Original subtitles

I sentence him to death. He shall be hanged by his neck, until dead.

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law,

being made a curse for us: for it is written,

Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree.

Galatian 3. Verse 13.

Sons and daughters of God, Our Saviour.

Let us understand the subtext in this psalm.

Redemtion. Law. Truth.

Does our faith and abiding by God's Law exempt us from sin or being punished?

No.

Deliverance does not come by keeping the Bible for your salvation.

Instead, we should lead our lives in a way that is pleasing to God...

What are you doing? Please ride... Uhhh!

Shut up, otherwise we'll fall. Yeah, we'll fall!

Why did you have to take this stupid route?

Joseph, straight...careful...

Let me ride!

Are you stoned?

Joseph...

STOP! STOP!

Are you blind or something? Can't see? It is a road!

What is the meaning, dropping down like this? Like a rocket or something?

Sorry sir. We were just trying to take a shortcut, you know.

Shortcut! What shortcut?

If you come under my car, then what happen?

Tell me! SHORTCUT!

I hope you're not hurt... you two... Are you okay?

Yes, sir!

No problem!

Oh! God. The tyre has gone flat.

What do we do now? What...? You mean, we can't use it now?

What have you done?

What have I done? It's you who panicked. So, we fell.

Now, I must get the tyre fixed first, then only we could ride it again.

And... What about my exams? I'm late, as it is.

I'm not responsible. You have to walk with me to the bicycle repairer.

Once the tyre is fixed, I can take you to the examination hall.

My exam will be over by then.

Where do you have to go for your exams?

Government college. Only half an hour is left for the exam to start.

C'mon, we'll drop you there. It's not more than 10 minutes distance by car. Is that okay?

Thank you father... That would really be nice, Sir.

In the meantime, I'll get my bicycle fixed... And then collect my sister...

Is that okay? Come...

— See you, son. — See you, father. — Come

WAIT! WAIT! Your pens!

— Bye father! — Bye!

Rosie? Rosie what? What's the full name?

— Miss Rosemary Rodrigues Fernandes. — Aah! That's a pretty name!

What's the exam for?

It is the entrance test... For the nurses training course.

Nurse'straining course... Where? Quilon?

— Yes sir! At the Bengiger Hospital Institute. — Uhhh...

That's under...

Doctor Samuel Fernandes... Isn't it?

Oh! Yes. He's incharge, I'm sure.

Well... Let me know, if there's any problem.

Yes, father!

— Thank you father. Bye! — Come and see me sometime. God bless you.

— Greetings! — Greetings! I'm Rosie.

— Can I see father? — Please come in!

— Yes? — Sir, Miss Rosie has come!

Attend to her! I will be there.

Please, take your seat.

Aah! Rosemary...

— What a surprise! Good morning... Come... Come in the study! — Good morning.

Come!

How come? What brings you here, so early in the morning?

I got selected, father. Your recommendation really worked.

Good! I'm so happy for your.

You really deserved it.

— Bless me, father. — Oh! Yes...

I bless you... Sure, I bless you!

These are for you.

— What are these? — Small gifts for you...

This is a table cloth... embroidered by my mother...

And... these are some idlis (rice cake) ... Made by me!

Made by you! Are you a good cook?

VERY!

— That's what all of them say... — Is that so?

Well, in that case, some day I should ask you to cook something for me.

Let's see how good you are... right?

Certainly Sir... I'd love to do that... Tell me, which day?

For now, let us go and see how good these idlis are... come...

Come...

Uhhh... So which is the item cooked by Rosie?

It's here... I'm bringing it in a minute...

— Hope you like it! — Aah! Fish... Good!

Smells so good! I think, we should have some wine with it.

Hey, Pete...

— Yes, Sir? — Would you get to the car... there Is a bottle at the back seat... will you feteh it please... quickly?

Yes Sir... Just, I'll get it...

Sir... Sir... Please teach me how to drive, please!

Teach you how to drive! Are you mad? There'll be a scandal...

Don't you know, people don't take kindly to such things in our town?

Uhhh... Women driving or cycling!

You must be crazy...

And... and... me teaching? They'll faint, if any of them sees us.

How would they know? Teach me in private!

Teach you in private... How?

Teach me when everybody will be off... On a holiday!

— On a holiday... — Hmmm...

That's not a bad idea!

May be... on a saturday...

Yes, we can do it on a Saturday...

Pete and the driver will be off that day...

Aaah... The wine!

Easy... Easy...

Oh God! Careful... Careful... Watch that pothole!

— Skirt around it! Skirt around it... Skirt.. I mean go from the side.. QUICKLY! — What?

— Now look, what you have done...! — What?

The wheel has gone into the ditch.

— Press the accelerator! — Hmmm...?

Press the accelerator, girl... There... the right one!

STOP! STOP! STOP!

Now, come out! We'll have to do something else.

Now, I'll start the car!

... and when I say, 1, 2, 3... go, you go...

— Uhhh...? — I mean... I mean, push forward from here.

— Okay? — Okay...

— Shall we try? Yeah... C'mon! — Yeah...

— Like this? — Yeah!

— Ready? — Yes...

Okay!

1... 2... 3...

— GO! — My Dress... My dress...

Oh, God! Oh, God!

I am... Sorry... Sorry...

— Ooops... — Look what you've done to my dress! My mum would kill me now!

Don't worry, we'll go to my house. You can have a bath...

You can wash your dress... You can iron your dress...

You'd be fine...! You'd be okay...!

The car is out of the ditch.

We can go home... Come!

Oh, you have already had your bath! Haven't you?

Yes, I have. I've even washed my dress already.

Yes... You have!

Haven't you!

I'm already halfway through my ironing.

Will you... Will you have something...? Something to drink?

— Ready? — Yes...

Oh no... yes... I mean yes... tea maybe...

— I'll make some... — Wait! I'll put the kettle. You carry on!

Here you are Father! You better run quickly... Signal is on .... the train will leave any moment...

— The next one to Cochin is only tomorrow. — Yes. Yes. Yes. You're right! Here. Here. Here. Take it!

— I'll take the change later. Sudhir, Bye! Bye! — Bye, Father William.

But you must do repentance, as I have told you.

And... become an honest Christian, now on...

— Amen! — Thank you, Father!

Thank you very much...

Good afternoon, Father!

Good afternoon, my son!

Yes... Tell me...

Father... I...

I mean...

I mean, I have sinned, Father...

Go on!

I have...

I mean... I have...

... had sex with a young girl.

— Is she a minor? — No... NO!

She's not a minor! I mean... that's not the issue.

Yes...

I shouldn't have!

I mean... I was not supposed to...

I really...

— I mean... I don't know, what came over me. — Did you force yourself?

— I mean... was it...? — No... No...

It wasn't like that!

It wasn't rape... Or any such thing.

But... It was not right, I suppose.

I mean... a man in my position...!

I guess... I should have been more careful.

Is... any of you married to someone else? Is it?

No! No...

Neither of us is married, Father.

Then?

It's...

Goddamn difficult!

I mean...

— Can I not... just... — I see... but you want to repent...

— Yes, Father! — Okay, my son...

Go and kneel in front of Mother Mary...

... and sincerely feel sorry for your sin!

Seek her forgiveness... then do a rosary!

And go for a mass... everyday for a week...

— Yes, Father! — Alright, my son...

Through the power Jesus has given me, I forgive your sin...

In the name of the Father and the Son... and the Holy Spirit.

Amen!

Praise the Lord!

Thank you, Father!

Sir... Father...

Father... Please stop...

— What happened John? Why are you slowing down? — That boy, sir... calling us...

— What boy? — That boy...

— Who's he? — I think... Rosie's brother, sir... calling us!

Please stop!

— C'mon, do move on. We haven't the time! — Sir...

— Father... — Sir...

— He's coming behind, sir... Sir, Waving... — Stop...

I think... Something important, sir.

We better stop, sir.

— Very well... — Sir...

— Good morning, Father... — Good morning.

— What is it? — I'm... Rosemary's brother, Father.

My name is Joseph... I'd met you some months ago...

My... bicycle had come under you car's wheel...

You... remember, sir?

Yes... What do you want?

Uhhh... I have a message for you from Rosemary.

What?

My sister is not too well, sir. She's been ill.

She's send me to request you to... kindly pay her a visit.

If you can...!

— What happened to her? — I don't quite know, sir.

But... she has been bedridden for last couple of days.

She has asked me to plead with you to visit her.

If you would kindly, please.

Okay.

I'll come in the evening.

After I... come back from town. I must hurry up now.

— Okay? — Okay, Father...

Thank you, Father.

— Bye! C'mon John... — Bye...

Sir...

Sorry, Father! I should have asked you earlier.

But... I have put two spoons of sugar in your tea. Will that be alright?

— Or, should I make another one? — That's alright, Mrs. Fernandes...

Here you are then, Father. I hope you like it.

— Hmmm... It's good! Very good indeed. — Thank you, Father...

It's really very nice of you to have come down, even so late.

You are really very helpful.

Ummm... About Rosie, Mrs. Fernandes...

I suggest, she sees a doctor in Quilon... A good friend of mine!

He'll give her a thorough check.

Doctor in Quilon...

How shall we...?

He'll be quite... Uhhh... I mean... expensive...

Oh! Don't worry about that, Mrs. Fernandes.

He's a good friend of mine. Very old friend, really!

There won't be any charge. He'll take care of everything.

You know... She'll be alright. I'm sure, it's some kind of an allergy.

It's just that... She may have to stay there for the night.

— But...? — Don't worry about that either.

My aunt is there. She can stay at her house.

No problem at all.

But... Father...

You're doing so much for us!

I don't know how shall we repay...

C'mon, Mrs. Fernandes...

As it is, I was to go to Quilon, day after tomorrow.

I can jolly well go a day earlier.

It only a monday tomorrow. No great work!

Infact, it suits me even better...

Alright, Father! It's really very kind of you, sir.

Okay then... I shall send my driver to fetch her.

Is that... okay with you, Rosie?

Thank you, Father. You chat with Rosie. I'll just see to the tea for my son...

You carry on, Mrs. Fernandes...

— I'll see you later, Father. — Okay, Mrs. Fernandes.

You have offended God. A grave personal sin.

Aiding the termination of pregnancy...

Whatever be the circumstances...

It's a mortal sin which you have committed.

Knowingly... and willingly...

It will take away... God's life from your soul.

Unless... you ask for God's forgiveness.

— And... don penance — So... what do I do, Father?

Go now...!

...and every morning...

Do a rosary, after your bath, for fifteen days.

And each day, in the morning and in the evening...

...go to a church!

And kneel down in front of the Christ... and seek forgiveness for your sin.

Also, through out this period of penance...

... you will keep away from women... and if you happen to come across one,

You will not raise your eyes from her feet.

Yes, Father!

In the name of the Father... and of the Son... and of the Holy Spirit...

I forgive thee!

And... for the final benediction, Mr. Pereira...

you must come and see me... or some other priest...

...at the end of this period of penance.

Yes, Father!

That would be all.

Thank you, Father!

Good night, Father.

God bless you, my son.

I can't understand... any of you.

That Jo... He comes home, when he likes, if he likes... and now, even you?

All day you're gone... God knows where to!

I told you, momma! I merely went to the sea-side.

You know, I like going there... to them hills by the sea...

And if anything had happened to you? You know how dangerous it is around there!

... and why should you go there alone...?

I just wanted to be by myself.

— Think about things! — What things?

I have a million things to think about...

Like my half-yearly exams, for instance, which are coming soon...

Or... who will be my new roommate at the hostel...

— Or... whether I... — Okay, tell me straight...

What's eating you up?

Nothing's eating me up, for Christ's sake!

I'm going to my room, momma.

I still have to pack. There's an early morning train to catch!

And what about the dinner?

Let Jo come, I'll come down when it's ready.

Alright girl... Have it your way!

Yes, Suresh babu, what is it?

You have a visitor from your hometown... apparently, your mother is ill or something.

Oh ma, visitor... where?

— He's waiting in a car... at the street on the back side. — Ok...

— I'll just go and see...? — Please...

...It's a hotel... why here...?

Come inside! I'll tell you in a minute.

Why have you brought me here?

Where's my mother?

Get inside... I'll tell you!

But... you said... My mother was ill...

... But I am ill... I'm suffering...

What...?

What will happen now?

I don't know!

I really don't know!

Miss Rosemary Fernandes...

Second position... Merit in Pathology!

Thank you!

Hi...

Hi...

Why here?

Why not here?

At God's place...?

We are God's children...

He's everywhere!

But it's dangerous here.

Come to me!

You'll not feel the danger, then.

— Would you sit for a minute, please? — Oh...

Where did this settee come from? Did you arrange it?

— No! It was always here. — Oh!

There's a lot of old furniture dumped over here...

Now shut your eyes, will you?

What is it?

Just something... Don't open your eyes!

Congratulations!

Oh my god! Oh... Beautiful!

Thank you!

Oh God! I can't believe it... Such beautiful pearls...

Looks beautiful on you!

But I'm not sure, if this dress matches it...

Perfect...

Nice grades!

No problem at all...

Test report is also good!

No problem at all...

Then she has your recommendation also, Father!

Perfect!

She can join us from next week!

It's... 15th on Monday.

That's absolutely... perfect!

You ask her to see me tomorrow, Father.

I shall fix everything.

— You're sure, there's no problem, Carl? — No... No problem at all, Father.

Tomorrow the personnel man will be here...

So, it'll be perfect.

So... I'll take your leave now...

I'll ask her to come and see you tomorrow. What time would be right?

Send her after lunch... That would be perfect.

— Okay, Carl... I'll see you then. — Come Father... this way... please...

Here...

— What is this? — Fifty Rupees!

What more do you want?

It has to be Ninety... Ninety Rupees!

Show me the meter...

My meter is not working! I told you, sir!

So...? If your meter is not working, you're going to charge me double, are you?

It's not the double, sir...

It's Ninety Rupees only from the station to here...

You can ask anybody.

Not raise your voice on me, son.

If that is so, you should have told me at the time of boarding.

That it's going to cost me Ninety Rupees.

I can't pay you anymore now.

You can't do that! Sir...

Please, pay me my full money.

Are you threatening me?

I am not threatening you...

I'm asking for my full money!

Ninety Rupees... Another Forty Rupees!

And I'm saying; "Not a paisa more".

And if you're not happy, you can go to the police.

And the police station is right there!

Okay...?

I'm off!

You did the right thing by not going to the police, son.

They would have done nothing, except harass you in the bargain.

That is how these thugs get away with this.

Nobody wants to do anything. Just suffer the loss and humiliation timidly and don't go to the police.

What do you expect, then?

I don't know!

I'm... fed up really...

I don't want to live here.

Things are much better there...

Better job. Better life. Regular money. Better money...

I could easily look after the three of us...

And still save a lot.

Besides...

You've got to also come over there.

I mean... 2-3 years, we could have our own house.

Much bigger house... or a bunglow... and even a car...

Just... think about it!

Then go...! Am I stopping you?

How do I go?

Where's the money for the ticket?

I need at least Forty Thousand...

For the ticket... and the visa money... and the commission.

Look...

If you think I'll give in to your pressure and sell your father's bond for your Dubai trip,

you are mistaken!

That's the only security, we are left with.

Well... there goes my poor brother's dream for riches.

Not unless someone else helps me out.

Like who?

Like... you...

You could do it very easily!

Now, look...

If you think, I'm going to bring Willie in to this, you're sadly mistaken.

As it is... He's done so much for us.

But... It's only a temporary loan I'm seeking.

You know I will return every penny to him, at the earliest.

Yes...

That's right, Rosie. This seems to be the best way.

— But... — And he will help.

I know, he wouldn't mind.

But it feels so unclean.

And people also talk...

People talk any which way, anyway...

Even if I had my own money... They'd still talk...

Whatever they want to talk.

Look... Let's give it a try.

I'll come with you, if you like.

Alright!

Alright, then!

Not to worry Mrs. Fernandes. I'll take care of that.

— Okay, Joseph? — Yes, Father!

Thank you, Father!

I shall pay back everything!

As soon as possible, Father.

We shall see that!

Thank you very much, Father.

— God bless you, Father. — That's alright!

Shall we leave then?

You wanted to go through that chapter with Father, isn't it?

Yes, mum...

Alright then...

— Leave it, Father. You don't have to come out. Okay! — Please, I insist, Mrs. Fernandes.

Come!

What happened?

What are you thinking?

Something!

That...

Where do we go from here?

What do you mean?

Three abortions...

Four years of relationship...

It's been a long time...

Lot of waiting...

I know...!

You said that you'll leave the church...

and...

Give me time...

Please...

Some more time...

How much more?

Only a few more months

I might get the permission, still...

If it doesn't happen in another three, four months...

I shall leave the order and marry you regardless.

Now come...

Ok, William...

— You've come now? So late? — What to do, Rajni... I've come straight from the duty...

— Couldn't even get dressed properly... — Okay, but you've to stay with me throughout.

Right till after the pheras...

Okay...!

Can I use your washroom? I have to freshen up...

Go right in... Use any of the rooms, go!

— Go... — I'll just come...

Rajni, just come here for a moment... I've to talk something important to you... come!

— Yes, brother... — Come in to the room... come!

Come...

What is it, brother?

What is she doing here?

What do you mean? What is who doing?

The girl, who just came a moment ago... The one, who works at the hospital...

The girl, who just came...?

You mean Rose?

Yeah, Rose... that's the girl... What is she doing here?

She's among my best friends, brother...!

What's the problem?

I want this girl Rose, out... Right now!

That's preposterous, brother!

How can you talk like that?

I've invited her because she's my friend...

And now, I am asking you to tell her to leave. We don't want her here...

— But why...? — I mean... Don't you know her reputation?

C'mon Kailash brother... that's her personal matter...

— ... and she's a very nice girl— Whole world is talking about her affair with that priest William...

I mean... It's no longer a personal matter of hers... It's very much public.

But how does that affect us...? What concern is it of ours...?

It's very much a concern of ours because it affects our reputation in society.

Now, look Rajni, I don't want to argue with you.

There've already been some snide remarks passed down among guests...

And few from your in-laws' side... And father... is very upset!

And that's why I'm here... Now, be sensible...

... and ask her to leave.

Please, brother...

It's... it's very unfair...

Try to explain it to father...

Would you do it? Or... shall I do it my way?

No... I'll... I'll do it myself...

Now!

Yes. Yes... Now...

Let me find her first...

Look, I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I don't know whatelse you expect me to do!

— I expect you to keep your word... — What word?

The word you gave me again and again...

... that you'll marry me no matter what!

... that you'll leave the order, if they don't give you the permission...

Look, you've got to be practical...

What are you trying to say?

Look, let's not blow away the great opportunity coming our way...

What do you mean, opportunity?

I'm going to be promoted... they're going to make me the full clergy.

Oh my God! That means, you'll never marry me...

It will never happen...

But I'll be able to take care of you, much better...

For one thing... We won't even have to live here...

I'll be transferred to the main parish... You can come there too.

I'll get a good job for you... It will be absolutely perfect...

Jesus...

You are so...

utterly self-centred...

So selfish...

You're pathetic!

Look, I can't jeopardise my career just like that.

You better understand!

I don't believe this!

You're disgusting...

I'm leaving!

This is the only way out...

The only solution!

We'll have to get you married to somebody else.

Someone who can keep up with the bargain...

Who'll respect the fact that you're mine...

Only mine!

... and who'll not interfere with you at all...

... and you'll not love him...

... nor would you make love to him...

EVER!

Do you Graham Fitzgerald Mathews

... take Rosemaru Rodericks Fernandes

to be your lawfully wedded wife,

to have and to hold, in sickness and in health...

Till death do you part?

I do!

Do you Rosemary Rodericks Fernandes...

... take Graham Fitzgerald Mathews

Amen!

With this ring...

By the power vested in me...

I, now pronounce you... man and wife...

You may kiss the bride!

Bless you, my child!

Go inside! Upstairs...

Sorry... Where's the bedroom...

Upstairs...

Move...

No... wait...

I'll climb!

They all wanted to have a... wedding drink with me...

It's very late...

You, better change!

Let's dance...!

You take no notice of me...

I'll be alright!

I know, what I'm supposed to do!

You go right ahead and do what you want...

Father William has sent his driver. He's not too well.

He wants you to come right away and give him an injection.

As the village doctor has gone to town since yesterday.

I'll... come down in a minute.

Why tonight?

It was my wedding day, today.

It had to be tonight.

Specially tonight!

It will not bind you to anything... henceforth.

It had to be tonight. So that I know... you know... he knows...

... your mother knows that you belong to only one man...

ME...!

But... he leaves in the morning.

Shouldn't I at least spend sometime with him...

After all, in the eyes of the world he's my husband!

My driver will take you to the station in the morning...

... to see him off before he boards the train.

Rosie...

What has come over you...!

You've been here, all day.

I haven't been here all day, momma.

I only came a couple of hours ago...

— But why? — Why...?

What kind of question is that? Momma!

I came to think about things.

Mull things over!

I feel happy, here.

He's here!

Who? Who's here?

Graham... Your husband.

Graham is here?

Means... means what...? He's here?

He's come with you?

No...

What I meant by 'here' is...

... that he's here in town.

— When did he come? — By this morning's train!

He came to the house...

Wanted to see you... straight away...

I made an excuse...

He still went searching for you...

... to William's.

What do I do?

You'll have to meet him...

He's your husband after all...

But after a gap of ten months... suddenly?

How will I handle him?

You'll be alright.

Go... and see him!

But how...?

You'll find the way...

... after alll...

He also knows the truth!

Oh God!

Come... Let's go!

Yes...

I went looking for him...

... he was not there!

Neither at the church nor in the house.

I didn't see him!

But why did you want to see him?

I wanted to talk about us.

About us...?

— What about us? — I wanted to talk about freedom.

Freedom...?

Yes, freedom

I want Freedom, Freedom from my commitment!

But... Why so suddenly?

Because I was wrong...

I was always wrong.

It's not right!

It's unclean!

It's... very unclean!

You're my wife...

I'm married to you...

Besides, I need you.

I need you very much.

I've always needed you!

Look, I have a nice job in Bombay.

You too can get a good job in any of the hospitals.

I've already worked worked it out. I'll leave the lodge where I live...

We'll take a room on rent in the suburbs...

There's not much difficulty in that...

Look, come with me!

Let us start a new life... on our own.

In our own way!

How can we go on living on like this?

... as minions for his pleasure.

... with no identity... with no self-respect of our own!

Have I hurt you?

Have I said something I shouldn't have?

Look, it's just that...

I...

God...!

It's not so easy!

But it's not so difficult either.

I have the whole plan worked out.

You don't understand... he'll never agree!

— He's very powerful... — How would he know?

We don't have to tell him anything.

We will just go,,,

... go away, quietly!

Look, I must leave... It's very late as it is!

— I'll talk to you later. — Later...? When...?

Later... May be tomorrow!

May be a few days later... But I must go for now.

I'll wait for you.

I'll come... I promise...

But... Let me just think about things.

Yeah...!

See you!

Bye!

You are a whore... a whore!

That's what you are... a bloody whore!

You got it all wrong...

I swear... I didn't go to see him.

You bitch... You are lying again.

My man saw you leaving Julian's place at night, after eight...

You're spying on me, now...!

Is that it, Will?

Yes, I'm spying on you... you bitch! Because I don't trust you.

But you're wrong!

I didn't go to see Julian...

— I don't even know him... honest... — Oh...!

You don't know Dr. Julian Furtado, huh?

Yet you were at his place for over an hour...

What were you doing there on your own?

Consulting medical manuals, huh?

I went to see Graham...

Graham...?

— Who Graham? — Graham, my husband. He's Julian's cousin.

Graham...

But he was in Bombay...

When did he get here?

Yesterday afternoon...

He wanted to see me!

... and sent for me....

What did he want to see you for?

Generally...!

He's still my husband for the world.

For how long would he be here?

Few days... He's on his easter holidays!

Funny...! He didn't tell me about it.

He said, he went looking for you... at the church and at the house...

Before he sent for me!

Well, you know what you've to do whilst he is here.

Yes...

I know...!

— Aah...! What are you going to do with me, William? — Come with me!

William... Leave me... please!

Open your palm... I said; "Open your palm".

Now you'll remember your vow to be faithful to me...

Only to me...!

Such a cruel man!

God will not spare him, I tell you!

You two, talk...

I'll see to te kitchen...

Bastard...!

He's not a man of God!

He's a man of Devil!

I won't leave you, you bastard...

I won't leave you!

I'll make you pay for it...

Sorry...!

I want you to come with me to a place.

Which place?

Some place...!

What sort of a place?

You'll know, when you see it.

What do I have to do?

Have you... seen that old disused jetty, on the south side...

... near the old village...?

Ummm... You mean that somewhat old and broken down one...?

— Yeah...! — I don't think, anybody goes there.

It's very deserted...

— Why there...? — Meet me there!

Then I'll take you to the place I want to show you.

When?

Meet me tomorrow...

Say at ten in the morning...!

Why tomorrow...? Your hand...!

Don't worry about it! I'll be fine tomorrow.

And don't tell anybody about this!

Nobody...!

Okay!

At least, I'll know what you have in mind...

Good...

Graham... It's eight-thirty already...

You better leave now... you know why I'm saying this.

Yeah... I understand!

— Don't worry! I understand. — And... be careful as you go out the front door...

You know...

— You never know... — Yeah... I understand!

I'll be careful!

Won't let them catch me!

Okay...?

Okay!

— See you tomorrow! Bye! — Bye! See you tomorrow!

You sent away the auto. Wouldn't we need one while going back...?

Don't worry! There is a shorter cut to the locality, from the place I'm taking you to.

Oh! Good morning anyway...

— Good morning... Come... — Where are we going to?

Just follow me.

Are we here?

Yes...!

It's very enchanting.

Why here...?

This is my church.

All of this...!

I feel one with Him, here.

You really think... I should come with you?

Hmmm.

Ask Him!

Come to momma's house, tonight.

... at nine, nine-thirty! Not before...

... and don't come from the front door. Come through the back alley...

... that goes through the market, through the hutments!

There's a... door leading in to the kitchen.

I'll tell momma about it.

Okay!

What do you mean?

Yes... yes... coming!

— Actually... Rose has asked me to come over. — Yes! Yes! Please come...

I hope, I didn't disturb you, Mrs. Fernandes.

No! No! No! We're expecting you. Please come...!

What do you mean, nothing happened?

Nothing happened means... nothing happened.

Neither she visited to him...

nor he went to her place...

I think...

... they remained inside houses.

Are you sure?

Sure!

My men... kept eye on... house...

Bo... both the house!

You can go now!

I'll send for you, when I'm ready.

Okay, sir!

Take me away from here!

What...!

You mean that?

Yes, I mean that!

Take me away from here!

Oh God... At last...

But you have to be very careful...

Very...!

Nobody should get to know about it!

You know he can create probems.

Yes... I know!

I feel happy!

So happy with you...!

I too...

— Graham... — Hmmm?

What will you do?

I'll work out something...

Then I'll send you a word...

... how to go about it!

Oh Graham...

Hold me!

I think, I should leave now... before it gets too bright.

Don't you think?

Yeah... I think, you better...!

Go the same way you came. Out the backdoor, through the hutments!

Yes, I will! Okay...!

You stay in bed.

I'll manage.

Okay!

I'll stay in bed, late.

Savour you!

I love you!

Oh! I thought you didn't believe in the church.

I believe in God.

So...?

How come...? What brings you here?

He's leaving tomorrow.

He is? Who's? Who is leaving tomorrow?

Graham...! He sent me a message today.

— So...? — So... I cam to ask, if...

— If...? — If I can... I mean, if I should...

... go and see him off!

I don't have to... I mean...

I just thought... perhaps...

Oh, but you must! After all, the world knows him as your husband.

Yes! Yes! You must go!

Infact, my driver can drive you both to his cousin's place and then he'll leave you at the station in my car.

When Graham leaves, he can get you back to my place. Right?

Right!

Thank you, Father!

See you then! Goodbye!

See you! Bye!

Not a bad seat at all!

It's the upper berth. I can even sleep during the day, without being disturbed.

That's very nice! You'll arrive in Bombay, well rested.

Hmmm...!

I think, you... you better leave!

The train will leave in a minute or so.

There'll be too much of crowd.

I think you're right... I'll leave now.

My cousin will contact your mother for arrangements,

Bye!

I'll... just go to the ladies' room. Hmmm?

Okay!

I've already booked two seats from Cochin, under the names of Mr. & Mrs. Samuel for Friday's train...

Mt friend, Sam will bring the boat at about 7 P.M on Thrusday evening.

You should be at the old jetty, where you once took me latest by that time on Thrusday.

My cousin will fetch your suitcase from your mother's, during the day, when you'll be gone on duty.

This way... No one will suspect anything.

So...

You are here!

How are you?

I'm fine!

You're perspiring!

Yes, it's very hot today.

You smell so good!

William, please...

Please stop... Please STOP!

Why? What happened?

There's nobody else here... just the two of us!

It's not that!

I can't...!

You can't?

And may I know, why you can't?

I just can't...

But why? I said!

It's the... you know the part of the month.

You know... I... feel so unclean!

Oh God... God...!

But... Why didn't you tell me right in the beginning?

You never... gave me a chance!

Bloody hell! How long would it last?

Three more days... You know how it is with me!

Yeah, I know!

I'll make myself some tea. Will you have some tea?

No! No, I think, I'll better go. I have a lot of work to catch up on!

I'll se you in a day or two...?

Come over tomorrow or day after. We can watch a movie in the evening.

I think, that would be great. I'll do that!

Bye!

— See you! — Right!

Right...

— Bye! — Bye!

— Are you sure, he'll be there for you? — Don't worry momma...

I trust him!

To be honest, I trust him too, somehow!

I'm sure, everything will be fine. You look after yourself.

As soon as I'm organised, I'll call you over.

— You understand that, don't you? — Yes, I do!

I do...

But I hope, everything will go alright with you.

It will, momma... it will!

You don't cry now. Hospital staff is around. They might supsect something is wrong...

Ok, I won't!

I think you should go now, momma.

Go as normally as possible... as if, you only came for a check up. Right...?

Right!

Alright then...

Alright, momma!

Bye, momma...

Bye, my child!

— Thank you, Ismail. You're really very kind. — What you doing?

— Stop it! — Just a little bit for the children.

Keep it back. I'm supposed to be your elder brother...

...unless, you've forgotten!

Come! We wait there... Till they come.

One doesn't come here every day.

Come...

Right on time! Fantastic!

Hold this. Welcome... Welcome... Come... Come! Come!

— Thank you, Ray. Hi, Sam... — Hi! Hi, there... Hi!

Your suitcase and bag are all in there place... kept in there...

Tea and snacks are also kept ready by Sam...

— Enjoy your voyage... Welcome... — Thank you Ray! Thank you Sam!

— I wish, I could come too... — Oh, why don't you... please come...

Naah! I'm just joking. You know, I can't!

— But someday, I'll catch up in Mumbai... — So...

So will I, someday!

C'mon, Ismail... let's go! They have a long journey too!

— Yeah, bye-bye... take care! — Bye!

— Bye-bye... take care... bye... — See you...

How many times...?

How many times have I told you, not to put any plates on the table, which are not absolutely clean!

I'm sorry, sir. I'm really very sorry, sir...

But I shall really be very careful now on, sir...

But you said the same thing last time, Pete... You said the same thing last time...

I give you my word this time, sir... I really will...

Well, it's the last warning to you.

Now get a new saucer for Mrs. Fernandes here. Do you hear?

Sure sir! In a second, sir... I'll just fetch it, sir.

Sorry... Mrs. Fernandes!

It's just that I can't stand uncleanliness...

I... I understand Fa...

So...?

You were saying... She has gone away!

Just left a note behind for you...

Not to worry, Mrs. Fernandes!

It's not so bad! After all, she's gone to meet her husband, who lives alone.

It's perfectly understandable... Mrs. Fernandes.

Yeah... yes...

I guess, you're right, Father!

It's just that she could've been a little decent towards you.

A little concerned!

You were not going to come in her way, anyway. After all, you're her mother.

Leaving you like that...? Alone...?

What'd you do without her...!

Must feel quite lonely sometimes...

Lost...! Isn't it, Mrs. Fernandes?

Do you miss her?

Yes... I do, sometimes.

but it's alright, I guess...

If I think too much of her,

I go to her getaway place for a while...

— I feel good over there... — A get away place...

What sort of getaway place?

It's nothing!

Just a... solitary place by the sea.

Near the old jetty... in between the cliffs!

She often went there by herself.

It's quite peaceful there.

there's even... a cross there, on a rock.

— She loved sitting in front of it. — Oh...

I thought, she was a heretic...

No, Father! She believes in God.

But in her own way, privately...

Well... Anyways...!

Thanks for coming and telling me, Mrs. Fernandes.

May I now leave, Father?

— Oh, sure! Sure, Mrs. Fernandes. — Thank you.

— So nice of you to come. — Thank you...

And... Mrs. Fernandes... Uhhh...

... any idea, when I can get that money...?

— ...I gave it for Jo's passage to Dubai? — Oh...

I almost forgot. Sorry, Father...!

Here it is... Uhhh... Thirty Thousand Rupees.

— It was so kind of you to help my son, Father. — Oh...

He'll come and see you, when he comes over for Christmas.

— Sure! I'll love to meet him. — Okay!

I'll take your leave, now.

Okay! See you!

I thought you dind't mind my smoking!

I don't!

Then...?

That looks better!

This looks like an expensive one!

— Where did you get it from? — I bought it, sir!

From my savings! Do you mind?

Awww...!

But... How come...?

Suddenly cigar... for what?

Well, don't they say that a cigar is a best gift...

... for an old man!

What do you mean by 'old man'? I'm not an old man...!

Well, you might become one, soon!

How, do you mean?

Well, don't the young ones call their pops 'old man'?

What?

What did you say?

You mean it?

— But... when... I mean, how did you find out? — I saw the doctor today...

... and he confirmed that I'm pregnant!

Yes... bravo...

I really need that cigar, now.

Yeah!

Would you light it for me, darling?

Yes, master!

Hello, Mrs. Fernandes!

Father William...! You gave me a shock.

Well, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.

Nevermind. Nice to see you, anyway.

So... this is the place. Rosie's private church.

Well, not really the church... But yes, she liked coming here...

sitting in front of the cross.

But... how come you're here? Never saw you this side, before!

Curiosity, I suppose!

The way you mentioned this place that day, I really got curious to see it.

So, when I decided to go for a jog today, I thought, why not come here!

So...

— Here I am! — Oh, that's nice.

Oh! Fresh flowers...

You come here everyday, do you? No wonder, I don't see much of you at the church, lately!

No... I do come, Father.

I attend every mass...

It was only last one week or so that I couldn't...

Because I was not really well, Father.

Here also, I came after a long time.

Because... Rosie specially requested me to do so.

... and put flowers here.

Oh, really? Some special reasons?

Yes, father...

She's in the family way.

Oh... Is that so?

When...

When is it... due?

Well, it's quite a while away, Father.

It's only the second month that she's been pregnant.

Happy... Isn't she?

Yes...

I guess so!

Is that why you helped her to flee?

I...? I don't know what you mean, Father!

I said; "Is this the reason, you encouraged Rosie to run away from here?

From me...?

It's not true...

How can you say that...

Because I know, this is the truth, Mrs. Fernandes!

— I better be going. It's quite late! — Wait, Mrs. Fernandes.

— I have to talk! — Please leave me, father. I have a lot of things to do.

I said; I have to talk!

I don't want to talk. Leave me!

Shut up you bitch! I said; I have to talk.

Please release me... or I'll scream!

— Go on! Let me hear you scream. — Leave me... you b-e-a-s-t...

Okay, you bitch!

Let me free you for always.

You deserve it!

Dear God...

as we stand beside this open grave...

in the silent city of death...

and commit this body to the ground...

and we commit the spirit...

together with every sacred interest of her heart...

in to your keeping...

praying that You'd deal graciously... and mercifully, with each of us...

until we too...

shall come...

to our final rseting place.

Through the riches of grace...

in Jesus, Our Lord.

Ashes to ashes!

Dust to dust!

Amen!

Yet, as surely as the Lord lives...

and as you live...

There's only a step between me and death.

It is a step... that all must take!

Parts of the same chain!

No doubt about it!

Oh, my God!

This portion was clasped tightly in the right hand of the body...

in the palm.

Obviously, the victim must have given a good struggle to free herself before...

Before she was... Uhhh... You know what I mean...

Oh God!

And I thought, there wasn't a place where we didn't search for this...

I know... I know, why it happened...

It was all because the body was found on a different beach, miles away.

Apparently, it was swept away by the underwater currents...

Probably, it must have got washed away over there. In the high tides... The next morning!

I feel so scared...

I'm off, alone...

Even Graham left this morning.

Look, don't worry... I'm here!

I wouldn't let anything happen to you, just like that!

But we still have to find out whethere he himself was there.

And that... Somebody else couldn't have stolen the chain and the pendant.

And this...

... only you can find out.

Look, be calm!

Tactfully, try to find out as to what happened to his chain and the pendant.

In the meantime,

I'll try to find out, if anyone saw something suspicious.

And...listen...

Till we gather this information,

I think it would be better not to file the F.I.R.

As that can alert the person, straightway.

Right?

Right, uncle.

I agree with you.

Okay!

I'll see you in a couple of days, perhaps.

Okay! Bye!

Sir, Rosie madam has come down.

That would be fine.

— I have some visitors to meet. — No problem, sir.

I'll come next Saturday.

So you came at last.

You know, I've been busy.

Yes, you've been.

There have been... so many things!

... after momma's death!

Still there are...

I know...!

How have you been?

Me...?

Oh... I've been fine.

Very fine!

Funny, how things change.

What do you mean?

I mean... we stand here together, near this fire-place...

Where we have stood together several times before, yet...

we are so changed!

So dissimilar...

So much strangers to each other.

Funny...? Isn't it?

Show me your hand!

— What? — Your right hand, show it to me!

My hand...?

— Why? — C'mon! I'm not going to bite it off.

Show me your right hand!

Here...

I can feel it!

The mark... You can even see it...

Although feebly... See...!

Remember this? It was here, at this very place.

I put the cross from my...

Yes I remember it!

Where is it gone...? Your chain with that cross...

You always wore it!

I don't know... Perhaps I lost it somewhere. I don't remember.

How come...?

It was always there around your neck...

Everytime you took me, it hung over me...

You even gave its mark to me.

Here...

Yes... Yes... Yes... I know... I don't remember where it is!

I must have dropped it somewhere. I don't remember. I don't know.

Don't know...?

How can you not know?

It was such a sacred ornament...

You always wore it.

That cross is not the issue.

The commitment is the issue!

You took a vow to be faithful to me. ONLY!

I also took vows in a church...

To be faithful... to Graham.

My husband!

Solemn vows!

With you presiding...

You were allowed to get married

because you made a commitment to not have anything to do with that 'so called' husband of yours.

Do you remember?

You bitch...!

Everything you have, everything you are is given by me...

I can take what I like, when I like, how I like!

... and for that... let me show you, what I mean!

NO!

Please, William... NO...!

Please, don't do this.

I'm pregnant!

I have a three month baby in me, please...

You dirty filthy rotten whore...

How could you!

— How could you do this to me? you harlot... — Please... Spare me, William!

If I've ever been anything to you...

Please, forgive me!

I implore you... please...

Just get out of my sight, you shameless bitch!

Before I kill you...

Get out!

Yes sir, I was right here, sir.

The car came striding down from there, sir.

He took such a dangerous curve , sir. I almost fell from my bicycle, sir.

Are you sure, it was him, though?

Yes sir. I'm positive. It was father William.

Okay, let's go. We'll take your statement right now. Come!

Okay, sir!

We have enough circumstantial evidence...

I think...

You can go ahead and file the criminal complaint, now.

Are you sure, uncle?

Yes, I'm sure.

For the first time, I am absolutely sure.

— I feel so scared. — Don't worry!

We shall be very careful.

I'll post some plain clothes security men at your place...

... and I'll also arrange for a police woman to be posted at your house in the nights.

... till the time you're here.

Okay?

— Let me file the complaint! — Good...!

I'll call the recording officer.

Are you absolutely sure about it?

Yes, sir!

Absolutely sure!

Are you sure, your men will be able to do it properly?

Yes, sir!

Get it done then!

— Pay them whatever they want! — Yes, sir!

Why do they have to print such small letters, I don't know!

Look at this, Rodrigues!

— You better read this, first! — What is this?

This woman... Uhhh... Some... Rosemary...

Has written quite a saucy story about Father Williams.

— Says, he's going to get her killed. — Who Father William?

He's the vicar at St. Michaels at Kottarakara...

— Quite a hit stuff here... — Let me see! Let me see!

Jesus Christ!

God Almighty!

Oh no! She's already written to chief minister too...

I must report this matter to the Pope.

But... before I do that you call that fellow... what's his name...?

— William... — Yes, William. Call him over!

I must speak to him first. Don't tell him anything!

Just call him over. I'll keep the letter with me...

I'll do this right away!

Jesus...!

Bhaskaran sir...

— ... have to post this letter! — Sure, I'll. Give it to me!

Thank you!

These maids... you can never depend on them.

He, Don't worry. I'll take care of the utensils and make the breakfast too.

Even if you work in the police force, you've got to do your own household chores.

Just let me come back from the bathroom, okay!

Postman!

Coming!

Sign...!

— What is it? — Get in...

Shashi...

What happened?

Help me...

Help me... Hel...

Hold it... Hold...

Run...

Turn it on... Run...

Stop!

Drive...

Side...

Side...

Give way... Side...

Madam...? Madam...?

I sentence him to death.

He shall be hanged by his neck...

until dead.

I didn't want to kill her.

I only wanted to punish her.

I really loved her!

Over!
