...you'll stand before...

...a firing squad in Fort William

Understand?

Satyawati's gone?

Where to?

I don't know

She got a letter from Mr. Sukumar

at 5 this morning

Someone came in a car

And you let her go?

I tried to stop her

She said she was going to

her brother

She said:
"Ask no more

if you want our safety"

Byomkesh, eat something

I let you down. And Satyawati

You need some fresh air

It's staring at me in the face,

yet...

Take a stroll in the park

This map is the key to Yang Guang

Or else take a boat ride

in the Ganges

One clue. Need one clue

What did you say?

What!

Ganges river

Puntiram!

You should be the detective

and me your idiot assistant

Where did I see this map before?

The route map of the Ganges

Get it?

Sukumar, Dr. Guha and Watanabe...

...have a plan linked to the river

Yang Guang is planning

something with the heroin

The two plans are connected

But what is this?

Where did you disappear?

When I came back,

you two were gone

Sorry. I lied to you

I'm not a drug dealer

I'm looking for a gangster

called Yang Guang

He was killed by the Green Gang

four years ago

What if the Green Gang hears that

I know Yang Guang is still alive?

This opium den is run by

the Green Gang

I've spread the word you have

information on Yang Guang

You're playing with our lives now

They're dangerous, Byomkesh

Ajit, please don't start a fight today

Yang Guang? Who?

The man sitting on your opium,

stolen 2 months ago

That Yang Guang

Why is he sitting on my opium,

good boy?

Answer!

We're both looking for

the same man

Let's work together

Kill them

What is it?

How did he know about the opium?

Only Yang Guang knows.

And we know

- He's tricking us

- Wait! The police know

He's Comm. Wilkie's man.

Kill a cop and we're dead

He's a cop

The police want to catch

Yang Guang through me

Kill us and forget about

Yang Guang...

...and your opium

What are these points?

Sahibkuthi Ghat, Budiganga

Ghat and...

...Kushi Ghat

His secret landing spots

He knew the river Ganges

by heart

- If he did, who is this map for?

- Who did you get it from?

A volunteer in Sukumar's Party

He has links with the Japanese

What is Sukumar's connection to

Yang Guang's opium route?

What is All India Radio doing here?

These roads lead off the river

Place this over the map of Calcutta

and these routes lead to...

Fort William, the Governor's House

The dockyard, the Writers' building

The scum

"I'm taking Calcutta back," he said

when he took out my eyes

The rascal. The chameleon

This is a plan for a Japanese...

...attack of Calcutta

Yang Guang will give them

full access to Calcutta

If the Japanese know Yang Guang's

secret route...

...no one could stop them

How can a drug lord make

deals with an army?

The Japanese army deals in every

shady business

Opium. Heroin

Yang Guang goes back

a long way with them

We have little time before

Spring Day

Run if you can...

...Calcutta finish

Tomorrow is Spring Day.

They attack

When he came to Rangoon

from Shanghai...

...we should've killed him then

Big mistake

Very big mistake

Are you from Rangoon?

- Yang Guang came from Rangoon?

- The Sword of Rangoon

In Cantonese:
Yang Guang Jian

What an actress you are

All that talk of love

Short on clothes. Long on sighs

When did you fall in love

with Yang Guang?

The day I first met him

I was only sixteen

Then you ran away with him and

came to Calcutta in 1931

I'd go anywhere if he asked me

And poison anyone if he asked you

You poisoned Sikdaar

The day I came by...

...you were feeding him soup

So you led me into the other room

To give the poison time to kill him

Four years ago he asked me...

...to wait for him. That's all

Since that day we've met hardly

four times

The day you went to Special

Branch to free Sikdaar...

I got a message. Kill him

That's the price for us being

together. I paid the price

I told you the first day, Byomkesh

Love and loyalty

This is neither love

Or loyalty

It's murder

He told me to watch out for you

Because if you thought I was hiding

something...

...you were bound to find it

Nothing escapes you

Yang Guang told you that?

You're risking your life, Byomkesh

The attack is in 5 hours. No choice

Tell the police. Don't go alone

If the police know, Sukumar and

his boys will face a firing squad

My man, Kanai, said you

saved his life

And that you could give me

Yang Guang

Yes

In return you must...

...blow every air raid siren

in Calcutta at 4 am

Can you?

Good evening, Mr. Wilkie

- Good evening, sir

- What a splendid costume

It happens to be my uniform,

Lord Sen

Do you want Yang Guang or not?

The Calcutta police is not

some Chinese gang

We don't do deals

I always believed the Calcutta police

protected Calcutta

- I did what I could

- Which side are you on?

Hurry! There's no time

I owe you. What do you want me

to do?

"Dr. Guha, you asked me to join

your war

"Mustering the courage takes time

"Ajit has accepted his father's death

"Ajit is a loyal and brave man. That's

why I send this letter through him

"You've been betrayed.

Your plan is in jeopardy

"Leave the factory now

with Sukumar and Ajit

"I'll wait for you at the lodge.

I'll explain later

"Yours, Byomkesh"

Don't let anyone down

till I signal

Do you have your service pistol?

Byomkesh, has something changed?

Only everything

I need Mr. Wilkie's signature

to get the revolver

- Do you want...

- No

Just in case we get killed...

...when did you guess that

I was a cop?

Since Opium street

Before we got arrested, the

plainclothes cop asked...

...if I knew Ching Ling. When we

first met you asked that too

It's your secret code to identify

your undercover men

You knew but you didn't let on

I'm learning. Now go

Better late than never. I'm very happy

V6!

Where are the others?

Gone home for the Spring Day break

- Your letter worried me

- I worry about you

Let's talk

I called you all here

for one reason

To tell you all...

...that you...

...have all been betrayed

Utterly betrayed

Betrayed?

How betrayed?

Betrayal No.1

Sukumar, what you take for your

fight for the country's freedom...

...it is not that at all

It's a drug deal

A heroin deal

Who betrayed us?

He has many names

Some say he's Chinese,

or Burmese

Some say he's dead,

others say he can't die

Demon. Devil. To me...

...he's an ordinary cheat

A traitor

A coward

Where is he?

Right here

Amongst us

Hiding

Betrayal No.2

Anguri Devi

You were betrayed too

The man who made you

another's mistress...

...made you lie and murder

The man who promised you'd

both leave Calcutta forever

That man is going nowhere.

He's staying right here

Sukumar, have you heard

of Yang Guang?

No

Before dying, my uncle...

Tried to tell me his name

Anguri Devi, have you heard

of Dr. Guha?

Amazing but you both know

him very well

The man you met only 4 times

in 4 years...

...is running a lodging house

3 miles away from you
