Anvita, push!

Breathe. Anvita, breathe.

What a sweetu she is.

She looks just like her mother.

I was worried she'd take after her dad.

Come, I'll take her first photo.

Come on. Mommy and baby.

Yeah.

-Looks good? -You two are next.

It's been five years since you got married, right?

Aunty, he has no time for family.

If only he could get away from the hospital long enough to…

Now that she's said it, her wish is my command.

Tonight is family time.

Come, come. Let's take a family photo.

This picture came out great, right?

Hello?

I'll just be back.

Okay.

-Who is this? -Shreya, join them.

-No, I'm okay. -Go.

No.

Come, come. I'll take a good photo. You doubt me?

-Come on. -Come.

There you go.

Nice.

Look at this.

-Oh. -Right?

All okay?

Yeah. Just a… just a client.

Sorry. Visiting hours are over.

Should I stay with Ani?

-Yeah. -Come.

I'm sorry.

I'll see you at eight.

Why do you look so worried?

I don't know.

Maybe it's the pregnancy hormones, but…

I feel what I feel.

What happened?

You can tell me.

I feel…

that Alok has grown distant from me…

over the past few months.

It must be work stress.

Maybe.

Business has been especially hard this year.

Maybe.

But they say

a daughter brings good fortune to the family.

So maybe she'll turn things around for us.

Will you?

Hello?

How do you know about that night?

Okay, okay. Just stay right there. I'm coming.

-All okay? -Yeah.

I'm thinking I'll just go get a coffee.

Do you need anything?

No? Okay.

Get some rest. I'll be right back.

Mommy used to dream about you.

Yes.

Welcome to this world.

I'll always take care of you.

And wherever you are in the world,

I'll be right by you.

I won't let anything happen to you.

My Apeksha.

Mommy loves you.

Mommy loves you.

-Excuse me. -Yes, sir, tell me.

-Hi, Alok Dutt, room 15. -Yes.

Can I see my daughter, please?

No, sir. Visiting the creche isn't allowed at this time.

All the babies are brought in there,

and we sanitize the area.

Ma'am, please. I wasn't here all evening.

I just want to see her. I don't want to go in.

Sir, please try and understand. Come back tomorrow morning,

and you'll get your baby.

Ma'am, please.

Come, sir. It's this way.

Sir, I don't think they've brought the baby out of the room yet.

I'll check what's going on.

-Yes? -Molly,

why isn't the girl from Room 15 in the creche yet?

I thought all the babies were in there already.

You should've checked, Molly. Come with me.

Hey.

-Hi. -Hi.

Listen.

Did they take the baby from you?

Yes. That nurse came, right?

You're sure, right?

Yes. Why?

Sir, just give me a minute.

Did you see this nurse?

No, not really. I was half asleep.

What happened?

Did you?

I went to get coffee.

All of you, stand here.

Ma'am, was it one of these nurses who took the baby from you?

I didn't see clearly. I told you, I was asleep.

What happened? Where is my daughter?

The baby isn't in the creche.

We'll find her, ma'am.

What do you mean you'll find her?

-Is this a hospital or a joke? -Ani…

How can you lose a baby?

-Where is my child? -Ani!

-Ma'am, ma'am. -Be careful!

-Move! -Be careful.

Move.

Listen, you need to be a little…

-Ma'am, ma'am. -Please be careful.

What's happening?

-Sir, the baby isn't in the creche. -We have checked it.

-You don't need to-- -Ma'am, the creche has been sanitized.

-You can't go in there. -Please.

-Please… -Please. Please.

Yes, Doctor.

Delete the CCTV footage from Corridors 3 and 4 right now.

The police are on their way.

That's the first thing they'll check.

Hello, sir.

This is our hospital dean, Doctor Ravi Paro.

How long ago did the girl go missing?

It must have been about two hours.

It was an unknown woman in a nurse's uniform.

She was also wearing a mask.

She took the baby, and she's not one of our nurses, sir.

I need to see the CCTV footage.

Come in, Khurana sahab.

Show me.

Stop, stop.

Are these the only two angles?

Show me footage from another camera.

This is it.

This is the corridor, and that's the main compound.

The cameras in corridors three and four are broken.

Do you plan on getting them fixed? Or will it just stay like this?

Look, here's the thing.

The entire staff will be questioned.

And until I say so, no one goes home.

Understood.

-Fast forward a bit. -Yes.

As you know, exactly one year ago today,

Anvita and Alok Dutt's newborn daughter was kidnapped from the hospital.

And today, one year later,

they're celebrating her first birthday

despite her kidnapping.

Let's hear from Anvita and Alok Dutt

about why they chose to do this

and why they're holding this celebration.

Well, Alok and I believe that

our daughter is alive.

And she will definitely come back to us.

In fact, the reward for finding our daughter

was set at 10,00,000 rupees.

Today, we are increasing it to 15,00,000.

Happy birthday to you!

-Happy birthday, dear-- -Until she comes back,

we will keep celebrating her birthday.

Happy birthday to you!

-Nice, right? -Yes.

I'll go check.

-Hi, Anjali. -Hello.

-Hi, Veer. Come, come. -Aunty, hello.

We were just about to cut the cake.

Alok!

Alok!

What is it, Anvita?

We didn't find any fingerprints.

Whoever it is, they're very smart.

But Khurana sahab, who would do this?

I don't understand anything.

How can-- How can someone be so twisted, Khurana sahab?

They kidnapped our daughter, and now they're sending us her pictures.

It doesn't add up.

There are many ways to analyze this.

It's possible that they sent you

a photo of Apeksha's first steps.

Or maybe they're trying to tell you

that she is safe and sound.

Or maybe they're feeling guilty.

It could also be that

they're trying to help you.

And who knows,

maybe this kidnapper is someone

from your own circle.

But why would someone from our circle do that?

What do they gain by kidnapping Apeksha?

And we don't have any enemies.

That's the mystery we need to solve.

-Want to try this? -No.

I'm gonna…

-Yeah. I'll see you in the veggie section. -Yeah.

Mommy.

Mommy, can we buy these cream biscuits?

Beta, not the cream biscuits. What did the doctor say?

They aren't good for your teeth, right?

What did we decide?

You can have sugar biscuits once a weekend. Okay?

Mommy!

Mommy, here's the fruit section!

This one!

-Mommy! -Put it down.

Mommy, what about this one?

No, put it back.

You can choose one of these.

Look at this.

What about this one?

Apeksha.

Hi.

Sonam.

Who are you?

You.

You stole my daughter, didn't you?

What's wrong with you?

Hey, what are you doing?

She's my daughter.

-Hey! You're mistaken. Please! -Apeksha, hi.

-What are you doing? -Move.

-Apeksha! -What's wrong with you?

-Anvita, no! -I don't even know her.

-What are you doing? -I found Apeksha.

Don't touch her!

-I'll handle it. -Alok, what are you doing?

-You're scaring her. Don't you get it? -Apeksha, come. Come with me.

-Get her away! -What are you doing?

-What are you doing? -Ma'am, step back.

-Can't you see she's our daughter? -Calm her down.

-Let's go. -Step back!

-Let's go! -No…

Left.

Right.

Good.

How are you feeling, Anvita?

I had another episode.

I saw that woman in the store,

and I thought…

Go on.

I thought that girl with her

was my daughter.

Do you still think she was your daughter?

Because it's important for me to know

whether you understand the difference between your imagination and reality.

I stopped taking my medication.

Why?

They make me feel very dull.

I… I feel very tired from those pills.

I can't take them.

Look, if you don't have any incidents

over the next six weeks,

I can lower your dose.

But for that to happen, you have to take your pills, Anvita.

If not for anyone else,

do it for Siddhi.

After all, when God took Apeksha away,

He blessed you with another beautiful daughter, Siddhi.

Whom you love just as much.

She needs you.

Mommy!

Hi!

"The wolf woke up and ran away."

"And the hunter returned empty-handed."

Wow, Mommy, tell me one more story.

Story time is over.

Sleeping time begins.

Okay? Don't you have school tomorrow? Come on.

Mommy?

What did Apeksha didi look like?

She was exactly like you.

Big eyes like these,

chubby cheeks,

a nose like Dad's.

You guys look the same.

You and Apeksha

both hold a special place in my heart.

I love you both equally.

You both are my world

and always will be.

Mommy.

You miss Apeksha didi a lot, don't you?

Yes, I do.

I miss her a lot.

Don't worry, Mommy.

We'll find Apeksha didi.

I love you.

Now it's sleeping time.

-Okay. -Go to sleep. Come on.

Yes, Mrs. Kaul.

Thank you for your concern.

I mean, don't take this the wrong way.

People are talking about Anvita.

I care about you, you know.

So, as a friend…

You really are a true friend.

Thank you.

Bye. Bye.

Mrs. Kaul.

She's already lost it,

and now she's driving you crazy too.

And after today, she's crossed every line.

I mean, we live in a respectable society.

This needs to stop, Alok.

I'm worried about you.

This really needs to stop.

-Anvita, please-- -Alok, please.

Alok, I want to say something.

I'm…

really sorry about what happened at the mall.

But…

Alok, these photos of Apeksha are our last link to her.

As long as these photos keep coming,

how can I stop?

Anvita.

Anvita, we have to think a little more realistically.

You're right, these photos are our last link,

and they've been coming for eight years.

And I've always supported you.

But for the last eight years, this has become our entire life.

Our marriage, your relationship with my mom,

with Siddhi, with me…

It's as if everything is falling apart.

And I'm not blaming you.

But just please understand. Please.

You're right.

But, Alok, tell me, what's the logic?

Why does the kidnapper keep sending us these photos?

Every year on Apeksha's birthday,

what is he trying to tell us?

Why would anyone do this to us?

I can't understand.

Alok, please.

Please, we can't give up.

Think about it for a second.

It's also possible that there is no kidnapper.

That someone is playing a sick joke on us

just for the reward money.

And what about today? None of this means

you can make a scene with every girl in the city thinking she's Apeksha.

That girl was so frightened that if her parents had filed a complaint,

you could've been arrested today.

How do we deal with that as a family?

I promised Apeksha

that I'd never leave her alone.

I couldn't keep that promise.

And, slowly…

you're drifting away from me too.

-Anvita, no. -Please, Alok.

Help me. Please.

I promise.

One last time.

Support me one last time.

After that,

I'll do whatever you say.

I promise.

-Just one last time-- -Anu, it's okay.

It's okay.

-Oh. -Hi, Gehlout ji.

-Oh, hi. -Hi.

-Hi. -This is Sakshi.

-Hello. -And this is Gaurav.

Hi.

-Hello. -They actually just moved in here.

Okay.

Her daughter, Apeksha, went missing eight years ago.

So, they're looking for her.

I'm so sorry.

No, don't be. It's okay.

We'll find her.

Anyway, nice meeting you.

I hope she finds her daughter.

Sir, there's a girl outside.

She says she knows something about the missing girl.

What's the girl's name?

Sir, it's Payal.

She's a sex worker from the red-light district.

Send her in.

Okay, sir.

Come in.

Hello, sahab ji. Hello.

Tell us everything you know about the missing child.

Sahab ji, I had a client named Ghanshyam.

He'd been coming to me for ten years.

Eight years ago, he told me he'd stolen a baby from a hospital

and sold her to a family in Mumbai.

So why did it take you all these years to tell the police?

Sir ji, Ghanshyam is a very hot-tempered man.

I'm scared of him.

I see. Aren't you scared now?

Well, sahab ji, he went to Kolkata a few months ago.

Now he's caught up in some mess there.

So, I thought I should tell you the whole story, truthfully.

And what if this story is fake?

I swear, sahab ji, I'm not lying.

I just want that child to get back to her real parents.

And you get the reward money, right?

-Yes? -Police.

Yes.

Please, stay seated.

What's going on?

We need to see Kiran.

Sir, why do you need to see her?

The thing is, we need to check if she's really your daughter.

What kind of nonsense is this?

Nonsense?

You don't remember?

Eight years ago, you illegally adopted that girl.

Sir, how can you say that?

Kiran is our daughter, sir.

Look, now only a DNA test will prove

if she's your daughter or someone else's.

How much did you pay for the girl?

How can you make such accusations--

Remember now?

How much did you pay for the girl?

Twenty-five thousand rupees.

When?

-In 2016. -Date?

I don't remember.

November 14! November 14.

-Bring the girl. -Yes, sir.

-No, sir… -Bring her quickly.

-Sir, please. You can't do this. -Keep quiet.

I'll talk to you later.

-Please, sir, you can't do this. -Sir, it's not like that.

-Look, we… -Sir…

Mommy?

Kiran is our daughter, sir. Please…

So, we're taking her with us.

We'll keep her in the Shimla Child Welfare Unit.

And, by court order, there will be a DNA test.

My advice to you is

that you both hire a good lawyer.

We'll stay in touch through the Mumbai Police.
