Sidharth 's office - day

Sidharth 's car stops in the driver in. Sidharth gets out almost in a trance . Behind Sidharth, SI Jatav steps out of his jeep . SI Jatav joins him . Amidst salutes aplenty Sidharth is led in to his cabin. Mayank too breezes in.

SI Jatav - sir residence se phone tha, Ghar se khana aayega kya? Waise aaj hum logon ne aap ke liya canteen se litti Choukha bhi mangwaya hai sir .

Sidharth almost doesn't hear the question. He is probably still there in that moment by the mango tree.

Sidharth - theek hai.

Jatav doesn't under which option he wants . Sidharth enters the office .Jatav is a step Behind him.
MAYANK - ( whisper to SI Jatav) dono Manga lijiye Jatav ji, phir dekhte hain.

Jatav enters Behind Sidharth . MAYANK stays out . Sidharth looks around the room and stumps in his chair.

SI Jatav ( hesitating) - sir parmod aur Mishra ko bhej dun briefing ke liye?

Sidharth doesn't respond. The ceiling fan is making a squeaking sound . Suddenly:

Sidharth ( loud) - MAYANK! MAYANK!

MAYANK rushes in.

MAYANK - yes sir.

Sidharth (angry) - ye pankha itni Awaaz kyun kar raha Hai?

Aakash - main karwattaa hoon teekh sir, karwatta hoon.

MAYANK stops for a moment contemplating if Sidharth has something more to say and then leaves.

Sidharth - ( to SI Jatav) FIR KYUN nahi likhi thi?

SI Jatav- sir wo itna serious lag nahi tha sir..

Sidharth ( cuts in )- Kab lagta hai itna serious?

SI JATAV - Sir Inn logon ke jhoothe case bhi baahut aate hain sir . Janwari Mein ek ladka bhag gaya tha Ghar se. Inke kehnee per kidnapping ki FIR likhi li thi humane. Poore mahine Inn logon ne..

Sidharth - kin logon ne?

He stares at Jatav sharply. JATAV looks down and doesn't say anything . (A beat) Sidharth takes a deep breath.

Sidharth - (restless) teesari ladki ka FIR karwaao . ABHI.

SI JATAV - sir

MAYANK has returned.

Sidharth - aur Parmod ko .. aur wo kya naam hai..

SI JATAV - Mishra.

Sidharth - Bhejo dono ko.

SI JATAV - sir..

He rushes out. Sidharth looks disturbed and earnest.

Brahmadatt digs out a packet of biscuits from his pocket and feeds the dogs and saves the last one for himself.

Sukkha - wo unki assistant hain , Dr Malti Ram.

Brahmadatt ( disgusted , sarcastic) Bhim Rao Ambedkar ki Jai ho!

An assistant comes and whisper to him.

Assistant - Prabhat Samantaray waale Navin ji baithe hain.

Brahmadatt ( to his junior , angry )- saala ped pe latka ke poster Bana diya media ke liye..!!

His biscuits have finished . He moves to his office and changes his demeanor completely on the way .

Brahmadatt - (absolutely doesn't believe what he says ) honor killing hai.

Brahmadatt is actually sitting with the journalist in his cabin.

Brahmadatt - dono cousin ladkiyan thi, ab bachpane mein ho gaya hoga kucchh sanmband . Aajkal sunny leoni wagaira Ghar Ghar mein ghus gaya Hai. Baapon ko Pata chal gaya , bardasht hua nahin , latkay diye! Ye Bayan nahin de Rahe hain.. sootron se pooch ke baata.. Rahe hain ... samajh Rahe hain na?

Brahmadatt - Sir, Gaon mein toh Shanti hai ab in fact. Subha paper mein bhi aa jayega honor killing Bata ke.

Sidharth - paper Waylon se baat ki aapne?

Brahmadatt - nahi sir!

Sidharth - post mortem report Kab tak aayegi?

Brahmadatt - aa jayegi sir in fact.

Brahmadatt- sir

Brahmadatt salutes as Sidharth is about to get in the car.
Something occurs to Sidharth . He stops and turns to Brahmadatt.

Sidharth - wo ladki kucch bhi karke dhundhni hai mujhe

Brahmadatt  - Kaun ladki sir? Ohh.. Haan Hann Sir, of of course sir . Sorry sir ..aapko..

Sidharth stares at him in disbelief . Brahmadatt knows that he just made a faux pas. Sidharth sits in the car

Sidharth - Hamirpur ke alwa aur Kaun se gaanv hain hai us ped ke pass ?

Brahmadatt - do aur hain hain sir . Apparra and chhatni

Sidharth- teeno gaanv mein aadami bhejiye . Ek ek aadmi se baat Karo. Kisi ne kucch dekha ho..
(To MAYANK)
Tum aur Jatav residence pe aake milo.

This makes Brahmadatt more uncomfortable . MAYANK Nods.
The car drives away.

Later in the car right outside the office compound.

Sidharth - Nihal, Satyendra Rai ka phone nahi lag raha Hai. Unke Ghar jaake bolo ki mujhe phone karein.

Chandra bhan pulls over. Nihal gets down .
