[tyres screeching]

[Bishan] 'It's the same God everyone looks up to.'

'Punjab can never disrespect its guests.'

These guests who've come from outside...

...have shed their blood and sweat for us.

Working at our houses, fields, roads, buildings, factories...

Without them, Punjab is not really Punjab.

Section 65, Limitation Act 1063, states that...

...any person residing at a property or land for over 12 years...

...can never be removed...

...whether or not he has ownership rights to the property...

[applause]

Like they say in your language...

...God is one.

We too have a saying...

It's the same God everyone looks up to.

The order passed by the Ludhiana Municipality...

...on 3rd January 2019 to demolish the houses in Pritam Nagar...

...is hereby overruled.

[applause]

[car door opening]

[Ruma] 'You must've heard, Punchhi is also on the list for the High Court.'

- I know. - So?

So what?

May the best man win!

You seem very confident of getting the promotion!

[Bishan] 'No.'

Nothing like that. Anyone could be promoted.

You do know that there are seven more judges in the list apart from you and Punchhi.

And there are only three spots to be filled.

Not three. Just one. The other two are for the reserved category.

Don't try and act too smart.

Do you know what Punchhi is famous for?

What am I famous for?

[Ruma] 'Everyone knows about you.'

'But it isn't easy to become a High Court judge.'

There is a lot of dirty politics, manipulative drama...

- You are too... - Ruma!

What?

Will you keep quiet for a while?

Please.

Fine. From now on, I shall not utter a word, Your Honor.

[door opening]

[Abeer gasps]

[door closing]

[Abeer panting]

[Abeer pukes]

I appreciate that you're concerned about me.

Thank you.

Go to hell!

So what plans ahead?

I mean... should I put in a word at the Advocate General's office?

Or do you want to just wait for your first case endlessly?

I don't know yet. Let me think and get back to you.

The joy of making it on your own...

Thank you for the ride.

See you.

Come on, come on! Be careful.

Hurry up and take him.

Turn that camera off!

Come on, move back.

Shut it quickly.

Be careful with his hand!

Go quickly. Shut the door.

-[siren wailing] - Didn't I tell you not to?

The bike must've skid this entire length...

- Yes, Bhullar? - Ma'am, a car seems to have hit this bike.

And the bike skid across this entire stretch.

Is it a hit and run or an accident?

I am certain it's a hit and run. Collect all these glass pieces from here.

[Reporter] The rising prices will affect the common man most in Punjab.

The new electricity tariffs will be levied from today.

Yes indeed, it will be levied from today as decided.

There is tremendous opposition with regards to this order.

[phone ringing]

[door opening]

[Bishan] 'Abeer!'

'How did your driving test go?'

'Did you pass?'

No.

No worries... next time.

Come, let's eat dinner. Come.

Where are you off to?

Abeer!

Is everything alright?

Are you not well?

Where is your inhaler?

I don't need it.

Should we go to the hospital?

I am fine.

I think we should, you don't look too good.

Abeer.

Please, dad.

Come inside.

My driving test was at 10 a.m.

At 11:30 am, I was at the bus stop to go to college.

Just then the agent called...

...and said...

...that I didn't use the indicator on one turn.

And that's why I failed my test.

I remember using the indicator.

Don't worry about it. It's okay.

This was my third attempt.

Doesn't matter, Abeer. It's okay.

I was really furious.

So I ditched college...

...and came home instead.

When I got home, I saw that you hadn't taken the car.

Why didn't you take the car?

I took the car out...

...but then I realised that the PUC had expired.

So I left it behind.

And you just left?

With the keys in the ignition?

Wait a second. Did you... take my car...

You don't even have a license yet and you...

I know how to drive!

The agent was on the phone half the time during my test.

I just wanted to drive your car around the block.

Just for my own confidence.

Have you lost it? You don't even have a license yet.

Dad, I was driving at 30km/h.

There was no problem.

And then I saw him come up behind me.

Behind? Saw who?

- He was on a motorbike. - Motorbike?

He overtook me and made a sharp turn.

There was no one else around.

Where?

- On the highway. - High...

You drove all the way to the highway?

He overtook me suddenly!

I didn't even realize when he overtook me and he...

...he lost control of the bike.

Abeer, you hit someone and you didn't even bother to stop?

I did stop. I went a little ahead and stopped the car.

Then?

I wasn't being able to breathe. I had an asthma attack.

I am not talking about you. I am talking about the guy on the motorbike.

- What happened to him? - I don't know.

What do you mean you don't know?

Yes. I don't know.

Was he hurt? Did he die? What happened?

I don't know. I'm telling you that I don't know!

You left him there on the highway and ran!

Could I speak to Inspector Kiran Sekhon please?

[man1] 'She is busy at the moment, who's calling?'

Bishan Khosla. Session Court.

What are you doing?

I don't want to go to the police.

I know some people there.

I don't want to go.

Abeer, there has been an accident!

How will they know that it was me?

The accident happened because of you, Abeer!

And they will find out who was involved.

And when they do find out, all hell will break loose.

I do not want to go right now.

Abeer! Listen to me!

You hit a man and then you left him to die on the side of a road.

This isn't about some simple traffic rule you've broken.

This is about that man's survival.

Can't you tell them that you are a judge?

I am not going to say anything to anyone.

And if you're sent to prison, then even you will not open your mouth.

The people, who I've sentenced, if they get to know that you're my son then...

You will not tell anyone whose son you are!

Since when have you become the kind of person...

...that just leaves a wounded man to die on the road?

I am not like that!

Then what kind of a person are you? Who are you?

All my life, I've tried to protect you.

But have you ever thought about me?

What are people going to say?

What will be printed in the newspapers tomorrow?

That Judge Khosla's son left a man to die on the road and ran away.

You will only answer what they ask you.

You will have to answer their questions.

If they ask you why you ran away, then say...

...say that you were scared.

You couldn't breathe.

You had an attack. Because you have asthma.

Tell them that you get an attack when you're distressed.

And I will do whatever I can.

[radio chatter] '...a 32 year old women raised hell this morning...'

'...when she landed at a business man's house...'

'...and accused the man in question, Happy Singh...'

'...of being her estranged husband...'

'...who has now married another woman...'

[Agent] 'Son, there seems to have been some mix up this morning.'

'You have passed the driving test. Congratulations!'

See I told you that I had used the indicator.

[radio chatter continues] 'In the other news, the accident on the Jalandhar-Ludhiana highway...'

'...this morning has left the victim in a very critical condition.'

'He has been admitted to the LSM Hospital.'

'The police are actively looking out for the person who did the accident.'

[Abeer] 'Dad... Dad, stop the car!'

'We will keep trying our level best to bring you...'

- '...news about the latest developments on this case.' - Abeer!

'The police are actively investigating...'

'...and are also questioning people who live near the accident spot.'

'But there are no solid leads yet.'

'There have been many such incidents on the highway lately.'

Abeer.

Dad, I am scared. I don't want to go to jail.

Don't worry, nothing will happen to you, okay?

Abeer, come.

Come.

Come on, you drive...

Don't worry, the police station is pretty close.

And I am with you, come, drive.

You've even passed your test now.

Come, let's go. Come.

Wait here. I'll just be back.

'The police are investigating the matter.'

'They are refusing to comment on the same.'

'No witness has come forth in this case yet.'

Is Ms. Kiran Sekhon in?

- Who are you? - Judge Bishan Khosla.

Okay. Please sit. I'll call her.

- 'The gang war, which had gone cold for the past 2 years...' - Take a seat.

'...between the Pathankothiyas and the Pandit gang...'

'...seems to have suddenly been rekindled.'

'Our reporter Nilofer is reporting from the ground.'

'Yes, Nilofer.'

'Nilofer, can you hear us?'

There are plenty of rumours flying around, Sukhbir.

All this started today morning, when someone's car...

...hit Satbir Mudki's elder son, Satnam Mudki, at the Jalandhar-Ludhiana highway.

[Nilofer] 'Satnam was on his motorbike.'

'The police are investigating all aspects of the case.'

They are also investigating to see if this could be a case of contract killing.

Because Satnam just got out of jail 10 months ago, after serving a 3 year sentence.

'He was serving time for the possession of unlicensed weapons.'

[Kiran] 'Khosla Sahib!'

'Thank you, Nilofer. The police are on high-alert after this mishap.'

-[woman1] 'Yes, Ma'am.' - Put Bittu on the line.

- Your remember that story, Bittu? -[Bittu] 'The ants bit me.'

- Is it? -[Bittu] 'They are in the kitchen.'

Oh, do they really live on the shelf in the kitchen?

-[Bittu] 'Yes they do, they even bite me.' - Oh no, did they really bite you?

[Reporter] 'We must bring to your attention...'

...that Satbir Mudki, the head of Pathankotiya gang...

'...is currently in jail serving time for the cases of 3 murders...'

'...fraud and property disputes.'

Our reporter tried speaking to Satnam's younger brother, Harman Mudki.

Do you think this is because of the gang war?

We are currently investigating the matter.

We will have our revenge. There will be blood. Everywhere.

'This is Nilofer with cameraman Sailesh Handa reporting from...'

[phone ringing]

- Are you in the car? -[Abeer] 'What?'

- Don't come inside. -[Abeer] 'But why?'

Just start the car and leave.

But where do I go, Dad?

- I said, just start the car and leave. - Judge Sahib! -[Abeer] 'Dad!'

Oh, 'tis the Lord himself at my humble door.

Had I known earlier, I would've come myself to welcome thee.

You head, I'll speak to you later.

Did you see who got run-over in the accident?

Satbir Mudki's son.

And god knows if the person who hit him is a gangster or someone else?

He'll definitely get caught, either by us or by these Pathankotiyas.

Anyway, how may I help you today?

My car has been stolen.

[Kiran] 'Oh! Which car?'

Honda City. 2014 Model.

Abeer's grandmother had gifted it to her daughter.

It holds a lot of sentimental value for my son, more than me.

- He even got his driving license today. - Oh good!

How is your son?

He is fine.

He was troubled after his mother passed away...

But he is fine now.

Since when has your car been missing?

Since this morning or maybe afternoon.

Morning or afternoon?

I can't be sure.

Where was the car parked?

Outside my house.

But Civil Lines is quite an upmarket area.

But yes, there have been some cases of robbing and thieving in the areas around Civil Lines.

The car is registered...

...in Abeer's grandmother name, Sheel Tandon.

Oh, Sheel Tandon! She has given me quite the run-around in the past.

What is the registration number of the car?

PB 10 AB 08817.

Hey man, are you blind?

Is this a place to park?

I don't have a license.

Then why are you in the driver's seat?

I am waiting for my dad.

- Come on! Come outside. -[Abeer] 'Huh?'

- Step out of the car. - Yes.

Come out!

What is your name?

- Name? - Abeer Khosla.

Why did you park your car outside?

When I was leaving for work in the morning...

...I realized that the PUC had expired.

So I just left the car parked outside.

There are so many people in this city...

...who drive around without a license or an insurance, Judge Sahib.

And you... just for an expired PUC?

If a judge commits a crime himself then who's to judge him?

Wow.

Give this paper to your insurance company.

If the Bhaiyyas have stolen your car...

...then the body and engine would have all been changed by now.

Where are you?

Left... left. To your left.

Why didn't you leave?

I had asked you to leave.

Dad, what happened inside?

Didn't I ask you to leave from here?

A policeman parked the car here.

Policeman? What policeman?

Dad, a policeman came to the car and he moved it here.

- He said that I couldn't park the car there. - Did he ask you anything?

Did he jot down the number of the car?

I'm not sure. But he did seem to have a notebook.

What did this policeman look like?

He just walked past you, as you were walking out.

Get up, come sit this side.

Come and sign this, will you? Or is your wife's husband going to come and sign for you?

Considering I'm the husband, I'll only sign it.

And Khalsa Sahib...

...why are you bringing parathas from home these days?

My wife isn't keeping well.

Not well? What happened to her?

Don't know, she just isn't well.

Make sure she eats well and takes her medicine.

Are you taking care of her or not?

[Police Officer] 'I am.'

You are sure, right?

Don't look so worried. She will get well soon.

Pray to the Lord. Everything will be well.

The guy who was riding the motorbike...

...his name is... Satnam Mudki.

[Abeer] 'So?'

So!? Google him. You will know who he is.

Satbir, your elder son, Satnam...

Is he dead?

He is in a critical condition in the ICU.

Take me to him right now.

Tomorrow morning.

We have spoken to the police about it.

Will he live to see the morning?!

Does his mother know?

And Harman?

They are at the hospital.

I want to be with them right now.

We don't have the permission to take you there right now.

[Satbir whining]

[Bishan] 'Our car has been stolen. Say it.'

[Abeer] 'Our car has been stolen.'

- Which car? -[Abeer] 'This car.'

Good.

Like every day, I was on my way to court.

I left the car outside the house. And it got stolen from there.

Why did I leave it outside? Because the PUC had expired.

And I was getting late for court. Understood?

The PUC had expired.

[Bishan] 'You went for the driving test in the morning and you failed.'

You came back home upset.

You saw the car wasn't there. But that didn't alarm you...

...because the car is usually with me.

Who drives the car? Me.

You got a voice message from your agent at night.

He said there had been some mix up in the morning.

You've cleared your driving test.

Say it.

I gave my test. I failed.

I went home and slept.

Abeer, are you listening to me or not?

You will be asked all of this!

Why didn't you go to college after your test!?

What was in the voice message?

What was in the agent's voice message? Tell me.

I gave the test. I failed. I went home and slept.

- Abeer! What was the agent's voice message about? - Dad!

Now why have we stopped here?

Abeer, our car is supposed to have been stolen.

We can't take it home.

Do one thing. You head home.

I'll come home in a bit.

Where will you go?

I don't know where I am going, Abeer.

I need to think. I'll figure something out.

Alright, hold on, I'm opening the door!

Are you trying to break it down?

Bhaisahab? It's really late, is everything okay?

Could you come out for a minute?

-[Indu] 'Kesu! Who is it?' - Yes.

Judge Sahib is here.

Why don't you come inside, let's sit and talk comfortably?

Indu, I'll be back in 2 minutes.

What happened?

- Do you see that car? - Yes.

- I need to get rid of it. - Rid of it?

- Is this your car? - Yes.

No, I mean just give it to someone.

What's the matter?

Give it to some thief...

...or to the guys who change the color and parts of the car overnight.

- Give it to someone. - Judge Sahib, but why do you want this done?

Do you know anyone like that?

I know drug dealers too. Do you want to get high?

What's wrong with you?

- Whose car is it? - What's it to you?

Look Kashi, this needs to be done right now. Tonight.

Bhaisahab, I'd do anything for you.

But try to understand. I am an officer in the CRPF not a thief or a burglar.

- To do such things... - Kashi, I would have never come to you if I wasn't in serious trouble.

Judge Sahib!

Why are you both standing outside? Please do come in.

- Namaste. - Namaste.

- How are you? - I am fine.

You look prettier every time I meet you.

Then meet me more often. Please come in.

Please sit inside. I will just make a call or two and come.

Go inside.

If I'd known you were coming, I'd have definitely cooked something for you.

Satto Di? Is Guddan there?

This time, I've come unannounced.

Next time, I'd like to have some of your litti choka.

What's up? Why are you laughing like this?

Our language sounds really nice when you speak it.

I have called someone.

I will rest for a bit now. Alright?

Take care of yourself and the baby too.

What's happening?

I have called someone. He is reaching.

[phone vibrating]

Yes. Where have you reached?

Oh. Okay, I am coming.

Give me the keys.

No. Ask him to break the lock and open the car.

The way thieves break open the lock. Ask him to do it that way.

I really don't get what's going on here, Bhaisahab.

- How are you? - Fine.

- Is your mother alright? - Yes.

Good. And listen...

Do you see that car?

You have to take it and get rid of it. Okay?

Break open the lock and take it.

Good. And listen...

- Don't tell anyone about this. - Yes.

- Swear by your mother? - Yes.

Go ahead.

[notification sound]

[engine starting]

[door opening]

[door closing]

[door opening]

[door closing]

[phone ringing]

- Hello? -[Sheel] 'Why isn't Abeer answering his phone?'

He's asleep.

What happened yesterday? Did he pass his driving test?

Do you know what time it is?

It is 05:37 a.m. in Jalandhar.

If your clock is working, then it should be 05:37 a.m. in Ludhiana too.

Have you called me early in the morning to crack this joke?

I'll tell you why I've called if you tell me what happened with Abeer's test.

Making deals is in your blood, I see.

[Bishan] 'Abeer passed his test and also took me for a small drive yesterday.'

Is that so?

Then why did the Ludhiana police call me to tell me that my car has been stolen?

Yes, I was about to tell you.

Then I thought that you would get unnecessarily stressed out.

Then how did father and son go on this "drive"?

[Bishan] 'We had gone for our drive.'

The car was stolen an hour after we got back.

I am going to call up the insurance guys today too.

- Insurance? -[Bishan] 'Comprehensive insurance.'

If the police don't find the car, then we'll get a new one from the insurance guys.

The police found the car a while ago.

[Sheel] 'And they also caught a boy with it.'

What do you mean they found it?
