I'm thinking of buying her a mobile phone as a gift
Well, I got you all this stuff you asked for mom's birthday.
You should find a box in the garage.
Nice.
I'll be calling the cream point for the cake then.
Hold on a second.

It's a text from doctor's office.
My physical examination report has been mailed.
Take a look when you get a chance.

Freezing outside.
You mind coming in?
Sure.
(Door closing)

Please come.
By the way, did you check the coolant?
Oh yeah, I did.
- Its freezing.. let me turn on the heat.
- (Light flickering)
(Wall clock ticking)
I'm not sure how much water you need.
Probably a gallon, I believe.
Okay, have a seat.
Thank you.
Where do you live?
I live in downtown.
I knew about the city
When people had these advanced thoughts
Wife likes city and she works for a city school.
Nice. Family man, city life.
- Hope you're enjoying it. Well,
- can't complain.
Would you like to have some cup of coffee or tea?
- Let me get you some tea.
- That's okay, you don't have to.
(Light blinking &
Suspence music)
Here is your tea.
- Please have it.
- Thank you.
[Group of people laughing sound]
It's a beautiful house.
Very good taste.
So does the tea.
Really nice.
This was built by my father.
He treated people with compassion.
Unfortunately, I consumed a bit less of it.
But, I was fortunate to keep myself warm.
With laughter, joy and family.
You know what?
There is something more bigger than family.
Sorry?
Family itself.
(Laughing)
(Warm piano music)
That is so beautiful.
(Suspence music)
Which one?
That poster on the wall.
(Clock ticking)
(Suspence music)
It's very beautiful. And attractive.
Of course it is.
It's my collection with full of memories.
[Group of people laughing sound]
Looks like there is a gathering going on.
I don't want to hold you up for long.
I'll make a move.
These gatherings never end.
I host and manage them with care.
As I keep welcoming them to add.
To add happiness and joy, my son.
Like you did.
(Cynical laugh)
I will make a move.
Thank you for everything.
Sorry I didn't catch your name.
Loki. Lokanath.

Hey Shravs.
How are you?
How was your day?
Good?
Where have you been?
I tried calling you a couple of times.
Car issues
Uh, not again.
I know.
(Cooking sounds)
(Water pouring sound)
Satya, why don't we get rid of the car?
I spoke to my brother.
He could get us a good deal.
We'll see.
By the way, did you hear anything
from the Foundation?
No. How was your day?
Ask me about it.
I was driving in the valley of 70.
It was freezing.
This man helped me with water for car.
It would have been worse, you know,
if he refused to help.
His name is Loki.
Very nice man.
You know, There is something,
something interesting about him.
It's already late Satya.
Let's have dinner.
Go and freshen up.
(Sighing)
(Electric trimmer running)
(Water running from tap)
(suspence music)
(Cynical laugh)
It's delicious.
Satya, why did you go towards I -70 West?
were you doing dope again
No! Never.
I told you. Ask Loki when we meet him.
Why would I meet him?
See, Shravs
There are very few good people in this world.
Let's stop by tomorrow and
give him some Plants from our nursery
and say thank you.
I thought you were having addictive fun again.
Shravs
Really? You don't believe me?
Satya, Satya listen.
I'm sorry, I've been badly missing you since morning.
Look, Shravs.
I promised you that I would never do it again.
Do you trust me?
Alright, leave it.
Movie night?
Movie night?
Movie night?
Come on!
No!

Hey Vishwak, good morning.
Hey, good morning.
Here's the hairstylist file you're looking for.
- Hope you find everything
- Great.
(File lifted and put on the table)
Nice.
Mani!
I'm expecting someone today.
Okay.
It's gonna be a busy schedule.
(Door opening)
Excuse me!
Hey Saavi Varma.
- Hi.
- Welcome.
Thank you.
Thanks for coming.
- You wanna have something?
- No.
- Are you sure?
- Yeah!
That's my partner, Detective Maniswamy.
And I am Detective Vishwak Tej..
I'm gonna record this conversation
for purpose of investigation.
Although you gave all the details over the phone,
I'm interested to know what happened in detail.
He was acting different.
He told me about this guy and
spoke about how nice
and kind the man was to help him out that night.
Place them tight.
I don't want them to fly off rare on shield.
I'm driving.
(Footsteps approaching)
(Car door opening)
Okay. No speeding alright?
(Car engine starting & revving)
Sorry about last night Satya
I did upset you a bit.
That's alright.
Watch out!
Don't break with your left foot.
I told you it's dangerous.
No worries, I won't.
I wont break at all.
Saavz!
(Car engine revving)
(Bright peppy music)
Okay. Where is his house?
I'm looking.
Maybe further down.
Keep driving.
Not here, not here.
It should be somewhere around here.
Stop stop stop
(Car engine stopping)
- (Car door opening)
- What the hell?
(Car door closing &
Footsteps)

(Suspence music &

Satya!
Satya!
(Suspence music)
Satya!
(Suspence music)
(Clock ticking noise)
Savi!
(Footsteps running & approaching)
Look at this.
This is the same object that
I saw in Loki's house last night.
This is one.
But where is the house?
This butterfly object.
I don't know what is wrong.
I don't see anything.
Believe me, this exact object.
I don't know what is wrong,
but I can't fucking find the house.
This butterfly?
Satya... Are you crazy?
Saavi , Im not kidding alright!
Satya, you can pick any object over here.
I'll believe your story.
Saavi try to understand please.
Hey, hello, excuse me.
There should be a house right here.
Loki, Loki's house.
- Here?
- Right here.
Loki!
I've been running all my life on these streets.
I haven't seen any house here.
- Are you sure?
- Sure.
(Footsteps running)
Thank you.
Baby, you did it.
What do you mean by 'I did it'?
I need to know where the fuck you were last night.
Oh come on, not again Savvy.
Savvy, listen.
Believe me.
Believe me Savvy.
I was right here last night.
Wait, wait.
Let me show you the nearest gas station receipt.
(Opening dash board and papers rustling)
Savvy I can explain
You fucking liar.
(Car engine starting)
Damn it.
He couldnt locate the house.
I'm so not sure if he was lying to me.
(Sighing)
It's been three days.
I... I heard some sound that night.
(Footsteps climbing down steps)
Satya?
(Footsteps climbing down steps)
Satya?
I'm not sure he left the house or somebody
might have kidnapped him.
(Sighing)
He never returned home after that night.
Mani!
Got it.
So you were with him at the house
and he couldn't locate it, right?
He looked so confused and going in circles in the plot.
He acted so strange and he
showed me an object and said,
he saw that previous night in Loki's house.
What object?
Uh... butterfly object?
(Door opening)
Vishwak!
You know what?
I've checked call logs of Mr. Satya.
And I don't fucking see any calls from his wife.
That night and last night.
Really?
Yeah. I guess there was never a fucking house.
Also, this guy Satya was questioned once before
by a cop about a joint cigarette holders in his car.
I think he'll come back when he's sober.
Or this lady must be hiding something.
I guess this is all fucking waste of her time, Vishwa.
I guess you're thinking too fast.
But let's go and see if you're right
or the lady's fraud.
Okay.
(Foot steps &
Car door opening)
(Vehicles moving on road)
So Vishwak. This is the entry to the valley.
(Bird squeaking)
We have many people gone missing beyond this point.
And this case, Vishwak?
(Bird squaeaking &
vehicles passing)
You know.
(Vehicles passing)
(Eagle squeaking)
(Vehicle engine coming to stop)
(Vehicle doors opening & closing)
(Suspence music)
(Lighter clicking &
vehicle passing)
(Footsteps approaching)
Are you sure?
Yeah, I was right here.
He was wandering around.
(Foot steps)
perhaps a good place to start Mrs Varma
(Bright music)
What do you expect to find?
(Bright music)
(Suspence music)
(Searching in the grass)
(Clock ticking sound)
He showed me an object and said,
he saw that previous night in Loki's house.
- What object?
- Butterfly object
(Foot steps)
Mani!
Mani!
What? There's nothing out here.
It's an empty fucking piece of land.
Look at this.
This is the same object that I saw in Loki's house last night.
(Foot steps)
That's exactly the same object.
Satya showed it to me the last time.
Oh God!
Which means he might have come back here.
I just think something foul happened to him.
This is fucking strange.
What could have made him come back here?
This fucking empty piece of land.
(Switching on the projector)
Mrs. Shravya Verma.
I want to show you the list of people who went missing
on Interstate 70 west in the past five years.
We have collected all the evidences since then.
And nothing gave these case a right lead.
Aditya Chandra, truck driver.
Prashanth Reddy, surgeon.
Revathi Iyer.
Student.
Nithina Sharma, IT professional.
Akhil Arya, hairstylist.
Photographer.
Christopher Das, contractor.
Looking at all these evidences closely.
I'm sorry to say this, ma'am.
Your husband Satya Verma falls in the same cluster.
Mr. Vishwak is assisting us on this case.
And he has taken charges recently.
(Mobile ringing)
Sorry.
(Mobile ringing)
Hello.
Yes, this is me.
Sorry, I can't talk to you right now.
Can I call you back later?
So, do you recognize anyone other than your husband?
No.
May I know who was on the call?
It was a call from foundation.
Nothing much.
What foundation?
Satya does some voluntary work at this place.
Since he was a child.
He was an orphan.
We met in community meetings.
Okay.
(Suspence music)
Orphan! Orphan!
Mani!
(Pushing the laptop on table)
Can you check if anyone else on that list is an orphan?
(Opening the laptop and typing)
Bloody hell.
We have three in count.
Aditya Chandra, Prashant Reddy and Satya Verma.
(Suspence music)
(Thumping on the table)
We need to execute a plan with an orphan
from the same foundation.
Excuse me.
I don't even know if these are
related to the investigation.
Officer, this is bullshit.
How are these things related?
(Footsteps in pace &
Door opening)
(Weeping &
wiping tears)
(Door closing)
(Foot steps)
I'm so sorry, officer.
I. I love him more than anything in this world.
Can you bring him back?
Look,
So you can't.
Sorry, officer. As I see these people
went missing for so long.
I'm scared.
This case can never be cold to you.
But truth takes time.
Can you at least tell me
what must have happened to him?
Will do our best.

Hi. Sorry to bother you.
My. My car just broke down.
Can't get it to start.
Could you please help?
(Suspence music)
Why don't you come in?
Please come on in
where were you heading?
(Suspence music)
(Chair pulled back on floor)
(Light flickering)
(Build-up music)
Welcome home. Satya.
My Copper.
(Cynical laugh)
(Train blowing horn &
running on the bridge)
Vishwak!
This town is in the middle of mountains.
And this side is tunnel and tracks.
There is no way that somebody can come into this town
except driving over that bridge.
(Suspense music)
(Suspense music & birds chirping sound)
(Paper turning sound)
(Music mutes the voice)
We were grilling every card
every place and every cell in our brain.
(Music mutes the voice)
(Light metallic music & paper turning sound)
Do you think are there any surveillance cameras here?
There are few stores and houses in the valley.
(Bright music & train running on the bridge)
I highly doubt it.
I'll check that out.
(Placing the file on the table)
(Footsteps sound)
I was facing hypersensitivity for the first freaking time.
Triggering all my senses towards making sense of
senseless things in this case.
(Suspense music)
Hey Vishwak.
This is Mani.
Im taking an orphan guy to the plot in the valley.
I'll let you know if I find anything.
(Vehicle passing)
(Car engine revving)
(Car door opening)
(Car door closing)
(Suspence music)
Boy!
Let me know anything you see, hear, smell and taste.
Any fucking usual unusual thing.
You go this side.
(Suspence music)
Wait!
It is just unusually fine.
(Suspence music)
(Footsteps crunching)
Excuse me.
Hello? Hello?
(Hovering sound
Hello? It's a warning.
(Suspense music)
(Footsteps crunching)
Get the Fuck out now.
(Suspense music)
Hello?
Who's that?
Hello?
You need to get out.

Hello!
Freeze!
Raise your hands.
Get onto fucking ground now.
(Suspense music)
I said. Freeze.
(Suspense music)
Easy, man.
Easy.
(Suspense music)
Are you okay?
I'm all right.
I did not find anything, man.
I think we should leave.
(Gun twisting & Cicadas chirping)
(Cicadas chirping & Eeri suspence music)
Listen, I don't think we are on the right direction.
What do you mean we are not on the right direction?
There was nothing out there which
could help us with this case.
Mani.
You came back exactly with what I wanted to hear.
I guess you need some sleep.
I need to know which way you are thinking, Vishwak.
So that I can get my bloody fucking sleep.
So you knew there was nothing out there?
Yes. There was nothing out there.
except for my blood for little hungry mosquitoes.
But I appreciate you confirming it.
I don't need your appreciation, Vishwak.
Let's say you got a lead all by
yourself on this fucking cold case.
You think somebody ever cracked a clue
or solved a puzzle without talking leads?
We are fucking cold case Bureau here.
(Music)
I don't understand.
Why are we so interested in Satya's case?
I don't get it.
Task Force is waiting for this case, Vishwak.
Cold cases are like this cigarette, fresh until
they're sparked with new evidence.
(Lighter click sound)
Did you even look at the file
details about missing hairstylist?
That's a good question.
Glad we have something important to talk.
Mani!
There was an interesting clue in hairstylist case.
(Paper turning sound)
Look. He receiving threat calls.
Freaking interesting clue.
Glad you figured it out.
(Suspense music mutes voice)
(Chair creaking)
Fuck.
(Lighter click sound)
This case, Vishwak.
I've seen myself and many others getting old.
But not getting old with it,
I guess you should talk to Mark.
(Eeri suspence music)
(Door knocking)
(Door opening)
Good morning, Mark.
I have something important to discuss.
Is everything okay?
Hm...
(Door closing)
I have few interesting details of all missing cases.
We have put all the information we received from
task force to match some patterns.
Good observation.
This is not in, Mark.
This case is not about orphans anymore.
Then what the fuck is it?
(Music mutes voice)
This is very important, please.
What if...
What if all this internal investigation business fails?
What's next?
I have confidence in my sources to get
all the information I need to solve this.
Mark...
All I need from you is a restriction order.
(Suspense music)
I still want you to bring back Satya and
have no one else follow him.
Thanks, Mark.
(Footsteps sound)
(Suspense music)
Restriction order.
That's good.
(Phone vibrating)
I'm fucking hungry.
(Phone beeps)
Hello.
Hey.
We can meet now?
Yep. You can come to office.
Sure. I'll see you in a bit.
Mrs. Shravya.
She's on her way.
I think it's time to tell her the truth.
(Light metallic music)
So officer, do you have any information about Satya yet?
I believe this case is some such darker story.
Trying to deal with all these missing cases is
probably the single most difficult thing I have to do.
Period.
Mani!
(Soft music)
Looking closely into Akhil Arya's case.
A hairstylist.
We found some interesting clues.
You mean he receiving threat calls in the past?
(Snapping fingers)
Exactly.
Why? Why a hairstylist would receive threat
calls asking for his blood?
He must be a special guy.
Maybe fucking donor or something.
His blood.
He has a rare blood group.
The Golden Blood, Rh-null.
That's my husband's blood group.
Not just your husband, Mrs. Verma.
Christopher Das, Nitina Sharma.
Nitina Sharma, Akhil Arya, Christopher Das.
(Suspense music)
Who all went missing, had the same blood group.
But if I'm right, that night, your husband.
(Suspense music)
(Door opening)
(Light metallic music)
Satya!
Satya!
Satya!
There is someone who's either kidnapping
or killing people with rare blood.
As I always believe.
It's a blood game.
So hard to believe this game
being played with my family.
(Phone vibrating)
Excuse me.
Hey. Can I expect you early today?
Hopefully.
It's mom's birthday Vishwak.
Try to be here.
All right!
All right then.
Hope to see you soon.
I also checked your blood results.
Blood pressure is a bit high.
Too much stress is bad Vishwak.
you do know you own a rare blood group?
I know.
(Light metallic music)
(Suspense music)
(Car horn honking)
(Light metallic music)
(Car window glass sliding down)
It looks like a beautiful day.
Glad I'm witnessing it.
How is it going?
Same old.
Eat, sleep and search.
Do you like real or fusion?
- What?
- Coffee.
I like instant.
(Soft romantic music)
There is yours, instant with insane amount of sugar.
Thank you.
How was your tour?
I've been a mad adventures traveler ever.
That wasnt bad then.
Vishwak, I'm not a reckless person who
enjoys doing dangerous things.
(Suspense music)
You push me do it.
What happened?

Hi. Sorry to bother you.
My car just broke down.
Can't get it to start.
Could you please help?
Did you check the coolant?
Hmm, not sure about it.
Why don't you come in?
(Suspense music)
Not sure how much water you need.
Hmm! Probably a gallon should be good.
Please have a seat.
Thank you.
Where were you heading?
I was heading to the town in the valley.
Let me get you something to drink.

Her car broke down.
She's been looking for the restroom... ...restlessly.
Slithering like a snake.
Curious as wolf.
Looking for it with a big owl like eyes.
(Footsteps sound)
- Your tea
- No thank you.
I've been getting some calls.
I have to go.
What the heck?
(Suspense music & water splashing sound)
Damn! I'm running late.
Nothing can get late so soon.
Here's your water.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Excuse me.
And you, you're still in your comfort zone?
Come out of your cocoon, copper.
you left the can under the tap.
You wasted all my water.
And...
(Footsteps sound)
(Breathing heavily)
(Screaming loudly)
It was just... It was just a terrible experience.
(Car passing)
(Suspense music & writing sound)
(Footsteps sound & Suspense music)
(Door opening)
She is Mara.
(Footsteps sound)
Detective Manishwani.
Mrs. Shravya Verma.
But as I was telling you both, she met a person
who could be a suspect.
This guy, it sounded like he knew
what was happening around
and he was constantly anticipating something.
Can you give us more details?
What can I tell you?
I was scared to death.
Did you see this man out there?
Yes. He was the one who opened the door.
(Suspense music)
My...my husband is alive?
So how are we going to bring him back.
How does the old guy look like?
Grumpy!
He had different expressions of language and everything he
said had a joke but the jokes weren't funny.
Mani!
Can we have a forensic artist to sketch this man.
Mara will help in identifying the suspect.
I will have him come tomorrow.
(Footsteps sound)
Mani!
I spoke to County for land records.
Get those reports and start your investigation
with old registration files.
In the same community, same area and same street.
I want to know if there was anyone alive who could
tell us more about the property.
And the...
O... L

Welcome home... Satya.

Hello!
Hey Vishwak.
Yeah. This is Mani.
I'm at the county's office.
Nice!
We are able to get through all the files.
Any leads...
According to county records,
there was this house long time ago.
That's good.
I got some lead about this family who lived
on the same street during the same time.
I'm meeting one of them

- I'll keep you posted.
- That's fantastic.
- Alright?
- Yes. -Bye.
Take care.

(Car door opening)
(Knocking on the door)
(Suspense music & footsteps sound)
Hello?
Is anybody out there?
(Suspense music & footsteps sound)
Hello!
(Cutting the wood)
Hey!
Shiv, this is detective Mani Swami.
- Nice meeting you.
- Thanks for taking my call.
Before we proceed any further,
do you mind if I record this conversation?
- Can I get some water first?
- Sure.
(Suspense music)
Can you give me some information that was interesting to you?
That seemed usual, unusual...
while you were growing up in that area?
The valley was beautiful.
Everyone were friends with everybody.
Especially my grandfather.
(Footsteps crunching)
Do you remember roughly how many houses
were there in that valley?
There were a few houses in the valley.
But our house was close to the church and the Mahal.
Mahal?
Which was lost in the fire.
(Suspense music)
Mahal, what do you mean by loss?
It was destroyed in a fire accident.
(Fire crackling)
You see nothing today.
(Suspense music)
It's an empty fucking piece of land.
Why?
Can you tell me more about this house?
(Footsteps sound)
If I remember correctly,
my grandfather always talked about
the family of the Mahal.
Owners of that bungalow
adopted my grandfather's friend.
I don't remember his name,
but he was a butterfly collector.
Butterfly collector?
He picked up butterflies, moths
and caterpillars from the yard.
And treated them as pets.
I remember this story, right?
Because every freaking time
I saw a butterfly with my grandfather,
he always told me about the dangerous
side of these vampire moths.
My grandfather said his friend,
At the Mahal, fed, blood,
wine to those butterflies.
They must have hated him.
In fact, they loved him.
And never left him.
Well, these stories may just be stories.
But as a kid, I found it very interesting.
Do you know anything about this
family at the Mahal?
Where they must be now?
Any of them are alive now?
Do you know anything about them?
Well...
There was a talk.
The boy was lonely.
Parents were very busy.
They never cared about his happiness.
And after the tragic incident,
we never saw them again.
The boy and the butterfly farm...
(Fire crackling)
were burnt in the fire.
Turned to ashes.
How old was your grandad back then?
He said he and his friend were just like me
when I was 10 years old.
So I guess they were 10 years old back then.
Okay, thank you
Thank you Shiv.
(Suspense music & footsteps sound)
Shiv, if you don't mind me asking one last thing,
what is your date of birth?
(Suspense music)
May be this is it.
(Suspense music)
This must be it.
This should be the lot.
(Car door opening)
(Light metallic music)
Mahal! mahal! mahal!
There you go.
(Light music)
[Bhagavad Gita shloka]
(Suspense music)
(Light metallic music)
Good morning, Mara.
What do we have today?
Laugh...
antiques.
ambience...
Tea!
(Door opening & closing)
Really?
Hey, guys.
I guess we have a breakthrough.
I was backtracked the date of birth of the person
that I met to his grandfather's date of birth.
Interestingly, it matches with the
property that existed there.
According to old property registration
files at the county's office.
And the entire story shiv narrated to me
was this guy who lived at this
property was a butterfly collector.
Interesting.
Feeding blood and wine to butterflies.
Guys. Seemed fucking psychopath to me.
That is correct.
The whole story has something
to do with these butterflies.
I heard him saying this to Satya.
My copper.
Get out of the cocoon.
You left the tap open.
Copper is definitely a butterfly classification.
It sounds like some freaking process.
(Music mutes voice)
(Suspense music)
Guys.
There are many butterfly theories.
Some see them as human souls.
Few believe they are symbol of rebirth.
But to me they are symbol of change.
Could be a symbol of transformation.
A caterpillar changing to butterfly,
copper, cocoon.
All these clues relate to evolution of butterfly.
(Eeire music)
Well,
Is it people with the same blood group
just being given butterfly names?
Or is it people with the same blood group
being trapped as butterflies?
This is a complete mind fuck.
Maybe he's kidnapping people with same blood group
and having them follow the process of metamorphosis.
Like you said, transformation.
(Chair creaking sound)
Then Satya must be in a state of hibernation.
Assuming this is true,
how long does the process take?
What process?
Coming out of cocoon as a butterfly.
On an average of ten days.
We have Satya missing since 20th.
It's been seven days so far.
(Door opening)
we have the sketch ready.
We cannot compromise on security of Satya.
We have to bring him back safe.
We have to proceed with caution.
(Suspense music)
That's him.
(Suspense music)
Now the big question is, how can we get him?
I'll get him.
But how?
We did not find this in the field.
In fact, it found us.
What do you mean?
- I'm one of them.
- Wait.
You both belong to his blood.
We do, but how?
Wait.
Hey, Vishwak.
You can be passionate about your job,
but not crazy about your death.
What's the plan?
Butterfly.
(Energetic beat music)
(Suspense music)
Hey, Copper, can you turn on the radio please?
(Suspense music)
(Romantic song playing on the radio)
Shravy...
(Glass hitting sound)

(Romantic song playing on the radio)
Shravy...
Hey, you ok?
Come here.
Come on.
Copper.
Are you okay?
Come here.
Come. Please Come.
Calm down.
Sit.
Is everything okay with you, Copper?
- Please.
- All right?
Please leave me.
Relax.
Calm down.
Relax, relax.
Skipper!
(Footsteps sound)
have some tea.
You will feel better, Copper.
Thank you.
How are you feeling now...
my copper?
No, I'm not your copper.
Relax.
Satya Verma.
I have a family.
And that is the only family I have.
I understand.
I totally understand. Look at me.
Please...
Look at me, my son.
Are you treated any less here?
Look at me.
I'm smiling in a great way.
To make you seem more comfortable
with very less effort.
(Light music)
You may believe that I am your enemy.
However, that won't make you mine.
Our personalities and characters are same.
We belong to the same nest.
I'm here for so long looking for people like you
to be part of this household.
(Music)
My life and death was easy to me.
In between, living myself alone...
(Music)
was difficult.
It just.
It just went unnoticed.
(Fire crackling)
I experienced no pain.
When I was left burned in a fire.
I knew.
I knew I was never taken.
I still remember the sound of my crackling bones.
(Fire crackling)
The roasted smell of my flesh.
While this is happening, I was raising from my own ashes.
But this time.
This time to create my own world of blood.
Set me free.
Please leave me.
Please let me go.
I can't.
I can't leave you.
But only can love you.
Nothing else matter.
I beg you.
Please.
I'm not going to hold you here.
I'll let you go if you wish,
(Music)
Wait...
(Suspense music)
(Knife drawing sound)
I'll let you go...
But you know what, Copper?
Sorry, Satya.
Like two butterflies flying.
Following each other.
Representing undying love.
I will follow you.
Let me go.
(Breathing heavily)
(Blood dripping from hand)
Let me go.
(Music)
Don't try to stop me.
Let me go.
(Blood dripping from hand)
(Suspense music)
You are not real...
You are not real...
(Suspense music)
Let me go.
You are not real...
You think so?
You're not real.
(Knife falling down)
(Suspense music)
(Low beat music)
(Energetic beat music)
- This is Mark,
- Did you look at my proposal.
- Mark,
- your story has no evidence.
I cannot approve this officially.
I'm sorry, Vishwak.
You're on your own.

Hey, sorry to bother you.
I have an emergency.
My car broke down.
Can't get it to start.
(Lights flickering)
Freezing outside.
Do you mind coming in?
Please.
(Fire crackling)
(Suspense music)
Where were you heading?
I was heading up north.
Looks like a beautiful palace.
Yes, it is.
I smell butterflies.
Is there a farm around here?
I'm surprised.
I thought I'm the only one who enjoys the smell.
I run a farmland. I smell and yell at these creatures.
You're a person with good taste.
Let me get you some tea.
No, I'm good, thanks.
Just this.
Do you have a phone? I need to make a call.
These phone lines has been a problem for a while.
What's wrong with your car?
Did you check the coolant?
You may be right.
I'll take water.
I'm trying to be quick before
my butterflies freeze to death.
Are they in a car?
You mean the butterflies are in the car?
Yeah. I have the hybrid ones from my conservatory.
Are you serious?
In fact, I can give you a few for your farm.
I love to have them.
- You, Mr...
- Vishwa...
yourself?
- Lokanath Loki.
- Nice.
Can you help the disabled now, please?
I'll get your water.
(Suspense music)
(Lights flickering)
Here is your water.
Thank you.
Get the little ones inside.
I will.

(Reviving music)
Go! Go!
Get this!
Get those butterflies!
Copper!
Go! Go!
Get me those butterflies.
(Laughing)
Get them to me.
(Suspense music)
I'm taking him.
(Light reviving music)
Stop.
You cannot do that! Stop!
(Light metallic music)
What is meant to be will always find its way.
Loki, nobody can be alive for you.
Nor you can be alive for anybody.
Stop what you're doing.
I'm taking him.
No, you cannot take him.
From here on, I will make sure nobody
will cross your path to be a butterfly
No. No.
No.
His destiny is to be with me.
I wish you peace, Loki.
Goodbye.

Sathya!

Oh my God...
Sathya It's you.
(Music)
Love you
Love you...
Thank you
You alright?
Good!
(Light reviving music)
Find anything that is unusual to create
some evidence to close this case.
Sure.
Vishwak!
Vishwak!
(Footsteps sound)
Well...
I understand the whole story except for two things.
What? What is it?
See, I understood you, Mara and Satya
You belong to the same blood group.
That's why you are able to see Loki.
But why the fuck someone followed me when me and that
orphan boy were searching in the area?
Don't understand why he followed me.
I don't have his blood.
Sorry, have to tell you.
It was me.
(Footsteps crunching)
The game was on when Mrs. Verma
said she couldn't find the house either.
I wanted to make sure she was right.
And I was going after you.
Spotting the house that night.
I'm alright.
I do not find anything man.
I think we should leave.
(Music)
That was me.
Not just you.
I was even following Mara.
(Music)
I was spying my own spy.
I was following her when she read books.
Went out to eat or dance.
I followed her.
(Light music)
(Car beeps)
Because...
I do not want her to follow Satya.
Damn it!
Fuck you Vishwak!
Another one.
Why the hell only Satya got trapped?
Not even Mara.
It was all in the tea Mani.
Your person with good taste.
Let me get you some tea.
No, I'm good. Thanks.
Let me get you something to drink.
There was something that was bringing them back.
The only different thing Mara
could do was not drink the tea.
- Your tea.
- No, thank you.
I've been getting some calls.
I have to go.
(Light metallic music)
(Lights flickering)
Would you like to have some cup of coffee or tea?
Let me get you some tea.
(Metallic music)
Here is your tea.
Have some tea.
You will feel better copper.
I'm not your copper.
Let me go.
You're not real.
Loki trapped all those who had his blood,
believing they were part of his family.
(Spitting out the drink)
Satya was a new lead.
Awaited patiently to crack down unsolved cold case.
(Light metallic music)
And if you ever get to stop by Loki's nest,
unless you want to become his family member,
never ever...
sip tea.
He did not pick up the call.
I think we should head back.

Well, I got you all this stuff you asked for mom's birthday.
You should find a box in the garage.
Nice.
I'll be calling the cream point for the cake then.
Hold on a second.
(Mobile incoming beep)
It's a text from doctor's office.
My physical examination report has been mailed.

Alright, gotta go.
Talk to you later.

I'm not sure how much water you need.
Probably a gallon, I believe.
Okay, have a seat.
Thank you.
Where do you live?
I live in downtown.
I knew about the city
When people had these advanced thoughts
Wife likes city and she works for a city school.
Nice. Family man, city life.
- Hope you're enjoying it. Well,
- can't complain.
Would you like to have some cup of coffee or tea?
- Let me get you some tea.
- That's okay, you don't have to.
(Light blinking &

Here is your tea.
- Please have it.
- Thank you.
[Group of people laughing sound]
It's a beautiful house.
Very good taste.
So does the tea.
Really nice.
This was built by my father.
He treated people with compassion.
Unfortunately, I consumed a bit less of it.
But, I was fortunate to keep myself warm.
With laughter, joy and family.
You know what?
There is something more bigger than family.
Sorry?
Family itself.
(Laughing)
(Warm piano music)
That is so beautiful.
(Suspence music)
Which one?
That poster on the wall.
(Clock ticking)
(Suspence music)
It's very beautiful. And attractive.
Of course it is.
It's my collection with full of memories.
[Group of people laughing sound]
Looks like there is a gathering going on.
I don't want to hold you up for long.
I'll make a move.
These gatherings never end.
I host and manage them with care.
As I keep welcoming them to add.
To add happiness and joy, my son.
Like you did.

How are you?
How was your day?
Good?
Where have you been?
I tried calling you a couple of times.
Car issues
Uh, not again.
I know.
(Cooking sounds)
(Water pouring sound)
Satya, why don't we get rid of the car?
I spoke to my brother.
He could get us a good deal.
We'll see.
By the way, did you hear anything
from the Foundation?
No. How was your day?
Ask me about it.
I was driving in the valley of 70.
It was freezing.
This man helped me with water for car.
It would have been worse, you know,
if he refused to help.
His name is Loki.
Very nice man.
You know, There is something,
something interesting about him.
It's already late Satya.
Let's have dinner.
Go and freshen up.
(Sighing)
(Electric trimmer running)
(Water running from tap)
(suspence music)
(Cynical laugh)
It's delicious.
Satya, why did you go towards I -70 West?
were you doing dope again
No! Never.
I told you. Ask Loki when we meet him.
Why would I meet him?
See, Shravs
There are very few good people in this world.
Let's stop by tomorrow and
give him some Plants from our nursery
and say thank you.
I thought you were having addictive fun again.
Shravs
Really? You don't believe me?
Satya, Satya listen.
I'm sorry, I've been badly missing you since morning.
Look, Shravs.
I promised you that I would never do it again.
Do you trust me?
Alright, leave it.
Movie night?
Movie night?

I'm expecting someone today.

Excuse me!
Hey Saavi Varma.
- Hi.
- Welcome.
Thank you.
Thanks for coming.
- You wanna have something?
- No.
- Are you sure?
- Yeah!
That's my partner, Detective Maniswamy.
And I am Detective Vishwak Tej..
I'm gonna record this conversation
for purpose of investigation.
Although you gave all the details over the phone,
I'm interested to know what happened in detail.
He was acting different.
He told me about this guy and
spoke about how nice
and kind the man was to help him out that night.
Place them tight.
I don't want them to fly off rare on shield.
I'm driving.
(Footsteps approaching)
(Car door opening)
Okay. No speeding alright?
(Car engine starting & revving)
Sorry about last night Satya
I did upset you a bit.
That's alright.
Watch out!
Don't break with your left foot.
I told you it's dangerous.
No worries, I won't.
I wont break at all.
Saavz!
(Car engine revving)
(Bright peppy music)
Okay. Where is his house?
I'm looking.
Maybe further down.
Keep driving.

(Footsteps running & approaching)
Look at this.
This is the same object that
I saw in Loki's house last night.
This is one.
But where is the house?
This butterfly object.
I don't know what is wrong.
I don't see anything.
Believe me, this exact object.
I don't know what is wrong,
but I can't fucking find the house.
This butterfly?
Satya... Are you crazy?
Saavi , Im not kidding alright!
Satya, you can pick any object over here.
I'll believe your story.
Saavi try to understand please.
Hey, hello, excuse me.
There should be a house right here.
Loki, Loki's house.
- Here?
- Right here.
Loki!
I've been running all my life on these streets.
I haven't seen any house here.
- Are you sure?
- Sure.
(Footsteps running)
Thank you.
Baby, you did it.
What do you mean by 'I did it'?
I need to know where the fuck you were last night.
Oh come on, not again Savvy.
Savvy, listen.
Believe me.
Believe me Savvy.
I was right here last night.
Wait, wait.
Let me show you the nearest gas station receipt.
(Opening dash board and papers rustling)
Savvy I can explain
You fucking liar.
(Car engine starting)
Damn it.
He couldnt locate the house.
I'm so not sure if he was lying to me.
(Sighing)
It's been three days.
I... I heard some sound that night.
(Footsteps climbing down steps)
Satya?
(Footsteps climbing down steps)
Satya?
I'm not sure he left the house or somebody
might have kidnapped him.
(Sighing)
He never returned home after that night.
Mani!
Got it.
So you were with him at the house
and he couldn't locate it, right?
He looked so confused and going in circles in the plot.
He acted so strange and he
showed me an object and said,
he saw that previous night in Loki's house.
What object?
Uh... butterfly object?
(Door opening)
Vishwak!
You know what?
I've checked call logs of Mr. Satya.
And I don't fucking see any calls from his wife.
That night and last night.
Really?
Yeah. I guess there was never a fucking house.
Also, this guy Satya was questioned once before
by a cop about a joint cigarette holders in his car.
I think he'll come back when he's sober.
Or this lady must be hiding something.
I guess this is all fucking waste of her time, Vishwa.
I guess you're thinking too fast.
But let's go and see if you're right
or the lady's fraud.
Okay.

So Vishwak. This is the entry to the valley.
(Bird squeaking)
We have many people gone missing beyond this point.
And this case, Vishwak?
(Bird squaeaking &
vehicles passing)
You know.
(Vehicles passing)
(Eagle squeaking)
(Vehicle engine coming to stop)
(Vehicle doors opening & closing)
(Suspence music)
(Lighter clicking &

(Footsteps approaching)
Are you sure?
Yeah, I was right here.
He was wandering around.
(Foot steps)
perhaps a good place to start Mrs Varma
(Bright music)
What do you expect to find?
(Bright music)
(Suspence music)
(Searching in the grass)
(Clock ticking sound)
He showed me an object and said,
he saw that previous night in Loki's house.
- What object?
- Butterfly object
(Foot steps)
Mani!
Mani!
What? There's nothing out here.
It's an empty fucking piece of land.
Look at this.
This is the same object that I saw in Loki's house last night.
(Foot steps)
That's exactly the same object.
Satya showed it to me the last time.
Oh God!
Which means he might have come back here.
I just think something foul happened to him.
This is fucking strange.
What could have made him come back here?
This fucking empty piece of land.
(Switching on the projector)
Mrs. Shravya Verma.
I want to show you the list of people who went missing
on Interstate 70 west in the past five years.
We have collected all the evidences since then.
And nothing gave these case a right lead.
Aditya Chandra, truck driver.
Prashanth Reddy, surgeon.
Revathi Iyer.
Student.
Nithina Sharma, IT professional.
Akhil Arya, hairstylist.
Photographer.
Christopher Das, contractor.
Looking at all these evidences closely.
I'm sorry to say this, ma'am.
Your husband Satya Verma falls in the same cluster.
Mr. Vishwak is assisting us on this case.
And he has taken charges recently.
(Mobile ringing)
Sorry.
(Mobile ringing)
Hello.
Yes, this is me.
Sorry, I can't talk to you right now.
Can I call you back later?
So, do you recognize anyone other than your husband?
No.
May I know who was on the call?
It was a call from foundation.
Nothing much.
What foundation?
Satya does some voluntary work at this place.
Since he was a child.
He was an orphan.
We met in community meetings.
Okay.
(Suspence music)
Orphan! Orphan!
Mani!
(Pushing the laptop on table)
Can you check if anyone else on that list is an orphan?
(Opening the laptop and typing)
Bloody hell.
We have three in count.
Aditya Chandra, Prashant Reddy and Satya Verma.
(Suspence music)
(Thumping on the table)
We need to execute a plan with an orphan
from the same foundation.
Excuse me.
I don't even know if these are
related to the investigation.
Officer, this is bullshit.
How are these things related?
(Footsteps in pace &
Door opening)
(Weeping &
wiping tears)
(Door closing)
(Foot steps)
I'm so sorry, officer.
I. I love him more than anything in this world.
Can you bring him back?
Look,
So you can't.
Sorry, officer. As I see these people
went missing for so long.
I'm scared.
This case can never be cold to you.
But truth takes time.
Can you at least tell me
what must have happened to him?
Will do our best.

Hi. Sorry to bother you.
My. My car just broke down.
Can't get it to start.
Could you please help?
(Suspence music)
Why don't you come in?
Please come on in
where were you heading?
(Suspence music)
(Chair pulled back on floor)
(Light flickering)
(Build-up music)
Welcome home. Satya.
My Copper.
(Cynical laugh)
(Train blowing horn &
running on the bridge)
Vishwak!
This town is in the middle of mountains.
And this side is tunnel and tracks.
There is no way that somebody can come into this town
except driving over that bridge.
(Suspense music)
(Suspense music & birds chirping sound)
(Paper turning sound)
(Music mutes the voice)
We were grilling every card
every place and every cell in our brain.
(Music mutes the voice)
(Light metallic music & paper turning sound)
Do you think are there any surveillance cameras here?
There are few stores and houses in the valley.
(Bright music & train running on the bridge)
I highly doubt it.
I'll check that out.
(Placing the file on the table)
(Footsteps sound)
I was facing hypersensitivity for the first freaking time.
Triggering all my senses towards making sense of
senseless things in this case.
(Suspense music)
Hey Vishwak.
This is Mani.
Im taking an orphan guy to the plot in the valley.
I'll let you know if I find anything.
(Vehicle passing)
(Car engine revving)
(Car door opening)
(Car door closing)
(Suspence music)
Boy!
Let me know anything you see, hear, smell and taste.
Any fucking usual unusual thing.
You go this side.
(Suspence music)
Wait!
It is just unusually fine.
(Suspence music)
(Footsteps crunching)
Excuse me.
Hello? Hello?
(Hovering sound
Hello? It's a warning.
(Suspense music)

Raise your hands.
Get onto fucking ground now.
(Suspense music)
I said. Freeze.
(Suspense music)
Easy, man.
Easy.
(Suspense music)
Are you okay?
I'm all right.
I did not find anything, man.
I think we should leave.
(Gun twisting & Cicadas chirping)
(Cicadas chirping & Eeri suspence music)
Listen, I don't think we are on the right direction.
What do you mean we are not on the right direction?
There was nothing out there which
could help us with this case.
Mani.
You came back exactly with what I wanted to hear.
I guess you need some sleep.
I need to know which way you are thinking, Vishwak.
So that I can get my bloody fucking sleep.
So you knew there was nothing out there?
Yes. There was nothing out there.
except for my blood for little hungry mosquitoes.
But I appreciate you confirming it.
I don't need your appreciation, Vishwak.
Let's say you got a lead all by
yourself on this fucking cold case.
You think somebody ever cracked a clue
or solved a puzzle without talking leads?
We are fucking cold case Bureau here.
(Music)
I don't understand.
Why are we so interested in Satya's case?
I don't get it.
Task Force is waiting for this case, Vishwak.
Cold cases are like this cigarette, fresh until
they're sparked with new evidence.
(Lighter click sound)
Did you even look at the file
details about missing hairstylist?
That's a good question.
Glad we have something important to talk.
Mani!
There was an interesting clue in hairstylist case.
(Paper turning sound)
Look. He receiving threat calls.
Freaking interesting clue.
Glad you figured it out.
(Suspense music mutes voice)
(Chair creaking)
Fuck.
(Lighter click sound)
This case, Vishwak.
I've seen myself and many others getting old.
But not getting old with it,
I guess you should talk to Mark.
(Eeri suspence music)
(Door knocking)
(Door opening)
Good morning, Mark.
I have something important to discuss.
Is everything okay?
Hm...
(Door closing)
I have few interesting details of all missing cases.
We have put all the information we received from
task force to match some patterns.
Good observation.
This is not in, Mark.
This case is not about orphans anymore.
Then what the fuck is it?
(Music mutes voice)
This is very important, please.
What if...
What if all this internal investigation business fails?
What's next?
I have confidence in my sources to get
all the information I need to solve this.
Mark...
All I need from you is a restriction order.
(Suspense music)
I still want you to bring back Satya and
have no one else follow him.
Thanks, Mark.
(Footsteps sound)
(Suspense music)
Restriction order.
That's good.
(Phone vibrating)
I'm fucking hungry.
(Phone beeps)
Hello.
Hey.
We can meet now?
Yep. You can come to office.
Sure. I'll see you in a bit.
Mrs. Shravya.
She's on her way.
I think it's time to tell her the truth.
(Light metallic music)
So officer, do you have any information about Satya yet?
I believe this case is some such darker story.
Trying to deal with all these missing cases is
probably the single most difficult thing I have to do.
Period.
Mani!
(Soft music)
Looking closely into Akhil Arya's case.
A hairstylist.
We found some interesting clues.
You mean he receiving threat calls in the past?
(Snapping fingers)
Exactly.
Why? Why a hairstylist would receive threat
calls asking for his blood?
He must be a special guy.
Maybe fucking donor or something.
His blood.
He has a rare blood group.
The Golden Blood, Rh-null.
That's my husband's blood group.
Not just your husband, Mrs. Verma.
Christopher Das, Nitina Sharma.
Nitina Sharma, Akhil Arya, Christopher Das.
(Suspense music)
Who all went missing, had the same blood group.
But if I'm right, that night, your husband.
(Suspense music)
(Door opening)
(Light metallic music)
Satya!
Satya!
Satya!
There is someone who's either kidnapping
or killing people with rare blood.
As I always believe.
It's a blood game.
So hard to believe this game
being played with my family.
(Phone vibrating)
Excuse me.
Hey. Can I expect you early today?
Hopefully.
It's mom's birthday Vishwak.
Try to be here.
All right!
All right then.
Hope to see you soon.
I also checked your blood results.
Blood pressure is a bit high.
Too much stress is bad Vishwak.
you do know you own a rare blood group?
I know.
(Light metallic music)
(Suspense music)
(Car horn honking)
(Light metallic music)
(Car window glass sliding down)
It looks like a beautiful day.
Glad I'm witnessing it.
How is it going?
Same old.
Eat, sleep and search.
Do you like real or fusion?
- What?
- Coffee.
I like instant.
(Soft romantic music)
There is yours, instant with insane amount of sugar.
Thank you.
How was your tour?
I've been a mad adventures traveler ever.
That wasnt bad then.
Vishwak, I'm not a reckless person who
enjoys doing dangerous things.
(Suspense music)
You push me do it.
What happened?

Hi. Sorry to bother you.
My car just broke down.
Can't get it to start.
Could you please help?
Did you check the coolant?
Hmm, not sure about it.
Why don't you come in?
(Suspense music)
Not sure how much water you need.
Hmm! Probably a gallon should be good.
Please have a seat.
Thank you.
Where were you heading?
I was heading to the town in the valley.
Let me get you something to drink.

Her car broke down.
She's been looking for the restroom... ...restlessly.
Slithering like a snake.
Curious as wolf.
Looking for it with a big owl like eyes.
(Footsteps sound)
- Your tea
- No thank you.
I've been getting some calls.
I have to go.
What the heck?
(Suspense music & water splashing sound)
Damn! I'm running late.
Nothing can get late so soon.
Here's your water.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Excuse me.
And you, you're still in your comfort zone?
Come out of your cocoon, copper.
you left the can under the tap.
You wasted all my water.
And...
(Footsteps sound)
(Breathing heavily)
(Screaming loudly)
It was just... It was just a terrible experience.
(Car passing)
(Suspense music & writing sound)
(Footsteps sound & Suspense music)
(Door opening)
She is Mara.
(Footsteps sound)
Detective Manishwani.
Mrs. Shravya Verma.
But as I was telling you both, she met a person
who could be a suspect.
This guy, it sounded like he knew
what was happening around
and he was constantly anticipating something.
Can you give us more details?
What can I tell you?
I was scared to death.
Did you see this man out there?
Yes. He was the one who opened the door.
(Suspense music)
My...my husband is alive?
So how are we going to bring him back.
How does the old guy look like?
Grumpy!
He had different expressions of language and everything he
said had a joke but the jokes weren't funny.
Mani!
Can we have a forensic artist to sketch this man.
Mara will help in identifying the suspect.
I will have him come tomorrow.
(Footsteps sound)
Mani!
I spoke to County for land records.
Get those reports and start your investigation
with old registration files.
In the same community, same area and same street.
I want to know if there was anyone alive who could
tell us more about the property.
And the...
O... L

Welcome home... Satya.

(Car arriving & suspense music)
Hello!
Hey Vishwak.
Yeah. This is Mani.
I'm at the county's office.
Nice!
We are able to get through all the files.
Any leads...
According to county records,
there was this house long time ago.
That's good.
I got some lead about this family who lived
on the same street during the same time.
I'm meeting one of them
across country Tour Up North.
- I'll keep you posted.
- That's fantastic.
- Alright?
- Yes. -Bye.
Take care.
(Car engine reviving)
(Suspense music)
(Car tyres screeching)
(Suspense music & birds chirping)
(Car door opening)
(Knocking on the door)
(Suspense music & footsteps sound)
Hello?
Is anybody out there?
(Suspense music & footsteps sound)
Hello!
(Cutting the wood)
Hey!
Shiv, this is detective Mani Swami.
- Nice meeting you.
- Thanks for taking my call.
Before we proceed any further,
do you mind if I record this conversation?
- Can I get some water first?
- Sure.
(Suspense music)
Can you give me some information that was interesting to you?
That seemed usual, unusual...
while you were growing up in that area?
The valley was beautiful.
Everyone were friends with everybody.
Especially my grandfather.
(Footsteps crunching)
Do you remember roughly how many houses
were there in that valley?
There were a few houses in the valley.
But our house was close to the church and the Mahal.
Mahal?
Which was lost in the fire.
(Suspense music)
Mahal, what do you mean by loss?
It was destroyed in a fire accident.
(Fire crackling)
You see nothing today.
(Suspense music)
It's an empty fucking piece of land.
Why?
Can you tell me more about this house?
(Footsteps sound)
If I remember correctly,
my grandfather always talked about
the family of the Mahal.
Owners of that bungalow
adopted my grandfather's friend.
I don't remember his name,
but he was a butterfly collector.
Butterfly collector?
He picked up butterflies, moths
and caterpillars from the yard.
And treated them as pets.
I remember this story, right?
Because every freaking time
I saw a butterfly with my grandfather,
he always told me about the dangerous
side of these vampire moths.
My grandfather said his friend,
At the Mahal, fed, blood,
wine to those butterflies.
They must have hated him.
In fact, they loved him.
And never left him.
Well, these stories may just be stories.
But as a kid, I found it very interesting.
Do you know anything about this
family at the Mahal?
Where they must be now?
Any of them are alive now?
Do you know anything about them?
Well...
There was a talk.
The boy was lonely.
Parents were very busy.
They never cared about his happiness.
And after the tragic incident,
we never saw them again.
The boy and the butterfly farm...
(Fire crackling)
were burnt in the fire.
Turned to ashes.
How old was your grandad back then?
He said he and his friend were just like me
when I was 10 years old.
So I guess they were 10 years old back then.
Okay, thank you
Thank you Shiv.
(Suspense music & footsteps sound)
Shiv, if you don't mind me asking one last thing,
what is your date of birth?
(Suspense music)
May be this is it.
(Suspense music)
This must be it.
This should be the lot.
(Car door opening)
(Light metallic music)
Mahal! mahal! mahal!
There you go.
(Light music)
[Bhagavad Gita shloka]
(Suspense music)
(Light metallic music)
Good morning, Mara.
What do we have today?
Laugh...
antiques.
ambience...
Tea!
(Door opening & closing)
Really?
Hey, guys.
I guess we have a breakthrough.
I was backtracked the date of birth of the person
that I met to his grandfather's date of birth.
Interestingly, it matches with the
property that existed there.
According to old property registration
files at the county's office.
And the entire story shiv narrated to me
was this guy who lived at this
property was a butterfly collector.
Interesting.
Feeding blood and wine to butterflies.
Guys. Seemed fucking psychopath to me.
That is correct.
The whole story has something
to do with these butterflies.
I heard him saying this to Satya.
My copper.
Get out of the cocoon.
You left the tap open.
Copper is definitely a butterfly classification.
It sounds like some freaking process.
(Music mutes voice)
(Suspense music)
Guys.
There are many butterfly theories.
Some see them as human souls.
Few believe they are symbol of rebirth.
But to me they are symbol of change.
Could be a symbol of transformation.
A caterpillar changing to butterfly,
copper, cocoon.
All these clues relate to evolution of butterfly.
(Eeire music)
Well,
Is it people with the same blood group
just being given butterfly names?
Or is it people with the same blood group
being trapped as butterflies?
This is a complete mind fuck.
Maybe he's kidnapping people with same blood group
and having them follow the process of metamorphosis.
Like you said, transformation.
(Chair creaking sound)
Then Satya must be in a state of hibernation.
Assuming this is true,
how long does the process take?
What process?
Coming out of cocoon as a butterfly.
On an average of ten days.
We have Satya missing since 20th.
It's been seven days so far.
(Door opening)
we have the sketch ready.
We cannot compromise on security of Satya.
We have to bring him back safe.
We have to proceed with caution.
(Suspense music)
That's him.
(Suspense music)
Now the big question is, how can we get him?
I'll get him.
But how?
We did not find this in the field.
In fact, it found us.
What do you mean?
- I'm one of them.
- Wait.
You both belong to his blood.
We do, but how?
Wait.
Hey, Vishwak.
You can be passionate about your job,
but not crazy about your death.
What's the plan?
Butterfly.
(Energetic beat music)
(Suspense music)
Hey, Copper, can you turn on the radio please?

Come. Please Come.
Calm down.
Sit.
Is everything okay with you, Copper?
- Please.
- All right?
Please leave me.
Relax.
Calm down.
Relax, relax.
Skipper!
(Footsteps sound)
have some tea.
You will feel better, Copper.
Thank you.
How are you feeling now...
my copper?
No, I'm not your copper.
Relax.
Satya Verma.
I have a family.
And that is the only family I have.
I understand.
I totally understand. Look at me.
Please...
Look at me, my son.
Are you treated any less here?
Look at me.
I'm smiling in a great way.
To make you seem more comfortable
with very less effort.
(Light music)
You may believe that I am your enemy.
However, that won't make you mine.
Our personalities and characters are same.
We belong to the same nest.
I'm here for so long looking for people like you
to be part of this household.
(Music)
My life and death was easy to me.
In between, living myself alone...
(Music)
was difficult.
It just.
It just went unnoticed.
(Fire crackling)
I experienced no pain.
When I was left burned in a fire.
I knew.
I knew I was never taken.
I still remember the sound of my crackling bones.
(Fire crackling)
The roasted smell of my flesh.
While this is happening, I was raising from my own ashes.
But this time.
This time to create my own world of blood.
Set me free.
Please leave me.
Please let me go.
I can't.
I can't leave you.
But only can love you.
Nothing else matter.
I beg you.
Please.
I'm not going to hold you here.
I'll let you go if you wish,
(Music)
Wait...
(Suspense music)
(Knife drawing sound)
I'll let you go...
But you know what, Copper?
Sorry, Satya.
Like two butterflies flying.
Following each other.
Representing undying love.
I will follow you.
Let me go.
(Breathing heavily)
(Blood dripping from hand)
Let me go.
(Music)
Don't try to stop me.
Let me go.
(Blood dripping from hand)
(Suspense music)
You are not real...
You are not real...
(Suspense music)
Let me go.
You are not real...
You think so?
You're not real.

Do you mind coming in?
Please.
(Fire crackling)
(Suspense music)
Where were you heading?
I was heading up north.
Looks like a beautiful palace.
Yes, it is.
I smell butterflies.
Is there a farm around here?
I'm surprised.
I thought I'm the only one who enjoys the smell.
I run a farmland. I smell and yell at these creatures.
You're a person with good taste.
Let me get you some tea.
No, I'm good, thanks.
Just this.
Do you have a phone? I need to make a call.
These phone lines has been a problem for a while.
What's wrong with your car?
Did you check the coolant?
You may be right.
I'll take water.
I'm trying to be quick before
my butterflies freeze to death.
Are they in a car?
You mean the butterflies are in the car?
Yeah. I have the hybrid ones from my conservatory.
Are you serious?
In fact, I can give you a few for your farm.
I love to have them.
- You, Mr...
- Vishwa...
yourself?
- Lokanath Loki.
- Nice.
Can you help the disabled now, please?
I'll get your water.
(Suspense music)

Get me those butterflies.
(Laughing)
Get them to me.
(Suspense music)
I'm taking him.
(Light reviving music)
Stop.
You cannot do that! Stop!
(Light metallic music)
What is meant to be will always find its way.
Loki, nobody can be alive for you.
Nor you can be alive for anybody.
Stop what you're doing.
I'm taking him.
No, you cannot take him.
From here on, I will make sure nobody
will cross your path to be a butterfly
No. No.
No.
His destiny is to be with me.
I wish you peace, Loki.
Goodbye.

Sathya!
Oh my God...
Sathya It's you.
(Music)
Love you
Love you...
Thank you
You alright?
Good!
(Light reviving music)
Find anything that is unusual to create
some evidence to close this case.
Sure.
Vishwak!
Vishwak!
(Footsteps sound)
Well...
I understand the whole story except for two things.
What? What is it?
See, I understood you, Mara and Satya
You belong to the same blood group.
That's why you are able to see Loki.
But why the fuck someone followed me when me and that
orphan boy were searching in the area?
Don't understand why he followed me.
I don't have his blood.
Sorry, have to tell you.
It was me.
(Footsteps crunching)
The game was on when Mrs. Verma
said she couldn't find the house either.
I wanted to make sure she was right.
And I was going after you.
Spotting the house that night.
I'm alright.
I do not find anything man.
I think we should leave.
(Music)
That was me.
Not just you.
I was even following Mara.
(Music)
I was spying my own spy.
I was following her when she read books.
Went out to eat or dance.
I followed her.
(Light music)
(Car beeps)
Because...
I do not want her to follow Satya.
Damn it!
Fuck you Vishwak!
Another one.
Why the hell only Satya got trapped?
Not even Mara.
It was all in the tea Mani.
Your person with good taste.
Let me get you some tea.
No, I'm good. Thanks.
Let me get you something to drink.
There was something that was bringing them back.
The only different thing Mara
could do was not drink the tea.
- Your tea.
- No, thank you.
I've been getting some calls.
I have to go.
(Light metallic music)
(Lights flickering)
Would you like to have some cup of coffee or tea?
Let me get you some tea.
(Metallic music)
Here is your tea.
Have some tea.
You will feel better copper.
I'm not your copper.
Let me go.
You're not real.
Loki trapped all those who had his blood,
believing they were part of his family.
(Spitting out the drink)
Satya was a new lead.
Awaited patiently to crack down unsolved cold case.
(Light metallic music)
And if you ever get to stop by Loki's nest,
unless you want to become his family member,
never ever...
sip tea.
He did not pick up the call.
I think we should head back.
