Original subtitles

Pass it to me.

Here.

Bye.

Hmm. Bye.

Roar!

COURAGE IS HER NAME

-I can't take it anymore! -Don't care!

-You owe me an explanation. -F**k off!

-You can't do all this at home. -It's my house!

(indistinct quarrelling)

Don't be scared. Come to me.

Come on.

(quarrel continuing)

Madam?

Madam.

Madam!

Lost in your thoughts?

Ring the doorbell.

Oh! Can't even do that.

I'll ring it.

-Who the hell is it? -Open up!

-Who is it? -Open the door, scoundrel!

Open up!

-What do you want? -Wife beater, huh?

-I was just drinking. -Come with us.

-Oh, sure. -What did I do?

We'll give you a drink at the station now.

Are you going to take my dad to jail?

What your dad did was wrong, wasn't it?

What will happen to Mom?

She'll be right here.

With you.

You have to take care of her.

You're a brave girl.

But if I feel scared again, will you come?

Absolutely.

I'll be here even before you call.

I have a night shift. Why will you stay up all night too?

You've never been in love. You won't get it.

Does your wife know you're in love with me?

My wife doesn't care about me. She's busy catching goons.

Oh please. I've been alone here for 15 minutes.

Don't even know who we're going after.

Why alone? Where are the others?

At the police station.

Boral asked me to wait here.

Oh, dear!

I'm hanging up. Boral is here.

I've had dinner.

I'll be late. You should go to sleep.

Okay.

Sir, where are we going?

Picnic.

You're on the night shift. Didn't you bring tea?

I thought your wife packed some. She didn't?

Drive faster.

Poisoned herself.

Insecticide that's used on plants.

Trouble with the new in-laws?

No.

How much dowry did you take?

What rubbish!

We are a respectable family.

Falguni's father and I are childhood friends.

Besides, it was a love marriage.

Isn't this Falguni's second marriage?

Yes.

How was she doing mentally?

Like any other woman. Weak.

A second marriage, at that.

Guilt led to suicide. It's simple math.

A second marriage is no crime that the guilt would kill her.

Will you get the register from the car, please?

Please?

A**hole!

So, should we call the forensic team or not?

What do you mean?

Her family is already on the way.

Dealing with them will be a headache for you.

You are a respectable family.

Scandals, gossip...

The media will come...

Blah, blah, blah.

We don't want that.

That's right.

I'll handle this matter privately.

Oh, it's you!

It's 10 o'clock. Still haven't opened the shop?

I went to bed late, so I woke up late today.

Oh. Alright.

-I'll get going. -Sure.

I'll give you the rent in the evening.

That's alright.

What did Boral sir say?

What do you think?

Falguni was an educated, independent woman.

Married for love, mother of a child.

Why the hell would she kill herself?

That too on her wedding night after going through all the hassle?

But there was no one else in the room.

So it must be suicide.

Or maybe it's staged.

As if Boral will use his brains.

Hey, keep it down.

His lackeys are right behind us.

Last night, Boral sir totally screwed the madam over.

I want to too!

Even her husband can't screw her.

Boral sir getting all the action.

Bloody swine!

Chitra, come here.

He's going to screw her over again.

Keep a cool head.

Sit.

Didn't I tell you not to talk back to me?

Are you deaf?

I had a question, so I asked.

You will not ask.

On the field, you will do nothing but follow my orders.

Why bother investigating a suicide case?

Sir, why would she kill herself?

A second marriage isn't shameful that one would die for it.

Listen.

Come here.

Not everyone is as shameless as your mother

who left her child and eloped with another man.

Your father and I were at the same police station.

I saw what that did to him.

You got this job because of your father.

Don't be so cocky.

Your mother ran away because your father was always absent.

You're married now. Focus on that.

Otherwise, one day, your husband will also run away.

Go order some cold drink for me.

(indistinct chatter)

Dad, where is Mom?

Mom is gone.

From now on, Chitra's dad will drive her to and from school.

Come.

Sorry, did I wake you up?

Asked you to send cold drinks but as usual, you forgot.

No problem.

Splash some water on your face and prepare Falguni's suicide report.

Sir, I think we should wait for the autopsy report.

To hell with what you think.

Just follow my orders.

Bloody jerk!

How long were you and Falguni together?

Two years.

Did it ever seem like...

your relationship or something else could've driven her to suicide?

No. Falguni wasn't like that.

Are you drunk?

Yes.

Falguni knew.

I never did anything without telling her.

Who entered the room first?

Me.

Any trouble with Falguni's ex-husband--

Not at all.

They had a mutual divorce.

How was Falguni doing of late?

She was busy with her work and her son.

Do you remember what she last ate?

-Food from your house. -What?

The food that came from your house. That's what she last ate.

Chitra? Chitra!

You got food from home.

Chitra! I've been calling you! You got food from home.

Such a good husband. Sent food from home.

Hey, weren't you supposed to have lunch at home?

It's your anniversary.

Chirayu?

-Huh? -It's me.

Sorry.

Here's the rent. Please count it.

You are a good kid.

You put the money in an envelope.

When someone does that, you don't count it.

Please have a seat.

No, it's alright.

My wife sent some food for you.

Every month I wait for this.

But never had the chance to meet her.

Uncle.

-This is for aunty. -Oh!

Tell her I didn't suffer any loss. It's to make up for the food.

Alright.

-See you. -Yes.

Eat up.

-Here, have some tea. -Please have.

Dig in.

Here you are.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Where are you going with the plate?

-Oh, let him eat. -It's okay.

He took all of it.

We are here to celebrate your wedding anniversary

and this is when you come?

Sister.

What's your duty shift now?

Night or day?

In an emergency, we have no fixed schedule.

Okay go freshen up.

She said there's an emergency.

What emergency? A murder?

Here we go again.

Bride killed herself on her wedding night.

Was there no other officer?

Dad, please. Stop supporting them blindly.

A police officer's job is not like other jobs.

You were a cop too. Don't you know?

Let it go, sis.

I'll go back to Mayapur!

Then you can play cop all over the city.

Please stop blackmailing us at the drop of a hat.

Then hang me on this offense.

Let it be, sis. Join us.

-Oh gosh! -What happened?

My chest hurts.

-I think I'm having a heart attack. -Drink water.

Mother.

-Mother. -Hmm?

Heart is on the left side.

Look at her!

Give me that.

Look at that! He's so generous.

Got a gift for his wife.

And look at her.

-Busy working all the time! -Oh, stop it now.

Boral didn't even investigate properly.

When I questioned him, he publicly said

"Not everyone is as shameless as your mother. "

Seeing a man for the first time?

Do you know how insecure men get when women do well in life?

At office, at home, on the streets...

there are Borals everywhere, Chitra.

You have to deal with them very calmly.

They wait for you to make a mistake.

So they can claim women are useless.

Chitra!

No news channel is covering it properly.

(TV playing)

No channel is covering it.

They are keeping it under wraps. High-profile family.

Back in our day, there was no such thing as suicide.

Women need to have some endurance.

Some minor trouble and she killed herself!

That has decreased since Covid.

The exact same thing happened seven months ago.

The bride died on her wedding night.

I'll get another round of tea.

Black tea for me.

I know. And milk tea for the young master?

Nothing for me. I'll have dinner soon.

Black tea, no sugar for me.

Hey, what's on your mind?

What did you say?

A bride died by suicide on her wedding night?

Yes.

In Bashapur. Near my place.

I was hired to cook for the wedding.

For four days.

Rs. 500 daily.

Hey, are you sure?

Yes, of course. I saw it myself.

(song playing)

What happened, Brother?

Hmm?

Did someone do something?

They hit me.

Where?

On my head.

Let me see.

Tomorrow at school, show me who hit you.

I'll take their eye out!

The person you're calling is not answering.

Please try--

Didn't answer.

He'll call back.

He should be ashamed.

Couldn't solve the case himself, so he sent a lady officer.

Hmm.

Boral.

Can't solve the case without my help?

Your SI wants details on a suicide case in my area.

Were you embarrassed to come yourself?

Uh...

Basu. Chitra Basu.

No, I'll pass your message to her.

Tell me.

Fine but don't start hurling abuses.

Tell me if Boral scolds you. I'll scold him.

Seven months ago, Tania Basu died by suicide exactly the same--

What you've done is called insubordination.

Just you wait...

I will get you suspended.

-Sir, the similarities---Shut up!

Hey!

Who asked you to find similarities?

Huh?

Come fast!

Okay, sir.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Let me know if you need anything.

Come back any time. I'm here for you.

COURAGE IS HER NAME

Chirayu?

-Oh, Subhankar. -Is the bouquet ready?

Yes, your sunflowers are tired of waiting for you.

The other day, I ordered lilies online.

A mix of white and pink.

A total fail!

But your bouquets can resolve any fight.

My bouquets have fixed many heart aches.

I agree.

Anyway, how much?

I'll message you. You can pay online.

-Online? -Hmm.

Okay then.

You've been giving her flowers for six months.

When are you getting married?

I can't quite muster the courage to pop the question.

My heart starts racing.

But I will do it. Soon.

Let me know first. I'll make a special bouquet.

Yes.

Your responsibility to decorate the bed on my wedding night.

Of course.

Here you go.

Your bouquet is ready.

-Good enough? -Beautiful!

I'll get going. Let me know how much.

-See you. -Yes.

Does your dad know?

How Boral harasses you?

No.

Don't tell him.

Boral sir was my dad's junior.

He's mad at your dad. Takes it out on you.

Because your dad scolded him all the time.

Useless.

Idiot!

Falguni died on her wedding bed.

Tania died the same way.

Question her family.

How?

Before I could get any information, I was called back.

You know what I think?

Someone's poisoning new brides.

It's all bloody planned!

Police think the Falguni suicide case is a murder.

A female cop is doing some digging around.

Her name is SI Chitra Basu.

(singing)

PICHHUDAAK

NEW BRIDE DIES MYSTERIOUSLY SI CHITRA BASU SUSPECTS MURDER

It's obviously a murder!

Cops called it a suicide to hush it up.

Now that the truth's out, they'll face the consequences.

But who leaked it?

The papers say it was SI Chitra Basu.

-Oh! -Yes.

Kolkata-based bride.

Height: five feet, four inches.

Divorcee.

What's going on? Why is the boss here?

Ma'am is here.

What's wrong?

Go inside.

-May I come in, sir? -Hmm.

Here she is.

What else will you do for attention?

Taken to newspapers or online?

Did you say that Falguni Sadhukha was murdered?

I think she was, sir.

Seven months ago, the same thing happened in Bashapur.

What connects the two incidents?

What proof do you have?

Sir, it's my theory.

Theory?

Rubbish!

-Boral. -Sir?

Send a report of the incident to the headquarters.

Yes, sir.

She's suspended.

Sir?

Incompetent!

-(song playing on TV) -(singing)

Listen to me.

The police station is where all information is traded.

Who you talk to and about what

is entirely up to you.

But you have to speak wisely.

Given the position you are in, you can't afford to be careless.

Hey, my phone...

Give it to me. Go for your bath.

This is how you've ruined your eyes.

Let's tell Boral's wife what he's up to.

Check if the mutton is properly cooked.

She's still lost in thought.

Don't panic.

Life will throw many storms at you. Can't get scared.

-It's not cooked. -It's not?

-I'll put it back to boil. -Two more whistles.

Others will take advantage if you're scared.

They'll pressurise you.

I couldn't handle it.

But you've been strong since you were a kid.

You'll get right back up.

-Hey, put some chilli too. -Hmm.

-Should I start? -Yes, sir.

She's a junior officer, you see.

Got carried away by emotions.

I'll be submitting a report anyway.

She's now on suspension.

Thing is...

There are so many crime thrillers these days.

TV shows, web series, or whatever they're called.

Everyone's watching.

People cook up stories and it spreads like wild fire.

What's that proverb?

It's a 'cock and cow story'.

But we have the situation under control.

Hey, I'm quite photogenic.

Aren't I?

Don't believe or spread rumours...

Your dad's very lucky.

He's got a princely son-in-law like me.

That's it. Everything is alright.

I've got an idea.

Let's take a trip to the mountains.

We'll cosy up and have some hot noodles.

What must the boss have thought?

He held my dad in high regard.

How about Gangtok?

There are Tibetan monasteries.

We'll meditate with skull caps on.

Good for the heart and soul.

I don't think your family wants me to work anymore.

When does it snow in Gangtok?

You'll dance on the snow in a chiffon saree.

On the frozen Changu Lake. And I'll sing.

I'm really upset. Kiss me.

Of course, you heard this.

You're such a fraud.

My family shouldn't expect a baby from us.

Can't even kiss in peace.

Who is it?

Your boss is here.

Seems a little drunk.

He's calling you. Come.

Damn it!

Sir, you're here at this hour?

Good evening, sir. Please come inside.

Good evening. Can't go in today.

Come with me.

-It's urgent. -Give me two minutes.

Why are you going back inside?

-My uniform. -No need. Just come.

Good evening.

Chitra, come.

Get in.

Sit in the front, Boral.

Chitra.

What's your theory?

Sir, I made a huge mistake.

I was discussing a possibility. Someone overheard.

I'll be very careful from now on.

I asked, what's your theory?

In exactly the same pattern, seven months ago in Bashapur...

a bride died by suicide on her wedding night.

Second marriage for both victims.

Both were mothers.

The suicide method is the same too.

Poison.

What do you think we should do?

Immediately start victim profiling.

So, you think there will be more cases?

Yes, sir. There will be more.

Hmm.

(indistinct chatter)

Boral, no need to go inside.

Stay in the car.

If the press come, you can handle them.

You are very good at that.

Sir...

And you were right.

There's been another death.

Come with me.

(humming)

(song playing)

Come on.

-Why are you getting so mad? -Let go!

Forgive me one last time.

I made a mistake.

-It hurts! -Won't do it again.

A "mistake"? That brute!

Dad, just don't engage.

Let go of me.

I'll file a police complaint against you.

I'll send you to jail.

Give me any punishment you want.

-Let go of the suitcase. -I'll accept whatever you say.

But at least stay for our kids.

-They're not at fault. -Let go!

The kids are not hers alone.

Why should she bear all responsibility?

Move.

We won't survive without you.

Please don't leave.

How will the kids live without their mother?

I'm begging you.

I'll fall at your feet.

Please stay. Please!

COURAGE IS HER NAME

Here.

Hope you weren't noisy in the kitchen while making tea.

Not at all.

Mom, aunty, everyone is still fast asleep.

Give me a biscuit. I'm hungry.

Hmm.

One more.

What about your suspension?

I don't know.

I've been called to the headquarters.

Let's see.

Hmm.

That's good. Why are you worried?

I've done my homework but...

Can I give you a suggestion?

Sure.

Just forget about what Boral said.

Boral is only senior in age.

He's not your senior in rank.

He dominated you because you were in his comfort zone.

But you are out of his reach now.

Just focus on your work.

Okay?

(indistinct chatter)

-Where should I put these? -Right here.

Set up the other side.

-Make sure it looks good. -Yes, sir.

You like this design, right?

Will you exchange garlands during the registration?

That's the trend.

Absolutely not.

It'll be a simple affair. People will eat and leave.

Will you at least put vermillion?

Can't put a ton of vermillion now.

You've made me fast since morning.

My head is spinning.

Mom!

Will you still love me after you get married?

Yes.

But has someone said anything?

My friends said you won't love me anymore.

They are just kidding, dear.

I will always love you the most.

Go freshen up. We will eat together, okay?

Hmm.

-Mishti, go get her changed. -Yes.

Go, get changed.

Was it really necessary to send her to school today?

She can't drop out of school, can she?

Sit.

Hmm.

-Good morning. -(all) Good morning, sir.

-Good morning to you too, Dheeraj. -Good morning, sir.

-Goutam Gorai, homicide expert. -Hello.

Arul Sen, from forensics.

-Hello, sir. -Nice.

And I am Dheeraj Sinha, sir. IPS 2009.

Batch topper, sir.

Update on the case?

Sir, we found sweets and chocolates in the room.

But they were not poisoned. I've checked.

We're testing the wedding food. We'll get the report by evening.

After we get the autopsy report, we can do a more detailed analysis.

Okay.

Sir, I've spoken with Falguni and Shreya's ex-husbands.

Nothing noteworthy.

Still, I've kept an eye on them.

Sir, we'll need a room at the headquarters.

It's a thriller, after all.

Need some peace and quiet.

Won't get the feel otherwise.

Alright. A room can be arranged.

I'm recommending someone new to your team.

Who?

Sub-inspector Chitra Basu.

She was the first to detect that these weren't suicides

but murders.

Anyone could do that. Simple case.

No, not everyone could do it.

Look what she's doing, sir.

She's smelling her breath.

Planning to kiss someone?

Sorry, sir.

What if she faints in the post-mortem room?

We have so much work and you're making us babysit?

Dheeraj, she's in the team.

Having a woman on the team will be very helpful.

It's my order.

Sir.

Come on.

Get ready to hear about sarees, lipstick and periods.

Hello.

Recently, Chitra's behaviour has changed.

She's become very short-tempered.

Today a classmate probably said something about her mother.

And she broke her head!

Please try to spend some more time with her.

Sure.

-Sorry. -Okay.

-Hello. -Did you get selected?

I'm waiting outside.

Are you worried?

A little.

Sir asked me to wait outside.

Don't you worry!

Did you take your lunch?

-Madam. -Yes?

If you're done, may we proceed?

Right.

We've formed a SIT, Special Investigation Team.

Led by ACP Dheeraj Sinha.

The other members are...

...bright officer of the homicide department, Goutam Gorai.

Forensic officer, Arul Sen.

And SI Chitra Basu.

We will give you regular updates.

Thank you.

Arrange these serially.

Take Shreya's photo...

-Give me that. -What's that?

Shreya.

Take this.

Give me the forensic photos.

How did you get this job?

Were you passionate about it since childhood?

Hmm.

Dad was in the police force too.

Hmm.

Did you leak that murder theory to the newspapers?

But your name was out in the papers.

Chatting on the phone.

Gossiping.

Smelling your breath.

And staring blankly like a dead fish.

Anything else you can do?

May I?

Of course.

-Pay attention, guys. -Yes, sir.

She has something to say.

Sorry, sir.

Go on.

We need to create a victim profile.

The killer is targeting women who got married a second time

and have children.

The last two murders were in Garia and Patuli.

We can start victim profiling in these locations.

Just one thing seems odd.

The first victim was Tania, seven months ago.

That was in Bashapur.

I don't think that murder was planned.

So, the location was far.

We need to find out upcoming auspicious wedding dates.

Those are the possible dates for the next murder.

Then we need to check with marriage registrars

about second marriages in these areas.

Well done.

Get to work.

The 16th, 17th, 18th and 19th.

Dates from the internet and the almanac matching?

Sir, 16th, 17th, 18th and 19th. And 26th and 27th next month.

Today is the 19th.

-Arul? -Same, sir.

I've made a list of marriage registrars in South Kolkata.

If we call them, we'll find out the details.

No.

No one can stop your Banga Ratna award.

Hello?

Sure, I will officiate the wedding.

When do you want to get married?

Second marriage?

You have to submit a three-month notice.

Why did your first marriage end?

No, ma'am. No second marriage today.

No, I don't have any bookings today.

No, no bookings today.

Nonsense! Hang up!

Yes, I just got to the wedding.

-It's the bride's second marriage. -Name and address, please.

(indistinct chatter)

Don't take your eyes off the bride.

Hmm.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Keep an eye here.

I'll be on the roof.

Hey, juice.

-I'll be at the back. -Hmm.

Is this seat taken?

Go ahead.

I feel like I've seen you somewhere.

You're in the new police team, right?

Saw you on TV.

What brings you here?

There won't be any trouble here, I hope.

I'm here to ensure there's no trouble.

Thank you.

How terrible!

Are the suicides really staged?

Then again, some people...

can do anything.

What happened?

Mom!

(indistinct chatter)

Let me through! Move!

(song playing)

Mom?

(song playing)

-Is it good? -Hmm.

Yes.

Have some more.

I'll get the rice pudding.

Hmm.

-It's so tasty! -Hmm.

Are you upset?

Huh?

It's a good thing your mom left.

Otherwise, you'd have turned out just like her.

Filthy.

Filthy from within.

Not once did she think about us.

What kind of a mother is she?

How can she leave her children?

Have some rice pudding.

I don't have any other option.

Unlike your mom, I won't leave you.

I'll take you with me wherever I go.

You take sugar, right?

Me?

I miss my elder brother the most.

He was a brilliant student.

Would get full marks in math.

Not like me. A failure.

Yes.

He used to teach me.

He would teach me, feed me, tuck me into bed.

Have you observed animals?

The bond between mother and child?

The mother lives only for her young ones.

She hunts, she feeds them.

Takes all sorts of risks just for her children.

The problem lies with humans. With women.

How can a mother selfishly think only about herself?

That's not right.

And mothers who are selfish...

have no right to live.

They will have to die.

I will kill them.

Every single one of them.

I've killed them before, I'll kill them again.

I'll hunt down every last one of them.

She's alive.

Someone, get water!

Water, please!

(indistinct chatter)

Are you okay, dear?

Torsha?

Torsha?

Are you okay?

I was fasting all day.

So, I suddenly felt dizzy.

Everyone came running in fear.

My heart skipped a beat.

People are terrified, madam.

Do something.

COURAGE IS HER NAME

Update on the guest list?

At the last two weddings...

...Falguni's and Shreya's, there was only one common guest.

Mr. Mohan Dulal, the local councillor.

-Councillor? -Yes, sir.

Call him.

Councillors, politicians... I love talking to them.

Scoundrels, thieves, liars... So many flavours in one.

Just like a perfect biryani.

-Our first casualty, Tania. -Yes, sir?

Has her ex-husband been interrogated?

I need the guest list.

-Chitra is on it, sir. -Okay, good.

You said I should come if I needed anything.

So here I am.

You can make a call to ACP Dheeraj Singh.

Do you have his number?

Hey! How long does it take to find a file?

-Hurry up! -Yes, sir.

I understand you're having a hard time.

But what to do?

These are sad times.

People aren't buying the whole shy, veiled wife act anymore.

Let me see.

Give it to her.

Now leave. I have work to do.

I'll have another cup of tea.

And I'll be back if needed.

Get another cup of tea.

And four biscuits with it.

I need change for a 500-rupee note.

And two packets of biscuits.

No tea, ma'am?

I just had two cups.

Here.

Do you even have time to attend weddings?

You're such a busy man.

Have to make time.

Or people will say I've become arrogant.

I see.

You're close to both families, right?

Yes.

I know everything about them.

When they need to turn black money into white

they call me.

Wow.

That's what happens when you have too much money.

Women have no shame these days.

How so?

They had children. How can they remarry?

So desperate to sleep with someone?

I see.

I told Falguni's father

that he's crazy for celebrating his daughter's second marriage.

If you have a child, it means you had enough sex.

How much more do you want?

Suppose, I take you to a landfill right now.

Okay.

And I shoot you in an encounter.

Then your wife will remarry, right?

What do you mean?

You don't have any children. That means the sex wasn't enough.

Now if you suddenly die...

your wife should remarry.

Then thump, thump, thump...

Sir, we can let him go for today. We can call him again if needed.

Wait, what nonsense are you saying?

No, I'm just following your theory about sex and marriage.

If you die suddenly, what will your wife do?

-What the-- -Let me guess.

I think she will marry again.

-What nonsense! -Please come with me.

Get up, get up. Let's go.

It's hot anyway. And temperatures are rising...

-What rubbish was he saying-- -Let it be. Let's have tea.

Sir, what do you think?

Oh, please! He'll commit murder?

He's s**t scared as it is.

How is Tista?

She's fine.

Does Tania's ex-husband contact her?

No. We got a court order against him.

Why?

He's a drunkard, a scoundrel.

Do you think he could have harmed Tania?

Quite likely.

Tania was very happy with her job at Daffodil School.

We were the ones who forced her to marry him.

Where did Tania meet her second husband?

At Daffodils Orphanage.

Anil is a very good boy.

Tista, come here.

I've heard you draw very well.

So, this is for you.

How did you know I draw well?

I'm a police officer.

My name is Chitra.

Will you help me?

Hmm.

Tell me, Tista.

Do you remember what exactly happened that day?

Alright.

If you remember anything else, let me know.

-Your grandparents have my number. -Okay.

Go on.

Please send me the guest and vendor lists for the wedding.

Sure. And I've already sent you Daffodils' number.

Thank you.

-I'll take my leave. -Sure.

-Hello. -This is SI Chitra Basu.

I need to speak to the principal.

Ma'am is not here right now. You can call back in the evening.

Oh. Note down my number.

Ask her to call me when she's back.

Things will never change.

His mind is a garbage dump.

You know, sir?

Women are great as long as they agree with you.

But when she speaks her mind or questions you...

That's it.

You initially judged Chitra too.

Sir, you said that you'll never suspend me for telling the truth.

-Auto-rickshaw! -Yes, ma'am.

Please follow that rickshaw.

Yes, Chitra?

Sir, I'm going to Tania's ex-husband's house.

Her father will send the guest list and vendor list.

And Tania used to work at an orphanage...

Listen, Chitra.

You don't have to update me every hour.

Do things your way.

I have complete trust in you.

-Okay?-Okay.

Why do you want?

You mean "what".

Why did you just barge in?

Bikram Biswas?

I am Bikram Biswas. What is it?

SI Chitra Basu, Police Headquarters.

Where were you the day Tania remarried?

Glad to be rid of her.

She was a loose woman!

If she hadn't poisoned herself, I would've killed her myself.

She left me because I lost my job.

Why?

Couldn't support her husband for a couple of days?

I'm a man, I drink.

But she called me a drunk.

That b***h was so arrogant because she had a job.

She got what she deserved!

Did I do anything?

Did I squeeze them?

No. Then?

-Beg for Tania's forgiveness. -Ma'am! Ma'am!

Say, "Tania, forgive me. "

Okay, okay... Tania... Tania, forgive me.

-It hurts... -Say it again.

I'm an a**hole! Forgive me, Tania!

Ma'am, it hurts...

Listen.

If you ever even dream of insulting Tania like this...

I will enter your dream...

put a cymbal around your neck and play it so hard

that the neighbourhood will think it's a prayer meet.

Got it?

Y-Yes.

Don't leave town.

Bloody b***h!

(TV playing)

Damn it!

Hello.

Is Chitra Basu there?

Who's this?

I'm from Daffodil Home. She asked me to call.

Daffodil Home?

Daffodils Home Orphanage.

Orphanage?

For orphaned kids.

Orph...

No one called Chitra Basu here.

What happened?

-Listen. -What?

Don't faint after hearing this.

Just tell me what happened.

Aniruddha and Chitra can't have children.

Who told you?

I've found out.

Huh?

What will happen now?

They've decided to adopt from an orphanage.

I have a prayer room here.

Who knows what caste the child will be.

I can't defile my faith!

Adoption?

They didn't even tell us?

Why are you making such a sad face?

Just do as I say now.

Tell me.

Munni lives in America. Give her a call.

They had a child through IVR.

That's IVF, not IVR.

IVR is that robot on the phone.

Mother, help me with the necklace.

Hmm.

-Turn this way. -What happened?

What are you doing?

Enduring the pain all alone?

-What? -Quit that job and get treated.

Becoming a mother at 40 is no big deal now.

But that doesn't mean you adopt from an orphanage.

Wait a minute. Who is adopting?

Got a call from the orphanage.

I told them they have the wrong number.

Oh my God! Stop watching these TV shows!

It was a work call from the orphanage!

Give me the phone.

-Give me my phone. -Okay.

I can't believe this! Give it.

And listen. I can become a mother.

But at the right time.

I'll do it myself.

Shyamali, lock the door.

Hello?

Hello, this is SI Chitra Basu.

Tania Gupta used to work at your orphanage, right?

Yes. Lovely girl. Very sensible.

To think she'd pass away like this...

Can't believe it.

Did she have any issues with anyone?

Not at all. The kids absolutely loved her.

In fact, there was a boy.

He meant the world to her. He was like a brother to her.

Name and address?

Whose?

That boy who meant the world to her.

I remember his face but his details...

I might find it...

...in the old register.

Okay, hurry up.

Of course.

Dheeraj sir?

He'll reach directly.

We are going to Sonarpur, right?

That councilor, Dulal, sounded like the murderer talking.

Hmm.

While talking to Tania's ex-husband, I felt the same way.

Sounded all too familiar.

-Chitra. -Hmm?

I think I owe you an apology.

Why?

Well...

I too, secretly believed that you'd waste our time.

Sir, stop thinking about the women so much.

Leave them to their own devices. You'll see, everything's fine.

Hello, Aslam. Greetings.

What's up?

No, I'm at work.

Okay, I'll call you.

-Sir. -Hmm?

We've only considered Hindu women who are remarrying.

S**t.

COURAGE IS HER NAME

(indistinct chatter)

Make way, make way.

-Out of the way! -Move!

Hey.

-Collect and send to forensics. -Yes, sir.

Everyone here is known to me.

They are all guests I've invited.

I know them personally.

Very well.

Sir.

She had the same food as the rest of us.

Marian was really happy.

We had a flight to Shimla after the wedding.

Sir, need the list of guests and vendors.

Is the team out feasting at weddings?

Huh?

Excellent! Wow!

What a team you've built, Dheeraj.

You people aren't even qualified to be constables.

Let alone, officers.

Who was profiling this victim?

Sir...

I was, sir.

It's on me.

I have to issue a show-cause notice to you.

Respond within seven days.

Sir.

Bogus!

I'm hungry.

There's a good Bengali joint nearby. Great food.

Need some booze with it.

Will I get it there?

(song playing)

No ice, right?

Where's Arul?

He's gone to the lab. He'll get the report.

-Asked him to come here, right? -Yes.

This is our office for today.

If I'm show-caused, we'll lose the office room anyway.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

(song continues)

How?

And why?

If we can crack these two...

the 'who?' will automatically become clear.

What do you mean?

See...

Have this.

Sir...

Sorry.

She didn't have it.

Chitra knows me but didn't suddenly accept food from me.

So, the women either unwittingly had poisoned food themselves...

or it was fed to them by someone they trust blindly.

Hmm.

Sir, Tania's father sent the guest and vendor list.

You asked him to send it, so he did.

Tell me something new, Chitra.

I spoke to the principal of the orphanage Tania worked at.

She said Tania was close to a guy.

She'll send his name and address.

This could be a new angle.

Afternoon.

Sir.

The poison found in the pigeons and that in Marian's bloodstream

are both plant alkaloid-based.

And in the other cases?

Same.

The killer likes it organic.

If this case goes to court

he might get a discount on his life sentence!

Sir, I'm matching all the foot and fingerprints from the murder site.

By the way, I still don't have Falguni's forensic report.

Chitra can provide that. Your police station, right?

There was no forensic report for Falguni, sir.

What...

What?

May I come in, sir?

Oh, Mr. Boral. Please come in.

Please have a seat.

How may I help you, sir?

Falguni's was a suicide case, right?

Why 'was'? It still is.

Poisoned herself with some insecticide.

See?

How did you know?

Experience, sir.

And the foam around her mouth.

I've been here 29 years, sir. I can tell just by looking.

Did you get a forensic test?

Sniffer dogs? Photos?

Did you take fingerprints?

Sir... It was her second marriage.

Very shameful.

Hence, suicide.

You figured it was suicide from the foam around her mouth?

Second marriage. Hence, shameful.

So, suicide.

Take off your pants.

-What? -Take them off.

-Hold him up. -Yes, sir.

-Sir, I'm telling you... -Shut up!

You've s**t all over the investigation.

Even water can't wash it away. Have to scrape it off with my fingers.

So, I'm damn pissed and want to screw you over.

Sir, what are you--

-Get up. -Up.

Chitra.

-Take off his pants. -Huh?

Take them off, I said!

-Take them off. -Don't delay.

Sir... Let me explain...

Give me his belt. I'll whip him with his own belt.

-No, no... -Take them off.

I'll tell you what happened...

Hurry up.

Chitra, let me... You know what happened.

Sir, please don't do this.

Take them off!

Sir, phone.

It's an urgent call, sir. I'll be back.

-You guys do it. - No, no, no.

-Come on. -No need to feel ashamed.

Please stop it...

Calm down, calm down.

Hello?

-Is this SI Basu?-Yes.

You wanted that boy's name and address.

Right?

His name is Chirayu Talukdar.

Lives at 101/F, Selimpur Road.

Kolkata-31.

Okay.

Wait, let me call the press.

You will sit, holding your ears, and the press will see.

Sir, please don't.

I still have a few days of service left.

Sit quietly.

Sir.

Falguni and Shreya had the same flower vendor.

Golden Petals.

Owned by a Chirayu.

And the orphan boy who was close to Tania is also called Chirayu.

So what? It could be a coincidence.

No, sir.

The addresses also match.

Well, I'll be damned.

Bring him in.

-Is the shop not open today? -No, ma'am.

Bring the hammer from the car. Break the lock.

Someone check the back.

Check that side.

(indistinct chatter)

What's going on? What are you doing?

-Who are you? -The owner of this house.

-What's your name? -Pramod Banerjee.

Do you have a search warrant?

Do you know who you've rented this place to?

I know. That's why I rented it to him.

His name is Chirayu Talukdar.

Age 24. He has been here for two years.

Do you have a search warrant?

Chirayu might be connected to four murders.

Search warrant?

Stop, guys.

We will wait for Chirayu.

-Stop. -Madam.

I know the law.

I'm asking again, do you have a search warrant?

I knew you didn't have one. Please leave.

Leave.

Leave!

Listen.

You're aged. So, don't lose your temper.

You live here, right?

Yes, in the next lane.

But I keep an eye on things here.

Can I see your house? From the outside.

I'm on duty. I'm sure you understand.

Okay, come.

Please come in the car.

Come in.

I'm sure you'll know when Chirayu is back.

Please inform us.

It's for his own good.

Note down my number.

-Tell me. -It's 89000...388.

Munshi, I told you to get there fast.

I'll leave right after dinner. Don't worry, ma'am.

You could've eaten there, right?

Remember the address?

Yes, Silver Petal.

-Golden Petals. -Oh.

-Owned by Chirayu. -Okay.

And go in civilian clothes.

Of course, ma'am.

Can you lower the volume? I'm on the phone!

What volume, ma'am?

Not you.

-Keep a distance from the shop. -Okay.

-And call me if anything happens. -Okay, ma'am.

Bye.

(TV playing)

I'd planned something.

Would tell you in the morning but I didn't get the chance.

What?

A new Bengali movie is out. Great reviews.

I got us two tickets.

We'll watch the movie...

go to Tangra for dinner, then come home.

Let me just change.

Quickly.

You park the car. I'll get some popcorn.

Okay.

Basement.

Welcome.

Did I leave my wallet in the car?

-Please check. -Hello?

Hello?

Can't hear you. Hello?

Hello?

-Hello? -Yes, tell me.

Check under the seat too.

I'm parking the car. And your voice is breaking up.

-I'm in the lift. Please check. -Hello?

I think I left my wallet in the car.

-Hello? -Your voice is breaking up.

Hello?

Wait, I'll look for it.

-Are you okay? -Yes, I'm fine. You go.

Stay here. I'll be right back.

(song playing)

The fever will go down.

It's from the trauma.

But his blood pressure is worrying. The lower one is almost 100.

Let him eat something light and sleep.

I'll prescribe some medicines.

Must be a work call. Receive it.

No need to answer the phone.

Go to work.

Make him pay for harming your family.

Break both his hands.

COURAGE IS HER NAME

Enlarge the profile picture.

Hmm.

How terrible!

Are the suicides really staged?

Get a printout of this photo.

Okay.

Send people towards Amtala.

Buses, trucks, check everything.

Sir, Chirayu is the prime suspect.

Please try to get his arrest warrant issued immediately, sir.

Kamala from Sonagachi and Prasad from Kalighat.

I've sent their numbers. Get to work. Fast.

Okay, sir. I'll let you know.

-Okay, team. -Yes, sir.

Goutam, Chitra.

You guys go to Bashapur.

Talk to that principal.

Get his childhood photos or any information you can find.

Quick.

-Okay, sir. -Okay, sir.

Good afternoon, police madam. Looking for me?

Hmm, there's a camera.

-Hello. -Sit, sit.

-My interview is being recorded-- -Just a formality.

In case you later claim that we beat you up.

You know the police have a bad reputation.

That's why.

You're just doing your job. It's absolutely fine.

And it's good.

You can go back to what I said in case you don't remember.

So, how can I help you?

Oh, just one thing, sir.

I felt very bad about something.

What?

The police broke the lock and entered my flat.

They made a big mess, sir.

I'm just one guy, sir. Takes a lot of time to rearrange.

Falguni Sadhukha, Shreya Ghosh and Tania Gupta.

Oh, and Marian.

Hmm.

You were the florist for all four weddings, right?

Yes. What a coincidence, right?

All four died.

Yes and there's another coincidence.

You got the booking for all four weddings.

I work very hard to run the shop, sir.

I send pamphlets with the morning newspaper.

That's how I get most bookings.

Ma'am, tea.

And I've gained popularity in the area, sir.

I keep exotic flowers, and arrange them with great care.

I handle everything by myself, sir.

What was Falguni's favourite flower?

Jasmine.

Jasmine.

Most women want orchids but she wanted jasmines.

The whole house was filled with this beautiful fragrance, sir.

And the second one? Shreya Ghosh?

Her favourite flower?

-Shreya. -Hmm?

What was her favourite flower?

She didn't have any specifications.

I had suggested lilies.

Tania?

Tania liked all flowers, sir.

Look at these beautiful pink flowers.

Slowly mix this fertilizer with the soil, okay?

Make sure the roots don't break.

If the roots break, the plant will die.

So, the roots are more important than the flowers?

Exactly.

Even in the worst of storms

if the roots hold on strong, nothing will happen to the tree.

Flowers are for us.

But for the tree, the roots matter.

-Understood? -Yes.

Tania was like a sister to me.

She used to tell me everything.

But I didn't realise what was going on in her mind.

Why she killed herself.

Can I address you informally?

Sure.

When you were sent to that orphanage, Daffodils...

how old were you?

Eight years old.

How was the relationship between your parents?

Will she be asking the questions--

How was the relationship between your parents?

Bad.

But that didn't bother me, sir.

My older brother took care of me.

Brother, let's go play.

My dad and brother poisoned themselves.

I had too.

But I didn't die.

No kid poisons himself.

Who poisoned you?

Dad?

Will all of you question me now?

We ask the questions and you, answer!

I can't think under such pressure.

No one's pressurising you.

Why did your mom leave your dad?

Answer me!

-Why are you shouting? -This is how the police talk.

Did your parents fight?

-Physical violence? -Never.

-Did your dad hit your mom? -No, he was a good man.

-She left him. -Why?

And who poisoned you? Your dad?

I don't know! Why you are shouting--

If your dad was good, why did your mom leave?

How would I know? She left.

Why did he poison you?

Stop, stop, stop.

Stop.

Let's take a break.

We are stepping out for a bit.

I'll send another cup of tea for you.

Come, Chitra.

-Arul. -Sir.

Get all the information you can about Chirayu's mother.

Start with Daffodils school in Bashapur.

Need to know about his childhood.

The story begins there.

-Sir, can I do it? -No.

-You move. -Yes, sir.

You have to stay here.

He knows that we don't have any evidence.

That's why he has come.

With the information we have

we can't keep him in remand for more than a day.

It's a sensitive case.

Only when you were questioning him, the guy got a little nervous.

He's a bit of a nutcase anyway.

-Sir. -Yes?

Tania Gupta's daughter and father are here.

Why?

She's remembered something but will only tell you.

-Sir, shall I? -No way!

-Goutam, you go. -Okay, sir.

A potential killer is sitting in front of you.

And you care about what Tania's daughter has to say?

Listen, I'm not going in. You go inside.

The camera is on.

Grill the guy.

Bloody nutcase.

Yes, sir.

What did your father do?

I don't remember.

Did your family have financial problems?

Did your family have financial problems?

I want all the kids here right now. Immediately.

Okay, sir.

We had a big house.

With my dad, my elder brother...

And your mom?

Wasn't your mom there?

Need another cup of tea?

Is my interrogation over? Can I leave?

Is Dheeraj sir coming back?

How the hell do you know his name?

Huh?

I address you with respect, and you talk like that?

How do you know his name?

I'll answer only to him.

How the hell do you know his name?

I saw it on TV.

How did you feel when Tania decided to remarry?

Happy.

Happy?

Hmm.

Your face doesn't suggest you were happy about it.

You frown when I mention your mom or Tania.

What's the problem?

When Tania got remarried, I was very happy.

There, I said it with a smile. Is that okay?

Did your mom remarry?

Maybe she did.

She must have.

Why else would she leave my dad?

Why would she leave us?

-Didn't you ever try to find her? -No.

-Why? -I didn't feel the need to.

Why stay in touch with a woman like that?

Only talking about your dad and brother.

Why not your mom?

Huh?

Why is she missing from your childhood stories?

Are you angry because she left you?

A mother cannot...

A mother cannot leave her child to get married again!

If the roots are uprooted, the tree dies.

The roots must withstand every storm! That's its job!

The roots are necessary for the tree.

Flowers are for people.

For the tree, the roots are important!

Tania used to say this.

But she didn't follow it.

So you killed Tania?

I am not feeling well.

I can't say any more.

I... I won't say a word before consulting my lawyer.

Water, please.

This is not the life your mom wanted.

She wanted a different life.

And she has the right to.

From now on...

I will spend a lot more time with you and Mitra.

I will be a good father.

Promise.

I'm here, Dad.

I'll never leave you and sis.

Okay.

No point getting hyper.

You're the one getting hyper.

Sorry.

You know, Chirayu...

my childhood was a lot like yours.

My mom also left my sister and me.

My dad was so hurt.

I saw it.

If the roots are uprooted, how will the tree survive?

Absolutely right.

You and your brother have endured so much pain.

Your dad probably tried to stop her.

But couldn't.

He did try.

I saw it myself.

I understand.

And you know what?

Only the ones who go through it, understand.

Those who don't go through what we did

laugh at us and tease us.

I was teased too.

They called my mom a...

Work is so stressful, I lose my temper.

There's pressure from the superiors.

You're absolutely right, Chirayu.

Women like my mom and yours--

They deserve what they got.

A mother who doesn't care about her own child

deserves to die.

-I will-- -Chitra.

Come out for a moment.

Why did you call me? He was just about to confess!

Tania's daughter said the killer is an elderly woman.

What?

Hmm.

Come downstairs.

An aunty used to visit.

A nice lady.

Saw her every day outside school.

We had become good friends.

She used to chat with me.

Gave me chocolates.

One day, she asked me...

what my mom's favourite colour is.

I said red.

The next day, she gave me a red candy.

And asked me to give it to my mom

when she was alone on the flower bed.

She said if my mom has it...

then she will love me the most.

She will never leave me.

That's why I gave it to my mom.

She had become a good friend.

My mom's favourite colour was yellow.

That aunty used to come to my school every day before Mom got married.

She had white hair.

She wore glasses.

My mom's favourite colour was green.

Goutam.

-Release Chirayu. -Okay, sir.

(song playing)

Hello?

Hello, Subhankar.

Yes, tell me.

I need your help.

Sure.

I'm sending you a guy's number.

You've to call him and lie.

Say you're getting married this Friday.

What?

Tell him...

...your dad is very sick, so you'll get married right away.

I've sent the number. Check.

Wait a second.

This is Chirayu. I know him.

I'd called him for my wedding decorations anyway.

-You know the guy?-Yes.

Does he know who you're marrying?

No, he doesn't. I don't go around announcing it.

Ask him to keep the decorations very simple.

It's her second marriage.

So you want a small wedding. I'll explain later.

What?

Bye.

Hello?

(indistinct chatter)

-Is this seat taken? -No, go ahead.

-One flat bread and curry. -Coming up.

Hey, we have a customer. Chop chop.

Yes, Subhankar?

Hello.

Did you give her bouquet today?

No, I'm on my way.

Hey, so...

I've proposed.

Wow!

-She said yes, right? -Yes, yes.

When's the wedding?

About the wedding...

My dad's suddenly fallen sick, so we have to do it soon.

Just tell me when.

-I'll get started right now if you want. -No, no.

The wedding will be this Friday.

Wedding and reception on the same day. Can you make it?

Even if I have other work, I'll cancel it for you.

Okay then.

I need the decorations to be simple.

-Actually-- -Why simple?

-I'll use all the flowers in my shop. -Thing is...

It's a second marriage, so.

Yours?

No, her second marriage.

What's her name?

Her name?

Why?

What should I write at the gate?

"Subhankar weds Fiance?"

No, no.

Her is Mitra Bose.

Mitra Bose.

Okay.

-I'll get started on the prep. -Okay.

Mitra... Bose.

Are you sure about what you're doing?

Yes, sir.

COURAGE IS HER NAME

See if this helps.

-Thank you. -Sure.

Everybody at attention, please.

All eyes on the gate.

When Rudra comes out, keep an eye on him.

Our suspect is an elderly woman.

Could you have done it to your own son?

Since Rudra is my son--

Stop this drama!

Of course, you'll think that.

After the divorce, Rudra wouldn't talk to me.

Do you know how difficult it was to--

Rudra is more my child than yours.

Stop nagging me now.

That day you made Subhankar call the florist and lie to him.

Now you say some old woman is the killer!

Chitra, come in.

I'm talking to you!

Yes, tell me.

An elderly woman is going towards the gate.

This is all you do!

White hair. In a dress.

Matches the children's description.

Keep an eye on her. Don't do anything yet.

Okay, okay.

Stay in the car.

-Where are you going? -Stay in the car.

Hey!

Send Rudra to the headquarters.

Let's go.

Chitra, come in. Chitra, can you hear me?

Chitra!

Yes?

Chitra, behind you.

-Where? -The yellow taxi.

Hurry!

Behind you.

Everyone, come on, fast!

-Go in. -Who are you?

Police. Get inside.

What have I done?

What's your name?

-My... -What's your name?

My name is Liliana Brahms. I haven't done anything.

-I just came to deliver a cake. -Who ordered it?

I don't know. It was an online order.

-So many since morning. -Let me see.

All the delivery boys have gone out.

-So, I came to deliver it myself. -Here.

Believe me, I didn't do anything.

Do you know Chirayu?

Golden Petals?

Yes, I know Chirayu.

His flower shop is right in front of my bakery.

He's a very nice boy. Very helpful.

What's wrong?

Munshi, answer the phone.

Answer the phone!

Yes, ma'am?

Where is Chirayu?

He's in a public loo. I'm right outside.

When did he go in?

In the morning, he went to deliver flowers.

Then to a salon.

When did he enter the loo?

About an hour ago.

Does it take an hour to s**t? Go and check inside!

Okay, ma'am.

Hey! Occupied!

What the hell!

Hey, open up.

What's the rush? I'll take time.

Sorry.

Alert everyone. Circulate photos.

Bring in owners of all flower nurseries, quick.

I don't know.

I don't know how you'll do it, but I need 15 search teams.

Three people per team.

Block all entry and exit points of the city.

If anyone asks, say it's a routine drill.

Okay?

Who was Chirayu's target?

I said, who was Chirayu's target? Rudra or Mitra?

Mitra.

Then why did not have eyes on the target?

Eyes or a**holes!

I asked you if you're sure about this!

But you had to be a hero!

Bloody fool!

-Goutam. -Yes, sir?

-I want their location. -Sir.

-Map the area and block everything. -Already on it, sir.

We have sent people to railway stations.

Sent photos to bus owners.

Flower nursery owners will be brought in.

Chitra.

(indistinct conversation)

On it, sir.

What's the update?

I need the information.

Daffodils had just this photo of Chirayu's parents.

(indistinct conversation)

Chitra?

I asked you to find out about Chirayu's mother, right?

That's what I just showed Chitra.

(singing)

Ruined it.

Why are you trembling? What happened?

Are you scared?

Scared of sandalwood paste?

Weren't you scared to have an affair despite being a mother?

Huh?

To think of another man and ignore your son?

Hmm?

One day you decided to be a mother, so you became one.

The next, you got bored, so you had an affair.

Mothers don't have affairs!

Got it?

God has only given women the ability to be mothers.

Do you know what it means?

Huh?

What?

God gave you the power to create a life.

You created another human being.

It comes with responsibility. Get it?

Huh?

No, you don't get it!

You are all selfish!

Okay, I won't scold you anymore.

No more scolding.

Even animals are better than you.

See how they take care of their young?

How they protect them?

Have you seen?

Sorry.

When I start talking, I lose track of time.

After killing you, I'll have to leave Kolkata.

Your sister knows my me now. She won't spare me.

See if your favourite colour is in here.

What's your favourite colour?

Hey, I told you not to do that!

How many times do I have to say it?

Huh?

Why are you struggling?

I'll strangle you to death!

-Why the hell-- -Chirayu.

Calm down, son.

Calm down.

Dad!

Calm down, son.

Don't be like that. Calm down.

Why have you come here?

You are filthy! Dad told me you are a filthy woman.

Why do you hate me so much?

Who brought you here?

Who brought you here?

Tell me who brought you here!

Why are you hiding from your son?

Tell me everything.

You are Chirayu's mother, right?

Chirayu doesn't know the whole truth.

There was constant fighting at home.

Your dad came home drunk and beat me every day.

You were too young to understand.

I would deliberately send you to the next room.

After he lost his job...

he started selling off my gold jewellery.

He... He had threatened me.

That if I tried to leave, he would kill me first and then...

...kill you and your brother too.

But I still left.

Planned to bring you to me with police protection.

I fought my father and tried to bring them to me but...

But then I heard...

...he had poisoned my children.

After I recovered, I came to know...

that Chirayu is alive.

I went to meet him at Daffodils.

That's where...

...I met Tania.

Tania told me that...

He feels scared when I mention you.

Someone's created a certain perception of you in his mind.

A trauma like this at such a young age

will take a lot of time to heal.

As your mom...

...I was very hurt.

But that's why...

I... I never went to meet you again.

But...

I used to take care of you from a distance.

I didn't want his education to stop.

So, I gave money to Tania every month.

Some money for him.

If you need more, please tell me.

Don't worry. I'm with you.

-I will come again next month. -Alright.

-Please look after him. -Of course.

When he grew up, I had him come to this house.

Tania brought you here.

I arranged for you to stay in one of our houses.

I helped set up your shop, your business.

Look.

Without your help, I won't be able to save my sister.

Please, think about it...

Where could Chirayu be?

I knew you where you could be.

I used to watch you secretly from a distance.

I knew you came here sometimes.

PICHHUDAAK

But Dad used to say you are bad.

Did... Did I get it all wrong?

But... Brother?

(inaudible)

Why did brother die?

I saw.

He had a piece of meat in his hand.

Eyes were open.

But he wasn't breathing or talking to me.

What was his fault?

Why did he have to die?

Where are you running off to? I won't let you go.

Or your sister won't spare me.

Son!

I won't go to jail.

I won't go to jail!

When our mom left us, Mitra wasn't even two years old.

Let me go!

Shut up and listen to me.

Our mom also left our dad and married someone else.

Then our dad explained to us...

that he never loved Mom.

He didn't give her time.

She couldn't live if she stayed with Dad.

That's why she left him. She did the right thing!

Never thought about it, did you?

That your dad could've been at fault?

Never thought that your mom could have a breaking point?

Hmm?

Never thought about it, huh?

Your mom didn't kill your brother, Chirayu.

Your dad killed him.

You were young, so you didn't understand.

But later you could've tried finding out.

You could have asked your mom.

Right?

For all these years

your mom has watched over you from a distance.

She has supported you.

But she never wanted anything in return.

Guess why.

Because the doctor said you'll be in trauma if you see her.

This is what a mother is.

Your idea of a mother is just the filth in your mind.

Listen, Chirayu.

There's a difference between tree and humans.

Mothers are neither roots, nor God.

They're human.

Come quickly.

-Munshi. -Yes, sir.

-Sir. -Hmm?

Give them some time alone.

Come away, Munshi.

Hmm.

Do you remember what my favourite colour was, Mom?

During every Durga Festival, you'd buy me a shirt of that colour.

And I'd comfortably sleep in it.

Do you remember my favourite colour?

They won't spare me, Mom.

I don't want to hurt anymore. Please save me one last time.

My favourite colour...

Do you remember, Mom?

Hey!

-I won't go! -Move it!

-Save me, Mom! -Shut it!

I won't go!

They'll kill me!

Mom!

Save me!

I won't go!

They'll torture me, Mom!

Mom!

Save me, Mom!

Move it!

Save me, Mom!

Mom, save me!

Mom!

I have recommended your name for a promotion.

And Dheeraj.

Your team has done a fantastic job. Very well done.

-Thank you, sir. -May I come in?

Left your lunch in the car.

I'm running late. Bye.

-Hello. -Your wife got promoted.

Posted at the headquarters. What now?

Hmm.

I'll handle it.

Forget promotion. She's my wife.

It's all in my control.

Don't know about that.

But if our mission fails...

neither you, nor your wife, will live.

Don't worry. I'll handle it.
