Unlock the door.
Eat.
I want to go home.
To my parents.
Idiot. I said eat.
We won't want you withered.
- Here. - I want to go home.
This is your home now.
This is where you'll stay.
The sooner you understand that, the better.
Eat.
I want to go home!
- Shankar. - Yes.
Close the door.
Close it!
Now I'll handle it.
If they kill me,
give this to my mother.
You know where she stays.
What are you doing here?
I'd forbidden you to come here.
Hadn't I?
Leave!
Don't ever come here again. Get lost.
Yes, Aditi?
Hi, I am sorry to call you so late,
but I need your favour.
Yes, tell me.
A few hours ago, a girl jumped from Hotel Ocean rooftop and committed suicide.
I want you to do her autopsy right away.
What? Right now?
I don't think we should wait till the morning.
I think we are missing something in this case.
She's the third girl who had the same tattoo.
This can't be co-incidence.
DCP sir has asked me to investigate it as a serial killing.
I need your help, Neha. Please help me.
Sure, don't worry.
Thank you.
Oh Papa, did I wake you up?
No, I was awake.
How was your trip?
Good.
Coffee?
You'll have some too?
Hmm.
Go and freshen up.
I'll make coffee.
"A few incomplete dreams of yours,"
"Talk to the moon"
"A few forgotten songs of yours,"
"Tire themselves to sleep"
"Tears shed at your farewell still dwell somewhere in the eyes"
"Your garden seeks you"
"Oh my beautiful butterfly, I worry about you"
"Your garden seeks you"
"Through Bulbul I have sent a message for you"
"Your garden seeks you"
Thank you, Papa.
Such a big thank you for just a cup of coffee?
No, Papa.
It's for getting me out of a shithole.
For raising me as your own.
And for giving me a new life.
Sit.
What's wrong?
What happened?
This photo?
The file was lost.
When did you learn about it?
Yesterday.
I wanted to tell you,
but could never gather the courage.
I feared that I'd lose you.
I'm...I'm sorry, my child.
No, Papa.
I had only heard about angels.
You are my angel,
You raised me as your own.
These people are monsters who devour their own.
I met them.
Ever since then I keep wondering,
what would have happened I hadn't met you.
My child, I...
Back then, I was posted in Nalasopara.
You! How did you come in? Get out!
I want to talk to him.
Leave before I slap you.
Wait. Let him come in.
What do you want to say, huh?
My father brought her here from Kolkata.
Save her before he kills her.
She is unwell.
Please hurry up, Sir.
Open the door. Police.
I said open the door.
What is it, Sir?
What's your name?
Karan Pratap.
Where's the girl?
- Which girl, Sir? - This girl.
Sir, you've got the wrong information.
There is no girl in here.
Let us see that for ourselves.
No. You cannot go inside.
Sir.
Don't bother about him.
Let him die.
Let's save the girl first.
Pick her up.
Let's go.
I filed in the initial report and suppressed the matter.
And after getting you treated, I brought you home.
What happened, my child?
- What is it? - Scorpions.
Where are the scorpions?
- It's okay, don't worry. - What happened, my child?
- What is it? - There are no scorpions here.
This happened every day.
You wouldn't sleep at night.
We didn't know what to do.
I... tried to find Prahar.
To know the reason behind your fear.
But he had left Nalasopara.
We consulted many doctors.
No one could understand what's bothering you.
Then, we met Dr. Rekha.
I think Aditi can be cured.
But not through medicines.
Something's troubling her subconscious mind.
And medicines don't work there.
Aditi has a deep-rooted fear of something.
Something she cannot forget.
I'll use hypnosis therapy to get rid of that fear.
Aditi, look at my finger.
Sleep.
I am holding a bottle in my hand.
I am opening it.
The bottle is now open, Aditi.
I'm capturing all the scorpions in it.
I am closing the bottle now.
The bottle is lost forever.
Now when you wake up,
you won't remember anything about the scorpions.
Aditi, wake up.
You shouldn't have approached Rekha Apte.
Why, Papa?
She has forbidden it.
I have used hypnosis to erase the memories
that scared her.
But remember,
the incident that caused the fear
shouldn't be repeated.
I have mentioned everything in detail in here.
Please go through it.
If you have any doubts,
then feel free to get back to me.
But never get Aditi back to this hospital.
It would be better for her,
if she never sees me again.
It's quite late.
You should rest.
Yes Neha, tell me.
Aditi, I think we got it.
You were right.
All these girls died because of that tattoo.
We wouldn't have learnt this if we had delayed the autopsy.
Good that we performed the autopsy last night itself.
The tattoo contained high quantities of LSD drug.
Lysergic acid diethylamide.
The most powerful hallucinogen in the world.
It is also known as acid.
It causes one to hallucinate.
People start visualising scary and imaginary things
and believe them to be true.
Yes, Sir.
I got your message, Aditi. Is it true?
Yes, Sir. This is as per medical reports.
Okay, be at the ACP's office at sharp ten, with the complete report.
Okay, Sir.
And make sure your presentation is to the point.
Precise and medically supported.
No hunches, okay?
Yes Sir, I'll make it.
Alright.
Yes Aditi, tell me.
Sir, the deceased's name is Reema Nath.
She used work for a broker Prahar in Kamatipura.
Sir, we have found three dead bodies so far.
All three of them had the same tattoo on their arm.
A scorpion.
Sir, we had tested the tattoo on the first two dead bodies,
but we couldn't really find anything.
It was all normal.
But we immediately performed an autopsy on the dead body we found last night.
And we found something.
Sir, we found high quantities of LSD drug in the tattoo's ink.
LSD drug which is also known as acid.
This is the most powerful hallucinating drug in the entire world.
The drug in the tattoo entered the bloodstream of these girls through the skin.
You are a precious and unique gem.
Sir, its effects start showing three hours after it is consumed.
A gem one can never get enough of.
People start visualising
and hearing imaginary,
scary, repelling things.
This drug attacks the neural circuit,
and completely destroys one's ability to rationalise things.
In first two dead bodies, we couldn't detect this drug
because it stays in the body only for eight hours.
After that, we just cannot trace it.
Sir, Dr. Neha is going to meet a tattoo specialist today,
and I think we'll be able to get the detailed reports after that.
Sir, but I really feel that the person killing these girls is very clever.
And he's not going to stop now,
because his method is clearly working.
Hence we need him behind bars as soon as possible.
Aditi, when is Dr. Neha meeting the tattoo specialist?
Today around noon, Sir.
Okay.
I want to be part of that briefing, so please inform me.
Sure, Sir.
Okay.
That's it, Sir.
Yes, Mr. Prahar?
Who was the last person to enter her room?
I need his name and address.
He is the one who killed her.
Mr. Prahar, I have investigated, no one killed her.
No one had entered her room.
In all the CCTV footages, we can see the girl running out of the room alone.
Kuldeep, the one who had booked the room, is missing.
And the client for whom the room was booked never showed up.
No one killed her.
She committed suicide.
It's a suicide case.
The case has been transferred to Aditi Acharya for further investigation.
Okay.
I am a tattoo artist and this is not a permanent tattoo.
This is a temporary tattoo made with a special pen.
Sir, they are known as sharpie pens.
It is a USA made speciality marker pens.
After drawing the tattoo,
you put some powder over it and apply some hairspray.
This tattoo lasts for around a month.
Thank you so much.
We'll call you back if we need anymore help.
Sure.
Ink, spray, powder, LSD can be mixed into anything.
Sir, this drug takes around three hours to penetrate
the skin and enter the bloodstream.
If the skin is rubbed, which is very likely during sex
then this process becomes faster.
I see.
Thank you, Doctor.
Let's go.
Thanks, Neha.
Yeah.
You were right, Aditi.
He is very clever.
Yes, Sir.
What's your move now?
Sir, I am briefing a team
and sending them to Kamatipura and its surrounding areas.
They will visit all tattoo shops in civil cloths.
Sir, we'll try to find out who made the tattoo.
Okay.
That's a good starting point.
Did you speak to Prahar.
No, Sir.
I first want to collect all basic information and then meet him.
Okay.
Good.
Let's go.
Yes, ma'am?
I want to get a tattoo done.
What design?
A scorpion.
Well, I want to get a tattoo.
How can I help you?
I want to get a tattoo done.
Here's my card.
Thank you.
Here's my card.
Can I have your card?
Here you go.
Here's my card.
Hmm.
Sir, this phone belongs to that girl.
I have checked its calls records.
It had also received a call from an international number.
Around five in the evening.
The other two deceased girls too had received
a call from the same international number.
So these three murders are linked to this number.
Yes, Sir.
All these calls were made through a mobile application,
which is very difficult to trace.
Chances are that it'll never get traced.
It had also received a whatsapp message which was later deleted.
Our team is in the field.
They are collecting contact numbers and address of all the tattoo shops.
Why don't you stay here tonight,
and check the call logs of all the numbers collected.
Fine. Sure, Sir.
Thank you.
- The phone. - Sir.
- Can I have your card? - Sure.
- You own this shop? - Yes.
You know the Irla Market?
Yes.
I need to go there.
Here you go.
I want to get a tattoo done.
Where?
On my arm.
- Hello. - Hi.
How can I help you?
I want to get a tattoo done.
What kind?
Do you have designs to show me?
Sure sir, we do. Please have a look.
Here, sir.
Check these out.
Okay.
When did you open this shop?
Four years back.
- Four years. - Hmm.
So you keep the details of all the clients you tattoo?
Yes sir, I keep all the details.
Sir, this tattoo will look good on you.
Okay.
Can I have your card?
Sure, sir. Of course.
Here you go.
Okay, I'll call you.
- Yeah, sir. Welcome. - Okay.
Sir.
I have collected all the cards.
I'll hand them over to the technician.
Okay, Sir.
So, what do you think?
I don't know what to do.
Sir, we have got the visiting cards from all the tattoo shops.
Hmm.
Go, I'll check them.
Okay, Sir.
I'll get going then, Sir.
Hmm.
See you later.
Hello?
Sir, the application used to call those girls,
The application used to call those girls,
was also used to call a tattoo artist named Ismail.
- Do you have his address? - Yes.
As per his mobile details,
his address is Tattoo Hub, Faras Road.
Text me the complete address.
Yes, Sir.
I'll do it right away, Sir.
Listen, drive towards Faras Road.
Okay, Ma'am.
- Cobra calling Control. - Control, reply.
I want a PCR van as Backup near Faras Road.
Roger.
