Oh, the trunk was..

Nafar Kundu's sacks..

What?

- Mr. Manotosh, come here please.

I've got work. Give me a minute.

I have some work there.

Work!

- Yes.

Check it well.

There mustn't be any mistake.

Nafar Kundu's sack..

- Softly. Speak softly.

Let's go have tea.

- Keep the sacks there.

Tea!

Let's go.

Two cups of tea, please.

- Okay.

This tea is from my plantation.

Have it. You'll like it.

Good morning, Mr. Bakshi.

- Good morning.

What brings you here?

Are you looking for arms

at the station? - No.

We both have come out

for a walk.

Of course. You are a guest

in our state.

You will have a good trip

at the State's expense and return.

It suits you.

By the way someone got murdered

here. Do you know of it?

You got it wrong. - Two

people have been murdered.

A boy named Amrit

and Sadananda Sur has been killed.

Do you know them?

- By Jove, no.

I don't mingle with these

cheap idiots.

I should consider that you have

nothing to do with illegal arms.

Do you know Nafar Kundu? Do

you know Jamuna Das Gangaram?

You don't know anyone.

Yet you're here to investigate.

Mr. Bakshi, Nafar Kundu's good

pass by the railways.

No one cares to check it. Okay.

Good day, Mr. Bakshi.

What about your sacks of tea,

being sent to Kolkata!

Is it checked?

Your attitude speaks otherwise.

We'll leave, Mr. Das.

Mr. Ajit.

- Yes.

When will the case end?

- End!

We are beating about the bush.

We didn't even start.

In the forest episode, do you know

in which river Kunti put Karna in?

It was Ashwa river.

Strange! We are dealing

in episodes of horses too.

It was river Ashwa

in 'Mahabharata'

and it's a black horse here.

I'll go mad.

He doesn't have time to talk

to me.

I have asked him to get me

hair oil ever since we came here.

Look at him. He has set up

his world in the bottle of perfume.

I will go to Kolkata.

I'll go alone.

What? - You'll leave us

here in this unknown land!

What will I do now?

A well-stocked mind is free

from boredom.

There are many books here,

Satya.

Read them.

You'll have a good time.

I have been appointed by the

government for this case.

This is my responsibility

towards my nation.

If you refuse, I'll lose all

respect. Do you wish for that?

Did I mean that!

It would've been different

had you had an ordinary job.

Have a safe journey.

Okay! Don't make us worry.

What should I tell Mr. Sukhomoy?

What should I tell him

of your whereabouts?

Tell him I have gone

for hibernation.

Come this way.

You have to provide me

an information.

Did anyone by the name

of Sadananda Sur, come here?

He is from the rural areas.

He has a mole on his cheek.

He has been here even

few days back.

Yes.

- Where did he come to?

A man with a mole on his cheek

has been visiting us

for the past few months.

Whom did he meet here?

- He used to meet Gulab.

Gulab..

- Come along. - Okay.

"The heart lusts and craves

for you."

"The heart lusts and craves

for you."

"My lord, if you don't visit me"

"I shed tears and feel saddened."

"Don't reject a loving heart."

"Don't reject a loving heart.

Let the eyes meet."

"My young body craves for you."

"The heart lusts and craves for

you. My young body craves for you."

"The heart lusts and craves

for you."

"You are a jolly person, sir

and so am I."

"You are a jolly person,

sir and so am I."

"Elope with me, sweetheart.

Elope with me, sweetheart."

"I'll sway my hips to the tunes."

"I'll sway my hips

to the tunes."

"I'll sway my hips to the tunes."

"I'll sway my hips

to the tunes."

"Let your heart be as deadly

as snake venom."

"Let your heart be as

deadly as snake venom."

"Your love.."

"Your love has trapped me."

"The heart lusts and craves

for you."

"The heart lusts

and craves for you."

"The heart lusts and craves

for you."

"My lord, if you don't visit me"

"I shed tears and feel saddened."

"Don't reject a loving heart."

"Let the eyes meet."

"My young body craves for you."

"The heart lusts and craves

for you."

"My young body craves for you."

"The heart lusts and craves

for you."

Wow! What a performance!

- Great!

No one visits at this hour

without informing, sir.

Yes, I need something

from you.

Tell me, what you want.

Sadananda mentions you

quite often.

Who is Sadananda?

- Sadananda Sur.

He has a mole on his cheek.

Yes..

He visits me.

He comes with a friend

named Dinesh.

Mr. Dinesh Baral!

- Yes.

It's Dinesh Baral who is regular

at the racing fields.

How do you know Sadananda?

He is doing all these here.

His wife gets cross

whenever he bets on races.

Oh my God! He is a married man!

- Yes.

He is such a wicked man.

- Why?

Yes, who tells the truth

to a mistress like me!

Sadanand lied to me.

He said he has only a sister.

He said he has no one else

for family. - Yes, he has a trunk.

You'll be staying here,

right?

Yes, for a day.

Move aside.

What's the matter!

- There's always some issue.

We are fed up. We have

to manage it somehow.

Anyway I am here for you all.

- I'll leave, sir.

Then it will be done.

- Yes, you needn't worry.

It will be as you say.

- It will be either four or five.

Okay..

- I was thinking of it too.

I'll leave, sir.

- Yes.

Whom did you bet on?

- Yes?

Whom did you bet on? - I am

a happy go lucky person.

I bet on the horse who stood first

last time.

Black Prince was better.

No, Dinesh advised me.

So I played double gamble.

Who is Dinesh?

- Dinesh Baral.

You bet on a horse

abiding by Dinesh's words!

He and his jockey,

both are wasted. - Jockey!

Jockey..

It's his friend.

He mingled with..

Where is Dinesh?

I didn't spot him around.

Where he must be!

He lays intoxicated, by the stable.

However.. - Hey, mister.

I owe you.

Who is it?

- Police.

Answer me properly.

Do you know Sadanada Sur?

Yes, I know him.

He was regular at the

racing field, right?

Yes, he visited once or twice

every month.

He used to bet on horses.

He used to bet on the horses

as per my suggestion.

He used to lose sometimes.

He won too.

How did he get the money?

If you try acting over smart

you'll end up in jail.

How did he get the money?

I-I don't know, sir.

I'll tell you.. He got the

money from a friend of his.

Which friend? - His

name is Badrinath Das.

Sir, he got Sadananda

here. - Badrinath Das!

How long has he been visiting

this place?

Why should he come here?

The race course was home to him.

Y-Yes, sir.

He was a reputed jockey.

The horse performed excellently

under him.

Y-yes, he left everything

behind and went away, suddenly.

He returned

about five years later.

He owned tea plantations by then.

There was another man

from Sadananda village.

He races two horses.

He comes here too.

His name is Biswanath Mallick.

He'll return soon, right!

- Yes.

Had it been that I could've

reached

you via phone, everywhere!

How would it have been?

You are reading too much

of Arthur C Clarke.

It's science fiction.

People will be on the phone
