01x05 - The devil has a face

[bunniefuu]

'Rejection

'is the first reaction
of human society'

'when their opinions
are attacked.'

'Even if the attack is
meant for their own good.'

'The limited knowledge
of an ordinary person'

'doesn't allow them to
look beyond themselves.'

'Whether it's human life,'

'architecture, or new ideas,'

'In this universe,
new things are formed'

'from the ruins of the old ones.'

'Tears, blood,'

'pain, disappointment,'

'help an ordinary person'

'to walk the path
leading to victory.'

'Opinions live'

'much longer than a person does.'

'Once we learn how to'

'gain control over our senses,'

'no enemy'

'or fear'

'can conquer us.'

'This quiescent'

'and stable state'

'gives birth to a new energy.'

'Apart from the change
in human nature,'

'the ubiquitous'

'endless darkness
is the eternal truth.'

'Because attachment is suffering,'

'compassion is cruelty'

'and the end is the beginning.'

{\an8}'The serial killings
refuse to cease.'

{\an8}'Due to reasons unknown, the dentity
of the corpse found in the lake'

'is being hidden from the media.'

'It is suspected that the
corpse could be that of'

'forensic expert Dr Nikhil Nair.'

'It is disappointing to see
that the CBI which is'

'meant to protect people'

'is choosing to remain
silent regarding this matter.'

Naina.
- Tell me it's not him.

Who?
- The dead body that

you found in the lake.
- No.

No, Naina.

It isn't Nikhil.

Nikhil is alive.

How do you know that?

Have you found any new clue?

Has he tried contacting any of you?

In a way, yes.

The dead body that we
found at the lake,

is a message from Nikhil.

He sent a message in a dead body?

Naina, all this is very complicated.

The good news is that

Nikhil is alive.

Adn we know that

whatever he is doing,

is out of helplessness.

What is Nikhil doing?

So it's just a theory but...

Maybe it was Nikhil who
committed the m*rder.

Have you...

What the *** are you talking about?

Like I said,

it's just a theory.

DJ sir thinks that

maybe...
- Dhananjay Rajpoot?

The man who himself
should be in jail,

for murdering his own wife, right?

He's the one making a thweory
about my husband being a m*rder*r.

And you're sitting

in my house, trying to
convince me of just that.

But, yes,

you are all helping Nikhil.

Nusrat, you know Nikhil, right?

Do you also think Nikhil...

I understand your pain.

I swear.

But you must try to understand us.

I know this is very
difficult for you.

But you'll have to be strong.

For Nikhil.

Nikhil is alive.

And he has found a way

to talk to us.

To find a way to us.

Nikhil will make sure

that we find him.

'Sir, we can't solve the
case without DJ sir.'

I cannot give you the
permission to do this.

We'll keep waiting for permission

and may soon be
looking at a cemetary.

Let me make it very clear to you.

DJ is in jail. He has been accused.

He cannot work on the
case officially.

But he can at least help us by
thinking over the case in jail.

Who would know Nikhil Nair

better than Dhananjay Rajpoot, sir?

And if Nikhil is trying to
send us a message... - Lolark!

What good is the department, then?

There are rules.

If anyone gets a hint of this,
CBI's reputation will be tarnished.

You would know that better, sir.

The difference is

you're concerned about
rules and reputation and

I'm concerned about
the lives of people.

You very well know that

this is the only
option we have left.

I'll take your leave, sir.

'We have just been informed'

'that the body that CBI
found in Mangar lake'

'belongs to neuroscientist
Dr Abhilasha Chandran.

'After completing her education,'

'she invested herself'

'into the study of psychiatry.'

'Will her mother and daughter be
able to cope up with this shock?'

'Ma'am!
- Please.'

'Ma'am!
- Please tell us.'

'Ma'am, tell us!
- Ma'am.'

'Please tell us.'

{\an8}'Mom...'

'Ma'am!'

'Ma'am! Tell us!
- Mom...'

'I came here in the year 2016.'

Before me,
Mr Shrivastav worked here.

I wouldn't know if
Mr Shrivastav knew anything.

What was the name you mentioned?

Shubh Joshi.
- Yes.

Shubh Joshi.

No, sir. There's no person
with the name Shubh Joshi.

Check once again.

Sir, this is a computer. Not a man.

It's memory won't change, right?

Check in the record room once.

You might find something.

Mr Shrivastav's posting was
done in the year 2008.

Before him, Mr Yashvant Shukla
worked here.

Yashvant Shukla?
- Yes, sir.

Where would I find him?

He retired.

His home is in Ram Nagar, next
to the river bank of the Ganges.

Okay. Do you have his
address or contact number?

Yes. I can give your his address.

'This heart wrenching incident...'

'Cold-blooded m*rder...'

'The corpse found in the lake...'

Sir, I told you about
that man, right?

He is coming again today.

To preach. Will you listen to him?

I feel all these
motivational speakers

are fraudsters.

You'll get tea and snacks.
Eat and rest.

Yes.

I'm a little busy.

As you wish.

I've kept the pamphlet here.
Come if you change your mind.

Okay.

Close your eyes for a minute.

Now imagine

the moment when you
committed the crime.

The crime due to which you are here.

Think about it.

The mistake could be
yours or someone else's.

Think about it. Feel.

Remember that moment

which gradually brought
you close to this crime.

'What was it?'

'Who was it?'

'The one who has changed
your entire life!'

First m*rder is always special.

Congratulations.

If it was a m*rder,

think of the warm blood flowing
from body and their screams.

Recollect every single
detail of that moment.

Feel it.

I didn't commit m*rder. You did it.

Then why are you feeling so guilty?

Do you think you'll k*ll me with
that pencil and escape from here?

Try if you want to.

I need cigarettes.
- Not you.

Your mind wants them.

Don't get confused
between both of them.

I need cigarettes ***.

Your feeling of

guilt will

fade away neither by crying
nor by smoking cigarettes.

I just want to tell all of you

that the past has already happened.

Feeling guilty for it is useless.
Forget it.

The cycle of time will go on.

It will go on.

According to ancient
Chinese philosophy,

Yin and yang are
opposite to each other.

Like, truth and lie,
men and women

light and darkness.

Light is born out of darkness.

Darkness is nothing but
the absence of light.

Similarly, sins and good deeds

are the two sides of a coin.

They are a blend.

No one can differentiate
between sins and good deeds.

No one can tell you whether
you've done sins or good deeds.

No scripture of any religion

teaches you to k*ll humans.
- Absolutely correct.

No religion teaches us to k*ll.

Religion only teaches you to live

for the greater purpose.

Nikhil, but religion also teaches

that any deed that is
committed for a good cause

is good in the end.

This is your disgusting opinion.

People are living a normal life.

With morals and values.

Wow! Your morals and
values are very selective.

When it wasn't a matter
of anyone's life

you didn't want
to k*ll anyone.

But as soon as your
family was in danger

you were ready to
k*ll anyone to help me.

What if later I ask you
to choose between

your wife and kid?
- sl*ve!

'You are a sl*ve to your emotions.'

'I want to free you.'

Forget all the guilts
of your past life.

Let go of them.
Nothing will come out of them.

Find a purpose in life.

Keep yourself busy with that.

When this wheel will rotate

then what is up will go down
and what is below will come up.

Truth and lies will
have no meaning.

The defination of good
and evil will change.

You will get your chance to work.

Nikhil,
what I am doing is my destiny.

And my duty too.

You do the same.

I will keep your request
for cigarettes in mind.

Make preparation for the
next assignment right away.

And yes. I'm sending food.

Do eat.

Hi!

Dhananjay Rajpoot.

Kesar Bharadwaj.
I have never seen you before.

I'm new here.

I listen to your podcast.

While driving to work

and driving back.
- Does it work for you?

Yes. Yes, it's very intriguing.

Specially, your theroies

about equillibrium and

balancing of the society

and cyclic universe.
- Yes.

Very nice.
Only when it comes to Karma

it doesn't work for me.

After coming to jail, Karma
theory doesn't work for anyone.

But jail doesn't just
lie in the bars.

The biggest
jail is inside us.

Sir.

DJ can work on this case.

From jail.

You will lead this case.

And I need to know everything.

Right. But sir...
- Everything.

You will not do anything
without my permission.

Understood?

One more thing.

No more heroics. Okay?

Sir, I am sorry

for the last time.

Congratulations, Miss Nusrat Sayed

for your official promotion.

Thank you!

Sir, what is all this?

Your new office.

You don't look good
in jail uniform.

Thank you, sir!

'Core team.'

'Nusrat, Rasul and Lolark.'

'They will work from CFSL.'

'They will come here only
during high emergency.'

'Besides them, Samarth Ahuja.'

'He is a bright, young
forensic pshycologist.'

'He will also join you.'

'Probably, he would give
you a new perspective.'

'DJ, I took a lot of
favours to do all this.'

'And I have broken many rules.'

'Don't let me down.'

Does uncle often stay at home?

Since I grew up

I have always seen uncle quiet.

I think, he has gone crazy.

Where is his house?

We are almost there. Come.

Uncle.

Yashwant sir.

Who are you?

I am Lolark Dubey, from CBI.

He was a strange boy.

He k*lled his father
by poisoning him.

But there was no guilt on his face.

Hold on.

You said, a boy?

Was that a juvenile case?

As per the record,
he was 18 years old.

But he didn't look that old.

'In my span of my


'I had never seen'

'such a person.'

'Since the day he entered the jail'

'even the older convicts'

'got impressed with him.'

'Sometimes he drew weird drawings
on the walls of his cell.'

'For weeks he would stay quiet'

'without speaking to anyone.'

'He just kept reading
the scriptures.'

'But the way he spoke,'

'it seemed like he
controlled everyone.'

What happened after that, sir?

What happened you ask?

'Everything was over!'

'The jail caught fire.'

'Were there any casualties?'

'Yes.'

'Four people died.'

'That boy was one amongst them.'

'Do you have his
photograph with you?'

'I have no photograph.'

'But I do remember his face.'

'Especially his eyes.'

Fine.

You can do one thing.

Yes.

Go to the divisional record room.

Perhaps you could
find something there.

Good morning, sir.

And what is so good
about the morning?

Thank you, sir.

Samarth!

Thank you for the
recommendation.

Sir, I'm a big fan of yours.

I have studied all
your cases very deeply.

Raheja m*rder Case.
Did you read that?

How would that be possible?

There is no such case.

So, let's get started.

Did you check the
traffic footage

after Nikhil got kidnapped?

I didn't find
anything there.

Nothing, is it? Okay.

What about the
nearby buildings

airport and railway stations?

I checked everywhere.
There's no lead.

I guess we have to
start from scratch then?

Come on! Let's get to work.

'Usually there are two
type of serial K*llers?'

'Organized and disorganized.'

'This man is of both the types.'

'His technique of k*lling and
managing the crime scene'

'is meticulous.'

'But the pattern
of every k*lling,'

'the interval between them,'

'and the selection of victims.'

'Everything is disorganized.'

'We have only one way to
understand the k*ller.'

'To study the victims'

'and find the connection.'

Raina, extract information
about the Balinese masks.

Also find out why is the
k*ller using that mask.

Nusrat, what is the
condition of Nikhil's family?

They are worried but
they are holding up.

Drat!

Why did I miss this point?

k*ller is using Nikhil's family

to blackmail him.

It's obvious!

Nusrat, speak with the
police and arrange

for security outside
Nikhil's house.

Sure. I will speak to Naina...

No. Don't speak to her.

She will be stressed
out without a reason.

Yes. Ask the police to
be there in civil clothes

rather than their uniform.

Guys.

I want to know everything
about the victims.

Each and every minute detail.

'My brother's engagement
was in a month.'

'Why would one k*ll such a person?
- What problem one could have?'

'He always took care
of my sister-in-law.'

'She didn't have any social life
between work and her daughter.'

'Her dream was to win a
Nobel Prize in this field.'

'He used to teach accountancy
to slum children in his spare time.'

'Why would one'

'k*ll such a noble person?'

'We spoke to him
for the last time'

'at approximately 9.30 pm.'

'We never thought bad about
him. - Dad had died.'

Sir, I've been going
through these profiles.

There is one thing common
in all the victims.

They are just noble
and rational people.

They have no criminal
record whatsoever.

They are all clean. That's all.

It's wrong to be
good these days.

Yes, Lolark?

'Did you find anything?'

No, sir.

In 2008,
this jail caught fire.

Four prisoners had died in it.

'In order to keep
the record clean'

'jail authorities hid
this from the public.'

Sir, Shubh was one
of the four prisoners.

'He has also died.'

Did they find his body?

No, sir. Everything had
turned to ash.

'It means he's still alive.'

Sir, what are you saying?

Lolark, I've observed
him very carefully.

People like him don't die easily.

'Anyway. Do one thing.'

Talk to his family

and find out what the truth is.

Okay, sir.

The rascal is still alive!

How do you manage
to type after wearing

such a heavy looking ring?

Sir, it was gifted to me by mom.

A priest had told her that
if I don't wear the ring

I won't find myself
a good woman.

A good woman.

Sir, even I don't understand
the logic behind it.

The priests say, that apparently,
our horoscopes show

our entire life profiles.

Sir, I have an idea. Let us
prepare everybody's horoscopes.

You mean, the horoscopes
of the victims. - Yes, sir.

We already have all their details.

Maybe, we'll find out if they
have anything in common.

Why not? Go ahead.

Sure, sir.

Horoscopes.

'This is your next assignment.'

It's impossible.
- 'Why?'

You can't k*ll him.

He's a very famous man. You won't
be able to even get to him.

'It is your job
to find a way out'

'no matter how
difficult the task is.'

Okay.

But I need you to show me
some proof that my family is okay.

You'll soon get it.
- No. I want it now.

Otherwise, I shall not help you.

'Nikhil, not all our desires
can be fulfilled.'

'The choice is yours to make.'

'Do you want some cigarettes'

'or do you want the proof?'

The proof.

So be it.

Hello, Naina.

Why are you doing this?

What do you want from my family?

Nikhil had left India
only because of you.

He had returned
only because of you.

And he got kidnapped.

And for what?

So that you get to
sit here and decide

that the k*ller is Nikhil!

Really? And that's not all.

The police have put my
house under surveillance.

What do you think?

Do you think I don't
know what's going on?

Naina, the police outside
your house is for your security.

Have you ever thought about
why Nikhil is helping the k*ller?

He is doing it in order
to protect you and Riya.

The k*ller is extremely clever.

He can get to you at anytime.

That is why I need
the police outside.

Is this supposed to
make me feel better?

Do you have any idea

what I'm going through?

Yeah. I understand.

Yes, Naina.

I do understand.

I have lost Sandhya forever.

I won't let you go through

what I have gone through.

I'll find him.

You need to go home.

Riya needs you.

I'm only a phone call
away from you.

You can call me at any time.

I need you to trust me a little.

'Please stay away from my family.'

'Your family will only be alive as
long as I want them to be alive.'

'Nikhil, this is
your last warning.'

'You will get to see
their body parts'

'in the video next time.'

Are all of your records

in this room?
- Yes, sir.

Nobody comes here too often.

I can see that.

Sir, please come here.
- Yes.

Yeah. Dust them right near my face.
- Sorry, sir.

What is this?

'Shubh, you won't be
able to understand.'

'Whatever is happening,
is happening for the right reasons.'

'How can the wrong ever be right?'

'Shubh, look...'

'Maybe, one day you will understand.
- Maybe.'

'But I promise you, that you
shall definitely understand.'

'Take him away.'
