Rahman, why don't you just tell them?
You can end this torture now.
Is Bose dead or alive?
[Title Montage]
Stanley was convinced that Bose was alive.
All they had to do was to find Bose.
Meanwhile, British officer Anderson and Hayat were also looking for Bose.
Soon they managed to nab seven INA officers.
Hasan, Pritam, Gulzara,
Chatterjee, Thevy, Sahay and Rahman.
We're not making any progress, Hayat.
Sir, they are INA soldiers. They're tough.
It's not easy to break them down.
We're running out of time.
Stop!
All of you, outside.
Rahman, I'll ask you again.
What happened after the plane crash?
Netaji...
was trying to take off...
his coat and my clothes... caught fire.
But you already told us, you had no idea how Bose was removed from the plane!
I don't remember it!
-I, I forgot! -Does he always stammer this much?
He stutters every now and then.
For the...
last two days...
you're repeating the same thing...
-Again and again? -Yes.
Do you have a cigarette?
Bloody hell!
We're not torturing him, he's torturing us.
Is Subhash Chandra Bose alive?
Is Netaji...
alive?
Mister, we want to know the answer from you.
Are you asking me?
I wasn't even there when it happened. What can I possibly tell you?
Gulzara...
Rahman has told us four different versions of the same story.
Sir, how can you believe him?
Rahman is a...
is a damn good storyteller.
He tells a story with such conviction that you won't be able to understand
the difference between fact and fiction.
Well done. Well done.
Do you think it's a joke?
It's not a joke.
He is Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose!
They're laughing at us. Can't you hear them?
It's a game to them, you see.
Biding their time while Bose is slipping away.
Have you any idea what it would mean if Bose did get away?
-Bose is dead, sir. -Ah, yes of course.
The British contingent found some clues but
none of them confirmed that Bose is alive.
And I think they are creating this fear in us.
By making it seem that they have something to hide.
What do you make of this?
It says, Bose is dead.
No.
Gandhi says Bose is dead.
Gandhi, you see, is protecting Bose.
But, if Bose does return to India,
we will execute him as a war criminal.
-Very true. -And he will.
If he intends to lead his army.
Do you know who else was on the plane?
Colonel Shidei, another war criminal.
Stanley Allen, IG, Calcutta Police.
-David Anderson, a pleasure to meet you. -Likewise.
Hayat Khan.
Please have a seat.
So now you accused two people of faking their deaths.
-Isn't that a little paranoid? -No.
It's not paranoia.
You don't know Bose like I do.
He poses the greatest risk to the British Raj.
Not Gandhi, not Congress.
Right now, we don't know where he is.
And that should make us very, very afraid.
1930, Calcutta.
After resigning from ICS,
selling khadi to the British and after coming out of jail,
Bose was elected as the Mayor of Calcutta.
Hail Mr. Bose!
Now, you're the Mayor of Calcutta.
So, no more armies marching through the city.
Calcutta is too small for my army, Mr. Stanley.
My army will be marching throughout the country now.
And how exactly do you plan to do that?
It will be one step at a time.
It will be when you least expect it.
It might be happening now. So, sleep light.
I always do.
Sir, it's not just uniforms, but weapons that make an army.
Now that he is the Mayor, he won't get a chance to fight.
Am I right, Mr. Bose?
Only you can give me that chance, Darbari.
People like you never mend their ways, do they?
Hail Mr. Bose!
The British gave him another chance.
There was an uprising in Bengal and Bose wouldn't back down now.
He gave fiery speeches and joined the protests.
They are trying to infect us with venereal diseases.
"Stand up together and unite together."
"Stand up together and unite together. Stand up together..."
A rope is a rope, but it can also be a noose around your neck.
"Stand up together and unite together."
In 1931, the British arrested Bose, again.
Bloody hell!
I think that's enough.
Is he really going to use it?
I don't know.
I have a proposal for you.
All of this can stop.
All you have to do is come with me to Taihoku
and show me the crash site.
You know, I can't touch you, Rahman.
You're the only eyewitness.
The rest of you, however, are of no use to us.
Except for one thing.
Darbari Lal, everybody out.
Darbari Lal?
Now, with each turn...
these screws will go deeper into your skull.
The British tried everything.
They used a torture device known as brain crusher from the era of World War.
But, these were INA officers, after all.
They were unbreakable.
Sahay sang like a canary.
Japanese officer Isoda met them on 20th of August at Hanoi.
He informed that Bose has escaped to Manchuria.
Brilliant, Stanley!
But, did he say why Bose was going to Manchuria?
He wants to get to Russia.
And why Russia?
He's building his army.
The one he's been always talking about.
Well then, I must get a man in Manchuria immediately.
Did you know he has a German wife and child?
Really?
That cad!
Emilie Schenkel!
He's contacted the family a couple of times.
-We need to put eyes on her too. -Of course.
If Bose is alive,
he will attempt to get in touch with her.
Give me two apples.
Yes, sure.
-Thank you. -Thank you so much.
Mrs. Bose...
Mrs. Bose, has Subhash Chandra Bose contacted you?
I don't understand.
Mrs. Bose, we know you speak fluent English.
We are aware of your relationship with Subhash Chandra Bose.
-We want to speak to you. -I don't understand.
Listen, we can help you out.
It's Emilie Schenkel, not Bose.
Mother.
How was your day?
-Where's Anita? -She's asleep.
Vienna, 1934.
Bose feigned illness and slipped through the British net to Vienna
to complete his book about the freedom struggle.
Miss Schenkl, Mrs. Strauss.
-Lovely to meet you, Mr. Bose. -Pleasure.
-Good morning. -Good morning.
Please sit.
Dr. Mathur must have mentioned.
I'm looking for a stenographer.
Someone who is skilled with shorthand.
-Shorthand? -Yes.
I need someone to take dictation for the book I'm planning to write.
So proficiency in English is a must.
Mr. Bose, my German is much better than my English.
But my English is better than anyone around here.
Dr. Mathur spoke very highly of your English.
And your shorthand skills.
Good to know.
-Dr. Mathur is very kind. -He is.
What about you? How's your English?
-English? -Yeah!
Can you speak English, can you write it?
(Speaking German)
I think, she doesn't understand.
Well, in that case, you're the chosen one.
-Thank you. Thank you for coming. -Sure.
I don't think if she's getting it.
(Speaking German)
She looked miffed, what did you tell her?
I told her that, this man doesn't intend to pay you
and that he will make you work for free.
But I have a stipend. I can pay.
I know, Mr. Bose, it's just she would feel really bad
knowing that she's losing on a paid job.
You're very kind.
Dr. Mathur told me you were going to be a nun?
My father wanted me to be one.
I went to nunnery for four years.
Was married to Christ.
And?
And nothing.
After that, I realized that it's not something I want to be.
What about you, Mr. Bose?
Not my father but my mother wanted me to be married...
Not to Christ, of course. But to a girl.
I'm married to a cause now.
Liberate India!
Azidi, right?
Azadi, that's how you say it.
Freedom!
It's kind of being married to Christ only.
I can't marry anyone else now.
I am glad you told me before I asked.
1934.
When Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss was murdered,
situation started to worsen in Austria.
The new chancellor and the fear of his army could be felt on the streets.
Bose, the dictator has been shot dead.
That means now Anton Rintelen would take over
and become the next chancellor of Austria.
The Nazis will be rising now.
Subhash, how can you admire the Nazis?
There is so much violence, can't you see that?
Freedom comes with a cost, Emilie!
And sometimes that cost is violence.
The army... it turned against their own government.
-It means they're all traitors. -That is exactly what India needs.
An army, an uprising, an insurgency!
But we don't have money for that.
Come.
12th November, 1945. That's it.
Looking for him in Manchuria may help, may not.
Spying on Emilie Schenkl may help, maybe not.
But if we want to find Bose, we need to find the gold.
Follow the missing gold.
He needs it to build his army.
"The call for freedom from millions of voices."
"Look straight into the eyes of the enemy."
"A story from Tokyo to Rangoon."
"A steadfast mind makes a man get up."
"Get up, stand up."
"Freedom knows the need of now."
"He demands a new time, the keys of independence."
