This is the final call
for all participants in the next round.
Swimmers,
please go to your starting block.
Go, Samaira!
Many of you are aspiring lawyers.
But a court is not a classroom.
There, justice is obtained
only by winning it.
And no one knows better
than Ikka how justice is won.
Just when everyone thinks a case is over,
he plays his ace of spades
and turns the case around.
Please welcome the unbeatable lawyer
in the city, Mr Arjun Mehra.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
Close your eyes,
and listen carefully to this case.
Late at night in Pune
on a deserted road,
a luxury car driving
at a speed of 220 kilometres per hour
strays onto the footpath.
The homeless people sleeping
on the footpath get crushed.
Three of them
are k*lled,
and the others
are injured.
The driver of this luxury car
is no ordinary person,
but the spoilt child of a rich father.
You can guess what the result
of this case will be.
Now open your eyes and consider this.
What if it was a truck instead of a car?
Are the driver of the car
and the driver of the truck
equal in the eyes of the law?
And in the eyes of the court?
Samaira!
The poor man is mistreated for years,
and for him,
the law turns into punishment.
Justice is blind.
But it always
lifts its blindfold once, just to see,
if the defendant is rich or poor.
For the sake of justice,
even the law has to be shown a mirror.
And no law school can teach this.
The sense of justice
is a feeling in your gut.
It tells you which case to fight.
In court, we don't fight cases to win
but to secure our right.
Samaira!
No.
Samaira.
Sir, you are a well-known,
undefeated defence lawyer.
If you truly wished to serve justice,
then why didn't you become
a public prosecutor?
Becoming a public prosecutor
is not necessary to serve justice.
You can be a defence lawyer
and still be fighting for justice.
And I'm known to fight the good fight.
Sir.
It's urgent.
For today,
I will leave you with this thought.
Don't look at justice
through the lens of the law.
The law is a means to achieve justice,
not justice in itself.
Thank you.
What happened, Avantika?
Avantika?
Dear.
How are you?
It's just a little nosebleed.
-Nosebleed!
-I'm fine.
It happens underwater sometimes.
Water up the nose.
It just looks worse than it is.
Old granny.
Guys, I'm not dying.
-Hey!
-Hey!
Samaira can be discharged now.
-See!
-Great!
-All good.
-Bye.
-Thank you.
-Dr Galvankar is waiting for you.
-Okay.
-Dear, I'll be right back.
Sam, be here.
I'll be right back. Okay?
Doctor, what happened to my daughter?
Is such a nosebleed common?
It's not uncommon either.
These things happen.
But I want to run some tests,
just to be sure.
Sure about what?
Please, let's not worry, Mr Mehra.
Let us run some tests.
Is Samaira your only child?
Yes.
-What
-Why are you asking this?
It's standard protocol
for medical records.
We will need blood work for both of you.
Sister?
Get their blood work done and upload it.
Yes, sir.
Thank you.
Sorry, Avantika.
I should have been there.
You wouldn't be able
to stand the sight of blood.
I'm still shocked.
We're lucky it's not serious.
This is not luck. It's bad luck.
A nosebleed
in the middle of the qualifiers?
Now they'll change
my position in the line-up.
If I don't get a place in the team
Oh, my God!
What place will they dump you in, then?
Dad. Don't do drama.
Dear, who's doing the drama? You or me?
Come on. Let's eat something.
I think butter chicken. What do you say?
I won't eat butter chicken.
Too many calories.
Oh, my God.
No one's going to give you any either.
You'll have soup today.
That's it?
How about some sushi?
Wow! Sushi?
So bland.
Oh, no.
-Hello?
-Hi, sir.
Hope everything is okay.
It's all fine now.
Sir, Mr Amritpal wants to talk to you.
It's urgent.
No.
Not possible. Not today.
Sir, actually it's really urgent.
Why can't you understand, it's
It's my family time today. Okay?
Avantika.
I can never understand
a doctor's handwriting.
But today, I couldn't understand
what he was saying as well.
Arjun
let's not overthink it.
Shouryamann Gaur,
son of famous industrialist
and general election candidate
Harshvardhan Gaur,
has been named an accused
in a case of attempted m*rder.
This revelation has caused turmoil
in both, political and business circles.
Yeah?
We're meeting Mr Gaur tomorrow
at 11 a.m. at his house.
He's especially asked for you in
connection with Shouryamann Gaur's case.
Be there tomorrow. Okay?
Okay.
How is she doing?
-She's asleep.
-The question now is,
will this case be
like other high-profile cases,
where the truth gets suppressed,
or will justice be served this time?
Is Shouryamann Gaur really guilty?
Soma Mittal is currently
in a medically induced coma.
No one has been arrested
in this case so far.
Mr Gopal Krishnan, why are you
personally prosecuting this case?
And why not?
Every lawyer dreams of an easy case.
Sir, you call such a politically
sensitive matter an easy case?
It is you people who are making
this matter politically sensitive.
For me, this is an open-and-shut case.
Shouryamann Gaur
violently attacked Soma Mittal,
tried to sexually as*ault her,
and then left her to die.
Sir, Shouryamann Gaur's father
is contesting the elections.
What do you have to say about that?
Arjun, come on. Please sit down.
Now, every criminal's father
does something or the other.
Arjun,
when you want to bring down a big tree
then you strike at its roots.
A politician's roots
are his family.
Your firm has been
our legal firm for years.
If you don't take this case,
then questions will arise
as to why you didn't.
And you know the media.
Even before the case starts,
they will declare Shourya guilty.
Arjun, the elections are a month away.
I know, I know.
You have some issues with Shourya.
But if you can keep the past aside
and forget what he did.
May I request
that you just meet Shourya once?
Where is Shourya?
Morning, morning. Sorry for the delay.
Shall we discuss the case?
Mr Harshvardhan,
please forgive me.
-I can't take up this case.
-Arjun?
If you had to refuse, you could have
just sent a WhatsApp message.
Why use WhatsApp?
I wanted to meet him personally,
and tell him that I can't fight this case.
Now if you can excuse me.
Mr Unbeatable Lawyer.
Taking up my case
will not harm your track record.
If anybody's interested,
I'm f*cking innocent!
Arjun, there must be something.
What can I do to make you take this case?
Miracle.
That was not cool, Arjun.
Shouryamann Gaur was a lawyer working
under you and you got him disbarred.
This history exists between you two,
but that has got
no relevance with this case.
We are a law firm, for heaven's sake.
Look, Arjun
Shourya is just like any other accused.
He too has a full right
to a strong legal defence.
Right, sir.
And I too have the right
to choose my clients.
-Yes.
-I will not take this case.
Even if he goes to jail or is hanged.
I don't care.
You have already declared him guilty.
Despite knowing our history,
Harshvardhan chose me. Why?
He wants to use my reputation
to make his son look innocent.
He doesn't want a defence.
He wants a whitewash.
I know Shourya very well.
You people don't.
But that's not fair, Arjun.
Sorry, sir. There's breaking news.
The high-profile case of Shouryamann Gaur
and Soma Mittal has taken a serious turn
even before it has started.
Head prosecutor Gopal Krishnan suffered
a heart attack during a press conference
about this case and obviously,
he will not be able
to take this case forward.
Now what will become
of the Soma Mittal's case now?
Junaid, do you have any updates?
Yes, Snehal, the news has just come in
that Madhura Banerjee has been appointed
as prosecutor in this case.
Madhura who?
Banerjee, sir. Some junior lawyer.
Who is she?
God's gift!
Hey! That pumpkin, pumpkin flower.
Yes, send that, please. Okay?
Yes, Gokhale, tell me.
It's confirmed, madam.
You will replace Gopal Krishnan in court.
It could be a rumour too, right?
The court reporters always do this.
One tea,
one buttered bun, and one milk cake.
Madhu, when will you make breakfast?
Hey, Tubloo, make it yourself.
Can't you see he's working?
I said it the other way round.
And the hearing is in four days.
The High Court has fast-tracked the case
due to media pressure.
Four days?
Yes.
Is this fast-track or fast-forward?
How will we manage, Gokhale?
Okay, tell me, who is the judge?
Kamra.
-Kamra the Hard-headed?
-Yes.
Oh, God, Gokhale.
We'll have to tread very carefully.
Madhu!
Okay, listen, I'm hanging up now.
-We'll talk later.
-Bye.
We did very comprehensive testing.
It's most definitely
advanced stage leukaemia.
Cancer.
But how?
No one in our family has cancer.
Perhaps the lab made a mistake.
Please test again.
These days,
many children are being diagnosed with it.
It's not only genetic.
It could be environmental as well.
There are many causes.
Advanced stage in such a small child?
I'm always with her.
Have I missed something?
We'll get a second opinion. Okay?
I-I know you're both in shock.
This is hard to comprehend.
But medicine has made a lot of progress.
We can save Sam's life.
But we'll need
to start treatment right away.
Yeah.
Please start.
Samaira needs a stem cell transplant.
In such cases, we take stem cells
from the parents' bone marrow.
As a rule,
either the mother or the father's DNA
is haploidentical to the child.
Meaning, a perfect match.
Neither of you is a match for Samaira.
Am I missing something?
There could be other donors.
There could be.
But finding such
a donor in time is very difficult.
And Samaira's cancer is very advanced.
Every minute counts.
Only biological parents
present a perfect match.
They are the best option.
I hope you understand.
Arjun.
This is the same man
who told me, "Get rid of it".
"Is it even mine?"
Do you believe he has the empathy
to help us?
I don't know.
But I have no other option.
I have to try.
I have to try everything.
It's a miracle.
Come on,
you said it yourself this morning.
That it will take a miracle.
My daughter's cancer
is a miracle to you?
Look at yourself.
How the mighty have fallen.
That's the miracle.
You insulted me so much in front of Dad.
I'm his only child.
What about me?
It wasn't my lousy idea to call you.
It was Dad's.
You came.
And insulted me so fondly.
This has happened many times, Arjun.
Your problem
is with me.
Don't involve my daughter in this.
I'm your daughter's biological father.
That's why you've changed your tune.
Forget it.
You rejected me, right?
But I won't do the same to you.
Defend me. Win the case. Become the hero.
Give my Dad back his smile.
I'll give you my bone marrow.
Life in exchange for life.
Deal?
There's no official confirmation yet,
but sources say
that Amritraj and Mehra Associates
are in talks to handle this case.
It is being said
that the famous lawyer Arjun Mehra,
who always fights for the innocent,
will be the defence lawyer.
It is very shocking that Arjun Mehra
has accepted the case overnight.
Will Madhura Banerjee,
appearing for the prosecution,
be able to handle the case of Soma?
No arrests have been made
in this case so far,
but it is being said
that Shouryamann Gaur is
the prime suspect in the case.
If Arjun Mehra takes up
Shouryamann Gaur's case,
then it cannot be ruled out that maybe
Shouryamann Gaur is innocent.
Shouryamann Gaur is now the prime suspect
in the Soma Mittal attempt to m*rder case.
Given his business
and political background,
the question arises whether
there is any truth in this investigation,
or is it just
another cheap political tactic?
The doctor called.
Shourya is a match.
I'm sorry.
Because of me, you have
to compromise on your principles.
What do principles matter
when our daughter's life is at stake?
The investigation and evidence
in the Soma Mittal case are so strong
that Shouryamann Gaur has been arrested
from his own palatial home.
Shouryamann Gaur has been arrested.
This is a big blow to the Gaur family
as elections are around the corner.
The case has been fast-tracked
and the hearing has advanced
to the next five days.
-How are you, Ajay?
-Fine.
-How come you're so early?
-And your mother?
I have a lot of work.
-Good morning, ma'am.
-Good morning, ma'am.
Come on. Give me the facts of the case.
Facts of the case?
Ma'am, victim's name, Soma Mittal.
Age, 27.
Postgraduate in Economics Honours,
belonging from Mumbai.
Sir, on the night of 30th April,
Shouryamann was at the Zyre Club
from 10:00 p.m. to 11:45 p.m.
This is a copy of their bill
from that night. 27,000 rupees.
Also, the bartender's statement says,
that night Soma was having
a great time with Shourya.
And over time, she drank too much.
At around 11:45,
she left the club with Shourya,
and was later found unconscious in Worli.
Her friends let her leave?
-Get her blood work checked again.
-Yes, sir.
-Test for Rohypnol.
-Okay, sir.
Shouryamann and Soma were
with two of her friends, right?
Yes, ma'am. Grishma Rao and Havovi Mehta.
Have.
The police have only watched
the CCTV footage. But you were with Soma.
So tell me,
what was the setting?
How was her vibe with Shouryamann?
Was she comfortable?
Yes, she seemed really comfortable.
You're not hiding anything, are you?
Because your instincts can help
your friend get justice, right?
Sir, Soma likes men, not boys.
Sugar daddies.
Her digital footprint
and social media accounts suggest--
We don't character assassinate women.
Am I clear?
After they left the pub,
around 1:00 a.m.,
a tea vendor named Vijay Kamte
saw them in the car.
He said he was parked,
and as he approached,
Soma fell out of the car.
Find out what the prosecution witness
Vijay Kamte has to say.
Mr Vijay Kamte, right?
Tell me,
where were you in this photo,
and where did the accident take place?
Ma'am, I was here.
Okay.
Look, you'll be asked this
in court as well.
Was it this girl or not?
MUMBAI CENTRAL PRISON
REFORM AND REHABILITATION
I want Shouryamann's testimony
on what happened that night.
Every single detail.
Make sure he leaves nothing out.
Ma'am, Shouryamann chilled
with the victim for a bit.
And reached home half an hour later.
Around 1:00 a.m.
According to the traffic
on that route at the time--
It would've taken him
around 15-20 minutes
to reach Soma's house from the club.
We analysed the night traffic
on that route.
So, by the time he reached home,
it would have been midnight.
-Yes, ma'am.
-Can anyone confirm that?
Gauri Gaur, his wife.
Was Shouryamann home that night
or did he come back from outside?
He was home at 1:00 a.m. that night.
And Shourya could
never do something wrong.
Her testimony won't be accepted in court.
We need another alibi.
Who saw Soma first?
A few devotees
on their way to the temple at Worli.
Around 1:00 a.m. at night.
They took her to the hospital too.
How is she doing?
Ma'am, she's in a medically induced coma.
She was attacked directly on her neck.
Her jugular vein has been ruptured.
INJURY REPORT FORM
JUGULAR VEIN RUPTURE
-Hello?
-Hello.
-Who are you, sir?
-Hello, madam.
Why are you calling me? I'm at work!
Ma'am, it's a parcel for you.
Give me the OTP.
You-- Oh, just-- just a minute. Just
Three-four-five-six.
What kind of number is that?
Give me the OTP!
Brother, it's three-four-five-six.
What can I do?
My husband is at home.
Yes, give it to him.
Sorry.
as*ault weapon?
Ma'am, not found.
Ma'am, looking at the injury,
it may have been made with a car key.
The make of car is Audi Q7,
which comes with an ignition key.
So, we can't prove that her throat
was slashed with a car key.
-No, ma'am.
-No.
Get Shourya's car fully examined.
Also, ma'am, his car was
chemically cleaned after the incident.
Sorry?
-Afterward, his car was chemi--
-Chemically cleaned, what's that?
Sir,
Shourya's car was professionally cleaned.
Was the cleaning scheduled?
-No, sir.
-It was a walk-in.
The r*pe kit?
Soma was not r*ped, ma'am.
She resisted.
In fact, the accused's skin and
blood traces were found under her nails.
And what about the DNA test results?
Both the skin and blood belong to Shourya.
So, we have
a motive,
an opportunity,
and a positive DNA match for the accused?
Yes, ma'am.
"Yes, ma'am."
Then why has Arjun Mehra
taken up this case?
Why is he defending Shouryamann?
Guys, we are missing something.
The trial starts tomorrow.
I am changing the order
of tomorrow's witness list.
When Ikka takes up a case,
he doesn't lose.
ENEMIES OF JUSTICE
Ma'am, will the prosecution be able
to defeat Arjun Mehra?
Please tell us. Answer us.
-Insults to women's empowerment
-India will not tolerate!
-Insults to women's empowerment
-India will not tolerate!
-Insults to women's empowerment
-India will not tolerate!
Ms Madhura, you found the time?
So sorry.
Traffic, Your Honour.
So sorry.
And the rest of us
just came by helicopter?
Your Honour, I have made
a change in the witness list.
Ma'am.
Yes, I saw that.
The defence's first witness
is Shouryamann Gaur.
Mr Shouryamann,
will you tell the court
what happened that night?
A person desires one thing,
but what happens is totally different.
Mr Mehra, I don't know where to start.
Please come to the point.
Mr Mehra, this is not easy for me.
The person I'm supposed
to talk about is someone's daughter.
Her mother is sitting here,
praying for her life.
Mr Gaur,
please speak at ease.
Take your time.
Thank you, sir.
There were a lot
of issues going on within the family.
I just needed a break.
Someone who would listen to me.
Soma listened, understood,
and did not judge.
We made a plan for dinner after the club.
We both left the club together.
Then, in the car,
her hand was on mine.
In that moment
I tried to kiss her.
Maybe she wasn't expecting it.
She didn't resist me.
She just attacked me straight away.
Then suddenly, she opened the door
and tried to run away.
I wanted to apologise to her,
to run after her, but
If I had gone after her, then today Soma
But I got scared, sir.
I got scared.
And then I went home.
In the CCTV footage, you two,
at 11:45 p.m.,
were captured leaving the club.
Last seen with victim.
So you must have reached Worli
by 12 o'clock.
Yes, sir.
And then, what you just told us.
If you went straight home from there,
then who did this to Soma?
I don't know, sir, I don't know.
Soma was found unconscious near
her house with a deep wound on her neck.
Who could have done that?
I don't know, sir.
So, as you said,
you went home from there, to Juhu.
Around what time was that?
Sir, I can't say exactly,
but around one o'clock.
That's all Your Honour.
Can anyone prove
that you were home at one o'clock?
My lawful spouse.
Your lawful spouse?
Wife.
The one who just now stormed out
of the court in anger?
Objection, Your Honour.
-Irrelevant question.
-Sustained.
Your Honour,
with your permission,
I would like to answer this.
Please.
Ms Madhura,
my wife is the one
who, despite all these charges,
came to this court, and sat here.
Because she's sure that I am innocent.
That wasn't her anger,
it was her pain.
Which you failed to recognise.
Maybe so.
But your wife's testimony is invalid.
Do you have anything else
that can confirm your version?
Does the prosecution have anything
that can contradict my client's version?
Mr Mehra,
you cannot address the court
or me without an objection.
I'm sorry, Your Honour. Sorry.
Please carry on.
Ma'am, no one's perfect in this world.
I certainly am not.
Not by a long shot.
But just think about it.
Soma treated me so well.
Why would I consider her harm?
Sir, I understand
that an alibi is important.
But I don't have one. What can I do?
Then they say,
justify the chemical cleaning of your car.
Sir, I send my car
for cleaning once or twice every month.
How much more can I justify it?
Your Honour, the accused is overstating.
Answer the questions
that are asked of you.
But you didn't ask
any questions, Ms Madhura.
Do you want to ask him something?
No, Your Honour.
No further questions.
-Mr Gaur, you may leave.
-Thank you.
Your Honour.
The case is very simple.
My client and Soma met at the club,
and the two of them
left the club in his car.
In Worli, my client tried
to get intimate with Soma in the car.
There was
a physical argument between them.
Soma got out of the car and left,
and my client went home.
End of story.
Mr Mehra,
all this,
can you prove it?
Ms Madhura, you're forgetting something,
that you are the prosecution's counsel.
I know who I am, sir.
But you may also recall
that in court,
argument cannot defeat evidence.
That's my point, Ms Madhura.
You have no evidence.
You're fighting the case on argument.
And you're telling me to do your job?
You're being rude
with a designated senior counsel.
Mr Mehra. Mr Mehra, please.
Stop this legal wrestling, you two.
Maintain some decorum.
Ms Madhura,
I think you need to change your approach.
And there's no harm
in respecting a senior counsel.
Court is adjourned.
Next hearing, 11th May.
-Insults to women's empowerment
-India will not tolerate!
-Insults to women's empowerment
-India will not tolerate!
The first day was excellent.
Shouryamann Gaur!
Making me
your first witness was a great idea.
Now, wipe that anger off your face,
it should look like we're a team.
Shouryamann Gaur!
Mr Mehra.
Mr Mehra, why did you take the risk
of calling Shourya
to the witness box on the first day?
Why not? He's innocent.
And defence has no doubt.
-Sir, sir, but
-Sir, sir
-Insults to women's empowerment
-India will not tolerate!
Now, I would like
to make a special mention
of our shining swimming star
who's currently aiming
for the Indian national team.
Sam's dad? Are you sure?
It's all over the place.
What about my dad is all over?
You really don't know?
NO ESCAPE FOR ANYONE
NOT POLITICIAN, NOT SON
Sam, you should be ashamed.
Your dad's defending that r*pist?
That's just disgusting.
Well, you all know her,
and we all love her too.
Samaira Mehra,
could you come on to the stage, please?
Would you like to say a few words?
-It's all over the place.
-You really don't know?
Sam, you should be ashamed.
Your dad's defending that r*pist?
That's just disgusting.
-Your dad's defending that r*pist?
-Disgusting.
You should be ashamed.
Papa, you should have heard them
talk about you.
I got so angry.
You would have too.
They showed me videos of people
throwing ink on your photos.
But dear, that doesn't mean
you should have fought them, right?
I
tried to control myself, but
I can't hear anything wrong about you.
I know, dear.
Sam,
you yourself said they were lying.
They were lying, right?
Then, no matter what anyone says
just ignore them.
Don't be affected.
Okay?
You know your father, right?
Never get into a fight again, okay?
But I know, Mama. I'm sorry.
It's okay, baby.
Don't cry, dear.
Don't cry.
Am I going to die, Mama?
Nothing will happen, dear.
Nothing will happen.
-Let's take her to the doctor.
-Let's go.
-Let's go.
-Come on, dear. Let's go.
Arjun, don't worry.
She's resting now.
This case is raising
all kinds of questions.
Today, school kids are
talking about it. Tomorrow
fake WhatsApp newsgroups will be formed.
What if the truth comes out?
It makes no difference to me.
I feel scared.
What if Sam finds out?
How will she find out?
See, right now, my focus is only that
I have only two weeks,
whether I get a donor or not.
I have to win this case.
I have to save my daughter.
I have to save our daughter.
I have to save our daughter.
Oh, Ms Madhura.
What happened to your hand?
It's a big case, sir.
A two-and-a-half-kilo hand
is necessary, right?
The prosecution calls Vijay Kamte.
Vijay Kamte, identify yourself
and tell the court what you told
Inspector Gokhale last night.
My name is Vijay Kamte.
On that night, that is, Monday
I was taking tea towards the car.
Suddenly, the car door opened.
And Soma fell out of it,
as if someone had pushed,
or thrown her out.
Mr Kamte, you identified the car
at the police station yesterday.
And do you see the driver in this court?
That sir was driving the car.
Let the records reflect
that the eyewitness has identified
Shouryamann Gaur.
Your witness, Mr Mehra.
Mr Kamte, was it this car?
Or that car?
Correct.
Or was it this one?
This one? This one?
This one?
Or that one?
Don't be afraid, take your time.
Look, I'll show you.
That's a Mercedes.
That's a BMW. That's an Audi.
Objection, Your Honour.
Mr Kamte sells tea,
he's not an auto expert.
Mr Mehra, what's your point?
What Mr Kamte saw
was a black, high-end car.
Of which there are thousands in Mumbai.
You also have a black Mercedes
like this one, right?
Okay, Mr Kamte,
now tell me,
how did you recognise my client?
There was no identification parade there.
So you were probably shown
a lot of photos.
And you recognised him from them.
No, sir. I was shown only one photo.
Only one photo?
Only one photo!
Great, so you were shown only one photo.
Okay then tell us, how much money
did the police give you?
Objection, Your Honour.
-He is making a mockery of the court.
-Withdrawn.
Mr Kamte,
tell me,
how do you know Soma?
Sir, I park my cycle
next to her apartment building.
So that means you know her well.
Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
So, why didn't you help her?
You could have taken her to the hospital.
Sir,
it would have become a police matter.
Police matter?
People have abandoned humanity because
of the fear of the police, My Lord.
In a way,
he is an accomplice to the crime.
Mr Mehra, please don't stand in court
and preach to the court.
Ms Madhura.
-Yes?
-What is this?
Your Honour, he said
something else to the police.
The witness is turning hostile?
Is that what you're saying?
Oh, no, no! No, Your Honour.
Evidence should have
some value in court, shouldn't it?
Yes.
Don't just go through the motions.
I'm not blind!
Please have the grace
to accept your mistakes,
and do better.
The court is adjourned.
Madam, now I know
why they call Arjun Mehra the Ikka.
He hasn't even played his ace yet.
He drops his ace five minutes
before the judgement.
It's okay, madam.
He doesn't know
that we are the prosecution.
We're doing our job honestly.
And madam, the entire system
is standing behind you.
The system is standing on my head.
Now madam, one has to bear
the burden of the system.
Next time you'll be
a match for them. Don't worry.
Mr Mehra, I'm following the case.
I understand. But you need to hurry up.
We are running out of time.
I know, Doctor. I'm doing my best.
Thank you.
What is this?
Soma's digital log.
I don't need this.
You know I don't work like that.
Evidence is not character assassination.
It just creates reasonable doubt.
This will make your case more watertight.
No.
That's not the way I work.
I know.
I was trained by working with you.
By using this, we are not lying.
I have taken Shourya's entire testimony,
just like you asked.
And I made sure
that he does not leave any detail out.
-You guys go ahead.
-Okay.
You're calling Abhimanyu
to the court today?
Mrs Mittal.
Abhimanyu doesn't know anything.
Mr Mehra, Abhimanyu doesn't know
anything about my Soma.
I will show you.
Wait. Sorry, sorry.
Look at this.
Here.
This, here. This is my Soma.
Do you see this? This?
My daughter was ranked third
across India in the ICAI! Third!
She is preparing to become a CA.
Look, I'm just doing my job.
My daughter,
Mr Mehra
is completely innocent.
She is very hard-working.
The law, isn't it meant to protect
innocent people like Soma?
Why, Mr Mehra?
You are defending the person
who is responsible
for my daughter's present condition.
Didn't you always fight for people
who were wronged by the system?
You know, Mr Mehra
to earn a reputation takes years.
But today, in this one moment,
you have fallen in my eyes.
My daughter is fighting for her life.
She is fighting.
Do you even know
what it's like, to watch your daughter
die a slow death, right before your eyes?
-Were you and Soma in a relationship?
-Yes.
What kind of relationship?
Friend, boyfriend, what kind?
Sir, I love Soma very much.
Have you been to the hospital?
Let's see how much you loved Soma
on the 30th of April.
You're a bloody b*tch.
Characterless woman!
Abhi, I'm done.
I can't deal with all this.
You don't decide everything.
Want to try?
Leave me. And face the music.
Dude, shut the f*ck up!
I will go to the cops.
Go! Try! You have to live to do that.
Okay, so your feelings are quite clear.
Which car do you drive?
-Honda.
-A black Honda?
Do you use Snapchat?
Yes.
So that means she shares
her live location with you.
Yes.
That means you know where she is
and what she's doing, every moment.
Sir, but I didn't do anything.
I wasn't there that night.
That's what you say!
An aggressive, possessive,
threatening boyfriend!
Maybe that's why she went with my client.
Out of fear that you'll k*ll her?
Sir, you don't know girls like Soma.
That's why you're saying
these things about me.
For a free drink and a good night,
such girls will do anything.
From bar to bed, and bed to bar.
Shut up!
In this court,
I'm a lawyer,
and you're a witness.
Outside the court
we're just common citizens.
Understood?
-Mr Mehra!
-Yes, sir.
Mr Mehra.
What are you doing?
You're threatening a witness in my court?
No, Your Honour.
Court is adjourned for the day.
Avi.
I wish you hadn't given me that drive.
I wish I had not taken the drive.
I had explained it to Abhimanyu.
I told him, we won't take that route.
You know, today in the court,
a mother was shamed because of me.
I dishonoured a mother!
I hate myself! I hate myself!
-I hate myself!
-Get a grip on yourself.
I know this is very difficult for you.
I hate myself.
I'm sorry.
But we're doing this for our daughter.
We're doing this for our daughter, Arjun.
For our Samaira.
We're doing this for our daughter.
But
she's someone's daughter too.
We're doing this for our daughter.
But to save my daughter,
someone else's daughter
She's someone's daughter too.
Oh, God!
God!
What are we doing?
-We have to be strong.
-Yeah.
We have to be strong.
We have to be strong.
For our daughter
We have to be strong.
We have to be strong.
Madhu, your phone is ringing.
-Gokhale?
-Yes, madam.
I spoke to the forensic department.
It's a positive match.
What couldn't be done with a straight
finger, got done with a crooked finger.
Thank you. Thank you, Gokhale!
Madam, thank you.
What an idea you had. Top class.
Tomorrow, they'll be crushed in court.
-Good night, madam.
-Good night, good night.
Your Honour.
This is the key to Shouryamann Gaur's car.
Objection, Your Honour.
-This is--
-Let her finish speaking first.
-Please carry on.
-Thank you, Your Honour.
This is the key aperture of
Shouryamann Gaur's car,
that is, the keyhole,
which we haven't even mentioned yet.
The prosecution would like to call
Dr Ghosh.
Call him.
Objection, Your Honour. What's the point?
Patience, Mr Mehra.
Please introduce yourself.
I am Dr Ashutosh Ghosh,
senior forensic analyst at CFSL.
I examined the car's key aperture.
What did you find?
Human blood.
Very unusual.
Human blood.
But the car was chemically cleaned,
so how is that possible?
Ma'am, chemical cleaning is
an industrial process.
-Right.
-Not a criminal enterprise.
Had the car key been clean,
then the key aperture
would have been clean too.
So by inverse logic,
if there is blood on the car key,
then there would be
blood in the keyhole too.
Dr Ghosh, can you tell us
whose blood it is?
Soma Mittal's.
Are you sure?
Madam, forensics don't lie.
Your witness, Mr Mehra.
Your Honour,
defence requests for an early recess.
This is new evidence, we need some time.
Mr Mehra, you are a senior lawyer.
You're raising objections
during the expert witness's statement?
The court is adjourned. You may go.
Your Honour, please, give me five minutes.
Just--Just five minutes.
Your Honour, this is the CCTV footage
from Srinath Petrol Pump in Vashi.
The timestamp is 1st May, 00:05 a.m.
That is, five minutes past midnight.
Abhimanyu's entry at this petrol pump
has been logged.
He filled petrol, bought cigarettes,
and used the bathroom.
Abhimanyu's exit was also logged,
at 12:20 a.m.
Soma Mittal was found injured
at around 1:00 a.m. at night.
Abhimanyu could not have been there,
because he was in Vashi.
Excellent investigation.
Excellent.
But you forgot to mention one thing.
At 12:30 a.m. that night,
Abhimanyu went to a caf to have coffee.
Maybe he got someone else to do it.
And maybe someone else had
a motive too, just like Abhimanyu did.
Why not?
So, Mr Mehra, now you're questioning
the victim's character?
That's your mindset, not mine.
Look, she is an attractive woman.
Intelligent, educated. Why not?
She could have other male friends too.
But that doesn't mean
I'm diminishing her character.
Because that's today's youth.
But Mr Mehra, we all know that
when lawyers can't convince, they confuse.
I'm neither convincing nor confusing.
Legally, it's a reasonable doubt.
That's enough for today.
The court is adjourned.
MUMBAI CENTRAL JAIL
How did Soma's blood
get into your car's keyhole?
I told you. Don't hide anything.
Did you k*ll her?
Did you k*ll her?
I told you, Ikka.
Soma attacked me by surprise.
I was defending myself.
The car keys were in my hand.
It must have scratched her.
But what kind of lawyer are you, brother?
Your face in court today was worth seeing.
You always thought I was weak, Ikka.
Loser.
You took away my right to be a lawyer.
Got me disbarred.
My ex-girlfriend is your wife today.
Even then, the world views you
as Ram and me as Ravan.
How much time did the doctor give you?
Two weeks?
What sort of father are you?
What did you say my daughter's
name was? Sam? Samaira?
Samaira is my daughter's name!
She's my daughter.
With a daughter's life in danger
I can understand your desperation.
But Ikka, do one thing.
Prepare your bill,
and let's settle our account today. Okay?
-Chatur!
-Yes, sir?
Shourya
-Call Amritpal.
-Shourya, listen to me
Tell him that after today's hearing,
we're changing our entire legal team.
I'll find a way out.
I made a mistake today.
I I'll find a way out.
I'll find a way out. Okay?
Listen to your daughter's final countdown.
Tick, tick, fourteen
Tick, tick, thirteen
Tick, tick, twelve
Tick, tick, boom!
Knife.
BP is low and dropping. Starting the CPR.
Start the
Her platelet levels had dropped.
We performed a blood transfusion.
We are bringing her back to the room.
Thank you.
Hello, sir, bad news.
The
The doctors just declared Soma dead.
Now this has gone from
an attempt to m*rder to a m*rder case.
Soma?
Soma?
Soma?
Soma!
Do you miss me?
I think
about you.
About us.
This love never dies.
Right?
You only love yourself.
You can never change.
You are right.
People who change are the ones
who can't speak the truth.
Love was never the issue, Avantika.
At 22, you wanted
marriage, kids, a family.
And I did not.
Yes, you wanted to remain free.
So, now you have your freedom.
For three years,
I loved you like a madman.
And you forgot everything in a heartbeat.
You married our boss.
Who always wanted you.
Everybody knew it.
For 13 years
I never saw yours nor my daughter's faces.
This was a punishment, Avantika.
Not freedom.
Arjun loved me.
And respected me too.
What did you want?
That I would wait ten years for you?
That I would abort my child?
I wanted to be a mother.
For you, everything was
always about yourself.
The world might fall for your drama,
but not me.
Samaira is only Arjun's daughter,
not yours.
Fantastic.
I'm the villain
in the story of you and me
The villain in the story of Arjun and me
And now, the villain in the story
of me and my daughter as well?
That's just great.
But this raises the question, my beloved
What do you want now?
You're making a big mistake.
As soon as the news gets out
that Arjun dropped your case
at this stage
the public perception will reverse.
You'll be considered guilty.
Now I understand
what a fraud
my Arjun is.
To beg me for my own daughter's life,
he sent you.
And you came here to act out
a fake love drama.
I loved you.
I only came here for my daughter.
Arjun doesn't even know I'm here.
Do whatever you want.
You're free.
I couldn't see her this way.
Our baby
Our baby!
After Soma Mittal's death,
the public is very angry.
Everyone has the same question.
What has happened to Arjun Mehra?
Why is the man who fights for the innocent
and the powerless not standing with Soma?
If the system doesn't wake up even after
Soma's death, how will she get justice?
After Soma's death, pressure has increased
on the prosecution to solve the case.
After Soma Mittal's death, Harshvardhan
Gaur's troubles have increased.
Shourya is now an accused
in a m*rder case.
So far, the prosecution has not been able
to prove anything conclusively.
You are a loser.
You are a loser.
An absolute disgrace!
I need to win this case,
not just for you, but myself as well.
It's a good thing
that he disbarred you 15 years ago.
You deserve it!
You're a piece of sh*t!
Arjun, I cannot take this any longer.
I hired you, because you are the best.
I want to see that Arjun Mehra.
I want this case dismissed
with a clean chit.
Do whatever it takes.
The elections are around the corner.
I need this done with.
Really, I need this done with!
This is why my legal career
was so precious to me.
Do you understand now?
What is the difference
between the two of you?
Where you are now,
you are responsible for it.
My responsibility is my daughter.
I will win this case.
You will give her your bone marrow.
Hello, this is my bed.
Should I call the nurse?
Sorry.
Your bed, your rules.
You're so pretty, Mama.
Thank God I look like you.
And your brain works just like your dad's.
Doesn't it?
Even I fight for what's right.
My brave, strong baby.
Do you think I'll ever recover?
By the way things are going
I feel really scared, Mama.
Me too, Sam.
I'm sorry.
Nothing will happen to me.
Trust me.
Just like Dad never loses,
I won't lose either.
Baby.
Defence calls Dr Carol Hakim.
India's most senior forensic scientist.
Dr Hakim,
the forensic samples collected
in this case and the reports generated
Is that accurate?
Unfortunately, no.
You are a scientist. I am a lawyer.
Can you explain your science
in simple terms
so that we can all understand?
Look, for blood testing,
PCR-RFLP is a gold standard.
On the basis of those,
convictions can be obtained.
So Dr Ghosh must also have used
this gold standard.
Given the sample size, Dr Ghosh did
what anyone in his place would do.
The blood recovered from the keyhole
was in a very small quantity.
It was degraded,
and chemically contaminated.
And for the RFLP protocol,
a larger sample is required.
So, the next best option was a PCR test.
But, as I have stated before,
it is not a hundred per cent accurate.
There are chances
it may give a false positive.
Simply stated,
the sample was not even viable
for a definitive PCR-RFLP protocol.
So you're saying that
the test Dr Ghosh presented
disregarded the sample size
and contamination,
and is inconclusive?
But Dr Ghosh said, "Forensics never lie."
Why would he have done this?
The prosecution may have told him.
-Objection, Your Honour.
-Mr Mehra.
Can Dr Ghosh's forensic testimony be used
to convict an honest, respectable man?
Impossible.
Leave aside an honest man,
even a hardened criminal cannot be
convicted on the basis of such evidence.
That's all, Your Honour.
We want justice!
We want justice!
We want justice!
My daughter is already dead, Madhura.
We want justice!
We want justice!
We want justice!
How many more times
will she have to die for justice?
Like scavenging birds,
they're tearing her apart.
I can't watch her die again.
I should admit defeat.
Can you get justice for my daughter?
We're getting a good thrashing in court.
It's impossible that
in a city like Mumbai,
there's no one who knows anything.
No one saw anything!
"The city that never sleeps."
And my own team is sleeping.
Ma'am, we're trying our best,
but nothing has turned up yet.
I don't want to hear anything.
Tap every source, every informant.
Go to every home.
Those you've already questioned before,
question them again.
Exert as much pressure as you like.
Because, if there is a crime,
there is evidence.
Find me something. I need something!
Have you seen him?
Hello, sir. We are
There's nothing.
We've checked here,
we've checked here, we've checked here.
Here also.
WORLI CRIME SCENE
Excuse me.
Is this Madhura Banerjee's office?
Do both of you have your
closing statements ready?
Yes, Your Honour.
Ms Madhura?
Your Honour, the prosecution
wants to present a new witness.
Another witness? At this stage?
Ms Madhura, what are you doing?
Your Honour, at the court's urging,
we delved deep into the case.
We have found a new witness.
I object, Your Honour.
How can this be allowed now?
The prosecution is using an emotional
argument to introduce a new witness?
-That's not right.
-Overruled, Mr Mehra.
The court procedure is correct.
I'm allowing it.
And I hope I will not
regret this allowance.
Your Honour, the prosecution
calls upon Sudhakar Pillai.
-Are you Sudhakar Pillai?
-Yes.
-Do you live in Worli?
-Yes.
Here? In this hostel?
Yes.
So, at the very next turn
after the crime scene.
On 1st May, around 1:00 a.m. at night,
what were you doing?
I was packing my luggage.
I had a train at 4:00 a.m. in the morning.
Did you see something?
I was smoking a cigarette in the balcony,
when a car below slammed its brakes.
Just a minute.
What floor do you stay on?
And this incident you mentioned,
what time did it occur?
My house is on the third floor,
facing the road.
And the time was approximately 1:10 a.m.
It was a luxury car. The driver got out.
And from his body language,
he seemed to be very stressed.
Then what happened?
Nothing. I didn't pay much
attention to it, and I came inside.
I texted my father the train timings,
and took out my clothes
to wear to the station.
Then around five minutes later,
I came back out to the balcony
to check if my Uber ride had arrived.
The car was still there,
and now the man was talking
to someone on the phone
in a state of high excitement.
-On the phone?
-Yes.
Then what happened?
Nothing. Then I came back inside.
Did you see the car
or driver again after this?
-No.
-Can you identify the car?
No. But,
I can identify the driver.
Him.
Let the record reflect
that the witness has positively
ID'd the accused, Shouryamann Gaur.
Your Honour,
Shouryamann Gaur's statement says that on
May 1st around 1:00 a.m., he was at home.
That means
in Juhu, here.
And at 1:10 a.m.,
he was also within a 100-metre radius
of the crime scene?
How can that be?
Your witness, Mr Mehra.
Your Honour,
defence requests an early recess.
Early recess?
Mr Mehra,
there's only an hour left for lunch.
Please continue.
Mr Pillai,
you remember the time accurately?
Yes. 1:10 a.m.
Is there someone who can prove
that your clock was working right?
Like I said, as soon as I came in,
I texted my father the train's time.
It's time stamped, 1:12 a.m.
You can check it if you like.
-You said there were two men, hmm?
-No, no, sir. Not two. One.
Didn't you say,
you saw a man, then you went inside.
You came back out,
and you saw another man.
Yes, but it was the same car,
and the same driver too.
He was the driver
who stopped the car with a screech
and got out, and he's the one
I saw talking on the phone.
When his photo appeared in the media,
I recognised him.
I was out of town,
I informed them as soon as I returned.
Okay.
Mr Pillai, the driver you saw that night
simply cannot have been my client.
Because he didn't even have his phone.
He had forgotten his phone
at the nightclub.
Your Honour,
cellphone records do not lie.
Your Honour, it's also possible that the
accused could have more than one phone?
Or that he borrowed a phone
from someone else?
Because one thing has been proved.
That at 1:10 a.m.,
Sudhakar Pillai saw Mr Shouryamann Gaur
beneath his apartment, in Worli.
So he cannot have been
in Juhu at the same time.
Unless, of course,
the defence has any evidence,
besides his wife, that they can present.
The court is adjourned until 3:00 p.m.
Your Honour, defence needs more time.
Fair point.
The court will reconvene tomorrow.
MUMBAI CENTRAL JAIL
Please go outside.
Hey, wait. Where's the non-veg dish?
Sir, today is Tuesday.
So Gouri ma'am has only sent veg food.
"Gouri"? Who's "Gouri" ma'am?
Say "Gauri."
Go. Get out.
The case was set to conclude today.
Where did this surprise witness come from?
And he was telling the truth.
Oh, God.
What do you want to hear?
That I k*lled her?
Okay. I k*lled her.
I got passionate in the car,
tried to kiss her,
she suddenly changed her mind,
and attacked me.
I did whatever I could in my defence.
The key was in my hand. She died.
Then I went to Pillai's house.
Then I woke up that beggar,
took his phone, made a call.
Who did I call?
I called Chatur.
"Chatur, look, I've done this thing."
"Dispose of the body."
But the body was never disposed of.
How does this story sound?
Stop messing around.
Give me something!
Ikka, look me in the eyes.
I can commit a mistake, but not a crime.
A beautiful girl rejected me.
I went home frustrated.
At home, my wife started nagging me.
I handled her.
I went to sleep.
End of story.
f*ck!
My house is on the third floor,
facing the road.
I was smoking in the balcony,
when a car slammed its brakes below.
The case has taken a new turn
because of the prosecution's new witness.
All the evidence
is against Shouryamann Gaur.
It seems that Soma Mittal
will finally get justice.
Now it remains to be seen how the defence
gets out of this situation.
Harshvardhan Gaur convinced Arjun Mehra
to take up his son's case,
but his political problems
continue to grow.
It's being said that,
let alone winning the election,
even his ticket to contest
might get cancelled.
It remains to be seen if Arjun Mehra
can save him from this storm.
-Tell me, will you be able to save him?
-Please stop! Please stop!
-Will you still contest the elections?
-Wait, wait! What's the hurry? Move aside!
How much will this affect
your political career, sir?
-Sir, please, sir, tell us.
-Sir, tell us.
Sir, please tell us.
Okay. Keep me informed.
Mr Mehra, please.
Mr Mehra,
I've already said everything I had to say
in my statement to the police.
How will it help to repeat
the same thing in court?
The court will not accept my testimony.
You're defending Shourya.
You must already know that.
But look, that night
when Shourya came home,
he may have spoken to someone.
Someone may have seen him.
Or,
you may have ordered food,
or some such thing.
I need something. Some alibi.
You really want to save Shourya,
Mr Mehra?
You know Shourya's nature
better than I do.
Defending him is your misfortune
and being his wife is mine.
But Shourya said that night,
he "handled" you.
"Handle"?
By beating me up.
He's a monster.
Over the years, I've taught myself
to forget nights like those.
Maybe that's why I'm still alive.
I I had even called
the police that night.
So the police came?
No.
I called them and said everything's fine.
That they don't need to come.
Now, please don't ask me why.
I've done what I could do for Shourya.
But now,
I'm on Soma's side.
Why didn't you
mention all this before?
Okay, thank you.
Wow!
Thank you, sir.
Are you sure?
Eat!
Yes, we can afford it now.
Really?
I got a job.
-What?
-Yeah.
-Two good news in one day!
-Yes!
-My big case, your new job.
-Yes, madam.
Where did you get the job?
What?
Gaur Constructions.
Madhura, Madhura, listen to me.
It's a great opportunity for me.
Assistant manager
for the first six months.
After that, they'll make me manager.
The salary is 12 lakhs per annum,
with perks.
-Come on.
-Hey, that's great.
But you can't take this job.
They're trying to buy you.
I've already accepted the offer.
Have you lost your mind?
Listen, you're getting this job
so that I'll keep quiet.
Okay, so keep quiet.
Excuse me?
Keep quiet.
Piyush
I've sat at home ever since COVID.
The house cannot run on
your government lawyer's salary.
You know that.
And cases will always
come and go, Madhura.
What's the big deal about this case?
Piyush, I'm not letting go of this case.
Why not?
What's the problem?
Pro--
I I'll tell you.
Even if you win this case,
what will happen?
They'll go to the upper courts.
From there, they'll get an acquittal.
You'll get a conviction here,
and they'll appeal again there.
They have all the money, man.
Of course they'll win.
Mr Gaur is a politician.
He's manipulating you.
He'll chew you up and spit you out.
You're getting this job
so that I leave this case and go away.
-Do you understand?
-So now this case is bigger than me?
Do as you please.
What do you mean?
Do you want to choose your husband,
your family, or your career? You decide.
Oh, my gosh!
-Ms Madhura, you here?
-Hello, sir.
Yes, I came here for dinner.
-And you?
-I came here for a meeting.
Okay.
Would you like some coffee?
Let's have some coffee.
-Do you mind? Sure.
-Okay. No, I can.
Thank you.
Harshvardhan Gaur
gave my husband a job today.
And he accepted it?
Arjun, sir, I'm quite junior.
But I know this much,
that if the defence resorts
to buying the prosecution
then they have no case.
Your case is not watertight either.
The testimony you presented in court
at the last minute,
won't stand in the Supreme Court.
And Shouryamann
will be acquitted.
Hey, Arjun! Thank God we bumped into you.
We were meaning to call you, actually.
Could you please do a quick video call
with our daughter?
Sure. Sure. Yeah.
-Thank you.
-Excuse me.
Please come this way.
You would be the right person to
advise her on which law school to go to.
Are the closing arguments ready?
Sorry, Your Honour.
The prosecution has one last witness
we need to present.
Ms Madhura, did you take up law
to make a mockery of court proceedings?
No, Your Honour.
This is very important for the case.
Please allow it.
And this is not a new witness.
Their statement is still on record.
Sir, why do you allow
this drama every time?
Is the prosecution here
to fight a case or to create drama?
Mr Mehra, you are a senior counsel.
Please show some support.
Besides, this is not a surprise witness.
Ms Madhura, it's the last time
I am allowing this.
But, after this,
I will write it down myself,
"Not before me."
Call them.
Thank you, Your Honour.
The prosecution would like to call
Mrs Gauri Gaur,
as a prime witness.
Your Honour!
Mrs Gaur.
In your statement, you said that on
May 1st, around 1:00 a.m. at night,
Shouryamann Gaur came back home.
Is that correct?
Mrs Gaur,
please, don't nod your head.
Answer properly.
Yes.
That's what I said in my statement.
But today,
you wish to change your statement.
Has anyone exerted pressure on you?
No, sir.
Okay.
So, can you share with the court
what you told me?
That night,
on May 1st,
Shourya didn't come back home
around 1:00 a.m.
Then?
He came home
at 4:00 o'clock in the morning.
4:00 a.m.?
But how can you be so sure?
Because that's the time
for my music practice.
I see.
Then why did you write 1:00 a.m.
in your statement to the police?
I was very scared.
Shourya's
I mean, our family, is very powerful.
That's why I did
whatever Shourya told me to do.
Som
After Soma Mittal's death
I've been very disturbed.
She's dead.
Before being a wife, I'm a woman.
A wife can lie for her husband, but
such a lie
is sometimes impossible to swallow.
Did you know Soma Mittal?
No.
I know Shourya.
Thank you.
No further questions, Your Honour.
Mr Mehra,
you must have a lot of questions.
So, please get started.
No, Your Honour.
I've grown addicted to this drama
over the past few days.
But let's end this saga today.
Gauri says that her husband
came home at 4:00 a.m.
The prosecution can't prove this.
But let us all assume it,
because I don't have any proof either.
My key witness
has now joined up with them.
Your Honour,
the court now
stands at a point where,
if anyone should come and tell us
where my client was
at 1:10 a.m. that night,
the case will end right there.
Mr Mehra, if there's anyone who has proof
and has kept it safe,
then this is the time.
Present it right now.
Your Honour, you let Ms Madhura
play out her drama, let me do mine too.
Wonderful.
You two have turned this
into a circus of witnesses.
Now, who can refuse you?
Call them.
Defence calls Inspector Manish Sharma,
Mumbai Police.
Please tell the court your name,
rank and department.
SI Manish Sharma, sir.
Posted at the Mumbai Police Control Room.
All calls made to the 100 number,
are attended to by you?
Yes, sir.
And all those calls are recorded.
Okay, then. Let's listen to a recording.
Can you play the recording?
Hello? He's hitting me.
He's beating me up! Please send help!
Gauri! Who are you talking to?
Put the phone down!
-Shourya, no! No!
-Madam?
Madam, hello?
Your Honour, but Sudhakar
Patience, Ms Madhura, patience.
There's still one more recording.
Play.
-Hello? I'm fine.
-Hello. Hello, Madam.
No, there's no need to send anyone.
Yes, everything is fine.
Your Honour,
I would like to call Gauri Gaur.
Ms Gauri,
why did you do this?
Shourya's drinking
and a*usive nature made me desperate, sir.
I suffered for many years,
but I didn't have the courage.
It's not easy to go against
such a powerful family.
Sir,
can I say something?
So what if Shourya was at home
with me that night?
You should still sentence him to hang!
Please, sir.
Well,
that cannot happen.
You could have gone to the police,
called the Women's Helpline.
You could have filed
a domestic violence case.
You could have done a lot of things.
But you did none of those.
You framed your husband
in a criminal case.
And now,
your husband can file
a criminal case against you.
That's all, Your Honour.
Closing arguments. Ms Madhura?
Nothing to add, Your Honour.
I rest my case.
Mr Mehra?
Your Honour,
these recordings are proof
that at 1:10 a.m. that night,
my client was at his home.
Not 16 kilometres away,
in Worli.
The real k*ller is someone else.
My client is innocent.
That's all, Your Honour.
Mrs Gaur, the court
has taken cognisance of your issues.
It is the court's suggestion
that you file a domestic violence case.
I give you my guarantee that you will get
the full support of the system.
But this is a m*rder case.
And the court's decision is that
none of the charges against
Shouryamann Gaur stand proved.
Prosecution has failed
to convince the court.
This court dismisses all charges
against Shouryamann Gaur.
You, sir.
You're free to go.
Detailed judgement to follow.
Ms Gauri, why did you
testify against your husband?
Ma'am, how does it feel
Sir, sir, sir, sir, say something, sir.
Sir, sir, sir!
Gauri
for everything that I've done
to you over the years,
please forgive me.
And if you can't, then punish me.
But please don't leave me.
I didn't expect this from you, sir.
You had me followed.
You knew I'd be there.
-Ms Madhura, you here?
-Hello, sir.
Would you like some coffee?
Let's have some coffee.
That coffee was no coincidence, right?
But even that couple's
arrival was planted?
You wanted me to read your messages,
so you can lead me to Gauri Gaur.
All okay, sir?
Excuse me, I need to go.
I've got something important come up.
All this
was your plan, sir?
And
The prosecution presented Gauri,
but she turned out
to be a witness for the defence.
Do you
even sleep at night, sir?
Some things, even if distasteful
must be done.
There's one thing I don't understand, sir.
If you had the recordings of
Gauri's calls to the 100 number,
then why do all this drama?
m*rder case.
Gauri's testimony
was eyewitness testimony.
Which you couldn't use.
So you used me.
And Mr Gaur tried to buy me.
The Gold Standard by Arjun Mehra.
I respected you, sir.
You were my teacher, my idol.
Shouryamann Gaur
may have won this case, sir.
But in my eyes, you lost.
It's done.
See you on the weekend.
You can see her now.
All's good.
-Thank you, Doctor.
-Welcome.
Papa.
You saved me.
Didn't I tell you,
nothing will happen to you.
Nothing will happen.
Love you.
See, Mama?
I told you.
Dad can do anything.
It's over, Arjun.
It's finally over.
No, it's now time for me
to play my Ace(Ikka).
Ikka,
you came, my man!
Amazing. Come on.
Hi, Arjun.
Hi.
Ikka, say yes for once, man.
Learn to accept a no for once.
-Give us a minute, baby.
-Sure.
I'll see you around, Arjun.
Look, Ikka.
You may have won.
But the ace was mine.
And here I thought
I was doing all the hard work.
But you slipped up once.
You k*lled Soma Mittal.
And I know how you k*lled her.
Stop! Please!
Stop! Let me go!
Let me go!
In a fit of rage,
you stabbed Soma with your car key.
When you saw the blood, you panicked.
"Is she going to die?"
You threw her out of the car,
and drove away.
Now, you needed an alibi.
So you could prove that
you weren't there, but at home.
Then you realised
that you don't have your phone.
You left it at the club.
At the next turn, you stopped your car.
Right below Pillai's house.
He saw you, recognised you.
Not while committing the m*rder
but while covering it up.
Follow me, follow me.
Gauri, listen to me carefully.
-Hello, Police Helpline. Hello?
-Hello?
Hello? He-he's hitting me.
He's beating me up!
Send help, please! Please send help!
Gauri, who are you talking to?
Put the phone down!
You knew your wife
would lead me to that recording.
Send help, please! Please send help!
Gauri, who are you talking to?
Put the phone down!
You're brilliant. I'm a genius. Cheers!
What gave me away?
Not what.
Who.
Ask the right question, Mr Genius.
Remember that day
you didn't get non-veg food?
Hey, wait, where's the non-veg food?
And Chatur pronounced 'Gauri' as 'Gouri.'
Sir, it's Tuesday today,
so Gouri ma'am has sent vegetarian food.
"Gouri"? Who's "Gouri" ma'am?
Say "Gauri."
Chatur was at home, acting as you.
And you were playing reality there.
-Hello?
-Hello.
He's hitting me!
He's beating me up! Send help!
Gouri, who are you talking to?
Put the phone down!
Shourya, no!
Let it go, Ikka.
Let's not weigh down the mood.
I mean, go, relax, go home.
At least
let me play my ace.
The person whose phone you took,
saw you up close.
Blood on your clothes,
maybe he heard you what you said too.
Now, making witnesses
disappear is your hobby.
Which you did.
The day Pillai recognised you in court
-Go, get out.
-that same day,
you sent Chatur to k*ll that beggar.
Arjun
The witness is already dead, right?
That's where you slipped up!
If you search with true dedication,
leave aside a man,
you can even find God.
-How many years have you lived here?
-Many years. We've been here for 40 years.
Sir? Sir, the people living here
are homeless, but not undocumented.
They're all listed in various
government benefit schemes.
For the past three years,
23 people have been listed.
And we have personally met 22 of them.
-So how long has one person been missing?
-Since that same night, sir.
He's originally from Purushwadi.
We tracked Chatur's phone.
You were right, sir.
He's on the move.
Me and some local police,
we're on our way.
Okay. Keep me informed. Okay?
You believed that Chatur k*lled the man
and then went underground, at your say-so.
That homeless man didn't die.
He was unconscious for three days.
And as soon as he woke up,
he gave a full statement.
What the f*ck!
Now, there isn't one,
but two charges against you.
One, Soma's m*rder.
And the second against the witness,
attempt to m*rder.
Arjun
what you're saying is correct.
It's the truth.
But your truth is not the ultimate truth.
I told you.
I can commit a mistake, but not a crime.
Will you compromise your ethics?
Will you send me to jail?
I won't send you to jail,
she will.
