All language subtitles for The Trial S01 E08

Mr. Sengupta has shown
great disrespect

towards the judiciary in public.

Will Dad really come home?

The court has no reason
to deny his bail.

The prosecution has a new twist.
It's a rumour.

You are a good lawyer.

I initially had doubts,
but you came through.

Do you remember
calling Juhi a killer

after the verdict of the case?

My show is not a court, madam.
It's news.

Look at this wife,
who is going to spend

the night at a deserted hotel

in Mumbai with her ex-boyfriend,
who is now her current boss

-What the fuck is this?
-Are you asking me this question?

Do you think Mrs. Sengupta
is using this case

as a way to seek revenge
for her personal problems?

You are a very good person.
Please don't change.

Mr. Daksh Rathod has exploited
someone's personal life

in the media
and sensationalised a lie.

I want my work to speak for itself.

I can't represent you, Rajiv.

-You sold yourself out?
-I got scared.

We need a lawyer.

My family is currently going
through a difficult situation.

And this case
is very important to us.

I feel at home here.

And I know that we don't have
a better defence than this.

Noyonika is one of us.

So, rest assured, this case

is going to be our firm's
top priority now.

Thank you.

I really appreciate it.

Well, Noyonika, you do realise

that according to the Bar Council
rules, you can't defend Rajiv.

-I know that.
-But needless to say,

we'll need your help
to understand this case.

So do I.

Whatever you need.

Good then.

I'm going to put a support team
ready to assemble

the case files, evidence...

So, in my opinion,
there are three key witnesses.

Number one, Tina, who is an escort.
Bribery charges.

Number two, Accountant Rupesh,
who "allegedly"

transferred Joshi's cash payment
to you.

And number three, Sana, who also
allegedly handled the same cash.

That's correct.

The more information
you can provide about them

the stronger
our case will become.

We'll do our best.

The first hearing is in two days.

So naturally, our first step
should be to buy some time.

Malini, correct me if I'm wrong.

Judge Kalsekar
should be sympathetic to our cause

because he knows
that the lawyers have changed.

But this is an opportunity
for the prosecution

to argue against delays.

I will prepare a consolidated file
for you. I'll see you.

I'll get started. See you.

So, where should we start?

Rajiv, before we start,
I'd like to say something.

Daksh spoke a lot of nonsense
about Noyonika and me

during the case,
yet you trusted me.

And for that,
I'd like to say thank you.

I...

trust Noyonika completely.

Hi.

Where are you going?

The firm is representing Rajiv

and having a witness here
is not appropriate.

That's why I'm going
on a few days' leave.

More than anyone else,
you need to protect yourself.

From you?

From Dheeraj.

He has started convincing
the other lawyers.

At this speed, the permanent
position will be his for sure.

I'm used to being betrayed,
but I still don't give up.

Good morning, Your Lordship.

Advocate Vishal Chaubey
for the defence.

I have just taken over as council,
so I request the court

to grant some time for preparation.

This matter is not just about him,
but also about the dignity

of the court, and that's why
we do not want any delays.

Hearing adjourned for a week,
not a day more. The court is dismissed.

We need to do something
about Tina.

She is a problem.

-The focus should be on him.
-We need to corner her.

I know someone who can help.
Trust me.

The positions
are going to be finalised this week.

So, please give my recommendation.

You've always been
an inspiration to me.

The case you handled for Singhal
is like a textbook example.

We have all studied that.

It would be great if we
can work together sometime.

Let me open it.

There you go.

Ms. Tina, what were your dealings
with Mr. Rajiv Sengupta?

Rajiv likes free gifts,
just like the way he got me.

And how long did this go on for?

It started
when he was just a lawyer.

But we last met
a few weeks before his arrest.

And did he know
why you were meeting him?

He knew that I was his payment
from Mr. Joshi.

-Your witness.
-Thank you.

According to your statement,
Mr. Sengupta knew

that someone else
was paying your fees.

-Correct.
-I'm just a little confused.

Why did he personally
make payments to you?

Your Lordship,
we would like to submit

this account statement

of one Ms. Latika Kalra.

This is your real name, right?

The account was closed
just a few days ago

and all transactions
have been verified.

Continuous deposits
of Rs. 20,000.

In that file, Your Lordship,
you will also find

Mr. Sengupta's bank statements,
which show corresponding withdrawals

of Rs. 20,000
or slightly higher amounts.

Approximately on the same dates
or nearby dates.

So, tell me, Tina...
I'm sorry, Ms. Kalra.

Did our client make any payment
to you for your services or not?

-Mr. Joshi also paid me.
-I'm sure he must have.

But this matter
is between Mr. Joshi and you, right?

If our client made a payment
to you for your services,

then this wouldn't be
considered a bribe for him, right?

You cannot prove anything by
making such statements in court.

You can only prove it in court.

No more questions, Your Lordship.

Vishal argued very well today.

I wish I could have argued.

Good. One day at a time.
It'll happen.

Guys, we got lucky with Tina.

But tomorrow their main witness,
Rupesh, is going to testify.

No transaction in his ledger
is directly connected to me.

And a self-written ledger will not
be accepted as evidence in court.

He has managed accounts
all this life.

Do you think he mustn't
have calculated the impact

this case will have on his life?

Don't worry. The truth will prevail.

At least don't say all this
when there's no one around.

If truth prevails, you will lose.

So let's hope tomorrow
that the truth does not prevail.

Let me take that.

You know,
I closed Khanna's case today.

It was a bit complicated,
but I handled it.

Rajiv likes free gifts,
just like the way he got me.

It started
when he was just a lawyer.

But we last met
a few weeks before his arrest.

More than anyone else,
you need to protect yourself.

Dheeraj has started convincing
the other lawyers.

At this speed, the permanent
position will be his for sure.

Yeah, tonight for sure.

Noyonika, how is the case going?

I'm not here to talk about the case.

Sit.

Six months have almost
come to an end.

I know.

And you also know that
we really like you, Vishal and I both.

But at this moment,

the firm needs funds, not friends.

I have handled several high-profile
cases and won some as well.

I know.

But unfortunately, what is
really important right now

is who is bringing in
more profits.

If I am only given pro bono cases,
then how will I generate profits?

Look...

Dheeraj has no commitments
or family that can keep him busy.

So he works 20 hours a day.

His winning numbers
and working hours are both high.

Malini...

I... really need this job.

So I've heard

that, if you really want something
you never had,

you've got to do something
you've never done.

Like what?

Use your contacts.

Bring big business for the firm.

Despite being associated
with such high-profile people,

you haven't brought
any work from anyone.

I've never done something like that.

So, now is as good a time
to start as any, isn't it?

-Hello.
-Good evening, Mrs. Sengupta.

I'm calling from Covent Garden
Academy High School.

Your daughter's fees is still
pending for the last six months.

Yes, I know.

I'll take care of it.

-Yeah.
-Thank you.

-Ilyas?
-Hi.

Rajiv is not at home.

He's gone out with the kids.

I know he is on his way home.

-Coffee?
-Green tea, please.

Are you okay?

I'm trying to be.

Don't worry.
Everything will be fine.

Just as it has been so far.

It could have been worse, you know.

How is work?

The probation period is ending.

I'll soon know whether
the position is permanent or not.

Come on, how can anyone dismiss you?

You have done so much
for the firm in, what, six months?

They don't think so.

They think
I should bring in bigger clients

by utilising Rajiv's contacts.

Otherwise, I am of no use to them.

For now, Rajiv is unable
to help himself, so...

What do you mean?

Jhadav is a very powerful man.

He won't let us win the case.

Vishal is a good lawyer.
Don't underestimate him.

Yes, Vishal is a very good lawyer.

But now it is beyond law and order.

So, what's the solution?

I want us to drag this case
for five years, buy some time.

And how will that benefit?

Rajiv will join politics.

MLA, confirmed.

But he wants to sort out
his family life first.

He wants to be a good son,
a good father, and a good husband.

He wants to win
the hearts of everyone.

After what the kids
have been through,

it's a good thing
that he is thinking about them.

Yes, but if he keeps losing
to Jhadav and going to jail,

it won't help the kids,
will it?

Power over freedom.

Cookies?

Power is freedom.

There are many people
who are willing to give

Rajiv a ticket
because of his popularity.

People have sympathy for Rajiv.

We will do an image makeover

that Rajiv has changed his ways
and he wants to serve the people.

Power does not suit Rajiv.

He misuses it.

If you don't support Rajiv,

then how will the future
of your family be secured?

Do you genuinely want to help him

or take credit to create
a new political star?

I can't make up my mind.

-I--
-I don't want Rajiv

to join politics. Clear?

What's the matter, Mr. Pratap?

My Lord, we are waiting
for our witness, Mr. Rupesh.

-Where is he?
-We don't know, My Lord.

Actually, we can't reach him.

Rupesh...

Mr. Ilyas told me you have a deal
for me, which is why I came.

Ma'am,
I understand numbers, not people.

Good.

-What is this?
-A new life.

Tickets, visa,
passport, Hong Kong...

I've heard that there is a high
demand for accountants there.

Ma'am, your husband
is the criminal, not me.

But this will be
the best option for you.

The flight departs in five hours.
Please pack your belongings.

Why should I run away?
I am very happy with my life here.

Do the math, as you've been
keeping accounts all your life.

When this case is over,
and this man here involves you

in a case of maintaining

25 more fraudulent transactions

and sends you summons,
where will you go?

I have full immunity.

Immunity is only for this case.
It's not a lifetime membership.

Either go to jail
or run away.

You might send me away,
but your husband has many enemies.

You can't save him.

That's your problem,
not the court's problem.

The hearing is adjourned
until afternoon.

Until then, find him.

Or find another way
to argue your case.

Obliged.

I don't understand
where Rupesh has gone.

He has just disappeared.

Your testimony
should petrify them.

Tell them everything.

All the underhanded things
you have done for him...

Got it?

Ms. Sana Shaikh, how do you know
the defendant, Rajiv Sengupta?

I went to him seeking work.
But I wasn't suitable

for his posh firm,
so he hired me as a consultant.

What does a consultant handle?

Private matters.

Like?

Tracking witnesses,
gathering information,

harassing the police, sending
notices here and there, et cetera.

Unofficially or illegally?

The laws were twisted,
but not broken.

Just like converting
black cash payment to white?

Ms. Shaikh, did you handle
the cash payments

made by N.M. Joshi
to Rajiv Sengupta?

Sorry, what?

I asked if you handled
the cash payments

made by N.M. Joshi
to Rajiv Sengupta?

I am hearing this name
for the first time.

Rajiv Sengupta did not work
with any such person.

Ms. Sana, are you trying to say

that Rajiv never took
any money from Joshi?

Maybe before I joined
or after I quit.

But I haven't seen
any such payments.

Ms. Sana Shaikh, let me remind you
that you are under oath.

You've sworn to tell the truth.

Objection, Your Lordship.

Prosecution is badgering
his own witness.

My Lord, the witness is turning hostile.
She is changing her statement.

Ms. Shaikh, is there any reason
why you are changing your statement?

My Lord, Mr. Rajiv Sengupta
suddenly terminated my employment.

I was angry,
so I fabricated this story.

But I realised that telling a false
story in court would be wrong.

Mr. Pratap, do you have
any more questions for the witness?

Mr. Pratap, call your next witness.

We have no more witnesses,
My Lord.

It's shameful to make
such baseless accusations

against a senior judge
of the judiciary.

The prosecution's case was
not only weak

but also malicious.

Therefore, I dismiss all charges

against Mr. Rajiv Sengupta.

He is free to go.

I will never let you down.

Thank you for doing this for me.

I did this for my family.

Thank you.

Noyonika deserves all the thanks.

Thank you.

Pleasure.

-Here.
-It's your turn.

Hello.

Sorry, I'm calling so late at night.

I hope I'm not disturbing you.

Will it count
in my billable hours?

I wanted to congratulate you.

This is really a big one.

All thanks to you.

Rather than feeling happy
for saving Rajiv,

I find myself experiencing
a sense of regret.

What do you mean?

I'm just kidding.

Honestly, I'm happy
for you, Noyonika.

For your family.

All okay?

I had something to tell you,

and it's better
you hear it from me.

Malini and the other senior lawyers
are favouring Dheeraj.

It's okay. I understand.

Thank you for everything.

No, Noyonika, thank you.

But without you,
nothing makes sense.

I don't feel like
doing anything.

You have to get used to it.

Good night.

Good night.

Welcome back.

Is the trial over?

I'm sorry I doubted you.

If Rupesh would have testified,
then...

It would've become impossible
for me to change my statement.

But he disappeared,
and I got my freedom.

-And if he hadn't disappeared?
-Then...

It would have been
as intended by fate.

You have returned,
and I am leaving.

What do you mean?

Did Dheeraj get the position?

It's not official.

Noyonika, you are a much better
lawyer than Dheeraj.

Noyonika.

Vishal and Malini want to meet us.

Stay in touch.

I thoroughly enjoyed
working with you.

That's how I am.

-I'm glad this turned out like this.
-Yes.

-You be in touch, and I'll see you.
-See you.

All the best.

Noyonika, can you come in, please?

Come, sit.

Congratulations.

All of Ilyas's high-profile
political clients want to sign up

with the same law firm
that helped Rajiv win the case.

If it wasn't for you, we would
have never got Rajiv's case.

So the position is yours, Noyonika.

It all worked out.

For all of us.

Dheeraj, I...

I forgot that, no matter
how hard you work,

nepotism often
takes precedence.

Congratulations, Mrs. Sengupta.

Since you've entered our lives,
you've been playing the role

of a helpless woman
and fooling all of us.

"Poor Noyonika.
Look how hard she works!"

"How much she does for her family!"
And boom!

You used political contacts
and stole the job?

I have a family too.

My family is poor. My father
is in jail. Do you know why?

Because he was involved
in a theft of Rs. 1 lakh.

How much does your bag cost?

I wanted my brother
to become an IAS officer.

So this job was crucial for me.

That's why I am working
so hard for it.

People like us struggle more
in life than your courtroom, ma'am.

But the rich only feel
the pain of the rich.

Because people like you change
the law to suit your convenience.

Neither do you care
about humanity, nor justice.

Struggle is a part
of everyone's life, Dheeraj.

But some people use it
as an excuse,

while others use it as
a stepping stone to success.

Did you fly here?

I have come to celebrate
with my friend.

You came early?

Did you get fired, Noyonika?

Aw! Very funny.

I know that you know.

But because of you, my position
has become permanent today.

So, thank you.

You have done a lot
for Rajiv and me.

I'm grateful.

We are family.

Oh, you're back early?
All good?

Yes, more than good.

Today, my position
has become permanent.

-Wow, congratulations!
-Thank you.

-Double celebration.
-Absolutely.

Noyonika, thank you
so much for everything.

Ilyas is also here,
and I want to tell you something.

When I was in jail, you did
a lot for everyone all by yourself.

Now I have come home.

After this acquittal,
Ilyas feels, and, in fact, I also feel

that my popularity
is at its peak.

And I should work
on a makeover of my image.

-What do you mean?
-I mean...

-Give us a minute, please.
-Sure, take your time.

We want to hold
a press conference

where I want to publicly apologise
to my family.

Please don't.

The kids don't need
any more media coverage.

No, it's going to be positive.

Noyonika, I want to return
to my work

and practise law again.

And I really need this, please.

-Please.
-Okay.

Okay!

You will have to come
with me on stage.

What!

No! Absolutely not!

-Just for a minute.
-No!

Just for a minute.

You have to understand this,
Noyonika.

I want to say in front of everyone

what I couldn't say to you here,
in this house, please.

I can't believe you, Rajiv.

Just... It's still all about you?

Still?

These people
will always dominate the poor.

What do you want, sir?

Your anger.

I want to ruin both

this firm
and this family.

-Hi.
-Hey.

I have to leave early today.

I need to be present
at Rajiv's press conference.

That means you are taking full
advantage of being permanent.

No more late nights?

Maybe you chose the wrong candidate.

Don't even think about it.

They organised a press conference
just to say thank you to you?

In front of the world.

Will you be happy with him,
Noyonika?

Marriage is just about
fulfilling responsibilities, right?

Happy or not,
friends are the ones who ask that.

I have to go.

When I was in jail,

the guard used to wake me up
every morning at 5 o'clock.

There used to be one in the bathroom
queue, one at the courtyard.

Twelve guards throughout the day

telling you what to do
and how to be.

There is only one difference
between us and animals.

Human beings can choose.

Advertisements, peer pressure,
influencers

tell us what we should
and shouldn't do.

It's a game.

And if you want to win this game,
you have to be a part of it.

You think power doesn't suit me.

But trust me, power will give me
the advantage to do good.

Power corrupts, Rajiv.

And absolute power
corrupts absolutely.

If you don't want power
to corrupt me,

then be with me.

Only you can save me, Noyonika,
please.

Rajiv, it's... it's time.

And now,
over to the community centre

where Mr. Sengupta
will be addressing the press.

I am glad that you all have
come here today to support Rajiv.

In the past 10 years,
I don't know of anyone

who has made
such a comeback.

So, please welcome him.

Write good things about him.

You are all aware that Rajiv
has overcome numerous difficulties

and reached this position today.

In a new form, with a new identity.

I'd like to present to you,
Mr. Rajiv Sengupta.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

-Thank you all for...
-Hello.

Hey, I need to tell you something.

Or else, I will never be able

to forgive myself
for the rest of my life.

All okay, Vishal?

I love you, Noyonika.

I have always loved you.

-And?
-And?

What's the plan after "I love you"?

I'm a married woman.

I have children, a husband,
and a family.

Love is easy, but maintaining
relationships is difficult.

And if people come to know

that we are having
this conversation,

then they will think

that I got the job for this reason.

And I can't afford
to be humiliated anymore.

You all know that the allegations
made against me were false.

Now I'm free.

Life is giving us
a second chance, Noyonika.

Do you want to reject it?

I'm just giving you clarity.

Love alone is not enough.

If there are any future plans,
then let me know.

I have to go.

I have always
raised my voice for justice,

which has made me many enemies.

And those enemies turned
one of my mistakes into a crime.

My strength
has always been my family.

Now, I want to invite my lifesaver,

my support system, my wife, onstage

without whom I wouldn't have
made it through this journey.

I want to apologise
to her in front of everyone today

for the humiliation
she had to face.

Noyonika, please.

Come.

Noyonika, I don't care anymore
about what is right or wrong.

I have a plan.

Leave Rajiv, Noyonika.
Please.

Marry me.

You deserve better, my darling.
A better life.

I have always loved you,
and it's about time you knew.

Here I am, waiting for you.

Praying that you listen
to your heart

and give us a chance, Noyonika.

What if...

And if you still feel that...

that this is wrong,
that you feel nothing for me

then delete this message,
Noyonika.

And we'll go back to being friends.

Like we always have.

But I love you.

One more thing.

I now want to serve the society.

And I have decided to compete
in the state election.

If you do the right thing
with the wrong person,

then, instead of justice,

you will only receive betrayal.
