'Hello.' - Hello, Mrinali.

Yes.

Hi. I am Trilok Bansal.

I have very interesting information for you.

What kind of information?

I can tell you that when I meet you.

All I can say is

that this sensational news

needs a journalist like you.

It will be like an extra star

in your shining career.

'What do you mean?' - What you seek is seeking you.

And what am I seeking?

Something that every journalist seeks for.

The next big story.

You can consider

that this story needs you as much

as you need this story.

Look, Mr Bansal. Right?

I don't have time for these mind games.

So, sorry. I am not interested.

I know. Definitely.

You have less time. That's why it is said

life is short.

So, do one thing.

No. You write down my address. I'll tell you.

Well, at least you are ready to meet me.

Very good.

In this city,

my house is the safest place to talk.

So, you have to come here.

I can't take this risk.

I don't even know you.

How can I come to your house without any information?

I can't take this risk.

Mrinali, the point is

that my wife is not well.

She... I can't leave her

alone at home in this condition.

You can see how the weather is.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have troubled you. Trust me, please.

I am really sorry to hear about that, Mr Bansal.

But that's not how I work.

I know!

I know how you work.

Really! Your editor,

Mr Padmanabhan... Paddy. He is my very good friend.

Do one thing. You can verify with him.

Do one thing. Check on the internet.

Trilok K Bansal.

Well...

Okay. Send me the address.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

I'll text you the address.

Okay?

Who was it?

What? - On the phone?

I... - Who were you talking to secretly in the bathroom?

Secretly?

A junior reporter called up. There was a problem at field.

He asked for advice.

It seemed he was advising you.

I am not so bad that I will take advice from junior reporters.

What's today's plan?

I have a few submissions.

See you tomorrow.

Yes. Hello.

Yes. I forgot to tell you something.

Take Harris Street. It will be empty.

The other roads are dug up. So, there will be a lot of traffic.

Yes.

Alright. Mr Bansal? - Yes. Please come in.

Sorry. It took me time to get here. Harris Street was jammed.

I know. It's dug up...

Yes. - Yes.

This... - Hang it there.

Okay. Thank you.

Please come in. Welcome.

Have a seat here. - Sure.

Keep it there.

I'll go and inform my wife

that you're here. What will you have?

Information. That's it.

My wife will be delighted to meet you.

She is a big fan of you. - Thank you.

She follows all your articles. She insisted

that I must tell her when you arrive.

She will like to meet you. Give me two minutes.

Okay.

She is asleep.

She fell asleep. - Oh!

She is ill. So, she gets tired easily.

Or perhaps, it is the effect of these new medicines.

She has to take four tablets as per the prescription.

But I think she takes more.

I have to be careful.

You drink single malt, right?

Good research.

It could be intuition as well.

On the rocks, right? - Sure.

Last month,

I watched your interview on TV.

Really? - It was very impressive.

I mean you have an amazing journey!

You started with a local newspaper.

You struggled so much and faced many challenges.

Amazing! - Thank you.

Then, twelve years ago,

one newspaper article changed your destiny.

Right?

Thank you.

I got that article after a lot of struggle.

It definitely made a lot of difference.

It was an article I was doing on...

There was... - Murder investigation.

That's right.

Brilliant journalism! Brilliant!

I mean you had done a detailed research.

Who does that? These days, it's mundane reporting!

There was an inspector working on that case.

He helped a lot. It wasn't possible without him.

That's your greatness. You are giving him credit.

Well, did he give you credit for solving that case?

Forget about it. Credit is not important.

The important part is that it led you to your success.

It depends how you evaluate success.

What are you saying?

I mean... Who doesn't know you?

You are a celebrity journalist.

You are on every panel discussion on every news channel.

Oh! That's my achievement.

It's success.

It's about luck.

No. Luck and hard work.

Sure.

So, Mr Bansal.

If you do not mind,

can we come to the point? What information do you have?

I'll go and check. She woke up.

She has woken up. - Okay...

She will comb her hair and come out. - Okay.

She is too excited to meet you.

Refill. Here...

Sit.

Did you sell your flat? You were looking for a buyer.

How do you know that?

Don't worry. You and I have

the same broker. Rawat!

Are you selling this house?

No. It is under joint names.

My wife won't let me sell it.

I am looking for an office.

I read on the internet that you are a businessman.

But what's your business?

Why are you talking about these things?

You must ask me what you are here for.

Yes, please. Absolutely. So...

What's the news for which you had to meet me?

Murder... - What?

Murder!

Two people are about to get framed for a murder.

Who?

A government employee and his lover.

Who got murdered? And when?

It's about to happen. - What?

The news is confirmed.

I think I should leave.

I thought you are interested in murders.

Yes. I am interested. But you aren't giving me proper information.

Wait for some time.

Mr Bansal.

You are a brave journalist.

Are you scared of me?

Okay.

Yes.

Murder. Killer.

These words are beautiful.

But we, humans, disregard them for no reason.

Do you say such romantic things to your wife?

Perhaps, my wife is not inside.

What?

Suppose,

in this room...

My wife is not there. No one is there.

This room is empty.

And...

This is a conspiracy

to make you

come here at any cost.

But why will you do that?

I might want

to murder you.

Why do you want to murder me?

We are not enemies. We just met.

That makes no difference. - But there should be a motive.

Motive.

But for that, I need to know you.

Perhaps, someone sent you to kill me.

Like a contract killer. It's possible.

I'm a journalist. I expose many people.
