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.

Angad Mallik!

Omi, where's my son, Maroot?

Where is Maroot, Omi?

Dad!

Maroot!

Let go of Montoo, take your son
and leave without a word.

Dad!

Maroot! Where are you?

-Maroot!
-Dad, save me!

Maroot! Maroot, where are you?

Maroot!

Maroot.

Dad, save me.

Maroot!

Dad, save me.

Maroot!

-Dad, save me!
-Maroo…

Maroot?

-Maroot!
-Help me, Dad!

Dad!

Dad, save me!

You're too gullible, Inspector.

What did you think?
I'll leave your son alive?

What would I tell Babloo then?

Dad, save me!

Maroot has already met his end,
now you will meet yours, too.

Omi!

Maroot!

Nutan?

Nutan, what are you doing inside?

Nutan!

-Mom, my book.
-Wait a minute.

-Nutan!
-What's going on early in the morning?

Didn't I tell you
that her exam didn't go well?

Nutan! Nutan, open the door! Open…

-What?
-Why weren't you opening the door, dear?

Sorry, I slept late.

-The bed hasn't been slept in.
-Shut up, wannabe detective!

Keep your investigations to yourself.

Nutan?

Come with me to the room.

Come and sit down.

-Now, tell me.
-What happened, Mom?

Something's definitely
troubling you a lot. What's the matter?

Mom, I'm…

-I'm going to fail.
-Don't say that!

If one paper went badly, that's okay.
Nothing will happen.

Not just bad, Mom,

I left the entire paper blank.

Why?

I don't know. I really don't know.

Don't worry about it, okay?

-Now?
-We've got some interesting footage.

It might be of use later.

Come, let's go and have coffee.

What happened to this?

Hari! Can you drop me to the SP's office?

-Okay, I'll drop you. Come.
-I'm coming.

Okay, never mind, Hari.

Bloody rascal!

-Jai Hind, sir.
-Jai Hind, sir.

Sir! Sir.

Your rebuke worked like magic.

Your single reprimand made the telecom
company send all the call records.

Kanti, Julie, Gagan, Govind and Sundar,
everyone's records came.

Only Bunty's records are pending.

Very good, let's go through
all of them today.

-Today?
-Shall we?

In the last three days, many calls were
made from Julie's phone to this number.

But this number never responded.

But on 8th November,
four days prior to Aimee's m*rder,

there were two conversations
with this number,

once for three minutes,
once for six-and-a-half minutes.

-Ma'am, should I dial the number?
-No, they'll get suspicious.

Mr. Rana, check on Freecaller.

Maybe some relative, or a friend?

Could belong to a tourist.
A lot of foreigners come here.

There's no name mentioned here.

Find out the name and address
from the telecom company.

Sure.

Hey, there was a call between
this number and Sundar's number.

On the night of 13th November,
at 12:16 a.m.

When Sundar went to Hotel Bom
to look for Aimee.

As soon as Mr. Rana gets the details,
we'll bring in Julie and this caller.

These are Kanti's records,
nothing suspicious here.

You can double-check if you want.

You've checked it, that should be enough.

Now, it's your turn.

Gagan's and Mr. Govind's call records?

Gagan, your favorite.

He has passed with distinction,
hardly made any calls.

Because he's busy with his studies
all day long. Scholar.

And my second favorite, Mr. Govind?

I found nothing.

I'm not surprised at all.

Mr. Rana, check all the records
once again, however long it takes.

-Who was it?
-An unknown number.

A woman called.

Mr. Negi, please follow up with those guys
at the Sironah Civil Hospital.

Will they give Bunty's DNA report,
or should I go there myself?

Sure.

I don't know what compelled Bunty
to take responsibility for the crime.

-Mr. Rana?
-Sir, it's from home…

Please go home.

Go.

Jai Hind, sir.

Given any thought to
what we should do about him?

Shall we pull up his call records too?

-Jai Hind, sir.
-Jai Hind.

Jai Hind, sir.

I had forgotten to give this invite.
The wedding's tonight.

Mr. Manhas has invited
both of you as well.

Is Bunty's chargesheet ready?

There are a few missing links.

-Like?
-Like Sundar's m*rder, sir.

Was there any connection
with Sundar's m*rder?

We found Bunty's CCTV footage.

When we went to arrest him,
someone beat us to it.

I was asking about Sundar's m*rder.

That's what, sir.
There's an informant who--

An informant?

Sundar took Kanti's name,
this was known only at our police station.

Any suspicion on an insider?

We're all insiders in this police station.

And if one of us is a traitor,
then the public won't spare us.

See, Bunty has already confessed.

You are getting caught up in coincidences.

How can there be an informant
in our police station?

You guys are unnecessarily wasting time.

File the chargesheet as soon as possible,
and close this case.

We'll close this case very soon, sir.

-Thank you, sir. Jai Hind.
-Jai Hind, sir.

Jai Hind.

You've been looking
at that noose since morning.

It's just a noose.

No.

Every noose
has a distinct origin, Ramsaran.

The moment I find out
where this originated from,

the Leopard-Man will be caught in my trap.

But the government
will hang my son on a noose, right?

Even though he hasn't done anything.

Don't worry, nothing will happen to him.

He'll be released.

I hope I don't die by then, Mahadev.

You said that you'd go to the jungle
and have the Mystery Mushrooms.

As if the unknown Mystery Mushroom
is a panacea,

and the Leopard-Man an apothecary.

What happened? All that is a lie, right?

No, it's not a lie.

It's the truth.
But no truth is ultimate, Mahadev.

A lot of people entered the jungle,

but only a few made it out.

Sergeant, who are you going to hang?

Him.

The Leopard-Man. I'll nab him someday.

You don't remember his face at all?

-Where did you get this?
-I made it myself.

Who taught you? Mr. Govind?

Who is this Govind?

The owner of Cafe Sironah.

The one who teaches kids
how to make scoobies.

This…

isn't child's play, do you understand?

Come on.

You were getting very pally with Ramsaran?

That junkie has lost his mind.

He says he will go to the jungle
and bring the Mystery Mushroom,

and get cured after consuming it.
As if the Leopard-Man is his friend.

Inspector Angad was saying

that the Leopard-Man
is just a figment of imagination.

What do I do about it?

Come.

If you were in my place,
wouldn't you have done this too?

Drink some water.

Do give us an opportunity
to thank you some day.

The resort will be made, with or without
Jagdamba's help. Am I right?

Dad! I can't tie the knot properly.
Can you do it?

I've tried a lot, still can't do it.

Dad!

-Dad, gently.
-Are you okay?

Leave it, I won't wear it.

You will have to wear this
your entire life, son.

This is the noose
that bureaucrats have to wear.

Ramsaran must've come.

-How are you, Ramsaran?
-I'm fine, by God's grace, sir.

Take these clothes,
they'll come in handy in the cold weather.

And yes,

don't worry about the treatment.
Keep the money.

Sir, my son, Bunty, he…

Ramsaran, why should you
have to pay for your son's crimes?

Yeah? Don't get in the middle of this.

Someone's implicating him, sir.
He is not like that.

I can't do anything about this.

Everyone thinks that their son is right,
and everyone else is wrong.

Take care of yourself.

But, sir…

If I hadn't helped you, you would've been
on trial for that night's incident.

What help? You sent me back to jail.

If you can't be of actual help,
please don't keep calling me.

You have no idea
how much I am doing for you, Kanti.

-What did Mr. Mahadev want?
-I don't know.

He is a junkie.
I don't know what he's looking for.

Who is it?

I'll come along for the wedding?

If it was a friend's
or a relative's wedding,

we could've gone together.

This is a professional obligation.

As per the invitation,
two people are invited.

So, two of us are going, Angad and me.

With Angad?

As a couple?

What are you doing, Hari? Let me go.

My saree will get ruined. Hari…

Leave me,
I haven't even done anything yet.

Even I haven't done anything yet, Hari.
Keep this in mind.

-Do you kids use ink pens?
-Yes.

Yes, Uncle, we have to write
all the exams with ink pens.

Ballpoint pens are not allowed.

Say thanks, you idiot.

Grandpa!

-Did you like it?
-Yeah.

Your mom told me
that your test didn't go well.

Yes, I might fail the test.

Even I had failed once.

In fact, I had blanked out
for the entire four years.

At that time, I used to feel
that nothing can happen,

no one understands us.

Do you feel the same, Nutan?

No, I don't feel this way, Uncle.

Yes.

-Shall we go?
-Yeah, sure.

Hey, sis, do you have
an older sister called Kasturi?

Shut up, you naughty child, go and study!

Allow me.

-He got a little upset.
-Okay.

He wanted to go to the wedding.
He likes these things.

-The grandeur, and dressing up.
-Yeah.

We only have one life to live,
and you look nice dressed up.

-Is it?
-Yeah, very nice.

-One minute, let's take Hari along.
-No, let it be.

Actually, we're having
some marital problems.

All right.

You mentioned that
you don't have a family.

Yeah, I don't. Actually, I'm divorced.

Was it a love marriage?

Yes, we were dating since college.
What about you and Hari?

No. Actually, I fell in love
with the Sergeant.

I mean, it was a father-daughter,
teacher-student kind of love.

I trained under him.

After graduation, I was recruited by
the police force on sports quota.

Which sport?

Wow, that's amazing. Do you still do it?

Actually, no. I don't get the time for it.

On top of that, going to
and returning from Himmat Nagar alone,

I couldn't keep up with it.

The Sergeant had made me his shadow.
Wherever he went, he would take me along.

-Like a teacher and student.
-Absolutely.

Actually, he wanted Hari
to join the police force.

This is what happens normally.
The legacy continues in the family.

Was Hari not interested in the force?

No, the force wasn't interested in him.

He tried thrice, and failed every time.

Then the Sergeant spoke to my dad,

and made me his daughter-in-law.

And was Hari running
the Internet café from before?

No. He gets fed up with one venture
in six months or a year tops.

He likes variety.

-When did you get divorced?
-Two years back.

I know I shouldn't ask, but why?
What caused it?

Sorry, I shouldn't have asked.

Over our child.

A boy, or a girl?

A boy.

Is he with your wife?

Hostel?

Shall we go? Let's go inside.

-Jai Hind, sir.
-Jai Hind.

-Jai Hind. Is everything under control?
-Yes, ma'am.

Okay.

Welcome.

-Congratulations, sir.
-Thank you very much.

-You only want juice, or a little…
-I have stopped drinking.

-And you?
-I never started it.

Look at this,
you never started, he stopped,

what kind of police officers are these?

But it's good. At least you guys
caught that tourist girl's k*ller.

-What do you say, Mr. Bhaati?
-Absolutely. We've almost closed the case.

These guys are doing a great job.

The tourists shouldn't
get scared away, that's all.

Absolutely, sir.

-Isn't it?
-Yes.

Please enjoy yourselves.

-Mr. Mishra?
-Yes…

When are the results out, Gagan?

Soon, Auntie. Meanwhile, I'm going to
Delhi to get coaching for interviews.

-All the best.
-Thank you, Auntie.

Your dreams will soon be fulfilled, bhabi.

I can't tell you how happy I am.

The entire credit goes to Gagan.

He puts his heart and soul
into the preparation.

To you too, son.

Mr. Manhas, she is not agreeing.

So get her to agree somehow.

I want the approval for the resort
as soon as possible.

I won't wait any longer.

I'll try again. I'll speak to Jagdamba.

Alok? Let's go
and talk to those police officers.

-Come on.
-What?

Hi, I'm Zarine from Life Unlimited.
How are you doing?

Can I ask you two questions?

I don't promise any answers.

So, my first question is…
Alok, put the camera down.

Would you like an incredible piece
of information in the Aimee m*rder case?

What information do you have?

In exchange for that information,

can I get an exclusive interview
with Bunty Rawat?

What do you have on you?

Hey, not here.

Tomorrow morning, at the police station.
Tell us the time.

At 9:30 a.m.

But the information better be worth it.

I can assure you
that you won't be disappointed.

Angad, what happened?
Who are you looking for?

That Omi, who took away Maroot from me,
he's here. I saw him.

Angad? Angad!
