- Was it for the cycle test, dear? - No, Amma.
I was praying for Appa to come back home soon.
All right, get in.
(car engine starts)
(footsteps shuffling)
Did you hear?
- What? - Ananda Rangaswamy of ALH.
He has some health complications. Since he isn't active, his clients
don't want to continue with him.
- It's not looking good for the firm. - What do you mean?
Senior attorneys on high pay, junior attorneys who don't contribute much
are all going to get laid off.
We can't say anything right now.
They can fire anyone they want.
You know what?
If things get bad, those who are very active and recognised in their field
will become targets.
Vel Pandiyan is going to approach High Court to clear his name of everything.
I read it, ma'am.
I researched everything about him.
The bribes he accepted for each and every case, the properties in his name.
We even have the controversial footages from his channel
that haven't been released yet without his knowledge.
How do you manage to find time to get all this info when you are so busy?
- Commendable. - Thank you, ma'am.
Yeah, I didn't tell you, right?
Minor A vs Vel Pandiyan case.
I have decided to hand over that case to you, Tarunika.
Me?
Why, ma'am?
Tarunika, if you take this case, it will be much more interesting.
Vel Pandiyan insulted your husband.
It will seem like you are taking revenge for what he did.
Ma'am, to be honest, I will be fighting for Aadhya.
I know that.
The thing is we will get a lot of social media traction
if people think like that.
That means a chance of getting a lot of potential clients.
There is nothing wrong in using the buzz, right?
True.
I get it, ma'am.
B-But the intent should be clear.
I will only fight for Aadhya.
Tarunika, calm down. Aadhya will also benefit from this, rest assured.
Okay?
(opening music)
Those who have been watching this show regularly know this.
Still, I am saying this for those who are new here.
The main goal of this show is to view everything with humanity.
On that note, we have Tina, an escort, to talk to us, in today's programme.
Tell me, Tina.
The men who come to you, what kind of services do they expect from you?
- People have different preferences. - You mean different people at times.
So, has something interesting happened with you? Will you be able to tell us?
A guy asks me to torture him like his mother-in-law does.
What do you mean?
He asks me to touch him, poke him and call him names and all.
- Oh, my God! - That's not all.
There is someone from the legal department. Everyone knows
who exactly I'm talking about.
Who is it? A judge?
He is not a judge, but someone who faces the judge and argues a case.
An advocate then.
Hmm.
He has this fantasy where he wants me to keep calling him "Your Lordship."
(host) Oh. What are you trying to say right now, Tina?
Do you mean to say these people are acting this way because they are
not quite right in the head? They are affected by something.
(Tina) Sex is not that difficult.
They come to us because they want something more than sex.
- Hmm. - Without questioning them,
after understanding their feelings, by accepting their money,
we just do what they ask.
Beautiful...
Lights off.
(door clicks)
Kids might look like they are not paying attention.
But they will be listening very intently.
Please be careful about what you are watching in front of the kids.
- I am not going to watch TV at all. - (water gushing)
My blood boils when I think of them watching all this on TV.
But I don't have the power to stop them from watching all this.
It's not in my hands.
Sorry, Taruni.
It's fine, Athai.
You didn't know that the kids were listening to the show.
Not that. It breaks my heart when I think of Guna.
Those pieces of trash talked so badly about him.
I finally understand things.
You should be more careful in raising your sons more than daughters.
I failed as a mother when it comes to him.
(emotional music)
I have said more than what you told me to.
Job is done.
- (machine beeps) - (coffee gushing out)
Hello, ladies.
- By the way-- - Umar, please.
If you are going to give me your fake congratulations for getting
Vel Pandiyan's case, don't.
I am already affected by all the negativity.
I'd rather you didn't contribute as well.
Hey, I really wasn't going to say that.
I genuinely feel bad about the interview.
Yes. He kept blabbering about it.
They have nothing else to do than reopening old cases for no reason.
These reporters.
I was telling Sneha about it.
They are interviewing her as if she achieved something big in life.
For clickbait.
I was telling Sneha that we should sue these people.
That's about it.
They are conducting a show like this because they have an audience for it.
I don't know who's at fault here.
Leave it, Tarunika.
Don't worry about it.
Stay strong please.
(in Telugu) I worked like a dog for 25 years in this company.
I spent my entire life working for this company.
I don't know how I will get my daughter married now.
Ungrateful bastards! They fired me.
- It's fine, sir. - It's okay.
- God will be with you. - Please don't be upset.
It's all right. See you.
- (funky music) - (all three sigh)
Today is our 185th Friday group meeting.
And today's topic is an overview on the law of injunction.
Our Friday group member, Sheshadri Rao will be addressing the topic today.
Uh... He is waiting on the video conference call.
Rao sir, the room is yours. Please start.
Good morning, and it's nice to have you here
for the day. The topic for the day
is the law of injunction.
- Okay. - Injunctions
are typically...
Ma'am, your husband is a gem.
I used to go to the hearings to listen to his arguments alone.
What I am saying is he will clear his name and prove his innocence.
- (Rao) It is for the court to decide... - Thank you.
...to grant interim order...
Good morning, Mr. Elango Moorthy.
Hope you have been doing well.
- How come you have called? - Regarding RBV Fertility Hospital,
I have something to tell you.
I see. What is it?
They forced me to issue an NOC. I had such a hard time.
I was wondering why they were doing it. I dislike them.
But was happy after hearing that you requested for an appeal against them.
- Very good, ma'am. - (laughs)
Thank you, sir. You must have had a hard time. I am sorry to hear that.
You are fighting to bring justice. I wish you all the best.
But be a bit careful.
We will, sir. Thank you so much. Thank you for calling.
(phone vibrating)
- Hello. - Hello. Greetings, Hari Deepak.
I am speaking on behalf of RBV Fertility Hospital.
(chair creaking)
Go on.
- Sir? - Please go ahead.
Okay. We have been watching your moves against our hospital.
We can also think of a few ways that will benefit both of us.
(water gushing)
What else are you seeing?
What do you see?
I am seeing hot water.
I like your joke.
I really like your sense of humour.
But that's not what I meant.
I am talking about a negotiation. What are you expecting from us?
Okay, Mr. Hari.
We will offer you a substantial amount. How does that sound?
You and Lavanya madam can spend your time doing absolutely nothing
and not even lifting a finger for a year. We will send you on vacation.
Oh.
There is an advertisement that says, "We are here."
Is your tagline "We will find a way"?
Yes, Hari. We can do that.
Mmm.
This is a sweet offer, Mr. Hari. It will expire shortly.
Afterwards, no one will talk this way.
There will only be action.
Hey, what's the difference between you and a guy who commits credit fraud?
Hang up, you bastard.
(door creaks)
(notification chimes)
Tarunika, I didn't mention Gunaseelan in any of the interviews that I gave.
But it kind of sounded like I was talking about him.
It's wrong to spread your personal matter outside and let people know.
I will not talk like that from now on.
Sorry.
Your Honour, the impugned order to reopen RBV Fertility Hospital
is of gross miscarriage of justice,
especially to young girls in our society.
RBV Fertility Hospital has been engaging in activities
that are anti-social and against the law.
Women, mainly young minor girls...
They have been harvesting their eggs by forcing them and
making them do it against their will.
Not only that, they are also forcing these minor girls to take part
in sexual activities and sexual crimes.
So, basically RBV Fertility Hospital
is the prime enabler in all of this.
So, I would like to humbly request the honourable court to set aside
the order of the Sessions Court.
Objection, Your Honour.
Sustained.
Your Honour, more than 10,000 families have benefitted from this scheme.
I have their testimonials and evidence.
Filing a false case against a reputed company, spreading lies by paying people
are things small hospitals do nowadays. Nothing else.
(scoffs) Your Honour, we have two very strong pieces of evidence against RBV.
Firstly, the testimony of the minor girl who is the victim in this case.
Secondly, harvesting eggs of minor girls like her
is illegal is something that the RBV staff doesn't know.
We have a recording that proves their ignorance.
I saw the evidence.
Yes, Your Honour.
After examining the evidence and listening to both parties,
this court is allowing the appeal.
The Sessions' Court order of reopening RBV Fertility Hospital
is hereby kept on hold.
Thank you.
(applause)
Congratulations, everyone.
Enjoy yourselves.
Please come.
- Ma'am, I'll help you. - Sure.
(triumphant music)
Hey, Lavanya.
- Uh? - You were brilliant today.
So happy.
Thank you, Hari. But since the case was pretty strong,
I didn't have to argue much.
You are right.
But you stood up against RBV and refused to accept their offer.
I am referring to that. It was a brilliant move as a lawyer.
Being a lawyer is not just about arguing. I wonder sometimes
if you changed into someone who is so money-minded and corporate.
- (Hari chuckles) - (notification chimes)
But you stood with your client and didn't waver, and won the case.
And now we are celebrating.
- Makes me adore you, partner. - Thank you.
Aadhya sent a voice note. I would like you to listen to it as well.
What did she say?
(Aadhya) Congrats, Lavanya akka and Tarunika akka.
Thanks a lot. With a lot of kisses, Aadhya.
- So sweet, right? - Yeah.
- Good job. - Thank you, ma'am.
Excuse me.
The way you complimented her was really beautiful.
Thank you.
The petition under Section 482 of the CrPC,
seeking to squash the proceedings against Vel Pandiyan
is rejected. The court finds that
the non-obstante section of 19 of the POCSO Act
takes precedence over the CrPC,
including its provisions under Section 155.
(eerie music)
(stamp taps)
Did Vel Pandiyan think court is a studio where you record videos
to post on YouTube?
Does he want to yell at the top of his voice and perform there as well?
He knows the law, right? That's why he is trying to find loopholes to
get away with what he did.
Imagine coming to the court to argue after committing contempt of court.
I wonder where he studied law from.
Whether the tickets are getting sold for the concert or not tomorrow,
I heard the passes are getting sold out fast for tomorrow's trial.
Not possible.
They won't allow anyone inside the court hall. The doors will be closed.
A few media personnel do not even know that this is a POCSO case.
But I understand their curiosity.
But I also need some developments.
I need strong evidence that he took bribe from the hospital to defame her.
(exhales) Okay.
I am on it.
Sir, instead of addressing you as "Your Lordship" like how the British do,
I will stick with just "sir."
Even the Chief Justice has said that calling "sir" will do.
Yes, no one forgot that.
You can go ahead.
Thank you.
- Your Honour, what I want to say is-- - You just said, "Honour."
Sir, what I-I want to confirm is that
I never disclosed that girl's identity first. I did not do that.
She recorded a video and posted it on social media saying she wants justice.
The video went viral overnight.
She blurred her face and re-uploaded the video the very next day.
But she was too late. Everyone already saw her face and they know who she is.
So, not disclosing the girl's identity is absolutely irrelevant here.
It's a moot point, sir.
Your Lordship, even though the defendant is right about the video,
all the responsible media outlets followed Section 23's procedures
and didn't reveal her identity.
But he, on the other hand, spread the victim's photos with her classmates.
With the clear intent of tarnishing her image and weakening
- her support in the public. - This is ridiculous!
Mr. Vel Pandiyan, please wait for your turn to speak.
Sorry, sir.
Furthermore,
he did all this after getting money and a luxury car
from the hospital as payment.
He didn't have the simple intention of providing news to the public.
He slandered a girl by stooping so low all for getting some cash for his fun.
He only wants money, Your Lordship. That's what he wants.
This is a highly ruthless argument.
I am with the people's conscience.
It would be better for your conscience to stay inside.
Your Lordship.
I-I mean Your Honour.
Choose one, sir.
Sir.
It's very clear that this argument is driven by a personal vendetta.
Madam is mad at me because I keep exposing her lies.
Objection, Your Lordship!
You shouldn't call her that. This is a court.
Sorry, sir.
What I meant was
she is having a hard time as I keep exposing the truth.
You revealed the truth? A personal vendetta?
You are not worth going to such great lengths for revenge.
Watch your words, Ms. Tarunika.
This is a court of law.
Sorry, Your Lordship.
The hearing is adjourned
until further notice.
I got a bird.
- What is it? - Someone claiming to have evidence
against Vel Pandiyan and coming here to show us if we agree.
- Shall we? - Let's go.
(crow cawing)
So, Madhi, you said you wanted to give us some information.
You can say it.
I worked with Vel Pandiyan.
But, when I worked with him,
I didn't like the way he was operating and I distanced myself.
What are you talking about?
See this, ma'am.
The person who is shaking his hand is
the son of the Managing Director of the RBV Fertility Hospital.
The person who is standing in the background
is my guy. We can bring him as a witness, madam.
O-Okay, Madhi. Please forward that photo to me.
- I will stay in touch. I will call. - Okay, madam.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Okay, madam. - Thank you.
Thank you.
(introspective music)
Is this the hotel?
No, I am not alone. I am with Hari sir.
Okay.
This is it.
- Hi. - Hi, ma'am.
Welcome to Ann's Palace.
How may I assist you?
We are from ALH law firm.
We are here to find out about a booking made on May 31st.
Booked under Mr. Vel Pandiyan.
- Please check. - I will ask the manager
and get back to you.
(both) Thank you.
(tense music)
(music rises)
Here you go, ma'am.
- (music fades out) - (notification chimes)
Oh, shit!
- Hey, Anna. What happened? - Stay here. I will be right back.
(door creaks)
(running footsteps)
(car engine starts)
(panting)
- How are you? - What about you?
- Good to see you, Balaji. - Great.
- I have something for you. - What is it?
I reopened the hospital.
You helped me out. I have to do something in return.
- Why a car? - There is a bigger surprise for you.
Leave it. Let's take a photo first.
(giggles)
Your Lordship, this video is proof
that Mr. Vel Pandiyan accepted a luxury car from the son of the MD
of RBV Fertility Hospital, and we can see how he is celebrating.
This video proves that he took a bribe in order to defame the victim.
Sir, what if I tell you this is utter fabrication?
This is a deepfake video created with the help of advanced technology.
Mr. Vel Pandiyan, why are you saying whatever you want?
What does that mean? ''What if I tell you?''
Sorry, sir.
Yes, I accepted the car.
Is that a crime?
The person in the photo is none other than my friend.
We celebrated my buying of a car. So, what about it?
Your Lordship, buying a car is not a crime.
But he should have bought it with his own money.
The payment for the car was debited from RBV Hospital's bank account.
Moreover, the hotel bill for staying overnight the same day,
the things he bought and ate, I mean, while he was staying at the hotel,
the room bill for what he ordered and the drinks he had,
everything was paid for by RBV Hospital.
All of that has been submitted as evidence.
Sir, is this called payment?
Can I say that they paid for your stay and bribed you with a luxury car?
Whoever pays him uses him and his channel
to defame their targets.
This is the evidence.
I rest my case, Your Lordship.
S-Sir! I mean, Your Honour. This is
- a complete fabri-- - Considering the intensity of the case,
I am extending the culprit Vel Pandiyan's custody.
(camera shutter clicks)
(triumphant music)
(music intensifies)
(camera shutter clicks)
- (pleasant music) - (notifications popping up)
Just like you anticipated, things are going viral on social media.
(Lavanya) Hmm.
"Tarunika-Vel Pandiyan" is trending everywhere.
She is doing something to boost her public image.
Only time will tell how that is going to benefit our law firm. We will see.
(Hari chuckles)
Did Vetal climb back the banyan tree again?
Look, Lavanya.
What you are doing is very wrong.
Mmm.
Did you give her a narrative? Asking her to say and do things
for our firm's benefit? Did you?
No, right?
Then, why expect anything?
Aha!
Loverboy to the rescue!
- Right? - Lavanya.
You are hopeless.
Tomorrow's Guna's hearing.
I know.
(Lavanya laughs)
Your Honour, my client, Mr. Gunaseelan is a man of high ethical standards.
Moreover, he is a devoted husband
as well as a loving father.
So, his character is beyond reproach.
That's all, Your Honour.
Your Honour, saying that Gunaseelan is a good husband is debatable.
Because his wife has met with a divorce lawyer.
His statement is meaningless.
Is this true?
(phone vibrating)
Okay, so the trial is on the 24th? All right then.
Guna was granted bail.
About what the prosecution lawyer said back in the room...
Uh... I saw a divorce lawyer when the scandal came out.
Okay, I will bring Guna.
I have arranged for a small party to celebrate his return.
Please don't treat him harshly when he comes home.
(soft music)
- (door clicks) - Paati, it's him.
- Coming. - (Guna exclaims)
(kisses) Are you well?
May all the evil eyes cast upon you
go away.
Go inside, son.
Go inside. Put your right foot forward.
Look at how happy Rithu is.
- So happy after seeing her father. - Pass it to Mama.
She will sleep well tonight.
She will be so lively from now on.
- True. - It's been a long time.
(laughs)
Sit down.
(introspective music)
Rithesh.
Can't sleep?
(Guna tsks)
Look at me.
Give me your hand.
Look, Rithesh.
Appa will fix everything.
Hey.
Trust me.
Go to sleep.
(kisses)
(switch clicks)
(door creaks shuts)
(music turns melancholic)
Good night.
(melancholy music continues)
(door closes)
(music intensifies)
(music fades out)
