Can you please show me those?
Babban.
Show her.
I had both of them on when we left Munger.
But I lost one by the time we reached Delhi.
Looks good on you.
Let's go. It's time.
Deepa, wait inside.
I'll take Grandpa to the Doctor, okay?
The heater is on.
Close the door, it's very cold outside.
Shall we, Grandpa?
Let's go.
Grandpa!
Open up!
Grandpa!
Open the door!
Has Bela di not woken up yet?
Actually, Bela went home last night.
I didn't tell you outside because I wanted to talk to you…
Alone.
You came to my office?
Yes…
Someone in my hostel said there's a job opening.
Oh, I see.
Okay.
I see.
Then why did you ask for me?
I thought it might help if I gave them your reference…
See, that's the problem.
It's not the truth.
You are lying.
Because you told the receptionist something else.
You said you were looking for my…
Gwalior address.
Why did you think I'm from Gwalior?
I'm sure Bela told you I'm from Delhi, and…
I don't understand. Why go to my office
and ask for my Gwalior address?
Why?
Because you know me from Gwalior.
- What? - You know me well.
Sorry?
You were with those guys that night.
Which guys?
Nakul…
Nakul Bhaiya.
I'm… I'm sorry.
Madhuri, right?
- Madhuri… - You know my name!
Of course!
Of course, I know that you're Bela's friend, but that's it.
I don't understand what--
You know what stalking is, right?
What?
Okay, first of all, calm down.
I don't have any idea what you're talking about right now.
Please. Please sit down.
Just a second.
Bela's friend.
Easy. Yeah.
Easy. Be careful.
- I'll do this. - It's okay, Pa.
Let me help.
Come.
Easy, easy. Do not put pressure on it. Yeah.
Easy, easy.
Hey!
Sorry.
Easy.
My father.
He had a fall yesterday.
Lift my leg.
I brought him from the hospital this morning.
You didn't make my morning tea.
I did, Pa.
Liar! You are lying.
You drink it and don't give me any.
I'll make another cup.
Where's my heat pad?
Can you please pass me the heat pad?
Can't you get anything right?
- Just a sec. - Useless fellow!
One sec, Pa, I'll get it.
Thank you.
Papa has dementia.
He's very temperamental.
You saw, right?
Sugar?
Fuck.
You used to stalk me when I went to classes.
I was born and brought up in Delhi.
I've never been to Gwalior.
I've never met you.
I've never stalked you.
And I've never assaulted you.
Nakul…
I heard that name that night.
Okay.
If you don't mind,
when did you remember that name?
Was it before,
or was it after Bela told you about me?
I…
Bela told me
that you had no idea who those guys were.
Here's my card.
Let me know if I can be of any help.
We should catch a cab.
It'll be here any second.
Just give it five minutes.
We'll save time in a cab.
- Look, it's here. - Happy now?
It's here. Let's go.
Cab! Bus!
- What was I thinking? - When will it stop?
Let's go.
Come.
- Come. - Thank you.
Are you okay?
- Let's go for a movie. - Hindi?
Hi.
- Hi. - Hi.
I'm Madhu.
I'm new here.
I'm Annie.
- This is Sarla. - Sarla.
Which room?
333.
The one on that side.
- Oh, it's that one. - Poor girl.
I am sure the warden hasn't told her.
Seems so.
- Excuse me! Hi. - Hi!
Sarla, chutney?
Chutney…
When did you move in?
It’s just been a few days.
I didn't see anyone around last night.
Oh.
Actually, I work nights at a call center.
And these girls also have night shifts.
- But you've run out of luck. - Hey!
Come, sit inside.
- Sit. - Come, sit.
Listen, there's no point complaining to the warden.
They never let anyone stay in that room.
And what about the girl who used to live there?
Well…
Anu was their good friend.
They don't really talk to anyone anymore after her death.
Did she die in my room?
No! It was a road accident.
They were a tight-knit group.
The third floor was their hangout spot.
But since Anu passed away,
things have changed.
They wander around the hostel all messed up.
Yeah, I've seen them. That pregnant lady…
Yeah, Rima.
You know she has a six-year-old daughter?
I think they're crazy or something.
Rajesh…
- What? - You done?
Done with what?
Filthy creature.
All you do is stare all day.
Who stares all day long?
Bullshit! Who does all the work then?
Just like I said.
Look at them.
Listen, go get yourself some breakfast too.
Okay.
Move.
Hey, sis, I picked it straight from the tree.
Do you want a slap?
What are you doing here?
We've been to so many doctors,
but she hasn't found any relief.
None of the treatments seem to work.
She only feels a little better after we visit you.
Jeeva's mom is here.
Whenever we ask her to eat,
she says she feels nauseous.
She can't take care of the kids anymore either.
I'm really worried…
The pain just doesn't stop.
You should pray,
ask for forgiveness, and say your goodbyes.
You don't have much time left.
I've already done everything I could do for her.
Babban.
Wait here.
It's a nice business.
First, you feed them poison
and then give them the message of God.
There's a ton of money in smuggling scorpion oil.
I heard it goes for
500,000 rupees per gram.
Where have you sent my son and why?
He's your child.
You're the one who raised him.
I can't possibly know Jeeva better than you do.
As for my patients,
why don't you ask them what I do for them?
Give it a rest.
You can sell poison to these folks
if it comes wrapped in spiritual fakery.
And what if I consume the same poison too?
You were the one up there, right?
Yes.
How long have you been coming here?
What's up?
What's happening?
- I'm Constable Ilu Mishra. - Yes, ma'am?
Since when have you been seeing this hakim?
It's been two months.
I brought her here when the hospital couldn't help.
What happened there?
Show me your wrist.
Let me see it.
Sometimes the doctor cuts here
and takes out some blood.
Why?
To keep her illness in check.
- Can we go now? - Hold on.
You can go.
The Narayana police station has been calling.
They're going to label your son as a runaway.
Sir, I sent my son back to our hometown.
He ended up getting malaria there.
I've been trying to contact him, but…
You know the kind of trouble he's going to be in now, right?
Yes, sir.
Sir, do you remember that serial killer case
where all victims were female,
and their blood was drained?
Has another body been found?
No, sir.
My friend told me that someone in her hometown
does the same thing to practice black magic.
Can we reopen that file, sir?
We just had a similar case in our area.
The body was found at Sanjay Van.
She is breathing.
She is healthy and strong,
and I'm ill and weak.
My flesh…
has begun to rot.
The stench of death draws close.
I devour the souls of these angels to stay alive.
Get up!
I couldn't get hold of her spirit.
Again?
I need to search for a wounded soul.
I'm done disposing of corpses for you.
Find someone else.
Babban.
You're on your own now.
I can't arrange more girls for you.
Babban.
And your phone's been ringing non-stop.
It's some woman.
Did you go to visit someplace?
There's a girl there…
she's going to get very sick.
I need her.
Madhu, do you mind?
No, it's okay.
Come!
The power socket blew up again?
Every day something or the other breaks.
One day this hostel will only break.
So, Annie, how was your night shift?
Busy?
You are sick, Poorti.
Sarla, tell no.
What "tell no"?
Don't be silly, Poorti.
We don't have time for all this.
Do you know how much work there is on the night shift?
Whatever. I'll tell you.
So, Annie has a crush on the MRI Tech.
Hey!
I don't do all that bullshit, okay?
And if you have to change bedpans all night then you will know.
Idiot. Tell her to shut up.
Calm down.
Fear is a response.
A kind of warning. It's like a signal.
The bigger the threat we perceive,
the more we try to protect ourselves.
But what if we can't see the threat?
Exactly why I said the word "perceive".
It's what you feel.
I remember reading that negative thoughts
increase negative emotions in us.
They cause more pain.
Yes.
But the more you try to suppress the memory of that incident,
that trauma will return with all the more intensity
in some other form.
Okay, tell me something.
You used words like "fear" and "anxiety"
to express your current state of mind.
But when you talk about your assault,
you use words like "pain" and "hurt".
So, help me understand.
Is it fear that you feel when you think of your rape?
No.
I feel disgust…
and hate.
And most of all, anger.
What about fear?
When do you feel fear?
When I'm alone.
Like in my hostel.
In my room.
Hi.
Your mom just went downstairs.
I was looking for you.
Please, don't make me watch another horror movie.
I'm actually getting spooked now.
That's why I brought you this.
Use it.
What is it?
Kiara!
Pepper spray?
What's up?
Oh, nothing…
I take steroids for my workouts, so…
Sorry.
Why do you need to bulk up so much?
I like you just as you are.
Well, I don't!
We came here for Grandpa's treatment in the city hospital.
Then my wife and I went back to our village for harvesting.
When they found her body,
they called us here to identify it.
Where's your grandpa?
He's no more.
Okay, but he must have said something about your daughter.
What happened, where did she disappear?
Did she run away?
Tell me?
He sold her!
Shut up!
Talking utter rubbish!
Hey, let her talk.
Do you know who he sold her to?
I don't know his name.
Everyone calls him Doctor.
He killed our daughter in a ritual sacrifice.
Ever since his potion cured my father's cough,
he started trusting the guy blindly.
Nobody knew who he was.
No one had ever seen him.
A young boy would come to deliver the medicine.
He would always meet Deepa.
Who was the boy?
Can you identify him?
Is that him?
Yes! That's him.
He used to come here.
Who is he?
What's up there?
The terrace.
What happened over here?
We just want to get out of here.
Tell us how to do it.
And we're broke, by the way.
Neither do I need money,
nor do I have the time to spend it.
I just want one thing from you.
The girl who stays here…
Send her to me.
Why?
I have my reasons.
No!
Lana!
Are you okay?
How dare you!
How did he get in here?
You idiots brought him here?
This is my hostel,
not your shady clinic!
Guard!
Throw him out!
Stop!
Please, stop!
At least tell us what happened in there.
Rima's about to give birth.
She'll die if she stays here. Please.
We'll have to use that girl as a medium.
Will you be able to do that?
What do you mean?
We'll have to harm her?
If your conscience won't let you,
then turn back.
The road ahead won't be easy.
Tell me what we need to do.
When instead of her own reflection,
it is the entity that stares back in the mirror,
When fear runs through her veins like a fever rising,
when she is hollowed out,
that's when you must bring her to me.
Come in.
Hello, ma'am.
Svetlana got some witch doctor into your room today.
He wrecked the place.
Wrecked it?
Why?
What's their problem, ma'am?
They've been wanting me out of that room since day one.
I've given them enough hell for it today.
Now, please don't go up there and start a fight with them, okay?
Everyone knows about it.
I bet you've heard about it too.
Their friend died a few months ago, and all this craziness started after that.
I've changed the lock.
Take the keys.
I found your shirt in the bathroom.
There was a broken button, so I fixed it.
Didn't see you around, so I thought…
Thank you.
You've done up the room nicely.
Why don't you come in?
Don't mind,
but the stain on the shirt…
I know exactly what it is.
Been on one too many packed buses myself.
There's only one way to deal with such creeps.
Stick it to them next time, right there…
Rima di, I got you some tea.
It's piping hot.
You remember which one's mine, right?
Yeah.
I don't have sugar, you see.
What should I do with this cup?
Lana's passed out already.
Such a waste. Throw it.
Wait, don't throw it. I'll have it.
Okay.
Madhu…
We didn't mean to mess up your room.
To us, it still feels like Anu's room, you know?
We felt it's important that it's cleansed.
Right, Rima di?
Madhu, the healer we called was pretty great.
I don't know if he cast a spell on us or this room,
but everything feels back to normal again.
What's wrong?
Is the tea bad?
No, just a little bitter.
I hope you didn't accidentally give me the one with sugar.
No way! This one has sugar in it.
- Shall I add some more? - No, it's fine. I'll have it.
Cool.
Is this a wedding or a freaking circus?
It's an engagement party.
Baby!
- Hi! - Hey, easy…
- Hi, Bela di! Congratulations. - Hi.
Thank you.
- Hey, Arun! How are you? - Good.
Guys, drinks!
She doesn't drink.
No, I do drink occasionally.
Oh!
Hey, it's okay.
You drink, right?
Come, come, come.
Baby, take care of her, okay?
Come.
What are you drinking?
Beer?
Beer? Fuck beer! No!
Nakul, so sorry for that day.
- Actually, I… - Hey, it's fine. It's okay.
Just a second.
Waiter!
Have fun and forget about it.
- Oh my, God! Hi! - Hi!
He's quite protective…
your boyfriend.
First time?
It's okay, it's okay.
Just go easy.
I'll be back.
Okay, hi, guys!
Hi!
I have a story to tell you.
About me, and this man over here, Nakul.
- Madhu, let's go. - Hold on…
Where?
Arun, stop. Where are you--
My perfect soulmate!
Arun, listen…
Listen…
Listen to me.
Arun, listen…
Not in here.
Arun, please.
Arun, not here.
Listen…
Stop!
I didn't say no.
I just wasn't comfortable there.
The other day you said…
that till we're together,
we'll never be able to get past that incident.
It's true, I can't forget it.
Right here…
It feels like I can't breathe.
I feel anxious.
And I don't have resources like Nakul and Bela.
If you want to break up with me, just say it.
Don't make excuses!
I'm saying you deserve someone better!
Good to hear.
Can we go now?
Arun, please…
Wait, wait…
Hear me out, I know you will walk away after that.
Listen…
Remember that picture you sent me?
From backstage?
Before the event?
I forwarded it to a friend of mine.
Saying…
"Look.
That's my girl.
I'll take her to the old lab today,
and we'll have a real date."
That asshole forwarded it…
to the entire group.
And…
They knew where to find us, Madhu…
because I told them.
Just for a cheap brag…
I ruined everything!
Damn it!
