That face glowing brighter
Than the moon

Those tresses shining brighter
Than the sun

- Papa!
- Yeah?

Those tresses now look like the moon!
Those moon-like tresses!

Those eyes deeper than the ocean
Hide some deep-buried secrets!

How can I praise him enough--

- So romantic!
- Sorry.

- Jagu, those shawls look good.
- Yeah.

- The blue shawl looks good.
- No.

Just leave the bargaining to me,
all right?

- I like the black one.
- No way, Jagu!

You're not getting a black one!

Black's an unlucky color!
You shouldn't wear it.

Come on, Mom!

Our home's pretty "unlucky."
Wearing black isn't gonna change that.

And black is an elegant color.

- Right, Uncle?
- Sure!

And, Jagu, oldies who die their hair black
have no right to call it unlucky!

- What!
- Got her!

- Go on! Buy the one you like.
- Yeah.

How much is this one?

Four thousand rupees.

- Four!
- Mom!

Let's buy some for Mani Bhai, Jasu Ben,
and the other relatives as well.

Yeah, get something
for your colleagues as well.

Nani, I'm really hungry!
Let's get some food.

- Sure!
- Let's go.

- Sure.
- I'm hungry too. Let's go.

- How about 2,000?
- Yeah, Shridhar?

Sen has been shot.

- When? Shit!
- A couple of hours ago.

- How is he?
- No one knows anything yet.

I'm going to the crime scene
and Deepa's going to the hospital.

But this is crazy, Shri!

I know you're on holiday with your family.
But this is a big story, J.

I want the CCTV footage
from the whole neighborhood.

And round up all the eyewitnesses.

I want to personally talk
to every single one of them.

Also, all of Sen's recent articles,

IPL and everything else,
I need links to all of them.

And please!

Please secure the crime scene
and make sure it doesn't get too crowded.

Over and out.

Step on it, man.

- Well, you're late.
- I'm in Srinagar.

- I am on holiday with my family.
- What?

Have you found anything, sir?

As much as I know you,

you must've spoken to
at least a couple of sources by now.

So, why don't you tell me?

Sir, he had a lot of haters.
He had unearthed an IPL betting scam.

And everyone knows
the politician who was involved.

And he also broke
a ten-thousand-million oil mafia scam.

The scam's kingpin was arrested as well.

Could be his men?

I've heard he's in Arthur Road Jail,
but he's still really active.

Clearly, you're not letting go
of that Page One.

Hey, please stop that!

Sir, I have another lead.

Sen Dada had submitted a report

against some senior IPS officers
to the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

Are you chasing this?

You know, Jagruti?
I have a theory as well.

That theories that are not
backed by evidence…

can destroy careers.

Sitting in Srinagar won't help you.

If you want an exclusive, then get here.

- Mom…
- Don't you guys get it?

This is the biggest story of the year,
and I'm… stuck here in Kashmir!

Sorry.

I spoke to Sen last night.

And he was in good spirits.

He told me,
"I have a big story for you, Mr. Editor!"

"I'm gonna hit the final ball
out of the park just like Dhoni!"

"And then I can retire."

I got a feeling that he had his story.
But he said, "No. Nothing."

And then, this…

I don't get it, Imran.

Balls, Sen would've retired.

I used to joke with him.

"Your ghost would walk this earth
reporting crime even after your death."

Imran, I'll be back.

Come on. Make it quick.

Hey, stop that! Stop it!
He was your senior!

Out! Show some respect.

The audience will flip the channel
if we stop to "show some respect", sir.

Out! Now!

We're all sorry for the loss too, sir.
But we were just doing our job.

Come on.

Mr. Diwakar, this is not the right time
to point a finger at the police.

Please listen to me carefully.

Just get to Mumbai as soon as you can.

Yeah.

No, it could turn into a huge mess.
Please just come to Mumbai.

All right? Yeah, I'll keep you posted.

Imran, you're not getting it!

Diwakar Chaturvedi
wasn't just Sen's colleague,

they were really good friends.

And what Diwakar has to say is legit.

If the angle I'm thinking about is right,
it'll be huge!

No, it won't be. It's just a hunch
of an angry and upset colleague.

No, we can't just pass that judgment.

If Leena gets her hands on this, it'll
be City Mirror's front page tomorrow.

J! It's not a story!
And this is not City Mirror.

Bye.

Where the hell is everyone?

You don't wanna print tomorrow's edition?

Neha? Want an exclusive?

Good evening and welcome to News Night.

The top story tonight
is the shocking daylight murder

of senior crime reporter Jaideb Sen.

We have Mr. Diwakar Chaturvedi,
a senior investigative journalist himself,

joining us from Lucknow station

before he boards a train to Mumbai
to attend Sen's last rites.

Mr. Chaturvedi was not only
Sen's colleague,

but also his close friend.

Mr. Chaturvedi,
are you aware of any threats or warnings

that Sen would've received
in the recent past?

Neha, an investigative reporter
ends up making a ton of enemies.

And Sen had exposed many bigshots.

The threats are quite obvious.

Can you be more specific? Any names?

Recently, he had done a report
on a few corrupt IPS officers.

And one of them, ACP Mahanande,
was really mad at Sen.

And is that the reason why Mahanande
filed a defamation suit against Sen?

Of course! Mahanande was
directly linked to Dawood's family.

And Sen exposed this truth.

- Where are you, Deepa?
- I'm going in.

Just check if ACP Mahanande is in there.
And keep your eyes fixed on him.

India Now team is here, J.

- Mahanande's also inside. Confirmed.
- Perfect.

ACP Mahanande personally called me
and said…

"Ask Sen to back off if he wants to live."

Are you saying that ACP Mahanande
threatened Jaideb Sen?

Yes. But that was never gonna stop Sen.

- J, Mahanande's leaving his office.
- Let him go.

I think we should get his reaction, J.

Just wait, Deepa.
We need much more than that.

ACP Mahanande!

Is it true that you had issued
a death threat to Jaideb Sen?

- Get out.
- What about this allegation, sir?

- Out--
- Sir! Who were the others--

Who the hell let you in here?

Sir, we've heard that your actions
are being investigated.

- What would you like to say?
- What the fuck is going on?

- Sir! Sir!
- Get that out of my face!

- Get out of here!
- Sir, you cannot do that!

What are you doing?

- Sir, you cannot do this!
- Throw them out!

- J, he's going back in.
- Perfect.

Imran said
Diwakar was not the story, right?

He was right.
Now we're gonna get the real story.

ACP Mahanande…

If everything goes well,

ACP Mahanande is gonna give us
an exclusive.

Go in after five minutes.

That's nonsense.
Did ACP Mahanande really kill Sen?

That's what Diwakar says.

How can they just
paint someone as a criminal

without a shred of evidence
on national television?

Mahanande's no saint.
Don't worry about him.

He's quite the artist,
and a famous one at that.

- J, should I go in?
- Yup, go for it.

Just finish your dinner. I'll be back.

Why do you need to
get involved in this mess?

Ma'am, where are you going?

Mahanande's PA. Kamble.

Come on, Mr. Kamble!
Don't you remember me?

Jagruti Pathak. Eastern Age.

May I?

Sir, Ms. Jagruti Pathak
wants to talk to you.

Sir, please. Five minutes. It's urgent.

Sir, people will believe Diwakar's version
if you don't put yours out there.

- Thank you, sir.
- Good. Just follow my lead.

J, I can do this interview, I know it.

Deepa, listen to me.

When your editor
refuses to believe your story,

and yet you manage to squeeze
a front-page scoop out of it, we'll talk.

This is my story. Just do what I say.

Who the hell let you in here?

Sir, we've heard that your actions
are being investigated.

- What would you like to say?
- What the fuck is going on?

- Sir! Sir!
- Get that out of my face!

- Get out of here!
- Sir, you cannot do this!

- Get them out of here!
- As you can see, this is footage…

This is exactly the kind of thing
that shouldn't have happened.

This directly implicates us.

How did this happen?

Sir, Mahanande got taken by surprise.

I hope he hasn't shot his mouth off.

He has, sir.

To Eastern Age.

I called him after I saw him on TV.

I had a word with his PA.

And within five minutes of his outburst,
Jagruti Pathak was interviewing him.

Jagruti?

You know what this means, right?

Opposition, Press Association…

They'll all come here
with their own agendas

and they'll piss all over us.

Jagruti gave India Now
Diwakar and Mahanande, right?

Ask the desk to quote Mahanande
on the subhead

before they put it on Page One.

- It's an exclusive, right?
- Of course, sir.

Thank you.

Yeah?

Nothing, sir. Thank you.

Jagu, did you have dinner, sweetheart?

That's enough. Stop working.
Come on, let's get you some food.

- Everyone's done?
- Of course!

We had our dinner a long time ago.

Sorry I wasted everyone's day.

Don't be silly.

Uncle, I shouldn't be here.
This is really important.

I'll have to go back to Mumbai, but…

What-- What's wrong?

I promised Neel as well.
I've had a word with him.

- He's upset, but I'm not sure.
- Obviously.

You've taken a break after a long time.

- It's just one story.
- It's not about "one story."

It's about which one.

And this is really big.

And, Uncle, out of sight is out of mind.
And then, out of job.

I'm a crime reporter.
And a female crime reporter at that.

What do you think?

Do you think it was easy becoming
the Deputy Bureau Chief

in just seven years?

This is my ability!
I deliver big stories consistently!

That I'm never off the front page.

I work hard to kick ass
on the field every single day!

If I relax, even for a second,
I'll lose it all in a matter of seconds!

Tell me. What do you want me to do?

You should go.

Your mind's already there.

Your heart can't be here
if your mind isn't.

You should go, my dear.

And don't worry about Neel.
We're here. We'll have fun.

He will understand.

Jagu…

just be careful, all right?

Whatever you do…

just be careful, my child.

Take care.

I'm tired, Uncle.

Get some rest, child.

Silent protests were observed
across the city by journalists

as the Press Association
calls the government out on their inaction

in the Jaideb Sen murder investigation.

Sources suggest though

that the Press Association
is divided about the way forward.

See, what I'm trying to say is,
let's not politicize this issue.

Look at what has happened
in the past six months.

Vijay Kumar in UP,
Umesh Singh in Chhattisgarh,

Shaheen Khan in Karnataka,
and Sen right here.

A prominent journalist is being killed
every two months.

And for this, we need better legislation.

Imran, just look…
Look at where you are.

They have invited us to the Mantralaya.

But the Chief Minister doesn't
have the time to meet us.

My guess is that he'll send some flunky
to note down our demands.

The government thinks politically.

And you need to communicate to people
in a language that they understand.

CBI. Resignations.

More than 30 journalists have been killed
in India in the last decade alone.

The government has changed twice.
But the situation hasn't.

Jagmohan, right from
the days of the Emergency,

I've demanded many resignations,
and I've seen some,

but what's the end result?

Exactly.

We want the government in our corner.

We don't want them
to think of us as the enemy.

Especially, definitely not in this case.
Let's try and work together?

Better legislation should be a priority,
I agree.

But, Imran,
politics is the only way we can get it.

We'll have to get them to hear us
to bring them to our corner.

Sir, Sen's wife has claimed that

they received a death threat
from the oil mafia in her statement.

And the technical evidence
points in that direction as well.

Here's the firearm examination report.

The cartridge was 0.22 mm rim fire ball.
Source is Nainital.

The oil kingpin, the prime suspect.

He's linked to Nainital as well--

But Rajan's gang has
a Nainital connection as well, right?

- Dawood Den Shootout.
- One second.

Here's a rough sketch of the shooter.
He's the one who fired four shots.

It matches Suresh Kalia's description.

Suresh Kalia used to work for Rajan,
but that was eight years ago.

I've pulled up the call records.
They're on your table.

But we haven't established the fact
that he's currently in touch with Rajan.

You haven't established it yet.
Dig deeper! Find a connection.

Let's get on with it!

Sir, this story was completely anti-Rajan.

Sir, but Sen has written similar stuff
about Dawood as well.

Jagtap, what the hell do you want me
to say to the CM?

"Sorry, sir. We can't find a connection.
Nothing solid."

They've been calling me every hour.
They need updates!

- We need to make some arrests, Jagtap.
- Yes, sir.

And just throw some scraps
to the story-hungry media as well!

Break those goddamn protests.
Mahanande's already made a mess!

Sir, it was Diwakar and Pathak
who screwed him.

And put us on the stand.
So-called investigative journalists…

There's nothing new.

Investigative journalists
have connections on both sides.

They have police sources
as well as gang sources.

It's possible that
Sen got too close to his sources.

Maybe someone from D-company.

And then, Rajan did what he did.

This anti-Rajan story
supports this theory.

So, we…

You may leave.

- Go on. Let me think.
- Sir.

Sir, I have checked everything.

We don't have much evidence
to establish a link to Rajan.

I need more time, sir.

Sir, if we jump the gun,
this could backfire on us.

Okay, sir.

Jai Hind.

We have enough prima facie evidence

to suggest that this was
a Rajan Gang operation.

Ballistic reports and
the preliminary identities of the shooters

all point towards Rajan.

We also believe that Sen was getting
very close to the Dawood gang.

- Sir, a question.
- Wait a minute.

He was also involved in
information trading between the two gangs.

It's possible that he wrote a few articles
to please the don. Go on.

Sir, do we have a motive
for the information trading--

Are you saying that
his journalism got him killed?

Sir, was Sen taking bribes
to write positive stories?

And what evidence do you have
to prove these claims?

These articles.

"Rajan's men fearful."

"Rajan's rushed to hospital.
Undergoing surgery."

"Is Bombay's Don losing his den?"

All these articles,
they either infuriated Rajan…

or they were written at the instruction
of the D-gang.

It's possible that
someone instigated Rajan.

Everything that you've said,
is it just a theory,

or do you have some solid proof
to support this theory?

- And one more question.
- Yes?

Did someone from D-company rat Sen out?

See, right now the evidence
is only circumstantial.

We have to dig deeper
and we're working towards it.

But it's possible
that some rival gang member

ratted Sen out to Rajan.

Or maybe a rival journalist.

You know, professional rivalry.
To get into the good books of Rajan.

That'll be all, guys.

Isn't this a little too convenient?

If gangsters really shot people
for every negative story,

we'd all be dead.

And Sen had a good balance with Rajan.

He had written plenty of
anti-Dawood articles.

No one shot him back then.

Well, maybe Dawood is more tolerant.

Jagruti, you know what?
You should try archery.

By constantly raining arrows down,
you know, as per law of averages,

at least a few are
bound to hit the target. Right?

We call that "taking a shot in the dark".
And we're all doing the same right now.

Did this one hit the mark?

No.

But Mahanande has been transferred.
Punishment posting.

You know, Jagruti,
I have another story about Sen.

But only if you're interested.

Police suspect that Sen was having
an affair with one of his colleagues.

- Poonam Krishnan. I have the cops--
- Really?

Imran, I have an ex-IPS officer on record.

He says Sen used to take money

to do positive stories
on certain other IPS officers.

And what proof does this IPS officer have?

He'll willing to say this on record.

Every story doesn't have proof.
You know how it is.

Without proof, there is no story.
You know how it is.

The Sen story is not speculative.

I have the tour manager on record.
That Poonam--

Or they must have backed out
at the last moment.

Will someone tell me,
this is a story because?

Because Abu Salem's prison love letters
to his model girlfriend

was a story which I got and you ran.

So now Salem's the same as Sen?

New Zealand Prime Minister John Key
is going to visit Bombay.

He's trying to get more Bollywood films
to be shot in New Zealand.

My angle--

…that Sen took bribes from the underworld
to expose rival gangs.

It has also come to light

that Sen's Powai flat
was bought much below the market rate.

Now, the question is,
was the rest of the money paid in black?

And if yes, by who?

Guys, don't you see the sudden rise
in personal attacks on Sen?

It's called systematic victim sabotaging.

They're feeding us the stories
to control the narrative.

Pointing a finger at Sen is like
pointing a finger at all of us, the media.

This is their reaction to our protest.

And if you can't see such a basic fact,
I'm really sorry.

But everyone's running with it, Imran.

So, let them run, Jagruti Pathak!

We will not be in a rat race
on such a sensitive topic.

Imran, you're aware that
we're not just a crime daily, right?

We can have political stories
on Page One--

Pushkar, you have Page One.
What is the problem?

Thanks.

Good evening, Ms. Leena.

Good evening.

Jaideb Sen!

Imran.

- Hello, sir.
- Hi.

You did that national park
encroachment story?

- Very well-researched.
- Thank you, sir.

Well, he's done his research
on you as well.

I want to report crime.

And you've set the bar
for crime reporting really high.

Forget about reporting,
he'll end up stopping crime altogether.

Take him, Immy.
He could be your Clark Kent.

Why do you wanna be
a crime reporter, Dada?

For the story.

I thought you will say, "For the truth."

Every story has its truth.

Show.

What the…

Do you smoke, Dada?

I don't mind!

Thank you.

Sen's death was ugly,
but what's happening now is uglier.

And we're all responsible for it.

How are we responsible for it, Imran?

We love selling death for cheap headlines,
an exclusive here, a Page One there.

We have started treating
our readers like consumers.

It's just that…

it's him now, so it's hitting me hard.

Imran, I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry for your loss.
I know it's a big loss. I understand.

But what if it's all true?

You used to always tell me
that Sen was really secretive.

What if…

Maybe he was playing both sides.

But this doesn't justify
leaking someone's personal details.

Especially someone
who can't defend themselves.

We just cannot
assassinate someone who's dead.

Imran, please don't take it personally.
We're all just doing our job.

Jagruti, previously, they used to say…

"If journalism is good, by default,
it will be controversial."

Now it's the opposite.

If it's controversial, by default,
it's good journalism.

Yeah?

Okay.

Let me know if you need some help.

What's wrong?

It's started.

Cops are going after every reporter
who has ever worked with Sen.

Payback time.

Oh, sorry.

They're just doing their job.

And this time, we're all suspects.

It was a regular thing with Dada.

He used to meet Pramod Irani
at a bar in Chembur regularly.

Eight to ten days before the shootout

we met Pramod Irani
at the same bar in Chembur.

But a day before the shootout,
we met him at a bar in Saki Naka instead.

Dada was really nervous.

What happened at the Chembur meeting?

- I'm not sure, sir.
- You were just there for the snacks, eh?

Okay, what did Mr. Sen say
at the Saki Naka meeting?

I don't know, sir.

I'll thrash you so hard…

you'll remember every word he'd said.

Hello, Jaideb Bhai!

Come on, write something decent
about us someday.

Speak up!

Sir, at the second meeting…

it ended in a few minutes.

Actually, Irani received a call
and he had to leave, sir.

And I don't know…

Sen and Irani's parties,
were they an everyday thing?

Do you drink?

What would you drink?

- Glenfiddich?
- Shri, Glen-- No, sir.

- With a soda?
- No, sir.

- On the rocks?
- No, sir. Thank you.

Then?

Sir, I'm telling you the truth.
I just met him twice.

And Dada was with me.

All right, did you just go there
for the drinks and the snacks?

Or did you work with them as well?

I, actually, wanted to interview Rajan.

Why does every bloody reporter
want to interview Rajan?

You're the ones who
make these criminals famous.

Sen told you
that he'd get you Nana's interview?

- Yes, sir.
- So, Sen was close to Nana?

No idea, sir. I don't know. I…

Motherfucker…

You were with Sen
one night before the murder?

Yes, sir.

You met Pramod Irani with Sen
at a different spot?

- Yes, sir.
- So, what are you hiding?

Nothing, sir.

What did you say to Irani
that led to Sen's death?

- Speak up!
- I-- I swear, sir!

I didn't say a word.

I don't know anything, sir. Please, sir.

- No, no! Speak up!
- Please, sir!

I swear on my life, sir!
What are you doing, sir? Please.

To be honest, Dada was really secretive
about his stories.

- Shoma had--
- Shoma?

His wife.

She had no idea either.

Where Dada was, who he was with,
what he was doing.

That's the reason he went to Europe alone?

Raja-Rani Travels.

A single passenger traveled
on a couple's package.

Who might've he met?

Anyway, tell me.
Don't you guys compete with each other?

Of course we do.

Don't you?

We used to during the encounter era.

So, who was Sen competing with?

I remember him arguing with Kulkarni
from A-to-Z News about a lead.

Yeah.

He had an argument with
Rizwan Chhibber once at the press club.

The one from Ab Tak

- Why?
- Dada didn't confirm a tip for him.

Well, I've heard…

Dada used to wine and dine his sources.
Is this true?

What about an argument with a source?

Not with a source, but…

it happened for a source.

With Jagruti Pathak.

And who was this source?

Farhaan.

- Farhaan Tauquir.
- Rajan's shooter?

Sir, Ms. Jagruti found out
about his murder before the police did.

In fact, she was the one
who informed the police.

- And did you witness this argument?
- No.

Dada showed me a message. From Jagruti.

It said, "Stay away from Tauquir."

- Or?
- Or…

No, that's all I read.

So, Pathak threatened Sen.

She did.

Thank you.

Have you packed Kevin's gift?

Mr. Chaos!

I have a gift for you as well.

What?

This can be our new home.

You'll have your own room here.

My room? Like Kevin's?
Even I'll play video games with Papa!

Just like Kevin and his dad!

You miss Papa?

Yes.

He'll come to see you soon, okay?

You always say that but he never comes.

He loves you, sweetie. Even I do.

Then why are you sending me away?

Go, fetch Mom some water.

Time is a big teacher.

He'll learn.

May I say something, Jagu?

Stop making false promises
about his father.

Not now, Nana.

Let me see the brochure.

Wow!

You can afford this, right?

I have some savings for the down payment.

The rest, Murad's getting me a good deal.
He knows the builder.

I'm just praying
the installments work out.

The first Pathak girl with a house.

Wow! Well done!

Thank you, Nana.

Come on.

- Do you like it?
- It's for me?

It's from Kashmir.
They say it brings you good luck.

Thank you.

Be careful, J.

Deepa could take up all your good luck.

Let me see.

Oh!

Yeah, Ashit?

Ma'am, Jaideb Sen met Iqbal Mirchi.
In Europe.

Where did you hear that?

A cop from the ATS.

He keeps grumbling about Mirchi.
I heard it from him.

You sure?

- Iqbal Mirchi from D-company?
- Of course! I'm sure.

You've earned yourself a party.
This is a fresh angle.

I'll see you soon. Bye.

Pushkar.

This is for you.

These scented candles will help you
smell an actual story from a PR piece.

Your gifts are in my office. Come on.

Don't even think about it. Out.

Come on, Aryan. Faster!

Twenty-four! Twenty-five!

Come on, son! What is this? Fast!

Yes, Jagruti?

An ATS source claims that
Sen met Iqbal Mirchi in Europe. Did he?

It's an ATS source.

You should confirm it with an ATS officer.
Why are you calling me?

Sir, if I confirm it with them,
and if they end up solving his case,

you'll end up in hot water, right?

Why are you handing them
the credit on a platter?

Why don't you confirm it on record?

Sen met Mirchi. In London.

So, did Mirchi call the hit on Sen?

Maybe, Rajan found out
about Mirchi and Sen's meeting.

Maybe he called the hit?

Or maybe Sen found out

that Mirchi's narcotics business
funded last year's Twin Blasts.

And that's the reason
the ATS is hunting Mirchi down.

Or maybe the nexus theory was right.

The police were protecting Dawood,
and by default, Mirchi too.

Sen was onto it.

Police had pinned
the Dawood Den Shootout on Rajan.

And again…

A shot in the dark again, Jagruti.

We're chasing Mirchi.
And we believe it could be him.

And I'm confirming this, okay?

See, sir? It was so simple!

You're bloody welcome!

Yes!

Yes.

Neel, help Mom with her bags!

You need to take some responsibility.

- Mom, we're going in this car?
- Yes!

Whose car is that?

It's Murad's car. He's a friend.
I'll return it tomorrow.

- Why would you do that, Jagu?
- It's so cool, Uncle!

Nani, look! It has a sunroof as well!

- Wow!
- Amazing!

We'll take you to Marine Drive
in this car when you're back.

You can take an auto rickshaw.

- Here you go.
- Thanks, Nana.

I'd have had to come back for these!

Get in!

Yeah, Deepa?

Hi, J. Have you left for Panchgani?

I'm just reaching the highway.
What happened?

There's a presser at the Crime Branch.
Police have made arrests in Sen's case.

Mirchi's men?

We don't have the details.
But can you come?

All right, I'll be there.

Over the last one week,

my team has worked tirelessly
on this case.

I believe we have cracked it.
So far, we've made seven arrests.

The main shooter who shot Sen,
Suresh Kalia, we've arrested him.

And we're confident
that the man who ordered the shootout

is Chhota Rajan.

- Chhota Rajan?
- Shroff, sir…

Sen wrote some unflattering stuff
about Rajan after the Dawood Den Shootout.

Rajan was clearly upset with it
and it provoked him.

Mr. Shroff, when did the gangsters
start reading the newspapers?

They might not read the papers,
but they know what's happening.

So, are reporters still being
interrogated by the police?

Yes. Rajan ordered this shootout,
but he was provoked by a journalist.

- How can you be so sure that…
- What is the name of the journalist, sir?

You told our paper that the Mirchi lead
is being investigated.

Are you still pursuing that?

Are there any more journalists
involved in this?

We are all with you.
We respect the work that you are doing.

But, please, one at a time.

Sir, are some political connections
involved in this conspiracy?

Sir, is there a wider network?

Just a second. Silence, please.

- But, sir…
- Silence, please.

Mr. Dalvi, go ahead.

The shooter's name you've mentioned,
Suresh Kalia…

Yes.

My sources say that he's been living
in his village for the past ten years.

And that he'd retired from crime.

Do you have a confession from him?

Or is this just another theory?

Mr. Dalvi, a senior reporter like yourself
must know that

theories don't solve cases.

Proof does.

We have call data records
of Rajan talking to Kalia.

This will answer all your questions.

Sir, please say something.

Sir!

- Move!
- Sir!

Sir!

Jagruti, you published the Iqbal Mirchi
exclusive two days ago, right?

They had already arrested
four out of the seven suspects back then.

They always knew it was Chhota Rajan.

But anyway, relax. Be careful.

Don't become their mouthpiece
in the race to get an exclusive.

Salman Khan has the same car, right?

Nice color, man.

Come on.

Come on.

Let's go.

Keep this money with you.
And be careful.

- My sweet child!
- Man, you got the top bunk again!

So? You should've come earlier.

Hi, Kevin!

- Hi, Auntie.
- Where are your parents?

Gone to meet Father Francis.

Listen, help Neel with his studies.
So, that he can come first like you.

Auntie, Neel always comes first
in art class.

- Really?
- He's an artist!

Please don't worry about him.

Okay. Get the gift.

- Yeah, Imran?
- Get to a TV, now.

He used to write a lot of shit about me.
He was trying to play me.

He was in bed with Dawood.
They were planning to kill me.

- So, you ordered a hit on Sen?
- Yeah! Of course!

He was in cahoots with a traitor!
So, I did what I had to.

Rajan's bending over backwards
for the Mumbai Police again.

And the irony is that Sen was
the first one to catch on to this pattern.

Shroff already knew about Rajan.
But he didn't say a word!

And when I asked him about Mirchi,
he deliberately went on record about him.

Shroff wanted to break the Rajan pattern.

He wanted to build the perception
that he was following multiple leads.

And he used you to build it.

You know, Imran, I poked him about
the Dawood-Mumbai Police nexus story

to get him to talk.
And then he did.

What is Sen's theory
about the nexus was right?

And that's the reason this is happening?

I know you want to believe that,
but I've told you this before,

they were trying to control the narrative.

They were feeding us.
You got played. It happens.

At least, it was on record.
Right? Anyway, forget about it.

Give a big hug and kiss to Neel.

Okay, bye.

Mom!

You'll have another break in five months.
Mom will come back, okay?

Be a good boy.

And study well.

I'll miss you.

- Bye.
- Bye, Mom.

News filtering in.

Fresh arrests have been made
in the Jaideb Sen murder case.

Top Chhota Rajan gang members,

Pramod Irani and John Samson
have been arrested by the Mumbai Police.

I've been repeating this all day!

Ask about charges!

Ask about specifics and last confessions.

The seven arrested men
have given them nothing.

- Understand that, Deepa?
- Yeah.

Oh, God! How are we gonna get past
this sea of senior citizens?

Look Devanand's walking towards us.

- Devanand?
- Mr. Dalvi.

Mr. Dalvi!

How are you, Ms. Jagruti?

Could you do me a favor by substantiating
one of my leads with Mr. Shroff?

I've heard that the person
who was arrested, Mr. Samson,

he was the one who got everyone
their international SIM cards.

Untraceable ones.

Why are you being so kind, Mr. Dalvi?

Why are you giving me your exclusive?

They must be waiting for you.
You could confirm it yourself.

I'm sure he'd prefer to meet you.
Wanna bet?

And I don't really care
about exclusives anymore.

All I want to do is
get to the bottom of the story.

That's not true, sir.

Be it Shroff, or any other cop,

they do have a soft spot
for the English newspapers.

You're right.

They do have a separate quota
for English newspapers.

But there's also your equation
with Mr. Shroff.

- No, it's really useful, really helpful.
- Sure.

Jagruti ma'am!
Boss wants to see you.

- What did he say?
- "Equation."

Go on, build one.

Devrat, sir!

Hi. Deepa Chandra, Eastern Age.

Your daughter, Anshika?

She studies at Mount Mary,
Mussoorie, right?

I also studied there.
But I was in batch 2005.

Ms. Pathak!

Actually, I really needed to see you.

What do you mean?

We spend our days staring at
the ugly faces of these criminals.

The Crime Branch can use some color.
Some beauty.

Is that why you gave me a fake exclusive?
So, that I could come here more often?

And the Crime Branch can use
some color and some beauty?

You knew that
the Iqbal Mirchi story was bullshit.

- And yet you confirmed it.
- You asked…

and I confirmed it.

That's how this works.

What do you want me to confirm now?

Already everybody thinks I'm your stooge.
The Crime Branch's mouthpiece.

And this Mirchi story almost confirmed it.

Ms. Pathak…

that's how it is.

That's how this equation works.
It's one-sided.

I'm always giving.

But if you want more,
then you have to give more.

What do you mean?

I…

I…

Fu…

Mr. Dalvi, I couldn't
substantiate your lead.

Mr. Shroff's currently got
his head up his rear end.

You can talk to him once he pulls it out.

Devrat did it. The substantiation.
I thought I might as well just ask him.

What about your story?

- What's the deal with Samson and Irani?
- They haven't confessed yet.

In fact, Kalia hasn't either.

They're charged under MCOCA.
Conspiracy to murder.

Well, you get your story on some days.
And some days, you don't.

But what can you get every day?
Some great masala tea!

All right.

Watching you two reminded me of
Imran and Jaideb Sen.

They were just like Jai and Veeru.

- Jai and Veeru?
- Yeah.

It's all about the ears, you see.

Imran had Dawood's ear.
And Sen had Rajan's.

And between them,
they covered the whole underworld.

You two are just like Seeta and Geeta.

One has JCP Shroff,
and the other has ACP Devrat.

You two cover the whole Crime Branch.

One of those two
is definitely gonna give you an exclusive.

- Hello?
- Hello, Jagruti.

- This is Sachit.
- I have your number, Sachit, sir.

I worked for you, remember?

You're a star reporter now.

Anyway, would you
like to meet? About a job?

Jaideb's role?

Wow! I wasn't expecting this.
Are you sure?

It was Jaideb, actually.

Just a few days before his…

he had casually remarked…

"Pathak is getting good!"

- Hello?
- Yeah, Shivdasani? It's me, Nana.

- Yeah, Nana. Tell me.
- Our boys wasted the blood crime reporter.

What was his name? Sen.

He used to work for Dawood.
For the ISI.

Irani was made the scapegoat.

Actually, you know that reporter.
What's her name? The lady, Pathak.

Jagruti Pathak.
She used to talk shit about Sen.

- She's the one who provoked me.
- Is this really Rajan?

One hundred percent.

He's talking to the builder,
Manoj Shivdasani.

Jagtap…

nobody other than you, me and Shroff,
should know about this recording.

- Is that clear?
- Sir.
