I want my revenge.
Those creatures killed a member of the Cutmundus.
They killed one of my oldest and dearest friends.
I told you before,
I have absolutely nothing to do with those creatures.
Before you continue lying,
here…
Take a look at the lab reports of your miracle drug.
The report clearly states that there is blood mixed into this drug.
A type of blood whose cell structure is very different from human blood.
And the blood has an impossibly low level of haemoglobin.
This blood can only be sourced from one species.
Luna di,
you know that there are millions of people dying of sickle cell disease all over--
Aah! AD, the social worker. Wow!
[laughs]
Tell me, are you making this drug to save people
or to fatten your Swiss bank account?
Uff! My God.
If after saving the lives of millions of people,
a little bit of the profits come into my bank account,
then what's wrong with that?
I'm not here to discuss what's right or wrong.
Okay.
All I know is, the creature that killed Haru so brutally
is the same one who converted a human into one of them.
I want to know who this belongs to.
And whoever it belongs to should not be allowed to live.

Hey, Rumi. Where were you last night?
[roaring]
Uh, here. I was in my cell. Where else?
So you weren't playing Tick Tock with that young dentist of yours?
No, David. I was right here.
[speaking Bengali]
[in English] Then who was that fellow
playing Tick Tock with your dentist friend late last night?
David.
[singing in Bengali]
♪ Forget everything ♪
♪ Hoist your sail ♪
I went to Deep-Hyp him.
After all, he is a human.
He has found out everything about us.
He has seen us.
And Meera assured me
that there is nothing left between the two of you anymore.
How far back have you Deep-Hyped him?
David, has Roy truly forgotten me?
Rumi, when a storm hits,
some trees are bound to fall.
But the roots of the ones that manage to survive
grow that much stronger.
And love…
is something like that.
Roy…
is a good lad.
Just because both of you were hit by a storm,
does that mean you'll leave him? Hmm?
But David. You did a Deep-Hyp on him.
[laughing]
I didn't do anything. I was joking. Come on.
[both chuckling]
Our secret is safe with him.
But David, there is no future.
After what happened to Abdul Hakim…
Rumi, neither are you Abdul Hakim,
nor are you the Rumi you used to be before you came here.
You are a warrior.
Your love is so strong, you'll fight battles for it.
[uplifting music playing]
Hey.
Oh! It's you!
Greetings and salutations. Come in, come in. Sit down, sit down.
You fake Lal Bazaar officer, huh?
Wait, let me get a real police officer to deal with your fake investigation.
What is this?
If a Lake Station officer asked for help with a Shyampukur case, would you do it?
Look…
You've read the report, you know that the burn victim was not a human.
She was something else altogether.
And Haru da's case could tell us what it might be.
Chowdhury sir.
Come on, help me out.
Hmm.
Do you see all these red punctures on his neck?
The killer made a beeline directly for the carotid artery,
and then attacked it repeatedly.
The artery was severed and that cut off the oxygen supply to the brain. That's it.
Could these holes be made by teeth?
I mean, what if someone bit him?
[Chowdhury] When we bite something,
our teeth apply the same amount of pressure on the surface.
So if these were made by teeth,
they were long and sharp canine teeth, probably.
If only we had the head of the dead girl right now.
You would have seen such teeth for yourself.
[AD] Ora!
Where's Ora?
-What happened Adi Babu? -Hey! You're useless!
Where is Ora?
What happened, AD?
I don't want to talk to anyone but Ora! All of you stay back.
Not again, Ora. Don't tell me you're sleeping again!
There is a state between sleeping and waking, AD.
Pay some attention to what's going on here!
And if you can't do that much, I'm going to announce an election
to choose a new leader for your clan today.
Calm down, AD.
This high blood pressure isn't good for you.
After all, you're human.
It's not like you can become one of us.
Not after the oath your ancestors took.
That doesn't mean you can just take anyone and turn them into one of you!
-What do you mean? -What do I mean?
Where is it?
This.
A member of your clan went up there and has murdered a man.
And whoever this tooth belongs to
attacked another human and turned them into one of your kind.
And now God alone knows what havoc this new convert is causing up there!
-No one is causing any havoc. -What?
The newly-converted member is down here with us.
[stutters]
[woman] It's going to hurt, isn't it, Doctor Babu?
No, Mrs. Gupta, it won't be--
Guptoo, not Gupta.
Sorry, "too." It won't hurt at all.
You won't feel anything.
I've given you local anaesthesia, and with this inhalation sedation,
you'll begin to feel the effect soon.
-Just a sec. -Ah.
The thing is, I did singing, Doctor Babu.
[Roy] Hmm.
And when I start singing, oh, the pain. Oh, my God!
Like…
[singing in Bengali]
♪ That night, some more… ♪
More…
[winces] Oh, the pain.
-Oh, my God. -All this pain is temporary.
Here today, gone tomorrow.
The pain that stays is here.
In the heart.
"Aah."
Aah.
Out of all the dentists in the world, why do you have to choose me?
-[machine whirring] -You know that I'm a lousy dentist.
So lousy, that I fainted in front of you. And that too twice.
Huh?
But, fine. Okay.
For some strange, weird, dumb reason, you wanted your tooth fixed by me.
All right. But why get my parents involved?
You tell me. Why?
Why, Mrs. Guptoo?
Why?
You could've just said,
"Doctor, I can't pretend to be a girlfriend of a loser like you."
I would have understood.
But how do I explain it to my parents that their darling daughter-in-law
is not such a darling, after all.
[Rumi] Doc Roy.
Rumi.
I don't want to break up with you.
Don't you think you should have told me before adding a new member to your clan?
I would have, if circumstances allowed me to.
-This happened very suddenly. -[AD] Suddenly?
Do you think I'm stupid?
I had to bring Shah down here before it was too late.
I thought keeping him here was safer for everyone.
Ora…
Be careful. You're overstepping your boundaries.
Who stays here and who doesn't,
these decisions cannot be taken just by you alone.
How old are you, AD?
Sixty to seventy years old?
I've been here for more than 300 years.
And I've been the leader for every moment of that.
If my forefathers hadn't sold those three villages to the Britishers,
then not just you,
but all of Kolkata
would have been under my thumb.
Whether I am 60 years old or 360 years old,
you will do exactly what I say.
Two nights!
That's all you have to find out and tell me
which one of you is going up there and causing so much havoc.
Here.
This is Shah.
Badshah.
Who are you?
Big Daddy.
Whoa, Big Daddy.
You met David yesterday?
Oh.
So that's David.
"Aah."
Aah.
What did he say to you?
He was telling me stories about your human life.
Of course.
He has a habit of telling stories.
It's not as bad as the habit of biting people. Right?
What? Did I say something wrong?
It's hormonal, I told you already. It's…
It's triggered by some kind of emotion.
Hate, anger, love.
It's my primal instinct.
Primal instinct. Like an animal.
Then you shouldn't be in a dentist clinic like this one.
You should be locked up in a cage.
No, no. We are the ones who should be locked up,
so that you can roam freely, without any problems.
Doc…
Please.
[Roy] Look, I know, Rumi.
What happened to you and your human life, which…
It's not good.
It shouldn't have happened.
If I were in your place, maybe…
I would probably hate humans too, but…
To kill everyone because of a few bad people…
That's not right. How's that fair?
When did I ever say that I want to kill everybody?
My past still haunts me, and maybe… Maybe your love can help.
I don't know, Rumi, I…
I don't know.
[Rumi] Hey.
It's worth a shot, Doc Roy.
Can you promise
that you'll never bit anyone again?
Thought as much.
[Rumi] I promise.
I-- I didn't hear you.
I promise.
You do?
So then, what about your primal instinct?
Let me show you.
See.
This is what you do to me.
You better get used to me and my teeth.
[chuckles]
You finish your surgery and I'll see you then.
[both chuckling]
[door closes]
Ooh.
Hey, Rumi. Come on.
I'll drop you home.
I'm good.
Hey, hang on a sec.
Here…
You're back here again? Don't tell me you've patched up.
Why, do you have a problem with that?
No… [clears throat]
You're the one who said you guys had some issues, so--
Yeah, we did. Now we don't.
Look, Rumi,
stay away from this man.
Let me decide which man I need to stay away from.
Look, you don't understand.
The kind of girls he's been hanging around with,
they're not human.
-And he's some kind of hybrid-- -Sub-Inspector Kartik Pal.
This isn't one of your cases.
It's my life.
One minute.
And the thing that happened between us?
What case was that?
That was nothing.
What do you mean?
I mean, I broke up with someone, I was upset,
we got drunk, and that's it.
That's it, huh?
The two of us had sex, Rumi.
Did we?
Are you sure?
Because you weren't very sure that night.
Kartik…
Let me tell you what my friend Nikhil told me many, many years ago.
Think of that night as a mistake.
And forget it.
Hmm?
And please.
Move on.
[Luna] Kartik, one minute.
I hope you didn't mind me calling you by your name.
You'll always be Biren da's son to me
before being a sub-inspector.
You know,
if I had a son of my own…
He would've probably been about your age.
You've come to ask questions about Haru.
I saw the bite marks on his neck.
You've already seen everything, Kartik.
It's time for you to put this uniform to good use
and give me the help I need
to save this city.
My father made the same mistake.
Times have changed, Kartik.
Don't stay trapped in the past,
because you and your father are very different.
A few nights ago, a girl came to see you at your house.
Who is she?
A friend. Why?
Before he was murdered,
Haru was following that very same girl that night.
Luna di…
[Luna] He was following her and that dentist Roy.
What?
Haru's dead body was found in a lane not far from the dentist's house.
[speaking Chinese]
[in English] Sacrificing one member in order for us to save the whole family
is not a crime.
I don't know who it is that you're trying to protect
but I do know that whatever is going on,
you both are well aware of it.
But Ora--
Whichever member did this,
we have to hand them over to AD.
You lied to both of us?
No.
We know every single detail.
What do you know?
That I killed one of Sreela's murderers
and the other one is still alive?
You killed a Cutmundu?
Yes.
That man was with Luna Luka in Roy's chamber that night.
But Rumi, you cannot go up there and murder humans like this.
Your recklessness will have serious consequences.
AD already knows about the murder.
Does Ora know who the killer is?
All he knows is that we know.
And it's getting very difficult for us, Rumi.
To protect me?
But I am not done, Meera.
I'm not going to rest until I kill Luna Luka.
Luna Luka?
[scoffs]
She is not like the other Cutmundus, darling.
-She'll rip through you like a fire-- -Let her.
Because I don't intend on being devoured by her flames.
Her obsession has grown with time.
And what about our powers?
[scoffs]
Aren't they of any use?
It's been years since we've used any of our powers.
Our swords, lying unused in their sheaths,
are covered in rust.
And maybe new members like you don't even possess these… powers.
So that is done. Just get the lock fixed as well.
Doctor, he comes in the morning, and then, after ten o'clock at night.
Oh. He's back again.
So, Doc.
What are you both chit-chatting about behind closed doors?
Well,
we were talking about that very door.
That when it's kept unlocked, anybody walks in.
[chuckles]
If you've come here drunk to bully me again, then…
You'll call the police?
Call them.
-Doctor. -Hmm?
What should I do?
Hey, first of all, you need to stop calling him Doctor. Huh?
And please, step out for a minute.
I have an appointment with Mr. Toothpaste here.
She is funny, huh?
So, Mr. Dental Hygiene.
You have two options in front of you.
[sighs]
Either you tell Rumi everything.
About yourself, about your ex-girlfriend.
How she was murdered here.
And let her decide if she loves you or not.
Or I could just arrest you.
Arrest? On what basis?
On the basis that your ex-girlfriend attacked a man and converted him.
Poor Badshah.
And then you murdered that poor old librarian.
Mur-- Murder? Me?
-I murdered someone? -Yes, you.
Only a monster could have killed Haru da with such brutality.
And I know only one monster in this entire city.
You.
Hey. Toothpaste. Hello. [snapping fingers]
Can you hear me? Or should I take you to an ENT?
No. I heard you.
-And I can see the whole picture, too. -Right.
Look, my whole team is waiting outside.
No, no, I-- I mean…
I'll tell Rumi everything.
Bravo, my boy!
[chuckles]
And anyway she's not very sure about you.
Right, and you know everything.
She came home to have a drink. She didn't tell you?
We drank a lot of booze, we talked a lot.
Had a lot of sex.
Wanna extract some teeth?
Come on.
You're making it up.
Ask her yourself.
She loves you, right?
She'll be honest with you.
[chuckles]
[Mamata] Here.
What's wrong?
No, nothing.
If you lie to your wife first thing in the morning,
your tea is going to taste bitter.
No, I was just thinking…
After I'm gone,
who'll take care of these responsibilities?
Mithu, of course.
She's the one you're grooming, right?
Just by buying an MBA degree, one doesn't learn how to run a business.
And… [sighs]
On top of that, she's a girl.
Come on. Is our Mithu less than any man?
Certain aspects of my work are…
very, very dangerous, you know.
Dangerous, meaning?
Baba!
[squeals excitedly] God!
Mwah.
You know, I'm seeing you after a century!
Yes. Well, it's been a century since you decided to wake up before twelve o'clock.
Mmm-hmm!
Mithu.
Did you meet my friend's son?
Who?
The dentist. The Roy family.
Oh, yeah.
I did meet him. Yeah.
And?
I do not understand.
What's the tearing hurry to get me married?
-[Mithila] Mom-- -Sweetheart, he wants a man in the house.
So that after he's gone,
someone can handle all his dangerous work.
[Mithali] Gone?
-Dad, are you going somewhere? -Yes, I am.
I'm going to meet Dentu and I'm taking you with me.
I haven't met them in ages.
And please don't wear these tiny little shorts.
You wanted to see me, sir?
Oh. Kartik babu. Sit down.
Before we talk, do we need a breathalyzer test done?
Which cases are you working on now?
One is Badshah's and the other one is that librarian's, that--
Badshah? Now what's happened to him?
-He's disappeared. -Disappeared?
-Since when? -A few days ago.
And who's behind it? Did you find out anything?
It's a bit complicated.
Really? How complicated is it? Tell me.
I had gone to see him at the hospital a few days ago.
[growling]
He is very sick, sir.
He is sick? What kind of sickness?
It's like he's not human.
[snarling]
I don't know, sir, his eyes had turned red,
his teeth had grown long and he suddenly attacked me.
-Oh, he attacked you? -Uh-huh.
Then?
Then a man or maybe an animal--
-[growling] -Came out of this smoke
and leapt towards him.
Wow.
Very nice.
Then what happened?
Then I passed out, sir.
Oh, you mean then you came to your senses?
Huh?
You don't have blood. You have rum running in your veins.
And you're not living in Kolkata,
but in a B-grade movie running through that intoxicated brain of yours.
But sir, I saw it with my--
I asked you to see me because I received a call
from the Kalyani Genome Lab.
I was told I had requested a genome test
for that case in Shyampukur.
Kundu made some enquiries and found out
that you had put in that request posing as OC Dutta.
Sir, they've come back again, sir.
They? Who do you mean by "they"?
You mean, your father's friends?
Yes, sir.
They've come back again?
Yes, sir. They turned Badshah into one of their kind
and Haru da was also murdered by one of them, sir.
Kartik, I was wrong.
This isn't the rum talking.
But hereditary lunacy.
And you shouldn't be in a police station,
but in a bloody mental asylum.
You and your baba, both!
Sub-Inspector Kartik Pal,
I hereby suspend you with immediate effect!
-But, sir, at least-- -Shut up!
[Judhajit] Get out!
[sighs]
Few days back, you promised me that you would never bite anyone again,
-and then you went and killed an old man. -No.
That's not quite true.
Okay, so you're saying that you weren't the one
-who murdered the old librarian? -Of course I murdered him.
-Then? -With my teeth.
That's funny, right? "With my teeth."
Well, technically, one tooth is Sreela's, so--
Rumi, I'm serious.
Okay. Doc Roy.
There is a chronology issue.
Look, first I murdered the old librarian, and then I made you that promise.
So, technically, I'm good.
Technically, you're good?
He was responsible for Sreela's murder.
So go and report it to the police. Get him arrested.
Arrested for what?
For killing a girl who died in the 1960s?
And anyway, who even told you all this?
The same guy with whom you were that night?
The one you were drinking with, who you were chatting with.
The one who you had sex with.
What?
-Chronology issue? -Exactly.
Oh--
Look, the night before that, we had a fight.
Wow, so every time we have a fight, you're gonna go
-and hook up with someone else? -Really?
You were running away from me. You called me a monster, remember that?
Uh--
I really thought it was over.
And I just went to his house to get some information about Sreela's killers
but I ended up getting…
But technically, it wasn't really sex.
Rumi, your technicalities are too complicated for me.
He… He couldn't rise to the occasion.
You know what I'm saying?
Sub-Inspector Kartik couldn't--
Yeah, he was just trying to rile you up.
Rumi, come on.
Seriously?
-But he really likes you so-- -And I love you.
When will you realize that, Doc Roy?
Just in case my fangs come out,
don't be afraid.
They'll just watch us.
Watch us do what?
[romantic music playing]
[thunder rumbling]
I was the one who told Dadu to contact all of you.
I wanted the Cutmundus back together again.
If I had not done that, maybe Dadu would have been alive today.
What is meant to happen, Naru, will happen anyway.
Like how my parents died?
And now Dadu.
My whole family.
From today, the Cutmundus is your home,
and all of us are now your family.
This anger churning inside you,
hold it down and keep it aside for now.
And when the time is right,
you will be able to release that rage.
Release it like a tidal wave
on the creature who killed your grandfather.
Pack up all your belongings and bring them here.
From today, you'll stay here.
And from tomorrow, I'm going to begin training you.
I'll teach you everything that is essential for your journey ahead.
You can come closer. I won't bite.
Uh-- [laughs]
Yeah, yeah, don't worry. She doesn't feel anything for you.
No love, no anger, no passion, so, you're safe.
Exactly.
If Ian Zachariah could still rouse fiery passion
in the hearts of beautiful girls,
there would be trouble.
[chuckles] Rumi,
I would love to die in your beautiful arms.
Well, "A Baghdadi Jew dies
in the arms of a beautiful Kolkata Dracula."
-[chuckles] -A divine death.
You are so cool.
If I had met more people like you earlier,
then maybe…
maybe I'd still be a human.
You should've met me in my 20s.
I was called Beniapukur's Brando by everyone.
[both laughing]
Ian,
will you come as my dad to meet Roy's parents?
When do you want to meet them?
What do you mean by that?
The last time you met my Baba, at the clinic,
you only had one son, remember?
Australian resident. So… How come you suddenly have a daughter?
I'll change my appearance when I go with her.
-Oh… -My magic trunk.
I'll return to my theater makeup box.
Theater?
This…
-Isn't that that superstar? -Yes.
That's him.
Really?
In the 1960s,
the English theater scene was very active in Calcutta.
And our group was called The Amateurs.
This picture is taken on the sets of Death of a Salesman.
Wow.
She looks really familiar.
[Ian] Luna Iyer.
She played Desdemona.
You've probably seen her on television.
Luna Luka the Witch.
Or the "Wiccan teacher" or whichever name she goes by now.
What else do you know about her, Ian?
Luna never acted from her heart, you see.
She joined the group because
she had set her heart on Rama Reddiyar.
The two of them had a flaming hot love affair.
And then Rama disappeared.
And soon thereafter,
Luna too left the group.
Do you have any more pictures of them?
Of Luna and Rama?
In this one you can hardly make out what he actually looks like.
To play Othello, an actor has to blacken his face, right?
I'll take a look in the attic, bound to be more photographs up there.
Thank you.
