We're sealing off the area.
Helen.. Dutch Tourist.
Found dead on Pattaya Beach.
Sandra, from Spain..
Body discovered in Hotel Blue Star.
Both the tourists died due to drug overdose.
Prime suspect..
Charles..
Hypnotic
intelligent
ruthless and brutal..
Charles's biggest weapon is his proximity with his victim.
His target, backpacker tourists..
According to Interpol, he's more active on the Hippie trail.
He often kills tourists for their money and passport
with an overdose of sedatives.
Charles travels on passports of people he kills
to hide his identity.
His modus operandi is simple.
First, he spots his victim.
Then, he befriends them and wins their trust.
Cheers! Cheers!
The victim has no clue
that proximity is Charles's only weapon.
Attention passengers.
Air India regrets to announce a delay of two hours.
Alan. The arrival of its flight AI..
12 Nepalese, Princess Malvika
and a Brazilian airhostess were victims of fraud.
We've arrested a man named Alan from Palam Airport.
We're still interrogating him.
Zubin Pratap.
Paul Smith.
Lawrence Postma.
Antonio Salvia.
Al Margo.
So many passports! Who are you?
All of them.
Hi, Richard.
Mira!
Come on.
We're on.
'Charles and three other inmates absconding.'
'Sedatives in custard leave 170 people unconscious in jail.'
'Jailbreak in broad daylight.'
Sir, Charles broke out of jail in broad daylight.
How did this happen?
We've heard that three other inmates escaped along with Charles.
Come in.
So you are Satyendra Kumar.
Yes, sir.
Get me some tea.. Black tea, with ginger.
Tell Suresh at the canteen.
Less sugar. Less sugar.
Can I sit here? Please, sir.
You've been the jailor here since '82, right? Yes.
So, Mr. Satyendra, can you tell me
what was a 3C class prisoner doing in a B Class facility?
Please, explain.
Wasn't Charles in ward no. 13? Yes, sir.
So you completely disregarded
jail manual 205, 209 and 552.
Sir, I've received a detailed report.
We'll dedicate all our efforts to investigate this
and make sure the guilty are brought to justice. Trust me.
I've a big problem with people who say 'Trust me'.
'Believe me'. They use 'Trust' as a selling point.
Do you understand USP? Yes, sir. Union Soviet..
You've made a scene out there.
The media won't come inside. I've kept them at bay..
How many kids do you have?
I have a boy, sir.
Where does he study?
St. Columbus, right?
Sir, Charles is a state prisoner..
Sir, I have a clause here..
How dare you humiliate the police and this uniform?
How can we wear this uniform again?
Are we thieves? Or are we cops!
You should be ashamed!
Arrest him!
Mira?
I am a Law faculty student.
I'm studying there, and I
specialize in criminal law, ma'am.
And, even if I met Charles a few times, it doesn't prove that
there's something going on between us.
Do you know, as per law you can't detain me here.
This is a huge mistake, and you have no idea.. Sir.
Sit.
I don't understand, sir..
Why am I.. You're more of a victim than an accused.
And you should know who you're supporting.
You understand that.
I'll give my statement to the court.
Reena.
Reena. Yes.
Did you call the office for some passes?
Yes, we wanted to attend the 'Ghazal Night'.
We?
Me and my friends.
Why? Don't we have money?
Buy your own tickets.
Please! Don't like it. It's wrong.
I..
I feel like having
those onion fritters you make. Please, thank you.
Three other prisoners have escaped with Charles.
Richard Thomas. Satpal and Bajrangi.
Charles knows 14 languages.
Sources say that he's an international spy.
Those who escaped..
International spy, bunch of crap.
He's just a crook.
Media people.. Take that girl for instance.
What was her name? What was her name?
Sir, Mira. Mira. She studies criminal law.
But was influenced by him.
Charles has brainwashed her
and now she speaks his language. Unbelievable.
I was reading an article this morning.
It said that Charles can brainwash anyone.
Sir, he's quite shrewd. What shrewd?
You're just giving him credit like the media. Glorifying him.
How can you do this? Sorry, sir.
Surprising.. What is he? What is he?
He's a thief. A conman. A murderer.
Switch it off.
Come with me. Sir.
Always busy watching television.
We've arrested a few conspirators connected to this case.
We've apprehended them. There are two policemen and a lawyer.
Sir, there's a girl called Mira involved in this?
Yes. Please tell us something about her, sir.
We can't reveal much right now.
We've already arrested her and
brought her here for interrogation.
Please take a seat. Thank you. This is Mira..
Hello. Princess Malvika.
Please..
I met him in Udaipur.
And he said his name was Zubin Pratap
from the royal family of Nepal.
'Cheers!' He said he was forming an army in India
in order to protect the royal family.
And for that he needed funds.
So.. What then?
My family members sent me to Paris.
My aunt used to live there
and then Harvard for higher studies.. But..
But no freedom.
And.. Life threat?
Take the Kennedy family for instance.
Royalty has its own price to pay. Yes.
There's always a life threat.
You never know who might kill you..
Why would people want to kill you?
Because I want to save people.
Sir, we cook Chinese dishes at 'Lover's Cove'.
He swindled 50,000 from us as well.
Why? For sending us to America.
Sir, all the cooks met Charles
at Hotel Samrat for our interview.
What do you cook? Veg fried Schezwan rice.
Next. Tek Chettri.
You? American chop suey.
There's a big demand for you in America.
Sir, he was saying that the American people
love our noodles so much that
they end up licking their fingers.
Didn't you ever realize
that you can't eat noodles with your hands?
We did, sir.. But much later.. You did?
Then?
He said, he's bringing the visa madam for a meeting.
And if we meet as army personnel, we'll get the visa easily.
Remember that you all are from the Army. Yes.
It's easier to get the visa. Okay. Okay.
Come.
There you are.
Don't worry. Everything will be fine. Okay, madam.
I am with you, and we need people like you. Thank you, ma'am.
Lunch? Chinese?
Sure.
I must say your life is really exciting.
Now, our life.
Your highness, you'll make the people of Nepal really happy.
Darling, I can never do enough for you.
Okay, then..
When will you meet His Highness?
Soon.
As soon as I return from Paris. Say it again.
How do you say it? Paris? Say it please..
Paris.
I love Paris, it's beautiful!
That's it, I am coming with you.
And I've clearly told His Highness
that we'll get married in your Paris.
Some champagne? Sure.
Tomorrow, I'm going to the Embassy
to get these medicines for the
prevention of Malaria and Jaundice.
Okay? Okay, sir.
Sir, those weren't pills for preventing malaria.
We ate them and fell unconscious
and we ended up falling all over the place.
I am sorry.
What happened with you was really bad.
But.. That's so Charles!
Here you go.
Malvika, would you like some tea? Yes, please.
How many spoons of sugar? Just one, thank you.
So.. Was he supposed to marry you as well?
No..
We are still going to get married.
I really feel sad for you.
And I, for your department.
Sir, you make it sound like I helped him escape.
I know my rights, okay.
I'll give my statement in the court, that's all.
Sir, we recovered these things from Charles' cell. A typewriter.
A camera.
4 cinema reels.
Turn on the projector. Sir.
There were two cases of murder.
One in Benares, and the other one in Delhi.
And in both cases, post the argument
the judge found that both men.. They die of innocent death.
But I am still in prison
And, I don't have a nationality.
Administration say that
I haven't spent time in India.
I've been rotting in Indian prison for a long time now.
He paid..
My son's fee. He paid your son's fee?
Am I not from the department, don't I have a family or kid?
Sir, madam has called for you.
Tell her I'll be late.
And dinner?
What? Dinner?
Get me some coffee. Yes, sir. You know, Joshi sir.
You know our condition. You know the department's condition.
No matter what the occasion, whether it's Holi, Diwali..
We never get to go home. We are always on duty. We rot here.
Look at our condition.
No electricity, not even a proper meal.
And what is the country's government doing for us?
Take a look for yourself.
I did it for my son.
Please help me, sir. You can check my service record.
I've never done anything wrong. Please.
Send force to Dariya Ganj Vehicle registration no. DLC 1982.
We've already dispatched a force to Dariya Ganj.
Sir. We found one car parked behind Feroz Shah Kotla
and the other in Rajasthan.
According to Intelligence, he is most probably in Mumbai.
I want front page or else I give the deal to somebody else.
Don't forget, this is a news about Charles.
Look, we don't need to worry. We'll stay with Charles.
If we stick together, we'll all be safe.
Charles had a plan for the escape. I am sure he has a plan now.
Bajrang, what do you think?
What a wonderful place! Why?
Coats made of towel.
Slippers as well. Right, Charles?
Hey guys, have a drink.
Finally.
Let him drink first.
Oh, come on. Cheers!
Come on, guys. Cheers! Cheers!
To.. Freedom
Richard.. Stop fooling around, Charles. That's not funny.
I am running like mad
and the three of you on a Sunday afternoon stroll.
Boys, this is my friend, Liz. Hi.
Liz, this is Richard. Hi.
Bajrang, and.. Hello. I know them.
They are all over the news. Oh then, let's party.
Not here. Take it to your room. I see.
For example, I cannot just
go with a woman just to make sex.
I.. I have to have feelings for her.
These days I'm more of a monk.
I've no interest in sex.
Hello. Sudhakar. Sir.
I am sure you've heard Charles escaped from Delhi jail.
Yes, sir. I read about it in the papers.
If I'm not mistaken, didn't you apprehend him
15 years ago, in Mumbai?
Yes, I did detain him 15 years ago.
But due to lack of evidence, he was released.
Do you remember his face? Yeah.
Can you still recognize him?
Of course. Good.
Sudhakar, do one thing. Yes.
Come to my office right now.
I am assigning the Charles case to you.
Sir. Go and get him.
Sudhakar, don't leave yet. Have lunch first.
No.
I'll have lunch after I come back.
What is it? It's Mira.
She's been caught.
Well.. Some people miss the train.
You go inside, don't be seen, okay.
I'll take care of it.
That's for you. Keep it. Thank you, sir. Thank you very much.
These paintings are beautiful. Yes, sir.
By the way, who's the artist. I don't know, sir.
Oh! These are new paintings.
Will you please find out for me? Sure, sir.
What's surprising is.. Only a few months were left
for Charles' release but he still escaped.
Charles has always been a mysterious criminal. Dear..
Psychiatrist Dr. Ashima Mehra
who's associated with the Delhi Police has stated that..
He's taken advantage of many people.
The disturbing question is, how do noncriminal minds
associate themselves with Charles?
What's so special about him that makes him almost hypnotic?
I applied for French Citizenship.. Who is he?
That is Rajan Ahuja.
Bank fraud case. He's been in prison for 3 years.
There's no case against me in India.
He stays in the same cell, right? Yes, sir. In the same ward.
Call him at the office tomorrow. Yes, sir.
Sir, I had never imagined that
a man like Charles could be my friend!
And humans.. Hold on.
Hello.
Sir, many children were orphaned in the Jehangir Police slum fire.
How many?
Sir, the report states 12 children. Oh, God!
Fine, I'll be there in half an hour.
Sir, since I was jailed, I haven't changed.
But my friends, my family.. They all changed.
And the irony is they think I changed.
And in these conditions, Charles supported me a lot.
Charles? Yes.. He helped me a lot.
Charles never does anything without a motive, Rajan.
You look nice in a sari. Thanks.
Charlie, I am here.
Goa trip is arranged for you guys.
See you at the club.
"Let things get out of control tonight."
"There's something. Everybody wants you."
"Let things get out of control tonight."
"There's something. Everybody wants you."
"I am your intoxication and you're the booze."
"I am your imagination and you're the devil."
"Your love's cast a spell on me. No one's ever escaped you."
"Anyone you touch with your sights falls for you instantly."
"When you cast your spell"
"no one can escape."
"When you cast your spell"
"no one can escape."
"Don't lock horns with me."
"And get yourself killed intentionally."
"Don't lock horns with me."
"And get yourself killed intentionally."
"My body's like melted gold."
"You won't know when you're dead."
"The fun isn't worth it."
"Only a generous one can bet on it."
"When I cast my spell"
"no one can escape."
"Let things get out of control tonight."
"There's something why everybody wants you."
"I am delicate like the flowers. I am hot like the amber."
"I am restless like the storms. I am like the breeze of wind."
"Seek me and you shall find."
"And yet you can't touch me."
"When I cast my spell"
"no one can escape."
Sir, the room number is 3505.
This is ridiculous. Sir, this is our hotel property.
And there's a British couple here who claim that
they bought this painting from Mr. Osborn St. Martin
who's a guest here for 10,000 Dollars.
"The blue bullet doesn't come with a warning."
"Good morning says the blue bullet."
"In an alley, the blue bullet was fired."
We're interrogating a law faculty student, Mira.
And we've even apprehended Bajrang at a bar in Mumbai.
And Charles?
"The blue bullet came out of a golden barrel."
"The blue bullet is on the road."
He has a hippie friend, Eddie.
He's got eight fingers.
And he also mentioned some wedding.
Hello.
Yes, sir, we just received this information.
He's been spotted in Panvel, on Goa highway.
Tell Prakash to leave for Goa with a team. Immediately.
Welcome to Goa, Sir Charles.
Your passport is going to take some time.
Did you apply at the passport office?
Keys? Sure.
Satpal and Richard are already here.
Okay, beautiful.
You're staying with my friends.
I am not here to stay.
"Sweetheart.. Why are you so upset?"
"Listen to the voice of my heart."
"Listen.. There'll be no secrets now."
"If you look into my eyes, you'll be intoxicated."
"Lock eyes with me, come closer, stop looking for a drink?"
"O Prince of the night. You are lost."
"In the dead of the night, are you looking for a prey?"
I am heading to France with Sir Charles.
We'll see the Eiffel Tower. Charles is with you.
I care for you, you know that. I know that.
"The evening's like a mystery, the night's like a stranger."
"There's a restlessness creeping over."
"I am a lonely soul, someone hold my hand."
"Why this restlessness?"
"If you look into my eyes, you'll be intoxicated."
"Lock eyes with me, come closer. Stop looking for a drink."
I had a great swim! So, how do you like India?
Yeah, I just love India. Good people around, really.
Toby?
Yeah! Hi.. I think you dropped your passport. What?
Is it yours? Check it.
Oh! Thank you. That's okay. Thank you very much.
A passport is useless if it is reported stolen.
Yeah. Hi.
Hi. I am Alan.
Alan. She kept screaming, while the groom stood
with his pants down in front of everybody in the party.
Then she walk up to me with a backache.
Stop.. Stop it.. Yeah, seriously.
I know a gem when I see one.
Beautiful!
Richard, give this man a shot. No, no. I don't want.
No, I don't like shots. No, no, take it.
No, no.. Hey! I insist.
It's a fake.
From Rajasthan, maybe 3000 rupees.
But how do you know that?
Alan Cotiyer. Gem dealer.
This is from China, this is from Indonesia
and this is from Nepal.
Where are you guys staying?
Welcome home!
And here, you can lose your passports.
"Look.. Where have we arrived?"
"Everything has changed here."
"We're in front, and the world's behind us."
"Who knows what's going to happen tomorrow?"
"Don't let sorrows melt you. This is the moment of life."
"Or you might just miss your chance."
"Live now.. Live to the fullest."
"Let there be many sorrows."
"Pluck the stars from the sky."
Hello.
What next?
Weather.
Freedom or jail?
That's home too, Macheto!
Don't call it jail.
Acid or powder?
Passport.
Are you ready? Give a smile.
Perfect. Let's go. Say bye!
Bye.
Since how long have you known Charles?
No point. Where can I find an ISD?
The club. I'll take you.
Charles being out of jail can be dangerous.
No.. Actually, I am in Goa, that's the thing.
There wasn't any other option.
It's just a few more days, and..
Yeah, he's sorting out the passports.
Maybe..
Don't look that way.
The white male that escaped along with Charles? His photo?
Shinde. Show me.
Come on.
Not too close, maintain your distance.
All right.
Stop him! Catch him! Let go!
Goa Police. Who are you? Bombay Police.
What's going on here? Leave me. Let go!
What nonsense? Isn't this our case?
This is our case! What's the Goa and Bombay police doing out there?
You know it's just a matter of time before they catch up with us.
Let's see how long they take.
"The blue bullet doesn't come with a warning."
"Good morning says the blue bullet."
"In an alley, the blue bullet was fired."
He can go anywhere, let's surround him from both sides, okay?
A policeman came looking for one of my bikes.
Which bike? The blue one.
Goa or Delhi Police? I don't know what police. Just police.
Okay, I'll check what the matter is.
What do you mean just check what the matter is? See you, Paul.
What do you mean?
No, I am serious.
Thanks. Thank you.
Cheers.
You know.. Local people in Paris..
They don't like the Eiffel Tower.
They think it is ugly, and they want to get rid of it.
Paris is really all about
walking in the streets
getting wet in the rain, and..
Kissing a stranger.
Do you know me?
Alan!
So, Charlie, is it your final decision?
Maybe.
You think we could sell tanks to Iraq?
He's listening.
He doesn't like me.
Is He there?
Afraid?
Happy.
Millions of beliefs won't be broken.
You're impossible, Charles.
He made it possible.
Hello. Mr. Sudhakar, please.
Mr. Sudhakar, call for you. Yes.
Hello.
Mr. Sudhakar speaking? Yes, speaking.
Do you want to catch Charles? What?
Look out for the weddings tomorrow.
Where? Who are you? Who is that? Hello?
Hello?
Charles!
Tawde, get the car!
Take these two out of Goa border.
I'll deal with things here. But, sir, what about you?
Don't worry about me.
The Goa and Delhi police shouldn't get their hands on Charles.
Okay, sir. Go, go.
I'll meet you at Madgaon toll.
Hello.
Hey, stop.
Stop. Hey. Why, you..
Sit inside. Inside.
Open the door. Yes, sir.
What was Delhi police doing in Goa?
Taking a dip in the ocean?
A swim in the sea?
Book a flight for me, for Bombay.
Early morning flight, come on.
'The Mumbai Police has arrested Charles in Goa.'
'Charles is being transported from Goa to Mumbai.'
'Although Mumbai Police is demanding Charles' custody'
'Delhi police is claiming'
'that Charles should be remanded in their custody.'
'What remains to be seen is that who wins this legal war.'
Charles, can I give you some advice?
You've a sharp mind
put it to good use.
For the benefit of people, and yours too.
Right?
Get ready to get famous.
Today onwards, you will be known because of me.
Mr. Sudhakar, how did you know that Charles is in Goa?
Mr. Sudhakar, how did you apprehend Charles alone?
This was possible because of team effort.
The credit for this arrest goes to Bombay Police.
The pub where we..
No light, nothing. The four of us
getting drenched in the rain.
How far were you from Mumbai, sir?
Not too..
Amod Kanth. Sudhakar Zende. I know.
Commendable job. Thank you.
You took the game away from the Delhi Police.
That's not true, sir.
I had to come down all the way from Delhi.
We'll be debating over custody now.
So, where's the Commissioner's cabin?
Yes, this way.
Please, sir.
He's Inspector Sudhakar Zende
who apprehended Charles in Goa.
And he will help Delhi police, as a witness. But..
Charles! Charles..
Charles was arrested for the first time at the age of 17.
Leave that.
Tell me about Goa.
Tell me how you arrested Charles. Tell us about that.
Tell us.
Horrible thing.
Honestly, sir.. My heart was pounding.
I was trembling. My heart was pounding.
I said to myself, 'He knows martial arts, selfdefence.'
'He's some.. Black belt.'
'He might just kick me if I try to catch him.'
That was going on in my mind and I was scared.
But I had decided that I had to do this.
I have to catch him. It's now or never.
Mr. Sharma, don't publish these things in your newspaper.
About what? The fact that your heart was pounding?
Yes, or else, tomorrow's headlines will be
'Mr. Zende was trembling with fear.'
Never. He won't publish it.
It's not worth publishing. Really?
He's going to publish about Charles.
Right? You're absolutely right, Reena.
I know. Amod, you won't believe it.
We've had to double the production of our newspapers.
Unfortunately, people only want to read sensational news.
No, I disagree. Of course. It's not true, sir.
He's right.
Charles writes those stories that can be eventually sold.
He's a writer who has never used a pen or paper.
But he uses his life.
Now, if you talk like this, Sharma
I don't know where to go.
You want the world to follow your ways.
Why should the world do so?
You're always fighting with people.
Either it's the minister or your seniors.
Ironic.
We heard that you're surrendering yourself.
Yes. I am surrendering for my country.
Hold on, this is the first interview of my life.
I want to see Charles punished.
Satpal, another question. I came down from Goa to testify.
I left my darling in Goa. I was supposed to get married.
I am sure you'll help lessen my sentence.
No. Charles doesn't believe in God.
In fact, he doesn't believe in any religion.
We were together in ward no.3.
He was a complete ascetic. And a master in selfdefence.
Back in college, he was with a friend of mine
in Delhi University.
I heard that he was not too bright.
No, no, sir.
Charles is a highly educated man.
He's studied in Oxford. He's an intellectual.
Charles is the reincarnation of Gautam Buddha.
Sir, he should be called a demon.
He has no regard for human life.
Once he swallowed a lizard in the cell!
I am sure you caught his lookalike.
The real Charles must be outside somewhere. He's not the one.
A good case study.
No!
Down there, on the ground.
Thank you.
Very kind of you.
I am sorry, I troubled you.
I think..
I'll be sentenced to three years of jail.
What do you think?
Only time will tell.
Time..
Time!
So, time must have also told you
that I was going to escape.
Just joking!
So, that's your patient.
I am excited about this.
I am sure you'll do a good job. I trust you on that.
I can't wait.
Let's go and see him.
Amod.
If you don't mind, can you leave us alone for a bit?
You smell beautiful.
So, what do you think, Ashima?
Amod, are you sure that
the person you arrested in Goa is Charles?
What nonsense is this? Of course it's Charles, Ashima.
He's Dr. Lawrence. What are you talking about?
Professor from Harvard, with Masters in World History.
And I need a divorce.
I've heard that you drugged 170 people? 178.
There was no case against my client during the jailbreak.
Maximum charges will be jumping police detention.
Sir, I heard that his girlfriend Mira
is ready to give a statement. Yes.
That's a good thing.
The real fun begins now. Let's catch the bloody..
Sir, he said we can charge him with section 128.
Please.
I met Charles for the first time at Tees Hazari Court.
Through the law faculty, we students
were sent there to watch the court's proceedings.
As a part of my ongoing appeal
in the honourable court, I would like to have permission..
Excuse me.. Quote a person if you allow me.
As per Jeremy Benson, 1789..
All punishment is mischief.
All punishment in itself is evil.. Excuse me.
I repeat, all punishment is mischief.
All punishment is in itself evil.
And they're.. Our actions are always predetermined.
Do we have freedom of choice in any of our actions?
Are we accountable? I will again say!
I think.. I doubt.. I exist.
I must take this nerve. They don't have a case against me.
And they cannot hold me against my will.
I am going to write into the immigration.
Come.
Ma'am, name please? Mira.
Sir, Charles has agreed to meet her. Go in, ma'am.
Stand straight.
Get some more limestone. I'll finish this patch today.
Hello.
Hi. I am Mira.
I write for the Daily Pioneer, sir.
Actually, the other day I saw you at the court.
I just wanted to say that
your knowledge of the Indian Constitution is amazing
to begin with, and..
Your philosophy.. When I was coming
here, my colleagues, they were..
Well.. But, I am not scared of you.
In fact, I..
I want to say.. You're not a journalist.
You're a student of the law faculty.
That day
you were looking really beautiful in that green top.
Today as well..
But that day..
Beautiful.
Coffee or sex?
It's strange.
Even in those closed quarters, Charles looked at peace.
Complete satisfaction.
Which we lack.
We humans want to change everything.
Charles never wants to change anything.
He..
But just his presence changes everything.
He can escape.
But no one can escape him.
One thing won't change, Mira.
He's a crook, he's a thief, he's a murderer, he's a killer.
That's never going to change.
In 1982, Charles donated 1 million US Dollars
to a child welfare organisation in US.
Are you aware of that, sir?
What nonsense is this? Bloody hell!
And you trusted him? Yes.
No one's born a criminal.
Situations make them one.
It's not very profound, but that's the fact.
Charles is a victim himself.
Do you know, during his childhood
there was a phase when he had nothing?
No name, no country, nothing.
His father left his mother.
His mother blamed him for everything
and got married again.
Child from a dysfunctional family, sir.
The root cause of evil in society.
Tell us only what's relevant to the case, ma'am.
Relevant?
There's relevance.
Why does anyone become 'Charles'?
Tell me. Who's responsible?
You tell us.
Society is responsible. We all are.
Why are you punishing Charles?
Apprehend his father. Find his mother.
They just gave birth to him and discarded him. How selfish.
Relax, Mira.
You need a break. No, thank you. I don't need a break.
After all, I need to say what's relevant. Please.
Coffee and sex, isn't that where we stopped?
Is that relevant enough for you, sir?
Should I carry on?
Note it down.
Charles and I became good friends.
We grew very close.
In fact, he looked at me
as if he knew me better than me.
He knew my mind.
I liked Charles very much.
Actually, I would like to correct myself.
I still like Charles very much.
And when he looks at me
I feel like having sex with him.
I've started to believing that
we didn't meet by chance.
Charles was quite selective about making friends.
He had very few friends in jail as well.
But he would definitely befriend foreigners.
Richard, caught in a drug smuggling case.
And..
Rajan Singh Ahuja.
He was arrested in a London Bank Fraud case.
Bajrangi.
I guess Bajrangi was serving time in jail for murder.
Satpal.
Haryana's famous extortionist, killer.
What do you say it in English?
Robin Hood.
He was like the entire jail's Robin Hood.
Whether in jail or outside. The king always stays the king.
Guys.
I look like the devil.
He had a lavish lifestyle, sir.
Sir, Charles loved watching English movies.
We often watched movies in the Jailor's cabin.
Metropolis.
Hitler's favourite film. Come in.
How did you become friends with Charles?
What a question, Mr. Joshi. Where else?
Right here, in jail.
I didn't know him before this.
He often bribed the jailor.
For your son's better education.
Cheers to Satyendra's son!
My mistake was that I trusted him as a friend.
He used to spread happiness
which is why I never felt guilty.
I thought.. So what if they're having a small party
with a few foreigner girls?
Nothing much, sir.
He's a very nice guy. Yeah? Yeah.
And this is my cabin.
Your cabin? My cabin.
So, feel at home.
Sir, Charles knew the law really well.
He was a qualified lawyer himself.
And he would also defend his own case.
But he would never forget the rest of the inmates.
He's helped them legally in many cases.
There should be litigation against jail authorities and the police.
But you will get bail.
Media people wanted to meet him, wanted his interview.
And he would charge by the hour for it.
His lifestory was for sale.
Book rights, TV rights.
You name it, he sold it.
Next week my prison term is ending.
My case is still on a hold.
I wonder when I'll get it.
Hi. Pleasure. Hello.
Can you cut it out for two minutes.. Just cut it out.
I have no stories.
I have no stories at the moment.
I have a few interesting stories.
Last 1314 years of my life.
I have the copyright.
He would cook for everybody.
Generally, sir, you know how dull the atmosphere is at times.
It would get boring.
So, it would feel nice that on Sundays, we..
Satpal, when I was a kid, and my mother would cook eggplant
I would never eat it.
But strangely nowadays, I eagerly wait to savour this eggplant dish.
You still remember the emotions from your childhood.
It's nothing to do with the eggplant.
You subconsciously crave the same security.
He used to read a lot of books.
And would also talk sensibly.
Maybe that's why he had so many female friends.
With Mira.. They had a different story.
Why don't you run away?
Otherwise, after your graduation
your parents will get you married.
After marriage, your husband will say
that his wife won't work.
Then children.
Taking them to school.
Making their lunch box.
You're too good for that.
I think the same.
Will you run away with me?
Done.
We'll get married on the Eiffel Tower, in Paris.
On the Eiffel Tower, we'll write..
Charles Weds Mira.
I don't like my name.
It's very common.
I wish it was Sonia or..
Sonia. Sonia.
Sonia.
Beautiful. I like it.
Just for the record, Charles had
more than 30 girlfriends before you.
Did you know that?
How many girls do you want to be with, other than your wife?
God! Or think about?
30 or more?
His thoughts and actions are in complete sync.
He's much more honest than all of us. Just a minute.
You just said that due to a disturbed childhood
an innocent boy became Charles.
Of course.
But I know many people
who had a disturbed childhood.
They lived in an orphanage, or on the streets.
Studied in night schools.
Became good people. Police officers.
So many people right here in our Delhi Police, right?
Of course. What do you say about that?
Maybe they had the ability to differentiate
between right and wrong.
And it's wrong to even expect that from a child.
Good. At least we two believe that
Charles didn't know what's right since his childhood.
I didn't say that. Don't be biased, Mira.
Don't, please.
He betrayed his own life, so what about you?
Do you understand what I am trying to say?
He betrayed his own being.
Rather than reading Charles' crime report
and blaming him for your unsolved cases
we should try to understand him.
It's too late, though.
But he needs our help, sir.
You already did that, ma'am.
Yes, he needs help. Because he's sick.
I wish you knew Charles.
I know him.
But maybe it's important for you all to know him.
Criminals are more scared of getting
caught than the actual punishment.
Sir. Mr. Amod's called for Richard.
Be careful.
He's just like me.
Can I get the newspaper for today?
So, Richard, he tells me that you haven't been eating.
I've not been very hungry, sir.
I can understand.
You must be missing sausages and baked beans.
Yes.
Do you have kids?
I do. How many?
Just one.
Boy or girl?
A girl.
How old is she?
She's 7.
Seven.
What's her name? Amanda.
Nice name.
If I am not encroaching your privacy..
It's quite all right.
Does your wife cook?
Yes, she cooks very well.
So, you must be missing them, Richard.
Very much.
Yeah.
I was wondering if you would like to talk to them.
Of course.
Now?
Is it possible? Sure.
Go ahead.
Talk to them. Let's go out. Yes, sir.
Take your time.
Amanda!
I hope they're doing all right, Richard.
I want to talk.
I was working in London, as a creative director
of an ad agency.
I came to India as a tourist.
I flew into Delhi and rented a bike.
And rode to Manali.
It was there that I purchased a little quantity of Hashish.
And..
For my own use.
I thought I might take some home with me.
But, unfortunately, I was arrested at Palam Airport.
What is this? No, there must be some kind of mistake.
This.. All just.. I..
I.. I didn't.. Look what we found.
Later, I was sent to Central prison.
And it was there that I met Charles.
So, where in London?
Regent Street.
IndoAmerican Bar.
Right.. My friend Martin owns it.
I met him long time back.
Don't worry. Relax.
We're friends now.
Here.
A gift for you, straight from Manali.
No.. Thank you.
No, take it. Take it.
You're with me now. It's okay. Take it.
Welcome home!
Little did I know
that meeting would change my life forever.
Sir, he had not eaten or slept for three days.
But today when he spoke, he kept speaking for 8 hours
and fell asleep here itself.
Let him sleep. Sir.
Come on. Sir.
8 hours!
Really? Yes..
What do you call it in your language?
Singing. He sang for 8 hours.
Wow!
Can you tell me something?
I heard that Charles' lawyer is a girl. Yes.
He sounds very fascinating and mysterious.
He speaks English too with a French accent!
What kind of a question is that?
Hold on, I am asking. What do you want to know?
I'll give you the case file, read it.
Sudhakar. Sir.
My car will drop you to your hotel. Yes.
I've to check some files. No problem, sir.
Are you angry?
I shouldn't have lost my cool at the dining table.
Did Sudhakar feel bad?
Wow!
You're fine with him feeling bad.
What about me? What?
Tell me something.
Charles has many girlfriends, right?
And you can't even handle me?
Reena, you..
How did you find Charles?
To contact his accomplices abroad
he never used a trunk line but always a hotline.
To find the motorcycle we were looking for
I formed a team for North Goa.
And questioned mechanics.. Charles is here!
Charles.. Charles..
Yes, sir, you were saying something?
That's all.
Quote your name and position, Mr. Satyendra.
I'm Satyendra Kumar. Jailor, Central Jail.
So, Mr. Satyendra.. Yes.
Did Charles ever mention about escaping from jail?
Yes, as a joke.
We all know how much of a joke it was.
He must have told you his plan as well.
No, sir.. It was a joke..
Did he tell you his plan or not?
Plan.. Mr. Charles, why don't you tell him?
Your Honour, Charles had planned from day one itself
that he'll sedate the police guards and flee.
And he included more people to execute his plan.
We were making our own little plan to escape.
But he spoke at another level altogether
where we all were convinced that this idea would work.
Tunnel is outdated, Satpal.
Escape in such a way that a movie could be made on it!
Hello. Yeah.. I am sorry
I messed up. It was completely my mistake.
Just a few more days, I am sure.
I just need to find a good lawyer, that's all.
Well, he promised he would help me get back to my family.
He convinced me that if I waited for justice
I would never see them again.
One of us will have to go out.
Who?
Richard.
Charles made a fake medical certificate
with the help of the jailor, and sent Richard out on parole.
Your Honour, Charles is a sick man.
Mira was essentially my guide.
Hi. Please have a seat.
Single room, please.
Richard had received a piece of paper.
It stated where he had to collect the money from.
And that was the money we used to execute the jail break.
And we just had to complete the list Charles gave us.
Actually, Charles had convinced us that we'll be unharmed.
He wins the confidence of people, only to break it.
Did Charles use that gun?
Just tell us what we asked.
Sir, a girl came to me along with a foreigner.
Tyagi.
I sold it to them for 35,000.
9mm, German made.
Really smooth.
And.. I've heard that your service revolver is quite useless.
Shut up!
My task was to buy Larpose tablets and deliver them to Charles.
Charles gradually kept gathering and collecting sedatives tablets.
I was coming and going as if I was a guest of the warden.
For the first 6 months, he made lunch for everyone
so that he could win their confidence.
Meanwhile, outside, Richard and Mira had
planned everything for the jailbreak.
Everything went as per plan.
And finally, the day had come.
We're on!
I think it's time to serve the custard.
Happy birthday to you!
Come on, have the custard, by Charles.
Richard played a big role too.
Bye, Charlie.
See you soon
my brother.
Hey, boys, don't run. Easy.
Only those who worked hard will come along.
Back.
Hello.
Cigarette?
Stop fooling around, Charles.
Good boy.
Take a picture.
Your Honour, I am guilty.
I would like to thank Richard and Mira
that they became police approvers.
And they've helped our department.
And our department will try our best to grant them immunity.
But it will be wrong to believe
that this is a victory for the police department.
We can get Charles a sentence of, at the most, 23 years.
Charles is not a social animal.
Letting him roam free in society is a big defeat for us.
That's all. Mira. Sangita, from the Journal.
You loved Charles, so how come you became a police approver?
Look.. In other countries, as well as here
Charles' crimes have not been proved.
In fact, my Charles has been under trial for 11 years.
Although his reports were submitted
within just four months of his arrest.
But still, he's been under trial for 11 years.
You tell me.. I mean..
Mira, do you still love him? Yes.
I will wait for his release.
As soon as my Charles is released
we'll get married in Paris, and also settle down there.
Mira, how long have you been in love with Charles?
What do you mean by, 'My Charles'?
You're educated.
You're a lawyer. Explain. Please explain to me.
What do you mean by, 'My Charles'?
I've had enough of your Charles and you.
Your dialogues! Enough!
What do you know about life?
What do you know? Tell me.
You think your life's adventurous?
Having an affair with a criminal? Meeting him in jail?
Is that adventure? Is that life?
Come on.
Wait.
Let me show you something.
Where have they kept it?
Daniela. Rebecca.
Innocent backpackers!
Want to see more? Shall I show you more?
Look.
My fight is for all of them.
I am not fighting against your Charles.
It's against evil.
Look at them.
Mira.
Look.
Charles killed them. Your Charles.
They should all get justice.
Their parents are getting old waiting for justice.
What will you tell their parents?
'My Charles killed your children.'
'I am sorry.' Is that what you're going to tell them?
They seek justice, Mira.
And justice has no jurisdiction.
No boundaries. It must prevail!
This is not a simple jailbreak case, sir.
Sorry?
It all began in Thailand.
When I used to meet him in jail
Charles told me that 18 years ago
for the false accusation of killing two foreign tourists
he was given a death sentence in Thailand.
Even without a trial.
But he fled before he could be caught.
In Thailand, if the culprit isn't caught
for 20 years, the case is closed.
The case is 18 years old.
Two more years, and he'll go free.
8 months later Charles was
supposed to be released from India.
And the Thai government would extradite him
and they would've executed him.
No trial, just death.
He sent his lawyer to Thailand, to talk to the officials.
My client is willing to pay.
But they didn't agree.
Charles just needed an extension of three years.
So he planned this jail break.
To escape death.
He escaped, only to be caught again.
You become a police witness.
I'll be sentenced to 3 years of imprisonment.
Escape in such a way that a movie could be made on it.
Charles writes those stories that can be eventually sold.
See you soon, my brother.
I am guilty.
So the jail break was just a mindwash.
So, you know.
That's good.
I was thinking after my release
I should go to Bangkok for shopping.
It seems you're very angry.
You want to kill me.
Am I right?
Very frustrating, it must be.
Your industry of goodness
runs only because of me.
You exist because of me.
I pity you, Charles.
I was hoping for some amity..
Sorry.. Friendship.
But tell me.
Didn't you ever think
of being evil?
What do you say? What is that word?
Thought!
You must have.
Are you scared?
It's only morality.
It is good to be
evil, Amod.
Trust me.
You're leaving.
I'll tell you a story.
When I was in Bangkok, there was a girl.
What was her name..
Anyway, she was murdered.
But..
Why do I tell you?
I charge for my stories.
Good, you're going.
I can't even go anywhere.
I won't even let you go anywhere.
'The Delhi Police has handed over'
'the jailbreak charge sheet to the court.'
'Day after tomorrow is the last hearing of this case.'
'What remains to be seen is whether Charles'
'is sentenced to 2 years of imprisonment, or 3.'
'Experts are making various assumptions'
'about Charles' impending sentence.'
'This is Charles' fourth consecutive
international jail break.'
Joshi. I want to see Charles' case history again.
Send all the files to my office tomorrow.
'That meeting would change my life forever.'
'The media people would meet him, all wanted his interviews.'
'And he would charge by the hour.'
'His lifestory was for sale.'
'Book right, TV rights.'
'You name it, he sold it.'
The 1975 file..
'He hated hippies. Actually, he hated their freedom.'
'Richard had received a piece of paper.'
'And it stated where he had to collect the money from.'
'Later, we used that money to execute the jailbreak.'
'And we had to fulfil the list Charles gave us.'
'Charles had convinced us that we'll be unharmed.'
Good luck for both of you.
Your Honour, as per Charles' confession
it's clear that Charles is guilty of the jail break.
In this conspiracy, Your Honour, he used many people.
Namely
Bajrang, Satpal, Richard, Mira
and unfortunately, Jailor Satyendra Nath.
Your Honour, the case doesn't end here.
Charles used two more people to plan this jail break.
And I want to present them in the court as witness.
Permitted. Bring them in.
My first witness is Rajan Ahuja, Charles' inmate in the jail.
And second, Mr. Suresh Kumar, a money launder.
This is, of course, a jailbreak case.
This is a murder conspiracy as well.
Rajan's facing trial for a bankfraud
and the key witness is a man named Sarangi.
And at present, he's living in London.
In our reinvestigation, Rajan has confessed
that Charles gave him 50,000 dollars for killing Sarangi.
And with that money, Charles planned this jail break.
I would like to object, Your Honour.
On the day of hearing, they cannot just put forward new charges.
I request the court not to take them into consideration.
Objection overruled. Thank you, Your Honour.
According to the deal between Charles and Rajan
Suresh Kumar gave
Richard 20,000 dollars
on Rajan's instruction, as advance.
Charles, here's 20 as advance.
It'll be a big favour if my witness ends up dead.
It will be done.
You got the money? Yes.
I am sorry, Your Honour.
So what if Rajan admitted to this?
I would like to know what evidence
the police has that I received such a payment.
We have evidence, Your Honour. Richard.
Richard was Charles' victim.
Richard knew that Charles could deceive him.
And to be on the safe side
Richard started collecting evidence.
We developed Richard's pictures.
And in this photograph, we can see the money given by Suresh
and the note written by Rajan.
Let him have a look.
The chit states..
'20,000 dollars to be paid to the bearer.'
Under signed, Rajan.
And this had been already verified by.. Can you read it? No.
...the forensic department, Your Honour.
I am sorry, Your Honour, I cannot read what is written on this chit.
Can you read it? No, I can't either, Charles.
But Your Honour, after enlarging it
it's clearly visible.
That's all, Your Honour.
I rest my case.
Where are you going, superbusy cop!
What are you doing? There are people around.
Mom. We won!
So proud of you.
I am sorry.
Charles was right.
Fear is always there.
We can deviate at any time.
Because evil is attractive, charming
and difficult to resist.
Child from a dysfunctional family, sir.
The root cause of evil in the society.
The children of Jehangirpuri
why doesn't your department take care of them?
Sir, you did a wonderful job for the department
by adopting these homeless kids.
They say that truth always wins.
But evil never loses.
Thank the jailor for
the typewriter and books.
Who is it, dear?
It's a passport for some Sonia Sharma.
I don't like my name.
I wish it was Sonia.
Who do you want to meet?
Charles!
