Why are you so worried?

Just relax.

I'm just so on edge after my last two miscarriages.

There aren't any complications this time, Kiran.

Whatever it is, Sister, you’re not going anywhere.

Dad, tell him I have to go. It's important. I'm going.

-Sister... you're not going anywhere. -Saad, let me go!

Dad, why aren't you stopping him?

-Sister, get back inside. -Dad...

Dad, please come with me to the police station.

We've already wasted so much time.

It's so important that I go.

I can’t let this man go just like that.

I have to file a report against him.

The police will say the same thing, Sehar.

They’ll just say, “You should have been more careful."

Please. Mom, take me to the police.

I need to go to the police.

Mom, I have to go to them.

Sehar, we’ll go in the morning. Yes, tomorrow morning.

Shakoor.

I've sent the location on WhatsApp.

We need to get there. Now.

Yes, sir.

At least drop me at the station first.

Of course. First, let's drop the Inspector at the station,

then head to the hospital.

Actually... never mind.

I'll get a cab to the station myself.

Thank you.

What is it?

Are you serious?

Here I am, a police officer,

willing to go out of my way for you,

spending my own money on a cab...

and this is all I get?

Right.

Here you go. Thank you.

For God's sake, Mr. Kamran.

I'm not some panhandler.

What's that supposed to mean? What are you trying to say?

I'm trying to tell you...

I don't deal in chump change.

Let's go.

What are you waiting for?

Right away, sir.

Sehar!

My child, you're back.

Oh, my daughter's back...

Are you okay, sweetheart?

I'm okay.

I filed a report at the police station.

And I had the medical exam done.

You didn't run into any trouble, did you, dear?

Of course I did, Dad.

I was too late.

I begged and pleaded with all of you,

but nobody listened.

Please forgive us, sweetheart.

No. Don't ask for forgiveness, Mom.

Please, don't apologize.

No matter what the report says...

Whether you all stand by me or not,

I'm going to see this fight through to the end.

We'll stand by you, Sister.

We'll fight this battle together, with you.

We'll do whatever it takes for you, Sister.

Please forgive me.

It's going to be a long, hard fight, Saad.

People will talk...

They'll drag our name through the mud.

You won't be able to bear it.

I think...

I should just leave.

Oh, my child...

If I stay, people will torment you all.

If I'm gone, then no one can say a word to any of you.

No, Sehar!

What are you talking about, darling?

I'm telling you.

We will stand by you no matter what happens.

When you left today without saying a word...

I realized just how terribly we wronged you.

Mom, you only feel that way now.

Tomorrow, when people start taunting you,

you'll change your minds.

Then you'll start pressuring me.

No. That won't happen, dear.

I promise you, it won't.

That simply won't happen.

My child,

let the world say what it will. We don't care.

You've decided to fight,

and we've decided to fight right beside you.

We need to find a good lawyer immediately.

Please start her on this medication immediately.

Greetings, Kamran.

-Greetings. -Congratulations.

Thank you. Thank you.

How are you?

Are you doing okay?

Aren't you going to meet your daughter?

Hi.

Kamran, why are you crying?

These are tears of joy... I'm a father now.

Well, you'd better start acting like one.

What do you mean?

You're even late for this, Kamran.

Who shows up late to the birth of their own child?

Well...

the traffic was an absolute nightmare...

I just got stuck.

Anyway, how does the name Zoe sound?

Zoe...

That's a beautiful name.

Just like her.

Kamran, are you really okay?

I am... I'm okay.

Just getting a bit emotional looking at her.

We'll be discharged tomorrow.

You can look at Zoe all day long when we get home.

Hello?

Greetings, Mr. Kamran.

This is Inspector Shafiq speaking.

Right... can you hold for a minute?

Sure.

What happened, Kamran?

Nothing, it's... a shipment is held up...

they're just giving me a hard time.

I'll just be a minute.

-Kamran! -I'll be right back.

Just give me a minute.

Yes, Inspector?

You were saying.

Yes, sir.

I was calling to let you know

that my team and I will be at your location in about an hour

to proceed with the investigation. Just wanted to give you a heads-up.

Inspector, I already told you I'll be at the hospital.

My daughter was just born. What is this all about?

Oh, many congratulations, that's wonderful news.

May God grant her good fortune.

I understand you must be very busy.

But we still have an investigation to get through.

Listen, could you please just come tomorrow?

Alright, then.

I'll see what I can do.

Thank you.

But I trust you'll look after those who look after you.

Don't bother going to the office tomorrow morning.

We'll visit you.

I just spoke to Kiran.

She's over the moon.

I was thinking, should we go over tomorrow to congratulate them?

Let's just hope it lasts.

What's that supposed to mean?

Nothing.

Listen...

Hmm?

I have to tell you something.

Finally.

I've noticed how worried you've been these past few days.

I was wondering when you would finally talk to me.

What's happened?

I'm caught in a situation I'm not sure I can get out of.

Is everything okay?

What is it?

You remember Sehar,

the head of sales and marketing?

Yes. What about her?

She's filed a case against Kamran.

Filed a case against him?

What kind of case?

Kamran hasn't pulled one of his stunts again, has he?

She's accusing him of rape.

What?

Is the accusation true?

Rohit, is she telling the truth?

Oh my God.

It all happened that night, didn't it?

The night you rushed to Kamran's so worried.

Right now, it's just an allegation. Nothing has been proven.

Tell me the truth, Rohit.

Yes... It happened that night.

And you're only telling me this now?

Because I don't know what to do!

I've been so conflicted about all this.

What do you have to be conflicted about?

The truth is the truth.

Kamran deserves to be punished for this.

But I didn't see anything with my own eyes.

There is no proof.

Rohit.

This is either true or it's not. Tell me.

It's true.

Oh my God.

What a vile, despicable man he is.

He didn't even think about his wife and newborn daughter?

I know, my reaction was the same, but...

I can't believe this.

Greetings, sir.

-Dilawar! -Yes, sir?

Dilawar, come here.

Dilawar, that...

girl who came the other day...

she filed a case against me.

What, sir?

How could she have the guts to do that?

Anyway...

The police will be here tomorrow... for the investigation.

Sir...

will the police arrest me?

What's wrong, Dilawar?

You always talk such a big game.

You hear the word police and you're scared out of your wits?

Sir...

will the case go to court?

Of course it will.

But don't you worry. I'll walk free.

And you and Shakoor have stood by me.

You both...

are very loyal employees of mine.

And the time has come...

for me to take responsibility... for all of your needs.

You deserve a reward.

A very handsome one.

Alright?

Now, listen closely.

You all have to remember just one thing...

You didn't go anywhere last week. You were home the entire time.

That's what you'll tell everyone. Whoever asks.

But what happened, sir?

And who do we need to tell that we didn't go anywhere?

The police, Kiran, anyone.

-The police? -The police?

The police?

Why the police, sir?

I'm the sole provider for my home.

I don't want to get involved with the police.

My husband will beat me half to death.

Farzana, listen...

Listen to me.

There's no police trouble.

You all just have to give a statement.

I'll handle the rest.

Besides...

you were all here the whole of last week.

What's the lie in that?

But why would we give such a statement?

You gave us the day off that day, didn’t you?

Yes, sir. That's right.

You did.

Greetings, sir.

Greetings.

Where's Maqsood?

Maqsood... Maqsood!

Maqsood!

-Sir is asking for you. -Yes, sir?

Is dinner ready?

Yes, sir, the food is ready.

It's just the dessert that's taking a little while.

It will all be ready by the time the guests arrive.

No... the guests are not coming.

Huh?

But sir, all the preparations for the dinner party are done.

I said, the guests are not coming.

There's no dinner party.

Listen, why don't you all...

go on a holiday somewhere today?

A holiday?

You work so hard all day at home, you get tired.

You should go out and about, have some fun.

I've already told Shakoor to show you around the city.

Then, he'll treat you to dinner at a very nice place.

After that, you can go wherever you like.

And Farzana, your home is close by, isn't it?

Yes, sir, it's just about... a half-hour away.

Right, good then.

I'll tell Shakoor to drop you home, alright?

-Yes, sir. -Thank you, sir.

Look, if you all take care of me...

I will take care of you.

And not just once...

But again and again.

But sir...

what happened?

Someone made a false accusation against me.

But what kind of accusation, sir?

And who made it?

A rape accusation.

Made by my friend, Sehar.

Why would she make a false accusation against you?

And why do you need our false testimony to prove she's lying?

I'm not asking you to question me. I'm asking you to give a statement.

It's just a small statement, Farzana.

But...

Sir...

what do we have to say?

-Sir? -Hmm?

I think that girl is leveling false accusations.

What do you think?

I... am not thinking anything.

I'm not thinking about this case at all.

Besides, cases like these never go anywhere in this country.

There's no hope for this one either.

You mean we're just wasting our time?

That nothing's going to come of this?

Whether anyone else gets anything out of this or not...

we definitely will.

How, sir?

The case is weak,

and the guy is extremely well-connected.

What's in it for us?

You just sit back and watch.

You think he's going to get away from Inspector Shafiq Ahmed?

Huh?

Now, let's go.

That night... Sehar came over.

Rohit came over.

We had dinner...

and then you all heard a minor argument.

Other than that...

you didn't see anything, you didn't hear anything...

and nothing out of the ordinary occurred.

Mama! Mama!

Hi, my love. How are you?

-What's going on? -I'm good.

Oh my goodness. Did you win the race?

Yes.

Oh, tell me everything. Who did you outrun?

Everyone.

Vikash, why don't you go change

-so we can have lunch, okay? -Okay.

Mehreen.

Please go get him changed.

Hey, Sehar, how are you?

Rohit, I need to see you.

Yeah, sure.

Can you please come to my house?

Can't we meet somewhere else?

It would be difficult for me to talk in front of people.

But I won't feel comfortable with your family there.

Please, Rohit. I must see you.

Sehar...

Sehar, hi. It's Manisha.

Can you come to our house?

I'm already here.

I can't come to your house, Manisha.

I hope you can understand.

If you're uncomfortable,

I can come to pick you up myself.

Hello?

Sehar?

Yes, I'm here. Um...

No, it's fine. I'll come over.

What time should I be there?

In about an hour.

Okay, thank you.

What was that about? Why on earth would you ask her to come here?

Well, you could have gone to her house to meet her.

That's exactly why I suggested meeting somewhere else.

A person's comfort level matters, you know.

If anyone's comfort is important right now, Rohit, it's Sehar's.

And what about Kamran?

If he finds out, what will he think?

For God's sake, Rohit.

This is bigger than friendship or business.

This is about a human being.

I just can't seem to think straight right now.

Manisha will be home. I already spoke with her.

And she works for women's rights.

I'm sure they will help me.

If they were going to help, they would have done it by now.

They wouldn't just be sitting here in silence.

Honey, people only look out for their own relationships and their businesses.

Why would they ever help you?

Okay, Sister, if you must go, then I'm coming with you.

No, Saad, you're not coming with me.

You'll lose your temper and just make things worse.

This is my last hope. I can't afford to lose it.

Sister, I won't come inside. I'll just wait for you in the car.

But please, don't go by yourself.

Did you all understand what Sir explained?

No. Of course, I don't get it, Dilawar.

Sir has never given us this much money.

Something is definitely fishy.

That's because he's never been accused of something like this before, has he?

But why would that girl make up such a serious accusation?

Big shots, big talk, big accusations.

That's none of our business.

We've got our money.

We should be looking out for number one.

Besides, sir said he'll continue to look after us.

If he ends up in jail, how the hell is he going to look after us?

Do you really think a man as powerful as Mr. Kamran would go to jail?

Yeah, so?

Are you an idiot?

We should be thanking our lucky stars he's the one being accused.

It's like we've all hit the lottery.

I don't know, man. This is terrifying.

He's going to get us all into deep trouble.

Are you Dilawar?

Yes... Yes, sir.

Ever done time in a lock-up?

No, sir.

Fancy a visit?

No...

Why, sir?

What are you looking at, sir?

Just checking to see if he wet his pants.

You're such a yellow-belly.

I can only imagine what kind of guard you are.

If anything went down, you'd be the first one to bolt.

Alright, don't take it to heart.

Go inside and inform your boss

that Inspector Shafiq and his team have graced him with their presence.

Yes, sir.

This guy must be loaded, sir.

And his guard is about to tell him

exactly what kind of man Inspector Shafiq is.

The police are here, sir.

Oh?

How many of them?

Three policemen, sir.

Send them in. Hey, wait.

What happened?

Why do you look so spooked?

Because that inspector is a real scumbag, sir.

Is that so?

Right. Okay.

Tell me, are Farzana, Mureed,

and Maqsood absolutely clear on their story?

They've understood it all perfectly, sir.

It's just... I have my doubts about Shakoor.

He seems a little nervous.

Don't you worry about him.

He's rock-solid.

Just relax, okay?

-Now go, send them in. -Okay, sir.

You all can come in, Inspector.

Come in, please come on in, Inspector.

How are you? Doing well? I'm well.

Please, have a seat.

We're not here for a social call, Mr. Kamran.

In that case, can I offer you a drink?

Mr. Kamran, the police already have a bad name for mooching free meals.

Are you trying to make it drinks now, too?

No, no, that's not it at all.

I was just thinking that the police are unfairly...

Mr. Kamran...

you're gravely mistaken.

The police are rightly infamous.

So, tell me. What can I do for you?

No, no... why don't you tell us what we can do for you?

I'm sorry... I'm not sure I follow.

Don't worry. You can speak freely.

No, I'm not worried at all.

As I said, I'm on good terms with the SP.

Plus, the MNA from our area, Mr. Farooq, is a close friend.

He's like family to me. And he's a minister now.

But neither the SP nor the minister will be conducting the investigation.

Exactly. That's why I'm saying...

that if this investigation isn't handled correctly...

I'll be forced to file a complaint with both the SP and the minister.

Oh, don't you worry about the investigation.

We'll do it by the book.

Provided you don't have a problem with a proper investigation, of course.

Then you'll have no reason to complain.

And besides...

You just became a father.

We wouldn't want to disrupt your family's happiness. Right, boys?

Leave my daughter out of this, Inspector.

Whoa,

Mr. Kamran, you're completely misunderstanding me.

All I'm saying is...

You should spend as much time with your family as you can.

Otherwise, in cases like these,

you end up running back and forth to courts and police stations...

it wastes a lot of time.

Please, stop beating around the bush, Inspector.

Let's get to the point.

Who said I'm beating around the bush?

I'm talking about the point... my point.

Should we perhaps discuss this in the other room... alone?

Oh, don't worry about these two.

They're my most trusted men.

Whenever there's an incident to deal with...

we handle our business together.

Just think of us as your own, Mr. Kamran.

Now, tell us...

what is it that you want?

All I want is for Sehar's lie to be exposed.

Your face, however, tells me her accusation might not be a lie, after all.

It is!

It’s a complete lie!

I’m just baffled as to why she’d tell such an enormous lie.

What proof could she possibly have?

Hmm, the reason is unclear, but you're right...

she has no proof.

Mr. Kamran,

if that girl had gotten a medical exam right after the alleged incident...

you'd have found yourself in hot water.

Why would I be in hot water?

Inspector, she only delayed because her accusation is false.

You tell me...

in this day and age, would any educated woman

wait a week to file a police report?

You do have a point there.

Okay...

so, the dinner happened in this house?

Yes, that's correct, in this very house.

According to Sehar's statement,

you were home alone on the night of the incident,

with just your guard.

A lie.

That's a flat-out lie.

My three servants, my driver, and my guard...

they were all present. Rohit came for dinner as well.

And according to Sehar,

Rohit arrived after the incident took place...

and your wife wasn't home either.

The only truth in any of that is that Kiran wasn't home.

She was pregnant and staying at her parents' house.

Hmm.

Very well.

We'll need the footage from your home's CCTV cameras for the official record.

Well... the thing is...

I… I never actually had CCTV cameras installed in the house.

Wow, Mr. Kamran... just wow.

Even under these circumstances,

you have so much faith in the police

that you didn't even bother installing security cameras in your home.

You could say that.

Then we'll need to conduct a full inspection of your entire house.

But...

and why would that be necessary?

Oh, Mr. Kamran. You know how it is.

We have to prepare a report and submit it to the court.

Oh, right.

Yes. Okay.

For that, we'll need to question your driver,

the guard, all three members of your staff,

your friend Rohit, and your wife as well.

What could you possibly need to ask them?

I'll answer any questions you have.

Why waste your time?

Will you listen to this guy?

He's so concerned about us wasting our time.

Inspector...

Let's speak privately. This way, please.

Have a seat, Inspector.

Inspector, I’d prefer if this case didn’t go to court.

By the time I'm cleared,

my name will have been dragged through the mud,

and it will take forever to prove my innocence.

At this point, no one can stop this case from going to court.

So, you're saying there's nothing you can do to help?

Hey... I never said that.

The start of this case may not be in my hands...

but the outcome is.

But your hands are empty.

Empty hands don't inspire much confidence.

You're absolutely right, Mr. Kamran.

They do look rather pathetic, being so empty, don't they?

Here you go.

Now they won’t be empty anymore.

Mr. Kamran…

The thing is…

You have to understand,

these hands have a lot of other empty hands they need to fill.

So, does that mean I’ll be left empty-handed in the end?

Here you go.

Now, no one will be left empty-handed.

Now we’re talking, Mr. Kamran.

Indeed.

No one will be left empty-handed now.

Alright, you can relax now.

Consider it handled.

Thank you.

So…

now tell me the real story this time.

What do you mean? What other story is there to tell?

Tell me what really happened that night, Mr. Kamran.

I’ve already told you the truth.

Mr. Kamran, it took you less than a second to open that briefcase.

If you’d just told me the truth from the start,

none of this would have been necessary.
