(Aarya) A consignment worth ten billion!
The Russians will kill us all.
-(gunshot) -(gasps)
You have ten days to get back the consignment.
There's a mole amongst us.
You snitch, you die.
Shoot him!
(Veer) Is Roop alive?
Of course, she is!
Aarya will be dead soon.
Hey!
(groans)
Vivaan, don't talk about my family.
Didn't his bodyguard murder him?
-Vivaan! -(Apu) Adi!
Maya. I've been expecting you.
(door opens and closes)
(light footsteps)
Do you like it?
Yeah, quite intriguing.
Can you tell me more about this painting.
Well, according to the artist,
society sacrifices the truth for its convenience.
Sacrifice...
Interesting.
You know, according to my wife, sacrifice is...
a beautiful fraud.
A way to keep a woman in control.
Yes.
I couldn't agree more actually.
But she did sacrifice one thing.
Gluten.
(both giggle)
Why didn't she come here with you today?
Uh...
I lost her sometime back.
I'm so sorry.
I've been the principal since the last 20 years.
Playground fights are normal.
But this is serious.
-(man) Step away, please. -(woman) Step away.
-We need to talk to the principal. -Please...
Sorry, sir.
Good, you're here. We need to have a chat.
(Vivaan's mom) Look what your son has done.
My son could've lost his eye.
-It was an accident. I-- -(Vivaan's dad) What?
You call this an accident?
It's a bloody crime.
And your school is a crime scene, Principal.
I'm a lawyer.
I won't let this go so easily.
Mr. Sehgal, you're taking it too far.
-Yes, I am. -Please calm down.
It's fine.
Aditya's going to apologise.
Adi, please say sorry.
Sorry.
Is he apologising, or doing us a favour?
Such a phony apology for such a severe crime.
Mannerless kid.
-I am sorry! -Adi!
But it wasn't my fault.
What do you mean?
Didn't you push Vivaan?
Mom, he wanted to cheat in the exam.
I didn't help him, so he started troubling me.
-He's a bully. -He's lying.
No, Mumma. He's lying.
Apu was there, too.
You can check with him.
-Okay, okay-- -First, he pushes my son.
And now he's lying.
You nasty little liar.
Step away from my son.
Please calm down, Mr. Sehgal.
Please calm down.
To hell with calming down!
Mrs. Sareen, I'm now going to file a criminal complaint.
A court-appointed child welfare officer will come to your house.
When a child is a criminal,
it is important to first check the home environment.
My son is not a criminal.
-What else? -What--
Today he pushed my son. Tomorrow he might shoot someone.
Isn't it?
You know how to shoot a gun, right?
That's enough!
-Really? -That's enough.
I know everything about you, Aarya.
Wait outside for me. I'll be right there.
Everything that you've heard about me...
is absolutely true.
So, you be very careful how you talk about my family.
Do whatever you want.
After that, I'll do what I need to do.
(door creaks)
My wife loved art.
But all she could draw were stick figures.
Now I buy these paintings in memory of my wife.
That's it.
Frankly speaking, I don't even know
where to hang this painting in my house.
I believe there's a right place for every painting.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
Er...
If you don't mind, could you come home with me?
I want to put this painting in the right spot, so...
Of course, I'll pay for your expert opinion.
Actually, I have to...
I won't be free to leave the office just now.
-It'll be hard for me to go. -No... That's all right.
-I completely understand. -So sorry.
Since I was buying it in my wife's memory,
I thought I shouldn't put it up in a random place.
Anyway...
Could you have the painting put in my car?
Absolutely.
-Ankit, please put it in the car. -Sure, ma'am.
Thanks.
At times like this I really miss her.
You would've loved meeting her.
Mr. Singhania?
Sorry... Sanjay.
Er...
I can manage some time now. I'll be happy to come with you.
It's the least I can do for your wife.
I'll just follow you in my car with my security. Would that be all right?
Yes, of course. Thank you so much.
Give me the bag, please.
It's fine.
Adi...
I'll check what he needs.
Mallika, get me the details of the Child Welfare Department.
It's a little urgent.
Sure. I'll also find out about the court-appointed welfare officer.
-Thank you. -Okay.
-Bye. -(Aru squeals) Mom!
Oh, I really needed that today.
I've to show you something.
Wow! What is this for?
An advance for my first paid poetry performance.
-(chuckles) -Oh.
Papa would've been so proud.
I know.
When is it? And where?
This lady saw me perform my poetry online.
She loved it so much that she offered me a gig!
I'm so excited.
That's fantastic.
Who has commissioned it?
Some lady called Nalini Sahiba.
What?
(mobile phone ringing)
-Hello, Aarya. -Nalini Sahiba.
We're having some special guests from Russia.
Make sure your daughter, Aru, is well prepared for her performance.
My kids are innocent, Nalini Sahiba.
Not innocent.
They're insurance.
Anton's replacement from the Russian cartel
will arrive here soon.
Mikhail.
He isn't as stupid as Anton.
He's a dangerous hunter.
The consignment needs to be returned in a week.
Understood?
You'll get the consignment back in time.
But my children will not be contacted again.
-Greetings. -(chuckling) Peace be with you.
I'll just put the painting down here for now.
(ominous music)
-Such a beautiful home. -Thank you.
My wife designed it.
It's got a woman's touch.
There's a study upstairs.
It was my wife's favourite room.
-In case you want to check it out. -Sure!
Please come.
My phone...
-I seem to have left it in the car. -Oh.
Just go ahead. I'll come. I'll be there.
Upstairs to the...
-To the left. -Sure.
(ominous music continues)
(intense percussive music)
(screaming)
I lost my wife sometime back.
(grim music)
(thrilling music)
Guards! Guards!
They're all dead.
All your bodyguards are dead.
Just listen to me, Maya.
(gasping and groaning)
(stuttering) I'm sorry.
-Tell me. Sorry for what? -Please. I'm sorry.
-Sorry for what? -I'm sorry.
I'm sorry about Nandini.
(crying) I'm sorry.
(automated) The number you've dialled is switched off.
(teacher) Did your mom answer the call?
Can you call someone else?
What happened, Apu?
Aarya aunty, Mumma hasn't come to pick me up from school.
Her phone is also switched off.
Don't worry, Apu.
I'm sending someone to pick you up.
Where is your mumma usually at this time of day?
Art gallery.
All right, bye.
(mobile phone trills)
Yes, Sampat.
Maya ma'am's bodyguards aren't answering their phone.
Fuck!
I told Maya to be careful about Sooraj.
I'm going to Maya's art gallery to find her, Sampat.
Get Apu home safely.
Yes, ma'am.
(phone line rings)
(mobile phone rings)
Why are you ignoring my calls?
I'm busy.
What are you busy with?
Why are you getting hyper, Aru? What is it?
I got a paid gig.
A chance to perform my poetry.
Mom made me turn it down.
She's your mom.
She must have done it for a good reason.
You must accept her decision.
It was my first salary, Dhruv.
If you don't get a salary, you won't die.
Why are you talking like that?
Because you have options!
You have privileges.
Not everyone has privileges.
Sometimes one has to do things they never even fathomed.
Shoot him!
Dhruv?
What happened?
You can talk to me.
Did Sampat make you do something you didn't want to do?
Did my mom say anything to you?
I don't know...
what I am doing, why I am doing it.
What's that you keep saying?
"Nothing makes sense."
That's what's happening to me.
It's okay. Come here. It's okay.
(soft emotional music)
(mobile phone ringing)
Yes, sir?
(Sampat) Leave for school.
Pick Maya ma'am's son, Apu, and drop him at Aarya ma'am's house.
Sure.
What happened?
-What is it? -Nothing.
Dhruv, where are you going? Dhruv!
Please show this camera's feed. Make it full-screen.
Can you zoom a little, please?
(clicking)
And rewind it.
Play.
Sooraj.
(mobile phone trilling)
Hello.
Sushila, I need Maya's location.
I'm sending you her number.
Get on it quickly. It's a little urgent.
Maya ma'am?
She's missing.
Sure, I'll find out.
I wanted to tell you something else.
I've found a way to get back the consignment.
Since the consignment is very large,
they won't burn it in the open like last time.
Where is it going to be burned?
In a factory or an incinerator where the security is weaker.
It will be easy for us to get it.
I'll get you more details in two days.
But Maya's location is very urgent. Sushila, get that first.
-Okay, ma'am. -Thanks.
Tell me, Maya...
What did you do to Nandini?
Sooraj, Apu is waiting for me.
He's at school. Please let me go.
My children are also waiting for their mother for many months.
But she won't come back.
Tell me what you did to Nandini.
Just tell me that. Just tell me that, please.
(quivering) Sooraj, please.
Sooraj, please. I'm sorry.
-Tell me, Maya. -I'm sorry.
Was Nandini also pleading like this?
Tell me... How was Nandini in her last moments?
Tell me... What was the last thing she said?
Please, Maya.
Please.
Thank you.
You sent me Nandini's finger.
Didn't you?
Which one was it?
-Sooraj, please! -This one or this one?
-This one? No, the ring finger? -Sooraj, please!
-Tell me. -Sooraj!
-(growls) Quick! Tell me which! -Sooraj, please!
Did you cut it before or after you killed her?
Please, Sooraj! Please, please...
Tell me, Maya.
-Please! -(shouts) Tell me, Maya!
(screams loudly)
Sampat, I've got Maya's location.
Get there quickly. I'll be there, too.
Okay.
How are you, Dhruv?
Why did you want to meet?
Aarya's friend Maya is missing.
Since when?
This morning.
Aarya has gone to find her.
Keep an eye on her
and keep me updated.
Aarya will dig her own grave.
What is it?
I can't do it, sir.
Please get me out of here.
I too killed many criminals to perform my duty.
Chhagan was a criminal.
You didn't do anything wrong by killing him, Dhruv.
I can't understand what's right or wrong, sir.
I'm tired of these daily lies.
I can't do it.
After so many years of investigation,
this is the first time I'm so close to catching Aarya.
Do you know why?
Because of you.
We need just one piece of solid evidence.
And I will get you out of there, myself.
Aarya is not going to escape this time.
Stop here.
Before the gate.
(tense music)
(ringing)
Yes, Sampat?
Aarya ma'am, there's no point in coming here.
There's no one here.
Neither Maya nor her car is here.
Check the entire house, Sampat.
You'll find some clues.
Yes, ma'am.
How are you, Apu?
Did you come back okay?
Did you find Mumma?
Mumma is fine.
Her phone is not working.
She's finishing some work and will be back soon.
All right?
Apu, who's that? Adi, please take Apu to your room.
Everything's fine.
Where have you been?
You aren't even answering my calls.
Did you really find Maya aunty?
Now you are lying to Apu also?
He's a child, Veer.
I was just trying to comfort him.
That's what you're doing with me too, right?
It's been three days since Roop has been kidnapped.
I'm trying, Veer.
Mumma, at least tell me the truth.
Has Maya aunty been kidnapped?
Is it the same guy who kidnapped Roop?
-Mumma. -Hmm?
Apu is crying.
I'm coming.
We'll talk about this, Veer. For sure.
I'll come back.
Which room is Apu in?
-In mine. -Let's go.
(ominous music)
Where did you bury her?
Find her.
Dig.
Tell me. Find her.
Tell me where you buried Nandini.
-Find her! -Sooraj!
Tell me.
Where have you buried my Nandini?
I don't remember, Sooraj.
-You don't remember? Don't remember! -Sooraj!
Was murdering my wife so trivial to you
that you don't even know where you buried her?
Think hard, Maya.
Or I'll kill your son, too.
Sooraj, please don't do anything to Apu.
I didn't kill her. Don't hurt Apu.
Who killed her? Who killed her?
Aarya.
It's all Aarya's fault.
Please don't do anything to my son.
(pinging)
(mobile phone ringing)
I'll be right back.
Maya?
Aarya, please come here fast.
-He's going to kill me. -Where are you?
(stutters) I'm--
Maya's looking for Nandini, Aarya.
Sooraj, please don't hurt Maya.
If you care for her so much, come here right now.
I'll be there. Tell me where to come.
Do you remember where you buried Nandini?
Or have you also forgotten?
Come to that place.
I'm coming there right now.
Come alone.
Or like Nandini...
you won't ever find Maya's body.
I'm going to get Maya.
Be alert. Sooraj can do anything.
Hear me?
(mobile phone rings)
Yes, Dhruv?
Sooraj has kidnapped Maya.
And Aarya has gone to find her.
She's definitely going to do something. We can get her red-handed.
When did she leave?
She just left.
Towards Maansingh Chowk.
Who is headed to Maansingh Chowk?
I was letting Sampat sir know that Aarya ma'am is headed there.
For her own safety.
-Rajveer, keys. -Here you go, sir.
-Jaishree, hurry up. -Yes, sir.
(constable) Open the gates.
(suspenseful music)
Jaishree, tell all the traffic constables near Mansingh Chowk
to spot Aarya's vehicle
-and keep us updated. -Okay, sir.
Control room, come in.
Spot plate number 2399 and follow the car.
And keep us updated.
-Over. -(constable 1) Copy. Over.
That is Aarya's car.
Come in. Come in.
Car with plate number 2399 has just crossed Maansingh Chowk.
We're following it.
I'm sending the live location. Over.
They're close.
Turn right.
(honking)
Thank you. I'll take it from here.
Got you, Aarya Sareen.
This is ACP Khan.
I'm following a black SUV 2399.
I need backup.
The suspect shouldn't know that she's being followed.
(mobile phone rings)
Yes, Sushila?
Aarya ma'am, ACP Khan is following you.
Please be careful.
Shit.
Sampat, Khan is following me.
Listen to me carefully.
I have a plan to lose Khan.
Meet me near Gol Masjid. Hurry.
Yes, ma'am. I'll be right there.
Shit, shit, shit!
(honks)
Where did Aarya go?
Sir, stop!
There's Aarya's car.
2399. Back up.
(intense music builds)
Perfect timing.
My car broke down and you arrived just in time to give me a ride.
Cops are truly public servants.
At least I'll get a lift.
Where's Aarya? What are you doing in this car?
These are the perks of working in the private sector.
I get to drive fancy cars once in a while.
(thrilling music)
(car door closes)
Where is Maya?
Where is she?
She's alive.
I'm here.
Let Maya go.
Did you let Nandini go?
Listen, Sooraj... Please.
My children's lives were in danger.
So you kidnapped my wife and children?
I didn't have a choice.
There's always a choice, Aarya. There's always a choice.
You could've let her go.
But you killed her.
Maya told me.
Didn't you kill Nandini?
Maya!
Maya... Maya!
What did you do?
Are you human or an animal?
An animal?
Do you know what Nandini used to say?
"Sooraj, you're a good man.
"You're a good man, Sooraj."
And that's why she loved me.
But what did you do?
You took away my children's mother from them for your selfish needs.
Nandini was innocent.
And you still killed her.
And by killing her, you killed my family.
By killing her, you killed the good man in me.
I'm not the animal, Aarya.
You are the animal!
(retches)
(breathing heavily)
Please let Maya go.
I killed Nandini.
Please.
How did you kill her?
Tell me.
She was trying to escape.
She picked a knife and...
I tried to stop her and stabbed her accidentally.
How did you stab her?
Where?
Here? Or here? Where did you stab her?
(shouts)
(screams, groans)
No!
Maya, listen to me.
He'll kill us all.
This has to stop.
These killings have to stop, Maya.
Nandini lost her life because of me.
He's right.
I am the animal.
I'm sorry.
It was my mistake.
I killed Nandini.
We can't make any more mistakes.
Maya, we can't kill him.
Please let this go.
Please put it down.
I got this.
I got us.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry... (sobbing)
I'm so sorry.
Your children lost their mother because of my mistakes.
And I'm sorry, Sooraj.
We killed Nandini.
You killed Roop.
My son also lost his love.
In all of this, our children have lost the most.
We need to stop.
Please. We need to stop.
You can choose to be a good man for your children.
You can still choose that for them.
-Please. -(crying)
-(gunshot) -(all three gasp)
Veer!
He killed Roop!
-Veer, listen-- -I'll fucking kill him.
-Veer! -I'll fucking kill you.
Shut up, Mumma!
You know that he murdered Roop.
How can you let him go?
Don't do this, Veer.
I'll fucking kill him.
-This was your plan, Aarya! -No. It's a misunderstanding.
Veer, listen to me...
Listen to me...
Look at me. Look at me!
-Drop the gun. -Listen!
-Leave it. -Give me the gun!
-Give me the gun. -No, Sooraj!
(gunshot)
(eerie silence)
(car approaches)
Go there and check.
Take Maya to the hospital
and then home.
-I'll meet you there. -Let's go.
Where is Roop?
I want to give her a proper funeral.
Take me to her.
(Aru recites poetry) This is an ancient epic playing out
In modern times
As for the one who was sacrificed In this story
Was she helpless Or was she magnanimous?
Was she an offering Or was she a sacrifice?
Whenever my eyes open I see only one image
Hey, Romeo.
Shall we go?
(Aru) An image Where a woman dies repeatedly
Engulfed in smoke
And that woman is none other
Than my mother
In our minds Our mother who perished
Engulfed in smoke Was simply malicious
Sir, how did Aarya know we were following her?
There's a mole.
In our department.
Catch the mole and Aarya's finished.
(Aru) This story is an excerpt Of a great epic
Where a lioness is surrounded By a pack of hunters
-(gunshot) -With their traps laid all around
Do you really feel Aarya will be able to get back the consignment?
If she can't...
she is your target.
I was born to hunt, baby.
(Aru) Her heart was consumed By toxicity
(mobile phone rings)
Hello?
Hello, Aarya.
Mikhail, here.
Yes, Mikhail. I will bring back your consignment.
Just give me some time, please.
Let's meet tomorrow.
10 o'clock.
Don't be late, Aarya.
Death waits for no one.
(Aru) Is this the beginning Of my mourning?
Or is this the death Of my mother's agony?
Is this only the end of an act?
Or is this the end Of the whole epic?
It's time to hunt the lioness.
-(gunshots) -(screams)
What did she say? Tell me now.
The police are going to burn the consignment tomorrow.
The lioness won't survive now.
I'll finish the Russian cartel.
Anyone who tries to come between my kids and me,
I will kill them!
(screaming)
(gunshot)
You fucking bitch.
You shot him?
You always lie to me.
You're only worried about your business!
Instead of having a bad mother,
it's better to not have a mother at all.
I wish you'd have died instead of Dad.
(gunshot)
