VOICE OF BENGAL, ROMIT SEN YOUR NEWS, YOUR OPINION

TRUTH-SEEKER ARPAN GOSWAMI THE QUEST FOR TRUTH IS ON

Pull over here.

Get going.

Give me a cigarette.

Hey, Palash. Morning duty again?

Don't even ask.

Same old routine.

-Palash. -Hmm?

Look how he's parked the car.

Must be drunk.

Bloody swine. He's definitely drunk.

Hey, you'll cause a traffic jam.

Hey! Whose car is this?

Can you hear me?

Hello?

Sir. Roll down the window.

Why have you parked in the middle--

VOICE OF BENGAL, ROMIT SEN YOUR NEWS, YOUR OPINION

Aren't you Romit Sen?

You lecture others on TV.

But you don't practice what you preach.

How will this work...

What's this?

So much blood?

I...

The number you're calling is not responding.

-Please try after some time. -Idiot. Uff!

Pari.

The number you're calling is not responding.

Please try after some time.

-Yes, ma'am? -Damn it!

Ask Ratan to finish breakfast and get the car.

-Are you leaving now? -Hmm.

-Breakfast? -I won't have breakfast.

Make sure Diti eats when she's back.

When will she be home?

How would I know?

She hasn't been answering my calls.

She has to party and she wants to sleep late.

So annoying!

Keep my phone.

-Tell me if she calls back. -Okay.

-What will you wear? -Civil! Civil dress.

Keep the phone close.

Okay.

Ratul.

Ratul.

Wake up.

Ratul!

-Get up. It's morning. -Hmm?

What's wrong?

Why are you waking me up so early?

-It's 7:00 a.m. Get up. -Don't bug me.

I have classes from 10:00 a.m. today.

Your dad didn't come home last night. Get up!

What?

Get off the car, sir.

Swapan!

Come here.

-What's the matter? -Something is wrong.

Get off, sir.

Hey, he is...

Excuse me.

There's been a bloody murder.

Murder.

DEAD/ALIVE: THE SEARCH OF A MOTHER

You know Vishal's house, right?

Vishal...

Who Vishal, ma'am?

Diti's friend, Vishal Agarwal.

-Does he stay in Alipore? -Yes.

-Take me there. -Okay, ma'am.

-...is currently switched off. - Still switched off.

-What happened to-- -Please calm down.

How can I be calm?

Your dad never switches off his phone.

No texts either...

-Are you done? -Damn it! Uff!

Hurry up, Ratul. Please check.

Where will I go looking for Dad?

Dad was supposed to go to a party last night.

Maybe he drank too much and crashed there.

What rubbish!

Your dad never drinks more than two pegs.

He never drinks too much.

I spoke to him at 11 p.m. He was on his way home.

-Then I dozed off. -The number you're...

Still switched off.

Ratul.

Hurry up and find out where he is.

-Please go. -Mom, please!

Dad will be home soon.

I can't go looking for him.

Mom.

-Call Bijoy uncle. -Right.

Dad was with him last night.

I had called Bijoy.

His phone kept ringing and Reshmi's phone is off.

What to do? Can't think straight.

Who is it?

Mom, it's Bijoy uncle.

Thank you.

Hello.

Greetings.

I'm Brijesh Agarwal.

And you?

Brinda Basu.

Vishal is your--

My younger son.

My daughter, Diti... Um...

She is Vishal's classmate.

Diti?

Then I must've met her.

-Please sit. -Thank you.

His friends...

keep coming over.

But I've heard your name too.

Something related to Kolkata Police, if I'm not wrong.

I'm the Deputy Commissioner of Police.

But I'm not here on official work.

I'm here as Diti's mom--

It's okay. You don't have to explain.

Actually...

the mention of police really...

Tell me. What do you need?

Diti had mentioned...

Last night was Vishal's birthday party...

-She'd be there... -Oh!

Vishal and his parties!

He just needs an excuse to throw a party.

What were you saying?

Did something happen at the party?

Any trouble?

Did Vishal make a nuisance?

I don't know, Mr. Agarwal.

Not sure what really happened there.

What do you mean?

Diti didn't come home last night.

Her phone is switched off. Can't get through to her friends.

-So I thought-- -What?

Vishal came back home last night.

In fact, he's sleeping in his bedroom now.

Listen to this. It's a cop joke.

Cops arrested someone with a fake currency printing machine.

The man says,"Why are you arresting me?

You didn't find any fake notes on me."

Cop says, "Doesn't matter. We found the machine."

The man replies, "Then arrest me for rape too."

Huh?

Cop says, "Why? Have you raped someone?"

Guess what the man said.

"Doesn't matter.

I have the organ to rape someone."

What's going on here?

Sir. Morning.

Chayan was telling us a joke.

Bastards!

You'll never change.

Palash called.

He found a car smeared in blood...

-There he is, sir. -He's in the lockup.

Why in the lockup?

Should've made him sit here.

What a hassle!

He's seems high. Gone completely dumb.

It's a high-profile case.

There will be pressure from the higher-ups.

Anyone there?

Excuse me.

Get back to work.

Yes? Tell me.

Can you please...

give me my phone?

I have to make a call. Please.

What did he say?

What did Bijoy uncle say?

Your dad had left the party at 11:30 p.m. for home.

What the hell!

Why are you crying?

You won't get it.

(indistinct chatter)

How are you, Tarafdar?

So early in the morning?

What else? It's my crappy job.

What's the matter?

The accident case last night.

Here for an update on it.

-Oh! Sanyal is looking into it. -I see.

He's not here right now.

He just went to the canteen.

Do something. Talk to Bela.

You'll find her in the ward.

My day is made!

With a glimpse from Bela.

No, my job isn't that bad.

S**t!

Oh God!

Romit! Where the hell are you?

S**t!

Hello?

Romit's wife called Bijoy.

I called Romit too but his phone is switched off.

What do you want me to do?

Call all the hospitals and police stations.

-And listen-- -I got it, ma'am.

Routine call. Shouldn't take Romit's name.

Correct.

S**t!

Diti hasn't returned home?

What are you talking about?

Ryan, Sudip, Ahana and I returned home around 2:00 a.m.

-What about Diti? -Diti...

What happened, Dad?

Any problem?

Bro, this is...

This is my elder son, Rakesh.

He is the one looking after the business.

Where was Diti when you left the party?

Diti had left quite early.

With Romit sir.

Bella ciao, bella ciao, Bella ciao, ciao ciao

Hello, Bela!

What do you want?

Oh! The girl from the hit-and-run case?

She is still alive. But hasn't come around.

Damn it!

Why do you always talk about work?

Can't we talk about something else?

Did anyone cuss you?

Or do you want me to do it?

-Yes, ma'am? -Sahana.

Listen very carefully and note things down.

Send someone to the Voice TV office.

Get Romit Sen's address.

And bring him to the Police Headquarters, Lalbazar.

Immediately.

Note down a few more names.

Vishal Agarwal and...

Ryan Chatterjee.

Sudip Mitra. Ahana Biswas.

All of them are students at Keshavpur University.

I'm sending you Vishal and Ahana's address.

You'll get the other addresses from them.

Bring all of them to Lalbazar.

Send an officer in civil dress.

-No uniformed officer. Okay? -Ma'am...

Don't have to go to the Voice TV office.

Why?

I used to work for Voice TV before I joined the police force.

I know Romit's address.

Okay. Good.

Can you tell me what--

Just get this done as soon as possible and call me.

-Okay? -Yes, ma'am.

Dutta? Why so late today?

Hey, Dutta. Where's your wife?

Banerjee can't start his day without seeing Reshmi.

Stop it!

Reshmi went to her parents' last night.

Bijoy.

No smoking in the park at this time.

-You know that. -Exactly.

Sorry.

Are you worried about something?

No.

Not at all.

Can I get some tea?

Reshmi.

Did you have a fight with Bijoy?

What do you mean?

Let her have some tea first.

-Why are you-- -Keep quiet.

Listen.

You came home late last night.

You didn't talk to anyone.

Didn't even have dinner. Went straight to bed.

What's the matter?

What's wrong?

Are you feeling unwell?

No. Nothing's wrong.

Everything is fine.

There's no problem.

Don't worry.

Bijoy dropped me last night.

Will I get some tea?

You'll get late for school. Go on.

No, Mom. I won't go today.

There you go. I'm sure it's Dad.

You were worried for no reason.

Please call Romit Sen.

You?

Kolkata Police, Lalbazar.

Where are you taking me?

-Police Headquarters, Lalbazar. -Lalbazar?

Why Lalbazar?

Hey, Romit.

Why are you sitting here like an oldie?

Get on the dance floor.

I am an oldie, Reshmi.

Besides, it's Bijoy and your day.

Make Bijoy dance.

Nothing special about today.

Reshmi always makes me dance to her tunes.

By the way...

I have to use the washroom.

Enjoy your dance.

Know where to draw the line, Reshmi.

Bijoy seems extremely annoyed.

Forget about him. He's always been like that.

Why didn't Gargi'di come?

You call me Romit.

But Gargi is "di"?

I call you Romit...

to make Gargi and Bijoy jealous.

And it works, doesn't it?

You are incorrigible.

Distance.

Sir?

You here?

Diti! Same question.

You here?
