Mobaroknama

Why didn't you tell me about your relationship with Roman?

Why did I have to find out from Sabnin in court?

Tell me what else have you been up to.

Or else, I won't be able to fight Sabnin.

I was in a relationship with Sakib.

Roman was just my friend.

Then why did you go to a Gazipur resort with him?

I never went there.

You went to Cox's Bazar with him.

This is not the time to feel shy.

I'm your lawyer. Tell me the truth.

Or else, we'll lose the case.

Is this a game?

I'm not an idiot!

Why should I be responsible for your failures?

You're Mobarok, the great.

How did a rapist get bail then?

Can you even face Sabnin in court?

Doesn't look like it.

Let alone defeating her.

Wait.

You're lucky.

Because I have a sister like you?

No.

Because Mobarok is not in form.

Had he been in form...

you wouldn't have got bail so easily.

You have no idea how dangerous he can be.

He's like a wounded lion now.

But it's good in a way.

We have to take advantage of the situation.

If we want to win against him

we have to take control outside the court as well.

TALE OF MOBAROK

Hello.

I won't bother you.

I just want talk to Abida. Please.

Abida.

Abida.

Mom.

He wants to talk to you.

Wrap it up quickly and get rid of him.

Hey! Where are you going?

I won't stay here anymore.

I'm leaving.

- I quit. - Go inside.

Go inside.

- Aunty. - Go inside.

- But Aunty... - Come on.

- I won't stay here. - Sit.

- How will I... - Okay.

Leave.

But let Abida go

- to her in-law's first. - Please let me go.

Not so loud!

Come on.

Tell me.

Who do you love most in your family?

Zarina.

I'd like to have a word with you.

Who are you?

Suraiya's lawyer.

You've know her since she was a kid.

You've been with her.

You are a woman too.

You'll understand her pain better than me.

I'm sure you want her to get justice.

Tell me.

What happened that day?

Nobody's around. Tell me.

Your Honour.

I have a question before I begin.

How much would a five-day trip to Mauritius trip for two cost?

No idea.

I see.

Any idea, Sabnin?

I don't understand

why the prosecution is coming up with irrelevant questions.

I just asked for help from a friend.

Or do you take fees for talking to a friend too?

Mobarok.

I was looking at the photos from your Mauritius trip.

I really liked them.

But some people had left lewd comments about your dressing.

They were quite disturbing.

Your Honour, this has become a major concern these days.

Well, on this point I do agree with you.

I feel like filing a case against those people.

Let's come to the point, Sabnin.

You have the power and privilege.

You're capable of filing a case.

But those who are not privileged

will definitely have their backs against the wall.

And then they're bound to retaliate.

Keramat Ali is a old man.

But he hasn't got over his desire to feel up young women.

He touched Suraiya in an inappropriate way.

And that's when she pulled down his pants

to teach him a lesson.

Your Honour.

What do sexual predators like him want?

They want women to bow down before them.

They want women to remain silent.

And if she speaks up, they label her as characterless.

That's exactly what happened with Suraiya.

In the initial hearings of the case...

we were told about the condoms in Suraiya's bag.

We were told Suraiya had an abortion.

The defense used them to label her characterless.

But I would like to present a report before the court.

This is Suraiya's medical report from last week.

It clearly states

she has never been pregnant. Let alone having an abortion.

Everyone must be surprised.

Let me explain.

Suraiya had a friend. I don't want to disclose her name.

She wanted to help her.

Suraiya took her to the clinic for her abortion.

She used her own name to keep her friend's name discreet.

When asked about the husband

Suraiya panicked and put down her boyfriend, Sakib's name.

And that's when things got messed up.

Your Honour, this case clearly reflects

our collective mentality.

We apparently live in a modern society.

But our mentality is still regressive.

We do use smart phones, but we couldn't update ourselves.

No one bats an eyelid when men smoke.

But if a women smokes, rides a scooter or drinks...

society labels her shameless.

Women are harassed every day on public transport.

They are misbehaved with.

And if someone protests, she is body-shamed.

She is considered unattractive.

Can you imagine?

Your Honour.

When will this end?

Your Honour.

I don't understand.

Is this a sociology class?

What's the point of his irrelevant lecture?

Sabnin.

You're always in a rush.

Your Honour.

My "lecture" is relevant to the case.

I request your permission

to present someone before the court.

My next witness...

might be a threat to some.

Are you Zinat Ara Supti?

Yes.

Do you know Mr. Roman Ahsan?

Yes, I worked in his company for six months.

I was...

in a relationship with him.

I object, Your Honour.

My learned counsel

is wasting the court's precious time on irrelevant people.

Overruled.

Thank you, Your Honour.

Yes, tell us.

He gave me special attention since I joined office.

Don't call me sir.

Just call me Roman.

I loved his caring attitude.

We started getting closer.

But soon, I realised he is extremely possessive.

Come to my room. Right now!

He acted crazy if I spoke to my male colleagues.

Why do you have to talk to everyone in office?

Why do you have to laugh around with everyone?

What's so funny?

Look in front, son of a b***h!

How long have you been working for Roman?

Five years.

Did you hear Supti's statement, Akbar?

Don't be afraid.

Tell me.
