Akanksha.

I think it was a bad dream again.

Where's Nia?

She has gone home.

Aunt's getting her breakfast.

Maya.

Akanksha. - Maya.

I was thinking about

your bad dreams.

It reminded me of my nightmares.

You get them too.

I used to during my pregnancy.

You know what, keep a

sharp object under your pillow.

You won't get it.

What sharp objects? - Anything.

Fork, knife, anything sharp.

You know. Just keep it.

Fine. I'll do it right now.

Thanks.

Mom.

Mom. - What happened?

What is it?

What is it? - Mom. Abhay.

Calm down. - Abhay.

Abhay. - Just a minute.

Abhay.

Let me check.

You calm down.

Let me see.

Let me see.

There's nothing.

Mom, there.

There. There..

Mom.

Mom, he was there.

Okay. - Mom, he was there.

There's nothing now.

- Everything was open here.

It's nothing. - Please believe me.

with the psychologist in two hours.

So, you try to sleep. Okay.

Thanks, mom.

And I am with you.

I am not going anywhere. - Yeah.

Sleep.

Maya.

Time to go visit your psychologist.

Nia.

Get up.

Get up.

Good girl, come on.

Did Nia talk to her father today.

I talk to him every day.

I see.

So, where does papa stay?

- He stays with me.

With you. - Okay, tell me..

..Where is papa at the moment?

l Papa is with me.

Yes, doctor.

Alright, I'll do that.

I know you love your father. Right?

But, does Nia know..

..that Nia's mother

loves her a lot too.

She loves you a lot, child.

Nia, your papa...

...isn't here.

He has gone very far away.

Your father is far away from you.

He will never return.

Nia, your papa is dead.

Excuse me.

Can you ask the doctor

if I can go in or not?

Sure, ma'am. Give me a moment.

Sorry, ma'am. He doesn't

seem to be answering the phone.

I'll just go and check.

Doctor.

Doctor.

Pankaj. I need your help.

Can you get to third floor,

plaza building?

Yeah. Thank you.

Bye.

Akanksha, take Nia home.

The inspector wants

to talk to me. - Sure.

Nia baby. Go home.

Shall we go home?

Hello, Maya.

Hello, inspector.

What are you doing here?

Nia misses her father.

So I thought that,

some counselling might help her.

Was Dr. Bhandari

normal when you met him?

Yeah. He was perfectly fine.

And I guess,

Nia knows about her father now.

Yes.

But she doesn't want to believe it.

Isn't it strange, Maya?

Every time we meet, someone's dead.

I guess...us meeting

is not a good omen.

Your husband's case has

been declared an accident..

..and closed.

But I don't feel

it's actually closed.

I visited Nia's class

teacher's scene of crime..

..I felt just like when I visited

her friend Paras's accident site.

Mrs. Sinha.

Yes. She's dead.

When we found her body, she didn't

have a single injury on her body.

Then, how did this happen?

Her throat was slit.

But you just said there

was no sign of injury.

Her throat was slit from inside.

From inside.

That's.. - Impossible. I know.

But that was a tragic death.

And, she wasn't alone.

- Who was with her?

She was four weeks pregnant.

I want to show you something.

Nayak.

Paras. Mrs. Vaishali Sinha.

It's there in all the

security tapes of the school.

All these killings

are related, Maya.

What are you hiding?

I...

You won't believe me. - Try me.

There are some things

even science can't explain.

Please tell me.

I... - Yes.

Maya.

Shall we go home?

Please come home tonight.

I will talk to you.

Maya. We're always there for you.

You take care.

Thanks, Pankaj. Bye.

Are you okay, Maya?

I am fine.

Did the inspector

ask you lot of questions?

No, but I've invited him home.

I want to tell him everything.

Do you trust him? - Yes, mom.

I'll get something to eat. - No.

Nia. - What happened, Nia?

Why are you laughing?

Papa says, your cooking's so bad,

even dogs can't eat it.

You think this is a joke.

Your mom's scared to death.

And your father,

you talk about all the time..

He was a monster.

He used to beat your mother.

- Akanksha, please.

And he's no more.

And guess what,

I am really happy he isn't.

And don't ever utter

his name before me.

Akanksha. - And, tell your papa..

..I'll never feed

him even if he's dying.

Akanksha, please.

Nia.

Don't worry, I'll handle her.

Nia.

Come, say sorry to aunt. Come on.

Nia. I am so sorry, baby.

I didn't mean to hurt you.

Come here. Come.

Nia.

Maya.

Akanksha. - Maya.

Maya, stop him.

Maya.

Open the door.

Open the door.

I am sorry, Mrs. Verma but..

..all the evidence

are against Maya.

I didn't do anything.

I've to arrest her. - No.

I didn't kill her.

Let's go. - Please.

Get up. - No.

Mother.

Nia.

Maya.. - Inspector.

You know, I didn't kill Akanksha.

Abhay's killed her.

Inspector, listen to me.

Nia.

Nia. You know who killed Akanksha.

Please tell them.

They will take mom away.

They will take mom away.

Please tell them.

Nia, please.

Inspector, please.

That's what he wants.

Please.

He will kill my daughter.

Why don't you understand?

He'll take Nia away. - Come on.

Nia. Nia.

I am sorry, Mrs. Verma.

I had to take her in custody.

But, looking at her condition,

I'll take her to the hospital.

So that, she can be

kept under observation.

I'll try my best.

Thank you.

Mrs. Verma.

You mean to say your

dead husband's spirit..

..possessed your daughter.

No.

He doesn't possess her.

- I'm confused.

You just said he talked

to your though your daughter.

That happened just once.

You mean you heard your

husband's voice just once?

Yes, he...called me. - Called you?

Did he call her and then you?

You don't believe me.

Abhay wants to kill my daughter.

And you think this is a joke.

Mrs. Verma,

we're trying to help you.

So, Mrs. Verma, did you

just hear your husband's voice..

..or see him too. - I don't care.

I don't care whether

you believe me or not.

I can even kill you

to get out of here.

Injection, get her the injection.

I need to save my daughter.

I need to save my daughter.

- Quickly.

Do you understand?

- Quickly. - Leave me.

Please, I need to get out of here.

Help me, please.

He believes me.

Save my daughter.

Please.

Open the door.

You...come quickly Pratap.

I have become all alone.

Police has taken..

She's in custody.

Leela, please don't panic.

I'll be there by tomorrow night.

I'll make things right, okay.

Just stay calm.

Priest.

Priest.

Priest!

No, please.
