and grew fond of that place.

Did she love me?

Yes, of course she did.

That is what she would tell me.

And who wouldn't

fall in love with you.

Knock-Knock.

- Yes?

L-low m uch longer'?

Who is it? Who are you?

Dad, don't you recognize your son?

It is a family disorder.

My father never recognized me either.

There were so many of us too.

You know what happened one day.

One day I was sneaking in

with a kite, when my Father called -

"Who is this?"

"What do you want?

"Who are you?"

I said, "It's me, Nirmal!

Where are your spectacles?"

He said "Nirmal, I see.

So you are Bisheswafis son?"

I said "No, I am your son!"

"What, my son?"

I said "Yes, don't you remember

you put me in School last year?"

He said "Yes,

I did do something like that".

"It is getting cold.

Go oil your hair and sit in the Sun."

Dad this is a bluff.

L-low can anyone forget his son's name

I swear this used to happened.

By the time I was born,

my father had turned very old.

No teeth left, poor digestion

and no control over population.

There were 2, then 4,

then 8, then 16 of us.

Why can't we all live together..

In your big joint family?

Joint family..

Dad it is okay to lie.

Not to you.

You see, I was banished from home.

Your mother was not a Hindu.

So?

So! Exactly, that's what I said.

So!

You and I think alike, partner.

Sorry! It flew off by itself.

Will you read to me

the story you are writing?

You were screaming for 'Apu'.

I saw it on the lpad.

- Why should I tell you?

Halfway through my story

and I have lost all my anger.

I don't want to complete it.

The Hawk wants to prey

on me and I give up my fight?

I won't complete it!

I will give up my peace

but deny the Hawk it's victory!

I was naive.

I never troubled anyone for answers.

Always kept to my affairs.

Kept away from propaganda

and even the news.

Never indulged in political

views or opinions.

That was not my World.

My World was right in my lap.

I would stroke his hair.

He used to sleep in my lap.

Apu!

Apu!

I was the ideal voter!

Lost in a world of my own.

Busy making ends meet.

Believing in the dreams they gave me!

Trusting what was shown on TV

and written in the papers.

But you snatch my World away from me,

and I will tear into your World!

I won't complete the story!

I will leave it

incomplete in the middle!

You sleep.

Sleep.

We were the first to tell you that the

Home Minister's son Rohan was kidnapped.

Now Swatantra TV is bringing you..

The video posted

by that very kidnapper.

Did you see this Father-Son video?

Where could his son be?

"I know where your son is..."

"...but do you know where my son is?"

The Home Minister should promise him that

his son will reach home safe and sound.

Is this a clue?

What is the connection between.

The Home Minister

and the Kidnappefis son?

For the helpless ones..

The only option left

is to turn to violence.

The Home Minister must reply, that

is the clear verdict of the people.

If he feels that his

personal situation.

Is affecting his work, then

he will quit his office himself.

Nice!

You slapped him but

I felt the thrills.

You seem happy today.

The public opinion might have changed.

But not your Father.

"What is the connection between."

"..the Home Minister

and the Kidnappefis son?"

"Keep tuned in -"

Hitting the pause button

won't put a pause to all this.

What was he saying earlier?

"He is playing a game. Let him play."

Now he is winning the game.

He has become a hero.

The smarter he acts,

the faster he will fall.

Let him act smart.

I suggest that you

speak to the I&B Minister.

Get this video blocked.

Yes, a few more videos

and he will become an icon.

'John Doe', 'The Fearless One'

they are making him famous

with all kinds of names.

I agree with Mr. Nimbalkar.

I disagree.

The issue is not the videos,

it is Rohan's safe return.

On the fifth day now, other than

his growing popularity.

Is there any development

from your end?

There is.

These videos are giving clues.

And you want to block them off?

Will he be providing all the clues, or

can we expect something from you too'?

We found our first

lead in Uttarakhand.

We found Rohan's fingerprints.

And footmarks.

We found fingerprints of a man which did

not match with the owner of the hut.

These prints were not found

in any of our criminal databases.

This guy is a first timer.

A vigilante who is

out to prove a point.

Why hasn't he been caught yet?

Because he is constantly travelling.

L-low can you be so sure'?

We have checked every hotel,

every lodge.

We need more deployment.

This is not a job for the Police.

What use is that

technological setup of yours.

That man is from

a technical background.

That is the reason we aren't able to

track his location through his calls.

I said no calls.

Sir.

L-low is Jaye'?

She is not doing that well,

Mr. Prime Minister.

We pay a heavy

price for our public life.

We are receiving a negative

feeling from the ground workers.

The Opposition is giving

it's usual reactions.

Sympathy for your personal life.

And a demand for your

resignation in your public life.

Nachiket, you have only two days.

I just spoke with the PM.

Someone is angry.

Did the Home Minister just arrive'?

L-low strange'?

He doesn't even want to talk to

his son. What kind of a father is he?

Is Rohan with you?

So you are present there.

At least you are a

Father enough to speak up.

I want to talk to my son.

And I want to talk to my son.

I order you.

First have me talk to my son.

We are looking for him.

Where are you looking for my son?

We have records of

6 cities from 4 states.

All the tragedies that happened.

- You can't find a boy?

Write an application to me,

I Will find him!

I will do your job for you!

What good is your system?

Ask the Home Minister.

Is it only for filling

up your pockets?

My wound is fresh,

and I won't allow it to heal.

I will give you a wound and disappear!

You have until tomorrow. That's it!

The rest is your responsibility.

'My wound is fresh' means

it is a recent tragedy.

He could not have taken more

than a month to plan all this.

The kidnapper had

setup his stall fifteen days ago.

As soon as we know the

tragedy we will find him.

It is just a matter of time.

I will be here for two more days.

Someone else might

replace me after that.

He is not the only one beaten

down by this system, Nachiket.

Where are you headed?

We are waiting for the train.

It will arrive in five minutes.

Be sure to board it.

A unit of RTF is arriving

here in 1O minutes.

Why are you telling me all this?

You know very well why.

He is my son.

Good.

You still have your son.

Many don't have their son with them.

Sir..

You scared me.

Nashik or lvlumbaL.

The tragedies that occurred

in Nashik and lvlumbaL.

Everyone is finding the

kidnappefis demand genuine.

Why don't you fulfill it?

I cannot setup a Kangaroo

court to give him instant justice.
