Stop making such a racket!
I told you we need a bigger vehicle.
It comes for free, right? Asshole.
Move.
There's so much space in here.
Get the torch.
DEVI PRASAD AND SONS
FOOD CATERING
This way.
Idiot.
-Mr. Devi Prasad!
-Vicky!
Vicky, open the door.
-What happened?
-Are you okay?
Open the door.
Sir!
Did you lock yourself in?
We tried getting it open.
What happened, Mr. Devi Prasad?
Looks like he's scared of the dark.
I saw him standing up there
I've already said what I had to.
It was pretty bad.
Careful.
Careful. Slowly.
More on this side.
Give me a minute.
Careful.
-Sorry.
-Rajat, have you lost your mind!
I'm sorry.
Rajat, what the hell are you doing?
Mr. Jaisingh.
I told your colleague everything, sir.
Was there
anyone else here besides you
and Rajat?
Did you see anyone?
It was pitch dark.
-I'm sure you heard something.
-What's this?
Didn't you try to save Rajat?
Of course, I did. Goddamn it!
What sort of question is that?
Please give me back my phone.
I've to make an important call, please.
You're on anti-anxiety medication.
I know everything about you,
and your batch mates.
And I'll unearth what I don't know
like how Rajat died,
and who made the chits
found in Suyash's pocket.
Or
you could tell me instead.
Officer Bedi, excuse me.
This is Mr. Vikas Virmani.
He's the legal counsel
for Nilgiri Valley School.
I'd liked to remind you, Officer Bedi,
we're cooperating with you completely.
And as per your request,
every staff member
and Old Boy will speak to
you individually this afternoon.
But you can't
-harass our clients like this.
-Sir!
-There's another body here.
-Come here.
Yes, sir.
Kabir. Manoj. Come here.
Help Abu.
-Abu. Get that out.
-Yes, sir.
-Start digging.
-Okay.
Dig it out.
Dig here.
Yes. Dig it out.
Move that slab.
Get it out.
Dig here.
At the back.
Take off the rope.
Sir, this is a school uniform.
Seems like a student's corpse.
Get the body out carefully.
Go, get the evidence bag.
Careful.
Clear the mud.
Clear the mud.
Sir!
Something has happened
in the new wing.
They found a child's dead body.
I don't know whose body it is.
There's a body though.
Adu!
Ninad?
We should consult a neurologist.
I spoke to Dr. Gomes.
His hospital is on Market Road.
We must take Vedant there today.
-I'll speak to the Dean.
-Supriya!
The Dean has no time for Vedant.
You have to take this call.
I don't understand
what's going on here.
They're saying they found
a student's body.
If a student was missing for years,
how come nobody spoke about it?
Anyway, I'll arrange
for the gate pass and car.
-Inspector!
-Yes.
Come with me. I'll get you the papers.
Sure.
What happened?
You're okay?
Look, all the parents will be informed.
-I understand.
-Please give us some time.
-Yes, all the children are safe.
-Yeah.
Officer Bedi, please try to understand.
Sending the children home is a priority.
I'm under a lot of pressure
from the parents and board members.
How can we keep the children
and Old Boys in such circumstances?
You guys are responsible
for the circumstances, Mr. Swamy.
Nobody can leave until
my investigation is complete.
Understood?
-Yes.
-Sir.
-Mrs. Sinha, just a minute.
-Within a radius of 100 km
make a list of all males
between the ages of 14-20
-that have been missing for 15 years.
-Sir.
Have you started interrogating
the Old Boys?
-Yes, sir.
-You don't get it.
I need to go home.
-How can I know?
-There's a surgery. I need to be there.
It's very important!
-I've told you everything.
-We must leave too.
I spoke to Dad.
He's sending the car.
-Yes, sir.
-Officer Bedi, what the hell is going on?
You can't keep the Old Boys
and children there perforce.
Sir, two suicides,
and now a dead body.
Sir, you know how an investigation works.
Our lawyer will be here. Don't worry.
We'll be out of here by evening.
Forget about the kids,
but if the staff and Old Boys
leave from here,
the case will be lost, sir.
Malvika Jamwal? Come.
Dean. You can start sending the students.
-Wait.
-Thank you so much, officer.
Not the Old Boys or the staff.
Mr. Iyer and Miss Sneha, please come.
We lost our friend less
than 12 hours ago.
Not one of us
is in a proper state
to answer your questions.
You're bent upon investigating,
but do you know what finding
a child's body on the campus implies?
You tell me.
Jamwals are anyway known
for preaching to others.
Right?
You're fascinated by my surname.
Of course,
link this case to a Jamwal
and make it sensational.
That's why you're bent
on proving a suicide as murder,
instead of investigating
a child's death.
Mr. Jamwal
If you stop obsessing with my surname,
you'll realize
it's your duty to protect these kids.
-Mr. Jamwal
-Stop the interrogation.
Mr. Jamwal, I'm just trying to tell you,
Officer Bedi has given us permission
to send the children home.
You tend to forget that
we're no fools.
I spoke to the magistrate.
We have the court's order.
The staff,
and Old Boys
can't leave the campus.
Do what you will,
but there will be no interrogation.
Good news. We have permission.
Supriya!
That's Ninad's body
they found!
I knew you'd assume that.
But you also said he went missing
from a bus.
-How could he be in the school?
-Who saw him get on the bus?
Vyas?
I'm right about this.
Vedant is none other
than Ninad.
Adhiraj!
You're talking about ghosts
and spirits too?
Can't you see, Supriya?
He knows things.
He can do things.
Haven't you felt it?
I'm taking him to a specialist.
Supriya.
Supriya, you can't save him like this.
I didn't hurt myself swimming.
Ninad was trying to communicate with me.
Ninad had a similar birthmark.
He has it too, doesn't he?
How will you explain that?
Ninad's birthmark on Vedant
and my hand!
-It's a coincidence.
-What about the Shadow Boy?
How did Vedant get hold
of that graphic novel?
You tell me.
Because it's Ninad's story, not mine!
Vedant believes it
because Ninad is fighting for him.
Some things in this world
cannot be explained, Supriya.
I abandoned Ninad once.
I won't leave him alone this time.
I'm going to fight for him.
Adhiraj, stop!
-Ninad!
-Adhiraj, stop!
Ninad!
Ninad!
You can't go ahead.
-Sir
-Let go.
-You can't go there, sir.
-Sir, please.
-Ninad!
-Listen to me.
Let me go.
Ninad!
Ninad, I'm here.
I won't leave you alone.
I won't give up till I find out
what happened to you.
Are you okay?
Miss.
Who's Abhi?
You read the name on a photo
at my place?
That's my son.
He says I shouldn't trust you because
you'll treat me the same
as you treated Abhi.
What did you do?
You know Mr. Chauhan from the bookshop.
Be at his shop in half an hour
to collect the bus tickets.
Yes.
Take the permission slip,
or you won't be able to step
out of the school.
-Yes, ma'am.
-Mr. Chandra Prakash,
please give him a gate pass.
Mr. Chandra Prakash?
Where are you lost?
What?
I think it wasn't Dean Vyas' ghost,
it was the child's ghost that you saw.
-Yes, sir.
-This happened many years ago.
I was new here.
One of our students went missing.
His parents would come every day
looking for their child.
He got on the bus but never made it home.
I don't recall his name.
-Mr. Chandra Prakash?
-Sir!
Homo.
You made Malvika cry.
You need to be taught a fucking lesson.
Everyone will forget you.
Forgotten.
One day you too will
feel powerless, Dev.
Your family and your minions
won't be able to save you.
You won't get to see that day!
Adhiraj!
Adhiraj, get up.
Get up.
Get up!
I'm also looking for
Ninad.
Come on.
Come.
Since that day,
there's only one name on my mind.
Ninad.
You were looking for his documents.
He was my friend.
Everyone went back home
after the last day of school
except him.
The body that was found
at the new wing's construction site
I know it belongs to him.
Now I understand.
How these incidents are
linked to that building
and why Dean Vyas opposed
constructing the new wing.
He knew Ninad was buried there.
That night,
a security guard saw
him wandering in the jungle.
In the morning I saw mud
and a torch lying on the way
to the jungle.
He was petrified.
Construction of the new wing
was to begin the next day.
He was trying to remove Ninad's body.
He ended up provoking Ninad's spirit.
An angry spirit,
waiting to seek revenge for 15 years!
Ninad is punishing his tormentors.
The Dean, Suyash, and Rajat
were all involved somehow.
People will think I'm crazy
if I tell them about this.
Have you read the Mahabharata?
We have
two options in life.
Either you accept your circumstances,
or
Make efforts to change the circumstances.
Adhiraj, you're the only one
who understands Ninad.
Think about it.
What really happened
to Ninad that day?
Vyas didn't take him to the bus stop.
The one who bought the bus ticket
knew Ninad wouldn't board the bus.
It's your responsibility to
bring the truth to light.
I need to get out of here.
I've to collect bus tickets for the kids.
From the shop.
What is this?
I didn't get time to unload.
Open up.
Yeah.
Let's go.
Mr. Devi Prasad, something
big has happened in the school.
-Another Old Boy committed suicide.
-What?
And they've found a dead body
in the school
from long ago.
They think it was a student.
As per the court's order,
nobody can enter or leave the campus.
I hope the names of all the 25 Old Boys
are on the court order.
Yes, we're on it, sir.
Mr. Jamwal.
Mr. Jamwal?
We'll get you out of the campus,
one way or the other.
Don't worry about that.
Dean Swamy, I'm not worried.
I won't flee in fright.
I'll leave right in front of Officer Bedi.
Let him try stopping us.
Nothing is going to happen.
I am assuring you.
It's a very safe experience.
It's very important to believe,
that everything will be fine.
Please have a seat.
I'll see you in a while.
"Mors non est finis."
Death is not the end.
After my daughter passed away,
I too was lost.
I didn't understand it then,
but now I believe
death is not the end.
If you ever feel like talking.
Not to me,
but to the ones you lost.
I can convey your message to them.
Supriya? Supriya?
Supriya!
All done! Our nursery is ready.
It's perfect. This is for you.
Thank you!
Welcome home, Abhi.
Oh, my darling boy!
Such tiny hands!
Look at the camera. Ready?
Three, two, and one. Smile!
Very good.
Supriya?
Supriya!
Supriya!
What happened, Supriya?
Shut up!
Where are you lost?
I'm really worried about you and Abhi.
These are all serious symptoms
of postpartum depression.
-You need to visit a psychologist.
-I'm his mother!
-Careful.
-I know what I'm doing, okay?!
Supriya?
Where's Abhi?
Sleeping?
Abhi, baby!
Son.
Abhi, baby!
Abhi?
Abhi?
Abhi?
Abhi
Abhi!
Supriya!
What have you done?
Abhi?
Abhi.
Abhi!
What's happened? Shit. Shit!
Abhi.
Brother Ani!
Brother Ani!
-Call for help.
-Supriya!
-Hurry up.
-Supriya!
Thank you, ma'am.
-Mr. Chauhan?
-Yes?
I'm Adhiraj Jaisingh, 2007 batch.
-Col. Jaisingh's grandson?
-Yes.
-I need to ask you something.
-Yes?
Do you remember Ninad Raman?
He was my batch mate.
-Raman's son.
-Yes.
It was wrong of him to run away from home.
On the last day of school,
he bought some
ribbons from my shop.
He never paid for them.
Mr. Raman offered to pay,
but I refused.
I want Ninad to pay for it.
Mr. Chauhan,
you sold bus tickets back in the day,
right?
Yes.
I'm sure Ninad's ticket was also
purchased from here.
Yes, Devi Prasad came to buy it.
I remember it because
he met with an accident that day.
He was smeared with mud
and came in limping.
No, it wasn't me.
Coach Vyas went.
Someone else bought the ticket.
Coach Vyas asked me to run an errand
that day.
I met with an accident
on my way back.
Dean Vyas
considered you his lucky batch
because right after your graduation
he was appointed as the Dean.
Did you meet Devi Prasad?
He's a caterer now.
The Dean, Suyash, and Rajat
were all involved somehow.
You're the Sword of Honor,
and she's a teacher's daughter.
And you being Dev Pratap Jamwal
are jealous of us?
-Not done.
-Dev passed out.
Now, who will reward you
for running errands?
Nobody will check
your shoes today, my boy.
Bunking again?
What really happened
to Ninad that day?
You were eyeing Malvika all along,
but she liked Adhiraj.
That's how you consoled
a weeping Malvika!
We saw it on the last day. It's fine.
Dev was wiping Malvika's tears.
The one who made Malvika
cry will pay for this. Ninad!
You made Malvika cry.
You need to be taught a fucking lesson.
Hurry up.
Get out of here. He will kill us.
Hurry up.
The puppies had to die
because the dog
had to be taught a lesson, Miss.
Vedant?
They all have to be taught a lesson.
Stay away from Vedant.
You can all go home tomorrow morning
except for these people.
Parth, Imaad, Tenzing,
Adhiraj, Dev, Malvika.
On what basis, sir?
I've answered all your questions.
Malvika!
-We need to leave.
-What's wrong, Dev?
Dude, where are you going?
-Your name's on the list.
-I don't care.
Jamwal,
I'll arrest you.
For what? What have I done?
What has anyone here done?
You don't need to feel threatened
by some low-ranking officer.
The car will be here in five minutes.
Just get in
without saying anything.
My lawyer will deal with him.
The cops are checking all the vehicles.
This route leads to the admin block.
-Go, be careful.
-Thank you!
-I want all officers at the gate.
-Sir.
You can't stop us.
I'll get the car.
Please wait here, okay?
Officer,
just make sure no one goes
in or out of the gate.
Arrest him if need be.
Hello, Supriya?
Supriya!
Dev Pratap Jamwal
cannot be allowed to leave the school.
Dev Pratap Jamwal
cannot be allowed to leave the school.
We have information
that his cars are reaching the gate.
Do not let the cars
inside the school grounds.
I repeat. Do not let the cars
inside the school grounds.
Dev, stop!
Dev, stop!
You'll die if you step outside the gate.
You saw him, right?
That's why you're running!
Because you're scared.
Suyash, Rajat, and you not only
assaulted Ninad but killed him.
Hence, you came running
to Vyas in the assembly hall.
You didn't want a fake slip,
but his help to clean up
your fucking mess.
Dev, confess before everyone.
Or he'll kill you today.
I didn't do anything.
You're fucking crazy!
If I am crazy, Dev
I dare you to step out of the school gate.
There!
My cars have arrived.
Watch me.
What the fuck?
Sir, please come to the gate immediately.
Mr. Manohar, be with the kids.
Everyone inside, go.
Dev!
Dev!
Hush little baby, don't say a word
Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird
And if that mocking bird don't sing
Daddy's gonna buy you a diamond ring
Hush little baby
Don't say a word
Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird
And if that mocking bird don't sing
Daddy's gonna buy you a diamond ring
