Dabba Cartel (डब्बा कार्टेल)

Danish.

-Let's go get some lunch. -I can't, sir.

I have to submit these reports to the Narcotics Bureau.

They're urgent.

You go ahead.

Narcotics Bureau?

What kind of report?

There was a raid on a rave party. They sent drug samples here for analysis.

-When did the samples arrive? -A week ago.

Send the samples to be retested.

The Narcotics Bureau is chasing me. I have to submit the reports--

Tell them the reports are not ready.

Run a spectroscopy on these.

And lunch?

Maybe later.

Find out the exact composition of this.

Pathak Sir, what is the matter?

Someone has mixed fentanyl with MDMA.

SANKALP SIDDHI COOPERATIVE HOUSING SOCIETY LTD.

-Yes, sir? -Hari?

Where are you at the moment? I've been waiting for ages.

Why are you not here?

Get your ass back to the office right now.

Yes, sir. On my way, sir.

-Hello? -I really didn't think you'd take my call.

You've called me after years, Shankar.

-Surely something big must have happened. -Yes, huge.

For you.

VivaLife might drop all the cases against you.

You're in trouble, right, Shankar?

Let's talk about you, Bose. This could change your life.

Got to give it to you, man.

I'm the one who can rescue you here,

but you're making it sound as if you are the one throwing me a rope.

You won't get a chance like this twice.

Got it?

They don't match, Varuna. Would you care to explain, please?

Explain what?

These sales? The expenditure?

Where was I when all this was happening?

You don't have to worry about all that.

Just focus on the bills.

These bills are all fake, Varuna.

And I'm not an idiot here. This is not a small amount.

Don't teach me how to run my business, Shambhavi. I know what I'm doing.

Okay.

Maybe you're forgetting,

but my company manages your finance.

And I can't be seen doing all this.

I understand that, so just do whatever you want to do.

Varuna, it won't be too long before others find out your secret.

Good luck.

If you want to grow the business then Sitara needs to expand.

It's becoming impossible to launder the money with just one store.

Why? Has there been a raid?

Not yet.

But the auditors are asking questions.

I've been able to handle it for now, but we need to expand Sitara.

Commercial complex. High-end malls.

It's time.

Do it on paper.

Brands are not made on paper, Sheila-ben.

We are not sitting around here so you can build your brand.

Sitara is just a means of laundering money for us.

If needed, we will find another way.

We are more concerned about our profit than yours.

What do you mean by profit, Ba? What kind of conversation is this?

We were making Mithai so that we could return Chavan's money.

We've done that now. Why do we need to make more Mithai?

We're happy with our dabba business.

Right, Mala?

Didi, I respect you a lot,

but I also have to consider myself and Kunni's future.

Ba, please.

Anyway, if you have got this far,

then you've definitely found out everything about me.

Mr Bose, I am a government servant.

Bhaiyya, is this medicine available here?

Pramod, can you sort out this prescription?

Can we go elsewhere and talk?

Mr Bhowmick, in your hands

are all the details of VivaLife's fake clinical trials.

But, sir, why are you showing me all this?

Mr Bose, you don't understand. Look at this.

If you become a whistle-blower, the law will be on your side.

Then all the reports on Stravinol can be presented in court as well.

Sir, the law is always on the side of the people who have more power.

That's the truth.

Take your FDSCO, for example.

VivaLife has bribed everybody there.

This matter will never reach the court.

Mr Bose, you are not alone, I am--

Mr Pathak, VivaLife has made me an offer.

They have agreed to drop all the cases against me.

I mean, isn't the saying normally, "Once bitten, twice shy"?

But you, Mr Bose?

Despite what VivaLife did to you, you're going to trust them again?

Why?

I'm just leaving this with you, Mr Bose.

Think about it.

-Raji, is everything ready for tomorrow? -Yes, Aai.

Your Baba has booked a minibus

for the whole platoon to come to your baby shower.

Everyone is so excited--

Listen, Aai, I'll call you back later, okay?

All right, but take care of yourself, okay?

Bye.

Ba, I have decided that when Hari gets the approval from Shankar Sir,

you will come to Germany with us.

And who will manage the business here?

No one. We'll stop selling meals and leave this place forever.

I wasn't talking about your meal business.

Screw the other business, Ba! We only did it because we had to, right?

We won't need to be afraid of Chavan anymore once we're there.

Fear is overcome by facing it, not by running away.

I don't want to face it, Ba.

Were you the one who was kidnapped?

Did Chavan take you somewhere and threaten you?

Hari is also in trouble because of me, Ba. I can't do this anymore.

This is our one chance to upgrade our lives. Why won't you take it?

I don't understand why you're being like this, Ba?

This house and household life make you happy, Raji,

not me.

What's up?

What happened? Tell me.

Did you two argue?

Well, Ba?

We didn't.

Mood swings. They're normal when you're pregnant.

Really? And what was going on this morning?

You got out of the car.

Then you took an auto and left.

Where did you go?

Where did you go, Raji?

Mala called me.

She said that we'd run out of spices, so I went to go get some.

-Hello? -Hello, Chavan?

This is Raji speaking.

I wanted to talk to you about something.

Hello? Shankar?

Good decision, Bhowmick.

Of course.

Not trusting you has to be the best decision, right?

What do you mean?

Goodbye, Shankar. Don't call me ever again.

Bhowmick, you're making a big mistake. Listen to me…

Hello? Mr Pathak?

This is Bhowmick speaking.

Bhowmick has come around.

He also shared an official email from Shankar

which clearly shows that VivaLife knew about Modella.

What? How did Bhowmick get his hands on it?

-Did he say? -Why would he?

He obviously wouldn't disclose the name of the person who helped him.

Do you think that Mrs Tijori was telling the truth?

What?

Remember how Mrs Tijori said that Bhowmick and Shankar's wife, Varuna, had met?

Maybe Varuna…?

Nonsense.

She's his wife. Why would she hand Bhowmick the proof?

So what's the plan now?

Now, I will go directly to the FDSCO chief.

I will submit a direct complaint--

Your FDSCO has been bribed.

Last time, they only transferred you.

This time, they will sack you.

As it happens, I have an idea.

But if you still want to be Mr Honest, then let's forget about it.

What idea?

An FDSCO investigation is out of the question.

But if this report gets leaked to the media,

then the FDSCO will be answerable to the public.

Then your Kumar will not be able to do anything.

And if the media refuses to publish the report?

Aditi Sehgal is a reporter at The Front Page.

She's going after Shankar relentlessly.

She will publish both the email and the report.

Hello, this is Aditi Sehgal from The Front Page.

We have a key witness and evidence

to prove that VivaLife has conducted fake drug trials.

Please understand, we are publishing this article.

If VivaLife has anything to say about these fake clinical trials,

then we will also publish your statement along--

Fake trials or fake story?!

Wait. Let me handle this, please.

-Hello? Mr Dasgupta. -Hello, Aditi.

I know who your source is.

This is a made-up story by a disgruntled ex-employee

who wants to extort money from us through this article.

Is that your statement?

Our statement is this, Aditi.

This article is a complete fabrication and hit-piece against our organisation.

VivaLife will deal with it in the courts.

Ma'am, a customer has come for a product exchange.

They say they want to meet you.

Am I supposed to handle this too now?

Excuse me?

Sorry, my staff just checked.

Your outfit is not available in other sizes.

No, it was actually a gift.
