Can I ask you something?

- Of course.

When I came over...

the day Kali disappeared...

...how did you know

she was in the car?

Are you also suspecting me?

So how did you know?

Didn't you say it at the police station that we had

talked on the f***ing phone...?

That was to protect you.

But I remember damn well that

I never told you she was in the car!

Then you remember swearing at Shalini

when you picked up Kali?

And that you wanted to

show Kali a film?

So won't any moron deduce that

Kali's with you, motherf***er?

Maybe! But why did you think

she's in the car and not upstairs?

But if she's not upstairs with you,

she has to be downstairs, right...?

Could've been in the toilet...!

Logically, you should've asked where she is!

But you didn't. You said the car door

was open and Kali wasn't there.

That's 'cos I know you for 15 years, a**hole.

And you've been a reckless f*** before too.

I know you leave her in the car

'cos she hates being around your work.

And what the f*** can I get from

you by kidnapping Kali, motherf***er?

I pay for your rent... gas... phone...

even your booze, you bastard!

Did I ever asked you to pay me back?

And you're suspecting me...?

Call yourself a friend...?

Why don't you just torture a

confession out of me like these cops...!

Why was there a ransom call made from

a tower in your area?

What...?

- A cell phone tower...

I know what a tower is, dick head!

One calls from a phone, not a tower!

And a tower covers several phones in

an area. I did not make that call...!

How do I make you believe me,

f***er...!

So if it's not Chaitanya...!

Take your call...!

Chaitanya...!?

'Hello, papa?

You're coming to get me, right?'

Kali, dear...!

Hello...?

Kali...?

Kali, hello...?

'Keep the money ready by tomorrow.

I'll call at noon...!'

Who's speaking?

We go covert!

You motherf***er...!

What were you doing, pumpkin?

Talking to someone...?

I can see how... big your

love is for me!

Tea.

It's your favourite gangster, Pujari!

Do you know of the magical world of

online calling services?

There are several such online services.

Indians usually prefer ones from the UK.

It's difficult to trace which online

service the kidnapper may have used

Even if we do, we can't predict a

7 digit random number that he picked

And if we don't know the number,

we can't track his IP address, sir.

Check all cyber cafes.

Chaitanya, Rahul... others in our radar...

even their friends are our suspects now!

Seize their computers, laptops, smart phones...

find out who used an online calling service!

All cyber cafes, sir?

Yes.

Does one pay for this service with a...

- Credit card, sir.

Seize their credit cards too

and find out who made the ransom call.

Missing your kid?

Who's speaking?

Quiet...! First make sure

you're alone!

Hello?

You alone?

- Yes... where's Kali?

Kali...

is asleep.

Sir, at least you're married,

think of me!

God bless... Stay happy!

What do you want?

5 million...!!

Where will I get so much money...?

- Ask your dad!

...I'll call back at 5!

What happened...?

Who was that?

He said... 'don't call Shoumik!'

What happened?

Nothing.

Just make us some tea please.

What does he want?

Money.

How will I arrange so much money...?

I don't even have money

to go to the salon.

How much?

6.5 million...!

6.5 million?

- He warned not to tell Shoumik!

Where are you?

- Just reaching, sir...!

Run or I'll break your legs...!

I'm here!

Took so long!

- Traffic, sir.

Made me wait...!

Switch on the light.

- Yes, sir.

'When daddy eyed my lovely bride'...

your film, huh?

You're quite a stud!

Is that the CPU?

- Yes, sir.

What are you doing?

- Turn around.

No, sir... I'm not into that...!

Shut up and give me your wallet...!

It's in the front pocket.

- Slippery f***er!

Is it a debit or credit card?

- Debit.

Here...

- Why, sir?

Just wanna check your account.

You don't need the CPU for that?

- You'll get your card back soon!

But, sir...

how will I work?

- What work do you do anyway?

I can't audition without my

scripts, sir!

Manage without it for 48 hours.

If this box is clean, it's yours...

or your ass is mine.

But sir...?

You'd mentioned a cyber cafe...

where is it?

Hello...!

- Rakhi, where are you?

I'm out, why?

I need to keep some money with you...

I can't keep it here!

What money?

When can you meet me?

Now...?

I'll be at your place

around five, okay?

You got the money?

I hear your door bell.

Maybe it's the money!

Is it here?

- Yes.

Thank you...!

Don't I get hard for you.

- But for how long?

A few more years and then

you'll be like my old man...!

'Not tonight, darling, I'm tired!'

Was that Rakhi?

So you're squeezing/pleasing her

these days?! Where's your computer?

Where do you keep it?

Where is it?

I don't have one.

laptop---?

Nope.

Sure?

Ok, show me your wallet.

- Why?

I just want to see your credit card!

I only have a debit card.

- Just show me your wallet, man.

Boss' orders!

I'll scan it and return it.

Will Bose swipe it in his ass

and make a withdrawal?

Don't slow down..

keep going!

I'm doing that...!

Don't lie...

my men are watching you!

I'm on my way...!

Hello?

Something's not right!

Madam is talking to some man...

and is driving somewhere!

Let me hear the call!

Papa...?

What are you doing at home?

I read the papers today.

Everything ok?

Yes. Where's Shalini?

She's out somewhere!

Where? She just spoke to a man who

told her where to bring the money...!

You listen to her calls...?

Where is she, papa?

- I don't know!

Don't lie to me! You have always

trusted me more than your kids!

Now where is she...?

Honestly, son...

I don't know.

Yeah?

Sir, the car's going towards the

Western Express Highway.

Okay-

This Subscriber is currently busy.

This caller is busy.

To send a voice

I'll be back in a week

to take this money.

Sure!

Don't stress yourself out!

Go home.

Kali will come back, right?

Paid him off?

Yeah?

You got your daughter back?

Happy, now?!

Shoumik...!

Couldn't you bloody fools call me?

Now drink champagne with your dad...

Celebrate... b*tch!

Bloody fools!

How much did you pay, papa?

How much?

'I'm leaving you, my darling, for a

man who doesn't need pills to love me!'

Come, lets bury the hatchet...

hurry, before I rip your racquet!

I'm burning under my skirt...

bite me, man, before I rip your shirt!

What's her name?

- Rakhi Malhotra!

Is this Rakhi Malhotra's house?

Call her...

we need to talk!

He's asleep.

You sleep for a couple of hours,

I"ll keep guard.

Why did you ask for 6.5

when the ransom was 5?

Where did you hide

the other 1.5 million?

What were you going to do with

that money? Answer me, Shalini...?

Shalini...?

I asked you something!

What do you want to know?

Have you ever asked me how I am?

If I need anything?

I was going to use this money to

buy things that you never gave me...!

Why'd you marry me?

To get back what happened in college?
