Mystery of the Movie Shoot Part-II

The police let the truck with Sudeep get away coz the number doesn't match and catch Col. Nathudas Dhingra's car instead! Meanwhile, Nihaal and Rohit come round, Rohit a little after Nihaal. Suchi says,"Are you okay?" Rohit:"Yes, kind of." Suchi: (in a not-so-nice tone)"I'm not asking you, main Nihaal se poochh rahi hoon." (make that a not-nice-at-all tone...it was plain RUDE. I'm liking Suchi less now). Nihaal says he is better and the doctor says that luckily the protein shake was shared by both of them. The producer, who is also there, thanks the doctor and the doctor leaves. Ishaan says someone wants to scare Nihaal, not kill him coz the blast in his van was a mild explosion, the bullet shot by Sudeep was a rubber bullet and whatever was there in his drink was not strong enough to kill. Nihaal is puzzled as to who should want to kill him, while Ishaan goes outside and brings in a man who was there....Kapil Kapoor. Kapil apologises to Nihaal, saying he had no idea about his make-up man, Sudeep's reality and says that he hopes no one will misunderstand him. The producer gets a call informing that Sudeep is caught and they all go to the police station where ZLK boasts in his usual nonsensical way. Then 'Sudeep' is brought in and Rohit and Farhan recognise him right away. Nathudas:(to CIA)"Oh, tum! I should have known. Arre tum log mujhe kyuin pareshan kar rahe ho? Agar tum log army mein hote na, to main tum sabko ..... (some military term) kara deta!" Ishaan:"Inspector Dum....I mean, Zakir Liaqat Khan. Ye wo nahi hai." ZLK:"To phir ye kaun hain?" Farhan:"Ye to Nathu Uncle hain. Ye builder hai. Cambala mein naye aaye hain. Aap bhi na." Nathudas:"Aur agar aisa hi karte rahe na, to main zyada din yahan nahi rahoonga, koi shakh?!" Then follows an argument between Farhan and ZLK about who messed up ther number of the truck. Col. Dhingra interrupta saying he'll take them all to Court. ZLK begs him not to do that coz he was fooled by the CIA. Then he frees the Colonel. The Colonel strides away, extremely angry. Then we see Sudeep getting off the truck at some place and gets a call. Sudeep says he'll do exactly what he is told.
In CIA HQ, Ishaan says that the new inspector is even more weird and asks what his name is. Farhan:"ZLK. Zor Lagake." They laugh. Then Rohit asks Suchi why she has listed only three suspects. Suchi gives reasons for all three. First, Kapil Kapoor. He was supposed to be the hero of the film, it was his comeback film and a big break. Then Tharani got Nihaal's dates by chance so Kapil had to do the side-hero role. Then there was Niharika, the heroine. There was an affair between Nihaal and Niharika earlier. Suchi comments that Niharika can't even act and Farhan says that she gave a brilliant performance in 'Zakhmi Sherni'. Ishaan says,"Guys!" and Suchi apologises and continues that the affair ended bitterly two months later and then Niharika saw Nihaal with Sonia (in the magazine cover it was printed as Sonali, though). Suchi comments again saying Sonia's one eye is too small (want Nihaal for yourself, huh, Suchi?) and the others laugh. Ishaan:"Suchi!" Suchi apologises again and continues that Niharika hates Nihaal's guts. Rohit:"Aha! Yaani Zakhmi Sherni ka inteqam!" The third suspect is director Ghosh who feels obligated to Kapil Kapoor, coz he introduced him to the film. Besides the director is also fed up of Nihaal's attitude. Ishaan:"Awesome work, Suchi." Suchi smiles. Farhan advises that they should move through the suspects one by one and they leave the HQ, to check Kapil Kapoor out first. Then we see Kapil driving a car, talking to Niharika. He calls her 'Darling' and she calls him 'My love', so obviously now Niharika is with Kapil. Kapil keeps the phone and then he puts on the brake, to find it's not working! He drives pell-mell, unable to stop, almost runs ZLK down and finally crashes into a tree. Next we see ZLK checking the engine out. The producer:"Jhule-laale, gari ka break fail? Lakhon ki production ki gari ka nuksaan. Arre thar se gira Tharani! Kaun para hai mere picture ke peechhe? Pehle mera hero, aur ab second hero. Arre main to barbaad ho jaoonga, sain!" ZLK says there's nothing wrong with the brake cable and moves a cable. Ishaan says,"Zor Lagake....I mean, zor lagake kuchh nahi hoga. Yeh AC cable hain." Then he points out the cut wire of the brakes. ZLK doesn't believe him and says, showing another thing that Ishaan'll say that the battery next. Actually, that IS the battery and as soon as ZLK touches it, he gets a shock.
Kapil suspects Nihaal, but Suchi finds fake eyelashes in the car and nailpolish on the brake cable and decide a girl did it. Ishaan:"Fake eyelashes plus nailpolish. Equals to Niharika." ZLK take down the cover on the engine and perches on top of it to look closely at the wipers. Farhan quickly puts his hand inside the car and presses a switch to squirt water (the water squirted on windscreen) on ZLK's face. The four of them laugh (:( Rohit was not there for some reason). Back on the movie sets, Nihaal says he wants the CIA to solve the case. The director says the police is there and Ishaan smothers his giggles; Nihaal tells him not to trust the police. Director Sourav Ghosh still hesitates and producer says,"Arre THAR se gira Tharani. What nansanse! Nihaal portraye (actually meaning puttar or sumthing, I guess) ne bola, to ho gaya." He goes on to say he had complete faith in CIA from start coz of what they did (Sudeep and all) and gives them a 500 rupee note as signing amount. Suchi takes Nihaal's autograph on the note. Back in HQ, Suchi is kissing the note and Ishaan and Rohit are doing something (not together) Nikki asks Ishaan what he is doing and Ishaan tells her not to disturb. She asks Rohit, who shushes her and tells her to go away. Nikki goes, as usual, to Suchi. Nikki:"Suchi di, mujhe koi nahi bata raha hai ke kya ho raha hai!" Rohit:"Kya bataoon Nikki bachcha? (to Suchi) Tumhare. Tumhare Nihaal khan ke peechhe mera band baj gaya hai (Suchi looks indignant). Kabhi khujli, to kabhi gum (on the fake moustache he was putting)." Suchi:"Nikki, hum operation Niharika ke liye prepare kar rahe hain. Kapil Kumar ke upar jo attack hua tha na, uske baad woh suspect nahi ho sakta. So next option, Niharika." Farhan can't accept Niharika is a murderer coz she was very bholi bhali in some film called 'Sautan ki Daasi'.
Ishaan explains that he has hidden a camcorder in a pineapple and Rohit, in disguise, is gonna keep it in Niharika's room. Suchi:"Aur agar Niharika ne pineapple kha liya to?" Farhan:"She hates pineapples...(everyone looks at him)...mera heroine research." Suchi gives the 500 rupee note to the CIA piggybank...that is, Nikki. At the hotel, Rohit enters Niharika's room, after knocking, dressed as a Punjabi waiter, with a bowl of fruits. The pineapple is there, too. Niharika is applying lipstick. Rohit puts the pineapple out separately on the plate, camera facing Niharika. Then he asks Niharika if she needs any more assisstance. Niharika asks him to check the flush in the bathroom. Rohit, disgusted, is forced to go. He closes the door and then checks the flush, holding his nose. Then he notices gas entering through the shutter at the bottom of the bathroom door and the door itself is locked from outside. Rohit coughs, choking on the gas, almost. Then he sounds an alarm by holding a lighted match near the smoke detector and then, he faints. Next, ZLK and another waiter enter the bathroom (I shiver to think what would've happened if Rohit hadn't managed to light the match near the detector in time!) and they find Rohit and shake him awake. Rohit takes off his beard and the waiter says Rohit isn't from their hotel. ZLK recognises him as a CIA member. Rohit tells him to catch Niharika, who locked him in the bathroom. ZLK takes Rohit to the room where she was locked in, unconscious. In the bedroom, Nihaal splashes water on Niharika's face, who comes around and then moves away from Nihaal and goes to Kapil, who is also there.
Rohit, ZLK and the waiter come in. Niharika says Rohit came with the fruits and she told him to check the flush. After he'd entered the bathroom, her head started spinning and she fainted. Rohit notices Niharika's lipstick on the ground and picks it up. The other waiter tells him to go away and he leaves, taking the bowl of fruits, saying he brought it from home and he has to return it to his Mom. Back in the HQ, Suchi checks out the lipstick under a microscope by putting it on a slide. Ishaan is fiddling about with the pineapple and Nikki is drawing. Rohit throws a ball up in the air and catches it, again and again. Farhan:"Yaar Rohit, mera ek kaam karega bhai? (Rohit doesn't reply and continues tossing the ball up and catching it) Rohit! (Farhan takes the ball) Mera ek kaam kar na, please. Tu hai na, iss case ke bad retire ho ja. (to others) Bathroom mein lock ho gaya! Wo bhi commode saaf karne ke chakkar mein (everyone except Rohit laughs, Farhan the loudest, cleaning his specs)!" Rohit suddenly puts something in Farhan's eye (not HARMFUL) and says,"Kaisa laga mere mehnat k phal?" Farhan:"Rohit! Aankh jal rahi hai." Suchi suddenly calls them all and tells them that there's a chemical coating, probably medicine for unconsciousness, on the lipstick. Nikki wonders who it is and Ishaan says they'll find that out right now and uses the computer to put on the video recorded in the camcorder. They see Niharika fainting and after that, we see the faces of the CIA. Suchi says,"Oh my god!" and camera freezes on their faces.

Mystery of the Movie Shoot Part-I

Before music, we see someone giving a man a movie poster. The man (his name is Sudeep, as we find out later) says the work will be done, but what about him? The person gives Sudeep some money. Sudeep says,"Nihaal Khan. Film shuru hone se pehle hi...(drops a match on poster, which is of a film called 'Saazish')....Ab shuru hogi asli saazish." After music, in CIA HQ, Suchi and Nikki are reading about Nihaal Khan coming to Cambala for shooting of the movie, 'Saazish'.
Rohit:"Hey, kaisa lag raha hoon main?" Nikki and Suchi look at each other.
Suchi:"My god...he's so good looking! He's amazing, in fact he's awesome!!!"
Rohit(coughing embarrassedly....coz he thought Suchi is answering his question):"Uh....itna bhi nahi, haan. Actually, saari school ki ladkiyan bhi mujhe yahi kehti hain!"
Suchi:"Arre Cambala kya...iss country ki har ladki yahi kehti hain, ke the superstar of the country is...(Nikki and Suchi in chorus)....Nihaal Khan!"
Rohit:"Ni....Khan? Huh!" and rolls his eyes. Nikki says Nihaal Khan is coming to Cambala and she is gonna take his autograph as well as photo! Ishaan is silently laughing away from the beginning of the scene in his corner. Now he says,"Girls!" Nikki sticks her tongue out at Ishaan and says she has seen all of Nihaal Khan's films twice!
Rohit:"Kyun? Ek baar mein samajh mein nahi aata hai kya? Nikki, ye filmi heroes to sirf parde mein heroes hote hain. Guys, real life mein heroes to hum hain, yaar!"
Suchi:"Don't be jealous, okay? Ab koi tareeka socho jis se hum shooting dekh sakein. Pleeeeeeaaaasseee!! I really want to meet him."
Rohit:"And I really wanna leave you guys with your Nihaal Khan. Huh!!"
Farhan(entering the HQ):"Guys, guys, guys, guys. Good new, good news!! Kal hum shooting pe jaa sakte hain. Shrini sir ne baat kar liya hai. Yaar ye media mein pehchaan hone ka yahi fayda hai."
Suchi:"Yani hum Nihaal Khan se mil sakte hain!!" Rohit rolls his eyes again.
Farhan:"Yaar Nihaal Khan gaya tel lene! Maine to Niharika ke liye .... liya hai. (Rohit hi-fives with him) Yaar what an actress! Maang bharo sindoor se..."
Ishaan:"Abbey tu mat shuru ho. Kab ja rahe hain shooting pe?"
Farhan:"Kal. Maine saari taiyarian kar liya hai. Lights, camera and CIA action!"
At the shooting spot, a scene is shot. Then we see Kapil Kumar, another actor, in another corner, arguing with the scriptwriter and grumbling about Nihaal. Then the CIA arrive. Rohit:"Uh....Kapil Kumar ji. Aapke bahut bare fan hain...(Kapil looks very pleased)...mere Dadaji." Kapil's smile vanishes. Suchi asks where Nihaal Khan is and the scriptwriter shows his van. Nikki is excited to see the van. Farhan introduces themselves to the man outside and says he must have got a call from Cambala Times. The man goes in to ask Nihaal if he'll meet them. Suchi checks her hair in her reflection on the door of the van (it had a glass pane) and the three boys laugh. The door opens and Suchi steps back. The man says they can enter and they enter, Suchi and Nikki super-excied. Inside they see Nihaal Khan and Ishaan says,"Sir main Ishaan Mehra aur yeh mere dost. Shrini sir ne aap se baat toh..." Nihaal:"Oh ya ya ya, of colurse. CIA gang. Phir toh main tumhara bahut bara fan hoon. Please have a seat." He picks up a bundle of dynamite and Ishaan says,"Sir, dynamite!" Nihaal:"Arre yeh nakli hai." Nikki is about to say she has seen all of Nihaal's films twice, when Nihaal gets a call from the producer, who calls him for shooting of a scene. He has to leave for it. He tells the man outside to take the CIA to the sets. Rohit grumbles about how Nihaal didn't even talk to them properly and says,"Jab main superstar banoonga na, tab dekhna." Farhan:"Haan. Uss din to mendak (frog) bhi per par char kar table tennis khelega. (hi-fives with Ishaan)" They all, except Rohit, laugh and suddenly there's an explosion from the inside of the van and they all duck. Smoke pours out from the inside of the van and everyone comes running. Then one man enters with a fire extinguisher, followed by the CIA. Ishaan sees that the explosion occured from the dynamite, which was supposed to be fake. Nihaal is angry that he might have been killed by the explosion. Producer:"Arre saathiyon, what nansanse (nonsense)! Ye nakli maal mein asli maal kahaan se aa gaya?" Kapil Kumar says the real dynamite may not have been a mistake. Farhan asks if the case can be given to CIA. The producer:"Arre in bachchon ko andar kaun aane diya? Bahar karo public ko, khali kar do sets. Thar se gira Tharani (the producer's surname is Tharani)!" In CIA HQ, Ishaan wonders if the real dynamite was a coincidence or mistake. Farhan thinks it was a planned attack. Rohit:"Ye attack humare liye bhi to ho sakta hai. I mean, hum bhi kam popular nahi hain....in Cambala?" Nikki says that they got only one chance to meet Nihaal and now that is also gone. Ishaan says Suchi has gone to find where the shooting is next. Farhan:"Arre! By the way, Dum Lagake Mumbai ja raha hai...(Ishaan looks very pleased)...lekin sirf kuchh dinon ke liye (Ishaan's smile vanishes). Aur ek naya inspector aa raha hai.....uska jaga lene ke liye." Ishaan:"Jo bhi hoga, DLK se toh better hi hoga." They all laugh.
Then we see the new inspector (temporary), Z.L. Khan and DLK in a car. DLK:"Toh, sab kuchh samajh gaye na? Sub-inspector Zakir Liaqat Khan?" (sorry for places where I've written Zakit in previous cases. So this is how DLK is replaced by ZLK. Only temporarily, thank god! You know, guys, this means this mystery was shot BEFORE the previous two. I think the weird order in Pogo.tv was the CORRECT one, coz this mystery comes first). ZLK:"Lekin sir, aap Mumbai kaunse case ke liye jaa rahe ho?" DLK:"Ha ha ha ha ha. Bahut hi bechida case hai. Meri saali ki shaadi. Hahaha. Tab tak you are in charge." ZLK is pleased. DLK:"Meri jagah leni hogi. Jo mushkil hi nahi, balki namumkin hai. Aur ek baat! CIA se saavdhan rehna. Woh paanch bachche." ZLK:"Arre kuchh kehne ki zaroorat nahi hai, sir. Zakir Liaqat Khan sab kuchh samajh gaya, sir. Main CIA ko see off kar doonga sir." DLK:" (to himself) Hah! Jab main nahi kar paya, toh ye kya kar payega? Stupid! (to ZLK) E! All the best! Keep it up!" and DLK drives off. ZLK:"Mera promotion ho gaya! Main thana-in-charge ban gaya. (yelling to DLK) Don't worry sir! Main sab kuchh sambhal loonga." Then we see another scene being shot. In the middle of it, a diversion arrives in form of ZLK, who comes on his bike, blowing his police whistle, right in the middle of the scene. He tells the shooting to stop coz they don't have permission (you need permission to shoot on a desolate hill, too?!). Nihaal and Niharika, stop acting and a man comes and holds an umbrella over them. Suddenly there's a gunshot and the rearview mirror of the car being used in shooting cracks. Niharika picks up a bullet from the ground, which missed Nihaal by couple of inches. It's made of rubber. Nihaal is horrified and tells to pack-up...he doesn't want to shoot anymore. Back in the van, the director and producer console him and manage to make him stay. Meanwhile, the CIA reach the shooting spot, now abandoned. Rohit finds pieces of the glass which broke from the rearview mirror. The use the position of the shards and Shrini's article in the newspaper to make out the position of the car and Nikki marks it with white powder. Then they use a mirror and a laser ray to make out from where the bullet came. They trace the bullet's path to the forest nearby. Rohit helps Nikki over a high part of the ground and they stand among the bushes.
Ishaan spots a footprint on a rock and Rohit runs into the bushes, following the path which the shooter must have followed, despite the others trying to stop him. Nikki makes to follow him, but Farhan stops her, saying that the creepers out there are wild creepers. Then Rohit pops up from behind the bushes, his face itching, and red allergy marks on his nose (it wasn't clear then, but later it could be seen clearly). The other four laugh, and then Ishaan spots a piece of yellow plastic caught on a bush. Back on he movie sets, we see that the man, Sudeep, is Kapil Kumar's make-up man! The CIA fall before the producer, who says,"O jhule-laale, ye paanch bachcha log phirse aa gaya?" he runs towards the CIA, saying,"Baba re baba." Ishaan says that they are the CIA...Cambala Investigation Agency. Tharani interrupts:"Arre mere baap, nahi suna. Please humko shooting karne do ni. Udhar humara hero pareshan hai. Idhar tum humko pareshan mat karo! (calling to a man) O sain Ramesh!...(the man called Ramesh comes running)...Thar se gira Tharani. Ye bachcha log humko bahut pareshan karta hai. Unko bahar ka raasta dikha do ni. (to CIA) Arre jao ni, jao ni." Ramesh leads the CIA away, they move backwards and Rohit bangs against Sudeep and falls down. He notices the red allergy marks on Sudeep's nose and whispers urgently to Ishaan. Suchi suddenly spots Nihaal Khan on the sets and gasps, saying,"Nihaal Khan on the sets, oh my god!!" while Ishaan manages to get away. Meanwhile Sudeep comes behind a van and leaves his bag there. Ishaan comes there too, and finds a gun in a yellow plastic bag in Sudeep's bag. Then Sudeep comes suddenly and there's a small scuffle in which Frhan comes to Ishaan's aid but Sudeep runs away. Ishaan and Farhan chase him and the three come in between on the sets, in between a shot. Sudeep pushes everyone and runs away. Ishaan and Frhan tell everyone to catch him as he is the shooter. The entire crew and even the cast out there chase him but can't catch him. Ishaan and Farhan follow him on their bikes. Meanwhile Rohit is with Suchi and Nikki and worries how to catch Sudeep. Just then Suchi gets a call from Ishaan and Sudeep come towards the three and comes to a stop right in front of them. The three make to chase him, but Sudeep takes out his gun and points it towards them and they stop.
Luckily, the gun is not loaded and Sudeep runs fo it, the CIA chasing him. Sudeep manages to escape by clambering onto a truck, but Farhan notices the number. In the police station, ZLK is listening to the commentatory of a match when Fahan calls and gives him the number of the truck, asking him to make arrangements to nab it at the Cambala checkpost. But ZLK doesn't note the number immediately and waits to her what the result of the next ball is, so obviously, the number he writes down finally is wrong (he doesn't have a brilliant memory). Then we see the CIA with Nihaal Khan at the Hotel, probably. Nihaal Khan gives Rohit some of his protein drink and Rohit thanks him. They both drink it, Nihaal a little after Rohit. Nihaal tells the CIA the identity of Sudeep (Sudeep's name was first mentioned here, but I mentioned it before to avoid confusion). Then Nihaal gets a call. The caller says,"Nihaal Khan, khatra abhi tala nahi hai. Sudeep to mera pehla mohra tha. Agla mohra, tu abhi pi chuka hai." Nihaal is shocked. He keeps the phone and then he faints. The CIA crowd around him, calling to him, trying to bring him round and then Rohit faints, too!! (he too had the protein drink, remember? My God, I was soo worried till the next day, if somthing had happened to Rohit....GOD FORBID. I know nothing can happen to him, coz he is part of CIA and he was also shown in a disguise in the precap, but...still...anyway, forget it. Bechara Rohit was in danger TWICE in this case! Once in the next episode, too!)

Mystery of the Haunted House Part-III

Farhan and Nikki bike to Lover's Leap where Ishaan and Suchi are. Meanwhile the name-unknown man tells Gurung, the Chinese-kind-of guy not to shoot coz it must look like a suicide. Gurung says he'll push them in that case. However, Farhan and Nikki arrive by then and see them all through binoculars from behind some bushes. Nikki says she has an idea and takes out a voice recorder with sounds of police siren in it. They go to the car of the men and Farhan gets inside, starts it and gets out, then the two push the car so it starts rolling towards the men. The men are taken up with Ishaan and Suchi however, and don't notice the car, coz their backs are towards it. Ishaan and Suchi warn them about the car, but they don't believe the two, of course. The the name-unknown man looks behind and sees the car and he and Gurung rush to the car to stop it. Suddenly the police siren sounds and the two men run away. Ishaan and Suchi also move away from the edge of the cliff. Farhan and Nikki come to them. Suchi says the men said there's some 'maal' in the car which Farhan says he and Nikki can check. Suchi and Ishaan take Farhan and Nikki's bikes to follow the men, using the tracking device. Farhan and Nikki find fake notes in the car, while Ishaan and Suchi follow the men to Rosewood Manor. They go to the place, in both rooms, where the tracker shows the men are, but find them empty. Ishaan says, at one point, the men are either below them or above them or in the sides. They go the the ground floor and stamp around, trying to see if there's a basement. However the men find the tracker and break it. Then there's a sound outside and Ishaan and Suchi run behind a screen and Suchi covers herself with a sheet. Rajan and Nathudas Dhingra come in and Rajan says,"Ye dekhiye sir, aapka hone wala health spa."
Nathudas Dhingra:"Hmm. Not bad. Par meine to suna hai ke yahan bhoot hai? Ha, ha! Agar ho bhi to mera kya bigaarenge? Mujhe dekh kar hi bhaag jayenge! Meri personality dekh kar to border se dushman bhag jaate the! To phir bhoot kya cheez hai!" Then Suchi spots a beetle type of insect on the sheet and runs to the middle of the room, screaming. Ishaan comes running, too, and untangles Suchi from the sheet. Rajan asks what they are doing there. Suchi and Ishaan say they can ask him the smae thing.....and does Neha know that Rosewood Manor is being sold to a builder? "Haan," says a voice from the doorway and they see Neha there. She comes in and says Rajan had been convincing her about the offer for many days and now she has finally said yes, because Col. Dhingra had offered a humongous sum for the Manor. Rajan tells them, angrily, to leave. Neha says it's her fault...she should have told the CIA that she is selling the house. Suchi:"Par..." Col. Dhingra:"Par ab, ye bungla mera hai. Samjhe Mr. CIA one aur CIA two? Aaj se agar tum mein se koi bhi yahan dikhe na, to main CIA one to five ke upar case kar doonga! Koi shakh?!" Suchi and Ishaan try to tell them about the man in the house but Col. 'koi shakh' Dhingra interrupts:"ATTENTION! Forward March!" and shows them the way out. Neha apologises, saying the case is now closed from their side. Col. Dhingra says that anyway, there are no such things as ghosts. Just then, a spooky wailing starts they all bolt, except Col. Dhingra who is left behind scared. Outside, Suchi fears there might be real ghosts. Ishaan says there are no such things as ghosts, but Suchi says there was no one there....even in the floor above. Ishaan suspects Col. Dhingra. Just then Farhan calls Suchi and fills them in on the fake notes. In CIA HQ, Rohit is back (yay!!) and Neha asks him how he is. Rohit says he is fine and he was ill coz he caught a chill and (looking pointedly at Farhan) not out of fear. Rohit shows Neha the fake notes and says that they think it's connected to Rosewood Manor. Ishaan says the dyes from Goodluck Company and blank sheets that they found were for the fake note business. Rajan comes in, saying printing fake notes requires a press and there is no such thing in the Manor. Suchi says there is a basement in the Manor. Rajan says that is impossible because the Cambala River flows 50 feet below the house. He leaves, asking Neha to follow, and dropping a paper while leaving.
Nikki, coming in just then, picks it up and asks Neha what it is. Neha says it's the blueprint of Rosewood Manor and takes the paper and leaves. Later, Nikki draws the blueprint on her drawing board in the HQ and shows the others that there's something weird in the picture. The dimensions of the first floor according to the blueprint doesn't match with what they've seen Ishaan says that means there's a false wall....a secret room in the side of the house. That night, the CIA revisit the Manor. ZLK is there and Ishaan makes him leave by switching on his voice recorder placed behind the Manor. When he switches it on, a spooky wail starts. It says,"Inspectorr...Inspectorrr...mujhse dosti karoge, Inspector??" ZLK bolts and the CIA enter, laughing. They go to the top floor and hunt about for a trap door, false wall, or some switch or button. While they are in the second room on the other side of the walk-in closet, Gurung and his pal arrive downstairs. Gurung has THE Scorpio tattoo on his hand. Upstairs, Suchi knocks over a vase and finds an AC remote inside. Ishaan says there's no AC there. Suchi say she is feeling hot so she switches it on. A portion of the wall next to Rohit slides open and pigeons fly out. The CIA flash their torches inside. Meanwhile Gurung and his partner enter the walk-in closet, where the partner says the house is now owned by the Colonel. Gurung says he told Boss that and he told not to bother about that but complete the current batch of notes that night. The partner asks who Scorpio is. Gurung:"Agar woh mujhe pata hota to main yahan nahi, upar (heaven...actually, hell in this case) hota." The CIA hear the two inside and having no other option, get into the secret room, Rohit pulling Farhan, who was last to remain outside ("Chal darpok andar chal!").
The CIA enter to find fake notes, a printing press, ghost costumes and a sound system inside. Then they hear the men again and hide behind the sofas in the room. Rohit is shown peering out from behind the sofa, looking at the costumes. He secretly grins to himself and pops back behind the sofa. The men, not having found the remote outside, use an emergency button behind a stag's head to enter. Inside, Gurung's partner says it's a good thing the house is built on a cemetery....that is what made the horro-drama more real. Gurung tells him to pack up the 'maal'. Just then, a spooky wail erupts in the room (the costumes, at least the ones I saw, have not moved from their place). Gurung's partner checks the sound system, but it is switched off. Gurung takes out his gun and the two look all around. Suddenly a rotten hand is placed on the partner's shoulder and a 'ghost' (I'm sure you can guess who it is!) pops up. The partner faints out of fear. Gurung points his gun at the 'ghost', who continues to move forward. Gurung shoots and the 'ghost'...who is Rohit, of course...falls back on the floor (my heart went cold for a moment at this point). Horrified faces of the CIA is shown. Gurung takes small steps towards the 'ghost' (ghost for him, I guess), half-afraid. Ishaan and Farhan take out ropes from their bags. Suddenly Rohit sits up and shrieks at Gurung, who falls on the floor. The other four come there and tie the two of them up, while Rohit sits comfortably on the floor. He takes out a steel board from inside the black cloak he was wearing and takes off the long nose. Rohit:"Nice disguise, guys. Soch raha hoon isse ghar le jaoon. (in a ghostly tone) Ha ha ha hee hee hee!" The others laugh in ghostly tones too, while tying the villains up. Nikki:"Mystery of the Rosewood Manor...solved!" The camera zooms on the printing press, on which THE scorpio tattoo is drawn.
Downstairs, ZLK has arrived with the senior Inspector and blabbers about the ghost calling HIM, Zakit Liaqat Khan. The Inspector tells him to enter...nothing will happen. ZLK goes near the door and just then Ishaan opens the door from inside and ZLK jumps few feet back in fear (he thought it's a ghost). When he sees the CIA coming out (except Rohit), he isn't pleased and complain to the senior Inspector about how the CIA take away his promotion every time. The senior Inspector suddenly runs away and so do the other constables. A rotten hand is placed on ZLK's shoulder! ZLK turns to find himself face to face with a ghost! It's Rohit again, of course, but ZLK doesn't know that and he runs awaaayyyy, crying,"Mummy!" Rohit turns to face the other four and says in a ghostly voice,"Pata nahin log kyun nahi samajhte, ke bhoot nahin hote hain!" He grins widely at them and they all laugh. Next morning in the CIA HQ, Nikki draws THE tattoo on her board. Ishaan:"Haan. Yahi hai." Rohit:"Kya?" Suchi:"Yaad hai jab hum Lover's Leap pe the, uss Gurung ne kahan tha jab gari gir rahi thi, ke Boss ko kya kahenge? That means, they have a Boss." Ishaan:"Aur yahi nishaan maine uss nakli note ke press par bhi dekha tha." Rohit:"Guys hai kya ye?" Farhan:"Fikar mat karo. Itne mysteries solve kiye hain, ye bhi kar lenge." Rohit nods and the camera zooms in on the tattoo....and freezes.
END OF THIS MYSTERY......AND BEGINNING OF ANOTHER?

Mystery of the Haunted House Part-II

Guys, I haven't had much time for updating this week, so I'm posting videos of this episode. If you still need a written update, tell me, okay?


SECOND EPISODE - PART TWO:
SECOND EPISODE - PART THREE:
FULL UPDATE (First Part)
Farhan comes downstairs and Ishaan asks him where Rohit is. Farhan:"Wo gadha yahan pe masti karne ke liye aaya hai." Suchi:"Where is he?" Farhan:"Upar." Just then they hear Rohit's muffled cries from upstairs. Ishaan:"Rohit!" Farhan:"ROHIT!" Nikki:"Bhaiya!" They all go upstairs immediately, realizing Rohit might really be in trouble. Farhan shows them the walk-in closet and tells the others that Rohit entered the closet and then the door closed suddenly and then he doesn't know what happened. Ishaan opens the door and they enter. They all call Rohit, but there is no answer. Downstairs ZLK arrives. He goes into the grounds of Rosewood Manor and then uses the mike to say, in a trembly voice,"Bhagne ki...ww..uh...wo...bhagne ki....bhagne ki koshish mat karna..." Upstairs, the four are calling Rohit, but there is no answer. Ishaan absent-mindedly, moves a coat. We see the glowing head of the 'witch' behind it. Ishaan, however, turns around at that moment, and doesn't notice the head. They all turn back at the sound of police sirens and go out of the closet. Downstairs, ZLK yells,"P..p..p..po..police ne tu..tu...tumhe ch...chaaron taraf se gher l...liya h...hai. A...a...apne dono haath aur d...d...dono pair upar karke bahar aa j..j..jao. N...n..nahi to goli m...m..maar doonga." A constable doubts if ghosts are scared of bullets. ZLK:"Pata nahi. Ch...chance lene mein kya problem hai. M..m..main to soch raha hoonke bh..bh..bhoot ko haa...hatkari kaun pehnayega?" Just then the CIA (minus Rohit) come rushing out of the house and ZLK screams. Nikki:"Rohi....Rohit bhaiya andar hain. Please unhe dhoondiye!" Ishaan:"Ek minute. Ye police ko yahan bulaya kisne?" "Maine bulaya hai," says a voice and they all turn to see it is Rajan. ZLK laughs and says,"To yeh hai tumhara bhoot?" Next morning, at the HQ, Neha says,"Actually Rajan ko pata nahi tha ke tum log cottage ke andar ho. Bahar se guzar raha tha, aur usne awazein suni. Aur dar ke maare police ko phone kar diya. Par...Rohit? Rohit ka kuchh pata chala?" Farhan:"Nahi. Rohit ka abhi koi pata nahi chala." Rajan:"Par police ne to kal raat poora Rosewood Manor chhan maara. Kahin tumhara dost phirse koi mazaak to nahi kar raha hai?" Ishaan:"Nahi. Wo ab tak ghar bhi nahi aaya." Suchi:"Aur Rosewood Manor mein bhi nahi hai. To phir kahan gaya Rohit?" Farhan:"Ishaan, hume wahan jaana hoga. Rohit ko dhoondne." Then we see the watchman sweeping leaves in the yard. A black car comes and the watchman is scared on seeing it and quickly gets back to his work, saying,"Marenge! Sab ke sab marenge!" The black car comes to the gates and Ishaan, Farhan, Suchi, Nikki, Rajan and Neha get down from it and come to the gate. They go into the house, to the room upstairs on the other side of the wealk-in closet, and search but in vain. Suchi:"How can he just vanish like that? He must be SOMEwhere! Koi darwaza, window, SOMETHING!" Ishaan suddenly spots a piece of brown paper on the ground, with a label on it. The label says:
GOODLUCK CHEMICALS AND DYES
AQUA BLUE
Batch - Dec, 2007
Ishaan:"Neha, tumhare dadaji last Rosewood Manor mein kab aaye the?" Neha:"Do saal pehle. In fact, do saalon se to yeh jagah totally bandh hai. I was the first to come here again." Ishaan shows her the packet and says,"To phir yeh paper yahan kaise aaya?" Neha:"Kya hai yeh?" Ishaan:"Kisi 'Goodluck Chemicals and Dyes' ka packing paper. Jo December 2007 mein bani thi." Farhan:"Arre yaar yeh sab chhoro, pehle Rohit ko dhoondte hain...(calls loudly)...ROHIT!" Nikki:"Rohit bhaiya!" Ishaan:"I think ye paper hi hume Rohit tak pahunchayega. Neha, aapki family mein kisi ka chemicals ya dye ka business hai?" Neha:"Nahi.....haan, par, Rajan ka family business printing ka hai." Rajan:"Uh...par main kisi Goodluck Dye ya Chemical company ko nahi jaanta." Just then he gets a call and sees it is from Nathudas. He cuts it. The others, who don't know who it was, look suspicious. Downstairs, the watchman is sweeping up leaves and suddenly a hand comes out from a nearby pile of leaves. The watchman screams and runs away....running right into the CIA, Neha and Rajan. Ishaan asks him what happened. He doesn't answer...just screams and runs away. They all immediately rush to the place from where the watchman came and find Rohit, who sits up, causing the leaves to fall off him. He looks preety weak and a little unsteady. All of them rush to him. He clutches the back of his neck (where the 'witch' was holding him....the other hand was over his mouth). He asks in a faint voice,"Main...main yahan kaise?" Nikki:"Bhaiya, aap....aap yahan kaise pahunche?" Rohit:"Wahi to main poochhne wala tha, ke main...(recalls)...main....main uss kamre ke closet mein ghusa aur...aur wahan churail! (the others are shocked) Churail ka haath mere gardan par...(yelps with sudden pain. Poor Rohit!)...aur, dar ke mare main behosh ho gaya. Uh...actually, (regaining his usual condition) dar ke mare nahi, haan (Suchi and Farhan shake their heads and look at each other, with a same-old-Rohit expression on their faces)...darta kaun hai?...uh...ghutan, ghutan se. Haan! (Ishaan shakes HIS head, now) Aur...aankh khulte...main yahaan....(starts to move the leaves all around him)." Nikki:(scared)"Bhaiya! Sach...sachmuch ki churail?" Neha:(pointing to Rohit's neck)"Yeh...yeh mark?" Rohit touches it lightly and then moves more of the leaves, to reveal some engraved writings on a smooth stone! Rohit moves the leaves with double force and the others help. Then Rohit gets up, stunned. They all see, with shock, that Rohit had been lying on an engraved stone covering a grave!
Next part in short (for now, I'll not be doing the rest in detail for some time coz of examz):
In CIA HQ, Farhan tells others that Rohit is at home, with a temperature of 103 degrees, out of fear. Suchi finds info on Goodluck Chemicals and then Farhan and Nikki go there while Suchi and Ishaan go to meet the watchman at Rosewood Manor. The watchman says hardly anything except,"Paisa! Paisa!" Ishaan gives him a hundred rupee note and asks him again but the watchman drops it in horror and tells them to go. The two leave. Then Suchi and Ishaan's bikes get punctured. They accept the offer of a lift from a Chinese looking guy and another man in a black car. Little later, they notice they are not going the right way. The Chinese guy (his name is Gurung) points a gun and his pal, a knife, at them. They're taken to a cliff. Ishaan puts his tracker on Gurung's shoes under pretence of holding his feet and begging for mercy. The men tie Ishaan and Suchi's hands and make them go to the end of the cliff. They are told to jump off the cliff, else Gurung will shoot. Suchi secretly takes out her cell and manages to dial Farhan number. Then she tells the men they can't jump from there coz it's Lover's Leap and they are not lovers. Farhan hears this and also notices the tracker is on (the screen was on Farhan's bike) and is showing the same place. They start for that place using a shortcut while Ishaan and Suchi waste time, Suchi saying they're just friends and Ishaan saying they are lovers...Suchi said that (all pretence, of course). Finally Gurung gets tired of the talk and says he is gonna shoot them. Camera pauses on Ishaan and Suchi's scared faces.

Mystery of the Haunted House Part-I

Before music, we see a young couple (bf-gf, not married) at a spooky-looking house, Rosewood Manor. The girl owns the manor and the boy says she'll be a millionaire coz the place is so big. Inside, however, they first see the shadow of a 'churail' and then a skull rolls to the boy's feet. The two bolt from there. After the music, we see the girl at CIA HQ, seeking the CIA's help. Farhan:"Woh Cambala ke bahar jo Ghanaura Jungle ka road hai, uske aage agar aap jao to ek ... fatak aata hai. Wahan se second left lene ke baad ek satturam ka khet aata hai. Wahan se jab aap U-turn karte ho, to left hand mein ek khandar sa bungalow aata hai. Kya woh bungalow aapka hai?" The girl nods and says her grandfather left it to her. Farhan says there used to be a cemetery there years ago. The girl says she knows nothing about all that. She has arrived from USA three days ago, planning to build a children's home in the bungalow...that had been her grandfather's wish, too. Rohit:"(sarcastically)Aur ab to wahaan bhoot hai, na? (laughs) Come on, ma'am, iss day or age mein? No way!" The girl (her name is Neha Thakraal) says if they had seen what she saw the other night, they would have felt the same. She begs the CIA to do something about it....she is new in Cambala and everyone she talks to, tells her to get CIA's help. Nikki is scaredat the thought of chasing ghosts, but Rohit scoffs at that and says it must be someone's plan to get the property and they should certainly investigate. Ishaan says Rohit has a point and Suchi says then they have a case. Next, the CIA arrive at Rosewood Manor and Nikki is scared just at the site of the house. They enter to find the watchman there, sweeping up leaves. The watchman tells them to run away and says something about 'paisa' 'time' and something else, which the CIA can't understand (nor could I!!). Then Neha and her bf, Rajan, come and the watchman quickly returns to his work. Neha apologises for being late while Rajan says the CIA is only kids and he can handle it himself. Farhan says,"Boss, aap hi handle kar lena. Pehle andar chale?" and they enter the Manor.
Rohit makes spooky sounds, mockingly. The door suddenly closes and everyone gets scared...Neha screams. Only Rohit laughs and says it is just the wind (Ishaan and Farhan weren't really scared, I think, but they were startled anyway, which Rohit was probably not). Then Rohit asks Rajan (mockingly, like Rajan is a kid, probably coz he was angry at Rajan for calling the CIA kids),"To aapki khopri kidhar....oh, I mean, I'm sorry (fake apology). I mean, woh khopri aapne kidhar dekhi? Batao batao, jaldi batao, I'll search for it!" Rajan isn't pleased and Neha shows the place. Rohit searches, but the skull is not there. Suchi asks where Neha saw the witch and Neha shows a room on the first floor. Rohit, still kidding around, asks the witch to open the door (sarcasm, again). The door is locked and Farhan asks Ishaan to open it with his skeleton key, which Ishaan does. Rohit tells Suchi a ghosts room will open with 'skeleton' key only. Just before entering, Nikki sees someone behind another door on the ground floor and gets scared. Suchi says when a door is opened in a locked house, other doors may move due to air pressure...thet is the scientific explanation. Inside, Rohit continues kidding, laughing witchily, this time. Suchi tries to scare Nikki and Farhan by flashing her torch in their faces and calling out their names in a hollow sort of voice. Nikki moves near a table and Rohit suddenly pops up, his torch lighting his face eerily, laughing in a ghostly way. Nikki shrieks and Farhan is kind enough to enquire if Rohit is mad! Ishaan spots some blank sheets of paper on a table and inspects them. Then they all see footprints leading to a small walk-in closet door nearby. They go to it and open it. Farhan, sounding scared aks if Rohit wants to enter first. Rohit says,"Farhan, tu to bahuit darpok hai, yaar. I bet yeh sab kisiki chaal hai," and enters the closet. Suddenly Rohit seems to be pushed inside by an invisible person and the door closes!
The others hammer on the door but it doesn't budge. Then the door suddenly opens by itself and Rohit is nowhere to be seen inside. Meanwhile, we also see someone's rotten hand moving on a statue behind them all. Ishaan, Farhan, Nikki, Suchi, Rajan and Neha go to the other end of he closet to find another door there. They open it and enter. The six of them search the room, half-scared and Farhan comes near a candle stand. Suddenly Rohit pops up, covered in a white sheet, his face a weird blue (it was actually light). He growls like a ghost and Farhan screams and backs away. Then Rohit looks sideways at Farhan, who realizes Rohit was merely playing a trick! Farhan is not at all pleased and says,"Rohit, tu pagal hai kya!" again, but really angrily this time. Rohit laughs and repeats,"Farhan, tu to bahut darpok hai, yaar!" Suchi tells Rohit to stop behaving like a ten-year-old and Rohit makes a face. Suchi says to Neha and Rajan,"Sorry, he is a little...." she makes a sign denoting madness. Rohit is displeased. Then they suddenly hear the sound of 'payal' and Rohit spots a shadow behind a window. The others rush to him and Neha says, on seeing the shadow, it's the same witch. Suchi takes a picture on a camera (the witch ran back and forth three or four times in all). Rohit Ishaan and Farhan rush out of the house. Ishaan goes one way and Rohit & Farhan, another. Ishaan suddenly spots the same footprints on the ground and cutting a thin branch from a creeper, follows the prints. Suddenly a rake is brandished towards him and he spins around, ready to attack. However, it's only the watchman to whom Ishaan apologises, saying there's a woman behind the house, whom he was following. The watchman says there is no one there, except dead people of the cemetery, and money, which makes people blind; at this point, he shows Ishaan his right eye, which is pretty weird-looking. Ishaan notices fresh earth on his shoes. Back in CIA HQ, Farhan tells Neha that he found out from the nearby people that 70 years ago, there used to be a British cemetery in the place where the Manor stands now. The Manor was built after Independence. Ishaan says that's the reason why the watchman talks about dead people of the cemetery. Neha is feels the house might really be haunted, but Rohit, who had just come in, says that he is all the more sure now that there's no ghost there.....he said this while looking at the picture of the witch that Suchi clicked, which Nikki and Suchi were seeing on the computer.
He says that according to films and all, ghosts cannot be captured on camera. Ishaan asks Suchi what she is doing and Suchi says she is looking at the picture for clues. Farhan suddenly tells Suchi to zoom in on the hand, which Suchi does. Farhan shows the others that there seems to be an outline of thread on the wrist of the 'witch' (like the different holy threads which people wear). Suchi says why should ghosts wearthread on their wrists...for good luck? Nikki says or maybe something else. Rohit says he is 100% sure it is a man. Then we see Col. Nathudas Dhingra (from Mystery of the Stolen Formula), meeting Rajan, Neha's bf who has a thread on his wrist. Col. Dhingra asks Rajan if he has talked to Neha about selling the Manor to him. Rajan says not yet, but he'll talk to Neha that night. Meanwhile the CIA arrive at Rosewood Manor. Rohit says to Farhan,"Isse kehte hain adventure.....ek andheri raat, (in a ghostly voice) bhooton ke saath!" Farhan:"Dekh Rohit, tu ye sab bhoot-pret ke mamle ko lekar mazaak mat kar. Maine bachpan mein...churail ko dekha hai." Rohit:" (in a fake, scared voice) Achchha? (scornfully) Abey ja, hat!" Nikki:(scared)"Kya? Kahaan?" Farhan:"Faridabad mein. Meri naani ke ghar ke peechhe ek kabaristan tha. Usi kabaristan mein ek kabar ke bahar woh baithi thi." Rohit:"Achchha? Pata hai, woh churail nahi hogi. Koi murda hoga. Jisse kabar ke andar garmi lag rahi hogi aur hawa khane ke liye woh bahar aa gaya hoga. (laughs in ghostly a way)" Suchi (irritated):"Just shut up, you guys! Now listen. This is the plan. Hum do groups mein divide ho ke poori raat yahan spend karenge, alright?" Farhan:"Par kyun?" Ishaan:"Kyunki do floors hain. Aur dono ko cover karne parenge." Rohit:"Right! Agar dayan ek group ke peechhe par gayi, to doosra group hai na, usse bachane ke liye!" Suchi says Ishaan, Nikki and she will remain in the ground floor while the other two will go to the first floor. She asks Ishaan if he remembers the signal. Ishaan nods and says,"Aaj to iss churail aunty ke peechhe kaun hai, pata karke hi rahenge. Disperse, guys." Rohit tells Farhan,"Chal," and goes to the staircase, but Farhan doesn't follow. Rohit:"Abbey chal na darpok....chal!" He reaches out to pull Farhan, who backs away. Farhan (sounding scared):"Tu...tu ja na main aa raha hoon." Rohit begins climbing the stairs and Farhan follows, a little behind. Rohit suddenly "Boo!"s at Farhan and goes up the staircase, laughing. Farhan follows, still scared. Ishaan and Suchi separate ways, Nikki being with Suchi, to search the ground floor. Outside, someone (I couldn't see him because it was dark) arrives, on seeing whom the watchman is scared.
Meanwhile, Rohit and Farhan explore upstairs, but find nothing. Rohit tells Farhan they can sleep right there that night, Farhan is hesitant (it's the room where the witch was seen, remember?) but Rohit tells him to chill coz there's no such thing as a ghost. Little later, we see Rohit and Farhan asleep. There's a creaking sort of noise and Farhan wakes up. He awakes Rohit, who tells him,"Ullu(idiot) ! Ullu(owl) hai." And tells him to go back to sleep, clapping him on the shoulder. Farhan:"Maarta kyun hai, yaar?" and goes back to sleep. Downstairs, Suchi and Nikki are exploring when Nikki sees the shadow of a hand and screams. Ishaan comes there and tells her, showing a statue, it was only the hand of that statue, reflected due to the light of his torch and she shouldn't have come if she is so scared. Suchi tries to console Nikki telling her that they are all there with her but Nikki is scared that the witch might be real. Ishaan says there is no such thing as ghosts when suddenly spooky sounds fill the entire place....Ishaan records the sound immediately. Upstairs, Farhan is sitting on his sleeping bag, scared, while Rohit is hunting about. Farhan asks what he is looking for and Rohit answers he is looking for speakers...the sounds are definitely taped. He yells out, saying,"Dekho, hum iss se darne nahi wale hain, Samjhe? Just stop it!" Farhan suddenly sees a candle stand launching itself towards Rohit. He warns Rohit, who ducks in the nick of time. Downstairs, a vase falls down next to Ishaan and Nikki and Suchi come there. They are relieved to hear it was only a vase that fell down. Suddenly the witch's shadow appears again and Nikki is very scared. Suchi tells Ishaan to take Nikki out of the house immediately and they rush to the door.....but the door is locked from outside. While they're hammering on the door, Nikki feels something next to her foot. She looks down to find a skull and screams. Upstairs, Rohi spots the 'witch' rushing by and follows 'her' into the closet door (where he pretended to 'disappear' earlier) but the witch captures him and overpowers him....putting 'her rotten hand' over Rohit's mouth, so Rohit can't speak.....this leads Farhan, who is outside, to think Rohit is playing trick again, so he doesn't go in. He tells Rohit if he (Rohit) doesn't come out fast, he (Farhan) is gonna go downstairs. Rohit can't come out, of course, so Farhan goes down. The episode ends with the 'witch' taking Rohit away...from the screen, anyway.
END OF EPISODE

CIA's Page on Pogo.tv

Hey guys! Anyone been to CIA's page on Pogo.tv recently? Coz it's totally changed!....In fact, the entire site has had a makeover and CIA's page looks supercool! It's got bits on the CIA 5 and DLK, the CIA files has briefs on some of the cases CIA has solved so far, the a description of CIA as whole, there are screensavers and wallpapers to download and there's even a game, CIA Cipher. I advise you to try it! It's a good game.
The schedule page is changed, too, of course and instead of a different schedule for every date, they just have one schedule for each day of the week, which is a lot easier to maintain, I guess. The full names of the CIA 5 is given, by the way. Ishaan's and Nikki's surname is Mehra and Suchi's is Duggar, of course...we know that from before. Farhan's is Siddiqui, and Rohit's surname is...well...Ghosh! No offence to people with the surname Ghosh, but I find that surname very not-Rohit-style! There are so many surnames in the world....Ghosh might suit crores of people in he world, but according to me, it does NOT suit Rohit!
Anyway, do check it out. It looks pretty good now. And pretty cool, too. BTW, there's one mistake I made. In Mystery of the Missing Shoes, I've written the thieves get a call from Cambala. Well, what I didn't notice is that the picture which appeared alongside was of THE tattoo! The picture of the call coming on the cell is on CIA's page in Pogo.tv. It's close up picture of the cell screen and it's quite clear. See that, too, if you go, okay? It's in the picture gallery of Mystery of the Missing Shoes, under the option CIA Files in the homepage. So check it out, and I'd like to know how YOU liked it, so comment here, won't you? ANd Mystery of the Haunted House starts in less than two hours. Don't miss that! Bye!

Mystery of the Bank Robbery Part-III

The episode begins with the girl getting out of the box. She goes to the wall and takes off the picture to reveal the big hole behind it. She hammers the wall a little then fits a machine on it to reveal the wall is still 10 inches thick. After some more hammering, the back of the safe is revealed. The girl uses some chemical to burn out a large circle from the bank and then uses a drilling machine to pierce through it. In CIA HQ, Rohit apologises to the others.
Rohit:"Sorry guys, meri wajah se..." his voice trails off and he looks at the ground
Farhan:(bitterly)"Ab sorry bolne se kya fayda?"
Rohit:"Hello? Sorry bol raha hoon na, buddy." he puts his hand on Farhan's shoulder, Farhan moves away
Farhan:"Tere yeh oversmart hone ke wajah se hum hamesha pakde jaate hain."
Rohit:"Tere tarha undersmart bhi nahi hoon, yaar."
Farhan:"Haan. CIA ka hero to tu hi hai, na. Aur hum sab ne dekh li teri herogiri."
Ishaan:"Hey guys, guys....chill. Chill out."
Rohit:(angry now)"No, Ishaan. No chill. Farhan ko akele hero banne ka itna shaukh hai to kar lo yeh case solve. Without Rohit. I'm leaving." he starts to leave
Ishaan:"Arre, e Rohit.......don't be childish, yaar."
Rohit:"Samjhana hai to Farhan ko samjhao. I'm out." leaves
Suchi:"Guys, let it be. Woh wapas aa jayega."
Farhan:"Ek kaam karta hoon. Main usse bulakar laata hoon."
Suchi:"Farhan just let it go, yaar. Let's concentrate on the case." (oh, so calling Rohit, which'll take few minutes, interferes with concentration, huh??)
Suchi:"Phone company ne clearly kahaan ke woh call Art House se hi aayi thi. To ya to Miss Lakdawala jhoot bol rahi hai, ya phir...."
Farhan:"....Ya phir uska peon, Gopi, ek aurat hai."
Nikki:"Ya phir....actually...."
Ishaan:"Actually what?" Nikki says something but I didn't catch it. Anyway, it was unimportant by the looks on the others' faces.
Farhan:"Damn! Ek to wo teeno bhi bhaag gaye, aur upar se jo lead mili thi hume, wo bhi koi kaam ki nahi hai...(looks at Suchi who was holding some black object)...ye kya dekh rahi hai Suchi?"
Suchi:(we see the computer screen)"Pichhle do dinon ka CC TV Camera footage hai, jo maine Miss Lakdawala se liya."
Farhan:"Ab kahe ka rona? Jab chiriya chug gayi khet?" others look at each other, puzzled
Nikki:"Huh??"
Farhan:"Mera matlab hai, ab ye dekhne ka kya fayda? Chori to ho gayi na?"
Suchi:"Iss art shop mein itne saare log aate jaate hain...ho sakta hai koi kuchh suspicious kar raha ho."
The video continues. Ishaan suddenly tells Suchi to rewind. It's the part where Miss L. is putting a vase on the Rajasthani box.
Nikki:"Aladdin aur Chalis Chor?" (that's what she called the box irst time she saw it)
Farhan:"Alibaba aur Chalis Chor...guys, guys, guys! Ye dekho. Ye parso night ka footage hai. Jab store bandh ho raha tha, to box ka latch upar tha. Aur ye dekho, jab Art House khul raha tha, to iss box ka latch neeche hai."
Nikki:"You mean koi hai, jisne raat ko iss box ko touch kiya."
Farhan:"Wahi to. Jo iss box ke andar hai."
Suchi:"Lekin agar andar koi tha, aur usne bahar aane ki koshish ki hogi, to phir box pe rakkha glass vase toot gaya hoga."
Ishaan:"Guys, there's no way to find out. Hume Art House jaana hoga. Let's go, guys. Quick."
Meanwhile, the woman has completes the theft. Miss L. and the bank manager are in a car, the manager is driving, when Miss L. gets a call and after it she tells the manager to take the car to the art house quickly. Inside the art house, the woman has completed the theft and prepares to leave. Just then, she hears the CIA, the bank manager and Miss L. outside. She stops, unsure what to do. Outside, Ishaan takes the keys from Miss L. and unlocks the Art House. They enter, but the shop seems empty. Then they see the broken wall and the empty safe (with a hole in its back). Miss L. is so shocked that she faints. The manager (name is Goswami) tries to revive her, but in vain. Ishaan, Nikki and Farhan see the open box wih quite a lot of tools inside. Nikki:"Oh no! Chali gai!" Ishaan:"Nahi, wo yahi kahin hai." Just then the woman comes out of her hiding place, hits Ishaan (who falls on the floor) and makes for the exit. Suchi tries to stop her, but the woman overpowers her instead, tells her ''Mehtaab Junction, aaj raat dus baje.'' and leaves, locking the shop's shutters easily, amongst the chaos.
Meanwhile, ZLK arrives....the CIA had called him. He is about to leave when he hears it's only the CIA and not thieves and the CIA has to call him back to free them. He does that. Suchi tells the others what the woman told her. Farhan says Mehtaab Junction is 3 kilometres from the Art House and everyone is puzzled as to why the woman should call them there. However they decide to go there, anyway and ZLK says he'll come too, along with the entire force. They go there to find the three thieves, who are completely taken by surprise. While they are arrested, one thief asks who told them the address. Suchi:"Tumhare wafadaar fourth partner ne." One of the thieves says he said Vickina might betray them. Another thief asks where Vickina is. ZLK says she is gone and Ishaan tells the three thieves to tell where she is. One thief says no one knows where she is, 'woh gayi, to gayiiiii!' (makes a sign of going far away). Then we see Vickina on a black bike leaving Cambala. At the Cambala Police Station, the thieves say the same thing....they'd love to tell the police everything about Vickina but they don't know anything about her. They say the night the three of them were caught, when they entered the Art House, Vickina hid in the box, so that she can work on the wall secretly and rob the safe without anyone knowing. One thief says,"Bol chaal se woh Mumbai ki lagti thi." One thief says Vickina was going to buy a house with her share of the 50 crores. On asking where, he says,"Pata nahi. Kehti thi, apne paison se woh ek aisa ghar kharidegi, jo kisike paas na ho. Jahaan ek taraf samundar ho, aur doosri taraf pahaar. Jahaan gulaab khiltein ho bagiche mein, jungle ke kinaare. Subah subah jahaan mor (peacock) nachte ho." Another thief:"Haan, Sir. Woh chor kam, romantic heroine zyada thi." and the thief starts singing and dancing and the inspector (senior to ZLK) shuts him up. The thief:"Sir ek baat bataiye, kya aisa ghar kahin ho sakta hai?" Nikki, who had been dreaming of the house, says:"Hota hai!" Then we see the CIA HQ. Nikki and Suchi are at the computer and Suchi is creating a picture of a house of some sort. Ishaan asks what they are doing and Suchi tells him to wait and watch. She completes creating the picture, tells Nikki to take a printout and then asks Farhan if he has fixed an appointment with Shrini. Farhan nods.
Then we see Shrini's office. Shrini looks at the printout and says,"Ho to sakta hai, lekin mujhe usse baat karni paregi." Nikki:"Please, uncle. Please." Shrini:"Hey, don't call me uncle. It's Shrini, okay? (picks up the phone) Don't worry. Wahan ka editor mere hostel ke roommate ka sala ka mausa tha.....Helooo. Mishra ji hain kaa? To dijje na...phone." Then we see the cell of the three thieves. One thief says,"Vickina! Tune hum sab ko dhokha diya...lekin boss ko kaise dhokha degi? He pulls at the collar of his coat and we see TE tattoo (tiny version) on his neck. Meanwhile, in Mumbai (probably) Vickina goes to a small shop and looks at an advertisement on the front page. It shows a beautiful house which Vickina is very pleased to see. She imediately takes out her cell and calls someone. Vickina:"Hello darling?.....Mujhe mera dream house mil gaya...haan bilkul waisa jaisa maine socha tha....ek taraf pahaar aur doosri taraf samundar....haan, yeh, Alibagh ke paas kahin hai....yahan ek number bhi diya hua hai....main aaj hi jaake inse milti hoon....I have to get this house. Vickina goes to the office and it's Shrini who is sitting inside. Vickina doesn't know his real identity, of course, and shows him the ad, asking him how much the bungalow costs. Shrini picks up the paper and while looking at it, clicks couple of buttons on the keyboard of the laptop before him. Vickina asks where the bungalow is and Shrini, stuttering a little, manages to switch on the webcam. Suchi, Farhan, the inspector (not ZLK, the senior one) and one of the thieves can see her, sitting in another room, in another laptop. The thief says the girl is Vickina and Suchi, Farhan and the inspector go into the next room, taking Vickina by surprise, and says,"Hands up! Hilna mat!" But Vickina is too quick. She grabs Shrini and holds a knife at his neck and tells the others not to move. She takes him towards the door and suddenly releases him and dashes out, closing the door behind her. Then we see ZLK, couple of constables, Ishaan and Nikki on a road, and one constable is pouring oil into the car's engie. Ishaan:"Kya, inspector saab, aapka engine oil bhi abhi khatam hona tha!" ZLK tells him not to talk, blabbering the usual nonsense, when he gets a call from the inspector, who says Vickina is going towards them.
ZLK doesn't know what to do as the car isn't working. Ishaan uses binoculars to see that Vickina is quite close and tells everyone to push the car. They push the car towards Vickina on the bike but Vickina suddenly moves off the road and enters the forest lining the sides of the road. However, she doesn't know the forest well enough and crashes into a tree. ZLK, the constables, Ishaan and Nikki. surround her, but Vickina doesn't give up. She suddenly knocks ZLK's gun out of his hand and tries to run away but a bullet hits her on her leg and she falls, now really and truly caught. ZLK says he didn't shoot....who did? We see a black car on the road and a hand holding a rifle out of its window. The hand is drawn in and the car drives away. In the HQ, Ishaan, Farhan, Suchi and Nikki are holding the newspaper. Nikki:"Wow! Ek aur case solved! Way to go, CIA!.....Lekin, Rohit bhaiya kahan hain?" (atleast someone bothers about him!). Rohit enters the HQ!!!!
Rohit:(smiling)"Hey, Farhan, tu toh sachchi muchchi ka hero ban gaya, yaar!"
Farhan:"Haan yaar. (comes to Rohit and gives him a five) Lekin tujhse bara nahin, yaar."
Rohit:"Wo to hai. Actually.....lagta hai, mere haircut ke saath saath mera dimaag bhi thora kat gaya."
Farhan:(faking surprise)"Tera dimaag?"
Rohit:"Ei...(punches Farhan in the stomach)...ab kaun oversmart ban raha hai haan? But...well done, guys. Ek aur case solved! Tum log apne guru ka naam achchha roshan kar rahe ho!" (ruffles his own hair)
Nikki:"Guru? Huh!"
Farhan:"Rohit....oye!" (Farhan tried to punch Rohit back, but Rohit blocked it easily)
Rohit:"Not so fast, dude! Abhi training baaki hai! Okay? Not so fast."
Farhan:"Aur C-I-A rocks!!!!"
Ishaan, Farhan and Rohit put their hands together and throw them up into the air. Meanwhile Nikki and Suchi unwrap a picture and Nikki puts it on Rohit's wall....the wall with Rohit's name on it, anyway.
Nikki:(holding the picture on the wall)"See?"
Suchi:"Ohho, ye ulta hai, Nikki." (turns it around)
Farhan:"Ek minute, main batata hoon ke yeh sabse best kaise lagega."
Farhan takes the picture, turns it over and holds it on the wall, saying,"Iss ko, aise lagayein to kaisa rahega?" On the back of the picture are the words 'Mystery Solved'. They all laugh. And camera freezes on the back of the picture.

Mystery of the Bank Robbery Part-II

It begins where we left it...Ishaan surrounded by the thieves. One thief takes away his backpack and turns it upside down to spill the contents on the ground. He says,"Wah! Kya baat hai! Uparwale ne isey humare liye bheja hai. Humare azaadi ka poora samaan hai yahan." Another thief picks up some dynamites and says,"Aur iski azaadi ka...zindagi se!" In CIA HQ, Farhan reaches first, followed closely by Suchi. Farhan:"Yes! Aur Nikki hai ZLK ki chamchi!" Just then Nikki comes there. Other two are surprised to see Nikki before Ishaan. Farhan says then Ishaan is ZLK ka chamcha. Suchi:"Well done, Nikki! Tune Ishaan ko bhi beat kiya!...not bad!" Nikki:"Thank you!" But Farhan is surprised and tells the others that he saw Ishaan taking a shortcut. Meanwhile Ishaan has been tied to a tree and he is struggling hard. But the ropes are too tight. One thief says he'll learn a lesson not to interfere in other people's business...anyway, even if he wants he won't be able to do it. In CIA HQ, Suchi:"Farhan, don't you think Ishaan ka shortcut kuchh zyada hi long ho gaya hai?" Farhan:"Main phone karta hoon." He calls. One thief picks up the phone (he knew who it was coz caller name was 'Farhan', the name that was taken by ZLK). He says 'Cambala ...(I couldn't understand this word)'. Farhan can't hear clearly on the other side but he heard what the man said. Suchi:"What happened?" Farhan:"Pata nahi, Suchi. Kisine kahaan Cambala ....... ! I think Ishaan is in trouble." Meanwhile the thieves put the dynamite behind Ishaan's head, put the long wick on a stone less than a metre away (wick was pretty long), set the wick alight and leave, taking Ishaan's phone with them to call ''Apni fourth partner''.
The wick starts burning but it the dynamite doesn't burst immediately, of course, coz wick is quite long. While the wick is burning, Ishaan struggles in vain to get free while the other three are on their way to help Ishaan. The thieves call their fourth partner and tell her they've escaped from prison. They ask when the work is to be done and get a reply, 'Aaj raat' (coz the thief on phone repeated, "Aaj raat?"). They fix a meeting place. The thief keeps the phone and says,"Plan ekdum plan ke mutabik chal raha hai." Another thief takes the phone and throws it away and, on asking why he did it, says,"Taaki plan plan ke mutabik hi chale." Meanwhile, Frhan shows the others the shortcut Ishaan took. They go along the path and find Ishaan's bike, along with some of his stuff, scattered on the ground. The search for him and Suchi spots him. The wick has burned quite a bit now. They run to him and untie him. Farhantakes the dynamite, whose wick had burned quite a LOT, in his hand and throws it far away. Suchi has un-gagged Ishaan by then. Farhan:"How's that?!" Ishaan:(relieved)"Not out!" They untie him and Suchi gives him some water to drink. They all, except Farhan are sitting on the ground now. Suchi:"Thank god, you are safe! What horrible people, yaar! Farhan, you were really brave, haan. I'm sure Rohit would be impressed by you!" Farhan:"Nahi, yaar! Rohit meri thori na koi competition hai! Mujhe jo karna chahiye tha maine wahi kiya. Anyway, (to Ishaan) tu kuchh bata raha tha na yaar? Ke wo log kisiko phone karne wale the?" Ishaan:"Haan. Mere phone se. Apne fourth partner ko. Jo ek aurat hai." Nikki:"Bhaiya, how do you know this?" Ishaan:"Kyunki unhone kahaan apni fourth partner ko phone karte hain. 'Apni'. Matlab ladki hogi koi. Ya phir koi lady."
Then we see Miss L. she is in the Art House. She picks up a hammer and tries to hit the wall with it. Just then, her cell rings. Miss L.:(smiling)"Ya. What's the plan?" Meanwhile the CIA (minus Rohit) are about to mount their bikes on the road, when Farhan gets a call from Rohit.
Farhan:"Hello."
Rohit:"So James Bond, don't tell me, ke tumne apna doosra case bhi mere bina solve kar liya."
Farhan:"Haan. Bas wahi samajh le." and he proceeds to tell Rohit all that happened.
Rohit:(not very pleased...he shouldn't be, he was left out of so much!)"Wow. So this year the bravery award goes to none other than Mr. Farhan! I'm impressed, Farhan. Mere company mein reh kar tu kaafi kuchh seekh raha hai, bachche! Good going. Great guns."
Farhan:"Abhi jokes chhor aur hume Shrini ke office mein mil."
Rohit:"OK. Waise bhi tumhe mujhe apna naya haircut bhi dikhana hai. So I'm gonna catch you at Shrini's office, okay?"
Farhan:(slightly annoyed)"Hat! Bye."
Next we see the entire CIA at Shrini's office. Suchi tries Ishaan's phone, but it's not reachable. Ishaan informs Shrini that the thieves were about to call their fourth partner....if Shrini uses his contacts to get his phone's call list, they can find the fourth partner's number. Shrini:"Sure! Company ka jo manager hai, uska bhai ka beta mera neighbour hai." He says the man's name is Banerji and he calls him.
Shrini:(in Bengali. Translation in bracket)"Dada! Shrini bolchhi (Shrini speaking). Bhalo (I hope you're fine)? Oh yes, kalke Sourav ki darun khello (yesterday Sourav played so well). I also think, ke he should be made the captain. Dada, amaner ekta sahajja chai (Dada, I need some help). Ekta phone churi hoyechhe, bujhlen to (a phone has been stolen, you know)?..." Now we see the thieves. One thief says he is hungry. Another thief:"E! Tere liye min five-star se order karwaun? Arre ... samajh ke jungle mein mumphalian khane ko mil rahi hai." Third thief:"Bas ek din intezaar karo. Phir hum five star se order to kya, poora ek saal five star mein rahenge. Pachaas crore!" The thieves smile. Meanwhile, at Shrini's office, the call list arrives by fax. They find that the fourth partner's number is 9877010390. Shrini makes arrangements for the call to be traced by calling Mr. Banerji again ("Dada, last time tumi eta amar jonne kore dao. Abaar ami tomay dishtorb korbe na"). We see the manager of Bank of Cambala, checking the wall common with the Art House. He gets a call and is about to speak when a security guard enters. He keeps the phone in his pocket quickly. After the guard has gone, he speaks. Meanwhile call tracing starts. Nikki wants to call but isn't allowed. Suchi calls instead, using a fake voice. A woman says "Hello." Suchi, using a dragging, nasal sort of voice, says,(spellings might be a bit weird coz I'm writing to show the way Suchi pronounced)"Heelo. Heelo kya main poochh sakti hoon ke main kisse baat karr rrahi hoon?...(Shrini signals she is doing a fine job)...Heelo medum. (Nikki smiles) Medum main Cambala Trrust Bank se baat karr rrahi hoon...(Farhan listens open-mouthed)...Medum do you have a minute pliss?...(Ishaan looks amused)...Heelo medum, my name is Shanti Vaidya Moorti, good to talk to you Medum...(Rohit grins)...Medum could I be interresting you in a interrest frame bank lo...(in normal voice) Kaat diya." Shrini:"Don't worry, I think it was long enough." Shrini gets a call informing him of the address to which the call was traced. Farhan says that it's the address of Lakdawala Art House! Everyone thinks the woman must be Miss Lakdawala. We see Miss L. herself on her cell. She says,"Hm. Don't worry. Ho jayega." She says to her clerk,"Gopi, agar koi ek ghante tak shop mein nahi aaya, to shop lock karke chale jana, ok?" Gopi:"OK, Madam."
Then we see the CIA outside Cambala Cafe...they've followed Miss L. there, using Ishaan's tracker. Ishaan uses his binoculars to inform the others that she is meeting the manager of the Bank of Cambala.
Rohit:"Ab samjha. Ye art house wali aur ye bank wala mil kar plan bana rahe the, bank lootne ka, un teen choron ke saath. Dekha? Case solved?"
Suchi:"I wish we could hear something!"
Ishaan:"Ek second guys." He takes out a small machine
Rohit:"Ab ye to maan na parega ke mere siva ye kaam aur koi nahi kar sakta. So guys, just wait and watch Rohit....in action." He bends over and plucks a rose from a rosebush nearby
Nikki:"Lekin ye rose wahan pahunchega kaise?"
Rohit just grins and leaves. He goes behind the restaurant and sees a room with a notice 'For Staff Only'. He goes in, finds a waiter's uniform and takes out a wig and beard-moustache from his backpack. Next we see him, disguised as a waiter, with the rose, going to Miss L.'s table, singing "Suno na suno na, sunlo na". He puts the rose in the vase on the table. The bank guy asks him what happened to their order. Rohit says he'll check at once. Miss L. tells him to clean the table, which he has to do. He does it, singing the song loudly. The others can hear everything clearly. Ishaan:"Ekdum clear awaz aa raha hai. Good one, Rohit!" Rohit finishes cleaning and is about to leave when another man calls him. He tells him, showing him a bowl of some potato dish,"Ye kya hai?" Rohit:"Apne order kiya hai, aap hi ko pata hoga na, Sir." Man:"Ye dum aloo Kashmiri hai, ya parso ki baasi curry? Chakho isey." Poor Rohit has to taste it. It was revolting, going by the look on his face. Meanwhile, the others hear the manager saying,"Humare beech ki ye deewar kab giregi?" Miss L.:"Bas, do din ruk jao, phir koi deewar nahi rahegi." Manager:"Phir main abhi naukri se resign kar deta hoon." Miss L.:"Bilkul." Meanwhile Rohit tells the man,"Sir, (showing the bowl) ye hai aloo, (showing the man's shoulders, which were pretty muscular) ye hai dum, aur main ji, main Srinagar se hoon, to ye raha Kashmiri. To hua na dum...aloo...Kashmiri?" (not a good move Rohit, it stoppe you from leaving unnoticed). The man gets angry and throws the aloo at Rohit. Rohit dodges and it falls on a girl's shirt. The girl throws water in the man's face. The manager of the cafe comes running and the man complains about Rohit. The manager asks Rohit who he is. Rohit says he is a new waiter but since the manager is the one who gives jobs, he doesn't believe Rohit. He pulls at Rohit beard and it comes off. Miss L. recognises Rohit and realizes they were being followed. Outside the cafe, Miss L. asks why the CIA why they are following them. Nikki says coz they know what their plan is. The bank manager begs them not to tell anyone. Ishaan:"Kisiko na bataye. Taaki aap araam se bank loot sakein?" Manager:"Haan....kya! Bank! Hum bank kyun lootenge?" Suchi:"Achchha. To abhi kaunsi deewarein girane ki baat ho rahi thi?" The two tell the CIA they were talking about their parents. The two are secret lovers and their parents don't want them to marry. The manager wants to resign and be a partner of Miss L. but if his boss knows that, he'll not let him go. So he needs to keep it a secret. Everyone is surprised. Ishaan asks if 9877010390 is Miss L.'s number. She says no. She also says, on asking, that no one except her clerk (a man) was in her shop when the CIA called the number (they told her the time). Everyone is surprised, again. Then we see the shop. The lid of the Rajasthani box Nikki was struck by moves. It's opened from inside, causing a vase on it to fall and break. A woman dressed in black (face not shown) comes out. She shakes her hair out and picks up a bag.

Mystery of the Bank Robbery Part-I

Before music, we see three thieves planning a robbery, talking about some security camera being switched off. There are papers on the table and one of them has THE TATTOO drawn in the upper-left corner (in Shamsher’s it was upper-right corner)!!! One man asks who is it that they work for? They don’t even know the name. The other men tell him not to ask his name. After the music, we see Ishaan and Farhan riding along a lane, at night. Ishaan:“Yaar, ye movie ka climax kuchh samajh mein nahi aaya.” Farhan:“Climax chhor, mujhe to poora movie hi samajh nahi aaya. Pata hai poora movie mein sabse achchha part kaunsa tha? Interval! Kya samosey the yaar!” Just then Ishaan spots a black car standing before a shop with its door open. He shows it to Farhan. Farhan:“Tera kya chori karne iraada hai? Hoga car ka owner aas-paas.” Ishaan:“Nahi yaar, yahan pe to koi bhi nahi hai.” Then they notice that the shutter of the shop, Lakdawala Art House, is open. They go closer. Farhan is about to go in but Ishaan holds him back, saying,”Pehle humara sipahi ko bhejte hain.” He sends the remote control car in with a cell stuck on top. But it gets stuck inside and Farhan gets in. The men spot Farhan but Farhan hits them with a big piece of wood and gets out. The two shut the shutters of the shops…since the lock on the shutters is broken, they use the bicycle lock instead. Later, the police come to take the thieves away. There’s a new inspector named Zakat (or was it Zakir?) Liaqat Khan (thank god, I thought Atul Parchure has been replaced, till he announced his name later on! This Inspector also tries to be funny, but I didn’t find him as comical as DLK, I felt he was trying to force laughter, unlike DLK’s case, where laughter comes naturally). Anyway, the police take the thieves away.
Next scene is in HQ, where the other three are reading the news article, ‘CIA Boys Prevent Art House Theft’. There’s a picture of Ishaan and Farhan with the owner of the Art House.
Nikki: “Not fair. Ye case aap dono ne humare bina hi solve kar diya. Very bad.”
Ishaan: “CIA’s fastest case. 6 minutes and 45 seconds only.”
Farhan: “Pata hai kyun? Kyun ki Rohit nahi tha.”
Rohit: “Achchha? CIA ke saare cases to tu akele hi solve kar diya na jaise!”
Suchi: “But guys, seriously, ekdum stupid chors hain! Ek to gaari khuli rakkhi, aur upar se, Art House ka shutter bhi! (rolls her eyes).”
Ishaan: “Itne bhi fools nahi the. Art House ka hidden camera bhi deactivate ho gaya tha. Shayad jaldi mein ho gayi. Wo kehte hain na, jaldi ka kaam shaytaan ka kaam.”
Rohit: “Yaani Farhan ka kaam. 6 minutes, 40 seconds. (makes a whooshing sound)”
Farhan: (in a saintly manner) “Don’t be jealous, Rohit. Just because ye case mein tu nahi tha isliye.”
Suchi: “Lekin Art House mein chori karne ka point bhi kya hai?”
Ishaan: “Kyun?”
Suchi: “My mom, she collects paintings. Aur pata hai, Lakdawala Art House mein sirf duplicates milte hain. Duplicate paintings, duplicate antiques…aur wahan ka price bhi bahut kam hai. Wahan ka sabse expensive painting hogi kuchh dus hazaar ki.”
Rohit: (mockingly) “Suchi, dus hazaar bhi bahut hota hai, yaar. In logon ne to bahut bada case solve kiya hai!”
Suchi: “Ya, but considering Primrosa Art Gallery uske saamne hi hai, wahan ki sabse cheapest painting hogi kuchh…dus lakh ki. You know what guys, I think it was a stupid robbery!”
Farhan: (saintly manner, again…just the first sentence) “Chori to chori hoti hai balike! Chhoti ho ya bari. Case to case hota hai,chhota ya bara. Kyun Rohit.”
Rohit sniggers. Just then, Ishaan gets a call.

Ishaan: “Hello Miss Lakdawala…haan, haan…sure…we will be there…Yeah…thank you…bye. (to the others) Guys, Miss Lakdawala ne hume unke shop mein bulaya hai, taaki wo hume thik se congratulate aur thank kar sakein.
Rohit: Tumlog jao. Tumhara case hai, so you deserve the thanks. Well, mera haircut appointment hai, so I'll be going for a hair trim. Adios guys. See you around. All the best. (leaves)
Farhan:"Yaar, ye Rohit kabhi serious nahi ho sakta."
Ishaan:"Chhor na, yaar!"
Farhan:"Pagla Mehmood hai!" They all laugh.
Suchi:"Well done!"
In the prison, one of the robbers tells the others that he SAID they'd get caught. Another man tells him that game isn't over...everything will still go according to plan. The third man says the plan is foolproof.

In the Art House, Suchi and Nikki are checking out the items. Nikki spots a weird statue and asks Suchi which animal that is. Suchi:"Nikki, ye jaanwar nahi hai! (in a singsong voice) Ye insaan ki bebas mohabbat hai. (in normal voice, showing the label) See na, 'unfulfilled love'." Nikki:"Huh??" Suchi:"Get it, darling, it's art...art!" In another side of the art house, Miss Lakdawala is thanking the boys profusely for preventing a theft in her Art House and says the only damage done was that her security camera was damaged, but she has fixed that too. She gifts them a picture and Ishaan unwraps it and says,"Wow! It's great!" Miss L. (Lakdawala):"Yeh ulta hai." She turns it around. Ishaan:"Oh!.....I mean, jiss angle se bhi dekho, amazing lagta hai." Miss L. is pleased. Suchi suddenly drops a pot she was holding, but it doesn't break, thankfully. Nikki picks it up and spots a beautiful box. It's really beautiful and she looks at it closely. Miss L. tells them that it's an exact duplicate of a 400 year old treasure box in Rajasthan. Nikki looks at it closely and then spots a hammer next to the box, on the floor. Nikki:"Ye ek...uh...uh..." Farhan:"Nikki ye hathaura hai." Miss L.:"Ye? Ye to mera nahi hai." Suchi:"Are you sure?" Miss L.:"Of course I'm sure. This is not mine." Farhan: "To phir ye un choron ka hoga." Suchi:"Lekin itna bara hammer leke ye robbers yahan kyun aayenge?...To destroy....or to steal?" At the police station, Suchi laughs at the paintings the thieves had stolen...showing the others that one was actually incomplete! Farhan calls the thieves 'Anari' and ZLK (Zakir/Zakat Liaqat Khan) gets angry thinking Farhan called HIM 'Anari'. A teensy comic sequence follows in which Farhan convinces ZLK that he didn't call HIM 'Anari' and mimicing him when he was looking another way (Rather, it was MEANT to be a comic sequence coz I did NOT find it funny at all. I don't like this new guy's comedy skills much. DLK was way way better). Anyway, the constables take the thieves out of the cell and ask ZLK for the papers coz they have to take them to the court. ZLK gives the papers and one of the thieves holds on to Ishaan's chair and says,"Hum tumhe chhorenge nahi." Farhan trips the thief up by sticking out his foot and the constable takes him away. Suchi notices some powder and bits of stone on the floor which fell from the theif's trousers' folding. She puts a sample in a plastic bag. Ishaan examines it in HQ and says it's concrete with light blue colour paint on it. Nikki says the walls of Lakdawala Art House were of that colour. They go there and find it's a match. Behind a painting, they find the paint chipped off and bricks exposed. Miss L. tells them behind that wall is the Bank of Cambala. The CIA is surprised.

The CIA visit the Bank of Cambala where the manager shows them the wall common with the Art House...it has the safe on it. The manager tells them that minimum amount in the safe is Rs. 50 crores. When he hears that the safe was about to be robbed, he says the police should be informed...Miss L. agrees. Then we see the van where the thieves are being taken. ZLK gets a call..."Yessir, yessir...kya?...haan?...kaunse bank ka?...safe chori kar liya?...kaunse bank ka safe chura liya?...CIA?...wohi ladke?...haan...Ishaan aur Farhan..." The thieves hear this and one says that police came to know everything and now they'll get a ong term in jail. Another thief tells him to stop panicking coz everything can still go according to their plans. Meanwhile, the CIA (minus Rohit) is biking to the HQ.

Suchi:"See? I knew it. Paintings toh police ko fool karne ke liye chura rahe the. The actual plan was to rob the bank."

Farhan:"Haan, par woh to humne foil kar diya na? Ab case over n race start. Jo bhi headquarter sabse last pahunchega, wo banega ZLK ka chamcha."

Ishaan:"Achchha. Rohit nahi hai to tujhe race karni hai? Chal thik hai. I'll race you."

Farhan counts one, two, three and they set off. We see the van again and ZLK tells the driver to turn the van round coz there's a new twist in the case. Meanwhile the thieves at the back start fighting and ZLK makes the driver stop the car and gets off and goes to the back door to stop the thieves. However, as soon as he opens the door, the three thieves fall down on him, flatten him, and escape before the constables can get to the back door. In the race, Ishaan takes a shortcut (that's cheating, Ishaan) and Farhan sees him doing it. But I don't think he followed Ishaan. Neither Suchi nor Nikki notices the shortcut. Ishaan takes that path to fall right into the hands of the thieves, who were escaping. One thief:"Kya luck hai humara aaj. Udhar police ke haath se bahar aur yahan ye humare haath ke andar!" The three thieves surround Ishaan.
