The Widows of Malabar Hill

In 1921 and awakening in the dark, Perveen realizes she is still trapped in the bag. She tries to imagine who is responsible: Cyrus, Ravi, Jayanth’s angry boss, or the person who killed Mukri. She uses a hairpin to sharpen her fountain pen nib and manages to cut herself out of the bag. She realizes she is at the docks and has been locked in a storeroom. When she finds the door, it is locked, and she hears no one on the other side. In an epiphany, she realizes if she spills the rose attar in her purse, the expensive and feminine scent might attract workers who would want to find out where the unusual smell was coming from. She spills the attar and pushes some coins under the door. When she hears voices, she screams for help and Jayanth and his friends rescue her.

A policeman arrives and starts to investigate the storeroom, assuming someone has been kidnapping women. His light illuminates the sacks’ logos, which read “Farid Fabrics.”

Reunited with her family, they recount their frantic search for Perveen. She confesses that she is worried it could be Cyrus, and her father tells her that he already knew her ex-husband was in town.
