Let's just end this!
Mamma…
-No, Mamma. -Shut up.
Shut up!
Rita!
Don't… don't!
Come with me. Come with me!
I am scared!
Don't be scared, Rita.
-Your future is bleak. -Please stop it.
You will amount to nothing!
-Mamma… -Bloody disgrace!
Source of my unhappiness.
-Let's just end this. -No, Mamma.
ECHO
Atharva,
go get cola from the shop downstairs.
One bottle or two?
One.
Three.
Go running, and come back quickly.
Eat slowly.
Don't act like my mother.
Your mother must have been a great cook.
Cooking chicken, pork every day.
-Aren't you a vegetarian? -I am.
Then why are you chewing my brain?
You'll miss me when I'm gone.
Fine. Go.
I won't.
I've cooked well, haven't I?
My mother didn't like me.
Nonsense.
That's impossible!
Not everyone is able to express their love.
You, for example,
have you ever told me how fond of me you are?
Even once?
What all are they saying about me on the internet?
My mamma always told me,
"Rita, you ruin everything."
I was eight years old.
I had to give a speech at my school's annual day function.
Mamma got me ready in my white uniform and white shoes, but…
I wasn't interested in the speech.
I wanted to go along with my dad to his band practice.
So I went and started jumping into a muddy puddle outside the house.
I thought… at most Mamma might scold and hit me,
but she wouldn't send me to school like this.
You know what she did?
She came to me and said,
"You dirty girl, Rita.
You dirty, filthy girl.
You ruined this as well.
Look at me, Rita. Look at me, Rita!
You do this on purpose, don't you?
Don't I deserve any happiness, Rita?
Who are you punishing? Me? Or yourself?
Say…
You're just like your dad. Useless.
You useless idiot, Rita!
Just like your dad, you're useless. Idiot!"
She sent me off in that exact manner.
Uncle, you'd get so angry, right?
When I used to call you "uncle".
Who is cleaning your mess now?
Filthy, discarded…
trash.
Want something to eat?
To drink?
Sajid will be here soon.
Before that, let me know if you want anything.
One last wish.
Sit straight.
Sit straight!
Rita, you won't get a week's time.
It's not possible.
The media and the Home Minister both have gotten out of control
At most, you have today.
I need proof. Solid proof.
Will…
madam get suspended?
Who knows?
Pressure is there for sure.
She had come to my house one day.
She came to your house, too?
I… I really am stupid.
She's probably thinking of you right now!
Madam…
I'll have to tell her, right?
Yes, madam?
She's dead.
She was killed in a shootout.
Did she die in pain?
Why would she do that, Sajid?
You both did it together, didn't you?
Can I see her once?
Tell me, why would she do that?
You wouldn't understand, madam.
What won't I understand? Tell me.
She had only one good memory…
What good memory?
What good memory, Sajid?
Tell me.
With you, darkness turns to light
My eyes fill with dreams
And the sky dissolves in sweet celebration
I'll remember this… all my life.
Me too.
You owe me one.
-Hello? -Hey, listen.
I got an exclusive, but don't quote me this time.
Sajid has been shot by Rita ma'am.
He's at the government hospital in critical condition.
-What?! -Yes.
If you want to see him, come fast.
Yes, sure.
What?
Yes.
-Okay. -I'm just using the washroom.
She has gone to the washroom. Just wait for my signal.
Madam, you go there.
-Gore, come. -Let's go.
Go that way.
Mhatre ma'am, Mhatre ma'am, come in.
It's her, sir.
It's all here.
Rita, the ministry has just sent me an official order
to set up an inquiry commission immediately.
You will have to step down.
I won't be able to do anything until this cools down, I'm sorry.
All I need is a day, sir.
Please. Please just manage one day for me, sir, please…
Rita, listen…
Sir, we're very close. Please, sir.
Listen, Rita. It's out of my hands.
Please hand over the case to Vikram.
This is an order.
Follow it immediately.
Shit.
Madam…
Answer the phone, Mhatre… please.
The number you have dialed is currently unavailable.
The number you have dialed--
Yes?
-Open. -Jai Hind, madam.
Jai Hind, madam.
She's alive, isn't she?
It's a tough decision, but it had to be taken.
DCP Rita Ferreira has been suspended with immediate effect.
She's at the center of a scandal…
facing serious allegations for drug addiction
and using her office for obstructing investigation.
Ma'am…
the body is being taken for a postmortem.
If you want to…
I'm sorry, ma'am.
May you be protected from the evil eye…
You'll miss me when I'm gone.
I'm not happy with this either, madam.
What?
-I'm not as bad as you people-- -Who all?
Everyone.
I'm also just doing my duty.
Well, Deshpande sir asked me to take the handover…
I won't give it. Leave.
You're getting personal, madam.
Very much.
Madam, someone is here…
with a parcel for the children.
Who sent it?
Someone named Rita.
Rita ma'am?
Hello? Rita ma'am. I just wanted to say thank you.
And all the girls wanted to as well. For your lovely gift.
For what you've just sent.
Thank you.
You think you're very smart?
DCP?
Oh, sorry. Ex-DCP.
Do as I say.
Get Sajid here.
I want to see him.
This was your idea, right?
Then let's do it properly.
Know what these girls told me?
"Madam doesn't keep her word.
She didn't even get our mothers here."
I replied, "No. Madam always keeps her word.
She will bring Sajid here."
You will, won't you?
You have an hour.
I want you and Sajid here in an hour.
If even one police car is seen…
Hear that?
If even one police car is seen,
then all the children you saved will die in front of your eyes.
Then you can roam around proudly with your medal.
Check. Check.
All girls come to the dormitory immediately.
I repeat… all girls come to the dormitory immediately.
-There's no problem. -Tell us what's wrong.
Nothing is wrong, stay inside and be careful.
Tell us what's wrong.
What's wrong?
Come on.
Come on, come on, come on, open the door.
Shut the door.
Shut the door now!
Don't worry, everything will be fine.
Have you lost it, Rita? Do you know what it means?
You can take the credit, I'll take the blame, sir.
Think about the optics.
You're crossing the limit, Rita.
I guess for once you are speaking to me as an officer, sir.
Not as a woman.
Don't mess it up, Rita.
Come on, get up.
Let's go. You have a checkup.
Don't be scared.
Don't be scared. I'm right here.
I have come to save all of you.
I told you, your teacher is a liar.
She won't let you meet your mothers in this lifetime.
They trap you with their sweet words, these rascals.
They're all the same.
They keep you alive and act like they're doing you a favor.
Soon…
all of you will be set free…
forever.
Sleep, my dear, sleep
Tomorrow a new day will come
A sweet dream is on its way to you
Close your eyes and dream
Sleep, my dear, sleep
Dream about good things
Our dreams will come true
The fairy tale will come to life at night
You want to see her alive, don't you?
Sleep, my dear
Sleep
Speak?
Anant…
Sajid?
Hey, have you eaten?
See…
Listen to me.
Listen to me. Don't do this. Just surrender.
Okay?
Know what, if this is what you want to say, don't come here.
Don't come.
I'm doing so much for you, but you don't appreciate it.
What do you think you're doing, Sajid?
Anant, look, there's still time.
Please don't do anything.
Hey, don't cry.
Don't cry, everything is fine.
I am absolutely fine, really. You just come.
Come, we have to go very far, Sajid.
Come quickly.
Anant, listen to me, there's still time.
Anant.
Sajid!
Why is he handcuffed?
Open it.
Hurry up.
Sajid, handcuff her.
Sajid put the handcuffs on her.
Do it properly. Lock it.
Empty her pockets, take everything out.
Where are the children, Anita?
They're in my team. They'll come when I call them.
They are children.
Let them go.
They'll go. We'll all go together.
Don't do this, Anant.
Don't do this.
You went through--
She hit you, didn't she?
See what I do to her now.
-Bring her inside. Come on! -Anant.
Anant… Listen…
-What is it? -Let's leave from here.
Let's leave.
We will leave together after we finish her.
-No… -One last time…
Stop it. Let's leave, Anant. Let's go.
-Sajid… -Yes?
I have an idea.
There is a medal in this room.
Let's shove it in her mouth.
-What are you even saying? -Go! Take her with you.
Go, get the medal.
Walk!
Children, see, your teacher is here.
Teacher, please save us. She has locked us inside.
Shut up!
Sit down!
Sit!
Listen.
Do whatever you want with me, but let the children go.
Pretending to be so caring, aren't you?
We'll go. As I said, we'll go together.
-Please, Anant. -Don't call me Anant.
What?
Why are you smiling?
Sajid won't leave with you.
What did you say?
He told me everything.
You're playing a game, right?
I'll have to shut you up.
You're playing me, right? What did he say? Tell me.
Everything.
Sajid!
She said you told her everything.
-Listen… -What did you tell her?
-Listen to me. -What did you tell her?
Listen…
Shut up!
Be quiet!
Do you want to die?
Sajid?
Listen to me. Don't do this, Anant.
-Kill her, Sajid. -No…
You told her everything? Kill her.
If we kill her, it'll all be over.
-Kill me, Sajid. -Be quiet!
-Shove the medal in my mouth. -Have you lost your mind?
-Want to eat bhurji-pav? -Just shut up!
-Want to eat bhurji-pav? -Listen to me.
But I don't have my wallet with me!
If we kill her, it'll all be over. Please listen to me.
Listen, Anant…
Mamma!
-Mother! -Mamma!
-Mom! -Mamma!
I'm not a very good person, but…
I always keep my promises.
If you want to meet your mummy, eat!
I'd made a promise to the children…
I have to fulfill it.
If I don't do it now, it'll be too late, sir.
Have you lost your mind? Do you know what it means?
Let go!
Mother!
Help…
-Mother… -Quiet!
Help!
Be quiet, or else I'll chop you.
Mother!
Sajid. Please, Sajid.
Please save us!
Sajid…
Sajid--
Don't do this, Anant.
Drop the knife, Anant.
Sajid!
Help us!
Sajid!
Sajid.
Let her go. Let go!
Let me go. Let go!
Sajid, let me go!
Sajid…
Be quiet.
We were never meant to find peace.
Help us!
Move aside.
-Teacher's here… -Teacher!
Sajid, why don't you understand?
These people manipulate us for their own benefit.
Didn't you do the same with your Sajid?
Sajid! No!
Sajid, let go of my hand.
Sajid!
Sajid, let go of my hand.
Sajid, my hand…
Sajid, let go of my hand! Sajid!
No, no, no. Sajid…
Move.
Sajid…
I'm right here. Sajid!
No, no, no.
Sajid…
No…
Come on. Out!
Hurry up.
-What about you, teacher? -Go.
Meenal, just go!
The end.
No!
Rita!
These hazy memories
Arrive silently
They wander through tangled paths
Never finding their way back
Burning in the ashes dampened
By the gentle falling of the rain
I've been waiting to speak for so long
Thirsty eyes keep searching on
I wonder when that secret unraveled
In my breath
It is lost somewhere
It is lost from somewhere
Who knows if it will
Ever return
Burning in the ashes dampened
By the gentle falling of the rain
Move aside! Move aside!
Ma'am…
She's alive.
Let's go.
Move. Be careful.
-Move. This way. -Be careful.
Rita ma'am…
One question, Rita ma'am…
Rita ma'am…
Mom.
Mom, look at me dance.
Look at me, Mom.
Look at me…
Look, Mom… I did it.
-Atharva… -Mom…
-I did it, Mom. -Atharva…
-Look, Mom… I did it.
Mom!
ONE MONTH LATER…
Hello?
Hi.
Can we talk, Adi?
