NAGPANCHAMI
Please drive faster.
-Keep rubbing her hands and feet. -Okay.
Abha!
Can you hear me?
Hello.
We're almost there.
Yes.
Wait there. Okay?
Yes.
Pull over.
What happened? Why are we stopping here?
-We don't have time for this. -Just a moment.
Thanks.
Let's go.
Let's go!
Take it.
Give it to Abha.
When I used to live here
I was once bitten by a snake.
No one knows that I was cured by the snake charmers.
I know you don't believe in this
but I do. Give it to her.
I believe in Ayurvedic medicine.
No, I don't know yet.
They haven't said anything yet. But I'm sure we will need blood.
Arrange for AB positive blood.
I'll ask them how much we need.
I don't know yet.
-But we have to at least-- -So sad!
I'll call you later.
Frequenting hospitals on a vacation.
How did you vex Goddess Manasa?
Stop blaming God for everything.
We are born because of God. We die because of God.
Why would Goddess Manasa want to destroy a family?
Well, She did want to destroy
Chand Sadagar's family.
Who's the Chand Sadagar of your family?
Let's talk over a cup of tea.
Yesterday, you threatened Abha.
Didn't you?
I scolded her. Didn't threaten her.
I was the one who suspected you.
You could've attacked me.
-What-- -Rajnandini!
What are you saying?
-It's because of the Goddess' wrath-- -No, aunty.
I saw someone outside Abha's room.
Who's there?
Who is it?
Rajnandini, I think you're mistaken.
Abhi might be short-tempered but he's not a murderer.
He would've killed the promoter if we weren't there.
What nonsense! As if he and Abha are the same!
You see no difference when someone is against you.
Oh really?
How you do know me so well?
Hmm?
How?
-Officer. -Yes?
I'm sure Abhi has done it.
He's always hanging out with snake charmers.
He knows how to handle a snake.
If I was a killer, no one in the family would be alive.
That's what you're trying to do.
Listen to me loud and clear.
If anything happens to Abha, I won't spare you.
What will you do?
-Tell me. -That's enough!
Stop it! Act your age.
Oh no!
You stopped them?
He was just about to confess.
Anyway, since everyone's getting bitten by snakes
it calls for an investigation.
Rajnandini wants Abhi's room searched.
Let's do it.
Yes, please.
Careful. There might be snakes inside.
Where's your room?
Where is your room?
I asked you something.
If you want to confess, this is your last chance.
Stop yapping. Just help yourself.
I asked you, where's your room?
Hey--
-Sir? -Follow me.
(humming)
Search the room.
But careful.
(continues humming)
Anything here?
-Move. -Okay.
Nothing here.
-Nothing. -Nope.
Nothing.
Check the other side.
Found anything?
(indistinct chatter)
O Goddess!
I have a wife and two kids.
Please keep me safe.
Check properly.
-Behind the cupboard? -Check.
Okay.
Found anything?
No, sir. Nothing.
-Move. -Nothing.
Hey--
-What's that? -I'll check, sir.
-I'll-- -Wait.
Let me handle this.
Bring a chair.
-Get a chair. -Yes.
Move.
Hold me steady.
Yes, sir.
-Hold him steady. -Help him.
Get a stool.
Yes, sir.
Sir...
There you go, sir.
Protect me, Goddess.
The 200-year-old snake.
-Hey! -Watch out!
-Are you okay, officer? -Are you okay, sir?
(indistinct chatter)
Huh?
What's happening?
He has the snake!
-Abhi! -Taha.
-You attacked Abha? -Don't go near him.
-Taha! -How could you?
-How dare you? -You're wrong.
How dare you?
Taha!
He has a snake. Get away from him.
-Taha, you're mistaken. -Get away!
-You know nothing. -How dare you?
-Taha! -Taha!
You're mistaken.
-Taha! -Taha!
-Let me see. -Gosh!
Are you okay?
No need to worry.
This is my pet snake.
I've removed its venomous fangs.
It can't bite.
My baby.
Are you alright?
I got really scared, Taha.
Really scared.
It's my fault.
If I hadn't involved Abha...
If I hadn't lashed out at Abhi...
Then she would've been fine.
You saw Abhi doesn't have any venomous snakes.
If he can remove snake fangs, he can very well have venomous snakes.
Remember what I gave you?
Have you kept it safely?
Have you?
You know what I think, sir...
-There was a detective film. -Hmm.
The killer used a syringe to inject the snake venom.
Then made two puncture wounds to make it look like a snake bite.
I think that's what happened here.
No.
I have full confidence in Goddess Vishahari.
But since you brought it up, let's not blame the goddess.
First, we should pay a visit to the snake charmers.
Find out whether any snake venom was stolen
or bought from them.
Bless us, Goddess.
-Rajnandini. -Hmm.
Come here.
Mom called.
Abha has come around.
-Will you go to the hospital with me? -Yes.
You go. I'll be right there.
Durba.
I'm going to the hospital.
Keep an eye on everyone.
Especially Abhi.
Call me if there's any trouble, okay?
How are you, Abha?
Hey...
Who came to your room?
That's my line.
Who came to your room?
Don't be afraid.
Who was it?
I saw...
Goddess Manasa.
What did you say?
She saw Goddess Manasa?
What is happening?
One after the other...
What did we do deserve this?
I don't know!
I don't know what's going on and why.
I was on the bed.
Suddenly, the door opened.
I tried to see...
...who it was.
Then all of a sudden...
someone threw ash at me.
Then...
Something bit me on the hand.
That's when I saw Goddess Manasa.
Then I blacked out.
Everything wrapped up?
-Yes. -Okay--
-Sukalyan! -Yeah?
Saheli!
What happened?
Why did you go to Abha's room?
Did I ask you to go?
Abha? Who's that?
She's my sister!
You tried to scare her?
-You scared her with a snake? -No.
Are you crazy? Why would we go to her room?
And we returned long back.
Didn't go there again.
Why?
What happened?
Huh?
Um...
It wasn't you?
-No. -No.
(indistinct conversations)
Hello?
Yes, Bhim.
(indistinct conversation)
What?
Wait.
What's wrong?
We have to take the body now.
For postmortem.
I have to follow orders.
We will take Abhi's body.
We will set it afloat on a raft.
Don't hold on to a snake-bitten corpse.
Give him to us.
Calm down, everyone.
The body has to be taken for further examination.
I'm just following orders.
Once we're done, you can decide what to do.
Avinash.
Certain rules must be followed for death by snake bite.
He was the eldest son. He deserves a proper funeral.
We won't give you the body.
He deserved that respect when he was alive.
What's the point now?
As per family tradition...
Abhi will be cremated.
Then we will immerse the idol...
sell the house and leave this place forever.
-Brother! -Uncle!
Should I help you to your room?
-Huh? -Should I help?
Okay...
-Careful. -Come.
Slowly.
Be careful.
Watch out for the stairs.
Abhi wanted us to
set his body afloat on a raft if he dies by snake bite.
He was very dear to us.
You won't give us his body?
No, we won't.
Fine.
At least return his snake.
And the clothes in which he performed the rituals.
Let us set those afloat.
He loved us.
Uncle Avinash is feeling very weak.
Can you make salt-sugar water?
Okay.
Ma'am has not eaten anything since last night.
She's on heavy medication.
She fainted in college the other day.
So let me cut some fruits for her first?
-Sure. -Okay.
You murdered him, sir?
Just because he performed the rituals?
-You killed him? -Hey!
Don't you dare talk rubbish.
You're the servant. Don't interfere.
Servant? Want me to spill the beans?
Have you gone mad?
Can a father kill his son?
Father?
You, a father?
For 35 years, I've been bringing you herbs from snake charmers.
But you're no closer--
Huh?
Quiet!
Shut your mouth!
Goddess Vishahari!
Forgive me. I'm just following orders.
I have no option. Please don't punish me.
Don't kill--
(indistinct chatter)
Officer?
What happened?
Why did you scare me?
What?
When will we get the postmortem report?
The primary report will be ready by evening.
I need Abhi's blood test reports.
Need to know his blood group.
And I need your help.
What help?
Umm.
Two impersonators are hiding in the forest.
A Manasa impersonator.
And a Shiva impersonator.
I believe they have something to do with what's been happening.
You still don't believe it's the Goddess' curse?
I won't even if the Goddess tells me.
Oh.
I said it wasn't us.
Then how did Abhi die?
How would we know?
Leave right now. Or we...
We'll be in trouble.
Huh?
He said we'll be in trouble.
Trouble?
Hello... Mic testing...
Hello... Testing... One...
-That's the green room, sir. -That way?
-Let's go. -Yes, sir.
One, two, three...
Mic testing...
Excuse me.
Excuse me, ma'am.
Do I look like a ma'am?
Sorry.
My bad.
The actress who plays Goddess Manasa...
Did she try to scare the Mitras?
Why? Does she look like she's jobless?
I'm sure she's very busy.
So busy.
-Okay. -Hey.
I've seen two imposters in the forest.
What?
They come here to smoke up.
Catch them if you can.
In the forest?
Let's go.
O-Okay, sir.
Careful, sir. Watch your step.
Be careful, sir.
-That way. -That way?
-Careful. There might be snakes. -Yes, sir.
Watch your step.
Check the other side.
You go that way.
Split up and search.
Search the place.
Sir.
Who's there?
