Vikrant alone in the morgue, looking at the Artist’s face. It’s someone he arrested 10 years ago for minor theft – and let go.

“Copycat is dead. But art never ends. Season 2 coming.”

Vikrant’s team discovers a live video link on the dark web – “Watch the real artist at work.” The original killer, (real name unknown), is broadcasting his next kill in 4 hours. The copycat watches too.

The Artist (charred face, surgical gloves) prepares his third victim – Riya. Dr. Arjun arrives as “copycat killer,” pretending to join him. Vikrant and team surround the building.

Riya, held captive, manages to free one hand. She finds a phone left deliberately – it’s the copycat’s. He whispers through a voice changer: “Help me catch the original, or I’ll let him finish you.”

Bomb diffused. Riya saved. Dr. Arjun dies in Vikrant’s arms, whispering: “Now… he’s gone. Let me rest.”

A MoodX Original style thriller Opening Scene – Night. Abandoned factory, outskirts of Delhi. A young woman, Riya (24, journalist) , chained to a pillar. A masked figure circles her, humming a lullaby. She’s the second victim in 48 hours.

Cut to (45, cynical, obsessed) staring at a crime board. First victim: Neelam , stabbed 23 times. Second: Riya’s friend Meera – same M.O., but different signature. Vikrant realizes: two killers. One original, one copycat.
