-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?
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.
