What happened? Been punished?

What is this?

This is a flying swan.

I see, that's a flying swan.

Yes.

It looks more like a dead duck to me.

Okay, see you.

No, dear. There was no

Arnab Bagchi that year.

Why can't I access

Milan Damji's record?

Its showing me Restricted each time.

Madam, I will need Mr.

Tyagi's permission to unlock it

Where is Tyagi?

He's on leave today.

Coming, mother.

Hello.

Agnes.

Yes.

Hi.

Can you meet me tomorrow?

Of course.

At 3 o'clock.

Where?

There's a restaurant at Park Street.

Mocambo.

Mocambo.

See you.

Take care.

Bye.

Bishnu.

Bishnu!

Coming Didi..

Watch it.

Move aside.

Here you go.

Radio?

Kalighat.

Just a minute.

Rana. Call from the airport.

Hello.

Better explain to that Bidya Bagchi.

Yes, yes, yes.

That Arnab or whoever..

..got her pregnant and ran away.

These things keep happening.

Hello?

Tell her not to waste time here in

this condition and return to London.

Oh, so you checked?

I have been thinking about

it for the past 30 years.

But he ran away in 2.

Sorry, can you say it again please.

Would you like a cup of tea, sir?

No, its fine. Thank you.

Hi.

Mr. Das.

Good morning, madam.

Good afternoon, Mr. Das.

Whatever you say, madam.

Good afternoon, Rana.

Good afternoon.

Radio.

Are you going anywhere?

To meet Agnes.

I will drop you there.

I won't need your

chariot today, Satyoki.

My taxi is waiting.

Okay.

Mrs. Bagchi, we checked..

..with Kolkata and

London's immigration departments.

The date that you told us..

..no Arnab Bagchi left from London..

..or arrived in Kolkata.

Then surely there's a

mistake in the system.

We double-checked it.

Triple-checked it.

The facts are correct.

Yesterday after you left I

took a close look at the photo.

And you know what.

Your husband looks exactly like..

..an ex-employee of ours.

Milan Damji.

Who?

Milan Damji.

He left 2 years ago..

He was a funny one.

He would keep to himself.

He joined suddenly

and even left suddenly.

His blood group was funny as well.

Bombay blood group.

I clearly remember the

day he left the company.

A lot of people came looking for him.

But he vanished!

Poof.

But what is the connection with Arnab?

Two years ago he was in London.

Milan Damji looks exactly like Arnab.

That's why yesterday I tried..

..to get his photo from the computer.

But it would always

show me the same message..

..Restricted.

Restricted. Restricted.

God knows how to

operate these computers!

Tomorrow when Tyagi returns..

Tyagi?

Tyagi here.

Who wants Milan Damji's records?

If I can't access the computer..

..there are some employee

records are in the old office.

Maybe there's a photo in that.
