Ah!

So.

As of now it looks like

Laboni Dasgupta has taken her life.

Hung herself.

Why did your daughter-in-law
take her own life?

What else could she have done?

How could she live with the shame?

She ruined everything.

What do you mean by shame?

Do you know why she took her life?

She...

She's my sister's daughter.

I had great hopes when I married her
into this family.

My daughter isn't sound in the head
so I thought

if my niece stayed close...

She had a happy married life.

Then some damned man came along and...

Sujato had found out.

We might have forgiven her
if she begged for it.

Oh.

Get it, Mohan Chanda?

This is a high-society scandal.

Why did you stop?
Continue.

Sougato, tell him.

This might be a
sensational scandal for him.

But it's something painful for us.

If word spreads, we'll lose honour.

There's a new bride at home.

Is it really necessary
to discuss these things?

Especially...

since Laboni can never return.

So what's the point of
this mudslinging?

So, how long has it been
since Laboni left?

Laboni was...

shooed away from this house.

Sujato dropped her off
at her father's house.

It's been a month.

This is all we knew.

We were angry and disgusted.

So we cut off all relations with them.

Umm...

Where did it happen?

I mean, where did Laboni live?

For the last two months,
Laboni was staying at a ladies hostel.

That's where she hung herself.

It's just five minutes away from here.

Hello.
This is Inspector Samaddar.

Oh.

Yes, okay.

Okay.

Oh, listen.

The body has been sent for post-mortem.

If I get to know that
it's not a suicide case

I'll be back with a barrage of questions.

And then you'll have to spill
everything you held back today.

Got it?

Oh, one more thing.

Until I give the green signal,
none of you can leave town, okay?

-Why?
-Because it might not be a suicide case.

Especially since there was no suicide note.

Hmm?

INDU

Don't cry, Kushi.

You can't cry over Laboni
in this house.

Why are you crying so much, huh?

Why the hell are you mourning?

Why do you care
about that shameless girl?

-Hey!
-I don't...

Hey, just shut up.

Laboni didn't live so close
for nothing.

I'm sure she was
up to something with Sundori.

Switching the fish we sent...

Putting lemon juice in hot milk...

Stifling me with a pillow!

I think Laboni made Sundori
do all these things.

Or maybe she got into the house herself.

Sundori would open the door for her.

Hey!

Come on.
Out with the truth.

Leave.

No, no...

No!
I swear to God.

I didn't do anything.

I didn't even know Laboni
used to stay nearby.

Get out.

Get out of my house.

You traitor!

I never want to see you again.
Out!

Please don't sack me.

I've been here for 10 years.
Please don't sack me.

Ungrateful wretch!

You'll live off me
and ruin my life, huh?

I'll throw out all your things.

You better leave.

Indu, please go inside.

We've caught the culprit.

Laboni used Sundori to...

It doesn't add up, Pushi.

If Laboni wanted to harass this family,
why would she take her own life?

She took her life
because she couldn't ruin us.

First she tried to scare you.

The leaf inside the fish,
the hot milk that burned your foot...

She thought you'd get scared
and call off the wedding.

That didn't happen.

Then she tried to k*ll my daughter.

Thought that would make you
break it off.

But that didn't work either.
All her plans failed.

Then she took her own life.

It still doesn't make sense, Mother.

What would Laboni get
by ruining Sougato's marriage?

Unless she had a grudge against him.

Did she have any reason to?

Just tell her the truth, Pushi.

You know what, Indu?

Sujato is a soft guy.

No matter what Laboni did

he couldn't tell her anything.

Sougato is quick-tempered.

When he found out
she was pregnant from an affair

he got mad and kicked her out.

So logically, she should be mad at Sougato.

Clear now?

Binota...

It's past 10 p.m.

Won't you serve dinner?

I spent all my life

in the kitchen.

Can't I get a day's respite?

No.

There's no respite.

There isn't.

You're here?

Pushi is calling us for dinner downstairs.
Come on.

I won't eat.

You all eat and go to bed.

You hated her so much.

But you're crying over her death?

You can't forget just because you want to.

After she left

I took all her photos

and burnt them.

But could I forget her?

Anyway.

You won't get it.

Go downstairs.

Hmm... Not like I won't get it at all.

But what if I say

burning Laboni's photos was just for show?

You've kept all her sarees carefully.

Her jewellery, all her documents...

Why?

That means you...

You really have become Sherlock Holmes.

Why did you open my wardrobe
without my permission, Indu?

Hmm?

Don't cross your limits.

It won't be good for you.

So you'll never meet Laboni.

What are you trying to say?

That Laboni was stopped
from meeting me?

What can I say?

You refused to be my team mate.

So from now on,
you're on your own.

So...

You told me why Laboni
was angry with Sougato.

Is that true?

I mean... Is it really that simple?

Of course it's true.

But the question is,
how many kinds of truths?

Is some of it true?

Or half of it?

Is most of it true
or is it entirely true?

Then again, if a lie is constantly repeated
it feels like the truth.

Anyway, you should search for the truth.

From today, I'm your devil's advocate.

I'll confound your reality.

What?

Devil's...

The devil's trumpet
is the angel's trumpet...

The devil's trumpet
is the angel's trumpet...

Devil's trumpet is another name
for datura?

And angel's trumpet?

This is another name
for datura too?

If both refer to datura

why did she mention them separately?

Why didn't she say either one?

If Laboni died last night

who is the girl I saw today?

I can stay in another room.
This is your room.

Whose room will you go to?

Sujato's?

Couldn't stop at Anjan?

You're suspicious of your brother too?

Everyone suspects each other
in our family.

It's a disease in this house.

Your Sujato is also quite suspicious--

Otherwise something so drastic
might not have happened.

Bulbuli?
What's this?

Why are you doing this?
Move away.

You could've called me.

I can do it.

Grandma is busy with her prayers
in the morning.

She has no time
to cook for Mom.

Only Grandma and Sundori Aunty
bother to make food for Mom.

When both of them are busy,
I do it myself.

Mom is even more childish than me!

She can't tolerate hunger.

You want it in a glass
or in a bowl?

Curdled milk, not regular milk.

Mom takes her medicines
with curdled milk.

Did you put lemon juice
in the milk that day?

Tell me honestly.

I won't tell anyone.

Mom didn't want you
to come to this house.

She said good girls will be unhappy here.

So I wanted to scare you.

I thought so.

Only a child could've done this!

The mom is immature
the daughter is doubly immature.

Mom told you to run away.

Why didn't you?

Hmm.

Come here.

I smelled a mystery
in the stitched up fish.

The fish was stitched up
with a huge needle.

Have you seen a needle
like that here?

No.

Gouranga Uncle?

-Gouranga Uncle?
-Yes, ma'am.

Clothes and utensils for washing
are piling up.

How can I do everything alone, ma'am?

Didn't you think about it
when you sacked Sundori?

Give me a minute.

Uh...

Why did you wash all the clothes?

Because none of you did.

-Pushi.
-Hmm?

The night you were attacked...

Who else knew you were supposed to
go back to your room?

Mihir knew, of course.

And Laboni too.

Because I did the same
on her wedding night.

Hmm.

That means Sujato also came to know
from Laboni.

What?
What are you implying?

Tell me, Pushi.

Isn't it possible

that Sujato attacked thinking
you're in your own room and I'm alone.

Then after hearing you gag,
he realised it's you.

So he left.

You suspect Sujato?

I'm simply considering the possibilities.

Sujato, Laboni, Mihir...

Everyone's a suspect.

It's all my fault now, huh?

Just because I threw Laboni out?

Tell me honestly, Mom.
Wouldn't you do the same thing?

Knowing she's pregnant by someone else,
would Sujato stay with her?

Did I say anything to you?

It's your wife!

The new bride started playing detective
as soon as she got married.

I'm going out, Mother.

What do you mean?

There's so much work at home.

I'm not the one who fired Sundori.

Besides, I have some work.

Umm, where's Sujato?

At the shop.

Why?

Ask that to Sujato instead, Mom.

Just because his marriage didn't last,
he's after mine--

You mean your book shop, right?

That's in the next lane, right?

Yes, which book do you need?

We keep many rare books too.

Umm...

Is Sujato here?

He hasn't come today.

There's a wedding in his family.

So he won't be in for a few days.

Who are you?

Oh, it's you!

Actually, you were all decked up
at the wedding.

So I didn't recognise you at first.

I am Janardan Ghoshal.

Sujato calls me Janardan Uncle.

You can call me the same.

Are you here to look for Sujato?

Or do you need some book?

Do you have any books on
the datura flower?

Datura?

Please come in.
I'll check.

Come.

Hmm.

What's on that side?

Hey!

Why are you both just sitting there?

You can both start sewing.

Can't find one of the needles.
Two people can't use one needle.

I found a book.
"Poisonous Plants of India."

Will this do?

Where are these books sent after packing?

To Naihati.

That's Sujato's in-laws' place.

His father-in-law opened a book shop
after his paralysis.

You must be knowing.

When we get a fresh supply of books,
we send them there.

Do you still send books there?

Sujato hasn't told you to stop?

Not at all.

"I can't think straight.

I'm the mother, after all.

How can I live without my child?"

I received this message

on the evening
of my brother's wedding.

I didn't pay much heed.

If it were any other time,
I would probably react angrily.

But now I think this is the suicide note.

So, Mr. Dasgupta.

Why did she send you this message?

I...

I really don't know.

This is Laboni's first message
since she left.

Maybe she meant to send it
to the father of her child.

Oh. So, are you sure
the child is not yours?

Yes.

Laboni...

was two months pregnant.

And in the last four months

we didn't get physical.

One minute.

Okay.

-Mr. Dasgupta.
-Hmm?

This message is not a suicide note.

Because it's not a suicide.

Laboni Dasgupta was

stifled with a pillow,
and hung with a noose.

To make it look like a suicide.

And guess what's amusing?

Laboni had to die anyway.

Because we found poison in her stomach.

Datura poison.
