too.

You can get fake medical bills

very easily, Sawant.

Anyway, he's been throwing

bills at us from the word go.

But, there is an entry in the

lodge register for the 2nd.

The bus and film tickets for the

3rd are authentic, right?

That's a valid point, ma'am.

Very well played, fourth grade

dropout, Vijay Salgaonkar.

But, I know how you did that.

Vijay went to Panaji on 3rd October

in Sam's car.

He took a take away from

a restaurant.

Then, he probably

bought a used phone.

He put Sam's SIM card into it.

Then, he dumped the phone into

a truck with a national permit.

Then, he probably dumped Sam's

car into the lake at the quarry.

Then, he went back to a restaurant

and bought four Pav Bhaji takeouts.

He purchased four tickets

to the cinema, on that day.

Then, he went to Taligaon

bus stand...

...and withdrew the money

from the ATM at 3:00 pm.

Then, he took a Kadamba bus...

...bought 4 tickets and got back

to Pondolem.

He went to his office at night.

He told Jose, he was going for

the sermon, the next day.

The next morning

he took his family...

...and travelled by Dinkar's private

bus to Panaji.

Vijay told him he was going to

Panaji for the sermon.

On reaching Panaji, he may have

reached the hermitage at 9:00 am.

Then, they spent the whole

day at the ashram.

Meanwhile, he found out

about the DVDs for the sermon.

He booked it under an

assumed name.

They arrived at Rishabh Lodge

in the evening.

Then, I guess, while the manager

gave Nandini the tour...

...Vijay filled his name in

the entries for the 2nd.

Then, when the manager returned

he disguised his handwriting...

...and took the room under

an assumed name.

They ate out at night.

The next day, they ordered

food from the same restaurant...

...where he bought the

take aways on the 3rd.

After checking out of the lodge,

he took his family to the hotel...

...where he had order four Pav

Bhaji takeaways.

Again, they ate pav bhaji there.

They made friends with the owner

while paying the bill.

Then, they watched a film.

They got acquainted

with the projectionist.

Later, while withdrawing money

from the ATM at the bus stand...

...Vijay got off the bus.

But, he didn't enter the ATM.

They made friends with the

conductor on the Kadamba bus.

They got back home and

a few days later...

...Vijay watched the sermon

with his family.

Then, he destroyed all

the bills for the fifth.

He showed us bills for the 3rd.

A few days later he went back

to Panaji with his family.

He met everyone, once again.

Then, he very cleverly,

talked to them...

...and implied...

...that, he and his family went

to Panaji on the 2nd for a sermon.

He got back on the evening

of 3rd October.

So, they all didn't realize they

were giving false testimonies.

They kept thinking

they were telling the truth.

Master stroke.

So, Vijay Salgaonkar...

...mocked the entire

police department.

And despite knowing

about all of that...

...we have no proof or evidence

against him.

All we have is a theory.

Without proof or witnesses...

...a confession is

the greatest evidence.

What do you mean?

Where are you taking me?

- Come on!

Let him go!

- Come on!

Don't shout!

- Come on.

Let me go, sir.

- Get in.

Take them all away!

- Get in, come on!

How can they take them away?

Let us go!

I will need your help.

What do you want me to do?

- If the police takes us again...

...just call these people.

Where is my son?

I don't know.

We weren't at home.

Do you think, the police are fools?

We have figured out your

plan, Vijay.

It's no use lying, now.

We know, you were

not in Panaji on the 2nd or 3rd.

You were there on the 4th and

the 5th.

You didn't attend any sermon.

Why did my son come to

meet you?

What happened with

the two of you?

I never met Sam after

the camp. Really.

Listen to me.

I've had enough

of your stories.

It's over.

You better tell me the truth.

Or we have other ways to

do this.

I'm telling the truth,

I don't know anything.

You know how I feel, don't you?

After all, you are a mom.

Tell me the truth.

My son came to meet your daughter

and vanished.

What happened with them?

We have already told the truth.

Gaitonde!

Tell me, what's the truth?

Tell me!

Tell me, what is it?

Please, don't!

- Get back!

Speak up!

- Dad!

Tell me!

Let's see, how much you

can take.

Tell me!

Dad!

Tell me! Where is Sam?

Tell me!

Tell me!

- Don't hit him.

What the heck!

Tell me!

You better tell me.

Please, ma'am.

Please, tell him to stop.

Please!

Speak up!

Please!

Gaitonde!

Where is my son?

Speak up!

- Come on!

Come on, speak up!

Tell me!

Tell ma'am where her son is!

Tell her, where is Sam?

Tell her!

Speak up!

Tell her!

He came to meet you, right?

Tell us where is Sam?

- Go on!

Speak up!

- Mom!

Tell us, where is Sam?

Alex is here.

Send him in.

- Tell us!

Tell us, where is Sam?

- Meera, tell them to stop, please.

Alex is here.

- Speak up!

Tell us, where is Sam?

Okay, stop it.

Come with me.

You...

- Gaitonde, stop it!

Get back.

Vijay, tell me what you know.

Do you people enjoy

getting bashed up?

I'm telling the truth.

I don't know anything.

Do you know this girl?

No, aunt.

Alex. Sam was with you

at the nature camp.

Sam is missing for 26 days.

You know that.

I am sure, she is connected

to his disappearance.

So, please, if you have

any information...

...do tell us, right now.

Uncle, I don't know anything.

You called Sam on the day

he vanished. Correct?

But, you refused to

admit to it the other day.

Are you going to tell me,

or should I tell them?

Aunt, I spoke to him, but...

...he didn't tell me

where he was.

How is she connected to Sam?

Tell me, or I am going

to slap you.

I'll tell you.

Stay here.

Hey, bro! Send this to me.

Sorry, not yet.

Why? Send it!

- Not now.

First, I should make use of this.

Ma'am. There is a huge

crowd outside.

The media is asking for you.

Tell them to get lost.

Don't let them get in.

Call for reinforcements,

if needed.

Now what?

What do we do?

We'll end this.

Go out, everyone.

Gaitonde, you stay here.

I found out about

the video clip.

Where is Sam?

We don't know, ma'am.

I'm telling the truth.

Gaitonde, I want the truth.

Do whatever it takes.

- Yes, ma'am.

You darn...

Where is Sam?

Tell me, where is Sam?

Tell me!

Tell me!

You tell me!

Tell me, where is Sam?

- No!

Where is Sam?

- Mom!

Tell me!

Don't you know?

Leave her.

You must know!

Tell me, what did you

do to Sam?

I don't know.

- You don't know?

Tell me!

Are you obstructing a police officer?

Are you holding

the police back?

You!

Get lost!

Are you holding

the police back?

Are you holding

the police back?

Are you holding

the police back?

Are you going to talk?

Tell me, where is Sam?

I don't know, sir.

- You don't know?

You don't know?

Listen, I am going

to kill all of you.

Tell me.

Won't you tell me?

I don't know.

You don't know?
