Episode 3
Kunal’s Bedroom – dim lights, heavy silence. As soon as Kunal shuts the door, he explodes.]
[He throws a glass across the room – it shatters against the wall. He punches the mirror above the dresser, and it cracks instantly. Blood trickles down his knuckles.]
Kunal oberoi
(yelling at himself)
What the f*ck is happening!
[Moments later, he steps out – still shirtless, wiping his face with a towel. That’s when Raghav enters quietly.]
Kunal oberoi
(coldly)
Do I f*cking look okay?
Raghav sinha
(ignores the tone)
Listen… I’ve been thinking.
Try to remember… the girl.
Anything odd?
Anyone suspicious last night?
Kunal oberoi
(frustrated)
I don’t remember her.
Not her name, not her face… nothing.
I don’t even know what happened after the second drink.
[He sits on the edge of his bed, burying his face in his hands.]
Raghav sinha
(calm but focused)
I’ve pulled every piece of information I could.
Guest list, CCTV footage, bartender’s statement... everything.
We need to solve this before it even reaches the courtroom.
Kunal oberoi
: (looking up, eyes burning)
And what if we can’t?
What if they don’t believe me?
Raghav sinha
Then we make them believe you.
But first—we find out who that girl is.
And what the hell really happened last night.
[Raghav’s phone starts ringing. He checks the screen and answers quickly.]
Raghav sinha
(serious tone)
Yes? …Okay.
We’re coming right now.
Raghav sinha
We have to go.
To the hospital.
Kunal oberoi
(confused)
Hospital? Why?
Raghav sinha
The girl… she’s there.
And her family too.
We need to try and settle things before this explodes further.
Kunal oberoi
: (clenching his jaw)
Settle?
You mean negotiate?
Raghav sinha
Call it whatever you want, Kunal.
Right now, damage control is the priority.
If we don’t move fast, this could hit the media like wildfire... and once it does, we lose control.
[Kunal grabs a shirt, buttons it up hastily. He doesn’t say a word—his mind is racing. Guilt, confusion, and anger battling inside him.]
[They walk out of the room, silence stretching between them as they head for the car.]

A rundown government hospital – dim lights, cracked walls, the smell of disinfectant mixing with silence
[Kunal and Raghav walk through the narrow corridor with a police officer and a tired-looking doctor.]
Police officer -_. (in a low voice)
There’s no problem now, sir.
She was just a waitress. No parents… only a younger brother, barely five years old.
No one powerful to back her.
The evidence—well, that’s been taken care of.
[Raghav glances at Kunal, who keeps his eyes ahead, jaw clenched. The doctor nods silently.]
Doctor:
She’s sedated. Won’t be a threat.
Won’t even reach court.
Raghav sinha
[Raghav to the police and doctor:]
Good. Keep it that way.
We’ll handle everything from here.
[Suddenly, a sharp scream echoes through the corridor.]
Voice of the Girl (from a room nearby):
“Please! Please leave me! Please… leave me!!”
(her voice trembling, filled with pain and fear)
[Everyone freezes. The scream pierces through Kunal like a blade.]
[Kunal turns slowly, his face pale. The door to the room is slightly open. He sees her—half-conscious, struggling in panic, gasping for air, her body trembling violently.]
[Kunal's breath catches. His chest tightens. He can’t look anymore.]
Kunal oberoi
(softly, to himself)
What the hell is happening to me…
Just after Kunal walks a few steps away from the room]
Raghav sinha
Raghav notices Kunal’s reaction, walks up to him calmly. Puts a hand on his shoulder to stop him.]
Raghav sinha
(quietly)
That’s her.
Raghav sinha
Her name is Mahima.
Kunal oberoi
[Kunal looks away, struggling to breathe. Guilt is clearly visible on his face.]
Raghav sinha
: (firm, controlled voice)
Don’t worry, Kunal. I’ll handle everything.
This will all go away, just like it never happened.
