(sighing on video)
It's morning already?
You've been watching this all night?
Hmm.
(tense music)
You're the one who said that Ojas is innocent.
Just so you know, Ojas and Aarav shared this video
on a boys' group.
There's something off about this video.
Oh, come on! What is it?
Watching it over and over won't change anything.
But why would they share this video?
This is evidence against them.
Boys do such things just to flex in front of each other.
You hear that?
What?
(suspenseful music)
The sound of your overconfidence crashing.
(sighs)
It's been three days now.
So far, the cops haven't made any arrests.
And I don't think they plan to do so either.
- (reporter) You think you'll get justice? - (sobs)
I don't think my daughter will ever get justice.
(sobs)
(title music)
Scandals are a part of politics.
You shouldn't judge the entire party by one scandal.
Honestly, I'm not too keen on ending the alliance either.
But I'm helpless.
Tushar, political scandals are just like forest fires.
One spark is enough to
burn the entire jungle.
- I understand. - But we are linked to this case
only because the body was found in our campaign car.
We've already filed an FIR for its theft.
Yes, and once the culprit is caught,
this will all be over, Ms. Jhanvi.
But that could take weeks, or even years.
In this case, our party should avoid taking such risks.
No doubt it's risky. For us as well.
So, have you stashed Rs. 650 crore
in the British Virgin Islands, or is it Rs. 6,500 crore?
Excuse me?
Well, your name didn't appear in the latest leak list.
But who knows about the next one?
Maybe then Mr. Pradeep
would rethink his alliance with you.
Ultimately, you'll be the one begging us.
Now, that won't look nice, will it?
(tense music)
(scoffs)
I thought Mr. Surve only believed in clean politics.
You seem to be thriving in this muck.
(solemn music)
(sad music)
(Sanyukta) Did we get the results on the blood found in the storeroom?
I was just coming to meet you, ma'am.
Turns out the blood is O positive.
And Naina's blood group is B positive, right?
Yes, ma'am. And one more thing.
The glass pieces found in Naina's hair
doesn't match the bottle fragments from the storeroom.
Check this video.
- You see this flicker? - Yes.
Doesn't this seem unnatural?
Ma'am, you mean this video has been digitally manipulated?
Could be. Might be a deepfake.
Naina's face morphed on someone else's body.
Ma'am, if that's not Naina in the video,
then who is it?
The one whose blood group is O positive.
(eerie music)
Good morning!
Take that off.
Come, let's go for a drive.
- What do you mean? - Get in now!
Get in!
Where exactly are we going?
Don't worry. You've been there before.
(suspenseful music)
Now, tell me honestly.
What exactly happened that night?
(upbeat music)
Fuck off, Aarav!
Whoa! This aggression ain't any good, bro.
Lav, why don't you help your bestie?
- With what? - To get that stick out of her ass.
(laughs)
(upbeat music)
Naina.
Don't ever ask me to hang out with those guys again!
Relax, they were just kidding.
- Whatever. - I need to tell you something.
What?
Tell me quick. I have to get out of here in five.
I kind of have a crush on Ojas.
Really? Ojas?
He's a jerk.
That's rich coming from you.
He's your ex-boyfriend, right?
Which is exactly why you should believe me when I tell you
that he's a big asshole.
Right.
You know why Ojas and I broke up?
Like you tell me anything anymore.
He forced himself on me.
What?
When I was at his house, he spiked my drink and then--
He would never do that to anyone.
I had to call Dad there to pick me up.
If he hadn't come to get me, then--
Ojas is a really nice guy.
You're just a jealous bitch, Naina.
Lav.
Ojas is waiting for you.
I guess he likes you.
(suspenseful music)
(Sanyukta) Did they force you?
No.
I wanted to prove Naina wrong.
And I liked Ojas.
When Aarav said that Ojas also liked me back,
I was so stoked.
I got shit drunk.
We started making out, and...
things got heated.
I thought Aarav went back to the fest.
(sobs)
He was there recording us.
- Aarav! - Hey, Aarav! Stop it, you asshole!
(sobs)
When I saw it, I went to snatch the phone and...
tripped over some beer bottles.
(Ojas) Shit! Please!
(grunts)
Now you remember? Or should I remind you?
Please, sir, please...
(Lavanya) Aarav and Ojas freaked out.
My hand was bleeding heavily.
So they took me to
Ojas' father's clinic in Aarav's car.
Hmm.
Aarav promised...
and yet he sent that damn video to some boys.
But when I realised
that they used a deepfake app
to swap my face with Naina's
as part of their stupid, twisted revenge plan...
I was relieved.
I'm not a bad person, you know.
I just wanted to get back at her.
And I ended up putting myself in this stupid position.
I deserve this, I guess.
Nobody deserves this, Lavanya.
You trusted someone, and they violated that trust.
It's their fault, not yours.
I just wish you'd said this earlier.
Naina had changed over the past few months.
What do you mean?
I mean, she seemed a little off.
Distracted in classes. Sleepovers became regular at my place.
Like, twice a week.
She used to come really late at my place.
She was acting shady.
Meaning?
Wow! So your mom's finally okay with late-night sleepovers now.
So, what? Is she a cool mom now?
Yeah.
(cell phone rings)
Whose phone is that?
It's mine. Who else would it be?
I really need to pee. Just a second.
But your phone is...
(door clicks shut)
(suspenseful music)
Ticket to Vashi?
But Naina used to stay in Nerul, right?
Exactly. I kept it, thinking that I'd ask her later.
I've no clue why she got that second phone.
But she was on it all the time.
She used to get calls late at night.
- I think it was some guy. - Who?
No clue.
(cell phone rings)
Here! It's your messiah.
(grunts)
- Sir! - Without any evidence,
unofficially, you dragged Ojas to the place
where Naina's body was found.
Are you out of your mind?
Sir, I was just doing my job.
It's the only way I could think of to get to the truth.
Ojas' father is the CM's surgeon.
You have any idea how well-connected he is?
If he flips, then you're in so much trouble.
You don't even know!
"Just doing my job."
This is how you lead your team, Das?
We have to solve this case carefully.
It's important.
And you just toss protocols aside
because that's a waste of time for you.
Ridiculous!
You should be suspended for doing this.
Ultimately, our alliance is sorted. Doesn't matter how it happened.
It matters to me, Raksha!
My party actually stands for something.
I just don't say things for social media and interviews.
What's the point of these values if we end up failing?
If you're ready to trade your principles just for winning,
then you are in the wrong party.
- Okay, I'm sorry. I get it. - Whatever.
Well, I've set up a poster shoot today.
With our role model. He'll be here soon.
He's a professor at our college.
And I was thinking...
I was thinking we could announce the new points
of our education proposal for the underprivileged tomorrow.
You know I want to see you win, right?
I did this just for you.
(soft music)
The police have left.
They had come to search Naina's room.
I think we should send Tanu and Anu
to Chhaya's place for a few days.
The police will keep coming here.
At this age, kids soak up everything.
Everything leaves a mark on their minds.
If they keep seeing all this...
Any update on the case?
Payal is right.
The cops aren't clean either.
They will never arrest a big shot.
Right.
If the police can't, then we can handle this ourselves.
- No, it's okay... - Tie them up
- behind a truck like we used to-- - Hey!
(shouts) Will that bring my daughter back?
When were you going to tell me that the video is fake?
Why didn't you tell me that you took Ojas for questioning?
Why should I?
Do you ever tell anyone what's on your mind?
It's like you've built a wall around yourself.
And no one knows what's on the other side.
And I'm tired of banging my head on that wall.
And we're not a team.
(chair rattles)
- Do your work! - Sorry, sir.
I've been on my own since I was a kid.
Only child.
Both my parents were working.
I'm so used to being dependent on myself
that I could never shake this habit off.
Two years back, I realised that this habit might have
ruined my personal life.
Today I realised that this habit
might be ruining my professional life as well.
Have some coffee.
(soft music)
Thank you.
There's no sugar in this.
Now, I'll tell you what happened that night.
Naina brought extra clothes to the fest.
So she clearly had plans to go somewhere else.
Her phone died at 8 p.m.
But she never charged her phone.
Why? Because she had another phone.
And whoever Naina was planning to meet
had her other number.
We never saw Naina leaving on the CCTV
because there's no CCTV at the back gate.
(suspenseful music)
She didn't tell anyone where she was going that night.
There must be a reason for that.
Could be a boyfriend?
Hmm. Quite possible.
But not a college boyfriend like Ojas.
She could've met her college boyfriend at the fest.
And a second phone, just to talk to her college boyfriend?
Exactly.
Maybe she got the second phone for someone
who didn't want Naina to call him from her regular number.
Maybe someone she wasn't supposed to be with
or someone way older than her.
Maybe married?
(suspenseful music rises)
(claps)
See, this is how you clap when someone shares their theory.
At least the theory should be commendable.
Okay, Naina's home and college are in Nerul.
But she kept going to Vashi. Why?
And we never found the bag Naina brought to the fest, right?
Oh! That reminds me. I forgot to show you something.
What?
Shinde found this bag in Naina's cupboard.
It's worth at least Rs. 4 lakh.
It's not easy to get one. There's a waiting list for this.
How do you know?
You don't keep up with the latest fashion reels online?
No.
I think the guy she met that night
gifted this bag to Naina.
This bag, the other phone, those trips to Vashi...
It's surprising how clueless her parents were.
Have you met Naina's mom?
She's like a principal.
And kids with strict parents
turn out to be the biggest liars.
Jai, I'm going home for a bit.
- You'll manage? - Sure.
Look how weak my child has become.
- All because of this man! - Dad!
Give this to the priest.
Payal got so many marriage proposals.
Doctors, engineers... But no!
Payal left everything behind for this man.
What's his fault in this?
In fact, no one's at fault here.
It's our fault!
That we didn't stop her back then.
And this man...
could neither take care of our Payal
nor his own daughter.
This could've happened with anyone.
And instead of supporting them,
why are you digging up the past?
Nandini, tell her...
not to talk to me.
She better stay quiet.
(melancholic music)
Mahi, I need to talk to you about yesterday.
(sighs)
Mahi? Mahi! I'm talking to you.
- Mom, what is wrong with you? - What is wrong with you?
First those selfies, then staying out till 1 a.m.
I can't recognise you anymore!
Do you have a second phone?
Second phone? What are you talking about?
Look, as your mother, I want you to understand
what's right and wrong for you.
It's wrong to click such pictures, Mahi.
Really, Mom? You're investigating a rape case.
The country's in a dilemma on how to end rape culture.
And look at you, passing judgements on my harmless photos.
- These aren't harmless. - As women, is it such a taboo
to feel free with our bodies?
This is also a part of the rape culture.
Do you even know what rape culture means?
Yes, better than you.
- Come back here, Mahi. - By the way, while you're busy
giving me a moral science lecture, everyone's saying
that you are backing Tushar Surve in this rape case?
- What? - My friends are looking at me
really weird, Mom.
I'd rather stay with Dad
where no one knows that you're my mom.
- Now, give me back my phone. - You won't get this phone
until you tell me why you clicked those photos.
- You know what? Fine! - Fine!
(door thuds)
(cell phone buzzes)
(cell phone rings)
- (Ketan) Hello? - Ketan, you can unlock a phone
without its password, right?
Yes, ma'am.
Okay, I'll bring the phone to you. Okay?
Is it related to the case?
No, it's not.
Okay, thanks. Bye.
(sobs)
(soft music)
Jai, let's go.
Falooda for you.
- Thanks. - You said Naina used to
often go somewhere, right? Where?
- Vashi? - Yes, let's go.
Where?
Vashi. Get in, get in.
(suspenseful music)
Why are we here?
Have you heard of this app called PicTribe?
PicTribe? Mahi had mentioned it. Why?
It's quite famous.
The boys who gave me Lavanya's video said that
college students are hooked onto this app.
- Yes. - Everything is shared privately.
Strange that an app this popular wasn't on Naina's phone.
I thought that was fishy. So, I checked.
Turns out she had the app, but she deleted it.
You can delete an app from the phone,
but it leaves its traces in the phone's memory.
Hmm.
When we downloaded this app, look what we found.
Isn't he Naina's college professor?
A professor chatting privately with his student so often.
Isn't that strange?
- Can't we access these chats? - That's the problem.
All chats on this app get deleted within 24 hours.
But my theory is he's much older than Naina.
He's married and is someone inappropriate for her.
Hmm.
Randhir stays here?
Yes, in one of these flats.
Let's go.
He's the only professor
in the entire college who stays in Vashi.
Hmm.
Randhir's got a colourful past.
He was fired from his previous college
because he had an affair with one of his students.
Oh!
Where's that girl now? Any idea?
- Hello, Ms. Supriya. - Hello.
- You're Randhir's wife, right? - Yes.
Who are you?
We're from the Crime Cell.
I'm ACP Kanwal. This is ACP Das.
Is Randhir at home?
No, he has gone out.
Never mind. We'll talk to you then.
But...
Where was Randhir on Sunday evening?
Randhir and I were in Lonavala.
Actually, we're getting our house painted.
And the smell makes me dizzy.
That's why we left for Lonavala on Friday.
I see.
So, he didn't attend the college fest?
Actually, he really didn't want to miss it.
But you know, dad duties.
Responsibilities.
When did you come back?
Monday morning at 8 a.m.
Ms. Supriya, may I use the washroom?
Yeah, of course.
Just take a left from here.
So...
Good job with the house painting.
All set for the newborn?
(Supriya) Yes, we're setting up our house in Lonavala.
(Jai) Lonavala? Great!
(suspenseful music)
You found this photo at Randhir's house?
So, Randhir Jha and Tushar Surve know each other?
That's how this teacher
managed to gift a bag worth 4 lakhs.
I also found this plastic tie upstairs.
Similar ties were used on Naina's hands and feet.
(tense music)
(Jai) I'll check with Shinde if he's found out
anything about Randhir.
(tense music)
(sobbing)
My child! Mom...
Brother...
Shinde said the police suspects
Naina's teacher Randhir is responsible for this,
and that he had bad intentions towards her.
Raksha ma'am, the principal of Elouis College called.
- What's the update? - Bad news.
The Crime Cell team had gone to the college.
And they've got their eyes on one of the teachers.
Which teacher?
(eerie music)
Hello, Vinayak...
We will have to sort this out ourselves.
(exciting music)
