He still calls me a murderer.
Juhi Bhatia has sent a legal notice. The hearing is next week.
-Who's the lawyer? -Noyonika Sengupta.
It's the client that wins or loses the case. All we do is fight.
You really don't have a heart, do you?
It was broken once.
You're taking care of Mom, aren't you?
She's hardly at home these days. Early morning, late night.
She's in the office most of the time.
Here's the final PIL. I finished it myself.
I know those pills of yours aren't Ayurvedic medicines.
No one can benefit from this wretched office.
Malini, I'm leaving and taking my clients with me.
When this Titanic sinks,
you two will be seen standing on the deck, playing the violin.
When your dad comes back, I'll prepare Narkel Naru.
It's his favourite.
Will Dad really come home?
Of course! He promised you, didn't he?
Really, Mom?
The court doesn't have a reason to deny his bail.
Despite that, they have denied it once before.
So... let's just hope for the best.
You don't have to be so negative, Noyonika.
I'm not being negative, Mother.
I'm teaching the kids about a middle path, practicality.
Some things are greater than practicality.
Like?
Let's go.
I always prayed for a good father for my children.
But I forgot to pray for a good husband.
The firm is downsizing.
The dinosaurs with a fat salary will be sacrificed first
then the senior staff, and then the juniors.
You should have accepted Ahuja's job offer.
-Why didn't you? -Would you have done it?
No. We middle-class people can never become royalty
thanks to our loyalty.
Is the builder's pro bono case settled now?
After Kishore's exit, this office needs an overhaul.
The labourers of Silver Vista Builders
have already filed a complaint
that they were being made to work overtime regularly.
Seven days a week, double shifts.
And they'd make these overworked, sleep-deprived people
operate hydraulic jacks, lift beams weighing 50 tonnes...
In fact, I'm surprised more people didn't die.
Isn't it?
I'm glad your clients
didn't kill their co-workers along with themselves.
Or else Silver Vista would get blamed for their deaths too, right?
-Easy on the sarcasm, please. -Anyway.
Our client cares about the families of these workers.
So, they'd like to offer Rs. 1 lakh each
-to every widow, as compensation. -Rs. 1 lakh!
That's generous.
I wish they could offer some shame too.
Why don't you ask your clients first?
If they say no, they'll get nothing after this.
Rs. 1 lakh? But you said they'd offer at least Rs. 5 lakh.
This isn't their final offer. They just want to see our reaction.
Madam, we don't want their money.
We want them to apologise to us.
-Should we take the money? -Are you crazy?
How will we survive? Our children will starve to death.
This is what they want.
For helplessness to win and courage to lose.
Do you think we can get more money, madam?
Look, only you can decide
what you rightfully deserve.
-We can only support you. -Those people are shameless.
That manager Ayaaz doesn't even talk to us politely.
Ayaaz?
The project manager is Sharad Domble, right?
There isn't just one manager, ma'am. Hold on.
Look at this.
When we first demanded compensation, this letter had his name.
Ayaaz Akthar?
So...
We have an answer for you.
No.
11:00 a.m. Tina and her friends
are talking about her ex-boyfriend Bablu at the poolside.
That gangster Bablu was crazy about you too.
Where is he these days? Underground?
Isn't she the one from Dad’s video?
That judge looked handsome in that video.
The poor guy fell in love with me.
He was getting me an apartment. He even offered me a job.
Oh! So, did you give him... a job?
Those who don't get snacks at home go to Bangkok to eat Chinese, right?
-That was the case with him. -Oh! So, were you his Bangkok?
-It's a family show. Let it be. -Tell us. It'll help with the TRPs.
In bed, he'd say, "Call me My Lord.".
What the hell are you guys watching!
Go to your rooms right now!
In bed, he'd say, "Call me My Lord."
Your Ladyship, the names of three employees are mentioned
in this letter which were kept from us.
Now these are key witnesses in this case,
and that's why we've filed an application
to summon these employees.
My Lady, these accusations are absolutely ridiculous.
Mr. Chaubey, we've given you ample time in this case.
Giving more time would be excessive.
Mrs. Bahl will present those three witnesses.
You'll have three days to cross-examine them.
-Three days? -Yes.
You can do this in your office. You have all the facilities.
So, what is the problem?
Your Ladyship, just a little more time, please.
Two days, then?
Three days would be fine, Your Ladyship.
Good. This session is adjourned.
Are you all right?
Tina seemed very fake to me.
What? She's trending at number two on the internet.
Guys, it's okay. My life has bigger problems than the internet.
-Okay? -Yes, like Vishal and Malini
have called us to their cabin. Let's go.
If we continue doing pro bono social service all the time,
then there will come a time
where we won't have money to fight our own case.
That's why I'm out.
So, Dheeraj will help you with this case.
Okay. Who are the new witnesses?
Engineering supervisor Pratyush Saini,
HR manager Richa Bhandari, and--
And Ayaaz Akthar, the additional project manager.
If I were Shivani Bahl, I'd feel threatened by Ayaaz Akthar the most.
I think he approved these overtime hours.
Okay.
Cross-examine him properly.
If we can get any information,
that's enough to restart negotiations.
-Yeah. -And...
You guys have three days, so no pressure.
Mr. Pratyush Saini.
Are you the engineering supervisor of this project?
Yes.
According to these invoices, you also purchased
-chain pulleys for this project? -Yes, it's a standard upgrade, sir.
-You also got a mobile crane made. -Standard upgrade.
Mrs. Richa Bhandari, have you been in HR for five years now?
Only for the office staff, not for the construction workers.
And... Ayaaz Akthar?
Did he approve the working hours of the labourers?
I... I don't know.
Did those workers work overtime before the crash?
I don't know.
What's the standard operating procedure for the double shifts?
I don't know.
Mr. Akhtar, in the last five years, your labourers have been reducing
and your towers are getting even taller.
As a project manager, can you tell us how?
All this is because of new technology, ma'am.
But do you make your workers work double shifts
in order to use this new technology, like you did that day?
-It doesn't work that way. -Then tell us how it works.
Your bosses make you work hard too, don't they?
You might work overnight also?
We pay double the money for double shifts.
How can we be wrong then?
I'd like to request a recess, please.
But we're not done with our questioning yet.
You all have only 15 minutes.
Now I understand why Shivani is hiding him.
He's stupid and ill-mannered.
I'm sure he'll blurt something out if we try to instigate him.
I guess she got scared.
We can also benefit from the three days you asked for.
-What nonsense is this! -What is it?
It's an affidavit. We have a witness who can testify that Yash,
one of your clients, was a drug addict.
This is common among labourers. Cheap drugs.
The judge will accept it immediately.
If he was a drug addict, why did they make him work 20 hours a day?
It's very easy to blame a dead person.
I think we should continue the cross-examination tomorrow.
-What do you think? -And for what?
Dheeraj.
Fine. Tomorrow.
Are you sure he wasn't a drug addict?
I knew him since he was 15 years old.
If he was a drug addict, how'd he be able to work 20 hours a day, madam?
That's all I wanted to hear. Thank you.
Thank you for checking up on me.
Richa, is everything okay?
I just want to say that what our company is doing is wrong.
Whatever you say will remain between us. Right?
Absolutely.
Search for Rohini Towers. Don't tell anyone I came here.
Okay. You...
Rohini Towers.
I'm very disappointed with you both.
Mom, she suddenly appeared on the show.
She's a wildcard entry.
Why do you watch such shows that have people like her?
There are memes and videos everywhere on social media.
Should we stop looking on the internet too?
Whenever there is news about Dad,
we behave as if we don't know Dad at all.
The man on the internet isn't your dad.
It's just a character
that the social media has created.
-Then what Tina said-- -What she said doesn't matter to us.
-Dad had an affair with that Tina. -Ananya!
Anaira needs honesty, not protection.
Then let's ask Dad who's telling the truth and who's lying.
Okay.
That woman can do anything for money and publicity.
And when outsiders try to break a family apart,
the family must unite
and look after each other
or we make things easier for them.
Now, are we fighting, or are we family?
Family.
Okay.
Render this footage. We'll see the rest tomorrow morning.
Okay? Tell me if there's any other update.
I've been trying to call you. Why weren't you answering?
I was covering this story. It was on silent mode.
Tell me why you were calling me.
Is there no information from anywhere
about Rohini Towers?
These days they send me to take pictures
of the children of Bollywood celebrities.
News reporting is a thing of the past.
Now, the one who can capture a picture
of Neha Kapoor's child is the best reporter.
Earlier, all builders would use the same
kind of chain pulley to lift a load.
Trying to save money.
Accidents usually happen due to overloading.
The same happened at Rohini Towers of Silver Vista.
And... did you report from there at that time?
Of course, I went on-site to see.
But Silver Vista bought a full-page ad in our newspaper
and convinced everyone that it was a small accident
and no damage was done.
That day, there was an engineer on-site.
He was double-checking all the jacks.
They all had oil leakages due to overloading.
Perhaps it was Pratyush.
Meet him and see if you can get some information.
-I have to... Yes. -Pratyush.
We've entered the wrong lane.
The equipment was faulty, not the manager.
And they weren't hiding the project manager
but the engineering supervisor, Pratyush, from us.
So, we only have to prove that Pratyush knew
the jacks were being overloaded and were faulty.
Then it's a clear case of negligence.
Okay, Noyonika, take the lead tomorrow.
As you said earlier,
you had upgraded all the chain pulleys, right?
Yes, ma'am, we only use the latest and safest equipment.
I'm happy to hear that.
So, can you tell us what happened on the site of Rohini Towers?
W-Which site?
Rohini Towers, the apartment complex of Silver Vista.
There was an accident over there, right?
Your German hydraulic jacks leaked
and malfunctioned due to overloading.
A-Actually, ma'am, I was not part of that project.
But as a senior engineer, you must have visited the site.
Aren't these the same jacks that our clients were using
on the night of the accident?
Objection. Mrs. Tina...
Oh, I'm so sorry. Mrs. Sengupta
-is badgering the witness. -What the hell!
-How dare you! -Mrs. Sengupta! Please calm down.
-Pratyush, don't answer that. -Is that professional behaviour?
Please note in the record that the council is getting aggressive.
-I'm aggressive? Honestly? -Please maintain decorum.
Sir, I don't think this is the right environment for us to continue this.
-Really? Environment? -In the proceeding, please.
-What is the right environment? -Session is adjourned!
Thank you, sir.
Fuck!
Bloody bitch.
People are so mean, aren't they?
When you're going through a hard time,
everyone takes undue advantage of it.
And then there are people like Tina
who make a business out of their hard times.
My children
have grown ten years older in just three months.
And I have no answers to their questions.
All I have is shame.
This shame that I have to live with.
Every day.
You...
Talk to Rajiv.
I need to get on to my case.
By the way...
I saw Pratyush the other day. He was wearing the typical office ID.
If we scan the company's records,
we'll get his entry and exit on that day.
And we'll know when he went to Rohini Towers.
Do you know today's cross-examination is closed?
Already? How?
Well...
We got carried away by arguments.
But it wasn't Noyonika's fault. Actually...
What wasn't her fault?
For God's sake, Malini, please don't be naive.
You know Shivani's tricks.
She instigated Noyonika on purpose, because Shivani was trapped.
We're letting experienced lawyers go
and saving that liability here?
-You're saying this? -What?
No, I mean
you're the flag bearer of women empowerment, aren't you?
Then save your employee from sexist attacks.
Vishal, I'm only interested in saving the firm.
Because the men who I thought were my partners
turned out to be problems for me.
One betrayed and left, the other is trying to be a superhero.
Why do you always jump in to save her?
Is this just an old friendship,
or should we be calling it something else?
ARTHUR ROAD JAIL
What are you doing here?
Why have you come?
I work with your wife now. Didn't she tell you?
Did Noyonika send you?
She doesn't know that she needs your help.
Tina has gone to that reality show. She's making a mess over there.
-I heard. -Then do something.
Sana, you're one of those people
who care about no one else other than themselves.
Why are you here?
Well, you don't deserve forgiveness either.
But I thought, if you help her,
maybe you can make a place for yourself in her heart.
Why do you want to sort out my life?
She's innocent. She shouldn't be making frequent visits to court.
She's miserable right now, and so are your children.
After getting out of here, if your relationship is still intact,
she might not have to do this dirty work.
I've committed many sins. I want to do a good deed now.
Hey, Noyonika? Where are you headed in such a hurry?
Silver Vista offices. I requested a record inspection.
They said, if I want to see it, I must come right away.
Right now? Let me come with you.
He's keeping an eye on us.
By the way, I heard what happened with Shivani.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
This is the day of the Rohini Towers accident.
It takes at least two hours to go to the site and come back here.
Pratyush left at 6:42 p.m.
but came back in an hour.
Yeah, but that's not possible.
Even over here.
He left at 9:48, and he's back at 10:33.
Richa Bhandari left with him too. Same time.
Just a few minutes apart.
But why do they all leave almost together?
Have you seen the hotel opposite the office?
-Good evening, madam. -Good evening, sir.
How can I help you?
Just... I needed a small favour, madam.
If you don't mind, would it be possible for you
to share your guest list record with us? Just for five minutes.
Thank you.
People think we're here to book a room too.
Thank you, madam.
Thank you.
Tina, none of the cameras are recording now.
What's going on?
There's a change in the format of the show, ma'am.
-Who are you? -My name isn't important to know.
But the job I'm about to offer you is important.
What job?
I'm from Rajiv's legal team. I'm here to make you an offer.
Rajiv wants you to quit this show right now,
and don't ever mention his or his wife's name again.
Really? So his wife is angry.
He didn't care about her when he'd leave her and come to me.
Look, mister, this show is paying me a lot of money.
My contract is being extended too.
But if Rajiv can offer me something...
There's no way you'll get any money, madam.
But if you don't leave this set right now,
then I'll have to call Bablu.
W-Who?
Bablu Khan, gangster.
Your lover. You enticed Rajiv to get away from him.
Should I call him?
Because Rajiv will no longer protect you now.
-And what if I quit the show? -Then we'll handle Bablu.
He's just greedy for money, but you don't even have any money.
So, he can get a lot more from you.
You will quit the show today itself.
And if they don't let you quit, just hit a contestant.
Okay?
Good. It's done.
Okay, there's another thing that you need to do for me.
Noyonika ma'am, I'm sorry.
Whatever I did was wrong,
and I will never mention yours or Rajiv sir's name again in life.
I promise.
Hi. I need a trim.
I'm sorry, we're fully booked. There's no space.
But there's only one customer here.
Still, there's no space for you. Thank you.
Killer.
I put my job at risk by giving you information,
and you dug into my personal life? Is this what you call humanity?
Richa, I have nothing to do with your personal life.
I just need to find out what Pratyush said to you
on the night of the accident.
He only wanted to talk to me. He was very upset.
He knew there was a problem with the hydraulic jacks.
He was trying to get them replaced.
This is all you have to testify.
That before the accident
Pratyush was aware of the problem with the jacks.
I-I can't do this.
Richa, I don't have any document or proof.
I don't even have time. All I have is you. Please.
I only know this because Pratyush and I...
Yes, Apurva. What is Rishabh doing?
His fever has come down. He's missing you.
Mom, please come back home.
I'll finish this meeting and come, okay?
It's not their fault.
But if you force me to testify,
then my family will be ruined.
What people have done to you, don't do the same to me.
Please.
Hot chocolate?
That lady was ousted from the show.
She slapped someone, and she was out.
You're still watching that show?
Sorry, Mom.
For watching TV?
No, for fighting with you.
I just get... very angry
wondering why this happened to me.
I mean, I don't understand.
It's okay.
Perhaps this is life.
We're supposed to play
with the cards that destiny dealt us.
Some win a jackpot, while some go bankrupt.
But I don't know how to play cards.
-How's work? -It's okay.
There's some confusion, though.
Because if I win the case
some important people will get justice.
But those who lose
their families will suffer a lot, along with them.
Why is justice so unfair?
We always have chocolate.
Oh, madam.
Madam, you know, that accident
happened in my municipal ward.
So, are you after this case, or are you after me?
I don't care about whatever happened between Rajiv and you.
I'm just doing my job.
Everyone's doing their jobs here, madam.
I'll get your job done too.
My Lady, the opposing council disrupted
the cross-examination twice.
Her intention is to delay the proceedings.
The court commissioner has witnessed that the cross-examination
was disrupted due to Mrs. Sengupta's conduct.
Mrs. Bahl, I'm interested in the facts of this case
not in someone's personal life. I advise you to just stick to it.
Yes, My Lady.
My Lady, we need an extension to cross-examine a witness.
Why are you wasting the court's time?
Cross-examine right now.
If Richa lies about her affair,
then Shivani will call it perjury and get her testimony ineligible.
I'm ready to listen to the witness.
And mind it, no more delays, counsel.
Your Ladyship, may we call Richa Bhandari to the stand, please?
Mrs. Richa Bhandari.
We've submitted hotel bookings in court.
On the night of the accident,
Pratyush and you were together in the same room, in this hotel.
Room number 603, right?
No.
You have sworn to the court to tell the truth.
And we have hotel bookings
in which both of you have submitted your Aadhar cards.
Yes... We were together.
Engineering supervisor Pratyush Saini, right?
Yes.
I made a mistake in understanding you, madam.
You're even more dangerous than your husband.
-So, what are the demands? -Very nominal.
First, the builder must personally apologise to every widow.
Then, Rs. 10 lakh per head, along with an apartment each
in the amazing new tower of Silver Vista.
-I'll just make a call. -Please.
Thank you. For taking care of us.
Belated happy birthday.
Hello.
What?
Juhi Bhatia was spotted outside a beauty salon.
While some people say a person can't stop crying
over the death of their beloved,
we all understand that one's life must get back to normal.
She's alive but in a coma.
How did it happen?
She consumed an entire bottle of sleeping pills.
You may call this her helplessness or willingness,
but Juhi's life has become normal again.
When the maid found her, Daksh Rathod's show was on.
He was badmouthing her on TV.
Not to work or pray, but to groom herself.
Because now, she's single and is looking for a new relationship.
That's why let me warn you, especially if you're successful.
The journey of life is like a train ride.
Some decide to alight it,
but the rest have to quietly wait for the station to arrive.
You should come to the office right now, it's an emergency, okay?
If you know where he is, tell me.
If I have to find him, it'll be a problem for him.
But I didn't do anything. I've never even scolded her.
Wow! You turned out to be James Bond!
If he keeps losing to Jhadav and going to prison
it won't help the children, will it?
Power over freedom?
What if you hadn't met Rajiv? What if we were together?
Do you think Mrs. Sengupta
is avenging her personal problems through this case?
Your testimony should petrify them.
Did you handle the cash payments
given to Rajiv Sengupta from N.M. Joshi?
