Shai.
Were you sleeping?
Yes.
So, tell me what the protocol is.
Protocol?
Yeah, about this extramarital affair between us.
I've never done it before.
Extramarital affair with your wife.
Confusing, isn't it?
I have to go.
Shai.
You're up early?
Couldn't sleep.
One sec.
Four murders in five weeks.
What does the Crime Branch's investigation say?
Nothing special.
The first victim was murdered last month.
The second one, two weeks later.
A week later,
victim number three.
And now Monica Dhar,
five days later.
This is how he arranged
the belongings of all the victims.
He's saying something.
The rate at which he's committing these murders,
he's not just a serial killer.
There's something else at play here.
Your nightmare is back to haunt you.
Mandar Naik is awake.
He hasn't said anything yet,
but soon he'll be conscious again.
And then...
Good for him.
And for you?
You know what he's going to say, right?
He's a liar. He can only lie.
Stay away from Mandar, Rudra.
You'll be running the investigation from the SCU office from today.
You can't step out until further notice.
Come on, boss. Look at her.
It'll happen again.
Soon!
If you do as I say,
you'll be able to help, Rudra.
Or else
I'll be forced to put somebody else on the case.
The bodies of the first three victims
were found in Wadala, Mulund and Dadar respectively.
The bodies were found quite far from each other,
but all found in industrial areas.
Crime Branch claims that the killer is either a delivery van driver
or he's pretending to be one.
After scanning through the CCTV footage
of the past month from these sites
and questioning more than 2,000 drivers,
this is our suspect pool.
35 vehicles, 18 small vans,
2 commercial vehicles,
7 taxis
and many private vehicles.
There will be two teams,
one led by me.
We'll focus on the murder committed yesterday.
And the other team will be led by DCP Rudra.
His team will operate from the office
and focus on the existing evidence,
and keep ruling out unidentified vehicles
and unidentified people from the suspect pool.
It's a textbook case, sir.
After committing the first murder,
he goes into a guilt phase for a few weeks.
But the urge to kill rises again.
And he commits another murder to satisfy that urge.
Another guilt period.
And then it becomes a vicious cycle.
The first murder is all about guilt.
The second to overcome fear.
By the third, he starts to enjoy it.
Now he's having fun.
But, sir, there must be a trigger.
Humiliation
of any kind.
Inside the house
or outside.
It's a deep wound.
He's trying to wash it with blood.
But the rate at which he's committing these murders
is very unusual.
Smoke?
No, I don't, sir.
Yeah.
Did you not see my name flash on your phone screen?
Or do you only see it when you need me?
A serial killer's on the loose in the city.
Mandar Naik is awake.
I'm under surveillance.
Why?
They're afraid
I'll kill him.
Again?
You're obsessive but not stupid.
So...
what will Mandar say?
Doesn't matter.
Four murders within a month and not a single suspect.
The entire city is terrorised.
Our correspondent tried to speak to the public,
and they are pretty scared.
Who is this serial killer
who's only targeting women?
-How long will... -Mahesh.
...this reign of terror against women continue?
Happy birthday to you.
You remembered?
How can I forget?
Here.
Take a look.
Take it.
It's...
It must be expensive, Mahesh.
Forget that.
Wear it.
Look...
How does it look?
Yes...
-Mahesh. -Yes, it's beautiful.
Gorgeous.
-Please listen. -It's as if it was made for you.
Mahesh... not now. Please listen.
Mahesh.
Now, now...
Now!
Mahesh,
I just got back from work.
So?
What is this?
Playing a jigsaw puzzle.
By cutting up the information of victims and suspects?
It's called the cut-up technique.
If you cut up any text or picture
and arrange it in a new pattern,
you can see things in a different light.
Sometimes one should do the same with life, too.
Cause of death confirmed.
She was also strangled to death.
No forensics, no witness.
I met her family.
One mother,
one sister,
and a boyfriend.
Isn't the boyfriend a suspect?
No.
He was working the night shift.
I confirmed.
I showed him all the items found near Monica's body.
There's a necklace missing,
which he gifted her two years ago.
She wore it all the time.
It's missing.
Anything else missing from the other victims?
Then why the necklace this time?
Happy birthday, dear Rashmi!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday.
Thank you.
Why was she walking?
And alone?
She went to the pub near her house
to meet up with her friends
to plan her wedding party.
She was happy, was in her locality.
Then how did the killer get her in the van?
Sudden attack?
She was passing by the van;
he opened the door and pulled her in.
Any reports of screaming or signs of struggle?
Or traces of a chemical agent?
There must be something.
I'll leave.
-At least have some dessert. -No.
If I don't work,
how will I buy these gifts for my wife?
It's your birthday.
Enjoy a lot.
That's all the dessert I need.
Look after your sister-in-law.
Of course, Mahesh.
I'm there.
Her birthday gift is stunning.
I gave her another birthday gift.
Broke the sofa.
She screamed.
But I didn't stop.
Just the way she likes it.
She'll have trouble walking today.
No.
Look after her.
Of course.
I will.
Maybe Monica knew him.
Trusted him.
All four victims knew him?
All of them trusted him?
Thakur...
why do you trust me?
Because I know you.
What if you didn't?
Then...
I would've trusted you
because you're a cop.
A lonely girl on the street,
in the middle of the night...
A lonely girl...
In the night...
Trust.
He drives a taxi.
Rudra.
Rudra...
Rudra!
Madam.
No thank you.
-I don't need a taxi. -Madam...
My home's close by.
It's not about the taxi, madam.
A girl was attacked on GD road, madam.
What are you saying?
I don't have much information,
but the cops think
he's in this area.
They've warned taxi drivers to keep an eye out.
I saw you walking alone
so I thought I should tell you out of humanity.
Where do you stay?
On Jarwin Road, thank you.
But that's...
Madam, that's
further ahead of GD road.
Madam, get in.
It's okay.
I'm not carrying cash either.
-Thank you. -Don't worry about the money, madam.
Please get in.
If anything happens to you,
I'll never be able to forgive myself.
And my wife will definitely not forgive me, madam.
-Get in. -Okay, fine.
Let's go.
Mandar's calling out your name.
People do that in love.
More importantly,
we found this.
On Sultan Road,
approximately 2 kilometres from Monica Dhar's body.
Is that Monica?
Please tell me we've got his number plate.
Number plate, driver's licence,
address, phone number.
Everything.
Thakur is tracking his phone's location.
Found him.
Go get him.
Rudra.
Please.
Tell the unit to overtake him.
Take the left turn, yeah.
Hey, you took a wrong turn.
Sir,
you're taking the wrong route.
Get down!
Sunil Prajapati,
you're under arrest for being connected to Monica Dhar case.
Take him away!
Are you okay?
Anybody, please help!
What's wrong?
In a bad mood?
You said he's impotent.
Yes...
He was
until two weeks ago.
Is he seeing a doctor?
Is it necessary to talk about him?
Can't it be about the two of us here right now?
He knows.
About us.
He knows, Rashmi.
A dead body was found on the road.
A man out for a morning walk saw and reported it.
Over.
One more.
Even this one's got a solid alibi.
He was in Borivali during Monica Dhar's murder.
He also got booked for breaking a signal.
He's not a murderer.
Which means there are two taxis with the same number plate.
Getting a fake number plate is easy.
Look.
We saw the same number plate last night.
I found the same taxi on different CCTVs.
One thing felt strange.
He was heading towards Mahim's Khambata Road,
which is a one-way street.
When he realised that,
he took a U-turn and drove off.
What does it mean?
Every taxi driver knows the one-ways.
So?
So, he's not a real taxi driver
or maybe he used to be.
Then where did he get a taxi?
Ma'am, most likely it's a second-hand taxi
or even older.
And a new number plate every night.
It means he's virtually impossible to trace.
The time between his victims is reducing.
A fire has broken out in there.
A fire's broken out in that room.
Run, run.
Hurry up. Run.
Get everyone out of here.
Hurry up.
Hurry up, everyone.
Go, go.
Listen.
A fire has broken out in the general ward below
and people are stuck.
Please help.
Sorry, Doctor.
I have orders to stay here at any cost.
I wouldn't have bothered you, but people can die.
I will stay with the patient; you go.
Where?
Downstairs, second floor. Hurry up.
-Please be here. -Yes, I'll be here.
Hello, Mandar.
How's my boy doing?
Shh...
Don't take his name,
or else the demon will eat you.
All the taxi drivers are on this list.
Retired, fired from the job,
ones with criminal charges
or with a cancelled licence.
Match them with the suspect list.
Yes. And...
23, sir.
He must be one of these 23.
Find the best match.
Hello.
It's me.
What do you want?
Dinner but your treat.
What for?
For repaying your debt.
What debt?
I gave a final touch to the job
you couldn't complete.
What?
Someone was dragging you into the darkness.
I pushed him into the darkness.
What?
Why?
You'll realise when you breathe freely outside prison.
When you get to go to work and sleep with your wife peacefully,
then you'll realise why!
I didn't tell you to do this.
Are you going to arrest me?
You've committed another murder.
But you can't arrest me,
because you told me to kill him.
When did I say that?
When you were trying to frame me for my parents' murder.
Are you recording this call?
I've got many other records.
If I can do this for friendship,
you have no clue what I can do in hatred!
So, you better show me some gratitude!
I did it all for you!
For you!
Ungrateful man!
Stay away from me.
You can get back to me. Yeah.
Yeah.
Bye.
May I?
Stressful day.
Five women have been murdered.
And soon
probably another one.
There's been one more murder.
Your confidante, Mandar Naik.
How?
It's either an intelligent officer like you who can tell us that
or...
his murderer.
Coincidentally, there was a fire in the hospital,
in the general ward.
By the time it was put out,
Mandar Naik was found dead
in the special ward.
But CCTV?
Coincidentally,
the control room's power line was off,
all CCTVs were turned off.
But there was a constable assigned for him.
Who was removed from his post.
By a young,
gorgeous
female doctor.
She was heterochromatic.
Sorry?
Heterochromatic.
Both eyes are of different colours.
But an interesting fact is
no heterochromatic doctor works
in that hospital.
Maybe
she dropped a contact lens.
One more "maybe."
Do you know anyone who wants to kill Mandar Naik?
More than a hundred.
And I'll begin with
the parents of the victims.
But why would they wait for him to wake up?
Sir, you're asking the right questions
to the wrong guy.
Only time will tell.
I'll see you.
Hi.
What do you want, you freaking lunatic?
Want to beat me up again?
What I'm going to say
will hurt more.
I don't want to listen to you.
I just want you to stay away
from my life.
Why is everyone telling me the same thing today?
You're crazy.
You know that, right?
Just... just go.
Willing to take the loss?
I don't want any benefits from you, okay?
So, just...
I'm not a liar like Shaila.
Oh, really?
Shaila doesn't secretly plan attacks on others.
The place she's secretly attacking
is more painful.
You too must have realised.
Why don't you ask her?
You must have felt it by now.
All okay, sir?
This is the best match from the shortlisted suspects.
Mahesh Dubey, 47.
Dubey used to drive a taxi a long time ago.
After which he worked at a garage at the Race Course.
Was?
He was fired two months ago.
Why?
He was a decent employee,
but later he started drinking and
started behaving inappropriately with the customers.
How long did he work there?
Six years.
-Any records of the taxi? -No, sir.
Neither he nor his wife
have any record of any taxi under their names.
Pick him.
I'll tell Gautam.
He'll go to his house with a warrant.
And what if he's not there?
Attack his weak spot.
Rashmi Dubey.
Prabal Thakur.
Special Crimes Unit,
Police.
Police?
What's wrong? What do you want?
Is Mahesh Dubey your husband?
Yes.
We'd like to ask you a few questions.
You'll have to come with me.
I'll go keep this stuff in the bathroom first.
One minute.
Yes, Rashmi.
What have you done?
What?
Why are the police here?
Police?
What do they want?
What have you done, Mahesh?
Have you been stealing again?
I didn't do anything.
Nothing at all.
-What have you done? -Give me the phone.
Hello! Hello!
Hand the phone to Rashmi, asshole.
Hello!
Have you lost your mind? Motherfucker!
Asshole!
Motherfucker!
Asshole!
Motherfucker!
Do you know where Mahesh was
on Friday night?
We'd gone out, sir.
It was my birthday.
Were you together the whole night?
Not the whole night.
He had gone to work.
Where?
He works at a garage.
Mostly towing old vehicles.
Taxi.
Rashmi...
Mahesh was fired from the job two months ago.
You didn't know?
Sorry, sir.
Thakur, I...
It's urgent, please.
Be seated. I'll be right back.
I have some more questions for you.
Be seated. I'll be right back.
Was the timing right, sir?
Perfect.
Is she fine?
She knows something is off.
You're cruel, Rudra.
Has to be done, boss,
because he's not going to stop now.
What is this, sir?
What is this?
What has he done?
Rashmi, get up.
Can I have a drink, please?
Sure.
There's something
I want to talk to you about.
You...
You already know.
Doesn't matter.
Of course, it matters.
Why didn't you say something?
I thought
I don't have the right.
Of course, you have the right, Rajiv.
Don't say that.
If you feel that
you left Rudra for a reason
and that reason
has been sorted now, then it's fine.
He loves you.
I love you, too.
But...
I guess what matters is
whom you love.
Right?
Think about it.
Take your time.
You've been with this man for 20 years.
I don't want to live with him, sir.
I even packed my stuff and left one day.
But then he slashed his wrist.
He called me before calling the hospital.
I want to ask you
some personal questions.
They'll sound strange,
but I don't mean to embarrass you.
Is it about the ladies' purse?
Tell me about that.
He used to steal purses.
I didn't understand why.
What did he do with them?
He would sniff them...
and touch himself.
I'd feel disgusted.
I thought I lacked something.
Do you know he kills young women?
It's not my fault, sir.
What's not your fault?
It's not my fault, sir.
Rashmi,
what's not your fault?
When I take a shower,
he checks my phone.
I'd forgotten to delete a message.
He read that message
and found out about your relationship.
What's his name?
The one you have a relationship with?
Rashmi?
What's his name?
Rashmi, what's his name?
Mahesh?
Rajender Shukla.
Tell him to get out of there immediately.
His life is in danger.
Call the nearest police station.
House number 203,
Worli Village.
He's punishing the world for his wife's betrayal.
The real target is his wife.
But since she's in our custody,
his next target is her lover.
-He's not answering his phone. -Give me the file,
-and try the other number. -Yeah.
Last call from Rajender's number?
"Friends Massage Parlour."
It's a prostitution hub.
Has he ever called there before?
One second.
No.
This means Rajender is dead.
Find the number of the girl who's going to his house
and send it to me.
Rajender?
Pooja.
Rudra,
one unit is arriving there.
If we try to get in forcefully, he will kill her.
Then what do we do?
Target his weak spot.
Boss, I need to be there.
This is your time,
but we had discussed--
Yes.
Rs. 5,000
Thank you.
Can I...
Phone?
No.
Take it.
Go on.
Hello.
Pooja Shashtri,
keep smiling.
This is DCP Rudraveer Singh.
Keep smiling and listen to me carefully.
Yes...
I've reached
safely.
Good.
Pooja, can you get out of the house?
No... seems difficult.
I'm with a client.
We're on the way; keep him busy.
Keep yourself safe somehow.
Yes,
don't worry.
I'll call you back.
Okay.
Can you give me your bag?
Huh?
Hey!
Open up!
No.
-Open up. -No.
Open up.
Help!
Sir.
That's Rajender's house, sir.
Do you have the key?
Help!
Let me go!
Pooja!
Somebody help me!
Do you know what I do with the likes of you?
Do you?
I'll get you, bitch.
Please!
Help!
Hey, hey, hey.
Mahesh.
Who is it?
Mahesh.
Hit me.
Why did you stop?
See...
what you've done to me!
Somebody help me!
-Help me! -Yuck.
This is who you are.
She doesn't love you.
No matter how many girls you kill,
she will never love you.
You're impotent, Mahesh.
Impotent.
Are you okay?
