Phalu!
Hey, Phalu.
Phalu are you in there?
Damn it.
Phalu is never around when you need him.
Let's go there.
(music playing)
That guy from Kolkata.
Damn it! Hmmph!
Is he in the room?
He left a long time back.
He hasn't returned.
Okay.
Huh!
(humming)
Hey, mister!
Where are you going?
-I was just... -Saw your boss on a cycle.
You're loitering at night. What's going on?
Who did you see on the cycle?
Your boss from the city was on a cycle.
Didn't recognise him at first. Then when I saw his face...
-Where was he headed? -Towards Jor Lake.
(humming)
(title song)
BETTER BE CHEF THAN SORRY
Who's there?
Hey!
Let's go.
What the hell!
S**t!
Hello.
Where are you? Are you okay?
It's you?
Where did you get my number?
First tell me... Are you at that woman's house?
How did you know I'm here?
Have you lost your mind?
It's not important how I know.
Where are you? And are you okay?
Lots of things to talk about. But not right now.
Now tell me how to get out of here.
I've run out of phone credit. Call me back.
What?
idiot!
Hello.
Hello, Ator?
Wait. Wait. Wait.
What happened?
Phalu and Yadav are here.
The way you've entered over the boundary wall...
Yeah.
You can't get out the same way.
Where are you exactly?
I'm right where you entered from.
I can see everything from the boundary wall.
What's the way out?
Can you swim?
Yes, but no point.
The water body on the south...
Can you swim across it?
It's not very deep. Just covered in weed.
Not possible to swim across.
Is there another way out?
But why? That way--
Tell me if there's another way out.
Just wait a minute.
Her supply van is here.
Yadav just went to the gate.
Listen carefully.
This is a chance for you to get out.
How long will it be open?
The van will take...
fifteen-twenty minutes to leave.
This is your chance to get out. Go, go, go!
Okay.
I'll leave now.
No one is there!
I clearly saw someone there.
Got away through the path by the lake.
I told madam.
She didn't believe me.
If I find that bastard...
I'll bury him right here.
Hey!
Do you have a smoke?
I've run out too.
Let's see if...
Hey!
Hey, you bastard!
Stop right there!
I said stop!
Hey, brother. Wait. It's Ator.
It's me, Ator.
Get up on the cycle.
Let's go.
TAGORE GAVE IT A MISS
Hello. Greetings!
This is Mushkan.
Mushkan Zuberi.
Yes.
Why does she have crocodile?
You didn't know?
Really?
How is one supposed to know what that witch does in her house?
I knew she cultivated fish.
She has a farm with chickens, goats, cows.
-But Phalu... -Hmm...
Phalu...
Why does Phalu keep all that under his bed?
What does he do with the skeleton?
What does he have to do with that witch?
Don't know about that but she is a very mysterious woman.
Tell me.
Where did you get my number?
Actually...
You recharged your phone from Shamshul's shop.
I know Shamshul's number by heart.
I took your number from him.
How did he know my number?
My name wasn't mentioned anywhere.
You were his last customer.
Oh!
Pretty sharp, Ator.
Ator!
Hey, Ator!
Wake up, you bastard!
What's the matter, sir?
Come with me. The OC wants to see you.
The OC?
Is there any problem?
I don't know anything.
No, there's no problem.
He needs something.
I don't know anymore. Come along.
Let's go.
Wait. Need to take a leak.
My phone was off. I was sleeping.
Hmm.
I want to know in detail.
Got it?
She was there for a long time.
She goes by the name Mushkan Zuberi now.
Zuberi is her husband's surname.
Don't know what it was before she got married.
Try looking for Mushkan.
See if there was someone of that name.
Hmm.
They know.
Someone must know.
Interview the staff.
The old staff.
The ones who were there at that time.
Check the record if you suspect anything.
Good.
I need this information very fast. Okay?
Mail them to me.
All the details.
Okay. Thank you.
That's all. Bye.
Sir?
Sit.
Anwar, sit.
-Ator Ali. -Yes, sir.
-You're one of us. -Yes, sir.
Talk to us clearly.
Yes, sir.
I don't like beating around the bush.
-What are you up to these days? -Nothing at all.
-I'm quite unwell. -Yes, sir.
I don't have the time or the energy to talk too much.
Right.
Who is that man? What does he want?
Who, sir?
Oh, he has come from Kolkata.
He wants to buy land. I'm just helping him.
He's come all the way from Kolkata to Sundarpur to buy land?
Yes, sir.
He wants to farm something.
So, he asked me to show some land in Sundarpur.
I told him there's a lot of land in Sundarpur.
Didn't bother about anything else.
Yes but...
How will he like anything if you show him around at night?
You should show him the land during the day.
From now on, show him the land during the day.
He will like it immediately.
And tell him if he's interested in buying land...
he shouldn't climb over boundary walls at night.
But use the main gate.
If he wants to buy special land he shouldn't sneak in like a thief.
But if it's illegal that's a different matter.
Please pardon me, sir.
I've made a very big mistake.
Really sorry.
(humming)
Rahman.
-Have you seen Ator? -No, not today.
I see. Where can I find him?
Don't know.
Give him a call. Do you have his number?
I've been calling him since morning. His phone is off.
What's happening?
-Okay. Thanks. -Hmm.
Rickshaw.
Chanda or Chandra?
He said it's Chanda.
Hmm.
What does he do?
He's a journalist.
-Which paper? -"Mahakaal".
Why is after madam?
What does he want?
He's writing something about the restaurant.
He hasn't told me everything.
He said it's a popular restaurant.
He'll write about it in his paper.
-Why isn't he directly talking to her? -I told him, sir.
Right from the start.
He said it's very difficult to meet madam.
-That's why he took your help? -Yes, sir.
So where all have you taken him?
Nowhere, sir.
Only to the master's house.
I've taken him only there.
Ramakanta, the teacher, sir.
Why did you go there?
To find out about the history of the mansion.
I don't know anything about it.
That's why I took him to meet Ramakanta.
-Were you with him last night? -No, sir.
Are you lying again?
I know where that journalist was and who he was with last night.
I wasn't with him. Believe me.
He went there on his own.
I'd never let him do such a thing.
Ask Rahman.
I got to know from Rahman that he was headed towards the mansion.
He runs a tea shop opposite the restaurant.
Yes, sir.
He is talking about that shop.
Then?
I heard from Rahman that he had taken off on the cycle.
So I stopped him and asked what the matter was.
He said he'll tell me later and asked to get up on the cycle.
My head was not working at all.
I just got up on his cycle.
Sir...
What should I do if the journalist wants to meet me again?
Should I meet him or not?
-You don't have to worry about this. -Okay, sir.
He's not going to call you again.
What, sir?
You have a good life.
You're posted in Kolkata.
What would you know about our troubles?
If you get a posting here then...
I'll call you back.
Sorry, sorry, sorry madam. Actually...
I was speaking to the DIG about something important.
Please don't be sorry.
It's normal for a busy man like you.
Did you find out what that man wants?
Umm... I mean...
Actually, the OC hasn't called me back.
They've just caught hold of the informer.
Have to give him some time.
He won't talk so easily.
Hmm. Then we'll bring that man in.
First the small fry. Then the big fish.
Don't worry at all.
Okay.
I'll keep you informed.
You don't have to call me. I'll call you.
Please don't bother. I'll call you.
Just wait a little.
We'll find out everything.
The OC knows how to get the job done.
He'll make them spill their guts.
You just need to wait.
I think...
I can give you an update in the next 15 minutes.
Thank you.
Just look at that...
Why are you saying thanks?
Thank me after the job is done.
Haven't done anything yet.
Actually the thing is...
If I can do something for you...
I feel great that's why...
Hello? Hello?
Stop the car.
Hey, get off the rickshaw.
Are you talking to me?
Yes, I’m talking to you.
Get off.
But what's the matter?
-Hey, get lost? -Why are you being so rude?
-Are you Nirupam Chanda? -Yes but what's the problem?
-Problem, huh? -Hey...
-You bastard! -What are you doing?
What am I doing?
Motherf**ker, I'll tell you at the station.
Motherf**ker!
