00:04:05.459 --> 00:04:08.636 align:center
<i>A surging, roaring protest</i>

00:04:08.637 --> 00:04:10.840 align:center
I also want to go with her.

00:04:11.870 --> 00:04:13.131 align:center
Be careful on the way.

00:04:13.132 --> 00:04:14.260 align:center
Okay, Mom.

00:04:24.968 --> 00:04:28.593 align:center
A protest rally organised by the CPNM

00:04:28.594 --> 00:04:33.386 align:center
against the State Government's bar policy
is currently underway here.

00:04:33.626 --> 00:04:37.626 align:center
We extend a warm welcome
to State Secretary Comrade Gopalan

00:04:37.627 --> 00:04:43.272 align:center
and State Secretariat member
Comrade Kannur Jayadevan to the stage.

00:04:50.828 --> 00:04:52.487 align:center
Under the leadership of the CPNM,

00:04:52.488 --> 00:04:55.721 align:center
a fierce protest is erupting
against the State Government's move

00:04:55.722 --> 00:04:57.930 align:center
to grant licenses
exclusively to five-star bars.

00:04:57.931 --> 00:05:00.176 align:center
Thousands from every corner of Kerala
have gathered,

00:05:00.177 --> 00:05:02.235 align:center
turning the Secretariat premises
into a sea of red.

00:05:02.236 --> 00:05:03.328 align:center
If this continues,

00:05:03.329 --> 00:05:05.680 align:center
the capital city will grind
to a halt by noon.

00:05:05.681 --> 00:05:09.133 align:center
Political Kerala is watching closely to see
how Chief Minister KN Varghese,

00:05:09.134 --> 00:05:11.392 align:center
who has so far faced
allegations and controversies

00:05:11.393 --> 00:05:14.736 align:center
with remarkable political agility,
will weather this storm.

00:05:16.219 --> 00:05:18.445 align:center
- How is it going?
- Everyone's on edge.

00:05:18.446 --> 00:05:19.977 align:center
They've come fully prepared.

00:05:19.978 --> 00:05:22.664 align:center
A government surviving on a
razor-thin majority of just two seats,

00:05:22.665 --> 00:05:24.298 align:center
one that could collapse any moment,

00:05:24.299 --> 00:05:26.508 align:center
this protest is nothing short
of a trial by fire.

00:05:26.509 --> 00:05:27.986 align:center
Sir, things will escalate.

00:05:27.987 --> 00:05:29.517 align:center
The CM will be under immense pressure.

00:05:29.870 --> 00:05:33.336 align:center
If the crowd turns violent,
the police shouldn't react immediately.

00:05:34.253 --> 00:05:36.089 align:center
Let them vent.

00:05:36.090 --> 00:05:37.651 align:center
Stoke their anger.

00:05:38.359 --> 00:05:42.049 align:center
Then use whatever feels right,
rubber bullets, tear gas, water cannons...

00:05:42.846 --> 00:05:46.423 align:center
If possible, turn this into
another Koothuparambu or Muthanga.

00:05:46.424 --> 00:05:48.205 align:center
I don't need to spell it out, Soman.

00:05:48.822 --> 00:05:51.736 align:center
The media and social media

00:05:51.978 --> 00:05:53.431 align:center
- should be on fire.
<i>- Sir.</i>

00:05:53.542 --> 00:05:55.127 align:center
Comrades, friends,

00:05:55.392 --> 00:05:57.159 align:center
So now, it seems bars in Kerala

00:05:57.160 --> 00:05:59.565 align:center
must all be five-star only!

00:05:59.916 --> 00:06:02.261 align:center
We all know
our Chief Minister KN Varghese's

00:06:02.262 --> 00:06:04.417 align:center
undying obsession with five stars!

00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:10.920 align:center
Long live the revolution!

00:06:11.210 --> 00:06:13.897 align:center
Long live SFY!

00:06:16.362 --> 00:06:17.432 align:center
Isn't the Chief Minister,

00:06:17.433 --> 00:06:20.729 align:center
along with his elder son,
Rajya Sabha MP Tobin Varghese,

00:06:20.917 --> 00:06:22.589 align:center
busy looting Kerala dry?

00:06:22.878 --> 00:06:25.705 align:center
Has Kerala ever seen a Chief Minister

00:06:25.706 --> 00:06:28.305 align:center
as shameless as KN Varghese?

00:06:28.422 --> 00:06:30.911 align:center
I say this with complete responsibility.

00:06:30.912 --> 00:06:33.664 align:center
The Chief Minister and his son together

00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:36.336 align:center
have pocketed over a hundred crores,

00:06:36.337 --> 00:06:39.063 align:center
squeezed out of five-star hotel owners
across Kerala!

00:06:39.193 --> 00:06:41.352 align:center
Before we leave this ground today,

00:06:41.353 --> 00:06:44.133 align:center
KN Varghese will be forced to resign!

00:06:45.075 --> 00:06:46.387 align:center
What's happening, man?

00:06:46.474 --> 00:06:48.040 align:center
How is it? Is it getting wild?

00:06:49.896 --> 00:06:51.380 align:center
Anyway, send the boys in.

00:06:52.467 --> 00:06:54.114 align:center
What can sixty of them really do,

00:06:54.115 --> 00:06:56.184 align:center
stuck in the middle
of five thousand people?

00:06:56.974 --> 00:06:58.668 align:center
Ah, send whoever's available!

00:06:59.701 --> 00:07:01.769 align:center
They've got the stuff with them, right?

00:07:02.887 --> 00:07:04.597 align:center
Tell them to provoke the crowd.

00:07:05.248 --> 00:07:06.411 align:center
Yeah, I'm on my way.

00:07:09.123 --> 00:07:10.324 align:center
- -Hey.
<i>- Yeah?</i>

00:07:10.536 --> 00:07:11.544 align:center
<i>What is it, Tobin?</i>

00:07:12.709 --> 00:07:15.075 align:center
You freshen up, have breakfast,
and then come.

00:07:15.076 --> 00:07:16.114 align:center
<i>Okay.</i>

00:07:16.115 --> 00:07:17.700 align:center
- I'm heading out.
- <i>Where to?</i>

00:07:17.701 --> 00:07:20.170 align:center
The Secretariat siege is heating up.

00:07:20.708 --> 00:07:22.434 align:center
Need to shake things up a little.

00:07:22.654 --> 00:07:24.826 align:center
Got to give Dad some backup.

00:07:25.567 --> 00:07:27.418 align:center
You've got the spare keys, right?

00:07:27.419 --> 00:07:29.238 align:center
<i>Yes. Will you call me?</i>

00:07:30.262 --> 00:07:32.309 align:center
Calling might take a couple of days.

00:07:32.526 --> 00:07:34.175 align:center
I'm pulling this SIM out right now.

00:07:44.909 --> 00:07:48.145 align:center
President, we should float a rumour
about a resignation.

00:07:48.146 --> 00:07:49.153 align:center
The media is on our side.

00:07:49.424 --> 00:07:52.103 align:center
Mallu Voice has already gone active online.

00:07:52.259 --> 00:07:53.954 align:center
Thattel Prasad pinged me on WhatsApp.

00:07:54.330 --> 00:07:55.642 align:center
The Excise Minister is rattled.

00:07:56.049 --> 00:07:58.080 align:center
He's creating a scene
in the cabinet meeting.

00:07:58.377 --> 00:08:00.347 align:center
Call Delhi and inform them

00:08:00.348 --> 00:08:02.557 align:center
we're withdrawing our group's support.

00:08:02.878 --> 00:08:05.245 align:center
Don't rush it.
Let Varghese reach the Secretariat first.

00:08:05.494 --> 00:08:06.917 align:center
I'll call after that.

00:08:08.306 --> 00:08:09.852 align:center
It's ACP Baiju.

00:08:11.238 --> 00:08:12.246 align:center
Ah... yes, Baiju.

00:08:12.379 --> 00:08:13.387 align:center
Tell me.

00:08:14.746 --> 00:08:15.754 align:center
Oh, at a time like this?

00:08:17.028 --> 00:08:18.035 align:center
I see.

00:08:18.611 --> 00:08:19.666 align:center
What is it, sir?

00:08:19.667 --> 00:08:22.713 align:center
The CM has gone to pay his respects
to the late IT Secretary, Cherian.

00:08:23.377 --> 00:08:26.111 align:center
Instead of rushing to the Secretariat,
all tense and rattled,

00:08:26.112 --> 00:08:28.940 align:center
the man's gone to Chaakka Junction
for the funeral rites!

00:08:36.206 --> 00:08:40.112 align:center
He doesn't think or act like us, man.

00:08:43.698 --> 00:08:44.705 align:center
He's a fox.

00:08:45.135 --> 00:08:47.839 align:center
The craftiest fox
Kerala has ever seen.

00:08:58.946 --> 00:09:01.806 align:center
Prasad sir and Basheer ikka
seem a little shaken.

00:09:01.807 --> 00:09:04.838 align:center
If the pressure builds,
more people might jump ship.

00:09:04.963 --> 00:09:08.230 align:center
There's talk that the Delhi high command
might cut you loose, sir.

00:09:08.231 --> 00:09:09.238 align:center
Let's see, man.

00:09:09.610 --> 00:09:11.001 align:center
Haven't we seen this before?

00:09:11.002 --> 00:09:14.237 align:center
And don't fan the media flames right now.

00:09:14.238 --> 00:09:15.246 align:center
Hmm.

00:09:21.188 --> 00:09:22.695 align:center
Varghese,

00:09:22.696 --> 00:09:25.501 align:center
even flaunting a mere two-seat majority

00:09:25.651 --> 00:09:27.635 align:center
needs a bit of dignity, you know.

00:09:47.258 --> 00:09:49.986 align:center
- Sir, the situation is unpredictable.
- We'll see.

00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:51.903 align:center
- How much staff do we have?
- Very few, sir.

00:09:51.904 --> 00:09:53.310 align:center
Today we've no other plans.

00:09:53.311 --> 00:09:54.693 align:center
Sure, sir.

00:09:56.019 --> 00:09:57.447 align:center
Make way! Make way!
Keep it aside.

00:10:01.581 --> 00:10:03.911 align:center
Yeah, I haven't forgotten.
The day after tomorrow, right?

00:10:03.912 --> 00:10:05.054 align:center
I'll be there.

00:10:05.055 --> 00:10:06.817 align:center
Pappachan, take care of

00:10:06.818 --> 00:10:09.981 align:center
everything needed
for Rahel's daughter's wedding.

00:10:09.982 --> 00:10:11.013 align:center
Okay.

00:10:11.014 --> 00:10:12.347 align:center
Alright.

00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:19.950 align:center
The protest outside is getting fiercer.

00:11:20.441 --> 00:11:22.955 align:center
They're calling for a complete shutdown
by afternoon.

00:11:24.863 --> 00:11:26.105 align:center
There's talk everywhere

00:11:26.106 --> 00:11:28.051 align:center
that I'll be kicked out of the chair today.

00:11:28.978 --> 00:11:29.986 align:center
So...

00:11:31.267 --> 00:11:33.063 align:center
we're taking a decision now.

00:11:34.549 --> 00:11:37.940 align:center
We are shutting down
all the bars in the state.

00:11:40.229 --> 00:11:42.337 align:center
Forget star ratings and classifications,

00:11:42.338 --> 00:11:43.727 align:center
shut down every single one!

00:11:45.079 --> 00:11:47.021 align:center
What?! How will that even work?

00:11:47.526 --> 00:11:50.088 align:center
Didn't he already take bribe
from the five-star hotel lobby?

00:11:50.292 --> 00:11:51.969 align:center
Didn't Mathew sir object to this?

00:11:52.154 --> 00:11:53.399 align:center
And what about Thattel Prasad?

00:11:53.400 --> 00:11:56.327 align:center
CM, you can't take such a call
in this kind of haste.

00:11:56.688 --> 00:11:58.584 align:center
Wasn't it you who insisted until last night

00:11:58.585 --> 00:12:00.718 align:center
that there would be
no compromise on this?

00:12:01.154 --> 00:12:03.116 align:center
Prasad, isn't politics all about

00:12:03.117 --> 00:12:05.007 align:center
changing your stance overnight?

00:12:05.225 --> 00:12:08.133 align:center
Even then, you should hear
the Excise Minister out.

00:12:08.134 --> 00:12:09.633 align:center
Take a call after that.

00:12:09.634 --> 00:12:11.186 align:center
I'll listen to you, Prasad,

00:12:11.617 --> 00:12:12.881 align:center
but in my office.

00:12:13.540 --> 00:12:15.334 align:center
The decision, however, will be made...

00:12:15.634 --> 00:12:16.642 align:center
right now...

00:12:16.954 --> 00:12:17.962 align:center
right here!

00:12:19.452 --> 00:12:22.200 align:center
The revenue loss from shutting all bars,

00:12:22.334 --> 00:12:23.905 align:center
didn't I submit a note on this, CM?

00:12:24.024 --> 00:12:25.945 align:center
How am I supposed to run the state then?

00:12:25.946 --> 00:12:26.954 align:center
Mathew sir...

00:12:27.829 --> 00:12:30.140 align:center
This is a political decision.

00:12:30.141 --> 00:12:32.475 align:center
Then it must be discussed in the Cabinet.

00:12:32.476 --> 00:12:34.443 align:center
You must also consult
the coalition partners.

00:12:34.915 --> 00:12:36.374 align:center
Abdul Rahman Sahib,

00:12:36.562 --> 00:12:38.782 align:center
what's your stand on this?

00:12:38.923 --> 00:12:39.931 align:center
Thangal called me.

00:12:40.618 --> 00:12:43.947 align:center
He said you've already discussed this
with him.

00:12:43.948 --> 00:12:45.712 align:center
So we stand with the CM.

00:12:46.842 --> 00:12:49.061 align:center
If Thangal and I agree,

00:12:49.524 --> 00:12:51.585 align:center
that settles it for the Front.

00:12:51.586 --> 00:12:52.953 align:center
Isn't that right, Mathew sir?

00:12:53.986 --> 00:12:56.966 align:center
For four years,
I've been running this circus,

00:12:56.967 --> 00:12:59.381 align:center
surviving on a majority of just two seats.

00:12:59.989 --> 00:13:02.835 align:center
And now, at the peak of this real
well-of-death stunt,

00:13:02.836 --> 00:13:04.631 align:center
how can we simply step back?

00:13:05.485 --> 00:13:07.881 align:center
Shouldn't we survive this, sir?

00:13:10.180 --> 00:13:11.405 align:center
So, let's face the media.

00:13:11.899 --> 00:13:15.092 align:center
After all, the comrades
have an afternoon train to catch.

00:13:15.411 --> 00:13:19.075 align:center
Protesters: Inquilab Zindabad

00:13:20.524 --> 00:13:23.397 align:center
This is a historic day.

00:13:24.595 --> 00:13:27.530 align:center
From today onwards,
there are no bars in our state.

00:13:28.282 --> 00:13:29.867 align:center
And when I say this,

00:13:29.868 --> 00:13:34.217 align:center
I can already see the smiles

00:13:34.896 --> 00:13:37.709 align:center
on the faces of thousands
of our sisters and homemakers.

00:13:38.461 --> 00:13:41.348 align:center
Our massive people's movement
has tasted victory.

00:13:42.626 --> 00:13:44.780 align:center
We have just one thing to tell Varghese.

00:13:44.876 --> 00:13:46.782 align:center
This struggle will not stop,

00:13:46.783 --> 00:13:49.454 align:center
not until your misrule comes to an end.

00:13:59.522 --> 00:14:00.952 align:center
Hassan ikka,

00:14:01.317 --> 00:14:02.812 align:center
you need to be a bit more careful.

00:14:02.813 --> 00:14:05.453 align:center
When we avoid chemical fertilisers,
the care has to double.

00:14:05.454 --> 00:14:07.311 align:center
This isn't neglect, not intentionally.

00:14:07.407 --> 00:14:08.461 align:center
I don't know why,

00:14:08.462 --> 00:14:11.109 align:center
but rot and pest attacks
are worse this time.

00:14:11.110 --> 00:14:12.522 align:center
This isn't about profit for me.

00:14:12.853 --> 00:14:14.023 align:center
It's pure passion.

00:14:14.024 --> 00:14:15.869 align:center
After all the running around,

00:14:15.870 --> 00:14:17.260 align:center
coming back here brings peace.

00:14:17.501 --> 00:14:18.670 align:center
I know, sir.

00:14:19.962 --> 00:14:22.788 align:center
See the workers. The moment you
look away, they slack off.

00:14:22.997 --> 00:14:26.155 align:center
Let me go meet my mother,
take my usual scolding, and leave.

00:14:51.947 --> 00:14:54.725 align:center
This isn't a knee-jerk reaction
to the Secretariat siege.

00:14:55.217 --> 00:14:57.777 align:center
Wasn't I accused of taking bribes

00:14:57.778 --> 00:14:59.340 align:center
from five-star hotel owners?

00:14:59.771 --> 00:15:01.308 align:center
Has that story lost its sting?

00:15:02.993 --> 00:15:04.001 align:center
Are you leaving?

00:15:04.257 --> 00:15:05.349 align:center
Yes.

00:15:05.350 --> 00:15:07.709 align:center
The next two months will be hectic, Mom.

00:15:08.017 --> 00:15:09.375 align:center
I won't be home often.

00:15:09.376 --> 00:15:12.233 align:center
I can't keep slogging it out here,
in this godforsaken place.

00:15:12.420 --> 00:15:13.868 align:center
I'm shifting to the flat.

00:15:14.711 --> 00:15:17.876 align:center
I was wondering if you'd forget
to bring this up today.

00:15:19.407 --> 00:15:21.554 align:center
Can you really leave this place?

00:15:31.563 --> 00:15:33.921 align:center
The government has taken a decision

00:15:33.922 --> 00:15:36.772 align:center
more revolutionary
than even the Land Reforms.

00:15:36.884 --> 00:15:38.711 align:center
Isn't that an exaggeration, CM?

00:15:38.712 --> 00:15:39.720 align:center
Not at all!

00:15:40.173 --> 00:15:42.928 align:center
If you doubt it,
ask your father, Elizabeth.

00:15:43.095 --> 00:15:46.803 align:center
Today's decision rests on the prayers
and sacrifices

00:15:47.009 --> 00:15:48.827 align:center
of many Gandhians like him.

00:15:48.828 --> 00:15:50.608 align:center
Happy now, after him
insulting your father?

00:15:50.609 --> 00:15:51.866 align:center
Scram!

00:16:23.553 --> 00:16:25.550 align:center
So, CM Varghese survives!

00:16:26.908 --> 00:16:28.487 align:center
I spoke with Mr. Purushothaman.

00:16:28.488 --> 00:16:30.278 align:center
He sounded rather desperate.

00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:32.207 align:center
Not the first time, goddamn it!

00:16:32.560 --> 00:16:34.831 align:center
Ishaan ji, we're running out of time.

00:16:35.745 --> 00:16:37.297 align:center
Why don't we give up Kerala

00:16:37.548 --> 00:16:39.078 align:center
and go for the other states?

00:16:40.361 --> 00:16:41.695 align:center
No. We'll stick with Kerala.

00:16:43.002 --> 00:16:45.719 align:center
For strategic, economic, and...

00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:47.510 align:center
socio-political reasons.

00:16:48.598 --> 00:16:50.877 align:center
Besides, it's the decision from the top.

00:16:52.028 --> 00:16:53.377 align:center
He doesn't listen to us.

00:16:55.020 --> 00:16:56.028 align:center
He dictates.

00:17:12.098 --> 00:17:13.895 align:center
<i>What the hell is wrong with them?</i>

00:17:13.896 --> 00:17:15.936 align:center
<i>Are they seriously planning
to shut down everything?</i>

00:17:15.937 --> 00:17:17.406 align:center
You may leave.

00:17:17.518 --> 00:17:20.659 align:center
If Mom shows any asthma symptoms,
take her to Dr. Ramankutty.

00:17:21.030 --> 00:17:22.157 align:center
Devasia uncle...

00:17:22.158 --> 00:17:23.485 align:center
Ah, it's you, Ravi?

00:17:23.716 --> 00:17:24.909 align:center
Why do you look so upset?

00:17:25.169 --> 00:17:26.176 align:center
My dear, Ravi,

00:17:26.668 --> 00:17:28.831 align:center
I don't mind standing in the BEVCO queue.

00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:32.067 align:center
But the whole bar vibe,
blue lights, Hindi songs...

00:17:32.068 --> 00:17:33.838 align:center
drinking there was pure joy.

00:17:33.989 --> 00:17:36.816 align:center
You can't match that joy
even with Scotch at home!

00:17:36.950 --> 00:17:38.824 align:center
All those lights and songs will be back.

00:17:39.848 --> 00:17:41.500 align:center
It's politics, after all.

00:17:42.435 --> 00:17:43.443 align:center
Things will change.

00:17:44.051 --> 00:17:46.081 align:center
The Panchayat wanted me to ask you, Ravi,

00:17:46.260 --> 00:17:48.954 align:center
Fixing the road to your house
would help many people.

00:17:49.152 --> 00:17:51.817 align:center
Once it rains, it's a mess.
Kids can't even get to school.

00:17:52.214 --> 00:17:55.214 align:center
Isn't going to school in the rain fun,
Devasia uncle?

00:17:56.035 --> 00:17:58.166 align:center
Some things should stay
just the way they are.

00:18:03.855 --> 00:18:05.067 align:center
So, see you on my next visit.

00:18:05.339 --> 00:18:06.347 align:center
Okay.

00:18:51.482 --> 00:18:54.000 align:center
- Why are you crying, my dear?
- I'll call you back.

00:18:54.250 --> 00:18:55.930 align:center
Who made my child cry?

00:18:56.350 --> 00:18:57.769 align:center
She was watching TV.

00:18:58.140 --> 00:19:01.817 align:center
She got scared hearing people say
things about you in the news.

00:19:04.313 --> 00:19:05.421 align:center
Grandpa...

00:19:05.422 --> 00:19:07.007 align:center
Why's my little one scared?

00:19:07.404 --> 00:19:10.074 align:center
Rosa aunty's dad said...

00:19:10.075 --> 00:19:11.916 align:center
that you died, Grandpa.

00:19:13.252 --> 00:19:15.321 align:center
But your grandpa's right here, isn't he?

00:19:15.725 --> 00:19:17.767 align:center
It was Comrade Jayadevan on News Time.

00:19:17.883 --> 00:19:21.353 align:center
He said Varghese's political death
happened today...

00:19:22.539 --> 00:19:24.026 align:center
It's alright, dear.

00:19:25.560 --> 00:19:27.265 align:center
That uncle was just joking.

00:19:27.266 --> 00:19:29.117 align:center
He buys chocolates for you, right?

00:19:29.593 --> 00:19:31.052 align:center
Tobin, did you send some

00:19:31.360 --> 00:19:34.459 align:center
youth wing boys to the protest site

00:19:34.460 --> 00:19:36.061 align:center
with crackers and red ink?

00:19:36.212 --> 00:19:37.219 align:center
Yes, I did.

00:19:37.380 --> 00:19:39.190 align:center
It would've been more dramatic

00:19:39.191 --> 00:19:41.840 align:center
if the comrades had clashed with them.

00:19:41.841 --> 00:19:43.038 align:center
Sadly, that didn't happen.

00:19:43.039 --> 00:19:44.703 align:center
You drew the curtain too quickly, Dad.

00:19:45.913 --> 00:19:47.262 align:center
No matter how hard you try,

00:19:47.653 --> 00:19:49.219 align:center
you're just not able to grow

00:19:49.220 --> 00:19:50.793 align:center
beyond student politics.

00:19:54.327 --> 00:19:56.098 align:center
Dad, tomorrow is Mariya's birthday.

00:19:56.220 --> 00:19:58.847 align:center
If we host it on the lawn here,
it'll be convenient for everyone.

00:19:58.848 --> 00:19:59.855 align:center
Of course, dear.

00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:01.573 align:center
Aren't you the queen here?

00:20:02.033 --> 00:20:03.370 align:center
You plan everything.

00:20:04.321 --> 00:20:06.776 align:center
I am sleeping with grandpa tonight.

00:20:07.341 --> 00:20:09.338 align:center
Tonight, she's all love for her grandpa.

00:20:09.339 --> 00:20:11.699 align:center
My child loves her grandpa every day,
right, dear?

00:20:12.500 --> 00:20:13.765 align:center
Rosa, dear...

00:20:14.740 --> 00:20:17.473 align:center
isn't John closing the deal today?

00:20:17.607 --> 00:20:18.646 align:center
The signing is done, Dad.

00:20:18.647 --> 00:20:20.178 align:center
He's at the after party now.

00:20:21.980 --> 00:20:23.952 align:center
Did he tell you how much it was?

00:20:25.160 --> 00:20:26.880 align:center
Would he tell me if he hasn't told you?

00:20:27.053 --> 00:20:28.340 align:center
Oh...

00:20:28.696 --> 00:20:30.129 align:center
BANGALORE

00:20:30.130 --> 00:20:32.090 align:center
<i>Data drives the modern world.</i>

00:20:32.091 --> 00:20:34.290 align:center
<i>Vulnerability defines it.</i>

00:20:35.114 --> 00:20:38.385 align:center
<i>Ironveil delivers
intelligent security solutions</i>

00:20:38.579 --> 00:20:41.889 align:center
<i>designed to protect
critical information at scale.</i>

00:21:15.739 --> 00:21:17.217 align:center
Thank you. Thank you.

00:21:17.218 --> 00:21:19.579 align:center
I'm so happy that
we're celebrating this together.

00:21:21.273 --> 00:21:22.280 align:center
Hey John!

00:21:24.924 --> 00:21:26.568 align:center
- Congrats buddy.
- Thank you.

00:21:26.671 --> 00:21:27.896 align:center
- Hi Eric.
- Hello.

00:21:28.752 --> 00:21:30.702 align:center
Such a big day for our buddy, John.

00:21:31.065 --> 00:21:33.438 align:center
- Congratulations to you too, Eric.
- Thank you.

00:21:34.987 --> 00:21:35.993 align:center
But today...

00:21:36.266 --> 00:21:38.890 align:center
it's all about our mate, John Varghese.

00:21:39.486 --> 00:21:41.859 align:center
You've made your fortune by building...

00:21:42.459 --> 00:21:43.466 align:center
firewalls,

00:21:43.560 --> 00:21:44.710 align:center
stopping breaches,

00:21:45.047 --> 00:21:46.492 align:center
erecting digital walls...

00:21:47.036 --> 00:21:50.017 align:center
and all the while he's preaching
about digital freedom,

00:21:50.500 --> 00:21:52.946 align:center
truth and data democracy.

00:21:53.633 --> 00:21:55.938 align:center
A walking bundle of contradictions.

00:21:56.145 --> 00:21:57.398 align:center
Just a minute, Sukesh.

00:21:58.013 --> 00:21:59.992 align:center
Eric... Please excuse me.

00:22:00.340 --> 00:22:02.540 align:center
I'm going to speak a bit
in my native tongue.

00:22:02.637 --> 00:22:03.677 align:center
Okay.

00:22:04.313 --> 00:22:05.802 align:center
To those of you who don't know...

00:22:06.367 --> 00:22:07.373 align:center
You must have heard of

00:22:08.338 --> 00:22:10.226 align:center
F-News, the channel
that ran sting operations

00:22:10.227 --> 00:22:11.704 align:center
on three central ministers

00:22:11.705 --> 00:22:13.213 align:center
and forced them to resign.

00:22:13.919 --> 00:22:14.926 align:center
He owns it.

00:22:15.046 --> 00:22:16.253 align:center
Sukesh Pandey.

00:22:17.486 --> 00:22:19.039 align:center
He's been my friend for a long time.

00:22:19.286 --> 00:22:20.901 align:center
But he's a nasty guy...

00:22:21.033 --> 00:22:22.040 align:center
A moron!

00:22:23.687 --> 00:22:25.682 align:center
Yes, I'm dirty, John.

00:22:26.373 --> 00:22:27.701 align:center
But tell us one thing.

00:22:28.313 --> 00:22:30.164 align:center
Why so secretive about the...

00:22:30.165 --> 00:22:31.292 align:center
Eric deal?

00:22:32.933 --> 00:22:34.580 align:center
Why can't we know the price tag?

00:22:36.033 --> 00:22:37.104 align:center
Take it as a challenge.

00:22:37.300 --> 00:22:38.307 align:center
And find out!

00:22:40.306 --> 00:22:41.478 align:center
Party time, guys!

00:22:56.732 --> 00:22:58.526 align:center
Is Pandey going to cause trouble?

00:23:00.253 --> 00:23:02.351 align:center
He will just keep sniffing around.

00:23:39.640 --> 00:23:41.049 align:center
- Cheers!
- Cheers.

00:23:41.593 --> 00:23:43.013 align:center
Bro, be careful

00:23:44.007 --> 00:23:45.013 align:center
She's Poonam.

00:23:45.366 --> 00:23:46.695 align:center
Niece of the central minister.

00:23:47.435 --> 00:23:49.522 align:center
And her intentions aren't good.

00:23:49.873 --> 00:23:50.880 align:center
So, be careful.

00:24:01.546 --> 00:24:02.553 align:center
What's up?

00:24:14.520 --> 00:24:16.269 align:center
Let me make a call...

00:24:17.880 --> 00:24:20.186 align:center
Just want to speak to my wife.

00:24:21.253 --> 00:24:22.333 align:center
- Wife?
- Yeah...

00:24:23.347 --> 00:24:24.898 align:center
I always speak to her...

00:24:25.027 --> 00:24:26.637 align:center
when anything great happens.

00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:28.741 align:center
What the...

00:24:31.624 --> 00:24:33.271 align:center
Transparency is important.

00:24:33.786 --> 00:24:35.393 align:center
You can also call your boyfriend.

00:24:35.866 --> 00:24:37.631 align:center
I don't have any boyfriend.

00:24:38.126 --> 00:24:39.133 align:center
Really?!

00:24:44.100 --> 00:24:45.160 align:center
Who's that?

00:24:46.873 --> 00:24:47.880 align:center
I'm her boyfriend.

00:24:48.199 --> 00:24:50.000 align:center
No way. We broke up.

00:24:51.051 --> 00:24:52.879 align:center
We broke up?!
You ditched me!

00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:53.946 align:center
Doesn't matter!

00:24:53.947 --> 00:24:55.009 align:center
Bro... Bro... Bro!

00:24:55.373 --> 00:24:56.553 align:center
Easy... Easy, bro...

00:24:56.804 --> 00:24:58.846 align:center
Breakup means break up!

00:25:05.480 --> 00:25:06.682 align:center
Are you sick?

00:25:07.024 --> 00:25:08.123 align:center
You can drink this.

00:25:09.175 --> 00:25:10.182 align:center
Tai Chi champion.

00:25:10.280 --> 00:25:11.286 align:center
Two times.

00:25:11.591 --> 00:25:12.565 align:center
This guy?!

00:25:19.852 --> 00:25:21.436 align:center
SFY union secretary.

00:25:22.136 --> 00:25:23.276 align:center
Three years.

00:25:26.893 --> 00:25:27.900 align:center
Are you okay?

00:25:28.094 --> 00:25:29.100 align:center
Nice.

00:25:37.720 --> 00:25:39.172 align:center
Is the party over?

00:25:53.896 --> 00:25:54.903 align:center
What happened, dear?

00:25:55.056 --> 00:25:56.149 align:center
Dad, it's John.

00:25:56.703 --> 00:25:58.084 align:center
If it's about the deal,

00:25:58.317 --> 00:25:59.965 align:center
can't he call in the morning?

00:26:00.290 --> 00:26:01.963 align:center
Tell me...
How much did you get?

00:26:02.169 --> 00:26:03.349 align:center
Oh, I got plenty.

00:26:04.050 --> 00:26:07.130 align:center
How's your relationship with
the Karnataka CM now?

00:26:08.390 --> 00:26:09.390 align:center
I'm at...

00:26:09.573 --> 00:26:11.082 align:center
Kengeri police station now.

00:26:11.330 --> 00:26:12.849 align:center
Police station?!

00:26:13.024 --> 00:26:14.588 align:center
It's a small case...

00:26:14.870 --> 00:26:15.877 align:center
involving a woman.

00:26:15.990 --> 00:26:17.494 align:center
What a dirty mess!

00:26:17.657 --> 00:26:19.023 align:center
If the media gets wind of this...

00:26:20.216 --> 00:26:21.391 align:center
Hang up the phone.

00:26:21.654 --> 00:26:23.356 align:center
Let me contact the Home Minister.

00:26:24.003 --> 00:26:25.010 align:center
Quickly, please.

00:26:31.743 --> 00:26:34.413 align:center
I never thought
he'd do something like this.

00:26:34.569 --> 00:26:35.760 align:center
I knew he would.

00:26:38.583 --> 00:26:40.350 align:center
Salutes to the CM!

00:26:41.376 --> 00:26:43.215 align:center
Make way for the CM.

00:26:43.382 --> 00:26:44.389 align:center
Move.

00:26:45.477 --> 00:26:46.484 align:center
Sir.

00:26:47.696 --> 00:26:48.996 align:center
We'll accept all requests.

00:26:48.997 --> 00:26:50.534 align:center
Give it one by one.

00:26:51.129 --> 00:26:52.135 align:center
Here.

00:26:52.590 --> 00:26:54.219 align:center
We'll sort it out.

00:26:54.482 --> 00:26:56.280 align:center
It's regarding the drinking water scheme.

00:26:57.632 --> 00:27:00.541 align:center
Don't crowd up...
We'll accept all your requests.

00:27:01.223 --> 00:27:02.671 align:center
Madam, go in front.

00:27:03.276 --> 00:27:05.842 align:center
Go stand there so that sir will spot you.

00:27:05.969 --> 00:27:08.154 align:center
There's no point standing here like this.

00:27:08.155 --> 00:27:09.396 align:center
Come on.
Make way.

00:27:09.397 --> 00:27:10.881 align:center
We can fix it in a month.

00:27:10.882 --> 00:27:12.539 align:center
- We'll sort it out.
- Move... move...

00:27:13.857 --> 00:27:15.412 align:center
Please drink this, sir.

00:27:18.636 --> 00:27:20.767 align:center
On Time has called you for an interview.

00:27:20.768 --> 00:27:21.877 align:center
What should I tell them?

00:27:21.878 --> 00:27:23.730 align:center
The vigilance report
will be out the day after, right?

00:27:23.731 --> 00:27:25.066 align:center
- Let's do it then.
- Alright.

00:27:29.517 --> 00:27:30.657 align:center
- Madam...
- Yes, sir.

00:27:30.658 --> 00:27:32.590 align:center
The department enquiry is on going.

00:27:33.802 --> 00:27:34.716 align:center
Sir...

00:27:34.717 --> 00:27:36.029 align:center
- Did you join?
- Not yet, sir.

00:27:36.030 --> 00:27:37.175 align:center
I thought I'll see you first...

00:27:37.176 --> 00:27:39.161 align:center
- Then go to Trivandrum and take charge.
- Yes, sir.

00:27:39.162 --> 00:27:40.409 align:center
I'll see you tomorrow evening.

00:27:40.410 --> 00:27:42.338 align:center
- There's something I want to discuss.
- Okay, sir.

00:27:43.743 --> 00:27:45.534 align:center
- Thank you, sir.
- For what?

00:27:45.535 --> 00:27:46.879 align:center
- I mean...
- Go on...

00:27:47.697 --> 00:27:48.703 align:center
Yes, sir.

00:27:49.170 --> 00:27:51.083 align:center
Sir, we had kept her on the sidelines

00:27:51.084 --> 00:27:52.695 align:center
without assigning any posting.

00:27:53.176 --> 00:27:54.262 align:center
Give her the posting.

00:27:54.263 --> 00:27:55.742 align:center
- In Crimes.
- Should we?

00:27:55.743 --> 00:27:57.140 align:center
She's a troublemaker.

00:27:57.141 --> 00:27:58.883 align:center
It's for a slightly nasty affair.

00:27:59.150 --> 00:28:00.157 align:center
She's perfect for it.

00:28:00.716 --> 00:28:03.710 align:center
Sometimes, it's good to give
the job to the honest ones.

00:28:08.563 --> 00:28:09.909 align:center
Hey, man! How are you?

00:28:09.910 --> 00:28:11.183 align:center
- Hi...
- Look over there.

00:28:11.639 --> 00:28:13.005 align:center
Is your course over?

00:28:13.141 --> 00:28:14.488 align:center
- Hey, man!
- Hi, man. How are you?

00:28:14.489 --> 00:28:15.527 align:center
Rosa...

00:28:15.853 --> 00:28:17.321 align:center
Where's John?

00:28:17.322 --> 00:28:19.559 align:center
John will definitely come.
He'll be here in some time.

00:28:19.560 --> 00:28:20.766 align:center
Let me go to the stage.

00:28:20.767 --> 00:28:21.809 align:center
Alright, Mom.

00:28:21.903 --> 00:28:23.496 align:center
- Hi...
- Hi, I just got here now.

00:28:23.497 --> 00:28:24.540 align:center
Thank you.

00:28:37.754 --> 00:28:39.312 align:center
- John, don't ruin it.
- Get lost!

00:28:39.313 --> 00:28:40.327 align:center
Greetings.

00:28:40.328 --> 00:28:41.544 align:center
Mom and Rani are looking.

00:28:41.545 --> 00:28:42.618 align:center
Who cares!

00:28:42.619 --> 00:28:43.755 align:center
- Come on!
- Let me go.

00:28:47.645 --> 00:28:48.758 align:center
Dear, please make way.

00:28:50.606 --> 00:28:51.925 align:center
- All good?
- Yes.

00:28:51.926 --> 00:28:53.013 align:center
Let me go, John.

00:28:53.807 --> 00:28:55.390 align:center
Just stop it.
People are staring!

00:28:55.391 --> 00:28:56.694 align:center
Isn't that John?

00:28:56.695 --> 00:28:58.189 align:center
Why are you standing there?
Come here.

00:28:58.624 --> 00:29:00.659 align:center
Tonight, let's drink to all the bars

00:29:00.939 --> 00:29:02.274 align:center
you've shut down, Dad.

00:29:08.316 --> 00:29:09.969 align:center
You are a corruptive force.

00:29:10.200 --> 00:29:12.315 align:center
Like you've nothing to do with corruption!

00:29:12.433 --> 00:29:13.635 align:center
- Stop it, you!
- John.

00:29:13.919 --> 00:29:16.703 align:center
Why did you pull that stunt
in the middle of the party?

00:29:17.073 --> 00:29:18.896 align:center
Isn't this how you make kids happy, Ichaya?

00:29:19.000 --> 00:29:20.032 align:center
Some good fun!

00:29:20.033 --> 00:29:21.204 align:center
Yeah, what a funny guy!

00:29:21.793 --> 00:29:23.906 align:center
My friends from Dubai were asking about

00:29:23.995 --> 00:29:25.546 align:center
what you were up to?

00:29:26.080 --> 00:29:28.028 align:center
You've left a terrible impression.

00:29:28.673 --> 00:29:30.773 align:center
Why didn't you just tell those guys

00:29:30.774 --> 00:29:31.959 align:center
what he does?

00:29:32.599 --> 00:29:33.627 align:center
See...

00:29:33.806 --> 00:29:35.653 align:center
you should show this to those guys.

00:29:36.053 --> 00:29:37.748 align:center
Then they'd be queuing up

00:29:37.988 --> 00:29:39.401 align:center
to meet my little one.

00:29:39.647 --> 00:29:41.187 align:center
- Right, dear?
- Of course!

00:29:41.320 --> 00:29:43.071 align:center
Queuing... As if!

00:29:43.185 --> 00:29:44.452 align:center
- Stop it!
- Here you go, Ichaya.

00:29:44.613 --> 00:29:45.879 align:center
I don't want.

00:29:47.340 --> 00:29:49.867 align:center
Rani, get me black tea with lemon.

00:29:49.979 --> 00:29:51.538 align:center
- Feeling squeamish.
- Tobin.

00:29:52.913 --> 00:29:53.952 align:center
Yes, Dad.

00:29:53.953 --> 00:29:56.367 align:center
Why are those foreigners
still hanging around?

00:29:56.633 --> 00:29:57.753 align:center
It's been a few days now.

00:29:58.234 --> 00:29:59.240 align:center
Dad... They...

00:29:59.492 --> 00:30:01.460 align:center
They are here for a project...

00:30:01.701 --> 00:30:03.298 align:center
Don't shake hands without making sure

00:30:03.299 --> 00:30:04.840 align:center
who they are and what it's about.

00:30:05.067 --> 00:30:06.949 align:center
And don't stash all that foreign currency

00:30:07.213 --> 00:30:09.600 align:center
they give you under your bed.

00:30:11.800 --> 00:30:15.166 align:center
Apparently, MP Tobin Varghese
is struggling to convert

00:30:15.589 --> 00:30:18.018 align:center
around three million euros
and five lakh dollars.

00:30:18.667 --> 00:30:21.190 align:center
I got this information from
ADGP of Intelligence.

00:30:22.193 --> 00:30:23.200 align:center
Listen...

00:30:23.332 --> 00:30:24.996 align:center
Taking bribes...

00:30:25.394 --> 00:30:26.800 align:center
is an art.

00:30:27.000 --> 00:30:28.856 align:center
You need to learn how to do it properly.

00:30:29.079 --> 00:30:31.176 align:center
Dad, you've only ever had
contempt for me.

00:30:31.542 --> 00:30:33.228 align:center
When will you ever appreciate me?

00:30:33.447 --> 00:30:36.315 align:center
How can I set a date and time for something

00:30:36.316 --> 00:30:39.224 align:center
you've got to earn through
your own actions?

00:30:44.164 --> 00:30:45.251 align:center
John.

00:30:45.853 --> 00:30:46.860 align:center
Now, it's your turn.

00:30:47.380 --> 00:30:49.230 align:center
You said you had something to tell me.

00:30:49.527 --> 00:30:50.587 align:center
What is it?

00:30:51.353 --> 00:30:52.359 align:center
That's...

00:30:52.933 --> 00:30:55.053 align:center
Dear, why is he getting so nervous?

00:30:56.526 --> 00:30:58.990 align:center
Dad, John has taken up a new assignment.

00:30:59.185 --> 00:31:00.371 align:center
It's in St. Petersburg.

00:31:00.473 --> 00:31:02.095 align:center
He has to leave the day after.

00:31:03.573 --> 00:31:04.580 align:center
What is this?

00:31:04.980 --> 00:31:06.272 align:center
Out of the blue,

00:31:06.273 --> 00:31:07.882 align:center
you say you're going abroad?

00:31:08.507 --> 00:31:09.529 align:center
For how long...

00:31:09.959 --> 00:31:11.008 align:center
is this assignment?

00:31:12.713 --> 00:31:15.079 align:center
Now you'll tell me it's for a few days.

00:31:16.607 --> 00:31:19.555 align:center
Then it will become permanent, right?

00:31:21.993 --> 00:31:23.094 align:center
What about you?

00:31:24.406 --> 00:31:26.901 align:center
I'm trying for a
post-doctoral programme there.

00:31:27.300 --> 00:31:28.307 align:center
Hmm.

00:31:29.093 --> 00:31:32.067 align:center
So, a complete uprooting, isn't it?

00:31:32.673 --> 00:31:34.330 align:center
When growth opportunities come my way,

00:31:34.331 --> 00:31:35.546 align:center
how can I turn them down?

00:31:35.759 --> 00:31:38.022 align:center
And shouldn't we see the world too?

00:31:38.473 --> 00:31:40.241 align:center
Who told you you've got to

00:31:40.242 --> 00:31:41.690 align:center
go abroad to see the world?

00:31:42.500 --> 00:31:43.905 align:center
What about where we live?

00:31:43.906 --> 00:31:45.337 align:center
Isn't this part of the world, too?

00:31:46.193 --> 00:31:47.657 align:center
The world isn't outside us.

00:31:48.139 --> 00:31:49.146 align:center
It's within.

00:31:52.027 --> 00:31:53.665 align:center
Let me speak with him.

00:31:58.657 --> 00:31:59.811 align:center
Come, son.

00:32:06.353 --> 00:32:07.360 align:center
John...

00:32:08.593 --> 00:32:10.290 align:center
Tobin...

00:32:11.579 --> 00:32:12.976 align:center
He's an idiot.

00:32:13.933 --> 00:32:15.951 align:center
Politics isn't for him.

00:32:16.959 --> 00:32:17.966 align:center
But you...

00:32:18.527 --> 00:32:19.772 align:center
You're my son...

00:32:21.273 --> 00:32:22.459 align:center
You've got my genes.

00:32:23.973 --> 00:32:25.774 align:center
My successor...

00:32:27.813 --> 00:32:29.999 align:center
But now, you're just trying to run away

00:32:30.272 --> 00:32:31.333 align:center
from yourself.

00:32:32.209 --> 00:32:33.216 align:center
Dad, you know...

00:32:33.443 --> 00:32:35.548 align:center
I'm not meant for all this power politics.

00:32:36.608 --> 00:32:38.049 align:center
My interests are different.

00:32:38.583 --> 00:32:41.248 align:center
The things I want to do are different too.

00:32:41.677 --> 00:32:44.360 align:center
I won't stand against your decision, dear.

00:32:45.663 --> 00:32:47.139 align:center
After my BA exams,

00:32:47.459 --> 00:32:49.905 align:center
my father asked me to
join him at his fertiliser shop.

00:32:50.863 --> 00:32:52.649 align:center
I couldn't bring myself to say no to him,

00:32:52.823 --> 00:32:54.523 align:center
so I just stood there, confused.

00:32:54.783 --> 00:32:57.163 align:center
The very next day I left for Trivandrum.

00:32:57.903 --> 00:32:59.378 align:center
The next time I went home was

00:32:59.642 --> 00:33:01.287 align:center
after I became the Youth President.

00:33:04.697 --> 00:33:05.932 align:center
Go to bed.

00:33:06.737 --> 00:33:09.814 align:center
And pour me a drink
tomorrow night too, alright?

00:33:18.491 --> 00:33:19.612 align:center
- John...
- Hm?

00:33:19.920 --> 00:33:21.967 align:center
Are you hiding something from me?

00:33:22.815 --> 00:33:24.955 align:center
Something related to
your professional life?

00:33:28.056 --> 00:33:29.843 align:center
Weren't you the one who said

00:33:29.844 --> 00:33:31.591 align:center
you didn't want to know about the deal?

00:33:32.149 --> 00:33:34.388 align:center
I wasn't asking you
how much money you made.

00:33:37.769 --> 00:33:38.776 align:center
It's alright.

00:33:39.188 --> 00:33:41.094 align:center
No matter how much you love your partner,

00:33:41.095 --> 00:33:43.327 align:center
there'll always be some things
you can't share.

00:33:44.707 --> 00:33:46.827 align:center
Just make sure that
when it all comes out someday,

00:33:46.828 --> 00:33:48.556 align:center
the other person isn't hurt too much.

00:33:51.365 --> 00:33:52.372 align:center
Hey...

00:33:54.094 --> 00:33:55.207 align:center
Don't say anything.

00:34:17.173 --> 00:34:18.649 align:center
Thank you for inviting me here.

00:34:19.059 --> 00:34:20.176 align:center
Truly, it's an honour.

00:34:20.746 --> 00:34:23.579 align:center
You're all waiting to hear about
my success story.

00:34:24.333 --> 00:34:25.846 align:center
But am I successful?

00:34:26.707 --> 00:34:27.850 align:center
Honestly,

00:34:28.067 --> 00:34:29.073 align:center
I don't know.

00:34:29.653 --> 00:34:32.252 align:center
If my success is starting a start-up

00:34:32.253 --> 00:34:34.878 align:center
and selling it to a
multinational corporation,

00:34:35.020 --> 00:34:36.027 align:center
then I agree.

00:34:36.493 --> 00:34:38.833 align:center
Success can sometimes be defined by your

00:34:38.920 --> 00:34:40.766 align:center
designation or pay package.

00:34:41.453 --> 00:34:43.058 align:center
But is that really it?

00:34:44.073 --> 00:34:45.820 align:center
No matter how many steps you climb,

00:34:45.922 --> 00:34:47.533 align:center
there will always be more.

00:34:47.839 --> 00:34:50.339 align:center
The corporate hierarchy
is an infinite ladder.

00:34:50.967 --> 00:34:53.425 align:center
I feel that a success story begins

00:34:53.426 --> 00:34:56.596 align:center
when your life touches the lives of others.

00:34:57.140 --> 00:34:59.980 align:center
That's why the salt Gandhi made back then

00:35:00.225 --> 00:35:03.704 align:center
still has more value than
the branded ones by Tata or Ambani.

00:35:04.486 --> 00:35:05.516 align:center
Because...

00:35:05.517 --> 00:35:06.740 align:center
it was the salt of freedom,

00:35:07.006 --> 00:35:07.964 align:center
not of slavery.

00:35:09.407 --> 00:35:11.117 align:center
Were Gandhiji, Nehru,

00:35:11.407 --> 00:35:12.621 align:center
EMS and AKG

00:35:13.133 --> 00:35:14.220 align:center
successful men?

00:35:15.033 --> 00:35:16.197 align:center
Or were they failures?

00:35:16.620 --> 00:35:18.520 align:center
The ones branded as failures are sometimes

00:35:18.653 --> 00:35:19.660 align:center
the real winners.

00:35:19.853 --> 00:35:21.224 align:center
And the so-called great winners...

00:35:21.225 --> 00:35:22.399 align:center
carry the greatest failures.

00:35:28.533 --> 00:35:30.204 align:center
Hey, I'm outside the Secretariat.

00:35:30.205 --> 00:35:32.690 align:center
There's no parking here.
The cops will nab me. Come fast.

00:35:33.017 --> 00:35:34.962 align:center
Come here, dear. I’ll get it for you later

00:35:36.017 --> 00:35:37.871 align:center
Sister, such a good bike, right?

00:35:37.872 --> 00:35:39.086 align:center
Hey, don't touch it!

00:35:39.087 --> 00:35:40.635 align:center
- Let me touch it once.
- No, mom will scold us.

00:35:40.636 --> 00:35:41.721 align:center
Here, have this.

00:35:41.722 --> 00:35:42.831 align:center
No, thanks.

00:35:42.832 --> 00:35:44.067 align:center
Come on.

00:35:53.104 --> 00:35:54.651 align:center
Your speech was superb.

00:35:54.652 --> 00:35:56.978 align:center
It's all over Instagram, stories and reels.

00:35:57.142 --> 00:35:59.564 align:center
Some even shared it on FB and X.

00:35:59.697 --> 00:36:01.120 align:center
Did you really like it?

00:36:01.121 --> 00:36:03.573 align:center
Your usual weird, cringe stuff...
as always.

00:36:03.574 --> 00:36:06.386 align:center
But beyond that, I sensed honesty in it.

00:36:06.387 --> 00:36:07.511 align:center
Oho!

00:36:10.176 --> 00:36:11.340 align:center
We don't need this, sir.

00:36:11.933 --> 00:36:14.440 align:center
If the children ask for it tomorrow,
where will I get it from?

00:36:14.565 --> 00:36:18.096 align:center
We're not sitting here
to receive sweets once in a while.

00:36:18.972 --> 00:36:19.980 align:center
Sorry, chechi.

00:36:30.855 --> 00:36:33.080 align:center
We can't blame her.

00:36:33.081 --> 00:36:35.924 align:center
They've been living in that hut
for 151 days now, as part of the protest.

00:36:35.925 --> 00:36:37.377 align:center
Talk to your father.

00:36:37.378 --> 00:36:38.940 align:center
Ask him to arrange a job for her.

00:36:42.323 --> 00:36:43.347 align:center
I'll try.

00:36:50.707 --> 00:36:53.245 align:center
Didn't I organise
all this just two days ago?

00:36:53.448 --> 00:36:55.402 align:center
You've messed it up again.

00:36:55.519 --> 00:36:57.134 align:center
Only then you'll keep coming back here.

00:36:59.347 --> 00:37:01.542 align:center
So, John, you're leaving tomorrow?

00:37:02.769 --> 00:37:03.777 align:center
When exactly?

00:37:04.058 --> 00:37:05.066 align:center
In two months...

00:37:06.957 --> 00:37:09.768 align:center
If Rosa comes with me, then Comrade, you...

00:37:09.769 --> 00:37:10.822 align:center
Hey, no.

00:37:10.823 --> 00:37:12.073 align:center
Don't even think like that.

00:37:12.847 --> 00:37:15.011 align:center
I enjoy being alone.

00:37:18.113 --> 00:37:19.121 align:center
It's just that...

00:37:20.371 --> 00:37:21.379 align:center
once she leaves,

00:37:21.933 --> 00:37:23.996 align:center
this room will stay messy forever.

00:37:28.730 --> 00:37:29.738 align:center
John...

00:37:30.324 --> 00:37:32.665 align:center
I've been criticising your father
quite strongly.

00:37:33.472 --> 00:37:35.274 align:center
He's heading down a dangerous path.

00:37:35.800 --> 00:37:38.056 align:center
He's become synonymous with corruption.

00:37:39.027 --> 00:37:42.040 align:center
After all, you once raised
our party's slogans.

00:37:42.558 --> 00:37:44.415 align:center
Can't you talk
to your father at least once?

00:37:44.603 --> 00:37:46.955 align:center
Comrade, no one can correct my father.

00:37:47.457 --> 00:37:49.126 align:center
He listens only to himself.

00:37:49.855 --> 00:37:50.863 align:center
Hmm...

00:37:51.316 --> 00:37:53.697 align:center
In a way, it's good
that you two are moving away.

00:37:53.957 --> 00:37:55.736 align:center
The conflict in our politics

00:37:55.737 --> 00:37:57.479 align:center
could spill into your personal lives...

00:37:57.480 --> 00:37:59.785 align:center
if not today, then tomorrow.

00:38:04.479 --> 00:38:05.823 align:center
No, get up, dear.

00:38:08.222 --> 00:38:09.535 align:center
Tomorrow...

00:38:10.183 --> 00:38:11.488 align:center
I'm busy tomorrow.

00:38:11.489 --> 00:38:13.057 align:center
I'm not sure I can make it.

00:38:13.058 --> 00:38:14.103 align:center
That's why I came today.

00:38:14.104 --> 00:38:16.486 align:center
You came and blessed my daughter, sir.

00:38:16.612 --> 00:38:17.987 align:center
That itself is more than enough.

00:38:18.268 --> 00:38:19.276 align:center
Paappachan...

00:38:23.503 --> 00:38:24.969 align:center
- Did you like it?
- Thank you.

00:38:28.894 --> 00:38:31.769 align:center
After the wedding,
come and see me with your groom.

00:38:32.214 --> 00:38:33.680 align:center
Alright, I'll take my leave.

00:38:33.902 --> 00:38:34.910 align:center
God bless.

00:38:46.476 --> 00:38:48.772 align:center
Your flight is at 12.30 tomorrow, right?

00:38:48.773 --> 00:38:50.411 align:center
I asked you to come along so that

00:38:50.412 --> 00:38:52.512 align:center
I could spend some time with you.

00:38:53.515 --> 00:38:56.356 align:center
So, how does it feel
sitting in the No. 1 State car?

00:38:57.151 --> 00:38:58.937 align:center
Too many jerks and jolts.

00:38:58.938 --> 00:39:00.091 align:center
Not smooth at all.

00:39:00.532 --> 00:39:02.594 align:center
Good. That was sharp.

00:39:03.032 --> 00:39:04.671 align:center
Your visit to the bride's house

00:39:04.672 --> 00:39:06.991 align:center
will be in your own paper tomorrow, Dad.

00:39:06.992 --> 00:39:09.794 align:center
"Minister Blesses,
Rahel Smiles With Gratitude."

00:39:10.359 --> 00:39:11.887 align:center
I didn't do it for publicity.

00:39:12.758 --> 00:39:15.270 align:center
I've known Rahel for thirty years.

00:39:15.672 --> 00:39:17.622 align:center
I made her sweeper job permanent.

00:39:17.921 --> 00:39:19.746 align:center
She's been through a lot.

00:39:24.633 --> 00:39:27.982 align:center
Then why can't you give a job
to the woman protesting at the Secretariat?

00:39:27.983 --> 00:39:29.052 align:center
No.

00:39:29.213 --> 00:39:31.541 align:center
She's filed six cases
against the government.

00:39:32.217 --> 00:39:34.139 align:center
Let her sit there with her hut.

00:39:34.725 --> 00:39:37.173 align:center
Why hold such grudges
against people like her, Dad?

00:39:37.174 --> 00:39:38.182 align:center
I will!

00:39:38.501 --> 00:39:40.663 align:center
I'll show love and compassion
where it's due.

00:39:40.924 --> 00:39:43.171 align:center
And I show vengeance
where that's deserved too.

00:39:44.577 --> 00:39:48.260 align:center
The Nedumbassery land case verdict
is tomorrow, right?

00:39:48.527 --> 00:39:50.070 align:center
Will you have to resign?

00:39:51.947 --> 00:39:53.847 align:center
Oh, I've resigned
countless times already!

00:39:53.848 --> 00:39:56.020 align:center
What do you even know about Varghese?

00:39:57.416 --> 00:39:59.380 align:center
A thief. A bloody thief!

00:40:00.642 --> 00:40:01.650 align:center
Get lost!

00:40:24.150 --> 00:40:25.158 align:center
John,

00:40:26.205 --> 00:40:27.962 align:center
there's a Cabinet meeting tomorrow morning.

00:40:27.963 --> 00:40:31.841 align:center
The Vigilance Court
will deliver a favourable verdict.

00:40:33.408 --> 00:40:37.614 align:center
Then a live interview
to flaunt my moral high ground.

00:40:38.196 --> 00:40:40.231 align:center
With Aravindan from On Time News.

00:40:41.174 --> 00:40:45.096 align:center
He's been abusing me
for the last three years.

00:40:46.174 --> 00:40:48.333 align:center
Tomorrow, I'll tear him apart.

00:40:50.150 --> 00:40:52.955 align:center
There are no individuals in politics,

00:40:53.971 --> 00:40:55.653 align:center
only images and perceptions.

00:40:58.985 --> 00:41:01.131 align:center
Your father's ‘man of the people' act,

00:41:01.500 --> 00:41:03.508 align:center
the mass contact programmes,

00:41:04.033 --> 00:41:05.716 align:center
skipped meals, odd eating hours,

00:41:06.835 --> 00:41:08.307 align:center
my smiles,

00:41:08.549 --> 00:41:10.619 align:center
my hand on every shoulder,

00:41:10.846 --> 00:41:13.038 align:center
forcing supporters into cars...

00:41:14.233 --> 00:41:16.471 align:center
that's the performance
the media and public crave.

00:41:17.221 --> 00:41:20.796 align:center
The trick is knowing that,
and using it well.

00:41:21.111 --> 00:41:24.155 align:center
Dad, isn't all this just dishonesty?

00:41:25.111 --> 00:41:26.897 align:center
Haven't you ever felt regret, Dad?

00:41:27.275 --> 00:41:29.530 align:center
Even a sting of conscience?

00:41:31.518 --> 00:41:34.205 align:center
You only see your father's flaws.

00:41:34.595 --> 00:41:35.944 align:center
That's why you're asking this.

00:41:36.674 --> 00:41:38.734 align:center
Thousands like Rahel,
the woman we met earlier...

00:41:38.735 --> 00:41:40.009 align:center
there are many like her.

00:41:40.010 --> 00:41:44.180 align:center
I see their pain and wipe their tears.

00:41:45.697 --> 00:41:48.225 align:center
There are no black cats around your father.

00:41:49.033 --> 00:41:50.041 align:center
Only people.

00:41:51.268 --> 00:41:54.522 align:center
Anyone can approach me anytime
with their problems.

00:41:54.830 --> 00:41:56.272 align:center
If it's something I can fix, I will.

00:41:56.783 --> 00:41:58.460 align:center
I don't bother too much of the law then.

00:41:59.252 --> 00:42:00.671 align:center
When I do a hundred wrongs,

00:42:00.846 --> 00:42:02.491 align:center
I also do a hundred rights.

00:42:03.619 --> 00:42:04.970 align:center
And when I lie down to sleep,

00:42:04.971 --> 00:42:07.117 align:center
I only count the rights.

00:42:07.118 --> 00:42:08.461 align:center
In my head, I go...

00:42:08.462 --> 00:42:11.283 align:center
one, two, three, four...

00:42:11.658 --> 00:42:12.725 align:center
Bam!

00:42:12.726 --> 00:42:14.360 align:center
And I fall into deep sleep.

00:42:15.188 --> 00:42:18.900 align:center
But tonight, I will struggle to sleep.

00:42:20.080 --> 00:42:23.135 align:center
You leaving...
drifting further and further away...

00:42:24.064 --> 00:42:25.781 align:center
I couldn't sleep.

00:42:26.580 --> 00:42:28.798 align:center
It hurts... really badly.

00:42:31.721 --> 00:42:33.955 align:center
How often will we even...

00:42:34.782 --> 00:42:36.829 align:center
get to see each other like this in life?

00:42:47.816 --> 00:42:51.716 align:center
"Salutations to CM K. N. Varghese,
purified through trials of fire."

00:42:51.888 --> 00:42:55.158 align:center
Sloganeering:
Salutations! Salutations!

00:42:59.018 --> 00:43:00.688 align:center
<i>In the Nedumbassery land deal case,</i>

00:43:00.689 --> 00:43:03.002 align:center
<i>CM K. N. Varghese
has been cleared of all charges.</i>

00:43:03.003 --> 00:43:05.573 align:center
<i>The Muvattupuzha Vigilance Court
delivered the verdict.</i>

00:43:05.574 --> 00:43:08.259 align:center
<i>The ruling came after
a three-and-a-half-year trial.</i>

00:43:08.260 --> 00:43:10.703 align:center
<i>And with that, Varghese
emerges stronger in the ruling front.</i>

00:43:10.704 --> 00:43:12.070 align:center
Dad's scored again.

00:43:12.260 --> 00:43:14.571 align:center
Won't you call your father
before boarding?

00:43:14.572 --> 00:43:15.752 align:center
Of course.

00:43:16.455 --> 00:43:19.048 align:center
Dear, don't feel bad that
I'm not coming to the airport.

00:43:19.049 --> 00:43:20.735 align:center
It's Sally aunty's housewarming today.

00:43:20.736 --> 00:43:21.768 align:center
If I don't go...

00:43:21.769 --> 00:43:23.440 align:center
Chechi, it's okay. Don't worry.

00:43:24.148 --> 00:43:27.064 align:center
All this drama and Amma's tears
feel like I'm leaving forever.

00:43:27.065 --> 00:43:28.140 align:center
Shut up!

00:43:28.141 --> 00:43:31.165 align:center
Mom, it's St. Petersburg,
instead of Bangalore. That's all.

00:43:31.166 --> 00:43:33.344 align:center
I'll visit every three or four months.

00:43:33.492 --> 00:43:35.680 align:center
Or why don't you come along
when Rosa comes there?

00:43:35.681 --> 00:43:39.141 align:center
Vodka, Russian ballet...
we'll have a blast!

00:43:39.782 --> 00:43:42.546 align:center
I won't go anywhere without your father.

00:43:42.799 --> 00:43:45.907 align:center
It's okay if you don't call me every day,
but do call him.

00:43:46.174 --> 00:43:48.548 align:center
He's crazy about you.

00:43:48.549 --> 00:43:50.586 align:center
So you're not crazy about me, Annamma?

00:43:50.751 --> 00:43:52.187 align:center
Enough. Leave for the airport now.

00:44:01.760 --> 00:44:04.485 align:center
We're having a celebration
and a meeting for Dad's victory.

00:44:04.486 --> 00:44:06.523 align:center
I just came to see you
before you leave.

00:44:06.524 --> 00:44:07.727 align:center
Call once you reach.

00:44:07.728 --> 00:44:08.877 align:center
Have a blast!

00:44:09.650 --> 00:44:10.791 align:center
Brother...

00:44:12.330 --> 00:44:14.789 align:center
Spend some quality time with Dad.

00:44:16.087 --> 00:44:17.383 align:center
He likes that.

00:44:17.744 --> 00:44:18.752 align:center
I'll try.

00:44:19.602 --> 00:44:21.617 align:center
He doesn't like me much.

00:44:23.057 --> 00:44:24.422 align:center
But he's going to miss you.

00:44:26.367 --> 00:44:27.375 align:center
Take care.

00:44:42.713 --> 00:44:44.188 align:center
Greetings, CM. Congratulations.

00:44:44.797 --> 00:44:46.188 align:center
A brilliant verdict.

00:44:46.189 --> 00:44:47.197 align:center
Thank you.

00:44:47.338 --> 00:44:49.515 align:center
You and your channel
crucified me relentlessly

00:44:49.516 --> 00:44:51.006 align:center
over this corruption case.

00:44:51.007 --> 00:44:53.733 align:center
So I thought...
let's draw the curtain here.

00:44:53.734 --> 00:44:55.077 align:center
Despite all our criticism,

00:44:55.078 --> 00:44:57.805 align:center
your media-friendly attitude
commands respect.

00:44:58.119 --> 00:45:00.784 align:center
Today's Face to Face
is my tribute to you.

00:45:00.785 --> 00:45:02.211 align:center
- Please, come in.
- Thank you.

00:45:12.441 --> 00:45:13.855 align:center
Hello.

00:45:13.981 --> 00:45:15.239 align:center
- Thank you.
- Okay.

00:45:19.907 --> 00:45:21.274 align:center
Alright, you may leave now.

00:45:22.838 --> 00:45:25.806 align:center
Isn't Rosa Luxemburg
suffering from pain of separation?

00:45:25.807 --> 00:45:26.814 align:center
Not at all.

00:45:26.978 --> 00:45:28.040 align:center
Oh!

00:45:28.041 --> 00:45:29.049 align:center
Alright then!

00:45:30.954 --> 00:45:32.102 align:center
John...

00:45:32.384 --> 00:45:35.338 align:center
I know you won’t remember me
once the Russian girls enter the frame.

00:45:35.339 --> 00:45:38.322 align:center
But at least remember Lenin,
still lying there in the dust.

00:45:38.623 --> 00:45:40.327 align:center
The Russians aren’t what they used to be.

00:45:40.454 --> 00:45:41.742 align:center
Most are class enemies.

00:45:41.743 --> 00:45:43.336 align:center
Don't have any alliance with them.

00:45:43.337 --> 00:45:45.228 align:center
Well... I'll try!

00:45:45.385 --> 00:45:47.782 align:center
The Kerala CM has
no political influence in Russia.

00:45:47.783 --> 00:45:48.791 align:center
Copy that.

00:45:49.455 --> 00:45:51.251 align:center
- Lal Salaam!
- Lal Salaam!

00:45:55.689 --> 00:45:56.837 align:center
Bye, Pappachan Chettan.

00:45:56.838 --> 00:45:57.846 align:center
Oh...

00:45:58.127 --> 00:45:59.750 align:center
Fix a drink for my father once in a while.

00:45:59.751 --> 00:46:01.626 align:center
He drinks only with you, dear.

00:46:02.048 --> 00:46:03.056 align:center
Okay.

00:46:11.322 --> 00:46:12.710 align:center
Listen, Aravindan.

00:46:13.015 --> 00:46:14.804 align:center
In the last four years,

00:46:14.805 --> 00:46:17.657 align:center
how many corruption allegations
were hurled at me?

00:46:18.010 --> 00:46:19.018 align:center
At least one...

00:46:19.494 --> 00:46:22.416 align:center
Did you manage to prove
even a single one?

00:46:22.643 --> 00:46:23.650 align:center
No, CM.

00:46:23.791 --> 00:46:26.577 align:center
Today, the court has declared
me not guilty.

00:46:27.376 --> 00:46:29.506 align:center
Did journalists like you

00:46:29.507 --> 00:46:32.093 align:center
show even an ounce of remorse
for your earlier stance?

00:46:32.650 --> 00:46:34.460 align:center
When an allegation surfaces,

00:46:34.632 --> 00:46:36.163 align:center
debates rage day and night!

00:46:36.882 --> 00:46:38.264 align:center
When I'm acquitted,

00:46:38.265 --> 00:46:39.874 align:center
it's a ten-minute scroll.

00:46:40.040 --> 00:46:41.663 align:center
Is that fair, Aravindan?

00:46:42.405 --> 00:46:43.970 align:center
Constant criticism,

00:46:43.971 --> 00:46:45.384 align:center
constant suspicion,

00:46:45.385 --> 00:46:46.749 align:center
constant questions...

00:46:46.874 --> 00:46:49.344 align:center
Isn't that exactly
a journalist's job, CM?

00:46:49.510 --> 00:46:50.518 align:center
Absolutely!

00:46:50.697 --> 00:46:54.726 align:center
But criticism shouldn't come
with an agenda.

00:46:55.640 --> 00:46:57.165 align:center
It must come from conviction.

00:46:57.166 --> 00:46:58.725 align:center
I accept that criticism, CM.

00:46:58.726 --> 00:47:02.569 align:center
So you firmly believe
this government will continue?

00:47:03.279 --> 00:47:05.438 align:center
Even the opposition believes that.

00:47:05.588 --> 00:47:06.799 align:center
Alright, CM.

00:47:07.367 --> 00:47:09.397 align:center
We'll return after a short break.

00:47:11.955 --> 00:47:13.204 align:center
Sir, you're on fire.

00:47:13.205 --> 00:47:14.959 align:center
You're not giving me
any space to defend.

00:47:14.960 --> 00:47:15.849 align:center
Oh...

00:47:15.850 --> 00:47:17.387 align:center
I give strong answers

00:47:17.388 --> 00:47:19.509 align:center
only because you ask
strong questions, Aravindan.

00:47:19.510 --> 00:47:21.665 align:center
May I make a call?

00:47:21.666 --> 00:47:22.674 align:center
Yeah, sure.

00:47:29.251 --> 00:47:30.286 align:center
Hello.

00:47:30.287 --> 00:47:31.602 align:center
Did you check in?

00:47:31.603 --> 00:47:32.611 align:center
Yes.

00:47:32.697 --> 00:47:33.813 align:center
And congratulations!

00:47:34.605 --> 00:47:36.355 align:center
You got the verdict you wanted.

00:47:37.135 --> 00:47:39.668 align:center
Okay. I'll call after the interview.

00:47:39.770 --> 00:47:41.446 align:center
Alright. I'm watching it live.

00:47:41.447 --> 00:47:42.455 align:center
Okay.

00:47:44.293 --> 00:47:45.885 align:center
That was my younger son.

00:47:46.002 --> 00:47:49.025 align:center
He's flying to St. Petersburg today
for some assignment.

00:47:49.142 --> 00:47:50.149 align:center
Let's begin, sir.

00:47:50.244 --> 00:47:52.091 align:center
We have a sharp ten minutes left.

00:47:52.092 --> 00:47:53.614 align:center
Of course. Let's start.

00:47:54.110 --> 00:47:56.696 align:center
Three... Two... One...

00:47:56.697 --> 00:47:57.661 align:center
Go!

00:47:57.662 --> 00:48:00.552 align:center
CM, I'm now raising
a very serious issue.

00:48:02.114 --> 00:48:03.807 align:center
A grave allegation

00:48:03.808 --> 00:48:06.402 align:center
never before reported by any media.

00:48:07.419 --> 00:48:09.513 align:center
In fact, it's not just an allegation.

00:48:09.514 --> 00:48:12.333 align:center
It's a victim's desperate plea.

00:48:13.350 --> 00:48:15.009 align:center
I'm presenting it to you now.

00:48:15.796 --> 00:48:16.803 align:center
What is it?

00:48:16.897 --> 00:48:18.259 align:center
Please watch the video, sir.

00:48:19.974 --> 00:48:21.613 align:center
My company has permission

00:48:21.614 --> 00:48:23.340 align:center
to import white sand.

00:48:23.560 --> 00:48:26.408 align:center
To use it at the construction site,

00:48:26.409 --> 00:48:27.941 align:center
government clearance is required.

00:48:27.942 --> 00:48:30.585 align:center
I personally met the CM several times.

00:48:31.090 --> 00:48:32.643 align:center
Where did you meet him?

00:48:33.379 --> 00:48:35.198 align:center
At his office.

00:48:38.747 --> 00:48:41.293 align:center
When nothing moved,

00:48:41.294 --> 00:48:42.745 align:center
I called the CM directly.

00:48:43.099 --> 00:48:45.880 align:center
He asked me to come to his residence

00:48:46.021 --> 00:48:47.643 align:center
on the 23rd, after 7 PM.

00:48:47.833 --> 00:48:48.841 align:center
Did you go?

00:48:49.505 --> 00:48:50.513 align:center
Yes.

00:48:51.114 --> 00:48:52.122 align:center
Alone?

00:48:52.301 --> 00:48:54.206 align:center
My driver came with me,

00:48:54.318 --> 00:48:55.909 align:center
but stayed in the car.

00:48:57.075 --> 00:48:58.247 align:center
When I went inside,

00:48:58.248 --> 00:49:00.488 align:center
Pappachan Chettan told me
the CM was in his room

00:49:00.489 --> 00:49:01.770 align:center
and asked me to go in.

00:49:02.796 --> 00:49:03.803 align:center
I entered that room.

00:49:04.373 --> 00:49:05.381 align:center
Then...

00:49:06.051 --> 00:49:07.379 align:center
What happened next...

00:49:08.436 --> 00:49:10.060 align:center
What nonsense is this?

00:49:10.061 --> 00:49:11.411 align:center
It's not over yet, CM.

00:49:13.647 --> 00:49:15.694 align:center
There... he forcefully...

00:49:17.960 --> 00:49:21.059 align:center
That wasn't the man
the world knew.

00:49:22.288 --> 00:49:23.559 align:center
He threatened me.

00:49:24.905 --> 00:49:26.372 align:center
I was terrified.

00:49:27.294 --> 00:49:28.512 align:center
He...

00:49:28.741 --> 00:49:30.964 align:center
Are you saying

00:49:30.965 --> 00:49:33.132 align:center
the CM threatened
and sexually exploited you?

00:49:34.202 --> 00:49:35.210 align:center
Yes.

00:49:43.334 --> 00:49:45.379 align:center
Please don't misunderstand,

00:49:45.688 --> 00:49:48.348 align:center
didn't you scream or resist?

00:49:48.547 --> 00:49:51.811 align:center
You can never understand
that kind of intimidation.

00:49:52.695 --> 00:49:54.092 align:center
I was completely shattered.

00:49:54.696 --> 00:49:57.654 align:center
I stayed silent, fearing humiliation.

00:49:58.274 --> 00:49:59.693 align:center
I was cheated...

00:50:01.227 --> 00:50:02.365 align:center
in every way.

00:50:02.805 --> 00:50:05.818 align:center
The trauma became unbearable.

00:50:06.368 --> 00:50:07.584 align:center
Finally, I decided...

00:50:08.195 --> 00:50:11.500 align:center
the world must see
the real face of CM Varghese.

00:50:12.000 --> 00:50:14.717 align:center
That's why I spoke out.

00:50:15.563 --> 00:50:16.571 align:center
I want justice.

00:50:17.203 --> 00:50:19.014 align:center
I'll go to any extent for it.

00:50:19.258 --> 00:50:20.327 align:center
What?

00:50:20.328 --> 00:50:21.639 align:center
What rubbish is this?

00:50:21.804 --> 00:50:23.718 align:center
Would anyone who knows me
believe this?

00:50:23.719 --> 00:50:25.123 align:center
Nisha Chandrakumar.

00:50:25.539 --> 00:50:27.820 align:center
She insisted that when this footage airs,

00:50:27.821 --> 00:50:30.592 align:center
her face must not be masked
and her name stated clearly.

00:50:30.750 --> 00:50:32.282 align:center
You know her, CM?

00:50:32.391 --> 00:50:33.436 align:center
Yes.

00:50:33.437 --> 00:50:35.234 align:center
Many approach me with grievances.

00:50:35.235 --> 00:50:36.299 align:center
She was one of them.

00:50:36.300 --> 00:50:39.031 align:center
Her issue had legal complications.

00:50:39.032 --> 00:50:40.562 align:center
And her allegation?

00:50:40.758 --> 00:50:41.843 align:center
That's my question.

00:50:41.844 --> 00:50:44.218 align:center
Would anyone who knows me believe it?

00:50:44.391 --> 00:50:46.351 align:center
Aravindan, do you believe this?

00:50:46.352 --> 00:50:48.927 align:center
This isn't about my belief, CM.

00:50:49.059 --> 00:50:53.242 align:center
It's for you to prove
the allegation is false.

00:50:53.766 --> 00:50:54.774 align:center
Only you.

00:50:54.969 --> 00:50:55.977 align:center
That's the law.

00:50:56.825 --> 00:51:01.131 align:center
Two things must be established.

00:51:01.132 --> 00:51:02.929 align:center
When and where.

00:51:03.633 --> 00:51:06.906 align:center
That date is recorded in my diary.

00:51:07.133 --> 00:51:08.211 align:center
You may verify it.

00:51:08.212 --> 00:51:09.695 align:center
We already did, CM.

00:51:09.696 --> 00:51:12.545 align:center
You were at your residence
from 6.30 PM onward.

00:51:12.546 --> 00:51:13.554 align:center
You didn't step out.

00:51:13.640 --> 00:51:15.914 align:center
Your family was at a wedding reception

00:51:15.915 --> 00:51:18.765 align:center
in Kottayam that evening.

00:51:18.961 --> 00:51:21.356 align:center
Only your personal staff were present.

00:51:21.545 --> 00:51:24.688 align:center
I have never met this woman

00:51:24.689 --> 00:51:26.777 align:center
at my residence.

00:51:27.321 --> 00:51:28.687 align:center
She's lying.

00:51:28.688 --> 00:51:30.137 align:center
Then look at this.

00:51:52.774 --> 00:51:56.472 align:center
These visuals show her
entering your residence

00:51:56.473 --> 00:51:59.605 align:center
and speaking to your aide, Pappachan.

00:51:59.842 --> 00:52:04.132 align:center
Her driver recorded this randomly as proof.

00:52:04.538 --> 00:52:07.523 align:center
We verified the date and time.

00:52:07.524 --> 00:52:09.625 align:center
Both are accurate.

00:52:13.125 --> 00:52:14.579 align:center
Which means, CM...

00:52:14.580 --> 00:52:15.993 align:center
you lied...

00:52:16.874 --> 00:52:18.819 align:center
to the people of this state.

00:52:38.312 --> 00:52:40.388 align:center
Kerala's Chief Minister lied

00:52:40.389 --> 00:52:43.171 align:center
while denying a sexual assault allegation.

00:52:43.788 --> 00:52:45.169 align:center
In solidarity with the survivor!

00:52:45.170 --> 00:52:48.053 align:center
That is our channel's stand.

00:52:48.929 --> 00:52:51.742 align:center
So the answer to your earlier question...

00:52:51.992 --> 00:52:53.763 align:center
We don't believe you, CM.

00:52:54.423 --> 00:52:55.929 align:center
And it won't stop with me.

00:52:55.930 --> 00:52:58.873 align:center
The public will think the same.

00:52:59.140 --> 00:53:00.755 align:center
When you rule this state

00:53:00.756 --> 00:53:04.389 align:center
as its sole authority and supreme ruler
in all its pride,

00:53:04.608 --> 00:53:06.615 align:center
will the police under your command

00:53:06.616 --> 00:53:10.077 align:center
investigate a crime
the victim says you committed?

00:53:10.210 --> 00:53:14.342 align:center
Who will ensure
that helpless woman gets justice?

00:53:14.936 --> 00:53:17.444 align:center
That's for you to answer,
Honourable Chief Minister of Kerala.

00:53:17.882 --> 00:53:20.787 align:center
The state now awaits for your response.

00:53:30.722 --> 00:53:33.638 align:center
An impartial investigation
will be conducted.

00:53:33.913 --> 00:53:35.725 align:center
I'll ensure it.

00:53:36.788 --> 00:53:39.444 align:center
After this, I'll meet
the Party President

00:53:39.680 --> 00:53:41.180 align:center
and then address the public.

00:53:50.207 --> 00:53:52.409 align:center
In the wake of the assault allegation

00:53:52.410 --> 00:53:54.488 align:center
against CM Varghese Antony,

00:53:54.489 --> 00:53:56.992 align:center
he is heading to meet
Party President Purushothaman.

00:53:56.993 --> 00:53:59.141 align:center
For sure this may signal resignation.

00:53:59.254 --> 00:54:00.394 align:center
Yes!

00:54:00.395 --> 00:54:03.277 align:center
Kerala CM Varghese Antony is resigning!

00:54:07.066 --> 00:54:10.199 align:center
A historic victory
for fearless journalism.

00:54:32.390 --> 00:54:33.888 align:center
Pappachan...

00:54:34.303 --> 00:54:35.311 align:center
Water.

00:54:37.258 --> 00:54:39.461 align:center
"Rapist CM, step down!"

00:54:43.420 --> 00:54:45.531 align:center
<i>Kerala Chief Minister KN Varghese</i>

00:54:45.532 --> 00:54:47.872 align:center
<i>is facing serious allegations
of sexual misconduct.</i>

00:54:48.000 --> 00:54:50.903 align:center
<i>This is the biggest riot
Kerala has ever witnessed,</i>

00:54:50.904 --> 00:54:53.092 align:center
<i>with CPNM activists in a state of rage.</i>

00:54:53.525 --> 00:54:55.864 align:center
<i>One question on everyone's mind.</i>

00:54:56.066 --> 00:55:00.522 align:center
<i>Widespread protests by CPNM members
erupt across the state.</i>

00:55:00.523 --> 00:55:02.960 align:center
<i>Although the Chief Minister
attempted to deny the allegations</i>

00:55:02.961 --> 00:55:04.797 align:center
<i>by trying to bury the truth,</i>

00:55:04.798 --> 00:55:06.948 align:center
<i>it was On Time News'
careful and responsible reporting</i>

00:55:06.949 --> 00:55:08.860 align:center
<i>reporting that brought
many hidden facts to light.</i>

00:55:08.968 --> 00:55:11.055 align:center
Sir, it's best that the
CM doesn't come here now.

00:55:11.843 --> 00:55:13.597 align:center
There's a chance of mob violence.

00:55:14.416 --> 00:55:15.543 align:center
Sir...

00:55:15.544 --> 00:55:16.657 align:center
Yes, sir.

00:55:17.344 --> 00:55:19.547 align:center
What can I do?
CM's already on his way.

00:55:19.548 --> 00:55:20.736 align:center
Control the crowd.

00:55:23.912 --> 00:55:24.962 align:center
Move!

00:55:24.963 --> 00:55:26.830 align:center
Come on! Move! Clear the way!

00:56:05.814 --> 00:56:07.025 align:center
I’ll meet you.

00:56:07.486 --> 00:56:08.947 align:center
I won’t leave without seeing you.

00:56:11.372 --> 00:56:12.406 align:center
Oh, no! Sir!

00:56:12.606 --> 00:56:13.732 align:center
Sir...

00:56:20.683 --> 00:56:22.223 align:center
Start the car.

00:56:24.524 --> 00:56:25.844 align:center
Start the car!

00:56:36.453 --> 00:56:37.917 align:center
What a useless police force!

00:56:37.918 --> 00:56:39.417 align:center
Is this how you protect a CM?

00:56:39.418 --> 00:56:41.135 align:center
Step back! Move!

00:56:42.077 --> 00:56:43.675 align:center
<i>Today is a dark day in</i>

00:56:43.676 --> 00:56:45.056 align:center
the history of democracy.

00:56:45.227 --> 00:56:48.025 align:center
After a sexual allegation
was made against him

00:56:48.026 --> 00:56:50.669 align:center
during an interview with a media outlet,

00:56:50.670 --> 00:56:55.077 align:center
KN Varghese was ready to
resign immediately.

00:56:55.344 --> 00:56:57.165 align:center
For the wounds he suffered here today,

00:56:57.297 --> 00:56:58.632 align:center
for the blood that was spilled,

00:56:58.744 --> 00:57:00.499 align:center
we will seek retribution.

00:57:00.650 --> 00:57:02.186 align:center
Sir, will the CM resign immediately?

00:57:02.456 --> 00:57:03.550 align:center
Yes, he will.

00:57:25.537 --> 00:57:26.959 align:center
- Aunty...
- Yes?

00:57:27.070 --> 00:57:28.149 align:center
I had gone to your house.

00:57:28.150 --> 00:57:30.135 align:center
But a lady there told me you'd be here.

00:57:30.290 --> 00:57:31.430 align:center
That's why I came here.

00:57:32.217 --> 00:57:33.626 align:center
Who are you, son?

00:57:33.844 --> 00:57:35.640 align:center
- Aunty, don't you recognise me?
- No.

00:57:35.815 --> 00:57:36.844 align:center
I'm Vinod.

00:57:37.411 --> 00:57:39.049 align:center
I worked here about ten years ago.

00:57:39.050 --> 00:57:40.517 align:center
For... almost six months.

00:57:41.745 --> 00:57:43.205 align:center
Then, sir took me abroad.

00:57:43.753 --> 00:57:46.246 align:center
Sir asked me to give this to you.

00:57:46.650 --> 00:57:48.136 align:center
- That's why I came.
- Alright.

00:57:48.137 --> 00:57:50.381 align:center
I'm leaving now, aunty.
My wife just gave birth...

00:57:50.610 --> 00:57:52.327 align:center
to a daughter...
I need to go and see them.

00:57:53.167 --> 00:57:55.344 align:center
Ah, today is Makam.
That's a good star for girls.

00:57:55.470 --> 00:57:57.263 align:center
- That's right.
- It's a lucky star.

00:57:57.264 --> 00:57:58.437 align:center
- Alright, then.
- Okay, bye.

00:58:02.335 --> 00:58:03.381 align:center
DUBAI

00:58:03.382 --> 00:58:06.361 align:center
Yeah, you can look around 600 million
as an initial investment.

00:58:07.500 --> 00:58:08.507 align:center
Excuse me.

00:58:10.333 --> 00:58:11.400 align:center
Tell me, Vinod.

00:58:11.401 --> 00:58:12.969 align:center
I've handed it over to your mother.

00:58:12.970 --> 00:58:13.977 align:center
Alright.

00:58:14.274 --> 00:58:15.989 align:center
By the way, I heard you've had a daughter.

00:58:15.990 --> 00:58:16.997 align:center
Yes, sir.

00:58:17.170 --> 00:58:18.896 align:center
She's got a gift coming from me.

00:58:18.897 --> 00:58:20.047 align:center
Thank you, sir. Thank you.

00:58:48.531 --> 00:58:53.743 align:center
Yes! World's biggest casino will be
opening by 2027 in Alberto island.

00:58:53.744 --> 00:58:55.228 align:center
The whole world will be here.

00:59:15.688 --> 00:59:18.485 align:center
P... E... N!

00:59:18.634 --> 00:59:19.923 align:center
- Pen!
- Aha!

00:59:20.297 --> 00:59:21.748 align:center
What are you doing, dear?

00:59:22.244 --> 00:59:23.889 align:center
- Are you studying?
- Mm...

00:59:24.586 --> 00:59:26.262 align:center
She has quite a lot of homework to do.

00:59:26.263 --> 00:59:28.001 align:center
Come, let's go inside and complete it.

00:59:38.264 --> 00:59:39.270 align:center
Here.

00:59:45.231 --> 00:59:46.569 align:center
Aren't you taking a bath?

00:59:48.209 --> 00:59:49.338 align:center
Annamma...

00:59:49.504 --> 00:59:50.510 align:center
You must've heard...

00:59:51.364 --> 00:59:52.750 align:center
I've given in my resignation.

00:59:53.944 --> 00:59:55.389 align:center
Why are you upset?

00:59:55.750 --> 00:59:57.181 align:center
Don't I know you?

01:00:01.717 --> 01:00:03.405 align:center
At least you could've told me...

01:00:03.497 --> 01:00:04.943 align:center
he'd cancelled his trip.

01:00:04.944 --> 01:00:06.440 align:center
I told Mom not to tell you.

01:00:06.748 --> 01:00:08.375 align:center
Thought I'd give you a little surprise.

01:00:08.376 --> 01:00:09.962 align:center
You shouldn't have cancelled your trip.

01:00:10.090 --> 01:00:11.554 align:center
If you don't arrive on time,

01:00:11.717 --> 01:00:13.644 align:center
won't things get held up?

01:00:14.070 --> 01:00:16.041 align:center
Oh, that's manageable for a few weeks.

01:00:16.209 --> 01:00:17.401 align:center
Dad, go freshen up and come.

01:00:17.402 --> 01:00:18.576 align:center
Let's have a drink.

01:00:18.729 --> 01:00:19.736 align:center
Okay?

01:00:38.010 --> 01:00:39.428 align:center
Why aren't you drinking, Dad?

01:00:55.354 --> 01:00:56.697 align:center
Two stitches.

01:00:58.060 --> 01:01:00.799 align:center
I've taken lathi blows, pushes
and pulls from the police before.

01:01:00.800 --> 01:01:02.696 align:center
It's the first time
I've been hit by a stone.

01:01:03.234 --> 01:01:04.687 align:center
They arrested the guy.

01:01:05.007 --> 01:01:06.014 align:center
Oh...

01:01:06.307 --> 01:01:08.564 align:center
I told the DIG not to charge him
with anything major.

01:01:09.154 --> 01:01:11.261 align:center
The fellow did what
any spirited young man would do

01:01:11.262 --> 01:01:13.063 align:center
if he got his hands on a chief minister

01:01:13.594 --> 01:01:16.667 align:center
who assaulted a woman
at his official residence.

01:01:17.873 --> 01:01:21.863 align:center
Why did you lie about that woman
not coming here?

01:01:22.720 --> 01:01:25.334 align:center
When they started showing her footage,

01:01:25.626 --> 01:01:26.999 align:center
I got anxious.

01:01:27.933 --> 01:01:31.233 align:center
I realised the interview was a trap.

01:01:32.107 --> 01:01:33.945 align:center
I thought denying it in the interview...

01:01:33.946 --> 01:01:35.988 align:center
saying she never came here would be enough

01:01:36.888 --> 01:01:38.573 align:center
and I could just prove it later.

01:01:38.574 --> 01:01:41.100 align:center
I thought I could manipulate it
and manage it.

01:01:41.903 --> 01:01:46.178 align:center
I've dealt with crises the same way before.

01:01:46.939 --> 01:01:47.946 align:center
But...

01:01:48.034 --> 01:01:49.040 align:center
this time...

01:01:49.534 --> 01:01:50.540 align:center
I failed.

01:01:52.320 --> 01:01:54.893 align:center
<i>I met her here for barely ten minutes.</i>

01:01:56.080 --> 01:01:58.881 align:center
<i>I consoled and told her
I'd do what was needed and sent her back.</i>

01:01:59.600 --> 01:02:01.815 align:center
Son, I've done many bad things...

01:02:02.686 --> 01:02:03.887 align:center
But this...

01:02:04.014 --> 01:02:05.020 align:center
this I didn't do.

01:02:05.994 --> 01:02:07.620 align:center
Do you really think I'd do this?

01:02:09.167 --> 01:02:10.174 align:center
Dad...

01:02:10.306 --> 01:02:11.313 align:center
What is this?

01:02:12.779 --> 01:02:13.786 align:center
I am with you.

01:02:16.147 --> 01:02:17.153 align:center
Let's face it...

01:02:19.414 --> 01:02:20.420 align:center
Right?

01:02:20.960 --> 01:02:22.346 align:center
Not just face it.

01:02:22.974 --> 01:02:24.187 align:center
You should fight it, Dad.

01:02:24.474 --> 01:02:25.614 align:center
We must fight.

01:02:27.887 --> 01:02:29.965 align:center
We need to find who set you up.

01:02:30.661 --> 01:02:31.927 align:center
Then finish them...

01:02:32.060 --> 01:02:33.203 align:center
in the usual Varghese style.

01:02:33.366 --> 01:02:34.373 align:center
Okay?

01:02:35.240 --> 01:02:37.107 align:center
Even the biggest corruption charges

01:02:37.785 --> 01:02:38.964 align:center
can be survived.

01:02:39.400 --> 01:02:40.431 align:center
But...

01:02:40.432 --> 01:02:42.182 align:center
when it comes to cases involving women...

01:02:42.183 --> 01:02:43.756 align:center
the stain never washes off.

01:02:44.447 --> 01:02:46.111 align:center
Even after you die,

01:02:46.112 --> 01:02:47.499 align:center
while lying in a freezer,

01:02:47.500 --> 01:02:50.241 align:center
people will see only that stain.

01:02:55.707 --> 01:02:56.827 align:center
Tobin is lying inside,

01:02:56.920 --> 01:02:58.427 align:center
unconscious and drunk.

01:02:59.374 --> 01:03:02.754 align:center
He told Mom
that his political future was over.

01:03:03.734 --> 01:03:06.334 align:center
He must find it hard to face me.

01:03:08.180 --> 01:03:09.683 align:center
When you stand with me like this,

01:03:10.387 --> 01:03:11.610 align:center
I feel strong.

01:03:12.934 --> 01:03:13.940 align:center
Let's fight.

01:03:17.060 --> 01:03:18.242 align:center
That's my dad.

01:03:22.023 --> 01:03:23.030 align:center
Goodnight, Dad.

01:03:23.147 --> 01:03:24.405 align:center
Goodnight, dear.

01:03:32.758 --> 01:03:34.034 align:center
<i>I was cheated...</i>

01:03:34.649 --> 01:03:36.204 align:center
<i>A grave allegation...</i>

01:03:36.768 --> 01:03:38.593 align:center
<i>There... he forcefully...</i>

01:03:39.387 --> 01:03:40.967 align:center
<i>- Yes...
- Which means, CM...</i>

01:03:41.193 --> 01:03:42.610 align:center
<i>you lied...</i>

01:03:44.196 --> 01:03:45.393 align:center
<i>to the people of this state.</i>

01:03:45.394 --> 01:03:46.395 align:center
Wake up, John...

01:03:46.618 --> 01:03:47.624 align:center
John! Get up!

01:03:48.663 --> 01:03:50.210 align:center
John, wake up...

01:03:50.211 --> 01:03:51.457 align:center
John... get up please!

01:03:51.569 --> 01:03:52.601 align:center
What's wrong?

01:03:52.602 --> 01:03:54.162 align:center
Just come with me...

01:03:54.612 --> 01:03:55.551 align:center
What's the matter?

01:04:11.232 --> 01:04:13.359 align:center
Wake up, dear...

01:04:28.246 --> 01:04:29.313 align:center
Dear...

01:04:44.400 --> 01:04:45.573 align:center
Dad...

01:04:46.977 --> 01:04:48.099 align:center
John...

01:04:50.706 --> 01:04:51.899 align:center
Dad...

<i>since the death of CM Varghese Antony.</i>

01:09:43.364 --> 01:09:45.481 align:center
<i>Sharp divisions
and bitter factional power struggles</i>

01:09:45.482 --> 01:09:47.051 align:center
<i>have erupted within the NDC</i>

01:09:47.052 --> 01:09:49.465 align:center
<i>over the choice of the next Chief Minister.</i>

01:09:49.763 --> 01:09:52.107 align:center
Gentlemen, please cooperate.

01:09:53.083 --> 01:09:56.989 align:center
Whether you say it in English or Hindi,
our answer is the same, CK.

01:09:57.114 --> 01:09:59.801 align:center
We cannot accept Purushothaman!

01:10:02.169 --> 01:10:04.856 align:center
"Farewell to the People's Leader!"

01:10:09.057 --> 01:10:10.713 align:center
Your father used to say,

01:10:11.685 --> 01:10:15.752 align:center
after his burial,
people would flock to his grave

01:10:16.362 --> 01:10:18.166 align:center
with flowers and candles.

01:10:20.072 --> 01:10:22.285 align:center
He never imagined being forgotten,

01:10:22.286 --> 01:10:24.143 align:center
left alone without a single soul.

01:10:25.302 --> 01:10:28.112 align:center
But now, it's just us here.

01:10:28.754 --> 01:10:33.387 align:center
To the world,
your father is now branded a criminal.

01:10:35.380 --> 01:10:37.380 align:center
I can't bear this, my son...

01:10:57.372 --> 01:10:59.986 align:center
However, this is ultimately
a game of numbers and majority.

01:11:00.934 --> 01:11:02.556 align:center
The situation clearly favours Tobin.

01:11:02.693 --> 01:11:04.666 align:center
So, shall we draw a conclusion?

01:11:04.927 --> 01:11:07.463 align:center
Tobin will comfortably win the by-election.

01:11:07.718 --> 01:11:10.618 align:center
Besides, that constituency
accepts only Varghese and his family.

01:11:11.364 --> 01:11:12.396 align:center
But...

01:11:12.397 --> 01:11:14.616 align:center
before you take a call,
watch this once.

01:11:14.617 --> 01:11:16.785 align:center
<i>This is Sukesh Pandey.
We are breaking a story</i>

01:11:16.786 --> 01:11:19.972 align:center
with serious financial
and political consequences.

01:11:20.311 --> 01:11:21.597 align:center
John Varghese,

01:11:21.904 --> 01:11:25.026 align:center
the second son of the late
Kerala Chief Minister,

01:11:25.027 --> 01:11:26.948 align:center
who died amid a sex scandal

01:11:26.949 --> 01:11:29.357 align:center
is under a cloud
over the sale of his tech start-up,

01:11:29.358 --> 01:11:31.842 align:center
just as his elder brother

01:11:31.843 --> 01:11:34.393 align:center
prepares to inherit the political mantle.

01:11:34.394 --> 01:11:37.004 align:center
John Varghese,
the second son of late CM KN Varghese,

01:11:37.005 --> 01:11:39.574 align:center
has allegedly been involved
in black money transactions

01:11:39.575 --> 01:11:41.295 align:center
amounting to nearly 125 crore rupees.

01:11:41.296 --> 01:11:43.448 align:center
The revelation has sent shock waves
across the state.

01:11:43.632 --> 01:11:44.964 align:center
For the first time in history,

01:11:44.965 --> 01:11:47.378 align:center
central investigating agencies have stormed

01:11:47.379 --> 01:11:49.256 align:center
the official residence of a Chief Minister.

01:11:49.257 --> 01:11:50.684 align:center
For the past two hours,

01:11:50.685 --> 01:11:53.309 align:center
an ED raid has been underway
at the CM's official residence.

01:11:53.310 --> 01:11:55.617 align:center
John, the prodigal son of KN Varghese,

01:11:55.618 --> 01:11:57.841 align:center
faces allegations
of a 100 crore rupees FEMA violation.

01:11:57.842 --> 01:11:58.866 align:center
With this,

01:11:58.867 --> 01:12:01.729 align:center
the Varghese family finds itself
relentlessly chased by controversy.

01:12:01.730 --> 01:12:03.432 align:center
"Confusion. Uncertainty."

01:12:05.794 --> 01:12:07.857 align:center
The ED has gathered enough evidence.

01:12:07.858 --> 01:12:10.693 align:center
Sources say John Varghese may be
taken into custody any moment.

01:12:15.145 --> 01:12:17.208 align:center
<i>But the red flags are real.</i>

01:12:17.575 --> 01:12:19.263 align:center
<i>And they are serious.</i>

01:12:20.051 --> 01:12:22.934 align:center
Money, legacy, power collide.

01:12:23.814 --> 01:12:26.122 align:center
The public deserves answers

01:12:26.255 --> 01:12:27.903 align:center
and the truth.

01:12:33.880 --> 01:12:38.739 align:center
Even now, the question of
who the next CM will be remains unanswered...

01:12:45.763 --> 01:12:47.723 align:center
Sir... sir... sir...

01:12:47.887 --> 01:12:49.493 align:center
Sir, what's your response?

01:12:49.581 --> 01:12:51.002 align:center
Give us a moment of peace!

01:12:51.253 --> 01:12:53.467 align:center
Sir, will your brother be arrested soon?

01:12:53.468 --> 01:12:56.729 align:center
Haven't you witch-hunted
our family enough already?

01:12:56.730 --> 01:12:58.526 align:center
Sir, how do you respond to this crisis?

01:12:58.693 --> 01:13:00.630 align:center
Isn't all this chaos

01:13:00.631 --> 01:13:03.263 align:center
because you refused to vacate
the official residence?

01:13:03.264 --> 01:13:04.272 align:center
Don't get smart.

01:13:04.538 --> 01:13:05.546 align:center
Never.

01:13:06.561 --> 01:13:07.569 align:center
Let's go.

01:13:13.022 --> 01:13:14.030 align:center
Don't come.

01:13:14.382 --> 01:13:16.182 align:center
Media everywhere outside.

01:13:23.438 --> 01:13:25.663 align:center
There are three vigilance cases
against you.

01:13:25.664 --> 01:13:27.108 align:center
Will the next probe reach you as well?

01:13:27.109 --> 01:13:28.141 align:center
Who?

01:13:28.142 --> 01:13:29.413 align:center
Who are you people, anyway?

01:13:29.414 --> 01:13:31.477 align:center
Tobin! We'll go inside, talk it out,

01:13:31.478 --> 01:13:33.516 align:center
come back and see you.
Isn't that enough?

01:13:33.950 --> 01:13:35.098 align:center
- Move. Move.
- Sir, sir--

01:13:35.397 --> 01:13:36.615 align:center
Sir! Sir!

01:13:37.952 --> 01:13:39.232 align:center
- Get in.
- Officer...

01:13:39.233 --> 01:13:41.066 align:center
- I want to talk to him.
- Not possible. Sorry.

01:13:41.067 --> 01:13:42.373 align:center
I want to talk to him!

01:13:44.272 --> 01:13:45.593 align:center
Brother...

01:13:46.843 --> 01:13:48.244 align:center
You've destroyed everything.

01:13:48.944 --> 01:13:50.639 align:center
I was to take oath

01:13:50.640 --> 01:13:52.717 align:center
as the Chief Minister of Kerala
in five days.

01:13:53.021 --> 01:13:54.628 align:center
Me, Ramakrishnan sir,

01:13:54.629 --> 01:13:56.810 align:center
everyone who stood by our father...
we're finished.

01:13:57.362 --> 01:13:58.913 align:center
Brother... I...

01:13:59.002 --> 01:14:00.997 align:center
You've driven
the final nail into our coffin.

01:14:00.998 --> 01:14:02.321 align:center
Enough. Enough. Please come.

01:14:11.282 --> 01:14:13.266 align:center
John Varghese's money-laundering scandal

01:14:13.267 --> 01:14:16.188 align:center
doesn't just corner the Varghese family
or the NDC.

01:14:16.341 --> 01:14:19.054 align:center
It also pushes the CPNM
into a serious crisis.

01:14:19.055 --> 01:14:20.329 align:center
As we all know,

01:14:20.330 --> 01:14:21.986 align:center
John Varghese is married

01:14:22.141 --> 01:14:24.859 align:center
to the daughter of MP Jayadevan,
a senior CPNM leader

01:14:24.860 --> 01:14:27.657 align:center
with the image of an untainted,
staunch communist.

01:14:27.766 --> 01:14:31.312 align:center
How Jayadevan
and the CPNM respond

01:14:31.313 --> 01:14:33.485 align:center
to John Varghese's money-laundering case

01:14:33.486 --> 01:14:36.095 align:center
is what political Kerala
is watching closely.

01:14:36.993 --> 01:14:39.437 align:center
Sir, this is Samuel.

01:14:39.743 --> 01:14:40.750 align:center
From Mallu Voice.

01:14:40.844 --> 01:14:41.852 align:center
Go on.

01:14:42.149 --> 01:14:44.485 align:center
I'm about to drop another big one.

01:14:44.604 --> 01:14:46.197 align:center
Alright. I'm stepping into a meeting.

01:14:46.361 --> 01:14:47.368 align:center
Okay.

01:14:47.658 --> 01:14:49.491 align:center
Step out only as Chief Minister.

01:14:50.890 --> 01:14:52.906 align:center
Sources say the ED has uncovered

01:14:52.907 --> 01:14:55.234 align:center
fresh evidence against John Varghese.

01:14:55.375 --> 01:14:57.326 align:center
One after another,

01:14:57.327 --> 01:15:00.538 align:center
central agencies are stepping in
with new investigations.

01:15:00.736 --> 01:15:03.061 align:center
The noose tightens
around the Varghese family.

01:15:03.062 --> 01:15:05.726 align:center
From "female" to FEMA violations,
the fall is dramatic.

01:15:06.297 --> 01:15:10.850 align:center
Dig deeper into the crimes
John is accused of,

01:15:10.960 --> 01:15:15.156 align:center
and at the very end,
loom the dark, powerful hands of Varghese.

01:15:15.592 --> 01:15:19.045 align:center
With central agencies launching
their probe,

01:15:19.157 --> 01:15:22.413 align:center
the roots of this corrupt family
have been shaken.

01:15:22.414 --> 01:15:24.694 align:center
All that remains to be seen now is

01:15:24.695 --> 01:15:26.843 align:center
where the father and son
have hidden the money.

01:15:26.844 --> 01:15:27.852 align:center
My dear...

01:15:30.411 --> 01:15:31.591 align:center
Aren't you going back?

01:15:32.039 --> 01:15:35.446 align:center
It would ease John's mother's mind
if you were there.

01:15:43.516 --> 01:15:46.592 align:center
Dad, John would never agree
to any shady deal.

01:15:47.516 --> 01:15:48.524 align:center
I know, dear.

01:15:49.407 --> 01:15:51.412 align:center
There's a conspiracy behind all this.

01:15:51.899 --> 01:15:54.149 align:center
Nothing will happen to John.

01:15:54.703 --> 01:15:57.349 align:center
If you've nothing to hide,
you've nothing to fear.

01:15:57.741 --> 01:15:58.819 align:center
Go home, dear.

01:16:03.327 --> 01:16:04.488 align:center
It's been two days

01:16:04.599 --> 01:16:07.341 align:center
since John Varghese
was taken into ED custody.

01:16:07.882 --> 01:16:10.520 align:center
I'm not discussing the circumstances

01:16:10.521 --> 01:16:12.005 align:center
that led to Varghese sir's death.

01:16:12.006 --> 01:16:13.382 align:center
Stop it, President.

01:16:13.655 --> 01:16:15.625 align:center
It's been 72 hours

01:16:15.626 --> 01:16:17.952 align:center
my brother's been held
without an arrest.

01:16:18.194 --> 01:16:20.717 align:center
Has the Party raised
even a single protest?

01:16:20.718 --> 01:16:21.817 align:center
Tobin, sit down.

01:16:22.405 --> 01:16:23.413 align:center
I said, sit down!

01:16:24.686 --> 01:16:28.069 align:center
I will not speak
for anyone involved in financial fraud.

01:16:28.249 --> 01:16:29.257 align:center
Never.

01:16:31.139 --> 01:16:33.590 align:center
Tobin, please control your temper

01:16:33.944 --> 01:16:35.098 align:center
and show some respect.

01:16:35.599 --> 01:16:38.896 align:center
While factions play the numbers game,
calculating strength and loyalties,

01:16:38.897 --> 01:16:41.324 align:center
governance stands paralysed.

01:16:41.983 --> 01:16:44.624 align:center
We still don't have a Chief Minister.

01:16:45.303 --> 01:16:47.569 align:center
How long will this uncertainty continue?

01:16:47.718 --> 01:16:51.843 align:center
Kerala will not forgive
this political impotence.

01:16:52.168 --> 01:16:53.459 align:center
CK, your response?

01:16:53.460 --> 01:16:56.083 align:center
I've explained the situation
to the Party President.

01:16:56.084 --> 01:16:57.682 align:center
Madam's position for now

01:16:57.683 --> 01:16:59.872 align:center
is not to consider Tobin as CM.

01:17:04.491 --> 01:17:06.310 align:center
We need PP's profile on air, now!

01:17:06.311 --> 01:17:07.888 align:center
Call everyone you can.
Get reactions.

01:17:07.889 --> 01:17:08.896 align:center
Sir.

01:17:08.991 --> 01:17:11.433 align:center
I can't agree to a one-sided decision.

01:17:12.124 --> 01:17:14.943 align:center
How many MLAs in the Party
actually back Purushothaman sir?

01:17:14.944 --> 01:17:16.816 align:center
Forget the numbers, Tobin ji.

01:17:17.257 --> 01:17:20.050 align:center
Your entire family
is now tainted by corruption.

01:17:20.835 --> 01:17:23.186 align:center
You also have
three vigilance cases against you.

01:17:23.406 --> 01:17:24.469 align:center
Don't forget it, Tobin.

01:17:24.470 --> 01:17:26.881 align:center
Anyone who questions
the Party President's call

01:17:26.882 --> 01:17:28.683 align:center
has no place left in the Party.

01:17:28.788 --> 01:17:30.724 align:center
So what I'm saying is...

01:17:30.725 --> 01:17:33.035 align:center
as Kerala's next Chief Minister--

01:17:33.036 --> 01:17:34.804 align:center
Hold on!

01:17:34.805 --> 01:17:36.394 align:center
Switch on the TV.

01:17:38.178 --> 01:17:39.414 align:center
The enquiry was about

01:17:39.415 --> 01:17:41.323 align:center
how the 96 crore rupees
Mr John Varghese earned

01:17:41.324 --> 01:17:43.253 align:center
from selling his start-up
was accounted for.

01:17:43.499 --> 01:17:45.271 align:center
Some of you may have heard of

01:17:45.272 --> 01:17:48.238 align:center
the Samyojitha Trust for Child Care,
based in UP.

01:17:48.952 --> 01:17:52.689 align:center
The Trust focuses on education
and social security

01:17:52.690 --> 01:17:56.200 align:center
for girls from Dalit, Adivasi,
and minority communities.

01:17:56.365 --> 01:17:59.458 align:center
Mr John Varghese donated 80 crore rupees
to this Trust.

01:17:59.679 --> 01:18:02.023 align:center
We have verified
and cross-checked everything.

01:18:02.115 --> 01:18:04.207 align:center
The remaining 16 crore rupees

01:18:04.303 --> 01:18:06.156 align:center
was donated to an organisation called

01:18:06.157 --> 01:18:08.230 align:center
Movement for Data Freedom and Democracy,

01:18:08.231 --> 01:18:10.701 align:center
which works for democratic transparency.

01:18:11.100 --> 01:18:12.154 align:center
Sir, sir...

01:18:12.155 --> 01:18:14.538 align:center
Sir, how do you respond
to these allegations?

01:18:14.539 --> 01:18:16.296 align:center
Is this a conspiracy,
Mr John Varghese?

01:18:16.522 --> 01:18:18.077 align:center
As you may know,

01:18:18.078 --> 01:18:20.343 align:center
Movement for Data Freedom and Democracy

01:18:20.344 --> 01:18:23.714 align:center
has exposed nearly 18 scams,

01:18:23.715 --> 01:18:26.842 align:center
including the arms deal scam
making headlines now.

01:18:27.170 --> 01:18:29.022 align:center
I only did my part

01:18:29.023 --> 01:18:31.288 align:center
to support their fight
against corruption.

01:18:31.289 --> 01:18:33.687 align:center
The one who stood by me
while I took these calls...

01:18:34.476 --> 01:18:37.695 align:center
who patted my shoulder and said,
"You're doing the right thing..."

01:18:38.555 --> 01:18:40.000 align:center
was my father...

01:18:42.328 --> 01:18:45.031 align:center
former Chief Minister Varghese.

01:18:46.698 --> 01:18:47.989 align:center
My father was my mentor...

01:18:49.004 --> 01:18:50.012 align:center
my hero!

01:19:16.942 --> 01:19:19.761 align:center
A meteoric rise in Kerala politics.

01:19:19.762 --> 01:19:22.714 align:center
The second son of the late
Chief Minister K. N. Varghese,

01:19:22.715 --> 01:19:28.231 align:center
is now everywhere, across news channels
and all over social media.

01:19:28.232 --> 01:19:32.052 align:center
Among students and the youth,
John Varghese is the new sensation.

01:19:32.053 --> 01:19:36.053 align:center
His Y Talk reels have already crossed
eight million views.

01:19:39.990 --> 01:19:42.193 align:center
"Varghese sir's family is corrupt," right?

01:19:42.749 --> 01:19:44.365 align:center
That's what everyone kept shouting!

01:19:45.218 --> 01:19:47.631 align:center
But that political witch-hunt is over now.

01:19:48.022 --> 01:19:49.490 align:center
What remains is pure numbers.

01:19:50.538 --> 01:19:54.193 align:center
Ramakrishnan sir will talk on our behalf.

01:20:07.588 --> 01:20:10.291 align:center
If you try to sideline me
at this crucial moment,

01:20:10.292 --> 01:20:11.705 align:center
I won't let it slide, sir.

01:20:11.706 --> 01:20:12.752 align:center
No chance!

01:20:12.753 --> 01:20:15.103 align:center
Tobin, act your age.

01:20:15.595 --> 01:20:17.297 align:center
John has become a symbol now.

01:20:17.585 --> 01:20:21.015 align:center
Both mainstream and social media
are celebrating him.

01:20:21.140 --> 01:20:24.860 align:center
The latest poster boy
of a smear campaign and witch-hunt.

01:20:25.281 --> 01:20:27.531 align:center
He even has that living martyr's glory now!

01:20:27.922 --> 01:20:30.195 align:center
We need to capitalise on that.

01:20:32.156 --> 01:20:34.444 align:center
What political experience does he have?

01:20:37.430 --> 01:20:39.829 align:center
We once made someone
with zero political experience,

01:20:39.830 --> 01:20:41.954 align:center
someone who was literally
flying in the sky,

01:20:41.955 --> 01:20:43.571 align:center
our Prime Minister.

01:20:44.814 --> 01:20:48.134 align:center
At 32, I was State President.

01:20:48.376 --> 01:20:50.164 align:center
At 36, I became Chief Minister.

01:20:50.398 --> 01:20:52.517 align:center
John is around that age now.

01:20:53.268 --> 01:20:56.170 align:center
Eighteen MLAs still raise their hands
when I ask them to.

01:20:56.171 --> 01:20:57.320 align:center
Don't forget that.

01:20:57.321 --> 01:20:58.603 align:center
Enough, Tobin.

01:20:58.604 --> 01:21:00.033 align:center
I've spoken to everyone.

01:21:00.205 --> 01:21:02.517 align:center
Our group stands firmly with John now.

01:21:03.892 --> 01:21:05.907 align:center
If he takes charge wholeheartedly,

01:21:06.041 --> 01:21:08.547 align:center
the youth across the state
will rally behind him.

01:21:08.548 --> 01:21:09.978 align:center
Please cooperate, Tobin.

01:21:10.650 --> 01:21:11.658 align:center
Sir...

01:21:12.438 --> 01:21:13.915 align:center
you played me too, didn't you?

01:21:14.368 --> 01:21:16.587 align:center
In politics, loyalties aren't to people.

01:21:16.588 --> 01:21:18.329 align:center
They're to circumstances.

01:21:18.486 --> 01:21:20.104 align:center
The one who taught me that...

01:21:20.105 --> 01:21:21.603 align:center
was Varghese sir.

01:21:24.166 --> 01:21:25.829 align:center
John, won't you say something?

01:21:26.705 --> 01:21:30.643 align:center
How many times have you told dad
you'd never enter politics?

01:21:32.252 --> 01:21:34.393 align:center
This shouldn't become a grudge
between us, John.

01:21:34.986 --> 01:21:35.994 align:center
- Ichayan--
- Tobin!

01:21:36.547 --> 01:21:37.555 align:center
It won't be John,

01:21:37.822 --> 01:21:39.173 align:center
I will speak.

01:21:40.197 --> 01:21:41.712 align:center
John will accept the responsibility

01:21:42.212 --> 01:21:43.649 align:center
the Party has entrusted him with.

01:21:51.469 --> 01:21:53.931 align:center
Mom, let me speak.

01:21:54.135 --> 01:21:55.143 align:center
Ichayan--

01:21:55.838 --> 01:21:57.931 align:center
I told you to stay quiet.

01:21:58.580 --> 01:21:59.588 align:center
There will be

01:21:59.900 --> 01:22:01.588 align:center
no more discussion on this, John.

01:22:13.580 --> 01:22:15.400 align:center
So... the swearing-in is tomorrow!

01:22:51.885 --> 01:22:52.893 align:center
Rosa...

01:22:53.088 --> 01:22:54.096 align:center
Hey...

01:22:54.924 --> 01:22:56.369 align:center
So, the decision's been made?

01:22:59.032 --> 01:23:01.267 align:center
I was trapped in that strange situation.

01:23:05.111 --> 01:23:07.314 align:center
I understand the pressure you're under.

01:23:07.884 --> 01:23:10.845 align:center
I also know your state of mind
since Dad passed away.

01:23:12.064 --> 01:23:14.681 align:center
John, I too have a father.

01:23:15.057 --> 01:23:16.377 align:center
He's still alive.

01:23:16.635 --> 01:23:18.627 align:center
I have to face him.

01:23:19.213 --> 01:23:22.174 align:center
When we decided to live together,
there was one condition.

01:23:22.603 --> 01:23:24.032 align:center
Just one!

01:23:24.510 --> 01:23:27.072 align:center
That neither of us
would enter active politics.

01:23:28.103 --> 01:23:30.728 align:center
John, what's your decision now?

01:23:31.752 --> 01:23:34.399 align:center
There are politics and values
that we both believe in, John.

01:23:34.400 --> 01:23:35.447 align:center
I know.

01:23:35.743 --> 01:23:38.329 align:center
But we never expected things
to turn out like this.

01:23:38.900 --> 01:23:39.978 align:center
Right now,

01:23:40.189 --> 01:23:42.471 align:center
I can't say no to Mum.

01:23:43.010 --> 01:23:44.447 align:center
Leave that, John.

01:23:45.471 --> 01:23:47.002 align:center
You and I have come this far

01:23:47.003 --> 01:23:49.369 align:center
by saying no to our parents
when it mattered.

01:23:51.143 --> 01:23:52.564 align:center
I won't be by your side

01:23:52.565 --> 01:23:55.858 align:center
for the swearing-in
or the Raj Bhavan tea party.

01:23:58.220 --> 01:23:59.282 align:center
I don't know why...

01:23:59.283 --> 01:24:01.862 align:center
but I see your father in your eyes now.

01:24:19.557 --> 01:24:21.479 align:center
Elizabeth, that's Sukesh Pandey.

01:24:21.861 --> 01:24:24.228 align:center
He broke the story against John.

01:24:24.229 --> 01:24:25.269 align:center
Oh!

01:24:25.270 --> 01:24:26.573 align:center

will destroy my credibility?

01:27:00.758 --> 01:27:01.843 align:center
I know.

01:27:01.844 --> 01:27:03.593 align:center
You're the only one who can help me.

A fake scandal to build a clean her?

01:27:06.047 --> 01:27:07.311 align:center

01:27:07.312 --> 01:27:08.320 align:center

01:27:11.780 --> 01:27:12.788 align:center
Thank you so much.

01:27:15.817 --> 01:27:17.575 align:center
You said it was urgent.

01:27:17.676 --> 01:27:20.003 align:center
Sukesh is about to break a story

01:27:20.394 --> 01:27:22.886 align:center

I was with my father when he visited
your home before the wedding.

I hope your daughter
and son-in-law are doing well?

Yes.

Sir.

01:28:58.932 --> 01:28:59.939 align:center
Don't call me sir.

01:29:00.352 --> 01:29:01.554 align:center
Call me as you did before.

01:30:19.004 --> 01:30:20.084 align:center
Greetings to everyone.

01:30:20.825 --> 01:30:23.513 align:center
I have no previous experience
in politics or governance.

01:30:23.951 --> 01:30:27.758 align:center
I will need all your guidance and advice.

01:30:28.213 --> 01:30:31.778 align:center
CM! None of the earlier Chief Ministers
ever wore black.

01:30:32.133 --> 01:30:33.518 align:center
Why did you decide to wear it?

01:30:34.193 --> 01:30:35.498 align:center
What's wrong with black?

01:30:36.274 --> 01:30:38.388 align:center
Black carries many meanings.

01:30:39.401 --> 01:30:40.692 align:center
You'll understand it in time.

01:30:40.693 --> 01:30:42.714 align:center
CM, was MP Tobin Varghese
pushed aside completely?

01:30:42.715 --> 01:30:44.907 align:center
What will be your first steps
as Chief Minister?

01:30:44.908 --> 01:30:48.507 align:center
Since you've all got enough visuals,
could you please leave?

01:30:48.753 --> 01:30:50.599 align:center
Please leave the room.

01:30:52.480 --> 01:30:54.340 align:center
Everybody, please exit the room.

01:30:54.524 --> 01:30:55.571 align:center
Please.

01:30:57.926 --> 01:31:00.320 align:center
Chief Secretary and DG, please stay.

01:31:01.700 --> 01:31:03.413 align:center
Please remain seated, Ramakrishnan sir.

01:31:06.480 --> 01:31:08.904 align:center
John, you shouldn't announce
in front of the media

01:31:08.905 --> 01:31:11.874 align:center
that you have no prior experience
in politics and governance.

01:31:11.993 --> 01:31:13.327 align:center
It makes us look weak.

01:31:14.139 --> 01:31:15.272 align:center
But isn't it true, sir?

01:31:15.366 --> 01:31:17.641 align:center
John, not every truth
should be said out loud.

01:31:19.085 --> 01:31:20.179 align:center
Pass me that file.

01:31:23.946 --> 01:31:26.487 align:center
These are the profiles of four people.

01:31:26.680 --> 01:31:28.059 align:center
Advisors to the CM.

01:31:28.400 --> 01:31:30.106 align:center
Appoint them today itself.

01:31:33.986 --> 01:31:34.993 align:center
Abdul Khader...

01:31:35.253 --> 01:31:36.949 align:center
He's the head of our party channel.

01:31:37.460 --> 01:31:39.697 align:center
He can serve as the CM's media advisor.

01:31:40.106 --> 01:31:41.290 align:center
Then Jacob Cherian,

01:31:41.639 --> 01:31:43.686 align:center
ex-deputy director of the IMF,

01:31:43.819 --> 01:31:46.539 align:center
is best suited to be the financial advisor.

01:31:46.846 --> 01:31:48.751 align:center
Next, former DGP Sreevalsan

01:31:48.752 --> 01:31:50.176 align:center
can handle the Home Ministry.

01:31:55.086 --> 01:31:57.288 align:center
I don't need them to advise and correct me

01:31:57.612 --> 01:31:59.100 align:center
during my rule, sir.

01:32:13.378 --> 01:32:15.192 align:center
I need just one person.

01:32:19.966 --> 01:32:21.193 align:center
Sir...

01:32:21.296 --> 01:32:23.513 align:center
I only need you by my side...

01:32:29.179 --> 01:32:30.394 align:center
- Francis sir.
- Yes, sir.

01:32:30.912 --> 01:32:33.102 align:center
- You should do me a favour.
- Yes, sir.

01:32:33.193 --> 01:32:34.526 align:center
This is the first decision

01:32:35.052 --> 01:32:36.665 align:center
I'm going to make from this chair.

01:32:36.666 --> 01:32:39.679 align:center
JUSTICE TO ANIRUDHAN
WHO DIED IN JUDICIAL CUSTODY

01:32:43.106 --> 01:32:45.916 align:center
The government will take responsibility
of these children's education.

01:32:46.130 --> 01:32:48.929 align:center
I have instructed the
Department of Public Administration

01:32:49.509 --> 01:32:54.377 align:center
to check vacancies suitable to
Mrs Santha's qualifications.

01:32:55.440 --> 01:32:57.489 align:center
Heard there is also a plan to pay

01:32:57.613 --> 01:33:00.167 align:center
the welfare pension arrears
and increase pensions?

01:33:00.451 --> 01:33:01.512 align:center
There is.

01:33:01.513 --> 01:33:02.365 align:center
Let's see.

01:33:02.366 --> 01:33:04.764 align:center
That and this job promise...
when you read it all together,

01:33:04.765 --> 01:33:06.958 align:center
isn't it really about
building an image for yourself?

01:33:07.433 --> 01:33:09.186 align:center
If I do nothing, I'm seen as incapable.

01:33:09.526 --> 01:33:11.426 align:center
If I do something,
it's called image-building.

01:33:13.338 --> 01:33:15.352 align:center
Also, these images you talk about...

01:33:15.353 --> 01:33:16.578 align:center
Who builds them?

01:33:17.162 --> 01:33:18.667 align:center
Idols are built and destroyed

01:33:19.006 --> 01:33:21.512 align:center
based on market demands.

01:33:22.567 --> 01:33:23.820 align:center
And you're the ones who do it!

01:33:24.742 --> 01:33:26.468 align:center
There are no individuals in politics,

01:33:26.653 --> 01:33:28.039 align:center
only images.

01:33:28.846 --> 01:33:29.996 align:center
This is not my line...

01:33:30.552 --> 01:33:31.559 align:center
It was my father's.

01:33:35.170 --> 01:33:37.427 align:center
Political Kerala is now watching
closely to see

01:33:37.428 --> 01:33:39.432 align:center
whether KN Varghese's successor,
John Varghese,

01:33:39.433 --> 01:33:41.151 align:center
has the same ability and political acumen

01:33:41.152 --> 01:33:43.565 align:center
to coordinate and lead the
communal organisations in the state.

01:33:43.566 --> 01:33:46.379 align:center
<i>♪ Eyes on the dawg, he a master of legacy ♪</i>

01:33:46.380 --> 01:33:49.441 align:center

01:34:24.824 --> 01:34:25.857 align:center
Greetings, sir.

01:34:25.858 --> 01:34:26.937 align:center
Greetings! Sit down.

01:34:29.432 --> 01:34:32.371 align:center
Good that you gave Santha a job.
She had been protesting for a while.

01:34:32.773 --> 01:34:34.647 align:center
I had mentioned it to
Varghese sir many times,

01:34:34.648 --> 01:34:35.822 align:center
but he never listened.

01:34:36.253 --> 01:34:38.714 align:center
John, you've realised his stand was wrong.

01:34:38.715 --> 01:34:39.771 align:center
That's good.

01:34:39.772 --> 01:34:42.388 align:center
Whatever wrongs we can undo,
we should. Right, sir?

01:34:42.604 --> 01:34:44.258 align:center
In fact, Ramakrishnan sir and I are here

01:34:44.259 --> 01:34:46.345 align:center
to discuss a few corrective steps.

01:34:46.346 --> 01:34:47.377 align:center
What is it, CM?

01:34:47.378 --> 01:34:49.429 align:center
Do you have a cabinet
reorganisation in mind?

01:34:50.051 --> 01:34:52.833 align:center
I say this because of your
lack of experience, CM.

01:34:53.005 --> 01:34:55.534 align:center
Cabinet formation is a web of equations.

01:34:55.779 --> 01:34:59.246 align:center
Caste, religion,
alliances with powerful interests.

01:34:59.645 --> 01:35:02.749 align:center
Our positions are determined
by these very dynamics.

01:35:03.651 --> 01:35:06.398 align:center
So, merit and efficiency
are not the determining factors?

01:35:07.861 --> 01:35:08.892 align:center
Was that sarcasm?

01:35:08.893 --> 01:35:09.932 align:center
No...

01:35:09.933 --> 01:35:11.079 align:center
it's an observation.

01:35:11.459 --> 01:35:14.912 align:center
We would like to talk
only with the President.

01:35:18.832 --> 01:35:19.839 align:center
Alright.

01:35:21.346 --> 01:35:22.526 align:center
Go on.

01:35:30.906 --> 01:35:33.301 align:center
You want to push three veterans out
and bring in novices,

01:35:33.302 --> 01:35:35.358 align:center
that can't happen.

01:35:36.106 --> 01:35:38.253 align:center
Also, if we go by this list,

01:35:38.339 --> 01:35:40.980 align:center
all the equations Konniyoor
spoke of earlier will go for a toss.

01:35:41.786 --> 01:35:45.184 align:center
I still have to pass through
Changanassery and Alappuzha.

01:35:45.485 --> 01:35:47.038 align:center
The people on my list are

01:35:47.039 --> 01:35:48.746 align:center
talented and capable youngsters.

01:35:49.887 --> 01:35:51.538 align:center
Including them in the Cabinet

01:35:51.679 --> 01:35:53.011 align:center
will have a positive impact.

01:35:53.511 --> 01:35:56.958 align:center
I'm hoping to do this
with your consent as well.

01:36:00.426 --> 01:36:01.517 align:center
Sir, you know,

01:36:01.732 --> 01:36:03.973 align:center
the people of Kerala
are like Naranathu Branthan.

01:36:04.688 --> 01:36:07.212 align:center
Every five years,
they shift from one side to the other...

01:36:07.213 --> 01:36:08.724 align:center
choosing the right one time

01:36:09.140 --> 01:36:12.152 align:center
and after five years,
swinging back to the left.

01:36:12.750 --> 01:36:14.341 align:center
If you think along that logic,

01:36:14.446 --> 01:36:16.263 align:center
we'll fail in the coming elections.

01:36:16.741 --> 01:36:19.626 align:center
Sir, then you can place all the blame
for failure on me,

01:36:19.786 --> 01:36:21.334 align:center
the one in charge of this final term.

01:36:24.918 --> 01:36:26.058 align:center
On the contrary,

01:36:26.357 --> 01:36:28.072 align:center
if my experiment succeeds,

01:36:28.360 --> 01:36:29.806 align:center
the public will think otherwise

01:36:29.959 --> 01:36:31.299 align:center
and history will change.

01:36:31.693 --> 01:36:32.904 align:center
We'll win again.

01:36:35.185 --> 01:36:37.300 align:center
And you still stand to gain.

01:36:41.461 --> 01:36:43.591 align:center
Sir, you'll be leading
the upcoming election.

01:36:44.504 --> 01:36:46.662 align:center
Kerala's next CM.

01:36:48.652 --> 01:36:51.159 align:center
There will be no objection
from my father's group.

01:36:52.832 --> 01:36:54.349 align:center
That's my word.

01:36:56.639 --> 01:36:59.818 align:center
Sir, think of this
as a political balancing.

01:37:00.893 --> 01:37:02.101 align:center
Varghese sir has gone.

01:37:02.333 --> 01:37:03.772 align:center
You may lead, Purushothaman.

01:37:03.773 --> 01:37:04.931 align:center
There's no dispute.

01:37:04.932 --> 01:37:06.869 align:center
We will need to discuss
regarding accommodations

01:37:06.870 --> 01:37:08.392 align:center
and portfolio distribution.

01:37:09.899 --> 01:37:12.426 align:center
Sir, you need not worry about me.

01:37:12.919 --> 01:37:14.967 align:center
I won't be in this scene
in the next election.

01:37:15.513 --> 01:37:17.541 align:center
I am just a stop-gap...

01:37:17.865 --> 01:37:18.872 align:center
arrangement.

01:37:21.926 --> 01:37:23.765 align:center
I didn't expect the president to give in.

01:37:23.878 --> 01:37:25.079 align:center
That's quite a change.

01:37:25.575 --> 01:37:27.012 align:center
This isn't about change, sir.

01:37:27.486 --> 01:37:30.179 align:center
The ministers have to back
the decisions I make.

01:37:31.149 --> 01:37:34.839 align:center
<i>♪ Come, come! The ultimate hero! ♪</i>

01:37:34.840 --> 01:37:37.785 align:center

01:37:44.066 --> 01:37:46.342 align:center
<i>after securing approval

01:37:46.343 --> 01:37:47.726 align:center
Kerala politics is now witnessing

01:37:47.727 --> 01:37:49.280 align:center
the rise of another powerful leader.

01:37:49.281 --> 01:37:52.084 align:center

- Sir.
- Come in.

01:38:34.350 --> 01:38:35.357 align:center
Yes, sir.

01:38:36.599 --> 01:38:38.718 align:center
Nisha Chandrakumar is a single mother.

01:38:38.892 --> 01:38:41.283 align:center
She relocated to Kerala two years ago.

01:38:41.423 --> 01:38:43.197 align:center
Till then she was living in Mumbai.

01:38:43.198 --> 01:38:45.174 align:center
After submitting his resignation
at Raj Bhavan,

01:38:45.553 --> 01:38:47.022 align:center
it was around 8 PM

01:38:47.186 --> 01:38:48.907 align:center
that Varghese sir instructed the DG

01:38:49.159 --> 01:38:51.303 align:center
to register the crime and file an FIR.

01:38:51.423 --> 01:38:52.999 align:center
The DG called me immediately

01:38:53.222 --> 01:38:54.848 align:center
and placed me in charge of the SIT.

01:38:55.348 --> 01:38:57.145 align:center
That same night around 9.30,

01:38:57.146 --> 01:38:58.515 align:center
I had called Nisha.

01:38:59.233 --> 01:39:02.107 align:center
I informed her that I would send
a DySp and two women officers

01:39:02.272 --> 01:39:03.956 align:center
the next day to record her statement.

01:39:04.186 --> 01:39:05.193 align:center
She said fine.

01:39:05.343 --> 01:39:06.968 align:center
Both the DG and I decided

01:39:06.969 --> 01:39:08.976 align:center
to file the FIR after her statement.

01:39:10.096 --> 01:39:11.768 align:center
My father passed away the next morning.

01:39:12.582 --> 01:39:14.155 align:center
And you didn't proceed further?

01:39:14.156 --> 01:39:15.163 align:center
That's right, sir.

01:39:16.537 --> 01:39:17.922 align:center
As per the DG's report,

01:39:18.108 --> 01:39:19.451 align:center
the day after Dad died,

01:39:19.452 --> 01:39:20.837 align:center
she left for Dubai with her child

01:39:20.838 --> 01:39:22.167 align:center
on an early morning flight.

01:39:22.563 --> 01:39:23.656 align:center
And from there to London.

01:39:23.923 --> 01:39:26.373 align:center
She has a UK visa valid for ten years.

01:39:26.490 --> 01:39:30.296 align:center
She booked her ticket to the UK at 7.40 AM.

01:39:30.900 --> 01:39:33.053 align:center
About an hour and a half after

01:39:33.283 --> 01:39:35.323 align:center
the media reported Dad's death.

01:39:36.482 --> 01:39:37.686 align:center
It was a hasty move.

01:39:38.548 --> 01:39:39.555 align:center
A panic.

01:39:40.269 --> 01:39:42.409 align:center
Maybe she feared public wrath.

01:39:43.996 --> 01:39:45.669 align:center
We reviewed Nisha's call dump.

01:39:45.869 --> 01:39:47.236 align:center
Nothing interesting.

01:39:47.469 --> 01:39:48.939 align:center
My father gave you this posting

01:39:49.030 --> 01:39:50.355 align:center
two days before his death.

01:39:50.492 --> 01:39:51.491 align:center
Yes, sir.

01:39:51.492 --> 01:39:52.922 align:center
I was totally surprised.

01:39:53.163 --> 01:39:55.499 align:center
I was not in his good books at all.

01:39:57.633 --> 01:39:59.173 align:center
Dad told Ramakrishan sir

01:39:59.174 --> 01:40:00.838 align:center
that he brought you in

01:40:00.839 --> 01:40:02.160 align:center
for some complicated job.

01:40:04.856 --> 01:40:06.024 align:center
Any idea?

01:40:06.456 --> 01:40:07.432 align:center
No, sir.

01:40:07.609 --> 01:40:08.616 align:center
No idea.

01:40:09.303 --> 01:40:11.104 align:center
Okay, madam.
Let the investigation continue.

01:40:11.262 --> 01:40:12.269 align:center
Yes, sir.

01:40:13.796 --> 01:40:14.803 align:center
Sir.

01:40:18.576 --> 01:40:19.838 align:center
Tobin and Rani

01:40:19.950 --> 01:40:22.030 align:center
took Mariyam and moved to the flat.

01:40:22.362 --> 01:40:24.775 align:center
Rosa also said
she will be back after a few days.

01:40:24.988 --> 01:40:25.995 align:center
She is at Comrade's.

01:40:27.830 --> 01:40:28.869 align:center
Okay.

01:40:57.162 --> 01:40:59.149 align:center
For now, let's not to do anything

01:40:59.373 --> 01:41:01.615 align:center
that could fuel John's animosity
towards our channel.

01:41:02.176 --> 01:41:03.182 align:center
In fact...

01:41:03.637 --> 01:41:05.339 align:center
Wherever possible, applaud him.

01:41:05.683 --> 01:41:07.536 align:center
Sir, with all due respect,

01:41:07.798 --> 01:41:08.858 align:center
the ruler,

01:41:09.051 --> 01:41:10.724 align:center
no matter how much good he does...

01:41:10.990 --> 01:41:12.542 align:center
we still need to hurl a few abuses.

01:41:12.729 --> 01:41:15.042 align:center
Even if it's not certain,
simply accuse him of corruption.

01:41:15.043 --> 01:41:16.848 align:center
Stir up some smoke.

01:41:17.122 --> 01:41:18.900 align:center
Only then will the news taste spicy.

01:41:19.002 --> 01:41:20.848 align:center
Don't you want ratings
and capture the market?

01:41:20.849 --> 01:41:23.325 align:center
If you keep smearing sweetness,
only flies will swarm around.

01:41:23.424 --> 01:41:25.214 align:center
Our BARC ratings will nosedive.

01:41:25.302 --> 01:41:26.493 align:center
When that happens,

01:41:26.609 --> 01:41:28.349 align:center
don't blame the editorial team.

01:41:28.569 --> 01:41:29.713 align:center
Give me that assurance.

01:41:30.023 --> 01:41:31.865 align:center
Don't call and lash out at us.

01:41:37.257 --> 01:41:39.422 align:center
No wonder he's our news anchor

01:41:39.423 --> 01:41:40.996 align:center
with the highest ratings.

01:41:42.509 --> 01:41:43.689 align:center
He opens his mouth...

01:41:44.209 --> 01:41:45.810 align:center
only to spew venom.

01:41:46.370 --> 01:41:47.648 align:center
Isn't that good?

01:41:49.737 --> 01:41:51.019 align:center
Purushothaman called.

01:41:51.130 --> 01:41:52.346 align:center
Tomorrow evening, 4 o'clock.

01:41:52.715 --> 01:41:53.722 align:center
It's confirmed.

01:41:54.938 --> 01:41:56.752 align:center
The chief investor should come in person.

01:41:57.141 --> 01:41:58.637 align:center
That's John's demand.

01:41:59.690 --> 01:42:01.126 align:center
This time, you'll have to come.

01:42:44.856 --> 01:42:45.862 align:center
Ravi Madhavan.

01:42:46.170 --> 01:42:47.215 align:center
I know.

01:42:47.216 --> 01:42:48.639 align:center
Ishaan Tejas.

01:42:48.863 --> 01:42:51.197 align:center
He's India's most renowned
business advisor.

01:42:51.417 --> 01:42:52.497 align:center
The corporate guru.

01:42:53.577 --> 01:42:54.617 align:center
My condolences.

01:42:55.163 --> 01:42:56.170 align:center
Please sit.

01:43:00.450 --> 01:43:03.067 align:center
When that story about Varghese sir

01:43:03.350 --> 01:43:04.734 align:center
aired on my channel that day,

01:43:05.563 --> 01:43:06.628 align:center
I never imagined

01:43:06.877 --> 01:43:09.211 align:center
such a tragedy would follow the next day.

01:43:09.950 --> 01:43:11.518 align:center
I still feel quite guilty, CM.

01:43:13.350 --> 01:43:16.255 align:center
Guilt has no place in journalism.

01:43:17.463 --> 01:43:18.968 align:center
I didn't take it personally.

01:43:19.883 --> 01:43:21.488 align:center
I'm sure my father didn't either.

01:43:22.083 --> 01:43:23.327 align:center
Didn't I tell you?

01:43:23.770 --> 01:43:25.663 align:center
John is one hundred percent professional.

01:43:26.197 --> 01:43:29.123 align:center
He runs this government like a CEO.

01:43:31.317 --> 01:43:32.640 align:center
Let's come to the matter.

01:43:33.943 --> 01:43:35.165 align:center
Ishaan, please.

01:43:35.343 --> 01:43:36.350 align:center
Sure.

01:43:36.630 --> 01:43:38.423 align:center
This is a proposal that could

01:43:38.424 --> 01:43:40.958 align:center
revolutionise our IT sector.

01:43:43.917 --> 01:43:45.468 align:center
It's a plan that ensures

01:43:45.957 --> 01:43:47.163 align:center
free internet access

01:43:47.303 --> 01:43:48.923 align:center
for everyone in Kerala,

01:43:49.303 --> 01:43:51.209 align:center
every household,

01:43:51.643 --> 01:43:53.269 align:center
educational institution, government

01:43:53.723 --> 01:43:55.294 align:center
and semi-government body,

01:43:55.490 --> 01:43:57.654 align:center
without compromise.

01:44:00.830 --> 01:44:02.842 align:center
So far, four state governments in India

01:44:02.843 --> 01:44:04.696 align:center
have agreed in principle to this project.

01:44:05.389 --> 01:44:07.629 align:center
We're planning to announce it at the

01:44:07.630 --> 01:44:09.181 align:center
upcoming Trivandrum IT conclave

01:44:09.182 --> 01:44:10.444 align:center
which is a few days away.

01:44:11.177 --> 01:44:12.581 align:center
That's your brain child, right, CM?

01:44:14.543 --> 01:44:16.574 align:center
Our dream is a future where internet access

01:44:16.575 --> 01:44:18.875 align:center
becomes a fundamental right.

01:44:20.428 --> 01:44:22.008 align:center
And we want that dream

01:44:22.389 --> 01:44:23.951 align:center
to begin in Kerala.

01:44:24.536 --> 01:44:27.317 align:center
And that's Mr Ravi Madhavan's
decision and his wish.

01:44:30.382 --> 01:44:31.412 align:center
CM...

01:44:31.413 --> 01:44:33.249 align:center
This is your chance to change the narrative

01:44:33.250 --> 01:44:35.412 align:center
about the many investment opportunities

01:44:35.866 --> 01:44:37.250 align:center
the state has lost over the years.

01:44:48.143 --> 01:44:49.802 align:center
CM, we have a headline

01:44:49.803 --> 01:44:51.082 align:center
for this vision

01:44:51.296 --> 01:44:52.841 align:center
that will dominate India.

01:44:53.328 --> 01:44:54.534 align:center
The first page of this folder

01:44:55.097 --> 01:44:56.362 align:center
holds that headline.

01:45:10.235 --> 01:45:11.448 align:center
Two days back

01:45:11.449 --> 01:45:13.536 align:center
they met me in Mumbai

01:45:13.537 --> 01:45:14.678 align:center
and gave me this proposal.

01:45:15.330 --> 01:45:17.382 align:center
See, this person in the churidar

01:45:17.383 --> 01:45:18.456 align:center
leads this project.

01:45:18.677 --> 01:45:20.655 align:center
His name's a bit complicated.

01:45:20.656 --> 01:45:21.784 align:center
Ishaan Tejas.

01:45:22.656 --> 01:45:25.342 align:center
His real name is Mathukutty K Avaran.

01:45:25.723 --> 01:45:27.121 align:center
He is from Teekoy.

01:45:27.122 --> 01:45:28.128 align:center
A complete fraud.

01:45:28.303 --> 01:45:30.731 align:center
Calls from influential people followed.

01:45:31.637 --> 01:45:33.723 align:center
Since it's related to the internet,

01:45:33.957 --> 01:45:35.527 align:center
I thought I'd discuss it with you.

01:45:36.326 --> 01:45:37.794 align:center
Now tell me, is this any good?

01:45:37.795 --> 01:45:39.188 align:center
Dad, look at this.

01:45:39.562 --> 01:45:41.149 align:center
"One Nation, One Information".

01:45:41.830 --> 01:45:44.263 align:center
Could there be a more fascist tagline?

01:45:46.026 --> 01:45:48.330 align:center
Today, the most powerful thing

01:45:48.599 --> 01:45:50.336 align:center
in the world isn't oil, currency,

01:45:50.337 --> 01:45:51.590 align:center
gold or atomic energy.

01:45:51.850 --> 01:45:53.023 align:center
It's data.

01:45:53.024 --> 01:45:54.073 align:center
Information.

01:45:54.305 --> 01:45:55.907 align:center
That is the new-age capital.

01:45:56.784 --> 01:45:58.676 align:center
This is an attempt by this
fraud corporate guru

01:45:58.836 --> 01:46:00.431 align:center
to monopolise it.

01:46:01.074 --> 01:46:02.902 align:center
A major corporation is pulling the strings,

01:46:03.133 --> 01:46:05.569 align:center
using Ishaan Tejas as the front.

01:46:07.116 --> 01:46:09.299 align:center
The question is, who's the corporate giant

01:46:09.582 --> 01:46:10.845 align:center
funding Mathukutty?

01:46:16.241 --> 01:46:17.547 align:center
Mr Ravi Madhavan,

01:46:17.707 --> 01:46:19.221 align:center
are you the one funding this project?

01:46:19.437 --> 01:46:20.443 align:center
To be exact,

01:46:20.970 --> 01:46:22.205 align:center
it is a consortium,

01:46:23.124 --> 01:46:24.197 align:center
headed by RM,

01:46:24.510 --> 01:46:26.650 align:center
Ravi Madhavan Group of Companies.

01:46:30.203 --> 01:46:31.210 align:center
Thank you.

01:46:31.818 --> 01:46:33.048 align:center
Let me study this.

01:46:33.049 --> 01:46:35.220 align:center
You're a proven technocrat yourself, CM.

01:46:35.310 --> 01:46:36.543 align:center
So, you'll understand

01:46:36.544 --> 01:46:38.406 align:center
its possibilities better than anyone.

01:46:42.403 --> 01:46:43.482 align:center
Of course.

01:46:43.483 --> 01:46:44.660 align:center
All possibilities.

01:46:48.957 --> 01:46:49.987 align:center
So, CM...

01:46:49.988 --> 01:46:51.707 align:center
please take a good look at it.

01:46:52.217 --> 01:46:54.657 align:center
And give me a call with the happy news.

01:46:55.263 --> 01:46:56.190 align:center
Alright.

01:46:56.191 --> 01:46:57.953 align:center
Alright then, we're off.

01:46:59.883 --> 01:47:00.968 align:center
We shall take your leave.

01:47:01.183 --> 01:47:02.482 align:center
May good things happen.

01:47:03.270 --> 01:47:04.277 align:center
Yes...

01:47:04.870 --> 01:47:07.342 align:center
May good things happen.

01:47:34.580 --> 01:47:36.177 align:center
<i>Corporates now control the world</i>

01:47:36.178 --> 01:47:38.303 align:center
through cyber manipulation.

01:47:39.005 --> 01:47:40.565 align:center
Dad, have you heard of the

01:47:40.693 --> 01:47:43.202 align:center
2018 Cambridge Analytica scam?

01:47:43.912 --> 01:47:45.705 align:center
It was a coup that turned

01:47:45.943 --> 01:47:48.026 align:center
every social media like into a vote.

01:47:48.493 --> 01:47:50.817 align:center
That's what happened
in the recent election in Kenya.

01:47:51.178 --> 01:47:53.173 align:center
If algorithms decide issues

01:47:53.351 --> 01:47:55.647 align:center
and shape public opinion,

01:47:55.740 --> 01:47:57.264 align:center
that is the end of the democracy.

01:47:57.847 --> 01:47:59.853 align:center
Between 2022 and 2024,

01:47:59.997 --> 01:48:01.441 align:center
global tech giants

01:48:01.442 --> 01:48:03.506 align:center
began setting up data centres here.

01:48:03.597 --> 01:48:05.414 align:center
Many believe that was the first step

01:48:05.415 --> 01:48:07.338 align:center
towards taking control of the country.

01:48:07.670 --> 01:48:09.417 align:center
Dad, if you sign a deal like this,

01:48:09.671 --> 01:48:11.848 align:center
these corporate agencies can freeze

01:48:11.849 --> 01:48:13.401 align:center
our networks whenever they want.

01:48:13.977 --> 01:48:15.439 align:center
Kerala will come to a standstill.

01:48:15.603 --> 01:48:18.179 align:center
Dad, freedom isn't about connectivity.

01:48:18.356 --> 01:48:20.167 align:center
It's about having the right to disconnect.

01:48:20.462 --> 01:48:21.536 align:center
The phone in our hands

01:48:21.537 --> 01:48:23.990 align:center
and turn into our greatest enemy
and impersonator.

01:48:24.575 --> 01:48:26.070 align:center
Politics and human life

01:48:26.227 --> 01:48:27.534 align:center
will become programmed.

01:48:28.153 --> 01:48:31.543 align:center
By letting their fibre-optic cables
and internet

01:48:31.544 --> 01:48:33.819 align:center
reach every home, school, college,

01:48:34.146 --> 01:48:36.002 align:center
hospital and government office...

01:48:36.003 --> 01:48:38.170 align:center
this is what will happen.

01:48:38.404 --> 01:48:41.498 align:center
Data theft, profiling and AI infiltration.

01:48:41.943 --> 01:48:43.468 align:center
What our children should learn,

01:48:43.469 --> 01:48:44.493 align:center
what we should eat,

01:48:44.494 --> 01:48:45.842 align:center
what medicine we should take,

01:48:45.958 --> 01:48:48.437 align:center
what we should think
and who we should vote for...

01:48:48.741 --> 01:48:50.536 align:center
All of this
will be decided by corporations.

01:48:54.091 --> 01:48:55.097 align:center
Dad...

01:48:55.741 --> 01:48:57.810 align:center
When various changes
happen everywhere else,

01:48:58.288 --> 01:49:00.582 align:center
some things remain the same in Kerala...

01:49:00.814 --> 01:49:02.253 align:center
In every crisis,

01:49:02.254 --> 01:49:05.733 align:center
we showed the world what Kerala truly is.

01:49:06.122 --> 01:49:08.298 align:center
What the real Kerala story is.

01:49:10.066 --> 01:49:12.890 align:center
This is an attempt to
rewrite that Kerala model.

01:49:14.852 --> 01:49:17.407 align:center
Hey, I'm sharing something.
Just take a look.

01:49:17.744 --> 01:49:20.423 align:center
Nisha Chandrakumar
and her daughter, Aswini Chandrakumar.

01:49:20.424 --> 01:49:22.643 align:center
They landed at Heathrow Airport
on 23rd October.

01:49:22.907 --> 01:49:24.891 align:center
Flight number EK0008.

01:49:25.017 --> 01:49:26.993 align:center
Find her.
Spare no expense.

01:49:27.375 --> 01:49:28.868 align:center
Give me a day.

01:49:28.869 --> 01:49:30.673 align:center
BIRGANJ, NEPAL

01:50:23.671 --> 01:50:25.585 align:center
Can I please speak to him once?

01:50:26.977 --> 01:50:28.070 align:center
Please.

01:50:29.211 --> 01:50:30.844 align:center
She's really unwell.

01:50:49.448 --> 01:50:52.636 align:center
Madam, this is the autopsy report
of IT Secretary Cherian sir.

01:50:52.637 --> 01:50:54.747 align:center
It lists cardiac death.

01:50:54.748 --> 01:50:57.856 align:center
But the alkaloid levels
in his blood are abnormal.

01:50:58.247 --> 01:50:59.958 align:center
Alkaloids were present
in the medicines

01:50:59.959 --> 01:51:02.013 align:center
Cherian sir was taking
for his heart condition.

01:51:02.177 --> 01:51:04.395 align:center
But after expert consultation,

01:51:04.606 --> 01:51:08.215 align:center
the report says this variation
is unnatural, madam.

01:51:08.302 --> 01:51:09.340 align:center
Poisoning?

01:51:09.341 --> 01:51:10.349 align:center
Possible, madam.

01:51:16.474 --> 01:51:17.520 align:center
Madam?

01:51:17.521 --> 01:51:18.942 align:center
Sir, there have been developments.

01:51:19.177 --> 01:51:20.622 align:center
Sir, your suspicion was right.

01:51:20.623 --> 01:51:22.840 align:center
Varghese sir was planning
to assign me a case.

01:51:22.841 --> 01:51:27.147 align:center
Maybe that's why I was transferred
the very day Cherian sir died.

01:51:27.148 --> 01:51:28.179 align:center
And he was right.

01:51:28.180 --> 01:51:31.581 align:center
Since Cherian sir died before reaching
the hospital, an autopsy was conducted.

01:51:31.582 --> 01:51:35.130 align:center
The forensic report found
a cardiac glycoside called Digitalis.

01:51:35.480 --> 01:51:37.723 align:center
It can cause a cardiac failure quickly.

01:51:37.724 --> 01:51:40.264 align:center
Sir, by the way,
the person who filmed Nisha

01:51:40.265 --> 01:51:42.262 align:center
entering the CM's official residence,

01:51:42.263 --> 01:51:43.926 align:center
her driver Vinod,

01:51:43.927 --> 01:51:46.021 align:center
died in an accident,

01:51:46.356 --> 01:51:50.494 align:center
at 3:35 p.m., the same day
the allegations against Varghese sir broke.

01:52:00.777 --> 01:52:01.973 align:center
Madam, let's sit there.

01:52:01.974 --> 01:52:03.050 align:center
Sir.

01:52:03.310 --> 01:52:04.933 align:center
My father had assigned Cherian sir

01:52:04.934 --> 01:52:07.465 align:center
to follow up on the project
Ishaan Tejas submitted.

01:52:07.849 --> 01:52:10.021 align:center
They made Cherian sir
a massive offer.

01:52:10.497 --> 01:52:12.122 align:center
Even after Dad froze the project,

01:52:12.123 --> 01:52:15.089 align:center
Cherian sir wrote to the CM
eight times supporting it.

01:52:15.255 --> 01:52:16.262 align:center
I've seen the files.

01:52:19.083 --> 01:52:22.576 align:center
There couldn't be any loose ends
in their plan to trap my father.

01:52:23.520 --> 01:52:25.425 align:center
So they eliminated Cherian sir.

01:52:26.708 --> 01:52:28.433 align:center
Driver Vinod was another loose end.

01:52:28.724 --> 01:52:29.762 align:center
Understood, sir.

01:52:29.763 --> 01:52:31.136 align:center
So, one murder...

01:52:34.095 --> 01:52:35.362 align:center
one accident...

01:52:37.245 --> 01:52:38.728 align:center
one disappearance...

01:52:40.034 --> 01:52:41.555 align:center
and the kingpin is...

01:52:42.057 --> 01:52:43.644 align:center
Ravi Madhavan.

01:52:55.172 --> 01:52:56.436 align:center
He's too big, sir.

01:52:56.548 --> 01:52:59.881 align:center
You know he owns
three major media houses.

01:53:00.626 --> 01:53:04.155 align:center
Plus seaports, airports,
mining, oil, and gas.

01:53:04.587 --> 01:53:07.600 align:center
When we target someone
who controls core sectors...

01:53:07.601 --> 01:53:08.866 align:center
I know, madam.

01:53:09.126 --> 01:53:10.717 align:center
He's a tough target.

01:53:10.969 --> 01:53:13.133 align:center
Or, he must be exposed.

01:53:13.508 --> 01:53:14.850 align:center
But I don't know how.

01:53:42.601 --> 01:53:44.000 align:center
You look excited.

01:53:44.001 --> 01:53:45.008 align:center
Yes.

01:53:45.423 --> 01:53:47.842 align:center
Look. I got an email from the CM's office.

01:53:48.430 --> 01:53:51.485 align:center
They've responded
very positively to our proposal.

01:53:52.266 --> 01:53:54.795 align:center
He's asked me to follow up
with the IT Secretary.

01:53:58.462 --> 01:54:00.671 align:center
This is the guest list
from the party

01:54:00.672 --> 01:54:03.562 align:center
held when John Varghese's startup
was acquired.

01:54:04.852 --> 01:54:07.258 align:center
Look at the names I've highlighted.

01:54:14.016 --> 01:54:15.024 align:center
Sukesh Pande...

01:54:16.321 --> 01:54:19.357 align:center
Isn't his portal the one
that broke John's FEMA case?

01:54:19.358 --> 01:54:20.388 align:center
Yes.

01:54:20.389 --> 01:54:21.920 align:center
And the second name, Poonam Mattal.

01:54:21.921 --> 01:54:24.826 align:center
The Central Home Minister's niece,
you know her.

01:54:25.687 --> 01:54:28.593 align:center
No one influences him
more than her.

01:54:29.140 --> 01:54:30.966 align:center
Our team was tracking both.

01:54:32.249 --> 01:54:34.363 align:center
Sukesh Pande, a man who never slips,

01:54:34.364 --> 01:54:36.575 align:center
suddenly publishes a fake story.

01:54:36.929 --> 01:54:38.723 align:center
And Poonam shows up right there.

01:54:39.421 --> 01:54:41.685 align:center
A staged Central Agency raid

01:54:41.686 --> 01:54:44.529 align:center
at the Kerala CM's residence.

01:54:45.843 --> 01:54:47.709 align:center
Within 72 hours, John Varghese becomes

01:54:47.710 --> 01:54:49.608 align:center
a youth icon and political hero.

01:54:50.015 --> 01:54:52.537 align:center
A perfectly scripted narrative
takes over social media.

01:54:53.101 --> 01:54:56.085 align:center
Google optimisation at its crazy peak.

01:54:56.796 --> 01:54:58.099 align:center
John is sharp.

01:54:59.413 --> 01:55:00.421 align:center
A very sharp player.

01:55:01.429 --> 01:55:04.209 align:center
He weaponised the media
and manufactured an image.

01:55:04.811 --> 01:55:07.561 align:center
His game mirrors ours,
constructing truth.

01:55:08.920 --> 01:55:09.928 align:center
Don't get rattled.

01:55:10.702 --> 01:55:12.881 align:center
We can still strike a deal
with someone

01:55:13.053 --> 01:55:15.194 align:center
who understands power games.

01:55:16.218 --> 01:55:17.568 align:center
I don't think so, Ravi.

01:55:18.225 --> 01:55:20.052 align:center
If it were Purushothaman or Tobin,

01:55:20.053 --> 01:55:21.443 align:center
we'd have full control.

01:55:21.444 --> 01:55:23.131 align:center
And we would have had a puppet CM.

01:55:23.132 --> 01:55:24.140 align:center
But him...

01:55:25.843 --> 01:55:28.709 align:center
He's unpredictable, and far too clever.

01:55:29.178 --> 01:55:31.726 align:center
The X factor we never saw coming.

01:55:34.554 --> 01:55:36.976 align:center
Damn Varghese sir's death!

01:55:37.960 --> 01:55:39.685 align:center
Unnecessary collateral damage!

01:55:46.499 --> 01:55:47.780 align:center
Something wrong?

01:55:48.577 --> 01:55:49.873 align:center
No. Something is right.

01:55:54.140 --> 01:55:55.208 align:center
It's an old incident.

01:55:55.209 --> 01:55:56.763 align:center
Back in 1986,

01:55:57.757 --> 01:56:00.444 align:center
there was a custodial death
at Keezhthadam Police Station, Idukki

01:56:01.476 --> 01:56:02.951 align:center
an estate worker.

01:56:05.655 --> 01:56:09.084 align:center
He was accused of stealing
ten sacks of cardamom from Plackal Estate.

01:56:09.351 --> 01:56:12.896 align:center
The case was filed
by the local feudal lord, Vakkachan.

01:56:14.288 --> 01:56:16.437 align:center
Out of blind loyalty to him,

01:56:16.438 --> 01:56:19.835 align:center
the SP and his men
beat the poor fellow to death.

01:56:21.976 --> 01:56:23.889 align:center
When the labourers found out
he died in custody,

01:56:23.890 --> 01:56:25.600 align:center
they surrounded the police station.

01:56:26.459 --> 01:56:28.678 align:center
When the enquiry started going
too close to the truth,

01:56:28.679 --> 01:56:31.616 align:center
everyone,
from the SP down to the SI, closed ranks.

01:56:32.327 --> 01:56:36.787 align:center
And the blame was pinned
on a poor ASI who was on night duty.

01:56:39.733 --> 01:56:41.091 align:center
Poor man!

01:56:41.804 --> 01:56:44.069 align:center
Terrified of losing his job
and facing arrest,

01:56:44.444 --> 01:56:46.599 align:center
he ran for help...

01:56:46.936 --> 01:56:48.819 align:center
to Varghese's right-hand man,

01:56:49.374 --> 01:56:52.968 align:center
the then Home Minister, MLA Ramakrishnan.

01:56:53.279 --> 01:56:55.512 align:center
I took him to Varghese sir.

01:56:55.740 --> 01:56:57.849 align:center
The pressure on him was enormous.

01:56:57.960 --> 01:57:01.115 align:center
The Chief Minister, Home Secretary,
the DGP, everyone...

01:57:01.116 --> 01:57:03.764 align:center
to save the SP and his men,

01:57:03.765 --> 01:57:05.709 align:center
sacrificed one ASI.

01:57:07.460 --> 01:57:08.982 align:center
So Varghese sir abandoned him.

01:57:09.482 --> 01:57:11.623 align:center
He lost his job and was arrested.

01:57:11.747 --> 01:57:14.451 align:center
My mother and I used to visit
my father in jail.

01:57:17.460 --> 01:57:20.185 align:center
He would just stand there,
staring at us, silent.

01:57:20.991 --> 01:57:21.999 align:center
Then he would cry.

01:57:23.233 --> 01:57:25.513 align:center
My mother would cry too,
once we stepped outside.

01:57:26.335 --> 01:57:27.910 align:center
I'd feel tears welling up,

01:57:27.911 --> 01:57:30.318 align:center
but it was hunger
that hurt me more than grief.

01:57:33.007 --> 01:57:35.303 align:center
My mother fought the case
by borrowing money,

01:57:35.445 --> 01:57:37.546 align:center
pledging, selling,
everything she owned.

01:57:38.687 --> 01:57:40.999 align:center
My father got bail on the 86th day.

01:57:41.898 --> 01:57:42.905 align:center
He came home.

01:57:44.249 --> 01:57:46.968 align:center
The next day, I was playing with a friend.

01:57:49.241 --> 01:57:53.003 align:center
I saw my father walk out of the house,
into the rain.

01:57:54.764 --> 01:57:57.037 align:center
When he didn't return for a long time,

01:57:57.319 --> 01:57:59.108 align:center
my mother took me along to search for him.

01:58:00.601 --> 01:58:02.179 align:center
We didn't have to go far.

01:58:21.599 --> 01:58:24.176 align:center
I never felt hatred
or a thirst for revenge

01:58:24.177 --> 01:58:26.124 align:center
towards Varghese sir
for abandoning my father.

01:58:26.827 --> 01:58:29.108 align:center
When he gave up under political pressure,

01:58:29.296 --> 01:58:31.585 align:center
he never imagined
my father would take his own life.

01:58:32.483 --> 01:58:34.201 align:center
In the same way, when I trapped him,

01:58:34.202 --> 01:58:35.530 align:center
even I didn't know...

01:58:36.327 --> 01:58:37.686 align:center
that shock would kill him...

01:58:38.155 --> 01:58:40.006 align:center
that he was so fragile.

01:58:41.944 --> 01:58:43.405 align:center
The score is settled now.

01:58:44.201 --> 01:58:45.209 align:center
But one thing is certain,

01:58:45.819 --> 01:58:47.499 align:center
whether I want it or not,

01:58:48.092 --> 01:58:49.639 align:center
the one destined to fall by my hands

01:58:49.640 --> 01:58:50.952 align:center
will fall by my hands.

01:58:51.827 --> 01:58:53.655 align:center
In today's India,

01:58:53.756 --> 01:58:56.207 align:center
corporations like the RM Group,

01:58:56.302 --> 01:58:58.193 align:center
which controls multiple media houses,

01:58:58.194 --> 01:59:00.209 align:center
stand taller than a Chief Minister.

01:59:00.757 --> 01:59:03.855 align:center
If they decide to go all out,
nothing is impossible.

01:59:03.856 --> 01:59:05.597 align:center
Isn't Varghese sir's downfall proof enough?

01:59:08.476 --> 01:59:10.847 align:center
Ravi Madhavan is a corporate criminal.

01:59:11.085 --> 01:59:12.925 align:center
You must be extremely careful with him.

01:59:13.310 --> 01:59:14.838 align:center
He's beyond what we can handle.

01:59:15.096 --> 01:59:16.877 align:center
Sir, you know him better than anyone.

01:59:19.749 --> 01:59:20.757 align:center
What about me?

01:59:22.366 --> 01:59:24.253 align:center
I know, you're Varghese sir's blood.

01:59:24.679 --> 01:59:26.287 align:center
The last thing he told me was,

01:59:26.585 --> 01:59:27.928 align:center
"Let's fight."

01:59:28.898 --> 01:59:31.016 align:center
And then he went to sleep.

01:59:31.244 --> 01:59:33.588 align:center
I need to visit him,
light a candle at his grave,

01:59:33.589 --> 01:59:35.644 align:center
and tell him he won.

01:59:35.771 --> 01:59:38.439 align:center
He should know this,

01:59:38.440 --> 01:59:41.072 align:center
the dead Varghese
is far more powerful than the living one.

01:59:42.101 --> 01:59:43.967 align:center
The senior-most leader of CPN

01:59:43.968 --> 01:59:47.394 align:center
and the very symbol
of indomitable resistance, P. Jayadevan,

01:59:47.395 --> 01:59:49.410 align:center
is out of the Party leadership!

01:59:49.639 --> 01:59:52.109 align:center
Today, Party Secretary M. Gopalan
personally called Jayadevan

01:59:52.110 --> 01:59:53.992 align:center
and informed him of the Party’s decision.

01:59:54.286 --> 01:59:56.419 align:center
Satheesh Chettan,
wasn’t it you who got this news?

01:59:56.420 --> 01:59:57.412 align:center
Yes.

01:59:57.413 --> 01:59:59.428 align:center
Didn’t Comrade Jayadevan tell
the Party Secretary

01:59:59.429 --> 02:00:00.833 align:center
he’d step away voluntarily?

02:00:00.834 --> 02:00:01.960 align:center
That’s the truth.

02:00:01.961 --> 02:00:03.616 align:center
But what he is reporting now is the news.

02:00:14.390 --> 02:00:16.218 align:center
Can you please come to the room?

02:00:27.093 --> 02:00:28.101 align:center
Mom...

02:00:30.420 --> 02:00:31.428 align:center
Come in, dear.

02:00:31.858 --> 02:00:33.874 align:center
It's been so many days since I saw you.

02:00:34.241 --> 02:00:36.553 align:center
I came to see both of you
and to say something.

02:00:37.562 --> 02:00:39.022 align:center
Rosa... I...

02:00:40.180 --> 02:00:42.071 align:center
I called Comrade
the moment I heard the news.

02:00:42.821 --> 02:00:44.547 align:center
He didn’t pick up.

02:00:44.868 --> 02:00:46.109 align:center
For what?

02:00:46.110 --> 02:00:47.532 align:center
What would you tell him?

02:00:48.679 --> 02:00:50.733 align:center
I’ve been waiting all these days,

02:00:51.062 --> 02:00:54.413 align:center
Thinking you’d tell me something
that would make sense to me.

02:00:57.287 --> 02:00:59.461 align:center
It’s a tragedy to keep calculating

02:00:59.462 --> 02:01:00.794 align:center
what’s on your partner’s mind.

02:01:00.795 --> 02:01:02.241 align:center
A terrible state to be in.

02:01:02.765 --> 02:01:05.515 align:center
I know you will respect
whatever decision I make.

02:01:06.499 --> 02:01:07.507 align:center
I’ll call you.

02:01:09.069 --> 02:01:10.522 align:center
I'm leaving, Mom…

02:01:25.147 --> 02:01:28.443 align:center
Pradeep will come from the Party Centre
to drop me at the station.

02:01:28.928 --> 02:01:30.442 align:center
Don’t trouble yourself.

02:01:30.577 --> 02:01:31.936 align:center
I’m coming with you, Dad.

02:01:32.187 --> 02:01:33.663 align:center
I got a ticket in Tatkal.

02:01:33.858 --> 02:01:35.741 align:center
It’s been a while since I visited home.

02:01:37.273 --> 02:01:38.280 align:center
Dear,

02:01:38.663 --> 02:01:41.655 align:center
do you want to tell me something?

02:01:43.217 --> 02:01:46.029 align:center
I don’t think things will work
between John and me anymore, Dad.

02:01:46.132 --> 02:01:48.264 align:center
He’s still not talking to me properly,

02:01:48.265 --> 02:01:50.076 align:center
even now when you are in a crisis.

02:01:52.421 --> 02:01:54.780 align:center
Don’t worry about me.

02:01:55.123 --> 02:01:58.467 align:center
I spoke to Gopalettan and
asked him to remove me from the committee.

02:01:58.646 --> 02:01:59.909 align:center
He didn’t agree.

02:02:00.109 --> 02:02:03.318 align:center
The Party has given me charge
of the Kerala Yatra

02:02:03.530 --> 02:02:06.894 align:center
starting on the 9th of next month,
against the state government.

02:02:07.241 --> 02:02:10.671 align:center
I’ll be leading the political campaign
against John.

02:02:10.968 --> 02:02:13.342 align:center
But that’s not the only issue, Dad.

02:02:14.188 --> 02:02:15.896 align:center
A day before your mother passed away,

02:02:16.680 --> 02:02:19.063 align:center
she asked me something for the first time.

02:02:20.383 --> 02:02:21.700 align:center
That you shouldn’t feel lonely

02:02:22.562 --> 02:02:24.036 align:center
amidst my busy schedule.

02:02:24.852 --> 02:02:26.513 align:center
Since then, I’ve tried

02:02:27.008 --> 02:02:28.958 align:center
to be your best friend.

02:02:29.688 --> 02:02:33.200 align:center
You should tell me how much I’ve succeeded.

02:02:39.703 --> 02:02:42.251 align:center
There’s helplessness
in John’s silence, dear.

02:02:43.532 --> 02:02:45.536 align:center
Give him some more time.

02:02:45.923 --> 02:02:47.335 align:center
He’ll talk to you.

02:02:47.336 --> 02:02:48.685 align:center
Listen to him first,

02:02:49.087 --> 02:02:50.095 align:center
then decide.

02:02:51.891 --> 02:02:54.379 align:center
There’s nothing harder to bear

02:02:54.380 --> 02:02:57.040 align:center
than the sense of loss.

02:02:58.766 --> 02:03:00.913 align:center
I miss your mother so much

02:03:00.914 --> 02:03:03.030 align:center
whenever I am alone.

02:03:15.454 --> 02:03:16.889 align:center
Hi. Any leads?

02:03:17.180 --> 02:03:23.422 align:center
Yeah, she and her kid were taken
to Nepal on October 21.

02:03:23.883 --> 02:03:24.915 align:center
Nepal?

02:03:24.916 --> 02:03:27.569 align:center
Couriers moved them
straight from the airport,

02:03:27.926 --> 02:03:30.481 align:center
then a local gang took custody.

02:03:30.801 --> 02:03:33.882 align:center
The mother and daughter
were forced into Nepal,

02:03:34.250 --> 02:03:35.779 align:center
and now they’re being held

02:03:36.115 --> 02:03:38.772 align:center
somewhere around Lumbini.

02:03:39.287 --> 02:03:40.295 align:center
Just find them.

02:03:40.750 --> 02:03:42.131 align:center
And extract them?

02:03:43.601 --> 02:03:44.609 align:center
No.

02:03:44.945 --> 02:03:47.094 align:center
Ravi Madhavan will do it for me.

02:03:53.052 --> 02:03:54.661 align:center
Everyone's gone through the note

02:03:54.662 --> 02:03:56.935 align:center
on the IT policy
we plan to roll out, right?

02:03:57.126 --> 02:03:58.600 align:center
So, shall we proceed?

02:03:58.907 --> 02:04:01.906 align:center
CM, this comes with a massive
financial burden.

02:04:01.907 --> 02:04:04.092 align:center
And on top of that, it completely sidelines

02:04:04.093 --> 02:04:06.975 align:center
the project Ravi Madhavan
is launching at the IT conclave.

02:04:06.976 --> 02:04:08.413 align:center
Not to forget,

02:04:08.414 --> 02:04:10.859 align:center
he's ready to invest 25,000 crores
in the very first phase.

02:04:10.860 --> 02:04:13.226 align:center
CM, there's absolutely no need

02:04:13.227 --> 02:04:15.999 align:center
to hand over information technology
entirely to private players.

02:04:16.143 --> 02:04:17.867 align:center
I stand with your vision.

02:04:18.142 --> 02:04:20.366 align:center
This will bring us massive
public support, CM.

02:04:21.188 --> 02:04:24.078 align:center
So we're agreed on this, then?

02:04:24.865 --> 02:04:27.771 align:center
This IT policy will be completely free

02:04:27.897 --> 02:04:31.247 align:center
for ordinary citizens below
a fixed income bracket.

02:04:32.077 --> 02:04:34.376 align:center
Kerala will become India's first state

02:04:34.377 --> 02:04:37.478 align:center
to guarantee unrestricted data freedom.

02:04:37.822 --> 02:04:38.830 align:center
Understood?

02:04:39.282 --> 02:04:41.092 align:center
He played us perfectly!

02:04:41.432 --> 02:04:43.804 align:center
The government's free internet scheme!

02:04:44.221 --> 02:04:45.642 align:center
So what's our next move?

02:04:45.643 --> 02:04:48.414 align:center
John Varghese won't be the CM
to announce that scheme.

02:04:49.086 --> 02:04:50.873 align:center
More details at the conclave.

02:04:52.695 --> 02:04:53.852 align:center
CM...

02:04:54.342 --> 02:04:57.507 align:center
No changes to the IT conclave
curtain-raiser programme, right?

02:04:57.680 --> 02:04:59.710 align:center
No changes.
That's the assurance I gave you.

02:05:00.126 --> 02:05:01.684 align:center
And, congratulations.

02:05:01.929 --> 02:05:03.468 align:center
Even if competitors allege

02:05:03.469 --> 02:05:06.744 align:center
the new TRP ratings were rigged,
I won't believe it.

02:05:06.745 --> 02:05:07.947 align:center
Thanks.

02:05:35.046 --> 02:05:36.512 align:center
Welcome, Ravi ji.

02:05:37.430 --> 02:05:39.429 align:center
- Everything okay?
- Yes. All good.

02:05:39.430 --> 02:05:40.992 align:center
Please come. Let's go inside.

02:06:09.210 --> 02:06:10.218 align:center
Her fever has subsided.

02:06:10.860 --> 02:06:13.493 align:center
Why are you treating
me and my daughter like this?

02:06:13.494 --> 02:06:15.681 align:center
Have I ever been disloyal to you?

02:06:15.682 --> 02:06:17.266 align:center
I did everything you asked.

02:06:17.751 --> 02:06:20.219 align:center
And an innocent man died because of us.

02:06:21.219 --> 02:06:24.117 align:center
Everything between us
was purely transactional, Nisha.

02:06:25.424 --> 02:06:27.087 align:center
You followed my instructions.

02:06:29.401 --> 02:06:31.501 align:center
And you were paid for your services.

02:06:32.018 --> 02:06:35.219 align:center
You promised me a good life in the UK
once this was over.

02:06:35.220 --> 02:06:37.063 align:center
I believed you.
That was my mistake.

02:06:37.554 --> 02:06:39.330 align:center
I should never have trusted you.

02:06:39.331 --> 02:06:40.338 align:center
Exactly.

02:06:41.848 --> 02:06:44.073 align:center
After knowing me for six years,

02:06:44.277 --> 02:06:45.948 align:center
you should've known better, Nisha.

02:06:46.512 --> 02:06:50.512 align:center
Or did you imagine
there was something emotional between us?

02:06:53.120 --> 02:06:55.681 align:center
That exceptional talent of yours,
convincing people...

02:06:56.863 --> 02:06:59.043 align:center
I need it one last time.

02:06:59.776 --> 02:07:01.736 align:center
You'll have to travel to Kerala again.

02:07:02.793 --> 02:07:03.801 align:center
Alone.

02:07:05.137 --> 02:07:06.822 align:center
I'll tell you what needs to be done.

02:07:08.855 --> 02:07:10.815 align:center
Until then,
they'll take care of your daughter.

02:07:12.699 --> 02:07:14.330 align:center
If you pull this off,

02:07:15.308 --> 02:07:18.566 align:center
that life I promised you,
it will happen.

02:07:18.980 --> 02:07:19.988 align:center
No.

02:07:20.285 --> 02:07:21.293 align:center
I'm done.

02:07:21.801 --> 02:07:22.808 align:center
You can kill me.

02:07:23.465 --> 02:07:25.143 align:center
Kill you?

02:07:26.035 --> 02:07:27.043 align:center
You're far too valuable.

02:07:41.746 --> 02:07:42.968 align:center
Take the kid away.

02:07:43.581 --> 02:07:45.298 align:center
Transport Nisha immediately.

02:07:45.762 --> 02:07:47.901 align:center
She should reach Kerala
by tomorrow evening.

02:08:00.692 --> 02:08:02.084 align:center
- Come, girl.
- Mom...

02:08:02.085 --> 02:08:03.421 align:center
- Mom...
- Come.

02:08:05.342 --> 02:08:06.725 align:center
Let go of me.

02:08:06.726 --> 02:08:09.169 align:center
Mom... Mom...

02:08:10.151 --> 02:08:12.400 align:center
Sir, as instructed,

02:08:12.401 --> 02:08:14.309 align:center
the child has been moved
to a safe location.

02:08:14.483 --> 02:08:16.500 align:center
Nisha has also been taken to the airport.

02:08:16.683 --> 02:08:17.691 align:center
Alright.

02:09:15.746 --> 02:09:17.824 align:center
Nisha, tell me what's going on.

02:09:18.941 --> 02:09:20.533 align:center
Why did you come here now?

02:09:21.230 --> 02:09:23.182 align:center
Why did you call me here?

02:09:23.715 --> 02:09:25.018 align:center
This is dangerous.

02:09:25.848 --> 02:09:27.135 align:center
Extremely dangerous.

02:09:29.144 --> 02:09:31.409 align:center
If anyone sees us together...

02:09:33.832 --> 02:09:34.840 align:center
I know.

02:09:35.331 --> 02:09:36.877 align:center
This is their doing, isn't it?

02:09:38.300 --> 02:09:40.494 align:center
Ever since that ugly stunt
with my father,

02:09:40.839 --> 02:09:42.759 align:center
I cut off all contact with them.

02:09:44.082 --> 02:09:46.322 align:center
So what the hell is happening now?

02:09:49.328 --> 02:09:51.430 align:center
Hey! Hey! Come quickly!

02:09:51.431 --> 02:09:52.516 align:center
- Oh, no!
- Come fast!

02:09:52.517 --> 02:09:54.305 align:center
- An accident!
- Try opening the door!

02:09:54.306 --> 02:09:55.982 align:center
Hey, move aside.

02:09:55.983 --> 02:09:57.153 align:center
They look familiar!

02:09:57.577 --> 02:09:58.780 align:center
Open the door!

02:10:02.242 --> 02:10:05.367 align:center
<i>To the shocking details of a story
that has shaken Kerala.</i>

02:10:05.368 --> 02:10:07.609 align:center
<i>The survivor who accused</i>

02:10:07.610 --> 02:10:10.579 align:center
<i>former Chief Minister
and mass leader K.N. Varghese</i>

02:10:10.749 --> 02:10:13.430 align:center
was seen boarding a flight to London

02:10:13.431 --> 02:10:15.274 align:center
on the very day of his death.

02:10:15.500 --> 02:10:19.820 align:center
<i>And today, she was spotted
travelling in a car with Tobin Varghese,</i>

02:10:19.821 --> 02:10:23.334 align:center
<i>MP, eldest son of K.N. Varghese,
and brother of the current CM.</i>

02:10:23.335 --> 02:10:24.890 align:center
Everyone, please wait outside.

02:10:25.071 --> 02:10:27.032 align:center
I need to speak to the CM.

02:10:27.171 --> 02:10:29.547 align:center
<i>Tobin Varghese's role
in both the sexual assault case</i>

02:10:29.548 --> 02:10:32.430 align:center
<i>and Varghese's death
has now come to light.</i>

02:10:32.431 --> 02:10:34.290 align:center
- Sir, please sit.
- Don't tell me to sit!

02:10:35.551 --> 02:10:36.895 align:center
Did you see this?

02:10:38.076 --> 02:10:39.897 align:center
Because of you and your family,

02:10:39.898 --> 02:10:41.633 align:center
the party has hit rock bottom.

02:10:41.938 --> 02:10:45.576 align:center
The woman who accused the father
is seen with the elder son.

02:10:46.040 --> 02:10:49.076 align:center
And the younger son's police force
moves in to "protect" them!

02:10:49.946 --> 02:10:52.139 align:center
On what grounds did the police detain her?

02:10:52.360 --> 02:10:53.368 align:center
And then what?

02:10:53.610 --> 02:10:57.560 align:center
They help MP Tobin Varghese
escape straight from the hospital!

02:10:57.983 --> 02:10:59.015 align:center
Brilliant!

02:10:59.016 --> 02:11:02.327 align:center
It's the police's duty
to protect that woman.

02:11:02.796 --> 02:11:05.958 align:center
Both of you better end this dirty game,

02:11:06.062 --> 02:11:08.373 align:center
now, at this very night!

02:11:09.813 --> 02:11:13.568 align:center
Once they said I framed Varghese.

02:11:14.360 --> 02:11:17.436 align:center
Now the world knows,
his own sons destroyed him.

02:11:18.891 --> 02:11:21.571 align:center
Protect your brother who pimped
for your father,

02:11:21.836 --> 02:11:23.677 align:center
and you won't sit in that chair, John!

02:11:25.507 --> 02:11:27.505 align:center
I'm willing to resign, sir.

02:11:28.602 --> 02:11:31.438 align:center
Give me time till tomorrow morning.

02:11:32.430 --> 02:11:33.920 align:center
Like I always say,

02:11:34.779 --> 02:11:37.505 align:center
I am just a stop-gap arrangement

02:11:53.637 --> 02:11:56.315 align:center
You left the country
the same morning CM Varghese sir died,

02:11:56.490 --> 02:11:58.100 align:center
without informing anyone.
Am I right?

02:11:58.611 --> 02:12:00.810 align:center
If you say it was due to
fear of public reaction,

02:12:01.063 --> 02:12:02.266 align:center
we can understand that.

02:12:04.056 --> 02:12:06.530 align:center
And now you've returned
to Kerala from Nepal.

02:12:06.675 --> 02:12:09.262 align:center
You were in Nepal for the past 37 days.

02:12:09.396 --> 02:12:11.544 align:center
May I know what's your Nepal connection?

02:12:11.863 --> 02:12:13.478 align:center
May I know why you're detaining me?

02:12:13.970 --> 02:12:15.041 align:center
Am I an accused?

02:12:15.650 --> 02:12:17.027 align:center
Your allegation is that

02:12:17.028 --> 02:12:18.983 align:center
the former Chief Minister
sexually assaulted you.

02:12:19.590 --> 02:12:22.126 align:center
Yet, the moment you landed in Kerala,

02:12:22.236 --> 02:12:24.646 align:center
you got into the car of his son,
MP Tobin Varghese.

02:12:25.236 --> 02:12:26.819 align:center
Shouldn't that be investigated, madam?

02:12:27.643 --> 02:12:28.650 align:center
And where is he?

02:12:29.043 --> 02:12:30.219 align:center
You're protecting him?

02:12:32.356 --> 02:12:34.609 align:center
What's the relationship
between you and Tobin Varghese?

02:12:34.970 --> 02:12:36.249 align:center
No matter what I say,

02:12:36.435 --> 02:12:37.905 align:center
you'll have your own version.

02:12:38.009 --> 02:12:39.063 align:center
His mate.

02:12:39.064 --> 02:12:40.352 align:center
His illicit relation.

02:12:40.850 --> 02:12:41.856 align:center
His keep.

02:12:42.650 --> 02:12:44.396 align:center
Even if the media calls me a survivor,

02:12:44.868 --> 02:12:46.322 align:center
your version will be different.

02:12:46.710 --> 02:12:48.402 align:center
I raised the allegations against the CM

02:12:48.403 --> 02:12:49.743 align:center
because Tobin told me to.

02:12:50.010 --> 02:12:52.329 align:center
He promised me
he would become the next CM.

02:12:52.910 --> 02:12:54.607 align:center
But he didn't come to power.

02:12:55.256 --> 02:12:56.462 align:center
So, he ditched me.

02:12:56.943 --> 02:12:58.768 align:center
And I said I'll expose him.

02:12:59.136 --> 02:13:00.489 align:center
After that I was contacted by

02:13:00.490 --> 02:13:02.360 align:center
the current CM, his brother.

02:13:02.849 --> 02:13:05.079 align:center
He called and said
he would settle everything.

02:13:05.288 --> 02:13:07.954 align:center
Only now did I realise it was a trap.

02:13:08.510 --> 02:13:10.206 align:center
You must produce me before the court.

02:13:10.386 --> 02:13:11.837 align:center
I want to record a 164.

02:13:19.915 --> 02:13:21.053 align:center
- What's up?
- Madam...

02:13:21.230 --> 02:13:22.860 align:center
The CM's family is inside.

02:13:23.076 --> 02:13:25.403 align:center
He asked you to wait when you arrive.

02:13:27.716 --> 02:13:29.502 align:center
No matter how hard I try to defend you,

02:13:29.503 --> 02:13:32.407 align:center
I've strong evidence regarding Nisha.

02:13:33.175 --> 02:13:35.819 align:center
From the time Ishaan Tejus
connected you to her in Dubai,

02:13:36.021 --> 02:13:38.431 align:center
to meeting her secretly
at your Palode house

02:13:38.432 --> 02:13:40.884 align:center
on the day the opposition marched
to the Secretariat.

02:13:43.869 --> 02:13:45.964 align:center
It's been going on
for two years, hasn't it?

02:13:50.796 --> 02:13:52.222 align:center
Whatever you're saying is true.

02:13:53.110 --> 02:13:55.360 align:center
But... I didn't betray Dad.

02:13:56.103 --> 02:13:57.274 align:center
I swear on God.

02:13:57.383 --> 02:14:00.852 align:center
The great MP Tobin Varghese didn't even
have the basic sense to realise

02:14:01.063 --> 02:14:03.095 align:center
she was trying to trap Dad.

02:14:05.110 --> 02:14:07.985 align:center
Ever since her allegations
against Dad surfaced,

02:14:08.530 --> 02:14:10.650 align:center
I've been trying to contact her,

02:14:11.483 --> 02:14:12.490 align:center
but couldn't.

02:14:13.930 --> 02:14:15.848 align:center
I was terrified all this time.

02:14:16.836 --> 02:14:18.934 align:center
Then she called me the other day,

02:14:19.428 --> 02:14:20.501 align:center
said she was coming here

02:14:20.502 --> 02:14:21.708 align:center
and wanted to see me.

02:14:23.054 --> 02:14:24.790 align:center
She pressured me so much.

02:14:25.167 --> 02:14:26.907 align:center
I couldn't get out of it.

02:14:29.303 --> 02:14:31.563 align:center
I was the one who introduced her to Dad.

02:14:32.810 --> 02:14:33.816 align:center
That's why...

02:14:34.463 --> 02:14:37.376 align:center
I couldn't face Dad that night...

02:14:39.623 --> 02:14:41.368 align:center
Save your tears for later.

02:14:43.523 --> 02:14:44.954 align:center
One Nation, One Information.

02:14:44.955 --> 02:14:47.228 align:center
Were you involved in that project, Ichayan?

02:14:47.710 --> 02:14:48.716 align:center
No.

02:14:48.856 --> 02:14:52.527 align:center
Ishaan ji told me he'd consider me
if it went through.

02:14:52.528 --> 02:14:53.821 align:center
Ishaan ji, huh!

02:14:53.943 --> 02:14:57.306 align:center
You were nothing more than
a useful fool to them.

02:14:58.336 --> 02:15:00.454 align:center
They set Nisha up to frame Dad

02:15:00.676 --> 02:15:02.308 align:center
if he suspects something is off

02:15:02.309 --> 02:15:03.442 align:center
about their project.

02:15:03.935 --> 02:15:05.890 align:center
They built a relationship
between you and her

02:15:05.891 --> 02:15:08.446 align:center
so they could use you
to prove Dad's involvement

02:15:08.569 --> 02:15:10.209 align:center
if an allegation ever came up.

02:15:11.197 --> 02:15:13.044 align:center
They even had the President
in their pocket.

02:15:13.271 --> 02:15:15.690 align:center
They hold the strings
no matter who's in power.

02:15:16.370 --> 02:15:18.203 align:center
When they saw me standing up to them,

02:15:18.375 --> 02:15:20.924 align:center
they brought Nisha back
and exposed your relationship.

02:15:21.042 --> 02:15:23.547 align:center
Now, they're running a smear campaign
to discredit me.

02:15:24.036 --> 02:15:26.056 align:center
I'll confess everything.

02:15:27.116 --> 02:15:29.531 align:center
I'll make sure
nothing happens to you, dear.

02:15:32.636 --> 02:15:35.392 align:center
Do you even know
your father died of heartbreak?

02:15:39.459 --> 02:15:40.538 align:center
Aha!

02:15:40.896 --> 02:15:42.907 align:center
My darling's here!

02:15:43.463 --> 02:15:46.321 align:center
Go tell your mother goodnight
and come back.

02:15:46.830 --> 02:15:50.306 align:center
Tonight, Grandpa wants to sleep
hugging my dear Mariyam.

02:15:54.063 --> 02:15:55.696 align:center
What are you waiting for?

02:15:56.143 --> 02:15:57.634 align:center
Go tell your mother and come.

02:15:57.771 --> 02:15:59.774 align:center
No! I won't come.

02:15:59.986 --> 02:16:02.850 align:center
I'm not going to sleep with you
ever again, Grandpa.

02:16:04.043 --> 02:16:05.050 align:center
Why, sweetheart?

02:16:05.823 --> 02:16:07.556 align:center
Are you angry with Grandpa?

02:16:08.145 --> 02:16:09.544 align:center
Isn't your grandpa a poor old man?

02:16:09.545 --> 02:16:11.745 align:center
No, Grandpa, you're bad!

02:16:11.862 --> 02:16:14.522 align:center
They said so on TV and in this too.

02:16:14.824 --> 02:16:16.864 align:center
And Mamma said the same on the phone!

02:16:16.865 --> 02:16:19.866 align:center
Mamma told me I should only sleep with her

02:16:19.867 --> 02:16:21.806 align:center
and Papa from now on.

02:16:21.976 --> 02:16:25.450 align:center
Mamma said not to sleep with
Grandpa ever again.

02:16:26.563 --> 02:16:28.253 align:center
Grandpa is bad!

02:16:31.489 --> 02:16:32.496 align:center
Annamma...

02:16:32.970 --> 02:16:34.209 align:center
What did she just say...?

02:16:34.516 --> 02:16:36.633 align:center
She said it without knowing anything.

02:16:36.743 --> 02:16:39.349 align:center
- But still... why would she say this?
- Come, let's go to our room.

02:16:39.988 --> 02:16:41.902 align:center
I can't believe I had to hear that...

02:16:41.903 --> 02:16:43.295 align:center
Please don't cry...

02:16:43.436 --> 02:16:44.594 align:center
I can't watch it...

02:16:47.856 --> 02:16:49.683 align:center
Your father didn't sleep that night.

02:16:50.595 --> 02:16:53.161 align:center
He kept tossing in bed all night.

02:16:54.930 --> 02:16:56.626 align:center
And sometime between, I fell asleep...

02:16:58.329 --> 02:16:59.572 align:center
When I woke up...

02:17:02.005 --> 02:17:03.151 align:center
he had...

02:17:05.563 --> 02:17:07.082 align:center
You killed your father!

02:17:07.289 --> 02:17:08.295 align:center
YOU!

02:17:12.826 --> 02:17:13.833 align:center
Dear...

02:17:14.892 --> 02:17:16.956 align:center
You kept this distance from my son...

02:17:17.766 --> 02:17:19.696 align:center
because he became
the Chief Minister, right?

02:17:21.066 --> 02:17:22.688 align:center
I told him that no matter what,

02:17:24.006 --> 02:17:25.680 align:center
he must sit in his father's chair.

02:17:25.900 --> 02:17:28.056 align:center
That was my decision.

02:17:30.493 --> 02:17:32.314 align:center
I also told him not to let anyone...

02:17:32.832 --> 02:17:34.586 align:center
responsible for his father's death

02:17:35.026 --> 02:17:36.340 align:center
walk free.

02:17:38.693 --> 02:17:40.198 align:center
If he could turn into a bad person

02:17:40.199 --> 02:17:41.759 align:center
even in front of a small child,

02:17:42.626 --> 02:17:44.571 align:center
what would those who
sang hymns at his funeral

02:17:44.572 --> 02:17:46.018 align:center
and kissed his hand in farewell

02:17:46.279 --> 02:17:48.118 align:center
have said about him in private?

02:17:49.633 --> 02:17:51.251 align:center
I told John not to tell anyone

02:17:51.707 --> 02:17:54.892 align:center
until the truth came out.

02:17:57.439 --> 02:17:58.885 align:center
For his father's sake,

02:17:59.646 --> 02:18:01.766 align:center
please forgive my selfishness, dear.

02:18:06.453 --> 02:18:08.190 align:center
John told me this morning

02:18:08.726 --> 02:18:10.720 align:center
that that wretched woman
would be coming here.

02:18:12.253 --> 02:18:15.433 align:center
I told him not to show you any mercy.

02:18:16.806 --> 02:18:18.038 align:center
Even though I knew

02:18:18.832 --> 02:18:20.556 align:center
you'd be with her

02:18:20.720 --> 02:18:22.251 align:center
when she was arrested.

02:18:22.252 --> 02:18:23.454 align:center
It was my decision.

02:18:25.173 --> 02:18:27.712 align:center
This is Varghese's wife,

02:18:28.269 --> 02:18:29.790 align:center
Annamma, taking her revenge.

02:18:32.993 --> 02:18:34.704 align:center
Tara Vijayan is waiting outside.

02:18:36.299 --> 02:18:37.492 align:center
You'll have to go with her.

02:18:42.680 --> 02:18:43.686 align:center
Mom...

02:18:43.773 --> 02:18:44.780 align:center
Don't say a word.

02:18:45.066 --> 02:18:46.073 align:center
Just go.

02:19:15.533 --> 02:19:16.985 align:center
I haven't changed.

02:19:18.232 --> 02:19:19.239 align:center
What can I do?

02:19:20.779 --> 02:19:21.794 align:center
I love my father...

02:19:22.893 --> 02:19:24.099 align:center
I love him a lot...

02:19:29.776 --> 02:19:31.961 align:center
<i>Chief Minister John Varghese has placed</i>

02:19:31.962 --> 02:19:34.188 align:center
<i>his strongest focus on the IT sector.</i>

02:19:34.306 --> 02:19:36.747 align:center
<i>Which is why today's conclave is crucial.</i>

02:19:36.886 --> 02:19:39.597 align:center
<i>An announcement is expected
that major IT companies</i>

02:19:39.598 --> 02:19:42.025 align:center
<i>will launch projects worth
billions of rupees in Kerala.</i>

02:19:42.026 --> 02:19:44.522 align:center
<i>However, since yesterday,
the situation has grown unclear.</i>

02:19:44.620 --> 02:19:47.003 align:center
<i>Now, the political survival
of Chief Minister John Varghese</i>

02:19:47.004 --> 02:19:48.634 align:center
<i>appears to be under threat.</i>

02:19:54.893 --> 02:19:57.303 align:center
Sir, the government has announced
the Free Internet scheme

02:19:57.304 --> 02:19:59.891 align:center
as an alternative to your
One Nation One Information scheme.

02:19:59.892 --> 02:20:00.899 align:center
How do you see it?

02:20:02.466 --> 02:20:03.652 align:center
This is a free market.

02:20:03.653 --> 02:20:04.842 align:center
There will be competition.

02:20:05.239 --> 02:20:07.324 align:center
<i>We are also prepared to extend
government benefits</i>

02:20:07.325 --> 02:20:09.271 align:center
<i>worth 25000 crore rupees to the people.</i>

02:20:09.626 --> 02:20:11.057 align:center
I believe the people and the media

02:20:11.058 --> 02:20:13.347 align:center
will understand the reason
behind rejecting it.

02:20:23.433 --> 02:20:25.737 align:center
<i>There is no doubt that
this IT conclave marks</i>

02:20:25.738 --> 02:20:27.966 align:center
a major step towards Kerala's development.

02:20:28.353 --> 02:20:32.883 align:center
Kerala accounts for 71 percent of
India's IT workforce.

02:20:33.079 --> 02:20:35.385 align:center
This conclave was conceived and organised

02:20:35.386 --> 02:20:37.580 align:center
by Kerala's young Chief Minister,
John Varghese,

02:20:37.581 --> 02:20:39.336 align:center
who is himself an IT expert.

02:20:39.833 --> 02:20:41.063 align:center
Big congratulations to you.

02:20:46.194 --> 02:20:47.884 align:center
Thank you, CM, for taking the time

02:20:47.885 --> 02:20:49.965 align:center
to speak to On Time
for this face-to-face interview

02:20:49.966 --> 02:20:51.162 align:center
at this inauguration venue.

02:20:52.467 --> 02:20:54.021 align:center
I should be the one thanking you.

02:20:54.585 --> 02:20:56.079 align:center
For giving me a platform

02:20:56.226 --> 02:20:57.359 align:center
to say what I have to say.

02:20:59.276 --> 02:21:01.362 align:center
The 90 days you've completed since assuming

02:21:01.363 --> 02:21:03.200 align:center
office have raised great hope in Kerala.

02:21:03.553 --> 02:21:05.109 align:center
Your steps against corruption,

02:21:05.299 --> 02:21:06.973 align:center
giving priority to youth in the cabinet,

02:21:06.974 --> 02:21:08.659 align:center
and the new IT policy have all stood out.

02:21:08.660 --> 02:21:10.884 align:center
But things are no longer
so straightforward.

02:21:13.740 --> 02:21:15.661 align:center
You are now facing a major crisis.

02:21:18.666 --> 02:21:20.304 align:center
The return of the woman who made

02:21:20.305 --> 02:21:21.980 align:center
sexual allegations against your father,

02:21:21.981 --> 02:21:24.612 align:center
and the questions surrounding her
relationship with your brother.

02:21:24.613 --> 02:21:26.892 align:center
Taking into account the statements
they are believed

02:21:27.053 --> 02:21:28.312 align:center
to have given the police,

02:21:28.313 --> 02:21:30.386 align:center
you seem to be in a tight spot, CM.

02:21:34.393 --> 02:21:36.058 align:center
This isn't just my assessment...

02:21:36.333 --> 02:21:38.495 align:center
it's a view shared by the public as well.

02:21:40.233 --> 02:21:41.494 align:center
Whatever you said is right.

02:21:41.753 --> 02:21:42.760 align:center
I agree.

02:21:44.280 --> 02:21:46.205 align:center
Wasn't it your brother, Tobin Varghese,

02:21:46.206 --> 02:21:49.347 align:center
who facilitated the alleged relationship

02:21:49.597 --> 02:21:51.986 align:center
between the late Varghese
Sir and the survivor?

02:21:56.673 --> 02:21:58.952 align:center
Who protected her after she left for London

02:21:58.953 --> 02:22:00.732 align:center
following Varghese Sir's death?

02:22:01.399 --> 02:22:03.986 align:center
What promise did he make to her?

02:22:04.153 --> 02:22:05.386 align:center
There is no doubt

02:22:05.387 --> 02:22:07.400 align:center
that person was Tobin Varghese.

02:22:07.573 --> 02:22:09.295 align:center
A fallout between them may have

02:22:09.533 --> 02:22:11.615 align:center
brought her back to the capital yesterday.

02:22:16.008 --> 02:22:17.091 align:center
Let me go.

02:22:17.092 --> 02:22:18.196 align:center
Mom...

02:22:18.286 --> 02:22:19.292 align:center
Leave me...

02:22:49.579 --> 02:22:51.650 align:center
<i>Sir, the child is still in our custody.</i>

02:22:51.651 --> 02:22:53.746 align:center
<i>just like you asked us to.</i>

02:22:54.163 --> 02:22:55.723 align:center
<i>Nisha has been taken to the airport.</i>

02:22:56.229 --> 02:22:59.720 align:center
Everything has been done
as per your instructions, sir.

02:23:02.033 --> 02:23:03.893 align:center
But an unexpected accident

02:23:04.026 --> 02:23:06.373 align:center
threw both your
and your brother's plans off course.

02:23:06.726 --> 02:23:08.031 align:center
Though you stepped in to contain

02:23:08.032 --> 02:23:09.791 align:center
the damage and close all loopholes.

02:23:10.246 --> 02:23:12.165 align:center
The survivor was taken into police custody,

02:23:12.166 --> 02:23:13.355 align:center
for reasons still unknown.

02:23:13.746 --> 02:23:15.399 align:center
And the whereabouts of MP Tobin Varghese

02:23:15.400 --> 02:23:16.439 align:center
remain unclear as well.

02:23:16.440 --> 02:23:17.446 align:center
Isn't that true, CM?

02:23:18.680 --> 02:23:19.686 align:center
It's not true.

02:23:20.026 --> 02:23:21.033 align:center
Why do you say so?

02:23:21.973 --> 02:23:23.670 align:center
That accident was planned.

02:23:27.280 --> 02:23:30.161 align:center
Exactly one minute and ten seconds
after the accident,

02:23:30.433 --> 02:23:33.243 align:center
your channel was already on the scene.

02:23:34.192 --> 02:23:35.199 align:center
How?

02:23:36.326 --> 02:23:37.333 align:center
Nice one, CM.

02:23:37.753 --> 02:23:39.872 align:center
Is it wrong for us
to report an important incident?

02:23:40.025 --> 02:23:41.320 align:center
But that's not what happened.

02:23:41.680 --> 02:23:44.478 align:center
You knew an accident would happen.

02:23:44.788 --> 02:23:47.053 align:center
That's why your team was already positioned

02:23:47.054 --> 02:23:48.848 align:center
just metres away from the accident site.

02:23:49.286 --> 02:23:52.478 align:center
You told them
it was to cover a police combing.

02:23:55.420 --> 02:23:58.663 align:center
Yes, our team reached there
anticipating such a news.

02:23:59.360 --> 02:24:01.651 align:center
We broke an exclusive that shocked Kerala.

02:24:01.652 --> 02:24:03.039 align:center
Where is the conspiracy in that?

02:24:03.040 --> 02:24:05.232 align:center
The conspiracy lies in a phone conversation

02:24:05.233 --> 02:24:09.567 align:center
between you and
your channel owner, Ravi Madhavan,

02:24:09.568 --> 02:24:11.704 align:center
at 6.53 PM that day.

02:24:13.639 --> 02:24:15.385 align:center
A conversation saying the survivor

02:24:15.386 --> 02:24:16.872 align:center
has told Tobin Varghese

02:24:16.873 --> 02:24:18.821 align:center
exactly where to wait

02:24:19.238 --> 02:24:22.087 align:center
and asking you to handle the rest.

02:24:22.250 --> 02:24:23.257 align:center
That phone call!

02:24:26.735 --> 02:24:27.714 align:center
What the...

02:24:27.715 --> 02:24:29.336 align:center
What nonsense are you saying?

02:24:29.906 --> 02:24:31.234 align:center
If you have conviction,

02:24:31.235 --> 02:24:32.487 align:center
if you have nothing to fear,

02:24:32.646 --> 02:24:34.220 align:center
if you have the nerve...

02:24:36.411 --> 02:24:37.557 align:center
Play this.

02:24:37.866 --> 02:24:39.343 align:center
It's a recording of the phone call

02:24:39.344 --> 02:24:40.763 align:center
between you and Ravi Madhavan.

02:24:46.028 --> 02:24:47.672 align:center
Aravindan, call theft isn't a big deal

02:24:47.673 --> 02:24:49.970 align:center
for someone who knows his job.

02:24:52.587 --> 02:24:54.064 align:center
And one more thing...

02:24:54.065 --> 02:24:56.013 align:center
The statement the survivor gave the police

02:24:56.299 --> 02:24:57.885 align:center
is not the one you're expecting.

02:24:59.840 --> 02:25:01.064 align:center
I can produce you in court.

02:25:01.353 --> 02:25:02.692 align:center
But watch this video before that

02:25:03.208 --> 02:25:06.172 align:center
<i>Ashwini Chandrakumar, aged 9,
has been safely--</i>

02:25:06.173 --> 02:25:07.443 align:center
Your daughter is rescued.

02:25:07.806 --> 02:25:08.892 align:center
And she's safe.

02:25:08.893 --> 02:25:10.814 align:center
She's at the Indian Embassy in Kathmandu.

02:25:11.816 --> 02:25:14.316 align:center
She's presently safe and secure.

02:25:14.434 --> 02:25:16.465 align:center
<i>Necessary coordination is underway.</i>

02:25:16.466 --> 02:25:17.574 align:center
<i>Mom!</i>

02:25:21.218 --> 02:25:22.524 align:center
This is an orchestrated move.

02:25:22.669 --> 02:25:23.908 align:center
A helpless woman

02:25:23.909 --> 02:25:25.764 align:center
has been subjected to state terror.

02:25:25.907 --> 02:25:27.535 align:center
And you are forcing her

02:25:27.536 --> 02:25:29.018 align:center
to give a statement to the police

02:25:29.019 --> 02:25:31.494 align:center
against a media house
that upholds high values

02:25:31.495 --> 02:25:33.728 align:center
and is committed
to ensuring justice for her.

02:25:33.911 --> 02:25:36.321 align:center
CM, you're playing with fire.

02:25:37.049 --> 02:25:38.851 align:center
Then why don't you just play this USB?

02:25:39.403 --> 02:25:40.850 align:center
I'm challenging you.

02:25:43.149 --> 02:25:45.095 align:center
I'm the Chief Minister of Kerala.

02:25:45.457 --> 02:25:48.759 align:center
I'm responsible for
all the audio visuals in this.

02:25:50.282 --> 02:25:51.458 align:center
If this is fake...

02:25:51.731 --> 02:25:53.229 align:center
I will announce my resignation

02:25:53.489 --> 02:25:54.888 align:center
right here, right now.

02:25:59.335 --> 02:26:01.173 align:center
Let's play this, Aravindan.

02:26:11.228 --> 02:26:12.848 align:center
<i>- Is the team ready?
- Yes.</i>

02:26:13.173 --> 02:26:16.373 align:center
<i>The police are combing the area
for three wanted goons.</i>

02:26:16.647 --> 02:26:17.974 align:center
<i>That's good.</i>

02:26:18.501 --> 02:26:21.487 align:center
<i>You'll be informed five minutes
before the lorry hits.</i>

02:26:21.578 --> 02:26:22.664 align:center
<i>Okay.</i>

02:26:51.093 --> 02:26:52.367 align:center
You call victims...

02:26:52.966 --> 02:26:54.253 align:center
survivors...

02:26:55.560 --> 02:26:56.812 align:center
I'm not a survivor.

02:26:57.425 --> 02:26:58.954 align:center
I'm a victim.

02:26:59.693 --> 02:27:02.013 align:center
<i>A victim of corporate tyranny.</i>

02:27:02.552 --> 02:27:05.552 align:center
<i>Behind many big corporate projects,</i>

02:27:06.006 --> 02:27:08.424 align:center
there is the silence of victims like me.

02:27:08.619 --> 02:27:09.626 align:center
And tears.

02:27:10.224 --> 02:27:12.497 align:center
For the past five years,

02:27:12.826 --> 02:27:14.307 align:center
Ravi Madhavan has used me

02:27:14.308 --> 02:27:15.566 align:center
in many of his operations.

02:27:15.926 --> 02:27:16.933 align:center
I'm paid.

02:27:17.220 --> 02:27:18.522 align:center
And promised a good life.

02:27:19.206 --> 02:27:22.430 align:center
But that wasn't the reason I did
what he asked me to do.

02:27:23.286 --> 02:27:24.622 align:center
It's fear and...

02:27:25.053 --> 02:27:26.388 align:center
fear is his capital.

02:27:26.800 --> 02:27:28.362 align:center
<i>I did what he told me to.</i>

02:27:29.253 --> 02:27:32.280 align:center
<i>A false allegation against
the former CM Varghese sir...</i>

02:27:35.756 --> 02:27:37.166 align:center
One Nation One Information,

02:27:37.167 --> 02:27:38.990 align:center
a project that is designed to enslave

02:27:38.991 --> 02:27:41.148 align:center
an entire nation through cyberspace.

02:27:41.319 --> 02:27:42.606 align:center
For rejecting that proposal,

02:27:42.607 --> 02:27:44.903 align:center
he became a victim of
Ravi Madhavan's corporate terror...

02:27:44.904 --> 02:27:45.910 align:center
My father...

02:27:46.599 --> 02:27:47.837 align:center
KN Varghese.

02:27:49.687 --> 02:27:50.962 align:center
Ravi Madhavan...

02:27:51.361 --> 02:27:54.309 align:center
I came here far more prepared than you.

02:27:54.786 --> 02:27:56.577 align:center
Every decision you took...

02:27:56.746 --> 02:27:57.753 align:center
was mine.

02:27:57.986 --> 02:27:59.444 align:center
I was controlling you.

02:28:04.180 --> 02:28:06.419 align:center
When corporate criminals own the media,

02:28:06.660 --> 02:28:07.886 align:center
truth turns into fiction,

02:28:08.106 --> 02:28:09.492 align:center
and fiction becomes the narrative.

02:28:11.733 --> 02:28:13.367 align:center
Breaking a story means

02:28:13.619 --> 02:28:14.747 align:center
breaking the truth.

02:28:14.993 --> 02:28:16.292 align:center
Let me speak, CM.

02:28:18.060 --> 02:28:19.243 align:center
Now, I will speak...

02:28:19.679 --> 02:28:20.956 align:center
And so will they...

02:28:21.673 --> 02:28:22.849 align:center
And you'll listen.

02:28:30.759 --> 02:28:32.674 align:center
You can say anything about anyone.

02:28:33.453 --> 02:28:34.845 align:center
Fabricate evidence.

02:28:35.443 --> 02:28:37.009 align:center
Defame people.

02:28:37.309 --> 02:28:38.316 align:center
Drag them down.

02:28:39.456 --> 02:28:40.991 align:center
Destroy lives.

02:28:41.509 --> 02:28:42.515 align:center
Pronounce judgments.

02:28:44.089 --> 02:28:45.602 align:center
Manufacture consent.

02:28:46.495 --> 02:28:47.835 align:center
Post truth!

02:28:47.974 --> 02:28:50.478 align:center
That's your privilege, isn't it?

02:28:54.112 --> 02:28:56.422 align:center
The media is meant to be
society's greatest strength

02:28:56.423 --> 02:28:57.884 align:center
and its corrective force.

02:28:58.026 --> 02:28:59.809 align:center
That is what journalism should be.

02:28:59.810 --> 02:29:03.031 align:center
But do not abuse the privilege of speaking

02:29:03.539 --> 02:29:05.027 align:center
in the name of the people.

02:29:07.611 --> 02:29:09.218 align:center
You know what's worth more

02:29:09.439 --> 02:29:12.456 align:center
than the 500,000 US dollars
he dumped in your Fiji account?

02:29:13.127 --> 02:29:14.724 align:center
One honest line of news

02:29:14.725 --> 02:29:15.999 align:center
that exposes the burning truth.

02:29:21.219 --> 02:29:22.768 align:center
My father's image was

02:29:23.161 --> 02:29:24.904 align:center
destroyed in twenty-two minutes.

02:29:25.860 --> 02:29:27.502 align:center
And your 300 million-dollar empire...

02:29:28.205 --> 02:29:29.212 align:center
in fifteen.

02:30:25.326 --> 02:30:26.333 align:center
Madam.

02:30:30.033 --> 02:30:32.180 align:center
There used to be a newspaper in Bombay...

02:30:32.333 --> 02:30:33.499 align:center
Midtown News.

02:30:34.213 --> 02:30:36.585 align:center
It carried the news of my arrest
in two columns,

02:30:36.706 --> 02:30:38.233 align:center
for the first and last time.

02:30:39.332 --> 02:30:41.061 align:center
When I got out on the 14th day...

02:30:41.062 --> 02:30:42.542 align:center
I bought out that newspaper.

02:30:43.133 --> 02:30:45.363 align:center
That was also the beginning of
On Time News.

02:30:45.793 --> 02:30:47.327 align:center
By that logic, when I come out

02:30:47.459 --> 02:30:49.346 align:center
I'll be buying your government, John.

02:30:49.931 --> 02:30:51.431 align:center
There isn't much time left.

02:30:51.872 --> 02:30:53.919 align:center
After all,
you're just a stop-gap arrangement.

02:30:54.946 --> 02:30:56.417 align:center
I've let it all go.

02:30:56.521 --> 02:30:58.268 align:center
Now I only have one identity.

02:31:00.839 --> 02:31:02.144 align:center
Successor...

02:31:03.879 --> 02:31:06.319 align:center
I'm here to deliver my father's response.

02:31:07.331 --> 02:31:08.634 align:center
His successor...

02:31:10.532 --> 02:31:12.540 align:center
The tree your dad hanged himself...

02:31:13.346 --> 02:31:15.040 align:center
is waiting for you.

02:31:16.726 --> 02:31:18.329 align:center
You're too old-fashioned.

02:31:18.718 --> 02:31:21.454 align:center
I have no father, son, no holy spirit.

02:31:22.033 --> 02:31:23.593 align:center
I'm not even human.

02:31:24.613 --> 02:31:26.799 align:center
I'm an algorithm you'll never decode.

02:31:27.695 --> 02:31:29.334 align:center
Keep your firewalls ready.

02:31:30.040 --> 02:31:31.235 align:center
I'll be coming.

02:31:31.931 --> 02:31:32.939 align:center
Bring it on.

02:31:44.653 --> 02:31:47.431 align:center
<i>I will appear before the court
and tell the whole truth.</i>

02:31:47.599 --> 02:31:50.959 align:center
<i>Ravi Madhavan's conspiracy
against the present Chief Minister,</i>

02:31:51.422 --> 02:31:54.499 align:center
including the false allegations
against former CM Varghese.

02:31:55.466 --> 02:31:57.817 align:center
He treated me with nothing but respect.

02:31:58.650 --> 02:32:00.418 align:center
I unknowingly became the reason

02:32:00.571 --> 02:32:02.646 align:center
for the death of a man like him.

02:32:03.435 --> 02:32:04.466 align:center
For that...

02:32:04.467 --> 02:32:05.474 align:center
I apologise...

02:32:18.220 --> 02:32:19.584 align:center
<i>You should fight it, Dad.</i>

02:32:19.585 --> 02:32:20.665 align:center
We must fight.

02:32:20.666 --> 02:32:23.166 align:center
THIS MAN WAS TRULY RIGHTEOUS

02:32:57.364 --> 02:32:58.370 align:center
Dad...

02:32:59.713 --> 02:33:01.407 align:center
isn't alone anymore...

02:33:15.573 --> 02:33:17.386 align:center
Today's Varghese sir's resurrection.

02:33:18.338 --> 02:33:21.098 align:center
No one else has stood by their father
the way you have.

02:33:22.183 --> 02:33:24.766 align:center
Sir, you must now stand by
the people who loves him.

02:33:25.542 --> 02:33:28.040 align:center
No one understood my dad
the way you did, sir.

02:33:28.212 --> 02:33:29.655 align:center
Sir, you must step forward

02:33:29.803 --> 02:33:30.909 align:center
and lead them.

02:33:31.812 --> 02:33:33.595 align:center
I'll submit my resignation.

02:33:34.920 --> 02:33:36.829 align:center
Dad will understand me...
