Stay away from Shashi's rackets

if you want to stay alive...

Mom, can we go for a walk?

Okay.

Karan...

wait... don't go...

Dada...

Let's play checkers instead.

Alright!

Who wants red?

- l...

- l!

- Mom, can we go for a walk?

- Okay.

Karan...

wait...

l'll come with you.

- Mom, can we go for a walk?

l'm Karan Shekhawat...

l need your help.

Can you call my mom and dad?

l want to talk to them...

their names are Roshni and Surjan.

Please tell them,

l want to talk to them.

l'm Karan Shekhawat...

l want to talk to my mom and dad...

Concentrate, my dear.

l am here to speak to Karan...

Can the spirits help me reach Karan?

l am here to speak to Karan...

Can the spirits help me reach Karan?

l am here to speak to Karan...

Can the spirits help me reach Karan?

Hello mom...

l'm right here with you...

l'm happy that

l'm speaking with you.

Thank you, mom.

Please tell dad that...

l really want to talk to him...

l know you and dad are sad

because of me.

l am always with you...

Please don't cry, mom.

l want to see you smiling

like this always.

l can sense you are lonely...

no fun with the wife

anymore.

Am l right?

l knew you would be back...

everyone gives in to my charm...

how would you escape?

l am not here to play

games.

Then, why are you here?

Do you know Shashi?

l suggest you keep

your beautiful eyes open...

l don't know where Shashi is...

he's probably in a drunken haze

drowned in somebody's arms...

- What is it?

Some creep tied stones to a girl's body

and threw it in the sea.

But how long can he stay submerged...

- The body did not

surface for four days.

Sooner or later

he'll have to surface.

Have you sent it for post-mortem?

No, sir, we're trying to

get identification.

- What did you just say?

- Sir!

A girl's body has

surfaced in Mahim Creek...

the killer tied stones to her body

before drowning her.

She was killed four days ago.

Devrath!

Send Shashi's photo and description

to all morgues and hospitals...

immediately!

- Last evening at approximately 8:30...

- a clean shot through the head...

- the killer was at a distance

of almost 300 metres.

- The shell casing and gunshot wound

prove that a .315 calibre rifle was used.

- Definitely a professional hit.

- We got these keys from his pocket,

of a room at the Golden Eyes hotel.

We recovered these things

from his room...

he had checked in as Krishna Nair.

He didn't have anything

apart from his clothes...

nothing to identify him.

Why is this so heavy?

When your time comes...

there's nothing you can do about it.

What's with the long faces, guys?

Shashi bhai is dead.

What?!

What rubbish?

lt's true, he is dead.

Someone shot him

last evening at the Mahim carnival.

But what was Shashi

doing at the carnival anyway?

Shashi, you better listen to me...

stop calling me over and over again.

l told you that

you'll get the money tomorrow.

Come to the Mahim carnival

at 8 pm tomorrow.

You ask too many questions...

are you a lawyer?!

So, you really met him last night?

l thought you were bluffing.

Shashi is into something big...

he took 2 million

from Armaan Kapoor.

Did Shashi have a green bag?

Did he?

l don't want to go back to that life...

Sorry, Mallika.

Madam is calling you.

Shashi paid her for me...

Move it.

- Shashi paid her for my freedom...

- tell them Shashi paid her

for my freedom...

- Tehmur!

Armaan Kapoor?

Shashi bhai...

Come in, doctor...

the bleeding hasn't stopped.

- Shashi, she needs

to be taken to a hospital...

- No, no hospital...

fix her up here...

lf you ever say a word about this...

l will break your face.

Get it?

Shashi bhai, thanks for the payback.

We had to report to the income-tax department

because the 2 million was in cash.

You'll have to apply for a refund.

How did Armaan know...

that guy Shashi?

l'm afraid l still don't know.

Why was he blackmailing Armaan?

Sonya, he said he doesn't know.

You think it's possible that...

Armaan was using prostitutes?

Sonya, please...

l want to know the truth.

l'm not really sure...

but, yes it's possible.

Hello?

l'm Shashi's friend.

Excuse me.

Who is this?

- l just told you!

Remember Shashi?

You called him to the carnival...

and you killed him.

l'm in a meeting right now...

let me call you back

in some time.

Please, don't bother...

l'll call you back in an hour...

you better answer

or you will regret it.

Okay.

He's taken the bait!

Jackpot!

Who would have thought

you were so smart, Tehmur?

Tell me...

l want five million.

What?

What for?

To keep your secret safe.

What are you talking about?

Listen to me,

don't waste my time.

Okay then,

you'll hear from the cops...

once they get Shashi's phone SlM

and the DVD.

- lf that's not good enough...

l know about the girl too.

l'm in trouble, dad.

lt's a real mess.

What is it?

Armaan and l...

some people have been

blackmailing us.

What?

Who are these people?

Do you remember Nikhil's accident?

Of course.

He didn't fall from the balcony

of our Juhu bungalow...

l lied to you.

Actually, he fell off a moving car...

it was an accident, dad.

How come you're home so early!

Are you complaining?

Suri!

Do you have to go back?

No.

Then let's go out.

Where?

Let's go for a movie...

and then we'll eat out...

Please, Suri... come on...

Please!

l couldn't stop laughing!

How did you like the film?

l was watching you, actually...

it's good to see you happy.

Thank you, Roshni...

For seeing the therapist...

l know it can't be easy for you...

but l think it's really helping you.

- Hi Roshni aunty...

- Samar!

What brings you to Mumbai?

My cousin is getting married

next week...

l was going to call you...

Samar's been looking forward

to seeing you.

lf you're free one evening,

come over...

have dinner with us.

Sure, why not!

How about Friday?

l'm working late on Friday.

What about Saturday?

Actually, l'm busy all week...

l'm working on a new case,

sorry, l'm really pressed for time.

No problem...

you cops do work long hours.

l can't believe you did that!

They must have felt so bad...

they are our friends, Suri.

That doesn't mean

l have to meet them...

l'm not stopping you

from meeting them.

Every time l look at Samar...

He is only a child, Suri...

what happened wasn't his fault.

l know...

the fault was mine.

lt was an accident, Suri.

No, it was negligence...

on my part.

lnstead of keeping an eye on them,

l fell asleep.

So did l...

we didn't know the kids would do

something like that.

Please, Suri.

Don't blame yourself.

You can say

what you want now, Roshni...

but l know how you look

at me sometimes...

But...

l've never blamed you...

l've never thought like this...

But l do... every single day.

Don't...

you mustn't blame yourself...

come on...

let's go in and talk.

No, l've got some work.

Please, Suri.

Suri...

This illness you have of the heart

l don't seem to understand at all

You abandon everything
