Please pay attention.

The last local for Borivali

is arriving at platform three at 11:20 p.m…

Next station: Goregaon.

The darkness will creep up behind you To sting

Time will outrun you The morning is still far away

Only darkness shall stand by you Till the end

Accidents lurk at every step

Waiting to pounce on you

They'll latch onto you Even if you try to get away

Yeah, Harsh?

We found one more.

Okay, I'm coming.

Who found it?

An on-duty lineman.

Anyone touched it yet?

No. You'd given instructions,

so the police informed us directly.

Any footprints?

No.

The bag is of the same size.

Hmm.

The method is similar too.

Once again, he kills her somewhere else

and dumps the body here for our convenience.

How sweet of him!

We should personally thank him for this.

Just wait till we meet him.

Harsh.

Question those people.

Ask them if they saw something.

Okay.

Vivaan.

Hmm?

Ever seen something like this before?

Fourth corpse in the last four months.

This is bad news for us.

We must locate the actual crime scene, Harsh.

At any cost.

No, Vivaan.

I don't think we'll find a clue at the actual crime scene.

He doesn't look like someone who makes mistakes.

He's too smart.

Murder for him is not just lust or violence.

It's about possession. It gives him a high.

Once he realizes his victims

are breathless and are inching closer to their deaths,

it literally trips him out.

That's exactly when he'd make a mistake.

Hopefully!

And we need to find that mistake.

That's when our investigation will find a proper direction.

Footprints, hair sample, we could find anything.

Poor Mishra lost all his hair

in a bid to find the hair samples.

He was left only with samples, lost all his hair.

What do you think?

You're right. Mr Mishra was a great investigator.

I think, he'd use Google for his searches.

"Top ten ways to catch a serial killer" or something.

Frankly, I'm glad he was transferred.

Do you think I don't look that stuff up?

The Internet is down or else the killer would have been…

-You would've screwed him, right? -Obviously.

This night is too short For our long chats

Why are you so aloof?

This night is too short For our long chats

-Hi, Richa. -Hello.

-Good morning. -Good morning.

School?

College.

In Delhi, you call it school,

in Mumbai after tenth grade, it's college.

I'm so sorry. I tend to forget.

Yes, going to college.

Isn't your college opposite that famous vadapav joint?

Very funny.

-That joint is opposite my college. -I see.

How will you get there?

A rickshaw to the railway station and then I'll walk from there.

In this weather, you won't find a rickshaw. Let me drop you.

No, it's okay.

Hello, Ms Okay.

Everything is okay, okay?

Give me the umbrella. I'll bring my car around.

How am I looking?

-Good. -Cool.

This is the fourth murder by the Strolley Killer.

Local trains are considered the lifeline of Mumbai.

What measures are the government taking for their safety?

Or are they just twiddling their thumbs?

The fourth murder took place on the Western line

where four million people commute every day.

Who will take their responsibility?

Does the government have an answer?

A senior officer of this department would often say:

"To understand an artist,

you must look at his paintings carefully."

But this artist and his paintings…

I just don't understand.

Why does he stuff the corpses in bags before dumping them?

The killer saws off his victims' feet and keeps them.

Expecting logic from this guy is a waste of time.

Did the latest victim also wear open footwear?

It is not confirmed yet, sir.

But based on the killer's pattern,

I'm sure Rita Madhav must have worn open footwear.

Hmm.

Apart from the fact that all the victims traveled by train,

you found any common factors or connections?

No, sir. Nothing so far.

None of them knew each other

and there's no common factor.

But this is what we're trying to crack.

The day we find the common factor…

we'll be very close to catching this guy.

Vivaan, we have to catch this monster as early as possible.

Yes, sir.

Even Mishra couldn't find anything.

And you know the pressures.

And I don't want to be a part of any news debate

where I have to defend myself.

Yes, sir.

Let our actions speak. I trust you.

-Yes, sir. -That's why you're here.

-Sir. -Hmm, Rishabh?

That night, she left at around 10 p.m.

Her friends said she always traveled by train.

-What about her family? -Locals.

She lived with her parents in Goregaon.

Dad is a banker and mom, a housewife.

Goregaon Station, 10th August.

Line up the CCTV footage.

Maybe she got off the train after 10:30.

-Find and you call me immediately, okay? - Okay, sir.

-Vivaan. -Huh?

I got a call from the lab.

Did you find something new or same as before?

I'm afraid, no.

The MO is identical.

No signs of sexual assault on her body.

The victim has died due to asphyxiation.

She was deprived of oxy…

Yes, I understand. Asphyxiation.

Look at her legs.

Her feet were chopped off by a saw or something.

That's why it's a little uneven.

There are no traces of saliva,

fingerprints, blood or hair on her body.

That means, same as before.

And the strolley bag?

Clean.

It's useless.

Let me see.

I'd feel so terrible.

I couldn't imagine the plight of the victims' families.

They must go through a lot.

Never knew there would come a day

when I also would have to…

It's fine.

Yeah, you wanted to ask me something?

Right.

Did she make any new friends…

Anything odd about that relationship?

No.

Rita was a decent girl.

She'd focus on work, had only a few friends in our neighbourhood.

Do you think that whatever happened to Rita

-was done by someone she knew? -No.

Look, we can't confirm anything right now, Mr Madhav.

We're checking every lead.

If you recall anything,

or if you find out something, do inform us.

Did Rita ever tell you that someone was following her

or did she suspect she was being followed?

No.

Never.

I found no leads from this strolley bag.

It is just like those other three bags.

There are almost 288 registered stores in Mumbai.

There must be thousands across Maharashtra.

-If it was bought from another state… -Forget it.

Once we narrow down the search criteria,

then we'll waste time on it. Don't sweat it.

Sir, I found it.

Look at the left corner.

Estimated time of death?

Approximately at midnight.

The footage says 11:35. Almost half an hour.

The strolley bag was found almost 100 meters from the station.

Right.

Harsh.

-Get all the units. -Okay.

Rishabh, a little further.

Jadhav, look there.

Look here.

Sir, check this out.

Come here!

Come, sir.

Look at this.
