Ayesha?
Stop looking for Bani, or this one goes missing.
End the investigation now. Else...
This is your last warning. Got it?
Ayesha? Ayesha, are you all right?
What did he do to you? Ayesha?
Kanitkar, depute Tawde and Jadhav to madam's security detail.
-I will speak with the Commissioner -Sure.
Come, let's go.
I'm sorry. It's all my fault.
It won't happen again, I promise.
Kadam? Lost your gusto?
You thought there was some movie going on here?
And you are the star?
This is Mumbai, got it?
You need to stay within your limits here.
You thought you could solve the case using Jude as a bait?
You think you're so smart?
You have no idea
how your career and your life will go for a toss.
What're you gonna do? What're you gonna do?
-Hey, Kadam, have you lost it? -Shit scared?
Are you choking on your own life lessons now?
-What are you doing? Put the gun down. -Who is it?
-Who are you trying to protect? Who is it? -Put the gun down.
Gokhale sir! Gokhale sir! What is she doing?
Lower the gun!
Kadam!
Mom, what are you looking for?
This?
Jay, I...
Are you actually taking Prithvi off life support?
-It's not how it appears. -Then what is it, Mom?
Have you ever felt a lack of money?
Only I know how hard I've worked to raise both of you.
Then why? Being his mom, how can you even think of it?
Because I'm his mother.
I'm losing one son in an attempt to save the other and I cannot do that.
You cannot blame me for your decision.
I am not doing that, dear.
Do you think I can't see
how tortured you feel
when you just even look at Prithvi?
You know Prithvi's Glasgow Scale.
What will I do if something happens to you?
Who is giving you these ideas? Aziz? That fucking asshole?
I even asked him not to tell you anything.
Jay, behave yourself.
Prithvi is not in a coma because of any accident. I know 'cause I was with him.
He was attacked by the darkness, Mom. I saw it with my own eyes.
Mom.
I am speaking the truth.
I have made my decision.
Yes, sir. I'll be there.
Jai Hind.
What happened?
Who was it?
It was the Commissioner.
He called me for a meeting.
Suspension is certain. I might even lose my job.
That Naik and Gokhale...
Had I found any evidence in Bani's case, I'd have thrown it in their faces.
Nothing is going to happen.
And even if it does,
we'll deal with it.
Together.
Right now?
Fine, I'll be there.
-Jai Hind, sir. -Come in, KK.
Pulling a gun on a fellow officer? Don't you think that's a bit too much?
Sir, what happened with Naik at the station last night...
There is no need to explain.
KK. Barot.
Jai Hind, sir.
This time it wasn't suspension, your termination letter was ready.
But, luck is in your favor. Sit.
The man you're looking for is Darius. Darius Cooper.
We've been chasing him for some time now.
Why?
He is a dangerous man. Ex-intelligence.
These days, he's a gun for hire. Works for the highest bidder.
If you know so much already, why haven't you nabbed him yet?
Because... we wanted to know who he is working for.
And why.
Before we could find anything, he went off the grid.
Your investigation has dragged him out of hiding.
That means, your investigation is headed in the right direction.
Now, you must find out what exactly is going on.
Open your eyes, Omar.
How was it in the garden today? Did you have fun?
I had a blast.
-I also made a friend. -Friend?
We were playing hide and seek.
We had a lot of fun.
Can you bring him here, Doctor?
So, what does he look like?
He looks just like me.
Same to same. But he stays in the darkness.
-Darkness? -Yes, since he doesn't have eyes.
He lives alone in the garden. Please bring him here.
Olga.
Bani. Remember, you can neither see nor hear me.
We'll communicate through clicker.
One click means yes. Two means no.
Can you see the lake, Bani?
Bani, if you can hear me, click once.
Bani?
Bani!
Bani, are you all right?
Bani! Bani!
-What happened? -Darkness.
Darkness.
-I saw it. I saw it. It was... -Relax.
It was coming after me. Please help me.
Such minor incidents are common in every experiment.
-Something happened in Mindspace for sure. -Oh, come on.
It's a freak incident.
Look, Keta C13Z is known to cause hallucinations. Okay?
The subject only sees what we show them.
Exactly, sir.
When we didn't suggest darkness,
why would she scream about it?
How does it matter?
Who is gonna care if anything happens to an escort or a criminal?
They're not guinea pigs or hamsters for our trials.
So what do we do?
Do we stop the experiment?
Maybe you were the wrong pick for this trial.
-What? -I'll go into Mindspace, sir.
To find out what exactly this darkness is.
Prithvi.
Bro?
Doctor!
Anybody there?
Prithvi?
Jay.
Hey.
What happened?
Hey, what happened?
Did you speak to her?
No, but...
Jay. Rumi.
What happened? You said it was urgent.
Okay, fine. Thank you.
I checked. She has legal rights.
If your mom has decided to take Prithvi off the ventilator, you can't do anything.
Mom does not have any idea.
I tried explaining it to her but she doesn't want to listen.
There must be a way.
-Court injunction. That's the only way. -Then, let's do it.
It's not easy to obtain a court injunction.
It's a family matter. What can the police do?
Ma'am, Prithvi is your last hope in the Bani Baruah case.
If he dies, all the answers die with him.
I'm sorry to say,
but I don't think Prithvi can give us any answers now.
Hold on.
In exchange for the injunction, what if I give you what you're looking for?
Why did you call me here so urgently?
-Jude. Jude... -What is she doing here?
Are you setting me up?
No. I'm sorry, Jude. It is the only way to save Prithvi.
Jude. Jude. Jude.
Listen. Inspector Kadam is not like the others.
She has saved Jay's life. She's trying to solve Bani's case.
-Rumi... -Jude.
Believe me. If you help us, no harm will come to you.
-You will get police protection. -Protection?
Do you have any idea what this darkness is?
You cannot see inside the darkness.
But, the darkness can see everything inside us.
Our deepest, darkest secrets.
And then, it forces us to press the suicide button.
You think she can protect us from the darkness?
We'll take him to court? Which judge will take him seriously?
We need solid evidence, and reliable witnesses for injunction.
Not ghost stories.
Bro, don't grovel before the cops.
-She doesn't believe us. -Ma'am...
I'm telling you the cat-eyed guy has the entire department on his payroll.
-What did you just say? -I said that all the cops are crooks.
What will you do? Hang me?
No, no. What about the cat-eyed guy?
That cat-eyed guy has the entire department on his payroll.
He looks like this?
That is him!
He recruited me for the experiment.
He runs the entire operation.
-Sure it's him? -Yes. I'm sure.
I'm damn sure he's involved in Bani's death too.
You mean disappearance.
How can anyone survive a fall from such a height?
I saw it with my own eyes.
-You saw it? -Yes.
Yes, even he was among the audience. Tell her.
KK, no one outside this room should know about our discussion.
If this investigation goes sideways, then,
this meeting never happened. Clear?
So, tell me, what's the update?
Sir, I'm certain that Darius is involved in some illegal experiment
that has cost people their lives.
Do you have any solid evidence or is this circumstantial?
I have an eye-witness, sir. He was a subject in this experiment.
Prabal was right about you. Good work, KK.
Thank you, sir. But...
This game can also turn against us, sir.
A prime witness' mother wants to take him off life support.
We need a court injunction against it.
If he asked you not to, why are you telling me, Madam?
Whenever someone says "Don't tell anyone," always tell one person.
Someone you trust.
Now, don't go and tell Dolly about this.
What, Madam.
Barot. Special Bureau.
What about the court order, ma'am?
For fuck's sake. Do you have springs under your feet?
-Can't you sit still? -Jay.
What the fuck, bro? Screaming at me in my house.
If you have a problem, you can leave.
-Guys, calm down. He's stressed. -He's bugging me.
What?
We got the injunction.
I called Inspector Kadam without informing you.
I understand that it wasn't a mousetrap.
You did it to save your brother.
If it were my family, I'd do the same.
-Is that your daughter? -Julia.
Prison made me miss everything.
Instead...
I am always on the run.
Sometimes from the darkness.
Sometimes...
from the evil twin.
-Evil twin? -Yes, evil twin.
He is my spitting image.
But very terrifying.
He has no eyes, no mouth.
And you see him when you are at your lowest.
And he's like...
He's like all your fears and negative thoughts personified.
Is this on the cloud?
Yes, but there must be a physical server somewhere.
Look, look, look.
Uberlife Pharma's server.
Alpha, beta, delta, theta, gamma.
These are electrical waves produced in the human brain.
Jude, open a file.
Thousands of folders with different names.
I think it's the brainwave data of all the people who wore this headset.
What are they going to do with such large data?
Pass it to the marketing folks?
Buy these jeans, drink this cola. All the trouble just for this?
This isn't data mining. They are filtering people.
See, only those with a high gamma-ray synchronicity
have been selected for the experiment.
Huh?
-English, please. -Yes.
My name is in the gamma folder.
Bani, patient X...
Did Prithvi also enter the machine?
But Prithvi knew the machine had problems.
-Yes. -Then, why?
Maybe for troubleshooting? Just like how mechanics slide under the car
to fix it.
Can you hear me? Prithvi?
It's true.
Everything was normal initially.
Then suddenly, I saw it.
The same darkness Bani was talking about.
It felt like it was trying to swallow me.
If you hadn't pulled me out in time,
I might not have made it back.
This procedure is not a cure for depression.
It's something else. Isn't it, sir?
I don't know. But, I'm sure Prithvi had found out.
That's why he stopped me from using the machine.
I get it.
We're trying to access the complete consciousness of our subject.
This data... is our consciousness.
Our memories, our experiences. In short, our entire life.
This experiment isn't for curing depression.
It's for copying people's consciousness.
What will they get by copying one's consciousness?
A century ago, the average life expectancy of Indians was about 21-22 years.
Then with antibiotics, vaccinations, and medical advancements,
it increased to 70 years in just one hundred years.
Imagine.
If we can copy the consciousness of a human and store it,
the person will never die.
Immortal. Ageless.
Isn't that what it's called?
We are on the brink of conquering death, Prithvi.
But why us?
Because this procedure can easily access
the subconscious minds of depressed people.
It can manipulate our brainwaves.
While transferring the consciousness, they awakened this darkness.
This darkness is the by-product of this experiment.
No wonder it knows everything about us.
It's installed in our minds like a virus.
How much longer will the child's procedure take?
Has the RP46 arrived?
RP46 is not easy to smuggle.
It will take some time.
Then, the procedure will also take some time.
Doctor, you wanted a perfect subject for your experiment, which you got.
Now, finish the procedure. We cannot miss the deadline.
You're neither Einstein nor Tesla.
As for RP46,
why the fuck is it so important for you to have it now?
If you like playing 20 Questions,
then answer my question first.
Where is this room?
You're not allowed to know that. You don't have the security clearance.
Dead or alive, Bani is a part of this experiment.
You should have informed me before bringing her body here.
I did exactly as Mr. Uberai instructed.
Mr. Uberai is sending one subject after another
without giving me the time to analyze
where the procedure is going wrong.
I get it now.
RP46 is just an excuse.
Basically, your procedure is not working.
and inform him that this experiment is stalled because of you, or...
you go and get me some fucking RP46 right now.
Who is Omar? You guys never mentioned him.
It's a new folder.
-There's an entry from this morning. -So, the procedure is still in progress.
Age 10? Omar is just a kid.
According to this,
this dark monster
also gets into the minds of its victims,
learns all their problems, their guilt, and fears,
and destroys their life.
If we don't stop these people, they will become more powerful.
-This monster's name is Tama. -Hello.
We need to take the body. Need your signatures.
-Where are you taking the body? -The patient has donated his organs.
-We need to take him to the OT. -Let me see that.
Donation upon Circulatory Death. The body...
Prithvi needs to be taken to the OT.
Did you know about this?
You knew about this, Jay?
Come, I'll explain. Please come.
Time is of essence for DCD.
If the organs are not retrieved in time, they're no longer functional.
Maybe Prithvi never spoke to you about organ donation,
but it's a common practice among doctors.
Even in his death, he's helping people.
Just accept that it was his final wish.
Madam, have a bite.
An empty stomach leads to acidity. Please eat.
It is a spicy sandwich. Here.
Madam.
Once again, I failed
to get justice for Bani.
Don't say that.
These negative thoughts are like bottomless wells.
The more you think, the deeper and darker it gets.
No. No, I didn't do anything.
No, I didn't do anything. I was just trying to save Prithvi.
I didn't do anything.
Let him cry.
An emotional outburst
at this stage may do him some good.
I'm telling the truth.
Did you see that? Prithvi's hand moved.
He is alive.
Prithvi is alive.
Rumi. Rumi, he has to be alive, right?
If the darkness came for him, I would have known.
But that never happened.
Why don't you tell them, Rumi? Tell them about the darkness.
Jay.
-You're lying. You're lying. -Jay.
-You're lying. -Jay!
-He can't die. -Hold him.
-I'll take care of him. -Tell them about the darkness.
Please wait outside.
-Wait outside. -Tell them about the darkness.
Tell them the truth. Tell them I'm speaking the truth.
Leave me. Let go of me.
I know what happens when a person is engulfed by darkness.
And when we can't do anything for them, even if we want to.
A friend of mine, someone very close to me is suffering because of this darkness.
A few days ago, I mentioned on a live chat
that there might be a paranormal presence in Mumbai.
Unfortunately, my gut feeling turned out to be true.
If you know someone going through the same experience,
please reach out to me.
But first, let that friend or relative know
that he or she is not alone. And that you care.
Kal... Kalpana?
Kalpana, what happened?
Bani.
Bani is angry with me.
Ask her to leave.
-Ask her to leave. -It's okay. It's okay.
-There's nothing. -I'm trying.
-There's no one. -I'm trying.
It's nothing.
Come on. Hurry up. Put him there. Yeah. Careful.
Open it. Open it. Put him there. Yeah. Careful.
