She was ruined the day

I shot this video.

You've seen it today.

Soon, everyone on the internet

will watch it.

They'll know how she bathes.

I request you.

Please delete it.

I won't do that.

Don't you have any shame?

Delete it.

- No.

Please, delete it.

I told you, I won't do it.

I beg you.

Please, delete it.

We'll be ruined!

Please!

Alright.

I will delete the video.

But, you must give me

what I want.

What?

Anju.

Nandini!

Anju!

An...

Dad!

Anju, what happened?

Anju?

Nandini, what happened?

Why doesn't someone tell me?

I will delete the video.

But, you must give me...

...what I want.

Or, I will...

...upload this video online.

Anju!

Anju!

Anju, he's not breathing!

Sam! Sam!

Sam?

What happened?

- Mom, I can't get through to dad.

I guess, the line is dead...

Let's go.

Come with me.

Anju, get the spade.

What will we do, now?

I don't know.

I don't know how I got

the courage, to bury him.

But, I'm shaking all over, now.

Did I make a mistake

by burying him?

No.

You did the right thing.

No... if we had informed the

police at once...

...we wouldn't feel scared.

If we'd gone to the police...

...Anju's life

would be ruined.

I'm really scared!

Don't be scared. I won't let

anything happen to you.

See what I found

in the outhouse.

Did Sam have a car?

Yes, he had a yellow car.

He must have parked it nearby.

Have you checked the

outhouse, properly?

No.

- No.

Let's go.

Where did Sam fall when you

hit him?

Right there.

What are you searching for?

Blood. There's not a single

drop of blood here.

When you hit him with the

stick, did you hit his head?

Perhaps, it's an internal

injury.

We have to clean the

outhouse, thoroughly.

Just a moment.

Trace it, quickly!

As soon as the SIM card is put in...

Trace it fast.

- Trace the location of the SIM card.

Find out where he's travelling.

- We are getting the signal.

It's really easy to trace his

SIM now.

I've traced it, sir.

He's talking from the second floor.

- And he's travelling to Pune.

Sir, if he speaks for five minutes,

we'll have the exact location.

The SIM card has been activated.

So, the exact location...

Trace the SIM card.

- Sir, it's within a half...

...kilometer radius.

I guess

he threw the mobile away.

Sir, he's traveling via Rajasthan

to Haryana.

Don't leave the house

until I get back.

Don't call anyone.

Keep the doors and

windows locked.

It should appear as if no

one is at home.

Where are you going?

I have to find the car and

take it somewhere else.

Get back, soon.

Anju!

- I didn't mean to kill Sam.

I was just trying to

break his phone.

But, he didn't let go...

- I know. I know!

I don't want to go to prison!

Please.

Are you crazy?

I'm still alive.

I won't let you go to jail.

Nothing will happen to you.

Salvi, stop counting and

give all of that to me.

Is that all you've got?

Sir, isn't Rs. 500 enough?

It's not for a driver's license.

This is for passport verification.

You want to go to London

to meet your son, right?

How much for you?

- Sir, it's fifty five.

Do you think, it's raining money?

Fifty five, it seems!

Here, that's thirty.

Get going.

Alright, then.

Get me a gift from London.

What the heck?

Who is it?

Isn't that Vijay Salgaonkar?

It seems to be.

When did he buy a car?

Where does he live?

His garden is across the road.

Mom.

We'll be in big trouble,

because of me. Right?

Don't say that.

We are with you.

You don't know,

whose son he was.

Whose son was he?

Listen, I wanted to tell you...

...on the next weekend on

the 2nd and 3rd of October...

...Swami Chinmayanand

is holding a sermon at Panaji.

Come on, now!

Hey, move it!

Yes, sir?

- Can I buy a phone?

A new one?

- No, a used phone.

Sure.

Please make sure the battery

is fully charged. - Sure.

Here you are, sir.

How much for this?

- Rs. 900.

Here you are.

- Could you put the SIM card in?

Here you are, sir.

- Thank you.

How do I reduce the volume?

Here.

It's done, sir.

- Thank you.

You're welcome.

There is a stone quarry, about

15 kms away in Paavelim.

I mean, it used to be there.

We got it shut down,

after protesting against it.

There is a lake right in

the middle of it.

But, the project is

not eco friendly.

It's you! I thought, you'd

taken a holiday.

What happened, today?

Nothing much.

I collected the payments.

As always, Mrs. Pereira avoided

making the payment.

Okay, listen to me.

I am not here for 2 days.

I am going to Panaji for a sermon.

Sermons?

Nandini really wants to go.

We are leaving, tomorrow.

Take care of things.

Mr. Vijay.

Anything wrong?

Not at all.

Why?

Well, you just seem slightly

'off'. That's all.

Not at all!

But, if I find out, that

you've messed up...

...l'll rub you out!

Now, that's more like you.

Get lost. Don't screen too many

adult films.

Sure.

Who is it?

It's Vijay.

Don't cry, dear.

I'm back.

Dad, don't ever leave me again.

I won't.

Vijay.

Sam was the son of the

IG of Goa.

Inspector General of Police.

You're lying!

Tell me!

Patil!

Senior Inspector D'souza.

And Inspector Mohite.

These are the name of

the suspended officers.

Because of whom?

The court warned the

police department.

They may set up an enquiry, too.

Because of whom?

The murderer in this case is

roaming scot free.

Because of whom?

Because, both of you

testified in court...

...that, the police forced you

to make a statement.

Do you think, the police department

is a joke?

And you can do anything

you want?

I want you to give another

statement.

This time, make it the truth.

No, ma'am.

Ma'am, they will kill us.

They will kill you and so

you won't testify.

And so, both my officers

will stay under suspension.

Patil.

- Yes, Madam.

Did anyone see you

when you fetched them?

No, Madam. We were in civil

clothes.

Alright, then.

String them both up

with a noose around their necks.

Anchor them with a heavy stone

and toss them into the sea.

No one will know.

The corpses won't be found.

I won't waste my time on them.

No, ma'am!

Ma'am. We'll tell the truth.

Ma'am, they are innocent.

We will tell the truth.

Patil, when they come to

testify in the court...

...bring in their families.

Okay, Madam.

If they give a false testimony,

maim their families.

I don't care.

Why are you smiling?

Aren't you tensed?

- About what?

That boy...

Which boy?

Sam.

- Who's Sam?

The one who...

- Just a moment.

I don't know anyone called Sam.

And no boy entered this house.

From now on, we are

going to react just like that.

As if nothing happened.

Or the fear and tension

may cause problems for us.

I just realized that

a while back.

Before I arrived home,

I went to the office.

Jose asked me

if anything was wrong.

If Jose can figure out something

is wrong in a few moments...

...then, others can

figure it out, too.

But, when I answered him as

I normally do, he was assured.

So, forget what happened.

Behave as if nothing
