Sarita
is introduced to Vishal who gets right down to business. He confesses to her
that he thinks his wife might be possessed. Sarita calmly asks him what the name
is, and Vishal asks her whose? The ghost or the wife? We make a jump cut back to
the apartment. Sarita establishes her credentials when the walk past the
ex-watchman's chair. She stops for a moment and stares at it with an air of
"something happened here!" After lingering for a moment, she follows Vishal into
the elevator.
As soon as Sarita hits the door, she knows just where to go. With a "clang" on the soundtrack, her gaze snaps to the staircase, which she regards with contempt. Vishal heads upstairs to the room of interest, while Sarita hesitates for a moment on the lower level.
We
see the Blue Boy standing on the steps, staring intently at her. She moves
towards him, searching the area for what she feels, but then proceeds to walk
through the space he was occupying. I was expecting him to emerge from her back
as she passed through him, but in a nicely produced effect, he simply isn't
there once she's passed his spot.
Sarita walks into the bedroom and sees Swati writhing on the bed. She gestures for Vishal to step outside, and she slowly walks over to the patient. I do mean slowly - she takes about half a minute to cover about ten paces. She sits on the edge of the bed, and stares intently at Swati. Swati's dark circles are getting a lot worse, and she stares back at Sarita with fierce eyes. Sarita calls out the name Manjeet, and Swati's contortions calm down. As they stare at each other, Sarita gets a rather evil-looking grin on her face.
Back downstairs, Vishal and Bai wait in the living room for the latest updates. Instead of news from upstairs, the door buzzer sounds off. Vishal opens the door to reveal Rajan, back from the hospital. He apologizes for having to leave earlier, and explains about his daughter. He then changes the subject to Swati. He believes she has a serious case of Multiple Personality Disorder, and would like to take her to his place to administer some tests. As he is saying this, Sarita makes her ominous descent into the living room and begins staring a hole through Rajan.
With
a mild tone of embarrassment, Vishal explains to Rajan that they have called in
another kind of help, and would like to see what they say. Rajan gives Vishal a
look of incredulity and asks why he's done this. Rajan says that Vishal is an
educated man - how can he believe in all of her nonsense? Swati is clearly
suffering from a mental condition. Sarita says that this is definitely not a
mental problem. Rajan gets angry and calls this a load of gibberish, but Vishal
asks him to stop being rude. He wants to explore all of his options before
deciding. Rajan concedes, and tells Vishal he has his number if he wants to try
the rational way. After Rajan leaves, Sarita tells Vishal that they need to
locate Manjeet's mother.
We jump over to police headquarters where Qureshi is reclining at his desk. He asks Vishal why he needs Manjeet's mother's information. Vishal makes up a story about how they found some of Manjeet's things at the apartment, and they want to return them. Thakkar said that Qureshi would likely have that information. Qureshi says that he knows a lot of things, but not all of the things he'd like to know. This statement confuses Vishal, but I think I get what he's talking about. It's my guess that Qureshi was the investigating officer in charge of Manjeet's case, and something hasn't added up right. We'll see if that hunch pays off. Anyway, he tells one of his officers to get the case file for Vishal, and give him the address.
We then cut to a house and have a POV shot that tracks through several rooms. They stop in the kitchen where a middle aged woman is working on something to eat. She looks up and asks how Sarita and Vishal got in (and this question is never resolved!). Sarita tells her they need to talk to her about Manjeet. Mrs. Khosla is rightly confused, since her daughter has been dead for some time now. Sarita enigmatically tells her that Manjeet is back in town, and is causing problems.
