The Akaali (2024) Movie Script
On 20th April 2016,
You, Mr. Hamza Rahman...
were an integral part in solving...
the sensational Janice murders.
After this case was closed...
it's almost been 6 years.
But, thanks a lot for co-operating
for the enquiry on such short notice.
I'm Sowmya.
Sowmya Dev Varma...
representing Internal Affairs of Police.
Pertaining to the case...
I have been appointed as
the investigation officer.
I would like to get some
details about this case.
Shall we discuss this?
Of course, yes.
2016...
'Operation Black skull'
Yeah... yes!
The most unforgettable
days of my life.
The story began in a graveyard...
It was a grave incident.
What precisely do you want
to know about the case?
The untold truth!
In my opinion, this case is far from over.
Non-sense!
The accused in the case...
has been proven to be guilty.
In fact...
the same year...
Which batch do you belong to?
2017... IPS graduate... Missouri!
In that case...
I presume you got enough
knowledge about the case.
Yes!
Can you take us to the
origin of the case?
I was then investigating
another case.
It was local.
What was that?
That's...
'Bodies buried in the burial
ground went missing'.
A random complaint.
So those Janice Murders never happened?
But how did you find
the link between
your case and the Janice murders.
In other words
No one has ever inferred it yet.
Except one!
Who was it?
Charles Elwin.
He was a reporter.
Nevertheless, I can't say that he
is the first lead to this case.
But...
he was the major link.
We got closer to the culprit.
Thanks to him.
There unwinds the story.
Charles...
just in this city alone...
more than 10,000
people go missing.
And very few cases are
linked to abductions.
The rest are...
just the people who live
a better lives, man.
I'm yet to complete it.
There is a crime angle to this case.
The reason why went missing
is not a usual one.
It is all linked to...
this one girl.
Janice D' Souza.
I have seen her somewhere.
You are right.
She identifies herself as a 'Shaman'.
Shaman is the one who
practices black magic.
Charles... Charles!
I know what a Shaman is.
What are you getting at?
Cut to the point.
The sources whom I spoke of...
He is a cop!
He discussed the case with me.
She is missing along
with six other girls.
No complaint has been filed
about missing Janice.
Something creepy is happening, ma'am.
I didn't take him seriously when
he first discussed the case.
But this is where it gets interesting.
I learned something when I started browsing
through the missing persons' Facebook page.
All the 6 persons who went missing
are on her Facebook friends list.
The depth of acquaintance
is secondary.
Posts of dark magic by all of them...
is a regular pattern that links them.
All of Janice's posts are gore.
Apparently, others have admired it.
They are supporting her ideas.
Not only here but it is
widespread across the nation.
And...
you are just ignorant.
Ignorant?!
Others consciously followed her lead despite
knowing that she is a witch, right?
You just stated that they
support her ideas and reforms.
What role do we have here?
See...
If it is like a religion to them...
who are we to interfere
in other people's belief.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
Despite knowing that our society is taking
its course in a dreadful path...
and yet we are being mute spectators.
This an unforgivable crime.
So, Charles Elwin's informer...
is your informer.
No!
My informer is a localite.
As I told you earlier...
that was a random complaint.
We were assigned new jobs in siezures
and control of the drugs department.
So, naturally it have
caught your attention.
Bodies were dug out from the cemeteries...
and drugs were hoarded.
You assumed this.
Am I right?
No!
We thought so at the beginning.
But you know...
there was more.
Aarti!
Come on.
Anita!
Could you please call the Chapel?
She is our daughter.
Why don't you understand?
She might be hurt.
Please open the door.
Stop screaming and listen to me.
Leave at once.
Call the priest now.

Hamzah!
Open this!
So, you didn't find any drugs?
All you find is some skulls, crowbars
and a superstitious mob.
Now how the hell will I proceed
with the case, Hamzah?
Darn!
I learned that these guys
had abducted a girl.
Yes. Her name is Anitha.
A college student.
She seems to be little
mentally disturbed, Sir.
The girl...
Give me the torch.
Non-sense!
How is the girl doing now?
We handed her over to her parents.
Circumstantially it's not
advisable to stay at her house...
so, she is now at one of
her relative's place.
Follow my instructions.
Share the photos of these
guys to her father.
Let's see whether he can
identify any one of them.
One more important thing.
Her change in behavior
happened most recently.
Someone has influenced her.
I spoke to her parents.
Did you make them file a return complaint?
Yes, Sir.
Sir...
don't you find these things strange?
Assuming that they are
petty skull mongers...
why did they abduct the girl?
Why did they commit suicide
when we cornered them?
There's nothing strange in this.
Nothing surprises me, Hamzah.
When a man is forced to face a critical
situation and he can't take bail himself out...
suicide is obvious
foolish decision.
A dastardly cowardly act.
Got it?
It's a dangerous situation.
We might be a technologically
developed nation...
ironically, people are ruining their lives. Thanks to witchcraft, human sacrifices, and superstitious beliefs.
That's interesting.
But...
Let's say that we do
follow up on this case...
the department will stamp
us as lunatics and fire us.
And if there exists a
leader of the group...
we can't even get closer to him.
I'm pretty sure about it.
Just get back to the business.
Don't get excited about
this witchcraft.
They are just a bunch of crazy weirdos.
Non-sense.
And...
get rid of these dead bodies.
Got it?
So, the outcome of this case...
was a misfire.
As quoted by you.
Isn't it contradictory?
Because at the very same
place you got a vital clue.
Anita!
It was our first meeting.
Everyone who testified in this case...
including her parents...
confessed that she is possessed
and it was an effect of sorcery.
It's their belief.
But...
she was pondering
about something else.
So if I'm getting it alright...
Your first clue in this case...
was this girl?
Yes!
She was!
But...
But we started to encounter
bizarre incidents.
To begin with...
An officer went missing in
the course of this operation.
You are referring to officer
Selvam, am I right?
Mutilated bodies have been in various
places around Pallavaram, Chennai.
Suspicions have been raised that
this might be an act of black magic.
Based on the information
acquired from the spot...
it is alleged that a young lady,
Janice is the prime suspect.
The cops are seriously
searching for the woman.
'A video recorded in a reporter's
mobile stands witness to the murder.'
The cops say so.
Mr. Rahul is reporting
from the crime scene.
What updates have you got?
Can we expect the police to
give out any fresh information?
Greetings!
The cops have swarmed
up this place.
There is tension in the air.
Sources say that the guy who
shot the video is dead.
His name is Charles and he is a reporter.
Seven bodies including his have been found.
The girl seen in the footage is Janice.
The cell phone hasn't been found yet...
but before he passed away...
the journalist has shared
the video with his peers.
The sources from the police department
says that the phone might be with Janice.
The police department is affirmative that they will
soon catch the culprit with evidence they got.
We can sense the shock waves that this horrendous
incident has created across the nation.
We can call it a black day.
How could this happen?
She might have just completed
her college studies.
But learning that she killed
six people for witchcraft.
I can't digest it.
Good that the reporter shot it.
The video is the only evidence we got.
If not...
such crimes can't be solved forever.
True, Sir.
What's the name of the reporter?
Elwin... Charles Elwin.
He looks familiar.
David...
What about Selvam?
Did you enquire?
No, sir.
I tried in all the possible ways.
As time passes...
I sense something is fishy.
Can we alert the commissioner?
Alright.
You let him know.
Sir!
Selvam's wife is calling.
Why is she calling?
Maybe shows know it.
Not a chance.
Sir...
Hello!
Hello, Sir!
Where are you, sir?
This is Mr. Hamzah.
-What happened?
-Can you hear me?
Yes, I can.
What happened to Selvam?
He is acting weird.
-I'm clueless.
-What? When did Selvam come?
I'm scared.
Hello!
Selvam!
-Call him!
-It's switched off.
- Go to the other side.
- Okay, Sir.
Selvam!
- Sir!
- David!
I checked the other side.
All the other doors are locked.
When did you return?
Can't you inform us?
What are you doing inside?
Your wife was crying.
What happened to her?
Selvam?!
She is sleeping.
You may leave.
Sir!
What do we do now?
Did you notice his eyes?
He is behaving oddly.
Yeah! I noticed it too.
Shall I get inside and take a look...
Let's leave this place.
Sir!
-Sir, please stop.
-What?
Blood stains on your shirt.
Check out for any injuries.
Selvam!
Tell me, David.
Things are not right.
The door is open.
Get in.
David!
David!
Selvam!
David, come here.
David!
Help me!
Hold her!
Slowly!
Sure, Sir.
No problem.
You don't worry, Sir.
Yes. No problem.
-How's Selvam's wife?
-She is alright.
But not sure why Selvam behaved so.
-How's David?
-He is fine.
A small injury.
Otherwise he is fine, Sir.
Yes, Sir
And you have to investigate
one more person.
Sure, sir.
Yes, Sir.
Keep it confidential.
Sure, Sir.
I think we may get some leads.
Okay, Sir. Definitely, Sir.
Thank you.
Before these murders took place...
your reporter Charles
had all the information.
He has perfectly gathered
the information.
Did he discuss the
source of the information?
No, sir.
In fact...
We have discussed it
just a couple of times.
And the last time we
spoke about it...
Our last discussion
ended in a debate.
That was just yesterday.
And Sir...
Probably, someone from your department...
somebody was giving him
leads on this issue, Sir.
Did he specifically
mention anyones name?
No, sir.
Nothing specific.
Let the file be with us.
No one else needs to know about this.
Before these murders took place...
this reporter had
all the information.
Gathering such information about such
secret cults is not an easy task.
Maybe he had an informer, right?
The woman said the same thing.
Someone from our department
has passed the information.
This woman has warned him once.
He has gone there at
someone's insistence.
Sir...
This girl...
Anita Francis!
-Are you on Facebook?
-I'm.
Check this profile.
Sir...
She is the one.
Look at this, sir.
The girl and her parents in a photo.
Excuse me, sir.
Sir..
This girl is a mutual friend
of murder suspect Janice.
They belong to the same college.
Check, the year of her college completion.
She has mentioned it as
the 'Class of 2010'.
So, she is a senior of Anita.
But every incident coincides
as if it was pre-planned.
Yes.
We identified this body
from the other corpses.
We were able to jump to a
conclusion only after 24 hours.
But...
But where is Janice?
We had no answer to the question.
Amongst these two incidents...
only kidnapping case falls under
your jurisdiction, right?
Yeah!
Once we learned about the kidnapping...
We shifted Anita and her
family to a safer place.
And..
I instructed David to
investigate at the crime scene.
Meanwhile...
Yes, David?
He is running a clothes pressing
shop in Anita's locality.
I enquired him about Janice.
Oh, okay.
He says that he has seen Janice
and Anita together many a time.
He says that they got
closer in recent times.
Doesn't Anita have other friends?
She had three close
friends for a long time.
All three of them are her classmates.
They are Eesa, Yasmin, and Gowtham.
They don't have any suspicious backgrounds.
And Yasmin is a daughter
of a military officer.
Also, she is a state
level shooting champion.
As they fought with Anita recently...
All these three distanced
themselves from Anita.
'Only after that Janice and Anita
got closer', says the group.
One thing is for sure.
Anita has a strong connection with Janice.
Yes, Sir.
David, I have reached her house.
Okay, Sir.
I'll call you back.
Hello!
I'm speaking to Mr. Hamza?
Yeah!
You had admitted a patient named
Selvam early morning, right?
Yeah!
I'm his doctor.
Yes, doctor?
We have detected an unsual
drug in his system.
I don't know if you had
heard of this before.
It is called Flakka.
Flakka's victims are very dangerous.
They have no control over their body.
And they tend to be very agressive.
In fact it is even called Zombie drug.
These are modern day synthetic
compounds made of bath salts...
and other...
Hello!
Hello...
- Sir, are you there?
- Yeah...
Yeah, doctor.
I'm with you.
Alright! I just wanted to
keep you informed of this.
And he should be fine
with in 24 hours.
Also, there is a
suspicion mark on his neck.
- I will send a picture of it.
- OKay, doctor.
Thank you.
Are you sure that this is the house?
This is the location
that Anita's mom shared.
Hold on a second, Eesa.
Let me call.
Hello!
Hello!
Your building is the white one, right?
Why are you outside?
Get in, Yasmin...
Eesa, this is the house.
Let's go.
Buddy, you stay in the car.
His dad might create a ruckus.
Hence I insist that
Yasmin and I go meet him. Okay?
Why did you invite them now, Aarti?
Stop being a sadist, Richard.
Anita's situation is getting worse.
If her friends are there with
her, she will feel better.
Why can't you just understand, Richard?
Don't pick an unnecessary fight.
Just move.
Where are you, bro?
Need to discuss
something important.
I know the whereabouts of Shabir.
I will go to his place in the
pretext of buying stuff.
-Can you come over?
-I will. Hang up.
Take a look at this photo.
Look at the circled portion.
Zoom it.
I remember that I found a
similar mark on Anita's neck.
Sir it is the same.
-I have seen a similar mark on Anita's neck.
-Don't blurt out some random things, Aarti.
Anita doesn't have such a mark.
I'm sure, Sir.
It's the same.
What do you mean, Aarti?
Every word that comes out of your
mouth will put her in more danger.
Don't you have a conscience?
Hiding the truth isn't going to help.
Will you stop it?
I'm here to help you.
Please trust me.
We said we know nothing, Sir.
Yet you force us to say something.
You have no idea how
serious the issue is.
This is related to superstitious
criminal activity.
I can't list out all the details for you.
Look!
Is Anita subjected to drug abuse?
Sir!
I'm asking this because...
This behavior is a
pattern of drug abusers.
-Hence I'm asking you.
-What do you mean?
We know our girl.
Helping my girl doesn't give you a
free license to stack allegations.
You are just nodding your head.
You are merely acknowledging him.
-Listen!
-Get lost!
Why don't you understand, Richard?
This is the guy about whom I spoke over the phone.
He lives close to Anita's house.
Come here.
Sir?
-What's your name?
-Vicky!
Take a seat.
-Have it.
-It's okay.
You heard me.
What's the issue between them?
Who?
Hey, don't act smart.
He is referring to the fight
between Anita and her friends.
Speak out.
Anita was close to a girl named Janice.
I don't know the reason.
As she got closer to Janice...
she cut off her friendship
with Yasmin, Gowtham, and Eesa.
Who gives you such information?
Eesa!
He came to me to know about Janice.
Why did he come to you?
I'm an Instagram friend of Janice.
So...
I immediately unfollowed her once
I found that she is a murderer.
Janice shares pics and posts
related to Satan were so weird.
Especially the 'worship of Satan' dance...
Let me cut to the point.
Eesa ratted out Janice
to Anita's mother.
It ended up in a fight.
Thus, broke the group and
they stopped talking to her.
On some random day, I was on my terrace
and I heard a sound of a vehicle.
I got curious and peeped to know
that it is my 'Lady Leader'.
'Lady Leader'?
Yes, bro.
What?
It was an inadvertent one.
Forgive me.
I didn't mean it.
Janice along with
Anita came by bike.
Did you notice anything?
They went inside the house.
Go sit over there.
I'll call you.
Ok, Sir.
- David?
- Sir?
Drop him and wait there.
I'll call you if I got any
further instructions.
Okay, SIr.
Go.
You showed me a photo and asked me
about the marks on Anita's neck.
It is the same.
I was easily able to recognize it.
Over time, the marks have faded.
That's all.
You could have consulted a doctor
as soon as you noticed it.
No, sir.
We were going to.
But Richard didn't feel safe.
We know a healer.
My husband's friend.
At least, had you consulted a doctor...
you would had some medical report.
We could have studied her behavior.
Anyway...
Hey!
What's happening?
Attend the call or disconnect it.
Who is calling?
It is Eesa.
Pick up the call.
Moron!
-Where are you?
-On my way.
-Where are you?
-I have reached.
-Where are you? How long can I wait?
-I...
Oh no!
Gowtham's calling me.
If you spill the beans with Gowtham,
I'm gonna break your mouth.
Tackle Gowtham.
-What can I do?
-Come soon.
-What if they come here?
-I will talk.
Alright!
Where are you, Vicky?
-I called umpteen times Where is Eesa?
-Tell me.
-You were talking to him, right?
-I was talking to my friend.
Both the lines are busy.
-Trust me, bro.
-I'm gonna kill you.
He is with us because of Anita's issue.
I know he is coming to meet you.
So, tell me where you are.
Can you hear me?
You douchebag...
I can't hear you.
What's happening?
Sir...
I need to be at Chindadripet.
-Someone's in trouble?
-Trouble?
Please keep moving, sir.
I will tell you on the way.
So, Mr. David...
Somewhere around 1 to 1.30...
What happened when you were taking Vicky@
Vignesh, the neighbor of Anita, back home?
And if I'm not wrong...
You were taking him to
Chindadripet instead of his home.
Why?
We had confirmed something
while enquiring Vicky.
Anita and her friends know Janice.
Also, one more person was
involved in this case.
To be clear...
Vicky, Eesa, and her friend Gowtham...
were investigating something.
We joined the dots...
we got closer to the first
accused of the case.
He is a localite.
He is known by the name of Shabir bhai.
Sultry weather!
I just can't take it.
Stick to a path, oldie.
Kids!
How can you play in such weather?
There you are.
Why did you leave the shop unattended?
Do I look like a babe?
Why are you stalking me?
Are Anita and Janice besties?
Sir...
Only recently they got acquainted.
I didn't like Janice
getting along with Anita.
If Anita hooks onto something,
it is very hard to undo it.
Who takes up an Occultus
project for the final exams?
You have no idea what
they are going to do.
This is their common discussion point.
She was is into all
these dark topics.
What did you say the
name of the healer was?
Donald Halloway.
I need to meet him.
Sir, I feel very uncomfortable with him.
You need not join us.
I will personally meet him.
Okay, Sir.
What's happening here, Father?
Dark magic crimes are on the
rise in the age of technology.
Is this a selfish act of someone?
Or the greed of humans?
If the desire is a crime...
everyone in the world
is a criminal.
Sir!
Here, sir.
Hello, sir.
What brings you here, sir?
Here for an enquiry.
Oh!
What is it?
Do you know someone by
the name Shabir bhai?
Yes, he lives around.
Where can I find him?
I think he will be at Jameen shed.
Do you want backup?
Thanks. I will take care.
It's a small enquiry.
Okay, Sir.
Call me for any help.
Bye, Sir.
Come with me.
A dimwit!
It wasn't worth the wait.
Look at his face! So pale...
-Let's burn him alive.
-Scoot.
So audacious?
You kept trailing.
Who are you, stranger?
Do you want to know who I'm?
Will you run a vehicle over me?
What's he blabbering?
I'm seeing you for the first time.
Don't talk nonsense.
-I'm warning you.
-I have video evidence of what you did.
We know everything about
you and your boss.
You
But now you are doomed.
But I'm gonna send you to hell now.
Leave him.
-Let me kill him.
-Ignore him.
Come with me, Sir.
-This is the place he mentioned.
-It's election time.
We are doomed if caught.
Let me go.
He must be here.
-Is it the one?
-This is the Jameen shed that he mentioned.
Check out who is that.
Are you guys armed?
-Yes we are.
-We do.
Bhai...
-The cops are here.
-What's happening?
What if he brought them to us?
I'm gonna finish him up.
Go to hell.
Father...
Is Anita really controlled
by a supernatural power?
Or would someone control
her instilling fear?
The mind is a place where good and
evil thoughts are constantly produced.
We have to take things in control, dwindle
and finally decimate the evil thoughts.
Low confidence and inferiority complex...
would compound and turn into a force.
The force will make
decisions on behalf of you.
Some say...
it's a state of mind.
Astral plane!
If you are a man of beliefs...
this power is a demon.
worship, human sacrifice
and manipulating people.
- and dedicating one's life...
- You are right, father.
I understand.
Anita is in the exact state
of mind that you described.
The astral phase... right.
Yes.
One man controlling another...
Is there any technique to do it?
Mr. Hamza...
In this world everybody's
controlled by an external force.
It can be political, May be religious.
or emoitional.
Someway or the other.
See... you get annoyed when
your wife controls you.
but you feel nice when your
mother does the same to you.
Okay.
Back to the question...
A person controlled with the
help of drugs or hypnotherapy.
Poor Anita.
She has learned something that she shouldn't
have and which is totally not related to her.
Some person who is affected by this...
or the society he/she belongs to
has pushed her into their world.
Go!
-Come here, bhai.
-Sir! Here I come.
It has been quite a time.
Why are the cops of other
limits looking out for you?
Police?
The human sacrifice case is being
investigated in the particular station.
Their cops are looking out for you.
I think it must be a misunderstanding.
Tell me the truth if you
are really involved in it.
Sir, you know about me.
I have my own set of things.
I saved you by diverting
them as I know you. And here I'm.
-Diverted to?
-The Jameen shed.
They must have gone there.
Alright, sir.
Meet him and pass on the information
to my superior Is that clear?
-Okay, sir.
-Take care.
Go!
How did they end up here?
Father...
she had a friend named Janice.
Do you believe that she
is the murderer?
What could have been a
motive for such a young woman?
No matter what the motive is...
we have to focus on the tool she used.
Witchcraft!
Because human sacrifice isn't
propagated by any other faith.
So, the girl has been
influenced by witchcraft.
No!
She is not influenced...
but she is practising witchcraft.
Practitioners of witchcraft
don't see this as a murder.
It's only an offering.
An offering.
A belief that a human sacrifice would make
them as powerful as the goddess of demons.
Especially when the victim is dear to them.
the offering...
You know...
What about Anita?
Poor Anita...
She was forced into the dark
world by some selfish people.
Not sure how long can she fight back there.
Soon, we have to bring her out.
Back to the light.
You see...
Every one of us was just
looking for one thing.
Why did Anita turn into this woman?
We, the cops, father, and Anita's friends & family...
We were just looking out for the answer.
Except Janice.
Can I tell you why?
After you met the father...
you were confident that
you can find Janice.
But meanwhile another human
sacrifice has taken place.
Do you know why?
Because Janice D'Souza has
always been the murderer.
What is it, Parthiban?
What's the update?
The victim has been working
here as a laborer for 15 years.
People in the surrounding
area are familiar with him.
But he is in no way connected
with Janice's gang.
This time they have
chosen a random victim.
He was tortured to death, Sir.
Okay.
Mr. Hamza...
this is Mr. Parthiban.
The investigating officer in this case.
Hello, Sir.
We were able to decode some symbols
found in the previous murder spot.
And they have left the
same symbols here too.
- This is definitely the same group.
- Impossible.
We are looking out for an
individual name Janice.
How can it be a group?
No, Sir.
He is right.
A large mob is driving Janice.
I'm sure they would have
influenced by the Pagan ideology.
May be, but...
It sounds strange.
What does this symbol mean, exactly?
- Akaali, sir.
- What?
It means Akaali, Sir.
- Akaali?
- Yes, Sir.
It's derived from
multiple languages.
'Kaal' means death.
'Akaal' means immortal.
When these words are combined
are referred to a person...
they are called Akaali.
which means...
This means the word 'Akaali'...
maybe a prominent
symbol in their group.
Yes, Sir.
Okay.
Sir...
Sir, please wait.
Listen to me.
Sir, please.
Give me a minute, sir.
Please!
It is not going to work out, Mr. Hamza.
It's because you started to
investigate Janice's mother...
things went wrong.
She is in a state of shock.
Rather I would say that she didn't
believe anyone rather than 'shock'.
If we make her understand
that we are helping her...
then they will co-operate with us.
There are more chances that she might
know the whereabouts of Anita.
we have lots of possibilities, Sir.
- Sir... please, Sir.
- Bullshit!
- Just one attempt, Sir.
- Absolutely no possiblities.
There is a huge risk involved in this.
Do you know that?
Try to make her tell the truth...
and get out of that place
within ten minutes.
- Sir, please.
- I have orders.
Only ten minutes.
Got it?
And...
if anything goes wrong...
you will be held responsible.
Is that clear?
Yes.
It was unofficial enquiry.
Since Anita and Janice are close friends...
to gather some clues about Anita...
I went to meet Janice's mom.
That's all.
Your colleagues don't
know about your visit.
Why did you go alone?
Don't you think this alone
raises enough suspicion?
I was never alone.
I was never alone.
Concerning this case...
No one is alone.
No matter where and how one goes...
the person will feel that
he/she is being followed.
But...
you can't see who
is following you.
In fact...
When we were fighting
against darkness...
most of the time...
ironically the darkness helped us.
Look at this, madam.
Her name is Anita.
Has your daughter shared
anything about this girl?
Or have you seen this girl?
You can trust me.
You will be safe.
You can discuss anything with me.
I will take care.
What happened, madam?
They are here.
Leave this place.
Go!
They are here.
They are here, sir.
Madam...
Leave this place.
-Please, madam.
-Leave this place.
Don't be scared.
Relax!
I will be back.
Drink this.
You are fine.
Nothing to worry about.
Give me a minute.
Where are you, sir?
What happened, madam?
Over there.
Over there.
Come on!
What are you doing?
Are you nuts?
Get up, man.
Mr. Dough face.
Are you trying to fool me?
Get up or else...
Come on!
Drop the gun.
I won't.
She is dangerous.
You don't know things.
Listen to me.
Drop the gun.
I'm trying to help you.
Please leave this place at once.
I'm warning you.
Drop the gun.
This is your final warning.
Here you are.
Come on.
Get up!
You
-This is your final warning.
-So audacious! Warning me?
I'm your senior officer.
Drop the gun.
This is our internal issue.
Please don't interfere.
If you don't listen to me, I will
have to forcibly use the weapon.
-Shut up and I dare to shoot.
-Get away!
Come on!
Do it!
It's a grave mistake.
Please go aside.
-Shoot me.
-No, sir.
What are you up to, madam?
Drop the lighter.
I said drop it.
Who the hell are you, man?
Stop there.
Guys, tie him up.
Gather our people and surround them!
Fire it.
- Please.
- Don't get closer.
You heard me.
- Don't torment me.
- Listen to me.
Stop there.
I don't get you.
Anita has shared
something with Janice.
I'm here to know that.
I know why you are here.
You were sent to kill me, right?
Stop it, madam.
Trust me.
I will protect you.
Stop, man.
Eesa!
Throw the lighter towards me.
I said 'Throw it'.
Did you expect this?
He left no room for humanity
to help fellow beings.
I have just one question in mind.
Why do this?
Ego!
Power!
Everybody wants a power!
Humans are running after authority.
To be straight...
A human is hunting his fellow
being like a wild animal.
In the end, he too bites the dust.
I do get it.
Looking back at history...
no matter how
devastating the events are...
human race has
resiliently bounced back.
At such unpleasant times...
time and hope are quintessential.
So, based on your statement...
even before these murders...
Janice's mom was being
controlled by someone else.
You are right.
And Mariam's murder...
was it a part of this ritual?
Maybe.
So, after a while, they started
to come after you as well.
How did you handle it?
I couldn't think much back then.
Mariam D' Souza's murder...
it felt like a setup.
If I really wanted to get out of this...
I had to find where Janice is.
Such was the situation.
I got the place.
I know where Janice is...
Eesa...
How did you get hold of this?
Sir...
Please tell him, Eesa.
Just spit out the
unfiltered truth.
What do you expect from me?
What do you want to know?
Does anyone know what's happening around?
Sir...
The problems started when
Janice went missing.
Anita was deeply affected by it.
She was determined to find Janice
and she made sincere efforts.
That's when Anita called
me and asked a favor.
When Janice last met Anita she
shared some strange scriptures.
Anita was just curious if she could
decode anything from these scriptures.
I unwillingly agreed to
help her in this regard.
But I looked at it as
a good opportunity.
I felt that it was a chance
to get her out of this cult.
As she promised me that she
wouldn't go after such things...
I met a guy who had enough knowledge
about this mysterious world.
They are akin to a secret society.
When he explained some things
about the scriptures...
It was shocking.
He asked me to warn her about
the dangers of it.
I tried to contact her...
But before I could make her realize...
a big mishap interrupted
That's when Aarti Madam
asked to meet her.
She was worried that Anita has returned...
and she also said that she
went out to meet someone.
My mind blacked out.
Trying to figure out about her...
I went crazy...
That's when I got a
video message from her.
That's the clip you watched.
I didn't share a thing about
this video to anyone.
Gowtham and I went to the local police
station to file a complaint about it.
The constable there saw the
video and treated us harshly...
and asked us to
immediately delete it.
-'He inquired if there was another copy'.
-No, sir. This is the only footage.
They also collected our
personal details and addresses.
They also collected Anita's
address along with our addresses.
As Gowtham and I did these
without informing Yasmin...
You talk as if we give a damn about Anita.
Let's ponder about the next plan.
I will face the consequences.
This incident got us perplexed.
That's when a couple of guys on a
bike crossed throwing a stare.
I know all the folks in my locality.
I will spot a stranger at first sight.
They kept noticing us.
I didn't take it seriously as our judgment
might go wrong when we are tense.
You can't say that you will
face the consequences, Eesa.
-Move!
-Yasmin.
Gowtham and I kept
talking after she left.
Only then I realized that those bike guys
kept moving to and fro in our street.
Who are these guys roaming in our place?
Hey, Eesa!
I was curious to see them.
Eesa!
What happened, Eesa?
Doesn't that house have CCTV?
There is no CCTV in our street.
But definitely, they would
crossed nearby streets.
When enquired about the same, the car
which rammed me was recorded on CCTV.
We noted the car number and traced the owner.
Later we met him.
We explained about the incident.
He told a story that got us stunned.
When he and his friends
were returning from a party...
they were caught at a police
checkpost for drunk and driving.
The car owner and his friends
were taken away in a jeep.
He said that someone stole his car.
We couldn't believe his story.
But he got evidence to back his story.
The incident was recorded on his friend's phone
which accidentally slipped in the car.
The footage opened our eyes...
that this was a planned trap by the local
inspector Lawrence and Sabir bhai.
Hence Vicky and I were after Sabir bhai.
We were so confused and couldn't
trust anyone not even the cops.
Sorry, Sir.
You got a message.
Open it.
The time was 11 O'clock.
From Janice's social media account...
-'Eesa got a message'.
-Janice has sent a message.
But he is not the only
one who got the message.
Eesa's other two friends, Gowtham and Yasmin...
also got the same message?
Yes.
It was then...
we inferred that a mob is
operating behind the scene.
I felt that those kids need
to be at the location shared by Janice.
Because...
someone was tapping their mobile phone.
So...
David and I took those three guys there.
Ask him to stay inside.
You three stay inside the car.
We shall alert you if
know about Janice. Okay?
- Okay.
- Okay, Sir.
Take care.
I have instruced them, Sir.
Let's go.
Sir...
- Where are you going?
- Stay here. I'll be back.
Don't Eesa...
Lawrence sir.
Relax, Sir.
David, check out who was that.
Where did he go?
Who are you?
Lawrence?
Stop!
Hey, stop there.
Don't run!
Lawrence!
Lawrence sir!
Lawrence sir!
Where are you?
Yasmin, get to the car.
Sir...
Why did you come here?
Get out!
Go!
Stop there.
Stop!
Don't get closer.
Fall back.
I got nothing to do with this.
-Get away!
-If you got nothing to do with this...
why did you run away from us?
I got evidence.
You were scared that I
would leak them out.
Where is Janice?
Why don't you get it?
-I'm not one of them. Got it?
-Shoot me.
I said 'fall back'
You are not gonna listen?
Retreat!
Run!
Come on!
Run!
Why did you save us?
Let me go!
I just followed the instructions
of Inspector Lawrence.
I'm just a hired henchman.
You traced me out.
He got smart and got me trapped.
I don't have enough time to
explain everything to you.
This is not a safe place to be.
Why are you saying
irrelevant things?
I will kill you both
if you keep fighting.
-Call them.
-Please don't kill me.
I said 'call'.
-Eesa?
-Where are you?
Inside the building.
We are cornered.
Are you safe?
We are.
Where are you?
We...
we...
Remember we parked the car?
-Yeah.
-We are at the building next to it.
I will send Gowtham.
get away from this place in the car.
I will take care of things.
Come.
Let's go, sir.
Get up.
Move!
Gowtham, stay strong.
I will have you covered and make
sure that they don't get near you.
Go.
Go.
You, masked bitches!
Don't you have any
value for human lives?
Go convey my message to your Satan.
'Your lives have been
sacrificed to 12 mm bullets'
Farewell to hell!
-Get in.
-Come on.
Move!
How are you and Janice related?
Why are so many people protecting her?
Is she the Akaali?
If you try to cook up a story...
You
The Akaali, you are looking for...
is not Janice, Hamzah.
We don't know where she is.
But...
earlier...
she was in our custody.
This unworthy human race...
has to end forever.
Many groups are operating
world to accomplish our goal.
To be precise...
we are the children of satan.
The emperor of this mighty satanic empire...
is our Akaali.
Akaali found something in her
that could help our cause.
He assigned me the task of trapping her.
Akaali gave me her details.
I started observing her.
When we were supposed to
handover her to Akaali...
her friend Anita...
somehow sniffed our place.
We didn't want to sacrifice
her for no reason.
That would hinder our rituals.
So...
we injected drugs...
and made sure that she wouldn't spill
the beans to the outside world.
To date, I don't know how Anita
learned about us and our hideout.
We believed that Janice would
be the only reason for it.
Also, things that she shared with Anita...
she might have told her mom as well.
So, I decided to finish her off as well.
That's when you met her.
Tell me the truth.
Are the seven murders
related to this?
That's part of our ritual.
Janice had no hand in
all the seven murders.
We wanted to make the
world believe that is a killer.
It was all part of my plan.
I was the one who made the reporter come
to the place where the sacrifice was planned.
In this case...
I created shreds of evidence to
frame Janice in this case.
I made Charles believe my story.
I said that the situation
was getting out of control...
and asked him to report
it to his senior.
The doofus fell for the trick.
Things were going smoothly as per the plan...
We wanted to prove Janice
guilty with enough evidence...
so, I needed the reporter.
Things happened as per my script.
But...
one thing was constantly
hovering in my mind.
if we let a guy who knows
every secret of ours...
it would be devastating
to me and my group...
I decided to put an
end to his story.
I knew it...
Compared to the six
sacrifices we made earlier...
but this seventh sacrifice
would be a greater hindrance.
But remember this.
No matter what you do
and where you hide...
our motto will succeed.
Our Akaali...
you can't escape the
iron fist of Akaali.
So, this cult...
If they wanted to frame Janice
for any of these murders...
they could have easily
got hold of her.
Considering, police also helped.
Doesn't this look like a cover-up, sir?
Yes.
Exactly.
Not just that...
Something big was planned with her.
Only you knew that Janice was innocent.
Yes.
You are right.
That night...
Eesa shared something with me.
That was a shocking
revelation to all of us.
I would call this as a clue.
There is a place in the
outskirts of the city...
and it is where Eesa gathers
information about Anita.
David and I immediately went to the place
to gather information about Anita.
Only to know...
The actual source
of the real problem...
was that place.
Take a look at this.
It is a ritual map.
The recent murders in the city...
and the symbols in the
map have similarities.
I believe that you would have noticed
these symbols at the crime scene.
If you don't mind me askng...
Where did you get these from?
When Eesa came to me to
enquire about Janice...
I retrieved the book
using my sources.
It's very ancient picture.
But trust me.
Something is very wrong
is happening here.
These are extremist groups...
who call themselves Satanists.
Satanism...
Satanism is a war...
between us and...
But these criminals are
using humans like cowards.
Ba
But we are blamed.
I can recollect the symbols in the book.
But...
I don't know, why
are they doing it.
In plain words...
It is a Wiccan Scripture scripture.
That map...
is the secret to unlock Clavis Inferno.
It directly translates...
as the key to the dark world.
What is Janice's connection here?
There is a a different
perspective here, Mr. Hamza.
All these murders are part of a
ritual before sacrificing Janice.
What?
What do you mean?
Are they going to murder Janice?
Such a humongous ritual for that?
Yes.
Why?
Clavis Inferno.
To perform the ritual...
they need a rare mutant girl.
Janice..
is the only know living
example of that mutation.
The mutation that you are referring to...
Alexandria's Genesis.
This a rare genetic anomaly
that happens to women.
Menses is a natural
process for a woman.
But a woman with this anomaly
doesn't go through it.
Oh, I see.
And they are called as...
pure breeds in the occult world.
This case's missing link...
this is the one.
These murders...
if you look at the patterns...
it will correspond with this map.
If you calculate the distance
and layout of every murder...
it will match with the
birth date of Janice.
So that group has to follow this
pattern to sacrifice the girl, right?
Yeah!
Else, the honoring will go in vain.
Se, there are Prophecies.
about people affected with
Alexandria's Genesis.
Their exact date of birth and month have
been mentioned in the old scriptures.
So, once a child is born
with the mutation...
they abduct the girl and
sacrifice to their dark deities.
but somehow...
this girl is still alive.
So, someone else is helping the girl.
Right?
Exactly...
Can't escape from those people.
Not easy.
Based on your markings...
this falls in a particular area.
Sir, if we thoroughly sieve
through the area with the cops...
we can catch them I guess.
No, David.
It will alert them.
I suspect there is a
huge nexus behind them.
They have followed the actions and
methods as mentioned in the book.
Their activities...
and movements are happening within a
particular framework. I presume so.
Am I right?
Yeah!
They can't break the protocol.
It is very vital for the ritual.
The murder spot...
Based on this map,
just as you said...
you can infer where the accused
is exactly operating from.
Right?
To be precise...
If they need to sacrifice Janice...
that needs to be done
within this circle.
And one more thing...
she would be alive.
there is still time
to perform this ritual.
My sources have confirmed that there is
an actively operating fringe group.
Also, the group is targeting the elite
people of the locality for quite some time.
But I often hear a
name in my circle.
So, he must be the leader or something.
Do you know his name?
I don't remember.
But...
People call him Father
Halloway or something.
The life we tread conceals
so many mysteries.
Till we discover them...
we can't be at peace.
we don't how long is
a journey of quest.
But...
I didn't know that the
journey will land me here.
So many hurdles...
Sturdy resistances.
beyond all these...
I'm gonna share
something with you.
Apart from solving this
case for my department...
Personally, I was curious to
unravel the mysteries in the case.
It was then...
I started to discover secrets,
mysteries and twist in the story.
There is nothing right and
nothing wrong in this life.
Perspective varies.
We blame our lives
to be pathetic.
Why?
Is it because the world
if full of evil men?
No!
The nonchalant people who don't
question the immorality...
those people are to be blamed.
Darkness!
There is definitely light
beyond the darkness.
We are fighting
against the darkness.
In the hope of seeing the
light another day...
I trusted you a lot, Father.
The reason for doing
this doesn't concern me.
Please remember this.
It's because of the girl...
you are still alive.
Else...
Else?
What will you do?
Will you kill me?
If I do so then I'm different from you.
Who is he?
A guy who looks similar to you.
The one who left when I entered.
Who is he?
Don't try to hijack the topic.
That's my brother.
Sebastian.
I'm Donald.
We are twins.
An immigrated girl worked in a tea estate
in Nandhesam, a mountainous village.
Some heinous men there
physically abused her.
We are the twins born
for those animals.
My biological mother didn't survive
long enough to see our future.
We were raised in an orphanage.
A couple who were unable
to have a baby adopted us.
Our adopted mother
raised us as her kids.
But our adopted father's
perspective differed.
As he couldn't become a father
he despised us.
we hoped that it would
change soon.
But slowly his true colors were revealed.
At night...
he collected our hair and nails...
and performed mysterious prayers.
Back then, we didn't know that...
he was worshipping satan.
People of Nandhesam...
believed the existence of
a pet of satan in the southern forest
that was cursed by their ancestors.
According to the holy scripts of satan...
the beast chooses its
messengers to serve it.
If they oblige it's command...
that would grant them a wish.
The people there believed it for ages.
My father wished to
become its messenger.
And decided to sacrifice one of us.
On a night...
Sebastian got a message that my dad
was attacked by a wild wolf.
The place he was supposedly got
attacked was Satans dwelling place.
It was the place where the animals
for sacrifice were tied.
Satans animal
ferociously devours it.
without sparring a bone.
When Sebastian arrived at the place...
my father wasn't there.
I thought he wouldn't return.
I thought that he would become the sacrificial
animal just as my father desired.
But my father wasn't aware of the fact...
Sebastian who was a product
of animals' sin...
is a beast himself.
He returned alive.
My father couldn't take it.
And he tried to kill him.
To save my brother...
I killed my father.
My mom was horrified at it.
For our better future...
she accepted the charges...
and got imprisoned.
We were orphaned once again.
We returned to the orphaned
where were raised.
Michael Freys who worked there...
became our guru.
He performed exorcism and cured
people possessed by evil spirits.
He taught us as well.
As time flew, Sebastian's nature changed.
The beast in him got exposed.
Sebastian went alone at night.
Just like our adopted father...
he performed mysterious prayers.
Michael sternly punished him for the same.
But that didn't help.
He continued performing rituals for satan.
Sebastian was able to cure
people when Michael failed.
Then Michael realized...
that Sebastian was the
messenger of satan.
To stop his growth...
Michael tried to finish off Sebastian.
But something unexpected happened.
On an early morning...
Sebastian picked up a skull
of an animal in the forest...
and produced a weird sound.
Women who heard it...
started acting crazy.
they started running towards
Michael Fraze's house like lunatics.
And they cut their throats
at once before his house.
People believed that Michael performed
black magic and got them killed.
He was arrested.
And once again...
we became lonely.
Sebastian absconded...
I was curing people using
the spiritual methods.
And I faced a situation where my
methods failed to cure patients...
It was then...
I went out looking for Sebastian...
And he had become a huge untamable beast.
He had gathered a small group...
and was practicing satanism.
He wanted to amuse his
small group of followers.
He was responsible for many
human sacrifices and murders.
My father or Michael is not
to be blamed for his nature.
People who find happiness
is others' sorrow...
are the root cause of this.
One who can't dare to fight for a cause...
like a coward...
until people stop resorting to immoral ways
like human sacrifice and black magic...
no one can stop him.
Politicians with a strong authority...
to turn things in their favor...
are nurturing Sebastian.
But his motto...
is not the wealth offered by them.
And they don't realize it yet.
Where is Janice now?
Why has Sebastian abducted her?
He can sacrifice a specific mutant girl.
Janice...
is the mutant girl.
Today is the night of sacrifice.
I tried explaining it to him.
He doesn't listen to me.
We had a heated argument.
Thinking that I might be a serious
impediment to his offerings...
Sebastian has house arrested me here.
He impersonates me...
and make people believe
that he is Donald.
Including you, Mr. Hamza.
One more important thing.
If this night passes...
and Sebastian survives this night...
that's ominous for Anita.
Remember this.
I will save Anita.
Bring Anita to my place.
Trust me.
I'm the only help you have now.

Will it provide a solution?
For ages, you conditioned the human

Sebastian!
Drop the sword.
If you hurt the girl...
you will be good as dead.
-Drop the sword.
-Why did you come here?
Get out!
I will not leave this
place without the girl.
Why are you sacrificing innocent
humans in the name of sacrifice?
Idiot!
The people whom are you trying
to save will backstab you.
But, you...
are fighting for these
menial creatures.
Our fight is to make our
people live peacefully.
Please leave this child.
I will not hurt you.
I will not come after you as well.
Trust me.
Look, Sebastian.
All I want is to see this
girl leave the place alive.
That's it.
Sebastian!
Your brother has
sacrificed a lot for you.
At least for his sake...
please quit this.
Listen to me.
If you trust me...
Anita!

During the trial of Janice murders...
2017...
Mr. Lawrence had accepted his role
as an accomplice to the cult.
and all the crimes that
they were involved in.
But, earlier...
he had mentioned
that this cult had a leader.
The Akaali.
Sebastian Halloway...
is the Akaali.
So, then what happened to Janice?
Janice wasn't there.
We made a thorough search.
No one knows where she is.
As Lawrence accepted the charges.
we confirmed that
she is a victim.
Maybe...
she was killed.
Who knows?
Okay.
So meanwhile, the investigation report
says that Donald Halloway is missing.
But he was very much present at
Anita's exorcism at the satan temple.
Then how did you
escape from there?
Two eye witnesses say that building's
roof collapsed and Donald got stuck.
Eesa and Gowtham.
But...
But when police cleared the debris...
they have noticed an
underground tunnel.
It is said that he may have
escaped through the tunnel.
I wish I conclude the case...
the way you say it ended.
Let's assume that
Janice is missing.
Or she was killed six years ago.
If Donald Halloway, the brother of
the deceased Sebastian is innocent...
who is doing these current sacrifices?
When was this photo taken?
Last evening...
these bodies were recovered from a
mountainous village called Nandhesam.
The symbols in these are
matching with Janice murders.
Do you know what these symbols mean?
And could please tell me
what really is happening.
"Has the story reached its end?"
"Did we get the answers?"
"Are the shores visible?"
"Are tides ebbing?"
"I'm rising to witness the dawn"
"The end unites us"
"Has the story reached its end?"
"Did we get the answers?"
"To realize the present
I'm forgettting my past"
"As I let me go my past,
my burden has eased"
"I make my own path
depsite losing the track"
"My bright smile would
slit through darkness"
"The road goes ever on?"
"It wishes to stride forward?"
You, Mr. Hamza Rahman...
were an integral part in solving...
the sensational Janice murders.
After this case was closed...
it's almost been 6 years.
But, thanks a lot for co-operating
for the enquiry on such short notice.
I'm Sowmya.
Sowmya Dev Varma...
representing Internal Affairs of Police.
Pertaining to the case...
I have been appointed as
the investigation officer.
I would like to get some
details about this case.
Shall we discuss this?
Of course, yes.
2016...
'Operation Black skull'
Yeah... yes!
The most unforgettable
days of my life.
The story began in a graveyard...
It was a grave incident.
What precisely do you want
to know about the case?
The untold truth!
In my opinion, this case is far from over.
Non-sense!
The accused in the case...
has been proven to be guilty.
In fact...
the same year...
Which batch do you belong to?
2017... IPS graduate... Missouri!
In that case...
I presume you got enough
knowledge about the case.
Yes!
Can you take us to the
origin of the case?
I was then investigating
another case.
It was local.
What was that?
That's...
'Bodies buried in the burial
ground went missing'.
A random complaint.
So those Janice Murders never happened?
But how did you find
the link between
your case and the Janice murders.
In other words
No one has ever inferred it yet.
Except one!
Who was it?
Charles Elwin.
He was a reporter.
Nevertheless, I can't say that he
is the first lead to this case.
But...
he was the major link.
We got closer to the culprit.
Thanks to him.
There unwinds the story.
Charles...
just in this city alone...
more than 10,000
people go missing.
And very few cases are
linked to abductions.
The rest are...
just the people who live
a better lives, man.
I'm yet to complete it.
There is a crime angle to this case.
The reason why went missing
is not a usual one.
It is all linked to...
this one girl.
Janice D' Souza.
I have seen her somewhere.
You are right.
She identifies herself as a 'Shaman'.
Shaman is the one who
practices black magic.
Charles... Charles!
I know what a Shaman is.
What are you getting at?
Cut to the point.
The sources whom I spoke of...
He is a cop!
He discussed the case with me.
She is missing along
with six other girls.
No complaint has been filed
about missing Janice.
Something creepy is happening, ma'am.
I didn't take him seriously when
he first discussed the case.
But this is where it gets interesting.
I learned something when I started browsing
through the missing persons' Facebook page.
All the 6 persons who went missing
are on her Facebook friends list.
The depth of acquaintance
is secondary.
Posts of dark magic by all of them...
is a regular pattern that links them.
All of Janice's posts are gore.
Apparently, others have admired it.
They are supporting her ideas.
Not only here but it is
widespread across the nation.
And...
you are just ignorant.
Ignorant?!
Others consciously followed her lead despite
knowing that she is a witch, right?
You just stated that they
support her ideas and reforms.
What role do we have here?
See...
If it is like a religion to them...
who are we to interfere
in other people's belief.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
Despite knowing that our society is taking
its course in a dreadful path...
and yet we are being mute spectators.
This an unforgivable crime.
So, Charles Elwin's informer...
is your informer.
No!
My informer is a localite.
As I told you earlier...
that was a random complaint.
We were assigned new jobs in siezures
and control of the drugs department.
So, naturally it have
caught your attention.
Bodies were dug out from the cemeteries...
and drugs were hoarded.
You assumed this.
Am I right?
No!
We thought so at the beginning.
But you know...
there was more.
Aarti!
Come on.
Anita!
Could you please call the Chapel?
She is our daughter.
Why don't you understand?
She might be hurt.
Please open the door.
Stop screaming and listen to me.
Leave at once.
Call the priest now.

Hamzah!
Open this!
So, you didn't find any drugs?
All you find is some skulls, crowbars
and a superstitious mob.
Now how the hell will I proceed
with the case, Hamzah?
Darn!
I learned that these guys
had abducted a girl.
Yes. Her name is Anitha.
A college student.
She seems to be little
mentally disturbed, Sir.
The girl...
Give me the torch.
Non-sense!
How is the girl doing now?
We handed her over to her parents.
Circumstantially it's not
advisable to stay at her house...
so, she is now at one of
her relative's place.
Follow my instructions.
Share the photos of these
guys to her father.
Let's see whether he can
identify any one of them.
One more important thing.
Her change in behavior
happened most recently.
Someone has influenced her.
I spoke to her parents.
Did you make them file a return complaint?
Yes, Sir.
Sir...
don't you find these things strange?
Assuming that they are
petty skull mongers...
why did they abduct the girl?
Why did they commit suicide
when we cornered them?
There's nothing strange in this.
Nothing surprises me, Hamzah.
When a man is forced to face a critical
situation and he can't take bail himself out...
suicide is obvious
foolish decision.
A dastardly cowardly act.
Got it?
It's a dangerous situation.
We might be a technologically
developed nation...
ironically, people are ruining their lives. Thanks to witchcraft, human sacrifices, and superstitious beliefs.
That's interesting.
But...
Let's say that we do
follow up on this case...
the department will stamp
us as lunatics and fire us.
And if there exists a
leader of the group...
we can't even get closer to him.
I'm pretty sure about it.
Just get back to the business.
Don't get excited about
this witchcraft.
They are just a bunch of crazy weirdos.
Non-sense.
And...
get rid of these dead bodies.
Got it?
So, the outcome of this case...
was a misfire.
As quoted by you.
Isn't it contradictory?
Because at the very same
place you got a vital clue.
Anita!
It was our first meeting.
Everyone who testified in this case...
including her parents...
confessed that she is possessed
and it was an effect of sorcery.
It's their belief.
But...
she was pondering
about something else.
So if I'm getting it alright...
Your first clue in this case...
was this girl?
Yes!
She was!
But...
But we started to encounter
bizarre incidents.
To begin with...
An officer went missing in
the course of this operation.
You are referring to officer
Selvam, am I right?
Mutilated bodies have been in various
places around Pallavaram, Chennai.
Suspicions have been raised that
this might be an act of black magic.
Based on the information
acquired from the spot...
it is alleged that a young lady,
Janice is the prime suspect.
The cops are seriously
searching for the woman.
'A video recorded in a reporter's
mobile stands witness to the murder.'
The cops say so.
Mr. Rahul is reporting
from the crime scene.
What updates have you got?
Can we expect the police to
give out any fresh information?
Greetings!
The cops have swarmed
up this place.
There is tension in the air.
Sources say that the guy who
shot the video is dead.
His name is Charles and he is a reporter.
Seven bodies including his have been found.
The girl seen in the footage is Janice.
The cell phone hasn't been found yet...
but before he passed away...
the journalist has shared
the video with his peers.
The sources from the police department
says that the phone might be with Janice.
The police department is affirmative that they will
soon catch the culprit with evidence they got.
We can sense the shock waves that this horrendous
incident has created across the nation.
We can call it a black day.
How could this happen?
She might have just completed
her college studies.
But learning that she killed
six people for witchcraft.
I can't digest it.
Good that the reporter shot it.
The video is the only evidence we got.
If not...
such crimes can't be solved forever.
True, Sir.
What's the name of the reporter?
Elwin... Charles Elwin.
He looks familiar.
David...
What about Selvam?
Did you enquire?
No, sir.
I tried in all the possible ways.
As time passes...
I sense something is fishy.
Can we alert the commissioner?
Alright.
You let him know.
Sir!
Selvam's wife is calling.
Why is she calling?
Maybe shows know it.
Not a chance.
Sir...
Hello!
Hello, Sir!
Where are you, sir?
This is Mr. Hamzah.
-What happened?
-Can you hear me?
Yes, I can.
What happened to Selvam?
He is acting weird.
-I'm clueless.
-What? When did Selvam come?
I'm scared.
Hello!
Selvam!
-Call him!
-It's switched off.
- Go to the other side.
- Okay, Sir.
Selvam!
- Sir!
- David!
I checked the other side.
All the other doors are locked.
When did you return?
Can't you inform us?
What are you doing inside?
Your wife was crying.
What happened to her?
Selvam?!
She is sleeping.
You may leave.
Sir!
What do we do now?
Did you notice his eyes?
He is behaving oddly.
Yeah! I noticed it too.
Shall I get inside and take a look...
Let's leave this place.
Sir!
-Sir, please stop.
-What?
Blood stains on your shirt.
Check out for any injuries.
Selvam!
Tell me, David.
Things are not right.
The door is open.
Get in.
David!
David!
Selvam!
David, come here.
David!
Help me!
Hold her!
Slowly!
Sure, Sir.
No problem.
You don't worry, Sir.
Yes. No problem.
-How's Selvam's wife?
-She is alright.
But not sure why Selvam behaved so.
-How's David?
-He is fine.
A small injury.
Otherwise he is fine, Sir.
Yes, Sir
And you have to investigate
one more person.
Sure, sir.
Yes, Sir.
Keep it confidential.
Sure, Sir.
I think we may get some leads.
Okay, Sir. Definitely, Sir.
Thank you.
Before these murders took place...
your reporter Charles
had all the information.
He has perfectly gathered
the information.
Did he discuss the
source of the information?
No, sir.
In fact...
We have discussed it
just a couple of times.
And the last time we
spoke about it...
Our last discussion
ended in a debate.
That was just yesterday.
And Sir...
Probably, someone from your department...
somebody was giving him
leads on this issue, Sir.
Did he specifically
mention anyones name?
No, sir.
Nothing specific.
Let the file be with us.
No one else needs to know about this.
Before these murders took place...
this reporter had
all the information.
Gathering such information about such
secret cults is not an easy task.
Maybe he had an informer, right?
The woman said the same thing.
Someone from our department
has passed the information.
This woman has warned him once.
He has gone there at
someone's insistence.
Sir...
This girl...
Anita Francis!
-Are you on Facebook?
-I'm.
Check this profile.
Sir...
She is the one.
Look at this, sir.
The girl and her parents in a photo.
Excuse me, sir.
Sir..
This girl is a mutual friend
of murder suspect Janice.
They belong to the same college.
Check, the year of her college completion.
She has mentioned it as
the 'Class of 2010'.
So, she is a senior of Anita.
But every incident coincides
as if it was pre-planned.
Yes.
We identified this body
from the other corpses.
We were able to jump to a
conclusion only after 24 hours.
But...
But where is Janice?
We had no answer to the question.
Amongst these two incidents...
only kidnapping case falls under
your jurisdiction, right?
Yeah!
Once we learned about the kidnapping...
We shifted Anita and her
family to a safer place.
And..
I instructed David to
investigate at the crime scene.
Meanwhile...
Yes, David?
He is running a clothes pressing
shop in Anita's locality.
I enquired him about Janice.
Oh, okay.
He says that he has seen Janice
and Anita together many a time.
He says that they got
closer in recent times.
Doesn't Anita have other friends?
She had three close
friends for a long time.
All three of them are her classmates.
They are Eesa, Yasmin, and Gowtham.
They don't have any suspicious backgrounds.
And Yasmin is a daughter
of a military officer.
Also, she is a state
level shooting champion.
As they fought with Anita recently...
All these three distanced
themselves from Anita.
'Only after that Janice and Anita
got closer', says the group.
One thing is for sure.
Anita has a strong connection with Janice.
Yes, Sir.
David, I have reached her house.
Okay, Sir.
I'll call you back.
Hello!
I'm speaking to Mr. Hamza?
Yeah!
You had admitted a patient named
Selvam early morning, right?
Yeah!
I'm his doctor.
Yes, doctor?
We have detected an unsual
drug in his system.
I don't know if you had
heard of this before.
It is called Flakka.
Flakka's victims are very dangerous.
They have no control over their body.
And they tend to be very agressive.
In fact it is even called Zombie drug.
These are modern day synthetic
compounds made of bath salts...
and other...
Hello!
Hello...
- Sir, are you there?
- Yeah...
Yeah, doctor.
I'm with you.
Alright! I just wanted to
keep you informed of this.
And he should be fine
with in 24 hours.
Also, there is a
suspicion mark on his neck.
- I will send a picture of it.
- OKay, doctor.
Thank you.
Are you sure that this is the house?
This is the location
that Anita's mom shared.
Hold on a second, Eesa.
Let me call.
Hello!
Hello!
Your building is the white one, right?
Why are you outside?
Get in, Yasmin...
Eesa, this is the house.
Let's go.
Buddy, you stay in the car.
His dad might create a ruckus.
Hence I insist that
Yasmin and I go meet him. Okay?
Why did you invite them now, Aarti?
Stop being a sadist, Richard.
Anita's situation is getting worse.
If her friends are there with
her, she will feel better.
Why can't you just understand, Richard?
Don't pick an unnecessary fight.
Just move.
Where are you, bro?
Need to discuss
something important.
I know the whereabouts of Shabir.
I will go to his place in the
pretext of buying stuff.
-Can you come over?
-I will. Hang up.
Take a look at this photo.
Look at the circled portion.
Zoom it.
I remember that I found a
similar mark on Anita's neck.
Sir it is the same.
-I have seen a similar mark on Anita's neck.
-Don't blurt out some random things, Aarti.
Anita doesn't have such a mark.
I'm sure, Sir.
It's the same.
What do you mean, Aarti?
Every word that comes out of your
mouth will put her in more danger.
Don't you have a conscience?
Hiding the truth isn't going to help.
Will you stop it?
I'm here to help you.
Please trust me.
We said we know nothing, Sir.
Yet you force us to say something.
You have no idea how
serious the issue is.
This is related to superstitious
criminal activity.
I can't list out all the details for you.
Look!
Is Anita subjected to drug abuse?
Sir!
I'm asking this because...
This behavior is a
pattern of drug abusers.
-Hence I'm asking you.
-What do you mean?
We know our girl.
Helping my girl doesn't give you a
free license to stack allegations.
You are just nodding your head.
You are merely acknowledging him.
-Listen!
-Get lost!
Why don't you understand, Richard?
This is the guy about whom I spoke over the phone.
He lives close to Anita's house.
Come here.
Sir?
-What's your name?
-Vicky!
Take a seat.
-Have it.
-It's okay.
You heard me.
What's the issue between them?
Who?
Hey, don't act smart.
He is referring to the fight
between Anita and her friends.
Speak out.
Anita was close to a girl named Janice.
I don't know the reason.
As she got closer to Janice...
she cut off her friendship
with Yasmin, Gowtham, and Eesa.
Who gives you such information?
Eesa!
He came to me to know about Janice.
Why did he come to you?
I'm an Instagram friend of Janice.
So...
I immediately unfollowed her once
I found that she is a murderer.
Janice shares pics and posts
related to Satan were so weird.
Especially the 'worship of Satan' dance...
Let me cut to the point.
Eesa ratted out Janice
to Anita's mother.
It ended up in a fight.
Thus, broke the group and
they stopped talking to her.
On some random day, I was on my terrace
and I heard a sound of a vehicle.
I got curious and peeped to know
that it is my 'Lady Leader'.
'Lady Leader'?
Yes, bro.
What?
It was an inadvertent one.
Forgive me.
I didn't mean it.
Janice along with
Anita came by bike.
Did you notice anything?
They went inside the house.
Go sit over there.
I'll call you.
Ok, Sir.
- David?
- Sir?
Drop him and wait there.
I'll call you if I got any
further instructions.
Okay, SIr.
Go.
You showed me a photo and asked me
about the marks on Anita's neck.
It is the same.
I was easily able to recognize it.
Over time, the marks have faded.
That's all.
You could have consulted a doctor
as soon as you noticed it.
No, sir.
We were going to.
But Richard didn't feel safe.
We know a healer.
My husband's friend.
At least, had you consulted a doctor...
you would had some medical report.
We could have studied her behavior.
Anyway...
Hey!
What's happening?
Attend the call or disconnect it.
Who is calling?
It is Eesa.
Pick up the call.
Moron!
-Where are you?
-On my way.
-Where are you?
-I have reached.
-Where are you? How long can I wait?
-I...
Oh no!
Gowtham's calling me.
If you spill the beans with Gowtham,
I'm gonna break your mouth.
Tackle Gowtham.
-What can I do?
-Come soon.
-What if they come here?
-I will talk.
Alright!
Where are you, Vicky?
-I called umpteen times Where is Eesa?
-Tell me.
-You were talking to him, right?
-I was talking to my friend.
Both the lines are busy.
-Trust me, bro.
-I'm gonna kill you.
He is with us because of Anita's issue.
I know he is coming to meet you.
So, tell me where you are.
Can you hear me?
You douchebag...
I can't hear you.
What's happening?
Sir...
I need to be at Chindadripet.
-Someone's in trouble?
-Trouble?
Please keep moving, sir.
I will tell you on the way.
So, Mr. David...
Somewhere around 1 to 1.30...
What happened when you were taking Vicky@
Vignesh, the neighbor of Anita, back home?
And if I'm not wrong...
You were taking him to
Chindadripet instead of his home.
Why?
We had confirmed something
while enquiring Vicky.
Anita and her friends know Janice.
Also, one more person was
involved in this case.
To be clear...
Vicky, Eesa, and her friend Gowtham...
were investigating something.
We joined the dots...
we got closer to the first
accused of the case.
He is a localite.
He is known by the name of Shabir bhai.
Sultry weather!
I just can't take it.
Stick to a path, oldie.
Kids!
How can you play in such weather?
There you are.
Why did you leave the shop unattended?
Do I look like a babe?
Why are you stalking me?
Are Anita and Janice besties?
Sir...
Only recently they got acquainted.
I didn't like Janice
getting along with Anita.
If Anita hooks onto something,
it is very hard to undo it.
Who takes up an Occultus
project for the final exams?
You have no idea what
they are going to do.
This is their common discussion point.
She was is into all
these dark topics.
What did you say the
name of the healer was?
Donald Halloway.
I need to meet him.
Sir, I feel very uncomfortable with him.
You need not join us.
I will personally meet him.
Okay, Sir.
What's happening here, Father?
Dark magic crimes are on the
rise in the age of technology.
Is this a selfish act of someone?
Or the greed of humans?
If the desire is a crime...
everyone in the world
is a criminal.
Sir!
Here, sir.
Hello, sir.
What brings you here, sir?
Here for an enquiry.
Oh!
What is it?
Do you know someone by
the name Shabir bhai?
Yes, he lives around.
Where can I find him?
I think he will be at Jameen shed.
Do you want backup?
Thanks. I will take care.
It's a small enquiry.
Okay, Sir.
Call me for any help.
Bye, Sir.
Come with me.
A dimwit!
It wasn't worth the wait.
Look at his face! So pale...
-Let's burn him alive.
-Scoot.
So audacious?
You kept trailing.
Who are you, stranger?
Do you want to know who I'm?
Will you run a vehicle over me?
What's he blabbering?
I'm seeing you for the first time.
Don't talk nonsense.
-I'm warning you.
-I have video evidence of what you did.
We know everything about
you and your boss.
You
But now you are doomed.
But I'm gonna send you to hell now.
Leave him.
-Let me kill him.
-Ignore him.
Come with me, Sir.
-This is the place he mentioned.
-It's election time.
We are doomed if caught.
Let me go.
He must be here.
-Is it the one?
-This is the Jameen shed that he mentioned.
Check out who is that.
Are you guys armed?
-Yes we are.
-We do.
Bhai...
-The cops are here.
-What's happening?
What if he brought them to us?
I'm gonna finish him up.
Go to hell.
Father...
Is Anita really controlled
by a supernatural power?
Or would someone control
her instilling fear?
The mind is a place where good and
evil thoughts are constantly produced.
We have to take things in control, dwindle
and finally decimate the evil thoughts.
Low confidence and inferiority complex...
would compound and turn into a force.
The force will make
decisions on behalf of you.
Some say...
it's a state of mind.
Astral plane!
If you are a man of beliefs...
this power is a demon.
worship, human sacrifice
and manipulating people.
- and dedicating one's life...
- You are right, father.
I understand.
Anita is in the exact state
of mind that you described.
The astral phase... right.
Yes.
One man controlling another...
Is there any technique to do it?
Mr. Hamza...
In this world everybody's
controlled by an external force.
It can be political, May be religious.
or emoitional.
Someway or the other.
See... you get annoyed when
your wife controls you.
but you feel nice when your
mother does the same to you.
Okay.
Back to the question...
A person controlled with the
help of drugs or hypnotherapy.
Poor Anita.
She has learned something that she shouldn't
have and which is totally not related to her.
Some person who is affected by this...
or the society he/she belongs to
has pushed her into their world.
Go!
-Come here, bhai.
-Sir! Here I come.
It has been quite a time.
Why are the cops of other
limits looking out for you?
Police?
The human sacrifice case is being
investigated in the particular station.
Their cops are looking out for you.
I think it must be a misunderstanding.
Tell me the truth if you
are really involved in it.
Sir, you know about me.
I have my own set of things.
I saved you by diverting
them as I know you. And here I'm.
-Diverted to?
-The Jameen shed.
They must have gone there.
Alright, sir.
Meet him and pass on the information
to my superior Is that clear?
-Okay, sir.
-Take care.
Go!
How did they end up here?
Father...
she had a friend named Janice.
Do you believe that she
is the murderer?
What could have been a
motive for such a young woman?
No matter what the motive is...
we have to focus on the tool she used.
Witchcraft!
Because human sacrifice isn't
propagated by any other faith.
So, the girl has been
influenced by witchcraft.
No!
She is not influenced...
but she is practising witchcraft.
Practitioners of witchcraft
don't see this as a murder.
It's only an offering.
An offering.
A belief that a human sacrifice would make
them as powerful as the goddess of demons.
Especially when the victim is dear to them.
the offering...
You know...
What about Anita?
Poor Anita...
She was forced into the dark
world by some selfish people.
Not sure how long can she fight back there.
Soon, we have to bring her out.
Back to the light.
You see...
Every one of us was just
looking for one thing.
Why did Anita turn into this woman?
We, the cops, father, and Anita's friends & family...
We were just looking out for the answer.
Except Janice.
Can I tell you why?
After you met the father...
you were confident that
you can find Janice.
But meanwhile another human
sacrifice has taken place.
Do you know why?
Because Janice D'Souza has
always been the murderer.
What is it, Parthiban?
What's the update?
The victim has been working
here as a laborer for 15 years.
People in the surrounding
area are familiar with him.
But he is in no way connected
with Janice's gang.
This time they have
chosen a random victim.
He was tortured to death, Sir.
Okay.
Mr. Hamza...
this is Mr. Parthiban.
The investigating officer in this case.
Hello, Sir.
We were able to decode some symbols
found in the previous murder spot.
And they have left the
same symbols here too.
- This is definitely the same group.
- Impossible.
We are looking out for an
individual name Janice.
How can it be a group?
No, Sir.
He is right.
A large mob is driving Janice.
I'm sure they would have
influenced by the Pagan ideology.
May be, but...
It sounds strange.
What does this symbol mean, exactly?
- Akaali, sir.
- What?
It means Akaali, Sir.
- Akaali?
- Yes, Sir.
It's derived from
multiple languages.
'Kaal' means death.
'Akaal' means immortal.
When these words are combined
are referred to a person...
they are called Akaali.
which means...
This means the word 'Akaali'...
maybe a prominent
symbol in their group.
Yes, Sir.
Okay.
Sir...
Sir, please wait.
Listen to me.
Sir, please.
Give me a minute, sir.
Please!
It is not going to work out, Mr. Hamza.
It's because you started to
investigate Janice's mother...
things went wrong.
She is in a state of shock.
Rather I would say that she didn't
believe anyone rather than 'shock'.
If we make her understand
that we are helping her...
then they will co-operate with us.
There are more chances that she might
know the whereabouts of Anita.
we have lots of possibilities, Sir.
- Sir... please, Sir.
- Bullshit!
- Just one attempt, Sir.
- Absolutely no possiblities.
There is a huge risk involved in this.
Do you know that?
Try to make her tell the truth...
and get out of that place
within ten minutes.
- Sir, please.
- I have orders.
Only ten minutes.
Got it?
And...
if anything goes wrong...
you will be held responsible.
Is that clear?
Yes.
It was unofficial enquiry.
Since Anita and Janice are close friends...
to gather some clues about Anita...
I went to meet Janice's mom.
That's all.
Your colleagues don't
know about your visit.
Why did you go alone?
Don't you think this alone
raises enough suspicion?
I was never alone.
I was never alone.
Concerning this case...
No one is alone.
No matter where and how one goes...
the person will feel that
he/she is being followed.
But...
you can't see who
is following you.
In fact...
When we were fighting
against darkness...
most of the time...
ironically the darkness helped us.
Look at this, madam.
Her name is Anita.
Has your daughter shared
anything about this girl?
Or have you seen this girl?
You can trust me.
You will be safe.
You can discuss anything with me.
I will take care.
What happened, madam?
They are here.
Leave this place.
Go!
They are here.
They are here, sir.
Madam...
Leave this place.
-Please, madam.
-Leave this place.
Don't be scared.
Relax!
I will be back.
Drink this.
You are fine.
Nothing to worry about.
Give me a minute.
Where are you, sir?
What happened, madam?
Over there.
Over there.
Come on!
What are you doing?
Are you nuts?
Get up, man.
Mr. Dough face.
Are you trying to fool me?
Get up or else...
Come on!
Drop the gun.
I won't.
She is dangerous.
You don't know things.
Listen to me.
Drop the gun.
I'm trying to help you.
Please leave this place at once.
I'm warning you.
Drop the gun.
This is your final warning.
Here you are.
Come on.
Get up!
You
-This is your final warning.
-So audacious! Warning me?
I'm your senior officer.
Drop the gun.
This is our internal issue.
Please don't interfere.
If you don't listen to me, I will
have to forcibly use the weapon.
-Shut up and I dare to shoot.
-Get away!
Come on!
Do it!
It's a grave mistake.
Please go aside.
-Shoot me.
-No, sir.
What are you up to, madam?
Drop the lighter.
I said drop it.
Who the hell are you, man?
Stop there.
Guys, tie him up.
Gather our people and surround them!
Fire it.
- Please.
- Don't get closer.
You heard me.
- Don't torment me.
- Listen to me.
Stop there.
I don't get you.
Anita has shared
something with Janice.
I'm here to know that.
I know why you are here.
You were sent to kill me, right?
Stop it, madam.
Trust me.
I will protect you.
Stop, man.
Eesa!
Throw the lighter towards me.
I said 'Throw it'.
Did you expect this?
He left no room for humanity
to help fellow beings.
I have just one question in mind.
Why do this?
Ego!
Power!
Everybody wants a power!
Humans are running after authority.
To be straight...
A human is hunting his fellow
being like a wild animal.
In the end, he too bites the dust.
I do get it.
Looking back at history...
no matter how
devastating the events are...
human race has
resiliently bounced back.
At such unpleasant times...
time and hope are quintessential.
So, based on your statement...
even before these murders...
Janice's mom was being
controlled by someone else.
You are right.
And Mariam's murder...
was it a part of this ritual?
Maybe.
So, after a while, they started
to come after you as well.
How did you handle it?
I couldn't think much back then.
Mariam D' Souza's murder...
it felt like a setup.
If I really wanted to get out of this...
I had to find where Janice is.
Such was the situation.
I got the place.
I know where Janice is...
Eesa...
How did you get hold of this?
Sir...
Please tell him, Eesa.
Just spit out the
unfiltered truth.
What do you expect from me?
What do you want to know?
Does anyone know what's happening around?
Sir...
The problems started when
Janice went missing.
Anita was deeply affected by it.
She was determined to find Janice
and she made sincere efforts.
That's when Anita called
me and asked a favor.
When Janice last met Anita she
shared some strange scriptures.
Anita was just curious if she could
decode anything from these scriptures.
I unwillingly agreed to
help her in this regard.
But I looked at it as
a good opportunity.
I felt that it was a chance
to get her out of this cult.
As she promised me that she
wouldn't go after such things...
I met a guy who had enough knowledge
about this mysterious world.
They are akin to a secret society.
When he explained some things
about the scriptures...
It was shocking.
He asked me to warn her about
the dangers of it.
I tried to contact her...
But before I could make her realize...
a big mishap interrupted
That's when Aarti Madam
asked to meet her.
She was worried that Anita has returned...
and she also said that she
went out to meet someone.
My mind blacked out.
Trying to figure out about her...
I went crazy...
That's when I got a
video message from her.
That's the clip you watched.
I didn't share a thing about
this video to anyone.
Gowtham and I went to the local police
station to file a complaint about it.
The constable there saw the
video and treated us harshly...
and asked us to
immediately delete it.
-'He inquired if there was another copy'.
-No, sir. This is the only footage.
They also collected our
personal details and addresses.
They also collected Anita's
address along with our addresses.
As Gowtham and I did these
without informing Yasmin...
You talk as if we give a damn about Anita.
Let's ponder about the next plan.
I will face the consequences.
This incident got us perplexed.
That's when a couple of guys on a
bike crossed throwing a stare.
I know all the folks in my locality.
I will spot a stranger at first sight.
They kept noticing us.
I didn't take it seriously as our judgment
might go wrong when we are tense.
You can't say that you will
face the consequences, Eesa.
-Move!
-Yasmin.
Gowtham and I kept
talking after she left.
Only then I realized that those bike guys
kept moving to and fro in our street.
Who are these guys roaming in our place?
Hey, Eesa!
I was curious to see them.
Eesa!
What happened, Eesa?
Doesn't that house have CCTV?
There is no CCTV in our street.
But definitely, they would
crossed nearby streets.
When enquired about the same, the car
which rammed me was recorded on CCTV.
We noted the car number and traced the owner.
Later we met him.
We explained about the incident.
He told a story that got us stunned.
When he and his friends
were returning from a party...
they were caught at a police
checkpost for drunk and driving.
The car owner and his friends
were taken away in a jeep.
He said that someone stole his car.
We couldn't believe his story.
But he got evidence to back his story.
The incident was recorded on his friend's phone
which accidentally slipped in the car.
The footage opened our eyes...
that this was a planned trap by the local
inspector Lawrence and Sabir bhai.
Hence Vicky and I were after Sabir bhai.
We were so confused and couldn't
trust anyone not even the cops.
Sorry, Sir.
You got a message.
Open it.
The time was 11 O'clock.
From Janice's social media account...
-'Eesa got a message'.
-Janice has sent a message.
But he is not the only
one who got the message.
Eesa's other two friends, Gowtham and Yasmin...
also got the same message?
Yes.
It was then...
we inferred that a mob is
operating behind the scene.
I felt that those kids need
to be at the location shared by Janice.
Because...
someone was tapping their mobile phone.
So...
David and I took those three guys there.
Ask him to stay inside.
You three stay inside the car.
We shall alert you if
know about Janice. Okay?
- Okay.
- Okay, Sir.
Take care.
I have instruced them, Sir.
Let's go.
Sir...
- Where are you going?
- Stay here. I'll be back.
Don't Eesa...
Lawrence sir.
Relax, Sir.
David, check out who was that.
Where did he go?
Who are you?
Lawrence?
Stop!
Hey, stop there.
Don't run!
Lawrence!
Lawrence sir!
Lawrence sir!
Where are you?
Yasmin, get to the car.
Sir...
Why did you come here?
Get out!
Go!
Stop there.
Stop!
Don't get closer.
Fall back.
I got nothing to do with this.
-Get away!
-If you got nothing to do with this...
why did you run away from us?
I got evidence.
You were scared that I
would leak them out.
Where is Janice?
Why don't you get it?
-I'm not one of them. Got it?
-Shoot me.
I said 'fall back'
You are not gonna listen?
Retreat!
Run!
Come on!
Run!
Why did you save us?
Let me go!
I just followed the instructions
of Inspector Lawrence.
I'm just a hired henchman.
You traced me out.
He got smart and got me trapped.
I don't have enough time to
explain everything to you.
This is not a safe place to be.
Why are you saying
irrelevant things?
I will kill you both
if you keep fighting.
-Call them.
-Please don't kill me.
I said 'call'.
-Eesa?
-Where are you?
Inside the building.
We are cornered.
Are you safe?
We are.
Where are you?
We...
we...
Remember we parked the car?
-Yeah.
-We are at the building next to it.
I will send Gowtham.
get away from this place in the car.
I will take care of things.
Come.
Let's go, sir.
Get up.
Move!
Gowtham, stay strong.
I will have you covered and make
sure that they don't get near you.
Go.
Go.
You, masked bitches!
Don't you have any
value for human lives?
Go convey my message to your Satan.
'Your lives have been
sacrificed to 12 mm bullets'
Farewell to hell!
-Get in.
-Come on.
Move!
How are you and Janice related?
Why are so many people protecting her?
Is she the Akaali?
If you try to cook up a story...
You
The Akaali, you are looking for...
is not Janice, Hamzah.
We don't know where she is.
But...
earlier...
she was in our custody.
This unworthy human race...
has to end forever.
Many groups are operating
world to accomplish our goal.
To be precise...
we are the children of satan.
The emperor of this mighty satanic empire...
is our Akaali.
Akaali found something in her
that could help our cause.
He assigned me the task of trapping her.
Akaali gave me her details.
I started observing her.
When we were supposed to
handover her to Akaali...
her friend Anita...
somehow sniffed our place.
We didn't want to sacrifice
her for no reason.
That would hinder our rituals.
So...
we injected drugs...
and made sure that she wouldn't spill
the beans to the outside world.
To date, I don't know how Anita
learned about us and our hideout.
We believed that Janice would
be the only reason for it.
Also, things that she shared with Anita...
she might have told her mom as well.
So, I decided to finish her off as well.
That's when you met her.
Tell me the truth.
Are the seven murders
related to this?
That's part of our ritual.
Janice had no hand in
all the seven murders.
We wanted to make the
world believe that is a killer.
It was all part of my plan.
I was the one who made the reporter come
to the place where the sacrifice was planned.
In this case...
I created shreds of evidence to
frame Janice in this case.
I made Charles believe my story.
I said that the situation
was getting out of control...
and asked him to report
it to his senior.
The doofus fell for the trick.
Things were going smoothly as per the plan...
We wanted to prove Janice
guilty with enough evidence...
so, I needed the reporter.
Things happened as per my script.
But...
one thing was constantly
hovering in my mind.
if we let a guy who knows
every secret of ours...
it would be devastating
to me and my group...
I decided to put an
end to his story.
I knew it...
Compared to the six
sacrifices we made earlier...
but this seventh sacrifice
would be a greater hindrance.
But remember this.
No matter what you do
and where you hide...
our motto will succeed.
Our Akaali...
you can't escape the
iron fist of Akaali.
So, this cult...
If they wanted to frame Janice
for any of these murders...
they could have easily
got hold of her.
Considering, police also helped.
Doesn't this look like a cover-up, sir?
Yes.
Exactly.
Not just that...
Something big was planned with her.
Only you knew that Janice was innocent.
Yes.
You are right.
That night...
Eesa shared something with me.
That was a shocking
revelation to all of us.
I would call this as a clue.
There is a place in the
outskirts of the city...
and it is where Eesa gathers
information about Anita.
David and I immediately went to the place
to gather information about Anita.
Only to know...
The actual source
of the real problem...
was that place.
Take a look at this.
It is a ritual map.
The recent murders in the city...
and the symbols in the
map have similarities.
I believe that you would have noticed
these symbols at the crime scene.
If you don't mind me askng...
Where did you get these from?
When Eesa came to me to
enquire about Janice...
I retrieved the book
using my sources.
It's very ancient picture.
But trust me.
Something is very wrong
is happening here.
These are extremist groups...
who call themselves Satanists.
Satanism...
Satanism is a war...
between us and...
But these criminals are
using humans like cowards.
Ba
But we are blamed.
I can recollect the symbols in the book.
But...
I don't know, why
are they doing it.
In plain words...
It is a Wiccan Scripture scripture.
That map...
is the secret to unlock Clavis Inferno.
It directly translates...
as the key to the dark world.
What is Janice's connection here?
There is a a different
perspective here, Mr. Hamza.
All these murders are part of a
ritual before sacrificing Janice.
What?
What do you mean?
Are they going to murder Janice?
Such a humongous ritual for that?
Yes.
Why?
Clavis Inferno.
To perform the ritual...
they need a rare mutant girl.
Janice..
is the only know living
example of that mutation.
The mutation that you are referring to...
Alexandria's Genesis.
This a rare genetic anomaly
that happens to women.
Menses is a natural
process for a woman.
But a woman with this anomaly
doesn't go through it.
Oh, I see.
And they are called as...
pure breeds in the occult world.
This case's missing link...
this is the one.
These murders...
if you look at the patterns...
it will correspond with this map.
If you calculate the distance
and layout of every murder...
it will match with the
birth date of Janice.
So that group has to follow this
pattern to sacrifice the girl, right?
Yeah!
Else, the honoring will go in vain.
Se, there are Prophecies.
about people affected with
Alexandria's Genesis.
Their exact date of birth and month have
been mentioned in the old scriptures.
So, once a child is born
with the mutation...
they abduct the girl and
sacrifice to their dark deities.
but somehow...
this girl is still alive.
So, someone else is helping the girl.
Right?
Exactly...
Can't escape from those people.
Not easy.
Based on your markings...
this falls in a particular area.
Sir, if we thoroughly sieve
through the area with the cops...
we can catch them I guess.
No, David.
It will alert them.
I suspect there is a
huge nexus behind them.
They have followed the actions and
methods as mentioned in the book.
Their activities...
and movements are happening within a
particular framework. I presume so.
Am I right?
Yeah!
They can't break the protocol.
It is very vital for the ritual.
The murder spot...
Based on this map,
just as you said...
you can infer where the accused
is exactly operating from.
Right?
To be precise...
If they need to sacrifice Janice...
that needs to be done
within this circle.
And one more thing...
she would be alive.
there is still time
to perform this ritual.
My sources have confirmed that there is
an actively operating fringe group.
Also, the group is targeting the elite
people of the locality for quite some time.
But I often hear a
name in my circle.
So, he must be the leader or something.
Do you know his name?
I don't remember.
But...
People call him Father
Halloway or something.
The life we tread conceals
so many mysteries.
Till we discover them...
we can't be at peace.
we don't how long is
a journey of quest.
But...
I didn't know that the
journey will land me here.
So many hurdles...
Sturdy resistances.
beyond all these...
I'm gonna share
something with you.
Apart from solving this
case for my department...
Personally, I was curious to
unravel the mysteries in the case.
It was then...
I started to discover secrets,
mysteries and twist in the story.
There is nothing right and
nothing wrong in this life.
Perspective varies.
We blame our lives
to be pathetic.
Why?
Is it because the world
if full of evil men?
No!
The nonchalant people who don't
question the immorality...
those people are to be blamed.
Darkness!
There is definitely light
beyond the darkness.
We are fighting
against the darkness.
In the hope of seeing the
light another day...
I trusted you a lot, Father.
The reason for doing
this doesn't concern me.
Please remember this.
It's because of the girl...
you are still alive.
Else...
Else?
What will you do?
Will you kill me?
If I do so then I'm different from you.
Who is he?
A guy who looks similar to you.
The one who left when I entered.
Who is he?
Don't try to hijack the topic.
That's my brother.
Sebastian.
I'm Donald.
We are twins.
An immigrated girl worked in a tea estate
in Nandhesam, a mountainous village.
Some heinous men there
physically abused her.
We are the twins born
for those animals.
My biological mother didn't survive
long enough to see our future.
We were raised in an orphanage.
A couple who were unable
to have a baby adopted us.
Our adopted mother
raised us as her kids.
But our adopted father's
perspective differed.
As he couldn't become a father
he despised us.
we hoped that it would
change soon.
But slowly his true colors were revealed.
At night...
he collected our hair and nails...
and performed mysterious prayers.
Back then, we didn't know that...
he was worshipping satan.
People of Nandhesam...
believed the existence of
a pet of satan in the southern forest
that was cursed by their ancestors.
According to the holy scripts of satan...
the beast chooses its
messengers to serve it.
If they oblige it's command...
that would grant them a wish.
The people there believed it for ages.
My father wished to
become its messenger.
And decided to sacrifice one of us.
On a night...
Sebastian got a message that my dad
was attacked by a wild wolf.
The place he was supposedly got
attacked was Satans dwelling place.
It was the place where the animals
for sacrifice were tied.
Satans animal
ferociously devours it.
without sparring a bone.
When Sebastian arrived at the place...
my father wasn't there.
I thought he wouldn't return.
I thought that he would become the sacrificial
animal just as my father desired.
But my father wasn't aware of the fact...
Sebastian who was a product
of animals' sin...
is a beast himself.
He returned alive.
My father couldn't take it.
And he tried to kill him.
To save my brother...
I killed my father.
My mom was horrified at it.
For our better future...
she accepted the charges...
and got imprisoned.
We were orphaned once again.
We returned to the orphaned
where were raised.
Michael Freys who worked there...
became our guru.
He performed exorcism and cured
people possessed by evil spirits.
He taught us as well.
As time flew, Sebastian's nature changed.
The beast in him got exposed.
Sebastian went alone at night.
Just like our adopted father...
he performed mysterious prayers.
Michael sternly punished him for the same.
But that didn't help.
He continued performing rituals for satan.
Sebastian was able to cure
people when Michael failed.
Then Michael realized...
that Sebastian was the
messenger of satan.
To stop his growth...
Michael tried to finish off Sebastian.
But something unexpected happened.
On an early morning...
Sebastian picked up a skull
of an animal in the forest...
and produced a weird sound.
Women who heard it...
started acting crazy.
they started running towards
Michael Fraze's house like lunatics.
And they cut their throats
at once before his house.
People believed that Michael performed
black magic and got them killed.
He was arrested.
And once again...
we became lonely.
Sebastian absconded...
I was curing people using
the spiritual methods.
And I faced a situation where my
methods failed to cure patients...
It was then...
I went out looking for Sebastian...
And he had become a huge untamable beast.
He had gathered a small group...
and was practicing satanism.
He wanted to amuse his
small group of followers.
He was responsible for many
human sacrifices and murders.
My father or Michael is not
to be blamed for his nature.
People who find happiness
is others' sorrow...
are the root cause of this.
One who can't dare to fight for a cause...
like a coward...
until people stop resorting to immoral ways
like human sacrifice and black magic...
no one can stop him.
Politicians with a strong authority...
to turn things in their favor...
are nurturing Sebastian.
But his motto...
is not the wealth offered by them.
And they don't realize it yet.
Where is Janice now?
Why has Sebastian abducted her?
He can sacrifice a specific mutant girl.
Janice...
is the mutant girl.
Today is the night of sacrifice.
I tried explaining it to him.
He doesn't listen to me.
We had a heated argument.
Thinking that I might be a serious
impediment to his offerings...
Sebastian has house arrested me here.
He impersonates me...
and make people believe
that he is Donald.
Including you, Mr. Hamza.
One more important thing.
If this night passes...
and Sebastian survives this night...
that's ominous for Anita.
Remember this.
I will save Anita.
Bring Anita to my place.
Trust me.
I'm the only help you have now.

'O' Lord, which all Lords fear'
'To change the fate of this poor soul'
'There she lies at your feet'
'Command the goddess of diseases
that has possessed her.'
'Let Her heal her'
'I adore you'.
'I surrender myself to you'.
'You are my path'
Anita!
'The heart of our hearts'
'Stroke this weak heart with your love"
'Let the pain alleviate and sorrow vanish'
'As the pain alleviates, sorrow
vanishes, let her gather strength'
'Prepare her to bear this sweet burden'
'I lay this child on your lap'
Eesa!
Eesa!
You will be fine.
Listen!
'I plead you O' king'
'Forgive our sins'
'Bless us to complete
the ritual'
'Shower mercy over this soul
to give her enough strength'
'I may fear'
'Still, that doesn't
dwindle my trust in You'
Sebastian!
'I command in the name of the
Lord with billion names'
'O' the evil powers that
are daunting this child'
'Bad spirits'
' O' open-eyed omens'
'Foul angels'
'Leave this soul'
'Let this child be a child'
Anita!
Anita!
Sebastian!
Will you stop this?
You are not gonna gain
anything by sacrificing her.
This is superstition.
Can you understand?
Death is not a solution.
Sebastian!
If death is not a solution
for any problem...
So, what about life?
Will it provide a solution?
For ages, you conditioned the human
mind that God tests the bad souls.
'It's the bad people who can be affluent'
'It's your cowardice that refuses to accept
it and indeed that keeps you alive"
The definition of 'bad
men' has been tweaked.
Bad vs bad is the current scenario.
The worse owns the power.
If life itself is a problem...
death is the solution.
Sebastian!
'The light doesn't reach me,
o' the child of darkness'
'You are a child not turn into a demon'.
'Your venomous teeth'
'shall kill you'
Sebastian!
Sebastian!
Sebastian!
Anita!
'No matter how I suffer,
I shall pray you'
Anita!
'Let the child be true to you'.
Anita!
'Let you become stubborn as iron'.
'You are the mercy and you are the grace'
''The darkness is omnipresent'
Sebastian!
Drop the sword.
If you hurt the girl...
you will be good as dead.
-Drop the sword.
-Why did you come here?
Get out!
I will not leave this
place without the girl.
Why are you sacrificing innocent
humans in the name of sacrifice?
Idiot!
The people whom are you trying
to save will backstab you.
But, you...
are fighting for these
menial creatures.
Our fight is to make our
people live peacefully.
Please leave this child.
I will not hurt you.
I will not come after you as well.
Trust me.
Look, Sebastian.
All I want is to see this
girl leave the place alive.
That's it.
Sebastian!
Your brother has
sacrificed a lot for you.
At least for his sake...
please quit this.
Listen to me.
If you trust me...
Anita!
'we could have been born

'The petty desires and unsatisfiable greed'

'Maybe...'
'we are Satan'
During the trial of Janice murders...
2017...
Mr. Lawrence had accepted his role
as an accomplice to the cult.
and all the crimes that
they were involved in.
But, earlier...
he had mentioned
that this cult had a leader.
The Akaali.
Sebastian Halloway...
is the Akaali.
So, then what happened to Janice?
Janice wasn't there.
We made a thorough search.
No one knows where she is.
As Lawrence accepted the charges.
we confirmed that
she is a victim.
Maybe...
she was killed.
Who knows?
Okay.
So meanwhile, the investigation report
says that Donald Halloway is missing.
But he was very much present at
Anita's exorcism at the satan temple.
Then how did you
escape from there?
Two eye witnesses say that building's
roof collapsed and Donald got stuck.
Eesa and Gowtham.
But...
But when police cleared the debris...
they have noticed an
underground tunnel.
It is said that he may have
escaped through the tunnel.
I wish I conclude the case...
the way you say it ended.
Let's assume that
Janice is missing.
Or she was killed six years ago.
If Donald Halloway, the brother of
the deceased Sebastian is innocent...
who is doing these current sacrifices?
When was this photo taken?
Last evening...
these bodies were recovered from a
mountainous village called Nandhesam.
The symbols in these are
matching with Janice murders.
Do you know what these symbols mean?
And could please tell me
what really is happening.
"Has the story reached its end?"
"Did we get the answers?"
"Are the shores visible?"
"Are tides ebbing?"
"I'm rising to witness the dawn"
"The end unites us"
"Has the story reached its end?"
"Did we get the answers?"
"To realize the present
I'm forgettting my past"
"As I let me go my past,
my burden has eased"
"I make my own path
depsite losing the track"
"My bright smile would
slit through darkness"
"The road goes ever on?"
"It wishes to stride forward?"
