Hello! Hello!

Sir?

What the hell!

Home Ministry!

A lot of thought must

have gone into it's name.

That caught my attention.

And then look at the irony.

We are both Fathers.

You haven't given us proof of life.

No need, I know he is alive!

And he will stay that way for now.

You must have run a

polygraph test on my voice.

You must know by now.

He is using an internet phone. IP

address is masked. We need more time.

What happened to my demand?

What will you get out of all this?

Let us talk, we can find a solution...

- Shut up!

I had given you the solution!

Why didn't you search?

These things take time.

We are trying our best.

Thousands of files, TV reports and..

You will have to scan

files like common people.

Or you won't be able to?

You are not used to it.

That is why give us some time.

You are asking time to find me,

not to do what I asked.

You won't find me.

Technical department must

have told you why.

Then again I am a common man, and

look like one. Hovv will you find me?

I look and dress just like

the other 1.25 billion.

You won't find me.

I guarantee you that

you can't find my location.

Don't waste time, get to the point!

Did you find out

why my son went missing?

Which state are you from?

Where did this tragedy occur?

Now who was that?

The attitude in the voice

sounds like the Big Boss.

But something in the

voice says it was a Father.

Even the Home Minister

doesn't know where my son is?

Why are we wasting

each other's time?

The list is long, if you delay

like this how will we find your son'?

That is true.

So many people must have lost their

sons recently, the list must be long.

Otherwise wouldn't you've

got your son back by now?

Make some efforts. Face hardships.

At least you will get an

idea what hardships feel like.

Officer, give me your number.

Write it down.

011-62826242.

Sister.

- Tell me.

Sister.

- Is it paining? Tell me..

This was lying outside.

I accidentally dropped it.

- That's okay.

What is he trying to say?

- I'll check on him.

Don't do it.

Don't cry.

Don't cry.

DON'T!

You will get better soon.

Everything will turn out fine,

don't cry.

I want to go home.

Let me go home please.

You won't understand

what I am about to say.

Not today. not tomorrow.

Five, ten, maybe fifteen years down the

line my words may affect you.. deeply.

Maybe even change your life.

But right now, don't do anything.

Don't say anything.

I am scared. I am angry.

I might end up doing

something terrible.

Only recently have I learnt

what terrible feels like.

Okay?

Jaya, get some sleep.

Jaya.

Okay, fine. I am sorry.

Champion School was my idea.

I cut down on the security.

It was a lapse.

Can I talk to my mom?

No.

I hate you.

Your hate doesn't matter.

But my hate, it matters..

It is capable of much worse.

"Technical department must

have told you why."

It's confusing.

By his style of speaking,

he could be from anywhere

It's a neutral accent,

he could be trained or not.

He talks like a civilian but his clarity of

demand is that of a trained group.

So, he can be from any of the locations

we short-listed on the basis of tragedies.

Excuse me sir.

We have zeroed down on Hyderabad,

Nashik, Mumbai, Almora and Jamshedpur.

National Integration.

I don't appreciate your sarcasm.

- I was just...

You be quiet!

Sir.

- Yes.

We will need to visit each victim's house

to check if any of their relatives.

Have recently been to Delhi,

Rajasthan, UP or Dehradun.

Only your bureau can carry out

this task in these states.

Hold on.

Vvhat is more dangerous?

- What?

Let us eat something.

Look, I don't want to fall sick again.

Let us eat there.

Add the bill in your list of demands.

If you don't have the money,

my Father will pay for it.

Now let us go.

Cooked food doesn't spread diseases.

Diseases are spread because of

the dirty water your people provide.

Did you get that Your Highness?

You will be eating here.

- What's your problem?

Why should I tell you?

Why should I tell

you what's my problem?

What's my problem!

You people dismiss our needs.

No more asking. From here on,

I will snatch it away!

Everyone will listen to me now! Come!

Look, don't force me!

- Come along!

I am sorry! I was making excuses.

I feel like eating french-fries,

or curry-rice.. Things like that.

Only that will suit me.

My stomach hurts!

Okay wait a minute.

Let's go then.

Did he buy it?

Got him!

You got your way because you

reminded me of someone.

Not because of

your cunning ways.

French-fries.

Come on.

This man is travelling in

the North or North-West Interiors.

And that's why he isn't being spotted

on Airports or Railway Stations.

He is travelling within the interiors,

he is using buses, tempos and autos.

Based on the list of tragedies.

He is either from Uttarakhand,

Jharkhand, Maharashtra or Telangana.

And considering the time after kidnapping,

he can be in Rajasthan, UP or even Delhi.

Cover towns of population

of ten thousand to cities of..

One lakh, using the

police and local agencies

For the kid's safety, do not

disclose the reason for the Alert.

Just warn them,

a terrorist of this profile..

Using an eight year

old for cover is on the move.

What are we doing here?

Our train leaves in the evening.

What will we do until then?

Everyone is quiet,

no one is speaking up.

Nothing on television either.

So what had happened?

Why are you doing all this?

What's your damn freaking story?

Your freaking story..

Your story..

I will give you one tight slap!

Am I some clown to entertain

you with my stories?

I will shoot you! And then Cheeku.

DO it!

My Dad will squish you.

I have seen what

your Father is capable of.

Father. Father.

He is the Home Minister,

he will easily find you.

I know he is the Home Minister

and I know he will find me!

But he is not a father!

A real father would have been on

his knees to get his son back.

I thought he would

definitely do something.

But he isn't a father!

We wouldn't have been comfortably

sitting here otherwise.

No he...

Just shut up!

Lam losing my mind.

Don't test my patience.

People know only half the story.

Time to complete the story.

To be born in India is no big deal.

But it is when they are born to us.

Or people like me

make a big deal out of it.

He was so small.

I feared I would lose him

if I touched him.

Sister, would you please

pick him up for me?

Aren't you the father?

You should be picking him up.

No, not me.

These are hands of a labourer,

I might hurt him.

You will spoil him.

He will disown you when you grow old.

Hold him!

Wait a minute!

I'll Will take him?

Wait a minute!

Nothing will happen?

So vulnerable, that the parents decide

to become their pillars of strength.

And when this responsibility

comes on a single parent,

he needs double the strength.

Like I did.

Is Mom in Heaven?

Some people do call America Heaven.

Why did she go there?

She went there to work,
