also consider the judgment... ...of the honorable
High Court of Odisha... ...in Government of Odisha
v/s Prathap Kutch Industries in 1958. And judgment of honorable
High Court of Tamil Nadu... ...as recent as 2011. These decisions that I humbly submit... ...are directly applicable
to the facts of this case. That's all, Your Honor. Was it okay?
- Nice. I'm allowing your appeal
on the merits of facts. So, was this a last appearance
of Advocate Aravind? Yes, Your Honor. Had been a pleasure
listening to you as a lawyer. And I welcome you as one of us. The youngest judge
of High Court I believe. Congratulations! Thank you, Your Honor. Hello. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you so much for all your wishes. Yes, everyone is good.
We can meet sometime. Okay, then. I'll call you. Son. 'Yes, Dad.' I think you are busy.
Take care of your health. - 'Yes.' Are you going to drive here alone? 'Yes, Dad.' Drive safely. 'Okay.' Come soon. 'Okay.' What did he say? He said he'll be here soon. Hello. Hi, Baldy. Dad, don't call me Baldy. Okay, fine. Give the phone to Mom. Mom! Your lawyer is on the phone.
- Yes? He's not a lawyer, Baldy. He's a judge. Say that the judge is on the phone. If you call me Baldy again... Adi, please. Don't fight. Give it to me. Hello. Yes. I'm on my way.
I want you all to be ready. We need to go to a party tonight. Okay. Welcome all. On behalf of our Indira
Nagar Telugu Society... ...we invite the youngest judge Mr.
Aravind Chandrashekar. And with him, his better half, Sangeeta. And their two little gems Arya and Aditya. Congratulations! Margoss tried really
hard for the judge's post. Relax, Margoss. You can try later. Friends, I remember how
Mr. Krishnamurthy Iyer... ...refused to take the judge's post. Sir declined the offer saying... ...I'd rather speak
sense once in a while... ...than hear nonsense all the while. Anyway, I'm not going to lose this.
I won't lose this post. I'm accepting it. I thank our community for this honor. He's full of himself.
It's very irritating. Shall we go? We haven't had dinner yet. Is the food here so special?
Let's go to a restaurant. Come on, let's go. I request Dr. M. Mohanlal to come... ...and handover the memento and wishes. Such an idiot. He thought he can bribe
his way to the judge's post. He should've had sense. He's an idiot without any integrity. But you were focused from day one. Do you know how young
he was when he started? Now he's the most successful
lawyer in Bangalore High Court. He was recently appointed as a judge. Right on track. He joined me as soon
as he completed his LLB. I worked him to the
bone with so many odd jobs. He worked as my clerk,
went grocery shopping for me... ...got my old shoes mended,
so on and so forth. Those were my offerings to my Guru. Hello. Welcome. Sir, we've a policeman with us. My friend Neil George, IPS. Hello.
- Now on special duty in Bengaluru. We worked together on
many cases when I was a lawyer. He's my best friend.
And he's Sangeeta's classmate too. Actually, it's a waste
of your time to be here. Everyone drinks except you. I'll take him inside.
Because he doesn't drink. Okay.
- Sangeeta! Yes? Give him some Horlicks.
- Horlicks? Aravind! Congratulations
on your judgeship! Oh, you can still abuse me... ...like you did when I
came to see her the first time. Oh no, I was drunk that day. It's okay.
How is your family? Are they okay? Everyone is at home.
I came here on a one month leave. Aravind, I'm leaving. I think he's a little sloshed.
I'll drop him home. Okay? Sir, I'm here. Yeah. I'm drunk.
Did I say anything inappropriate? Not at all, sir.
Be careful. I'll be honest with you.
I still miss a beat when I see you. Why so? You've a wife and kids now. It was just a college crush. Okay? I agree that it was a college crush. But I still miss a beat when I see you. You really haven't changed. I can't change. Neither can you. Go get me tea. I'll get you Horlicks. I'm not a kid to drink Horlicks.
- Go away. Tea! Does he sleep with a cap? It's your fault.
You shaved his head in the name of a vow. He lost his good looks. I'm going to sleep too. I feel tired. I'm afraid of the changes in our life. Come on, silly. The police force,
the media, the political pressure... Don't worry about it.
It's like any other job. If you are good to the job,
it will be good to you. If there's any problem,
I'll just throw the gavel in my hand. Aravind, please don't joke. Maybe the planets are
not in a favorable position. Oh, that's the problem? Aravind, I'm serious.
On your last birthday... ...the astrologer said that
your life is going to change. His words are coming true. Don't waste my time
talking of astrologers. I've to drive alone tomorrow morning.
Go to sleep. Also, you have to endure
my holy songs in the temple fair. Oh dear! That's the worst
punishment a judge can give. Let's get under the
sheets for some romance. "The bright sun rose
in a beautiful garden" "Showing off its first light" "The bright sun rose
in a beautiful garden" "Showing off its first light" "There's joy in the air" "There's mischief in your eyes" "The rains are creating a miracle" "My heart swells with joy" "Fate has been very kind to me" "My body is thrilled
hearing this joyful song" "The bright sun rose
in a beautiful garden" "Showing off its first light" "There's joy in the air" "There's mischief in your eyes" "A tiny drop of love
is enough to drench my heart" "I'll protect you with my last breath" "You are my better half, my love" "You are the melody in my song" "Your love is a sweet poem" "Devote it to me" "The bright sun rose
in a beautiful garden" "Showing off its first light" "There's joy in the air" "There's mischief in your eyes" How is your business? Good. I've to take
a decision about that land. It will fetch me a good
price because it's by the road. What do you say?
- Yes. After my retirement... ...I gave my property to both my sons. My older son opened a shop in it. But my younger son kept his land intact. That's what they are talking about. Think about it. Or else, you can build... ...a good house here after retirement. Okay. And come home for dinner tonight.
- Okay. Keep this inside.
We'll give it to the kids later. Okay.
- Lakhsmi, get me some water. Okay. Hello, Aravind here. 'Hello, Aravind sir.' Hello?
'- Hello.' One minute. Can you hear me? 'Loud and clear, Aravind sir.' Hello. Who is this? 'When you get a call
from a private number...' '...you should know that
he's an important person.' Oh, it's fat Jose from Dubai. Am I right?
- 'Okay, I'll be Jose.' 'You have the power to
judge the whole country now.' 'What a life you've got now, sir!' Hey. Who is this? 'How is this fair, sir?
The law of the land.' 'Some are heaped with
praise and congratulations.' 'Do you know that people
are suffering because of them?' Nonsense. What's wrong? You look very troubled. Nothing, Dad. Alright, I'll see you later.
- Okay. I've some work.
My wife and kids will stay here. We'll meet tonight.
- Okay. Hello.
- 'Hello. Is Aravind sir at home?' Yes, he's here. I'll call him.
- 'Okay.' Aravind, someone called for you. Hello. Aravind here. 'I'm Jose here. Fat Jose from Dubai.' 'Hello?' I see. Just a minute. He's not able to get through
to your phone it seems. Someone named Jose. Who is this Jose who knows my number? Is Jose postman Varghese's son? 'If you end my calls,
I'll keep doing this.' 'Uncle Bala, other uncles...' '...your aunt from neighboring village...' '...Aunt Janaki,
Lalitha, I'll call on their numbers.' 'That means I'm here. Close-by.' Hey. Who the heck are you, man?
Who are you? What do you want? 'I don't want anything from you.
You've everything.' 'You've everything. Top job. Money.' 'A smart and beautiful daughter.' 'Arya looks pretty in
her orange traditional dress.' Where is Arya? She went that way. Where are Arya and the kids? They are playing.
There's lots of place here to play. Boo! Oh no! Dad! Did I scare you? What are you doing here all alone? I am playing hide and seek.
I scared you, right? Yes, you did.
- Arya! I'm coming. 'Hello. Aravind sir.' Are you trying to scare me? 'Your daughter scared you, not me.' 'She's playing hide and seek.
She's good at it.' 'Shall we play hide and seek too?' 'The game of hide and seek.
Just you and me. Let's play.' Get lost! Grandpa is going to tell you a story. There was a king named Dasharatha. Do you know how many children he had? How many?
- He had four sons. They were handsome and brave. I'm telling them a bedtime story. Aren't they going to sleep? We'll sleep here tonight, Dad. You both sleep here tonight. Okay?
- Yes. My darling boy. Should I continue the story? His four sons study well.
Do you who their Guru was? Sage Vasishtha. Hello, sir.
- Hello, sir. Hello. Aravind! Wait! When did you come? I heard you became a judge.
How much do they pay you? Not as much as you think. Okay, tell me something.
Do you punish people? That's what everyone says. I'm going to the library.
I'll talk to you when I return. Aravind, wait!
Shall we meet in the evening? Meet me. Are you very busy? Oh dear! I'm a little busy. The king of Panchala called
suitors from everywhere... ...so that his daughter
Panchali can choose a man. Suitors from all the
kingdoms of the earth... ...accepted the king's
request and came to his kingdom. Princes who were brave and courageous... ...gathered in the kingdom of Panchala. Hello. Hello. King! Who is speaking from the other side? What's the matter? Princes from eight directions
came to the kingdom. I said princes, not monkeys. So, the princes came
to the kingdom of Panchala... ...so that Panchali can choose
one of them as her husband... What's wrong, Aravind? Nothing. Go back to sleep. Oh. You want me to sleep
so that you can drive rashly? Not at all. You start acting like
a racer when you drive. Do you've to cut lanes and drive so fast? Aravind! Aravind, stop it!
- There's no speed limit here. But we've children in the car. Dad, we are not scared.
- Stop it, Aravind. You can go faster.
- Quiet. We are safe here, Mom. Faster, Dad! Faster! What happened to you today? Come on, Dad! Come on!
- Come on, Dad! Come on! Aravind, please. Let that car overtake us. Aravind, please. Can you please be silent? Aravind, stop it. Aravind, careful. I need to know who is
trying so hard to follow us. What happened? Private defense. Aravind, stop it. So, guys! After Aravind
sir's swearing in is done. We are all on our own. But the firm continues to be as usual. Depending on the importance of the case... ...we can divide the load and work on it. That's what Aravind sir said. So, constructions,
contracts and apartments. Prabha, it's yours.
- Okay. We'll give the easiest section to Venkat.
The liquor section. He doesn't drink.
So, how will he deal with this case? Maybe one of us should take it. Let's do this.
Let's give it our favorite Anne. Anne can experiment on it at her home. Her husband loves to drink. Huh? Forget Anne. He'll take this case. Then I'll be left with brawlers,
pickpockets and frauds. Alright, fine. Sir, I organized the old
cases into separate bundles. What else do you want me to do?
- Keep them in the chamber office. Aravind sir will take the call. Okay, sir. Aravind sir's career
is simply enviable, right? He has had every advocate's dream run. God bless him! Hide and seek. Hmm? What? You said something. Nothing. Watchman!
Where did he go at this hour? Who is it? Who is there? Who's that? Who are you? What do you want? Who are you?
Why are you harassing me like this? What do you want? Can you hear me? That's the spirit. Does the judge remember
a poor man's house? Why did you come so far to see me?
What's up? Stop it, Margoss!
Stop the game you are playing. Stop! Stop it now! Why? It's a very interesting game. Don't you play it? PS3 NFS Underground. Why should I stop? It's quite interesting. Look, Mr. Margoss! The threatening phone calls... ...hiring movie stuntmen
to chase my car... ...a childish hide and seek game... ...but yesterday was the limit. If you harm my family in any way... I don't understand what you are saying,
Mr. Aravind. What do you mean? Look, Margoss!
If you have any issues with my posting... ...go complain to the judges. This is not the way to deal with it. Oh.
- Yay! You won. Good game. Bingo. Mr. Aravind,
you don't make any sense to me. What would you like to have?
Coffee or tea? Rita! Hey, wait. Stop it now! Aravind, you are not
going to the Olympics. Why are you playing so hard? To release my stress. Bye, Dad.
- Bye. Come fast. Go, go, go. Finish your lunch box, okay? Go, go, go. Take this bag. Isn't Benson driving today? He's not well.
- Oh okay. Bye.
- Bye. Bye, Adi.
- Bye! Bye! Bye! Bye! I helped him into the school bus.
It was a new driver. Benson is not well. Aravind, I got a call
from the service center. The car is ready. I'll go and get it. I'll go the temple on the way. I wanted to take an auto
after sending Adi to school. Bye. See you. Good morning, baby.
How are you feeling today? You don't have a fever now. That's good. You can go
to school after the first period. No. Okay. Don't go.
Do you want to have some Horlicks? Bhagyamma! Bring Horlicks for Arya. Go, drink it. I'm feeling sleepy. I'll go back to sleep. Okay. Adi! Adi! Uncle, is Adi still sleeping? He has gone to school. Why didn't you go? Are you not well? I'm okay, but there is no school today. The school peon died,
or something like that. I thought Suman would've told Adi. He didn't tell. Okay. Bye, uncle. Bye. The staff at school is stupid.
They are so careless. They don't pass on the right information. The poor boy got up
early in the morning... Why did the school
bus come to pick him up? How is it possible? You? What's wrong, sir? Whom did you send home to pick up my son? I didn't send anyone.
- You didn't? Since the school is closed... ...I'm taking the bus to the workshop.
- Oh God! What's wrong, sir?
- Then who was that man? Dad! Dad! Adi!
- Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad!
- Adi! Dad! Dad!
- Just a minute. I'm coming. Dad! Dad!
- Move aside. Stand aside. Dad!
- Come here, my boy. Don't cry. You are okay. Don't cry, my boy. You are safe. I'm here now. Don't cry. Don't cry, my boy. Don't cry. The driver said that he'll go... ...and check why there
is no one at school. Why was the school empty today? The school is closed today.
I just found out. Are you okay? I was just a little scared.
But I was okay after seeing you. This is your mom's fault.
She should've checked. Where is mom, Dad? She went to bring the car... Oh dear. What is this new problem? Hello? Hello, Aravind.
- Sangeeta, where are you? I'm near New Horizon School. The car broke down again. Okay, stay there. I'm coming. Come soon, Aravind.
- I'm coming. What happened to your hand? The car stopped and
refused to start again. I tried to check what's wrong... ...but I got hurt.
It was like an electric shock. We just got it back
from the service center... ...and there's a new problem again. Did you call and inform
the service center? Yes, I did. They will collect the car.
You get on the bike. How come Adi is here?
Aren't you feeling well? The school was closed today. Dad brought me back.
- Why was the school closed? I'll explain later. Get on the bike. Arya!
- Arya! Darling! Arya! Arya! Lindo! Yes, sir?
- Where is Arya? She went to the Forum Mall with Bhagya. Where is Arya? She was with me a minute ago.
Now she's missing. That's my Dad! Where did you get the ice-cream from? The uncle bought it for me. You shouldn't accept
food from strangers. Okay? I'll buy another one for you. Okay? Hmm. I wanted to give you extra security... ...as soon as you were
appointed as the new judge. But you refused it. You wanted to wait to
see if it was really necessary. You should've informed
me after you got the phone call. But I've been telling
you this since yesterday. I told you. I thought it was a prank. It started out as cheap ego
and ended being a cheap publicity stunt. What did the commissioner say? I explained everything
to the commissioner. Sir! Hello.
- Hi. Good morning.
- Good morning. What is Mr. Margoss doing here? Actually, he has filed
a complaint against you... ...alleging you of trespassing,
breaking of furniture... ...terrorizing his family.
I just calling him to discuss about it. After the prank calls and the car chase... ...I thought that Margoss was behind it. What I did at his home
was just out of my frustration. I'm sorry.
I hope you can understand my situation. It's okay, Mr.
Aravind. I can understand you. Anyone would react like
that in those circumstances. And I didn't make it easy for you. It's okay. Great, that takes care of it. Now the question is
who is the real culprit? Be assured, Aravind. We'll track him. Once again,
on behalf of all teachers and staff... ...we thank Aravind sir
for gracing this occasion... Someone is desperately
after me for something. Have a nice conference. Thank you, sir.
Thank you for your comments. Hi. Thank you. What's your name, baby? You are not fit to be a judge. Resign to the post and leave this town. A little girl gave me a flower
and said I'm not fit to be a judge. Somebody thinks I'm not fit for the job. The state governor,
chief judges or the president... ...will decide if you
are fit for the job or not. So, everyone else can shut up. Menon, please don't give me that look. Aravind already knows that
I have nothing to do with this. Look, I would never think of... ...physically harassing Aravind's family. They are the same, whoever they are. They don't want to attack me or my family. How do you know that
they don't want to attack you? What they did to Adi in the school bus... I agree that the school bus was locked... ...but the AC was on. It was the same in Sangeeta
and Arya's case too. But they are definitely
trying to shock me and scare me. But why? Why? Maybe they want money from you. Does this have anything
to do with one of your old cases? Maybe your old clients,
or the clients that you defeated. Criminals will never
use such round about ways. Criminals just directly attack. They don't need to play
the game of hide and seek... ...and harass him. I thought I had a pretty
decent law career, guys. I don't know why they
would want to hurt me. I really don't know. There's no chance that
you made a mistake... ...and you don't even have foes. You've been protecting the law till now... ...to court and conscience alike. We can wait for his call
and then we can nab him. Or, just inform the cyber cell. And you look into your files, man. Deep. Real deep. Wait. Let me take a look. What are we searching for? Why did you take the
file if you didn't know that? Rajan! Yes? What and where do we start? If Aravind has made a factual error... ...he must've made a mistake somewhere. Do you think he can make a mistake? That's what we are looking for. Anyway, let's start from the beginning. Especially criminal cases. Sir.
- Any update? He got calls from his family,
his seniors and juniors. He got 100 congratulatory calls. No crime calls.
I checked it. All innocent calls. If he gets a call,
immediately trace the location. Definitely, sir. Within 30 seconds we'll
find out if it's a landline... ...duplicate or a stolen sim,
or anything else. Hmm. Sir. 'Sangeeta, what's going on?' Neil said there's no problem. I think it's a professional problem. 'I see.' Yes, I think they sorted it out. 'Should I send your father?' Mom, please.
Don't increase Dad's blood pressure... ...by telling him these things. 'What about the vow?' We can fulfill it at a later time. It's a family call. I'll call you back. You carry on.
- Sir. Keep me informed.
- Okay, sir. Hello. Get the line quickly. Hello, Father.
- Hello. I wanted to come and see you. But I heard that you don't like... ...displays of attention,
gifts and congratulations. That's why I didn't come to you. When our church faced some
problems in other countries... ...you've supported us and
we will never forget that help. Personally speaking,
I can't thank you enough... ...for what you have done for me. If it wasn't for you... Our prayers will include
you and your family every day. God's mercy will always
be in your heart and your home. Okay, fine.
- God bless you! Hello. Aravind here. Hello, sir. It's been a
long time since I spoke to you. Oh, you are back. Adil, track the GPS now! Ajay!
- Yes, sir? Call Neil sir right now.
- Okay, sir. I thought you left since
you didn't call me for days. Superb, sir. That's it. Keep talking. You found out that Margoss didn't do it.
Who will you blame now? You started the game. You tell me. Are you sure?
- Yeah. Sure, sir. Brigade Road area, closest landmark is... ...Levi Square, Church Street. Connect me to Ashok Nagar CI. Get me the whole team there. One second. Aravind, he's in Brigade Road. Levi Square, Church Street.
Keep on talking. Okay. Sorry, Jose. Hello? The dogs are here, sir.
Soon you'll know who we all are. Soon. Very soon. Darn! I'm almost there. Where is this guy? Sir, he's on the run.
Our guys are chasing him. Did you find him? No, but they almost caught him. You go home. No, he's in the car. We can ask a constable
to drop him home. Okay? I'll come with you. Come here.
- Go home, Adi. Okay? Okay, Dad.
- Take the car and go. Wait. No. Once you are caught in
the game of hide and seek... ...the game is over. No. This game is not over yet. Wait! Clear out! Who the heck is this? Move! What are you looking at? Move! Move! Get out of here! Come on! Go! Come on, move! Get out of here!
Move! Can't you hear me? I said move! I need a cigarette. Who is this young man? Who is he? Who was he? Don't you remember seeing him anywhere? No.
- Like, think out of the box. Someone who is connected
to your profession. Someone from oblique memory. No, not someone I recollect. We searched his body
but we didn't find anything... ...that can reveal his identity. He's a complete stranger to me. But he played hide and seek with me... ...harassed me and finally... ...he showed himself and finally... He's dead.
It's over. Let's leave it at that... ...whatever it may be. Just leave it. How can I leave it? It's about me. What was my role in his life?
What did I do? How did I harm him? I don't know. Did I do something,
or didn't do something he wanted? Or did I promise him
that I'd do something? I'm confused. I don't know. Did I do something wrong? Aravind... Mom, you don't have to stay here. Go home. It's not a trouble. I don't have to go home
until he's back from the tour. Lawyer! All okay? Yes. You made me rest here for two days.
So, I'm fine. Reports look fair. Nothing to worry.
Everything is normal. Okay? This is what doctors do.
They never give complete details. The reports are here.
What's so great about that? You won't find anything in the reports.
- Aravind, please. Doctor, you tell me. You can take discharge
and go home tomorrow or today. Hmm. Taking a break for two
days has helped you a lot. You can check out any time. Take care. You blacked out because
of too much stress. What do you mean?
- Nothing. He shouldn't take too much stress. What if he takes stress? Mrs. Aravind, he's perfectly alright. Aravind, you can get back
to your normal life. Okay? Thank you. Once I take discharge,
you keep her here for two days... ...to bring her anxiety levels down. Aravind, stop it. Okay, take care. Bye.
- Okay. Bye. Did you hear what the doctor said? God has heard my prayers. I've to fulfill my
vow as soon as I go home. Mom, the roads to our
village are under repair. There's an Ayyappa Swami Temple here. We can go there and do the 'puja'. Okay? We shouldn't negotiate with God. Okay, Mom. We'll do it
once I get discharged from here. Sangeeta, take Mom home. Salim will stay here with me. Mom will make more vows if she's here.
Take her home. Let's go home. No, Neil sir.
Aravind sir told us to check... ...the dead guy's background
to find out his identity. Yes, sir? Yes, the same day he
was admitted in the hospital. I got a message from him. No, sir. I'm still searching. Okay, sir. Rajan sir!
- Yes? You are not going to believe this. Roy Stephen. Case number 1183. A girl named Lizzy
was raped near Kasimkota... ...and he was the seventh
accused man in that case. There were 30 members in the list... ...but only eight people were punished. Roy was one of them. Aravind handled this case. Maybe he made a mistake... Aravind sir had nothing
to do with this case, sir. What? Then why did they do that to him? The eight men who were accused of rape... ...were sentenced to five years in prison. Lizzy got married within
two to three years of the verdict. She went to a church for counseling... ...and John gave her
the needed counseling. The Father of the church helped them out. "Like the clouds sparkling in the rain" "Like the soothing melody of a flute" "I'm surrounded by beautiful memories" "With the serene moonlight as my witness" "Like the clouds sparkling in the rain" Lizzy went missing on the third day... ...after Roy and his
friends were released. Missing. But in all
probability she was murdered. Her blood was splattered
all over the room. The forensic reports stated that... ...she wouldn't have survived
after losing so much blood. Her body has never been found till date. But tell me,
how is Aravind connected with this? Lizzy's husband John was
arrested as a prime suspect. The court sentenced him
to prison for killing her. Then the case came to the higher court. Aravind appealed for
John in the higher court. That's the last criminal
case that Aravind sir took up. I appear for the accused
John in Crime 32/10, Your Honor. John grew up in the church's orphanage. I knew him from the
time he was a little kid. John was a really good guy. He can never do something like this. John gave a new life
to a girl who was raped... ...and expelled from society. Do you think he's capable
of killing that girl? My church and I trust you to save him. Okay. See you later, Father. Okay, bye.
- Okay, Father. God bless you!
- Hmm. Hide and seek, right? Yes, sir. Hide and seek. I'd like to call another
witness to prove... ...that the accused standing
in the witness box is not guilty. I request the permission of the court. Lizzy has been playing hide and seek... ...with the court, John and us. The game of hide and seek. The game of hide and seek?
What do you mean, Aravind? Yes, Your Honor. She'll end her game of hide and seek... ...and she'll appear
in front of the court now. Many think that she has
been murdered and she's dead. And some strongly believe it. So, I present the accused's
wife Lizzy alias Lizzy John. I hope you are serious. Absolutely, Your Honor.
At the count of three. At the count of three, Lizzy John... ...will open those doors and come inside.
You'll see her. May I? One. Two. And three. What's happening, counsel Aravind? Lizzy John is not here. Mr. Aravind, is this a joke to you? No, Your Honor. A small doubt, a small hope
that Lizzy John is still alive... ...made everyone in the
court including the judge... ...look at those doors
in great anticipation. And that is my point. The case is still under
trail without any evidence... ...that she is really dead. They have accused him of murder... ...to taint him as a criminal, Your Honor. The real criminals are
playing a game of hide and seek. They have destroyed
Lizzy's innocence and heart. They are still roaming free. They are playing hide
and seek with law and justice. They should be brought to justice. They released John
when we took up the case. But when the reinvestigation
orders were given... ...those eight men
were arrested once again. But later they were released
because of lack of evidence. One of those guys committed suicide. His name was Rajashekhar. Now Roy is dead. Since you turned the case against them... ...they are trying to hunt you down. Maybe they are innocent. We know that it wasn't John.
Who else could it be? Lizzy went missing or was murdered. Whatever it was,
it's in the cold storage now. An unresolved case. Crime Branch couldn't find her body. One man committed suicide... ...and another man died in an accident. I don't think this is going to end. Margoss! Can you file a petition... ...to reopen Lizzy John's missing case? Is that necessary, Aravind? It will be a disgrace to you... ...because of the present situation. You are risking your career, man. Youngest judge of the High Court. Clean track records.
Do you want to lose them? It's a big risk, Aravind. Don't do it. Why? The other six guys will hunt me down. I've to get my hands dirty
and prove that they are innocent. Ideally Aravind,
you shouldn't have to do this. But unfortunately in this case... ...we don't have a good
handle on all your old cases. That's our problem. This will affect your career,
your juniors... ...and your name and fame. Then I'll do it myself. You'll be here, right? I'll be here.
But I don't want you to take this case. I've to correct the mistake
I made in my judgment. Otherwise I can't face
you all during the future cases. You might not think about it... ...but my conscience
will keep taunting me... ...that I'm not fit for this post. Bury your past, my friend. Past is like a shadow.
It will follow you all your life. But I want to clear
certain things for myself. Good morning, madam. Oh. When did you come? I thought about it all night.
- Hmm. We'll go to my hometown
to fulfill all our vows... ...and take care of some old commitments. Oh God! Seriously? Yes. I made all the
necessary arrangements. We'll leave the kids
with your parents. Okay? Everybody needs a reason to pray. Me too. Hmm. You want to reinvestigate this case. I'm sure Jesus has a purpose behind it. He's in the same village.
He runs a boat in the dam... ...and does small odd jobs. John still believes that Lizzy is alive... ...and is waiting for her to be back. Relax. My priority was to
get you out of that case. Nobody thought about what you'd feel... ...or how you'd react. That's why. I never blamed those eight men. But why are they after you, sir? Because they think that I'm their enemy. Sir, you are going to be a judge. If you pursue this case,
they may harm you or your family. Hey, I can take care of that. How are you? Are you okay? I'm okay, sir. I can't leave this place... ...because she's here amidst the nature. Did Lizzy look scared that day? Did you feel she's
hiding something from you? Any change in her behavior? She was very happy, sir. Very happy. Then what was the problem? They murdered my daughter, sir. Then they framed poor John for it. DSP Sajan helped them too. We didn't even get to
see our daughter's dead body. Who knows where she is? Did he ever tell you
that he suspects someone? No. Maybe I made a mistake.
If he wants to talk to me... ...ask him to meet me or call me. Okay? Hmm. Don't just stand there. Say something. We are innocent. We didn't kill her, sir. After we were released the first time... ...we went to meet Lizzy
to ask her forgiveness. Rajashekhar sir who died,
the one who committed suicide... ...he was a senior politician. I served a sentence for what I did. But my conscience still pricks me. That's why I came to ask her forgiveness. Please convey this to John. I want to promise
something to both of you. I'll arrange government jobs for you... ...with monthly salaries
and a pension after retirement. He promised jobs to Lizzy and John. So, why would we kill Lizzy? I'll be happy when I see you both happy. Aravind sir has to prove
that we didn't kill Lizzy. That's why we did it. You may justify your actions,
but that is not... ...a valid reason to
harass and trouble Aravind. Right? I arrested John based on the evidence. And as you think,
I did that to save those eight men. Rajashekhar who committed suicide,
was he your relative? Yes. He killed himself
when he was released on bail. You saved John but in doing so... ...you turned the case against them. They have suffered for things
that they did and didn't do. They lost everything. When they all heard that
you were appointed as judge... ...they became one to fight for justice. Roy and Rajashekhar
died for the same cause. They don't know who killed Lizzy. They didn't do it.
They trust you to clear their names. That's why they behaved in that manner. But they won't trouble
you in the future. Trust me. Hmm. Thank you. Hello. Yes, Menon sir. I'm in the court's record room. No, sir. Neil met the six men. It's not them. Someone else
is responsible for the murder. Yes, I'll investigate that angle too. Aravind sir called
you and informed about it. Why do you want to know what happened? Just a recheck, that's all. Where were you that day? Adi. Did you finish your homework? Very good. Actually, Dad has gone out. Even I couldn't get through to his phone. I'll tell him to call you. Okay? Aravind, pick up. Isn't that the route
to get to the reservoir? That's the old route to the reservoir. According to the new route... ...we need to go straight and take a left. Sir, the vehicle can't go any further.
We've to walk. That was Lizzy John's house. Some Bengalis live there
now and take care of the garden. I'll get it cleared. Hello. Come out. Come on, clear the place. Gokul, come out.
- Hurry up. Stand that side. Come on. Yes, tell me. Actually... Aravind... What happened to Aravind? Where are you? We are in the guesthouse in the village. Aravind looks very troubled. Didn't you fulfill your vows? No, we did that.
But he just disappears sometimes. He doesn't answer me when I ask. You said in Bengaluru that
all the problems are solved. Is there something else? What else could there be, Sangeeta? He may have some official commitments.
That's all. Commitments. He said the same thing. Neil, tell me the truth. Is Aravind having an affair? Is Aravind capable of having an affair? You are talking like the
wife of a High Court judge. We can't change a woman's thinking. Sangeeta, there's nothing like that. What?
- I assure you. Aravind is a one woman man. I worried without a reason.
I'll talk to you later. Hmm. Oh God! Oh no, another woman. Hello. She was my only family. We didn't kill her, sir. Then men who raped
her must've murdered her. I'm sure they did it. Severe blood loss.
She has definitely died. All the evidence was against John, sir. But we couldn't find the body. Corpus delicti. No body, no murder. After John left for night duty,
Lizzy and I had dinner. She was happy.
They had no problems in their marriage. It was around 2 a.m.
I saw a bike go that way. But John didn't have a bike. I heard her father declare
at the toddy shop... ...that he'd kill her for
bringing disgrace to the family. Lizzy's father would
never do such a thing. He's a very good man. I'm sure the black man did it. I knew him ever since he was a little kid. He grew up in my orphanage. Sir, the MLA of this village
is involved in this case. No action was taken against him. At the count of three,
Lizzy who went missing... ...will come in through these doors.
You'll see her. May I? Yes, Neil. 'Where are you?' I'm here. 'At the court?' Yes, at the district court.
- 'Do you want me to come?' No, it's okay. I'm alright. I'll take care of it. Neil, I think the killer was here. When I was defending John... ...I'm sure the killer
was in the courtroom... ...following me like my shadow. He must've been observing me. Let's see. At the count of three. At the count of three, Lizzy John... ...will open those doors and come inside.
You'll see her. Aravind? Good morning.
If you get dressed quickly... ...we've to go somewhere. Here's the newspaper and milk.
Please make tea. Come out. I got him. Who? Hide and seek. I said Lizzy will come in
at the count of three, remember? Yeah.
- He was at the court. He was there in the very court itself. Really?
- Hmm. She'll end her game of hide and seek... ...and she'll appear
in front of the court now. One. By the time I counted three... ...everyone was looking at the doors. The judge,
the bench clerks, the lawyers... ...the police officers,
visitors, everybody... ...except one person. Everybody. Everybody except one. When everybody was looking at the doors... ...one man was looking at the ground. The reason?
He knew that the girl wouldn't come. Only he knew that the girl was dead. Because he's the one who killed her. It was none other than
the man I saved from this case. John. All the evidence that the DSP gathered... ...to save his friends was on point. When he was about to lose the case... ...the Father from
the church came and met me. I accepted the case out
of respect for him and won it. And that case happens
to be my last criminal case. Hmm. Since the court let him go home... ...there were no further
investigations done on him. It was my fault. An error. A mistake. A small negligence.
And two people lost their lives. I need to know why that happened. For what? Just out of curiosity? No. For justice. But there's still one question left. Body?
- Yes. I've a guess. Did he say it knowingly, or unknowingly? Or did he say it on purpose? I've to hear it from him. She's here amidst the nature. We've to solve the mystery. Shall we? John is not such a good guy. He has received counseling
by the church counsel... ...for his mental illness. He didn't want to marry her. Since the Father insisted on it... ...he agreed to marry
Lizzy who was a rape victim. Father thought he'd
get well after the wedding. John's arrest will bring
a bad name to the church. Maybe that's why Father
has not mentioned it. This is a very old case. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder. He was discharged
after he recovered fully. Okay. Alright. John's place is locked. He hasn't reached the resort yet. Don't tell him. It's a casual enquiry. We need him. So, no action. Yes, Prabha. What? John met Lizzy in the
church's counseling center. Oh.
- He was the man who gave her counseling. But the irony is that,
he was there for counseling too. Really?
- Yes. For delinquent behavior. Bipolar disorder. Don't tell me.
- Yes. He was a mad man with a mental illness. Wait a minute.
- What? Back. This way?
- Hmm. Sure?
- Hmm. If our guess is right. I read the case diary the
DSP wrote when he arrested John. His observations on
how the murder took place. Lizzy, I'm leaving. Close the door. 'According to the plan,
John left for the resort...' '...for night duty while
people were watching him.' 'But he came in through
the back door and hid inside.' As I told you, John himself said it. But I'm sure this is where he brought her. Maybe the water level was
high and the body got stuck. Maybe he tied a heavy stone
to the body to keep it down. She's here. I'm sure Lizzy is right here... ...playing hide and seek with us. We've to find her at any cost.
At least her remains. Only then we can resolve this case. Can you organize it? Sure.
- Now? Yeah. But I can't organize
it on a phone call. The policemen are in the city. We've to go and collect them. Come, let's go.
- Okay, I'll wait here. You go. Sure. Sorry, Sangeeta. I'm sorry
for leaving without informing you. I'll tell you an interesting
story when I come home. An unforgettable story. Yes, sir. You'll never forget this story. Hey! Who is this? It's the story of a mad
man killing a dirty woman. John, where are you? What do you want, John?
What do you intend to do? Where is my Sangeeta? She became a part of this story. John, don't make me angry. Where are you? I'm at a low place. How can there be low places in a forest? Follow the sun. It will show you the way. Ask them to hurry up. Fast! Hurry up!
- Hello. Come on, hurry up! Sir, I brought the officers
from the forest range. I'll find some more men at the reservoir. They are going to open
the Appa Mangala Dam tomorrow. So, we need to do it tonight itself. John! John! You! Where is she? Where is Sangeeta? She's right here.
I don't know boxing or wrestling. But your wife is with me.
Do you want to go to her? Where is she? This way.
- Hmm. The motor is not working. Since it's your work, you row the boat. This is your fault.
I wanted to leave this village. The church's Father
made all the arrangements. He got me a ticket and visa. We need to keep moving
forward in our lives. Those eight men harassed
you and ruined everything. They ruined my plan. They should've left this case alone. Your wife is in that boat. Shut up, you rascal! Row faster. You better hurry up. That's an old boat.
I'm sure it is filled with water by now. You need medical help, John. Don't make this worse. What? Pretending to
love her for two years? I endured a lot of things, sir. But I couldn't tolerate
what happened that day. She was so happy.
She had a glow in her face. He came to see her the
next day after he was released... ...along with her father
when I was not at home. That pathetic woman invited
those rapists into our home... ...and served them coffee and tea. Santosh!
- Sir? Are the divers here?
- Yes, sir. Come on, hurry. Sangeeta! Sangeeta! Sangeeta? I told you it's an old boat
and it will be filled with water. This is that boat. This is so strange. She was under you the whole
time but you couldn't find her. This is your wife's fate. That won't work. It has no paddles too. Sangeeta! It's a deep river.
You can't survive even if you swim. Sangeeta, don't panic. I'm there. I'm there. Relax. Hey! Relax, sir. You can watch us drown. You! You keep showing up even after death.
You are a dirty woman! Sorry, madam. I'm a little... But your husband is normal.
Why is he after me? Sangeeta! Sangeeta! So, you won't spare me? I brought her here for you. Not to blackmail you and escape. She's been deceiving you all these years. She behaves indecently
with her college lover Neil... ...when you are not at home.
- Shut up! If I don't hit you now you'd
think that I'm mad like you. You are not a criminal.
You are innocent. You are good. Do you know why Lizzy was happy that day? Do you know?
- Why? Because those rascals
came to apologize to her? - No. Because they promised her a job?
- No. I know everything. It was all an act. Was it an act to be pregnant
with a mad man's child? Was it an act to run
to you to share that news? Huh? What are you talking about? Didn't you get it? She was pregnant with your child. She ran to you to share that news. She found out that very day. But you didn't have the
time or patience to listen to her. Your mind was filled with suspicion. And you killed her!
You murdered her! I didn't know that.
She didn't tell me about it. You are lying to me. I saw the autopsy report.
It said she was pregnant. She wanted to surprise you with the news. But she didn't know that
you were going to surprise her. How did you know that she was pregnant? I saw the autopsy report. Autopsy report?
You mean the post mortem report? How would you do a
post mortem without a body? Her body is right here. I threw it in the river. You are lying to me. A lawyer never lies to save a criminal... ...but he lies to save the truth. Aravind! Hey! Sir, it's here. Come here. I... I, Aravind Chandrashekhar... ...having been appointed judge
f the High Court of Karnataka... ...do swear in the name of God... ...that I'll bear truth
faith and allegiance... ...to the constitution
of India as by law established... ...that I'll duly and faithfully... ...and to the best of my ability,
knowledge and judgment... ...perform the duties of my office... ...without fear and favor,
affection or ill-will... ...and that I'll uphold
the constitution and the laws.
