Aira.
Don't worry.
How did you know that I am scared?
Aira, I saw a man wandering outside your house.
Ladies! The club logo, it's very 90s ya.
We definitely need a change.
You know a new logo maybe.
I mean you see, Cole Town Founder's Day is coming, right?
So I think we must try neon colours.
It's very much in trend you know.
Yeah, of course.
Definitely we should go for that.
Your drink.
Um.. I want to have tea.
Yeah.
How could we not get it? We should try that. Come on.
Hey, hello, hello.
Where you going so late? It's 10 PM.
Out.
With Nirvan. May I?
No.
What happened, Dad? -I want to talk to you.
Local alcohol is being circulated in your college.
Do you know about it?
I've no clue about it.
Sabina has confessed.
And she has also said that in your college, White Flower,
it's a common thing.
I hope you've nothing to do with this.
No, Dad.
I'm not a part of all of this.
This house, family,
you know, we're like the first family of this town.
We've a reputation here.
Our family is considered an ideal family in this town.
I'm aware about it.
And I'm not from a wannabe gang like Sabina and Naini.
I've a standard to maintain.
May I leave? -Stop.
Dear, everyone has weaknesses.
It's natural.
The important thing is how
we hide that weakness from the world.
So that we don't ever get caught.
Are you understanding?
Be back on time. -Yeah.
Cheers. -Cheers.
To the tea. -To the tea.
Marcus, you're bleeding.
How did you get hurt? I'll get the first aid box.
Aira, didn't you hear?
I saw a man wandering outside your house.
Maybe he was wearing overalls and gumboots.
I think he was a miner.
There's nobody outside.
Aira, don't change the topic. This is serious.
What serious, Marcus? It must be Dubey uncle.
It's such a big house. It's always just mom, Amma and I.
So we rent out extra rooms for extra money.
If that's the case,
why did you lock the door with the table?
They're guests but still strangers.
It's better to be safe than sorry.
Aira, you were scared when I came.
Your usual routine is to fight with me
and tonight you hugged me?
Why the sudden mood shift?
Say something.
Don't move, it's a deep scratch.
To hell with the scratch.
I'm asking you something. Stop ignoring.
I tried mixing this time.
Good job, bro.
Well done. -Thank you.
What's up, guys?
Hi.
Babe, we're going to Jumbo Point.
Come on, Iraz. -Let's go.
But we need to go through the abandoned mine to reach there.
So? -Bro, people disappear from there.
We need to disappear too.
Are you coming?
Is it important?
Okay, don't come. -Come, ya.
Guys?
Whatever happened with Violet,
I don't think going there is a good idea.
It's a deep wound.
Go and take a tetanus injection tomorrow.
You're a sportsman, you can't be careless.
How will you play with the infection?
Aira.
You hugged me for the first time in 2 years.
And you expect me to think about cricket now?
You should go home now.
You're really confusing me, Aira.
You were hugging me like you would never let me go.
And now you're asking me to leave.
What do you want?
I don't know what I want.
But for now, please leave.
How do I leave? How?
I'm going crazy pondering over if you're safe here.
Isha told me the stories about your house.
But I definitely didn't believe her.
But seeing that man here,
I really got very scared.
Isha told you?
Now I know. Isha sent you here?
How do you feel joining their gang?
Why have they recruited you?
To stalk me or to torture me?
It's useless to talk to you.
Isha was right about you.
You change your colours. You're a chameleon.
You know what, go and tell Isha.. -Stop this Isha bullshit.
I've not come here because of Isha.
Why do you think I've returned to Cole Town?
I could've gotten admission in any of the prestigious colleges of this country.
Why did I choose White Flower Hall, Aira?
Because I could come back to you.
I was 12 years old
since I've been coming here in every summer vacation.
Just...
for you.
Coming back
was all hopeless, right?
Why are you so scared, bro?
Bro, did your parents consume hooch while naming you Veer?
He is not even slightest of brave. Coward.
It's okay, Iraz. Don't bully him.
He can go home if he doesn't want to come.
We'll see you tomorrow.
Thanks.
It's better we are not spotted in the forest.
You should go home, too. -We're going home, bro.
Nirvan, the police know about the hooch.
I know. Iraz told me.
That inspector had gone to his house to talk to his mom.
And?
Nothing. Mom shooed them away.
But inspector asked mom how did Violet get the hooch?
Guys, this shouldn't backfire.
Dad interrogated me tonight.
And he has warned me.
One second. One second.
Isha, your dad knows, too?
Of course, Nirvan.
Strangely, he knows everything.
But there must be a source.
Sabina, the coward.
She must've told her dad and her dad told my dad.
So what now? -Now..
We need a fall guy.
So your creative, freaky mind already has a plan?
Wow.
Are you seeing the colours?
Sometimes I think God is an artist.
Just like you.
Since I paint, you're comparing me to God? -You're a goddess.
Marcus, a shooting star. Make a wish.
I wish the entire country has a heat wave.
Who makes such a wish? -I do.
So that our summer vacations can be extended.
What did you wish for?
Heat wave.
It's raining. Shall we leave?
Wait. It's not raining, it's just a drizzle.
I didn't know you are so scared of rains.
No, I thought
a hoity-toity convent-going girl like you might be scared.
Do you really think I'm hoity-toity?
Yes.
I don't think you even know about pinky promise.
Of course, I do. But we have rinky promise instead of pinky promise.
Rinky promise?
You just made that up. -No, really.
It's just like a pinky promise, but this is with a ring finger.
Do you know you're so goofy and cute?
Okay, let's make a promise.
We'll always be friends no matter what.
Promise.
Look, dad got shells for me from Goa.
And I made a bird out of them.
I'm going to fly to the seas.
Liar. You bought it from a shop, right?
Marcus, Marcus, please give it.
Aira...
Aira.
Let's go home quickly. -What happened?
Your dad's condition is very sick.
Everyone has come home, the doctor is there,
I don't know what to do. Come quickly.
Dad.
Marcus, I never made friends.
With our family history.
Honestly, I never wanted to make any.
Then one day you met dad.
Dad told me this is Marcus, your new friend.
He used to like you, trust you,
but the day he left, Marcus,
even you left me that day.
Why?
Aira, I never wanted to leave you but...
But you still did.
Aira,
please give me one chance to explain.
No explanation is enough.
Aira,
I know but please..
You know nothing, Marcus.
You've no idea what happened with us in the last 2 years.
After dad's death, Mom..
Always remained sick. She never left the room.
From taking care of her,
to where to pay the electricity bill,
where do groceries come from, where do
cylinders come from, I had to figure it all out.
Aira..
I didn't realise after uncle's death, you had to take his place.
Marcus, I could've managed it all.
But along with it, people started making stories up.
Everyone started saying spirits killed Mr. Rishi
Mom and I are cursed. Whoever gets close to us, will die like the mine workers.
Everyone made my dad's death a poetic justice.
This town is so ruthless, Marcus.
How is this fair?
And just needed a friend during this time.
I needed you, but you weren't there.
You weren't there, Marcus. You weren't.
My strongest girl.
I don't think I'm strong.
My strength has been broken multiple times.
So guys, what's the plan?
A fall guy.
Who else better to take the blame than
Veer? -You said it. I didn't say anything.
But how will we frame Veer?
Simple. This belongs to Veer.
If we plant this amongst Violet's belongings, the police will suspect Veer.
And you know how big of a coward he is.
Bro, I can imagine it already.
He sweats seeing the cops.
If they question him, he'll poop his pants.
Yuck, Iraz. That's so gross.
Yeah, Isha, your plan is already in place, right?
You'll become a strategist. -Yes, dumbo.
There's a reason I've 30k followers on Instagram.
That's my girl.
So basically, what's the next step?
We should place this copy in Violet's belongings?
Violet's house in the village was a rented one.
Now her grandmother has shifted to Shanti Sadan with all her stuff.
So.. -We need to go to Shanti Sadan.
Do you know when I saw you for the first time?
A few thugs were protesting outside your house.
Open it.
And one of them threw a firecracker inside your house.
Dad.
Grandpa's case judgment was announced that day.
And the verdict was guilty.
After his death,
people didn't let go off their angst.
That mob, those crackers, I still remember it.
I was able to hear the firecrackers' sound.
But I couldn't see who screamed.
So to get a better view, I climbed up a tree
to look into your house.
And then I saw you.
Just like a warrior princess.
Those fire sparks were all around you.
But you weren't scared.
I saw the courage.
And I know how your father came out running
and pulled you back.
He was scared but not you.
Aira,
I just want you to know
I've seen your courage. Not a lot of people are brave like you.
Don't ever forget that.
Hey, shall we break it? -Hmm?
Don't be stupid.
Everyone will find out.
Especially the ghosts.
Guys, follow me. We'll figure some other way. Come.
Come, boys.
Are you leaving?
Aira,
I can't rectify my mistake.
But I can make one promise...
that I won't ever bother you.
What do you mean?
Chasing you and apologising to you,
is equally wrong if you forgive me.
What I've done with you, I can't ever forgive myself.
I don't deserve this friendship.
Rinky promise.
I won't chase you ever.
Bye, Aira.
Bye.
Wow. This was easy.
Yeah, good for us.
Yeah, guys. Let's go.
Let's go in.
Come on, Iraz. -One minute.
This was Isha's idea. So Isha should go in first.
I'm a girl, Iraz. -We know, Isha.
So how could I go in alone? -Ghosts don't care about gender.
Oh, really? So you go.
You'll find your mom's friends inside. Go.
Let's go.
I'm adopted. Not her son.
Come on, Iraz. Don't waste our time. -Iraz, come on.
We'll keep doing this all night.
I've a better solution.
Let's go in together and look for it together.
And by chance, if anyone comes,
so we can handle it.
We'll all go in together, cool? -Yeah.
Do you all copy? -Roger.
Cool. -Come on, let's go.
