[9] Anjaney Agashe, a rugged drug-addicted Inspector, gets rid of known criminals by killing them and staging their deaths as an encounter as his daughter Vaani had been shot during a raid in Goa.

Meanwhile, Advait Thakur, a released convict, immediately calls Agashe and informs him of an upcoming murder of a cop and wishes him Happy Solstice.

However, the police instead take Advait and Sara to a bridge, where they plan to frame them for drug peddling to avoid Michael's scandal of visiting a prostitute.

Present: Michael reveals to Advait at the station that he strangled Jessie after the house burnt, where he leaves so that Agashe can kill him in an encounter.

A shocked Agashe wonders and reluctantly releases Advait due to lack of evidence and Teresa protects Sara by telling a fake testimony.
