Karagar

After a long time...

...my body felt heavy this morning.

I couldn't move my body when I woke up.

I thought my prayers have been answered.

It's time for my salvation.

I felt happy.

Started saying my final prayers.

Finished my prayers in a breath...

for I thought my time's up.

I don't have to hang any more convicts.

Then who will be the chief hangman, boss?

I asked God...

I've killed 30 people outside.

And here...

I've hanged 32 prisoners.

How many more to go for my 120-year sentence to end?

How many more do I have to hang?

It's a simple calculation.

But my calculations don't match theirs.

So I said my prayers and accepted everything.

Jalal, keep this under my pillow.

Where is the wax?

Grease the rope with wax.

Why do we grease the noose?

Why?

If it's not butter-smooth

it can cut deep through the skin.

The head might even get severed.

Why make him suffer so much when he's going to die anyway?

Make the noose and grease it.

Whoever makes the best noose, will become the chief hangman.

-How many more years for you? -Four more years.

Oh.

-So, 10 more hangings. -Hmm.

Once I'm out, I can have a feast at my wife's second wedding.

Do you sense a bad omen, boss?

A storm is brewing.

CELL 145 PART 1

MOSTAK AHMED JAILER

Who's supposed to keep track of entries and exits?

How can a woman enter the prison quarters at night?

First, a prisoner breaks out.

Now, a woman gets in.

What are you here for?

You mess up

and I have to bear the brunt of it.

Sorry, sir.

I don't want an apology.

What am I supposed to tell the authorities?

Do you have any idea what the reporters are saying?

Hmm?

Mostak.

Are we running a hotel here?

Are you the receptionist? Am I the manager?

Huh?

Why are you quiet?

Am I running a brothel?

Three hundred and twenty-six.

You f**ked up the counting. Do it again.

-Hey. -Sir.

Where are you off to?

AKASHNAGAR CENTRAL JAIL

-Who is he? -He joined today, sir.

We missed the eventing count in all this confusion.

Haven't I told you?

Don't talk to me with betel leaf in your mouth.

Spit it out!

AKASHNAGAR CENTRAL JAIL

You can't keep quiet.

Sir--

If you can't handle the pressure, let me know.

I'll have you posted in the hills.

Go to the hills.

I hope the greenery will help you concentrate on your work.

Hmm?

-Ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen... -Hey, move.

Sit up!

-...sixteen... -How many times will you count?

Sit straight.

-Do we have a new scapegoat? -Hey!

...that's 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35...

Don't look at me like that.

I'll lose my heart.

Get back to your place.

-Yes, love. -Don't you dare!

...thirty-six.

I came to know from the papers and social media.

If that's how it's going to be, then I should quit.

I'll appoint a newspaper editor as the IG instead.

Should I?

Hey!

One hundred and twenty-four...

One hundred and twenty-five...

How did the prison's CCTV footage

get leaked?

HUMAYUN KABIR

Mostak, who's the mole?

One hundred and forty-two...

Who did she want to meet?

-A prisoner or... -No, sir.

Then?

I want a report on it.

Who let her in? Why was she here?

Who leaked the footage and how?

Who all are involved?

Everything. All details.

Yes, sir.

You have two days.

Sir...

Okay, seven days.

MATRICHAYA

Two hundred and sixty-two...

Two hundred and sixty-three...

Two hundred and sixty-four...

Two hundred and sixty-five...

No need to see me off.

I'm watching you.

He wants a report.

Who should I blame? Tell me?

I've told you not to do anything without informing me.

How long will you keep this up, huh?

Shut down all the syndicates right now.

I don't care who it is. No more illegal business here!

Not even cigarettes. Why only cigarettes?

Even an ant shouldn't get in without my permission.

Am I clear or do I have to repeat myself?

Why are you all still standing here? Get to work!

Go!

Khayer.

Sir.

Who leaked the footage?

Find out.

Please look into it. I don't want any more trouble.

And...

I'll take care of the report.

Sir.

How many?

He has counted one extra prisoner.

Three hundred and twenty-six.

He must have counted himself too. Send him again.

See for yourself if you don't believe me.

I don't need to.

I can tell you the exact count even with my eyes shut.

There are 325 inmates. Bet on it?

What will we get if he loses the bet?

-Biryani. -Biryani.

Deal?

Promise to treat us all.

Come on. I'll count.

Come on.

Did you lose the key again?

Left it in the office.

I'm planning to bake a cake.

Like a home-made cake.

I've learnt it from the internet.

I've bought all the ingredients too.
