We begin with a new voiceover; a male/female (depending on the star) voice over; it talks about Dussera; an auspicious day for many reasons but primarily for the triumph of good over evil. And while we see the elements of Dussera (B-roll from Mumbai), we hear the VO talk about; but I didnt have any idea about the quantum of evil coming my way and finding the truth will be the biggest challenge of my life. It all started with a party and a guy called Ripu. We see Maggie at his home, waiting for Ripu and he calls DK and tells him there is something about one of his friends troubling him; DK is immediately on guard as he thinks MAggie is talking about him and Aditi. DK talks roundabout to get to know what Maggie is talking about but MAggie says not now; but tonight at the party he wants to talk to DK and Aditi about something. DK, shitting bricks, says ok. We see Ripu being greeted by Maggie who is clearly very excited about the party and finally reveals the gifts; 5 high end GoPros; also a bday gift. He tells Maggie that his friends back in US want to know how their Indian counterparts party; Maggie send 1 GoPro to Nikki; 1 to Kaushiki, 1 to Mritunjay; 1 he keeps for himself and Aditi and 1 stays with Ripu. In the mean time, DK who is with Aditi, is panicking; we now see the weak side of DK who is a lost puppy and Aditi is in charge. She tells him not to fret; she has it covered. Mritunjay receives the GoPro at the pool and while he is swimming, he keeps getting flashes of the mail and the possibility of him being blamed for Chris's death. He looks around and finds a girl crying to her dad; I dont want to swim; I will drown. Nikki calls on Kaushiki who is surprised to see her; Nikki says; ride with me to the party. They have their cams; on helmet and on the scooty/bike. While riding, Kaushiki asks her if she spoke to Yamini and NIkki switches off the cam and they stop for a cup of tea. Nikki tells her that she came clean last night; her sister threw a fit. But she assures Kaushiki that thanks to her; some ugliness has left her life as the sisters will finally rally around each other. Kuashiki is super happy to hear all this. As Nikki and Kaushiki take off, they are followed by a guy on a bike in a black hoodie. A little ahead on the highway, a maruti van is speeding with 2 guys in it and they are listening to music and generally happy. The van is flagged down by a man on the road and once the van stops, he comes over to ask for directions to the party villa. The drivers smiles and says that they are also going there, come join us. The man takes out a gun and another man appears on the other window and says; not any more and hits him with the gun's butt. The van stops at the party villa and 2 tough looking men get down with pots of biryanis; they tell the guards that they are the caterers team. they go inside the kitchen and as they open the pot of the biryanis; they take out guns and stick them in their pants. At the Villa; people start streaming in; everyone wishing Maggie when Aditi arrives. Ripu and Aditi meet each other with exuberance but while hugging Aditi, Ripu notices DK also coming in. He is stunned but Aditi manages to tell him to keep quiet and she will explain. MAggie introduces Ripu and DK and Ripu is a little cold to DK. Nikki, Kaushiki and Mritunjay also get introduced to Ripu and soon the party is in full swing. The 2 intense waiters are serving the food and drinks and keep an eye on the proceedings while we see a floater in the party; the guy in the black hoodie. Ripu is getting drunk-er by the minute and is having a ball, using her camera to film a ditzy girl; Neetu, who is acting all cool for Ripu's camera. Kaushiki mentions to Maggie that Ripu seems like a good guy and Maggie touches his gun, saying cryptic stuff like these days you never know who is good or who is bad. In the meanwhile; we see Nikki switches off her cam and goes to the bar and starts chatting up a hot guys; they talk as if they have chatted online before; some cool flirtatious behaviour follows which ends abruptly when she asks the hottie Yohan for her 'stuff'. He gives her a tiny bottle. DK and Aditi find some time alone to talk in the bathroom about their plan but keep on getting interrupted by rowdy revellers. Maggie finds an excuse to take Kaushiki to the rooftop where Kaushiki talks about how he is surrounded by people who arent what they seem; but Maggie can only hear his hearbeat while fidgeting with his gun. After a bit; the time is to cut the cake and Mritunjay asks Maggie if he has seen Kaushiki. Maggie says no but Kaushiki arrives to the scene and all the friends are standing together waiting for the cake to be wheeled and just then, we see the guy in the black hoodie switch off the light. The waiter take this moment to open fire towards where Maggie and Kaushiki are standing. Maggie returns fire in panic. 4 shots ring out and there is chaos. DK and Kaushiki grab Kaushiki's hand (since she is standing with them and it seems that they are trying to pull her to safety) ?????? and pull her with them as Maggie instinctively covers Ripu. Sometime later, as the junior cops reach the situation; they find Mritunjay come running to the Villa. When asked where was he; he says he had gone to find Kaushiki; who is gone missing. Mritujay is hysterical. And the junior cops go down where the first scene happens again as Sumer Singh joins and the cops inform him that 1 girl is missing. Mritunjay is doing full drama; someone please find KAushiki. he calls out the 5 friends and tells them to inform their parents; it is time to investigate. As he looks at the 5 friends; his VO talks about rich, educated smart kids; it will be difficult to find who is evil and who is not.
