Mr. Tyagi...

Pinto!

What's up?

You wanted to see me?

Nothing important.

l thought I'd have a word with you.

Tomorrow is the hearing in court

and l'm anxious.

l know.

All you have to do is identify...

Rahul Dewan in courtand

everything will be fine.

Actually, l wanted to ask you...

what if l refuse

to identify Rahul Dewan?

Will it be a big problem?

What are you saying?!

No, I mean, what if l...

you know, turn hostile in court?

Turn hostile?

l know it's difficult

to stand up to them...

but we're doing this

for a noble cause.

We want justice for the deceased.

Justice?

Are you really

fighting forjustice?

You are using me

to advance your career.

Let's get to the point.

The Dewan family has

offered me a deal.

20 million rupees.

You get 10 percent.

And tomorrow no matter what l say,

don't say a word.

What do you think?

Deal?

You are unbelievable!

l thought you were a...

But you're making a mistake.

The Dewans' are worth

more than 2 billion.

20 million is loose

change for them.

Take me along with

you to negotiate.

Let's renegotiate

and ask for 50 million.

Rajpal is afraid you will testify.

- 50 million, huh?

- Yeah.

- Rajpal is afraid?

- Yeah.

He's afraid of you?

You are so naive!

You think...

the Rajpal who orchestrated

this entire plan, is afraid of you?

l'm no eye witness...

l didn't watch any film...

l didn't stay at the

hotel or go to the cops.

l work for Mr. Rajpal.

Rajpal sent you to me?

Shocked?

He likes doing this.

You've just begun your practice.

You will have many more

similar experiences.

But you are lucky.

ln two months you've

become popular in the media.

l've heard you've

also got a chamber.

Congratulations on the success.

Think about it, Jolly.

Even if you refuse,

l will turn hostile in court.

But you get 2 million

to play along.

What say?

2 million.

Smart decision.

Here is your advance.

The rest will come

after the case is dismissed.

Okay?

And, one more thing...

send an SMS to Rajpal...

to say thank you.

He will like that.

lt was the Maharashtra

state versus Gokhale.

And the presiding

judge was Ranade...

hang on...

Here's your money, Mr.

Rajpal and...

please get my son out of this mess,

once and for all.

Mr. Dewan...

What's this?

This is the cheque for 3 million

which you had given me.

l will take this back only when

Rahul is completely free of this mess.

Thank you so much, Mr. Rajpal.

Vivek, keep this safe.

Yes sir.

And Vivek...

you don't be greedy.

You are a genius, sir.

l agree.

l only demand what l deserve...

and nobody calls me greedy.

There you are.

You said you would

pick me up at 7 pm.

Your phone was also switched off.

lt's good that Vasu picked me up

from the bus stand.

l still need to learn.

l have a lot to learn.

l was under the impression that...

l held the remote

control in this lawsuit.

But hats off to Rajpal.

Brilliant.

l am impressed, Mr. Rajpal.

No wonder the world

bows down to him.

Brilliant!

He is unbelievable.

What's wrong?

l don't understand.

l still don't understand...

whether l've lost

or gained with this deal.

What deal?

Remember Albert Pinto?

He works for Rajpal.

What?!

Yes.

They struck a deal

and everything is over.

And we got 2 million.

lt's a loss!

Jolly, it's a loss!

The idiot conned me

and took everything.

l could've got at least 5 million.

lf Pinto had to identify

Rahul Dewan, Rajpal would call me.

A big loss!

But this wasn't my game,

so what's to lose.

lf Pinto got 20 million...

we've got 2 million!

And Sandhu,

2 million is a lot of money.

Look...

here's the 200,000 advance.

Why did you do this?

What's got into you?

All your hard work

for this lawsuit...

was only about a deal?

And the six laborers

who died that night?

Fighting for their

justice is meaningless?

Why are you screaming at me?

What have I done?

Should l let go of an opportunity

to make some money?

lt's my profession.

You are a lawyer by profession.

What you are doing now makes

you a broker.

What's wrong with being a broker?

l am a broker.

You think l'm dreaming

of winning this lawsuit?

l'm not that stupid.

Fate gives me a chance

and l should let it go?

l'm not doing this for myself.

l'm doing this for you...

l'm doing this for our future.

What have I demanded

from you, Jolly?

A mansion, a luxury car...

was it just my dream?

Did I tell you to come to Delhi?

Why are you blaming me

for your weakness?

Even if l accept that you

are doing this for me...

tell me something...

what have l demanded from

you that you stooped so low today?

What are you talking about?

Who has stooped low?

Have you lost it?

And if you can't

stand this broker...

why don't you find yourself

an honest man to live with?

What did you really want?

To be featured in the newspaper,

fame, interviews, right?

You could've achieved that

by honest means too.

lf you still have any sense left,

think about it.

You've lost big time in this deal.

No, that's not him.

Mr. Pinto, you've written in

your affidavit that...

you saw Rahul Dewan that night.

Are you sure this person

is not Rahul Dewan?

Well... I'm sure it's not him.

l saw a picture in the newspaper

and l thought I could identify him.

Do you realize the importance

of your testimony to this case?

l do, sir.

But l can't accuse an innocent

person for the sake ofjustice.

Right.

Mr. Tyagi...

do you wish to say anything?

No, your honor,

l have nothing to say.

Please be quiet.

This is a court room,

not a theatre.

Mr. Tyagi,

your witness is turning hostile.

You could lose this case.

Say something.

No, your honor,

l have nothing to say.

Okay, fine.

l guess the two parties

have agreed amongst themselves.

That saves the court's time.

l'll set the date

for another hearing.

We'll see how it goes.

Jolly...

very good!

People will cite you as an

example of success.

l'm proud of you.

Very good!

l thought you would

get about 700,000 rupees...

but 2 million is mind blowing!

You've done it.

Some day you will be

a bigger lawyer than Rajpal.

How do you know?

Such deals never stay hidden.

By now it would've

spread like wildfire.

l hope I did the right thing.

Right?

lt's a genius master stroke.

You leave.

Mr. Kaul, today...

- Mr. Kaul?

- No...

All your hard work

for this lawsuit...

was only about a deal?

And the six laborers

who died that night?

Fighting for their

justice is meaningless?

Sir, would you mind

stepping away a few feet?

My family and l

sleep here at night.

Albert Pinto the key eye witness

in the Rahul Dewan...

accident has turned hostile and...

the PlL has once again lost steam.

Seems like another victory

for. Tejinder Rajpal.

What's shocking is that...

ever since Albert Pinto

turned hostile in court...

neither he nor his lawyer

Jagdish Tyagi are traceable.

His silence as Mr. Pinto

turned hostile is a mystery.

This whole incident sheds light

on one fact...

a poor man's life is cheaper than
