the body.
Similarly, we are using evil
to fight evil like you.
So you're being evil?
Okay.
Good analogy.
But what do you want?
Why are you holding
50 employees hostage?
They're not bacteria, after all.
Besides, you've brutally
shot the minister.
All the people of Bangladesh
are watching you live.
So please clarify.
My dear.
I'm the Minister of Religious Affairs.
I deal with religious issues.
I had an important meeting today.
With
the National Moon Sighting Committee.
I'm here
because this is equally important.
But I don't think
I'm really needed here.
I'll pray for you
if you let me leave.
Let me get back to my work.
Besides, it's quite packed in here.
Come, sit.
Take my seat.
- Sit.
- Thank you.
Old man!
Take your seat.
Come on.
Sit down.
- I don't--
- I'll come back to you later.
First, you enlighten us.
What led you
to attack the news office?
And why?
Please tell us.
The floor is yours.
If you want to know the reason...
you have to know Shadhin.
Check the name in the database
right now.
Pull up his record.
- Fast, fast, fast!
- Right away, sir.
Sir, sir, sir...
We have to go back eight years.
When Shadhin's story began.
Why are you here so late?
We'll meet in the morning.
Will you come outside
or should I come in?
Okay, fine.
I'll be right there.
We need to talk.
But not here.
No, let's talk here.
- Your dad?
- Dad?
Dad's sleeping.
Why weren't you answering my calls?
The interview didn't go well?
You could've just told me.
What do I say?
I appeared for 22 interviews.
All of them went well
but didn't get the job.
Why don't you tell your dad?
He's a famous teacher.
Maybe--
He won't pull any favours for me.
I told him a lot of times
but he didn't budge.
He's very stubborn.
What should I do?
My parents are looking for a groom.
Come over and meet my dad.
Tell him you love me
and want to marry me.
Oh my God!
I can't meet your dad.
I'm scared of him.
Then why are you dating me?
You will meet Dad.
And tell him...
you'll find a job in two months
and get married to me.
What the hell!
I won't get a job so quick.
Do something.
You should...
get married to the guy
they choose for you.
Okay.
I'll get married to some other guy.
You stay at home.
I'll send the invitation card.
You and your dad
come to the wedding.
Hey, wait...
Don't be mad at me.
I can't live without you.
I've lost my mother.
Can't find a job.
You're all I have.
Why are you so naive?
I've always been like this.
That's why I love you so much.
Bye.
Come, I'll drop you home.
Really?
Won't you feel scared
to return alone?
Why?
Stay on the phone with me.
Right!
Dad.
This is Shadhin.
- Hello.
- Hello.
I want to talk to him alone.
Pass me the striker.
Sure.
Leave us alone.
I'll take it from here.
- Okay.
- Your turn.
Go for it.
Talk.
- About what?
- Just talk.
- Come on, play.
- Yeah.
You know carrom is like life?
Yes.
You can easily score the red puck.
But following it up with another puck
is the hard part.
- Do you get it?
- Yes.
Same with love.
It's easy to fall for someone.
But building a home with them
is the challenge.
- Hit the black puck.
- Yeah.
You know Nishad is my only daughter.
How will you provide for her?
You'll have to find a job.
Yes, I will find a job.
- What?
- I...
- I'll get a job.
- I see. Tell me.
How much time do you need?
T-Two... Two months.
Good.
But if you can't...
I'll marry her off to someone else.
- Hello.
- Hello.
Listen up.
He'll get settled
in two months.
Now serve us lunch.
I haven't cooked.
No lunch?
No.
The stove is not working.
I'll get going.
Okay.
I'm sure he'll find a job
in two months.
Even two years isn't enough
for him to get a job.
You are always so angry.
He came home for the first time.
Call me.
Okay.
Coming.
Let him get a job first.
One month went by in a flash.
There were no jobs in the market.
You need money or connections
to land a job.
I would've got a job
if you'd helped.
You just had to make one call.
Why should I call anyone?
Why did I pay for your studies then?
Having a degree
doesn't guarantee a job.
It means nothing without connections.
I would've got a job
if I had connections.
How did I get a job
without any connections?
How do I make you understand?
- Bloody hell!
- Break everything!
You can't convince me.
God knows
how Mom lived with you.
Thank God she's dead!
Right!
That's all you can do.
You can only hit me
where it hurts the most.
Listen.
If you can make it on your own...
nothing is better than that.
Trust me.
Hey.
Have your food.
I am sorry.
Take a bite.
Eat.
I am sorry too.
I had only one month left.
Didn't know what to do.
So I came to Dhaka
with my bag full of dreams.
Shadhin.
You're my mentor's son.
You're like a brother to me.
Why will you waste money
staying at a hotel?
I've got a room.
You'll put up here.
It's a little hot during the day.
But cool at night.
You can spend time
watching the cars go by.
Come inside.
Take a look.
This is your room.
I've got some stuff for my business.
There's a computer too.
You can use it for work.
- Do you like the room?
- Yes.
- Let me know if you need anything.
- Okay.
Sir.
You've scored well.
But this...
...is your first job interview.
What are your ideas about
ads for the product?
Sir, it's all about selling a brand
and making people
fall in love with it.
Very good.
Great interview.
I'm impressed.
I'm confident you'll get the job.
I told Nishad
I nailed the interview.
I would get a job for sure.
I kept waiting
for the official call and mail.
And I finally got it.
Check your mail.
Your job is confirmed.
Joining is tomorrow.
What?
Check your email.
I'll check right away.
Hello.
Hello.
Nishad, I got the job.
No one can stop us
from getting married.
Really?
Dad!
Shadhin has landed the job.
What?
Shadhin got the job.
Hello, Dad.
Hello.
I got the job.
Really?
Yes, Dad.
Yes, finally.
I got the job!
I got the job!
I got the job!
No one can beat me now.
I got dressed
and left for my new office.
You'll have to pay.
- Not possible without money.
- I'm Shadhin.
- Today's my joining date.
- Hold on a minute.
- You're Shadhin?
- Yes.
Wait.
Sir.
- Hello, sir.
- Hello.
Today's my joining date.
Very unfortunate.
That mail wasn't for you.
Someone else got the job.
The typist sent you the mail
by mistake.
Very unfortunate!
So, Shadhin?
How was your first day at work?
What happened?
- Get out!
- I beg you.
- Security!
- I've already informed my family.
- Throw him out!
- I'm ready to do anything.
- What the hell!
- I really need the job.
- Stop the drama!
- Please don't do this to me.
Hey, careful.
- I need the job.
- Get lost!
I'll handle it.
I didn't get the job.
What?
Sent you the mail by mistake?
You did get the job.
But boss took a bribe
and gave it to someone else.
Money speaks in this city.
I passed the interview.
I was qualified.
Still, they didn't give me the job.
Do you know any place
where I can get a job?
Yes.
Around Gulshan and Banani.
A job might come your way
if you go there.
A manager's job.
Or a personal secretary.
Some odd job.
You're quite handsome.
You'll land a job easily.
Bro.
Can I get a part-time job?
Any work would do.
Guard's duty.
Hotel job.
Rubbish!
Why would you work as a guard?
- Can you ride a bike?
- Yes.
Then you've got a job already.
Do delivery runs at night.
Job hunt during the day.
Bro.
You're a great guy.
Sir.
This sounds like a personal vendetta.
I was going crazy.
What would I tell my dad?
How would I face Nishad?
No problem at all.
Keep it here.
Please have some.
It's Shadhin.
Hello.
Hello...
Listen...
I have something to tell you.
Who is it?
- It's Shadhin.
- What?
- Shadhin.
- Let me talk to him.
Listen--
How are you?
Uncle...
I didn't get the job.
We've fixed your wedding
for next week.
What are you saying?
But I'll find a job soon.
Everything's fine.
You there?
Uncle--
No.
Don't worry.
You haven't put on
your hearing aid.
What are even talking about?
Hello.
Your dad is here.
I'll make dinner.
They're having sweets.
- Forgot the hearing aid.
- Talk later.
Bye.
Please have it.
I started lying from then on.
I lied so often...
that it became a habit.
Hello.
Where are you?
Had lunch?
Yeah, done.
Where are you?
Why so much traffic?
Sound of traffic?
I am at the balcony so...
Where's your office?
It's in Motijheel.
The head office is here.
I work at the head office.
Have you given an interview?
I've been in Dhaka for a long time.
Don't think I can survive much longer.
Please, sir.
You can do anything if you want.
You have a lot of connections.
I'm in a meeting.
Please help me get a job.
Hello.
Where are you?
I'm in office.
What are you doing?
Having lunch.
What are you having?
For lunch?
Chowmein, fried rice,
a lot of other dishes.
Chowmein?
Wish I was there with you.
I would've cooked for you.
You wouldn't have to eat chowmein.
Hello.
Where are you?
Why aren't you answering your phone?
I've been on night shift
for the last few days.
But why?
You know...
I'll have to take a long leave.
That's why
I'm working extra hours.
Come down a few days earlier.
We're getting married next week.
None of this would've happened
if you hadn't got the job.
You know, Mom and Dad
are so happy.
I started living in delusion.
I convinced myself...
that I had a job.
That I went to office every day.
That I actually worked.
I know I won't get the job.
Everyone always says...
...it's a great interview.
But no one ever hires me.
- Thank you.
- You're hired.
- What did you say?
- You're hired.
Are you serious?
When can you join?
Sir.
I'll join soon after my wedding.
Okay, good luck for your wedding.
We'll see you soon.
Shadhin.
He's still sleeping.
Shadhin!
You have a bus to catch.
It's your wedding tomorrow.
Don't you want to get married?
- Dozed off.
- Hurry up and get ready.
Why are we listening to this story?
For the twist in the tale.
Or people will get bored.
Why did you kill Harris?
I didn't kill anyone, sir.
It's routine police check.
Don't worry.
Check everyone.
Show me your face.
What's your name?
I am Shadhin.
Oh, you're Shadhin.
Come with us.
- Come on.
- Why?
We need to talk to you.
- I haven't done anything.
- We'll decide that.
Cover his face.
- Keep quiet!
- I haven't done anything.
Sir, should I inform
the local police station?
- Why?
- We nabbed him.
You still haven't learnt anything.
Get in the car.
Why did you kill Harris?
Why did you kill Harris?
I didn't kill anyone.
Give him the pill.
We did for two days.
Any more and he'll die.
Who hired you in the department?
- Get out!
- Please let me go.
My family's waiting for me.
It's my wedding.
- Please let me go.
- Look, kiddo.
For the last two days...
...you've been pretending.
But there's no use.
Stop playing innocent.
Even seasoned criminals
couldn't fool me.
I'm just an ordinary guy, sir.
I didn't kill anyone.
We'll have a press conference,
and case closed.
I am telling the truth, sir.
Believe me.
- You didn't kill Harris?
- I didn't, sir.
Please let me go.
- You didn't lie, right?
- I didn't, sir.
Listen to this audio.
My office is in Motijheel.
The head office is here.
I work at the head office.
Now watch this video.
You were in Gulshan.
Why did you lie?
You just said you didn't lie.
Why did you kill Harris?
What?
It was you who killed Harris?
It was never proven.
That's because you fled.
The cops couldn't arrest you.
Arrest?
Vanish!
I know this guy.
Tell us what happened.
They'll do the honours.
This bastard is just killing time.
If we don't take action
it'll be a disaster.
He's just playing.
I've called them here
to give us answers.
I'll come to them later.
First, you tell us.
Police took you into custody.
They beat you.
But didn't show
an arrest report?
Exactly.
- How is that possible?
- Impossible!
What about your friends and family?
Did no one go the police?
They didn't even know I was arrested.
Sir!
You've got it all wrong!
I didn't kill anyone!
I'm innocent!
Sir...
Nishad!
It's time, dear.
Where's your son, Shadhin?
- He hasn't been answering my calls.
- What?
- What will people say?
- I tried calling.
Your son has humiliated us.
He has ruined
my daughter's life!
So, an anonymous group of people
captured you?
Spot on.
But why?
Who were they?
Where did they take you?
I couldn't see anyone's face.
They always kept their faces covered.
Not a peep made it past
those walls.
One day, I heard...
Nishad killed herself.
Because she couldn't be
with someone else.
Wait, wait, wait.
You said you were in a secret place.
An iron cell.
No contact with the outside world.
Then how did...
...this news reach you?
Disgusting!
It's all made up.
I smell a conspiracy.
Bayajid, any update?
Thirty seconds.
Fantastic!
All the best, boys.
I strongly protest
this act of defamation.
And I strongly protest
the injustice done to me.
Sir.
- What the hell?
- What's going on?
Go in.
Move! Move!
Boss, they got in.
Take care of it.
Viewers.
It's time for a two-minute break.
Lots of surprises on the other side.
Get ready.
The game is afoot.
It's time for some action.
Shundori's husband is caught.
The cops have taken him
to the station and beaten him.
- Applause!
- Applause!
Dear viewers, today is a black day
in the history of Bangladesh.
By breaking the law and order
the country's future
is put in danger
by young people like Shadhin.
Hey!
Shoot them.
Quiet!
Shoot them right in the head.
Blow their brains out.
Shoot them!
Bayajid, come in.
Bayajid, any update?
We're in trouble.
Abort!
Come back! Stop!
Stop!
Mission abort!
Saira.
Put the gun down.
There are a lot of hostages here.
Their lives are very important.
- Stand down.
- Boss.
Ad break is over in 30 seconds.
Gun down!
Saira, please.
Go back.
Back, back, back!
Go back!
Let's finish
the live telecast properly.
Come on.
Move!
- Need to use the data centre.
- Please sign.
No one is answering their phone.
Sir, please answer the phone.
Dear viewers, we're back
after the break to the discussion.
Shadhin, I had asked you a question
before we went on the break.
While you were locked up
in the so-called iron cell
how did you find out
about Nishad's death?
How did I find out?
How did I find out?
No room for the new prisoner
in the cell.
Which cell should we put him in?
You'll end up like him
if you don't confess by tomorrow.
Come on, spit it out!
Admit you killed Harris.
I don't know Harris, sir.
I don't know Harris.
Please don't beat me.
Don't beat me.
I will die.
Please don't beat me.
I will die.
Allah!
Hey, who are you?
You sound like a good guy.
Who are you?
I-I am Shadhin.
I'm Shadhin.
I didn't kill anyone.
They're hurting me a lot.
They're hurting me.
Once I get out of here...
...I will kill them all.
They've ruined my life.
I'll settle every score.
I'll finish them off.
Hit him.
Stop.
Laptop.
Look.
We've killed your father.
See for yourself.
We killed him without mercy.
Confess or you won't be able to
see his body.
One more thing.
Your girlfriend killed herself.
Confess or
you won't even see their bodies.
Come on, eat.
You have two days.
Confess or we'll kill you too.
Move.
What happened after that?
After that...
Destruction!
Send security forces.
Then we planned to destroy everything.
That's the end of my story.
Now I have a question
for three of them.
Tell me.
Answer me.
Why me?
I was innocent.
This is not the time
to remain silent, Honorable Minister.
What is Iron Cell?
Who is imprisoned here?
And why?
We also need to find out
what this "Iron Cell" is.
Disgusting!
Please try to understand my question.
Was he unlawfully detained?
Question doesn't arise.
Does that mean
he's making all this up?
Of course, he is.
I have investigated the case myself.
- There's no such thing.
- I'll come back to Mr. Rafiqullah.
My next question
is for Mr. Faiz Karim.
After the murder of JW Harris
international media had repeatedly
raised the point.
A certain powerful circle
was unhappy with Harris.
And it was
an absolute personal grudge.
Why did you try to frame
an innocent in your report?
Excuse me.
We're out of time.
I have to pray.
Can someone get me a prayer mat?
Old man!
Sit down.
Give her a straight answer.
Time stops in prison.
Pray for as long as you want.
Hey, you!
Are you threatening me with prison?
I'm not threatening you, old man.
Just giving you
some information in advance.
Sit.
What took you so long?
Okay, fine.
Let's come to the point.
We have information
about disappearances.
And might I add,
we have a lot of them.
How do you justify the numbers
as the former Home Minister?
Every discussion
has a right place.
Don't think this is the right place
for any important discussion.
This is the right place, sir.
Let me tell you the number
of live viewers.
The number is 10,57,93,557.
We've received more than
one crore comments.
This live has received the most number
of views, comments and reactions.
Honourable Minister.
Please clarify.
Bangladesh wants to know.
Miss Saira.
They won't answer your question
so easily.
What I'm about to do right now...
will make them answer your question
even before you ask them.
Hey!
Set it up.
Oh no!
Mom!
This is not right.
My mother is unwell.
My mother won't survive
without oxygen, Shadhin.
- Please!
- Old man!
Locate where the live
is being transmitted from.
Okay, sir.
Her survival is in your hands.
Keep talking and she'll live.
Come on, begin.
Honorable Minister,
please don't be quiet.
Your silence will cost you.
Such drama!
Sir.
My chest hurts.
I have a heart disease.
Sir, they are streaming it live
from the channel.
Audio has been recorded before.
They have matched
the video later.
They're using VPN.
The location shows Nigeria.
Damn it!
Come on, old man.
No pointing pretending here.
There are no doctors.
Please begin.
Don't waste more time.
Please answer my question.
There, he's fine now.
The thief has been caught.
No way to escape.
The thief is caught.
Shundori, let's go.
Game over.
The person responsible
for all this...
...is Amjad Mansoor and his son,
Armaan Mansoor.
Which Amjad Mansoor?
Industrialist Amjad Mansoor?
Give her the oxygen, please.
Finally, he's talking.
Hey!
Ask them to give her oxygen.
Put the oxygen mask on.
Please tell us the entire truth.
Will you excuse me?
I have to use the washroom.
Sure, sure, sure.
Where is Armaan?
Sir, your dad is calling.
Sir.
The foreign delegate is waiting
for you.
It's Harris.
Sir, he's here.
Sir!
Sir, sir, sir.
Sir!
Sir! Sir!
Never disturb a man...
while he is having fun.
Okay, baby?
Yes, sir.
Let go of me!
Let me go!
- Go look for Armaan.
- Okay, sir.
Never answers his phone.
What's your problem, son?
I've been calling you
for the last couple of hours.
You don't answer.
Neither do you call back.
What's going on?
Why are you all sweaty?
What were you doing?
Exercise.
I know all about it.
Kiddo.
Listen to me.
We have an important meeting.
Go and change.
Hurry up.
Young man,
you shouldn't be doing that.
Read the contract for me.
It's deal worth two billion.
It's all good.
Where is he?
He went to the washroom.
He's taking too long.
Where the hell is he?
- Was he in a black suit?
- Yes, he's a foreigner.
F--k!
- What happened?
- F--k!
What are you looking at?
Who are you, motherf--ker?
What does that mean?
Motherf--ker!
- What's wrong?
- F--k!
What happened?
Who do you think you are?
F--k!
F--k! F--k! F--k!
I'm f--king love it!
F--k!
Good for health.
Bloody swine!
What have you done?
Where's the a--hole?
Sent him abroad.
Why did he have to murder
a foreigner?
Disgusting!
My naive son
has made a small mistake.
This is a easy matter for you.
What do you want
to make it go away?
Need 500 crores.
Done.
Rafiqullah.
You have no idea
what you're agreeing to.
We want 500 crores per head.
This is nothing compared
to your son's life.
Monayem.
I've always sponsored
your election campaigns.
Given you everything
you ever needed.
Just because my son
made a small mistake
I'm stuck in this problem.
And you're taking advantage
of the situation.
- That's why...
- Hey.
That's why he called us here
to meet you.
I'll take care of the law and order.
I'll solve your problem.
Sir will supervise everything.
He's the Home Minister.
His ministry will tackle everything.
And his channel
will run the information we want.
I'll tell Faiz to ensure the public
forgets about this incident.
- What say, Faiz?
- Yes, I'll look into it.
There you go.
So...
Per head... 500 crores.
And 1000 crores for sir.
Okay?
Yes, 1000 crores.
Done?
Done.
Hello, sir.
Yes, Rafiqullah.
Whats the matter?
Sir.
The international media
is going berserk about Harris.
We are in trouble.
We've already arrested one person.
He'll confess soon.
He's been spotted in Gulshan
regularly before the date of crime.
We have CCTV footage
and other supporting info.
We've taken the lead.
Why did you kill Harris?
I didn't kill anyone, sir.
I didn't kill...
I want every detail on this guy.
Where does he go? What does he do?
Every little detail.
On it, sir.
Sir, I'm ADC Kamrun.
I have something to say.
Tell me.
Our prime suspect has actually
not committed the murder.
I have asked around
in his neighbourhood.
He's a very nice guy.
No one has anything bad
to say about him.
His father used to be
a school headmaster.
I got a new information.
What?
The guy was supposed to get married.
But he didn't show up
for his wedding.
He's been missing since then.
Please give me a week, sir.
I'll arrest everyone involved
and solve the case.
Shut up!
Mr. Know-it-all!
- Get lost!
- Go!
Disgusting!
Why have you given him
such a sensitive case?
Transfer him.
I'll take care of it.
Don't worry.
I'll transfer him
out of Dhaka.
But sir...
The situation is going out
of control.
That guy is not talking at all.
A confession is out of question.
Problem is
we haven't arrested him officially.
We can't keep him in our custody
any longer.
If the information
is leaked to the media
the government will be in trouble.
One more thing.
The female journalist
from Channel Bangla
is troubling me a lot.
Disgusting, sir!
Please stop them.
- I'll look into it.
- Okay, sir.
- Shafiuddin.
- Sir.
I'm hearing good things about you.
I'm proud of you.
Thank you, sir.
The IG must have told you
about the guy...
He has to be taken to the Iron Cell.
Will it be the right thing to do
for such a small case?
If it were a small case
I wouldn't call you home.
Right, sir.
Amazing, Honourable Minister.
Amazing!
So you're admitting
that he didn't kill JW Harris.
Shadhin had nothing to do
with his death.
Old man!
Say it out loud.
"I admit it".
I admit it.
I can't believe it!
How can a minister do such a thing?
Disgusting!
Bloody rascal!
Hey!
I did all the dirty work alone?
You didn't do anything?
Didn't you take a bribe
of 500 crores?
Bloody B-----d!
- Mind your language!
- Shut up!
Don't forget...
I'm the Inspector General of Police.
Right, former IGP.
Why are you butting in?
- I'll give you a tight slap.
- Stop it!
Hey!
I'll knock all your teeth out.
Hey, IGP!
Hush!
Okay, okay.
You'll have plenty of time in jail.
Fight all you want.
Miss Saira, continue.
My next question is for Faiz Karim.
Why did you stop all the reporting
on Harris' murder?
I wanted to report on it.
But he stopped me.
- I wanted to--
- Bloody liar!
I stopped you from reporting?
And you were sucking your thumb?
Didn't you take 500 crores?
You did.
So did you.
I wasn't the only one.
Bloody swines!
B-----ds!
People are vandalising the properties
of corrupt politicians and tycoons.
Open the gate!
Open the damn gate!
Dismiss the officer immediately.
What?
I think I should go to the site.
Why do you have to go?
Things will go out of control
if I don't.
And I want to arrest them myself.
They have destroyed our lives.
As you can see,
it's total chaos out here.
The streets have turned into war zone.
Everyone's demanding strict action
against the corrupt officials.
Hey!
Tie them up
and hand them over to the police.
Yeah!
Come on!
What's wrong with you?
You can't do this
without a court order.
Of course, I can.
It's personal.
Because I am the law.
Tie them up!
I don't know if you remember.
But I once told you...
truth can never be hidden.
No matter how much you try
to cover it with lies
it always finds its way out.
You won't get too far
without my channel.
As a journalist,
it's my duty to speak for the people.
If you don't let me do it
I don't need this job.
And keep in mind.
Truth will force its way out
some day or the other.
Wait for that day.
Wait and watch.
Brilliant, Miss Saira.
That's why you're a top journalist.
Brilliant!
Thanks for the compliment.
Dear viewers,
truth has finally triumphed over lies.
We found out
Shadhin didn't tell us a story.
He laid bare the ugly reality
of our justice system.
Some corrupt, greedy
and cruel people got exposed.
They've been sweeping crimes
under the rug for way too long.
Their actions led to a murder.
And destroyed the life
of an innocent person like Shadhin.
But you can't escape karma.
That's why the culprits
were caught in their own trap.
We believe all politicians...
All law enforcement officers...
All media professionals
are not dishonest.
But people like Monayem Choudhury,
Rafiqullah and Faiz Karim...
give politics a bad name.
Bring disgrace to the police force.
And cause the media
to lose credibility.
We demand the three culprits
be brought to justice.
And face strict punishment
for their actions.
So that all those people
who suffered like Shadhin...
finally find some peace.
I'm Saira Ali,
signing off from today's live.
I'll see you again
in search of another truth.
- Shadhin!
- Shadhin!
Your team members...
disappeared into the crowd.
Why didn't you?
- Shadhin!
- Shadhin!
I'll surrender.
I'll turn myself in.
Shadhin.
The people of Bangladesh
have started loving you.
With thousands of people here...
it's impossible to arrest you.
- Shadhin!
- Shadhin!
- Shadhin!
- Shadhin!
I am truly free today.
Because I've exposed those
who wronged me.
I've unmasked them
right in front of the nation.
But...
I must admit I have sinned too.
I took the law into my own hands.
I should pay for it too.
I want every criminal to be punished.
Every sinner, brought to justice.
I want law and order to prevail.
That's why...
I will surrender to the police.
I have only one request.
Please don't stop them
from doing their duty.
One more thing.
Whenever you witness
injustice, crime or corruption
always raise your voice against it.
Because I'm not the only one
who's free.
You all are free.
This is a free country.
We all are free!
Arrest him.
Go.
Sir.
We're sure...
...the police will catch
JW Harris' killer soon.
That's all for today
on Saira's Search for Truth.
I'll see you again next week.
Stay safe.
Good night.
The female journalist
from Channel Bangla...
is troubling me a lot.
Disgusting, sir!
I'll look into it.
Why did you call so many times, Mom?
Some people captured Evan.
Who?
How would I know?
Who took him away, Mom?
I don't know.
What do you have to say
about these disappearances?
So many people have gone missing.
I'll call you later.
- Get in!
- Who the hell are you?
- Let go of me!
- Shut up and get in!
- Move it!
- Let me go!
Can you prove it?
Know anyone who's gone missing?
You?
Are you joking?
My brother has been missing
for the last three months.
I will find him, sir.
No matter what.
You're a responsible person.
I hope you find your brother.
I will be happy for you.
How dare you?
Why did you interview
the Home Minister?
Didn't I tell you it's all bogus?
It's not bogus.
I have all the evidence.
I have documents to prove it.
I beg you, sir.
Please...
Saira, listen.
There's no such thing.
How are you so sure?
I've been running this channel
for a long time.
Journalism has nothing to do
with your channel.
So overconfident?
I can make and break journalists
like you.
You won't get too far
without my channel.
You wouldn't be a journalist
if it wasn't for my channel.
I speak for the people.
It's my duty as a journalist.
If you don't let me do it...
...I don't need this job.
Saira.
I'm Shadhin.
I have some information
on your brother.
Your brother and I
were in the same cell.
I didn't do anything!
Help!
Sister!
Sister!
"Were"?
Confess.
I didn't do anything, sir.
Believe me.
I didn't do anything.
Confess before I lose it.
I didn't do anything.
Sir, please believe me...
They killed your brother.
They've brutally killed
many innocent people.
So we've decided to take revenge.
You can join us if you want.
Or you can turn us in to the police.
Here, take a look.
They are all involved in this crime.
Can you attack
Channel Bangla's office?
Why?
You have to hold them hostage
and unmask them
in front of the whole nation.
So that...
...they don't get off scot free.
Can you do it?
Shadhin.
What you did today...
Great job!
You're a real hero.
Villain.
Hello.
Hello, ma'am.
Shadhin got away.
He killed the cops and fled.
Please come to the home ministry.
What?
Get out of there fast.
Okay, on my way out.
Amjad sir has been caught.
What?
Attack all his properties and mills.
Take over all of them.
Okay.
Should we destroy them?
Yes.
What about his son?
I have locked him up.
- On his dad's orders?
- Yes.
We have to deal with him.
Did boss ask you
to keep him locked up?
What should I do with him?
Kill him.
Okay.
I'll hand him over to the cops.
Sir.
Sir?
Sir.
Sir, wake up.
Easy there.
Sir.
Sir.
Are you listening?
Sir.
It's all over.
They've burned down your house.
The police arrested your dad.
I am not at fault.
Your dad asked me
to lock you up.
You have to run from here.
Cigarette?
Hold on.
Here.
Here you go.
You can't stay here.
I will get you out of here.
Sir.
Get up.
Sir?
Sir.
Sir!
Sir-- Sir...
Bloody son of a b---h!
Want to hand me over to the cops?
I'm Amjad Mansoor's son!
Armaan f--king Mansoor!
What?
Dead?
F--k you!
Saira.
What's going on?
What does this guy want?
Shadhin?
- Are you sure?
- Hundred percent.
I saw the helmet cam footage
of the Special Force.
Shadhin shot them and fled.
I don't get it.
Are we sympathising
with the wrong person?
Sir.
- There's a big confusion.
- What is it?
The man we saw live
is not Shadhin.
He's someone else.
- What?
- Yes, sir.
I was the one who arrested Shadhin.
Then I found out
that he was innocent.
Why did you kill Harris?
I didn't do anything, sir.
I want every detail on this guy.
Where does he go? What does he do?
Every little detail.
On it, sir.
I want a detailed report.
Okay?
I'll get it.
Come over and meet my dad.
Tell him you love me
and want to marry me.
How much time do you need?
T-Two months.
I didn't get the job.
I'm a big failure.
So glad you got the job.
You haven't put on
your hearing aid.
Can you ride a bike?
Then you've got a job already.
Do delivery runs at night.
Job hunt during the day.
You're a great guy.
Got all the info on him.
He's a nice guy.
Was supposed to get married.
But didn't turn up at his wedding.
He's been missing since then.
I didn't do anything, sir.
They'll kill me.
Don't worry, brother.
I'll kill them all and escape
in a few days.
I'll help you get out too.
Once I get out of here...
I won't spare anyone who wronged me.
I'll settle every score.
When I came across the news
this morning
I realised there's been a mistake.
I knew he wasn't Shadhin.
I tried to get in touch
with your department.
But no one answered my calls.
What are you talking about?
Who is he then?
- Moni.
- Sir.
I was posted at the border in 2005.
I busted a gold smuggling racket there.
These are the guys I caught.
Ma'am.
The most critical piece
of information is...
we found out Shadhin's real name.
Brother.
What's your name?
Mikhail.
Mikhail.
Shadhin.
You gave up your life for me.
I, Mikhail, will avenge your death.
- Most-wanted Mikhail?
- Yes.
Most-wanted terrorist, Mikhail.
We've been hunting him
for the last 17 years.
What's interesting is
he was in our custody all along.
Different name.
Different identity.
All the gold from Bangladesh Bank
has been stolen.
- What?
- What?
One team attacked the channel office.
The other robbed the bank.
Let's go, Shundori.
Let's play another game.
He's a genius.
One one hand, he looted the bank.
On the other,
he took revenge for Shadhin's death.
Unbelievable!
Please pick up the phone.
I can't take it.
Please.
Sir.
What the hell is going on?
Bangladesh Bank has been robbed?
What's worse is he's escaped.
He...
Who is "he"?
Most...
Most-wanted terrorist, Mikhail.
What?
He'll destroy the whole country.
Sir?
Sir.
Make sure this stays between us.
We have to handle this.
Or people will lose faith in us.
We have to catch Mikhail.
No matter where he is...
we will get him.
I will see this to the end.
I will, at any cost.
Boss.
We dug the tunnel to loot the bank.
But Mikhail's men got to it
before we did.
Only you, your manager and I
knew about it.
One of us leaked the plan.
I've handled thousands of buggers
like you.
I didn't tell anyone.
I didn't do anything, Masud.
Please believe me.
Masud.
I didn't do anything--
My ear...
My ear...
I have no mercy...
for traitors.
I have no mercy...
- For traitors!
- For traitors!
I have no mercy...
- For traitors!
- For traitors!
Mikhail.
That's my money.
No one can take it from me.
I'll put holes in you.
You'll be done for.
I am Masud.
Masud of "Surongo".

Here you go.
Check on the costumes.
- Excuse me, please.
- Watch out.
Let me know if you have any guests.
Bro.
I've been holding it in forever.
Now it's pouring.
And here all I can see
are dark clouds.
Why?
I'm interviewing a minister
for the first time.
The guy's throwing such tantrums.
He wants to have biryani
without potatoes.
- Really?
- Yes.
- Wish me luck.
- All the best.
Hurry up and get ready.
We're getting late, Arif.
Bring the minister.
On it.
Mic him.
What's the noise?
Sir, we're ready.
Sir is not ready yet.
Hold it closer.
- Touch up here.
- Yes, sir.
Sir, we're running late.
Please wait.
We need more time.
You're a good makeup artist.
Thank you.
This way, sir.
- So, Mr. Anchor.
- Yes, sir?
What's the topic of discussion?
The role of your ministry.
The power of youth in bringing change
and domestic violence.
- You know how the country--
- Enough!
Shut up and sit down.
A diva is in town to turn heads.
Hold your breath, folks!
Big round of applause!
Wait and watch.
Because the diva
is off to her lover's abode.
Big round of applause!
Get ready.
The show's about to begin!
Applause!
Dear viewers.
Live in the studio...
is the Minister of Power
and Energy, Mahatab Hussain.
- Sir, how are you?
- I'm fine, thanks to the people.
How does Bangladesh fare
in the global nuclear race?
Bangladesh's position is fantastic,
wonderful and unprecedented.
That's why...
We're tirelessly working towards
making more progress.
In the next few years...
Bangladesh will establish itself
as the top nuclear power.
Where are you going?
The last administration
wasn't bothered about all this.
They were too busy
robbing and scamming the citizens.
And investing abroad.
Weren't they?
We strongly believe,
the new administration
will take Bangladesh ahead
in the nuclear power sector.
So how is the country
at the moment?
Let's begin...
the destruction!
Welcome to the show!
Attention, everyone!
You're here to see her tricks.
Mind your own business.
And mind your pockets.
I'm not responsible if you get robbed.
Applause!
Our diva has impressed everyone
at her in-laws' place.
Doing somersaults for everyone.
Applause!
POLICE
It's bad news.
But breaking news.
Channel Bangla's office
has been attacked.
You'll run the breaking news.
It's special bulletin.
Send two reporters to the spot
right now.
Go for it!
Go! Go!
Just in!
Channel Bangla's office...
has been attacked by a few masked men.
Hello, hello, hello.
Please put your phones in this bag.
An armed group
has stormed the news office.
And is holding the reporters hostage.
We're trying to get an update...
Minister of Power and Energy
was shot during live broadcast.
The assailant revealed his face
on camera.
And threatened to cause destruction.
Ambulance and fire service vans
have arrived at the scene.
Stay with us.
We're bringing you the news live.
Stay tuned for live updates.
- Inspector General.
- Ma'am.
What the hell is going on?
What kind of lawlessness is this?
Who's he?
What does he want?
Sir, the force is ready.
- We're working on it.
- Work harder.
The whole country is in shock.
Everyone is on edge.
It's live on every news channel.
We don't know if the minister
has really been killed.
Or how many
are being held hostage.
But we have deployed
the police forces.
The situation will soon
be under control.
Why didn't we have any intel on this?
They attacked without warning.
No one has claimed responsibility.
Any word from inside?
Penetration is impossible.
It's a hostage situation.
Hey, weatherman.
Hey!
- What's up?
- Sir.
How's the weather now?
Terrifying.
You have to inform the people.
Go tell them!
Boss, he'll piss his pants.
He's freaked out.
- Hey.
- Boss.
- You report it.
- Okay.
- Hey.
- Come on.
Go live!
Yes, sir.
- No funny business.
- I'm afraid of guns.
Hey, idiot!
Wear your mask.
Bloody idiot!
Right.
Hey, go on air.
Dear viewers.
It's time for another weather update.
The skies are overcast
with impending danger.
Disaster is looming over the nation.
So all the stations...
Sorry.
All police stations are on red alert.
A level-10 warning has been issued.
Citizens are strongly advised...
...to stay indoors.
That's it for the weather today.
For more news updates...
...keep watching Channel Bangla.
All eyes are on Channel Bangla
right now.
Everyone wants answers.
- Do something.
- Sir.
-Track back the footage of the bus.
- Right, sir.
When and where did it come from?
Who were picked up?
How many criminals?
How many hostages?
I want every single detail
within 30 minutes.
Got it?
- Sir!
- Sir!
Check the footage from this camera.
Show me the other angle.
Play it slowly.
Go to camera eight.
Breaking news!
We've taken over
Channel Bangla's office.
Look who's eating
the minister's biryani.
We've got guns and bombs.
Cooperate with us otherwise--
Otherwise?
What then?
You'll shoot us?
Go ahead.
You'll have to kill me
before you touch my employees.
Mind it!
This is Channel Bangla.
Unstoppable Bangladesh.
Sir!
Sir.
Who are you?
Me?
CEO Mashrur.
Channel Bangla.
Unstoppable Bangladesh.
Take off his pants.
Mr. CEO.
Go back to your place.
Or else we'll take off
your underwear too.
With what you've got down there...
you won't be able to
show your face in public.
Come on, go back.
From now on, this is a prison.
And I'm the jailor.
If I say stand, you stand.
If I say sit, you sit.
- And if I say pee?
- I will pee.
Brilliant!
I need to pee
or I'll wet my pants.
Boss.
Go.
Mark his face.
And run it through the system.
Get me all the details on him.
I want every single f--king detail.
Hey, stupid!
- Stupid idiot!
- Sir, sir, sir...
- Get out of here.
- Sorry, sorry.
Come with me.
- What were you doing?
- Please sir.
- Sir, please.
- You've crossed all limits.
- Shut up.
- Please let us go.
- Come on!
- Hey!
- Shut up!
- Boss.
These two were making out
in the bathroom.
I swear to God!
I don't work here.
I'm a visitor.
I was here to surprise my girlfriend.
But...
I got surprised.
It's not his fault.
It's my fault.
I called him here.
I'm so sorry.
You're an outsider.
You should be dating someone else.
Not a girl from this office.
Start praying.
Sir?
- Open your mouth!
- Sir...
Sir, please.
No, no, no!
Please don't kill him.
Please...
Everybody be alert.
The special forces have surrounded you
from all sides.
Snipers have been positioned
on all exit points.
Please surrender.
We are ready to negotiate.
Let's talk.
What are your demands?
We're willing to negotiate with you.
I'm requesting you again.
Negotiation...
Please surrender.
Hey, CEO.
Where's the live studio?
Down the hall.
Hey, come on.
Time to go live.
We'll take action
in the next five minutes.
Sir, they're broadcasting live.
What?
Sir, they're live!
- Sajid, let's go.
- Move it fast.
This way, ma'am.
Here, sir.
Hello, hello, hello.
Mic testing.
Hello!
Is the audio clear?
This way.
Negotiate... Negotiate...
Want to negotiate?
Negotiation...
I see.
Okay, fine.
Let's negotiate.
Do something.
Send the Minister of Religious Affairs.
- Mom.
- Hmm?
Why don't you take your meds?
No.
This won't work.
He's in charge of religious affairs.
He'll be able to handle the situation.
Send the IGP too.
But...
Why the IGP?
He must be very busy.
The former IGP will do.
Send him.
What the...
You're retired.
Why do you have to go?
They need Rafiqullah.
No one else can negotiate
with them.
Everyone knows that.
If I don't call the channel head,
he might mind.
Baby, look.
They attacked my channel office.
Yes!
They attacked my office.
What the f--k!
Why are you happy about it?
We'll get TRPs.
It will be the number one channel
of Bangladesh.
Boss, how about a journalist?
Right, right, right.
Send a journalist too.
A top-notch one.
Someone who's got brains.
They have to match wits with me.
You're smoking on live TV.
Statutory warning.
Smoking is injurious to health.
You have one hour.
If you don't fulfill my demands
in an hour
I'll wreak havoc in the country.
Cut!
It's not possible.
Hello.
Get this under control
as soon as possible.
Let me show you a sample.
- Sample?
- What sample?
Boom!
Get ready, everyone.
Boys!
I need the bomb disposal unit active!
Fast!
Everybody, stay alert!
There's been a bomb blast
in front of Channel Bangla office.
We don't know the number
of fatalities or extent of damage yet.
We'll update you soon.
Impossible!
Call everyone.
It's urgent.
You can't go in.
- It's an emergency.
- You can't go.
- Did you watch the news?
- I did.
Channel Bangla's office
has been attacked.
The kidnapper wants to speak to sir.
Sir spends this time
with his mom every day.
What?
Want to say something?
Try to get some sleep.
You can resolve the matter.
I handle
the Ministry of Religious Affairs.
Why should I talk to--
Hello?
Hello?
Sir?
Leader is calling.
I'll talk to you later.
Hold this.
He's on a call.
Hello.
Why do I have to go?
No, no, no.
I'm the owner of the channel.
Why should I negotiate?
Impossible!
What is all this?
What the hell is going on?
What's with this live?
Worthless!
Disgusting!
Back when I was the IGP
I wiped out all the terrorism
from our country.
And what are you doing?
We have your records in our file.
- Hello, sir.
- Hello.
Have a seat.
So, Minister?
You're the youth of the nation.
You're supposed to resolve issues
in an instant.
But here you are.
Unable to do anything.
Please sit.
Leader, don't worry.
I'll handle it.
Sir.
I see.
He wants to negotiate in person.
Okay, sir.
Let's see what fate has in store.
Who will run the show?
Who will be the reporter?
I know a presenter.
Her name is Maria.
She's a beauty.
And there's Sonali.
She is tall.
An absolute stunner.
Nice.
You think he'll drop the gun
when he sees her?
Sorry, sir.
- Go on.
- Faiz.
Why are you quiet?
This is your field of expertise.
I know someone.
But she has always spoken
against the government.
Saira Ali.
Not her.
She's extremely insolent.
We need a journalist like her
to deal with a dangerous criminal.
She'll be the best.
Okay, fine.
Call her.
There's a problem.
What problem?
She won't come if I call her.
It would be better if you call her.
Hello.
Is this Saira Ali?
Yes, speaking.
Why aren't they letting go
of my wife?
Saira!
Saira, come fast.
See what's happening.
Take a look.
Where are you going?
Ministry of Home Affairs.
You're not going anywhere
in this situation.
Mom, I have to go.
It's urgent.
I said no.
Mom, I'll be fine.
Get up.
- Why?
- Get up fast.
What's wrong?
Listen.
Don't worry.
Everything will be fine.
Bye.
I don't want to lose you.
Bye.
Godspeed.
What do you want me to say?
I just want my son back.
- May I?
- Come in, Saira.
Yes, please.
Thanks for your quick response.
Sit down, please.
You probably know everything
by now.
Only you can rescue us
from this situation.
Whatever's happened...
The attack in the news office...
It's very unfortunate.
But the thing is I have...
I have quit journalism.
Sometimes you have to come back.
We need you, Saira.
Bangladesh needs your help.
My dear.
Look.
I'll offer special prayers for you
if you agree to do this.
I'll go in to negotiate.
Thank you.
But not for you.
I'll do it for the hostages.
Saira.
You're a saviour.
It's all up to you now.
What are you saying?
You're the one in power.
We're all just puppets.
Sometimes we're used
to cover up the truth.
Sometimes to mislead the public.
And sometimes to get you
out of trouble.
Okay.
Let's hope for the best.
Hundreds of people are waiting
for their loved ones.
The country is waiting to see
the outcome.
All police units have joined hands
with the special forces.
Stay tuned for the latest update.
Sir.
Bayajid, proceed.
Why aren't we taking any action?
Sir, we're always ready for action.
But our main focus
is the lives of the hostages.
There are many people inside.
We have to get them out safe.
Go inside and try to negotiate
with them.
So that we can enter the building.
Disgusting.
We'll divide you into three teams.
First, Saira ma'am.
Second, both of you.
Finally, sir, you.
Fahad, give them the vests.
At any cost,
we must ensure their security.
Mom.
Yes.
My phone will be off.
Why?
I need your prayers.
Why will your phone be off?
You'll find out soon.
I'm very worried.
Come on.
Saira, you're first person going in.
Talk to them
and try to convince them.
Negotiate with them.
And yes.
Keep this pen.
Keep it with you.
- I'm placing it here.
- Yeah.
Fahad.
Okay.
Best of luck.
Boss.
Everything is under control.
Our men are in position.
No one can enter the building.
Good.
My inhaler...
Please...
Please, please, please.
My inhaler...
- Take it.
- Please give it back.
Please sir.
Here it is.
- Here.
- Please, please, please.
Please give the inhaler
back to him.
Top journalist.
No.
I'm a retired journalist.
Then what are you doing here?
Come on, brother.
- Hey, baldy!
- Give him the inhaler.
Or he'll die.
- I can't breath.
- He'll die anyway.
His time is over.
But time's not up yet.
You gave us time.
I'm here.
The others are waiting outside.
Please give back his inhaler.
Please.
And let them go, please.
Please.
Cool down.
Let's talk.
Thank God!
Thanks, brother.
Hey.
Take off the vest and hidden device.
Done.
Trying to act smart?
Motherf--kers!
I'll kill everyone.
Don't act smart.
Now tell me.
Is Mr. Mahatab still alive?
Athena.
Yes, boss.
Check if he's popped off.
Okay, boss.
Still alive.
But he's bleeding a lot.
I haven't been to a funeral in years.
You're not supposed to either.
You're supposed to negotiate, right?
Please get him out of here.
He needs to be taken
to a hospital.
And let them all go.
There are children.
They're innocent.
Making demands?
You think this is a joke?
No.
Not demands.
Human rights.
B---h talks too much.
- Khalid.
- Yes, boss.
Let go of these pawns.
And let the real players in.
Let everyone go.
Please listen to me.
Don't threaten them.
They're very scared.
I don't make empty threats.
I do not make empty threats.
I'm serious.
Very serious.
Please help.
Ambulance.
Take off the vests
and get ready.
We're going live.
Live?
Is this a joke?
Anything can happen.
It'll be a disaster.
- Faiz.
- Yeah.
Why are we here?
We're here to negotiate.
Not take part in some talk show.
Right?
You're right.
Saira, ask him to get up.
Let's hear what he wants
so that we can negotiate.
The minister is here too.
Hey, put it down.
Do you know who I am?
The former IGP.
Shut up!
We're not going live.
We're here to negotiate.
Let's do it.
Negotiation, conclusion...
Everything will happen live.
Nothing in private.
Everything will be out in the open.
The public has the right
to know everything.
Human rights.
Disgusting!
Hey, IGP.
Hush!
Athena.
Yes, boss.
Bring them to the set in five minutes.
Okay.
Sir.
Did you watch
the Channel Bangla news?
- What happened?
- Their office has been attacked.
Can't you serve some salad
with the food?
- I'll get it tomorrow.
- Make sure you do.
Okay.
Sir.
Dear Bangladesh.
I'm Saira Ali reporting live.
This live is for me.
For you.
For all of us.
It's a new experience.
Because we've never come across
such a live broadcast.
I know you all are eagerly waiting.
Joining us live is...
The former Home Minister.
The Minister of Religious Affairs,
Monayem Choudhury.
Former Inspector General, Rafiqullah.
Channel Bangla's owner, Faiz Karim.
And our main guest...
Excuse me.
Please take your seat.
We're on air.
Hey, channel owner.
- Get up. Move.
- What?
Where will I sit?
Get him a chair.
- Very good.
- Serves him right.
Being a channel owner,
I shouldn't sit here.
I suggest...
I think...
we should switch seats, IGP.
Stop talking and sit down.
Asking the IGP to sit
on a cheap chair?
You sit on it.
You're retired.
Don't forget I own the channel.
- Shut up--
- You shut up!
Hey!
Sit down!
He should keep standing.
Please start.
Why did you the attack
the news office?
We want to establish
a proper justice system.
Sorry?
Establish justice system?
By breaking the law?
The same philosophy
as taking antibiotics.
Antibiotics use bacteria
to kill bacteria in the body.
Similarly, we are using evil
to fight evil like you.
So you're being evil?
Okay.
Good analogy.
But what do you want?
Why are you holding
50 employees hostage?
They're not bacteria, after all.
Besides, you've brutally
shot the minister.
All the people of Bangladesh
are watching you live.
So please clarify.
My dear.
I'm the Minister of Religious Affairs.
I deal with religious issues.
I had an important meeting today.
With
the National Moon Sighting Committee.
I'm here
because this is equally important.
But I don't think
I'm really needed here.
I'll pray for you
if you let me leave.
Let me get back to my work.
Besides, it's quite packed in here.
Come, sit.
Take my seat.
- Sit.
- Thank you.
Old man!
Take your seat.
Come on.
Sit down.
- I don't--
- I'll come back to you later.
First, you enlighten us.
What led you
to attack the news office?
And why?
Please tell us.
The floor is yours.
If you want to know the reason...
you have to know Shadhin.
Check the name in the database
right now.
Pull up his record.
- Fast, fast, fast!
- Right away, sir.
Sir, sir, sir...
We have to go back eight years.
When Shadhin's story began.
Why are you here so late?
We'll meet in the morning.
Will you come outside
or should I come in?
Okay, fine.
I'll be right there.
We need to talk.
But not here.
No, let's talk here.
- Your dad?
- Dad?
Dad's sleeping.
Why weren't you answering my calls?
The interview didn't go well?
You could've just told me.
What do I say?
I appeared for 22 interviews.
All of them went well
but didn't get the job.
Why don't you tell your dad?
He's a famous teacher.
Maybe--
He won't pull any favours for me.
I told him a lot of times
but he didn't budge.
He's very stubborn.
What should I do?
My parents are looking for a groom.
Come over and meet my dad.
Tell him you love me
and want to marry me.
Oh my God!
I can't meet your dad.
I'm scared of him.
Then why are you dating me?
You will meet Dad.
And tell him...
you'll find a job in two months
and get married to me.
What the hell!
I won't get a job so quick.
Do something.
You should...
get married to the guy
they choose for you.
Okay.
I'll get married to some other guy.
You stay at home.
I'll send the invitation card.
You and your dad
come to the wedding.
Hey, wait...
Don't be mad at me.
I can't live without you.
I've lost my mother.
Can't find a job.
You're all I have.
Why are you so naive?
I've always been like this.
That's why I love you so much.
Bye.
Come, I'll drop you home.
Really?
Won't you feel scared
to return alone?
Why?
Stay on the phone with me.
Right!
Dad.
This is Shadhin.
- Hello.
- Hello.
I want to talk to him alone.
Pass me the striker.
Sure.
Leave us alone.
I'll take it from here.
- Okay.
- Your turn.
Go for it.
Talk.
- About what?
- Just talk.
- Come on, play.
- Yeah.
You know carrom is like life?
Yes.
You can easily score the red puck.
But following it up with another puck
is the hard part.
- Do you get it?
- Yes.
Same with love.
It's easy to fall for someone.
But building a home with them
is the challenge.
- Hit the black puck.
- Yeah.
You know Nishad is my only daughter.
How will you provide for her?
You'll have to find a job.
Yes, I will find a job.
- What?
- I...
- I'll get a job.
- I see. Tell me.
How much time do you need?
T-Two... Two months.
Good.
But if you can't...
I'll marry her off to someone else.
- Hello.
- Hello.
Listen up.
He'll get settled
in two months.
Now serve us lunch.
I haven't cooked.
No lunch?
No.
The stove is not working.
I'll get going.
Okay.
I'm sure he'll find a job
in two months.
Even two years isn't enough
for him to get a job.
You are always so angry.
He came home for the first time.
Call me.
Okay.
Coming.
Let him get a job first.
One month went by in a flash.
There were no jobs in the market.
You need money or connections
to land a job.
I would've got a job
if you'd helped.
You just had to make one call.
Why should I call anyone?
Why did I pay for your studies then?
Having a degree
doesn't guarantee a job.
It means nothing without connections.
I would've got a job
if I had connections.
How did I get a job
without any connections?
How do I make you understand?
- Bloody hell!
- Break everything!
You can't convince me.
God knows
how Mom lived with you.
Thank God she's dead!
Right!
That's all you can do.
You can only hit me
where it hurts the most.
Listen.
If you can make it on your own...
nothing is better than that.
Trust me.
Hey.
Have your food.
I am sorry.
Take a bite.
Eat.
I am sorry too.
I had only one month left.
Didn't know what to do.
So I came to Dhaka
with my bag full of dreams.
Shadhin.
You're my mentor's son.
You're like a brother to me.
Why will you waste money
staying at a hotel?
I've got a room.
You'll put up here.
It's a little hot during the day.
But cool at night.
You can spend time
watching the cars go by.
Come inside.
Take a look.
This is your room.
I've got some stuff for my business.
There's a computer too.
You can use it for work.
- Do you like the room?
- Yes.
- Let me know if you need anything.
- Okay.
Sir.
You've scored well.
But this...
...is your first job interview.
What are your ideas about
ads for the product?
Sir, it's all about selling a brand
and making people
fall in love with it.
Very good.
Great interview.
I'm impressed.
I'm confident you'll get the job.
I told Nishad
I nailed the interview.
I would get a job for sure.
I kept waiting
for the official call and mail.
And I finally got it.
Check your mail.
Your job is confirmed.
Joining is tomorrow.
What?
Check your email.
I'll check right away.
Hello.
Hello.
Nishad, I got the job.
No one can stop us
from getting married.
Really?
Dad!
Shadhin has landed the job.
What?
Shadhin got the job.
Hello, Dad.
Hello.
I got the job.
Really?
Yes, Dad.
Yes, finally.
I got the job!
I got the job!
I got the job!
No one can beat me now.
I got dressed
and left for my new office.
You'll have to pay.
- Not possible without money.
- I'm Shadhin.
- Today's my joining date.
- Hold on a minute.
- You're Shadhin?
- Yes.
Wait.
Sir.
- Hello, sir.
- Hello.
Today's my joining date.
Very unfortunate.
That mail wasn't for you.
Someone else got the job.
The typist sent you the mail
by mistake.
Very unfortunate!
So, Shadhin?
How was your first day at work?
What happened?
- Get out!
- I beg you.
- Security!
- I've already informed my family.
- Throw him out!
- I'm ready to do anything.
- What the hell!
- I really need the job.
- Stop the drama!
- Please don't do this to me.
Hey, careful.
- I need the job.
- Get lost!
I'll handle it.
I didn't get the job.
What?
Sent you the mail by mistake?
You did get the job.
But boss took a bribe
and gave it to someone else.
Money speaks in this city.
I passed the interview.
I was qualified.
Still, they didn't give me the job.
Do you know any place
where I can get a job?
Yes.
Around Gulshan and Banani.
A job might come your way
if you go there.
A manager's job.
Or a personal secretary.
Some odd job.
You're quite handsome.
You'll land a job easily.
Bro.
Can I get a part-time job?
Any work would do.
Guard's duty.
Hotel job.
Rubbish!
Why would you work as a guard?
- Can you ride a bike?
- Yes.
Then you've got a job already.
Do delivery runs at night.
Job hunt during the day.
Bro.
You're a great guy.
Sir.
This sounds like a personal vendetta.
I was going crazy.
What would I tell my dad?
How would I face Nishad?
No problem at all.
Keep it here.
Please have some.
It's Shadhin.
Hello.
Hello...
Listen...
I have something to tell you.
Who is it?
- It's Shadhin.
- What?
- Shadhin.
- Let me talk to him.
Listen--
How are you?
Uncle...
I didn't get the job.
We've fixed your wedding
for next week.
What are you saying?
But I'll find a job soon.
Everything's fine.
You there?
Uncle--
No.
Don't worry.
You haven't put on
your hearing aid.
What are even talking about?
Hello.
Your dad is here.
I'll make dinner.
They're having sweets.
- Forgot the hearing aid.
- Talk later.
Bye.
Please have it.
I started lying from then on.
I lied so often...
that it became a habit.
Hello.
Where are you?
Had lunch?
Yeah, done.
Where are you?
Why so much traffic?
Sound of traffic?
I am at the balcony so...
Where's your office?
It's in Motijheel.
The head office is here.
I work at the head office.
Have you given an interview?
I've been in Dhaka for a long time.
Don't think I can survive much longer.
Please, sir.
You can do anything if you want.
You have a lot of connections.
I'm in a meeting.
Please help me get a job.
Hello.
Where are you?
I'm in office.
What are you doing?
Having lunch.
What are you having?
For lunch?
Chowmein, fried rice,
a lot of other dishes.
Chowmein?
Wish I was there with you.
I would've cooked for you.
You wouldn't have to eat chowmein.
Hello.
Where are you?
Why aren't you answering your phone?
I've been on night shift
for the last few days.
But why?
You know...
I'll have to take a long leave.
That's why
I'm working extra hours.
Come down a few days earlier.
We're getting married next week.
None of this would've happened
if you hadn't got the job.
You know, Mom and Dad
are so happy.
I started living in delusion.
I convinced myself...
that I had a job.
That I went to office every day.
That I actually worked.
I know I won't get the job.
Everyone always says...
...it's a great interview.
But no one ever hires me.
- Thank you.
- You're hired.
- What did you say?
- You're hired.
Are you serious?
When can you join?
Sir.
I'll join soon after my wedding.
Okay, good luck for your wedding.
We'll see you soon.
Shadhin.
He's still sleeping.
Shadhin!
You have a bus to catch.
It's your wedding tomorrow.
Don't you want to get married?
- Dozed off.
- Hurry up and get ready.
Why are we listening to this story?
For the twist in the tale.
Or people will get bored.
Why did you kill Harris?
I didn't kill anyone, sir.
It's routine police check.
Don't worry.
Check everyone.
Show me your face.
What's your name?
I am Shadhin.
Oh, you're Shadhin.
Come with us.
- Come on.
- Why?
We need to talk to you.
- I haven't done anything.
- We'll decide that.
Cover his face.
- Keep quiet!
- I haven't done anything.
Sir, should I inform
the local police station?
- Why?
- We nabbed him.
You still haven't learnt anything.
Get in the car.
Why did you kill Harris?
Why did you kill Harris?
I didn't kill anyone.
Give him the pill.
We did for two days.
Any more and he'll die.
Who hired you in the department?
- Get out!
- Please let me go.
My family's waiting for me.
It's my wedding.
- Please let me go.
- Look, kiddo.
For the last two days...
...you've been pretending.
But there's no use.
Stop playing innocent.
Even seasoned criminals
couldn't fool me.
I'm just an ordinary guy, sir.
I didn't kill anyone.
We'll have a press conference,
and case closed.
I am telling the truth, sir.
Believe me.
- You didn't kill Harris?
- I didn't, sir.
Please let me go.
- You didn't lie, right?
- I didn't, sir.
Listen to this audio.
My office is in Motijheel.
The head office is here.
I work at the head office.
Now watch this video.
You were in Gulshan.
Why did you lie?
You just said you didn't lie.
Why did you kill Harris?
What?
It was you who killed Harris?
It was never proven.
That's because you fled.
The cops couldn't arrest you.
Arrest?
Vanish!
I know this guy.
Tell us what happened.
They'll do the honours.
This bastard is just killing time.
If we don't take action
it'll be a disaster.
He's just playing.
I've called them here
to give us answers.
I'll come to them later.
First, you tell us.
Police took you into custody.
They beat you.
But didn't show
an arrest report?
Exactly.
- How is that possible?
- Impossible!
What about your friends and family?
Did no one go the police?
They didn't even know I was arrested.
Sir!
You've got it all wrong!
I didn't kill anyone!
I'm innocent!
Sir...
Nishad!
It's time, dear.
Where's your son, Shadhin?
- He hasn't been answering my calls.
- What?
- What will people say?
- I tried calling.
Your son has humiliated us.
He has ruined
my daughter's life!
So, an anonymous group of people
captured you?
Spot on.
But why?
Who were they?
Where did they take you?
I couldn't see anyone's face.
They always kept their faces covered.
Not a peep made it past
those walls.
One day, I heard...
Nishad killed herself.
Because she couldn't be
with someone else.
Wait, wait, wait.
You said you were in a secret place.
An iron cell.
No contact with the outside world.
Then how did...
...this news reach you?
Disgusting!
It's all made up.
I smell a conspiracy.
Bayajid, any update?
Thirty seconds.
Fantastic!
All the best, boys.
I strongly protest
this act of defamation.
And I strongly protest
the injustice done to me.
Sir.
- What the hell?
- What's going on?
Go in.
Move! Move!
Boss, they got in.
Take care of it.
Viewers.
It's time for a two-minute break.
Lots of surprises on the other side.
Get ready.
The game is afoot.
It's time for some action.
Shundori's husband is caught.
The cops have taken him
to the station and beaten him.
- Applause!
- Applause!
Dear viewers, today is a black day
in the history of Bangladesh.
By breaking the law and order
the country's future
is put in danger
by young people like Shadhin.
Hey!
Shoot them.
Quiet!
Shoot them right in the head.
Blow their brains out.
Shoot them!
Bayajid, come in.
Bayajid, any update?
We're in trouble.
Abort!
Come back! Stop!
Stop!
Mission abort!
Saira.
Put the gun down.
There are a lot of hostages here.
Their lives are very important.
- Stand down.
- Boss.
Ad break is over in 30 seconds.
Gun down!
Saira, please.
Go back.
Back, back, back!
Go back!
Let's finish
the live telecast properly.
Come on.
Move!
- Need to use the data centre.
- Please sign.
No one is answering their phone.
Sir, please answer the phone.
Dear viewers, we're back
after the break to the discussion.
Shadhin, I had asked you a question
before we went on the break.
While you were locked up
in the so-called iron cell
how did you find out
about Nishad's death?
How did I find out?
How did I find out?
No room for the new prisoner
in the cell.
Which cell should we put him in?
You'll end up like him
if you don't confess by tomorrow.
Come on, spit it out!
Admit you killed Harris.
I don't know Harris, sir.
I don't know Harris.
Please don't beat me.
Don't beat me.
I will die.
Please don't beat me.
I will die.
Allah!
Hey, who are you?
You sound like a good guy.
Who are you?
I-I am Shadhin.
I'm Shadhin.
I didn't kill anyone.
They're hurting me a lot.
They're hurting me.
Once I get out of here...
...I will kill them all.
They've ruined my life.
I'll settle every score.
I'll finish them off.
Hit him.
Stop.
Laptop.
Look.
We've killed your father.
See for yourself.
We killed him without mercy.
Confess or you won't be able to
see his body.
One more thing.
Your girlfriend killed herself.
Confess or
you won't even see their bodies.
Come on, eat.
You have two days.
Confess or we'll kill you too.
Move.
What happened after that?
After that...
Destruction!
Send security forces.
Then we planned to destroy everything.
That's the end of my story.
Now I have a question
for three of them.
Tell me.
Answer me.
Why me?
I was innocent.
This is not the time
to remain silent, Honorable Minister.
What is Iron Cell?
Who is imprisoned here?
And why?
We also need to find out
what this "Iron Cell" is.
Disgusting!
Please try to understand my question.
Was he unlawfully detained?
Question doesn't arise.
Does that mean
he's making all this up?
Of course, he is.
I have investigated the case myself.
- There's no such thing.
- I'll come back to Mr. Rafiqullah.
My next question
is for Mr. Faiz Karim.
After the murder of JW Harris
international media had repeatedly
raised the point.
A certain powerful circle
was unhappy with Harris.
And it was
an absolute personal grudge.
Why did you try to frame
an innocent in your report?
Excuse me.
We're out of time.
I have to pray.
Can someone get me a prayer mat?
Old man!
Sit down.
Give her a straight answer.
Time stops in prison.
Pray for as long as you want.
Hey, you!
Are you threatening me with prison?
I'm not threatening you, old man.
Just giving you
some information in advance.
Sit.
What took you so long?
Okay, fine.
Let's come to the point.
We have information
about disappearances.
And might I add,
we have a lot of them.
How do you justify the numbers
as the former Home Minister?
Every discussion
has a right place.
Don't think this is the right place
for any important discussion.
This is the right place, sir.
Let me tell you the number
of live viewers.
The number is 10,57,93,557.
We've received more than
one crore comments.
This live has received the most number
of views, comments and reactions.
Honourable Minister.
Please clarify.
Bangladesh wants to know.
Miss Saira.
They won't answer your question
so easily.
What I'm about to do right now...
will make them answer your question
even before you ask them.
Hey!
Set it up.
Oh no!
Mom!
This is not right.
My mother is unwell.
My mother won't survive
without oxygen, Shadhin.
- Please!
- Old man!
Locate where the live
is being transmitted from.
Okay, sir.
Her survival is in your hands.
Keep talking and she'll live.
Come on, begin.
Honorable Minister,
please don't be quiet.
Your silence will cost you.
Such drama!
Sir.
My chest hurts.
I have a heart disease.
Sir, they are streaming it live
from the channel.
Audio has been recorded before.
They have matched
the video later.
They're using VPN.
The location shows Nigeria.
Damn it!
Come on, old man.
No pointing pretending here.
There are no doctors.
Please begin.
Don't waste more time.
Please answer my question.
There, he's fine now.
The thief has been caught.
No way to escape.
The thief is caught.
Shundori, let's go.
Game over.
The person responsible
for all this...
...is Amjad Mansoor and his son,
Armaan Mansoor.
Which Amjad Mansoor?
Industrialist Amjad Mansoor?
Give her the oxygen, please.
Finally, he's talking.
Hey!
Ask them to give her oxygen.
Put the oxygen mask on.
Please tell us the entire truth.
Will you excuse me?
I have to use the washroom.
Sure, sure, sure.
Where is Armaan?
Sir, your dad is calling.
Sir.
The foreign delegate is waiting
for you.
It's Harris.
Sir, he's here.
Sir!
Sir, sir, sir.
Sir!
Sir! Sir!
Never disturb a man...
while he is having fun.
Okay, baby?
Yes, sir.
Let go of me!
Let me go!
- Go look for Armaan.
- Okay, sir.
Never answers his phone.
What's your problem, son?
I've been calling you
for the last couple of hours.
You don't answer.
Neither do you call back.
What's going on?
Why are you all sweaty?
What were you doing?
Exercise.
I know all about it.
Kiddo.
Listen to me.
We have an important meeting.
Go and change.
Hurry up.
Young man,
you shouldn't be doing that.
Read the contract for me.
It's deal worth two billion.
It's all good.
Where is he?
He went to the washroom.
He's taking too long.
Where the hell is he?
- Was he in a black suit?
- Yes, he's a foreigner.
F--k!
- What happened?
- F--k!
What are you looking at?
Who are you, motherf--ker?
What does that mean?
Motherf--ker!
- What's wrong?
- F--k!
What happened?
Who do you think you are?
F--k!
F--k! F--k! F--k!
I'm f--king love it!
F--k!
Good for health.
Bloody swine!
What have you done?
Where's the a--hole?
Sent him abroad.
Why did he have to murder
a foreigner?
Disgusting!
My naive son
has made a small mistake.
This is a easy matter for you.
What do you want
to make it go away?
Need 500 crores.
Done.
Rafiqullah.
You have no idea
what you're agreeing to.
We want 500 crores per head.
This is nothing compared
to your son's life.
Monayem.
I've always sponsored
your election campaigns.
Given you everything
you ever needed.
Just because my son
made a small mistake
I'm stuck in this problem.
And you're taking advantage
of the situation.
- That's why...
- Hey.
That's why he called us here
to meet you.
I'll take care of the law and order.
I'll solve your problem.
Sir will supervise everything.
He's the Home Minister.
His ministry will tackle everything.
And his channel
will run the information we want.
I'll tell Faiz to ensure the public
forgets about this incident.
- What say, Faiz?
- Yes, I'll look into it.
There you go.
So...
Per head... 500 crores.
And 1000 crores for sir.
Okay?
Yes, 1000 crores.
Done?
Done.
Hello, sir.
Yes, Rafiqullah.
Whats the matter?
Sir.
The international media
is going berserk about Harris.
We are in trouble.
We've already arrested one person.
He'll confess soon.
He's been spotted in Gulshan
regularly before the date of crime.
We have CCTV footage
and other supporting info.
We've taken the lead.
Why did you kill Harris?
I didn't kill anyone, sir.
I didn't kill...
I want every detail on this guy.
Where does he go? What does he do?
Every little detail.
On it, sir.
Sir, I'm ADC Kamrun.
I have something to say.
Tell me.
Our prime suspect has actually
not committed the murder.
I have asked around
in his neighbourhood.
He's a very nice guy.
No one has anything bad
to say about him.
His father used to be
a school headmaster.
I got a new information.
What?
The guy was supposed to get married.
But he didn't show up
for his wedding.
He's been missing since then.
Please give me a week, sir.
I'll arrest everyone involved
and solve the case.
Shut up!
Mr. Know-it-all!
- Get lost!
- Go!
Disgusting!
Why have you given him
such a sensitive case?
Transfer him.
I'll take care of it.
Don't worry.
I'll transfer him
out of Dhaka.
But sir...
The situation is going out
of control.
That guy is not talking at all.
A confession is out of question.
Problem is
we haven't arrested him officially.
We can't keep him in our custody
any longer.
If the information
is leaked to the media
the government will be in trouble.
One more thing.
The female journalist
from Channel Bangla
is troubling me a lot.
Disgusting, sir!
Please stop them.
- I'll look into it.
- Okay, sir.
- Shafiuddin.
- Sir.
I'm hearing good things about you.
I'm proud of you.
Thank you, sir.
The IG must have told you
about the guy...
He has to be taken to the Iron Cell.
Will it be the right thing to do
for such a small case?
If it were a small case
I wouldn't call you home.
Right, sir.
Amazing, Honourable Minister.
Amazing!
So you're admitting
that he didn't kill JW Harris.
Shadhin had nothing to do
with his death.
Old man!
Say it out loud.
"I admit it".
I admit it.
I can't believe it!
How can a minister do such a thing?
Disgusting!
Bloody rascal!
Hey!
I did all the dirty work alone?
You didn't do anything?
Didn't you take a bribe
of 500 crores?
Bloody B-----d!
- Mind your language!
- Shut up!
Don't forget...
I'm the Inspector General of Police.
Right, former IGP.
Why are you butting in?
- I'll give you a tight slap.
- Stop it!
Hey!
I'll knock all your teeth out.
Hey, IGP!
Hush!
Okay, okay.
You'll have plenty of time in jail.
Fight all you want.
Miss Saira, continue.
My next question is for Faiz Karim.
Why did you stop all the reporting
on Harris' murder?
I wanted to report on it.
But he stopped me.
- I wanted to--
- Bloody liar!
I stopped you from reporting?
And you were sucking your thumb?
Didn't you take 500 crores?
You did.
So did you.
I wasn't the only one.
Bloody swines!
B-----ds!
People are vandalising the properties
of corrupt politicians and tycoons.
Open the gate!
Open the damn gate!
Dismiss the officer immediately.
What?
I think I should go to the site.
Why do you have to go?
Things will go out of control
if I don't.
And I want to arrest them myself.
They have destroyed our lives.
As you can see,
it's total chaos out here.
The streets have turned into war zone.
Everyone's demanding strict action
against the corrupt officials.
Hey!
Tie them up
and hand them over to the police.
Yeah!
Come on!
What's wrong with you?
You can't do this
without a court order.
Of course, I can.
It's personal.
Because I am the law.
Tie them up!
I don't know if you remember.
But I once told you...
truth can never be hidden.
No matter how much you try
to cover it with lies
it always finds its way out.
You won't get too far
without my channel.
As a journalist,
it's my duty to speak for the people.
If you don't let me do it
I don't need this job.
And keep in mind.
Truth will force its way out
some day or the other.
Wait for that day.
Wait and watch.
Brilliant, Miss Saira.
That's why you're a top journalist.
Brilliant!
Thanks for the compliment.
Dear viewers,
truth has finally triumphed over lies.
We found out
Shadhin didn't tell us a story.
He laid bare the ugly reality
of our justice system.
Some corrupt, greedy
and cruel people got exposed.
They've been sweeping crimes
under the rug for way too long.
Their actions led to a murder.
And destroyed the life
of an innocent person like Shadhin.
But you can't escape karma.
That's why the culprits
were caught in their own trap.
We believe all politicians...
All law enforcement officers...
All media professionals
are not dishonest.
But people like Monayem Choudhury,
Rafiqullah and Faiz Karim...
give politics a bad name.
Bring disgrace to the police force.
And cause the media
to lose credibility.
We demand the three culprits
be brought to justice.
And face strict punishment
for their actions.
So that all those people
who suffered like Shadhin...
finally find some peace.
I'm Saira Ali,
signing off from today's live.
I'll see you again
in search of another truth.
- Shadhin!
- Shadhin!
Your team members...
disappeared into the crowd.
Why didn't you?
- Shadhin!
- Shadhin!
I'll surrender.
I'll turn myself in.
Shadhin.
The people of Bangladesh
have started loving you.
With thousands of people here...
it's impossible to arrest you.
- Shadhin!
- Shadhin!
- Shadhin!
- Shadhin!
I am truly free today.
Because I've exposed those
who wronged me.
I've unmasked them
right in front of the nation.
But...
I must admit I have sinned too.
I took the law into my own hands.
I should pay for it too.
I want every criminal to be punished.
Every sinner, brought to justice.
I want law and order to prevail.
That's why...
I will surrender to the police.
I have only one request.
Please don't stop them
from doing their duty.
One more thing.
Whenever you witness
injustice, crime or corruption
always raise your voice against it.
Because I'm not the only one
who's free.
You all are free.
This is a free country.
We all are free!
Arrest him.
Go.
Sir.
We're sure...
...the police will catch
JW Harris' killer soon.
That's all for today
on Saira's Search for Truth.
I'll see you again next week.
Stay safe.
Good night.
The female journalist
from Channel Bangla...
is troubling me a lot.
Disgusting, sir!
I'll look into it.
Why did you call so many times, Mom?
Some people captured Evan.
Who?
How would I know?
Who took him away, Mom?
I don't know.
What do you have to say
about these disappearances?
So many people have gone missing.
I'll call you later.
- Get in!
- Who the hell are you?
- Let go of me!
- Shut up and get in!
- Move it!
- Let me go!
Can you prove it?
Know anyone who's gone missing?
You?
Are you joking?
My brother has been missing
for the last three months.
I will find him, sir.
No matter what.
You're a responsible person.
I hope you find your brother.
I will be happy for you.
How dare you?
Why did you interview
the Home Minister?
Didn't I tell you it's all bogus?
It's not bogus.
I have all the evidence.
I have documents to prove it.
I beg you, sir.
Please...
Saira, listen.
There's no such thing.
How are you so sure?
I've been running this channel
for a long time.
Journalism has nothing to do
with your channel.
So overconfident?
I can make and break journalists
like you.
You won't get too far
without my channel.
You wouldn't be a journalist
if it wasn't for my channel.
I speak for the people.
It's my duty as a journalist.
If you don't let me do it...
...I don't need this job.
Saira.
I'm Shadhin.
I have some information
on your brother.
Your brother and I
were in the same cell.
I didn't do anything!
Help!
Sister!
Sister!
"Were"?
Confess.
I didn't do anything, sir.
Believe me.
I didn't do anything.
Confess before I lose it.
I didn't do anything.
Sir, please believe me...
They killed your brother.
They've brutally killed
many innocent people.
So we've decided to take revenge.
You can join us if you want.
Or you can turn us in to the police.
Here, take a look.
They are all involved in this crime.
Can you attack
Channel Bangla's office?
Why?
You have to hold them hostage
and unmask them
in front of the whole nation.
So that...
...they don't get off scot free.
Can you do it?
Shadhin.
What you did today...
Great job!
You're a real hero.
Villain.
Hello.
Hello, ma'am.
Shadhin got away.
He killed the cops and fled.
Please come to the home ministry.
What?
Get out of there fast.
Okay, on my way out.
Amjad sir has been caught.
What?
Attack all his properties and mills.
Take over all of them.
Okay.
Should we destroy them?
Yes.
What about his son?
I have locked him up.
- On his dad's orders?
- Yes.
We have to deal with him.
Did boss ask you
to keep him locked up?
What should I do with him?
Kill him.
Okay.
I'll hand him over to the cops.
Sir.
Sir?
Sir.
Sir, wake up.
Easy there.
Sir.
Sir.
Are you listening?
Sir.
It's all over.
They've burned down your house.
The police arrested your dad.
I am not at fault.
Your dad asked me
to lock you up.
You have to run from here.
Cigarette?
Hold on.
Here.
Here you go.
You can't stay here.
I will get you out of here.
Sir.
Get up.
Sir?
Sir.
Sir!
Sir-- Sir...
Bloody son of a b---h!
Want to hand me over to the cops?
I'm Amjad Mansoor's son!
Armaan f--king Mansoor!
What?
Dead?
F--k you!
Saira.
What's going on?
What does this guy want?
Shadhin?
- Are you sure?
- Hundred percent.
I saw the helmet cam footage
of the Special Force.
Shadhin shot them and fled.
I don't get it.
Are we sympathising
with the wrong person?
Sir.
- There's a big confusion.
- What is it?
The man we saw live
is not Shadhin.
He's someone else.
- What?
- Yes, sir.
I was the one who arrested Shadhin.
Then I found out
that he was innocent.
Why did you kill Harris?
I didn't do anything, sir.
I want every detail on this guy.
Where does he go? What does he do?
Every little detail.
On it, sir.
I want a detailed report.
Okay?
I'll get it.
Come over and meet my dad.
Tell him you love me
and want to marry me.
How much time do you need?
T-Two months.
I didn't get the job.
I'm a big failure.
So glad you got the job.
You haven't put on
your hearing aid.
Can you ride a bike?
Then you've got a job already.
Do delivery runs at night.
Job hunt during the day.
You're a great guy.
Got all the info on him.
He's a nice guy.
Was supposed to get married.
But didn't turn up at his wedding.
He's been missing since then.
I didn't do anything, sir.
They'll kill me.
Don't worry, brother.
I'll kill them all and escape
in a few days.
I'll help you get out too.
Once I get out of here...
I won't spare anyone who wronged me.
I'll settle every score.
When I came across the news
this morning
I realised there's been a mistake.
I knew he wasn't Shadhin.
I tried to get in touch
with your department.
But no one answered my calls.
What are you talking about?
Who is he then?
- Moni.
- Sir.
I was posted at the border in 2005.
I busted a gold smuggling racket there.
These are the guys I caught.
Ma'am.
The most critical piece
of information is...
we found out Shadhin's real name.
Brother.
What's your name?
Mikhail.
Mikhail.
Shadhin.
You gave up your life for me.
I, Mikhail, will avenge your death.
- Most-wanted Mikhail?
- Yes.
Most-wanted terrorist, Mikhail.
We've been hunting him
for the last 17 years.
What's interesting is
he was in our custody all along.
Different name.
Different identity.
All the gold from Bangladesh Bank
has been stolen.
- What?
- What?
One team attacked the channel office.
The other robbed the bank.
Let's go, Shundori.
Let's play another game.
He's a genius.
One one hand, he looted the bank.
On the other,
he took revenge for Shadhin's death.
Unbelievable!
Please pick up the phone.
I can't take it.
Please.
Sir.
What the hell is going on?
Bangladesh Bank has been robbed?
What's worse is he's escaped.
He...
Who is "he"?
Most...
Most-wanted terrorist, Mikhail.
What?
He'll destroy the whole country.
Sir?
Sir.
Make sure this stays between us.
We have to handle this.
Or people will lose faith in us.
We have to catch Mikhail.
No matter where he is...
we will get him.
I will see this to the end.
I will, at any cost.
Boss.
We dug the tunnel to loot the bank.
But Mikhail's men got to it
before we did.
Only you, your manager and I
knew about it.
One of us leaked the plan.
I've handled thousands of buggers
like you.
I didn't tell anyone.
I didn't do anything, Masud.
Please believe me.
Masud.
I didn't do anything--
My ear...
My ear...
I have no mercy...
for traitors.
I have no mercy...
- For traitors!
- For traitors!
I have no mercy...
- For traitors!
- For traitors!
Mikhail.
That's my money.
No one can take it from me.
I'll put holes in you.
You'll be done for.
I am Masud.
Masud of "Surongo".
