(soft music playing over speakers)
Where are you going, honey?
Dinner is ready.
Have some and go.
I have eaten. Let me burn off what I have eaten first.
I will see you in a bit.
(door creaks)
(intriguing music)
- Keys? - Sir, I will drive.
No, I am going out alone today.
(car engine revs)
(upbeat music)
(car door opens)
(car door slams)
(car door opens)
- (car door closes) - (sighs)
Is this your idea of a date?
(Arvind clears throat)
No, I just need to drop off these floor plans for my architect,
and then we will be on our way.
Don't lie to me.
You just wanted to show off your new building.
(suspenseful music)
Where the hell is this watchman?
(girl screaming)
Hero...
Put everything you have in this bag.
Hurry up.
You have 10 seconds to comply,
and I have your girl's life in my hands. She might lose it soon.
- Hurry up! - Relax.
You, too. Throw your purse.
Hurry up!
Take this...
and get lost.
(girl) Somebody help! Please help!
(girl) Police!
Watchman!
(girl) Somebody please help!
Police! Help!
(metallic thud)
(blood spurting)
Help! Police!
(tense music)
(theme music)
Um... Armaan. I--
Eyes on the road, please!
Okay.
I needed an advance. I have to send Shravan to his school trip.
Um, I am sorry...
My situation is a bit tight.
What do you mean it's tight?
It's been two months since we solved that Venkatraman case.
Ask him to pay you.
I asked him once.
He still hasn't paid, so how can I ask him again?
It feels like extortion.
Why are you embarrassed to ask for the money you're owed? I don't understand.
Please ask him again.
(Sharanya) And Sehmat ma'am will be at the crime scene we are going to.
You will talk to her about increasing our fees as well, okay?
(Sharanya stresses) Okay?
(playful music)
(reporters talking into cameras)
Um...
- Sorry. - (Sehmat) Hmm.
Do you know who this is?
Oh, my God.
Huh?
- Is that... - Yeah. Suraj Mudgal.
Who?
He is a billionaire.
You know the dating app Impress?
- Oh, yeah. - He owns that.
And the TV show Biz Sharks, he was a judge on that.
Oh!
Exactly. Why would such a wealthy man commit robbery?
- Yeah. - Wait, wait, wait a minute.
He was the one committing the robbery?
- (Sehmat) Hmm. - (Armaan) Huh?
And I will show you another funny thing.
Touch his knees.
(playful music)
He is wearing knee pads?
Yeah.
(tense music)
Sir, I am a builder.
Extortion threats and all that is a normal occurrence for us.
But he put a knife to my girlfriend's throat and said,
"I have your girl's life in my hands."
I used whatever I could find nearby to protect us.
But I swear I had no idea that he was Suraj Mudgal.
And you made this building?
Yes, I did.
And why were you here so late in the night?
Sir, I was just here to drop off the floor plans.
My architect needed it tomorrow morning.
Sir, we found all these items in Suraj Mudgal's bag.
They belong to him.
We took pictures and notes of everything.
- You can keep them for now. - Okay.
And give them back when we ask.
Yes, of course. Thank you.
You're okay?
Did they give you water?
Madam, can you tell us Suraj Mudgal's cause of death?
Was there a scuffle?
Look, we want the same answers you do.
Let us do our job, okay?
But you don't do your job either.
Even after I screamed so much for help, your constable didn't help us.
He just watched from a distance and then ran away.
How is that possible?
That is exactly what happened.
Madam, what is her statement? Please tell us.
Take her away.
(reporter) Ma'am! Ma'am! Please tell us something.
We are taking her statement!
- Bunty! - Yes, ma'am?
What is all this? Find out who was patrolling here.
Okay.
And did you run a background check on Suraj Mudgal?
Was he involved with drugs or something?
No, his background is clean, ma'am.
His company released its IPO this year,
which meant he had money, too.
I just don't understand what the hell happened here.
(sniffling)
I am sorry... (cries)
Uh, uh... Don't... don't use that.
- Tissue, tissue... - Yes, sorry.
Don't... don't use that.
Here.
One more.
Here.
(sniffling)
One more?
If we give any more, you won't have any tissues left to use.
Suraj took it too far this time.
Has he ever done something like this before?
No, but he had...
become very different. He became strange.
He was a completely different person.
In school, everyone thought he was very simple and sincere.
This is all after that Biz Sharks.
I don't know what happened to him.
He started doing such random things.
Such as?
My Suraj...
who would wear a black hoodie for three days straight...
Just look what he had done to himself.
He started wearing all this.
Look at these clothes.
- We are both vegan, okay? - Okay.
I don't know why he started bringing rare, exotic meat home.
And then there were international models coming home,
and he would make them get into different poses.
Poses? Why?
He was making erotic paintings.
He would always do whatever he wanted to do.
But robbing someone?
Ah! Ah! Tissue!
- Don't use that! - One second.
Tissue.
(quirky music)
(Nishant) On social media,
he put up paid partnerships and ads about his TV show.
Apart from that, he re-shares whatever big businessmen are sharing.
He is an expert in putting up motivational quotes, sir.
Number one.
Look at this.
But the wild lifestyle thing that his wife said isn't adding up.
See.
The clothes are a little funky. Fine.
But the vibe is pretty much, you know?
He is a normie. Like you.
Uh... uh... "Normie"?
- What is that? - It means normal. Plain and simple.
He is not... whoa!
One second. I have got a great idea. Stand here.
Stand here. Stand straight. Now, smile.
Why?
I am making a social media page for you.
No, I don't want social media.
Armaan, please!
Look, with this, people can get in touch with you easily,
and our cases will increase, which is something we need.
Please. Smile? Smile.
That is too much.
No, I am kidding. That is great. Smile.
Smile. Do your smile.
Armaan? What?
What is going on here?
I am making a social media page for him.
It was not my idea.
There will be more cases coming in.
Can we deal with this case first?
I hope you're going to Suraj's office.
Yes, yes, but...
aren't you coming with us?
The Commissioner wants an update on the runaway constable.
Where are we on that?
Ma'am, we haven't got the clearance on the CCTV footage. Bunty is on it.
- Just make it quick, okay? - Yes.
Do your thinking pose.
- I mean... - This?
Yes.
That's enough, please.
(music stops)
So, this is sir's cabin and... all these flowers are for sir.
And this table is also sir's.
How was he? How was he... as a boss?
Very good.
He worked the hardest.
No leaves.
Not even on Sundays.
We used to feel very guilty for not working hard enough.
But he didn't come to the office when he did the TV show, did he?
That is sir's chair.
Sorry.
(Gurleen) No.
TV shows, events, B-Talks...
He used to come every day.
His home... was actually his second home.
The office was his first home.
What exactly are you doing?
Um... Let me do it.
You will thank me. You will like it.
Look, we can read all the good qualities
about your boss on the internet.
But you are his assistant.
Secrets? Affairs?
Tell us about his bad habits.
No, he was very dedicated.
Okay, forget about all that and try to remember.
There has to be something, right?
Which makes you think, "Why is this man like this?"
I mean, refusing to give you an advance
or to completely ignore logic.
(music intensifies)
(sighs) Or doing some shady things.
No.
Uh... Tell us more.
I am great. What about you?
Tell us more about your boss, Gurleen.
Oh! Sorry!
Uh... I am not sure,
but I think he had one gun.
He had a gun?
(intriguing music)
If he had a gun, then why did he use a knife?
Forget about that. If she knew this,
why didn't she tell us something so important right from the start?
- Gurleen! - I'm sorry.
(unsettling music)
Don't worry, Gurleen.
You are not the only one hiding something important from us.
Yes or no.
Madam, let me--
You and Suraj were in the same school,
yes or no!
Yes.
(music intensifies)
Sir, we found all these items in Suraj Mudgal's bag.
They belong to him.
(Sehmat) Then why did you hide it from us?
For Mahira.
I... I was having an affair with Suraj's wife.
Not anymore.
It's in the past.
It happened two years ago.
We...
We met during our college reunion.
And talking to Mahira, I realised
that Suraj has changed a lot.
How did you two break up?
Mahira ended it.
She felt extremely guilty.
She didn't want Suraj to find out about this, but...
but I guess he found out.
(Mahira) He was very angry about the affair.
I apologised to him. I...
asked him if he needed some space.
I suggested couples therapy.
But I never thought that he'd try to hurt Aravind like this.
(tense music)
(Sehmat) So, Suraj came there for revenge?
(Aravind) Whatever I did was purely self-defence.
Madam, please believe me.
I couldn't see his face, but
if I had known that was Suraj,
I would have apologised and tried talking to him, madam.
I just wanted to keep this affair hidden.
That is why...
I lied to you and said
that I didn't know Suraj.
Uh, ma'am, the case is closed, right? Should I send the invoice?
Hmm. We'll leave it to the courts now.
Um... Guys...
Ma'am, can you please talk to the accounts team
- to fast-track the payment? - No, one second.
- I'll send the invoice immediately. - No, no, just one second.
Wait a minute.
Sehmat, think.
If he wanted revenge against Aravind,
why did he attack Aravind's girlfriend?
Isn't it odd?
Armaan, I think you are right. I am being too hasty.
We should keep this case open.
You carry on with the investigation and keep sending me updates.
I am under too much pressure because of this runaway constable.
What are you doing?
What are you doing!
You can keep playing Sherlock if you want,
but couldn't you have let Siddiqui ma'am close this case?
I am sending you the invoice,
and you have to sign it. I don't care.
I am quitting otherwise, Armaan.
Something is not right here.
I can sense it.
You can sense it? Wow.
Can you sense the situation I am going through?
Do you know that Shravan's entire class
has paid for the trip, except for him?
Do you understand that?
Yes.
It's a point.
But...
this is a murder investiga--
Oh, my God!
My Shravan's childhood is being murdered.
Can you solve that, Armaan?
You know what? I don't care. Just...
Have you spoken to Venkatraman about the payment?
(sombre music)
Fine.
I quit.
- Sharanya-- - I quit!
(Nishant) Here it is.
The CCTV footage of our runaway constable.
(Sehmat) Bunty, get me information on this taxi.
Who was driving? Where did they drop him off? Everything.
Okay?
(fast-paced music)
(inaudible)
(music slows down)
(quirky music)
(playful music)
(phone line ringing)
(music fades out)
- (chair bumps into desk) - (tense music)
(cockroach chittering)
(playful music)
(phone vibrating)
(playful music continues)
- Madam. - Hmm?
This is the taxi driver.
Oh, very good, Bunty.
Now, take him to the sketch artist.
Let's go.
(playful music)
(insecticide spraying)
(can rattling)
(playful music continues)
(insecticide spraying)
(music intensifies)
(phone vibrating)
Wait, wait, wait. My husband hired you to spy on me?
Yes.
Your husband suspected that you might be having an affair.
But it turns out that you were not having an affair, so he was wrong.
Now his doubt has been cleared, but my payment still hasn't cleared.
And I am in a lot of trouble because my nurse
has quit her job because I couldn't pay her salary.
And without my nurse, I--
Mistry?
Um... I told you not to come here, didn't I?
Oh, hello, you were suspicious of me?
Just listen to--
You can leave. I will make sure you get paid.
You come here and talk to me.
- Will you listen to-- - Come here.
Listen to me.
You were suspicious of me?
It was nothing! I am sorry--
And you haven't even paid his fees yet!
- I will clear his fees and all-- - (dog starts yapping)
I don't want to hear it.
- But I love you! - No, you don't.
Did you find anything?
(Nishant clicks tongue)
Um... Sehmat is not in her cabin. Where is she?
She is with the Commissioner.
They are both going to be yelled at by the Home Secretary today.
- Why? - The media got the scoop.
"Constable turned scaredy-cat."
"No one can trust Mumbai Police."
"Citizens on its own now."
They are printing all of that.
You are lucky you were suspended, sir,
or you would have been in trouble, too.
(playful music)
(serious music starts)
Uh, Nishant?
This... is a printout of the CCTV footage, correct?
(Nishant) Hmm.
Can you play this footage?
Yes.
(suspenseful music)
(Armaan) Can you rewind it a bit?
Uh... pause.
Zoom-in possible?
Are those... stars?
Yeah.
(intriguing music)
Since when do constable uniforms have stars on them?
Is that a uniform or a rented costume?
(music stops)
(doorbell rings)
(door opens)
Sharanya, please look at what happened to this.
There is no volume at all. Shravan was playing with it yesterday.
Since then, it goes silent while the video is playing.
(lets out a long sigh)
Sure.
I was watching videos of that dead businessman.
(tapping on phone)
(intriguing music)
And I will come to you with my face hidden and threaten you.
"You have 10 seconds to comply. I have your girl's life in my hands."
- No... - "She might lose it soon."
Something like that...
Wait a minute. I still have to fix...
I just had to push him. That's it.
I remember I had a friend who gave me an idea.
"You take a girl out on a date,
"and I will come to you with my face hidden and threaten you.
"'You have 10 seconds to comply.'
"'I have your girl's life in my hands. She might...'"
Okay.
Okay!
Is it fixed?
Yes, it is fixed.
(automated voice) The number you have called is currently switched off.
Come on.
(tapping)
Uh... Nishant?
I forgot my charger,
and Sharanya is the one who always has a spare charger.
My phone is dead.
Can you charge my phone?
Yes, sir. I will charge it for you.
(music intensifies)
(quirky music)
- All of this-- - Uh-uh.
Sir, this is my set-up. It will stay that way.
- Please. Please. - But that--
Please. Thank you.
Mistry sir?
I showed the sketch to every costume guy
from Navy Nagar to Nallasopara.
I didn't get any information.
Look, it's a call from Madanlal Dresswala.
I bet it's nothing, sir.
Tell me, Mr. Madanlal?
You don't have anything, do you?
Okay.
When?
Okay, send me a picture of the register quickly.
Send it urgently, Mr. Madan. Thank you.
Sir, we've got the information.
The constable from the sketch got his costume from this place.
He has a show in Aram Nagar right now. Should we go there?
Of course!
You come, too, Cyber Hero.
Monica aunty, hi. Since you are here,
can you please keep an eye on Shravan?
No, he won't bother you at all.
Don't worry. Thank you. Love you. Bye.
Siddiqui ma'am?
I think I have a lead in the Suraj Mudgal murder case.
Bye?
Salim!
You might think you are Anarkali's daddy!
But I am not just your daddy.
I am all of India's daddy.
And the people will not approve of you marrying a commoner.
You spoilt rich brat.
That is enough drama. Audience, out.
Salim, out. Come on.
Akbar! Sit down.
We need to talk to you.
Sir?
Brijesh, we know that
you were the one wearing the constable costume that night.
Just tell us why you ran away.
(tense music)
(phone ringing)
(Sehmat) Armaan.
Armaan, where are you?
Sharanya has sent you a video.
Sehmat, the case is cracked.
(theme music)
(doorbell rings)
I watched the video.
Thank you.
- (doorbell rings) - (door opens)
What are you all doing here at this time?
We are the Mumbai Police. We work 24x7.
Yeah.
(loudly) Come in, madam!
Is... is everything okay?
You could have called me. I would have come to you.
Or I could have had my lawyer call you.
Right, lawyer.
You should call your lawyer. It's a good idea.
I am sorry... I don't understand.
- What is the problem? - I... I will explain, but...
Please sit. It's your house after all.
(Armaan) Um...
Do you know what the first thing was that didn't sit right with me?
Knee pads.
(intriguing music)
He is wearing knee pads?
Yeah.
If Suraj Mudgal was coming to attack you,
he could have just done that.
Why would he wear knee pads?
Maybe it's because
he never planned on attacking you in the first place.
Exactly, he just...
- Sorry. - No, no.
Hmm.
He just wanted to help you impress Shweta.
(Sharanya) Right?
I am sorry. That's... that's ridiculous.
Is it?
"You have 10 seconds to comply. I have your girl's life in my hands."
You have 10 seconds to comply. I have your girl's life in my hands.
Remember?
College?
Suraj mentioned all of that in his BTalk.
(Armaan) Uh... if you want, I can explain further.
Okay. Um...
Suraj liked Mahira,
but he was a very shy guy.
So, he wasn't able to impress her.
He needed your help,
so the two of you came up with a plan.
I remember...
I had a friend who gave me an idea.
"You take a girl out on a date.
"And I will come to you with my face hidden and threaten you.
"'You have 10 seconds to comply.'
"'I have your girl's life in my hands. She might lose it soon.'"
And what did I have to do?
I just had to push him. That's it.
(suspenseful music)
(knife clatters)
The girl would be impressed, and she will be like,
"Suraj! You are a hero!"
Silly, right?
But it worked.
That girl was so impressed she ended up marrying me.
(Armaan) That is what happened.
And now that you have a new girlfriend,
or had one, whichever,
you reminded Suraj of the old days
and told him that you need his help
so that you could impress your girlfriend.
(Sharanya) And of course Suraj agreed.
Because who would turn down
an opportunity to relive their college days?
The original plan was a complete hit.
Obviously, the plan was a hit!
Sorry, you were saying...
No, you go ahead.
I am sorry. Please say it.
No, I will do it next time. You can go ahead.
- I just got excited. That's all-- - No, it's fine.
Just say it. Either of you. It doesn't matter. Just say it.
(playful music)
I will say it, but I said sorry.
Uh... as she said, the plan was a hit.
Obviously, from anyone else's point of view,
a billionaire lost his mind for no good reason and tried to rob you.
And you accidentally took his life while defending yourself.
(metallic thud)
While the truth is that
you planned everything and killed him on purpose.
Actually, um...
I am sorry.
You were obviously sitting there, right?
That is why it looks like that.
(clears throat)
Right.
Was someone else sitting with you?
No, I...
have been alone all day.
You don't wear ladies' perfume, do you?
I am sorry, what?
Do you wear ladies' perfume?
No, no, of course not.
Then who was sitting here?
(music speeds up)
Actually, one second. One second!
Why is this door locked?
This one. It's locked. Is there someone inside?
No, it's empty.
Can we check?
Uh... that's... No.
Bunty.
- Yes! - (Armaan) Yeah, please.
No...
Uh... Sir, you can't.
- That is private property. - Relax!
(banging against wood)
(Armaan) Bunty! You are dirtying the door.
Uh... Bunty, Bunty. One second.
Just look! Give me...
Give me something.
I don't work for you, remember?
Just see the mess he...
Sharanya... Come on...
(music speeds up)
- (foot bangs, door slams open) - (music stops)
(Bunty) Oh, my God!
Madam.
(tense music)
Uh... The affair that ended two years ago...
wasn't really over.
So, she...
she was obviously part of this plan.
And that was their motive.
If these two are still together,
obviously, Suraj was just a thorn in their way.
They made this plan to get rid of him.
That was a nice story and demonstration.
I believe you, but will the court believe you?
How will you prove all this?
That is the best part!
You see both of you were Suraj's friends, but you...
didn't really know him that well.
He was a perfectionist and an overachiever in everything.
He took this game as seriously as he treated his work.
He hired an actor
to play a police constable
so that he could get himself arrested.
You don't believe me, do you?
I can understand.
Ladies and gentlemen,
please meet the rising star of the industry.
Mr. Brijesh Gupta.
(playful music)
(Armaan) Brijesh saw you killing Suraj, so he ran away in fear, obviously.
The runaway constable?
Sorry, madam.
Actually, he is the one who told us everything about Suraj.
He has a very nice play.
You should see it. Mughal-e-Awesome.
I am working on my craft for now.
Come on.
You said something about proof?
Brijesh is ready to be a witness in court.
Uh... Arrest them?
Come on.
Get the handcuffs. They are going to jail.
- Let's go, come on. - Let's go, madam.
Come on, let's go.
(message tone beeps)
Armaan!
This is the entire amount Venkatraman owes you.
I know.
Keep it.
But take me back, too, please.
In your care.
Please.
I will think about it.
It's so much money. Maybe I should go on a vacation.
(constable) Ma'am, actually, we need to seal the flat.
Sorry, sorry. Let's go.
Uh, can you give me a wet tissue now? I will just quickly...
(Sharanya) Armaan, it's someone else's house.
(Armaan) It will take me just a minute to clean it.
- Sharanya... - Stop it.
(playful music)
Thank you.
- Are you done? - Yes.
Great. Now it's time to wash the dishes
because the maid isn't coming today either.
Uh, I will go wash my hands.
Cool.
(water running)
(playful music)
(playful music continues)
(music stops)
I know what you're looking for.
The other phone, right?
(intriguing music)
(phone rings)
(cop) Which cell do you want to see?
Santosh Bagchi's cell.
(tense music)
Is this a joke?
Where is Santosh?
You told me you wanted to see his cell.
You didn't say you wanted to meet him.
(phone rings)
Here.
Someone wants to talk to you.
(music intensifies)
Hello?
(distorted male voice) Mr. Jay Mazumdar.
There is no one in this world who remembers Santosh Bagchi.
So you should forget about him, too.
No more talking about him, understand?
Otherwise, there will be no one who remembers you either.
And be sure to explain that to Mistry, too.
(dramatic music)
(message pops)
(music intensifies)
