It has been so long
since everyone in the society went on a trip.
Yeah. It's going to be a year.
Here, aunt. Have some sweets.
Oh, wow. Sweets? What are they for?
I have been trying for a visa. Finally, I got it.
Oh, wow.
That's wonderful.
I will eat double the sweets.
Of course.
Raghu, where are you going?
Here. Have some sweets.
The sound was so loud.
I think someone's tire exploded.
No. This is the sound of a bullet firing.
It has been fired in the building.
- Bullet? - A bullet?
In the building?
Boo!
What is this, sir?
Hey.
Why are scared of opening a letter?
Sir, I know why Pankaj is scared.
- Purvi! - Dead Grandma.
Purvi, what is this? Why are you revealing my secrets?
What secret are we talking about?
Tell us about it.
Pankaj sir went to see a movie with a friend.
- Right. - Dead Grandma.
Thats why he is scared of opening this letter
as if some ghost wrote it.
Don't talk about ghosts.
Sir, in the movie, the ghost writes letters as well.
That's why my hands are shivering.
Open the letter and read it.
- No. - Pankaj.
Read the letter.
Read it.
Hey!
This is my friend Jatin's wedding invitation.
What?
Where?
- Pragnesh Sharma. - Yeah, it's me.
I was the one who called you.
Are you sure you heard the bullet being fired?
I have spent my life hearing gunshots.
I can recognize the sound even in my sleep.
You were saying that the sound came from the building.
100%.
Mr. Sharma, are all the residents of the building present here?
Did anybody run away?
After the bullet was fired, Hemant and I,
along with the watchman, checked all the flats.
The door of one flat didn't open.
Flat number 403.
- Whose flat is it? - Vikrant.
I think he shot someone inside his flat.
He was a very rude person.
Please show us the flat.
Please come. Hemant.
Why is it so dark here?
Lights usually don't work here.
That is Vikrant's house.
Sir. That's blood.
It seems like paint, Pankaj.
Sir, he has painted it to make it look like blood.
Vikrant has weird habits, sir.
How do you know?
I live on the same floor.
No one is opening the door. The murderer could be inside.
Please move back.
Break the door down.
Come in.
Please stay here.
- Move back. - Welcome to my humble abode.
I was waiting for you.
The one you are looking for so passionately
is right here.
Sir. The sound is coming from here.
I knew that you would surely come here.
That's why I stayed to welcome you.
Furthermore, I have been called a long ago.
Maybe I am speaking through a speaker,
but I hope that you will be able to solve the mystery of my death.
What is he saying?
The mystery of his death?
Let's check inside.
He is dead?
- Really? - Yeah.
Pankaj, go and call them.
Look at his eyes.
- It's all red. - He died by gunshot,
but I don't see any gunshot wounds.
Forget about the bullet.
There is no sign of a wound or injury on his whole body.
There is a bandage on his hand, and it seems two to three weeks old.
Please check. Is it Vikrant?
Yeah. This is Vikrant.
Yeah, that's him. What happened to him?
We'll tell you. Please wait outside.
Purvi.
Please see them outside.
Search the house properly.
Please come.
Let's go.
I can't understand how he died.
People heard gunshots downstairs.
There is no gunshot wound.
There is no forced entry.
We were the ones who broke the door.
The murderer has left a message for us.
Something is surely going on.
Abhijit.
Don't waste your time finding the bullet
because that sound came from the speaker
and it had full volume.
I used the false evidence of a gunshot
so that you would come here.
Since you are here,
let's see how well you investigate this
and how long you take to get to my murderer.
What if the murderer gets saved
and I don't get justice?
Sir, I found this phone.
It's an old-style phone. It has no camera or anything.
Everyone uses a smartphone these days.
He was using such an old phone.
Sir, there is a room inside.
You will be shocked after seeing it.
Show us.
Sir, look at this.
Is this a house or a museum?
I am feeling dizzy.
How does that man live here?
In the house,
there are so many weapons.
There are guns and swords.
Cookery.
Look. Look at this rope attached to the fan.
What is going on in his mind?
Why would someone have so many weapons in the house?
Look over here.
There is a poison collection here.
Snake poison. Scorpion poison.
Some have been made with hazardous chemicals.
Yeah.
Did he make poison sitting at home?
Ways to make explosives. Explosive manuals.
The people of the building don't like him a lot.
He is surely connected to some gang.
He is a big criminal.
Let's ask the residents about him.
Let us ask why they don't like him.
I have seen all kinds of people in my life,
but I have never seen a rude
and strange person like Vikrant.
Aunty.
You look quite fit,
but your husband just died of a heart attack.
Did you feed him oily food
and got him killed?
How dare you say such awful things?
Hemant, you
- lived on Vikrant's floor, right? - Yes, sir.
What do you do?
Sir, I am a teacher.
I teach online at a Canadian university.
Did you ever talk to Vikrant?
Yes, sir. He was my homeowner.
I was very troubled by him.
He used to enter my house at any time.
How could you enter uninvited like this?
To enter my house,
do I need to get the tenant's permission?
I didn't mean that.
Hey!
I will throw you out of the house.
Well, answer my question.
I am taking classes right now.
Hey!
The classes will continue to happen.
Tell me a way
to dispose of a body.
What?
Didn't you hear me?
Huh?
What to do to prevent the body from smelling bad?
One more thing.
Be it smartphones or computers,
he didn't have knowledge about such devices.
One day, I told him
that one can search for anything through the internet on a computer.
After that, he used to enter my house at any time.
Vikrant's behavior towards everyone was very bad.
Anyone would get angry after hearing him talk.
He did a horrible thing at the time of my father's death.
I will never be able to forget that.
Why are you crying, Mr. Sharma?
You should celebrate.
Your father has given you a 3BHK flat.
Thanks, Mr. Sharma. You can go.
Where were you when Vikrant got murdered?
I was on duty, sir.
- You were on duty. - Yeah.
Where were you on duty?
A person from outside comes and murders someone,
but you dont know about it.
The CCTV cameras are not working here. Why?
They have not been working for the last 15 days.
How can one person keep an eye on everything?
I am the only watchman here.
The residents ask me to get their stuff as well.
Do you suspect someone?
Who could kill Vikrant?
I don't know that, sir.
He used to fight a lot with the people of the society.
What if one of them killed him?
No, sir. It doesnt seem like it.
I think this was a month ago.
Vikrant came in an auto. He was a bit drunk.
His hand was broken.
I went forward to help him.
Sir, how did you break your hand?
Agent Mac might kill me one day.
If you tell anyone about this name,
I will kill you.
Fine.
Wait outside.
Okay, sir.
Who is Agent Mac?
This is the smaller version of xyroform.
Hmm!
Did you see? What is it that I said, Gargi?
Whenever they need any help with a case,
they remember one person, and that's Dr. Salunkhe.
We remember some other forensic doctors,
- but what can we do? - What can we do?
For now, you have to do with this face. You are helpless.
This is what you mean, right?
No, doctor, you've misunderstood.
That's not what he meant.
We were just wondering how Vikrant died.
Chemical poisoning.
- Chemical poisoning? - Yes.
From a chemical called xyroproform.
Which form?
Pankaj, like chloroform,
the one that makes people unconscious when inhaled.
Just like that, this is xyroproform.
It's a hundred times more toxic than chloroform.
Look at this.
See how red his eyes have turned?
This is the effect of the chemical.
The blood vessels in his eyes burst completely,
causing the blood to flood his eyes, making them red.
If xyroproform is this dangerous,
it must not be easily available.
Yes, boss, it isn't.
That means very few people
must be dealing with it.
Then it should be easy to make a list of them.
- Avni. - Yes, sir, I'll find out.
Doctor, how was this poison given to Vikrant?
Like they show in films, by putting chloroform on a handkerchief
and making someone inhale it, or some other way?
Exactly like that, Daya sir.
Here's the handkerchief
with xyroproform on it.
There's an "AM" written on it.
Sir, what could this "AM" mean?
Should I tell you?
Sir, the murder happened in the morning.
That's why "AM" is written.
If it had happened at night, it would've been "PM", right, sir?
AM stands for Agent Mac.
Agent Mac, the name
Vikrant's building guard mentioned to us.
Sir, we've checked everywhere.
Searched all criminal databases.
There's no record of Agent Mac.
- Sir, we also spoke to Interpol. - Yes, Daya.
They say they have no information on Agent Mac.
What about Vikrant's record?
No, sir.
Sir, found it.
Look at this.
Someone from Jharkhand mentioned this book on a social media site.
Agent Mac is a book?
What kind of book is it?
It's about an underworld criminal who wrote about his crimes in it.
Who's the author?
The authors name isn't mentioned. It just says "Anonymous".
Anonymous!
A message from a private number?
Hey, Pankaj, check the email.
Sir, Vikrant sent me a voice message.
He is asking me to check the email.
Then check it.
Sir, there's a video from Agent Macs email.
Play the video.
How's your investigation going?
I already knew this would be the first case in CID's history
that they wouldn't be able to solve.
Anyway, focus on Agent Mac.
If you find the author of that book,
consider yourself closer to my killer.
Though I doubt you'll succeed.
But as they say,
those who try never lose.
Check the IP address.
Sir, it's from a VPN server.
Yes, sir.
We wont be able to trace it.
No problem.
We don't have the authors details, but
we do have the publishers information.
They'll give us the address of Agent Mac's author.
Shoo!
Ma'am, buy some apples.
- They're very sweet. - No.
- Please, ma'am. - Sir, I don't eat these.
- Take some pomegranates, ma'am. - I only eat organic.
You do know what organic is, right?
Are you sure she's the book's publisher?
Yes, sir.
Hot Paper Publishing House belongs to her.
Oh no, it's empty again today.
This Agent Mac will get me killed.
Move aside. I don't want your clothes and purses.
Move!
- Do you want handcuffs, - What is it?
the official brand?
Handcuffs?
If not, then tell us where Agent Mac is.
Wake her up.
Who am I?
Where am I?
Why is it so hot in here? Isn't the AC on?
Oh, now I get it.
This is Agent Mac's fan festival, right?
Oh, my god, this is so amazing.
So, you guys are such big fans of Agent Mac that
you've set up an entire CID scene.
But there's just one problem.
Your fancy dresses
don't match Agent Mac's theme at all.
You all should be wearing criminal-themed fancy dress.
And you!
Wow, boss, she's calling you handsome.
If you had worn a fake beard and moustache,
you'd look like an even more handsome criminal.
Look, madam…
But, tell me one thing.
You all are clean shaved, just like police officers.
What's going on here?
And, you came so late to a fan meeting.
No one values my time.
Whoever wants to take a selfie, do it quickly.
I want to go for manicure. Please, come on. Let's make it fast.
Madam.
You're really from CID?
That's right. This isn't a drama troupe
that we've come up in a disguise.
What does the real CID want with me?
Agent Mac's novels
are printed by your publishing company, right?
Yes. That's our company's most successful franchise.
And, you know what?
Till now, Agent Mac's 150 successful books
have been printed.
150 books?
Yes.
You can go to any railway station or bus stand.
It sells thousands of copies.
So, all 150 novels contain
crime stories?
Yes. What happens is that
a handsome criminal
kills all his enemies one by one.
It looks like you're a big fan of Agent Mac.
Please tell us the writer's name. Who is that person?
How can I tell you? I don't know it myself.
How can't you know his name?
He is sending me videos while impersonating a ghost.
- Like a ghost? - Stop it!
Enough of your drama.
You print 150 books of an author
whose name you don't know?
You want us to believe it?
I know that this is very strange,
but that's the truth.
Okay. So, how does he send his stories to you?
Does he mail it?
No. I'll tell you.
He writes all these stories on paper and then
leaves it in a letter box.
Even this afternoon, I went to get it.
That's when you all brought me here.
The letter box was empty. There was nothing in there.
That's what.
I don't know why he delayed so much with the stories.
He's already made millions through these books.
Millions?
So, which bank account does this money get credited to?
I pay the money in cash.
His condition was that he'll accept the money only in cash.
You said that you haven't seen his face.
Then, didn't you see his face when he came to collect the money?
He sends his goons to collect the money from my office.
Goons?
Who are they?
Tell us something about them.
They don't use deodorant at all. Yuck!
They used to smell like spices from the kitchen.
Are there CCTV cameras in your office?
Go to her office and check the footage from the CCTV camera.
Find out about these goons.
- Please come. - Sure. Lets go.
We've got the list containing names
of the people who bought or sold xyroproform chemical.
Is there any special name?
Look at this.
So, it's him.
Wow. Are you changing your furniture?
Didn't you begin Diwali preparations a bit too soon?
No, sir.
We'll be celebrating Diwali and Holi in Canada.
But how come you're here?
Did you catch Vikrant's murderer?
I've come to catch him.
- What do you mean? - Don't act too innocent, okay?
Keep it down and get out.
- Why are you sending them away? - One minute. Go out.
Go out.
Why did you do that? Im selling my furniture.
My flight to Canada is in two days.
Your flight will be landing in prison now.
I am the pilot of that flight.
This is your boarding pass.
- Do you recognize this? - No, sir.
This is the receipt for xyroproform.
You ordered this online at this home address.
Vikrant was killed using this chemical.
Now, tell me
do you want to make the confession here or at the bureau?
Sir, it's true that I ordered all these chemicals
on Vikrant's request.
I did all this.
I ordered a lot of other strange things too.
There were several illegal goods and weapons found at his house.
I ordered all of those.
You know that it's a crime to order illegal goods, right?
You look like an educated and intelligent man.
You'll buy anything that anyone asks you?
What could I do, sir?
He was my landlord, and he was very rude too.
What if he kicked me out of the house?
I was helpless. So, I ordered whatever he asked me.
Why did you order it?
He could've ordered it too, right?
I already told you
that he wasn't very savvy with the internet, computers, or social media.
I used to do all these things for him.
Really?
Didn't you ever ask him what he did with all the things that you
bought for him?
I had asked him, sir.
He said that he wanted to find out the effect of chemicals on humans.
What? The effect of chemicals on humans?
How did he test it?
- Whom did he test it on? - On himself, sir.
On himself?
Whenever he did these tests, it was my duty
that I stay with him throughout the process.
Did you understand what you need to do?
Please, I'm begging you, Mr. Vikrant.
Please keep me away from all these things. I'm scared.
You want to go to Canada, right? Then, go.
Keep an eye on me tonight.
Your rent for next month will be waived.
If anything happens to me,
or I stop breathing,
you know what you have to do, right?
I'll have to call an ambulance.
Here.
Okay.
For now, I'll assume that you're innocent.
Don't go anywhere till
the culprit is caught.
Please don't do this, sir.
My flight to Canada is in two days.
Don't worry.
It's just a matter of time.
The murderer won't be able to hide much longer from the CID.
Please come.
Oh, God.
Do you know, our offices CCTV camera runs
24 hours.
There you go, gentlemen.
She called me a gentleman.
Not you, but Daya sir.
You think too much of yourself.
Pause it for a bit.
Please bring the register containing
details of the financial transactions with Agent Mac.
I'll bring it right away.
Here.
What's this?
Pause it for a bit.
That's Pintu.
Take this.
These contain all the cash records that I gave the goons for Agent Mac.
You may leave. We'll call if we need you.
Give it to him.
She has paid money to Agent Mac's goons several times.
Yes, sir.
There has been an alert on the CID website.
Agent Mac sent an email to Pankaj.
Yes, to Pankaj.
Check Pankaj's e-mail.
Pankaj, check your mail. One minute, sir.
Mail?
This Agent Mac is very stubborn.
- He keeps sending me mails. - Open the mails quickly.
I am very upset with the CID.
Share the screen with ACP sir.
You couldn't even solve such a simple case.
As the saying goes, great cry and little wool.
Your condition is the same.
How will you fight against the terrorists?
How will you protect the nation?
I think that you should all just retire.
My Agent Mac is better than you.
No matter who this Agent Mac is,
he won't be able to escape.
We've found a lead about Pintu Dada.
Pintu Dada is the one whom you arrested, right?
He said that he had changed after doing time.
I know where we can find Pintu Dada.
Then, Daya,
let's get to Pintu Dada.
He'll take us to Agent Mac.
This used to be Pintu Dada's hideout.
It looks like he started a hotel.
These two waiters are the same
goons seen on the CCTV
who came to collect Agent Macs money from Neena?
- They're the same, sir. - Go and check it out.
So, you used to collect Agent Mac's money from Neena's office, right?
We just went to collect money on Pintu Dada's orders.
Really?
Did you all start extortion along with
catering?
He used to give us a 10% share from that money.
Neena?
Neena, what are you doing here?
Were you following us?
Actually the thing is that,
I want to publish my next book based on how you solve
this case.
What's wrong in spying a bit around detectives?
I already said that they
used to smell like kitchen spices.
That's because they work at this restaurant all the time.
That's why they smell like that.
Well, I do have some brains.
Neena, you should go to your office.
We'll discuss the book later. Okay?
Really? For sure?
- Yes. - Do you promise?
- Okay. You may leave. - Okay.
Where is Pintu Dada? Call him over.
He usually comes by seven am.
But I don't know why he didn't come today.
Neena?
You're back?
Please ask them when Agent Mac will send his next story.
I'm running into a lot of losses.
You're talking about Mac Dada, right?
Do you know Agent Mac?
Yes. He is a really good friend of Pintu Dada.
Well,
Neena, please go to your office.
We'll discuss it later. Right?
- Do you promise? - Yes. You may leave.
Okay. Bye.
Pankaj, focus on the work.
What does Agent Mac look like?
Do you have a photo on your mobile?
We've never seen him, sir.
Then, how do you know that he's a good friend of Pintu Dada?
Because, Pintu Dada always told stories of Mac Dada,
about how he kills his enemies and the police never catches him.
Pintu Dada told Mac Dada his story regarding the CID,
as to how Daya sir and Pankaj sir had caught him.
Pankaj sir is their favorite too.
Oh.
That's why you're receiving all the messages.
You're his favorite, right?
so, when and where did Pintu Dada
and Agent Mac meet?
Did Agent Mac come to the hotel?
They meet right here, every Friday night,
right after the restaurant closes down.
Mac Dada didnt want anyone to see his face.
They used to talk and drink alcohol together.
Give me Pintu Dada's address.
Pintu Dada, get up.
Hey, Pintu?
- He's dead. - What?
Look at his eyes. They're red.
It's exactly the same as Vikrant.
Looks like the same chemical was used on him as well,
xyroproform.
Do one thing, arrange to send
all these things to the forensic.
Can I check his body?
It's locked.
There you go.
It's open.
Let's see if
Agent Mac or Mac Dada's numbers are stored in his phone.
Yes, it's stored.
So,
this is Agent Mac.
I never thought that he'd be Agent Mac.
Yes.
Abhijeet, this case keeps sinking like quicksand.
First, Vikrant was killed, and then Pintu was killed in the same way
by using xyroproform chemical.
Sir, Agent Mac killed Pintu as well as Vikrant.
- I dont understand who Agent Mac is. - Who is he?
- Yes? - Agent Mac is dead.
- What? - Yes.
Agent Mac's author was none other than Vikrant himself.
He's the one who wrote these 150 books.
That's why Neena can't find any new stories this month.
This is Pintu's phone, sir.
Pintu has stored Vikrant's photo
under Agent Mac's name.
This contains several photographs of Vikrant and Pintu together.
So, thats it.
So, the drugs, chemicals,
and weapons we found in Vikrant's house
was gathered by Vikrant for research in his stories.
Yes.
He told the watchman that Agent Mac will kill him.
Agent Mac will kill me one day.
Maybe, he meant to say that
he was burdened with a lot of work.
He must be complaining like the other overworked people.
Are you overworked?
No, sir.
Everything is becoming clear now.
Vikrant made Pintu his friend
so that Pintu can tell him stories about the underworld…
And then, Agent Mac can use those stories in his books.
Correct.
But, I still don't understand something.
Who killed Vikrant and Pintu?
Sir, once we find
the motive, then maybe we can get to the killer.
I think it's that Nina. She is a crooked person.
No, Pankaj.
Neena was making millions from Agent Mac's books.
She's the one who incurred losses because of these deaths.
This means that whoever the killer might be,
they're very close to us.
We can't even identify him.
Oh my! Another email
from Agent Mac's soul.
Congratulations on your failures.
I already knew
that the CID won't be able to solve this case.
Now look, that's what happened.
Pintu must be dead by now as well.
And you
must've failed at saving him.
Well, it's all right.
I'll open all the cards of this case.
The thing is that I got bored of writing
criminal stories.
I earned a lot of money.
But there was a loneliness in my life.
So, I thought about doing something spectacular.
So, I made myself the first victim of this case.
I poisoned Pintus alcohol,
just for fun.
Goodbye.
Sir, this isn't a murder case.
This is a suicide case.
No, Pankaj.
There's something wrong in this video.
Salunkhe had clearly said that Vikrant was killed
by holding a poisonous towel to his face.
He was suffocated.
That means, someone is trying to disguise this murder
as a suicide, just to distract us.
Now, about the money.
Where did the money go?
Let's check Neena's diary.
Maybe, we'll find something there.
Neena paid 50 million rupees to Vikrant
for Agent Mac's novels.
It means that everything is for money.
The murderer escaped with all the money.
He wants to convince us that
this is a suicide case so that we don't keep pursuing him.
So, that means that this video is fake too?
Vikrant's soul…
- It's not Vikrant. - Pankaj,
the murderer didn't mention the CID
in the audio message that we heard at Vikrant's house.
The CID was mentioned several times in the videos that we received later.
- Do you know why? - Why, sir?
Because he felt that
the local police will arrive once the complaint was sent.
But, Colonel Sharma called the CID.
And we got to that place.
After that, all videos were edited.
Wherever CID's name was mentioned,
he didn't capture Vikrant's face,
but his hands or legs.
This would be the first case in the history of CID.
The editing was incredible.
Pankaj,
the killer used some excuse to make Vikrant record that message.
When we were sent those video messages,
they edited it before sending.
The plan was good.
But, for how long? They were bound to get caught one day.
Now, regarding the 50 million rupees.
If we find the money, that evidence will take us to the killer.
Search the entire house properly.
Vikrant must have hidden the money somewhere around here.
- Yes? - Look at this, sir.
Huh?
So many currency notes.
If the entire amount is here,
why were those two killed?
Maybe, they were waiting for the right moment to steal the money.
But we got here ahead of them.
What's this?
Only the currency notes on top at real,
the rest are all counterfeit.
This criminal was born with a fox's intelligence.
He has always been one step ahead of us in this case.
But we'll play the last move in this case.
But how will we find out
who replaced the real notes with counterfeit currency?
There's only one person who needs money the most.
He has VISA to get out of the country too.
Sir, you've already broken two doors in the case. Please be patient.
You all are back here again?
Did you find the killer?
You're so boring.
You have the same expression,
as that of a poor and helpless person,
along with the same old dialogues.
Was the killer caught? How come you're here?
Oh.
Your belongings are packed. Were you getting ready to go to Canada?
Hey!
Let me go.
Or else, I'll make this fat officer thin.
Who are you calling fat, you nerd?
I won't stop you anymore.
Hey!
I needed money urgently.
Many people need money.
Not everyone takes the wrong path, like you did.
You've murdered people.
Vikrant had really pissed me off.
He used to get drunk and come into my home, any time he wants.
What could I do?
It had really ruined my mental health.
One day, he told me the secret about Agent Mac.
Mac Agent.
When you found out that he became a millionaire using the Agent Mac books,
you came up with the idea of committing a crime, right?
He used to trust me a lot.
He told me several other things as well.
His friendship with Pintu from the underworld.
He told me a lot of stories.
But he never told me where he kept the money.
So, you killed Vikrant for money.
No. I had already stolen the money
on the day when he was completely drunk.
Why did you kill Pintu?
Vikrant told him
that I stole his money.
Pintu kept threatening me
that he won't let me go if I don't return
Vikrant's money.
Then, you mixed xyroproform in Pintu's drink,
and killed him.
I was helpless, sir.
Those two came and stood in between my poverty
and bright future.
I had to kill them both.
You have no idea how dark your bright future
is going to be now.
What's with the video messages
you kept sending us?
Vikrant's hand was fractured.
He couldn't write any stories.
I told him about an app that converted audio
into written material.
Wow.
Voice-to-text software?
Yes, that's right.
When Vikrant used to narrate his stories,
I came up with an idea.
I could deceive the law by recording
those narrations.
I'd get enough time to leave the country.
Then, I started editing the videos
and sending them to you.
If you had used your brilliant mind for the right purpose,
you could've reached Canada by now.
But now…
Please let me go, sir.
I'll give you all a lot of money.
You want to bribe the CID?
You'll regret a lot.
You can rot in prison
and regret about your crimes.
By then, you'll get the verdict of death.
