Original subtitles

Okay, let's get to one more flashback.

Did Dr. Raj Nagpal give you that money?

I do hate this man.

- Where did you get the money from? - Anju didi gave it to me!

- (Madhav) Anju didi gave it to you? - (Anju) I did not murder Roshni.

Nor did I throw that scalpel in my trash.

Raj could have thrown it there?

Don't pretend, Anju. I know what you are up to.

(glass shatters)

- How much did your surgery cost? - Rs. 22 lakh.

The Nagpals are a family with so much privilege

that all their problems can be solved with just one solution.

Money.

I simply gave her a choice.

The Nagpals should be punished for not one but two murders.

That of Roshni Saluja and her unborn child.

- Hey! - (pitcher shatters)

(Madhav) This game is complicated, Deep.

Let's hope the trump itself doesn't change.

(tense music)

(Madhav sighs)

How long has it been since you and Raj-ji got married?

18 years.

And how would you describe these 18 years of married life?

Like...

an average Bollywood film.

The first half was great.

But the second half was...

beyond unbearable.

So, you didn't stick around for the second half?

No, I left mid-way.

You left and headed straight towards the opposite flat,

which is also owned by Raj Nagpal, right?

I sacrificed my entire career for our daughter.

An apartment is hardly a price to pay in comparison.

And do you think lifetime imprisonment

is the right price to pay?

(tense music)

- Never mind. - (music stops)

What did you think of Roshni?

I had no issues with Roshni.

It's quite surprising that you had no issues with Roshni!

Roshni was your daughter's caregiver

who was also having an affair with your husband

and becoming more of a mother to Ira than you were.

Roshni was being paid to do her job.

- She wasn't Ira's mother. - (tense music resumes)

But she would have been a mother soon.

Once Raj and your divorce was final, Roshni would have

definitely made an attempt to conceive. Again.

Ira's future would have been secure in any case.

What would have happened to you?

Did the fear of this future make you remember

the value of your role as Ira's mother?

What do you mean "remember"?

I hadn't forgotten anything. Ira was sick.

And you were trying to take advantage

of that very sickness to get closer to Raj-ji.

Brother-in-law, how can you make such random claims?

Lekha-ji managed to elicit a confession

from the mother-in-law based on concrete evidence.

You're just making bizarre accusations

against the daughter-in-law with no proof.

You were familiar with Raj-ji and Gurmeet-ji's routines.

You took advantage of their absence that morning and landed up

- to threaten Roshni. - I did no such thing.

You began threatening Roshni,

- but she held her ground. - Absolutely not.

There was a heated exchange

between the two of you, and a scuffle broke out.

Not at all.

- And the medical award fell then. - (glass shatters)

Sir, this is all speculation.

Mom will definitely object to this.

Then you picked up the scalpel

- and slit Roshni's throat. - (swishes)

No.

Then, thinking you could shift the blame to Raj,

you went back into your flat,

bathed, washed off the blood and your sins,

and began to wait.

(Anju laughing)

Is that all you've got?

Madhav-ji, your ship is sinking.

You thought Kamala would come by, and you would get an alibi!

Brother-in-law, Raj-ji needs a lawyer, not a poet.

Oh, come on! Do you all have no clue how to remain silent?

I'm trying to practise my cross-examination,

and you guys keep interrupting with your running commentary.

Brother-in-law, I'm sorry to say,

but if this is going to be our cross-questioning in court,

Mandira-ji and Lekha-ji are going to have a field day with us.

Both our case and our careers will completely sink.

Oh, you really think your career needs that much for it to sink?

All it will take is a drop of water.

And, Ratna-ji, didn't my questions scare you into wanting to confess?

I actually thought you looked very cute when angry.

What?

Brother-in-law, you can't always win your case by extracting confessions.

She's a very stubborn woman.

- Who? Ratna? - Hey!

- I'm talking about Anju. - Oh, okay.

We can't lose this case.

(tense music)

(Shivani sighs)

(title music)

(news playing on tablet)

Ira, I'm going to the Gurudwara and will be back in half an hour.

You'll be fine on your own, right?

If you need anything, just give me a call, okay?

(news continues)

In the case of the State vs the Nagpals,

the defence is set to present their arguments today.

The hearing will begin at 2:30 p.m. in the Sessions Court,

and we will bring to you live updates.

Deep, why aren't you ready yet?

No. You carry on.

I figured I'd stay here and prepare for Anju Nagpal's cross-examination.

Shivani is there to assist you.

Is everything fine?

Yes, I'm fine. Just had a bit of an itch.

Don't even talk to me about itches!

It's fine now.

You know, Deep, words of wisdom from you

sound like the rambles of a drunk. (laughs)

I can see that insulting me has graduated

from being your hobby to your latest passion.

You even do it in front of Lekha-ji!

I'm definitely passionate.

- You go. I'll handle everything. - Sir...

- Just wait! - (screams) Just a minute.

It's to ward off the evil eye.

Go downstairs and grab a taxi.

I'll be there as soon as I'm done with this family drama.

You hold on to the taxi. I'll be there in a moment.

Yes, sir.

Do not be surprised by Deep's wisdom.

He is my brother after all.

And for your peace of mind, I will stay back here with him.

Of course, even genetically,

you both will always be the same, brother and sister, after all.

- (Ratna and Deep) That's right. - Shall I take your leave?

Ward off the evil eye from him as well. (chuckles)

(religious chanting)

(soft music)

(religious chanting continues)

(judge) Defence counsel no. 1.

Your Honour, I would like to call upon

my first witness, Dr. Arsh Mistry.

(judge) Permission granted.

Dr. Mistry, you and Dr. Raj Nagpal were batchmates.

In 2002, you graduated from the same medical college, correct?

Yes.

As a close friend of the Nagpals,

can you tell the court a little bit about their relationship?

They both started dating in college.

Right after graduation, they decided to get married.

Then, when Ira was three years old,

I was the one who diagnosed her Asperger's syndrome.

Can you tell us about this condition?

Asperger's is a developmental disorder

that falls on the autism spectrum.

Ira struggles with social interactions

and finds it difficult to express herself verbally.

(yelling)

But she knows how to express herself through art and music.

I think... Ira is a wonderfully gifted child.

Yes. Well, tell me something.

A few days before Roshni Saluja's murder,

was Ira suffering from something new?

Ira was suffering from hypoglycaemia for a while.

Her blood sugar was dropping

below the normal range, causing some complications.

When did this begin?

Around the beginning of August last year.

(Madhav) And was this diagnosed?

No, at that time, we actually tested her for pancreatic cancer.

- For cancer? - Yes.

But, luckily, those reports came back clean.

And when did these reports come in?

On Ira's birthday.

The reports came in on her birthday?

Yes, that very morning.

So, can we conclude that Roshni had been worried for a while

that Ira might have a serious, perhaps fatal, illness?

Potentially cancer?

Yes, Roshni and Raj were both anxiously waiting for the reports.

And how did Roshni react once she received the reports?

She was quite relieved.

So, we can conclude that Roshni was quite concerned about Ira, right?

Very.

Even the smallest issue with Ira's health

would instantly result in a call from Roshni.

Through the course of Ira's illness,

did Anju-ji ever reach out to you?

(tense music)

(clears throat uncomfortably) Er... no.

(Madhav) That's all, Your Honour.

Thank you.

(Ratna) Deepu, when Mishra-ji scolds you,

it doesn't upset you, does it?

I'm very proud of you, and so is your brother-in-law.

Let it be, didi. As if I really matter to him.

Are you crazy?

You are a part of the family,

so he feels he has the right to pull you up.

At first, I tried really hard to impress him.

But now my only goal is to become a good lawyer,

no matter whether it earns me his love or his ire.

Oh, no!

Did I impress you?

No, I'm depressed.

(comical music)

How did this evidence box end up in your kitchen cabinet?

There was no space in the cabin,

so I put it there myself.

But listen, Deepu, please don't tell Mishra-ji about this.

Otherwise, he'll get really mad at me.

Ordinarily, I love to squeal on people.

Please!

But since you're my sister, maybe I'll let this one slide.

Phew. Now open it quickly and let's see what's in there.

Defence counsel, please call your next witness.

Your Honour, there's no need to call him.

He is already on the stand.

Dr. Raj.

(judge) Well, then, proceed.

(indistinct chatter)

- Shit! - There is nothing in here.

(intense music)

(upbeat music)

Hey!

Daily General Store!

Anju and I never imagined our married life

would turn out like this.

At first...

everything was going well. We were happy.

Then Ira was born,

and our joys doubled.

But then we learnt about Ira's Asperger's.

And everything changed.

We... both changed.

Anju decided to stay home full-time to care for Ira.

Because Ira's treatment was so expensive

and I had become the sole breadwinner,

I completely immersed myself in work.

And that's what our lives became about.

We drifted apart without even realising.

Then Roshni came into our lives

and seamlessly fit into our family.

She showered Ira with love

but also reminded me of a part of my life that I had forgotten.

I-I'm sorry.

I lost the love of my life. I-I'm really sorry.

If you really loved Roshni that much...

(cell phone vibrates)

...why did you ask her to terminate the pregnancy?

I never asked Roshni

- to get an abortion. - Okay.

When she told me about the pregnancy,

(inhales sharply ) I wasn't ready. I hadn't even divorced my wife.

I just wasn't prepared.

Two weeks after that, she informed me

that she had gone through with the abortion. I was shocked.

But at the same time, I was relieved.

I had no idea that my mother was involved in this.

(intense music)

Your Honour... (clears throat)

Exhibit 7.

(melancholic music)

Despite you and Anju being separated,

when and how did this happen?

This was the day...

when I told Anju that Ira might have cancer.

It was an incredibly emotional moment for both of us.

We... We couldn't hold back our feelings.

We kissed. It was a weak moment.

And how did this "weak moment" affect your lives?

Nothing changed, but maybe Anju began to feel...

that she could come back into my life.

Her visits to our home became more frequent.

So, Doctor, tell us what really happened that night at the party.

When you took Roshni into the room,

what did you say to her? What transpired inside the room?

(door unlocks)

Roshni, what's happened to you? Why are you behaving like this?

Oh, so now you have a problem with my behaviour

because I'm not as sophisticated as Anju?

How did Anju come into this?

Raj, I am not blind. I know what's going on.

What's going on?

Raj, if you don't want to be with me, just say so.

Don't make a fool out of me in front of your friends.

Roshni, calm down.

It's clear to me now what the difference

between being a wife and being the other woman is.

Listen to me...

You want to go back to her, don't you?

She had realised that something wasn't right.

I want no such thing.

I love you. Trust me.

(sniffs)

(stutters) I just made a... mistake.

Anju and I were in the car, and Anju tried to kiss me.

And I accidentally kissed her back.

But... it was just a one-time thing.

It was a mistake. Trust me.

I'm going to tell Anju that it's all over now.

(door unlocks)

(Raj) She was upset and stormed out, and I didn't stop her.

If I had, perhaps she would be alive today.

And this regret...

haunts me every single day.

Anju-ji came into the room afterwards, didn't she?

What was that conversation about? What did you say?

(intense music)

I clearly told Anju that nothing more could transpire between us.

And that I would be moving out

of this apartment soon with Roshni and Ira.

I told her it's over, completely.

That's all, Your Honour. Thank you.

Prosecution?

(Lekha sighs)

Dr. Raj Nagpal, apart from being a surgeon

at Silver Valley Hospital, are you a writer as well?

What an amazing story you have scripted!

It must have taken quite a while to prepare, no?

Everything I've said is the truth.

Perhaps, but this truth is one-sided.

Because, unfortunately, the only person

who could have verified it is no more.

According to witness statements, on the night

of Ira's birthday party, when Roshni Saluja

got drunk and started dancing,

you dragged her towards the bedroom. Is that right?

Yes.

Were you angry at the time, Dr. Nagpal?

(intense music)

- I can't hear you. - Yes.

That means you spent the night stewing over

why Roshni did what she did

and embarrassed you in this manner in front of all your friends,

leaving you feeling humiliated and angry.

The next morning, when Roshni Saluja came

to give your daughter Ira her medicine as per routine,

you fought with her and then slit her throat.

I've already stated that when I came back home, the door was open.

Someone else killed Roshni.

Someone else killed her?

(claps)

You mean that someone else must have come there at that exact time?

So, you are a surgeon, writer and now a magician too?

What's going on?

So, someone else came in and slit Roshni's throat

with the very instrument that only a doctor or surgeon uses?

(intense music)

According to Kamala, you were the only one present there, Dr. Nagpal.

Because I was trying to save her.

And despite being a top surgeon, you couldn't save her?

Objection, Your Honour.

Lekha-ji is harassing my client and taunting him.

Lekha-ji, please move on.

(Madhav mutters) "Couldn't save her?"

Why didn't you tell the police about

the argument between Roshni and you?

Because I knew the police...

would twist my statement and use it against me.

So, I decided to wait for my day in court.

And that's a very wise thing you did

because now you can twist your story

and conveniently peddle it to us.

Your mother took the fall for the abortion.

Your wife, of course, has helped you commit the murder.

And you are cooking up the rest of the story.

(shouts) Ira Nagpal has such great role models in the family!

- Objection, Your Honour. - (judge) Lekha-ji, please!

(sighs)

No more questions, Your Honour.

(judge) Mandira-ji?

Daily General Store falls on the route

to Roshni's home. What's the big deal?

(exhales)

Deepu, I might not be the best driver,

but once I've been down a road,

I won't forget it till my last breath. Look!

Dr. Nagpal, you previously told the court

that Roshni Saluja was the "love of your life."

Can you explain to the court that,

despite being with the "love of your life,"

what compelled you to be intimate with someone else?

I've already explained what happened that day.

Yes. The cancer, the "weak moment," yes.

Dr. Nagpal, how long before your "weak moment" with Anju

did Roshni's abortion take place?

One month.

One month, Your Honour.

So, merely one month after Roshni's abortion,

you gave in to a "weak moment" with your separated wife

in your own building's parking lot?

Objection, Your Honour. This question has been answered.

Sustained. Mandira-ji, please move on.

So, Roshni Saluja was a nurse at your hospital, whom you brought

into your home as a professional caregiver for your child.

And then, maybe in a "weak moment,"

you began to have an affair with her.

And finally, on the night of your daughter's birthday,

your nurse, caregiver, lover,

sweetheart, future wife, whatever she was,

realised you weren't as committed

to her as she had expected.

The point here, Your Honour, is if Dr. Nagpal is coming across

as a victim during this case's proceedings,

it's only because he's the victim of his own weak moments.

That's all. Thank you.

(cell phone vibrating)

(murmurs)

(judge) Defence counsel,] please call your next witness.

Yes, Deep, hurry up and tell me what happened.

We found a major piece of evidence. Where is brother-in-law?

He's inside, in the hearing. Just tell me what happened quickly.

Roshni's last-known location was in Juhu.

Yes, we know that. So?

I mean, we saw... Didi...

- (Deep) Careful! - (car honks, brakes screech)

Sorry.

- (sighs) Did you survive? - Yes.

Then, tell me.

Roshni's last transaction was at Daily General Store in Juhu.

Yes, Deep. So?

I might not be the best driver, but once I've been down a road--

You never forget it, didi.

- Yes. - I know. You are the best.

- Now, can you just focus on driving? - Okay.

You both continue. It's just a hearing, not a big deal.

Shivani-ji, venture a guess.

Which bar is right in front of Daily General Store?

(upbeat music)

Are you serious?

(Deep and Ratna) Yes!

Qayamat Bar. The one we followed Digvijay to.

I'll go tell Madhav sir right away. Oh, shit!

(Ratna) Why are you saying "shit"?

This is actually a hit, silly.

Digvijay is already on the witness stand. Come quickly.

(brakes squeal)

- Sir? - Hmm?

(softly) Sir...

Roshni probably met Digvijay after the party.

Ratna and Deep are on their way with evidence,

so you need to stall for a bit.

- Mishra-ji. - Yes, sir.

We don't have all day. Let's begin.

Let it be. We don't have much time. Come on.

(clears throat)

Thank you, Your Honour.

Digvijay-ji...

Please state your full name and complete address for the court.

Madhav-ji, what will we do with his name and address?

Your Honour, as soon as we know his address,

the court will also know how to address our discoveries.

(crowd laughs)

Sorry.

I'm Digvijay Singh. Address is Kandivali East.

Oh, you live in the East?

(tense music)

(honks)

Who are the members in your family?

Nobody? (loudly) Who are the members in your family?

Do you have trouble hearing?

(honks)

Can you tell us what you and Roshni talked about

during your first meeting? In detail, please!

Objection, Your Honour.

Your Honour, detailing this romantic story here

would be a waste of the court's valuable time.

Mandira-ji, have some patience.

Arguments are ongoing anyway.

Let's make some time to hear the love story too.

(audience laughs)

(judge) Please continue.

(intense music)

You are driving really well, didi!

I watched her change from up close.

She used to be different when she worked at the hospital.

Later, when she started working for Nagpal-ji, she seemed a bit off.

Did you just sense it, or did you actually see her change?

Your Honour, I can see clearly that the defence

is wasting the court's time.

They have no evidence.

I request the court to please move on from this.

(judge) Madhav-ji...

Your Honour, one last question.

We know more about the victim's ex-lover than the victim herself.

Could you please come to the point!

Yes, Your Honour.

(fast-paced music)

Your Honour, just excuse me for a tiny moment...

Yes, what is it?

(indistinct chatter)

Roshni was likely at Qayamat Bar after the party that night.

This won't help us prove that.

Mishra-ji, the court is waiting.

Your Honour, some new evidence has come to light.

So, the defence would like to request some time to prepare.

You brought the witness to the stand.

You will not be granted any more time. Please continue today itself.

Okay, Your Honour.

Digvijay-ji, tell me something.

On the night of 11th September, did Roshni come to meet you

at Qayamat Bar after the party?

Is it true?

Objection, Your Honour.

On the basis of what evidence

is Madhav-ji asking this line of questions?

Your Honour, this is based on evidence

from the prosecution's own records.

Exhibit 28.

According to this, Roshni's last known location

was Daily General Store.

And, Your Honour, right across from this store

lies his favourite watering hole, Qayamat Bar.

(tense music)

The defence can proceed with this line of questioning.

(Madhav) Thank you, Your Honour.

So, on the night of 11th September, after the party,

Roshni came to meet you at Qayamat Bar.

Why did you hide this information from the court?

Your Honour, I'm confident

that if the police had conducted a proper investigation,

it would have been established

that Roshni had gone to meet him at the bar that night.

She did come to meet you, didn't she?

Come on, speak up.

Yes, she came to meet me that night.

(indistinct chatter)

(suspenseful music)

So, are you responsible for the murder of Roshni Saluja?

Me? What?

- Roshni-- - I killed her?

I loved her. Do you get that?

I never laid a hand on her!

Forget that, I've never even raised my voice.

Then why did you hide the fact that you met her that night?

So what else was I supposed to do?

I'm a poor man.

And the cops always stick it to us to get the rich off the hook.

- Mind your language, Digvijay-ji! - Sorry, Your Honour.

Digvijay-ji, save this language for Qayamat Bar.

Please speak respectfully.

Why did Roshni come to meet you?

Roshni was a simple girl.

But she got caught in this doctor's manipulation.

I'm well aware of how the wealthy play their games.

You used money to seduce my Roshni, right?

- He made her his whore! - Language!

Mishra-ji, one more abusive word from your witness

and he'll be charged with contempt of court.

Sorry, Your Honour.

Hey, man, why are you behaving like this? Please speak respectfully.

Why did Roshni come to meet you?

She wanted to talk to me.

She needed one of her own.

(inaudible)

(melancholic music)

She was upset, looked defeated... because of him!

She went to talk to him about his wife and when he would leave her.

Did she do something wrong?

And he didn't even listen to her. He just yelled at her.

You yelled, didn't you?

(door unlocks)

(Roshni pants)

Are you out of your mind?

Why are you behaving like this?

So, now you have a problem with my behaviour?

Because I'm not as sophisticated as your Anju?

What does Anju have to do with this?

Raj, I am not blind.

I can see what's going on.

Okay. You can see what's going on.

Tell me. Tell me what's going on!

What is Anju doing at the party?

And why is she clinging to you in front of everyone at the party?

Pretending to give a damn about her daughter.

Giving her expensive gifts.

She is trying to get Ira on her side.

And you, too.

Why is she suddenly trying to re-insert herself into the family?

Because she is Ira's mother, damn it!

The same mother who walked away, leaving her daughter behind?

Suddenly, her motherly instincts have awakened.

Don't give me this shit, Raj.

Just shut up, okay.

(chuckles) Of course.

Of course, how could I say anything about Anju?

Why don't you do a thing?

Go back to her.

She'll take you back.

That's what you're worth.

In any case, none of the women in your family

have a shred of self-respect.

How will a mother who cannot take care of her sick child

be able to hold a family together?

Just shut up!

You don't know anything.

Don't you dare say a word about my wife.

"Wife"?

(cries)

I was so fucking stupid!

You never intended to file for a divorce, did you?

You were just using me, right?

You wanted both a wife and a girlfriend.

You are a fucking weak, spineless man, Raj!

I cannot believe I aborted our child to be with you.

(door shuts)

That's a lie. This man is lying!

You're the liar! You ruined Roshni's life with your money!

- He is just spewing nonsense! - Bloody bastard!

He has killed Roshni! Take him away!

You'll rot in jail for the rest of your life!

(strikes gravel) Order! Order!

The court sentences Digvijay Singh to two days

of detention for contempt of court.

- (judge strikes gravel) - Hey, come on, let's go!

(Mandira chuckles) Extraordinary.

I've seen people dig their own graves,

but here they are queuing up to jump into the grave by themselves.

Didn't you see that? What an idiot!

- (cell phone ringing) - Answer this.

Ma'am, will you bring me to the stand tomorrow?

Don't worry about tomorrow.

In any case, the great Madhav Mishra

has practically handed us our victory

on a silver platter. Didn't you notice that?

Ira!

- Mom! - Ira!

- Mom! - You...

What are you doing here, dear?

(melancholic music)

- Where is your grandmother? - I came by myself.

What? But why?

I wanted to meet you... and Dad.

Can you please call up my mother-in-law?

- I'll do that. - Thank you.

Sweetheart, what were you thinking?

I miss you... and Dad.

I miss you too...

very, very much.

(Anju sobs)

(Anju) Okay.

You have to go now.

Ira.

Do you remember our secret?

(upbeat music)

That's right, my girl.

Today's hearing seemed like it was close enough to touch

but impossible to taste.

Ratna, are you still fixated on that?

(tsks) Of course. Deepu and I had thought

that we would change the entire course

of the trial in our favour today.

It was a good attempt, Mrs. Mishra.

Thank you.

Both Deepu and I put in the effort.

What's the plan now? What will you do next?

I have the entire night to think.

You've worked really hard today, so go to bed.

Take some rest.

Just say you need your personal space.

Okay, drink the milk.

- Okay. - Good night.

(intense music)

(Anju) My husband has been taken in by the police for questioning.

He will be arrested soon.

(Kamala) I saw the golden instrument next to Roshni didi.

(Raj) That's a lie. This man is lying!

(Digvijay) You're the liar! You ruined my Roshni's life with your money!

- (Raj) He is just spewing nonsense! - (Digvijay) Bloody bastard!

He has killed Roshni! Take him away!

You'll rot in jail for the rest of your life!

(gate screeches)

(intense music)

(water splashes)

(soft music)

(toilet flushes)

Though I hate to say it,

you've really impressed me, Deep.

Brother-in-law, please forgive me for the Digvijay mess-up.

Of course.

I thought it would...

It wasn't your fault. It was a lapse in the police investigation.

Linking Digvijay to Roshni was a good idea.

But mistakes happen sometimes.

Come.

Today I feel like patting your back.

(pats)

Come, have a seat.

Every witness is a chapter

in the story we present to the judge.

For the judge to understand the story correctly,

it's essential that the chain of events is accurate.

If not, the judge will not be able to tell

where the story begins and where it ends.

We're at the final round of this trial.

The final chapter... Anju Nagpal.

And, Deep, the real villain still remains to be revealed.

Mandira-ji will go all in today.

She'll build a palace of cards.

But if we pull out the right card, it will all come crashing down.

I've got some strategies lined up for the cross-examination too.

Great! Go ahead.

- Let it be. - Hey, come on. Tell me.

- Let it be. - What is it, Deep?

Let it be.

You refuse to open your mouth without a few profanities.

Now spill, quickly.

The day the murder weapon was found, Anju-ji bribed Kamala

and Kamala changed her testimony.

If this isn't a crime, what is it?

So, we should begin our cross-examination with this point.

That's all well and good, Deep.

But based on this guilt,

we can prove conspiracy at best.

In both her testimonies,

Kamala maintained that Anju-ji came in after Raj.

This angle is flawed. We need to look elsewhere.

This path is full of potholes and ultimately reaches a dead end.

Go inside and change.

(Shivani) When Kamala screamed, Anju came out

with wet hair, which meant she had just bathed.

Did you bathe today?

Yes, of course, sir.

So, what's the big deal? Everyone does.

Did Anju and Raj kick Roshni out of the party?

- So what? - So...

So, when Raj checked his phone in the morning, he said

that he hadn't received any messages from Roshni.

And Raj-ji thought Roshni wouldn't show up in the morning.

Then it goes to say that Anju, too,

might have assumed that Roshni wouldn't show up

and therefore wouldn't be able

to give Ira her medication that morning?

And with Ira's added sickness, she would already have been worried.

So, Anju might have gone there to give the medication to Ira herself.

And ended up running into Roshni there.

And that's how we can establish in court that Anju arrived before Raj.

This is the ace...

that could bring down Mandira-ji's palace of cards

if we can just successfully prove it.

(retches)

What happened?

Did I say something wrong?

- (retches) - (Ratna gasps)

I've really messed up.

What's happening? Can someone please explain to me as well?

I accidentally picked up her cup, and she ended up drinking my coffee.

So what?

She is lactose intolerant.

Is it some ongoing trend nowadays? It's happening to everyone.

Maybe keep up with what's happening in the outside world sometimes.

Lactose intolerance is a very common issue.

Many of my clients have it as well.

And Ira has it too.

- Sorry, who? - Ira.

- She is lactose intolerant. - Look.

(Madhav) Do you serve medicines along with tea?

Sorry, that...

(Anju) Ira is not well, so...

Anything serious?

No.

Ira lives with Raj, and Roshni comes over

to give her the medicine, and this milk...

- What is it? - Lactose...

Yes.

In the gleam of the golden scalpel,

this innocent-looking milk carton

was overlooked.

Quite a line! I'll use it in court.

What's the connection between the milk carton and the scalpel?

It's an unnatural connection.

Do you have a bigger picture of this?

- What is this little bottle here? - This is it.

What can be in it?

(suspenseful music)

Why are you building so much suspense? Just tell us.

- Ira was ill. - (Ratna) Yes.

If we figure out what was in this bottle or supposed to be,

we will find both the killer and their motive.

This information is crucial for today's hearing.

What did I miss?

(build-up music)

The missing link.
