Byomkesh Pawrbo Page #3

---

You all will be going around

as soon as it's day time.

Should I serve this, ma'am?

- Yes, serve this.

That's it.

I feel bored here!

There's a program

in the evening.

It has been arranged

in the honour of our guest.

You come with us today.

You'll like it.

"The night will fall

upon the soil."

Nafar Kundu is always present

in all issues.

I don't trust him at all.

You mean he might write

those anonymous letters. - Why not!

He is not human, Mr. Byomkesh.

You've no idea of things

he deals in.

Mr. Biswanath, come here.

Come, introduce yourselves.

This is Mr. Biswanath Mallick.

- You are here.

He is a reputed business man.

- How are you?

He is Mr. Byomkesh Bakshi.

- You..

Greetings..

This is my wife, Juthika.

You must be Satyabati.

Greetings.

"The grounds will break, tonight."

I've heard you've been threatened.

- Yes, I threw it in the dustbin.

I've got nothing to do

with arms!

I run a mill.

Do you doubt anyone?

"The grounds will break, tonight."

"Tonight.."

We went to Kolkata

few months back.

We watched the movie 'Spellbound'

by Hitchcock, at Metro.

It's a brilliant movie.

It stars Gregory Peck

and Ingrid Bergman.

They are such great actors!

Yes, you are right.

- I feel suffocated here.

I don't like it here.

I hail from Baghbazar.

Then I give priority to my duties

as a wife.

My husband is always

busy with his work.

The beats of the tom-tom

makes my heart skip a beat.

"Where does the king

get his jewels?"

"Where does the king

get his jewels?"

What's the matter!

- Hey!

I can't do it..

"Where does the king

get his jewels?"

"Where does the king

get his jewels?"

"Where does the king

get his jewels?"

Come..

I was waiting for you.

Where is Mr. Mallick?

There he is.

If it wasn't possible for you,

I could've constructed

the boundary wall.

You should've given it a thought

before promising me. Right!

Don't worry. I'll get it done.

- I've to worry.

It's been a long time. I don't

like shabby properties unlike you..

Who is it?

Are you Mr. Byomkesh? Oh!

Greetings. I am Nafar Kundu.

You've been here

with your clan.

It's good. Did you get it?

Did you find any arms?

No, I didn't find it yet.

I'll soon lay my hands on them.

Are you a cop?

- I seek the truth.

Yes? Seeker..

- Yes.

He is rich but illiterate.

He is exactly so.

Damn my fate!

My car hit the boundaries

of his tea estate.

I've promised to repair it.

I lack time.

Wherever he'll spot me..

Nafar is his ally.

He is a crooked man.

It's not easy to track arms.

It's been really tough.

He said he'll investigate.

I too allowed him to do so.

Who fears him!

- Sukhomoy didn't have a word

with me at my place.

Let him come to me.

I'll let him know

who is what!

The fragile man from Kolkata or

the powerful man from Dooars!

"Women, come out."

Badrinath loves hunting, isn't it!

He says he hunts birds.

He had been to Bagmari

jungles, yesterday.

What! - Yes.

- The murder took place yesterday.

Badrinath might export arms,

hidden in sacks of tea.

He might do that.

"Women, come out."

Maybe that's what makes you

prioritize the station.

Yes.

Do you know the trouble is,

author?

It's all uncanny till now.

It's translucent.

It's not clear.

How do you plan

to solve it?

We need a major clue.

Else it's..

- It's tough.

Do you suspect any of these

four men?

Answer me who told Yudhisthir

of 'Ramayana'?

Who?

- Answer me.

It was Markandeyo.

It was during the forest episode.

Come to think of it!

Ages ago, in a cave, sage Vyas

dictated

and Ganesha wrote it down.

It's strange.

There's a difference

between the two caves.

One is located at Basar near

Nisamabad.

The other is located at Managram

at the Himalayas. - Yes, Managram!

It's called Lord Ganesha's cave.

It's there on the way

to Gomukh.

They are situated at two

ends of the country.

It's obvious it will be so.

It's the great 'Mahabharata'.

The whole India..

- Mr. Byomkesh..

Greetings.

We are residents of Bagmari.

We have resorted to you

in times of distress.

One of our friends Amrit..

- I'll leave.

...got murdered in the jungle

two days ago.

Yes, Mr. Sukhomoy had gone

to investigate the matter!

However, we seek help from you.

Actually, Amra has been shot.

Shot!

- Yes.

He has been shot at a spot

behind Sadananda's residence.

If you could..

I am here on a different case..

Sir,

we are partially responsible

for Amra's death.

How are you all

responsible for it?

None of you have seen

the ghost!

No, only Amra saw it.

Balaram allowed him to roam about.

He wandered about in the forests.

Who is Balaram?

He is Amrita's maternal uncle.

He used to stay with his

maternal uncle.

Does anyone in the village

own a horse?

No.

Does anyone own a gun?

- No. - No.

Potol, you mentioned

Sadananda's house. Who is he?

He is a miser. He doesn't

contribute towards festivals.

He frequently visits Kolkata

with a trunk.

You think the gun is a stolen

one, Byomkesh!

Since no one in the village owns

a gun, this is possible. - Yes.

Go right from the next road.

- Go right..

Mr. Balaram..

Who is it?

- Come fast.

Wait.. I am coming.

It's Mr. Byomkesh Bakshi

here.

Oh..

Greetings. Have a seat.

Hey, everyone.

- Yes.

Get him a glass of water.

- Okay.

Ma'am, come here.

- I got to know

Amrit used to roam the forests.

You never stopped him

from doing so!

I have tried to stop him

multiple times.

He is an orphan. How much

can I take care of him!

Moreover, he was mentally ill.

Thank you. There's no need

of that.

Potol, let's go to the spot

where Amrit was..

Yes.

- Let's go.

Let's go.

- Okay.

Let's go.

Come along..

Did Amrit work for a living?

Yes, he worked as a labourer for a

few days in Badrinath's tea estate.

Then they kicked him out.

- Why?

He was a mentally ill man, sir.

His words might've offended them.

This is Sadananda's house.

The forest behind this house..

I have warned him so many times.

There might be wild animals.

Don't roam about at night.

He never paid heed

to me.

Didn't Amrit tell you

of the ghost?

What?

- Ghost.

Yes, he told me of it.

However, I didn't believe him.

He said a ghost is visible

on a black horse in the forests.

He told me once or twice.

Potol, which way is it?

It's this way. Come.

His corpse was found here.

This is the stone I had given him.

That's the tree.

Be careful, there are thorns.

- Okay.

Aren't these 'Manasa' plants?

- Yes.

Sir..

- Let's go..

Isn't Sadananda home?

Sir, he's gone to Kolkata.

What might these be!

These are imprints

of a horse's hooves.

It's the ghost!

If it be a ghost how can it leave

imprints, Potol!

When did Sadananda go to Kolkata?

Sir, he's been away for more than

seven days.

Let's go.

The post mortem report

will tell me

he was shot with which revolver.

This will further tell me whether

it's linked to illegal arms.

Black market, black ghost

and black horse.

There are many horses here,

at few places.

Where is it?
