(English Rap Song)
'To the white folks, I am Sherlock.'
'For the locals, I am Byomkesh...'
'And to my mom and dad,
I am a desi detective,
carrying the curse like the rest of them.'
'Though I may not seem like a talker to you,
but in my mind, I never shut up.'
(Gunshot)
'A good detective does not find the key,
instead he uncovers the right lock.'
'The solution is always in front of you.'
'The real kick is solving the problem
and making a reel on the crime scene.'
(Intro music kicks in)
'Just like I solved my latest case here 20 minutes ago.'
'With my AMAZING team.'
(fingers snapping sound) (Police sirens blazing)
'Officer Danny...
who can single-handedly cover the enemy from all angles.'
'And Officer Olivia--'
'The good cop trying to survive in a world full of bad guys.'
'She's stuck playing this twisted game of Fear Factor.'
'Because thanks to me, poor Razia...'
'I mean Olivia got caught up among the bad guys.'
Guys!
(Intro continues)
Who the hell are you, huh?
(heavy metal clanking)
(Cameras clicking)
This is the biggest kidnapping racket bust in years,
and you solved it in less than a week.
How did you do it?
How did you narrow it down to this particular gang?
And how did you track them here?
Thank you.
Detective Sherdil,
what is your next case going to be?
A suitcase.
I need a vacation, guys.
(Party Song)
'And this is my life's golden strategy.'
'Cracking big cases
and treating myself to small getaways.'
(Party Song)
(Warning siren playing)
Danny...?
Is it only me, or do you see Olivia too?
Olivia?
-You see her? -I do.
Run, Danny.
(Glass shattering sound)
Unwanted drama, Detective.
There was no need to run.
The moment I saw Olivia,
I knew my vacation was cancelled.
Take it easy, Detective.
No one is cancelling your vacation.
Just postponing it.
By the way...
I am gonna sue you for harassment.
Sherdil...
Just hear the case.
If you don't think it's up to your standards,
you're free to go.
(A subtle, thrilling tune fades in)
Start explaining.
What are we waiting for?
(Door opening sound)
(Energetic background music plays)
I am out.
Sherdil...
Let him go, Barry.
I was obviously wrong. He still has an attitude problem.
(Tiger growling sound)
Are you listening to this, Danny?
Guys, relax. Please.
I have an attitude problem?
That you do, madam.
Let's not point out each other's flaws.
Let's just keep it professional, okay?
And maybe relax a bit.
Sherdil, it was Natasha who wanted you on this case...
Oh, so it was your idea!
Sherdil, leave.
Your vacation is approved. We'll manage without you.
No, I am not leaving.
You said I can decide after hearing the case, right?
So, I will hear it from her,
reject it.
Then I'll leave.
(Exhilarating music starts playing)
(Motorcycle engine sound)
The assassination of Mr Pankaj Bhatti.
(Music continues)
'An ordinary telephone exchange engineer from Hungary
who in forty years becomes the boss of Stellar Telecommunications
a company worth 60 billion.'
'And the most successful business personality of Europe.'
'On the afternoon of 25th July,
when Mr Bhatti was headed to the airport...'
(music builds up)
'On a deserted street—
a man rode up on a bike.'
'Shot him and blew up his car.'
(Continuous gunshots)
(Tyres screeching)
(Explosion sound)
Mr Bhatti's family consists of four members.
'From Pankaj's lawyer to his wife
and now the CEO of Stellar Telecommunications...'
(Dynamic intro music playing)
'Mrs Rajeshwari Bhatti.'
(Music continues)
'A true boss lady.'
'Pankaj and Rajeshwari have two kids.'
'Angad Bhatti.'
'The owner of Stellar Palaces.'
'A self-made man using his father's money.'
'Unlike his father, Angad is less of a businessman
and more of a socialite.'
'Just like his wife Elizabeth.'
'Once a small television actor,
now a billionaire wife.'
'A modern-day fairytale.'
The only humble and modest person in the entire family is...
(Soft music playing)
'Shanti Bhatti.'
'Pankaj and Rajeshwari's daughter.'
'And the apple of Pankaj's eye.'
'Maybe because she's too nice.'
'Or maybe because like her name...
she's deaf and mute since birth.'
(Music builds up)
There are two other members in the family.
Pankaj's live-in brother-in-law Mr Bodhi.
Apparently, he's a glorified gardener.
And the other is Rabbit Bhatti...
who is actually a dog.
But we also uncovered some strange facts.
'When the killer shot Pankaj and blew up the car,
his driver Jaipal was not in the car.'
We only found Pankaj's body.
Jaipal has been missing since that day.
Who is he?
The man on the bike.
So we have to find this killer?
No.
(Adrenaline-pumping music)
'Luca... arrested 24 hours after he killed Pankaj.'
'High on cocaine.'
(Music continues)
(News playing on TV)
'afternoon on the outskirts of Budapest, telecom industry giant Pankaj Bhatti...'
I killed that man and I didn't even get paid for it!
Hello. Police Station.
This is an open and shut case.
Why are we even here?
Because this case is not about the murder.
The real agenda of this case is something else.
When Luca killed Mr Pankaj Bhatti,
the car was conveniently parked...
on a totally deserted road and had no CCTV cameras.
So the location of the murder was pre-planned.
And the driver Jaipal has been missing since the day of the murder.
Maybe he was also involved.
Luca probably killed Bhatti,
but someone else ordered the hit.
This is a planned murder.
And there is only one true motive
behind killing a personality like Mr Bhatti.
- MONEY! - (Coin dropping sound)
This case is not about his murder.
It's about his will.
'When his lawyer Mr Branson read the will
after his cremation...'
'It was shocking.'
'He left 10% of his property, estate,
and assets to Bodhi
and 10% to Rabbit.'
'And the remaining 80%...
to Purvak.'
(Sudden jarring music)
Who is Purvak?
'Shanti's boyfriend.'
'And Pankaj Bhatti's accountant.'
The lone outsider in the entire Bhatti family.
Even he's deaf and mute like Shanti.
And is now also missing like Jaipal.
A billionaire who was killed.
And his killer gets arrested within 24 hours.
When his will is read, the family gets nothing.
And the guy who gets everything goes missing.
Wow.
Guys, this is a classic...
Whodunnit.
What does this mean? Is he in?
- He is. - (Dynamic music plays)
He told me to pick him up but started without us.
(Intro music kicks in)
(Car engine sound)
(tyres screeching)
Sherdil.
Good morning, folks.
You guys seem mad at me, huh.
Couldn't get any sleep last night so I turned up early.
Let's go together now.
- Let's go. - (Car engine revving)
Hey...
(Intro music continues)
Did he get the 10%, Danny?
If it was up to me,
I wouldn't give him 10%.
(Dog growling)
I will give him 100%.
Detective Sherdil.
Please, follow me.
(music continues)
As per your request,
we're here to investigate the case, Mrs Bhatti.
There's nothing to investigate in this case.
A boy we mistakenly accepted as part of the family,
killed my husband, forged his will
and is now on the run.
Catch him and the case will be solved instantly.
I don't see Bodhi ji around.
He's on a tree plantation drive.
He'll be back in two days.
Actually, the misunderstandings
arising from dad's will since his passing
is really affecting the company's share prices.
We humbly request you to solve this case
as soon as possible.
We have millions of shareholders
and we have certain responsibilities towards them.
I agree.
There's been foul play in this case.
But we need to uncover who is behind this foul play
and how many are involved.
So, I've a humble request that
you must all cooperate with the investigation.
The more you cooperate, the sooner we'll crack this case.
But, until then...
no one leaves this house.
You must be joking, Detective.
You are doubting us?
We're doubting the money, Mrs Bhatti.
After all, it's a forged will worth 60 Billion Euros.
My great-grandfather used to say something for cases like this...
What would he say, Danny?
'When it comes to love and money...
no crime is too small.'
'When it comes to love and money, no crime...'
It's my father you are talking about...
Detective.
I understand he's upset, but...
being an experienced lawyer you know,
we have to follow protocol.
House arrest?
It's important, Mrs Bhatti.
For the investigation and everyone's security.
Feel free at home, ladies.
Let's go, guys.
(Intro music plays)
(Gunshot)
'Up next, in an irritated Natasha's fiery voice,
a popular song from Govinda and Raveena's film Dulhe Raja—'
'Ankhiyon Se Goli Maare (shooting from the eyes)'
'Enough telepathy...'
'Natasha's going to explode in 3-2-1... Boom!'
'What the hell, Sherdil? House arrest?'
'Seriously?'
'You could have at least let us in on it.'
'You have gone ahead and done this.'
(Natasha speaks rapidly)
(Car tyres screeching)
I love irritating her.
'A person's family is his strength and weakness.'
"That's a lot of money."
'Could Pankaj Bhatti still be alive?'
(Camcorder switching on)
Those are some nice pearls, Mrs Bhatti.
I hope you don't mind the camera.
Helps us keep track of information.
Would it matter if I did mind?
Your colleague—
what's his name?
Sher-gill? Dil?
He'll just slap us with a new court order.
Before the forged will...
One minute.
Have you had any luck with that boy Purvak?
Let's begin.
Before the forged will,
what was your share
in Mr Bhatti's will?
One percent.
Actually, I think you don't even deserve that much.
Thirty percent.
And how was the relationship between you and your husband?
It was a marriage.
I need you to be precise.
Good or bad?
Good.
We don't think so, Mrs Bhatti.
This is a personal matter.
I recommend you stick with the evidence.
Nothing is personal in a murder investigation.
As your wife,
I'm entitled to your entire empire.
- Don't forget. - Yeah, right.
Only a loyal wife deserves that.
Pankaj, this won't hold in court.
Don't forget I am a lawyer.
That's very good. As an ex-lawyer
you would know
how divorce proceedings take place.
This time I will be sending you the papers.
You two were getting divorced,
since you were having... an affair.
What made you cheat on your husband?
Are you married?
Why does anyone have an affair?
Pankaj had time for no one except for his business.
Certainly not for me.
I was bored.
And everyone has their own needs.
Emotional.
Physical.
Fair enough.
Then...
why didn't you get divorced?
Because I chose this life over my happiness.
I ended the affair.
And Mr Bhatti forgave you?
We've been married for 40 years.
After that long, a husband-wife relationship
is just like two siblings.
You share the same bed, not as lovers.
(Mouth organ sound)
But as companions.
(Mouth organ sound)
And then... these little affairs...
You just get over them and move on.
(Mouth organ sound)
Obviously.
(Gunshots)
'The son is just like his mother.'
'No one's offering tea or serving juice.'
'Natasha's throat is getting dry.'
'Danny's mouth is watering.'
'Anyway.'
You have a pretty good aim.
After dad's death,
this sport has been like therapy to me.
I know.
If 30% of the will was given to you...
Assuming that was your share,
what would you have done with it?
That is a very silly question, Detective.
Obviously, I would have invested it in my business.
That's a silly answer, Mr Angad.
Your business is currently facing significant losses.
How many times will I bail you out?
As a son...
you are very dear to me.
But when it comes to business, you are one bad investment.
Dad, you know the situation of the market.
Every business is in loss.
It's not the market...
It's not the business. It's you, Angad.
You.
And you better take that responsibility.
Celebrity wife, your expensive parties, your fancy holidays.
Your lifestyle has clearly taken priority over your business.
Dad... my reputation is at stake.
Come on, Rabbit. Move.
Can you bail me out this one last time?
Dad...
Please.
My great-grandfather used to say...
Yeah, great-grandfather...
'It's a burden
to be the underachieving son
of an over-achieving father.'
Must be... pretty frustrating.
You are absolutely right.
That's the kind of relationship I shared with dad.
Losses in business,
married to a foreigner.
I am the black sheep of the family.
(Dramatic rising music)
His entire love was reserved for Shanti.
How is your aim?
Could you?
(Gunshots)
Do you know why you missed?
Because your focus was on the guy
releasing the plates instead.
Don't waste your time here.
Focus on finding Purvak.
The case will resolve on its own.
Pankaj never fully approved of our marriage.
And did that make things unpleasant between the two of you?
Oh! No.
Not at all.
He was very good to me.
Very progressive that way.
If you ask me, I'd say it was more of a father-son thing.
So you mean...
things were sour between them.
I mean, I wouldn't go that far.
Pankaj wasn't an overtly emotional man anyway.
The only person in the family with
whom he shared a genuinely close bond was Shanti.
(Bell ringing sound)
(Shanti echoes in background)
(A dramatic rising music)
Dad was my life.
And Purvak was my trust.
After Purvak came into my life...
I am the one who suffered the most in this tragedy--
Just a second, please.
Falak ji.
We are not guests here.
This is an official investigation.
Please don't enter without permission.
You could have had anyone.
So why Purvak?
(Clock ticking sound)
(Music continues playing)
It was my biggest mistake.
Being a rich dad's disabled daughter...
is a bigger disability.
It takes a lifetime to find a purpose.
That's why I started the NGO.
(A loud thud echoes through the room)
- 'We first met at my NGO.' - (Music intensifies)
'To the world, I was specially abled.'
But to Purvak,
I was special.
He instantly changed my outlook...
and my life.
I hope your doctor knows
what you are doing with these pills.
I need it.
(Slow tense music plays)
'I invited him home to meet dad.'
'He ate like he'd never seen food before.'
Like a glutton.
He was a misfit at that table.
It was like a circus show.
I would say we were disgusted.
After dinner, he crossed all limits.
Like a cheap roadside palm reader,
he started giving unsolicited advice.
'He told dad to do all his big deals on Saturday.'
'He told Eli to add three extra E's to her name.'
Elieee.
If you ask me, I think he was a superstitious idiot.
He told us his lucky number is seven.
And ours is 10.
(A clock bell tolls)
'Allow me to narrate the rest of the story.'
'In this millennial Mughal-e-Azam,
the king was poor and the queen was rich.'
'When he was summoned after his meal,
poor Salim thought it was time for dessert.'
'But sneaky Akbar gave him a heartburn instead.'
'He made a quick U-turn and exited.'
'I mean left.'
'Akbar got busy tallying the accounts,
with his 3 Idiots pen.'
'But soon Salim returned with his Bae Anarkali.'
'And said your father is trying to buy me
with a post-dated cheque in the age of UPI.'
'It's an insult to me.'
'Anarkali's expression was a clear indication
that it's the beginning of a drama.'
'He eased into his chair sipping on his single malt,
knowing fully well that alcohol consumption is injurious to health.'
'Meanwhile, Salim continued that I came here for you
and not your money, Anarkali.'
'Because... I love you.'
'This was a solid blow to Akbar's ego,
and in return, he gave Salim the one thing
the rich love handing to the poor.'
'Job. Job. JOB.'
Starting tomorrow, you will...
work for me.
How is that?
'Instead of love, Salim got placement.'
'Instead of a son-in-law, Akbar got an accountant.'
'And Shanti got everything but peace.'
'#Lifesucks'
Dad hated him.
He used to treat him worse than an insect.
'You wouldn't even treat your enemy this way.'
'Painful to look at.'
Pankaj's intention was never to test him.
'But to break him.'
But people like them are relentless.
Nothing affects them.
You should know...
you mean the world to me.
But this outsider you picked...
I've serious doubts about him.
Anyway, this is your life.
It's between you and... Purvak.
Okay?
Alright?
I love you.
'That day I loved my father even more.'
And what did Purvak do?
That bastard...
killed my father.
(camcorder switching off)
Folks.
(Door opens)
(Door closes)
(Tense music)
(drawer sliding sound)
(Intro music plays gently on the mouth organ)
What do you think, Sherdil?
Feeling sad for them.
Poor guys.
Excuse me.
Excused.
Would you be needing anything else?
I am leaving for the day.
- No thanks. - English breakfast... please.
Sure.
By the way,
I am sorry if I was rude inside.
It's okay.
Hey!
When is Bodhi ji expected back?
No one knows the exact time.
But everyone will know when he returns.
And what do you think about Purvak?
(soft music playing)
'The only interaction we had was that I served him tea.'
DOES IT HAVE GINGER?
What was he like?
He was quite the gentleman,
but this one time...
(A sudden sharp music)
'Bhatti sir insulted Purvak in front of Shanti madam.'
(Music builds)
IF HE HADN'T BEEN SHANTI'S FATHER, I WOULD HAVE...
(Gunshot sound)
Thank you.
Let's go, guys. We are not guests here.
(The metallic clanking of prison bars)
I am not gonna tell you anything!
I'm a third-generation assassin.
I've killed more people,
seen more prisons than the cases you have solved.
No, you're just a junkie white boy.
An amateur
who killed someone to finance your cocaine addiction.
Do you even know who you have killed?
The shit you are in?
(Adrenaline-pumping music)
(Church bell sound)
Luca, they have eyes on you.
And now, you will never meet your own family.
Sad.
I don't need your help, fella.
You need mine.
Enjoy your coffee.
Detective!
(Intense high-energy music)
(Car engine sound)
We found some important leads.
A few years ago, the man started three shell companies.
In Cyprus, Dubai and Taiwan.
Small sums were regularly deposited.
But if you club them together,
the monthly amount was nearly two million.
And what was that money being used for?
Tracking those transactions is difficult.
It's gonna take time, but I'll do it.
Purvak has a friend—Jayesh Bhai.
A small-time commission agent.
Purvak's visa, the apartment he rented was all him.
- Bring him in for questioning. - We can't.
Even he's missing like Purvak.
Something twisted was going on between them.
Twisted?
The man would change apartments every 21 days.
Last known location is a mystery.
So we'll have to find Jayesh along with Purvak.
Also this guy.
He shared the apartment with Purvak.
The boy in the hoodie.
His name is not on the rental agreements either.
And now, even he is...
Missing!
Any leads from Luca?
Yes.
Jaipal has been found.
(Dramatic rising music)
What happened that day?
Luca killed my boss.
(Motorcycle sound)
Hey...
(Continuous gunshots)
And how did you get here?
I don't know
why Luca brought me here.
But when he was tying me up,
Purvak was also here.
Purvak!
Did he get arrested?
(Thunder roaring sound)
'He killed my husband,
forged his will and now he's on the run.'
'Focus on finding Purvak.'
'The case will resolve on its own.'
'His lucky number is 7.'
'The guy would change apartments every 21 days.'
'I think he was a superstitious idiot.'
'The lone outsider...
in the entire Bhatti family.'
'Focus on finding Purvak.'
'The case will resolve on its own.'
'Shanti's boyfriend and Pankaj Bhatti's accountant.'
'Last known location is a mystery.'
'His lucky number is 7.'
'He was a superstitious idiot.'
(Tense music kicks in)
'His lucky number is 7.'
Seventh street.
'The guy would change apartments every 21 days.'
Twenty-one days!
(The sound of a heavy thud)
I found Purvak.
Let's go.
(Door opens)
(Door closes)
Natasha. Natasha, I found Purvak.
Found Purvak. Come on.
(Tense music continues)
Have you lost it? It's 3 AM in the night, Sherdil.
(Car engine revving sound)
Remember what Mrs Bhatti said.
His lucky number is 7.
You said he was changing apartments every 21 days.
(Car tyres screeching)
Look at the pattern of his rented apartments.
He always rented an apartment in the third building of every street.
And each apartment was on the seventh floor.
He would follow the same pattern after every 21 days.
Same streets apart, third building-seventh floor.
Genius.
(Door opens with loud thud)
(Door opens)
We are late.
Look at this.
These definitely don't belong to Shanti.
Wow...
he's a pretty twisted guy.
Have a look at this.
He had already planned his escape.
Was booking a ticket to Greece
for himself plus one.
The other ticket was for some Kiran.
The guy who lived with Purvak.
But why Greece?
It's an accessible hub that provides easy access to any country
in Europe, Africa or the Middle East.
The booking was for the same date,
when Pankaj was killed.
Most importantly...
the account he was using to book the tickets,
was opened 10 days before Pankaj was killed.
And as we already know...
(cellphone ringing)
He was also handling the company's account.
Hello.
(Car tyres screeching)
(Door opens)
Sherdil, you are late.
We did your job for you.
The prime suspect of the case...
(Tense music kicks in)
He came here to kill us.
What are you waiting for?
(Camcorder switching on)
You went back for this?
Did you forge the will and
kill Mr Bhatti?
'Until now, it was only a murder.'
The actual mystery has just started.'
(Tense music continues)
Whatever you say here,
it will decide your fate, Purvak.
So think twice before you answer.
I have already said what I had to.
I killed Pankaj Bhatti.
I have nothing more to say.
Very good. Very honest.
Let's clear a few more doubts with the same honesty.
Let's assume you killed Mr Bhatti.
Why did you run as soon as the will was changed to your name?
(Intro music kicks in)
You opened a new account 10 days before Mr Bhatti's death.
Why?
And your friend— What's his name?
Jayesh.
And the guy in the hoodie...
Where are they now?
(Music continues)
Guys.
(Police siren)
(Car door open)
(Car door closes)
(Music intensifies)
The lady was walking her dog.
She's the one who called.
And look at this.
(Car tyre screeching)
Think of the devil and the detective arrives.
Welcome.
(Music continues)
Terminate the house arrest now.
We've work to do.
We have responsibilities
and this is highly inconvenient for us.
I am sorry.
That is not possible.
Why?
You have the case's prime suspect and his confession.
What is the problem now?
Today we found a dead body in the woods.
Your driver... Jaipal.
(Cutlery drops)
Purvak and Luca are in our custody...
But there's another killer who is roaming free.
The guy in the hoodie.
And the house arrest cannot be lifted until we find him.
For your own safety.
I don't care about our safety. We can't go on like this.
This killer is pretty dangerous...
There is no dangerous killer.
- He's Purvak's partner. - Angad...
Jaipal must have seen Purvak and Luca together,
that's why they killed him.
Come on, Angad.
Calm down.
They are just doing their jobs.
I know how to handle this situation.
Barry.
You need to fix this.
'Bugger knows everything,
yet he's still going to put on his awful acting performance.'
'Just like parents amusingly scold their children at PTA meetings.'
'You are being unreasonable, Detective.'
'Why does the family need to be on house arrest?'
When we started the investigation,
there were two suspects.
One in our custody and one missing.
After we find the missing boy Purvak...
Jaipal dies.
Which means there is a third killer out there.
(Intense high-energy music)
And until he's found,
everyone is a suspect.
(Music continues)
He has a point, Mrs Bhatti.
But Commissioner, there is a limit...
I understand you've been fully cooperative.
You really have.
And we appreciate that.
But please just give us a little more time.
Three days, Detective.
That's what you've got.
If you can't solve this case in three days,
I'm gonna close it myself.
(Intense high-energy music continues)
(Heart beat sound)
(Bird chirping)
(camcorder switching on)
Inhale...
And exhale...
Breathe in...
Breathe out.
Do you hear?
Their heartbeat.
Listen carefully.
Their heart's beating.
I can hear it vaguely.
You lack patience, Detective.
And sleep.
I already know your questions.
But, I am going to tell you three facts.
Please enlighten us.
Fact number one;
Pankaj was a self-made man.
I came as a package deal when he tied the knot with Rajjo.
A live-in brother-in-law.
Pankaj hated me.
That's why he...
kept you out of the house.
I had self-respect.
I left on my own.
I could have left this place permanently,
but I promised Rajjo...
to stay till the end.
- Very good. - That was my introduction.
Now, fact number two;
Nearly a year ago...
(Dramatic music plays)
'A man who despised me,
sat beside me for the first time.'
'And we spent the evening together,
without exchanging a single word.'
'And in that silence,
I heard something shatter.'
'A couple of days later,
Shanti brought Purvak home.'
'Since that day, it felt like...'
Bodhi.
'... he had a new purpose in life.'
'Our bond grew as strong
as he despised me earlier.'
(Dramatic music continues)
(Heart beating sound)
'He found it more peaceful here
compared to his workplace and home.'
Is that why he left 10% to you?
Fact number three;
On the day Pankaj died...
(Faint gunshot)
'As I came out, I saw Purvak running off,
and Angad was shooting the clay plates.'
(Continuous gunshots)
'The gunshot I heard earlier,
sounded completely different from Angad's rifle.'
'And what's weirder,
a shooter who never misses,
missed every mark that day.'
That's all I have to tell you, Detective.
(Mouth organ sound)
'And I didn't even get paid for it.'
'80% of the will goes to Purvak.'
'He killed my husband,
forged his will and is now on the run.'
'I am the black sheep of the family.'
'That bastard killed my father.'
'Did you forge the will and kill Mr Bhatti?'
'The gunshot I heard earlier,
sounded completely different from Angad's rifle.'
'The guy started three shell companies one year ago.'
'Purvak has a friend—Jayesh bhai.'
'A year ago...'
(Mouth organ continues)
Guys.
I think I got it.
(Dynamic music plays)
'As the saying goes, every end is a new beginning.'
'Natasha had a real-life transition like in a reel,
and she became Shaheen Ansari.'
(Dynamic music transitions to playful music)
'Thankfully, she wasn't as boring as season one.'
'In season two, she knew how to use her beauty as leverage,
and to flaunt her smile.'
Hello.
Hello, dear.
'The good news was that Taufiq dressed sharp,
but his character slacked.'
This is Indian immigration we're talking about, Shaheen ji.
I don't get involved.
There has to be a hack, Taufiq sir.
I've heard a lot about you.
I came to you with a lot of expectations.
Where are you taking me?
The Big House.
It's illegal immigration, madam.
It's done at places like these.
(Door opens)
Follow me.
'Shaheen knew that the route to Jayesh
was through Taufiq.'
'But Taufiq was completely unaware
that his slacked character...
was going to get him in deep trouble.'
Bhatti started three shell companies.
He was doing regular transactions for a year,
but the money was being routed back
to Stellar Telecommunications account.
That makes no sense.
Exactly. I felt the same way.
But, these web of transactions
camouflaged some other small transactions.
And they were all going to the same account.
Purvak's?
No. St Thomas Hospital, Budapest.
Means, someone was being treated there.
Olivia. I need you.
Your hospital's name has popped up
in a money laundering racket.
Start talking... sir.
Jayesh bhai...
Local immigrants.
Your department.
Okay.
(Romantic music plays)
The guy in the hoodie with Purvak—
Where is he?
Sherdil. You won't believe it.
We found Jayesh bhai.
But the guy in the hoodie... she's a girl.
All members of the Bhatti family
are under house arrest,
except one.
(Dynamic music plays)
'Purvak and Luca are in our custody...'
'But there's another killer who is roaming free.'
'Would you be needing anything else?'
'I am leaving for the day.'
(Music builds up)
(Door closes hard)
(Doorbell sound)
(Door opens)
Can I get a ginger tea?
Find anything?
Nothing yet.
(Tense music builds up)
Why did you do it, Purvak?
'These are definitely not Shanti's.'
'Sherdil...'
'We found Jayesh bhai.'
'But the guy in the hoodie... she's a girl.'
(Mouth organ playing)
(Police siren blazing)
'As I said, a good detective is not someone
who finds the key,
but the one who uncovers the right lock.'
'But I am not a good detective.'
'I am the best.'
'That's why I found both at Falak's house that night.'
'Not just the biggest lock in this mystery,
but also the key to the silence
that the Bhatti family had wrapped themselves in.'
(Car tyres screeching)
'As the saying goes...
money is the root cause of all evil.'
'Meaning... in the end, it's all about the money.'
'That brings us to the biggest twist
in this story.'
'Pankaj Bhatti is alive.'
'So, ladies and gentlemen,
this is no longer a case of Whodunnit.'
'It's a #Howdunnit'
House arrest termination papers.
Barry gave us three days in your presence.
But we solved the case in two.
As always, I'm a little ahead of time.
The red hidden in the red.
Can you spot it, Mrs Bhatti?
What?
Deception, Mrs Bhatti.
The lies hidden beneath the layers of truth.
The ingredients of a perfect crime.
What lie are you hinting at, Detective?
I think you know.
(Melancholy music plays)
Oh God, dad.
This news cannot come out.
Our stock prices will completely crash.
Mom.
What do we do about this?
Have you told anyone else about this, Pankaj?
(Music continues)
Pankaj?
Have you told anyone about this?
So, apart from the family,
no one else can know that Pankaj has got...
Cancer, Mrs Bhatti.
'Bhatti started three shell companies.'
'He was doing regular transactions for a year,
but the money was being routed back to Stellar Telecommunications account.'
'Purvak's?'
'No. St Thomas Hospital, Budapest.'
'Means, someone was being treated there.'
Come on, Detective.
You live in the same world.
Surely that needs no explanation.
And anyway, what's that got to do with dad's murder?
Everything.
This one incident had completely changed Mr Bhatti.
Am I right, Bodhi ji?
Whether I live or die, doesn't matter to anyone.
They only have eyes on my money.
Bodhi.
If you had everything,
what would you do?
Who said I don't?
I'll need your help, Bodhi.
(Tense music builds up)
Are you serious?
What is this?
- Are you giving away everything to charity... - Angad.
I've made my decision, and I'm not going to change it.
How could you do this to your own family, Pankaj?
Don't ever talk back to me.
I've given Angad more than he deserves.
And as for my beautiful marriage.
There is no secret about that, is there?
Yeah, have a good day too.
As for Shanti...
She has her NGO.
And now I am going to give her this house.
(Soft music plays)
I think I've made the right decision.
This is all uncle's fault.
That gardener has brainwashed dad.
Plant trees... do charity...
He's gonna die and take us with him.
That's why I fell in love with Pankaj.
He is so clever.
Money spoils relationships, Shanti.
Your NGO is your life.
I just want you to be happy.
Are you happy?
Love you.
Finish your breakfast.
Pankaj is getting his revenge on us.
He knew the truth about me,
but he's realised that you are good for nothing.
(Door opens)
Well played, Shanti. Well played.
The house is yours now.
So... should all of us start living
in a tent outside?
Like uncle.
Should we all go?
Is this drama always necessary?
I had 30% share in an empire worth 60 billion.
And what do I have now?
This mansion that's worth 10 million.
How could you think I am happy?
God made me deaf and mute, not dumb.
Dad also made me a charity case.
Did you also come here to vent?
No.
I am just telling you
that dad hasn't changed the original will yet.
We can still salvage this situation.
Impossible!
Pankaj will never change his decision.
(Music intensifies)
Shanti. You want to kill Pankaj?
Elizabeth.
So, how much?
Ten million euros.
(Tense music intensifies)
But you guys settled it on five million.
It was a good bargain.
The murder of your dying father.
It was quite an evil plan, Shanti.
In fact, you would be the last person I would have suspected.
Enough!
But just like your brother's temper exposed him,
your over-acting gave you away.
My doctor tested this in the lab and informed me
it was just sugar tablets.
Get out of my house. All of you.
How dare you accuse my sister?
Based on a maid's statement.
I will destroy your career, Sherdil.
Don't screw it up today,
just like you did that day.
'There is no dangerous killer.'
'He's Purvak's partner.'
'Jaipal must have seen Purvak and Luca together,
- that's why they killed him.' - 'Angad.'
'Angad.'
You're an excellent shooter, Angad.
But always misfire because of your temper.
Only two people knew Jaipal saw Purvak and Luca together.
One, the guy who Jaipal told this to.
Second; the one who convinced Jaipal to say it.
'When he was tying me up,
Purvak was also there.'
But I must say guys, my team and I
are really very impressed by you guys.
What a brilliantly planned murder
of a dying man-
by amateurs.
And how you guys executed this plan-
allow me to explain it to you.
(Dramatic music plays)
If Pankaj dies an unnatural death,
then the suspicion will come on us.
We need an outsider.
A trusting fool
who we can easily... frame.
'And Shanti found that perfect scapegoat in her NGO.'
'She knew that once dad heard about Purvak's background,
he would be convinced that what she thought was a mutual fund
was actually a Ponzi scheme.'
'Starting tomorrow, you work for me.'
(Gunshot)
So far... the plan was perfect.
In the given scenario,
anyone would have suspected Purvak.
But Purvak never broke, because...
(Soft music plays)
Shanti. Purvak is an honest man.
I have tested him.
I just hope you and I
are making the right decision.
Love you.
But Purvak doesn't know this.
He still thinks that Pankaj hates him.
We can use that.
How?
Involve him in the plan.
'You all thought he's a poor man.'
'Money can buy him over.'
'Just like you did with Falak and Jaipal.'
Purvak, if you help us in killing Pankaj,
we'll have no objection to your marriage with Shanti.
Evidently...
that was your biggest mistake.
For the sake of his love,
Purvak also got involved in the plan.
He, with the rest of you...
'Made a plan to kill Mr Bhatti.'
'Hired Luca through the company accounts.'
"Luca."
(English rap music)
'But he couldn't sleep.'
'Even for love, he couldn't kill someone.'
Even if that person is his biggest enemy.
And then...
the truth you all kept from him,
was finally revealed.
Yes.
Do you know,
I see myself in you.
When I started this business,
everyone tried to break me.
But I did not break.
I tried to break you too.
But you didn't break either.
I don't hate you. Try to understand...
Maybe because...
every relationship in my life
is connected to greed for my money.
But you are not one of them.
I think you are the right man...
(Soft music builds)
for my Shanti.
No. I am sorry.
What? What?
My Shanti? Yeah.
My wife.
My family.
Everyone...
planning...
(Melancholy music plays)
No.
(Piano sound)
(Melancholy music transition to tense music)
Truly you're a very good detective, Sherdil.
But one thing I still don't understand.
Why did Purvak take the blame on himself
even though he knew everything?
Since the day Mr Bhatti was murdered,
two more people went missing.
One was Purvak's friend Jayesh bhai,
and the girl in the hoodie.
Purvak's younger sister Kiran.
'Just like Purvak, Kiran was also deaf and mute.'
'To give her a comfortable life,
Purvak brought her here from India illegally.'
'But until he didn't sort out Kiran's legal paperwork,
he had to keep her existence a secret.'
'And that's why he would change apartments every 21 days.'
'A person's secrets are his weakness.'
'And you used Purvak's secret as this grand deception's strength.'
But things stirred out of control when Jaipal became a liability.
And all of you were under house arrest,
except one.
(Intense music plays)
(Car door closes)
(Car tyres screeching)
This makes no sense.
We all know how Pankaj died.
If he knew their plan,
then why did he walk towards his own death?
You understand Hindi?
I do.
Great.
That's the grand deception of this case.
The red hidden in the red.
Luca did not kill Mr Bhatti.
How is that possible?
Because it was Mr Bhatti's
dead body in the car.
He was already dead.
And this is where he really died.
Purvak told me everything.
No.
Don't you lie?
Y'all tried to murder me.
What are you going to do?
Kill all of us?
- Yes, that's the plan. Get back. - Dad.
Dad, put the gun down. Calm down.
Shut your bloody trap, you bastard.
- Stupid people. - Calm down, Pankaj.
Don't tell me to calm down.
I just got some news for all of you.
I willed everything to Purvak,
Bodhi
and Rabbit.
You must be joking.
I am not joking.
I am not JOKING!
I've changed the will.
- You changed the will? - Yeah.
(Intense music)
I've changed the will.
- Dad, we can talk about this... - Stop it there.
You stupid... stupid people.
You tried to murder a dying man.
You tried to murder...
a dying man!
(Intense music continues)
- Shut up. - We can talk about this.
- Calm down. - You tried to murder...
a dying man...
Dad.
Shanti?
(Gunshot)
(Dramatic music plays)
'Shanti.'
'Money spoils relationships.'
'I just want you to be happy.'
(Intense music plays)
Purvak.
- No, no... no. - (Door closes)
We'll deal with him later.
You go outside and start shooting.
- What? - Bodhi.
Come on, handle Bodhi.
You girls, start cleaning up.
Shanti. Clean. Clean.
(Dramatic music plays)
Come on, guys.
We just stick to the plan.
(Car door closes)
You know what to do, Jaipal.
Make no mistakes.
If anyone asks who you saw, what are you going to say?
Purvak.
Come on. Come on.
Let's get that bastard Purvak.
WHY ARE WE RUNNING, PURVAK?
- THERE'S NO TIME, I'LL EXPLAIN LATER. - (Door opens)
I WON'T TELL ANYONE ANYTHING.
My stupid husband made you
the major beneficiary of his will.
Now we'll make you a major suspect in this case.
If you manage to escape,
then that's your luck.
But if you get caught,
do you know what's going to happen to your sister?
Do you know what they do to illegal immigrants in this country?
So... what are you going to say?
(Fingers snapping sound)
You are going to tell the police
that you killed Pankaj Bhatti.
It's time for you to disappear.
'When Purvak was caught here,
he came here to find his sister and not for his passport.'
'And Purvak gave a false confession to save Kiran's life.'
You cleaned all the other evidence, except this.
The red hidden in the red,
not visible easily.
(Gunshot)
'My great-grandfather used to say...'
'A good detective does not find the key,
but the one who uncovers the right lock.'
'The solution is always in front of you.'
'I spotted this on my first day in this chamber.'
That is all.
That's how you planned the murder of a dying man.
Amateurs.
Natasha.
(Footsteps)
(Dramatic music kicks in)
'As always I was right.'
'Pankaj Bhatti was alive until now.'
'Finally, he will rest in peace.'
(Intro music plays)
'But... the real job is not done yet.'
'Did you forget? The real kick is solving the problem
and making a reel on the crime scene.'
'But I am bored of this location.'
'And the good news is
I've got a really exotic location for my next reel.'
'Kenya. That's right.'
'And we'll also solve a case while I'm there.'
'So see you on my next adventure.'
'With cameraman Danny, this is Detective Sherdil signing off.'
'But you can call in case you miss me.'
'My number is 9299-NEVER MIND SEE YOU LATER ALLIGATOR.'
