"Your first magic trick was The Raining Coins?" "The smile on my mother's face.." ".. that was my first magic trick!" "This used to be my most popular act." "No one knows the secret to it." "Concentrate, Omar." "Go ahead." "Bring your hands together.." "You can do it." "Make it up." "This is impossible, I'm just no good." "I don't think I can do this." "Use your anger."

"But I hope you understand that I'm talking just about me.." ".. my life and what I want." "This is not about all quadriplegics.." "This is my personal choice." "Ethan.." "We understand what you are going through." "We also understand why you want to do this." "Then what's your vote, guys?" "No, Ethan." " We don't agree." "Hey, Ethan." "This is Sister Julia." "There's something I have to tell you." "Go ahead, Sister." "God's love is so wonderful, so wonderful.." "..God's love is so wonderful.." "..for you and for me.."

"In my opinion, you're suffering from depression." "Instead of hiding behind this Project Ethanasia.." ".. why don't you meet us for some counseling?" "I just pity irresponsible people like you.." ".. who instigate innocent minds and mislead people." "You're nothing but a coward!" "I warn you put an end to this ridiculous Project Ethanasia." "Or else.." "Or else, what?" "How can you people just.. ?" "You.." "You don't even.." "Thanks for your vote!" "Enough of this Project Ethanasia." "Why do you need to ask for votes everyday?"

"You've travelled all the way to cast your vote, Father?" "You can't do this, Ethan. lt's a serious matter." "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 can play with us.." ".. however he pleases?" "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." "He will show you the right way." "For now, the right way for me is through that door, Father." "Give me a hand, will you?" "Of course!" " And I have all the faith in the Lord, Father." "That's why I am dying to meet him." "Ok, Father." "One." "Two." "Three." "Are you joining us too, Father?" "What you are about to do is a sin." "In that case, may the Lord forgive you, Father.."

"Nervous?" "I think it's the Judge who should be nervous!" "Judge Rajhans is known to be a tough man." "He is a difficult man." "Maybe he needs to hear my story." "Do you find yourself alone in your fight?" "Not at all." "I have my warriors here alongside." "All right then." "Break a leg, Sir.." "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 today to present the case." "I'd like to add here that.." ".. he hasn't stepped out of his home in the last 1 2 years." "Your Honor, before we proceed with the hearing.." "I request you to listen to Mr. Mascarenhas." "He needs to be heard, Your Honor.." ".. so we understand exactly how he feels." "I object, Your Honor." "Mr. Mascarenhas is already represented by Counsel." "There is no need for him to speak." " But what's the harm if.." "..he does, Your Honor?" " All this emotional drama is.." "..entirely unnecessary, Your Honor." " That is.." "This is a special case, Your Honor and it requires great preparation."

"Thank you, Your Honor." "I am sorry to be 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." "Please sit down, Ma'am." "I'm sorry, Your Honor, but I can't do that." "I think everyone present here should rise.." "..in protest against the injustice to Mr. Mascarenhas." "He has suffered through 1 4 long years, Your Honor.." "Does the Court not have two minutes to listen to him?" "Does he need to wait another 1 4 years to be heard?" "If you don't stop this right away.." ".. this Court will immediately dismiss Mr. Mascarenhas' appeal." "This is a contempt of court."

"Therefore, it's one of those rare circumstances.." ".. where a trial is being held at the plaintiff's residence." "I request everyone present.." ".. to maintain the decorum of the court."

"We'd like to state that no individual would willingly request death.." ".. unless they have reached a stage of suffering.." ".. that's beyond human comprehension." "I'd like to begin my case with Dr. Nayak's testimony." "Dr. Nayak.. what is your prognosis about.." "..Mr. Mascarenhas' physical condition?" "It isn't very good." "In the last six months, his liver functions have deteriorated.." ".. his heart has developed arrhythmia.." "..he needs regular dialysis." "And the way his health is going.." ".. he'll probably soon need a ventilator to help him breathe." "Are there any chances of improvement?" "We have tried everything." "Surgery, medication.. physiotherapy." "This is as normal as he can be." "Do 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 like him should also file for Euthanasia?" "No, Mr. Prosecutor." "We aren't saying that every quadriplegic should file.." "..for Mercy Killing." "Each such individual has different needs, different levels of endurance." "Your Honor, it seems like my colleague.." "..hasn't bothered with any research." "Mr. Mascarenhas is not the first person.." "..to file a petition for Euthanasia." "Look at these files, please." "Here's a father who has appealed for Euthanasia, for his son." "A wife for her husband." "There are relatives, son, daughters.." "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." "And it's people like Mr. Mascarenhas who pay a price for it." "Silence!" "Mr. Prosecutor, you may call your next witness." "Omar.." "Have you been living here for long?" "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!" "And when I make some mistakes.." ".. he reprimands me in his own unique way!" "Does he lose his temper?" "And what does he do when he gets angry?" "Sometimes he asks us to break plates!" "I see!" "Yeah!" "And this one time.." "when I was supposed.." "..to pull out a rose but a rabbit popped out instead.." "We were practising and I totally messed up." "As punishment he made me rehearse through the night out in the rain." "It is fun learning from him!" "Through the night?" "Outside the house, in the rain?" "It was entirely my fault." "Thank you, Mr. Siddiqui." "Please note, Your Honor." "Mr. Ethan Mascarenhas doesn't seem to be of sound mind or faculties.." ".. according to Mr. Siddiqui!" "That isn't what I said!" "You're finished, Mr. Siddiqui." "I object to this entire line of questioning, Your Honor." "Objection overruled." "Mr. Siddique!" "That's all." "Please proceed." "Thank you, Your Honor." "Like I was saying.." "this man here 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." "I think we.." "..are all merely wasting our time indulging him." "Wasting our time?" "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." "Tread lightly, Mr. Prosecutor." "Your next witness." "Mrs. D'Souza would you please explain your.." "..relationship with Mr. Mascarenhas?" "I've been his Nurse for the last 1 2 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 a Nurse.." "..and it is my duty to ease his pain as much as I can." "I feel his suffering." "A lot of 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 1 2 years?" "The truth is that she's tired of nursing him." "She wants to get rid of him.." ".. so that she can enjoy the leisures of his wealth." "She is aware that often wealthy men like Mr. Mascarenhas.." ".. leave all their riches to their Nurses and Caretakers." "Isn't that the truth, Counsel?" "Your Honor." "These are Mr. Mascarenhas' financial papers." "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." "And I'd like to add something more, Your Honor." "If I were to name one person who has.." "..a right over Mr. Mascarenhas' life.." ".. even more than Ethan himself, it would be Sofia." "She's more than a Nurse to him." "More than a friend.." ".. more than a lover.." ".. even more than a wife." "And that is the truth, Your Honor." "Your son is a tremendous achiever, as everyone is aware." "You must be terribly proud of him." "I am." "You must love him a lot." "Of course." "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 and I respect his wishes." "Do you agree with his decision on Euthanasia?" "I am his mother." "I gave birth to him." "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?" "Yours, Mr. Prosecuter - because you question it?" "Or yours, Your Honor - because you hold it's future in your hands?" "This is Ethan's life and Ethan's alone." "Please give him the dignity guaranteed under our Constitution." "What if your son asks for your assistance in this wish of his.. ?" "Would a mother help her son in achieving his end?" "Yes." "I will." "I want his pain to stop." "I want his suffering to end." "I want his pain to stop." "I love you, my son." "No more questions." "Having heard the testimonies of everyone present.." "Mr. Mascarenhas, is there anything you'd like to say?" "If you'll allow me, Your Honor.." ".. I'd like to perform a magic trick for you." "Very well." "Omar." "I need a volunteer." "Mr. Prosecutor?" "Yes?" "Will you oblige?" " What do you mean?" "You'll need to get into this box here." "Sixty seconds, that's all.." ".. and you'll be part of a magical new world." "Trust me." "You won't regret it." "Okay." "Sixty seconds, Mr. Prosecutor." "Seems like it's going to rain, Your Honor." "I hope you're carrying an umbrella." "Rain?" "It's bright and sunny outside." "Let's get to the point, Mr. Mascarenhas." "I just love Goa in the rains." "Your Honor." "I can't breathe." "At times, my roof leaks when it rains." "Mr. Mascarenhas, what is going on?" "So I have the rain falling outside and inside!" "It's really quite funny." "is this your idea of magic?" "Please get the Prosecutor out of the box!" "Timing, Your Honor." "Timing is everything in magic." " Get me out." "We're almost there." " Mr. Mascarenhas!" "Let him out." "Or I'll have you held for contempt of court." "Almost there." "Mr. Mascarenhas!" "Omar." "is this your idea of a joke?" "Do you think this is funny?" "Do you know how suffocating it is inside?" "You can't even move!" "Sixty seconds." "That was sixty seconds of Ethan Mascarenhas' life." "And you couldn't handle it." "Sixty seconds Mr. Prosecutor." "That's all, Your Honor." "Didn't I say that it would rain, Your Honor." "It will not stop raining.." ".. till you rule in my favour." "Goddamn it!" "That's cool." "Bulls eye!" "Okay." "You want to play?" "All right, come on, just you and me." "The whole army's here." "I have a soldier too. I'll show you." "Omar!" "Omar!" "One soldier down!" "But I still got my trump card." "My Mama!" "Mama!" "Mama, can you hear me?" "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.." "Good morning, Mr. Mascarenhas." "You were right. lt did rain.." "Oh God!" "Are you all right?" "O God!" "Mr. Mascarenhas.." "Did you spend the entire night like this?" "Why didn't you call for anyone?" "Where was Omar?" "Sofia." "Sofia." "Omar!" "Omar!" "Where are you?" "Rosy!" "Maria!" " Yes, ma'am." "Come up right now!" "I had a wet dream last night." "What happened?" "Where have you been?" "Bring the wheelchair." "I was sound asleep!" "Didn't I tell you to check on him in the night?" "Do you really think I'd let this happen to him?" "I'm okay, guys." "You are part of the family, Omar." "We depend on you." "It's always my fault." "Stop being a kid!" "Bring his dry clothes." " Yes, ma'am." "Omar." " Sorry." " Go wake up Mama." "I'm really hungry." "Lets all have breakfast together." "I'm sorry, sir." "I'm fine, Sofia." "I guess this is how Chinese torture feels like!" "Sofia!" "Sofia!" "Sofia!" "What is it?" "It's Mama Isabel." "She's no more." "Lord, hear our prayer." "Let our faith be our consolation, and eternal life our hope." "Your response." "Lord hear our prayer!" "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.." "Welcome back to Radio Zindagi." "And I'm Ethan Mascarenhas reminding you that.." ".. life's very short." "So go on break the rules." "Forgive quickly.." ".. kiss slowly." ".. love truly." ".. laugh uncontrollably." "And never regret anything that made you smile." "Hello, friend." "Hello Ethan." "I was very sad to hear about Mama." "She was the best." "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?" "Happy birthday, Yaseer." "You haven't forgotten?" " How could I?" "Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce to you.." ".. Yaseer Siddiqui." "He used to be my friend.." ".. and the most famous magician in the world." "We both know there was one name that was truly the greatest." "Yours." "Merlin." "Not me." "You were the greatest." "You never acknowledged it back then.." "Please, Ethan.." ".. for what I did to you.." "Please forgive me." "There's nothing to forgive, Yaseer." "You are dead." "That night marked your death, Yaseer." "Ladies and gentlemen, let's mourn the death of a great magician." "He was.. my best friend." "Bravo!" "Bravo!" "Look at that!" "What do you think?" "It's crap!" "It's not that bad!" "Your first-ever magic show.. 1 5 days." "You're leaving then." "Are your bags packed?" "Yes, Sir." "Mine too." "There's something I want to tell you, Sir." "Thank you for teaching me.." "I'm leaving now but.." " l'll always be around.." "All the time I spent with you.." " Every moment has been memorable.." "I'll miss you.." " Of course, you'll miss me." "Are you done?" "No, Sir." "I have a confession to make." "I am.." " Yaseer Siddiqui's son." "You knew?" "And you taught me in spite of that?" "What can I say?" "They just don't make men like me anymore!" "Rise!" "For all the smiles that you've given me.." "I have a gift for you." "Right there." "What this is?" " Magic." "What are you doing here?" "There's a restraining order forbidding you from meeting me!" "Leave now.." "Happy Anniversary, darling!" "Anniversary?" "!" "What Anniversary .." "..are you talking about when our marriage is over?" "Get lost from here." "You want to throw me out while you stay on in another man's bedroom!" "What's going on?" "Who is it?" "Nothing, Mr. Mascarenhas.." "Did I wake you up?" "I'm sorry, Mr. Mascarenhas." "I'm Sofia's forgotten husband." "I hope you remember me." "I'm Neville D'Souza." "I can't really say it's a pleasure." "Sure you can't." "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 crow like you." "That was a good one." "Here you go." "For you!" "Don't lay a hand on 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 on end?" "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" "What are you doing?" " Just painting her face!" "Nothing else." "Leave her alone!" " Listen to me, Mr. Mascarenhas." "I'm a painter. !" "I need freedom and I need love." "My wife isn't giving me either." "Do you understand?" "Let's just get out of here." "Please!" " l'm your husband." "Don't touch her!" "No." " Let go of her, you coward!" "Or else.." " Or else, what?" "What will you do?" "Sofia!" " Stare at me?" "Don't hit her!" "Please!" "Look at the pain in these eyes!" "Look at her one last time because she's never coming back." "I need her." "I'll send you a painting of hers!" "Sofia." "Let me at least give him his medicine.." "Ethan reports are not looking good." "iii 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." "Hospital it shall be." "I spoke to Sofia this morning." "She was asking about you." "Shell take some time but.." "..shell 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 today on Ethan Mascarenhas.." "..appeal for Mercy Killing." "The judgment could prove to be.." "..a milestone in India's judicial history." "Lets go to our special correspondent, Radhika Talwar.." "..who's at the Goa High Court." "Radhika, what does it look like?" "Its a tough call, Saroj." "Everyone expects Judge Rajhans to write a piece of history today." "Well soon know if hell lead the legal system into a new direction." "You can see, the corridors are practically empty." "Everyone is in the courtroom awaiting a historic judgment." "Wed like to say, Good luck, Ethan Mascarenhas." "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 individuals attempt to take his own life." "Therefore, relief is denied and this petition is dismissed." "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." "For him the end is nowhere in sight." "This is Radhika Talwar for News Time 4, Goa." "The sky has blurred the evening light its time to come back home, my love."

"Your happiness means everything to me." "You could go to jail." "Two years." "Ten years." "20 years. 40 years, lt doesn't matter." "Its nothing compared to the life imprisonment you're serving." "Do you really love me that much?" "Sofia." "Will you marry me?" "Now that you are free.." "Will you?" "Before I leave, I want to fulfill your wish too.." "Say Yes, Sofia.." "You won't get this chance again." "Say 'yes'." "Say 'yes', Sofia." "Mr. Mascarenhas.." "Ethan.." ".. I think you can call me Ethan now." "And you can.." ".. call me Mrs. Mascarenhas."

"All of my warriors who fought along with me, I thank you deeply." "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.." "Thank You is just not enough." "Walk to me, Sofia." "For the first time, without a tray or a newspaper or medicines in your hands." "It's not an easy walk." "The twelve steps you'll take.." ".. span twelve long years of your love." "Today.." "..walk to me as my wife.." "..as the love of my life."
