"Yes" "Who do you miss the most?" "My mother." "At what age did you lose her?" "Seventeen." "Married?" "No." "Sex life?" "No." "No?" "No." "Depression?" "No." "Seeing yourself in the criminal's place while chasing one..." "I don't have any explanation for this as such, Mr. Shabor." "This is your subconscious mind." "Losing your morality, ending up doing something bad, getting tense about something of that sort?" "Hmm." "Is that a fear or attraction?" "Sexually abused as a kid?" "Hmm." "In that case the probable justification will be... this persona of yours as the Assistant Commissioner of Police.." "This is your conscious mind." "But your subconscious mind constantly revolves around crime." "Which is why you're seeing yourself as the criminal time and again" "Mr. Shabor, the human mind is the.." "Game of the conscious and the subconscious mind." "Do you go on holidays?" "No." "Basically you don't have a life beyond work." "No." "It's very important to take time out for yourself."

"Was your wife in the bedroom?" "Hmm." "I see." " You?" "I was away." "Lodhasuli." "Came back this morning." "What business did your wife have?" "Heard she had a business?" "Perfumes." "She and Nandini used to run the business together." "Come" "Inside." "Sir... come?" "How much is missing?" "I'm not sure, must be around a lac of rupees." "Yes hello, listen.."

"Won't get seams." "Believe me." "We found two pairs of boot prints downstairs" "Two robbers got into your house" "That woman is lying dead on the staircase." "And while getting out with the money they shot your wife." "It's very simple!" "" " Yes, Sir." "A simple robbery." "Open and shut case." "But don't expect to get the money back" "You have a license for this?" "You're impossible!" "Clear this fast!" " Yes, Sir." "Get this body out of here." " Okay, Sir." "Come on!" "Oh yes!"

"Get the stretcher:" "My daughter is named after his bungalow!" "Keep the revolver properly." "Probably loaded, we may need it." "Thank you very much." "Inspector..." "I was so embarrassed, Sir." "You are my idol." "Is this how an inquiry happens?" "You don't think this is a dacoity?" "Sir, I am not happy with the entire process of investigation that happened." "If you could just look into it..." "Farewell, holiday." "Mr. Ray..." "ACP, Detective Department, Shabor Dasgupta." "He is Nandalal Bose." "R 33"" "Sorry." "I've already told you what I had to." "I haven'!" "yet visited Shivangi..." " You can't go, send someone else." "You came back home, walked up the stairs" "The first one came stood there" " Nandini Sen." "You shot her.." " Err..." "I?" "Just assuming It's you who'll tell me the truth." "Oh my God!" "Shivangi..." "Shivangi!" "Shivangi..." "Shivangi!" "I managed to send her off to Medica and called them up." "Sir..." " Hmm?" "Please come here?" "Looks like a bullet mark." "Good, you're here, Sugata," "You may not find anything." "But still look around..." "You may not find anything." "But still look around... keep this shell." "Mr. Bishan, come outside." "How did you know the amount of money missing is a lac?" "I gave her a lac before going to Lodhasuli." "Hmm." "My share." "Share of?" "Household expenses." "I don't have any idea what else could've been in the closet." "Does your wife sleep with a revolver every night?" "Be prepared, Mr. Bishan." "I'll come back." "You're saying.." "This is not a dacoity?" "Your wife took a shot at the dacoits, Mr. Bishan" "It's not as simple as you think" "'What's up, Sugata?" " Impossible, Sir." "Numerous hand prints and boot prints." "All the evidence is spoiled." "I only took the revolver; mobile and the bullet shell as evidence." "Fine, go." "Send in the report fast." " Okay, Sir." "The key was hanging from the closet, which had one lac rupees inside" "More or less, as you say." " Right, what's the fuss?" "A simple dacoity." " Is it?" "Isn't that so, Inspector?" "If that is so, Mr. Bishan, did your wife sleep with a revolver every night... or did the dacoits text her before coming?" "I'll drop you to a taxi midway." "Your boss won't be happy to see you come in with us" "Shah Rukh will put up a great show today!" "Hey!" "Go back!" "I'll show cause each of you!" "Is your job an ordinary service?" "No proper investigation Nothing." "Moreover you screwed up the evidence." "Shah Rukh Khan, eh?" "Sir, we thought it was.." "You thought it was..." "What was it?" "A dacoity?" "Never thought why the revolver was lying beside the pillow?" "Was it for decoration?" "You're not considering our side at all, Sir." "There's only one side I can see." "And that's your 'back side'." "Due to officers like you the entire department is shamed!" "Don't you understand that?" " No excitement, Sir!" "You will not speak English!" "Must've volunteered for the Eden Gardens' duty?" "Go, enjoy the show." "Reply to the show cause when you're back." "And then I'll see which Shah Rukh Khan saves you!" "Jahnavi, who is sheltered in the house, confirmed Bishan wasn't there."

" No." "And that's when I get involved in these nasty things" "As in you know..." "The self-aware sinner." "So you are not as descent as you seem" "You see, I'm not... quite balanced" "Clean now; drugged the very next moment." "There's a bad man in my subconscious chasing me all the time." "In many cases the subconscious mind rules over the conscious mind." "So.. when you become the other type... what do you do?" "I sleep with women" "Drink to death." "Screw up my character:" "A restlessness works inside me." "Hmm." "Oh." "Nandini Sen. Who's she?" "Shivangi's friend." "They grew up together." "Shivangi brought her here" "They were doing that perfume business together." "It was Shivangi's business." "Nandini used to support her." "Why bring amend home'?" "Both were from Asansol." "Shivangi called her here, later." "Shivangi... she used to take up everyone's responsibility." "How was your equation?" "Good morning" "Morning?" "." "Oh YES morning." "Pass me the butter?" " Oh, sure" "Thank you." "Have you congratulated Shivangi?" "Congratulate for what?" "Strange" "Aren't you updated about Shivangi at all?" "She's getting the Young Entrepreneur Award this year" "Okay." "Good." "Don't you feel good about our success?" "Yes" "And what do you feel about me?" "I get it." "You'll never speak up." "Fine, don't tell Shivangi." "You can tell me at least?" "Am I that bad?" "You both were romancing behind your wife's back, right?" "Assumed that too, right?" "All women hate me after they get to know me" "Nandini was no different." "You have blind faith in yourself." "You don't know about my past, Mr. Shabor." "I'll find out." "How long have you been married?" "Ten years" "My father thought his son would change after marriage" "But I'm one irreparable thing." "And what about these.." "...sudden bouts that you keep getting into?" "Any past history?" "I was fifteen.." "She was about ten years older than me." "This woman." "A married woman." "Goon Sir is listening." "That was my first experience of the female body." "Not a good experience?" "No." "I was forced." "Is Shivangi aware?" "No." "She does not." "That one up there is your bedroom?" "No, that's Shivangi's room I sleep here." "Downstairs." "We slept separately." "Why?" "'WHY Separately?" "She used to dislike me... hate me." "She 'used to'." "Who else went to Lodhasuli?" "Shatarup." "He has a farmhouse there." "Just he and I." "That's it?" "Paromita Das and Rita Fernandes." "Call girls?" "Paromita was in Shatarup's room and..." "Rita was in mine" "So where do I find them?" "'Will you tell me or I'll have to find out?" "Shatarup has a real estate business in Rajarhat." "Rita and Paromita, are dancers at a pub in that area." "Good evening." " Evening, Sir." "How is she?" "Can't tell anything before 48 hours." "Critical case." "The pieces of the bone have penetrated deep into her brain." "She's our vital statistics" " Vital witness!" "Sir, she has to come back." "We are giving it our best shot." "Let's see." "What's this obsession with the English?" "Jagabandhu Bengali Medium school." "Consciously Bengali and unconsciously English.." "Shut up!" "Told you repeatedly, it's enough if you can speak your mother tongue well." "Not knowing English is not a crime!" "Sir." "Mrs. Ray, speak UP!" "You know everything." "A man who knows he's dirty but won't change" "Were you trying to reform him?" "Okay." "Okay, fine" "Okay." "Sir..." "Shatarup Sen is the Mr. Good boy!" "Got released from the jail last month" "Bishan Ray seems to pick his friends wisely." "Bishan Ray was abused when he was fifteen." "Never came out with it." "And today, after years the incident comes back to screw up his life?" "So it was there in his subconscious?" "Get in." " Sir." "Why do I dream of marriage in my subconscious?" "Ever tried to get married?" " Yes thrice, Sir." "Their families refused because I am a cop." "Thank God." "Or your subconscious would make the bride unconscious" "Sir, where are we going now?" "Rita Fernandes." ""In this heart, who comes and departs"" ""Waking up the night with his eyes"" ""For whom do we wait here"" ""Why is the heart so restless today?"" "Sir..." "Shatarup Sen" "We'll deal with him later." "Rita is our target right now." ""My heart burns o my love"" ""My heart burns o my love"" ""The night is there, the words too"" ""'With the beloved close to you"" ""So whisper all that you wanted to say"" ""And he'll bring all those nights to the party"" ""O dearest, live to the fullest tonight"" ""For he'll come, and you'll be in his sights"" ""My heart burns o my love"" ""My heart burns o my love"" ""In this heart, who comes and departs"" ""Waking up the night with his eyes"" ""For whom do we wait here"" ""Why is the heart so restless today?""

"Are you Rita's manager?" " Husband." "But in this field there are no husbands." "We are 'attached baths'." "I am Rita's attached bath." "Staying all night?" " Let's see" "Advance, two thousand." "Advance?" "You know how often men shrink up in front of Rita?" "Rita loses time." "I lose my commission." "Hey, Rita?" "Rita!" "Customer!" "We're wasting time!" "Send him in!" "Go in." "Come" " Sir." "Come on." "Please cover yourself up" " Why?" "My skin is thick enough." "Please don'!" "waste time." "Need alcohol, right?" "Shabor Dasgupta, Detective, Lalbazar Headquarters." "Oh!" "Sir!" "Why didn't you call me to the Police station?" "Can you give me five minutes, please?" "My love, I'm counting every moment," "That I wait" "Come on, honey!" "It's spring time again" "Cold drink or coffee, Sir?" " Know Bishan Ray?" "Why, what happened, Sir?" "A murder happened in his house." "His wife's shot on the head, in coma now." "I have no idea about all this, I swear on God!" "You went to Lodhasuli, right?" "Yes I came back this morning." "Shatarup introduced me to Bishan." "So I went." "Besides the payment is good outside the city." "But he was one problematic fellow, Sir!" "Why?" "What is it?" "Why so calm now?" "Everything was fine till the afternoon." "You know what, my mother used to stroke my hair exactly like this." "What the... my lap reminds you of your mother?" "After drinking at night, he went berserk!" "A completely different guy!" "What is it, honey?" "What is it?" "Don't touch me!" " What is it?" "But... tell me what is it?" "What?" " No, don't touch me!" "Why are you behaving like this?" "You'll fall down!" "Move away!" "This Bishan is an animal!" "You want to finish me, right?" "You want to finish me?" "You witches.." "You worse than senseless things..." "Look at me!" "Are you feeling sick?" "Look at me!" "Leave me alone please!" " What is it?" "Just get out of my room!" "Hello..." "Hello!" "When beggars die, there are no comets seen." "Hello?" "When... was this?" "Around 1:30 am?" "Bishan got angry and disconnected the call." "You didn't know Nandini or Shivangi?" " Are you mad?" "Sorry." "We stay outside." "The wife stays inside." "Didn't Bishan contact after that?" " No." "In fact I joked when he left," ""Marry me if you want to stay in contact."" "He quipped, he's failing at his current marriage" "His wife has filed a divorce." "1.5 crores for alimony." "Let's say, a woman regularly, day in day out abuses a teenager sexually." "Then automatically the teenager's adolescent years get ruined." "Ultimately, the entire idea of a woman, comes to symbolize an erotic crime to him." "Therefore, this person's marital or conjugal life, everything gets messed up." "Basic emotions, finer nuances." "Everything is ruined." "And what he is left with, is basic animal instinct." "Just ﬂesh." "Don't they reform?" "They can get cured." "Through regular treatment and counselling." "Otherwise there's a guilt trip." "An anger." "A misunderstanding regarding women keeps growing within them" "Not very handsome But... there's an attraction, that... that probably women find irresistible" "That is quite clear." "Or why would a 25 to 30 year old woman, sexually abuse a 15 year old, Mr. Shabor?" "But it is also true, that this man is making an effort to cure himself." "Or he wouldn't have told you everything." "You can't walk even a step ahead denying sexuality." "And that would be incorrect." "It's okay." "Thank you." "Next patient, please" " Yes, Ma'am" "Enjoying the fresh Bhekti fish eh?" "Even big restaurants serve Basa instead of Bhekti these days" "Tasteless." "Right, Sir." "You know what, Sir..." "I must've been around 15." "I was damn scared of girls." "Once, in the 9th standard, my friend, Bhuni was.." "Beaten up by Swagata from Bethune College, so badly, black and blue!" "Since then, Sir, I always change my way whenever I see a girl." "I have no interest in the 15 year old you." "But, Sir, these people need treatment as well." "Bishan Ray!" "Philanderer for sure" "Either a dacoity or a murder." "Motive?" "Divorce." "But the divorce has not happened" " Here" "Thank you." "That would've cost him 1.5 crores" "If his wife dies he won't have to pay." "Not motive enough?" "Bishan Ray hired men to kill Shivangi." "Nandini came out." "Saw them" "They had to shoot her too." "How did Shivangi know she was about to be killed?" "She slept with her revolver." "That is the first hitch." "What did Nandini tell Bishan when she called her at 1:30 pm?" "That's the second hitch" "For that we've to go through the documents from Nandini's room." "Get in." " Sir!" "Trying the phone so late.." "Found someone at last?" "I'm not that lucky, Sir." "Forgot to tell my mother I've eaten outside." "She'll wait up for dinner." "Yes, Maa" "Yes I've eaten." "Have your dinner." "I've been trying since a long time but..." "Thank you, Sir." "Yes, fine" "I'll call you later." "Okay." "E-mails?" "Yes Sir." "Sent from Nandini's ID to Bishan's ID." "Nandini had taken a print out." "Bishan!" "Bishan, wait!" "Wait, I'm coming!" "Nandini!" "Leave him alone." "Leave him" "But I'm sad to say" "That I'm on my way..." "Won't be back for many a days" "I don't know what your sorrow is..." "I want to give you everything" "Come to me" "Please." "Brilliant!" "Leave me!" "Leave me, I don't want to go back" " Quiet." "I don't want to live, Shatarup!" "Come on, go to sleep, okay?" "I'm dead Shatarup My life is ruined!" "I'm dead, you bloody bugger!" " It's okay." "It's okay?" "I'm saying I'm dead and you're saying it's okay?" "You'll hurt yourself." "Stand straight." "Impossible to handle this massive dead weight!" "Yes, make me a dead body, Shatarup." "Kill me, come on!" "Turn me into a dead body!" "Dead body!" " Bishan!" "Bishan, what happened?" "You can go now, I'll handle it." "He's drunk." "Can't stand straight." "Speaking crap." "Please go." "I'll manage" "I'll manage." "Bishan!" "Excuse me." " Oh, okay." "I live my own life, Angels" "I'll die my own death" "Let's go to your room" "Come on, get up." " My life is ruined." "Careful." "I said my life is ruined, he says it's okay!" "He says it's okay." "Come on." " But I'm dead!" "I've been planning to break a shocking news to you." "But to get something, you must give something as well." "Isn't it?" "Blackmail?" "Nandini's e-mail?" "Nandini's e-mail?" "'With a news that could shock you?" "Why do You ask?" "Because you're clearly shocked." "What kind of news could it be, Sir?" "I don't know." "She was saying the same thing when she called at Lodhasuli." "Some news that she knows that will destroy me." "She's said this earlier too." "She thought Bishan will delete the mails so she got print outs." "But if Nandini sent those mails, then those must remain in the system." "Maybe she kept it for safety." "Or, could it be so, Sir... someone else got the print outs from Nandini's mail?" "Hacking the password?" "Does that mean someone knew about Nandini and Bishan?" "You know what I mean?" "Mr. Shabor, I lose my senses when I drink." "And I cannot tell you if..." "anything happened." "Love Nandini?" " Oh God, Mr. Shabor, please!" "I don't understand this entire 'love' jazz." "Please don't ask me such questions!" "Please!" "One royally messed up fellow." "'With a wife at home and... two other unmarried women." "Get your laptop" "Wham!" " Laptop" "Go to your e-mail." "The mails I am looking for... have you deleted them?" "It's been ages I haven't checked my mails." "Anyone else knows your password?" "No." "Please think, Mr. Bishan." "Your marriage wasn't working out." "Shivangi filed a divorce." "On the other hand you and Nandini were in love." "Again you're..." " Just assuming." "So... when you would come home drunk, who would hold you in her arms and take you to your room?" "Friends, Romans and Countrymen..." "Lend me your ears!" "If you give me an exile, I shall accept with a kiss." "I shall die of drinking poison!" "Who is that person?" "Like I said, I don't remember anything when I am drunk" "Nandini?" "Who knows" "Shivangi too would come sometimes." "I mean, she comes She has come." "I cannot tell you." "Could be Jahnavi too." "Jahnavi..." "Jahnavi!" "Come here" "You are here when I come home drunk, right?" "When I come home drunk, who takes me to my room?" "You, right?" "Forget it." "She does not know anything." "Are you literate?" "10th standard." "Madam used to teach me" "Know English?" "Yes Madam used to teach me sometimes." "Told you, Shivangi took up the responsibility of the entire world." "Barring me" "Madam really... loves me a lot." "You may go now." "You don't feel that kind of pain for your wife?" "She's in coma It's uncertain." "Listen, Mr. Shabor, I've turned into a rock." "Only alcohol makes me feel okay, haven't touched it in two days." "'Pain'!" "Where is your factory?" "You can just pick me up, Mr. Shabor." "But I didn't do it." " I'm paid to figure that out." "Sorry." "Nandini and you were deeply involved." "Shivangi asked for 1.5 crores to divorce you." "You and Nandini decided to kill Shivangi." "According to plan you hired a hit man and went away to Lodhasuli." "Nandini came to know you were with a woman." "She called you up at 1:30 am and threatened you." "Threatened you that she'll disclose something." "You asked the killer to shoot both." "Your educational qualification?" "Sorry';" "Educational qualification." "Mechanical engineer." "That's enough" "Stop disgracing yourself now." "Bye." "Sir." "That night the message was delivered to Shivangi Ray's mobile at 1 am" "'Not coming today, I'll come tomorrow.'" "Who?" " The number is saved as 'J'." "Couldn't find it on any app The number will be traced." "All the knots will open up when Shivangi madam is back from coma" "Feel the rope tightening around your neck?" "You're doing it again." " When was the last time... you slept with Shivangi madam?" "Faint past eh?" "Beginning of last December:" "No, towards its end." "Oh yes, I remember:" "31st December:" "Around 12 am." " You're sure about the time too!" "Year end celebrations were on, Mr. Shabor." "Fire crackers and all." "Bishan, get up" "Get up!" " Who is it?" "You don't know me..." " You think you will finish me?" "Let go of me!" " Please!" "Bishan!" "Leave me!" "Please go out." "Sir." "Wham!" "Come" "Bishan!" "Bishan!" "Tea" "How long have you been staying here?" "Nine years" "Madam took me in" "From where?" "Maa had brought me here" "So you're here since madam got married?" "Mm" "She's no more." "Where are you from?" "Belur, my uncle's house" "No other domestic helps here?" "Madam doesn't like maids staying round the clock." "Sujata comes in the morning, leaves at night." "What sort of a person was Nandini madam?" "What?" "She used to bother Sir a lot." "And your Sir never did anything?" "He's God." "Bye." "And the monitor, Sir?" "Set up a camera in her husband's bedroom to keep an eye on him." "House or a hotel?" "There was once this woman..." "Tell me" "Sir... the SMS that came to Shivangi Ray's phone from the name it came from the maid, Jahnavi Das's phone." "And there's a good news, Sir." "What?" "Quite some time back Shivangi Ray recovered from the coma." "She's out of danger." "You can meet her this evening if you want." "Good." "Make sure, until I reach, no one else should meet her." "Okay?" "Who is it?" "Shabor Dasgupta." "Detective, Lalbazar Headquarters." "Did I kill that man?" "No but you wounded him." "Ohh" "You can surely take action if someone gets into your room, when it is clear the man is not safe." "I tried to fire at the wall." "I believe you." "Are they alright?" "Who?" "Jahnavi..." "Bishan and Nandini?" "How are they?" "Mr. Bishan and Jahnavi are doing good." "Nandini... slightly unnerved." "Hope she is alright?" "The exact occurrence of things that night." "I want details" "I..." "I take sedatives at night." "I lied down." "I was dozing off." "What the crap!" "You sleep with a revolver beside you every night?" "No." "No, I mean.." "I got this weird feeling that night." "Coincidence?" "Fine." "Did the dacoits say anything else that night?" "Yes.." "They were saying something..." "Feeling stressed?" "Your relationship with your husband was a bit complicated probably." "Quite complicated actually." "When he's normal... it is good." "But sometimes.." "The way he behaves!" "And sometimes he just..." "Were Nandini and Bishan..." "Please don't hide anything." "I don't know." "I won't be able to say that." "Jahnavi?" "There was something Nandini knew." "She told Bishan she'll make it public" "Do you know anything about this?" "No." "How was your husband's past life?" "He has been like this ever since we were married." "I cannot tell you anything about him before that." "The last time you shared a physical relationship with your husband?" "Last?" "How do I say that?" " 31st December." "New Year's Eve?" "I cannot remember:" " Try to." "Kolkata is not unsafe enough to carry a revolver around." "Then why the revolver?" "I often travel with a lot of money." "Even outside Kolkata." "That's why." "And this is an old habit." "I believe you for now." "Good day." "Sir, keep walking please!" "Sir, there is a golden Toyota Corolla behind us." "2600." "Bishan Ray's car." "It waited here while you were inside the nursing home." "Sir, what did Shivangi say?" " 'Whatever she could afford to." "The last time she and Bishan.." "She could not remember:" "But she didn't deny it too." "And the revolver?" "Coincidence." "She took it out that very day." "What the crap!" "Wham!" "Sorry, Sir." "Say it again!" " Sorry."" "No, before that." " What the.. crap." "Follow me!" "Sir, let's go." "Yes" "Here I come... opening the door I get into the room" "Shivangi Ray is sleeping on my right." "The closet is on my left." "I reach the closet..." "Keys!" "I take the gun into my left hand." "I open the closet." "And I put my hand in.." "One.. two..." "Nanda!" "Fire!" " What the crap!" "Sir?" "Fire." "How long haven't you drank, Mr. Bishan?" "Five days." " Then you must drink now." "You're lying too much We must know the truth" "As in?" "Nandini Sen's murder or the attack on Shivangi Ray, not a mere dacoity." "Killers were hired to murder Shivangi Ray." "What!" " Don't act dumb" "Either you, Nandini Sen or someone else hired them." "Another thing" "I know your car." "Don't try to follow me like a fool." " I've followed you?" "Where's all this coming from?" " Maybe you haven't." "Now tell me, do you know of anyone who arrived by Singapore Airlines," "in the past two three days?" "Shyamangi?" " Who's she?" "Shyamangi is my," "Sister-in-law." "Sir... where did you find this Shyamangi?" "She was there." "Our ears and eyes are our secret weapons Nanda" "There were three girls till now." "Now a new character:" "And a male character:" " Who is a loose character:" "Beneath the mask of a sophisticated family, jealousy, suspicion, infidelity." " And a married woman" "Yes, that's what you'll obsess about." "Let's start then." ""What the crap!"" "A dacoit... sorry... a murderer says it." "Why did he say it?" " Because he was surprised." "Why was he surprised?" "The one I'm about to kill, will counter." "It's natural." "What is the surprise element in it?" "What, Nanda?" " Sir?" "Why was he surprised?" "" " Because it was sudden."

"Divorce. 1.5 crores of alimony." "All set." "Nandini will die now." "Suddenly!" "Suddenly, the heavenly miracle!" "You discover you are pregnant with Bishan's child." "It happened at the end of December; or beginning." "You fall back in love again." "'With your husband, your home, your baby." "But by then, the killers had been paid." "It would all go in vain!" "You tried your best but couldn't connect to them, because... a couple of days before action they close their whereabouts" "For the first time, you were worried about Bishan." "What if Bishan sees the killers?" "What if they kill him?" "So, for the first time, you call Shatarup Sen and ask him to take Bishan away." "It was his wife who told me, Sir," ""He's not doing fine." "Take him on an outing"" "He's right, Sir." " Yes Sir!" "I know, Sir." "We're filthy, dirty, nasty!" "But we've to deal with men to earn money." "We can always see through them" "It isn't possible for that guy to kill." "Take it from me." "Suddenly Nandini called Bishan and inquired about Lodhasuli." "Also threatened him to publicize something." "And you too were thinking, what if the killers later tell the cops that it was you?" "Then what will happen to your baby, your home?" "So, you decide, it will be flawless if you can kill the hit men!" "On one hand, Nandini is dying" "On the other hand, the dacoity is already planned." "As per that, Bachhu and Victor, enter the room." "Open the closet." "And you take the shot." "They were not expecting this" "So, they too take a shot in reﬂex, surprised!" "You sent Jahnavi the money through Shyamangi, to bail Victor and Bachhu out." "Damage control?" "Bishan should get a chance" "Jahnavi is a kid." "My... My baby!" "My... baby!" "Just because of a.." "Because of... someone's disgusting past... we will all go to jail!" "What Victor and Bachhu told me," "I did not record." "Besides Brajabashi Dutta is a very clever lawyer." "You may survive, if they change their statement." "I love Bishan." "I love him a lot." "I couldn't go on, Mr. Shabor." "I couldn't." "I knew it..." "Nandini was finishing Bishan." "And I wasn't being able to do anything!" "I couldn't stop her." "I could do nothing!" "You don't know." "For the last ten years how I've been trying to protect Bishan!" "You don't know." "No one knows" "No one!" "No one knows!" "You know what my problem is?" "Beyond crime and criminals time and again I see... a story of humanity." "Love." "Jealousy." "G reed." "A story of ﬂesh and blood." "The conscious mind... arrests them" "And the subconscious..." "Take care." "By the way..." "Who is Swapna?" "All that romantic sense... emotion and everything." "I don't have any of it." "A machine!" "That's what the body is." "I'm living like a bloody animal!" "Told you about the woman who seduced me when I was fifteen?" "Day in day out, she... tattered me to pieces!" "I shied away from everyone." "Scared, embarrassed!" "That went on for some years." "For quite some years" "Since then I've been an easy target for women." "What women do with this body is just... play" "Then Baba felt there was something wrong" "Got me married." "I'm 36 now." "The body!" "Mere piece of meat." "Yes, Nandini seduced me too." "Not once." "Many a times" "But I was drunk in all the cases." "And was forced" "And Jahnavi?" "Mr. Shabor, please!" "She's a kid!" "I'm not that much of an animal." "What difference does it make to a machine..." "Damn it!" "Her face reminds me of my daughter." "I had a daughter from that woman" "I was around 17 years of age" "Since then.." "I've always been scared." "After all I'm an animal, right?" "What if among the numerous women, my daughter too..." "What about Jahnavi?" " She came to seduce me too!" "But even in the daze of my fever, I drove her out!" "Trust me, Mr. Shabor, I drove her out!" "I'm just... shattered!" "Just... totally shattered!" "I'm.." "Giving you Dr. Madhurima Sen's number." "Psychiatrist." "Contact her." "Try to... live a life worth living." "And Mr. Bishan, if that woman's name was Swapna, then," "Jahnavi is that daughter of yours." "Soon after your marriage," "Swapna brought a nine year old Jahnavi to this house." "'With the intention to blackmail." "Your newly married wife, Shivangi, to save you from a bad name, brought her up in this house, for the last ten years" "She never told you anything as well." "Nandini, found out somehow." "She was sleeping with you and blackmailing Shivangi, with the help of that." "Then, Shivangi and Nandini together got rid of Jahnavi." "By hiring killers." "Jahnavi... is my daughter?" "Yes!" "And right now, I believe she's standing outside hearing it all." "Life is strange journey." "A myriad of stories waiting at every corner." "Only a bird's eye view, gives you the entire picture." "You know, like seeing from the eyes of the eagle." "Didn't I tell you, you may have to extend your stay?" "Take care of Bishan." "He needs your support." "Sir!" "Arrest warrant." "Shivangi Ray, Jahnavi Das." "Do your duty, Sanjib." "Come on." "I think I need a break now."
