For the next hearing, the investigating officer,

Inspector Shafiq, will testify and be subject to cross-examination.

Additionally, we will record the statement of the accused, Kamran, under Section 342.

This court is adjourned until the next hearing.

Set a convenient date for them next week.

All rise.

I'm aware you all put in a tremendous amount of work with Sehar last season.

Because of that, KKR's relationship with its customers has grown stronger,

and we've established a great deal of trust in our brand.

Therefore, I intend to work alongside you all to be an asset to this company.

So, no changes.

You will all carry on in the same capacity, exactly as you did with Sehar.

Unfortunately,

due to the current situation, the KKR brand has taken a significant hit.

But our focus will be on ensuring that sales aren't heavily impacted.

Don't you worry, sir.

Thank you.

Sir, we'll make sure it's done exactly as you say.

I appreciate it. Thank you.

That's all for now. You can get back to your work.

I have made a promise to myself, Sehar,

and now I will fulfill this promise no matter what.

Wait for me outside.

Well, you can consider this case all but won.

It's time to arrange for a celebration.

Order some sweets.

With the magic you're working in the courtroom...

part of me wishes this case would never end.

Well, as long as the checks keep coming,

I'll keep working my magic,

and the case can go on as long as you like.

Was all of that really necessary in court?

And frankly, the way Sehar's parents were treated...

I wasn't comfortable with it at all.

Seriously?

After everything Sehar did to me,

you're still concerned about her?

Anyway, I'll see you in the car.

Goodbye.

What were you saying?

I was just thinking...

husbands and wives are all cut from the same cloth, aren't they?

What's that supposed to mean?

Ah, about the case.

Right.

Inspector Shafiq's testimony and cross-examination are pivotal.

After that, the case is essentially a slam dunk.

All that's left is your Section 342 statement.

That part is hardly significant.

The judge will ask a few questions,

and when it comes to giving answers, you're a master.

Mr. Bukhari, I've been thinking...

instead of the Section 342 statement...

what if I give a sworn testimony under Section 340?

What?

Yes. Look, I'm going to win this case one way or another.

I’ll earn some praise,

Kiran will trust me,

and my reputation will be mended.

Kamran, I think you've drastically forgotten

that this would give Ms. Beenish the right to cross-examine you.

And what makes you think I can't handle Beenish's questions?

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

It's not that she's some legal genius who could trip you up.

But listen...

right now, the case is in our control. It's in the palm of our hands.

We can't afford a single misstep.

Otherwise, it could create a snowball effect,

and the damage would be substantial.

Listen, listen.

I think you're worrying for nothing.

I...

let me worry.

In fact, if you ask me, a little fear would do you good, too.

It's called being prudent.

Now, if you want to do something genuinely useful...

stick close to Rohit, get into his head,

and keep him as far away from his wife as possible.

Even without a single witness, we have a solid case.

But mind it.

The court can summon anyone to the stand.

This is far from over, my dear friend.

So, you stick to your job, and let me handle mine.

Alright? Let's go.

I'm so sorry, Sister.

I really tried to keep my cool,

but that scumbag's questions were just vile.

Are you alright?

Yes.

Today was a complete disaster.

We just couldn't get a handle on the situation.

That's not true at all.

Nothing's fallen apart.

Setbacks like this are common.

Saad should've held his temper, though.

My only concern is that the judge might get irritated

and hold it against us.

But otherwise, this was to be expected.

The real fight starts now.

So, what's next?

Kamran's witnesses will dictate our next move.

And if Rohit testifies on your behalf,

we'll have the case pretty much in the bag.

Let's just hope for the best.

Everything will be fine.

So, you were a no-show in court again today, huh?

Ditched your own brother.

Honestly, with the way your lawyer is performing in court,

do you even need anyone else?

I didn't file the case, Sehar did.

And I'm not the one feeding lines to Bukhari,

he comes up with those questions on his own.

So, you're the one calling the shots on how this case is fought, right?

I'm not calling the shots on anything.

All I did was to hire a top-notch lawyer and pay him whatever it takes.

And I did.

Because I have to win this case.

If I lose,

I lose everything.

Right.

What do you mean by “Right?”

Just talk to me.

Tell me, are you on my side or not?

Being on your side doesn't mean

I have to stand by while lies are being spouted in court.

I'm not just going to sit there and enjoy the show, Kamran.

You should've been there today.

The look on Sehar and her family's faces... absolutely priceless.

It made my day.

So now you're just ignoring me.

Just leave, man. Go back to work.

Go and gloat in your office by yourself.

I've got to work late tonight anyway.

Why?

-Got a big order to fill? -No, there's no order.

I just can't bring myself to face my own wife, and that's on you.

I'll wait until she's asleep, then I'll head home.

Sorry, bro. Sorry.

Spare me the drama.

I know for a fact that the only person you care about is yourself.

Dude, Rohit, why are you...

Sir, I need your signature on these.

Ali, what is this?

You knock before you enter.

This is your boss's office, for crying out loud.

I'm so sorry, sir.

It's okay. Give them here.

Thank you, sir.

Apologies again, sir.

Sehar, you borrowed money from Ali?

What choice did I have?

The landlord was giving Dad a hard time.

Well, at least that's sorted.

Now you can finally focus on your case.

I took the money, Zara, but I'm terrified.

I just hope Kamran's lawyer doesn't turn this into something ugly.

What could he possibly turn it into?

Those people are just looking for any excuse

they can find to drag my name through the mud, and that's it.

Well, have you asked your lawyer?

Can he really do something like that?

She said it's fairly standard procedure in cases like these.

It happens.

We'll just have to see what comes next.

Is your lawyer any good?

She's dedicated.

And from what I've seen,

the only thing that can beat a big name is a bigger dedication.

I really hope so.

This whole ordeal has you worn out, hasn't it?

I'm not worn out...

I'm just getting used to the pain.

Just stay strong. This too shall pass.

Anyway, enough about me. How have you been?

How's life?

It's all good.

Abbas is really happy here.

He has tons of friends.

I'm the one who's still struggling to settle in.

Why?

You don't like Canada?

No... I do.

I love it here.

But you know what a social butterfly I was back in Pakistan.

I had so many friends there.

Here, I have no one.

Hey, Brother Saad.

Why don't you ever come hang out with us?

Have a chat sometime.

My exams are coming up.

I really don't have the time for that.

Wow, just wow.

You've got exams at the university,

and a whole different kind of trial at home, right?

What's that supposed to mean?

He’s saying that,

since you have exams at university,

the atmosphere at home must be just as tense.

Hey, Saad, listen...

And how is Sister Sehar doing? Is she okay?

What did you just say?

I'm just asking...

is she doing alright?

Listen. You're no friend of mine.

Just because we greet each other in the building doesn't give you the right

to say whatever pops into your head.

Oh, I haven't even started saying what's truly on my mind.

And trust me, if I do...

you'll really lose your cool.

Send our regards to Sister Sehar.

And tell her she should try speaking the truth for a change.

How dare you talk such nonsense about my sister? Speak up!

-Let go of me! -Hey, let him go!

-How dare you say her name, huh? -Zara, hang on a second...

Speak up! How dare you say my sister's name, huh?

-Saad, stop it! Saad, calm down! -I won't spare you! I'll kill you!

-Saad, stop it! Stop fighting, you two! -Let go of me. I'll finish him right now.

-Zara, I'll call you back. -Hey, this is no place to fight.

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad, there's a fight downstairs involving Saad!

Oh, my God.

Coffee?

Thanks.

You stayed out late last night just so you wouldn't have to face me, didn't you?

Yes.

Rohit, do you really think

I would throw away our relationship,

our entire home life, for some stranger?

I wish you would just come to court and see for yourself

what Kamran's lawyer is putting Sehar and her family through.

Maybe then you'd understand.

I'm just doing my job, Rohit.

But you're the only one who can save Sehar and her family from this hell.

And remember this, Rohit...

whatever happens to them from here on out...

that's on you.

I want you to remember that.

You've already grilled Sehar's family and pretty much won the case.

So, what's the point of questioning me, Mr. Bukhari?

He's a rare breed.

An inspector whose attitude reflects the compassion his name stands for.

What?

Exactly what I said.

Believe me,

when it comes to this cross-examination, it's not my questions that interest me.

It's your answers I'm after, Inspector.

Mr. Bukhari...

you're not going to do to me what you did to Sehar's family, are you?

Oh, that?

Oh yes, that!

Well, in court, I'll have to.

What a spectacle that will be.

Seriously.

It won't be a cross-examination between a lawyer and a witness.

It'll be more of an acting competition.

That's going to be some scene.

The Bukhari-Shafiq Show.

You'll be testifying under oath for Section 345 as well,

so you'd better start preparing.

I'm ready to testify under oath, Inspector.

I'm more than ready to face Sehar's lawyer and her questions.

But Mr. Bukhari isn't on board.

But...

But...

you don't need to worry about my employees.

Mr. Bukhari has prepped them extremely well.

What do you mean, prepped them?

The case is already in our favor.

Beenish doesn't have a shred of evidence.

There's nothing she can get out of your employees.

We're in the clear.

I say we plan a little celebration during the day.

-Really? -Yes.

Yes, yes. It'll only take five minutes. Everything will be arranged.

No, that's not what I meant…

No, no. Seriously.

Abrar.

Yes, madam?

Come inside, quickly.

-Yes, madam? -Sit down.

You went to Kandiaro for your friend's wedding, didn't you?

Uh, there's a village near Kandiaro called Tharu Shah.

I went there, madam.

This... Look here.

This is Kamran's servant, Mureed.

He's also from Kandiaro.

I need you to find out everything you can about him.

Alright, madam. I'll ask my friend to look into it.

Just give me his address and details.

No, don't ask your friend. You need to go there yourself.

This is his address.

Catch the next bus and leave now.

Right now?

I need this information as soon as possible, Abrar.

Madam, it's a seven-hour journey, and it's almost dark.

Even if I get a ride now, I won't reach there before morning.

But I'll do my best to get you all the details.

Just leave quickly.

Here, take some money.

No, madam, I've got money on me.

Just take it. Here you go.

Thank you, madam.

I'll be on my way.

Mureed, why are you so worried?

You just have to testify in court.

I just don't know what's going to happen in court tomorrow.

What if they prove I'm a liar...

Look, if you don't even believe your own story,

how are you going to sell it as the truth?

You have to at least believe your own lie, my brother.

A lie is still a lie.

It'll always be a lie, won't it, Dilawar?

One by one, we'll all get what's coming to us.

We took money from Mr. Kamran, so we have to see this through.

Hey, why are you panicking?

Worrying about it won't fix anything.

And with that expression, they'll see right through you in a minute.

Well, it's the only face I've got, Farzana.

Then for heaven's sake, just for one day, try to look the part.

You all find this hilarious, don't you?

I have a court appearance tomorrow.

God knows what's going to happen.

The medical examiner's report clearly states

that forensics found no evidence against my client.

So why didn't your investigation conclude that this FIR was baseless?

Well, I conducted an honest investigation.

Deciding right from wrong is the court's job.

At any point during your investigation, did it seem to you

that Ms. Sehar's accusation might be true?

Judging by her demeanor when she came to file the report...

I had no reason to doubt her.

Showing you just enough to believe,

while concealing her ulterior motive.

So why didn't you just state that the allegation was false?

Well...

during the course of the investigation...

There was one thing that didn't quite add up.

We're all trying to make sense of things here.

Please, enlighten us as to what didn't quite add up.

Simply this...

why did she wait six days to file the FIR?

There was no valid reason for such a delay.

And she had no witness either.

Yes, there was no witness,

but it is the duty of the police to provide justice to the public.

The public isn't just one person, Inspector.

The word implies many. So, what about my client?

Is he not part of the public?

Well, he's a very successful businessman.

So, because a man works hard and becomes a successful businessman,

he forfeits his right to justice?

Does his success mean you can strip him of his rights?

Was being a success such a monumental crime

that you would file this report without a single shred of evidence?

Yes...

that is essentially what happened.

A point to be noted, Your Honor.

Now, Inspector, would you care to explain

why Ms. Sehar named my client's friend, Mr. Rohit,

as her primary witness...

yet you failed to include him on the prosecution's witness list?

Mr. Rohit refuted Ms. Sehar's claims.

Given that, how could we list him as a prosecution witness?

One moment, please. Let me get this straight.

The very person Ms. Sehar put forward as her primary witness

is the same person who discredited her allegation.

Mr. Rohit is a friend as well as a business partner of Mr. Kamran.

If he were to give a statement favoring the accused,

it would naturally cast suspicion, wouldn't it?

And you are the investigating officer... the I.O.

Tell me, during your investigation,

did you find even one piece of evidence to suggest that Mr. Rohit was lying?

Not at all. No such evidence was found.

A point to be noted, Your Honor.

You shower the other side with flowers and fruit...

but for us, you only offer thorns.

Pardon?

Yes...

Never mind.

In her statement, Ms. Sehar also claimed

that there were no servants at home on the night of the incident.

So, did any of my client's servants confirm this?

No. No one confirmed it.

Yet despite all this, you still didn't clear my client?

They work for the accused, Kamran.

They were obviously going to testify in his favor,

so that alone was grounds for suspicion.

So what's the big deal?

You know what they say, the proof of the pudding is in the eating.

What era are we living in, Inspector?

A person's exact location can be traced through their phone's location data.

You must have retrieved their CDR to find that out, didn't you?

Yes, we did, and all the details have been submitted to the court.

Mureed, Maqsood, Farzana, and Dilawar.

Those are the servants' names?

Yes.

Those are the names.

Very well. You're confirming them.

Then you'll also have to confirm that,

according to the CDR report you submitted,

all four employees had the same phone location.

Your Honor.

Similarly, Mr. Kamran, Mr. Rohit, and Miss Sehar

also had the same mobile location.

Meaning, this record shows

that all these people were present in the same place at the same time.

This all proves that Ms. Sehar's accusation was a lie.

But Inspector Shafiq and his team

deliberately tried to benefit Ms. Sehar, didn't you?

Counselor!

A CDR report gives a location based on the nearest mobile tower.

While that might prove that these people were in the same general area,

it doesn't prove that they were all present inside the accused Kamran's house.

So of course, that's suspicious, right?

Suspicious?

The benefit of the doubt is given to the accused,

not the accuser, Inspector!

Look, Your Honor.

My client is a respected citizen

and a renowned businessman.

Not only his friends, but his servants...

have refuted Ms. Sehar’s baseless allegations.

But...

instead of giving my client a clean slate,

the police sided with Ms. Sehar’s accusations.

This isn't justice.

We want justice to prevail, not to be denied.

That's all, Your Honor.

All the prosecution's witness statements

and cross-examinations are complete.

Is the accused, Kamran,

prepared to record his statement under Section 342?

Yes, Your Honor. My client, Kamran Haider,

is ready to give his statement.

Alright.

The statement will be recorded after the tea break.

All rise.

The one part of the story that went unmentioned...

that's the part that really struck a nerve.

Teamwork.

Hello?

Where are you, Abrar?

Madam, I've reached Mureed's village.

Have you found out anything?

I'm trying my best.

I have all the details on Mureed's family.

I'm on my way to his house now.

What have you found out?

Madam, so far I know that Mureed has two sisters and a younger brother.

They all live with their parents in the same house.

And he has a wife and two children.

Do you have anything I can actually use in court?

Yes, Madam.

I've also found out that Mureed sends money to cover all the family's expenses.

With all this information,

I can’t do anything that’ll hold up in court, Abrar.

I need something better.

Madam, I'm trying my best.

Just give me a bit more time. I'm heading to his house right now.

I'm on a deadline here.

Call me as soon as you have something.

Will do, Madam. I'll call you shortly.

So, Ali?

Found your footing yet? All settled in?

Yes, sir.

Everyone is extremely professional and accommodating.

Well, you have the best team, hands down.

This year's sales figures were outstanding.

Yes, sir.

It's all thanks to Sehar's team.

Of course.

It's all thanks to Sehar's team.

Ali, excuse me, please.

What is it?

Yeah, where are you right now?

I'm at the office, where else would I be?

What do you mean you're at the office?

Why aren't you at the courthouse yet?

Because I'm busy.

I have to give my statement under Section 342 in a while.

And if you don't show up, I'll never forgive you for this.

You're just going to lie on the stand anyway, aren't you?

What do you need me for?

Are you done with the smart remarks?

Had your fun taking cheap shots?

Now, just get to the courthouse.

Otherwise, I swear, we're done. I won't ever speak to you again.

Is that a threat?

Perhaps.

Call it what you want.

Just take it seriously.

I'm in an important meeting at the office.

I have work to do here.

Someone has to run this company, or should I just shut the whole thing down?

Rohit, work can wait.

Just get to the courthouse.

-Is everything alright? -Yes, everything is fine.

Where is Rohit, Manisha?

Where else would he be?

He must be at the office.

He's a no-show in court again today.

What's that supposed to mean?

Honestly, Beenish, I have no idea.

I just can't seem to figure him out these days.

Don't you worry.

Justice will be served in the end.

There must be some good that comes out of this.

Let's hope so.

Sir, is everything okay?

Ali, I'm terribly sorry, but something's come up.

Can we pick this up later?

But sir, I need to finalize this plan for the client.

I can't move forward without your sign-off.

Alright, fine. Let’s just make it quick, then.

I’m afraid it will take some time, sir.

This requires a detailed discussion.

Your Honor, my client is ready to give his statement.

You may proceed, Kamran.

Your Honor, the entire truth of this case is already out in the open.

The police investigation, the witness testimonies,

the evidence… it all proves my innocence.

Your Honor, my only crime is that I haven’t committed one.

However, Ms. Sehar alleges that she is the victim in this matter.

That is a false accusation, Your Honor.

In this case, I’m the victim, not Sehar.

She simply has a victim complex.
