Sume, give me money.
I want alcohol, Sume.
- I don't have money. - You have it.
- I don't have money... - You have it, Sume.
You completely messed it up, didn't you?
Why did you take advantage of me when I wasn't aware?
Just give me the money, Sume.
No...
I told you there's no money.
- Sume, give me money... - Stop!
Move aside.
- You... - Don't...
Mom, I'll beat him.
Don't hurt him.
- Shut up, you! - Don't do that.
Don't do that. What are you doing?
- There's nothing. - I want money.
Don't do that.
That's the only food we have.
Don't... What are you doing?
Look what you did.
Are you hurt?
Are you hurt, son?
- What are you doing? - Money...
May you rot in hell!
That's all the food we had.
What will we eat now?
Let me go.
Mom,
Sankasur punished him.
Him.
Bhide...
Go inside and check.
Be thorough.
Go.
Mrs Kadam, are you here on picnic?
- There's a woman inside. - Yes, sir.
Wait, Bhide.
I can't get Raghu out of my head.
Sir, but it was a woman's DNA.
What about the letters he had?
Sir, the man mentioned in the letter died two years ago.
It could be a co-incidence.
Yes, maybe that's what it was.
Dhumal,
doesn't Raghu seem crazy to you?
- He was always the village fool. - Yes.
He's a simpleton, a coward.
You mean a coward can't commit murder?
I mean, a woman's DNA...
Sir, anybody could've killed taking advantage of this tradition.
I agree.
The pattern of killing sinners was broken this year.
Rajan was a nice man, sir.
He helped the villagers...
Got it.
I'll have to handle this.
Mrs Kadam, come with me.
Others wait here.
Have tea.
You haven't eaten since morning.
Have a sip.
I'd like to speak to her
if you permit.
Go.
Poor woman lost her husband
two days ago.
Be gentle...
Sit.
Sarika...
Sarika Rajan Nimkar.
The victim, late Rajan Nimkar's wife.
Right?
Mrs Kadam,
please start.
Start what, sir?
Can't you even ask basic questions?
Yes, sir, I mean...
I'll do it.
Your name.
Sarika Rajan Nimkar. It's done.
Next.
Where are you from?
Mumbai.
Love marriage or arranged marriage?
Arranged.
How was your relationship with your husband?
I mean,
did you love each other after marriage?
Things were normal.
You have no kids
yet there's a baby picture on the wall.
How was your love life?
What do you mean by that?
- No, sir... I just... - Wait outside.
Wait outside.
Vishwas,
so sorry.
I know you're mad at me.
But I was helpless.
Dad brought me to the village and...
Hey...
Quiet. Quiet.
I kept telling myself you're happy.
All I wanted was for you to be happy wherever you are.
Bloody hell!
You were not happy.
They found you a rich husband, a perfect match
yet you were not happy.
You should've told me about your troubles.
I had no troubles.
Everything was fine.
You're lying.
You always hide things.
I can see it in your eyes.
Did he have an affair?
Vishwas!
He's dead!
He was murdered.
No,
Sankasur punished him.
Do you really believe that?
- Doesn't matter. - It matters to me.
This is a murder investigation
not a magic show.
Please!
Sorry.
Look, he was murdered.
I'm here to find out why.
Why do you want to know?
Why?
Vishwas,
given our past,
don't get deeply involved into this like you always do.
What are you scared of?
Are you doubting me?
Yes.
Let me be clear. You are a suspect to me.
I have evidence against you.
This is just a murder case to me.
Don't think otherwise.
Tell me the truth.
It's not too late.
I'm telling the truth.
This is true.. Listen, Vishwas.
Why drag this matter? Just drop it.
I'm not dragging the matter.
What are you looking?
Listen, Vishwas, who knows what really happened!
Are you doubting me?
You know, right? I can't just do anything for anyone.
You know me, and you're on my side...
Vishwas, please listen.
Some things are meant to be understood.
And some things are meant to be let go.
You shouldn't be getting involved in this.
Vishwas, please listen.
You didn't listen to me. Listen now.
Hey, listen to me!
I really haven't done anything.
What are you doing here?
- Why are you here? - I work here.
Lies.
- No. - Is this your work, you liar?
No.
Out with the truth.
Sir, what are you doing?
That's Raghu, he works here.
He's a simple man. Don't harass him.
I work here.
Wait.
I...
Sir!
She's my sister.
Hello, Roshan.
I'm sending a sample.
Compare the DNA and revert.
I beg you, sir...
- She's innocent. - Sister...
- Sister, I didn't do anything. - Let her go.
Please madam...
Let her go.
I'll tell you the truth, Vishwas.
Sankasur kills sinners.
But sometimes good people seem evil
while evil people pretend to be good.
Who are decking up for?
- What is this? - Nothing like that.
Who are you decking up for?
- Who are you decking up for? - Stop it.
You dare to leave me!
He was an alcoholic.
He'd get drunk and call me barren.
He'd abuse me.
I was ill treated like animals.
Doctors told him many times
the problem was with him
but he couldn't accept it.
- Am I impotent? - No...
Am I impotent? Am I impotent?
Am I impotent?
I would have come to you this Holi, sister.
He got drunk on the night of Holi.
He beat my sister mercilessly.
I saw from afar for a long time
but I couldn't bear it any more
so I went and held his hands tightly.
- Leave me. - He bit me!
He refused to let go.
And then...
What's up with you?
The food will get burnt.
Check the pressure cook.
Looks like the case is getting interesting.
Anna, not today. My mind is a mess.
Because of who?
Rajan or his wife?
Anna, why do you take interest in my cases?
Son,
all my life I worked as a clerk.
It was my job to arrange the officer's desk.
Now my son is solving real life cases.
No wonder I am intrigued.
So, you'll give me advice from a clerk's perspective?
I've witnessed many a cases like these.
I've heard and seen it all.
All my life I have been extremely alert and aware
It's hard to tell which life experience
will be of help.
Just remember, Vishwas,
experiences never go waste.
Anna!
Go on, I'm listening.
What do I say?
I have no evidence against the suspects.
And the evidence we have
are pointing towards people beyond my imagination.
Sarika?
Her sister
Sonali.
Why are you doubtful?
Sankasur's pattern
doesn't make sense here.
Sankasur pattern?
How long has this been happening?
15 years.
First three cases were registered then nothing.
I've hit a road block.
Did you study the case files thoroughly?
Sometimes cases in the present have
their roots deeply embedded in the past.
Sir, Sonali?
Bhide,
sometimes cases in the present have
their roots deeply embedded in the past.
Meaning?
Sankasur pattern.
Bhide,
any discovery in the first three cases?
Sir, wool samples found in the first two cases
did not match with
Sankasur's dress in the first three cases.
Sir, Sankasur costumes worn in Devtali
don't use wool so there was no match.
There is no sign of wool to find a match.
Beard and moustache are made from wild cow's hair.
Dhumal, you said whip is made from nylon cloth.
Right.
What is made from wool, Dhumal?
Sweater.
You moron...
Which part of Sankasur's costume is made with wool?
No idea, sir.
Who would know?
Shafique tailor, sir.
Waist 18
Don't you eat properly?
24
What do you want?
Shafique, he's my boss.
He's here for investigation.
What investigation?
I lost a customer.
Listen,
just answer his questions.
Dhumal, this is peak season.
I don't have time for this.
Mrs Londe's brother-in-law is getting married.
I have to stitch 5 blouses.
If I don't finish by tomorrow, she'll give me hell.
Forget the blouses...
Forget it.
What do you mean forget it?
She can't go without a blouse!
What rubbish!
Dhumal, don't be cheeky.
Shafique, mind your tongue.
Sir has questions about Sankasur's costume.
What?
Sankasur's costume.
Your speciality.
Sankasur's costume!
Now I get it.
How many costumes do you need?
If the client is from Mumbai,
I'll charge double.
No arguments.
You see, better clear things...
Tell me,
do you use wool in Sankasur's costume?
Many things are included.
Sankasur's costume is a work of art.
I'm doing this since 10 years.
It wasn't a personal choice.
My guru
Nemade guruji
taught me this skill with a smile.
There are many details
but it doesn't concern you.
Do you use wool?
Not in Devtali
but the costume differs across villages.
Some villages use 7 woollen tassels on the mask.
We use three tassels that are made of cloth not wool.
Different village, different styles.
Kamble, not down the village names.
Give us the names.
Khadapli, Ramwadi, Palner...
Wait...
Repeat the names.
- Khadapli... - After that.
- Ramwadi? - Then?
Palner.
Only these villages use woollen tassels.
There's a man named Dhadwe in Palner...
Listen...
Dhumal, listen...
He's admitted in the hospital.
Ragya!
Where are you?
Ragya! Open the door.
Coming.
He's here.
I'm here.
Sir, it's you.
The whole team is here.
Come in.
Uncle Dhumal, please come.
Come in.
I'll get a mat.
No, thanks.
Had I known you were coming,
I'd get extra milk for tea.
Raghu, we are not here to have tea.
We..
Make some tea please.
Shouul I?
But I don't have enough milk.
Black tea will do.
Sure?
I'll make it.
Not just tea
I'll get some snacks.
I'll get something savoury.
I'll be back.
A fine example of humanity.
Snacks.
Please eat.
Yes.
Dhumal, onion?
Humanity.
No thanks.
Sure?
I'll make tea.
Please share it.
I'll be back.
I'll be right back.
- Please have a seat. - Eat.
No thanks.
Humanity?
Keep talking to him.
Yes.
Ragya, this is delicious.
- Loved it. - Yes.
- How is your health? - All good.
Take care.
- Dhumal? - Yes.
Why go inside?
What did you say?
Nothing much.
Times have changed.
Yes.
But I must say
Shimga is fun only in Devtali.
I agree.
Sir...
What are you doing?
What are you looking for?
Bhide, send the mask for testing
and keep watch on Raghu.
Yes sir.
We'll arrest him once we have strong evidence.
Yes sir.
