Interrogation (2025) Movie Script
1
Retd. Justice Vishesh Ishkaran Parashar
is dead.
His body was found
under suspicious circumstances.
The police are questioning
some persons of interest.
Flick on the third switch on the right
and turn off the mobile.
Why did you break into a sweat?
It's not even hot.
I didn't choose this spot
to force you into a confession.
You'd better spill the beans willingly.
Tell only the truth
or you'll land into trouble.
What could be worse than this?
I'm being questioned by the police
at this point in life
when I'm nearing the grave!
Do as you please, sir.
You have a way with words, Bansilal.
But you can't sway me.
Wipe off that sweat and sit.
Tell me about Justice Parashar.
Sir, we all have that one person
who becomes our support system.
That's what Justice
Vishesh Ishkaran Parashar was for me.
His demise has left us orphaned.
We?
Yes, all of us loved him dearly.
Who really loved him
and who hated him?
We're yet to find that out.
How long have you been a security guard?
Around 45 years.
How long do you plan to stay?
Sir, I cant do anything else at this age.
People's importance diminishes with age.
One can only lie awake
waiting for sleep or death.
You're not doing the world
a favour awaiting death.
Spare me that emotional rant.
So, how many years did you two meet?
He used to call me over
to any city he visited.
He'd get me odd jobs.
That's the kind of friendship we shared.
You visited your best friend Justice
Parashar this time too?
I'd meet him every week.
I'd finish duty at 6 pm
then I'd go to the liquor shop
and buy his favourite alcohol.
Then we'd chat over drinks.
He had many stories about people's lives.
He'd narrate stories
until the bottle went dry.
Then he'd go to sleep
so would I.
But Justice Parashar was killed
on Tuesday.
No, sir.
Why would anyone kill
such a sweet soul?
I don't think he was killed.
You have strong opinions, is it?
Why did you visit him that day
when it was not a Saturday?
Couldn't help it.
He asked me to get a bottle by 12
so I did.
- Didn't you ask him the reason?
- I didn't.
Why?
Sir, ones who gives orders
don't like being questioned.
I told you to switch off your phone.
Don't you get it?
I'm sorry, sir.
My grandson's calling.
He gets worried
if I don't keep him informed.
- How old is he?
- 6 years.
We were 6 years old
when I first met the judge.
My father was his servant.
He treated me like family.
That's how we became friends.
We studied in the same class.
Did you have no friends other
than Justice Parashar?
He meant the world to me
as long as he lived.
Until he was killed.
I've heard you're fond of poetry.
That was in the past, not any more.
Recite some lines.
What do I recite?
Once the judge and I were chatting
over drinks.
I came up up these lines there and then.
'This friendship is deeper
than blood relations'
'I live for you'
Wow.
'And I laugh for you'
Too good.
I live for you'
- 'And I laugh for you'
- Wow.
'If you ever need me, I shall die for you'
Wow. Cheers.
Who could have killed an angel like him!
Someone surely stood
to gain from his death.
Which idiot would gain!
You'd better check with Tara.
I will.
What can you tell me about Tara?
I met her for the first time
when she was 7.
The judge raised her with great love
and care.
I feel dizzy.
Be ready for a class
but of a different kind.
Sit down.
Sorry, sir.
You were busy so I thought...
Hope you're not scared.
No, sir.
Why?
There's no lady officer her.
it's just me.
No, sir.
You look like a gentleman.
I am safe with you.
Smart answers
by over smart people don't impress me.
Are you going to Australia?
Yes, sir.
I've applied for a visa.
There's not much time so I'm preparing
for the interview.
This interview will decide
if you'll go to Australia or jail.
Can I have some water?
How about some tea?
Maybe some gin and tonic.
The world won't glance
at it unless it bears flowers.
After a long wait a flower blooms
and it suddenly becomes a thing of beauty.
Everyone vies for that plant
for personal use.
Don't worry, Tara.
Come.
Tell me about your relationship
with Justice Parashar.
He was Justice Parashar for the world
but for me he was my dad.
In fact, I felt like destiny's child
when he found me
What do you mean he found you?
He was a district court judge back then.
He had sentenced my father.
- He was convicted for a case of violence.
- I know.
He was sentenced to life imprisonment.
He died in jail, right?
Yes, sir.
Dad didn't know
the criminal had a daughter.
A child whose mother was no more.
Dad learnt of it from newspapers
and brought me home.
Thus you started living
with Justice Parashar.
No, sir. He got me
into a good convent school.
I lived in that hostel.
Dad would send Yusuf
every week to pick me up.
Yusuf?
My dad's driver.
Dad was very fond of me.
I fractured my leg some years ago.
I couldn't walk properly.
When I got fever,
he forsook everything to tend to me
day and night.
You looked after me.
He didn't want to leave me alone.
Your last meeting with Justice Parashar
happened after a long gap.
You met him on the day he died, correct?
Yes, sir.
I've done a nursing course.
It's in great demand abroad.
Why did you see Justice Parashar that day?
One of my aunt's relative
- wants to marry me...
- Get to the point.
Why did you go to meet
Justice Parashar that day?
I'm getting there, sir.
One of my aunt's relatives wants
to marry me.
The advance amount
he got from the land deal
is missing from his house.
Sir! What do you think?
I'd kill my father figure for 500,000?
Dad loved me a lot.
All I had to do was ask
for money and he'd oblige.
I don't know about others
but Yusuf and I would die for him.
And kill him too, right?
What are you saying, sir?
Yusuf and I were dear to him.
He wouldn't even visit his farm house
without Yusuf.
He'd ask Yusuf to withdraw money
from bank.
No point shedding tears here.
You may go. I will summon you later.
Yusuf Mohammad Sheikh.
Where do you live now?
In Bihar, sir.
You were Justice Parashar's driver, right?
That was when he was a lawyer.
Then he got promoted.
He was given a government vehicle
with a driver.
So, he assigned me with house work.
Why did you quit?
Because of my wife.
I had to go back to Bihar for some reason.
How long did you work for him?
I was his driver for 11...
Chandigarh, Simla 5...
For many years, sir.
It's a long and boring story.
I am in no rush
and you're not leaving either.
Stop staring!
Lower your gaze and start talking.
Start from Chandigarh.
I was 17 when I came here.
I had no job
so I'd wander around hungry and helpless.
Once I stole a hen.
It was sir's hen.
The police caught me
and called the sir to inform him.
He came in and showed his greatness.
He took me home
and gave me driving lessons
and hired me as his driver.
Who even does that!
Golden boy of Bihar,
you quit working for the judge
at your wife's behest.
Then why did you go to his house that day?
He wanted a driver.
Rajan said I'd get double money so I came.
Rajan who?
He was sir's clerk.
Double money to go to Narkanda?
Tara told you that, right?
Bloody whore!
That witch...
Tara doesn't want you to unearth the truth.
She'll mislead you for sure.
She doesn't want people to know
of her evil deeds.
What evil deeds?
There are too many, sir.
Take the school electrician for example.
They had an affair.
She was a flirt.
They eloped.
That got sir worried.
I was in Bhagalpur when he called me.
He said she was in Delhi.
I went to Delhi
and brought her back to Manali.
No use misleading me in Tara's name.
Well,
turn the car around to Narkanda.
What happened?
You were so vocal a while ago.
Tara told me
you used to drive him to Narkanda.
What secret compelled him
to offer double payment?
Sir, I'll be honest.
I came for the double payment.
I was facing bad times in Bhagalpur.
He made me in charge of the farm house.
He said I'll have to ferry him
when he visits Narkanda.
It was double pay for extra hours of duty.
He could've hired anybody to do that.
But he chose you. Why?
Too many things happened in Narkanda, sir.
He told me to handle shady dealings
- he wanted...
- A goon!
Bodyguard.
What did you guard?
- Be honest.
- I am telling the truth.
Sir was being framed
and blackmailed.
Blackmail a judge!
- You're cooking stories now that he's dead.
- No, sir.
After his retirement,
sir took interest in gardens in Narkanda.
I was there too.
He realised that villagers
were embezzling funds.
- So you went to sort that out.
- Yes.
I suggested buying them off
to end the matter for good.
Then you pocketed 500,000 of the land deal
- and took off.
- No, sir!
Sorry. You're mistaken.
Rajan was present when I left.
The clerk?
Vermin! He's the devil incarnate.
Nobody can survive his attack.
Accident?
Yes, sir.
I got hit by a car
on the way to the court.
They had to join my bone surgically
which making it lopsided.
Hello, sir.
Well, when did you join Justice Parashar?
He and I go way back.
I flunked in 10th grade
so I started helping around my dad
in his garage.
Vishesh sir would send his scooter
there for maintenance.
I made sure he got value for his money.
He liked my work.
He asked me to join his office.
He had an employee named Lalit.
I joined as his assistant.
After some days when I was adept
Vishesh sir sacked Lalit.
You sure had some special quality
to impress Justice Parashar.
Sir...
I was an asset to him
and loyal too.
Gayatri madam felt the same.
- Gayatri Parashar?
- Yes, sir.
- Describe her.
- She was nice.
She was really nice.
I attended Vishesh sir's marriage.
Gayatri madam's dad ordered two Benz cars
from Germany for the wedding.
Vishesh sir got the bigger one.
He got Gayatri madam and Benz!
He was one lucky man.
What do you think of Bansilal?
He's great at buttering people up.
He gets his way with his sob story.
He's not a bad guy though.
And...
He said you
and Justice Parashar went way back.
How come you got sacked out of the blue?
Is that what that oaf said?
Bansilal is a fraud, believe me.
He was Yusuf's stealing partner.
They'd steal the original parts
of Benz car
and sell them in black market.
I also got to know
you syphoned off some amount
from the judges' KP Estate fees.
That's how you started
your real estate business.
No, sir.
I swear upon god.
Why would I cheat my guru?
Sir turned a failure into a clerk.
He found a girl who agreed
to marry me despite my handicap.
Suman, my wife, and Gayatri madam
belonged to the same village.
What? Why is your hand shaking?
I'm addicted to alcohol.
This signals it's time to drink.
What do you have?
Rum, neat.
I see. You're a drunk.
I drink to get by, sir.
Suman's demise left me lonely.
Vishesh sir left...
Left? Or you killed him for 500,000?
- No, sir.
- Why did you steal the money?
For your father's funeral?
No, sir.
Why would I steal the money?
Sir, why kill for such a small amount?
Look Rajan,
nothing was broken in the house.
Okay, sir.
There were no signs of forceful entry.
All circumstantial evidence
is against you.
Sir,
ever since Vishesh sir became a judge,
he sentenced many criminals.
It could be any one at all.
Sir, I'm not the culprit.
I'm a poor guy.
May I leave?
You're nearing the grave already.
I can do as I please.
That's what you said, right?
You're made of dust
and to dust you'll return.
'The one who vowed on my friendship'
'the one who claimed to love me'
'can't wait for me to die'
'I was totally wrong about that one'
Yes, sir. Contrary to expectations,
the friend you value above all else
doesn't always reciprocate your feelings.
You wrote about friendship
and hatred too.
Yes, I did long ago.
Where did you find it?
Forget these couplets,
I have all the dirt on you.
Sir,
I'm parched. I need water.
Go on.
Keep it. You'll need it.
Okay.
You said you visited Justice Parashar
casually on Tuesday.
I got a missed call from the judge.
When I called him he asked me
to come over.
Lies.
Keep lying
and you'll convince me otherwise.
Polygraph tests aren't used
for confessions these days.
That phone you're holding is evidence,
our friend and your foe.
Outgoing service on your phone
was suspended one day prior.
Yes, sir,
I couldn't afford to recharge at times.
You studied with Justice Parashar.
He became a judge while
you became a security guard.
You were great friends yet
you had to beg him for help.
My couplets bespeak my feelings, sir.
I was his slave for 60 years.
I was dirt poor.
Who was responsible for my plight?
Justice Vishesh Ishkaran Parashar.
It's easy to malign the dead
who can't speak for himself.
Tell me the truth.
This is the last warning.
I will tell you the truth.
When I was 7 years old
he got his dad to thrash me.
Do you know why?
Because a servant's son called him
by his name.
He was arrogant
while his dad was the beacon of arrogance.
They were tyrants.
He thrashed a 7 year old child!
I was bleeding
and he egged his father to go on.
Helplessly I became his slave
and faced humiliation all along.
But you said you're grateful
they took you in.
Yes, they did. But when you're a slave,
you live on people's mercy.
He'd throw food at me like I was a dog
and then he'd laugh.
Despite all that,
I got better marks than him.
- Really?
- Yes.
So a brilliant child failed
and quit studies!
He compelled me to quit.
He didn't let me take the exams.
Had I taken the exam,
I'd get better marks
and he couldn't bear that.
So he spread rumours in school
that I cheat in exams.
I was expelled from school.
That's how my dreams were shattered.
If you were tormented,
why didn't you leave Justice Parashar?
How could I?
It's said, keep your enemies closer.
Leaving would mean I'd forgiven him.
I didn't want to forgive him.
So, you put up
with humiliation till his death!
Yes but not till his last breath.
When I couldn't take it any more,
I told him what a wicked person he is.
He took me for a fool
and made fun of me.
He was so full of himself that
he looked me in the eye saying,
'Good thing you didn't join the cops,
Bansi.'
'Had you become a cop,
you'd arrest me first.'
'Good you're an illiterate.'
He mocked me shamelessly.
He laughed till he cried.
My ears were bleeding so to say.
I don't what came over me.
I took out my baton and hit his head.
He dropped right there.
What you're saying is
- you killed Justice Parashar.
- Yes.
Knocked him out in one blow.
- You did it alone?
- Yes.
Where did you hit him?
Here...
Here, this spot.
One blow and he dropped dead.
He didn't expect me to do that.
Or I'd have the guts to pull this off.
Where was Tara at that time?
Tara was in the kitchen.
The money from the land deal
was in her care.
You killed Justice Parashar
for that money?
No, sir.
I was desperate to kill him so I did.
I have no regrets.
In fact, I'm glad.
I'm happy you made me confess.
I feel liberated.
You bit the hand that fed you!
I'll give you another chance.
You've lied to me once,
don't try that stunt again.
Tell me honestly what happened that day.
Sir, I've already told you.
I went to discuss a marriage proposal.
After I had lunch with dad,
he went to sleep.
I gave him tea at 4 and left.
So you left at 5 o'clock.
- Yes.
- Was there no maid at home?
She was on leave.
The maid anyway leaves by 2 pm.
So you were there till 6 pm.
Sir, I told you I had a bus to catch at 5.
Can I have one?
Are you okay?
Yeah, just a little uneasy.
You said you left
Justice Parashar's house by 5.
Yes.
Then how did Bansilal see you there at 6?
Is that what he told you?
What if he did?
Sir, I forgot my bag.
I didn't see Bansilal there.
In fact, Yusuf, dad's driver was present.
Dad asked him to drop me to the bus stop.
Why didn't you mention Yusuf earlier?
Well, it slipped my mind.
It is unlikely that he sent you
with Yusuf.
You guys don't see eye to eye.
- Nothing like that.
- Of course it is, Tara.
This started after you eloped
from the hostel
and Yusuf took you back
to Justice Parashar.
Don't you have anything to say?
Yusuf, that bastard!
He told you this, right?
I had no other way to protect myself.
Yusuf knew everything about me.
He used to blackmail me.
I gave him all the money I had
to save my reputation.
Blackmail? But why?
Because he used to molest me
since I turned 15.
Molest?
Why didn't you tell your dad?
He was the one who sent Yusuf
when he couldn't control his lust.
- Oh!
- Yes, sir.
Justice Vishesh Ishkaran Parashar.
But you said he was like a father to you.
Yes, I called that wretch dad for years.
He was not just a devil
he was pure evil.
My life is like cactus
but he kept this cactus confined in a pot
so he could devour it when it blooms.
He was sexually abusive.
He loved my helpless screams.
I even tried to kill myself
but I couldn't.
What role did Yusuf play in this?
When I was 15 years old, I got pregnant.
Parashar learnt of this
so he got me medicines.
But I wasn't lucky the second time.
Yusuf helped him in his evil ways.
Yusuf is no angel either.
He can do anything for money.
You had an affair
with the guy from Delhi.
That's what you took you there.
No, sir. That's a lie.
These are made-up stories.
He send me to Delhi
with Yusuf to get an abortion secretly.
Parashar wanted to save his image.
Why didn't you tell anyone?
- You could've gone to the authorities.
- Authorities?
Seriously?
He was the biggest authority.
Who would believe me anyway?
He was god in everyone's eyes.
Why did you go to see him despite
the past?
He had the key to my future.
Since my childhood,
I was dependent on him for survival.
I finally got the chance to get a job
and leave this country.
You needed Justice Parashar's help
for that.
You tried to take advantage of him.
I took advantage of him?
He never missed an opportunity to take
advantage of me even till his last day.
So what exactly happened that day?
Say it.
I went to discuss my Australian visa
with him.
Australia? You want to leave me?
All right.
I'll help you like I always do.
But only if I sleep with him.
Then he pounced on my like a wolf.
I have to go.
I like this.
Let go.
I grabbed his neck.
What are you doing?
I shoved him towards
the edge of the drawer.
I wanted to kill him many times
but chickened out.
So you killed Justice Parashar?
You know what?
I'm happy I killed him.
I feel liberated.
I can confess it anywhere.
What about the money?
500,000?
Yusuf took off with it.
He promised to dump the body
but he cheated.
He wanted to frame me
and I think he succeeded.
Anyway, if you want a confession,
you have mine.
I'm scared, pull me up.
No, sir!
No!
If I let go, the valley will devour you.
No!
Tell me the truth.
If you oblige...
I killed Parashar.
I was paid to do that.
All of you think you can fool the law.
Meaning?
Bansilal said he killed Justice Parashar.
Tara said the same thing.
Now you...
You all are in cahoots, right?
You were all involved in the murder.
No, sir. Killing that 65 year old drunk
would be a cake walk for me.
I didn't need help.
You killed your master,
the one who saved you from going to jail.
He employed you.
Yes, he saved me from jail
but turned me into a criminal.
By the time I realised it,
I had become his puppet.
Puppets don't get paid.
You didn't do favours for free.
You'd do anything at all for money.
Sir, you have no clue how evil he was.
When he was the district judge,
there was a drugs case from Jaipur.
He took a bribe 120 million
to spare the culprit.
He agreed to give me 1 crore.
I managed everything
I toiled day and night
and set things up.
When it was time to pay,
he threw a small bundle at me.
That's all you deserve.
So you quit?
Sir, he was a wicked one.
He asked me to oversee his work
from my village.
That would do us both good.
The guy from the Jaipur case
was a politician's son.
The judge was 6 months away
from promotion.
He was to become a high court judge.
He acquitted the culprit hastily
and got promoted to high court
without a written verdict.
The new judge reopened the case
and the boy was convicted for 20 years.
Parashar couldn't help
with the new judgement.
The politician has already paid him.
Parashar didn't return the money?
How could he do that, sir?
It was black money.
Parashar didn't want to return the money.
The politician couldn't risk taking
the money back.
So the politician asked you to kill him?
Oh c'mon, sir.
Will I tell you who
paid me millions?
The politician did.
You stole the money from Parashar's house?
How much was it?
300,000.
Where's the remaining 200,000?
Rajan has it.
He too came that day.
Parashar called him to give money.
- Did you meet him?
- Yes, I did.
When I got there, Parashar was drunk.
Yet Rajan egged him to drink more.
He drank a lot.
I was happy
because things got easier for me.
I hit him on the head
and the scoundrel died.
I'll tell you this, sir.
I say this with all honesty.
Of the 5 million fees I got to kill him,
I felt like giving a million to Rajan.
Really. Do you know why?
Had he not gotten him drunk,
I wouldn't get lucky.
What Rajan did was amazing.
Sir...
Sir...
You're blood has turned to water.
You survived your drinking spree
but you won't survive
a fall in this water!
What happened?
All sober now?
Don't you have a family to care for?
You drink all day.
I wasn't always like this, sir.
I told you that.
Vishesh sir got me married to Suman.
One day she left for work
and didn't return.
A drunk rich man killed her under his car.
She died before reaching the hospital.
Do you live alone since her death?
Nalini.
She worked for Vishesh.
That scoundrel didn't spare her either.
She had borrowed a huge amount
from him years ago.
She couldn't repay the sum.
I felt pity for her, sir.
Eventually I developed feelings
so did she.
He saw us getting close.
He couldn't bear it, sir.
When things got serious,
I told Vishesh I want to marry Nalini.
Upon hearing that
he sexually abused her all the more.
Then Nalini stopped coming
to work all of a sudden.
I went to her house looking for her.
Nalini said Vishesh
doesn't mind us getting married
but he has some conditions.
Nalini would have to serve
Vishesh even after marriage.
They'd continue to have relations.
That's how she'd have to repay her loan.
What she told me next
made my blood boil.
What did she say?
She said Vishesh had such
a deal with Suman too.
She too was serving him
to repay her loan.
She belonged to Gayatridevi's village.
To hide their illicit relationship,
he forced Suman to marry me.
She didn't love me, sir.
She didn't love me.
Since that day
I quit his job.
I quit working for him.
What could I do, sir?
I couldn't stop thinking
what Nalini told me.
I couldn't sleep.
I'd stay up all night.
I had to drink two bottles
to be able to sleep.
Once I got drunk
and threatened to expose him.
Expose what?
Vishesh's wife Gayatridevi died
after 8 years of marriage.
I'm the only witness that
it wasn't an accident.
It was a murder.
Vishesh's greed for property turned him
into a monster.
Why did he spare your life?
You were a threat to him.
Why use force to silence
for a feeble man?
He had a talk with me
explaining how he can turn
a witness into a culprit.
He'd get me convicted!
What could I do, sir?
I was helpless.
I had no choice but to keep mum.
In fact, he killed his own child.
Gayatridevi was 5 months pregnant.
Does he have no other child?
He does, a worthless son.
What does he do?
He studied law at his father's behest
but hasn't fought a case yet.
He waits in hope at Delhi high court.
He's bent on being a self-made man.
How is his relation with Justice Parashar?
He hardly visits home.
I've heard he lives in Delhi
with his girlfriend.
Her name is Neha.
Justice Parashar was
to give you 200,000 that day.
Says who?
That rascal Yusuf, right?
Yusuf was his evil accomplice.
That day they were headed
to Narkanda to meet Leena.
Leena who?
Leena, Vishesh's latest flame.
In fact, she used to live
at Vishesh's farm house.
You didn't answer my question.
Why did he call you that day?
Vishesh didn't call me.
I went there by myself.
I wanted 15,000 from him
to clear dues in a bar.
He insulted me yet again.
You're here! You want money to drink!
One little mistake...
He taunted me
and I recalled what Nalini told me.
Suman's screams and squeals...
My heart started racing
and my blood began to boil.
I picked a stick and struck him.
He stopped moving.
Be warned, Rajan.
This can be taken as your confession.
Yes.
I killed him.
I did.
If you try to obstruct a flowing river
it will stay calm for a while
but if you keep obstructing it
the water gushes over dangerous limits
causing destruction.
That's what happened to me.
I ran out of patience.
I did.
I killed him.
I killed him.
I killed him.
That was great.
Excellent drama.
What do you think?
You can fool the law with this acting?
Yes, you can fool the law.
Leave the rest to me.
This was the best rehearsal so far.
Superb acting.
Not only in this room
but you performed well
in outer conditions too.
The real test will be acting
with conviction before the interrogator.
The situation will be tougher then.
They won't necessarily summon you
in the same order as I did.
This is why I showed you
these video tapes.
So be prepared.
Some points to remember.
Work on your body language.
Uncle Bansi,
you acted well about your grandson's call.
But you got nervous. That's a giveaway.
Yusuf, expert interrogators know
only hardened criminals feign innocence.
Be careful. Don't over do it.
Tara, you mentioned 500,000.
Don't do it.
Don't pick the book either.
These things can offend the interrogator.
- And Rajan.
- Yes?
Let you hand shake naturally.
Don't go overboard.
Tara associated her life to cactus.
That was a good trick.
Such information
can diver the interrogators.
The police will feel they're interrogating
but it's you
who will drive the interrogation.
Ready?
Yes, sir.
No, you guys needn't take the blame.
I won't live long anyway.
What are you saying, uncle Bansi?
You can't go to jail at this age.
That man destroyed me
but you guys helped me.
I won't get a death sentence.
Please stay away from this.
No, Tara.
When I look back,
I realise I've done many wrong things.
It was god's grace
that saved me from getting jailed.
Now its time to repent.
Allah, forgive me for my sins.
Amen.
Amen.
One more thing, Tara.
You must go to Australia.
What about that plan?
I waited for many years.
Few more months won't matter.
Moreover,
the law is lenient towards women.
I'll be out soon.
Are you done?
Listen up, I will go to jail.
What are you saying, Rajan?
Your grandson means the world to you.
Can you stay away from him?
Spend the rest of your days
with him not in jail.
Tara, you're finally free.
Why get caged again?
This is your time to fly.
Yusuf, my brother,
your wife prays
for your well-being every day.
Bloody hell...
I mean, her mother is with her.
Yes but she waits for your every day.
Right?
You have someone to wait for you.
Who do I have? No wife or kids.
How long will I rely on alcohol?
I deserve to get jailed.
Don't you dare try this trick ever again.
Sacrifice your life and get jailed!
Stop this drama.
Each of you will get 2.5 million.
There are 99% chances the matter will end
in the first leg of investigation.
Case closed.
There will be no sign of the murder weapon
or blood spots
because the right amount of pressure
will cause internal injury.
Beware, medulla oblongata.
The small brain.
One blow on that can be fatal.
The police will call this accidental death
and shut the case.
But there's 1% chance
for things to get further.
I will prepare you
for the second round of interrogation.
The first one who gets called
for the second round will confess.
Then comes judicial custody.
I mean jail.
I know the cons of getting jailed.
What are the pros?
One person will rot in jail for life
with 2.5 million
while the others go scot free.
- Right.
- It's simple.
The one who goes to jail
should get more money.
10 million.
The one who gets jailed
will get 4 times more money.
What use is the money in jail?
Do you have a plan to get us out of jail?
Yes,
how will I use the money if I'm in jail?
I won't go to Australia.
My future will be ruined.
It's my responsibility
to get you acquitted.
I'll hire the best lawyer in the country.
How will a lawyer help if we confess?
Suo motu, willing confession.
A lawyer will approach you
before the hearing.
You will tell him the police coerced
you to confess to the crime.
On humanitarian grounds,
that lawyer will take up your case.
That lawyer
will be secretly appointed by me.
He will delude the court
with complicated legalities.
He will mislead them.
They will find no evidence against you
nor witness.
It will take some months
but you'll surely get bail.
The public and media
will target the police.
One more thing, the person
to be called in second round
has to confess to the crime.
Backing out is not an option.
If you don't confess,
I will become a suspect.
If I land into trouble, you will too.
If I can spend so much
to get you out of jail,
it will take way less
to get you jailed for life.
- Sorry, sir.
- Sorry, sir.
Sorry.
After all the planning and rehearsals,
you want to ruin it out of temptation!
You're going to be millionaires
and lead a great life.
Trust me. I stand by you.
Nobody should know that I am involved
because I will make an appeal
for investigation.
The time has come.
He has to die.
My father
Justice Vishesh Ishkaran Parashar
has to die.
I'm sure he's sleeping peacefully.
While I...
The moment I shut my eyes
I get the same dream over and over.
My mother and her unborn child
burning to their death!
Their screams keep me awake.
This dream jolts me awake each time.
I know who's to blame here.
My father.
''Mom, this is revenge for you and me''
''Mom, this is the path for me''
''This is my decision''
''It's time to punish the culprit''
''How long will he hide in the dark?''
''It's up to us to conclude this''
''There comes a time in life''
''when darkness dispels making way
for the morn''
''It's pay back time''
''It's time to punish the culprit''
Rolling, ma'am.
Retd. Vishesh Ishkaran Parashar's
sudden death left the city shocked.
His maid called the police
after finding his body.
As per the police,
4 people met him yesterday,
Yusuf Sheikh, Rajan Saini,
Bansilal Kashyap
and his adopted daughter Tara.
Only one MO came to light
from the crime spot.
- What?
- Cane that is used to hit kids in school.
- Cane?
- How can that be a murder weapon?
Who knows if it's really a murder!
Sir...
Sir...
Is it a murder?
Back off.
- Sir...
- You can't go in.
- Do it.
- Yes, sir.
- Did you get all details?
- Yes, sir.
Any criminal history or police record?
No, sir. They are all clean.
- Forensics?
- Upstairs.
What's your take on seeing the body?
No traces of blood, sir.
It could be an internal injury.
What's about the hushed tones?
They're investigating, sir.
Keep these 4 suspects apart.
I don't want them to talk to each other.
- Okay, sir.
- Keep them apart.
- Sir.
- Come here.
Here.
Move that way.
Come.
Hello, sir.
Shekhawat.
Vishal.
I'm sorry for your loss, Vishal.
I'll regret all my life that
I didn't spend enough time with him.
He was the only parent I had.
I will miss him a lot.
I'm sure you will.
I know that this is not the right time
but I have some questions.
Please.
There's hardly any circumstantial evidence
but I suspect foul play.
Did Justice Parashar have enemies?
Could be.
I mean, he sentenced many criminals.
It could be anyone.
Do you know the 4 people
who met him yesterday?
Yes.
They were with dad since many years.
Who was the closest?
They were all close, sir.
Even so.
Tara.
Dad raised her like a daughter.
So far we know nobody came home apart
from those 4 people.
Are you sceptical about any of them?
No.
- Get the report quickly.
- Okay.
- Line them up.
- Yes, sir.
Stand in a line here.
Somebody other than
the maid informed the police
about Justice Parashar's death.
Did any of you make that call?
Which number was it, sir?
It was an Internet call.
We're tracing it.
- Male or female?
- It could be anybody.
The caller used a voice modulation app.
You think one of them...
That's what I'm here to find out, Vishal.
- Bansilal.
- Yes?
I know for a fact you 4 are in cahoots.
Or one of you did this.
Who did it, why and how?
We'll find out.
Rather you tell me.
No, sir. That's not true.
I will save you.
You won't be harmed.
Just tell me who among them did it.
I promise to save you.
Sir, I won't live long.
I'm closer to the grave.
Do as you please.
As for the judge, who killed him...
I don't know who killed him.
These three also worshipped the judge.
We were really close.
I was with him since childhood.
Stop crying.
How can I not cry, sir?
Take that plant for example.
It represents my life.
Thorns all over.
One day a colourful flower blooms
and to brighten up life
and change things...
''Mom, this is revenge for you and me''
Yes, Neha, it's bull's eye.
They were scared to know
about the Internet call.
They think one of them ratted them out.
Now they'll do their best
to save their skins.
They can't ruin the game out of greed.
They have no choice but to win.
Delete all traces of the Internet call.
See you soon.
Vishal,
see you soon too.
Maybe, maybe not.
Retd. Justice Vishesh Ishkaran Parashar
is dead.
His body was found
under suspicious circumstances.
The police are questioning
some persons of interest.
Flick on the third switch on the right
and turn off the mobile.
Why did you break into a sweat?
It's not even hot.
I didn't choose this spot
to force you into a confession.
You'd better spill the beans willingly.
Tell only the truth
or you'll land into trouble.
What could be worse than this?
I'm being questioned by the police
at this point in life
when I'm nearing the grave!
Do as you please, sir.
You have a way with words, Bansilal.
But you can't sway me.
Wipe off that sweat and sit.
Tell me about Justice Parashar.
Sir, we all have that one person
who becomes our support system.
That's what Justice
Vishesh Ishkaran Parashar was for me.
His demise has left us orphaned.
We?
Yes, all of us loved him dearly.
Who really loved him
and who hated him?
We're yet to find that out.
How long have you been a security guard?
Around 45 years.
How long do you plan to stay?
Sir, I cant do anything else at this age.
People's importance diminishes with age.
One can only lie awake
waiting for sleep or death.
You're not doing the world
a favour awaiting death.
Spare me that emotional rant.
So, how many years did you two meet?
He used to call me over
to any city he visited.
He'd get me odd jobs.
That's the kind of friendship we shared.
You visited your best friend Justice
Parashar this time too?
I'd meet him every week.
I'd finish duty at 6 pm
then I'd go to the liquor shop
and buy his favourite alcohol.
Then we'd chat over drinks.
He had many stories about people's lives.
He'd narrate stories
until the bottle went dry.
Then he'd go to sleep
so would I.
But Justice Parashar was killed
on Tuesday.
No, sir.
Why would anyone kill
such a sweet soul?
I don't think he was killed.
You have strong opinions, is it?
Why did you visit him that day
when it was not a Saturday?
Couldn't help it.
He asked me to get a bottle by 12
so I did.
- Didn't you ask him the reason?
- I didn't.
Why?
Sir, ones who gives orders
don't like being questioned.
I told you to switch off your phone.
Don't you get it?
I'm sorry, sir.
My grandson's calling.
He gets worried
if I don't keep him informed.
- How old is he?
- 6 years.
We were 6 years old
when I first met the judge.
My father was his servant.
He treated me like family.
That's how we became friends.
We studied in the same class.
Did you have no friends other
than Justice Parashar?
He meant the world to me
as long as he lived.
Until he was killed.
I've heard you're fond of poetry.
That was in the past, not any more.
Recite some lines.
What do I recite?
Once the judge and I were chatting
over drinks.
I came up up these lines there and then.
'This friendship is deeper
than blood relations'
'I live for you'
Wow.
'And I laugh for you'
Too good.
I live for you'
- 'And I laugh for you'
- Wow.
'If you ever need me, I shall die for you'
Wow. Cheers.
Who could have killed an angel like him!
Someone surely stood
to gain from his death.
Which idiot would gain!
You'd better check with Tara.
I will.
What can you tell me about Tara?
I met her for the first time
when she was 7.
The judge raised her with great love
and care.
I feel dizzy.
Be ready for a class
but of a different kind.
Sit down.
Sorry, sir.
You were busy so I thought...
Hope you're not scared.
No, sir.
Why?
There's no lady officer her.
it's just me.
No, sir.
You look like a gentleman.
I am safe with you.
Smart answers
by over smart people don't impress me.
Are you going to Australia?
Yes, sir.
I've applied for a visa.
There's not much time so I'm preparing
for the interview.
This interview will decide
if you'll go to Australia or jail.
Can I have some water?
How about some tea?
Maybe some gin and tonic.
The world won't glance
at it unless it bears flowers.
After a long wait a flower blooms
and it suddenly becomes a thing of beauty.
Everyone vies for that plant
for personal use.
Don't worry, Tara.
Come.
Tell me about your relationship
with Justice Parashar.
He was Justice Parashar for the world
but for me he was my dad.
In fact, I felt like destiny's child
when he found me
What do you mean he found you?
He was a district court judge back then.
He had sentenced my father.
- He was convicted for a case of violence.
- I know.
He was sentenced to life imprisonment.
He died in jail, right?
Yes, sir.
Dad didn't know
the criminal had a daughter.
A child whose mother was no more.
Dad learnt of it from newspapers
and brought me home.
Thus you started living
with Justice Parashar.
No, sir. He got me
into a good convent school.
I lived in that hostel.
Dad would send Yusuf
every week to pick me up.
Yusuf?
My dad's driver.
Dad was very fond of me.
I fractured my leg some years ago.
I couldn't walk properly.
When I got fever,
he forsook everything to tend to me
day and night.
You looked after me.
He didn't want to leave me alone.
Your last meeting with Justice Parashar
happened after a long gap.
You met him on the day he died, correct?
Yes, sir.
I've done a nursing course.
It's in great demand abroad.
Why did you see Justice Parashar that day?
One of my aunt's relative
- wants to marry me...
- Get to the point.
Why did you go to meet
Justice Parashar that day?
I'm getting there, sir.
One of my aunt's relatives wants
to marry me.
The advance amount
he got from the land deal
is missing from his house.
Sir! What do you think?
I'd kill my father figure for 500,000?
Dad loved me a lot.
All I had to do was ask
for money and he'd oblige.
I don't know about others
but Yusuf and I would die for him.
And kill him too, right?
What are you saying, sir?
Yusuf and I were dear to him.
He wouldn't even visit his farm house
without Yusuf.
He'd ask Yusuf to withdraw money
from bank.
No point shedding tears here.
You may go. I will summon you later.
Yusuf Mohammad Sheikh.
Where do you live now?
In Bihar, sir.
You were Justice Parashar's driver, right?
That was when he was a lawyer.
Then he got promoted.
He was given a government vehicle
with a driver.
So, he assigned me with house work.
Why did you quit?
Because of my wife.
I had to go back to Bihar for some reason.
How long did you work for him?
I was his driver for 11...
Chandigarh, Simla 5...
For many years, sir.
It's a long and boring story.
I am in no rush
and you're not leaving either.
Stop staring!
Lower your gaze and start talking.
Start from Chandigarh.
I was 17 when I came here.
I had no job
so I'd wander around hungry and helpless.
Once I stole a hen.
It was sir's hen.
The police caught me
and called the sir to inform him.
He came in and showed his greatness.
He took me home
and gave me driving lessons
and hired me as his driver.
Who even does that!
Golden boy of Bihar,
you quit working for the judge
at your wife's behest.
Then why did you go to his house that day?
He wanted a driver.
Rajan said I'd get double money so I came.
Rajan who?
He was sir's clerk.
Double money to go to Narkanda?
Tara told you that, right?
Bloody whore!
That witch...
Tara doesn't want you to unearth the truth.
She'll mislead you for sure.
She doesn't want people to know
of her evil deeds.
What evil deeds?
There are too many, sir.
Take the school electrician for example.
They had an affair.
She was a flirt.
They eloped.
That got sir worried.
I was in Bhagalpur when he called me.
He said she was in Delhi.
I went to Delhi
and brought her back to Manali.
No use misleading me in Tara's name.
Well,
turn the car around to Narkanda.
What happened?
You were so vocal a while ago.
Tara told me
you used to drive him to Narkanda.
What secret compelled him
to offer double payment?
Sir, I'll be honest.
I came for the double payment.
I was facing bad times in Bhagalpur.
He made me in charge of the farm house.
He said I'll have to ferry him
when he visits Narkanda.
It was double pay for extra hours of duty.
He could've hired anybody to do that.
But he chose you. Why?
Too many things happened in Narkanda, sir.
He told me to handle shady dealings
- he wanted...
- A goon!
Bodyguard.
What did you guard?
- Be honest.
- I am telling the truth.
Sir was being framed
and blackmailed.
Blackmail a judge!
- You're cooking stories now that he's dead.
- No, sir.
After his retirement,
sir took interest in gardens in Narkanda.
I was there too.
He realised that villagers
were embezzling funds.
- So you went to sort that out.
- Yes.
I suggested buying them off
to end the matter for good.
Then you pocketed 500,000 of the land deal
- and took off.
- No, sir!
Sorry. You're mistaken.
Rajan was present when I left.
The clerk?
Vermin! He's the devil incarnate.
Nobody can survive his attack.
Accident?
Yes, sir.
I got hit by a car
on the way to the court.
They had to join my bone surgically
which making it lopsided.
Hello, sir.
Well, when did you join Justice Parashar?
He and I go way back.
I flunked in 10th grade
so I started helping around my dad
in his garage.
Vishesh sir would send his scooter
there for maintenance.
I made sure he got value for his money.
He liked my work.
He asked me to join his office.
He had an employee named Lalit.
I joined as his assistant.
After some days when I was adept
Vishesh sir sacked Lalit.
You sure had some special quality
to impress Justice Parashar.
Sir...
I was an asset to him
and loyal too.
Gayatri madam felt the same.
- Gayatri Parashar?
- Yes, sir.
- Describe her.
- She was nice.
She was really nice.
I attended Vishesh sir's marriage.
Gayatri madam's dad ordered two Benz cars
from Germany for the wedding.
Vishesh sir got the bigger one.
He got Gayatri madam and Benz!
He was one lucky man.
What do you think of Bansilal?
He's great at buttering people up.
He gets his way with his sob story.
He's not a bad guy though.
And...
He said you
and Justice Parashar went way back.
How come you got sacked out of the blue?
Is that what that oaf said?
Bansilal is a fraud, believe me.
He was Yusuf's stealing partner.
They'd steal the original parts
of Benz car
and sell them in black market.
I also got to know
you syphoned off some amount
from the judges' KP Estate fees.
That's how you started
your real estate business.
No, sir.
I swear upon god.
Why would I cheat my guru?
Sir turned a failure into a clerk.
He found a girl who agreed
to marry me despite my handicap.
Suman, my wife, and Gayatri madam
belonged to the same village.
What? Why is your hand shaking?
I'm addicted to alcohol.
This signals it's time to drink.
What do you have?
Rum, neat.
I see. You're a drunk.
I drink to get by, sir.
Suman's demise left me lonely.
Vishesh sir left...
Left? Or you killed him for 500,000?
- No, sir.
- Why did you steal the money?
For your father's funeral?
No, sir.
Why would I steal the money?
Sir, why kill for such a small amount?
Look Rajan,
nothing was broken in the house.
Okay, sir.
There were no signs of forceful entry.
All circumstantial evidence
is against you.
Sir,
ever since Vishesh sir became a judge,
he sentenced many criminals.
It could be any one at all.
Sir, I'm not the culprit.
I'm a poor guy.
May I leave?
You're nearing the grave already.
I can do as I please.
That's what you said, right?
You're made of dust
and to dust you'll return.
'The one who vowed on my friendship'
'the one who claimed to love me'
'can't wait for me to die'
'I was totally wrong about that one'
Yes, sir. Contrary to expectations,
the friend you value above all else
doesn't always reciprocate your feelings.
You wrote about friendship
and hatred too.
Yes, I did long ago.
Where did you find it?
Forget these couplets,
I have all the dirt on you.
Sir,
I'm parched. I need water.
Go on.
Keep it. You'll need it.
Okay.
You said you visited Justice Parashar
casually on Tuesday.
I got a missed call from the judge.
When I called him he asked me
to come over.
Lies.
Keep lying
and you'll convince me otherwise.
Polygraph tests aren't used
for confessions these days.
That phone you're holding is evidence,
our friend and your foe.
Outgoing service on your phone
was suspended one day prior.
Yes, sir,
I couldn't afford to recharge at times.
You studied with Justice Parashar.
He became a judge while
you became a security guard.
You were great friends yet
you had to beg him for help.
My couplets bespeak my feelings, sir.
I was his slave for 60 years.
I was dirt poor.
Who was responsible for my plight?
Justice Vishesh Ishkaran Parashar.
It's easy to malign the dead
who can't speak for himself.
Tell me the truth.
This is the last warning.
I will tell you the truth.
When I was 7 years old
he got his dad to thrash me.
Do you know why?
Because a servant's son called him
by his name.
He was arrogant
while his dad was the beacon of arrogance.
They were tyrants.
He thrashed a 7 year old child!
I was bleeding
and he egged his father to go on.
Helplessly I became his slave
and faced humiliation all along.
But you said you're grateful
they took you in.
Yes, they did. But when you're a slave,
you live on people's mercy.
He'd throw food at me like I was a dog
and then he'd laugh.
Despite all that,
I got better marks than him.
- Really?
- Yes.
So a brilliant child failed
and quit studies!
He compelled me to quit.
He didn't let me take the exams.
Had I taken the exam,
I'd get better marks
and he couldn't bear that.
So he spread rumours in school
that I cheat in exams.
I was expelled from school.
That's how my dreams were shattered.
If you were tormented,
why didn't you leave Justice Parashar?
How could I?
It's said, keep your enemies closer.
Leaving would mean I'd forgiven him.
I didn't want to forgive him.
So, you put up
with humiliation till his death!
Yes but not till his last breath.
When I couldn't take it any more,
I told him what a wicked person he is.
He took me for a fool
and made fun of me.
He was so full of himself that
he looked me in the eye saying,
'Good thing you didn't join the cops,
Bansi.'
'Had you become a cop,
you'd arrest me first.'
'Good you're an illiterate.'
He mocked me shamelessly.
He laughed till he cried.
My ears were bleeding so to say.
I don't what came over me.
I took out my baton and hit his head.
He dropped right there.
What you're saying is
- you killed Justice Parashar.
- Yes.
Knocked him out in one blow.
- You did it alone?
- Yes.
Where did you hit him?
Here...
Here, this spot.
One blow and he dropped dead.
He didn't expect me to do that.
Or I'd have the guts to pull this off.
Where was Tara at that time?
Tara was in the kitchen.
The money from the land deal
was in her care.
You killed Justice Parashar
for that money?
No, sir.
I was desperate to kill him so I did.
I have no regrets.
In fact, I'm glad.
I'm happy you made me confess.
I feel liberated.
You bit the hand that fed you!
I'll give you another chance.
You've lied to me once,
don't try that stunt again.
Tell me honestly what happened that day.
Sir, I've already told you.
I went to discuss a marriage proposal.
After I had lunch with dad,
he went to sleep.
I gave him tea at 4 and left.
So you left at 5 o'clock.
- Yes.
- Was there no maid at home?
She was on leave.
The maid anyway leaves by 2 pm.
So you were there till 6 pm.
Sir, I told you I had a bus to catch at 5.
Can I have one?
Are you okay?
Yeah, just a little uneasy.
You said you left
Justice Parashar's house by 5.
Yes.
Then how did Bansilal see you there at 6?
Is that what he told you?
What if he did?
Sir, I forgot my bag.
I didn't see Bansilal there.
In fact, Yusuf, dad's driver was present.
Dad asked him to drop me to the bus stop.
Why didn't you mention Yusuf earlier?
Well, it slipped my mind.
It is unlikely that he sent you
with Yusuf.
You guys don't see eye to eye.
- Nothing like that.
- Of course it is, Tara.
This started after you eloped
from the hostel
and Yusuf took you back
to Justice Parashar.
Don't you have anything to say?
Yusuf, that bastard!
He told you this, right?
I had no other way to protect myself.
Yusuf knew everything about me.
He used to blackmail me.
I gave him all the money I had
to save my reputation.
Blackmail? But why?
Because he used to molest me
since I turned 15.
Molest?
Why didn't you tell your dad?
He was the one who sent Yusuf
when he couldn't control his lust.
- Oh!
- Yes, sir.
Justice Vishesh Ishkaran Parashar.
But you said he was like a father to you.
Yes, I called that wretch dad for years.
He was not just a devil
he was pure evil.
My life is like cactus
but he kept this cactus confined in a pot
so he could devour it when it blooms.
He was sexually abusive.
He loved my helpless screams.
I even tried to kill myself
but I couldn't.
What role did Yusuf play in this?
When I was 15 years old, I got pregnant.
Parashar learnt of this
so he got me medicines.
But I wasn't lucky the second time.
Yusuf helped him in his evil ways.
Yusuf is no angel either.
He can do anything for money.
You had an affair
with the guy from Delhi.
That's what you took you there.
No, sir. That's a lie.
These are made-up stories.
He send me to Delhi
with Yusuf to get an abortion secretly.
Parashar wanted to save his image.
Why didn't you tell anyone?
- You could've gone to the authorities.
- Authorities?
Seriously?
He was the biggest authority.
Who would believe me anyway?
He was god in everyone's eyes.
Why did you go to see him despite
the past?
He had the key to my future.
Since my childhood,
I was dependent on him for survival.
I finally got the chance to get a job
and leave this country.
You needed Justice Parashar's help
for that.
You tried to take advantage of him.
I took advantage of him?
He never missed an opportunity to take
advantage of me even till his last day.
So what exactly happened that day?
Say it.
I went to discuss my Australian visa
with him.
Australia? You want to leave me?
All right.
I'll help you like I always do.
But only if I sleep with him.
Then he pounced on my like a wolf.
I have to go.
I like this.
Let go.
I grabbed his neck.
What are you doing?
I shoved him towards
the edge of the drawer.
I wanted to kill him many times
but chickened out.
So you killed Justice Parashar?
You know what?
I'm happy I killed him.
I feel liberated.
I can confess it anywhere.
What about the money?
500,000?
Yusuf took off with it.
He promised to dump the body
but he cheated.
He wanted to frame me
and I think he succeeded.
Anyway, if you want a confession,
you have mine.
I'm scared, pull me up.
No, sir!
No!
If I let go, the valley will devour you.
No!
Tell me the truth.
If you oblige...
I killed Parashar.
I was paid to do that.
All of you think you can fool the law.
Meaning?
Bansilal said he killed Justice Parashar.
Tara said the same thing.
Now you...
You all are in cahoots, right?
You were all involved in the murder.
No, sir. Killing that 65 year old drunk
would be a cake walk for me.
I didn't need help.
You killed your master,
the one who saved you from going to jail.
He employed you.
Yes, he saved me from jail
but turned me into a criminal.
By the time I realised it,
I had become his puppet.
Puppets don't get paid.
You didn't do favours for free.
You'd do anything at all for money.
Sir, you have no clue how evil he was.
When he was the district judge,
there was a drugs case from Jaipur.
He took a bribe 120 million
to spare the culprit.
He agreed to give me 1 crore.
I managed everything
I toiled day and night
and set things up.
When it was time to pay,
he threw a small bundle at me.
That's all you deserve.
So you quit?
Sir, he was a wicked one.
He asked me to oversee his work
from my village.
That would do us both good.
The guy from the Jaipur case
was a politician's son.
The judge was 6 months away
from promotion.
He was to become a high court judge.
He acquitted the culprit hastily
and got promoted to high court
without a written verdict.
The new judge reopened the case
and the boy was convicted for 20 years.
Parashar couldn't help
with the new judgement.
The politician has already paid him.
Parashar didn't return the money?
How could he do that, sir?
It was black money.
Parashar didn't want to return the money.
The politician couldn't risk taking
the money back.
So the politician asked you to kill him?
Oh c'mon, sir.
Will I tell you who
paid me millions?
The politician did.
You stole the money from Parashar's house?
How much was it?
300,000.
Where's the remaining 200,000?
Rajan has it.
He too came that day.
Parashar called him to give money.
- Did you meet him?
- Yes, I did.
When I got there, Parashar was drunk.
Yet Rajan egged him to drink more.
He drank a lot.
I was happy
because things got easier for me.
I hit him on the head
and the scoundrel died.
I'll tell you this, sir.
I say this with all honesty.
Of the 5 million fees I got to kill him,
I felt like giving a million to Rajan.
Really. Do you know why?
Had he not gotten him drunk,
I wouldn't get lucky.
What Rajan did was amazing.
Sir...
Sir...
You're blood has turned to water.
You survived your drinking spree
but you won't survive
a fall in this water!
What happened?
All sober now?
Don't you have a family to care for?
You drink all day.
I wasn't always like this, sir.
I told you that.
Vishesh sir got me married to Suman.
One day she left for work
and didn't return.
A drunk rich man killed her under his car.
She died before reaching the hospital.
Do you live alone since her death?
Nalini.
She worked for Vishesh.
That scoundrel didn't spare her either.
She had borrowed a huge amount
from him years ago.
She couldn't repay the sum.
I felt pity for her, sir.
Eventually I developed feelings
so did she.
He saw us getting close.
He couldn't bear it, sir.
When things got serious,
I told Vishesh I want to marry Nalini.
Upon hearing that
he sexually abused her all the more.
Then Nalini stopped coming
to work all of a sudden.
I went to her house looking for her.
Nalini said Vishesh
doesn't mind us getting married
but he has some conditions.
Nalini would have to serve
Vishesh even after marriage.
They'd continue to have relations.
That's how she'd have to repay her loan.
What she told me next
made my blood boil.
What did she say?
She said Vishesh had such
a deal with Suman too.
She too was serving him
to repay her loan.
She belonged to Gayatridevi's village.
To hide their illicit relationship,
he forced Suman to marry me.
She didn't love me, sir.
She didn't love me.
Since that day
I quit his job.
I quit working for him.
What could I do, sir?
I couldn't stop thinking
what Nalini told me.
I couldn't sleep.
I'd stay up all night.
I had to drink two bottles
to be able to sleep.
Once I got drunk
and threatened to expose him.
Expose what?
Vishesh's wife Gayatridevi died
after 8 years of marriage.
I'm the only witness that
it wasn't an accident.
It was a murder.
Vishesh's greed for property turned him
into a monster.
Why did he spare your life?
You were a threat to him.
Why use force to silence
for a feeble man?
He had a talk with me
explaining how he can turn
a witness into a culprit.
He'd get me convicted!
What could I do, sir?
I was helpless.
I had no choice but to keep mum.
In fact, he killed his own child.
Gayatridevi was 5 months pregnant.
Does he have no other child?
He does, a worthless son.
What does he do?
He studied law at his father's behest
but hasn't fought a case yet.
He waits in hope at Delhi high court.
He's bent on being a self-made man.
How is his relation with Justice Parashar?
He hardly visits home.
I've heard he lives in Delhi
with his girlfriend.
Her name is Neha.
Justice Parashar was
to give you 200,000 that day.
Says who?
That rascal Yusuf, right?
Yusuf was his evil accomplice.
That day they were headed
to Narkanda to meet Leena.
Leena who?
Leena, Vishesh's latest flame.
In fact, she used to live
at Vishesh's farm house.
You didn't answer my question.
Why did he call you that day?
Vishesh didn't call me.
I went there by myself.
I wanted 15,000 from him
to clear dues in a bar.
He insulted me yet again.
You're here! You want money to drink!
One little mistake...
He taunted me
and I recalled what Nalini told me.
Suman's screams and squeals...
My heart started racing
and my blood began to boil.
I picked a stick and struck him.
He stopped moving.
Be warned, Rajan.
This can be taken as your confession.
Yes.
I killed him.
I did.
If you try to obstruct a flowing river
it will stay calm for a while
but if you keep obstructing it
the water gushes over dangerous limits
causing destruction.
That's what happened to me.
I ran out of patience.
I did.
I killed him.
I killed him.
I killed him.
That was great.
Excellent drama.
What do you think?
You can fool the law with this acting?
Yes, you can fool the law.
Leave the rest to me.
This was the best rehearsal so far.
Superb acting.
Not only in this room
but you performed well
in outer conditions too.
The real test will be acting
with conviction before the interrogator.
The situation will be tougher then.
They won't necessarily summon you
in the same order as I did.
This is why I showed you
these video tapes.
So be prepared.
Some points to remember.
Work on your body language.
Uncle Bansi,
you acted well about your grandson's call.
But you got nervous. That's a giveaway.
Yusuf, expert interrogators know
only hardened criminals feign innocence.
Be careful. Don't over do it.
Tara, you mentioned 500,000.
Don't do it.
Don't pick the book either.
These things can offend the interrogator.
- And Rajan.
- Yes?
Let you hand shake naturally.
Don't go overboard.
Tara associated her life to cactus.
That was a good trick.
Such information
can diver the interrogators.
The police will feel they're interrogating
but it's you
who will drive the interrogation.
Ready?
Yes, sir.
No, you guys needn't take the blame.
I won't live long anyway.
What are you saying, uncle Bansi?
You can't go to jail at this age.
That man destroyed me
but you guys helped me.
I won't get a death sentence.
Please stay away from this.
No, Tara.
When I look back,
I realise I've done many wrong things.
It was god's grace
that saved me from getting jailed.
Now its time to repent.
Allah, forgive me for my sins.
Amen.
Amen.
One more thing, Tara.
You must go to Australia.
What about that plan?
I waited for many years.
Few more months won't matter.
Moreover,
the law is lenient towards women.
I'll be out soon.
Are you done?
Listen up, I will go to jail.
What are you saying, Rajan?
Your grandson means the world to you.
Can you stay away from him?
Spend the rest of your days
with him not in jail.
Tara, you're finally free.
Why get caged again?
This is your time to fly.
Yusuf, my brother,
your wife prays
for your well-being every day.
Bloody hell...
I mean, her mother is with her.
Yes but she waits for your every day.
Right?
You have someone to wait for you.
Who do I have? No wife or kids.
How long will I rely on alcohol?
I deserve to get jailed.
Don't you dare try this trick ever again.
Sacrifice your life and get jailed!
Stop this drama.
Each of you will get 2.5 million.
There are 99% chances the matter will end
in the first leg of investigation.
Case closed.
There will be no sign of the murder weapon
or blood spots
because the right amount of pressure
will cause internal injury.
Beware, medulla oblongata.
The small brain.
One blow on that can be fatal.
The police will call this accidental death
and shut the case.
But there's 1% chance
for things to get further.
I will prepare you
for the second round of interrogation.
The first one who gets called
for the second round will confess.
Then comes judicial custody.
I mean jail.
I know the cons of getting jailed.
What are the pros?
One person will rot in jail for life
with 2.5 million
while the others go scot free.
- Right.
- It's simple.
The one who goes to jail
should get more money.
10 million.
The one who gets jailed
will get 4 times more money.
What use is the money in jail?
Do you have a plan to get us out of jail?
Yes,
how will I use the money if I'm in jail?
I won't go to Australia.
My future will be ruined.
It's my responsibility
to get you acquitted.
I'll hire the best lawyer in the country.
How will a lawyer help if we confess?
Suo motu, willing confession.
A lawyer will approach you
before the hearing.
You will tell him the police coerced
you to confess to the crime.
On humanitarian grounds,
that lawyer will take up your case.
That lawyer
will be secretly appointed by me.
He will delude the court
with complicated legalities.
He will mislead them.
They will find no evidence against you
nor witness.
It will take some months
but you'll surely get bail.
The public and media
will target the police.
One more thing, the person
to be called in second round
has to confess to the crime.
Backing out is not an option.
If you don't confess,
I will become a suspect.
If I land into trouble, you will too.
If I can spend so much
to get you out of jail,
it will take way less
to get you jailed for life.
- Sorry, sir.
- Sorry, sir.
Sorry.
After all the planning and rehearsals,
you want to ruin it out of temptation!
You're going to be millionaires
and lead a great life.
Trust me. I stand by you.
Nobody should know that I am involved
because I will make an appeal
for investigation.
The time has come.
He has to die.
My father
Justice Vishesh Ishkaran Parashar
has to die.
I'm sure he's sleeping peacefully.
While I...
The moment I shut my eyes
I get the same dream over and over.
My mother and her unborn child
burning to their death!
Their screams keep me awake.
This dream jolts me awake each time.
I know who's to blame here.
My father.
''Mom, this is revenge for you and me''
''Mom, this is the path for me''
''This is my decision''
''It's time to punish the culprit''
''How long will he hide in the dark?''
''It's up to us to conclude this''
''There comes a time in life''
''when darkness dispels making way
for the morn''
''It's pay back time''
''It's time to punish the culprit''
Rolling, ma'am.
Retd. Vishesh Ishkaran Parashar's
sudden death left the city shocked.
His maid called the police
after finding his body.
As per the police,
4 people met him yesterday,
Yusuf Sheikh, Rajan Saini,
Bansilal Kashyap
and his adopted daughter Tara.
Only one MO came to light
from the crime spot.
- What?
- Cane that is used to hit kids in school.
- Cane?
- How can that be a murder weapon?
Who knows if it's really a murder!
Sir...
Sir...
Is it a murder?
Back off.
- Sir...
- You can't go in.
- Do it.
- Yes, sir.
- Did you get all details?
- Yes, sir.
Any criminal history or police record?
No, sir. They are all clean.
- Forensics?
- Upstairs.
What's your take on seeing the body?
No traces of blood, sir.
It could be an internal injury.
What's about the hushed tones?
They're investigating, sir.
Keep these 4 suspects apart.
I don't want them to talk to each other.
- Okay, sir.
- Keep them apart.
- Sir.
- Come here.
Here.
Move that way.
Come.
Hello, sir.
Shekhawat.
Vishal.
I'm sorry for your loss, Vishal.
I'll regret all my life that
I didn't spend enough time with him.
He was the only parent I had.
I will miss him a lot.
I'm sure you will.
I know that this is not the right time
but I have some questions.
Please.
There's hardly any circumstantial evidence
but I suspect foul play.
Did Justice Parashar have enemies?
Could be.
I mean, he sentenced many criminals.
It could be anyone.
Do you know the 4 people
who met him yesterday?
Yes.
They were with dad since many years.
Who was the closest?
They were all close, sir.
Even so.
Tara.
Dad raised her like a daughter.
So far we know nobody came home apart
from those 4 people.
Are you sceptical about any of them?
No.
- Get the report quickly.
- Okay.
- Line them up.
- Yes, sir.
Stand in a line here.
Somebody other than
the maid informed the police
about Justice Parashar's death.
Did any of you make that call?
Which number was it, sir?
It was an Internet call.
We're tracing it.
- Male or female?
- It could be anybody.
The caller used a voice modulation app.
You think one of them...
That's what I'm here to find out, Vishal.
- Bansilal.
- Yes?
I know for a fact you 4 are in cahoots.
Or one of you did this.
Who did it, why and how?
We'll find out.
Rather you tell me.
No, sir. That's not true.
I will save you.
You won't be harmed.
Just tell me who among them did it.
I promise to save you.
Sir, I won't live long.
I'm closer to the grave.
Do as you please.
As for the judge, who killed him...
I don't know who killed him.
These three also worshipped the judge.
We were really close.
I was with him since childhood.
Stop crying.
How can I not cry, sir?
Take that plant for example.
It represents my life.
Thorns all over.
One day a colourful flower blooms
and to brighten up life
and change things...
''Mom, this is revenge for you and me''
Yes, Neha, it's bull's eye.
They were scared to know
about the Internet call.
They think one of them ratted them out.
Now they'll do their best
to save their skins.
They can't ruin the game out of greed.
They have no choice but to win.
Delete all traces of the Internet call.
See you soon.
Vishal,
see you soon too.
Maybe, maybe not.
