Episode #65
Season 01 finale.
In vedpur, it's night time, chintan is walking home with his young son rishu. When they reach the house, rishu runs inside to meet his grandparents. Chintan too enters the house and switches on the lights, he finds his parents standing in the living room. He tries asking them why they hadn't picked his call, they don't reply anything and he hears a cry from inside the house. He runs inside to check on rishu, he finds rishu crying, looking at his grandparents dead bodies. ** Gets chest pain looking at this and falls unconscious. Rishu tries waking him up but he's dead. Camera pans on the superman toy rishu carried with him.
Vikrant and aditi are traveling to vedpur in their car. Vikrant asks Aditi,
"ASP aditi Sharma, Accha batao, aiski koi kitaab bani Hai, jisse tumnhe jaana ja sake?"
Aditi smiles and questions, "kyu? Aisa kyu bol rahe ho?"
"Nahi kabhi-kabhi hero ki tarah gundon se lad padti ho, saare bhoot-pret dost Hai tumhare. Apne dad ka phone ate hi bacchon ki tarah uchhal padti ho, aur kabhi kabhi gumsum rehkar kiss soch me rehti ho. Waise filhal Kya soch rahi ho?"
"Kuchh nahi. Waise aap Meri personal life me itna interest kyu le rahe hai ACP Saab?"
"Arre.. itne dino se ek sath Kam Kar rahe Hai, itne sare cases eksath solve kiye Hai, ek baar to tumne meri jaan bhi bachai Hai. Ab apni colleague ke bareme thodi bohot personal information rakhne ka haq to banta Hai."
"Accha? Isse pehle Jo colleague thi uske bareme sab pata hota Tha?"
*Situation was fluffy so far, now tenses up as vikrant speaks*
"Isse pehle sirf ek hi colleague thi meri, use thik tarah se jaan nahi paya."
"Shivani.. ek acchi officer ko..."
"..vanraj ne maar diya. Aur Mei kuchh nahi Kar saka."
"Vikrant khud ko dosh dena band Kar do. Jo bhi hua usme tumhari koi galti nahi thi.."
"Vanraj khuleaam ghum raha hai use badhi Kya galti ho sakti hai?"
"Vikrant mujhe khud se jyada tumpe bharosa Hai, ke tum vanraj ko dhund hi loge." 🥺
They have a short eyelock.
At the local police station, vikrant asks the PI about the case, but instead he calls in rishu and asks him to tell vikrant what had happened. Rishu is scared and doesn't speak, Aditi tries coaxing him but vikrant tells her to let it go as rishu is in shock. He asks the PI again who tells them that they had found rishu outside the police station, and his father's and grandparent's dead bodies were found at home. And when they had asked around, everyone had told them that they hear cries at night. Entire village of vedpur can hear it, it comes from everywhere. Aditi suggests that they should visit the crime scene once. They go to the house and look around. It didn't look like a crime scene at all. They discuss the cause of death, all 3 victims had died of natural causes, their hearts had stopped beating. Aditi suggests that she should talk to vaidhji who had helped her last time. Vikrant decides to meet the villagers and they part ways. Vikrant walks through the entire village but there was no one to be found. Finally he sees a man and stops him. Vikrant introduces himself and questions the man about the triple murders. The guy denies knowing anything about that but when asked about the cryings at night he confirms that the entire village can hear it. It's been happening for a few days and people stay in during night due to fear. Vikrant asks more about chintans family, he's told that chintans parents owned a shop outside the temple. Almost everyone in the village was somehow related to the temple. Vedpur is believed to be a very auspicious place which now seems to be cursed. Vikrant asks him for a favor. He asks if they could keep rishu with them for the night as it's not safe for a kid to be at the police station. The man agrees and vikrant tells him that he'll drop rishu at night.
Aditi reaches vaidhji's house and starts looking around for him. She hears a noise at the cupboard and goes near it. She opens the door and finds a pair of yellow eyes staring at her. Aditi stumbles backwards, an earthen pot filled with red liquid breaks next to her. She turns around and sees a guy with pale white face, siting on the floor, grinding something. She sees the door to the room closing and runs out just in time.
It's evening time and the entire village looks abandoned. At the police station, entire staff notifies vikrant that they're leaving for the day. Vikrant gets mad at this and reminds them of the pledge they had taken before joining the duty. He zaps them for abandoning their duty when vedpur needs them the most, he adds that he doesn't need people like them, he's capable enough to help save everyone. The staff leaves and vikrant is left alone in the police station with rishu. Vikrant goes up to rishu and wakes him up. He tells rishu he's taking him to tanuj's house. Rishu tells him he's scared and vikrant takes a seat next to him. Vikrant tries to ease the situation, he asks rishu who is favorite superhero is : superman. Vikrant smiles at this. He tells rishu one of his childhood stories, he had fallen while riding bicycle, so he got phobic. He was scared to ride a bike again, but his father encouraged him to ride the bike again and he overcame his fear and that year he won the cycling competition. Vikrant tells rishu not be scared and hands him a piece of paper with his phone number on it and asks him to call if anything goes wrong, he'll come with the speed of a super hero. Later vikrant takes rishu to tanuj's house and asks Tanuj to try to keep a pleasant atmosphere around him. As he was leaving vikrant gets a call from Aditi asking about his whereabouts. He tells her he's on his way and cuts the call.
At the lodge reception area, Aditi is pacing nervously. As she sees vikrant coming, she launches into action,
"Vikrant Kahan the tum? Kab se call Kar rahi thi tumhe, phone kyu nahi utha rahe the?" She walks outside to meet him hallway as she speaks.
"Are meine tumse kaha Tha na Mei rishu ko Tanuj ke ghar pe chhodne gaya tha?"
"Haan par ek phone to kar sakte the! Kahan ho? Kya Kar rahe ho? Kuchh ata pata hi nahi Hai tumhara!" *The accusing wife*
"Haan ab.. to Mei Kya karu? Mujhe duty karte samay phone pe baat karne ki aadat nahi hai." *The helpless husband*
"Haan to ab adat daal lo."
"Matlab?"
"Kuchh nahi.." *awkward silence*
"Vaidhji ne kya kaha?"
"Wo bhi ab shayad yahan nahi hai. Unki ashram me bhi buri shaktiyon ka saya hai. Jab Mei unke ashram me gayi to ek buri atma ne mujhpe attack kiya. Vikrant humne jitna socha tha usse Kai jyada khatra hai yahan pe. Aisa lag raha Hai jaise achanak se sari buri shaktiyan vedpur me aa gayi ho."
Vikrant sits on the stairs and sighs,
"Vapas ane ke liye sari buri shaktiyan kahin gayi hi nahi thi Aditi. Chahe wo vedpur ho ya kahin aur. Jahan Jahan acchai hoti Hai wahan burai hoti hi Hai. Jitne bhi cases humne solve kiye Hai,shuru me Hume kafi dikkatein aayi, lekin humare andar ki acchai ne unhe sulzane me humesha humari madad ki."
Aditi looks worried at him and he asks about it.
"Is baar tum bohot jyada tension me lag rahi ho. Kyu?"
"Pata nahi is bar ajeeb si ghutan ho rahi Hai. Aisa lag raha Hai jaise kucch mujhse dur janewala Hai. 🥺 Vikrant, kahi in sabke picche vanraj to nahi Hai?"
"Vanraj hoga to vanraj marega. Jis tarah samay ki kai, samay ka silsila atoot Hai, kal-hin Hai, usi tarah burai aur acchai ki ladai ant-hin Hai. Uska koi nicchit ant nahi Hai. Per har yug me Jeet acchai ki hi hoti Hai. Agar raavan ko marna Hai to ram to banna hoga." [The way he said those last words. He knew what was coming.😭]
"Par vikrant agar tumhe kuchh ho gaya.. toh.." (remember these words?)
"To Kya? Shahid sipahiyonki tasviron me late vikrant singhal ki tasvir lag jaegi. Aur tum use samne khadi rehkar salute karogi." (Vikrant, joking now)
"Vikrant.. Mei mazak nahi Kar rahi hu.."
Before aditi could complete the statement, they hear a weird noise and vikrant gets up.
"Lagta Hai ab jaane ka waqt aa Gaya Hai." Words leave vikrant mouth and Aditi looks up instantaneously. [The look on her face 🥺]
"Matlab?"
"Matlab tum us tarf jao, Mei yahan dekhta hu."
"Vikrant apna dhyan rakhna."
"Tum bhi." And they part ways again. 🥺
At taruns house, he tries to distract rishu by telling him some old stories. His wife goes to the next room to get some clothes for rishu and things take a wrong turn. The lights flicker, a crying voice is heard and all 3 of them are killed. As vikrant is walking through the village, he hears someone crying and He follows the voice. Aditi sees a man sitting in the feild, she goes near and he turns around, he had a pale white face. Aditi stumbles and turns around to find another guy with a pale face. She's trapped in between but suddenly a hand pulls her. Aditi sees it was the vaidhji.
Aditi talks to the vaidhya, who tells her that people dying in vedpur are not getting any salvation, and their spirits are stuck. Aditi is confused and he reminds her that vedpur is the place where ravan had set his feet on Earth for the first time. He adds that this time it's not ravan, it's the devil who had stepped on their land. Aditi suspects it to be vanraj and vaidhji tells her that the devil has no name, he could come as anyone. Aditi asks him if there is any way to end vanraj. Vaidhji tells her that he has already told her the solution. Aditi gets a flashback of the different symbols she had seen over the time. Vaidhji adds that there are total of 5 symbols each having it's own meaning : power, energy, wits, Ultimate, and universe. [Forth and fifth didn't really fit in the list when he said it, saare naam kaise cute cute the aur achanak 'sarvashreshtha' aur 'bhrahmand ka pratik' tapak pade😆], he continues that no one knows where the fifth symbol lies. But it's said that whenever there will be a battle between the good and the evil, the fifth symbol will appear there. Aditi asks him who is the one capable enough to fight vanraj. Vaidhji tells her that the fight is very old, the first one to come was siddhant, then it was Shivani, followed by Aditi and then ananya.
He tells aditi that all 4 of them were from the same orphanage. "Rameshwar Shishu mandir" Aditi supplies and asks how he know about it. Vaidhji tells her that while searching for the fifth symbol, 'they' came across her story, after the orphanage was burned, siddhant and shiavni got adopted, but he had two more sisters, herself and ananya. He adds that they're not here to kill vanraj, but they're here to protect the one who's supposed to kill vanraj. Aditi remembers the first time she had met vikrant, Shivani had sent her to that orphanage to help someone. She also remembers the multiple times when she had saved vikrants life, in the end she remembers what vikrant had said just a few minutes back. Aditi draws a conclusion that he is one who is destined to kill vanraj. She is in tears now, and vaidhji adds that vanraj might be aware of this and vikrants life could be in danger, it's not this easy to kill vanraj, she needs to find the last symbol as quickly as possible. Once the fifth symbol was found, the portal to the other dimension would open and the spirits would be freed from this world., And only then it's possible to kill vanraj.
Aditi is crying now and asks how she can find the last symbol. That guy very dismissively tells her that whenever vikrant will come face to face with vanraj, the symbols will appear there. Aditi replies with,
"Par vaidhji kahin aisa na ho jae ki wo paanchva chinha dhundne se pehle.. Mai.. Mai vikrant ko kho nahi sakti hu." 🥺
that guy : "Aditi, vikrant tumhare liye nahi, balki wo buri shakti ko marne ke liye paida hua Hai."
[*Me sitting on the couch, gripping the remote tightly* : SHUT UP!! Shut up, shut up, shut up!!😡]
He adds that vanraj wants to destroy the entire world and Aditi should go and help vikrant end him. Aditi rushes to the place where she had last found the symbols. She searches around in the debris and finds the first 4 symbols glowing. Suddenly she hears vikrants scream and runs towards the source.
Vikrant on the other side, enters one of the houses searching for the source of the sound. He finds no one but he gets a call from rishu and he hears rishu crying on the other side. He cuts the call and rushes to tarun's house. At tanuj's house, vikrant hears rishu crying when he approches him, he sees that rishus face had become pale, he looks around and sees Tanuj and his wife had become pale too. Suddenly vikrant spots vanraj standing outside the window. Vikrant runs outside but vanraj had vanished. He hears a grunting noice and sees a group of insaani janwars going somewhere. Vikrant follows them to an abandoned Temple. At the venue, the insaani janwars attack vikrant and he tries to shoot them, but they keep on advancing. Suddenly the insaani janwars disappear and vikrant feels a presence behind him. He turns around and finds vanraj levitating in the air. Before he could attack vanraj, vanraj kicks him to the ground. Vanraj steps on vikrants chest and tries crushing him. Vikrant screams in pain, he grabs his gun and tries shooting at vanraj who disappears and reappears at another place. Vikrant keeps shooting at him. Vanraj uses his supernatural powers to throw vikrant around.
Aditi reaches the site and watches helplessly as vanraj throws vikrant around the place. She runs back to the symbols and tries searching for the last one. Aditi remembers what it stands for and looks up at the sky , suddenly a star formation takes place [this was so unrealistic] and tells portal to another dimension is opened. Aditi runs back to vikrant and sees that vanraj's powers had stopped working. The portal pulls vanaraj towards it and Vikrant tries pushing vanraj through. Vanraj grabs vikrant and tells him he won't be able to save the world, and if he's dying, vikrant will die too. Vanraj pulls vikrant into the portal and the portal closes behind them.
Aditi who was standing by, runs to the site screaming vikrants name. She slumps to the ground, looking in the direction of the portal, crying violently taking vikrants name. [The sad music in BG didn't help either.]🥺😭
------------------
I did not need this pain in my life okay? 🥺 I have enough already. It took me bloody 3 days to watch the episode again and write a WU!! Although I had suspected someone would get hurt, I didn't expect vikrant to be taken to the other dimension. But I wasn't ready for all the ViDiti overdose that we got in the last episode, just to take vikrant away in the end. He's still alive though. I don't think he's dead, and Aditi will get him back.
