All language subtitles for Peacock Lament 2022 720p HMA

These are not visiting hours.

Please leave before the doctor comes.

Are you feeling better?

Sometimes it's hard to breathe.

Don't cry.

You'll get better soon.

Brother,

can I hold Duminda for a moment?

You shouldn't tire yourself.

Give him to me.

Brother,

Mother's watching down on us

from wherever she is, isn't she?

A pretty girl, just like you.

Don't worry.

Everything is going to be fine.

We should send Nisha and Duminda

to an orphanage.

No, we can't do that!

Not forever.

Just for a little while.

Not even for a little while.

If we do,

our dead mother will curse us
from wherever she is.

I can't find the money
for the operation on my own.

I need your help too.

Then I'll help you.

If Nisha and Duminda are here,
one of us needs to stay with them.

Did you bring us to Colombo
to put us in an orphanage?

Is that what you want?

I've prescribed a new medication.

But the hospital has run out of it.

It's not cheap.

Bring it by this evening.

Miss, do you have this medication?

We do.

How many doses do you need?

How much is one dose?

10,000 rupees.

Let's go tomorrow too.

Okay.

But don't tell our brother
that we are earning money.

Why's that?

He wouldn't let us go if he knew.

But why?

He worries about you and Duminda.

Does he love us?

Ceylon Bank

Oh My Bag!

My bag!

Havelock City

You should come to Sri Lanka.

You can start your business here.

The government offers a lot of support.

Fine, fine.

Bye bye.

5,000 rupees please, sir.

Madam!

This medicine, please.

That will be 2,500 rupees.

Add these too.

Pharmacy

Alright, let's go.
Come on.

You could work for me if you'd like.

It's not like working in construction.

I can pay you well.

And what do you do, Madam?

Business.

If you're interested,
call the number on this card.

What's your brother's name?

Duminda.

- Isn't she adorable?
- She is indeed!

Madam...

Please tell her

to take good care of my baby.

If someday my daughter

says she wants to see me,

please give her this address.

Will I ever be able

to see my daughter again?

Where are you from, Amila?

Trincomalee.

That's a long way away.

What's wrong with your sister?

She has a hole in her heart.

Why do they want
to do the operation in India?

Can't it be done in Sri Lanka?

Since Inoka's condition is critical,

she needs experienced surgeons
to operate her,

says Dr. Mano.

Who is Dr Mano?

He is my sister's doctor.

Do you know how to drive?

Yes.

Do you have a driver's licence?

Yes.

Can you keep secrets?

This is from Madam Malani.

I trust I don't have to count it.

These gentlemen will accompany you.

Get into the lorry parked outside.

Doctor,

we mostly want women
who are expecting girls.

Clients from Sweden and the Netherlands
generally prefer baby girls.

Out of the three coming today,
two are expecting girls.

We don't know yet about the third.

Put your bags here.

Rajitha,

there are police everywhere.

Be careful.

Cheers, Madam Malani!

Cheers!

Don't panic.

Get out.

- Good evening, Sir.
- Good evening. Your ID.

Your licence.

- What's inside the lorry?
- Biscuits, sir.

Biscuits.

You may go.

Be careful.

You stay there.

Latha!

Take them inside.

Come with me.

This way.

Listen carefully.

Until your child is sold to a foreigner,

under no circumstances

can you go home.

Furthermore,

the use of cell phones is forbidden
in the Baby Farm.

If you have any problem,

talk to Latha.

Now, please hand over your cell phones.

Collect the phones.

Latha, hand out their uniforms.

Sri Lanka Police

They have caused disturbance

disrupting to the public order.

- We didn't disturb anyone.
- Shut up!

Sir...
What has happened?

They were begging

in public place.

- We weren't begging...
- I told you to shut up!

Take them away.

Brother!

Check the cardboard box at home.

All three of them will be
entrusted to child services.

Sir...

Please forgive us just this one time.

It won't happen again.

All of them are underage.

There's nothing I can do.

Begging and encouraging to do so
are both illegal.

For causing a public disturbance,

I could even put you in jail.

When did your father pass away?

Six years ago.

How did he die?

One night...

on his way home from work,

he was attacked

by a herd of elephants.

And your mother?

One night...

my father beat my mother

when he was very drunk.

He hit her in her stomach

very very hard.

She was crying all night

because of all the pain.

And then she died.

Where is your father now?

The police arrested him.

My mother

insisted again and again

that my stepfather settle
the mortgage on our property

and get our land back.

My stepfather

had taken out a secret mortgage

on our land.

My father

had worked so hard

to buy that land.

My mother kept demanding that
my stepfather settle the mortgage,

My stepfather was very angry

with my poor mother.

There is nothing I can do now.

They have been entrusted
to the officers.

They are from a very poor village.

This boy takes care of his entire family.

Had I known that you knew them

perhaps I could have done something.

I know,

you always try to help me.

My Boss sent this from China.

Let's meet up sometime.

In this period,

be extra careful.

Amila, wait here.

What's the problem?

Madam, I need to go home.

We want you to go home too.

My mother is in the hospital.

No one can leave until we're done.

You agreed to the conditions
and signed a contract.

Her condition is critical.

Don't try to fool me with your lies.
Is that clear?

Sirimeth Girls' Home

Your ID, please.

Can I check your bag?

- This way.
- Thank you.

Does he fuss much, miss?

Not at all.
He is very good.

I'll come back later.

Brother,

I want go home.

This is a good place, isn't it?

But we're not together.

When Inoka gets better,

we'll all go home.

Is she going to get better soon?

Of course she will.

Inoka!

Inoka...

Inoka...

Inoka...

Inoka is suffering from a condition

called tetralogy of Fallot.

Generally only infants
are affected by this disease.

It is rare in children of Inoka's age.

To save her life,

she should be operated
as soon as possible.

So what do you think?

I like them very much!

Yes, they're very cute.

- Let's go to the office?
- Yeah!

- Okay.
- Yeah.

Himali!

We need to hurry.

They need to go.

Don't touch my babies!

What's going on in here?

Please don't sell...

My kids, Madam.

We have spent

more than 600,000 rupees on you.

If you can pay that back,

you can take them home.

Amila, hurry up!

- Bye!
- Bye!

Priyantha, we found Nadee.

Rajitha!

Don't hit her.

Who the hell are you
to give me orders?

Let's take the photo!

You look beautiful.

Look straight.
Straight ahead.

Smile a little more.
Look this way.

Look here.

Please wait.

Look here.
That's it.

Smile.

When do you want the passports?

There's no rush.

Call me when they're ready.

Goodbye, Mr Nissanka.

I promise I'll bring you home soon.

Brother,

don't worry about us.

You should focus

on finding the money
for Inoka's operation.

I just wish

that I could help too.

Alright, get out.

Let's go in.

What is the name?

Mine?

Or hers?

Hers.

Kumari.

Which means...

"princess".

Your name...

is Nadee, right?

Yes.

That means

"river".

Do you want to hold her?

What?

Nothing.

Latha, get in on the other side.

What's wrong, Baddra?

- It hurts, Madam.
- Amila, drive faster.

Labour Room - Family Planning Clinic
Subfertility Clinic - IUI Centre

We tried to save
both the mother and child.

Her blood pressure was very high.

Sorry.

- She's so beautiful!
- She really is.

- We can pay them now.
- Ok.

Amila.

Bring Nadee and her daughter.

Nadee...

Come with me.

Everyone else, back to the room.

Don't worry about your child.

France is a wonderful country.

Nadee?

Chandra...

This is all

that I have

to give my daughter.

Please feed her this.

At first,

I wanted to have an abortion.

My mother told me
ending a life is a great sin.

She was always against it.

Despite her wishes,

in the end

I decided to abort the baby.

That's why I went to Dr Prasad.

He said it was too late

to terminate the pregnancy.

He's the one who sent me
to Madam Malani.

Why did you want
to abort the baby?

Why?

Does the baby...

not have a father?

When we were young,
our father died.

To support the family,

our mother had to remarry.

She left my sister and me
with our stepfather

for a job in the Middle East.

He was supposed to take care of us.

He is the one who raped me.

I always cursed the baby inside me.

But at the hospital

when I saw her face for the first time,

suddenly everything changed.

That's when I realised

how much I love my child.

No matter who her father is,
she's my daughter.

Madam,

please give me our passports.

Why?
What's the rush?

I want to leave this job.

I can't do this anymore.

How will you pay
for your sister's operation?

This is a dirty business.

Watch your mouth.

I don't want to be a criminal

selling the poor children
of innocent mothers!

What did you say?

I won't give you your passports.

Get them if you can!

Your T-shirt is very beautiful.

Brother,

would you bring

Susantha, Nisha and Duminda?

I want to see them.

The doctor said

not to bring any outsiders

because they could infect you.

I'll ask the doctor.

If he says yes,

I'll bring them next time.

If my mother remarried,

I thought that my sister

and my brother

would lose their mother's love and care.

The man my mother was seeing

didn't even have a proper job.

He was an alcoholic.

However, despite all my protests,

my mother married him.

I was so angry with my mother,

I tried to stab her
with a knife three times.

Luckily, I never succeeded.

I finally decided

to run away to Colombo.

I never went back home

until my mother's death.

When my father died

my mother was 37.

Even a mother is a woman,

with needs and emotions,

looking for happiness and protection.

I understand that now.

When did your mother die?

About six months ago.

lf I had never left my village,

my mother would still be alive.

I lost my mother.

I can't lose my sister too.

Bye, Malani.

Madam, why did you choose this job?

I didn't choose it.

I was dragged into it.

Fifteen years ago,
I worked in a hotel in Colombo.

That's where I met my Chinese boss.

I'd just separated from my husband.

I had a lot of financial problems then.

My boss helped me
take care of them.

He started this business
with European partners.

He needed someone trustworthy
to manage things.

Don't you think
what you're doing is wrong?

It's painful for a mother
to give her child away.

But most women don't think about that
until they see their baby.

Many of the women who come to us

want to abort the fetus.

What I do

is protect the lives
of these unborn human beings

and secure them the chance

to live a good life in a good country.

I don't think that's a crime.

Do you have children, Madam?

Three years ago,

I lost my only child

in a road accident.

The T-shirt you're wearing was his.

The patient is in critical condition.

She is deteriorating
faster than we expected.

How much time do we have left

to get the money for her surgery?

I can't give you a definite answer.

But the sooner the better,
even today if you can.

She is in urgent need of medication.

Stop by my room when you leave.

Miss...

- Come and collect her records.
- Okay, sir.

Medical Center

- Give this to Madam Malani.
- Okay, doctor.

Come with me.

Don't fall into cunning men's traps

and ruin your lives anymore.

Try to be prudent from now on.

- Take them.
- Okay, doctor.

Get into the lorry parked out front.

Open the door.

Take that box.

Open this.

That one!

- This one, sir?
- The one below it.

Open it.

Open this packet.

Unload all these boxes.

What is this door?

Open it.

Where are you taking these girls?

Everyone, get out!

Alright everyone, get in.

Shit.

Hello, sis...

Hey, put that phone away!

Sorry, sir.

Where is she now?

- I don't know.
- Tell us the truth!

I don't know, sir.

Tell us the truth.

Where is Malani hiding?

I don't know, sir.

Nalin let's go.

Leave the country as soon as possible.

Go to Singapore, at least.

Don't call me again.

Anura, wait here.

Here you go, Malani.

India

Operating Theatre Complex

Okay.

Right.

Okay, okay.

I want my siblings

to be released from the orphanage.

They don't like the orphanage.

I was told that if they have a guardian,

they're free to leave.

When someone dies,

it is their final thoughts
that determine their next life.

Some people are born

into inhuman worlds after their death.

If your deceased parents or relatives

are wandering in the world
as non-humans,

may your meritorious acts today

set them free.

Let us perform the water pouring ritual
to transfer karma to your loved ones.

Dear Amila,

I hope you are well.

I managed to free the property
from the mortgage.

I'm pleased about that.

Susantha and Inoka
are back in school again.

Nisha has started nursery school.

I think that Duminda believes
I'm his mother.

I'm planning to visit you next month.

May Buddha bless you.

Your loving Nadee.
