Summary
Calcutta 1945. A suspicious man on the tram borrows Byomkesh's matchbox but returns a matchbox with a different label. Byomkesh usually has matchboxes with a label of a horse on it, but the returned matchbox had the label of a railway engine on it.
Byomkesh believes that its signal. Upon investigation Byomkesh concludes that someone had stolen Prof Dev's poison matchstick box from police custody. The police inspector Biren (Manasvi Singh) confirms this.
Further investigation reveals that one stick in the box was laced with poison. So, the criminal's intention was to kill Byomkesh.
Biren says that over the years Byomkesh has acquired many enemies by sending criminals to jail. Any one of them could be seeking revenge against Byomkesh.
Byomkesh receives a letter from Kokanand Gupt, a person who he doesn't know. The letter talks about repaying an old debt with most humility. A newly moved person in his building, calling himself Byomkesh Bose, claims the letter was addressed to him. Mr Bose has a heavily disfigured face, due to which his features are not very easily identifiable.
Byomkesh feels that he has seen Mr Bose somewhere (he is the cocaine dealing doctor from the very first episode - Satyanveshi). Mr Bose has moved into the building a week ago.
Byomkesh decides to stage his own death, to ensure that his stalker believes that he is out of his way. Byomkesh says he will take out an advertisement in the newspaper saying that a dead body matching his description was found at a railway station and cause of death is not yet ascertained. His body will have a ticket to Shrirampur on it. And people will be invited to identify the dead body at the local hospital.
Byomkesh enlists police support for his plan. Byomkesh is curious if his prospective killer will react to the ad and would it be enough to draw him out into the open
As Byomkesh disappears, Byomkesh Bose arrives to inquire about his whereabouts. Ajit stalls Mr Bose's questions as much as he can.
The police announce the death of an unidentified man, matching the description of Byomkesh & invites people to come in for identification. Byomkesh believes that the man who wants him dead, will come to make sure.
Soon enough Mr Bose arrives at the morgue but runs away when he checks Byomkesh's heartbeat and finds him alive. Before Byomkesh could react, Mr Bose is already far away and out of reach in a taxi in which he came. Byomkesh reaches home and finds from the caretaker of the building that Mr Bose had arrived shortly earlier to pick up his stuff.
Byomkesh surmises that Kokanand Gupt & Mr Bose is the same person, who wants to extract revenge on Byomkesh. Byomkesh finds the taxi that Mr Bose used to run away. Byomkesh's home helper Punti ram had noted down the number of the Taxi, when Mr Bose had to Byomkesh's building to collect his luggage, before leaving again soon.
Byomkesh finds that Mr Bose has gone to same building where Ajit & Byomkesh first met.
Byomkesh recognizes Mr Bose as Anukool (Suresh Bhagwat), the owner of the lodge who dealt in Cocaine & whom Byomkesh got arrested & sentenced to 10 years in jail. Now he has been released & has promised revenge on Byomkesh. Byomkesh confronts Anukool & recovers the remaining poison laced matchsticks from him (Deb had made 5 poison matchsticks and Anukul had used one to try and kill Byomkesh). The police promptly arrest him.
Police tells Byomkesh that Anukul's face was burnt with Nitric acid, when he was working inside a prison lab. Anukul used to attend court hearings of criminals that Byomkesh arrested. He came across Deb's case and the 5 poison matchsticks that he created. Anukul decided to steal the matchsticks from evidence locker and to use them to kill Byomkesh.
