VARUN
11:47.
Isi waqt Arjun Malhotra kahan tha?
HASSAN (fidgeting)
Sir, mujhe kya pata. Main toh...
KARAN (calmly)
Inspector, agar aapne humein yahan bulaya hai,
toh reason hoga. Missing man ka naam hai,
drama ka nahi.
VARUN
Drama tum dono kar rahe ho.
Main bas interval de raha hoon.
HASSAN
Jhooth bol raha hai.
KARAN
Main? Tumhari hands dekh ke lag raha hai
tum khud kisi cheez se kaanp rahe ho.
VARUN
Kuch aisa, jisme jhooth ka volume zyada hai.
ARJUN (V.O.): Agar tum yeh sun rahe ho, toh matlab
tum teenon room mein ho.
ARJUN (V.O.): Karan, tumne paisa siphon kiya.
Hassan, tumne galat aadmi ko dekha.
Aur Varun...
Tum decide karoge kaun jhooth bol raha hai.
VARUN
Hassan, yeh tumhara hai.
Barber oil. Cheap brand.
Tumhari shop ka.
VARUN
“Karan will confess at 11:47.
Hassan will hear it.
Varun will decide who is lying.”
KARAN (cold)
Inspector, yeh note fake hai.
VARUN
If Karan confesses, let Hassan hear it.
If Hassan lies, let Karan panic.
If Varun is smart, he’ll realize
the missing man never entered the room.
VARUN
Missing case close nahi hua.
Ab confession ka case khulega.
