on the move!

Wouldn't it have been great?

- It would've been great.

Then the wait would've been

worth it.

Good morning. - There he is.

- You are done with hibernation!

Yes, it's done.

Did you start writing? - No..

I'll have tea. - I'll make tea.

- Should I make tea for you too?

Yes. - Here you are.

- My goodness.

You mustn't be getting

it here. - Oh! I feel relieved.

Did you find out something?

- Everyone seems to be a suspect.

Badrinath was a jockey.

He introduced Sadananda

to the racing fields.

Dinesh Baral met him

via Badrinath. - Oh!

He said he doesn't even

know Sadananda. - Wait.

It's not the end here. Biswanath

Mallick has two of his horses

running the races.

- What are you saying! - Yes.

Who knows who is concealed

where like Meghnad!

Where did I visit?

- Kolkata.

No, I mean what did Satya tell

them?

You had asked her to tell Sukhomoy

that you are hibernating.

What's the matter!

- Something had taken place!

Hello.

- Yes, hold on. He's here.

Someone is asking for you.

Hello. - Hello, Mr. Byomkesh.

This is Biswanath Mallick.

Are you busy? - Yes

say, Mr. Mallick.

Can you meet me today

at 4 p.m. at European Club?

I need to talk to you.

Good shot!

- Thank you.

I called you here for something

important.

I don't know if you are

aware of it.

Are you talking of the two horses

that run the races?

My goodness!

You surprised me.

How did you come to know

of it?

There are many things we need

to find out, Mr. Mallick.

Now tell me. What do you

want to let me know?

I.. - Mr. Mallick, have you joined

the cops?

You're finding arms

in European Club!

I don't know why Jamuna

is not here yet!

I think we can't talk here.

- Give me tea.

There's a desolated cemetery

nearby. We can have a word there..

Hey, you seeker of truth. Did you

proceed with the investigation?

Do you need more chances? - You'll

get to know when the bomb blasts!

Let's go.

This isn't very well-maintained.

This cemetery has a history.

You didn't bring me here to tell

me of the history, Mr. Mallick.

You're right. - I don't

know how to convey it to you!

Sadananda met me before going

to Kolkata.

He said something which I didn't

pay attention to, back then.

Now, after his death, it feels..

He said he saw a black horse

in the forest.

Yes.

- He saw a bodiless man

on the horse

dressed in black.

Do you believe in spirits?

- No, it's not that.

What exactly he witnessed..

- Who owns black horses here?

I have four horses.

One is chestnut and the other one

is white. The rest two..

They are at the racing course

in Kolkata.

Yes. - Here only one person owns

a black horse.

That's Sukumar Samanta.

That's not a ghost, Mr. Biswanath.

It's some human being.

To ride a horse

in the forest darkness..

It's quite difficult. - Yes.

- If the man is experienced..

Do you know why Badrinath Das

gave up being a jockey?

He lost a race on purpose

for a large amount of money.

He came here and bought

tea estates with the money.

He settled down here.

He introduced Sadananda

to the racing fields.

Isn't the friendship weird?

No, it's not weird if they

have a give and take policy.

They may be of use to each other

while dealing in illegal arms.

I should've informed

you earlier. Come.

Thank you.

Do you wish

to let Sukhomoy Samanta

of Badrinath Das?

How strange it is here!

It's sunny one moment

and raining the next.

I hope everything's fine. - You

all have a word. I'll be back.

Okay.

You aren't available these days.

You aren't reporting me

of your whereabouts.

Sadananda Sur was killed by a hand

grenade, right?

Yes, I know, you've been

to Bagmari.

I had asked you not to go

anywhere without informing me.

Why? Who do you

think you are?

I am a police officer

here. - Yes, maybe you are.

You have no right to dictate me,

Inspector.

The government has appointed me.

You are not helping me at all.

You are continuously causing

hindrances. I am warning you.

If I find you behaving awkwardly,

I'll have you fired.

No..

Hey, why should I cause hindrances?

You investigate as you

wish to. Investigate.

Who has horses in this village?

- Horses..

Badrinath Das, Biswanath Mallick

and Jamuna Das own horses.

Who owns a black horse?

- I own it. Why do you ask so?

Don't you know why? A bodiless man

roams the forest on a black horse.

Forest.. - I hope you understand.

I suspect you too.

Where is Amrit's post mortem

report?

Yes. He has been shot

with a bullet of point 38 calibre.

Excellent! It's

point 38 calibre.

Ajit! Wasn't it used during

the wars? - Yes, of course.

Do you know of Sadananda's sister?

I'll have to ask.

- Ask Sadananda? - No, why him?

I have to find out.

- You must.

Both Sadananda and Amrit have been

killed for illegal arms.

Is it due to enmity?

- Amrit had worked

for a few days for Badrinath,

Biswanath

and Jamuna.

He used to be kicked out

due to his weird behaviour.

Sadananda was into business.

He used to sell digestive pills.

Nothing more than this..

It's an ancestral house

yet the condition is pathetic.

Despite this, Sadananda used

to visit a place in Kolkata.

Despite having courage and desire

visiting the place

is beyond your economical limits.

How did Sadananda manage such huge

amount for entertainment?

'Jhalmuri'.. - Here you are.

You asked for me?

I need to have a word with you.

I don't get to leave

this place so..

Yes, say. - I couldn't

tell you, that day.

Sadananda has a relative here.

It's a few stations from here

at Ramdighi.

The trunk you mentioned

might be with them.

What do you mean by relatives!

- No, it's okay.

His name is Prankesto.

He is Sadananda's brother-in-law.

What kind of a human being is he!

He didn't even visit here

when his brother-in-law died.

It made me really cross..

There he is, no sooner

than I spoke of him.

Is it him?

- Yes. He is Prankesto.

Sadananda's brother-in-law.

He is a line inspector. Just

a minute. Hey, Mr. Prankesto.

What's the matter! You didn't

come when Sadananda died.

The police burnt his dead body.

Why should I come?

Don't I have work!

The one who was here, died.

Would he return!

He is speaking rubbish!

Hey, move on.. We are late.

How strange! He doesn't mourn

his brother-in-law's death.

Where does this man stay?

- He stays at Ramdighi,

near the junction.

- Oh. Fine. We'll leave. - Okay.

Is Mr. Biswanath Mallick here?

You all wait for some time. Sir

has gone out. He'll be back soon.

Who are you? - Yes?

- How long have you been here?

I have been here since

donkey's years.

You must be knowing Sadananda Sur.

- Yes, I do know him.

He used to visit sir, at times

to sell pills for dyslexia.

When did he last visit

this place? - Last..

How does he run his business?

- The business runs..

He borrowed Rs. 1,000

from sir, few days back.

He respects sir, a lot.

Who asked you to speak

so much, Nilkantha?

Go, get tea for them.

Come.

You can't find the arms!

I believe they are still
