Katherine.

Katherine.

Kat...

Don't want to ruin your breakfast.

Okay...

then, you called the Police.

The Police wanted to take you

to the Station for questioning

and that's when you ran.

Why did you run?

Do you know how they behaved

I got scared.

Hey... Hey...come with us.

- Me?

- Well, we can't take her now. Can we.

So you'll have to come

with us instead.

I'm the one who called you.

Yes but...

That doesn't mean you didn't kill her.

Are you suspecting me?

Until the case is solved...

We suspect everyone.

- Come on...

- Let's go.

- I want to talk to my lawyer.

- First Talk to us, mister. Let's go.

Sir, guilty until proven innocent.

- Let's go...

- H urry up.

You see, sir...

In 95% of the cases, it's always

the husband who kills the wife.

Sometimes it's because

he's had an argument

with the neighbor but

takes it out on the wife

or it could be because

he didn't get enough dowry...

In fact, sometimes it's because

he didn't like her cooking.

Nobody says a word in the beginning.

But once we reach the station

they start singing like a bird...

- And that's where we're going now, right?

- Yes. Come on.

- Can I use the washroom?

- Huh?

Toilet?

Yes, of course.

Everyone's sh scared

to see the Police.

Tam be...

Instead of looking for the real criminal

they were framing in on me.

What else could I do?

- Send the body for post-mortem.

- Okay sir.

- What's taking him so long?

- I guess he's taking a big one.

Go...

Let's go, mister...

we've to go home.

We won't do anything... Come on

Kadam sir...

Kadam sir, he's escaped.

Running was a big mistake,

You see the Police are like dogs.

If you had just stayed still

we would've sniffed

and left you alone.

Anyway- - -

Let's say that you ran away

because you were scared.

But why did you kill Shekhar?

I didn't kill Shekhar.

I didn't even know him.

I was driving very fast.

I was injured.

...and in a lot of pain.

Excuse me...

Can you please help me?

I was in an accident.

- I really need your help.

- I am sorry.

- Please go elsewhere.

- No-no, one-second ma'am.

My name is...Vikram Sethi.

I am a writer.

- I lost my phone in the accident.

- Just leave, please.

Just one second.

Excuse me. I need to...

I need to call a doctor, actually.

Please, can I make one phone call?

Please.

Just one call, okay.

Thank you.

Wait right here,

I'll go get the phone.

In breaking news,

the wife of Vikram Sethi,

writer of the famous novel

'Shadow Beneath the Tree',

has been murdered.

And Vikram Sethi is suspected

to have killed her.

Right now the Mumbai Police

are looking for Vikram Sethi.

Checkposts have been

put up all over the city.

- You know what, just leave.

- No-no, just listen...

- Listen...

- I don't want to hear anything.

Get out of my house.

I don't care, just leave.

I was the one who called the police.

- Give me my phone.

- Listen to me...

- I said give me my phone.

- The police are trying to frame me.

- Listen...listen... Listen to me...

- Get out.

- Please believe me, I didn't murder anyone.

- I said get out.

Please, just listen

to me for a second...

Please don't open the door.

Go and stand there quietly.

Do you want my help or no?

Go and stand there.

- Yeah...

- I tried the key, but the door didn't open.

Why did you lock the door from inside?

- Come back tomorrow

- No-no...it'll only take 5 minutes.

- No...l said let it be.

- But, the dishes will stink later.

No, I said come back tomorrow

- Who's inside?

- There's no one.

- Where is sir?

- Sir is not at home.

- Please leave.

- Why are you behaving like this?

What happened?

You were standing

behind the partition

and, she was near the door.

Right?

Then why didn't she run?

Frankly, at that point

it didn't strike me as to

why she didn't run.

Then I thought that maybe

she really wants to help me.

But, ever since I

entered that house

I had this strange feeling...

something wasn't right

- Like...

- Like the coffee table was broken.

Shards of glass scattered everywhere.

Maya had a bruise on her neck.

And she had locked the bedroom

door from outside.

She...was definitely hiding something.

Maybe she murdered her husband

-and hid the body in the bedroom.

- Exactly.

- That's what I'm saying...

- And coincidentally...

After killing your wife,

you ran in to a house

where a wife had

murdered her husband.

Unbelievable.

- Sir, last night when l...

- Sir...

Just a minute.

You're a writer, aren't you?

You write well.

Please hear me out, sir.

Excuse me.

Si r, Maya's here.

Have you read any of his books?

Sir, he's just Chetan's

'Bhagat' (fan).

And, doesn't like anyone else.

Who arrested Vikram

from Katherine's home?

Inspector Kadam.

- Is he here?

- Yes, sir.

One second.

Take this one.

- Kadam.

- Sir.

Sir...

- Kadam.

- Sir.

- Did you arrest Sethi?

- Yes, sir.

Both the times.

Before he ran, and also afterward.

Why did he run?

Sir, Tambe scared him out of his wits.

He told him in 95% of cases

it's normally the husband

who is the killer.

We'll make you sing

like a bird in lockup.

He was scared s

Sir, one last thing.

There's another case

registered against him.

- Who?

- Sir, Vikram.

A girl who committed

suicide in Aram Nagar...

She was the same girl on

whom Vikram's novel was based.

Her father registered

a case against him.

- Thank you, Kadam.

- Okay, sir.

Sir...

Sir, I asked Maya

to sit in my office...

-and made sure...

-ls there another case registered

against Vi kram?

Yes, sir, actually...

A girl had committed suicide

and her father registered

a case against Vikram.

And, when were you going to tell me?

Actually, sir, it slipped my mind.

- There's so much work load, and...

-if this happens again

-you'll be off this case.

- Sorry, sir.

She didn't open the door,

how could I see anything.

- Fine.. Stop jabbering and leave.

- You're just wasting my time

and she hasn't paid my dues either.

- Call that girl's father.

- Yes, sir.

Maya.

- Hi, I am Dev.

- Hi.

Please, take a seat.

I am really so sorry

that I had to call you

in a situation like this.

Would you like something?

Some tea or refreshments?

Can I just see Shekhar?

No, I am afraid that's impossible...

Not before the post mortem.

Did you charge Vikram?

Ma'am, this isn't like

baking a cake

where you mix all the

ingredients and voila.

It's a murder case

and, frankly, I don't

even know the entire story.

I'll tell you whatever

you need to know.

But...he should be

punished for his crimes.
