Sumer wakes up with a phone call from his mother (will only hear the mother in the next few episodes; imagine some key interrogation scenes with the mother's voice and Sumer's annoyance) the mother hounds him to get married and tells him that they have lined up a girl he can meet in the evening. Sumer is annoyed and the mother tells him getting married is like getting a new lease of life. And we cut to a morgue in a seemingly small hospital where 2 guys are talking about the solitary, unclaimed body in the morgue and we hear Sumer's VO about how some people are excited to start a new phase in life while for some, life has ended and only questions remain. As he reaches the cop station; Sumer's SI comes in with a new piece of information; the case is almost as good as solved and she wants him to see it himself. Excited, Sumer reaches the preview room and watches a clip (we don't see what it is) Sumer is smiling to himself and then we see the clip; it is Maggie pointing the gun at Kaushiki on the rooftop. (CCTV footage from the rooftop) The SI goes to get Maggie from home and the funny SI and the funny mother have a hilarious scene while Sumer has asked one of his team members to trace this fancy gun which was found at the villa. While Maggie is being called, we see him sitting opposite Naushad is outlining the first drug for Maggie but he is distracted. He tells Naushad that he might have to postpone joining's Naushad's new business as the snooping girl Kaushiki has gone missing; Maggie fears someone 'tapakoed' her. Naushad is not in the least concerned and he tells Maggie that this investigation is not good for the business and the best way to get some support is to do the drug run but Maggie is occupied and he says he cant right now. Naushad turns sour and wants to know if this investigation will hurt the new arrangement. Maggie says I am worried about this ACP calling me again and again and you are only worried about the consignment. Naushad registers Maggie's attitude and asks for his gun back. Maggie lies and says it is at home, he will give it back to him soon. Once Maggie reaches the investigation room, Sumer lands an opening punch; why did you shoot her? Maggie is stumped and confesses that he did draw his gun on Kaushiki but he didn't kill her. We go back in time to see Maggie and Kaushiki confrontation, post-Kaushiki saying that people are not the way they seem. Maggie agrees with him and pulls out his gun and demands to know why was she snooping on him. Kaushiki tells him that once she saw Naushad's number in his phone, she wanted to check what was he hiding. After some research, she reached Naushad and wanted to check if Maggie was involved in something dangerous. But that's where the quest ended. Kaushiki and Maggie have a somber moment where Kaushiki shows him the light of his dangerous living and Maggie lies to Kaushiki that Naushad is a money lender and he needed 20 lakhs to give them to Aditi for the business as promised. His dad has pulled the plug on cashflow but he knew he will be able to return the money to Naushad. Sumer smiles and asks him if Naushad loaned him a gun too? Maggie's lie is caught again but this time, Maggie offer Sumer a deal; that he will tell him the whole story of the gun and why there were shots fired that night; but Sumer will have to keep the information to himself and not share it with his friends or family. Sumer, impatient to get any info, agrees. In a quick flashback montage, we see Maggie's Batuk Lal betrayal, Naushad warning to get the money; Aditi needing 20 Lakhs too and the father choking off the money. And then we see how Maggie pulled a super tricky stunt. Maggie is walking down a shabby residential area and talking on the phone with somebody; asking him where he is and the guy on the other side is making fun of Maggie by saying there is no way he can find him. Maggie stops in front of a small house, smiles and tells him that he will see in 4 hours; one way or the other. Maggie cuts the call and kicks the door open. Inside, there is just bare minimum furniture and an old man lying in a cot. Maggie walks in, pulls a small chair and sits next to the old man and calls the same number again and motions the old guy to be quiet. He tells the person on the phone that right now he is strangling his old father and if he doesnt tell him where he is right now, he will kill the father and it will be days before his body is found. He gets the answer he wanted. He cuts the call and gives the old man some money and tells him to take care. Maggie reaches a tiny Kutchi village set up where he welcomed by 4 Kutchi badasses and one mousy looking man dressed in a safari suit; Batuk Lal. Now we come to know that Batuk Lal, the driver who has betrayed Maggie, has sought protection with the Kutch hitmen. Maggie is trapped now and Batuk tells him that now we will be buried in the Rann of Kutch. But Maggie has other plans; he manages to outsmart one of the hitmen and grabs his gun. He overpowers the gangsters, snatches the money and speeds away, but in the process, Maggie backs into one of the gangsters. And unbeknownst to him, the gangster is gravely injured. Maggie tells Sumer that he suspects that the shots fired at the party were meant for him, not Kaushiki...As Sumer absorbs this rapidly unfolding plot, he tells Maggie that a solid Narco case will be set against him once this matter is resolved. Sumer gets news that Maggie's gun was fired twice and the cops sweeping the villa have found both the bullets and both the shells and neither of the bullets has human tissue on it. At the same time, Mritunjay, milling about in the market is being watched secretly and we see it is the man in the black hoodie. Sumer goes out to meet the girl he is supposed to meet for his shaadi and during the conversation he gets an email with has an attachment which clearly shows DK and Aditi carrying a limp Kaushiki towards a car. As he barks the order to get DK and Aditi to be pulled in; he gets word from his team that an unclaimed body has been received a small hospital near the party villa area. He excuses himself and runs to his car; his VO talking about how this case is about to get cracked open.
