has a rare blood group..

..then he stores his blood with us.

So that if there's an emergency..

..then he can use his blood.

I see.

When was blood

required last in this case?

Will you check it and tell us?

Just a wait a minute, I will tell you.

Of course.

There was a requirement

for this rare blood group..

..on May 2008, 25th May.

And we received a call

from Ekbalpur Nursing Home.

Ekbalpur Nursing Home?

Not a single paper.

No records, nothing.

Must be. It's been erased.

Just like every

other records of Milan.

Mrs. Bagchi, this is a dead end.

Come on, Satyoki.

There must be something somewhere.

I am not going to accept defeat.

After making it so far.

You have always helped me.

I cannot go further

without your help, really.

There's a man who

may be able to help us.

He was once a police informer.

Sorry.

Come.

Careful. Careful.

Are you fine?

Thank you.

Sir, can you tell me

where is Paresh Pal..

Sir?

There. There.

Paresh.

No. I have no

connections with the police now.

But, Paresh, we just

need a small information.

Look, whether the

information is small or big.

I don't give it anymore.

Paresh Please.

Please leave.

If someone sees us then

it will create a problem.

Sir..

I am searching for my husband.

I came from London in

this condition all alone.

I just need an answer for my child..

..that what happened to his father.

I cannot force you,

but.. please help us.

Tell.

Have you heard about Milan Damji?

Who?

Milan Damji.

Milan Damji. No.

Two years ago, on 25th May..

..Bombay blood group was

required in Ekbalpur Nursing Home.

What for?

We just need to find that out.

Can you do that?

Laundry Didi?

Laundry Didi?

I am not Laundry Didi,

I am Bidya Didi.

Your transistor is giving chocolate.

Such a big chocolate.

So big.

Hello.

You did disturb me, I am

in a important meeting.

In the room with Vishnu.

Really?

When?

25th May, 2008.

Two men had a meeting here.

There was news about only

two people meeting until now.

But now it appears there was a

third person present as well.

And the blood was ordered

from Ekbalpur Nursing Home..

..for this third person.

So, was that third person Milan Damji?

I don't have anymore information.

Paresh..

Wait.

You will find the rest

of the information..

..at Park Street Police

Station or you can find Dr. Ganguly.

That night he was on night duty.

I remember that it was a police case..

..but I don't remember

what exactly it was.

It was two years ago.

Ready, sir.

Yes, I will be there.

Okay.

Give me a day, I

will check and tell you.

Thank you.

I need to go, I have a surgery.

Thank you.

Don't worry.

Please.

Thank you very much.

Yes.

Dr. Ganguly?

Yes.

Hello. Bob Biswas.

Hello.

Just a minute.

I remember that it

was a police case.

Stop it Rana.

Your computer is driving

me up the bloody wall.

Mr. Chatterjee.

What?

Hello.

Oh my, God.

Bidya Bagchi.

You arrived at the right time.

Hi, Rana.

You had shut this computer

up the other day, didn't you?

Yes.

Do it today as well, please.

Otherwise I will go crazy.

Thank you.

I will go meet the senior officer.

Come, come.

Oh, God.

No, no, keep seated.

He can return any moment.

Two people were killed

at Nonakpur Tram Depot..

..on the 25th of May.

One was Dinesh Rao..

..who was a police

informer in the Metro attack case.

And second..

Second was Vijay Verma

who was a government agent.

Government agent?

He's back, he's back.

It's done, sir.

Done, Mr. Chatterjee.

It's done.

That's nice, very good.

Thank you, thank you. Thank you.

Welcome.

Okay.

What is the matter?

Mr. Chatterjee, may I leave?

Yes.

Bye.

Bye.

Yes, mother.

I am coming.

Mrs. Bagchi, what are you doing?

Why are you cleaning it yourself?

Wait, I will call the staff?

No. no, no, no.

Come here.

I do the cleaning myself at home.

Sit. I cannot tolerate dust.

Pull a chair.

Speak, Satyoki Sinha.

Mrs. Bagchi, I

pursued the information..

..acquired from the database.

There is no mention of a

third person in the records.

Dr. Ganguly, Milan Damji,

Ekbalpur Nursing Home.

No one knows anything about them.

There are only

records of Vijay and Dinesh.

Vijay Verma was

investigating the Metro attack..

..at ground level.

Really?

That's why he met Dinesh

Raut at Nonakpur Tram Depot.

Maybe Dinesh wanted to tell Vijay..

..something about Milan.

And someone informed Milan about it.

Milan killed both of them and

got injured in the shootout.

But the question is

that how did Milan know..

..that Vijay is going to

receive information about him?

Maybe Khan was right.

There is someone within the system..

..who is helping Milan.

One more thing.

NDC is also involved in this.

Really?

Mrs. Bagchi, every agent

has a local, a fake identity.

Just like Milan Damji..

..even Vijay Verma worked for NDC.

To hide his true identity.

It must be him, take a good look.

No. it wasn't him.

Now, now, take a look.

No, Didi. That wasn't him.

It's not him.

Are you sure?

Sure.

Come, let's take Poltu back.

I was absolutely sure that..

Tyagi knew that Agnes is

looking for Milan's details.

And Tyagi stopped you.

Of course.

Didi.

What?

The suitcase.

It was him, Didi.

Are you sure?

Sure, it was him.

Who was he?

I don't know.

You take Poltu home..

..I will find out and meet you there.

Yes.

Good morning, sir.

Good morning, sir.

Good morning.

Turn around.

Turn around.

Didi?

Yes.

Will you have tea?

No.

Listen, when Rana arrives

will you ask him to call me.

The police officer?

Yes.

Okay.

Yes, fine.

Bye.

Sorry.

Rana.

I was waiting for you at

the tea-stall for so long..

Blood!

Oh no.

Rana, that's him. He tried to kill me.

Stop. I am the police.

Stop. Stop.

Stop.

Move.

Stop.

Stop.

Stop.

Oh, God.

Mrs. Bagchi, Bob Biswas

was a contract killer.

This is his phone.

And I have found these

photographs in his phone.

Agnes D'mello.

Dr. Ganguly.

And you.

This time you survived.

But the man who hired Bob..

..who doesn't want

anyone to reach Milan Damji..

I gave this photo to Agnes.

Just a minute.

Look.

I gave a copy of this photo to Agnes.

That means whoever gave

Bob the contract is in NDC.

No, no. It means you didn't

hear anything I said until now.

And you don't understand, Mrs. Bagchi.

Your life is in danger.

And I will have to

tell Mr. Khan about this.

Did you find out who Mr.

Briefcase was?

Mrs. Bagchi..

Who was he?

He is Shridhar.

The head of IT department.

Tyagi reports to him.

Rana, we thought that

Tyagi is doing everything.

But Tyagi was only

passing the information.

We have no such evidence.

Come, let's go to the police.

And yes, that phone is a evidence.

Please give it back.

Phone.

Rana look.

Bob has been sent this

message from some website.

So?

Once I hack this

website then I will know..

..whose computer these

photos were sent from.

What, you..?

You are a hacker?

Only in my spare time.

You do know that I am

the police, don't you?
