You've got a fever.
Just rest today.
Don't think about anything else.
Hey, Lana…
Lana, please don't go out.
Something's happening to all of us. Don't go.
I have to go and I will.
I have no leaves left, I have to join today.
I don't have a job otherwise.
Lana, I'm telling you.
There's something…
Shut up, Anu, I have to go!
Get better soon, then both of us will leave, okay?
It's been two weeks.
Amit hasn't called once.
Let that bastard go to hell.
Rima won't go to work.
Nikki is anyway useless.
And Komal, she's just turning into Rima's puppet.
All that superstitious nonsense.
-Mad stuff. -Lana…
Whatever has happened has happened. We have to move on. Can't--
Anu?
Anu, are you okay?
Bitch!
You aren't going anywhere, you slut!
What's wrong with you, Anu?
Madhu!
Open the door, Madhu!
Ma'am, move aside. I'll break it open.
Madhu?
I don't know what happened.
I was sleepy.
Then the light bulb blew up
and I started screaming.
Just like that?
Seriously?
Poorti,
I can't stay in this room anymore.
I feel really strange here.
Madhu… I understand.
Actually, we're also leaving the hostel.
-When? -End of this month.
Come with us?
Alright.
Let's talk about it when I come back tomorrow.
She told me that the girls on her floor were very hostile to her.
I heard they even got
some kind of a tantric or spirit doctor to her room.
Look, ma'am,
girls from across India come to stay in this hostel.
Whatever their personal beliefs and thoughts might be,
it's not my business to meddle with them.
I don't interfere.
Isn't it weird, though?
It's quite odd, don't you think?
These girls never leave the hostel.
One of them is pregnant.
I mean, I'm just curious. Does no one care about them?
Families, colleagues, friends?
Like… nobody calls?!
One girl's family has threatened to shut down the hostel.
The other's husband says he will go to the cops.
I'm tired of trying to reason with them,
but they just refuse to leave.
What am I supposed to do?
Ma'am, I don't trust these spirit doctors, quacks,
or black magic.
I don't believe any of it.
That's why I wanted to speak to you in private.
You're a psychiatrist.
What's the cure for all this?
To find a cure, we need to know what ails these girls.
Right now, we are all in the dark.
How is that girl doing?
Something happened to her last night.
She left with her local guardian.
I don't know what happened.
She'll be back.
There's something here that will bring her back.
When she comes back…
One last time.
Tell me the name of that spirit.
I need to know its name.
Sweetie, there's a right time and place for everything.
Please put that away.
I might as well go to my room.
Kids these days…
Anyway.
Ma'am, I'll put those away.
Are you okay?
What's wrong?
Sorry…
It hurts, huh?
Looks like an insect bite.
Give me one second, and I'll just put something for you.
By the way…
the warden mentioned that…
she found sleeping pills in your room.
Have you started taking them again?
I can't sleep, ma'am.
And I've been having strange dreams too.
Such as?
What did you dream of last night?
Last night, I dreamt that someone was banging on my door.
I was sleepy.
When I opened the door,
all the girls were standing right there.
Go on.
I said something to them.
Then someone pushed me and dragged me inside.
It felt so real like it wasn't a dream.
My room was locked from the inside, there were so many people…
Who was it?
The one who dragged you? Did you see their face?
I didn't see their face, ma'am.
I just felt a force.
Yeah.
Someone forcefully pushed you and dragged you inside.
Faceless entity.
I don't know if you see this, Madhu, but…
Your mind is playing the assault again and again.
No.
No, ma'am.
Others also believe that there's something in that room.
Those girls are so scared, that they never leave the hostel.
And they don't seem too well either.
I've noticed it.
There are some kind of wounds and bruises on their bodies. Every day.
Hello?
Gracie Dungdung?
Hi! Hi, this is Dr. Shohini Verma.
I think I have an idea about what your girls are going through.
Can I meet them?
I really want to help them.
I think they are afraid of something.
I think it could be something really bad.
Madhu di?
Go back.
I have to go. I'll leave.
Good morning.
Sorry, sorry.
Ma'am left early today.
She asked me to wake you up early,
so you don't miss breakfast.
See you in the evening, okay?
Bye.
Just a routine checkup.
Komal.
Where are you from?
Bhagalpur.
I came here to do a course…
At the vocational training institute.
I come from Kohima.
It's paradise.
So, why did you come to Delhi?
To see the world.
I thought the world was out there,
waiting for me.
But I felt so furious here, every single day.
I used to get up…
angry.
I didn't want people to look at me.
I don't want to look at them.
Wanted to be invisible.
Then I met Anu.
Ma'am, actually, I'm a nurse at GTB Hospital.
Anu used to work there too.
Our friendship was…
She saw me.
She really saw me.
You never thought of moving out with her?
I tried, but…
she broke up with her boyfriend and…
she got really depressed after that.
When did she break up with him?
D-December 31st.
Lost… lost her mind.
She was disturbed.
I had warned her.
That he wasn't going to marry her.
But she was smitten.
These small-town girls,
think everything will work out for them in Delhi.
But it doesn't.
It didn't.
I mean, it's obvious that the relationship had problems.
It didn't work out.
So she got disturbed.
Now what about you?
Why don't you get out of this hostel?
-You won't believe me even if I tell you. -Let go.
-Hear me out, Kapil. Please. -Let go.
Even my husband thinks that I'm just making all this up.
He won't let me see my daughter.
If I take even a single step outside the hostel…
only I know what happens to me.
She used to feel scared here, ma'am.
She said she didn't want to live here.
But didn't all these things start happening in the room
after she passed away?
No, ma'am.
It started after New Year's.
Something happened.
Those girls fought that night.
A physical fight, ma'am.
So did you guys fight that night or sometime later?
Or like… did you guys get into any kind of an argument?
Anything at all?
N-no.
The next day it started.
What started?
Running and screaming in the corridor.
Towards the end, they would lock her up in that room, ma'am.
So, tell me something…
Why did you all lock Anu in that room?
She-she used to h-hal-hallucinate.
S-she used to become violent.
Since when have you not stepped out of the hostel?
Since Anu's death.
What happens when you try to leave?
I mean, what goes through your mind?
How do you feel?
-Do you feel scared, or anxious? -Don't go.
What is it?
Come.
It's okay.
Come.
You can't stay here for too long.
Nikki and Rima's family are coming to take them.
You don't have a choice.
Come, it's okay.
Nothing will happen Komal. It's okay. Come.
Enough…
It's okay. Come.
Good. Good.
No need to be afraid. It's okay.
Good.
Come.
Come, it's okay.
Komal.
It's okay.
Come.
There's nothing. Come.
It's okay, come.
Get back in.
-Komal! -Komal!
Are you okay?
Yeah?
-Hi! -Hi!
Come in.
Bro, I'll catch you after class.
-Bye! -Bye!
I'm making tea.
Would you like some?
Do you have coffee?
My uncle is a cop,
so my cousin and I got the police to question him.
The guy I forwarded your picture to.
We found out that he had forwarded it
to the whole group of third-year students.
So, were all the guys from the college?
You sure?
Where else could they be from?
We even went to the college and the hostel to investigate.
Some of the boys had already left for home,
some were still there…
But we didn't find anything.
We found no evidence.
We could've nabbed them.
Had I been brave,
those guys would've been caught the very next day.
I also did nothing, Madhu.
I just nodded along.
Right then, all I could think of was…
to just somehow get through the night.
It was a bad call.
We should have gone to the police.
Arun.
If you stay with me,
you'll always be worried like this.
I've noticed it ever since I got here.
No…
I couldn't move ahead without telling you the truth,
but I just couldn't get myself to, what else could I do?
I get it, but…
But…
What's the point of staying together like this?
Plus, I'm dealing with lots of other problems right now.
So please, stop following me
and calling me out of guilt.
Madhu. Listen, please.
Madhu, please.
Please stay.
Don't go, please.
No, Arun. This isn't right. You…
It's okay, Madhu. I know being with you will be difficult,
but I also can't be happy without you.
I can't live without you.
-Arun… No! -Madhu, please listen.
Enough of this, please.
Please stay.
Please!
Stay.
Everything will be alright.
Please, everything will be okay.
Please.
Have you seen the wounds and bruises on those girls?
Komal gathered her courage and tried to step out of the gate.
I saw that trauma on her face.
How do you even explain that?
You tell me…
Why are they harming themselves?
I don't know.
Seems to be some kind of a manifestation.
As if their bodies are expressing the trauma and fear
that's playing on their mind.
But I know for sure…
that something happened to Anu in this place.
She left this place perfectly fine.
Nothing happened to her here.
I dropped her off myself.
Why did she want to get away so badly, then?
And why was she scared in her own room?
How many times do I have to say this?
She committed suicide.
I saw her dead body.
A report was filed at the Vasant Vihan Police Station.
You can go and check it yourself.
Who knows what happened that night?
So you agree, don't you?
Something happened in that room.
Hi.
I-I wanna g-get out of here.
Can-can-can you help me?
Of course.
That's exactly why I am here.
I'll just have a word with your family.
I think we must inform them.
Is that okay?
Listen…
It's all going to be fine, okay?
And if there's anything that you need, you just reach out to me.
Okay?
You be good.
Can I ask you something?
Is Madhu safe here?
So, then…
call me when you are free.
Okay.
A girl came to your clinic.
She was later found dead.
How many other women have you killed?
Found your son?
You bastard!
What did you do to him?
He used to come here to learn.
But he just didn't have what it takes.
He just wanted quick money.
He wanted to get away…
from his selfish mother.
Why did you kill those girls?
Out of necessity.
What do you mean?
They were the only cure for my condition.
I'm running out of time.
If you keep chasing me,
you'll lose your son.
What did Jeeva do for you?
He'd dispose of dead bodies for me.
Afterward, I'd send him out of town for a while.
Is he alive?
Is he?
He will come back.
He'll regret it if he does.
I won't spare him.
If that were the case,
you wouldn't be here.
You would go straight to the police station.
Will you sacrifice your son…
for the sake of duty, again?
Kiara?
What's wrong?
I'm leaving, okay?
Rashmi di is here to give you company, right?
Okay, bye.
Madhu!
Come, sit. I'll drop you.
No, it's okay. I'll manage.
It's okay, it's fine. Come, sit.
Actually, Bela told me that you work here.
I'm sorry to show up like this, out of the blue.
No, it's okay.
You can drop me off at the curb ahead.
Right.
I just thought I could talk to you once.
If that's okay with you.
See…
I understand that you don't want to talk to me.
I guess that's why you aren't answering my calls either.
But, really, there's nothing to be embarrassed about.
That kiss… it was special.
And you're very special.
I'm really sorry I can't do anything about it.
I'm with somebody else.
-So-- -Nakul…
I don't want to talk about this.
I'm not even thinking about it.
That's why I want you to drop me off ahead.
-Please… -Relax!
Relax. Of course, I'm gonna drop you.
I didn't want to make your life more complicated.
I just wanted to help.
That's it.
I know and I'm grateful.
You and Bela di helped me so much.
I got so much confidence.
Back in Gwalior, I was such a coward,
I couldn't even talk to my family about it.
But now…
Now?
I spoke to Arun.
They must be punished for what they did.
It's not too late.
No need to feel grateful.
I didn't have any other option, really.
Bela insisted that you stay with us.
Ever since you entered my life, my life has been hell.
And for what?
Tell me, Madhu, for what?!
Fuck everything.
I can't take it anymore. Just tell me one thing.
Do I look like a fucking rapist?
You think I'm a rapist?
You think a well-educated guy like me goes around fucking raping women!
-Nakul-- -That's what you think of me?
-Nakul! -Even after what I have--
I'm sorry.
I said it because that's what I felt at that moment. Or else…
-I'm sorry. -Shut the fuck up!
This is exactly what the problem is!
I asked you a simple question
and all I needed was a straightforward answer,
but instead, you're trying to play games.
You always seem to enjoy playing games.
You know what?
I'm done.
It was me that night.
Now what?
I used to cut my wrists for you…
thinking, maybe Madhu will finally notice me.
You didn't even acknowledge me.
You thought I was an idiot, so you decided to use me.
-You used me. -Stop the car.
I'll show you "use".
-What didn't I do for you? -Stop the car.
When I was in boarding school, I spent every penny I had on you.
Gifts, cards, phone…
I even bought you a phone, didn't I?
And you fucking used me, man.
You used me.
-Stop the car… -Shut up.
-Hey! Fucker… -Stop the car! Stop the car.
-Shut the fuck up! -Stop the damn car!
Shut up!
You…
You used to flirt with ten different guys at once!
You know what…
What was the first thing my cousin sent me
when I came back for our school reunion?
Your forwarded message!
You're a fucking prostitute!
You know that?
Fuck!
Catch her! Grab her! Stop her!
Ma'am! Ma'am! Ma'am! Listen! Listen! Listen!
-Get her! -No! Let me go!
-Grab her! -Fuck!
-Let me go! Let go! -Get her.
-Let me go! -Shut up!
Vinay, where are we gonna dump her, man?
Just a bit further in.
Alright, let's go.
Hey, hold on, guys.
What the hell are you doing?
Let's think this through.
Does she even know it was us?
Do you want to go to jail?
Try to understand, Vinay.
Have you both fucking lost it?
It's her word against ours, right?
Haven't you heard… “Believe her!”
-Everyone's going to believe her story. -Are you really gonna…
-Stop it, guys! -Try and understand.
She knows!
She knows, okay?
She knows it was the three of us.
Shit!
She didn't talk before, but she definitely will now!
So, we have to do it and we have to do it right now!
So, let's go.
Fuck! Fuck!
Where the hell is Madhu?
Vinay! Vinay!
Nakul!
You…
No!
Shut up! Shut the fuck up!
Shut up!
Rohit, meet me near the container.
Container? Where's the container?
Hurry up!
Vinay!
Nakul!
-Hello? -Hello, Nakul?
Did you find her?
No, man!
Let's get out of here, Nakul. It's way too dark here.
I'm very scared!
Stop shouting, dumbass.
If she hears us, she'll bolt.
My phone battery is about to die too.
What? Hello?
Nakul…
Shit!
Ma'am, ma'am… ma'am, listen to me, ma'am.
Ma'am, I didn't do anything, ma'am.
Please, listen to me. Those boys bullied me, ma'am.
I wasn't even with Nakul.
Ma'am… I'm sorry, ma'am.
I was under a lot of pressure, ma'am.
I am not like that.
Ma'am, it'll ruin my life and my career.
Please don't take my name, ma'am.
Please, ma'am, I'm sorry.
Am I too late?
Something urgent came up.
Sir?
He is here.
He's been waiting for you.
Did he inquire about the file?
-Come. -I went to check on that.
Come, I'll take you to him.
-Follow me. -Yes.
Sir, Ilu Mishra.
Send her in.
-Jai Hind, sir. -Jai Hind.
Come, come.
Sir, I took this file with me.
I've done a thorough investigation.
Ms. Mishra,
why are you investigating this?
Sir… I know I made a mistake, sir.
I've always prioritized my job over everything.
But, sir, I'm also a mother, so…
Please have a seat first.
Take a seat.
Sir, I was going to tell you about it.
Here, have some water.
It's true, sir.
I'll listen to what you have to say.
Believe me, sir.
I don't know where Jeeva is.
I'm also trying to find him, sir.
-Sir… -Ms. Mishra.
When things get tough,
as a police officer you must know how to
control your feelings and emotions.
That's a post-mortem file, sir.
We found your son, Ilu.
No, sir.
Please don't say that, sir.
We had declared him as a fugitive.
That's when we found out
that the Yamuna Nagar Police Station had discovered a body six months ago.
It was floating down the river in their jurisdiction.
No one came forward to claim the body…
so they cremated it.
