it's okay. i know that you areupset that i am upset. but... what dr. asthana said was right. i did freeze. i don't know what had happened to me. it's okay. it happens. it was our first surgery. and...in this situation manyexperienced doctors also tremble. that's why we are interns.
so that we can face such kindof situations and pressures. as it is, it's not easy to jaban injection into someone's lungs. especially if he isa famous celebrity. it means, i am a goodhuman being and a bad doctor. only a good humanbeing can be a good doctor. by the way, a goodhuman being, a good doctor. now be a good lover too.

..we wouldn't have got fundsfor the new pediatric ward. now i would like dr.asthana to say a few words. what do i say?he has made me tendulkar. but he is also asimportant for our hospital.. ..as bcci is for ourindian cricket team. we can neither live withhim nor live without him. yes? hello.- hi, doctor. doctor, this is my son ankur.
since last night hehas a severe stomachache. i don't know what it is. come, son. come here. come. sit. any vomiting? no. he didn't vomit.he said he feels like vomiting. but he didn't vomit.- okay. i gave him a painkiller.
but it didn't make any difference.- okay. mrs..- nandita. you can call me nandita. nandita, i can't be sure just now. but this could be appendicitis. i think it might be betterif you admit him for tonight. but doctor, how comesuddenly appendicitis? i mean.. - no. no. no.this is not a serious situation. it's a very common problem. actually, appendix isthat part of our body..
..without which wecan easily function. for instance, tonsils. we call it vestigial organs. like a tail?- yeah. like a tail. the only problem is thatfor 100% confirmation.. ..we will have to gethis sonography done. and that's possibleonly tomorrow morning. so i think its better that youlet him stay here for tonight. because if he is in pain at home..
..it will just get difficult. fine. i will get him admitted.- okay. very good. don't be scared. excuse me.- yes, sir. ankur arora is in which room? on the second floor, room number 201.- thank you. welcome. what are you doing here? - the questionis what are you doing here?
what the hell is happening? and suddenly, what happened to ankur? the doctor thinks it is appendicitis. he said to admit him. or elsethere might be some complication. so i got him admitted. good. but you didn'tcall me up. that's not good. i would have come with you.- actually, it was very late. i didn't want to disturb you. now you are being really formal.
you are not just my employee,but also my friend. you should have called me up. you know, i am always there for you. sandwich. i am not hungry.- eat. look, eat. otherwise acidity andall that nonsense will happen. along with the kid, we willhave to admit the mother too. do you know? since morning he wastelling me he has a stomachache. i thought he was making an excuse..
..so that he doesn'thave to go to school. i am so stupid. so stupid. ankur. i am so sorry. i am so sorry. you kept telling me the whole day. i couldn't understand. you must have been ina lot of pain, right? you were in pain, weren't you?
mama is so stupid. mama, don't worry. i am okay. it's not paining now. i am fine, mom. i am so sorry. who is the next patient?- ankur arora, sir. good morning, doctor.my name is nandita arora. and.. who admitted him?- me, sir. the patient was in painand complaining of nausea. i had a doubt it is appendicitis.
so i thought it's better to admit him. did you do sonography?- no, sir. so how do you know its appendicitis? it could be ureteric stones. sir, he was complainingof stomachache. so i.. it could be intussusception. sir, there was nocomplaint of blood in the stool. and the pain was also not severe. viral gastroenteritis.
sir, there was no fever.and no diarrhea also. your diagnosis is right. your decision ofadmitting him is also right. get ct scan done.we will know the level of infection. yes, sir.- are you his mother? you shouldn't ignore appendicitis.it's not good. we might have to operate himonce we get the scan reports. the ot is not available today. so the operation willtake place tomorrow.
as such, the pain is less.so, no problem. whatever you thinkis fine. and if you.. sir, actually, ot is available today. ot is not available today. no, sir. there was agallbladder surgery. it has been canceled. so..- ot is not available today. the operation willtake place tomorrow. don't you do that to me ever again. don't try to cut me off in frontof my patient. - sir, i was just..
when i am saying ot is not available.. ..it means ot is not available. sir, i was informed that thesurgery has been cancelled. so i thought of informing you.- dr. romesh. i know the surgery has been cancelled. i know ot is available. but the kid will stayhere tonight. you know why? because i am saying it. simple.
if you want to be asuccessful doctor, remember that.. ..along with being a profession,it's a business too. you need money for treatment. these modern machines,medicines, staff.. ..hasn't come free. it has been bought with money. to run the hospital you needmoney and not just goodness. without money, therewill be no hospitals. without hospital, no treatment.
if you sympathizewith them, tell them.. ..to stop going to expensivebeauty parlors for a month. they will save money. if she can't even dothis for her son.. ..then she shouldn'texpect anything from us. one patient's money comesto another patient's aid. so they bloody wellpay for each other. do you understand?- yes, sir. do you understand, dr. romesh?
i am asking you, dr. romesh.do you understand? sir, we understand. we all understand. what you are saying makes sense. try to understand.learn something from her. take it easy. hey, champ. you okay in there? yeah. okay. i am not scared. good.
shall i ask you a question? sure. - can people dieduring asendipitis operation? its not asendipitis.it's appendicitis. and, no. no one diesin this operation. they just survive. and we won't let you die. are you sure?- very sure. is it just appendix?or any other complication? only appendicitis.
but if you and dr. asthana want.. ..we can conduct many more tests. so that this hospital can do business. romesh, i was just..- you understand everything. i am getting bored. for how long will i have to lie down? just 10 minutes more, champ. shall i tell you something? but don't tell mom.
sure. i am an expertin keeping secrets. you see, i don't feelgood that i am sick. because mom is sad because of me. she was already sad. and...and she is sadder now. don't worry. you will be fine. she thinks i don't know anything. i am a kid. but i am not a kid.
i know papa has left us forever. i even know that momdoesn't cry in front of me. she cries alone in her bedroom. make me alright. i will earn alot of money once i grow up. only for mom. i will buy many presents for her. i will always keep her happy. i won't leave her like papa. romesh, it's not fair.
you are venting outasthana's anger on me. i was just easing the tensionbetween dr. asthana and you. that's all. it was reallygetting out of control. do you know, riya? when i was small,my mother used to tell me.. ..when a person's courage wanes.. ..he becomes more cunning. and when i was small,my mother had also told me. instead of unnecessary bravery,it's better to keep quiet.
fight only when you can fight. not when you don'thave the power to fight. tomorrow, dr. asthanawon't let me come in the ot.. ..for ankur's operation. take care of the kid. please. i will. and now, will youbreak your oath of silence? i love you.
that's the problem. i love you too. mama...i am hungry. you can't eat now, ankur. your operation is after an hour, son. come on. be a brave boy. eat later. you are mama's brave boy. okay?

what i was saying is.. romesh. hello.- hello, son. sit. do you know? papawas repeatedly asking.. ..about you and not about me. i have ordered soup for you. no. i was just telling riyathat this is the last year.. ..of your internship. and very soon you guyswill have to decide..
..what you have to do in this field. that's it. i was concerned about that. i have told papai want to do cardiology. but papa is sayingi should do neurology. riya, mark my words. neurology is the future of medicine. and robotic technology hasalso become very advanced. your soup, sir.- because of that income is also good. romesh, have soup.

do you think i will goagainst shekhawat, dr. asthana.. ..and the entire medical fraternity? that too for the child who is dead. yes. that's what i think. so also understand thatif we do this, we will be ruined. our dreams, our future,our career. everything. so let us be ruined. romesh, please try to understand. papa has paid 80lakhs as capitation fees.
so that i can be a successful doctor. i can't just throw it away because.. ..your conscience is pricking you. try to understand. such accidentsare common in this profession. so fine. today decide whether youare with me or against me. decide? against who? against myself?is that what you want? romesh, i was also in the ot. i am a witness to that incident.
i am a part of that incidentbecause i have hidden the truth. if this matter is disclosed,there could be.. ..legal action against me. i might have to go to courtand i might be sent to prison. please try to understand. you can't see that unknowingly.. ..you are going against me. you are fighting me.- maybe. and maybe everyone'swellbeing lies in this.
i am not responsiblefor that accident. i won't let my life be ruined. i have never seen truth ruining lives. so tell me, riya. with me...or against me. romesh.- with me or against me? romesh, please.- riya, with me or against me? romesh, you aremaking a grave mistake. riya, answer me.with me or against me?

'what's happening?'- 'he aspirated, doctor.' 'why didn't anyone tell me..'
'..he ate something beforethe operation?' - 'ventilator.' 'no, doctor.' 'there's lot of vomit,let me clean this first.' 'nurse, quick.- sir.' 'oxygen saturation's down.- i cannot see anything.' 'there's food all over.' 'you are not doing thisfor the first time, doctor.' 'you've done this a thousand times.streetscape.' 'ventilator.- saturation's .5 sir.'
'the trachea's normal, sir.- are you sure?' 'yes, sir.' 'reading, dr. riya.- it's going up, sir.' 'please check, please.- what?' 'just check him.' 'ankur. ankur. open your eyes.' 'ankur. open your eyes.' 'ankur.' 'ankur, can you hear me?'
the brain went dead. coma. oh, god. baby. my baby. my baby. my baby. i should've been here. oh, god. nandita, she's kajori sen. our advocate.
mrs. nandita arora, we can definitelyfile a case against them. it may be tough. but, we can demand a bigamount as compensation. what price will theypay for ankur's life? 10 crores? 20 crores? 100? that won't bring my son back. so, what do you want? maybe, after this case.. ..this won't happen with anyone else.
shekhawat. the owner. he's an influential man. so, obviously,he'll have powerful connections. so, i hope you understand.- i do, i do. but, one doesn't stopfighting with the fear of losing. and dr. romesh. i hope.. ..the doctors of your medicalfraternity will be against you. they will never forgive you. i will file this case.we will defend it.
but, you can stand down if you like. save your career. i can save my career.. ..but what about my conscience? good morning, dear.- good morning, papa. sir, tea?- yes. prepare the breakfast quickly. i've to leave for office.- yes. what are you eating, dear?- cornflakes. very good.
hello. just a minute. sir, there's an urgent call for you.- fine. go. hello.- sir, i'm speaking from zee news. mrs. arora, has filed a case ofmedical negligence against you. would you like to comment on it? ..there is an intern's hand in this..? excuse me. dr. riya srivastav. sit down.
tea? coffee? i'm sorry. i am rajiv mallani. mr. mallani will bedefending our case. in the ankur arora case.. ..there were four other doctorspresent along with dr. asthana. you were one of them. after that incident inthe operation theatre.. ..did you talk to anyone outside? dr. riya, anything thatyou know and we don't?
if there's anything, then say it now. otherwise,dr. asthana's reputation, mine.. ..in fact, thishospital will be a big joke. and, we'll have to pay a big price. so, in case there's anything? priya. everyone knows aboutyour relation with romesh. you two stay togetherin the living quarters. people objected, but i said its love. let it blossom.
speak up, dr. riya. was it dr. romesh? what did you tell dr. romesh? say it. speak up! i'm taking my stuff. and...keep this. i don't need it now. i told them.
i couldn't lie. they wanted to know howothers learnt about that incident. i said it was you. you went to the lawyer. so, why are you feeling bad about it? i'm doing what i should. you do what you should.- romesh. i am helpless, not bad. no, you're not,i'm more helpless than you.
but, i've already made a decision. that i will support the truth,not run from it. truth? what truth? a truth that's ruining our future. truth doesn't ruin anyone, riya. but evading the truth can ruin you. come in. my resignation. you're a fine example ofbravery and foolishness, dr. romesh.
maybe. it's better than beingarrogant and careless. dr. asthana. it's easier to pointfingers at others, dr. romesh. don't forget what happened inthe operation theatre that day. your hands froze whileadministering an injection. careless? if it wasn't for me.. ..then lakshmi would've died.- i remember, sir.
you saved his life. and, i also remember.. ..you didn't allow me in theoperation theatre after that. that's right. that should happen with you. you're right. i made a mistake and i was kicked out. now, it's your turn. so, you want me tosacrifice my position..
..the hospital's reputation for you. you don't need to do anything. now, i'll dowhatever needs to be done. you won't be able to do anything. i will finish you. my career hasn't started,so what will you finish. i've nothing to lose. and, you have everything. my lord, this yearon the 9th of june..
..a terrible incident occurred. an eight year old boyundergoing appendix operation died. because the hospitalhis mother chose.. ..trusted, wasn't fit toundertake a simple operation. and if they were capable,they were careless. whatever the reason. but, the innocent boyhad to pay with his life. your honour, that daybefore the operation.. ..dr. asthana wasinformed that ankur..
..ate some biscuits an hour ago. in such cases, doctors use aspecial tube called ryle's tube. to siphon the food out of the stomach. but, your honour. this tube wasn'tused during the operation. why? because they forgot. the biscuits in ankur'sstomach became poisonous. and spread to his lungs. he went into coma. cerebral hypoxic.
and two days later, he died. your honour, theprosecution will now prove.. ..that the hospital wasn'tjust careless, but also criminal. we'll prove that thedoctor's actions.. ..was nothing lessthan 1st degree murder. we'll also prove that inorder to hide their crime.. ..they aren't just guilty,but also culprits. i didn't make any chart, your honour. nor am i going tocomment on this profession.
because i completely trust.. ..the doctors ofshekhawat general hospital. that, day during the operation.. ..ankur arora's lungs collapsed. in medical terms, it'scalled neumo-thorax. in this condition,the patient can't breathe. the vital organs don't get oxygen. the oxygen doesn't reach the brain. and, the patient slips into coma.
and, that is exactly what happened.. ..to ankur arora that day. abusing the doctors,defaming the hospitals.. ..blackmailing them is easy. because they careabout their reputation. they become easy targets. in fact, your honour, this isa case of extortion, blackmail. and, why should we bow beforesuch blatant blackmail, extortion? you took my advice ofdefending medical legal cases.
you've made a good name foryourself by winning four cases. romesh had to come to you. if you're smart,we can delay this a lot. shekhawat has very deep pockets. time to make my new office,and your new bungalow. so...what do i have to do now? just keep humiliatingthe hospital in the court. and go easy on dr. asthana. keep saving him as long as you can.
the case will stay pending. and the judge won't beable to pass a verdict. and i will make sure thatthe confusion continues. i have to go now. bye, my dear opposition lawyer. you're always leaving. always in a hurry.- i'm a busy man. we were supposed totalk about us today? what? that i am marriedand we don't have a future.
i know. but i forget. mr. bhargav. what do you do? i am a handwriting expert. so tell me, was yourexpertise put to use.. ..in cases like these before?- yes, many times. i don't remember how many times. oh, i see. your honour.this is the blow up of a ledger..
..where ankur's details were lodged. the details before his operation. it's written here"time before last meal, nine hours". meaning nine hours. mr. bhargav. please tell the court.. ..what do you find outafter reading this page? for a common man,this is just a number. number nine. but for me,it's number one. which has been turned to nine.
here, by turning it like this. and, it's been done bytwo people, not one person. with two different pens,at two different times. whenever we writesomething on the paper.. ..fine impressionsappear on the paper. and we can see themonly through a computer. normally, when a man writes.. ..impressions appear on the paper. but, when he changes something..
..he does it with a light hand. carefully. so, there are lessimpressions on that side. even on this paper,there are impressions everywhere. except, for this nine,where it's less.. ..which was changed. what can i tell the court now? it's all clear. two different people can'twrite on the same paper..
..at the same place,and the same time. so, it's obvious. someone's changed that to nine. your honour.we don't know who stole this ledger. we don't know whetherdr. asthana is behind it or not. but, someone has definitely done it. and, the funny thing is. according to this ledger,if ankur ate something.. ..nine hours before the operation..
..then, it was 1 o'clock at night. and, i don't have to bea genius to understand.. ..that no patient eatsat 1 o'clock at night. you're talking on the phone again. that means you won't come today. not just at night, but we'll meetless during the day as well. as long as this case is going on. if anyone sees us together,we'll be in trouble. but, i wanted to tell you something.
it's urgent.- what? not over the phone, we've to meet. now. please. what happened? i am pregnant. i thought something'swrong with the case. don't worry, the case is fine. is this why you wanted to meet? we could've talkedabout this on the phone.
yes, we could. it's a small procedure. abort it. there's a special on meon the 10 o'clock news. they will praise me. i'm going to watch that. call me when it's done. kajori's trying to prove.. ..that it's thehospital's carelessness.
not dr. asthana. she's trying to confuse the issue. "anyone can steal the ledger,anyone can write on it." "this...that." smart move. the court can't punish just anyone. as our lawyer, it's her dutyto prove dr. asthana guilty. but, she isn't doing that. that's why i followed her.
i saw her with mallani. shocking. she's trying to confuse us. and, we're caught. can't she understand a child is dead? she's takingadvantage of that, for money? i want to meet her. i want to meet her right now. come on. kajori, open the door. we know you're inside.we want to talk to you.
kajori, open the damn door!we know you're inside! break down the door. break down the door.just break the damn door. just break it!- yes. ajay, call an ambulance. quickly. the doctors are saying she's fine. she swallowed... she had an allergic reaction. she barely managed to survive.
what?- abortion pills. she was pregnant. how are you feeling? i am... i am sorry. forgive me. i promise.. he.. he was wronged can you forgive me?
now you will know what itmeans to lose your child. you can fight thisbetter than anyone else. three days laterdr. romesh sharma came home.. ..and told me how my son ankur died. your witness, please. do you recognize this form? it's the same form you signedbefore your son's operation. are these your signatures? do you sign anypaper without reading it?
without knowing what's written in it? what?- no, i don't. then, please read out point twoin these operation guidelines. patient should be nbm,6-8 hours before operation. nbm. meaning, nothingby mouth, your honour. it's clearly written on this form.. ..patient cannot eat anything6-8 hours before the operation. he has to stay on a empty stomach. and, the patient's mother'ssignatures are on this form.
a mother that's blamingthe doctors for carelessness. but, she's forgetting.. ..she made thebiggest careless mistake. she let her son eat biscuitsone hour before the operation. ask her, your honour. what was she doing whenher son was eating biscuits? staring at him? watching television? or fixing an appointmentwith the beauty salon?
your witness. mrs. arora, what ismyocardial infraction? do you know that?- no. it's a heart attack. acute coryza. you must be familiarwith these terms. - no. no? common cold. cephalalgia. you must have heard this.- i don't know all that. headache.
don't youknow...according to my friend here.. ..you should've knownall medical information.. ..before admittingyour son in that hospital. objection, your honour. the prosecution istrying to lead the witness. do you know what ed stands for? i thought you know. erectile dysfunction. sorry.- your honour, please answer me.
did you know the meaning of nbm? objection overruled. your honour, whetherthe common people.. ..know about these medicalterms or not, doesn't matter. what matters is that thetreating doctors should know. and especially a fantasticsurgeon like dr. asthana. what the hell are you doing? what do you mean?- i mean you've to stretch this case. you don't need to win it.- i see.
is that what i had to do?- sorry, i forgot. what?- yes, i forgot. because, i am in a hurry. i've to watchtelevision at 10 tonight. hear my praises on the news. only mine. no one else. your anger is for therascal you had to abort. no. it's for therascal i had to sleep with.
you're a compromising woman. and nothing else. i made you a lawyer. you will stand against me. i am still a compromising woman. the only difference is,this time i'm standing for the truth. not the body. i will blow you away in the court. go ahead.
but remember, rajiv mallani. this time, you're facingtwo mothers, not two women. we'll eradicate you from existence. just like women like us say. we won't touch, and disrobe you. "the light was missing." "the daylight was low." "there was fog." "and, my eyes were wet."
"the clouds have cleared." "the sky's clear now." "i can see a clear ray of light now." "the ambience...is filled with rays if light." "now...the ambience...is filled with rays if light." "my crime.." hello, who is it? "now... the ambience...is filled with rays if light." are you sure we'll find her here?
mallani had told me. they've hidden her here in goa. she's here. 100%. there she is. one with the priest. you will be alright.christ is with you my child. yes, father.- go. hi. my name's kajori sen.
i am a lawyer. you must know,we've filed a case against.. ..dr. asthana and the hospitalin the ankur arora case. rubina. listen to me please. i don't know anything. and, please leave me alone. rubina. listen to me. there was a boy, ankur.
you saw him with your own eyes. you looked after him. he told you that he ate something. and, you went to dr. asthana, worried. do you remember thatboy's face, rubina? tell me, do youremember that boy's face? he's no more, rosina. he's dead. his mother performed his last rites.
he's turned to dust. your honour. prosecutionwould now like to call.. ..nurse rosina to the witness box. who? i am sorry, your honour. rosina's name isn'ton the witness list. she cannot take the stand. moreover, the defense needs timeto prepare his cross-examination. my lord, she's a reluctant witness.. ..and very important to the case.
the witness can take the stand. the defense will be grantedtime to prepare their case. but, the witness will have tobe called again for the defense. do you agree, ms. sen?- i agree, my lord. tell the court yourname and your designation. my name is rosina d'costa. i am a ward nurse inshekhawat general hospital. but, you just returnedfrom goa. is that right? yes. i had taken aleave for a few days.
rosina. is it truethat you took leave.. ..on the day ankur slipped into coma? and, is it true that dr. asthana.. ..paid you a huge sum, that day?- yes. that's true. but, there's another truth. dr. asthana was sending you away.. ..because you werethe first one to inform him.. ..that ankur ate somebiscuits before the operation.
isn't that right? its okay, rosina.no need to be scared. you can tell the truth here. did you tell dr. asthana about this? rosina. look at me. don't be scared. tell the truth. say it.- no. nothing like that happened. what? what are you saying, rosina?
i didn't know whether thechild ate something or not. and, i don't know what you're saying. i don't know. rosina, why are you lying? rosina. silence! silence in the court! your honour,the witness has turned hostile.. ..and she be excused.
the court will reconvene atmonday morning, at 9 o'clock. rosina, why..- come on, sit down. i didn't lay a finger.and you're defamed. what now? nothing. we don't haveevidence against asthana. as of now, we've lost this case. 'do people die in anappendix operation?' 'no, no one dies because of it.and we won't let you die.'
'are you sure?- very sure.' yes, stop here. stop. stop. here's your fare. romesh.- come with me. where? what happened?- just a second. what's wrong?- i don't know myself. this here. you see this. this is vomit.
this thread was around ankur's neck.. ..during the operation. his vomit is on the thread. it's dried up, but it's adequate.- for what? dna finger printing. this vomit containsankur's dna. his vomited acids. and traces of what he ate. but how will we prove that.. ..the vomit particles onthis thread is ankur's,
the dna of any childis made of two sets. half the set belongs to the father.. ..and the other half to the mother. if we compare ankur's dna with yours.. ..it will be a 50% exact match. and that will prove.. ..that the vomit particles onthis thread belongs to ankur. and if they prove in court that.. ..ankur vomited before the operation.
and those particlesstuck to this thread, then? if he had vomitedbefore the operation.. ..then his medical reportswould have anti-emetics.. ..which is amedicine to stop vomiting. which is not there. he never vomited before the operation. and after theoperation he was in coma. he could've only havevomited during the operation. romesh. you're a bloody genius.
your honour. with your permission.. ..the prosecution requestsfor four days of recess. only four days. and why do you want this time? i want to preparesome more for this case. the court grantsprosecution four days time. but, this time's being grantedfor the benefit of this case. not to push the hearing further.- i assure you, my lord. that won't happen.
the court is adjourned for four days. this is not a good sign. she is up to something. kajori didn't demandtime for no reason. she's definitely found something. what do you mean? what did they find?- i don't have a clue. but, i don't want to look likea fool in the court. - then? how will we find out?
rajiv, you don't want tobe embarrassed in the court. i don't want to beembarrassed in front of everyone. me and my company'sbecome the butt of jokes.. ..due to this case. i don't want any more damage. find out what it is.- i understand, sir. this game's going toget a little dirty. i suggest you two stay away from it. i've kajori's number.
nandita's number must bein the hospital records. and romesh.. does romesh still hasthe same number, riya? has it changed?- no, sir. it hasn't. go to the ward.- okay, sir. yes, mallani.- i've romesh's cell phone records. what's this technomate lab? he's been calling this placemany times in the last two days. technomate.
it's a lab where dnafingerprinting is done. and there are fewsuch labs in our city. any idea why he wascalling this place. what's the point of dnafingerprinting in this.. unless, he's found the vomit samples. maybe? - and what if thismaybe turns to definitely? then, mallani, we're.. this is a perfect match. right. check it.
and, let's all leave. it's time to close the lab.- yeah, sure. just give me a second.- yeah. - thank you. a car's beenfollowing us, from the lab. hurry up, hurry up.- step on it. who's it? oh, my god.- careful, careful. careful.. oh god, it's a blind lane.
oh, no! get out! get out. quick. fast. run. just run. that way. there. i don't know what happened?- no idea. everything was fine when i switched offhe computer last night. this morning, there wasno data, no dna samples. so, you don't haveanother copy of that report.
and we can't get thattest done again? - no, man. i am really sorry. all the sampleshave been contaminated. but you must have some security. some cctv or something. you know, that's the thing. all the footages from thecctv camera has been erased. i've know clue who was here. all i know is, as of nowwe've lost everything. but this is criminal.
we can report this to the police. we can't prove a thing,how will we prove this? she's right. but it's a crime totamper with evidence. and they also attacked us last night. yes. the law's there. but we've no proof.. ..to show that we had evidence. meaning?
is it all over? there's one thing that can be done. and only romesh can do it. speaking to you can get me in trouble. the hospital staff's here too.- i know. just two minutes. what is it?- you must know. we had evidence to putyou all away for very long. but we don't havethat evidence anymore.
they've been snatched. romesh, i don't want to fight.- i am not here to fight, riya. in fact, i'm here to make a request. it's your turn totestify in the court tomorrow. tell the truth, riya. you were in theoperation theatre that day. you saw everything, heard everything. you're the only witness to this crime. my last hope.
please, riya, i beg of you. swear on the gita.you'll only speak the truth.. ..and nothing but the truth. yes. i will speak the truth. dr. riya, you don't need to be scared. we're with you. on the 9th of june this year,were you present in the ot.. ..when ankur was being operated on. yes. i was there.
what happened tothe child after the operation? dr. riya, what happened to the child? tell us. after the operation.. speak up. after the operation,ankur's lungs collapsed. your honour,the defense would like to move.. ..for a motion of dismissal. this case is ruining the imageof shekhawat general hospital.
and is keeping a busyand important surgeon.. ..like dr. asthana away from his work. this is nothing but awaste of public money. since the prosecutionhas no more witnesses.. ..and they couldn't provethat master ankur arora.. ..died due to thenegligence of doctors. so, i agree with thedefense and dismiss this case. the case of arora versusshekhawat general hospital.. ..stands dismissed.
thank you. riya. what is this? you're leaving yourinternship incomplete. yes, sir.- what nonsense? you did so much for us. we can do much for you in return. we can make you the topsurgeon of this hospital. the favor that you did to us..- favor? what favor, sir?
i lied. i betrayed my profession. i cannot stay here. this burden..- what burden? what crime did you commit? what did you do wrong? we sir, not me? we just made one mistake, riya. just one. and it led to this chaos.
and, so what if we made a mistake? do only humans make mistakes? doesn't god make mistakes? still, we bow before him. i.. i am just fed up of this nonsense. but, you're not god.- i am god! i pulled thousands ofsouls back from death.. ..the ones your godwas allowing to die.
i've the same power as he does. if i should bepunished for my mistake.. ..then why do we spare him? i just forgot to use a tube. i forgot to get somebiscuits out of his stomach. so, i am the culprit? and him? he kills so manychildren before they're born. or, makes them a cripple.
he's not accounted for that. why do you spare him? he's god! when your god gives pain to people.. ..infects them with sicknesses,they come to me.. ..and i cure their pain. so, if he's god theni am a bloody doctor! i am as powerful asyour so-called god. if he's no criminal even aftermaking thousands of mistakes..
..then for making onemistake neither am i. so, yes, i am god! get that clear! i am god! fine, sir. if you consideryourself god, you can do that. but right now, i'm finding itdifficult to be a human being. thank you and goodbye. hello, doctor. aren't you the samedoctor that's on tv..
i am god! doctor?- not now, later. just two minutes.- please go. i am as powerful asyour so called god. hello.- dr. asthana speaking. give the phone to your sir.- yes, sir. sir. dr. asthana. sir's in the bathroom.- no need to say anything. tell him i've understood everything.
coward! get out of the way. dr. asthana, we've awarrant against you. dr. riya will please stand. dr. riya has broken heroath taken in the court. lied to the court. that was just a wayto expose the truth. the court respects her intentions. since she swore in the court of law..
..the court fines her rs.20,000. shekhawat hospital isguilty of negligence.. ..beyond reasonable doubt. and the court, on this day.. ..12th december, 2012.. ..orders shekhawat hospital.. ..to pay a compensation of rs.10crores to ankur arora's mother.. ..within the next 15 days. and, the court finds dr.asthana guilty..
..for ankur arora's death. and sentences him tothree years of imprisonment.. ..under section 304. the court is dismissed. "everything seems still." "the moment hasstopped where you did." "you're lost in yourself." "you don't have any memory of me." "life, better mend your ways."
