"Time... keeps ticking away" "It keeps changing" "Everyone travels with it... on a lonely path" "It has a relationship with everyone... and yet has nothing to do with anyone" "Time." "It flows like blood" "Kapil Sharma." "The city's top industrialist" "A financial genius." "A millionaire at the age of 34" "No sign of any forced entry into the house" "Everything is in order." "There's nothing missing" "No sign of a physical struggle either" "Kaushik... get a close up of this wound, please." "Sure, madam" "Finger-prints status, Dhingra?" "There's nothing to arouse suspicion, madam" "I think whatever prints we've got, are all his own" "You took in the rest of the room, Kaushik?" "I've taken it all in, madam." "Everything's normal" "We've searched the whole house, madam" "It appears tough to find a clue" "Not just tough, Satya." "It's impossible" "Dhingra, give me a torch, please." "Of course, madam" "Here you are" "Didn't you find any finger-prints even here?" "No trace of any finger-prints madam" "Not even those of the family or the workers?" "No, nothing" "See those shades of soil?" "Yes" "They don't match" "Know what, Satya?" "Switch both the paintings" "All right, madam" "But who could've swapped their places?" "You can answer that question." "If a member of the family... had changed their places, there surely would have been some finger-prints" "And that's something missing." "So what does it mean?" "The killer swapped them" "Found something, madam?" "Not found..." "it's been given to me" "But what is it...?" "What does the forensic report say?" "It's a 2.5cm deep injury, madam" "The murder was committed with a sharp object" "But what was it...?" "We don't know" "2.5 centimeters...?" "Find out what sort of weapon it could be" "All right, madam." "And... inform the doc too" "Sandhya Sharma." "Kapil Sharma's wife" "She's the one who informed the police about the murder" "At 1245." "She called from her cellphone" "Get a record of Sandhya's and Kapil's calls" "All right, madam" "By the way, we still have to record Sandhya Sharma's statement" "I'll pack your clothes at once" "Mrs. Sharma...?" "I'm ACP Malvika Chauhan from the Crime Branch" "We had something to discuss with you..." "But if there's anything you want to say to us..." "That one in there...?" "Oh yes." "That was Namrata" "Mrs. Sharma's younger sister." "Yes" "And that chap who was smoking was Rahul Pradhan." "A family friend" "Don't forget to record his statement." "Sure, madam" "Another thing..." "I know" "Believe everything, trust nothing." "That's what I've learnt from you" "Anjali, this is enough." "Mummy will be arriving any moment" "Take a wash." "Dinner's ready" "Just a bit more to go..." "Only two minutes" "Hi Mithu!" "Were you painting on the paper or on yourself?" "Look at what I've made" "But why haven't you painted this hut?" "I had run out of the red color" "Really?" "In that case, you could have used brown" "Brown...?" "No?" "You can use green." "But you'll first bathe and do all this later, my child" "Okay?" "Only five minutes!" "Five minutes?" "Yes, five minutes" "How did your test go?" "Very well" "They asked a general knowledge question and nobody could answer it" "But you answered it, right?" "Didn't I tell you?" "Nobody could answer it" "How is it now?" "Grandma called today." "Really?" "What did she say?" "Did she get there safely?" "Oh yes, Uncle had come to receive her at the airport" "Grandma said, you mustn't play too many video games" "Why?" "It ruins your eye-sight!" "And you keep sitting before the TV all day... doesn't that spoil your eye-sight?" "But I do my eye-exercises, Mama!" "I went to the opticians to have my eye-sight checked with Ravi Uncle" "They had an automatic machine there." "I could see a giraffe in that and..." "That's very good my child." "But have you done your eye-exercises today?" "Please hurry, Mama!" "Satya, we've only got to ask general questions" "We're here to get information, not testimony" "All right, madam" "You...?" "What can I do for you?" "Answer a few of my questions" "Mr. Kapil was a stickler for punctuality" "He could come in early to work, but he was never late" "We came first." "He used to say good morning to all the securitymen" "What has happened is terrible" "All of us liked him a lot" "He was hardworking and a very down-to-earth man" "You said something about his friends...?" "Ahmed, Vinit, Raghu..." "I'd like to meet them" "In a client's office" "About a month ago..." "And Raghu?" "Raghu Kotian" "Kapil's close friend and our legal head" "But he too is on leave for a week" "Some construction activity in his house" "For the last two years, I was secretary to Kapil Sir" "What?" "I've already told you!" "Kapil's personal files are the company's confidential records!" "I can't show them to you." "Only you can show them to us" "After Kapil's death, you are the boss of the company" "Sir..." "What is it?" "Go away." "Not now." "Later..." "Could you get me a cup of coffee?" "Without sugar." "All right" "As you were saying..." "Madam... if there's any other way I can help you..." "Those personal files" "You're playing the typical boss, with all your authority and power" "I'll play the typical cop now." "With all my power and authority" "Now look..." "are you threatening me?" "When did I...?" "I'm merely acquainting you with the truth" "In just a telephone call..." "See?" "It took two minutes for a cup of coffee to materialize" "In that much of time, we issue a warrant" "And you call our department slow." "Really!" "Another thing" "Apart from Kapil's files, I also want to take a look at your files" "I understand." "But can you tell me whether... whether you noticed... whether you noticed some strange behavior in the last few days?" "A fight or an enmity perhaps...?" "Enmity...?" "No, no" "He hadn't seen so much of life as to make enemies already" "This is strange!" "Everybody has something nice to say about him" "Looks like Kapil Sharma was the country's first millionaire saint!" "But his vice-president isn't a saint from any angle" "Have this sent to Bhatia in the Income Tax department" "Could Kapil Sharma have got to know of the vice president's embezzlement... and he had him...?" "Possible." "Anything is possible" "What about the murder weapon?" "There no intimation yet, Madam" "Nothing will come of it in the official manner" "But there is a man who knows everything about weapons" "Khatru-bhai" "Khatru-bhai, salaam aliekom." "Waliekom salaam" "How have you been?" "God is kind, Inspector" "Yes?" "I've got some business with you" "Everything except my integrity, I'll give you" "Look at this" "What weapon do you think was used for this?" "There's a saying in this area, my friend" "A weapon Khatru-bhai hasn't seen, hasn't been created" "Amazing" "I've never seen something like this ever." "A squeaky clean job" "Whether it's the angle, or the hit..." "That's all right, but can you tell which weapon was used?" "Find the one who used the weapon, not just the object" "Meaning...?" "Every man leaves behind a mark of his work... what do you call it...?" "Signature" "Yes, the signature style." "That tells you whose doing it was" "Looks like this chap has a very unique style" "He has thoroughly enjoyed doing it..." "he's an artist." "A real artist" "Do introduce me to him when you find him" "Please do" "We have all the weapons here except the one that was used in the murder" "Your take on it, doc?" "The diameter of the injury is 2.5 centimeters and it's 5 centimeters deep" "The weapon used was somewhat like this" "What's surprising is that the weapon used for the murder... wasn't handy in nature" "The angle Kapil was killed from makes it obvious that death occurred..." "Rafiq, will you step here please?" "Kapil was attacked from the front, like this and..." "Doc, are you sure he was attacked up front?" "Couldn't it have been from behind?" "I'm positive, Malvika" "An attack from behind, from the side..." "Even if it was for a second, Kapil saw the murderer?" "So why didn't he react?" "There is no sign of any struggle at the scene of crime" "Kapil must've known the killer." "And he didn't expect to be attacked" "This much time even Kapil must've surely had?" "No, Malvika, Kapil had no time to react" "How come?" "One thing we must remember" "The death occurred when the nerve here was ruptured" "It's called the jugular vein." "A cut in this vein... immediately stops the bloody supply to the brain" "In other words, immediate death" "The killer planned the attack with great timing and precision" "Doc, there's another thing that isn't clear" "Do you see the position of Kapil's arms?" "It's very odd." "The wound is on the neck, and his hands are elsewhere" "It appears as if the murder was committed somewhere... and the body was dragged to this place" "We found blood only around the body" "Otherwise, there wasn't a drop anywhere in the house" "Perhaps the murder was committed with another object... and all this was done to mislead us" "Thanks for coming here" "How is Mrs. Sharma doing?" "My sister's trying her best..." "she won't show her suffering" "My brother-in-law's death has had a deep impact on her" "By the way, how were your sister's relations with her husband?" "More than being happy, they were comfortable with each other" "Have you found any clue?" "We will" "Investigations are underway." "And what bigger clues than people?" "We've gone crazy trying to figure it out... why?" "My brother-in-law was a nice man." "He had no enemies... nothing has been stolen from the house either." "Jewelry, documents... everything is as it was." "This murder wasn't committed for money" "And that gentleman who was at your sister's house the other day... what was his name...?" "Rahul Pradhan" "Rahul...?" "He's been my brother-in-law's childhood friend" "Was" "What?" "I mean, you're a pretty good actress" "The way you talk, conduct yourself, your body language... you've been trained in the dramatic arts" "Yes, at the Arts Academy" "I'm sorry, you had to wait." "But I was saying my prayers" "Please be seated" "How are you feeling now, Mrs. Sharma?" "You called to say that you had something to tell me?" "Yes." "I was at the office yesterday... at about midnight, I received a call on my mobile" "He said, your husband is dead" "My immediate thought was that someone was joking with me" "Then I called up my place" "The telephone kept ringing" "I then tried to contact Kapil on his phone" "No one took the call." "The telephone kept ringing" "And then, I got home... and..." "Mrs. Sharma, rest assured." "I will do the best I can" "Hello, Madam." "Hello" "Here are the phone bills, madam." "Good." "Anything special?" "Special and strange, madam" "On the night of the murder, at five minutes past midnight... a call was made from Kapil's house to Sandhya's mobile" "The duration of the call was only five seconds" "What could anyone say in a matter of five seconds?" "Your husband is dead" "Sandhya's speaking the truth" "So it was the killer who called?" "Yes" "And immediately after the call, the killer disconnected the line" "I want all the details of this number" "I'm coming." "Ask him to wait" "Mithu, a holiday doesn't mean you'll sit before the TV all day" "But you too keep reading all day, Mama!" "You're the best police officer of India" "You've worked so hard to be that." "That I have" "To become an actress?" "Right!" "But why an actress?" "When I won the first prize... in school this year, I thought of becoming a leading lady" "I mean, an actress" "And you've already started working hard, have you?" "Like you, I want to be the best!" "You do say your lines well." "You will surely become an actress" "But don't forget to take a nap in the afternoon, Mithu." "Sure, Mama." "On one condition!" "What is that?" "You'll have to dance with me!" "But..." "You always come here" "Remember?" "This is where Vivek and I always came" "It's eight years since Vivek left me" "I was all alone." "And I wondered how I would take care of Anjali on my own" "But you always stood by me" "Not just you..." "I stood by Anjali too" "You stood by both of us" "I sometimes think that I take you for granted" "Anjali wants to go out..." "and she thinks of Ravi Uncle" "If Anjali needs a check-up, it has to be Ravi Uncle" "I'm a doctor, so it's my duty to do the check-up, isn't it?" "That's true." "But I still feel..." "Any news on the murder?" "What?" "Any news on Kapil Sharma's case...?" "How do you know about the case?" "Why not?" "He was India's financial wizard" "A renowned industrialist." "The case is being covered by TV and newspapers" "Now don't tell me that you don't know anything about it!" "No..." "And why not?" "You are India's top police officer" "Like the archer, you can only see your target." "Not where it grows" "Come up something..." "So Rafiq... found something?" "That's what I'm doing, sir" "Mrs. Sharma's statement matches that of her being in office, sir" "There's something I can't understand, sir" "The husband and wife have such a clean record, I don't think..." "Tea, sir" "But a murder has taken place, all right" "We'll find him." "We'll find the clues and the murderer" "Oh yes." "If the case is solved, we'll all get a promotion" "May I say something, sir?" "Madam too appears to be shaken up by the case" "She's always so tense." "She's deep in thought" "You and I only use our eyes." "But Madam sees things we can't even think of" "But Madam hasn't come in today." "Where is she...?" "She has gone to meet that guy who works in Kapil's office" "Please come..." "Fetch a chair" "There's a lot of confusion around... will you have something?" "A bit of your time." "That's all" "It's difficult to get this job done" "If you don't personally take care, everything could be messed up" "Contractor!" "That wall was supposed to be ready yesterday!" "So what's up?" "You guys will do nothing unless I ask you to!" "Get on with your work!" "All right, sir" "You were saying something" "Were you working in Kapil Sharma's company?" "Yes." "We were less boss and employee and more of friends" "Kapil was the Managing Director, owner... whatever you called him" "I looked after his legal department." "But you know that already" "You have my statement." "You've been on leave for a week?" "And here's the reason." "Home." "Sweet home!" "If I knew it would be such a nuisance, I'd never have got into this mess" "What cement are you using?" "What?" "The cement." "For the construction?" "I have some work to be done in my house too" "Anyway, when was the last time you met Kapil?" "Maybe we met in the office." "Maybe, or did you really?" "You're in the legal profession." "You do pay attention to every little detail" "We had a great relationship." "I'm shocked at his untimely death too" "I'm terribly angry with the killer" "Because I'm a lawyer, I have mentioned every little detail in my statement... that could have anything to do with this case" "As for the rest...?" "That is not part of the statement?" "A lot of things remain unexpressed some times" "If there is something fit to be told..." "See you again" "Take a look" "It's only technical jargon" "So much of data, and yet nothing to be told" "One sweet-lime" "For me, a chilled Thumps Up" "You still remember my favorite combination?" "You have other favorites too" "Like some dead bodies and a lot of tools..." "Even after all the tests, we still know what little we already knew, Malvika" "The death was caused by a cut in the jugular vein at midnight" "At midnight?" "Are you sure?" "The death was caused because the nerve was ruptured" "He was neither poisoned nor did he suffer a heart-attack" "Another strange thing." "Whenever someone is attacked with something... you find fine particles of the object in the wounds" "This knife, for instance." "If someone were attacked with this knife... fine particles of the knife's chrome plating would be found in the wound" "That is something you can clearly see in the tests" "But in Kapil's case, there's nothing" "There are no fine particles in the wound on his neck... nor is there any foreign trace available" "I've never seen a thing like this in my entire career" "Did you know I was here?" "Yes." "Inspector Satya told us" "We even tried to reach you on your mobile, but maybe it was switched off" "Satya said that you could be here..." "I had to pick up something of mine..." "It's your house" "We've met." "Yes, the other day" "Are you coming from the office?" "Yes." "I have a business of my own" "Of electronic items." "In Worli" "Well... have you found out something?" "I have set out on a journey." "I will also find my goal" "Shall we...?" "Have you got what you wanted?" "Yes" "You may leave..." "I think I've found it." "What?" "What is it?" "Apart from dust particles, there's something else on the mat" "Madam, the number you gave me..." "It's Raghu Kotian's" "Did you know that?" "Yes" "But not what you are going to tell me" "Madam, in the last three months..." "Raghu has spoken to a single number for three or four times in a day" "And that number belongs to Mrs. Sharma." "Sandhya Sharma" "One thing, Madam." "As we know... when Sandhya got home after the murder... she informed the police at 0045 A.M.." "Whereas, she called another number before calling us" "Raghu Kotian." "At 0043" "She spoke to him for a minute and 25 seconds" "Which means, Raghu Kotian was the first to know about the murder" "That is, if he didn't know about it already" "You were right, Malvika." "The samples of cement from Raghu's house... and the one on the mat, matches hundred per cent" "Which means, the cement being used in Raghu's house... got to Kapil Sharma's house, through his shoes." "On the foot mat" "Give Raghu Kotian an invitation to visit us" "Very well, madam" "Look Mr. Raghu Kotian, you are only wasting your time by staying mum" "You are wasting my time, Inspector." "I have already given my statement" "I know." "And the statement doesn't say that on the day of the murder... you had visited Kapil Sharma" "Do you want me to tell you what time you had been there, or would you...?" "Inspector, if you are so sure that I had gone there... then it's your job to find out the answer" "I know my job too well" "You only got to decide if you want to tell me or get shifted to another cell" "Whether I wish to speak or not, is my choice" "I'll fix your rights and lefts." "Get that?" "Look, you can't use force on me" "You have no idea what I can do" "Want me to show you a sample?" "I know you have the right to stay silent" "I'd rather talk" "In concealing the truth, you see your own gain" "Obviously not ours nor the court's" "However, the reason you are doing all this... is not giving you anything" "Mr. Raghu Kotian... you are a competent lawyer." "So you know what evidence means" "It'll hardly take me any time to prove your affair with Sandhya, in court" "The phone records alone can prove it" "Water?" "Another thing." "Traces of cement were found near the scene of crime" "Which match the cement that's being used in your house" "You were present at Kapil's house at the time of the murder" "Despite your legal expertise..." "I'll have to put in lots of efforts to lose this case" "I dearly love Sandhya" "I did not commit the murder" "It's true that I had been to Kapil's house that morning" "But I didn't kill him." "I haven't..." "He's going to change his statement." "Statement...?" "But he just confessed." "All we got to do now... is to trace the weapon." "We've found the evidence and we know the motive" "Raghu was there at the crime scene" "After the murder, the first call Sandhya made, was to Raghu" "Finally, Raghu is supposed to gain the most by Kapil's death" "It's an open-and-shut case, madam." "Only the weapon is to be found" "Satya..." "Yes madam?" "He's only giving his statement." "He isn't confessing" "Take down his statement." "Let me apply some force on him" "He'll break down." "Then he'll tell me about the weapon he used... and where he has concealed it." "Concealed?" "Out of question" "Because, like Kapil, the weapon is no longer there" "Beats me" "What is your body made of?" "Flesh, bones..." "And water" "Our body is seventy percent water" "Right madam." "Read that back in school" "Water was used to murder Kapil" "Solid water." "Ice" "He was stabbed with a knife made of ice" "Which is easily available in a freezer of some old refrigerator" "No need to hide it" "It leaves no trace after the job is done" "Because ice melts" "Madam, it's going to weaken our case... if we fail to find the weapon." "Exactly" "That's the reason ice was used as a weapon" "Not on impulse, it was a premeditated murder" "We don't have the weapon." "If Raghu doesn't confess in court... he'll be let off, madam." "You're right." "He won't confess" "Satya, when he hasn't committed the murder... the question of Raghu's acquittal or punishment doesn't arise at all" "Caught in the hysteric storm is a wallowing boat" "In the wallowing boat is an ecstatic Laila" "Laila's eyes, pearls" "Laila's body, treasure" "If you want her, fight the tempest" "Hey lover, if you lose courage, you will drown and die" "Hey lover, if you get scared, you will drown and die" "But if you hang on, the fleeting storm will abate" "And then Laila is all yours" "Don't lose your senses, folks." "Laila will send you in to a tizzy" "Don't be so noble hearted..." "Laila is evil" "If she heals, she kills too" "If she is elixir, she is poison too" "Who knows if she is God's Angel of Mercy or Destruction?" "Life is at her mercy..." "that's the killer Laila" "Caught in the hysteric storm is a wallowing boat" "In the wallowing boat is an ecstatic Laila" "Who's there?" "Your next scene, madam" "Ritika Sabharwal." "Age, 25" "Looks like she was murdered after the shoot." "There were people around... but nobody heard anything" "Any strangers?" "About 200 people were on the sets" "It's hard to find out who was outside the unit" "That's what the assassin took advantage of" "Dhingra...?" "No fingerprints, madam" "Madam, she was an inspiration to young actresses." "In just 3 years... she bagged one national award and gave countless hit films" "What's your name?" "Bansi" "I'm a production assistant" "Why are you so cross?" "That swine thinks he is a great hero" "Who?" "Rocky!" "The rogue just wouldn't leave Ms Ritika alone" "Last night he went to her make-up room and scolded and ranted at her" "The swine was threatening her" "He's the one who killed her" "Please don't spare him" "Thrash him..." "Rocky is the playboy types, madam" "There's one complaint against him every six months" "Have you informed Ritika's family?" "Her father wasn't available" "I have informed her nanny." "She is the one who reared Ritika" "Nanny?" "Yes" "If the situation gets too sentimental, you take the lead, Satya" "Right, madam" "Police." "Now what?" "The police was here a while ago." "We know" "We've come from the headquarters." "Got to make some enquiry" "Come in" "Is Mr. Vinayak in?" "Yes" "I'm Rajrani, but they call me Biji" "The master is completely shattered" "One moment" "Come on in" "I'm ACP Malvika" "I'm really sorry for bothering you at the wrong time" "But it's important that I talk to you" "So please..." "If you could tell us something, it'd help us solve this case" "He's in a shock at the moment" "Ask me what you have to" "I will tell you." "Please be seated" "Did you ever feel Ritika was in some sort of trouble?" "Who's ever spared of troubles?" "Ritika was a sweet girl" "Even as a kid, she was so intelligent... and so pretty." "Who knew... that she'd leave us one day?" "She was my master's only daughter" "He brought her up" "And then one day, Rocky... that actor..." "he saw her on stage" "He liked Ritika so much that... she was offered films..." "soon she started winning awards" "Rocky used to frequently visit us" "We were obliged to him" "What more do I say?" "Then he expressed his desire to marry Ritika" "We considered him a nice boy" "But he turned out to be a scoundrel of the first order" "He had all the vices." "Gambling, wine, women!" "Didn't you refuse the alliance?" "Master turned him down on the face" "But the scoundrel that he was... he spoke nasty things about Ritika" "He was quite a pest" "Ritika asked her father not to worry... and said that everything will be all right soon" "How were we supposed to know that we'd have to see this day?" "Thank you" "That man is under terrible shock." "He could speak not a word" "But his eyes speak... much" "That man has endured a lot in life" "Another thing." "Study both the cases and find out what connects them?" "Both?" "You mean Ritika's and Kapil's cases?" "But what's common in both the cases?" "You will tell me that, Satya" "You mean me?" "I mean this corpse" "It's an interesting case." "Interesting?" "How so?" "It's murder" "Four millimeter copper wire was used" "Very sharp wire." "Attack from behind" "D'you see this scratch on the make-up?" "It's the effect of the strain when one is being strangulated" "Anything else?" "She was murdered around 3 o'clock" "The blood test came clean" "That's all" "You knew Ritika since three years?" "Right" "In fact, I got her into the movies" "That means the two of you were very close" "For me, she was just an actress" "Where were you between 230 and 300 yesterday?" "On the set." "But you had no scene yesterday" "So what was a busy man like you doing there?" "I had some work." "Anything else?" "These are tickets to Switzerland." "Yours and Ritika's" "And the hotel reservations too." "Royal Travels were the agents, right?" "Despite your pleading and pleasing, Ritika refused to travel with you" "Another thing" "In future if you want to threaten someone, make sure you speak softly" "Thanks to you, too." "What for?" "Had you come early, how would I have made the surprise gift for you?" "So there is a surprise gift?" "I want to see it right now" "Where...?" "Over here?" "Now close your eyes." "All right." "Here I go" "Now" "I baked it!" "She didn't even let me touch it." "She made it all on her own" "Mama couldn't have had a better birthday, could she?" "I love you, sweetheart..." "Life's moments... these moments... of life" "Every joy, in this moment... these moments of every joy" "That your lips part... they appear to smile" "In every breath you take..." "I feel I have lived my life" "These moments of life... life's moments" "Happiness, joy..." "these moments... of every joy" "It will be done" "How are you?" "I'm all right" "But news nowadays isn't right" "Police in the grip of murderers" "Sir, I know what you're getting at." "Very soon, I'll..." "That very soon ought to have happened, Malvika." "But it didn't" "And you're seeing the consequences" "I have studied both the cases, Malvika" "In Kapil's case, you have undoubtedly done a very good job" "There wasn't a clue, and yet you laid it out bare" "But what then...?" "There's all the evidence against Raghu, but he's walking freely everywhere" "You haven't arrested him" "There is evidence against him, but it's all circumstantial" "He's a suspect, Malvika." "But he's innocent, sir" "All that we see needn't necessarily be the truth" "For how long can one conceal what is the truth, Malvika?" "And what makes you decide that Raghu is innocent?" "This murder was committed by a very intelligent man with serious planning" "If Raghu had committed the murder... why would he talk to Sandhya immediately after the murder?" "A murderer as brilliant and intelligent as this one... would not make such an elementary mistake, sir" "Not in Kapil's case and not in Ritika's" "Meaning?" "Sir, this killer, during both the murders..." "One killer?" "Ritika and Kapil's murderer is one and the same person" "Both the murders were committed by the same man" "Malvika, are you telling me that you're just guessing... that the murders were committed by one and the same man?" "I can prove it, sir..." "In both the cases, you have the evidence and the motive" "And you've even found out what weapon was used" "On whose basis you can very well arrest Raghu" "The truth is that I'm not convinced Raghu has committed these murders" "When the police department has all the evidence... it becomes our job to solve the case" "The case can't be stalled because someone is convinced or not" "Who's innocent and who's guilty..." "is for the court to decide" "Let the court do its job, you do yours" "Till now, you have no solid evidence, Malvika... to prove that it was the same man who committed both these murders" "Which means Raghu and..." "Rocky, sir" "You mean, Raghu and Rocky are both suspects" "You have the evidence." "Yes" "Hello, Madam." "Hello" "Sorry, Madam." "No links" "We checked everything, but there's nothing connecting..." "Ritika and Kapil's murder." "Bank, college, lifestyle... hobbies... we checked everything." "They had nothing in common, Madam" "Perhaps not in life, in death they surely are related to each other" "Very well, Madam" "Rafiq, have arrest warrants issued in the names of Raghu and Rocky today" "Very well, Madam." "Because today is a Friday... the warrants can be issued only till 5 P.M.." "Yes, Madam" "It's 430 right now and there is bound to be a terrible traffic-jam today" "I get it, Madam" "If there is no traffic-jam, I'll cause one" "631...?" "That's the duty room's number" "Did anyone call from here just now?" "This one?" "It's dead since yesterday" "It's still dead" "It's dead, Madam" "I'll be back in a moment" "One extra red color please" "You wanna die...?" "That's the whole truth." "There's nothing more" "I'm telling you the truth, sir." "We won't let you speak lies" "But, sir..." "I swear!" "It's the truth" "We heard that." "You know whose pictures you were taking?" "Yes." "ACP Malvika Chauhan's" "You know what sort of guys ask you to take secret pictures of the police?" "Do you know...?" "I'm unemployed, sir" "For a photographer, 12,000 rupees for just a few day's job?" "Believe me, sir." "The rent of the house, the phone bills..." "Maybe they're shady characters, but..." "Maybe you think..." "Who were you working for?" "Sir..." "You don't know?" "I mean, I don't know him" "I've never met him before." "I never saw him" "He came home one day and gave me an advance 3,000 rupees." "He asked me to do this job" "When did you meet him again?" "I haven't met him yet, sir" "Well...?" "How do you deliver the photos?" "He's going to call today" "He'll tell me where and when to deliver the photos" "Madam, we'll tap his call." "He won't call" "Call Albert and have a sketch of his made" "All right, Madam" "He looks like this?" "Yes" "Ahmed, I've sent the fax" "It's necessary to find this man." "Will be done" "Urgent." "I want the name, address his background... everything" "Sir." "It's very urgent, Ahmed" "Mohammad Suleman, alias Suleman-bhai" "Aged 40." "A contract killer." "Involved in 17 murders... but there wasn't solid evidence even in a single case" "So he has never been arrested." "Has been in remand thrice, that's it" "I found out from my underground contacts, Madam" "He studies his target minutely... and leaves no clue during the murder" "And they say, once he takes a job, he always completes it" "I think he's the one who killed Kapil and Ritika, Madam" "There was no evidence..." "everything was so blurred" "Another thing, Madam." "Although the murders he committed weren't proved... they were done in a very strange manner" "What is clear is that this man takes pleasure in committing the murders" "It seems to give him a strange sort of peace" "The manner in which Kapil and Ritika were murdered, it's obvious that..." "Where will we find him?" "Ganga Nagar." "Mehboob Chawl" "The murder took place at approximately 6 A.M." "He was struck in the chest with a heavy object" "The ribs were broken which punctured his heart" "We've found that there is no gang involved in Suleman's murder" "So who could have killed Suleman?" "And your pictures in his room...?" "Give me the pictures of the three victims... hurry up" "Here you are" "At what time was Kapil murdered?" "Midnight" "At midnight, where are the needles of the clock?" "Both are together at the top" "Like this?" "Look at the victim's hands" "And Ritika...?" "At 3" "One needle of the clock was at the top and one was sidewards" "Like this?" "Yes, Madam" "And Suleman was murdered at exactly 6." "Right?" "One needle at the top, the other at the bottom" "Which means all the three murders were committed by the same man" "With these killings, he's paving the way for us" "What way, Madam?" "Perhaps a way to take us to himself" "In every killing, he gives us small clues" "You only need to stop them" "At Kapil's place, the hint was made at the clock" "The position of the victim's arms... and the sound of a clock ticking away on my mobile" "He's playing with time" "All these murders have been committed by the same man" "With perfect planning and in the same pattern" "Look at the time." "Midnight, 3 and 6... that is a pattern which might perhaps continue till it is stopped" "Which means, he'll continue to commit murders in the same series 12, 3, 6... and 9?" "All it means, gentlemen... is that he's a serial-killer" "No, it reminds me of something" "It was an old case..." "of 1979" "There was this police officer in search of a serial killer..." "Madam, the officer the doc spoke about..." "I have all the details of the case" "Mr. Vinayak..." "He's waiting for you." "Please come in" "Please be seated" "Pick up any card" "Thanks" "Tea." "Oh yes, thank you" "Yours." "King of Diamonds" "It's an easy game." "You've got to get just a few steps ahead" "The one who's playing this game with you is always two steps ahead" "He knows every move you are going to make" "There's just one way of defeating him" "Get to know his next move" "In this game of cards, I got to know beforehand... which card you are holding" "I had won this round even before it had begun" "But why's he doing all this?" "To win." "What?" "Only he knows why" "There's something that means so much to him... that he's even committing murders." "What reason could it be... except insanity?" "He's not insane" "Man is called insane when his brains stop working" "But his brain are racing far ahead" "Must be a great reason why..." "People like him... don't think like you and me" "When a common man commits a murder, the motive is often personal... betrayal, love or money" "But serial-killers are far removed from such mundane feelings" "They use their victims like a ladder to get where they want to be" "Because reaching their goal is far too sacred for them" "How come you have such knowledge about serial-killers?" "You're standing today where I stood 23 years ago" "A police officer... in search of a serial killer" "And the truth is that I was defeated, just a few steps away from victory" "It was only a few steps away" "He turned and looked back at me when he was running away" "That smile on his face... it broke my courage and my faith in myself" "It was as if my life had come to a standstill right there" "And he was never caught" "Four years later, he committed suicide" "I tried so much to forget that face" "But even today, that face neither lets me live in peace... nor does it let me get any sleep" "The game I couldn't win, you must win" "For the sake of the police department... for the sake of Ritika" "This is a game between you and him" "He knows you very well..." "and perhaps, you don't" "Isn't it a possibility that I know him too...?" "and have also perhaps talked to him?" "Undoubtedly" "So why's he acting like a stranger?" "For him, this is merely a game" "A game he has conceived and set the rules for" "Once the rules are set, they are set" "He won't change them for anything in the world" "To win the game, you must understand his rules" "And beat him at his own game" "There's just one way of beating him." "Get to know his next move" "For him it's merely a game, a game he has conceived... and set the rules for" "You must understand his rules and beat him at his own game" "Did you send for me, Madam?" "Yes, Satya." "Are the files complete?" "Yes, Madam." "I completed Suleman's file only this morning" "Madam, congratulations." "What happened?" "I just got to know that orders have been passed for Madam" "Orders?" "Of a promotion." "For madam, that is" "Are you sure?" "Yes, sir" "Madam, congratulations" "I told you, if you get a promotion, you'd be the youngest DCP, Madam" "It'll be a record, Madam" "Didn't I say you're the best officer in the country?" "The three of the them were the best too" "Kapil was the most renowned and famous industrialist of the country" "And Mohammad Suleman was the best in his profession..." "And... all three are dead?" "Meaning...?" "Is Madam next?" "Look at your face?" "I'm so worried about this case..." "So much, Malvika?" "Let's go out." "How can I leave all this and...?" "Malvika, nothing doing." "Get up, let's go" "But where are we going?" "Wherever." "No one works like this" "But how can I leave all this..." "Malvika..." "Over-work kills efficiency." "Know that?" "Surprising that I have to tell you that" "I'm working on the case, too." "But certainly not like how you are" "You got to take a break..." "Let's go to a restaurant and grab a bite" "You'll feel better." "It'll also be a change." "And I'm so terribly hungry!" "I think you're right." "That I am" "You remember that Hindi proverb?" "Behind every successful woman is a man" "You know, the government is talking about communal harmony nowadays?" "They say, live in peace, don't fight... if something like that happens, we'll be out of our jobs" "Let's go to a MacDonald's outlet." "I don't feel like going to restaurants" "What will you eat?" "What?" "What will you eat?" "You were right, doc." "Behind every successful woman, is a man" "But hurry up." "I've got to rush to Head Quarters." "Now!" "Let's go!" "Will this do, Madam?" "Not this one, Satya." "Give me another" "This photo, Madam?" "Mohammad Suleman?" "Couldn't find it here, Madam" "I'll look in the store" "Doc, during an investigation... the most insignificant of things can reveal a great secret" "Like this one." "The specs." "Look carefully" "All three victims wore glasses." "Although not all the time... all three had a weak eye-sight." "You see?" "Madam, I couldn't find anything." "How couldn't you, Satya...?" "One thing is in common in all the three murders" "All three wore glasses." "Ritika, Kapil and Mohammad Suleman" "And... all three got their glasses made at the same opticians" "R.K. Opticals" "Hello, sir..." "I mean, Madam" "Do you read the newspapers?" "Pardon me...?" "Which newspaper do you read?" "Well..." "Navbharat Times and sometimes, The Times of India" "So why didn't you tell the police about these three murders?" "Murder...?" "That..." "What will you have?" "Tea?" "Coffee?" "A soft drink...?" "Only your reply." "I see" "To be honest, I didn't know anything about these three murders, Madam" "I realized only yesterday that all the three victims were my customers" "I mean, they were." "So why didn't you tell the police?" "What could I say?" "There's violence and bloodshed all the time in the city" "And as you know, all that police harassment..." "I have a wife and kids at home." "How many employees work here?" "One is Kamalkant, the other is Kavita and there's Javed" "Kamalkant... did you know all the three victims, customers?" "Yes, I knew all of them but Ritika was the only one I spoke to" "How come?" "She used to come here even before she got into films" "So I knew her" "She liked the way I talk..." "that's what she said to me" "Really?" "She liked the way you talk?" "Yes." "Very nice." "What else did she say?" "Nothing much." "When she had to wait some time... she used to talk about the movies" "Kavita, are you the one who maintains the customers' data?" "Yes, sir." "I entered the details in the computer every day" "When there wasn't the time, I did it the next day" "You must have a record of your customers, isn't it?" "Yes, Madam." "The address of the customers... when they visited us and for what purpose, we have computerized records" "I want the records of the last three months" "What...?" "Any problems?" "No, it'll take some time." "It's all in separate..." "Please get started." "Very well, Madam" "Satya, I'll have my eyes checked and return in a minute" "Javed, I want to check my eyesight" "Look into it" "You must've heard about the murders." "Of course" "You must've felt weird because all the three were your customers, no?" "Coincidence" "Someone has rightly said that we are all travelers of time" "You, I, everyone" "The checkup is over" "Thank you" "Your power is perfect. 6/6." "But you got a weak eyesight" "Madam, there's a problem" "What is it?" "He says we can't get the data today" "Why not?" "Bad floppies." "Got to get new ones" "It'll take only half-hour, madam." "Please be seated" "Have you interrogated everyone?" "Yes, all the three." "Three...?" "But Javed is absent today" "Rafiq, get a unit to Saki Naka." "R. K Opticals" "Madam, any problem?" "Did I say something wrong?" "Javed is not present?" "No, he's suffering from something..." "Migraine." "Right, migraine" "Madam, let's block the exits I have informed other units" "No good, Satya." "I just didn't see his face" "What happened, Anjali?" "Ravi...?" "Relax, Malvika." "Nothing's wrong." "What do you mean?" "She slipped while playing." "Just a little sprain" "Where, dear?" "On my ankle" "Still I've taken an X-ray" "I'll get back as soon as I get the reports" "And yes Miss ACP, you don't need to worry" "Because I'm on this case, and this station is mine too" "Hurts a lot, dear?" "Not anymore" "Not anymore, eh?" "My brave sweetie" "Mustn't bend your leg." "Straighter... better" "Shall I watch TV, mom?" "There's nothing else to do here" "All right, but not for too long." "Okay?" "Mama, you must take some rest too" "I'll be back in a moment." "Got to make one phone call" "I've spoken to her." "Anjali is better now" "Nothing serious I hope?" "Not at all" "Get all the records and come over" "Right." "And get my laptop along, please" "How are you feeling, dear?" "I'm fine" "I think that the laptop and the packet is for you" "You mean I can move out?" "Watch it, Anjali." "Easy, dear" "There's no fracture but let me check" "Slowly" "Hurts?" "Here?" "A little" "A little, no?" "Little" "She's fine now" "Shall we go?" "Where to?" "You go your way, and I go mine" "Meaning?" "I have to examine a patient... near your house." "I'll drop Anjali." "Besides, she's got to buy something" "Mama, I have to make a chart on wild animals, got to buy shoe-polish... and then I have to..." "You'll drop her home..." "are you sure there's no problem?" "Shall we...?" "Easy, child" "Bye sweetie" "Satya, lift the surveillance off Raghu and Rocky" "We've found the assassin." "Well...?" "Using those records?" "Right, Satya" "Three victims and one assassin among 1700 customers" "And the three victims had identical power." "Minus 2.0" "On the day of their murders, all the three victims... had visited R. K Opticals for some reason" "The assassin had been there too" "It means, one man, before the murders... went to the optician under some pretext" "Of the 1700 customers, on the days of the murders... only one visitor was common." "Amod Parekh" "First murder at 12, second at 3 and third one at 6" "Sorry to say, madam, but this Amod Parekh seems to be interesting" "It's a well thought of plan" "That thinking is his habit, he's enslaved to it" "That habit is what we're going to break" "Drive to Vasant Nagar." "Right, madam" "Excuse me... is this Vasant Nagar?" "Yes sir." "Where's 8/40?" "8/40...?" "There's no 8/40 here" "What do you mean?" "In block 8 there are only 25 flats" "No number 40" "Sir, I've been here for 20 years now." "Want to check it out?" "No need." "He's right" "Amod Parekh!" "What...?" "D'you know Amod Parekh?" "Very closely." "He's an old customer" "What does he do?" "Strange..." "I never asked him" "Madam, had you come a minute earlier, I'd have introduced him to you" "He just left" "Madam..." "Look at this..." "Shahbad Hussain" "India's famous musician." "He's got a concert at Jahangir Fort" "He was here today." "What's the power of his eyes?" "It's 2.0." "No." "Minus 2.0" "The best musician." "Eyesight, minus 2.0." "And who was here Satya?" "Amod Parekh" "First one at 12, second at 3, third at 6... and..." "Next one at 9" "So Shahbad Hussain's time is up" "We have only one hour." "You know Amod very well, right?" "Yes, I have met him so many times." "I want all information about him" "Get his sketches made, then trace him down... and put Rafiq on the job, quick" "I want this man." "Right madam" "It's nine, madam." "Impossible, Satya." "This can't be" "We have no..." "Amod Parekh should've been here" "I hope our calculations haven't gone wrong...?" "I mean, he must've seen through our plan and changed his idea" "Possible" "Not possible, Satya" "How long are we to wait, madam?" "Amod's sketch is ready" "I want this man, Satya." "Right madam" "Yes?" "D'you know one Amod Parekh?" "Amod Parekh?" "Who is he?" "You'll have to wait here for a while." "What...?" "Mr. Hussain, your life is in danger" "Please wait here for sometime." "You...?" "Perfect?" "Yes" "Found anything?" "Many Amods here." "Get the sketch, Rafiq" "One minute." "Go back" "One more" "40/..." "This man is very dangerous." "We've found his address" "He had written 8/40 but his real address is 40/8" "He's very cunning." "He's playing a very close game" "Check the address." "Take two units along" "We'll raid it, but there's no time to assemble units" "I'll go there with Rafiq" "No movement outside" "We're going in" "No one here, madam" "Madam, there's a packet here addressed to you" "Bring it here immediately" "Right madam" "Someone is coming, madam." "Let him" "Miss ACP... you can come out" "ACP Malvika Chauhan" "Amod Parekh" "Finally, nice... to meet you" "Why did you do all this?" "To meet you" "A top, and intelligent officer like you... a common encounter with you is no fun" "It's a cigarette" "Killing innocent people for no reasons" "Only to meet me?" "I'm sorry" "Not for no reasons." "Everything has a reason" "You can't justify a wrongdoing" "Wrongdoing?" "What's wrong and what's right... only he has to decide who has the courage to decide... and who has the self-confidence and the drive" "And who knows that better than you?" "If I was your enemy, why didn't you come to me directly?" "I have no enmity with you, madam" "And as for coming to meet you... you know that there's a time for everything" "Like Kapil's 34 years" "At such a young age, he achieved so much" "No flaws, apart from a pretty wife who had a illicit relationship going" "It took a lot of time finding out such a situation" "Then, Ritika." "Obvious suspect was Rocky" "I was a little careful with the third murder" "Because I knew you were after me" "So I thought of giving the game a twist" "Since you were after me, I planned to set someone after you" "How's the idea?" "I had implicit faith in your capabilities" "I was confident... that before Suleman could get you, you'd get him" "And it was proved" "But his time had come, so I had to... kill him" "With every murder, I paved the path... for you to reach me" "In every step you took, I helped you" "At every place, I left behind evidence for you." "Only for you" "At Kapil's, over the paintings" "I called on your cellphone from the police telephone line" "Murders, foretelling time" "So many clues" "You overlooked nothing" "I know" "All these people..." "Kapil, Ritika and Suleman... were targets of Time." "Time gave up on them" "Know why?" "Because I hold the reins of Time" "As you can see, here too... it was I who called you here" "Reason?" "Year 1994..." "Indian Police Service examination..." "One candidate, in every round... every exams, interviews..." "topped every test" "You know that person, ACP Malvika Chauhan" "Because you are the one" "In another batch, there was another candidate... who bettered you in every aspect" "But he couldn't become a police officer" "Because the medical reports failed me" "Reason, the power of my eyes." "Minus 2.0" "Even after topping all exams, I was thrown out" "In one shot, all my dreams were blown apart... shattered" "I had no reason to live" "Although I knew I was the best in every aspect" "You couldn't become a police officer, so you gave up on life?" "In his defeat, lies man's greatest victory" "I'm still the best" "And after this night, the world will acknowledge it" "Would you like to tell me how I'm going to prove it?" "Naturally, by defeating the sharpest... the greatest and the most capable officer in the country" "As I said before, I have no personal grudge against you" "I'm only playing a game with the best police officer" "And, by calling you here, I have won this round" "You have lost this round" "The question is not about who reaches whom first" "What matters is, the assassin has confessed to his crime... and is standing right before me" "That's point number one." "The second..." "It's Satya" "Let him come" "Satya, you are two minutes behind schedule" "Anyway, thanks for bringing the packet" "You were saying something" "Second point." "You were supposed to be here at nine" "Amod, it was past nine long ago, and you..." "On schedule" "In time to wrap up the game I started" "The game is over, Amod" "After committing three murders..." "Hang on, one minute" "Not three." "Five" "Five...?" "Hold me responsible for five murders" "You think you and I will...?" "No, Amod Parekh" "The police force is mean to protect lives, not for taking lives" "Obviously, your life too" "ACP Malvika Chauhan..." "I'm sorry, but you failed to beat me" "Your eyes!" "They tell you that I'm standing right before you" "Yet, they have deceived you" "I told you that your eyesight is perfect. 6/6" "But your insight is poor" "Satya, call for you" "I had told you about the time of the next murder" "Nine o'clock" "But unfortunately, your insight didn't tell you the right place" "There was another visitor at R. K Opticals whose eyesight was weak" "Minus 2.0" "But you failed to see the entry in the register" "Anjali" "Your daughter" "She had been there with your friend Ravi to collect her glasses" "Know what?" "I had been to the new ice-cream parlor with uncle Ravi" "Anjali." "A smart officer's smart daughter" "An ideal daughter" "The true legacy of a mother's faith" "That's what he wants." "That's his aim" "He wants to prove that he's better than you" "Madam, please" "He wants to craft the endgame with his death and your defeat" "He wants to show the world that he is better than you." "Don't shoot him" "Anjali was dead sure that her mother would come in time and rescue her" "Unbreakable faith" "But unfortunately, like passing time, her mother too abandoned her" "Anjali" "What a sweet kid!"
