Absolutely perfect!
Slow cook, Jhinuk.
On a low flame.
Gopal's flesh should be melt-off-the-bone tender.
Soft.
Delicious.
That damn b***h!
She looted me!
Thought I wouldn't realise.
Bloody whore!
She stole my money!
Has been secretly having fun with my money!
Damn it!
What's this?
What the hell is this?
Awadhi Cookery Workshop.
Twelve thousand bucks!
Where'd you get so much money?
Stole it, didn't you?
You stole my money!
Why would I steal?
It's my hard-earned money.
-I've been saving up. -Lies!
It's all lies.
Do you think I'm a f**king fool?
New hairstyle, cooking workshop...
Why?
What for?
For whom?
Don't like it here anymore, huh?
This isn't enough for you?
Now you have high-society friends.
Stop acting crazy.
You go around insulting me in front of them?
-Say I just lie around drunk? -Don't touch me!
You want to be belittle me, right?
-You bloody b***h! -Gopal! Stop!
Hey!
-Just you wait! -Gopal!
I'll make you disappear for good.
You'll be gone.
Gone from my life and from this world.
Look!
If you suddenly fall one day, you think anyone will save you?
No one will bother.
Bloody thief!
One can live for duty.
But not without love.
How could you do this?
-How could you do this? -All these years together...
-Our dreams and hopes...
Our dreams and hopes...
You forgot everything?
For one moment of lust...
you threw away our relationship?
Okay. That was perfect.
The machine is a little slow.
Need to restart it. Give me two minutes.
-Hey. -Hmm?
-What happened? -Machine is restarting.
We're making good progress. I think we'll finish early.
I'm sure we will.
What's the use?
I won't get a bus until morning anyway.
Take a cab today. They pay for conveyance.
Saving on the cab allowance means some extra money in hand.
Go home early tonight, Jhinuk.
You need some sleep. You don't look well.
Hmm?
It's nothing.
The scenes are so intense, it takes a toll.
You put in a lot of effort.
You bring the scenes, the moments, to life.
Don't get so emotionally invested.
It builds up.
Oh, well.
There's this new coffee shop.
I've heard it's open all night.
It's quite close. They have matcha too.
Oh.
We can go if you want.
We should finish this.
Yeah.
If we get stuck somewhere, we'll be in a soup.
Alright.
Is the machine running again?
Yes, whenever you're ready.
Oh! I'm ready.
Let's start.
Okay.
-Get back, everyone! -How did it happen?
-I came running... -Don't crowd around.
Can't you see? Get back!
Alcohol, was it?
(indistinct chatter)
How did this happen?
He fell from the balcony.
From up there.
-From up there? -Yes.
What's going on?
Hey, you!
Aren't you his wife?
Hey!
Weren't you home?
KARMA IS A KILLER
Acidity.
My constant companion.
More faithful than a shadow.
Don't mind me.
Sure you won't have some tea?
No thank you, Inspector...
Bhaduri. Bhupen Bhaduri.
-And you are... -Jhinuk.
Jhinuk Das.
Hmm.
Mrs. Das, you have my deepest condolences.
A terrible sight for you first thing in the morning.
You had gone to work, right?
Hmm.
-Dubbing? -Hmm.
Very interesting work, eh?
So what do you dub?
Hindi shows...
Cartoons for kids...
They are all in Hindi.
I dub them in Bengali.
Oh! You lend your voice to fictional characters?
-Yes. -Wow!
Okay, let's get to work.
You have to lend your voice to what happened at your house.
Your statement.
Okay.
This environment...
it's not suitable to talk about your dead husband.
I know it's not.
If there was an AC here...
Some mood lighting, some music...
Sorry.
Our police station's budget...
It's like my stomach.
Always eroding.
Anyway, tell me.
Sure, what do you want to know?
Do you remember what time you got home that day?
Seven o'clock. I returned at seven a.m.
And you returned to find your husband, Gopal Das...
had jumped from the balcony.
Right in front of the house...
Right under the balcony.
I heard. My team was there first.
They checked and found the balcony railing is solid.
It's not rickety.
And there were no signs of a struggle.
So, all good.
Gopal...
Did he saunter to the deck to take in the breeze every evening?
-Excuse me? -Fresh air.
Did he go to the balcony every day?
He used to drink every day. Every single day.
From night to morning.
How did he handle the acidity?
If he drank every day...
Was he drinking, the day this happened?
Yes.
By the time I left...
he had downed two or three pegs.
And his behaviour? Was it normal?
Or did he seem a little different?
No, just how one is after drinking. Not steady.
Were you steady?
I mean your marriage.
Would you call it steady?
Like any other marriage.
When you've been married a long time...
You're saying that Gopal's death was merely an accident.
He went to the balcony. Fell and died.
Right?
The most likely explanation.
Not just most likely. It's the only explanation.
But we have to investigate all angles.
Just routine procedure. Nothing more.
And... oh, you might have to lend your voice again if needed.
I'm usually at home, so it's not a problem.
I go for dubbing at night.
My phone number...
I have your address.
-I'll go over if needed. -Okay.
And if my stomach cooperates, I'll have some tea at yours.
Okay?
-So, may I leave? -Yes.
You may leave, Mrs. Das.
It's fine. It's just a chair.
Can I suggest something?
You kill my husband.
And I'll kill yours.
Game over.
Husbands gone.
I was kidding.
It was just a joke.
No, no...
That's not possible.
(TV playing)
(indistinct announcement)
Jhinuk?
You here?
What a coincidence!
You here, Shahana?
What are you doing here?
I'm glad I ran into you.
I have done my job.
What...
Gopal.
I got rid of Gopal.
Now you will kill Arjun.
That was the deal.
Right?
Hmm?
Take care.
Oh! I'll be watching.
