'All the CID officers are here together.'
'I have shared the location with you.'
'A few hours ago'
This is today's schedule.
Roshni, where is Aniket? Why isn't he receiving my calls?
When I reached the office, I saw him in the studio.
He was recording something. Maybe he's still there.
Okay. I need to discuss today's podcast with you two.
So, let's go to the studio.
The recording is still on. God knows what he's recording.
Aniket.
Aniket has put on headphones. He's not able to hear us.
Ma'am, we should go inside and check.
Aniket.
Aniket! What's this, Roshni?
Aniket!
How did this happen?
Pull yourself together.
Sir, the new ACP is staring at us
like we are his breakfast.
Daya seems to be pancakes, Abhijeet seems like an omelette,
Purvi seems like bread, and Pankaj seems like curry to him.
Stop this. My mouth is watering.
Outsiders will take advantage of the issues prevailing within CID.
Not him, but we have to find
the traitor within the CID team.
- Sir. - Oh, wow!
Abhijeet and Daya arrived on time.
It has only been one hour that we received the complaint.
Your senior reached here 20 minutes before your arrival.
Sir, we are investigating a critical case.
We were busy with that.
We reached here as soon as we received the complaint.
It takes a while.
Abhijeet, you need to manage time.
All cases are equally important for CID officers.
So, you need to be punctual.
- As you say, sir. - Thank you.
Pankaj Sir, did you see, how ACP disciplined
the so-called lions of CID.
Thank your Lord, that they're quiet.
If any of these lions wake up,
your ACP will be
silenced forever. Got it?
- Got it? - Pankaj.
Yes, sir.
If you're done with your screaming,
then, focus on your work.
Sir. Wait a minute.
You two, give us a minute. We've to discuss something.
Yeah.
Sir. Dr Gargi was calling.
The doctor and nurse, who committed suicide in our custody,
have died due to the Neophyte drug.
Neophyte. I've heard this before.
We must find out
who gave them that drug.
But we should focus on this case, right now.
Today I'm going to speak about a case,
which police think,
was an accident.
Two years ago, a girl suddenly
fell from her balcony and died.
According to police, she slipped while drying clothes
and she fell from the balcony.
Police declared it an accident.
Then, the case was closed.
But the truth was something else.
A truth, which you can't even imagine.
When I investigated this case,
I got several hidden evidence.
Today, I'll reveal the truth behind her death.
Because I know the real truth.
I also have evidence to prove…
One thing is clear from the recording.
He knew some secret related to that girl's death.
This might be the reason, he got killed.
Yes, sir. Aniket was a true crime podcaster.
He revealed true crime stories to his audience.
The recording implies,
he collected evidence as well.
Sir. This is a damaged phone.
This might be Aniket's.
Purvi. Send this phone for data recovery.
This phone might have important evidence.
Sir.
Sir, Bhoomi has started to check the victim's body.
I'm here to call you.
And, what can we two do there?
Pradyuman's true disciples are already there.
They'll handle the case.
Till then, we need to investigate here.
- Tell me something, Kritika. - Yes, sir.
If you want any information of any house in the society,
whom should we ask?
Sir, we should ask the aunts in the society.
Wrong.
No, they won't know.
Instead, the maids have all the information.
Also, the watchman knows.
And, the watchman of this building can give us some information
which we can't get from the crime scene.
When did Aniket reach the office today?
How can he come in the morning?
He was here throughout the night.
- What? - Yes.
He was working in the office.
Was Aniket alone?
Was there anyone with him or did anyone come to meet him?
No, sir. He was all alone.
Neither was there any staff nor any outsider came to meet him.
It is possible that you left your place
and someone came during that time.
No, ma'am. This can't happen.
I was only here, the whole night.
Okay. Thank you.
Hey. Come here.
Sir. Check this out.
The killer has attacked him from behind.
Firstly, he stabbed with this pen.
This damaged his vocal cords.
Then, using another weapon,
he slit his throat from left to right.
How did you get this just by looking at the wound?
I'm a forensic science student.
So, it's easy for me.
By the way, I always focus on my work.
Sir, he died before seven to eight hours.
Seven to eight hours!
How's that possible?
The body has not even gone into rigor mortis.
The blood has clotted due to the low temperature of the AC.
That has delayed rigor mortis.
Let's investigate the staff.
Someone might have any information.
- Okay. - Let's go.
Who asked you to follow us?
Mam, I wasn't following you.
I wanted to tell you something.
But I couldn't say it, in front of others.
I was just finding the right opportunity.
What do you want to say?
Sir, yesterday evening, I went to Aniket's office to give him coffee.
I saw Aniket and Mannat arguing with each other.
I don't know the reason.
But when I was leaving,
I saw Mannat threatening Aniket.
She told him that if he did this, it won't end well for him.
- Okay. Thank you. - Okay.
Sir, does this mean, Mannat has killed Aniket.
Or Mannat has got something which she is hiding?
I told you already, we'll get some information here.
Do one thing.
Go upstairs and check, what's going on there.
Also, discuss it with Mannat.
Hello. Yes.
All the CID officers are here, together.
I've shared the location with you.
Yeah.
Sir, the office peon has revealed
about an argument between Mannat and Aniket.
And Mannat had threatened to kill Aniket.
Sir, I feel suspicious about Mannat.
Okay. Let's meet her.
Yes, sir.
We also suspect Mannat. There is nothing new about it.
Sir. Did you get any information?
Who killed Aniket?
You're here.
So, we'll find the killer as well.
What do you mean?
Are you suspecting me?
We didn't say that.
We only want to know about your and Aniket's argument.
Why did you hide it from us?
Sir, it was usual for me and Aniket to get into an argument.
There were creative differences between us.
Sir, it was a small argument. We later sorted it out.
So, then, tell me, why did you threaten him,
that you will kill him?
That…
She's stammering like a culprit.
That…
So Miss Mannat, tell us here why you killed Aniket,
or shall we take you to the bureau?
Yes, I killed Aniket.
Because two years ago…
'Right now'
How did all this happen?
Why have you gone quiet? Someone explain what happened.
In front of five CID officers,
a girl gets shot and none of you notice?
What were you all doing?
Why's everyone silent? Someone, say what happened.
The moment the shot was fired, we rushed to this window.
This is definitely a sharpshooter's work.
The bullet was fired from quite a distance.
Sir, Mannat killed Aniket, the motive's clear.
It's something from a case two years ago.
But why would someone hire a sharpshooter for Mannat?
What did she know?
If someone got her killed using a sharpshooter,
then someone else is behind this game.
And Mannat was just a pawn.
The moment her part was done, she was removed.
So she couldn't open her mouth in front of us.
There was a fight between
Mannat and Aniket earlier too, about that two-year-old case.
So were both murders linked to that old case
that Mannat knew about?
It could be.
Then we need to find out what this two-year-old case is.
Sir.
Sir, we've recovered the data from Aniket's 22a phone.
And we've found something very interesting.
Many people were interested in that old case.
- Really? - Yes, sir.
Mannat sent Aniket several threatening messages
telling him to drop the case.
And apart from Mannat, Aniket had many chats
with a man named Chandan about the same case.
In those messages, Aniket told Chandan
that if something happened to him,
Chandan knows what to do with the evidence on the hard disk.
That's not all, sir,
Aniket was getting a threatening voice messages from an unknown number.
I traced the number. It's registered with a fake ID.
Mannat's dead now,
and that number sending voice notes to Aniket is a dead end.
So Chandan is all that's left.
Chandan might be the key to solve this two-year-old mystery.
Purvi, find out about Chandan.
- Trace his mobile. - Yes, sir.
You all go and try to find Chandan.
Meanwhile, I'll finish something else.
The phone's location is showing inside.
Chandan must be hiding somewhere here.
Not here.
Check inside.
Search the whole room. We'll find a clue.
Even the memory card's missing.
- Hey! - Hey!
Get him.
- Bhoomi, are you alright? - Sir, the masked man…
The CID is after me.
They'll catch me.
'Head straight to Malad Tenement.'
'My people will save you.'
Where will he run now?
No one's ever escaped CID, you think you'll manage?
Why were you running so much?
When our officer Pankaj chases someone, even the wind stops.
- Right, Pankaj? - Thank you, sir.
Easy now.
Too much blood has already been spilt.
That masked man must have done this.
Chandan?
- Call an ambulance, quick. - Yes, sir.
Are you Chandan?
Yes, sir.
They killed Priya
and made it look like an accident.
Who did?
Priya's death wasn't an accident.
She was murdered.
Who killed Priya?
Chandan!
Chandan, who did it?
Priya just wanted to save those kids, sir.
Kids?
Take this off and show us that cute face of yours.
Come on, tell me your name.
And what were you doing at Chandan's house?
Sir, I'm just a petty thief.
Someone paid me.
I was told to bring an orange hard disk from Chandan's house.
Who paid you? Where were you meant to meet?
Sir, I…
Pankaj, check if anyone's nearby.
Check the terrace.
Which kids?
Chandan, what was that case from two years ago?
The orange hard disk.
- Locker. - Where's the locker?
At Aniket's office.
Aniket's office? Where exactly?
Where is Aniket's office?
Chandan?
Chandan!
Daya, Chandan…
He was the last link to that two-year-old case. He's gone too.
- That masked man's dead as well? - What?
He was shot.
I've no clue who it was.
Before dying, he mentioned something about an orange hard disk.
- Orange hard disk? - Yes.
Even Chandan mentioned the hard disk before he died.
He said
Priya was murdered.
Could the girl who was killed two years ago be Priya?
Sir, how do we solve this hard disk mystery now?
Chandan said the hard disk is in Aniket's office.
This mystery of the evidence disk
can only be solved there.
We'll have to search every corner of this office carefully.
This hard disk has cost five lives.
Aniket must have hidden it somewhere hard to find.
Search.
Pankaj!
Sir, look, something's fixed to the wall.
Sir, this locker's pretty advanced.
It only opens with a four-digit code.
If we enter the wrong code three times,
an acid bottle inside will shatter
and destroy everything in it.
The password might be his date of birth.
I found out that his date of birth is March 5, 1980.
Maybe.
There are eight digits in a date of birth,
and the code of this locker has only four digits.
Now, how do we find out which are those four digits?
Generally, one would use the first four digits or the last ones.
This means the date of birth, month, or birth year.
According to that, the code is either 0503
or it could also be 1980.
- Pankaj, try 0503. - Okay, sir.
Pankaj, try 1980 now.
Sir, this is also wrong.
If we do not enter the correct code now,
then the acid bottle kept inside will break.
Abhijeet, Aniket had a tattoo of 2301 on his hand.
2301?
- So, is this a code? - Maybe.
Oh, so this is the orange hard drive.
This true-crime podcaster has some story locked in here,
that got him murdered.
And therein lies the secret of this crime.
Hello. Yeah, okay.
I have to go.
Yes, Pankaj? What is in the hard disk?
Sir, the files on the hard drive are encrypted, so it's taking some time.
How could it take so much time?
You all have become lazy
and can't even open a hard disk.
It's done, sir. The file is opened.
Just see what is on this hard disk
causing so many murders.
There is a folder named Priya,
which contains some documents and an audio file.
What are these documents? Open it.
It contains Priya's FIR and details of some children.
Kids? Sir, are these the same kids
Priya was trying to save and Chandan was talking about?
Maybe.
Open this audio file.
'A few months ago, Chandan came to me'
'and told me about Priya's death.'
'Chandan told me about the Shishu NGO,'
'where Priya worked.'
'How every month,'
'some kids suddenly started disappearing from there.'
'Priya was apprehensive about these missing kids.'
'Then she told about this to one of her friends in the NGO.'
'Then Priya died after a few days.'
'I also felt strange hearing this,'
'and then I started investigating Priya's death.'
'Priya's death was not accidental'
'but she was murdered'
'to hide the truth of the child trafficking happening in the NGO.'
Child trafficking?
Sir, this means Aniket was helping Chandan
to expose illegal child trafficking by this NGO.
That's the reason behind Chandan's wife Priya's death.
Correct.
The further secret will be known only after going to that NGO.
You know what…
Bhoomi, Kritika, you both will go undercover in this NGO
and find out about this racket.
Is anyone here? Hello?
- Yeah… No, that's… - Hello, sir!
I'll call you later. Yes, what is it?
- Sir, this is Prerna. - And this is Neha.
We are medical students, and we want to do volunteer work in your NGO.
No, there is no need for volunteers right now.
Actually, we are about to get a job in a children's hospital,
but they have one condition
that we need experience in a children's NGO.
I said there is no requirement right now. Please leave!
Sir, just think how much help can we provide you
if we join your NGO.
We can do regular health monitoring and check-ups for all the kids.
And then if someone comes to take these children,
since their medical records will be there,
you will be the one to benefit, right?
Okay, fine. Do one thing.
Here, fill in the details and give it to me.
And start your job today itself.
And the children from our NGO stay here in the back.
You both can volunteer in the night shift.
Bear in mind,
kids should not face any kind of the problem.
- Yes, sir. - Go on, fill out the forms.
What is happening here?
Three people die in our custody
by consuming poison, and we don't even know.
Hold on. Purvi, what was the drug name that Dr Gargi told us?
- Sir, Neophyte. - Neophyte.
Neophyte?
I have heard this name somewhere.
Bhoomi ma'am!
Kritika, the door is locked.
Bhoomi ma'am, don't worry. I'm here, all right?
Just make sure no one sees us.
Easy, slowly.
Look, it's open.
If kids have gone missing from this NGO,
their information will be found here.
Kritika, you check the records on this computer.
I'll check the files.
Bhoomi ma'am!
Look at this, ma'am.
So this is the real truth of this NGO.
I remember where I heard that name.
Do you remember last month, we raided a medical factory
where fake medicines were manufactured?
The medicines seized there also contained Neophyte.
It has been seized
and kept in our evidence room.
Sir, thank God nothing happened to the evidence room in the blast.
Let's check there.
Yes, Doctor?
'Officer Sachin has regained consciousness, sir.'
Sachin is stable now.
What happened?
Why are you all quiet?
Uh… Sachin… He is stable now.
What is the update in the NGO case?
- Sir. - Sir, Aniket was right.
Children are being trafficked in the NGO.
As soon as a child goes missing, the NGO receives a huge donation.
That means Aniket, Chandan and Mannat
were killed so that they could not tell anything.
So, let's end this racket game.
Bhoomi, Kritika, you both prepare to raid the racket.
Hold… Hold on!
We're not going to raid the NGO.
What do you mean?
I will neither raid nor let anyone else do it.
So, would you mind telling me
why you won't do that?
Sir, there are many children in the NGO.
Their lives will be in danger.
These guys have killed five people.
They will not take even a second to take kids hostage and harm them.
Let's… Let's not raid there.
- Let's try something else. - Senior Inspector Abhijeet,
you are refusing to follow the orders of your senior officer.
You know the consequences of this, right?
So it will be better for you to follow the orders and raid.
Sorry, sir,
I will not obey your order.
You can do whatever you want. I don't care.
Those who trade in children
have only value and no love for them.
I… I can't put the kids' lives at risk, sir.
If you want to suspend me, go ahead, but
I will not let this raid happen.
All right. I'm sure you have some ideas other than this raid.
Do what you want to do, do however you want,
Tell us, Mr Sheikh, how can we serve you?
If you give me an all-rounder kid,
I will give 0.5 million Dirham to your shop.
Mr Sheikh, you have come to the right place. You'll have a child.
- Just… Form! - Yeah.
Here. Meanwhile, fill out this form.
I am giving you 0.5 lakh Dirham,
and you are giving me this? A form!
I'll tear it up!
I want a child in 2 days.
Mr Sheikh, it's difficult to get a child in 2 days.
Oh, Lord! Let's leave!
Mr Sheikh!
Hey, Mr Sheikh!
Mr Sheikh! Mr Sheikh, I can get you a child.
I will get you the kind of child you want, and that, too, tomorrow.
Your boss is refusing me.
So, how will you get me a child?
Oh, Mr Sheikh, don't worry.
Just bring the money to this address at 10:00.
You will get the child.
Sit.
- Pankaj. - Yes, sir.
Call Abhijeet and inform him that we have a lead.
Yes, sir.
Hello Mr Abhijeet, the suspect has strayed into our trap.
Sir, we've been provided an address.
The kids will be trafficked there tomorrow.
Alright.
All of you have to keep to your toes.
You could all be under surveillance.
Where did my bodyguard go?
You know very well that I don't even visit the loo without a bodyguard.
Your bodyguard is stationed right outside the loo, Sheikh.
Welcome, Sheikh.
You'd find here just the kind of child you're looking for.
Please meet Mr Sanjeev, the owner of our NGO.
Please meet the Sheikh, Mr Sanjeev.
Come. Please be seated.
Let's begin the auction.
Abhijeet, we're not the sole bidders at this auction,
there are several others too.
Sir.
Nobody came to know about this, yet.
Whoever did was purged.
I hope that in the pursuit of closing this case,
we don't get purged either.
Pankaj, nothing of that sort would happen.
Daya, just as the auction begins,
- we'd apprehend them red-handedly. - Okay.
Here's the first girl. Age is six. Height is three feet seven inches.
She's wheatish-complexioned, and a fantastic dancer.
Here's the second girl. Age is four.
Height is three feet two inches. She's fair-complexioned
and a wonderful painter.
Abhijeet, the kids are nowhere to be seen.
They're merely showing the kids' pictures on the projector.
Daya, if they're trading the kids today,
then the kids must be present there.
Let me check it out.
Pankaj, manage the situation.
I'll try to look for the kids.
Abhijeet,
Four armed guards have been stationed at the auction venue.
Two on either side of the stage.
- Stay alert. - Alright.
I couldn't find the kids here.
Let me check upstairs. Alright?
Sheikh, he's the kind of kid you're looking for an all-rounder.
Papers are being distributed to everyone now.
After having seen the slide show,
please mark your preference
for your favourite candidate along with the bid amount.
Please be diligent.
The demand vastly outnumbers the supply.
Hence, be munificent while bidding,
lest you lose the bid for the child.
Shh! Please keep quiet. Don't make any noise.
Nothing will happen.
Abhijeet, a few kids have been found in a secret vault.
Come upstairs, quickly.
Pankaj and Purvi, be ready. We're coming upstairs.
Kids, please look towards the other way.
I'm about to do something now.
You can turn back around, kids.
Come on, let's slowly walk downstairs.
Quickly! This way.
Sorry to interrupt,
but this auction ends now.
Come on, arrest everyone.
Hey!
Hey, where are you trying to escape?
Sir, actually…
What is it?
Nobody can mess with the lives of children in the presence of CID.
Yes. I indeed sent my men
two years ago, to assassinate Priya.
Besides, Aniket was murdered by Mannat at my behest.
Because they had come to know about child trafficking.
I had sent several voice notes
to intimidate them into submission.
But, they did not relent. Hence…
I got them killed.
You also got Mannat killed
to prevent her from snitching to us
about the kingpin of this macabre.
Mannat had started to get greedy.
She started blackmailing me
of snitching to CID about everything.
Thus, I hired a sharpshooter and killed her.
Not just Mannat, you also got Chandan killed
in the hands of that veiled thief. Didn't you?
I had asked the veiled thief to fetch the orange hard disk.
I don't know how he and Chandan got embroiled in a brawl,
and he killed Chandan.
Thereafter, you got the thief killed too
so that he couldn't snitch anything about you to us. Isn't it?
Kids are as sensitive as a flower.
You were running a lucrative trade of child trafficking.
Shame on you!
You'll languish behind the bars for the rest of your life.
Who amongst us was in cahoots with Barbosa
shall also be revealed in the evidence room.
A vial is missing.
Neophyte. It is missing.
How could it be?
That too from the evidence room.
Only we have access to the evidence room.
Sachin is admitted to the hospital.
Avni is sick too.
The evidence is mysteriously disappearing from within.
There's one person besides us, Abhijeet,
who can access this room.
