[birds singing]
Momo.
You don't want to carry on living like this anymore
because you want to be free of this pain and agony, don't you?
[AD] But what if this pain stays with you forever?
Even after you die.
Then what is the point of dying?
Do you have some kind of remote control
that you can press and prolong your life?
[AD] What if I could find such a remote control?
Would you want to live forever?
Be immortal?

[song playing on radio]

[breathes deeply]
[Biren] Rumi, Rumi, Rumi!
[Kartik] You came here for dinner, right?
I'm doing the 16-Monday fast.
If he remembers what happened on the balcony, then…
be a bit of a problem, right?
[Meera] We feast upon the blood of these humans.
So how can we sit down and dine with them, Rumi?
Don't worry, Meera. You and me don't drink this blood, do we?
And if something goes wrong, then…
we will just Deep-Hyp them.
Meera.
I know they're humans.
But they're really nice, okay?
Please, just for one evening, forget who we are and what we are.
For my sake.
We are doing this only for your sake, Rumi.
Otherwise I had promised myself that I would never be among humans again.
We have to make sure to get back soon.
Because if Ora finds out, all three of us are missing,
then we'll never be allowed to go back down again.
-So no mistakes, not even by accident. -Mm-hmm.
Act normal. Everything will be fine.
Are we abnormal
that we have to act normal?
Sometimes you people act very weird.
Weird? Both of us?
Hey, don't get too cocky, okay?
Normal.
[cheerful music playing]
[doorbell rings]
Oi! They're here.
-Shubol. Shubol. -Maa!
This is what I mean. Relax. Just act normal.
Finally we meet. [chuckles]
We were curious to know who are the creators of our Rumi.
I mean, we have created quite a few like her,
but out of all of them, Rumi is our absolute favourite. [laughs]
I was told that you wouldn't be having dinner with us.
When Jamini heard this, she fell into depression.
After all, this is the first time you've come to our place.
-It would have been nice. -Tradition, Mrs. Roy, tradition.
When the girl's parents come to the boy's house,
they can't eat anything, absolutely nothing.
-It's a matter of life and death. -Life and death?
I meant to say… [chuckles] …wife and bed.
No, that is, if you really want to make Roy and Rumi, man and wife,
then we're sure to bedding, right?
[all laughing]
Your thinking is very modern, but the clothes you're wearing
are a little old fashioned.
Old?
Oh, this dhoti [laughing].
The thing is, I've taught so many people how to wear a dhoti
that I thought why not wear one myself tonight. [laughs]
-I see. -And since you say that we're modern,
actually Meera and I…
we are old, really old.
So old that you can't even calculate our age.
Speak for yourself, dear.
As for me, one look at someone youthful and my garden blooms.
[laughing]
You're forgetting one thing.
You are so ancient
that the archaeological department is still looking for your remains.
[laughing]
[Baba Roy] But tell me.
Would this tradition of yours prevent you from having
this 18-year-old triple-cask scotch?
No.
I ordered it especially because you all were coming.
Oh.
Waah!
Wonderful.
My empty goblet has been thirsting for some of that fine spirit, Dr. Roy.
Maa…
Make it large. [laughs]
That's the spirit. That's the spirit.
When Her Majesty said yes, then Your Highness must surely agree
-to have a little sip. -No, no.
If she is having a large one, then I'll have a double large.
-[laughing] That's amazing. -[Meera laughs]
Will you also have one today?
Our son is getting married.
Uh…
What are you saying?
Okay, all right.
-Just a small one. -Yes!
I'll get some glasses.
[laughs excitedly]
[telephone ringing]
[telephone continues ringing]
Where is he?
-Doctor? -Yeah. Who else?
He went home.
There was some emergency, so.
Emergency?
Can I help you, sir?
Yeah, maybe. Come in.
-Should I wait for you outside? -Yeah.
-That girl, Rumi. -Yeah, I know.
When did she last come here?
That's it. That's Mrs. Guptoo, an RCT patient on her way in.
Now you'll see Rumi entering the clinic,
and then I'll run after her into the inner room.
What was that?
I know what it was.
So there was a gentleman, a bit of a playboy type.
He was fond of all kinds of women.
But he wanted to do something to serve his country.
Ah…
So first, I got a photo session done
of him with some children.
A playboy made to look like a good boy.
Secondly, I told him to tuck in a rose in here.
A red rose in the pocket of his coat.
You know.
A rose near the heart of a man…
means is a good man.
Outstanding.
Rumi Maa looks even more beautiful in a saree.
You know, when I was her age, I was already married.
And Babu Shona was so eager to come out that he would keep kicking me.
-Babu Shona? -Doc Roy.
-[Meera] Mmm. -That's his nick name.
In our community, everyone has two names.
One is the proper name and the other is the nickname.
I see.
So by what nickname do you address your husband?
Mmm.
For him, it's "Dear, are you listening?"
Or maybe, "Listen, my dear."
-That's how I address him. -Why?
-Does your husband not hear well? -He only hears what he wants to hear.
[laughs]
Saying his name with my own lips would feel a little strange.
To which century have we come back?
I thought we'd left all this behind.
Meaning?
There was another young man.
What a gifted painter. And he painted all kinds of things.
Film posters, flora, fauna, women.
But you know, he didn't have a…
signature style that was his own.
So, what did you tell him?
Slippers. I made him take them off.
And I said, listen, this will keep you grounded.
[Roy] Baba.
-What? What are you doing? -Mr. David.
I've been looking for someone like you.
-I know, only you can help me. -Help with what?
I've always wanted to develop a candy that works as a mouth freshener.
But nowadays, the market is…
filled with all kinds of mint candy.
And that's why this invention of mine hasn't found any takers yet.
But I want this to be the legacy I leave behind.
I think the problem is the candy.
What?
Not candy, but something else.
That won't stick in the mouth
but will clean it up like a sponge.
Yeah.
Rasgulla.
Use rasgullas to create your new mouth-freshener dessert.
A gift from Bengal to the whole world.
[bell dings]
Oh, my God.
Roy and you have already shared a bed, right?
-[clears throat] -Share a bed?
-Sex. -[gasps]
And no, Roy and I haven't yet.
What?
Why?
Rumi.
This is very important before marriage.
What are you-- What a shocking thing to say!
No, no, Rumi. Rumi Maa, please go outside.
Let the grown-ups talk for a minute.
-Oh, my God. -Stand right there.
Arey!
She needs to listen and learn to do it the right way.
Look, only through the union of our physical selves
can there be a meeting of the souls.
And if that physical union is flawed,
then this marriage is not going to survive.
What do you mean it won't survive? Why won't it?
My darling Babu Shona is pure gold.
Twenty-four-karat gold.
And anyway,
one's wedding night should only come after the wedding.
Jamini ji.
A marriage only takes place once.
I mean, you only marry the same person once, right?
Yeah.
But physical relations, that's going to happen many times.
So they should make it as good as can be.
Don't you think?
Shouldn't they try to make their nights…
more beautiful?
Shouldn't they do a little
-Mashk for love? -Mashk?
Mashk.
Training.
One time, a besotted gentleman
asked for my hand soon after meeting me.
So I told him…
"Could you please take off your dhoti?
If I find everything to my liking, then I'll accept your proposal."
[quietly] Did he take it off?
Of course.
But I didn't fall in love with it.
Why?
Now, if only one weapon…
is going to serve me all my life,
then at least it should be a rifle.
What good is a puny pistol?
[both laughing]
This is the same day, right,
when she brought me in to investigate the burglary?
Yeah, but how could she be missing from this footage too?
Did she photoshop herself out of the video?
If only it was photoshopped.
Sir, what are you doing?
There's just one last thing I need to check.
Are you allowed to do that?
Do I look like a suspended police officer to you?
-Your doctor's life is in danger. -Why? Because of Rumi?
Tell me, does your doctor keep a record of all his patient's ailments,
and prescriptions anywhere?
Yeah, there's a diary in his drawer.
-Yeah. -Okay, just tell me one last thing.
When Rumi first came here, did she come as a patient?
Was her tooth broken or anything like that?
Actually I had already left that night.
I think it was 19th of August.
"Nerve is hanging from root stump
but right canine is completely broken."
What's Dr. Roy's address?
[Meera] It was endless.
The longest one.
[Rumi] I can't tell if things are going well or badly.
[Roy] That's good, right?
How?
I mean, I don't know if things are falling into place for falling apart.
But as long as Maa-Baba don't remember anything, we should be fine.
Even if they do remember, there's not much we can do now.
-Yeah. -Let's get out of here?
Out of here and go where?
It's such a big house, you don't have a room?
[romantic Hindi song playing]
[cell phone vibrating]
-Who is it? -It's from the clinic.
-Take the call. -Hmm?
It must be the receptionist with her daily update. I'll call her back.
Answer the call.
Rumi, it's my first time, so,
I would like to…
Okay.
I'm telling you. That's why she's calling.
Hello?
[Anisha] Doctor, it's me.
I know it's you.
-Doctor, that police officer was here. -What? Again?
He watched all the old CCTV footage and Rumi couldn't be seen in any of it.
Hmm.
Okay, and?
He knows that her tooth was broken, and he's also taken your address.
[horns honking]
[Kartik] Hey, white car.
Hello.
Forward, forward. Move forward.
You come forward a little.
Yeah, go now. He's through. Go on, man.
-Thank you, officer. -Yeah, yeah. No problem.
This Janak road. Do you know where it is?
It's right under your feet.
-What do you mean? -This is Janak road.
-What is the house number? -165/1.
-Dr. Roy's house? -Hmm.
Follow me, officer.
[doorbell rings]
Officer…
I hope this is not a serious matter.
It could be.
-Adi babu. -Shubol da.
-How are you? -All good. All good.
It's been a long time.
-[AD laughs] Where is he? -[Shubol] He's right there.
[AD] Ah!
Hey, Dentu!
Are you still dreaming about teeth?
-Aye, Adu! -[both laughing]
Where's my sister-in-law?
She went up for a little nap.
Bit of an upset stomach.
Actually, she had too much to drink.
-And you didn't have any at all? -[laughing]
Hey, what are you doing? You'll fall down, Dentu.
Hold on. This officer is here to have a word with you.
No, sir. Actually, I'm here to meet Dr. Roy.
I am Dr. Roy.
What do you want to ask me?
No, sir. He is a young man and a dentist.
He has a clinic at Lake Market.
I am also a dentist. My clinic is also at Lake Market.
And I believe, I'm still young.
-Young! -[both laughing]
-Oh, gosh. -Uncle.
Hi. I think he's talking about your son.
Oh, right.
He is also Dr. Roy.
Exactly. So can I please meet your son now?
-He's not at home right now. -Then where is he?
Oh. He's not at home?
I just wanted the two of them to meet at least once in our presence.
Yes, that would have been wonderful.
But we had some guests over for dinner, and he's gone to drop them.
So you will have to manage with his photo for now.
[laughing]
That's it.
You are not allowed to come beyond this invisible line.
Yes, I know.
Sorry about the last time.
So what have you both decided?
Where you see this going?
Right now, we are together, that's more than enough.
But when the whole universe is against two lovers,
what can anyone really do to help them?
At least you both are with us.
Sometimes a little blessing goes further than all the curses.
Wow.
Who wrote this?
Um…
Rumi's lover.
[all laugh]
It's a good thing you listen to David and not me.
This boy is really very special.
Oh.
-So this was a test? -Mm-hmm.
But, Roy, you should go now.
Go home and make sure everything is all right.
Yeah, they got a bit carried away.
I have never seen this side of Maa-Baba either.
I don't know what kind of spell you have put on them.
[chuckles]
-Yeah, I should leave. -Mm.
Good night.
Aren't you forgetting something?
Are you my brother?
Is this how you kiss?
No, but Rumi, in front of…
Now I understand why his product never managed to reach the market.
Virgin blood and all that.
-Rumi, they know? -Uh…
-Status changed. -What?
Actually, Roy's blood isn't limited-edition anymore.
[whispers] Rumi, what are you saying?
-Really? -[all laughing]
Haye!
How do you even begin to express the joy I feel, Rumi?
I think I should-- I should make a move.
Okay, okay. Take care, bye.
I'll go.
[laughing]
Luna di.
Hey.
-What are you doing? -Hey, Luna di!
[Kartik] Hey, shut up. You want to get locked up?
You can't do this just because you're police.
-Shut up! -She's sleeping. Come back in the morning.
-There you go. You've woken her up. -Stop blabbering.
Hey, Luna di. I need to speak to you urgently
-and this fellow won't let me in. -Show him to the office.
Had too much to drink today, Kartik?
I'm actually finally in my senses.
And I woke you up at this hour
because I knew you would want this information as soon as possible.
What do you mean?
I mean, I found out who murdered Haru da that night.
The dentist, right?
No.
It's not someone you know.
Who is he? Where can I find him?
Not him. Find her.
I'll find her.
Because she doesn't know that I found out what she really is.
Bring this creature to me, Kartik.
I'll turn her death into such a spectacle
that they will never dream of entering the human world again,
not even by accident.
I don't think anyone saw us coming back in.
Yeah, and I don't think anyone saw us go out either.
-Let's walk in separately. -Hmm.
Rumi, where were you?
Nowhere. I was right here.
[woman] Dressed up like this?
Yeah, I thought, let's try something new, you know.
-I'll see you around. -Okay.
You. It was you.
It was definitely you.
That beautiful demon.
You are the one who bit me at the party that night.
-Of course not. -You're the reason I'm stuck down here
living with strangers.
-Listen, I think you're mistaking me-- -No, not at all.
I remember everything now.
You took me to that restaurant and…
-You destroyed my life. -[Amar] Rumi.
Rumi, Rumi, Rumi, Rumi.
[in demonic voice] Rumi!
[in normal voice] It looks like your time is finally up.
You have to let me break the good news to Ora, okay?
[laughs maniacally]
Friends, friends, friends.
Open up the prison doors. We have a new guest.
Rumi, time to twist and shout.
[Mamata] No one has ever escaped their fate.
You have to accept that fact, Adi.
Have you ever seen bees in a beehive, Momo?
You'll find the Queen Bee is always taking care of her worker bees.
She's the one who gives them life.
But what does the Queen Bee get in return?
It's not fair.
It's so not fair.
It's as if she is just a caretaker.
I think it's time that the Queen Bee demanded her share.
[mumbling]
Rumi.
You finally got caught, huh?
'Cause you weren't at the gate, CB…
to my safe entry and exit.
Hey, hey…
Do you have one of those bottles with you?
Huh?
I haven't had a drop of blood in weeks.
My skin…
See, it's peeling off.
Do you have some, my rebel?
[chuckles]
[laughs] Idiot.
Did he tell you?
How he's going to kill you?
Ora? He refuses to meet me.
I think he is going to hand me over to AD.
Just as well.
All he'll do is cut your head off.
He won't kill you a little at a time.
This bloody salt.
I'll go mad counting all this. I'll go insane.
Three hundred twenty-one.
Thirty thousand three hundred twenty-two.
Twenty-three.
Thirty thousand three hundred twenty-four.
[slow instrumental music playing]
I was at the metro station all day today.
I saw 48 trains pass by.
No.
Forty-nine. Yeah.
Maybe she hasn't stepped out for a few days.
It's very unlike her.
I mean… she usually comes to my clinic every night.
Even when we had that huge fight, she still turned up.
Is she…
-immobile like me? -Yeah, she doesn't use.
There's no network down there and then her…
her voice can't be transmitted through radio waves.
-Something of that sort. -How fascinating.
Ian, you're not understanding my problem.
It's been 63 hours since I've been with her and I…
-I miss her. -Maybe she's not feeling top of the world.
You know, girl issues every month.
They never fall sick and…
I don't think they get periods either.
You don't think?
Okay. Ian, I'm sorry. I should have asked her,
"Do you get periods or not?"
Come on.
So how will you become a father?
Didn't think of that, did you?
Roy, you remind me of a quiz contestant on TV,
who's somehow managed to make it to the hot seat.
And then found that he doesn't have the answers to any of the questions.
My advice to you would be to go down the rabbit hole again…
and find out what's happened to her.
But…
I don't think I should go there. It's too risky.
But nowadays, you seem to be doing a lot of things
that you shouldn't be doing, right?
And when you meet her,
give her these pictures.
[dramatic music playing]
[Roy] David.
David.
Hey. [clears throat]
Yes.
What are you doing here?
Rumi. I haven't seen her for the past two days, so--
So you landed up here?
-Yeah, I thought that I-- -What did you think?
You can come whenever you want?
If someone catches you here, you're dead.
Bloody idiot. Come inside.
You know what?
In 300 years, you're probably the first human to…
come down into our world.
Of course, except for AD and his boys.
AD, who's that?
Believe me, you don't want to know about him.
And if AD doesn't know about you, it's better for all of us.
Why the hell did you come here?
Rumi. I just told you about it.
Yeah, Rumi.
She's in deep trouble.
What happened to Rumi? Where is she?
In jail.
Ora is punishing her.
Ora who?
Oh, my God.
David, please, can I meet Rumi just this once?
-Just for a minute. -Okay, fine.
-Just shut up for a minute. -Okay.
[creaking]
Rumi.
Rumi. Rumi, I'm here.
David has told me everything, Rumi.
-I'll get you out of here. -Yeah.
We'll run away as far as we can.
Away from all these people.
From all these rules.
-These awful rules. -[weakly] Please…
Will you do me a favour and tell my dentist friend that I'll…
come see him…
as soon as I can?
Rumi, I'm right here.
Rumi. Rumi.
-[gasps] Doc Roy. -Yes, yes, Rumi.
Rumi.
I was so worried about you.
Your blood doesn't taste that amazing anymore.
I miss your virginity.
[laughs]
Can't help it.
-Can I wipe that blood, please? -[laughs]
Yeah.
Rumi.
Who is he?
Don't worry about him.
Okay.
We need to get out of here, Rumi.
David was telling me that
he would try and speak to someone about getting you out of here.
Ora, yes.
He'll speak to Ora to get you out of here.
But I think we should make a run for it.
But where will we go?
Anywhere. Far away from here. We…
We'll make a fresh start.
Just you and I.
Yeah.
New name, new life.
New city.
-[excitedly] Hmm. -What do you think?
Let's go.
Where nobody knows who we are and where nobody will be able to find us.
Let's do it.
CB. CB, what are you doing?
-I'm sorry. -Rumi, what is he doing?
I have to do this to save my life.
I have no choice.
[Rumi] CB, please don't.
CB!
How do we stop it? How do we stop it?
Roy, you have to get out of here.
Please, please, please, Roy.
We'll get out of here. I've to find a way.
-I just have to find a way. -No! Roy!
[weakly] Here! There's a human!
Everyone!
