State of Siege: 26/11 (2020) s01e01 Episode Script

The Calm Before Storm

1
This cafe is an important target.
Our attacks will be unprecedented.
There will be mass destruction.
Make five teams of two people each.
I want one team here.
One here.
Here.
and here as well.
I need two grenades here.
Two grenades.
When they see death,
destruction and chaos around them
their so-called spirit
will die with them.
Yes.
I was in the room.
They are planning something big.
Infidels who don't
believe in our religion
this day would be an
agonizing day for them.
Mark my words.
I don't know the plan.
But they had pictures
of some nice places.
Cafes, restaurants, tourist places.
Yes.
India.
Mumbai.
Today's training is going
to be a slightly different.
I have added some new drills.
-Oh, God!
-What the hell!
Your vision will be affected.
Your eyes will burn.
Your capacity to think
will be tested as well.
You will be disoriented.
In today's training,
we won't be using a gas mask.
Did any of you drink milk,
this morning?
You're going to regret it.
No, no.
Don't touch your face.
Keep your eyes open.
Keep breathing.
Take deep breaths.
They better get comfortable
with these situations.
Because these are useless.
They haven't been upgraded
for the past ten years.
Nor will they ever be.
We have to work
with what we have.
Hopefully, she wasn’t an only child.
You think it's funny?
Is this a joke?
The dummy that you shot
Look carefully
that was a 6-year-old child.
Her parents were
waiting for her back home.
People lose their lives because
of clowns like you fucking around.
Sir
Sir
Mani!
Outdated equipment.
Lack of ammunition, sir.
Due to which our soldiers are
not able to target practice.
Sir, NSG is not ready for any
kind of 21st century crisis.
Sir, a big city like Mumbai
has a task force of
40,000 policemen
to protect more than
one crore people.
Which is lower than the
minimum requirement
prescribed by the United Nations.
Colonel
when did we last
see NSG in action?
Before my tenure, sir.
That's 2002.
Yes.
Colonel, be clear.
You are demanding funds.
Sir, this is not about demands,
this is about our needs.
My question is
do we need NSG?
Colonel, the fight is in Kashmir.
And we have an army
to deal with that.
See, Colonel
I understand your feelings and
desires to upgrade your unit.
But for me
I have far more important matters
that need
my attention right now.
That will be all.
Ajmal.
Ajmal!
Yes, brother.
Come here.
Here.
-Hold this.
-Yes.
Listen
Take us to Mumbai.
And
keep it away from the coast.
Do you get it?
Come on.
I don't want to go.
Is my baby mad at me?
Raju
You're a man now!
If you stay here
who's gonna take care
of your grandparents?
You have to go to school as well, right?
Hurry up! It’s getting late.
I promise
I'll come see you both soon.
Need some butter?
I'm trying to eat healthy.
Parvati! Come here.
Have some breakfast.
-Come on.
-Mom, I am late.
Why don't you wake up on time?
Right!
Listen
did you call Aunt Rekha's son?
No.
Hey, Listen!
He's a doctor!
Call him once.
Do you know what
Aunt Sumi was telling me?
That girls are lining up
to marry him.
If that's the case,
Why does he need me?
-Bye!
-Listen!
But maybe
you need him.
Okay, I will call him.
Bye.
Next station, Vile Parle.
Next station, Vile Parle.
Next--
Hello.
Greetings.
Greetings.
How's our Indian friend doing?
He's fine.
Still breathing.
You'll need his boat
to get to Indian waters.
Keep him safe.
Don't jeopardize the mission.
Yes, Uncle.
It's all under control.
He is under Ajmal's custody.
Mr. Ahsaan would like
to have a word with you.
Sure.
Talk to him.
Hello, Ismail.
Greetings.
Greetings.
Listen to me carefully.
Allah has paved
a new path for you.
Are you aware?
No one has ever been on a
mission as big as this one.
Allah has chosen all
you guys for this mission.
Allah willing
you will be victorious!
This will be their Judgment day!
Goodbye, my child.
Inshallah, brother!
Inshallah!
You are not important to them, Sahota.
They don't need the NSG either.
We are just a burden to them.
We are a burden,
until they realize our importance.
They're willing splurge
on shitty media campaigns.
But when it comes to funding NSG
they think it's a waste of money.
Anyway.
We'll get the ammunition
required for the target practice.
But
the communication system
that's what worries me.
We don't have enough helmets either.
We will have to make do with
the ones that are available.
What about CTTF2?
-How's their probation coming along?
-Slow.
They lack experience.
And if we were to
talk about CTTF1
how many of them have
seen real action?
I was
I--
I was thinking of something.
For details,
I must seek Mani's help.
We can use his experience.
By the way,
how is he?
He is Mani.
He will be fine.
I saw him heading
towards the firing range.
For practice.
Should I tell him that we are
rationing the ammunition?
So, he has to control himself?
That might just push
him over the edge.
-Hi.
-Hello, madam.
Chabad House.
Okay, madam.
Taxi!
Hey, Anuj!
So, we just got off the airport.
Finally got down to India, right?
Seriously!
Okay.
We are going to drop off our
bags at the hotel.
And then,
we will meet up for dinner.
Great!
Then, see you at 09:00?
Leopold Cafe. Okay?
First time?
Sorry, what?
Mumbai.
First time?
Yes, yes.
You'll like Mumbai.
Very friendly.
Nice time to come.
Eid soon.
Amazing food, madam.
Mutton! Chicken!
Sheer Korma!
I heard about Eid.
And all the festivals here.
Every day is festival, Madam.
So many people here in Mumbai.
Hindu. Muslim.
Christian. Sikh.
You stay long, madam?
You want taxi to go here and there?
Call me anytime!
The weather became
much better today, right?
So sunny!
I mean, I would like to
go for a walk or something.
-Norma?
-Yes.
Hi, just a second.
Excuse me.
Hi, I am Rivka Holtzberg.
Nice to meet you.
Welcome to our house.
It's very nice.
Thank you. Shall I
show you to your room?
Sure.
What's your plan?
-Hi!
-Hello.
I wish they would come
for spirituality too.
But the only thing which they actually
want is just to live free.
Everyone needs a rite of passage.
This is theirs.
Oh, here you are!
Norma, this is my husband,
Rabbi Holtzberg.
This is Norma.
Hi.
You are probably quite
exhausted from your travels.
Yes, a little bit.
Well, I hope not too exhausted
to enjoy Mumbai.
No.
So, we'll probably just go upstairs.
Okay, see you later for dinner.
Yes, sure.
Of course.
-Nice to meet you.
-You too.
Ajmal!
Stop the boat!
Stop the boat.
Hello.
Greetings, my brothers!
How's the hostage?
He is alive.
Kill him.
And listen
Let Ajmal do it.
Yes, brother.
We can't force to implement
these additional changes.
But it is advisable to do so,
considering the warnings
that we've been getting.
This is not the first time you're
coming to me with such information.
I remember, January and then April.
And now, you're telling me the same thing.
This is November.
We could be here in December as well.
We haven't fixed a schedule
with the terrorists yet.
Nor do we have their
holiday calendar.
Look, officers
we have already implemented
all the security measures
that you asked us to.
But snipers
I appreciate your concern.
Please understand,
that would be too much.
We are into the hospitality business.
Our guests come here to relax.
They come here for holidays,
business meetings.
That would be harassment for them.
Rest assured.
The precautionary measures
have been taken and will be taken.
For now,
I have to finish my work.
Thanks for coming.
Sure.
Come on.
Do it.
Go on!
-Let me go.
-Come on.
-Let me go.
- Shut up, asshole!
-Shut the fuck up!
-Please let me go!
-Let me go! Please I beg you!
-Shut up!
-Let me go!
-Do it, Ajmal!
Do it!
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Shut up!
Ajmal, slit his throat!
Shut up!
Ajmal, slit his fucking throat!
Do it!
-Come on!
-Ajmal, slit his throat!
Let me go!
Ajmal!
-Let me go!
-Shut up!
Kasab!
Hey, Kasab!
-Let me go!
-Do it!
It's time we offer this
sacrifice to Allah. Do you get it?
-Do it now! Hey, Shut up!
-Let me go!
Gut this fucking infidel.
I want to hear him scream.
-Stay down.
-Allah might bless me as well.
Do it quickly.
Shut up!
Kasab, slit his fucking throat! Do it!
-Come on.
-Shut up!
Kasab, do it!
-Come on. Shut up!
- Let me go.
Do it!
No!
Allah is the one true God
and Mohamed is his messenger.
Great job, my son.
God bless you.
Well done.
-Hey, Rohit.
-Hey, Mani.
Big day for you.
Don’t jinx it, she is meeting
my parents for the first time.
I hope everything goes well, man.
You are a soldier,
you will find a way.
The way is six hours long.
I am going by road.
I will see you once I am back.
Bravery always wins!
Sir.
Yeah, come in.
Sir, did you call me?
Yes.
Good to see you, Major.
I heard there was some incident today.
Anything I should be
concerned about?
Nothing unusual.
Normal challenges.
Challenges, these boys
must face to become fighters.
The boys aren't comfortable
in uncomfortable situations yet.
And you?
Are you okay?
Yes, I am alright.
You don't have to worry about me.
Good.
And the team?
How is their training going on?
The physical fitness is fine.
But the mental stamina
that's something we'll have to work on.
That means
they are not ready
for real situations yet.
With due respect, sir
I'm not training them to
save themselves.
I am training them to win.
Listen
open the valve and
throw him off the boat.
Don't leave any traces
that lead to us.
Yes, we will leave
as soon as it's dark.
No one should be able to
trace it back to us.
Do you get it?
Yes.
Yes, Uncle.
Inshallah!
Goodbye.
Hi, Neha.
Glad you called.
Mani, how are you?
I am okay.
Mani, come on. Get over this.
It's killing you.
It's killing us.
You said that you'll
be serious about this.
That was our deal.
I can't live with you
if you don't,
at least try dealing with it.
I am trying to deal with this.
But I am responsible for the
death of my soldiers.
Mani, enough.
Mani
I love you.
But I can't take it anymore.
I am leaving.
I'll be staying with my mom.
Take care.
Bye.
Neha
I've worked for all local news!
But at least we are one
of the credible voices.
What credible voice? What am I
going to do with credible voices?
I can't take it to the board, can I?
Oh, God!
We need some hard-hitting real news, man!
Okay?
And this is the only way we can
break away from this bloody clutter.
What is real?
Tell me, what is real?
Are you real?
Am I real?
What is real?
Take a pick!
Let's make them pick.
Okay? Let's make a choice
and stick with it.
Let's find that voice
and be unique, man!
That's just bullshit.
That's serious bullshit.
All you want is, you know,
those snappy events,
so you can get your award.
But look around you,
these are our awards!
Let me get my ratings.
You get the awards, okay?
Mom and Dad are fighting again.
Not surprised.
The ratings have come in today.
Here you go, Moshe.
Thank you.
So, Norma, what brought you to Mumbai?
Well
I am making Aliyah
to Israel on Monday.
-Oh, wow!
-That's great!
Thank you.
And I have been traveling
all over the world.
And for the past several months.
And Mumbai just happened
to be my last stop.
That's lovely, actually.
Any children?
Yes, three.
Three?
Wow!
Two in Israel.
We haven't--
Well--
I'm just looking
very much forward
to meeting them.
We're getting alerts for terror attacks.
How specific are these alerts?
Sir, it's high level information.
Mumbai’s hotels, airports
and stadiums are their targets.
We appreciate the Intel, Sidana.
But unless we have some
hard evidence
we can't give these alerts
equal importance.
But sir, as per RAW and
CIA Intelligence reports--
Sidana!
What do you want me to do?
To cordon off the city,
every time we receive these threats?
To set-off panic amongst people.
Sir
Surya and I visited the hotels.
And?
We have advised them to implement
certain security measures.
They've agreed but
they've refused to deploy snipers.
All we can do is,
advise them.
If they don't need our help,
then it is up to them.
Hi, Darling.
With your champagne,
would you like a yacht?
You finally got it.
Indeed. We can christen her this evening.
She's out on the port, right now.
Wow, that's exciting.
And tomorrow we can
take her out to the seas.
It would be a beautiful
day for sailing.
Maybe, we can sail to Goa?
Maybe.
Or maybe we can sail all the
way back to Santorini.
Gentlemen, just on time.
Please have a seat.
Thank you.
Let's discuss our plans for
circumnavigating the globe in a moment.
Gentlemen
are we ready to
put ink to paper?
There you go.
With that,
we end our segment here tonight.
But we will be back
tomorrow evening
to discuss the upcoming polls.
Do tune in, as we love to hear our
viewers' thoughts and opinions.
From everyone here,
this is Santosh Dutta signing off.
Good job, Santosh.
-Well done.
-Santosh!
Nadia, here's the research that
you asked for on child labor.
Actually,
I did further reading and--
No, it's been scraped.
Sorry, didn't anyone tell you?
Santosh, what I was saying
I need to do some changes here.
-Oh, yeah!
-Here he is!
-Hey.
-Hey, Anuj!
-Hey.
- Hi.
Arne!
Good to see you, man!
Come on, sit.
So guys, welcome to Mumbai.
And welcome to the
legendary Leopold.
If you haven't been here
you aren't an expat in India.
