That was 'Smile.' My favourite song in the whole world!
Just for you.
Hey, Goa! How are you today?
You're listening to Radio Zindagi.
Well, I have to say, I was a little sad this morning...
because my producer, Jenny went to Miami for her son's wedding.
But there's an upside to it.
And that is, our producer for today is Sofia D'Souza
who's been my nurse for the last 12 years.
Dick... Dick Fernandez?
It was exactly a year ago.
Pamela had left me and I just didn't want to live.
I called your show to dedicate one last song to her
and you convinced me right there, on-air, not to commit suicide
and to go and get that girl.
You change people's lives. You certainly changed mine.
Do you know what happened today?
Pamela has given birth to my little girl...
about 17 minutes ago... She weighs seven pounds, man!
And you're the first person to know.
My next song is for the little angel...
and this incredible journey...
of a beautiful life.
It doesn't matter if it weighs seven odd pounds or a 100 grams.
This bitter-sweet existence
Has left me with...
Barely 100 grams of life That I've held on to
Breathing my heart into every moment
This bitter-sweet existence
Has left me with...
It's time to say goodbye, friends.
So, while you enjoy the rest of this beautiful evening
I'll wait patiently for my friend, Devyani
who is an hour late.
Could I have a cup too? Just one sugar, please.
Sorry, I'm late!
An idiot banged into my car on my way here.
These flowers are for you.
Why did you call me urgently?
I have a small request, Devyani.
I need to file a petition.
A petition to die.
I know you're shocked, Devyani.
It's a simple, straightforward request.
Should I turn this blood circulation table upside down
so that the blood gets to your brain?
You're asking the court to grant you permission to die?
It's called Euthanasia.
Mercy Killing. You must have heard.
And suddenly, you come up with this?
In any case, the courts will not consider this.
-Euthanasia is not allowed in India-- -Do as you're told, Devyani.
You will be paid for it.
Anything else?
Will you get me a pack of condoms
and a beautiful willing woman, please?
I'm sorry, to call you this early, Doc.
I met Ethan last night.
He wants me to file a petition for Euthanasia.
You laugh the loudest at them, don't you?
He has his dialysis later today.
Why don't you come over? We can talk then.
This is my responsibility now. I will handle it. Alright?
You took such a big decision all on your own?
Doc, do you think science will progress enough
in my lifetime, for me to walk again?
Will I ever be able to move my hands?
My kidneys have given up. Do you think you can save my lungs?
It's a "No" for me too.
Look at all you've achieved, Ethan.
You're a source of hope and inspiration to millions.
I've lived the last 14 years with great pride.
But now I do not want to live at the mercy of these machines!
By testifying in court...
saying that you're mentally unstable.
And that you're seeking death from depression.
I'll make sure no court in this world listens to your plea.
They will listen.
They'll have to.
Devyani will make sure of that.
And if you lose, I'm serving a life sentence, anyway.
Are both the parties present?
Your Honor, my client Mr. Ethan Mascarenhas has filed
a petition for Euthanasia.
Ms. Dutta, you're aware that our law does not permit Euthanasia.
You are challenging Article 21 of the Indian Constitution.
Your Honor, we strongly that it is time
for this law to be amended.
Changing a law is not as simple as changing your clothes.
Your Honor, I'm not saying that every appeal
for Euthanasia should be granted.
But each case needs to be evaluated on its individual merit.
As a law-abiding citizen
my client is legally asking for euthanasia.
So, your client believes that death is the solution to all suffering?
Your Honor, in that case my client would've made
this appeal 14 years ago,
immediately after his accident which left him paralyzed.
But he didn't do that.
Ethan Mascarenhas is quite a character.
On one hand, he speaks about leading a happy life on his radio show
and on the other, he pleads for his own death!
This is completely...
-contradictory and hypocritical. -His petition...
is based on medical and humanitarian grounds.
Do you believe in Euthanasia, Ms. Dutta?
In this particular case, yes.
-I was going to tell you, but-- -Sports page.
I know you're upset. You're justified.
After all, I'm just your nurse!
Your soup and your favourite garlic bread-sticks
will reach you in half an hour.
Your lunch will reach you at 1:00 pm, as usual
and at 4:00 pm, I'll check your pulse and blood pressure
and if there is anything else you need before that...
I'm just a whistle away.
I'm talking to you!
And, after this petition, do let me know if you don't need my services.
-Sofia! -12 years of service...
and he doesn't even bother to tell me!
Rosy!
-Maria! -Yes, Ma'am!
Why is the main door open?
There's a stranger in the house
taking pictures and neither of you have any idea!
Actually, Ma'am, I'm here to meet Mr. Mascarenhas.
Obviously, you couldn't be here to meet James Bond!
I'm Omar Siddiqui, the new producer of his radio show.
The radio station has sent me to help Mr. Mascarenhas.
What we really need is a caretaker.
Someone to do the dishes, to wash clothes and such?
And you know, I'm Mr. Mascarenhas' biggest fan.
I'd do anything for him!
Sofia!
-Sofia! -Stay right here until I call for you.
Sofia!
Where have you been?
The Radio Station has sent a new producer. Shall I call him in?
Forget the damn producer! What about my bedsores?
You forgot to turn me over, Sofia.
What are you staring at?
What?
-Nothing important, Sir-- -What's on your mind?
I was thinking, how would you scratch your nose if it tickled?
You may leave now.
Sir, I'm here to speak to you about...
I keep telling you to wear better clothes
but you just never listen to me.
The idiot's words have left me with an itch.
I have to go.
Renowned Radio Jockey
and the biggest magician of his time, Ethan Mascarenhas
has filed a petition for Euthanasia in the Goa High Court.
This has shocked everyone.
14 years ago, during one of his magic shows
he met with an accident.
Following numerous surgeries and therapies
he managed to hold onto his life
but serious injuries to his spinal cord meant that he would never walk again.
This was Ethan addressing quadriplegics at the launch of his book
Learning to Fly, a few years ago...
Never lose your spirit or believe that your life is over.
We are special. Our world is beautiful...
and we'll lead this life with dignity.
It appears that this man,
who has been a role model to so many people, is not a hero.
In fact, he is nothing
but a hypocrite running away from his problems.
Who is the real Ethan Mascarenhas?
The man who inspires quadriplegics to live a life of dignity
or the man who has given up on life today?
Switch off the television.
Is he making a spectacle of his own death?
Ethan's petition...
Put the tray down.
Please have a little soup.
Put it down, Sofia. I'm not hungry.
Go over to that table.
Pick up the vase.
It's a simple task. Throw down the vase.
I can't do that.
You can do it, Sofia.
I can't.
I really need to vent my anger.
If you don't do as I say, I'll walk right up to you
drag you to the front door, throw you out of this house and this job.
Losing your temper isn't going to help.
You have the right to be angry.
The world has the right to call me names
but I have no rights, whatsoever!
I don't need an injection. I'm okay now.
You can't do this against my will. It is a crime--
I understand. You need to sleep now.
The one thing I have left is my mind.
Don't sedate me.
I'm just following Dr. Nayak's instructions.
This will help you sleep better.
I wonder whose dreams are these
That the night has tucked
Under my pillow
And yet, I can't find
The sweet release of sleep
Someone's asleep...
Even while awake
Someone's there
Even while no one's there
Someone's asleep
Even while awake
Someone's there
Even while no one's there
I think of someone
And the night stands still
And yet, I can't find
The sweet release of sleep
I wonder whose dreams are these
That the night has tucked
Under my pillow
You deserve a hearty breakfast.
Who knows what they'll feed you in prison.
Please don't say anything to Mr. Mascarenhas.
I most certainly will.
First, I'll inform Mr. Mascarenhas. Then the radio station.
But my first call will be to the police.
Please, Ma'am...
If you tell on me, I swear, I will kill myself.
You weren't sent by the radio station.
You are here to learn magic.
I'm sorry, Sir. I didn't have a choice.
I'm not leaving until you agree to teach me.
This is getting out of hand. We must call the police.
Call them right now, Sofia.
The year you were knighted Merlin, the King of Magicians!
A five year old ran behind your car that night, chasing you for an autograph.
I waited all these years, trying to make myself worthy of you.
I'm ready now.
Do you have a girlfriend?
Not yet. I'd like to fall in love someday.
Presume I agree to teach you magic
Thank you, Sir.
And some day this girlfriend of yours asks you...
to choose between her and magic.
What would you choose?
I would give it up.
The girl? Or magic?
I'd give up magic.
You're giving away all your secrets to a perfect stranger?
Magic is all I have, Sofia.
I don't want my secrets to die with me.
I'd like to leave my magic behind for the world.
Stop talking now.
I'm trying to picture your sexy legs.
He mocks you, I hope you can see that.
At least he's honest.
I, Omar Siddiqui, pledge...
never to reveal, under any circumstances
these secrets of magic.
All my secrets are in this book.
From my first act to my last.
They are yours now.
Where do I look for a candle now?
The Candle Act!
With methods, instructions, everything!
Can you believe I have all his secrets now?
Now, I'm going to be the greatest magician in the world.
There's just one problem.
He has a over-possessive nurse.
I'm leaving for the day. Look after Mr. Mascarenhas.
Of course, Ma'am. Don't worry.
Just checking if you needed anything.
Fix these cushions.
I've never done this before, so I am not sure.
Once the power is back, I want to watch some Fashion TV.
Sofia!
Hold on, Sir.
Sofia!
I'm really sorry. I was fixing the cushions. I totally lost control.
I'm very sorry, Ma'am. I promise this will never happen again.
I was on the ground and I still couldn't see anything.
Your skirts are like tents!
The day you come to work in a short skirt,
I swear I'll start walking again.
How about tomorrow?
-How are you, Sofia? -All good.
Great! I just came back from the gym.
Never stopped.
You can re-appeal whenever you want.
Today?
It's a few hours too late for today.
How about tomorrow?
No, Ethan. It's not all that simple.
You're aware that our law doesn't permit Euthanasia.
But our appeal can set a precedent.
Try to make your listeners understand.
Rally enough support to force the judiciary to listen to your plea.
"Project Ethanasia."
Goodbye, Sofia.
Ethan would like another cup of coffee.
I was thinking...
instead of sugar, I should add a few drops of cyanide to his coffee.
It would make things easier.
We have a couple of other options too.
We can drown him the sea nearby.
Or push him off the lighthouse. Or perhaps use his revolver...
and shoot him dead.
The court has dismissed his plea. He had made his peace with it.
Why can't you just let things go?
You think I'm happy doing this?
Ethan is my best friend.
You have no idea how much it hurts me
to even think about his death.
You know, I've known Ethan since his days of glory. Not you.
His fame spread far and wide. He had the world at his feet.
-You don't care for him. -Please understand--
No, you need to understand.
From the day I stepped into this house,
every moment has been an attempt to ease his suffering
and to lend dignity to his life.
I forgot all about my family or having children.
Took all the abuse from my husband.
So I could do everything to keep this man alive.
This is my life.
But we are not talking about your life.
This is about Ethan and his life.
You've done a lot for Ethan
and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I really do.
But the fact is he has spent the last 14 years of his life...
imprisoned in his own room, chained to his own bed.
He can feel nothing. Sense nothing!
Oh, for God's sake he doesn't even know when he's passing urine or stool
or that you've cleaned him up!
This will never change.
We know it very well.
What are you doing, Omar?
I thought I'd take some soup for Mr. Mascarenhas.
That's my job, not yours.
I heard that you haven't taken a single day off in the last 12 years.
Rosy and Maria say that you've come even on Sundays and holidays.
Anyway, I think you need to take at least half a day off.
And please don't think this is my way of saying sorry to you. It isn't.
I'll take care of him.
Just go and have some fun with your family.
You don't need to feel guilty about taking some time off.
Sir, that's enough.
Sir, Sofia prepared this soup with lots of love.
Or Rosy and Maria will tell on me and Sofia will kill me.
Sofia! Sofia! Sofia!
Marble on the outside, pure granite inside.
Sir, I think she's in love with you.
I mean, she loves us...
Pour me another.
Sure, I'll do that.
Sir, tell me about your first magic trick.
I'll pour the drink in a moment. But I really want to know
about your first magic trick.
I was seven years old.
It was Christmas eve. And of course, Mama and I knew...
that Santa wasn't coming home that year either.
How could he?
We had no money for gifts or a dad to buy them.
These are special homes...
that Santa usually skips.
Mama decided to sing at Martin's Bar that night.
I didn't know what that meant but I was just so proud.
Ethan. Ethan!
Give this to the man sitting on that table. Go on.
Coming.
This song is giving me a headache!
Stop this boring stuff! Give us something hot!
Mama!
The smile on my mother's face.
This used to be my most popular act. No one knows the secret to it.
Go ahead. Bring your hands together.
You can do it.
This is impossible, Sir.
I don't think I can do this.
Use your anger.
Hey, Goa. How's it going?
The topic for today's show is my petition for Mercy Killing.
Euthanasia.
Or "Ethanasia," as I like to call it.
I'd like to hear from you, so call in with your opinions.
Tell me whether I'm justified in what I'm asking for.
Wow!
I am sorry I had to call you because it's not easy to say this in person.
I don't think this is right.
I can imagine what you must be going through.
And I am not saying this
just so I can continue to learn magic from you.
Sir, for me you are...
An unexpected beginning to the show!
Hi, this is John.
And I have Rafat, Javed and Gomes with me.
You know, we are quadriplegics like you.
We even have a name for our gang.
"The Super Duper Quads!"
You're a fabulous guy and we love you a lot.
We would like to make you an offer.
Please don't say no.
Will you be the chairman of our the Super Duper Quads club?
But I've been sitting on a chair for too long.
I am so glad you understand that this is about me,
my life and what I want.
This is not about all quadriplegics.
Ethan, we understand what you are going through.
And we completely understand why you want to do this.
Go ahead, Sister.
Sister Julia seems to have been transported straight to the Vatican.
Without a ticket, at that.
She votes 'yes' for life and 'no' for Project Ethanasia.
Your book, Learning to Fly is a part of a syllabus
in our school for special children.
My friends and I are your biggest fans!
In my opinion, you're suffering from depression.
Instead of hiding behind Project Ethanasia
why don't you meet us for some counseling?
I pity irresponsible people like you
who instigate innocent minds and mislead people.
You're nothing but a coward!
I am warning you. Put an end to this ridiculous Project Ethanasia.
-Or else-- -Or else, what?
Why do you need to ask for votes everyday?
As we come to the end of Project Ethanasia
I will take one last call.
Yes, Ethan. You haven't forgotten!
Do not ask your assistant to hang up.
Looks like you can still read minds.
You were a very good teacher.
Well, listeners, many, many years ago...
Estella used to be my assistant.
I would throw knives at her...
I'd make her disappear.
I would hypnotize her, set her flying through the air.
At times, I'd cut her into a million pieces
and then put her back together.
I'd like to tell your listeners
that one time you had slashed me into two.
I'm talking about the day...
following your accident.
You'd asked me to get out of your life and never to return.
I did that...
because I understood.
You asked me to marry Mark and I did that.
I knew you just wanted me to be happy.
You made me promise that we'd never meet again.
This show is about Project Ethanasia, not us.
I know what your answer is going to be, but...
since you have called in...
what is your vote?
Yes or no?
Yes or no, Estella?
For understanding me.
I'd like to dedicate the next song...
to our love that was.
Is the mention of your name Like some ethereal perfume?
Every time I utter it, I feel
Fragrant
Intoxicated
Alive
Is the mention of your name
Like some ethereal perfume?
Every time I utter it, I feel
Fragrant
Intoxicated
Alive
I go up in flames And the scent of you makes me
Fragrant
Intoxicated
Alive
Is the mention of your name
Like some ethereal perfume?
Every time I utter it, I feel
Fragrant
Intoxicated
Alive
Who gives us the right to decide
what Ethan should do with his life?
The Judge will have to listen to us.
But this time, I won't go to the court alone.
I want Ethan to come along with me.
You haven't stepped out of this house in all these years, Ethan.
You can't say no.
A bit nervous, but very handsome.
Okay, one last step.
Am I already in heaven?
Forgive me for coming here uninvited, Ethan.
Project Ethanasia.
You've traveled all the way to cast your vote, Father?
You can't decide on it through a radio poll.
Via SMS, then?
Life is God's gift to us and we have no right to play with it.
And he has the right to play with it
however he pleases?
Ethan, our religion does not permit Euthanasia.
That's why I'm appealing to the Court and not the Church.
God urges us to fight our battles.
How does one fight without hands and feet?
Some fights can be fought with faith too.
Trust Him.
And I have all my faith in the Lord, Father.
Are you joining us, Father?
Ethan, what you are about to do is a sin.
Well then, may the Lord forgive you, Father
because you have lent your hand in this sin.
Go, John!
-Here! -Here!
This bitter-sweet existence...
Has left me with...
Barely 100 grams of life That I've held on to
Breathing my heart Into every moment
Mr. Mascarenhas, are you nervous?
I think it's the Judge who should be nervous!
Judge Rajhans is known to be a tough man.
Do you find yourself alone in your fight?
Not at all. I have my warriors here alongside.
Your Honor, a lot has been written and spoken about this case.
But in my opinion, it would be best
if Mr. Mascarenhas spoke about it himself.
He is in court to present the case.
I'd like to add here that he hasn't stepped out of his home
in the last 12 years.
Your Honor, before we proceed with the hearing
I request you to listen to Mr. Mascarenhas.
All this emotional drama is entirely unnecessary, Your Honor.
This is a special case, Your Honor and it requires great preparation.
I need more time.
The court will inform you of the next date.
I maybe speaking out of turn, Your Honor but why can't this Hearing happen today?
The Prosecutor might need more time to prepare
but Mr. Mascarenhas doesn't.
The least this Court can do is listen to him.
I think everyone present here should rise
in protest against the injustice to Mr. Mascarenhas.
He has suffered through 14 long years, Your Honor.
Does the Court not have two minutes to listen to him?
If you don't stop immediately
this Court will immediately dismiss Mr. Mascarenhas' appeal.
Please take your seat.
Mr. Mascarenhas
I can understand this trek must not have been easy for you.
Considering the special circumstances of this case
this Court will exercise its discretionary powers.
The next hearing will be held at your house.
Will you join us for lunch as well, Your Honor?
Why are we here, Sofia?
It's not been an easy day for any of us,
but I've decided we're not going to be sorry about it.
No regrets!
It's been years since you've stepped out,
so an evening of entertainment would be a good idea.
I can't say for myself but she seems to be highly amused.
I rehearsed my speech all night
but the Judge didn't even let me speak.
That's entertainment!
Sofia-style!
The day seems incomplete without these barbs!
Am I living or Breathless in heaven?
I can't tell anymore
I walk among the clouds
I race ahead of the world
Is this for real?
I walk among the clouds
I race ahead of the world
Is this for real?
I have woken up I started dreaming again
I wonder where I am heading now
I have woken up I started dreaming again
I wonder where I am heading now
I walk among the clouds
I race ahead of the world
Is this for real?
Sofia!
I am touching the sky
I have stars in my feet
I am touching the sky
I have stars in my feet
I am living a lifetime In every moment
I have left the past behind
I have woken up I started dreaming again
I wonder where I am heading now
I have woken up I started dreaming again
I wonder where I am heading now
I walk among the clouds
I race ahead of the world
Is this for real?
I have woken up I started dreaming again
I wonder where I am heading now
I have woken up I started dreaming again
I wonder where I am heading now
I have woken up I started dreaming again
I wonder where I am heading now
How are you?
I just wanted to see you.
I'm so glad you're here.
I had been wanting to see you.
I was going to call you--
And you don't want me to hover around either.
But you're my magician.
Then pray for me...
that I lift my arms and give you a hug.
We are all aware that this is no ordinary case.
Therefore, it's one of those rare circumstances
where a trial is being held at the plaintiff's residence.
Your Honor, my client Mr. Ethan Mascarenhas
in all awareness has filed a petition for Euthanasia.
A suffering that's beyond human comprehension.
Dr. Nayak, what is your prognosis about
Mr. Mascarenhas' physical condition?
In the last six months, his liver functions have deteriorated rapidly
his heart has developed arrhythmia
he needs regular dialysis.
And at this rate...
he'll soon need a ventilator to help him breathe.
Are there any chances of improvement?
We have tried everything.
Can you say with utter certainty that...
Ethan Mascarenhas will never get better?
No one can vouch for something like that.
There are miracles beyond medical science.
But that's probably one case in a million.
And you think Mr. Mascarenhas can't be that one?
As a doctor, do you agree with his decision?
Of course, not.
My profession urges me to save lives.
And I believe that this is Ethan's personal decision.
Do you also believe
that he's the only person in the world suffering in this condition?
No, he isn't.
Then shouldn't all of those people file for Euthanasia as well?
We aren't saying that every quadriplegic should file for Mercy Killing.
Each such individual has different needs,
different levels of endurance.
Mr. Mascarenhas is not the first person
to file a petition for Euthanasia.
Here's a father who has appealed for Euthanasia, for his son.
Thousands of cases are pending in our courts, waiting to be heard.
But our judiciary doesn't address them
because we fear any ruling on such a petition might be misused.
-Omar, have you been living here for long? -Yes.
-You've been learning magic? -Yes.
What kind of a person would you say Mr. Mascarenhas is?
An absolute genius!
Geniuses can often be a little eccentric, don't you think?
They act very weird.
-He's a great teacher. -Does he have a sense of humor?
-Oh, yes! -He does!
Absolutely! And when I make some mistakes
he reprimands me in his own unique way!
-Does he lose his temper? -Yes.
And what does he do when he gets angry?
-Sometimes he asks us to break plates! -I see!
Yeah! And this one time
instead of a rose, I pulled out a rabbit from the kerchief.
As punishment he made me rehearse all night, out in the rain.
It is fun learning from him!
-All night long? -Yes.
-Outside the house, in the rain? -Yes.
Mr. Ethan Mascarenhas doesn't seem to be of sound mind.
According to Mr. Siddiqui--
As I was saying
this man certainly doesn't seem of sound mind.
Getting people to break plates,
punishing a student by making him stand in the rain all night
creating a Project Ethanasia on the radio for people to vote...
for his death.
These are the deluded rantings of a crazy man.
Is the Public Prosecutor seriously alleging that
an issue as serious as Euthanasia
that our legal system is addressing here, is a waste of time?
-That's right. -Objection sustained.
Mrs. D'Souza would you please explain your
relationship with Mr. Mascarenhas?
I've been his nurse for the last 12 years.
I must say, you're rather beautiful for a nurse!
Objection, Your Honor! What's the relevance of this question?
I'm getting at it, Your Honor.
When did Mr. Mascarenhas tell you about this petition?
I learnt about it from the newspaper.
Do you agree with his petition?
I'm am his nurse
and it is my duty to ease his pain as much as I can.
I feel his suffering.
You'd want to help him end his suffering, then?
And benefit from it in the bargain?
-What do you mean? -Why would a woman
as beautiful as Mrs. Sofia D'Souza
readily put her life on hold to serve a man like him?
Why would she willingly forsake her family
walk out of her house
even file for divorce, without an ulterior motive?
Why would she do that for a patient she's been nursing for 12 years?
The truth is that she's tired of nursing him.
She wants to get rid of him
so that she can make the most of his wealth.
She is aware that often wealthy men like Mr. Mascarenhas
leave all their riches to their nurses and caretakers.
You'll see the mortgaged house...
the loans amounting to millions...
and a bank account...
that doesn't have enough funds to cover
Sofia's salary for two months.
If I were to name one person
who has a right over Mr. Mascarenhas' life...
more than Ethan himself, then that would be Sofia.
Your son is a tremendous achiever, as everyone is aware.
You must love him a lot.
Why is it that you don't live with him?
Ethan has asked me not to stay with him.
He doesn't want me to see him in this condition.
Do you agree with his decision on Euthanasia?
I am his mother.
But I believe my son has a right over his life.
After all, whose life is it? Mine, because I gave birth to him?
Dr. Nayak's, because he saved it?
Sofia's, because she nurtures it?
Devyani's, because she's fighting it?
Or yours, Mr. Prosecutor, because you question it?
Or yours, Your Honor, because you hold its future in your hands?
This is Ethan's life and Ethan's alone.
What if your son asks for your assistance?
Would a mother help her son in achieving his end?
Yes.
Having heard the testimonies of everyone present...
Mr. Mascarenhas, is there anything you'd like to say?
I'd like to perform a magic trick for you.
Omar.
Yes?
-Will you oblige? -What do you mean?
You'll need to get into this box here.
Sixty seconds, Mr. Prosecutor...
and you'll be part of a new, magical world.
Seems like it's going to rain, Your Honor.
Rain?
It's bright and sunny outside.
Your Honor...
I can't breathe.
At times, my roof leaks when it rains.
Please get the Prosecutor out of the box!
Get me out!
Omar.
What kind of a joke is this?
Do you know how suffocating it is inside? You can't even move!
Those were the sixty seconds of Ethan Mascarenhas' life.
And you couldn't handle it.
Didn't I say that it would rain, Your Honor?
It will not stop raining
till you rule in my favour.
The whole army's here.
I have a soldier too. I'll show you.
Omar!
One soldier down!
Mama!
All I ask of you
Is this
In this cascading rain
Look here, in this cascading rain
Let me die in your arms
All I ask is this, A small, a tiny little
Wish of mine
You were right.
Did you spend the entire night like this?
Why didn't you call for anyone?
Where was Omar?
Sofia. Sofia...
Omar!
Where were you?
I was sound asleep!
Didn't I tell you to check on him in the night?
You are a part of the family, Omar. We depend on you.
It's always my fault.
-Bring some fresh clothes for him. -Yes, ma'am.
Go and wake up Mama.
I'm really hungry. Let's all have breakfast together.
I guess this is how Chinese torture feels like!
Sofia!
What is it?
She's no more.
I remember Isabel as a happy soul.
Nothing made her happier than bringing a smile on someone's face.
One time, she came up to me after Mass and said--
And I'm Ethan Mascarenhas saying...
life's very short.
I was very sad to hear about Mama.
I know she was your pillar of strength, your inspiration.
I hope you'll live your life in the same spirit that she did.
Yasser?
-You haven't forgotten? -How could I?
He used to be my friend...
and the most famous magician in the world.
We both know there was only one name that was truly the greatest.
Yours. Merlin.
You never acknowledged it back then.
There's nothing to forgive, Yasser.
You are dead.
What do you think?
Come on, it's not that bad!
Your first-ever magic show is in 15 days!
-Are your bags packed? -Yes, Sir.
Mine too.
There's something I want to tell you, Sir.
-I'm leaving now but-- -I'll always be around.
-I'll always remember-- -Our time together.
No, Sir.
I have a confession to make.
-I am-- -Yasser Siddiqui's son.
You knew?
And you still taught me?
For all the smiles that you've given me
I have a gift for you.
What are you doing here?
There's a restraining order forbidding you from meeting me!
Leave!
What anniversary are you talking about when our marriage is over?
Get lost from here!
You want to throw me out while you stay in another man's bedroom!
What's going on? Who is it?
I'm Sofia's husband, but she has forgotten me.
Let me have a good look at him.
He can't even shake hands...
and this is the vegetable you want to leave me for?
Better a vegetable than a man like you.
Don't touch him!
You care more for this man than for your own husband?
-Husband? -Sofia!
You mean a stranger who doesn't return home for years?
-Listen, I'm an artist -Don't do that!
Right! And all you care about are your paintings!
People just don't matter to you!
-Let's just get out of here. Please! -I'm your husband.
Don't touch her!
-Or else-- -Or else, what? What will you do?
-Sofia! -Stare at me?
Don't hit her. Please.
Look at her one last time because she's never coming back.
I'll send you a painting of hers.
Sofia!
Let me at least give him his medicine!
Ethan, your reports are not looking good.
I'll have to shift you to a hospital.
I know you'll not agree with me but I've decided.
There's no one here to look after you.
You don't take your medicines or eat on time.
You don't listen to anyone.
And look at this place, its falling apart.
And I won't let you stay here.
I spoke to Sofia this morning.
She was asking about you.
She'll take some time but...
she'll be back.
Stop worrying about her, Ethan.
She's a fighter, she can take care of herself.
Meanwhile, I've asked the hospital...
to arrange for another nurse...
until Sofia is back.
We bring to you breaking news live from Goa.
The Goa High Court will rule on Ethan Mascarenhas'
appeal for Mercy Killing, today.
The judgment could prove to be a milestone in India'sjudicial history.
Let's go to our special correspondent, Radhika Talwar
who's at the Goa High Court.
Radhika, what does it look like?
It's a tough call, Saroj.
Everyone expects Judge Rajhans to write a piece of history today.
We'll soon know if he'll lead the legal system into a new direction.
You can see, the corridors are practically empty.
Because, everyone is assembled in the court room
for what we hope will be a historic judgment.
Having listened to all the defenses and testimonies supporting this case
and examining all its complexities...
this Court has reached a decision.
Ethan Mascarenhas' appeal for Euthanasia is unacceptable.
On a humanitarian level the Judiciary understands Mr. Mascarenhas'
suffering and the justification of his plea.
However, this Court cannot be party
to any individual's attempt to take his own life.
We've just learnt that Ethan Mascarenhas has lost his case.
His historical appeal for Mercy Killing has been denied.
He has been condemned to life. Against his own wishes.
The sky has blurred the evening light
It's time to come back home, My love
Even birds that fly all over the sky
Return to their nests At this time
Even birds that fly all over the sky
Return to their nests At this time
The sky has blurred The evening light
You must've heard the news on television
and rushed back to duty.
You look so happy!
It is because I lost my case,right?
No, because I won mine.
My divorce is final.
Mr. Mascarenhas...
I can help you fulfill your wish.
Euthanasia.
I've given it a lot of thought.
Your happiness means everything to me.
You could be jailed for two years, maybe ten.
I don't care even if I am sentenced for forty years!
It's nothing compared to the life imprisonment you're serving.
Do you really love me that much?
Sofia...
Before I am gone, I want to fulfill your wish, too.
You won't get this chance again. Please say yes.
-Say yes, Sofia. -Mr. Mascarenhas!
Ethan!
Mrs. Mascarenhas!
Ethan.
I haven't seen Ethan this happy in years.
Thank you all for coming here at such short notice.
My family and...
my dearest friends.
Everyone celebrates birthdays
but celebrating your very last day on earth...
that's what I call a party!
What more could I ask for?
My last supper...
with this bunch of jokers.
Every time she visits me
she comes over with one desperate wish in her heart.
That she gets to sleep with me!
Whenever you've come over to meet me
have you ever sat on a chair?
She'd have an excuse to share something important
and slip into the bed with me.
Devyani...
I can say this with utter conviction...
that you are the worst lawyer in the country.
But the most amazing friend
in the whole world.
The very best!
As the years passed, I've seen his hair change color
from jet black to silver Grey
to snow white.
I won't be able to see you go bald!
I know you don't agree with me...
but thank you for coming here today...
and for celebrating with us.
-Omar Siddiqui! -Sir.
But in a few hours...
you'll be the best magician in the world.
Tonight
I'd like to bestow my title upon you.
Two such caretakers who themselves need care-taking!
In the last 14 years, I swear...
they haven't done a single thing right.
But for the last 14 years, without fail,
they'd light a candle at the altar, everyday...
praying to God that I get better.
Looks like God decided not to listen to them.
Yet, everyone has one question on their mind.
Why do I have to go if I'm so happy?
Well, I'm happy because...
yesterday was the last day of my suffering.
Lastly, for the only other thing of value that I possess...
my name.
I've handed it over to Sofia.
Sofia.
Sofia's wedding is as strange as she is.
The bride isn't wearing white or a veil.
There are no rituals or rings,
the priest or the church, neither the bridesmaids nor a best man.
It may be only for a few hours but we are...
man...
and wife.
And tomorrow...
Sofia is going to perform her first and the last duty as my wife.
But I won't thank you, Sofia.
For all that you've done for me...
and for what you're willing to do for me...
a "thank you" is just not enough.
For the first time, without a tray
or a newspaper or medicines in your hands.
It's not an easy walk.
Take these twelve steps...
for those twelve beautiful years.
My love, my dearest love
I'd kept it safe all these years, Dear heart
But I bid goodbye to you now
Goodbye and have a good life.
Life is very short, my friends
but it's long enough if you live with all your heart.
