Friend?

If I was a friend, you would've come to me first.

Why didn't you tell me?

I wanted to come to you, Yohaan, trust me.

But I was scared that you might react this way.

He should've been scared, not you.

He knows everything, Yohaan.

Places I go, people I meet.. Everything.

Yesterday at the restaurant..

..he overheard everything we spoke.

Maybe he was right there.

I am telling you, Yohaan.

There's nothing I could do.

Why didn't you tell me?

You should've told me.

Yohaan, please..

You should've told me.

I could not tell you.

My Sanaya's gone, Yohaan.

We haven't lost Sanaya yet. - My Sanaya's gone.

Anuradha, we haven't lost Sanaya. - I can't.

I almost lost Sanaya once before.

I got pregnant..

..and my husband found out it was a girl.

He said..

..we can have a daughter later.

First I want a son.

Even my in-laws wanted a boy.

I was so lonely.

I had loved him you know.

I even stopped practicing law for his sake.

Settled down in America.

It was our child..

..and he said "Abort it".

Kill my daughter.

My Sanaya!

A man becomes a father after the child is born.

But a woman becomes a mother..

..from the time the child starts developing in her womb.

A man can say "Abort the child"..

..but not a mother.

I fled from those murderers.

Away from the world, that had no place for my child.

I almost lost her once, I can't lose her again.

You will not lose her.

You know, sometimes Sanaya would call me.

She would say "Mama has no time".

"She's always busy."

I wonder how she looked up to me.

But I've always seen a daughter in her.

Sometimes when I'm alone, I wonder..

..if I die now, what am I going to miss?

My job, uniform, money, alcohol?

I wonder..and see two faces in front of me.

Sanaya and you.

The time to shed tears is over.

Get up.

The battle will now begin.

Only Niyaz's lawyer comes to meet him in jail. - Yes.

If anyone else pays him a visit..

..inform me immediately. - Sure, sir.

Hey, Joe. - What a surprise, sir.

Save it for later, first here's what I want you to do.

What, sir? - Do you know about Niyaz's case?

Not much.

Check the records.

I want a list of his old cell mates. - Okay.

Anu, I'm close to Niyaz's hutment.

I am sure the kidnapper's somewhere around.

Go to Siya's studio and check her computer.

Ms. Verma.

I am sorry..but did you have to break the lock of the door..

..to get into my daughter's life?

I am sorry, I..

Yohaan said that it's okay. I can stop this.

No, it's okay.

After Siya's demise..I felt a void around me.

And to fill that void..I kept everything in a way..

..so to feel that Siya's still here.

I saw that..most of Siya's artwork were incomplete.

Why?

Siya was very impatient.

She would start her next sculpture or painting..

..before finishing the previous one.

She would get bored easily.

Was she same with her relationships? - Maybe.

Like her papa..

Why did you two part ways?

That's the irony.

His habits, which attracted me towards him..

..later became the reason of our separation.

His creativity..his attitude and his..carelessness.

Any other reason?

Dhananjay's affairs.

I didn't tell Siya about her papa's affairs.

Because..it would shatter the image of an ideal man..

..that existed in her heart.

So I stayed quiet..

..and Siya drifted away.

Do you think the court will change Niyaz's death sentence..

..to life imprisonment?

Or..he'll get bail.

Nothing is impossible for his lawyer.

I am sorry I've to take this phone call.

Excuse me.. so sorry!

Ram. - Welcome, sir. Welcome.

Call your boss.

Sir, even without the uniform..

..you still mean the same for us as always.

A yellow Nano went missing on the 2nd.

Okay, sir. Just a minute.

Boss..Yohaan sir's here.

He's asking about a yellow Nano that went missing on the 2nd.

MH-14-DZ.

MH-14-DZ.

8118.. - 8118.

You've until tomorrow. - You've until tomorrow.

Sir, tomorrow?

How can I get it done by tomorrow, sir?

Even if I put all my boys to work..

If you don't find out until tomorrow..

..then after I'm through with you, you'll look like an old scrap.

The first hearing is tomorrow..at 11am.

Is Niyaz' new lawyer here too?

It's a female.

Mrs. Chaudhary, victim's mother.

Advocate Verma.. - Niyaz' new lawyer.

I had no intentions of lying to you.

I was about to tell you the truth.

Tell me what?

That you met me in order to save my daughter's murderer.

Won my trust..used me.

I didn't use anyone.

I was only doing my job.

Then why did you lie?

Maybe that pain in your eyes was fake too..

..which deceived me.

My pain doesn't need your certificate, Mrs. Garima.

Nor does your pain need my sympathy.

Everyone has their own hell..

..and everyone has to face it alone.

Just imagine, God forbid..

..if your daughter had been through what my daughter did..

..would you still defend that rapist? Fend for him?

Advocate Verma, your firm defends criminals like Abbas.

I can understand that.

But..this scum.

Any problem?

And the most decorated officer of the city..

..is helping you in this.

Mr. Yohaan, if you weren't suspended..

..then you would've received another medal for this good deed.

You arrested Niyaz, didn't you?

And now you're helping her to get him acquitted.

What about your honesty, inspector?

Did you sell it?

Garima, life doesn't give everyone the luxury of preserving their honesty.

Or the liberty to choose between right and wrong.

Life often brings you at crossroads..

..where it's difficult to choose whether to save our life or honor.

What difficulty has life thrown at you..

..which compelled you to save that monster.

I cannot answer this question now.

But I will..when the time is right.

Let's go.

Ms. Verma, I am not fighting for my daughter alone.

But for all the daughters..

..whose mother are still waiting for justice.

Come.

Did you find out anything?

Siya's friend's name is Sam.

He's 23 year old, he's a drug addict.

And currently he's in Rehab.

But Sam can't be the murderer. - Why?

He's been in the hospital since 26th July, 2013

A week before Siya's murder.

Typical case.

Spoilt brat of a rich father.

Went to America for kicks.

No education..only divulged into drugs.

He graduated from Marijuana to LSD.

And finally..Angel Dust.

So are you completely sure..

..that Sam was admitted on 26th July, 2013.

Is it on your record? - Let me just check.

Yes..I'm positive.

He was admitted here on 26th July, at 4pm.

This way. - Okay.

Thank you.

Siya..

Did you know Siya?

Siya was an angel.

I loved being with her.

She wasn't demanding at all.

No pressure.. I felt really free around her.

Could you please stop that?

It's driving me crazy, please.

Stop what? - That recorder.

I can't bear it!

Anu.

Hey.. what are you doing?

What's going on here?

Sam's an A-class patient.

Do you two know that only his guardian can meet him?

You two please go out from here! Now!

He's crazy.

The drugs have short-circuited his brain.

Turn the car around. - What?

Yohaan, turn the car around now.
