Be back in a bit.

Get out!

837

Shakti Salgaonkar.

837

Absent, sir.

Okay.

Shekhar, you're with Murli today.

And, Ayush.

You're on your own.

That was amazing, Shamil.

This will be our solo opening act, for the next week's recital.

-I am putting up your name. -Yes, ma'am.

Okay?

Thank you, ma'am.

Good morning, sir.

Don't you have classes?

I was missing you.

Just wanted to see you.

What happened?

Why do you look fucked up?

Nothing.

You know I hate it when you lie.

And I always-

always know when you lie.

So out with it.

What's up?

I think you're making a huge mistake, Pri.

West Coast is a waste of time.

There, I said it.

A degree is a degree.

What about local courses?

Take a break, prepare from home.

We discussed this.

Just asking.

Is this why you are here?

I am planning long-term. For both of us.

You survived being the only girl in class.

You can survive anything.

But I doubt I can.

For two years we've been planning to move out together.

But I guess it doesn't matter to you.

You find satisfaction in small things.

Oh, come on, Pri.

Pritika.

Yes, Sanju.

Arya's father paid us a visit.

Why?

I wasn't sure about what to tell him.

He was so upset. Mr. Jain.

Arya's only with us for eight hours.

Rest of the time he's on his own.

That's when these incidents happened.

He's 11-year-old, Nandita.

We cannot question him like this.

And on whose authority did you do this?

Finding the root cause of his anger issues was important.

You should have consulted me.

See, you're a career counsellor.

Your job should be related to his studies.

That's it.

I've seen drastic changes in his behaviour in the past couple of months.

I was curious to find out what was going on.

See, his parents have just had a second child.

So Arya's just feeling a little left out.

I personally had a word with them.

He refuses to return to school.

I know you've been here for less than a year, but

we take this kind of things seriously here.

So going forward, could you please just...

be a little more careful.

Want some?

No, thank you.

Our boys after they won the trophy, with the Japanese physicist Kobayashi.

And this is the Shanghai team with the boys.

They worked really hard.

Their focus and dedication even startled me.

We were naive when we were 14.

We were primitive.

This generation, I tell you...

I'm learning more from them.

But I've a bone to pick.

You're out hunting a headmaster for Seagull,

and not a peek.

Sam, you bastard.

Would you quit the legendary RISE,

and join our school?

Why not?

I mean, I know RISE is my first love, but...

it's been 20 years.

I want to try something new.

Let's build a new madhouse, Sethia.

What do you say?

Even your saying this is an honour to me.

But...

Students these days and their parents,

get too involved.

Dealing with them requires a different skill set.

Do you think

will you be able to adjust with them?

What do you think I am doing now?

With the other headmaster?

I'll talk to the board.

Thank you.

I know they will say yes.

Excuse me.

Give me a minute.

And lunch is on me.

Don't you dare argue about it.

Sam, you...

Temperature's normal.

Did you take your pills?

I was missing mom.

I called her but couldn't say anything.

You think I'm weak, right?

If you wanted to call home, you could have told me.

You weren't around.

I've been puking all morning.

You have no time for me...

I just had a fallout with Pri.

Spare me the indignation.

Vikram sir.

Jogi sir's summon.

You've been asked to report to Sam Sir house.

Okay, go.

This is absolutely confidential, okay.

Shakti Salgaonkar, 837.

Class 7A

has been absent from classes all day.

I did some asking around,

but no one's seen him.

Breakfast, lunch or anywhere else.

Do you guys have any idea where he could be?

Sir, I saw him yesterday night.

Sir, I gave his dorm attendance.

He was definitely there.

I see.

Then he must be around.

We need to find this boy ASAP.

And give him an orange card, okay.

Do a thorough check of all the dorms,

classrooms, toilets, labs, and everywhere.

Every inch.

For all you know, this may be some elaborate prank.

Bhanu, Vikram.

Check all the dorms and report back to me. Okay.

Jogi.

Trevor.

Classrooms.

Okay.

And Jogi,

you speak to all the other house captains, as well.

If you can't find him anywhere.

But discreet is the word, okay.

This is a house matter.

But, sir,

what do we say, if someone asks

why we're looking for him?

I mean, other house captains, they would definitely ask.

Just make up an excuse. You're so good at it.

Come on.

Be smart, guys.

Go on, now.

Sir.

Yeah, okay.

Thanks, sir.

I am going to use the washroom.

Okay.

Pick one.

Thank you, sir.

Can I clean the fish tank?

It's covered in mould. Guess you didn't syphon the water either.

Leave it.

We've more pressing matters at hand.

What happened?

Are you alright?

Can I wait here for a while?

I don't want to be at the dorms right now.

Everyone is getting on my nerves.

You know, this Shakti thing is...

stressing me out.

I don't know how useful the others will be,

but I am counting on you.

Can you please take charge?

Thank you.

'Hey...'

Yes sir. I'll check.

Yes sir.

I'll arrange the rest in a couple of days.

Don't stop the consignment.

Clients are calling repeatedly.

Then dance on the ringtone.

We aren't a bank,

where we'll buy your excuses.

I swear I'll pay up this time.

We know you will, asshole.

Because if you don't, your ass will belong to Masterji.

Get it.

You'll be living your mum's dream,

of attending school.

We've eyes on you and your runt.

We'll cough that money out of you.

You have four days.

Out.

Get lost.

Out.

♪A lonely night♪

♪With silence in tow♪

Lovely place.

Sorry for calling you such last minute.

Hope you weren't busy.

Not at all.

Did I tell you about the summit?

It's supposed to happen in Cochin.

I was browsing through the flight timings.

Nice.

Think again.

It will be a much-needed break.

Come along.

The resort is beautiful.

You don't need to go out. It won't be hectic.

I promise.

What is the problem?

Nothing.

Papa isn't used to being alone.

No, please. I am not hungry.

Is it sea-facing?

The resort.

Send me a video.

Of the resort, not yours.

Good evening, sir.

Terribly sorry to make a house call so late,

but it's a bit urgent.

Tell me.

Actually, sir, we've a bit of a situation.

There's this boy.

Rajpat House...

Shakti Salgaonkar.

837. Class 7A.

He...

We can't seem to find him anywhere, sir.

He's not been seen in the dorms,

or school today.

That's not good.

Have you checked with the other kids?

What about his parents? His local guardians.

I did speak to some of the kids.

They saw him in the dorm last night.

But they are not sure about this morning?

Maybe he left for school early in the morning,

and got away from there.

I didn't want to ask too many questions, because

I was trying to avoid chaos.

But we did check the school and the outer bounds.

When did you come to know?

Lunchtime.

It's been more than six hours, Sam, since you know.

Why didn't you inform me earlier?

-I don't understand this-- -This kind of thing happens.

Kids run away sometimes into other dorms,

sometimes outside, sometimes in town.

It's no big deal.

We always find them.

My boys are looking.

This is not what I asked.

This is about transparency.

Why do I feel you refuse to be transparent with me?

This is my house matter, sir.

I've to handle it on my own, before I bring it up to you.

I was just following protocol.

I am going to send a search party.

After that, I am calling the cops.

Why involve cops now?

These are kids. They jump bound all the time.

A whole day has gone by, Sam, and no one has seen this kid, right?

Don't you think the parents should know?

Also, the rules say 'we've to notify the police after six hours'.

Respectfully, sir, if there's a crisis in the house,

we solve it in the house.

If it's in the school, we solve it in the school.

That's the first and foremost rule of boarding.

We need to call the guardian at least.

No, they haven't been telling me much.

I am confused.

Yes.

Yes.

Okay. I'll call you if there's any update.

Yes.

Uncle and Aunt will return in the morning.

They have booked the next flight.

So if Shakti decides to go there, he'll find the house locked.

Any news from the search party?

Maybe Shakti's just lingering around.

I have cancelled all meetings for tomorrow.

And I am cancelling Thailand too.

Listen, Trish.

Why don't you just let me come?

You don't have to go alone.

I'll stay in the car if you want me to.

Please don't make it so hard for me, Adil.

School, family... will have several questions.

I don't wanna do this right now.

I'll call if I need you.

Any word from Anirudh?

Still out of network.

Sunil.

-miss. -Yes?

You didn't get the catheter?

I even dropped you a voice note.

Just use a diaper tonight. I'll get one in the morning.

Okay, miss.

And reheat dinner. I am starving.

Alright.

[television playing]

Don't toss around too much.

Call me if you need anything.

Any news about my son?

We're looking for him, ma'am.

Our search party was looking till three in the morning.

We'll be resuming it right away.

I can assure you, ma'am--

What are the police saying? Where are they?

Ma'am, we checked his dorm, and there were some things missing.

Protocol dictates that we ascertain with both the parents,

that the child is not with them.

But when we tried to call Mr. Salgaonkar,

it said the number did not exist.

It exists.

His father has been out of the grid for a few months now.

Ma'am...

we just want to make sure that Shakti is not with his father,

before we call the police.

And, you know, spread panic among the rest of the kids.

As you can understand, it's a very delicate situation, ma'am.

Of course, it is.

My son is missing under your guardianship, Mr. Samuel.

And no, he's not with his father.

Can we call the cops...

now?

I want my son.

Keep up, Shakti.

Faster.

Faster, Shakti.

This place swarms with leopards.

Their favourite meal is little goats, dogs and kids like you.

You're fucking slow.

You knew this area was steep.

Because I was winning the rest of the time.

But I won at the end.

You know this place like the back of your hand.

Right.

This is where I escape when dad gets violent.

Since I was a kid.

Sometimes I wait it out here.

Doesn't it scare you?

Red kerchief trap of a fool.

It's not a kerchief, stupid.

It's a dapostar.

For juggling.

Wait.

Let me show you.

Let me try.

What's that?

It's my tuck box.

Truck box?

That's 'tuck' box.

For stashing food.

We buy food with food at the hostel.

No one has money.

Even I never pay for food.

Does it fall from the sky then?

I eat whatever I can find.

Are you hungry?

Wait. Let me show you.

Come on. Don't be so hard.

Please. I'll make up for it later.

Try this.

Impressive.

You call this food?

You didn't like it because it just lacks pepper and salt.

Otherwise, I am a pretty good cook.

I'll show you someday.

Just don't abandon the mission.

Never.

You think she knows,

she's consuming her own child?

He probably made friends here.

Then why did he run?

He's been taken.

Taken

Just last month.

Shakti ran away six days ago.

You'll give me 200,000 rupees.

You have three days.

You just watched and said nothing!

-I heard he helped Shakti escape. -Chanchal.

I just met TK. He's in a worse condition than you are.

What is wrong?

Tell everyone that you haven't seen Shakti.

Was he with Shakti that night?

I didn't see anyone

Just tell these seniors what they like to hear.

I want to run faster than you.

I want my son Chanchal.

Get away!

I am really scared, sir.
