Take this.
I have been holding it in for so long.
There was too much traffic.
Yes, that was Karan.
I don't know what bladder issues he has.
So Pandey, you're done for the day, right?
Time to go home.
Sir, you told me to remind you about my salary.
Yes, I remember.
Laxmi, make some tea for everyone.
-It's ready, sir. -Go fetch it.
How much is it?
Sir 15,000 rupees for the month
and 5,000 rupees that you asked for in cash.
-That's total 20,000 rupees right? -Right.
Here.
And...
And do me a favour...
go to the market and get your car a phone stand.
It will be easier for you to look at the maps.
You're a driver but you don't remember the routes.
-Are you feeling okay? -Yes... yes, sir.
It was very good tea, sir!
Very good tea.
What time is your train tomorrow?
Tomorrow morning at 6.
-Then leave already. -Yes sir.
Take it easy and give my regards to your wife.
Bland tea.
Hi.
How was your day?
Nothing much. Same old.
I am sure something new happened. Tell me about it.
I saw you showing off today.
Show-off? When?
When I came out to get my charger from the dining table
I saw you counting money.
You were counting it like you were a money launderer.
Oh please.
I gave some money to a colleague.
He returned it today.
See? You're showing off again.
What do you mean show-off? That's a fact!
I am leaving, sister.
I will see you tomorrow.
Oh by the way,
I gave Laxmi her salary today.
So you need to give me 10,000 rupees.
I paid Pandey and you paid Laxmi.
It's the same thing. We'll adjust it later.
That's all we do.
Look... Pandey is your driver.
Laxmi works for both of us.
So you give 10 and I give 10.
Then we're even.
Open the door, Karan.
Open the door, Nithya.
Karan please!
Is it Laxmi?
But she comes at 10.
She hasn't been answering her phone for the last few days.
Who is it at this time?
Karan Nair?
No. I mean... Yes, Karan.
She is the Nair.
Inspector Khan.
This is Laxmi's husband Jaggu.
And this is Pandey's wife and his father.
We aren't here to ask their hand in marriage! Get to the point!
Laxmi and Pandey have been missing for the last 10 days.
In one day we received two missing complaints at our police station.
And what a coincidence. Both of them work for you.
No sir, Pandey took his family to Kerala, right?
Kerala? That's a lie!
Pandey's family is right here.
Sir... Laxmi could never do this.
Yeah...
So, Laxmi still comes to work every day?
No, I gave her a one week holiday.
But... I haven't been able to reach her phone for the last few days.
And you guys didn't think that was alarming?
I am sure. I am sure that witch seduced my husband, sir.
I bet your husband is the seducer. And I don't understand how she...
...likes that weakling. He is not even handsome like me.
Shut up. My husband doesn't even look at women.
He could never do something like this.
Yeah, well... if he has a beautiful and nice wife like you...
He has the right wife. Why would he look at anyone else?
Exactly, let's talk inside.
-Inside. -Yes, please.
So, you hired Laxmi?
-Yes, sir. -Could I get some tea?
Karan, we have a few questions for you.
Sir, wait right here I will go make some tea.
-Hey, this is important. -Yes.
-Sit. -I will do something.
I will get some tea.
How long has Pandey worked for you?
Three years.
How did you meet him?
-It was a nice meeting. -That's not what I meant.
How did he get the job?
He used to work at my friend's company.
I took him for a trial and then hired him. He is good at his job.
Have you ever thought that there was something suspicious
between him and Laxmi?
No sir, they both did their own jobs.
-Everything was normal. -Yeah,
sir, he did his job and got what he wanted.
Well said, sir.
Did you give Pandey any money recently?
Yes, he took his salary with him.
Oh God!
I bet that witch ran away with all of my money.
No, no. Don't cry. We will make more money.
We can always make more money. Yeah.
It's that easy...
Are you done? She isn't crying anymore.
Don't worry about the money.
Okay, send your wife. I need to ask her a few questions too.
Okay sir.
Check if you have biscuits too.
Nithya.
Nithya?
Yes?
I couldn't find the tea leaves so I am boiling the milk.
They're calling you outside. They have some questions for you.
Don't be scared. We did nothing wrong.
I am here.
I will get the tea. You go ahead.
When did you hire Laxmi?
One month ago.
Have you ever noticed anything between him and Pandey?
No sir, she was busy with chores at home.
When did you pay her salary?
A while back...
It has been a while, since he started making tea right?
It's here!
The tea is here.
Okay then.
So...
that's all for now.
You might need to come to the police station though.
Also your...
mobile number...
I already have that. See you.
I will send you the cup.
I will send it to you later.
What is this? Where is Pandey?
How would I know?
Come on. Connect already.
Were you able to connect to Laxmi?
Why can't my calls reach him?
Hey, he read my messages!
Should I call Dad?
He might know someone.
Your dad barely knows me.
I bet it's Pandey.
He is in a lot of trouble. He is gonna get it from me today.
Is this a good time to show up? He's making us go crazy.
What is this?
Sir, that's my slipper. What are you doing here at night?
I will come back tomorrow when it's convenient for you then.
What do you mean?
Do you know the law, Mr. Karan?
Yes, a little bit. Basic.
That... you'll be punished when you commit a crime.
Unless you're a politician.
Then you must also know,
that hiding information from the police is also a crime.
-What you did. -What did I do?
Pandey's train ticket.
Did you book it?
What is his wife's name here? Laxmi?
You knew that they were planning on running away.
And you helped them.
But when you found out that the police has now been involved,
you tipped them off.
And so they never went to Kerala.
Mr. Karan Matchmaker.
What is this nonsense?
Yes, I booked his tickets. But that was two weeks ago.
I forgot! It's not like his wife's name is Madhubala to remember it.
-Laxmi is such a common name. -Nonsense?
Because of what you did, these two want to sue you.
Sir, I knew it already.
Just look at his face. Just look. He looks like a criminal.
You will never find happiness after destroying a poor woman's home, sir.
But I am with you now.
-There's no need to worry. -You should have told them Karan.
Sir... listen to me.
Why should I listen to you madam?
Your husband will listen to you.
-Come on. Take him. -Take me where?
-The police station, where else? -Sir, no, no, no.
-Come on, let's go. -Hey, he's just kidding.
Why would I be kidding?
-Let's go. I don't want to. -Listen to me.
-Laxmi! -Pandey!
They're here sir.
Inspector...
Please don't arrest Karan sir.
It's not his fault, it's ours. He did nothing wrong.
When I found out that there is police at madam's place, I knew
that our family members wouldn't let them live in peace.
That was when we decided...
that we wouldn't run away and came back.
We are ready to apologize to our spouses and keep living with them.
Besides, there is nothing good about our lives.
Inspector.
I don't want to live with him anymore.
She means that... Mrs. Pandey is happy right here.
-What? -I... I love her.
But we were the ones who ran away together!
So, why did you come back?
What the hell are you saying?
Hey! Shut up!
Shut up!
You've turned this into a joke.
He is with her and she is with him.
You can be with whoever you want.
You stand up!
This is all your fault.
Matchmaker.
If any of you bother the police again...
I will break your bones.
Thinks he's handsome...
Move aside. Let's go.
-Don't show your face again. -Same goes for you.
Brother Karan,
I would like to apologize to you.
We will do whatever you want, sir.
Yes.
Well,
at least someone has the strength to stand with their love.
to take their own decisions.
To not worry about society
and live for yourself.
Go. Come to work tomorrow.
Goodnight sister.
-Let's go. -Goodnight brother.
Are you okay?
I honestly thought
that I would spend tonight in jail.
I would never let that happen.
