Detective Byomkesh Bakshy! Page #2

Find what?

My father's corpse?

Listen

The police chief says he's missing.

Why do you want him dead?

Case closed. Let's go

Mr. Bakshy

How did you know where

Ashwini had hidden...

...the paan box?

Easy. People can't help thinking

about what they're hiding

When I mentioned the paan box,

he left the table

I pushed him around a bit.

Watched his eyes

He gave himself away

Simple

If only I could learn to think

like you

Many talkers in this world.

Few doers

You look like a doer

If you need help, you can count

on me

There's a room in my lodge for you

It's your call

Going somewhere, mister?

Taxi?

Let him watch, Ruby.

Maybe he enjoys watching

Ruby, ask him...

...how he got in here. It's private

property

"No trespassing" sign here

ls there a sign outside his bedroom?

Could I just walk in

without asking?

I'm sorry. I didn't know

Finally...

...he apologises

Who does that...

Are you the owner?

I own nothing

Do you know the owner?

Or are you trespassing, too?

You really don't recognise me?

Madam!

Coconuts for you

Put them in the car

Mr. Sikdaar owns this property

I know him

Do you know Bhuvan Banerjee?

Who?

Thank you for the lift

Are you Mrs. Sikdaar?

Anguri Devi?

Are you from Rangoon?

Where can lfind Mr. Sikdaar?

You have a talent for being rude,

but must you be nosy too?

Mr. Bhuvan is missing. I need to

ask Mr. Sikdaar some questions

Where is he?

- Who are you?

- Byomkesh Bakshy

What do you mean...

..."missing"?

He left his lodgings on 29 November

But never came back

That was two months ago

I don't know any Mr. Bhuvan

I thought you were a fan of mine.

Or a Party member...

Party?

What world do you live in?

Gajanan Sikdaar? The Council Member?

Forever Bengal Party

Is this his factory?

She asked you to wait in her

make-up room

Gajanan Sikdaar

Council Member?

"I know what you're up to

"You had better see me or

everyone will know

"Last chance. Tonight at

the factory at 9"

What do you think?

Was someone trying to scare Sikdaar?

Not scare. Blackmail

What else?

The letters are cut out

from a newspaper

Look at the post office stamp

Chitpur Road

That's our post office

First letter 22 November, first post

The second letter

29 November. Same time

What happened that day?

That's the night Bhuvan vanished

- What newspapers do you get here?

- They all buy their own

- I read Basumati, Yugantar

- English newspapers?

- The Statesman

- Who buys it?

Bought it

Puntiram

Can't you keep the rubbish in order?

Here! English newspapers

December

November

- This means Mr. Bhuvan...

- ...was blackmailing Sikdaar

The second letter is dated

29 November

Asking Sikdaar to meet at

the factory at 9

Bhuvan left here at 8 and...

...never came back

I must meet Sikdaar

My uncle Gajanan Sikdaar has only

one concern - his own skin

We don't want him

Or his Party. A leader must

show the way

Our New Bengal Party will show

the way now

Freedom is our right.

We will seize it

We'll pay with our blood

Hail Bengal!

Participants in the Spring Day Action,

register now

Aren't you the new boarder?

You dressed my wound, remember?

Who was that?

Sukumar Ghosh... Sikdaar's nephew

Where is Gajanan Sikdaar?

Hiding. His nephewjust split

his Party

Special Branch is snooping around.

I had better warn Sukumar

I'm from Headquarters

- Special Branch. And you?

- The local station

ID?

- Why are you here?

- We're Mr.Sikdaar's bodyguards

Why?

Someone is after his life

I must question him. Wait outside.

Don't let any idiot in

Sukumar, you're making a mistake.

You'll regret it

You're saying that because

he's backing my Party

Fool! You don't know him.

I do

Uncle, say what you want.

It's too late

We're celebrating Spring Day

Fool. He's using you

Are you here to register?

Registration for the new Party

is outside

I'm here to see Sikdaar

Have you an appointment?

Why?

Are you his secretary?

No

My name is Byomkesh Bakshy

So?

I want to question him

about a murder

- Whose murder?

- Bhuvan Banerjee's

He worked at Mr. Sikdaar's factory

- You knew him?

- Who are you?

I told you. Don't have time

to waste

N I baran!

Try to stop us and we'll kill you

Who's here from Special Branch?

- I'm warning you

- Gajanan Sikdaar?

- What's all this?

- Do you know Bhuvan Banerjee?

- Go inside

- Why?

- Who are you?

- Why was he blackmailing you?

- What?

- Hey you!

I'm Sub-Inspector...

Are you mixed up with Bhuvan's

disappearance?

Get out!

- Who is that lady?

- Satyawati

Sukumar's sister

These people are big shots

Be careful

Your help has no sense.

I'll wait outside

You felt no shame stealing

from a woman's bag...

...so why be ashamed looking

at her in her bath?

Give me one

Don't get jumpy.

It's only a cigarette

It's a cheap brand

Why did Bhuvan's name scare you?

A few weeks ago a man came

to meet Gajanan

They talked for hours

behind closed doors

Gajanan came out alone

from the room

He was pale

I had never seen him so scared

I asked him about the visitor

He said he was Bhuvan Banerjee

The next day Gajanan locked up

the factory

Was Gajanan at the factory

on 29 November night?

We'll end up in jail

Despite Anguri's alibi...

...whatever happened,

happened at this factory

There is a guard around.

Watch him

We have the keys

Have you permission?

Are you from rat control?

You're from Munger?

Bhagalpur

Terrific!

Two-in-one

Rats giving trouble in there?

Plenty trouble. They die

They rot. They stink

Say something to me in English

Anything. Sound strict

My officer says he has a new poison

Gets rid of all pests in a flash

The paperwork for proper permissions

will take a month

Well?

- Are you really from Munger?

- Yes

What about your family? Home?

Cholera took my family. Cousins

took my house

Came to Calcutta when I was 15

A good lie is never far

from the truth

New machines. Idle for two months?

This is no dead rat, Byomkesh

Call Special Branch

He's been murdered

His throat was slit. Then a sword

sliced through him - neck to belly

My God!

That's Mr. Bhuvan's wife.

Second wife

Why?

But why?

Why?

May I?

You weren't at the crematorium

Want some paan?

Don't eat paan

Do you have Bhuvan's paan box?

What was Bhuvan like?

You would've got on well

He made his own paan mix

He gave it a name

"Calcutta Kiss"

Our first famous boarder

Read it

"A sensational murder and blackmail

case was solved by Bengal's pride...

"...the brave talented young

detective Byomkesh Bakshy"

Why did the paper come so late?

Late? It's the usual time

The paper comes now?

Sometimes even later.

Listen to this

"Broad chest, keen moustache,

eyes like embers...

You fool

"Our Sherlock Holmes..."

Taxi! Police Headquarters

Mister! Is this what we're doing

all day?

- DC Wilkie's office?

- Upstairs

Can I see the Dy. Commissioner?

- It's urgent

- You can't barge in

I'm a famous detective

Tell him I have a hot lead on

the Bosepukur murders
