Dead body?
I'm sure that Squirrel Monster has killed Mr. Sanjay.
Dr. Gargi, when will Dr. Salunkhe come back from Delhi?
He seems to be held up there.
Yes, sir. He's in Delhi, solving a very complicated case
along with the police.
It might take some time.
This case doesn't look any less complicated.
Don't worry, sir. I'm a gold medalist in forensic science.
There won't be any problem.
There are two wounds near the chest.
Could this be the cause of death?
Yes, sir.
Looks like there's not a single drop of blood in this body.
What?
It looks like that demon has sucked out all the blood.
Not demon, sir.
Monster. Squirrel Monster.
Squirrel Monster? What kind of monster is this?
I haven't heard about this monster.
All this is his doing, sir.
It killed Mr. Sanjay and drank all his blood.
That Squirrel Monster rules over this entire forest.
Not even a leaf moves without his permission.
What nonsense are you talking about?
He's right, sir.
This happened many years ago.
There was a hunter named Shamsher in these jungles.
God knows how many animals he hunted down.
And at the same time, this jungle put a curse on Shamsher.
He turned into a monstrous animal and roamed these jungles.
Even after Shamsher died, the curse was not lifted.
Whenever anyone died,
that curse would be passed on to someone else.
Uh… Who is the cursed one now?
I'll tell you.
My great-grandfather did a special ritual and started a flame.
So that the curse does not enter this jungle again.
We did not let the flame die out for years, sir.
But one year ago, someone came and put out that flame.
The curse came back into the jungle.
It turned into that squirrel monster and is killing our animals.
But, sir,
until now that Squirrel Monster had not killed any humans.
It's the first time today
that a human has fallen prey to that Squirrel Monster.
Maybe like his previous generations,
he wants to pass the curse to someone else before dying.
He's looking for his successor.
All this is nonsense. There's nothing like this.
I know, sir. You city folk don't believe in all this.
But the terror of the Squirrel Monster has been rampant for many years.
Our work is to catch humans and criminals.
It's not in our job profile to catch souls and ghosts.
Pankaj…
There's nothing like a curse or anything.
You are all talking about superstitions in the 21st century.
Not only will we solve this man's murder case,
but we'll get rid of all the rubbish about the Squirrel Monster from your brains.
In this process, I hope
you don't get caught in danger while trying to help us out.
I think this uncle is right.
- We have to make our way out of here. - Yes?
No, sir. I actually…
This Squirrel Monster…
Is he called Squirrel Monster because he looks like a squirrel?
Yes, sir. He has long nails.
And a long tail like a squirrel.
He's very dangerous, sir.
The Squirrel Monster has shed a lot of hair.
Look at all the hair that I found on the way.
And there is blood on this hair too.
- Dr. Gargi. - Sir.
Use this evidence to solve this murder.
Purvi, this is his phone. It's locked. Have a look.
Was this man who died staying at your resort?
Yes, sir.
Where did he come from?
You must have all the information about the guests.
Sir, he was from Mumbai.
He was working in an IT company.
When did he come to your resort?
Around a week ago.
We have to check the resort.
- Please give us Sanjay's address. - Yes, sir.
I'll go to Sanjay's house and see if I get some information.
I'll meet you at the resort.
Hey! Can't you see?
Go away. Go away from here.
Or else, you're sure to die.
No one will be saved.
No one will leave here alive.
Hey, Anil. Did you drink again, early in the morning?
Move aside. They are from CID. They will lock you up.
So what if they're from CID?
Everyone will die.
- Who is he? - His name is Anil.
He was leading a good life.
But one day…
What happened?
He saw the Squirrel Monster with his own eyes.
He has been in shock since then. He drinks and just wanders everywhere.
Hold on.
Did he really see the Squirrel Monster with his own eyes?
Yes, sir.
He was the first person who saw the Squirrel Monster
after the curse came back.
Really? When did this happen?
Around one year ago.
Hmm. Interesting.
- Okay, show me Sanjay's room. - Yes.
Sir, I'll unlock Sanjay's phone and come back.
Okay.
Every time Mr. Sanjay would come, he would stay in this room.
Does that mean he's been to this resort before?
Yes, sir. It's been around five years now.
Each year, he'd come around Valentine's Day and stay in this room.
If he was a regular visitor for the last five years, which means
that you know him well.
No, sir. He would mostly keep to himself.
- He wouldn't talk much to anyone. - Okay.
Yes, sir. This is Mr. Sanjay's room.
- And yes… - Hmm.
We could see happiness on his face only because of Jay.
Who is Jay? His son?
No, sir. His pet dog, Jay.
He would always bring the dog with him.
The dog would accompany him anytime he went on hikes nearby.
Did he not bring Jay with him this time?
He brought him. But I didn't see him anywhere.
What else would Mr. Sanjay do during his stay here?
Sir… Yes, sir.
He would keep writing something in this diary.
- What would he write? - I don't know, sir.
Sir. I've unlocked Sanjay's phone.
There are only photos and videos of his dog Jay, in the photo gallery.
He loved his dog a lot.
Ashwin, tell me, do you suspect anyone?
Who could have killed Sanjay?
Not just doubt, but I'm sure
that the Squirrel Monster has killed him.
I'm talking about humans. Do you suspect people?
No, sir. He did not have enmity with anyone, nor would he hurt anyone.
In fact, he'd tip the hotel staff well. Everyone was happy with him.
Did you find anything here?
We found several photos of Sanjay's dog, Jay, on his phone gallery.
Looks like he loved his dog a lot.
Really?
Sanjay's house owner told me that he loved a girl named Sharvari.
Sanjay was in love with a girl named Sharvari.
She died in an accident five years ago.
Any idea how the accident happened?
Yes, sir. I heard Sanjay was drunk while driving the car.
The car met with an accident because he was drunk.
Okay, can you tell me something else about Sanjay?
After Sharvari's death, Sanjay was very withdrawn.
He wouldn't talk to or see anyone.
Even the manager said the same thing. Every time he came here
he'd be sad and cut off from everything. That could be the reason.
I see.
Who was the last one to see him leave the resort?
Yes, sir. I was the last one to see Mr. Sanjay leave the resort.
Geeta, what was the time when Sanjay went for a walk?
Around 9:00 pm.
My shift had just ended and I was leaving from here.
Would he go at the same time every day, for his walk?
Yes, sir. He would go with the dog every day.
How was his behavior when he went out last night?
Did you find anything strange? Did he look stressed?
No, sir. His behavior was the same as always.
- But… - But, what?
But, his dog Jay
was behaving strangely.
It was barking loudly.
As if he did not want to go out.
Sir, I've heard dogs have a sixth sense.
Such animals can sniff a ghost or monster beforehand.
Maybe it felt the Squirrel Monster's presence beforehand.
If anyone talks about the Squirrel Monster again,
then I will not spare them. Got it?
- But, sir… - But, what?
What were you doing in the jungle?
Interviewing the squirrel?
Sir, I… I was going home.
He's lying, sir.
The CCTV footage shows him leaving through the backyard.
Why did you need to leave through the backyard to go home?
Sir, are you suspecting me?
I escaped with great difficulty from there.
- Why did he let you go? - Are you his uncle?
No, sir. It was God's grace
that he could not lay even a finger on me.
Listen to me carefully.
Until we find Sanjay's killer,
no one will leave this resort.
Neither the staff nor the guests.
Purvi, take the guest list.
- And speak to each one of them. - Yes, sir.
This case is very weird.
There was not a drop of blood in Sanjay's body.
There was no blood near his wound either.
What could be the issue?
Gargi, any progress on this case?
Yes, sir. The animal hair sample that Ms. Purvi got…
Yes, there was blood on that. What about it?
So far we know that the blood is not Sanjay's but someone else's.
- Someone else? - Yes, ma'am.
What about the wound on Sanjay's chest?
Is it made by the teeth of a squirrel?
Looking at the shape it seems like a squirrel's tooth made it.
But the size is much, much bigger.
As if it were a huge squirrel.
Was there a saliva sample of any animal near the wound?
No, sir. I did not find any such traces.
Dr. Gargi, did you check thoroughly?
Yes, sir. As Dr. Salunkhe is not here, I'm checking every fact more than once.
This means, the mark was not made by an animal's tooth,
but with a tool that looks something like a tooth.
Hmm.
A sharp weapon, that is shaped just like a squirrel's tooth.
But, sir, I couldn't understand one thing.
How did all the blood disappear from Sanjay's body?
Sir. Your job is to play with danger.
Why have you brought me here?
Sanjay would come here for a walk, right?
Yes, sir.
We brought you here so that you can confirm it.
Pankaj. You're so quiet.
Why are you not speaking?
Today, I'm feeling like I chose the wrong career.
We should be catching criminals,
but we're here to catch monsters.
It's fine, Pankaj. If you catch a monster, you can click a nice selfie
and upload it on social media. You'll go viral.
Sir… I think I'm catching a viral fever.
I just hope the monster won't choose me
as his successor.
Huh! Did you hear that, sir?
Sir, we mustn't go any further.
This place is really dangerous.
If we don't go further, how will we solve Sanjay's murder?
And if we find the monster, I want to ask him
why he chose Sanjay as his first victim?
Sir, this is the place
where Anil saw the Squirrel Monster for the first time.
What? Is this the place?
Sir, we must not linger here any longer.
Staying here means inviting our deaths.
Why are we putting our lives at stake?
Let's go back, please.
Now that we're here, let's take the Squirrel Monster with us.
Hey, who is that?
Daya sir-- Hey!
- Sir. - Daya sir.
No, no. He's not here.
Daya sir. Daya sir…
Daya sir?
Daya sir…
Oh, God. I'm always left alone.
Daya sir.
Purvi.
Huh!
Hey… Oh, God.
Hey!
Doctor, how is Pankaj now?
There's no need to worry. It's just a bruise.
I've given him sedatives, he'll wake up soon. Do call me if you need me.
Okay. Thank you, doctor.
Call him out. We'll kill him.
We will kill him.
- Yes, call him out. - We will kill him.
- We'll kill him. - We won't spare him.
- Bring him out. - Hey. Stop.
What is all this nonsense?
This is not nonsense. This is the solution.
Your teammate was hurt by the Squirrel Monster.
If he becomes a monster, then he will kill all of us.
Yes, he will kill all of us.
- We won't spare him. Get him out. - This is the limit of blind faith.
The world has advanced so far and you're believing in such things.
We don't know all that. Get him out.
We will kill him.
- We won't spare him. - Yes, we will kill him.
Hey! If anyone hurts Pankaj, then just remember…
Get going from here. Go home.
We are going for now, sir. But remember one thing,
neither a doctor nor any medicine
can cure your teammate.
Because the Squirrel Monster has bit him.
And once he turns into a monster
then he will never become human again.
- Remember that. - Get going.
- Okay, go. - He will never be human again.
- We will kill him. - Let's go.
- Yes, we will kill him. - We won't spare him.
- He won't survive.
Pankaj?
- Pankaj! - Pankaj…
Pankaj.
- Purvi. - Yes.
You look on that side.
Pankaj!
Pankaj.
Hello, Abhijeet. Pankaj is missing from the circuit house.
Okay, I'll look for him in the resort.
Okay.
Pankaj.
Pankaj!
Pankaj.
Pankaj. What happened to you?
Pankaj.
Come to your senses.
Pankaj, what's happening?
Pankaj!
Pankaj, what are you doing? Let him go.
Pankaj!
Abhijeet.
Sachin?
What is going on, Sachin?
I tried calling you after you were transferred from CID,
but I couldn't reach you.
Sir, from then until now,
I was working with the Narcotics department, on this very drug.
- Undercover cop. - On this drug?
Yes, sir. This is a new drug.
Devil breath. It's a very terrifying drug.
It has created havoc everywhere.
It has reached cities and villages in every direction.
What else do you know about this drug? How is it made?
This way, sir.
Do you see this red lily plant? The drug is made from this.
Consuming it in large quantities have caused
many innocent people to lose their lives to it.
But there's no tension now.
Our team has made an antidote for this.
After taking this drug, people get a lot of strength and energy in their body.
Yes, sir. Strength, energy, speed, all of it.
But only for a limited time.
After that, it affects the person's body in a very negative way.
I'm don't understand…
Pankaj was with us, who could have given him that drug?
Maybe, when Pankaj was unconscious in the jungle that night
someone must have given it to him at that time.
Hello, Dr. Gargi.
What?
Oh!
Uh… Okay, inform us after all the tests are done.
- Okay. - What happened, sir?
Dr. Gargi has Sanjay's medical history. It shows
that he had hemophilia, a rare disorder.
Sir, hemophilia is the disease where the blood does not clot, right?
The blood flows out even if the person gets a small wound.
Maybe that's why after Sanjay died, there was no blood in his body.
We have to find Sanjay's dog.
We might get some clues.
Yes. We have to find this dog.
For that, we have to go to the same place where we were attacked.
Sir.
Huh?
Daya sir.
Hey. Why am I all tied up?
Daya sir, I had a horrible dream.
I pushed Abhijeet sir into the water.
And then I pounced on him.
And I attacked him, sir.
And sorry, sir. In my dream, I attacked you too.
Ow!
This--
This-- Why are my clothes--
Brother, your face looks very familiar.
Hmm. You identified correctly but by mistake.
Sachin sir. Hey!
Did you hear any sounds?
Yes, sir.
Jay.
Jay must be thinking that Sanjay is calling him.
Because Sanjay would whistle and call him like this.
Jay.
Jay…
Jay. Come, boy… Come…
Abhijeet, I know you're not very fond of dogs
but do try. Maybe you'll become friends this time.
Sir, I'm seeing Abhijeet sir liking a pet for the first time.
These animals have an amazing sixth sense.
He knows that we're not here to harm him, but we want to be friends.
Let's take him to the resort. He looks tired.
Okay. I'll go to the check post and have a look. I might find something.
Where is Sachin?
Sachin is on the way. He'll be here soon.
It's a dangerous place. Be careful.
- Okay. - Come on, Jay. Let's go.
Please let us go. Why are you holding us back?
We did not come here for all this. We came for a holiday.
- Please let us go. - What's the problem?
You've packed your bags.
Where are they going?
Sir, all our guests are feeling troubled.
Please let them go home.
- Anyway you have their addresses. - So?
Call everyone to the hall. Everyone, including the staff.
Sure, sir.
So, doctor…
You earned a lot of money by making the Devil's Breath drug. But it's no use now.
Shall we go?
We are stuck here through no fault of our own.
We will never come to this resort for our holidays again.
Did you see that, sir? Our resort is getting a bad name.
Not anymore, it won't. Because we've caught the killer.
What? Did you catch the Squirrel Monster?
Nonsense.
It's all false. There's no such thing as a monster.
A series of stories were built
to hide an underground drugs business.
And the main writer of all those stories
is behind you. There he is.
Come in.
Here are the two heroes, sir.
Anil and Dr. Digvijay? You?
Yes, Dr. Digvijay.
He's the mastermind behind all this.
And he's the one who injected Pankaj with drugs.
Because of it, Pankaj thought he was the Squirrel Monster.
He used the red lily plant that is found here
and made a special type of drug and ran a drug business.
- Drugs? - Yes, drugs.
A drug named Devil's Breath.
And Anil
would disguise as the Squirrel Monster and act like a monster.
So what if it's the CID?
Everyone will die.
You acted very well in front of us
so that no one would suspect you.
The villagers thought that the stories Anil told
were true because after taking the drug
the person would have great energy and strength.
Tell us, why did you kill Sanjay?
Is it because he found your workshop?
No, sir. I have not killed Sanjay.
I wanted to kill Jay.
Why? Because he doubted that I'm the Squirrel Monster.
And he would keep barking at me.
Shh!
So that Sanjay does not get suspicious because of Jay's barking,
you tried to kill that innocent animal.
Yes, sir. If Jay were gone, then no one would doubt me.
And the villagers would continue to be scared of the Squirrel Monster.
Why couldn't you kill Jay that night?
I tried to find him but after that night we couldn't find him at all.
Sir, I think he's lying.
If he did not kill Sanjay, then who did?
Only one person can answer this question.
What did you think? That we won't know the truth?
Is this some sort of a joke?
Just because this dog is barking, are you saying that I'm the killer?
Okay, then. Let me tell you a story about the killer.
It so happened, that Sanjay went out for a walk with Jay, in the night.
The killer had already planned to kill Sanjay.
The killer also knew
that along with Sanjay, he has to kill Jay too.
Or else, the police will get to him, through Jay.
When we did not find Jay's body, we got suspicious.
We thought that something was amiss.
That could mean only two things.
Either the killer took Jay with him…
Or he would've left Jay in the jungle.
The killer knew about Sanjay's hemophilia disorder.
That's when we realized that the killer is someone close to Sanjay.
Someone very close to him.
That's why Jay did not bark when the killer came close to Sanjay.
Then we found out where Sanjay got Jay.
The house owner said that Jay was given as a gift to Sharvari.
And the gift
was given by her brother. That is you.
This time I don't want any money.
I want a nice gift this time.
I knew my dear sister would demand a gift this time,
that's why I've brought a gift for you
that will touch your heart.
Wow. He's so cute.
Such a cute puppy. I'll name him Jay.
Okay, then. His name is Jay from today.
Hello.
What? Are you bleeding? How?
Okay… I'm coming.
What happened?
Sanjay cut his finger while chopping vegetables.
Why did you react like this for such a small thing?
I was worried something big happened.
No, Sanjay has hemophilia.
Even a small wound can be fatal for him.
- I have to go. - Hey…
Sharvari.
Come on, get out.
When CID chases someone down,
then the paths fall short.
How far will you run?
Yes, I wanted to take revenge against Sanjay.
My innocent sister would be alive
if Sanjay hadn't been so careless that night.
Whatever Sanjay did was wrong.
He was drunk while driving the car.
But you… You waited for five years
to come up with such a dangerous plan.
Yes. I have done it.
I knew that Sanjay often came to this resort for his holidays.
A few days ago I read about the Squirrel Monster on the internet.
That's when I made the plan.
The plan was great.
You would kill Sanjay,
and blame it on the Squirrel Monster.
Tell me, how did you drain all the blood from his body?
I thought if all the blood from his body would drain out,
then everyone will think that the Squirrel Monster did it.
That he was the one who killed Sanjay.
You made one mistake. You left Jay to live.
It was not a mistake, sir.
I couldn't bring myself to hurt him.
He was my sister's only memory.
How could I kill him?
I couldn't.
Only if your hands trembled before killing a human.
But you showed your monstrosity there.
Now the law will bring you to justice.
Congratulations.
You solved your first case without me.
Keep moving ahead like this.
I will take a screenshot of this and save it.
So, Sachin…
Did you miss us during the six years that you were away from CID?
What are you saying, sir?
Every moment that I have spent with CID
are the best moments of my life.
Yes, we also have some great memories with you.
I only hope that we cross paths in the future too.
We'll meet soon. Keep your hopes alive.
Sir! Look at this.
I found Sanjay's diary. I found it in the trees at the back.
What's there in this? Did you find anything?
Nothing special, sir. Just a few sad poems.
Finally, you found some clues.
Even if it's after the case has been solved.
