Then sing it for me...now.

Listen.

Not like this, sing it properly.

"Stay..."

"Stay..."

"Stay O night for me..."

"Stay..."

"Stay..."

"Stay O night for me..."

"So two bodies can turn into one soul."

"The crescent moon on the horizon..."

"...let it shine in my eyes all night long."

"O clouds, heed my request."

"Don't let my stars

plunge into darkness."

"Stay..."

"Stay..."

"Stay O night for me..."

"So two bodies can turn into one soul."

"Even death can't come close to me..."

"...let's hideaway some

strands of life."

"live an eternity

in this one night."

"Let's not miss out

on living this life."

"Stay..."

"Stay..."

"Stay O night for me..."

"So two bodies can turn into one soul."

Ayush.

Ayush.

Excuse me.

I need you to unlock the door for me.

Hello.

Hello.

Ayush.

Hello.

Looking for the keys

to get out of the house.

Come dine with us first.

It's me, Rose.

It's all right. It's me.

It's all a trap.

Right from the Police

roadblock to this hotel.

Everyone we met is already dead.

This spirit is trying to mislead us.

Trying to stop us from

getting to our destination.

It's trying to delay us.

She knows...that we

have only one night left.

We must get out of here. Come on.

Come on.

Hold this.

- Dina Shaw, you said.

- Yes.

- Was she not the Indian student?

- Yes, that's the one.

Yes, I remember that girl.

She was a bright student.

Fell prey to ill health.

I believe she had a hole in her heart.

Poor girl.

It was late one night

when she really took ill...

...and I recall that a fellow professor

and I escorted her to the hospital.

But she hasn't returned.

It's very odd.

Thank you so much for the information,

professor...

...but if I may ask,

which hospital was it?

York General Hospital.

Oh my, God.

Can it be?

What? What can be?

Ayush, wait here.

- I'll be right back.

- But why?

Rose. Tell me.

Rose.

Ayush, do you remember the place...

...where Meher took

you after she poisoned you?

- Do you remember that place?

- Wait a minute, Rose.

Tell me what's going on?

Please Ayush,

I will tell you everything.

- But do you remember that place?

- Yes, of course, I do.

Then let's go,

we're running out of time.

Hurry up, Ayush.

Are you sure she brought you here?

Yes, I remember clearly.

But tell me what is it?

Ayush, we thought that spirit

is punishing you for your mistake.

But we were wrong.

Everything that's been happening

with you isn't your fault.

It's mine!

When I joined college...

...I had to leave my home

in Manchester and come to York.

Here, I started living with

Nafisa in her boarding house.

I knew Nafisa since our school days.

But I also met Vasudha there.

Even she lived with

us in that same boarding house.

She was an Indian.

Her father was some

rich barrister in Delhi.

Actually, it wasn't just Nafisa and me...

...but even Vasudha would

come over to hear your music.

The music's playing on that side...

...what are you looking for on this side?

I am seeing that this girl

is really in love with the pianist.

I have no idea.

How can she love someone

whom she never met, or talked to?

Maybe its love at first sight.

Or in this case,

love at first musical note.

You're not smiling.

What's the matter?

This has to stop, Vasudha.

This... You and me, this can't go on.

Stop?

I love you.

- You know that right.

- Yes.

And I love you too,

but you know I am married.

And this stealing behind

Julia all the time...

...it's making me very-very guilty.

Stealing behind Julia?

Are you even listening

to yourself, Richard?

That woman doesn't love you.

She doesn't even care about you.

And you still want

to feel guilty about us.

I cannot be like Julia, Vasudha.

I am not her.

I cannot be insensitive or uncaring...

...even if she is.

I am not the kind of

person to do the wrong thing.

I won't.

I am really sorry about this.

Come on Vasudha, what is wrong with you?

It's been a week.

You don't sleep or eat.

And even stopped coming to the college.

Get up.

Get up and come with us.

I don't want to go anywhere.

Please leave.

- But Vasudha...

- Just go. Please go.

We knew from Vasudha's condition...

...that something awful happened

between Richard and her.

Vasudha didn't talk to us or

step out of her room for many days...

...nor did she eat?

And then one day...

...she looked as happy

as she was sad before.

Salim and his poems, I tell you.

- Guess what my dear friends.

- What?

Richard proposed to me.

And I said yes.

I am getting married.

What?

But Richard...

I mean isn't he already married?

Then...

Well, not anymore.

His wife left him.

She left a letter behind for

him and broke off their relationship.

He's single now, and he's all mine.

Oh my, God. This is amazing news.

I am so happy for you.

This is so beautiful.

Vasu, just what you wanted. Yes.

- Fabulous party.

- Well, I'm getting married to a fabulous girl.

It's the least I can do

to celebrate our engagement...

...is throw a fabulous party.

You girls will have to excuse us.

I want to show my new

fiance off to my friends.

- Sure.

- Sure.

See you.

I'll just be back.

Sure.

Can I Introduce you to Vasudha!

Let's talk.

- Excuse me.

- Rose.

Rose, excuse me.

What's wrong?

Nafisa, I need to talk to you right now.

That's so nice of him.

What is it, Rose?

We must leave this party.

I cannot tell you here.

- Now?

- Come on.

Rose, but...

Stop it, Rose.

Just stop it.

What nonsense is this?

Richard's wife isn't dead.

She left him.

I know that.

But, everything I saw and

heard today cannot be a lie.

Julia's spirit told me

that Vasudha murdered her.

And, she even told me

where Vasudha buried her.

And...Vasudha even used our typewriter...

...to write a letter

to Richard as his wife.

And she wrote that she's leaving him...

...so that no one doubts

that she's been murdered.

Don't talk nonsense, Rose.

She's our Vasudha. Our Vasu...

She can never kill anyone.

And...it can be any typewriter, Rose.

No, Nafisa.

The letter 'N' of

our typewriter is smudged.

And she said that the letter

'n' in that letter is also smudged.

But why will Vasudha do such a thing?

Because necessity can make

people do anything, Nafisa.

Allah, this is terrible, Rose.

What will we do now?

Your wife also told me that the

note you found had a smudged 'n' in it...

...which proves it was

written by my typewriter.

You can try it if you want.

You're right.

The 'n' is smudged.

This letter was written

with your typewriter.

Tell me...where is my wife buried.

Rose, Vasudha knows.

She knows that you went to meet Richard.

How?

She noticed that the

typewriter is missing.

Then she made me tell her everything.

And then...

She said that she would

rather die than leave Richard.

Oh my god.

Where is she?

She's locked herself in the room.

- Vasudha.

- Vasu...

Please open the door Vasudha.

- Vasudha, please.

- Vasu, please.

Talk to us.

Don't be silly, Vasudha.

Please open the door.
