this time as well.

So, we will try to

save your Mrs. Bagchi.

You know, sir.

You know, yet you are..

Sacrificing her.

This is wrong.

You are intentionally..

Shut up.

You want to teach

me right and wrong.

My job is to protect the country..

..and anything I do for that is right.

If I have to sacrifice Vidya

Bagchi to catch Milan Damji..

..then that's right too.

Then what is the difference

between us and Milan, sir?

There's no difference.

We do it for the law and

he does it against the law.

That's why we are

right and he's wrong.

Love is a good thing, Rana.

But learn to use it

at the right place.

Meaning?

Your love that's telling you Go

tell Vidya Bagchi about Khan.

That's wrong.

This way you can save only one life..

..but what about thousands of

lives that Milan will take?

I wasn't going to tell her, sir, but..

Rajveer, take his mobile.

Don't let him go anywhere.

Not even to the bathroom.

No, sir. Nothing important.

Yes, so what were you saying?

Bidya didi.

Bidya didi.

Didi.

You are Sharma, aren't you?

Yes, why?

Khan sir is calling you.

Where?

In the AC.. OC chamber.

You go.

And he has asked me to sit here.

I will keep a watch on him.

Rana. Go.

Go, go.

What about you?

I will handle it here. Go.

Thank you, Chatterjee.

Rana.

Yes.

Where are you going?

I'll be right back.

Hello.

Triangular Park.

Hello.

Triangular Park. Triangular Park.

Get lost.

Sir, where is Rana?

To hell with him. Come on.

Rajveer, follow us.

Come on, hurry up.

Come on, come on, hurry up.

Where is Mrs. Bagchi?

She paid her dues and left.

Where did she go?

Didi went to Triangular Park.

Mrs. Bagchi.

Take a left from here, Mrs. Bagchi.

Mrs. Bagchi.

Where are the files?

Who are you?

What difference does it make?

Files.

Milan Damji..

..who was just a story until now.

I have very little time, Mrs. Bagchi.

If you want your husband back Files.

If I return the papers then..

..will you return me my husband?

Yes. Files.

Can you return him?

Think about it.

Who are you?

What difference does it make?

Mrs. Bagchi. Mrs. Bagchi.

Catch her.

Check him. Check him.

Catch her. She's

wearing a white sari.

I said she's wearing a white sari.

Are you blind?

Who was Mrs. Bagchi?

Vidya Bagchi was a story, sir?

Meaning?

Where is Mrs. Bagchi?

Didi went to Triangular Park.

Triangular Park.

This is a flying swan.

Where did you find this uniform?

This? It's my school uniform.

Back when I lived in Thakurpukur.

Any uncle. Anyone.

He has an uncle, who

lives in Thakurpukur.

Did you ever tell

Didi Vidya about this?

Yes, when we met for the first time.

I have heard many stories about it.

Check her hotel room

and her finger prints.

It's of no use, sir.

Why are you cleaning it yourself?

What?

Just one sign and

then you can leave.

Sign here.

Here.

And her husband, Arnab?

Oh, so you haven't

understood yet, sir.

What?

In the beginning,

you told her a story.

There is no one called Milan.

Yes, so?

And she told us a story.

My husband is missing.

Arnab Bagchi didn't stay here.

No, dear.

He didn't leave

London or land in Kolkata.

Milan was for real, sir.

But there is no

Vidya Bagchi nor Arnab..

..who looks like Milan.

Arnab didn't like to

get his picture taken.

Until Agnes didn't see

Arnab's photo properly.

And the day we find Milan,

we will find Arnab.

What the..

That means until now..

Correct.

She kept using us.

Sir, it seems like

Vidya Bagchi was hired..

..to find and kill Milan Damji.

And she used us to find Milan.

She wanted us to use

her as a scapegoat..

..to find Milan Damji.

And before we could arrest Shridhar.

Vidya killed him as well.

Sir, you gave Bhaskaran

and Milan to her yourself.

She knew.

No one doubts a pregnant woman.

What did you take from my computer?

Who is Satyoki?

Arjun's charioteer.

That's me, sir.

My name is Satyoki.

But who sent her?

And why did she help us?

Arup.

Sorry, we couldn't

save your child.

Arup took up this assignment

only because I forced him to.

It's completely my fault.

Arup must be really

happy today, Vidya.

He must be proud of you.

Because today you have accomplished..

..what we all couldn't.

You want to know a

strange thing, Colonel.

In the last few days..

..I completely forgot

that I am not pregnant.

It felt like..

..my child is still alive inside me.

It felt like..

I might find Arup as well.

I cannot live without them, Colonel.

I want my Arup back.

I want my child back.

Today, two years later.

The family of those

killed in the Metro attack..

..have finally got an answer.

Sometimes even

God's make mistakes.

Gods created demons.

Bestowed them with power.

But when they started

abusing that power..

..Gods created Mother Durga.

To destroy the demons.

It's said that Goddess Durga..

..was created by gathering

the strength of all the mothers

Every year the Mother

graces us with her presence.

Eliminates evil.

And goes back.

So that all of us can live

happily and peacefully..

..without any fear.
