All four scenes have real on-screen dialogue. This is generated video at 480p: one clip per line, each character alone in frame. English captions are burned in; the spoken audio is Hindi. The voices come from the video model and can't be locked exactly; Joseph's voice is deepened in editing, consistently across the series, to set him apart from Vikram. Lip sync is approximate, and a few clips may show small glitches.

Meeraक्या आप विक्रम राव हैं?

Vikram (not looking up)किताबें खरीदनी हैं या बेचनी हैं?

Meeraआप जानते हैं। क्योंकि वो धोखा आपने ही रचा था, "राजीव मेनन" बनकर।

Vikramतुम्हें कैसे पता?

Scene 3

Vikramमैं बीस साल से ईमानदार हूँ, मीरा जी। मैंने सब छोड़ दिया।

Meeraतो फिर आज आप मेरी बात क्यों सुन रहे हैं?
