Crook: It's Good to Be Bad Page #6

Synopsis: When Sub-Inspector Joseph Pinto finds that his foster son, Jai Dixit, sired by a deceased, re-formed gangster, has taken to crime, he arranges for his re-location to Melbourne, and has his name changed to Suraj Bhardwaj. Jai does re-locate there, and gets hired as a taxi-driver. He gets attracted to Suhani, much to the of her brother, Samarth, who wants her to marry Gurdaspur-based Romi Latti, who is also in Melbourne on a university scholarship. With mounting racially-motivated attacks and profiling ('Curry Boy', 'Indian Curry') against Indian students, Samarth actively protests - but Jai refrains from doing so - even after Romi is badly beaten by Caucasian youth. The protest results in violence, and Samarth is arrested. On the day of his discharge, Jai is told by a stripper, Nicole, that plans are afoot to kill Samarth, and he decides to intervene. He does succeed and even accompanies Suhani to the Police Station to identify her brother's attackers. It is here that the police will fi

...and found his illegal papers.

Now if he stays here

we'll all get caught.

He has to go back

to his native place.

Where do you think you're going?

Police arrested Jolly.

Go back. I'll slap you.

Go back into the house.

Do you also want to

get arrested like Jolly?

But Jolly, my brother...

Suraj, listen to me you

make sure you don't go there.

You shouldn't go there.

This is not our fight and we're

not going to get into this mess.

Think about your PR.

Get out of there and

come home immediately.

'The traffic at Church Square is

disrupted as hoards of Indian... '

'... immigrants have poured in

huge numbers to protest against... '

'... the recent attack on

another Indian student.'

'The Indian Channels

have been playing... '

'... the news of this attack

calling it a racial attack.'

We want justice.

We want justice. We want justice.

We want justice. We want justice.

We want justice. We want justice.

We want justice. We want justice.

My name is Romi

Latti from Gurdaspur.

I'm a student just

like all of you...

...who has come to Melbourne,

Australia...

...for a better life.

Last night a few

Australian boys dragged me...

...out of my tow truck and hit me.

They dragged me through the concrete

of the highway and hit me again.

At first I thought they

were just robbing me...

...but I realised later that

I was just being punished...

...because of my colour.

Because I'm an Indian.

I'm sure there are

people here today who have...

...witnessed the same brutality.

'Please, Brother. I don't

want to die. Please, Brother.'

I want to go back home but what will

I tell my family when I go back?

I came back a loser, defeated?

Brother, please!

'Sheena! '

Not just me, no one standing

here would like to go back home.

Justice.

I can't change what

happened to me but...

...this cannot

happen with anyone else.

With Samarth's help I'm pleading

to the Victorian police to come

...here and assure the

safety of Indian student...

What are these guys doing here?

Brother, I've called them.

David and his friends

have come to support us.

Till they...

Suhani don't you remember

what they have done to us?

Brother...

Arrest him.

You...

Officer...

Brother...

Why did you go there?

I told you to stay

away from the police.

But you seem to have

ants in your pants.

Now here, keep this money...

Brother, you have

already done so much for me.

How will I repay you?

Now you're going to start

teaching me about money?

Will you go

empty-handed to your mother?

My reputation is at stake here.

Don't worry. Golde

knows how to get his money.

I'll make sure I get it from

all these boys. That's a fact.

Now stop crying like a girl.

You're crying too.

Forget it now well throw you a

farewell party, Punjabi style.

We must show these Australians.

It's a fact. Right?

Suraj, there's someone for you.

Why didn't you wait, Suraj? Why?

Whatever happened today

should not have happened.

I still believe that till

Australians and Indians...

...do not help each other, understand

each others problems and cultures...

...there will be no

solution to this issue.

My brother should not

have hit David today.

But keeping mum about it also

is not going to resolve this.

Sometimes it's

better to keep mum Suhani.

I had a friend, Jai.

His father was

involved with the underworld.

Threatening people and

scaring them. Smuggling.

A few months back there

were blasts in the city...

...which killed a number of people.

'These blasts killed many people... '

'... and changed the lives

of a number of people.'

'Papa, bang-bang.'

'109 people have died and more

than 700 have been injured.'

When Jai's father found

out that the blast occurred...

...with the help of the

RDX he smuggled in...

...he decided to go

confess to the police.

He had a friend Sub-inspector

Joseph Pinto in the police force.

'How? - Joseph, that RDX

landed at my port. Joseph... '

He told the commissioner everything

when Joseph made him understand.

'Stay right here with the uncle,

Son. I will be right back.'

'Hello, sir. I made a mistake, sir.'

To get a medal the commissioner...

Did what for his medal?

If he would've kept mum, he

would have been alive today.

Joseph too never complained

and Jai was left all alone.

Suhani, I decided from that day on...

I'm not looking for any solution.

This isn't my problem.

I don't want to get involved

in this Indian-Australian issue.

You know Suraj, Jai's

father's life was not wasted.

He took a stand for a good cause.

At some point in life

you have to take a stand.

You know the world will not

be destroyed by one bad man...

...but by the silence

of a thousand good men.

You need to help.

You need to help me.

Help you for what, Suhani?

It's so easy for you to say this

because you're from Australia.

Till I don't get my PR I have

certain limitations. Got it?

And what stand are

you talking about?

You're going to marry Romi...

...because your brother

finds it appropriate.

You can't take a stand

in front of your brother.

Before taking a stand

for the whole world...

...take a stand in front

of your brother, Suhani.

Please leave me out of this. Okay?

You're right.

If you're not with me,

you're against me.

"A dude came from India."

"A dude came from India."

Well done.

Well done.

"A dude came from India."

"A dude came from India."

"He started to work there."

"Money attracts the heart."

"So he drives the

taxi day and night..."

"...and earns a lot of dollars."

"Oh."

"He has left his job there..."

"...and started falling in love."

"His eyes met someone."

"He liked someone..."

"...and became obsessed with love."

"My friends have this rule..."

"To give your

heart away is useless."

"Romeos have died falling in love."

"So I hope you don't die."

"Leave all your

troubles and don't worry."

"Just flirt, don't be committed."

"Heed my advice."

"Don't make any promises in love."

"He is enjoying himself."

"He is seeing Australian women."

"In her eyes he

found a high like wine."

"He is now getting drunk

and enjoying himself."

"Dude, don't fight the passion."

"Mate, get to the action."

"Play, a little touch

alone with the lady."

"Feel the song, Baby,

get it on, get it right."

Good going. Enjoy yourself.

He kissed her.

He went for it.

"Tell me what you

thinking about tonight."

"I want to do everything.

I want to do it right."

"May be, I can help

you free your mind."

"Open the door you and let

me in, I can check upon it."

"Let go me, I will

ever take an initiate."

"Proximity is the key,

don't you hesitate."

"Give in to the

feeling that leads the way."

"We are going to...

we going to get it."

"If you're not there,

there's no problem."

"There are other women..."

"...who have caught my eye."

"If you want to go, go,

I don't care."

I love you.

Me too.

You love Suhani, don't you?

No, I don't.

Then what did you go

to the protest for?

How do you know that?
