How would I know?

Of course, you wouldn't.

You were blinded by her love.

Some years later, I

returned from Russia, a Doctor.

But Saheb had

turned into 'a patient.'

My.. my.

Look at you!

What has the world

done to my little bunny!

Happy New Year, Saheb

What are you looking for?

I know there's one..

hiding somewhere.

I just can't seem to find

the rascal, when I want.

White hair?

Don't say it aloud.

It's a bad omen.

Here it is.

Show it. Let me see!

Fetch the scissors..

there on the record.

Snip it at the root.

See..

how much I need you.

Right there.. put it in the box.

I hate New Year's Eve.

When did you see me last?

It's been two years.

Do I look any different?

You've become a

little more beautiful.

I haven't changed at all?

Sure?

You've grown up to be shy.

Please don't, Saheb

Why not?

It's my

responsibility to educate you.

The delicate thread

between us had snapped.

That was the last time,

I ever saw her.

The next morning..

I took Goonga along

and left her forever.

The secondary post mortem reports,

and facial superimpositions..

as well as the PCR tests,

clearly indicate that..

the samples match.

Hence, it is proven that..

she is dead.

Thank God!

No one to fear, and no

favours to be returned.

You still miss her, right?

No.

Liar.

Get some sleep. It's pretty late.

It's an early morning flight

and you need to be in time..

..for security check.

And just don't let me

catch you dreaming about her.

Hello!

Yes, can I speak to Mr.

Arun Kumar, please?

Sorry?

No, can you check again, please?

He should have arrived last night,

with the Criminal Forensics Group.

Yeah.

Okay.. no, thanks.

Come on, Nandi. Get a grip.

It'll be fine. I have a

friend working at Vodafone.

We'll find out right now,

details about his last call.

Please calm down.

Here, have some water.

Mama.. mama.. it's daddy!

I told him you are very angry.

Hand me the phone.

Hello.. hello Arun.

Arun can you hear me.. hello!

Hello.. Arun.

Can you hear me? Hello!

Hello.

Hi Nandini.. how are you?

Where the f*** are you?

I tried calling you a hundred times.

There is no conference in Delhi.

Arun!

Say something for God's

sake Arun. Where are you?

Nandini, I'm fine wherever I am.

I'll be back in a day or two.

Arun, why?

For what?

Is there someone else in your life?

I can't believe, you

would betray me for anyone.

But there is someone.

Is she alive?

Arun?

Is Susanna alive?

I feel such comfort,

just by looking at you.

It all comes down

to love, sweetheart!

Do you need more

time to think over it?

No. I've already made my decision.

Alright then.

See you in the church at 11.

I've repaid your favours, Saheb

Your Saheb is no more..

sugar.

I kept looking for reasons

to live, after you were gone.

And one day, I heard

about your wedding.

What better reason

could I have waited for..

to end my life.

A**hole.. I almost ran into you.

The phone and car,

are both out of order.

My mistress needs to

get to the hospital.

Please, sir, for God's sake.

Please help, sir. Please!

Otherwise my mistress will die.

I was desperate to finally

rest in the arms of Jesus.

Looks like Jesus changed his mind.

Last minute hitch.

Maybe in guilt, he sent me an angel.

I was dead in my head.

But when I woke up,

felt a little strange..

a pair of spectacles on God's nose?

You are..

Tarafdar.

Dr. Modhushudhon Tarafdar.

Who slowly became the

big brother of the house.

He was considered some

kind of Miracle Doctor.

A strange concoction of allopathy,

naturopathy..

.. ayurveda and spirituality.

Ridiculous!

This mushroom is

called Jack O' Lantern.

It has a number of uses.

Very useful mushroom.

A bit could cure,

too much could kill.

There is plenty of evil all around.

Understand?

There is plenty of evil all around.

And even plenty is

never really enough..

it's always scarce.

But for the one who

survives even in scarcity..

nothing seems scarce.

Less, more.. more, less..

that's life.

So would you prefer

less or more in your soup?

For a healer like him, I was

willing to remain ill all my life.

And I would've but Modhu promised,

he wouldn't go back to Calcutta.

Marriage wasn't on my mind.

But Modhu wanted me to

be the heir to his wealth.

He was afraid that if he were

to leave this world before me..

then his ex-wife and

daughter would harass me.

My life was grounded..

but I was flying.

Modhu.. da.

What would I do without you!

Nothing!

- Come back fast. - Bye bye.

Khan..

what happened to the lights?

Khan.. Maggie aunty!

There's a robber upstairs.

And he has a knife.

Be careful!

News is just in that in

shootout at the Taj hotel..

NSE Major Sandeep

Unnikrishnan has been killed.

At the Trident

Oberoi and Nariman House..

Don't worry!

Everything will be fine, come..

come.

Modhu.

- Thank you. - Let me see?

Nice.

I was destined to be

with all the wrong men.

At first I was completely shattered!

But slowly I began to fear him.

For the first time, it was

my life that was in danger.

Look what I cooked

especially for you.

Your favourite!

Mushroom Veloute.

Susie!

Ghalib.. in the kitchen.

Yellow one, if taken in

large quantity is fatal..

.. but if you take

it in small quantity..

it produces hallucinations.

You know, what they call,

magic mushroom.

And this..

How can you think such a thing?

Have you lost it?

I saved your life.

Don't you remember?

Susanna..

What are you doing?

What is this, Susanna?

Susanna look..

This is a big misunderstanding,

Susanna.

Please.. this is a..

This is a big misunderstanding,

Susanna. And, even if it isn't..

what is the proof?

What are you doing?

Susanna, please don't do this.

Please, darling,

please listen to me.

Su.. Sus..

Susanna..

It's your turn.

Susanna..

Susanna.. I needed the money.

I really needed it.

I lost a lot of money in business.

I went bloody bankrupt, Susanna.

Oh God!

Susanna..

Susanna..

Susanna, I loved you, Susanna.

Susanna.. I.. I really loved you.

I truly love you Susanna,

believe me.

Oh God!

I wasn't even destined

for a peaceful death.

I had forgotten all the bullets,

next to Tarafdar's body.

Sleeping pills had failed once..

and I didn't want

to hang on a noose.

Jesus!

Susie!

Oh my Jesus..

Susie!

I'd lost respect for myself.

I was shattered.

For a professional swimmer

drowning isn't an option.

I was punishing

myself for my cowardice.

A new death every moment.

And then I found out..

I was dead for the rest of world.

I couldn't let

Maggie's sacrifice go in vain.

She forced me to take

on life, one last time.

Of course, you were

forced into everything..

into marriage, into murders!

Did you ever stop to wonder,

why you committed all those sins?

For whom?

For my heart.

Your heart.. great!

My heart.

The heart..

For the sake of your heart..

you sent six people to their..

final abode before their time.

You won't understand, sugar.

Here's a little fact.
