Yes, yes, yes.

Sorry.

This is the IP

address of the computer..

..from where the

photos the photos were sent.

And I am completely sure..

..this is the IP address

of that Mr. Briefcase.

And once that is confirmed..

..then we can find Milan Damji.

No, no, no. Mrs. Bagchi. Mrs. Bagchi.

This matter is very serious now.

And I still say that we

should go to the police.

We don't have time, Rana.

Mr. Briefcase will soon

find out that Bob is dead..

..and then he will try

to erase all the records.

No, Mrs. Bagchi, I..

Please.

We just have to access

Shridhar's computer.

After that we will go to the police.

Cross my heart and hope to die.

You think death is a joke, Vidya?

Mrs. Bagchi, I have

told you so many times..

..that your life is in danger.

You even witnessed

everything with your own eyes.

Even after that you

are joking about death.

Maybe because, after Arnab..

..life has become a joke, Rana.

Shall we?

Sapna.

Yes, sir.

You haven't left yet, Sapna.

Sir, the office is going to

shout for the Puja from tomorrow.

So I was completing my work.

It is very good to see

someone working so hard.

One day, when I get the

time I will take you out.

For coffee.

I would love that, sir.

Bye.

Good evening sir.

I am coming, darling.

Good evening, sir.

Good evening.

This is the visitor's entry book

Get the employer's book.

Sorry, sir.

Thank you.

Come.

It's not opening.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Rana please hurry.

Mrs. Bagchi, quickly do

whatever you want to do.

Bob.. Come on Bob,

pick up the phone.

Bob Bob.

Mrs. Bagchi, hurry up please.

Rana, just a minute.

I am almost there.

Mrs. Bagchi, what is happening?

Sapna was right, there are

many layers of protection.

It will take a little time.

Mrs. Bagchi, why is it taking

you so long to check an IP address?

Rana. Rana. IP address.

It's the same IP address.

Mr. Briefcase. We've nailed him.

- Are you sure?

Of course.

Guard! Guard!

Why are you sleeping? Get up.

Yes.

Was someone here with Sapna madam?

A man and a woman.

Oh no. Close all doors.

Don't let anyone go out.

Yes, sir.

Did anyone come down?

No, sir.

Where did they go? Where can they..

Hey

The back entrance, where

people go to smoke is it open?

Yes, sir.

Come.

We came out at the right time.

Oh no.

Mrs. Bagchi, come quickly.

Hello.

Sir we came out from the back

entrance.. Shridhar is following us.

What happened? Who are you calling?

Yes.

Please come quickly, sir.

We need help.

What happened?

I had to call Khan sir.

Khan?

Sorry. Shridhar is right behind us.

Maybe he knows.

Come.

What did you take from my computer?

Gun.

Where is my gun?

Come.

Let's go, Mrs. Bagchi.

Rana, bag.

Stop it.

Don't shoot. Don't shoot.

We want this man alive.

No, no, no. this man can't die.

Oh no.

We wanted this man alive.

Why didn't you call me earlier?

How will we catch Milan now?

How will we catch Milan without him?

Take him to the hospital.

Rana works for me.

Mrs. Bagchi, do you

remember what I said.

We've been looking for

Milan for the past two years.

And we had this last

option to find him.

You. You could do what we couldn't.

But you ruined the entire plan.

Actually, Mrs. Bagchi, there's

someone in the organization..

..who is helping Milan.

Mr. Khan couldn't

reopen the case himself.

So he asked for my help.

..so that we can

find Milan through you.

Do you love your job?

Yes, sir.

From today you will work for me.

Why me?

Because no one's

scared of a pregnant woman.

Especially one whose

husband has run away.

No one would've doubted.

But, Mrs. Bagchi,

only because of you..

..we could find out that Milan is

responsible for Vijay's death too.

And we could reach Shridhar

only because of you, Mrs. Bagchi.

You were using me.

Yes.

Your case was revived

only because of me..

..because Arnab looks just like Milan.

But we don't have time for..

And Agnes?

Dr. Ganguly?

Collateral damage.

One needs to make small

sacrifices in big battles..

..what's the big deal?

And me? My child?

Nothing would've happened to you.

I wouldn't have allowed it.

I took up this

assignment only because of you.

Mrs. Bagchi, we wanted Shridhar alive.

He was the only one

who could've lead us..

..to the man who is helping

Milan from within the system.

Listen to me carefully.

We have one last option.

You have hacked Shridhar's computer.

Do it again. We might find a clue.

Why should I help you?

I am not asking for

your help, Mrs. Bagchi.

I am telling you.

Mrs. Bagchi. Mrs. Bagchi.

Bishnu!

Mr. Khan.

This is the only code

that I don't understand.

Rest of the computer is clean.

CXWWEDFXZS.

Is that all you found?

Rana. Any idea?

No. I don't know.

What can it be?

Give me your phone, sir.

CXWWEDFXZS.

Sir, I feel this is a mobile number.

This is Bhaskaran's number.

What the..

Mrs. Bagchi. You will have

to do one last thing for me.

Mrs. Bagchi.

Are you listening?

Mrs. Bagchi.

Call Bhaskaran.

And lie to him that..

..you found some data about

him on Shridhar's computer?

Why should I do that?

Because Bhaskaran

is our last chance..

..to find Arnab and Milan.

Mrs. Bagchi.

I have always been rude with you..

This time it's a request, so..

Please help me.

Mr. Bhaskaran.

Yes.

Who is this?

This is Vidya Bagchi speaking.

Where did you get my number from?

From Shriddhar's computer.

I have found some more

papers in your name.

So?

Look, I don't care about

who you are or what you do.

I will return all your papers..

..in return I want the

government to help me find my husband.

Look, I don't know

why you are calling me.

I will inform my local office.

They will contact you.

Now?

If you want to see

your husband alive..

..then wait for my call.

Milan Damji.

Yes, I need a big brown envelope.

Okay.

Hello.

How are you?

Fine.

I had to make a promise.

But before that..

..this is for you.

Today's the last day of the Puja.

I cannot take this.

No, no, no, Mrs. Bagchi, this..

I still have the receipt.

I wanted to promise you that..

..I will help you in finding Arnab.

And when we find him, I will

make him pay for this sari.

This is from Arnab, not me.

I am sorry, Mrs. Bagchi.

I am really very sorry.

Thank you.

Sorry.

Paresh Pal.

Yes, Paresh.

You were asking about

Milan Damji, weren't you?

Yes, did you find out anything?

The news is that he

has returned to Kolkata.

Wow. Then Khan

sir's plan is working.

Only Milan can come see Vidya.

Bhaskaran doesn't

have any other option.

Vidya?

Yes.

As soon as Milan comes to

see her, he will be caught.

You want to sacrifice a helpless girl?

No, no, no, this isn't my plan.

This is Khan sir's plan.

And Mrs. Bagchi..

Move.

Call him up.

Sir, sir.

Sir, I am sorry.

Just a minute.

We will have to stop this

operation at any cost, sir.

Yes.

If Milan meets Mrs. Bagchi,

then her life is in danger.

So?

You don't understand, sir.

Milan never leaves

behind any eye-witness.

He will do the same
