Original subtitles

I am coming.

I said, I am coming.

Who did this?

Biju, who did this to you, I say?

Outside the hostel...

He was ragging in college for the past two weeks.

The student union secretary.

He is from Jaitley's party.

Their Government is running a mafia in the entire north campus.

Bring the car out,

drop her off at the hostel and quickly bring the doctor.

Yes, sir.

This way.

This doesn't happen with everyone.

This has happened because of you.

I don't want to go to college.

I will study through open university.

Are you crazy, son?

Are you going to stay at home all your life because of your fear of him?

His government is in the center today, tomorrow it will be ours.

So, stop stressing out over it

and calm down.

I'll do something about it.

Hello, Akshay.

The person whom you've been looking for day and night,

he came to see JJ.

He is a living a life of luxury in Meerut.

Thanks to your father.

- Did you send that message? - Huh?

Why are you giving me this?

Why not?

They say, enemy's enemy is a friend

Lieutenant Governor Ma'am,

Neither am I your friend,

nor is JJ my foe.

It was my desire to deliver this to you.

This contains all the sordid details of JJ and Randeep's deeds.

Whether you wish to do anything with this or not,

is your decision.

JJ is an ailment

that can't be cured with any kind of drug.

So, the District court rejected it...

Yes, your Lordship, but...

My Lord, the District has rejected it

and the Supreme court's standing on this matter is clear.

Only because you are a senior lawyer, go ahead.

Your Lordship, my client Nikhil Mehra is not the first person

who is petitioning in court for active euthanasia.

He won't be the last person either.

- Active euthanasia... - Objection, my Lord.

Murder!

Mr. Puneet,

can we first hear what she has to say?

Thank you, your Lordship.

Several courts in the world, on a case to case basis,

are considering active euthanasia

- For humanity... - I'm sorry, my Lord,

but there's absolutely no humanity in suicide.

This is a demand for medically assisted murder.

Objection, your Lordship!

A child is begging this court for humanity

and he is calling it suicide.

Passive euthanasia is legal.

Active euthanasia is heard case by case...

Objection, my Lord.

I think we are all aware, even this honorable court

cannot authorize murder on a case by case basis.

How can you call a necessary procedure a 'murder'?

From your moral high ground, can you even see this child's suffering?

His father, himself, is making a petition to this court against...

- Your revolting media grabbing habit... - Objection!

If you're here to fight each other,

divorces cases are heard in family court, two kilometers from here.

You are here with a sensitive matter.

Treat it as such, please.

A 23 year old youth,

after great introspection, is asking for permission to die.

I am 62 years old,

but I still want to live life to the fullest,

even if I have to depend on medicines.

Your Lordship, in Nikhil's case medicines are ineffective.

I understand, Ms. Niharika.

There are two sides to every story.

Tell me.

Your Lordship, my client Nikhil Mehra was merely 13 years old

when he was selected as the captain of his cricket team.

At the age of 15, at Talkatora stadium,

he won the national skating championship.

At 17 years, he returned from the Stok Kangri trek for the first time.

At 19, he was diagnosed with MS. Multiple Sclerosis.

Most therapies stopped working on him at the age of 20.

At the age of 21,

he was told his MS is primary progressive.

At 22, he received this wheelchair as his birthday gift.

23 years. He is merely 23 years old.

Forget about mountain climbing and cricket,

He can't even wear his clothes by himself.

His body doesn't intimate him when he's needs to go to the bathroom.

Everyday, for atleast 2-3 hours, he suffers from seizures.

Painful seizures.

Like someone is breaking his bones.

It takes him 5-6 hours to recover.

23. He is 23 years old today,

and the drugs have stopped having any effect on him.

What do you want from him now?

That his hands and mouth should stop working.

He can eat on his own now.

He can express he is in pain.

In future, he might not even be able to say that.

The cause of this ailment?

Honestly, even the doctors don't have an answer for that.

Treatment?

DMTs. Disease Modifying Therapies.

but in Nikhil's case even those aren't working.

And the 'Mad Lawyer' strikes again.

- Mr. Tandon. - I'm sorry, my Lord,

but my friend here is narrating a very misleading and one-sided story.

I concur that Disease Modifying Therapies aren't working in Nikhil Mehra's case.

but the three year timeline that Ms. Niharika has relayed to you,

from good times to hell is incorrect.

If you look at Nikhil Mehra's medical case history,

then I concede that there are many downs

but there are some ups too.

There are times when his health has improved,

which is why the doctors have said, keep the faith.

My Lord, the maximum number of these cases are found in America.

They come up with a new therapy every other day.

Hope exists, my Lord,

else every person who suffers from primary progressive MS

will knock on the doors of this honorable court,

- demanding euthanasia. - In Nikhil's case,

there is no hope for recovery.

Nothing but pain.

A child who loved life infinitely is begging to be free

of life and sheer pain.

Clearly, both of you want the court to look into this matter emotionally.

I want to listen to the experts.

Call the Magistrate,

and the testimony on this matter will be taken here in High Court.

Thank you, my Lord.

There is no cure but we manage the symptoms using several therapies.

Many of my patients are on Corticosteroids and they are responding...

With better lifestyle, diet and stress management,

many of them are living close to normal lives.

Dr. Bharti, will these therapies help in Nikhil Mehra's case?

There are no guarantees in medical science

but there are continual medical advances.

Maybe a new therapy or medicine will work in this specific case.

Thank you, Doctor. Manpreet.

Point to be noted, my Lord,

the situation which appears helpless today

What is this, Mr. Tandon?

This is the report of a drug trial,

My Lordship, from New York.

And if you allow me, I'd like to refer to my notes.

This drug is called

Ublituximab.

With the help of this,

MS's yearly relapse rate has fallen to 0.08 percent.

Nikhil Mehra's father, Mr. Harish,

too has reserved a spot for Nikhil in Bangalore, for one such trial.

Objection, your Lordship.

Nikhil has already endured four such experimental trials.

With no results.

And the drugs these days have no effect on him.

No reputed institute is running experimental trials for his type.

My Lord, new drugs are made after experimental trials

but let's keep scientific methods away

because how will she gain publicity without a televised murder.

- Objection, Your Lordship! - Mr. Tandon!

Withdrawn, my Lord. Your witness.

Dr. Bharti, since how many years have you been treating

primary progressive MS patients?

Approximately 15 years.

Okay. So, long time.

And how many of your patients have been completely cured?

None.

There is no cure but quite a few of them are living

a life close to normal.

And was any of those cases as aggressive as Nikhil's?

No.

Okay.

Let's talk about hope.

A hope for a normal life.

According to you, what is the percentage of him having a normal life?

Ten percent, five percent or one percent?

I cannot say, as this case is unique.

It is so unique that nobody is even researching his type, right?

No.

Well, there you go, Lordship.

No drug exists and there is no hope of a drug being made.

There is only one guarantee,

that this child will undergo unbearable pain,

not in the next few years, rather in the next few months.

Objection, my Lord.

Is the council taking a testimony or giving one?

Overruled.

Your Lordship, countries like such as Columbia, Belgium, Spain and Netherlands

have legalized active euthanasia.

But, your honor, we don't not live in Columbia, Belgium,

Netherlands or Spain. We live in India,

where euthanasia is still considered a crime.

It is regarded as murder.

So what are we supposed to do, Puneet. Not even try to improve?

Ms. Niharika, you got your media bite.

The law must evolve, says Niharika Singh.

Job over. Let's go home.

- Objection my lord. - Why are you playing with this kid’s life?

- Council is crossing the limit. - Go take on a corporate client.

Thats it!

Silence!

I've had enough!

The next hearing will be one week from now.

And you two will behave professionally at that hearing.

Your Lordship, Nikhil's condition is extremely...

Next hearing is next week, Ms. Niharika.

Would you prefer a date one month from now?

I'm sorry.

Do you know that the tea in our canteen is Delhi's world famous tea.

- Really? - You have to try it.

Shanaya and I live on that tea.

It's here.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Try it, Nikhil. The tea is good.

I'll be better off without it, Mom.

Who knows when and where we might have a repeat show?

It will increase your work.

The court will take time.

You'll have to wait a long time, Nikhil.

I am not occupied with anything else.

Unless you want to risk one date.

I promise it will be a very short relationship.

No strings attached.

I have many strings attached with you.

See you.

Okay.

- I'll see you aunty. - Okay.

Bye, aunty.

Bye, Nikhil.

Ma'am.

What are the chances of winning?

Zero chances in court. Maybe an emotional spin might work.

Puneet.

Look. I am going to the hospital.

20 weeks are up. I'm happy.

I....

I don't want to deal with your vibe right now.

Sorry...

Dr. Jhanvi?

Jhanvi?

Just f***** say it.

Dr. Sulekha.

It's...

It's lissencephaly.

Sue, I'm so, so sorry.

I just...

I just have to recommend...

Abortion.

What? No, Sue...

- I'm sorry but fetus... - Our child!

Puneet.

Puneet,

the fetus' brain hasn't developed at all.

There will be severe neuro development issues.

Best case, life expectancy, ten years.

And that too...

Dr. Jhanvi.

Are you sure?

Yes.

There must be some kind of treatment, doctor.

There isn't.

These are from the night of the Police complaint?

Yes, your honor. It was a private party in the film industry.

Even Amit Deol came from Mumbai.

Invites only.

Even the media wasn't allowed.

- There was no mark on Atisha's face. - Objection, your honor.

These photographs weren't shared with the defense.

Yes, your honor, but we only found out yesterday morning, so...

- Objection, your honor. - Hold on. Hold on.

Move back. Move back.

Give them a finger and they grab your hand.

Photographs like these are fabricated on a daily basis, your honor.

How do we know if they are authentic and not doctored

It took time to confirm the authenticity, your honor.

Ms. Zoya can get the forensics done herself if she wishes too

and ask for a continuance.

Makeup!

I hid the marks using makeup.

This is a courtroom, not a film set.

Please control your client.

Ofcourse...

There you go, your honor.

The explanation is simple.

My client used to be a famous actress.

Her makeup artist has concealed such marks in the past for her films.

Ms. Niharika?

Makeup can do wonders, your honor.

That is true.

I would like to call Dr. Subhash Khosla to the stand, your honor.

Objection, your honor. Who is he?

He is not on the witness list.

She claimed that it was concealed with makeup.

He is a forensics expert.

Director of Forensic institute, New Delhi.

From the past 25 years,

he's been consulting Delhi Police and major Companies.

And he has authenticated these pictures.

Objection, your honor.

- Still, he is not on the witness list. - Cool down.

You made a claim, this is the possible counter,

so I'm going to allow it.

Ms. Niharika, I have loosened the rope. Please don't hang me with it.

Thank you, your honor. Dr. Khosla.

Shanaya.

Dr. Khosla, did you and your team inspect these photos?

Yes.

- Authentic? - Yes.

And,

sir, this is exhibit GCA 2002/2014.

You have the images. We've simply blown them up.

- Right. - And have you inspected these images?

Yes, I have.

Authentic?

They aren't altered.

I think Ms. Niharika is only wasting the court's time, your honor.

Ms. Niharika, if you have a point to make...

Yes, your honor.

Doctor, my question to you was, authentic

and you're response was, 'It is not altered.'

- Is something else altered? - Yes.

Will you please explain that in detail?

I conducted forensics on these photos, Ms. Niharika.

Look at the mark under the eye.

It’s a little darker and dry.

If you go to see,

The job is done very beautifully.

Only a mistake was made in merging of the skin tone.

They have used prosthetic material, which is usually used in films.

The bruises are not hidden, but are made with make up.

Point to be noted, your honor.

Those marks weren't concealed with makeup.

They are made using makeup.

I must say, her makeup artist is quite competent.

Hats off!

She fooled both, the Delhi Police and the media.

There was no beating and yet my client spent two nights in jail.

Well, I must say,

she is building a mountain of lies.

Ms. Atisha is an amazing actress!

We can consult another doctor.

She's young. She is inexperienced.

I'm sure this is not the world's first case of...

This licenso...

Whatever the f*** it is.

- Relax. Please relax Sue, I'll look for another doctor. - I am relaxed.

I have made my decision.

Good! Because some other doctor might...

I am aborting this pregnancy, Puneet.

What?

Have you lost your mind, Sue? This is our child.

What is wrong with you?

The reports are in front of us.

It clearly states the child won't make it past ten years.

And those ten years will be full of pain.

I wouldn't take this chance if there was even one percent probability.

Just don't make this an emotional decision.

It is very simple.

I cannot give birth to this child,

just to make it suffer.

- That's it. - That's damn f****** selfish!

- What? - Nothing.

Listen. Stop the car, Sue. Stop the car.

- Sue, stop the f****** car! - F***

What is it, Sonam?

F***!

I'm coming.

F***!

Why have you shown up today, Mr. CM?

Kumar Gandharv is a legend.

If you show up so often, people will think

that the Public Prosecutor is the CM's puppet.

No, that's not the only thing.

In today's day and age, people might think you're my lover.

Right?

Any news on Ankush?

I was looking for him out there, Mr. Om Prakash

but you summoned me here.

Apparently Niharika has kept Puneet's mind occupied elsewhere.

- Right? - No, sir.

I am occupied only with my own cases.

But if you aren't pleased, I'm happy to quit.

- Hey.

You've started to take yourself way too seriously.

Well, fine!

Anyway, today's breaking news is that Atisha Mewani Rathore's lawyer

is also working for us.

Maybe you're forgetting.

Jaitley and Associates isn't yours anymore.

Oh Puneet!

Yes.

How does it matter?

Something that belonged to me yesterday belongs to someone else today.

The point is, Puneet,

Everything is temporary.

The question is, what did you gain and what did you loose.

And now you have...

the trump card!

Atisha's lawyer, Zoya, has confirmed it.

Dushyant paid Ankush for that false media statement.

And I bet your female friend knows this. Right?

- Niharika... - Would not do that?

I envy your innocence.

Either you were misleading the court and the Police, Ms. Ahmed,

or your client was misleading us all.

I don't know what it is but under both circumstances,

it is your responsibility.

I just need a little time to talk to my client, your honor.

Objection, your honor.

Now that she is cornered, she wants continuance.

Your honor, Ms. Niharika tries to sensationalize everything.

Her photos.

Her experts.

I deserve a chance to prepare my cross questioning

and to talk to my client.

Okay. How much time?

Well, I'm willing to let go the continuance appeal, your honor,

but it would take anyone time

- to justify such a big lie. - Objection.

- Objection, your honor! - To what?

- We never planned on lying. - Your client is the one who told the lie.

Withdrawn, your honor.

I have only one request.

The next hearing should be public and the media should be allowed.

Else she and her client will use her 15 million followers

- to spread their lies through the world. - Yes, yes, I got that.

This case won't be heard behind closed doors.

I am allowing the print media in court.

And, Ms. Niharika,

I am giving you and your client permission

to speak with the media.

Twenty-second. The next date will be the 22nd.

Ms. Ahmed, please try not to waste the court's time with your client's fake stories

else there will only be one decision no matter what the facts are.

What the f*** was that?

Are you insane?

F***! I made a mistake.

I thought he actually hit you!

- Of course, he did. - Don't lie!

I don't believe a single word that is coming out of your mouth anymore!

Perjury.

Your crime is called perjury.

You will be jailed for lying to the court

and the Bar council will cancel my license.

You're a very good actress

but I'm done.

I doubt that he ever laid a hand on you.

F***! I made a mistake.

Please. Do you really think that?

You really think I'd go this far if he hadn't done it?

Huh? Tell me, Zoya.

This began within one week of our marriage.

It just didn't happen on that day.

I went.

I tried to make it happen.

But he was careful.

That night... was the first time he did not lay a hand on me.

Ramni, who concealed my bruises for years,

I told him to make them this time.

I thought it would speed up the process.

I f***** up. I'm sorry.

God damn it!

I'm so sorry.

I don't know if I should believe you...

For now,

I am choosing to

but one more lie and I am done!

Okay.

Deal.

If he's done it before...

there must be someone.

What?

My school in Meerut was 26 kilometers away.

This isn't much. Hello.

What is the motive behind your march?

One who enjoys the journey doesn't ask about the destination.

Take this.

I've set out with a bouquet of flowers for the Lieutenant Governor.

You see that?

So, you're going to personally ask the Lieutenant Governor

for a CBI enquiry.

The CBI enquiry will be just the beginning.

Okay, okay, okay. Okay, okay.

The CBI enquiry will be just the beginning.

This matter will go up to the ED.

And I am confident she will act in favor of Delhi.

Hello. How are you?

As you can see, Janardhan Jaitley, Delhi's Chief Minister

is walking to the Lieutenant Governor's office.

His intention is to solve the tension between State and Center amicably.

Wonderful!

Oh!

I am an environmentalist, Madam Governor.

I request you to replace this plastic straw with a paper straw

or metal straw.

- If you wish... - JJ.

What do you want?

Well, let's share the spoils.

My proposal is very simple.

I will quit demanding the CBI enquiry

and you denotify the IDPs land.

This is what you call sharing the spoils?

The denotified land will be in your possession.

Our possession.

That is to say in possession of the Delhi Government.

I don't understand why you're risking your post for a man like Dushyant Rathore.

He has connections with the PM.

I thought he was God.

The Government wheels are moving.

It will take time to stop them.

Take all the time you want

but the answer should be affirmative.

Lovely!

The joy of drinking out of a paper straw!

- OP. - Yes, sir.

How is Lankhan Mandal doing?

- Sir, we've got him oscillating between problems. - Good job.

Hello! Will Akshay sir be joining?

He'll be here in 5-10 minutes.

Hello Sheikh, where is Randeep?

Yes. Yes. Hello?

Hello, this is Akshay Jaitley.

I know he is in Meerut.

No? Exactly where is he?

Are you sure?

Randeep!

Hello.

Hello. I am looking for Randeep.

Where is Randeep? This is Akshay Jaitley.

I am looking for Randeep.

Who is Randeep?! What?

Are you serious?

You are asleep here

while I've been waiting for you at the restaurant?

Akshay, what's the matter?

Are you okay?

Shall I call the doctor?

Tell me. Maybe I can do something.

Nobody can do anything.

My mother's killer is roaming free in Meerut

and JJ is protecting him.

Akshay?

I thought I was over it.

I am sinking into that quicksand again.

- Help me. - I'm here.

I am with you.

We can leave all this behind.

Even the last time you went looking for Randeep...

But I know where he is now. How do I stop myself now?

How... how can I stop myself?

It's all in your past. We have to move forward.

This is not good for your mental health.

But if not this then what?!

JJ is roaming free.

He's f****** mocking me! He's mocking me!

Look at me. I got you.

I am with you.

I am with you. Come here.

Come here.

I got you. I got you.

We have to leave it all behind, Akshay.

We have to move forward.

We gotta start afresh.

I got you.

You're gonna be fine.

We're gonna be fine.

Yes, Dil.

Ma'am, I won't be coming to office today. I am following Rocky.

Rocky? You mean Atisha's bodyguard?

Yes. I'll let you know by tonight.

Sure. Tonight. Okay.

If anything suspicious is found, will you come?

No, I'm busy with the Nikhil Mehra case.

Okay will update you tomorrow then.

Yes. Okay.

Akshay?

Sorry.

I've had tea.

This is better.

What will we have after this?

An amazing joint.

Cheers!

Whoa!

Tell me something.

Your dad doesn't listen to anyone.

How does your mom live with him?

I think even my mom smokes up secretly.

Okay, now my turn.

Shoot.

Why did you take up my case?

- For you. - Lies!

You took it for publicity.

Nikhil...

...that is the reason we selected you.

And now I know that you care for me.

Only a few months are remaining...

why don't you spend your time with you family? why do you want to spend time in court?

I don't want to be a burden for them.

- You are not a burden. - I am.

I am, Niharika. I am a burden.

I would be to anyone.

Just because my parents don't say it,

does not mean that I am not a burden on them.

And it's not that I am not afraid of death.

I am petrified.

I am petrified with the idea of death,

but I am not suicidal.

I wish to die with dignity.

The pain that I'm feeling

and the pain I'll suffer in the near future,

I know I will lay on the bed like a vegetable.

I won't be able to do a thing. I won't be able to move.

Even now I am unable to think. My brain doesn't function.

I cannot think of anything except

pain and death, pain and death.

If I don't have pain, when will I feel it?

If I am feeling pain, how much worse will it get?

This is the only thing that goes on in my head.

I used to distract myself earlier,

by playing games or watching something.

I am unable to do any of that now.

Every minute or so...

Every minute or so,

the same thought comes to mind. Time and time again.

The same thought comes to my mind repeatedly.

When will I die?

Will I die today or will I die tomorrow?

The concept of pain and death is not theoretical in my life.

I don't have a happily ever after in my life either.

How long will I live?

The little life that is left is wrecking my parents' lives.

So, please, please.

A little for their sakes but primarily for me.

For me. Please. You have to win.

Because I want to get out of this. I need out.

I'm done. I want to go.

Hey.

I can't live like this, Niharika.

Nikhil.

Please.

Please.

'You have to win. You have to win.'

'Please.'
