In the fictional Himachal Pradesh town of Sironah, two morally upright officers, both battling their own inner demons, try to find the person responsible for the alleged r*pe and m*rder of a teenage girl who had ostensibly come to spend the holidays with her mother, a foreign national, in the picturesque town.

Post by bunniefuu »

-Yes, Mr. Angad?
-Are you coming to the police station?

Yes, I am about to leave. What happened?

-We'll talk when you come here.
-Okay, fine.

One minute, Mom. Your tiffin.

There's red bean curry and rice.
Give it to Angad uncle as well.

I'll come early in the evening.

Then we'll all go out
and eat some nice food.

-Okay?
-Okay, Mom.

Take care.

Bunty, what happened? Tell me the truth.

Otherwise, I'll call her here.

No, sir, please don't.

Who are you talking about, Angad?

Nutan?

Nutan and you?
What's going on between you two?

-Dad?
-Yes.

Did you get through to Ravi's phone?
I've been trying since morning.

He left without saying anything.

Actually, the network's weak
at the resort site.

So I have sent Chotu to find out.

Dad?

Why do I get a feeling that

this behavior of Ravi

is because of that m*rder case?

There is nothing like that.
Why are you thinking like that?

Go and get your packing done.
You have to leave for the honeymoon.

-Sir.
-Yeah.

Your son-in-law's car
was seen outside the Taj Lodge.

Taj Lodge?

That French woman
is staying at the Taj Lodge, right?

Bunty, tell us, what is it?

Sir, we were just acquaintances.
She knew that I was a tourist guide, and…

She had asked me for help.

To go to Hotel Bom?

-Who do you want to meet here?
-Ravi Parashar.

-Manhas' son-in-law?
-Yes, he comes here every evening.

-You cannot meet him, he is very--
-Bunty, don't worry. I'll handle that.

Why do you want to meet him?

I cannot tell you that.

Bunty, don't look so worried.

-Get me a lemonade, please?
-Yes.

Two lemonades.

What's up, tourist guide?
Giving a lot of private tours nowadays?

-How did you persuade her?
-Nothing like that. She's just a friend.

-Two lemonades.
-Lemonades?

That's why you're stuck
with being a friend.

Listen, make our drink, do you understand?

The special drink.

Here's your drink.

You take this one, it's a special drink.
I'll bring your drink. Don't worry, go.

Hi, I'm Kanti. Bunty's friend.

Tell her!

Yes, Aimee. This is Kanti bhai.
Kanti bhai, this is Aimee.

-Hi!
-Where are you from?

-Paris.
-Really?

I was in Paris for a few summers.
Absolutely love that place.

Hey, do you want to dance to this song?

No, thanks.
I've come here to find somebody.

Not a problem!
I know everybody and everything here.

-Tell her!
-Yes, Aimee. Kanti bhai is famous.

Come on. One dance,
and then I'll do all your work.

Kanti, let her go.

Come on, babe. These guys are all boring.

-Come on.
-Okay.

-Kanti bhai, wait…
-Bunty, just stay in your lane, all right?

Get lost from here!

-Bunty, don't worry, I'll be fine.
-Let's go.

Gagan bhai.

She's just a kid. You know Kanti, right?

Listen, don't worry.
Nothing's gonna happen, I'm with him.

He is in a very bad mood,
so you better leave now.

Come on, go.

See you.

Yeah, Nutan.

I was with some foreigners.
Almost done, I'm coming.

I didn't know that Kanti
had mixed drugs in the lemonade.

I should not have left Bom.

What happened after you left Bom?

Aunty, I…

I had planned to meet Nutan,
so I went to your house.

My house? You went inside the house?

No! Actually,
we met in the warehouse, Aunty.

-Since when has this been going on?
-Since school.

Have you done anything with Nutan?

We love each other, Aunty.

-You r*ped Aimee!
-No, I didn't.

Then how did
your semen samples match? How?

Tell us, Bunty. How did they match?

On the morning of the 18th,
they came to my house.

Who is it, son?

Bhai, you?

Greetings! Did you want
to speak to Dad? He is asleep.

Let your dad sleep. Tell me,
you were good friends with that girl?

-Yes. What is the matter, Chotu bhai?
-Why don't you be our friend, too?

Come! Come here, you!

Hey, keep quiet! The police are here.

Let's go! Come on.

Come on…

Take this. The bathroom's that way.

Why are you making me do this, Doctor?
I won't do this.

Come on!

This is Kasturi's daughter, right?

-Sironah's top student?
-Give me my phone back!

You're going to jerk off to her video?

Looking at her, even I would do that.
Maybe the doctor, too…

Shall I make the video go viral?

Get in the mood and go inside. Go on.

Come!

Come on, let me see it as well.

After that, Chotu asked me
to surrender before the police,

and tell them that
I had r*ped and m*rder*d Aimee.

In exchange, they wouldn't do anything
to Nutan, and get my dad treated.

I made a mistake, Aunty.

I should've deleted that video.

Take this.

-I don't need it right now.
-Keep it.

Ms. Kasturi, we'll handle Manhas,
Chotu, and that doctor, all of them.

And Nutan? How will I handle her?

And what if the video goes viral?

The video won't go viral.

I guarantee you.

-Jai Hind, sir.
-Jai Hind.

Look, Angad, whatever equation
you have with DIG Khanna,

I don't care for his phone call.

I know that, sir.

You only care about Manhas' phone call.
After all, that's an old equation.

Angad, you're crossing the line!
Without any evidence…

The evidence
will soon be in front of you, sir.

A copy will be sent to the headquarters.

The headquarters
could also send your suspension letters.

We'll cross that bridge later.
Are you going to issue a warrant or not?

Ask his godfather,
DIG Khanna, to issue it.

Sir, when we file the charge sheet

for the Aimee Baptiste
r*pe and m*rder case…

There will be a lot
of co-accused in that charge sheet.

And your name will be on top of that list.

Nutan didi? Nutan didi?

Didi, open the door!

The minute I find something out,
you're the first person I'll tell.

Yeah, I haven't been able
to find anything out yet.

Didi, please, pick up the phone!

Ms. Kasturi, we'll have to get
Bhaati sir's CDRs as soon as possible.

He's going to make a call to Manhas now.

We'll ask for the CDRs up until today.
That call will be recorded in it as well.

-Yeah, Manoj?
-Mom, come quickly!

-What happened?
-Mom, didi is not opening the door.

She has locked herself inside. Come soon.

Didi, open the door!

Nutan didi!

Nutan didi? Didi!

Open the door!

I've been trying your and Dad's phone
for so long. No one picked up!

Nutan? Nutan! Nutan!

Nutan!

Nutan!

-What were you about to do?
-Kasturi!

Please keep out of this, Angad. Tell me!

What were you about to do?

-Sorry.
-Why, Nutan? Why?

I can't tell you anything.
I've written everything in this letter.

They were blackmailing you?

That you shouldn't come forward
as Bunty's alibi,

or they'll make your video go viral?

Bunty is not a bad guy, Mom.

Where are you going?
And your phone's switched off too?

There's an important meeting
scheduled in Delhi.

What happened, Ravi?
Why aren't you telling me anything?

No, it's nothing.

We'll have to push
the honeymoon by a few days.

What? Why?

There's a deal that I need to crack.

It's just a matter of a few days.
Please try to understand, Nilima.

I don't. I don't want to understand.

We won't shift
the dates for the honeymoon.

-But, Nilima…
-Okay, look!

The honeymoon won't be pushed,
and the deal won't get canceled.

Do you understand?

-And, you, come here for a bit.
-Okay, Dad.

Shut up! This is not a game.

Enough, idiot! How much will I eat?

Uncle, I'm bringing the men.

We'll k*ll anyone who comes in our way.

You cannot come in front of him.
You do know why, right?

Yeah, I know why. So, what do we do now?

That Majnu Thapa from Kathmandu…

-The passport guy?
-Ask him to be on stand-by.

We will need him in two to three days.
It is a big contingency.

Okay. And I hope you are eating properly?

Yeah, I'm doing great.

I'm eating tandoori chicken.
Should I send it for you?

Hang up the phone!

Tandoori chicken.

-What happened?
-Didi was about to commit suicide.

Suicide?

Nutan?

I should leave now.

Yeah, Maqsood?
A video has been sent online.

I will send you the details.
Wipe out all of its source leads.

And set an alert
on the video, okay? Thank you.

Also, find out whose IP address
was used to upload the video. Thanks, man.

-Is it urgent?
-Yeah, it's a little urgent. Thank you.

-Sure you didn't tell the police anything?
-No, I didn't.

That's good.

Thank you.

Look, Ravi,

this resort project and my politics
will eventually be taken over by you.

You are the one who has
to take it forward. Am I right?

Yes.

A small mistake can destroy
everything and everyone.

We should not make that mistake.

Okay, Dad.

Don't be afraid of the police.

They cannot touch my family.

And now you too are
a part of my family, right?

Yes, Dad.

Dad, I wanted to share something with you.

Okay, what is it?

At least listen properly
to what he is about to say.

Tonight, the mains examination results
were published online.

I topped the state.

Fourteenth in all of India.

-Fourteenth in all of India?
-Yes.

I'm proud of you, son!

I'm really proud of you.

Malti, he really kicked it
out of the park!

Okay, just focus on the interview now.

Yes.

No need to stress over Kanti's case.

-What's done is done.
-Yeah, Kanti and Jagdamba will handle it.

How did all this happen?

It's my fault.

I couldn't care for her.

But I had a lot of time to care for her.

The real fault is mine.

That video won't get leaked, right?

If Angad says it won't, then…

It won't happen.

I understand, sir.

No, I won't cross any line.

But, sir, please handle DSP Bhaati.

Right, sir.

Bye. Bye, sir.

Bunty, your release orders have come.

You may go now.
But you can't leave Sironah, okay?

-Chauhan?
-Yes, sir. Come.

-Yes, Maqsood?
-It's done, sir.

-All leads have been deleted? Super.
-Yes, sir.

-Hello?
-Were you able to track the source file?

Yes, sir, we're able to track the file.

Yeah, whose IP address is it?

This is someone from Sironah, Dogra…

-What name did you just say?
-Hari Dogra.

No, please tell me again.

Sir, Hari Dogra.

Has there been an error at your end?

No, there is no error.

Dad hasn't come back yet.
Where has he gone?

He has gone to the Himmat Nagar
police station. He'll be late.

He hasn't left Sironah in so many years.
Why did you let him go alone, Kasturi?

I'll go and look for him.
So much has already happened here.

Look, he came.

Angad? At this hour?

Are you going somewhere, Hari?

Yeah, why?

Where were you
on the night of Aimee's m*rder?

What? Angad?

You were not at home. Where were you?

No, what do you think?
I m*rder*d that girl? I r*ped her?

I have your entire
online chat history, Hari.

What history?

Shall we go to the cyber cafe?

This has the details
of all the customers' names,

phone numbers and photo IDs.

Check whatever you want.

I'll wait outside.
Call me when you need me.

Angad, at least tell me now.

Ms. Kasturi, the videos
that Nutan received were sent from here.

The IP address is Hari's.

-No, Ms. Kasturi.
-Angad, this is about my family!

Maroot's search
is about my family too, Kasturi,

but I'm still here for Aimee's case.

I haven't left everything
to go chasing after Omi, right?

Angad, you will speak
to him in front of me.

Hari? Hari!

On the morning of the 17th,
all these people logged in from here?

Nutan's exam started
at 10:00 a.m. on the 17th.

Why are you guys asking about Nutan?

Hari, someone else had logged in
from your computer that morning.

Which you have not recorded here.

Will you first tell me
why you're asking this?

There's a chat ID
to which you sent Julie's photo.

You sent Aimee, Kasturi, and my photos
to the same ID as well.

On the night of Aimee's m*rder,
you were talking continuously to that ID.

This is my personal matter. These things
have nothing to do with your case.

-What is your connection to Chotu, Hari?
-Who is Chotu?

Who is Chotu? The same guy
who sent Nutan's dirty video from here!

Manhas' guy Chotu.

That b*stard!

Even I can see that
none of the systems are free.

Either free up one of these,
or give me your system.

-Take this. Give me your ID card.
-ID card?

Yeah, we have to enter the details.

Don't joke around, man.

If Mr. Manhas finds out,
he will be offended. Okay?

I know where he lives.
I'll chop him into pieces!

You won't do any such thing.
Right now, your family needs you.

Especially Nutan.
You go home and leave all this to us.

Please go.

Manhas.

How did Manhas get involved
so deeply in this, Angad?

He got that girl k*lled
so he could save Ravi.

But why did he get Bunty framed
for the crime?

And… that person
who Hari was chatting with, she…

Her name is Blue Rose.

-Her details?
-I have them.

Will you please send them to me?

That Blue Rose's actual name is… Sonali?

Sonali Pant.

And what is your username?

The Inspector.

Which name do you use to chat with her?

I told you. It's "The Inspector."

Something I could never become.

But instead, I became husband to one.

Thanks to my luck.

What do you talk about
with this woman, Sonali?

She listens to me.

She doesn't cut me off,
and treats me as her equal.

I tell her everything. Everything.

Like what?

Like, what the kids have said,

and what you've said.

What I ate, drank,
did or did not do. Everything.

For seven years, Hari?

For seven years?

For seven years.

Is she married?

She has two kids of Nutan's age.

And her husband is a police officer, too.

Have you ever met
this Sonali Pant, aka Blue Rose?

We meet online every day.

Do you love her?

I don't know.

I really don't know.

But I do know that…

I don't love you anymore.

Doctor, this chemical
is used to keep corpses fresh, right?

It will be used on you very soon.

No, Kasturi, please don't do this.

Look, I'm ready to tell you the truth.

Why were Bunty's samples taken?

That… Mishra asked me to do it.

Chotu brought Bunty there,
and said what he said needed to be done.

He was ready to pay whatever I asked,

but threatened
with dire consequences if I didn't.

Who did the original samples belong to?
Kanti Dhumal?

-Then who did they belong to?
-An unknown person.

Mishra took the original reports,
and Bunty's reports were planted instead.

The original samples
were erased? They were erased?

I had kept a copy
of the report for myself. Please!

We went to Chotu's house,
but it was locked, sir.

We went to Manhas Mansion too.
The guards said Chotu wasn't there.

Did you go inside and check?

We tried, but they asked
for a warrant to search the property.

And Bhaati will not issue a warrant.

Here in Sironah,
even law doesn't work legally.

But if you try an ill*gal method,
everyone will speak the truth.

Original semen sample report.

-Was the sample Kanti's?
-No.

Whoever it was, Chotu had erased
the evidence. But the doctor kept a copy.

Something happened
in room number 304 of Hotel Bom.

Gagan and Kanti
are not telling the whole story.

And Bunty's version
is different from theirs.

We will have to talk
to Gagan and Kanti, once again.

What happened
on the night of November 12th?

-Gagan has already told you.
-Now, you will tell us.

I don't remember it well.

We know that you mixed drugs
in Aimee's lemonade.

Come on, Kanti, start spilling.

That night, Gagan and I went to Hotel Bom.

I knew it,
the room booking won't go waste.

After some time, Bunty left.

Aimee wanted to meet somebody,
but I don't know who that man was, sir.

We were in the club for quite a while.

We were having a good time.
Had a couple of drinks.

-What happened, babe?
-I want to meet that man.

-Which man?
-The man who just went outside.

Really? Let's go then.

-Kanti, wait! I'll leave then.
-So leave. Don't bore me.

Kanti!

I took her upstairs, under the pretense
of helping her meet that man.

Easy does it. Easy, easy.

Kanti, don't do this.
Someone might see us.

Why haven't you gone home yet?
Are you gonna watch us do it, pervert?

-Where is he?
-Right here, baby.

Right here, in this room.

-Hey, don't do this, man!
-Easy, easy.

Where is he?

Me, baby. Me. Look at me.

-I'm your man.
-No!

-Kanti, no!
-No!

-No!
-Kanti, have you gone mad?

sh*t! Aimee!

Aimee? Aimee!

-f*ck!
-She has fainted.

Even I can see that, you idiot!

-Now?
-Waste of time, man. f*ck!

Kanti, have you lost your mind? Wait!

-What if something happens to her?
-She will be fine.

She will regain consciousness
in some time. Chill.

-Hey! Hey, Kritika! Hey.
-Hi, Kanti!

Hi!

If not her, then someone else.
I will score today, good boy.

It's important for us men.

But nothing happened.
We drank a little more and went home.

I dropped him, then went to my house.
He must've told you the same thing.

No, he never mentioned
that you guys went upstairs. Gagan?

Kasturi Auntie, I wanted to save Kanti
from being implicated in another case.

Now, both of you are implicated, Gagan.
Tell us the truth about what happened.

What did you two do upstairs?

-Sir, Kanti is lying.
-What did I lie about?

I never went upstairs.

He took Aimee upstairs,
and I don't know what he did there.

I was waiting downstairs at the table.
He came after about ten minutes,

-then we went straight home.
-Why are you lying?

I think he r*ped Aimee,
and I don't know anything else.

f*cking b*stard, you r*ped that girl! You!

You are not the victim here, Kanti, okay?

You spiked Aimee's drink
with the intention of r*pe.

Don't ever say that you were innocent
in this. I'll break your teeth, b*stard!

Doctor, this is Gagan.
Take his semen sample.

-You know what you have to do after that.
-Yes.

And also, what you shouldn't do.
Do you need a reminder?

Come on, go. Go!

At least don't doubt your mother now, son.

Whatever we did, it was for your good.

Look at me. Come on, look.

You understand, right?

Very good. My brave boy.

Ravi?

What has happened? You can tell me.

I lied to you, Nilima.

That French girl, Aimee…

She was my daughter.

I thought we were close
to untangling this mystery,

but it's even more tangled up now.

Kanti mixed drugs in Aimee's drinks,
and then he took her upstairs.

But his semen sample didn't match.

Which means, Gagan…

But if Gagan r*ped her,

how come Gagan and Kanti
left together in Kanti's car?

Both of them have stated this.
Then how did Aimee reach the jungle?

-Who k*lled her?
-And then Sundar's m*rder.

What was his connection to all this?

And then, why did Chotu force Bunty
to confess to the m*rder?

Chotu or Manhas? Chotu works for Manhas.

Maybe we're looking at this case
the way we have been taught to.

That if there's been a m*rder,
there will be a motive, an evidence.

But I think there's something
we're not able to see and understand.

Hanging that girl's body
like that on the tree--

Even you're starting to think
that this wasn't done by a human, but…

The Leopard-Man?

I don't know.

Could the sergeant Mahadev
be this serial k*ller, the Leopard-Man?

He was the one
who took you to the dead body.

Mom?

-Manoj, is your sister okay?
-Yeah, Mom.

Sister is fine, but Grandpa is not back
from the Himmat Nagar jail yet.

-What?
-Yes, he went in the afternoon.

And your dad?

Papa is not at home.

Okay, you guys have your dinner,
I'll be a little late today.

Okay, Mom.

Sergeant, what is all this?

It's ahead, sir.

-Are you sure this is it?
-Yes, this is the house, sir.

Two men were with him.
They looked like gangsters.

Sergeant, here.

It has been sent from Kanpur jail.

Who is it, sir?

sh*t!

Issue a red alert,
they wouldn't have gone far.

-Yeah, Rewa?
-Kasturi, come and arrest Mr. Govind.

I had told Kasturi…

that the enemy is within.
