You take my money

and then you still suspect me?

You bet.

I took your money, and you're still my prime suspect.

What's that supposed to mean?

Mr. Kamran,

I already have your money.

What's to stop you from accusing me of taking a bribe down the line?

I'm putting my neck out for you...

So I need you to do the same and tell me everything.

And for that reason alone,

how, and why should I trust you?

You're a sharp businessman.

A man like you doesn't just throw his money away.

You trusted me with your cash...

so now trust me with your story.

Besides, the medical report isn't back yet.

Sir usually wraps things up in a couple of minutes.

Why is he taking so long today?

Because Kamran is a big fish.

That's why it's dragging on.

So that means

he's going to squeeze even more money out of him, right?

Inspector Shafiq is a master at this.

Just wait and watch.

Every minute he's in there, the price goes up.

Be quiet.

So, the truth is that...

Sehar's rape accusation is false.

The rest, however, is true.

It's a long shot, but

something might still show up in the medical report.

That's why I don't want this to escalate in any way.

What do you mean by that?

What I mean is...

Only my guard was present.

They somehow turn out to be quite delicious.

So, you do admit that you cook bitter gourd the wrong way, then?

I had given the rest of the staff the day off.

Huh?

And why did you do that?

Sehar and I were having an affair,

and I didn't want any of the staff telling my wife.

And I kept refusing, which made her absolutely furious.

Sehar!

Is anybody there?

She just started screaming.

Then, when Rohit arrived...

she completely lost it, stormed out yelling...

and then a week later...

she filed this rape case against me.

Hmm.

That's a hell of a story, Mr. Kamran.

You don't believe me?

I don't buy a single word of it.

Sehar may not have any proof that you're lying...

but this case is more than enough to drag your name through the mud.

Oh God,

please help me.

Please soften Rohit's heart towards me.

You're my only hope, my Lord.

Alright, listen up.

On the night of the incident, Shakoor was at his house.

Dilawar was here.

Where were you three?

We... uh...

What incident, Inspector?

What are you talking about? We don't know anything.

What's wrong with you, Farzana?

I already told you that a girl filed a false accusation against me.

Inspector, to tell you the truth...

Sir gave us the day off that day.

Well, that's just fantastic.

Do you have any idea

you've just helped the police apprehend Pakistan's most wanted criminal?

And for your cooperation, the government

will be rewarding you with a government job and a cash prize.

Hey, listen...

Yes.

The night of the incident,

none of you went anywhere.

You were all present right here.

Sehar was here.

She even had dinner.

Sehar and Kamran fought.

A fight you only heard.

You didn't see a thing.

Do I make myself clear? Got it?

Did you understand what I just said or not?

-Yes, Inspector. -We understand.

Yes, we do.

You understand, don't you?

Or do I need to take you down to the station?

Yes, I understand, Inspector. I do.

I know your business and your friendship are extremely important to you.

But you're the only witness to this.

You've already filed a case,

so... I'm not sure what else I can do for you at this point.

You can testify.

You can tell them the whole truth.

I suggest you wait for the medical report to come in first.

Maybe then you won't even need my testimony.

The doctor told me not to put much faith in the medical report.

In any case,

I can't just sit back and do nothing while I wait for it, can I?

Sehar,

why didn't you file an FIR right away?

In rape cases,

it's crucial to get a medical examination done immediately.

You know how families react when their daughter is raped...

I was on the receiving end of that same reaction.

And honestly...

I am tired of having to explain that, again and again.

I'm so sorry, Sehar.

As a woman, I can understand what you must be...

Nobody can understand.

Only the person who's been through it can understand.

No one else.

All the evidence against you...

I've taken care of it. It's all gone.

Thank you, Inspector Shafiq.

Now, Rohit is your responsibility.

Technically, the law forbids me from doing this...

taking Rohit's statement directly from you.

But, seeing as you were a good host to me...

I'll grant you this favor.

So...

are you going to Sehar's place today?

Yes.

We most certainly will.

Mr. Kamran, from now on,

you should consider Inspector Shafiq not as your friend...

but as your agent.

Sorry, excuse me.

It's Inspector Shafiq. I need to take this.

Of course.

Hello?

Hello.

Greetings, how are you?

It's Inspector Shafiq speaking.

Yes? What is it?

Yes, I need to come by your house

to take statements from your parents and your brother.

Inspector, could you give me some time?

I'll bring my family to the police station myself.

Uh...

Look, I really don't want to inconvenience you any further.

I know you're already going through so much.

I understand.

That's why I'd like to come to you directly.

I'm not at home right now.

Can you give me two hours?

Thank you.

Right, let's head to Sehar's place.

Sir,

but you just told Sehar we'd be there in two hours.

Why are we leaving immediately?

God, you're such a jinx.

And when you ask such stupid questions,

you're an even bigger one.

We have to report to the station on the way.

Now, let's go.

Yes, sir.

We'll be seeing you very soon, Mr. Kamran.

Thank you.

Thank you once again.

Rohit, I think you need to stand by Sehar.

What are you asking me to do?

You want me to testify in court?

Against Kamran?

You need to tell him to confess.

He committed a crime,

so he has to be punished, doesn't he?

You don't know Kamran at all, do you?

Instead of confessing, he'll pour all his energy into winning this case.

Rohit, tell me something.

If Kamran doesn't pay for what he did...

how will you be able to look yourself in the mirror for the rest of your life?

Or even look Manisha in the eye?

Sehar...

please, trust me. This is not easy for me.

It's very difficult for me to get involved in this mess.

But I'll see what I can do.

Just give me some time.

I've already wasted too much time.

Time is a luxury I don't have.

Okay... I'll see what I can do.

Rohit.

Manisha, how many times do I have to say it?

What more can I possibly add?

And I've made myself clear already.

Sehar, I'm extremely sorry.

I can't help you, even if I wanted to.

Please, forgive me.

That's fine.

It doesn't matter.

But I will see this case through to the end,

win or lose.

You stand by your friend.

Go on, hire the best lawyer there is.

But I will fight this battle until the very end.

Thank you for your time.

Sehar, wait.

If Rohit won't help you,

then I will.

Manisha... Manisha, stop it! What's wrong with you?

Do you think you're the only one left to be some crusader for justice?

And are you the only one left to stand in the way of it?

So what's your plan?

You're going to testify against Kamran in court?

If I have to, I will.

On what grounds?

What evidence do you have?

Were you there? Can you even prove anything?

Did you see anything with your own eyes?

No.

But I can use all of my contacts.

I know plenty of lawyers and NGOs who will help her, Rohit.

Manisha, all that will do is drag our names through the mud.

Mine, yours, the company's.

And she still won't get justice.

And why not, Rohit?

Of course, she'll get justice.

You stand with your friend.

I'll stand for what's right.

And understand something, Rohit.

This is nothing personal.

It's about principles.

Manisha, everything about this is extremely personal to me.

You know this.

Don't you worry. I'm with you.

Give me your number.

I'll just grab my phone, okay?

Music.

Sir, why are you sounding the siren?

There's no traffic ahead.

The road is completely clear.

I just pointed out

how much of a jinx you are for asking stupid questions.

And yet, here you go again.

Whatever you say, sir.

Let's at least make sure the entire neighborhood knows...

the police have arrived.

Greetings, sir.

Is everything alright, sir? What brings you all here?

Yes.

Tell me, which apartment is Sehar's?

-Sir, it's... -Sir, we already have the address.

Third floor,

apartment three hundred three.

Ridiculous.

You just can't seem to help yourself, can you?

Let's go to apartment three hundred three then.

Come on now. Lead the way.

Sir,

here comes Mr. Moazzam.

Sister Sehar's father.

Greetings, Uncle.

Greetings.

Are you Sehar Moazzam's father?

Yes...

What happened to Sehar?

Is she alright?

Don't worry, nothing's wrong. She's perfectly fine.

She actually filed a complaint with us,

and we're just here to follow up on it.

My name is Inspector Shafiq.

My team and I are handling the investigation.

Well, son...

Sehar is out at the moment.

I see.

Well, that's alright.

We still need to take a statement from you, your wife, and your son.

Saad isn't home either...

I think it would be better if you came back in a little while.

Uncle,

you have guests at your doorstep and you're sending them away?

We, the police, may have a bad reputation,

but trust me, we have good hearts.

Besides, Uncle...

the more we come and go,

the more the neighbors will talk.

And I'd hate for this to tarnish your family's reputation.

Okay, fine.

Please, come.

Sure.

Alright then.

So, you two and your son, Saad...

will be the witnesses for Miss Sehar.

Witnesses?

How?

We weren't even with Sehar the day of the incident.

But she came home right after it happened, didn't she, Uncle?

And...

no one really knows what went down there.

So that makes the three of you the only witnesses.

Although if there's someone else in the building who saw something,

we can bring them in. We'll question them too.

No.

There are no other witnesses.

Uncle...

daughters are a shared responsibility.

But parents have a duty as well, don't they?

You sent her to a stranger’s house all alone that late at night?

Son, I was expecting you to ask

why I kept my daughter locked away for days.

Or why I didn't immediately file a police report.

I was getting to that.

When will your son be here?

Give him a call and ask him to come over.

He needs to be questioned as well.

I'll... I'll call him right now.

Uncle, please sit.

There's something very important we need to discuss.

Miss Sehar has already filed the case.

But it's clear to me you're decent, respectable people.

The defendant's lawyer is going to ask all sorts of questions on the witness stand.

And he won't just question Miss Sehar.

He'll drag your entire family's name through the mud.

He'll make a complete circus out of you in open court, Uncle.

That whole breed of lawyers...

may God save you from them.

I just want to know if you're prepared for all that?

Oh, come now. You look worried.

I came here to give you courage.

But what you're saying...

It's incredibly unsettling.

I'll... go and get some tea.

Hello?

Yes, Mom?

Sehar, when will you be home, dear?

Mom, we're on our way. We'll be there in five minutes.

Is everything alright?

It's just...

the police are here.

And they're saying the most unsettling things.

Why are they there? I told them two hours.

Why would they come now?

Mom, listen to me. Don't fall for their games.

Don't say a word until I get there. I'm on my way.

Please, come in, Miss Sehar.

We were waiting for you. Glad you're here.

I believe the understanding was you'd be here in two hours.

Why have you arrived early?

SP Zohaib has assigned us another case as well.

That's why we had to come by here first.

You could have summoned us to the station then.

Why trouble yourself by coming all the way here?

I didn't want to put you all out.

But you are.

Saad.

What do you mean by that?

I mean, it must be such a hassle for you, right?

And it troubles us to see you so troubled.

Wow. Bravo, son.

That's some brilliant wordplay.

You're quite the wordsmith, aren't you?

You came to take everyone's statements, didn't you?

Have you taken them?

Yes. It's all been recorded.

You haven't written a single thing.

It's all recorded up here.

You mean a photographic memory.

I know that.

I'm well aware.

Why isn't Sub-Inspector Zainab with your team?

She's a bit under the weather, so she couldn't make it.

And an investigation this important

can't be put on hold just because someone's sick, can it, Uncle?

You're absolutely right.

So, shall we begin the questioning?

Please, take everyone's statements.

Javed.

Sir?

Write it down.

Sure.

Well then,

we should be on our way.

I'm sure we'll be seeing each other again.

But...

if you'd prefer...

we won't have to.

The decision is yours, Miss Sehar.

I don't trust that man one bit.

He acts more like Kamran's personal lackey than a police officer.

Something has changed, Mom.

When I went to file the report that day,

his behavior was completely different.

Back then, he didn't even have a clue who Kamran was.

Kamran must have bribed him.

It's obvious he's trying to scare us into dropping the case.

Hello.

Yes?

Is this the final report?

Okay.

What is it, Sehar?

Sehar, what's wrong, my child?

Sweetheart, please tell us. What is it?

There's nothing in the medical report, Dad.

There is no proof against Kamran.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Aamir, regarding that case...

the Irshad versus Nighat Parveen case, I believe...

I'll be at the Supreme Court, so go ahead and get a new hearing date.

We'll iron out the other details in a little while.

Alright?

I must say, Mr. Kamran,

you have a strong case. But...

if we look at this from another angle,

this could also become a serious problem for you.

That's precisely why I chose one of Pakistan's top lawyers.

Well then, I must applaud your choice.

By the way, I was wondering how quickly I can win this case.

After all, the medical report has nothing incriminating against me.

No, not quite. Allow me to correct you.

Just a moment...

There it is.

There is nothing in the DNA report.

The medical report,

however, does mention... minor injuries on Sehar Moazzam's neck and body.

Bruises, you see.

Look, Mr. Bukhari.

Her neck, her body, wherever there are marks...

what proof is there that they're because of me?

Very impressive.

You could have been a lawyer yourself.

In fact, you sound like a lawyer for lawyers.

But...

the thing is, Mr. Kamran...

this file...

all these details are for the court.

Now...

what I need you to tell me is what exactly happened that night?

Exactly what's written in the file.

Do I need to remind you that you’re paying me a handsome, hefty fee?

If so, I’m obligated to tell you that this case could carry the death penalty.

If you can trust me to save your life,

then you must also trust me with the truth.

I hate to repeat myself, but as the old saying goes…

“Never hide an illness from your doctor,

the truth from your lawyer,

or your belly from a midwife.”

These things have a way of revealing themselves anyway.

So Mr. Kamran,

if you hide anything from me…

you’ll be the one to pay the price.

And you think I’m lying to you?

That’s what I need to find out from you.

You see, Mr. Kamran, to save you,

I’ll have to tell a great many lies in court.

But I can only spin those lies if I’ve heard the unvarnished truth from you first.

The absolute truth.

Okay.

Okay… fine.

I’ll tell you exactly what happened,

but you won’t discuss it with Inspector Shafiq, my wife,

or anyone else, for that matter.

Whoa, I don’t even know you. Who are you?

This is a confidential matter, so you can trust me.

Go ahead, please.

That’s true, Mr. Bukhari.

I did rape Sehar.

I see.

Well… To err is human.

Mistakes happen.

Now…

I want you to walk me through every last detail.

How did all of this happen?

Oh, Brother Moazzam!

Yes, Brother Shahid?

Brother,

the police were here in the building for the first time.

And they came to your apartment, of all places.

And now everyone’s asking what happened.

What happened?

Nothing happened.

Was something supposed to happen?

Nothing happened?

Brother Moazzam, the police were at your place,

and you’re saying nothing happened?

Well, the thing is, that inspector…

he’s actually my wife’s nephew,

so he just dropped by for a visit.

Oh, really? But he’s never visited like this before, has he?

With a police van and constables in tow?

Well, he wasn’t on the force before.

Don’t tell me he just joined, at his age?

No, actually… he wasn’t posted here.

He was stationed in Hyderabad.

That’s all well and good,

but I think you should have a word with him.

Ask him to be a bit more considerate.

This is a building with respectable families.

Showing up with sirens blazing…

It’s just not right.

You see, it just gives people a reason to gossip.

You get what I’m saying, right?

Yes, you’re right.

That was foolish of him. I’ll explain it to him.

He won’t do it again.

He won’t show up like that again.

Here you go, Shakoor, take this money.

Take this as well.

Sir, why are you giving me so much money?

You do so much for me,

and you’ve been loyal for all these years.

It’s only right that I take care of you.

Thank you so much, sir.

I wish you all the happiness in the world.

Actually, one more thing. Go to the office.

I’m here to see Mr. Rohit.

Sir.

Sir, Mr. Kamran sent these documents over.

Please make sure to go through them.

What is this?

Sir, he told me you should see them for yourself.

What kind of sick joke is this, Kamran?

What the hell did you send me?

Just proof that you’re a witness

and that Sehar is lying.

Then why aren’t the police talking to me directly about this?

Because I’ve already paid them off.

I didn’t want my friend to have to go through the trouble of going down to the station.

I gave a statement on your behalf

and had it added to the official police report.
