(Madhav) Your fight isn't just against the people
in this police station
but with the entire system.
I didn't do anything.
There was some tension between Raj bhaiya
- and Roshni didi during the party. - (glass shatters)
Will Kadamb-ji be able to fight this case against Madhav Mishra?
To save our client, we will need to cast suspicion
on either his wife or his daughter.
(coroner) The precision suggests it was a small, sharp weapon.
What we're assuming to be a blade is actually a scalpel.
(vehicle honks)
Did you collect the trash from Dr. Raj Nagpal's house
- on the day of the murder? - Yes.
(Ravi) We won't find a live human around here.
How can we find that small scalpel here?
(door creaks)
(Roshni) Sometimes, even amidst the dense woods
some trees find themselves standing apart.
They stand alongside others,
but, deep within, they feel like they are all alone.
But even in that loneliness,
the sun and shade reassure them
that despite being different,
they add to the beautiful diversity of the jungle.
These trees...
Are they happy?
(soft music)
(liquid pours)
What were you reading?
It sounded interesting.
Ah... Er...
That...
sometimes, even if we're different,
it doesn't mean we're alone.
You know, we are all part of a larger picture,
no matter how different we are.
Something like that.
That's some thought.
(Roshini chuckles)
Ira...
has started to like you.
I'm glad.
Good night.
By the way... er...
it may not be my place to ask this, but...
Ira sometimes
asks me about Anju-ji.
I don't know what to say to her.
- I'm sorry. I probably shouldn't-- - No.
It's fine.
Look, we're...
Basically, she has moved out.
We're separated, and...
we're considering filing for a divorce.
But since you've come, things are much better now.
The environment has become better.
Drinks?
One?
- Do you love me? - (crowd cheers)
(glass shatters )
(title music)
(cell phone vibrates)
(mimics playful tune)
(child laughs)
- You've got a call. - Hmm. Yes, Ravi?
Good morning, ma'am.
Good morning. What's the news?
Madam, the truck that picks up trash from Nagpal's building
doesn't belong to the municipality.
It's private. 355 trucks
from the H ward pick up trash from there every day.
We're lucky in that sense.
How many municipality trucks are there?
- Over a thousand, madam. - Oh, my God.
We are indeed lucky.
Yes, madam.
We've also identified where the trash is dropped.
We've isolated that area. Now...
Dog squad?
Yes, the dog squad is on its way.
We've put the gold detectors to work until then.
Good.
Now, find that scalpel by any means necessary, Ravi.
Our entire case depends on it.
Yes, madam, don't worry.
Okay, Ravi.
Okay.
Try this. It's spicy, isn't it?
Ravi, what happened? What did madam say?
She said we have to find the scalpel by any means.
By any means? What does that mean?
Should we turn into dogs ourselves?
It will take a lifetime to find that scalpel in this garbage.
Turn into a dog or even a cat if you have to,
but we don't have an entire lifetime to find that scalpel.
(sombre music)
Ira?
I want to go to school.
My piano test is today.
(thuds)
Hmm. What?
Just ask, or you'll continue to look this stressed. Go on.
How do you know I want to ask you something?
We've been married for many years now.
If I were unable to spot your bubbling curiosity by now,
what good a lawyer would I be?
And this hobby of yours of expecting an answer
without asking the question is definitely a skill I need to learn.
(Madhav chuckles)
Go ahead, ask.
Well, I was wondering...
Uh...
What is quid pro quo?
Where did you read this? Did you find this
- in the magazines at the salon? - (Ratna tsks) No.
I came across it in one of your books in the office.
I see. That's a serious matter.
Sit, let's have some table-talk. Come.
Well, since I'm in your office so much these days,
I thought I should read up about a few laws myself as well.
- Hmm. - The salon magazines
are sadly unavailable there after all.
So, I wanted to know what this "quid pro quo" is.
It is somewhat like our marriage.
- Sweet and salty? - No.
Just like where, on the one hand, you took my hand in marriage...
- Hmm. - ...but with your other hand
you forced Deep's hand into mine.
This act of taking with one hand and giving from the other
is called quid pro quo.
Hey...
Why are you always after Deep?
What has he done?
There wouldn't be a problem if he had indeed done something.
He's been working from home for the last three days.
His phone is not reachable either.
Seems like he's smoked some weed
and taken refuge atop a mountain
to contemplate the meaning of life.
You are the one who instructed him to get information about Roshni.
That's what the poor guy must be doing, with all his heart and soul.
All he does with his heart and soul is ruin my peace of mind.
Do you scold Shivani this way too,
or do you only have issues with my poor brother?
You see, Ratna, Shivani hails from a privileged background.
Her life will go by with ease.
But our Mr. Deep will not shine
until his nose is put to the grindstone.
He spends his entire day with his head in the clouds.
He's bound to. He's a young man.
The men of my family are not boring like you.
- They are romantics. - I see.
He must be madly in love with some girl.
- (autorickshaw idling) - (intense music)
(thermometer beeping)
It's normal.
You're sure you're feeling okay, right?
Yeah, I'm good now.
Good.
Come on, let's go.
Death...
Mom, what's death?
(tense music)
Have you...
heard about death before?
Hmm.
Death...
Death is the end of the life
of a person.
Yes.
So...
When
our body stops working
or... stops moving
or breathing,
it's called death.
Does this happen to everyone?
Mm-hmm.
One day, all of us die.
Some people die of illness,
some die of injury.
Will they no longer be with us then?
No.
Roshni didi...
Will she never come back?
No, Ira.
Roshni didi won't come back.
But...
we can keep all of Roshni didi's happy memories
with us.
Here and here.
(ominous music)
You miss her?
Shall we?
Come.
(cars honking)
- Anju? Hi! - Hi.
How are you?
I mean, I'm so sorry.
I wanted to reach out, but...
It's okay.
Are you okay?
(woman 1) Aren't they
Raj Nagpal's wife and daughter?
(woman 2) Yes, they look like them.
Uh... If you don't mind, could you please excuse us, Madhu?
- Yeah, sure. - Thank you.
- I need to rush, too. - Yeah, sure.
Okay, my darling.
I know you're scared.
But you can be scared and strong at the same time, right?
That's my girl.
So, you remember what to say if anyone asks about Dad?
"No comment."
Great.
Now, Grandma will come and pick you up,
and I'm going to see you back at home. Okay?
No comment.
Go.
(student) Look, the freak is back.
(boys chuckle)
I saw Ira's drawing book.
She had drawn Roshni's picture in it.
It looked scary.
She was on the floor with blood all around her head.
And Ira was the only person at home the entire time that day.
Perhaps she witnessed the crime, sir.
Or...
perhaps Ira was the reason behind the crime, sir.
But either way, how does Dr. Mistry fit into this theory?
He doesn't really, but Raj and Roshni
met Dr. Mistry regarding Ira's illness.
Is it important?
No, but it's a good excuse to meet with Ira's doctor.
We might find something.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
(door creaks)
- Good morning, ma'am. - (teacher) Good morning.
Good morning, ma'am.
I hope everyone is ready for the test.
(students) Yes, ma'am.
(teacher) Everyone pair up to make teams of two.
Rishabh and Ankush, Shreya and Kiara, come on.
So, look at the three songs on the sheets on your desks.
You have to play any one of those songs.
- Okay? - Miss?
Yes, Ira?
I don't have a partner.
That's okay.
You can play alone.
Again. (chuckles)
We first checked her for pancreatic cancer.
Why cancer?
I found it unusual too.
But Raj insisted, so I didn't refuse.
So, what was the problem?
The problem still persists.
Hypoglycaemia.
- Okay. - Ira has low blood sugar.
But nothing too serious.
She'll be fine soon.
(sighs)
I still can't believe it.
I met Raj and Roshni just one day before the incident.
And a day after the incident, everyone thinks
that Raj killed Roshni.
Since when have you known Raj-ji?
We were batchmates.
I've known Raj for more than half my life, Madhav-ji.
He could never do this.
And he loved Roshni.
If you were the judge, our lives would be easier.
Well, there are other ways
in which you could help Raj-ji and us.
Of course, anything you want.
What can you tell us about Ira?
What do you want to know?
Does she have a history of violent behaviour or aggression?
Hold on a second, Madhav-ji.
What are you trying to say?
No, I just wanted to ask whether Ira--
What? Murdered Roshni?
Are you crazy, Madhav-ji?
Ira is a 13-year-old child,
who loved Roshni immensely.
And if your defence begins with this theory, Madhav-ji,
then I'm really worried for Raj right now.
(clears throat) Okay.
I'm sorry, Dr. Mistry, but is it true
that kids and teenagers who have Asperger's
are often known to be aggressive?
Is it true?
It's true.
But Ira has been in therapy all her life.
She has Raj and Roshni's support.
She's not a violent child.
And neither is her father.
Now, if you'd excuse me.
(tense music)
Well, that escalated quickly.
Right?
(playing classical music)
Very good.
Ira?
You're next.
(playing classical music)
(message beeps)
Come on.
(instrumental music)
- There. Now, that's a team of two! - (kids laughing)
Now, she won't be lonely.
(playing piano off-key)
(kids continue laughing)
(tense music)
(Ira breathes heavily)
(soft music)
Raj.
Raj!
Can you hear me?
How are you?
(sombre music)
Ira?
She's adjusting.
What did you tell her?
That you'll return home soon.
(sombre music)
Don't bring her here.
And tell her that I miss her and I love her.
(soft music)
Sir, do you seriously think Kadamb sir
will be able to tackle Madhav Mishra?
I mean, his entire strategy is this... dramatic pause.
That's not fair.
Very harsh of you.
Kadamb is a good lawyer.
Sir, sure, but he cannot win against Madhav Mishra.
And you think you can win
against your Madhav Mishra?
- Sir-- - Look,
I don't doubt your capabilities.
Then what is it, sir?
Your intentions.
We're here to get the victims justice,
not to take revenge or teach someone a lesson.
Sir, I hold no personal grudges against Madhav Mishra.
I'm going to be strictly professional about it.
I too want to see the murderers punished.
All I'm saying is the opposing counsel will steal this case
from right under our noses, and we will stand helpless.
I've fought a case against him.
I understand Madhav Mishra's strategy.
Please appoint me as a special prosecutor in this case.
Please, sir, please.
I shall think about it.
(indistinct chatter)
(door opens)
(Ira) Teams of two. Teams of two...
(muttering)
Some kids bullied her in school, and she lost her temper.
Why didn't you call me?
I thought I could handle it.
Since when has she been like this?
- For hours now. - Ira.
Teams of two...
- Teams of two... - Ira.
They said she should stay at home for two weeks.
If Roshni were here, she'd have handled it by now.
(continues) Teams of two...
(doorbell rings)
Oh, you're back.
What happened? Is something wrong?
Hey...
- Okay, listen-- - You listen... Tell me something.
The twitching of which eye is considered a good omen?
- Left or right? - Which eye is twitching?
Both my eyes are twitching.
You tell me which one is lucky.
I'll stop the other one from twitching.
- Well-- - (Shaurya) Mishra-ji.
(Ratna) I've been trying to tell you
that Shaurya-ji has been waiting for you.
Wow!
Amazing! So that explains it.
(Shaurya) You have a lovely secretary.
Secretary, CEO, COO, MD, she's everything.
She said you were at the hospital.
Yes, I was.
I had a chest infection, that's why.
You met a paediatrician named Arsh Mistry
on this Nagpal case.
Well, when you're at a hospital and you run into a doctor you know,
they don't let you leave without conducting a few tests.
- He caught hold of me! - Stop this drama, Mishra-ji.
I think we're at a crossroads now
where on the one hand stands
this murder case, which you don't want to let go of,
and on the other is our law firm, CLU.
What is this?
The result of your deeds.
You're representing a doctor
who's been charged with the murder of
his mistress, a nurse.
Do you have any idea how many pharmaceutical
and medical companies we represent?
So, you're firing me from CLU?
For now, I'm simply offering you a choice.
CLU prides itself
on being associated with
some of the most ethically working pharmaceutical companies.
It's our job to keep their image clean.
And your association with this doctor
could tarnish the reputation of our clients and their firms.
And what if my doctor turns out to be innocent?
It doesn't matter, Madhav-ji.
The stigma of murder will never be erased
even if he turns out to be innocent.
Anyway, you're going to lose this case.
(tense music)
Uh...
You have the entire day.
Think about which path you want to take.
Hmm? See you around.
(message beeps)
(door opens)
(door shuts)
- Shivani-ji... - Ratna-ji.
Turn that on. He's on.
- Who's on now? - There...
- Turn what on? - This.
A new lead has been discovered
in the Roshni Saluja murder case.
In order to tie up loose ends quickly,
the police have ignored a very strong motive.
Lust. That's right, lust.
Monu, aka Manish Kumar, is a cleaner in the same building
where Roshni Saluja was murdered.
If sources are to be believed,
Monu is an outright pervert,
who likes to record obscene videos of women without consent.
Monu's job every morning was to take out the trash
from the building.
It goes to say that Monu,
after the crime, could have easily rid the scene of the murder weapon
because only he had complete and free access
to not just the building, but every apartment in it.
It is evident that the police
have overlooked this important aspect...
(news continues indistinctly)
That monster killed poor Roshni.
Thank God!
Now the world will know that my son is innocent.
(siren wailing)
(indistinct chatter)
- Back away! - Move, please!
(crowd clamouring)
Move. Sit.
- Where's Gauri? - She's on her way.
Send her to me as soon as she comes.
- Yes, sir. - Who leaked information
- about him to the media? - Sir...
I did it!
You?
Yes, you left me and went upstairs the other day.
(Madhav) Where?
You went to meet Anju and Ira.
- Deep. - Yes?
Wait here. I'll go with Shivani.
- But, brother-in-law... - (Madhav) Let's go.
(Deep) But I am not one to be disheartened.
That's when I noticed defaulter number one, Mr. Monu.
- (Ravi) Stop! - (Gauri) Hey!
What's your name? What's your name?
- Monu. - Monu.
(Gauri) Do you pick up garbage at this exact time every day?
As soon as I set my eyes on him, I knew he was up to no good.
(upbeat music)
And that was that. I decided to tail him.
(upbeat music continues)
A pervert's perversion can't remain hidden
no matter how hard he may try.
What do you want?
Everything about him.
(Deep) I didn't find anything about Monu in the police records.
But one who remains determined is bound to succeed sometime.
I thought, since I had come this far,
I should hit the victory sixer myself.
I'm sending you a video. Take a look at it. Yes.
(upbeat music)
So, I sent this video to my friend in the media.
What are you saying?
This pervert Monu works in that same building?
As soon as I threw in the bait, he grabbed it like a hungry vulture
and I won the match.
Amazing, Deep!
You are incredible!
I know you won't pat me on my back,
so I'll just satisfy myself seeing your eyes shine with pride.
(upbeat musical sting)
Sit down. Come.
What do you see in my eyes?
What do you see?
Pride.
You fool, if my eyes had any power, I'd have burnt you to ashes by now.
You idiotic buffoon! You dimwit!
Hey, what's the matter?
Why are you yelling at him?
He has only helped you.
He has not helped me. He has helped the police.
Brother-in-law, I only did what you would have done.
Listen, don't try to imitate me
using this half-baked understanding.
Trying to act too smart.
(Ratna) Hold on...
Lawyer saheb, please explain this to me.
If the suspicion falls on Monu, it'll only help Raj-ji.
- Yes. - Ratna-ji.
We would have done this in court.
We could have destroyed the police investigation
and created reasonable doubt.
Instead, now he has given the police extra time to prepare.
You have ruined everything.
I'll tell you what. Go, give an interview
saying how you've made me proud. The biggest idiot I've ever seen.
Brother-in-law, if the media pressure
falls on the police's shoulders,
the matter is bound to go to court.
Deep...
A good lawyer
doesn't show his cards before the right moment.
And you, in excitement, have not just revealed your cards
but completely exposed yourself.
(siren wails)
(bike whirrs)
(door shuts)
Sir.
Monu's phone.
Open the gallery.
(tense music)
Out of all of these obscene photographs of women,
most of the photographs are Roshni's.
That pervert had complete access to the building.
And we were busy looking through
his discarded trash for the murder weapon.
During the crime, Monu was in the same building.
Sir, Roshni wasn't sexually assaulted.
He has photographs of her on his phone!
Photos from the night of the party.
The suspect was right in front of us,
and we learnt about this from a worthless reporter!
Gauri, how did you miss this?
Sir, I'll interrogate Monu today and clear everything.
- It's too late now. - Sir--
To lead this case, I have now appointed a senior inspector.
Sir, please don't. I'll handle it.
I had no choice.
(bike whirrs)
(suspenseful music)
You have to report to him.
Right, sir.
- And, Gauri... - Sir.
Don't take this personally.
But it's your ex-husband, Harsh Pradhan.
(tense music)
Sir, why Harsh?
Because he has the means
to make even the mute sing.
Sir.
(door opens)
Jai Hind, sir.
Jai Hind.
The file is ready, sir, and...
all the details are also on the board.
If you have any doubts, you can--
There will be no doubts.
You have prepared the file. I'm sure everything will be clear.
Gauri, I'm sorry I didn't want to get involved in your running case.
- Salian sir said-- - You had to. I know.
(soft music)
(wood clatters)
(exhales harshly)
Kadamb-ji, all the best.
(scoffs) What do you mean? The case is over.
The prime suspect has changed.
Who?
Someone named Monu.
He picks up garbage from the building.
We work so hard to bring the rich down.
But who does it turn out to be?
Someone like this Monu.
Waste of time.
(news anchor) Monu, aka Manish Kumar...
Ratna, this case isn't as simple as it seems.
Or else it wouldn't have come my way.
If you wanted to work on simple cases,
you should have continued working with CLU.
Right. I am at a crossroads, where the path to CLU
seems like the easier and safer one, Ratna.
This choice is between your heart and your mind,
not between CLU and this case.
So, think about what you want to listen to,
your heart or your mind.
(news continues indistinctly)
(doorbell rings)
(door creaks)
(car honks)
(soft, happy music)
(thuds)
(groans and screams)
I didn't do anything, sir.
I'm telling you the truth. I didn't kill Roshni ma'am, sir.
You pervert!
Disgusting old pervert! This is such a common term now, no?
Let's coin a new one for you.
Lecherous swine!
Come on.
(grunts)
(thuds)
I do this every day, Monu.
You'll tire of crying, but I won't tire of beating you up.
(coughs)
So speak the truth, now. Why did you do it?
(Monu coughs)
Water...
Why did you take pictures of her from every angle
of whatever she was doing?
What did you do on the morning of 12th September? Tell me.
Water...
You asshole!
- Motherfucker-- - No, sir, sorry, please...
(intriguing music)
(door opens, shuts)
- Gauri ma'am. - Hmm?
I've found a video on Monu's cloud account.
I've watched it. I think we can use this video.
- Show me. - Here.
So, Monu is left-handed.
Yes, sir.
I've confirmed it myself, sir.
And as per the forensics report,
the murderer was right-handed.
(coroner) This cut is from left to right.
(Gauri) So, the attacker is right-handed?
Sir, I'm not saying
that Monu's involvement in the murder is not possible.
But the odds of him having committed the murder are unlikely.
Sir, we have one more lead.
We found this on Monu's cloud account.
(upbeat music)
Raj and Anju?
When was this video taken?
(Gauri) Two weeks before Roshni was murdered.
But it's been over a year since they separated.
This information must not leave this room.
Am I clear?
(Gauri) Yes, sir.
(Harsh) Yes, sir.
(dramatic music)
