Hello, ma'am.
Oh! Vijji.
What a pleasant surprise.
Don't pretend, Ishani.
This isn't pleasant for either of us.
What do you want?
You have to take care of Anu and her child in jail...
until her delivery.
That is Bikram's child. Nothing should happen to it.
What do I get?
I've heard that your bail applications
keep getting rejected.
Now it won't.
Once Anu delivers her baby.
That won't be enough.
Mandira Mathur will have to fight my case.
I'll see what I can do about that.
For free.
Listen.
Yes.
-I need to go to the bathroom. -So?
Can you clean it, please?
Clean it? Okay.
There. All clean now.
Oh, my.
She's taken over the entire house.
-Sprained your neck? -No, I don't want to talk looking at you.
More sugar or less?
Leave it. I'll make my own. Move.
Stop acting like a child!
If I'm here, I'm going to make tea.
You've already stolen my peace.
-What's next? My bedroom and my dishes? -No.
I'll serve you tea.
How do you like the tea?
Tastes like tea. I was hoping it would taste more like coffee,
but it's okay, can't be helped now.
Listen, please.
I...
I was hoping you could take me out today.
I wanted to see Bandstand, Gateway and Juhu Chowpatty.
-Yes? -Can we go?
Okay, why don't I book a helicopter for you today?
We can see Mumbai from the skies.
From up there, you can wave at the poor children.
Okay.
Silly woman, all these places are very far from each other.
Fine, then just take me to one place.
I've never even seen the ocean. Let's go to a beach.
Really? First you come barging into my life,
and now you want to go to a beach?
Oh, God.
Heroine, come on. You better dress up today.
You have a meeting today.
It's your daughter. The office called. She wants to meet you.
Come on.
I have a request.
Yes, sir.
I want all information about the Chandra case
to come to me first.
Sure, sir.
But this is my job, so why the request?
This needs to remain only between us.
Sir, you know...
When it comes to duty, Harsh and I are professionals.
I know.
That's why, even after your marriage,
I never raised the question of a transfer for either of you.
But I feel Pradhan...
is a little too invested this time.
Where is Prajakta Joshi?
She has gone to Satara for a family function.
And, Inspector, next time, knock before you enter.
That's okay?
What business do you have with Prajakta?
I want to take Rhea Chandra's statement,
and Prajaktaji is letting Rhea meet her mother.
Prajakta knows her work very well.
The child wants to meet her mother.
Please allow us to follow the rules, Inspector.
Madam, it's best if you don't talk about the rules.
What do you mean?
Last year, your son was caught with drugs, right?
Then your husband called the Home Minister to get him out.
Rules?
-Don't bring personal matters into-- -Personal?
Madam, weren't you just talking about rules?
But don't worry.
I understand that sometimes rules have to be bent.
There's a difference between meeting your mother and meeting the police.
And Rhea's suffering from PTSD, ma'am.
But he has a point, Prajakta.
If she's not ready, she should not meet anyone.
Our rules should be equal for everyone, right?
Okay.
Now I owe you a favour.
Thank you.
No, no, I won't fight.
But please don't cancel the Eid plans.
Yes, Madhavji, tell me?
Anuji is meeting Rhea today.
Yes, we also have to go to court today for the bail plea.
Will she talk?
Yes, now that we are helping her meet Rhea, she should speak.
I'll figure all that out--
Mummy, please!
I'm discussing something important.
Yes, Madhavji, have you got an appointment?
Yes, at noon.
When the two of you come, I'll stay in Nikhat's room.
Okay, Madhavji. See you soon.
Look, Eid is the only time you stay with us.
Please come. Nikhat will also like that.
Yes. Goodbye.
How are you?
You must be very happy today.
Your daughter is coming to meet you.
I barged into Vijji Chandra's house and gave your message to Rhea.
Thank you.
Today we're going to make another bail plea.
So, we'll need to ask you some personal questions.
I'm asking you again.
Did you know that you're pregnant?
Anuji, say something.
When did you find out?
That very day.
The day Bikram was...
Anu, it's okay.
Anu, did Bikram know?
So, were you hiding this from Bikram?
Why were you hiding it?
Anu, why were you hiding such an important thing from your husband?
And someone you love, right?
Look, Anu, as he said, we'll apply for another bail plea today.
We really need something from you. We can't afford to lose this again.
Were you afraid of Bikram?
Huh?
The medicines...
You mean anti-depressants?
I couldn't...
take those as it would affect the child, so I stopped taking them.
But why wouldn't Bikram Chandra understand this?
Bikram was very worried about me.
He wouldn't have wanted me to stop the medication. He was...
He was very particular.
But why?
Please help me understand that, if you had told Bikram
that you were pregnant, why wouldn't he agree
to stop the medication?
I won't stop you,
but don't forget what Mummy has done.
-You're doing it wrong, Grandma. -Okay, I'll do it again, wait.
Go and see your mother, but first the police will come here
to record your statement.
They want to help your father.
-They want to help your-- -Grandma, I'll do it.
Please tell her yourself.
Talk to her.
Rhea?
The police are coming to record your statement,
and I'll take time to get to Mumbai.
But nobody can pressurise you, okay?
If you don't feel like talking, it's completely okay.
Dear, give them the statement.
Then you can go and meet her.
Okay.
Madhavji, I think Bikram used to control her,
and she was very scared of Bikram.
Control?
Yes. You tell me.
Just for the sake of some medication,
why would someone not tell their husband about their pregnancy?
No, but she said she was sick, and he must have been taking care of her.
There is a fine line between care and control, Madhavji.
Fine, let's assume I agree, but where is the evidence?
She herself said she was sick.
Whatever it is, this case will have to be built very carefully.
It's not easy.
One moment.
Yes, Namdev. Please come. Tell me.
Yes, but how did CWC give the permission?
-Hello? -What happened?
The police are coming to take Rhea's statement now.
But she has a meeting with Anu now.
All these bastards are going to gang up and preach their sermons to her.
Do this. Why don't you leave? I'll come later.
What are you going to do?
I'll find a sermon to preach too. I'll see you in court.
Genies don't exist.
Saniaji, look.
I got it fixed.
Wow, you've smartened up.
Mishraji must be very happy. Is he home today?
No, he's at work. But please come in. Come on in.
Don't you have his number?
I don't keep a phone.
I have no shortage of lovers.
They keep pestering me.
Who doesn't have a phone these days?
How do you spend your time then?
It's such a big city.
I just head out to roam around and pass my time.
I've also heard that Mumbai is huge.
Hasn't Mishraji taken you out?
-How are you, Bharat Singh? -Come in.
Didi.
-What news? -He's stable.
Not conscious yet.
They're waiting for him to regain consciousness,
but he'll pull through. He's a fighter.
Thank you, Mandira. You've left all your work behind.
Running between here and the hospital, I mean, I really--
What thank you, Vijji di.
The police aren't here yet?
They should be here any minute, I mean...
-Come. -Bharat Singh, will you get some water?
-What are you doing here? -Raghu sir sent me.
What an asshole! Getting my wife to keep tabs on me.
Hello, ma'am. Hello.
Inspector Pradhan, well done with the CWC.
Thank you, ma'am.
Come, let me show you to Rhea's room. Come.
This is your preliminary statement.
We will ask you some questions,
and the answers will be written in first person.
If you don't want to answer, it's absolutely all right.
Rhea dear, firstly...
you don't need to be afraid of anyone.
Even if it's a member of your family.
The police are with you.
Speak freely. Speak the truth.
Like how you entered your parents' room
and saw your mother stab your father.
Harsh!
I mean, whatever you saw, tell us truthfully.
This pregnancy will weigh heavily on this case.
The defence is going to use it.
And Anu knows how to play the victim card very well.
Mandira, I honestly fear
that when Bikram finds out he is going to have a child,
he just might take her back.
-She stabbed him. -Yeah, but...
he's so hopelessly in love with her.
I feel he'll make some mental issue out of it and forgive her.
Hello, ma'am.
What are you doing here?
Ma'am, I heard that the child is giving her statement today.
I also had a few questions, actually, to ask her.
Mr. Nigam, do you realise what you've done?
If anyone finds out you've come here, we'll be in serious trouble.
Ma'am, but you're also here.
Please come. Come here.
Yes, Doctor?
Mr. Nigam, the Mathurs and the Chandras go back a long way.
We are like family.
You're a public prosecutor.
There's a huge difference between you being here and me being here.
I need you to leave right now.
Ma'am, I just need to ask a few questions. That's it.
Please leave. Please.
Ma'am, there's no need to worry. This is our case.
I'll win it and show you.
And, anyway, not everyone gets such an opportunity
to avenge Bikram Chandra, ma'am.
Your overconfidence will ruin us.
I'm so happy to hear that. Thank you.
Yes, I'm coming right now.
I'll leave right away.
You must have heard the saying,
"The man who is not used to winning
"starts celebrating before the win."
You really don't want people to think like that about you, do you?
-Mandira? -Yes.
Bikram is conscious. The doctor just called.
That's wonderful! We should leave. Just a minute.
Rhea, the hospital called. Your father is regaining consciousness. Come.
-Harsh? -Yes.
What was the need to manipulate Rhea?
Manipulate?
Didn't you just provoke her?
That's not called provoking, madam.
And why do you have so much sympathy for her?
She's a woman, that's why?
You can say anything you want about me, but don't ever question my duty.
Yes, yes, Gauri madam. My sweet wife.
I know you're a police officer first and then a woman.
Shall we go?
How old is she?
Twelve.
You've such great hair. It's done.
Shall I go?
One second, one second... Yes.
-Can I do this? -Yes, yes.
-Thank you. -Gorgeous!
Thank you.
Saniaji... How do I say this?
The thing... the work that you do...
It's just a job.
In Mumbai, man or woman, young or old, everyone does a job.
Yes.
A person's worth is measured by their occupation here,
and it all gets spent in no time.
Okay.
By the way, what do you like to do?
You mean other than household work?
This... what I'm getting done right now.
You know, back at the village,
I would do make-up for all my friends' weddings.
I know it all!
Well, you're glowing today.
Really?
Watch how your lawyer jumps on your case today.
Your daughter isn't coming.
Your husband kicked the bucket.
Your husband kicked the bucket!
Sir, we are trying to get Anu bail
citing her health reasons and pregnancy.
Do you think she will get it?
Nikhatji, Bikram Chandra just passed away at the hospital.
Oh, God!
What's going to happen now?
It's a murder case now.
Well...
Your Honour, sadly but...
since Bikram Chandra is now dead,
we request the court
that the charges put on Anuradha Chandra
should now be considered under IPC section 300 for murder.
Your Honour, the defence requests bail for Anuradha Chandra.
On what grounds?
My client is suffering from a mental illness.
She needs proper medical care and supervision.
Is your client not getting regular medical check-ups in jail?
Your Honour, she is.
Well then, no grounds for bail.
Your Honour, we have reasons to believe
that my client Anuradha Chandra is a victim of abuse.
Abuse?
Yes, Your Honour.
At this moment, she's very scared.
Ms. Hussain, do you have any testimony or evidence?
Your Honour, my client's mental state is extremely weak.
And she's pregnant as well.
We need more time with our client.
Don't get swayed by your emotions.
Please keep your personal feelings out of this court.
Bail is denied.
Taking the defendant's pregnancy into consideration,
the next hearing will be after her delivery.
In the meanwhile, the court hopes that the police will prepare their charge sheet.
Yes, Your Honour.
Your Honour, Rhea Chandra's statement was recorded by the police
at her custodian Vijji Chandra's house.
Rhea, in this stabbing case...
Murder, murder case.
Yes, Rhea is this case's sole witness.
And you will be shocked to know that,
while the statement was being recorded, no CWC member was present.
Instead who was present?
The prosecutor, my friend Mr. Nigam,
and the renowned lawyer Mathur madam.
I have a few pictures. I...
Please have a look.
Mr. Nigam.
Were you at Vijji Chandra's house while the statement was being recorded?
I'm asking you
because, in the photos in my hand,
I can see you very clearly.
-Yes, Your Honour. -That's very professional of you.
Your Honour, the second picture
was also taken outside Vijji Chandra's house
in which both the prosecutor
and the investigating officer can be seen clearly.
And these pictures prove that everyone was present when the statement was being recorded,
and this wasn't a coincidence. This was a well thought-out plan
so that they could influence the child.
That is why we request you, Your Honour,
to take back the child's custody from Vijji Chandra.
Your Honour, Rhea is very happy with her grandmother.
She has everything she needs there!
Your Honour, the defence requests for a fair trial.
And the child's custody should go to a close friend of the Chandra family.
Dr. Moksh's family.
Their daughter, Riddhi, is Rhea's classmate
and a good friend.
So, I think Rhea can remain normal there.
The court accepts Rhea Chandra's statement
but also recommends
that her custody be handed over to Dr. Moksh.
But, in this matter, the court would like to see a report from CWC first.
Also, I suggest that the public prosecutor
steps down from this case.
That's all. Thank you.
After Bikram Chandra's death, the allegations have become stronger.
-Stay tuned... -Ma'am?
I'm sorry. If you file an appeal, they might consider me again.
Please.
It was my fault. I chose you.
Hello?
-Ma'am? -Mr. Prabhu?
Hello, this is Mandira Mathur speaking.
What?
Didn't you notice something?
Did a notice come from the court?
Doesn't something seem different?
Did you clean the house again? I had kept my papers here.
I went to a parlour with Sania.
She must've taught you to elbow, right?
Stay away from her. You don't know her.
Her tricks.
Go, I'm exhausted.
The door will break. It's wooden...
You killed your husband?
No one here will understand.
There's no one as low-down,
loathsome and contemptible as you here.
Steal, rob or even murder anyone, we'll let you go.
But killing your fucking husband,
we'll rip you to pieces and feed you to the dogs!
-Let me go! -If you touch her again,
I'll cut you into pieces and throw you into the trash, understand?
Fucking bitch! Is she your lover?
Weird, isn't it?
Most of the women you find here
were treated worse than animals by their husbands.
But they still consider a husband's murder to be the biggest sin.
If you cry over every little thing, this world will drown you.
I was just like you when society branded me a murderer.
They don't know our story or ask for our reasons.
Who are they to decide our fate? I don't know.
But you have to live.
For yourself and your baby.
Because, in the end, no matter what,
you have to survive.
You better survive.
You can do it.
Cry if you want.
But know one thing. You don't have to be afraid of him anymore.
