Pretakalpa

When Sartaj's constable, Katekar, is pressured to investigate the case of a young man from a Muslim slum who has been missing for many days, he finds a relation between the boy and a theft in nearby shop. The episode title refers to a Hindu text, read when the last rites of a deceased Hindu are performed.

Having tried to find a link between his father and Gaitonde, Sartaj Singh turns to his mother but comes back without an answer. Meanwhile, the Bollywood actress uses a self-inflicted injury in a conversation with her police link to get her blackmailing boyfriend in trouble. She references the "dog murder" shown in the first scene of the first episode, as a point of leverage against him. On the sidelines of the plot runs a story of a small-town gang from a Muslim-majority slum of modern-day Mumbai. Sartaj Singh and his team of cops go after these thugs and the situation ends up getting violent. Singh's main sidekick is murdered by one of the juvenile offenders resulting in Singh chasing and shooting him dead while the other 2 teens are killed by Singh's fellow officers in retaliation. Meanwhile, back in the 1990s, Gaitonde who had first suspected his best friend Bunty of being the mole, realizes that brothers Bada and Chotta are responsible and he executes both of them.
