01x05 - Con the Conman

[bunniefuu]

Well, the presentation is fine. But

Sir, I am telling you

renewable energy is the future.

But in terms of capacity,

Sun and wind is of no use to us as of now.

And hydro energy is not being used

enough to its ultimate capacity, sir.

Listen,

I am a politician.

But that doesn't mean I am not educated.

I have read this at school.

Come on. Come to the exciting part.

Yes, sir. The exciting part.

My exciting part is actually waste.

Human waste.

Garbage.

Sir, the amount of garbage collected

from more than 70 percent of the

cities of India is a tonne every day.

Delhi alone holds 10,000

metric tonnes of waste.

What I am suggesting is

we should not dump this waste.

But instead use them as fuel.

Using state of the

art Danish technology, sir.

I have a proposal to build

a waste to energy power plant.

A single power plant can

process up to 50 percent waste.

And can provide electricity

to more than 30 percent homes.

Sounds good.

How can I help you in this?

There's an entire ministry for it. Go.

But I need your specialty.

For the last six months,

the meeting with the ministry

has been getting postponed.

That's the exciting part for me.

Yes, sir.

I'll ensure that the next

meeting doesn't get postponed.

What are you going to ensure?

100 million in cash.

How sweet.

Equity. 40 percent.

40 percent, sir?

100 million is of no use to me.

I'll be just another corrupt

politician or a corrupt criminal.

Not my style.

I am a businessman.

Let's keep it professional.

And if I have stakes in the company,

I'll ensure success as well.

- Understood?

- Yes, sir.

Good. I love young entrepreneurs.

Thank you.

You see, Harpreet,

we will have to revise

our business deal.

What do you mean, sir?

I mean in return of getting

your proposal sanctioned,

I don't want money from you.

Nor equity in your business.

So what do you want, sir? Tell me.

Can you act?

What she means is you have

to be a fake witness for us in case.

That's it?

Fake witness? What do you

The plan is fool proof.

In fact, this is all about.

So she would be able

to explain it better.

Please.

You do not have to be afraid.

You just say have to say

what I tell you in the court.

Ma'am, but what do you want me to say?

All you have to say is that your

marriage with Preeti was called off

because of Manjeet Walia.

Just repeat my words in court.

Is this the only way left?

Convicting Prince the wrong way?

This is wrong. I am not convinced.

I can understand.

But you know him.

These are the tricks

he resorts to in the court.

So only to tackle him..

And she is good at it.

At the end of the day, what do we want?

To put him behind bars. Right?

Right?

Mr. Harpreet Singh,

tell the court what exactly

happened on the day of your wedding.

Arrangements all okay?

Happy?

Excuse me.

I'm sorry?

Very, very happy.

Thank you so much, brother.

I'll go keep the bags in the car.

I'll pay the fees in advance.

Come on, man. You call me your

brother and then you embarrass me.

Just get married.

The commission is not going anywhere.

This is the thing. You just

keep giving your younger brother.

But do not take anything in return.

It is not fees. It is my token of love.

From one brother to another brother.

Thank you so much, brother.

- Thank you.

- Have a great married life.

Okay.

- Go on.

- Come on now.

Quiet. Quiet, everyone.

Aunt, quiet please.

Papa, will you please keep quiet?

I am talking.

What do you mean there is no booking?

It should be in some other sheet.

Check right now.

Harpreet Singh weds Preeti Gogia.

- Give me the phone.

- I am sorry, sir.

But we have already checked.

There has been no booking

under that name for today.

Yes, there is a booking for sure.

But it's for tomorrow.

All the pre wedding

functions took place here.

Now you are saying there

is no booking for the wedding.

Check again.

There should be a booking

under the name Manjeet Walia.

That's what I am telling you, madam.

You had a booking.

But it was until yesterday.

You have no booking for today.

Where is Manjeet?

Where is Manjeet Walia?

Manjeet.

Try Manjeet's number. Where is he?

I saw him at the park.

A short while ago.

It's switched off. The runt.

Manjeet's website

says 404 error not found.

Brother.

Look. Instagram. Facebook.

The ID is erased everywhere.

He is no planner. It's all a scam.

Tell him. We're coming for him.

Get the swords out.

Get the sword out of the car.

Get it out.

- Call his assistant.

- I am trying.

It's switched off.

Baby, relax. Don't worry. I am calling.

It's nothing but a misunderstanding.

Why won't we get married?

There is nothing we can do.

It's quite a tragic story, Mr. Harpreet.

Your story is comparable

to Shakespeare's story.

Your Honour, defence is

trying to mock my witness again.

I am not mocking him.

I am just asking a question.

What do you have any

proof to validate his story?

Yes, I do.

Pawan Kumar Bawaria has

no alibi for 14th December.

There is no proof either

that he was in Udaipur.

We do. Polygraph test, Your Honour.

Pawan Kumar Bawaria claims

that he doesn't know Harpreet Singh.

- But the test results say he is lying.

- Polygraph test.

Mr. Jaidev,

what sort of behaviour is this?

Sorry, Mylord.

I am warning you.

Your Honour,

I have another witness to prove

that Mr. Pawan Kumar Bawaria is a liar.

- He is a scammer. He is a fraud

- Ms, Ritu, as always you are

Excuse me. Sir, please maintain decorum.

I am not Ms. Ritu. To you here,

I am an honourable public prosecutor.

Mr. Jaydev,

be mindful of the protocol at least.

Sorry, Mylord.

My apologies.

But Mylord,

the honourable public prosecutor

is hell bent on proving that

my client is a dishonest man.

I request you to hear my witness,

your honour.

And we will know if I'm trying

to prove his client a liar

or if he is trying to hide the truth.

I want your permission to call my

next witness in the witness box please.

Mr. Pawan Kumar Bawaria's

mother Sudha Bawaria.

Permission granted.

Don't be nervous. Here. Have some water.

I don't want.

Are you scared?

You have summoned me here

and you ask if I am scared.

We have just summoned you here.

We are not putting you behind bars.

You may leave any time.

I am sure you must not

have called me to say that.

No.

To give you a chance

to reduce your son's punishment.

But hold on a minute.

Have you eaten anything?

Let's order something. Brijesh.

Yes. What would you like to have?

You get really good bread fritters here.

Should I order some?

- I don't want.

- No, no. I insist.

Look, a diabetic patient

should have meals on time.

How do you know I have diabetes?

Your nails.

Everyone in my family has it.

It hasn't spared anyone.

Mummy. Papa.

I feel I am next.

No. In that case,

you should get yourself

checked up regularly.

This is a hereditary disease.

Correct. Hereditary disease.

There are numerous other

hereditary disease. Do you know?

Your family history.

You should know.

What your ancestors were into?

Robbery. Theft. Pillaging. All of that.

My son is not like that at all.

Madam,

even Ravana's mother

thought he was right.

My son is not like that at all.

He doesn't care

about himself.

He always talks of doing good to others.

- I see.

- Believe me.

To whom has your great son done good?

Please tell me.

Mother.

Mother. Mother.

Hello. Ambulance. Ambulance.

Hello. Mother..

Mother

Hurry up. Come on.

Mother. Mother. Careful. Careful. Easy.

Mother. Mother. Lay down.

- I am fine.

- Don't worry.

The insulin level fluctuated a little.

So the blood pressure dropped.

It is stable now.

I'm glad you got her here quickly.

I'll prescribe some tests.

Get them done.

Okay. Wait.

You are absolutely fine, aunt.

You may go home.

I am fine.

I didn't have water. So I felt dizzy.

- I am fine.

- Mother, you are not the doctor.

He is the doctor. Let's get

the tests he has prescribed done.

Hold on.

Okay.

These tests are going

to cost us 10 to 12 thousand.

Why spend so much?

And how are you going

to arrange so much money?

- You just have water on time regularly.

- Son, give me some more time.

Don't move him out of the ICU.

Uncle, this is the hospital's decision.

Not mine.

Pleading won't help.

The ICU beds are in high demand.

I can't help it.

Now where do I move him?

Please leave.

Uncle. He is my uncle.

What's the pending

amount he has to pay off?

For every mother, her son is a hero.

But in reality, what happened

here was an insurance fraud.

He scammed his own

cashless insurance policy.

With the help of the billing executive,

he registered the old

man under his father's name.

And then he claimed double

the amount of the actual bill.

He gave half the money to the patient.

And Pawan Kumar and that

cashier shared the remaining amount.

Everyone was happy.

I know the defence

will demand a proof now.

Your honour, we would like

to submit the confession

of the billing officer in the court.

Mylord,

someone's life and health

was at stake in the hospital.

My client helped the

old man no gave a damn about.

I agree that it is a crime

as it is against the law.

But that doesn't prove

my client a conman.

He has everyone in an illusion.

His mother. Hs childhood friend.

And even his wife.

Your Honour,

please give me the permission

to call my next witness

in the witness box.

Mr. Pawan Kumar Bawaria's

wife Nupur Bawaria.

The business was not doing well.

You had no money for

the daily expenditure.

In that situation, your husband

gives a stranger 30,000 rupees.

Didn't you find it strange?

Why would I find it strange?

Madam, you are a cop.

It is your job to look

at people with suspicion.

But have you ever looked

at a family member that way?

No. I know my husband really well.

My husband is a gentleman.

His intention can never

be to make someone suffer losses.

He might suffer a loss himself.

But he can never even think

of making someone else suffer a loss.

Ma'am,

your husband's intentions have been

evident to us since the very first day.

This is why their

business doesn't do well.

His client is in urgent need.

But he has no money to pay urgently.

So her husband gives

people tyres on credit.

But he doesn't get paid for it.

This is a strategy to gain by sympathy

by making yourself look like a loser.

It's bullshit.

There is a lot more

that you don't know, madam.

Like what?

Pawan donated all the money.

he had saved up for his

wedding to the orphanage.

So that they get educated.

And lead a better life like us.

Who does that in this day and age?

Prince in the only one who thinks

like that and puts it into action.

How are weddings normally?

It is grand. People like to show off.

But Prince did nothing of that sort.

Our wedding was a simple affair.

We got married at the nearby temple,

in the presence of few relatives.

This looks more like the story

of some Bollywood hero from the 90s.

The messiah of the poor.

Someone who donated the money.

he saved up for his

wedding to an orphanage.

Or committed a fraud under

the pretext of that donation.

Your Honour, we have submitted

enough evidences in the court to prove

that Mr. Pawan Kumar Bawaria

played a dirty game under

the pretext of charity.

He donated the money he saved

up for his wedding to the orphanage

and gained their trust.

And he cut a deal for

the property of that orphanage.

The orphanage was moved

to some other building.

And that property was

sold to Makwana realtors.

And for this job,

Pawan Kumar Bawaria even received

a brokerage of 2 lakh rupees.

Yes, Mylord.

Please go through these

documents once again.

It clearly states that

a meditation centre

now stands on the property

of the orphanage.

For people who seek mental peace.

And the orphanage hasn't been

closed down. It has just been moved.

I don't think anyone has suffered

any loss in this transaction.

My client used this

opportunity for a larger cause.

I'm sure your client has pulled off

all the cons so far for a noble cause.

Why don't you ask him

to accept everything

and then we'll recommend

his name for the noble peace prize.

Mylord, this is utter nonsense.

Ms. Ritu, don't get carried away.

This is a court room. Not a comedy show.

Use your words judicially.

I'm sorry, Your Honour.

Mr. Jaidev, you carry on.

Mylord, someone else

will have to say sorry now.

What do you mean?

I mean I would like to call Mr.

Harpreet to the witness box again.

Permission granted.

Your soon to be wife went into shock

when you found out that

Manjeet Walia is a conman.

Yes, sir.

Was the shock so big that

she called off the wedding?

Sir, our feelings,

money, pride was reduced to a joke.

There was nothing left in that wedding.

You would have understood

had you been there.

For now, you are here in the courtroom.

Lying here is contempt of the court.

And a crime as well.

Speak up.

I am not lying, sir.

This is the reason

our wedding was called off.

That's a lie.

Sister, see.

Call him. Call him.

Try again. Try him again. Bloody hell.

Mother f*ck.

- What is this?

- What? Hold on a minute.

What is this?

So, this is what you were up to?

Preeti, I know none of this.

Oh my god.

Bloody leech.

You actually think you can explain this.

To hell with this wedding.

Mylord, it has the screenshots of Mr.

Harpreet Singh's chats as well.

The respected Mr.

Harpreet would use girls

by making believe

that he would marry them.

He even impregnated one of them.

And then they had

to get the child aborted.

And their wedding was called off

when Preeti got these chats and photos.

I object, Your Honour.

It is very easy to doctor

fake images these days.

Really?

So now are you going to

question their authenticity too?

If you can question the authenticity

of the polygraph test

but I can't question it.

What are you trying to say?

What is Mr. Harpreet going to

gain by testifying falsely in the court?

The same thing Mr. Pawan

Kumar was getting in your stories

a little while ago.

What?

Insurance money.

Mylord,

these files contain

insurance documents too.

Mr. Harpreet was always fearful

that some girl would show up

and tell Preeti the entire truth.

So he got his wedding insured.

People do this today.

If for some unexpected reason,

someone's wedding doesn't happen

then he can claim this money.

But Mr. Harpreet's wedding was

called off because of his disloyalty.

You can't claim any insurance

money in that situation.

So he made up a fake story or a con.

So that he had an explanation

for the wedding being called off.

Am I right?

Wow. So this is just a theory as of now.

Your theory.

All circumstantial evidences, right?

All your evidences have been

circumstantial since the first day.

But still, the court gave the

permission to keep my client in custody.

But today, I request the court

to grant my client the bail

until all the evidences

against my client are gathered.

Bail on what basis, Your Honour?

If his theory was correct,

he would have produced

Preeti in the court today.

I will do that as well.

I have just received these evidences.

Or Preeti would have

been in the court today.

But till then,

I request for my client's bail, sir.

I object.

The defence has not presented

any solid proof to dismiss our claims.

Neither have you to keep

my client in custody for so long.

- Mr. Jaidev you cannot

- Show some respect. - Please.

Maintain the decorum of the court.

I won't repeat myself.

Sorry, Your Honour.

And you will get to

the root of this matter.

The both of you.

Apart from the polygraph tests,

all you have is the fact that

Pawan Kumar was in Udaipur

and not at home or anywhere else

on the night of the

14th of December, right?

Get the evidence to prove that

Pawan Kumar Bawaria was in Udaipur

on the night of the 14th of December.

Or you get the evidence

that he was somewhere else.

On top of that, you are accusing Mr.

Harpreet of being a fake witness.

Prove it.

Present Preet or any

member of her family

in the court in the next hearing.

Yes, Your Honour.

Until then the court

grants Pawan Kumar Bawaria bail

for 30 days.

The court is adjourned.

We are not in the court room. Chill.

Celebrate.

We have a won small battle

today in the form of your bail.

I assure you I will get

the entire case dismissed.

To be honest, more than bailing

out my friend, I am happier

recalling the defeated

face of Ritu Arora in the court.

She has nothing.

Just because a result during

the lie detector test was negative

she is all charged up.

You bet.

I'll find Preeti and produce

her in the court for the next hearing.

And then the face of my

honourable public prosecutor

will be worth watching.

Preeti will not come to the court.

Neither her nor her family.

Ritu Arora has played us.

Jaidev, you haven't won.

She has only let you

have a sense of victory.

How did she play us?

Did you notice she was

angry in the courtroom today?

Ms. Ritu.

That is what you called her, right?

Yes.

But you have addressed her as 'Ms.

Ritu' previously as well.

Why didn't she get angry then?

Did you notice?

That is because

she wants to convince you

that what you are doing is right.

There have been never been

so many loopholes in her arguments.

How come there were so many today?

Have you given it a thought?

But why would she dig her own grave?

Magician's trick.

What trick?

Remember we would

go to the circus as kid.

- Yes.

- The Magician's show.

- Yes.

- What does the magician do?

He has just a small thing.

We know that Prince was in

Udaipur on 14th of December. Right?

Right.

And he masks that thing with illusion.

And Harpreet Singh's wedding

was called off in

Udaipur on 14th December.

Right?

We just have to

connected these two dots.

And make a story.

Fake story of a wedding con.

Fake story?

We know how Pawan Kumar looks.

We know how he can disguise himself.

We know what he likes.

We also know how he

reacts when he is nervous.

We know about his Asthma.

In short,

we know everything about Pawan Kumar.

We just have to weave

this information into a story.

Fake story.

So the entire Manjeet

Walia story is fake?

And she will prove it to

be a true story in the court.

How can she do that?

Just like how a magician can.

Through illusion.

Illusion distracts people

from the actual trick.

Pawan Kumar was in

Udaipur on 14th December.

We'll have to buy time till

we find concrete evidence for the same.

And we need to distract defence for it.

You mean the photos,

videos, chats, insurance documents

I received on my phone

today were planted by Ritu.

So that you waste your

time in finding Preeti.

And in the meanwhile she

would gather evidence against me.

To validate her lie.

Hold on.

No conman named Manjeet Walia exists.

Harpreet was cheating on Preeti.

His photographs were all fake.

So why was their wedding got called off?

It was the other way round.

Harpreet wasn't cheating on Preeti.

Preeti was cheating on Harpreet.

Once Harpreet found out he

called off this wedding privately.

Preeti and her family

will never accept it publicly.

Neither can you make them.

Why?

Because Preeti and her family

have been missing since the wedding.

And they will never be found.

No. I am not liking this.

It's okay.

But Jaidev is going to like this.

Because I am going to give

him that one thing he really wants.

The sense of winning.

You were in custody

all this while, right?

Without any phone or computer.

So how do you know all this?

Jaidev, the result of the

lie detector test wasn't wrong.

I have met Harpreet before.

I love young entrepreneurs.

Speaking of which meet Mr. Ajay Chauhan.

Another young entrepreneur

and my soon to be son-in-law.

- Congratulations.

- Thank you.

And I took 40 percent

equity from him too.

Yes, I am not the conman

Manjeet Walia, they created.

But I am everything

else they want to prove.

Ajay Chauhan.

Kirtan Gada.

And what Shaurya and Ritu can ever imagine.
