Bhaiya?!

Guard Bhaiya?!

What are you looking at? Open the gate!

I am! Why are you yelling?

You girls come and go as you please.

Who knows where you loiter late at night, even in winter…

It does get late sometimes!

Get lost! Don't you try it with me!

Happy Birthday!

Little louder, you guys?

You just scared my baby!

Sorry, baby, sorry!

-Happy birthday! -Thank you. Thank you.

Anu di, happy birthday!

Thank you, thank you!

-Komal, where's the cake? -Yeah, I'm on it.

Hold on for a bit.

I'm in a lousy mood.

There was someone back there hitting me with the laser again.

And then I got into a fight with the guard.

He wouldn't open the gate!

-Freaky place, that's what. -Thank you.

That's why I tell you to come back on time.

You didn't come straight home from office, did you?

That's not the point, Rima.

Did you complain to the warden about the guard?

At this hour?

She'll be busy downing drinks with her BFF.

She won't give a shit!

But still, you were late Anu.

I had to collect the keys from the landlord, remember?

In one week… We can move in!

Wow, you got the key!

Guys, New Year's party at the new house!

You guys haven't seen the place yet, right?

It's… it's cute!

Rima di, you said they'd only find a dump, right?

It's not bad at all!

Really, Rima?

Well, it's not a palace either.

Better than this hole!

Really?

Is this place so bad?

Then why is she staying here?

She's got rich folks.

-Right, Nikki? -Hey!

That's not fair, Rima.

It's… it's lon--

Lonely, right?

In a hostel, you're never alone or unsafe.

And the restrictions are for our own good.

Oh, please. What nonsense, Rima!

Why do you have a problem if we get some freedom?

I know exactly why you want "freedom."

It's about sex with you all the time.

That's why girls live alone, right?

-You're talking nonsense! -To have…

-sex with different guys every day! -When you don't have a good point?!

You're drunk, Lana.

You always talk about sex whenever you don't have

anything meaningful to say.

We'll be naked, we'll dance naked, we'll do everything naked.

Rima is… is right, Anu. I…

This place… has become my comfort zone.

I know what you mean, Nikki.

But I didn't come all the way from Balia

to live in this hostel.

Every day when I return to the hostel,

I feel I won't even make it to the gate.

That's fucked.

There's someone out there…

lurking in wait for me.

I just want to get out of this hostel.

Madhu!

All good? Was the journey alright?

So, how does Delhi feel?

It feels like a ghost town.

Why is it like that?

Because it's Sunday.

By evening, this place will be packed.

Slow down. Drop us here.

Fare? Here you go.

Here you go.

Alright.

Thank you.

This way, it's right up those stairs.

Careful, watch your step there.

Hey, come on in, tea is just about ready.

Hi, I'm Rajeev.

Hi. Madhu.

-Yo, wake up, dude! -Madhu.

Why don't you sit here, I'll handle your bags.

Guys…

You drink tea, right?

Be careful, the cup's cracked.

It might spill.

No worries.

What the…

I'm sorry I've taken your room.

No, it's all good.

But if the landlord finds out, we'll all be thrown out.

The guys have stepped out for a bit.

We don't have to rush into this.

What's wrong?

Someone's…

Is someone at the door?

What are you thinking?

It'll take time…

for everything to be fine.

Well, I'll be damned.

Is the traffic like this every day?

Yes, every day.

But today, I'm loving the traffic.

So, Madhuri, what brings you to Delhi?

Sir, I have come to Delhi

because of the opportunities it offers.

I want to learn.

I want to… get experience.

I want to be free.

Free?

Yes, sir.

Just… I mean free to be myself.

Okay.

Madhuri, as I can see, you are a graduate, correct?

Yes, sir. Arts, SSC College, Gwalior.

But I can't see it here.

Do you have the certificate with you?

Sorry, sir, I left it at home.

-Yeah, seriously! -Hey, Bela di!

Oh, hi!

Hey!

-How are you? -Good.

Good.

So, how'd the interview go?

Not that good.

Oh, why not?

Pradeep interviewed you, right?

Don't worry, you'll get the job.

Listen, are you still living with Arun and all those boys?

Yeah, until I can find a room.

Okay, listen, I couldn't find anything within your budget,

but Nakul found a place.

Nakul?

My fiancé!

I told you about him!

He found out about this place. He said it's a little…

out of the way?

But I'm sure it's gonna be fine. Okay?

But I wanted him to come and tell you this personally.

-I wonder what's taking him so long! -It's okay.

Can you thank him for me, please?

Don't worry.

-Hey, Bela di? -Yeah?

They asked for my graduation certificate.

You don't need any qualifications for this job.

Don't worry, it'll all be fine, okay?

Oh, check your phone.

I sent you the location of the hostel.

Okay.

Shall we go?

Arun?

Bela di mentioned a hostel.

-Let's go check it out. -Sure, let's go.

-Nakul! -Hi.

Hi!

-Are we ready to go? -Yeah.

What should we eat?

Madhu?

Madhu!

Let's go, we're gonna be late.

It isn't too far from here, is it?

According to the map, it's just a ten-minute drive.

No, I think we're pretty close.

Really?

Oh, I can see it.

Have you eloped?

Excuse me?

My friend told me about this hostel.

Do you have any rooms available?

This is a government facility.

You'll need to show a job, a local guardian, the works…

Can you just tell us if you have a room or not?

Ma'am, can I see the room?

This is our mess here.

Right now most girls are at work.

It gets crowded at night.

Up here, we don't have too many girls.

The construction was abandoned on this floor.

That's just the storage room.

Age-old junk in there.

We have three rooms here,

and two on this side.

This is the only room that's empty.

The washroom's down the hall.

There's a common toilet, okay?

This trunk belonged to the girl before you.

Let me know if you don't need it. I can get it moved.

She's the one who covered the mirror with paper,

It's broken, I guess.

It's nice.

-Hey, Bhaiya! -Yeah?

This place is like in the middle of nowhere, man.

There is no bus stop or rickshaw stand nearby.

So, how do these girls get around?

Well, there's a little lane from

the back gate to the main road.

They use that.

None of the doctors are prescribing the medicine my company is pushing.

The patients look up the "side-effects" on Google these days.

Yeah, so what?

Self-medication isn't right, is it?

You aren't taking anything without a prescription, are you?

Ma'am.

Thank you.

You went through my bag?

It's a psychotropic drug.

It knocks you out completely.

You can't wake up in the morning.

I can't help it, I can't sleep without it!

I really liked that room.

What did you like about it?

Besides, that warden is damn shady.

Who asks for six months' rent in advance?

If you calculate the monthly rent, it's actually pretty cheap.

So you'll stay anywhere that's cheap?

That area isn't safe, Madhu.

Is any part of Delhi safe?

Still…

How will we get all those documents the warden asked for?

Listen…

You know so many doctors.

There must be someone who can help, right?

Please.

Ma'am, you moved the clinic to your house?

Just for a few days.

What's her name, again?

Madhuri Kiran.

He's a beast.

He won't go to anyone except me.

He hates humans.

Smart cat.

What's its name?

Raakshas.

And what's yours?

Kiara.

Okay, I've written it for you.

But do you have a job?

Ma'am, I have cleared the interview.

They've called me back tomorrow.

Well, since I've set up my clinic here,

I'll have patients coming in and

I'll definitely need some assistance.

If you have the time, let me know.

Yes, ma'am.

Best of luck with that hostel room.

Come on.

Quietly!

-Hurry up, please! -Shut up, ya!

Come, come, come.

Anu?

Anu, are you there?

Let it go.

Nothing happened last time either.

It's a waste of time!

This time it will happen.

Just wait.

Shit, shit!

Okay.

-You'll go. -You go, check.

-No. -Go already!

Come on, go!

It's okay.

Get out.

Svetlana, this is not your room.

Get out!

-Shit, let's go, let's go. -Wait.

What's wrong with you?

You cannot open this room, alright?

Listen, Svetlana…

Fuck off!

Mad bitch!

Let's get started?

Hey, hey, did you see that?

-What? -Nothing.

Mummy!

We are locked! Open the door! Please!

-Open the door! -Please open the door!

Svetlana!

Come on, open the door!

Just open the door! Open the door!

-I'm sorry. I'm sorry. -Open up! Please.

-Svetlana, please! -Please open the door!

Svetlana!

Oh God! Someone help!

-Help! -Girls! Quiet!

The same nonsense every day.

They can go to hell. Crazy shit.

Going to the dead girl's room to fool around…

Insensitive creatures!

That room's still vacant?

Those girls won't let anyone stay there.

There's someone coming tomorrow, though.

Did you do a background check?

You better be careful,

or I'll shut this hostel down.

Now don't start again!

Any update on Jeeva?

I managed to get him out on parole with such difficulty…

and he ran off.

What about his buddy from prison?

What was his name again?

Babban.

They just took him into custody in Rajasthan for a smuggling case.

I'll ask him what new mess this boy's landed himself in!

I'm exhausted, Gracie…

I don't know what to do with this boy!

He's probably just hiding somewhere.

Don't stress.

He'll come back, he always does.

Rima?

I spoke to your husband.

Your time here is up.

I'm not going anywhere.

How can you kick me out… and in this condition?

That's why I've called him.

You're eight months pregnant, right?

I cannot allow this.

Svetlana!

Ma'am…

Ma'am, I said… I will… will pay.

Nikki, is this room your personal property?

No, ma'am, but when… when I am paying…

I just confirmed.

A new girl's moving into that room.

I don't want any nonsense, okay?

But we didn't do anything!

Please don't open the room.

I've heard enough of this rubbish.

You understand?

Or you'll face the consequences.

But seriously, what have we even done?

Will you say something?

Fine, don't say anything.

Let's see how long you'll keep quiet.

There's nothing to tell.

It's that room.

There's something in there.

What did you just say?

Come again?

Good.

Behave yourself.

I'm giving y'all a warning,

I'll kick every single one of you out.

It's about to start again.

Where are you headed, dude?

To meet the warden?

No, she's moving in. I'm helping her move her stuff.

You can't help, man. She has to do it herself.

-But she's got a ton of stuff. -She'll manage!

Listen, I will take it.

-You sure? -I'm sure.

You take care, okay?

Hey, bro!

This shit ain't allowed here.

-Grab your stuff and get moving. -Yeah, whatever!

-What a loser… -Just go.

Catch you later.

Take care, okay?

Call me if you need anything.

See you.

-Hey. -How are you, Mishra ji?

-Your guest is in there. -Okay. Thank you.

Make it quick.

-Yeah, okay. -We got you special permission!

Where's Jeeva?

Where is he?

Spit it out!

I don't know!

Haven't seen him in months.

You're never gonna change, are you, asshole?

I told you to stay away from my son…

I warned you, didn't I?!

He's the one who came to me after getting out of prison.

Said we'd work together.

Then he disappeared.

-Nonsense! -Didn't he tell you anything?

Why the fuck would he tell shit to his mother

when you got him wrapped around your finger!

There's this guy… a hakim.

He's got a clinic in Old Delhi.

Jeeva used to work for him.

It lasts just two minutes…

and that's after busting my ass for an hour.

My heart is so weak I can't even take medicine.

My wife has no faith left in me.

She's lost interest.

She straight up refuses.

Looks like an evil eye is upon you.

You know, a woman's evil eye

can devour you.

Your health,

your sanity…

Excuse me?

Your first wife.

She's dead.

That's why I got another one.

No.

She's still around.

Her anger and bitterness flow in your veins.

She's been poisoning you from the inside.

Well, that explains a lot.

She tortured me when she was alive.

Why would she stop now?

Evil eye or whatever it is…

I need you to fix it.

Anyhow.

Stop seeking validation and respect from the world.

That's your biggest weakness.

Seek out what you really crave, Mr. Bhalla.

It's my wife who's been craving… for a child!

What am I supposed to do?

At their core,

women are weak emotional creatures.

Till you crave for them, physical strength is meaningless.

When your mind is enfeebled,

your body is bound to fail you.

Can you master your desire?

Is there any weird stuff in this?

I haven't even touched an egg in two years.

I'm a pure vegetarian.

I already feel…

Powerful!

What was the name of that kid, again?

Babban.

He'll be released tomorrow.

Thank you.

How can I help you?

I'm Constable Ilu Mishra.

I've been hearing a lot about you.

Figured I should come and meet you.

I just bumped into Babban.

He used to work for you?

And this boy, Jeevan Mishra?

Yeah, he used to work for me too,

but it's been ages.

What did he do for you, exactly?

Well, my medicines need some special ingredients.

He sourced stuff for me.

Stuff like?

Rare stuff, like herbs,

plants, special oils.

But I haven't seen him in months.

Honestly, my work has suffered a lot since he left.

Now I have to procure my ingredients all by myself.

Why are you looking for him, anyway?

He's my son.

By the way, what kind of treatment do you do?

Physical ailments are often rooted in the…

soul.

I treat the root cause.

Try it sometime.

Hi, I'm Madhu.

And you are?

You just moved in next door?

Yes, just today.

I looked around earlier but didn't see anyone here.

Where are you from?

Gwalior.

What about you?

Oh, Gwalior, that's nearby.

Yes.

You should leave while you can.

Sorry?

The girl who stayed in that room before,

she couldn't get out.

Didn't the warden tell you what happened to her?

Got it?

What Rima said?

Are you stupid?

Leave, bitch!

All the best.

Okay, guys, listen to me very carefully.

All our clients should know our best offers.

It's very simple.

You have to call on these numbers.

Okay.

Any other information you need

-is there in this brochure. -Okay.

Thank you!

Of course, we'll meet, sir!

Yeah, Poolside Cafe.

Sunday?

Yes, sir.

Man, this city is crawling with dirty old men!

Yes, sir.

Yeah, I'm just gonna grab some lunch real quick.

Alright, whatever.

No, you can come pick me up.

Oh, shit! Move.

Madhu!

Wait!

Let's go for lunch.

What's the matter?

Are you alright? Come, come, come.

-I love prawn sushi. -Ma'am, your order.

They have the best in town. Thank you.

Thank you, ma'am.

I should be treating you.

You got me this job.

Nonsense! This was nothing.

Relax.

No, it was everything to me.

You have no idea how desperate I was to get out of that place.

I know.

I understand.

That guy with you…

Was that Nakul?

Yeah…

I'm so sorry!

He was so embarrassed.

What just happened…

He was so awkward.

I told him to scram.

Does he work here with you?

No, his office is nearby… it's right here.

That's why we meet for lunch.

And at weekends we stay at his place.

Because that's the only time we get together.

I see.

You two met back in Gwalior?

No!

His cousin was in our college group.

My Nakul is not from Gwalior.

He's a typical Delhi guy.

I love it.

Who's there?

Who is it?

You got someone with you in the room?

I won't be spooked so easily.

Really?

-Yeah, really. -It hasn't even started yet.

Once it does, you won't even be able to run.

Who's gonna scare me off from here?

You guys?

Bring it on!

I'm not going anywhere!

Nakul, the lab…

Nakul, bro…

Nakul, bro…

Nakul, bro, the lab…

Nakul…

Nakul Bhaiya.

Look at her again and again

A thousand times again

For my beloved is quite a thing To be looked at

Tally O

Tally O

Tally O

Look at her again and again

A thousand times again

For my beloved is quite a thing

-To be looked at -How do I look?

-You look exactly like Deepika! -Tally O

Give it to me.

-Tally O -Awesome pic, right?

Tally O

-Madhu, ready? -Yeah. Ready, ready.

Come, come!

Our homes, our people, our friends, and our towns.

We leave an era behind us.

Like every year, our graduating seniors are about to step out of college

and enter a whole new world.

So, we dedicate this evening to them.

"We'll wander a bit till we find our destination.

The truly lost are those who never really stepped out."

So, I see your longing to leave Gwalior has turned into poetry, huh?

Why did you decide to leave?

What's so great about Delhi?

Nothing really.

Trust me.

I don't enjoy it over there.

But every time I come here…

and see you,

I feel like I've returned home.

But I've decided to move to Delhi after I graduate.

Why wait till graduation? Come with me right now.

I can't wait another year.

Take me home. I'm running late.

Sure, I'll drop you home.

Listen come here, please.

Arun!

Hi! May I help you?

Hello.

Does Nakul Khanna work here?

Nakul? Yeah.

But I don't think he's in yet.

He will be in post-lunch.

Yes, I know.

Actually, I work right here, at XTN Insurance.

I needed some of his details.

Like his permanent address and phone number.

Sorry, can't give you that.

Or if you want I can just call him right now.

No, no, no…

The thing is, I already messed up his form once.

Can't keep bothering my clients, you know.

Very sorry, can't do that.

Please, ma'am.

Why don't you take my number then?

If I could just get his Gwalior address…

Gwalior?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he had an address there too.

I just need to confirm it, I'll rectify it myself.

Wait, I'll just check.

Hey, is Nakul in yet?

He's in already.

Nakul!

Yeah?

Visitor.

Excuse me!

Excuse--

Hey!

Oh God!

This car has been gathering rust here for ages.

Doubt it'll even work.

No harm in trying.

If it works, it works.

Or we could sell it as scrap--

Don't be over-smart, hold it.

What was that?

-I don't know… -Madam, are you okay?

Left, left, left.

Straighten the wheels.

Stop annoying me and look ahead.

Don't hit the accelerator instead of the brake again.

Your footwork has always been off.

You lost.

You committed a foul.

You hit my leg.

-Way to play hockey! -Come on, Gracie, you get mad so easily!

You're shameless.

Whatever. Just park this crappy thing.

Why'd you even take it out in the first place?

You never know when one of the girls might need it.

Rima's pregnancy has reached such an advanced stage,

and she still refuses to leave this place.

The car stinks so bad!

Maybe a squirrel died inside.

Tell that lazy bum to clean it up.

If you had let me grill those girls that day,

I could've made them spill everything.

I still remember that night.

Wasn't some girl planning to move out?

You remember that?

Yeah!

Three drinks down, and you barely remember your way home.

Remember, my foot!

Something happened in that room.

Rubbish!

It's all in those girls' heads.

They started making up silly stories once their friend died.

You know, since I was a kid,

I've seen it in my village.

Every year, they'd brand women as witches and hang them from a tree.

What's the difference between those brute bumpkins

and these city girls?

Faced with fear, they all turn superstitious.

We have to do something.

You should call him Gracie.

Call who?

That healer?

They call him Doctor.

I just want to see what he'll do.

He runs a clinic called Roohani Dawakhana

in Old Delhi.

-What the hell? -It's all I can afford.

Come on, dude.

Maybe next time, yeah?

Who is it?

I am a warden at a ladies' hostel.

Yes.

Yes, sir.

Sir, please give us the opportunity to serve you again, sir.

Thank you so much.

Thank you, sir.

Put this poster up on the notice board.

Yes, ma'am.

And listen, did you shift my appointment?

The ones on Thursday?

No, no. Just tell them Tuesday, okay?

Only Tuesday.

Madhu?

Madhu?

Yes, ma'am. Tuesday.

Tuesday. Right.

And please, call this AC repair guy.

He needs to fix this goddamn thing.

Okay, ma'am.

Sir, can we move your appointment to Tuesday?

I can squeeze you in at 4:00 p.m.

Or whenever works best for you.

Actually, some urgent work has come up for ma'am on Thursday.

If we can reschedule for Tuesday, it would be very helpful.

Thank you so much, sir.

Zero…

Madhu!

Yes, ma'am?

Actually, make it for Wednesday, yeah?

Ma!

What?

Can Madhu stay here with me for some time?

Yeah, sure.

When did you stop going to school?

Ever since Dad passed away.

There was a time when I just couldn't watch horror movies.

Even if everyone was home,

if someone told me a scary story,

I wouldn't be able to sleep the whole night.

Now, I even get scared in crowded places outside.

Mama says…

fear makes us careful.

It keeps us alert.

Makes sense.

I'll keep that in mind.

Come in.

Ma'am.

Thank you.

Madhu, please file these notes for me.

Ma'am, can I ask you something?

Sure.

So, the room I got at the hostel…

the girl who stayed there before me passed away some time ago. And--

Her ghost is haunting your room?

No. No, ma'am.

But her friends don't want anyone using that room.

They're really weird.

They never leave the hostel, not even for work.

They stay inside all the time.

All day, every day?

Yes, ma'am. They never even step outside the gate.

And one of them is pregnant.

Wow!

People have their own ways of coping with this deep trauma.

It may not make sense to us

but to them, it makes perfect sense.

Actually, what happens is that the line between the rational

and the irrational that kind of disappears.

But, ma'am, they all keep saying the same thing.

That there is something in my room.

Good coffee.

-No. That's, that's not… -Okay.

-That's not okay. -Why not?

You've called psychics, priests, and God knows who else.

So why can't I call him?

That's not the point.

We don't know this guy.

Who knows, he might actually be able to help you.

You guys keep complaining.

He's on his way. Meet him once?

But according to you, we don't need any help, right?

You even let someone move into that room.

I can't keep it shut forever because of you guys.

Don't you want to get out of this place?

You think we want to live here?

Why?

All the happy memories?

Mishra, that guy still hasn't arrived.

I clearly told him how to find this place.

How can he get lost?

What kind of idiot have you sent here?

Even the guy from the electricity department found his way here,

but not your phony doctor.

Well, I'm here now.

I keep getting complaints about this room.

Noise, weird shadows…

-Hello, ma'am. -But nothing too major.

The girl staying there right now hasn't had any issues.

It's just a couple of girls…

who keep making a fuss.

Is this the room?

She left the window wide open.

It's really windy today.

So, she's the one staying in this room?

Yeah.

She can't stay here.

This room must be vacated.

The unease I feel here

is because of a restless spirit.

Her spirit lingers here,

and she is out to cause havoc.

She won't leave…

Seal off this room.

So you're saying that the girl who died here…

it's her spirit troubling them?

She died right here.

And her spirit hasn't left.

For your information,

Anu, the girl who lived here, died in a road accident,

not in this room.

So, thank you very much.

Please leave now!

Come on.

You're unable to go out.

Something holds you here.

It's hurting you.

Please leave!

Yell at me if you want,

but what you're hiding…

will cost them heavily.

There's a world you see…

and a world I can sense.

Something horrific happened here.

And far more brutal…

than that death…

is the fate that awaits them.

Especially the poor girl…

who stays in that room.

Oh, hello! Madam!

Excuse me!

Are you blind or what?

Watch where you are going!

Crazy girl!

Yeah, Arun.

Okay.

Yeah, I'll be there in ten minutes.

Should I call the warden?

It's up to you.

It'll be your loss.

You think I need help?

Someone's anger and hatred…

is poisoning you from within.

It's what's keeping you trapped here.

Come on.

Look here.

Have faith. Come here.

You've got this.

No!

You can't help!

I'm not one to give up easily.

Take this.

What is this?

A poison as well as a cure.

Come on, take it.

I'll wait for your call.

You can trust me.

It's a bit bright.

I like it.

I'll take it.

What do you think?

Yeah, they're nice.

Man, my office folks are so annoying.

They keep setting up these impossible targets for us.

Who?

Your manager, Geetika?

Yeah.

Here, eat it before it gets cold.

In Gwalior and here too…

Doesn't she call you way too often?

Don't laugh!

You've been hitting the gym, getting all buff.

Who is it for?

Oh, I see

This is great.

I used to rush to Gwalior every month to see you,

but apparently, I am getting fit for her.

Okay then!

You used to come there half-heartedly anyway.

So you can read my mind,

is that why you left for the hostel overnight?

My room feels so lonely now.

You're crazy!

What? I'm serious.

Why did you go off to live in that jungle?

The commute is a pain too.

Delhi isn't safe anyway.

All kinds of weirdos live here.

Done ranting?

Other girls live here too, you know!

There's a difference between them and you!

Madhu, I…

I just meant to say you're new to the city…

Don't try to cover up!

I know exactly how I am different!

Don't go there, I am warning you.

Come on now.

I don't want to go with you.

Don't make a scene, Madhu. Let's go home and talk.

You always run away from me…

like I'm a burden.

You're with me out of guilt!

Right?

I know it.

I know everything.

The sight of them dragging you away…

It haunts me every day.

It eats me up from the inside…

I think I am going crazy.

Or maybe I already am.

Arun, I don't see a future for us.

Please don't say that.

If you don't want to be with me, please leave.

Let me go.

No, I won't…

I'll always be with you, I promise, till the very end.

I've told you before…

my feelings for you haven't changed and never will.

My son knew that if he was doing good work,

I'd be happy for him.

He never mentioned his job,

so I'm pretty sure he was doing something shady at that clinic.

His buddy Babban got caught for smuggling, right?

Ask around, Jeeva must be locked up in some jail too.

Ask around?

You want me to tell everyone that my son's in prison?

Shall I issue a red alert on him too?

Why do you always lose your shit when it comes to Jeeva?

He's never given a damn about his mother.

That's why I always told you not to spoil him so much.

You've said it enough times, Gracie!

He's been missing for six months.

Don't worry, Mishra, you'll find him.

And before you know it, you'll be back at each other's throats.

Damn it!

Wait, stop…

Hold on, will you?

It took me three years to teach Rajesh some basic cleanliness,

and now there's you…

Your kitchen is a mess!

What is this ant army up to?

There's a loose tile here,

that's where all the ants are going.

Mishra!

Show me. What is it?

That is what the ants were after, Mishra.

Sweetie.

You have no one to play with?

Me neither.

I am all alone in this big house.

Where the hell is this girl?

Guddi!

I'm very sick.

I've been cursed by someone.

By a witch.

A witch?

Yes.

-A witch? -Guddi!

Only a brave angel can save me now.

You…

Are you brave?

Guddi?

Guddi, where are you?

Guddi!

Guddi!

Guddi!

Guddi!

Hi.

It happened a year ago, ma'am.

Our college function was in full swing,

and Arun and I…

we slipped away for a bit.

Initially, we were alone.

I noticed when some guys came after us.

They appeared out of nowhere.

They wore masks, bike masks.

Three boys.

They dragged Arun away.

One of them covered my mouth.

Everything happened so quickly, I couldn't even scream.

The festival venue was noisy.

I…

I shouted for help, but…

But no one heard me.

They were able to catch me.

Arun… he was badly hurt,

they'd hit him with bats.

After they left, he found me…

We found my clothes, and then he dropped me home.

Hold on a moment…

He took you home?

Ma'am…

My family, particularly my father and brother,

they're very strict.

I am not allowed to be out late at night.

So all I could think of at the time

was to get home somehow.

For God's sake.

Who were those boys?

Did you know any of them?

No,

I only caught a glimpse of one of them.

But I think he knew who I was.

The main guy, their leader.

He called out my name.

So you knew him?

Ma'am, actually, a few years ago when I took extra classes…

someone would leave gifts, chocolates,

and things like that for me there.

Then one time, he asked to meet me, but I refused.

Later, he wrote me an angry letter,

written in blood.

He said I had used him.

Do you think he's the same guy?

He spoke in a similar way.

It was him.

I'm sure it was him.

I think you need to report this.

No, ma'am.

Why not?

You're not alone in this.

I am here, and so are my colleagues.

We will all support you.

Thank you, ma'am.

But…

I don't want to relive all of it.

But you are reliving it, Madhu.

How many times have you revisited that night in your head

and wondered,

"If only I didn't go there, or wore that, or done that

none of this would've happened"?

Countless times.

Exactly.

Even now, you doubt every decision you make.

Yeah?

It's all a part of it.

And that's what you need to fight.

You need to trust your instincts.

You get it?

Excuse me?

May I help you?

Can you please show me those?

Babban.

Show her.

I had both of them on when we left Munger.

But I lost one by the time we reached Delhi.

Looks good on you.

Let's go. It's time.

Deepa, wait inside.

I'll take Grandpa to the Doctor, okay?

The heater is on.

Close the door, it's very cold outside.

Shall we, Grandpa?

Let's go.

Grandpa!

Grandpa!

Grandpa!

Grandpa!

Open up!

Grandpa!

Open the door!

Has Bela di not woken up yet?

Actually, Bela went home last night.

I didn't tell you outside because I wanted to talk to you…

Alone.

You came to my office?

Yes…

Someone in my hostel said there's a job opening.

Oh, I see.

Okay.

I see.

Then why did you ask for me?

I thought it might help if I gave them your reference…

See, that's the problem.

It's not the truth.

You are lying.

Because you told the receptionist something else.

You said you were looking for my…

Gwalior address.

Why did you think I'm from Gwalior?

I'm sure Bela told you I'm from Delhi, and…

I don't understand. Why go to my office

and ask for my Gwalior address?

Why?

Because you know me from Gwalior.

-What? -You know me well.

Sorry?

You were with those guys that night.

Which guys?

Nakul…

Nakul Bhaiya.

I'm… I'm sorry.

Madhuri, right?

-Madhuri… -You know my name!

Of course!

Of course, I know that you're Bela's friend, but that's it.

I don't understand what--

You know what stalking is, right?

What?

Okay, first of all, calm down.

I don't have any idea what you're talking about right now.

Please. Please sit down.

Just a second.

Bela's friend.

Easy. Yeah.

Easy. Be careful.

-I'll do this. -It's okay, Pa.

Let me help.

Come.

Easy, easy. Do not put pressure on it. Yeah.

Easy, easy.

Hey!

Sorry.

Easy.

My father.

He had a fall yesterday.

Lift my leg.

I brought him from the hospital this morning.

You didn't make my morning tea.

I did, Pa.

Liar! You are lying.

You drink it and don't give me any.

I'll make another cup.

Where's my heat pad?

Can you please pass me the heat pad?

Can't you get anything right?

-Just a sec. -Useless fellow!

One sec, Pa, I'll get it.

Thank you.

Papa has dementia.

He's very temperamental.

You saw, right?

Sugar?

Fuck.

You used to stalk me when I went to classes.

I was born and brought up in Delhi.

I've never been to Gwalior.

I've never met you.

I've never stalked you.

And I've never assaulted you.

Nakul…

I heard that name that night.

Okay.

If you don't mind,

when did you remember that name?

Was it before,

or was it after Bela told you about me?

I…

Bela told me

that you had no idea who those guys were.

Here's my card.

Let me know if I can be of any help.

We should catch a cab.

It'll be here any second.

Just give it five minutes.

We'll save time in a cab.

-Look, it's here. -Happy now?

It's here. Let's go.

Cab! Bus!

-What was I thinking? -When will it stop?

Let's go.

Come.

-Come. -Thank you.

Are you okay?

-Let's go for a movie. -Hindi?

Hi.

Hi.

-Hi. -Hi.

I'm Madhu.

I'm new here.

I'm Annie.

-This is Sarla. -Sarla.

Which room?

333.

The one on that side.

-Oh, it's that one. -Poor girl.

I am sure the warden hasn't told her.

Seems so.

-Excuse me! Hi. -Hi!

Sarla, chutney?

Chutney…

When did you move in?

It’s just been a few days.

I didn't see anyone around last night.

Oh.

Actually, I work nights at a call center.

And these girls also have night shifts.

-But you've run out of luck. -Hey!

Come, sit inside.

-Sit. -Come, sit.

Listen, there's no point complaining to the warden.

They never let anyone stay in that room.

And what about the girl who used to live there?

Well…

Anu was their good friend.

They don't really talk to anyone anymore after her death.

Did she die in my room?

No! It was a road accident.

They were a tight-knit group.

The third floor was their hangout spot.

But since Anu passed away,

things have changed.

They wander around the hostel all messed up.

Yeah, I've seen them. That pregnant lady…

Yeah, Rima.

You know she has a six-year-old daughter?

I think they're crazy or something.

Rajesh…

-What? -You done?

Done with what?

Filthy creature.

All you do is stare all day.

Who stares all day long?

Bullshit! Who does all the work then?

Just like I said.

Look at them.

Listen, go get yourself some breakfast too.

Okay.

Move.

Hey, sis, I picked it straight from the tree.

Do you want a slap?

What are you doing here?

We've been to so many doctors,

but she hasn't found any relief.

None of the treatments seem to work.

She only feels a little better after we visit you.

Jeeva's mom is here.

Whenever we ask her to eat,

she says she feels nauseous.

She can't take care of the kids anymore either.

I'm really worried…

The pain just doesn't stop.

You should pray,

ask for forgiveness, and say your goodbyes.

You don't have much time left.

I've already done everything I could do for her.

Babban.

Wait here.

It's a nice business.

First, you feed them poison

and then give them the message of God.

There's a ton of money in smuggling scorpion oil.

I heard it goes for

500,000 rupees per gram.

Where have you sent my son and why?

He's your child.

You're the one who raised him.

I can't possibly know Jeeva better than you do.

As for my patients,

why don't you ask them what I do for them?

Give it a rest.

You can sell poison to these folks

if it comes wrapped in spiritual fakery.

And what if I consume the same poison too?

You were the one up there, right?

Yes.

How long have you been coming here?

What's up?

What's happening?

-I'm Constable Ilu Mishra. -Yes, ma'am?

Since when have you been seeing this hakim?

It's been two months.

I brought her here when the hospital couldn't help.

What happened there?

Show me your wrist.

Let me see it.

Sometimes the doctor cuts here

and takes out some blood.

Why?

To keep her illness in check.

-Can we go now? -Hold on.

You can go.

The Narayana police station has been calling.

They're going to label your son as a runaway.

Sir, I sent my son back to our hometown.

He ended up getting malaria there.

I've been trying to contact him, but…

You know the kind of trouble he's going to be in now, right?

Yes, sir.

Sir, do you remember that serial killer case

where all victims were female,

and their blood was drained?

Has another body been found?

No, sir.

My friend told me that someone in her hometown

does the same thing to practice black magic.

Can we reopen that file, sir?

We just had a similar case in our area.

The body was found at Sanjay Van.

She is breathing.

She is healthy and strong,

and I'm ill and weak.

My flesh…

has begun to rot.

The stench of death draws close.

I devour the souls of these angels to stay alive.

Get up!

I couldn't get hold of her spirit.

Again?

I need to search for a wounded soul.

I'm done disposing of corpses for you.

Find someone else.

Babban.

You're on your own now.

I can't arrange more girls for you.

Babban.

And your phone's been ringing non-stop.

It's some woman.

Did you go to visit someplace?

There's a girl there…

she's going to get very sick.

I need her.

Madhu, do you mind?

No, it's okay.

Come!

The power socket blew up again?

Every day something or the other breaks.

One day this hostel will only break.

So, Annie, how was your night shift?

Busy?

You are sick, Poorti.

Sarla, tell no.

What "tell no"?

Don't be silly, Poorti.

We don't have time for all this.

Do you know how much work there is on the night shift?

Whatever. I'll tell you.

So, Annie has a crush on the MRI Tech.

Hey!

I don't do all that bullshit, okay?

And if you have to change bedpans all night then you will know.

Idiot. Tell her to shut up.

Calm down.

Fear is a response.

A kind of warning. It's like a signal.

The bigger the threat we perceive,

the more we try to protect ourselves.

But what if we can't see the threat?

Exactly why I said the word "perceive".

It's what you feel.

I remember reading that negative thoughts

increase negative emotions in us.

They cause more pain.

Yes.

But the more you try to suppress the memory of that incident,

that trauma will return with all the more intensity

in some other form.

Okay, tell me something.

You used words like "fear" and "anxiety"

to express your current state of mind.

But when you talk about your assault,

you use words like "pain" and "hurt".

So, help me understand.

Is it fear that you feel when you think of your rape?

No.

I feel disgust…

and hate.

And most of all, anger.

What about fear?

When do you feel fear?

When I'm alone.

Like in my hostel.

In my room.

Hi.

Your mom just went downstairs.

I was looking for you.

Please, don't make me watch another horror movie.

I'm actually getting spooked now.

That's why I brought you this.

Use it.

What is it?

Kiara!

Pepper spray?

What's up?

Oh, nothing…

I take steroids for my workouts, so…

Sorry.

Why do you need to bulk up so much?

I like you just as you are.

Well, I don't!

We came here for Grandpa's treatment in the city hospital.

Then my wife and I went back to our village for harvesting.

When they found her body,

they called us here to identify it.

Where's your grandpa?

He's no more.

Okay, but he must have said something about your daughter.

What happened, where did she disappear?

Did she run away?

Tell me?

He sold her!

Shut up!

Talking utter rubbish!

Hey, let her talk.

Do you know who he sold her to?

I don't know his name.

Everyone calls him Doctor.

He killed our daughter in a ritual sacrifice.

Ever since his potion cured my father's cough,

he started trusting the guy blindly.

Nobody knew who he was.

No one had ever seen him.

A young boy would come to deliver the medicine.

He would always meet Deepa.

Who was the boy?

Can you identify him?

Is that him?

Yes! That's him.

He used to come here.

Who is he?

What's up there?

The terrace.

What happened over here?

We just want to get out of here.

Tell us how to do it.

And we're broke, by the way.

Neither do I need money,

nor do I have the time to spend it.

I just want one thing from you.

The girl who stays here…

Send her to me.

Why?

I have my reasons.

No!

Lana!

Are you okay?

How dare you!

How did he get in here?

You idiots brought him here?

This is my hostel,

not your shady clinic!

Guard!

Throw him out!

Stop!

Stop!

Please, stop!

At least tell us what happened in there.

Rima's about to give birth.

She'll die if she stays here. Please.

We'll have to use that girl as a medium.

Will you be able to do that?

What do you mean?

We'll have to harm her?

If your conscience won't let you,

then turn back.

The road ahead won't be easy.

Tell me what we need to do.

When instead of her own reflection,

it is the entity that stares back in the mirror,

When fear runs through her veins like a fever rising,

when she is hollowed out,

that's when you must bring her to me.

Come in.

Hello, ma'am.

Svetlana got some witch doctor into your room today.

He wrecked the place.

Wrecked it?

Why?

What's their problem, ma'am?

They've been wanting me out of that room since day one.

I've given them enough hell for it today.

Now, please don't go up there and start a fight with them, okay?

Everyone knows about it.

I bet you've heard about it too.

Their friend died a few months ago, and all this craziness started after that.

I've changed the lock.

Take the keys.

I found your shirt in the bathroom.

There was a broken button, so I fixed it.

Didn't see you around, so I thought…

Thank you.

You've done up the room nicely.

Why don't you come in?

Don't mind,

but the stain on the shirt…

I know exactly what it is.

Been on one too many packed buses myself.

There's only one way to deal with such creeps.

Stick it to them next time, right there…

Rima di, I got you some tea.

It's piping hot.

You remember which one's mine, right?

Yeah.

I don't have sugar, you see.

What should I do with this cup?

Lana's passed out already.

Such a waste. Throw it.

Wait, don't throw it. I'll have it.

Okay.

Madhu…

We didn't mean to mess up your room.

To us, it still feels like Anu's room, you know?

We felt it's important that it's cleansed.

Right, Rima di?

Madhu, the healer we called was pretty great.

I don't know if he cast a spell on us or this room,

but everything feels back to normal again.

What's wrong?

Is the tea bad?

No, just a little bitter.

I hope you didn't accidentally give me the one with sugar.

No way! This one has sugar in it.

-Shall I add some more? -No, it's fine. I'll have it.

Cool.

Is this a wedding or a freaking circus?

It's an engagement party.

Baby!

-Hi! -Hey, easy…

-Hi, Bela di! Congratulations. -Hi.

Thank you.

-Hey, Arun! How are you? -Good.

Guys, drinks!

She doesn't drink.

No, I do drink occasionally.

Oh!

Hey, it's okay.

You drink, right?

Come, come, come.

Baby, take care of her, okay?

Come.

What are you drinking?

Beer?

Beer? Fuck beer! No!

Nakul, so sorry for that day.

-Actually, I… -Hey, it's fine. It's okay.

Just a second.

Waiter!

Have fun and forget about it.

-Oh my, God! Hi! -Hi!

He's quite protective…

your boyfriend.

First time?

It's okay, it's okay.

Just go easy.

I'll be back.

Okay, hi, guys!

Hi!

I have a story to tell you.

About me, and this man over here, Nakul.

-Madhu, let's go. -Hold on…

Where?

Arun, stop. Where are you--

My perfect soulmate!

Arun, listen…

Listen…

Listen to me.

Arun, listen…

Not in here.

Arun, please.

Arun, not here.

Listen…

Stop!

I didn't say no.

I just wasn't comfortable there.

The other day you said…

that till we're together,

we'll never be able to get past that incident.

It's true, I can't forget it.

Right here…

It feels like I can't breathe.

I feel anxious.

And I don't have resources like Nakul and Bela.

If you want to break up with me, just say it.

Don't make excuses!

I'm saying you deserve someone better!

Good to hear.

Can we go now?

Arun, please…

Wait, wait…

Hear me out, I know you will walk away after that.

Listen…

Remember that picture you sent me?

From backstage?

Before the event?

I forwarded it to a friend of mine.

Saying…

"Look.

That's my girl.

I'll take her to the old lab today,

and we'll have a real date."

That asshole forwarded it…

to the entire group.

And…

They knew where to find us, Madhu…

because I told them.

Just for a cheap brag…

I ruined everything!

Damn it!

What were you looking at?

Do you know the rates for organs in the black market?

What do you get here for so much trouble?

Girl's dead, for nothing.

What are you gonna do with the cash?

It's my money.

I’ll do what I want with it.

Did you finish your studies, or were you a dropout?

Why, does one need a degree to dispose off corpses?

I graduated high school.

Then why are you working for me?

Babban said I'd make good money with you.

Why else?

By the way…

I heard you perform black magic to gain control of these girls.

Weakened souls…

are easier to control, if you know how.

Will you teach me?

Why do you want to learn it?

There are some chicks who need to be taught a lesson.

Come.

Watch and learn.

Jeeva.

Come here first.

Come here, now!

Can I eat first?

Eat later.

You never miss a free meal anyway, do you?!

Come here first.

Come!

You think this is a hotel?

Where have you been all these days?

At work.

Couldn’t you inform me before leaving?

Don’t drink so much. You don’t remember one goddamned thing later.

I'd already told you, I'm working with Babban.

Where?

Dariba.

They have guest rooms there. I crash there at night.

Who’s your boss?

What does it matter?

You're so drunk, you'll forget it all by morning.

Why didn’t you go see your parole officer?

I won’t! What'll you do about it, huh?

I'll throw you into jail. Got it?

Don’t try to act tough!

Try that without your uniform,

you won't scare a bloody street dog

Stay within your limits, okay?!

Know your bloody place!

You already ruined Dad's life, now don't screw with mine!

Go do your cop thing all you want, you'll end up drunk by night anyway!

Raising your hand on your mother now, huh?

I busted my ass working,

so you don’t end up like your wretched father!

But you turned out just like him!

Get off my back, dammit!

You think I’m a wretch, huh?

Who made me this? You sent me to rot in jail!

What did you tell me?

“Don’t worry, just confess to the crime!”

Could you save me from jail?

Did your boss save my ass?

All you saved was your good-for-nothing job! Speak up now!

You threw me under the bus,

and now ya acting all concerned like you are some mother of the century!

There you go again.

You busted that kid's eye!

His father would've got you killed!

I was all alone. Where could I hide you?

I did it to save your life.

Wherever you are, just stay alive, just be safe.

Jeeva!

I did it to save your life.

Alright, alright. Stop crying now.

Don't leave me, Jeeva.

Don't abandon me, son.

Fine, I won't.

I won't.

Hey, are you feeling okay?

Take it.

Thanks, but I already had one.

It's hot ginger tea!

No, I'm good.

Pass me some water, Komal.

Either answer it or cut the call.

If I cut it, he'll call back.

Did you break up?

Good for you.

You're still young.

Don't be so low. Delhi's full of eligible guys.

Just swipe right.

There’s plenty of options around.

Madhu.

You're not answering my texts or picking up my calls.

What's going on? I just swung by your hostel.

What do you want?

Are you feeling okay?

At least say something.

Madhu, come on--

Stop following me.

So, Arun knew those guys?

I don’t know.

My shift is about to begin.

Madhu, wait, wait.

Listen to me.

Actually, I don't know what to say.

I just… I just feel terrible.

It's okay.

No, it's not!

Stop saying that.

Nothing about this is okay.

We… we got you here,

and then we got so busy with our own lives that…

And… you've been dealing with so much.

Nakul, I'll handle it.

Just like I always have.

It's fine.

Can I just say something?

I think…

you've been very brave.

And I really admire you for that.

You can't do anything about aesthetics.

At least bloody do something about the smell!

Mamma, she's coming.

You're Nikki's mother?

Sonia Behl.

Hello, Gracie Doong…

Gracie Dungdung.

Hello.

My elder daughter.

-Tanisha. -Hello.

Sorry, the AC is not working.

Tea?

No, thank you.

She doesn't like talking on the phone.

So,

we thought…

we should drop by.

Okay.

Nikki?

Oh, my God! Nikki, what happened?!

What’s this?

Nikki,

what happened to your hair?

-No, I didn't carry mine. -You didn't?

-S-seriously? -Yeah, so?

Do you think we're gonna get some award for being selfless

if we sit inside that furnace?

Nikki, if the warden's office is such a dump,

I shudder to think what your room must be like.

-It's-it's… okay. -Why are you doing this?

Why are you torturing us like this?

You know we've been trying to call you.

-You are… -Message you.

But you’re not replying to us.

-…not letting me-- -Nikki, you've made your point.

Now come back.

W-what point?

You always blamed me for sending you to a boarding school.

Now you're paying me back like this?

Mamma sent me also, but I never turned out to be like that.

L-like what?

Like so resentful, Nikki, look at you!

You don't e-even…

St-t-tutter!

You k-know how-how I was treated!

Nikki, I didn't know.

I didn't know Sister Mary was beating you.

Josephine!

Yeah, so?

You're l-lying.

You saw the m-marks.

I-I can't g-go to the toilet

at n-night!

I don't wanna talk about it. Ma, can you just tell her?

Nikki, I know you don't like visiting the factory,

and it's not the type of work you're into, but…

Basically, we are cutting you off.

Now don't look at us like that now.

It's for your own good, Nikki.

You need to get out of this place.

Come on, Tannu…

Let's go to Big Chill for lunch.

Look at how thin she's become.

You know what? I don't understand

why you've been using our office account

for your personal expenses.

And to support all of these jobless women here.

What, you think we're running a charity here or what?

This is no joke, Nikki.

Please understand.

-It's not even her bank account. -Yeah.

Tannu and I are working really hard, my love.

Try and understand.

You can't just take undue advantage like this…

Take me back!

Nikki, you're leaving with us right now!

-I've had enough of this. -Where's her room?

I want to go and pack her stuff right now.

Please relax, don’t rush--

You want us to relax?

-Just look at her state. And you… -If you want her stuff,

Rajesh can grab it real quick.

I want her stuff now!

-Right now! -No!

Nikki?

I-I'm-I'm not leaving and you cannot make me!

Nikki, but--

Here.

Rakku!

Rakku?

Come on!

Rakku?

Hey, so we're all going to this pub.

Nice food, nice music.

We'll have fun. Please join us.

I've sent you the address.

It'll mean a lot to me.

Really.

Hello, sir. I'm calling from Dr. Shohini's clinic.

Sir, I’ll have to reschedule your appointment

because the doctor isn't available this week.

Madhu di!

Show me some anklets.

Just pick the one you like.

I want this one.

This came from your shop, right?

I found it on a dead body.

Mind explaining…

how it ended up there?

It’s not from my shop.

Where's the doctor?

I don't know. He's not here.

He's running out of time.

Master and his minion, you’re both going to jail real soon.

I’m not his minion, Jeeva was.

He took it off…

from that girl's dead body…

before he dumped her in the ditch.

You’re lying!

He's a bloody monster.

Who steals jewelry from a dead woman?

Who killed her?

Why don't you ask Jeeva?

He's the one who took her there.

I'll ask him, you scoundrel.

Once I’m done thrashing you in jail.

If I go down, I won't go alone.

I'll drag your son with me.

Think of what will happen after that.

Did you give her the concoction?

Yeah. I mixed it in her tea.

Where is she right now?

She went to her job.

She works at this woman's clinic.

Hey!

You crazy woman!

Fuck!

You fucking bitch!

Slut!

What the hell!

What the hell did you put in my eyes?

I will kill you! You cunt!

Hi!

Hello.

Madhu!

Hi!

-Hi. -You came!

You… look very different.

Thank you.

You look very nice. Even the…

Thank you.

Can I…

Let me get you a drink.

-What will you drink? -No. I'm feeling a bit under the weather.

What?

I'm not feeling well.

And it's pretty late too.

Come on.

Come with me. You’ll have a good time.

Sorry.

We're sitting in the back there.

Excuse me.

Kiss! Kiss! Oh! Oh my God!

-Babe! -Don't stop!

-Babe! Babe, look who's here! -Don't stop!

-Hi! -Hi!

Sit.

Let me get a drink for you.

I didn't know you were coming.

Did Nakul invite you?

Yes. I just popped by to say hi.

-Hi. -I just left the office,

-so I got late. -Oh, evening shift?

No, it’s my second job.

Oh, the receptionist's job.

Nice. Sweet.

That's your drink.

Thank you.

-Thank you. -Cheers.

How come she's here?

How's it?

-Is it too sweet for you? -Yeah.

-Anyway. I’ve got a surprise for you. -Thank you.

I have a surprise.

Papa?

Excuse me.

What happened?

Hey, Bela?

Papa, I'm listening to you.

Alright, calm down. I am listening to you!

Okay, Pa.

Hear me out, she means well.

Listen to me.

Yeah. Just take a rest, okay?

Good night, Pa.

Sorry to disturb you.

I'm going to leave.

Just wanted to say bye.

Stay if you can.

I'll like it.

Actually…

I feel Bela doesn't want me around.

Bela can act a little immature sometimes.

That's it.

How's your father?

I don't know…

He has his phases.

His mood swings.

These nurses and caretakers…

they can't take care of him like I do.

I can't leave him alone.

He's lucky to have you.

Really.

I haven't even been able to speak properly with my mom

since I left home.

What should I tell her anyway?

There’s nothing nice to say.

I don't like it here.

I feel all alone.

I don't fit in.

Hey, hey, hey!

Look at me.

Madhu, look at me.

Promise me one thing.

Promise, that you'll never fit in.

Nakul!

Where were you?

Huh?

Your surprise is here.

-Let's go. -I should be going.

What's going on?

Nakul, bro!

The truth you are hiding from

will come back to bite you one day.

I swallowed all that shit you gave me.

But it didn't do shit for me!

My wife ditched me.

Now she'll take me to court and drain me of millions.

Mr. Bhalla,

perhaps the medicine didn’t agree with you.

Your vile medicine isn't even helping you,

how the fuck will it help me?

You can fool the whole fucking world,

but don’t bullshit me.

I helped your brother become a legislator.

That's why you came to me.

So what?

You've done a lot for him.

I've heard rumors.

Lots of rumors.

You sacrifice women.

Sacrifices like that take a big toll.

Just look at me.

You think you can handle it?

I can handle anything,

but I can’t wait any longer.

Mr. Bhalla, don’t wound your soul just to satisfy your lust.

Any kind of unnatural death

disrupts the balance of the universe--

Spare me the lecture!

If I walk out of here with nothing,

your shop will be shut by tomorrow.

And you'll rot and die in jail.

Fine. Make a sacrifice on my behalf.

All you had to do was ask.

Come with me.

Wow, this place smells awful.

It's the smell of death, Mr. Bhalla.

That’s what you wanted, right?

She's… she’s dead.

She…

Let's go. I don't want anything.

-What about the sacrifice? -No.

Really?

You son of a bitch, you won't be spared!

Back off! Let me go!

What did you expect?

That you’d throw cash at me

and I’ll dance to your tune?

What happened?

What happened?

I heard something.

Madhu…

Madhu?

She's running a fever.

Komal!

Come on. Get up and sit on the bed.

Come on, Madhu.

There's water all over the floor.

Get a mop.

I'll get it.

We didn't spot you in the mess for dinner,

so we sensed something was wrong.

Is the mess still open, Komal?

No, it’s not.

I'm not hungry.

There’s something in this room, right?

Please, tell me. Please.

You’re talking like us now.

Exactly.

We just didn't want anyone to stay here,

so we started making up stories in our heads.

Why don't you leave, then?

Just because that girl died?

No, no… Something is definitely up.

You did not know Anu.

I had no money.

And she did not even know me.

But she paid my hostel fee.

After two years,

I started earning more than her,

and that's when we decided to move out.

And then?

Then what?

She broke up with her boyfriend…

and spiraled into depression.

She left the hostel.

After a while, we heard…

that she died in an accident.

It happened just a few months ago.

Madhu…

If-if-if you don't w-want to stay here,

in-in-in this room, you should l-leave.

This whole city suffocates me.

G-go home then!

Go… go back to G-Gwalior.

I can't.

Why not?

Why not?

Did something happen back there?

Hey, Lana…

I've heated up the soup for you.

My boss will flip if he catches me.

I only did it for you.

Where should I put it?

Over there.

So is he the same guy,

or do you just feel it's him?

I think all guys are the same.

-Assholes! -Madhu…

C-can-can you confirm it?

I'm not sure if it's real or if it’s all in my head.

You have to trust yourself.

And if you think this is the boy, this is the boy.

I don't know. I…

But if it was him, why would he suggest that I move to Delhi?

And why would he help me find a hostel?

To win your trust.

It's a very good soup.

Eat.

Eat and go to bed.

You’ll wake up with a clear head in the morning.

Hurry up, Nikki.

Is it the Niagara Falls?

Komal?

Komal?

Komal?

Komal?

What's going on?

Why are you banging on the door?

It's coming from your room.

My room?

I told you to leave before.

It's too late now.

Enough of this nonsense!

I'll complain to the warden.

All of you--

Rima!

The foundation has become shaky,

leading to cracks within the walls.

The building is on the verge of collapsing.

Mr. Bhalla, I lied to you.

I steal women's souls to gain physical strength.

I shall return…

to claim her,

and conquer death one last time.

You've got a fever.

Just rest today.

Don't think about anything else.

Hey, Lana…

Lana, please don't go out.

Something's happening to all of us. Don't go.

I have to go and I will.

I have no leaves left, I have to join today.

I don't have a job otherwise.

Lana, I'm telling you.

There's something…

Shut up, Anu, I have to go!

Get better soon, then both of us will leave, okay?

It's been two weeks.

Amit hasn't called once.

Let that bastard go to hell.

Rima won't go to work.

Nikki is anyway useless.

And Komal, she's just turning into Rima's puppet.

All that superstitious nonsense.

-Mad stuff. -Lana…

Whatever has happened has happened. We have to move on. Can't--

Anu?

Anu, are you okay?

Bitch!

You aren't going anywhere, you slut!

What's wrong with you, Anu?

Madhu!

Open the door, Madhu!

Ma'am, move aside. I'll break it open.

Madhu?

I don't know what happened.

I was sleepy.

Then the light bulb blew up

and I started screaming.

Just like that?

Seriously?

Poorti,

I can't stay in this room anymore.

I feel really strange here.

Madhu… I understand.

Actually, we're also leaving the hostel.

-When? -End of this month.

Come with us?

Alright.

Let's talk about it when I come back tomorrow.

She told me that the girls on her floor were very hostile to her.

I heard they even got

some kind of a tantric or spirit doctor to her room.

Look, ma'am,

girls from across India come to stay in this hostel.

Whatever their personal beliefs and thoughts might be,

it's not my business to meddle with them.

I don't interfere.

Isn't it weird, though?

It's quite odd, don't you think?

These girls never leave the hostel.

One of them is pregnant.

I mean, I'm just curious. Does no one care about them?

Families, colleagues, friends?

Like… nobody calls?!

One girl's family has threatened to shut down the hostel.

The other's husband says he will go to the cops.

I'm tired of trying to reason with them,

but they just refuse to leave.

What am I supposed to do?

Ma'am, I don't trust these spirit doctors, quacks,

or black magic.

I don't believe any of it.

That's why I wanted to speak to you in private.

You're a psychiatrist.

What's the cure for all this?

To find a cure, we need to know what ails these girls.

Right now, we are all in the dark.

How is that girl doing?

Something happened to her last night.

She left with her local guardian.

I don't know what happened.

She'll be back.

There's something here that will bring her back.

When she comes back…

One last time.

Tell me the name of that spirit.

I need to know its name.

Sweetie, there's a right time and place for everything.

Please put that away.

I might as well go to my room.

Kids these days…

Anyway.

Ma'am, I'll put those away.

Are you okay?

What's wrong?

Sorry…

It hurts, huh?

Looks like an insect bite.

Give me one second, and I'll just put something for you.

By the way…

the warden mentioned that…

she found sleeping pills in your room.

Have you started taking them again?

I can't sleep, ma'am.

And I've been having strange dreams too.

Such as?

What did you dream of last night?

Last night, I dreamt that someone was banging on my door.

I was sleepy.

When I opened the door,

all the girls were standing right there.

Go on.

I said something to them.

Then someone pushed me and dragged me inside.

It felt so real like it wasn't a dream.

My room was locked from the inside, there were so many people…

Who was it?

The one who dragged you? Did you see their face?

I didn't see their face, ma'am.

I just felt a force.

Yeah.

Someone forcefully pushed you and dragged you inside.

Faceless entity.

I don't know if you see this, Madhu, but…

Your mind is playing the assault again and again.

No.

No, ma'am.

Others also believe that there's something in that room.

Those girls are so scared, that they never leave the hostel.

And they don't seem too well either.

I've noticed it.

There are some kind of wounds and bruises on their bodies. Every day.

Hello?

Gracie Dungdung?

Hi! Hi, this is Dr. Shohini Verma.

I think I have an idea about what your girls are going through.

Can I meet them?

I really want to help them.

I think they are afraid of something.

I think it could be something really bad.

Madhu di?

Madhu di?

Go back.

I have to go. I'll leave.

Good morning.

Sorry, sorry.

Ma'am left early today.

She asked me to wake you up early,

so you don't miss breakfast.

See you in the evening, okay?

Bye.

Just a routine checkup.

Komal.

Where are you from?

Bhagalpur.

I came here to do a course…

At the vocational training institute.

I come from Kohima.

It's paradise.

So, why did you come to Delhi?

To see the world.

I thought the world was out there,

waiting for me.

But I felt so furious here, every single day.

I used to get up…

angry.

I didn't want people to look at me.

I don't want to look at them.

Wanted to be invisible.

Then I met Anu.

Ma'am, actually, I'm a nurse at GTB Hospital.

Anu used to work there too.

Our friendship was…

She saw me.

She really saw me.

You never thought of moving out with her?

I tried, but…

she broke up with her boyfriend and…

she got really depressed after that.

When did she break up with him?

D-December 31st.

Lost… lost her mind.

She was disturbed.

I had warned her.

That he wasn't going to marry her.

But she was smitten.

These small-town girls,

think everything will work out for them in Delhi.

But it doesn't.

It didn't.

I mean, it's obvious that the relationship had problems.

It didn't work out.

So she got disturbed.

Now what about you?

Why don't you get out of this hostel?

-You won't believe me even if I tell you. -Let go.

-Hear me out, Kapil. Please. -Let go.

Even my husband thinks that I'm just making all this up.

He won't let me see my daughter.

If I take even a single step outside the hostel…

only I know what happens to me.

She used to feel scared here, ma'am.

She said she didn't want to live here.

But didn't all these things start happening in the room

after she passed away?

No, ma'am.

It started after New Year's.

Something happened.

Those girls fought that night.

A physical fight, ma'am.

So did you guys fight that night or sometime later?

Or like… did you guys get into any kind of an argument?

Anything at all?

N-no.

The next day it started.

What started?

Running and screaming in the corridor.

Towards the end, they would lock her up in that room, ma'am.

So, tell me something…

Why did you all lock Anu in that room?

She-she used to h-hal-hallucinate.

S-she used to become violent.

Since when have you not stepped out of the hostel?

Since Anu's death.

What happens when you try to leave?

I mean, what goes through your mind?

How do you feel?

-Do you feel scared, or anxious? -Don't go.

What is it?

Come.

It's okay.

Come.

You can't stay here for too long.

Nikki and Rima's family are coming to take them.

You don't have a choice.

Come, it's okay.

Nothing will happen Komal. It's okay. Come.

Enough…

It's okay. Come.

Good. Good.

No need to be afraid. It's okay.

Good.

Come.

Come, it's okay.

Komal.

It's okay.

Come.

There's nothing. Come.

It's okay, come.

Get back in.

-Komal! -Komal!

Are you okay?

Yeah?

-Hi! -Hi!

Come in.

Bro, I'll catch you after class.

-Bye! -Bye!

I'm making tea.

Would you like some?

Do you have coffee?

My uncle is a cop,

so my cousin and I got the police to question him.

The guy I forwarded your picture to.

We found out that he had forwarded it

to the whole group of third-year students.

So, were all the guys from the college?

You sure?

Where else could they be from?

We even went to the college and the hostel to investigate.

Some of the boys had already left for home,

some were still there…

But we didn't find anything.

We found no evidence.

We could've nabbed them.

Had I been brave,

those guys would've been caught the very next day.

I also did nothing, Madhu.

I just nodded along.

Right then, all I could think of was…

to just somehow get through the night.

It was a bad call.

We should have gone to the police.

Arun.

If you stay with me,

you'll always be worried like this.

I've noticed it ever since I got here.

No…

I couldn't move ahead without telling you the truth,

but I just couldn't get myself to, what else could I do?

I get it, but…

But…

What's the point of staying together like this?

Plus, I'm dealing with lots of other problems right now.

So please, stop following me

and calling me out of guilt.

Madhu. Listen, please.

Madhu, please.

Please stay.

Don't go, please.

No, Arun. This isn't right. You…

It's okay, Madhu. I know being with you will be difficult,

but I also can't be happy without you.

I can't live without you.

-Arun… No! -Madhu, please listen.

Enough of this, please.

Please stay.

Please!

Stay.

Everything will be alright.

Please, everything will be okay.

Please.

Please.

Please.

Have you seen the wounds and bruises on those girls?

Komal gathered her courage and tried to step out of the gate.

I saw that trauma on her face.

How do you even explain that?

You tell me…

Why are they harming themselves?

I don't know.

Seems to be some kind of a manifestation.

As if their bodies are expressing the trauma and fear

that's playing on their mind.

But I know for sure…

that something happened to Anu in this place.

She left this place perfectly fine.

Nothing happened to her here.

I dropped her off myself.

Why did she want to get away so badly, then?

And why was she scared in her own room?

How many times do I have to say this?

She committed suicide.

I saw her dead body.

A report was filed at the Vasant Vihan Police Station.

You can go and check it yourself.

Who knows what happened that night?

So you agree, don't you?

Something happened in that room.

Hi.

I-I wanna g-get out of here.

Can-can-can you help me?

Of course.

That's exactly why I am here.

I'll just have a word with your family.

I think we must inform them.

Is that okay?

Listen…

It's all going to be fine, okay?

And if there's anything that you need, you just reach out to me.

Okay?

You be good.

Can I ask you something?

Is Madhu safe here?

So, then…

call me when you are free.

Okay.

A girl came to your clinic.

She was later found dead.

How many other women have you killed?

Found your son?

You bastard!

What did you do to him?

He used to come here to learn.

But he just didn't have what it takes.

He just wanted quick money.

He wanted to get away…

from his selfish mother.

Why did you kill those girls?

Out of necessity.

What do you mean?

They were the only cure for my condition.

I'm running out of time.

If you keep chasing me,

you'll lose your son.

What did Jeeva do for you?

He'd dispose of dead bodies for me.

Afterward, I'd send him out of town for a while.

Is he alive?

Is he?

He will come back.

He'll regret it if he does.

I won't spare him.

If that were the case,

you wouldn't be here.

You would go straight to the police station.

Will you sacrifice your son…

for the sake of duty, again?

Kiara?

What's wrong?

I'm leaving, okay?

Rashmi di is here to give you company, right?

Okay, bye.

Madhu!

Come, sit. I'll drop you.

No, it's okay. I'll manage.

It's okay, it's fine. Come, sit.

Actually, Bela told me that you work here.

I'm sorry to show up like this, out of the blue.

No, it's okay.

You can drop me off at the curb ahead.

Right.

I just thought I could talk to you once.

If that's okay with you.

See…

I understand that you don't want to talk to me.

I guess that's why you aren't answering my calls either.

But, really, there's nothing to be embarrassed about.

That kiss… it was special.

And you're very special.

I'm really sorry I can't do anything about it.

I'm with somebody else.

-So-- -Nakul…

I don't want to talk about this.

I'm not even thinking about it.

That's why I want you to drop me off ahead.

-Please… -Relax!

Relax. Of course, I'm gonna drop you.

I didn't want to make your life more complicated.

I just wanted to help.

That's it.

I know and I'm grateful.

You and Bela di helped me so much.

I got so much confidence.

Back in Gwalior, I was such a coward,

I couldn't even talk to my family about it.

But now…

Now?

I spoke to Arun.

They must be punished for what they did.

It's not too late.

It's not too late.

No need to feel grateful.

I didn't have any other option, really.

Bela insisted that you stay with us.

Ever since you entered my life, my life has been hell.

And for what?

Tell me, Madhu, for what?!

Fuck everything.

I can't take it anymore. Just tell me one thing.

Do I look like a fucking rapist?

You think I'm a rapist?

You think a well-educated guy like me goes around fucking raping women!

-Nakul-- -That's what you think of me?

-Nakul! -Even after what I have--

I'm sorry.

I said it because that's what I felt at that moment. Or else…

-I'm sorry. -Shut the fuck up!

This is exactly what the problem is!

I asked you a simple question

and all I needed was a straightforward answer,

but instead, you're trying to play games.

You always seem to enjoy playing games.

You know what?

I'm done.

It was me that night.

Now what?

I used to cut my wrists for you…

thinking, maybe Madhu will finally notice me.

You didn't even acknowledge me.

You thought I was an idiot, so you decided to use me.

-You used me. -Stop the car.

I'll show you "use".

-What didn't I do for you? -Stop the car.

When I was in boarding school, I spent every penny I had on you.

Gifts, cards, phone…

I even bought you a phone, didn't I?

And you fucking used me, man.

You used me.

-Stop the car… -Shut up.

-Hey! Fucker… -Stop the car! Stop the car.

-Shut the fuck up! -Stop the damn car!

Shut up!

You…

You used to flirt with ten different guys at once!

You know what…

What was the first thing my cousin sent me

when I came back for our school reunion?

Your forwarded message!

You're a fucking prostitute!

You know that?

Fuck!

Catch her! Grab her! Stop her!

Ma'am! Ma'am! Ma'am! Listen! Listen! Listen!

-Get her! -No! Let me go!

-Grab her! -Fuck!

-Let me go! Let go! -Get her.

-Let me go! -Shut up!

Vinay, where are we gonna dump her, man?

Just a bit further in.

Alright, let's go.

Hey, hold on, guys.

What the hell are you doing?

Let's think this through.

Does she even know it was us?

Do you want to go to jail?

Try to understand, Vinay.

Have you both fucking lost it?

It's her word against ours, right?

Haven't you heard… “Believe her!”

-Everyone's going to believe her story. -Are you really gonna…

-Stop it, guys! -Try and understand.

She knows!

She knows, okay?

She knows it was the three of us.

Shit!

She didn't talk before, but she definitely will now!

So, we have to do it and we have to do it right now!

So, let's go.

Fuck! Fuck!

Where the hell is Madhu?

Vinay! Vinay!

Nakul!

Nakul!

You…

No!

Shut up! Shut the fuck up!

Shut up!

Shut up!

Shut up!

Rohit, meet me near the container.

Container? Where's the container?

Hurry up!

Vinay!

Nakul!

-Hello? -Hello, Nakul?

Did you find her?

No, man!

Let's get out of here, Nakul. It's way too dark here.

I'm very scared!

Stop shouting, dumbass.

If she hears us, she'll bolt.

My phone battery is about to die too.

What? Hello?

Nakul…

Shit!

Ma'am, ma'am… ma'am, listen to me, ma'am.

Ma'am, I didn't do anything, ma'am.

Please, listen to me. Those boys bullied me, ma'am.

I wasn't even with Nakul.

Ma'am… I'm sorry, ma'am.

I was under a lot of pressure, ma'am.

I am not like that.

Ma'am, it'll ruin my life and my career.

Please don't take my name, ma'am.

Please, ma'am, I'm sorry.

Am I too late?

Something urgent came up.

Sir?

He is here.

He's been waiting for you.

Did he inquire about the file?

-Come. -I went to check on that.

Come, I'll take you to him.

-Follow me. -Yes.

Sir, Ilu Mishra.

Send her in.

-Jai Hind, sir. -Jai Hind.

Come, come.

Sir, I took this file with me.

I've done a thorough investigation.

Ms. Mishra,

why are you investigating this?

Sir… I know I made a mistake, sir.

I've always prioritized my job over everything.

But, sir, I'm also a mother, so…

Please have a seat first.

Take a seat.

Sir, I was going to tell you about it.

Here, have some water.

It's true, sir.

I'll listen to what you have to say.

Believe me, sir.

I don't know where Jeeva is.

I'm also trying to find him, sir.

-Sir… -Ms. Mishra.

When things get tough,

as a police officer you must know how to

control your feelings and emotions.

That's a post-mortem file, sir.

We found your son, Ilu.

No, sir.

Please don't say that, sir.

We had declared him as a fugitive.

That's when we found out

that the Yamuna Nagar Police Station had discovered a body six months ago.

It was floating down the river in their jurisdiction.

No one came forward to claim the body…

so they cremated it.

Keep going, kill us with this crap

Then we won't have to worry about anyone else doing it.

Listen…

Nikki, you've got to quit this talk of leaving!

Are you mad?

I really wanna know.

Are you mad or stupid or both?

Komal, you've got to reason with her.

I don't get why she's acting out of character all of a sudden.

You poisoned her!

All of you! I saw it!

Yeah, so?

Tell me…

Yeah, so?

It's not fair!

-It's not fair on-on Madhu. -Really?

Fair?

Are you mad?

What do you want, huh?

Do you want us to die?

I-I wanna get out.

Come on, Nikki, don't be so stubborn.

All you keep saying is, "I want to get out, I want to get out."

Then why wait until tomorrow? Why not leave right now?

Go ahead, just leave.

You've suddenly become so brave, huh?

You can't even go to the bathroom alone!

Lana.

Lana.

Careful.

Madhu?

Madhu…

You should eat something.

It's not good to drink on an empty stomach.

Did you manage to figure out…

what happened?

His dead body was beyond recognition.

Someone killed him and dumped him into the river.

He was murdered in January.

I last saw him on the evening of 31st,

just before I met you.

I am sure something happened to him that night.

Do you think the hakim is responsible for Jeeva's death?

If I tell the authorities,

they will probably put all the blame on him.

They'll say he delivered girls to the Hakim.

They'll accuse him of practicing black magic

and committing murders.

So, what do you plan to do then?

I'll kill that doctor.

Are you out of your mind?

He is the one who manipulated my son, Gracie.

I won't let him go unpunished, no way.

What do you mean, manipulated him?

Your son has always been like that.

He took the girls to the Hakim.

He got rid of the dead bodies for him too.

Not exactly blameless, is he?

And yet, you're willing to throw away your life and job for him.

Don't you think you've already done enough?

You've always spoiled him.

So when you finally tried to set him straight, he lost it.

He took out his anger on you.

And it didn't stop there.

It was like he was filled with venom.

He would be there stalking, tormenting my girls behind the hostel.

At home, making his mother miserable!

What was he good for, really?

Have you lost your mind?!

My son was so toxic

that's why you never wanted him near you, huh?

You never helped me raise him.

You just kept lecturing me all the time.

Because you didn't want to settle down.

You didn't want to have kids.

Or maybe you did

but you couldn't find anyone?

Enough!

I kept chasing after you.

I believed everything you said.

I used to beat up Jeeva because of you.

It was for your own good.

Bullshit!

You still don't get it, do you?

Oh, I do.

And I always did…

But I pitied you.

And that's why I kept coming to see you.

Who do you think you are?

Just because you live in this black hole

and give orders, you think you're somebody?

You are nothing!

At least I didn't raise a murderer.

Oh, come on, Madhu. Where have you been?

I couldn't reach your phone.

I even spoke to Dr. Shohini.

She mentioned that you left last evening.

The least you could've done is called and let me know.

What happened?

Who did this?

-Madhu? -Yes.

Those girls at the hostel did this?

Nakul…

Do you remember Nakul Khanna?

Nakul…

Nakul? Bela's fiancé Nakul?

Arun, it was him with his friends that night in Gwalior.

It was Nakul!

I saw the three of them together.

Recently, here in Delhi.

Okay, just a moment.

We previously agreed

that we didn't see anyone's faces, right?

Yes, yes, I know.

But I think… I thought it was Nakul.

I even heard his name that night.

But I started connecting the dots later on.

It was Nakul.

I even confronted him about it here.

Here, in Delhi?

But he denied it.

Then I saw them together at a pub.

Why didn't you tell me all this?

I didn't mention it because initially, I thought I was imagining things.

But I was right.

It was them, all three of them.

They realized that I recognized them,

so yesterday they brought me to the jungle here to kill me.

They forcefully took me inside, just like they did before.

Come on, get up.

Listen, Arun…

Madhu, if you don't report this to the police, then I will.

Report what?

Arun…

I killed them.

Back there, in the jungle.

What?

Arun, you know that girl Anu,

the one who used to live in that room.

Well, I have a feeling that she might have…

I mean…

How do I say this?

Okay, listen, it sounds strange,

I know, but I think she actually helped me out.

She helped me.

-Do you understand what I'm trying to say? -Yeah, sure.

No, Arun, do you really understand?

Yes, I do.

Madhu…

You are saying that you killed all three of them, correct?

Yeah, yeah, I remember doing something.

I had…

Arun, I…

What I think is a dream is actually real, it happens to me.

The things I see, the things I recall, it's all real.

-But I just don't… -Right…

No, I can't find the right words to explain it to you.

Who are you trying to call?

No, I'm not making any calls. Actually, my call logs…

Nakul called me this morning, Madhu.

This morning?

I tried calling you last night but you weren't picking up.

I was getting worried.

I didn't know what to do, so I called Bela.

He was with her, Madhu.

I actually spoke to him last night too.

Huh?

Huh?

Either way, someone has done this to you.

So we really need to report it, Madhu.

I am telling you, it's Nakul!

Please, just trust me, Nakul is responsible.

Listen, he…

he gave me a ride yesterday.

He offered me a ride yesterday.

Catch her! Stop her!

I sometimes lose track of time, Arun.

When I come back, everything feels off.

I…

I can't even explain what's going on.

Madhu, here's what you should do.

Go pack all your belongings, alright?

I'll be back in an hour and then we can leave.

Inform your warden that you're leaving the hostel.

Got it?

You know what's happening to me, don't you?

Come on, let's go to the mess and grab some tea.

No!

Just tell me what's in that room!

I feel like I'm losing it! Please!

-Please! -Calm down, Madhu.

We know there's something in your room.

But nobody believes us.

We called someone from Old Delhi.

He can help you.

All of us.

You'll have to go and see him.

He will tell you everything.

Lana!

Rima! I have to speak to you.

I can give you his number.

Warden won't let him come here.

-Please, Madhu. -You can go and meet him.

What happened, Madhu?

All okay?

Ma'am, I am leaving the hostel.

She's leaving.

You guys are next.

Nikki's family is coming to take her away today.

She told me she wanted to leave.

Come here and sit quietly.

Always playing with the car…

Mishra ji!

Why are you sitting there?

Come with me.

Yes, yes.

Yes, I understand.

I have everyone working on it, sir.

We will distribute those today.

Yes.

Mishra ji. Please have a seat.

Sir, any updates?

Mishra ji, you'll have to help us out.

You've seen so many cases.

Think like a cop.

Who did he meet?

Who he spoke with?

Where all did he go?

We will find the person responsible.

Sir, I spoke to one of his friends, Babban.

He used to work with a hakim…

a tantric in Old Delhi.

Okay. Excuse me.

Yes, sir?

Yes, I got them.

My officer has all the reports.

Yes, sir, yes.

The MLA of Subodh Nagar…

His brother has gone missing.

Let me assign a team to it and call you back. Okay?

Please be patient.

Everything will work out for the best.

I will send you his call records by this evening.

It has been pouring heavily.

This building is quite old.

That's why the walls have become damp.

Mom, be careful, okay?

Oh God, this building is falling apart.

How do you feel?

G-good, I guess.

Mrs. Behl, your…

daughter is feeling a mix of fear and pain.

She seems to be unable

to leave this place due to some underlying trauma.

And we should not force her, right?

So, I suggest we should take her out under sedation.

Dr. Bajaj is on her way.

She will monitor you.

Okay?

Don't worry, okay?

You're in expert hands.

No, but what is the reason behind all this?

She has stayed in hostels all her life.

This has never happened in the past.

Oh, come on, Mom! It is all about this place!

You've heard of the "Sick Building Syndrome"?

It's making her go crazy! Look at her!

Literally making her go crazy!

I'm n-not c-c-c…

You'll fall asleep, Nikki.

Don't worry, everything is fine.

You'll wake up and you won't feel anything.

Tannu?

If-if something happens to me,

please b-bring m-me back.

What are you saying?

No-no, please, promise…

-Nikki, nothing will happen. -You will bring me back.

You're fine.

I-I w-will d-die outside.

Nikki, you won't.

Nothing will happen to you. Okay?

Nothing will happen.

It's fine.

It's fine. I'm here.

Momma's here, right?

It's okay, it's okay.

Are you okay?

Yes,

once she gets better,

then it's all good.

Something happened, I guess.

There is a lot of police there.

Excuse me!

Has there been an accident further down the road?

We found two dead bodies, ma'am.

You should leave.

Is this Roohani Dawakhana?

Yes, this is it.

Let me take you inside.

Hey, mind the shop.

Please, come on in.

I was trying to call the number they gave me, but no one picked up.

The doctor's too swamped to answer the phone.

He has tons of patients.

Patients come from Mumbai and Kolkata just to see him.

Right this way, please.

Come on in.

Have a seat here,

I'll go find the doctor for you.

You have a female patient.

Do you run this clinic?

I came to Delhi about a month ago.

I found a job here.

I also rented a room in a hostel.

But…

I keep feeling like there's someone in my room.

I mean, there's something in there.

Those intangible things that you can't see,

but sense deep down.

How do you convince someone else about it?

It's really tough.

How…

did you manage to find me?

I stay at a hostel.

I think you visited there.

Initially, I thought there was something in my room.

But now I think maybe I'm just losing my mind.

Lately, I've been having trouble remembering…

things that happen with me.

Like yesterday.

Something terrible happened,

but I can't recall exactly what.

When a spirit possesses you,

it puts you into a deep sleep.

You remember everything later…

like fragmented pieces of a dream.

Yes.

That's how I feel.

That's exactly how I feel!

So…

am I being possessed by a spirit?

There's someone trapped in that room.

I think it's the girl who used to live there.

I felt its presence there.

I'm late.

I need to leave.

Open it!

Come on, everyone. Let's go in.

Sir, that's where he lives and his clinic is upstairs.

Let's go up there.

Look thoroughly!

No one's here, sir!

Check every single room!

Check out his collection.

Snakes, scorpions, turmeric…

What the hell did he make?

How would Mr. Bhalla even get here?

This lane is way too narrow for a car, isn't it?

Sir, I've seen him here.

If we inquire around, we'll definitely find out more.

Sir!

We've searched through all the rooms,

but there's nobody here.

Jai Hind, sir.

Sir, we just conducted a raid in this place.

Unfortunately, we didn't find anything here, sir.

But, sir, I'm pretty confident he's here.

Yes, sir.

Nope, no signs of Mr. Bhalla anywhere here.

Alright, okay then. Bye.

We'll take care of him, don't worry.

This falls under our jurisdiction.

However, we couldn't find a single trace of Mr. Bhalla here.

That's our main focus right now.

And that kid…

he needs to close his shop.

No!

We'll talk later.

Hey!

Let the girl go.

Sir! He's down here.

Let her go!

I said let her go!

Go inform the cops that he's in here.

Okay.

If I am caught…

you'll never find your son.

Cut the crap.

I have found my son's dead body.

But he is still here.

Your son passed away in that hostel room…

where the Warden doesn't let anyone go.

I can help you meet with your son.

You know I am not lying.

I have a feeling you'll reach out to me.

And if you do, I'll definitely come.

Hi, Dr. Bajaj. How is she?

She's doing good.

We're just getting started.

You know actually, I'm so certain it's a psychogenic illness.

So we're looking at the prefrontal cortex, right?

Yeah, it is one of the possibilities.

You know her family is so anxious.

I just don't know what to say to them.

Let me talk to them.

Please. Thank you.

Yeah, hello?

Ma'am, you didn't take our call.

We've been trying to reach you.

Nikki… How is Nikki doing?

Nikki is fine.

This is a very good hospital.

They have the best doctors to look after her.

Everything is fine.

Is she really okay?

Yes, she is. And…

I think you guys better start packing your things, it's time for you.

It's time for you all to leave the hostel.

Okay?

When can I get her reports?

By this evening I think.

Alright, then I'll make a move.

Inform me when the reports come in. I'll speak to Dr. Bajaj then.

Ma'am, absolutely.

Did you see that?

Is that… is that normal?

What the hell!

Stop it from here.

-It's not working, ma'am. -What?!

-It's not working, ma'am. -Then do it manually!

-Ma'am, nothing is working here. -Damn it!

How do I open the door?

-Nikki! -I can't open the door!

Nikki!

Ma'am, it's an emergency. Please come with me.

What happened?

-Isn't that Nikki's room? -Yes.

Okay… just wait a minute.

-I will call you back. -Nikki.

Nikki!

What happened to her?

No, no, no way! You must have heard it wrong.

Call her back right now.

Hey, Nikki just left. Just ask them again.

Lana, please ask them one more time!

Lana, ask them again!

Nikki just left here.

Lana, please ask them again.

Nikki!

You live in that room, right?

Those girls never let anyone stay there, do they?

Ma'am, it's clear that those girls intentionally sent Madhu there.

They've been causing trouble for her since day one.

You must question them.

Is there something weird about that room?

Do you sense anything?

Like, do you feel like there's a presence or something?

Like someone is nearby?

What kind of questions are you asking her?

I already told you,

those girls from the hostel purposely sent her to that place.

-They've made our lives miserable, ma'am. -Arun.

Please do something about them.

You can seek discharge,

make sure to give us your new address when you leave.

Ma'am, I'd like a discharge form, please.

For Bed No. 220.

Here you go.

Thank you.

As we mentioned earlier,

these two dead bodies have been found in such a horrifying condition

that it has caused a stir throughout the city.

The Delhi police have not yet been able

to determine how these two dead bodies ended up here.

Were they thrown here after being killed,

or were they murdered here?

The car they were found in has a license plate…

from Madhya Pradesh,

but we don't have any other details at the moment.

We're keeping a close eye on this case.

As soon as we get any updates,

we'll be sure to let you know first.

To know more, keep watching Amar Bharat News…

Arun.

I'm really scared right now.

Who were those guys?

Those guys from yesterday?

They're Nakul's friends.

They're from Gwalior.

Madhu… I think we should go back to Gwalior.

-Please try to understand, Madhu. We need… -No.

We need to leave…

There's no way I'm going back now.

No.

Madhu, you're not well.

Trust me.

-You need to leave. -No…

You… Madhu…

No, I don't want to go back.

-You-- -Madhu!

Oh, my God! You look terrible.

What happened?

Huh? What happened?

Arun called me. I came here as fast as I could.

Actually, Dr. Shohini wasn't picking up her phone.

I thought someone should be with you--

Sir, you need to submit this discharge form downstairs.

Please take care of the paperwork.

-Thank you, sir. -I'm right here. Okay?

-You're going to be fine. -Yes, I'll…

Hey, buddy.

All good?

Bela mentioned you called.

She said Madhu had a nervous breakdown.

Is she okay? Madhu?

Is she good?

The last time I saw you,

you had this… glow.

But today, you seem a bit off. Why?

All okay? All good?

Sorry?

It was you.

It was you that night.

Seriously, I don't understand, man…

Two of your friends were found dead in the jungle,

and here you are, acting like nothing happened!

Spare me your drama, save it for the cops!

Get off me, you…

Go…

tell the cops what happened.

I'm here,

and so are both of you.

You and your girl killed my friends, right?

It was you who took her to the jungle, right?

How the hell are you going to prove it?

I don't need to prove anything.

Got it?

And I can screw you guys.

She'll end up in prison for this.

And you too.

Let go!

Now fuck off!

Fuck!

Where have you been? I was looking all over for you.

-Can we leave? -Yes.

Hey, can we drop them off, please?

I think it's about to rain.

Yeah, that would be great.

We'll finish our conversation as well.

Let's go.

Look at this!

They're calling him a serial killer!

Why the fuck would you go to him, Madhu?

Bela, she went there because of me.

She kept saying it, but I didn't believe her.

She felt like she had no other choice.

She thought she was going crazy,

and I actually believed her.

Going crazy? What do you mean exactly?

Well, for a while now, I had this feeling

that the guy who assaulted me in Gwalior was here.

Shit!

-Nakul, what, man! -Sorry.

-What the hell! -Just let me concentrate on the road now.

So you actually knew this guy?

Yeah, I did.

Back when I was in 10th grade and he was in 12th.

He saw me during my tuition classes.

He started sending me gifts, and cards, and making phone calls.

But he never showed himself to me.

He had some sort of complex, I guess.

Since we were both repeating our class,

he never even told me his name.

And I…

I used to think of him as a friend.

Whenever he'd get bullied in the hostel,

he'd cry on the phone to me.

I felt sorry for him.

That's why I'd sometimes answer his calls,

even though I wasn't allowed to.

I even got thrashed by my dad because of it.

I eventually stopped talking to him,

but he didn't give up.

He kept insisting that we meet.

But I always said no.

Then, all I got was a letter…

He told me what I was really good for in that letter.

And that was it.

End of the story.

End of the story?

Wait, so you're saying that you've never actually met him?

-No, I did. -When?

Five years later, when he came to Gwalior.

Someone forwarded him a message about me.

He came to the college…

with a couple of his friends.

He showed me my place then.

It's been over a year now.

I see him in my dreams.

I have caught him and killed him a thousand times in my head.

But somehow, he always got away.

But not this time, now it's his turn to run, not mine.

We've reached Satya Kunj.

What's your lane number?

You know his father sent him to a boarding school in Gwalior?

Nakul Khanna.

I didn't know his name,

but now you know…

Look, I have to talk to the girls. Please.

What'll you get from talking to them now?

Nikki is gone.

Her family is really upset.

I've also received an eviction notice.

I have to shut down my hostel.

Please, just leave me and those girls alone.

Look, the way Nikita died…

Her family is devastated. You get what I'm saying, right?

Like… they need answers.

I need answers!

Gory visuals here from the basement of a man claiming to be a shaman.

A spiritual healer in Old Delhi.

He has butchered several women

in one of the most shocking cases of human sacrifices to rock the capital.

Yes, I've just turned on my computer.

Ms. Ilu, I have sent you a link.

Can you please click on it to open it?

Okay, it's loading now.

So, as you can see,

Jeeva's phone was last active in this location,

which is near Sanjay Van.

I know this place quite well.

What happened here that night?

Gently, Komal. You're pulling my hair.

I'm so hungry all the time these days…

I can't explain it.

You have it.

Nikki, did you get another bottle?

Pour me some.

Nikki, you're spoiling everybody.

I-I-I don't think so.

Rima di, chill out.

Komal, it's not sherbet.

You don't drink it like that.

How would small-towners like us know?

Our families don't wine and dine.

We're not as posh as you, Lana.

You know what, Rima?

You're just a nasty little bitch!

Watch your tongue.

I can dish it back too.

-Time out, guys. -Stop being judgmental all the time!

Why are you speaking on her behalf?

-You're being judgmental right now. -She's talking to her.

-No one's being judgmental, Lana. -Guys!

-Guys! -I'm talking to her.

Guys!

Come on, Rima, it's New Year's!

Stop fighting you both.

Tell her to stop.

It was a gift from him, right?

You keep going on weekend trips with him anyway.

And now you've rented a house next to his.

Trust me, he won't marry you.

Why does she need to marry him, anyway?

You can do better, Anu.

You two don't trust anybody.

You three-- In fact, all of you don't trust anybody.

We've all been there and done that.

It's you who is naive.

I just don't get this guy.

He seems obsessed with his parents.

Just use a-a-a…

-Condom. -Just one?

Are you done?

What else needs to be painted?

I-I-I'll tell you.

Come guys, it's your f-farewell!

-Come, Anu, b-before you… -Leave!

Come on. Let's go.

Fuck!

What happened?

What's wrong? Did you hurt yourself?

No, it's fine.

You're bleeding.

-Is it bad? -Yeah.

Then ask him to wash it first.

Go and wash your hands.

That's enough.

Come on. It's getting dark.

Rima di…

Oh, so it's you.

Still want to pamper this jerk?

Oh, my God!

It's you who keeps shining a laser on us every night.

Do you realize how horrible it feels?

You really think this fool would get it?

The bastard's been making our lives hell.

Give my keys back. Give them back.

Don't give them.

Give me my keys!

No, I won't. What will you do about it?

Give them back!

-Give them back. -Hey!

Get lost!

Take this, and scram.

Fucking prostitutes, all of you.

Dog!

Check if it's gone bad.

Show me.

Put it away.

Is it not good?

No, you can…

What the hell is this?

What's wrong, did you get food poisoning?

No, we're waiting for it to happen.

We'll keep you posted.

Seriously, this is inedible.

For God's sake, please cook us a nice dinner.

The mess is closed tonight.

Everyone is either partying,

or going out with their boyfriends.

You'll have to manage on your own.

Always cribbing and nitpicking.

Give me a break! Just eat it.

I'm going to punch him one of these days.

Hey, girls!

We're planning a party tonight at the nurses' hostel.

It'll be fun.

Please come.

A lot of girls from the hostel are coming.

Actually, I'm a little busy. But thank you.

Oh, no. What about you all?

Come, no?

It seems you're all busy.

It's okay, I understand. Let's go.

It is as if we plan to stay in this hotel all night.

One sec. N-New Year party?

At your place?

-Look… -You also come, yeah?

-Which one? -Anything shiny.

I can't make it.

You guys have a blast.

I have to go to Noida anyway.

Mini's got two days off.

Yeah, so bring her also?

It's New Year's Eve.

She's too young for this kind of scene.

Late-night parties, drinking, boyfriends…

Her smoking.

I'm-I'm not gonna smoke on her face!

Rima di.

Rima di.

You can go to Noida next week.

Join us tonight, please?

I'm running late. I should go.

Bye.

Buzzkill.

She didn't even eat.

Excuse me.

Yes, ma'am.

Hey, could you move aside? Just move inside a bit?

Mama.

Mama.

-Mama! -Yes, Mini?

Ice-cream!

Here.

What are we supposed to say?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Let's go.

Mama, my hairband?

Oh yes, your hairband.

Let's get you one.

This one?

-How much? -Fifty, madam.

Here you go.

Mini, your Dad's calling.

Yes, we'll be there in a minute.

My ice-cream…

Yes. Okay.

I've been calling for half an hour!

Can't you answer your phone?

We'll be stuck in traffic now.

The doctor must have left the clinic by now.

It's too early to find anything out anyway.

Dad's had enough of you staying away from home.

You better stay longer this time.

Go back after the doctor tells us.

Okay?

Come on, hop on.

I need to go back to the office, the day after, Kapil.

I won't get my bonus otherwise.

I'm not making another trip all the way here.

I am telling you.

Do whatever you want.

I'll come next week anyway.

Take Mini with you today.

Yeah, I will.

Mama…

I'll be there next Sunday, okay?

Okay?

Do as you please.

Your shoelaces are untied.

Tie them.

Rima di!

What a pleasant surprise!

Nice place.

Please sit, I'll get you some water.

Hey, is there anything I can eat?

The girls went downstairs to grab some food,

they'll be back soon.

You didn't go home?

No, Kapil had booked an appointment with the gynecologist again.

So I made up an excuse.

Good for you.

All they care about is getting a baby boy.

Don't go.

Listen, is there nothing to eat in here?

There's chocolate. Will that do?

I need to take my pill. Pass me my bag, please?

Here you go.

Rima di!

What's wrong, Rima di?

I forgot…

I sent her without it.

I'm a terrible mother.

No, no, don't say that.

Please don't cry.

I don't want to go back, Anu.

I can't bear it, please.

Please, I don't want to go there again.

No, no, you're not going anywhere.

They'll abort it again if it's a girl.

I don't want to go there, please.

You won't.

Party?

Why? Don't want me to go?

I can stay if you like.

Tell me?

-What? -I'll give Gracie some excuse.

We'll spend the evening together.

It's New Year's Eve.

Let's start afresh.

What do you say?

The year might change, but nothing can change between us.

Why are you so bitter?

Can't we sit together,

and enjoy ourselves a little?

Tell me?

We haven't talked in forever.

I still haven't asked you about your job.

You suddenly want to bond now?

You want to talk to me, party with me…

just to find out about my job?

Right? Get lost.

I don't want to talk to you.

I don't want to ruin my night.

Just go away.

If you hate me so much, why do you stay here?

Just because you get to live here rent-free?

Are you done?

Spare me your drama.

Go get drunk with your BFF.

So?

You got a problem with that?

It sure bothered you a lot when Dad used to drink, right?

He used to hit me.

I got rid of him the day he laid a hand on you.

Maybe I shouldn't have.

Maybe if you got thrashed by him, you'd value your mother more.

Maybe I should've let you die.

Babban!

Meet me behind the hostel.

-Hey, is that Amit's place? -Stop pointing!

Amit's aunt is visiting.

They have a family function today.

And you weren't invited?

His family still doesn't know about me.

Why would they invite me?

You're such a fool, I swear!

He hasn't told them, and he never will.

Mark my words.

Now that I'm here,

everything will be fine.

I'm freezing, Lana.

Give me your coat, please.

Who wanted to be all fashionable, huh? Now suffer.

Stop it.

Hey, you gonna give some?

Listen up!

-Nikki! -How much do you charge?

-That guy in the red shirt… -I’ve seen her somewhere.

-He used to visit Auntie's joint. -I've seen her before.

-Let's just go. -Don't look back!

-Which one? -The short one.

I wanted a wine cooler. Did you get it?

Yeah, I did. Your sugary wine.

I don't know how you have that shit.

Look, I rolled it just like you do.

Just leave it, Komal.

Hi, Rima.

This is for you.

Vegetarian dumplings.

I knew you'd come.

Girls! Drinks?

-Girls! -Hey!

Give me my cooler!

-It's chilled, right? -Yeah!

Opener…

Someone grab the damn opener!

Hey, sexy lady! Come, join us!

-Come on, join us. -Komal…

Come!

Hey!

Give us another twirl, come on!

Put that aside.

Careful. It's a new house.

Yes?

Sorry for barging in like this, didn't mean to disturb you.

My friend here…

You're Sunny, right?

-Oh, hi! -Hey!

Lana, this is Sunny, my landlord's son.

Dad didn't mention anything about handing the flat over to you.

You see, we also had plans to party here.

But Sunny, you were with Uncle that day

when he handed me the keys, remember?

-It was Saturday, no… -Seriously, Anu?

H-h-how…

d-d-does it matter?

We're here now.

T-t-they…

-T-t-they… -Don't bother.

The year will end before you end your sentence.

Look, you guys are having a party here, right?

We wanna party too.

Let's all party together.

This is Manu and that's Kundan. Come on, guys.

Hey, Manu, Kundan, we don't care!

-Please get out! -How is she talking to us?

Relax, Lana…

-They have to leave, Anu. Now! -Calm down.

-Calm down, Lana. -This is our place.

We're attracting attention. Keep it down.

We just gave the keys, okay?

The lease isn't signed yet.

This is my flat and I'm not going anywhere.

What's up, Komal?

You got another "client" visiting?

-What are you saying? -Komal?

Do you know him?

You left Auntie's joint?!

-Leave her alone! -Don't touch me!

-Stay back! -Stay back!

What are they doing? This is your house, right?

Watch your tone, okay?

Who do you think you are? This is my house!

What's happening?

-What's going on here? -Uncle…

Uncle, they just barged in.

Uncle, let me explain.

This girl here… is a lady of the night.

-You get it? -And how do you know that, huh?

Because you used to steal money from your dad

and come to bore me every afternoon!

-"I can't handle math!" -No, listen to me.

Don't make me talk, Ball-sack Newton!

Hold on! Listen.

I wanted to rent this flat to a family, alright?

Who is she?

Uncle, she's my friend.

She's an air hostess.

-I told you I work at a hospital. -Well…

-You can ask anyone, Uncle. -You…

I want you to leave this house immediately.

Come on. Leave now.

Get out. Get out!

-Uncle… -Come on, please leave.

Where will we go at this time?

I'll call the cops.

Just leave quietly. Get out.

Let's go.

Damn, assholes!

They had to ruin our party!

-Freaking dog! -Shut up, Komal.

We need to have a talk with you later.

Let's just leave now.

Tell me one thing, Anu.

You didn't tell that asshole landlord about me, did you?

-I did, Lana-- -No, you did not!

He was staring at me like I was an alien!

You should've told him my full name!

Is it empty?

-Yes. Where do you want to go? -Katwaria Sarai.

-Get in. -Let's go.

You guys go ahead. I'll join you in a bit.

What are you going to do here now?

I'll see you soon.

Amit will drop me back.

You don't get it, Anu.

You really don't get it.

Stay safe.

Where were you?

-I've been calling you since forever! -Hold on, Anu.

First, tell me,

how could you move into my apartment complex

without even telling me?

You think this is a joke?

You were right there, Amit.

You could have defended me.

What will my friends think?

Friends!

These friends?

You know even my parents, their guests,

even the neighbors now know…

One of your friends was a prostitute, right?

What will my family think?

What your family thinks,

and how they feel, is so important.

Are you ever going to introduce me to them?

Amit, you had a family function and you didn't even invite me!

Why?

What function was this?

Actually, Anu, I was going to tell you…

Oh shit!

Aunt, cousins…

It was all a lie.

It was your engagement, wasn't it?

Am I right?

Move your ass, Nikki.

You're s-sitting on me, Komal.

Amazing, Komal.

You never told us how famous you are!

Let it go, Rima.

Why should I let it go?

Why should we "let go" now? They "let go" of us!

Stop it!

-Stop it! Stop it! Shut up. -Enough, girls…

I have five daughters, you know.

All of them are married.

And they still fight like crazy over little things!

Hey, what's this?

-Stop it! -What happened, Uncle?

Get out of my vehicle. Right now!

Stop smoking, Nikki!

No respect for your elders!

Get out! Get out now!

Can this d-day get any m-more fucked?

Just when we thought it couldn't get worse.

What the…

Assholes.

Come on, bro! It's freezing out here. Let's go.

Let's bounce, man.

What say, Babban?

Shall we pick someone up tonight?

We could have fun all night long!

Are you dying to go back to prison?

When did you become so scared?

You've experienced it all a bunch of times there, haven’t you?

Wait till your mom shoves a stick up your ass.

She's probably at the hostel,

getting wasted with the warden.

She'll come home and bark the same nonsense.

"Look at those hostel girls!

They work for a living."

Fucking prostitutes, all of them!

Let's fuck one of them tonight.

You can stay if you want, I'm off.

-Babban, stay. Babban… -Fuck off, dickhead!

-Babban, stay. -Get lost.

Don't you show me your fucking face again, asshole!

I'll rip you a new one!

Bloody dickhead!

MOM

Yeah, Lana,

I'm at the gate.

You guys go ahead and get started.

Yeah, okay.

Okay.

Where are you headed?

Come here, let me show you a good time.

Why do you keep barking from behind the wall every day?

You aren't all that ugly, you know.

Are you too scared to show your face?

Feeling all hot and bothered, are we?

Hot, cold… I'm feeling it all.

Why don't you come and cool me down?

Come on inside.

What happened?

Come on, hurry up!

Why did you stop?

Scared of the guard?

Stay within your limits next time!

I hate this city.

I fucking hate this city!

-I can't believe I'm back here. -Hotel Cal-California…

-This is the bloody limit! -What happened?

That idiot was out there again shining his laser at me!

I put him in his place!

I straight up told him,

the guard's not around, the gate is wide open.

Come inside if you dare!

But he didn't have the guts.

Pathetic little mosquito!

-The guard wasn't there? -No.

Seriously?

The gate was open?

I'll g-go tell him.

Anyway, I-I need a new ciggy.

-I'm so done with men! -Grab a beer. Chill.

Cheers!

Hey!

W-where do you think you're going?

Fucking bitch! Think you can boss me around?

You?

You still don't get it?

How dare you come in here!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey! Let her go!

-No, no, no! -Let go of her!

Hey!

Let her go!

-Are you crazy?! -Let her go.

Hey!

I said, let her go!

Komal!

-Lana! -Lana!

Rima, call the guard.

You prostitute! I'm gonna…

Anu!

Let go! Let her go!

-Let go. -Scram!

Bitch, I’ll show you!

Guard!

Anu!

Guard! Guard!

Guard!

Let go!

Guard!

Enough, Nikki.

Nikki!

I'll go call the guard.

Prostitutes!

How long will you hide in this hostel?

Eventually you will get out to get fucked in the ass!

Fucking hell!

If I don't shove a rod up yours

and spill your guts out…

I'll marry a prostitute's daughter!

Fucking prostitutes, all of you!

Come on!

Hit me!

What did you say?

What will you do with the rod?

What did you say you'll do?

Everyone knows what happened with the fucking rod!

All of you will meet the same fate!

He's dead.

He's dead!

He's dead!

He's dead!

The warden is back!

Is he sleeping on duty again?

Always blasting music on his damn headphones!

Yeah, keep honking!

Just keep honking!

They're all useless!

Hey…

What's that fire on the terrace?

His mom's calling…

MOM

The cop.

Bonfire!

They're having a party up there!

How dare they!

Get him out.

Get him out.

We have to get him out of here.

Come on! We need to take him away!

Hurry up! Lana, please!

Lana, please!

Hurry up, Nikki.

I can't even look at him.

Nikki, get your shit together.

What the fuck have we done!

Shut up, Nikki.

-Where should we take him? -Anu's room.

Hey! Hey, girl!

Lana.

Let me go check out

what the hell they've done up there!

I'm coming, you keep going.

Yeah, hurry up.

Where?

Let's get him inside A-Anu's room.

Go-go-go. Wait, wait. Sorry.

These girls are out--

Hey! What's going on in there?

-Why did you shut the door? -They're coming this way.

-We need to do something, Nikki. -I-I can't b-believe we're doing this.

We must hide the body, guys.

-I'm putting each one of you in jail! -Ma'am.

Hey, come over here.

-Ma'am, please hear me out. -Come here.

Why did you start a fire, huh?

Hurry up, guys.

Did you have the permission for it?

-Gracie! -Ma'am…

These girls of yours are out of control!

Ma'am…

Hurry up.

-Hurry up. -Mom.

Mom…

I'll put out the damn fire. Gracie, you go deal with them.

-I'll go and put out the fire. -Ma'am, please.

-Let it go. -I don't wanna hear a thing.

-Sorry, ma'am. -You think you can do anything.

-Ma'am. -You girls do whatever you want!

That old fart is totally wasted, blasting music with his headphones on.

He's definitely losing his job tonight!

-Ma'am… -Open the door!

-Hurry up! -Open up, dammit!

Did you plan to set yourselves and this hostel on fire?

-Please, ma'am… -Open the door!

Ma'am, please…

Open the door or I'll bust it open!

What's going on in there?

Why the hell won't you open the door?

What's going on here?

What's going on?

Ma'am, we threw a farewell party for Anu.

Her useless boyfriend broke up with her.

That terrible landlord, he…

You girls think Gracie ma'am is a fool.

She'll believe anything you say.

Ma'am, the landlord kicked her out.

We ended up brawling with a bunch of boys.

What movie's story are you telling me, huh?

Breakups, boys, landlords, and shit!

Look at our faces, ma'am!

Look at the bruises they left on us.

So you decided to set the hostel on fire?

-Ma'am… -Don't you have anything better to do?!

-Sorry, ma'am. -You think they can do anything.

I don't want your damn sorry.

-I'm sorry. -I don't give a damn.

Sorry, ma'am.

They say they're sorry!

Turn off the lights and go to sleep!

Get out of my way!

Bloody idiots, all of them!

No sense of safety or responsibility.

Oh shit!

Oh shit!

Oh shit!

Fuck!

Hold him.

Careful…

Fuck!

Help me meet my son just once.

Just once, that's all I ask.

Please, sir.

I don't have much time left.

Where is that girl?

Put her bags in the trunk. I'll be back in a minute.

Okay, madam.

Why are you going, Anu?

Why?

Lana…

I'm not as strong as you.

I know you'll take care of everyone.

No!

I don't care!

I don't care about them.

I don't care about anyone.

No, Lana, that's not true.

I have seen it…

If I stay here,

it won't be good for anyone.

That's not true.

We'll take care of you.

I will take care of you.

Please stay.

-Please don't go. -Can’t you see?!

Can’t you see what I have become!

He won't spare me.

Stop it, Anu.

Don't you ever talk about that.

Every night…

Every night, it haunts me.

I can't tolerate it anymore. Lana, please.

I can't do it anymore. I want to leave.

I can't stay here. Lana, please.

Please.

Anu…

I want to leave, Lana. I want to get out of here.

I can't stay here anymore.

Shall we go?

Don't kill yourself over one heartbreak.

You're still young.

Boys will come and go by the dozen.

Now go home.

Take a break and rest. And come back when you feel better.

That room will always be yours.

Alright?

How did the bag fall out?

I had locked the trunk.

-Hold on… -Ma'am, don't stop here, please.

Stay here. I'll go check.

-Ma'am, please, let's go… -I'll go grab the bag.

Stay put.

Go back!

Anu!

Where are you running off to? Get back in the car!

Come back, now!

Anu!

The damn lights!

What the hell…

Again?

Madhu. Take your meds, please.

No.

Madhu, please.

"Madhu, please. Madhu, please!"

Are you capable of anything at all?

What?

Those guys just grabbed me and took me away.

Did you do anything?

What was I supposed to do?

Let you go to jail?

Their corpses were found in such a brutal state…

How did you even do it?

-What's up with you? -You couldn't do a thing.

So I had to do it.

Stop this nonsense!

Just thinking about it is driving me crazy!

I'm the one who's crazy…

For wasting my time with you!

Who do you think you are?

Look at your house.

What's the point of pumping iron at the gym?

You just stood there and did nothing!

Quit bulking up and grow a pair instead!

Does this make you feel like a man?

Bloody wimp!

Stop it, Madhu.

Please stop this, Madhu. That's enough.

Please.

Madhu, come on, that's enough.

Please stop it.

Arun!

Please, please, I want to go back.

We'll leave.

-Take me back, please. -Yeah, we'll go.

I don't want to be here.

Let's go see Dr. Shohini, alright?

We should go there.

She'll help us. Let's go see her, Madhu.

No…

Where do you want to go, then?

Hostel.

Why the hostel?

Because they're there.

Who?

The three of them!

They've kept me there.

Annie! Annie!

Here.

Get inside.

Take my bag too.

Why?

Rima is not feeling well.

-I can't leave. -Tell her, she can't keep doing this.

Don't worry, it's just one night.

Tell Rima, that enough is enough.

This is her last night in the hostel.

See you later. Take care, okay?

-Take care. -Yeah, yeah, yeah. I will.

Bye.

Goodness! It's been pouring buckets.

Doesn't look like it's going to stop.

Come on, hurry up!

Stop bugging me and mind your own business.

-Yeah, whatever. -Trust me, Ma'am,

no bus is going to come in this rain.

Tell all the girls to leave.

They can ask their boyfriends or girlfriends to pick them up.

Firstly, tell the guard to open the storeroom

-at the back. -I already did.

Over there.

Ma'am, where do I dump this?

Just follow him.

-Follow him? -I will check on the girls still here.

Everyone's gone, except those girls upstairs.

Great! A power cut.

Is the generator not working?

I already told you,

the generator only works in two sections.

The area in front and the third floor. I've told you a zillion times!

Check the storeroom.

Emergency lights, flashlights… Grab whatever you find.

Alright, ma'am.

What's the point of living like this?

I've had enough.

I'll go first.

Lana!

What the hell are you girls up to?

Get back inside!

You can't leave!

Di…

-Lana! -Lana!

Rima di?

-Rima! -Didi?

Lana?

Your baby is coming Rima.

Your baby is coming.

I'm not going anywhere, Rima.

-Your baby is coming. -We're not leaving.

We're not leaving.

We're not going anywhere.

Get up… Please! Come on, Rima di. Get up.

-We need to lift her. -Okay.

Come. One, two, three, lift!

Done, done, done.

Okay… Breathe, breathe.

Give me a bedsheet.

Don't worry, just breathe.

Breathe.

Will this do?

Rima di…

No problem.

-Rima. -Deep breaths.

Rima, for an epidural, you have to wait for help, okay?

Okay? Okay?

Till then, just breathe. Okay?

Just breathe. I'm here.

I'm here. Okay?

-Sarla, please… -I'll go get a cold compress.

-You guys stay with her. -Yeah, yeah.

Just breathe. I'm here. I will just come back.

Komal, call the warden again. What's causing the delay?

She needs help now!

I tried her number but couldn't get through.

Madhu?

Are you okay?

Madhu?

I'll go check.

Sarla?

Sarla, what happened?!

Komal, shut the door!

You bitch!

No!

Let me go!

Let me go!

Help!

Help!

Svetlana, what happened?

Madhu!

-Get lost! -Madhu di! Let go, Madhu di.

-No, Madhu. -Relax, relax!

Take it easy!

Calm down, Madhu.

Sarla?

Sarla…

Come on.

Grab her legs!

-Madhu! -Grab them!

-Come on, grab her! -Madhu!

Madhu!

Madhu!

Madhu!

Madhu!

Take it easy, girl.

Calm down, Madhu.

Do something, ma'am. I've no idea what's wrong with her.

Stop it.

I'll call Dr. Shohini.

-Maybe she can help us. -Do something.

Yeah, one second.

-Lift your legs. Lift your legs. -Be careful.

-Lift your legs. Don't worry, okay? -Rajesh.

Rajesh, once you're at the hospital,

make sure to send someone over here to help Rima, okay?

-Yeah, yeah, okay. Don't worry. -Get in.

Sarla… Sarla, they'll take you to the hospital, okay?

-Let me close the door. -Keep in touch.

Guard! Leave now and drive safely.

-It's pouring like crazy. -Yeah, yeah.

Go check the generator, quick! Go.

Madhu… She's back.

Just like you predicted.

She's back.

Where is she?

In her room.

They've tied her to her bed.

She's becoming violent.

What should I do now?

Nothing.

Jeeva will take control of her.

Give her the poison.

Once Jeeva has possessed her,

I shall come there.

To take him away.

Let me go.

Please let me go.

Let me go, please!

-Do it. -No…

-What are you doing, Lana? Come on! -No…

Prostitute!

I've seen your dreams.

I've been inside your head.

Get her.

Hey!

In the lab, Nakul.

Hold her.

I know what you want!

Revenge…

Take your revenge!

I've never met you, I've never stalked you…

And I've never assaulted you.

Stop fighting me and come along with me.

I need some light here, please.

Get the torch.

Push, Rima.

I see something. Rima, push, I see something.

It's the baby's head! Rima, push.

-Rima, push, please! -One big push, Rima di!

-Come on Rima. -Breathe, breathe, and push, Rima…

-Rima di, please. -Please push!

It's no use sending an ambulance.

I told you, we need someone to come over here.

We can't get her to the hospital.

Hello?

Sir?

You brought Jeeva in to work here last December, right?

Yes.

Why?

That's probably when he met those girls.

Let it go, Ilu.

Rima is upstairs having a baby,

and no one is willing to come over here.

Good.

Let her suffer and yearn for her child's face forever.

Those girls killed my son.

You knew it, that's why you gave them your car keys.

I didn't know.

We were together that night,

don't you remember?

What are these girls carrying outside?

I can't even remember my way home after two drinks, right?

You knew everything,

and I kept searching for him like an idiot.

No, I had no idea.

Believe it or not.

All I knew…

was that Jeeva used to harass girls in the back-alley.

I never imagined things would go this far.

Trust me, Ilu.

Please.

You're my friend.

He harassed them?

These bloody girls can't stand up for themselves

against their fathers, brothers, bosses, or boyfriends…

but they had a problem with my son?

Each one of them will pay for it.

Is Warden ma'am with you?

Rima… she's in a lot of pain.

We called the doctor, there's no--

You are all going to die.

Jeeva?

Jeeva!

Mishra!

Mishra!

How dare you!

Jeeva…

Jeeva, let her go.

Jeeva!

You have felt my presence…

Jeeva?

You have felt my presence…

You know me.

Stop fighting me,

and come along with me.

You are nothing without me.

Did you think…

that was you?

It was me.

Does this make you feel like a man?

Bloody wimp!

They've kept me there.

Stop fighting it.

Come with me.

I'll be with you always… Till the end.

I promise.

Madhu?

Madhu?

Madhu?

Jeeva…

Jeeva?

Jeeva…

Jeeva.

It's a girl!

What happened here?

Madam?

-Lana… -Go back!

No, Lana. Please…

Please let me go.

-Trust me. It wasn't me. -Go back!

No, Lana! Please, no.

Please let me go.

Please let me go.

Lana, please!

No! Please, let me go!

He's not controlling me anymore!

He's not here. Please.

You will come back!

You'll come back to kill us, right?

Lana, I'll never come back.

I'll never come back.

I'll leave this hostel for good.

Please let me go.

Let her go.

Leave, Madhu!

Never come back!

Don't worry, I won't let him harm you.

Go back!

We don't need you! Go back!

Go away!

Go away!

No!

Go back, you prostitute!

Go back!

What happened?

What happened, Lana?

You cannot stay in there anymore.

Are you sure you'll be safe outside?

We're safe now, ma'am.

You'll be okay?

Excuse me, ma'am?

-When can I get their statement? -How many times must I repeat myself?

He was a serial killer.

If these girls hadn't killed him, he'd have killed them all.

The entire Delhi Police was looking for him, right?

Ma'am, with all this bloodshed, we need a statement.

These girls aren't running away anywhere.

Just give them some time! They've been through a lot.

Madhu…

Are you okay?

Shall we go?

Come, it's time.

She's beautiful.

So beautiful.

Mini…

You're so beautiful!

-Wow! -Wow, Mini!

One more time!

Wow!

Did you see your sister?

No, you're sleeping.

-Hello! -Hello.

Hi.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

What?

I said, where did you go?

Sir I… I've already told you.

My friends went ahead with their plans…

Since my father wasn't well,

I went home. That's it.

I'm telling you…

Tell them about that crazy bitch.

She was stalking him.

She went to his office, then to his house.

Why aren't you saying anything?

Stalking, as in?

She was following him relentlessly!

Everywhere!

-Bela, can we-- -No! No please, you let me. Sir…

There's this girl who lived at that hostel.

And she thought that…

She… She was mad.

She is mad! She's completely mad!

I'm absolutely certain that

she and her boyfriend are involved in this.

Because they think that…

They're after Nakul's life!

-Stop… Bela, stop! -They're crazy!

Hello?

Yeah.

Yes, yes, I'm fine.

I said I'm fine.

Yeah. No.

No, no.

I don't want to come down!

Stop bugging me! I've had enough!

Yes.

And please don't call me!

Stupid woman.

He is not coming.

-Calm down… -I called him, but he's not coming.

Everybody is looking at us--

Nakul!

No friends to protect you,

no mask to hide behind,

just you, all alone.

You turned out to be quite a coward.

And I, even after consuming all the venom,

am ready for you.
