01x04 - So Near Yet So Far

[bunniefuu]

Hi.

What did you cook today?

What do you want?

Okay.

We actually bring the idol
of Lord Ganapati home every year

and my father used to make the shed.

Small, but cute.

He passed away last year, so...

Can you make the shed

this year? Please.

I can't make the shed. I am busy.

You can make it in just 2 to 3 hours.

Please help me.

I am busy.

But...

Fine.

Ira.

What?

The shed...

Will you make it?

Perfect.

Tomorrow is Sunday,
let's make it together.

Sammit?

What happened? You are bleeding.

Come, sit.

Let me have a look.

By the way,
it is not that serious, ma'am.

How the heck do you know
whether it is serious or not?

Shall I tell her?

Huh?

The police had gone to your house.

Why?

I don't know.

But you need to go
to the police station immediately.

I didn't want to reveal anything,

but now,
I will expose you completely.

Tell them about this as well.

'Vikas's first scoop, '

'a ghost was seen in Sarangwadi.'

'16th February, 2005.'

'I am reporter Vikas Sarode'

'right now'

'I am at artist
Bala Banne's workshop, '

'which is a mysterious room.'

'There is news from the past several
years that this place is haunted.'

'Who...'

'Who...'

'Who's that?'

'Who...'

'It is a wild deer.'

'I will k*ll it now.'

'Would you like to have it, raw?'

Had you shown the videos
of dad's workshop to the police,

May be those women wouldn't have died.

But if the police sees this,

then you will be in trouble.

What are you going to do now?

I am about to make a deal with you.

Hold on.

Why are you still here?

You were supposed
to pick me, ma'am.

I didn't say anything
like that to Sammit.

I felt so.

I would've mistaken it.

How did Sammit get this injury?

Even this is my fault.

Vikas Sarode,

don't beat around the bushes.

Sammit, say something.

What has happened?

Ma'am, you both carry on,

I will get going. Okay? Bye.

Stop!

What 'Okay? Bye'?

Did I permit you to leave?

Ma'am, this pen.

It started with pen and
ended with pain..

Sorry.

I actually wanted 12 pens
for my office staff.

So?

The cost he gave was very high.

I asked for a discount,

but he refused.

So what?
- I said something wrong to him.

I shouldn’t have said
but said the wrong thing.

I was absolutely..
- Ira.

What did you tell him?

I told him,

'Since you are an inspector's husband, '

'don't act pricey.
This is an ordinary job.'

You should be doing it for free...
- I will.. - Ira.

It's okay.

I admit my mistake.

He also reacted the same way.

He raised his hand on me.

He shouldn't have slapped me,

I shouldn't have slapped him too,

so it escalated.

The fault is mine. It's all my fault,

he is innocent.

So let me go, please.
- Ira, forget it.

Yes, forget and forgive.

By the way,
why did you want to see me?

Do you know Dheeraj Kumar?

The one who runs Chinese restaurant.
- Yes, I do. Why do you ask?

He got m*rder*d this morning.

'Mr. Vikas, Abhishek Banne
is here to take revenge on me.'

'He's here. Mr. Vikas, help me.'

Abhishek Banne and I were
school mates in Sarangwadi.

And how did Dheeraj Kumar
know Abhishek?

When I made a vlog about
Sarangwadi serial k*ller,

Dheeraj Kumar had contacted me.

He was about to give me
a tip about Abhishek.

That Abhishek is his father's accomplice?

I am not sure, ma'am.

What do you think?
Was there an accomplice?

I am not sure.

But in school, Abhishek would
lose his temper for trivial matters.

Like the m*rder
of the village chief in 2005.

In that he was the prime accused, right?

He then fled.

After that there was a rumour
in the village as well.

What rumour?

They say, 'Like father, like son'.

We thought Abhishek would change,

but he didn't.

He is still the same.

Still?

Are you in touch with him?

When did you last meet him?

I mean..

I mean to say,

if Abhishek Banne

has k*lled Dheeraj Kumar,

that means, he still hasn't reformed.

He has become worse
from being bad.

And how could I have met him?
No, I didn't.

Yeah.

Dheeraj Kumar's wife Seema

is ready to talk.

Abhishek Banne has
done all this, ma'am.

He used to threaten my husband
over the phone.

Dheeraj refused to approach the police.

Did Dheeraj have friends
or partner?

Yes, he did.

If you go to Sagar Restaurant

on the highway,

you will find out.

Abhishek used to

work there with Dheeraj.

Let’s go.

Laksh.

Ramakant Shetty.
- Yes.

Laksh Ranade, Crime Branch.

Crime Branch?

Yes.

We want to talk to you.

Yumm...

It's so yummy.

It's your best dish ever.

What's in this?

Some things are good as secrets.

Just know that

this has my signature.

Ma’am.

The owner is ready to talk.

So you are telling me

you don't have any details
about Abhishek?

No address,
no information on relatives, nothing?
- Ma’am,

why are you putting me on the stand?

I had offered him a minimal salary,

he agreed, too.

So I didn't ask for any documents.

You must be having
at least a passport size photo.

There is no need for one,

it's imprinted on the mind forever.

He was insane.

I used to fear him.

Oh, you didn't eat anything.

At least taste it,
it's our special dish.

Did you like it?

It has some prawn and

some water chestnut flour in it, right?

No, it's our secret.

Did he quit the job or was he fired?

He didn't quit nor did I fire him.

He suddenly disappeared one day.

Just suddenly one day in 2008,
he wasn’t there.

Thanks.

Sir, Victor.

Greetings.

Give me the license.

Sir.

Sit.

I am fine, sir.

I said, sit. Pull the stool and sit.

Give him water.

Sorry sir, I am sick,

my wife gave me a medicinal brew.

You picked someone from
Kurla highway today, right?

The drop was to Malad Evershine.

The drop was outside Kumar Chinese.

Then?

The passenger asked me to wait and

came out of the restaurant
in about 10 minutes.

And then i dropped him
back at Kurla highway.

If i make the passenger stand in a lineup,

will you identify him?

No, sir.

To be honest,

I didn't see his face properly.

It was night, it was raining and

he had worn something like a raincoat.

Did you have a conversation with him?

Just a general conversation,
like I do with all passengers.

He asked me about
my income and my family.

Even I asked him what does he do.

What did he say?

He suddenly became serious, Sir.

He said,
‘I do what my father has taught me.’

Eww.

If you want to learn cooking,
you have to do all this, okay?

Teach me something else, Sammit.

When my Baba used to train me,
I had to do all this without a choice.

But why are you calling
grandpa as 'Baba'?

You actually call him 'Papa', right?

Yes. Dad, papa, baba,

all are the same.

But grandpa is a vegetarian.

k*ll it.

k*ll it.

k*ll.

What more do you want to learn?

I want to become like you.

Except one thing,

I don't want to smile like you.

What's wrong with my smile?

When you smile,

you look like this.

Fake smile.

'Remember, eyes, lips, teeth.'

Did he talk about anything else?

Did he say something
or do anything?

Sir, nothing of that sort.

But what's the matter, sir?

Here.

Whenever I call you,
you have to come for the interrogation.

Okay, sir.

Sir,

I..
- What did I tell you? Get going.

Get that copied.

Try it.

What was the hurry?

You have been invaluable to
The Pulse.

Your Crime Exposé vlog
is our flagship.

Cut to the chase, Teesta. Please.

Then I know you are going to give me
some super bumper scoop

about Bala Banne and
his son Abhishek Banne.

No, I am not.

There is nothing as such.

'Quite different from
the Bootwala m*rder case.'

'Yes. Dheeraj Kumar's m*rder follows'

'the exact same modus operandi
of the serial k*lling'

'that took place 17 years
ago in Sarangwadi.'

'The gruesome m*rder that
took place this morning at 3 AM, '

'the CCTV footage of it..'

'The gruesome m*rder that
took place this morning at 3 AM, '

'the CCTV footage of it..'

I am leaving.

Hey listen, I am not finished..

You want the scoop or do you want to
finish the lecture?

Okay, get me something
solid and exclusive.
- Oh, Shut up.

Sammit.
- Yes.

Please, can I do it in my room?

I am getting bored here.

Okay.

But no mischief.
- Okay.

Bye.
- Bye.

What is it?

I need to see you urgently, Abhishek.

I have no urgency to meet you.

You...

Do you want to die?

Hold on.

Hey, hold on.

I want to show you something.

I want to see nothing.
- Take a look for one second, see this.

See this.

'The gruesome m*rder that
took place this morning at 3 AM, '

'the CCTV of that crime is with us.'

The m*rder took place at 3 AM,

and you were with me at that time. Inside.

That means,
you didn't k*ll Dheeraj Kumar.

Then who k*lled him?

Who knows.

But you spoke to him yesterday.

And i told him, the person
who was threatening him

was not Abhishek Banne,
Abhishek is dead.

What about the village chief?

Did you k*ll the village chief or not?

How many times do I tell you?

Sammit,

what is a village chief and
why did you k*ll him?

Caterpillar,

he was our old friend and

I only pretended to k*ll him
and not for real.

Go to your room,

I will be there soon. Okay?

Okay, Sammit.

Bye.

Abhishek, listen to me.

Never come again.

Help me.

So that you can spread
more rumours about me?

Look, we will have to work together.

Someone is after you.

Think, who could it be.

'Now people have started to believe that'

'restaurant owner
Dheeraj Kumar's m*rder'

'that took place at Evershine Nagar
has links '

'with Sarangwadi serial k*lling case
that took place 17 years ago.'

'As per the sources,
we have found that'

'there are possibilities that
serial k*ller Bala Banne's son'

'Abhishek Banne is back in action
after 17 years'

'and has k*lled his first prey.'

You don't have any other work?
Go away.

The victim wasn't a woman and

she was being threatened.

It's not the MO in the Bala Banne case

nor motive.

I disagree, sir.

The pattern is absolutely similar,

which means,
he had the inside knowledge of the MO.

I am sure it's Abhishek Banne,

I'm guessing,
he must've trained with his father.

It's possible.

But where was Abhishek Banne
hiding for 17 years?

Even psychopaths have phases.

May be he was dormant for all these years,

something must've triggered,

he must've lost his mind.

Sir, the threats received
by the victim and

the involvement of Vikas Sarode

are not the signs of
a psychopath k*lling.

Your theories make sense,

what next?

Abhishek, listen to me.

I will return your money.

I will repay it along with interest.

Drop the knife.

k*ll him.

k*ll him.

Stab him, go on.

Stab him, go on.

k*ll him.

k*ll him.

Stab him.

Stab him.

Sammit, Grandma is calling.

She called you to the boutique now.

Let's lay a strong trap
for Abhishek Banne.

Once we get him,
the case will be solved.

We have no leads about Abhishek.

We don't have any
of his social footprints,

he is a ghost.

No Adhaar card, passport, ration card,
bank details, nothing at all.

The only lead we have is

the owner of Sagar restaurant.

And he is ready to cooperate with
the artist to make the sketch tomorrow.

He says he remembers
each and every one of his features.

I’ll just be back.
- No problem.

Finally, you have shown
your true colours.

At last, you committed the m*rder,

you couldn't hold yourself back.

I didn't do it.

Then who?

Who else knows about it?

Sammit, you are destroying
everything and everybody,

including your Ira and Anya.

Nothing of that sort will happen.

I will find out who did it and why.

We are already too late.

Whoever it is,
he will a commit m*rder again.

And you will have to be
one step ahead of Ira,

like we have been
for the past 11 years.
