[knock on the door]

[Ruma] 'Coming!'

[knock on the door]

Coming. Who is it?

[Kiran] 'Inspector Kiran Sekhon.'

[door opening]

Good morning. I needed to ask you a few questions.

Here? At my house?

It's urgent. I'm here for the well-being of your client.

[door closing]

Please have a seat.

Did you go to Gandi Chhapri two days ago?

Yes.

[Kiran] 'Did anybody else know that you were planning to go there?'

No. Why?

How many people know that you're Guddan's lawyer?

Why?

Did someone follow you at Gandi Chhapri?

Why are you asking me all this?

Did Guddan ever tell you that he's facing any sort of threat?

Why are you asking me all these questions?

Did Guddan ever tell you that apart from the car theft...

...he is also under interrogation for a car accident?

I cannot give you a report about the conversations I have with my client. It's privileged.

Alright, you won't give me a report.

But I need to give you a report. Listen to it carefully.

The man lying in coma in an ICU for a week since the accident...

...is Satnam Mudki, the elder son of Satbir Mudki.

Now, your client's background, his identity...

To conceal these, I've been pulling all stops for the past week.

And then there's you who has been going around his ghetto...

...shouting out his name to make your inquiries.

You're giving interviews on TV.

Yelling around that he's a Bhaiyya and that's why he's being framed.

- What is this? - A picture of your client.

What is this?

They threw boiling oil on his face.

This is not Guddan.

I know. The poor guy's name is JK.

It could have been Guddan though.

He was standing beside Guddan. The oil fell on him.

Your client is in protective custody...

...and ever since this incident, we've doubled up his security.

Guddan's safety can only been ensured if he stays with us. In jail.

Please don't try to get him released from there.

[Title Montage]

Guddan! What is the matter, Guddan?

Has my lawyer not come to meet me yet? I need to talk to her.

Didn't you just call her from the office?

Yes, I did but she didn't answer her phone.

Here, take this. Call her up.

[phone ringing]

[phone ringing]

M**********r!

[Satbir] 'It's only just begun.'

More people will burn, ours and theirs.

There will be more bloodshed.

More people will die.

Once the bullets fly, there is no telling whose blood will be spilled.

People walking on the streets, innocent people.

I've seen a lot. I've done a lot, Kiran.

Just give me a name. Everything will be alright.

- Your son is alive. - Alive?

You call this being alive?

Go ask the doctor...

...how he's fighting for every breath.

I want that guy. The longer it takes...

...the bigger the body count will become.

Who was that man who was driving that wretched car?

The man who ran over Satnam?

I don't know.

- You've caught someone. - He says he didn't do it.

Bring him to me, just once. He'll spill out the truth.

Is he a Bhaiyya?

[Satbir] 'Harman gave you something, right?'

He gave me an inhaler. I've sent it for investigation.

Please give me one more week.

No drama. No bloodshed.

I'll speak to Pandit myself.

One week?

Okay.

What do I get in return for that one week?

Meet your son once more in the hospital?

Twice.

Alright, twice.

[Satto Di] 'Someone threw boiling oil on his face.'

Something was mixed in it as well.

Look at the boils.

I would keep seeing him at the corner shop.

He was so good-looking.

Your husband is a liar!

What happened?

The money that you gave me, was it to keep Guddan in jail...

...or to have him killed? Huh?

What money?

Satto Di, what money?

What money is Satto Di talking about?

Kesu?

Hey...

He'll get better, soon.

Sit down.

What were you saying about the money?

What money is Satto Di referring to?

Have you given her money?

How much did you give her?

Where did you get the money?

I'm getting scared now.

I'm very scared, for our kids...

...for this unborn child.

I'm scared of Pandit anyway.

But the person who scares me the most is you.

So much has happened and you still won't say a word.

[phone ringing]

- Who is this Lawyer Ruma? - Nobody.

Talk to her. Talk to her or else I'll talk to her.

I'll speak to her later. Not now.

I don't know what you're up to.

[ventilator beeping]

Any news?

You go and rest. Come in the morning.

Good night.

Nab him... nab him... nab him down.

Come on... come on.

Why are you moving so much?

Put him down!

Hold him.

Pour it. Pour it over him.

What are you guys doing!

What are you guys up to!

Leave me!

Leave me!

Untie me!

[stone pelting]

You motherfucker!

You seem to have grown some balls, is it?

Come out, you mother fucker!

Come on, come let's go.

[dogs barking]

-[Ruma] 'Hello?' -[Kashi] 'What happened now?'

-[Ruma] 'I'm leaving the case.' -[Kashi] 'What? But why?'

[Ruma] 'Guddan is under protective custody...'

'...and that's what's best for him now.'

'I've called you up to tell you that I will not fight this case anymore. '

[Kashi] 'Hello... Ruma... Hello?!'

[phone ringing]

Tell me.

[Kashi] 'Judge Sahib, will need to meet you urgently.'

Alright.

Who was that?

Grandmother?

- No. - Then who?

Abeer, you don't need to get worried about every phone call that I get.

Okay?

[door opening]

[door closing]

What?

What?

What... what? You're not supposed to be here, Abeer?

- But I'm just minding my own business. - Just stop it.

I know very well what you're trying to do.

Why don't you go and sit in your class?

Stop following me around, Abeer.

I need to talk to you.

It's about Abeer.

What is it now that you want to talk about?

It's just that he's so quiet all the time.

Looks low, as if he is depressed.

He's been like this since the last 9-10 months...

...ever since his mother passed away.

How did she die?

People say it was a suicide.

[train honking]

[door thuds]

Now there is a new screw up!

Why? What has happened now?

They've put Guddan in an isolated cell.

They're neither letting me meet him nor anybody else.

He's not scared of anyone there.

I hope he doesn't spill the beans.

M**********r.

My wife, my kids, my family...

It's all going to get f****d, Judge Sahib.

Enough is enough, Judge Sahib.

I'm going to the police and telling them the truth. Putting an end to this.

- You're scared? - I'm not scared.

- I'm literally shitting bricks. - Should I terrify you a little more?

Listen to this, two men pelted stones at my house last night.

- Who were they? - How should I know?

And a few days ago, Abeer and I were at a coffee shop.

Abeer was in the car while I went inside to get something.

A man came over, probably Satbir Mudki's goon.

He brazenly said, "Do you recognise me?"

These are the circumstances.

Does Mudki know that the car that caused the accident is yours?

How would I know what he knows and doesn't know?

All I know is that if Guddan opens his mouth...

...Mudki will not spare me, Abeer, Guddan or you.

They've burnt a Bhaiyya alive right in front of Guddan's eyes.

The entire jail dances to Mudki's tune.

Wouldn't the boy be shit scared?

And what about the 10 Lakh rupees that we gave him to keep his mouth shut?

Don't be stupid! Do you think he will give up his life for 10 Lakh rupees?

If the police torture him, he's spill everything.

He'll spill everything! He'll spill everything!

What will he tell? And who will he tell? The police?

And you think the police will protect him? You're not thinking straight.

If the police find out, it means Mudki finds out and if Mudki finds out...

...he won't care about who has done what!

If I am trapped in this situation, you're also trapped with me, Kashi.

Do you understand?

Guddan should not open his mouth!

- This is your responsibility. - B***s, my responsibility!

They're not even letting me meet him, I've told you this already!

So speak to Ruma!

- Ruma has left the case. - What?

Ruma has left the case!

[phone ringing]

- Yes? - Where are you?

I don't know where I am.

[Bishan] 'Are you drunk?'

How do you know?

Listen, if you're coming over...

...could you bring a bottle of wine? Please.

You're at home, right? I'm coming over.

[knock on the door]

Ruma?

[knock on the door]

Ruma, open the door.

[door opening]

- Where's the bottle? - You... Ruma!

You...

All this... What have you done to yourself?

[Ruma] 'It's too cold!'

It's too cold!

The towel is behind you.

The towel is behind you.

Ruma...

I want to go back.

- Okay, okay. - I want to go back home.

I'm sorry.

What happened?

Why are you smiling so much?

It's nothing.

Why did you leave the case?

You're giving up so easily?

What else could I have done?

They're blaming him for the motorcycle accident.

The guy who was on the motorcycle is in the hospital.

Do you know who he is?

- Who? - Satnam Mudki.

And who told you all of this?

Kiran Sekhon. She came over yesterday morning.

She showed me some photos...

...of a boy whose face was all burnt.

He was in jail along with Guddan.

A couple of days ago, I went to Gandi Chhapri.

Kiran says that one of Mudki's goons must have followed me...

...and this attack has happened because of me.

Now you tell me. You'd said...

...there's a case, would you like to take it up?

The defendant is a car thief.

Now gangsters are going around killing people...

...there are attacks in jail, how do I fight this case?

This is not the case that I took on.

And you are asking me why I dropped the case!

Kiran is a police officer.

She needs to show in her record how many cases she has solved.

Right now, she has a suspect...

...and it is the police's job to collect evidence for the prosecution.

She is doing exactly that.

She's a cunning one.

Why did you...

...go to Gandi Chhapri?

[Ruma] 'To find an alibi for Guddan.'

Guddan along with a friend, stole a car...

...exactly at the same time that your car was being stolen.

Did Guddan tell you this?

And this friend? What is his name?

[Ruma] 'Why do you want to know his name?'

I'm just trying to help you, that's all.

Shibbu Pandey. He's 16 or 17.

Shibbu Pandey.

And this Shibbu Pandey met you?

Nope, he didn't.

I went to meet him...

...but the people from the ghetto threw stones at me and drove me away.

These Bhaiyyas...

[Bishan] 'Sorry.'

These poor Bhaiyyas can do anything for each other.

They can lie to the police...

...they can lie to you, even if you're their lawyer.

Look, Ruma...

You should only be concerned about one thing.

[Bishan] 'That your client is in solitary confinement.'

Just this year...

...three inmates have tried to kill themselves in solitary confinement.

[Bishan] 'And one of them succeeded.'

Guddan needs you.

Don't abandon this case.

Fight this case.

I'm there with you.

They've burnt Pammi.

I know.

Alive.

I know.

He has a wife and two small kids.

You must know this as well.

My sympathies. Sorry.

Sorry.

What will his wife do with your sympathies?

Dad said no violence for a week.

What did you do?

Did you call up Pandit?

He doesn't take my call, what to do?

You gave my father your word.

All the best.

Sir, what should I say to him?

Tell him to keep quiet and not to open his mouth.

Whatever he says will be used by the police against him.

Hello, Judge Sahib.

Hello, Indu.

How are you?

[Bishan] 'Can I speak to Kashi?'

Before that, I need to speak to you.

Who is it?

Please come here and talk to me.

- Who is it? - Face to face.

- Like a man. - Give me the phone!

-[Indu] 'Right now, this very minute.' -[Kashi] 'Give me the phone!'

What are you doing? Judge Sahib.

Tell me, Judge Sahib?

Yeah, Kashi. Shibbu Pandey.

He's 16 or 17.

Do you know him?

Yeah, Indu knows his family. Why?

Will you do something for me?

For you or for Judge Sahib?

No.

For me.

If you don't want the father of your kids to go to jail...

They didn't grant me the permission to meet Guddan.

He's unwell.

Why? What happened to him?

They did not tell me.

No problem, I'll drop you home.

No, Sir. I need to go to the police station.

Why the police station?

White Lancer, Sir.

If the police investigate the car...

...they'll find both of their fingerprints.

Then Shibbu will not be able to say...

...that they didn't steal the car at that time.

Have you gone nuts?

Guddan can get an alibi. He can be acquitted.

Are you saying that I should let this go?

Ruma, my car was stolen in the morning.

Morning or afternoon, how do you know?

Because when I was leaving for court in the morning...

...I saw Guddan loitering near my car.

- You did? - Yes.

And I have identified him to the police as well.

This is something you never told me!

Ruma, the time gap between my car being stolen...

...and the accident is 6 hours.

You identified Guddan!

The accident site is just 20 minutes away from my house.

- Why don't you try to understand this... - Why didn't you tell me...

...that you identified Guddan to the police?

Because I wanted to see you fight this case.

I wanted you to get this boy acquitted.

Because he is innocent.

Do you want to fight this case or not?

Sir, if you ask me this question again then...

Then what?

Go to hell you and your...

You and your what?

Sir, just now you were explaining to me why I should fight this case...

...and now you're asking me if I want to fight this case or not?

What happened, why are you quiet now?

You are angry now. We'll speak when you calm down.

Look, Ruma...

Nobody has seen Guddan stealing my car.

Nobody has seen if Guddan has caused the accident.

You'll go to the police and you'll tell them...

...that your client is willing to plead guilty.

But only to the fact...

...that he drove the car without the owner's permission.

And they'll agree to this?

They won't agree, I know.

Then you'll say, he stole the car.

They'll say, 2 years of prison time. You'll ask for bail.

Bargain with them.

At the most...

...he'll go to jail and will be out within 1-2 months.

And how much time will Mudki's men take to kill him?

You're his lawyer!

Not his bodyguard!

Oh! This is something I haven't thought about at all!

I'm so stupid, aren't I?

I'm sorry.

I...

...was just giving you a suggestion.

Sorry, Sir...

But I can't take this suggestion of yours.

Ruma!

[phone ringing]

Yes, Lawyer Sahiba.

How may I help you now?

I told you about that white Lancer, did you investigate?

I also told you the name of the boy...

...who was with my client at that point of time. Did you arrest him?

Oh! You've brought quite a long list of orders.

And our work never stops.

[Ruma] 'So did you find out anything?'

We don't take orders from people like you.

I can report you.

Think about it, if a judge finds out...

...that I told you about a witness, I even gave you his address...

...but you did nothing about it.

- Is anybody free? -[man1] 'Yes, Ma'am.'

Need someone to go to Gandi Chhapri.

Tell him to take another person along with him.

- And take a tow truck as well. -[man1] 'Alright, Ma'am.'

- Need to bring a white coloured Lancer. -[man1] 'Which one?'

- White! -[man1] 'Okay, Ma'am.'

'What is the number of the car?'

What's the number? Number?

01885

- Zero, eighteen, eighty-five. -[man1] 'Okay, Ma'am.'

- And there's a boy... -[man1] 'Who?'

Shibbu Pandey.

Shibbu... Shibbu Pandey.

[man1] 'But Ma'am, we don't have the tow truck today.'

It's urgent. Bring it by tomorrow, for sure.

Happy now?

M********r.

Where is Shibbu?

He left just a while ago.

Tell him that the police are looking for him.

Why?

Abeer. What are you doing here?

Is everything alright?

- What are you doing? - What happened?

- I'm your teacher. - So?

- I'm 10 years older than you. - So?

So this is wrong.

Wrong? Who said that it is wrong?

- Come closer to me. - No.

I won't kiss you, I promise.

Please go away from here.

I just need one hug.

Judge Sahib.

You've done a lot for me.

Nobody else would have helped their maid's son achieve a better life...

...the way you have.

I'm standing with you in all this. Here take this.

Now whatever happens, we'll deal with it! F*****g hell!

Why the f**k are you laughing?

What grand plans we had for life, we'll be this and we'll be that.

Now look... what we've come down to!

There...

Hold on for a bit, Judge Sahib.

Judge Sahib...

Judge Sahib, the police are out there, what are you doing?

Judge Sahib, the police are out there!

Judge Sahib!

Judge Sahib!

Judge... Judge Sahib!

Judge Sahib, what?

Judge Sahib... Judge Sahib the police are...

Quickly, quickly, Judge Sahib, quickly...

Just pour all of it on the car quickly.

Judge Sahib, hurry up!

Quick... be quick, Judge Sahib!
