Sir, do you need any help?
Rahul.
Get the evidence box
of Inspector Pranali's murder case.
We need to check it.
Tomorrow is the court hearing.
But, sir, we need permission for that in writing.
I don't have that much time. Or I wouldn't have come.
Got it? Hurry up.
Sir.
-What? -Okay, sir.
Sir.
Here you go, sir.
Do one thing. Record it in the register.
-I will check it and sign it. Okay? -Okay, sir.
Thanks, Rahul.
Sir.
You are forgetting something.
What?
The keys to your car.
Yes, okay.
You know, in Hyderabad, a man was given
a surprise party by his family.
As soon as he entered,
the balloons burst.
That man had a heart attack.
I hope Saleel's heart is not so weak.
Twinkle, are you okay?
This one is special.
I will just come.
Hey.
Anuj, what are you doing?
You are a guest. I didn't invite you to cook.
What can I do?
My hands start working when I see a knife.
Wow.
Anil.
-Yes, sir. -Here are the keys
and chocolates.
Today is my birthday.
Happy birthday, Saleel sir.
Mr. Saleel is coming upstairs.
Saleel!
Abhijeet,
when Saleel entered the house, the lights were off.
When the lights came on, the knife was
in Saleel's chest.
Sir, between the door opening
and the lights turning on,
there were only six to seven seconds.
That means, in six to seven seconds
someone killed Saleel.
But maybe someone killed him
-before the door opened. -Sir!
Sir, I have checked the CCTV footage.
Saleel was behaving normally.
I asked the watchman. He said he was fine
until he came to the door. Nothing had happened to him.
I think the person who killed him
is inside
the house.
He is inside the house.
He is one of them.
Sir,
one more thing.
The knife hit in just the right place.
Look at this.
Without harming the surrounding muscles,
it went straight into the heart.
Whoever killed him knew how to use the knife
and from which angle to kill.
It's professional work.
Sir, the man in the maroon jacket
is an orthopaedic surgeon, Balbir.
Sir, the man standing in the back, on the left, is Anuj.
He is a professional chef.
He is well acquainted with a knife.
Sir, this knife
looks normal. It doesn't look like a professional knife.
It looks like it is used in homes.
Ankita,
is this knife…
yours? I mean, is it from your house?
Yes,
it is from our kitchen.
Saleel and I went to Japan on our honeymoon.
We got this set from there.
How did this knife get here from the kitchen, Ankita?
I don't know.
It's an open kitchen.
Everyone was going for ice and drinks.
-Sir. -Yes?
Sir, one knife is missing
from this knife set.
-Sir. -Yes?
Sir, this was found near Saleel's body. A necklace.
"A" letter pendant.
Whose necklace could this be?
Is it possible
that Saleel pulled the necklace
from the murderer's neck
and dropped
it here?
There is only one person here
by this name, sir.
Ankita,
is this chain
yours?
No.
It's not mine.
So, Abhijeet,
whose necklace could this be?
-Sir. -Yes?
Sir, no one has bloodstains on their hands.
It's clean.
Did someone stab
Saleel with gloves?
Or…
did someone come from outside,
kill him and run away?
As far as
this "A" pendant is concerned,
whose necklace could this be?
On which floor does this man live?
303, on the third floor.
303.
Does anyone else live with him?
No one. He lives alone.
My next target is Inspector Milind.
I don't know, sir.
I met them for the first time today.
What?
Ankita.
You met them for the first time?
Ankita, you arranged
this birthday party.
And then all these people came
because you invited them.
I understand what you're trying to say, sir.
But Saleel and I moved to Mumbai only three months ago.
Everyone was new to me after we got married.
So,
I had no idea who to invite to the party.
Then I saw Saleel's call log.
When I saw his favorites list,
I saw Mumbai in front of their names.
I invited them to the party
because I thought they were Saleel's close friends.
They weren't close, ma'am.
He met them for a business deal.
Six months ago.
He wanted to give
a catering order to our restaurant.
What's there to be nervous about?
I'm not nervous, sir.
People die in the hospital every day.
But I saw a murder for the first time.
And that of a family member.
-Family member? -Yes.
Saleel's father and my father were cousins.
But we didn't meet often.
I came here
to respect my family's relationship.
What's about respect, ma'am?
If you give me respect, I'll respect you.
Otherwise, I was born with an attitude.
What's your name?
You did ask me when you came here.
Do parents name their children Dodo?
What's your real name?
Damodar.
But you see, Dodo sounds a bit cool.
My dad is a politician.
So, I have to hide my real ID.
Twinkle, no one hides anything from us.
So, it would be better if you told us the truth.
How do you know Saleel?
Well…
I met him at the fundraiser event.
He gave a big donation to the orphans.
After that, I spoke to him over the phone several times.
We weren't good friends that talked over the phone.
One day, we met at his favorite pub.
He was also interested in watching cricket, just like me.
So, we had a few drinks and snacks together.
We watched a match together. That's it.
Virat,
you know Saleel's favorite pub
and his favorite game. And yet
you say that
you weren't a good friend of Saleel.
That's strange, sir.
Friends are formed when they have things in common.
Everyone is different here.
Dodo keeps partying all day.
And Twinkle runs an NGO.
And Anuj
is always busy in his restaurant.
Virat doesn't have time except for cricket.
Sir, it seems like everyone met Saleel in different ways.
Is it possible
that they are hiding something?
Or…
was Saleel the one who was hiding something?
Sir, Ankita was right.
Saleel had saved those guests' names in his favorite call log list.
Did he have any texts with any of them?
Yes, sir.
Saleel had messaged them.
But he deleted all the texts later.
He deleted all the texts?
What could have happened
that he had to delete the texts?
-Avni, do one thing. -Yes, sir.
Can you recover the texts?
CID.
What happened, sir?
I want to check your truck.
Shut the truck down.
Sir, I'm not carrying a treasure of the Nawab.
There is garbage in it. What will you check?
Did you hear what I said?
Shut the truck down!
Can I help you, sir?
Go and sit in the driver's seat. Come on.
This is a garbage bag 303.
Sir, I didn't find any fingerprints
on the knife that killed Saleel.
But, sir, in that house
I found a fingerprint on the knife of someone
who was in that house.
These are Anuj's fingerprints. We know that.
Tell me if you've found anything else.
Yes, sir.
Sir, I've found something special on this murder weapon.
-What? -Cosmetic powder.
-Oud. -Oud?
-Oud. -That's a perfume, right?
Yes, Purvi. Technically, it's a powder-based fragrance.
It's easily available in many luxury stores in the Middle East.
-It's quite expensive. -Yes, sir.
I've found traces of this oud
on Dodo's fingerprints as well.
Dodo must've applied this perfume.
So,
is Dodo capable of murder?
Tarika, the "A" necklace which we found
near Saleel's body,
did you find out anything about it?
Sir, not yet.
The skin cells on it have been taken for DNA testing.
We'll find out as soon as we get the report.
-Anything else? -Yes, sir.
The muscle-relaxing tablets that we found
on Saleel's bedside table,
which reduces the reaction time of the body,
those same tablets
were brought to Saleel by Balbir,
the surgeon who came to the party, as a gift.
Look at this gift box.
Balbir gifted medicines to Saleel?
Sir, it could be possible that, before he entered the house,
Saleel took the medicine.
That means Balbir knew
that Saleel would take the tablets before he entered the house.
Of course he did.
Dr. Tarika.
-Did you find traces in Saleel's body? -No, sir.
We found no traces of medicine in his body.
If he took the medicines,
by the time of the post-mortem,
the particles would be dissolved in the body.
Sir, other than this,
I feel that this case
has something I can't figure out.
I'm missing something.
Saleel's case has six suspects.
All six of them
have their secrets.
We haven't figured it out.
What are you doing? You scared me!
I was scared too.
Sir, she has found something. That's why she screamed.
Sir, I've hacked into Saleel's laptop.
What?
Sir! Saleel's employees would say he is a genius.
A coding expert.
Hacking systems.
He knew how to unlock encrypted data.
You hacked into his laptop?
-Wow! -It was tough.
Saleel's laptop has an encrypted folder called "MakeMeHappy".
It was protected by a multi-layer password system.
The system would create a new password every time I tried to get in.
Excellent, Avni, but tell us what you found.
Look, this folder has all these files.
This is the first file on Anuj.
These are some pictures.
Where Anuj is with another woman in his car.
This is another file on Balbir.
These are two FIR copies against Balbir.
A patient died due to an error made by him
on the operating table.
The third file belongs to Dodo.
Dodo's lab reports.
Every drug has been detected in his body.
Sir, this fourth file belongs to Twinkle.
These are a few selfies.
There is another one in handcuffs.
She was arrested before.
This is the last file on Ankita.
Ankita enters a hotel room.
Shortly after that,
a man was seen coming out,
who doesn't look like her husband, Saleel.
So, Saleel was gathering everyone's secrets?
Is that how a friend behaves?
-Yuck! -Pankaj.
If he were a friend,
then he wouldn't have been killed
with everyone present.
I'm pretty sure he was blackmailing them.
He was a master hacker.
Their phones, emails, and cloud storage, and even…
the hotel's CCTV footage, he must've hacked everything.
And, sir, maybe that's why Saleel deleted the texts.
To hide the evidence.
About the texts that have been deleted,
let's find out from them.
Pankaj, bring everyone here.
Yes, sir.
Saleel used to blackmail me.
He had Zara's and my photographs.
Who is Zara?
Sir, she used to manage
guests at my restaurants.
It's… Saleel threatened me
that he'd collate our intimate photos
and send them to food bloggers
and to my father-in-law.
Sir, my father-in-law owns the restaurant.
My career would've been ruined, sir.
My career would've been ruined.
So you thought
of not letting the matter go there.
"Let me kill Saleel."
My dad's entire political career was at stake, madam.
Saleel had sent me a video
where I was seen vomiting due to a drug overdose.
And that lab report,
I don't know how he got hold of all that.
If all that saw the light of day,
then my dad would never be able to compete again.
So, yes,
I felt like dealing with Saleel for good.
But I don't have the courage to kill someone.
Saleel was blackmailing you,
but you still attended his party.
Why?
I thought
that he'd called us to discuss a final settlement.
The matter's eight years old.
It was an accident, not a murder.
My friends and I were playing a game,
and suddenly, a girl fell off the building.
I was innocent.
When juvenile records
were sealed,
how did Saleel get hold of them?
I'm getting married soon.
And Saleel was threatening me that
he will tell everything to my fiancé.
Sir, I'm innocent.
Promises won't let a killer go free.
Only evidence matters here.
Got it, Mr. Virat?
Then bring the evidence.
When did I object to it?
I attended the party because Saleel texted me the day before
that he wished to discuss something personal.
And when his wife, Ankita, invited me to the party,
I thought he wanted to speak to me at the party.
If all was sunny and well,
then…
how did he get killed?
I can tell you only if I know. Right, sir?
I'm a party planner.
And he's the hotel manager.
I went there regularly
for meetings.
If Saleel had just asked me, I would've told him.
Anuj's motive is strong.
If the truth gets out, his career
will be ruined.
Sir, Twinkle's already connected to a murder.
She wouldn't think twice before committing another crime.
Sir, it's possible that Dodo did this.
Sir, we don't know what Virat was being blackmailed for.
It's also possible
that he thought that prevention is better than a cure.
And, sir, what about Ankita?
-Find every last detail about all of them. -Sir.
Balbir's left.
Balbir hasn't come.
Sir, he's out on bail to undergo an important surgery.
But Mr. Abhijeet has gone to the hospital to meet him.
I won't spare you!
As if we will spare you!
We have the evidence.
What's going on?
-Who are you? -CID.
Great. Arrest this thief, sir.
-I'm not a thief. -Just a minute.
What-- What did he do?
Sir, he stole expensive medication
and injections from the hospital stock.
We have the evidence. Have a look, sir.
What's all this, Mr. Balbir?
My hands were tied, sir.
Saleel used to blackmail me.
A patient died during surgery
because of my mistake.
We had hidden everything from the media,
but I don't know how
Saleel got hold of the evidence.
Sir, had he exposed me,
then my license would've been cancelled.
Sir, that's why,
to shut him up,
I had to steal medication from the hospital.
And then you killed Saleel.
First, you gave him a muscle relaxant,
and then you stabbed him in the chest.
No! No, no, sir!
I-- I'm a doctor, sir.
And Saleel was suffering from muscle spasms.
Saleel used to request the medication, sir.
And about stabbing him, sir,
taking a life doesn't require skill
but passion.
Sir, there were five others at the party.
Who knows
if their circumstances were way worse than mine?
Sir.
Yes, Purvi?
Sir, Arpita had three husbands, not one.
Saleel was her third husband.
-Third husband? -Yes, sir.
Her first husband, Rohan, told us that Ankita only loved money.
That's why she ditched him for some college lover.
Then she left him, too,
and married Saleel.
-What if this is about property? -I don't know.
But, sir, Rohan said that Ankita is hot-headed,
that she was capable of going to any extent in anger,
but she can't kill someone.
Just a minute. You said Rohan is her first husband,
and Saleel's the third.
Then who's her second husband?
I don't know.
Sir, even Rohan doesn't know.
Nothing makes any sense.
takes a step forward and two steps back.
We need to rewind this picture.
Purvi, let's say you are Virat.
Stand where he stood.
-Sir. -Yes.
Sir, over here. By the dining table.
-Abhijeet. -Sir.
You are Saleel.
Go outside the door.
Sir.
When I ask you to enter,
-come inside. -Sir.
Abhijeet, enter.
Virat can't be the killer.
He didn't even get to his spot.
You will be Anuj.
All right. Go.
Abhijeet, enter.
Anuj!
Anuj can't be the killer.
He hasn't reached his spot.
Where he stood,
Purvi, you are Balbir.
Stop!
No, Balbir isn't the killer.
Pankaj, you are Ankita.
Ankita isn't the killer.
I'll be Dodo. I'm standing here.
Stop.
Dodo isn't the killer.
-That leaves Twinkle. -Avni,
you are Twinkle.
Abhijeet, enter!
My God! Twinkle is the killer.
Sir, on her neck,
Twinkle was looking for something. Or trying to hide something.
That necklace, Abhijeet!
The "A" pendant.
Sir, you're hunch was right.
The skin cells on the locket
matches Twinkle's DNA.
Sir, then Twinkle,
why would Twinkle wear a locket with the letter A?
It may be a pet name?
Or a man who is special in her life?
Sir, your theories can be right.
But our lab
evidence points to the fact that
Saleel, before he was stabbed,
had died.
Dead before he was stabbed?
-Are you sure, Dr. Tarika? -Yes, sir.
That is why, after the stabbing,
he bled very little.
Because his heart
had already stopped.
-He died of a heart attack? -No.
-Poisoning? -That's what I thought, too.
But Saleel's body has no traces of poison.
Later on, I did some deep tests
on natural toxins.
I found this.
-NTX. Netrodotoxin. -What is that?
Purvi, it is a kind of poison,
but it comes from a specific fish.
The puffer fish.
Puffer fish?
-Fugu? -Exactly, Pankaj!
Fugu.
This Fugu toxin,
when consumed by a human,
will shut down the entire nervous system.
The result is death in an hour.
There is no cure.
Sir, that's why puffer fish venom
didn't even show up on the toxicology screen.
That's why it didn't come up in the initial post-mortem report, either.
This fish is scarce.
People are not allowed to keep them.
There are very few Japanese chefs with licenses
allowed to keep them.
Abhijeet,
Tokyo Tamari.
Japanese Restaurant. Anuj.
This puffer fish,
must be served at the Tokyo Tamari restaurant.
Sir, we need to find out
how this venom entered
Saleel's body, and who did it.
Saleel's office had a cake delivered.
There was a Bento box as well.
What's a bento box?
Ever had a thali?
Thalis are my favorite.
-So many varieties. -Pankaj!
A bento box is like a mini thali.
But it's Japanese.
This bento box,
when did Salil have it?
Sir, during lunchtime, Around 12:30.
It can't have the venom.
Dr. Tarika said the venom works in an hour.
The poison venom takes an hour and Salil's death
occurred at seven.
That means, if Salil ate something,
it was around six.
Did he cut a cake at work?
Yes, there was a cake cutting ceremony.
Around five, he left for work.
Salil left work at five and reached home at seven.
Between five and seven,
where was Salil?
The GPS on his car shows two locations.
One was his house and the other was Tokyo Tamari.
He was here for money.
I don't let him eat at this restaurant.
As far as the venom is concerned,
I can't give it to him even if I wished.
I can't put my restaurant at stake.
You mentioned another location.
A pub.
Dark Horse pub.
What you are doing for me,
can't be done by anyone else.
Shreya, what I did was for your sake.
This is just the start.
I will end this.
You are doing all of this for me
because we…
Sir…
talk to me.
Shreya,
I couldn't keep my promise.
I will pay for this for the rest of my life.
I couldn't protect your daughter.
Sir, my daughter is safe now,
and it's all because of you people.
Sir, we have pending work.
Did you find that inspector?
Inspector Milind. I have found him.
He's moving to Goa.
To Goa.
We have found the location of a place from his phone.
KD Farmhouse.
-Yes, sir. -Yeah.
Please check this photo.
Does this man come here?
Yes sir. It's his favorite place.
He regularly sits on that chair.
I don't know why he didn't come today.
At what time does he come here?
At exactly a quarter past five.
He then drinks a beer.
Then he leaves at six.
Some people are so punctual.
He's one of them.
Does everything on time.
Did he come here alone?
Nothing fixed. He came with different people.
Maybe Virat came here
to meet Saleel.
But Virat denied meeting Saleel.
He might be lying.
Maybe he came here
and mixed the poison in Saleel's drink.
Sir, you must stay alert.
It might be a conspiracy by Milind
-to trap you. -Doesn't seem so.
He left in a hurry and he looked fearful.
Then you should finish this work as soon as possible.
A fearful person can be dangerous.
Okay.
Daya.
What? What's he doing here?
Daya.
Sir.
What're you doing here?
I was here to meet an informer.
-And? -What, bro?
I thought you were in the pub
with someone special.
Here also, informer only.
-Hey! -You have become a boring person.
You know about a fate of a CID officer.
We're not that fortunate.
You're saying that we're just chilling.
Now you've brought me to a pub.
Yes, because we need to find
Saleel's killer while chilling.
What do you mean?
This means Saleel's death
occurred due to poison.
He was given the poison one hour before reaching his home.
One hour before, he was here…
in this pub.
Poison?
That means he didn't die due to the knife stabbing.
And who
gave him poison here?
Oh! You can ask this thing
to him.
-Am I right, Virat? -What?
Why me?
The bartender has recognized you, get it?
You were here with Saleel
that evening.
We just had a beer together,
but that doesn't mean I poisoned him.
And I didn't come here by choice.
Saleel called me here.
We know that.
He called you here to talk about your ex-wife.
Am I right, Ms. Ankita?
Don't be so surprised, Ms. Ankita.
We did research at your college and found the truth.
In the college,
Virat was your boyfriend
and now he's your second husband.
The man coming out of the hotel room was not a manager,
it was Virat.
So what?
This doesn't prove that we poisoned him.
Our love was quite old.
Those feelings developed again.
Why are you trying to find a murder angle in this?
Oh, yes. You're right.
But what to do? It's our habit.
We need to work
till the killer has been found.
-Sir. -Yes.
-What happened? -Pankaj?
-Pankaj. -Call the ambulance, fast.
All in vain, sir. He's no more.
-Pankaj. -Pankaj.
Pankaj.
-Did he eat anything before this? -Sir.
I don't know, sir.
Yes, he drank water from Saleel's bottle
in the car.
But, where're we going?
Just chill, Ms. Ankita.
We're just chilling.
We'll go to Saleel's office,
then the pub,
and then to your home.
-Oh! -What is this timer for?
I've set an alarm to drink water.
I drink very little water.
The doctor has asked me to drink eight glasses a day.
I forgot the bottle at the bureau. Do you've one?
No.
There's a bottle. Give it to me.
Wait, I will stop here.
Take this.
It's strawberry flavored water. Yum!
-Pankaj. -Poison in Saleel's bottle?
Pankaj.
If I found out that
you mixed poison in Saleel's water,
I will make sure you hang till death.
A CID officer has died. We won't spare you.
I didn't tell him to drink that water.
He drank the water before I could stop him.
Pay condolences for Saleel's death.
Don't worry.
We replaced that bottle with a new one
before getting in the car.
Saleel set an alarm on his phone
to get reminders for drinking water.
You took advantage of that habit.
Yes.
One alarm was set at six in his phone.
When he was talking with Virat in the pub,
I took the car's second key and went outside.
Then I poisoned his water
and reached home before the guests arrived.
What about the Fugu fish poison?
Did Virat
gave it to you?
No.
I told you that I went to Japan with Saleel.
I got it from a restaurant during that visit.
Then I stored it in the freezer
and waited for the right opportunity.
And what was that
right opportunity?
When Saleel added my name
as a nominee in his will.
You had a solid plan, right?
You calculated Saleel's time of death.
That's why you arranged that party so that he dies in front of guests
and those whom he was blackmailing
became suspects.
Yes, because I knew that
Saleel was blackmailing those people.
Such a big plan!
She also trapped me in her plan.
She had already poisoned him, yet asked me to stab him.
Everything is fair in love and war, baby.
And you love me, right?
Then can't you take the blame of this murder for me?
Did you hear that, Mr. Virat?
Not only you,
I gave everyone an equal chance to become a murderer.
I used Akanksha's necklace, aka Twinkle.
I applied perfume to Dodo's shirt.
I tried to trap Anuj using his Japanese restaurant.
Balbir, being a surgeon, everything was perfect, but…
But your greed, Ms. Ankita.
Greed makes a criminal blind
and he leaves evidence
for his crime and doesn't even realize it.
You will be behind bars for years.
Keep thinking
about what you gained or lost
from this murder.
Take them away. .
