At the next court session, Arjun publicly accuses Raj of being guilty, challenging the defense narrative. The judge orders him to step down and revokes his license, ending his formal legal career for now. The ruling forces Arjun into a hiatus from Mumbai's legal world.

Disillusioned, Arjun leaves Mumbai for Goa to escape the public eye and his fallen status. There he meets the elderly lawyer Vivian McNamara, who offers guidance and companionship. Their conversations begin to reshape Arjun's sense of legacy and purpose.

In Goa, McNamara shares his philosophy on leaving a positive legacy and reveals a manuscript titled 'Fix the Fox' about the murder of five lawyers. He hopes to publish it and redefine his own mark on the world. The manuscript plants a seed in Arjun about truth, fame, and justice.

Arjun finishes reading the manuscript in a single night, struck by how closely it mirrors real cases. The thrill of its clever plotting is tempered by the chilling similarities to his own life. He begins to question the boundaries between fiction and fact.
