Ikka

This is the final call for all participants in the next round.

Swimmers, please go to your starting block.

Go, Samaira!

Many of you are aspiring lawyers.

But a court is not a classroom.

There, justice is obtained only by winning it.

And no one knows better than Ikka how justice is won.

Just when everyone thinks a case is over,

he plays his ace of spades and turns the case around.

Please welcome the unbeatable lawyer in the city, Mr Arjun Mehra.

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome…

Close your eyes,

and listen carefully to this case.

Late at night in Pune…

on a deserted road,

a luxury car driving at a speed of 220 kilometres per hour

strays onto the footpath.

The homeless people sleeping on the footpath get crushed.

Three of them

are killed,

and the others

are injured.

The driver of this luxury car is no ordinary person,

but the spoilt child of a rich father.

You can guess what the result of this case will be.

Now open your eyes and consider this.

What if it was a truck instead of a car?

Are the driver of the car and the driver of the truck

equal in the eyes of the law?

And in the eyes of the court?

Samaira!

The poor man is mistreated for years,

and for him, the law turns into punishment.

Justice is blind.

But it always lifts its blindfold once, just to see,

if the defendant is rich or poor.

For the sake of justice, even the law has to be shown a mirror.

And no law school can teach this.

The sense of justice is a feeling in your gut.

It tells you which case to fight.

In court, we don't fight cases to win…

but to secure our right.

Samaira!

No.

Samaira.

Sir, you are a well-known, undefeated defence lawyer.

If you truly wished to serve justice,

then why didn't you become a public prosecutor?

Becoming a public prosecutor is not necessary to serve justice.

You can be a defence lawyer and still be fighting for justice.

And I'm known to fight the good fight.

Sir.

It's urgent.

For today, I will leave you with this thought.

Don't look at justice through the lens of the law.

The law is a means to achieve justice,

not justice in itself.

Thank you.

What happened, Avantika?

Avantika?

Dear.

How are you?

It's just a little nosebleed.

-Nosebleed! -I'm fine.

It happens underwater sometimes.

Water up the nose.

It just looks worse than it is.

Old granny.

Guys, I'm not dying.

-Hey! -Hey!

Samaira can be discharged now.

-See! -Great!

-All good. -Bye.

-Thank you. -Dr Galvankar is waiting for you.

-Okay. -Dear, I'll be right back.

Sam, be here. I'll be right back. Okay?

Doctor, what happened to my daughter?

Is such a nosebleed common?

It's not uncommon either.

These things happen.

But I want to run some tests, just to be sure.

Sure about what?

Please, let's not worry, Mr Mehra.

Let us run some tests.

Is Samaira your only child?

Yes.

-What… -Why are you asking this?

It's standard protocol for medical records.

We will need blood work for both of you.

Sister? Get their blood work done and upload it.

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

Sorry, Avantika.

I should have been there.

You wouldn't be able to stand the sight of blood.

I'm still shocked.

We're lucky it's not serious.

This is not luck. It's bad luck.

A nosebleed in the middle of the qualifiers?

Now they'll change my position in the line-up.

If I don't get a place in the team…

Oh, my God!

What place will they dump you in, then?

Dad. Don't do drama.

Dear, who's doing the drama? You or me?

Come on. Let's eat something.

I think butter chicken. What do you say?

I won't eat butter chicken.

Too many calories.

Oh, my God.

No one's going to give you any either.

You'll have soup today.

That's it?

How about some sushi?

Wow! Sushi?

So bland.

Oh, no.

-Hello? - Hi, sir.

Hope everything is okay.

It's all fine now.

Sir, Mr Amritpal wants to talk to you. It's urgent.

No.

Not possible. Not today.

Sir, actually it's really urgent.

Why can't you understand, it's…

It's my family time today. Okay?

Avantika.

I can never understand a doctor's handwriting.

But today, I couldn't understand what he was saying as well.

Arjun…

let's not overthink it.

Shouryamann Gaur, son of famous industrialist

and general election candidate Harshvardhan Gaur,

has been named an accused in a case of attempted murder.

This revelation has caused turmoil in both, political and business circles.

Yeah?

We're meeting Mr Gaur tomorrow at 11 a.m. at his house.

He's especially asked for you in connection with Shouryamann Gaur's case.

Be there tomorrow. Okay?

Okay.

How is she doing?

-She's asleep. - The question now is,

will this case be like other high-profile cases,

where the truth gets suppressed, or will justice be served this time?

Is Shouryamann Gaur really guilty?

Soma Mittal is currently in a medically induced coma.

No one has been arrested in this case so far.

Mr Gopal Krishnan, why are you personally prosecuting this case?

And why not?

Every lawyer dreams of an easy case.

Sir, you call such a politically sensitive matter an easy case?

It is you people who are making this matter politically sensitive.

For me, this is an open-and-shut case.

Shouryamann Gaur violently attacked Soma Mittal,

tried to sexually assault her, and then left her to die.

Sir, Shouryamann Gaur's father is contesting the elections.

What do you have to say about that?

Arjun, come on. Please sit down.

Now, every criminal's father does something or the other.

Arjun,

when you want to bring down a big tree…

then you strike at its roots.

A politician's roots

are his family.

Your firm has been our legal firm for years.

If you don't take this case,

then questions will arise as to why you didn't.

And you know the media.

Even before the case starts,

they will declare Shourya guilty.

Arjun, the elections are a month away.

I know, I know.

You have some issues with Shourya.

But if you can keep the past aside and forget what he did.

May I request

that you just meet Shourya once?

Where is Shourya?

Morning, morning. Sorry for the delay.

Shall we discuss the case?

Mr Harshvardhan,

please forgive me.

-I can't take up this case. -Arjun?

If you had to refuse, you could have just sent a WhatsApp message.

Why use WhatsApp?

I wanted to meet him personally,

and tell him that I can't fight this case.

Now if you can excuse me.

Mr Unbeatable Lawyer.

Taking up my case will not harm your track record.

If anybody's interested, I'm fucking innocent!

Arjun, there must be something.

What can I do to make you take this case?

Miracle.

That was not cool, Arjun.

Shouryamann Gaur was a lawyer working under you and you got him disbarred.

This history exists between you two,

but that has got no relevance with this case.

We are a law firm, for heaven's sake.

Look, Arjun…

Shourya is just like any other accused.
