One day, a rabbit, a monkey,
a tiny elephant, and a frog,

the four friends
were passing through the jungle.

Suddenly, a leopard came in front of them.

Stop!

You'll have to pay a tax
to go through here.

What tax, Mr. Leopard?

One of you

will have to be my dinner tonight.

Please don't eat me!

-Please, let me go home!
-Okay!

Out of the three of you,
Frog, Elephant, and Monkey, you can go.

Not you, Rabbit.

Because you are juicy.

Juicy!

Mr. Leopard, please don't eat me.
I can be of service to you.

Is it? How so?

I can sing well, really well.

Okay, then.

Come with me…

to my den.

Sing for me there.

Come.

I will take you to the den.

One, two, three, four, five!

Hey, why isn't Maroot singing?

What happened?

-Didn't the teacher ask us to improvise?
-Oh, okay.

Hey, Rabbit!

What happened,
why aren't you singing? Come on, sing!

Shall I go and check?

There's an entire army of teachers there.

Maroot! Maroot?

Maroot!

He stole my costume in the dark.

-Where did he go?
-That way, sir!

Sir, we're about to reach Sironah.

Mom, the red bean curry
will get burnt. Cook it on a low flame.

Concentrate on your studies. Your dad's
phone is unreachable since yesterday.

NUTAN: Woke up??
BUNTY: Yes… Just now.

Still in a foul mood…

And, Mom, the red chili powder
is in the second box on the left.

Red chili powder.

Manoj, did you wake up?

You always add to the work, Mom.

Sorry.

Leave it. Go and study.

Now, where are you going?

We've run out of wood, Mom.

Keep that here, I'll get it later.
Concentrate on your studies.

One second more,
and the curry would've burnt.

Grandpa, why have you
taken out the gun today?

Yesterday was the lunar eclipse.

So?

-He might come.
-Who?

The Leopard-Man.

He comes out on the night of
the lunar eclipse, to feast on blood.

Don't tell him the story
of the Leopard-Man, Grandpa.

He'll wet the bed,
and I'll have to wash the sheets.

Shut up.

Have you ever seen the Leopard-Man?

Yes.

The Leopard-Man…

Half-animal…

Where are my bullets?

Where are the bullets?

Take these, Manoj.

-Dad?
-Yeah.

Where were you all night?
Mom called you so many times.

I was a little busy, son.

Raman Singh! Who took
the bullets out of my gun?

-I did, Dad.
-Why?

You don't even remember
to take your tablets.

-What tablets do I take?
-Listen to him.

Raman Singh, touching a police officer's
official weapon is an offense.

Raman Singh was your younger brother, Dad.

I'm Hari, your son.

And you retired from
the police services three years back.

You started smoking up
early in the morning? What is this, Dad?

Sergeant, I'll put the bullets back.
Come and have breakfast.

Manoj, hold the gifts.
These are for your sister's 19th birthday.

Come, my beloved
Let's fly over the moon…

What was so important in Himmat Nagar,
that you had to stay the whole night?

Would you be getting the invitation
to the wedding in Mr. Manhas' family?

Why was your phone switched off?

By the way, you have taken
one year's leave of absence, right?

From tomorrow.

So, quit policing everyone at home
from now on. Understood, Ms. Congeniality?

My phone's battery died.

Oh, wow!

This is amazing.

I haven't taken this
leave of absence just for Nutan, Hari.

You think a year's leave is a magic wand?

You wave it, and suddenly turn into
a super mom, a master chef, Sunny Leone,

three-in-one?

I don't need your pity sex now. Leave it.

-Jai Hind, ma'am.
-Jai Hind, Negi.

-Send these files to the SP's office.
-Okay.

And where's Mr. Rana?

Answering the roll call inside.

-Roll call?
-Yes, the new officer's here.

Mr. Rana, this is how you maintain
the station diary? Like this?

You haven't learnt the basics?

-Sorry, sir.
-"Sorry"?

I'll do it right away.

-What happened, Mr. Rana?
-Ma'am, the station diary…

Kasturi Dogra, the SHO.

Hi, I'm Angad Mallik, your replacement.

I haven't handed over the charge yet.

Hey, no, that's not necessary.
Please keep sitting.

I have prepared the paperwork for the
transfer of charge. Please read and sign.

-Rana, Chauhan, I'll call for you later.
-Yes, ma'am.

Thank you.

Should I empty out the entire cupboard,
or can I leave some stuff?

After a year, these things
will be back where they belong.

And so will you.

Yes, you're right.

You can leave your things.

I don't have much stuff,
it will fit in here somewhere.

When is your family joining you?

I don't have a family.

Please go ahead
and pack your things. I won't disturb you.

A BLACK LEOPARD WAS SPOTTED IN SIRONAH

-You cannot go inside, wait!
-Wait, where are you going?

-What happened, Mr. Rana?
-Ma'am, this woman forced her way in.

-Mr. Madhav, take her outside.
-Mr. Rana!

She's just a junkie.

These foreigners have multiplied,
and are nothing but troublemakers--

How can we help you, madam?

My daughter is missing.

My daughter and boyfriend,
both are missing.

I woke up this morning
and they were not there.

What happened? What is she saying?

She said that her daughter is missing,
and her boyfriend too, since the morning.

"Missing"? They must be junkies
like her, and lying somewhere.

Kasturi, this girl is hiding something.

Who is he?

Search her.

-What are you doing?
-Who is this man?

Retired Head Constable, Mahadev Dogra.

My father in-law,
and the grand old man of Sironah Police.

Jai Hind, sir.

I found this.

Neither is this from our district,
nor from Malana or Kashmir.

This cheap stuff is from Nepal.

Liar!

You telling lie?

Drug business. Who gave you this weed?

Sorry, I cannot understand her.

You can't understand? I'll break your legs
and you won't be able to stand.

You want some?

I want to call
the French embassy, in New Delhi.

Please understand, my daughter's only 19.

Okay, calm down. Everyone.
What is your name?

Julie Baptiste.

-What is you daughter's name?
-Aimee Baptiste.

Could she be with your boyfriend?

-I don't know.
-"I don't know"?

-Should I slap you--
-Ms. Kasturi!

-Where are you staying?
-Taj Lodge, near Mall Road.

I don't get a good feeling, sir.
My daughter could be in danger.

What is she saying?

Instead of translating everything,
can I talk to her alone?

She can't be trusted at all, don't go by--

I'll talk to her.

Everyone, out. Out, please!

You too, ma'am.

Close the door!

-Your phone, please.
-Why do you need my phone?

Mom, stop staring at me like that.
Didn't we talk about this last night?

I haven't done anything.

-The car was with you the whole time?
-Yeah!

-So?
-Mr. Kanti.

Mom, someone's done this deliberately,

to trap me, to trap you.
Don't you see? I'm telling you--

Okay, enough!

I shouldn't have pressurized them
for your parole.

Yeah, right! I should just rot in jail
for nothing, just like that--

For rape!

I had to hide my face from everyone.

And that's why, to save face, you sent me
to jail and became a messiah of truth.

You said back then too
that you hadn't done anything.

You actually believe that
I was involved in last night's incident?

-Call the Collector, Nandan.
-Why are you calling Uncle Ashok?

I have to get your parole canceled.

What the fuck, Mom? No! Mom!

But why, Jagdamba? Did something happen?

-Mom.
-First, eat your breakfast.

Okay, I'll get the paperwork arranged.

But… is everything okay?

Did Kanti do something last night?

No, Dad.

What happened last night?

We went to Hotel Bom, had a few beers,
and then went straight back home.

Why? What happened?

If nothing happened, then why is Jagdamba
trying to get Kanti's parole canceled?

That's weird.

He didn't do anything wrong last night.

Nilima, sweetheart.

Put the ring on his finger.

-Yes. Thank you.
-Congratulations.

DSP Bhaati called, sir.

He said he'll give an update
as soon as he finds out something.

And any news from Jagdamba's end?

Nilima, take your medicines, my dear.

Do you want one?

What?

Anti-anxiety pills. Strong dose.

-I don't have any anxiety.
-Are you sure?

Are you getting cold feet
before the wedding, Ravi?

No, I'm just fine.

Actually, I didn't sleep well last night.

Don't worry.

We'll have to go
and meet Jagdamba personally.

But, sir, if the party gives
the Rajya Sabha ticket to your son in-law?

The party won't give
Ravi the ticket so soon.

And if this goes on, my Rajya Sabha seat
will surely go to Jagdamba.

This is the last chance,
we can't let it go waste.

But to go to her house like this…

Congratulations.

It's all a matter of time, Mishra.

We can't just think about ourselves.

We have to keep everything in mind.

Right, Ravi?

Yes, sir.

Hey, Nutan, I'm sorry about last night.

I sensed that last night.
You were so distant while kissing me.

Bunty, is everything okay?

Yeah. It's just that,
Dad's health is a little…

-You are a really bad liar, Bunty.
-This is the truth, Nutan.

Whatever. Come over soon
to my place in the afternoon.

Okay.

I'm sending you a super-hot video
of mine to uplift your mood.

Delete it right after watching, okay?

Here, Dad.

Give me my medicines, son.

Not that one. The yellow pill.

Listen. Hey, son.

I'll speak to the DC today about getting
you a job through the sports quota.

Are you listening?

You're already working
at the DC's office, that's enough.

It's not enough.

You were always
playing football in school.

Had you concentrated on your studies,
you could've passed the 12th grade.

And now when I'm talking to you,
you're on your phone.

What happened? What's with the silence?

-Jai Hind, sir.
-Jai Hind.

Did you meet Angad?

Where is he?

Playing a good host to a foreigner.
Maybe it's a new style.

Come on, Kasturi.

Don't take it personally.
Angad is a competent officer.

He's a little too posh, sir.

Come, let's go and meet him.

Angad Mallik.

Inspector Angad Mallik, sir.

-What is happening? A new case?
-It's a missing complaint, sir.

Ms. Lajjo!

We need to
go and take a look at your room.

-We need the keys.
-Why do you need to go to my room?

There's nothing in my room.

Ms. Lajjo, take her away and get the keys
from her. And then lock her up.

Lock-up? Why are you putting me
in the lock-up? I haven't done anything.

-My daughter and boyfriend are missing--
-Let me do my job, Ms. Baptiste.

-Ms. Lajjo.
-Ma'am, please get up.

Madam. Come, madam.

I don't understand bloody
what the hell is happening here.

What is the case, Angad?

Ms. Julie Baptiste had a quarrel with her
19-year-old daughter Aimee last night.

Out of anger, she slapped her.

And what was the quarrel about?

The girl wanted to go to a disco.
When Julie woke up in the morning,

both her daughter and
her Indian boyfriend were missing.

She must've gone to the disco at night.

That is her guess, too.

-She has another daughter, and…
-Show me.

These are the two daughters,
and this is Sundar.

He is from Pondicherry.
They recently started dating.

Sir, she only must've done something.

And this weed?

It's in small quantity,
but I will register a case.

Did you see?

Kasturi, he will
learn the ways of Sironah.

And, Mr. Bhaati,
do you think all this is new for me?

Not at all.

I don't give importance
to such two-bit junkies.

Let the new Inspector start his stint.

-I'll meet you after an year, sir.
-Okay.

-Jai Hind, sir.
-Jai Hind.

-Yes, Mom?
-How are your studies going?

At full speed.

I'll reach home in sometime, okay?

Yes, okay.

Bunty, Mom is coming back home.

Enough of this silent treatment.

-Come on, Mom will come soon.
-Nutan.

Don't become a bureaucrat or a minister.

Get out of this country.
Get a nice job, be with good people.

Hey, and will you be
a tourist guide forever?

You dad is talking to the DC
about that job, right?

You will reappear
for the 12th grade along with that.

You will pass the exams,
and then go to college.

"Nutan, get out of this country."

"I will bid you goodbye, like a loser."

Come on, something is wrong.

-Listen, Mr. Negi…
-Jai Hind, sir.

Don't let Julie
go anywhere until I return.

-Mr. Rana, sit in the car.
-Yes, sir.

Take me to the Taj Lodge.

Come, Kasturi.

I have kept the box, ma'am.

Okay.

Mom! Grandpa!

What happened to the girl?

MAHADEV DOGRA

Mom!

Don't move.

-Mom!
-Don't be scared.

Stay right there!

Don't move.

Nutan… go inside.

Go inside, Nutan.

Mom!

You're not going to get out alive today!

Stop! Don't shoot.

Grandpa, where are you going?

He is somewhere close by.

This minister, Jagdamba Dhumal,
does she live in Sironah?

Yes, sir.
She gets elected from our district.

And Mr. Manhas?

He is a parliamentarian,
and he hails from the royal family.

But the actual development
was done by Ms. Jagdamba.

-Yes?
-Ma'am, Mr. Manhas is here.

Send him in.

-Greetings, Mr. Manhas.
-Greetings, Ms. Jagdamba.

Please come in and have a seat.

-How are you doing, Jagdamba?
-Very well.

-Mr. Mishra, how are you? Hey…
-I'm fine.

What was the need
for all this, Mr. Manhas?

There's no need
to be so formal with family.

My younger sister is getting married,
won't I come to her wedding?

It's on the 20th?

Nandan, bring my diary!

Yes, ma'am.

Now, I will also
have to take an appointment?

The Chief Minister has given me
two additional departments.

-My responsibilities have increased a lot.
-I'm sure.

Please take these with you.

Will you have tea or coffee?

You are being formal now.
I'm coming straight from home.

Okay.

The ceremony is on the 20th, right?

Mr. Manhas…

I have a meeting with the high command
that day. I will have to go to Delhi.

-The Rajya Sabha nomination?
-Yes.

But, I'll try my best.

I'll surely attend
the function if I'm back by then.

Mom? Mom!

Hey, Kanti, how are you?

Like people who are
locked in a prison, very happy.

Look, we need to talk, Mom.

Like, right now, Mom. Seriously!

-I'll come.
-So, come on.

In five minutes.

What is this?
Nandu, get me some food right away.

How's the parole going?

It's going fine.

About my Tourist City project,

the stay on it hasn't been lifted yet.

The stay was imposed by
the DC office, what can I do?

Let them review it once.

The review was already done,
everything has been done.

Since you took over the department,
the stay order has been imposed.

That is forest land, Mr. Manhas.

If this goes on,

then all the wild animals will enter
our homes, not just the leopards.

Let things proceed
through proper channels.

But I will speak to the DC.

I have a meeting
with him at 4:00 p.m. today.

Oh, my, it's already 3:15 p.m.

And you know that
the DC is very particular about time.

Yes, of course.

-I'll leave too.
-Okay.

Hey, are you deaf or what?

Can't you hear? Get my food,
I have been sitting here and starving.

Is everything okay, Jagdamba?

Yes, everything is fine.

-Why do you ask?
-No, just like that.

Okay, then.

It's not possible that she wouldn't know
about last night's incident yet.

But she didn't let it show
that she was afraid.

Give it a few hours,
and the real chaos will begin then.

You know, right? Chotu had seen
someone else outside the door--

Mishra. Just focus on Kanti for now.

This is a golden opportunity.

If it works, the resort will be made,
and we will get the ticket, too.

She will lose her ministership,

and might have to
resign from the Assembly.

Sir, it's a good opportunity,

you can talk to the high command
about your son in-law's ticket.

-Nandan, I am--
-Don't worry, ma'am. Everything is fine.

-Kanti's car?
-I have washed it thoroughly, ma'am.

Find out from Rana,

about what happened
at Hotel Bom last night.

Okay.

If Gagan said that nothing happened,
then it must be the truth.

Then why did you get the parole canceled?

I'm just afraid that
he might do something else.

It's a big disappointment
when you cannot trust your own blood.

I won't waste anymore of your time.

Come on, Jagdamba.

No, bhaiya. Friendships and family
should be separate from work.

I have come to discuss
three projects with you,

and Mr. Manhas' project isn't one of them.

I understood.

TAJ LODGE

-Room number 16.
-It's on the first floor, sir.

Sergeant!

Sergeant!

Surrender, or get shot.

I'll count to three.

One… two…

You guys, go and check there.

Sir, we found the girl!

Mr. Rana, call the ambulance, immediately.

Yes, sir.

Sir?

-I told you, right?
-What?

Yesterday was the lunar eclipse.

The Leopard-Man will feast on blood.

-Maybe I didn't hear.
-It's okay.

See it for yourself now.

Be careful, she is a child.

-Inform me once she regains consciousness.
-Yes, sir.

-Take her to the police station.
-Yes, sir.

-Search her room thoroughly.
-Okay.

-Where's the watchman?
-I'll check.

-Check and bring him to the station.
-Sure.

Yes, Mr. Bhaati?

What?

-Jai Hind, sir.
-Jai Hind.

The Sergeant saw the dead body.

-Mr. Rana.
-Yes, sir?

-When will the forensic team reach?
-They called.

There has been a landslide
on the way and they're stuck.

This is the Leopard-Man's doing, sir.

The Leopard-Man?

There was a lunar eclipse last night.

This has started again after 19 years.

I said back then too that he will return.

Who is this Leopard-Man?

Half man, half leopard.

The bodies of nine girls
were found hanging just like this.

Okay. So, he is a serial killer.

The locals believe that those crimes
were committed by the Leopard-Man.

You know,
something like a non-human entity.

-Sir?
-I know.

But the killings happened over the course
of two years, then it was quiet.

And now, this.

Mr. Sharma, listen.

-It's getting dark.
-Does he go everywhere like this?

Ma'am, it's about to get dark.
Should we bring the body down?

-Mr. Rana, find out about the ambulance.
-Okay, ma'am.

-Mirza, Bisht, bring the body down.
-Come on!

Stop!

Where are your gloves?

Gloves? The men will not touch the body.

They'll just
bring it down by cutting the rope.

They are not
doing this for the first time.

-Come on, bring it down!
-Stop!

Whose case is this, sir?

Kasturi, it's better
if you take the Sergeant home.

Sir, but this--

Anyway, your shift for the day is over.

And you are on leave from tomorrow. Go.

Rana, Mirza, and Negi!
Go back, all of you.

You've wiped out all the footprints.
Is this some carnival?

Everyone needs to move back. Everyone!

Come.

Sergeant, let's go.

-Jai Hind, sir.
-Jai Hind.

Gloves. The new officer
is quite the Englishman.

Probably eats local food
with a knife and fork.

It's okay, whatever he might have
done in the city, but this is Sironah.

Our very own Sironah.

But the work has started.

Has it, though? It's clearly written
on that woman's face that she is a liar.

And instead of going after her,

we are being taught how to do our work.

I haven't busted my ass over nothing
for so many years at the police station.

Now you will be busy doing housework,
that too of your own volition.

This is called bad luck in the career.

I kept my entire life
on hold for one big case,

and when did that big case arrive?

When I Ieft that post.

No, Sergeant, this case is mine.

This case is a sore point
for me, too, Madam SHO.

If I had solved this 19 years back,
I too would have been promoted.

SHO Mahadev Dogra.

If we think about it,
anything could have happened.

Come on, let's go home.

Scan the entire area.
Any weapons, mobile phone, purse,

tire marks, or footprints,
check properly if you find anything.

-Go.
-Okay, sir.

-This is her?
-Yes, sir.

This is the weather department
of Radio Sironah.

The residents of Sironah are being warned

that a storm will hit Sironah
in the next few hours.

Because of landslides on the route
from Himmat Nagar to Sironah,

the incoming traffic
to Sironah has been halted.

They're taking Kanti away.

I want to find out what you did.

Will that change what you did?

No, right?

So, concentrate on Nilima and the project.

Nilima is happy after so many years,
and she ought to stay happy.
