[man 2] We need a team in place.
The wind is pushing them towards the bridge.
[man 3] Somebody help them!
[man 4] Ambulance! Ambulance!
[man 5] Officer Vidya Jyothi is on the way.
How did the media get here so fast?
[male paraglider] Help! [screaming]
- [people clamoring] - [female paraglider screams]
- [man paraglider] Help! - [cop] A narrow escape.
- Where's the ambulance? You! Get back! - [woman paraglider screams]
- Madam! - Hurry up!
[woman 2] Move!
- [people clamoring] - [man 9] Clear the crowd.
- Let madam come. - [woman] VJ madam's here.

[male paraglider] What's going on? What're you doing?
- [music continues] - [conversation muted]
[male paraglider] What are doing? Let go of me!

Talk to me, Saumya.
Dhruv Sood tried to kill me up there.

[man over radio] Hello, there has been a truck accident next to Lemon Town.
[mosquitoes whining]
Come on, Guplu. Guplu, eat something.
- Don't you want to be strong? - What's going on?
Hey?
- [heater clicks] - Trouble. Fuse is gone
Now who'll go out in the cold to fix it.
I won't go.
Madam ji, you've been bringing that poor rabbit
to the police station every day.
- [VJ] So what? - Does it belong here?
My mother passed away about a month ago.
And he's an orphan now.
I want someone to adopt him.
- You become his father. - Me? You have such crazy ideas, my God!
There! There it is.
- [VJ] This one, right? - [constable] Yes.
I have a professional question.
- What? - I've heard interesting stories about you.
You even sent your own brother to jail!
For six months, right?
If I didn't do that, he would have never changed.
[constable] Okay ji.
But he's your own blood? Right? Huh?
- Family is family. - Law is law.
[VJ sighs]
You should stop watching family films.
Horror films are a better choice. Hmm?
You'll see what real life is.
[man] Madam, Lalit Sir is calling you.
- Come on, fix the wire. - Sure.
- Sir! - [clicks heels]
You're still getting used to the weather of Devipur.
[hesitates] Well, Dharampur does not get as cold as this, sir.
Vidya Jyothi. You have a very meaningful name, you know.
Vidya is knowledge, Jyothi a divine light.
[quirky music plays]
But, I can't see the light, sir.
My promotion was held up in Dharampur for three years.
[quirky music continues]
You're so good at what you do, VJ.
So good
that promoting you is a challenge.
You're so obsessed with the rules that it's impossible to keep up with you.
In your search for the truth, make sure you also understand people
- and learn how the system works. - [bulb clicks]
Have you seen the trees that stand perfectly upright?
Straight, rigid.
When a strong wind blows, they're the first to fall.
Because they never learned to bend.
Sir, I believe if a tree bends every time there's a breeze,
it will never learn to stand tall.
[pensive music playing]
Thank you, sir.
- Patrol duty tomorrow. - [quirky music playing]
Sir, but I've…
I've already covered every corner of Devipur.
I have to do it again?
Is there a case…
[quirky music playing]
[murmurs] I guess not.
Okay. [clicks heels]
[constable] I'm sure he was just hitting his wife.
You're such a weird neighbor. Just go and knock at their door!
Go ring the bell. The bell!
I'm telling you everything will be okay. Of course they'll open the door.
Just say you need some sugar. That's it!
- Problem solved. - Oye!
- What? Huh? - Madam.
Hmm.
Hello ji? Give me the address.
- We're on our way. - [constable] On our way?
We're going there? You're taking this seriously?
I know what will happen.
You show up. The wife takes her husband's side.
They will say they love each other and case closed.
Then don't say I didn't tell you.
A waste of our time. I've seen it all before.
- [VJ] Anyone coming with me? - Is anyone going with madam?
Who's going with her? You! Can you hear me or not?
Arey! Madam, looks like you're stuck here now.
- [woman 1] Madam is stuck. - [constable chuckles] No problem.
- I'll take care of things here. - [woman 2] She got stuck.
[VJ] I'm used to getting stuck.
You know, stuck in the doorway,
stuck in my job, stuck with patrol duty,
stuck wrestling with the Indian penal code and stuck
living up to my parents' ideals.
[wind whooshing]
[bike engine whirring]
My father was a judge.
And that is why he believed that the law was sacred.
- [gate squeaks, clicks] - The word of law.
[suspenseful music playing]
Ma was a lawyer.
She believed that the law was completely meaningless
unless it could give justice to those in need.
The spirit of law.
That's why my parents never got along.
I chose to follow in my father's footsteps.
All my life I played by the rules,
and it brought me here
to get stuck.
- Namaste. - Namaste.
Everything okay here?
[slow, pensive music playing]
- Mrs. Sood? - Yes.
Someone called to complain.
They heard someone being beaten up in your house.
- You all right? - Yes, I'm perfectly fine.
Nothing's wrong over here.
What happened to your face?
[tense music playing]
I bumped my head opening a kitchen cabinet.
[tense music continues]
Thank you.
[music crescendos, fades]
[wind whooshing]
- [door opens] - Good morning, madam!
So, madam, how was last night? Did the wife tell you the truth?
No, right? [chuckles] I knew this would happen.
You know, in my experience,
- all the women around this town are... - Hey!
- Huh? - Stay right there!
Okay.
[constable] Ah!
A police inspector and a lawyer!
She has justice written all over her.
- Double trouble. - Hmm.
You're a lawyer as well, madam ji?
It's good to keep busy.
I've heard single people with spare time end up committing suicide.
I swear, it's true. Really.
- Huh? - [cell phone chimes]
[Vidya scoffs]
When normal people talk absolute rubbish and sound like idiots,
you know there is something funny going on.
The brain has stopped working.
That's why, VJ! Just let it all out.
[cell phone chimes]
[VJ scoffs]
Come on.
It's my journal, okay?
My fiancé broke up with me three days after my mother passed away.
So what? I tried to fix the pieces of my broken heart
by smashing a pot of water on my fiancé's head…
Trouble.
[VJ] …and ended up straight at the therapist.
He told me to remove my frustration on paper
and not on people.
But honestly, who has the time to write these days?
- [constable] True. - That's why phone recordings are the best.
[chuckles]
And you want to know why this works for me?
- Yes? - People don't mess with me anymore.
[constable] Yes, obviously.
Hmm.
[man over walkie-talkie] Come in for Subhash!
A fight has broken out at Valley View Point.
Can someone get there asap?
Madam ji, take… take this. Give me the keys.
[chuckles] Women power rules! Let's go.
[wind whooshing]
[woman] I was just floating there, midair.
- Like a dragon! - Katoch, go see what's going on.
- [woman] Where is your boss? - [man] But ma'am…
- What if I'd died up there? - But ma'am, because of your weight,
- the carrier was leaning forward. - Now you'll body-shame me as well, huh?
[engine revving]
[instructor] Oh, good! Dhruv bhaiya's here.
He'll handle everything.
- [bike engine revving] - [upbeat music playing]
[catchy, racy music playing]
What's wrong, ma'am?
- [Dhruv and woman speaking indistinctly] - He's sort of a local hero, Dhruv Sood.
He's from Haryana, but now he has taken over Devipur.
The spoiled son of a wealthy man.
He blew up 250 crores and opened a shooting range.
Now he's running this "flying carpet" business.
Look at him.
He seems a bit too charming to me.
Madam ji, if you ask me,
I think you have a problem with men in general.
If you ask me, "in general," I have a problem with assholes.
Really?
[Katoch] Oh, and by the way, remember the domestic violence call?
That was from his house.
His wife is a teacher.
She teaches at the dance school nearby.
[suspenseful music playing]
[anklets jingling]
[anklets jingling rapidly]
[suspenseful music continues]
I'll be back soon.
Yes, ma'am? Can I help you?
Um… [chuckles nervously]
Uh, agarbatti.
We have quite a lot of fragrances here. I'll just get them.
[suspenseful music playing]
You came to my house last night, and now you followed me here?
There's an offer if you buy a thali with the agarbatti. Here.
So now you want to buy thalis?
[woman] Uh, she's my twin sister.
Good girl Saumya?
Look at these. We have jasmine, there's mogra…
Rose? You like rose?
Bloody hell!
Excuse me?
What the hell!
Why were you so rude to my customer?
VJ, why're you getting into this Seeta and Geeta mess?
If she's okay sleeping with him at night and getting slapped during the day,
that's her choice!
Forget about the girl and the old woman.
[gasps]
I called the police station that night.
This is yours.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Guplu clucking]
- Saumya needs your help desperately. - Why?
Because she'll never speak up against him. Against her own husband.
Because she wants to be the perfect wife?
She cannot lose to her sister.

But I don't have the watch.

- Ma's watch is mine. - No, it's mine.
- [nanny] Shailee? - [Saumya] I will keep it.
[nanny] Shailee, give it to her.
Please just take something else. You know that she's not well, right?
[diabolic music playing]
Amma, can you do my hair first?
No, it's my turn now. You have to wait.
You can't be first all the time. Got it?
[whines] Amma.
Shailee, listen to me.
Please, will you do your own hair today?
Saumya's not feeling well.
- Such drama, you know? - You're my strong girl, na? Please...
[nanny sighs]
Come.
Why do you get so scared?
[nanny] As sisters they should have lifted each other up and grown together.
But they started tearing each other down.
- Shailee! - [Shailee] Take this!

- [Shailee] Now go to Maaji for your hair. - Amma!
[Shailee] So much drama.

- She wants to be first all the time! - [father] Shailee, what did you do?
[Shailee] Because of her nobody in this house loves me.
[father] Stop it! Shailee!
Not Maaji and not even Papa.
- [Father] Stop it! - Nobody listens to me.
- Maaji always takes her side. - [diabolic music playing]
- Shailee, stop... - I hate you!
[Father] I've had enough of your nonsense.
Come on. I'm sending you to a hostel.
You two can't live together anymore.
They're sending me to the hostel. It's all your fault!
This is what you always wanted. Right, Saumya?
You win, but this is the last time that I lose to you.
Last time.

[glass clinks]
[Maaji in English] After Niren Bhai Sahab passed away,
Saumya's mental health started getting worse.
Breathing problems, fear of heights.
On the other hand, Shailee stopped coming home
even during school breaks.
Only her trophies came home.
And here, for Saumya,
from Maaji, I became her Amma.
Both the sisters kept drifting apart, and Shailee became more bitter.
Then, about a year or so ago, it was time for Shailee to come back home.
But before that a storm hit us.

Wind speed is about 15 kilometers per hour.
The height is perfect and the ride too.

I really think that paragliding shouldn't be an adventure sport.
It should be a dating sport.
8000 feet above the ground, two strangers strapped-in close together.
Isn't that the perfect date?
- And this harness… - [harness clicks]
…keeps them both together.
If you want to feel the clouds, you need wings, right?
That's why the canopy, for the love birds.
[woman paraglider screams]
[chanting Hanuman Chalisa in Hindi]
[in English] Arey, praying before flying.
At least save it for when our canopy rips
- or the harness snaps. - [voice shakes] What do you mean?
- I mean… - No… [whimpers]
I was not serious at all. I was joking.
- You'll be fine. - Promise?
I promise. You'll be fine.
- Ready? - [whispers] No.

You're a bold guy. I can't do it!

Flying.
Me too. [mimics Shailee] Love it.
[Maaji] Shailee was back with one goal in mind.
To take everything away from Saumya.
[Shailee sighs] Hmm.
Listen, this Dhruv guy is quite cute, huh?
[tense music playing]
You guys are just friends, right?
I hope you don't have feelings for him.
Listen, no offense, but I feel he's way out of your league.
[Shailee's sinister theme music playing]
But you can try.
And anyway, Maaji, Chachu
are all on Team Saumya, na?

So, Tyagi ji, about the approvals...
It's too noisy to talk here.
Come to the office.
We'll discuss everything there.
And I'll talk to your father about all the approvals.
- Of course. As you wish. Sure. - [Tyagi grunts]
Dhruv!
I've had too much to drink.
Oh, I'm so drunk.
I've had a lot. Sorry, sorry, sorry. I've had too much. I'm sorry.
[Shailee yelps, laughs]
[Saumya] Shailee, have some water.
Please, yaar, Saumya, don't be so lame.
She's such a drama queen!
She's been such a Madhubala since she was a kid.
"Have some water!"
You have some water!

Look at her, look how she'll start crying now.

She… She's just dying for attention!

Motherfucker! You fucked up a 500-crore investment for us!
A minister comes to your house and you're just busy partying?

Your mother was right about you.
We should have found a girl for you and got you married.
I made a mistake. I didn't listen to her.
Now, just tell me one thing, do you want to be in business or not?
And if you want to, then these dance parties,
this screwing around with women has got to stop now!
I can't cover up for you anymore!
[inhales sharply]
I've had enough, fucker!
Be a man and settle down with a homely girl.
- Or forget about being a businessman. - [phone clicks]

[Dhruv] Do you wanna come?
[wind whooshing]
Okay!
- You won't be scared, will you? - [chuckles]
You'll be with me, right?
Remember what you said? You're the top guy.
[slow, romantic music playing]
It's true, what people say,
everything we need to be happy in life
is right in front of us, and yet
we look for it in all the wrong places.
Marry me.
Huh?
Marry me.
But I thought that I'm not your type.
I don't know about all that.
The only thing I know is that, for some reason,
you just feel like home.
And too much adventure is not good. It can give you a heart attack.
Save me, Saumya.

I swear, I was only talking to him.

You're going to live with her, right? To take care of her?
Of course!
- Like always... - Shailee, we are already married now.
So don't try to come between Dhruv and me.
- You get it? - [chuckles]
It's your wedding night, lighten up, baby!
Come on! Have fun!
While it lasts.
The thing is, you may have won Dhruv for now.
But the million-dollar question is…
for how long will you be able to have him?
[dramatic music playing]
[Shailee's sinister theme music playing]
- [music fades] - [sniffling]
So much hatred between sisters?
The biggest war in the world,
Mahabharat, was fought between brothers, wasn't it?
So when did everything start falling apart?
Just a few months after the wedding,
Dhruv started getting angrier.
Things at work started falling apart. And he took his anger out on her.
Madam, Saumya will sacrifice everything
to keep her marriage from breaking.
She will never file a complaint.
In that case, there's really no point selling me your sob story.
Either file a complaint or bring me proof.
Proof?
Bu… But you'll find the proof, right?
Arey, it's not like I can get into your house
to collect the evidence for you.
Maybe you should start digging and stop drinking.
Hmm.
[cicadas chirping]
[Shailee] Nice!
This local stuff will kill you.
[slurred speech] Forget all that, Shailee.
Tell me, when are you leaving this house?
When Jij tells me to.
He asked me to move in here.
He said, "Come live with me."
[tempering sizzling]
- [sternly] Shailee! - Relax, Maaji.
My place is being renovated.
Instead of being covered in dust,
isn't it better that I stayed with my dearest family?
With love, more and more love.
Right, sis?
- [tempering sizzling fiercely] - [coughing]
Okay, then…
[tense music playing]
[Dhruv] Tyagi ji, this adventure park will be our biggest investment till now.
And the ROI is fully guaranteed.
So adventure sports and Devipur, we'll take it to the next level.
- [Tyagi] Hmm. - Papa's also very excited for this.
So, the total project cost is 15,000 crores.
But for the zoning permit, we will need an approval of 500 crores.
[whimpers, retches, coughing]
- [Dhruv] What's wrong? Tyagi ji? - [Tyagi coughing]
[clears throat]
[wails] Spicy! Spicy!
[groans, continues coughing]
- [Dhruv] Easy! - [water sloshes]
- [Saumya] Sorry. - [Tyagi] Spicy.
- [Saumya] Please have some water. - [Tyagi continues groaning]
[Saumya] Please give me two minutes. I'll just make this right.
[Tyagi continues groaning, whimpering] No!
Tyagi ji, are you all right?
Aaah! [exhales]
My taste buds just died a slow death with this.
- I'm going to order Chinese. Anybody else? - [clicks tongue]
No, no, I don't want anything. Don't want anything.
[tense music swells]
[music fades]
[Saumya breathing heavily]
He is the tourism minister of Uttarakhand.
And he was about to sanction 15,000 crores for my project.
- And you? - [whimpers] Dhruv…
- You made the food so damn spicy… - [Saumya yelps]
- …that it could have killed him. - [Saumya yelps, grunts in pain]
[strained grunt] Please. It's hurting, Dhruv. Please.
[whimpers]
And you are hurting my business.
[sobbing]
[music swells]
[Dhruv] I'll deal with you later.
[sobbing]
Oye! Who gave you permission to park on the road?
- Come on, move it! - Okay, I'll do it, madam.
[exhales]
Hey! C'mon, get out from here.
Hurry up. Come on.
Make some fresh chai for us.
You're doing a bad job of covering it up. Everything's very clear.
Why are you not filing a report against your husband?
Everybody knows he beats you up.
But nobody knows that he really loves me, too.
Let's go, Amma.
- [Katoch scoffs] - She thinks she can lie to a cop.
Her entire face is black and blue,
but she says, [mockingly] "Oh, he loves me."
Love is strange.
[scoffs] Madam ji, have you been in love? Huh?
No.
- Get the hawkers out! - Yeah.
[scoffs]
Life needs a few crazy twists for some excitement.
- Katoch! - Sir!
- Have I walked into a tea shop? - Here's your hot cup of tea.
Please have it.
Wait a minute. What's he doing here?
Stay away from my family, madam. This is my last warning to you.
Good morning, sir.
Have you heard? She has been harassing my wife.
Forcing her to complain, to press charges against me.
Sir ji, I'm not trying to build a case against him.
The case is written all over her face. A domestic violence case.
When he loses his temper, his wife pays the price.
Ask him about it.
Your makeup is not doing a great job of hiding your "love story"!
I already told you I bumped into a cabinet.
[scoffs]
[in Hindi] MARKS OF ASSAULT ON THE NECK!
[in English] Do you see this?
She's obsessed with us!
She can't think about anything else!
Make her stop this.
Or I'll be forced to get my father involved.
[dramatic music playing]
[paper ripping]
[music fades]
[low, tense music playing]
- [both breathing heavily] - [glass clinking]
I want a baby.
Dhruv, I want a baby.
[breathing heavily] I want a baby.
- [both grunt] - [bottles clatter]
[breathing heavily]
[Dhruv] Same old nonsense!
[glass shatters]
[breathing shakily]
[water flowing]
Shailee, he gets angry, and then he becomes a complete monster.
He beats her all the time, and she doesn't say a word.
Oh, please!
It's all drama. She has always been like that.
- But I've seen him hitting her many times. - Then she should leave!
I knew it right from the beginning.
Dhruv cannot be handled by someone like her.
That's what you want, right? That she leaves him?
[in Hindi] ♪ Your charm Has enchanted my heart ♪

[Dhruv in English] No! No! Saumya!

[Saumya laughs]
Singing a duet.
[Saumya, Dhruv chatter indistinctly]
[soft, sinister music playing]
[music swells]
Shailee, you need to leave this house.
Sometimes you want me to leave the room, sometimes the house.
[voice shaking] You want me to go the hostel, and now this…
Let's do one thing, Maaji. Why don't you push me from this balcony?
Then I'll leave the world itself.
Will you be satisfied then?
You'll be happy?
I think you will be.
[footsteps receding]
[exhales]
[sinister music playing]
Sorry, the hot water in my bathroom isn't working today.
[Shailee's sinister theme music playing]
[Saumya] Dhruv! Dhruv! Dhruv! Dhruv! Stop, stop, stop it, Dhruv!
Stop it, Dhruv. Stop!
Stop it!
[Saumya yelps, laughing] Stop it, Dhruv!
[laughs] Stop it, Dhruv!
Ah! Stop. Ah! [laughs]

[tense music playing]
Maaji, why don't you move into our bedroom with us?
No, no, please I insist.
You can sleep in between both of us.
Yeah? There's lots of space. Please come in, Maaji.
Arey, Maaji?
- [whooping] - [indistinct light chatter]
- [Dhruv] Guys! - [man whoops]
[girls chanting] Come on, Shailee!
- Let's get Saumya drunk tonight. - Hey!
Come on! Come on!
- [Saumya] No, no! - [Dhruv] One drink, come on.
- Come on! - [Saumya groans]
[girls chanting] Shailee! Shailee!
Sorry guys! I picked the boring one.
[soft, pensive music playing]

[door opens]
[door closes]
[water running]
Why can't you just leave Dhruv and me alone?
[laughing]
[sighs]
[mockingly] And then?
Will my leaving fix everything for you?
Your marriage is going so well.
Fantastic!
We're going to start a family.
We are going to have a baby.
[tense music playing]
[scoffs]
Very good.
And Shailee?
What?
Get out of my house.
I was going to leave anyway. Should've asked for something else.
I'm gonna buy stock for the café. Maaji's coming along.
So while you make a baby,
someone needs to work.
- [footsteps receding] - [door closes]
- When will you be back? - In just a week.
[Saumya groans]
- Dhruv? - Hmm?
I want a baby.
[tense music playing]
- Let's talk when I'm back. - You'll get busy with work.
Again with the same thing?
So much is going on, major projects underway.
We are not having babies now.
What do you mean by that? I really want a baby.
- You can't have your way all the time. - What do you mean my way?
Since we got married, you've been calling the shots.
You wanted that witch in the house,
- and now she dances on our heads... - "Witch?"
Dhruv, she's like a mother to me!
Oh, so, now I'm supposed to work my ass off all day,
and back home, I have to deal with your drama.
I'm being dramatic?
The entire day I listen to you, but if I say no to the smallest thing...
No matter what a man does, a woman can never be happy with it.
If I'm joking around, you get upset so easily.
If I make plans to go out, you get anxious!
And the list of your medicines never ends.
I'm not able to live my best life, you know that?
I feel suffocated. I don't want a fucking baby!
[sobbing]
[groans] Ah, now this.
The tears! It's me who made a mistake, you know?
I married the wrong sister.
- Perhaps I should have married Shailee. - Yeah, so you should have.
But back then you wanted a homely wife, right? Huh?
I was just a checklist.
Someone who takes care of the house, knows how to cook, doesn't drink.
And now those very things are suffocating you, huh?
And what work are on about? You got everything on a silver platter.
Papa started the business for you, and you can't even run that properly.
[tense music playing]
[Dhruv] What did you say? Huh?
[Saumya screams]
[Dhruv] You'll teach me how to run my business?

- [in English] She's not going to make it. - Huh?
We have to do something.
Madam ji, I've heard some terrible things about her husband's past.
There are cases of violence against him in Haryana.
One is an "attempt to murder" charge.
- Get the car. We're going to Haryana. - Huh?
- I should really learn to shut up. - Come on, move it!
[in Hindi] SONIPAT
[tense music playing]
[in English] Hello, madam ji.
Any trouble finding this place?
[patrons chattering indistinctly]
We know why you've come here. We were expecting you.
[man 1] You're the new inspector from Devipur, right?
We knew you were coming here as you drove past Sonipat.
Uncle ji is a minister. He's well-connected in Delhi.
And our D is a lion! Just has a bad temper.
So madam ji, you've come to speak to the manager, right?
Yes, this is the bar where D fired shots when he lost his mind.
A case was filed against him.
[man 2] Trust me, don't bother meeting the manager.
Whatever you plan to do next, madam ji, you should think at least once.
We are not telling you this
just for the heck of it, you know, madam ji.
[sinister music playing]
[dramatic music playing]
[gun thuds]
Even I'm not here
- to play games with you. - [magazine thuds]
[dramatic music swells]
I want to meet the bar manager.
Govind, bring the luggage from the car.
She could have died.
If you ever raise your hand on her again, I'll take you to the police station.
The new officer is just looking for a reason
to file a criminal case against you.
Dare you do anything to her again.
Maaji, go and file the report.
I'll also tell them everything about the medicines she's been taking
for her stress, for her depression, for her anxiety,
how she's become unpredictable.
They should also know
how a poor man was tricked into [mock whispers] marrying a crazy woman.
They'll see how much I love her, and they'll also see the prescriptions.
And what if all this stress pushes her to try and take her own life?
What if she commits suicide?
[diabolic music playing]
[music swells]
[music stops abruptly]
Maaji!
[breathing heavily]
Saumya, have you seen the house keys?
What is all this?
- Why don't you leave him? - Shh!
Do what you want.
[cicadas chirping]
[cell phone vibrating]
[cell phone continues vibrating]
Yeah?
[diabolic music plays]
[Dhruv] Shailee yaar, this new Inspector is just messing with my head.
It's time to pay her a visit.
[vehicle engine whirring]
[Dhruv] So how was Haryana, madam?
Sounds like you had quite a trip. Dug up old files and stuff.
[sinister music playing]
Looks good.
Nice!
[bottles clanking]
- Does this work or is it just for show? - [bottle lid grating]
I hope you know who you're messing with.
I know everything.
I know about all the cases against you in Haryana.
Be careful.
Otherwise, I'll arrest you for domestic abuse…
- [bottle thuds] - …and throw you in jail.
You think it's so easy to arrest me?
I'm sure you must've heard this line many times.
What do they say in movies?
"Do you know who my father is?"
As long as you know who your father is, it makes no difference.
- You! - [VJ grunts]
You better watch it! You're crossing the line!

What the hell's going on with you?
Why the fuck are you losing your shit so often?
- [exhales] - You swear you never hit Saumya, right?
I told you she fell down the stairs. It's obvious she'll get hurt.
[dogs barking in the distance]
Okay, calm down, now.
Calm down.
You know the truth about your sister.
What she's capable of.
First she provokes me, and then acts like a drama queen.
[groans] My life's a living hell!
- Shh! It's okay. I know, I know. - [Dhruv groans]
I just can't live with Saumya anymore.
I just can't.
[dramatic music playing]
I'm telling you one last time, I did not touch her.
I just went there to talk.
Well, I think you might be confusing talking with hitting.
Do you know he's absconding from Haryana?
There's a case filed against him, "attempt to murder."
Next, he's going to kill you.
Madam, those cases fall under that jurisdiction
and are sub judice.
And anyway, my client is a changed man now.
You know, he has worked hard to bring his temper under control.
Wow!
Should we give him the Bharat Ratna for controlling his anger?
It's time to speak up.
Think of yourself because he's not going to stop hitting you.
[tense music playing]
Everything's fine between us.
[music fades]
We…
We are madly in love with each other.
In fact, we're about to start a family.
[dramatic music playing]
[resolute tone] We want to have a baby.
Isn't it?
[hesitates] Ye… Yeah.
Saumya, thank you for what you did.
[cell phone vibrating]
Shailee probably wants to know our Holi plans. That's it.
[cell phone continues vibrating]
Let's forget about Holi.
Let's begin our love story all over again.
Remember the way you had proposed to me?
I want you to do that again while we're flying in the air,
[whispers] amidst the clouds.
[diabolic music playing]
[kisses]
Won't you be scared?
You'll be there with me.
Okay.
But we'll go after celebrating Holi.
I promise. Huh?

Let's go.
[festivities, drumbeats continue]
[VJ] I've been looking for you. Where is the evidence?
Show me. What did you find?
Madam, it's all over.
Shailee and Dhruv are together.
I'm really worried about Saumya.
- This is your evidence? - Doesn't work for you?
What will I do with this?
You just have me running around in circles.
[cell phone ringing]
Saumya!
Hello?
Y… Yeah, Saumya.
Hello? Hello?
What's wrong?
She sounded really scared.
They've gone to Valley View Point.
- Hello? - [tense music playing]
I'll go and check.
- Can I come with you? - No!
- [woman 1] The police is here. - [Saumya] Help me!
- Somebody help me! - [man 1] I'm sure they won't make it.
[man 2] They'll definitely fall.
[woman 2] I hope she's okay, He's trying to kill her!
[man 3] Look at that guy. He's trying to kill her.
Move, move! Move!

Do something, they're going to crash into the valley.
[Katoch] Oh, my God!
- [Saumya] Somebody help me! [screams] - [man 5] They're going to die.
[Katoch] Madam ji.
- [Saumya] Somebody help me! - [Katoch] She's not going to make it.
Saumya!
Dhruv, please, no!
- Help me! [screams] - [Dhruv] What're you doing?
[tense music playing]
- Get the team and go to the bridge! - Yes.
If they make it, that's where they'll crash-land.
Yes.
And call the ambulance.
[Katoch] Yes, madam ji.
[Katoch] What are you all looking at? Come on, start the car.
[Saumya] Help! [whimpering]

What's happening here? Huh?
- [man 7] Go and help them. - [man instructs over speaker]
- [sirens blaring] - [man] Carefully, okay, carefully.
- [man over speaker] Co-operate with us. - [Katoch] Are you okay?
[VJ's dramatic theme music playing]
- [groans] - [Katoch] Tell me, tell me.
You messed up this time. Did you try to kill your wife?
- She let go of her harness herself. - Why would she do something like that?
Arey, sir, that's my sister. That's my sister, please.
Saumya, tell me! Speak up, Saumya.
[whimpering]
- [Katoch] You won't get away. - [Dhruv] What're talking?
- I tried to save her. - [Katoch] Okay, okay.
- [Dhruv] I know you... - [VJ] Arrest him!
- And get Saumya's statement. - Okay.
- [in Hindi] Come on! - [in English] What's going on?
Saumya, what have you told them?
What's all this nonsense?
Where are you taking me? Just leave me!
Saumya! Saumya!
- What have you told them? - Fucker, shut up!
[music stops abruptly]
- [ambulance sirens blaring] - [sinister music playing]
Saumya! Hey, you, let go of me!
- I didn't do anything. Saumya! - [music swells]
[music fades]
You can talk to me, Saumya.
Dhruv Sood tried to kill me up there.
- What rubbish! She's lying! - [VJ] Quiet!
Madam, I didn't do anything.
Shailee, you know everything.
Why aren't you telling them?
Take her statement now.
- [receiver slams in cradle] - Sir!
Things are out of control. The top might get involved.
Let's ask Tripathi ji to handle Dhruv's case.
But VJ, don't get your hopes too high.
I won't lose hope, sir.
Because Tripathi ji won't fight this. I'm doing it myself.
It doesn't matter how well-connected he is.
This time, he committed a crime in public.
People have recorded it.
And I won't let him get away with it.
Make sure you win this time, Vidya Jyothi.
I'll try my best, sir. I'll do it for Saumya.
[man 1] I haven't seen a police officer fight a case.
[man 2] You know, you have to put in a request.
And she anyway has a law degree framed at home.
[man 1] I really don't know how madam is going do this.
- [woman] Okay, madam. - Katoch, file?
Uh, madam, here it is.
- I have filed all of Sood's papers. - [sirens blaring outside]
[horns honking]

- [door opens abruptly] - [footsteps approaching]
[Katoch] Why are you running? What's wrong? Slow down.
- Sir, his father's here. - His father's come here?
Looks like the minister did something.
No need to worry, Katoch.
Even his father won't be able to save him today.
[sirens continue blaring]
Madam, namaste.
Madam ji, you can do whatever the hell you want.
But take it from me. [snaps fingers]
I'll be out before you know it!
[door opens]
- [Katoch] You! What're you doing? - Where is our D?
Dhruv!
Listen, you're coming to Delhi, right?
[snaps fingers] Snap your fingers in court in front of the judge.
It's time to fix you.
Oye! Get them out of here. This is my police station.
- Not your Delhi. Get out! - [Dhruv's friend] You'll be out soon.
[Dhruv's lawyer] Sir, it happened in front of everyone.
There is evidence.
- This time we'll have to go to court. - Who's the judge?
[Dhruv's lawyer] Justice Aruna Goel.
A woman.
Fuck!

[bailiff] Case number 1045, Dhruv Sood versus Saumya Sood.
Your Honor, every year, 4000 women in our country lose their lives
in domestic violence cases.
It's impossible for these dead women
to bring "attempt to murder" charges against their husbands.
But my client was lucky that she survived this.
And she's here today demanding justice.
Not just against her husband.
But against a very powerful man and his well-connected family.
These are some of Saumya Sood's medical records for the past few months.
Her husband beats her brutally and without mercy.
It's obvious that he cannot control his temper.
Once, he beat her and pushed her down the stairs,
and then left her there to die.
Your Honor, she tripped and fell down the...
Let Miss Kanwar complete, please.
Thank you, Your Honor.
And this violence became a part of her everyday life.
A broken finger, burned hands,
injuries on her legs, all this proves his violent nature.
Madam ji, I've already told you, she's just a very clumsy person.
She's had a lot of accidents in the kitchen
and she's always bumping into cabinets.
You've taught your kitchen cabinets well, Mr. Sood.
They are smart enough to somehow only end up hurting your wife.
[chuckles]
It's time to admit the truth.
Tell us, have you ever raised your hand on your wife?
[tense music playing]
Madam ji, a lot goes on between lovers.
Right, wrong,
misunderstandings, arguments, chaos.
But the love never fades away.
Can't expect anything else from you.
Saumya ji, tell the court everything.
What happened on the day of the Holi party?
After the Holi party,
Dhruv took me paragliding to the valley.
I was very happy that day.
I thought that we are finally making a fresh start.
But then,
I brought up the topic of having a baby
and he started arguing midair.
And then suddenly, Dhruv unhooked my harness.
- [Dhruv] Saumya! - Help!
[Saumya screams]
- What rubbish! She's lying. - [sternly] Let her complete, Mr. Sood.
Saumya ji, the day he threw you down the stairs of your house,
did you fight about wanting to have a baby?
[sinister music playing]
Yes, ma'am.
He would beat Saumya quite often.
Why didn't you file a complaint against him before this?
It was their private matter. So I thought that…
He'd snap at every little thing all the time.
- Once, she put peanuts in poha and... - Ma'am, I am allergic to peanuts.
And she knew about my allergy.
Yet she was so careless. Anyone would be angry.
Dhruv ji, the Supreme Court has not passed a single judgement to date
that allows Dhruv Sood to do what he wants whenever he gets angry.
Everybody knows that your father is a minister.
Too bad for you that even he hasn't been able to pass such a law.
Madam ji, don't bring my father into this.
I only twisted her hand that day.
He would have broken jaws had he faced such an issue.
You wanna know what a murder is, right?
I'll tell you.
We used to have a neighbor called, Mr. Hooda.
He burned his daughter-in-law alive, openly, in broad daylight,
while everyone watched.
That's what a murder is.
In fact, the girl's parents came to us for help.
And we actually helped them.
Because we respect women. I respect women.
I have no further questions, Your Honor.
Mr. Kumar, do you have anything to say?
Your Honor…
yes, my client has anger issues.
Things like slapping someone or twisting an arm,
all these trivial, little incidents happen in every household.
It's not right, it should not happen.
But it happens.
And that's why these are strictly private matters.
Now let's focus on the real issue.
"Attempt to murder" charge.
Your Honor, at this time, it is important for us to note the fact
that my client did not bring or intend to bring
any serious harm or injury to Saumya ji in any way.
She tripped and fell down the stairs.
And nor did my client try to push her and kill her when they went paragliding.
That is why, Your Honor,
this "attempt to murder" charge is totally baseless.
And all the other injuries?
Arey madam, you were hell-bent on getting him in trouble.
"File a complaint! Bring charges."
But Saumya ji refused to complain against her husband.
Why? Because she knew deep down that
this was neither a domestic abuse case
nor an attempt to murder case.
If it was, Your Honor, Saumya Sood would surely have pressed charges.
Your Honor, the evidence I'm about to present before the court
will be a game changer.
And it will prove that this case against my client is
baseless.
Because Miss Saumya's mental health has been quite unstable.
Here are the prescriptions and the pills.
Mr. Sood, please come forward and tell the court…
about your wife's mental health issues.
Well, to be honest, I didn't want this to be out.
[Dhruv's lawyer] What?
The fact that Saumya is mentally unstable.
I found out about this only after we got married.
She has acute depression.
She's always taking medicines for it.
She has obvious symptoms like crying for no reason, screaming,
making up strange stories, hallucinations, phobias,
fear of heights, suicidal thoughts.
Your honor, I'm tired of dealing with this every single day.
My life is a living hell!
[attendees murmuring indistinctly]
And this is not something new.
She's been like this since she was eight,
when she lost her mother.
Tell me, Your Honor,
why do people always assume the woman is innocent?
What about us? Men are also suffering.
Saumya, I really wanted to take care of you.
I wanted to be a good husband.
But I'm sorry.
Your Honor.
[ominous music playing]
The court has heard the statements for today.
It will resume session next week.
[tense music playing]
You will have to come to court tomorrow. Here's the official notice.
I'd like to call my next witness, Shailee Pundir, to the stand.
Did you know that Dhruv used to beat Saumya?
No, I didn't.
Uh, I'm not sure.
And you never tried to stop him from doing all that?
No!
Because I never witnessed anything and Saumya never confided in me.
And, anyway, why should I bother to come in between them?
"In between?"
Maybe she didn't say anything to you
because you and Dhruv were involved with each other?
Before they were married, yes.
So you were unhappy with this relationship.
Objection!
Speculating.
Your Honor, these questions will expose the motive behind this attempt to murder.
The crux of the case. The affair.
Carry on.
Thank you.
You couldn't stand it, could you?
That your sweet and simple sister
won Dhruv's heart and stole him away from you.
That's why, just a few days after the wedding,
when you saw the cracks appearing in their relationship,
you moved in,
into their life and even into their home.
Not just that. You pursued him and started an affair.
Objection!
[chuckles nervously] Badgering the witness.
Did the affair between you and Shailee Pundir
rekindle after your wedding?
We have all the call records of your conversations.
Your honor, Shailee and I were dating before I got married.
But after the wedding, it became really hard for me to handle Saumya.
I needed some support to deal with her.
That's why I started talking to Shailee more often.
[dramatic music swells]
Ms. Kanwar, is there a question?
Yes, Your Honor.
[music fades]
So please tell the court what happened at the Holi party.
After the Holi party, I took Saumya paragliding to the valley.
Suddenly, midair, something happened to her.
She opened her own harness and started screaming for help.
In fact, I should file an "attempt to murder" case against her.
- She just refused to give me the controls. - Why?
Maybe she was upset that Shailee and I were getting close again.
Maybe she wanted to frame me on purpose.
So, you're seriously telling me that she unhooked her harness on purpose,
and she actually put her own life in danger to make you look guilty?
That's exactly what I've told you.
She is mentally unstable.
Have you forgotten what you told the court about your wife?
That she's always been afraid of heights?
And that she doesn't know anything about paragliding?
[dramatic music playing]
So, how could she have unhooked her own harness?
Your Honor, I would like to call my next witness now.
Someone who recorded everything that day.
What did you see at Valley View Point the day of the accident?
She was screaming loudly for help.
And I saw that her safety harness was open.
And he… he was pushing her away.
I recorded a video of the incident,
and later I shared it with the investigating officers.
[man] She looked so scared, ma'am. She was not strapped on to her harness.
- She was hanging midair. - [Saumya] Help!
She tried her best to grab on to his hand, but he kept pushing her away.
- All are lying. - [gavel raps]
Silence in the court!
Your Honor, the case is quite clear.
Dhruv Sood cannot control his temper.
He was extremely fed up of his wife.
He was back with Shailee once again.
While paragliding, when Saumya talked about wanting a baby,
he became so furious that he tried to murder Saumya midair.
He wanted everyone to think it was just an accident,
and Mr. Sood would be rid of his wife.
But it didn't occur to him that she would fight.
This time she would.
For the record,
this isn't the first time Dhruv Sood has faced an "attempt to murder" charge.
There's already a case against this man in the Haryana court,
in which, he lost his temper and was violent.
He shot someone and then left the victim to die.
[dramatic music swells]
[music fades]
Upon the consideration of all evidence and witness testimony,
this court declares Mr. Dhruv Sood guilty,
and he is sentenced to ten plus three years in jail
on the charges of attempt to murder and domestic abuse.
[raps stand]
- [attendees applauding] - [soft, tender music playing]
- [tender music continues] - [dialog muted]
- What the fuck, Kumar! - Sir, we'll appeal in the high court.
We'll deal with these women there. We will fight.
This isn't over yet.
- [tender music continues] - [dialog muted]
[ominous music playing]
- [woman] Congratulations, madam. - Very good, very good.
- Take this, bhai. Yes. - [indistinct chatter]
Give everyone a piece.
Come, come, come, sir.
Here you go, madam ji, some good news for you.
- For winning the case? - No, no, no, no.
Your Guplu… We've finally found a loving family for him.
I'll give him a lot of love, madam ji, and a lot of carrots, of course.
Thank you.
[Guplu clucking]
Come here, beta.
Bye, madam sir!
- Okay. - [man] Bye, madam sir!
You… You're not going home?
Uh, in ten minutes.
Okay. [coos to Guplu]
- I'm going home. - Yeah.
Come, Guplu beta.
Saw that? Madam managed to win such a complicated case so easily.
Trouble.
- [sinister music playing] - [VJ] Actually, he's right.
Was this case solved a little too easily?
No.
Maybe,
I did miss seeing what was really obvious.
While listening to her exciting story,
I got entangled to the extent
that I lost sight of the case's matter,
proof, recording
and witness.
Everything.
[sinister music playing]
And I didn't even have the slightest clue.
It was all so seamlessly planned.
[suspenseful music playing]
But they made just one mistake.
Of messing with the wrong officer.
They may have used me to win this case,
but little do they know that I will go to any extent
to dig out the deepest of secrets to find proof against them.
[dramatic music swells]
[music fades]
Madam ji, just generally asking,
what exactly are we doing here for the past two hours?
- Figuring it out. - What?
The way their minds work.
[Katoch] Did you understand anything?
- Something's not right. - Huh?
How far is Rath Maidan from here?
Just about five minutes, give or take.
And Valley View point?
That's further down. That way. About ten minutes or so.
Katoch.
I want all CCTV footage from the day of the Holi party.
[Katoch] Of course.
From the area around their house,
near Rath Maidan,
the lanes behind their store, everything.
Every small lane that leads towards Valley View Point.
[Katoch] Uh, actually, madam, we've already scanned most of the city.
But we'll definitely find it.
We'll find whatever you're looking for.
I promise you.
These things will kill you.
Keep it.
Tell me the truth.
Was Dhruv really violent with Saumya?
You knew the truth, right? That your sister is a drama queen.
Hmm? That is why you never supported her in all this.
Because you knew all along that she's a liar.
Hmm.
I wonder if Dhruv was telling the truth.
- That it was Saumya who tried to kill him. - No. She can never do that.
She never told me anything, but I think Dhruv used to beat her up.
All I know is that Saumya can hurt herself,
but she can never hurt someone else.
[VJ's dramatic theme music playing]
I suspected it all along.
That you're actually a good sister.
That was fun!
A match made in heaven.
An orphan and a destitute.
[music swells]
[music fades]
[suspenseful music playing]
[VJ] These twins tricked me
and turned a domestic violence case into attempt to murder.
Instead of three years, they got him 13 years in jail.
I won't let them get away.
This is a web of a thousand lies. I just need to find one clue.
If I can figure just one thing out.
Think, VJ.
All of their truths, their lies, all their deception
is right here in front of your eyes.
You just need to see it.
Don't forget, madam, you've already won the case.
[VJ] Didn't I tell you? This is my specialty, getting stuck.
[suspenseful music swells]
[music fades]
What's wrong?
Did we do the right thing?
You tell me.
What do you think, Shailee?
Shh!
Do what you want!
[Shailee] I was just about to leave, but then something didn't feel right.
So, I came back.
[soft thudding]
[thudding continues]
What are you doing?
- [gasps] - [rock clatters]
Show me.
Have you lost your mind? What's wrong with you?
Saumya!
It's all my fault. I could not save her.
He murdered Ma that night.
I could not save her. It's all my fault.
Papa should have been sent to jail. It's all my fault. It's all my fault.
Saumya?
Papa should have been sent to jail.
He murdered Ma that night. [voice shaking] I could not save her.
Dhruv will also not go to jail. He will also not be punished.
He is going to kill me, right? Huh?
Dhruv will get away with it. He's going to kill me.
- I'm… I'm… I'm going to die. - [Shailee] Nothing will happen to you.
You come with me.
Just pack all your things right now.
You don't need to live with Dhruv anymore, okay?
Come on. Let's go.
[Saumya] But I have two daughters.
My two little daughters.
I can't just leave them and go away.
You want to see?
[breath shaking]
Saumya and Shailee.
I have two daughters. [sobbing]
I can't just leave them and go away.
They're still so young.
How can I leave them and go away? I can't leave them and go away.
I will have to stay here. I can't leave this house.
But Dhruv is going to kill me.
Dhruv is going to kill me, and he's not going to get punished.
He's not going to get punished. He's not going to get punished.
He's going to kill me.
He's not going to get punished.
Dhruv won't get punished. It's all my fault.
It's all my fault! It's all my fault!
- It's all my fault. - Saumya! Saumya!
- [Saumya whimpering] - Saumya! Saumya!
[whimpering] It's all my fault.
Look at me.
Look at me. Look at me.
It's not your fault, okay?
Nothing will happen. I'm here with you.
Dhruv is going to pay for this.
We will make sure he does. Huh? Okay?
[blubbers] But he says that he's the top guy, huh?
But every now and then, even the top guy can be beaten to dust.
[slow, melancholic music playing]
[sobbing]
[bawling]
In Mahabharat,
Krishna asked Arjun to go fight the battle…
with honor and fulfill his duty.
[inspirational music playing]
[suspenseful music playing]
[door opens]
- [whispers] Fuck! She's back! - [door closes]
- I won't talk without my lawyer. - Oye! Sit.
Calm down.
Hmm.
Now tell me everything.
What happened on the morning of the accident?
Did both of you leave the Holi party and go straight to Valley View Point?
Or did you go anywhere else?
[suspenseful music playing]
Why did I see your car near the market when that's not on the way to the valley?
Saumya had forgotten her inhaler at the shop.
We stopped to pick it up. I was outside for a couple of minutes.
[dramatic music playing]
…she's always been afraid of heights?
And that she doesn't know anything about paragliding?
So how could she have unhooked her own harness?
- [seatbelt clicks] - [mouths in Hindi] I'll be back.
[suspenseful music playing]
[dramatic music playing]
[music swells]
[music fades]
[wind whooshing]
- [clicks] - [Dhruv in English] Hey!
- [Dhruv yelps] - Help! Help!
- Help! - Have you lost your mind?
- [Shailee] Help! - Have you lost your mind?
- [Shailee] Help me, please. Help! - [Dhruv] Saumya!
[dramatic music continues]
[chuckles softly]
- [raps table] - [chuckles]
I always knew that you are a little crazy.
[chuckles softly]
You never told the court the things that you should have.
[dramatic music playing]
Charming boy.
Stay here.
[VJ] Is there any chance you left them alone before their medical tests?
No, Madam, they were both right here. Right in front of me.
Yeah, madam, both of them went to the toilet.
But I went with them there.
Both went together?
Yes, madam. Both went inside in front of me.
[VJ] So they switched places again at the police station
to avoid any issues with the medical and DNA reports.
[dramatic music playing]
- [music continues] - [conversation muted]
[thunder rumbling]
[scoffs] Great!
Pour yourselves a few more pegs. Trust me, you're going to need it.
What a clever game the three of you played!
You switched places at the shop and switched back at the police station.
And this old woman, what an amazing performance she put up.
[restraining grunt] "I'll get the proof. I'll get the proof."
Hmm?
I'm asking the court to reopen this case.
And I'll make sure the three of you pay for what you did.
Ma'am, ma'am, please listen to me. Ma-Ma'am.
Don't touch me!
I didn't spare my own brother.
Why should I go easy on you, your sister and that old woman?
You know very well that Dhruv would have killed Saumya sooner or later.
He's capable of doing anything.
What did you want us to do? Wait for him to kill her?
And then go to court for justice?
Ma'am, that was definitely attempt to murder.
And even you know that he deserves the 13 years that he got for that.
And, anyway, what is justice?
Following the rule book blindly? No matter what happens?
Do you know Dhruv told Maaji a long time ago
that he would easily prove to everyone that Saumya is crazy.
And he almost did that in court. You saw that.
The fact is, we couldn't have done anything at all,
because everything happened behind closed doors.
And that's why we were forced to do something out in the open,
in front of everyone.
Because the court only needs proof.
And I had to get that bastard for what he did to my sister.
[thunder rumbling]
[exhales shakily, sniffles]
I only did what I believed was the right thing.
Now I'm asking you to do what you believe is right.
[thunder rumbles]
[slow pensive music playing]
[bailiff] Today's case is the appeal filed by Ms. Vidya Jyothi
to reopen the case of Dhruv Sood versus the state of Uttarakhand and others.
Ms. Jyothi, the former investigating officer,
has presented new evidence warranting reconsideration.
The court has accepted her plea for an urgent hearing.
[attendees chattering indistinctly]
[bailiff] All rise.
We can begin with the proceedings.
Your Honor.
I'm guilty.
[diabolic music playing]
If you have something to say, proceed to the witness box.
[suspenseful music playing]
[music swells]
[voice shaking] I'm guilty of my mother's death.

[soft, tender music playing]
[in English] I should have spoken up that day.
But to speak up, to take a stand,
to fight for what is right, takes a huge amount of courage.
And that kind of courage is very hard to find.
Not everyone can do it.
My mother couldn't do it.
But my sister Saumya stood up for herself and I'm very proud of her.
I know that I was stubborn and bitter and I made things difficult for her.
[voice shakes] I'm so sorry.
[sniffles]
Please never lose this courage.
[footsteps receding]
Ms. Kanwar, without wasting any more time of this court,
please present the newfound evidence
that you want this court to consider, to allow your appeal.
Yes, Your Honor.
Your Honor,
our training teaches us that the truth and evidence determine
who deserves to be punished and who is innocent.
And also how long and severe the sentence should be.
But when the truth and the evidence, right and wrong
are at odds with each other
what are we supposed to do?
Which side do we take?
The word of law?
Or the spirit of law?
This case has definitely taught me one important lesson.
When a woman suffers domestic abuse, it doesn't just hurt her.
The whole family suffers.
And almost always…
her children bear the brunt.
[low, melancholic music playing]
An entire generation suffers.
So, I take back my request to have this case reopened.
[attendees muttering indistinctly]
And I apologize to the court.
I'm sorry, Your Honor.
Are you fucking kidding me!
Have you lost your mind?
Who the hell are you to take the appeal back?
To hell with your uniform.

[VJ in English] Maybe this was justice after all.
Caught between the spirit and word of law,
this time, I chose to follow my mother's path.
[song and music fade]
[knocking on door]
[sirens blaring]
[VJ] We got a complaint.
They heard someone's being beaten up in your house.
- Is everything okay? - Yes, yes, ma'am. Everything's okay.
Anyway, this is a family matter.
Come on, shut the door and come in.
This isn't a family matter. It's a criminal matter.
[dramatic music playing]
