(tense, eerie music)
(breathes heavily)
(tyres scrunch gravel)
(breathes shakily)
(sobs and gasps)
(eerie music)
(screams)
(flesh squelches)
(title music)
(sighs)
(cell phone vibrates)
- Yes, Sunil. - Ma'am, can you come now?
- What happened? - A body has been found.
Send me the location. I'm coming.
Okay, ma'am.
(lock clicks)
- You're back! - Heading out somewhere?
Yeah, some urgent work has come up.
And what about those movers and packers?
Who'll deal with that now?
You'll take care of it, right?
Wow, people are right.
Behind every successful woman is her exhausted old mother!
Really? Who says that?
I do.
I'm going to sleep peacefully only after you've moved to Ahmedabad.
(clicks tongue)
I doubt you'll get much sleep if I am not around for you to taunt!
- Okay, bye. - Don't worry about my taunts.
My taunts will reach you on time! Even in Ahmedabad.
- Okay, bye. - Bye.
(birds chirping)
(tense music)
- (Sunil) Jai Hind, ma'am. - Jai Hind.
- A body has been found. - Okay.
Ketan and Gautam are inside.
(gun shots)
Call for backup!
(suspenseful music)
(exciting music)
Ketan?
- Surprise! - (startles)
(Sanyukta chuckles)
- Ketan, you-- - Good to know that some things
do scare ACP Sanyukta Das.
I was shocked, not scared, sir. Please!
- Here you go. - Yes, ma'am.
You'd have never shown up just for cake,
so we had to lure you with a case.
I'm surprised that Gautam was able to keep this a secret.
Ma'am, ever since we've planned the surprise,
I have been roaming around with an invisible tape on my mouth.
(laughs)
Sunil, your timing was way off, man.
I had to act outside and position that knife.
And then I was terrified that ma'am would catch the lie.
Good acting!
(all chuckle)
But, ma'am, will cybercrime be as thrilling as the crime cell?
(sighs)
Come on, it's time to spike Rathi sir's blood sugar now.
Where's the cake?
Ma'am, the knife...
- Ketan... - (all laugh)
- Good morning, Raksha ma'am. - Good morning.
- Everything is ready at the college? - Yes, ma'am.
They had some fest there yesterday, so just double-check our arrangements.
- We can't mess anything up. - Morning, ma'am.
- Our rep is at stake. - Okay, ma'am.
Any update on Tushar?
I thought he'd come with you.
All right, make sure his bytes are uploaded by tonight.
- But Sahil sir said-- - Who Sahil?
Sahil Srivastava. Good morning, Ayush.
- Good morning, Raksha. - You know where Tushar is?
I thought you knew everything about him.
(cheers and applause)
(man) Go, Shubhangi! Go for it!
(all whooping)
(man) Yes, Shubhangi!
(indistinct chatter)
(cheers and applause)
(soft music)
- Jai Hind, ma'am. - Good morning.
Good morning. Jai Hind. Jai Hind, ma'am.
Ma'am's farewell cake is here.
Everyone, grab a bite.
Okay, sir.
(quirky music)
I'm ACP Jai Kanwal.
UPSC rank 32.
And your replacement.
ACP Sanyukta Das.
I'm finally about to find out who killed Chandni.
So I thought some Chole Bhature would go well with that.
Chandni's killer?
Don't tell me you've not watched Silent Justice?
It's an amazing web series!
I wish I could get a case like this to solve.
Misal Pav is the local speciality here. You should try that sometime.
You know what they say, "When in Rome..."
You were slated to become the DCP, right?
What went wrong?
(scoffs)
By the way, Chandni's murderer is her uncle.
My daughter was watching the show last night.
(DCP Rathi) Oh!
- You two have already met. - Yes, sir.
- Jai Hind, sir. - Jai Hind.
So, ACP Jai Kanwal, I have a question for you.
Aren't you scared of filling ACP Das' boots?
Not at all, sir.
Well, you should be.
She's our best.
Second best.
The best has just arrived.
Near Pilon 47, our patrol team has found
some bloodstained clothes.
Could be an important clue.
- I'll check it out, sir. - Hmm.
Both of you.
Sir, today's my last day.
It's your last day, not a half day, right?
I'll be fine on my own, sir.
Sanyukta knows this area and the team like the back of her hand.
I'm sure you'll get to learn a thing or two from her.
But, sir, I don't need any help.
Sanyukta, I don't have the patience
to train this kid today.
Sir, he's UPSC rank 32.
What can I teach him?
She's right, sir.
I've learnt whatever I need to.
I see.
I didn't know you're here as my boss, huh?
Sanyukta, may I have a minute with you, please?
Yes, sir.
This is for your and Bheesham's new home.
Thank you, sir.
Well, it's still not late to change your mind.
We need you here.
The problem is that people like us end up putting too much
into our work.
Work follows us everywhere. It follows us to our homes,
on our anniversaries, birthdays, even while we're resting.
And then one day we realise
that no one's waiting for us to be free anymore.
I'm lucky Bheesham is giving me a second chance.
I need to go to Ahmedabad, sir. It's his dream job.
And your dream job is a course in cybercrime?
Guess I'll find out soon, sir.
Aren't you sacrificing too much to save your marriage?
I hope I don't mess it up, sir.
Thank you, sir.
- For this and for everything. - All right.
You have to come to our house-warming ceremony.
- Okay. - I'm leaving before you can say no.
Okay.
(Sunil) Yes, I'll come there with madam.
Sunil, call the K9 Unit
- to the location. - Okay, madam.
- All set? Let's go? - Yes.
Listen, I'm not a kid.
I heard the same thing last night.
From my 16-year-old daughter.
Uddhav, call the plumber! This is not your cup of tea!
The filter is acting up again. Let me handle it.
I fix huge trucks for a living.
This is no big deal.
Doesn't look like it.
- Oh, really? - Yes.
I am tired of asking you to get us a new washing machine.
But you like to be Mr. DIY!
Come on, you know I've got the magic touch.
Sure.
Here, hold this! Just watch how it purrs.
Show me. I'm waiting.
(machine whirls)
(screams)
Hey! What! Is this your magic touch, huh?
Give me the cloth! Gosh!
(kids giggling)
What's going on?
Chhaya, take them inside. Don't laugh. Get them changed.
Okay, come on, guys. Let's go change.
- Hold it! - (Chhaya) Change clothes.
Ew!
- What's this mess? - Sorry.
Why do you need the phone now? Plumber?
- No. A selfie. - Selfie?
- You look so gorgeous. - Come on, Uddhav!
- Come on. - Okay.
- It's for our Nainu. - No! No way.
- Hey! What is up with you? - Not at all!
How long will you stay upset with her?
Until your daughter realises
that nothing is more important than studying.
She has gone to study at Lavanya's place.
And besides that, Naina is a straight-A student.
- Oh, really? - Yes.
But you know who is not? Lavanya. She barely passes her exams.
- Really? - Yes.
So what is Lavanya going to teach Naina?
You're spoiling that girl rotten!
- Me? - Naina is at the age to be
spoilt rotten!
You stay out of it.
Mom told me that you're out till 3 a.m. every night.
- What kind of a job is this-- - "That can't be done during the day"?
What? A job's a job.
And this is how
- event management works. - Correct.
Then get a new job, and stop stressing your mom and dad out.
You heard that?
That stress comes with a pay check that keeps the house running.
Right.
- Anyways, bye. - Bye.
- And you! - What? Plumber?
No! Order a new washing machine.
- No! - For our house. Yes.
- No way. - Yes!
(peppy song playing on radio)
(switches off radio)
Bringing bad guys to justice is kind of in my blood.
My dad was in the police too.
Oh, really?
Before I could even spell my name, he taught me
how to spot bad guys and beat them to a pulp.
And what does a bad guy look like?
Will it say "bad guy" on his forehead or on his T-shirt?
It's not that hard.
Is that why you're leaving?
Because you can no longer tell who's right and wrong?
- Right, Sunil? - Sorry?
(switches on radio)
(exciting music)
Sorry, I'm late.
We're trending online.
One of our role models has
received a letter of recommendation from the Forest Department.
For getting 10,000 signatures for the "Save the Mangroves" campaign.
Wow! That's great news.
We should send a personalised congratulatory card.
Yes, it's all ready. Just need your signature.
Our women's safety app prototype is also ready.
- Have all the technical bugs been fixed? - Yes.
It'll be installed on our phones in a couple of days.
So, we should all test it.
Today's college event is the perfect place to announce it.
When was the last time you got some sleep?
Elections are in four weeks.
Ideally, none of us should be sleeping.
Working hard isn't the same as working smart.
And unlike you, I don't plan on becoming office furniture.
Anyway, the social media team
needs your approval for Shubhangi's death anniversary post.
Why? What does that have to do with the party?
I don't want any such posts, please.
If it has something to do with you...
it has something to do with the party.
People want to know the person behind the poster.
And we might get some sympathy votes.
Don't you think it'll come off as a desperate push for votes?
So what?
Desperately trying is still better than not trying at all.
I said no, Sahil!
Come on, man.
(dog barks)
(cop) Check there if you can find anything.
- What's this? - Hmm?
No bullets? That's like eating Pani Puri without the potatoes.
(sighs)
Pani Puri here is made with white peas.
And we usually use our brains to investigate, not our bullets.
Did I hit a nerve there?
- Jai Hind, ma'am - Jai Hind.
Ma'am, a few bird watchers were here this morning,
and they found this.
Also, we found fresh blood there.
- Doesn't look too old. - Shinde...
Can you turn on the subtitles? I'd like to get in on this action.
A group of bird watchers found this today,
and they also found fresh blood there.
Didn't they teach you Marathi in training?
Ma'am, we found this as well.
Good.
Find a C-type cable and put this for charging.
- Check if the phone switches on or not. - Okay, ma'am.
You could've looped us in after sending this to the forensics.
Didn't they teach you these protocols in training?
Forensics would've taken forever. Good that you called us first.
- Good job, Shinde. - Thank you, ma'am.
Looks like a knife wound, right?
And this hoodie belongs to someone from Elouis College.
Let's not waste time
and head straight to the college. We'll get our answers there.
- (Shinde) Okay, sir. - (Jai) Come on.
- Shinde, what's up ahead? - Ma'am...
I'm talking about heading to college,
and she wants to complete her 10K steps.
Absurd!
Where were you last night?
With you at the party dinner.
After dinner, you just disappeared.
You know I hate these parties.
Chaturvedi and Halkar started their usual argument
about whose Alibaug holiday home is bigger.
I had a headache, so I left early.
I tried calling and texting you, but you never replied.
My phone was in the living room.
- I even came to your hou-- - If you move in with me,
then all these problems will be over.
(door creaks)
Here are the real estate survey reports.
Around 30%
of Navi Mumbai's residents are migrants.
Grand Uncle Pradeep Bhosale only cares about the locals.
Make sure you mention in all your interviews
that our party's motto has always been
"One India for All Indians," okay?
Any update on the street-light report we commissioned?
Not yet. I'll follow up on that.
I know it's crucial for our women's safety proposal.
Prerana Shakti party is ready to discuss the alliance with you.
- Their leader, Jhanvi Kulkarni... - Oh, yes!
- She seems very interested. - Lovely.
Have you ever heard of the saying?
"Runs with the hares and hunts with the hounds"?
That's Jhanvi Kulkarni for you.
Have you heard of the saying?
"Beggars can't be choosers"? We need her.
FYI, we are not beggars. We don't need her.
And we cannot bank on Jhanvi's alliance.
Then what can we bank on?
The app you've been working on for a month that's still not ready?
- It's an app-- - One second... Hold on.
Look, neither of you are wrong, okay?
Sahil, you focus on our non-Marathi vote bank.
Raksha, set up a meeting with Jhanvi.
Cool, nice.
- Sahil. - Yeah?
Listen, don't worry.
I have a good feeling about this alliance.
Yeah.
So, where were we? Shall we move in?
Oh, so you want your affair
with the campaign in-charge all over the news?
Let's win the election first, then I'll leak a photo myself.
What if I don't win?
I never lose.
Lost your way, did you?
- Any idea how deep this is? - Why? Are you planning to dive in?
- Shinde? - Pretty deep. Around 25-30 feet.
Call for the divers. Check the quarry.
Divers? For what?
Are you even listening to me?
We should go to the college.
Let's go.
Shinde, check this whole area with sniffer dogs.
Okay, ma'am. Come on.
(sniffs)
I know you are the star cop of this place,
but I'm not some sidekick.
This is my case. And trust me, you are wasting our time.
Well, I'm still in charge till the evening. Got it?
This case is all yours from tomorrow. You can do what you want with it. Fine?
Here's what you should do. Go home and pack your bags,
or you'll miss your flight for no reason.
Maybe spend some time with your daughter too.
(scoffs)
Blah blah blah!
A bad taste in music and a smart mouth.
Feels like I've been with my daughter all day.
I see.
(Sanyukta) Shall we go to the college now?
Seven hours? I'll get through it.
(emcee) Students, please welcome
Nayi Soch Party leader, Mr. Tushar Surve.
Thank you, everyone. Thank you so much.
Thank you. Lovely to meet you.
- Hello, sir. - Thank you. Thanks for coming.
Thank you, everyone. Thank you for coming.
(Pradeep) Youth leader Tushar Surve.
(applause)
Youth.
(chuckles)
I hear you've already won the election on social media?
You could've done it too, Mr. Pradeep.
All you need is to connect with the youth a little better.
I've been in power for years now.
Just stay out of my way this election.
Let me win this one.
Next time, I'll make sure that you win.
Promise!
I know better than to believe in a politician's promises.
Too bad our politics and principles don't align.
I've heard you're making an app for women's upliftment.
Am I right?
(chuckles)
That's good.
It's important for the voters to think
that their leader genuinely cares for them.
I'll take your leave. Come on.
How does Bhosale know about our app?
Only our internal team knows about this.
No chance that this news got out.
Looks like it's already out.
Take one more. Young voters need to understand
that our vision might be different, but our intentions are the same.
Mr. Pradeep, Mr. Tushar, we need to delay the programme for a bit.
- Is everything okay? - What's the matter?
Given the hoodie's condition, we decided
that it's best to talk to the college students first.
- So-- - Sure.
Since it's a mandatory attendance day, everyone is present.
Please go ahead.
- Sorry, please excuse me. - Sure.
- (cell phone rings) - Jai...
Ma'am, four students are absent.
Hi! Have you reached college?
(Bheesham) I've been here since morning.
You'll really love this place.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
Well, I called because
I was doing the web check-in for your flight,
and it's running quite late.
So, I thought I'd order Chinese for dinner.
That's Mahi's favourite, right?
It's not her favourite anymore.
- Keep up. - Really?
Then shall I order some pizza?
Everyone likes that, right?
Yeah, sure.
Is she fine?
She hasn't answered my calls. Is she upset?
She's 16, Bheesham.
We should be worried if she's not upset with us.
And when does she ever charge her phone?
Poor thing. We're making her move cities, to a new school.
She's definitely upset with us.
- Yuki... - I'm out for some work.
I'll call you later?
Okay. I'll see you tonight.
Okay, bye.
Last night was the college fest. Everyone was here.
He is saying that four students from his class are absent today.
- Okay. - Hello, ma'am.
I'm Randhir Jha. I teach communicative studies.
Four students are absent today.
Naina Marathe, Ojas Adhikari, Aarav Tripathi and Lavanya Sawant.
Naina has also started bunking classes with them?
What happened?
All okay?
Why have you gone all pale?
Actually...
Please send me their contact details and addresses.
We'll follow up.
- And-- - Can anyone tell us
when is this programme starting?
Sir, I'd request you to
- cancel today's programme. - What?
Your cooperation in our investigation
is crucial. Please, sir.
What's going on? Has it really come to this?
A policewoman is going to tell us what to do.
The students that are here are fine, right?
So, what's the point of postponing the programme?
These students might have some crucial information.
In such cases, the first 24 hours
are extremely critical for us to solve the case.
Yeah, I know. In such case, the first 24 hours
are absolutely critical for the police to screw up the case.
Well, I'm sure we can postpone the programme to another day.
We wouldn't want to hamper the investigation in any way.
Right... Mr. Pradeep?
All right then. Can't say no to the college trustee, I guess.
- Okay. Thank you, sir. - Okay.
Jai.
Naina Marathe's phone is switched off.
Lavanya and Ojas didn't pick up.
Aarav cut my call
and texted me, "Will call you later."
Hmm.
Send Sunil to Lavanya Sawant's house.
We'll head to Naina Marathe's house.
Right, that makes sense.
Because boys can't be victims of crimes.
Of course they can be.
But what are the odds that an 18-year-old boy
would wear an extra-small hoodie?
Bhonsle had it right.
A policewoman will tell us what to do.
(doorbell rings)
- (Sanyukta) Namaste. - Namaste.
Is Naina Marathe in?
Who are you?
Are you Naina's mother?
Yes, I'm her mother. But who are you?
I'm ACP Das, and this is ACP Kanwal.
- From the crime cell. - Crime cell?
Is Naina at home?
No, she's not at home.
She went to Lavanya's house last night.
They both went to college from there. She must be in college.
- Ma'am, Naina is not in college. - What!
(tense music)
(IVR) The number you are calling...
Her phone is also off. Maybe she forgot to charge it.
When did you last speak to Naina?
Last night, around 7:30 pm.
She had gone to her friend Lavanya's house to study.
She was supposed to head to college from there.
(Payal) Lavanya might've told her to bunk. I'll call her right now.
(tense music)
- Is that Naina? - Yes.
Does Naina still have that blue phone?
No, she has a white phone now.
We bought that smartphone for her last month.
But why are you asking about Naina?
(cell phone rings)
Yes, Sunil.
I checked. Lavanya Sawant is at her house.
What about Naina?
(indistinct chatter)
Okay.
(suspenseful music)
Ma'am, do you know Ojas Adhikari or Aarav Tripathi?
They were with Naina at the fest last night.
What fest?
I threatened the showroom guy to get the delivery today.
(laughs silently)
You should've seen him. He was shit scared!
Naina will be thrilled when she sees the scooter.
And Payal definitely won't be. She's going to send me to bed
hungry tonight. So I'm eating while I can.
(both laugh)
(cell phone rings)
- Yes, Payal. - Uddhav, the police are here.
They're asking about Naina.
She's not at her college
and they're asking about some Aarav and Ojas.
I just don't get it.
This girl is going to drive me crazy someday!
Shh! Okay, calm down.
Listen, I know exactly where she'll be.
You hang up. I'll call you back.
Make it quick.
- What happened? - If Naina's with that guy again,
even I won't be able to save her from her mother this time.
She promised last time. She wouldn't do that again.
Hey, just take the scooter home!
Calm down!
(suspenseful music)
Hey, open the door!
(doorbell rings)
Ojas! Open the door!
(Ojas) Shit! We're screwed, babe!
Open the door!
- (girl) Shit! Who's that? - Get inside. I'll handle this.
(doorbell rings)
(cell phone chimes)
Mrs. Marathe, does Naina have any birthmarks?
Birthmark?
- (cell phone rings) - Just a minute.
(Uddhav) Hello. Payal, I've found Naina.
You found her!
- I'll call you back. - Okay. Hurry up.
Ma'am, Naina's been found.
Thank God!
Uncle!
You! Move aside!
- Where is Naina? - I told you I don't know!
She left the fest early last night.
She hasn't responded to any of my messages since morning.
Looks like some extra-small
hoodie-wearing boy might be in trouble because of you.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
(cell phone rings)
Yes, Sunil.
In the quarry? I'm on my way.
(cell phone rings)
Let me talk to Naina.
She's not here.
What do you mean?
The cops were asking about her birthmarks,
and then they said something about a quarry and left.
Uddhav, where is Naina?
Calm down, just relax. Let me figure this out. Okay?
God help us!
Hello. Vinayak, speak to your friend Inspector Shinde
and ask him where the investigation is happening.
(tense music)
- Open the trunk. - Pandey, open the trunk.
(tense music)
What's her name?
Sanyukta Das.
Okay. Let me check.
I am here to meet ACP Sanyukta.
(Uddhav) No. Shinde told me to come here.
- What's going on here? - (cop) Stay right here.
Who's this man? Stop him.
- Move back. - I just want to see what happened.
What's going on? Uddhav, tell me.
I want to talk to Sanyukta ma'am.
- I just-- - Please wait right here.
(indistinct chatter)
- I need to see what happened. - Nothing's happened.
What's this?
Uddhav? Uddhav, talk to me.
Naina--
Is that... is that my daughter, Naina?
(indistinct chatter)
- Is that Naina? - Is she Naina?
Hey, stop.
Tell me, is that my daughter Naina?
- Calm down. - Is it Naina?
- You can't go there. - Is that my Naina?
- You can't go there. - (indistinct chatter)
Naina! My baby!
Is it Naina?
Payal, Naina is gone!
Uddhav, what are you saying?
She's my daughter!
Just tell me! Is it Naina?
Naina!
Leave me! Let me go! I'm her father!
Leave me! She's my daughter!
(cries inconsolably)
(emotional music)
(Uddhav) Leave me! Let me go! I'm her father!
Ma'am, from what I can tell, she was killed last night.
I can only confirm the exact time of death after the examination.
From the injuries on her foot,
it looks like she ran barefoot, through the jungle to save herself.
Why would someone run this way to save themselves?
I bet this place looks like
a horror film set at night, right?
Men fear the dark.
And women fear men.
(IVR) The number you are calling is out of the network coverage are.
(sobs)
(thrilling music)
