1
00:03:30,100 --> 00:03:30,737
Are you blind?
Want to get killed?

2
00:04:50,733 --> 00:04:52,644
The news is confirmed

3
00:04:58,133 --> 00:05:04,675
<i>Hat Ha: Byomkesh</i>

4
00:05:26,767 --> 00:05:27,905
Take out whatever you have.

5
00:05:28,167 --> 00:05:29,271
Don't utter a word.

6
00:05:29,633 --> 00:05:32,614
I don't have time
Give it to me. Fast.

7
00:05:35,367 --> 00:05:39,076
Let me off or
<i>I'll</i> rip you apart!

8
00:05:52,233 --> 00:05:54,076
Truth can't be stained.

9
00:05:57,833 --> 00:06:01,610
There is no fear.
Purandar Pandey will be at the station.

10
00:06:18,133 --> 00:06:20,909
Good morning
' Please come sir, welcome!

11
00:06:20,967 --> 00:06:23,607
Quite a start brother!
- Absolutely!

12
00:06:24,367 --> 00:06:26,142
Take our honoured guest to the prison.

13
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:27,679
Keep an eye on him till I arrive.

14
00:06:27,733 --> 00:06:29,212
Yes sir, Come along!

15
00:06:30,667 --> 00:06:33,045
Let me introduce you
to Satyabati, my wife.

16
00:06:33,100 --> 00:06:36,172
Welcome sister in law.

17
00:06:36,933 --> 00:06:38,810
And though he doesn't
need to be introduced,

18
00:06:39,167 --> 00:06:42,671
Acclaimed writer...
- Yes, of course, Ajit Bandhopadhyay.

19
00:06:42,967 --> 00:06:44,537
Welcome brother!
' Thank you.

20
00:06:44,867 --> 00:06:47,211
Shivprasad, take the
luggage to the car.

21
00:06:49,267 --> 00:06:51,804
Your novels are also
published in Banaras

22
00:06:51,900 --> 00:06:52,810
Yes, of late

23
00:06:53,167 --> 00:06:54,976
The one named
'Byomkesh, the seeker of truth'...

24
00:06:55,067 --> 00:06:56,978
...is selling a thousand copies

25
00:06:57,033 --> 00:06:57,841
But don't call him a detective

26
00:06:57,933 --> 00:06:59,844
Surely sir.
Not detective, but the seeker of truth.

27
00:06:59,933 --> 00:07:01,344
Remember this is our honeymoon,

28
00:07:01,433 --> 00:07:03,242
The moon isn't up yet, Satya

29
00:07:05,333 --> 00:07:07,836
Benaras is twelve miles
from Mughalsarai.

30
00:07:08,233 --> 00:07:10,270
'What's the state of
affairs in your city?

31
00:07:10,333 --> 00:07:11,937
There's no effect of riots here.

32
00:07:12,367 --> 00:07:15,974
I read in the papers that
Gandhiji is on his way to Noakhali.

33
00:07:16,033 --> 00:07:19,742
That's true but I'm not sure
if that's going to curb the violence.

34
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,279
Rabindranath should
have lived in these times

35
00:07:24,133 --> 00:07:27,740
The city of Banaras is like the
Vatican or the Mecca of all religions.

36
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,406
Christianity prevails in the Vatican,
and Islam at Mecca,

37
00:07:30,467 --> 00:07:33,607
but this city sees people from
twenty seven religions coexisting.

38
00:07:34,733 --> 00:07:38,271
Brother, people here look for
God within themselves.

39
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,473
You get the best sweets here right?

40
00:07:42,700 --> 00:07:44,805
<i>I'll</i> treat you to it all.

41
00:07:47,333 --> 00:07:49,108
Look that's Mother Ganga.

42
00:07:50,300 --> 00:07:52,871
Let's halt here for a
couple of minutes.

43
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,644
Here the river Ganga flows
towards the Northern side

44
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,111
You will be staying there dada

45
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:17,904
Come along,

46
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:21,577
take care Boudi.

47
00:08:38,733 --> 00:08:42,545
(Sanskrit shloka worshipping Lord Shiva)

48
00:09:20,667 --> 00:09:22,840
Isn't it heavenly?
- Absolutely!

49
00:09:24,533 --> 00:09:29,107
Boudi, on the other side lies
the temple of Kashi Viswanath.

50
00:09:30,233 --> 00:09:31,769
I will take you there of course

51
00:09:31,867 --> 00:09:33,710
There that side.

52
00:09:45,367 --> 00:09:46,937
Good morning

53
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:49,770
Good morning

54
00:09:49,833 --> 00:09:51,710
You look delightful this morning.

55
00:09:57,700 --> 00:10:00,237
It's because your health has improved.

56
00:10:03,033 --> 00:10:04,569
Should I prepare tea?

57
00:10:11,433 --> 00:10:13,413
The inner room is mine!

58
00:10:13,467 --> 00:10:15,504
It has a writing desk.

59
00:10:17,433 --> 00:10:19,435
It seems like someone lives here.

60
00:10:20,067 --> 00:10:22,946
This is my paternal brother,
Brijhbanji's bungalow.

61
00:10:23,900 --> 00:10:26,779
He is a professor at the Kashi University.

62
00:10:27,167 --> 00:10:29,147
He visits occasionally.

63
00:10:29,667 --> 00:10:31,669
He lives within the university campus.

64
00:10:31,767 --> 00:10:33,769
I told him my friend is
visiting with his family.

65
00:10:33,833 --> 00:10:37,440
They'll be staying for a few days,
come on in Mrityunjay.

66
00:10:37,500 --> 00:10:38,979
This is Mrityunjay.
' Greetings sir.

67
00:10:39,033 --> 00:10:41,343
He will take care of you all.

68
00:10:42,700 --> 00:10:45,544
Alright then Boudi,
get settled now,

69
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,409
but do eat lunch at my house
in the afternoon

70
00:10:47,867 --> 00:10:50,006
Please don't bother.

71
00:10:50,067 --> 00:10:51,603
What are you saying Boudi,

72
00:10:51,700 --> 00:10:54,271
the whole of Banaras will be ashamed
if I don't take care of dada

73
00:10:54,367 --> 00:10:57,871
And the shaming of Benaras
would shame me too.

74
00:10:58,233 --> 00:11:00,440
<i>I'll</i> take your leave now.
Bye.

75
00:11:03,233 --> 00:11:05,543
<i>I'll</i> send the car to pick you up
' Thank you.

76
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:06,738
Look, have you seen this?

77
00:11:08,467 --> 00:11:10,504
Wonderful, let me take a look.

78
00:11:11,133 --> 00:11:12,305
He's not interested.

79
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,011
'Thief of paintings?'

80
00:11:15,733 --> 00:11:18,771
Doctor Palit outdid himself...

81
00:11:23,733 --> 00:11:26,646
but it's all because of you

82
00:11:30,500 --> 00:11:33,743
Had you not been there,

83
00:11:35,733 --> 00:11:38,270
I'd have never recovered.

84
00:11:39,633 --> 00:11:41,635
How can I reward you?

85
00:11:42,300 --> 00:11:46,112
'What's the hurry?
I'm not running away.

86
00:11:49,667 --> 00:11:51,669
Please Shakuntala

87
00:11:53,033 --> 00:11:54,512
Can I say something?

88
00:11:59,367 --> 00:12:00,368
Of course

89
00:12:06,167 --> 00:12:09,410
There's something strange
about Chandni's behaviour.

90
00:12:10,867 --> 00:12:13,347
I heard something last night...

91
00:12:14,867 --> 00:12:16,847
and witnessed it too.

92
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,609
This is perfect.

93
00:12:23,100 --> 00:12:25,478
<i>I'll</i> visit the temple of Viswanath,

94
00:12:25,833 --> 00:12:27,403
buy the local sweets,

95
00:12:28,067 --> 00:12:31,276
and of course the Banarasi sarees
and the sweet pan masala,

96
00:12:31,833 --> 00:12:36,441
do you know artefacts from Kashi
are world famous.

97
00:12:36,500 --> 00:12:38,639
Let Ajit buy that for you.

98
00:12:39,500 --> 00:12:42,709
'Why are you so immersed in a book
by such a terrible person?

99
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:47,306
Look how he's perched upon the bed
with those dirty train clothes

100
00:12:47,867 --> 00:12:54,079
A person who initiated a
world war cannot be ignored, Satya.

101
00:12:55,233 --> 00:12:56,268
Satya.

102
00:12:57,033 --> 00:13:01,209
Varanasi was named after two
ancient rivers Varuna and Asi...

103
00:13:01,533 --> 00:13:06,812
Mythology says Brahmha's strict tapasya...

104
00:13:10,933 --> 00:13:17,179
Listen, <i>I'll-I'll</i> have to go out,
I've run out of matches

105
00:13:31,500 --> 00:13:36,500
(Verses from Geet Gobindam
On lord Krishna and Radha's love affair.)

106
00:14:16,700 --> 00:14:21,700
How do I persuade my angry beloved, 0 Lord

107
00:14:38,467 --> 00:14:46,318
How do I go to his door?

108
00:14:51,433 --> 00:14:56,433
Evening and morn pass without his message

109
00:15:29,033 --> 00:15:34,033
After making me dream, he still stays away

110
00:15:55,067 --> 00:15:59,243
How do I go to his door?

111
00:16:01,933 --> 00:16:04,345
'What have you done?
This is almost a feast.

112
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:06,172
All vegetarian

113
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,609
Please begin Boudi,

114
00:16:10,233 --> 00:16:13,146
at night we'll prepare 'Bati Chokha'

115
00:16:13,633 --> 00:16:14,668
'What's that?

116
00:16:14,733 --> 00:16:17,714
A dough stuffed with
roasted gram flour, burnt brinjal,

117
00:16:17,767 --> 00:16:20,043
lentils, rice and a sweet 'meni'

118
00:16:21,067 --> 00:16:22,944
What we call 'mriti'

119
00:16:23,367 --> 00:16:24,937
Yes, the same thing

120
00:16:25,233 --> 00:16:26,871
We call it 'meni'

121
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,579
Dada, you say Banaras is peaceful.

122
00:16:32,567 --> 00:16:36,709
But life has become
difficult for the police.

123
00:16:41,433 --> 00:16:43,174
I'm sure ' After the world war,

124
00:16:43,267 --> 00:16:47,613
there has been a rapid
increase in criminals.

125
00:16:47,833 --> 00:16:48,641
How?

126
00:16:48,700 --> 00:16:55,276
It's appalling how drugs were smuggled
here by the foreigners during the war.

127
00:16:56,833 --> 00:17:00,406
A thief was caught last month
in front of Manwlandir.

128
00:17:00,500 --> 00:17:02,741
They procured such
a big bottle of poison.

129
00:17:02,833 --> 00:17:04,676
Do you know where it's
being smuggled from?

130
00:17:04,733 --> 00:17:06,041
South America

131
00:17:08,300 --> 00:17:09,278
Curare

132
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,040
Yes, it's a deadly poison.

133
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:18,309
What would you do with
the poison now than...

134
00:17:18,967 --> 00:17:21,277
Where would we get a
good Banarasi sari shop?

135
00:17:21,333 --> 00:17:24,780
All in due time
My men will take you around.

136
00:17:25,300 --> 00:17:27,405
Give them some curd Rukmani.

137
00:17:38,367 --> 00:17:43,646
The worst thing the British did was
to sow the seeds of Divide and Rule

138
00:17:44,433 --> 00:17:46,913
Yes, Ratikant, please come

139
00:17:46,967 --> 00:17:48,446
What brings you here?

140
00:17:49,233 --> 00:17:53,841
An invitation sir.
' Oh wow! You're getting married!

141
00:17:53,900 --> 00:17:56,312
My luck has never been so good sir.

142
00:18:01,967 --> 00:18:05,005
Mr. Deepnarayan has recovered, is it?

143
00:18:06,100 --> 00:18:08,979
There is a party being thrown
to celebrate his health.

144
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,375
Please pardon me.

145
00:18:11,667 --> 00:18:13,772
I won't be able to make it.
' Why?

146
00:18:13,833 --> 00:18:17,303
My friends have come from Kolkata,

147
00:18:17,733 --> 00:18:21,237
and I've promised to
treat them to 'bani Chokha'.

148
00:18:21,333 --> 00:18:23,813
We can do that another time, isn't it?
'Certainly not.

149
00:18:23,867 --> 00:18:26,404
He will inform Mr. Deepnararyan.

150
00:18:26,500 --> 00:18:30,107
Please apologise on my behalf.

151
00:18:31,133 --> 00:18:32,168
Very Well.

152
00:18:37,900 --> 00:18:40,574
The police sure are under
a lot of pressure Pandey.

153
00:18:40,633 --> 00:18:41,634
I can see that too.

154
00:18:41,733 --> 00:18:43,974
The police now are delivering
the invitations of the rich!

155
00:18:44,033 --> 00:18:45,637
Not really.

156
00:18:45,833 --> 00:18:49,110
Ratikant and Deepnarayan's wife
are from the same village.

157
00:18:49,367 --> 00:18:50,607
Pratapgarh
- Oh!

158
00:18:50,933 --> 00:18:53,345
So that makes them relatives.

159
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,176
Besides, Deepnarayan
being very rich,

160
00:18:56,467 --> 00:19:00,005
might become a minister
after Independence

161
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:02,308
Hence he's flattering him.

162
00:19:02,367 --> 00:19:05,576
Who is Deepnarayan?

163
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,879
He's a well known
zamindar of Benaras.

164
00:19:10,533 --> 00:19:13,571
His earnings would be
10 lakhs of rupees yearly.

165
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:15,902
What are you saying?
- Yes.

166
00:19:18,833 --> 00:19:25,614
But he's what you'd call a twisted person

167
00:19:25,667 --> 00:19:28,477
When has a zamindar
ever been a simpleton?

168
00:19:29,333 --> 00:19:31,677
You're absolutely correct dada

169
00:19:32,033 --> 00:19:36,004
He's made a grave error at this age

170
00:19:37,500 --> 00:19:40,970
'Frail old horse with a shining harness.'

171
00:19:44,067 --> 00:19:46,547
Young wife of an old man

172
00:19:47,100 --> 00:19:47,874
Absolutely!

173
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:54,710
His wife hails from his
native land, Pratapgarh.

174
00:19:56,300 --> 00:19:58,746
Their marriage is an imposed one.

175
00:19:59,267 --> 00:20:03,215
He is fifty and she's only twenty five.

176
00:20:05,633 --> 00:20:08,910
But she is as pretty as an angel

177
00:20:09,133 --> 00:20:10,476
Are they only two?
Relatives?

178
00:20:10,533 --> 00:20:13,309
They have a nephew, utterly dumb.

179
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:18,514
It's been two years since
Deepnarayan's first wife died.

180
00:20:19,367 --> 00:20:22,814
There are no children to
look after the property-

181
00:20:23,367 --> 00:20:25,745
Hence the clan must be
prevented from extinction.

182
00:20:25,833 --> 00:20:27,335
Ah, don't forget his age.

183
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:31,246
His young wife's name is
Shakuntala Singh.

184
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:33,338
Perfect image of the modern woman.

185
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:38,247
Horse riding, hunting...
she has grand hobbies.

186
00:20:38,567 --> 00:20:41,275
Noted aristocrats gather
to talk at their palace,

187
00:20:41,333 --> 00:20:43,779
all being her admirers.

188
00:20:44,900 --> 00:20:46,641
There you are.

189
00:20:48,167 --> 00:20:49,009
How was your ride?

190
00:20:49,100 --> 00:20:50,738
It was good.
' Good?

191
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:52,835
Thank you.

192
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,105
Good morning
' Good morning.

193
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:57,670
Thank you.

194
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,043
Shall I give you a cup of tea?
'Yes.

195
00:21:08,033 --> 00:21:11,139
He had a bad liver.
It made him suffer greatly.

196
00:21:11,567 --> 00:21:13,171
Now I hear he's recovered.

197
00:21:13,833 --> 00:21:16,575
Tonight's party must be
in celebration of that.

198
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,438
I'm sure 'rudri' has already begun
since the morning

199
00:21:20,533 --> 00:21:21,409
What's 'rudri'?

200
00:22:05,933 --> 00:22:09,642
We stop here.
The lane next is 'Kachori guli',

201
00:22:09,733 --> 00:22:12,339
and the one next to
it is where you're staying

202
00:22:12,433 --> 00:22:14,606
We'll take your leave then, Bye

203
00:22:18,467 --> 00:22:20,105
We meet in the evening!

204
00:22:20,733 --> 00:22:24,271
They say it's extremely fortunate
to die in Banaras.

205
00:22:24,333 --> 00:22:26,040
Leads you straight to heaven.

206
00:22:26,133 --> 00:22:28,044
Bypassing rebirth.

207
00:22:29,233 --> 00:22:31,839
That's what I've been thinking.
' What?

208
00:22:32,167 --> 00:22:34,169
If I should make good use
of the opportunity.

209
00:22:34,233 --> 00:22:35,803
Stop joking!

210
00:22:35,867 --> 00:22:38,108
Don't create trouble here

211
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,705
Troubles need no spur.

212
00:22:40,767 --> 00:22:44,613
They resemble boils. They burst
out without the slightest provocation

213
00:22:52,300 --> 00:22:57,181
We forgot to tell Pandeyji
that you cant do without curd at night.

214
00:22:57,367 --> 00:23:00,473
Don't worry.
The 'bani chokha' will suffice.

215
00:23:00,767 --> 00:23:01,711
Where's Mister writer?

216
00:23:01,867 --> 00:23:04,177
I'm thinking of ways to attain 'Moksha'.

217
00:23:04,233 --> 00:23:05,974
That'll be through marriage.

218
00:23:07,867 --> 00:23:10,973
Not sure if marriage brings
bliss or blissful ruin.

219
00:23:13,100 --> 00:23:14,238
'What did you say?

220
00:23:15,433 --> 00:23:16,468
Say it again

221
00:23:17,233 --> 00:23:19,679
Tell me what's
'smaragaral' before that.

222
00:23:20,133 --> 00:23:22,010
What about 'smaragaral'?

223
00:23:22,100 --> 00:23:25,343
You're reading the 'Gee! Gobindam' so
religiously, now tell me the meaning.

224
00:23:26,367 --> 00:23:27,038
Well,

225
00:23:27,733 --> 00:23:33,775
'Smara' means lust and
'garal' means poison

226
00:23:37,333 --> 00:23:39,404
Your progress is commendable!

227
00:23:52,267 --> 00:23:54,873
Yes Dada,
This is Pandeyji speaking

228
00:23:54,933 --> 00:23:56,207
Oh tell me Pandeyji.

229
00:23:56,267 --> 00:23:58,747
Mister Deepnarayan has requested
you to come for dinner.

230
00:23:58,833 --> 00:24:00,369
All invited.

231
00:24:00,867 --> 00:24:03,609
But why us?

232
00:24:03,867 --> 00:24:06,609
He heard I declined the
invitation as I had guests.

233
00:24:06,700 --> 00:24:09,772
And my guests are the
guests of Banaras too!

234
00:24:09,833 --> 00:24:13,371
I'm coming to pick you in fifteen minutes?
- Very well.

235
00:24:14,633 --> 00:24:17,341
Let's get going,
to the Palace of the Kings

236
00:24:17,433 --> 00:24:18,935
Palace of the kings?

237
00:24:19,967 --> 00:24:22,470
Fifteen minutes is all we have!

238
00:24:33,734 --> 00:24:35,873
Does the police have
special duty tonight?

239
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,638
I have an invitation for sure.

240
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:39,705
Really?

241
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,347
Your work must be over
at the headquarters then.

242
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:51,970
Narmada Shankar.

243
00:24:52,300 --> 00:24:55,076
'A spoilt brat and a raging bull',

244
00:24:55,133 --> 00:24:59,604
you understand, Boudi,
is a dangerous combination.

245
00:24:59,967 --> 00:25:00,604
Come

246
00:25:02,700 --> 00:25:03,337
Come

247
00:25:16,567 --> 00:25:20,538
The rains have come,

248
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:24,377
dear friend, the rains have come

249
00:25:25,767 --> 00:25:29,738
The rains have come,

250
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:33,577
dear friend, the rains have come

251
00:25:34,267 --> 00:25:39,808
Look how my stole is drenched

252
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,777
The rains have come.

253
00:25:52,967 --> 00:25:56,915
The rains have come,

254
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,914
dear friend, the rains have come

255
00:26:20,433 --> 00:26:24,745
The frog is drenched, the crickets too

256
00:26:25,033 --> 00:26:29,743
The drops fall on the flowers

257
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:34,112
The frog is drenched, the crickets too

258
00:26:34,167 --> 00:26:38,843
The drops fall on the flowers

259
00:26:38,900 --> 00:26:44,509
While the drops from my eyes

260
00:26:47,867 --> 00:26:52,282
Drench my heart

261
00:26:52,367 --> 00:26:56,315
The rains have come,

262
00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:00,143
dear friend, the rains have come

263
00:27:28,933 --> 00:27:33,075
The lightning booms and crackles

264
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:37,109
And the beloved falters

265
00:27:38,067 --> 00:27:42,209
The lightning booms and crackles

266
00:27:42,500 --> 00:27:47,074
And the beloved falters

267
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:51,740
Now my nights never end

268
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:55,509
The rains have come

269
00:27:55,567 --> 00:27:59,538
Yes the rains have come.

270
00:28:00,833 --> 00:28:04,645
The rains have come,

271
00:28:04,700 --> 00:28:08,512
dear friend, the rains have come

272
00:28:09,867 --> 00:28:17,945
The rains, the rains, the rains have come

273
00:28:18,433 --> 00:28:22,381
Yes, the rains have come

274
00:28:32,267 --> 00:28:36,477
Dear friend, the rains have come

275
00:28:48,433 --> 00:28:49,070
This way.

276
00:28:51,433 --> 00:28:53,504
Greetings Mister Deepnarayan

277
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:55,074
Greetings

278
00:28:55,300 --> 00:28:56,210
Congratulations

279
00:28:57,434 --> 00:28:59,971
Must say you're blessed with along life.

280
00:29:00,267 --> 00:29:03,612
I had left all hopes of
survival Pandeyji,

281
00:29:03,667 --> 00:29:05,977
it's Doctor Palit who
gifted this life back to me.

282
00:29:06,067 --> 00:29:07,102
Meet my doctor.

283
00:29:08,767 --> 00:29:10,769
Doctor Palit?
' Palit, you are -

284
00:29:11,100 --> 00:29:12,636
Bengali, Pannalal Palit.

285
00:29:13,333 --> 00:29:15,006
What a coincidence!

286
00:29:15,533 --> 00:29:17,342
This is a very old friend of mine,

287
00:29:17,567 --> 00:29:18,773
Byomkesh Bakshi.

288
00:29:18,833 --> 00:29:19,811
'Wish you good health sir.

289
00:29:19,867 --> 00:29:21,369
Very glad to meet you.

290
00:29:21,534 --> 00:29:23,343
This Mister is a writer,

291
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,380
Ajit Bandopadhyay.
' Greetings!

292
00:29:25,433 --> 00:29:27,003
And that is my dear sister in law.

293
00:29:27,067 --> 00:29:28,307
Satyabati.
' Greetings to you.

294
00:29:28,367 --> 00:29:29,675
Greetings

295
00:29:30,833 --> 00:29:34,246
Please make yourselves
comfortable Mr. Bakshi,

296
00:29:34,467 --> 00:29:36,276
<i>I'll</i> be back soon.

297
00:29:39,067 --> 00:29:40,705
'What's happening in Kolkata?

298
00:29:40,967 --> 00:29:42,810
Have the riots ceased?

299
00:29:43,267 --> 00:29:44,575
Not really,

300
00:29:44,733 --> 00:29:46,804
I mean the place I live in,
Harrison Road,

301
00:29:46,900 --> 00:29:49,073
is quieter but riots are still on

302
00:29:50,067 --> 00:29:50,772
It's a shame.

303
00:29:51,133 --> 00:29:53,511
At what cost must we
get our independence!

304
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,079
Greetings
so glad to meet you sir.

305
00:29:56,100 --> 00:29:57,636
How have you been?

306
00:29:58,234 --> 00:30:00,680
Did he not have a bad liver?

307
00:30:02,733 --> 00:30:04,770
Look what he's up to!

308
00:30:05,333 --> 00:30:13,081
Doctor Jagannath Prasad
took care of him till his liver was damaged.

309
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,740
Then Shakuntala Devi summoned me

310
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:20,509
Because of my injections,
his health improved.

311
00:30:20,700 --> 00:30:22,737
Who can possibly question a king!

312
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,974
You are late Doctor Prasad-

313
00:30:26,067 --> 00:30:29,446
On purpose sir, to evade the
thousand praises of Doctor Palit.

314
00:30:29,500 --> 00:30:34,347
So much anger in spite of belonging
to the young generation?

315
00:30:34,833 --> 00:30:38,576
Because I do, I don't heed the
archaic methods of old,

316
00:30:38,867 --> 00:30:41,711
especially if it's a Bengali doctor.

317
00:30:43,533 --> 00:30:45,809
This is...
' Byomkesh Bakshi.

318
00:30:45,867 --> 00:30:48,211
A friend of Purandar Pandey's
A Bengali.

319
00:30:48,267 --> 00:30:50,747
And this is Doctor Jaganath Prasad.

320
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,641
Is your anger directed
towards all Bengalis

321
00:30:53,700 --> 00:30:55,805
or there's a particular reason-

322
00:30:56,134 --> 00:31:00,708
I had almost got him cured,
when Palit came and took over.

323
00:31:00,767 --> 00:31:02,542
My work, credited to him.

324
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:03,544
Drink?

325
00:31:07,100 --> 00:31:10,547
Jogiya,
get some alcohol for sir.

326
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:15,001
Sorry.

327
00:31:16,534 --> 00:31:21,074
Debnarayan, my mate,
you won't inherit a thing,

328
00:31:23,300 --> 00:31:26,474
your uncle will usurp everything

329
00:31:26,667 --> 00:31:28,840
Just like he got Shakuntala
out of the blue,

330
00:31:28,900 --> 00:31:31,710
he'll get you drowned in
the vast blue Ganges too.

331
00:31:34,067 --> 00:31:38,516
Keep it low!
You'll get us killed!

332
00:31:38,867 --> 00:31:40,175
What is left?

333
00:31:40,467 --> 00:31:43,539
He gets him drunk in the
company of these dancers,

334
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,877
Heed what I say 0 king,
it's all planned by him.

335
00:31:46,933 --> 00:31:48,241
Let it be

336
00:31:49,267 --> 00:31:52,248
Don't delay,

337
00:31:53,167 --> 00:31:56,910
get all the land and property
transferred to your name.

338
00:32:06,867 --> 00:32:09,006
Don't get wasted

339
00:32:09,367 --> 00:32:13,179
Teach him a lesson.

340
00:32:13,233 --> 00:32:14,541
Let's do away with him.

341
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:18,013
Who needs such an uncle anyway?

342
00:32:19,267 --> 00:32:21,213
Cheers!

343
00:32:24,700 --> 00:32:26,111
Gangadhar!

344
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,578
I apologise my lord,
<i>I'll</i> look into this

345
00:32:33,834 --> 00:32:35,939
Isn't it breathtakingly beautiful?

346
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,672
Look, this is a painting by Shakuntala Devi.

347
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,276
It bears a lot of Ravi Verma's
influence though.

348
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,781
I hope everything's alright brother.

349
00:32:45,833 --> 00:32:47,938
Of course, it's all very grand.

350
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,537
Grandness of the rich landlords.

351
00:32:51,533 --> 00:32:52,511
Is it confirmed?

352
00:32:52,900 --> 00:32:53,970
No, not yet.

353
00:32:54,033 --> 00:32:56,877
That's Doctor Manna,
Shakuntala's doctor.

354
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,004
That lady is a doctor?

355
00:32:59,334 --> 00:33:00,005
PandeY ii:

356
00:33:00,767 --> 00:33:03,509
Ratikant can be seen nowhere.

357
00:33:03,633 --> 00:33:05,613
He must be still on duty.

358
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:07,670
Mister!

359
00:33:09,067 --> 00:33:10,978
I'm seeing you after ages.

360
00:33:11,167 --> 00:33:14,376
Look, this is painted by
Shakuntala Devi.

361
00:33:16,233 --> 00:33:18,577
What does this grand
show mean to you?

362
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:23,145
It's all a play of power and lust.

363
00:33:27,533 --> 00:33:28,671
Chandni?

364
00:33:38,833 --> 00:33:40,039
Shakuntala?

365
00:33:46,700 --> 00:33:48,543
You look very beautiful.

366
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:49,670
Thank you.

367
00:33:50,033 --> 00:33:53,571
That's Shakuntala Singh.
Deepnarayan Singh's wife

368
00:33:56,900 --> 00:33:58,311
And that is Chandni.

369
00:34:00,367 --> 00:34:02,005
The wife of Debnarayan

370
00:34:06,367 --> 00:34:08,040
He is a friend of Pandeyji.

371
00:34:08,134 --> 00:34:09,442
He's visiting from Kolkata.

372
00:34:09,500 --> 00:34:10,535
Byomkesh Bakshi.

373
00:34:12,700 --> 00:34:13,337
Wow.

374
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:15,445
You are very beautiful.

375
00:34:16,300 --> 00:34:17,074
Thank you very much.

376
00:34:17,167 --> 00:34:19,147
Please come. Dinner is served.

377
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:20,874
Did you notice the ring?

378
00:34:20,934 --> 00:34:22,572
Are you hinting at him
being king Dushyant?

379
00:35:09,367 --> 00:35:10,903
Thank you.
- My pleasure

380
00:35:11,034 --> 00:35:13,571
Finally you arrive,
what took you so long?

381
00:35:13,634 --> 00:35:15,944
There has been a theft sir.
- Where?

382
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:17,240
At the dispensary sir.

383
00:35:17,967 --> 00:35:19,378
Is Doctor Palit here?

384
00:35:19,433 --> 00:35:23,404
Theft?
'Yes everything is a mess now.

385
00:35:23,467 --> 00:35:24,741
There he is

386
00:35:25,500 --> 00:35:28,674
Doctor Palit please go to
your dispensary immediately.

387
00:35:28,767 --> 00:35:30,178
There has been a theft.

388
00:35:30,267 --> 00:35:31,473
My men are keeping guard,

389
00:35:31,534 --> 00:35:33,605
but you must make a list of things
that have gone amiss.

390
00:35:33,667 --> 00:35:35,806
What nonsense is this?
' Doctor Palit!

391
00:35:37,867 --> 00:35:39,904
Does Doctor Palit fend himself well?

392
00:35:40,233 --> 00:35:43,476
Well... He's a good doctor but...

393
00:35:44,367 --> 00:35:49,043
Breaking news!
The Bengali doctor just got robbed!

394
00:35:49,434 --> 00:35:51,675
This fatso is getting my
blood boiled up.

395
00:35:51,734 --> 00:35:52,576
Calm down Ajit.

396
00:35:52,634 --> 00:35:53,408
Pathetic guy.

397
00:35:53,900 --> 00:35:56,278
Dacoit in the garb of a doctor.

398
00:35:56,634 --> 00:36:00,377
I apologise brother,
but he and Palit just don't get along.

399
00:36:00,967 --> 00:36:02,310
I can see that.

400
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:03,936
Come on.
The car is parked that side.

401
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:04,774
Pandeyjis

402
00:36:04,834 --> 00:36:07,405
we'll figure out the way,
we want to walk back, right?

403
00:36:07,467 --> 00:36:08,844
Yes, excellent proposition.

404
00:36:08,934 --> 00:36:10,311
Sure?
' Sure

405
00:36:10,867 --> 00:36:11,845
Goodnight.

406
00:36:12,100 --> 00:36:12,908
Come on Satya,

407
00:36:13,567 --> 00:36:14,045
let's leave.

408
00:36:16,834 --> 00:36:18,814
There's something very
dark about this city.

409
00:36:18,867 --> 00:36:20,346
Steeped in the myths of History.

410
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:21,470
Thrilling to even think.

411
00:36:21,534 --> 00:36:22,342
Hey, look!

412
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:23,504
Do you see what's
happening here?

413
00:36:23,567 --> 00:36:25,843
The oldest trades of the land

414
00:36:25,900 --> 00:36:27,072
You and I can do nothing about it.

415
00:36:27,167 --> 00:36:28,202
Don't look that way.
- Let's leave

416
00:36:28,267 --> 00:36:29,177
Hurry UP!

417
00:36:35,967 --> 00:36:37,571
Go ahead, I'll join in.

418
00:36:37,634 --> 00:36:38,704
Come on.

419
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:35,778
Hello.

420
00:37:42,734 --> 00:37:45,180
Hmm <i>I'll</i> be there.

421
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,276
Wake up, we've got to go.

422
00:38:06,467 --> 00:38:09,141
What has happened?
Where are we rushing to?

423
00:38:10,034 --> 00:38:11,809
Hey! Come on.

424
00:38:16,534 --> 00:38:17,706
Singh's Palace, fast!

425
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:19,040
'Will you tell me what happened?

426
00:38:19,134 --> 00:38:20,204
Deepnarayan Singh

427
00:38:20,300 --> 00:38:21,506
No more

428
00:38:46,834 --> 00:38:49,371
Like every other Sunday,

429
00:38:49,900 --> 00:38:53,438
I came to give his injection on time..

430
00:38:55,300 --> 00:39:00,272
Good morning Greetings!
Please take a seat.

431
00:39:00,534 --> 00:39:02,946
Your injection is due.
' Oh yes.

432
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:07,380
I hope you've eaten something
- Yes, you must eat breakfast first.

433
00:39:07,467 --> 00:39:09,174
Jogiya, tend to sir.

434
00:39:09,234 --> 00:39:12,841
No, I must first deliver my duties

435
00:39:14,100 --> 00:39:17,673
Sir I'm the one indebted to you,

436
00:39:17,734 --> 00:39:20,715
you did what no one else could.

437
00:39:23,634 --> 00:39:29,983
<i>I'll</i> compensate for the loss you had
to incur at the dispensary.

438
00:39:30,900 --> 00:39:33,141
Just a few annas and six
rupees have gone..

439
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:36,272
...apart from the glass.

440
00:39:36,334 --> 00:39:38,610
Nothing much.
Your sleeves,

441
00:39:40,100 --> 00:39:41,875
One more thing,

442
00:39:41,967 --> 00:39:45,779
Doctor Jagannath Prasad's
behaviour is unacceptable,

443
00:39:45,834 --> 00:39:49,748
I sincerely apologise for that.

444
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,904
If I'm alive today,
it's because of you.

445
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:59,871
Honestly, Singhji,
I've never lusted for money

446
00:40:00,534 --> 00:40:03,708
I've only been concerned
about my patients.

447
00:40:03,767 --> 00:40:07,214
It doesn't matter what
Doctor Prasad says-

448
00:40:08,634 --> 00:40:10,477
Singhji, get up Singhji!

449
00:40:10,567 --> 00:40:11,807
Jogiya!

450
00:40:17,867 --> 00:40:21,007
Uncle! Jogiya!

451
00:40:21,100 --> 00:40:25,480
First I suspected it to be
an anaphylactic shock,

452
00:40:26,034 --> 00:40:30,346
but now I fear it was poison.

453
00:40:31,767 --> 00:40:34,304
Could it be Curare?
' What?

454
00:40:36,167 --> 00:40:37,805
Curare?
' Hmm

455
00:40:38,834 --> 00:40:43,078
Well, yes, could be, a post mortem..

456
00:40:43,134 --> 00:40:45,512
Traces could be found in the kidneys
'Yes.

457
00:40:46,700 --> 00:40:48,145
Don't be surprised Ratikant.

458
00:40:48,234 --> 00:40:50,737
He is Byomkesh Bakshi.

459
00:40:51,100 --> 00:40:53,080
Byomkesh Bakshi?

460
00:40:54,167 --> 00:40:56,147
Yes of course,
I've read the mystery of the 'Thief of

461
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:58,271
'Thief of paintings'!
'Yes!

462
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,906
You're sending the vial to the
forensic department right?

463
00:41:01,967 --> 00:41:06,473
Only last evening I injected
another patient from the same vial.

464
00:41:06,534 --> 00:41:08,775
He is very much alive!

465
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,173
The vial remains in your bag.
- Yes.

466
00:41:11,334 --> 00:41:13,007
And you keep your bag
in the dispensary.

467
00:41:13,067 --> 00:41:16,480
Yes, one at home,
and other at the dispe...

468
00:41:20,367 --> 00:41:23,211
You mean the vial has
been changed?

469
00:41:23,267 --> 00:41:25,269
What do you think Doctor Palit?

470
00:41:25,367 --> 00:41:29,645
The door to your dispensary was
shattered for a few coins?

471
00:41:29,734 --> 00:41:34,706
Who else knew that you come
every Sunday to give him his injection?

472
00:41:35,067 --> 00:41:42,417
I've been giving him injections
every Sunday for the last five months.

473
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:44,079
The whole of Banaras knows

474
00:41:44,134 --> 00:41:46,375
Yes, even I got to know
about it last night.

475
00:41:46,467 --> 00:41:49,380
Which means under the garb of theft,

476
00:41:49,467 --> 00:41:51,845
the real intention was to
change the vial

477
00:41:51,900 --> 00:41:55,370
with the hope of inserting
a few drops of Curare in it.

478
00:41:55,434 --> 00:41:58,881
Is Shakuntala Devi alright?
- She is a bit unwell.

479
00:41:58,934 --> 00:42:00,641
Doctor Manna is tending to her.

480
00:42:00,700 --> 00:42:07,709
I must visit her though I don't know
how to console her.

481
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,542
Here is Doctor Manna,

482
00:42:15,934 --> 00:42:18,312
how is Shakuntala Devi?

483
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:24,009
My doubts were rightly placed.
It's confirmed

484
00:42:25,100 --> 00:42:27,546
I'm taking care of her.

485
00:42:42,367 --> 00:42:45,576
Doctor Manna just confirmed,

486
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:50,274
Shakuntala Devi is pregnant.

487
00:42:51,034 --> 00:42:52,707
The body is being sent
for post mortem

488
00:42:52,767 --> 00:42:53,438
Alright.

489
00:42:54,134 --> 00:42:58,549
It was me who gave him the injection

490
00:42:59,767 --> 00:43:01,838
If you want you can arrest me.

491
00:43:01,933 --> 00:43:03,606
Let us get the report.
- Pardon me

492
00:43:03,667 --> 00:43:05,442
Let's verify the post
mortem report first.

493
00:43:05,500 --> 00:43:09,277
Oh, <i>I'll</i> take your leave then.

494
00:43:09,334 --> 00:43:11,109
This way sir.

495
00:43:19,934 --> 00:43:21,140
Go.

496
00:43:26,467 --> 00:43:31,212
Let's get some tea
'Yes sure.

497
00:43:37,934 --> 00:43:39,709
Greetings!

498
00:43:39,767 --> 00:43:42,441
What are you doing here early
in the morning Doctor?

499
00:43:42,500 --> 00:43:45,640
I was just passing by, thought I'd stop by
and enquire about Deepnarayanji's health.

500
00:43:45,700 --> 00:43:48,613
You must be well aware,
or are you not?

501
00:43:48,667 --> 00:43:50,510
Then I've received
absolutely accurate news.

502
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:52,841
The Bengali doctor got him killed!

503
00:43:52,900 --> 00:43:54,538
<i>I'll</i> see for myself.

504
00:43:54,634 --> 00:43:56,511
Doctor Prasad you're not
allowed inside.

505
00:43:56,567 --> 00:43:58,012
An enquiry is going on inside.

506
00:43:58,067 --> 00:44:01,640
So you too have joined hands
with the band of Bengalis, huh?

507
00:44:01,700 --> 00:44:05,170
But while choosing a Doctor don't ever
rely on a Bengali, alright?

508
00:44:05,234 --> 00:44:08,078
Look how he flung him
out of this world!

509
00:44:08,567 --> 00:44:09,602
<i>I'll</i> see you later,

510
00:44:10,067 --> 00:44:11,171
poor Deepnarayan,

511
00:44:11,234 --> 00:44:12,235
may he rest in peace.

512
00:44:15,100 --> 00:44:16,977
I feel sorry for Doctor Palit.

513
00:44:17,067 --> 00:44:19,707
Well, you never know.

514
00:44:22,900 --> 00:44:24,504
So how does it stand?

515
00:44:24,767 --> 00:44:25,973
It's a case of murder.

516
00:44:26,034 --> 00:44:28,310
Had it not been for the
attack in the dispensary,

517
00:44:28,367 --> 00:44:29,846
it could pass off as an accident.

518
00:44:31,267 --> 00:44:33,008
But what could be the motive?

519
00:44:34,534 --> 00:44:36,775
Now that Deepnarayan is no more,

520
00:44:37,700 --> 00:44:39,680
the property belongs to Debnarayan

521
00:44:40,167 --> 00:44:43,580
Did Debnarayan know that
Deepnarayan was about to be a father?

522
00:44:43,667 --> 00:44:45,044
Perhaps not,

523
00:44:45,334 --> 00:44:48,372
but I've heard that Deepnarayan
would keep Debnarayan intoxicated...

524
00:44:48,434 --> 00:44:52,211
...all the time so he wouldn't
ask for his share of property.

525
00:44:52,567 --> 00:44:53,841
If one looks at this-

526
00:44:53,900 --> 00:44:57,074
Deepnarayan did not know that
Shakuntala was pregnant.

527
00:44:57,634 --> 00:45:01,639
But Debnarayan...
- Debnarayan was at the party,

528
00:45:01,934 --> 00:45:04,107
how would he ransack the dispensary?

529
00:45:04,434 --> 00:45:07,108
Not everything needs to be done
by the self Mr. Ratikant.

530
00:45:07,167 --> 00:45:10,148
Are you keeping Doctor Pannalal Palit
out of all this?

531
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:14,979
Doctor Palit's reaction changed entirely after
getting the news of Shakuntala's pregnancy.

532
00:45:15,034 --> 00:45:17,036
You must have noticed that.

533
00:45:17,134 --> 00:45:21,605
It was Shakuntala who got him to this
house by getting Jagannath sacked.

534
00:45:21,967 --> 00:45:24,641
The doctor wouldn't be
dumb enough to kill...

535
00:45:24,700 --> 00:45:28,147
...with his own injection
and get caught as well.

536
00:45:28,234 --> 00:45:29,907
Who all would be present
at those meetings?

537
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:30,740
Narmada Shankar.

538
00:45:31,734 --> 00:45:33,873
He used to be
Shakuntala's senior in college.

539
00:45:34,367 --> 00:45:38,713
They would meet for tea, horse riding
sessions and bridge games

540
00:45:38,967 --> 00:45:40,913
Jagannath would come too.

541
00:45:40,967 --> 00:45:45,712
Wait, did Jagannath change the vial
to get Palit in danger?

542
00:45:46,500 --> 00:45:49,674
PandeyJi, we need to visit
the dispensary.

543
00:45:50,300 --> 00:45:51,779
I'm leaving Rukmani.

544
00:46:04,867 --> 00:46:07,871
What exactly is Curare?
How does it work?

545
00:46:07,934 --> 00:46:09,379
It's a deadly poison.

546
00:46:09,434 --> 00:46:12,677
The natives of South America would put
it on the tip of arrows while hunting.

547
00:46:12,734 --> 00:46:15,874
A few drops of it in contact
with skin can kill instantly.

548
00:46:15,934 --> 00:46:17,675
But it doesn't work if
mixed in food or milk,

549
00:46:17,734 --> 00:46:20,578
must mix with the blood directly.
- Oh

550
00:46:21,900 --> 00:46:23,777
Which way is Doctor
Palit's dispensary?

551
00:46:23,834 --> 00:46:24,642
Here it is.

552
00:46:26,967 --> 00:46:27,741
OK, let's go.

553
00:46:30,967 --> 00:46:33,641
Hello Doctor Palit.
' Please take a seam.

554
00:46:41,334 --> 00:46:42,369
Name?

555
00:46:43,334 --> 00:46:44,779
I'm a poor man sir.

556
00:46:44,834 --> 00:46:47,337
Say what your name is poor man!

557
00:46:47,834 --> 00:46:49,370
Khublaal Sahu.

558
00:46:49,434 --> 00:46:50,572
District?

559
00:46:50,767 --> 00:46:53,145
Bhagalpur, sir.

560
00:46:54,934 --> 00:46:57,244
How much do you make
every month?

561
00:46:57,300 --> 00:46:58,711
Thirty rupees, sir.

562
00:46:58,767 --> 00:47:01,077
I pay fifteen rupees to the
landlord for rent.

563
00:47:01,134 --> 00:47:04,445
Can you make ends meet with the rest?

564
00:47:04,767 --> 00:47:07,543
Do you know Doctor
Jagannath Prasad?

565
00:47:14,634 --> 00:47:15,578
Yes

566
00:47:17,667 --> 00:47:20,273
Jagannath gave you
ten rupees last night.

567
00:47:21,034 --> 00:47:22,012
Why?

568
00:47:24,300 --> 00:47:27,804
Sir, I have done nothing sir.
- Please!- Get up!

569
00:47:27,867 --> 00:47:32,213
He coaxed me to stop
working for doctor Palit

570
00:47:32,267 --> 00:47:40,118
I refused but he forced me the money.

571
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:42,578
The theft took place at 7 pm

572
00:47:42,634 --> 00:47:44,773
Where were you then?

573
00:47:46,567 --> 00:47:47,545
Answer me!

574
00:47:47,900 --> 00:47:49,607
I was at the lane behind.

575
00:47:49,934 --> 00:47:52,778
I did not do anything sir.

576
00:47:53,100 --> 00:47:56,309
This theft has put your
employer's life at risk.

577
00:47:56,367 --> 00:47:58,313
Are you aware of that?

578
00:48:00,100 --> 00:48:01,511
You can leave.

579
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:10,138
Doctor Palit,

580
00:48:10,500 --> 00:48:13,174
how many months pregnant
is Shakuntala Devi?

581
00:48:13,767 --> 00:48:14,905
Three months

582
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:17,207
You seem to be surprised.

583
00:48:18,967 --> 00:48:21,538
Shouldn't I be?

584
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:23,511
(Chanting from Bhagawad Gita)

585
00:49:54,334 --> 00:49:55,813
Greetings Sir.

586
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:06,378
Greetings Pandeyji.

587
00:50:06,900 --> 00:50:08,379
Greetings Deewanji.

588
00:50:11,067 --> 00:50:13,047
You have taken the rear entrance!

589
00:50:13,300 --> 00:50:15,246
Sir wants to interrogate you

590
00:50:15,334 --> 00:50:20,079
Of course
' Does this door remain closed at night?

591
00:50:20,533 --> 00:50:22,240
Gajadhar Singh?
' Yes sir.

592
00:50:22,300 --> 00:50:23,677
Come here

593
00:50:28,467 --> 00:50:30,071
Does this door remain
closed at night?

594
00:50:30,133 --> 00:50:31,612
It is left open at times sir.

595
00:50:31,667 --> 00:50:33,806
I guard it with my might.
Not even a rat can trespass

596
00:50:33,900 --> 00:50:34,776
You may leave.

597
00:50:34,834 --> 00:50:36,939
Are you thinking of the theft sir?

598
00:50:38,067 --> 00:50:40,104
If one wants to get
people inside,

599
00:50:41,467 --> 00:50:46,610
one can easily enter through the rear.
Right?

600
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:50,441
Do you think someone entered through
the back door to inject him?

601
00:50:50,500 --> 00:50:53,344
Don't worry, he'll tell you.
Just wait and watch.

602
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:58,142
Writer,
mark this incredible secret passage

603
00:50:58,200 --> 00:50:59,543
Exactly!

604
00:51:10,633 --> 00:51:14,376
Here's the post mortem report sir.
'Yes, give it to me

605
00:51:23,433 --> 00:51:27,404
Your guess was absolutely right sir.
It's confirmed

606
00:51:27,467 --> 00:51:29,504
Cause of death, Curare.

607
00:51:40,067 --> 00:51:41,205
Pandeyji...

608
00:51:43,434 --> 00:51:46,381
I heard Deepnarayanji passed away?
But how?

609
00:51:46,567 --> 00:51:48,513
We can't disclose
anything right now.

610
00:51:48,567 --> 00:51:49,443
Please come back later.

611
00:51:49,534 --> 00:51:51,036
I was away playing for the cricket tournament.
So couldn't make it earlier.

612
00:51:51,100 --> 00:51:53,046
I want to meet
Shakuntala right now!

613
00:51:53,100 --> 00:51:57,105
Well I'm afraid that's not possible,
whoever he is.

614
00:51:58,233 --> 00:52:00,770
You know Pandeyji,

615
00:52:00,834 --> 00:52:02,245
I am a friend of hers

616
00:52:02,300 --> 00:52:04,109
and Deepnarayanji was a
family friend too.

617
00:52:04,167 --> 00:52:07,979
All that is okay,
but no one is permitted to enter now.

618
00:52:08,033 --> 00:52:11,981
A prayer service is going on now,
please come back later.

619
00:52:13,234 --> 00:52:14,804
That's fine, that's fine!

620
00:52:23,334 --> 00:52:26,247
This is Banaras, not Calcutta

621
00:52:30,633 --> 00:52:35,412
It's becoming mercurial, Pandeyji.
Increase the security.

622
00:52:36,234 --> 00:52:39,477
Tiwariji make arrangements

623
00:52:39,567 --> 00:52:40,944
Yes sir.

624
00:52:44,834 --> 00:52:46,643
The manager needs to be summoned.

625
00:52:46,700 --> 00:52:48,236
I must have a chat with him.

626
00:52:52,167 --> 00:52:54,704
Tell us something about Doctor Palit.

627
00:52:55,967 --> 00:53:01,974
Sir, Doctor Palit had borrowed
a sum of money from my lord.

628
00:53:02,034 --> 00:53:04,139
Twenty thousand rupees
'Why?

629
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:06,407
He wanted to buy a car.

630
00:53:06,567 --> 00:53:08,945
Deepnarayanji had lent it to him..

631
00:53:09,033 --> 00:53:11,877
The doctor is a good man

632
00:53:11,934 --> 00:53:14,437
Show me the receipt.
I'm sure you have it

633
00:53:14,534 --> 00:53:15,410
Come

634
00:53:17,500 --> 00:53:24,076
Receipt? It was hurried up
and I could not keep it.

635
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:28,441
Do you doubt anyone?

636
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:30,508
Doubt?

637
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:33,638
Deepnarayanji was a good man.

638
00:53:33,700 --> 00:53:36,806
Who could be his enemy?

639
00:53:36,867 --> 00:53:38,471
Good man...

640
00:53:38,700 --> 00:53:41,010
I'm sure you've been
here long enough to know...

641
00:53:41,067 --> 00:53:45,413
...how
Shakuntala and Deepnarayan met.

642
00:53:45,500 --> 00:53:52,918
After the death of her father he himself
went to Pratapgarh to get her.

643
00:53:52,967 --> 00:53:56,005
I heard the same from the village folks too.

644
00:53:56,300 --> 00:53:58,871
Deepnarayan marries Shakuntala by force,
brings her here,

645
00:53:58,934 --> 00:54:02,780
she sacks Jagannath Prasad
and gets Doctor Palit,

646
00:54:02,834 --> 00:54:05,872
Palit gives him the injection.

647
00:54:05,934 --> 00:54:10,679
So, if traces of Curare is found in the
forensic report Palit must be arrested.

648
00:54:11,467 --> 00:54:14,505
Isn't everything falling in
place too easily?

649
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:18,605
Yes, indeed
There has to be a missing link

650
00:54:19,900 --> 00:54:23,677
Uncle used to be a very good man.

651
00:54:23,734 --> 00:54:27,580
The almighty kept us all happy.

652
00:54:27,667 --> 00:54:32,707
After the demise of your uncle Debnarayan
is the sole inheritor of all property.

653
00:54:32,767 --> 00:54:35,407
Property is not everything sir.

654
00:54:35,467 --> 00:54:38,380
I don't care about it much.

655
00:54:38,433 --> 00:54:39,434
May I leave?

656
00:54:40,634 --> 00:54:45,481
Aunt hasn't eaten a morsel
of rice since Uncle left.

657
00:54:45,567 --> 00:54:47,808
What if something happens to her?

658
00:54:47,900 --> 00:54:49,902
I won't be able to bear that

659
00:54:50,367 --> 00:54:51,471
You may leave.

660
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:05,407
Do you wish to meet Debnarayan?

661
00:55:06,167 --> 00:55:09,637
Yes, need to talk to everyone,
but before that...

662
00:55:13,100 --> 00:55:16,673
Uncle has been poisoned, right?

663
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:19,441
The poison has been injected

664
00:55:19,900 --> 00:55:23,074
Doctor Palit would never
do such a thing sir.

665
00:55:26,734 --> 00:55:29,772
You're not from the police are you?
- No.

666
00:55:30,467 --> 00:55:31,468
Detective?

667
00:55:34,333 --> 00:55:36,142
I'm a seeker of the truth.

668
00:55:41,867 --> 00:55:46,111
Are you sure you'll find it...
well, keep searching.

669
00:55:46,467 --> 00:55:51,041
But if something happens to Aunt,
we'll all perish

670
00:55:51,567 --> 00:55:55,515
Why? You still have your husband.
He'll take care of everything.

671
00:55:55,567 --> 00:55:59,538
You really think he's capable of that?

672
00:56:01,367 --> 00:56:04,246
Have you seen his condition?

673
00:56:05,067 --> 00:56:06,876
Get going-

674
00:56:11,667 --> 00:56:18,516
Hey! My name is Chandni.
We'll meet soon!

675
00:56:33,567 --> 00:56:35,376
Police!
' What?

676
00:56:35,434 --> 00:56:37,072
Run! Run!

677
00:56:40,134 --> 00:56:41,943
One minute Pandeyji.

678
00:56:45,434 --> 00:56:47,380
Greetings DebnarayanJi!

679
00:56:48,667 --> 00:56:50,044
Are you okay?

680
00:56:50,134 --> 00:56:52,705
We need to speak to you

681
00:56:58,767 --> 00:57:01,304
Uncle meant the world to me

682
00:57:01,367 --> 00:57:04,974
I don'! know what will
happen to me now.

683
00:57:05,034 --> 00:57:08,447
I don'! know... I just don't know.

684
00:57:10,034 --> 00:57:13,538
You inherit all his
property after his death.

685
00:57:13,900 --> 00:57:15,538
Do you know that?

686
00:57:17,267 --> 00:57:18,610
Chuck that

687
00:57:18,734 --> 00:57:23,080
You are immersed in gambling
and alcohol all day.

688
00:57:23,367 --> 00:57:25,404
Where did you develop
such a habit from?

689
00:57:25,467 --> 00:57:28,073
Your uncle Deepnarayan?

690
00:57:28,134 --> 00:57:32,640
I don't know anything..

691
00:57:33,267 --> 00:57:37,113
But you did know,
nothing could be yours till he was alive.

692
00:57:39,133 --> 00:57:41,579
Uncle, beloved Uncle!

693
00:57:42,434 --> 00:57:45,381
Dear Uncle of mine!

694
00:57:58,767 --> 00:58:01,111
Don't pay much heed to
Debnarayan's words,

695
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:03,771
his uncle's demise is his benefit.

696
00:58:03,867 --> 00:58:05,869
He has enough debt in the market,
stays intoxicated all day...

697
00:58:05,934 --> 00:58:07,777
...ruined guy.

698
00:58:07,867 --> 00:58:10,711
The property is all his
Palit works for him surely.

699
00:58:10,767 --> 00:58:14,112
Not just drinks and dopes
he visits notch girls too..

700
00:58:14,167 --> 00:58:17,011
Notch girls...how did you-
- I've seen him!

701
00:58:17,100 --> 00:58:19,102
Which way is Shakuntala Singh's palace?

702
00:58:19,167 --> 00:58:21,807
That way sir.

703
00:58:21,867 --> 00:58:22,641
Come

704
00:58:26,500 --> 00:58:29,037
This is Deepnarayan's bedroom.

705
00:58:29,667 --> 00:58:31,476
Why are there two beds?

706
00:58:31,534 --> 00:58:35,311
He was unwell.
A nurse was placed in his care.

707
00:58:35,367 --> 00:58:36,710
Miss Lambert.
- Hmm,

708
00:58:36,767 --> 00:58:38,906
I should've guessed it.

709
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:40,240
Come

710
00:58:56,133 --> 00:58:59,637
Is this a painting by Mrs. Singh?
- Perhaps.

711
00:58:59,834 --> 00:59:02,075
This is Avigyanam Shakuntalam.

712
00:59:03,667 --> 00:59:06,876
Yesterday's Shakuntala painted by today's.

713
00:59:07,633 --> 00:59:14,812
Dushyant burns with desire while
Shakuntala depicts pure innocence

714
00:59:18,733 --> 00:59:21,407
There's something about this painting, Ajit.

715
00:59:22,334 --> 00:59:24,871
Seems romantic brother.

716
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:29,505
No, sadistic!

717
00:59:41,500 --> 00:59:43,070
Is madam here?
' Yes.

718
00:59:43,134 --> 00:59:45,671
Tell her we need to ask
her a few questions.

719
00:59:45,767 --> 00:59:47,804
Okay, please wait.

720
00:59:51,567 --> 00:59:53,604
The police is here

721
01:00:06,700 --> 01:00:08,111
Please sit.

722
01:00:12,534 --> 01:00:16,448
I apologise for bothering
you at this time,

723
01:00:16,500 --> 01:00:20,243
but it's important to ask you a couple
of questions May I?

724
01:00:20,300 --> 01:00:22,439
Yes
- Thank you.

725
01:00:22,767 --> 01:00:25,077
But before that,
I must give you a small compliment.

726
01:00:25,134 --> 01:00:28,411
Your painting of Shakuntala
and Dushyant is very beautiful.

727
01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:34,942
Has Deepnarayan left back a will?

728
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:40,078
We never spoke much about property,

729
01:00:40,667 --> 01:00:48,415
But after our marriage he deposited
<i>5</i> lakh rupees in my bank account.

730
01:00:48,700 --> 01:00:51,579
What happened to the money?
'It's still in the bank

731
01:00:51,634 --> 01:00:52,669
Oh Okay.

732
01:00:55,634 --> 01:00:58,547
This won't be necessary.

733
01:01:05,467 --> 01:01:07,947
By the way, where have
you all put up?

734
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:12,278
At Pandeyji's brother's-
- Bridgebhanji's bungalow.

735
01:01:12,900 --> 01:01:18,009
Then it's fine,
otherwise we have a guest house too...

736
01:01:19,734 --> 01:01:21,714
if there's any trouble...

737
01:01:22,834 --> 01:01:28,750
I've heard you're doing
the investigation, hence..

738
01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:31,076
That's so kind of you ShakuntalaJi,

739
01:01:31,134 --> 01:01:34,240
but that bungalow is perfect for us

740
01:01:34,300 --> 01:01:37,577
Okay.
What were saying earlier?

741
01:01:41,300 --> 01:01:47,080
If you have children,
they are entitled to half the property.

742
01:01:47,300 --> 01:01:50,179
Was Deepnarayanji
aware of the good news?

743
01:01:50,267 --> 01:01:53,805
Yes, I told him last night,
after the party.

744
01:01:56,234 --> 01:01:57,804
He must have been very happy.

745
01:01:58,333 --> 01:01:59,471
YES

746
01:02:00,334 --> 01:02:02,211
he was very happy.

747
01:02:04,067 --> 01:02:08,243
Frenzied with happiness...

748
01:02:10,134 --> 01:02:12,774
Madam!
- Aunty! Aunty!

749
01:02:13,700 --> 01:02:15,373
What kind of men are you!

750
01:02:15,434 --> 01:02:17,277
She'll die out of the stress of
your questions!

751
01:02:17,367 --> 01:02:20,610
Go! Please go and inform Doctor Manna
immediately!

752
01:02:20,667 --> 01:02:23,079
Aunty!...

753
01:02:23,134 --> 01:02:25,740
Somriya, come soon!

754
01:02:33,767 --> 01:02:37,044
Did you eat the sweet?
- Where did I get the opportunity?

755
01:02:40,700 --> 01:02:42,179
Pandeyjis

756
01:02:42,234 --> 01:02:44,077
what about the telephone
lines in this house?

757
01:02:44,167 --> 01:02:47,910
There is one in sir's room.
It's his personal line

758
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:50,071
That's connected to the operator;

759
01:02:50,167 --> 01:02:51,908
right?
- Yes sir.

760
01:02:51,967 --> 01:02:53,002
Why?

761
01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:56,274
Nothing,
I assumed something of that sort.

762
01:02:56,367 --> 01:02:57,402
Thank you.

763
01:03:10,134 --> 01:03:14,344
(Sanskrit lines from Geet Gobindam)

764
01:03:21,500 --> 01:03:24,037
Tell me, tell me the meaning

765
01:03:25,067 --> 01:03:26,307
It means...

766
01:03:26,367 --> 01:03:30,406
a few words from your mouth
revealing the light of your white teeth,

767
01:03:30,500 --> 01:03:33,504
shining like moonlit night,
would erase the darkness in my heart-

768
01:03:33,567 --> 01:03:35,444
too complicated.

769
01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:41,610
(Sanskrit lines from Geet Gobindam)

770
01:03:43,134 --> 01:03:45,740
Sukumar Ray has reinterpreted
these lines in a new manner,

771
01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:46,574
Exact same rhythm..

772
01:03:46,634 --> 01:03:48,944
Dear snake charmer,
which way are you headed?

773
01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:54,111
'Will you tell me the meaning or not?

774
01:03:54,167 --> 01:03:56,670
What trap is this?
Explaining the meanings of Joydeb's lines...

775
01:03:56,767 --> 01:03:57,871
why don't you two
discuss these lines?

776
01:03:57,967 --> 01:04:00,174
That will be more appropriate.
' Not at all.

777
01:04:00,234 --> 01:04:01,645
You have to do the explaining.

778
01:04:01,700 --> 01:04:04,112
'Rati sukho sare'...
is what you know already...

779
01:04:04,167 --> 01:04:06,647
And 'gatam abhishare' is secret love,

780
01:04:06,700 --> 01:04:08,304
What do you say Byomkesh?

781
01:04:08,367 --> 01:04:10,176
That's what the red box says

782
01:04:10,234 --> 01:04:11,508
You mean post box?

783
01:04:12,933 --> 01:04:16,176
That's not a post box.
It's Radha's messenger.

784
01:04:17,934 --> 01:04:20,574
Stop meddling with riddles...
tell me what is it!

785
01:04:21,467 --> 01:04:23,811
I can tell you,
but give me a cigarette first.

786
01:04:24,067 --> 01:04:25,876
There are two motives till now.

787
01:04:25,933 --> 01:04:28,812
Money or property and
infidelity.

788
01:04:28,900 --> 01:04:31,506
In Satyabati's favourite
lines from the Geet Govind,

789
01:04:31,600 --> 01:04:33,011
'Smaragaral'?

790
01:04:33,100 --> 01:04:38,015
Right, money and 'Smaragaral'
alias.. infidelity.

791
01:04:38,100 --> 01:04:40,774
The two motives may be
inter-related too.

792
01:04:40,834 --> 01:04:42,973
Secret love affair!

793
01:04:43,367 --> 01:04:46,280
Where did the secret
love affair come from?

794
01:04:48,367 --> 01:04:52,008
Shakuntala gives the good news to her
husband at the night of the party,

795
01:04:52,067 --> 01:04:55,241
Deepnarayan is ecstatic
on hearing that.

796
01:04:55,334 --> 01:05:00,716
Yet, the following morning he informs
nothing to his trusted Doctor Palit.

797
01:05:00,767 --> 01:05:03,338
The grand news that should be
announced to the world...

798
01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:05,971
...remains confined between
only two doctors!

799
01:05:06,067 --> 01:05:08,104
Had they not been doctors,

800
01:05:08,167 --> 01:05:10,909
I doubt if they'd still
know about this.

801
01:05:10,967 --> 01:05:13,345
Shakuntala suddenly
faints after telling me...

802
01:05:13,434 --> 01:05:17,007
...she had informed her husband
about the good news.

803
01:05:17,100 --> 01:05:20,104
Had this been such a
simple story of togetherness in marriage,

804
01:05:20,167 --> 01:05:23,671
why was Dr. Palit shocked?

805
01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:28,147
He looks at everything in
such a twisted way!

806
01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:29,975
No, wait!
I didn't get it,

807
01:05:30,034 --> 01:05:32,674
so you're saying the
pregnancy is...

808
01:05:33,934 --> 01:05:35,072
Not possible.

809
01:05:35,367 --> 01:05:35,970
Why?

810
01:05:36,667 --> 01:05:39,273
Deepnarayan Singh was
bedridden for five months..

811
01:05:39,634 --> 01:05:42,205
...and Shakuntala is
three months pregnant.

812
01:05:42,467 --> 01:05:43,445
Does it make sense?

813
01:05:46,567 --> 01:05:50,777
This is why Dr. Palit was
shocked out of his wits.

814
01:05:52,067 --> 01:05:54,673
Couldn't say much out of decency.

815
01:05:54,767 --> 01:05:57,304
So now we're left with
the infidelity

816
01:05:58,933 --> 01:06:01,436
That's also impossible
without letters.

817
01:06:01,500 --> 01:06:02,638
What about telephone?

818
01:06:04,167 --> 01:06:08,138
The only telephone in the palace
is in Deepnarayan's room.

819
01:06:08,200 --> 01:06:09,611
Operator is personal.

820
01:06:11,067 --> 01:06:13,377
So Dushyant visits Shakuntala

821
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:17,537
Narmada or could it be Jagannath?

822
01:06:18,767 --> 01:06:21,748
Debnarayan or could it be Palit?

823
01:06:22,100 --> 01:06:24,046
Palit is not Dushyant for sure

824
01:06:24,100 --> 01:06:27,206
He has been hired to do the work

825
01:06:27,267 --> 01:06:32,774
And a Vagabond like Debnarayan would
never be able to woo Shakuntala Singh.

826
01:06:33,567 --> 01:06:36,946
If she does something it'll only
be for the money.

827
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:39,981
Why was Deepnarayan killed?

828
01:06:40,034 --> 01:06:43,174
Shakuntala did not give the
'good news' to her husband.

829
01:06:43,267 --> 01:06:47,010
She wouldn't have been
alive had she done so.

830
01:06:47,500 --> 01:06:50,709
Getting rid of Deepnarayan
would mean getting rid of...

831
01:06:50,800 --> 01:06:57,877
...any proof that the child is
not her husband's

832
01:06:58,167 --> 01:07:00,511
What do you really feel?

833
01:07:01,267 --> 01:07:04,441
A lot of things are in my mind Ajit...

834
01:07:04,534 --> 01:07:12,385
...but Shakuntala's painting on the wall is
clouding my mind.

835
01:07:13,734 --> 01:07:17,944
There's something very strange
about the painting.

836
01:07:20,700 --> 01:07:23,180
Satya...
Oh timeless truth..

837
01:07:23,267 --> 01:07:25,645
Stay not silent.
Speak out.

838
01:07:26,967 --> 01:07:28,844
...speak out.

839
01:07:38,700 --> 01:07:39,508
Hello

840
01:07:39,900 --> 01:07:43,871
I'm Shakuntala Singh speaking
May I speak to Mister Bakshi?

841
01:07:44,634 --> 01:07:46,170
Speaking.

842
01:08:26,967 --> 01:08:29,538
You've spoken to everyone,

843
01:08:29,967 --> 01:08:32,004
what have you conferred
Mister Bakshi?

844
01:08:32,067 --> 01:08:34,274
Do you doubt anyone?

845
01:08:34,834 --> 01:08:35,778
Yes

846
01:08:35,834 --> 01:08:37,074
Who?

847
01:08:39,267 --> 01:08:41,838
Debnarayan and Chandni.

848
01:08:41,933 --> 01:08:47,940
They must be involved in his falling ill,
and finally dying.

849
01:08:48,367 --> 01:08:52,110
Debnarayan drinks more than him,

850
01:08:52,167 --> 01:08:55,148
his liver is absolutely fine!

851
01:08:56,067 --> 01:09:01,380
Rumour has it that your husband
would keep him intoxicated all days.

852
01:09:01,500 --> 01:09:06,006
Two districts of and around Banaras
belongs to us Mister Bakshi.

853
01:09:06,067 --> 01:09:09,105
Debnarayan wouldn't be
able to manage that.

854
01:09:09,200 --> 01:09:13,080
And my husband alone was capable of
handling matters relating to property.

855
01:09:13,134 --> 01:09:15,114
Perhaps these alone
were his motives.

856
01:09:15,167 --> 01:09:17,807
They are... Mister Bakshi.

857
01:09:18,833 --> 01:09:20,642
Occasionally late at nights,

858
01:09:20,967 --> 01:09:25,438
I've seen Chandni smuggling
in a person from the rear entrance.

859
01:09:25,967 --> 01:09:27,503
Did you recognise the person?

860
01:09:27,700 --> 01:09:31,204
Debnarayan and Chandni
are in this together.

861
01:09:31,367 --> 01:09:33,278
Got the dispensary ransacked,

862
01:09:33,334 --> 01:09:35,473
and changed the vial.

863
01:09:36,834 --> 01:09:42,011
I'd be ever grateful,
if you could gather proof of their actions.

864
01:09:42,733 --> 01:09:45,407
Don't worry about money, I-

865
01:09:48,434 --> 01:09:49,936
three thousand rupees.

866
01:09:51,800 --> 01:09:53,746
I only seek the truth.

867
01:09:53,934 --> 01:09:54,708
Thank you.

868
01:09:56,801 --> 01:09:59,873
I've told you what the
truth is Mister Bakshi.

869
01:09:59,934 --> 01:10:01,936
All you need to do is to
gather the proofs

870
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:02,978
That's all.

871
01:10:03,967 --> 01:10:05,241
Good day.

872
01:10:05,301 --> 01:10:07,838
That we'll get to know in the evening..

873
01:10:07,934 --> 01:10:09,675
...how well went the day.

874
01:13:10,067 --> 01:13:10,875
Sir,

875
01:13:11,434 --> 01:13:14,040
here is the forensic
report of the vial.

876
01:13:23,301 --> 01:13:25,440
So, there are no traces
of Curare in the vial.

877
01:13:25,500 --> 01:13:27,537
Then how was Curare
found in the body?

878
01:13:27,767 --> 01:13:30,304
It's possible that Doctor Palit
changed the vial himself.

879
01:13:30,400 --> 01:13:31,640
He had that time.

880
01:13:32,334 --> 01:13:37,909
That means doctor Palit staged the
whole attack of the dispensary?

881
01:13:37,967 --> 01:13:39,742
Very well!

882
01:13:40,134 --> 01:13:40,976
Motive?

883
01:13:41,034 --> 01:13:42,672
That he alone can tell.

884
01:13:42,734 --> 01:13:44,645
Could you please check his whereabouts?

885
01:13:51,234 --> 01:13:52,076
Hello,

886
01:13:52,334 --> 01:13:54,405
please connect me to 341607.

887
01:13:56,234 --> 01:13:58,874
Hello. Is Doctor Palit there?

888
01:14:00,367 --> 01:14:01,402
Thanks.

889
01:14:02,434 --> 01:14:05,438
He left the dispensary half an hour ago.

890
01:14:05,534 --> 01:14:06,604
He's leaving Banaras.

891
01:14:06,667 --> 01:14:07,907
Get the car Pandeyji!

892
01:14:08,267 --> 01:14:09,211
Let's go.

893
01:14:34,400 --> 01:14:36,311
Stop there!

894
01:14:41,067 --> 01:14:44,071
You'll have to delay your
trip Doctor Palit.

895
01:14:45,267 --> 01:14:48,146
We have important business with you.

896
01:14:51,801 --> 01:14:53,872
What's going on here?

897
01:14:54,100 --> 01:14:56,979
There was no Curare in
the vial Doctor Palit.

898
01:14:58,034 --> 01:15:00,810
So Deepnarayan did not die
because of the injection?

899
01:15:00,867 --> 01:15:02,312
That he did.

900
01:15:02,667 --> 01:15:04,613
Curare is not a drug to
be mixed in food.

901
01:15:04,667 --> 01:15:07,204
It doesn't work unless it mixes
with blood directly.

902
01:15:07,300 --> 01:15:09,007
You're well aware of that.

903
01:15:09,467 --> 01:15:11,276
The vial has been changed.

904
01:15:14,334 --> 01:15:20,842
But I gave you the vial
I used for the injection.

905
01:15:21,267 --> 01:15:22,075
Very well then,

906
01:15:22,900 --> 01:15:26,404
tell me what you did with the
money for the car loan?

907
01:15:26,900 --> 01:15:27,571
Car loan?

908
01:15:27,900 --> 01:15:28,537
YES

909
01:15:29,434 --> 01:15:33,314
Deepnarayan Singh had lent you
20,000 rupees to buy a car.

910
01:15:34,467 --> 01:15:38,643
Oh! He hadn't given it,
he said he would.

911
01:15:39,367 --> 01:15:42,610
He said he'd give it to me as reward.

912
01:15:42,934 --> 01:15:44,971
But why are you asking
me these questions?

913
01:15:45,034 --> 01:15:47,776
Manager Gangadhar confirmed
that you had taken the money from him

914
01:15:47,834 --> 01:15:49,142
He has lied

915
01:15:50,300 --> 01:15:51,540
Byomkesh sir

916
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:54,207
that is a twisted family!

917
01:15:58,434 --> 01:16:02,780
You want to know why I was shocked
to know Shakuntala is pregnant.

918
01:16:03,867 --> 01:16:05,210
Do you know why?

919
01:16:05,767 --> 01:16:07,007
Five months!

920
01:16:07,067 --> 01:16:11,914
Deepnarayan was bedridden
and incapable for five months!

921
01:16:12,667 --> 01:16:14,578
How is it possible?

922
01:16:14,934 --> 01:16:16,140
That is what you are saying.

923
01:16:16,234 --> 01:16:18,441
I am saying?

924
01:16:18,700 --> 01:16:23,740
Miss Lambert who was Deepnarayan's
nurse till he recovered,

925
01:16:23,800 --> 01:16:26,178
will vouch for the same!

926
01:16:26,267 --> 01:16:27,940
Mister Byomkesh,

927
01:16:28,001 --> 01:16:31,210
I gave him the injection
which cost him his life.

928
01:16:31,300 --> 01:16:34,645
That is my only mistake.

929
01:16:34,700 --> 01:16:38,705
I have no idea if there
was poison in the vial.

930
01:16:38,767 --> 01:16:41,304
Please, a patient is at his deathbed.

931
01:16:41,367 --> 01:16:43,313
I must leave!

932
01:16:43,367 --> 01:16:44,437
Please!

933
01:16:47,900 --> 01:16:49,436
Okay, you may leave,

934
01:16:49,534 --> 01:16:53,607
but don't try to move out of
Banaras till this is resolved.

935
01:16:54,234 --> 01:16:55,804
Thank you.

936
01:17:02,767 --> 01:17:04,405
What are we to do brother?

937
01:17:04,467 --> 01:17:07,004
It's difficult to get a hold of him.

938
01:17:07,100 --> 01:17:09,546
Sir, should I go to Chunar Jail?

939
01:17:10,167 --> 01:17:12,977
If I can talk to the guy who
smuggled Curare,

940
01:17:13,034 --> 01:17:16,982
we could know who
purchased it from him.

941
01:17:18,834 --> 01:17:20,541
But when will you return?

942
01:17:20,600 --> 01:17:22,876
<i>I'll</i> return in a day or two.

943
01:17:23,934 --> 01:17:24,639
Yes sir.

944
01:17:24,967 --> 01:17:26,742
You must remember Ratikant,

945
01:17:27,101 --> 01:17:29,206
that Doctor Palit is now
our main target.

946
01:17:29,734 --> 01:17:30,678
Right sir.

947
01:17:33,434 --> 01:17:37,576
Death by injection,
yet no traces of Curare in the vial.

948
01:17:37,634 --> 01:17:43,141
Shakuntala is pregnant but Deepnarayan
has been bedridden for <i>5</i> months.

949
01:17:43,200 --> 01:17:45,771
Palit hasn't taken money but,

950
01:17:45,834 --> 01:17:50,180
Gangadhar insists he has paid
him without a receipt.

951
01:17:50,534 --> 01:17:51,877
Pandeyji, Miss Lambert!

952
01:17:51,967 --> 01:17:53,446
Yes, let's go!
- Right now?

953
01:17:53,500 --> 01:17:56,845
Yes, didn't you notice how
quickly Doctor Palit left.

954
01:17:57,167 --> 01:17:58,908
He might prepare her to lie

955
01:17:59,000 --> 01:17:59,978
Lets leave. Quick!

956
01:18:05,167 --> 01:18:06,339
Impossible!

957
01:18:06,801 --> 01:18:09,179
I was nursing him for about <i>5</i> months.

958
01:18:09,234 --> 01:18:10,941
I never left him alone

959
01:18:11,034 --> 01:18:12,570
Not for a single night.

960
01:18:13,934 --> 01:18:17,381
Was it possible for Deepnarayan
Singh to lead a conjugal life?

961
01:18:17,500 --> 01:18:18,478
No sir.

962
01:18:18,600 --> 01:18:21,240
The four or five months
that he was critically ill,

963
01:18:21,301 --> 01:18:23,042
it is not possible.

964
01:18:23,100 --> 01:18:25,410
He was absolutely bedridden.

965
01:18:38,334 --> 01:18:41,577
Affairs are at its best
when they're illicit.

966
01:18:41,900 --> 01:18:44,506
Look at the vast
instances in literature,

967
01:18:44,667 --> 01:18:48,046
Bengali, Sanskrit, English

968
01:18:48,201 --> 01:18:53,048
Right, tell me what kinds of affairs
are mentioned in literature

969
01:18:53,101 --> 01:18:56,048
Affairs of the full moon night,

970
01:18:56,101 --> 01:18:58,547
affairs of the moonless night,

971
01:18:58,601 --> 01:19:02,447
But affairs of the window are
most predominant now.

972
01:19:07,601 --> 01:19:09,774
Quite interesting
' Yes!

973
01:19:18,867 --> 01:19:23,316
The other day you said something
about Radha's messenger.

974
01:19:24,034 --> 01:19:30,508
I could foresee Radha
sitting by the letter box,

975
01:19:31,434 --> 01:19:32,845
swinging her legs

976
01:19:33,467 --> 01:19:34,946
What happened?

977
01:19:36,034 --> 01:19:37,570
Byomkesh?

978
01:19:38,900 --> 01:19:40,436
Byomkesh?

979
01:19:40,634 --> 01:19:42,739
What just happened?
What did I say?

980
01:19:43,334 --> 01:19:45,712
Who knows what goes
on in his mind.

981
01:19:49,667 --> 01:19:50,737
What is it?

982
01:19:50,800 --> 01:19:52,473
Why're we here?

983
01:19:55,000 --> 01:19:56,843
Let's go home C'mon!

984
01:19:57,134 --> 01:19:59,671
Satyabati is alone,
it's very late.

985
01:20:00,400 --> 01:20:02,880
It's improper to roam
around at this hour?

986
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:06,671
Ajit!

987
01:20:11,900 --> 01:20:12,674
Slowly!

988
01:20:12,934 --> 01:20:14,038
Why can't you talk tomorrow?

989
01:20:14,100 --> 01:20:15,909
I need to meet Shakuntala

990
01:20:16,200 --> 01:20:17,736
What are you doing?

991
01:20:18,067 --> 01:20:19,239
Shakuntala!

992
01:20:20,167 --> 01:20:21,578
Let's go from here.

993
01:20:27,734 --> 01:20:29,077
Come here quick!

994
01:20:29,267 --> 01:20:31,508
Stop! Stop!
Who's there?

995
01:20:32,934 --> 01:20:34,242
Get him, quick!
Stop! Stop!

996
01:20:42,301 --> 01:20:44,178
The play is at its peak Byomkesh!

997
01:20:44,234 --> 01:20:47,340
Exactly what I thought.

998
01:20:52,600 --> 01:20:55,410
Have you noticed...
the lights are off.

999
01:20:56,300 --> 01:20:58,246
The air is heavy.

1000
01:21:10,767 --> 01:21:11,677
I will go back home.

1001
01:21:12,934 --> 01:21:15,175
All this can'! happen here

1002
01:21:17,800 --> 01:21:22,613
On a vacation if you do this,
<i>I'll</i> call my brother to take me home,

1003
01:21:22,900 --> 01:21:26,541
No matter how bad the
riots are in Kolkata

1004
01:21:26,600 --> 01:21:30,571
The two went out to have betel leaves,
and see how long it's been!

1005
01:21:37,801 --> 01:21:39,439
We're also working here...

1006
01:21:40,534 --> 01:21:44,209
What work have you on vacation?

1007
01:21:44,934 --> 01:21:47,312
And brother in law is
supposed to be writing.

1008
01:21:47,601 --> 01:21:48,636
Exactly!

1009
01:21:49,267 --> 01:21:51,804
Your brother in law is
writing utter nonsense

1010
01:21:51,867 --> 01:21:54,939
He has no plot to develop,
I must help

1011
01:21:57,434 --> 01:21:58,105
Oh,

1012
01:21:59,700 --> 01:22:00,610
is that so?

1013
01:22:01,367 --> 01:22:02,937
Do what you want to,

1014
01:22:03,367 --> 01:22:04,607
<i>I'll go home.</i>

1015
01:22:05,800 --> 01:22:08,508
'Why are you so pissed Satya?

1016
01:22:09,234 --> 01:22:10,235
I told you,

1017
01:22:10,334 --> 01:22:11,836
<i>I'll</i> buy you a Banarasi,

1018
01:22:12,767 --> 01:22:13,905
and sweets...

1019
01:22:17,967 --> 01:22:18,536
Satya?

1020
01:22:21,134 --> 01:22:23,705
Why don't you remind me Ajit?

1021
01:22:23,767 --> 01:22:25,474
We must buy these tomorrow!

1022
01:22:25,567 --> 01:22:27,376
Radha's pride is deadly!

1023
01:22:28,434 --> 01:22:30,744
Aren't we getting dinner tonight?

1024
01:22:30,800 --> 01:22:31,710
Let's eat.

1025
01:22:32,167 --> 01:22:33,009
Come on.

1026
01:22:45,867 --> 01:22:51,909
(Verses from Geet Gobindam on
Lord Krishna and Radha's love affair.)

1027
01:23:31,367 --> 01:23:32,903
Narmada Shankar!

1028
01:23:33,767 --> 01:23:37,715
We need to interrogate you about
the trespass last night.

1029
01:23:37,767 --> 01:23:39,405
Trespass?

1030
01:23:40,201 --> 01:23:43,512
Do you have any proof Mr. Pandey?

1031
01:23:43,567 --> 01:23:46,673
Police has identified you
easily Narmada Shankar.

1032
01:23:46,734 --> 01:23:49,237
Really?

1033
01:23:49,334 --> 01:23:52,907
What if I tell you I was invited
by Shakuntala herself!

1034
01:23:52,967 --> 01:23:55,072
'Will I still be accused of trespassing?

1035
01:23:55,134 --> 01:23:58,274
Jagannath they're calling
me a trespasser!

1036
01:23:58,500 --> 01:24:00,946
Narmada Shankar is a trespasser!

1037
01:24:03,134 --> 01:24:05,045
Do you know what relation
I have with Shakuntala?

1038
01:24:05,134 --> 01:24:05,635
Do you?

1039
01:24:05,700 --> 01:24:06,337
Wait...

1040
01:24:06,400 --> 01:24:07,174
Shut up!

1041
01:24:08,634 --> 01:24:11,046
Narmada Shankar must be
stopped by the police!

1042
01:24:11,134 --> 01:24:14,081
I will be forbidden from meeting
Shakuntala by the Police!

1043
01:24:15,367 --> 01:24:16,345
I love her.

1044
01:24:17,400 --> 01:24:18,970
She's mine.
She's only mine, mine alone.

1045
01:24:19,034 --> 01:24:21,537
Do you understand?
' Let's go elsewhere.

1046
01:24:23,200 --> 01:24:24,178
One minute!

1047
01:24:25,134 --> 01:24:26,169
Take him away!

1048
01:24:26,234 --> 01:24:26,837
Hooligan!

1049
01:24:26,900 --> 01:24:27,674
Let's go.

1050
01:24:31,267 --> 01:24:33,304
No one can take me
away from Shakuntala

1051
01:24:35,967 --> 01:24:39,744
Listen, the day Deepnarayan passed
away the police didn't let him in.

1052
01:24:39,800 --> 01:24:42,007
He's been enraged since then.

1053
01:24:42,101 --> 01:24:45,674
He got drunk last night and insisted
that he enter the palace.

1054
01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:48,037
And you played to his tunes!
- What?

1055
01:24:48,334 --> 01:24:50,610
You understand Bengali very
well Jagannath babu.

1056
01:24:50,667 --> 01:24:51,475
Give me the truth.

1057
01:24:52,234 --> 01:24:54,737
What could I have done?
He had to meet Shakuntala

1058
01:24:55,734 --> 01:24:59,181
How long does Narmada know Shakuntala?

1059
01:24:59,234 --> 01:25:01,544
Why are you asking me all this?
I don't know these things

1060
01:25:01,600 --> 01:25:03,238
So you won't answer?

1061
01:25:04,301 --> 01:25:06,542
I'm a respectable man Pandeyji,

1062
01:25:07,301 --> 01:25:09,338
I don't interfere in
other's lives.

1063
01:25:09,401 --> 01:25:11,972
Unless of course they are Bengalis.

1064
01:25:12,067 --> 01:25:14,604
The very reason why you tried to
bribe khubblal with the money.

1065
01:25:14,667 --> 01:25:16,772
What nonsense are you saying?
- Shut up!

1066
01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:18,445
Respectable doctor!

1067
01:25:18,500 --> 01:25:20,411
You're a curse
of the educated class.

1068
01:25:20,467 --> 01:25:23,414
Answer my questions without
beating around the bush!

1069
01:25:25,201 --> 01:25:27,078
N armada was Shakuntala's lover.

1070
01:25:31,700 --> 01:25:35,011
He was her senior at the
Allahabad University...

1071
01:25:35,867 --> 01:25:40,043
I'm just telling you what
he told me.

1072
01:25:44,834 --> 01:25:46,677
Throw some light,
0 Lord Mahadev!

1073
01:25:47,434 --> 01:25:49,778
Such penance I can bear no more!

1074
01:25:50,467 --> 01:25:53,175
The sticky feeling on my fingers
the other day, was the envelope sealing gum...

1075
01:25:53,234 --> 01:25:55,737
...from Shakuntala's writing desk.

1076
01:25:56,500 --> 01:25:57,877
Letter?
- Yes,

1077
01:25:58,634 --> 01:26:00,580
and the red letter box

1078
01:26:01,167 --> 01:26:03,010
Impossible to communicate
through telephone,

1079
01:26:03,100 --> 01:26:06,638
so the affair progressed
through exchange of letters.

1080
01:26:07,500 --> 01:26:09,639
And the lover too,
would enter through the back door,

1081
01:26:09,700 --> 01:26:13,113
and though the secret
passageway, reach her room.

1082
01:26:13,367 --> 01:26:14,437
N armada?

1083
01:26:15,167 --> 01:26:19,343
Or could it be anyone else who would
regularly come to those meetings?

1084
01:26:19,401 --> 01:26:23,178
The more I think of this
that painting comes to my mind.

1085
01:26:23,234 --> 01:26:25,544
'What's there in that painting?

1086
01:26:25,600 --> 01:26:27,739
The same Shakuntala and the
same old Dushyant.

1087
01:26:27,800 --> 01:26:28,870
Come on.

1088
01:26:30,067 --> 01:26:31,444
Come on now.

1089
01:26:31,567 --> 01:26:34,514
Praise to the Lord Shiva!

1090
01:26:56,234 --> 01:26:57,804
Greetings Mr. Manager!

1091
01:26:59,000 --> 01:26:59,910
Greetings

1092
01:27:01,234 --> 01:27:03,009
Do you collect letters
from here every day?

1093
01:27:04,201 --> 01:27:07,546
Yes, from layers, judges
electricity bills etc.

1094
01:27:07,934 --> 01:27:09,743
Around 25 each day

1095
01:27:10,267 --> 01:27:11,439
When's the clearance?

1096
01:27:11,800 --> 01:27:14,337
7 in the morning and 4 in the evening.

1097
01:27:14,700 --> 01:27:17,146
Is this also related to the death?

1098
01:27:17,234 --> 01:27:18,770
'Whom did you give twenty
thousand rupees to,

1099
01:27:18,834 --> 01:27:22,372
that you considered it unnecessary
to keep any receipt?

1100
01:27:23,167 --> 01:27:25,909
You haven't paid such a huge
amount to Doctor Palit,

1101
01:27:25,967 --> 01:27:29,176
if this information reaches
Pandeyji's ears..

1102
01:27:29,801 --> 01:27:31,803
An enquiry will be set up

1103
01:27:31,867 --> 01:27:32,777
Isn't it Ajit?

1104
01:27:32,934 --> 01:27:36,677
So much money belonging to the estate.
- and he is a strict officer.

1105
01:27:36,900 --> 01:27:37,935
Fine sir,

1106
01:27:38,701 --> 01:27:42,171
if Palit refuses,
<i>I'll</i> pay the money myself.

1107
01:27:43,034 --> 01:27:45,378
I'm anyway used to bearing losses

1108
01:27:46,900 --> 01:27:50,279
You gave the money to your
son Leeladhar right?

1109
01:27:54,400 --> 01:27:56,710
What could I have done sir?

1110
01:27:56,967 --> 01:27:58,571
That good for nothing son of mine,

1111
01:27:58,634 --> 01:28:01,615
Leeladhar,
is an alcoholic, gambler.

1112
01:28:03,100 --> 01:28:08,641
He was so deep in debt that we were
ashamed to show our faces to anyone

1113
01:28:10,267 --> 01:28:11,644
<i>I'll</i> repay the money, sir,

1114
01:28:11,700 --> 01:28:13,270
<i>I'll</i> repay the money.

1115
01:28:13,434 --> 01:28:14,936
Please forgive me sir.

1116
01:28:17,334 --> 01:28:22,977
But Leela and I are not involved
in any of this mess

1117
01:28:23,434 --> 01:28:26,381
Why don't you let me
meet my aunt?

1118
01:28:26,534 --> 01:28:28,070
What are you thinking?

1119
01:28:28,534 --> 01:28:30,343
That <i>I'll</i> poison her?

1120
01:28:31,467 --> 01:28:32,377
Not only you,

1121
01:28:33,200 --> 01:28:36,738
no one is allowed to meet
her except Miss Manna.

1122
01:28:38,134 --> 01:28:40,375
Our work will be done in
two or three days,

1123
01:28:40,434 --> 01:28:42,072
then you can meet her any time

1124
01:28:42,134 --> 01:28:45,138
Your aunty of course!
- Why?

1125
01:28:45,234 --> 01:28:47,942
Who can take care of her
better than me?

1126
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:50,674
She's very ill.

1127
01:28:50,767 --> 01:28:53,611
Perhaps you don't know,
she's not ill,

1128
01:28:53,667 --> 01:28:55,442
she's pregnant.

1129
01:28:56,801 --> 01:28:58,337
Pregnant!!!

1130
01:29:05,600 --> 01:29:06,670
Saw her face?

1131
01:29:07,100 --> 01:29:09,137
The news is as
devastating as bombs.

1132
01:29:09,401 --> 01:29:11,381
No one's believing this,

1133
01:29:11,434 --> 01:29:13,209
our equations are matching Ajit.

1134
01:29:13,267 --> 01:29:14,507
What now?

1135
01:29:16,067 --> 01:29:18,741
It's time to embark on
the search for sarees

1136
01:29:35,334 --> 01:29:36,904
Like it?

1137
01:29:38,234 --> 01:29:39,542
It's good

1138
01:29:40,534 --> 01:29:42,445
Just good?

1139
01:29:44,201 --> 01:29:45,680
What more?

1140
01:29:46,267 --> 01:29:49,578
Rest your Shakuntala
Singh will provide you.

1141
01:29:51,601 --> 01:29:54,844
'What would happen to
my Parvati then?

1142
01:29:55,267 --> 01:29:58,077
Your Parvati has got
used to it all.

1143
01:30:41,434 --> 01:30:42,572
Satya.

1144
01:30:44,734 --> 01:30:50,707
You are as deserving as I'm when
it comes to seeking the truth

1145
01:30:50,767 --> 01:30:55,614
Who else could have shown me the
path to such untainted truth?

1146
01:31:36,667 --> 01:31:37,509
Byomkesh?

1147
01:31:39,767 --> 01:31:41,144
Fascinating!

1148
01:31:44,067 --> 01:31:46,513
I wish to talk to
Shakuntala Singh,

1149
01:31:46,567 --> 01:31:47,705
alone.

1150
01:31:47,800 --> 01:31:49,040
Did you figure something?

1151
01:31:51,000 --> 01:31:53,378
You have seen the painting too,

1152
01:31:54,334 --> 01:31:56,336
Ajit recounted the Geet Gobindam,

1153
01:31:57,367 --> 01:32:00,246
And we lit the lamps every night...

1154
01:32:03,534 --> 01:32:06,879
Earlier I'd seen the painting in
the darkness of the night Ajit.

1155
01:32:06,934 --> 01:32:10,643
Today I got to see it in
broad daylight.

1156
01:32:15,100 --> 01:32:17,239
What?
- I am stumped...

1157
01:32:28,001 --> 01:32:29,605
How is she doing now?

1158
01:32:29,667 --> 01:32:31,340
She's better.

1159
01:32:31,401 --> 01:32:33,176
She ate last night.

1160
01:32:33,234 --> 01:32:34,508
I need to talk to her,

1161
01:32:34,567 --> 01:32:35,409
alone.

1162
01:32:37,900 --> 01:32:39,004
One minute.

1163
01:32:47,900 --> 01:32:49,436
You may.
- Thank you.

1164
01:32:58,367 --> 01:32:59,641
Let's talk business

1165
01:33:02,767 --> 01:33:06,510
After your father died, Deepnarayan Singh
forcibly marries you

1166
01:33:07,501 --> 01:33:09,708
The next one year goes by happily,

1167
01:33:10,034 --> 01:33:11,843
bearing you a child

1168
01:33:13,901 --> 01:33:19,408
The motive of the child is a very important
factor in the death of Mr. Deepnarayan.

1169
01:33:20,701 --> 01:33:24,274
For the last five months
he was bedridden.

1170
01:33:25,467 --> 01:33:28,607
And you are three months pregnant.

1171
01:33:30,934 --> 01:33:32,709
And in these five months,

1172
01:33:32,767 --> 01:33:37,375
Miss Lambert hasn't left
sight of Deepnarayan.

1173
01:33:40,667 --> 01:33:41,839
Then?

1174
01:34:08,534 --> 01:34:10,741
Take as many as you want.

1175
01:34:12,967 --> 01:34:15,811
Who's your Dushyant Mrs Singh?

1176
01:34:43,934 --> 01:34:45,038
What news?

1177
01:34:45,367 --> 01:34:50,009
Two <i>slaps</i> from me at the Chunar jail,
and the prisoner accepted everything.

1178
01:34:50,067 --> 01:34:53,014
It was Doctor Palit who bought
the Curare from him

1179
01:34:53,067 --> 01:34:54,273
<i>100 ms.</i>

1180
01:34:55,801 --> 01:34:59,248
The whole drama at the dispensary
was to distract us.

1181
01:34:59,301 --> 01:35:01,907
Then Doctor Palit must
be arrested soon.

1182
01:35:03,267 --> 01:35:05,679
Narmada could be
Shakuntala's lover,

1183
01:35:05,767 --> 01:35:09,078
and he bribed Palit to do this

1184
01:35:09,134 --> 01:35:13,666
We also saw that Palit doesn't earn
much from the dispensary.

1185
01:35:13,667 --> 01:35:16,648
...please have a seat.

1186
01:35:18,501 --> 01:35:23,416
It must remembered that Shakuntala
herself had introduced Palit to that house.

1187
01:35:23,500 --> 01:35:25,537
Did Shakuntala accept everything?

1188
01:35:25,600 --> 01:35:27,580
Yes she accepted that
she has a secret lover.

1189
01:35:27,634 --> 01:35:30,012
And he is the father of her child

1190
01:35:30,067 --> 01:35:31,410
His name?

1191
01:35:32,534 --> 01:35:34,013
She didn't divulge.

1192
01:35:34,800 --> 01:35:38,441
But she accepted how they
would secretly meet.

1193
01:36:20,667 --> 01:36:23,910
Murder at the hands of Palit,

1194
01:36:24,300 --> 01:36:26,302
but a different lover?

1195
01:36:27,034 --> 01:36:28,945
Shakuntala hails from my village.

1196
01:36:29,301 --> 01:36:31,281
She could tell me,

1197
01:36:31,334 --> 01:36:32,574
should I ask?

1198
01:36:34,134 --> 01:36:37,115
She'll divulge everything
herself tonight.

1199
01:36:37,634 --> 01:36:39,170
'Will she?

1200
01:36:39,234 --> 01:36:41,111
Yes but not orally.

1201
01:36:41,534 --> 01:36:45,414
Tonight at 10.30 she will drop
a letter at the post box...

1202
01:36:45,501 --> 01:36:48,573
...disclosing the name of her lover.
It will be addressed to Pandeyji.

1203
01:36:48,667 --> 01:36:50,874
The letters are cleared
by 7 am every morning.

1204
01:36:50,934 --> 01:36:53,346
Pandeyji I hope by 10.30 am,

1205
01:36:53,401 --> 01:36:56,610
you'll get the letter
bearing her lover's name.

1206
01:36:57,267 --> 01:36:59,213
But why only after 10.30 pm?

1207
01:36:59,267 --> 01:37:02,043
Miss Manna leaves that
house at ten.

1208
01:37:02,567 --> 01:37:04,069
Only after that Shakuntala...

1209
01:37:04,600 --> 01:37:06,739
...to maintain secrecy.

1210
01:37:07,534 --> 01:37:13,644
Meanwhile formulate the prisoner's account
in such away that Palit doesn't get off easily.

1211
01:37:14,600 --> 01:37:15,601
Very well,

1212
01:37:16,067 --> 01:37:17,444
come on Ratikant.

1213
01:37:17,967 --> 01:37:20,208
You will remember everything I hope

1214
01:37:20,301 --> 01:37:21,473
Yes sir.

1215
01:37:25,367 --> 01:37:28,837
Palit doesn't look like he could kill...

1216
01:37:33,901 --> 01:37:36,541
Go in and switch on the fan
- Eh?

1217
01:37:37,200 --> 01:37:38,178
At one go.

1218
01:37:44,900 --> 01:37:47,540
This is why I say,
the truth can never be concealed

1219
01:37:47,601 --> 01:37:50,673
It hovers around the eye always,
like a switch board!

1220
01:37:50,767 --> 01:37:52,747
Are you doping or something?

1221
01:37:53,301 --> 01:37:55,679
Everyone will be doped out
of their senses tonight!

1222
01:37:55,767 --> 01:37:57,075
What?

1223
01:37:57,900 --> 01:38:00,847
The shroud of lies will
clear to celebrate truth.

1224
01:38:01,334 --> 01:38:05,214
You can't be upset,
tonight we'll be late.

1225
01:38:07,700 --> 01:38:09,043
Of course you will be..

1226
01:38:09,101 --> 01:38:12,014
It's going to be a no moon night,
and I'd asked you not to be out.

1227
01:38:12,067 --> 01:38:13,808
It's a no moon night right?

1228
01:38:13,867 --> 01:38:14,937
How splendid!

1229
01:38:15,600 --> 01:38:17,841
You've nailed it Satya!

1230
01:38:17,901 --> 01:38:19,778
I don't understand your riddles

1231
01:38:20,767 --> 01:38:24,271
Is there any time better to reunite with
your beloved than a no moon night?

1232
01:38:24,334 --> 01:38:25,904
I'm sure that won't be
on all night long!

1233
01:38:25,967 --> 01:38:28,447
Not a chance
We'll be back by 12.30-1 am

1234
01:38:28,501 --> 01:38:29,241
Right Ajit?

1235
01:38:29,300 --> 01:38:29,801
Yes

1236
01:38:31,034 --> 01:38:32,172
stay UP-

1237
01:38:32,467 --> 01:38:35,676
<i>I'll</i> come to you with the story
of Dushyant and Shakuntala

1238
01:38:40,967 --> 01:38:43,140
Whats' happ...
- One minute!

1239
01:38:43,200 --> 01:38:46,545
Geet Gobindam..switch board...
Shakuntala's painting...

1240
01:38:46,634 --> 01:38:50,081
you should get the rest.
While I take a quick shower.

1241
01:38:50,167 --> 01:38:53,376
Diamond Harbour... Ranaghat...Tibet!

1242
01:39:02,734 --> 01:39:05,044
What time is it?
- 9.45.

1243
01:39:05,100 --> 01:39:07,740
Byomkesh, why are we going to
witness the letter being dropped?

1244
01:39:07,801 --> 01:39:09,474
We'd come to know in
the morning anyway.

1245
01:39:09,567 --> 01:39:12,013
Listen, Geet Gobindam..switch boar-

1246
01:39:12,101 --> 01:39:13,512
Spare me of your riddles!

1247
01:39:13,600 --> 01:39:15,443
I'll watch for now.
'Will write about it later.

1248
01:39:27,501 --> 01:39:29,174
Pandeyji, let's go!

1249
01:39:39,234 --> 01:39:40,235
It's 10.15.

1250
01:39:40,634 --> 01:39:41,874
Should I place Tiwari that side?

1251
01:39:41,934 --> 01:39:43,436
All instructions are given right?
- Yes, everything!

1252
01:39:44,567 --> 01:39:45,739
Go!
- Yes sir.

1253
01:39:46,934 --> 01:39:49,881
Pandeyji,
we don't have much time.

1254
01:39:50,667 --> 01:39:52,613
You wait here,
<i>I'll</i> keep a watch there.

1255
01:39:54,600 --> 01:39:55,408
Ajit, hide there

1256
01:39:56,534 --> 01:39:57,342
And listen,

1257
01:39:59,101 --> 01:40:03,675
on hearing the sound of the flute,
You must run like the forlorn Radha

1258
01:41:33,934 --> 01:41:34,810
PandeyJi, that way!

1259
01:42:14,334 --> 01:42:20,580
How could you fail to trust the person
you loved so deeply?

1260
01:42:27,367 --> 01:42:32,612
'Will you survive after killing
me Mr. Dushyant?

1261
01:42:39,267 --> 01:42:40,610
Thank you Pandeyji.

1262
01:42:42,267 --> 01:42:43,746
Read the letter later,

1263
01:42:43,867 --> 01:42:45,244
see the face first.

1264
01:42:53,233 --> 01:42:54,371
Goodness!

1265
01:43:01,234 --> 01:43:02,372
Yes (written)

1266
01:43:05,234 --> 01:43:08,613
Shakuntala's painting
reinforced my doubts

1267
01:43:08,700 --> 01:43:09,872
You know that.

1268
01:43:11,734 --> 01:43:13,771
Licit or illicit,

1269
01:43:14,901 --> 01:43:19,543
any person has a deep desire
to tell the world who the lover is

1270
01:43:20,834 --> 01:43:25,408
through music, letters, paintings.

1271
01:43:26,200 --> 01:43:30,512
Shakuntala also tried to express
who her Dushyant was

1272
01:43:32,567 --> 01:43:35,480
I couldn't comprehend much on..

1273
01:43:35,701 --> 01:43:41,083
...seeing the painting in the
darkness of the night

1274
01:43:41,167 --> 01:43:45,547
One wouldn't understand unless he
spotted the tiny clue Shakuntala left.

1275
01:43:45,601 --> 01:43:48,377
It kept striking me each time.

1276
01:43:51,034 --> 01:43:54,743
Geet Gobindam and
Satyabati saved me.

1277
01:43:57,334 --> 01:43:59,780
Suddenly that night
Satya reminded me

1278
01:44:05,601 --> 01:44:06,409
It's on the left side.

1279
01:44:07,001 --> 01:44:08,571
Goodness, she's angry!

1280
01:44:10,200 --> 01:44:13,044
The first time I entered
Shakuntala's room at night,

1281
01:44:13,467 --> 01:44:17,005
He instinctively knew where the switch
board was switching on the light.

1282
01:44:17,067 --> 01:44:18,808
Unless you are a regular visitor,

1283
01:44:18,867 --> 01:44:21,473
you wouldn't know the position
of the switchboard.

1284
01:44:21,901 --> 01:44:24,313
(Verses from Geet Gobindam on
Lord Krishna and Radha's love affair.)

1285
01:44:24,700 --> 01:44:26,236
All equations were
perfectly balanced.

1286
01:44:26,334 --> 01:44:27,574
<i>'Rati sukh sate...'</i>

1287
01:44:28,100 --> 01:44:30,011
.Rati-g Ratikant.

1288
01:44:31,067 --> 01:44:34,241
This doubt made me view
the painting in day light.

1289
01:44:35,067 --> 01:44:39,277
I noticed Shakuntala's Dushyant
is blue-eyed.

1290
01:44:40,267 --> 01:44:42,213
Remember, Pandeyji had mentioned...

1291
01:44:42,267 --> 01:44:45,476
...they both hailed from the
same district in Allahabad?

1292
01:44:45,567 --> 01:44:47,333
Perhaps they were in love since then.

1293
01:44:47,334 --> 01:44:49,473
Yet, their secretly the
affair continued...

1294
01:44:49,534 --> 01:44:51,946
The next natural step
would be having a child.

1295
01:44:52,534 --> 01:44:55,606
When she knew about her pregnancy,
she called for Ratikant.

1296
01:45:24,967 --> 01:45:26,503
The news is confirmed.

1297
01:45:38,201 --> 01:45:40,943
They must have been in
love in Pratapgarh itself,

1298
01:45:41,400 --> 01:45:45,314
But before they could be together;
Deepnarayan forcibly marries Shakuntala

1299
01:45:45,367 --> 01:45:49,144
Ratikant gets himself enlisted in the
Police service and lands in Banaras.

1300
01:45:49,200 --> 01:45:50,804
Their affair continues

1301
01:45:51,534 --> 01:45:57,746
Doom would befall if
Deepnarayan came to know.

1302
01:45:59,400 --> 01:46:01,539
'With Shakuntala's life at risk,

1303
01:46:01,900 --> 01:46:04,471
So... Deepnarayan had to be removed.

1304
01:46:06,167 --> 01:46:08,078
Ratikant devices a plan

1305
01:46:08,834 --> 01:46:11,576
Of getting Curare from Chunar Jail...

1306
01:46:11,800 --> 01:46:13,746
...and mixing it in the vial.

1307
01:46:20,067 --> 01:46:22,980
After the murder when I raise
the question of poison,

1308
01:46:23,034 --> 01:46:25,173
Ratikant works it out in his head.

1309
01:46:25,867 --> 01:46:28,643
He changes the vial immediately,

1310
01:46:28,700 --> 01:46:30,907
wishing to prove the
work was yours.

1311
01:46:32,200 --> 01:46:34,373
But, couldn't save
himself in the end.

1312
01:46:37,467 --> 01:46:39,538
Why was 'yes' written in the letter?

1313
01:46:40,901 --> 01:46:43,882
Sorry Pandeyji,
that was a pan of my plan.

1314
01:46:43,934 --> 01:46:47,381
I had told Shakuntala Singh
I knew who her Dushyant was

1315
01:46:48,067 --> 01:46:50,445
I didn't ask her to write his name.

1316
01:46:50,801 --> 01:46:56,274
You wouldn't mind much if two lakh was
taken from the five in your account.

1317
01:46:57,501 --> 01:46:59,037
If you agree,

1318
01:46:59,467 --> 01:47:03,643
write a 'yes' and post it
to Pandeyji's address

1319
01:47:09,267 --> 01:47:13,875
I told you that the letter would bear
the name of the lover.

1320
01:47:13,934 --> 01:47:16,574
Ratikant knew his name
would be revealed.

1321
01:47:16,634 --> 01:47:18,875
So he disposed her off.

1322
01:47:21,534 --> 01:47:25,641
Only one person knew everything.

1323
01:47:26,767 --> 01:47:30,146
But she was Shakuntala's confidante.

1324
01:47:31,000 --> 01:47:33,913
She never uttered a
word to anyone.

1325
01:47:41,400 --> 01:47:42,344
Come

1326
01:47:42,667 --> 01:47:43,372
Ajit?

1327
01:47:56,334 --> 01:48:01,750
Where's peace without the Lord, 0 mind

1328
01:48:01,800 --> 01:48:06,943
Where's peace without the Lord?

1329
01:48:07,467 --> 01:48:12,917
Where's peace without the Lord, 0 mind

1330
01:48:12,967 --> 01:48:18,144
Where's peace without the Lord?

1331
01:48:18,601 --> 01:48:25,678
The eyes of the mind cry on

1332
01:48:29,801 --> 01:48:36,980
While the eyes of the body stay dry.

1333
01:48:40,767 --> 01:48:46,217
Where's peace without the Lord, 0 mind

1334
01:48:46,267 --> 01:48:51,444
Where's peace without the Lord?

1335
01:49:03,067 --> 01:49:09,211
Hanuman crossed the ocean

1336
01:49:19,768 --> 01:49:25,275
Hanuman crossed the ocean

1337
01:49:25,367 --> 01:49:30,817
'With the name of the Lord

1338
01:49:30,900 --> 01:49:38,842
'With His name, pain subsides

1339
01:49:42,301 --> 01:49:48,843
And hardships cast asunder.

1340
01:49:53,367 --> 01:49:58,817
Where's peace without the Lord, 0 mind

1341
01:49:58,867 --> 01:50:03,009
Where's peace without the Lord?

1342
01:50:04,200 --> 01:50:05,907
I've already thought of
the story brother.

1343
01:50:06,300 --> 01:50:07,176
'Fire fly.'

1344
01:50:07,767 --> 01:50:11,613
Shakuntala's fire...
and Ratikant, the fly?

1345
01:50:12,434 --> 01:50:15,108
Both fiery flies of doom.

1346
01:50:17,167 --> 01:50:18,407
This was predestined

1347
01:50:19,100 --> 01:50:22,513
The story begins in the ghats of Banaras
then reaches the palace of Deepnarayan-

1348
01:50:22,600 --> 01:50:24,443
A ferry ride for now please.

1349
01:50:24,967 --> 01:50:27,607
This time is reserved for my beloved.

1350
01:50:27,867 --> 01:50:28,436
Come on.

1351
01:50:28,534 --> 01:50:29,535
What about brother in law?

1352
01:50:29,634 --> 01:50:32,012
Writers should never be pampered.

1353
01:50:52,134 --> 01:50:54,375
Enmeshing darkness has ceased.

1354
01:50:54,901 --> 01:50:56,903
A new moon will rise tonight.
