Ebar Shabor

Mr. Shabor

- Yes.

Third floor. Mitali Ghosh.

Used to live in Pondicherry

There was a party here last night.

Right after... he's

the victim's uncle.

He's Shabor Dasgupta,

Assistant Commissioner of Police,

Lalbazaar, Detective Dept.

Come I'll lead you upstairs

Won't be necessary.

Come.

When did the party wrap up?

Around 1.30am

Who's this?

My nephew.

After everyone left,

my sister went to her bedroom

Up there.

She was tipsy.

I asked if I'd help...

Sherry?

Sherry, Vodka, whisky, everything.

I've never seen Di like-

What's Di?

My uncle's daughter

Was anyone taking photos

at the party last night?

Yes.

Get the photos immediately.

- Yes sir.

At what time did the party wrap up?

1.30... around 1.45.

I asked, if I should

accompany her...

Di, what's wrong with you?

You'll topple, shall I help?

Shut up.

Wait a bit Di, I'll

take you upstairs

Shut up!

I should have gone.

This is the victim's father.

Died seven months ago.

Barun Ghosh.

Natural death?

Yes, he's been unwell for long.

Suspected cancer.

Was admitted at a nursing home,

but the diagnosis was faulty.

Later he died of cerebral-

Find out about this law firm

Yes sir.

Who were the guests?

Bose is checking the list sir,

with some Haren who runs errands.

The perfume bottles were

broken to confuse the sniffer dogs.

All foreign. - Imported. - Eh?

The bottles were imported.

'Foreign' is wrong usage.

Pardon me, I'm from Jagabandhu

School, sir. It's Bengali medium.

So am I. What difference

does it make? Here, take this.

Mitali Ghosh tied the knot with

Mithu Mitra on the 9th of May, 2010.

Mithu Mitra.

May I get five minutes please?

- Yes.

Tea or coffee?

Mitali has been murdered!

I haven't been in touch

with her for a long time.

What do you do?

I'm an Accounts officer

at the UCO Bank.

Which branch?

Main office at Dalhousie.

Opposite the tea board building.

How long have you

been working there?

Around ten years.

At the same branch?

No, including transfers.

Mitali is your wife.

Was - She was? - Yes.

Divorced?

Why?

She never liked me much.

Good god! Why?

The marriage was a blunder.

I realised later.

I still don't know

why she disliked me.

I had to marry her

because of her father.

But people get married

to become fathers!

Barun Ghosh was Mitali's Father.

Good morning Mr. Mitra.

He was a customer at our bank.

'Morning. How've you been?

I'm okay. What's up with you?

- I'm good.

Just a minute.

Please sign on the reverse side.

Oh, yes.

Here.

Here's your Twenty Thousand.

All in notes of hundred,

as you always prefer.

Thank you. Thank you.

Can I say something

if you don't mind?

Yes of course!

Can you please give

me your phone number?

I need to talk to you in private.

Can you come to my place?

One minute.

Did you go to his house?

Yes

I won't force you

if you don't wish to.

I'm scared actually.

I have cancer.

I have six months at max.

Listen,

if you happen to like Mitali

I'll be relieved.

Of course she's such a beauty.

What's there to dislike?

So you agreed!

Didn't it ever occur

to you why he chose you?

I mean there could have

been better suitors no?

Also, Mr. Barun never

really had cancer.

That was diagnosed much later.

Mitali and I got married...

My illusions were shattered

the night of our marriage itself

What's wrong?

Don't touch me.

Father forced me to marry.

I don't believe in this marriage.

Just leave this place.

Mitali? What?

You don't understand English?

Stay where ever you wish,

do whatever you please,

just don't come near me.

You understand?

Don't touch me

Just don't touch me.

Get out from here.

Just get out!

Get out of this room!

What about sex?

I slept in the living room.

That lead to divorce.

- Yes.

I didn't keep touch.

Heard she lived in Pondicherry,

was into painting.

She didn't return to Kolkata

But you regularly sent her emails.

We have retrieved them.

But I don't even have her email id,

How could you retrieve them?

I lied.

Are you a black belt?

Yes, its my passion.

By profession you must

be a black mailer then.

What do you mean?

Mr. Mitra,

Barun Ghosh had two

false accounts in your bank.

Yes, under the names

of Pinaki Sharma and Rudra Sen

You blackmailed him

about the false accounts

and then forced him to

get his daughter married to you.

Why else would Barun

Ghosh choose you as a suitor?

You made this up too, right?

You're quick mister!

Many people possess false accounts.

Not a big deal. Mind getting

off my seat? I've to go.

Sure.

But I'll come for you again.

I know.

This is only the beginning.

But Mr. Shabor,

I'm not related to this murder.

Right after Mitali divorced you,

you felt vengeful.

And why not? You're a

strong man with a black belt

capable of timely revenge!

My keys.

Were you invited to the party?

- No.

I just went - Just like that?

A divorced wife who

did not invite you...

Listen, think, before you speak!

Forsaken husband,

inheritor of tons of money,

Neglected by a beautiful wife.

Enough.

Mr. Shabor, I haven't murdered her.

What if you haven't,

listen to how the story unfolds.

A party's on at the second floor

and you wait in ambush

at the floor above.

I wasn't aware of the party.

I left as soon as I came to know.

I met Mitali for the last time.

It was around 6.30 in the evening.

What's your alibi?

On my way out I bumped

into Khanika and Samiran

Hey Mithu, what's up with you?

Good.

Good.

I see you know what an alibi means.

'Morning.

So how was the night?

'That was great love.

Then I must stay on,

don't you think?

You know I've work to do today.

Do you?

- Yes.

Now you have work, you coward!

Aren't you scared of ghosts anymore?

Don't you remember how much

you pestered me to come last night?

Hey...

Khanika knows about this right?

Hey, I must have my morning tea!

The electric kettle and

the tea bags are kept there,

help yourself darling.

Stop staring at me like a moron,

and get the phone!

The sugar's kept in the side rack.

Yes, tell me...

- Tell me? What do you mean?

How can you have drunken parties

all night and wake up late everyday?

You will bring about my ruin.

Neither will you run the shop-

What has happened?

I'm telling you,

I'm leaving right now.

When will u go?

You rascal- Go to Mr. Verma

with the file you irresponsible fool!

His flight is at 11.30, if he leaves

before you reach we'll be doomed!

Alright. I'm leaving

Nothing's alright, reach within

fifteen minutes, miserable rascal!

If the income tax folks check us,

we'll have sticks up our asses!

Understand you stupid ass?

Of course not Mr.

Verma, I'm on my way, almost there.

Ya I'll reach you.

Who's at the door now? - Go in.

Should I check? - No, no. Stay in.

- Drama!

Who's there?

Samiran Bagchi?

- Oh! Yes.

Shabor Dasgupta,

Detective, Lalbazaar

Should I come in?

Must you? I mean,

Your girlfriend's in, I know.

Steps in at night,

and leaves in the morning.
