[Poltu's friend]: 'Poltu, come here!'

[Poltu]: 'What happened?'
[Poltu's friend]: 'Look at this.'

(tram running)
(injured bird chirping)

(Poltu's friend whimpers)

(title music playing)

[Sandip]: Sorry, I'm late.

[Rita]: Thanks for meeting me.

[Sandip]: Rita, you don't
need to be so formal.

[Rita]: I'm in a bit of a hurry.

I just wanted to understand something.

(Sandip chuckles)

[Sandip]: It's always about work with you.

What is it?

[Rita]: There's this senior citizen.

She thinks someone is lurking
outside her bathroom.

I mean, I suspect she's just
being paranoid, but I can't be sure.

(indistinct chatter)
(Rita's phone rings)

[Machine voice]: 'Alcohol is a problem.'

'And everybody reacts to this problem'

'in different ways...'

[Rita]: Sorry.
[Sandip]: What's the count?

Sober count.

(Rita scoffs)

[Sandip]: So, what did you gift yourself?

[Rita]: Gift?

[Sandip]: Whenever there are
milestones or achievements,

big or small,

one should always celebrate them.

I keep telling my patients that...

[Rita]: I'm not your patient.

[Sandip]: Hey, I didn't mean it like that.

[Rita]: It's okay. I'll just read
about paranoia online.

[Rita]: Thanks anyway.
[Sandip]: Hey...

(Sandip exhales)
Drat!

(Janice scoffs)

[Janice]: God knows
what's happening to the weather.

Looks like it's going to rain.
(Janice laughs)

(plate clinking)

[Janice]: Slow down, child
or you'll choke.

My mother learnt this recipe...

[Rita]: 'From her aunt,'

'who was married
to the last of the pure-bred Scots,'

'who decided to stay here.'

(Janice sighs) [Rita]: I've had it
memorised since I was a kid.

(Janice scoffs)

[Janice]: Bertha is coming tomorrow.
She's planning to make a roast duck.

Here, have some of this.

(Janice exhales)
How's the Jalfrezi?

[Rita]: Great.

[Janice]: You barely say
a word these days.

[Rita]: The food is great, mom.

[Janice]: Sometimes, I feel like
spiking your water with vodka

just to get a glimpse
of the old you for a bit.

(Rita's phone rings)
(Rita scoffs)

[Nikhil]: 'Hello.'

'Greetings, Rita.'

'I'm Nikhil Goenka from
the Alcohol De-addiction Centre.'

[Rita]: Yes. Hi, Nikhil.

[Nikhil]: 'I've called to remind you
that everyone is meeting today.'

'You'll be there, right?'

[Rita]: Yes.
[Nikhil]: 'Great.'

[Nikhil]: 'Okay then. See you.'

[Rita]: Thanks, Nikhil.

[Nikhil]: 'Rita.'

'I know you already know this,'

'but I want to say it
on behalf of everyone.'

'You're doing a fantastic job.
Don't give up now.'

[Rita]: Thank you, Nikhil.

[Nitin]: "You'll remain in silence
within my heart."

"You'll dwell there quietly
within me."

"You'll remain in silence
within my heart,"

"deep, still, like a full moon night,"

"soft and tranquil
as midnight itself."

"You'll remain in silence."

'Why are you smiling? What's going on?'

'You're recording me!'

'No, that's not fair!'
(Rita laughs)

'Give it to me!'

[Rita]: 'No, go back and sing!'

[Nitin]: 'Rita Brown.'

'I love you.'

(indistinct chatter)
(women laughing)

[Vendor]: This is the best cake
in the world!

(indistinct chatter)

[Janice]: Pfft!

(indistinct chatter)

[Janice]: Hi, Stella.
Would you like some wine?

[Stella]: No, thanks.

[Janice]: Is it too early for you?
[Stella]: Yeah.

[Janice]: Come back later. (laughs)
[Stella]: Sure.

(indistinct chatter)

[Bertha]: It's pointless.

Nobody appreciates our wine anymore.

[Janice]: Look around.
So few of us are left to appreciate.

(Janice exhales)

[Arjun]: I needed to talk to you.

Whatever happened
in the Ahana Jaiswal murder case

wasn't my decision.

But I've come here today
on my own accord.

There's been another murder.

As per Durga, it's the same MO,
same murder weapon,

and once again,
committed with the right hand.

[Arjun]: I was thinking if you...
[Rita]: There's a cafe nearby.

[Arjun]: Cafe?

(Rita sighs)
[Rita]: I've switched to coffee.

Black.

[Arjun]: Coffee.

The victim is Usha Jain,
28 years old, married.

She lived in Rajarhat New Town.

Same clove knot, same murder weapon.

[Rita]: Motive?
[Arjun]: Unknown.

[Rita]: Was she murdered at home?

[Arjun]: No, in the swimming pool
of an abandoned rubber factory.

[Rita]: Both victims were in their 20s.

Both are female.

Is it a pattern?

[Arjun]: Usha and Ahana came from
very different family backgrounds.

[Rita]: Hmm.

In Ahana's case,
we suspected her family members.

And besides family...

[Arjun]: The only person
with the expertise

for this kind of crime is this guy.

Saikat.
(Rita scoffs)

[Rita]: Of course. Your favourite suspect.
(Arjun scoffs)

We should investigate

which one of them
has a connection to Usha.

Oh, yes.
What about Ahana's Winderr dates?

[Arjun]: Well, Rahman looked into that.

[Rita]: Did he find anything?

[Arjun]: Nothing related to the case
turned up, but...

[Rita]: But?

[Arjun]: Let me show you.

'Age and phone, both are just numbers.'

'Which one are you interested in?'

[Rita]: Bertha?

'Interests: Hitch-hiking,
wine, dining, and salsa?'

(Arjun and Rita laughing)

[Rita]: What's this?
(Arjun and Rita laughing)

One minute, huh?

(Rita and Arjun laughing)

[Rita]: This is just crazy!
[Arjun]: Check the pictures.

[Rita]: Oh my God!
(Rita and Arjun laughing)

What is this? Insane!
(Rita and Arjun laughing)

It's just too funny!
(laughs)

(Rita laughing)

[Man]: 200? No way.

(indistinct chatter)
(Janice's phone rings)

(Janice gasps)

[Janice]: Bertha.

What's this?

[Bertha]: It's a dating app.

[Janice]: I know that.

(Janice chuckles)

But you're almost 75.

Why are you on this app?

[Bertha]: Not only this app.
I'm on all the dating apps.

After all, every woman has needs.

[Janice]: Oh, come on.

[Bertha]: Anyway, this is all
a sham. None of them works.

Otherwise, don't you think
I would've found a good man

for darling Rita?

[Janice]: She's 45.

I think she's old enough
to take care of her needs.

[Bertha]: Janice,
there are only a few good men left.

I can't marry off Rita
to any Tom, Dick and Harry.

Oh! How about Andrew?

[Janice]: Stella's son?

[Bertha]: What do you think?

No?

Okay. Then what about that boy
who came home?

[Janice]: Who? Arjun?

But he's just a boy.

[Bertha]: And the problem with that is?

[Janice]: Ugh!
[Bertha]: What 'ugh'?

[Mr Jain]: Yes. Greetings.

[Arjun]: We found Usha's body

in the swimming pool
of a rubber factory.

Does anyone here have any idea
what she was doing there?

[Mr Jain]: Sir,
she left to meet Geeta.

Geeta is my sister.

She went there
to plan her birthday party.

But she never came back.

Then the police called, saying...
The rubber factory...

[Ankit]: Wait a minute.
Isn't this the Jaiswal case?

[Arjun]:
Do any of you recognise her?

[Rita]: Are you sure?

Because there are many similarities
between the two cases.

There must be
some kind of connection.

[Ankit]: Finding connections
is your job, isn't it?

And you people had already
arrested the murderer.

So, how on earth
could he have killed Usha...

[Arjun]: Calm down.

[Hemant]: This is Ankit,
my business partner.

[Arjun]: Did Usha have any
conflicts or enemies?

[Mrs Jain]: Absolutely not.

She was a very simple girl.

It never felt like
she was our daughter-in-law.

She was like a daughter to us.

She lived with us quite happily.

Whenever Hemant went on tours,
she always took good care of us.

She never let us feel like
we lacked anything.

[Hemant]: Mom.

(Mrs Jain sniffles)

(Mrs Jain exhales)

[Rita]: Any kids?

(Mrs Jain exhales and sniffles)

[Mrs Jain]: Usha...

Usha didn't want to have a baby.

[Mr Jain]: These days,

people start asking questions
after just one year of marriage.

[Mrs Jain]: Yes.

But we never put any pressure on her.

We were all happy together.

[Arjun]: Where were you all
on the night of the 17th?

[Mr Jain]: We were right here.

[Hemant]: I had returned from
Ranchi. My flight was at 10:30 PM.

[Arjun]: Ranchi?

[Hemant]: We're in
the medical equipment business.

Our warehouse is there.

Most of our consignment orders
come from there.

[Arjun]: And you, Ankit?

[Ankit]: I was at the office.

After that, I went to the airport
to pick up Hemant.

[Arjun]: Okay. Thank you.

We'll be in touch
if we have more questions.

[Rita]: Thank you.

[Anirban]: One more gruesome murder!
And it pains me to even report this!

After Ahana Jaiswal, it's Usha Jain!

Mr Chaturvedi, as a psychoanalyst,
what's your take on this?

[Chaturvedi]: Look, Anirban,
the circumstantial evidence

the police have gathered

shows a distinct pattern
in these murders. [Anirban]: Hmm.

[Chaturvedi]: And if we
analyse this pattern,

it's clear that both these murderers
suffer from deep-seated trauma.

[Anirban]: Hmm. [Chaturvedi]:
And based on my experience,

[Chaturvedi]: I'd say there isn't
more than one murderer.

It's the same person.

[Anirban]: So, does that mean

the Kolkata Police
have arrested the wrong person

in the Ahana Jaiswal murder case?

[Chaturvedi]: 'Absolutely.'

'In my view, taking
Rita Brown off the case'

'was the biggest mistake
the Kolkata Police made.'

[Dheeraj]: Drat!
(sound of utensils fall on floor)

[Anirban]: 'Right here, as you can see,'

'it seems taking Rita Brown off the case'

'might've been a big mistake
on the part of the Kolkata Police.'

[Srijan]: Yes, Dheeraj. How are you?

[Dheeraj]: How am I? Yeah!
(laughs)

The entire media is dragging
my family's name through the mud!

[Srijan]: That's just what the media does.

Why are you getting so emotional?

[Dheeraj]: I trusted you, Srijan!

[Srijan]: You told me to close the case.

[Srijan]: I did exactly that.

[Dheeraj]: And what about the murderer?

[Dheeraj]: Raju hasn't done it!

And yes! Closing the case didn't mean

you'd just stop looking for
my daughter's murderer altogether!

[Srijan]: You mean
the murderer of Nonnie's daughter.

[Dheeraj]: How dare you!

Srijan! Srijan, you remember
where the funds

for your party's protest
in the brigade came from, don't you?

[Srijan]: Ah! The funds.

You're not the only person in this city.

Dheeraj, you can't have
everything that you want.

There's so much pressure
from the media.

I'll reopen the case.

But if the facts are against you,
then you're on your own now.

[Dheeraj]: Oh, yeah! I'm on my own!
Yeah! Darn it!

(Dheeraj exhales)

[Arjun]: I can't make
heads or tails of this.

[Rahman]: Usha's movements
were minimal, sir.

She stayed mostly in New Town.

Let me try to find a pattern based
on the timing of her movements.

[Arjun]: Wait, wait, wait.
What's that way up there?

(indistinct chatter)
(Rahman clicks tongue)

[Rita]: Did you cross-reference this
with Ahana's data points?

[Rahman]: Yes, just a second.

[Rahman]: Actually, this is
a demo version, ma'am.

[Mrinal]: Ma'am,
we don't have Usha's phone,

but I do have cloud access.

So, I'll sort through it
and give you a report.

[Rita]: And how many hours
is that going to take?

[Mrinal]: I'll get it right away, ma'am.

(indistinct chatter)

[Arjun]: Now sit right here.

Don't you dare move
for the next five hours.

(indistinct chatter) (telephone rings)

[Rahman]: I'm in a fix.

How is it my fault?

(indistinct chatter)

[Arjun]: Shefali?

[Shefali]: Sir.
[Arjun]: What are you doing here?

[Shefali]: I needed
to file a complaint, sir.

(indistinct chatter)

[Arjun]: Saikat?

[Anirban]: Our popularity poll
results are here.

We'd asked our viewers,

'Is bringing Rita Brown back
a good move by the Kolkata Police?'

'An overwhelming 88% viewers think'

'that bringing Rita Brown back
is a good move.'

'Now, let's move
to the commissioner's office,'

'from where our correspondent
is reporting live.'

[Mohan]: Sir, I did everything
as per your instructions.

Now, the entire media is
pressuring us to reopen the case.

They blame me for this mess.

[Sudhendu]: Mohan, there's
only one thing we can do now.

You have to listen to me.

[Mohan]: You were the one who
brought Rita Brown onto the case.

And you were the one who pressured
me to take her off the case

and close it.

I'm sorry, sir,

but the responsibility
of law and order in Kolkata is mine.

I'll have to make
some decisions now.

[Srijan]: I was the one who plucked you

from the Traffic Department
and made you the commissioner.

Have you forgotten that, Mohan?

[Mohan]: Sir, you wanted to hide
Ahana Jaiswal's pregnancy.

Well, that secret is out anyway.

The media is dragging
the police force through the mud.

[Sudhendu]: Sir,
it's affecting our image big time.

It'll be difficult for us
to tackle this situation.

[Mohan]: Sir, reopening the Jaiswal case

is in our best interest.

It'll help restore
public confidence in you.

(Srijan sighs)

[Rita]: Any follow-up on Saikat?

[Arjun]: I've sent his photo
to every exit point.

If we can just track him down today...

[Rita]: And what about Ankit?

[Arjun]: He seems to be in the clear.

(indistinct chatter)

[Rita]: A cup of coffee, please.

[Arjun]: I've heard
that you can drink anything here.

Just don't touch the coffee.
(Arjun laughs)

[Sandip]: Thank you, Shrishti.
Thank you very much.

[Shrishti]: Hey, no, don't mention it.

I'll mail you all the documents.

[Sandip]: Okay.

[Sandip]: See you around. Thank you.
[Shrishti]: Thank you, doctor.

[Sandip]: Please.

(indistinct chatter)

[Sandip]: Hi!

Twice in a week.

[Rita]: Hello, doctor.

[Sandip]: So, this is your second home.

(Rita laughs)

[Sandip]: Inspector Sinha, right?
[Arjun]: Hmm.

[Sandip]: Hi.
[Arjun]: Hi.

[Sandip]: I hope I'm not
interrupting your work. [Rita]: No.

[Arjun]: Hey, not at all.
I was just about to head out.

(Sandip laughs)

[Sandip]: I still have work.
I'll have coffee. What about you?

[Rita]: I've already ordered one.
[Sandip]: Oh!

[Arjun]: I'll see you at the office.

[Sandip]: Bye.

So, work even follows you
to the cafe, it seems.

[Rita]: Look who's talking.

[Rita]: Thank you.
[Sandip]: A cup of coffee for me.

[Sandip]: Thank you.

(indistinct chatter)

[Rita]: Stop trying to read my mind.

[Sandip]: Actually, you know,
we can't do that. It's a misconception.

And even if I could, I wouldn't.

I've learnt that much
after what happened last time.

(Rita and Sandip laugh)

(indistinct chatter)

[Sandip]: Is something bothering you?

(indistinct chatter)

[Rita]: There's been another murder.

[Sandip]: Yes. I saw it on the news.

They arrested the wrong person
in the Ahana murder case.

It seems you were right
from the very beginning.

How are you holding up?

[Rita]: You know, doctor,

so many questions are surfacing
in this case, but I have no answers.

[Rita]: I was wondering if
you could... [Sandip]: One second.

[Sandip]: I charge for my consultation,

and I'm not doing this one for free.

[Rita]: Okay.
[Sandip]: Before you get angry,

[Sandip]: just an Anglo-Indian meal
would be enough.

Oh! Thank you.

[Rita]: Anytime.
[Sandip]: Oh!

[Sandip]: Friday?

[Rita]: Friday.

[Sandip]: Deal.

Um... Nice coffee.

(Arjun's father chokes)

(Arjun's father coughing)

(Arjun's father breathes heavily)

(Arjun's father coughing)

(Arjun's father breathes heavily)

[Song]: "Oh brother, the beggar is now"

"a captive of the city
and its markets."

"Oh brother..."

"The beggar is now a captive
of the city and its markets."

(Arjun's father clears throat)

(Arjun's father coughing)

[Song]: "This beautiful forest
is a garden."

"This beautiful forest is a garden."
(Arjun's father coughing)

"The messenger of death
and his executioner"

"stand to the right and left."
(Arjun's father coughs and sniffles)

"And seated in
the middle is Yama,"

"the lord of death, and his mother."

"The messenger of death
and his executioner"

"stand to the right and left."

"And seated in the middle is Yama,
the lord of death, and his mother."

[Rita]: Thanks.

(woman exhales)

[Woman]: Sorry to keep you waiting.

[Rita]: Dear, where's John John?

[John John's wife]: John John
hasn't been home for a week.

Did you want to ask him something?

I'll let him know if I see him.
He'll give you a call.

(Rita's phone rings)

[Rita]: Yes, sir.

I'll be there, sir.

[Arjun]: Good luck.

(chair shifting)

One more plate.

(indistinct chatter)

(indistinct chatter)

(line ringing)
(indistinct chatter)

[Arjun]: 'Yes, go ahead.'

[Rahman]: Sir, on the night of the 17th,
Ankit did go to the airport,

but he never returned
to Hemant's house.

[Arjun]: 'So, where did he go?'

[Rahman]: Give me a minute, sir.

New Wave Hotel, Rajarhat.

[Durga]: Hey, do it properly.
Check everything.

[Medical examiner]: Sir.

[Durga]: What is it?

[Medical examiner]: Sir, the uterus
isn't clearly visible.

Looks like she underwent surgery.

Perhaps for a tumour.

[Durga]: No, it wasn't for a tumour.

It was a D&C procedure.

She was pregnant,

just like Ahana.

[Receptionist]: Yes, sir.
Ankit was here on the 4th.

He's one of our regular guests.

[Arjun]: Show me the CCTV footage
from that day.

[Receptionist]: Sure, sir,
but you'll need to coordinate

with the manager for that.

However, sir,
Ankit is actually here today.

[Receptionist]: If you'd like
to see him... [Arjun]: Room number?

[Receptionist]: Hang on. It's 2812.

(indistinct chatter)

[Mohan]: I understand
what you're saying. Yeah.

But you keep me informed.

Yes, I'll speak with you later.

[Rita]: Sir, I can explain. I've been...

[Mohan]: You've done
a fantastic job, Rita.

Sit, sit.

Tea, coffee?

Or maybe some vodka?

(Mohan laughs)

[Mohan]: I've submitted your name
to the centre for a medal.

Harris would've been proud.

He was its youngest recipient.

Rita.

I'm reopening the Ahana Jaiswal case.

Arjun mentioned
that you were assisting him

with the Usha Jain case.

[Rita]: It's not my case.

When colleagues ask for help,
I don't turn them down.

[Mohan]: Good, good.

I want you to officially lead
the investigation as DCDD Crime.

[Rita]: Sir, Arjun is doing a fine job.

I don't want to step in mid-case
and disrupt the investigation.

[Mohan]: Nonsense!

You're one of the best in the DD.

Arjun can assist you.
[Rita]: No, sir.

Let Arjun lead the case.

I have just one request of you.

[Mohan]: Yeah, tell me.

[Rita]: No games this time.

May I?

[Mohan]: Of course.

(Hemant whimpers)
[Ankit]: Hemant!

[Arjun]: I bet you were the one
who forced her to get an abortion!

[Hemant]: Sir, I didn't know
anything about the abortion.

I wasn't even aware
that Usha was pregnant.

I never even laid a hand
on Usha, sir.

[Hemant]: Sir, sir...

[Arjun]: If you two wanted to be together,

then why did you marry Usha
in the first place?

[Hemant]: Sir...
I never wanted to get married, sir.

(Hemant whimpers)

[Hemant]: My father forced me
into this marriage

as soon as he found out

that I was gay.

Ankit and I met in college.

He was the one who made me realise
for the first time

that no matter how different
it seems to the world,

love is just the same for everyone.

We couldn't have married each other,

but after my marriage, we weren't
even able to let go of each other.

My family and Usha
had expectations of me,

but I couldn't fulfil them, sir.

One day, I finally gathered
the courage to tell Usha everything.

(Hemant inhales)

[Hemant]: And she accepted me
exactly as I was, ma'am.

[Rita]: How long
have you two been together?

[Ankit]: Since college.

We've always remained loyal
to one another.

[Rita]: Was Usha having an affair?

(Hemant inhales)

[Hemant]: Ma'am, I have
absolutely no idea.

(Hemant sniffles)

[Rita]: Hmm.

Arjun.

The pattern is becoming clear.

Both victims were pregnant,
and both had undergone abortions.

[Arjun]: We still don't know
who the father was.

[Rita]: The father
could very well be the murderer.

[Arjun]: It's possible.

[Rita]: John John?

[John John]: 'I need to see you.'

'It's urgent.'

'Come to the tannery in Tangra.'

[Rita]: Okay.

We need to get the details
about Usha's abortion.

[Arjun]: I'll look into it.

[Durga]: Arjun.

We've found some blood traces
at Usha's crime scene

that don't belong to her.

[Arjun]: 'The murderer's?'
(indistinct chatter)

[Durga]: Hopefully.
(indistinct chatter)

[Rita]: John John.

(indistinct chatter)

[John John]: Arrest me!
[Rita]: What?

[John John]: Your man, Arjun Sinha!

I was the one who gave him the tip
about the drugs!

Some officers
from your own department

are in league with that gang!

Now, they are coming after me!
They want me!

Darn it!
Every time I help anyone but you,

it always blows up in my face!

[Rita]: I'll find you a safe house.

[John John]: What place
could be safer than jail right now?

And I'm not just asking
for a favour.

I'm giving you something in return,
just like always.

It's about Ahana Jaiswal.

Check out Roshni Barui in Bowbazar.

You might find something useful there.

Arrest me already.

[Rita]: Let's go.

(indistinct chatter)

[Private detective]: Sir,
we have to put a stop to Sanjay.

If this goes on...

[Dheeraj]: Can't we do anything
about this girl?

[Private detective]: I've spoken
with her agent.

We'll ship her off to Mumbai
today itself.

Don't take this the wrong way, sir.

But today, it's Roshni.
Tomorrow, it'll be someone else.

How many can we ship away?
How many can we possibly hide?

Sanjay himself...

[Dheeraj]: Hmm.

[Mrinal]: Sir,
you should hire some interns.

This task won't even be finished
in three days.

[Rahman]: What's the problem now?
Let me see.

(Rahman scoffs)

[Rahman]: What will be the use of interns

if you keep behaving like one, dear?

Use the Geotag API with grouping.

Yeah. Now run the search. Do it.

Well? Will you be able to do it now?

(indistinct chatter)

[Rita]: There's a patient
named Usha Jain. We need her file.

(indistinct chatter)

[Man 1]: What's the matter, ma'am?

[Arjun]: Get Usha Jain's file.

[Man 2]: Sir.
[Rita]: Come on.

[Man 2]: Why are you creating
a scene here?

[Rita]: Look. Let us get our work done.

We're from the Detective Department.

[Man 1]: I don't care
what department you're from.

[Man 1]: Talk to Subir first.
[Arjun]: Who's Subir?

[Man 2]: Who's Subir, you ask?

He's the MLA. The MLA.
Hey, call him up.

(men shout and yell)

[Arjun]: Let us do our job!

[Man 2]: Let go of me! Police!
Police! Let go of me! Let go!

Police! Police!

Destroy everything! The police are here!

Destroy everything!

(indistinct chatter)

(people clamouring)

(people clamouring)

[Man 2]: Destroy everything! Come on!

[Man 2]: Destroy it!
[Man 1]: Destroy everything!

[Man 1]: Destroy everything!
[Man 2]: Quickly!

[Man 1]: Quickly! Destroy it...
[Rita]: Stop!

[Rita]: Stop it!

[Rita]: Out! Out!
[Man 1]: We're leaving. Yes.

[Man 1]: Hey, let's go.
[Rita]: Move!

(indistinct chatter)

(indistinct chatter)

[Nurse 1]: Rita Brown?

Are you the one
investigating the Usha Jain case?

[Male reporter]: Ma'am,
any suspects in the case?

[Female reporter]: The Kolkata
Police have conducted a major raid

in Behala.

It's alleged that sex determination
tests on unborn female fetuses

were conducted at this nursing home,
followed by forced abortions.

It's worth noting

that the MLA for this area
has also surfaced

in connection with this matter.

[Nurse 1]: She didn't want to
go through with the abortion.

She cried her heart out.

But...
But her family didn't listen to her.

[Rita]: So, you're saying
she didn't come here by herself?

(nurse stutters)

[Nurse 1]: No.

Dr Basu performed the test and found
that it was a girl.

He just wrote 'Deformed Fetus'
on the medical form.

I was simply stunned

that her husband didn't come
to see her even once.

She wept so much.

It was heartbreaking to watch her.

[Arjun]: Who was the child's father?

(nurse stutters)

[Nurse]: I assume it was Usha's husband.

[Rita]: You were aware

that sex determination
was being performed there,

and yet, you didn't report it
to the police.

[Nurse 1]: Ma'am...
I was terrified, ma'am.

The doctor had threatened me.

I only found courage
after seeing you, ma'am.

[Rita]: You can go with her now.
[Nurse]: Thank you, ma'am.

Thank you, sir.

[Rita]: To Bowbazar.

[Arjun]: I just got a message
from Mrinal.

Usha made a voice recording
three weeks ago.

[Rita]: Good. Play it.

[Usha]: 'I've finally gotten
my phone back after all this time.'

'Is this even being recorded or...'

'I just need to get some things
off my chest.'

(Usha sniffles)

[Usha]: 'Ideally, I should
just forget it all.'

'But they said doing this
would lighten the burden.'

'But I hope no one ever hears this.'

'May all the pain remain trapped
in this phone.'

'Buried. Lost forever.'

'My father spent his entire life
savings on my marriage to Hemant.'

'But I don't know
what went wrong with Hemant.'

'I was feeling a bit restless.'

'He just went straight to sleep
without saying a single word.'

'I figured he might be exhausted.'

'Father and mother were so sweet.'

'They took such good care of me.'

'It was because of them
that I felt at home there.'

'But then, all of a sudden...'

'All of a sudden, everything changed.'

(knock on door)

[Usha]: 'Hemant was away in Ranchi'

'when father came into my room
for the first time.'

(indistinct chatter on TV)

(indistinct chatter on TV continues)

(Mrs Jaiswal increasing TV's volume)

(indistinct chatter on TV
on high volume)

[Usha]: 'I thought about
telling Hemant everything.'

'But he was already fighting
his own internal battles.'

'The way he was with Ankit...'

'He could never be like that with me.'

'He's gay.'

'He's gay.'

'At least he spoke his truth.'

'But when I told him
what father was doing,'

'he just turned his face away.'

'Even mother was complicit
in everything that was happening.'

'They are desperate for a child.'

'A child Hemant can't give them.'

'I thought about getting a divorce
from Hemant.'

'But when I found out
that I was pregnant,'

'I thought I should stay
for the sake of my baby.'

'After all, what's the child's fault?'

'At least the baby
would have a family, right?'

(Usha sniffles)

[Usha]: 'Mother even took away
my phone'

'so that I couldn't tell anyone
what was happening.'

'But who could I even turn to?'

'I could've told my father,
but he's no longer with us.' (cries)

(Usha sniffles)

[Usha]: 'And having that child
wasn't in my destiny either.'

'I managed
to endure that grief somehow,'

'hoping that losing the baby might
finally make father and mother'

'stop all this.'

(Usha sniffles)

[Usha]: 'But nothing changed.'

'Perhaps it never will.'

'Never.'

(knock on door)

(indistinct chatter)

(car doors shut)

[Woman]: Hey, handsome!

[Rita]: Mumbai?
If you don't want to go, just don't.

The police will provide you
with protection.

[Roshni]: They can't.

You can't even imagine
what Sanjay is capable of doing.

[Arjun]: How long has
he been visiting you?

[Roshni]: Six to seven months.
He'd never lay a hand on me.

He'd never even touch me.

He'd ask me to sit and study.

And he'd just watch me.

But a few months ago, everything changed.

Sanjay saw someone else in me.

He'd vent his frustration on me.

I told Pappu
that I didn't want to continue this.

Sanjay has become really weird.

He makes me put
on a school uniform every time,

and that school uniform
drives him crazy.

[Rita]: School uniform?

(indistinct chatter)

[Arjun]: The father of Ahana's child.
