Monica Page #7

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.

Monica.

Isn't that her name? - Yes.

By the way such names

are not heard for long.

Better.

Come, let's discuss

some essential things.

Nainital.

Fine.

As a responsible and

loyal worker of the party..

..I would like the

High-Command to focus on..

Sorry.

Uttar Pradesh is very

important for our party.

Mr. Vohra is certainly a

responsible and experienced person..

..but today in Uttar

Pradesh we need zest..

..and enthusiasm more than experience.

All the workers of UP are thinking..

..who can bring this zest

and enthusiasm in Uttar Pradesh.

Hello. - Hello. Hello.

Why doesn't anyone speak?

Why do you keep calling

here so frequently?

Listen, did you give

anyone this phone number?

Then who keeps calling so frequently.

I never received

such blank calls before.

Today I saw a man getting

murdered, Chandra.

In the middle of the road..

he was killed brutally.

Can you tell me who could

have killed him, Chandra?

Where are you?

Why don't you try walking

on the road alone for once..

..like a common man?

You will be scared.

You won't know when someone..

..will appear suddenly and kill you.

It happens with common people,

Chandra.

Monica, where are you right now?

Are you fine?

You know very well where I am.

Who gave you my number, Chandra?

You keep calling to scare me,

isn't it?

Who calls?

Who calls?

Who calls, damn it?

What are you saying?

- You are pathetic.

You very well know where I am.

Why don't you show yourself?

Show yourself.

You are a coward.

That's what you are.

Dirty dog.

Monica, if I had known

where you are right now..

..then maybe.. - Then maybe

I wouldn't have been alive..

..to say this.

Right?

Look.

You have failed,

Chandra, because I escaped.

You know why?

Because I am a survivor.

I am a survivor.

And if you want to get me killed,

Chandra?

You will have to

face the consequences.

Because you may not

want to hear the story..

..I am going to say, Chandra.

Don't threaten me, Monica.

Because I have nothing to hide.

And as far as getting you killed.

I don't need anyone to do my jobs.

It just.. happens.

People understand..

my likes.. dislikes.

Regrettably..

..you didn't keep this in mind.

Best of luck, Chandra, you need it.

Congratulations, Panditji.

Now you have the High

Command's support as well.

Now Lucknow is in

the palm of our hands.

There are some things

that can interfere.

Alright, Chandra. So be it.

Pam was right.

Men.

What?

This happens to be a

highly-classified file, sweetheart.

And he.. has given you this file.

I know that Swami very

well who teaches Pam yoga.

He has done all this.

To defame Chandra in

front of the High-Command.

I am impressed.

Swiss Bank accounts.

Direct sanctions

of the Telecom Ministry.

The kickback files

from the PMO office.

Smart Pam.

Monica, you are forgetting that

the minister you are going to expose..

..his party is in power.

This could be suicide.

Or stardom.

Okay, I will show you something, baby.

I have a second option as well.

These files which I can publish.

What is this?

This is what I am

giving you is the truth.

And what you gave me is a lie.

Pam and Vohra want to

trap Chandra in a telecom scam.

Funny thing is he

knows this very well.

But the tragedy is that

he can't prove his innocence.

Monica, I have some

tapes which can prove..

..that Chandra didn't take

any kickbacks, or any money.

And all the Swiss accounts

that you are showing me..

..are false, fake.

The papers are forged.

This deal was absolutely genuine.

You are brilliant, Ray.

- Cut the praise.

Let's talk about the price.

Look, Monica,

I need funds to run this newspaper..

..and you need.. a Asim Ray..

..who can prove your false story true.

Ask Pam to fund me.

So that I can be the owner

of this publishing house.

After that I will make

you associate editor..

..and maybe.. partner too.

And the truth?

If Chandra is right,

then shouldn't you support the truth?

Will you?

Do you like flute?

To play the right tune, my dear.

You need to know which flute to pick.

I didn't know.. why should he?

You know what your problem is, baby.

That you.. in spite of everything..

..are still a middle-class girl.

You want to get out

of those lanes of Lucknow.

But you can't leave the

baggage behind. - Thanks.

I am warning you.

Your weakness will

take you down some day.

You tell me.

I was the one who wanted

to sleep with Chandra..

..in the first place.

I initiated this

relationship and not him.

And if I have a child..

..and he doesn't want

to give her his name..

..how do I blame him?

Darling,

who the heck does he think he is?

I mean it should be

your choice and not his..

..whether you want to give

your child his name or not.

Not the other way around, okay.

And anyway..

you were not just sleeping with him.

You were also in love with him,

weren't you?

And he made you realize

that you are special.

Right?

And you are special.

Whether it's your body or your mind?

People should know its worth.

I know you are not saint.

You are one heck of a witch.

But then, all of us don't

fall in the same category.

Life is a witch.

By the way I say..

to heck with Chandrakant Pandit.

She is your child.

You are the mother and the father.

But if you do decide that..

No, the father's name..

..should be Chandrakant.

Then he better be on his knees..

..begging you for that honor.

But this is possible only when..

..you have the parrot

in which his life dwells.

Parrot. - Parrot.

Parrot. - Yes, parrot.

Parrot. - Parrot.

Yes, this scam will nail him.

Just get out!

Get out of my house. - Listen.

Listen to me.

- I don't want to listen to you.

Quiet! - Go away.

Leave me. - Listen to me.

Leave me.

Just shut up. - No.

And listen to me. - How dare you!

On whose orders did you publish this?

Telecom deal.

Swiss Bank Accounts. Kickbacks.

Where did you get

all this information?

On whose orders did you publish this?

Pamela Grewal. - Shut up.

Pamela Grewal!

I am not telling you.

What do you think?

She is more powerful than me?

Oh God.

Don't tell me.

Don't tell me.

Is she sleeping with you?

Tell me. Is she sleeping

with you? Tell me!

Shut up. I will kill you.

Monica. You know how much I love you.

Dammit!

I am sorry.

Monica.

Monica.

Listen to me.

You should have married me.

You know how much I love you.

Yet you did this to me.

You.. witch.

You.. witch.

Get out!

Just get out!

I hate you.

Oh no!

Pick up. Pick up. Damn it.

Hello.

Monica.

Don't.. Don't hang up.

You said that you will marry me.

Didn't you say it?

I believed you, idiot.

I betrayed Pam and Vohra for you.

I gave you all the proof.

Why?

Because you said

that you will marry me.

But you went back on your words.

You went back on your words.

You rogue.

You just used me.

Monica.

Just stay.. wherever you are.

Because..

..you have to die later.

Hello.

Hello, don't.. don't.. don't hang up.

Hello.

Hello. Hello.

Damn.
