Yes, come. Come on. Don't be scared.
Don't be scared.
I will put you to sleep now.
Here you go.
No, no, no. Don't be restless
I will put you to sleep... In a minute
Know what time it is? - Yes
What? - Don't know
Why did you say 'yes'?
May be ten - eleven
It's two
It's two in the morning
Yes, I know
Aren't you sleeping? - No
Will you be awake the whole night?
No. I'm getting an interesting result
You've been getting interesting results for the past 10 years
I hear that every day, what's new?
But it all ends into nothing. A big nothing.
Because, you'll soon say...
a new question has come up
For how long? There's limit to my tolerance!
You know, Seema
As a child, I'd ask a lot of questions
Like you, father would be annoyed
Once, father and I were walking along the river bank
I was five then
I asked, why does a river always flow from North to South
He said, it was because of the height of Himalayas in the North...
and the depth of the sea in the South
Hence, the river flows from North to South
I asked him, if it was possible to...
make the river flow from South to North
Father said "no". So I said...
Why not build a dam?
To which your father replied...
due to the pressure of water. The dam would burst
Then you'd ask, why is the grass green...
and not red, yellow or blue?
Father would give up and say "Ask your teacher"
He'd also say that you were a precocious child
So, you remember everything
I've heard it a thousand times
Come and sleep
No. I'm getting an interesting result
Very interesting.
You've to go to the hospital, at eight in the morning
I know
For how long, can you bear this strain?
Don't know
Don't bother me. Go and sleep
Let me work in peace
I too can't sleep
Have you ever cared to ask?
Take sleeping pills
Crazy. Madman.
What did I see in him?
Rude, selfish and inconsiderate
I'm to be blamed for marrying him
Seema, give me money for the bus fare
Where are you?
Give me money for the bus fare
Seema, I'm getting late, hurry up
I made a mistake...
marrying a selfish man like you
Don't show your temper, get it.
I too haven't slept the whole night
I drew a blank.
Have to repeat the experiment
But where's the time?
The whole day is spent at the hospital?
What should I do?
I can't do your work at the hospital
I know you can't...
But, at least you can give me some money.
I don't have money for the fare.
I don't need all that
Just two rupees for the tram fare.
I haven't eaten anything. Does it bother you?
I noticed that
Why haven't you eaten? I don't stop you
Come back tomorrow.
How are you now?
I am fine, sir. Thanks to you.
Sir, a new patient
I see.
What's the matter?
I don't know, doctor
I don't feel alright
What do you mean by that?
I don't know
I'm not as healthy as I was
You come to the hospital for simple ailments Take a deep breath
I feel numb in some places
That's because of weakness
No doctor, something is wrong with me
See
Get up
Get up, let me see you walk
Foot fall - Glove and stocking anesthesia
O.K. Come back
Yes, I have taken the medicine.
Come.
Lie on the bed.
Get rid of this patient - Send him home?
No. He won't find a place there. - Why?
His peripheral nerve is affected. Leprosy
My, God. Leprosy.
In spite of being a nurse, you are scared
His relatives won't touch him
Ask the authorities, to send him to a leprosy home
Leprosy is a damn menace to mankind.
Believe me
I hate writing this letter to you
But I cannot live like this anymore
When I came to you
I had many dreams
I thought I'd look after you...
care for you
I expected, you too would care for me...
share my sorrow
that you'd pardon my failings
But nothing like that happened
The day my father died...
you did not come out of your lab
Is this how a husband and wife live?
I feel you don't need me
All you need is a servant
Seema, where are you?
Why are you shouting?
I've defeated him
What's up? My hands are dirty
I've driven out the devil! - Whom?
The devil who was bothering me for 7 years.
That bloody devil.
At last I am able to drive him out.
Whom are you talking about?
I thought I was the only one who bothered you
Toxicity
What?
Toxicity. The toxic factor in my vaccine
Dear me. I thought I had done something wrong
Wrong?
All this is only because of you
I like to hear. You praise me...
But I'm not the one to accept such compliments
Why do you say so?
If you hadn't bought me the freezer,
incubator and microscope...
by selling your jewellery, could I have worked?
All those ornaments were given by your mother
Selling those, I paid five installments
The rest, you are paying
No Seema...
Without you, I'd have achieved nothing
Nothing at all. Really.
I would've remained a worthless doctor
I was waiting for you
You disturb me a lot, Amulya
Journalists are like that
I don't like you.
My fault?
Weren't you a student of astrophysics? - Yes.
A good student at that
You left science to become a correspondent
What was the need?
Does it make any sense.
Everyone can't become a scientist
They are made of different stuff
I am not like them
I know my limitations.
When did you realise this?
After completing Ph. D
You were a Ph. D...
and I'm just a M.B.B. S
There's something in your genes...
which Ph. D's don't have
Useless talk
When I realised, I can't be a scientist...
I love science I can't leave science
I thought, I could serve the cause of science...
by bringing your work to the notice of the government
So that the govt. Is aware...
of the research in fundamental science
A newspaper is the best medium for this
I don't care, if others know about my work
I am a selfish man. Yes, I am.
I am busy with myself and I like being busy with myself.
Average span of a man's life is 70 years
Leave out twenty
Fifty years is nothing in the field of science
There is always somebody from within who is telling me.
So much to do, so little is done.
Hurry up. - Yeah, very true.
Now tell me about your work
Yes, I am on to some interesting results
Is it? - Yes, very interesting.
But it's a long way to go.
Has any book come from Calcutta Bacteriological Institute?
No.
To the lab right away?
Wash up... eat some snacks, then do what you want
Yes, I'm hungry, a lot.
So you feel hungry too!
Met Amulya today
Wouldn't leave me
Nothing has come up yet...
and he wants me to reveal everything
Publicity!
These fellows have commercialised science
Paromita called from Arijit's house
Sister-in-law?
How are they?
Good, at least you inquired
She always asks about you
You never care to reply
She knows, I love her a lot
I know, she loves me too
How is Anjana?
How's my little angel?
Why don't you call them up?
They'll like it
I've yet to drink my tea
Then, drink it
Seema.
Who entered my lab?
I've told you
No one should go there in my absence
Who entered the lab?
Why do you shout?
I dusted up the place, a bit
Yes, the lab will be dirty!
But why did you disarrange the papers?
What did I do?
I only arranged the papers neatly
There was no need for that
There are thousands of notes in them...
and all that is in my mind
Now you have made a mess of it
It will take a day to rearrange them
I hardly have time for work... on top of that nothing.
But wastage of time.
Can I ever work in peace, here?
Go, wherever you find peace.
Who stops you?
You are stopping me and your idiotic, uneducated acts.
I may not be, a mad self imposed scientist like you
But I'm not illiterate, get that.
I have a university degree
I can get a job anytime
I can leave you...
but do you know, why I'm not doing so
Because there's no one else to look after you
You don't have to look after me
Is this how you look after me?
There's another reason for not leaving you
I have not been able to get over...
my love for you...
but I am trying
Are you working on Brucellosis?
No. Brucellosis is an old subject...
but research is going on in this field
I'm trying to develop a hormone
Exercising in the middle of the night
Following it up with a cold shower
Isn't it madness?
Necessity knows no law
Do you know what it means? No?
Why bother about something one can't understand?
Yes. You expect me to be a mute witness, isn't it?
Another person lives in this house
Do you care to look after her needs?
Neither you sleep nor allow others to...
You can sleep whenever you want. Who is stopping you?
You!
Two tiny rooms almost suffocating...
and the sound of the typewriter...
like ghosts dancing in the house!
You should've married a doctor like Arijit...
You would've gotten everything
A huge house, a car, air conditioned rooms, everything.
Sir.
For T.B. We prescribe Isonicotnic Acid Hydrazide...
with Para-Amino Salicylic Acid...
won't this cause toxic side effects
Yes... there could be Vitamin B6 deficiency
Here we have a specific reason
But how does one approach this,
when it is an unknown factor?
We have to give supportive therapy
As quick as possible,
the absorbed drug should be taken out
But, haven't you solved the problem of toxicity?
No, sir
I thought I had, but more work needs to be done
Then go ahead
Must work now.
It must work.
Must work.
What else can it be?
It has to work.
I am famished
Give me something to eat
I have kept your dinner on the table
Okay.
You haven't slept yet?
It's pointless to stay awake
...when you don't have any work
I am working. I am sewing buttons on your shirt
What's this? You call this dinner?
How can I eat this in the middle of the night?
How could I cook,
...when you had taken the stove?
Couldn't you get another stove?
Shops aren't open at midnight
It can be bought only tomorrow
Call up the gas agency for a refill
You call them up
I have to do that too
I'm now on the verge of... an interesting breakthrough...
What's the use telling you?
"The endless journey."
"So many mysteries."
"Yet to unfold."
"The life."
"The endless journey."
"So many mysteries."
"Yet to unfold."
Your aunty has invited us to her grandson's ceremony
She came here and insisted that we come
I've no time for such stupid things.
You go alone
Why should I go alone everywhere?
And why should I accompany you everywhere?
You are the most...
How long can this go on?
It's suffocating
There's no joy in this house...
no love... compassion...
no sense of responsibility
But whatever it is, it's...
Let me make this clear
I have not borne a child deliberately...
The mother alone can't be responsible for the child
A father, too must share this responsibility...
something which a selfish man like you, cannot
Every year India's population increases by as much as...
the entire population of Australia
If we don't take corrective steps,
the country can't progress
The spread of education should not be limited to the cities...
but taken to the villages
The news has come from Calcutta...
that, Dr. Dipankar Roy, a physician, has discovered...
a vaccine. He's been working on this for 12 years
Dr. Roy claims that this vaccine...
will eradicate leprosy from the face of the earth
If a woman takes this vaccine during pregnancy...
her child will be immune to leprosy.
Apart from this, the vaccine...
has a special property
This vaccine can treat sterility in a woman
Since this is a side effect...
Dr. Roy is not sure about it
Dr. Roy works in a government hospital in Calcutta
Isn't he, our uncle Dipu?
Must be
He too works in a government Hospital!
Also, he does research. It's strange!
He must be uncle Dipu. I'll tell father
No. Don't disturb him in his clinic
He'll be glad,
since uncle Dipu is his class-mate
Don't get excited. Tell me when he comes
The invention is...
Why are you so stiff? You had an E.C.G. Before
Put on your shirt
Thank you.
Come
Where's the previous prescription?
I don't have - Why?
Lost it, Sir
Lost it?
Is it possible to remember...
prescriptions of thousands of patients?
Anyway, when was the last E.C. G done?
A month back. You had done it
I was doing alright...
but suddenly this set back
My stars are bad, I suppose
You are right
If your stars were good...
you wouldn't need to consult a doctor
Take this
One Lasix once a day
Always keep Sorbitrate handy
If there's pain in the chest,
put half a tablet under your tongue. Okay.
Thank you.
Goodbye, sir.
Anymore patients? O.K., I'm leaving.
Dad, grand news.
Uncle Dipu has done great work!
What did Dipankar do? Has he beaten up some one?
No. It came on the T. V that he's developed a vaccine.
What is a vaccine?
Vaccine is something which makes us immune to diseases.
Like the one for small-pox, polio...
Uncle Dipu has developed a new vaccine
What?
He has developed a new vaccine for leprosy
Dipankar... our Dipu!
Do you think, we have heard wrong?
They clearly said, Dr. Dipankar Roy works in a medical college
Call up and congratulate him, dad
I don't know what you've heard.
It would create an embarrassing situation...
if the news isn't true
I won't call, unless I'm sure
Call him up. If it's him, he'll tell you
He loves me a lot
Like a magician, he brings out a chocolate for me
He loves your father a lot
Whenever he meets, he greets with an abuse
What's the matter?
What exactly did you hear?
Tell me, without exaggeration
You don't have to believe me
It will be in the newspapers tomorrow
Four thousand rupees
They'll publish his photo in the newspaper. Isn't it?
Of course, dear, they can publish it.
Vaccine for Leprosy.
Dr. Dipankar Roy attached to a government hospital...
...has invented a vaccine for leprosy.
Sir, I often bother you with my problems
I ask you too many questions.
He who seeks to know...
will always ask questions
Sir, I am upset, till I find an answer
I am not at peace, till I solve it
It must be that way
I won't do to evade a problem
One must solve it
I know, I know.
Not being able to solve a problem...
means resignation, retirement, full stop
There's nothing like a full-stop in science
Yes, sir.
Dipankar.
Dipankar.
Go on experimenting without bothering...
about the results...
Go on experimenting. One after the other
One day these experiments...
will reveal a story, that is important
It took 10 long years to invent this vaccine.
He claims that during pregnancy...
...if the mother is inoculated with this vaccine...
...her child will be immune to leprosy.
Dr. Roy claims that soon...
...leprosy will be eradicated from the face of this earth.
Claims that soon leprosy will be eradicated from the face of this earth.
Do you believe now?
A log has been written in the papers
He never told me that he was doing research...
on leprosy
Dipu is different from all of you
He's made of different stuff
I can't express it but he is different
Don't know that, but...
he's always been crazy
I told him to set up private practice...
...instead of government service
He'd say that, he didn't have the patience...
to feel the pulse of a patient by shutting...
his eyes for half an hour
He was an ordinary student
He'd scrape through, where as I'd top the class
He never concentrated on his studies
He didn't think much of the college syllabus
The world outside the syllabus was unknown...
and what's unknown was interesting, he'd say
Where are you going? Food is getting cold - Just a minute.
Hello. - I have done it. I have done it.
Yes, today's edition seems to be only for you
Ten years!
It took me 10 long years.
Never realised the passing of 10 years!
I've enjoyed every moment of these 10 years
I've lived every bit, every moment of it.
Come, some day, to tell me about your research
We live to learn.
Forget it
Will you have the time for this? You are busy with your patients
Like the saying goes, soil is gold.
Every patient only means more money, isn't it?
You're right I've become...
a machine minting money
A money making machine.
At least, you've achieved something
What do you mean?
What makes you think, this is ordinary?
It's such a cursed disease...
that no one goes near the patient
If in a family someone is afflicted...
He has to leave the house
What a cursed disease?
Even doctors... like you won't dare...
...treating a leprosy patient is a far-fetched thing.
I'll eradicate this disease from the face of the earth
It will be eradicated forever.
Everybody must be congratulating you
No Sir, only Orijit called up
He works in a govt. Hospital Who'll congratulate him
If you had developed a tablet as a cure...
All the businessmen and patients would've come here
At school one learnt, prevention is better than cure
That changed everything perhaps
Here are my children!
They look fine, but don't know how long they'll survive
Look at the lab. Will any one believe...
that a vaccine for leprosy was developed here?
One doesn't need an air-conditioned lab...
and expensive instruments to do research.
One needs gray matter...
which your husband possesses in abundance
You sit down and chat, I'll get tea for you.
Now, tell me about your research
Though it's not my subject...
it's allied to my field
Let me understand.
In the thirties, in Germany...
60 years from now, Dr. Altman worked on leprosy...
And published a paper
My work is based on his paper
But you never told me about it
Because I was not sure
What happened then?
Dr. Altman couldn't complete his work
He developed a vaccine X-on
X being an undetermined factor, hence the name
Even after injecting brown mice with...
lepra bacillus, they weren't afflicted
But he made an interesting observation
Some mice born to an X-on injected female...
were afflicted with leprosy
Fascinating.
We know, leprosy is not a hereditary disease
Of course.
That means X-on had done this
Unfortunately, Altman couldn't complete his work
He was sent to a Nazi concentration camp
Just because he was a Jew...
If Einstein hadn't left Germany...
he too would have met a similar fate
Please continue
To Dr. Altman's X-on, I added a hormone...
and succeeded in growing bacilli in brown mouse
This is it
But I faced many problems after that.
But, the toxicity factor cropped up
To solve that, I often came to you
It took me many years to solve it
Anyway, once I grew the bacilli, I got a host
After that it wasn't difficult
It was all easy.
On which animal did you experiment?
As far as I know, Rhesus monkey...
doesn't respond to leprosy
You're right
Armadillo is the ideal animal
But that is only found in America
Of course, we have Pangolin here
How could I get it?
So, I experimented on brown mice
As I worked, I observed something interesting
Sterility
To see the effect of this on a sterile woman...
I injected this vaccine in this...
sterile female monkey
After injecting, she became pregnant
I don't know.
May be this was due to the hormone
Which hormone?
It belongs to the Gonadotropin group
The field is open
If some one works on it...
Gynecologists will be benefited
But this is only a side effect
It would've been better, if you hand...
written about it in the papers
Why?
Dipankar's subject is leprosy and not sterility
It might harm. Forget it
You are still discussing. Should I bring the tea here?
No, I already had some You both go ahead
Can I look at your notes?
Of course, sir.
The list of observations - Thank you.
Go and have tea with them
The problem with Seema is that...
she disturbs while one is working
You are certain, I was born to disturb you
A letter from the government
Must be a congratulatory note
Leprosy is a major problem in our country
What's the matter?
A letter from the health secretary
Wants me to meet him at ten
I hate to meet government officials
Look at this, Sir
He wants me to meet him in his office at ten today
You will have to, you are a government servant
But he's written "to explain certain matters"
What has he written
"To explain certain matters". What does it mean?
It means, you must...
urgently prepare the papers...
I haven't the time to prepare the papers
Ten years have been spent on the experiments
Now, prepare your papers promptly
Lots of things happen in this country
Go, get ready
Meanwhile, I'll write down your notes
I'll need three to four hours
Come Ramanand. How are you?
Have you read today's newspaper...
about Dipankar Roy a leprosy doctor?
Just a minute
Don't send any patients, till I tell you
Yes, I read. - Do you believe?
Do you believe it? Absolute bluff.
Do you think it's a bluff?
Sheer bluff.
Don't you know Dipankar?
He is a mad man, couldn't achieve anything
Now making sensational news
In medical science, no one can bluff
If he's bluffing, he'll be found out
And that'll be quite embarrassing for him
He'll be caught, but he is shameless
We've studied together
I know him well
He is very different
You may not like what I am saying...
...because he was your class mate
I can spare no sentiments for him
If he was really brilliant why is he, only an M.B.B. S?
Why couldn't he get a higher degree like you and me?
Do you know he sings?
Yes, and that too with a harmonium!
But what's wrong with it?
Einstein used to play the violin
Satyen Bose played the ESRAJ
Dr. Homi Bhabha was a painter
What are you saying?
Comparing him with Einstein, Satyen Bose, Dr. Bhabha?
Can there be any comparison, damn it.
You are underestimating him
He was always out of the ordinary
He has tremendous determination
I don't believe a word of his
Even, it is theoretically impossible.
Okay, okay.
Let him say what he likes regarding leprosy...
I don't mind
But what right has he to enter the domain of gynecologists?
He claims that his vaccine will treat sterility
That, barren woman can conceive
I've read that
But he's not definite about it
He clearly said, it was a side effect
If he is not definite then, why did he talk to the press?
I am fed up, explaining to my patients
Un-cultured and devoid of ethics!
Can we remain silent?
But his real work is his vaccine for leprosy
It isn't that simple
If it were possible to develop a vaccine for leprosy...
...then it would've been done in England or America!
Leprosy.
We've found treatment only for Kalazar...
...we owe it to K. N Brahmachary
I need your help. We must stop him
I won't waste your time, I'll leave
Send the patient in
Come, Dr. Roy - What's the matter?
Your letter "To explain certain matters"
What do you mean?
Have I stolen medicines?
Have I been negligent to any patient?
Or have I exposed government documents
What is it?
Please sit. Don't get excited
Please sit.
Tell be briefly. I don't have much time
Look, I was a student of literature
I'm not competent to comment on your vaccine
I know my limitations
But here I am an officer.
Government has given me the responsibility of administration.
My job is to co-ordinate
You are a doctor in a government hospital...
hence an officer like me
There's a code of conduct...
You can't talk to the press Without Government's permission
Meaning, all my labour will be in vain?
...Just because, I spoke to the press...
Oh no... you've done good work
Government should be proud of you
You meet the Director of Health
Explain to him. He has a lot of experience
He has many foreign degrees.
He'll understand your work
You people, preferred technocrats to bureaucrats
Take him to Dr. Roy, the Director of Health. - Okay
With whose permission did you...
...do personal research in a government lab?
With whose permission did you...
...do personal research in a government lab?
I did not use the government lab
I've built a small lab in my house
I've got help from some friends who have their private labs
You should have come to me. I'd have guided you
Yes, the German scientist... What's his name...
Altman?
Isn't your work based on his paper?
Dr. Altman was an Austrian Jew, not a German.
What's the difference?
Germany and Austria are like East and West Bengal
Do you know, no one believes your claim
In science, there's nothing like belief
Proof is needed. Proof!
Let me complete my papers, you'll be convinced. I am sure.
How long will you take to do that?
About three months. - Three months.
Two renowned gynecologists say that...
your claim is a hoax
A mad man's talk
Tea for me
How does my research concern the gynecologists?
What do you mean?
Didn't you say, the vaccine...
should be given to women?
Women aren't the personal property of gynecologists
But we've to face the consequences
If there are adverse reactions...
who'll be responsible? You?
Experimenting on humans will be much later
A lot of work needs to be done
Why is a woman given vaccine for pox and cholera?
That too is a poison
Don't talk nonsense
Are you in your senses?
Leprosy is a cursed disease
The society dreads it...
The society dreads it...
because there is no cure for it
If it were like influenza...
...which gets cured quickly...
no one would have bothered
Take the example of Tuberculosis
If a person was afflicted with T. B...
no one dared to enter his room
Does anyone bother about T.B. Now?
You better don't try to teach me science.
But, you are being unscientific
Unscientific? - Yes, you are talking like a layman.
Who made you the director?
I say, my vaccine will eradicate leprosy from the face of the earth
I mean like...
...plague, polio, tetanus...
...pox.
Yes.
What's the matter doctor? You look worried
No... nothing
They insulted me... and my work
In our country every person, big or small...
is insulted often...
Your work shouldn't be affected on account of ignorant fools
I am fed up
When I started my research...
I was determined to devote myself to research
I didn't care for anybody
Not even Seema
When persons who don't know the basics of science...
interfere in my work... I lose my head
Two gynecologists are hounding me
Gynecologists.
Dr. Ramanand Chatterjee and Dr. Prashant Mullick
There's a big group behind them
But why?
He hasn't harmed anyone
He was immersed in his work
It's what he has said...
the vaccine's side effect on female sterility
Don't talk nonsense
That was just an observation. A possibility
It was my mistake
It was my mistake
I thought the news will reach America and London...
and then come here
So, I thought, I'd give our people the news first
How could I know, they'd be the first to stab
Why can they stab? Me, at the most
They can't kill science
If one scientist dies... another will replace him
Research will go on
The sad part is that history doesn't record...
...the names of these rogues.
They will go on damaging for generations and go Scot free
I think we should unmask them.
Everyone isn't like that
There are many, who encourage
In Calcutta there are many renowned doctors...
but they are great human beings first
Is something wrong?
What's worrying you?
Nothing
You've been like that...
...since you heard the news about Dipankar
You know, I don't talk much
Nor can I be over-enthusiastic about something
I feel there's something else...
What?
Hello.
Shyamali, what is it?
What...
...really?
I'll talk to you later
B.B. C has flashed the news about Deepankar
The B.B. C? - Yes.
Did you hear it right? - Shyamali just told me
So your Deepankar has become an international figure
What is it, Ma?
B.B.C. Has flashed the news about Deepankar
Great! Shall I call him up?
Yes I will talk to him too
Hello.
Aunty, did you know?
Anjana... what is it?
B.B.C. Has flashed the news about uncle Dipu
B.B.C.
Aunty.
Aunty are you listening?
Yes, I am listening.
Where's uncle Dipu?
Wait, I'll call him
Do you hear? Come quickly.
What is it? - Anjana says B.B. C has broadcasted the news about you
Hurry up.
Is my little princess dreaming up something?
It is true. Where is my chocolate?
Science hasn't progressed that far...
that I can send chocolates over the phone
At least, I can't do that
It's a physicist's job
I'll give you a box of chocolates
Fine. Everyday I'll eat one
Talk to mother
Okay. Sister-in-law.
Can't you come over even once?
Why don't you come over?
After hearing the B.B. C news I want to come right away
Come. But I think it over
Three months back my aunt had come...
she was angry
She said, if she knew, I was working...
on such a dreadful disease...
she'd never have brought the kids
What is Arijit up to?
He says, you've become an international figure
So I've become international?
Arijit is a great physician
But I must tell you he has no gray matter
Shall I tell him? - Oh no
I don't want to be beaten at this age
He often bet me on account of my studies
I feel very happy about this
Everyone asks about you
I tell them. You are my crazy brother
Come over, soon
I will
Call for you, Sir
Hello. - Dr. Ramanand speaking?
Director of Health, Dr. Khastagir
Hello, sir. Stop that mad man - Who?
Dipankar Roy He is messing up a lot
He came to my office and made exaggerated claims
As if we know nothing about medical science
He is your subordinate officer
Yes He is a government servant
We'll take steps for insubordination
But we need your help
I hear, that, some leading doctors are backing him
You know, we doctors are not united
You know, we doctors are and jealousy will be there
But I agree with you.
Okay, we'll talk later
Okay.
B.B.C. Has broadcasted the news of Dr. Dipankar Roy
Till the foreigners recognize the work
We don't believe in it
In spite of being a renowned gynecologist...
you believe such nonsense!
Yes, I do
You may laugh
I don't know Dr. Dipankar Roy, never met him either
But I heard, he's been experimenting for many years
You believe him!
I say, it's a stunt
A stunt to get a promotion
The vaccine is for a certain disease...
how can it treat sterility in a woman?
There is a relation between chicken pox and women
What?
Some women become blind when afflicted...
with chicken pox, after puberty
Women deliver deformed babies...
...if during pregnancy, they are afflicted by German measles
That is something else
The anatomy of a woman is very complicated...
I am a gynecologist
You don't have to teach me gynecology
Fraud.
Dr. Dipankar Roy is a fraud
I request you not to make baseless charges against anyone...
...without an in depth study of the subject
I have gone through your notes
The effect of Gonadotropin on X-on is interesting
Not just interesting.
It's an original work
I've sent a copy of your notes to...
John Anderson Foundation
When? - In the morning, today
Certain people are out to harass you...
hence I decided to send it right away
You did the right thing, Sir
I was thinking of doing the same But, who'd listen to me?
A prince by virtue of his birth...
doesn't become a king
Credibility is necessary.
Have you thought of experimenting on humans
Before experimenting on humans...
I'll have to remove the toxic factor
I have to seek permission
Whose permission? - The government's
My body does not belong to the government
If you need my body, just tell me
This is a vaccine for leprosy
I know, it's not for influenza
It's for leprosy
But my body has become old and worn out
If this old man's body...
...is useful in the cause of science...
I shall be happy
Perhaps you don't know
Prof. J.B.S. Haldane volunteered his body...
to Dr. Sanyal for cancer related experiments
I'll remember your word, Sir
Till the last day
Because of you, I'm fortunate...
to meet a great soul like Dr. Kundu
Didn't you know him before?
I knew that, Dr. Kundu is a renowned microbiologist
He's known internationally as well.
But, I didn't know, he was such a great soul
Hello, Dr. Roy. Is that story true?
What? - The one about the vaccine
Not many are believing it
It's a matter of faith between a doctor and a patient...
as it is between the doctor and industry
But medicine itself is science...
irrespective of belief or not
Come, Aman.
Can't you disconnect the door bell?
Hello. - Hello.
All of us are doctors...
...We want to meet Dr. Roy
But he can't be disturbed now
We won't use much of his time
Please sit. I'll call him
Some junior doctors have come
All because of Amulya Publicity!
What was the need?
Greetings - Please sit.
What is it? - We wish to arrange a lecture by you
I don't lecture
We'd like to know about your vaccine
We know nothing about it
We could benefit from your lecture
So, you want to know about my vaccine
Sit down. - Thank you, sir.
Have I met you before? - Yes, at Dr. Kundu's lab
You said, people didn't believe in the vaccine
Sorry, sir. - No, no, you don't have to be sorry.
I should be sorry, I was rather rude to you the other day.
Alright, let me know the time and place...
I'll be there? - Okay, sir.
Thank you, sir. - Okay.
You look very happy
You look very happy - Will you have tea?
Let's have
Can I help you type your notes?
This is unlike the typing in an office...
where a bureaucrat dictates...
and the steno types rapidly
Why waste time in such matters? Go... make tea
What are you fighting over?
Now my work is surely finished!
Read today's paper - I don't read newspapers
I too haven't - Read it
Criticism of Dr. Roy's vaccine
Let me read it to you
Dr. Ramanand and Dr. Sushant Mullick...
have criticised the vaccine developed by Dr. Roy...
According to them, without experimenting on humans...
it's ridiculous to claim its success
Dr. Ramanand says... - To hell with Ramanand!
Idiot of a man.
I won't go to any seminar
Why should this affect the lecture?
Lecture?
Some junior doctors invited him to speak about his vaccine
That's good
People will know about his vaccine
You've promised. You must go
Or they'll think otherwise
Let them... idiots!
Now, let me work
What's the fault of the young doctors?
They were really interested in your work
Why is Dr. Ramanand concerned about my vaccine?
How does it concern any doctor?
The acceptance of the vaccine will be decided...
by the microbiologists, molecular biologists, cellular biologists
It will be tried on humans
Results and reactions will be studied...
a long way to go...
yet they are abusing me, now
Our great country... Not just ours, all around the world...
All those who strived to achieve something...
have had to contend with abuse
I developed this vaccine long ago
But it took so long, to remove it's toxicity
I'll go away... with Seema I'll go to Africa...
Leprosy is a major problem there
I won't go with you
If everyone leaves like that...
won't good work ever be done in this country?
I don't belong to a country, I care for Man...
Creature of this universe.
A disease, of this dreadful disease...
Whether developed by me or someone...
is to serve Man
If we can do it... against all odds
It will instill confidence in future scientists
You must go for the lecture
Let's go, please.
Let's see the response
I don't think you need a long introduction...
since all of you are doctors
Or would-be scientists.
The first step in my research was...
to infect an animal with leprosy
Because if once we have an infected host it's possible to know...
whether we can rid the host of the disease
We'd like to hear the story about your vaccine
Yes, that's a strange story
I am coming to that
As you know, leprosy attacks at an early age...
But it's incubation period is long...
after 15 to 20 years one can know if it is leprosy
We've not come to listen to school texts
I am talking about lepromatus
I am talking about lepromatus
After culturing, lepro bacillus...
when I injected it in brown mice...
Why not in a cat?
Since leprosy is infected in childhood...
I experimented in two ways
On a dozen each of male and female brown mice
I noticed, that after vaccination
When I inoculated them with lepro bacillus...
All the mice were infected...
except the young ones of the female mice who were vaccinated
Then I froze that bacillus by freeze drying...
In these days of power cuts, which fridge did you use?
Who said that?
You said that.
No scientist is present here
I'm not talking about the domestic fridge...
I mean, liquid nitrogen freezer, do you understand?
Will someone ask this leper doctor to sit?
Dr. Roy we have no interest in leprosy
Then, why did you call me?
I've only worked on the leprosy vaccine
Just because a few suffers from leprosy...
must all women be injected...
With the leprosy vaccine
Do you know the number?
3.5 to 4 million people...
suffer from leprosy in our country
Why do you vaccinate for pox?
That too is a poison
Do you or not?
I ask from the gynecologist's point of view. - What?
Why did you claim that your vaccine can treat sterility in a woman?
I thought this was a science seminar
But this is a circus arena
You are a joker.
All of you are bunch of jokers.
No, no, no, no.
I'd like to hear Dr. Roy... please
How is Gonadotropin related to your vaccine?
I used it as a medium
I never claimed, that my vaccine will...
treat sterility in a woman
But a possibility exists
And possibility is a very big thing in science.
Where did you get Gonadotropin?
One needs to import it.
Show us your import license
I developed it myself from horse's blood.
Horse's blood?
You have any doubts.
Down with the Leper doctor.
Down with the Leper doctor.
Down with the Leper doctor.
Leave me. Leave me.
Brother.
You are drenched in sweat
Are you well?
There's pain in the chest
Let's go to the hospital
No. I'll go to Seema
It may be a heart problem Let's go to the hospital first.
No. Let's go to Seema
Let me open the window.
Let me get some fresh air
Where can you get fresh air?
It's lost somewhere.
The meeting that we went to... is a reflection of our society
We are part of a society...
in which some persons want to destroy you. Why?
Because they can't contribute...
they want to destroy you
What's the matter?
Nothing. I want to lie down
What happened? - They were rogues!
He became sick
I wanted to take him to the hospital But he insisted to see you
It's my fault
I insisted on him going to the meeting
You did right
I spent my life in this tiny lab...
Today I realised the existence of the outside world
Sit near him I'll call Arijit - No... No.
No need to call Arijit
I am a doctor
I know, what's wrong with me
Amulya, go now
You're a journalist, you've to cover the meeting
I cover meetings and seminars...
not hooliganism
And I am telling you.
I won't remain silent
Those who've insulted you...
who are they anyway?
Who are they?
Who are they.
These are the same people who accused Dr. J. C. Bose.
Of stealing laboratory instruments
It's funny that we go to see a play on Galileo...
and applaud resoundingly
I will get that. There's no limit to our pretensions
Hello. - Do you think science is child's play?
Who told Dipankar to give the lecture?
Advance publicity on T.V., radio...
has resulted in adverse reactions...
and now this meeting!
Tell him, he must complete his papers quickly
Hello.
I am worried
He is not well
What?
What are you saying?
Disturbance at the meeting?
I don't know
He was humiliated...
He is ill...
complained of pain in his chest
Just a minute
Dipankar has fallen ill
He was invited to a meeting where he was insulted
He complained of pain in the chest
Seema... is he perspiring?
He was drenched in sweat when he came
I'll come right away
I'll do the E.C. G there
Orijit. - Idiot, why did you come to the phone?
Go and lie down, I'm coming
Don't bother, I am fine
I knew, Seema has no one to call except you
I am fine
Tell Paro not to worry
Is he refusing?
I knew it.
Aren't you a doctor?
Why do you ask?
I believed, doctors have a code of ethics
I do follow the code. - No.
You don't
All of you are after Dipankar's blood
Me!
I'm your wife
You can't hide it from me
You are one of them
Why does Ramanand call you often?
Always talking about Dipankar
He unjustly criticised Dipankar in the press
But you did not protest
Shame! You and Dipankar grew up together
He loves you dearly
It's nothing to do with personal relationship
As a gynecologist, Ramanand has a right to protest
There are more renowned gynecologists than him...
They did not protest
Why is he masterminding the campaign?
Why does he want you on his side?
If you wish, You can stop all this
Who am I? Why should they listen to me?
Don't evade Everyone in Kolkata respects you
A hospital is under your charge
All nursing homes recommend you
You have influence in the government
Medical science is not in my hands
I'm a doctor, but Dipankar is a scientist
A scientific invention is not child's play
There'll be debates, discussions...
and seminars
Everyone will ask for proof
And Dipankar will have to furnish that
Here, neither you, me or Dipankar...
nor our personal relationship matters
Arijit, you know?
I have sent Dipankar's notes...
to John Anderson Foundation
John Anderson Foundation? - Yes.
I have great hope
After a long time, an original work in science...
a major break through in India
Sir.
Okay
Send it today by hand delivery
Okay, sir.
A letter from the government. Sign here
They have transferred me to a village
What shall I do now?
My papers aren't ready yet
A lot of work is unfinished
How can I write my paper,
if I don't stay in Calcutta?
Sit down.
Dr. Roy has been transferred to a village
Thus depriving a scientist from doing his research
We can't publish that
Why? - Dr. Roy is not Newton or Einstein.
After them, there are many scientists...
about whom we do not know
But that doesn't matter here
The fact is that, the Director of Health...
is deliberately hounding Dr. Roy
This might irreparably harm, the cause of science
Let him prove he is a scientist
Give him a chance to do that
Government will stop all advertisements
Do you know?
We cannot annoy them.
Advertisements keep a newspaper going...
not a scientist
You are absolutely right
Advertisements keep a newspaper going...
But I, better be going...
It's only a five hours journey from Calcutta
I shall see you every weekend
Aren't you coming with me?
Once we leave this house...
it will be difficult to get it again
Besides, you aren't going there forever
When will you return...?
And, who'll look after your "children".
I'll manage to get a job in school...
or else, running two establishments...
will be difficult
Don't worry,
I am with you
Do I have to examine all of them?
They have just started coming.
There'll be many more
John Anderson Foundation, London.
Dr. Dipankar Roy, co government health services.
John Anderson Foundation, dear Dr. Roy.
...we are so happy to learn by the letter of Dr. Kundu...
About your valuable work on leprosy.
We are very much interested to know about your findings.
John Anderson. Nonsense.
John Anderson Foundation. Foundation.
I've brought your dinner
Eat before it becomes cold
Keep it. I'll have it later.
It's already very late. Please eat now
Can't you see I'm working? I'll eat later
Okay. At least close the front door
The place is full of thieves.
When did you come?
Came straight from the station
You aren't going back tomorrow?
If I don't, who'll look after your lab animals?
They were of no use
Somebody, they will be...
They will.
Do you really believe?
Certainly
I haven't been able to do any work
The papers aren't ready
I miss you a lot
What is happening?
Don't do that
How can I leave you like this?
Please don't...
Let's go It's getting dark
What are you looking at?
The sea
The questions of science are like the waves
One after the other they rise in the mind
A big question followed by a small one...
a small one followed by a big one
I can answer these questions
Yes
At least, some of them
But I feel very helpless now
Things will change
Things will change, someday
Just like you want it to be
I come here and sit everyday
I look at the stars
I get a strange feeling
I can't express it
The twinkling stars seem...
to send a message to me...
a challenge...
as if saying on your tiny planet...
you humans are always fighting each other
What a waste of time
Look at us
Try to know us
You are ignorant of the mysteries...
of this vast universe
As humans, you are too proud
With all your knowledge and wisdom...
how much do you know about us?
Seema, there are some...
who want to accept this challenge...
they want to take the plunge...
but there are others who pull them back
Why?
I have no answer for that
There are no reference books here
It's difficult to work here
Tell me, the books you need...
I'll get them next week
Only books won't do. I need a lot of other things too...
Help from chemists...
the Calcutta Bacteriological Institute...
Dr. Kundu
Research can't be done by a single person
It is a team work.
Where to?
A lot of work needs to be done.
Still five hours to go before dawn.
Let me work, you sleep
I have come only for a day
Can't you stay with me for a while
Excuse me, where can I find Dr. Dibankar Roy.
Well, you have found him. - Oh, Dr. Roy. Good morning.
Good morning. - I am so glad to find you at last.
You know I have come all the way from London just to meet you.
Really?
Am I that important?
Of course you are.
I am so sorry, I forgot to introduce myself.
I am Dr. Emily Bernard from John Anderson Foundation.
Pleased to meet you Dr. Bernard.
But who gave you my address?
Mr. Kundu gave us your address.
And it was he who wrote to us about your work.
Then we wrote to your health department saying that...
...we would like to interview you.
But we received no reply.
However, we are not so easy to put out so I came here in person.
It is indeed very kind of you, Dr. Bernard.
My wife. - Good morning.
I think first you need a wash.
And then some tea or coffee.
That will be very nice, thank you.
Come this way, please.
My papers are not ready, Dr. Bernard...
...but these are the synopsis and some of my notes.
So you can have a look at them and then we can discuss about it...
...when I come back.
I am afraid I have to go to the hospital.
Seema will take care of you.
Okay, thank you.
It's so comprehensive.
Sugar. - No, thank you. Just milk.
Will you try some Indian food with us.
Nothing much.
Just some fish and vegetables available here.
Please don't take too much trouble.
Whatever you cook I will be glad to take.
Now, if you don't mind I would like to concentrate on these papers.
Yes, certainly.
Thank you, Dr. Roy, you have been so kind.
I hope I have not taken up too much of your precious time.
On the contrary, Dr. Bernard, I have been educated by your visit.
Thank you very much.
Seema will help you reach Kolkata.
Please don't bother, I am used to traveling alone.
No, I have to board the same train anyway.
Since I work in Kolkata, I come here only on weekends.
Alright. Well then, thank you once again.
Come on
Seema has been waiting for long
Have you finished your talking?
She hasn't come here to gossip
She has come to meet you
How are you Seema?
How is Dipu?
Can't he get a transfer...
back to Calcutta?
You know, Seema?
Dipankar is very short-tempered
He loses his head over little matters
He abused the Director of Health...
in his own office
Officials are annoyed with him
I admit he's brilliant
But he lacks humility
I don't know how I can help
If you would see him once...
he is miserably alone in the village
All through the night he works on his papers
Some times, he feels pain in his chest
He is drenched in his sweat
He is my husband
Yet, I have to take care of him like a child
In spite of his faults, should such a talented man...
like him, be lost forever
Won't he get another chance?
Dr. Emily Bernard from the John Anderson Foundation...
came to interview him in the village
But his papers were not ready
Seema
Calm down, Seema
Please.
Come, Paromita. Let's get Seema to her house
No need. She can go herself
Dr. Bernard has asked me to send this...
to the health department
I don't know anyone other than you
They had written to the health department before...
but they didn't receive any reply
Arijit... please come
After a long time
How is everything?
Have come with an appeal
Appeal to me?
Only 2 years to go before I retire
Then, I'll have to appeal to you
Why? - To get a few patients on your recommendation
How will I survive?
Let's come to business.
You should bring Dipankar back to Calcutta
Why?
For our own good
He should be given a chance...
to get his papers ready
He can do that in the tranquil...
atmosphere of the village
To complete his work, he needs to be in Calcutta
We know that
Call him back, or it will cost you your job
Has he complained to the minister?
No
Has he spoken to the opposition leader...
to make an issue of it in the assembly
Nothing of that sort
John Anderson Foundation had invited him...
They had written once, earlier
Seems, it was misplaced here
Lost amongst thousands of flies
And it's not easy to find it.
Perhaps you don't know
The British are very different
Dr. Emily Bernard of the Foundation...
personally met Dipankar in the village
She gave this letter
She's invited him again, with all his papers.
If the press were to latch on to this
Then surely, questions would be raised in the assembly
And then the tempest will start pouring far beyond the tea cup.
I don't know, how to hand over charge
Don't worry. Please sit
I'll do it
I've spent my whole life in transfers...
from one hospital to another
Are you leaving today?
Yes. Lots of work to do in Calcutta
Sign here. - Thank you.
How long will you need...
to get your papers ready?
How long?
About two months
Unless your papers are examined...
by the government at a high level...
We can't allow you to go abroad.
But surely, you can resign
It's not possible for me to resign
I'm in debt, because of the lab, I built at home
Then work in a private hospital
After statements of the gynecologists...
which hospital will employ me? Tell me.
They've stamped me as the leper doctor
Then be an assistant to Arijit... your class mate
That won't be possible for me
I'll write to John Anderson Foundation...
that I'll send the papers after getting your clearance
No... no.
You don't need to write that.
Tell them...
that your papers aren't ready yet
You'll send them later.
Isn't that the truth?
Okay.
Dipankar is forming a group
How is that?
Famous gynecologist Dr. Biswas...
is openly canvassing for him
Dr. Banerjee, Dr. Mitra are baking him
Some skin specialists are praising him
Then, you better stop
Are we villains to run away?
Our group may be small, but it's powerful
I am going to unmask him
I belong to no group
I'm on the side of truth
I agree. Let truth prevail
An enquiry committee is being set up
Enquiry committee? - Yes.
That's a sure way to suppress the truth forever...
...that's the only job of an enquiry committee.
I beg to differ with you.
Director of Health wants it
B.B. C has broadcasted this news
The Anderson Foundation has sent an invitation
The matter cannot be taken lightly
You are right.
Of course, we've to think of our prestige!
Don't be sarcastic.
It's decided, who'll be in the committee
Who?
You... as the Chairman
Me? - Yes.
You must be joking.
I don't have time for such silly matters
Let's go.
I've arranged the papers in this file
Here's your coat
I don't need a file or a coat
Am I going for an interview?
That I should wear a suit and carry this file.
Won't there be eminent persons on the committee?
Enquiry committee my foot.
Am I some criminal, that I have to face...
an enquiry committee?
Was there an enquiry committee for Dr. J. C. Bose...
C. V. Raman, P.C. Roy?
But things have changed
Nothing has changed
We are still in the dark ages
Enquiry committee will judge me!
Is there a man in Calcutta...
who can talk to me about leprosy?
One man.
Listen.
Don't lose your temper
Okay, leave me
Don't go by bus or train
Take a taxi
You're late.
This is an enquiry committee meeting
Shut up.
Come, please sit
Shut the door
I'll introduce the members of the committee
The chairman, Dr. Ramanand Chatterjee
Famous gynecologist.
Gynecologist, Dr. Sitapati Sengupta
Uma Shankar Upadhyay, who runs a leprosy home
Dr. Kedarnath Das, who runs a leprosy clinic
And I'm a member secretary appointed by the government
You claim to have invented a vaccine for leprosy
In scientific terms, it's wrong to say so...
But there's a possibility...
A definite possibility.
Do you have the papers of your experiments?
I didn't feel the need to bring them
In my leprosy home there are 556 patients
We look after them
I think, this disease is incurable
May I know the treatment?
There is just one treatement. Chalmugra oil
That was used in the 19th century
No, in the 19th century it was applied on the skin
Now we inject it
Oh, God.
That's more painful than the disease
In our clinic we give the modern treatment
I know, you treat with D.D.S.
Di Amino Di phenyl Sulpha, commonly known as Depsone
Yes, Depsone.
No, but there are other drugs
Such as. - Ciba 1806. - Lamprene
In case you don't know, It's a Swiss medicine
It's not a drug... but a dye
After using it, patient's skin colour changes
So patients decline to use it
We've no information about that
Search for it, you'll find it
Don't you try M.D.T?
I mean multi drug therapy
In the non infectious type... Dapson...
Rifampicin
But owing to it's toxicity, you can't give...
to a patient who has jaundice
In infectious type, Dapson, Rifampicin and Lamprene
How long can one give?
Why? But Dapson gives positive results
Owing to bacterial resistance it won't work long.
Once the bacteria becomes immune it will stop working. So.
So we can say no sign of control of Leprosy so far.
That's why we want to know about your work
You?
Who are you anyway?
Shut up, and give us scientific explanations...
regarding your vaccine's property of treating sterility
Sorry.
I cannot say anything about that.
Since this is not my subject.
My subject is leprosy not your damned sterility!
The committee expects some humility from you
Where are your research papers?
How can we judge?
You will judge me?
You?
Are you a molecular biologist?
Are you a cellular biologist?
Who amongst you is a microbiologist?
You call yourself doctors?
You don't even know the drugs for leprosy.
You are not even doctors.
You are a bunch of jokers.
Are we to be insulted like this?
Is this what we have been called for?
Don't we have any respect?
Doctors. - Please calm down.
Sorry, gentlemen, I am very sorry.
Calm down, please calm down.
You don't have the manners to talk.
Dr. Roy, you are ruining yourself
No, I am ruining the cause of Man
Humans.
John Anderson Foundation has invited me...
to read my papers. Just allow me to go
Impossible.
We have a glorious tradition in the field of science
We can't allow its reputation to be spoilt...
...in a foreign land
What do all of you think?
Why do you need permission?
Just resign and go
Anderson Foundation will gladly accept you
No, no, it's not that.
Just a minute.
I suggest Dr. Roy should...
apply through the proper channel
The government will think over it...
and do the needful
Right. - I agree
It means, you want to finish me here
You hounded me from the beginning
From the beginning.
I am not afraid of you
Not even one.
And you. Look here Mr. Lion face. Your face is like a lion
Your face is like a lion
In ancient Ayurved that's the first sign of leprosy
So be careful.
You are all lepers
You shout like a lion?
I admit, I have not developed a vaccine
I surrender.
I made them suffer, Seema
I infected them with leprosy
They suffered for years
But why?
For what?
Have you thought about the future?
Your papers are ready.
We can send your papers to the Anderson Foundation
Prior to that, you have to resign
He will resign, Dr. Kundu
I won't allow him to work there
This job is the cause of all problems.
Since I'm working now
We will manage with that.
He will concentrate only on research
Brother.
Sir.
Good, you are here
I've brought news...
published in a foreign medical journal
Shall I read?
Read it
We are happy to say that, vaccine for leprosy...
Has been developed...
based on Dr. Altman's incomplete work...
With a hormone of the Gonadotropin group as the medium...
it has been possible to grow lepro bacilli
As a result, brown mice could be made host
This is what Dipankar did
You are right
The vaccine should be taken by the mother during pregnancy...
so that her baby will be immune to leprosy
At last. Dipankar.
The vaccine has another property
It treats sterility in a woman
This journal congratulates the scientists
And hopes, leprosy will soon be eradicated...
like pox and plague...
Yes, yes.
The names of the scientists are Graham Jacob...
of the Research unit of microbiology of Massachusetts...
and Dr. Alberto Bassilini
Here's news from India.
A claim of developing the vaccine also came from India
But the papers couldn't reach here
Also, neither the scientists, physicians...
nor the government of India...
supported the claim
Scientific discovery is a race...
a competition
Research is going on all over the world
Thousands of scientists are involved.
There's no time to waste
All of us destroyed such an original work
I had to kill them, Seema
I had no choice
They were suffering
Dipankar, Dr. Emily Bernard has written to you...
at my address, so that it reaches you
She's also written to me
She feels sorry for you
I'll read the letter, listen.
My dear Dr. Roy.
A new era has begun
in the field of...
microbiology and molecular biology
Even then, we know...
less than 10% of the human body
The rest is as unknown as the mysteries of space
Many leading scientists are working on it
We invite you to join hands with them
General Electric has very recently built a laboratory in Chicago.
They will be very happy indeed if you can join them.
I assure you, you will face no difficulties there.
We hope that...
I very sincerely hope...
...that like leprosy,
You will be able to solve the problems of many dreaded diseases...
...that threaten mankind.
After all,
my research was not wrong
Think, sir.
Man will be free from leprosy
I want to work
