FUNDAMENTALS FOR A GOOD LIFE
Food will be cooked only once during the day.
The stove will be lit just once.
All earnings will be deposited in the same bank account.
No one barring the family will be permitted to enter the house.
All friendships will stay outside the house.
Talking to anyone in the neighbourhood is prohibited.
Sir, these are the seven diaries…
which are our prime evidence.
They have helped us reach a conclusive end in this case.
We will have to perform the ritual for seven nights…
and you need to have faith…
that in the passage between life and death…
we shall reunite.
And after that we…
will return home, safe and sound with Dad.
Sir, there are many such entries in this diary…
which point toward the fact that…
this family was about to take part in a sacred… or rather ritualistic affair.
And in doing so, there was a high probability of confronting death.
But obviously, they didn't plan to die.
And then Sir, these videos…
Yes, they did secretly take part in rituals.
Also, they never allowed anyone to enter their house.
Pinky used to talk about her Uncle Jatin.
She used to say, that Uncle Jatin can still see her grandfather, and…
her grandfather sits next to Uncle Jatin and talks to him.
More so, Uncle Jatin used to take the form of her grandfather and…
guide them on the prayer rituals, and the way ahead.
They didn't socialize at all!
And they were always aloof from the society, as well.
Jatin did have an unusual mindset.
He used to consult his father to even consume cough syrup.
Sir, the entire neighbourhood…
unanimously agrees that…
the whole family led a very reclusive life…
which is a clear sign of a cult!
And every cult has a leader.
Look at the details…
Jatin taking the reins of the house soon after the demise of Dashrath Singh…
and then giving this whole episode a twist of divine acceptance…
by mimicking Dashrath Singh’s voice…
and convincing people, that indeed
the voice belongs to the soul of Dashrath Singh…
that is guiding everyone.
This proves that…
this family…
in a way, was a cult!
In your report, the videos found in Jatin's phone,
are mentioned in the evidence list.
Where are the videos?
Haqiqat Nagar is in the headlines, yet again!
This time, for riots between two local gangs.
The scuffle between goons of Jayyu and Loki gangs has caused mayhem.
Trying to kill him, are you?
He'll die! Let him go!
You idiot!
We have seen bodies hanging by the ropes multiple times.
However, pay close attention to the knots!
Look at this, Sir.
Fisherman’s knot.
A family member had made these knots beforehand and kept them ready.
And later everyone hung themselves using these.
And Sir, the diary further goes on to suggest…
that the women can make use of stoles and… sarees.
Sir, pay attention to these knots.
This is an inside job!
Are there different types of knots, as well?
Not just types,
there are also a thousand ways to tie them.
Sir, these are conclusive pieces of evidence…
that prove, that this is a clear case of mass suicide…
not murder!
Still, I would request Dr. Grover,
to substantiate my claim…
with any psychoanalytical understanding of the case…
that he wants to share.
Sure.
Sir, as of now this appears to be a case of shared psychotic disorder.
I'm further working with the C.F.C. on the evidence and reports…
and we shall have the final conclusion very soon.
Sir, there are many such instances…
where families… and close-knit groups… they make a pact!
To commit suicide.
-Gunjit. -Sir.
Are you satisfied with the investigation?
I think we are okay with the C.B.I. report.
Then how did "suicide" become "murder" in your investigation, Sir?
They might have botched up in a hurry.
Negligence with forensic evidence. Doctored footages.
And even…
unwarranted arrests.
Happens!
Sir, we have already suspended the officer.
An N.P.C. inquiry has been initiated.
Then go ahead, Trilok.
Prove it in the court, and inform the public.
Officer Satyawati,
how was Inspector Gadar Singh's behaviour with you?
Sir, he was very well-behaved.
You both were on good terms with each other.
His behaviour was bound to be good!
Sir, if there’s a tragedy within the family…
it’s only natural to suspect the family members.
But if there are no family members alive,
then under such circumstances it is the servants who become prime suspects.
And Sir, the disappearance of such a huge amount,
and then the two of them coming to Dashrath Bhavan on that very night…
There’s strong circumstantial evidence against the servants, Sir.
Sir, if you require any kind of help from
Haqiqat Nagar police station, then you can get in touch with Mr. Vigyas.
You've been suspended for no reason!
I was the case in-charge.
It was my responsibility.
I'm sorry!
No, Sir…
Sir…
You’ve been called inside.
Let’s see.
Breaking News!
Breaking News, indeed!
A breakthrough in the Haqiqat Nagar case!
After mass firings of guesswork and speculations…
the machine gun enters! And that's none other than the C.B.I.
With a single firing from them, the case has turned on its head.
A case that has been the centre of debates and discussions for a very long time…
has finally been declared as suicide!
The court has delivered its verdict today.
Everybody is chasing their version of truth,
making Kush’s death a thing of the past.
We’ll have to use what is available to us to bring forth our truth.
And what do we have in our hands?
The family helpline that was started…
only had oddballs show up.
The fiancé also turned out to be useless.
Well, Kush’s last E.C.G., could that be arranged?
Everyone is keeping a close eye on Rohini in the hospital.
Naidu Sir has given orders to the entire staff.
Uncle Hanuman too has been suspended.
Do you have some change?
This is the doing of Loki and Jayyu.
They have ruined Haqiqat Nagar in their gang wars!
Earlier, their father used to cause a ruckus…
and now they keep adding more fuel to the fire!
Sir, I've suffered a big loss.
Hey, Uncle!
Do you have government documents?
First and foremost, you are illegally selling
cigarettes and other tobacco products.
And then you have the audacity…
to demand compensation! Get lost!
The real culprit…
is their owner, Tejpal Loki!
We’ll thrash him, as well. Don’t worry.
Let's deal with the F.I.R. against the anonymous people first.
Hey, Sir!
They’ve burnt the shops of two of our men in the back lane.
Loki’s goons did this!
Moreover, they beat up our Kitty, mistaking him to be a Jayyu gang member.
Get Kitty’s medical examination done…
then we’ll charge them under Section 307.
-Sir… Sir… -Yes?
The diaries suddenly made their way into the investigation…
What does the S.I.T. formed by the Crime Branch have to say about this?
The diaries that you are mentioning…
have been found near the temple in the house…
inside a secret locker.
It’s a matter of regret…
that the S.I.T. failed in conducting a thorough investigation.
Anyway, the seven diaries that have been found…
one of them also belongs to Kushagra Chandel.
Kushagra's diary?
And the video footage found in the mobile phone…
for a psychiatric…
investigation…
it has been sent to the C.F.C.
Sir, the investigation done by the Crime Branch…
has cost a servant his life.
Case in-charge Gadar Singh, is already suspended.
His negligence in the case, is regrettable for the entire Crime Branch.
Why don't you get it repaired?
The tribunal has prohibited me from getting it repaired.
It won’t be of any use even to the tribunal.
Chandels’ phone is more important than my phone right now.
God knows what goddamn video Trilok has found in it.
Your team had checked it properly?
Yes, we did check!
Both, Dashrath Bhavan as well as the phone.
"Properly", my foot!
You never got the diary found by you and your team, thoroughly investigated.
Rather butchered "two innocent goats" that you got hold of.
So what do you think, these diaries are for real?
They found so many diaries overnight, isn't that strange?
Moreover, a ten-year-old kid’s diary?
Kush… Kush’s notebooks.
What now?
The night of "Mahakaal."
It’s the night of punishment in "kalyug."
It’s the night to attain salvation.
Meditating in a banyan tree formation…
will bring me salvation, along with five other wandering souls.
And this will bring you success.
This is the last entry in Jatin's diary.
Every Thursday and Friday, Uncle Jatin--
Cut…! Dear, say Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Okay?
Rolling?
Rolling!
Every Tuesday and Thursday, Uncle Jatin…
used to sit all by himself at the Hanuman temple
in the back alley for long hours in the night.
Your efforts to undertake the sacred ritual
should be consistent and in constant progress.
-Sir, please. Sir… please. Please… -Sir, please. Please. Please, Sir!
Stop with your stupid questions right now!
Get out of here!
There's a term for the mental disorder that Jatin and his family had…
in medical science, it's called "folie à deux."
"Folie à deux!"
"Folie à deux."
Which means, shared psychotic disorder.
In this disorder, a person starts having hallucinations…
And delusional beliefs.
Which in turn also affects the people around him.
In the long term…
it can be contagious.
It can also affect…
the people around him!
Can you go to Mohit Purohit's house?
Yes, why not?
But Sir, even the C.B.I. has given him and his mother a clean chit.
No, no. We don’t have to arrest him!
We only need his help to identify Pinky's handwriting.
And how will that help?
Look at this.
This… is Kush's handwriting.
In every school workbook,
he used to write many alphabets in a mirrored form.
These diaries that are doing rounds in the media…
Trilok claims that one of them belongs to Kush.
The handwriting is of a child, Mr. Vigyas.
But none of the alphabets are mirrored.
Just like this, if we can cross-check the handwriting of every family member, then…
Okay!
I’ll find some hack, Madam.
But Sir, I still can't believe it.
What kind of family takes such a step
barely a few days after the engagement… I mean…
It was on the night of the engagement that Jatin had fired Jabbar and Haseena.
But where is Haseena?
Is this all that you have?
Yes, Sir.
What do you get by constantly troubling us?
Salary, you see.
Only civilised people live in this neighbourhood.
And my Monu works in an international call centre.
He has an Uncle.
And he too is employed by the Central Government.
At least now do you believe us?
Sir… these were the last memories that I had of Baby.
I gave you those, as well.
Hmm…
Sir…
I… I have one more thing to tell you…
Will you come with me?
S.P. Sanjeev Sabharwal.
Your neighbour…
Gadar Singh, who lives here…
when was the last time you saw him?
I haven't seen him since last week.
Okay!
Thank you!
Mom!
She's in a state of shock.
We'll do a follow-up after fifteen days.
Till then please get these medicines.
Rohini…
Thank you.
The neck appears to be cut by a chainsaw…
The tongue is cut off by more than half an inch.
Why the hell are the eyes stitched?
Pupil is missing.
You've already received a lot in charity, Sakshi!
Now don't beg for more!
You've burned all bridges already!
I've not come to beg for anything, Sir.
Then? Some more medication for you?
I don't need it now.
I've stopped taking the pills.
Great! Suit yourself.
Go ahead!
How can you be so insensitive?
For five minutes of fame on a news channel…
how could you let go of twenty-five years of ethics?
You could've at least thought about the kid--
Shut up!
Don’t lecture me on morality, when you have committed a fraud!
So how soon can the identification happen?
Nag?
I'm tallying with the list of missing people.
Till then we'll have the D.N.A. test done.
However, I can't confirm anything for now, Sanjeev.
Does it…
resemble him?
Have you seen the condition of the face?
Hmm?
Until we get our hands on the D.N.A.…
nothing can be confirmed.
Isn't he the same reporter…
who was on Gadar’s trail?
-Hmm. -Ah.
His wife had registered a complaint, three days back.
Missing report.
You know what?
I think the murder happened two days ago!
After that, the head was chopped off with a saw.
It was recovered from Gadar’s tank, right?
I hope Gadar has not turned into a psychopath!
First his wife's death, then his suspension, then daughter's custody…
and now this case.
Do you think he's gone rogue?
Hmm?
Well… I hope not!
But get to him Sanjeev… before he gets to someone else!
"You looked very cute in the blue pants."
"Shoot a few glances my way, when you’re on a call."
"I’ve had half of the coffee, and left the rest for you."
Pinky wrote all this?
Romeos slit their veins and bleed to death in love.
He’s still better off writing slips.
That too, seven!
He was being very sentimental, Sir.
He turned these in without too much coaxing.
Sir, there’s one more thing that I need to tell you…
Just a second, my phone’s ringing.
It’s Mr. Sarwalia.
Yes, Jai Hind, Sir.
Yes, Sir!
Is it? I'll be right there.
Okay, Sir.
These goons from Loki and Jayyu gang, their asses…
I mean, they are constantly at loggerheads.
Their gang has burnt down two shops.
-I’ll go and give them a good thrashing! -Why?
Aren’t the Rakshaks able to maintain peace and order?
Sir… everyone looks out for their interest in riots.
All of this Rakshak business just becomes a farce!
It’s been quite some time since the riots have begun.
Sunny Jha hasn’t made any video on this yet.
Sunny Jha!
He used to call himself "The marginalized joker."
He’s a total fake!
The story is over, the drama is over, and people have stopped watching…
Motherfucker, Sunny Jha!
He’s a bastard!
Well, Sir.
One more thing… I mean, I have to pass on information, Sir.
There's an order from the Headquarter, Sir.
Your house has to be sealed.
You know, Sanjeev,
you should come to see how our horses blaze the racecourse track!
It's a different kind of high!
When the horse starts galloping fast…
it's… it's just something else.
You just can't afford to miss it!
But when…
the reins of the same horse start slipping out of hand…
it can turn back and attack the jockey, as well.
And what needs to be done in such a situation…
You know it, right?
Sir, I know Gadar Singh very well.
He can make a thousand mistakes…
but…
he cannot kill anyone!
Sanjeev…
You need to learn a lot about optics.
Optics matter a lot…
in new-age India.
And as far as the truth is concerned…
we have left it far behind.
Isn't it?
Well, did you find out,
who he was?
Sir, we have found half a piece of an I.D. card…
and that too from the tank.
The details are illegible…
It's difficult to comprehend anything.
We have a strong hunch that…
it is Sunny.
The journalist.
Yeah, sure, I will take care of it. Sure.
Why have we come here?
Neither do we have money for the investigation…
nor the family’s past.
-And we’ll find it here? -What?
"Money and the past"?
Yes, more or less.
Hello. Welcome to Hotel Oracle Lodge.
How can I help you?
Uh… can I have some water?
Left!
