Original subtitles

Sir, Sehar wasn't able to provide a shred of evidence against Kamran.

Every crime leaves a trail, Shafiq.

You just have to know where to look.

That's why the investigation needs to be airtight.

We've explored every possible angle, sir.

But we've come up empty.

Kamran is a respectable man.

Sehar just cooked up this story, sir.

She's levelling a false accusation against Kamran.

They're having an affair.

Or rather, I should say,

on Sehar’s part, it isn’t an affair but a trap...

to extort more money from Kamran.

In this conclusion of yours,

how much is based on your investigation...

and how much on Kamran's word?

Sir, we took the suspect Kamran's statement and investigated based on that,

but not a single witness has come forward to corroborate Sehar's claims.

On the day of the incident,

Sehar claims none of the three servants were at home.

But when we traced their locations using mobile data,

all three were present at the house.

The medical report came back clean, sir.

And the delay in getting a medical exam...

that's another thing that doesn't add up.

Sir, for a well-educated girl,

after something like that happens...

to just sit at home, terrified?

That just doesn't make any sense.

Did you find any evidence at Kamran's house?

No, sir, nothing.

And has Sehar's section 164 statement been recorded

before the magistrate or not?

Sir, the request has been submitted.

It should be done in a day or two.

Alright, you may leave now.

Sir.

Sehar.

Sehar,

what will happen now, dear?

I'll keep fighting, Mom.

God's help will come.

I know it will.

Why don't you try talking to Kamran's wife?

Maybe she'll agree to help.

Mom, Rohit won't listen to me...

how can I expect Kamran's wife to?

Even his best friend won't listen.

How will you win?

I don't know...

but I'm not going down without a fight, Mom.

Please, forgive me, Sehar.

Mom, please stop asking for my forgiveness. Please.

Then what am I supposed to do?

I’ve brought such cruelty upon my own daughter.

Even God won't forgive me.

Mom, what's done is done... there's no use talking about it now.

If you fall apart like this... my courage will break too.

I won't be able to do anything. I need you with me right now.

Don't do this, please.

Even if the entire world turns against you,

I will never abandon my daughter.

My child...

Hello.

Yeah, tell me.

What happened?

Huh?

Is your mama mean to you?

Is your dad the good one?

-Hey, Kamran? -Yes?

At what age do babies start sleeping for eight hours straight?

How am I supposed to know? She's my first, too.

When she's a little older and grows a brain,

I'll set her straight. I'll scold her

and tell her not to bother her mom. Okay?

By the time she grows a brain, I think we'll have lost ours.

Come here.

Look, it's just for tonight.

The maid will be here tomorrow.

That should take some of the weight off your shoulders.

Excuse me?

I'm the one who found the maid.

You can't even handle a simple task like that.

Hey, I do my part.

Who's calling?

Why is Sehar calling me?

You don't need to talk to her.

She just vanished into thin air.

She didn't even resign or let anyone know.

You don't need to speak with her.

I know, but why is she calling me?

I'm answering it.

Hello.

Is she not answering?

It was ringing, but it just cut off.

What happened?

I don't know... she just hung up.

Here, give me the phone. I'll block her number.

She's probably calling about her final paycheck.

The office will deal with it. Give it here.

Just let me talk to her.

-It's Kiran's call. -Pick it up. Pick it up.

Hello.

Yes, Sehar, what's wrong?

How are you?

I'm fine, but where did you disappear to?

Kamran said you just vanished all of a sudden.

Didn't Kamran tell you anything else?

No. What happened?

Can you handle hearing the truth?

What do you mean by that? What happened, Sehar? Tell me.

Why are you crying? What's going on?

Just tell me, Sehar. What happened?

Give Zoe to me.

What's wrong?

-Give me my daughter. -Okay, okay.

Is it true, Kamran?

I'm asking you. Is it true?

No, it's not true. She's making false accusations.

I didn't rape anyone.

Huh?

I never said she accused you of rape.

I mean...

What did you do, Kamran?

I didn't do anything!

Where do you draw the line, Kamran?

-I didn't do anything. -Where does it stop for you?

I'm telling you. I didn't do anything. Listen to me once!

I don't know why she filed a rape case against me.

I wanted to tell you,

but I didn't want to worry you over nothing.

Why would she file a false case against you?

How would I know?

For all I know, she probably saw it as an opportunity

to blackmail me for money.

This is about that night, isn't it?

That same night you had dinner plans...

I kept calling and calling, and you wouldn't pick up your phone.

That was a plan with Rohit. I already told you.

You had a plan with Rohit, right?

Then why was he the one calling me to ask where you were?

But he came over later,

and he's the one who put me on the phone with you.

Why did he have to?

Why didn't you just pick up your own phone?

Kiran!

Why do you keep forgetting things?

I told you that night my phone was charging in the lounge.

That's why Rohit had to connect us!

So you're going to doubt me because of some woman's false accusation?

Yes. Because I know what your past is like.

Stop it, Kiran.

You can't doubt me just because my past was questionable.

Questionable? It was shameful.

For God's sake...

I've stood here and listened to this long enough.

My past isn't questionable enough for me to rape someone.

I can't even fathom doing something like that.

And if you don't trust me, if you don't believe me,

then call Rohit.

-I will call Rohit. -Go ahead, call Rohit.

-I will call Rohit. -Call him.

Hello?

Hello?

Rohit, can you please come over?

What happened, Kiran?

I'm telling you.

I need to talk to you about something important.

Please, just come over.

But at least tell me what's wrong.

Rohit, it's an emergency. Please, just get here!

Okay, I'm on my way.

Where's your phone?

Where is your phone?

-Kiran! -Where is your phone?

Stay here.

You're not moving an inch until Rohit gets here.

What has this guy gotten me into?

How can I tell Kiran such a blatant lie?

What if she speaks to Manisha about it?

If only you'd listened to me, Kamran...

Of course, we'll discuss all the details.

Alright.

Bye.

Yeah, get me a green tea.

Okay.

Where are you coming from?

I went for lunch.

With whom?

With Kiran.

So, you went for lunch with Kiran,

and now you're coming back in Sehar's car?

What are you doing in this office?

You should be in the police force.

You'll catch all the thieves.

Kamran, what's going on?

Nothing's going on.

I went for lunch with Sehar, Inspector Rohit.

Honestly, nothing is going on.

Alright, if you don't want to tell me,

I'll ask Sehar myself.

Rohit, what's wrong, buddy?

What happened?

Why are you so angry?

Tell me, what's the matter?

What's going on here?

I invited Sehar for lunch, and…

And?

Since I told her

that you’re busy in a meeting and can’t come for lunch…

So that's why she left the car in such a fit of anger?

Exactly.

I don't know why she was getting so angry.

Kamran.

I flirted a little in the car.

I thought maybe she was just acting all high and mighty, so...

But don't worry, I sorted everything out.

What was the need for that?

If she says anything to anyone in the office,

what respect will we have left?

I thought she wouldn’t mind.

You and Kiran kept saying I was being rude to her,

so I figured we should get along.

Save your breath.

You got angry with her on purpose. I know that.

This is a real problem.

Old friends can sense everything without you even saying a word.

Oh, I promise, nothing like this will happen again.

I won't do anything.

Listen…

Yes, thank you.

Get one for Mr. Rohit as well.

Come.

Come on.

Excuse me, Rohit.

Do you have a minute?

Why didn’t you come for lunch?

Actually, I had to attend a really important meeting.

That’s why I couldn’t make it.

Okay.

Rohit, is what Sehar is accusing him of true?

Rohit, I'm asking you a question.

Why are you dodging it?

It's not true.

Sehar's accusation is a complete lie.

There, are you satisfied now? Relax and have a seat.

No, I'm not satisfied.

What do you mean by that?

I suppose I was already a liar, but now Rohit is one too?

Rohit, you were supposed to come over for dinner that night, weren't you?

Yes, and I was here.

But that night, you called me to ask about Kamran...

and then Sehar just quit her job out of the blue.

And now this rape accusation?

Doesn't any of this seem odd to you?

What is wrong with you?

Why have you started interrogating him all of a sudden?

Kamran...

Just because some girl makes an accusation,

you suddenly don't trust either of us?

Kamran, it's okay.

Let me handle this.

Kiran, this is what happened.

Kamran and I were together.

Sehar came over, we had dinner, and then she left.

Nothing else happened.

And the very next day, she stops coming to the office.

She didn't contact anyone.

Basically, she just ghosted everyone, right?

I know.

I know, Kiran.

It sounds absurd when you put it like that,

but that's exactly what happened.

Rohit, Sehar just pulled off a hugely successful launch for our company.

Everyone at the office appreciates her.

Why on earth would she do this now?

Exactly!

That's what we've both been wondering.

Can I please talk to Rohit?

You are talking to him.

Go on, talk. Brother, you're on your own now.

Okay.

If you're both telling the truth, then let's go.

Show me the CCTV footage.

The CCTV footage...

The police took it as part of their investigation.

If there was anything on it,

don't you think the police would have arrested me by now?

And if there was nothing on it,

why would the police take it in the first place?

What's gotten into you, Kiran? Don't you get it?

It's evidence for the police investigation!

They took all the drives as evidence so they could put their report together.

And Kiran, even when those reports come back in my favor,

are you still going to doubt me like this?

I'm putting my trust in you, Rohit...

because my heart just won't let me trust that man.

What is this nonsense?

She's doubting me?

Just because some girl made a false accusation,

she's going to talk to me this way?

That's enough. Just stop it, please.

Kiran...

please trust me.

What he's saying is true.

Please, just try to relax.

Better yet, go be with Zoe.

It seems like she’s calmed down now.

Thanks, buddy.

It was getting really dicey.

Sehar came to see me at my place.

What are you talking about?

She's already met with Manisha, too.

Sehar wants me to testify as a witness.

Kamran...

I'm sinking deeper and deeper into this mess every single day.

Because now, Manisha is mad at me, too.

Just get Manisha under control somehow.

Bukhari will handle everything else.

You honestly think I can control Manisha?

You've got a point...

Handling these women is incredibly difficult, man.

I was thinking...

if Sehar somehow manages to prove that it was rape...

I'll just say we were having an affair.

Are you out of your mind, Kamran?

You were in a position of authority.

Having an affair with your own employee is a criminal offense.

Secondly, you think if you tell Kiran...

she'll just let you off the hook?

That she'll say, “Oh, an affair is fine...

but a rape would have been a problem?”

I'm certain Sehar wouldn't lie.

And I suppose Sehar told you all of this herself?

She's not picking up anyone's calls.

But I’m sure that she is telling the truth.

But I have complete faith in Mr. Kamran.

Why would he rape Sehar?

Then, in your eyes, why do people commit rape?

I don't have a PhD in the minds of rapists.

Mr. Kamran is a man of high moral character.

I know him personally.

So, you've got a PhD in Mr. Kamran's character, have you?

There's no need to get so aggressive, Sana.

This isn't our battle.

The ones fighting it will handle it in court.

And you need to stop spreading this negative influence

around the office for no reason.

That the news about Sehar's rape is a lie, not the truth,

is an opinion only you hold in this entire office.

Hello.

Does no one here really believe Sehar is lying?

Hello.

Yes, greetings.

Yes, madam is in a court hearing.

She asked me to tell you to come to the office within the hour.

Yes, that's right.

Also, could you please bring all the case documents

and related details with you?

Yes, of course.

Okay.

Ma'am, would you also like to have some coffee?

No, thank you.

Sehar, I need you to walk me through it.

How did this all start?

We're facing two challenges.

And this is the mindset we need to adopt moving forward.

We need to retain our current customers while also attracting new ones.

Sehar, we know how to sell clothes.

Of course you do.

But your problem right now isn't just selling clothes,

it's about selling more clothes.

Which is something you haven't managed to do for the past two years, Mr. Kamran.

Our customers see our brand as something special.

So what's the problem, Sehar?

Look, there are two ways to think about it.

Is your brand special because it's expensive?

Or is it expensive because it's special?

That message has gotten lost somewhere.

We need to convince our customers

that what they're buying is worth far more than its price tag,

even in this economy.

We have to make them understand.

You see, the strategy I've created...

Right, we've heard this already. We have.

We get it.

Our competitors have been beating us for the last two seasons.

They know we've hired a new team... your team.

Yes.

So obviously, they're going to launch their own campaign,

change their strategy...

They'd love nothing more than to see this company go under.

So let them wish, Mr. Kamran.

To win, you don't just exploit an opponent's weaknesses,

you exploit their desires, too.

Some people are defeated by their flaws, others by what they want.

If we focus on our game while they're focused on us,

we'll have the advantage.

Well...

I have my doubts.

Kamran, I think we should give Sehar a chance this time.

What do you guys think?

What's your take?

I agree.

What about you?

I think her confidence alone warrants giving her a chance.

She deserves it.

Done.

You're heading this season's marketing campaign.

Thank you.

Sehar...

I hope it works.

It will.

Kiran and Rohit seemed convinced enough.

But your Mr. Kamran didn't look sold on it.

I don't get it either.

Mr. Kamran has been so rude lately.

What do you mean? Was he not like this before?

Not really.

I've been with this company for three years.

And I have never seen him behave like this.

I don't know...

for the past three or four months,

he's just been completely different.

Well, that's right around the time I joined the company.

So, is it me?

No, no.

It's probably just the pressure with everything going on with the company.

Probably.

Well...

let's hope things turn around for the company.

We'll certainly do our part.

Sehar.

It's half past nine, and you're still here?

Oh, I was just finishing up some emails for Uneeb. They're sent now.

With the launch so close, you know how it is.

The pressure's really on.

You and your team have done some really great work. Good job.

Thank you.

My team will be thrilled to hear that.

We've all been hoping to hear that from you.

I know.

The pressure's been high... given the situation.

Rohit and Kiran pointed out that my attitude has been off.

Alright, come on.

You should head home.

We have a long day tomorrow.

I'm leaving in a bit. My brother's picking me up,

but it'll take him about an hour. He's coming from pretty far away.

An hour?

His location is quite far from here.

It'll be really late by then.

Come on, I'll drop you home.

Oh no, that's alright, really.

I have to get to a friend's place from here,

and it's pretty far out of your way.

So what's the issue? I'll drop you off.

Don't worry. Come on.

Are you sure?

One hundred percent.

Okay then. I’ll just let my brother know he doesn’t need to pick me up.

Alright. Just wrap things up and come on down.

-I’ll be waiting for you. -Thanks.

I think the U-turn is just up ahead, Shakoor.

Yes, sir.

Just here… this is the house.

Pull over in front of the gate. Thank you. Thank you so much.

I’m so sorry to make you drive all this way.

Not at all, it’s okay. It’s no problem.

I’ll see you tomorrow morning.

Good night. Take care, and thank you.

-Bye. -Bye.

Let’s go.

So, tell me, how's work?

Well, it is what it is. I'm trying my best.

Where is she?

She's inside, and she's not happy with you.

Okay...

You're showing up after everyone's already left.

It's okay.

I know how to get back into her good graces.

She is my best friend, after all.

My, my.

Someone's looking bright-eyed and bushy-tailed today.

How's my favorite girl?

Oh, get off me, you silly goose.

Everyone's already left, and now you decide to show up?

You of all people know I've stopped seeing anyone else but you.

I'm moving to Canada.

I threw a farewell dinner.

All of our friends came, a proper get-together.

Would it have been the end of the world

if you had just come and seen everyone?

You're absolutely right.

But you know they're all our and Ali's mutual friends.

I couldn't bring myself to do it.

You know, Zara, whenever I see them,

it feels like they either look at me with pity...

or they have a million questions in their eyes.

See, this is why I didn't marry a classmate like you did.

At least this way, there's no divvying up the friend group after a divorce.

What are you talking about?

You're my best friend. I still see you, don't I?

Oh, save it.

I'm leaving for good,

and you barely have any time for me.

Alright, I promise.

For as long as you're here, I will come and see you every day.

Now, come on, get me something to eat.

Is there anything left, or did you all finish it?

Just get me a glass of water, will you?

I'm parched.

-Some nice, cold water, please. -Stay parched then.

Get me some water. Come on.

As I was telling you...

Ever since then, Kamran's attitude toward me has completely changed.

Earlier, he used to be very reserved in his manner.

What's going on?

Planning on pulling an all-nighter again?

No. I just have two more letters to send out today.

I thought I'd finish up and then head out.

Okay.

Do you have a ride, or should I drop you home?

No, it's alright. I have my car today.

Oh.

How about lunch tomorrow?

I'm swamped tomorrow.

Then let's do it the day after. I'll ask Rohit to join us as well.

I'm so sorry,

I'm just buried in work this whole week.

Why are you apologizing?

You work for my company.

The more work you do, the better it is for me.

True.

Okay. See you.

Sure.

What happened?

Nothing. Is everything alright?

Of course. Everything's alright.

Anyway, I'll see you tomorrow. Bye.

So, guys, in the last three days,

our company has seen a thirty-five percent profit increase.

We've broken our own five-year record.

Great job, team. Great job.

Well, all credit goes to Sehar.

Sehar, I came today just to congratulate you.

You and your team have done incredible work.

That means a lot. Thank you.

But the credit doesn't belong to me, it goes to all of them.

Especially our designers who created such stunning pieces.

We just figured out the best way to market them.

Online sales have skyrocketed.

And the stores are completely swamped.

Good job, Sehar.

In the past, every success story earned me all the praise.

But this time...

Sehar,

you've run away with all the credit.

Well, Sehar deserves to be in the limelight.

She's worked incredibly hard.

No doubt about that.

Thanks.

Thank you.

I have a small announcement.

Since the company has seen such great profits,

everyone will be receiving a 100% percent bonus with their salary this time.

Alright, congratulations, everyone. Now back to work. Good job.

Okay. Well, Sehar,

I'll be hosting a dinner at my place.

You absolutely have to come.

I will. Thank you so much.

No worries. And good luck with this.

-Thanks. -Take care.

I'm exhausted, guys. I have to head home.

-Let me drop you. -Rest well.

-Thanks. -Bye.

Please. After you.

Take it easy.

Thanks.

Sorry.

It's alright.

The bonus salary email has gone out. You should check it.

Thank you so much.

There's no need. I trust you. Why would I need to check?

I insist, go on and check it.

Okay.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Everyone is going to be thrilled.

And you're not happy?

Of course, I am too.

Thank you.

You know, we're still on for that lunch. So does tomorrow sound good?

I'm a bit tied up around lunchtime.

Can we do brunch instead?

-Okay. -Great.

Rohit will be joining us, won't he?

Yes, of course.

Why wouldn't he be? He'll absolutely be there.

Okay.

I’m so sorry. So, so sorry I'm late.

I was tied up with the visit to our Phase Eight store.

It's okay. Have a seat.

Thank you.

And...

It's okay.

Besides, in this country,

being fifteen to twenty minutes late is practically on time.

Isn't Rohit here?

Um,

he had a last-minute meeting come up.

-Oh, -Yes.

Okay.

So, what's the latest on in-store sales?

They're doing great. It's only the second week,

and the momentum is just as strong.

Brilliant. Just brilliant. That's fantastic.

How's Kiran?

Since she hasn’t been coming to the office, I haven’t been able to meet her.

Her due date's getting close, so she's obviously taking it easy.

I hope everything goes well for her.

You should come over sometime. You can meet Kiran then.

Yes, definitely. I'll visit someday.

Should we order some food?

Yes, I'm starving.

Tell me about it. Excuse me.

So, tell me something.

Is life all work for you, or is there more to it?

For now, it's just work.

Life should get back to normal once the busy season passes.

You live with your parents, right?

It's my mom, my dad, and my younger brother.

So, you're single.

I'm sorry.

That got a little personal.

No, it's okay.

Um...

I'm divorced.
