02x01 - The Birth

[bunniefuu]

Breathe.
Take deep breaths.

-A little more.
-Push.

-The baby is crowning.
-Almost there, sis.

Sis...



Sister, she's bleeding.

Quickly get the cotton and water.

Are you okay, Marium?
Open your eyes.



Rub the baby's chest and back.



-The baby isn't crying.
-Marium...

Take care of the baby later.
Save my daughter first.

-Try to keep your eyes open.
-Marium!

Please God...

Mother, Marium isn't talking.

-Oh no! Marium!
-Open your eyes, sis.

Marium!

CELL 145
PART 2

Who is he?

My friend, David.

Didn't he tell you his name?

This...

Oh!
He's a writer, a historian.

He's from Canada?

Two hundred and fifty years...
Immortality...

Was it all a lie?
Fake?

No, it's fiction.

And you believed it.

Sorry, I didn't believe him.

Then why are you here?

He sent me here.

David trusts you.

He's not a mystic.

It's all fiction.

Then how did he know I'm...

...pregnant?

Congratulations!

Please have a seat.

Please.
I'll tell you everything.

Sit down.

I'll explain.

One doesn't need to be a mystic
to be able to tell.

But even my family members don't know.
In fact...

no one in this country
is supposed to know.

Country...

Who is he?

And who are you?

What do you think?

Who is he?

Forget about the 250 years.

Think logically.
How old could he be?

Hmm?

When could he have been born?

What did this w*r give birth to?

Our country, Bangladesh.

"You won't find a land like this.

Queen of all nations, my homeland."

Queen!

Then Bangladesh...

is his elder sister.

By four months.

She's older by four months.

Has your mom's condition worsened?

Why?

Didn't Alfred tell you anything?

No.

He didn't reach out to me
after I went to the asylum.

Not once did he visit me.

Is he still with you?

Did he ultimately agree?

-Met with an accident.
-Who?

The guy who beat me up.

Now everyone's scared of me.

No one dares to touch me.

I think Diya aunty was behind it.

Since no one asked for an update,
I thought the mission is complete.

By now, you and Gulzar--

I got caught before that.

When did you enter?

Didn't I ask you to enter
after the evening head count?

The head count was after dark
that day.

So, plan B from the start?

B for Baba?

There's no need for any plan.
Let's get into action.

Do your friends know
what condition you're in?

-I'm not sure how much you know.
-About?

History.

Please! Last week has been
all about Indian history.

Let's narrow it down
to just our country.

You must've heard of Mother Teresa.

She was in Bangladesh
after the Liberation w*r

to serve the r*pe victims
from the w*r.

But reality was different.

Many of the r*pe victims
were pregnant.

Some k*lled themselves.

Some chose ab*rtion.

Dead bodies of infants
would be found in the river.

Because...

they were unwanted.

To save these unwanted w*r babies,
Mother Teresa established baby homes.

Women concealed their identities
and had their babies there.

The Liberation w*r left
thousands of w*r babies in its wake.

But they were homeless.

Where would they go?

Where would they live?

Who would look after them?

They were orphans.

To give them a secure home,
the govt. and Missionaries of Charity

arranged for inter-country adoption
for them.

Mostly, in Canada and Europe.

I'm not sure if all of them
found a home.

Those w*r children are now
in different parts of the world.

What would you call this diaspora?

Anyway.

Some of them returned to the country.

In the '90s.

He's one of them.

Returned to his motherland
in search of his mother.

Is his mother in jail too?

But she's still imprisoned...

In '71.

Then why is he in jail?

He'll tell you when it's time.

David will tell you everything.

Did you talk to Gulzar?

Why not?

Luckily, you're not too far from him.

Why didn't you guys talk?

How can I?

They don't let me out.

They keep me locked in this cell.

Aren't you the revered Baba?

Don't the inmates come
to seek your blessings?

Didn't Gulzar come to you?

No.

What's my role?

What do I have to do?

You have to do everything.

Meet him.

Explain the situation.

Share our plans with him.

Will you do it after you're free?

They're going to
transfer inmates soon.

I know.

The situation here isn't safe.

They tried to k*ll me last night.

Who?

The jailer.

Tell me something.

How long can you keep up the act?

Don't know.

Alfred and Diya must have
figured something out by now.

I've sent someone.

We'll know once she's back.

What do you mean?

Who did you send?

That cell was sealed.

Shut for the last 50 years.

How did he enter?

Through a tunnel.

-Are you kidding me?
-No, seriously.

The tunnel was there.
He just used it.

He's a historian, after all.

By the way,
that cell has a history too--

Please.

It's all planned.

Why did he send me here?

Am I a part of your plan?

You weren't.

But now you can help us.

-I'm here to find my dad--
-We're already working on it.

Why?

Why would you do that?
I didn't ask you to.

You asked David to.

Because he fooled me.

I actually thought
he was someone special.

This is all bulls**t.

I'm sorry,
I can't be a part of your game.

Maha.

Who are you?

I don't trust highly educated people.

How could you involve her
without even knowing her?

I'm right here.

She's the medium.

She'll get information.

Alfred to me.

We'll need it.

Why did she agree to be
a courier service for you?

I've seen it in her.

She's looking for someone,
just like us.

Looking for who?

Her father.

Alfred and Diya will help her.

Don't know what'll happen to us
and you're taking on another burden.

How will she help us?

-What's this?
-Guarantee card.

To prove that we've started--

I mean, this is a progress report
to prove that we'll find your father.

Oh!
She's one of us.

Diya.

Diya Guha.

Let's go in and take a look.

Aslam!
When did your sentence end?

My sentence?
You mean, release.

Same thing.

Hospital and jail
aren't the same.

Why is he crying?

He's been released
but he doesn't want to leave Baba.

Baba?

Remember the guy
you beat the hell out of?

Yeah.

Why are you calling him Baba?

He's our Gazi Baba, the saint.
He's returned.

What rubbish!

Don't you realise
why you had an accident?

What's there to realise?

Why do you think it happened?

Come with me.

Where did you get this?

Where was it?

It's my mom's will.
My name's in it!

But I had no idea.

I'm supposed to know.

When did she make a will?

It's as fake as the person
who sent me here.

It's notarized.

Your mother's name
is Shirin Chowdhury, right?

She's signed it.

Who is Mehedi Hasan?

Why would my mom leave him a share
of her property?

He's your father.

What?

I appreciate your effort
but he's not my father.

Why are you laughing?

My father's name is Sirajul Haque,
not Mehedi Hasan.

That's the grand narrative.

But we're talking about
the hidden, alternative narrative.

What do you mean?

Have you ever seen Sirajul Haque?

Yes, he married your mother.

Yes, he died abroad
and his body never made it home.

It's all true.

But he is not your father.

Have you lost it?

Do you have any idea
what you're talking about?

Yes.

Show it to your uncle
and ask him.

Then you'll understand.

My uncle--

Are you guys spying on me?

Not only you.

Who are you?

And what do you want?

We're like you.

Looking for someone.

At least,
you know his name.

We don't even know
our fathers.

Or mothers.

We might never find out.

May God bless us.

Do whatever you want.
I'll do my job.

Hey! Raju!

What now?

There's another problem.

What?

Need to unlock this.

Why?

Didn't you get it?

I had.
But they took it away.

This is what you came up with
in so long?

Need a wire or something.

Can you find me one?

I know the trick.

Wire... New member...

Couldn't set the plan in motion
and now you're making changes.

God knows where we'll end up.

What other holes are there?

What?

Plot holes.

Ask your lackey
if you don't believe me.

Tell him, Faruq.

It's true.

Now, beg for Baba's forgiveness.

Bow down to him?
I don't even bow down before my dad.

He's Baba the great.

What the f**k are you going on about?

He's not even circumcised.

And here you're worshipping him.

How did you know?

You guys were too scared
to enter the room.

But you saw, Joynal.
Tell them.

As if I was looking!

Bro...

Don't let anyone know you said this.

It's not a prison anymore.

It's a shrine for him.

Let's go.

Where?

To his shrine.

Aslam!

Aslam!

Get out of this place.

Don't trust anyone here.

You should check on your mom.

I'll manage things here.





Hey!

Look at him.

Baba was the one
who turned him in.

But now, he's Baba's disciple.

His most trusted.

Move.

I'll show him.

I need to meet him.

Sir is not home.
Go to his office.

Can't talk in his office.
Please--

Why are you closing the gate
on my face--

Told you sir is not home.

-Fine, I'll wait for him.
-Who is it?

Ma'am, she wants to meet sir.

-You...
-Who are you?

Is Mostak home?
