But also the girl...

who lost herself after

becoming Mrs. Sengupta.

Mom once said...

that a silence would envelope

Barfi and me.

And that some day that

silence would drown out our love.

But silence was all Ranjeet and I had.

We could hear each other clearly...

but we didn't feel a thing.

In every way we were complete...

but our love remained incomplete.

You could say, in some ways

Barfi was incomplete...

but his love was complete.

All I know is that She is from Darjeeling.

But what about her parents?

Don't you have any other details?

Mrs. Sengupta?

Yes.

Jhilmil Chatterjee's missing report?

Yes?

Did you report it?

Yes.

Jhilmil went missing three times.

First, she was kidnapped from her home.

The second time

Barfi took her from under our nose!

The next six months

I didn't hear a thing.

l assumed it was the end of the case.

- But, Six months later,

Mr. Chatterjee called me...

- to his house.

- And, why did he call me?

To give me the

Case reopened.

But, even before I couLd get started,

I got a call from Calcutta.

- That a certain Mrs. Sengupta in Calcutta...

had reported Jhilmil missing.

Jhilmil missing in Calcutta...

and ransom note in Darjeeling.

lt made no sense.

Just like a bad detective novel

Now?

What now, sir?

We have to tell the girl's father...

who killed her?

who?

who is in our custody?

Barfi.

He killed Jhilmil.

How could he have killed her...

while he has been in our custody?

You and l know that,

but Mr. Chatterjee doesn't.

No.

FundamentaLly, this is wrong, sir.

Fundamentally, he can

dismiss us from our jobs.

He's very powerfull.

He can take names off school rolls.

l don't go to school, sir.

But your kids do.

If you Lose your job,

how will you pay the fees?

We'll tell Chatterjee that we arrested him

after the girl died.

He is hearing and speech impaired.

He can't argue, simple!

Hello... Mr. Chatterjee...

What are you looking for?

The Lawyer's number.

Why don't you eat something...

- Shruti...

You Lied to me, mom.

Why do you sneak out

to see that man?

It's because you still love him.

Don't you?

Do you really love dad?

- Mr. Chatterjee... don't do this.

- Mr. Chatterjee, listen...

Control yourself... please!

- I request you.

- Get a hold of yourself!

- Barfi! Don't do that.

Hello...

Yes.

Okay Inspector, I'll be there.

Do you really have to go?

Shruti...

Then don't come back.

Thank you, Mrs. Sengupta.

I wasn't sure who to call.

And I didn't think

anybody else would turn up.

- We don't know who murdered Jhilmil.

But when asked,

the cops will say he did it.

I'll find out...

who the real culprit is?

But that could take some time.
