Sir, the one who'll win is Dr Salunkhe.
Sir, have you ever lost a chess game?
But who are you competing with?
Dr Salunkhe, you know
these pawns talk to ACP sir.
They tell him the next move.
Sir.
Dr Salunkhe's pawns talk through gestures.
Come on, you're taking too long.
This is a chess game.
-I'm getting sleepy watching your game. -Come on!
-Let's see whose magic works today. -Yes.
Both are chess masters.
Whoever wins,
we care about the party.
The loser will throw the party, right?
Dr Salunkhe, are you ready? You'll have to throw the party.
-One minute. -Sir, wait. Please don't disturb.
Sir, please focus.
Check!
Checkmate!
What are they saying?
-I get bored playing with kids. -Kids?
-Huh! -I taught you chess.
Come on! Make your move.
Sir, party. Will you give the party?
Wait. Why the rush?
The game isn't over yet.
We've been watching for years.
ACP Sir's last move is fantastic.
-Check. -Mate.
Wait. The game isn't over yet.
Sir played it so easily.
Big talks!
Which restaurant
-should I book? -Wait. The game isn't over yet.
Hello?
Yes.
Oh!
Okay, we're coming.
-Sir? -Yes.
I think we'll have to leave this game.
-Why? -Someone left
a case for us.
It was Sachin's call. A murder took place last night.
-Yes, Sachin. Where's the body? -It's upstairs.
-Take him up. -Come, Purvi.
The victim's name is Surya.
He was a popular novelist.
All his books were bestsellers.
The writer of 'Pyar Ka Imtehaan'
-and 'Bewafa Hum Aur Bewafa Tum'? -Yes, sir.
Hey.
Since when did you start reading romantic novels? Are you okay?
We're always surrounded by dead bodies.
Romantic novels make me feel better.
-Yes. -And the writer's good.
Sachin, what happened here?
Sir, do you see this girl?
Her name's Stuti.
She's Surya's fianc*e.
They went for a walk every morning.
But today, when she came to pick him up,
she went upstairs to the study and found his body lying there.
Let's go and see.
Stuti.
Stuti, how did you get inside?
Do you have the keys?
No, sir.
The door was open,
so I came straight in.
I come here every morning.
Then we went jogging together.
When did you
last meet Surya?
We had dinner last night.
Then he dropped me off at home.
He said he had to work on the next novel.
He mostly stayed alone at night.
He used to write at night.
This was his routine.
I don't know how this happened.
Let's see what Dr Salunkhe found.
You stay here.
We'll meet you in a while.
Doctor, did the body say anything?
Boss, he died about 10 hours ago.
Almost 10 hours?
His fianc*e came this morning.
That means someone came at night and…
But there's no sign of forced entry.
And nothing valuable
was damaged.
One thing's for sure, there doesn't seem to have been any struggle here.
Doctor, the chair has fallen.
The chair has fallen.
That means
he must have been sitting there. For some reason,
he fell. That's when he died.
But there's no injury to the body.
Was the death
natural or…
Daya, I can't say for sure. But one thing's clear.
He didn't die of a heart attack.
There's no bulging in the artery.
No sign of aneurysm.
In an aneurysm,
the heart's arteries
burst like a balloon.
Which are at risk of bursting.
But there's no such sign here.
But there's one thing.
There's a strange expression on his face.
His face says something unusual.
A special look at a dead man's face? I don't understand.
I mean
he must have been in a lot of pain while dying. Severe pain.
Doctor, there must be pain
while dying, right?
No, Abhijeet. That's not it.
This is something else.
Something very strange.
Sir, could he have been poisoned?
Only the autopsy will tell.
There's…
a burning smell, right?
Yes, I can smell it.
The paper's been burnt.
Three bodies were found in seven days.
What's going on?
Is it a story or a script?
It says three bodies were found in seven days.
There's no sign of injury
or struggle.
There's no guarantee
it was a heart attack.
Surya
was a romantic novelist.
When did he get into murder mysteries?
Three bodies in seven days?
According to this story,
this is the first body. Two more are yet to be found.
It's said that stories become reality.
And some
-are true. -Do one thing.
Take his body to the forensic lab.
Okay. Meanwhile, let's talk to Stuti.
Only she can tell us
what novel Surya was working on.
Okay.
Surya Kumar's diary.
Check it.
Stuti.
Was…
Surya writing a murder mystery?
Did he tell you anything?
No. He only said
he had to work on his next novel.
He didn't talk to anyone
about his novel.
We found some papers here. It looks like
he was writing a murder mystery.
Sir, only his editor would know all this.
He was very secretive about his work.
He only discussed such things with him.
What's his name?
His name is…
Rastogi.
Yes, his name is Rastogi.
By the way, Surya's writings are also saved in his laptop.
I never checked, but…
No, the laptop's password-protected.
Do you know the password?
No, sir.
He stayed alone in his study.
I see.
Okay, give me your number and address.
Okay, sir.
Abhijeet, he's a writer.
We'll surely find a clue on his laptop.
Let's try unlocking it with our cyber expert.
We'll also ask his publishers and editor.
Surya came home after dinner last night.
And this morning, his fianc*e came.
That means someone came here in between.
But who?
Purvi, check the CCTV footage.
Also, verify Stuti's statement.
Sachin, check the books we found upstairs.
There are many secrets in a writer's life.
We will have to open all the pages
of this writer's life.
There must be a mention of the person
who killed him.
Purvi, Stuti's alibi was that she was at home.
-Is it correct? -Yes, sir.
She was home with her family.
We also checked her society's CCTV.
-She left in the morning. -Okay.
Sir.
Yes, Sachin.
Sir.
The publisher says he knows nothing
about Surya's upcoming novel.
Because Surya never revealed his stories to anyone.
What kind of story was it? Romantic or mysterious?
Sir, the publisher's contract was for a romantic novel.
-Okay. -"Main Bewafa Tu Bewafa Hai", sir.
The sequel was being made.
The publisher had already paid him in advance.
But Surya
missed the deadline twice.
So, the publisher said that if the deadline was missed this time,
he would take the money back and cancel the contract.
Everything about Surya was a secret.
It seems so, sir.
But our cyber team cracked
his laptop password, sir.
So, did you find anything?
Sir, numerous files have been attempted to be erased from it.
Like those burnt papers.
A lot of files have been deleted, sir.
What kind of files were deleted?
Sir, it looks like
he was researching crime.
Especially a triple murder case from ten years ago
that's still unsolved.
The case from ten years ago.
-Three dead bodies in seven days? -Yes, sir.
Three bodies were found near Thane
within a week.
A 30-year-old bus conductor's body
was found in the bus.
A college student's body was found
in a public park. And a shopkeeper's body
was found in his house.
But there was one strange similarity.
There were no injuries on their bodies.
No trauma.
But the autopsy revealed something strange. Very shocking.
-What? -Sir, their organs
had exploded inside.
Sir, look at this. Articles from ten years ago.
Look, sir.
Nothing seems special. But the organs
were completely damaged from the inside.
The one who did the post-mortem found nothing.
Neither did he find any connection in this case.
The police found no leads, sir.
After that, this case was closed.
It's been unsolved since then.
So, we will solve this 10-year-old
unsolved mystery.
Yes, Salunkhe.
Come in, boss. I was waiting for you.
-Did the body reveal its secrets? -What kind of body
hides its secrets from Salunkhe?
But yes, there's one thing.
You'll be shocked to know how he died.
He died because his organs exploded, right?
His stomach and lungs exploded, right?
Hello? Thank you very much.
I'm leaving. I don't need to be here. I'm retiring.
-You're there, right? -Hey! Wait a while.
-At least till this case is solved. -Just this case?
-Yes, you can retire later. -What do you mean, later?
Salunkhe, will we manage without you?
That's the spirit!
You get angry very fast.
He was a writer. A novelist.
He was researching the three murders from ten years ago.
Those three deaths were caused
by internal organs exploding.
And sadly,
this poor writer,
who was researching those murders,
also died
because his organs exploded.
Why or how, we don't know.
But the thing is, there are four bodies
and the modus operandi is the same.
So, you can see. It's a question of your reputation.
What do you mean by question of reputation?
It's a challenge.
-Can you do it? -One minute.
Don't doubt me. Are you challenging me?
-But you lost in chess. -One minute.
I'm not losing in chess. I'm not losing in chess, right?
The game of chess is still on.
-Did you change your stand? -I didn't change.
She was with me from the beginning.
Okay, tell me.
I'll tell you what I've found. Come.
This is the scan of the writer's internal organs.
By magnifying it, we can see frost fissures.
But it's not hypothermia.
That makes the body temperature
gradually decrease and the person dies.
I've checked the tissues
of his organs under the microscope.
They've completely frozen.
This is called flash freezing.
I think
he inhaled some cryogenic chemical.
That caused his body temperature to drop suddenly, and he died.
Boss, we found his body after 10 hours.
By then, his organs were thawed and soft.
This cryogenic chemical was given to him
through a mask or a nozzle.
Which cryogen was it?
Boss, this is liquid nitrogen.
Liquid nitrogen?
The boiling temperature of liquid nitrogen is very low.
Yes, it is.
It's minus 196 degrees.
Now think.
He inhaled liquid nitrogen
and all his organs froze.
Then the killer used a CPR-like technique
that put pressure on his chest.
The frozen organs
shattered like glass.
Looking at his body, we'd never know
he suffered such a shock.
You're amazing, Salunkhe.
You turned the killer's game around.
Sir, ten years ago, there were three cases.
And now this one.
The modus operandi is the same in all four.
Could it be that the serial killer has resurfaced?
Or maybe he found out Surya
was working on those three cases and was trying to reach him?
That's why he killed him to silence him.
But where did he get
liquid nitrogen, sir?
Abhijeet,
there's no ban on liquid nitrogen.
It can be found anywhere. In an industry,
in a school, in a medical college,
in a hotel, anywhere.
Did you check the CCTV around Surya's house?
Did anyone come to meet him?
Sir, we didn't find anything in the CCTV footage.
Yes.
There are no signs of struggle on Surya's body.
So, if someone came,
it must be someone he knew.
Not a stranger.
Where did he come from?
When did he come? Why did he come?
What could be the reason?
What could be the motive?
Surely,
the killer's motive
was to kill Surya.
Because Surya
was about to solve those three murders
from ten years ago.
He was about to solve it.
Who is that killer?
We'll have to uncover his past.
And we will also have to meet the families
of those victims
from ten years ago.
It's been ten years,
but even today
that day hasn't left my eyes.
My brother Manoj was very sociable.
He used to go to the garden with his friends
after dinner every night.
He used to pass the time.
They used to play a game. What was it called?
Battle Kings.
That was the only thing we couldn't stop him from doing.
How were your brother's friends?
I mean, drunkenness,
-gambling habits? -No.
All his friends were from good families.
I used to scold him every night.
Don't come home so late.
I used to open the door.
But he
would just laugh and brush off the matter,
but that day
I dozed off
and he didn't come home at all.
When I woke up in the morning, I saw…
everyone asking each other, where Manoj was.
I was very worried, so I went outside
to search for my brother. First,
I asked his friends,
and when I went to the garden, I saw that
he was lying there dead.
Did he have any enmity
with someone, or some affair with a girl?
No.
All of them were his friends.
There wasn't any affair with a girl,
nor was there any enmity
with the neighbours.
Whenever I think of him,
I always wonder
why such a thing happened only to my brother.
Please look at this photo.
Do you know these two?
Have you seen them anywhere or
did they have any connection with your brother?
No.
Who are they?
I'm seeing them for the first time.
What happened to them?
Could it be that they also met with an accident..
Ten years have passed, sir.
Even today, I blame myself
for leaving him alone.
When this incident happened,
where were you?
There was a wedding, sir
my aunt's son's wedding.
My husband didn't want to close the shop and attend the wedding.
So he told me to attend.
When I came back from the wedding, sir,
I searched for him a lot at the bus stop,
but he never showed up. We were together,
but that day he didn't come. Then I went home.
When I got home and saw…
He was
lying there on the ground like that.
Sir, he had been
lying there like that for two whole days.
That's what the police told me, and I don't know
what happened or how it happened
in those two days, sir.
Any fights or enmity with anyone?
Madam,
why would anyone have enmity with us?
What do we even have?
But Madam…
There is someone in the family
on whom I have complete suspicion.
My elder brother-in-law,
Sir… when my father-in-law passed away,
he transferred the shop in my husband's name.
That made my brother-in-law and his wife very angry.
I even told the police about this,
but…
But sir, nothing happened.
Who listens to the words of the poor, sir?
Madam,
please…
Please find out.
Madam, it must have been my brother-in-law who killed my husband.
Don't worry,
we will get to the bottom of this case.
Hmm.
Now look at this photo.
Do you know these two people? Have you seen them here?
Could it be that they came to meet either at the house or at the shop?
No, sir.
Who are these people? I've never seen them before.
This is the first time I'm seeing them, I don't know them.
Sir,
Sir, look at this. The case file of the bus conductor.
He slept on the bus at night,
-and in the morning his body was found. -No witnesses.
Sir, he didn't have a house here, he used to sleep on the bus itself.
And in the morning, when the driver came to wake him up,
they discovered he had already died during the night.
And he had no connection with those two victims,
nor did his bus even go on their route.
His family lived in Bantardara,
and when his murder happened,
the police questioned them, but they had no clue.
Sir, three murders have happened. Three bodies were found.
The modus operandi is the same,
but there's no link between any of them.
Even after ten years, these cases remain unsolved.
No, Purvi.
CID can never give up like this.
I feel this case has come before us only
so that we can find answers
to all these questions.
The college student Manoj's sister says
she doesn't know the conductor Shyam or the shopkeeper Gagan.
And Gagan's wife suspects her brother-in-law.
It must have been my brother-in-law who killed my husband.
But when we checked with the local police station,
we learned that on the night, Gagan was murdered,
his brother was out of town,
and now even he has died.
Besides,
it's not believable that
a grocery shop owner
would use liquid nitrogen
to kill his own brother.
Sir, there's no connection,
no motive
but the modus operandi is the same.
Sir, it's possible the killer picked
these three randomly and murdered them,
because serial killers often do that.
They have nothing to do with the victims.
Just like that, without reason…
Difficult.
Three murders in seven days,
and the method of murder… what a method!
It's not like he just stabbed them and ran away.
To kill three people so cleanly,
in such a complicated way
this can't be random, boss.
The way these murders were carried out required a lot of planning.
That means the killer needed
time to execute his plan,
and he must have known exactly when to attack his prey.
Yes, sir, I also feel
the killer knew very well when and where his victims would be alone
where no one could save them.
And there would be no witnesses either.
Right.
In this case too, the college student
Manoj used to go to the park every night
and return home late at 2 or 3 am.
The killer knew that.
He also knew that the grocery shopkeeper's wife
had gone to the village
and he was alone at home.
And that the conductor used to sleep on the bus every night.
Though he lived in this city, he hadn't even rented a room.
The killer knew that on that night too,
he would be alone on the bus.
Exactly!
This can't have happened just like that.
There must have been some motive
everything was planned.
We'll have to get to the bottom of all three cases.
Let's do one thing.
Check their calls, emails,
messages, CCTV. Everything.
And dig up their old
social media posts as well.
Somewhere, there has to be some link
that connects these three cases.
This shopkeeper's email account is practically just for namesake.
The student's account
is entirely related to games.
Think, Shinde, any small detail
that might help us solve this case.
No, sir.
Ten years ago, we tried really hard,
but didn't find a single clue.
Until now, I was pretty hopeful… but now it feels like…
Don't give up, Sachin.
We may be very close to that missing link.
It's possible the secret
is about to be revealed.
We worked all night, but found nothing.
No, sir.
Nothing here either.
Sir.
We've found one link
that connects all three.
-What is it? -Look at this, sir.
Their Facegram accounts.
Facegram of all three of them.
All three had active accounts. I checked all their profiles.
These people didn't even know each other,
but I checked all the posts
they had liked or commented on.
I found one reel, sir,
on which all three of them had commented.
Sir, it's a video of a five-year-old girl dancing,
and the comments…
How can anyone do something so disgusting?
To insult her,
to break her spirit…
People don't even think about what impact it might have on a child.
They can close themselves off, they can break down.
This is such a poisonous mentality.
Whoever read those comments
would never have forgiven the three of them.
They would have remembered it and taken revenge.
Now we have to find out who this girl is
and who posted that reel.
Could the girl be so close to someone
that they would take lives over a post on social media?
Sir, the reel on which
all three of them had made those vile comments.
The girl's father posted it.
Did you find out anything about him?
What does he do? Where does he live?
Sir, his name is Tarun.
He's a chemical engineer in a petrochemicals company.
-Chemical engineer? -Sir, that means
getting hold of cryogenic materials like liquid nitrogen
would be extremely easy for him.
Let's go meet this chemical engineer.
Maybe we'll get answers to all our questions there.
-Who are you people? -We're from CID.
-CID? -Is your husband at home?
Yes.
Tarun is in the washroom.
Please, please come in.
Tarun?
The CID officers have come to meet you.
Oh my God, CID!
You're Daya Sir, right?
And you're Purvi Ma'am.
Please, can I take a selfie with you?
I have a secret wish
that when I grow up, I also want to join CID.
Oh wow, of course! Here,
let me help you take the selfie.
But promise me, when you grow up, you'll become an officer like Purvi.
Someone who protects everyone, okay?
Smile!
-Thank you! -Okay.
Tarun is coming. Please, have a seat.
Would you like some tea or coffee?
No, nothing, thank you.
I don't understand why
you've suddenly come here like this.
Don't worry, it's just a routine enquiry.
Please take a look at this photo.
Do you know these people?
Have you seen any of them before?
No, sir,
-I've never seen them. -Okay.
Take a look at this,
maybe it'll remind you of something.
This video is of your daughter,
and these are the comments that were posted on it.
You must have been outraged.
Usually, parents post videos
of their children, hoping that people will praise them,
-but… -Sir,
on online social platforms, these things keep happening.
If we start worrying
about what everyone says, life will become impossible.
I don't think about such things,
and I've also taught my daughter
to focus on the positive
and not care about people's words otherwise,
you can't move ahead in life.
But sir, this is all from a long time ago.
Why have you come now to question us?
These nasty comments
were posted by the three people
whose photos I just showed you.
They were all murdered ten years ago.
Within a week of posting the comment,
all three of them were murdered.
-What? -Hmm.
Murdered!
So that means you people are here
because you suspect Tarun.
You're suspecting my husband.
Let me tell you one thing.
Tarun is a very simple man.
He could never do something like this.
He's never even raised his hand against anyone.
We never said Tarun committed the murders.
But you came here
that means you do suspect him, right?
Tarun can't do this.
What he can
or cannot do,
and what really happened at that time
we'll ask Tarun all these questions.
-Call him. -Purvi.
Wait… what's that smell?
Sir, that's gas.
Is the gas on in the kitchen?
-I don't know, let me check… -Yes, it's on.
I have turned on the gas stove.
The gas has spread throughout the house.
If you guys don't want any accidents here, go away.
Leave my family alone.
-Right away! -Tarun,
have you gone mad? What are you doing?
-Have you gone crazy? -Move! Don't get involved in all this.
Move aside!
Aarha! Where is Aarha? Come here, dear.
Dad? Dad!
Dad? What are you doing, dad?
If not about yourself, then at least think about your daughter.
I do. I always do.
So whatever I did, I did it for my daughter.
That's why I punished them.
I killed them!
-Dad, what have you done? -Tarun…
A man who loves his daughter so much
cannot set his house on fire and turn it into ashes.
We also understand this much.
You have killed three people for your daughter.
You cannot kill your daughter.
-Dad? -Tarun…
What!
No, I will!
-No… -I will kill everyone!
I won't spare anyone!
-Tarun, stop. -No, dad…
Please! Please stop!
I killed them all.
For my daughter.
I did it for my family!
I first found out about those three guys.
Who are they, and what is their routine?
Then I planned everything.
I'm a chemical engineer,
so I stole a cylinder of liquid nitrogen from the store.
Then, after that, I killed all three one by one.
I knew that once you find their bodies,
you won't know how I killed them.
What right do those people have to live
who make fun of innocent children?
They shatter their confidence.
The only punishment for such bullies is death.
The reason for your anger was right, Tarun,
but the method was wrong.
When the police could not reach you for ten years,
you thought that your plan had succeeded.
But crime never remains hidden.
You have committed three murders. You will get punished for that.
But have you ever thought about the punishment that your wife
and your daughter will get because of you?
And even after committing three murders, you did not stop,
and you committed the fourth murder.
The famous Hindi writer Surya's murder.
Fourth murder?
Who's Surya?
This. This is Surya.
He was studying your case
and was probably about to reach you.
He died the same way as you killed those three.
Why did you kill him? Because he found out your secret?
What are you saying? I don't know any Hindi writers.
I don't even read any Hindi newspaper,
so why would I kill Surya?
The same method of killing,
and the same liquid nitrogen.
Who else but you can do this?
Sir, if I am confessing that I have committed all three murders,
then why would I lie and say that I have not killed Surya?
Sir, someone must have copied my style.
I was angry with those three guys.
I don't even know this man. So why would I kill him?
Someone else has done this.
You should look for him.
Sir.
Sir, Tarun was absolutely right.
Tarun was present in the hospital when Surya was murdered.
His daughter was admitted due to an emergency.
And I've also confirmed this from the hospital, sir.
Apart from this, I checked his phone calls and location.
Everything matches, sir.
This means Tarun was telling the truth.
Tarun was telling the truth.
He committed three murders ten years ago,
so he will definitely get punished for them.
But who is this other one?
Who is the other one
who killed Surya, and that too in the same way
in which Tarun had murdered?
I don't understand.
Could it be that Surya's murder and the three murders that happened
ten years ago have no connection?
Sir, this modus operandi?
To know that Surya
-is alone at home. -Exactly.
Whoever the murderer is, he is misleading us.
-Sir. -Yeah?
Sir, the data on Surya's laptop has revealed
-a shocking fact. -What is it?
The files that were on Surya's laptop which were deleted,
and we later recovered them…
The murder mystery files?
Yes, sir.
Those files were not created in Surya's system.
Then how did they enter his database?
Sir, copy-paste.
-Copy-paste? -Sir, first, someone killed Surya,
then uploaded the files
and then took out hard copies of them.
And then deleted them.
So that we think that Surya was investigating this case,
while it was not true. Sir, someone is doing this intentionally
to mislead us.
Exactly. He is trying to mislead us.
Who is he?
We're missing something, but what is it?
What are we missing?
-Yes, Boss? -Salunkhe,
forget all the investigation we have done in Surya's murder case.
Do you mean there is something wrong with what has been done so far?
Oh, man, you're doubting me? Salunkhe?
Listen to what I am saying carefully and keep your ego aside.
And do what I said.
Start the investigation afresh! Something is missing.
I need the report as soon as possible.
We have to solve this case at any cost.
We have to find the murderer. Got it?
It will open. All the locks will open, boss.
Believe me.
-Boss. -Yes, Salunkhe?
Boss, as you said, I thoroughly
-double-checked every evidence. -And?
The body told what it had to tell,
but another story was hidden somewhere else.
Come on, Salunkhe, will you tell us quickly?
Boss, that story was hidden on Surya's clothes.
The murderer did not know that he was unknowingly
-leaving behind microscopic evidence. -And what was that?
Boss, when I checked his clothes thoroughly,
I found a microscopic organic pigment
on the fabric of his clothes.
This is a type of ink, but it is not ordinary ink.
-It is Natural Cephalopod ink. -Oh.
-Natural Cephalopod ink? -Yes, Daya.
This ink is made from melanin granules.
-This is also called octopus ink. -Octopus ink?
Yes, octopus ink.
Actually, Daya, many animals and insects have some kind
of the mechanism in their body to protect themselves.
To find out whether this is really an Octopus Ink or not,
I also did a spectro test on it.
-Then? -Boss, this
-really is an Octopus Ink! -But, sir.
Where will we get this Octopus Ink?
Octopus Ink is not available in the general market.
You can only find it where live octopus is found,
and where are they found?
In the kitchen of a high-end restaurant
that makes amazing, delicious seafood.
So, boss, that's why I think the murderer works in a restaurant
that makes high-end seafood.
And in such restaurants,
he can also get liquid nitrogen very easily.
-Sir. -Yes?
Sir, Surya was a chef.
He has worked as a chef for a year.
-He also had a degree. -What!
And after leaving the hospitality industry, he became a writer.
Why did he leave his job as a chef?
Sir, a girl named Tripti used to work with him.
She was also a chef. They both fell in love, sir.
Lover Tripti!
Both of them fell in love.
She is the one whose love transformed into hatred.
His lover, Chef Tripti.
Chef Tripti
is Surya's past.
Sir, Tripti
works as a chef in this popular restaurant.
It has a five-star rating, and look at this crucial information, sir.
Her menu includes an octopus.
Sir, Tripti is still on duty inside.
Sachin, you and Purvi enter from the back door.
People usually try to escape through the back door.
Chef Tripti?
Chef Tripti, we have a few questions to ask you.
I'm sorry, but you can see how busy I am.
Wait till my shift ends. Please
don't stand in the kitchen.
Hygiene is our prime concern here. Please wait out…
We are talking out of concern for hygiene,
or else, CID waits for nobody.
I'm coming.
Hey!
Please help!
-Back! -Let her go.
Step back!
-Please help! -Don't step forward, or I will kill her.
Please help me.
Step back.
-Please help me! -I'll kill her if you step forward.
You will soon find out
how this game ends.
Oh!
We arrest you for killing Surya Kumar.
Who is Surya? I don't know any Surya.
I don't know any Surya.
Let's go.
This is your personal diary.
It has the success story
of Surya, one you do not know, and your rage towards it. Tell us the truth.
The day Surya was killed,
you cooked an octopus dish
in the restaurant.
The hotel log has its entry.
It was your night shift.
Kitchen staff usually go home after 1:30 am.
But that night, you left early
without informing anyone.
You know where you went.
To prevent you from lying and wasting our time,
we've come prepared.
Your laptop here?
It has told everything. The software in this
is the same version as that of the files
you copied on Surya's laptop.
Your research for the murder and your planning
have been divulged by your laptop. You wanted to exact revenge.
You found the liquid nitrogen case interesting.
You have no option but to tell the truth now.
You made one more mistake.
You went to Surya's home in this uniform.
The octopus ink that was on your uniform
was found on his clothes.
I met Surya in college.
It was love at first sight.
He loved me, as well.
But I didn't know he flirted with every girl in the same way.
He left me.
Then,
he started romancing another girl.
I think she was a wealthy lady.
What else did he want?
His novel got published,
and he became popular.
But the story in his novel
was not his.
It was my story.
It was my story!
It was my life. He snatched everything. He snatched my life.
He changed his name and moved to a new city.
I was on every page.
But he didn't give me the due acknowledgement.
He refused to recognise me.
Whenever I'd see his novel with the happy ending,
I would feel enraged.
I found out he changed girls
like his clothes.
Nothing mattered to him.
He always lacked love and loyalty.
I had always hated him.
But the intensity increased.
I wanted to kill him and avenge myself.
That's when
I learnt about that ten-year-old murder case.
I researched it.
Then, I thought that if I killed Surya, in the same manner,
the police wouldn't chase me.
They will be after the killer who committed the first three murders.
We know the rest.
Octopus and liquid nitrogen helped us get to you.
But how did you find out that someone used liquid nitrogen
to commit those murders ten years ago?
This secret was revealed recently.
That, too, our forensic expert
found out.
Just by luck?
This one time, in our hotel kitchen,
I saw our junior chef's fingers getting affected.
Liquid nitrogen was sprayed on them by mistake.
It was so shocking to see it.
It was as if a glass had shattered. Absolutely sudden!
That's how I found out about liquid nitrogen.
Then, I researched liquid nitrogen.
I studied it.
I decided it was the best way to exact revenge on Surya.
The path of hatred usually
leads to the darkness of prison.
Sir, we solved such a complex case today.
A party is due in your restaurant.
Of course! Why not?
I'll book right away.
-It is sir's favourite restaurant. -Wait. What are you booking for?
No. Do not book yet.
We'll first finish this game.
-Then… -He's back to lose.
I'm not here to lose.
I will win this time and celebrate it.
Then, you will have to throw a party. Come on.
God!
We'll book later. Come on.
Have you ever won?
I've won several times, but you're so forgetful.
Wait a minute.
We left this game as it was.
What did I tell you?
I can flatten everyone's back,
like they do in wrestling.
Okay. No problem. Losing once is okay.
I'll throw the party.
I've lost because I wanted to throw a party, boss.
Come on. You will never forget it.
Dr Salunkhe will throw a party for you all. boss.
