Original subtitles

Are you calling me a hypocrite?

I'm so sick of this damn word…

"System."

We always have a say in what we choose to do.

Always.

Privileged people like you flying around in private jets can say that, Ishi.

The common man doesn't have the luxury of choices.

As a journalist, you too were part of the system, Saiba.

Despite which you courageously pointed out the corruption within.

And then, you just gave it all up.

You said, "I can't make a difference." And you quit.

Well, I'm sorry, but who the hell gave you the right

to question the choices that I've made in my life?

That's what I'm asking you as well, Saiba.

Do you have an answer?

Shall I apologize to her?

I've never seen you do that before.

That's true.

But I've requested friends to apologize on my behalf.

She is sorry.

And you are?

Are you her spokesperson? Or her secretary.

-She's genuinely reaching out. -Really, hasn't reached me yet.

45 minutes to our destination--

Men!

Did you and your friends have one too many last night?

Why have you come an hour early?

How ungrateful.

You asked me for a favor, and now you're throwing me attitude.

Well…

even your favors have a hefty price.

Did my friends see you?

Ishi, why are you always so cautious?

So guarded.

If I didn't know you any better,

it would appear that you're up to some mischief.

Little girls were being exploited at Vinayak Sethi's farmhouse.

This is Veena Karat, reporting live from right outside Kripa Farmhouse,

the epicenter of the biggest scandal.

Block all entry and exit points.

And seal the crime scene.

Block all movement in and out of the farmhouse.

The local police have confirmed

that this is the farmhouse where the girls were being raped.

Recent findings confirm a link

between Vinayak Sethi and infamous lobbyist Ishi Sangamitra.

Move with your group.

I called the doctor you visited.

He had no idea of your illness.

In fact, he doesn't remember meeting you.

You faked a prescription? Why?

Want me to spell it out for you?

I'm done living in this dismal condition.

So you'll go to any extent?

Was I wrong?

Answer me.

-I'm waiting. -Enough!

-I covered your lies. -You're my father. That's your duty.

Stop right there.

Abba, I don't have to listen to you.

We're outside Moksha Shelter

where young girls were being physically abused.

The police have arrested the staff here

and are interrogating them.

Located in Sector 86,

the place is known to belong to a man named Vinayak Sethi.

Hi.

Is Dad conscious?

The farmhouse didn't belong to Ishi.

How could she know what was going on there?

Why else would she leave all her money to Meera?

Of course, she knew.

After her big money scam broke…

Ishi knew this dirty business would get exposed too.

Explain your logic.

That's obviously why she planned to leave the country.

Vinayak wouldn't let her flee…

which is why they fought at the party--

Stop it! Just stop it!

We slept in those beds, Zaira.

Friends trust each other.

Unconditionally.

Come on.

You've always been quick in judging her.

Hang on.

It's not just me judging her.

Every channel--

The media is biased!

You know this. Come on!

You think she's involved?

Then go out there! And get the proof!

Meher, we need to change the venue for our show.

But we've already booked the hotel. That's impossible.

Meher…

I know these constant changes, my unreasonable demands…

are tough to deal with.

But now, this show stands for a cause much bigger than you and I.

It does?

I didn't know that events would lead to this.

If there's a bright side to this…

then fine.

Good for you.

Sweetheart, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

What if Zayn had been attacked instead of me?

What if there are more attacks?

There's no guarantee of safety.

Right?

You're right.

There won't be an end to it.

In fact…

this could be the beginning.

Do you think what they say…

is true?

What?

That Ishi was involved.

I just…

I don't know who to believe.

Yes, baby.

You're right.

I'm sorry, I lied to you.

How can I get you to trust me again?

Might I remind you, we've had two kids together.

But if you're on a mission…

to get justice for these girls…

you need to discuss the pros and cons with me.

We need to have a plan.

We, not you.

I can't make it for lunch. Sorry.

It's too hectic here.

There's no need to apologize.

-Hi! -I'd come to you right away if I could.

But this case is really complicated.

Did you find Vinayak Sethi?

I don't know where the bastard's hiding. I've checked everywhere.

Could you sleep at all?

No. I'm worse off than a bat.

-Will you do something for me? -Anything!

Don't meet the boy for coffee.

You know the pressure I'm under.

Just make an excuse.

I already have. I've refused 11 guys this year!

I've beaten every girl's record in my village.

Amma will slaughter me.

For her, this one's a real catch.

He cooks pasta,

he goes to the gym, and he's an engineer.

How can I reject the perfect groom?

I love you.

And I can't live without you.

Ditto.

From the bottom of my heart.

Ghanshyam, hurry up! We're getting late.

Make it quick.

So, you want to leave, is it?

I think we'll move out as soon as possible.

Will you continue working at Rajawala Gems?

I feel…

We feel it's best--

Best for whom?

For us all.

Do you agree, Manjit?

Should our son decide what's best for us?

Along with his wife who has planted ridiculous ideas in his head.

He is a moron for listening to her.

Dad, don't you--

Keeping a family together takes work.

It takes discipline.

It is a responsibility.

A family must stay together

under one roof.

Dad, this way of thinking--

Is old fashioned. Possibly.

But if you and your liberated partner

would rather opt for modernity then you can both leave.

I won't stop you.

But then these doors will be shut.

Baldev, please!

You…

Manjit, your desperation for a grandchild blinded you.

You couldn't see what was in front of you.

You're responsible for this situation. It's all your fault!

-Get the hell out with them. -Enough, Dad!

You keep your money and you keep your legacy.

And along with that, live with your hate.

When you die…

try taking all of it with you.

Adi, please!

About Ishi's death, child… I'm not sure what I can say.

Terrible.

-Thank you. -No, you misunderstand me.

I'm not offering my condolences.

The woman got what she deserved.

It's unfortunate her misdeeds didn't catch up with her earlier.

What she did with those poor girls…

Shame!

Oh, wait…

Would you put this cup in the kitchen?

Do it yourself.

Really now?

I see you've finally found your voice.

Good. It'll come handy.

The truth?

It's as if you're hearing this word for the first time.

I know too many versions of the truth…

that drown out the real truth.

Which is why I'm wondering which one you're looking for.

Which twisted truth?

There's always only one truth, Meera-ji.

Not in high-profile cases.

There's one truth for news headlines.

Another to make your reports look good.

And yet another for dinner table gossip.

Breaking news!

"Atrocities unleashed…

on young girls by two uncivilized women."

But… this isn't the whole truth.

It's far from it.

A fine speech, madam.

But… are these pictures lying?

Enlighten me, please.

Theirs is the most important truth.

The most twisted.

But the most significant.

This story began five years ago.

I was dealing with extreme difficulties.

So, I couldn't see I was opening the gates to hell.

Long time no see, Satish!

I wondered if the landlord kicked you out!

Mind your own business, asshole!

Did you get the medicines?

We have to vacate this house.

Why?

They've sent us an eviction notice, that's why.

We've got one month.

Maybe it'll do us good.

Dream on.

It's not as if you'll land the perfect job and start paying rent.

I've heard that rents are lower in Sector 81.

We could move there--

What does it matter, Meera?

Our sick son is going to suck up every penny I earn.

We'll never save anything.

It would be best if I just…

-put an end to it all. -Satish!

He wouldn't harm his own son.

But I have a bad feeling, Ishi.

I'm terrified of his rage.

Don't worry. Give me till tomorrow morning.

I'll figure something.

Okay.

You own a lot of property, Vinayak-ji.

And no time to manage it all.

This place has been lying vacant for years.

You know, I dreamed of starting an orphanage here.

That's very generous of you.

I wish I could do more.

Why don't you and your family move here?

There's an outhouse upfront.

-It'll be convenient for you. -What would the rent be?

I wouldn't take rent from the shelter's manager.

If you're able to raise large donations

you could give me a small share.

All it needs is a solid repair.

Let me show you around.

This is a huge property.

Once it's renovated, it will look great.

We had a lemon tree like this in our shelter, remember?

It was bigger than this one.

It was you who was small back then.

Nothing would've been possible without you, Ishi.

I wish I could've helped earlier.

I didn't know how bad things had gotten.

You've always looked out for me.

Do you remember how horrid our shelter was?

I often wonder…

if our parents wanted to abandon us…

they could've at least left us in a decent home.

We won't let sadness creep in here.

We'll create a happy home.

Not "we".

It is yours to build.

With all your heart.

All by myself?

Not in a hundred years.

Why not?

No one's better than you to run this place.

You're a mother.

You understand the needs of children.

Do you really believe in me so much?

Hundred percent.

But something would be missing.

What's that?

The stories I read to you…

when we would cuddle together.

Those moments are ours alone.

My little sis.

Listener of my stories.

And then on that fateful day after five years…

Ishi came to meet me.

Maahi, finish the fruit on the plate.

Bananas are very good for health.

Hey!

It's bad manners to snatch someone else's food!

Here, have mine.

Thank you.

Have this bread too.

Can Gauri come along?

Can she?

No, she can't.

Gauri loves you.

But there are some places she can't come with you.

Okay?

Who's going to be a strong little girl?

Here, get this on.

Go on.

What would you like to drink?

Ready to go?

-When did you make this one? -This morning.

A doll, just like you.

Stop ahead at the cold drink store.

-Hey, fill it up. -Okay, sir.

You'd asked for deodorant.

What crappy stuff is this?

I wanted a branded one.

It was out of stock.

Tell Satish-ji that my friend imports it.

Sure, it costs more. But it makes a man smell good.

Are we going where Mariam went?

Finish your drink.

Here's the bill.

These rising fuel prices will screw us.

Hey, buddy, what's up?

-Do you need help with the door. -I'll manage.

I'll unlock it.

Don't make it a problem.

The Honorable Minister will be late by an hour for the meeting.

Manage it.

Go ahead upstairs.

Madam, someone's here to meet you. She's waiting in your office.

Who is it?

Did you need something from me?

I'm leaving for good, Meera.

When?

Tonight.

Whose bag is that?

It's a gift for you--

Whose money is it?

Mine.

And how did you get it?

Why are you talking to me like that?

Just a moment.

Meera…

Stay right here. I'll be back.

Give me the bag.

Careful. Gently.

Easy.

Meera madam…

Mariam is not coming back.

Sneha…

Sneha will be fine.

Sneha…

Mariam hasn't returned since two days.

Where is she?

In a very good place.

Since when?

How long has this been going on?

Four…

Years?

Yes.

Who-- Where do they take them?

Don't you have a flight to catch?

Don't get entangled in my business.

Why do it, Meera?

Wasn't it a gift from you?

What does that mean?

Vinayak?

What did he do?

How typical, Ishi! You're blaming Vinayak and me!

But never yourself.

But…

Do you remember…

when they came to adopt you?

What did you do?

Packed me off instead.

Do you remember?

You said, he'd make a good father.

Do you remember?

Do you know…

what that man did to me?

Night after night.

All you wanted was to take the reins of my life in your hands…

but all you did was throw me into a well.

Ishi, you aren't really my sister.

You're not.

You're an orphan.

Like me.

-Two orphan girls. -Meera…

You have no right over me.

Is that clear?

Do you hear me?

Do you?

Why did you keep this bottled up, Meera?

Why didn't you say anything…

about what's been going on here?

I can put an end to this horrific crime.

I can stop it, Meera.

I can.

You're unbelievable.

Get over yourself, Ishi.

Stop giving yourself so much importance.

Meera, at least hear me out.

What's left to say?

Everything's ruined!

At the most I wouldn't have been adopted.

I would've continued living miserably at the orphanage.

Or run away from there.

Begged on the streets, even.

Living any way without you would've been better!

I wish we'd never met, Ishi.

You are disgusted with what I have done.

I'm repelled by myself even more.

And until I'm alive…

this repulsion won't go away.

So, redeem yourself a little. Tell me who's responsible for this racket?

Give me a name.

Do you want names of the men raping the young girls?

Or the men and women who abetted the crime?

Or those who made money off of this heinous business?

Where do I begin?

The human soul…

it reeks black.

We can't stop the rumor mills until an official statement is issued.

And which idiot will give you a statement without facts?

Why does the media always think from their ass?

What can I report?

Hose out that crap stuffed into your brain.

-It'll make you think clearly. -Is she giving a statement or not?

I haven't hired you as a watchman. Why are you standing by the door?

Spill out what you've found.

She's a moody bitch on menopause--

Have a seat.

Vinayak seems to have no family.

He's a ghost.

After the party at the clubhouse, no one has seen him.

The CBI is taking over.

What!

How is that possible?

This matter isn't in their jurisdiction.

Tehlan, your understanding of "jurisdiction"

is too simple.

You have your way of doing things.

Always by the book.

You're an oddball.

How do I justify that to every department?

So, all I can say is--

We saved the girls, madam.

That's our biggest win.

-If there's a cover up-- -Let it go!

Vinayak could be out there.

My intuition on this case was bang on. And I know I can crack it.

I'm not giving up.

Not after coming this close!

Fair enough.

Your call.

But if you've decided not to back off…

be aware…

that you're stepping into a darkness.

Like no other.

It will leave you gagging for breath.

What you unravel will rattle your core.

You will be scarred for life. With no way back for you.

Tehlan.

If strong-willed women like you join the force…

the state machinery will get cleaned.

Ma'am, that's Inspector Tehlan.

Aren't you waiting to meet her?
