Monica Page #6

Synopsis: Public Prosecutor Mathur names an accused, Sandeep Mishra, and three other suspects who had arranged the homicide of Lucknow-based journalist Monica. The trio are Aseem Ray - a wealthy publisher; Pamela Grewal - a businesswoman; and Chandrakant Pandit - the former Telecom Minister and soon-to-be Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh. With odds stacked heavily against him, Mathur presents, what is an apparent circumstantial case before a female judge, and must prove beyond a reasonable shadow of doubt, that Sandeep was directly involved - even though direct evidence indicates that the murder was committed by two unknown males, and that the deceased victim lived a dual life.

But the story of everyone's

life does change.

'I never realized

when I became a pawn..'

'..in Chandra and Vohra's battle.'

'After exposing Pamela

and Vohra's nexus..'

'..I was considering

myself a good journalist.'

'But I couldn't see that..'

'..Chandra was only

taking revenge from Vohra..'

'..for his father's death

by making me write all this.'

'He didn't have any

attraction towards me.'

'He only wanted Lucknow back.'

What are you saying, Mr. Mishra?

Panditji is thinking

of coming back to Lucknow..

..and I should explain

brother Vohra that..

..he should descend from

his post and compromise.

As long as brother Vohra is there..

..Panditji won't be able

to cross Delhi's border.

And I am saying this.

Maharaj. Gopinath Pande.

Panditji is a novice.

Ask him to stay in Delhi.

And let me tell you a secret.

I had taken the contract

of Panditji's father.

Me.

I severed his body and disposed it.

Maharaj.

And you wanted to hear me say this,

didn't you?

So listen carefully.

Do you think I am scared of anyone?

Let them do whatever they want.

Driver, stop the car.

Mr. Mishra will get down right here.

Mr. Mishra.

Panditji.

You forgot to apologize, Maharaj.

Mr. Mishra. Mr. Mishra.

Panditji is like my brother.

Mr. Mishra. Mr. Mishra.

Listen to me. Please.

It was a mistake.

Mr. Mishra. Mr. Mishra.

Chandra, you..

You just killed somebody.

And you..

You are very coolly making tea.

I am saying something..

Monica.

I like you.

It's best.. if it stays that way.

What happened?

They will kill me.

It's possible that

it was just my illusion..

..about that man following me.

But they want me dead.

This isn't my illusion.

Chandra.

Madam, coffee.

You normally have black, don't you?

Hey! Hey!

Hey, listen!

Stop. Call him.

- What happened, madam?

Call him, I want to talk to him.

Just call the person

that just went inside.

He just went inside.

What are you talking? Just call him.

Madam, no one went from here.

Madam, what is the problem?

Just call the man

who just went inside.

He just served me coffee, damn it.

Coffee?

This is a bar, madam, no coffee.

How about a drink with me?

- No, thanks.

What is happening?

Was he..

Monica.

Where have you been past so many days?

Rohit, just tell me something please.

No, first you tell me why

you aren't coming to the office.

Rohit, just leave that.

Just tell me one thing.

- We are all worried.

Cut that, will you?

Just tell me is Ramdev there?

- Ramdev?

Ramdev who? - The same

Ramdev who works in our office.

Our tea-seller.

- I can't believe this.

Firstly you have been

missing for 10 days.

And today you call

up and ask where Ramdev is.

Please stop fooling and tell me,

it's urgent.

Tell you what, Monica?

Tell me is Ramdev there?

Of course he is here.

He is standing right in front of me.

Are you sure? - Do you want

me to order your black coffee?

She just called and asked for Ramdev,

that's it. - Yes, sir.

You may go now.

Monica. - Yes.

What is going on, Monica?

Where are you?

Running away like this

is not going to help.

Look, take my advice and come back.

Back?

Why do you feel I

am not in Delhi, Ray?

Did your goons tell you

whom you sent to kill me?

Or else..

Ramdev, he told you.

Who told you that, tell me?

What are you saying, Monica?

You.. you are not making any sense.

And what killers

are you talking about?

Just because we had an argument..

..doesn't mean I would

want to get you killed.

I haven't dreamt at all, Ray.

I fled leaving Isha crying.

Because I had to leave.

Oh come on, Monica.

I thought we had it going.

Didn't we work like a team?

Just because I screamed at you..

Okay, okay.

Tell me one thing.

Shouldn't you have consulted me..

..before publishing the

article you wrote about Vohra?

And then, you knew very well..

..that the story was against Pamela.

But no.

You had to go and do what

your lover told you to do.

I had to look after myself.

What did you get by doing that?

Did he support you?

Did he give the child his name?

After exposing Vohra he dumped you.

Now you tell me who

wants to get you killed.

Me or him?

I will certainly tell

you who wants to get me killed.

Even if that's the last story I do.

And you think your

story will be published.

Aren't you making the

same mistake which MJ did?

'You want me to publish this..

this crap..'

'..just because you want it.'

'Who the heck do you think you are?'

'You were just a sub-reporter.'

'I put you on to Pandit.'

'And after one night in bed..'

'..he would have had nothing

to do with you, nothing.'

'If you weren't the special

correspondent of this newspaper.'

'He used you.'

'He used you so that he can

defeat the opposition through you.'

'And now you think you

can have your way with me.'

'You think you can do anything..'

'..just because you have

direct access to his pants.'

'Never.'

'He may be a freaking God in bed.'

'But me.'

'When I do people they are done.'

'Trying getting laid someone else.'

Even he thought that

he isn't just my editor..

..but the owner of my life.

Darn you.

And then I found you, didn't I?

Witch.

You..

She will be found.

I had to shoot in self-defense.

Otherwise he would

have killed the girl.

Any kind of enmity with anyone?

Put him in the car.

Put him in the back of the car.

You didn't tell the

police anything about it..

..but there is something

you are hiding from me.

Otherwise no one

can ever think about..

..burgling The Hive Guesthouse.

This burglary,

the phone calls are because of you.

I am warning you.

If you try to do anything wrong..

..then I can call

the police back again.

Raj. - Monica, where are you?

No, you don't have to tell you.

But.. I thought that

I would come pick you up.

I thought you are fool.

You turned out to be

more foolish than I thought.

What are you thinking of doing?

You will blackmail them

and they will be scared.

And the information

you are trying to gather..

How do you know what I am doing, Raj?

- You are forgetting.

You forget that technically

I am a journalist as well.

I know..

you don't need anyone's help..

..but may I just tell you

that today you need my help.

You need my help. Understand?

Not to expose them. No.

To find yourself,

Monica, you are lost.

Monica, you are lost.

Where are you?

You need me there by your side.

Tell you what, Raj, hang up.

I am so sorry about it, Raj.

I wish you had called earlier.

Damn.

Greetings, Panditji.

You are elder to me.

You can call me Chandra.

In politics one is

honored not by their age..

..but by their lineage.

We have your father's blessings.

I will feel blessed

if I can become like him.

You have taken a step ahead.

You just need to

reach your destination.

Isn't it?

I need your support, that's all.

The newspaper headlines

are telling a different story.

That's not called asking.

She hails from Lucknow.

That's why she writes emotionally.

Sometimes.
