The Mafia Blueprint
mystery
10:35 PM
Afzal Hossain sits with his head tilted upward. A few moments later, Constable Latif Mia brings three young men before him.
...
Latif Mia, what were they doing?
...
Sir, they are Sabbir’s men.
...
Lock them all up, Latif.
...
I need to find out from them where Sabbir is hiding.”
...
Sir, we don’t know where Sabbir Bhai is right now!" one of the men cries out.
...
Latif, bring some hot water.
...
Sir, we truly don’t know where he is! Please, don't pour hot water on us!"
...
Afzal Hossain ignores their pleas and begins beating them with his stick.
...
Sir! Tomorrow night at (.......) location, Sabbir Bhai is supposed to have a deal with Rahat Bhai! Sir, we don’t know anything else! Please let us go this time
...
Latif, finish your job
[Breaking News: Last night, 150 Crore BDT was stolen from Bangladesh Bank. Police suspect this wasn't a physical robbery; someone hacked several large accounts.]
Police Commissioner Meherab Khan is at the station, deep in thought. He wastes no time and calls Iqbal
...
Why the sudden call, Sir?
mehrab
Iqbal, I want to see you at the station before 12:00. And bring your—
...
Sir, I’ll bring everything.
[Iqbal is a professional-level hacker.]
Upon arriving at the station, Iqbal goes straight to Meherab.
...
Sorry Sir, I don’t think I can do this.
...
Sir, the person who did this is a far bigger 'hacker' than I am.
Just then, Meherab receives a phone call.
mehrab
Yes Sir, I have no problem...
7:46 PM
Meherab gazes at the busy city through his window, wondering why the CM is bringing 'Raj' to this city.
The monsoon has ended, and autumn has arrived. The dark clouds have cleared, replaced by a light drizzle. The busy city hasn't stopped for the rain.
9:30 AM
A black car pulls up in front of Meherab’s two-story house. Hearing the sound, Meherab, his daughter Rimi, and her friend Megha stand at the gate.
A handsome young man steps out of the car. He is wearing a black shirt under a white coat, white pants, and black shoes. He approaches with his luggage and salutes Meherab.
...
Assalamu Alaikum, Sir.
mehrab
Wa Alaikum Assalam. Did you have any trouble finding the place?
...
No trouble at all, Sir.
mehrab
Let me introduce you. This is my daughter Rimi, and this is her friend Megha. Rimi, this is Raj, Assistant Commissioner of Police.
mehrab
Rimi, show Raj to his room.
..
(annoyed): Okay Dad. Follow me, Mr.
Raj freshens up and stands on the balcony, watching the busy city and lost in thought. Suddenly, he hears a voice behind him. It’s Rimi.
..
My father asked you to come downstairs
mehrab
He hands Raj a photograph.
raj
Who are these people, Sir?
mehrab
Rafin and Rafsan—the 'Rafians' of the cursed underworld. They are two brothers. To this day, no one has seen them. Even their own men haven't seen their faces. I’ve been after them for five years.
mehrab
I managed to capture some of their men. But they all said the same thing—they never saw Rafin and Rafsan. They always wore masks during meetings and communicated only via mobile phones.
raj
Couldn't you track the numbers?
mehrab
I tried. It didn't work.
mehrab
The bank heist is bothering me. The security was very tight. The one who did it is no ordinary hacker.
raj
Who do you suspect, Sir?
mehrab
From some articles, I've gathered that whenever Rafin and Rafsan enter a new city, they first steal a large amount from a major bank.
raj
So we are assuming they are the hackers?
mehrab
Let's assume so. Farhad Sir sent you specifically for this case.
raj
Raj gives a subtle, mysterious smile.
mehrab
Sir mentioned that you love playing mind games with criminals.
raj
Yes, Sir. I don’t catch or kill criminals in the traditional way. I play mind games with them in their own style.
raj
Raj lets out a mysterious laugh—one that hides many secrets.
A boy enters the Dhaka University campus, looking around cautiously. Many students stare at him in surprise. He is wearing a loose, old shirt, black pants, has long hair, and wears thick-rimmed glasses. He looks down and gives a subtle smile.
As he takes a step forward, his foot trips over something and he almost falls, but someone catches his hand. He adjusts his glasses and sees a group of boys laughing loudly
The leader of the group, a boy named Sajib, grabs his hand.
...
Hey, what’s your name?
...
Ayan, light a cigarette.
Ayan lights a cigarette and hands it to Sajib. Sajib forcefully holds it in front of Rafi’s face.
...
Smoke it! If you don’t finish it, I’ll make you regret it.
rafi
B-brother, I’ve never smoked in my life. I can't.
The group bursts into laughter. A boy named Shrabon presses the cigarette against Rafi’s face.
...
You'll smoke today, and so will your entire lineage! Take a puff!
rafi
Rafi’s lip gets burnt by the cigarette. He starts crying.
rafi
Brother, I can't do this. Please let me go.
...
Look, that girl is coming. Go pull her scarf (orna) forcefully. Now!
Before he could finish, Sajib slaps Rafi hard across the face. Rafi’s eyes turn red, but he remains silent. This is Rafi’s first experience with ragging.
...
What should we do with him, brother?
...
Let's take off his shirt.
...
No, then he'll wander around naked.
...
Let's make him wear one of those revealing modern dresses girls wear to night parties. How would that look?
...
You guys are something else! Go, you don't need a dress. Bring something else.
...
Shamim, wait. Bring some mobile oil (engine oil) too.
...
Sure thing, brother! Hahaha!
Rafi is trapped in a nightmare. He pleads with Sajib.
rafi
Please forgive me, brother. I only came to this city and this campus to study. I haven't done anything to you. Tomorrow is my class test... I need to study. I am like your younger brother.
They just laugh. They drag Rafi toward the back of the campus. Many students watch, but no one comes to help. Everyone knows Sajib—he is the son of the powerful Mayor, Shahid Hossain. His uncle is the Chairman of the University. Sajib is a third-year student who bullies everyone.
Shamim returns with 5 eggs and the oil. They strip Rafi’s shirt off. Many are surprised to see that despite his appearance, Rafi has a fair, well-built, gym-toned body. Rafi keeps his head down. They pour the black mobile oil over him, staining his skin. Sohag breaks the eggs over his head. Sajib kicks Rafi in the chest, sending him flying.
Rafi runs away in shame. As he rushes toward the gate, he accidentally bumps into a girl. Because of the oil in his eyes, he can't see clearly. He tries to say something, but the girl slaps him hard
..
You ill-mannered brat! Did you just crawl out of a dumpster? You scumbag!
Rafi runs home, his heart racing. The quiet boy is becoming restless. He looks at himself in the mirror, barely recognizing his own reflection. But then, he calms down and gives a mysterious, subtle smile to the mirror...
[Breaking News: Prominent businessman Nizamuddin Hawlader was brutally murdered last night by unknown assailants.]
Meherab sees the news and immediately heads to the station. Meanwhile, Raj wakes up and knocks on Meherab's door, but gets no response. He calls Meherab.
raj
Hello Sir, where are you?
mehrab
Raj, get ready and come to the station immediately. An important case has come up.
On his way, Raj sees three men forcing a girl into an alley. He stops the car and intervenes.
raj
Hey, where are you taking her?
...
Look, a cop! Listen, Officer, we are Sabbir’s men. We do what we want. Leave before things get ugly.
raj
Why are you taking her?
...
I proposed to her and she slapped me in front of everyone. Today, we take our revenge by raping her.
raj
Look, I don't want trouble. Let her go.
One of the men grabs Raj’s collar to hit him, but suddenly, a bullet whistles through the air and hits the man in the head. Fresh blood splatters the road. The other two men charge at Raj, but two more bullets hit—one in the throat and one in the chest of the remaining men.
The girl screams and hides behind Raj, crying. Raj is stunned, wondering who saved him. Suddenly, a boy on a bicycle drops a box into Raj’s hand and speeds away.
Meherab arrives shortly after. Raj explains everything. Meherab looks grave. He takes the box and opens it carefully. Inside, there is a letter, a photo of Raj, and some rose petals.
...
Welcome, welcome Mr. Raj, to my Mafia Mastermind City. I will play with you in my Mind City. Be ready... Hahahaha... Sincerely, Your Well-wisher
Meherab is also worried. Everything feels like a maze. He thinks: The day the Rafians arrived, 150 crore was stolen. The next day Raj arrives. Nizamuddin is murdered. And now this letter.
2:45 AM
Sajib, Ayan, Sohag, Shamim, and Hridoy are returning from a nightclub. Suddenly, Sajib sees someone sitting on a bike in the middle of the road, one leg crossed over the other. The stranger is wearing a long hat, a mask with the mouth area cut out, a long jacket, black pants, and black boots. He is calmly smoking a cigarette.
Sajib honks, but the stranger doesn't move. Furious, Sajib gets out of the car.
...
Who the hell are you? Why are you blocking the road?
The stranger remains silent. The dogs nearby start barking. Sajib reaches for the stranger's collar, but the stranger suddenly stands up and delivers a powerful slap to Sajib. The others rush out of the car, but the stranger pulls out an M500 revolver and shoots Shamim in the leg.
Shamim screams in pain. Everyone backs off in terror.
...
(laughing loudly): So, I heard you guys enjoy ragging students at the university?
...
If you ever do it again... this time it was just a leg. Next time, a hot bullet will blow your skull open. I give everyone two chances. The first time I explain... the second time, I cool the head with a bullet
The stranger rides off into the darkness. Shamim faints from the pain. They rush him to the hospital, and because he is the Mayor's son, he gets treated despite it being a police case. Sajib wonders... who was that 'Stranger' who vanished into the night? What is this mystery?
murder
After two days, Rafi returns to the university. Almost immediately, he crosses paths with Sajib’s gang. Rafi tries to pass them with his head bowed, but Sajib calls out to him.
...
Hey, I can't seem to remember your name.
rafi
Brother, my name is Rafi Hasan.
Sajib stands up and delivers a stinging slap to Rafi’s cheek.
...
First of all, you didn't salute your seniors. Second, I asked how you were out of kindness, and you didn't bother to ask me back.
rafi
It won't happen again, brother.
...
See that it doesn't. Now get out of here.
Rafi walks away toward his classes, hand on his cheek and head down. Lost and unsure which room is his, he hears a female voice calling from behind. Six girls are sitting under a tree. One of them, Sneha, gestures to him
..
Hey, Blue Shirt! Come here.
..
Hey, Blue Shirt! Come here.Don’t look around, I’m talking to you. Come here
rafi
Did you call me, sister?
..
Yes. What’s your name? And why do you come to university dressed like this?
rafi
I don’t have any other clothes besides these.
..
A girl named Mira chimes in mockingly.
..
What, you don't have money for good clothes? Here's an idea: sit at the university gate with a bowl. People will give you money, and then you can buy decent clothes.
The group bursts into laughter. Rafi adjusts his glasses and stands silently. Another girl, Riya, asks what year he is in.
..
Then you’re our junior. Take this paper and give it to that girl in the white dress over there.
rafi
Sister, what is written on this paper?
..
Just deliver it! Why so many questions? Go, hurry up!
Rafi takes the paper and calls out to the girl. When she turns around, Rafi realizes it’s the same girl who slapped him the other day. He instinctively touches his cheek.
rafi
Sister, a girl under that tree asked me to give this to you.
Nusrat takes the paper and reads it. As soon as she finishes, she slaps Rafi hard.
rafi
Sister, why did you hit me? What did I do?
..
You don't know? How dare you write a love letter to me!
rafi
Sister, I didn't write it. I don't even know you. Those girls over there told me to give it to you. I didn't know what was in it.
..
There are no girls over there now. Why would girls give me a love letter? Do you think I'm crazy? Get lost!
Rafi walks away, eventually finding his classroom. No one sits near him. During the lecture, the professor notices him.
...
You in the back row, stand up. Are you new? What’s your name?
rafi
Yes sir, I’m new. My name is Rafi Hasan. I transferred from Chittagong University.
...
Why is your attire in such a state?
rafi
"Those who have never suffered in life cannot easily perceive the pain of the sorrowful. How can someone who lives in luxury feel the burning heart of the poor?" Sir, I have to work hard to earn money, and I have to survive the month on very little. I don't have the money for better clothes.
Rafi wipes his eyes. The professor, moved, blesses him, saying he will go far in life. After class, other boys start mocking him, and unable to take it, Rafi leaves and sits by the pond, muttering:
rafi
In this city of many colors and many people, only the muffled cries of my alley go unheard."
In the police station, Raj is reviewing files. Meherab enters his cabin.
mehrab
Raj, how far have you come with the case?
raj
Sir, let me tell you something. "Truly wise and learned people do not need self-promotion." Let everyone stay where they are, only then will their true nature emerge.
mehrab
Raj, I don't understand what you're trying to say. Explain it to me.
raj
Let it be, Sir. Some things don't need to be understood. I know you love mind games too, so the meaning won't remain a mystery to you for long. Let's keep things a bit mysterious.
raj
Raj exits the cabin with a cryptic, mysterious smile.
10:10 PM
Sabbir and Rahat are sitting face-to-face in a secluded area outside the city. The only sounds are crickets and distant jackals.
...
Rahat, this deal is worth a 4-crore profit. I don't want to miss it.
...
It's important to me too, but... Salman Bhai doesn't want you causing trouble. Only then will you get the deal.
...
I won't. Take your bag and give me mine.
As they exchange bags and prepare to leave, a motorcycle pulls up. The Stranger is sitting comfortably on it, legs crossed, smoking. He wears a long hat, rockstar mask, black boots, and a jacket.
...
Who are you? Why are you here?
...
The stranger just laughs. Rahat pulls out his gun, but the stranger crushes his cigarette and says calmly,
...
Aha, what's the rush? Let's sit and talk peacefully."
...
I want a 65% share of this deal.
...
And if we don't give you even 1%?"
...
What if in a few minutes you're holding my feet, begging me to take a 90% share?
...
Rahat points his gun at the stranger’s head. The stranger just laughs louder.
Sabbir and Rahat turn around to see their men falling one by one. Bullets are piercing foreheads and chests. A sniper is at work. The area falls into a deadly silence, littered with bodies. Moments later, Sabbir and Rahat are at the stranger’s feet.
...
Brother, take all the money. Just let us live.
...
: Didn't I say you'd be begging at my feet?
The stranger stands up, pulls his trigger, and pumps five bullets into Sabbir’s chest. Rahat begins to cry, holding the stranger's feet.
...
I won't kill you. Go tell Salman: "An enemy can be trusted, but a traitor cannot." I will play in your city, and I will kill you in your own style.
The stranger vanishes into the darkness on his bike.
6:20 AM
Raj is woken up by the cawing of crows. He tries to sleep but gives up and goes to the rooftop. The cool morning air and the rising sun soothe him.
rimi
"What are you doing on the roof so early?"
Raj turns to see Rimi. She looks like a "yellow fairy"—stunningly beautiful with long hair and an innocent face.
raj
I woke up early and came up here. My mood has improved now.
raj
I haven't really talked to you since I arrived. Why are you up so early?
rimi
I come here every morning to feel the environment.
raj
Are you angry with me for some reason?
rimi
Yes, I can't stand you. You took my favorite room because of my father. Don't touch my things in there. I'm only tolerating you because of him.
raj
Why argue in such a beautiful morning?
rimi
I'll argue for my things!
raj
Listen, "The wise do not quarrel among themselves."
Raj whistles as he heads downstairs.
Later, Meherab calls Raj after hearing news of 7 bodies found outside the city.
mehrab
Raj, one murder after another is happening. I suspect the Rafians did this. Sabbir, a big drug dealer and a close associate of CM Farhad, was among the dead. No one would dare kill him.
raj
Maybe Sabbir got greedy and betrayed his people, and a mysterious stranger took him out.
While walking to the university, Rafi hears cries for help. He sees six armed men harassing a man. Rafi tries to call for help on an old button-phone, but there's no network. He approaches timidly.
rafi
I heard shouting and came to help...
...
You? You look like you haven't eaten in two days." Russel puts a gun to Rafi’s head. "Leave or die."
rafi
Why are you hitting him?
...
He did business in this city without paying 'tax' to Salman Bhai. I'm going to kill him as a gift for Salman.
rafi
Russel grabs Rafi's collar. Rafi whispers in his ear: "Grabbing my collar is like declaring war against a tiger."
Then, aloud, Rafi begs for mercy. Just as Russel is about to pull the trigger, a police jeep arrives. The thugs are captured.
The man is Anaf Chowdhury, one of the wealthiest businessmen in Dhaka.
...
You saved my life. What do you want?
rafi
It was my duty, Uncle. Just pray for me.
...
I won't take no for an answer. From now on, you will live with me in my house.
Rafi thinks about his current living situation and agrees. He steps aside to make a phone call, smiling, and then leaves with Anaf.
ramadan
Light clouds gather in the sky, cooling the atmosphere. The balcony door is open, letting in a chilly breeze that brings a sense of strange comfort. Rimi stands there, thinking about Raj. He is serious and reserved, yet she feels he is a good person at heart. Since he moved in, he hasn’t once looked at her with anything but respect—a rare quality in men these days
9:30 PM
Nusrat speaks to her father, Anaf Chowdhury.
..
Dad, Mom said you rented out the attic room?"
...
"No, not rented," Anaf replies. "I let a boy stay there. He’s a good kid. If it weren't for him, who knows what would have happened to me today? He saved me from terrorists. It’s hard to find such brave boys now, so I gave him the empty attic."
Nusrat Chowdhury, Anaf’s only daughter, hasn't yet seen who this mysterious guest is.
Outside, the thunder has stopped, replaced by a soothing drizzle. The city feels washed clean. Rafi sits on the rooftop, enjoying the peace. “

rafi
This city is colorful and blinding,” he thinks, “but my world is dark like me. People here chase money and have no mercy for the poor.”
The next morning, Nusrat goes to the roof and is shocked. Standing there is the "village trash" boy from her university.
..
What are you doing here?!
rafi
Sister? You... what are you doing here?
..
I live here! Why are you here?
rafi
Anaf Uncle let me stay here.
..
So you are the one Dad was talking about. Listen, I am Nusrat Chowdhury, daughter of Anaf Chowdhury
..
“If anyone at the university finds out this loser lives in my house, my reputation is over. I have to get him out of here.
rafi
No one can stand the poor.
[Ramadan Special Scene]
The holy month of Ramadan has begun. Even in the heat of the investigation, the atmosphere in the city changes. At 4:00 AM, the sound of the Sehri siren echoes through Dhaka.
In Meherab’s house, the dining table is set. Despite their friction, Rimi brings a plate of dates and handmade bread to Raj’s room for Sehri.
rimi
Eat. My father said you shouldn't fast on an empty stomach since you work so hard at the station.
raj
Thank you, Rimi. Ramadan Kareem.
For a moment, the tension between them melts under the spiritual peace of the pre-dawn hour.
Meanwhile, in the attic, Rafi breaks his fast later in the evening with a single glass of water and a humble date, looking out at the city lights. He realizes that while the rich have lavish Iftar parties, the true essence of the fast—patience and sacrifice—is felt most by those who have nothing.
Meherab tells Rimi that Raj will be dropping her at the university from now on because the city isn't safe. After dropping her, Raj heads to the station and finds Meherab talking to Iqbal.
Iqbal stands up immediately upon seeing Raj. Meherab notices this.
mehrab
Why are you standing, Iqbal? Sit.
...
Sir, I must leave. I'll contact you later.
mehrab
A high-level hacker. He’s going to help us track the bank heist.
raj
Will he really be able to find the hacker, Sir?”
At the university, Riya and her friends spot Rafi in his worn-out yellow shirt.
..
Leave him alone. He saved my dad, so if we rag him, he might complain.
..
We have a simple task for you. Propose to Shadia right now.
rafi
What?! This low-life is going to propose to me?
..
Let’s just see what he does.
Rafi stands frozen as they mock him. Just as the tension peaks, a black bike roars into the campus. The rider is Rakib, the powerful VP of the university, whom everyone fears like death. Rakib stops in front of them. He looks at Rafi, and for a split second, Rafi gives him a subtle signal with his eyes. Rakib understands immediately.
..
Nothing, brother. Just chatting.
..
Go to class. And you, boy, leave.
As Rafi walks away, he glances back at Rakib with a mysterious smile. Rakib watches him, wondering what Rafi is planning.
Inspector Saiful brings a clue from the murder site of Sabbir’s gang. He hands Meherab two glass marbles.
After Saiful leaves, Meherab pulls out an article titled "Mafia King." It mentions:
...
Rafin always rolls two marbles in his hand to stay calm while playing mind games." Meherab is now certain—the killer is Rafin. No one else would dare touch Sabbir.
At 2:00 AM, Rafi goes out for his nightly walk (with Anaf’s permission). He thinks about the "night-fairies" (women of the night) and the cruelty of the city. Suddenly, a 10-year-old boy named Munna runs up to him, breathless.
...
Brother, please help! They took my mother away!
Rafi follows Munna to a small shack. Munna explains that his father is blind and his mother works at night to feed them. Tonight, three men dragged her away.
...
Everyone calls my mother a "prostitute." No one at school talks to me.
rafi
Your mother will be back by morning. Take her to the station and file a case.
...
Brother, I sell flowers all day. I saw you at the college the other day.
Rafi pats the boy's head and walks back, disappearing into the darkness. The city is heartless, but the Mastermind is watching.
