Private Detective: Two Plus Two Plus One Page #2

Synopsis: An urban contemporary film about adultery, murder and betrayal in the film noir style. A simple story to which the director imparts a feeling of unrest and disquiet, catching the city in its various moods. The film breaks generic conventions, notably in the presentation of the private detective through his deglamourised life and his process of discovery of 'who did it'. It is not constructed through his point of view at all. In fact the policeman and the detective, the fact finders, are in the dark about the crime, to the very end.

she realized her mistake"

"As it happens in a story,

she pitied herself"

"For all he said,

she read otherwise"

"For all his dreams,

she realized something else"

She finally panicked.

- I found this lying down

"For my friend's lies,

his wife screamed out the truth"

Now hurry up and tell

what happened finally

"Raj, you are dragging it too far.

- And finally one day... "

it all came to an end.

He killed himself

"When we broke the door and entered,

he was suffering, fighting with death"

The gun was lying by his side.

He had lost a great deal of blood

He was dying

but he had not changed

He had five different stories

to describe his death

"First he said he shot himself,

then he invented a thief... "

"then a girl, a friend,

vengeance, misery, accident"

"He cried, he smiled

and finally... he was gone"

"We, his friends, were by his side

till he breathed his last"

We did what we could

"Death meant nothing to him,

he swore"

"Then, it was all over"

God save us from such a death.

- Raj...

I never heard this story

from you

Maybe because it's fresh

"Hey, I almost filched your lighter"

"You can keep it if you like.

- No, I don't want it"

It's a loving gesture from him.

It's only a lighter...

"not a diamond ring. Keep it.

- All right, to please you"

Well done.

You must never refuse a gift

Absolutely.

- Always be grateful

"I hate that story, Raj"

"Because you are innocent,

and clean at heart"

Recognize me?

- Who are you?

You got my present?

- What have you got?

Some memorable photographs

Maybe you'd preserve them for ever

They mean nothing to me

Might mean something

to someone else

You can't threaten me.

- Oh no...

the photographs weren't taken

to threaten anyone

I'm only looking for someone

who'd appreciate my art

"Believe me, there's a whole lot of

buyers for such stunning photographs"

Aren't you ashamed?

No

"However, it's quite evident

in your eyes"

I want the negatives.

- For an extra price

I want the negatives.

- Certainly. I'm not running away

I could help you

in other ways

Deep thinking is bad for hair

"I wasn't thinking,

I was looking at you"

What do you see?

- Everything

I can see through your heart

Guess what's on my mind?

- You are in a quandary

What's the solution?

- Money

Wow! How much?

This much

What for?

- You laid a condition;...

I shouldn't ask such questions

But let me ask this much...

why did you marry me?

Because you are gentleman.

- I'm a gentleman?

"That's not true.

- Really, Raj, you are a nice person"

Not at all

Not I... you are

a nice person though

"All right, I'm nice

and you are evil"

Amrita...

do you still love me?

Yes

How much?
