EPISODE 1
A large, deserted building. The site looks abandoned, but deep inside the industrial space lies a spiffy hi-tech lair, lined with expensive computers and state-of-the-art gadgets with a comfortable living huge apartment. Somebody's turned a dusty concrete box into a veritable bachelor pad.
Inside it, a young, fit man plays a game of virtual tennis game talking to the gadgetbut soon and gets his butt kicked by his computer opponent). We aren't given a formal introduction yet, but for convenience's sake let's call him by name: MANIK MALHOTRA (-Parth Samthan).
Manik ignores his cell phone, and moments later his tennis game gets hacked and a cartoon witch squiggle bursts in. A woman's laughing voice cuts in, cackling and chiding "Honey" not to ignore her calls, while he reminds her not to hack into his stuff.
Manik snaps to attention when "Aunty" mentions a new job, although he's skeptical at her description of it being "really simple""nothing Aunty's called simple has everbeen simple. She retorts that meeting a contact and taking a package is easy-peasy, and gets him going on the final spot that it...
Manik pauses to look up at the wall-sized screen sporting the image of a beautiful island, his narration telling us that he dreams of buying a deserted island off of Panama he want . But for now, work call.
The hand-off point is in a subway station, and Manik keeps a low profile as he scopes out the scene. Decked out with an in-ear line to his hacker partner"she's Nyonika (played by )"he notes the security cameras in his sightline, and Nyonika deftly hacks into the system to divert the footage.
Manik was on stairs as he easily spots several suit-wearing goons stationed around the platform"'' Sweety they're likely to become complicationshere''he said in code. Deciding this job is too much hassle for the meager payday, he turns to leave,''i m not doing it just for few lacs ok'' only to have Nyonika remind them that they need the cash and that their market is crowding with competition.''its 50 u and 50 me'' Manik turns back with a sigh.
First, they have to figure out who these guys are, and Manik sidles up to one goon and distracts him with images of bikini-clad women on his phone. While the goon drools, Manik surreptitiously swipes the guy's cell phone and calls Nyonika with it, then slips the phone back.
With that information Nyonika is able to figure out who those suits work for, and it's one of their competitors, Double X, to whom they've lost some clients: "They think they'rthe Departmental store and we're the neighborhood market."
When the subway car arrives carrying his new client, Manik makes sure to get to him before the rivals do, and quietly grabs the contact's arm and asks, "You came to meet the Healer?" He pulls the man back onto the train, but not soon enough; the rivals spot them and jump onto the compartment, and soon Manik finds himself trapped with goons closing in on both sides.
Scene change
In an apartment building, a young woman gets into the elevator with a deliveryman and comments that the top package is hers. She takes it from the deliveryman"''ohh its 702 that mine house i will take it''and exist the elevator then darts into a stairwell to don a cap and delivery vest herself, using the package as an excuse to knock on a different apartment. Sneaky.
She knock the door''delivery for u mam''
Woman''its not me u got wrong leave''
''Mam u should conform or else i wil be in problem its ur apartment adress here''
The women came outside and enquire
She makes up a few lies about requiring signatures to deliver mail, and the resident reluctantly opens the door to sign. That's when our fake-deliverer clutches at her heart and makes a big dramatic gesture of reaching for pills, asking for water.
When the woman complies, our faker Nandu hurriedly grabs her phone to snap a few photos of the entryway, then makes a lame excuse to the woman for why the delivery is for the wrong person. The woman doesn't buy it since she's a celebrity ("Don't you know who Iam?") and our faker beats a hasty retreat and run , her cover blown.
Car parking
But she's gotten what she came for, as it turns out she's actually a reporter, Nandini Murty[Niti Taylor]. She puts in a call to her editor; she works for a low-rent tabloid operation, as we can surmise from the way her editor tries to fashion a juicy headline out of her photo of men's shoes in the celebrity's entryway. He complains that it's too weak to use as proof of liaison, and not worthy of a scoop.
''there is a man in the house i know that i snap piture of male shoes at entrance''
Boss''find more inavative its useless''
Nandini sulk heads to the parking garage looking for more to the story,as for car of owner ''surely if he use his car its Mb52h63or company than M B88j6p''she murmur the number as she look for the car which is where she nearly gets plowed down by a convertible as it parks as a man was shoutng on phone she hide behind car and sneak to his car side. She heads over indignantly to give the driver a piece of her mind, but he's foaming at the mouth over a subway snafu, and Nandini's ears perk up when he blames this on "the Healer."
Spidey senses tingling, she eavesdrops as the driver picks up a photograph and asks for a confirmation of the Healer's appearance. He throws the photo in the backseat, and in an split-second of pure guts (or foolishness), Nandini snatches the picture before the driver screeches off.and sat with it on floor'.She notce a guy in black wth vivd image not so cear''you healer huh ''she squizze in delight for a new scoop...
Next we jump to a charged protest site outside the corporation of Srajan Group, where ex-workers and their families protest illegal layoffs. Reporters swarm the site, among them a grave-looking Serious Journalist, Abeer Khurana(Rajeev Khandelwal). He's recognizable and respected, and maybe even a bit of a maverick; the other reporters stand around waiting for the official press conference, but Abeer heads right into the thick of things to talk with the protesters.
He interviews a distraught old woman who begs him to save her son, who's laid up in the hospital after self-immolating in protest. Abeer leaves a colleague to handle the press conference and immediately heads to the hospital, where he finds the son in a ghastly state, burned from head to toe.
The man has written out his story in case a reporter should come, and Abeer reads: "Please tell our story. Nobody will listen to what we have to say." There's something in Abeer's demeanor that assures us that he will treat this with dignity and fairness, and he apologizes for coming so late.
But back to the subway. For now, Healer Manik is safe enough, with the goons waiting for their moment. Nyonika hacks into security at the next subway stop and sees the fresh influx of gangster types arriving and stationing themselves right at the doors. Meanwhile the client is quaking in his shoes about to die himself, and Manik tells him calmly to trust him.
As the train approaches the station, Manik instructs his client to jump at the count of three. "One... two..." And screeech! The train jerks to a stop in the middle of the tracks, and Manik counts, "Three!"
The doors don't open. "Three!" He repeats. This time the doors do open... behind him, on the wrong side of the tracks. Pwahaha.
"Seriously, Aunty!" Healer gripes. Nyonika goes'' whoopsie'' and corrects her mistake, and then Manik and his client leap out the correct set of doors, onto the tracks below, while the goons are locked out by closing doors.
As they jog down the tunnel, Manik asks for "the goods" to confirm that they're genuine, but the client fearfully begs Manik to save him first. This goes against his policy and time's ticking, with the Double X goons now in the tunnel, continuing the chase. The client clutches his briefcase whimpering that they'll kill him, and the gang is coming at them mighty quickly...
Manik asks Nyonika for a hand, and she sends the subway train along, losing their light source. The tunnel goes dark and from there, it's simple enough for Manik to employ his super-fly hand-to-hand moves to pick them off one at a time. All the while, Nyonika counts down the remaining seconds till the next train passes through...5.4.3.2.1.
With less than a minute to spare, Manik tries to tell his opponent to pause to clear out his buddies before continuing the fight, which sounds as silly as you think if not for the very real train heading their way. By the time the lights appear around the bend, he's only got seconds to figure a way out of this.
Manik breaks free of his hold and knocks out his opponent, only to have the burly guy land on top of him, pinning him to the tracks. Oh creep ! Mooove.
The train zooms by, and then a long tense pause as we peer down the tunnel. Are those bodies dead, or just out for the count? And then, Manik stirs from the pile, having shoved himself and the goon off the tracks at the last second. He gasps that this'' job is so not worth the price tag.he will raise the amout ''
Ceo Office in Main Mumbai
Now for some rich people. Inside his palatial estate, a media takes a conference call with other media honchos. He's Rajiv Khurana(), the chairman of J2AM Newspaper, and they're discussing how to handle the story of the mass layoffs at Riser Group. Or spinning it, more like, landing upon a business-friendly angle that takes the blame off the corporation. Oh, something tells me we're in for some family strife over this, as Rajiv is the older brother to our righteous star reporter Abeer.As he keep the ca;;
Then Rajiv hears from his secretary that "the item" has been transferred, having survived the attempt to intercept it. He guesses correctly who was behind that attempt"Abeer. O my my. Things just got more interesting.as brother evil Vs good
Double X is reputed to be top-of-the-line, but even so, they weren't able to outwit the solo Healer. He's never been identified, and one of his hallmarks is discretion, in that he never asks for his clients' identities.
Manik takes his nervous client away to safety to complete the transaction, but the man is so scared that he begs for one more consideration"that they send him to America, which he can't do on his own without being caught. He adds that J2Am News should be able to manage it, and an email gets sent over to chairman Rajiv.
That means, however, that the client knows that J2Am is involved, and J2Am doesn't like being thus exposed. Rajiv files away the Healer's name and decides that this must be directly discussed with the Old Man; they can't risk anything going awry.
J2AM News
Confrence Hall
At the broadcast station, Abeer gets bad news from his boss, news desk chief Ananya Singh (Kratika kamra), with whom he is very friendly and speaks to in easy tone.They'll be cutting the interview with the burned protester, and he entreats her to help him honor his promise to the man.
Ananya understands how he feels but she's also got higher-ups to report to, so she settles on a compromise to allow Abeer to mention meeting the man, but glossing it over in a pleasant fashion. Something tells me he's not going to let that be the final word.
Ah, and as the newscast prepares for broadcast, we see that the honchos who'd called in with J2Ams Rajiv are executives at this station. Ananya gives Abeer the extra warning that they're here to see his broadcast. "Don't cause trouble," she says.
At home, Nandini helps with her father, chatting about her latest lead on the top-secret mercenary called the Healer. She knows that these kinds of services are employed by the rich and powerful to do their dirty work for them, and smells a top story, as well as all the riches she'll rake in by writing a bestselling expos.''he is best n the field conc totaly his rate of project start from 50 lac tooo,,,,,,,,dont know its hard even asing for job only if appa help''
Nandini wheedles Dad in her best 'Appa'' voice to lend her the money to contract the Healer's services (in the vicinity of 10 grand), and he harrumphs that he'll do it when she brings home a marriageable young man. She picks up a stuff toyhead and "introduces" him to Dad, which is super cute for the way Dad just plays along like she's marrying Mr. toy bheem.
But then it's time for the evening 5 news, and Nandini leaps up to catch the broadcast featuring Abeer. From the way she grins up moonily at her television, I'm guessing she's a big fan.
Abeer goes off-script during the live broadcast to tell the man's story, to Nyonikae's chagrin. Abeer gets particularly scathing, turning the criticism inward, saying that the man self-immolated because nobody would listen to his story otherwise. He acknowledges that truth"he didn't interview the man until he burned himself, nor did the station care for the plight of the workers"and states that the man's extreme act was driven first and foremost by "we the reporters
."
And Nandini's admiration of Abeer just balloons up in response"not to date him, but to be him. She explains to '' that she wasn't so great in her studies, went to a medical university, and failed all the entrance exams for the major papers, which explains why she's toiling away at such a dinky tabloid reporter . Still, she's confident in her drive and passion.all here
In an huge estate room with decoration for party and and cup cakes cake cookies on tablle with a photo kept of a men and a little girl
we meet an elegant woman in a wheelchair, looking fondly at old photographs of her daughter and of herself with four university friends (a photo that's been spotted a few times now). She's Megha Khurana/Mehra (), and she sets out a lavish spread with those photos at the center"a memorial, perhaps.
She's joined by her husband, Chairman Rajiv, in a child's room that's been preserved. He grows sad-eyed at the friends' photo, but agrees that it's appropriate since their bygone friend was the father of the deceased daughter. Oy, these relationships seem pretty complicated. I mean, in a good way ultimately, but right now I'm just trying to keep 'em all straight.
Rajiv calls his brother to wonder why he isn't here yet, but Abeer's in a heavy mood and says he won't be able to make it. Rajiv guesses that it's because he got chewed out for making yet another live broadcast incident, and the brothers laugh about how nothing ever happens without Bhai knowing.
It's particularly interesting given what we know about them outmaneuvering each other behind each other's backs, since they seem so affable to each other directly. Rajiv ends the call with a warm "You know I'm always on your side," to which Abeer angrily flings off his headset.
Then Abeer calls a friend to inquire about test results yet again"and for the third time, the DNA has proved the two people unrelated. The friend wonders who he's looking for, and Abeer just replies, "Someone I have to find to survive."
As he comes home to his spacious, empty apartment, Abeer thinks heavily that another day has passed in his life where every day feels like a homework assignment to be solved. He takes an apologetic call from the Double X Guard company for the failed task, and guesses that the job was interrupted by the Healer, "because I had initially intended to hire him." Looks like he'll be going there next... if he can beat out the competition, that is.
Abeer dismantles his coffee table to reveal that it's a functional chest, and inside is a briefcase housing dozens of cassette tapes and a note that reads "HEALER." The tapes date back to 1980, and he narrates that two points of time in his life are connected by a tough thread: 1980 and 1992. Every time he tries to move forward, he returns instead to those times.
He takes out that old photo of the five friends, growing emotional as it takes him back to being a young boy:
November 1980. Abeer rides shotgun in an old truck, his brother driving and listening to an underground radio broadcast. A young Megha broadcasts from a cramped space with her (boy?)friend, talking about news and criticizing the media in that fearless way that idealistic students have.
The broadcast is enough of a problem that the police are busy trying to track its source and move out with sirens blaring. A friend on a motorcycle signals to Rajiv, and ah! The pirate broadcast is originating from the back of the truck. The friends get the signal to cut out, and they quickly sign off.
The cops spot the antenna mounted on the truck and start to chase, while their motorcycle buddy does his part in running interference and heading off the police cars. The chase gets increasingly perilous, until finally the motorcyclist pulls off the awning covering the truckbed and flings it onto the cop's windshield, ending the chase.
They make it out today, and drink to the successful escape. That's when young Abeer picks up a camera, and the friends suggest taking a photograph together. Rajiv is the most concerned of the five"he's rather dark, whereas his friends are freewheeling and ebullient"and I'm sensing more to the story than a mere love triangle between his old friend and his current wife.
In the present day, Rajiv and Megha hold the memorial, and Megha grows teary as she asks her dead husband to look after their daughter. Rajiv lends her his literal shoulder to cry on.
Abeer writes an email while narrating for us, "My time is caught on the past, and so, I had no tomorrow. If I find that child, perhaps I might have a tomorrow." We see him writing another request for help, and it's addressed to the Healer.
The Healer, meanwhile, sits down for to a dinner for one and keeps his eye on his goal of retiring to a private island soon . His plan sounds both outlandish and entirely feasible, given the way he's thinking out the details of all the supplies he'd need.''i will take a lepord or wild anmal and raise it therestill lepord sound good as in documentry its best creature i have watch''
''But to shift i have to buy a yatch too for goods''
He grimaces at a phone call from Aunty Nyonika, and when he ignores her call (c'mon, do you not learn?), she hacks into his system to check on the latest request.of'''good client who always deposit n advance and here a new task''
Manik retorts that he's already tracked down three girls for the client, but Nyonika reminds him that they were all false leads. This time, though, she thinks she's got a good possibility for a girl adopted twenty years ago who fits the bill. Plus, it's an appealing option since they'll get paid for the DNA sample regardless of whether it's a match.
Manik isn't hopping to get on the job, but he realizes that he's still got to make more money before his dreams of island paradise are realized.so work on
And then we cut to Nandini, who explains her second dream being to locate her birth parents. She loves her naggy dad, but is curious to know who her parents were, ask why they abandoned her, and to meet them once. Just to know.

In the morning, Nandini runs along the sidewalk and thinks to herself that both her dreams seem distant and unattainable, but she'll be keeping the faith. She'll work hard, and if it happens, it'll be her fate.
As she barrels along to the bus stop, we see through the Healer's fancy info-glasses that Nandini is the one he's looking for. His reports find that she's curiously absent from social media accounts She can't be normal!", and her face gets positively matched by the computer software as she makes it onto the bus.and he spot her 
"Bingo!" he thinks, as he boards the bus after her. The bus lurches, and she falls, quite literally, into his arms.
