'His deepest secret is at

the heart of the murder mystery...'

'that has rocked the entire nation.'

'Sir, everyone is looking for a

person called Gautam Das.'

'Are you that person?'

'Yes, I am.'

'I am Gautam Das. Yes.'

'Are you the father of Rina Burdhan?'

'Of course! Of course I am the

father of Rina Burdhan. Yes.'

- 'You're the father?'

- 'Yes, of course, I am.'

'Rina Burdhan is no more.

You know that?'

'Yes, I've read that.'

- 'I know.'

- 'Where did you read that?'

'I...'

'I read in the newspaper.'

'25th.'

'25th of this month?'

'Yes.'

'Mr. Das, we all want to know, who is

the biological father of Rina Burdhan?'

'Are you admitting that, you are

biological father of Rina Burdhan?'

'Yes, I am.'

'I am the father of...'

'Rina Burdhan, yes.'

'And you are also the

father of Leo Burdhan?'

'Of course, I am.'

'Of course.'

'Why didn't your marriage last?'

'You see, Ishani...'

'she was not

happy with me.'

'She...'

'I'm middle class. Her

expectations were much more.'

'She wanted to mix up with

high society people, so...'

'so, you know, she dumped me.'

'And what was your

immediate reaction...'

'Cut, cut, cut!'

- 'Just a second, cut it.'

- 'What happened?'

'No, please cut it.'

'I've a lot of information.'

'If you want information from

me, you need to give me money.'

'Okay can you give me one thing?'

'You know this Mr. Chatterjee,

who's making a film on Ishani...'

'I read it in the newspaper, so...'

'If you can give me his number...'

'or if you ask him to contact me.'

'I can give him a lot of information.'

'I know...'

'what's going on around,

what happened behind this killing.'

'I know everything, but...'

'he needs to buy me a flat.'

'If he does that, I'll give

him a lot of information.'

'Yes, I know.

I know a lot of things.'

'Yes.'

Don't cry. Don't cry, baby.

My baby, don't cry.

Don't cry. My little girl!

Goodness, Gautam, look at her!

Your face is pasted on her!

See!

See!

Daddy's little girl, right?

Looks exactly like her father!

- My baby!

- Yes.

Today I name her, 'Rina'.

Alright?

Can I please smoke?

This is a no smoking zone.

You smoke.

You both smoke.

I smelt it in your breath.

Give me a cigarette.

Please.

Thank you.

And then...

when Rina was

around two years old...

Gautam...

had changed a lot.

He was suspicious of me.

He became suspicious,

he used to think...

that when he goes to the office...

I bring someone home.

And have sex with him

every afternoon.

And he used to hit me.

He used beat me up everyday.

Here.

What's this fragrance?

- Who was here in the afternoon?

- As in?

No.

Someone was here.

The deo smells familiar.

Who came, Debasish, eh?

What nonsense!

Malati swept the floor.

She used phenyl.

Shut up!

Phenyl, huh?

Debasish was here, right?

Don't teach me phenyl!

- Gautam!

- Are you trying to teach me?

Phenyl, huh?

Teaching me the smell of Phenyl?

- Gautam!

- What 'Gautam'!

Debasish is like

a little brother to me.

You're not home all the time.

If I need medicines for Rina, or

something else, he helps me out.

You're suspecting him?

Shame on you!

Ashamed of what?

Don't you come out in front of

him in your skimpy nightwear?

He gives you a lot of pleasure,

isn't it?

You b*tch!

Stop speaking crap!

Showing your manliness

by hitting your wife?

But you're a dead snake

on the bed!

Stop tailing me and go

see a good doctor.

Who's there?

You?

You were off to work,

why did you come back?

And why were you

hiding there?

What?

You look gorgeous, who's

your date? Debasish?

I've to go.

I've to take Rina to the doctor.

To the doctor?

Making up stories

because I caught you?

Shut up!

You're a mental patient.

Really?

Am I mentally ill?

Now I am certain, there are many

more apart from Debasish.

Right?

Tell me the names?

Tell me the names,

one, two, three, four?

Get lost!

So you were sleeping

with Debasish too?

Oh, it's you, come in.

Got all the medicines?

Yes, got it all.

How much?

- How much?

- Five hundred and twenty.

Wow!

Here you are!

Huh?

- Gautam!

- What are you doing here?

- No...

- I told you not to come in.

Medicines? You can stand

outside and give it!

He brought Rina's medicines.

Not one word of

crap from you.

Hey, I asked you to

stay away.

Leave him, he's got Rina's medicines.

No medicines are required!

- Are you mad?

- What mad'?

Making up stories? Medicines?

He comes to give you medicines?

- Yes!

- No!

Didn't I say...

I'll catch you one day?

- You're going mad!

- Didn't I tell you?

Leave me!

- Leave me!

- B*tch!

After I left Gautam...

I realised I was pregnant.

But you said Gautam was

incapable of having sex?

It was my step-father's child.

Again!

He raped me again...

when I went back to Shillong.

Then I...

stayed in Shillong till the delivery.

And people again thought it

was Gautam's child.

Soon after that I came to Kolkata.

And that's when I met Shadab.

Then slowly and gradually

Shadab began to lose his business.

And was running out of money.

Ishani was a high maintenance wife.

And he knew he could

not provide her...

with all the luxury

which she had become used to.

The fight started.

And sometime within

the next month or so...

Ishani made up her

mind of leaving Shadab.

It was this time...

when she was

introduced to a wealthy socialite...

Allen Parcy.

Allen would provide her

with all the luxury...

in lieu of her

acting as an escort.

It was a relationship of convenience.

Both were happy.

And Ishani was meeting all the

powerful people that she wanted to.

And then one day, at a party,

she was introduced to Victor.

And the rest, everyone knows.

Why did you agree to come to

Mumbai and help Ishani...

after what she did to you?

Not Ishani.

Neeti.

I had not seen Neeti in ten years.

I hadn't seen my daughter.

I didn't have the

visiting rights to see her.

Wasn't your property going

to be probed by the bank.

What?

You idiot...

Ishani has confessed to everything.

It's time you open your mouth too.

- Or else...

- Listen.

There's a high demand for posh

blokes like you in the lock- up here.

Open your mouth nicely, or

you've to open something else.

Look...

I had lost a lot of money.

My...

my hotel was

mortgaged to the bank.

I had found an investor.

And he was willing to bail me

out of this financial crisis, but...

but it would take a month for

the deal to go through.

The bank didn't give me any time.

They gave me a seven

day court order to serve...

asking me to give them the

money within those seven days.

But no one was ready

to give me the money.

That's when...

Ishani called me and...

gave me an offer...

that she'll save my hotel from

getting mortgaged...

and give me money to

run the hotel.

And along with that she would...

also give me visiting rights...

to see Neeti.

So?

You agreed to kill Rina?

No.

No!

I didn't.

Ishani didn't tell me

anything about this murder.

In fact she told me that Rina and
