Shakti Salgaonkar.

Absent, sir.

Do you guys have any idea,

where he could be.

Bhanu. Vikram.

Sir, I saw him yesterday night.

Speed up the consignment.

Clients have been calling
off the hook.

I am planning long-term,
for both of us.

Don't get mad.

Think about it.

It'll be a break you need.

I cannot leave my father alone.

A whole day has gone by, Sam.

And no one has seen the kid.

Don't you think
the parent should know?

Why don't you just let me come?

His father has been
out of the grid,

for a few months now.

My son is missing.

Can we call the cops?

Now?

Don't abandon the mission.

Never.

Olaf.

Bambi.

Simba.

His favourite cartoons,
after which he named his plants.

Maybe he sensed they were lonely.

So he pulled them out,

and planted them in a larger pot.

Being the only child,

he must feel lonely.

But he must have made friends here.

Why would he run away?

He hasn't run away.

He's been taken.

I'm sorry. Taken?

As in kidnapped!

Someone has abducted him.

His father?

I was told by the housemaster,

you and your husband
have separated.

-So--
-So what?

Maybe he has taken him
away for a few days.

Impossible.

Why?

My husband has zero interest in me,
and my son.

Why?

I mean

why does your husband
have zero interest,

in you or your son?

Some people are not family material.

That's it.

Don't listen
to the school authorities.

Find my son, please!

Trisha-ji.

We need you to trust us.

When did you last speak to him?

Last... to last...

Sunday.
Or the one before that.

Students are only allowed
to call on Sundays, so--

Don't mind, but, I want to know,

why you chose to send Shakti
to a boarding school?

He wasn't keeping
well post our divorce.

I didn't realise
when he stopped eating.

Early signs of depression.

I thought boarding school
was the best option.

Parents always want
the best for their kids.

-Right?
-Yes.

Don't worry.

The police team will be
working day and night.

The search party is looking.

We are scanning
through the CCTV Footage.

Questioning the necessary
authorities.

As soon as the orders come in,

we will even speak to Murli.

Murli?

Murli Shridhar.

Your son and he were bunkmates.

All the lights were turned off.

It was total darkness.

I noticed a shadow.

I thought it was Shakti.

I chased after it.

Sure you did, wimp.

What a liar.

Yes.

He's my bunkmate.

Sneh lost his diary.

Awadh, his camera.

I can't find some of my stuff.

But you take the cake.

You lost your bunkmate.

Shakti isn't lost.

He is just--

You know what, that's it.

Why should I tell you anything?

I am a wimp.

Do you really know something?

Or is this to grab our attention?

Shut up, Sahil.

You continue, Murli.

I saw Shakti run away,

through the wall near
the ghost alley.

That's how he made his escape.

Murli.

Ma'am is looking for you.

That's him.

Good afternoon, ma'am.

Good afternoon.

I am Trisha.
Shakti's mother.

Hi, Murli.

Can we speak for a moment?

Alone.

-Thank you.
-Welcome.

Shakti's mom?
What is she doing here?

I don't know.

Why did she come here?

I hope I am not making
you uncomfortable.

No, Aunty. It's just that

I've heard so much
about you from Shakti.

What did he tell you?

The crispy cheese samosa you make.

Shakti's favourite.

Makes me drool every time I hear it.

I miss him.

Sit.

See.

If we all work together,

we can find him sooner.

I need you to tell me.

Do you know where Shakti is?

Aren't you two best friends?

Give me your hands.

I promise, son.

No one will get mad at you two.

If there is anything
you need to tell me...

There is nothing.

What is this, Murli?

Stop lying.

You just said you saw him run away.

Murli, is that true?

Did you see Shakti run away?

Tell me.

Where did you see him?

-Where did you see Shakti?
-Ms. Pandey.

Ms. Pandey, please.

You are not allowed
in the dorms like this.

Murli, in my office.

Right now.

Yes, sir.

Ms. Pandey, please.

How can it be gone?

Like the whole money is gone?

Entire Rs. 15,000.

Yes. All of it.

From my cupboard.

But that's not even
the issue here, guys.

You're kidding me, right?

I convinced Prachi to sneak away
for an outing after three years.

Guys, please focus.

There's a bigger issue here.

We've to come clean and report it.

And why would we do that?

And report what?

That our illegal money
for an illegal outing is stolen.

Are you psyched out, dude?

Instead of a yellow card,
I'll get an orange card this time.

Sorry, guys,
but I will not be a part of this.

Fine, let's not tell them.

Be ready to deal with the cops then.

We booked hotels and cars.

You think no one will find out.

That's not my problem.

I think Shakti took our money,
and made a run for it.

If we want to avoid suspension,

then we must tell Deka sir
and Sam sir everything.

Sam sir has helped us earlier too.

He'll do it again.

He's an old boy, for fuck sake.

Good afternoon, sirs.

Sir, my break change is signed.

Thank you, sir.

Good afternoon, sir.

Good afternoon, sir.

I cannot waste my time like
the rest of you.

Please, ma'am.

You cannot go around
questioning students.

That's our job.
Let us do it.

That kid Murli is lying.

I don't know who has been
telling him these things.

Ma'am.

Ma'am.

There is something you need to know.

Vikram.

Please tell ma'am what you told me.

We had all collected money
for an outing together,

which was stolen the night
Murli says he saw Shakti escape.

And we believe Shakti stole
that money before he fled.

Ma'am.

Ma'am.

My son is now being called a thief.

And why are you doing this?

-To save this school?
-No, ma'am.

This is definitely the school
and warden's responsibility.

It happened under their watch.

They are his guardians.

But speaking from my
personal experience,

if he ran away,

then something was bothering him.

Either at home

or school.

But my first priority
is to get the child back.

And please.

Everyone...

Each one has to cooperate.

Of course.

Nandita ma'am.

-Nandita ma'am.
-Yeah.

Deka sir wants to see you.

Okay.

May I come in, sir?

Yeah, come in.

Such a shit show.

Good afternoon, sir.

Nandita, did you ever have
a session with Shakti?

No, sir.

Monthly career sessions begin
only from class nine.

And Shakti Salgaonkar's
grades were pretty good.

But there must have been something
to show he was struggling.

Somebody must have said something.

I've been told
to focus on their studies.

And normally, children are close
to their housemasters,

or class teacher.

I know.

Nobody says anything here.

Not until it's too late.

Sir, I'd like to help.

I can talk to the kids.

Maybe we might stumble
onto something.

I know kids, sir.

They are good at hiding things.

All we need is some time
and patience.

And I'll need your permission,
of course.

Shuffle. Wave.

I will show you later.

Hook step.

Out. Out. Front.

Shits has been fucked.

Because of that little shit Shakti.

You all should show him what's what,

when he comes back.

Are you okay, Vikram?

Why do you ask?

Well, for starters,

you don't get me flowers anymore.

I don't know.

It's like...

you're far away,

in a hotel with your boys.

Keeping your girlfriend in the dark.

Wasn't that today?

You fucker.

And you really
thought I wouldn't know.

Does your dad know?

Who cares if he does?

He can't find out about this, Pri.

Shit.

Seriously.

You're more concerned about my dad.

You kept this a secret from me,
and I feel horrible about it.

You don't get it.

This is very important for me.

I can't have him see me
in this light.

I don't want him to know.

I am supposed
to be the man of the house.

I am supposed
to take care of things.

They are making up fake narratives.

Why would he run?

He had settled in.

If he needed money,
he could have asked me.

Aunty.

I never made cheese
samosas in my life.

What?

Shakti lied to his friend.

That I make the best
cheese samosas.

He's a kid.
Must have made it up.

Or maybe he had no choice.

What choice does a kid have
when his mother can't toast bread?

He has to lie.

Forget it.

Let him come over if wants to.

How long can you manage
everything alone?

I have to, Aunty.

He is my son.

Who else if not me.

Anirudh is still off the grid.

Your uncle spoke to his family.

He hasn't contacted
them for six months.

They were inquiring about you.

Sorry, sir.

The footage quality is rubbish.

At least we have something
to work on.

The boy had planned this all along.

Here's what you do.

Send this footage to our groups

and make a list,

of places, he could go to.

Like bus stops,
railway stations, market.

Any news of his father?

Still looking.

His last location was Panchgani.

But he wasn't there.

I don't think he knows
where his son is.

How can any parent be disinterested
in their child?

Maybe they feel undeserving.

Get down boys, quickly.

Faster.

Okay.
You all start the checking.

Now, in a line.

Up in the front.

Come on.

Check properly. Quickly.

-Check there.
-Yes.

Show me.

This is way outside protocol, Prab.

We should have been informed.

Deka's orders.

Look at us.

With our big Sunday plans.

Why the fuck did you guys
have to blabber to Deka?

If you hadn't snitched on us,
none of this had happened.

Why do you look so fucked up?

Did they find your phone?

I just feel fucked about
all this too, okay.

You guys lost your money,

and you'll fucked it up
for the rest of us.

Prab.

We get it.

Come on, Jogi.

Get your house in order.

For fuck sake.

Alright boys, you can leave now.

Thank you.

Can you send TK in, please?

Thanks.

TK, I told you to keep an eye
on that boy Shakti.

How could you let this happen?

It's what I wanted
to talk to you about.

Does anyone know about
the last time he was missing?

He wasn't really missing though,
was he?

Only an hour late from his outing.

He wasn't with his
local guardian, sir.

In my opinion,
we should tell Deka, sir.

Isn't all this enough already,
to make me look like an idiot?

Haven't I been embarrassed
enough already?

Vikram never keeps
any secrets from me.

You must have convinced him,

to keep your little outing a secret.

It was just a plan, sir.

Beers, pizzas, hotel rooms...

Every senior is allowed these.

If you had told me,

I would have sponsored
the whole shindig.

And avoided this mess.

And having to answer to Deka.

Didn't mean to, sir.

It's too late now.

Any more surprises left up
your sleeve? Tell me now.

But not a word about
Shakti missing earlier.

It's not going to help anyone. Okay?

Go on now.

Essel World?

That's his home.

His father owns it.

He hasn't told this secret
to anyone yet.

Shakti is my best friend.

He promised to give me
a tour of his home.

Essel World.

Thank you.

You are welcome.

Compass.
Torch.

And a pocket knife too.

Shakti never returns any stuff
he borrows from me.

But that's not fair.

I would be mad.

Don't you feel mad?

I do. But not much.

Shakti and I go on adventures
together.

And we always hunt
snake skins together.

Shakti is my best friend.

Shakti isn't anyone's friend.

I always knew.

He always thought
he was better than us.

That's why he ran away.

I told Murli.

But no one listens to me.

Sorry.

Yes.

Come in, Murli.

Please come.

Sit.

You've had a very long day, right?

Must be frustrating to answer
the same question again and again.

The policemen
didn't scare you, right?

Actually,
I am not afraid of the police.

My uncle is a policeman
in Trivandrum.

Aah, yes. Your hometown.

Miss home?

No.

My father is a strict man.

Stricter than the housemaster.

We are not allowed to go out.

I like it here.

Because Shakti and I--

What happened, Murli?

I can understand how you
must be feeling, you know.

There shouldn't be secrets
between friends,

right.

I can understand your anger.

And if Shakti didn't tell
you about his plans...

His best friend.

Then something must
be really wrong.

Right?

Think about it.

What could be hurting
him so much?

Or who?

He was on a senior's radar.

For some mischief he did.

What kind of mischief?

And which senior?

-May I come in, ma'am?
-Yes, please. Come, sit.

Tapan, I just wanted to talk to you,

about your college applications.

Thanks, ma'am.

But they have already been
taken care of by my family,

well before I came to this school.

Yeah, but are you happy with them?

You have far better options, Tapan.

I can email you some links
if you need them.

No, ma'am.

I know you are calling everyone here
to ask about Shakti, right?

Isn't that what
this is really about?

Was he a troublesome kid?

No, ma'am. He was like every other
kid in the dorm.

And as seniors,
we've to keep track of them.

So it was really trivial.

So what sort of an issue
were you helping him with?

Ma'am, every house
has its own rules.

So as an old boy of Rajpath,

I was helping him fit in.

These things take time.

So do these kids sometimes
get angry with you,

for disciplining them?

No one likes rules, ma'am.

I think they get angry at the rules.

Can you help me understand
one thing, Tapan?

Who makes these rules?

And if anyone wants
to break these rules

or disobeys them,

are they bullied?

You think I bullied Shakti, right?

That is why he ran away.

Honestly, I am very confused.

You have it completely
backwards, ma'am.

Shakti was an indisciplined child.

I made him do some chores.

I made him do some
extra running for that.

And he took it personally.

He stole our money.

He got all of us into trouble.

I'll see you later, bye.

You haven't been buying
flowers for madam lately.

Nice to see you.

What's up?

The usual.

Nothing much.

Give me the flowers.

You seem to be in a hurry.

And why is your phone switched off?

It's been seized.

There was a surprise raid
at the dorm in the morning.

Keep the money.
I'll see you later.

Keep the loose change.

You will give me Rs. 2,00,000.

Okay?

Okay?

I don't have that kind of money.

Not my problem.

Say it.

I need time.

You have three days.

Where the fuck were you?

Do you know what's happening?

I was with the counsellor.

She was asking about Shakti.

She thinks I am responsible for it.

Bhola wants Rs. 2,00,000.

Came to see me outside the dorm.

I knew this would happen.

I have an idea.

I'll ask Dad for the money.

Let's give him the money
and end this.

No. No dad.

In fact, no family at all.

He'll keep blackmailing us for life.

He'll ask for more
if we pay him once.

Then we'll keep paying him.

He sells us weed.

That's a crime.

If we threaten to go to the police,
he will stop bugging us.

Just let me think this through.

Where did you find the cigarette?

The storeroom.

What was Sam sir saying?

You heard everything
from behind the doors.

We've to be extra careful, TK.

His ass is on the line too.

Let's avoid meeting one on one.
And meet him together.

What the...

Leopard.

Must be a jackal or a fox.

Do you know everything?

I've seen more animals in a zoo,

then you've seen in a jungle.

In Mumbai.

With my dad.

Mumbai. You say.

Those animals must be like you.

Dumb.

What are you doing?
Are you mad?

You should try it too.

It will scare away any animal
in the vicinity.

Life must be boring after death,
isn't it?

Just lie there.

Where?

Here. In the grave.

But it's so small.

My bunk bed is bigger.

People go to heaven after they die.

How do you know?

That's where all my siblings are.

My father told me.

Shakti. Are you crazy?

Don't you know?
Spirits live in trees.

If you pee here,

they will haunt you in your dreams.

Understand.

Didn't your father tell you this?

My father doesn't tell me
such rubbish.

And stop trying to scare me.

I scare my friend Murli every day.

I tell him that the ghost
alley is haunted,

and he believes me.

You really are dumb.

Spirits who are denied salvation,
live in trees.

Understood.

Okay, I dare you.

Let's see you do it.

I will be convinced.

Idiot.
