'Someone has rightly said it.
'You are what you google.'

'If someone gets hold
of our Google history,'

'he will know everything about
our character.'

'I am trying to survive in this city.'

'And here, you don't gain power by
advising, bribing or punishing people.'

'You gain power by digging out
your opponent's secrets.'

'And the one who knows the most number
of secrets becomes the most powerful.'

Mom, I have searched the entire house.
There is no teddy bear.

Maybe you haven't searched it thoroughly.

I know you went there for the sake of it.

If you were sincere,
you would have found it.

Mom, stop it. Stop living in the past.

Stop obsessing over uncle's death.
Just stop it.

I am not the only one
who is obsessed over the past.

Don't you do that?

I know why you run away
from your relationships.

I know why you stay awake all night.

It's okay when you hold on to your past.
But if I do so, it's called obsession!

I hope your pain has subsided
after hurting me.

No... I am sorry.

Akshay, listen. I am sorry. Akshay.

I think you are here only because
you don't want to go home.

The truth is, I can't get rid
of the pain no matter where I go.

I am sorry, Akshay.

I didn't mean to intrude.
I can understand if you need your space.

You know when I was 12 years old,

we were on a school trip,

and Amit and I went towards the lake
secretly for boating.

He was my best friend.

We did everything together. He was my...

He was my partner in crime.

While playing with waves,

I didn't realise when Amit fell into
the water by accident...

I panicked.

He didn't know how to swim.
While drowning, he stretched out his hand,

and I held his hand but...

But I didn't have the strength
to pull him out.

He struggled, and he struggled...

Gradually, he stopped struggling
and my hand gave up.

Then Amit's hand slipped away.

And he drowned.

You know, when I close my eyes at night,
I see his eyes, and he tells me,

'Akshay, how did you let go of my hand?'

'You were my friend.'

Now, I understand

why you are afraid of holding a hand.

You are afraid of losing someone.

I proposed to you on that day
in Bangalore... - Please, Akshay.

I don't want to talk about it.
It's okay. I get it.

Do you?

I do.

You are not afraid of falling in love.

You are afraid of the responsibility
that comes with it.

Yes.

You know I never stopped
loving you, right?

I know I haven't said it but I...

I do...

I still love you very, very much.

What is the point, Akshay?

You love me,
but you are scared of holding my hand.

You know there is this thing I read once.

We have two choices in life.

You can look at where you are today
from somewhere in the past.

Or you can look at the past
from where you are today.

The choice is always ours.

You are sitting in the dark.

That means you are carrying
something dark in your heart.

Are you in a poetic mood?
- I might be.

Are you okay?

Yes, I am good.

Is there something you want to talk about?

There is nothing to talk about.

I am a little stressed about the merger
and Neeraj. That's all.

There is something else.

Talk to me.

Akshay.

Look at me.

Hey, are you guys still up
for having some drinks?

Can you pick me up?

What does it mean exactly?

It means... Well, I am not
one hundred percent sure.

But ninety percent chances
are that Vartika is lying.

What!

I mean the cigarette that police found,

which Neeraj supposedly
used to burn Vartika,

has no traces of his DNA.

Wow! That's awesome.
That's very good news.

I know it's good.
But I know that Puneet Tandon

is going to get an expert witness
in the court.

And chances are,

he will be the expert witness.

Who is he?
- There is no point in knowing his name.

If we have to discredit him on the stand,

we need a lot of information on him.

Of course.
- Can you help?

Of course.

Send me the forensic papers by courier.
Yeah? - Cool.

What's the address?

21, Niharika...

GK2.

New Delhi.

110048.

If the forensic report is true,

it means

my son hasn't taken after me.

Am I right?

Dr Chaturvedi, there is a guy who smokes.

There is a girl who comes to his room
to meet him.

The guy rapes the girl.

Objection, Your Honour. - I am sorry,
Your Honour. I'll rephrase that.

The guy allegedly rapes the girl.

Then the guy throws a packet
of cigarette towards the girl.

He asks her to light a cigarette.

The girl picks the cigarette packet,

takes a cigarette out and lights it.

Then the guy uses that cigarette
to inflict severe burns on her body.

Tandon, if you are done with your story,
then please ask the question.

Yes, I am about to ask the question,
Your Honour.

Dr Chaturvedi, the defence thinks

that since there is no trace of DNA of
the accused on the cigarette, it proves

that the victim is lying.

Suppose the story I narrated is true.
Then in your expert opinion,

is it possible not to have traces of DNA
of the accused on that cigarette?

In my opinion, it might be possible.

Because DNA gets transferred
mostly through bodily fluids

like sperm, sweat or spit.

If the girl puffs the cigarette once

and the guy uses that cigarette
to inflict burns on her body,

it's possible not to have the traces
of his DNA on the cigarette.

But the defence says that they get
into a scuffle.

So, during the scuffle, is it possible
that the DNA didn't get transferred?

Yes, it's possible.

If bodily fluids don't get exchanged,
the DNA also won't get exchanged.

Great. Thank you. Your witness, please.

Dr Vinod Chaturvedi, MBBS, MD,
Forensic in DNA science!

Tell me something.
Where did you do your MD?

Lala Govindrai University, Panipat.

If I am not wrong,
it's the same university

which was involved in
the fake degree scandal last year!

Your Honour, relevance?
- No, I am not saying

that you are holding a fake degree.

Sustained.

Dr Chaturvedi, what's your primary
source of income?

Your Honour, relevance?
- Your Honour,

I'm trying to establish
that the witness is biased.

I'll allow it. Dr Chaturvedi, answer it.

Yes, I am a qualified doctor.

But these days, I spend a lot of time
in the courts and boardrooms.

So, you're a professional witness.

In the last 6 months, how many cases
have you testified for?

Just approximately.
- Approximately 40.

And how many of those 40
were Puneet Tandon's cases?

Approximately 28.

Monthly or retainer, doctor?

Objection, Your Honour.
- Sustained.

Sorry, Your Honour.
- So, you said

that it's possible not to find
my client's DNA on the cigarette.

Dr Chaturvedi, I'm sure you've studied
that RNA is present under our nails,

which can be converted to DNA.

I'm not a doctor, so I'm asking you.

DNA can be found in the nails
and in the skin beneath the nails.

So, Dr Chaturvedi, I'm sure you have
heard about Touch DNA.

Yes.
- Can you elaborate?

Touch DNA is the type of DNA
that's transferred through skin cells.

So, when we touch an object,
our Touch DNA gets transferred.

Yes. - Dr Chaturvedi,
in your expert opinion,

if my client had touched the cigarette,

or had his fingernails
brushed against it,

is it possible that the DNA
wasn't transferred?

It's possible.
- 'It's possible.'

But what's the probability?

I'm not sure.

Roughly?

I guess...

I mean, 1 in a million?
1 in 10 million?

Maybe around that range.

Now, let's add one more aspect to it.

My client has been accused
of raping this girl.

So, I'm sure that my client's Touch DNA
was on her entire body. Right?

I mean, at least a little
must have been transferred, right?

1 in a million?

Dr Chaturvedi, monthly or retainer?

Withdrawn! Withdrawn.

Ma'am.

The warden of Rohini Prison
had called for you.

For me?
- Meher Salam had asked for it.

She wants to meet you.

Really? - Ma'am, I'm happy that
finally, your efforts are bearing fruit.

Don't say that already.
Fingers crossed. I hope it works out.

Yes, ma'am.

Uncuff her hands.
- Sorry, ma'am.

I don't like these high heels you wear.

Okay. I won't wear them again.

Meher, look at this.

These are the testimonies of all
the women. This one is from Calicut,

this one is from Calcutta.

They have all told me their stories.

Stories of torture.

I will fight this fight.

And I want you to fight it with me.

Is this your handwriting?

It looks like goat droppings.

The letters should be crystal clear.

Give me the pen.

Your mind will be blown.

You're amazing.
- It's called calligraphy.

I have written a lot

on the walls. In huge fonts.

'Urinating here is prohibited.'

'Spitting here is prohibited.'

I've worked on everything,
from movie posters to notices.

When Abid was a baby,

I used to draw tattoos

on his hands.

And he was so naughty

that he wouldn't go near the water,
lest the tattoo gets erased.

Shall I draw a tattoo on your hand too?

What will you draw, Meher?

A flying phoenix.

Who left me here, waiting.

I'm not going anywhere.
I'll get you out of here.

No.

I want death.
- Why?

If I die,

they will pity my son.

If I don't die, what will they do to him?

Why do you think this way?

I'm a mother.
So, I have to think this way.

Can I ask you something?

Yes.
- When...

When I die,

please ask Abid

to write my name on my grave
in his own design.

Something nice and ornate.

Ask him not to write my name plainly.

And ask him to draw a lot of
flowers and leaves around it.

Will he write my name?

I'm not going to say anything to Abid.

When you get out of here,
talk to him to your heart's content.

You don't need wine or drugs.

You don't need it.
You zone out without it too.

It's very hard, you know?
- What is?

Everyone says that lawyers shouldn't
get emotionally attached to their clients.

It's very difficult in Meher's case.

They are torturing the poor thing.

She's suffering.

Yes, but... What can you do, right?

That's what JJ says too.

That I should leave her alone
for some time.

Meher is very stubborn, you know?

She is her own enemy.

If I leave her alone,

I don't know what would happen
to her in jail.

Do you have a choice?

It's not like you can file a case
against the government, right?

What's up?

Why did I not think of this before?

What?
- PIL!

A PIL against the government!

The government sentenced Meher Salam
to death, but they didn't execute her.

Meher served
a life imprisonment term in jail.

She is being tortured in jail. And
the government is responsible for that.

That's brilliant!

Now, I'll free Meher regardless of
whether she signs the affidavit or not.

And I'll expose the damn government.

'PIL'

Had I trusted you, I would have
found out about this from the TV news.

What news?

I may not be an educated,
English-speaking lawyer like you.

But I'm not a fucking fool either.

You slowed down
the capital punishment case,

but then you filed a PIL against us!
You filed a case against us!

What are you saying? What kind of PIL?

Does Niharika Singh
work for you? - Yes.

She has filed the case.

She has written that the government
is responsible for the torture

inflicted upon her in jail.
Because she has not been hanged.

It's a misunderstanding.
Give me an hour's time. I'll fix this.

Why just one hour? Take as long
as you want. You have a lot of time.

The PMO has ordered
not to give you the seat.

The party has no place for those
who stab us in the back within a week.

Yes, JJ? - Niharika has filed
a PIL against the state

in the Meher Salam case.

Niharika has filed a PIL
in the Meher Salam case?

You're the head of the litigation
department. Why are you stuttering?

Has Niharika filed the case or not?

I'll go and check.
- You're the head of litigation.

Don't you know what's going on
in your department?

Why are we going against the state?

JJ, nobody consulted me...
- 30 minutes!

JJ, but...
- 29 now!

Niharika is hell-bent
on destroying our firm.

And today, she has crossed all lines.
Niharika!

Did you file a PIL against the state
in the Meher Salam case?

Did you file a PIL against the state
in the Meher Salam case? Answer me!

Hello. - Sir, I think you're asking
the Jantantra Party for a seat,

but you're working for us.

Who is this?
- Chaturvedi.

From the Bhartiya Gatbandhan Alliance.

Yes, Mr Chaturvedi. How are you?

I'm good, sir.

But the way the Jantantra Party
is treating you is making me very angry.

'They give you the seat.
Then they take it back.'

'Is this a joke?'

I say, why don't you contest the election
from our party's seat?

After all, your ideology is
the same as our party's.

Throw these files in the trash.

And you. You will go and withdraw
the PIL right now.

And remember one thing. You have
neither the right nor permission

nor the power to make such
a big decision without asking me.

You will not sign a single piece of paper
without consulting me. Is that clear?

Before doing anything,
you will first ask me!

'Can I, please, sir?'

In this office, you're only allowed
to do two things of your free will.

One, go to the loo.
Two, drink coffee. Full stop!

What's going on? - It's not your
department. Stay the fuck out!

I can see that. In my department,
people aren't treated this way.

Well, Akshay, it's the same old

entitled behaviour from the boss' son.
- Watch your tone.

Don't tell me to watch my tone!
- SK!

I'm your senior partner!
I'll talk as I please! - SK!

Please. It's done. It's okay.

SK, it was my bad. I'm sorry.

JJ, you don't...
- Ah!

When I thought about
Niharika's legal strategy,

it's amazing.

You've done wonders!

I mean, wow!
- What?

Okay?

SK, sorry again.

Keep it up.

Give me water.

Sir, since you've summoned us so early
in the morning, I'm sure it's urgent.

Good morning, Ms Singh.

Good morning, Your Honour.

I haven't summoned you.
Tandon has summoned us both.

But... How can he summon us?

It's about the evidence, Ms Singh.
Tandon, what happened?

Your Honour, the footage from August 6
which Niharika presented was tampered.

On what basis do you say that?

Can you open the evidence
from the court-lock?

Bring the hard-disk.

Sir, first of all,

there's a jump at 10:45 pm and 12 frames.

Earlier, we didn't pay attention to this,
so we didn't notice the jump.

Secondly,

when Vartika exits the room,
there's something in her hand.

Which wasn't there when she went in.

Your Honour, whatever happened in the room
was definitely not a 'havan'.

The footage of her entering the room
is from August,

and the footage of Vartika
coming out is from May 28.

Ms Singh, do you know the penalty

for willingly misleading the court
and tampering the evidence?

Your Honour... - Your Honour,
I don't want to press charges on Ms Singh.

I think even she has been
kept in the dark.

Whoever wanted to mislead the court

wanted to mislead her too.

So, you tell me. What do we do?

Sir, how can I...

Seriously. Tell me what to do.

Let's strike off the tampered evidence
and the related testimony

from the evidence list.

We don't want anything else.

What a strike, man!

Ms Singh, any objection?

No. It was a rhetorical question.

Stand quietly.

Strike off all the testimony
related to the footage.

And get rid of the footage.

Your Honour, Vartika lied on the stand.
You don't want to strike that off.

Do you want to know what I want to do?

Your Honour, I know that
we've made a huge mistake.

But the defence has already established

that Vartika perjured herself
on the stand.

And despite the footage...
- She's quite sharp. I must give her that.

She will go to jail herself,

but she won't let Judge Mehta
delete the whole testimony.

Play for a transfer.

Your Honour, the prosecution
fully believes in its case.

We acknowledge that Vartika made
a huge mistake on the stand.

You may delete everything

except that part.
We don't have any objection.

Tandon, today, I'll do it for you.

And I won't file a case against her.

If I find out 10 years after my retirement

that this was a conspiracy
hatched by you two,

I'll have the both of you thrown in jail.

Okay?
- Yes, Your Honour.

Yes, Your Honour.
- Dismissed.
