01x01 - Resurrection

Post by bunniefuu »

After a long time

my body felt heavy

this morning.

I couldn't move my body

when I woke up.

I thought my prayers

have been answered.

It's time for my salvation.

I felt happy.

Started saying my final prayers.

Finished my prayers in a breath

for I thought my time's up.

I don't have to hang any more convicts.

Then who will be the chief hangman,

boss?

I asked God

I've k*lled 30 people outside.

And here

I've hanged 32 prisoners.

How many more to go

for my 120-year sentence to end?

How many more do I have to hang?

It's a simple calculation.

But my calculations don't match theirs.

So I said my prayers

and accepted everything.

Jalal, keep this under my pillow.

Where is the wax?

Grease the rope with wax.

Why do we grease the noose?

Why?

If it's not butter-smooth

it can cut deep through the skin.

The head might even get severed.

Why make him suffer so much

when he's going to die anyway?

Make the noose and grease it.

Whoever makes the best noose,

will become the chief hangman.

-How many more years for you?

-Four more years.

Oh.

-So, 10 more hangings.

-Hmm.

Once I'm out, I can have a feast

at my wife's second wedding.

Do you sense a bad omen, boss?

A storm is brewing.

CELL 145

PART 1

MOSTAK AHMED

JAILER

Who's supposed to keep track

of entries and exits?

How can a woman enter

the prison quarters at night?

First, a prisoner breaks out.

Now, a woman gets in.

What are you here for?

You mess up

and I have to bear the brunt of it.

Sorry, sir.

I don't want an apology.

What am I supposed to tell

the authorities?

Do you have any idea

what the reporters are saying?

Hmm?

Mostak.

Are we running a hotel here?

Are you the receptionist?

Am I the manager?

Huh?

Why are you quiet?

Am I running a brothel?

Three hundred and twenty-six.

You fked up the counting.

Do it again.

-Hey.

-Sir.

Where are you off to?

AKASHNAGAR CENTRAL JAIL

-Who is he?

-He joined today, sir.

We missed the eventing count

in all this confusion.

Haven't I told you?

Don't talk to me

with betel leaf in your mouth.

Spit it out!

AKASHNAGAR CENTRAL JAIL

You can't keep quiet.

Sir--

If you can't handle the pressure,

let me know.

I'll have you posted in the hills.

Go to the hills.

I hope the greenery

will help you concentrate on your work.

Hmm?

-Ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen

-Hey, move.

Sit up!

-sixteen

-How many times will you count?

Sit straight.

-Do we have a new scapegoat?

-Hey!

that's 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35

Don't look at me like that.

I'll lose my heart.

Get back to your place.

-Yes, love.

-Don't you dare!

thirty-six.

I came to know from the papers

and social media.

If that's how it's going to be,

then I should quit.

I'll appoint a newspaper editor

as the IG instead.

Should I?

Hey!

One hundred and twenty-four

One hundred and twenty-five

How did the prison's CCTV footage

get leaked?

HUMAYUN KABIR

Mostak, who's the mole?

One hundred and forty-two

Who did she want to meet?

-A prisoner or

-No, sir.

Then?

I want a report on it.

Who let her in?

Why was she here?

Who leaked the footage and how?

Who all are involved?

Everything.

All details.

Yes, sir.

You have two days.

Sir

Okay, seven days.

MATRICHAYA

Two hundred and sixty-two

Two hundred and sixty-three

Two hundred and sixty-four

Two hundred and sixty-five

No need to see me off.

I'm watching you.

He wants a report.

Who should I blame?

Tell me?

I've told you not to do anything

without informing me.

How long will you keep this up, huh?

Shut down all the syndicates right now.

I don't care who it is.

No more ill*gal business here!

Not even cigarettes.

Why only cigarettes?

Even an ant shouldn't get in

without my permission.

Am I clear

or do I have to repeat myself?

Why are you all still standing here?

Get to work!

Go!

Khayer.

Sir.

Who leaked the footage?

Find out.

Please look into it.

I don't want any more trouble.

And

I'll take care of the report.

Sir.

How many?

He has counted one extra prisoner.

Three hundred and twenty-six.

He must have counted himself too.

Send him again.

See for yourself

if you don't believe me.

I don't need to.

I can tell you the exact count

even with my eyes shut.

There are 325 inmates.

Bet on it?

What will we get

if he loses the bet?

-Biryani.

-Biryani.

Deal?

Promise to treat us all.

Come on.

I'll count.

Come on.

Did you lose the key again?

Left it in the office.

I'm planning to bake a cake.

Like a home-made cake.

I've learnt it from the internet.

I've bought all the ingredients too.

Water.

I'll get it ready.

When will we go?

In the morning or in the evening?

Evening is best.

We can light candles.

Besides, I can't take the cake

right after baking it.

It'll take time to freeze.

Or else the cream will melt.

Get me the hot water.

Okay.

Tell me.

Just heard about your scandal.

Anything else?

What exactly happened?

I'll tell you when we meet.

Someone threaten you or something?

Hmm.

Transfer to the hills.

Well then, practice sleeping

without a mosquito net.

If you want,

I can give you free tips.

Are you coming to the club?

You'll know if I go.

What's wrong?

You didn't tell me

when we'll be going.

Women are not allowed

in the prison quarters now.

Who made a rule like that?

I did.

Don't you know the situation?

-If I let you in now--

-Stop making excuses.

Have you fed the birds?

Okay.

What happened?

You promised to take me there

on his birthday.

I did.

But I didn't know

this would happen.

Why did you let it happen?

I had warned you.

You think I did it on purpose?

-You're not getting it, Panna.

-You are not getting it.

You've been giving me false hopes

for the last two months.

You can see him whenever you want.

But what about me?

They'll suspect us

if we go there together.

Just a few more days.

Once his VISA is ready

Then he'll be out of the country.

How will I meet him then?

When will we celebrate his birthday

together again?

You will, if he lives.

What do you want?

You want our son to be safe, right?

That's what I'm trying to ensure.

Two hundred and fifty-eight.

Two hundred and fifty-nine.

Two hundred and sixty.

Two hundred and sixty-one.

Two hundred and sixty-two.

Panna.

Panna.

Why don't you get it?

I have to be in charge of this jail

till Sajib is released.

What if they suddenly transfer me

somewhere else?

Then we'll lose everything.

You'll lose me too.

Two hundred and sixty-seven.

Add them up.

What's the total?

Three hundred and twenty-five.

Besides treating us all,

you'll be on night duty.

Why?

Won't you count him?

-Who?

-That prisoner.

Are you blind?

Can't you see this rusty lock?

This cell has been shut

since before you were born.

Sir.

Look.

There's a prisoner.

Do you see him?

What's wrong?

What is it?

Tell me.

-Sir.

-Where?

Matrichaya cell block.

Which cell?

Cell 145.

Hey!

A mysterious bird in the cage!

He'll be back!

MATRICHAYA

Hey!

-Sir.

-Here, sir.

(indistinct singing)

Sir, we've called out to him.

Threw stones at him too.

But he's not responding.

He's fast asleep.

First, make this guy shut up.

Open it.

-Hey! Stop singing!

-Sir, we don't have the key.

I've sent someone

to get the old key from the locker.

Should we break it open?

-Which one, sir?

-How would I know?

Try all the keys.

One has to work.

Sir, I can't open it.

The keyhole is rusty.

That's that, then.

You all go.

I'll be on guard.

Hmm?

-Break the damn lock!

-Yes, sir.

Hey, go find a way.

Go!

Sir.

Sir.

Hey, rascal!

Hey, you b*stard!

Hey!

He's unfazed.

Hey!

Hey.

Get up.

Hey!

Drop the act.

Hey!

Get up!

Sleeping like a log.

What a hassle!

Damn it!

Hey, give me a hand.

What are you waiting for?

Come here.

(indistinct chatter)

Get him.

-Hey, get up!

-Get up!

(indistinct chatter)

Sleeping like a bloody log!

Hey!

(indistinct)

-Where did you come from?

-Hey!

What the hell?

Isn't this Bulbul?

Look, sir.

Who told you this is Bulbul?

Hey, I don't need to be told.

Didn't recognise him with the beard.

But I'm sure he's Bulbul.

-He didn't have a beard.

-So what? He does now.

Take a good look at him.

-How will Bulbul get in?

-I'm telling you, it's Bulbul.

-Look closely.

-You see.

Shut up!

Sorry, sir.

Not here.

-Take him outside.

-Yes, sir.

Come on!

Get up!

Who's Bulbul?

He escaped from jail

two years ago.

-So, he has returned now.

-What do you mean?

This cell has been shut for 50 years.

Didn't you see?

We couldn't find the key.

We had to break the lock.

How would Bulbul go inside the cell?

Why was it kept shut?

Whenever a prisoner has been kept

in cell 145

he's hung himself the next day.

We couldn't stop any of them.

That's why they sealed it.

Then how did he enter?

Is he
