Private Detective: Two Plus Two Plus One Page #3

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.

This much

Listen...

but I'm afraid...

I don't want to lose you

"You will forgive me, won't you?

- I don't know"

"First tell me.

- Okay, I'm not telling you"

"Oh come on, tell me"

Okay...

I'm having an affair.

- Who is it?

I've been seeing him for three months.

- You're kidding

"No, really.

- Really?"

And Raj?

- He is unaware

When he finds out?

- What?

"What will you do then?

You love him, don't you?"

"Meghna, someone

caught us on camera"

He's following me

He's trying to blackmail me.

- What are you going to do?

You tell me.

His wife mustn't find out

"Wife...?

- Yes, wife"

It's a sin.

Why didn't you tell me before?

"Come on, I'm dying and you're

preaching me about good and evil"

What kind of a friend are you?

- You mustn't do this

Just drop him.

- I tried...

but it's impossible

You're a goner

What are you going to do?

I'll keep filling the blackmailer's

stomach until he disappears

And Raj?

"This is not right, my child"

Don't weep

"Look, he is here to take you back"

Go... go home

What am I supposed to do now?

Tell me

I did as you told me and sent my truck

down the ravine. I stand ruined now

It's been a year now and I'm yet

to get the insurance amount

"Had the claim been settled then,

I'd have got 3,10,000"

"At the rate of 15 percent, I'd have

earned an interest of 40,500 on it"

If only I had

refused your suggestion!

"The truck was earning me

about 22,000 every year"

"Colonel, I hope you understand me"

"Ms. Amrita, please.

- Colonel, listen to me... "

Shut up!

Where's she?

"No, I'll call back"

"Colonel, I want your advice"

After the claim is passed...

I'll set my storehouse on fire

and claim the insurance

"What's your opinion?

- After that, insure your wife... "

and then kill her.

- You're joking

I don't have time to joke.

You may leave now

But Colonel...

- Go away

How rude

"In my profession,

danger lurks at every step"

And the greatest danger...

coincidentally...

is deep sleep.

You never know when

The silence of the night

won't let me sleep

"Those who are scared

of silence, panic"

Confused...

they run helter-skelter

"But, no good"

Put one more

Excuse me

Here you are

"Whether I live or die,

how does it bother you?"

It's for your safety

"I told you, I can be of help

in some other ways"

Why should I believe you?

To fleece me of money...

you are trying to mislead me

Truth earns me money.

- Why not give me the entire truth?

I'll come on Tuesday

to pick you up. Be ready

How can I organize such a big amount

at such a short notice?

How?

- Why didn't you tell me before...

as soon as you found out?

- Nothing's wrong as yet

Which means you too

are part of the conspiracy
