'Second promise.'
'You shall belong to me in every lifetime.'
'Only...'
'Mine!'
[music playing]
Inspector, we scoured the mansion. There's no sign of Ayaan.
There's no sign of Gopal either.
Meera called me and said
that Ayaan went after Gopal as soon as they found Koyal.
After that, no one saw Ayaan.
I've lost my wife.
I can't lose my son.
Don't worry, Mr. Choudhury.
The police are trying their best.
We'll find your son soon.
Thank you.
Brother!
Take Koyal and the women in the family to a hotel.
Kaustubh, Pablo, Bipin and I will stay here and help the police.
Okay?
Mom! Mom, until Gopal isn't found, it isn't safe for you to stay here.
- If you could go to a hotel with... - I'm not going anywhere!
[Bengali] Mom, please! Why don't you understand?
- Let the police do their job. - The police can't help us, Arnab!
But there is someone
who can.
[music playing]
[sobbing]
Ishu!
- Ishu! - Ishu!
- [sobbing] - Ishu! Ishu...
Don't cry, Ishu.
- [sobbing] - Ishu!
- I'm fine. - Ishu!
- I'm absolutely fine. - Ishu!
Sit down, come on.
Ishu! Everything's fine, okay?
Come here, Ishu. Everything's fine.
- Mother Meera is with you, right? - [sobbing]
Why are you crying? Everything's fine.
- Ishu! - [sobbing]
Open your eyes, Ishu.
Open your eyes.
Look at me. Open your eyes.
'What's the point of shedding tears?'
'Tell me what's the use of crying.'
'If there is a problem or you face betrayal,'
'smile when you get a chance to cry.'
'No matter how tall the walls of sadness are,'
'see them as windows to a world of laughter.'
'Laughter is the best rule to live life by.'
'Then what's the point of shedding tears?'
- Ishu... - [sniffling]
Will you come with me?
Come on, get up.
- [sobbing] - Come on.
- Good girl. - [sniffling]
Come on.
[sentimental music playing]
Yes, good girl.
[Ishani sniffling]
Stop crying, hmm?
Don't cry.
Oi, Ms. Crybaby.
Didn't I teach you to count the reasons to be happy?
So, tell me what are the three reasons to be happy.
Me!
You and Dad.
Good.
All three of us are here.
Then why are you crying?
Come on, smile.
Ishu, there's no issue.
Don't worry about Dad.
When that huge elephant can recover, Dad can too!
Huge elephant?
Yes! The huge elephant that met with an accident.
And you know, it recovered in a day.
- Ask me how. - How?
Its friend the ant donated blood to it.
[both laugh]
[sentimental vocalisation]
And most importantly,
the Goddess is with you.
She's here.
Good.
- She won't let anything untoward happen. - Hmm.
Come on. Go to sleep now.
By the time you wake up, Dad will recover completely.
Why?
Is the ant going to donate blood to him?
[both laugh]
Come on. Close your eyes, yes.
- Now, go to sleep. - Hmm.
Hmm.
[vocalisation fades out]
[birds chirping]
[sighs]
Tell me what happened there.
Is everything all right?
Did you find the assistant?
- Is everything all right with that family? - I don't know!
But I know that nothing is right in our family.
Your wound scared Ishani.
I don't know whether to sit with you or console her.
Should I bandage your wound or wipe her tears?
What do I do? I'm confused. And you...
You're worried about that family.
Why, Dad?
Your head was bleeding.
You didn't let me stay with you.
You told me to go to the Choudhurys and help them!
Why, Dad? Why?
Why not?
I'd say the same thing to your mother.
"Why help others?"
And she'd say to me, "Why not?"
She used to say, "Although it is we who help people,"
"the Goddess makes us do it."
God is believed to reside in the hands of those who help others.
Not helping someone who is in dire need means...
Disobeying the Goddess's orders.
Then tell me.
What did I do wrong by helping Mrs. Choudhury's family?
Mom hadn't done anything wrong either.
She'd help the villagers.
And what did they do?
They killed my mother!
Neither were the villagers deserving of my mother's help
nor are the Choudhurys deserving of your help, Dad!
[sobbing] Dad!
Life is really hard.
We can barely overcome our problems.
Why must we take on the problems of others too?
I don't want to live in this village, Dad.
I'll save money by any means.
Then we'll never return to this village
or the ungrateful people that live here.
[poignant music playing]
'You talk to those of your own class.'
'I'm a 'zamindar'.'
'Whereas you are the daughter of an ordinary servant.'
'The land doesn't talk to the sky.'
'Get out!'
What did we gain by helping them, Dad?
Mom lost her life.
I've lost my dignity.
Did Ayaan say something?
Yes!
He told me to get out of the mansion.
It wasn't Ayaan who said that, but someone else.
[tense music playing]
[music peaks and fades out]
Meera, not only is Goddess Saraswati believed to reside on our tongues,
but the devil is too!
That was Ayaan's voice,
but the words were Dakini's.
Ayaan was under Dakini's spell at the time.
[unsettling music playing]
And now,
only this family can help him.
Do you see Dad's condition?
He bled for your family's sake! Must he pay with his life?
Look.
I'm really sorry.
My dad can't help you.
- He cannot! - I'm not even asking him for help.
Then whose help are you asking for?
Yours.
[solemn music playing]
Only you can help Ayaan now.
[music playing]
[spluttering] Me?
How can I help him?
Just the way your mother would.
My mother is dead.
But her strength, faith and courage live on in you, Meera.
Your mother saved Ayaan years ago.
Now, you will.
You...
Do you know my mother?
[nostalgic vocalisation]
[ominous music stings]
[unsettling music stings]
[Dakini grunting]
- 'Ayaan! - Ayaan...'
- 'Ayaan! - Ayaan!'
'Ayaan!'
[tense music playing]
[music intensifies]
[music fades out]
[dreadful music stings]
[disconcerting music playing]
[eerie vocalisation]
[unsettling music playing]
'This...'
'These are Dakini's marks!'
[eerie vocalisation]
'This means Dakini's hold on Ayaan'
'is getting stronger.'
'You can't run now.'
[tense music playing]
'Those who can't run'
'have no choice but to fight.'
[intense music playing]
[music fades out]
Your mother took on Dakini for Ayaan and...
[solemn music playing]
Dakini has returned to conclude her incomplete story.
If she succeeds in giving Ayaan all the marks on his neck,
then he will never be able to leave Rajbari.
He will belong to Dakini forever.
[dramatic music playing]
[music fades out]
I'd lay down my life for you, ma'am.
I will do anything you want.
I'll come with you.
Please keep my daughter away from Dakini.
Dad!
You're not going anywhere, Dad!
You're not going anywhere, Dad! Please!
Dad!
Don't do this. Don't go! Please, Dad!
Please! This...
What's all this?
Dad!
Dad, please!
Dad! Please...
Hear me out! Dad, please!
Suppose Mrs. Choudhury is right, how will you face Dakini alone?
I won't be alone.
Your mother will be with me.
Dad!
Dad! Please don't go, Dad!
Dad! No! Dad!
Dad!
[thumping]
Dad, please don't leave! Dad!
Dad...
[music peaks and fades out]
[music playing]
[nostalgic music playing]
[music fades out]
Ma'am, we can't defeat Dakini,
but we can weaken her powers for a while
to let Ayaan escape from her clutches.
What do I need to do?
Sprinkle this holy water
and circumambulate the mansion seven times.
This will strengthen all the divine forces in the mansion's vicinity.
And what will you do?
This mansion has eleven rooms, ma'am.
No, ten rooms!
Ten rooms belong to your family, ma'am.
The eleventh room is Dakini's.
[thunder rumbling]
[ghoulish laughter]
Only the one Dakini wants will be able to see it.
Ayaan must be in that room.
Don't waste any time.
[conch blowing]
"Hail Lord Shiva..."
[Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra playing]
[mouthing mantras]
[revelatory music playing]
[music fades out]
[solemn music playing]
[door creaks open]
'For now, this locket will protect Ayaan.'
[disconcerting music playing]
- 'Mom! - Hmm?'
'Why are you giving him the locket?'
'I'm your daughter. Put the chain around my neck.'
'No problem. You can have my locket.'
'No, Ayaan.'
'My quarrelsome daughter!'
'This locket belongs to Ayaan.'
[light-hearted music playing]
'Look! This locket is yours.'
[nostalgic music playing]
I know how to help Dad.

Where is Dad?
[tense music stings]
[mouthing mantras]
[Dakini grunting]
- [electricity crackling] - [Dakini screaming]
[screaming]
[Dakini screaming]
[mouthing mantras]
[door creaks shut]
- [gasps] - Dad!
Ayaan!
Dad!
[Dakini grunting]
Dad!
[Dakini screaming]
[Dakini grunting]
Dad!
Debashish!
[suspenseful music playing]
[soft eerie music playing]
- Ayaan! - Dad!
[loud banging]
[Dakini laughing]
[suspenseful music playing]
[Dakini laughing]
[Dakini grunting]
[Dakini laughing]
[sinister laughter continues]
[Dakini grunting]
Dad!
Ayaan!
[loud banging on door]
[screaming]
Dad!
[glass shattering]
[glass clanking]
[loud thud]
Dad!
[indistinct whispering]
[whispering fades]
[mouthing words]
Dad!
