has happened.

Everything is normal.

What did you do about the car?

I won't tell you stuff...

...that you don't need to

know about.

Don't even try to find out.

Pack your bags.

We leave tomorrow morning.

Where to?

We have to stay somewhere

else for two days.

It'll be a good change

and help us relax.

If anyone asks you

where we're going, tell them...

...we are going to attend

Swami Chinmayanand's sermon.

But, that got over today.

Hello!

- Hi, Mahesh.

Are you going back or...

- Yes, I'll freshen up and go back.

Meera, did you speak to Sam?

I've been trying to call since last

night. His phone is switched off.

You call him constantly

and bother him, Mahesh.

So, he must have switched it off

on purpose.

That's nice. You're scolding

me for all my trouble.

You've allowed him to take

too many liberties.

Mahesh, kids want freedom

at this age.

We must give it to them.

Freedom? How much

freedom does he want?

We have given him everything.

A phone, laptop, 2 credit cards,

a car.

Why does he need all that?

Have you seen last month's

credit card bill? Rs. 60,000.

Yes, that's because, he bought

a new laptop.

And I've seen the receipt.

Why does he need another

laptop?

How does the receipt matter?

Did you see the laptop?

I haven't seen it.

Mahesh, stop doubting your

son so much.

He'll run away forever,

some day.

I don't doubt him.

I worry about him, Meera.

You're pampered him

to such an extent that...

Sorry. I'm getting late.

Okay?

If you speak to him,

tell him to come home. Okay?

Bye Meera.

- Bye.

Alright, tickets, please.

Mr. Salgaonkar!

Are you going on a trip

with the family?

Did you buy a new bus?

No, it's a used bus.

- It's nice.

Where are you off to?

We are going to attend our

spiritual guru's sermon at Panaji.

Give me four tickets.

- What's wrong with you?

I can't let you pay for

tickets on my bus.

Put it away.

- Thank you.

Alright, tickets, please!

Tickets!

" Dying every moment..."

" ...living for the moment."

" Barely alive..."

" It's stifling..."

" It's stifling..."

" I'm in pain."

" It's stifling..."

" Fear picks at my mind."

" It's stifling..."

" Dying every moment,

living for the moment."

" Barely alive..."

" It's stifling..."

" It's stifling..."

" It's stifling..."

" My lips ravaged,

I can barely speak."

" Bloodless limbs,

my body is drifting aimlessly."

" The tears

caught up in my heart..."

" ...my eyes glaze over with tears."

" It's stifling..."

" It's stifling..."

" It's stifling..."

" Why do I feel someone

watching me from a distance?"

" Did anyone come near me?"

" Does my shadow follow me?"

" But, my heart beat is

subdued."

" Barely breathing..."

" It's stifling..."

" It's stifling..."

" My breath catches

ever so slightly."

" It's stifling..."

" Why is every

moment stifling me?"

" It's stifling..."

" It's stifling..."

What did I say to you?

I know, but I can't seem to forget.

You have to forget.

Our fear is the one last piece

of evidence of what happened.

We have to get rid of that

as well.

And there's just one

more thing.

Get a bill for everything

you buy, from now on.

Groceries, vegetables,

fruits, pencils.

Get bills for the

most trivial things.

" It is stifling..."

" It is stifling..."

" My breath catches

ever so slightly."

" It is stifling..."

" Why is every

moment stifling me?"

" It is stifling..."

Let me speak to Kanvinde from

the cyber cell.

" It is stifling..."

" Dying every moment..."

" ...living for the moment."

" Barely alive..."

" It is stifling..."

" It is stifling..."

" I'm in pain."

" It is stifling..."

" Fear picks at my mind."

" It is stifling..."

" Dying every moment,

living for the moment."

Ma'am, we followed Sam's network

from Goa, Hublidarbar, Chittadurg...

...Bengaluru, to Tamil Nadu

and we lost trace in Kanchipuram.

After that, his phone was

switched off.

He has friends in Bengaluru

and Chennai.

Yes, perhaps, he went there.

But, why did the phone get switched

off in Kanchipuram?

" It is stifling..."

" Why do I feel someone

watching me from a distance?"

" Did anyone come near me?"

" Does my shadow follow me?"

" But, my heart beat is

subdued."

" Barely breathing..."

" It's stifling..."

" It's stifling..."

" It is stifling..."

" It is stifling..."

" It is stifling..."

ACP Rego.

Yes, ma'am.

Ma'am, we just found

the car here.

Who saw it, first?

A few kids who were swimming

here, found it.

How many days, do you reckon?

It's been about 2 weeks.

Excuse me, did you find anything

in the lake?

No, sir. Don't worry.

When the car was dumped,

it was empty.

Don't let this

get to the media.

Wrap it up.

The last call from Sam's mobile...

...was made on 2nd October

at 07:
12 pm.

The signal indicates, that it was

located in Pondolem.

His phone went out of

coverage at 10:
30 pm.

The next morning...

...his phone was switched on

once again at Panaji at 9:25 am.

After that, the phone

went to Kanchipuram.

Where it was switched off.

Ma'am, given the information

we have so far, I think...

...we should confine our

investigation to Goa.

For the time being.

Sam spoke to someone for

the last time on 2nd October.

Get me the details for that number.

- Yes, ma'am.

Yes? Send him in.

Ma'am, the account number

you gave us...

...was accessed at 10:00 am

on 2nd October...

...at a cash ATM in Panaji.

There is no transaction

after that.

How much cash was withdrawn?

Rs. 20,000, sir.

- Rs. 20,000?

Why did he need so much money?

Sir, there's more.

The phone which went out of

range on 2nd October...

...and the one which was switched

on, the morning of 3rd October...

...are two different phones.

The IMEl numbers are different.

Ma'am, possibly he withdrew

cash to buy a new cell phone.

I don't think so.

He bought a new cell phone

just two months ago.

I think, our son is in

big trouble.

Sir.

Hey, you.

What's this?

The Panchayat building tax.

I told you to pay that, right?

When did I tell you?

- It was...

Three weeks ago.

- Three weeks?

Sameer Deshmukh, the only son of

IG Meera Deshmukh.

He's been missing since

3 weeks.

According to the phone records,

he was in Pondolem on 2nd October.

This is the car, he drove in

here.

A yellow Hyundai Getz,

GA07, MJ 101 1 .

This car was recovered from

the lake at Paavelim Stone Quarry.

But, there is no sign of Sameer.

If you are facing a problem,

come to me and...

What's up, Digambar?

How is your son, now?

- He's fine, sir.

He will be discharged

within a day or two.

That's good.

Give me Rs. 200.

I don't have any money.

What do you mean, you

don't have money?

The hospital isn't treating

your son free of charge.

No, no...

- Come on, out with it.

What's in that pocket?

- It's nothing.

Let's see it!

Is that all?

Fifty rupees?

Get going.

Martin, give me a packet

of Pan Masala.

What? The Pan masala?

No tea for you today, Mr. Gaitonde?

No, I don't have time for tea.
