My husband will get a reprieve.

He'll be saved.

- Don't worry. We'll tell the police.

- Thank you so much!

l'll go and tell him this. O God!

What happened? What's wrong?

The car has stalled. The jail's

2 kms. from here. Better walk.

2 kms. ? O Lord!

Papers are ready for you to take

away the body. Come and sign.

l reported to the police.

Phoned all the hospitals.

But there's still no news

about your mother child.

l think she couldn't take this

and she too, with your father...

...went to her Maker.

l won't soften the blow, son.

l'll tell you the truth.

At your age, life is a game.

But now life is no more a game.

lt's a war! With the principles

thought by your parents...

...you'll have to fight this war.

And fight you will!

- Mr. Verma's piano. 7,000/-...

- 8,000/-

Today Mr. Verma's house was

auctioned. His kids are orphaned.

They've become homeless. And

it's all due to you. You!

- Me? How come?

- Eventually the truth was revealed.

- That Mr. Verma was innocent.

- You're unbelievable, Mr. Gupta.

l always knew that Deepak

Verma was innocent.

But it was my job to send him

to the gallows. And l did!

You should be ashamed, sir.

You cut the law with its own sword?

You've ruined a home. Tell me,

where will these kids go?

l'd like to give you some advice.

Absolutely free too.

There are many Govt. orphanages.

Send them there. Let's go, driver.

Think this as your own home.

Here eat this. Very hungry, eh?

- Take care of them, dear.

- Listen. l want to talk to you.

- Coming. Tend to them, okay?

- Come in, will you? - Okay.

What do you take this house for?

You just invite anybody in it.

- They are hungry and orphaned.

- My father didn't give you this...

...for you to turn it into an

orphanage. l don't want garbage here.

They were hungry, l fed them.

Tell them that l can't carry on.

Keep your voice down,

Shut up, will you?

- Where are the kids?

- They went away.

- Where to?

- l don't know.

Get these papers typed. We've to

present them in the court tomorrow.

And that case... which

Mr. Thakral won...

- Get the file from the record-room.

- Yes, sir.

May l ask you something, sir?

You're a renowned lawyer yourself.

Then why do you call all his

files and go through them?

- ...l've put my foot in the mouth.

- No, that's alright.

l became a lawyer because

of Mr. Thakral's obligations.

l want to know his each and

every move and craftiness.

Because there's a case going on

for years in the Court of Time.

And l aim to win that case

against Mr. Thakral!

Komal... Ramu, keep this

inside. - Yes, sir.

So Keshav gave this file, eh?

Did he give any thick file?

- No, just this one.

- This one, eh? - Yes, sir.

Tomorrow there's a case and...

Do you remember anything else

besides your court, cases, witnesses?

Yes. l remember that

l've a younger sister, Komal.

She's very sweet and good.

Only, at times...

...she loses her temper real quick.

And cools just as fast, when cajoled.

- l remember all the things l should.

- Then for such a good memory...

...you must get a reward.

Here you are.

- What is it? - You may recall

something after seeing this.

Wow! But why all this

all of a sudden?

Because, one, l wanted to remind

you that, some years back...

...you had other hobbies

besides being a lawyer.

And secondly, it's your

birthday today!

Hey! l had totally forgotten.

But how can l forget it,

dear brother?

A Happy Birthday to my brother.

lt's a lovely present.

l didn't give you this gift, for

you to recall your sad memories.

Not really. One recalls things

which a man has forgotten.

But this is that sorrow which

neither of as has ever forgotten...

l remember everything.

Very well too!

You're meeting the Maharaja of

Bairampur and Lady Darabshah.

- When is her case due?

- The 18th of this month. And now...

- ...you're meeting Dr. Mathur.

- l've understood you're wife's case.

- But l can't take it.

- Don't say that, sir.

You're the leading lawyer

in the city. And if you...

Being the leading lawyer

brings its own problems too.

l've got so many cases pending.

That l can't take a new case.

My wife's innocent. l'll

pay you whatever you say.

Look Dr. Mathur, l've

just one answer.

- See if Mr. Dayal is here.

- He is, sir.

- He was willing to pay you highly...

- You won't understand it.

His wife is charged with

poisoning her patients.

Every proof and all the

witnesses are against her.

And l'm neither fond, nor in

the habit, losing my case!

What happened? You went

to see that lawyer.

Everybody knows that

your sister's innocent.

But the case is so complicated,

that no lawyer wants to touch it.

- God knows what'll happen.

- l was suggested another lawyer.

l was told he's very good.

Why not go and meet him?

l've just one answer for you.

l don't take so openly false cases.

My sister's innocent.

l can swear to it.

Okay, but you also believe me

that the Court will not accept it.

There's no way to win this case.

lf the case cannot be won

why try to get at the truth?

- lsn't that what you mean?

- You are misunderstanding me.

l've understood what you mean,

and also you, Mr. Verma.

lf an innocent is imprisoned

for life, so be it.

But you! You're not willing to

bear the stigma of losing one case!

Because you're interested only in

your win, fame, and success!

This file will tell even a blind

man that your sister...

...is a corrupt doctor, who

poisoned her patients, purposely!

But you want to shout from the

roof tops that she's innocent.

- Yes, she is! - Just because

she's your sister? Any proof...

...any witnesses? lf so, then

bring them. l'll listen. Get them.

lf there is no proof and

there are no witnesses...

...can't one be innocent?

Can't one be innocent without

any proof or a witness?

l had heard a lot about you,

and came here with great hopes.

But while leaving l can't even lie

that l was glad to meet you.

Dr. Mathur, l'm Arun

Verma, your lawyer.

- Has my husband sent you?

- No your sister came to me.

l've read all the reports

and your statements.

Whatever, and how it happened,

l'd like to hear it from you.

lt happened when my husband

was in Pune, and l was all alone.

- The patient is very serious.

- Give the prescribed dose.

- But it's not in our stock.

- l've some. l'll come right now.

Here, drink this.

- Don't worry. You'll be fine.

- The senior doctor is in his cabin.

- His pulse has stopped.

- What!

Whatever l've told you,

is absolutely true.

Who mixed poison in it? How

it happened? l just don't know.

- l just don't know.

- Dr. Mathur...

...presently all l can promise,

is that l'll try my best.

Okay then. l'll see you again.

Dr. Mathur may have given

the man the same medicine...

- ...which she brought with her.

- No, it cannot be that.

The man drank the medicine which

Tony planted in the doctor's bag.

Look Tony, your father and

l are childhood friends.

Don't look to me as a lawyer now,
