Cold water.

- Sprinkle cold water on his face.
- We don't have cold water, sir.

Then go buy some.

All the shops are shut by now, sir.

This water is fine.

Afnan?

Afnan.

Afnan?

Hey.

Go.

Why didn't you tell me who you are?

No one here knows
that you're Afnan Chowdhury.

Had I been properly informed,
wouldn't I rush over?

I was patrolling when they told me
about a hit-and-run case...

and asked me to come over quickly
but when I came...

What a shame...

This is not a hit-and-run case.

I didn't run over anyone.

No, why would you?

I was talking about my officers.
Their lack of information.

Can I get my phone back?

I'll tell them to return it.

Would you like to have something?

Anything?

Nothing.

Well...

I should offer you
what you're used to drinking.

But this is a police station.
I can't offer it even if I want to.

Soft drinks?

Any cold drinks?

Huh?

Our fridge isn't working...
But it's okay.

I'll call for some ice.

A few minutes of cold compress
will make it better.

How is Alamgir sir?

Yes...

No problem.
Don't worry.

Yeah.

Let's see when I get off.

Don't stay up.
Go to sleep.

I'm hanging up.
I'll get back to work.

Bye.

Go to that desk.

- Good evening.
- Good evening.

What is it?

Tell me from the beginning.
In detail.

Tell you what from the beginning?

From the...
Okay, I'll help you.

You weren't driving...

Or were you?

I was driving.

Oh!

You were driving...

Where did you go?

Must have been an invitation.

A wedding?

Or a party?

Oh, yes.
A party.

I'm sure there were drinks.

Whiskey and all, huh?

You have to start talking, brother.

It won't do if you keep quiet.

And you have to give me the truth.

Listen...

never hide the truth
from your mother and the police.

Now tell me.

Tell me honestly.

I was...

at a party.

Yes.

I was bored.

Hello, Afnan!

And I'm the most...

harmless guy you can ever find.

You come to my party
and piss me off?

Afnan?

Where are you going?
Are you leaving?

I was so bored, I left.

Alone?

Or with someone?

I was alone.

Okay, I'm on my way.
Bye.

F♪♪k!

Hey...

Oh come on!

This is just an accident case.
What can I do?

It's an ordinary case.

Okay, I'll tell them.
Don't worry.

You people never start at the beginning.
This is the problem.

No need to hide anything.

Then things can be solved easily.

There was an accident in Rahmatganj
some time ago today.

An SUV hit a bicycle.

It happened in front of me.
I was standing right there.

I forgot my phone at home
so I couldn't record it.

I see.

- You witnessed it, right?
- Yes.

Okay.
Tell me in detail.

Okay. Please wait here.

Don't go anywhere.
Stay here.

POLICE

HARUN UR RASHID
OFFICER IN CHARGE

Sir.

- Yes?
- I need to talk to you, sir.

Come in.
Tell me.

In private, sir.

Private?

Okay.

Please wait.

Sorry, sir.

I couldn't say it in front of him
so I asked you to step out.

It's okay.
Tell me.

Afnan Chowdhury is lying, sir.

He claims that the bicycle was coming
from the wrong side...

and that he hit it by mistake.

But what happened
is the exact opposite.

The bicycle was on the right side.
Along the pavement.

He was coming from the wrong side
and crashed into the bicycle.

- Are you sure?
- Yes, sir.

Who told you?

I have a witness downstairs.
He told me.

Why was this witness out
so late at night?

He went to buy medicines.

The incident happened in front of him.

Have you recorded his statement?

No, not yet.

I've just spoken to him.

Hmm...

Okay, let's talk to him.
Come.

Yes, sir.

POLICE

Sir, this is him.

Tell me.

Excuse me?

He is the OC.

Tell him everything you saw.

I... was walking home.

The roads were mostly deserted.

I know all that.
Identify yourself.

I'm Shanto.

I work at an IT firm
as an HR executive.

Where do you stay?

Moylar Dipo.

Oh.

Who else is there?
Family?

My family is in Sylhet.
I share a room with a colleague here.

I see.

Why were you there at that hour?

I went to buy medicines.

- What medicine?
- For gastric problems.

- You have gastric problems?
- Yes.

Do you smoke?

Drink?

It's okay, we've done all that
in college life too.

Uh...

Shanto.

So you're certain that the owner
of the SUV outside...

- was at the accident spot?
- Yes.

- And that car ran over the bicycle?
- Yes.

Hmm.

So you were at the accident spot.
You saw it happen.

Why didn't you come to us immediately?
Where were you all this time?

I was a little scared.

I was at home.

Later I thought
I should inform the police, so...

So, you came here
like a responsible citizen.

- Right?
- Yes.

That's what we want.

Good.
Very good.

The person against who
you're going to give your statement...

which we'll record...

That's our job.

But what if they turn it against you?

Have you... considered that?

Will you be able to fight them?

They're so powerful.

Even the police is nothing to them.

They'll prove you were drunk.

You do drink.
That's true.

Do you know who
Afnan Chowdhury's father is?

He's competing in the upcoming elections.
Might become a minister.

He's the most influential
in the government circuit.

I don't think you know.

- Come, let's record your statement.
- No.

See the kids these days?

He's drunk.

It's clearly an accident.

He was making up stories.
Saw how he ran away?

That idiot!

- Never around when you need him, that d♪♪k!
- Tea.

Don't need it.

Drink it.

Don't worry.

You aren't on their list.
They'll let you go.

Reached the police station?

Yes, sir, I'm here.

Harun is the Officer in Charge there.

Go to his room.

The OC is right in front of me, sir.

Talk to Harun.

He's an old hand.

There shouldn't be much hassle.

I'll let you know.

Where is Afnan?
Hope he's not in lockup.

No, sir.
He's pacing outside.

Wrap it up quickly
and get him home, Amzad.

I'm waiting.

Okay. I'll call you when I'm done, sir.

Bye.

Alamgir sir?

No.

I know he's a very...

I mean, he's a high-profile man.

I was fortunate enough to meet him once.

He was the chief guest at a
minister's programme and I was on duty.

Very nice person.
A fine man.

How is sir?

He's well.

How sad.

The son of a virtuous man
like Alamgir sir...

What a shame!

He's at the police station
for something like this.

And imagine my bad luck.

I can't help at all.

I'm really embarrassed.

And look at the boy's luck.

When he was brought in,
I wasn't here. I was...

Had I been here,
I would've resolved it right then.

It wouldn't drag this far.

Let's get to the point.

Yes, we need to have a plan in place.

That's fine...

Brother, some tea or cold drinks?

No need.

At least coffee?

It's your first visit here.

- Fine, coffee.
- Thank you.

- Sir.
- One coffee.

Hey, easy there.

Just sit here.

Uff!

New here?

I didn't do anything...

I swear I didn't do anything...

[indistinct screaming)

Don't be scared.

No!

Please don't hit me anymore!

Start screaming before they hit you.

This is how it works here.

If they beat you up
and you don't scream...

they'll hit you even more.

Why would they beat me?

I haven't done anything wrong.

They will.

If you come to the police station,
you get free beating.

Excuse me.

Can I get a glass of water?

Hey, give him water.

No.

Hey!

No, 20 isn't enough.

That won't do.

Why?

What are your expectations?

My expectations, you ask?

You're embarrassing me.

It's not in my hands.

If it was...

we wouldn't need to discuss money.

I'd feel fortunate to be
of any use to Alamgir Chowdhury.

Money can't solve everything.

This case isn't...

simple anymore.

How complicated is it?

It has become complicated.
Too many people know.

Where did you find witnesses
at midnight?

Brother...

Not everyone is cultured like you,
going to bed by 10 p.m.

This is the capital city.

The roads will never be deserted.

As far as I know,
at least three people have witnessed this.

Eye witnesses.

That's the problem.

And they didn't even tell me.

That it's Afnan Chowdhury.

The report has been filed.

It's out of my hands.

Twenty is too less, brother.

So what can be done?

I was calculating if
it can be settled within 50.

If it was earlier,
this wouldn't have been necessary.

Now there's trouble.

Some kids were protesting
a few days ago.

Everything has become difficult
since then.

Everyone has a phone these days...

everyone makes videos,
everyone's a journalist.

How many people can you manage?

Fine.

I'll talk to sir and let you know.

Yes, please.
Make him understand.

The more the delay,
the more complex the case will get.

Please tell him.

Dad, is he coming home?

He'll be back.

Go to sleep.

Instead of Amzad...

wouldn't it have been better
to send the lawyer?

I'll decide who's the best person to send.

Still...

What do you want?

For me to send everyone
and let the whole world know...

that my son is in police custody?

Don't worry.

Go to sleep.

Dad, did he really run over that man?

- How's it going?
- Good, sir.

My computer won't switch on.

- Take a look.
- Yes, sir.
