Samay: When Time Strikes

Time... keeps ticking away

It keeps changing

Everyone travels with it...

on a lonely path

It has a relationship with everyone...

and yet has nothing to do with anyone

Time. It flows like blood

Kapil Sharma. The city's top industrialist

A financial genius. A millionaire at the age of 34

No sign of any forced entry into the house

Everything is in order. There's nothing missing

No sign of a physical struggle either

Kaushik...

get a close up of this wound, please. Sure, madam

Finger-prints status, Dhingra?

There's nothing to arouse suspicion, madam

I think whatever prints we've got, are all his own

You took in the rest of the room, Kaushik?

I've taken it all in, madam. Everything's normal

We've searched the whole house, madam

It appears tough to find a clue

Not just tough, Satya. It's impossible

Dhingra, give me a torch, please. Of course, madam

Here you are

Didn't you find any finger-prints even here?

No trace of any finger-prints madam

Not even those of the family or the workers?

No, nothing

See those shades of soil? Yes

They don't match

Know what, Satya? Switch both the paintings

All right, madam

But who could've swapped their places?

You can answer that question. If a member of the family...

had changed their places, there surely would have been some finger-prints

And that's something missing. So what does it mean?

The killer swapped them

Found something, madam?

Not found... it's been given to me

But what is it...?

What does the forensic report say? It's a 2.5cm deep injury, madam

The murder was committed with a sharp object

But what was it...? We don't know

2.5 centimeters...?

Find out what sort of weapon it could be

All right, madam. And... inform the doc too

Sandhya Sharma. Kapil Sharma's wife

She's the one who informed the police about the murder

At 1245. She called from her cellphone

Get a record of Sandhya's and Kapil's calls

All right, madam

By the way, we still have to record Sandhya Sharma's statement

I'll pack your clothes at once

Mrs. Sharma...?

I'm ACP Malvika Chauhan from the Crime Branch

We had something to discuss with you...

But if there's anything you want to say to us...

That one in there...? Oh yes. That was Namrata

Mrs. Sharma's younger sister. Yes

And that chap who was smoking was Rahul Pradhan. A family friend

Don't forget to record his statement. Sure, madam

Another thing... I know

Believe everything, trust nothing. That's what I've learnt from you

Anjali, this is enough. Mummy will be arriving any moment

Take a wash. Dinner's ready

Just a bit more to go... Only two minutes

Hi Mithu!

Were you painting on the paper or on yourself?

Look at what I've made

But why haven't you painted this hut? I had run out of the red color

Really? In that case, you could have used brown

Brown...? No?

You can use green. But you'll first bathe and do all this later, my child

Okay? Only five minutes!

Five minutes? Yes, five minutes

How did your test go? Very well

They asked a general knowledge question and nobody could answer it

But you answered it, right? Didn't I tell you?

Nobody could answer it

How is it now?

Grandma called today. Really?

What did she say? Did she get there safely?

Oh yes, Uncle had come to receive her at the airport

Grandma said, you mustn't play too many video games

Why? It ruins your eye-sight!

And you keep sitting before the TV all day...

doesn't that spoil your eye-sight? But I do my eye-exercises, Mama!

I went to the opticians to have my eye-sight checked with Ravi Uncle

They had an automatic machine there. I could see a giraffe in that and...

That's very good my child. But have you done your eye-exercises today?

Please hurry, Mama!

Satya, we've only got to ask general questions

We're here to get information, not testimony

All right, madam

You...?

What can I do for you? Answer a few of my questions

Mr. Kapil was a stickler for punctuality

He could come in early to work, but he was never late

We came first. He used to say good morning to all the securitymen

What has happened is terrible

All of us liked him a lot

He was hardworking and a very down-to-earth man

You said something about his friends...?

Ahmed, Vinit, Raghu...

I'd like to meet them

In a client's office

About a month ago...

And Raghu? Raghu Kotian

Kapil's close friend and our legal head

But he too is on leave for a week

Some construction activity in his house

For the last two years, I was secretary to Kapil Sir

What? I've already told you!

Kapil's personal files are the company's confidential records!

I can't show them to you. Only you can show them to us

After Kapil's death, you are the boss of the company

Sir... What is it?

Go away. Not now. Later... Could you get me a cup of coffee?

Without sugar. All right

As you were saying... Madam...

if there's any other way I can help you...

Those personal files

You're playing the typical boss, with all your authority and power

I'll play the typical cop now. With all my power and authority

Now look... are you threatening me?

When did I...? I'm merely acquainting you with the truth

In just a telephone call...

See? It took two minutes for a cup of coffee to materialize

In that much of time, we issue a warrant

And you call our department slow. Really!

Another thing

Apart from Kapil's files, I also want to take a look at your files

I understand. But can you tell me whether...

whether you noticed...

whether you noticed some strange behavior in the last few days?

A fight or an enmity perhaps...? Enmity...? No, no

He hadn't seen so much of life as to make enemies already

This is strange! Everybody has something nice to say about him

Looks like Kapil Sharma was the country's first millionaire saint!

But his vice-president isn't a saint from any angle

Have this sent to Bhatia in the Income Tax department

Could Kapil Sharma have got to know of the vice president's embezzlement...

and he had him...? Possible. Anything is possible

What about the murder weapon? There no intimation yet, Madam

Nothing will come of it in the official manner

But there is a man who knows everything about weapons

Khatru-bhai

Khatru-bhai, salaam aliekom. Waliekom salaam

How have you been? God is kind, Inspector

Yes? I've got some business with you

Everything except my integrity, I'll give you

Look at this

What weapon do you think was used for this?

There's a saying in this area, my friend

A weapon Khatru-bhai hasn't seen, hasn't been created

Amazing

I've never seen something like this ever. A squeaky clean job

Whether it's the angle, or the hit...

That's all right, but can you tell which weapon was used?

Find the one who used the weapon, not just the object

Meaning...?

Every man leaves behind a mark of his work...

what do you call it...? Signature

Yes, the signature style. That tells you whose doing it was

Looks like this chap has a very unique style

He has thoroughly enjoyed doing it... he's an artist. A real artist

Do introduce me to him when you find him

Please do

We have all the weapons here except the one that was used in the murder

Your take on it, doc?

The diameter of the injury is 2.5 centimeters and it's 5 centimeters deep

The weapon used was somewhat like this

What's surprising is that the weapon used for the murder...

wasn't handy in nature

The angle Kapil was killed from makes it obvious that death occurred...

Rafiq, will you step here please?

Kapil was attacked from the front, like this and...

Doc, are you sure he was attacked up front?

Couldn't it have been from behind? I'm positive, Malvika

An attack from behind, from the side...

Even if it was for a second, Kapil saw the murderer?

So why didn't he react?

There is no sign of any struggle at the scene of crime

Kapil must've known the killer. And he didn't expect to be attacked

This much time even Kapil must've surely had?

No, Malvika, Kapil had no time to react

How come?

One thing we must remember

The death occurred when the nerve here was ruptured

It's called the jugular vein. A cut in this vein...

immediately stops the bloody supply to the brain

In other words, immediate death

The killer planned the attack with great timing and precision

Doc, there's another thing that isn't clear

Do you see the position of Kapil's arms?

It's very odd. The wound is on the neck, and his hands are elsewhere

It appears as if the murder was committed somewhere...

and the body was dragged to this place

We found blood only around the body

Otherwise, there wasn't a drop anywhere in the house
