Gawde, you go there.

And, I'll look here.

Call me if there's any message

on the wireless.

Okay, sir.

What the...

Control room beat number 4.

Hello, sir.

What is the situation

at Worii Checkpost.

Everything alright, sir.

Shinde, report to Haji Ali Road.

There's a traffic jam.

Tam be, come I n.

Tam be, come I n.

Vikram Sethi was last seen

near Palm's Court Society.

- Over!

- Tam be!

Tam be!

Tam be!

Tam be!

Tam be!

Open the door!

What's wrong with you?

- Were you sleeping?

- No, sir.

Mumbai's monsoon

is so unpredictable...

It starts pouring without a warning.

Let's go... Cuffe Parade.

Vikram Semi and the rim,

Both are getting on my nerves.

while you're sleeping

Sir, I don't see anyone.

Look... Hey...

- Sir.

- Come here.

- Sir.

- Where were you?

The bathroom, sir.

And have gone six

times since morning.

I had milk over fish and rice.

- And since then...

- Enough! We don't want details.

We're not making a sketch.

Did someone in a gray coat

come in Here?

- Around 6ft tall.

- Impossible, sir.

Why? You can see everything

from the bathroom

whose coming or going?

Toofan's is there, sir.

- He's Toofan?

- He's a very dangerous dog, sir.

Last time he bit two people

right in their Main Point (crotch).

How does a dog know

where a man's Main Point (crotch) is?

You can check yourself, sir.

- Tam be, go check.

- Sir.

- Hey, dog...

- Sir, it's Toofan.

Toofan...

- Stay sharp.

- Yes, sir.

What if that dog had bitten

my Main Point (crotch)?

It's not funny.

- Main point...

- And I am yet to become a father.

I need a son to carry

my lineage forward.

- Tam be...

- You have two.

- Tam be..

- The elder one's called...

Don't Move!

Tam be. Gawde.

This is R-J Anmo! with you

at the moment

But the one who's been with

you since morning is the rains

This monsoon

My advise is stay at home.

Don't step out in this weather.

Yeah.

I'll be there.

I said I'll be there.

Babe.

Babe.

Babe.

Babe... Where's my white shirt?

Oh...there it is.

Thank you, baby.

Light.

Oh god! This is really shocking.

The entire city of Mumbai

is talking about this

Famous novelist Vikram sethi

was taken into police custody

Come on.

There are no CCTV cameras here only.

They are all over the city,

but do they even work?

Your right, sir.

- Sir! Good morning, sir.

- Morning.

I am Sub-Inspector Gautam Kohli...

I am in-charge here.

Every-thing's under control.

You making tea at a crime-scene?

Are you out of your mind?

Actually, sir...

It's been a long night, sir.

They all were feeling sleepy.

So I only suggested

let's have a cup of tea

it will refresh us all.

That's why, sir.

It's a good thing

the crime scene is in a house

and not a dance-bar.

Otherwise you'll would be

throwing money.

No, sir...

It's nothing like that.

- Did you put ginger?

- I did...

But there isn't any Cardamom

Hey, mister, who killed you?

He isn't saying anything

why don't you tell me.

Sir, it's a very high-profile case.

This is Vikram Sethi,

he's a celebrated novelist in England.

And, he's in India

for the launch of his new book.

He's facing double-murder charges.

First, his wife Katherine Sethi.

And the second,

this lawyer Shekhar Sinha.

- Cause of death?

- Head injury, sir.

He hit his head on the table

which lead to his death.

Have a look, sir.

Blood is found on the table.

I've sent it to forensics.

So it's quite obvious,

sir, this is the cause of death.

Have you seen the wound on his head?

It's not caused by the table.

He's been hit by something heavy.

You call yourself Policemen... You're

not even fit to be security guards.

- Send it to the lab.

- Yes, sir.

- Send it.

- Yeah...

- Shravan.

- Yes sir.

- Send this to the lab for investigation.

- Okay, sir.

Its empty, sir.

And the one outside?

Tarn be, I told you to check

the one outside.

No, sir.

- Yes...sir.

- Then why didn't you?

- Sorry, sir.

- Go check it now.

What are these burnt things?

Sir.

Sir.

Okay.

Okay bye.

- Jai Hind, sir. Good morning.

- Sir.

Good morning. Good morning.

What's the progress

on Vikram Sethi's case?

We're still at initial stages, sir.

You know the department's speed.

We take a week just to get started.

We have to solve

this case in three days.

Sir in three days it's impossible

to find a missing dog

and this is double-murder.

Can't help it.

And you've got three days only

because it's a long weekend.

By then either we charge him

or we'll have to let him go.

We can't keep him in remand.

- Sir, are you serious? I mean...

- Listen he's a UK Citizen.

Plus, he's well connected.

And, there's a lot

of political pressure.

Then why don't we let him go, sir?

Acquit him.

Anyway It's become a trend...

Commit a crime in India

and flee to a different country.

One more won't matter.

Look, we've got to do it.

And you know you can do it.

You have three days.

Excuse me.

Jai Hind, sir.

How are we going

to do it in three days?

Go ask him.

It happens...

When you're on a Run.

Vikram Sethi...

You're a writer right?

Don't look like one.

I mean I always

thought that writers

dressed in homespun shins,

with a bag slung over their shoulder

and slippers.

But look at you...

I am Dev.

Your casemis under me.

Why did you kill your wife at home?

Stupid.

You should've taken her

to a Hill-station

and while she's busy admiring

the beautiful view

you could've given her a...

little push.

And as she spiraled to her death

You could have walked away a happy man.

No one would've suspected you.

What?

Oh yes...

Your wife's dead and

you're in a state of shock!

Where is Katherine?

Come let's eat and talk.

But skip the "I am innocent,

I haven't done anything" part.

Okay.

Last night was my book's launch party

at the Hyatt.

I was there since 7:30 pm.

Kat...

Katherine was resting at home.

The entire trip took

its toll on her...

She was tired.

The company,

which published your book

-wasn't Katherine their CEO?

- Yeah.

So she flew all the way from

London to India for the book launch.

But didn't attend the launch party.

How tired was she?

Katherine has a minor heart problem

since she was a child.

I mean 'she did'

She had exerted herself

in the last couple of days, so...

I only told her to take it easy.

That's why I also returned early.
