Detective Byomkesh Bakshy! Page #6

Doling out medicine

to the poor

Your firebrand revolutionary guru...

...is a drug lord who's about to

make the deal of the century

While sending your boys to

their death

In the name of freedom

I don't know your real name

What shall I call you?

Yang Guang Jian?

The Sword of Rangoon?

Dr. Guha, the drug dealer?

Traitor

How about a cheat?

Bravo!

That was fun

Your hand

Give me your hand, Byomkesh

Puntiram, tea

Time for the truth, Doctor

The truth is that the people

sitting here, Mr. Bakshy...

...shan't live to see daybreak

Till then there's tea

Fried potatoes

And the story you're dying

to tell us

Go ahead

So the story goes...

Twelve years ago, the terror

of Shanghai

The drug dealer

Yang Guang comes to Calcutta

with his beautiful mistress

For eight years he rules over

South Asia from here

The Green Gang attack him

four years ago

They leave him for dead

That was some fight

Two months later, Dr. Guha buys

this lodging house

Puntiram, the recipes!

Bay leaves. Curry powder

Then?

You meet Bhuvan...

...who is mixing narcotics

with medicine

Then you both...

...make a plan together

I make the plan

Me

What plan? Tell

To cook a type of heroin...

...that's undetectable

Cook it in Sikdaar's factory

to avoid suspicion

A child could figure that out

Why? To what end?

I have a theory

Carry on. We're all ears

The Japanese want your heroin,

the Calcutta Kiss

And you, your drug empire

So you cut a deal

The Japanese attack Calcutta

on Spring Day...

...thanks to your opium route

Sikdaar forms the government

of Free Bengal

A puppet government

Under the control of

the Japanese and you

You export drugs openly

Calcutta becomes the world's

drug capital

You took this proposal to

the Japanese in Shanghai

Not a proposal

It's the future

Scum!

Spot on!

Perfect, isn't it?

No, sir

Not so perfect

You stole the Green Gang's

opium...

...to make heroin in Sikdaar's

factory

But perhaps you forgot to tell

Gajanan Sikdaar

Politicians! Yes, today.

No, tomorrow. Why risk it?

What happened between

you and Bhuvan?

What usually happens

Never mind

So Bhuvan goes to Anguri Devi's

flat to meet Sikdaar

He tells him what's going on

in his factory

Heroin manufacturing scares him.

He closes the factory

Gets bodyguards

But you gave your word

to the Japanese

The attack date was set

You incited Sukumar against Sikdaar

So the Party would split. You needed

volunteers for tomorrow

But no factory, plan collapses

Then?

Then I came into your life

My biggest weapon

The fool Byomkesh Bakshy

After I found Bhuvan's

paan box...

...you tried stopping me

by taking me...

...to the police station

Then you thought why not

kill two birds with one stone?

Throw me off

And repossess the factory

You cut out letters from

the newspaper...

...and framed Bhuvan as

the blackmailer

Sorry, I got the time wrong

on the stamp

I was in a hurry

Then you sent your secret weapon

to the factory to see me

Like tempting a dog with a bone

You dangled Anguri Devi

in front of Sikdaar...

...four years ago

You did the same with me

She pretended to hide the letters

Because I told you...

...that I always find what is hidden

After Sikdaar was dead, you sent

me the stamp...

...to confuse me

When I saw Watanabe, you appeared...

...as a freedom fighter

So Dr. Guha takes the blame

And Yang Guang is

never in the picture

We are tools for you

We do your dirty work

When I was your age...

...I was trusting too

You've learnt your lesson

You won't repeat

the same mistake

You didn't hear me right

You've forgotten. I said

you've all been betrayed

You, too

BY Whom?

By me

The river map for the attack

The police know everything

Wherever the Japanese will land...

...the army will welcome them

Our volunteers?

The police know everything

Except for your identity

Stop the attack and no one

will ever know

If the army knew...

...they'd already be here

You're bluffing

Let's kill the lot and go

No

Don't you know what a

Japanese attack means?

Darling

They destroyed my city,

my family. Everything

You knew that and still

hid it from me

Who gave you the right?

It's done

What's done is done

Whoever is to die

will now die

Stop the attack if you love me

Stop the attack

Would you shoot me?

Stop the attack!

Can you shoot me?

Do you love me or not?

Shoot

Do you love me or not?

Shoot, my love

Do you love me or not?

I do

What do you want?

To be together

To live together

Mr. Bakshy

The colour of truth?

Red

No one could sing like her

Should I kill you?

End it here

Too late, Doctor

Mr. Watanabe

That siren is for you

Your surprise attack has lost

its surprise

What will you do now?

Will you save your men

or let them die?

The army will be waiting for the

Japanese at every landing spot

Look up!

An enemy's enemy is a friend

My old friend!

I asked Dr. Guha to come here

I knew Yang Guang would show up,

so I called them

I want him alive

Mr. Watanabe

Stop the attack!

You have lost Calcutta

No one will stop him

You all promised

Why didn't you kill me sooner?

- Our volunteers will die

- I was bluffing

No one knows

I was bluffing

The police don't know

I just asked Wilkie to blow

the siren

Quiet!

Japanese...

It's 6 am. Everything is fine

No sound of firing

Dr. Guha?

The Green Gang took him

Thank Mr. Wilkie for me

If he raids the factory,

he may find the heroin

Go

I couldn't save her

You saved Calcutta, Byomkesh

I know your father was

a good man

He made the formula for fun

When he found out what

it could mean...

...he tried to stop it

It may also be - he fought with

Yang Guang over money

And went to tell Sikdaar

to rat on Yang Guang

Puntiram

The police must be on their way.

Make tea

With ginger?

Ginger

Wipe the blood

Don't touch a crime scene

Never mind the blood. Just tea

Let me get something to eat

You said if I helped your brother...

...you'd reward me

I saved him. See?

Reward?

N ow?

Ajit is all I have. I'll become

a professional truth-seeker

I have no property. No bank...

A factory siren

- Dr. Guha?

- Forget it

Calcutta looks beautiful at dawn

Kill him

Go on

Avenge your father, son

- Kill him

- Relax

He's a kid

His hand trembles

His heart races

- Don't listen to him

- Hear me

Nothing to it

There's only the knife and my eye

Hold tight

Strike!

Between us...

...we have one eye left

...and one thing separates us

You will be forgotten

You couldn't take my love

How will you take my hate
