Your uncle is being framed.

I can save him

Wait outside

Send a note inside, Sergeant

I'm Sikdaar's niece. The Council

Member?

Now, Sergeant. Please

A private detective?

No...Yes

- Who hired you?

- The corpse's son

I mean Bhuvan Banerjee's son

- You say these letters are phony?

- The stamp proves it

The letters have been cut out from

the newspaper of that day

Look at the stamp.

Posted at 7:
30 am

I can get 5 people to swear on oath

that the newspapers don't arrive...

...at Bhuvan's lodge

before 8:
30 am

I can read now, thank you

Sikdaar's being framed

The dates on the letters coincide

with Bhuvan meeting Sikdaar

Bhuvan vanished that day. The letters

were dated after his murder

- Now do you believe me?

- When did you get the letters?

Mr. Wilkie, you can call me anyfime

if you want to harass me further

Can I go now?

- For now

- Thank you very much

Who is threatening you?

Not you, Mr. Bakshy

What is your take on the

Bosepukur murders?

Sir, this isn't the time

I have a warrant in your name

For impersonating an officer

Tea?

Going round in circles all day

Not a bloody tram

- Mr. Byomkesh

- I'll deal with you later

- Mister!

- I'll be back

The madman! He didn't pay me

Taxi! Let's go. Hurry

Where is Sikdaar?

I must talk to you

When did you get hold

of those letters?

May I see Mr. Sikdaar?

Gajanan...

...can't see anyone right now

No, he'll see me

If it wasn't for me,

he'd be rotting in jail

If it wasn't for you...

...none of this would

have happened

If it wasn't for you none of

this would have happened

You wanted to know when

I got the letters?

When?

The first day we met...

...that very morning

Listen

He wants to ask you something.

He saved your life

Did Mr. Bhuvan meet you

in her flat on 23 November?

N I baran!

- Call the doctor

- Save him, please

Save him!

Uncle...

Did Bhuvan come to see you?

Why? To blackmail you?

Uncle

99%

Strychnine poisoning

Send the soup to the lab.

The autopsy will tell us for sure

I'll check on Anguri Devi.

She's still in shock

Wherever there's a murder...

...you're never far away

- What is she saying?

- Nothing

- Trying to save her brother

- Brother?

In your presence, Sukumar...

...threatened his uncle

Stop us and we'll kill you

My brother is innocent

He couldn't murder anyone

I don't know if he could or not.

But I know he didn't

Did he know Mr. Bhuvan?

What were Sikdaar and Bhuvan

fighting about?

Your silence may...

...send your brother to the gallows

My brother doesn't care about

his life any more

Do you recognise this?

Strychnine

We found it in Sukumar's room

When you see Sukumar thank him...

...for keeping the poison where

anyone could find it

And threatening his uncle when

everyone could hear him

You made my father and me famous

They threw me out of the hostel

A blackmailer's son

Can I stay here?

Dr. Guha went out of town. He'll

be back by Spring Day

He left this for you

Your father was not a blackmailer

So then?

- What about Mr. Sikdaar?

- He was murdered

BY Whom?

I don't know. But it's the same man

who killed your father

He framed Sukumar

Open it!

- He faked the letters too

- Faked?

He made a fool of me

He even faked the postage stamp

- How?

- Nothing simpler

Bribe a poor postmaster,

write your letter

And add the date you want

And fool the moron Byomkesh

Bakshy...

"Yours truly, Dr. Anukul Guha"

Byomkesh, open the door!

He took off like a rocket and

rolled back like a deflated ball

He hasn't had a thing

to eat or drink

What's wrong?

Tummy ache

If only Dr. Guha were here to

give him medicine

Puntiram!

- The police followed you?

- I know how to lose them

My mother left me this jewelry

Just name your price

But find my brother

Why me?

A maiden in distress

Because you see things

My brother and my uncle

never saw eye to eye

Things really fell apart in

the past two months

They fought endlessly over

the Party

Finally my brother split the Party,

formed his own

Your uncle implied Sukumar was

under someone's influence

My brother had changed a lot

Even I could see it

When did Bhuvan Banerjee

start working with your uncle?

Two years ago. He'd come

to uncle's factory

He had some new machinery

installed there

Bhuvan installed the machines?

Yes

What's this?

Fries?

You said he had an upset tummy

Want to kill him?

Boil rice in yoghurt. I'll come

down and see to the rest

Go

When did you last see Sukumar?

When you came yesterday

You didn't pay the taxi fare

He took my taxi. Did you

tell the police?

- I told no one

- The taxi driver!

I'm off

The Whites call me bad names here

The mister is nuts

Don't you know him?

The Dy. Commissioner's

right-hand man

Does Sukumar have bad teeth?

No

How old are you?

24 years 5 months

I'm three months younger. I don't

need a dentist. Do you?

I know a brain surgeon

- How old are you?

- I don't need a dentist

Sukumar is our age

But he came to visit a dentist.

Dr. Watanabe

They left in a black car

He's been here before. Why?

Go home. I'll be in touch

- Let me drop...

- The helpless maiden

- Ever had a toothache, young man?

- No

Ever acted?

No

Dr. Watanabe

My brother is dying

The doctor is at the temple

We'll wait. He's in pain

After the temple, lunch

He doesn't treat anyone after lunch

He teaches Japanese

Come tomorrow

My brother is dying...

to learn Japanese

Which temple did you say?

Is that his style of pulling teeth

or teaching Japanese?

The question is...

...if Sukumar didn't need a dentist...

...why was he learning Japanese?

I beg your pardon

I was trying out my Japanese

It's bad

Your bad Japanese...

...is actually bad Chinese

Sir, same to same for me

This is Japanese

It's different

Who sent you?

Sukumar

Your former student

We're from his Party

We have little time before

Spring Day

Volunteers for the Spring Day Action,

register now

Dr. Guha will be back by Spring Day

Are you ready to kill...

...and be killed?

Answer me this

How many could you kill...

...for your country?

Byomkesh!

You here?

He says that Sukumar

sent him to me

Sukumar? But you're not

on the volunteers' list

Excuse me

Damn it

Let's go

What just happened?

Dr. Guha, Sukumar and Watanabe

are planning something

We almost found out what it was

I have to think.

I need some quiet

ls Sukumar's plan connected

to my father's murder?

Utterly connected

Something tells me - because

of this plan...

...your father vanished...

...and was murdered

And Gajanan Sikdaar was framed

When I found out,

Sikdaar was killed

Then Sukumar was framed.

Now he's on the run

He's plotting something big

on Spring Day

The whole chain is connected

to Spring Day

It starts with Bhuvan

and ends with Sukumar

- Get it?

- No

What about Dr. Guha?

Not what. Why?

Why did Dr. Guha do it?

And why admit it to me?

Keep moving

- Where to?

- To see Badal

- Badal?

- Our college theatre dress man

Why?

I want to be an actor
