MADHAV MISHRA
ji abhi aap bataye ke aapko pata kaise
chala ke judge sahib ki maut ho gayi
hai?

BHAWNA
kal subah ki baat hai jab mai kaam kar
rahi thi aur nikhil school jane ke
liye tayiyaar ho raha tha tab achaanak
se news pe mujhe yeh sunai diya ke
inki maut ho gayi hai aur mai jitna
jaldi ticket book kar payi maine kara
aur idhar aa gayi.

MADHAV MISHRA
aapko kuch alag laga tha jab aapne kal
raat doctor se baat kari kuch alag
laga tha ya aapko?

BHAWNA
nahi aaisa kuch khaas toh yaad nahi
kyunki kal raat itne saare logo ke
message aa rahe the aur news apps pe
toh pata nahi kya kya likha hua tha.

MADHAV MISHRA
bhabhi ji, aap zara sa dhyaan lagaye
aur soche aapko kuch bhi alag dikha
tha kya? jab unko post mortum ke liye
leke gaye the tab?

BHAWNA
(takes a deep breath and closes
her eyes and thinks. flashback to
the last night and focus on the
red bloodstain on the collar of
the shirt.)

arre haa. jab inki body ko postmortem

ke liye leke gaye the tab maine na

unke shirt pe kuch khoon jaisa laga

kamar than khoon ka daag tha.

MADHAV MISHRA

NIKHIL running towards his mother and the lawyer

BHAWNA
(sits down and reads the reports)

DOCTOR
ma'am this was a natural death it
happened because of the heart attack.
also apko Kuch idea hai kya ke Woh
Kaha ruke the aur yahan Kyun aaye the?

BHAWNA
woh apne dost ki beti ki shaadi mai
aaye the aur woh bolke gaye the ke
kuch dinon main mai aa jayenge aur
phir yeh sab ho gaya reprots mai aaya
hai ke heart acctak tha lekin yeh toh
itne fit the kya kahu. aur ummm kya
mai madhavji ko bula sakti hu kya? woh
humare family jaise hai.

DOCTOR
ji haa. zaroor. kyun nahi.

BHAWNA
(sending a message to madhav
mishra stating "madhavji aap
please doctor ke cabin mai aa jao
na?")

then we can see madhav mishra reading the message and

entering the room with a list of questions with him.

MADHAV MISHRA
bhabhi ji, aap thodi der ke liye bahar
jaa sakte ho kya? mujhe doctor sahab
se alag se baat karni hai aur nikhil
bhi bahar akale baitha hgai toh aap
uske paas jaa sakte ho kya?

BHAWNA
thik hai madhav ji.

we see BHAWNA leaving the cabin and going to the waiting area
where NIKHIL is sleeping on the chairs.

CUT TO:

the cabin where madhav mishra and the doctor is sitting

together and talking about the judge damodar case.

MADHAV MISHRA
toh doctor ji aap bataye ke judge
sahab hospital kaise aaise aur unke
saath kon kon tha ?

DOCTOR
jab judge sahab ko idhar leke aaye toh
unki health bohot critical thi aur
unko "retrosternal chest pain Hua and
then he collapsed" aur isse pehele
unko dande hospital leke gaye the aur
phir idhar leke aaye and then unke
saath unke reports bhi yaha hai dande
hospital wale you can refer to it as
well.

MADHAV MISHRA
(looking at the report followed by
an inner monologue)
google map mai dande hospital 6-minute
ka drive tha aur judge Sahab udhar se
4:45 ya 5:00 ke aas pass pohoche Aur
jiss gaadi se unko leke jaa rahe the
Woh kareeban 4:40-4:55 ke aas paas
nikli hogi guest house se aur judge
Sahab ke 40-55 minute baad damodar Ji
ne complain kara ke unko chaati mai
dard hai aur VIP ke liye guest house
ke staff ne unke liye Ek gaadi arrange
kyu nahi kar paye?

DOCTOR
aur mujhe lagta hai ke aapko dande
hospital ke doctor se bhi baat karni
chahiye kyunki unka ECG waha hua aur
treatment ki jagah unko medicines diye
the aur phir unko idhar shift karne ki
salha di.

we see an inaudible conversation in a form of time-lapse and

then we see that both of them shake hands and says bye to
each other

MADHAV MISHRA
thanks a lot doctor for sparing time
for us.

DOCTOR
(with a smile)
sure. if you need any sort of help
please let me know

INT. WAITING AREA - EVENING

MADHAV MISHRA
bhabhi ji aapko koi bhi madat chahiye
ho aap bata dena main idhar paas mai
hi ek guest house hai udhar rukunga
aur aapko agar koi bhi zaroorat lage
toh aap mujhe bata dena.

BHAWNA
(emotional)
thik hai madhav ji. aap na ek farishte
jaise ho jo aaye hai humri madat karne
ke liye.

MADHAV MISHRA
aare bhabhi ji abhi aap sharminda kar
rahe ho mujhe waise aap rehene kaha
wale ho?

BHAWNA
pata nahi mai kya karu yaha ruku ya
phir jaun kuch nahi pata ke mai kya
karu.

MADHAV MISHRA
mera manna hai ke aap yaha ruke kyunki
mujhe abhi toh pakka ho gaya hai ke
judge sahib ki death natural nahi
balki ek saajish thi kyunki jo bhi
information hume abhi mili hai uss
hiasaab se toh aais ahi lagta hai aur
woh ek hafte baad mumbai high court
mai apna judgement dene wala the aur
ek hafte pehele unki maut ho gayi.

a staff from the hospital asks mrs.pandey to get all the

valubles judge damodar had with him.

HOSPITAL STAFF
ma'am aap reception ke waha se mr.
Damodar ki saari reports aur unka
saara samman waha se collect kar sakte
hai.
