Even we have no clue

All we know is that Amir and

his roommate Shankar had a brawl

Shankar fell from the balcony.

Perhaps Amir pushed him

They lived on the tenth floor.

- Amir had told me about Shankar

They got along very well.

- Correct

Their neighbours too confirm that.

- Then this is certainly an accident

I too feel the same. I somehow managed

to have a word with Amir last week

He too said the same.

- We can have him released, can't we?

Please tell the police,

he is innocent...

Not that easy. There's no witness

We just have Amir's statement

Amir is a trucker, and...

- His life is not worth a deal, right?

Ma'am, such news is normally

given by the local police

But, I have personally come here,

on leave

Thank you for

the trouble you've taken

Can I talk to Amir?

We don't even know

where he is being held

The punishment will be carried out

in two months

In two months?

Look, I don't intend

to enliven your hopes

But perhaps, there is a way

As per Saudi law. If the widow

forgives her husband's killer...

if Shankar's wife signs

Amir's mercy petition...

Amir can be saved

Thank God. We'll send

these documents at once

The problem is, we have no idea

where she lives

Shankar was from Rajasthan, but

the address in his passport is fake

This practice is quite common. We are

investigating, but it'll take time

Our government is discussing it

with the Saudi government

Will take time?

I don't understand this

You are well-versed with the law.

Is there really no way out?

Rajasthan is a huge state.

Our men are trying...

there's no problem.

- She has to be found somehow...

we just need her signature

Where to?

To find that woman.

- How?

No idea. I know that she lives

in Rajasthan

How will you go there?

No idea

You are so full of confidence...

yet you know so little

All I know is that He will help me

My dear, all the time, we can't leave

every thing to Him

That's why I'm going myself.

- But where will you look for her?

I got a picture of Amir with Shankar

Rajasthan is a huge city

Will you go knocking doors?

I can't sit twiddling my thumbs

All right

Any other information about her?

And I'm certain

you want to leave right now

Right

I wonder what God was thinking

when He created you

Amir too used to say that

All the buses must've left by now

Can't you wait till tomorrow?

If I wait even a moment, I'll feel

as if I'm driving Amir towards death

I won't return without her signature,

Baig saheb

All right

Come on

Greetings, Binder

Salaam Aleikom, Baig saheb.

After years! How've you been?

God has been merciful. What about you?

- I'm first-class. Who's that?

Zeenat
