Original subtitles

Hey!

Hurry! Hurry!

The scoundrel!

I'll be damned!

Constables! - Yes.

Nab all of them. Don't let anyone get away. Nab the scumbags!

Let's go!

Hey! Get up! Get up!

Come on! Let's go! - What's the matter?

Let's go! Come on!

You know that the young Officers don't believe in paper work..

..but they produce results.

This system runs on protocol, not results..

..and your Abhay Singh has turned it into a joke.

Sir. - Abhay Pratap Singh.

90 percent success rate.

You can go to any lengths to catch a criminal.

I simply carry out my duty, sir.

And what is the meaning of duty according to you?

That which is promised to the leaders on August 15th.

Crime-free Uttar Pradesh.

That is not going to happen by being hospitable to criminals, sir.

Hold on. I wish to speak with you.

The two of them are pretty close.

Have you lost your mind?

After this racket Srivastav has made you the target.

What racket?

'It is said that the Police is for our protection..

..but here the defenders are the antagonists.'

'You can see how this Police Officer is misusing his power..

..to mercilessly beat this poor man.'

Why is the Home Ministry interested in this?

You publicly left an innocent civilian half dead in the street.

Sir, you gave your verdict on seeing a 30 second video.

What one sees is what sells.

The entire media has sold you as a manic power hungry Officer.

Look. If you don't have thorough justification..

..then this matter will go way beyond right and wrong.

Incidentally, who was that chap?

'Coming up on our defender turned antagonist is..

..how a Senior Police Officer used his years of training..

..to batter a poor and helpless youth.

Hey! This is a grave sin.

You will turn to dust! Death! Death!

Nobody will be there. Your spirit will never be united with the Lord.

Shut up, pervert!

Stand straight or I will unite your anatomy together. Get that? Silence!

You drink hooch and pick on our brains.

Open up! Open up!

Hey! What are you doing? Drunkard!

Get your hand out of there. Get your hand out.

What is going on? What have you guys done?

What have you done, you slimeball!

Sir.

Sir, all the names you have on your file are history sheeters.

Now if you are enquiring..

..as to how we missed catching these rapists and murderers..

..then we have no answer for that.

Do you know what the problem is with passionate and fearless Officers is?

You think you are doing a favor to the system by catching criminals.

But that's your job. - I understand, sir.

Even you are simply doing your job at this time. I'll leave now.

Coming up on our defender turned antagonist special is..

..how a Senior Police Officer used his years of training..

..to batter a poor and helpless youth.

Do you come here to use wi-fi? - Sorry, sir.

Abhay, one more cyanide killing has been reported.

Another woman? - Yes.

And the local police claim..

..that they have got hold of the murderer.

Look, Abhay. The media is following this case very closely.

The slightest mistake and hell will break loose.

Go and confirm whether this arrest is correct or not..

..before the news leaks. - Sir.

Sir. - Awasthi?

Yes, sir. I got transferred here recently.

Please come in.

Bring tea and puffs for.. You don't eat puffs.

You will have tea unsweetened tea, won't you, sir?

Yes. Unsweetened tea.

This way, sir.

Can we discuss business, Awasthi? - Yes.

We received a tip that an orgy was going on in the jungle near the river.

Drugs and so on.

When we arrived there we saw this monk was banging a corpse, sir.

He tried his best to flee but we caught him.

Punched him a few times and matched his DNA.

Then he suddenly put his hand in his loin cloth and caught his pe..

I mean he removed his genital and started screaming, sir.

We understood it was the same old Sandy matter, sir.

Sandy? - Cyanide.

That's right. Cyanide.

He had rashes.

When we conducted specific tests we learned..

..that this happened due to indirect contact with cyanide.

What made you think of testing for cyanide?

Even before this I had conducted tests..

..on the bodies of four cyanide murder victims.

It was a gut feeling?

Actually, sir, their species is such.

They smoke cannabis in the morning. They are under the influence.

Then they see a woman and beat her and rape her right there.

This Baba is not the cyanide killer.

But, sir, we witnessed..

Did you witness him murder the woman?

No, sir.

Were the woman's clothes or jewelry found on him?

No. He did not have that, sir, but..

Awasthi, why didn't you offer me puffs?

Sir, the last time you..

The last time I said to shove the puffs..

..and you remembered that. - Yes.

If this Baba was the cyanide killer..

..despite knowing the consequences..

..would he give cyanide to a woman again and have sex with her corpse?

At what time did you find the corpse? - At 1:05, sir.

We checked the time.

The time of death according to the post-mortem?

24 hours ago, sir.

Sorry, sir. Now what do we do with this Baba?

Take him home.

What do you mean, take him home? - Let's go.

Indecent behavior with a corpse.

Charge him with necrophilia. - Yes, ma'am.

Was it hydrogen cyanide or potassium cyanide?

It was potassium cyanide, sir.

Also..

..there were traces of sweet dumplings in the victim's stomach..

..which contained cyanide.

You have the medical reports of the earlier four victims?

Yes, sir.

Were the four of them also killed with sweet dumplings?

Sir, traces of sweet dumplings were found in only two victims.

Tests were not conducted on the bodies of the remaining victims.

But one thing is certain, only potassium cyanide can dissolve in food.

Bodies of all victims were found naked.

If the murder took place with the objective of robbing..

..then why was she killed with cyanide?

They could have been killed by shooting, stabbing, rod..

..or even by strangulation.

Any other observations?

The body of the victim found yesterday..

..had signs of edema, blackness in the lungs..

..and signs of scratching on the stomach.

Blackness in the lungs could be because of smoke..

..but edema, which means excessive water..

Awasthi. - Yes, sir.

Was the body found near a river?

Yes. That is exactly where it was.

It is possible that the body was thrown into the river after killing..

..and the scratches happened while flowing in the river.

This Baba found the corpse on the banks of the river..

..and he dragged it into the jungle.

The means the spot where you found the corpse..

..is not the crime scene.

But, sir, finding the source of this cyanide..

..is akin to looking for a needle in the jungle.

I mean, paper, plastic, textile, everything contains cyanide.

That means we don't have a lead.

Awsthi. - Yes, sir.

Has the victim been identified? - We will, sir.

We will do whatever it takes.

Excuse me. - Yes, sir.

I saw the video, Abhay.

So? - So?

Maybe you have reasons but you need to control yourself..

..because I've seen how frustrating it can be to lose a job.

We are in the middle of an important case now, Natasha.

I don't have time to listen to asinine talk.

Manic. It is a double-edged sword.

Nobody likes a manic friend, manic husband or a manic boss..

..because they can blow up anytime..

..but why do we forget this mania gives them a perspective..

..that we call out of the box.

The story of controversial Officer Abhay Pratap Singh is about mania.

It is easy to watch a 30 second video and call him manic and demented..

..but would he be able to arrest more than 50 big criminals..

..without this mania and killer instinct?

Then she's mentioned some big criminals.

She has praised you as well.

What is the point, sir?

This article will improve your damaged image.

The accusations that Srivastav has come to level on you are very serious.

You could be suspended. You could lose your job too.

Then let's perform the job honestly until I have it.

Whether my image is saved or not, someone's life might be saved.

Just free my team from Srivastav.

Chander's genital was dismembered.

Dushyant was beaten so badly he went into coma.

Pramod fell into cement and died.

A pattern is forming, Komal.

But, sir, these incidents are independent of each other.

When all the incidents come together they turn into a disaster..

..and the person closest to the disaster also has to suffer.

Sir, Abhay sir is not that kind of person.

Komal.

Komal. Komal, you are a smart woman.

Aren't you?

Think about what I said.

You can go.

Okay, sir.

Sir.

Sir, the corpse has been identified. The woman's name is Devika Sharma.

She was a simple homely woman.

She lived with her husband and father-in-law.

She has a four year old daughter too, sir.

She left home to go to the temple but the poor lady went up instead.

Arguments take place in every home, sir.

Despite all her faults she was very good-natured.

She would go pray at the temple every Monday for our son's promotion.

On that fateful day too she set out for a special worship..

..with some religious lady.

Religious lady? Did you know her? - No, sir.

Where is your son at this time?

My son and my grandson have gone to Jamshedpur..

..to visit my daughter-in-law's family.

I have only one regret.

Daughter-in-law was upset with me before she left.

Everyone questioned her..

..about why she was so decked up to go and conduct worship.

She left with a pout.

When you say she was decked up, you mean she was wearing jewelry?

Yes, sir.

These? - Yes, sir.

Let's send out an alert, sir.

We'll find out which store purchased this kind of jewelry recently.

Mother Manda.

Nobody can return disappointed after coming to you.

How will I ever repay your favor?

All the Doctors had given up but you offered me hope.

You saved my life. Thank you.

Stay here. I'll be back shortly.

Greetings.

I heard what that man said.

I could not stop myself from coming here.

You look distressed, my dear.

Do you have problems at home? - Yes.

How do you know, mother?

Perhaps that's why people call me mother.

You didn't tell me your name, my dear.

Aanchal. Will you help me, mother?

God is the one who helps, my dear..

..but I can surely conduct worship to get across to him.

People maintain that my worship is very potent.

What problem do you have?

My husband and I have tried everything.

Doctors, operation, homeopathy and ayurved.

But I get the feeling I am not destined to have a child.

Also, mother, my mother-in-law feels it is my shortcoming.

You should not curse your luck, my dear.

There is a very powerful mantra for conception..

..which hasn't failed till date and it won't fail this time either.

What would I have to do for that, mother?

Leave that sobbing face at home.

You must dress up like a bride to seduce the moon.

Then you will give birth to an adorable boy.

When your mind and body soaks up the rays of moonlight..

..your wish to conceive will be fulfilled.

Tonight will be a full moon night. It is perfect for the ritual.

Do we have to do it today, mother? - No, no.

We could conduct the worship next month if you wish.

On full moon night.

But it has to be a full moon night to conduct this worship.

No. No, no. I shall do it today.

Will we do it here in this temple?

There is a spot on the banks of the river..

..from where you can get a good view of the moon.

You must come over there.

But you must be careful when you come here decked up.

Lest anybody cast an evil eye on you.

Else you won't be flawless to the moon.

Oh, Ram!

Let's go. Hurry up.

I hope even she doesn't shortchange you like the previous one.

You are no longer as discerning as you were.

We got some benefit from the previous one.

The jeweler gave us a full bottle.

Mother Manda, please increase my share now.

Scoundrel! What new interest do you have at your age?

Mother Manda, I am only asking for my share. Nothing more.

Be thankful you are getting what you're getting. Let's go now.

Mother Manda, I only spoke of my share.

You are talking about your share? Scoundrel!

This is the woman who brought this jewelry to sell.

What's the matter, sir? Any problem?

But this jewelry is imitation.

Why did you purchase it if it is imitation?

Sir, I felt sorry for the old lady.

Also, these were gold plated so I gave her 8000 rupees for everything.

Did you notice any strange behavior in the old lady?

Yes. She asked for a bottle of gold polish.

When I refused she wanted to give me money for it.

She said she loves the glitter of gold. So I gave it to her.

She me what kind of bottle. - Sure.

This.

Poison.

Does this contain cyanide? - Yes.

That's why it isn't easily available in the market.

Why did you sell it to her when you knew it contained such lethal poison?

Sir, I sold it to her with a warning.

I even explained the method of polishing gold to her.

If this jewelry is imitation then the money would be insufficient.

She must be looking for her next victim.

Yes, sir. - Awasthi,

I've sent you a photo of the cyanide killer suspect.

Download it now..

..and send it to the temples and police stations in the vicinity.

Sir, my computer is malfunctioning.

Awasthi, I am waiting. Download it now and let me know.

One moment, sir. Please hold on, sir.

I asked her where she was going..

..and she told me she was going for some religious purpose. Liar!

If she had done anything right I would have a grandson by now.

Write it. Write my report.

My daughter-in-law ran away with the driver.

She was so decked up when she left..

..one would think she was getting married again.

She looked like a jewelry shop, and they were heirlooms.

Asasthi. - Yes, sir.

It's getting done.

Let me talk to the lady who is speaking aloud.

Her? - Yes, Awasthi.

Her. Give her the phone. - One moment.

Ma'am. - What do you want?

Come here for a moment. My Senior Officer wishes to speak with you.

Talk to him.

Yes. What is it?

This is Abhay Pratap Singh from STF. - So?

Just now you said your daughter-in-law left home..

..wearing jewelry worth hundreds of thousands of rupees.

Why do you get the feeling she has run away?

I have been calling her for so long. She isn't answering the phone.

Neither is she answering the phone nor is the driver.

She has taken my jewelry and run away.

Jewelry that's worth five hundred thousand rupees. Get it?

Pay attention to me.

Quickly file your daughter-in-law and driver's number over there.

Okay. I'll give it to them.

Note down the number. He said so. - Yes.

Pande, I'm sending you two phone numbers.

Track them quickly and notify me.

You? What are you doing here?

I have dedicated my whole life to mother.

Mother has been waiting for you for a long time. Come.

Let's go. - Come.

What has mother Manda done for you?

When I met her the first time I was bleeding on the street.

I had been in an accident.

I became well with the rituals.

Come.

We should leave.

It is worship for conception. We cannot stay here.

I hope you remember what I told you.

This ritual will be completed when you seduce the moon.

Yes.

But how?

You don't know how to seduce?

I don't know.

Take off your jewelry, my dear..

..and offer them to the moon.

How else will the rays of moonlight cleanse your mind and body?

But over here.. the jewelry..?

That is how the ritual takes place, my dear..

..but if you have any doubts in your mind then..

I..

..will perform the ritual.

I am simply feeling awkward. - Why do you feel awkward, my dear?

Only you and I are over here.

You have no reason to be shy of mother.

Sister-in-law has been distressed for a long time.

I hope mother Manda helps her.

Have faith in mother's miracles.

With mother's blessings everything will be okay.

Not will be okay. You might say everything is already okay.

Here. On that note, have a sweet dumpling.

Mother has prepared them herself. It is an offering.

Really? - Take it.

Pande, we have arrived at the location you gave us..

..but are you sure this is the location?

We are in the middle of the forest.

Okay. Alright.

Stop. Stop.

This is the final ritual.

The worship was completed well. You will surely reap the benefits.

Now have something sweet.

You should also have something sweet.

Who are you? And why are you impeding on our worship?

Go away! - Stop your drama.

Will you eat the sweet or do you want to go to jail?

I have a very bad reputation as it is.

Don't try to worsen it.

Thank you very, very much.

I don't know how I let myself get involved in this.

Do not worry.

I will take you in for a medical examination.

When did you come to Lucknow?

Why did you go to my son's school?

Did you get Natasha attacked in jail?

Were you at my house on 19 December 2015?

You were terrified, weren't you, Mr. Abhay?

When you were involved.

You never gave a thought to my wife and children.

No. It is not your fault. Not fault at all.

That is the trait of policemen.

Move. Move. Sir. Sir. Sir. Sir. Sir.

Constable, take him away.

Move it. Move it. Everyone make way. Come on. Make way.

Why are you crowding around here? Move.

Move. Move. Move. Move.

Move back!

"Grandma, the peacock took your peahen away."

"Everything that remained was taken away by a degenerate."

Sir.

Sir, the case report of cyanide killings.

Case closed.

Congratulations, Abhay. - Thank you, sir.

You upheld the Department's honor.

One more thing.

Goel has filed an FIR against you..

..and the Department has decided..

..you will remain off duty until the end of Srivastav's enquiry.

Place your gun and ID on the table.

Jai Hind, sir. - Jai Hind.
