Sir...

Take me to the hospital...

Please don't leave me here.

THE CAPITAL

BLUFF MASTER
DIRECTED BY ASHFAQUE NIPUN

Yesterday I had a party
at a friend's place.

In fact, Afnan and I went together.

By the way, I don't see Afnan.
Where is he?

He's here.
Continue.

Yes, so we had a party.

We were having fun there.

And after that, Afnan dropped me home
around midnight.

What time did you leave the party?

At 11 p.m.

It took an hour?

Did you stop anywhere on the way?

No.

You reached home exactly at midnight?
How are you so sure?

Because it was
my younger brother's birthday.

And that's why I reached home
at exactly midnight.

So when the accident happened at 11:30 p.m.
you were together?

What accident?
There was no accident.

There was an accident in Rahmatganj
at 11:30 p.m.

And Afnan Chowdhury was arrested
on the spot.

And you say nothing happened?

Exactly. Nothing happened.

And that's why I don't have any clue...

why Afnan was arrested.
He was with me.

You're sure you were together at 11:30 p.m.
and there was no accident?

Yes, I'm sure.

I think you're lying.

Why would I lie?

You are lying.

No, I'm not.

How are you so sure?

Because in the car...

we had a fight.

And after that...

we f♪♪ked.

That was exactly at the time
you're talking about.

You can leave
after giving your statement.

Done?

Thank you so much.

Ma'am, can I get a selfie with you?

Yes, sure.

My wife is a big fan of yours.

Oh, what's her name?

Selina.

Thank you.

Can you tell me
where Afnan Chowdhury is?

Yes. Come with me.

Hello, Afnan.

You here?

Just dropped by.

Why didn't you take my calls, baby?

What are you doing here?

Come on, I came to see you.

You're in trouble.
How could I not?

All the news channels
are talking about you.

And you can leave me half-way...

but I can't.

I hope you're not in pain.

They didn't hurt you, did they?

Hey!

Didn't I tell you this is over?

And don't come near me.

Or what?

What will you do?

k*ll me?

You know I'll do that.

It's not yet over, baby.

Right now, it's screwed.

You're grounded.

Only I can save you from this hell.

If I say you were with me
when the accident happened...

only then you can get away from this.

So, behave.

I'm your only hope.

Do you know
how much I worry about you?

When all this is over...

we'll get engaged.

Okay?

Now...

kiss me.

What?

I said, kiss me.

That's your punishment.

Mom, you're calling at this time?

I heard that Afnan got arrested?

Who gives you these stories?

It's on the news.
Why didn't you tell us?

He wasn't arrested, Mom.

He went there himself
to talk about something.

And news channels show anything.

Apparently that girl is there too.

That actress.

Were they together?

Are things okay between you both?

Excuse me.

Will you record my statement here?

Yes, please sit.

Hello?

Hello.

Who's that?

Adnan Al Rajeev.

You said you'd be back
but you never came, Priyanka.

Aren't you interested in working anymore?

No, no, no. Please.
I don't want to talk about this.

Talk to my manager about it.

Why manager, baby?

Disgusting.

Excuse me.

How long will this take?

Sir is out.

He'll record your statement
when he's back.

Okay.

Ma'am.

I saw your last film.
I really liked it.

I watched it twice.

Thank you.

You're an actress, no?

Talking to me?

Yes.

I've seen.

Fine acting!

First time?

Where's the SI?

How long will madam wait?
Tell him to hurry up!

Keep shut!

Excuse me.

I need to use the washroom.
Which way is it?

To the right of this room.

Okay, I'll take you.

Thank you.

M-Madam...

What's your story?

What else do you want to know?

I've been telling you
not to hide anything.

But that's what you did.

My job is such
that no one wants to trust me.

What's the matter?

You said you left the party alone.

That you were alone in the car.

But ma'am says she was with you.
What's the truth?

- What do you think?
- It doesn’t matter what I think.

I need to know the truth.
The facts.

And I'll move accordingly.

If you were alone,
I'll make the car disappear.

But what if this woman
is telling the truth?

Cars can be made to disappear,
not people.

She was with me.

She was.

So why did you hide it?

I've to plan from the beginning again.

Isn't it natural?

What would you do
if you were in my place?

Wouldn't you keep your wife
away from everything?

Is this your wife?

She's your wife?
Or is she...

Anyway.

From now on,
you won't hide anything from me.

You'll give me facts.

And I'll see how to use the facts
in your favour.

I have to consider many things.

Afnan.

The Six Vices.

Out of these six vices...

you can control all but one.

If you want.

If you decide not to lie anymore,
don't lie.

If you decide not to be greedy,
don't be.

If you decide not to get angry,
don't get angry.

But lust...

This is unpredictable.

Terrifying.

All-consuming.

Not easy.

It's very difficult.

See if you can throw away lust like this.

Very tough.

No one in the world is brave enough...

to claim he can resist it.

Tough.

It's best to stay away.

One orange juice, please.

[indistinct chatter)

Single malt. No ice.

Thank you.

Can I offer you a drink?

No, thanks.

I don't drink.

Come on, I insist.

This is my party.

One drink.

I can't take the smell.

It'll be light.
Trust me.

You'll like it.

Okay.

A single peg vodka
with lime juice.

Uh, nice party.

Hello.

Afnan.

Zara.

Can I say something?

Sure.

You deserve better.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Rezwan is...

And look at you!

I wonder why we didn't meet before.

Hello.

You're still awake?

What's up?

Just some office work.

Office work?
What work?

Rashid asked me
to make a presentation.

That's what I'm doing.

Uff! Rashid.

Thank God I'm not on his team.

Why are you awake?
Go to sleep.

Abir, the last time I called,
you said the same thing.

And you're still telling me to go to bed.

Why? Don't you like talking to me?

We have office tomorrow.
That's why I said.

You have office too.

But I'm not saying anything.

Truth is...

you don't like talking to me.

It's not that.

Excuse me.

I thought I heard a woman's voice.

Uh...

I'm watching videos.

Didn't you say
you're making a presentation?

Um, excuse me.

Yes?

Abir, where are you?

I'm sorry to bother you...

I'm at home.

Our phones are similar...

You could've said you're busy.

And my battery is dying.

I wouldn't have called you.

Do you have a power bank or charger?
I can't find one nearby.

I'm hanging up. Have fun.
Bye.

Rumana, listen...

Actually I'm...

I'm so sorry, again.

I was saying that
my phone's battery is dead.

So, do you have a power bank or charger?

No.

Well then, can I use your phone?

I have to call my lawyer.
It's very urgent.

Thank you.

Oh, your password, please.

Thank you.

Where are you?

Do you have any freaking idea
what's happening here?

Yes, sir.

What is this, Shahana?

This has become breaking news on TV.
What are you doing?

How much longer do you need?
What's the update? I want it soon.

Sir, no journalists
have been allowed inside.

They're outside.
Their news is make-belief.

People's perception is changing
by the minute, Shahana.

What is this?
Do something.

I'll look into it, sir.

We need some concrete evidence.
We're working towards it.

What? Evidence for what?

It's a clean case of accident.
That's what Harun said.

And did you call some celebrity
to the police station?

I don't get it, Shahana.
What are you trying to do?

- Ma'am!
- Next question, please.

How was your meeting?

I'm really impressed to have
such a powerful lady in our police force.

It was great to see her.

I'm really hopeful.

- Ma'am, when are you getting married?
- You'll know when it's time.

Excuse me.

- Ma'am...
- Ma'am...

Okay.

The car is downstairs.

Oh.

It's here?

Ah.

Yeah, Rafiq.

There's a car downstairs.
It has a parcel for me.

Bring it to my room.

Happy now?

I never worry about these things.

Listen.

Remember two things.

Criminal...

and money...

If you're destined for it,
it'll come on it's own to you.

- May I come in, sir?
- It's true.

Yes, come in.

Keep it here.

- Go.
- Sir.

The scent of two things
are beyond comparison.

A new book...

And crisp new notes.

[humming)

Let's start planning.

It is three a.m. now.

We've been waiting for a long time
but the police hasn't told us anything.

No one is here to represent
Afnan Chowdhury either.

There's a strange sense immunity here.

You can leave.

Excuse me?

You can go.

I'll go?

Yes, you're free.

May I know on what grounds
I was detained?

I mean...

I'm sure I have the right to know
why I was detained.

Right?

Abir.

To keep this capital city safe...

we have to be alert round the clock.

And that's why...

we have to detain anyone
who seems suspicious.

Of course, it's often a hassle for you.

But we do this...

for the sake of your safety.

I hope you understand.

Yes.
Thank you.

Bye.

Sorry.

It's okay.

Hello?

Rumana, is it too late?
Can we talk?

No, you're busy.

No, please listen to me.

Fun time's over?
Has your girlfriend left?

Oh! That's why you're calling me.

Rumana, you've got it wrong.
It's not what you think.

I'm not thinking anything, Abir.

I should've realised
what you're like.

Okay, I'm coming over.
I can't tell you everything on call.

I'll come over and tell you.

Coming over where?

My place?
Impossible.

Can't meet now, Abir.
Bye.

Please try to understand, Rumana...

Aren't you Abir?

Don't you know my name?

Answer me.
Don't ask me questions.

Get out of the car.

Yes, I'm Abir.

Take him to the police station
and seize the car.

- It's our primary evidence.
- Okay, sir.

Why should I go to the police station?
You just released me.

This is the first time I'm seeing you
and you say I just released you?

Why are you talking like a drunk?
How many pegs have you had?

I can smell it.
Have to do a drug test.

- Get him into the car.
- Yes, sir.

Hey! Tell me why
you're arresting me again.

For running over a man on bicycle
while drunk driving in Rahmatganj...

you're being arrested.
Clear?

What?

Me?

When did I run anyone over?
What are you saying?

Did you think you'd escape?

Remember two things, Abir.

A tiger leaves 18 scars.

But for police scars...

you won't even get first aid.

- Put him into the car.
- Yes, sir.
