You have only 5 minutes after the alarm starts.

Okay.

A decent world doesn't exist anymore.

Stop, madam. Where are you going?

I want to see the warden? - I cannot allow you in.

Now I'm going to be..

..like the world is.

Get out..

Run.. get out.

Come on..

Move.

Sam!

Sam!

Listen..stop.

Where's Sam's room? - It's this one.

Run..hurry up.

Sam!

Sam!

Sam!

Who killed Siya?

You said you know who killed Siya.

Tell me everything, Sam. Everything..

You cannot win.

He killed Siya, he'll kill you too. - Who is he?

Who killed Siya?

What happened, tell me everything.

Sam. - This is fun!

Talk to me. Sam.

Sam, stop this. Talk to me.

Sam, who killed Siya.

Sam!

I told you don't call me.

Mr. Sunny Singh, what's your line of profession.

Well..we're in the business of lock and key.

We make keys..and open locks.

You must remember that two days ago..

..I asked you to pick the lock of apartment no. 306. - Yes.

Could you? - No.

Why not?

I told you then and there..that's the latest lock from Germany.

And your honor, even my father..

..who's in this business for 30 years cannot pick that lock.

You mean..when you couldn't pick that lock..

..then a clever thief would've failed too.

Right? - Right.

Dr. Satish, did you perform the autopsy on Siya's body? - Yes.

What did you find in the autopsy?

There were traces of a chemical in her blood.

Which chemical.

It's a kind of chemical which is called Phencyclidine.

Youngsters also call it Angel Dust.

Drugs to youngsters.

The one they use to get high?

Yes.

Your daughter Siya lived with you?

No, she lived alone.

Strange, you were a single mother.

Yet your daughter lived alone.

Not always.

Since she turned 18. - Why?

Did you two have an argument?

Or was your family breakup the reason?

Objection, your honor.

What is advocate Verma trying to prove?

My motive was to draw the court's attention to the fact..

..that when girls in a broken family feel lonely..

..they tread down the wrong path in search of love and support.

Siya wasn't like that. - Then how was she, Ms. Garima.

My daughter was the most brilliant student of JJ School of Arts.

But all the artwork in her studio are mostly incomplete.

Was there a void in her life too?

There's a void in everyone's life.

No one gets a complete world, Advocate Verma?

Can you tell us how your daughter filled the void in her life?

Like most youngsters do these days.

With their friends.

Objection, your honor.

This case is about Siya's murder, not her personal life.

Your honor, the conditions under which Siya was murdered..

..her lifestyle had a big role to play in it.

Please continue. - Thank you, your honor.

Did your daughter have friends? - Who doesn't?

She had dozens of friends.

Boyfriends? - Yes.

She had male friends as well.

How was Siya's relation with her boyfriend?

Objection, your honor.

This is just an attempt to humiliate Siya.

I disagree, your honor.

To find the real murderer, it's important to find out..

..who Siya's friends were, what they did..

..who did she go around with?

And how did she party, if she did?

Will you hang up or not?

Joe. - Yes sir.

It's a kidnapping case. Send backup. - Right, sir.

Did Siya have relations with a lot of men?

I'll repeat my question.

Did Siya have relations with a lot of men?

Mrs. Garima, I hope you understand what I'm trying to get at.

I clearly understand what you're trying to say.

You want to prove that my daughter was shameless.

On what basis?

Because she had a few male friends?

Advocate Verma, my daughter was clever, beautiful, emotional.

Men would hover around her, so what?

Is that a crime?

Are you one of those..who always think that..

..it's always the women who're at fault.

People who blame the girl and not the rapist after she's been raped.

They blame her sense of dressing..

They blame her independent thinking.

They blame the very fact that she's a girl?

Ms. Garima, I am sorry to hurt your feelings?

No, Advocate Verma. You're not sorry.

At this time you are just a lawyer..

..who wants to win her case at any cost.

If you had any humanity, or sympathy..

..then you would've understood my pain.

I dream about my daughter every night..

..where she says..

"Mama, save me. I want to live."

"Help me Mama.."

Back when she was a kid, even a small hiccup would give me sleepless nights.

Imagine my condition when..

..her scream resonates in my ears every night.

Your honor, I seriously object to these kind of questioning.

My questions are relevant, your honor.

Did you know that your daughter took drugs?

Yes.

Your honor, please note.

Siya was a young girl.

She lived alone.

She had lot of male friends and she also took drugs.

And that night, the lock of Siya's apartment..

..was impossible to pick from outside.

So obviously..Siya opened it herself from the inside.

And Siya's killer, who came into her apartment that night..

..must have been one of Siya's male friends..

..whom Siya must have invited over herself.

And not some petty thief..

..who went there to steal some money for his mother's medicine.

That will be all, your honor.

Recess. The trial will continue after an hour.

Ms. Verma..

..what Niyaz did with my daughter behind closed doors..

..you just did that to her character in the open.

What's the difference between you and Niyaz?

Nothing.

Ma'am, I'll find out.

Madam..you're very good.

And that Garima..she's such a good actor.

What a performance she gave in the court.

"You have no idea what a mother has to go through?"

Your case is being defended..by a mother.

Not a lawyer, understand.

Your name? - Nazia.

Nazia Qureshi.

You're Niyaz's wife.. Legally married? - Yes.

Thank you.

I'll come straight to the point.

Did Niyaz know Siya?

Yes.

Please tell us more clearly..how.

How did Niyaz know Siya?

He supplied drugs to Siya.

What kind of drugs?

Every kind of drugs.

Ecstasy. Marijuana. MDMA.

What did he say that night before he left?

Like where he's going? Did he say anything?

He said..he's going to Siya's house for recovery.

To get the money.

Your honor, the witness' statement clearly indicates..

..that the accused knew Siya.

I mean..Niyaz knew Siya before she was murdered.

That's all, your honor.

Wait. Hold on.

Why didn't you tell me that you knew Siya?

Was it important?

I decide what's important and what's not. Understand.

I told you to tell me everything.

Didn't I?

Look..Siya promised that she will return my money.

I went there to get the money..

..but when I got there, she was already dead.

I swear.

Was she really dead?

I got in the mood.

I wanted to her right there..

..but then she started fighting back.

And then I raped her.

I had to kill her!

Because I knew Siya wouldn't keep quiet.

That's all.. Happy?

Seven million?

Yes. After the old woman dies, Niyaz will get seven million of the policy.

How can a drug-supplier..

..get a seven million policy for his mother?

It's a really old insurance bought in 1978.
