The sixth episode of The Family Man Season 2 opens with Sajid and Raji sailing back to Veeraranyam after taking the box of explosives from Point Pedro. They don’t bring Jebaraj back because they’ve killed him there. Selva tells them that Jebaraj had the detonators for the explosives. They head to Jebaraj’s home to get the detonators.

The TASC team has breakfast in Veeraranyam. Muthu warns them to not go out without carrying their weapons as the locals are rebel sympathizers. The rebels are like freedom fighters for the locals. A discussion follows about how the definition of a terrorist changes across time periods and social contexts. Srikant goes to wash his hands when Chellam sir appears on a cycle. Chellam has an angelic presence in the show. He tells Srikant that Bhaskaran is close to completing his mission and Srikant must find his team to stop him. Chellam also tells him that since Raji is a part of the mission, her handler Selva must also be involved in it. Srikant asks Chellam about what Local 52 could mean. Chellam doesn’t disappoint and tells him that Local 52 is a smuggler in Veeraranyam, Jebaraj. He also gives Srikant the address of Jebaraj.

It is ‘Family Day’ at Suchi’s office. The office has a lively atmosphere and is bustling with kids of the employees having fun. Suchi arrives with Atharv and they meet Arvind and his daughter Rhea. In another funny moment involving Atharv, he asks Arvind if he can take Rhea with her to hypnotise her. Suchi asks Nikhil if she can skip going to London for the presentation but Nikhil tells her that she will be needed and she must come.

Raji goes inside Jebaraj’s home while Sajid and Selva wait outside. But the TASC team is already inside interrogating Jebaraj’s wife. Raji sees this and turns back but Umayal spots her and the two engage in a fist fight. The team is alerted and a chase between them follows.

Sajid prepares to rescue Raji but Selva tells him to first securely park the truck containing explosives.

The chase continues and Raji injures some officers. But soon after, Raji is surrounded by TASC. She acts smart and injures JK and uses him as her shield. Grabbing the right opportunity, she escapes again. She is finally overpowered and caught by Umayal.

Kulkarni tells Srikant that some infiltrators went to point Pedro from Veeraranyam through an old smuggling route and allegedly smuggled arms. Srikant tells him that all this is part of Bhaskaran’s plan.

In Mumbai, Arvind drops Suchi and Atharv at home. Dhriti also reaches home after hanging out with Kalyan and sees Suchi get out of Arvind’s car.

At the Veeraranyam police station, a local police officer advises the TASC team to leave before the locals get to know about Raji’s arrest. Srikant sends JK and Muthu at Jebaraj’s home to interrogate his wife.

Srikant and Umayal interrogate Raji but her lips are sealed. Srikant assures her that if she gives them any information, they will help her relocate anywhere she wants. Srikant then talks condescendingly about  her chief, Bhaskaran. This aggravates Raji and Umayal slaps her to keep her in control. In his element, our master negotiator Srikant narrates a fake story to Raji about the death of his son in a terrorist attack. In return, Raji tells him her story. We learn that her father died in an airstrike by the Lankan army. When she was 15, the army gunned down her 9-year-old brother and his friends. They took her to their base and gangraped her. The chief saved her from all this. At the end she says, “My story is real”. However, she doesn’t open her mouth about the mission.

Jebaraj’s wife doesn’t have any information about his whereabouts. She only knows that her husband went somewhere with some people at night and never returned. She confirms that Raji and Selva were among the people who went with Jebaraj. Srikant sends Muthu and Jk to check with nearby villages if anyone has seen Selva or Jebaraj.

Kulkarni rebukes Sambit on the government’s failure to control the situation. Now Bhaskaran is underground, Sri Lankan soldiers are dead at Point Pedro and they have no idea what has been smuggled.

JK and Muthu show photos of Jebaraj and Selva to the locals and ask about their whereabouts. The locals deny having any information. JK and Muthu return to their car only to find out that the locals have punctured the tyres.

At the Veeraranyam police station, an officer informs Srikant that some people are spreading lies that police killed Jebaraj and that there are North Indian people at the police station. He suggests that they don’t stay for long. Srikant says they will leave as soon as the backup arrives which will take 2 hours.

Srikant hears bird voices outside the police station. Raji also hears them and gains strength. She furiously rocks her chair back and forth to break loose out of the ropes. The voices are actually made by the locals who surround the police station. Srikant informs the team that they are under attack and instructs them to lock down the police station and call JK and Muthu back. Selva and Sajid have mobilised the locals for this attack.

The mob manages to enter the police station and firing ensues from both sides. Umayal goes to get Raji but Raji tries to choke her. Srikant overpowers Raji and uses her as his shield. At this point, Selva and Sajid have also entered the police station. Sajid comes face to face with Srikant. Raji pushes Srikant and escapes but he shoots in her shoulder. Selva takes Raji while Sajid covers for him. At the entrance of the police station, Milind is shot and struggles for his life. Unfortunately, he doesn’t survive. Srikant sees his body and tries to revive him. He fails and breaks down. One has to have a heart of stone to not cry in this scene. JK and Muthu also arrive at the police station.

Selva takes the truck and instructs Sajid to drive Raji and regroup at Tigris.

Later in the day, the dead bodies are being taken away and the police station is engulfed by the grief of Milind’s death. Crying, Srikant calls Suchi. She picks the call but he doesn’t say anything and hangs up in 5 seconds.

Sajid gives an update to Sameer about the events of the day. Sajid abuses Srikant and says that he has a plan to tackle Srikant. Whatever the plan is, Sameer instructs Sajid to put it to fruition. Sajid calls Salman and asks him if he is still in touch with Dhriti. Salman denies it but the other member gives the truth away. Sajid warns Salman to be serious about the mission and have the girl in his possession by the next day. Obeying Sajid’s orders, Salman texts Dhriti to meet him tomorrow.

This episode of The Family Man Season 2  is gripping and emotional at the same time. It didn’t let me take my eyes off the screen even for a minute. It is a treat to watch Samantha Akkineni portray the dark character of Raji. Looks like the next episode of The Family Man 2 will show Dhriti in serious danger. I can’t wait to watch it.

Episode Rating: 4/5
