One, two, three, four…
five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
Julia.
Jules, come. The patties are ready.
Come, come. They are nice and hot.
Come quickly.
Shit!
You again?
I told you not to come here again and again.
The new lot has arrived, hasn't it?
Yes, it has. But your comic is not in it.
I'm just double-checking.
For what?
-I'm telling you it's not there. -It has to be here…
Why do you come here every day and give me a headache?
Fuck!
Jerk!
Get out.
-Listen to me-- Boss! -I said get out.
You keep coming here to chew my brains.
And listen…
You listen.
Here's your advance of 10,000 rupees. I don't want it.
Please, keep it.
Here's another 10,000.
Total 20,000. Okay?
As soon as you find that comic book… You have my number, don't you?
Call me, okay?
Shit!
Light. Turn on the lights.
Do you have any lights in the car?
-No. -Shit!
Stop, stop! Stop the car.
Stop!
Thank God.
No, no, no.
Open.
Come on!
Open!
Jay. Wake up.
I am going to cut the cake.
Won't you wish me a happy birthday?
Let me sleep.
Jay.
Wake up.
Wake up, Jay!
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday, dear Prithvi!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday!
Here. Your turn.
Just touch it to his lips.
Ayesha.
No.
It's nine o'clock.
Wow.
I didn't know you were the one-night-stand type.
I've got a job to do.
So what?
At least have breakfast with me.
Or I'll feel very used.
Breakfast? But I'll be late.
Yes…
but just a little late.
Too much to ask for?
Sorry.
Yes, Tawde?
I'll be right there.
All okay?
No one's allowed inside. Don't you get it?
How can you do that?
Move. Madam is here.
Jai Hind, madam.
Move aside.
Move.
This way, madam.
Jai Hind, madam.
Their wrists are slit, madam.
Move back.
There are signs of a struggle.
Ushmi.
Ushmi?
What's this?
Ushmi.
What are you doing? No.
No.
No one will survive.
The darkness will devour everyone.
It's all over!
Maybe the father tried to stop her.
Send the sample of the male body to the lab.
I understand why the mother did it. She was unwell.
But the father?
He was fine.
Ushmi.
Why did he commit suicide?
Especially now that we are investigating the case.
How does it matter, madam?
I guess they lost all hope of finding their daughter.
Didn't Jay Sheth pay them a visit just a few hours before all this?
Bring him to the police station.
I'll go.
Every event that occurs in our life
has a reaction in our brain
through electrical brain waves.
We call this ERP.
Event-Related Potentials.
Who wants to see these brain waves in action?
Any volunteers?
Look, it's a theta wave.
It indicates that Ankit is drowsy.
This means either my lecture is boring
or someone partied till late last night.
These brain waves consist of neural codes
through which all our emotions,
like love, fear, sadness, or happiness, are expressed.
All our thoughts…
Why did you do it, Jay?
Jay.
Sir, does that mean the sum total of all these
electrical activities transpiring in our brain is our consciousness?
Simply put, the answer is yes.
Okay, who can tell me
what alpha and beta waves represent?
Sir.
Welcome back, Jay.
How are you?
I am good, sir. Thanks.
Now that you are back,
I hope your questions will make a comeback soon as well.
Actually, I have a question for you.
Good.
Can we talk on the way?
I've got some patients to visit.
If the imbalance in brain waves causes depression,
can correcting these imbalances cure depression?
In theory, yes.
Has anyone tried putting this theory into practice?
Not that I know of.
And what about TMS treatment, sir?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation exists,
but the success rate isn't a hundred percent.
Sir, would you know if Prithvi was working in this field?
Did he ever mention anything to you?
Not to my knowledge.
Did he say anything to you?
No.
But he vaguely mentioned before the accident
that he was doing some kind of research in this field.
Who would know Prithvi better than you?
Until he is a hundred percent sure,
he never shares anything with anyone.
Everyone knows
clinical depression is a subject that is very close to his heart.
Sorry, sir.
Jay.
I know you and your family are going through a tough time.
And if there's anything I can do to help,
you can reach out to me. Studies, anything.
Yeah?
Hey!
What?
-Why aren't you taking my calls? -You…
How many times do I have to call you?
-Come on. -Where?
-Let's go. -But…
Let's go!
Leave me! Let me go!
Leave me. I don't want to go.
-Leave me! -I said, let's go.
What's going on here?
-I said I don't want to go. -Get up!
-Leave me. -Is that any way to behave with kids?
-Leave him. -Leave me.
I said leave!
Ayesha ji, it is imperative that he goes to the doctor,
but he is resisting.
Fine. But this is not the way.
Let me try.
You wait outside.
What happened, Omar?
I don't want to go anywhere. I want to stay right here.
Are you feeling scared?
Don't be scared.
You'll stay right here.
They are just taking you for a routine health checkup.
As soon as it's over, they will bring you back here.
Promise.
And no needles?
No.
And you know what?
When you come back,
there will be a prize waiting for you.
Prize?
Okay?
And now, please welcome on stage
the legendary comic book writer.
Let's hear it for
Kanishk Gupta!
We're so excited to have you here today.
And we're even more excited about your new graphic novel,
Kalia -The Knight of Demons.
Isn't it, friends?
-Yes. -No!
No.
I mean, yes, excited.
But I am here for Satya.
Satya - The Warrior Monk.
Satya is out of print.
Yes, but you must have a personal copy.
Please try and understand. It's a matter of life and death.
You are that nut job who's been emailing
and texting me all these months, right?
Me?
Yes, that's me.
Rozario. Jude Rozario.
Wait a minute.
Did you just call me a nut job?
-What? What did I do? -Hey!
What did I do wrong? Did I say I want it for free?
-Let's go. -I'm willing to pay for it.
I don't want it for free.
But I want a copy today,
and I am not leaving without one.
-And that's final. -Come outside.
-Come with me. -Hey…
-This is not cool, man. -Come.
Does anyone have a copy?
Get lost.
First, Prithvi's number repeatedly appears in Bani's call records.
Then you go and see her parents,
and a few hours later, they both end up dead.
Either you brothers are bad luck,
or there is something going on that I can't see.
That darkness…
It was after Bani.
It devoured her.
The darkness devoured my daughter.
Kanitkar,
book both of them under the Anti-Superstition and Black Magic Act.
Come on, get up.
-Let's go. -No. Please, sir. At least hear me out.
This is not some superstition or black magic.
There is actually something supernatural going on.
What?
How do I explain this?
Darkness…
it's come alive.
First, it scares you.
Then it forces you to commit suicide.
The darkness came after Prithvi, too, but I saved him.
Now, this darkness is after me.
Here comes darkness,
looking for you.
-Open your mouth. -Ma'am.
-No… -Open your mouth.
-Ma'am. -I'm not lying.
-Kanitkar.
Madam, I just want to see what he's high on.
-Speak up. -He's not lying, ma'am.
He's telling the truth.
-Is it? -Yes.
So Bani's mom told you two
but kept it a secret from her husband.
Trying to pull a fast one on us, are you?
Maybe she was scared that you would make fun of her.
Call her a lunatic, like you're doing to us.
Do we look like lunatics to you?
I've heard enough of your rubbish.
Kanitkar, hand me the laptop.
What's the matter?
Cat got your tongue?
What?
We found these on Prithvi's tablet.
Detailed reports of
Bani, Jude, and some Patient X.
Aren't you a doctor?
You must have heard of Ketamine.
Keta-C13Z.
It's a Ketamine-based banned psychotropic drug.
Was your brother helping people with this banned drug,
or was he conducting illegal experiments on them?
Answer the question.
Speak up!
It's a treatment for depression.
It doesn't intend to harm anyone.
How do you know?
Because…
I am "Patient X."
There's an advanced lab that has this machine.
Prithvi said it could cure depression.
He thought it could cure me, too.
You ready?
He was recording my readings under Patient X.
He didn't have permission to treat me,
so he used to sneak me in.
How are you feeling?
Can't explain.
I've never felt like this before.
Jay!
I thought there must be other patients like me,
but I had no idea Bani was one of them.
What is the location of this therapy?
I don't know.
What?
I don't know.
I told you, he used to sneak me in.
Not from the outside,
but I can recognize that building from the inside.
I asked Prithvi about its location, but…
he never told me.
Fantastic.
You two make quite the team.
She's into horror.
You're into sci-fi.
What?
How does this machine--
-What drama is this? -Madam, wait. I'll go check.
Madam.
-Madam, wait. -Is this a fish market? Where is Satam?
This means Bani underwent the same treatment.
Perhaps that's why I saw her in my dreams.
But how is that possible?
Listen, madam.
-Rumi, if we get caught-- -Keep an eye out.
I'll check it out, madam.
Rascal, won't speak to his wife
-but he'll serenade the tart next door. -What's all the commotion?
Shut up!
He pays no attention to his own children
-but wags his tail… -Stay back.
-Look, madam… -Found the file, madam.
See for yourself how she beats me.
Are you done?
-But, sir… -Shut it. Move from here.
-But, sir-- -Quiet! Not a word!
Madam.
You two can go for now.
-But you cannot leave the city. -But, madam?
-Hey! -Listen.
Think about it.
Prithvi was carrying out an illegal experiment on you, his own brother.
And you're trying to defend him.
Leave.
What, madam?
Jude Rozario has been located, Kanitkar.
What?
He has a criminal record.
Committed cyber-fraud in 2017.
Tell Tawde to continue watching these two.
Rumi, listen to me.
Listen to me.
Rumi!
Rumi, stop!
Listen to me once, at least.
Rumi.
Listen, I'm sorry
for not telling you about Prithvi and the treatment earlier.
It's okay.
You were just trying to protect your brother.
I am just disappointed that you still don't trust me.
No, that's not it.
I just can't figure out why Bani is haunting me.
Do you think Prithvi actually harmed her in some way?
Even if he did, why would she haunt you?
I mean, you didn't even know her.
Just because Prithvi is in a coma
doesn't mean you're the next best option.
By that logic, she should haunt your mom, too.
Leave it.
Perhaps this new information
can tell us more about the darkness.
Rumi, that's the same window
Bani jumped out of.
Are you sure?
Yes.
Hotel Bombay Moon.
I really don't have his address.
Any phone number?
Anything we can use to trace him?
There is an old number that doesn't work anymore.
When did you and Jude get divorced?
After he went to jail.
After going to jail?
Can one get divorced while in jail?
Online.
Digital India.
Look, my daughter and I have nothing to do with Jude anymore.
After being released from jail, he tried to contact us.
I told him to stay away. When he didn't listen,
I got a restraining order from the court.
What did he do?
Did he threaten you? Bother you?
You guys are bothering me now.
Do I have to share my life story every time with every officer?
All of you all.
What do you mean, all of us?
Who else was here?
Why is Naik looking for Jude?
Come here, dear.
So Naik is already aware of the connection between Bani and Jude.
You're back already?
How was it? Did you have fun?
You lied to me.
You said there would be no needles.
I am sorry.
Was it painful?
But it was also a lot of fun.
The doctor made me sit in a big chair.
There were several lights and buttons next to it.
After that, I went to the garden
and made a new friend.
We played a lot.
That's great!
So you had a lot of fun.
You said I would get a prize.
Did I?
Yes. You forgot?
Prize?
Yes.
Thank you!
Yes, Tawde?
Yes.
I see.
Madam, Jay and Rumi checked into a hotel room.
I'm not implying that, madam.
The same hotel room as Bani.
Listen, what exactly are we doing here?
Wherever people die,
their spirits linger there for some time.
Spirit?
Yes, spirit.
It's a form of energy.
And we're trying to detect that energy.
If we succeed,
then we have a date with Bani tonight.
And what is all this?
These are EMF meters.
This is a Geiger counter.
This is an EVP recorder.
This is a spirit box.
Ready?
Okay.
Bani, if your spirit is present here,
please give us a sign.
If you are interested in talking to us,
move toward the EMF meter on the right.
And if you don't wish to talk,
move toward the EMF meter on the left.
I am so sorry. It's my mom.
She's been on my case lately.
You are lucky.
At least you have a mom.
I lost my mom years ago.
Lost her in a fire.
I'm sorry.
She was a research scientist, you know?
A bloody brilliant one at that.
My first paranormal experience was also related to my mom.
I was nine.
Mom kept saying she was being haunted by a demon.
What?
Of course, no one believed her.
Except me.
Everyone thought she’d lost her mind.
But after the death of my brother,
something changed.
What happened exactly?
If you don't mind sharing.
Shadab had progeria.
He was only two when he died.
Mom was already struggling with dysthymia.
She couldn't handle the loss.
And my uncle thought that she'd lost her mind.
Listen, I'm…
Sorry, I'm just… I will be right back.
My sinuses.
Mama is not mad, okay?
Remember. Mama loves you. Mama is not mad, okay?
Mama loves you, Rumi.
Let's go!
Rumi, remember, Mama is not mad. Rumi, please.
Rumi, remember, Mama loves you, okay?
I'm going to be back. Brother! Brother, please!
Stop, please!
Brother, please.
Rumi! Rumi, Mama loves you, okay?
Rumi, Mama is not mad.
Mama is not mad, okay?
Remember, Mama is not mad!
Rumi?
Where are they?
408, madam.
-Come, Kanitkar. -Stay alert.
Jay?
Fuck!
-What's going on here? -Ma'am…
I told you both to stay away from this.
-No, I… -We are still investigating the case.
Do you want to end up in jail?
There is no one else here.
Where is Jay?
I am also looking for him.
Fuck!
No, no, no! Jay!
Jay!
Prithvi!
Jay.
Jay!
I am sorry, Prithvi.
Jay.
Jay!
Madam!
-Jay. -Madam! What happened?
-Jay. -I am sorry, Prithvi.
I am sorry.
What the fuck!
I am sorry.
I shouldn't have taken you to the hotel.
Are you okay? Jay?
He barely escaped death today.
Take care of him.
Thank you, Inspector. Thank you very much.
Auntie, do you need me to help you with Jay?
I'll manage.
-Rumi? -Yes.
You are the one who called?
-Thank you, child. -No worries, Auntie.
Jay!
When you saved Jay,
something happened to you.
What was it?
Stay away from Bani's case.
Next time, there won't be a warning.
Don't you get it?
There will be a next time.
Jay isn't looking for Bani.
Bani and the darkness are looking for Jay.
Who the fuck are you after now?
Jay Sheth.
Brothers?
You are so fucked, bro.
As long as Prithvi is in a coma,
the stress on Jay's mental health will continue to grow.
What happened, Jay?
Can't sleep?
The darkness won't let you sleep.
It's watching you.
Even now.
The darkness, Prithvi, Bani, the machine…
I know everything.
Who are you?
Do you want to know more, Jay?
Tomorrow morning at 10 a.m., be ready.
-What's going on here? -Ma'am…
Do you want to end up in jail?
Where is Jay?
Aatma! Aatma! Aatma!
in jail?
