Whose name was on it, and who sent it?

It was Shekhar, a journalist.

I used to know him.

He wasn't like you.

Bastard was actually honest!

What I meant to say is, he was pretty honest, but very naive.

Always going up against the wrong people.

Okay, now tell me, what's in the box?

Nothing. There's this… DDK company. It's their hard drive.

DDK Private Limited?

Baby,

what if this is about the big scam?

Come on, let's uncover it together.

Yeah, let's uncover this together!

Look, baby, if you want to uncover stuff, there are other things to uncover.

H-hey, my… Darling!

Come on, babe, please don't sulk.

I don't want you to get involved in these things.

You can't stop a journalist from getting involved in a story.

Okay.

And here we are. At your office.

Bring the hard drive tonight, okay? We'll take a look at DDK's balance sheet.

Baby…

You know my drive always stays hard.

Oh, really?

-Okay. -Really.

You have lipstick on your cheek. Are you working or screwing around?

What happened? Can't see it?

You'll see it tonight.

Nice.

My señorita!

I've made a pan-fried margherita for you.

You have to try it and tell me if the cheese is okay, should I put more--

-Baby, this is big! -What is big?

These are the yearly reports of DDK Private Limited

and Delta Pharma's internal audits!

Guess who DDK is a front company for.

-Telecom Minister Sumer Raina. -Yes!

The money from Bellturn operations is being re-routed to Delta Pharma.

-In dollars! Do you know what that means? -Hmm?

It means it's a multi-million dollar scam!

We've caught a big fish, baby!

Come on, babe! All this talk about big fish is too overdramatic.

You sound like my dad--

So, then why don't you go and tell Vishwanath… that you've hit the jackpot!

We started out with an ordinary murder,

and now we're going to expose a 20 billion rupee scam.

-Hmm… -But I can't do it alone.

I have to call my financial affairs editor, Subbu.

Will you help me find my phone?

-I've been looking around for it-- -B-B-B… Baby!

No Subbu! What Subbu?

See, I just wanted to know

if there was porn or data on it. Now I know.

So now my baby will eat the pizza with me, Buongiorno.

-Now, baby, we'll go there… -Yes, we will…

…and we'll have the pizza.

Come on now, Señorita.

Look at the pizza. Both our pizzas are ready.

-Vikram, you're not listening to me, man. -You're…

What do you mean, not listening to you?

First, I made lunch for you, then this pizza for you,

am I your servant or something?

Vikram, what is this way of talking to me?

How am I talking to you? You've been nagging about this all day.

Yeah, because it benefits the both of us, okay?

I don't want such benefits.

-And that's final. -What do you mean "final"?

Are you my boss?

I'm not your boss.

I care for you.

The guy who left that box? Shekhar?

Someone bumped him off.

Do you want to die?

Tell me! Do you?

Thinks she's some pen-wielding warrior.

Hey, listen, let's have dinner.

I don't want to do this story anymore. To hell with the scam.

Papa's waiting at home.

And you know what he's like.

So melodramatic.

I'm just as dramatic.

Bye!

Oh, damn!

Who are you?

Vikram!

Vikram!

-Let's go! Let's get out of here! -Hey, stop!

Hey, stop!

Kavita!

Hey! Hey…

Kavita!

Kavita!

K… Kavita!

Kavita!

Hello, Vikram.

I'm so glad you called today.

Kavita's heartbeat increased just this morning.

She must've been thinking of you.

-Right. -Here you go. Speak to Kavita.

Kavita, look who's on the phone.

It's your Vikram.

He has quite a beard now. Look at him.

Everyone, move back. Let the car through.

Make way for the body!

Go back, go back, go back. Hey, you! Are you deaf?

Now our holy Charandaspur will be famous for these gruesome murders.

What the hell are the police doing?

This is where I found Kalindi's headless body.

After he hit his head on the edge of the stone altar…

Mr. Shastri…

Mr. Shastri!

Poor Mr. Shastri's prediction came true after all.

This room has a very strange smell.

It's the same smell as the one coming from where Sujay and Vijay were murdered.

This is the source of that smell.

The smoke from these tablets paralyses the killer's targets.

Can I have a look?

You said you have some information.

When Mr. Shastri mentioned Jimmy Khan's name in the police station,

I thought I should check him out thoroughly. And I was right.

Jimmy Khan gave me a lot of vital information… about this case.

All the murders so far… are taking place… according to a pattern. Here.

Here is the pattern to all these murders.

Based on the…

symbols of the mandala.

The Aayast Mandala.

Jimmy Khan told me that his grandfather knew about this.

He had made some notes about the previous murders in his diary.

And the symbols that he had noted down…

are the very symbols Jimmy Khan decoded to predict the shaunak's death.

He also said that… there are going to be five more murders like this.

Ma'am?

Coming.

All the clocks in the house have stopped.

-The ones inside and outside. -I know.

This is Shastri's cupboard.

And this is Kalindi's.

I searched both of them but couldn't find anything.

Torch.

This cupboard's attached to the wall.

There's a nail there.

Do all the houses here have this?

There's no such… tradition that I know of.

This looks worn out.

It's hollow.

It's just like Jimmy Khan said.

"Eight sections with eight symbols."

You found all these items in Kalindi's cupboard?

Hmm.

This means that she wasn't just the wife of a guru.

She was the guru herself.

She was…

the shaunak.

Then Mr. Shastri's death?

Kaivalya Shastri was right.

His death was inevitable.

He hit his head on the stone altar, right?

Yeah.

I think Kalindi put something in his tea.

But this Kalindi's death appears less like a murder and more like a ritual.

You mean sacrifice, right?

Right.

I guess.

Because when I got there, she was…

sitting in a position as if she was meditating.

You mean…

Kalindi knew that someone was going to come and kill her?

Right.

So, 70 years ago, your grandfather investigated a number of such murders.

No, 73 years ago.

And his notes contained all the symbols, out of which there are only three left.

And the same symbols are on these… metal discs.

We have the symbols. We just have to decode them.

And the key to decoding all of them

is to treat each symbol of the mandala

as a bivalent equation.

By bivalent equation, I mean a dual-value equation.

Now, once we figure out both values in this equation,

then decoding these symbols becomes very easy.

Now the symbol in the first section is…

-"The torso of a… watcher." -Watcher.

-What's a watcher? -Um…

not watcher, I meant "voyeur".

Abhishek was a photographer, so he can be called a voyeur.

-Right, Guruji? -Right.

What's in the next one? The limbs of Shumbh and his sibling, Nishumbh.

The Arms of the demon brothers.

That is the Yadav brothers.

Uh… right.

We had found a sketch… of a machine in your diary.

What can you tell us about that?

Only that it's an… ancient machine that is connected to energy.

Going by what Birju said, the machine is being used to grant boons.

You put a coin in the machine, your thumb is cut off, and your boon is granted.

The coin your mother had is exactly like the one we found with Birju.

Say we believe Birju's statement…

Then Vikram…

your mother asked for a boon too.

Yeah, that's possible.

The night my mother disappeared, my little brother met with an accident.

He was seriously injured.

Did he survive?

No.

Well, the Yadav brothers sent Birju to ask for a boon on their behalf.

-They didn't survive either. -Did Kalindi also ask for a boon…? No!

She died too.

But her thumb was intact.

Okay. So, here's what we're going to do.

-Mr. Khan, you-- -Sorry?

Jimmy.

Thank you.

You decode the remaining symbols.

I'll just go and meet the first victim, Abhishek Sahay's wife.

And one more thing.

You didn't get these from me.

Hello, Phantom?

-Ever heard of cholesterol? -What the hell is that?

Hmm…

And with this? The cholesterol comes out of the body.

Listen, Mandrake,

the people of Charandaspur get their nutrition…

mainly from these snacks.

You've become a Delhi guy. Forgotten everything. Huh!

Anyway. Now, tell me, what do you want?

-You're not supposed to eat it. -Hey!

I'm not. I'm just smelling it.

The killer burns these tablets using the smoke to paralyse the victims,

and then murders them.

Fucker, you're stealing evidence from the crime scene.

Smartass!

We need to know where these tablets come from.

I'll go searching beyond Vaishali Nagar. You can search in the areas nearby.

If we brothers work together, this will go a lot faster.

And if you find anything, first, give me a heads up, okay?

-You have this in stock? -No.

At least open the packet, don't just say no.

We don't sell these things, mister.

I have no idea. Why don't you ask those herbal remedy stores?

Doctor,

-have you seen this, uh, tablet before? -No.

You pyromaniac, don't light it up, man.

If I don't burn it, how will I know what it's made of? Tell me.

You've been rubbing it and smelling it. What did you find?

What is it? What is it used for?

If you don't know what it is, why pick it up? Give it back.

It looks like some strange chemical or herbal kind of pill. What does it do?

The body gets numb.

You want to get numb?

Sir, I have some amazing stuff to make you numb.

You only have to take one, and you'll be out for two days.

You want it?

Typical Charandaspur man!

One part work, nine parts bullshit!

Royal family…

Royal prince…

Royal princess?

But which part of the princess?

Her face.

That's it!

The face of a royal… princess.

You see this?

The first part of the symbol indicates she is a princess.

And the second part clearly depicts her countenance and her beauty.

This is the kind of girl… who belongs to a… rich noble family.

The face of a princess…

Guruji, we know that there still are a few royal families

left near and around Charandaspur.

That's right, but where do we start looking?

Madam, Tanihara by 4:00, Sarfa by 6:00 and Dharampura by 7:30.

-And? -And that's it.

Just three villages won't be enough.

We'll stop for the night at Mr. Khan's place in Gaganpura.

Then the next day,

we'll visit all the nearby villages. Got that?

Yeah. I got that.

But, uh… have you seen this, madam?

If Jairaj sir swings this miracle, madam,

then the party will have to hand him the ticket.

I don't want any security.

No security, madam?

I want people to feel like I'm one of them.

But one thing I now understand

is that… what Mr. Bharadwaj and his daughter Ananya

have done for Charandaspur…

is more than…

…what anyone else could've accomplished.

Mr. Bharadwaj…

-during his time… -Hello? Where are you?

Exactly where a politician should be.

Among her people.

Let me talk to your security chief.

Security? There's no security here.

What?

But the killer's next target will be a princess or some royalty.

Well, I'm not a princess from some great dynasty.

No, it's just…

Kavita had mentioned that someone on your mother's side belonged to royalty.

You've always been very good at doing your homework.

But don't worry.

Everything's under control here.

-I'm hanging up. -Hey Ananya, don't take this so lightly.

You could lose your life.

If you are so worried about me, why not come here yourself?

It's not that far.

I'll send you my location.

Shivna, I went to your home.

Then I heard you'd moved back with your mother.

What can you tell me about Abhishek?

Total scumbag womaniser.

Always screwing around with one girl or another.

In fact, some time ago,

he started a steamy affair with a… a married woman.

And her husband caught both of them red-handed.

Now the husband turned out to be a police officer.

That man took an oath

that he'd kill Abhishek in a fake shootout.

Abhishek was so petrified, he went into hiding for a week.

And then one day, we suddenly heard the news…

that the police officer was killed in an… accident.

-Madam, when… Abhishek returned home… -Hmm…

I saw that…

one of his thumbs was totally chopped off.

And when he walked, there was a spring in his step.

He kept saying that, "God has granted me a boon.

Now, all my enemies will die."

And then…

he went back to his womanising and extra-marital affairs

just like before.

Abhishek had an identical coin. Do you have it with you right now?

Here… He had this coin hidden behind these photographs.

Kalindi?

Do you know where this place is?

-Hey, Sadhan… -Hmm?

Have you seen this before?

What do you think?

I've never seen this before.

You can check in the big stores--

Oh, I've checked all the stores in this town.

Yours was the only one left.

Here's an idea.

About 15 kilometres up the highway, there's a very big pharmacy.

If they can't tell you what this is, no one else can.

Good luck.

What has Mandrake got me into? Fuck! I'm gonna lose my mind!

-What kind of leader do we want? -Ananya Bharadwaj is who we want!

-What kind of leader do we want? -Ananya Bharadwaj is who we want!

-What kind of leader do we want? -Ananya Bharadwaj is who we want!

-Ananya Bharadwaj! -Long live! Long live!

-Ananya Bharadwaj! -Long live! Long live!

-Ananya Bharadwaj! -Long live! Long live!

-Vote for… -Ananya Bharadwaj!

-Vote for… -Ananya Bharadwaj!

Salaam, Uncle.

Walaikum assalam, son.

Salaam, Uncle. How are you doing?

Salaam, Salaam, my child, I'm doing well.

-Tell me, dear, how have you been? -Very well, Uncle.

What a coincidence!

We just happened to have cooked your favourite biryani today.

Oh, wow, Uncle!

Uncle, I've brought along a very good friend with me. Vikram Singh.

-Salaam alaikum. -Khushamdeed, son.

Uncle, the guest room downstairs…? Prepare that for him.

-Of course. -Um… Khan Uncle.

Um… uh… isn't, uh… Junaid's room empty upstairs?

-Yes, that's right. Alright, dear. -Please, prepare that one instead.

Come in, come in. Khushamdeed.

Come in.

Do you remember the first time we met?

Eight years ago, in Delhi.

Your father was the chief guest…

at this… cricket match.

I was in charge of the security there.

Wow!

And here I thought I must be the only one with such a clear memory of that day.

I don't know why, but…

there are some things that you never forget.

Yeah, you're right.

Dad was General Secretary of the ruling party,

and you were put in charge of my security.

We were going somewhere by car when…

suddenly you received a call saying

that Uncle Vishwanath had been hospitalised.

I was sitting in the front seat in complete panic,

when suddenly you asked for the car to be turned around

and without any questions, dropped me off at the hospital.

When you got out of the car, I saw your face….

Your eyes were shimmering with tears.

You may have wanted to thank me that day.

But instead, you apologised.

I don't remember this at all.

I don't know why…

but some things you just don't forget.

You met me before you met Kavita, right?

I met you four years before I met Kavita.

What a coincidence!

And I totally fell for you that day.

This feels right, doesn't it?

Sorry.

Ananya?

Ananya…

-Ananya, I'll kill you today. -Hey!

Leave me!

-Bunty, you fucker! -Get the fuck away from me.

Leave!

Ananya! Bitch, I'll fucking kill you today!

Ananya, are you okay?

I'll fucking kill you, Ananya.

Hey. Leave me…

Mandrake, you asshole, what have you got me into?

Firstly, I don't understand this goddamned global warming.

Rains in the summer and heatwave in the monsoon.

"Monalisa Courier."

It's even spelt wrong.

I asked for a drug store, this looks like a beauty parlour.

The eye is open, the door is closed. Huh?

Holy shit! There's someone in there.

Monalisa giving a Thai massage at midnight?

Hey, hello, Monalisa!

Could you please give me a Thai massage?

Oh, shit, they turned the lights off.

So, you want to play hardball?

First, I'll break your lock, then I'll break your…

He came here to avenge the death of his brothers.

He's not the one you're looking for.

But…

if you're not the royal princess, then who is?

Sahni's bike?

Mallik, I've reached Monalisa Curio. Get here quickly with the team.

MARITIMA

Who's there?

Sahni? Sahni!

Sahni!

Where's Pramod?

Mallik…

You know, when I heard about your suspension, I was so happy!

Asshole, what are you so happy about?

Because it got Phantom and Mandrake together again.

Phantom!

Phantom!

Bro, your house was the only house that… felt like my own home to me.

We'll put our heart and soul into finding Vasudha Aunty.

Both of us will find her, man.

This tablet was found in Pramod's pocket.

It's the same tablet we found at Mr. Shastri's.

Pramod did a good job finding this place.

But the question is, why the hell did he come here alone?

First, the head of the shaunak…

And now the face of the princess.

But then, who is this princess?
