Original subtitles

Multiple wounds.

Blunt force trauma on the head.

Shards of glass in her hair.

Looks like she was hit with a bottle.

A knife wound in her abdomen.

Likely an internal haemorrhage.

Clotted bruises in the thighs.

Possibility of rape.

Any semen traces?

Since the body was underwater for long,

tracing any body fluids or semen would be tough.

And cause of death?

Asphyxia by drowning.

Her lungs were filled with water.

Was she alive when the car was dumped into the water?

Yes.

Thank you, Doctor.

Gautam, send them in.

All right.

Ma'am, please come.

- Where? - Please.

Come, let's go.

Shh!

My child!

Ma'am, you can't.

What happened to my daughter?

The car in which my daughter was found... Whose was it?

Sir, please tell me.

Was Naina found in the water?

Don't worry. We'll make sure that whoever did this doesn't get away.

What happened to her?

Look at her feet.

Look at her feet!

They've been tied.

Why have they tied it?

We're waiting for the autopsy.

We'll inform you as soon as we have more details.

Sir, let's complete the formalities.

First rule of investigation is to never give false hope.

You've ever seen a movie

where the hero says, "Maybe we'll catch your son's killer"?

This isn't a movie where you'll get the answers by the climax.

Finding those answers is our job.

But what they really want to know is not when, how or who.

The real question they have is, "Why us?"

Can you answer that question?

I'm speaking from experience, Jai.

We're not the heroes of anyone's life. Okay?

That's not what my experience says.

Das.

We found this near the quarry.

Run a full test. Check for any fingerprints.

Yes, sir.

Any update from Tushar Surve's office?

- I was just heading there. - Good.

- You also go with him. - What?

Sir, I've already missed today's flight.

I'm leaving for Ahmedabad tomorrow morning.

It's a sensitive case.

A well-known politician is involved in this case.

I need you.

Sir, I told you

- about my house-warming-- - Your house warming is in 10 days.

I'm only asking for 48 hours of your time.

Postpone the flight to the day after.

- Sir, but-- - When something

like this happens, it's like tossing meat

in the middle of a street.

The moment this news is out, all the vultures

in the city will start circling around it,

wanting to grab a share.

Politicians, media...

The whole circus will be on the streets.

Where politics takes over,

even tragedy becomes an agenda.

And the second they get a chance,

people will claim that the police didn't do their job.

And I do not want that.

- But, sir-- - Sir, I understand, but--

I want my best officer on this case.

You know this very well.

I can't hand this case over to a newbie.

Okay, sir. But only for two days.

- All right. - Newbie?

So, what do I do until then?

Get on with it.

Pradeep Bhosale has announced his women's safety app.

- What? I knew this would happen.

We shouldn't have cancelled the programme.

That's your problem, Tushar. You're too gullible, man.

Who leaked this information?

Fuck!

This is a straight-up rip-off of our app.

Including a feature on "How to raise your sons."

This can't be a coincidence.

Now that sleazeball

will teach people how to raise their sons!

Has everybody forgotten his Igatpuri scandal?

We need to put up a statement on social media

and make it clear that this was our idea.

And who'd believe that?

We've got proof, man. We've been at this for months.

- Can we just launch the app today? No.

That's impossible! Give it at least a day or two.

- We'll make it happen. - Then forget it.

Raksha is right.

Hi, love. Sorry I missed your call.

Not tomorrow. We're leaving in a few days.

What? Plan cancel?

It's not cancelled, just delayed. Okay?

Listen, your dinner--

At least someone can cut you off once in a while.

Like I said, you and my daughter

have a lot in common.

Alliance with the Prerna Shakti Party

is now very crucial to us.

When is the meeting?

Sir... the police are here.

Any news about that student? Is she okay?

That's what we want to discuss with you.

Is this your car?

No, this belongs to our campaign fleet.

Only those cars have these stickers.

Oh, so it's your campaign car?

Yes, correct.

Sure? Can I lock it?

Absolutely.

The thing is a girl's body was found in this car.

What?

Whose body?

She's a student. Naina Marathe.

Do you know her?

- No. - Like I said,

we have around 20 cars like this.

If you'd like, I can get you in touch with our transport manager.

We'll speak to him too.

You're a trustee at Elouis College, right?

- Yes. - Where were you last night?

I had hosted a dinner for my party workers last night.

Everyone was at our Seawoods office.

Is it common for you to host ragers in your party office?

Calm down, boss.

- Do you even know who he is? - Do you?

Sahil.

The dinner went on till about 11:30 p.m.

I went home right after that.

If you'd like, you can check with my building security,

Sir, this security guard of yours, does he also sleep with you?

ACP Kanwal, I'll make one call to the Home Ministry

and you'll be facing an inquiry.

Big connections, huh?

Jai, go and talk to the transport manager.

I'll handle things here.

She's right.

Shall we?

Come on.

Please come.

I understand that this isn't your car. It's a campaign vehicle.

But this is protocol.

Were you home alone last night,

or can someone else corroborate your whereabouts?

- I-- - I was with him.

Okay.

Both of you will have to come

to the department and give a statement.

But before that, we'd like to issue an online statement

clarifying this isn't Tushar's personal car.

That could affect our investigation.

Please refrain from releasing any statement for now.

I'm sorry, but that's not your decision to make.

Right now, we only have one advantage.

Whoever did this is unaware that the body has been found. Right?

So any statement could alert the killer.

So...

Tushar, if this news leaks from elsewhere,

the opposition will feed on our campaign.

- How much more time do you need? - One more day.

- Okay. - Tushar!

- We'll wait. - Thank you.

- But I have a request too. - Okay.

Please do inform us before releasing any statement.

Thank you.

Any update?

You better get this straight!

I really don't appreciate the way you spoke to me inside.

You're not my boss.

I was just doing my job.

Doing the job and doing it right

are two different things.

Hopefully, you'll learn the difference.

We have to release a statement.

These cops are often in cahoots with the media.

This news will definitely get leaked.

Didn't you hear what ACP Das said?

It could affect their investigation.

For a change, I agree with Raksha.

News nowadays is nothing but a narrative.

It's very important that we control the narrative.

And this is a golden opportunity, Tushar.

You can visit that girl's parents.

Exactly!

In fact, now's the perfect time

for us to announce our Women's Safety Proposal.

A young girl has been murdered,

and you both want to use her parents as a photo op?

What the hell is wrong with you, man!

Ridiculous!

Sahil, before Bhosale rips us apart,

find out how our car is linked to this

and who the heck was driving it that night.

Mukesh Sangla. Driver of the campaign car.

This is what a bad guy looks like. Not hard to tell, is it?

He took the car to Naina's college, but never came back.

He's still missing and his phone is switched off too.

The transport manager has filed an FIR in Vashi.

You found his address?

I've spoken to Shinde.

He said there's a place in Belapur where he hangs out.

Let's check it out.

Looks like our country's favourite fall guy

might actually be guilty this time.

The driver.

Again the empty gun?

Do one thing, sell this gun and get a toy gun instead.

We're going to question a driver, not some gang lord.

And how will he know if the gun's loaded or not?

No, Mukesh!

I just want to talk to you, that's it!

- Let go of me! - I didn't steal the car!

I'm not going back to jail. No way!

Nothing will happen to you. I'm here to help you, okay?

Why did you take the campaign car to the college yesterday?

To drop off the party stuff.

- Then? - Then I felt extremely dizzy

after smoking up.

So I left the car and the keys there

and went straight to the hospital.

- Which hospital? - Shakti Nidhi Hospital.

- Okay. I will help you. - I'm not going back to jail!

- You'll be fine. - I said I'm not going back!

You'll be fine!

Relax.

Phone!

It's just my phone, relax.

Did you see this girl at the college?

Yes.

- Okay. - Yes, her and a skull...

Skull?

Jai!

Mukesh...

It's okay! Calm down, Mukesh!

Wait!

Mukesh!

Do you have any idea what you've done?

I had Mukesh under control.

He was about to talk and you scared him off.

I saw how you were controlling him.

You chased him with an empty gun, and now you're yelling at me?

Had I not arrived and fired that shot,

you would've been in the hospital right now, and not him.

- He wasn't lying. - Oh, come on.

Ever heard the saying, "Guilty conscience always flinches?"

He ran for a reason.

First, head to Shakti Nidhi Hospital

and check whether Mukesh was there last night or not. Got it?

Ma'am, please sign here.

Go!

So there's no one in your crime branch to cover for you?

This case is important, Mom. That's why I have to stay back.

It's not a big deal. I'll be out of here in two days.

And what did Bheesham say?

What would he say? Nothing. He actually understands.

He said it's okay.

Poor guy! Like you ever give him a choice.

He's been alone for two years now.

Yeah, so? Another two days won't make a difference.

You're just like your father.

Instead of being married to his wife, he was married to his job.

At least work doesn't throw shade at me.

Your dad's bosses would always say

that there's no one as good as him.

But when he had a heart attack, they replaced him in just two days.

Smart kids always learn from their parents' mistakes.

Good morning!

Good morning, dear.

You're up so early today?

I have booked tickets for the day after tomorrow.

And get started with your coursework now,

or you'll lag behind when you join school there.

You take your time, Mom. Your work comes first.

At least eat breakfast properly.

In five minutes.

Saw that? Early morning, good mood, and she even replied in Bengali.

Of course she's in a good mood!

She was out all night with her no-good friends.

Just so you know, she came home at 1 a.m.

- 1 a.m.? - Still better than you.

Since you came at 2 a.m. last night!

The number you are calling...

You said you won't issue any statement.

And we haven't.

The news must've leaked from somewhere else.

Didn't I tell you?

We'll be issuing a statement now.

Before our campaign car bit also leaks.

The campaign car detail will remain confidential.

Please trust me.

ACP Das, we have to release a statement now.

Otherwise, we...

I will look guilty.

So, I'm very sorry and...

- Hello. - Hello.

Are they that girl's parents?

Look, if this information lands in the wrong hands,

then the investigation could be hampered.

Now the decision is yours.

Do you want to do what's right?

Or what's right for you?

Okay, we'll wait.

But only till tomorrow.

Thank you.

Was Naina interested in youth politics?

Politics? So the news is true?

The news can make anyone into a criminal.

And honestly, it could be anyone.

A friend, a stranger or someone close.

No. We still don't know anything.

- Please give us some more time. - How much more time do you need?

Shh!

- Madam, the report-- - "No report has come in yet.

- "There's no update." - Payal, calm down.

- When will the report come? - We're trying our best.

- What is all this? - Just wait.

Why should I?

Mr. Marathe, I'll call you as soon as the reports come in.

We've lost our daughter!

Please don't yell.

Let's go.

I've checked Mukesh Sangla's record. He's got a history of petty thefts.

Was he at the hospital or not?

Yes, he was.

From 9:00 p.m. till 11:00 a.m. the next day.

I was right. He really was scared.

What is this? Are you running a food joint here?

Hey, hold on.

I want to eat that.

I can't think when I'm hungry.

I don't think the food is helping.

You're just jealous of my metabolism.

Tushar Surve had come in along with that woman from his office.

Okay.

They've given a statement saying he was home all night.

I checked their call records too. They're telling the truth.

Now, with your permission, I'd like to share a new theory.

Go on.

I've hit a jackpot with Naina's phone. Her social media account.

Very good!

So, here's my suspect number two, Ojas Adhikari.

Naina's classmate and ex-boyfriend.

Oh!

This picture

was posted two months back.

Naina had posted this on her social media account.

Naina and Ojas were dating each other.

Then they broke up.

Naina moved on, but Ojas couldn't.

He bombarded her with messages.

A jilted lover is like a pet snake.

Ready to strike when least expected.

Did Naina post all this?

Yes, but not from her main account.

What do you mean?

Her private account.

There's a main account for parents

and the rest of the world.

And then there's a private one just for close friends.

You should know. You have a 16-year-old daughter.

- Yes, but I'm not 16. - But you are a cop, right?

What was Naina's phone's last location?

College. Then her phone went off after 8:00 p.m.

Same as the campaign car's last location, right?

- So that means our next stop is-- - College.

- Yes, Bheesham. - This is the limit, Sanyukta.

Hold on.

I know. I'm sorry. Things got very hectic here.

You missed your flight. Didn't even bother calling.

There's a lot going on here. Seriously.

Can I stay a few more days?

Rathi sir has put me on hold.

Are you asking me? No. Not again.

Don't pin this on me and make me look like that bad guy.

Bad guy? I didn't do anything! Why are you being so dramatic?

I am being dramatic?

Mahi missed her school orientation. Sure, that is not a big deal.

Let's tell Uncle and Aunty also to cancel their flight.

Why make a big deal about this house-warming?

No. Our tickets are already booked for the day after.

I... I'll be there. I promise.

Okay, can I call you tonight, please?

Why do you even ask?

Call me when it's convenient for you.

Ridiculous!

I must admit your generation is really good at romance.

Well, we're good at one more thing.

- And what's that? - Minding our own business.

Okay.

Hey, Rocky! My boy!

Good boy.

Rocky!

Rocky's not like other dogs.

He won't budge unless there is something in it for him.

Rocky.

Rocky seems to have picked up politics from you, Ms. Jhanvi.

Stick with me, and you'll also learn.

By the way, I've already discussed

our alliance internally. But...

Tushar, no doubt your "Save the Mangroves" campaign

has made you a fan favourite.

But this buzz on social media

isn't enough to win the elections.

At the end of the day, it's the votes that count.

Don't underestimate the power of social media.

What the youth wants is written loud

and clear in their comments and likes.

And all the political experts believe that

Tushar's chances of winning are sky-high.

If the chances were really that high,

why would you two even be here?

The truth is you need this alliance more than I do.

So, if I agree to help you...

You want something in return, right?

Tell me, Jhanvi.

Pradeep Bhonsle's party has been holding back

my medical college licence for a while now.

According to him, it's a waste of time and money.

Education means nothing to him.

But Tushar's really passionate about education.

Wonderful!

Then I'm sure Tushar will help make my dream a reality.

Right, Rocky? Come, buddy!

Good boy.

Congratulations.

At least look a little happy.

An alliance with Jhanvi means we'll definitely win.

We should tell her everything about our campaign car and the case.

Alliances are built on trust.

And politics is based on power.

And information is power.

Handing over that information ourselves means

that the alliance will happen on her terms, not ours.

Right now, we only have one option.

You have to issue the statement.

That way, we're not hiding anything from her

or giving her any leverage over us.

Sir, is the data fully transferred?

That you should tell me, right?

Yes.

Sir, if you need any help with the case, please let me know.

I hope you find the culprit soon.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

No sauce?

Did you speak to Randhir Jha?

Got the data dump.

Some photos from the fest two days ago

along with Naina's academic record.

She was a topper. No complaints either.

What about the key

- we found near her body-- - It doesn't match her locker.

I checked.

What time did she leave the fest?

Students said she left early. Around 9:00-9:30 p.m.

- And when did the fest end? - Around 10:30 p.m.

What kind of costumes are these?

It was an electronic music fest.

Everyone had worn these weird costumes.

But Naina wasn't in this costume when we found her body.

What else did Randhir say?

Naina was coordinating the whole event.

She spent months working on it. This was her pet project.

And she still left early?

Naina was super excited.

The fest was going great. She had killed it.

Suddenly, she said she had to leave.

And then she just left.

You didn't ask her where she was going?

Naina would be very secretive at times.

What time did she leave?

Around 8 o'clock, she bounced.

What was Naina and Ojas' relationship like?

We broke up last month.

Yes, but despite that,

you kept texting and calling her.

Right?

Ojas didn't take the break-up well.

He would relentlessly call her.

But that night, they didn't speak to each other.

What time did you leave the fest?

I don't remember. Maybe 10 o'clock. No around 11 p.m.

Can't recall. Maybe around 10:00-10:30 p.m.

Or maybe around midnight.

What's this?

- That's Ahaan and Nirvaan. - Look behind them.

That's you. You're talking to Naina.

You said you didn't speak to her at the fest at all.

You don't love me anymore?

No, I don't, Ojas. Now, please fuck off!

Maybe they spoke that night.

I didn't see.

Sorry.

She looked hot, so I went to tell her that. That's it!

Since when has giving a compliment become a crime?

Naina said she'll come straight to my house.

I didn't know that was the last time I'd ever see her.

Had I known, I would've stopped her.

I've gone through your college record.

You've been suspended five times this year.

Twice for weed, and thrice for harassing girls.

I know guys like you very well.

Can't handle a no, can you?

You were into Naina, but she got over you.

So you raped her, killed her, stuffed her body in the campaign car

- and dumped it in the water. - What?

Right?

- What? What are you saying? - Your plan was brilliant.

You used the campaign car so that no one would suspect you.

Guess what? We just ruined his plan.

The campaign car? Rape?!

Why the hell would I even do that?

That loser driver told you this, right?

I should've never made that fucker smoke up.

What the fuck.

You gave Mukesh drugs?

Look, if you cooperate with us,

then we'll forget that you brought drugs into the college. Okay?

Okay.

My friends and I wanted to mess with that idiot driver.

So we decided to get him high and poke fun at him.

He turned out to be a total noob!

Couldn't even handle half a joint.

He started fucking vomiting.

Then he disappeared.

But I... I went back to the fest.

I went back. Please... sir, ma'am.

Please believe me.

Why would I kill her?

- Please. - What the hell is happening?

- Dad! - I've already spoken to your boss,

Mr. Rathi.

You can't continue this questioning without my lawyer.

Okay. Send him

to the Crime Cell tomorrow with your lawyer.

But we'll be taking his phone.

Give your phone!

Excuse me.

Dad, come on! That's all fucking bullshit!

The school fee here must be really high, right?

Sorry?

Is that your arm or a sketchbook?

Poor guy. Must be mute or something.

Jhanvi is ready for the alliance.

Let's plan the announcement.

Sir!

Sir, sir...

An 18-year-old student was raped and murdered in your car.

What do you have to say about that?

Sir... Sir...

Sir, your car was dumped into the water to wash away evidence.

I checked the CCTV footage.

Naina came in at 4:00 p.m. on her bicycle.

But there's no record of her leaving.

And no trace of the bicycle either.

What about the campaign car?

It entered at 7:36 p.m.

And left at 9:38 p.m.

The driver did everything they could to hide their face from the camera.

The windows were also covered.

And Mukesh's hospital entry was at 9:00 p.m., right?

Yes.

Then put a chaukdi against it.

- What is a "chaukdi"? - It means cancel.

This...

Ojas entered at 7:00 p.m. in his car.

But his car didn't exit from any gate.

So, you know what this means?

Hello!

I'm explaining something here, and you're busy playing games?

I'm checking Ojas' photos.

Lavanya said that Naina left at 8:00 p.m., right?

But these photos were taken at 8:45 p.m. Look.

I saw this guy in the bathroom. He's like a walking sketchbook.

- Sketchbook? - Look. He has a skull tattoo.

Wait a minute!

Mukesh said something yesterday about a skull.

But where?

This place must be on the college campus.

- Let's look for it. - She's always in a hurry.

Is chaukdi a Marathi word?

Yes.

What do you say in your language?

We straight-up say, "Fuck it."

- Found anything? - Chaukdi.

Let's go and have some Misal Pav.

See this.

Jai.

Do you have a third eye or something?

No. I make the most of the two eyes I've got.

Blood.

Turn on the switch.

The body of a student from Elouis Educational College

has been found in NSP leader Tushar Surve's car.

She was brutally raped and murdered.

The big question is this.

Is Tushar Surve a monster in disguise?

Wipe it properly!
