Coolie. Coolie.
Listen. - Yes?
Could you send me a coolie from there?
No, madam, how could you get a coolie so late at night?
The train is late by seven hours.
The trains is..
Ticket.
Ticket, madam.
"Kanha plays the flute on the bank of the river.."
Listen. - Yes?
Is no transportation available here?
No, madam how can you get a vehicle so late at night?
What if I pay more? - Not even then.
The drivers are drunk and are lying unconscious, you won't get even one.
"My village is on the river bank.."
Hello? Hello.. hello? Mr. Gomez?
I'm Avinash. Yes, the train left just now. Yes.
I thought the train won't come today.
As I got the news of the accident. Yes.
Yes, yes. No, nothing like that. A goods train got derailed.
It took the whole night to clear the debris. Yes.
Okay. Okay, all right. All right, Mr. Gomez. Good night.
Yes? - Well, could you tell me how far is Rai Kuthi.
Rai Kuthi?
Would you go to Rai Kuthi? - Yes.
What happened?
No, I mean Rai Kuthi is about six miles from here.
Yes, it would be six miles.
How would you go?
They wrote they'll send the car to the station, but..
That car came and went back. - Why?
As they came to know the train won't come like we knew.
So then? - What else, no way.
Is no vehicle or coolie available here?
Perhaps you're forgetting the name of the place.
Nirjhum Gadh (deserted land).
Where are you coming from? - Kolkata.
New governess in Rai Kuthi? - You know?
Of course, I know.
If a new women suddenly gets down..
..at this station, it means there is a new governess in Rai Kuthi.
What's there to know about it?
Oh. Many had come before me I guess? - Yes, and then they left as well.
Why? - He knows.
Brijlal. - Yes, sir?
Lock the doors and the room.
Are you leaving? - Yes.
But I? - You what?
What about me?
I see you are a very modern girl.
You came for a job in Rai Kuthi without knowing what..
Alone. - Means?
Yes, where is your luggage? - There.
Oh. Come with me. - Where?
My quarters are nearby. - But..
Don't be afraid. I look bad I know.
But my character is perhaps not that bad. Come.
But going to your house so late at night and everybody..
Getting disturbed? No possibility. - Why?
Because, nobody else is there at home. Brijlal. - Yes?
Carry the luggage to my house and you leave. - No.
What happened?
I.. I would rather spend the night on.. that.. that bench.
Yes that's better. It's just one night.
That means you won't go with me? - Please.
Fine. Brijlal! - Yes, sir?
No need to carry the luggage. You leave.
You couldn't trust me, right?
If you did, perhaps you'd have done well.
The place you are going with trust, I'm not bad than that.
After all, I didn't kill my wife.
'Lt's my first day at work today.'
'I got a blow on the very first day.'
'Nobody came to pick me at the station.'
'I know complaining like this is useless.'
'Everybody opposed me, I didn't care.'
'My friends explained to me time and again, I didn't care.'
'Prashanta explained to me more than everybody did.'
I don't understand anything, Sheba, that why did..
..you go so crazy to do this job leaving everything else?
And what are you?
Even after knowing everything you are letting your sister go so far away?
Personal freedom, Brother. Personal freedom.
Look, if you could explain and make her agree.
Bye.
I know why you are doing this.
If I had a job today.
Then you would have never been able to go away like this.
Do you alone dream of a married life? Don't I?
Then why are you leaving everything and going so far away?
Oh, dear. Is this called 'so far away'?
Why are you being upset in vain, dear?
Sooner or later, you'll get a job for sure.
But does that mean I should sit idle till then?
Is the dream only yours?
Then say, you'll come immediately the day I call you.
No.
You'll come immediately and take me, the day I call you.
Don't forget.
'Today, I feel I shouldn't have come.'
'Being so courageous and taking risks doesn't.. '
'.. suit the character of a girl like me.'
'On seeing an advertisement in the newspaper..
..and coming so far to a place.. Who's it?
I am Ratan. I came to take you. - Ratan? Who Ratan?
A driver from Rai Kuthi. I have brought the car for you.
Oh! Car has come? - Yes. Come on.
Get in, I'll send the luggage.
There's the light. Go in.
Is anybody here?
Is anybody here?
Is anybody home?
Ratan. Ratan! Don't go! Ratan!
Nobody's there! Nobody home!
There's nobody home!
"Why?"
"Why did you come.."
".. to the land of death? "
"You have left life behind!"
"Why?"
"Why did you come to the land of death?"
"You have left life behind!"
"Why?"
"Why did you come?"
"Listen.. listen, no human ever lives here."
"Everything finishes here.. finishes here."
"No human ever lives here, everything finishes here."
"Then why did you come?"
"Go back, if you can." "Go back.. go back."
"Why?"
"Why did you come?"
"Listen.. listen, no traveller ever comes here."
"Nobody is awake in the stone land.. nobody is awake."
"No traveller ever comes here, nobody is awake in the stone land."
"Just remember, with heart full of pain.."
"..with heart full of thirst.."
"..awake.. awake.. awake are two eyes!"
Who's it? - Who's it? Who are you?
Oh, goodness. What's this, dear? - Tell me who are you?
Why are you standing there in darkness?
I.. My name is.. Sheba. - My goodness!
Ranu's new governess?
Sister Manoda. - Yes?
Bring water. - Shall I go, Father?
No, you stay here.
Ms. Sheba? Ms. Sheba?
Ms. Sheba? Ms. Sheba?
What? How are you feeling now?
Oh, no. Look, I troubled you people in vain.
No.. no, what's the trouble? Rather, you..
I will dismiss that idiot gatekeeper today.
After smoking opium, he doesn't remain a human.
Go check out, he'd be lying in some graveyard.
I told him so many times, we're leaving the main gate open.
Keep a watch. Now, you see.
What if it had been a thief or robber instead of this madam?
That's why I didn't want to go for the invitation.
It was the doctor's invitation. Could you've avoided it?
Fortunately, you heard the train from a distance. - Yes.
I rushed to the station immediately.
I didn't see anyone there.
I thought perhaps you didn't come today. - Oh, wow.
But your man went to pick me up. - My man?
Yes. He said his name was Ratan.
Ratan? - Yes, he said he is the driver of this house.
What happened?
Perhaps, it's dawn.
Let's open the door and the windows.
This is east. After a while, you can see a glorious sunrise.
This is south. Only mountains and as far as you can see.
And that.. Although I have sealed it.
It's a cold place, who would want the north wind?
And that is Rano's room.
Is Rano sleeping? - Yes.
Good. Tea or coffee?
Tea or coffee? Tell me what you want to start the day with.
Any would do, I'm not addicted. - Then coffee it is.
Coffee is good for the nerves. Coffee.
'Regional language.'
Who are they?
They. They are people of this house.
Servant, butler, bearer, gardener.
They come from outside, I guess? - Yes, from outside.
'Regional language.'
How beautiful.
There's nothing beautiful about those stupid slaves.
All are cowards, all are liars.
You're a stone idol, so you escaped.
Had you been alive, you wouldn't have been in this house.
Keep standing with your hand up.
Come, come. Come please.
Why do you feel shy?
She is very introvert.
She'd see someone new, and that's it.
Come.
I am your aunt. Aunt Sheba.
You call me aunt, okay?
Go. Go please. No, why would you?
You'll trouble me day and night to the extreme.
Leave it. Go.
I know why she isn't coming. I'm dark. I'm fat.
Squint-eyed.
Listen, if you could succeed.
What is your name?
Tell me your name. Oh, dear. You cannot tell your name?
You forgot, I guess? - No!
Then tell me. - No!
If you don't tell, I won't let you go.
Tell me, tell me.. - No.. no, I won't tell! I won't tell!
I won't tell anyway! - Rano!
You can't tell your name?!
You've grown so big, can't you tell your name?!
She is asking you so much. - Okay.. okay, that's all right.
If I see you behave like this again..
..l'll lock you in a dark room alone.
What are you doing? - You don't know, Ms. Sheba.
Sometimes, she behaves as if she's possessed.
Till Manoda or I be with her, everything is fine.
No problem with the servants.
But when a new governess would come..
..she'd become manner-less and cruel like she was now.
Impossible. As if everyone has decided to turn me mad.
But does it mean you'll behave like this with such a little girl?
Laxman.
Take baby out for a while. Let her take a walk.
Come. Don't cry. Come with me.
Don't cry.
Don't mind, Mr. Shankar.
I want to say a few things to you. - Go ahead.
If I need to stay in this house.
Then perhaps some things will have to be changed here. - Like?
Like behaving with Rano.
The way everybody is threatening her.
A little while ago, Manoda, and then you did it.
Specially the way you threatened her.. - I'm her father.
That's why I'm saying.
She expects the best behaviour from you.
That means?
Like everyone, do you too suspect that..
I don't love her? - No, sir.
Oh. Thank you.
Thank you.
Hey, where are you gong in a haste?
She is? - Rano's new governess.
Dr. Chaudhary is our special.. - Leave it.
For the time being, adjourn these specialties..
..and order a cup of coffee.
Rano! Rano!
Granddaughter!
For Rano. - She has gone out for a while.
Absolute a little girl, I see.
How shall I address you? Formally or informally?
As you wish. But I'll be happy, if you address me informally.
Okay.
Name? - Sheba Mitra.
There's a hint of friendship in the name.
How are you? Did you sleep at night? - How could I?
Do you give me such medicines?
Does it mean I give you those heavy doses of sleeping pills daily?
Don't worry. I won't die.
I can't believe. A heartbroken man.
I'll get coffee for you.
But dear, a governess is supposed to govern, not to serve.
My name is Sheba. You forgot, I guess?
Well said. Well said indeed.
On seeing you, I remember someone, dear. Wait.
Somewhere, almost like you.. - That's a mania you have.
Whenever you see any girl, you feel you've seen her earlier.
All work is over.
I kept the food on the table.
I've lit lamps in all the rooms.
Shall we leave now? - Leave.
Hey, Ramdas. Hey, Maiya. - Coming.
He just keeps blabbering.
Listen.
I suppose you all go home at this time everyday?
Yes, some days, we even leave earlier.
Isn't it a trouble to cover so much distance everyday?
What are you saying, madam? Won't it be a trouble?
Climbing up and down has exhausted me completely.
Look, my leg has swollen like a drum.
What happened? - I showed you my leg.
Let me greet you at feet. - What are you doing?
So, why don't you stay here if it troubles you so much?
Oh, Lord. What are you saying, madam? - Why?
Poriba will kill me upon hearing that. - Why?
There is.. - What's there?
There is.. there is.. There is a lot.
You've not seen her. She is very aggressive.
On hearing of widow, she gets absolutely crazy.
Why would she be a widow?
Why?
Why? - Yes.
Leave it today. It's evening. Bye.
Will you do something for me, Laxman?
What is it?
Will you bring me post card of Re.1 from the post office tomorrow?
Oh, dear. I'll have to walk a long distance.
And here, this is yours.
Mine? - Yes.
The entire thing is mine?
Yes. Sometimes you do something for me.
Sometimes I too will give you something, okay?
Don't worry for anything, madam.
Have no worries when Laxman is here, I'll do everything.
Hey, Brother Laxman, hurry up a little. - Oh, shut up.
I'm busy with work, go ahead.
Useless fellows.
I'm also leaving, madam.
Otherwise, they'll go much ahead of me. I get scared.
Bye.
Shall I say something, Madam? - What is it?
You won't mind I suppose? - No, no. Tell me.
If someone calls at night, don't go out of the room.
Calls? Who will call? - Quiet.
I'm telling you, nights are not good in this house, madam.
Ghost calls here at night. - What calls?
Ghost calls. Ghost. You know whom? That..
I mean, don't worry at all.
Post office for Re.1, right? I'll bring you tomorrow.
I'm leaving, okay? Hey, Ramdas! Ramdas!
Oh, Ramdas.
Ghost calls?
"Come."
"Come."
"Come close to me."
"Look, how silently night is sleeping."
"Look, how silently night is sleeping."
"What's the fear?"
"This is the time to come close."
"Come.. come."
"Come close to me."
"Wherever I see.."
"..only darkness haunts."
"Like a shadow.."
"..my desire cries to death."
"Come."
"Come close, come."
"Come, come."
"Come close, come."
Rano?
Rano.
Rano.
Rano!
Manoda! Mr. Shankar!
What's the matter? - It's a disaster, Mr. Shankar.
Rano is missing. - What did you say?
Yes. After sleeping.. - Be quiet.
Aparna. Aparna!
Aparna!
Shall I? - Bye.
But where does she go?
Where? - I don't know.
Slap her a thousand times, she won't even open mouth.
After a while, she comes back herself.
Just one day.. - One day?
Just one day, she told me in secret..
..that she goes to her mother. - Manoda!
Stay a few days, you'll understand everything.
You had been here for very long, I guess?
Otherwise, who else will look after this haunted place, tell me?
I roam in the house alone, as if everything..
..floats in my eyes like pictures.
Just that day, our junior sir.
A seven-year-old boy of dead parents..
..came to this house to live with his uncle.
Then many years passed one after the other.
Madam passed away, junior sir grew up.
He left the house in search of truth.
Sir passed away, junior sir got married.
Band played, crackers were burst.
And four years ago..
..that's it, everything finished.
And within these four years.
You didn't go out of the house even for once.
Listen, Shankar, I suggest you to take a trip outside for a few days.
Don't confine yourself in the house this way.
It will help you. - Why? What's wrong with me?
Nervous breakdown? Sudden collapse.
Don't worry, Doctor.
Without settling the accounts with your Aparna, I won't die.
I cannot die. - Tell me why do you say that time and again?
I'm telling you, this is your delusion. Hallucination.
Otherwise, would one who has left come back?
Perhaps, you won't be able to understand me today.
But while fleeing together from Dhaka..
..when I saw that girl for the first time in the fire of riots..
A small four-year-old child, who had lost parents and all relatives..
..was sitting on the street and crying in hunger.
On seeing me, she plunged on to me while crying.
Since that day, I couldn't forget even for a day that..
..whether we have blood relation or not, Aparna is mine.
Wherever I used to stay, near and far I used to go for the sake of job..
My heart used to rush back to Kolkata, to that little girl.
Sometimes, I used to fear if something..
..was troubling her while staying in at a boarding house.
But I didn't have such a house where I could keep her.
Then the day I retired, I came here strolling and suddenly I saw you.
Right then I felt, this is the man to whom I can..
..hand over my Aparna and be free of worries for life.
But did you ever feel that you got fooled?
Did I fool you, Shankar?
A request to you. Never talk of Aparna like that in front of me.
I don't like it.
"Come."
"Come."
"Come close to me."
"Look, how silently the night is sleeping."
"Look, how silently the night is sleeping."
"What's the fear?"
"This is the time to come close."
"Come.."
"Come close to me."
"For so many ages.." - Come.
Won't you go? Come.
"Waiting for you.."
Why are you standing? She's calling you, don't you hear?
Stupid girl. Would I stop? Am I not your aunt?
Go carefully, okay?
Nobody should get to know.
Give me a kiss.
"I heard myself."
"You come!"
"Come close to me."
"Come.. come. Come close, come."
Manoda. Manoda. Manoda!
Manoda!
What's this? You? - Quiet. Don't talk.
Nobody should get to know that I've come here. - What?
Yes, I want to hide here for a few days.
But what have you made of yourself, dear.
Where did you come from after so long? - Quiet.
You don't need to know. Close the door!
Listen, if someone comes here, say that you didn't see me.
You don't know that I am here. Understand?
But who will come? Police?
What? Why are you silent?
Yes. - Wow. Splendid. But what's the case this time around?
Something new or the same old formula?
Murder, assault, smuggling, fraud.. - Shankar!
Lower your voice. Absconding criminals shouldn't shout.
Perhaps, you are forgetting who you are talking to.
Are you mad? Could I forget?
Even after doing such a big harm to me? - Harm?
Did I harm you or you harmed me?
You always kept provoking father against me.
You made father disinherit me from everything.
Aren't you ashamed to question me now?
Of course, I am. But tell me what shall I do?
This was uncle's last order. - Stop it!
Don't show me orders. I know the history of orders well.
You came into this house as a nobody.
Then for the greed of money, for the greed of property..
..for the greed of house, land and everything you made plans.
You instigated father against me.
Then before his death, you made him sign..
..on whatever you wished in the will.. - I warn you!
You have no right to talk about something you don't know!
Is it so? I knew no right is needed to address a thief as a thief.
Satya.
Right now.. right now, I can give back everything to you.
Your house, land, money property, everything!
But can you give back what you took away from me?
Can you give back Aparna's life? - Junior sir.
Aparna? Oh, say that Champa? - No, she's Aparna. My wife.
That's the misfortune of this house.
Otherwise, marrying a cheap woman.. - Shut up!
Get out! Get out right now! - Shankar..
Not a word more! - Shankar!
I'll kill you if you stay here another moment!
I'll hand you over to the police. Get out!
Okay. I'm going. But remember one thing.
My name is Satya Bhushan Rai.
I will certainly come to settle the accounts one day.
And that day, I'll explain to you properly..
..who actually killed Champa. - Get out I say!
You cheated the law, but couldn't cheat me.
I saw everything from outside the window.
While playing with the revolver with Champa.. What?
Why did your face go pale, Mr. Shankar?
Satya.
Satya. Satya, go away. Go away, Satya.
Satya, flee from here.
Wretched fellow, why do you come here repeatedly?
Junior sir. Junior sir, I beg of you!
I beg of you, junior sir!
Oh, no! Junior sir, no!
What? Not interested? - No.
Did you sleep at night?
Your Satya Bhushan had come the last night.
What for? - He threatened to come again.
To settle accounts. - And then?
I wanted to kill him. I couldn't, my hands stopped.
Something will happen again.
Whenever he comes, something happens.
Be careful, Shankar.
I don't fear anyone. - Do, at least for Rano's sake.
Oh, yes, there's some news I forgot to tell you.
I don't know how Rano has got very friendly..
..with the new governess. - Really?
Yes. Before coming, I saw them both..
..strolling and talking in the garden.
Wow. Good news. Real good news.
"Sunlight plays in the clouds, it's not overcast anymore."
"Sunlight plays in the clouds, it's not overcast anymore."
"We've a holiday today, dear, we've a holiday today."
"I couldn't think what to do today."
"To which forest should I lose my way."
"I couldn't think what to do today."
"To which forest should I lose my way."
"Which ground should we children keep running around to."
"Sunlight plays in the clouds, it's not overcast anymore."
"I'll make a boat of leaf and decorate it with flowers."
Wow. - Come in.
"I'll set it afloat it in the pond, it will swing and go ahead."
"I'll make a boat of leaf and decorate it with flowers."
"I'll set it afloat it in the pond, it will swing and go ahead."
"Today, along with the shepherd boy.."
"..l'll tend to cows and blow horn."
"Today, along with the shepherd boy.."
"..l'll tend to cows and blow horn."
"I'll smear my body with the scent of flowers.."
"..by rolling in jasmine bushes."
"Sunlight plays in the clouds, it's not overcast anymore."
"Sunlight plays in the clouds, it's not overcast anymore."
Wonderful. Wonderful.
On getting such a governess.
I'm ready to swap places with Rano right now.
So, Rano are you ready?
Oh, goodness. I can see a jungle.
Yes, madam. It's better not to open this window at night.
Why?
What? Don't you know what's in the jungle? - No.
Didn't you hear it from anyone? - No.
There's a cremation ground. A cremation ground.
Madam's cremation ground.
I'm leaving, madam.
Laxman. - Yes?
Were you there when madam passed away?
No, madam. Are those people here anymore who were present there?
No? - How could they tell me?
Could they, if poor people's life is made tug of war?
First two murders, and then the police torture. - Two?
Two murders? Meaning? - Wow. Madam and Ratan.
How many is it? - Ratan?
Yes, the driver. He saw who killed madam.
And then? - And then what? He screamed murder.. murder.
Immediately, a bullet hit him on the head. That's it, finish.
Ratan. - Then what am I telling you, madam?
Do you think this house is normal?
I wonder how many mysteries are hidden here.
'Who's it? ' - 'I am Ratan.'
'I came to take you.' - Ratan? Ratan who?
A driver from Rai Kuthi. I brought a car for you.
I heard, after the murders police was all over the house.
Police arrested junior sir. Ratan's wife got insane.
Mr. Satya.. junior sir's cousin, police arrested him as well.
And then, what all happened in the court..
..that's it, everybody got acquitted.
Are you sure Ratan has been murdered?
Look at you, am I lying. That man told me himself. - Who?
I met a man in the market, he used to work in this house before.
He has told me a lot, madam.
He has said such things, upon hearing, you'll..
What happened?
No, nothing. I'm leaving. - Wait.
What did the man tell you? - I said it's nothing
Cheap man, cheap talk.. - Don't try to hide it, Laxman.
Oh, look at you, why should I hide?
Then tell me what the man said. - He said..
He said that.. - What did he say?
I am very scared, madam. - Scared of what?
I'm a poor man, if someone gets to know, I'll get killed.
If I say nobody apart from me will ever get to know.
Don't you trust me, Laxman? - No, no, why wouldn't I trust you?
Then tell me.
Tell me what he said! - He said..
He said, a few days before the murder..
..something happened between junior sir and madam.
Oh. - Madam used to cry throughout the day.
Junior sir got angry and went to Kolkata. - And then?
And then, the day he came back..
..that evening with a revolver.. - Laxman.
I'm a poor man, madam. Don't ask me anything.
I'm leaving, madam. I am leaving.
Well, Shankar. - Yes?
Can you tell me why Satya Bhushan comes here?
Meaning?
Doesn't he know, he has no legal right to the property?
Then why does he come to threaten you time and again?
Perhaps, he thinks, I'll really get threatened.
But the day when his thought proves to be wrong.
The day he will understand that till you are alive..
..you cannot ignore what his father said on his deathbed.
That day?
A cheap man like him.
Who never stepped back from doing any bad deed in the world..
..do you think he will go back empty-handed?
No, he'll try for sure. - For what?
To take revenge perhaps. - On whom?
He has only one enemy. - Are you sure?
Meaning? - Are you sure that he has no enemy but you?
Who are you talking about?
She looks small that's why she went unnoticed.
But in your absence she will be the only owner of your property.
Rano? - Yes. Satya Bhushan's enemy number two.
So, you are saying, if he wishes he could harm even Rano?
Not if he wishes, Shankar. He will have to wish.
Because he knows well that without eliminating Rano..
..it's impossible for him even to move a piece from this house.
Doctor? - I just wanted to say this.
What's the solution then?
Let me suffer, but if Rano gets harmed anyway then..
She won't. I won't let that happen.
Maybe Satya Bhushan is clever.
But I, Dr. Harihar Chaudhary, is not a fool, Shankar.
You summon your lawyer from the city tomorrow.
Lawyer? - Yes.
Make a will and let people know that in your absence..
..Rano will inherit your property.
And until Rano becomes an adult..
..a trustee will take care of her.
Then I'll see who Satya Bhushan kills to get this property.
Right. You are right, doctor.
And that's why we need such a trustee..
Doctor.
Aparna! - Shankar!
Aparna! - Don't go, Shankar!
Aparna!
Don't go, don't go. - Aparna!
Shankar.
What happened, Doctor? - Shankar. Shankar has fainted.
Gatekeeper. Gatekeeper.
You won't find him. Day and night he is in intoxication of opium.
What? Shankar never told me about this.
Gatekeeper! - Sir?
Who passed by just now? - Well.. I don't know, sir.
What are you here for, stupid man? Come with me.
Shankar needs to be taken inside now.
Take care, there should be no disturbance.
Let him sleep through the night.
I'll come again tomorrow morning.
Doctor.
Want to say something?
Did you really see her?
Yes, dear.
No doubts remain today.
But I cremated her myself.
After the death, the body was sent to the morgue.
That report is still in my box. - I am scared, Doctor.
Tell me what to do?
There's no way apart from being strong.
I will go away. - What?
Yes. But before that, I want to tell you something. - Tell me.
Not now. Not here, outside this house. - Why?
There's reason, Doctor.
I've come to know something about this house on hearing that you'd..
Who's it? Who's there? - Rano is crying.
She says she's sleepy. - All right. You leave.
You need to know everything, Doctor. I want to tell you everything.
Okay. I'll make the arrangements tomorrow.
Yes, as early as possible.
No. Don't go. Don't go, Aparna. Listen to me.
What happened? What happened, junior sir?
Manoda, did you see? - What?
Aparna came just now, did you see? - What?
Yes, Manoda. She fled on seeing me.
What are you saying?
What happened, Manoda? - Madam.
Madam, junior sir is behaving strange.
Mr. Shankar? - She came. Yes, she came, Ms. Sheba.
She was standing right there.
She fled upon seeing me.
I called her, she turned back for once while going.
And then.. and then, do you know what she said to me?
She pointed finger towards me like this and said, you.. you..
But God knows it, you all believe me, Ms. Sheba..
I'm innocent. I'm innocent. I'm innocent!
I'm innocent. I'm innocent. I'm innocent!
What happened?
Take her.
What happened to father? - You come with me.
Why is father behaving like that? - No, dear, just come with me.
You don't need to know all that. Come.
Mr. Shankar. Mr. Shankar?
Perhaps you are very surprised to see me. Isn't it?
Exactly like a king in play.
He speaks loudly, cries loudly.
No, Mr. Shankar. - Could you tell me why you give me false sympathy?
Do you think I don't understand..
..what your eyes and your face say every moment?
The same shadow of suspicion on a person day after day.
Like a dumb pointing finger towards me, she says you.. you..
But what have I done?
What crime have I committed that little by little, like this.. like this..
Calm down, Mr. Shankar. Calm down a bit.
Yes, Ms. Sheba.
I will calm down.
But before that, if I could relieve my mind a little.
I know you won't believe.
If someday in life you get to hear..
..that a man named Shankar Rai has calmed down for ever.
Then think about it just for once in your mind.
Think, he wanted to say this to everybody.
But he couldn't.
This is Aparna, my wife.
You know, six years ago, she came into my life the first time.
Okay, okay. Stay happy.
Why are you crying, dear? I'm here.
I'll visit you everyday. Why do you fear?
Shankar. - Yes?
You are getting late. - Come.
Aparna.
Are you dumb?
What's this? I'm talking since so long and you aren't replying.
I feel I've married a dumb girl. - Come on.
Tell me what were you thinking about? - Wow.
Won't I remember old days?
Childhood days? - Yes.
I know, Aparna, The doctor told me everything.
You know, like you've nobody.. - Yes?
It's the same with me. Nobody, nowhere. Apart from uncle.
Relatives? - No, dear.
Friends? - I had, when I was in boarding.
Not now? - Just one, writes to me sometimes.
Boy or a girl? - Jealous.
Of course. Tell me boy or girl?!
Tell me, otherwise.. - Oh, no!
Tell me! What? Tell me? - I am.. I am!
Tell me, boy or girl! - Oh, dear, leave me!
First, tell me. Tell me, boy or girl! - I won't say! Leave me!
Hey, I warn you.
I'll poke you with this needle. - What are you saying?
Mother would say, if anyone comes to trouble you..
..then poke him with a needle.
Oh, goodness! This is a deadly weapon. - Then what?
There's a flower inside as well.
But what's the use of those, tell me?
Those? - Yes.
I'll offer them at the feet of my God.
"You'll stay silently.."
"..in my heart."
"You'll stay silently."
"Like the quiet, placid night of the full moon."
"You'll stay silently."
"My youth, my life my entire life"
"You'll fill up with glory."
"Like the night.."
"..you'll stay silently in my heart."
"You'll stay silently."
"Your benign eyes will stay awake."
"The shadow of your drape.."
"..will keep me covered."
"Your benign eyes will stay awake."
"The shadow of your drape.."
"..will keep me covered."
"My sorrow and pains, my dreams.. dreams.."
"My sorrow and pains.."
"..my dreams.. dreams.."
"..you will fill up with fragrance."
"Like the night.."
"..you'll stay silently in my heart."
"You'll stay silently."
"Like the quiet placid night of the full moon."
"You'll stay silently."
Aparna! Aparna!
Hey, Aparna! Apa..
Aparna, what happened? What happened, Aparna?
Wow, how beautiful. These are from Kolkata I guess?
Apu? - I'll go arrange them in the cupboard.
How beautiful.
What's wrong with you? - Why?
From that day, I notice, you keep thinking something all the time.
I would have said the same to you.
You are upset with me, right?
But do you know why do I cry?
Wherever I went in life, I had been losing till now.
Now, I'm getting so much that I can't stop crying.
Aparna.
The winter is so cruel this time around, have you noticed?
Coffee. - You don't take any more.
Half cup. - Oh, goodness, Hitler's domination I see.
So, you can understand, what you've put me into.
Oh, goodness, the winter is so chilly..
..whether plain land or hilly, going out would be silly.
Tell me, why did you summon me all of a sudden?
There's good news. - Go ahead.
You.. you are perhaps going to be a grandpa.
What?! - Why did you get up? Sit down.
What are you saying? I should sit? It's some news!
This is wonderful! Apu!
Apu! Hey, Manoda, could you imagine..
..all of a sudden I'm going to be a grandpa!
That's fine. Give me some tip. - Oh.
But Shankar, now that you are going to be a father..
..keep in mind that it's a very responsible job.
You inform me in a little advance.
I'd need to arrange in some renowned nursing home in Kolkata. - Yes.
Arrange what? - Nursing home.. nursing home.
Where your madam's son will be born.
All the sons of this house have been born in this house, Doctor.
That's the custom of this house. - Oh.
Okay, all right.
Then I'd come tomorrow or day after, and give some instructions to Apu.
It's the first time, a little carefulness..
What happened?
What's the matter? As if you are laden with attitude.
And look at your seriousness, as if you are a fifty-year-old lady.
The house is full of children.
What's this? Where?
The door.
What happened? Won't you come here?
Sit.
Okay, Aparna, now tell me, is it boy or girl?
What happened, Aparna? Are you scared?
Come on, stupid, why are you scared? Are you alone?
Millions of girls in the world are becoming mothers..
..everyday like you, and you are.. - No!
Aparna?
I am not what you think I am. I am not.
I am not. I am not.
What are you saying? - Yes, Doctor.
Something has gone wrong somewhere. Perhaps..
Perhaps marrying me has not made Aparna happy?
Lmpossible. - You are like her father.
I don't hesitate in telling you.
Well, is there any such memory in her life..
..that she is not able to forget even after trying?
Someone, who was before me.. - No, Shankar! No.
Any such friend? - Not possible.
Otherwise, I'd have certainly known.
Listen, Shankar, it's a girl's mind.
Sometimes it happens like that.
You watch, everything will be all right.
I'm telling you, everything will be all right.
Is it done?
Complete.
Read what you wrote.
Nilu.
What? - Nilu.
Sad. - Keka?
No. - Kheya?
Stop! - Khuku?
Oh, goodness.
Then.. Durgeshnandini. - What's going on?
I too say the same.
What's going on there? - Here, fix a name.
Of what?
Your granddaughter's. - Oh.
I emptied all my imagination power by thinking..
..for so long, but she doesn't like any.
Why would she?
My granddaughter couldn't be named just about anything.
Have to think hard and proper and then name her. - Exactly.
And what is needed for that, first of all, is, a cup of coffee.
A cup for me too.
Just keep drinking coffee the whole day.
What? Problem solved?
Didn't I say, everything will be all right? - Yes, Doctor.
It's a girl's mind, will it do if you be so nervous?
As it is said, female character.
If you don't bring up any matter on your own..
..you'll see everything will get all right.
I didn't need to bring up on my own, Doctor.
Aparna herself was saying that day. - What was she saying?
She was saying that she will tell me everything about her in detail.
About what? - I don't know. But as far as I think..
What happened?
Here, what does this mean?
I want to know what does this mean!
I'll get kicked by the gatekeeper while..
..entering my own house, who has ordered this?
You all leave.
Perhaps they didn't recognise.
Didn't recognise or didn't want to recognise?
You think I don't know who taught them all this?
Did you come to quarrel with me?
No, no, I don't have so much time. - Then?
I came to know whether you will return my property to me or not?
How did you know that the property is yours?
Because my father made it, not your father.
And because I am his only son.
And such an able son, who didn't get satisfied..
..even after troubling father throughout his life.
When he summoned you before dying..
..he thought to hold your hands and tell you..
..to live the rest of your life like a human being.
A lot of telegrams were sent to you, but you weren't found.
And on sending men, it was discovered..
..you stay in such a place in Kolkata..
..and you sent them back by saying such things.
I was not in my senses then.
But you were in your senses to say, "Let him die who is dying."
Just send me the key of the safe.
Fine, even if I had said.. - Then get to know.
That was the last blow of his life.
Then he himself turned the fate of this house.
Meaning?
Meaning, he summoned the lawyer and made a new will.
And he made me promise..
..if I ever let you enter this house.
That will be the biggest insult of his soul done deliberately.
That's a lie! All that is a lie! - That will is still in my box.
It's all your fraud! - If you wish, you can see that will right now.
No, I don't want to see that will! That's a lie, the will is bogus!
You fraud, you want to cheat me.. - I say leave me!
What's going on?!
I'll kill you. - What's going on?!
What's going on here?!
You?
You are here? - What's he saying and to whom?
She understands well who I'm saying it to.
After being released from jail, I searched for you a lot.
I searched everywhere.
But how could have I known then that Champa the dancer..
..of Emerald theatre has left dancing gown, put on a drape..
..and has got into Rai Kuthi. - I warn you!
Doctor. - That's a lie! Do you know her?
What will make you happy?
That face, those eyes, that appearance.
I can even tell how many moles she has all over her body.
You want to tally? - You're a liar!
I'm a liar? - Yes!
Do you dare to bring her to Kolkata along with me?
I'll ask each and every man in Puronopara of Boubazar.
Then it will get proved who is honest and who is a liar.
Doctor.. Hey, Doctor.
The wind has rang the bell of ethics.
By now, perhaps, father's soul is jumping with joy in heaven!
His loving son finally brought a cheap dancer..
Hey, guys, why are you standing quietly? Can't you applaud?
Bravo! Bravo!
No! No!
He has suddenly taken ill with severe mental trauma.
You did well that you brought him to Kolkata immediately.
But you know what I feel?
If some such proof could have been presented to him..
..that could make him feel that his wife is really innocent..
..then his recovery would have been very easy.
But tell me what proof could I give?
Well, didn't you say that his wife used to stay in..
..some boarding here, before marriage? - Yes.
So, take him there, then everything will get clear.
No, sir. That boarding is no more. - What?
How could it be? It closed down last year.
Don't you see, I've started a hotel here?
Hey, Ghonte, did you serve fish to table number seven? - I did.
Shankar?
Could you? Could you prove? - Shankar?
Tell me could you or not? I'm ready to go anywhere you say.
Shankar?
Come with me.
Champa?
A girl named Champa used to work for this theatre.
But she was sacked from job a long time ago. - What?
Why? Didn't you read in the newspaper?
Six notorious criminals arrested from a stage actress's flat.
Would she still be on job? - But.
Ill fate, sir. Ill fate.
Otherwise, does no one else's father die with loan pending against him?
Or does one has to jump into the trap of..
..debtors like a fool as soon as father dies?
One of those debtors.. Rotilal or Motilal is his name..
Yes, yes, Motilal.
He posed as her guardian and brought down the disaster.
He would make the excuse of giving a chance in cinema..
..and bring home just about anybody..
All right.. all right. Could you say where they are now?
How could I tell? Search and see, maybe in hell.
Oh. All right. Come. Come with me.
My goodness. He has military attitude.
It feels Champa's market rate has gone up all of a sudden.
Why, sir? - Someone on phone yesterday.
Someone, today.
Here.. here is Moti. Come inside. - Hey, hey?
What's the matter? - Where is Champa?
Champa? - Yes.. yes, Champa!
Say where you send her? - Let go of my hand, sir.
You shouldn't behave like this with an honest man.
He is the man who knows everything about Champa.
Upon asking, he'll speak up everything right now!
Do you know anyone named Champa? - Yes, sir.
Where is she? Say where is she?
What to say, sir?
If she had been alive, then would I have been in this condition today?
Meaning? Champa is dead?
Wouldn't she? She'd have to.
Otherwise, how will the drama work?
Two Champas couldn't be present..
..in Rai Kuthi and here at the same time.
But whether she is dead or not..
..Champa has left a thing by mistake. There.
Shankar. Shankar. - Be quiet! You've cheated me!
No, Shankar. Believe me. - How much more.
How long should I believe you?
Why? Keep believing as much as you can.
Believe that what he is saying is all true.
What I am saying is all a lie.
Even Champa whom I knew two years ago..
..perhaps she is not that girl.
I smartly kept this picture here in advance.
How many years?
How many years ago you said? - I said two years.
And for these two years in jail, I made only one vow.
Because of her, the whole gang got arrested by police.
Five men are still rotting in jail.
I'll make sure to avenge her for her betrayal. - You lair!
Shankar! - You saw Champa two years ago?!
She got you arrested two years ago, right?!
Then how did I marry Aparna..
..three years ago, tell me?! Tell me! - Shankar, stop!
Tell me.. tell me! - Shankar..
Tell me. - What are you doing?
Tell me.. - What are you doing?
All right.
All right!
Shankar.
Forgive me, Doctor.
Come on, Shankar.
Don't hurdles ever come in life?
But God had been very kind. He saved my honour.
Otherwise, along with Apu..
..perhaps, I too would haveneeded to go away from your life forever.
No, Doctor.
I myself would have gone away. - Shankar?!
I was ready. - What were you up to? What were you up to!
Oh, God!
Satya Bhushan?
Isn't it the station master's vehicle?
They both are childhood friends.
Quickly.
Come in. - You go I'll follow.
But..
No, Shankar. Now, the matter is between the two of you.
And moreover, I want to be here for a while now.
Ratan. Where is your madam, Ratan?
Junior sir. What shall I say, junior sir?
Madam is not the same madam any more. - Why?
Go and see in the veneration room.
She closed the door since you left and..
God, save the honour, God. - Stop!
Where are you going?
Aparna. Aparna.
Aparna.
Apu.
No, Apu. No. Believe me.
Believe me, I didn't want you to go through this punishment.
The game fate has played with me, if any punishment..
..was there for it, I would have taken it on me.
Look here. - No.
Look here I was ready, Apu. - No.. no.
Forgive me. Apu, forgive me.
Aparna?! Aparna?!
You.. you.. - No, Aparna, no! Not me! Not me!
Murder! Murder.. murder.. murder!
Murder! Murdered! Madam is murdered!
Ratan? Ratan?
Sir.
Aparna? Aparna!
He is the man, Your Honour.
He deliberately shot and killed his wife as he planned.
And for getting out of that suspicion..
..time and again, he is blaming someone else.
But the forensic report has proved that the revolver..
..recovered from the suspect after the murder, Ms. Aparna..
..was killed with a bullet shot from the same kind of revolver.
And accidentally, only one bullet was left..
..in the revolver which the suspect had.
Tell me where was that bullet used?
Well, while returning from the station, I fired that bullet.
You are lying.
I object to these kinds of comments, Your Honour!
He is trying to save the suspect.
Your Honour, perhaps my learned friend is forgetting..
..that one who is believed to have..
..killed someone's dear one, nobody tries to save him.
And perhaps in excitement, he has forgotten that according..
..to the forensic report, even if one bullet is missing, it's not..
..possible to kill two people with it at the same time.
If Mr. Shankar has killed Ms. Aparna.
Then whose bullet was the man named Ratan killed with?!
Say, whose bullet?!
Right.
Say, I will speak nothing but the truth. I won't hide any truth.
My name is Satya Bhushan. I don't need to say all that.
Speak what you are being asked to say.
I will speak nothing but the truth. I won't hide any truth.
Where were you on the evening of the incident?
I don't remember. - What? Such a big mishap happened.
And you don't remember when and where you were?
That's it. Did I know all that will happen on that particular day?
Otherwise, why just then, I would have remembered..
..where all I went since that morning, whom I talked to..
..what I ate, with what I brushed my teeth, everything.
You know what, sir, I'm a little forgetful.
So, to make you remember if I say, that day you came to..
..Nirjhum Gadh by the evening train from Kolkata.
Then you went towards Rai Kuthi riding on..
..the motorcycle of station master Mr. Avinash.
And still later, in the darkness of evening, possibly through..
..the rear door, you hid in the temple garden in Rai Kuthi. Then?
Even then I'll say, I don't remember anything.
You are a liar! - No I'm not!
If you want to say that I have played any role in this murder..
..then you will have to prove my presence there!
You will have to prove I was having a revolver in my hand!
You will have to prove I fired the shot.
You will have to prove that I was caught with the revolver!
But can you?! Can you prove it?! Why are you quiet?!
Tell me, can you?! Can you.. can you?!
I too got acquitted.
But since then, my real punishment began.
Wherever I look, there's only suspicion in people's eyes.
Just like you.
Even if they speak nothing but still in their heart, they believe that I..
..I killed Aparna.
But I could have tolerated everything if..
..Aparna had not gone without knowing this.
But still she comes.
She comes when it gets dark. I don't know why.
But if penalizing me is her only wish, then the..
..death sentence the court couldn't pronounce for me..
..I am ready to pronounce it on myself. But for Rano.
Everybody in the world believes I don't love her.
Thinking of Rano, I couldn't do anything. I couldn't.
Will.. will you be a little kind to me, Ms. Sheba?
Will you be a little kind to me?
Wherever.. wherever you could, go away with Rano.
Two square meals a day, and a little love..
..that's it, she doesn't need anything more.
But I want. I want a little sleep.
I couldn't sleep well for long.
Will you let me sleep a little, Ms. Sheba?
Will you let me sleep a little?
I need a little sleep.
I need a little sleep.
I need a little sleep.
I told you almost everything, Doctor.
But the most important thing, that Mr. Shankar told me last night.
On the day of incident through the window of the temple..
..he clearly saw Mr. Satya Bhushan moving away.
But if this could be proved in the court for once..
The court didn't believe.
Because there was no witness apart from Shankar.
And there was Ratan.
But Satya Bhushan came and went in front of so many people.
And nobody saw him?
Perhaps they saw him. But would everyone want to speak up?
Who are you talking about?
I didn't say. I just suspect.
Where is aunt? Why isn't she coming yet?
Aunt went to your grandpa doctor's house.
Why didn't she take me? - How could I say that, dear?
Who is doing what, do they tell me before doing.
Go. Go sit in father's room, dear. I'll come.
You go on, I'll bring medicine for Shankar from home. Okay?
Here. Did you bring?
Hold this.
What's this? How will only this much do?
Where could I get more? I brought whatever was there.
Take it and leave. - Never.
I didn't come for going away, Manoda.
I told you to take the impression of the..
..safe key on a wet soap, did you get it?
Tell me, did you get it or not?!
Hold this.
Oh, wow.. wow. Good girl.
Listen, tomorrow or day after, I'll bring you a new key.
Then as I say exactly that amount from the safe.. - Satya!
I know.. I know, you scold me a lot and what else?
Perhaps you'd even cry finally.
But I even know what will happen after that.
What? Don't I know?
One whom you raised up since childhood..
..could you refuse him so easily like this?
But, I'm very hungry.
Give me some food. My stomach is on fire.
Ratan?
Doctor! - What happened?
Ratan.. - What happened, Sheba?
Ratan fled this way, doctor. - Ratan?
That man who went to pick me at station. Look at this.
My goodness. - I had doubts earlier, but no doubt remains now.
That man certainly has some connection with Mr. Satya Bhushan.
But in front of me he came to ask Shankar for job.
It's all planned, Mr. Satya Bhushan's trick.
Anyway. No need to tell anyone anything about this.
Why?
The water is flowing, Doctor.
We just need to see, where it stops.
'Prashanta, it was decided I'll call you when it's time.'
'You'll come to take me.'
'Come soon, it's time.' 'Sheba.'
You are, leaving? - Yes.
When? - Maybe today, or tomorrow.
Someone will come to take me. - Oh.
You'll forget everything about this place, I hope? - I'll try.
Junior sir. - Yes.
Go downstairs, some people have come.
You are so forgetful, dear. - Why?
Otherwise, what is this?
It fell down your neck and got stuck on the sari.
Fortunately, I noticed before washing it.
Last night's sari. - What happened?
I'm coming.
But the sari?!
All the legal documents of this house have been made by me.
Have a look if everything is proper.
Here, sign it. - Shouldn't you reconsider the trust name once again?
Why? What's your objection? - No, I was saying I'm an old man.
And moreover.. - You want to avoid responsibility?
Let me see.
Good.
That's it, now keep it in the safe.
Manoda. - Yes?
The sari. - Yes, the sari.
No, no, we won't keep any unknown gatekeeper who is new.
You leave. - Sir, I am not new.
I have been doing this job for last twenty years.
Sir you are the master, kindly give me a chance.
Give what? - Chance. English word.
Eng..
What is your name? - Sir, Trilochon. Trilochon Godai.
Godai. - Yes, sir.
So where have you come rolling from now?
Now, I'm coming from Kolkata, sir.
But my native place is in Birbhoom district..
Nagrakonda village in the Birbhoom district.
Have you done this job before?
Sir, I have been doing this job since the last twenty years.
Mr. Ghosh of Maniktala. In Mr. Ghosh's house..
..I used to work as the gatekeeper, sir.
But such an old job, why did you leave all of a sudden?
Sir, I didn't leave, God made me leave.
God made you leave? - Yes, sir.
I mean you know what the matter is.
Mr. Ghosh was a well-to-do man, sir.
House, car, servants, he had everything.
But so what? You know the nature of landlords.
He blew off everything. He never repaired the house.
The house collapsed down one day, sir.
The gate also got smashed beneath it.
So, sir if the gate got smashed beneath..
..then what's the use of gatekeeper?
So how did you come here? - Sir?
Did you work somewhere nearby here?
No, sir, I didn't work anywhere here. - I see.
I won't be able to explain everything to you, Mr. Shankar.
But believe me, whatever I am saying is for your well-being.
At least for a good many days you need to..
..remove everything from the safe.
I guess this is your last sermon before leaving?
Whatever you think.
Sir.. sir, be kind sir. I am your poor child, sir. Sir, be kind.
Oh, what are you doing? Let go.. let go.
Sir, be kind.. - Don't irritate.
What happened? - Here, Sheba.
Madam. Madam, please. Tell sir and get me the job, madam.
Madam, if I go home without a job..
..my wife will beat the hell out of me. Madam..
Keep him, Doctor. - What are you saying?
Yes. - But..
One who fled will never come back.
But who has come, why let him go easily?
I see.
Wait. Just for a day I want Ms. Aparna's jewellery box. - Why?
Don't ask questions, if you believe me.
Keep the rest carefully.
Would you be able to? - Oh, wow. Why wouldn't I?
Then tell me what will you say? - What else?
As soon as I meet I'll say, tell me what have you lost. - Then?
Then as soon mother will say, I'd say, I've found it. - Then?
Then as soon as mother will say where's it..
..l'll immediately show her the necklace. - Good!
"Come."
"Come."
"Come close to me."
"Look, how silently night is sleeping."
"Look, how silently night is sleeping."
"What's the fear?"
"This is the time to come close."
"Come.. come."
"Come close to me."
"Wherever I see, only darkness haunts.."
"..and surrounds me."
Go.
"Like a shadow.."
"..my desire cries to death."
"You come!"
"Come close, come."
"Come.. come."
"Come close, come."
Mother.
What did you say? - Take your key, there's nothing in the safe.
What? Where? Where did everything go?
How could I know that? You could ask Shankar. - Shankar.
And that girl. Day and night doctor and she is advising him.
I see. - They both are much more clever than you.
Money, wealth, will, document you won't get anything.
Okay. - Satya?
Whether I get or not, you'll get to know tomorrow.
If I have to return empty-handed then..
..l'll take something as such which is much more..
..precious than money and the will. You watch. - Satya!
Mother? - What, dear?
Say what have you lost? - What? How did you know?
Oh, wow. As if I didn't find it. - Where? Where's it, Rano?
Here. - Oh, Rano. My sweet little darling.
What you gave back to me.
I had been searching for this.. What's this? Whose is this?
Oh, wow, isn't this yours? - No.. no. Say whose is this?
Where did you find? - Oh, wow.
Say, Rano, say. Tell me quickly, where you found this?
Aunt gave me. - Where did aunt find it?
Say where did aunt find it?! - Oh wow.
Why are you scolding me for nothing? How could I know?
Father gave your jewellery box to aunt.
Aunt gave this to me and said, go and tell your mother..
..this was lost, I found it. That's why I brought it.
Do I lie for nothing? You are scolding me.
You are scolding me for nothing. - Rano.
Rano, don't cry. My sweet little darling, don't cry.
Listen. Listen to me, listen carefully.
Perhaps you won't be able to understand everything that I say.
But still whatever I'll say, go and tell your father.
Tell him he is in danger, he is in deep danger.
If he doesn't go away out somewhere with you by tomorrow..
Then.. then perhaps your mother..
Perhaps your mother will be responsible..
..for your father and your death.
Will you be able? Will you be able to tell?
Say, will you be able? - What happened, Mother?
Nothing, dear. But perhaps it's our last meeting today.
Wait.
Who are you?
My name is Prashanta Bose. I've come to take Sheba.
Oh. Be seated.
Hey?
When did you come?
What have you made of yourself? - I lost wait, right.
Because I am doing a job. A good job. - Really?
You got a job? - Yes. And along with that, a good quarters.
So, now you've no objection in going back I'm sure?
At least, I didn't come, for going back.
I.. I mean.. - When you want to leave?
By the next train.
Yes.. yes, anyhow, I want a two birth in the night train.
But take care, no third person should board that train.
Tell me what are you up to? - What am I up to?
The curtain has fallen, my friend.
The time of final showdown is approaching.
Is time table available here? - You said something?
I asked if the time table is available here.
I'd buy one. - You'll get outside.
Come.
She is leaving?
Good luck!
I'm still saying drink if you would.
Otherwise, I am going to your father. - What happened?
I'm trying since so long but she won't drink even a drop of milk.
Aunt is gone so what could I do? Would I keep her tied in chains?
People would come and go and all the trouble is for me.
Rano!
Father.
Father. - What?
What is danger, Father? - Danger?
Yes, Father. For you and me, she told me. - Told what?
Told there's danger! We are in deep danger, we'll die.
If you do not take me out somewhere out today.. - Who?
Who told you all this? - Mother.
Rano? - Yes, Father. Mother told me to tell you everything.
That's why I came to tell you. - Rano, stop it! Stop it.
What happened, Granddaughter?
As if I speak only lies. Why don't you ask aunt?
Didn't mother tell me all this yesterday?
Mother told?
Hurry up.. hurry up. - At this station?
Yes. - And.. and then?
First you just come.
Yes, sir. Madam gave me this letter in the station and said..
..go and give this to sir.
'Tonight, perhaps something as such will happen.. '
'.. that is beyond everybody's imagination.'
'Keep Rano safe. Sheba.'
"Who is awake?"
"Do you hear those footsteps?"
"Coming, someone is coming."
"I got intimation, coming someone is coming."
"My heart says, coming someone is coming."
"In the darkness of night, in deep sleep.."
"..coming, someone is coming."
"Coming, someone is coming."
What's this? You? - Quiet.
Where is Rano?
"All the noise has stopped, there's silence everywhere."
"Do you hear those footsteps?"
"Coming, someone is coming."
No.. no, what are you saying?
I didn't come to care for objection, Manoda.
If I've to finish this life of a beggar, life of a street dog..
..feeding on leftovers forever, this is the last chance for it.
If you want to save Rano from the fire of disaster..
..bring her to me right now. - But.. but why?
"Lonesome night is placid, if anybody gets tired.."
"Don't fall asleep, keep awake."
"Coming, someone is coming. Coming, someone is coming."
I want the will. I have come prepared for it for the last time.
Go, Manoda. Don't keep standing in front of me.
And then? And then what will you do?
And then? And then there's such a key..
..with which I could open all the safes of Shankar.
What? - Go!
Yes.
"Do you hear the footsteps?"
"Are you spending the night waiting?"
"Do you hear the footsteps?"
"Are you spending the night waiting?"
"That muteness like the wind!"
"Coming, someone is coming. Coming, someone is coming."
"Perhaps, someone will come in the last phase of the night."
"No sleeping any more tonight."
"In some phase of this night, someone is coming to settle accounts."
"Who.."
What? Why did you stop?
You stopped without finishing the last song of life?
Why don't you answer? - What answer do you want?
How dare you harm me so much.. - Harming is our job.
Yes.. yes, I know.. I know.
But how could you say this?
For doing this job, I proceeded step-by-step.
I spent a lot of money.
I picked up a girl like you from Kolkata and brought here.
If you want to harm me before that job gets done..
..then you could be harmed worse than that.
I know. Still I had to do this job. - But why? Why?
Because the girl whose husband and daughter..
..you want to ruin and employed me with money..
..for doing that, is my sister. - Champa?
And the biggest evidence of that is this locket.
But.. - No but.
This is the locket that mother put around the neck..
..of we both sisters in childhood.
We might have got separated by misfortune..
..but I didn't mistake at the least in recognising.
This is the necklace that went missing from my neck.
Red, blue, yellow, green, many coloured stones are embedded.
The history of a thousand pain is stuck in those stones.
And this is the necklace that was around my sister's neck.
Sober, plain, simple. Just like her life.
So when in place of my lost necklace this necklace came into my hand.
Everything got clear to me in a moment.
I understood that you want to become rich by..
..destroying my sister's husband and daughter.
And you've employed me in that sinful job!
So that I could scare them pretending to be Aparna.
So that I could make Mr. Shankar feel guilty.
So that I could make him believe that before dying..
..Aparna came to know that she got killed by her husband.
So that due to shame and hatred, while getting bowed..
..with the burden of sin Mr. Shankar kills himself one day!
And your path gets clear forever.
But how much money? How much money could you give..
..that I would agree to kill my only sister's husband?!
How much money could you give in return of which..
..l'd make her only child a helpless orphan?!
How much money will make me keep quiet..
..even when I know who killed my sister?!
How much money?
Is so much money been made in the world till today? Tell me.
Why are you silent?! Say, doctor!
You brought her. Give me.
Where to?! - I didn't come to take the will, Manoda.
I'm going with what I came to take.
Now, let me see if I get the will or not. - No, Satya! No..
No! No, Satya no. I raised you up. Don't do this, Satya.
I'm not so stupid that I'll slip over tears, Manoda.
Move from my path, Manoda.
Satya, I raised up Rano as well.
There is nobody apart from me to take care of her, Satya.
Move away! - There's nobody to take care!
Move away! - Shankar! Shankar!
Quiet. If you speak another word.. You see this?
No! Shankar!
No, never! - Manoda!
Shankar, help me! - Mother!
Manoda! Move! - Help!
No!
Yes I did everything. And the will is in my hand today.
Only if I could have removed the last obstacle Shankar..
..my path would have been clear.
But before that, tell me what answer do you have..
..for the disloyalty you did to me?!
I didn't come to answer.
What did you say? - I came to unmask you.
But even after that where could you escape?
If you think I'll let you go even after knowing everything..
..then you've failed to recognise me, Champa!
I recognised you rightly, doctor.
Look.
If you could recognise me.. - You?
Yes. But not alone.
What's this? - Surprised, right?
You're wondering how we both got together.
A little luck, doctor. And a little bad luck for you.
Look carefully and see if you could recognise me.
In Aparna's hostel, Apu's roommate, just like me..
You? - Yes. Aparna's only friend..
..whom she used to tell everything in life.
But she didn't tell about you.
Although I used to understand..
..she is trying to tell something, but not being able to.
On forcing her she used to cry.
She used to wash off all her pains in tears.
Then one day she got married. Apu went away.
But in letters she started writing about her changing fate.
She doesn't cry any more.
Her life has got filled with laughter.
The poor girl perhaps never thought even in dreams..
..about so much joy along with her husband.
But after that, again her letters started to change colour.
Again the mark of tears.
Again that chapter of not telling even on trying to tell.
The poor girl didn't write anything.
Only in the last letter, she informed..
..very few girls are fortunate to get a husband like me.
But still the shadow that is following me..
..it won't let me get anything.
Then suddenly one day Aparna got murdered.
Everybody suspected her husband, apart from me.
Because I know that someone else is there behind this.
That shadow, about which Aparna wrote in her last letter.
So when I saw the advertisement in newspaper.
Advertisement for governess, I thought this was the opportunity.
In this opportunity, I'll have to discover who is the man..
..behind that shadow! Is he still there for the greed of property.
My discovery didn't go in vain. What say, Doctor?
What I've to say, I'll say in this way!
No!
Sheba, you're not hurt I hope? - No, Brother.
Inspector, here's the culprit! Arrest him.
Hands up! - Leave me I say! Leave me!
Don't.
Yes, Inspector, the day when four-year-old Aparna..
..came into the hands of this man..
..the conspiracy began.
He wanted to train Aparna in such a way, that on using her..
..as a bait, he could become rich overnight with one move.
So as the prey of his greed, he choose you.
Because you are alone, you have huge property.
And moreover Mr. Satya Bhushan..
..with whom you have always been in conflict.
So, if for satisfying his goal you get killed suddenly some day..
..then would people suspect anyone else other than Satya Bhushan?
So for executing that murder, he sent Aparna..
..to this house as a weapon, in the disguise of wife.
It was decided she'd kill you soon on getting a chance.
But Aparna became the biggest obstacle, after marriage.
After all, she was a girl.
Could any girl kill her husband?
For that, she had to bear a lot of sorrows.
She had to cry a lot.
Some of that crying, perhaps you too..
..would have noticed, Mr. Shankar.
'Aparna, what happened? ' 'What happened, Aparna? '
But the day he heard, Aparna is going to be a mother..
..he got alert, because now you won't be alone.
Another person is coming, who will become..
..the real owner of this house.
So without wasting a single moment he gave a glass of..
..poison to Aparna, he told her to make her husband drink it.
Aparna tried to do so, but couldn't do it finally.
'Come on, stupid, why are you scared? Are you alone? '
'Millions of girls like you, are becoming mother.. '
'.. everyday, and you are.. ' - 'No! '
But in return she made a huge mistake.
She told you that she will tell you everything about her.
And you told the same to him.
Dr. Chaudhary got startled immediately.
What's this? Then he'll get caught red-handed. So the solution?
There's only one solution.
If Aparna could be made silent, before she speaks up.
Right then, came Satya Bhushan. Almost like an angel.
After coming, he mistook Aparna as Champa.
Due to terrible shock, you had a nervous breakdown.
Immediately, Dr. Chaudhary moved you away to Kolkata.
But not for getting you treated, but to find out Champa.
He needs Champa anyhow. Before Satya Bhushan gets to know.
And then?
He said he'll give me lots of money. Lots.. lots of money.
I'll just have to act for a few days.
I suffered so much for money my whole life.
Only for living with honour.
But if then I knew what acting means! - You dirty woman!
Shut up I say!
Take him! Take him away!
Take him, move! Hurry up!
In the day time, I used to keep hiding in his house.
And at night, he used to drop me by car..
..to the gatekeeper's room.
So, this sari was found in the gatekeeper's' room.
And Champa's necklace fell down in the doctor's house.
Which got stuck on my sari while I sat.
As soon as I noticed both these things..
..everything became clear as daylight immediately.
Don't cry. Don't cry, Manoda.
One who is gone won't come back.
But one who is there, you've to raise her up.
Train is at 6.30. Now..
Now, perhaps we should.. - Yes.
I'll leave. - I..
Won't thank you.
Why would you? I'm Apu's friend. Don't you have any right?
I too have, and that's why I'm saying.
Champa will never go back to Kolkata.
Sister?
Yes, Champa. Rano has no mother, at least let her have an aunt.
But.. But I..
I.. - Mother.
Mother, tell me you won't go.
Mother, tell me you won't go.
Please say, Mother.
Tell me you won't leave me.
Mother.
Let's go, Inspector.
Bye.
