WEBVTT
04:05.459 --> 04:08.636
A surging, roaring protest
04:08.637 --> 04:10.840
I also want to go with her.
04:11.870 --> 04:13.131
Be careful on the way.
04:13.132 --> 04:14.260
Okay, Mom.
04:24.968 --> 04:28.593
A protest rally organised by the CPNM
04:28.594 --> 04:33.386
against the State Government's bar policy
is currently underway here.
04:33.626 --> 04:37.626
We extend a warm welcome
to State Secretary Comrade Gopalan
04:37.627 --> 04:43.272
and State Secretariat member
Comrade Kannur Jayadevan to the stage.
04:50.828 --> 04:52.487
Under the leadership of the CPNM,
04:52.488 --> 04:55.721
a fierce protest is erupting
against the State Government's move
04:55.722 --> 04:57.930
to grant licenses
exclusively to five-star bars.
04:57.931 --> 05:00.176
Thousands from every corner of Kerala
have gathered,
05:00.177 --> 05:02.235
turning the Secretariat premises
into a sea of red.
05:02.236 --> 05:03.328
If this continues,
05:03.329 --> 05:05.680
the capital city will grind
to a halt by noon.
05:05.681 --> 05:09.133
Political Kerala is watching closely to see
how Chief Minister KN Varghese,
05:09.134 --> 05:11.392
who has so far faced
allegations and controversies
05:11.393 --> 05:14.736
with remarkable political agility,
will weather this storm.
05:16.219 --> 05:18.445
- How is it going?
- Everyone's on edge.
05:18.446 --> 05:19.977
They've come fully prepared.
05:19.978 --> 05:22.664
A government surviving on a
razor-thin majority of just two seats,
05:22.665 --> 05:24.298
one that could collapse any moment,
05:24.299 --> 05:26.508
this protest is nothing short
of a trial by fire.
05:26.509 --> 05:27.986
Sir, things will escalate.
05:27.987 --> 05:29.517
The CM will be under immense pressure.
05:29.870 --> 05:33.336
If the crowd turns violent,
the police shouldn't react immediately.
05:34.253 --> 05:36.089
Let them vent.
05:36.090 --> 05:37.651
Stoke their anger.
05:38.359 --> 05:42.049
Then use whatever feels right,
rubber bullets, tear gas, water cannons...
05:42.846 --> 05:46.423
If possible, turn this into
another Koothuparambu or Muthanga.
05:46.424 --> 05:48.205
I don't need to spell it out, Soman.
05:48.822 --> 05:51.736
The media and social media
05:51.978 --> 05:53.431
- should be on fire.
- Sir.
05:53.542 --> 05:55.127
Comrades, friends,
05:55.392 --> 05:57.159
So now, it seems bars in Kerala
05:57.160 --> 05:59.565
must all be five-star only!
05:59.916 --> 06:02.261
We all know
our Chief Minister KN Varghese's
06:02.262 --> 06:04.417
undying obsession with five stars!
06:07.560 --> 06:10.920
Long live the revolution!
06:11.210 --> 06:13.897
Long live SFY!
06:16.362 --> 06:17.432
Isn't the Chief Minister,
06:17.433 --> 06:20.729
along with his elder son,
Rajya Sabha MP Tobin Varghese,
06:20.917 --> 06:22.589
busy looting Kerala dry?
06:22.878 --> 06:25.705
Has Kerala ever seen a Chief Minister
06:25.706 --> 06:28.305
as shameless as KN Varghese?
06:28.422 --> 06:30.911
I say this with complete responsibility.
06:30.912 --> 06:33.664
The Chief Minister and his son together
06:34.279 --> 06:36.336
have pocketed over a hundred crores,
06:36.337 --> 06:39.063
squeezed out of five-star hotel owners
across Kerala!
06:39.193 --> 06:41.352
Before we leave this ground today,
06:41.353 --> 06:44.133
KN Varghese will be forced to resign!
06:45.075 --> 06:46.387
What's happening, man?
06:46.474 --> 06:48.040
How is it? Is it getting wild?
06:49.896 --> 06:51.380
Anyway, send the boys in.
06:52.467 --> 06:54.114
What can sixty of them really do,
06:54.115 --> 06:56.184
stuck in the middle
of five thousand people?
06:56.974 --> 06:58.668
Ah, send whoever's available!
06:59.701 --> 07:01.769
They've got the stuff with them, right?
07:02.887 --> 07:04.597
Tell them to provoke the crowd.
07:05.248 --> 07:06.411
Yeah, I'm on my way.
07:09.123 --> 07:10.324
- -Hey.
- Yeah?
07:10.536 --> 07:11.544
What is it, Tobin?
07:12.709 --> 07:15.075
You freshen up, have breakfast,
and then come.
07:15.076 --> 07:16.114
Okay.
07:16.115 --> 07:17.700
- I'm heading out.
- Where to?
07:17.701 --> 07:20.170
The Secretariat siege is heating up.
07:20.708 --> 07:22.434
Need to shake things up a little.
07:22.654 --> 07:24.826
Got to give Dad some backup.
07:25.567 --> 07:27.418
You've got the spare keys, right?
07:27.419 --> 07:29.238
Yes. Will you call me?
07:30.262 --> 07:32.309
Calling might take a couple of days.
07:32.526 --> 07:34.175
I'm pulling this SIM out right now.
07:44.909 --> 07:48.145
President, we should float a rumour
about a resignation.
07:48.146 --> 07:49.153
The media is on our side.
07:49.424 --> 07:52.103
Mallu Voice has already gone active online.
07:52.259 --> 07:53.954
Thattel Prasad pinged me on WhatsApp.
07:54.330 --> 07:55.642
The Excise Minister is rattled.
07:56.049 --> 07:58.080
He's creating a scene
in the cabinet meeting.
07:58.377 --> 08:00.347
Call Delhi and inform them
08:00.348 --> 08:02.557
we're withdrawing our group's support.
08:02.878 --> 08:05.245
Don't rush it.
Let Varghese reach the Secretariat first.
08:05.494 --> 08:06.917
I'll call after that.
08:08.306 --> 08:09.852
It's ACP Baiju.
08:11.238 --> 08:12.246
Ah... yes, Baiju.
08:12.379 --> 08:13.387
Tell me.
08:14.746 --> 08:15.754
Oh, at a time like this?
08:17.028 --> 08:18.035
I see.
08:18.611 --> 08:19.666
What is it, sir?
08:19.667 --> 08:22.713
The CM has gone to pay his respects
to the late IT Secretary, Cherian.
08:23.377 --> 08:26.111
Instead of rushing to the Secretariat,
all tense and rattled,
08:26.112 --> 08:28.940
the man's gone to Chaakka Junction
for the funeral rites!
08:36.206 --> 08:40.112
He doesn't think or act like us, man.
08:43.698 --> 08:44.705
He's a fox.
08:45.135 --> 08:47.839
The craftiest fox
Kerala has ever seen.
08:58.946 --> 09:01.806
Prasad sir and Basheer ikka
seem a little shaken.
09:01.807 --> 09:04.838
If the pressure builds,
more people might jump ship.
09:04.963 --> 09:08.230
There's talk that the Delhi high command
might cut you loose, sir.
09:08.231 --> 09:09.238
Let's see, man.
09:09.610 --> 09:11.001
Haven't we seen this before?
09:11.002 --> 09:14.237
And don't fan the media flames right now.
09:14.238 --> 09:15.246
Hmm.
09:21.188 --> 09:22.695
Varghese,
09:22.696 --> 09:25.501
even flaunting a mere two-seat majority
09:25.651 --> 09:27.635
needs a bit of dignity, you know.
09:47.258 --> 09:49.986
- Sir, the situation is unpredictable.
- We'll see.
09:50.080 --> 09:51.903
- How much staff do we have?
- Very few, sir.
09:51.904 --> 09:53.310
Today we've no other plans.
09:53.311 --> 09:54.693
Sure, sir.
09:56.019 --> 09:57.447
Make way! Make way!
Keep it aside.
10:01.581 --> 10:03.911
Yeah, I haven't forgotten.
The day after tomorrow, right?
10:03.912 --> 10:05.054
I'll be there.
10:05.055 --> 10:06.817
Pappachan, take care of
10:06.818 --> 10:09.981
everything needed
for Rahel's daughter's wedding.
10:09.982 --> 10:11.013
Okay.
10:11.014 --> 10:12.347
Alright.
11:17.879 --> 11:19.950
The protest outside is getting fiercer.
11:20.441 --> 11:22.955
They're calling for a complete shutdown
by afternoon.
11:24.863 --> 11:26.105
There's talk everywhere
11:26.106 --> 11:28.051
that I'll be kicked out of the chair today.
11:28.978 --> 11:29.986
So...
11:31.267 --> 11:33.063
we're taking a decision now.
11:34.549 --> 11:37.940
We are shutting down
all the bars in the state.
11:40.229 --> 11:42.337
Forget star ratings and classifications,
11:42.338 --> 11:43.727
shut down every single one!
11:45.079 --> 11:47.021
What?! How will that even work?
11:47.526 --> 11:50.088
Didn't he already take bribe
from the five-star hotel lobby?
11:50.292 --> 11:51.969
Didn't Mathew sir object to this?
11:52.154 --> 11:53.399
And what about Thattel Prasad?
11:53.400 --> 11:56.327
CM, you can't take such a call
in this kind of haste.
11:56.688 --> 11:58.584
Wasn't it you who insisted until last night
11:58.585 --> 12:00.718
that there would be
no compromise on this?
12:01.154 --> 12:03.116
Prasad, isn't politics all about
12:03.117 --> 12:05.007
changing your stance overnight?
12:05.225 --> 12:08.133
Even then, you should hear
the Excise Minister out.
12:08.134 --> 12:09.633
Take a call after that.
12:09.634 --> 12:11.186
I'll listen to you, Prasad,
12:11.617 --> 12:12.881
but in my office.
12:13.540 --> 12:15.334
The decision, however, will be made...
12:15.634 --> 12:16.642
right now...
12:16.954 --> 12:17.962
right here!
12:19.452 --> 12:22.200
The revenue loss from shutting all bars,
12:22.334 --> 12:23.905
didn't I submit a note on this, CM?
12:24.024 --> 12:25.945
How am I supposed to run the state then?
12:25.946 --> 12:26.954
Mathew sir...
12:27.829 --> 12:30.140
This is a political decision.
12:30.141 --> 12:32.475
Then it must be discussed in the Cabinet.
12:32.476 --> 12:34.443
You must also consult
the coalition partners.
12:34.915 --> 12:36.374
Abdul Rahman Sahib,
12:36.562 --> 12:38.782
what's your stand on this?
12:38.923 --> 12:39.931
Thangal called me.
12:40.618 --> 12:43.947
He said you've already discussed this
with him.
12:43.948 --> 12:45.712
So we stand with the CM.
12:46.842 --> 12:49.061
If Thangal and I agree,
12:49.524 --> 12:51.585
that settles it for the Front.
12:51.586 --> 12:52.953
Isn't that right, Mathew sir?
12:53.986 --> 12:56.966
For four years,
I've been running this circus,
12:56.967 --> 12:59.381
surviving on a majority of just two seats.
12:59.989 --> 13:02.835
And now, at the peak of this real
well-of-death stunt,
13:02.836 --> 13:04.631
how can we simply step back?
13:05.485 --> 13:07.881
Shouldn't we survive this, sir?
13:10.180 --> 13:11.405
So, let's face the media.
13:11.899 --> 13:15.092
After all, the comrades
have an afternoon train to catch.
13:15.411 --> 13:19.075
Protesters: Inquilab Zindabad
13:20.524 --> 13:23.397
This is a historic day.
13:24.595 --> 13:27.530
From today onwards,
there are no bars in our state.
13:28.282 --> 13:29.867
And when I say this,
13:29.868 --> 13:34.217
I can already see the smiles
13:34.896 --> 13:37.709
on the faces of thousands
of our sisters and homemakers.
13:38.461 --> 13:41.348
Our massive people's movement
has tasted victory.
13:42.626 --> 13:44.780
We have just one thing to tell Varghese.
13:44.876 --> 13:46.782
This struggle will not stop,
13:46.783 --> 13:49.454
not until your misrule comes to an end.
13:59.522 --> 14:00.952
Hassan ikka,
14:01.317 --> 14:02.812
you need to be a bit more careful.
14:02.813 --> 14:05.453
When we avoid chemical fertilisers,
the care has to double.
14:05.454 --> 14:07.311
This isn't neglect, not intentionally.
14:07.407 --> 14:08.461
I don't know why,
14:08.462 --> 14:11.109
but rot and pest attacks
are worse this time.
14:11.110 --> 14:12.522
This isn't about profit for me.
14:12.853 --> 14:14.023
It's pure passion.
14:14.024 --> 14:15.869
After all the running around,
14:15.870 --> 14:17.260
coming back here brings peace.
14:17.501 --> 14:18.670
I know, sir.
14:19.962 --> 14:22.788
See the workers. The moment you
look away, they slack off.
14:22.997 --> 14:26.155
Let me go meet my mother,
take my usual scolding, and leave.
14:51.947 --> 14:54.725
This isn't a knee-jerk reaction
to the Secretariat siege.
14:55.217 --> 14:57.777
Wasn't I accused of taking bribes
14:57.778 --> 14:59.340
from five-star hotel owners?
14:59.771 --> 15:01.308
Has that story lost its sting?
15:02.993 --> 15:04.001
Are you leaving?
15:04.257 --> 15:05.349
Yes.
15:05.350 --> 15:07.709
The next two months will be hectic, Mom.
15:08.017 --> 15:09.375
I won't be home often.
15:09.376 --> 15:12.233
I can't keep slogging it out here,
in this godforsaken place.
15:12.420 --> 15:13.868
I'm shifting to the flat.
15:14.711 --> 15:17.876
I was wondering if you'd forget
to bring this up today.
15:19.407 --> 15:21.554
Can you really leave this place?
15:31.563 --> 15:33.921
The government has taken a decision
15:33.922 --> 15:36.772
more revolutionary
than even the Land Reforms.
15:36.884 --> 15:38.711
Isn't that an exaggeration, CM?
15:38.712 --> 15:39.720
Not at all!
15:40.173 --> 15:42.928
If you doubt it,
ask your father, Elizabeth.
15:43.095 --> 15:46.803
Today's decision rests on the prayers
and sacrifices
15:47.009 --> 15:48.827
of many Gandhians like him.
15:48.828 --> 15:50.608
Happy now, after him
insulting your father?
15:50.609 --> 15:51.866
Scram!
16:23.553 --> 16:25.550
So, CM Varghese survives!
16:26.908 --> 16:28.487
I spoke with Mr. Purushothaman.
16:28.488 --> 16:30.278
He sounded rather desperate.
16:30.279 --> 16:32.207
Not the first time, goddamn it!
16:32.560 --> 16:34.831
Ishaan ji, we're running out of time.
16:35.745 --> 16:37.297
Why don't we give up Kerala
16:37.548 --> 16:39.078
and go for the other states?
16:40.361 --> 16:41.695
No. We'll stick with Kerala.
16:43.002 --> 16:45.719
For strategic, economic, and...
16:45.720 --> 16:47.510
socio-political reasons.
16:48.598 --> 16:50.877
Besides, it's the decision from the top.
16:52.028 --> 16:53.377
He doesn't listen to us.
16:55.020 --> 16:56.028
He dictates.
17:12.098 --> 17:13.895
What the hell is wrong with them?
17:13.896 --> 17:15.936
Are they seriously planning
to shut down everything?
17:15.937 --> 17:17.406
You may leave.
17:17.518 --> 17:20.659
If Mom shows any asthma symptoms,
take her to Dr. Ramankutty.
17:21.030 --> 17:22.157
Devasia uncle...
17:22.158 --> 17:23.485
Ah, it's you, Ravi?
17:23.716 --> 17:24.909
Why do you look so upset?
17:25.169 --> 17:26.176
My dear, Ravi,
17:26.668 --> 17:28.831
I don't mind standing in the BEVCO queue.
17:29.160 --> 17:32.067
But the whole bar vibe,
blue lights, Hindi songs...
17:32.068 --> 17:33.838
drinking there was pure joy.
17:33.989 --> 17:36.816
You can't match that joy
even with Scotch at home!
17:36.950 --> 17:38.824
All those lights and songs will be back.
17:39.848 --> 17:41.500
It's politics, after all.
17:42.435 --> 17:43.443
Things will change.
17:44.051 --> 17:46.081
The Panchayat wanted me to ask you, Ravi,
17:46.260 --> 17:48.954
Fixing the road to your house
would help many people.
17:49.152 --> 17:51.817
Once it rains, it's a mess.
Kids can't even get to school.
17:52.214 --> 17:55.214
Isn't going to school in the rain fun,
Devasia uncle?
17:56.035 --> 17:58.166
Some things should stay
just the way they are.
18:03.855 --> 18:05.067
So, see you on my next visit.
18:05.339 --> 18:06.347
Okay.
18:51.482 --> 18:54.000
- Why are you crying, my dear?
- I'll call you back.
18:54.250 --> 18:55.930
Who made my child cry?
18:56.350 --> 18:57.769
She was watching TV.
18:58.140 --> 19:01.817
She got scared hearing people say
things about you in the news.
19:04.313 --> 19:05.421
Grandpa...
19:05.422 --> 19:07.007
Why's my little one scared?
19:07.404 --> 19:10.074
Rosa aunty's dad said...
19:10.075 --> 19:11.916
that you died, Grandpa.
19:13.252 --> 19:15.321
But your grandpa's right here, isn't he?
19:15.725 --> 19:17.767
It was Comrade Jayadevan on News Time.
19:17.883 --> 19:21.353
He said Varghese's political death
happened today...
19:22.539 --> 19:24.026
It's alright, dear.
19:25.560 --> 19:27.265
That uncle was just joking.
19:27.266 --> 19:29.117
He buys chocolates for you, right?
19:29.593 --> 19:31.052
Tobin, did you send some
19:31.360 --> 19:34.459
youth wing boys to the protest site
19:34.460 --> 19:36.061
with crackers and red ink?
19:36.212 --> 19:37.219
Yes, I did.
19:37.380 --> 19:39.190
It would've been more dramatic
19:39.191 --> 19:41.840
if the comrades had clashed with them.
19:41.841 --> 19:43.038
Sadly, that didn't happen.
19:43.039 --> 19:44.703
You drew the curtain too quickly, Dad.
19:45.913 --> 19:47.262
No matter how hard you try,
19:47.653 --> 19:49.219
you're just not able to grow
19:49.220 --> 19:50.793
beyond student politics.
19:54.327 --> 19:56.098
Dad, tomorrow is Mariya's birthday.
19:56.220 --> 19:58.847
If we host it on the lawn here,
it'll be convenient for everyone.
19:58.848 --> 19:59.855
Of course, dear.
20:00.039 --> 20:01.573
Aren't you the queen here?
20:02.033 --> 20:03.370
You plan everything.
20:04.321 --> 20:06.776
I am sleeping with grandpa tonight.
20:07.341 --> 20:09.338
Tonight, she's all love for her grandpa.
20:09.339 --> 20:11.699
My child loves her grandpa every day,
right, dear?
20:12.500 --> 20:13.765
Rosa, dear...
20:14.740 --> 20:17.473
isn't John closing the deal today?
20:17.607 --> 20:18.646
The signing is done, Dad.
20:18.647 --> 20:20.178
He's at the after party now.
20:21.980 --> 20:23.952
Did he tell you how much it was?
20:25.160 --> 20:26.880
Would he tell me if he hasn't told you?
20:27.053 --> 20:28.340
Oh...
20:28.696 --> 20:30.129
BANGALORE
20:30.130 --> 20:32.090
Data drives the modern world.
20:32.091 --> 20:34.290
Vulnerability defines it.
20:35.114 --> 20:38.385
Ironveil delivers
intelligent security solutions
20:38.579 --> 20:41.889
designed to protect
critical information at scale.
21:15.739 --> 21:17.217
Thank you. Thank you.
21:17.218 --> 21:19.579
I'm so happy that
we're celebrating this together.
21:21.273 --> 21:22.280
Hey John!
21:24.924 --> 21:26.568
- Congrats buddy.
- Thank you.
21:26.671 --> 21:27.896
- Hi Eric.
- Hello.
21:28.752 --> 21:30.702
Such a big day for our buddy, John.
21:31.065 --> 21:33.438
- Congratulations to you too, Eric.
- Thank you.
21:34.987 --> 21:35.993
But today...
21:36.266 --> 21:38.890
it's all about our mate, John Varghese.
21:39.486 --> 21:41.859
You've made your fortune by building...
21:42.459 --> 21:43.466
firewalls,
21:43.560 --> 21:44.710
stopping breaches,
21:45.047 --> 21:46.492
erecting digital walls...
21:47.036 --> 21:50.017
and all the while he's preaching
about digital freedom,
21:50.500 --> 21:52.946
truth and data democracy.
21:53.633 --> 21:55.938
A walking bundle of contradictions.
21:56.145 --> 21:57.398
Just a minute, Sukesh.
21:58.013 --> 21:59.992
Eric... Please excuse me.
22:00.340 --> 22:02.540
I'm going to speak a bit
in my native tongue.
22:02.637 --> 22:03.677
Okay.
22:04.313 --> 22:05.802
To those of you who don't know...
22:06.367 --> 22:07.373
You must have heard of
22:08.338 --> 22:10.226
F-News, the channel
that ran sting operations
22:10.227 --> 22:11.704
on three central ministers
22:11.705 --> 22:13.213
and forced them to resign.
22:13.919 --> 22:14.926
He owns it.
22:15.046 --> 22:16.253
Sukesh Pandey.
22:17.486 --> 22:19.039
He's been my friend for a long time.
22:19.286 --> 22:20.901
But he's a nasty guy...
22:21.033 --> 22:22.040
A moron!
22:23.687 --> 22:25.682
Yes, I'm dirty, John.
22:26.373 --> 22:27.701
But tell us one thing.
22:28.313 --> 22:30.164
Why so secretive about the...
22:30.165 --> 22:31.292
Eric deal?
22:32.933 --> 22:34.580
Why can't we know the price tag?
22:36.033 --> 22:37.104
Take it as a challenge.
22:37.300 --> 22:38.307
And find out!
22:40.306 --> 22:41.478
Party time, guys!
22:56.732 --> 22:58.526
Is Pandey going to cause trouble?
23:00.253 --> 23:02.351
He will just keep sniffing around.
23:39.640 --> 23:41.049
- Cheers!
- Cheers.
23:41.593 --> 23:43.013
Bro, be careful
23:44.007 --> 23:45.013
She's Poonam.
23:45.366 --> 23:46.695
Niece of the central minister.
23:47.435 --> 23:49.522
And her intentions aren't good.
23:49.873 --> 23:50.880
So, be careful.
24:01.546 --> 24:02.553
What's up?
24:14.520 --> 24:16.269
Let me make a call...
24:17.880 --> 24:20.186
Just want to speak to my wife.
24:21.253 --> 24:22.333
- Wife?
- Yeah...
24:23.347 --> 24:24.898
I always speak to her...
24:25.027 --> 24:26.637
when anything great happens.
24:27.440 --> 24:28.741
What the...
24:31.624 --> 24:33.271
Transparency is important.
24:33.786 --> 24:35.393
You can also call your boyfriend.
24:35.866 --> 24:37.631
I don't have any boyfriend.
24:38.126 --> 24:39.133
Really?!
24:44.100 --> 24:45.160
Who's that?
24:46.873 --> 24:47.880
I'm her boyfriend.
24:48.199 --> 24:50.000
No way. We broke up.
24:51.051 --> 24:52.879
We broke up?!
You ditched me!
24:52.880 --> 24:53.946
Doesn't matter!
24:53.947 --> 24:55.009
Bro... Bro... Bro!
24:55.373 --> 24:56.553
Easy... Easy, bro...
24:56.804 --> 24:58.846
Breakup means break up!
25:05.480 --> 25:06.682
Are you sick?
25:07.024 --> 25:08.123
You can drink this.
25:09.175 --> 25:10.182
Tai Chi champion.
25:10.280 --> 25:11.286
Two times.
25:11.591 --> 25:12.565
This guy?!
25:19.852 --> 25:21.436
SFY union secretary.
25:22.136 --> 25:23.276
Three years.
25:26.893 --> 25:27.900
Are you okay?
25:28.094 --> 25:29.100
Nice.
25:37.720 --> 25:39.172
Is the party over?
25:53.896 --> 25:54.903
What happened, dear?
25:55.056 --> 25:56.149
Dad, it's John.
25:56.703 --> 25:58.084
If it's about the deal,
25:58.317 --> 25:59.965
can't he call in the morning?
26:00.290 --> 26:01.963
Tell me...
How much did you get?
26:02.169 --> 26:03.349
Oh, I got plenty.
26:04.050 --> 26:07.130
How's your relationship with
the Karnataka CM now?
26:08.390 --> 26:09.390
I'm at...
26:09.573 --> 26:11.082
Kengeri police station now.
26:11.330 --> 26:12.849
Police station?!
26:13.024 --> 26:14.588
It's a small case...
26:14.870 --> 26:15.877
involving a woman.
26:15.990 --> 26:17.494
What a dirty mess!
26:17.657 --> 26:19.023
If the media gets wind of this...
26:20.216 --> 26:21.391
Hang up the phone.
26:21.654 --> 26:23.356
Let me contact the Home Minister.
26:24.003 --> 26:25.010
Quickly, please.
26:31.743 --> 26:34.413
I never thought
he'd do something like this.
26:34.569 --> 26:35.760
I knew he would.
26:38.583 --> 26:40.350
Salutes to the CM!
26:41.376 --> 26:43.215
Make way for the CM.
26:43.382 --> 26:44.389
Move.
26:45.477 --> 26:46.484
Sir.
26:47.696 --> 26:48.996
We'll accept all requests.
26:48.997 --> 26:50.534
Give it one by one.
26:51.129 --> 26:52.135
Here.
26:52.590 --> 26:54.219
We'll sort it out.
26:54.482 --> 26:56.280
It's regarding the drinking water scheme.
26:57.632 --> 27:00.541
Don't crowd up...
We'll accept all your requests.
27:01.223 --> 27:02.671
Madam, go in front.
27:03.276 --> 27:05.842
Go stand there so that sir will spot you.
27:05.969 --> 27:08.154
There's no point standing here like this.
27:08.155 --> 27:09.396
Come on.
Make way.
27:09.397 --> 27:10.881
We can fix it in a month.
27:10.882 --> 27:12.539
- We'll sort it out.
- Move... move...
27:13.857 --> 27:15.412
Please drink this, sir.
27:18.636 --> 27:20.767
On Time has called you for an interview.
27:20.768 --> 27:21.877
What should I tell them?
27:21.878 --> 27:23.730
The vigilance report
will be out the day after, right?
27:23.731 --> 27:25.066
- Let's do it then.
- Alright.
27:29.517 --> 27:30.657
- Madam...
- Yes, sir.
27:30.658 --> 27:32.590
The department enquiry is on going.
27:33.802 --> 27:34.716
Sir...
27:34.717 --> 27:36.029
- Did you join?
- Not yet, sir.
27:36.030 --> 27:37.175
I thought I'll see you first...
27:37.176 --> 27:39.161
- Then go to Trivandrum and take charge.
- Yes, sir.
27:39.162 --> 27:40.409
I'll see you tomorrow evening.
27:40.410 --> 27:42.338
- There's something I want to discuss.
- Okay, sir.
27:43.743 --> 27:45.534
- Thank you, sir.
- For what?
27:45.535 --> 27:46.879
- I mean...
- Go on...
27:47.697 --> 27:48.703
Yes, sir.
27:49.170 --> 27:51.083
Sir, we had kept her on the sidelines
27:51.084 --> 27:52.695
without assigning any posting.
27:53.176 --> 27:54.262
Give her the posting.
27:54.263 --> 27:55.742
- In Crimes.
- Should we?
27:55.743 --> 27:57.140
She's a troublemaker.
27:57.141 --> 27:58.883
It's for a slightly nasty affair.
27:59.150 --> 28:00.157
She's perfect for it.
28:00.716 --> 28:03.710
Sometimes, it's good to give
the job to the honest ones.
28:08.563 --> 28:09.909
Hey, man! How are you?
28:09.910 --> 28:11.183
- Hi...
- Look over there.
28:11.639 --> 28:13.005
Is your course over?
28:13.141 --> 28:14.488
- Hey, man!
- Hi, man. How are you?
28:14.489 --> 28:15.527
Rosa...
28:15.853 --> 28:17.321
Where's John?
28:17.322 --> 28:19.559
John will definitely come.
He'll be here in some time.
28:19.560 --> 28:20.766
Let me go to the stage.
28:20.767 --> 28:21.809
Alright, Mom.
28:21.903 --> 28:23.496
- Hi...
- Hi, I just got here now.
28:23.497 --> 28:24.540
Thank you.
28:37.754 --> 28:39.312
- John, don't ruin it.
- Get lost!
28:39.313 --> 28:40.327
Greetings.
28:40.328 --> 28:41.544
Mom and Rani are looking.
28:41.545 --> 28:42.618
Who cares!
28:42.619 --> 28:43.755
- Come on!
- Let me go.
28:47.645 --> 28:48.758
Dear, please make way.
28:50.606 --> 28:51.925
- All good?
- Yes.
28:51.926 --> 28:53.013
Let me go, John.
28:53.807 --> 28:55.390
Just stop it.
People are staring!
28:55.391 --> 28:56.694
Isn't that John?
28:56.695 --> 28:58.189
Why are you standing there?
Come here.
28:58.624 --> 29:00.659
Tonight, let's drink to all the bars
29:00.939 --> 29:02.274
you've shut down, Dad.
29:08.316 --> 29:09.969
You are a corruptive force.
29:10.200 --> 29:12.315
Like you've nothing to do with corruption!
29:12.433 --> 29:13.635
- Stop it, you!
- John.
29:13.919 --> 29:16.703
Why did you pull that stunt
in the middle of the party?
29:17.073 --> 29:18.896
Isn't this how you make kids happy, Ichaya?
29:19.000 --> 29:20.032
Some good fun!
29:20.033 --> 29:21.204
Yeah, what a funny guy!
29:21.793 --> 29:23.906
My friends from Dubai were asking about
29:23.995 --> 29:25.546
what you were up to?
29:26.080 --> 29:28.028
You've left a terrible impression.
29:28.673 --> 29:30.773
Why didn't you just tell those guys
29:30.774 --> 29:31.959
what he does?
29:32.599 --> 29:33.627
See...
29:33.806 --> 29:35.653
you should show this to those guys.
29:36.053 --> 29:37.748
Then they'd be queuing up
29:37.988 --> 29:39.401
to meet my little one.
29:39.647 --> 29:41.187
- Right, dear?
- Of course!
29:41.320 --> 29:43.071
Queuing... As if!
29:43.185 --> 29:44.452
- Stop it!
- Here you go, Ichaya.
29:44.613 --> 29:45.879
I don't want.
29:47.340 --> 29:49.867
Rani, get me black tea with lemon.
29:49.979 --> 29:51.538
- Feeling squeamish.
- Tobin.
29:52.913 --> 29:53.952
Yes, Dad.
29:53.953 --> 29:56.367
Why are those foreigners
still hanging around?
29:56.633 --> 29:57.753
It's been a few days now.
29:58.234 --> 29:59.240
Dad... They...
29:59.492 --> 30:01.460
They are here for a project...
30:01.701 --> 30:03.298
Don't shake hands without making sure
30:03.299 --> 30:04.840
who they are and what it's about.
30:05.067 --> 30:06.949
And don't stash all that foreign currency
30:07.213 --> 30:09.600
they give you under your bed.
30:11.800 --> 30:15.166
Apparently, MP Tobin Varghese
is struggling to convert
30:15.589 --> 30:18.018
around three million euros
and five lakh dollars.
30:18.667 --> 30:21.190
I got this information from
ADGP of Intelligence.
30:22.193 --> 30:23.200
Listen...
30:23.332 --> 30:24.996
Taking bribes...
30:25.394 --> 30:26.800
is an art.
30:27.000 --> 30:28.856
You need to learn how to do it properly.
30:29.079 --> 30:31.176
Dad, you've only ever had
contempt for me.
30:31.542 --> 30:33.228
When will you ever appreciate me?
30:33.447 --> 30:36.315
How can I set a date and time for something
30:36.316 --> 30:39.224
you've got to earn through
your own actions?
30:44.164 --> 30:45.251
John.
30:45.853 --> 30:46.860
Now, it's your turn.
30:47.380 --> 30:49.230
You said you had something to tell me.
30:49.527 --> 30:50.587
What is it?
30:51.353 --> 30:52.359
That's...
30:52.933 --> 30:55.053
Dear, why is he getting so nervous?
30:56.526 --> 30:58.990
Dad, John has taken up a new assignment.
30:59.185 --> 31:00.371
It's in St. Petersburg.
31:00.473 --> 31:02.095
He has to leave the day after.
31:03.573 --> 31:04.580
What is this?
31:04.980 --> 31:06.272
Out of the blue,
31:06.273 --> 31:07.882
you say you're going abroad?
31:08.507 --> 31:09.529
For how long...
31:09.959 --> 31:11.008
is this assignment?
31:12.713 --> 31:15.079
Now you'll tell me it's for a few days.
31:16.607 --> 31:19.555
Then it will become permanent, right?
31:21.993 --> 31:23.094
What about you?
31:24.406 --> 31:26.901
I'm trying for a
post-doctoral programme there.
31:27.300 --> 31:28.307
Hmm.
31:29.093 --> 31:32.067
So, a complete uprooting, isn't it?
31:32.673 --> 31:34.330
When growth opportunities come my way,
31:34.331 --> 31:35.546
how can I turn them down?
31:35.759 --> 31:38.022
And shouldn't we see the world too?
31:38.473 --> 31:40.241
Who told you you've got to
31:40.242 --> 31:41.690
go abroad to see the world?
31:42.500 --> 31:43.905
What about where we live?
31:43.906 --> 31:45.337
Isn't this part of the world, too?
31:46.193 --> 31:47.657
The world isn't outside us.
31:48.139 --> 31:49.146
It's within.
31:52.027 --> 31:53.665
Let me speak with him.
31:58.657 --> 31:59.811
Come, son.
32:06.353 --> 32:07.360
John...
32:08.593 --> 32:10.290
Tobin...
32:11.579 --> 32:12.976
He's an idiot.
32:13.933 --> 32:15.951
Politics isn't for him.
32:16.959 --> 32:17.966
But you...
32:18.527 --> 32:19.772
You're my son...
32:21.273 --> 32:22.459
You've got my genes.
32:23.973 --> 32:25.774
My successor...
32:27.813 --> 32:29.999
But now, you're just trying to run away
32:30.272 --> 32:31.333
from yourself.
32:32.209 --> 32:33.216
Dad, you know...
32:33.443 --> 32:35.548
I'm not meant for all this power politics.
32:36.608 --> 32:38.049
My interests are different.
32:38.583 --> 32:41.248
The things I want to do are different too.
32:41.677 --> 32:44.360
I won't stand against your decision, dear.
32:45.663 --> 32:47.139
After my BA exams,
32:47.459 --> 32:49.905
my father asked me to
join him at his fertiliser shop.
32:50.863 --> 32:52.649
I couldn't bring myself to say no to him,
32:52.823 --> 32:54.523
so I just stood there, confused.
32:54.783 --> 32:57.163
The very next day I left for Trivandrum.
32:57.903 --> 32:59.378
The next time I went home was
32:59.642 --> 33:01.287
after I became the Youth President.
33:04.697 --> 33:05.932
Go to bed.
33:06.737 --> 33:09.814
And pour me a drink
tomorrow night too, alright?
33:18.491 --> 33:19.612
- John...
- Hm?
33:19.920 --> 33:21.967
Are you hiding something from me?
33:22.815 --> 33:24.955
Something related to
your professional life?
33:28.056 --> 33:29.843
Weren't you the one who said
33:29.844 --> 33:31.591
you didn't want to know about the deal?
33:32.149 --> 33:34.388
I wasn't asking you
how much money you made.
33:37.769 --> 33:38.776
It's alright.
33:39.188 --> 33:41.094
No matter how much you love your partner,
33:41.095 --> 33:43.327
there'll always be some things
you can't share.
33:44.707 --> 33:46.827
Just make sure that
when it all comes out someday,
33:46.828 --> 33:48.556
the other person isn't hurt too much.
33:51.365 --> 33:52.372
Hey...
33:54.094 --> 33:55.207
Don't say anything.
34:17.173 --> 34:18.649
Thank you for inviting me here.
34:19.059 --> 34:20.176
Truly, it's an honour.
34:20.746 --> 34:23.579
You're all waiting to hear about
my success story.
34:24.333 --> 34:25.846
But am I successful?
34:26.707 --> 34:27.850
Honestly,
34:28.067 --> 34:29.073
I don't know.
34:29.653 --> 34:32.252
If my success is starting a start-up
34:32.253 --> 34:34.878
and selling it to a
multinational corporation,
34:35.020 --> 34:36.027
then I agree.
34:36.493 --> 34:38.833
Success can sometimes be defined by your
34:38.920 --> 34:40.766
designation or pay package.
34:41.453 --> 34:43.058
But is that really it?
34:44.073 --> 34:45.820
No matter how many steps you climb,
34:45.922 --> 34:47.533
there will always be more.
34:47.839 --> 34:50.339
The corporate hierarchy
is an infinite ladder.
34:50.967 --> 34:53.425
I feel that a success story begins
34:53.426 --> 34:56.596
when your life touches the lives of others.
34:57.140 --> 34:59.980
That's why the salt Gandhi made back then
35:00.225 --> 35:03.704
still has more value than
the branded ones by Tata or Ambani.
35:04.486 --> 35:05.516
Because...
35:05.517 --> 35:06.740
it was the salt of freedom,
35:07.006 --> 35:07.964
not of slavery.
35:09.407 --> 35:11.117
Were Gandhiji, Nehru,
35:11.407 --> 35:12.621
EMS and AKG
35:13.133 --> 35:14.220
successful men?
35:15.033 --> 35:16.197
Or were they failures?
35:16.620 --> 35:18.520
The ones branded as failures are sometimes
35:18.653 --> 35:19.660
the real winners.
35:19.853 --> 35:21.224
And the so-called great winners...
35:21.225 --> 35:22.399
carry the greatest failures.
35:28.533 --> 35:30.204
Hey, I'm outside the Secretariat.
35:30.205 --> 35:32.690
There's no parking here.
The cops will nab me. Come fast.
35:33.017 --> 35:34.962
Come here, dear. I’ll get it for you later
35:36.017 --> 35:37.871
Sister, such a good bike, right?
35:37.872 --> 35:39.086
Hey, don't touch it!
35:39.087 --> 35:40.635
- Let me touch it once.
- No, mom will scold us.
35:40.636 --> 35:41.721
Here, have this.
35:41.722 --> 35:42.831
No, thanks.
35:42.832 --> 35:44.067
Come on.
35:53.104 --> 35:54.651
Your speech was superb.
35:54.652 --> 35:56.978
It's all over Instagram, stories and reels.
35:57.142 --> 35:59.564
Some even shared it on FB and X.
35:59.697 --> 36:01.120
Did you really like it?
36:01.121 --> 36:03.573
Your usual weird, cringe stuff...
as always.
36:03.574 --> 36:06.386
But beyond that, I sensed honesty in it.
36:06.387 --> 36:07.511
Oho!
36:10.176 --> 36:11.340
We don't need this, sir.
36:11.933 --> 36:14.440
If the children ask for it tomorrow,
where will I get it from?
36:14.565 --> 36:18.096
We're not sitting here
to receive sweets once in a while.
36:18.972 --> 36:19.980
Sorry, chechi.
36:30.855 --> 36:33.080
We can't blame her.
36:33.081 --> 36:35.924
They've been living in that hut
for 151 days now, as part of the protest.
36:35.925 --> 36:37.377
Talk to your father.
36:37.378 --> 36:38.940
Ask him to arrange a job for her.
36:42.323 --> 36:43.347
I'll try.
36:50.707 --> 36:53.245
Didn't I organise
all this just two days ago?
36:53.448 --> 36:55.402
You've messed it up again.
36:55.519 --> 36:57.134
Only then you'll keep coming back here.
36:59.347 --> 37:01.542
So, John, you're leaving tomorrow?
37:02.769 --> 37:03.777
When exactly?
37:04.058 --> 37:05.066
In two months...
37:06.957 --> 37:09.768
If Rosa comes with me, then Comrade, you...
37:09.769 --> 37:10.822
Hey, no.
37:10.823 --> 37:12.073
Don't even think like that.
37:12.847 --> 37:15.011
I enjoy being alone.
37:18.113 --> 37:19.121
It's just that...
37:20.371 --> 37:21.379
once she leaves,
37:21.933 --> 37:23.996
this room will stay messy forever.
37:28.730 --> 37:29.738
John...
37:30.324 --> 37:32.665
I've been criticising your father
quite strongly.
37:33.472 --> 37:35.274
He's heading down a dangerous path.
37:35.800 --> 37:38.056
He's become synonymous with corruption.
37:39.027 --> 37:42.040
After all, you once raised
our party's slogans.
37:42.558 --> 37:44.415
Can't you talk
to your father at least once?
37:44.603 --> 37:46.955
Comrade, no one can correct my father.
37:47.457 --> 37:49.126
He listens only to himself.
37:49.855 --> 37:50.863
Hmm...
37:51.316 --> 37:53.697
In a way, it's good
that you two are moving away.
37:53.957 --> 37:55.736
The conflict in our politics
37:55.737 --> 37:57.479
could spill into your personal lives...
37:57.480 --> 37:59.785
if not today, then tomorrow.
38:04.479 --> 38:05.823
No, get up, dear.
38:08.222 --> 38:09.535
Tomorrow...
38:10.183 --> 38:11.488
I'm busy tomorrow.
38:11.489 --> 38:13.057
I'm not sure I can make it.
38:13.058 --> 38:14.103
That's why I came today.
38:14.104 --> 38:16.486
You came and blessed my daughter, sir.
38:16.612 --> 38:17.987
That itself is more than enough.
38:18.268 --> 38:19.276
Paappachan...
38:23.503 --> 38:24.969
- Did you like it?
- Thank you.
38:28.894 --> 38:31.769
After the wedding,
come and see me with your groom.
38:32.214 --> 38:33.680
Alright, I'll take my leave.
38:33.902 --> 38:34.910
God bless.
38:46.476 --> 38:48.772
Your flight is at 12.30 tomorrow, right?
38:48.773 --> 38:50.411
I asked you to come along so that
38:50.412 --> 38:52.512
I could spend some time with you.
38:53.515 --> 38:56.356
So, how does it feel
sitting in the No. 1 State car?
38:57.151 --> 38:58.937
Too many jerks and jolts.
38:58.938 --> 39:00.091
Not smooth at all.
39:00.532 --> 39:02.594
Good. That was sharp.
39:03.032 --> 39:04.671
Your visit to the bride's house
39:04.672 --> 39:06.991
will be in your own paper tomorrow, Dad.
39:06.992 --> 39:09.794
"Minister Blesses,
Rahel Smiles With Gratitude."
39:10.359 --> 39:11.887
I didn't do it for publicity.
39:12.758 --> 39:15.270
I've known Rahel for thirty years.
39:15.672 --> 39:17.622
I made her sweeper job permanent.
39:17.921 --> 39:19.746
She's been through a lot.
39:24.633 --> 39:27.982
Then why can't you give a job
to the woman protesting at the Secretariat?
39:27.983 --> 39:29.052
No.
39:29.213 --> 39:31.541
She's filed six cases
against the government.
39:32.217 --> 39:34.139
Let her sit there with her hut.
39:34.725 --> 39:37.173
Why hold such grudges
against people like her, Dad?
39:37.174 --> 39:38.182
I will!
39:38.501 --> 39:40.663
I'll show love and compassion
where it's due.
39:40.924 --> 39:43.171
And I show vengeance
where that's deserved too.
39:44.577 --> 39:48.260
The Nedumbassery land case verdict
is tomorrow, right?
39:48.527 --> 39:50.070
Will you have to resign?
39:51.947 --> 39:53.847
Oh, I've resigned
countless times already!
39:53.848 --> 39:56.020
What do you even know about Varghese?
39:57.416 --> 39:59.380
A thief. A bloody thief!
40:00.642 --> 40:01.650
Get lost!
40:24.150 --> 40:25.158
John,
40:26.205 --> 40:27.962
there's a Cabinet meeting tomorrow morning.
40:27.963 --> 40:31.841
The Vigilance Court
will deliver a favourable verdict.
40:33.408 --> 40:37.614
Then a live interview
to flaunt my moral high ground.
40:38.196 --> 40:40.231
With Aravindan from On Time News.
40:41.174 --> 40:45.096
He's been abusing me
for the last three years.
40:46.174 --> 40:48.333
Tomorrow, I'll tear him apart.
40:50.150 --> 40:52.955
There are no individuals in politics,
40:53.971 --> 40:55.653
only images and perceptions.
40:58.985 --> 41:01.131
Your father's ‘man of the people' act,
41:01.500 --> 41:03.508
the mass contact programmes,
41:04.033 --> 41:05.716
skipped meals, odd eating hours,
41:06.835 --> 41:08.307
my smiles,
41:08.549 --> 41:10.619
my hand on every shoulder,
41:10.846 --> 41:13.038
forcing supporters into cars...
41:14.233 --> 41:16.471
that's the performance
the media and public crave.
41:17.221 --> 41:20.796
The trick is knowing that,
and using it well.
41:21.111 --> 41:24.155
Dad, isn't all this just dishonesty?
41:25.111 --> 41:26.897
Haven't you ever felt regret, Dad?
41:27.275 --> 41:29.530
Even a sting of conscience?
41:31.518 --> 41:34.205
You only see your father's flaws.
41:34.595 --> 41:35.944
That's why you're asking this.
41:36.674 --> 41:38.734
Thousands like Rahel,
the woman we met earlier...
41:38.735 --> 41:40.009
there are many like her.
41:40.010 --> 41:44.180
I see their pain and wipe their tears.
41:45.697 --> 41:48.225
There are no black cats around your father.
41:49.033 --> 41:50.041
Only people.
41:51.268 --> 41:54.522
Anyone can approach me anytime
with their problems.
41:54.830 --> 41:56.272
If it's something I can fix, I will.
41:56.783 --> 41:58.460
I don't bother too much of the law then.
41:59.252 --> 42:00.671
When I do a hundred wrongs,
42:00.846 --> 42:02.491
I also do a hundred rights.
42:03.619 --> 42:04.970
And when I lie down to sleep,
42:04.971 --> 42:07.117
I only count the rights.
42:07.118 --> 42:08.461
In my head, I go...
42:08.462 --> 42:11.283
one, two, three, four...
42:11.658 --> 42:12.725
Bam!
42:12.726 --> 42:14.360
And I fall into deep sleep.
42:15.188 --> 42:18.900
But tonight, I will struggle to sleep.
42:20.080 --> 42:23.135
You leaving...
drifting further and further away...
42:24.064 --> 42:25.781
I couldn't sleep.
42:26.580 --> 42:28.798
It hurts... really badly.
42:31.721 --> 42:33.955
How often will we even...
42:34.782 --> 42:36.829
get to see each other like this in life?
42:47.816 --> 42:51.716
"Salutations to CM K. N. Varghese,
purified through trials of fire."
42:51.888 --> 42:55.158
Sloganeering:
Salutations! Salutations!
42:59.018 --> 43:00.688
In the Nedumbassery land deal case,
43:00.689 --> 43:03.002
CM K. N. Varghese
has been cleared of all charges.
43:03.003 --> 43:05.573
The Muvattupuzha Vigilance Court
delivered the verdict.
43:05.574 --> 43:08.259
The ruling came after
a three-and-a-half-year trial.
43:08.260 --> 43:10.703
And with that, Varghese
emerges stronger in the ruling front.
43:10.704 --> 43:12.070
Dad's scored again.
43:12.260 --> 43:14.571
Won't you call your father
before boarding?
43:14.572 --> 43:15.752
Of course.
43:16.455 --> 43:19.048
Dear, don't feel bad that
I'm not coming to the airport.
43:19.049 --> 43:20.735
It's Sally aunty's housewarming today.
43:20.736 --> 43:21.768
If I don't go...
43:21.769 --> 43:23.440
Chechi, it's okay. Don't worry.
43:24.148 --> 43:27.064
All this drama and Amma's tears
feel like I'm leaving forever.
43:27.065 --> 43:28.140
Shut up!
43:28.141 --> 43:31.165
Mom, it's St. Petersburg,
instead of Bangalore. That's all.
43:31.166 --> 43:33.344
I'll visit every three or four months.
43:33.492 --> 43:35.680
Or why don't you come along
when Rosa comes there?
43:35.681 --> 43:39.141
Vodka, Russian ballet...
we'll have a blast!
43:39.782 --> 43:42.546
I won't go anywhere without your father.
43:42.799 --> 43:45.907
It's okay if you don't call me every day,
but do call him.
43:46.174 --> 43:48.548
He's crazy about you.
43:48.549 --> 43:50.586
So you're not crazy about me, Annamma?
43:50.751 --> 43:52.187
Enough. Leave for the airport now.
44:01.760 --> 44:04.485
We're having a celebration
and a meeting for Dad's victory.
44:04.486 --> 44:06.523
I just came to see you
before you leave.
44:06.524 --> 44:07.727
Call once you reach.
44:07.728 --> 44:08.877
Have a blast!
44:09.650 --> 44:10.791
Brother...
44:12.330 --> 44:14.789
Spend some quality time with Dad.
44:16.087 --> 44:17.383
He likes that.
44:17.744 --> 44:18.752
I'll try.
44:19.602 --> 44:21.617
He doesn't like me much.
44:23.057 --> 44:24.422
But he's going to miss you.
44:26.367 --> 44:27.375
Take care.
44:42.713 --> 44:44.188
Greetings, CM. Congratulations.
44:44.797 --> 44:46.188
A brilliant verdict.
44:46.189 --> 44:47.197
Thank you.
44:47.338 --> 44:49.515
You and your channel
crucified me relentlessly
44:49.516 --> 44:51.006
over this corruption case.
44:51.007 --> 44:53.733
So I thought...
let's draw the curtain here.
44:53.734 --> 44:55.077
Despite all our criticism,
44:55.078 --> 44:57.805
your media-friendly attitude
commands respect.
44:58.119 --> 45:00.784
Today's Face to Face
is my tribute to you.
45:00.785 --> 45:02.211
- Please, come in.
- Thank you.
45:12.441 --> 45:13.855
Hello.
45:13.981 --> 45:15.239
- Thank you.
- Okay.
45:19.907 --> 45:21.274
Alright, you may leave now.
45:22.838 --> 45:25.806
Isn't Rosa Luxemburg
suffering from pain of separation?
45:25.807 --> 45:26.814
Not at all.
45:26.978 --> 45:28.040
Oh!
45:28.041 --> 45:29.049
Alright then!
45:30.954 --> 45:32.102
John...
45:32.384 --> 45:35.338
I know you won’t remember me
once the Russian girls enter the frame.
45:35.339 --> 45:38.322
But at least remember Lenin,
still lying there in the dust.
45:38.623 --> 45:40.327
The Russians aren’t what they used to be.
45:40.454 --> 45:41.742
Most are class enemies.
45:41.743 --> 45:43.336
Don't have any alliance with them.
45:43.337 --> 45:45.228
Well... I'll try!
45:45.385 --> 45:47.782
The Kerala CM has
no political influence in Russia.
45:47.783 --> 45:48.791
Copy that.
45:49.455 --> 45:51.251
- Lal Salaam!
- Lal Salaam!
45:55.689 --> 45:56.837
Bye, Pappachan Chettan.
45:56.838 --> 45:57.846
Oh...
45:58.127 --> 45:59.750
Fix a drink for my father once in a while.
45:59.751 --> 46:01.626
He drinks only with you, dear.
46:02.048 --> 46:03.056
Okay.
46:11.322 --> 46:12.710
Listen, Aravindan.
46:13.015 --> 46:14.804
In the last four years,
46:14.805 --> 46:17.657
how many corruption allegations
were hurled at me?
46:18.010 --> 46:19.018
At least one...
46:19.494 --> 46:22.416
Did you manage to prove
even a single one?
46:22.643 --> 46:23.650
No, CM.
46:23.791 --> 46:26.577
Today, the court has declared
me not guilty.
46:27.376 --> 46:29.506
Did journalists like you
46:29.507 --> 46:32.093
show even an ounce of remorse
for your earlier stance?
46:32.650 --> 46:34.460
When an allegation surfaces,
46:34.632 --> 46:36.163
debates rage day and night!
46:36.882 --> 46:38.264
When I'm acquitted,
46:38.265 --> 46:39.874
it's a ten-minute scroll.
46:40.040 --> 46:41.663
Is that fair, Aravindan?
46:42.405 --> 46:43.970
Constant criticism,
46:43.971 --> 46:45.384
constant suspicion,
46:45.385 --> 46:46.749
constant questions...
46:46.874 --> 46:49.344
Isn't that exactly
a journalist's job, CM?
46:49.510 --> 46:50.518
Absolutely!
46:50.697 --> 46:54.726
But criticism shouldn't come
with an agenda.
46:55.640 --> 46:57.165
It must come from conviction.
46:57.166 --> 46:58.725
I accept that criticism, CM.
46:58.726 --> 47:02.569
So you firmly believe
this government will continue?
47:03.279 --> 47:05.438
Even the opposition believes that.
47:05.588 --> 47:06.799
Alright, CM.
47:07.367 --> 47:09.397
We'll return after a short break.
47:11.955 --> 47:13.204
Sir, you're on fire.
47:13.205 --> 47:14.959
You're not giving me
any space to defend.
47:14.960 --> 47:15.849
Oh...
47:15.850 --> 47:17.387
I give strong answers
47:17.388 --> 47:19.509
only because you ask
strong questions, Aravindan.
47:19.510 --> 47:21.665
May I make a call?
47:21.666 --> 47:22.674
Yeah, sure.
47:29.251 --> 47:30.286
Hello.
47:30.287 --> 47:31.602
Did you check in?
47:31.603 --> 47:32.611
Yes.
47:32.697 --> 47:33.813
And congratulations!
47:34.605 --> 47:36.355
You got the verdict you wanted.
47:37.135 --> 47:39.668
Okay. I'll call after the interview.
47:39.770 --> 47:41.446
Alright. I'm watching it live.
47:41.447 --> 47:42.455
Okay.
47:44.293 --> 47:45.885
That was my younger son.
47:46.002 --> 47:49.025
He's flying to St. Petersburg today
for some assignment.
47:49.142 --> 47:50.149
Let's begin, sir.
47:50.244 --> 47:52.091
We have a sharp ten minutes left.
47:52.092 --> 47:53.614
Of course. Let's start.
47:54.110 --> 47:56.696
Three... Two... One...
47:56.697 --> 47:57.661
Go!
47:57.662 --> 48:00.552
CM, I'm now raising
a very serious issue.
48:02.114 --> 48:03.807
A grave allegation
48:03.808 --> 48:06.402
never before reported by any media.
48:07.419 --> 48:09.513
In fact, it's not just an allegation.
48:09.514 --> 48:12.333
It's a victim's desperate plea.
48:13.350 --> 48:15.009
I'm presenting it to you now.
48:15.796 --> 48:16.803
What is it?
48:16.897 --> 48:18.259
Please watch the video, sir.
48:19.974 --> 48:21.613
My company has permission
48:21.614 --> 48:23.340
to import white sand.
48:23.560 --> 48:26.408
To use it at the construction site,
48:26.409 --> 48:27.941
government clearance is required.
48:27.942 --> 48:30.585
I personally met the CM several times.
48:31.090 --> 48:32.643
Where did you meet him?
48:33.379 --> 48:35.198
At his office.
48:38.747 --> 48:41.293
When nothing moved,
48:41.294 --> 48:42.745
I called the CM directly.
48:43.099 --> 48:45.880
He asked me to come to his residence
48:46.021 --> 48:47.643
on the 23rd, after 7 PM.
48:47.833 --> 48:48.841
Did you go?
48:49.505 --> 48:50.513
Yes.
48:51.114 --> 48:52.122
Alone?
48:52.301 --> 48:54.206
My driver came with me,
48:54.318 --> 48:55.909
but stayed in the car.
48:57.075 --> 48:58.247
When I went inside,
48:58.248 --> 49:00.488
Pappachan Chettan told me
the CM was in his room
49:00.489 --> 49:01.770
and asked me to go in.
49:02.796 --> 49:03.803
I entered that room.
49:04.373 --> 49:05.381
Then...
49:06.051 --> 49:07.379
What happened next...
49:08.436 --> 49:10.060
What nonsense is this?
49:10.061 --> 49:11.411
It's not over yet, CM.
49:13.647 --> 49:15.694
There... he forcefully...
49:17.960 --> 49:21.059
That wasn't the man
the world knew.
49:22.288 --> 49:23.559
He threatened me.
49:24.905 --> 49:26.372
I was terrified.
49:27.294 --> 49:28.512
He...
49:28.741 --> 49:30.964
Are you saying
49:30.965 --> 49:33.132
the CM threatened
and sexually exploited you?
49:34.202 --> 49:35.210
Yes.
49:43.334 --> 49:45.379
Please don't misunderstand,
49:45.688 --> 49:48.348
didn't you scream or resist?
49:48.547 --> 49:51.811
You can never understand
that kind of intimidation.
49:52.695 --> 49:54.092
I was completely shattered.
49:54.696 --> 49:57.654
I stayed silent, fearing humiliation.
49:58.274 --> 49:59.693
I was cheated...
50:01.227 --> 50:02.365
in every way.
50:02.805 --> 50:05.818
The trauma became unbearable.
50:06.368 --> 50:07.584
Finally, I decided...
50:08.195 --> 50:11.500
the world must see
the real face of CM Varghese.
50:12.000 --> 50:14.717
That's why I spoke out.
50:15.563 --> 50:16.571
I want justice.
50:17.203 --> 50:19.014
I'll go to any extent for it.
50:19.258 --> 50:20.327
What?
50:20.328 --> 50:21.639
What rubbish is this?
50:21.804 --> 50:23.718
Would anyone who knows me
believe this?
50:23.719 --> 50:25.123
Nisha Chandrakumar.
50:25.539 --> 50:27.820
She insisted that when this footage airs,
50:27.821 --> 50:30.592
her face must not be masked
and her name stated clearly.
50:30.750 --> 50:32.282
You know her, CM?
50:32.391 --> 50:33.436
Yes.
50:33.437 --> 50:35.234
Many approach me with grievances.
50:35.235 --> 50:36.299
She was one of them.
50:36.300 --> 50:39.031
Her issue had legal complications.
50:39.032 --> 50:40.562
And her allegation?
50:40.758 --> 50:41.843
That's my question.
50:41.844 --> 50:44.218
Would anyone who knows me believe it?
50:44.391 --> 50:46.351
Aravindan, do you believe this?
50:46.352 --> 50:48.927
This isn't about my belief, CM.
50:49.059 --> 50:53.242
It's for you to prove
the allegation is false.
50:53.766 --> 50:54.774
Only you.
50:54.969 --> 50:55.977
That's the law.
50:56.825 --> 51:01.131
Two things must be established.
51:01.132 --> 51:02.929
When and where.
51:03.633 --> 51:06.906
That date is recorded in my diary.
51:07.133 --> 51:08.211
You may verify it.
51:08.212 --> 51:09.695
We already did, CM.
51:09.696 --> 51:12.545
You were at your residence
from 6.30 PM onward.
51:12.546 --> 51:13.554
You didn't step out.
51:13.640 --> 51:15.914
Your family was at a wedding reception
51:15.915 --> 51:18.765
in Kottayam that evening.
51:18.961 --> 51:21.356
Only your personal staff were present.
51:21.545 --> 51:24.688
I have never met this woman
51:24.689 --> 51:26.777
at my residence.
51:27.321 --> 51:28.687
She's lying.
51:28.688 --> 51:30.137
Then look at this.
51:52.774 --> 51:56.472
These visuals show her
entering your residence
51:56.473 --> 51:59.605
and speaking to your aide, Pappachan.
51:59.842 --> 52:04.132
Her driver recorded this randomly as proof.
52:04.538 --> 52:07.523
We verified the date and time.
52:07.524 --> 52:09.625
Both are accurate.
52:13.125 --> 52:14.579
Which means, CM...
52:14.580 --> 52:15.993
you lied...
52:16.874 --> 52:18.819
to the people of this state.
52:38.312 --> 52:40.388
Kerala's Chief Minister lied
52:40.389 --> 52:43.171
while denying a sexual assault allegation.
52:43.788 --> 52:45.169
In solidarity with the survivor!
52:45.170 --> 52:48.053
That is our channel's stand.
52:48.929 --> 52:51.742
So the answer to your earlier question...
52:51.992 --> 52:53.763
We don't believe you, CM.
52:54.423 --> 52:55.929
And it won't stop with me.
52:55.930 --> 52:58.873
The public will think the same.
52:59.140 --> 53:00.755
When you rule this state
53:00.756 --> 53:04.389
as its sole authority and supreme ruler
in all its pride,
53:04.608 --> 53:06.615
will the police under your command
53:06.616 --> 53:10.077
investigate a crime
the victim says you committed?
53:10.210 --> 53:14.342
Who will ensure
that helpless woman gets justice?
53:14.936 --> 53:17.444
That's for you to answer,
Honourable Chief Minister of Kerala.
53:17.882 --> 53:20.787
The state now awaits for your response.
53:30.722 --> 53:33.638
An impartial investigation
will be conducted.
53:33.913 --> 53:35.725
I'll ensure it.
53:36.788 --> 53:39.444
After this, I'll meet
the Party President
53:39.680 --> 53:41.180
and then address the public.
53:50.207 --> 53:52.409
In the wake of the assault allegation
53:52.410 --> 53:54.488
against CM Varghese Antony,
53:54.489 --> 53:56.992
he is heading to meet
Party President Purushothaman.
53:56.993 --> 53:59.141
For sure this may signal resignation.
53:59.254 --> 54:00.394
Yes!
54:00.395 --> 54:03.277
Kerala CM Varghese Antony is resigning!
54:07.066 --> 54:10.199
A historic victory
for fearless journalism.
54:32.390 --> 54:33.888
Pappachan...
54:34.303 --> 54:35.311
Water.
54:37.258 --> 54:39.461
"Rapist CM, step down!"
54:43.420 --> 54:45.531
Kerala Chief Minister KN Varghese
54:45.532 --> 54:47.872
is facing serious allegations
of sexual misconduct.
54:48.000 --> 54:50.903
This is the biggest riot
Kerala has ever witnessed,
54:50.904 --> 54:53.092
with CPNM activists in a state of rage.
54:53.525 --> 54:55.864
One question on everyone's mind.
54:56.066 --> 55:00.522
Widespread protests by CPNM members
erupt across the state.
55:00.523 --> 55:02.960
Although the Chief Minister
attempted to deny the allegations
55:02.961 --> 55:04.797
by trying to bury the truth,
55:04.798 --> 55:06.948
it was On Time News'
careful and responsible reporting
55:06.949 --> 55:08.860
reporting that brought
many hidden facts to light.
55:08.968 --> 55:11.055
Sir, it's best that the
CM doesn't come here now.
55:11.843 --> 55:13.597
There's a chance of mob violence.
55:14.416 --> 55:15.543
Sir...
55:15.544 --> 55:16.657
Yes, sir.
55:17.344 --> 55:19.547
What can I do?
CM's already on his way.
55:19.548 --> 55:20.736
Control the crowd.
55:23.912 --> 55:24.962
Move!
55:24.963 --> 55:26.830
Come on! Move! Clear the way!
56:05.814 --> 56:07.025
I’ll meet you.
56:07.486 --> 56:08.947
I won’t leave without seeing you.
56:11.372 --> 56:12.406
Oh, no! Sir!
56:12.606 --> 56:13.732
Sir...
56:20.683 --> 56:22.223
Start the car.
56:24.524 --> 56:25.844
Start the car!
56:36.453 --> 56:37.917
What a useless police force!
56:37.918 --> 56:39.417
Is this how you protect a CM?
56:39.418 --> 56:41.135
Step back! Move!
56:42.077 --> 56:43.675
Today is a dark day in
56:43.676 --> 56:45.056
the history of democracy.
56:45.227 --> 56:48.025
After a sexual allegation
was made against him
56:48.026 --> 56:50.669
during an interview with a media outlet,
56:50.670 --> 56:55.077
KN Varghese was ready to
resign immediately.
56:55.344 --> 56:57.165
For the wounds he suffered here today,
56:57.297 --> 56:58.632
for the blood that was spilled,
56:58.744 --> 57:00.499
we will seek retribution.
57:00.650 --> 57:02.186
Sir, will the CM resign immediately?
57:02.456 --> 57:03.550
Yes, he will.
57:25.537 --> 57:26.959
- Aunty...
- Yes?
57:27.070 --> 57:28.149
I had gone to your house.
57:28.150 --> 57:30.135
But a lady there told me you'd be here.
57:30.290 --> 57:31.430
That's why I came here.
57:32.217 --> 57:33.626
Who are you, son?
57:33.844 --> 57:35.640
- Aunty, don't you recognise me?
- No.
57:35.815 --> 57:36.844
I'm Vinod.
57:37.411 --> 57:39.049
I worked here about ten years ago.
57:39.050 --> 57:40.517
For... almost six months.
57:41.745 --> 57:43.205
Then, sir took me abroad.
57:43.753 --> 57:46.246
Sir asked me to give this to you.
57:46.650 --> 57:48.136
- That's why I came.
- Alright.
57:48.137 --> 57:50.381
I'm leaving now, aunty.
My wife just gave birth...
57:50.610 --> 57:52.327
to a daughter...
I need to go and see them.
57:53.167 --> 57:55.344
Ah, today is Makam.
That's a good star for girls.
57:55.470 --> 57:57.263
- That's right.
- It's a lucky star.
57:57.264 --> 57:58.437
- Alright, then.
- Okay, bye.
58:02.335 --> 58:03.381
DUBAI
58:03.382 --> 58:06.361
Yeah, you can look around 600 million
as an initial investment.
58:07.500 --> 58:08.507
Excuse me.
58:10.333 --> 58:11.400
Tell me, Vinod.
58:11.401 --> 58:12.969
I've handed it over to your mother.
58:12.970 --> 58:13.977
Alright.
58:14.274 --> 58:15.989
By the way, I heard you've had a daughter.
58:15.990 --> 58:16.997
Yes, sir.
58:17.170 --> 58:18.896
She's got a gift coming from me.
58:18.897 --> 58:20.047
Thank you, sir. Thank you.
58:48.531 --> 58:53.743
Yes! World's biggest casino will be
opening by 2027 in Alberto island.
58:53.744 --> 58:55.228
The whole world will be here.
59:15.688 --> 59:18.485
P... E... N!
59:18.634 --> 59:19.923
- Pen!
- Aha!
59:20.297 --> 59:21.748
What are you doing, dear?
59:22.244 --> 59:23.889
- Are you studying?
- Mm...
59:24.586 --> 59:26.262
She has quite a lot of homework to do.
59:26.263 --> 59:28.001
Come, let's go inside and complete it.
59:38.264 --> 59:39.270
Here.
59:45.231 --> 59:46.569
Aren't you taking a bath?
59:48.209 --> 59:49.338
Annamma...
59:49.504 --> 59:50.510
You must've heard...
59:51.364 --> 59:52.750
I've given in my resignation.
59:53.944 --> 59:55.389
Why are you upset?
59:55.750 --> 59:57.181
Don't I know you?
01:00:01.717 --> 01:00:03.405
At least you could've told me...
01:00:03.497 --> 01:00:04.943
he'd cancelled his trip.
01:00:04.944 --> 01:00:06.440
I told Mom not to tell you.
01:00:06.748 --> 01:00:08.375
Thought I'd give you a little surprise.
01:00:08.376 --> 01:00:09.962
You shouldn't have cancelled your trip.
01:00:10.090 --> 01:00:11.554
If you don't arrive on time,
01:00:11.717 --> 01:00:13.644
won't things get held up?
01:00:14.070 --> 01:00:16.041
Oh, that's manageable for a few weeks.
01:00:16.209 --> 01:00:17.401
Dad, go freshen up and come.
01:00:17.402 --> 01:00:18.576
Let's have a drink.
01:00:18.729 --> 01:00:19.736
Okay?
01:00:38.010 --> 01:00:39.428
Why aren't you drinking, Dad?
01:00:55.354 --> 01:00:56.697
Two stitches.
01:00:58.060 --> 01:01:00.799
I've taken lathi blows, pushes
and pulls from the police before.
01:01:00.800 --> 01:01:02.696
It's the first time
I've been hit by a stone.
01:01:03.234 --> 01:01:04.687
They arrested the guy.
01:01:05.007 --> 01:01:06.014
Oh...
01:01:06.307 --> 01:01:08.564
I told the DIG not to charge him
with anything major.
01:01:09.154 --> 01:01:11.261
The fellow did what
any spirited young man would do
01:01:11.262 --> 01:01:13.063
if he got his hands on a chief minister
01:01:13.594 --> 01:01:16.667
who assaulted a woman
at his official residence.
01:01:17.873 --> 01:01:21.863
Why did you lie about that woman
not coming here?
01:01:22.720 --> 01:01:25.334
When they started showing her footage,
01:01:25.626 --> 01:01:26.999
I got anxious.
01:01:27.933 --> 01:01:31.233
I realised the interview was a trap.
01:01:32.107 --> 01:01:33.945
I thought denying it in the interview...
01:01:33.946 --> 01:01:35.988
saying she never came here would be enough
01:01:36.888 --> 01:01:38.573
and I could just prove it later.
01:01:38.574 --> 01:01:41.100
I thought I could manipulate it
and manage it.
01:01:41.903 --> 01:01:46.178
I've dealt with crises the same way before.
01:01:46.939 --> 01:01:47.946
But...
01:01:48.034 --> 01:01:49.040
this time...
01:01:49.534 --> 01:01:50.540
I failed.
01:01:52.320 --> 01:01:54.893
I met her here for barely ten minutes.
01:01:56.080 --> 01:01:58.881
I consoled and told her
I'd do what was needed and sent her back.
01:01:59.600 --> 01:02:01.815
Son, I've done many bad things...
01:02:02.686 --> 01:02:03.887
But this...
01:02:04.014 --> 01:02:05.020
this I didn't do.
01:02:05.994 --> 01:02:07.620
Do you really think I'd do this?
01:02:09.167 --> 01:02:10.174
Dad...
01:02:10.306 --> 01:02:11.313
What is this?
01:02:12.779 --> 01:02:13.786
I am with you.
01:02:16.147 --> 01:02:17.153
Let's face it...
01:02:19.414 --> 01:02:20.420
Right?
01:02:20.960 --> 01:02:22.346
Not just face it.
01:02:22.974 --> 01:02:24.187
You should fight it, Dad.
01:02:24.474 --> 01:02:25.614
We must fight.
01:02:27.887 --> 01:02:29.965
We need to find who set you up.
01:02:30.661 --> 01:02:31.927
Then finish them...
01:02:32.060 --> 01:02:33.203
in the usual Varghese style.
01:02:33.366 --> 01:02:34.373
Okay?
01:02:35.240 --> 01:02:37.107
Even the biggest corruption charges
01:02:37.785 --> 01:02:38.964
can be survived.
01:02:39.400 --> 01:02:40.431
But...
01:02:40.432 --> 01:02:42.182
when it comes to cases involving women...
01:02:42.183 --> 01:02:43.756
the stain never washes off.
01:02:44.447 --> 01:02:46.111
Even after you die,
01:02:46.112 --> 01:02:47.499
while lying in a freezer,
01:02:47.500 --> 01:02:50.241
people will see only that stain.
01:02:55.707 --> 01:02:56.827
Tobin is lying inside,
01:02:56.920 --> 01:02:58.427
unconscious and drunk.
01:02:59.374 --> 01:03:02.754
He told Mom
that his political future was over.
01:03:03.734 --> 01:03:06.334
He must find it hard to face me.
01:03:08.180 --> 01:03:09.683
When you stand with me like this,
01:03:10.387 --> 01:03:11.610
I feel strong.
01:03:12.934 --> 01:03:13.940
Let's fight.
01:03:17.060 --> 01:03:18.242
That's my dad.
01:03:22.023 --> 01:03:23.030
Goodnight, Dad.
01:03:23.147 --> 01:03:24.405
Goodnight, dear.
01:03:32.758 --> 01:03:34.034
I was cheated...
01:03:34.649 --> 01:03:36.204
A grave allegation...
01:03:36.768 --> 01:03:38.593
There... he forcefully...
01:03:39.387 --> 01:03:40.967
- Yes...
- Which means, CM...
01:03:41.193 --> 01:03:42.610
you lied...
01:03:44.196 --> 01:03:45.393
to the people of this state.
01:03:45.394 --> 01:03:46.395
Wake up, John...
01:03:46.618 --> 01:03:47.624
John! Get up!
01:03:48.663 --> 01:03:50.210
John, wake up...
01:03:50.211 --> 01:03:51.457
John... get up please!
01:03:51.569 --> 01:03:52.601
What's wrong?
01:03:52.602 --> 01:03:54.162
Just come with me...
01:03:54.612 --> 01:03:55.551
What's the matter?
01:04:11.232 --> 01:04:13.359
Wake up, dear...
01:04:28.246 --> 01:04:29.313
Dear...
01:04:44.400 --> 01:04:45.573
Dad...
01:04:46.977 --> 01:04:48.099
John...
01:04:50.706 --> 01:04:51.899
Dad...
01:06:00.368 --> 01:06:03.648
Kerala has woken up to
tragic news this morning.
01:06:03.649 --> 01:06:05.988
We regret to inform our viewers
01:06:05.989 --> 01:06:08.581

news that not just affects Kerala,
but the entire country.
01:07:28.982 --> 01:07:31.391
I am now standing in front of Cliff House.
01:07:31.825 --> 01:07:33.657
There is no other leader
in Kerala's history
01:07:33.658 --> 01:07:35.882
who worked so closely with the people.
01:07:36.345 --> 01:07:38.196
His resignation
following sexual allegations
01:07:38.197 --> 01:07:40.050
and his death the very same night,
01:07:40.190 --> 01:07:42.154
have left many questions unanswered.
01:07:55.818 --> 01:07:58.928
As stated by the Chief Secretary
a short while ago,
01:07:58.929 --> 01:08:00.177
after the post-mortem,
01:08:00.178 --> 01:08:02.898
the Chief Minister's body
will be kept at Cliff House for one hour,
01:08:02.899 --> 01:08:05.548

Twelve days have passed
01:09:40.998 --> 01:09:43.020
since the death of CM Varghese Antony.
01:09:43.364 --> 01:09:45.481
Sharp divisions
and bitter factional power struggles
01:09:45.482 --> 01:09:47.051
have erupted within the NDC
01:09:47.052 --> 01:09:49.465
over the choice of the next Chief Minister.
01:09:49.763 --> 01:09:52.107
Gentlemen, please cooperate.
01:09:53.083 --> 01:09:56.989
Whether you say it in English or Hindi,
our answer is the same, CK.
01:09:57.114 --> 01:09:59.801
We cannot accept Purushothaman!
01:10:02.169 --> 01:10:04.856
"Farewell to the People's Leader!"
01:10:09.057 --> 01:10:10.713
Your father used to say,
01:10:11.685 --> 01:10:15.752
after his burial,
people would flock to his grave
01:10:16.362 --> 01:10:18.166
with flowers and candles.
01:10:20.072 --> 01:10:22.285
He never imagined being forgotten,
01:10:22.286 --> 01:10:24.143
left alone without a single soul.
01:10:25.302 --> 01:10:28.112
But now, it's just us here.
01:10:28.754 --> 01:10:33.387
To the world,
your father is now branded a criminal.
01:10:35.380 --> 01:10:37.380
I can't bear this, my son...
01:10:57.372 --> 01:10:59.986
However, this is ultimately
a game of numbers and majority.
01:11:00.934 --> 01:11:02.556
The situation clearly favours Tobin.
01:11:02.693 --> 01:11:04.666
So, shall we draw a conclusion?
01:11:04.927 --> 01:11:07.463
Tobin will comfortably win the by-election.
01:11:07.718 --> 01:11:10.618
Besides, that constituency
accepts only Varghese and his family.
01:11:11.364 --> 01:11:12.396
But...
01:11:12.397 --> 01:11:14.616
before you take a call,
watch this once.
01:11:14.617 --> 01:11:16.785
This is Sukesh Pandey.
We are breaking a story
01:11:16.786 --> 01:11:19.972
with serious financial
and political consequences.
01:11:20.311 --> 01:11:21.597
John Varghese,
01:11:21.904 --> 01:11:25.026
the second son of the late
Kerala Chief Minister,
01:11:25.027 --> 01:11:26.948
who died amid a sex scandal
01:11:26.949 --> 01:11:29.357
is under a cloud
over the sale of his tech start-up,
01:11:29.358 --> 01:11:31.842
just as his elder brother
01:11:31.843 --> 01:11:34.393
prepares to inherit the political mantle.
01:11:34.394 --> 01:11:37.004
John Varghese,
the second son of late CM KN Varghese,
01:11:37.005 --> 01:11:39.574
has allegedly been involved
in black money transactions
01:11:39.575 --> 01:11:41.295
amounting to nearly 125 crore rupees.
01:11:41.296 --> 01:11:43.448
The revelation has sent shock waves
across the state.
01:11:43.632 --> 01:11:44.964
For the first time in history,
01:11:44.965 --> 01:11:47.378
central investigating agencies have stormed
01:11:47.379 --> 01:11:49.256
the official residence of a Chief Minister.
01:11:49.257 --> 01:11:50.684
For the past two hours,
01:11:50.685 --> 01:11:53.309
an ED raid has been underway
at the CM's official residence.
01:11:53.310 --> 01:11:55.617
John, the prodigal son of KN Varghese,
01:11:55.618 --> 01:11:57.841
faces allegations
of a 100 crore rupees FEMA violation.
01:11:57.842 --> 01:11:58.866
With this,
01:11:58.867 --> 01:12:01.729
the Varghese family finds itself
relentlessly chased by controversy.
01:12:01.730 --> 01:12:03.432
"Confusion. Uncertainty."
01:12:05.794 --> 01:12:07.857
The ED has gathered enough evidence.
01:12:07.858 --> 01:12:10.693
Sources say John Varghese may be
taken into custody any moment.
01:12:15.145 --> 01:12:17.208
But the red flags are real.
01:12:17.575 --> 01:12:19.263
And they are serious.
01:12:20.051 --> 01:12:22.934
Money, legacy, power collide.
01:12:23.814 --> 01:12:26.122
The public deserves answers
01:12:26.255 --> 01:12:27.903
and the truth.
01:12:33.880 --> 01:12:38.739
Even now, the question of
who the next CM will be remains unanswered...
01:12:45.763 --> 01:12:47.723
Sir... sir... sir...
01:12:47.887 --> 01:12:49.493
Sir, what's your response?
01:12:49.581 --> 01:12:51.002
Give us a moment of peace!
01:12:51.253 --> 01:12:53.467
Sir, will your brother be arrested soon?
01:12:53.468 --> 01:12:56.729
Haven't you witch-hunted
our family enough already?
01:12:56.730 --> 01:12:58.526
Sir, how do you respond to this crisis?
01:12:58.693 --> 01:13:00.630
Isn't all this chaos
01:13:00.631 --> 01:13:03.263
because you refused to vacate
the official residence?
01:13:03.264 --> 01:13:04.272
Don't get smart.
01:13:04.538 --> 01:13:05.546
Never.
01:13:06.561 --> 01:13:07.569
Let's go.
01:13:13.022 --> 01:13:14.030
Don't come.
01:13:14.382 --> 01:13:16.182
Media everywhere outside.
01:13:23.438 --> 01:13:25.663
There are three vigilance cases
against you.
01:13:25.664 --> 01:13:27.108
Will the next probe reach you as well?
01:13:27.109 --> 01:13:28.141
Who?
01:13:28.142 --> 01:13:29.413
Who are you people, anyway?
01:13:29.414 --> 01:13:31.477
Tobin! We'll go inside, talk it out,
01:13:31.478 --> 01:13:33.516
come back and see you.
Isn't that enough?
01:13:33.950 --> 01:13:35.098
- Move. Move.
- Sir, sir--
01:13:35.397 --> 01:13:36.615
Sir! Sir!
01:13:37.952 --> 01:13:39.232
- Get in.
- Officer...
01:13:39.233 --> 01:13:41.066
- I want to talk to him.
- Not possible. Sorry.
01:13:41.067 --> 01:13:42.373
I want to talk to him!
01:13:44.272 --> 01:13:45.593
Brother...
01:13:46.843 --> 01:13:48.244
You've destroyed everything.
01:13:48.944 --> 01:13:50.639
I was to take oath
01:13:50.640 --> 01:13:52.717
as the Chief Minister of Kerala
in five days.
01:13:53.021 --> 01:13:54.628
Me, Ramakrishnan sir,
01:13:54.629 --> 01:13:56.810
everyone who stood by our father...
we're finished.
01:13:57.362 --> 01:13:58.913
Brother... I...
01:13:59.002 --> 01:14:00.997
You've driven
the final nail into our coffin.
01:14:00.998 --> 01:14:02.321
Enough. Enough. Please come.
01:14:11.282 --> 01:14:13.266
John Varghese's money-laundering scandal
01:14:13.267 --> 01:14:16.188
doesn't just corner the Varghese family
or the NDC.
01:14:16.341 --> 01:14:19.054
It also pushes the CPNM
into a serious crisis.
01:14:19.055 --> 01:14:20.329
As we all know,
01:14:20.330 --> 01:14:21.986
John Varghese is married
01:14:22.141 --> 01:14:24.859
to the daughter of MP Jayadevan,
a senior CPNM leader
01:14:24.860 --> 01:14:27.657
with the image of an untainted,
staunch communist.
01:14:27.766 --> 01:14:31.312
How Jayadevan
and the CPNM respond
01:14:31.313 --> 01:14:33.485
to John Varghese's money-laundering case
01:14:33.486 --> 01:14:36.095
is what political Kerala
is watching closely.
01:14:36.993 --> 01:14:39.437
Sir, this is Samuel.
01:14:39.743 --> 01:14:40.750
From Mallu Voice.
01:14:40.844 --> 01:14:41.852
Go on.
01:14:42.149 --> 01:14:44.485
I'm about to drop another big one.
01:14:44.604 --> 01:14:46.197
Alright. I'm stepping into a meeting.
01:14:46.361 --> 01:14:47.368
Okay.
01:14:47.658 --> 01:14:49.491
Step out only as Chief Minister.
01:14:50.890 --> 01:14:52.906
Sources say the ED has uncovered
01:14:52.907 --> 01:14:55.234
fresh evidence against John Varghese.
01:14:55.375 --> 01:14:57.326
One after another,
01:14:57.327 --> 01:15:00.538
central agencies are stepping in
with new investigations.
01:15:00.736 --> 01:15:03.061
The noose tightens
around the Varghese family.
01:15:03.062 --> 01:15:05.726
From "female" to FEMA violations,
the fall is dramatic.
01:15:06.297 --> 01:15:10.850
Dig deeper into the crimes
John is accused of,
01:15:10.960 --> 01:15:15.156
and at the very end,
loom the dark, powerful hands of Varghese.
01:15:15.592 --> 01:15:19.045
With central agencies launching
their probe,
01:15:19.157 --> 01:15:22.413
the roots of this corrupt family
have been shaken.
01:15:22.414 --> 01:15:24.694
All that remains to be seen now is
01:15:24.695 --> 01:15:26.843
where the father and son
have hidden the money.
01:15:26.844 --> 01:15:27.852
My dear...
01:15:30.411 --> 01:15:31.591
Aren't you going back?
01:15:32.039 --> 01:15:35.446
It would ease John's mother's mind
if you were there.
01:15:43.516 --> 01:15:46.592
Dad, John would never agree
to any shady deal.
01:15:47.516 --> 01:15:48.524
I know, dear.
01:15:49.407 --> 01:15:51.412
There's a conspiracy behind all this.
01:15:51.899 --> 01:15:54.149
Nothing will happen to John.
01:15:54.703 --> 01:15:57.349
If you've nothing to hide,
you've nothing to fear.
01:15:57.741 --> 01:15:58.819
Go home, dear.
01:16:03.327 --> 01:16:04.488
It's been two days
01:16:04.599 --> 01:16:07.341
since John Varghese
was taken into ED custody.
01:16:07.882 --> 01:16:10.520
I'm not discussing the circumstances
01:16:10.521 --> 01:16:12.005
that led to Varghese sir's death.
01:16:12.006 --> 01:16:13.382
Stop it, President.
01:16:13.655 --> 01:16:15.625
It's been 72 hours
01:16:15.626 --> 01:16:17.952
my brother's been held
without an arrest.
01:16:18.194 --> 01:16:20.717
Has the Party raised
even a single protest?
01:16:20.718 --> 01:16:21.817
Tobin, sit down.
01:16:22.405 --> 01:16:23.413
I said, sit down!
01:16:24.686 --> 01:16:28.069
I will not speak
for anyone involved in financial fraud.
01:16:28.249 --> 01:16:29.257
Never.
01:16:31.139 --> 01:16:33.590
Tobin, please control your temper
01:16:33.944 --> 01:16:35.098
and show some respect.
01:16:35.599 --> 01:16:38.896
While factions play the numbers game,
calculating strength and loyalties,
01:16:38.897 --> 01:16:41.324
governance stands paralysed.
01:16:41.983 --> 01:16:44.624
We still don't have a Chief Minister.
01:16:45.303 --> 01:16:47.569
How long will this uncertainty continue?
01:16:47.718 --> 01:16:51.843
Kerala will not forgive
this political impotence.
01:16:52.168 --> 01:16:53.459
CK, your response?
01:16:53.460 --> 01:16:56.083
I've explained the situation
to the Party President.
01:16:56.084 --> 01:16:57.682
Madam's position for now
01:16:57.683 --> 01:16:59.872
is not to consider Tobin as CM.
01:17:04.491 --> 01:17:06.310
We need PP's profile on air, now!
01:17:06.311 --> 01:17:07.888
Call everyone you can.
Get reactions.
01:17:07.889 --> 01:17:08.896
Sir.
01:17:08.991 --> 01:17:11.433
I can't agree to a one-sided decision.
01:17:12.124 --> 01:17:14.943
How many MLAs in the Party
actually back Purushothaman sir?
01:17:14.944 --> 01:17:16.816
Forget the numbers, Tobin ji.
01:17:17.257 --> 01:17:20.050
Your entire family
is now tainted by corruption.
01:17:20.835 --> 01:17:23.186
You also have
three vigilance cases against you.
01:17:23.406 --> 01:17:24.469
Don't forget it, Tobin.
01:17:24.470 --> 01:17:26.881
Anyone who questions
the Party President's call
01:17:26.882 --> 01:17:28.683
has no place left in the Party.
01:17:28.788 --> 01:17:30.724
So what I'm saying is...
01:17:30.725 --> 01:17:33.035
as Kerala's next Chief Minister--
01:17:33.036 --> 01:17:34.804
Hold on!
01:17:34.805 --> 01:17:36.394
Switch on the TV.
01:17:38.178 --> 01:17:39.414
The enquiry was about
01:17:39.415 --> 01:17:41.323
how the 96 crore rupees
Mr John Varghese earned
01:17:41.324 --> 01:17:43.253
from selling his start-up
was accounted for.
01:17:43.499 --> 01:17:45.271
Some of you may have heard of
01:17:45.272 --> 01:17:48.238
the Samyojitha Trust for Child Care,
based in UP.
01:17:48.952 --> 01:17:52.689
The Trust focuses on education
and social security
01:17:52.690 --> 01:17:56.200
for girls from Dalit, Adivasi,
and minority communities.
01:17:56.365 --> 01:17:59.458
Mr John Varghese donated 80 crore rupees
to this Trust.
01:17:59.679 --> 01:18:02.023
We have verified
and cross-checked everything.
01:18:02.115 --> 01:18:04.207
The remaining 16 crore rupees
01:18:04.303 --> 01:18:06.156
was donated to an organisation called
01:18:06.157 --> 01:18:08.230
Movement for Data Freedom and Democracy,
01:18:08.231 --> 01:18:10.701
which works for democratic transparency.
01:18:11.100 --> 01:18:12.154
Sir, sir...
01:18:12.155 --> 01:18:14.538
Sir, how do you respond
to these allegations?
01:18:14.539 --> 01:18:16.296
Is this a conspiracy,
Mr John Varghese?
01:18:16.522 --> 01:18:18.077
As you may know,
01:18:18.078 --> 01:18:20.343
Movement for Data Freedom and Democracy
01:18:20.344 --> 01:18:23.714
has exposed nearly 18 scams,
01:18:23.715 --> 01:18:26.842
including the arms deal scam
making headlines now.
01:18:27.170 --> 01:18:29.022
I only did my part
01:18:29.023 --> 01:18:31.288
to support their fight
against corruption.
01:18:31.289 --> 01:18:33.687
The one who stood by me
while I took these calls...
01:18:34.476 --> 01:18:37.695
who patted my shoulder and said,
"You're doing the right thing..."
01:18:38.555 --> 01:18:40.000
was my father...
01:18:42.328 --> 01:18:45.031
former Chief Minister Varghese.
01:18:46.698 --> 01:18:47.989
My father was my mentor...
01:18:49.004 --> 01:18:50.012
my hero!
01:19:16.942 --> 01:19:19.761
A meteoric rise in Kerala politics.
01:19:19.762 --> 01:19:22.714
The second son of the late
Chief Minister K. N. Varghese,
01:19:22.715 --> 01:19:28.231
is now everywhere, across news channels
and all over social media.
01:19:28.232 --> 01:19:32.052
Among students and the youth,
John Varghese is the new sensation.
01:19:32.053 --> 01:19:36.053
His Y Talk reels have already crossed
eight million views.
01:19:39.990 --> 01:19:42.193
"Varghese sir's family is corrupt," right?
01:19:42.749 --> 01:19:44.365
That's what everyone kept shouting!
01:19:45.218 --> 01:19:47.631
But that political witch-hunt is over now.
01:19:48.022 --> 01:19:49.490
What remains is pure numbers.
01:19:50.538 --> 01:19:54.193
Ramakrishnan sir will talk on our behalf.
01:20:07.588 --> 01:20:10.291
If you try to sideline me
at this crucial moment,
01:20:10.292 --> 01:20:11.705
I won't let it slide, sir.
01:20:11.706 --> 01:20:12.752
No chance!
01:20:12.753 --> 01:20:15.103
Tobin, act your age.
01:20:15.595 --> 01:20:17.297
John has become a symbol now.
01:20:17.585 --> 01:20:21.015
Both mainstream and social media
are celebrating him.
01:20:21.140 --> 01:20:24.860
The latest poster boy
of a smear campaign and witch-hunt.
01:20:25.281 --> 01:20:27.531
He even has that living martyr's glory now!
01:20:27.922 --> 01:20:30.195
We need to capitalise on that.
01:20:32.156 --> 01:20:34.444
What political experience does he have?
01:20:37.430 --> 01:20:39.829
We once made someone
with zero political experience,
01:20:39.830 --> 01:20:41.954
someone who was literally
flying in the sky,
01:20:41.955 --> 01:20:43.571
our Prime Minister.
01:20:44.814 --> 01:20:48.134
At 32, I was State President.
01:20:48.376 --> 01:20:50.164
At 36, I became Chief Minister.
01:20:50.398 --> 01:20:52.517
John is around that age now.
01:20:53.268 --> 01:20:56.170
Eighteen MLAs still raise their hands
when I ask them to.
01:20:56.171 --> 01:20:57.320
Don't forget that.
01:20:57.321 --> 01:20:58.603
Enough, Tobin.
01:20:58.604 --> 01:21:00.033
I've spoken to everyone.
01:21:00.205 --> 01:21:02.517
Our group stands firmly with John now.
01:21:03.892 --> 01:21:05.907
If he takes charge wholeheartedly,
01:21:06.041 --> 01:21:08.547
the youth across the state
will rally behind him.
01:21:08.548 --> 01:21:09.978
Please cooperate, Tobin.
01:21:10.650 --> 01:21:11.658
Sir...
01:21:12.438 --> 01:21:13.915
you played me too, didn't you?
01:21:14.368 --> 01:21:16.587
In politics, loyalties aren't to people.
01:21:16.588 --> 01:21:18.329
They're to circumstances.
01:21:18.486 --> 01:21:20.104
The one who taught me that...
01:21:20.105 --> 01:21:21.603
was Varghese sir.
01:21:24.166 --> 01:21:25.829
John, won't you say something?
01:21:26.705 --> 01:21:30.643
How many times have you told dad
you'd never enter politics?
01:21:32.252 --> 01:21:34.393
This shouldn't become a grudge
between us, John.
01:21:34.986 --> 01:21:35.994
- Ichayan--
- Tobin!
01:21:36.547 --> 01:21:37.555
It won't be John,
01:21:37.822 --> 01:21:39.173
I will speak.
01:21:40.197 --> 01:21:41.712
John will accept the responsibility
01:21:42.212 --> 01:21:43.649
the Party has entrusted him with.
01:21:51.469 --> 01:21:53.931
Mom, let me speak.
01:21:54.135 --> 01:21:55.143
Ichayan--
01:21:55.838 --> 01:21:57.931
I told you to stay quiet.
01:21:58.580 --> 01:21:59.588
There will be
01:21:59.900 --> 01:22:01.588
no more discussion on this, John.
01:22:13.580 --> 01:22:15.400
So... the swearing-in is tomorrow!
01:22:51.885 --> 01:22:52.893
Rosa...
01:22:53.088 --> 01:22:54.096
Hey...
01:22:54.924 --> 01:22:56.369
So, the decision's been made?
01:22:59.032 --> 01:23:01.267
I was trapped in that strange situation.
01:23:05.111 --> 01:23:07.314
I understand the pressure you're under.
01:23:07.884 --> 01:23:10.845
I also know your state of mind
since Dad passed away.
01:23:12.064 --> 01:23:14.681
John, I too have a father.
01:23:15.057 --> 01:23:16.377
He's still alive.
01:23:16.635 --> 01:23:18.627
I have to face him.
01:23:19.213 --> 01:23:22.174
When we decided to live together,
there was one condition.
01:23:22.603 --> 01:23:24.032
Just one!
01:23:24.510 --> 01:23:27.072
That neither of us
would enter active politics.
01:23:28.103 --> 01:23:30.728
John, what's your decision now?
01:23:31.752 --> 01:23:34.399
There are politics and values
that we both believe in, John.
01:23:34.400 --> 01:23:35.447
I know.
01:23:35.743 --> 01:23:38.329
But we never expected things
to turn out like this.
01:23:38.900 --> 01:23:39.978
Right now,
01:23:40.189 --> 01:23:42.471
I can't say no to Mum.
01:23:43.010 --> 01:23:44.447
Leave that, John.
01:23:45.471 --> 01:23:47.002
You and I have come this far
01:23:47.003 --> 01:23:49.369
by saying no to our parents
when it mattered.
01:23:51.143 --> 01:23:52.564
I won't be by your side
01:23:52.565 --> 01:23:55.858
for the swearing-in
or the Raj Bhavan tea party.
01:23:58.220 --> 01:23:59.282
I don't know why...
01:23:59.283 --> 01:24:01.862
but I see your father in your eyes now.
01:24:19.557 --> 01:24:21.479
Elizabeth, that's Sukesh Pandey.
01:24:21.861 --> 01:24:24.228
He broke the story against John.
01:24:24.229 --> 01:24:25.269
Oh!
01:24:25.270 --> 01:24:26.573

Do you know what you're asking me

01:26:59.273 --> 01:27:00.623
will destroy my credibility?
01:27:00.758 --> 01:27:01.843
I know.

I want power, Sukesh.
01:27:07.312 --> 01:27:08.320
You know why.
01:27:08.874 --> 01:27:10.295

Sukesh is about to break a story
on my start-up deal.
01:27:20.394 --> 01:27:22.886
I want a raid to follow it,
at the CM's residence.
01:27:23.099 --> 01:27:26.630

Greetings...
01:28:41.313 --> 01:28:44.530
I was with my father when he visited
your home before the wedding.

I hope your daughter
and son-in-law are doing well?
01:28:46.303 --> 01:28:47.309
Yes.
01:28:52.143 --> 01:28:53.425
Shall I?
01:28:53.426 --> 01:28:54.664
Jesus will be with you...
01:28:54.966 --> 01:28:56.396
I will pray, son...
01:28:57.100 --> 01:28:58.106
Sir.
01:28:58.932 --> 01:28:59.939
Don't call me sir.
01:29:00.352 --> 01:29:01.554
Call me as you did before.
01:30:19.004 --> 01:30:20.084
Greetings to everyone.
01:30:20.825 --> 01:30:23.513
I have no previous experience
in politics or governance.
01:30:23.951 --> 01:30:27.758
I will need all your guidance and advice.
01:30:28.213 --> 01:30:31.778
CM! None of the earlier Chief Ministers
ever wore black.
01:30:32.133 --> 01:30:33.518
Why did you decide to wear it?
01:30:34.193 --> 01:30:35.498
What's wrong with black?
01:30:36.274 --> 01:30:38.388
Black carries many meanings.
01:30:39.401 --> 01:30:40.692
You'll understand it in time.
01:30:40.693 --> 01:30:42.714
CM, was MP Tobin Varghese
pushed aside completely?
01:30:42.715 --> 01:30:44.907
What will be your first steps
as Chief Minister?
01:30:44.908 --> 01:30:48.507
Since you've all got enough visuals,
could you please leave?
01:30:48.753 --> 01:30:50.599
Please leave the room.
01:30:52.480 --> 01:30:54.340
Everybody, please exit the room.
01:30:54.524 --> 01:30:55.571
Please.
01:30:57.926 --> 01:31:00.320
Chief Secretary and DG, please stay.
01:31:01.700 --> 01:31:03.413
Please remain seated, Ramakrishnan sir.
01:31:06.480 --> 01:31:08.904
John, you shouldn't announce
in front of the media
01:31:08.905 --> 01:31:11.874
that you have no prior experience
in politics and governance.
01:31:11.993 --> 01:31:13.327
It makes us look weak.
01:31:14.139 --> 01:31:15.272
But isn't it true, sir?
01:31:15.366 --> 01:31:17.641
John, not every truth
should be said out loud.
01:31:19.085 --> 01:31:20.179
Pass me that file.
01:31:23.946 --> 01:31:26.487
These are the profiles of four people.
01:31:26.680 --> 01:31:28.059
Advisors to the CM.
01:31:28.400 --> 01:31:30.106
Appoint them today itself.
01:31:33.986 --> 01:31:34.993
Abdul Khader...
01:31:35.253 --> 01:31:36.949
He's the head of our party channel.
01:31:37.460 --> 01:31:39.697
He can serve as the CM's media advisor.
01:31:40.106 --> 01:31:41.290
Then Jacob Cherian,
01:31:41.639 --> 01:31:43.686
ex-deputy director of the IMF,
01:31:43.819 --> 01:31:46.539
is best suited to be the financial advisor.
01:31:46.846 --> 01:31:48.751
Next, former DGP Sreevalsan
01:31:48.752 --> 01:31:50.176
can handle the Home Ministry.
01:31:55.086 --> 01:31:57.288
I don't need them to advise and correct me
01:31:57.612 --> 01:31:59.100
during my rule, sir.
01:32:13.378 --> 01:32:15.192
I need just one person.
01:32:19.966 --> 01:32:21.193
Sir...
01:32:21.296 --> 01:32:23.513
I only need you by my side...
01:32:29.179 --> 01:32:30.394
- Francis sir.
- Yes, sir.
01:32:30.912 --> 01:32:33.102
- You should do me a favour.
- Yes, sir.
01:32:33.193 --> 01:32:34.526
This is the first decision
01:32:35.052 --> 01:32:36.665
I'm going to make from this chair.
01:32:36.666 --> 01:32:39.679
JUSTICE TO ANIRUDHAN
WHO DIED IN JUDICIAL CUSTODY
01:32:43.106 --> 01:32:45.916
The government will take responsibility
of these children's education.
01:32:46.130 --> 01:32:48.929
I have instructed the
Department of Public Administration
01:32:49.509 --> 01:32:54.377
to check vacancies suitable to
Mrs Santha's qualifications.
01:32:55.440 --> 01:32:57.489
Heard there is also a plan to pay
01:32:57.613 --> 01:33:00.167
the welfare pension arrears
and increase pensions?
01:33:00.451 --> 01:33:01.512
There is.
01:33:01.513 --> 01:33:02.365
Let's see.
01:33:02.366 --> 01:33:04.764
That and this job promise...
when you read it all together,
01:33:04.765 --> 01:33:06.958
isn't it really about
building an image for yourself?
01:33:07.433 --> 01:33:09.186
If I do nothing, I'm seen as incapable.
01:33:09.526 --> 01:33:11.426
If I do something,
it's called image-building.
01:33:13.338 --> 01:33:15.352
Also, these images you talk about...
01:33:15.353 --> 01:33:16.578
Who builds them?
01:33:17.162 --> 01:33:18.667
Idols are built and destroyed
01:33:19.006 --> 01:33:21.512
based on market demands.
01:33:22.567 --> 01:33:23.820
And you're the ones who do it!
01:33:24.742 --> 01:33:26.468
There are no individuals in politics,
01:33:26.653 --> 01:33:28.039
only images.
01:33:28.846 --> 01:33:29.996
This is not my line...
01:33:30.552 --> 01:33:31.559
It was my father's.
01:33:35.170 --> 01:33:37.427
Political Kerala is now watching
closely to see
01:33:37.428 --> 01:33:39.432
whether KN Varghese's successor,
John Varghese,
01:33:39.433 --> 01:33:41.151
has the same ability and political acumen
01:33:41.152 --> 01:33:43.565
to coordinate and lead the
communal organisations in the state.

01:34:24.824 --> 01:34:25.857
Greetings, sir.
01:34:25.858 --> 01:34:26.937
Greetings! Sit down.
01:34:29.432 --> 01:34:32.371
Good that you gave Santha a job.
She had been protesting for a while.
01:34:32.773 --> 01:34:34.647
I had mentioned it to
Varghese sir many times,
01:34:34.648 --> 01:34:35.822
but he never listened.
01:34:36.253 --> 01:34:38.714
John, you've realised his stand was wrong.
01:34:38.715 --> 01:34:39.771
That's good.
01:34:39.772 --> 01:34:42.388
Whatever wrongs we can undo,
we should. Right, sir?
01:34:42.604 --> 01:34:44.258
In fact, Ramakrishnan sir and I are here
01:34:44.259 --> 01:34:46.345
to discuss a few corrective steps.
01:34:46.346 --> 01:34:47.377
What is it, CM?
01:34:47.378 --> 01:34:49.429
Do you have a cabinet
reorganisation in mind?
01:34:50.051 --> 01:34:52.833
I say this because of your
lack of experience, CM.
01:34:53.005 --> 01:34:55.534
Cabinet formation is a web of equations.
01:34:55.779 --> 01:34:59.246
Caste, religion,
alliances with powerful interests.
01:34:59.645 --> 01:35:02.749
Our positions are determined
by these very dynamics.
01:35:03.651 --> 01:35:06.398
So, merit and efficiency
are not the determining factors?
01:35:07.861 --> 01:35:08.892
Was that sarcasm?
01:35:08.893 --> 01:35:09.932
No...
01:35:09.933 --> 01:35:11.079
it's an observation.
01:35:11.459 --> 01:35:14.912
We would like to talk
only with the President.
01:35:18.832 --> 01:35:19.839
Alright.
01:35:21.346 --> 01:35:22.526
Go on.
01:35:30.906 --> 01:35:33.301
You want to push three veterans out
and bring in novices,
01:35:33.302 --> 01:35:35.358
that can't happen.
01:35:36.106 --> 01:35:38.253
Also, if we go by this list,
01:35:38.339 --> 01:35:40.980
all the equations Konniyoor
spoke of earlier will go for a toss.
01:35:41.786 --> 01:35:45.184
I still have to pass through
Changanassery and Alappuzha.
01:35:45.485 --> 01:35:47.038
The people on my list are
01:35:47.039 --> 01:35:48.746
talented and capable youngsters.
01:35:49.887 --> 01:35:51.538
Including them in the Cabinet
01:35:51.679 --> 01:35:53.011
will have a positive impact.
01:35:53.511 --> 01:35:56.958
I'm hoping to do this
with your consent as well.
01:36:00.426 --> 01:36:01.517
Sir, you know,
01:36:01.732 --> 01:36:03.973
the people of Kerala
are like Naranathu Branthan.
01:36:04.688 --> 01:36:07.212
Every five years,
they shift from one side to the other...
01:36:07.213 --> 01:36:08.724
choosing the right one time
01:36:09.140 --> 01:36:12.152
and after five years,
swinging back to the left.
01:36:12.750 --> 01:36:14.341
If you think along that logic,
01:36:14.446 --> 01:36:16.263
we'll fail in the coming elections.
01:36:16.741 --> 01:36:19.626
Sir, then you can place all the blame
for failure on me,
01:36:19.786 --> 01:36:21.334
the one in charge of this final term.
01:36:24.918 --> 01:36:26.058
On the contrary,
01:36:26.357 --> 01:36:28.072
if my experiment succeeds,
01:36:28.360 --> 01:36:29.806
the public will think otherwise
01:36:29.959 --> 01:36:31.299
and history will change.
01:36:31.693 --> 01:36:32.904
We'll win again.
01:36:35.185 --> 01:36:37.300
And you still stand to gain.
01:36:41.461 --> 01:36:43.591
Sir, you'll be leading
the upcoming election.
01:36:44.504 --> 01:36:46.662
Kerala's next CM.
01:36:48.652 --> 01:36:51.159
There will be no objection
from my father's group.
01:36:52.832 --> 01:36:54.349
That's my word.
01:36:56.639 --> 01:36:59.818
Sir, think of this
as a political balancing.
01:37:00.893 --> 01:37:02.101
Varghese sir has gone.
01:37:02.333 --> 01:37:03.772
You may lead, Purushothaman.
01:37:03.773 --> 01:37:04.931
There's no dispute.
01:37:04.932 --> 01:37:06.869
We will need to discuss
regarding accommodations
01:37:06.870 --> 01:37:08.392
and portfolio distribution.
01:37:09.899 --> 01:37:12.426
Sir, you need not worry about me.
01:37:12.919 --> 01:37:14.967
I won't be in this scene
in the next election.
01:37:15.513 --> 01:37:17.541
I am just a stop-gap...
01:37:17.865 --> 01:37:18.872
arrangement.
01:37:21.926 --> 01:37:23.765
I didn't expect the president to give in.
01:37:23.878 --> 01:37:25.079
That's quite a change.
01:37:25.575 --> 01:37:27.012
This isn't about change, sir.
01:37:27.486 --> 01:37:30.179
The ministers have to back

Chief Minister John Varghese
returns from the party headquarters
01:37:44.066 --> 01:37:46.342
after securing approval
for the entire list he proposed.
01:37:46.343 --> 01:37:47.726
Kerala politics is now witnessing
01:37:47.727 --> 01:37:49.280

- Sir.
- Come in.
01:38:34.350 --> 01:38:35.357
Yes, sir.
01:38:36.599 --> 01:38:38.718
Nisha Chandrakumar is a single mother.
01:38:38.892 --> 01:38:41.283
She relocated to Kerala two years ago.
01:38:41.423 --> 01:38:43.197
Till then she was living in Mumbai.
01:38:43.198 --> 01:38:45.174
After submitting his resignation
at Raj Bhavan,
01:38:45.553 --> 01:38:47.022
it was around 8 PM
01:38:47.186 --> 01:38:48.907
that Varghese sir instructed the DG
01:38:49.159 --> 01:38:51.303
to register the crime and file an FIR.
01:38:51.423 --> 01:38:52.999
The DG called me immediately
01:38:53.222 --> 01:38:54.848
and placed me in charge of the SIT.
01:38:55.348 --> 01:38:57.145
That same night around 9.30,
01:38:57.146 --> 01:38:58.515
I had called Nisha.
01:38:59.233 --> 01:39:02.107
I informed her that I would send
a DySp and two women officers
01:39:02.272 --> 01:39:03.956
the next day to record her statement.
01:39:04.186 --> 01:39:05.193
She said fine.
01:39:05.343 --> 01:39:06.968
Both the DG and I decided
01:39:06.969 --> 01:39:08.976
to file the FIR after her statement.
01:39:10.096 --> 01:39:11.768
My father passed away the next morning.
01:39:12.582 --> 01:39:14.155
And you didn't proceed further?
01:39:14.156 --> 01:39:15.163
That's right, sir.
01:39:16.537 --> 01:39:17.922
As per the DG's report,
01:39:18.108 --> 01:39:19.451
the day after Dad died,
01:39:19.452 --> 01:39:20.837
she left for Dubai with her child
01:39:20.838 --> 01:39:22.167
on an early morning flight.
01:39:22.563 --> 01:39:23.656
And from there to London.
01:39:23.923 --> 01:39:26.373
She has a UK visa valid for ten years.
01:39:26.490 --> 01:39:30.296
She booked her ticket to the UK at 7.40 AM.
01:39:30.900 --> 01:39:33.053
About an hour and a half after
01:39:33.283 --> 01:39:35.323
the media reported Dad's death.
01:39:36.482 --> 01:39:37.686
It was a hasty move.
01:39:38.548 --> 01:39:39.555
A panic.
01:39:40.269 --> 01:39:42.409
Maybe she feared public wrath.
01:39:43.996 --> 01:39:45.669
We reviewed Nisha's call dump.
01:39:45.869 --> 01:39:47.236
Nothing interesting.
01:39:47.469 --> 01:39:48.939
My father gave you this posting
01:39:49.030 --> 01:39:50.355
two days before his death.
01:39:50.492 --> 01:39:51.491
Yes, sir.
01:39:51.492 --> 01:39:52.922
I was totally surprised.
01:39:53.163 --> 01:39:55.499
I was not in his good books at all.
01:39:57.633 --> 01:39:59.173
Dad told Ramakrishan sir
01:39:59.174 --> 01:40:00.838
that he brought you in
01:40:00.839 --> 01:40:02.160
for some complicated job.
01:40:04.856 --> 01:40:06.024
Any idea?
01:40:06.456 --> 01:40:07.432
No, sir.
01:40:07.609 --> 01:40:08.616
No idea.
01:40:09.303 --> 01:40:11.104
Okay, madam.
Let the investigation continue.
01:40:11.262 --> 01:40:12.269
Yes, sir.
01:40:13.796 --> 01:40:14.803
Sir.
01:40:18.576 --> 01:40:19.838
Tobin and Rani
01:40:19.950 --> 01:40:22.030
took Mariyam and moved to the flat.
01:40:22.362 --> 01:40:24.775
Rosa also said
she will be back after a few days.
01:40:24.988 --> 01:40:25.995
She is at Comrade's.
01:40:27.830 --> 01:40:28.869
Okay.
01:40:57.162 --> 01:40:59.149
For now, let's not to do anything
01:40:59.373 --> 01:41:01.615
that could fuel John's animosity
towards our channel.
01:41:02.176 --> 01:41:03.182
In fact...
01:41:03.637 --> 01:41:05.339
Wherever possible, applaud him.
01:41:05.683 --> 01:41:07.536
Sir, with all due respect,
01:41:07.798 --> 01:41:08.858
the ruler,
01:41:09.051 --> 01:41:10.724
no matter how much good he does...
01:41:10.990 --> 01:41:12.542
we still need to hurl a few abuses.
01:41:12.729 --> 01:41:15.042
Even if it's not certain,
simply accuse him of corruption.
01:41:15.043 --> 01:41:16.848
Stir up some smoke.
01:41:17.122 --> 01:41:18.900
Only then will the news taste spicy.
01:41:19.002 --> 01:41:20.848
Don't you want ratings
and capture the market?
01:41:20.849 --> 01:41:23.325
If you keep smearing sweetness,
only flies will swarm around.
01:41:23.424 --> 01:41:25.214
Our BARC ratings will nosedive.
01:41:25.302 --> 01:41:26.493
When that happens,
01:41:26.609 --> 01:41:28.349
don't blame the editorial team.
01:41:28.569 --> 01:41:29.713
Give me that assurance.
01:41:30.023 --> 01:41:31.865
Don't call and lash out at us.
01:41:37.257 --> 01:41:39.422
No wonder he's our news anchor
01:41:39.423 --> 01:41:40.996
with the highest ratings.
01:41:42.509 --> 01:41:43.689
He opens his mouth...
01:41:44.209 --> 01:41:45.810
only to spew venom.
01:41:46.370 --> 01:41:47.648
Isn't that good?
01:41:49.737 --> 01:41:51.019
Purushothaman called.
01:41:51.130 --> 01:41:52.346
Tomorrow evening, 4 o'clock.
01:41:52.715 --> 01:41:53.722
It's confirmed.
01:41:54.938 --> 01:41:56.752
The chief investor should come in person.
01:41:57.141 --> 01:41:58.637
That's John's demand.
01:41:59.690 --> 01:42:01.126
This time, you'll have to come.
01:42:44.856 --> 01:42:45.862
Ravi Madhavan.
01:42:46.170 --> 01:42:47.215
I know.
01:42:47.216 --> 01:42:48.639
Ishaan Tejas.
01:42:48.863 --> 01:42:51.197
He's India's most renowned
business advisor.
01:42:51.417 --> 01:42:52.497
The corporate guru.
01:42:53.577 --> 01:42:54.617
My condolences.
01:42:55.163 --> 01:42:56.170
Please sit.
01:43:00.450 --> 01:43:03.067
When that story about Varghese sir
01:43:03.350 --> 01:43:04.734
aired on my channel that day,
01:43:05.563 --> 01:43:06.628
I never imagined
01:43:06.877 --> 01:43:09.211
such a tragedy would follow the next day.
01:43:09.950 --> 01:43:11.518
I still feel quite guilty, CM.
01:43:13.350 --> 01:43:16.255
Guilt has no place in journalism.
01:43:17.463 --> 01:43:18.968
I didn't take it personally.
01:43:19.883 --> 01:43:21.488
I'm sure my father didn't either.
01:43:22.083 --> 01:43:23.327
Didn't I tell you?
01:43:23.770 --> 01:43:25.663
John is one hundred percent professional.
01:43:26.197 --> 01:43:29.123
He runs this government like a CEO.
01:43:31.317 --> 01:43:32.640
Let's come to the matter.
01:43:33.943 --> 01:43:35.165
Ishaan, please.
01:43:35.343 --> 01:43:36.350
Sure.
01:43:36.630 --> 01:43:38.423
This is a proposal that could
01:43:38.424 --> 01:43:40.958
revolutionise our IT sector.
01:43:43.917 --> 01:43:45.468
It's a plan that ensures
01:43:45.957 --> 01:43:47.163
free internet access
01:43:47.303 --> 01:43:48.923
for everyone in Kerala,
01:43:49.303 --> 01:43:51.209
every household,
01:43:51.643 --> 01:43:53.269
educational institution, government
01:43:53.723 --> 01:43:55.294
and semi-government body,
01:43:55.490 --> 01:43:57.654
without compromise.
01:44:00.830 --> 01:44:02.842
So far, four state governments in India
01:44:02.843 --> 01:44:04.696
have agreed in principle to this project.
01:44:05.389 --> 01:44:07.629
We're planning to announce it at the
01:44:07.630 --> 01:44:09.181
upcoming Trivandrum IT conclave
01:44:09.182 --> 01:44:10.444
which is a few days away.
01:44:11.177 --> 01:44:12.581
That's your brain child, right, CM?
01:44:14.543 --> 01:44:16.574
Our dream is a future where internet access
01:44:16.575 --> 01:44:18.875
becomes a fundamental right.
01:44:20.428 --> 01:44:22.008
And we want that dream
01:44:22.389 --> 01:44:23.951
to begin in Kerala.
01:44:24.536 --> 01:44:27.317
And that's Mr Ravi Madhavan's
decision and his wish.
01:44:30.382 --> 01:44:31.412
CM...
01:44:31.413 --> 01:44:33.249
This is your chance to change the narrative
01:44:33.250 --> 01:44:35.412
about the many investment opportunities
01:44:35.866 --> 01:44:37.250
the state has lost over the years.
01:44:48.143 --> 01:44:49.802
CM, we have a headline
01:44:49.803 --> 01:44:51.082
for this vision
01:44:51.296 --> 01:44:52.841
that will dominate India.
01:44:53.328 --> 01:44:54.534
The first page of this folder
01:44:55.097 --> 01:44:56.362
holds that headline.
01:45:10.235 --> 01:45:11.448
Two days back
01:45:11.449 --> 01:45:13.536
they met me in Mumbai
01:45:13.537 --> 01:45:14.678
and gave me this proposal.
01:45:15.330 --> 01:45:17.382
See, this person in the churidar
01:45:17.383 --> 01:45:18.456
leads this project.
01:45:18.677 --> 01:45:20.655
His name's a bit complicated.
01:45:20.656 --> 01:45:21.784
Ishaan Tejas.
01:45:22.656 --> 01:45:25.342
His real name is Mathukutty K Avaran.
01:45:25.723 --> 01:45:27.121
He is from Teekoy.
01:45:27.122 --> 01:45:28.128
A complete fraud.
01:45:28.303 --> 01:45:30.731
Calls from influential people followed.
01:45:31.637 --> 01:45:33.723
Since it's related to the internet,
01:45:33.957 --> 01:45:35.527
I thought I'd discuss it with you.
01:45:36.326 --> 01:45:37.794
Now tell me, is this any good?
01:45:37.795 --> 01:45:39.188
Dad, look at this.
01:45:39.562 --> 01:45:41.149
"One Nation, One Information".
01:45:41.830 --> 01:45:44.263
Could there be a more fascist tagline?
01:45:46.026 --> 01:45:48.330
Today, the most powerful thing
01:45:48.599 --> 01:45:50.336
in the world isn't oil, currency,
01:45:50.337 --> 01:45:51.590
gold or atomic energy.
01:45:51.850 --> 01:45:53.023
It's data.
01:45:53.024 --> 01:45:54.073
Information.
01:45:54.305 --> 01:45:55.907
That is the new-age capital.
01:45:56.784 --> 01:45:58.676
This is an attempt by this
fraud corporate guru
01:45:58.836 --> 01:46:00.431
to monopolise it.
01:46:01.074 --> 01:46:02.902
A major corporation is pulling the strings,
01:46:03.133 --> 01:46:05.569
using Ishaan Tejas as the front.
01:46:07.116 --> 01:46:09.299
The question is, who's the corporate giant
01:46:09.582 --> 01:46:10.845
funding Mathukutty?
01:46:16.241 --> 01:46:17.547
Mr Ravi Madhavan,
01:46:17.707 --> 01:46:19.221
are you the one funding this project?
01:46:19.437 --> 01:46:20.443
To be exact,
01:46:20.970 --> 01:46:22.205
it is a consortium,
01:46:23.124 --> 01:46:24.197
headed by RM,
01:46:24.510 --> 01:46:26.650
Ravi Madhavan Group of Companies.
01:46:30.203 --> 01:46:31.210
Thank you.
01:46:31.818 --> 01:46:33.048
Let me study this.
01:46:33.049 --> 01:46:35.220
You're a proven technocrat yourself, CM.
01:46:35.310 --> 01:46:36.543
So, you'll understand
01:46:36.544 --> 01:46:38.406
its possibilities better than anyone.
01:46:42.403 --> 01:46:43.482
Of course.
01:46:43.483 --> 01:46:44.660
All possibilities.
01:46:48.957 --> 01:46:49.987
So, CM...
01:46:49.988 --> 01:46:51.707
please take a good look at it.
01:46:52.217 --> 01:46:54.657
And give me a call with the happy news.
01:46:55.263 --> 01:46:56.190
Alright.
01:46:56.191 --> 01:46:57.953
Alright then, we're off.
01:46:59.883 --> 01:47:00.968
We shall take your leave.
01:47:01.183 --> 01:47:02.482
May good things happen.
01:47:03.270 --> 01:47:04.277
Yes...
01:47:04.870 --> 01:47:07.342
May good things happen.
01:47:34.580 --> 01:47:36.177
Corporates now control the world
01:47:36.178 --> 01:47:38.303
through cyber manipulation.
01:47:39.005 --> 01:47:40.565
Dad, have you heard of the
01:47:40.693 --> 01:47:43.202
2018 Cambridge Analytica scam?
01:47:43.912 --> 01:47:45.705
It was a coup that turned
01:47:45.943 --> 01:47:48.026
every social media like into a vote.
01:47:48.493 --> 01:47:50.817
That's what happened
in the recent election in Kenya.
01:47:51.178 --> 01:47:53.173
If algorithms decide issues
01:47:53.351 --> 01:47:55.647
and shape public opinion,
01:47:55.740 --> 01:47:57.264
that is the end of the democracy.
01:47:57.847 --> 01:47:59.853
Between 2022 and 2024,
01:47:59.997 --> 01:48:01.441
global tech giants
01:48:01.442 --> 01:48:03.506
began setting up data centres here.
01:48:03.597 --> 01:48:05.414
Many believe that was the first step
01:48:05.415 --> 01:48:07.338
towards taking control of the country.
01:48:07.670 --> 01:48:09.417
Dad, if you sign a deal like this,
01:48:09.671 --> 01:48:11.848
these corporate agencies can freeze
01:48:11.849 --> 01:48:13.401
our networks whenever they want.
01:48:13.977 --> 01:48:15.439
Kerala will come to a standstill.
01:48:15.603 --> 01:48:18.179
Dad, freedom isn't about connectivity.
01:48:18.356 --> 01:48:20.167
It's about having the right to disconnect.
01:48:20.462 --> 01:48:21.536
The phone in our hands
01:48:21.537 --> 01:48:23.990
and turn into our greatest enemy
and impersonator.
01:48:24.575 --> 01:48:26.070
Politics and human life
01:48:26.227 --> 01:48:27.534
will become programmed.
01:48:28.153 --> 01:48:31.543
By letting their fibre-optic cables
and internet
01:48:31.544 --> 01:48:33.819
reach every home, school, college,
01:48:34.146 --> 01:48:36.002
hospital and government office...
01:48:36.003 --> 01:48:38.170
this is what will happen.
01:48:38.404 --> 01:48:41.498
Data theft, profiling and AI infiltration.
01:48:41.943 --> 01:48:43.468
What our children should learn,
01:48:43.469 --> 01:48:44.493
what we should eat,
01:48:44.494 --> 01:48:45.842
what medicine we should take,
01:48:45.958 --> 01:48:48.437
what we should think
and who we should vote for...
01:48:48.741 --> 01:48:50.536
All of this
will be decided by corporations.
01:48:54.091 --> 01:48:55.097
Dad...
01:48:55.741 --> 01:48:57.810
When various changes
happen everywhere else,
01:48:58.288 --> 01:49:00.582
some things remain the same in Kerala...
01:49:00.814 --> 01:49:02.253
In every crisis,
01:49:02.254 --> 01:49:05.733
we showed the world what Kerala truly is.
01:49:06.122 --> 01:49:08.298
What the real Kerala story is.
01:49:10.066 --> 01:49:12.890
This is an attempt to
rewrite that Kerala model.
01:49:14.852 --> 01:49:17.407
Hey, I'm sharing something.
Just take a look.
01:49:17.744 --> 01:49:20.423
Nisha Chandrakumar
and her daughter, Aswini Chandrakumar.
01:49:20.424 --> 01:49:22.643
They landed at Heathrow Airport
on 23rd October.
01:49:22.907 --> 01:49:24.891
Flight number EK0008.
01:49:25.017 --> 01:49:26.993
Find her.
Spare no expense.
01:49:27.375 --> 01:49:28.868
Give me a day.
01:49:28.869 --> 01:49:30.673
BIRGANJ, NEPAL
01:50:23.671 --> 01:50:25.585
Can I please speak to him once?
01:50:26.977 --> 01:50:28.070
Please.
01:50:29.211 --> 01:50:30.844
She's really unwell.
01:50:49.448 --> 01:50:52.636
Madam, this is the autopsy report
of IT Secretary Cherian sir.
01:50:52.637 --> 01:50:54.747
It lists cardiac death.
01:50:54.748 --> 01:50:57.856
But the alkaloid levels
in his blood are abnormal.
01:50:58.247 --> 01:50:59.958
Alkaloids were present
in the medicines
01:50:59.959 --> 01:51:02.013
Cherian sir was taking
for his heart condition.
01:51:02.177 --> 01:51:04.395
But after expert consultation,
01:51:04.606 --> 01:51:08.215
the report says this variation
is unnatural, madam.
01:51:08.302 --> 01:51:09.340
Poisoning?
01:51:09.341 --> 01:51:10.349
Possible, madam.
01:51:16.474 --> 01:51:17.520
Madam?
01:51:17.521 --> 01:51:18.942
Sir, there have been developments.
01:51:19.177 --> 01:51:20.622
Sir, your suspicion was right.
01:51:20.623 --> 01:51:22.840
Varghese sir was planning
to assign me a case.
01:51:22.841 --> 01:51:27.147
Maybe that's why I was transferred
the very day Cherian sir died.
01:51:27.148 --> 01:51:28.179
And he was right.
01:51:28.180 --> 01:51:31.581
Since Cherian sir died before reaching
the hospital, an autopsy was conducted.
01:51:31.582 --> 01:51:35.130
The forensic report found
a cardiac glycoside called Digitalis.
01:51:35.480 --> 01:51:37.723
It can cause a cardiac failure quickly.
01:51:37.724 --> 01:51:40.264
Sir, by the way,
the person who filmed Nisha
01:51:40.265 --> 01:51:42.262
entering the CM's official residence,
01:51:42.263 --> 01:51:43.926
her driver Vinod,
01:51:43.927 --> 01:51:46.021
died in an accident,
01:51:46.356 --> 01:51:50.494
at 3:35 p.m., the same day
the allegations against Varghese sir broke.
01:52:00.777 --> 01:52:01.973
Madam, let's sit there.
01:52:01.974 --> 01:52:03.050
Sir.
01:52:03.310 --> 01:52:04.933
My father had assigned Cherian sir
01:52:04.934 --> 01:52:07.465
to follow up on the project
Ishaan Tejas submitted.
01:52:07.849 --> 01:52:10.021
They made Cherian sir
a massive offer.
01:52:10.497 --> 01:52:12.122
Even after Dad froze the project,
01:52:12.123 --> 01:52:15.089
Cherian sir wrote to the CM
eight times supporting it.
01:52:15.255 --> 01:52:16.262
I've seen the files.
01:52:19.083 --> 01:52:22.576
There couldn't be any loose ends
in their plan to trap my father.
01:52:23.520 --> 01:52:25.425
So they eliminated Cherian sir.
01:52:26.708 --> 01:52:28.433
Driver Vinod was another loose end.
01:52:28.724 --> 01:52:29.762
Understood, sir.
01:52:29.763 --> 01:52:31.136
So, one murder...
01:52:34.095 --> 01:52:35.362
one accident...
01:52:37.245 --> 01:52:38.728
one disappearance...
01:52:40.034 --> 01:52:41.555
and the kingpin is...
01:52:42.057 --> 01:52:43.644
Ravi Madhavan.
01:52:55.172 --> 01:52:56.436
He's too big, sir.
01:52:56.548 --> 01:52:59.881
You know he owns
three major media houses.
01:53:00.626 --> 01:53:04.155
Plus seaports, airports,
mining, oil, and gas.
01:53:04.587 --> 01:53:07.600
When we target someone
who controls core sectors...
01:53:07.601 --> 01:53:08.866
I know, madam.
01:53:09.126 --> 01:53:10.717
He's a tough target.
01:53:10.969 --> 01:53:13.133
Or, he must be exposed.
01:53:13.508 --> 01:53:14.850
But I don't know how.
01:53:42.601 --> 01:53:44.000
You look excited.
01:53:44.001 --> 01:53:45.008
Yes.
01:53:45.423 --> 01:53:47.842
Look. I got an email from the CM's office.
01:53:48.430 --> 01:53:51.485
They've responded
very positively to our proposal.
01:53:52.266 --> 01:53:54.795
He's asked me to follow up
with the IT Secretary.
01:53:58.462 --> 01:54:00.671
This is the guest list
from the party
01:54:00.672 --> 01:54:03.562
held when John Varghese's startup
was acquired.
01:54:04.852 --> 01:54:07.258
Look at the names I've highlighted.
01:54:14.016 --> 01:54:15.024
Sukesh Pande...
01:54:16.321 --> 01:54:19.357
Isn't his portal the one
that broke John's FEMA case?
01:54:19.358 --> 01:54:20.388
Yes.
01:54:20.389 --> 01:54:21.920
And the second name, Poonam Mattal.
01:54:21.921 --> 01:54:24.826
The Central Home Minister's niece,
you know her.
01:54:25.687 --> 01:54:28.593
No one influences him
more than her.
01:54:29.140 --> 01:54:30.966
Our team was tracking both.
01:54:32.249 --> 01:54:34.363
Sukesh Pande, a man who never slips,
01:54:34.364 --> 01:54:36.575
suddenly publishes a fake story.
01:54:36.929 --> 01:54:38.723
And Poonam shows up right there.
01:54:39.421 --> 01:54:41.685
A staged Central Agency raid
01:54:41.686 --> 01:54:44.529
at the Kerala CM's residence.
01:54:45.843 --> 01:54:47.709
Within 72 hours, John Varghese becomes
01:54:47.710 --> 01:54:49.608
a youth icon and political hero.
01:54:50.015 --> 01:54:52.537
A perfectly scripted narrative
takes over social media.
01:54:53.101 --> 01:54:56.085
Google optimisation at its crazy peak.
01:54:56.796 --> 01:54:58.099
John is sharp.
01:54:59.413 --> 01:55:00.421
A very sharp player.
01:55:01.429 --> 01:55:04.209
He weaponised the media
and manufactured an image.
01:55:04.811 --> 01:55:07.561
His game mirrors ours,
constructing truth.
01:55:08.920 --> 01:55:09.928
Don't get rattled.
01:55:10.702 --> 01:55:12.881
We can still strike a deal
with someone
01:55:13.053 --> 01:55:15.194
who understands power games.
01:55:16.218 --> 01:55:17.568
I don't think so, Ravi.
01:55:18.225 --> 01:55:20.052
If it were Purushothaman or Tobin,
01:55:20.053 --> 01:55:21.443
we'd have full control.
01:55:21.444 --> 01:55:23.131
And we would have had a puppet CM.
01:55:23.132 --> 01:55:24.140
But him...
01:55:25.843 --> 01:55:28.709
He's unpredictable, and far too clever.
01:55:29.178 --> 01:55:31.726
The X factor we never saw coming.
01:55:34.554 --> 01:55:36.976
Damn Varghese sir's death!
01:55:37.960 --> 01:55:39.685
Unnecessary collateral damage!
01:55:46.499 --> 01:55:47.780
Something wrong?
01:55:48.577 --> 01:55:49.873
No. Something is right.
01:55:54.140 --> 01:55:55.208
It's an old incident.
01:55:55.209 --> 01:55:56.763
Back in 1986,
01:55:57.757 --> 01:56:00.444
there was a custodial death
at Keezhthadam Police Station, Idukki
01:56:01.476 --> 01:56:02.951
an estate worker.
01:56:05.655 --> 01:56:09.084
He was accused of stealing
ten sacks of cardamom from Plackal Estate.
01:56:09.351 --> 01:56:12.896
The case was filed
by the local feudal lord, Vakkachan.
01:56:14.288 --> 01:56:16.437
Out of blind loyalty to him,
01:56:16.438 --> 01:56:19.835
the SP and his men
beat the poor fellow to death.
01:56:21.976 --> 01:56:23.889
When the labourers found out
he died in custody,
01:56:23.890 --> 01:56:25.600
they surrounded the police station.
01:56:26.459 --> 01:56:28.678
When the enquiry started going
too close to the truth,
01:56:28.679 --> 01:56:31.616
everyone,
from the SP down to the SI, closed ranks.
01:56:32.327 --> 01:56:36.787
And the blame was pinned
on a poor ASI who was on night duty.
01:56:39.733 --> 01:56:41.091
Poor man!
01:56:41.804 --> 01:56:44.069
Terrified of losing his job
and facing arrest,
01:56:44.444 --> 01:56:46.599
he ran for help...
01:56:46.936 --> 01:56:48.819
to Varghese's right-hand man,
01:56:49.374 --> 01:56:52.968
the then Home Minister, MLA Ramakrishnan.
01:56:53.279 --> 01:56:55.512
I took him to Varghese sir.
01:56:55.740 --> 01:56:57.849
The pressure on him was enormous.
01:56:57.960 --> 01:57:01.115
The Chief Minister, Home Secretary,
the DGP, everyone...
01:57:01.116 --> 01:57:03.764
to save the SP and his men,
01:57:03.765 --> 01:57:05.709
sacrificed one ASI.
01:57:07.460 --> 01:57:08.982
So Varghese sir abandoned him.
01:57:09.482 --> 01:57:11.623
He lost his job and was arrested.
01:57:11.747 --> 01:57:14.451
My mother and I used to visit
my father in jail.
01:57:17.460 --> 01:57:20.185
He would just stand there,
staring at us, silent.
01:57:20.991 --> 01:57:21.999
Then he would cry.
01:57:23.233 --> 01:57:25.513
My mother would cry too,
once we stepped outside.
01:57:26.335 --> 01:57:27.910
I'd feel tears welling up,
01:57:27.911 --> 01:57:30.318
but it was hunger
that hurt me more than grief.
01:57:33.007 --> 01:57:35.303
My mother fought the case
by borrowing money,
01:57:35.445 --> 01:57:37.546
pledging, selling,
everything she owned.
01:57:38.687 --> 01:57:40.999
My father got bail on the 86th day.
01:57:41.898 --> 01:57:42.905
He came home.
01:57:44.249 --> 01:57:46.968
The next day, I was playing with a friend.
01:57:49.241 --> 01:57:53.003
I saw my father walk out of the house,
into the rain.
01:57:54.764 --> 01:57:57.037
When he didn't return for a long time,
01:57:57.319 --> 01:57:59.108
my mother took me along to search for him.
01:58:00.601 --> 01:58:02.179
We didn't have to go far.
01:58:21.599 --> 01:58:24.176
I never felt hatred
or a thirst for revenge
01:58:24.177 --> 01:58:26.124
towards Varghese sir
for abandoning my father.
01:58:26.827 --> 01:58:29.108
When he gave up under political pressure,
01:58:29.296 --> 01:58:31.585
he never imagined
my father would take his own life.
01:58:32.483 --> 01:58:34.201
In the same way, when I trapped him,
01:58:34.202 --> 01:58:35.530
even I didn't know...
01:58:36.327 --> 01:58:37.686
that shock would kill him...
01:58:38.155 --> 01:58:40.006
that he was so fragile.
01:58:41.944 --> 01:58:43.405
The score is settled now.
01:58:44.201 --> 01:58:45.209
But one thing is certain,
01:58:45.819 --> 01:58:47.499
whether I want it or not,
01:58:48.092 --> 01:58:49.639
the one destined to fall by my hands
01:58:49.640 --> 01:58:50.952
will fall by my hands.
01:58:51.827 --> 01:58:53.655
In today's India,
01:58:53.756 --> 01:58:56.207
corporations like the RM Group,
01:58:56.302 --> 01:58:58.193
which controls multiple media houses,
01:58:58.194 --> 01:59:00.209
stand taller than a Chief Minister.
01:59:00.757 --> 01:59:03.855
If they decide to go all out,
nothing is impossible.
01:59:03.856 --> 01:59:05.597
Isn't Varghese sir's downfall proof enough?
01:59:08.476 --> 01:59:10.847
Ravi Madhavan is a corporate criminal.
01:59:11.085 --> 01:59:12.925
You must be extremely careful with him.
01:59:13.310 --> 01:59:14.838
He's beyond what we can handle.
01:59:15.096 --> 01:59:16.877
Sir, you know him better than anyone.
01:59:19.749 --> 01:59:20.757
What about me?
01:59:22.366 --> 01:59:24.253
I know, you're Varghese sir's blood.
01:59:24.679 --> 01:59:26.287
The last thing he told me was,
01:59:26.585 --> 01:59:27.928
"Let's fight."
01:59:28.898 --> 01:59:31.016
And then he went to sleep.
01:59:31.244 --> 01:59:33.588
I need to visit him,
light a candle at his grave,
01:59:33.589 --> 01:59:35.644
and tell him he won.
01:59:35.771 --> 01:59:38.439
He should know this,
01:59:38.440 --> 01:59:41.072
the dead Varghese
is far more powerful than the living one.
01:59:42.101 --> 01:59:43.967
The senior-most leader of CPN
01:59:43.968 --> 01:59:47.394
and the very symbol
of indomitable resistance, P. Jayadevan,
01:59:47.395 --> 01:59:49.410
is out of the Party leadership!
01:59:49.639 --> 01:59:52.109
Today, Party Secretary M. Gopalan
personally called Jayadevan
01:59:52.110 --> 01:59:53.992
and informed him of the Party’s decision.
01:59:54.286 --> 01:59:56.419
Satheesh Chettan,
wasn’t it you who got this news?
01:59:56.420 --> 01:59:57.412
Yes.
01:59:57.413 --> 01:59:59.428
Didn’t Comrade Jayadevan tell
the Party Secretary
01:59:59.429 --> 02:00:00.833
he’d step away voluntarily?
02:00:00.834 --> 02:00:01.960
That’s the truth.
02:00:01.961 --> 02:00:03.616
But what he is reporting now is the news.
02:00:14.390 --> 02:00:16.218
Can you please come to the room?
02:00:27.093 --> 02:00:28.101
Mom...
02:00:30.420 --> 02:00:31.428
Come in, dear.
02:00:31.858 --> 02:00:33.874
It's been so many days since I saw you.
02:00:34.241 --> 02:00:36.553
I came to see both of you
and to say something.
02:00:37.562 --> 02:00:39.022
Rosa... I...
02:00:40.180 --> 02:00:42.071
I called Comrade
the moment I heard the news.
02:00:42.821 --> 02:00:44.547
He didn’t pick up.
02:00:44.868 --> 02:00:46.109
For what?
02:00:46.110 --> 02:00:47.532
What would you tell him?
02:00:48.679 --> 02:00:50.733
I’ve been waiting all these days,
02:00:51.062 --> 02:00:54.413
Thinking you’d tell me something
that would make sense to me.
02:00:57.287 --> 02:00:59.461
It’s a tragedy to keep calculating
02:00:59.462 --> 02:01:00.794
what’s on your partner’s mind.
02:01:00.795 --> 02:01:02.241
A terrible state to be in.
02:01:02.765 --> 02:01:05.515
I know you will respect
whatever decision I make.
02:01:06.499 --> 02:01:07.507
I’ll call you.
02:01:09.069 --> 02:01:10.522
I'm leaving, Mom…
02:01:25.147 --> 02:01:28.443
Pradeep will come from the Party Centre
to drop me at the station.
02:01:28.928 --> 02:01:30.442
Don’t trouble yourself.
02:01:30.577 --> 02:01:31.936
I’m coming with you, Dad.
02:01:32.187 --> 02:01:33.663
I got a ticket in Tatkal.
02:01:33.858 --> 02:01:35.741
It’s been a while since I visited home.
02:01:37.273 --> 02:01:38.280
Dear,
02:01:38.663 --> 02:01:41.655
do you want to tell me something?
02:01:43.217 --> 02:01:46.029
I don’t think things will work
between John and me anymore, Dad.
02:01:46.132 --> 02:01:48.264
He’s still not talking to me properly,
02:01:48.265 --> 02:01:50.076
even now when you are in a crisis.
02:01:52.421 --> 02:01:54.780
Don’t worry about me.
02:01:55.123 --> 02:01:58.467
I spoke to Gopalettan and
asked him to remove me from the committee.
02:01:58.646 --> 02:01:59.909
He didn’t agree.
02:02:00.109 --> 02:02:03.318
The Party has given me charge
of the Kerala Yatra
02:02:03.530 --> 02:02:06.894
starting on the 9th of next month,
against the state government.
02:02:07.241 --> 02:02:10.671
I’ll be leading the political campaign
against John.
02:02:10.968 --> 02:02:13.342
But that’s not the only issue, Dad.
02:02:14.188 --> 02:02:15.896
A day before your mother passed away,
02:02:16.680 --> 02:02:19.063
she asked me something for the first time.
02:02:20.383 --> 02:02:21.700
That you shouldn’t feel lonely
02:02:22.562 --> 02:02:24.036
amidst my busy schedule.
02:02:24.852 --> 02:02:26.513
Since then, I’ve tried
02:02:27.008 --> 02:02:28.958
to be your best friend.
02:02:29.688 --> 02:02:33.200
You should tell me how much I’ve succeeded.
02:02:39.703 --> 02:02:42.251
There’s helplessness
in John’s silence, dear.
02:02:43.532 --> 02:02:45.536
Give him some more time.
02:02:45.923 --> 02:02:47.335
He’ll talk to you.
02:02:47.336 --> 02:02:48.685
Listen to him first,
02:02:49.087 --> 02:02:50.095
then decide.
02:02:51.891 --> 02:02:54.379
There’s nothing harder to bear
02:02:54.380 --> 02:02:57.040
than the sense of loss.
02:02:58.766 --> 02:03:00.913
I miss your mother so much
02:03:00.914 --> 02:03:03.030
whenever I am alone.
02:03:15.454 --> 02:03:16.889
Hi. Any leads?
02:03:17.180 --> 02:03:23.422
Yeah, she and her kid were taken
to Nepal on October 21.
02:03:23.883 --> 02:03:24.915
Nepal?
02:03:24.916 --> 02:03:27.569
Couriers moved them
straight from the airport,
02:03:27.926 --> 02:03:30.481
then a local gang took custody.
02:03:30.801 --> 02:03:33.882
The mother and daughter
were forced into Nepal,
02:03:34.250 --> 02:03:35.779
and now they’re being held
02:03:36.115 --> 02:03:38.772
somewhere around Lumbini.
02:03:39.287 --> 02:03:40.295
Just find them.
02:03:40.750 --> 02:03:42.131
And extract them?
02:03:43.601 --> 02:03:44.609
No.
02:03:44.945 --> 02:03:47.094
Ravi Madhavan will do it for me.
02:03:53.052 --> 02:03:54.661
Everyone's gone through the note
02:03:54.662 --> 02:03:56.935
on the IT policy
we plan to roll out, right?
02:03:57.126 --> 02:03:58.600
So, shall we proceed?
02:03:58.907 --> 02:04:01.906
CM, this comes with a massive
financial burden.
02:04:01.907 --> 02:04:04.092
And on top of that, it completely sidelines
02:04:04.093 --> 02:04:06.975
the project Ravi Madhavan
is launching at the IT conclave.
02:04:06.976 --> 02:04:08.413
Not to forget,
02:04:08.414 --> 02:04:10.859
he's ready to invest 25,000 crores
in the very first phase.
02:04:10.860 --> 02:04:13.226
CM, there's absolutely no need
02:04:13.227 --> 02:04:15.999
to hand over information technology
entirely to private players.
02:04:16.143 --> 02:04:17.867
I stand with your vision.
02:04:18.142 --> 02:04:20.366
This will bring us massive
public support, CM.
02:04:21.188 --> 02:04:24.078
So we're agreed on this, then?
02:04:24.865 --> 02:04:27.771
This IT policy will be completely free
02:04:27.897 --> 02:04:31.247
for ordinary citizens below
a fixed income bracket.
02:04:32.077 --> 02:04:34.376
Kerala will become India's first state
02:04:34.377 --> 02:04:37.478
to guarantee unrestricted data freedom.
02:04:37.822 --> 02:04:38.830
Understood?
02:04:39.282 --> 02:04:41.092
He played us perfectly!
02:04:41.432 --> 02:04:43.804
The government's free internet scheme!
02:04:44.221 --> 02:04:45.642
So what's our next move?
02:04:45.643 --> 02:04:48.414
John Varghese won't be the CM
to announce that scheme.
02:04:49.086 --> 02:04:50.873
More details at the conclave.
02:04:52.695 --> 02:04:53.852
CM...
02:04:54.342 --> 02:04:57.507
No changes to the IT conclave
curtain-raiser programme, right?
02:04:57.680 --> 02:04:59.710
No changes.
That's the assurance I gave you.
02:05:00.126 --> 02:05:01.684
And, congratulations.
02:05:01.929 --> 02:05:03.468
Even if competitors allege
02:05:03.469 --> 02:05:06.744
the new TRP ratings were rigged,
I won't believe it.
02:05:06.745 --> 02:05:07.947
Thanks.
02:05:35.046 --> 02:05:36.512
Welcome, Ravi ji.
02:05:37.430 --> 02:05:39.429
- Everything okay?
- Yes. All good.
02:05:39.430 --> 02:05:40.992
Please come. Let's go inside.
02:06:09.210 --> 02:06:10.218
Her fever has subsided.
02:06:10.860 --> 02:06:13.493
Why are you treating
me and my daughter like this?
02:06:13.494 --> 02:06:15.681
Have I ever been disloyal to you?
02:06:15.682 --> 02:06:17.266
I did everything you asked.
02:06:17.751 --> 02:06:20.219
And an innocent man died because of us.
02:06:21.219 --> 02:06:24.117
Everything between us
was purely transactional, Nisha.
02:06:25.424 --> 02:06:27.087
You followed my instructions.
02:06:29.401 --> 02:06:31.501
And you were paid for your services.
02:06:32.018 --> 02:06:35.219
You promised me a good life in the UK
once this was over.
02:06:35.220 --> 02:06:37.063
I believed you.
That was my mistake.
02:06:37.554 --> 02:06:39.330
I should never have trusted you.
02:06:39.331 --> 02:06:40.338
Exactly.
02:06:41.848 --> 02:06:44.073
After knowing me for six years,
02:06:44.277 --> 02:06:45.948
you should've known better, Nisha.
02:06:46.512 --> 02:06:50.512
Or did you imagine
there was something emotional between us?
02:06:53.120 --> 02:06:55.681
That exceptional talent of yours,
convincing people...
02:06:56.863 --> 02:06:59.043
I need it one last time.
02:06:59.776 --> 02:07:01.736
You'll have to travel to Kerala again.
02:07:02.793 --> 02:07:03.801
Alone.
02:07:05.137 --> 02:07:06.822
I'll tell you what needs to be done.
02:07:08.855 --> 02:07:10.815
Until then,
they'll take care of your daughter.
02:07:12.699 --> 02:07:14.330
If you pull this off,
02:07:15.308 --> 02:07:18.566
that life I promised you,
it will happen.
02:07:18.980 --> 02:07:19.988
No.
02:07:20.285 --> 02:07:21.293
I'm done.
02:07:21.801 --> 02:07:22.808
You can kill me.
02:07:23.465 --> 02:07:25.143
Kill you?
02:07:26.035 --> 02:07:27.043
You're far too valuable.
02:07:41.746 --> 02:07:42.968
Take the kid away.
02:07:43.581 --> 02:07:45.298
Transport Nisha immediately.
02:07:45.762 --> 02:07:47.901
She should reach Kerala
by tomorrow evening.
02:08:00.692 --> 02:08:02.084
- Come, girl.
- Mom...
02:08:02.085 --> 02:08:03.421
- Mom...
- Come.
02:08:05.342 --> 02:08:06.725
Let go of me.
02:08:06.726 --> 02:08:09.169
Mom... Mom...
02:08:10.151 --> 02:08:12.400
Sir, as instructed,
02:08:12.401 --> 02:08:14.309
the child has been moved
to a safe location.
02:08:14.483 --> 02:08:16.500
Nisha has also been taken to the airport.
02:08:16.683 --> 02:08:17.691
Alright.
02:09:15.746 --> 02:09:17.824
Nisha, tell me what's going on.
02:09:18.941 --> 02:09:20.533
Why did you come here now?
02:09:21.230 --> 02:09:23.182
Why did you call me here?
02:09:23.715 --> 02:09:25.018
This is dangerous.
02:09:25.848 --> 02:09:27.135
Extremely dangerous.
02:09:29.144 --> 02:09:31.409
If anyone sees us together...
02:09:33.832 --> 02:09:34.840
I know.
02:09:35.331 --> 02:09:36.877
This is their doing, isn't it?
02:09:38.300 --> 02:09:40.494
Ever since that ugly stunt
with my father,
02:09:40.839 --> 02:09:42.759
I cut off all contact with them.
02:09:44.082 --> 02:09:46.322
So what the hell is happening now?
02:09:49.328 --> 02:09:51.430
Hey! Hey! Come quickly!
02:09:51.431 --> 02:09:52.516
- Oh, no!
- Come fast!
02:09:52.517 --> 02:09:54.305
- An accident!
- Try opening the door!
02:09:54.306 --> 02:09:55.982
Hey, move aside.
02:09:55.983 --> 02:09:57.153
They look familiar!
02:09:57.577 --> 02:09:58.780
Open the door!
02:10:02.242 --> 02:10:05.367
To the shocking details of a story
that has shaken Kerala.
02:10:05.368 --> 02:10:07.609
The survivor who accused
02:10:07.610 --> 02:10:10.579
former Chief Minister
and mass leader K.N. Varghese
02:10:10.749 --> 02:10:13.430
was seen boarding a flight to London
02:10:13.431 --> 02:10:15.274
on the very day of his death.
02:10:15.500 --> 02:10:19.820
And today, she was spotted
travelling in a car with Tobin Varghese,
02:10:19.821 --> 02:10:23.334
MP, eldest son of K.N. Varghese,
and brother of the current CM.
02:10:23.335 --> 02:10:24.890
Everyone, please wait outside.
02:10:25.071 --> 02:10:27.032
I need to speak to the CM.
02:10:27.171 --> 02:10:29.547
Tobin Varghese's role
in both the sexual assault case
02:10:29.548 --> 02:10:32.430
and Varghese's death
has now come to light.
02:10:32.431 --> 02:10:34.290
- Sir, please sit.
- Don't tell me to sit!
02:10:35.551 --> 02:10:36.895
Did you see this?
02:10:38.076 --> 02:10:39.897
Because of you and your family,
02:10:39.898 --> 02:10:41.633
the party has hit rock bottom.
02:10:41.938 --> 02:10:45.576
The woman who accused the father
is seen with the elder son.
02:10:46.040 --> 02:10:49.076
And the younger son's police force
moves in to "protect" them!
02:10:49.946 --> 02:10:52.139
On what grounds did the police detain her?
02:10:52.360 --> 02:10:53.368
And then what?
02:10:53.610 --> 02:10:57.560
They help MP Tobin Varghese
escape straight from the hospital!
02:10:57.983 --> 02:10:59.015
Brilliant!
02:10:59.016 --> 02:11:02.327
It's the police's duty
to protect that woman.
02:11:02.796 --> 02:11:05.958
Both of you better end this dirty game,
02:11:06.062 --> 02:11:08.373
now, at this very night!
02:11:09.813 --> 02:11:13.568
Once they said I framed Varghese.
02:11:14.360 --> 02:11:17.436
Now the world knows,
his own sons destroyed him.
02:11:18.891 --> 02:11:21.571
Protect your brother who pimped
for your father,
02:11:21.836 --> 02:11:23.677
and you won't sit in that chair, John!
02:11:25.507 --> 02:11:27.505
I'm willing to resign, sir.
02:11:28.602 --> 02:11:31.438
Give me time till tomorrow morning.
02:11:32.430 --> 02:11:33.920
Like I always say,
02:11:34.779 --> 02:11:37.505
I am just a stop-gap arrangement
02:11:53.637 --> 02:11:56.315
You left the country
the same morning CM Varghese sir died,
02:11:56.490 --> 02:11:58.100
without informing anyone.
Am I right?
02:11:58.611 --> 02:12:00.810
If you say it was due to
fear of public reaction,
02:12:01.063 --> 02:12:02.266
we can understand that.
02:12:04.056 --> 02:12:06.530
And now you've returned
to Kerala from Nepal.
02:12:06.675 --> 02:12:09.262
You were in Nepal for the past 37 days.
02:12:09.396 --> 02:12:11.544
May I know what's your Nepal connection?
02:12:11.863 --> 02:12:13.478
May I know why you're detaining me?
02:12:13.970 --> 02:12:15.041
Am I an accused?
02:12:15.650 --> 02:12:17.027
Your allegation is that
02:12:17.028 --> 02:12:18.983
the former Chief Minister
sexually assaulted you.
02:12:19.590 --> 02:12:22.126
Yet, the moment you landed in Kerala,
02:12:22.236 --> 02:12:24.646
you got into the car of his son,
MP Tobin Varghese.
02:12:25.236 --> 02:12:26.819
Shouldn't that be investigated, madam?
02:12:27.643 --> 02:12:28.650
And where is he?
02:12:29.043 --> 02:12:30.219
You're protecting him?
02:12:32.356 --> 02:12:34.609
What's the relationship
between you and Tobin Varghese?
02:12:34.970 --> 02:12:36.249
No matter what I say,
02:12:36.435 --> 02:12:37.905
you'll have your own version.
02:12:38.009 --> 02:12:39.063
His mate.
02:12:39.064 --> 02:12:40.352
His illicit relation.
02:12:40.850 --> 02:12:41.856
His keep.
02:12:42.650 --> 02:12:44.396
Even if the media calls me a survivor,
02:12:44.868 --> 02:12:46.322
your version will be different.
02:12:46.710 --> 02:12:48.402
I raised the allegations against the CM
02:12:48.403 --> 02:12:49.743
because Tobin told me to.
02:12:50.010 --> 02:12:52.329
He promised me
he would become the next CM.
02:12:52.910 --> 02:12:54.607
But he didn't come to power.
02:12:55.256 --> 02:12:56.462
So, he ditched me.
02:12:56.943 --> 02:12:58.768
And I said I'll expose him.
02:12:59.136 --> 02:13:00.489
After that I was contacted by
02:13:00.490 --> 02:13:02.360
the current CM, his brother.
02:13:02.849 --> 02:13:05.079
He called and said
he would settle everything.
02:13:05.288 --> 02:13:07.954
Only now did I realise it was a trap.
02:13:08.510 --> 02:13:10.206
You must produce me before the court.
02:13:10.386 --> 02:13:11.837
I want to record a 164.
02:13:19.915 --> 02:13:21.053
- What's up?
- Madam...
02:13:21.230 --> 02:13:22.860
The CM's family is inside.
02:13:23.076 --> 02:13:25.403
He asked you to wait when you arrive.
02:13:27.716 --> 02:13:29.502
No matter how hard I try to defend you,
02:13:29.503 --> 02:13:32.407
I've strong evidence regarding Nisha.
02:13:33.175 --> 02:13:35.819
From the time Ishaan Tejus
connected you to her in Dubai,
02:13:36.021 --> 02:13:38.431
to meeting her secretly
at your Palode house
02:13:38.432 --> 02:13:40.884
on the day the opposition marched
to the Secretariat.
02:13:43.869 --> 02:13:45.964
It's been going on
for two years, hasn't it?
02:13:50.796 --> 02:13:52.222
Whatever you're saying is true.
02:13:53.110 --> 02:13:55.360
But... I didn't betray Dad.
02:13:56.103 --> 02:13:57.274
I swear on God.
02:13:57.383 --> 02:14:00.852
The great MP Tobin Varghese didn't even
have the basic sense to realise
02:14:01.063 --> 02:14:03.095
she was trying to trap Dad.
02:14:05.110 --> 02:14:07.985
Ever since her allegations
against Dad surfaced,
02:14:08.530 --> 02:14:10.650
I've been trying to contact her,
02:14:11.483 --> 02:14:12.490
but couldn't.
02:14:13.930 --> 02:14:15.848
I was terrified all this time.
02:14:16.836 --> 02:14:18.934
Then she called me the other day,
02:14:19.428 --> 02:14:20.501
said she was coming here
02:14:20.502 --> 02:14:21.708
and wanted to see me.
02:14:23.054 --> 02:14:24.790
She pressured me so much.
02:14:25.167 --> 02:14:26.907
I couldn't get out of it.
02:14:29.303 --> 02:14:31.563
I was the one who introduced her to Dad.
02:14:32.810 --> 02:14:33.816
That's why...
02:14:34.463 --> 02:14:37.376
I couldn't face Dad that night...
02:14:39.623 --> 02:14:41.368
Save your tears for later.
02:14:43.523 --> 02:14:44.954
One Nation, One Information.
02:14:44.955 --> 02:14:47.228
Were you involved in that project, Ichayan?
02:14:47.710 --> 02:14:48.716
No.
02:14:48.856 --> 02:14:52.527
Ishaan ji told me he'd consider me
if it went through.
02:14:52.528 --> 02:14:53.821
Ishaan ji, huh!
02:14:53.943 --> 02:14:57.306
You were nothing more than
a useful fool to them.
02:14:58.336 --> 02:15:00.454
They set Nisha up to frame Dad
02:15:00.676 --> 02:15:02.308
if he suspects something is off
02:15:02.309 --> 02:15:03.442
about their project.
02:15:03.935 --> 02:15:05.890
They built a relationship
between you and her
02:15:05.891 --> 02:15:08.446
so they could use you
to prove Dad's involvement
02:15:08.569 --> 02:15:10.209
if an allegation ever came up.
02:15:11.197 --> 02:15:13.044
They even had the President
in their pocket.
02:15:13.271 --> 02:15:15.690
They hold the strings
no matter who's in power.
02:15:16.370 --> 02:15:18.203
When they saw me standing up to them,
02:15:18.375 --> 02:15:20.924
they brought Nisha back
and exposed your relationship.
02:15:21.042 --> 02:15:23.547
Now, they're running a smear campaign
to discredit me.
02:15:24.036 --> 02:15:26.056
I'll confess everything.
02:15:27.116 --> 02:15:29.531
I'll make sure
nothing happens to you, dear.
02:15:32.636 --> 02:15:35.392
Do you even know
your father died of heartbreak?
02:15:39.459 --> 02:15:40.538
Aha!
02:15:40.896 --> 02:15:42.907
My darling's here!
02:15:43.463 --> 02:15:46.321
Go tell your mother goodnight
and come back.
02:15:46.830 --> 02:15:50.306
Tonight, Grandpa wants to sleep
hugging my dear Mariyam.
02:15:54.063 --> 02:15:55.696
What are you waiting for?
02:15:56.143 --> 02:15:57.634
Go tell your mother and come.
02:15:57.771 --> 02:15:59.774
No! I won't come.
02:15:59.986 --> 02:16:02.850
I'm not going to sleep with you
ever again, Grandpa.
02:16:04.043 --> 02:16:05.050
Why, sweetheart?
02:16:05.823 --> 02:16:07.556
Are you angry with Grandpa?
02:16:08.145 --> 02:16:09.544
Isn't your grandpa a poor old man?
02:16:09.545 --> 02:16:11.745
No, Grandpa, you're bad!
02:16:11.862 --> 02:16:14.522
They said so on TV and in this too.
02:16:14.824 --> 02:16:16.864
And Mamma said the same on the phone!
02:16:16.865 --> 02:16:19.866
Mamma told me I should only sleep with her
02:16:19.867 --> 02:16:21.806
and Papa from now on.
02:16:21.976 --> 02:16:25.450
Mamma said not to sleep with
Grandpa ever again.
02:16:26.563 --> 02:16:28.253
Grandpa is bad!
02:16:31.489 --> 02:16:32.496
Annamma...
02:16:32.970 --> 02:16:34.209
What did she just say...?
02:16:34.516 --> 02:16:36.633
She said it without knowing anything.
02:16:36.743 --> 02:16:39.349
- But still... why would she say this?
- Come, let's go to our room.
02:16:39.988 --> 02:16:41.902
I can't believe I had to hear that...
02:16:41.903 --> 02:16:43.295
Please don't cry...
02:16:43.436 --> 02:16:44.594
I can't watch it...
02:16:47.856 --> 02:16:49.683
Your father didn't sleep that night.
02:16:50.595 --> 02:16:53.161
He kept tossing in bed all night.
02:16:54.930 --> 02:16:56.626
And sometime between, I fell asleep...
02:16:58.329 --> 02:16:59.572
When I woke up...
02:17:02.005 --> 02:17:03.151
he had...
02:17:05.563 --> 02:17:07.082
You killed your father!
02:17:07.289 --> 02:17:08.295
YOU!
02:17:12.826 --> 02:17:13.833
Dear...
02:17:14.892 --> 02:17:16.956
You kept this distance from my son...
02:17:17.766 --> 02:17:19.696
because he became
the Chief Minister, right?
02:17:21.066 --> 02:17:22.688
I told him that no matter what,
02:17:24.006 --> 02:17:25.680
he must sit in his father's chair.
02:17:25.900 --> 02:17:28.056
That was my decision.
02:17:30.493 --> 02:17:32.314
I also told him not to let anyone...
02:17:32.832 --> 02:17:34.586
responsible for his father's death
02:17:35.026 --> 02:17:36.340
walk free.
02:17:38.693 --> 02:17:40.198
If he could turn into a bad person
02:17:40.199 --> 02:17:41.759
even in front of a small child,
02:17:42.626 --> 02:17:44.571
what would those who
sang hymns at his funeral
02:17:44.572 --> 02:17:46.018
and kissed his hand in farewell
02:17:46.279 --> 02:17:48.118
have said about him in private?
02:17:49.633 --> 02:17:51.251
I told John not to tell anyone
02:17:51.707 --> 02:17:54.892
until the truth came out.
02:17:57.439 --> 02:17:58.885
For his father's sake,
02:17:59.646 --> 02:18:01.766
please forgive my selfishness, dear.
02:18:06.453 --> 02:18:08.190
John told me this morning
02:18:08.726 --> 02:18:10.720
that that wretched woman
would be coming here.
02:18:12.253 --> 02:18:15.433
I told him not to show you any mercy.
02:18:16.806 --> 02:18:18.038
Even though I knew
02:18:18.832 --> 02:18:20.556
you'd be with her
02:18:20.720 --> 02:18:22.251
when she was arrested.
02:18:22.252 --> 02:18:23.454
It was my decision.
02:18:25.173 --> 02:18:27.712
This is Varghese's wife,
02:18:28.269 --> 02:18:29.790
Annamma, taking her revenge.
02:18:32.993 --> 02:18:34.704
Tara Vijayan is waiting outside.
02:18:36.299 --> 02:18:37.492
You'll have to go with her.
02:18:42.680 --> 02:18:43.686
Mom...
02:18:43.773 --> 02:18:44.780
Don't say a word.
02:18:45.066 --> 02:18:46.073
Just go.
02:19:15.533 --> 02:19:16.985
I haven't changed.
02:19:18.232 --> 02:19:19.239
What can I do?
02:19:20.779 --> 02:19:21.794
I love my father...
02:19:22.893 --> 02:19:24.099
I love him a lot...
02:19:29.776 --> 02:19:31.961
Chief Minister John Varghese has placed
02:19:31.962 --> 02:19:34.188
his strongest focus on the IT sector.
02:19:34.306 --> 02:19:36.747
Which is why today's conclave is crucial.
02:19:36.886 --> 02:19:39.597
An announcement is expected
that major IT companies
02:19:39.598 --> 02:19:42.025
will launch projects worth
billions of rupees in Kerala.
02:19:42.026 --> 02:19:44.522
However, since yesterday,
the situation has grown unclear.
02:19:44.620 --> 02:19:47.003
Now, the political survival
of Chief Minister John Varghese
02:19:47.004 --> 02:19:48.634
appears to be under threat.
02:19:54.893 --> 02:19:57.303
Sir, the government has announced
the Free Internet scheme
02:19:57.304 --> 02:19:59.891
as an alternative to your
One Nation One Information scheme.
02:19:59.892 --> 02:20:00.899
How do you see it?
02:20:02.466 --> 02:20:03.652
This is a free market.
02:20:03.653 --> 02:20:04.842
There will be competition.
02:20:05.239 --> 02:20:07.324
We are also prepared to extend
government benefits
02:20:07.325 --> 02:20:09.271
worth 25000 crore rupees to the people.
02:20:09.626 --> 02:20:11.057
I believe the people and the media
02:20:11.058 --> 02:20:13.347
will understand the reason
behind rejecting it.
02:20:23.433 --> 02:20:25.737
There is no doubt that
this IT conclave marks
02:20:25.738 --> 02:20:27.966
a major step towards Kerala's development.
02:20:28.353 --> 02:20:32.883
Kerala accounts for 71 percent of
India's IT workforce.
02:20:33.079 --> 02:20:35.385
This conclave was conceived and organised
02:20:35.386 --> 02:20:37.580
by Kerala's young Chief Minister,
John Varghese,
02:20:37.581 --> 02:20:39.336
who is himself an IT expert.
02:20:39.833 --> 02:20:41.063
Big congratulations to you.
02:20:46.194 --> 02:20:47.884
Thank you, CM, for taking the time
02:20:47.885 --> 02:20:49.965
to speak to On Time
for this face-to-face interview
02:20:49.966 --> 02:20:51.162
at this inauguration venue.
02:20:52.467 --> 02:20:54.021
I should be the one thanking you.
02:20:54.585 --> 02:20:56.079
For giving me a platform
02:20:56.226 --> 02:20:57.359
to say what I have to say.
02:20:59.276 --> 02:21:01.362
The 90 days you've completed since assuming
02:21:01.363 --> 02:21:03.200
office have raised great hope in Kerala.
02:21:03.553 --> 02:21:05.109
Your steps against corruption,
02:21:05.299 --> 02:21:06.973
giving priority to youth in the cabinet,
02:21:06.974 --> 02:21:08.659
and the new IT policy have all stood out.
02:21:08.660 --> 02:21:10.884
But things are no longer
so straightforward.
02:21:13.740 --> 02:21:15.661
You are now facing a major crisis.
02:21:18.666 --> 02:21:20.304
The return of the woman who made
02:21:20.305 --> 02:21:21.980
sexual allegations against your father,
02:21:21.981 --> 02:21:24.612
and the questions surrounding her
relationship with your brother.
02:21:24.613 --> 02:21:26.892
Taking into account the statements
they are believed
02:21:27.053 --> 02:21:28.312
to have given the police,
02:21:28.313 --> 02:21:30.386
you seem to be in a tight spot, CM.
02:21:34.393 --> 02:21:36.058
This isn't just my assessment...
02:21:36.333 --> 02:21:38.495
it's a view shared by the public as well.
02:21:40.233 --> 02:21:41.494
Whatever you said is right.
02:21:41.753 --> 02:21:42.760
I agree.
02:21:44.280 --> 02:21:46.205
Wasn't it your brother, Tobin Varghese,
02:21:46.206 --> 02:21:49.347
who facilitated the alleged relationship
02:21:49.597 --> 02:21:51.986
between the late Varghese
Sir and the survivor?
02:21:56.673 --> 02:21:58.952
Who protected her after she left for London
02:21:58.953 --> 02:22:00.732
following Varghese Sir's death?
02:22:01.399 --> 02:22:03.986
What promise did he make to her?
02:22:04.153 --> 02:22:05.386
There is no doubt
02:22:05.387 --> 02:22:07.400
that person was Tobin Varghese.
02:22:07.573 --> 02:22:09.295
A fallout between them may have
02:22:09.533 --> 02:22:11.615
brought her back to the capital yesterday.
02:22:16.008 --> 02:22:17.091
Let me go.
02:22:17.092 --> 02:22:18.196
Mom...
02:22:18.286 --> 02:22:19.292
Leave me...
02:22:49.579 --> 02:22:51.650
Sir, the child is still in our custody.
02:22:51.651 --> 02:22:53.746
just like you asked us to.
02:22:54.163 --> 02:22:55.723
Nisha has been taken to the airport.
02:22:56.229 --> 02:22:59.720
Everything has been done
as per your instructions, sir.
02:23:02.033 --> 02:23:03.893
But an unexpected accident
02:23:04.026 --> 02:23:06.373
threw both your
and your brother's plans off course.
02:23:06.726 --> 02:23:08.031
Though you stepped in to contain
02:23:08.032 --> 02:23:09.791
the damage and close all loopholes.
02:23:10.246 --> 02:23:12.165
The survivor was taken into police custody,
02:23:12.166 --> 02:23:13.355
for reasons still unknown.
02:23:13.746 --> 02:23:15.399
And the whereabouts of MP Tobin Varghese
02:23:15.400 --> 02:23:16.439
remain unclear as well.
02:23:16.440 --> 02:23:17.446
Isn't that true, CM?
02:23:18.680 --> 02:23:19.686
It's not true.
02:23:20.026 --> 02:23:21.033
Why do you say so?
02:23:21.973 --> 02:23:23.670
That accident was planned.
02:23:27.280 --> 02:23:30.161
Exactly one minute and ten seconds
after the accident,
02:23:30.433 --> 02:23:33.243
your channel was already on the scene.
02:23:34.192 --> 02:23:35.199
How?
02:23:36.326 --> 02:23:37.333
Nice one, CM.
02:23:37.753 --> 02:23:39.872
Is it wrong for us
to report an important incident?
02:23:40.025 --> 02:23:41.320
But that's not what happened.
02:23:41.680 --> 02:23:44.478
You knew an accident would happen.
02:23:44.788 --> 02:23:47.053
That's why your team was already positioned
02:23:47.054 --> 02:23:48.848
just metres away from the accident site.
02:23:49.286 --> 02:23:52.478
You told them
it was to cover a police combing.
02:23:55.420 --> 02:23:58.663
Yes, our team reached there
anticipating such a news.
02:23:59.360 --> 02:24:01.651
We broke an exclusive that shocked Kerala.
02:24:01.652 --> 02:24:03.039
Where is the conspiracy in that?
02:24:03.040 --> 02:24:05.232
The conspiracy lies in a phone conversation
02:24:05.233 --> 02:24:09.567
between you and
your channel owner, Ravi Madhavan,
02:24:09.568 --> 02:24:11.704
at 6.53 PM that day.
02:24:13.639 --> 02:24:15.385
A conversation saying the survivor
02:24:15.386 --> 02:24:16.872
has told Tobin Varghese
02:24:16.873 --> 02:24:18.821
exactly where to wait
02:24:19.238 --> 02:24:22.087
and asking you to handle the rest.
02:24:22.250 --> 02:24:23.257
That phone call!
02:24:26.735 --> 02:24:27.714
What the...
02:24:27.715 --> 02:24:29.336
What nonsense are you saying?
02:24:29.906 --> 02:24:31.234
If you have conviction,
02:24:31.235 --> 02:24:32.487
if you have nothing to fear,
02:24:32.646 --> 02:24:34.220
if you have the nerve...
02:24:36.411 --> 02:24:37.557
Play this.
02:24:37.866 --> 02:24:39.343
It's a recording of the phone call
02:24:39.344 --> 02:24:40.763
between you and Ravi Madhavan.
02:24:46.028 --> 02:24:47.672
Aravindan, call theft isn't a big deal
02:24:47.673 --> 02:24:49.970
for someone who knows his job.
02:24:52.587 --> 02:24:54.064
And one more thing...
02:24:54.065 --> 02:24:56.013
The statement the survivor gave the police
02:24:56.299 --> 02:24:57.885
is not the one you're expecting.
02:24:59.840 --> 02:25:01.064
I can produce you in court.
02:25:01.353 --> 02:25:02.692
But watch this video before that
02:25:03.208 --> 02:25:06.172
Ashwini Chandrakumar, aged 9,
has been safely--
02:25:06.173 --> 02:25:07.443
Your daughter is rescued.
02:25:07.806 --> 02:25:08.892
And she's safe.
02:25:08.893 --> 02:25:10.814
She's at the Indian Embassy in Kathmandu.
02:25:11.816 --> 02:25:14.316
She's presently safe and secure.
02:25:14.434 --> 02:25:16.465
Necessary coordination is underway.
02:25:16.466 --> 02:25:17.574
Mom!
02:25:21.218 --> 02:25:22.524
This is an orchestrated move.
02:25:22.669 --> 02:25:23.908
A helpless woman
02:25:23.909 --> 02:25:25.764
has been subjected to state terror.
02:25:25.907 --> 02:25:27.535
And you are forcing her
02:25:27.536 --> 02:25:29.018
to give a statement to the police
02:25:29.019 --> 02:25:31.494
against a media house
that upholds high values
02:25:31.495 --> 02:25:33.728
and is committed
to ensuring justice for her.
02:25:33.911 --> 02:25:36.321
CM, you're playing with fire.
02:25:37.049 --> 02:25:38.851
Then why don't you just play this USB?
02:25:39.403 --> 02:25:40.850
I'm challenging you.
02:25:43.149 --> 02:25:45.095
I'm the Chief Minister of Kerala.
02:25:45.457 --> 02:25:48.759
I'm responsible for
all the audio visuals in this.
02:25:50.282 --> 02:25:51.458
If this is fake...
02:25:51.731 --> 02:25:53.229
I will announce my resignation
02:25:53.489 --> 02:25:54.888
right here, right now.
02:25:59.335 --> 02:26:01.173
Let's play this, Aravindan.
02:26:11.228 --> 02:26:12.848
- Is the team ready?
- Yes.
02:26:13.173 --> 02:26:16.373
The police are combing the area
for three wanted goons.
02:26:16.647 --> 02:26:17.974
That's good.
02:26:18.501 --> 02:26:21.487
You'll be informed five minutes
before the lorry hits.
02:26:21.578 --> 02:26:22.664
Okay.
02:26:51.093 --> 02:26:52.367
You call victims...
02:26:52.966 --> 02:26:54.253
survivors...
02:26:55.560 --> 02:26:56.812
I'm not a survivor.
02:26:57.425 --> 02:26:58.954
I'm a victim.
02:26:59.693 --> 02:27:02.013
A victim of corporate tyranny.
02:27:02.552 --> 02:27:05.552
Behind many big corporate projects,
02:27:06.006 --> 02:27:08.424
there is the silence of victims like me.
02:27:08.619 --> 02:27:09.626
And tears.
02:27:10.224 --> 02:27:12.497
For the past five years,
02:27:12.826 --> 02:27:14.307
Ravi Madhavan has used me
02:27:14.308 --> 02:27:15.566
in many of his operations.
02:27:15.926 --> 02:27:16.933
I'm paid.
02:27:17.220 --> 02:27:18.522
And promised a good life.
02:27:19.206 --> 02:27:22.430
But that wasn't the reason I did
what he asked me to do.
02:27:23.286 --> 02:27:24.622
It's fear and...
02:27:25.053 --> 02:27:26.388
fear is his capital.
02:27:26.800 --> 02:27:28.362
I did what he told me to.
02:27:29.253 --> 02:27:32.280
A false allegation against
the former CM Varghese sir...
02:27:35.756 --> 02:27:37.166
One Nation One Information,
02:27:37.167 --> 02:27:38.990
a project that is designed to enslave
02:27:38.991 --> 02:27:41.148
an entire nation through cyberspace.
02:27:41.319 --> 02:27:42.606
For rejecting that proposal,
02:27:42.607 --> 02:27:44.903
he became a victim of
Ravi Madhavan's corporate terror...
02:27:44.904 --> 02:27:45.910
My father...
02:27:46.599 --> 02:27:47.837
KN Varghese.
02:27:49.687 --> 02:27:50.962
Ravi Madhavan...
02:27:51.361 --> 02:27:54.309
I came here far more prepared than you.
02:27:54.786 --> 02:27:56.577
Every decision you took...
02:27:56.746 --> 02:27:57.753
was mine.
02:27:57.986 --> 02:27:59.444
I was controlling you.
02:28:04.180 --> 02:28:06.419
When corporate criminals own the media,
02:28:06.660 --> 02:28:07.886
truth turns into fiction,
02:28:08.106 --> 02:28:09.492
and fiction becomes the narrative.
02:28:11.733 --> 02:28:13.367
Breaking a story means
02:28:13.619 --> 02:28:14.747
breaking the truth.
02:28:14.993 --> 02:28:16.292
Let me speak, CM.
02:28:18.060 --> 02:28:19.243
Now, I will speak...
02:28:19.679 --> 02:28:20.956
And so will they...
02:28:21.673 --> 02:28:22.849
And you'll listen.
02:28:30.759 --> 02:28:32.674
You can say anything about anyone.
02:28:33.453 --> 02:28:34.845
Fabricate evidence.
02:28:35.443 --> 02:28:37.009
Defame people.
02:28:37.309 --> 02:28:38.316
Drag them down.
02:28:39.456 --> 02:28:40.991
Destroy lives.
02:28:41.509 --> 02:28:42.515
Pronounce judgments.
02:28:44.089 --> 02:28:45.602
Manufacture consent.
02:28:46.495 --> 02:28:47.835
Post truth!
02:28:47.974 --> 02:28:50.478
That's your privilege, isn't it?
02:28:54.112 --> 02:28:56.422
The media is meant to be
society's greatest strength
02:28:56.423 --> 02:28:57.884
and its corrective force.
02:28:58.026 --> 02:28:59.809
That is what journalism should be.
02:28:59.810 --> 02:29:03.031
But do not abuse the privilege of speaking
02:29:03.539 --> 02:29:05.027
in the name of the people.
02:29:07.611 --> 02:29:09.218
You know what's worth more
02:29:09.439 --> 02:29:12.456
than the 500,000 US dollars
he dumped in your Fiji account?
02:29:13.127 --> 02:29:14.724
One honest line of news
02:29:14.725 --> 02:29:15.999
that exposes the burning truth.
02:29:21.219 --> 02:29:22.768
My father's image was
02:29:23.161 --> 02:29:24.904
destroyed in twenty-two minutes.
02:29:25.860 --> 02:29:27.502
And your 300 million-dollar empire...
02:29:28.205 --> 02:29:29.212
in fifteen.
02:30:25.326 --> 02:30:26.333
Madam.
02:30:30.033 --> 02:30:32.180
There used to be a newspaper in Bombay...
02:30:32.333 --> 02:30:33.499
Midtown News.
02:30:34.213 --> 02:30:36.585
It carried the news of my arrest
in two columns,
02:30:36.706 --> 02:30:38.233
for the first and last time.
02:30:39.332 --> 02:30:41.061
When I got out on the 14th day...
02:30:41.062 --> 02:30:42.542
I bought out that newspaper.
02:30:43.133 --> 02:30:45.363
That was also the beginning of
On Time News.
02:30:45.793 --> 02:30:47.327
By that logic, when I come out
02:30:47.459 --> 02:30:49.346
I'll be buying your government, John.
02:30:49.931 --> 02:30:51.431
There isn't much time left.
02:30:51.872 --> 02:30:53.919
After all,
you're just a stop-gap arrangement.
02:30:54.946 --> 02:30:56.417
I've let it all go.
02:30:56.521 --> 02:30:58.268
Now I only have one identity.
02:31:00.839 --> 02:31:02.144
Successor...
02:31:03.879 --> 02:31:06.319
I'm here to deliver my father's response.
02:31:07.331 --> 02:31:08.634
His successor...
02:31:10.532 --> 02:31:12.540
The tree your dad hanged himself...
02:31:13.346 --> 02:31:15.040
is waiting for you.
02:31:16.726 --> 02:31:18.329
You're too old-fashioned.
02:31:18.718 --> 02:31:21.454
I have no father, son, no holy spirit.
02:31:22.033 --> 02:31:23.593
I'm not even human.
02:31:24.613 --> 02:31:26.799
I'm an algorithm you'll never decode.
02:31:27.695 --> 02:31:29.334
Keep your firewalls ready.
02:31:30.040 --> 02:31:31.235
I'll be coming.
02:31:31.931 --> 02:31:32.939
Bring it on.
02:31:44.653 --> 02:31:47.431
I will appear before the court
and tell the whole truth.
02:31:47.599 --> 02:31:50.959
Ravi Madhavan's conspiracy
against the present Chief Minister,
02:31:51.422 --> 02:31:54.499
including the false allegations
against former CM Varghese.
02:31:55.466 --> 02:31:57.817
He treated me with nothing but respect.
02:31:58.650 --> 02:32:00.418
I unknowingly became the reason
02:32:00.571 --> 02:32:02.646
for the death of a man like him.
02:32:03.435 --> 02:32:04.466
For that...
02:32:04.467 --> 02:32:05.474
I apologise...
02:32:18.220 --> 02:32:19.584
You should fight it, Dad.
02:32:19.585 --> 02:32:20.665
We must fight.
02:32:20.666 --> 02:32:23.166
THIS MAN WAS TRULY RIGHTEOUS
02:32:57.364 --> 02:32:58.370
Dad...
02:32:59.713 --> 02:33:01.407
isn't alone anymore...
02:33:15.573 --> 02:33:17.386
Today's Varghese sir's resurrection.
02:33:18.338 --> 02:33:21.098
No one else has stood by their father
the way you have.
02:33:22.183 --> 02:33:24.766
Sir, you must now stand by
the people who loves him.
02:33:25.542 --> 02:33:28.040
No one understood my dad
the way you did, sir.
02:33:28.212 --> 02:33:29.655
Sir, you must step forward
02:33:29.803 --> 02:33:30.909
and lead them.
02:33:31.812 --> 02:33:33.595
I'll submit my resignation.
02:33:34.920 --> 02:33:36.829
Dad will understand me...
