(indistinct chatter)

Our people are dying because of that witch.

That damn witch!

-He's right. -Correct!

I tried to ignore it.

But we can't let her live anymore.

Or else, we will all die.

Do you want to lose your children?

(all) No!

Be safe.

(indistinct chatter)

(mob yelling)

He is a brilliant student.

He...

He wants to do MBA in London.

MBA, my foot!

I know them all too well.

Gold-digging scoundrel!

Then why did you teach us

to live life on our own terms?

Wish Mom was here.

My decision is final.

If you want to stay here, live by my rules.

This tea estate, this house belong to me.

If you want to live as you want, get out.

It's my house too.

Mom's house too.

And...

I know all about your affairs.

-Hello. -I just landed.

Your driver isn't here, so couldn't send the car for you.

Hope it's not a problem.

I've taken a cab. I'll be there soon.

-Okay, I'm waiting for you. -Hmm.

Tell Dad I will marry Arman and move to London.

I am not coming back.

Shall we?

You'll never be happy, you witch!

THE WITCH HUNT

Here you go.

-Here you are, ma'am. -Yes.

-Can you get my luggage? -Sure.

-Where's Barin uncle? -In the balcony.

Okay.

I was waiting for you.

But I have to leave now.

Get some rest. We'll talk tomorrow.

I had a direct flight. I got my sleep.

Besides...

I have some personal work tomorrow.

And it's just 11 p.m.

Can you do something, Madhab?

-There's a coffee jar in my bag. -Okay.

Make two cups of coffee.

-Get the sugar separately. -Okay.

The tea estate...

The British bungalow... I mean where you were born.

They're long gone.

What's left is this house in Kolkata and some bonds.

I know that's worth a lot.

Some cash and properties. That's all.

What's the valuation?

Your dad wouldn't believe you'd come for the money

but I knew it all along.

Anyway...

he left a will for you and your sister.

It says...

everything he owned will be equally divided between you.

But on one condition.

It cannot be executed unless both of you are present.

Both of us--

Barin uncle.

You know everything about us.

Even after my divorce in London, I'm quite well off.

I never wanted to come back here.

But for my own security, I want whatever I have in my name.

I hope you understand what I mean.

I understand, Pata.

But the court won't care.

Right?

The court will only follow the will.

Lata...

Where is she?

How should I know?

She's your sister. You should know.

In all these years...

neither of you tried to keep in touch.

You know very well why I didn't.

Pata.

Your family is...

Frankly speaking, it's utterly disgusting.

I am sorry.

Anyway, I've told you everything you should know.

It can't be settled unless both of you are present.

I'll leave now. I have a hearing tomorrow.

Your coffee, sir.

You can have it, Madhab.

And show her Lata's last letter and the photograph.

Might help her find Lata.

One more thing.

As far as I can see...

you won't be able to run back to London with the money soon.

Bye.

Call me if you need anything. Good night.

Here.

A few days after this letter arrived

someone named Seema had called.

She knew something about Lata.

Her number is written in your dad's diary.

Where is the diary?

In the store room.

-Where he kept old documents. -Okay.

The number you're trying to call is currently unavailable.

-Hello.-Hello. Who's this?

I got a call from this number last night.

Umm...

This is Pata.

Ambikesh Roy's daughter.

You mean you're Lata's elder sister?

Right.

Oh, Pata! I'm Seema.

My dad used to work at your tea estate.

You attended my wedding.

My husband works at a telephone company.

-Remember? -Hmm...

-Can you do a favour, Seema?-Why are you being so formal?

I got back from London last night.

Do you know where Lata is? It's very urgent.

Lata?

She called me years ago.

Must be over 10 years ago.

She called me from a STD booth in Khuniabari.

-Huh? From where?-Khuniabari.

-Where's that?-It's in North Bengal.

A remote village even further than Mal Bazar.

She wanted to come here to Siliguri for her husband's treatment.

But she never called after that.

Oh. Thank you, Seema.

Madhab.

-Madhab? -Yes?

-Get me a cup of coffee. -Okay.

(hawkers selling wares)

-Barin uncle.-Yes?

I have to go to North Bengal.

Umm... Khuniabari.

Can you book a flight ticket and arrange for a car from airport?

Sounds like you just woke up.

Thought you slept well on the flight.

-Anyway. Khuniabari, right? -Hmm.

It's a village in the Dooars.

Let me book you a train ticket for tonight.

First class. A comfortable ride.

By morning, you will reach Mal Bazar or Alipurduar.

I'll arrange for a car. I know a driver.

Thank you so much, Barin uncle.

Please arrange everything. I'll pay you back.

Don't bother. Bye.

Khuniabari.

It's a village in the Dooars.

Lata stays in a village in the Dooars.

Pity, Lata.

Pata?

Right.

I'm Badshah, your driver.

Come with me.

-Where's the car? -It's there.

I'll take your luggage. Let's go.

-Sorry I'm late. -It's fine.

Ma'am.

I'll keep your bag in the back. Tell me if you need it.

No, not there. Put it in the front.

Okay.

I cancelled two bookings after Barin sir called.

Your dad had done so much for me. I can sacrifice this much.

I found the quote on internet.

Isn't it nice?

Come.

Have you ever been to Khuniabari?

No, but my friends know the place.

They said it's a four-hour drive.

And if you stop for a pee break...

Then half an hour more.

Shall we, ma'am?

-Drive. -Right.

This car is good as new. I bought it from someone else.

A friend of mine used it as an ambulance.

Don't know if you noticed

but the blue light and hooter are still there.

I use them to get out of traffic.

The forest has a charm of its own.

Take a deep breath.

You will feel energised.

Ever seen an elephant?

There are huge elephants in this forest.

You must have seen them while growing up.

My dad used to take me to your tea estate.

The workers loved you all.

They respected you.

Sir and his daughters, Lata and Pata.

I couldn't continue studies after eighth grade.

My teacher scolded me, so I ran away from school.

First, I worked as a helper in a dump truck.

Then learnt how to drive.

Umm...

There's no network.

Yeah, won't get network here.

It's a dense forest.

Soon, there'll be no paved road either.

Then we can ask for the village head of Khuniabari.

I'm sure he'll know everyone here.

Hey!

Listen, kid!

Where can I find the village head?

We call him Jaan Guru.

Fine. Where is he?

-He isn't at home. -Then?

Go to the riverbank. A crowd has gathered there.

Jaan Guru is there.

How far from here?

A little far.

Hmm.

You guys hop on.

Come, Suru.

-Ready? -Yeah!

My God!

There.

There's Jaan Guru.

(indistinct chatter)

Drumroll! Beat the drums!

(crowd cheering)

I'll cut you to pieces!

Come on! Louder!

-Beat the drums! -Yeah!

Louder! Come on!

Hey!

From now on, there'll be no more worries.

No more deaths in the village.

No more disease.

Do you trust your Jaan Guru?

(all) Yes!

Do you?

Drumroll!

Wait here, ma'am.

-I'll go check. -Okay.

Beat it!

Kill her!

What's wrong, Badshah?

This is trouble.

They're burning her at the stake. We have to leave.

What do you mean?

A witch.

They'll burn her alive.

Burn her alive?

We should leave.

That...

My sis...

That's my sister!

You'll never be happy!

You witch!

The woman died a few days ago.

If you bring her daughter to your bungalow...

we can contain the situation.

In my bungalow?

Understand the situation.

Your relationship with that woman...

Everyone knows.

And handling the trade union won't be easy.

If you bring the girl here...

they will see it as a good gesture from the owner.

Call the union leaders.

How much do they want?

Make a deal.

Money won't help you in this case, Ambikesh.

I'm not asking you to raise her as your daughter.

She will work as your maid.

If that girl comes here...

she will be raised as our daughter.

Exactly like Pata.

I will believe that I have two daughters.

That she is Pata's sister.

She...

She's my sister, Badshah.

S-She's...

My little sister.

We need to leave, ma'am.

-We should go. -Badshah!

She's my sister! I won't leave without her!

(indistinct chatter)

Do something, Badshah!

(crowd cheering)

(vocalising)

Is there any hospital nearby?

-Go straight. -Okay.

You'll come to a crossroads.

Take a left, and you'll find the hospital.

Thank you.

Y-You touched the witch?

This is not good. Shouldn't have touched the witch.

-You'll be in danger. -Drive!

You shouldn't have done that.

Get the chopper from below the seat.

I'll turn on the hooter and drive into the crowd.

They'll think it's the police and we'll escape with your sister.

We have to be quick. Okay?

(indistinct chatter)

Don't come any closer!

I said don't come any closer!

Move!

Out of my way!

THE WITCH HUNT

I'm asking you again.

Tell me everything you know.

Did Pata leave a note? A diary? Anything?

She never shared anything with me.

Did you find anything?

N-No.

Then look again. Good for nothing!

Idiot!

No more going out for you.

You'll marry Mr. Mukherjee's younger son.

What are you looking at?

You will keep an eye on her.

Wherever she goes.

Nowhere except for coaching and exams.

You will go with her. Got it?

Hmm.

I was there when Pata left.

I saw everything.

It's not your fault.

Your exams are coming up.

I got you a flower from the temple.

Which temple?

Umm...

Who offers roses to God? Hmm?

Want to see something?

What?

LATA

LATA

You bloody traitor!

Huh!

Just because one of my daughters ran away

you think you can do the same with the other one?

Answer me!

-Dad! Dad, please! -Shut up!

Just shut up!

Lovebirds, huh?

Under my roof!

I told you to keep an eye on her and this is what you do?

This is what you had in mind?

Santosh!

I will go with you.

Come.

Careful.

Hurry up.

-Let me take her inside. -Careful.

Watch her head.

-Get the stretcher. -Yeah.

KHUNIABARI HEALTH CENTRE

(indistinct chatter)

Move!

-It's the witch! -Lay her down carefully.

Where's the doctor?

(indistinct chatter)

Where's the doctor?

-Doctor? -There.

Get the doctor, I'm here with her.

Take these medicines.

Doctor, the patient is critical. Please come.

-Please hurry. -It's the witch! My God!

Why are you smoking here? Get lost!

-A**hole! -Let's get out of here.

Here.

My goodness!

Doctor!

It's the witch.

We'll be in trouble if we treat her.

Need an ambulance as soon as possible.

There's internal haemorrhage. Take her to a bigger hospital.

I'll give her first-aid.

-Come. -Get an ambulance, Badshah.

-Doctor. -What?

I'm telling you. Don't treat her.

You shouldn't get near her.

-Nonsense. -We'll be in danger.

-Take her inside. -Hey, quiet!

Shut your mouth!

She will be here until the ambulance arrives.

If there's trouble, it's my responsibility.

-Got it? -What are you doing?

This is a health centre. Calm down.

-That goes for you too. -Hurry up.

Move!

We need an ambulance, Badshah. Call Barin Uncle.

Right.

-There's no network. -No use trying here.

Go near the mango tree.

-Which way? -There.

-Hurry up. -Okay.

What's the name of the patient?

The patient's name?

What's her name, ma'am?

Mom...

Mom...

What's your name?

Lali.

Are you scared of me?

A little.

Don't, dear.

Don't be scared.

Don't be scared of me, okay?

Hmm.

Hey.

I have an idea.

Lali doesn't suit you.

How about we give you a new name?

What should we call you?

Lata.

Hmm?

Ma'am. Where do I keep this girl's clothes?

Next to Pata's clothes in her cupboard.

Listen.

She has a name.

Lata.

Pata's sister, Lata.

(indistinct chatter)

Huh?

-Hurry up, guys! -That way! Come on!

-Oh f**k! -This way!

She needs stitches.

-Get the equipment ready. -Yes, sir.

(indistinct mumbling)

A mob is coming here with weapons!

I told you this was trouble, sir.

(indistinct yelling)

You stay here.

-And you close the main gate. -Hmm.

-Shut all the windows and doors. -Okay.

-Let's go. -Where's the landline?

In the office.

(indistinct chatter)

KHUNIABARI HEALTH CENTRE

(mob yelling)

Hurry up. Lock it.

-Open the gate! -Let us in!

Break the gate!

-Hello?-Hello.

-This is Pata.-Yes?

-I found Lata.-Hello?

We're in Khuniabari.

Please repeat what you just said. Can't hear.

We're stuck in a hospital. The villagers...

-are not letting us leave. -Hello?

Pardon? Can't hear you.

We're stuck here. The locals have surrounded us.

(indistinct chatter)

We're in trouble. Need an ambulance.

-Hello?-Can you hear me?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

I've cut off the telephone line, Jaan Guru.

Smart move, driver.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

The sound of your hooter really scared my people.

Then I thought...

Even if you are cops

there are just two of you.

And us?

The whole village.

-What are you waiting for? -Break the damn gate!

Please come here, Sunita.

Sunita?

Set up the mini OT.

She has a deep cut in the stomach. Needs stitches.

Go, set up the OT.

What are you waiting for? Are you scared?

Don't worry.

You don't know them, sir.

They're very dangerous.

This is a government health centre, after all.

They won't just barge in.

-Take over. -Hmm.

Sunita...

you're the most senior nurse here.

We can't save her without you.

You're worried about the mob?

So many hospitals come under attack.

But we have to keep doing our job.

Hope you understand.

Ask them.

You have a huge responsibility today.

We can't do it without you.

You understand?

Hmm.

Good. Now, go.

Set up the OT.

-You go with her. -Okay, sir.

Hey!

-Are you feeling sick? -No, I'm fine.

Let's go outside.

-No, I... -You don't have to be here.

She'll be fine. Come.

(indistinct yelling)

My bro, off to Mumbai yo!

-My bro, off to Mumbai yo! -As if he'll let me go.

-My bro, off to Mumbai yo, Maithal! -Bulls**t!

He didn't even buy me pants like that actor Tiger Shroff.

Now's your chance. Come.

If you can get that witch out of the health centre...

he will happily give you want you want.

-My bro, off to Mumbai yo! -Huh!

-I can do that with one eye closed. -Oh really?

Let's go to the back. I know a way.

-Hmm? -Come.

Sit here.

Can you hear me?

Open your eyes.

Open your mouth.

I'm fine. Actually...

I can't stand the sight of blood.

Doctor!

Hey, doctor!

I will light a cigarillo.

Close the door.

If you hand over that witch before I finish the cigarillo...

then well and good.

Otherwise, you'll pay dearly.

A**hole!

Get the f**k off my car!

Or you'll pay dearly!

Come down!

I'm warning you! You'll regret it!

-Pass me my shoes. -Yeah, first get on.

I come here to peep at naked women in the loo.

You haven't come here before?

Have you ever brought me here?

I didn't because you're a fatty.

-Wait here. I'll be back soon. -Okay.

-My shoes. -Yep.

Oops!

-Take pictures for me. -Yeah, yeah.

I'll go take a leak.

-Empty stomach? -Hmm.

Wait here. I'll get some water.

Don't go anywhere.

That f**ker is sitting on top of my car.

I will finish him off!

Pardon my language, ma'am.

Is something wrong, ma'am?

Go wash your face.

You'll feel better.

Lata will be okay, right?

Don't worry. Everything will be alright.

We're with you.

Driver!

Come out and have a look.

Come and see this!

-I will kill that bastard! -Stay calm, Badshah.

(indistinct chatter)

I'll burn you alive!

You bastard!

You set my car on fire!

I'll...

I'll... F**king rascal!

I'll burn you alive!

Where's the key?

What can I do?

It was an angry mob.

-Give me the keys, ma'am. -Don't get carried away.

-No, Badshah! -Let me open it!

Badshah!

This is exactly what they want.

Don't open the gate! Please don't!

-Listen to me, Badshah. -Listen up.

If you people can set the car on fire...

can't you break down this gate?

-Yes, we can! -Yes, we can!

Let it go. Come inside.

Come.

-Don't stop me. -Come in!

Just sit here.

That car was my world! Those bastards destroyed it!

Listen to me.

They want you to open the gate. Please understand, Badshah.

Listen.

-I will buy you a brand new car. -No.

I promise, Badshah.

I...

-Let me go. -Badshah!

Wait here, I'll go check.

Badshah!

Bastards! You destroyed my car!

There's fire raging out here.

There's still time. Hand over that witch.

(indistinct chatter)

After death...

...the good people become angels.

And bad people, demons.

Your mom has become an angel now.

Mom was a good person.

So, why is Dad setting her on fire?

She'll be in pain.

Don't look, Lata.

Let us listen to a song.

The sun smiles from above the clouds

As the dark clouds fade

Oh, what fun!

Today is a holiday, my friend Today is a holiday

Oh, what fun!

The sun smiles from...

-Doctor! -Yes?

The OT is ready.

Need her on the stretcher. Call her family.

Okay.

Sunita.

Huh?

Thank you.

Come inside. Need help with the stretcher.

Careful.

There's fire raging out here.

There's still time.

Hand over that witch.

Move left.

Careful.

-Slowly. -Mind the stairs.

Watch your step.

Hold her steady.

-Gosh! -My goodness!

-Take her in! Fast! -Hurry up.

Careful.

Why did you stab her? Answer me!

A**hole!

Why did you do it? I'll kill you!

Ma'am.

My God!

This is Jaan Guru's son, Maithal.

Don't move!

Not a peep out of you!

Drumroll!

-Drumroll! -Come on!

-Louder! -Come on!

(crowd cheering)

If you try to set fire to the hospital...

your beloved Jaan Guru's son will die with us.

Hey, you!

Yes, you!

See what she has to say.

She wants your horn mic, Jaan Guru.

Or they'll slit Maithal's throat.

Give it to her.

I want an ambulance here within half an hour.

If you cause any trouble for us in the meantime...

your son will be in trouble too.

Remember that.

Move it!

THE WITCH HUNT

Sumana!

Sumana?

Look at me, Sumana!

Sumana?

Look at me.

Sumana.

(indistinct chatter)

None of you will make a move.

They have Maithal.

Stop jumping around like monkeys. Calm down.

Jaan Guru.

You got a plan?

Huh?

Give me a cigarillo.

Bloody swine!

Gave him eight mg of sedatives.

Ma'am.

Don't worry. He won't wake up anytime soon.

Badshah.

The doctor is calling you.

Okay.

-Don't go outside. -Okay.

-Stay right here. -Alright.

Let's go upstairs.

Bloody a**hole!

-Doctor. -Check on the other patients.

Hmm.

She's still critical.

The surgery is complete. Needed two units of blood.

We're lucky the injury was just on her thighs.

Umm... Can I see her?

Yes, of course.

Don't worry, sis.

I will not leave without you.

You will be perfectly fine.

I'm right here with you.

Hmm?

-I haven't done anything. -Shut up!

-Slowly! I'm out of breath. -Out of breath, huh?

Jaan Guru.

This f**ker was with Maithal.

I haven't done anything. I told him not to go there.

You know he never listens to anyone.

I even tried to stop him with one of my r-r-rap songs.

Forget about Mumbai yo! Jaan Guru--

Don't you have a motorcycle?

Yes.

Fold your arm.

-Keep lying down for some time. -Hmm.

Don't be sad.

This is nothing compared to what she has gone through.

No one can do anything against them.

I still remember the day she got married.

It was fifteen years ago.

Most houses didn't have electricity.

They got tube lights from town.

They said Jaga's son, Santosh, married a foreigner.

They had a love like no other in the entire village.

Everyone had gathered to see the foreigner bride.

In the crowd...

the bride caught the eye of an evil monster.

That Santosh got a lovely wife, Munia.

Hmm.

No one in Khuniabari has been this lucky.

What are you thinking, Jaan Guru?

-Huh? -Hmm?

I'm not thinking.

I'm hungry.

Last night, I married Santosh.

Here's a photograph.

I know it'll be difficult to accept our marriage.

But if you do, Dad, please let me know.

I am happy here.

Love, Lata.

Hey!

When will you write me a letter?

Don't go. Come here.

Come sit in my lap, honey.

Don't go by my appearance.

My belly isn't the only thing that's big.

Mother.

Bhim's men were harassing me at the market.

Scoundrels!

Hey!

Call him Jaan Guru.

Not by name.

You know who he is?

He's our God.

From now on, hide your face when you go outside.

Get inside!

I've been horrible! Forgive me, Mom.

Forgive me, Mom.

You will never be happy!

You witch!

-Ma'am! -What?

Help us. My wife is in labour.

-Are you crazy? -Please, ma'am.

Please open the back door.

Not possible. Call a midwife.

Please open the back door.

-My wife and baby will die. -Can't help it.

-Impossible. -Please help us, ma'am.

-The woman will die. -First save your own life.

They're a little calm now. Let's wait for the ambulance.

My wife will die.

-It's not right. Open the back door. -No need.

To save one life, you want to sacrifice two?

Wait, they will open it. Don't worry.

Ma'am!

Don't worry, honey. I'm with you.

-Listen. -Yes?

Bring her around to the back door.

Careful. Make sure no one sees you.

Thank you so much, ma'am. We're coming.

-They have opened it. -Careful.

-Everything will be fine. -Careful.

Let me see.

Don't worry, honey.

-You'll be fine, be strong. -Get up.

-Get up. -Hold her, ma'am.

-Come. -Careful.

-Hold on to me. -Careful.

Take her inside.

-Careful. -Watch out!

-Hold her steady. -Slowly.

-Easy there. -Hang in there.

Yes, keep going.

-Take it easy. -Hurry up!

-I can't let you in. -But she's my wife.

Wait outside.

Wait right here. Don't move.

Inform us if anyone tries to get inside.

Careful.

-Ma'am. -Yes?

Get the doctor and Sunita. I'll be with her.

-Careful. -Yes.

Don't worry. That scoundrel won't wake up.

Okay.

Let's take you inside.

Don't you worry.

Give me your hand.

Your hand...

-Sir. -Hmm?

We have another patient, sir.

A pregnant woman.

She's not doing well at all. Will you take a look?

A senior nurse like you can't handle a pregnant woman?

Just quit and stay home.

-Wait. -Hmm?

-Get everything ready. I'm coming. -Hmm.

Don't you have a motorcycle?

Yes.

We need Moni.

Moni?

But she's pregnant.

How will she help in this condition?

The same blood flows through our veins.

You should have seen her when she was young, Munia.

Khairul.

Jaan Guru is calling Moni.

-Is that so? -Hmm.

There's trouble at the hospital. That's why he wants Moni.

Tell him Moni won't go.

They have taken Maithal hostage.

They are threatening to kill him.

We need Moni. Please, Khairul bro.

To hell with that! Moni won't go anywhere.

Get the van ready, Khairul.

-Moni! -I will go.

He disowned you because you married a Muslim.

Now he wants your help because his son is in danger.

-You won't go. -Shut your mouth, Khairul.

I raised Maithal like my own son.

Whoever tries to kill him, will die at my hands.

Don't gather outside the window.

Isn't there a pond at the back?

Yes.

-Be inside that pond. -Okay.

Keep an eye from a distance.

Remember, they have Maithal.

Let's go.

What's the plan, Jaan Guru?

Give me a cigarillo.

You have to come with me.

-Wait here. -Alright.

Ma'am...

Ma'am!

Badshah!

Huh?

Badshah!

What happened, ma'am?

Tell me.

What happened?

-The... The nurse-- -Who?

They must have fled through the back door.

Almost there. You got this, Moni.

You can do this.

Stop!

-I said stop! -Ma'am!

-Catch them, ma'am. -Wait!

Stop!

Stop!

-Stop! -Stop them, ma'am.

Open the door!

Don't be stupid.

Open the door!

Please open the door!

Open up!

-Open up! -How can I get to the roof?

-Huh? -The roof.

Through the window in the patients' room upstairs.

Please open the door.

You need medical assistance.

Your baby will die. You need help.

Open the door!

Please open the door.

-Open the door. -Think about your baby.

Please open the door.

Hey! Come out!

Come on! Hurry up.

Quick, quick!

Open the door!

Open up!

-You need help. -Open the door!

Ma'am!

-Open the door, Badshah. -Help her up.

Get that guy.

-Hurry! They'll shut the door! -Coming.

Hurry up.

-They're shutting the door. -Let's go.

Take him inside.

Don't be a fool! You have to save yourself.

They're taking my wife.

-Let me go! -You have to save yourself.

Hey, give me back my shirt.

-Hurry up. -I won't go in!

THE WITCH HUNT

Blood pressure is very low.

Report's not looking good.

Haven't you noticed any symptoms?

I'd often have a fever.

And sometimes a cough...

Please wait.

Excuse me.

She has about six more months.

Should we try elsewhere? Like Chennai?

Look, metastasis has started.

The malignant cells are spreading everywhere.

At best, she'll have nine months.

What happened, dear?

Don't be afraid.

I'm perfectly fine--

I'm alright.

Don't be afraid.

I'm alright.

I'm--

I'm okay.

I've prescribed some medicines. Make sure she takes them.

See you.

Ever since that damn girl has set foot in this house

things have started going wrong.

Everything is going wrong.

She's jinxed!

And her mom was exactly the same.

Bloody rotten gold diggers.

Lowlifes!

I wasn't madly in love with Arman.

I just wanted to go abroad.

Meet new people.

Explore a new place.

After Mom died, I had nothing holding me back in the house.

I just wanted to run away.

Soon, Arman fell in love with someone else.

I filed for divorce.

I wanted to dump him before he could.

I used think living alone abroad means...

freedom.

But I feel really lonely.

When I get back home at the end of the day...

I crave for someone to talk to.

I miss my mom so much.

After Lata gets better

I'll take her to London. We'll stay together.

I've decided.

-Ma'am. -Hmm?

We couldn't save that woman.

But the baby survived. It's a boy.

In Khuniabari, babies aren't "born".

They're bred.

Like dogs, cows, pigs breed...

It's the same. People breed.

And those who can't, their fate...

is determined by Jaan Guru.

You're right.

I know you can conceive.

But no harm in going to Jaan Guru once, right?

The whole village believes in him.

And you?

No, I don't.

But we have nowhere else to go.

Will your father accept us?

Will he give me my job back?

You...

You'll be with me, right?

I'll be right outside the room.

(chanting)

S-Santosh.

He-He wants me to take off my clothes.

He told me to strip! Do something.

Do something, Santosh!

She can't bear a child.

She's sterile.

If she conceives, it will eat through her womb.

Our people will die because of her.

She's a witch!

God can see everything.

But so can the devil.

The only difference is...

the devil chooses to see only evil.

First, Santosh's father passed away.

-Water... -Right away!

Then his mother.

Then his brother died.

She tried everything she could.

But she couldn't save them.

Mother!

Mother?

What happened to him?

He had a fever.

And a headache.

Said he didn't feel like working.

Hmm...

(chanting)

That damn witch!

She's a witch!

She is behind it.

People are dying because of her.

And many more will die.

(indistinct chatter)

I won't let my wife go out.

But if you stay with her, you'll die.

I will lock her up in a separate room.

You'll never see her again.

Look at that.

Three people in his family have already died.

And he still wants that witch in his house.

(indistinct chatter)

Alright.

Won't interfere in your personal affairs.

What happened, Santosh?

Why are you locking the door?

Santosh?

Open the door.

Santosh!

-Why are you locking the door? -Forgive me.

-I'm doing this to save you. -Open the door!

Open the door, Santosh.

What happened?

I won't live for long.

Couldn't even save you.

-Why did you come here with me? -Stop it!

Get some sleep. Come.

Lie down.

Take it easy.

Doesn't sound like a regular fever.

It's probably Japanese encephalitis.

-Do you have any livestock? -Yes, sheep.

-We rear sheep. -I see.

It is spreading from the sheep.

Take him to a bigger hospital as soon as possible.

We can't treat him here.

I'm prescribing some medicines but don't delay.

Here.

Lata.

I made a mistake.

I shouldn't have left you.

Mom told me to look after you.

I didn't.

But now, everything will be okay.

I'm here.

Nothing will happen to you.

When I started out today...

I planned to drop you at NJP...

and ask for a tip.

Thought I would have a drink and buy some meat for home.

I'm getting a permanent roof made.

So, I was working double shifts.

Bloody scoundrels burned my car!

You know, Badshah...

A few days after Lata came to our bungalow

Mom passed away.

Dad blamed Lata for everything that went wrong.

He hated her.

Mom didn't think like that.

But I secretly hated her too.

Today, on way to Khuniabari...

I felt...

I felt this sadistic pleasure.

Because I'm better off in life.

But who do you think deserves hatred?

Lata?

Or me?

Don't worry, ma'am.

I will get your sister out of here. No matter what it takes.

I promise.

Huh?

You have no escape!

The lights are out. It'll soon be dark.

And you can't see your way out in the dark.

-I will kill him, ma'am. -There's still time...

Come out and you will get to live.

-Beat the drums! -(mob cheering)

Hey, stop.

Hey!

Oh my--

Take him away, Munia.

-Take him away. -Hey!

Come with me, Khairul.

It's because of your beloved Jaan Guru...

that a woman lost her life.

A newborn baby lost his mother.

All because one person was too stubborn.

We don't want to harm you.

Don't want more casualties.

I beg of you...

think about it.

Please.

(indistinct chatter)

Thinks she's so smart.

Trying to instigate my people.

But she's right, Jaan Guru.

We should let them go.

Do you feel the same way?

You think that b***h is right?

No. She's wrong.

It's a quiet neighbourhood.

But...

it gets a little eerie at night.

Yes.

I can't stay here for very long.

Yes, I've told him.

He is also trying very hard

to get a transfer to the nearby town.

What about you? How's your husband?

Hold on a second.

Yes?

I'll call you back.

How can I help you?

-Hello, Barin uncle?-Can you hear me, Pata?

-Hello? -He--

Damn it!

-Doctor. -Hmm?

Don't think this will help.

She needs an injection.

I'm on it.

Doctor!

Hey, doctor!

Come and see.

Someone's here to see you.

Open the window and take a look.

Hold this.

Just have a look.

Hey, doctor!

Drumroll!

Hey!

(crowd cheering)

If you try to harm her

we'll do the same to your son.

Driver!

I admit you got some balls.

But not enough

to slit someone's throat.

I can see it in your eyes.

-Don't listen to him, Badshah. -You can't slit his throat.

Move!

Open it!

-Open the gate. -Drums!

Hey!

-Why are you opening it? -Stop!

They opened the gate!

No!

Stop it!

-What are you doing? -Hand them over.

Doctor!

Stop it! Please!

(inaudible)

Stop! Stop!

Please open the gate.

Please.

No! No! No!

Stop! Wait!

Please open the gate.

-Ma'am! -Please open it!

(crowd cheering)

Please open the gate!

Ma'am!

Please!

Stop!

-Don't come any closer. -Go on!

I said stop--

-Okay, bye. -Bye.

-Sir. -Oh, yes.

Here.

What other meetings scheduled for today?

Next meeting is with the Bangurs.

-And dinner with Mr. Mohta. -Okay.

One more thing, sir.

Pata had called, the girl I booked train tickets for.

She said she found Lata.

But they're stuck in a hospital in Khuniabari.

Some kind of trouble.

But I ignored it.

-Why didn't you tell me sooner? -You were in a meeting, sir.

Idiot!

Out!

Okay, sir.

Uff!

-Hello, Barin uncle?-Hello, Pata?

-Can you hear me? -Hello?

Hell--

Damn it!

Can you connect me with the SP of Jalguri?

It's Advocate Barin Sanyal from Kolkata.

Hello.

Hello, Mr. Kumar. How are you?

I'm fine.

Sir.

-You have to do me a favour.-Okay.

I heard there's some trouble in a hospital in Khuniabari.

-Someone I know is stuck there. -Okay.

She's a woman. And I can't get through her.

Will you kindly look into it?

Okay, I'll get back to you soon.

Thank you so much, Mr. Kumar.

THE WITCH HUNT

-Good afternoon, sir.-Good afternoon.

I need some information from Khuniabari.

Just a basic inquiry.

-Yes, sir. I'll look into it.-Okay.

Yes, sir.

Khuniabari?

Yes, there's a police outpost.

An ASI is posted there.

Okay.

Okay.

Leave it to me, sir.

Get the phone, Prosenjit.

Damn it!

Are you there, Mallika?

Pick up the phone and tell them I'm in the loo.

Uff!

I have to do everything.

I'm tired of this.

Phew! Now I can continue.

Uff!

Hello?

Where have you been? I've been constantly calling you.

I was out patrolling.

We have just two constables.

A man and a woman.

I take them along wherever I go.

Just for precaution.

-Who knows when a woman might-- -Got it.

Do you know...

...if there's been any trouble in Khuniabari?

Not that I've heard of, ma'am.

It's peaceful here in the forest.

Hmm.

SP sir has asked to take a look.

Just a basic inquiry.

Okay, ma'am.

Get to it.

What a pain!

Everything's fine.

But where are those two?

Here you are!

Where have you been, Romeo and Juliet?

There was a complaint about a theft.

We'd gone to investigate.

Oh.

Got a call from the headquarters.

Some trouble in the hospital. Need to pay a visit.

Let's go, sir.

-Let's take a look, sir. -Nonsense!

Forget it.

Bloody drunk savages!

Let them come to us.

-Sir. -What?

Please don't do this.

You will retire soon.

It's time we learn the work, right?

My Goodness!

Look who's awakened his sense of duty!

Please, sir.

We have to use the car or the battery will die.

-Huh. -And the market is open today.

We can buy something on our way back.

Hmm.

Been so long since I had mutton curry.

-Let's go then. -Yes, sir.

The jungle...

...looks so calm, doesn't it?

But the people here are very strange.

Huh!

They don't believe in God but in witches and ghosts.

(crowd cheering)

-Please! -Ma'am!

-Come on! -Don't come any closer!

-Back off! -Stop!

Drive straight in.

(indistinct chatter)

Hey! Back off!

Take the patient inside. Hurry up.

Hey, take her inside. And lock the gate.

Back off, everyone.

Get back. All of you.

Get back!

-Get back or I'll shoot. -Come on!

Get back.

Close the gate. Right now.

Get back.

-Close the gate. -Hurry up.

I said back off!

How many bullets do you have?

Five.

How many people do you see?

Why don't we just talk it out?

What say?

Move it!

-You're a local. Help us. -Shut up!

-We'll burn you alive like your car. -Shut the hell up!

-Burn you alive! -Just shut your mouth.

-Don't-- -Calm down, Badshah.

Come on, hit me.

Calm down, Badshah.

The police are here. Everything will be fine.

Police? They are my dad's puppets.

-Kill me if you got the guts! -Take him inside.

Hurry up, Badshah.

Come on!

Let me go!

I'll burn you.

I'll burn you alive!

Mark my words! I'll burn you all alive!

That woman is a British citizen.

If anything happens, British cops will get involved.

Bhim.

Have I ever got in your way before?

I get what you're saying.

But what if I killed them before you got her?

What would you have done then?

No one in the village would rat me out.

And the British cops wouldn't be able to do s**t.

But I'm here now, right?

This is for...

firing at my people.

Don't interfere in our business.

You think I love Lata more than you?

Hmm.

Silly girl!

My silly little girl.

Who told you that--

I love both of you equally. Understand?

I love you so much.

Besides...

-She's younger, right? -Hmm.

Who will look after her if you don't?

Huh?

But Dad said you got sick because of her.

That's not true.

Dad didn't mean it.

You know he's like that when he's angry, right?

Hmm.

I'm perfectly fine.

When you get better I will take you with me.

You don't have to stay here.

We'll live together.

Like Mom wanted us to.

Okay?

Hang in there, sis.

Everything will be fine.

Trust me.

Why did you open the gate?

Answer me, damn it!

You're a doctor. Shame on you!

-Shame on you, doctor! -Hey!

-Why did you do it? -Let go of him!

-Answer me. -Stop it!

They abducted the doctor's wife.

So what?

I've also lost my car. But we can't give up!

Don't say "we".

"We", huh?

If they set our house on fire at night...

will you come to save us? Will you?

"We", my foot!

To hell with that!

My...

My wife...

They have her.

-They will kill her, won't they? -Hush.

Everything's going to be alright.

Don't worry.

They'll kill her.

My wife...

Hello?

Hello, Seema. This is Lata from Khuniabari.

Yes, Lata. Tell me.

My husband has to be taken to the hospital in Siliguri.

I don't know anyone in Siliguri except you.

Don't worry. Come with your husband.

I will handle the rest.

Okay.

Weren't you supposed stay inside?

-Beat her! -Teach her a lesson!

-Beat her up! -How dare you come out?

(indistinct chatter)

That's enough.

Just die!

She didn't obey Jaan Guru.

Now we will have to die because of this b***h!

Bloody witch!

Had you taken off your clothes that day...

you wouldn't have to face this.

Hey!

The witch has left her body.

No more worries.

Santosh is dead.

Mom...

Mom...

The sun smiles from above the clouds

As the dark clouds fade

Oh, what fun!

Today is a holiday, my friend

Today is a holiday

Oh, what fun!

The sun smiles from above the clouds

As the dark clouds fade

Oh, what fun!

Today is a holiday, my friend

Today is a holiday

Oh, what fun!

Oh, how to spend the day?

In which woods to lose our way?

In which fields to run and play?

Together with my friends...

Munia...

The witch has lost her mind.

But not her youth.

Want a taste?

She didn't let me have her.

Won't do anything now.

I'll save her for later.

For the right time.

Come.

Come, b***h!

Come with me.

Hey! Come in one by one.

Mom...

Mom...

Mom...

Mom...

What happened?

Take me away, Mom...

-Don't worry, I'm with you. -Mom...

Save me, Mom...

Take me with you...

Mom...

Mom...

It's been five hours since they took my son hostage.

They killed my sister.

-Munia. -Yes, Jaan Guru?

Can you do it in one blow?

Hey!

Can't you?

I can.

Remember...

to kill the witch, we must sacrifice a few lives.

My honour is at stake!

Doctor!

Hey, doctor!

Come out, everyone.

See for yourself.

You won't get to see this again.

Come out, you b***hes!

I asked you many times to hand over that damn witch.

But you didn't listen.

Why didn't you listen to me?

Huh?

Police!

Listen up.

You and your lackeys saw nothing.

-Munia. -Jaan Guru.

Do it!

What's on your mind, Jaan Guru?

Santosh's family made lots of money from rearing sheep.

Right.

It's a lucrative business.

Look.

I got it written in English.

Here.

-Will I get my money back on time? -Of course.

Don't worry.

The whole village is involved now.

You just supply the cash. I will handle the rest.

Soon the whole village will bleat to my tune!

What say, Munia?

Baa!

Baa!

That's exactly what happened.

Poor villagers looking to make a quick buck

got involved in Jaan Guru's sheep farm.

Even bad things seem good at the beginning.

It's only later that people realise

that they were wrong.

-What happened? -Come on!

(all) Happy birthday, boss!

Good times are here thanks to you!

Happy birthday, Jaan Guru!

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday, Jaan Guru!

Happy birthday!

Eat.

(song playing on music system)

What's wrong?

I'm missing my mom, Munia.

We're making good profit from the sheep farm.

We need to buy some land for cheap.

How will you do that?

Like I stole Santosh's land.

By frightening them.

The devil's greed knows no end.

But suddenly, locals started dying.

Jaan Guru knew...

it was spreading from the sheep.

So, to save himself...

he came up with the same plan.

Five more people dead, Jaan Guru.

The disease is spreading from the sheep.

At this rate, people will start suspecting us.

What's the plan?

The witch.

Our people are dying because of that witch.

I tried to ignore it.

But we can't let her live anymore.

Or else, we will all die.

Do you want to lose your children?

(all) No!

(indistinct chatter)

Burn that witch!

THE WITCH HUNT

All hell will break loose now, my dear.

All hell will break loose.

Badshah!

Maithal!

Badshah!

Badshah!

Help him!

Drumroll!

(crowd cheering)

Louder!

Badshah!

Badshah!

Please do something.

Badshah!

Help!

I've slit his throat!

Beat the drums!

Badshah!

-Maithal! Maithal! -Maithal! Maithal!

Such a big rat!

Take it easy.

There's a big rat in the bathroom.

What did you do?

You ran away?

Aren't you my brave girl, Pata?

If you get scared, what will she do?

-But it's a big rat. -That doesn't matter.

It is only as big as your fear wants it to be.

Always remember that.

There's a stick in the corner.

Take it.

And kill the rat together.

-Let's go, Lata. -Hmm.

Let them do it.

They will have to protect each other now.

Beat the drums!

Beat it!

That's my son!

(indistinct chatter)

(crowd cheering)

Get up!

Beat the drums!

(crowd cheering)

Hey!

Hold this.

Take this, bastard!

I will kill him!

-Can I say something? -What?

Arrange for an ambulance.

You think I'm a f**king loser?

No, I don't.

But no harm in lying.

Just pretend.

Don't talk in riddles.

What's your plan?

If you call an ambulance, they will have to come out.

They will use Maithal as a shield.

But the ambulance driver will be your man.

The stretcher-bearer will be your man.

As soon as they come out, you win.

What do you think?

Look, don't bottle up your anger.

It causes diarrhoea.

A runny tummy.

Like I have.

Arrange for an ambulance.

Hey!

Stop!

Don't kill him.

I will get you an ambulance.

Let my son go.

And what if I don't?

What did she say?

What did you say?

What if...

I kill him?

What will you do?

The police will escort you.

You will be given full safety and security.

Let him go.

What's the point in killing him, ma'am?

The real monster is out there.

Let that bastard go.

Tell him to kneel...

and beg.

What did she say?

Can you repeat?

Tell him to kneel down...

and beg.

So that the whole village sees him.

What was that?

She wants you to kneel down and beg for it.

Then she will let Maithal go.

Come on.

Do it.

For your own sake. Trust me.

Those damn b***hes!

I will burn them alive in the ambulance.

Munia.

Jaan Guru.

Let him go!

Maithal!

Get out of the ambulance!

And lock them in!

We'll burn them alive.

I will send the finest goat meat to your house.

As your reward.

KHUNIABARI HEALTH CENTRE

Burn them.

The police have surrounded the place.

Drop your weapons right now!

Or I'll have to shoot again.

Hey!

Go get them.

Payback.

Police!

Listen up.

You and your lackeys saw nothing.

Munia.

Jaan Guru.

Do it!

Hello, ma'am?

Please come to Khuniabari with a big force.

Bhim Kumar Maheli is killing people.

What?

Shoot, if needed.

-Where is your gun?-They have taken away our weapons.

Please come right now. Hurry!

Didn't I tell you?

Bottling up your anger causes diarrhoea.

I always have an upset stomach.

You can't do anything to me.

No one will testify against me.

(indistinct chatter)

I need your help.

Don't want to let him get off easy?

What would you have done if you were in my place?

No one will testify against me.

No point in arresting me!

You b***hes!

You will die at my hands!

I will kill them!

Yes!

Everyone--

Jaan Guru!

(indistinct chatter)

Hang in there, sis.

You'll be fine.

Forgive me.

I will never leave you again.

-Never again. -Sis...
