Delhi Crime (दिल्ली क्राइम)

Malkhan - pull over, pull over.

Near the crowd.

Hey, move aside. Move, move. Let us see.

You people stay back.

-Get bedsheets from one of those hotels there. -Someone's already gone, Sir.

-What's your name? -Akash.

Akash, what happened?

Look out, here's the bedsheet.

Come on.

Move it.

-Now tell me what happened. -We got on a bus, there were six guys on it.

They took everything, stripped us naked, and threw us onto the road.

They beat us badly.

They did terrible things to me. Don't tell my father.

Malkhan, careful. Drive steady.

God.

Still coughing?

-Looks like the medicine’s not working. -Don't know.

I’ll see if I can find another medicine.

Sir, we got a call from A-Block, some guys were seen with guns.

Come on.

Go.

Quickly, Sir. There's guys with guns...

Over there, Sir.

They’re policemen. Some operation going on.

How could I know? They look like goons to me.

Move it, go, get lost.

Yeah, Ma'am?

Positive. Sudhir’s been watching all morning.

Is your boss home?

Who is it?

-Aseem? -What?

Delhi Police. Your friend Bhupendra.

-Did you call the cops? -Yeah, and you deserve it!

And you deserve this, bitch!

Are you nuts?

So let me get this straight... You serve 15 years for trying to blow up Parliament

and start collecting weapons to kill the guys who turned you in.

You also admit to your wife that you cheated on her while in prison.

Pissed off, she calls the police. And you kill her.

Keep an eye on him.

-What is this? Second time today. -How much electricity did you use last month?

-I don't keep track of the wattage. -But I have last month’s bill, it’s doubled.

My unit’s working on so many cases at night, should they work in the dark?

Come on, switch the lights on, I'll pay the bill. Thank you.

Someone pay this bill. Deduct the money from the fuel budget.

-We’ve got to do it for Sir here. -You're too kind.

So, Ram Pratap...

You disappeared while on duty yesterday. And don't deny it.

Sir…

I'm on duty all day, there's no time to buy medicines.

-My wife was sick. -Oh yeah?

I missed my brother’s wedding because of work. Don't lecture me about 'duty'.

If this happens again...

-Okay. -Sir.

Wait a minute. I know the shifts are long.

None of us have time for family.

Just don't let me hear about it next time, okay?

Yes, Sir.

You asked to see me, Vinod?

Yes, Ma'am.

How are you?

So how was your first week of training?

-Good, very good. -Great.

Where are you from?

-Chandigarh. -Chandigarh? So how come you’re here?

Punjab police must also need good officers.

I wanted the big city experience.

Meaning you wanted to get away from home.

Just… do a good job.

Correct.

I should get used to saluting you then - our future DCP.

Long live India.

-What’s going on? -Yes, Madam Sir.

No need to salute me.

So many vehicles passed by here, but you didn’t look at even one of them.

Why have a checkpoint?

We’ve been watching all day, Madam Sir. We just took a little break.

What’s wrong with him?

Did you smoke pot… on duty?

We’ve been on duty for two days straight, Madam, without a break.

Either you’re liars, or you’re lazy…

Great.

-Get him out of here. -Go, get lost!

-Yes, Madam Sir? -Vinod!

Madam, what happened?

I'm at Vasant Vihar Club checkpoint, where three of your men are doing nothing.

-And one of them is stoned. -Ma’am, I can’t keep track of every constable.

You know about our staff shortages. If we had more people this wouldn’t happen.

It's good to know that you can’t keep track of your own men.

Get them out of here now, and replace them.

-Yes, Madam. -I'm waiting here.

Alright, 'Future DCP' Madam.

Check point duty. Let's give you the big city experience.

I'm leaving Aseem in your custody.

Interrogation over?

Yeah, I’ve got what I need. He’s in lock up, all yours now.

See? Who needs electricity.

-Having fun, Narayan? -Yes, Madam.

Go home.

Go on... go home and talk on the phone all you want.

What? Stop!

What did you say?

Nothing Madam, nothing.

Long live India.

We’re leaving, Madam.

Assholes.

-You’re in training? -Yes, Madam.

I shouldn’t have to tell you why we have checkpoints.

The drivers should feel intimidated. Look into their eyes.

If they have something to hide, it’ll show on their faces.

-Stop them and check them, got it? -Yes, Madam.

At the academy, you were our favourite.

Our teacher, Joshi Sir, he said you were his best student.

Eyes on the road.

Yes, Madam?

-Now I'm stuck with these idiots. -Are you asking me to take a demotion?

No, not yet.

Interrogation’s done?

Yes, you’ll have a report on your desk tomorrow morning.

Alright, talk to you tomorrow.

Okay, Madam.

Shut it off.

-Now what, Madam? -What do you mean 'now what'?

It’s the second time I’ve been stopped by the police. I’m late.

There must be a reason. What's in the back?

School books.

Open it.

Madam, it’s school books.

Open it.

-See, school books. -Get them down.

Now.

-It's heavy, Madam. -Get them down.

Open it.

Look, Madam, look.

These too.

School books and elephant tusks?

...And, how’s your daughter, Rebha?

She’s fine. A little nervous.

I'm sure... just like Maninder here.

Please excuse me, but when we last spoke, you never said what you do for a living?

-I’m with the Delhi Police. -Oh, Delhi Police.

What post?

STF - I head a Special Task Force in South District.

Okay. So you’re an IPS officer?

-No, Sir. I’m with the Delhi Police itself. -What's the difference?

IPS officers write an exam, and after training, command our officers.

But we have to start at the bottom, as constables, and work our way up.

I understand. It’s another gift from the British.

-Isn’t that right? -Yes, indeed.

It used to be called the “Imperial Police Service”

-Yeah, exactly-- -And no Indian could join.

After independence, it changed to the “Indian Police Service”.

-Am I right? -Yes, yes.

See, it is a flawed system.

But the day it changes, you’ll see great progress in policing this country.

But until then, you can never become a DCP?

But he commands a special force, with direct access to his DCP.

Yes, I heard him.

Well, it’s been great meeting you. I'll get back to you.

See, the kids' marriage is no small matter.

-I’ll talk to my family, and let you know. -You're absolutely right.

So... how's work?

Amazing. I met Vartika Chaturvedi today.

-Vartika Chaturvedi! -Yeah.

Who’s she?

DCP South District.

-You won't win me over like this. -Even I was thinking that.

I mean, this isn't working, right? Fine...

So tell me, what do you want to know about me?

Nothing. I know enough.

Enough?

-Enough to marry me? -Sure.

I don’t know anything about you.

We have our entire lives to get to know each other.

But we only have a couple of hours to decide if we want to do this.

My parents are visiting.

They’ll ask me as soon as I get home.

What am I doing?! I came to Delhi to be independent.

So is that why you joined the police, to be independent?

You seem so sure of yourself.

Actually, besides you, I’m sure of everything.

You have to go?

We’ll... meet again?

Don’t know.

That means we will.

-Brother, take us to Dwarka? -No.

-Brother, take us to Dwarka? -No, I'll take you to Munirka.

-Come on. -No, Brother, Munirka.

You can take a bus from there.

-We'll find a bus there? -Yeah, of course.

…Yeah, so what date did the judge give?

One second, hold on.

Yeah, go ahead.

How much?

Are you serious? And she got that at the checkpoint?

What was her name? Neeti. Okay...

She went to San Diego to study, met a foreigner, fell in love,

Here... it's okay?

-Why didn't we take this one? -No, no.
