Tell me.

- Mom! No.

Meera, stop him.

Please.

Tell me.

Where is Sam?

I don't know.

You don't know?

Look! If I hit them a bit

more...

...your mom, dad and sister

will die.

If you don't want that

tell the truth.

No...

- Tell us.

Tell me.

Listen, I'm going to kill

them all. Will that do?

Tell me, are you okay

with that?

Gaitonde.

She won't speak before

the parents. Send them away.

Please.

If you know anything about

Sam, tell us!

Where is Anu?

My daughter is in there.

- Wait.

But, my daughter is in there...

- You can't go in.

My daughter is in there.

- Wait.

Did he come to your house?

I don't know, uncle.

I want to go to my parents.

Be honest then,

I will take you to your parents.

You better be honest,

or I am going to get upset.

When I get angry...

...you know, what I can do.

Tell me the truth

or I am going to kill you!

We should tell them the truth.

Gaitonde is a monster.

What if something

happens to Anu?

I am really scared, now.

I am going to confess.

Then, everything will be fine, right?

- No, Nandini.

Why did we suffer so much?

Why did we take the beatings?

So we could give in?

I promised you, none

of you will go to prison.

I will keep my promise.

Anu...

Anu...

- Don't worry about Anu.

She's a brave girl.

Tell me, what is the truth?

- Uncle, I don't know!

I want to go to my mom and dad!

Meera, this is it.

Just stop him! Enough is enough!

What we're doing here is illegal!

What about my son?

Who is going to look for him?

We have to look for him

but this is not the way!

Who does this?

At least, have mercy on that child.

What are you doing to her?

And what's going to happen

after all this?

Did anyone tell you anything?

I tell you after all this,

if we find out that...

...this family is innocent,

we will really regret it.

I mean, just consider for a moment,

what if Gaitonde is mistaken?

Tell me the truth!

Tell me!

- Gaitonde! No!

Don't hit me!

I will tell you.

Mom!

Anu!

Where are you taking my

daughter?

Your daughter is taking us.

Where you buried the boy.

Your game is up, Vijay Salgaonkar.

All done.

Now, your next family

trip is going to be in prison.

Hey, get them all into the jeep.

Get back!

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Alright, let's go.

Come on, get back.

Get back.

Come on, Let's go.

Wait!

- Come on.

Let us go in.

He's our son.

No one is allowed

to meet the accused.

Accused? What has he done?

Wait. You'll find out.

Ma'am. Gaitonde did this.

Vijay stood up to him.

Gaitonde wants revenge.

Uncle, what's going on here?

We don't know yet.

They won't even tell

us anything.

That's my daughter

and son-in-law.

The police remanded them

without any call, a few days back.

They were interrogated.

Interrogated?

About what?

The IG's son is missing.

It's about him.

Who are you?

This is my son.

We all know Vijay

and his family.

They are good people.

They are being framed here.

Gaitonde, the man next

to Mr. Prabhu...

...has been responsible for this!

Meera!

You okay?

Anu!

Sorry, dad.

I was scared.

That's why, I told them.

That's okay, dear.

He hit you?

Yes.

Don't be scared.

I'm with you.

Meera. Meera, please.

Please...

Rajesh, Gaitonde hit us.

He hit our baby Anu.

We are innocent and still we

were thrashed in the room.

Gaitonde did it!

Wait, Gaitonde!

What the heck! You...

He hit my daughter.

Don't touch him, okay?

- Who are you? Get lost.

You hit a little girl!

Hit him!

He hit a little girl!

- Sawant!

Hit him!

He hit Anu!

- Ma'am. Sir.

Hit him!

- Meera, come, let's go.

Hit him!

He hit a little girl!

Don't you dare touch the child.

Hit him!

He hit a little girl!

In the case of the missing Sam

Deshmukh, son of the Goa IG...

...the police has

brutally tortured...

...Vijay Salgaonkar and

his family despite their innocence.

There is hostility

all over, against them.

After this incident, the Pondolem

police station...

...SI Gaitonde has been

suspended.

Orders have been sent

out for further investigation.

Senior PI Prabhu and

the officers on this case...

...have all been transferred

out at once.

The DGP has sent IG Meera Deshmukh,

on an indefinite leave.

In its verdict on a PIL,

the court has decreed...

...that if the police...

...wants to interrogate Vijay

Salgaonkar or his family...

...they need court orders

to do so.

Vijay.

Vijay, don't you think that...

...their lives are completely

ruined?

Anyway, it wasn't her fault.

She was an IG and a mother.

I feel as if we did the crime

and she paid for it.

It's good of you

to feel that way.

But, if it were Anju

instead of Sam...

...and vice versa...

...wouldn't IG Meera try

to save her son?

Of course, she would.

There's nothing wrong

or right about this.

A person can't live without

his family.

He can go to any extent

for his family.

The world may call him

self serving or selfish.

I guess, it's best to

forget about this.

Vijay, when did you

get the corpse out of the pit?

After I got back

from disposing Sam's car.

On Sunday night.

Where did you bury it?

I have kept that secret

safe in my heart.

That is best for all of us.

I will take it with me,

when I die.

Did you hope that Anu...

...would bear it all without

giving in till the end?

No.

I didn't think the three of you

could keep it together for so long.

Anu could have spoken

up earlier.

Poor Anu.

You've suffered a lot

because of me.

Dad, the police is here.

Why are you here?

Are you back to harass them?

We just want to talk to Vijay.

Do you have a court order?

What's up, Vijay?

- It's okay, you leave.

I'm going to change

and be with you.

We are not here...

...as the IG, the police

or a businessman.

We are here as parents.

We had given up hope

of being parents. But then...

...we suddenly had a son.

Our only son.

I guess, that's why we

pampered him so much that...

...we are regretting it today.

Vijay, when we thought

about it we realized...

...whatever our son has

experienced...

...or not...

...is perhaps, our own fault.

We pampered him no end

and ruined him.

That's why we wanted to

meet you, too.

Inadvertently...

...we have harassed you

and your family a lot.

Sorry.

We are sorry.

We are really sorry.

We are leaving the country.

To London. To live with

her brother.

But, before we leave, Vijay...

...just tell us...

...what happened to Sam?

Whenever there is a call

we think, it's Sam.

When the doorbell rings, it feels

like he's there.

We can't bear the suspense.

We can't live like this.

Just tell us, should we...

...wait for him?

Or...

That's all.

No, Meera.

It's not your fault.

I can understand.

Why would you trust us?

We are sorry, again.

Sorry.

Come, let's go.

Meera, let's go!

We are sorry, too.

I wish, I was as generous as you.

But, I am merely a fourth

grade dropout.

I have a wife.

I have two daughters.

And that's the extent of my world.

I have never thought

beyond that.

One day, my world...
