'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.'

'The serial killings refuse to cease.'

'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 murder.

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 murderer.

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.'

'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 murder...'

'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 murder is always special.

Congratulations.

If it was a murder,

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

Recollect every single detail of that moment.

Feel it.

I didn't commit murder. You did it.

Then why are you feeling so guilty?

Do you think you'll kill 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 kill humans. - Absolutely correct.

No religion teaches us to kill.

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 kill anyone.

But as soon as your family was in danger

you were ready to kill anyone to help me.

What if later I ask you to choose between

your wife and kid? - Slave!

'You are a slave 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 killed 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 35 years at the job,'

'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 Murder 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 killers?'

'Organized and disorganized.'

'This man is of both the types.'

'His technique of killing and managing the crime scene'

'is meticulous.'

'But the pattern of every killing,'

'the interval between them,'

'and the selection of victims.'

'Everything is disorganized.'

'We have only one way to understand the killer.'

'To study the victims'

'and find the connection.'

Raina, extract information about the Balinese masks.

Also find out why is the killer 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?

Killer 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 kill 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'

'kill 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 kill 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 killer 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 killer?

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

The killer 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.'
