I've been assigned

to a major case.

What is it about?

A yellow Hyundai Getz car...

...was recovered from the lake in

Paavelim stone quarry.

That's in Paavelim, right?

Why do you have to get involved?

It's true but, I can't help it.

The IG's office called, directly.

The car belongs to

the son of the IG, you see.

The IG will obviously employ

the entire police force to work.

Mr. Sawant and I are working

on this case together.

I'll leave, now.

What do you care?

Mr. Sawant.

What's wrong? Everything okay?

- Yes, of course.

Gaitonde, don't shoot your

mouth off.

Don't drag Vijay into this, just

because you have issues with him.

I saw him getting into the car.

It's just...

That's not all.

A little while ago, I mentioned the car.

He was disturbed.

You'll see...

...even if he is slightly

apprehensive, he will look back.

He's going to turn, now.

So, now what?

You've lost it, Gaitonde.

Vijay Salgaonkar and the IG's

son, Sameer Deshmukh...

What's the connection?

Sir, Gaitonde and Vijay

can't stand each other.

That's why, Gaitonde is trying

to implicate Vijay.

Or he is mistaken.

Sir.

Sir, on the 3rd of this month

at 7:
15 am...

...I went to Subhash Salvi's place

for passport verification.

I saw Vijay Salgaonkar there.

I am absolutely sure.

Where were you on the afternoon of

the 2nd of this month?

We went for a sermon to Panaji.

When did you get back?

- The next day, on a Sunday.

At what time?

- In the evening.

Where was the sermon held?

- In Panaji.

Where, in Panaji?

Patto...

In Patto colony.

Really? Was it in Patto colony?

The hermitage is there.

That's where the sermon was held.

Vijay, what's going on?

Will the police

actually come here?

Absolutely.

We don't know when

they will come.

But, they will certainly come over.

But, you don't have to worry.

The police has no clues

about Sam.

And, they don't have any evidence

either.

But, they will try to

gather evidence.

So, they will cross question you.

Either they will ask nicely

or they will scare you.

Your mom and I may be

beaten up, before you.

But, if they don't get the answers

they want, they'll let us go.

So no matter what happens...

anything at all...

...you can't change your statement

under any circumstances.

Just stick to your story.

Can you both do that?

Dad, will they beat you

and mom up very badly?

Don't think about that.

When you are naughty,

I hit you too, right?

That's about it.

Don't be scared.

It's late.

Go to bed.

Good night.

- Good night.

Vijay, how are we going to prove

we weren't here on Saturday?

Someone must have seen you at

the office or at Martin's corner.

Of course, they must have.

- Then what?

Nandini, what happened to us...

...has left us with only

two options.

Either we give in...

...or we stand up and fight.

I don't think, we've done

anything wrong.

So, there's no way

I'm going to give in.

We will fight.

Now, this is a game.

We may win, or we may lose.

But, I can guarantee one thing.

No matter what happens...

...you or the kids won't

go to prison.

I can't say for sure,

that it was Vijay Salgaonkar.

Really?

You said, it was Vijay.

No, when you asked, is that

Vijay...

...I thought, it was probably him.

But, I can't say for sure

it was him.

Who did you see?

Sir, I couldn't see too clearly.

I can't tell if it was Vijay

or someone else.

When he mentioned Vijay,

I had a doubt.

Was that the car?

It was yellow, like this car.

But, I can't say for sure.

Salvi, there must be something...

...that you can be sure of!?

- Gaitonde!

You?

Sir, I didn't see the

license number.

But, it was yellow

like this one.

There are many yellow

cars, like this one.

Sir, a retired professor

lives next door.

He has the same kind of

yellow car.

Oh, then it could be that car.

What? You could say that

for sure?

He thinks he's so intelligent!

Sir, a fax from the IG office.

Sir, Sameer Deshmukh went on

a school trip, the last month.

Two students from Vidya Vikas

Vidyalaya were there, too.

I have their names

and addresses.

One of them is Anju Salgaonkar.

Vijay Salgaonkar's daughter.

Adopted.

Adopted?

- Yeah.

I didn't know that.

Yes, sir. When Vijay was 21

years old...

...he found a baby near a

garbage bin on the road.

Someone had abandoned

that little baby.

Vijay is an orphan himself.

That's why, he took the

child home.

Later, he adopted her legally.

I always thought Anju and

Vijay were related by blood.

What is this, Gaitonde?

Shame on you for accusing such

a decent man.

Sir, sir!

Just because he adopted an

orphan, it doesn't mean...

...that, he can't commit crimes.

We just found out...

...Sameer and Anju

are connected in some way.

I think, we should arrest Vijay...

...slap him around a bit

and he'll spill the beans.

Don't let this information

leak out of this station.

It's...

- 1 1 :
30 am.

A square plus B square equals

A square, plus B square, plus 2AB.

A plus B whole cube equals

to...

...a cube, plus...

- Ma'am.

Anju. The principal

wants to see you.

Yes, ma'am.

The police has one last piece of

evidence to prove what happened.

Our fear.

So, forget what happened.

Try to behave normally.

The police do not know

what happened in this house.

They will question us on the

basis of circumstantial evidence.

We have to answer them

without any fear.

They will fake things, too.

But, you knew Sam.

Don't ever refuse to accept

that.

Just don't tell them anything

that happened in this house.

May I come in, ma'am?

Are you Vijay

Salgaonkar's daughter?

Yes, sir.

Do you know this boy?

Oh, that's Sam.

So, how do you know Sam?

I represented my school at a

nature camp, last month.

That's when I got to know him.

Was it just an acquaintance,

or...

No, sir. Just an acquaintance.

Just like all the other students

at the camp.

There were thousands of students

at the camp,

how come you remember

Sam's face?

Sir, Sam was quite famous

at the camp.

Why?

He took pictures

of girls at the camp.

He shot videos, too.

Then, a lawyer's daughter

complained about him.

Oh, I see.

Did Sam ever come to meet you

after the camp?

No, sir.

- Why are you lying?

We were told, he came to

meet you.

Who told you that?

Did Sam tell you?

Yes, he did.

Sam told us.

Sir, Sam is lying.

Did Sam come to meet you...

...on the 2nd of October

at your place?

To my place?

- Yes.

Not at all.

Besides, we weren't home

on the 2nd of October.

Where did you go?

Swami Chinmayanand was holding a

sermon at Panaji.

We all attended it.

Who all attended it?

Mom, dad, my younger

sister Anu and me.

When did you get back?

- The next day, the 3rd.

Did the sermon last for 2 days?

Yes, but, we attended it only

on the 2nd.

After that, we stayed in a hotel...

...and saw a movie the next

day, before returning home.

I see.

Ma'am. Show us the attendance

register, please.

Let's see, whether she came

to school on the second.

There was a holiday
