(gate rattles)
Doctor...
They called and said the stock for this medicine had come in,
- so I came to pick it up. - Yes.
Okay, go on.
- Please be seated. - Sister...
This is the sample given by the medical reps.
Add this to the free distribution as well.
This is an image recreated by my daughter.
Hi, Doctor.
Hi.
The eight of us...
were chilling in a bar in Delhi
when this crazy idea hit us.
(subdued music)
That's how Zaathi was born.
A supply chain for generic medicines.
That was our initial idea.
But in the very first week after we started,
our shop in Hyderabad was attacked.
We even lost a man.
A conflict with local retailers.
Two weeks later, our shop here was also burnt down,
and then the one in Indore as well.
By this time, everyone was terrified.
Gulati said we should withdraw.
We had some arguments.
I said, instead of backing off, we should expand now.
If we, as doctors...
If we don't, then who else?
We should reclaim this field.
We need to identify new talents
and make Zaathi stronger.
So...
will you be joining us?
Sir...
Can I take some time to think?
Yes, of course.
Take as much time as you want.
Okay.
All right.
(soft music)
(opening theme music)
So, that will be enough to submit to the drug auditor, right?
Yes, Janaki. But that's one of the most corrupt bodies.
RXLH will easily slip away from this.
That's why I said legal action alone isn't enough.
There needs to be a press conference with Savithri and me.
With the doctor who prescribed the medicine,
the patient who is also a nurse,
and the full documents of Keshu,
then I think we will have a really strong case.
True.
Plus, we will have a whistleblower with us.
By that time, your whistleblower would have already left the country.
Really?
Yes, Dubai.
Nimmy received an offer from the Indian School there.
When things turned out this way, we fixed it.
Sir,
we have collected all documents
using their own resources and funds.
RXLH is definitely gonna react.
That's why I thought I should take a step back.
I joined here after emailing my resignation to them.
Inside information
is that a US firm is thinking about investing in RXLH.
It's a crucial time for them.
They are bound to react.
Yeah.
So, let's move on to the next step.
Let's file the petition.
And let's consider all legal options.
(coffee pouring)
(phone ringing)
Hello.
K.P., don't do this.
Please.
Why?
K.P., you can never win.
They are very dangerous.
"They"?
Just say "us."
(coffee pouring)
So,
when are you leaving for Dubai?
- Within one week. - Hmm.
What about your job?
I've got a few friends there
in insurance.
Do you remember coming to Zaathi that day?
Yeah, Zaathi was in the initial days then.
Is that why you gave up my offer?
No, Doctor.
Back then, Mom was getting dialysis twice a month.
No one else was offering
such good medical coverage, except RXLH.
So...
And how's your mom now?
Mom...
- is no more. - Oh.
I'm sorry.
She wanted to die in her own house,
and that's the only wish I could fulfil for her.
We only realise our parents' wishes
after they have passed away.
Here.
See.
In a bar in Delhi,
while the eight of us...
were roaring drunk, we came up with...
I think I've said this before, right?
Two of them are no longer with us today.
Murdered.
(unsettling music)
Zaathi has come this far after losing a lot.
Come.
These guys are the soul of Zaathi.
Volunteers who are up for anything.
(pulsing score)
The legal cell,
investigation team,
media handling,
research,
and guess what?
Even witness protection is handled by them!
We call them our dark knights.
Our watchful protectors
and silent guardians.
The concept of a country and its borders is just an eyewash.
A lot of corporations. That's the only reality.
They react only when their millions are at stake.
The biggest criminals in the world
are the ones in suits and ties.
...please collect all the evidence and bring it up.
And we will show it to Rajiv and then decide what needs to be done.
To take them on, we need at least this much support
(indistinct voices)
- Kachi... - Yeah, Doctor?
- Hi, guys. - Hi, Doctor.
This is Kachi and his team.
K.P. Vinod.
Kachi is heading Project Vyjayanti.
Vyjayanti?
She is a doctor.
She started it and unearthed it all.
Zaathi took it up only later.
We started going after these illegal manufacturers.
Kachi almost got killed gathering evidence.
That's a bit too much.
Was a bit risky, that's all.
Yeah.
- Kachi. - Yeah?
- Those videos? - Yes.
- Show him. - Play them.
(Rajiv) This is the notorious pharma village
where thousands of companies
illegally manufacture substandard medicines.
There are places like these in Gujarat and UP too.
This case has been in court for two years now.
But we had no evidence.
Not a soul dares to break into this place.
But Kachi and his team
somehow secretly managed to get inside
and capture this footage.
(ominous music)
There is going to be a war, K.P.
A big war.
(ominous music swells)
Davis bro...
- Hi, Vinod. - Hi.
Dear, give them the medicine. I will be right back.
What's up?
Good.
I didn't know you quit your job.
At this age, he was trying to "teach" me manners and language.
- And you gave him a whack? - Yeah, a couple.
And I got fired from there and ended up joining here.
Now, I work here two days a week and in Irinjalakuda for two.
Yeah, the doctor told me.
Dr. Rajiv comes here for a week every month.
Yeah, I know.
This is it.
Tell everyone to come here for supplies.
You can give my number too.
Okay.
So, you are off to Dubai?
Yeah, Dubai.
Good.
When you're back from Dubai, grab me a bottle from duty-free.
Just one, huh? (taps Davis' stomach)
I still remember seeing you for the first time.
A young guy full of energy.
Back then, my life felt like a feel-good drama.
- Now, it's more like a family drama. - (both chuckle)
And there are so many genres yet to come!
- Okay, then. - Okay, bye.
See you.
(kids chattering and playing)
- Keshu! - Yeah, uncle?
Here.
Wow!
It's superb.
This is an insulin pen.
You can get the cartridge supply at Zaathi's medical store.
I'm a nurse, K.P. Vinod.
Prescribing medicines is the doctor's job, not the salesperson's.
I've quit my job, and I'm leaving the country.
Before that...
Keshu...
What is it, Mom?
Do you think that all this will make up for the wrongs you did
by prescribing pills for money?
I know this won't fix anything.
I have a sick daughter at home
to remind me of all my wrongs.
(sombre music)
- (siren wailing) - (man wailing)
She left us!
Antony!
They killed her.
- Just go and see! - Come on.
(indistinct voices)
(Antony) Where the hell is that doctor?
Not you, call the other woman.
- You killed her! - (Janaki) This is a hospital! Clear off!
(Antony) We won't. Just give us an answer.
- Call Shibu. - (Janaki) Make way.
Move!
Elsy, take the patient inside.
Hey, you!
Move!
We won't go anywhere unless you explain this!
Get out.
Look at me, you! Tell me what you did to her!
Who are you?
Why do you care?
I mean, what's your relationship with the patient?
Whoever I am! Just tell me why you killed her?
The patient was dead on arrival.
Please relax.
Don't you dare lie!
You snatch all our cash without batting an eye!
- She was dead when brought here, it seems! - Please listen to me.
Are you even a doctor?
Her bloody fancy dress to kill people!
Brother, please relax.
Hospital authorities and the doctor concerned will brief you.
Please don't make a scene in front of the emergency ward!
Please!
Hey, stop there, you!
Bloody bitch!
Hey, no!
(tense music)
Hey, you!
Enough, you bloody show off! Scram!
(yelling continues)
(emotional music)
Doctor, your bag.
Okay.
(ominous music)
(engine rumbling)
Do you want to see a doctor?
No, no. I am okay.
I was in shock.
I'll go home and dress this wound.
(phone ringing)
Hello?
Yes, sir.
No, I'm okay.
I'm going home.
Okay.
It was Dr. Joseph.
He just learnt about the incident.
A police complaint has been filed.
I think there's something wrong here.
People are insane.
If they can't accept reality,
they'll take it out on the doctor.
That's not it, K.P.
The patient was brought in deceased.
And I was called back after I had already left the hospital.
They specifically wanted me.
Suddenly, people started gathering
as if they had some sort of plan in mind.
Doctor, you mean...
(low, ominous score)
Yeah.
I suspect so.
(whooshes)
(K.P.) How are you feeling now, Doctor?
I'm okay.
- Sister... - It's ready.
Come and have tea, K.P.
He was your college mate, right?
Yeah, since MBBS days.
Vijay is in London now.
I know.
How many more years in London?
One more year.
Vijay is a studious person.
He was here, just left recently.
Oh.
Thrissur's medical reps won't forget your wedding day.
Why?
On your wedding day, a bunch of disappointed medical reps
spent the entire day drinking at the bar in Hotel Casino.
Stop kidding, K.P.
Did you have a love marriage?
No.
I had a heavy love affair then.
It broke off.
Or rather...
I was the one who messed it up.
That's when Nimmy's wedding proposal came along,
and, without a second thought, I got married.
But it all worked out in the end. Nimmy is awesome!
That's sweet.
(placid music)
Okay then, take rest, Doctor.
I'll...
Thanks, K.P.
Not just for saving me there, but
for handling it all and calming me down.
Oh.
(doorbell rings)
Yeah, sir?
Madam, I'm Vidyesh Kumar, the Town SI.
Sir, shall I bring the complaint to the station tomorrow?
I can identify the people who assaulted me.
Complaint? What complaint?
No.
I came here to take him.
(tense music)
You are K.P. Vinod, right?
Yes.
RX Life Healthcare Ltd. has filed a complaint against you,
accusing you of theft.
Haven't you received the summons?
No.
The court has issued the arrest warrant.
We received a call from Kochi's Kasaba station, saying you're here.
So?
We are here to arrest you.
Sir, may I contact an advocate for him?
Madam, you'll need to secure bail from the court tomorrow.
Now we are taking him to Kochi.
Can you please inform Dr. Rajiv?
We will come there, Vinod.
Let's go.
