Mithya (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - Tum Phool Si, Main Kaante Si - full transcript

UNTRUTH

- Sir...
- Not now, Sunanda.

Sir, this is important.

- Tell me.
- Sir, this video...

...changes the whole story.

Sir, the jacket that Rhea is wearing
in this video, has buttons.

'And this jacket,
the one that Rhea gave us...'

'...has a similar style and colour, sir.'

But it has a zipper,
not buttons.

Hello.

I want to discuss something urgent.
Can you come to the morgue?



Okay.

Some new findings have emerged
after the secondary investigation.

Neil's body has two wounds.

This wound on his chest,
was made with this kitchen knife.

'But the wound on his neck'

'...is from a different knife.'

- You mean two knives were used?
- Exactly.

And you're telling us this now?

In the initial inspection,
both wounds seemed...

'...to be from the tip
of the kitchen knife.'

Like an unsuccessful,
you know, attempt.

'But a more detailed inspection
tells us that...'

...the serration of both the knives
are different from each other.

- 'But...'
- But what?



The stab on the chest
is what killed Neil.

And that is the knife
that killed him.

The police found a letter
in your office.

Apparently, written by Rhea to you.

- I didn't get any letter.
- Your fingerprints are on it.

Just like the knife had my fingerprints?

Because it was from my kitchen.

That letter was written
on a notepad from my office.

Juhi, are you sure
you have been honest with me?

Sir, I want to search
Rhea Rajguru's room.

Why? The murder weapon
has Juhi's fingerprints.

She clearly
had problems with Neil.

- There's no doubt.
- Then why is Rhea lying, sir?

Why did she submit the wrong jacket?
What is she hiding?

Sir.

Thank you, sir.

We're looking for a blue jacket
with buttons, and also a knife.

- Hello.
- Rhea.

The police are searching your room.

What?

None of Juhi's statements are adding up.

All the fricking evidence
is against her.

This case is damn weak, you know.

- I'm afraid that we...
- What are you saying?

You're one of the best
criminal lawyers around.

- So you better make sure...
- 'And unfortunately...'

...you're not one of the best fathers.

You could neither handle Rhea,
nor this situation.

You've destroyed us, Anand.

'If this destroys Juhi any further,
just remember...'

...I will never forgive you.

'Sir, maybe it was a
one-night-stand?'

Hmm. But she did confess that she had
an affair with Neil.

Maybe Neil gave her an identical ring
and she stole the original.

This doesn't make a difference
to the case.

Sir, Rhea is the only one
talking about the affair.

In small towns, news of such affairs
spreads like wildfire.

To top it, these two were
in the same college, sir.

Sunanda, you're ignoring
the proofs that we already have.

'And looking for ones
that don't exist.'

Tell me something.

Did you find the knife and jacket
you went looking for?

- No, sir.
- Good. So, I'll tell you what.

Complete this case file.

- Sir, I want to search Arun's room.
- No.

- But sir...
- No more arguments, Sunanda.

Searching Arun's room,
will cause panic all over...

...students' families and the whole city
will raise alarms about security.

I agree, sensational crimes
are rare in a small town like ours.

But this is not the case
that will make you a DSP overnight.

So please relax.
Complete the case file.

Yes, sir.

Hello.

- What do you want?
- I want to meet you.

Too bad,
I'm not interested anymore.

- Rhea...
- 'Goodbye.'

Meet me at Sunrise Cafe.

- Where?
- Sunrise Cafe.

'You know the place.
I will meet you there.'

What Juhi is going through
is unfair, Rhea.

Why are you telling me all this?

Nothing right has
ever happened to me.

You definitely know something
about Neil's murder case, right?

How would I know anything?

Because whatever has happened
with Juhi in the past few days...

...is somehow linked with you.

I know you had warned me, Rhea.
Yes.

And I did not pay
any attention, and I'm sorry.

But please, just let it go.

- It's too late for that now.
- Don't do this, Rhea. Don't.

You called me here on purpose,
didn't you?

Because this is where
it all began. Right?

This is where it all ended,
for me.

Mama will just be back.
Okay?

'Hey! That woman jumped!'

'What?!
Someone call the police!'

'Oh my God. She has a child!'

'Call the police.
Oh my God. Make a phone call.'

'You were the reason
she jumped to her death.'

You know, Rhea, she was...

...already very disturbed,
very low, when I met her.

Vulnerable.

Her husband...

...and her sister
were both betraying her.

And then you betrayed her as well,
didn't you?

You were the last straw.

Your mother lived in an imaginary,
illusionary world.

And I... I would become
a part of her fantasies.

One day, she planned to elope.

And impulsively, I said yes.

The plan was to meet
at this very cafe.

And after that, we were supposed
to go to Mumbai.

But you didn't come.

No, I... I didn't go.

I was a coward.

But that is not Juhi's fault, Rhea.

So please, don't punish her.

If you want, punish me.

You only suffer when Juhi is in pain.

Juhi doesn't respect me anymore.

I left you for her...

...and she left me
because I did not stand by you.

Ironic, isn't it?

Now I'm left without
both my daughters.

Men like you don't deserve
to be fathers.

Maybe you're right.

If there's anyone
who understands you...

...it's Juhi.

Because she made me realise
that I've wronged you.

She was the only one
who spoke up for you.

And now she may spend
the rest of her life in jail.

So, please, help her.

We're quits then.
Because I already did her a favour.

How?

- What's this?
- Neil did it.

'I was losing my breath.'

'I couldn't breathe,
I was blacking out.'

His hands kept tightening.

I told him that I would tell Juhi
the truth about us.

'And then I stabbed him.'

- You stabbed him?
- What else could I do?

Had I not killed him,
he would have killed me.

Why didn't you tell the police that
you killed him in self-defence?

Would they have believed me?

All my life,
no one has believed me.

And now everyone wants
to know the truth from me?

I didn't want to land Juhi in jail.

But you might have
just saved her from it.

Sunanda.

Sorry. Juhi is innocent.

And I love her. I love her
more than anyone else in the world.

'Hello, everybody.'

This is a proud moment
for all of us here.

One of our own,
Professor Juhi Adhikari...

...HOD of the Hindi Department,
launches her first book.

Those who have read this book already
know what a gem it is.

And those who haven't, well,
a treat awaits you.

I'd like to request Juhi to say
a few words about her book to us.

Mist.
The lines between Truth and Lies.

'Thank you.'

So, I had a long list of titles
for my first book.

But I didn't use any of them.

By the time
I finished writing the last story...

...the book had found a name for itself.
Mist.

You must be wondering, why a book
about truth is titled Mist.

You might think I'm confused.

No, I'm not confused.
Mist is the correct title for this book.

While writing this book,
I realised that sometimes...

...instead of moving ahead,
we must stop.

The light that dissipates the mist
comes from within, not outside.

I hope you like it. Thank you.

JUHI ADHIKARI

Hi!
What is Yash eating?

- Biscuit?
- Biscuit!

- Is Yash eating biscuit?
- Biscuit.

- I want one too, please.
- No.

- Here, have some tea.
- Thank you.

Hi.

Maa, can I leave Yash with you
for a bit tomorrow?

- For a couple of hours?
- Of course you can.

- But where are you going?
- To meet Rhea.

- She wants to meet.
- And you'll go?

She's going to be released
in three months anyway.

For good behaviour.

Juju, after everything
that's happened.

How can you go to meet her?

When he grows up and asks,
what will I tell him?

He will find out someday.

To tell him the truth
I must know the truth myself.

Maa, the Neil I knew
wasn't violent.

I need to know
what went down that night.

What do you want, Rhea?

Isn't that what you wanted to hear?
Since no one has ever asked you this.

- What do you want, Rhea?
- A simple thank you would do.

Thank you?
For killing my husband?

For getting me arrested?
Or for separating my son from his father?

For making your life better.
For giving you a second chance.

For doing that
which you couldn't do yourself.

Oh, please. You make it sound like
you killed Neil for me.

- You killed him to save yourself.
- Come on.

You don't believe that self-defence
jazz, do you?

Everyone has a breaking point.

'He had one too.'

You evil b***h!

'Just get the hell out of here.'

'Okay.'

But do give Juhi this last gift
from me.

'Bhaisaab's collar?'

Rhea.

Do you know why your mother
committed suicide?

Because she had birthed
a monster like you.

But you told dad...

...that you killed Neil
in self-defence?

If I hadn't said that, how would
I have managed to get you out of jail?

And if I hadn't said self-defence...

How would I have managed
such a reduced sentence for myself?

But that mark on your neck?

That? Someone else made that.

Hello.

Arun, why weren't you
answering your phone?

What happened, Rhea?
You sound scared.

Ronnie, there's been a huge f**k up.
I need your help.

'I killed Neil, because he was
about to kill me.'

'Arun. Please help me.'

'Rhea, don't cry. Please, don't cry.
Wipe your tears.'

'Good girl. Now listen to me carefully.
Go to the kitchen.'

'There must be some knives.'

'Pick up the sharpest knife.'

'Don't get your fingerprints
on it.'

'Now take it back to Neil.'

'Now, leave the kitchen knife there.'

'And take the knife with which
you attacked him first...'

'Put it in your bag,
and throw it away on your way.'

I'm sorry, Rhea. It'll hurt.
Please endure it.

Rhea, it's important
to make these marks.

Yes.

'Everything you said
was a lie?'

It was necessary.
For you, and for me as well.

This is the difference
between you and me.

You always look for lies,
whereas I...

I can never abandon the truth.

You're still delusional.
You have no sense of realisation.

No remorse.

Rhea, because of you,
a man is dead.

And Yash is growing up
without a father.

What's the point of living with
such a father? That pathetic cheat.

Trust me, I know what it feels like
to grow up as a child of one.

Why don't you get it?
I have done all of this for you.

This is what f*****g irritates me.

Why do you need a weak man
like Neil?

Anand, Rajguru, Neil.
They are nothing but worthless cheats.

Why give them any space
place in our lives?

We don't need them.
We have each other.

- We're strong, we're capable...
- Enough!

Enough.

Rhea, what happened to you
was terrible.

But that doesn't mean
you can go about killing people.

Dad... Dad may be a bad person.

But he's not a bloody
murderer like you.

And Yash will surely miss Neil.

But he's not going to come
looking for you. You know why?

Because it's all in the bloody
upbringing.

Something that you didn't get.

But don't make your misfortune,
your excuse.

Stop it. Just stop it. Enough.

Stop blaming the world, others,
your mother's death. Enough.

We will never meet again.

I really hope, Rhea, that you find
something in your life to live for.

So, good luck, and goodbye.

And, if you ever try to get
in touch with me again...

...I'll send you right back here.

And this is not a warning.

This is a promise.

I have reached.
Yes or no?

Yes.

I have not come to meet you.

I have got someone
to meet you.

By JUHI ADHIKARI.
MIST. THE LINES BETWEEN TRUTH AND LIES.

Hi!

'Dear Juhi, you were right.'

'Upbringing is everything.'

'If that goes wrong,
everything goes wrong.'

'I didn't get a good upbringing.'

'If I had, I'd have been like you too.'

'You know, a perfect woman...'

'...with a good life...'

- '...and a respectable career.'
-'Tony, come here. Tony.'

'So, should I believe
that I am who I am...'

'...because you got my share
of upbringing?'

'Who is responsible
for who I turned out to be?'

'Or was I just born this way?'

'You're Juhi, a flower.'

'And me, your sister.
I am a thorn.'

'By the time you get this letter...'

'I'll be out of prison.'

'While leaving, you had said
I should stay away from you and Yash.'

'Juju. I promise I will.'

'But you're convinced I am a liar.'

'So, what do you say?'

'Will I come?
Or I won't?'

'What is the truth?
My promise or your faith?'

'What would you choose, Juhi?'

'Truth? Or Lies?'

Yash!

Yash!
