Sanskrit chants.

Sir, today's veneration has ended.

Tomorrow,
we will meet again in the morning

for the 'Pitra Shaanti' ritual.

Stay back.

What are you doing? Move. Stay back.

Move. Stay back.

Move.
- Move!

What are you doing?

Hey! Where are you going?

Nothing has happened.

Priest got drowned.

What are you looking at?

Do you think it's a fair?
Stand back.

Come on.

He didn't die due to drowning.

He died due to poison.
- Hey!

Do you think you are a CID officer?

Get out of here.
Don't create a scene. Move.

What is this? Oh! Sir.

This is poisoning.

Send the body for autopsy.

I understand what you
are going through.

It is really heart-wrenching.

People bear fruition for
the deeds they commit.

You had paid for the veneration.

The veneration is still pending.

Come to this pier before
sunrise tomorrow.

I will get your
veneration completed.

{\an8}Where are you, Nikhil?

Sir.

This car is traceable till Indira
Gandhi International Airport.

But his face isn't visible
in any CCTV footage.

Then?

He disappeared after entering

the underpass.

Finally, this car was
found near the airport.

Why would he go to the airport?

It's a high security zone.

Sir, we've inquired with
customs, ground staff,

CISF and everywhere.

No one knows anything.

I need footage of the last 12 hours.

From every camera angle.

Okay.
- But, written permission...

I'll get you the permission.

Let's get started.
- Okay, sir.

Nusrat.
- Sir.

Sir.
- Don't worry.

We'll find Nikhil.

Yes, sir.

We will catch the ***.

Sir.

Nikhil's family has
reached India, too.

What do we tell them?

We'll figure out something.

Okay.

Sir, Nikhil sir's mobile is on.

We have a signal.

What's the location?

It's triangulating.

Sir, this is pointless.

Ma'am, please,

go home and rest.

Where is Nikhil?
- I don't know.

Then find me someone who does.

I'm not going anywhere
till I see him.

Okay, ma'am.

We are exhausted.
- Sir.

Naina ma'am is asking
about Nikhil sir.

Tell her that you
don't know anything.

Sir, I said. But ma'am told me

to send someone who knows.

We are searching for
the person who knows.

How will I answer her?

She has just landed
from the USA. And he...

Do one thing.
Go and talk to her.

Lolark!
- As they say,

woman to woman.

Please.

Naina, hi.

Nusrat Sayed.
- I know.

Where is my husband?

Naina...
- Nusrat.

Where is my husband?

We don't know.

Excuse me?

He is missing.

What the...

What the *** is going on here?

Since when?

Since last night.

Nusrat.

I'm his wife.

If anybody deserves to what's
going on with Nikhil, it's me.

Of course.

But...
- How the *** did you even lose him?

Nikhil has been kidnapped.

What...

Who did it?
- We don't know anything else.

At the moment

that's all I can tell you.

Naina, three teams of CBI

are working only on

tracking Nikhil. I promise you.

I promise you, we will find him.
- You will

find him?

First you told me to go home,

then you said he's missing
and then you said...

Is he alive?
- Naina...

Naina, I... I understand.

I know

how you feel.
- You don't!

You never can.

I told him not to come.

I kept telling him not to.

I kept...

I told him not to...

Riya! Riya, get up.

Riya... Get up, dear.
Come on.

Good girl.

Let's go.

{\an8}'First, CBI's Chief Forensic
Officer, Dhananjay Rajpoot'

{\an8}'k*lled his wife.'

{\an8}'After that, he tried to
frame someone else for it.'

'But in the end,
his truth was revealed.'

'As the water that falls down as
rain from anywhere in the sky'

'and finally reaches the ocean,'

'the worship of any divine
aspect ultimately reaches'

'the Supreme Being.'

Who are you?

'Just how the rain drops
meet the ocean'

'the prayers offered to the Divine,'

'reaches the Supreme Being.'

'Just like that'

'any number you call
from this phone'

'will lead you to me.'

Who the *** are you?

'Telling you this won't
help you in any way.'

Then what will help me?

'What will we do next?'

What will we do?

We have spoken enough.

You haven't even eaten
anything since two days.

Come on, eat something now.

'As it is, you don't
have anyone here'

'except me to talk to.'

Don't be childish.
I won't eat anything.

'Do you wish to die?'

'Answer me.'

You won't let me die.

Clearly, I'm no use to
you unless I'm alive.

You're alive not because
I want to use you,

but because I like you.

'In the w*r of Mahabharata,
the Pandavas'

'only needed one
clever companion.'

'You're my companion
in this w*r.'

*** you!
- Anger?

Anger makes a person blind.

'No worries.'

'Eventually,
you'll understand that'

'this place is
your Kurukshetra.'

'And this is where
you'll be reborn.'

If you know so much,

then why do you need me?

'Didn't I tell you that
you are my companion?'

It's not a *** game, okay?

You don't realize your own
potential yet, Nikhil.

Neither do you

understand the different
between m*rder and death.

'But as you used to say'

'there's a difference
between a dead body'?

'and the dead.'

How long have you
been following me?

Is the jailer here?

But someone's here to meet you.

Why didn't Nikhil come?

What's wrong, Lolark?

I knew it.

I had warned him.

There's someone who's
taking revenge against you two.

He's after you two

like a wild bull.

Did you get any leads?

Not yet, sir.

But I'm scared that Nikhil...
- No!

Wherever he may be, he's alive.

How can you be so sure. sir?

Because he'd have k*lled Nikhil
right there of he had to.

But he kidnapped him.

He needs Nikhil.

The criminals are catching
the police these days.

God!

Sir,

I've got all
your old case files.

All the cases that you
handled with Nikhil.

Go through them once, sir.
You may find a clue as to

who the scoundrel could be.

*** you, ***, I'll k*ll you.

Hello!

Do you hear me?!

I'll cut you into
*** pieces, ***!

Stay away from my family, ***!

Hello!

Hello. Why are you involving
my family in this?

'In order to protect
one's family and religion'

'one may go to any extent.'

'Now, you must protect your family'

'while I must protect my religion.'

Listen, I'm really sorry.
I won't disconnect the call again.

Okay. Please don't
involve my family in this.

They have nothing
to do with this.

'Nikhil,
it's time to take a decision.'

'I can reach your family
within three minutes.'

'You tell me'

'whom will you protect?

'Your family'

'or my religion?'
- Listen.

Hello. Listen.

Listen. Please don't hurt them.

Hello.

Hello.

Please don't hurt my family.

I will do whatever you want.

An auspicious beginning.

Abhilasha Chandran?

'The first m*rder is
always special, Nikhil.'

'That's your subject.'

'Abhilasha Chandran.'

Joy.

Happiness.

His child is his joy.

Fear.

Dread.
- 'Human brain'

'thinks in terms of visuals.'

'If we try to understand'

'the human brain'

'then we may look at the image
being formed in the mind.'

'This is a work in progress.'

'But we are close to cracking
this brain-mapping experiment.'

What will you gain by
k*lling an innocent person?

'Both happen to die.'

'The innocent and the offender.'

'To die is their fate.'

'To k*ll is yours,'

'and to have her k*lled'

'is my duty.'

Her experiment could
be a very important

discovery in the
field of psychiatry.

The second good news is

that she has refused
the American scholarship

and decided to stay in India.

We are very proud of you.
- Thank you, sir.

Let's give Abhilasha a
huge round of applause.

So, tell me.

How should we write
the last chapter

of Abhilasha's life?

'She's a working woman.'

'She lives with her mom.'

'She has a 12 year old daughter.'

What's Abhilasha's routine?

'It's regular.'

'She's a dedicated mother.'

'Every morning at sharp 8 o'clock,
she drops her daughter at school.'

'She goes to work from there.'

'Her mother cooks her food.'

'She's at work the whole day.'

'Then comes home by sharp 6 p.m.'

'She spends her weekends
with her mom and daughter.'

'That's her life.'

Any medical issues?

'Nothing serious.'

'In a few days, she will be
undergoing a dental treatment.'

'Capping of tooth.'

When?

'Next Sunday.'

That will be the place.

'You just have to
replace her dental cap.'

'Replace titanium with iron.'

'She will return to her
department after the treatment.'

'According to your information'

'she conducts
brain-mapping experiments.'

Before her subject arrives

she takes down the reading
to use as a standard value.

You must be present there.

Where's the subject?

'Ma'am,
he's late by about 15 minutes.'

Is it?

Until he arrives,
take down my readings.

'Record this please.'

'Are you ready?'

'Yes, ma'am, I'm. Whenever you are.'

'You have to increase the
magnetic strength of the machine.'

'The magnetic pull of the
machine will be so strong'

'that her tooth is going
to act like a b*llet.'

'It's no big deal for you to take
her body out of the hospital.'

You are good in handling
the CCTV anyway.

'Where do I dispose the body?'

At a place

where all the evidence
will get diluted.

Oh ***!

The rascal has chosen
such a place that...

It can't be Nikhil.

We have to retrieve
the body from the lake.

But we don't have

underwater crime scene expertise.

And plus, it's night time.

Why don't we just wait for sunlight?

The body will get
even more bloated.

What do we do now?

Darn the rascal!

That's true.

Only one person
can solve this case.

'O innocent heart,
what happened to you?'

'What is the cure for
this pain, after all?'

I hope for faith from one

who doesn't know what
it means to be faithful.

Hey, brother. Are you
missing your unfaithful wife?

No.

I'm trying to think
about the person

who k*lled her.

All of us have to pay
our debts eventually.

Brother, I suggest you
delve into the past.

You must have ruined
the plans of many a people.

Dig deep into the past...

...and you shall know
what you're seeking for.

'O innocent heart,
what happened to you?'

Why is his name not
mentioned in the file?

Sanskrit chants.

Sanskrit chants.

Sanskrit chants.

Sanskrit chants.

'It's nothing. The priest
drowned to his death.'

'He didn't die by drowning.
He was poisoned.'

'People bear fruition for
the deeds they commit.'

'The veneration is still pending.'

'Come to this pier before
sunrise tomorrow.'

I will get your
veneration completed.

'Sanskrit chants.'

'Sanskrit chants.'

'Place the flower here.'

'Despite being so young,'

'you are well-versed
with all the rituals.'

'It's quite a big deal.'

'Did your father teach you?
- His thrashing did.'

'There can be no better
teacher than pain.'

'Don't you regret
the demise of your father?'

'Certain incidents are
unworthy of our mourning.'

'Our destinies are pre-determined.'

'I don't know why I
feel you already'

'knew that your father
was about to die.'

'Even Lord Krishna was
able to see the future.'

'But could he stop the
havoc wreaked by w*r?'

'Concentrate on praying.'

'The souls of your
ancestors will rest in peace.'

'Will you answer my question?'

'Who poisoned your father?'

'Man must learn how
to tame his curiosities.'

Sir.

Sir.

Someone from the CBI
is here to meet you.

Sir.

Did you find anything about Nikhil?

No, sir.

Sir, we found one more body.

It was drowned in water.

So, basically, it is an
underwater crime scene

for which you need my help.

Not just because it's
an underwater crime scene.

This is the only option we have

to get to Nikhil.

There is no margin for error now.

Sir, this is unofficial.

We will lose our jobs
if anyone comes to know about it.

Thankfully, papers and pens
are not allowed here.

Otherwise, you'd have
been penning down novels.

Lolark, I need you to do
something for me. - Sure, sir.

But this matter will stay
between the two of us only.

There lives a boy in Benaras

who has been imprisoned.

I need all the
information about him.

Every little detail.

The m*rder was not committed here.

She was dumped her along with
the car after being k*lled.

This scoundrel confuses us.

He kills at one place and
disposes the body elsewhere.

Why doesn't he keep
it simple for us?

Was there burnt oil on
the surface of the water?

Yes, sir. Why do you ask?

So, there's good news

and bad news.

The good news is
that Nikhil is alive.

The bad news is

Nikhil has committed the m*rder.

It was 2007 when Nikhil and I

were working on our
first underwater case.

Girdhar Swami. First degree m*rder.

The body was dumped right here.

All the evidence had
been destroyed.

And there was burnt oil

on the surface of the water.

Just like this.

Nikhil is trying to send me
some kind of a message.

What is it?
