'Moshi Robonovich passed away earlierthis morning'
'With Moshi Robonovich's demise, the centuries old Jewish history of Kerala'
'will become a memory'
'Even when the rest of the Jews returned to their homeland many years ago,'
'Robonovich decided to continue living here'
'Robonovich, who belonged to the younger generation of expatriate Jews,'
'will rest in peace in our land with the honour of being the last Jew in Kerala'
The who's who of social & cultural fields have reached here
to pay their last respects to Robonovich
We have been informed that the funeral procession to the Jewish cemetery
will commence very soon
-Ya, tell me - Hey Shamsu
-Where are you? - l'm on my way
lt's okay Take your time
Moosakka hasn't left yet
That loser hasn't left yet?
- Did you get the stuff fortoday? -Yes
l didn't get brandy Got rum instead
Whatever bring it fast!
'Sebastian!'
Coming, lkka!
Hey, call me once you tie the boat
l'll keep the door open
Okay!
Here! Go start the car
Okay, lkka
Why did you call me, lkka?
Move the stuff that's lying in the west corner
What about the stuff that's lying overthere?
- Move it somewhere else! -Where?
There are a lot of antiques & stuff at the Jew's house, man!
Before his relatives come,
we have to fix a price for all that stuff and bring it here
Will they sell it, Moosakka?
Why wouldn't they?
Who doesn't fall for the temptation of money?
No...
Be it a Jain or a Jew...
Lock the place l'm leaving
Hey Shamsu,
-Aren't you coming? - l'm almost there 2 minutes!
- Hey, -Yes, Sir
- Pack this as well -Yes, Sir
-All done? -Yes, Sir
Done, Sir
- l'll leave now -You didn't leave yet?
You'll miss the train Leave quickly
And call me when you reach there l'll send a car
Okay!
Where's Priya?
She's at the balcony
Last night in your favorite city, know?.
Please, Ranjan
You can take the girl out of Mumbai...
...but never Mumbai out of the girl
Right?
lt's notjust because it's Mumbai, Ranjan
Everyone who's part of my close circle is here
Leaving all that all of a sudden...
that too, to a place which is not at all familiarto me
You won't understand all that, Ranjan!
The anxiety of leaving your hometown...
lt's not like l don't understand that...
l didn't ask for this transfer
lt's a company posting
Not just that,
lt's a transfer with promotion
After 2 years,
we will be coming back here
And Kochi is not such a bad city
l'm not comparing Kochi & Mumbai
l have a secured feeling here
- Dad & Mom live close by -Yea right!
Dad & Mom!
lt's been 15 years since we got married
And how often have your dad & mom come here in these 15 years?
They are still holding the grudge of their only daughter eloping with a Christian guy
Please
Don't be upset, dear
Once we settle down in Kochi,
and have a baby,
your parents would come flying there
Their grudge towards us can be solved within 2 hours air distance
-Yes, Ummachan! - 'Dude, haven't you left?'
No, l'm just about to leave
Come soon, man! Happy Hours have begun here
Okay!
Priya, come
''The city is singing our favourite tunes, with an unfading smile''
''The heart is searching for new shores with a never-ending desire''
''The twinkling lights far away from the horizon, are like the dreams we saw''
''O Lilac flower!''
''Will you bloom again,''
''on the door of this night which is departing''
''O dear sky''
''will you shower over these branches of love, today?''
''Your every pause embraced the stone-cold layers of my heart, like rainfall''
''We meet while roaming the courtyard of the day as sunshine''
''Your fingers caress me like waves of beautiful memories''
''ln this never-ending journey which we are traveling together''
''O Lilac flower!''
''Will you bloom again,''
''on the door of this night which is departing?''
''The city is singing our favourite tunes, with an unfading smile''
''The heart is searching for new shores with a never-ending desire''
''The twinkling lights far away from the horizon, are like the dreams we saw''
''O Lilac flower!''
''Will you bloom again,''
''on the door of this night which is departing?''
''O dear sky''
''will you shower over these branches of love, today?''
Dude, Shamsu...
By the way,
The stuff that Moosakka slyly stole from the Jew's house,
are not ordinary stuff!
ls there anything suitable for us?
Yes, there's one such thing
Come fast, buddy!
lt's about to rain l'll call you once l tie the boat
- Okay, buddy - Okay!
Move! Move away!
Sir, do you have any more information regarding this death?
Sir, l lock the room & leave around 9:30 every night
He cooks his dinner & sleeps here itself
That's the routine
lt was the same even yesterday
So Moosa, only you can enter the room from outside, right?
- Sir! -What do you think?
There are no signs of a robbery attempt
The backside door was locked from inside
And the shop's key was with Moosakka
Who are Sebastian's friends?
He didn't have any such company, Sir
He used to eat & sleep here itself
For the past 8-9 years,
he has been with me
'The new lnternational Trans-Shipment terminal'
'is a game-changer as far as our shipping industry is concerned'
The age-old formulas of small players won't work here anymore
One needs to dream big
And act big
And our new project is a classic example of that
A project which many had second thoughts about considering
One which needs an investment of bravery more than money
Yes Sanjay, l got a brief from Mumbai
Yes, please
The three Nuclear power plants of South lndia,
Kaiga,
Kalpakkam,
and the recent one in Koodankulam
We have received the order to transport the nuclear waste from these three plants
The interim storage of this waste would be here, in this Kochi hub
Because Kochi is almost equidistant from these three power stations
'Now, let's talk about the raw materials we will be handling'
'Deadly mix!'
'Amurderous blend of Uranium & Plutonium!'
'Low level, lntermediate...'
'...and the most dangerous high level ones too'
'We will handle these three types of waste from the reactors'
'And you know how dangerous it is'
We will pack it into special containers,
and send it to lnternational disposal sites
Our responsibility is until the ship which carries it crosses lnternational waters
Even a minor mistake,
can wipe out this entire city forever
So we can't afford to take even 1% risk
We have multi-layer security measures here
For internal security, we have highly sophisticated equipments,
and qualified security experts
And outside, we have 24/7 surveillance by the ClSF
100% full force
The access to this storage hub,
will belong tojust one person
And he is the key
Apart from a smart card,
You can open it only if you pass 3 phases of biometric access levels
Fingerprint
Voice recognition
Ranjan Mathew lD 7116
And finally
Face recognition
ln short, the key to the hub is you Ranjan
ln a way, this is a service we are doing for our country
But to make the people understand that,
that's the biggest problem
The townsmen have already started protesting
l had seen it, on my way here
Something like a protest or strike, in front of the gate
You knowthe situation in Kerala, right Ranjan?
There is just one industry here which can be easily operated,
And that's a Strike!
Many have gone on hunger strike saying that
they won't allow us to turn Kerala into a Nagasaki See!
Actually, they should be protesting against nuclear reactors, right?
We are the ones who make this place safe
But they don't understand that
There are people here who protest even against the Green Revolution
Malayalis have much more radio-activity than Uranium!
This company & our government who are their ass-kissers,
are trying to create a generation of disabled people
who will be affected by the radiations from nuclear waste
This should never be allowed, comrades!
lt won't happen We won't let it happen
Long Live the Revolution!
First, we have to solve these problems, Ranjan
And, have you settled down?
How is, Priya? ls shejoining you?
We came together
For the time being, we're staying in the company guest house
We've found a villa Have to shift there soon
Hello Shafeer?
- How are you? - Fine, Sanjay
Are you in the office?
No, we just left
And l'll leave tomorrow morning
Ranjan will be here
- Okay? - Okay
- Bye - Bye
Okay
That was the ACP of this city, ShafeerAhmed
He has promised help from the police's side
You please co-ordinate with him
Sure
Shamsu,
You're the last person to call Sebastian
And his last call was to your number
Tell me the truth
'Answer him!'
After work,
we used to drink there without Moosa's knowledge
He steals some stuff from there & gives me sometimes
l sell it at Broadway,
and we split the money between ourselves
l went there on that night because he called me
'lt was raining heavily with lightning & thunder'
'And there was no power as well'
Sebastian?
Sebastian!
Dude, open the door l'm here
Where is this guy?
This loser is not picking up his phone also
Sebastian!
Since l couldn't find him, l left immediately, Sir
And l came to know only the next day...
that he was dead!
Sir, he...
Leave him
Okay, sir!
- Have a great day, sir - Thanks
Maushi, it's made of glass Be careful
Don't worry, Sir
l'll take care of everything l'm there, right?
You just want to listen to music after shifting to the new house?
Arrange all the stuff properly
You've come to God's Own Country, after marrying a good looking girl...
Look at me, man!
l'm looking at you now!
Tell me!
Ranjan,
l was thinking...
Shall we re-design the interiors of this house?
Like...we have to the change the colours of all the rooms
And some antique furniture
And we have to change the curtains & lamp-shades of our bedroom
And then?
Sorry, lt's tough to catch up with him
Are you new here? l haven't seen you earlier
Yes, l am Ranjan That's my wife
l am Priya
Hi l am Nambiar Where are you staying?
We're living in the house on the right side of 2nd cross street
Then we are neighbours!
l stay in the first house afterthat turning
Oh That's nice
Uncle, what's his name?
Czar He's really mischievous
Come, let's go
How long have you been here?
l roamed all around lndia, and came here after retirement
lt's been 8 years now
Ah You reached, Papa?
The school bus left You'll have to drop him Go!
This is Rama
- Hi - Hello
What's your name, dear?
Ammu
Are you going to school, Ammu?
Do you want to drop in? l'll make coffee
Oops l have a review meeting today Another day?
Okay uncle! Bye!
Come, dear Let's go
When will this work get done, Thankachan?
lt will take a couple more days, Father
lt's been so long
Hurry up & finish it fast!
- Okay, Father -When is that bricks guy coming?
He hasn't come He is bedridden
Ranjan, son...
l was about to call you
How's your stay in the new house?
Going good, Father Sam
By the way, take care of it like your own house
That Gujarati Sait wasn't very interested in renting it out
But then, l convinced him somehow
lf Priya cannot handle it alone, call someone else for help
We have someone already The same old lady from Mumbai
That Marathi woman
Be it Marathi or whatever
Just see to it that the house is well maintained
You don't have to be tensed about that at all
lnterior designer Priya Raghuram is back with a bang!
She's exploring every single antique store in Kochi already
By the way, when are you coming here, Father Sam?
Don't you want to see my wife?
l want to come, son l haven't met Priya yet, right?
Let this renovation work get done l'll come next week!
Okay, Father
300 years old Single wood carving
Ancient metal art Fully from bronze, madam
lt impressed me
Maushi?
Priya?
Priya, l am home
Can't you respond when l call you, Priya?
You scared me!
Turn on the emergency lamp
l was searching for it
Ranjan, freshen up
l'll serve dinner
Give it here
You're already so late
Hello, madam!
How can you sleep like this? l called you so many times!
And since l was getting late, l went alone
Don't scare me!
l swear! l called you several times!
Priya, don't act weird
Don't you want me to drop you? Come & get ready quickly!
Many are looking for breaking news every single hour
And the newspapers have it on the front page now
What do l tell them if they ask me about the case and its progress?
Sir, you also saw the forensic report, right?
But if you say that there is not even a single suspect?
What about the spare key of the store?
lt has just one key
But that will always be with Moosa
But Shafeer, who will have the key to this mystery?
lsn't that Priya? Stop the car
- Fort Kochi? - l can't come to Fort Kochi
Going home, right?
Get in
Shall we go?
Thank you, uncle
lt's really difficult to get an auto here
Looks like you've done a lot of shopping?
Oh Those are some bed linen & curtains!
She's always shopping &jogging!
And not bothered about poor neighbours like us
That's right, Papa!
lt's been 3 weeks since you shifted there
And you both haven't even come home once!
Sorry, chechi!
We have finally settled only now
We'll come this Sunday for sure
Thanks, uncle Bye, chechi
- Don't forget about Sunday! - Sure!
Maushi?
What happened?
Your wife is waiting in the car outside
-Who permitted her inside the hub? -When she said it was urgent...
And?
What else did you see apart from that girl?
Please believe me
l'm telling the truth l saw her with my own eyes
One look at these eyes of yours reveals your problem
You have dark circles, Priya
When you shift to a new place, everyone will have such thoughts
lt's notjust a thought, Ranjan!
How do l make you understand?
You know the reason for it as well
Coming here suddenly leaving your Mumbai apartment life;
that huge house;
You need to give yourself time to get used to all these
lt will be more than enough if you realize that
And don't be scared Am l not there with you?
But most of the time l'm alone in that house, Ranjan!
Let's go for a drive
Come!
That Dhaba on the highway,
let's have dinnerthere today What say?
Come, dear
lt was just an illusion That's all
There aren't any fractures on your leg, right?
No
Did you hearthe sound from here?
l heard footsteps
That's when l went & checked
Sir, please
- Sir? - No
- Madam - Get lost!
Did you hear that sound?
No
l was fast asleep
The attic's door was locked from inside
Roof tiles are also in place
lt's an old house, right? Must be a bat or civet
Anyway, be careful hereafter
lnform me if anything comes up
And there are no strikes or protests now, right?
No, they have calmed down now
How is Sanjay doing?
- lsn't he coming back? - He will be there for some more time
Father Sam, give it to me
The car is over there
This is a better place to live, right?
That's true, Father
We fully realize that only when we stay away from here for a long time
So...
Has Priya adapted well to the house & surroundings?
House?
She has turned it into a heritage hotel now
By the way, how are Priya's parents?
They are fine
She calls her mom on the phone at times
But her Papa is still...
Can't you try talking to them once more?
Father, you know how things are...
lt will be like that only...
You went away with their only daughter, right?
Aha! Now you're taking their side?
You were the one who asked me to go get her
The letters you wrote to me about that are my emotional archive, even now
ln the excitement to meet you,
someone's waiting there after some special cooking
How is your Marathi maid?
She came along with us
Maushi is fine
But...
there are some other problems, Father
Come in, Father
Father Sam!
You carry on! l'll join you
Where has she gone?
There's nothing to worry
lt's black-out that occurred due to over-exhaustion
We'll do a detailed check-up tomorrow
And l'll give some sleeping tablets as well
Okay?
You can leave once this drip is over
The incidents that occurred here according to what you've told me,
l think l have found its origin
Who opened that box?
What is it, Father Sam?
That's...
That's a Dybbuk
Dybbuk?
'An restless malicious spirit of a Jew, dislocated from his body'
'is known as a Dybbuk'
'Like we refer to it as a ghost,'
'the Jews refer to it as 'Ruchin'
'Long ago,'
'such restless spirits used to be contained in boxes,'
'and preserved with utmost care'
'There were some particular purposes forthat as well'
'This box must not be opened under any circumstance'
'ln case it is opened,'
'the Dybbuk contained within that box'
'might posses another living person's body'
Did the soul posses Priya when she opened the box,
or did it possess the whole house itself?
l don't know, Ranjan!
Father Sam,
shall we throw it away?
The problem won't be solved
Once the spirit has possessed someone else after it's opened,
it won't have any association with this box
There are no other solutions?
lf we have to do something,
we have to find out what is written on it first!
Give me ten minutes
l'll translate & send it
Okay!
Hello?
l've sent the translated attachment
And,
connecting the dots between what you said & the sentence on the box,
l think there might be some complications
'lf you need any help,'
'l have sent a friend's address also along with the mail'
'He is a Jew'
'He is in Bombay now'
'The spirit of Abraham Ezra, dislocated from his body' 1941 AD
l think this is something beyond our limits
Only a Jewish priest can do something about this
That too,
l don't know how practical it would be
lf you also talk like this, what do l...
You do one thing
Go to Mumbai, and meet that Jewish priest
He said the priest was his classmate, right?
He will definitely help you
And, tell Priya that this is an official trip
What did you say his name was?
Rabbi Benyamin
The horror of the night & the torture of the morning will not hunt you anymore
Plagues and enemies will not come your way anymore
Someone called Ranjan has come to meet you
Call him
That's enough for today
Tomorrow, we shall learn in detail about Messianic Jews
Marquez is here
- Let's play ball - Come!
l have no other option
You are my only and last option
Dybbuk is just an imaginary concept in Jewish folklore
lt can be considered as a myth
Young men like you,
how do you even believe in all this?
But what about all that happened overthere?
Please come along with me!
Among the Jews in Kerala,
l haven't even heard about such a thing
l was the priest of the Jewish church in Kochi for a long time
Even if someone has made a Dybbuk,
it won't possess someone else so easily
lt can only conquer people whose minds and bodies are not in co-ordination
Marquez, give us the ball!
Rabbi, Marquez is not giving us the ball He is always like this
Stop fooling around, Marquez
He is Rabbi Marquez
My son
He was also with me in Kochi, until he was 10 years old
What l was saying is that,
you don't have to be scared about this Dybbuk
This is not because of that
lt's something else
So,
it would be betterto approach someone else
How long have l been calling you?
l have some good news
Shall l say it?
We gonna start a family
You're going to become a father
This is great news
Of course!
We'll celebrate this
-When are you coming back? - Today itself!
Just give me 10 minutes
l'll call you back Okay?
lt was my wife
She is pregnant
What did youjust say?
She is pregnant
Oh God!
Finally you reached!
Can't you respond to my calls?
What Ranjan? Aren't you excited?
Everything is happening like we planned
Even if someone has made a Dybbuk,
it won't possess someone else so easily
lt can only conquer people whose brains and bodies are not in co-ordination
For example, people who have mental instabilities like 'Fear Psychosis'
Or else, babies
lt will take a few years after their birth
for their minds & bodies to have co-ordination
ln your case, both are invalid
What did youjust say?
Now l think, what you suspected was right
We are really late
The Dybbuk has possessed
youryet-to-be-born baby
l don't think l can do anything now
The Rabbi who is sent to perform exorcism...
...will be that spirit's biggest enemy
And then, Ranjan...
What did the Rabbi say?
Maybe because he understood my situation,
He asked me to go to the Kabat house
But...
What came out of the box,
will leave only after destroying everything, Ranjan
lsn't there some solution, Marquez?
lf...
lf l abort my child...
...will Priya survive?
lf you do that, it will be Priya's life which will be in danger first
Now it is not your child,
it's an evil spirit
Whatever Priya hears or sees,
is according to its will
lt needs the motherto be safe until it is born
lt is the doorfor the spirit to enter this world
Carrier of this spirit
l'm referring to the child as 'it' because...
we don't know if the child is a boy or a girl yet
lf we want to know the Dybbuk's true purpose,
we should know the child's gender
Until then, we must wait!
What do l...
What do l do now, Marquez?
Can you come along with me, please?
l will come But not right now
Ranjan, we have only one chance
Before that, l need to make some preparations
This is a 'Khamsa locket'
lt is an amulet which Jews believe in
lt will protect you up to an extent
And, remove all the mirrors in the house
Spirit activities usually increase where there are reflections
Father Sam,
What do l tell Priya?
l'm seeing herfeeling so happy,
after so many days
But now...
l really don't know
She shouldn't know anything now
You shouldn't let her know
When it is time, she will understand everything herself
l know that it is not that easy
But you have to be strong, Ranjan!
What have you done?
All the mirrors are broken or painted!
What's wrong with you?
Well, that...
Didn't you say that you got scared seeing some reflection on the mirror?
l'm not scared You're here, right?
Let it be
But your safety is more important to me now
Safety? Why? ls this some haunted house?
lf so, Father could've sent us to some other house, right?
Now don't start off with that, Priya!
Hey...
Ensuring a safe landing forjunior Ranjan,
is the senior's responsibility
''O' night with a never-ending darkness''
''Why is dawn so far away?''
''Who is that with you, like a shadow?.''
''While all the smiles vanish''
''Who is causing that slow pain, which is rotting inside your heart?''
''Nameless thoughts charioting the heart''
''Which is consumed by the magic of mysteries rooted in fear''
''Do we have time by our side to gamble with destiny?''
''O' night with a never-ending darkness''
''Why is dawn so far away?''
''Who is that with you, like a shadow?.''
Mummy said that she'll come before the next scanning
You'll be free, right?
There's one more week for the next scanning, right?
Do you want some coffee?
Hello?
l haven't seen you both in a long time!
Seems you're really busy
We don't take this route that often
Where's uncle?
Papa is crazy!
He has gone for some meeting for 'One rank, One pension'
Czar, stay calm!
Hey, stay calm!
Why are you so tired, Priya?
Aren't you doing your check-ups regularly?
lsn't she your friend?
Why are you creating a fuss?
What has gotten into him?
Shall we leave then?
Okay!
Did you see,Priya?
What happened?
Who are you?
Didn't you hear me? Who are you?
Ezra
Abraham Ezra
What do you want?
You shouldn't be here
lt's nothing, Ranjan
Just a slight fluctuation in BP, that's all!
l have given her a sedative Let her sleep
We'll do a detailed check-up at the hospital tomorrow, okay?
Ranjan, for someone like her, l think...
especially during pregnancy,
it's very important to have a female support
l thought her mom was coming
We've called her She'll be here in 2 days
Okay
Shall l leave then?
Let her to sleep She'll be fine
Sure, thank you, doctor
'The Dybbuk will try to destroy everything that tries to stop it'
'lt is not so easy to capture something that is bent on taking revenge'
Abraham Ezra
We have to enquire about him
Who is he? What happened to him?
Do you know a place called Chennamangalam?
- l've heard of it - How far is it?
Maybe...
...one or one and half an hour
l have to meet someone there
l don't know if he's still alive
Mr Joshua Yahudi
He is an old friend of my father's
l don't know his phone number or address
Shall we go tomorrow morning?
On the way, we shall go via your office
l can see it as well
Brother,
do you know where Joshua Yahudi's house is?
Go straight and then right
Thanks
ln 1964,
l was expelled from Judaism
Offense - Love
Elsie was a Christian girl
To check the caste & horoscopes before falling in love,
it wasn't like today's times back then
The problems started back then
When they asked me if l wanted my religion or my girl;
instead of replying, l took her hand and came here
Now, only my name has 'Yahudi' (Jew)
l am not a Jew
Are you alone here now?.
Yes
lt was a Jewish settlement here, long back
All of them went back to lsrael one by one
l think it was in 1975, when the last Jew left this town
l've heard from my fatherthat yourfather had written a book about Jews in Kerala
The last text written in Hebrew
My father used to say often that he wanted to get it published
But the others didn't allow him
They didn't want the outside world to know their secrets
Every religion stands firm upon buried truths, isn't it?
That book...Can we see it?
'lt must be somewhere in that shelf'
'No one has come here asking for it so far'
'To be frank, even l had forgotten about it'
Dybbuk beyond Jewish folklore
Kunjan, keep this inside
lt's time for me to leave
Don't waste time You can go!
Why are you going to Kochi, leaving me alone?
l'm going for both of us, right?
Will you forget me if you meet some Jewish girl there, Ezra?
Shut up! ls this the first time l'm going to Kochi?
l have to make money by staying with my fatherfor some time
Afterthat, we'll get married
When l come back from Kochi this time, l will be bringing a gift for you
Leave before someone notices us
'Everything began with...'
'the romance between the Jewish boy Abraham Ezra & the Christian village girl Rosy'
'Yakub Ezra who was also known as Jew Maplai,'
'was one among the descendants of the Jews who had migrated to Kerala'
'lt was the time when he kept expanding his business empire'
'by establishing relations with many foreign traders'
l am sure you'll trade with new customers
who will value good quality
Did you get cinnamon balsam, Ezra?
Yes, father
Please sit
-We'll work it out - Thank you
- Don't worry - Sure
You stay here till Saturday
We shall go together in the motor car
Okay, father
'Apart from being a businessman,'
'the Jew Maplai who was also a master of the Jewish black magic called 'Kabbalah';
'firmly believed that this was the main reason behind his success'
'Jew Maplai was a supporter of the Zionist movement'
'which promised the re-establishment of a Jewish homeland'
'He knewthat his life here was temporary,'
'and anticipated that he could return to his motherland with his family someday'
Why are you so late?
l had to come hiding from everyone, right?
What is in that packet?
Didn't l tell you that l'll bring a gift?
Open it & see
What is this?
This is what a bride wears for a Jewish wedding
See!
lt's for you to wear, for our wedding!
Very pretty, right?
''May the fasting for the Lord protect you''
''You should be adorned with ornaments''
''Wearing beautiful clothes''
''With a hip-chain on your waist''
'She finally realized that Ezra's child was growing in her womb'
'She was afraid whether she would be able to marry Ezra who was from another religion'
'and that was troubling her mind'
Swear upon the cross that you will marry me, Ezra!
l swear upon the golden cross, l will marry you!
Shall l leave?
As soon as l reach Kochi, l'll talk to my father about us
Rosy, where were you all this while?
That too, when you have so much work here
How dare you!
Agirl from another religion?
Listen to me, father...
Turning water into wine was a long time ago...
Now water is water, and wine is wine
They both don't match
Do you know what happened to people who were expelled from the religion?
Haven't l told you?
We have to leave this place someday
We have to achieve a lot more
ln the future, this world will be ruled by us Jews
That thought should always be there in your mind & your actions!
Father!
''The hips where the bunch of keys dangled in unison''
''Earrings in your ears and chain on your chest''
''Strands of hairfull of flowers''
''And anklets for dancing''
''O' fragrant Kasturi flower, dancing in rose water''
'Rosy searched for Ezra in every boat that reached ashore,'
'and returned in disappointment'
''You should be adorned with ornaments''
''Wearing beautiful clothes''
Tell me the truth Who is it?
Spoiling the family's honour!
Tell us at least now
Tell us who it is!
You won't say?
Come here! Come here, l said!
Come!
Stay there! l won't even give you a drop of water!
However much they forced her, she didn't take Ezra's name
Weeks and months went by
Rosy,
Kunjan!
Ezra sent this
- Shall l leave? - Okay
'Rosy,'
'l love you'
'But we don't have the good fortune of living together'
'You should forget me'
'Ezra'
''May the fasting for the Lord protect you''
''You should be adorned with ornaments''
''Wearing beautiful clothes''
'The villagers came to know what the real reason behind Rosy's suicide was'
'Ezra's letter which was found from her room,'
'and a confession from Kunjan,'
'became evidences that pointed fingers towards Abraham Ezra'
'Jew Maplai went to the village once a week without taking Ezra,'
'met his family and returned'
'With the anticipation that Ezra would come to his house,'
'to see his ailing mother at least once;'
'the villagers were waiting for him'
Send him out!
Tell Ezra to get down
ltty,
The children made a mistake
And they got punished forthat as well
We can sit and have a talk about things if you want to
Jew Maplai,
l want to talk to Ezra
Send him out
l won't leave without talking to him
Can't you understand what l said?
l knowthat you're standing here because they are supporting you
You know me well, right?
Start the car!
Stop them! Stop the car!
'What happened after that...'
'...was justice served by the angry mob'
'Jew Maplai had to watch his son being attacked inch-by-inch'
My dear son Ezra!
'Saint Joseph Hospital'
'Ezra had suffered fatal blows to his internal organs'
'The doctors confirmed that a return to normal life was impossible for him'
'Jew Maplai, who understood that Ezra's spirit will soon leave his body;'
'turned towards black magic'
'He embarked on a mission'
'to contain that spirit into a wine box and create a Dybbuk'
'He wanted to take revenge on the race which destroyed his only son,'
'by using his son's own life'
'Jew Maplai wasn't ready to leave Ezra to live the rest of his life as a vegetable'
'Jew Maplai turned to black magic rituals to contain Ezra's spirit in a wine box'
'and create a Dybbuk'
'That Jewish black magician envisioned the Dybbuk in a way that,'
'after the last Jew in this land is dead,'
'it would possess a body which would be fit to take revenge,'
'and cause the complete destruction of this land'
'To create a Dybbuk,'
'the corpse cannot be buried or cremated, according to the rules'
'After the black magic rituals,'
'the Jew Maplai disposed his son's corpse in the Arabian Sea'
'Nobody realized that a wooden effigy was buried in the cemetery,'
'instead of Ezra's corpse'
'The Dybbuk was envisioned in such a way that,'
'when the last Jew in this land is dead,'
'it will possess a body which is fit for revenge,'
and cause the complete destruction of this land'
Where are they, Father?
She met her Mummy after such a long time, right?
She would be enjoying that
Are there any problems in this world which can't be solved by talking face-to-face?
There are some of that remain unsolved in spite of that, Father
Papa is still angry with us, right Mummy?
After you called, his ego has calmed down a bit
You know how many offerings l made to the temple for everything to become alright?
Why is the next shipment getting so delayed?
That container from Koodankulam, won't it reach soon?
Will you have space over there?
We have the storage space to accommodate that as well, Sanjay
Yeah, good
Alright
But this time, it's high level radio-active waste which is coming
You go to be very careful
l know l'll handle it
Bye, Sanjay
lt'll be difficult for him to handle both his office & this house
Your Papa is least interested in settling down here in Kerala
lf that was the case, we could have been here with all the temples & festivals!
Oh God!
The temple priest has asked us to go to the Thrikkavil temple tomorrow
That's in the evening, right?
You can go with Ranjan
The baby is perfectly all right
See, is moving
Surprise
Father, you know that disclosing the gender of the child is against medical ethics!
And illegal too
But l'm giving this is to you, because it is such a special case
Here you go
Scan report
- Please keep it confidentially - Thank you
Sir, you?
He is here, Sir
He is inside Shall l call him?
What is happening here?
Nothing, Sir
l was searching for the other pair of this anklet
l don't know where it's gone
We'll sit upstairs
Bring some coffee
Connecting all the events that have been happening here for the past few days,
l have some...
Like a picture that becomes clearer when the dots are connected...
The box from the antique store that's over here;
The footsteps you heard that night;
Priya's missing anklet;
And Colonel Nambiar's complaint
Are you hiding something from me?
You go downstairs
They are calling you
lt was only after l came here,
that even he could understand the seriousness of the situation
We wanted to tell this to you in the beginning itself
But...
how can we make someone believe in
supernatural phenomenon which are way beyond logical explanations?
According to what you have said,
Sebastian must be its first victim
So...what's next, Father?
Exorcism!
Yes, dear...
Shall we leave?
We have to reach the temple before the evening Pooja
Exorcism is the only option
And we have to do it at the earliest
Before that, to know whether the things mentioned in the book is true;
we have to break open Abraham Ezra's coffin at the Jew cemetery & check it
That cemetery is a protected heritage site, Marquez
lt's because we have no other option
ls the heritage of this land more important than the land itself?
Ezra's body was disposed in the sea
Everything in the book was true
l'll try to get the Synagogue, Marquez
lt's under the archeology department now
To complete the exorcism, we would need ten Jews
But ten Jews, at this hour...
The Jew rituals are performed only in the presence of 10 believers
And after everything is over, before the sunrise;
we have to dispose the Dybbuk box in the sea
At the same place where Abraham Ezra's body was disposed
The exorcism would be complete only then
Priya...
What happened? Where's my daughter?
Maushi, what happened?
'What? What happened?'
'Who is there?'
'Father Sam!'
We don't have time, Ranjan
We are already late
There is an emergency
Within one hour, l need the caretaker of that Synagogue with the keys!
lt's unofficial
And find out where Jew tourists are staying in Kochi
Hotels, home stays, everything Search everywhere
Shafeer, no
What's happening, Marquez
Father Sam!
Why am l...
Say something, Priya
lt's you Ranjan
Abraham Ezra is within you!
Abraham Ezra will be able to take revenge for Yakub Ezra only through you
The key to the destruction of this land,
is you, Ranjan!
What?!
That night, it was a trap laid for you
Who are you?
Didn't you hear me? Who are you?
Ezra
Abraham Ezra
What do you want?
You shouldn't be here
l suspected some danger from the access card in Ranjan's hand during that hour,
and reached the radio-active hub
lt was while l was searching for the reason why the Dybbuk might have possessed Ranjan,
who carries the secret codes towards a major destruction on his fingertips;
l had a chance to read about Ezra and Yakub Ezra's revenge
lt's on Ranjan, Father
Ranjan is the target
Abraham Ezra's spirit which was freed when the box was opened,
possessed Priya's baby
Gradually, Priya came under its control
lt made Priya do whatever it wanted
The spirit whose aim was the destruction of this land,
found an easy way
To enter the radio-active hub,
destroy it,
and see the people dying through nuclear radiation
That was possible only through Ranjan
But l still had one doubt, Father
Only the people whose minds & bodies are not in co-ordination,
can be conquered by the Dybbuk
For example, people who have mental instabilities like 'Fear Psychosis'
Father, does Ranjan have something of that sort?
Yes
'His parents died in an accident on the highway'
'That incident deeply affected his mind'
'More than losing my sister & her husband,'
'l was worried about Ranjan's sudden loneliness'
'He started being increasingly restless afterthat'
'Gradually, all of it was gone'
'He became the old Ranjan'
'l enrolled him in the Church's boarding school'
'He finished his schooling with great marks,'
'and went to Mumbai for higher studies'
'Then we can be sure, Father'
Ranjan, who is in a mental distress again after seeing Priya's condition;
is the Dybbuk's target
'lf Abraham Ezra's spirit's target is a male,'
'the carrier baby should also be a male'
'When it was confirmed that it was a male baby in the medical report,'
'l confirmed that the Dybbuk was inside Ranjan'
'But if Ranjan's conscious mind had known this,'
'maybe even the exorcism would've been impossible'
'So, we decided to maintain the impression that the Dybbuk was still in Priya'
Priya became ready for it
Don't try to stop me
l will leave only after destroying everything!
l have come to take revenge for my father
lf you don't want to get killed, move away!
Put all the things that connect you to Ranjan in this box
Ranjan's mind should badly want to out the spirit within him
The success of the exorcism will depend upon the gravity of that desire
These are Jewtourists who knowthe Hebrew language
l've told them everything
Father, please
Priya, you should stay back
Do not stop chanting prayers
The Dybbuk would try his best to scare you But don't be afraid
l will make sure that you are safe
There isn't much time left Shall we go?
ls it here, Marquez?
Yes
Hello?
There's a happy news
Got it
l'll be coming there soon to meet junior Ranjan
You should come
l'll wait foryou Bye, Marquez
Esho, all these buildings would be ours
We will rule this Bombay city!
Are you done? Get lost, man!
This is Bombay!
There's no point in talking here! We have to do great work here!
We need our tools to work here, or else we'll have to go work in some tea shop!
What can we do by sitting here & staring at this beach?
We should get a good job, bro!
Don't make me sad!
When ourtime is right, we will get all that we wanted!
And when would that be?
lt will come soon!
Dude,
What is it?
Check out that thing!
Over there!
Dude, it's a box!
Hey! Careful!
Bro, l'll help you!
- See! - Bro, what is this?
How do l know?.
Anyway, the box looks rich And it's really heavy too!
Will it be some treasure?
Shall we open it?
You fool! Over here?
