" They've arrived, sir!" " I know that." "Long live Justice Sinha!" "Move aside... go on!" "It's time for the meeting, sir." "Excuse me." "Long live...!" "Here's a real social-worker after Mahatma Gandhi." " He's cast a spell on the public." " We're social workers, too." "But no one cares for me..." "I'm talking about myself" " But they're bothered about you." " Get to work!" "The open-door policy has now brought us to the crossroads, gentlemen." "On the one hand is the path to prosperity which demands great sacrifice." "On the other, there is the path of peace and brotherhood." "Now, are we prepared for a struggle so that we may prosper in future?" "Or do we wish to be happy as we are?" "That is the question before us today." "This is wonderful!" "Caught between the devil and the deep blue seas, isn't it?" "!" "We'd better not stray from our point of discussion." "We have been discussing this for long in any case." "I think we must adopt the path of modernization and progress, Governor." "We must permit foreign companies to have free trade in our country." "We must tolerate the difficulties we are likely to encounter." "We can't have roses without thorns, can we?" "We must not let foreign companies set foot on our soil!" "Between holding a gun to the temple and enslaving someone and buying them out with dollars, there is no difference whatsoever." "You mean, the snake in the grass, don't you?" "Beautiful!" "You're the best of patriots, if ever there was one!" "This is the age of billionaires and millionaires, Mr. Minister!" "The power brokers don't matter much." "The fallen statues of the icons in Russia bear out this fact!" "Think of the money that the open-door police will bring into the country." "You're right." "The influx of foreign currency will strengthen our Rupee." "We will be self-reliant." "We will not have to mortgage our gold-reserves with other nations." " Our country will roll in wealth!" " No!" "It will go bankrupt!" "The multi-nationals will rob the country of its wealth." "Their computers will render millions of our workers jobless." "This will result in inflation." "Those living in flats will move to slums and those from the slums will be out on the streets only to be crushed under the swanky cars of the corporate sector!" "It is because of stubborn people like you that this country was divided!" "There were widespread riots;" "Gandhi was assassinated and the Babri mosque was demolished!" "You are penny wise and pound-foolish!" "You invoke the name of Lord Rama only to defame him!" "Stop being a stooge of the foreign companies, Mr. Chaudhary!" "It's ordinary cloth that will make your shroud!" "Not dollars!" " Mr. Vilasrao..." " Don't scream!" "I can do that, too!" "Please be calm..." "Sit down, both of you." "For a moment I thought we were in Parliament!" "We only stand to gain from the open-door policy!" "Please go ahead and sign the ordnance." "Please be cautious in every step you take, sir!" "This has to do with the future of the millions of the country." "We have had a pretty good debate on the open-door policy today." "It's true, the issue is complicated and not very simple." "But I hope to find a solution in about a fortnight." "We will surely find a middle-path which preserves the welfare of the people and their progress." "I thank all of you for being here." "The briefcase contains a million Rupees, Vilasrao." "Just make sure that there is no strike." "You have oiled the machinery, Mr. Modi." "I will now skirt the issue of the workers' demands." "You look worried, even after the recoveries?" "I've been thinking about the open-door policy." "If multi-nationals are allowed entry all this work will be accomplished by computers." "That the workers will starve is a truth." "What is worse is that our livelihood will be endangered." "We must now see whose opinion the Governor approves of and whom he eventually snubs." "You have a high Blood Pressure." "You don't seem to be taking your medicines." "I remind him even in the office." "But he refuses the medicine." " You may leave, Mr. Ishwar." " You're getting rid of me!" "This contains the memo of today's meeting and tomorrow's program." "I will leave now." "Please see that he takes his medicines." "Everyone is worried about your health, except your own self." "So long as Dr Gandhi is around, nothing will happen to me." "But people need doctors to even walk around these days!" "Wrong!" "A personality like you needs a lawyer, too, besides a doctor." ""After whatever you've thought, you have to get along with me"" "How does the B.P. Read today, Dr Gandhi?" "His condition is not very good." "Oh, come on!" "It's not his work that is worrying him, doctor." "We have some problems in the family." "Would you go outside and play, son?" "Why keep secrets from them?" "They're like family." "You know he married me and took Sahil for his son after the death of my husband." "He loves Sahil more than he would love his own son." "But, for some reason, Sahil is drifting away from him." "He is always aloof and withdrawn." "I have nothing against Sahil..." "Why don't you have a heart to heart talk with Sahil?" "But what will I discuss with him?" "I remember a couplet for this delicate situation." ""What could be the reason for this strife?"" "There is no strife between us, Mr. Thanawala." "Sahil is still a kid." "He will himself realize how much I love him." "You are very late, son." "You must return a bit early." "We miss you at dinner..." "Why must we be strangers?" "Why can't we live like father and son?" "You are undoubtedly my mother's second husband but you are not my father." " May I have a word with you?" " But who are you?" "I'm a salesman..." "I sell love." "I service beautiful girls like you, absolutely free of charge." " Pardon me?" "!" " I know the art of making love." "If I kiss you, you can assume you have excelled in the test of love." "You would like to excel, wouldn't you?" " Who the hell are you?" " I'm a salesman, too." "I sell junk!" "I set guys like you right, without any charge!" "This is not your vice-den!" "It's my college!" "Thanks for helping me." "You look familiar." "Have we met?" " Yes." "On several occasions." " But you've just joined college." "But you've known me for years." "We have a great friendship." "I have no friends." "I'm all alone." "You still haven't changed." "You were like this even as a child!" "Always racing away on the red bicycle!" "When did you return from boarding-school?" " It's a month now." " Then why didn't you meet me?" "I wanted to give you a surprise." "Which is why I took an admission in your college." "I wanted to see if you'd recognize me." "And what did you see?" "That you're still as you were..." "absolutely lonely." "I won't consider myself a loner anymore." "Neither will I." "I've got to see the Principal!" "I'll meet you tomorrow!" " I apologize for my uncle." "...that's in the past." "You won't punish me for what my uncle did?" " Not at all." " Will you consider me a friend?" " Why not?" " Let's have an ice-cream then!" "Not today." "Perhaps on another occasion." "Welcome, Mr. Diwan!" "..." "Relax!" "Your snacks are served!" "Well, what's all this appeasement in aid of?" "Looks like a new scheme to get me to increase your pocket-money." "Who's worried about pocket-money?" "I've stumbled upon the treasure!" "Had you been to a garment sale or to the college?" " To college." "Know whom I met?" " Whom did you meet?" "I met Sahil there." "He's as tall as a lamp-post!" "Like a true-blooded Punjabi!" "How did you recognize him?" "I'd never forgotten him that I had to recognize him!" "I must say, against all hopes, he has grown to be handsome." "Did he recognize you?" " Did he talk to you?" " Why wouldn't he?" "We're friend again, Papa!" "I'm thrilled!" "It's as if my childhood has returned to me!" "Wait... sit down here." "There's a big difference between the friendship of childhood and youth." "Don't forget;" "I'm his father's personal secretary." "So what?" "Why pursue a path that we don't intend to take up?" "How can you bring up these cliches, Papa?" "He hasn't bought you over, just because you're his secretary!" "Do you need to seek his permission everytime you breathe?" "Mercy on me, sir..." "A penny for me!" "Quiet!" "Obstinate girl!" "Just remember this much, dear." "It's a young girl who carries the trust of her father's honor." "I won't say another word." "Do as you please." "Okay?" "I'm not obstinate, dad..." "I'm only very sentimental." "If you consider my happiness a burden I will do as you say." "It will bother me, no doubt." "But I'll cry over it." "You're not only sentimental..." "you're an actress, too!" "You know I can never see you cry!" "I played horse for you earlier;" "I'll now play an ass!" "I'll even tolerate Governor's slap for your sake, okay?" "Bloody idiot!" "Do you know who Sahil is?" "He's the Governor Jaisingh Sinha's son!" "I'm trying to get my daughter married to him and you take on enmity with him?" "You're thinking of my marriage;" "and you haven't spoken to me!" "I'm sorry." "I wanted to surprise you." "I didn't want to tell you as yet." "But thanks to this idiot, I've blurted out the truth." "Your Dad has been trying to get you engaged to the Governor's son." "It's a good family and the boy's good, too." "Well, then... do you approve of your dad's choice?" "We will pursue this, only if you approve of it." "Do you agree?" "Speak up..." "don't feel shy." "I agree." "Let's go to the Governor's house with the proposal immediately." "Who's that?" "Why don't you speak?" "Any problem?" "Are you dumb?" "Your father seems to have a lot of money to waste!" "Who's that?" "Speak up!" "Why are you bothering me?" "Have you nothing better to do?" " Is that the Governor's bungalow?" " Yes." "Go on." "Stop talking and put Mr. Sahil Sinha on the line." " What is this regarding?" " Idiot!" "Who are you?" "I'm Mr. Diwan's very special servant." "Haven't you recognized me?" "I'm a friend of Mr. Diwan's daughter since her childhood and through her life." "Sahil!" "It is you!" "What can I do for you?" "Promise to meet me in my dreams tonight." "I'd do that, even if you didn't ask me to." "It has nothing to do with business;" "it's a family affair, sir." "Which is why I've brought my family along." "Where's Sahil?" "...relax." "I'll find him." " Which room is it?" " The first one upstairs." "Does your daughter already know my son?" "They're studying in the same college." "Eat, while you see the snaps." "I've made this on my own." "But you were a glutton as a kid!" "Always hogging something." " Really?" " As if you don't remember!" "You even used to snatch my food from me!" "You remember everything about our childhood, don't you?" "He told his mom only this morning that he wants to have a great birthday bash this year." " That's wonderful!" " He had a special reason, he said." "Your visit now explains what the special reason could be." "Here's how you looked as a kid." "The snap was taken at Aksa beach, while on a picnic." "He didn't say a word to us." "We know from you now as to what this is all about." "May we consider this alliance as cemented then?" "Certainly." " You're crying in this picture!" " Don't you remember?" "I threw water on your face and you threw me down on the rocks!" "It had hurt my cheeks badly." "The scars remained for long." "Dad thought my face was ruined forever." "That cheek, right?" "But there's no scar there." "The scars have faded." "But the wound remains." " Sahil is not at home." " He must've gone out." "Sit down, dear." "It's you we were talking about, even after you had left." "Shall we celebrate the alliance with sweets, Governor?" "In that case, may I apply a balm?" "Wonderful!" "You will apply a balm now for an injury of childhood!" " I was very innocent then." " Are you a wise man now?" "Not at all." "I've gone mad and crazy now." "May I apply the balm then?" "Daddy!" "Look who's here!" " Greetings, uncle." " Greetings, son." "He has come to discuss something very important with you, Dad." "I've come to invite you to my birthday party next week." "You will not be there as the Governor's personal secretary." "You will be my personal guest." "Do attend the party." "I'm grateful to you for attending my elder son's birthday party." "It's a matter of pride for every father to watch his son grow as tall as he himself is." "I'm even more proud, for my son is two inches taller than me!" "He even wears shoes bigger than mine!" "It's true that my son has now grown up." "As a responsible father then, it is my duty to do whatever my son feels like doing." "This is his right." "On this occasion therefore, I want to give my son a beautiful present." "A present he loves." "Something he will have to keep all his life." "You've guessed it!" "I want to announce his engagement!" "The girl is sincere, kind-hearted and beautiful and best of all, my son loves her." "The girl is Mr. Chaudhary's daughter..." "Sheetal Chaudhary." "Put the ring on her finger, son." "Just a minute, Mom." "On my birthday today, I wished to pour my heart out to you." "But the Governor has poisoned the atmosphere, before I could do that." "He likes to create drama and every word of what he said was a lie." "How would he know what my heart craves for?" "He does not approve of the girl I am in love with." "It's a blow to his respect to accept her as his daughter-in-law." "Because she happens to be Isha, the daughter of his personal secretary." "What madness is this?" "I have done everything as per your liking." "Don't call this force on me as something I like." "Why don't you admit that you will not get me engaged to your P.A.'s daughter?" "You loved Sheetal till yesterday." "What made you change overnight?" "What change?" "Who has fed you the stories?" "Are you stoned?" "Stop arguing and apologize to Mr. Chaudhary." "Apologize to Sheetal, too." "You have subjected my love to ridicule, Governor!" "It's you who must apologize!" "You're talking nonsense!" "They're all watching us." "Stop messing with me, or else I'll strip you before all of them!" "What are you talking about, Sahil?" "Don't interfere, Mom!" "You will strip me?" "Strip your father?" " Never mind him, please..." " You have spoilt him!" "This is the limit!" "I'll give him another chance." "He'd better apologize to everyone, or he won't like the consequences." "What more harm can you do to me anyway?" "I'll throw you out of my house!" "You'll be out on the streets, to be rejected everywhere!" "There's no place for cheapsters like you in my house!" "You've proved you are my step-father, haven't you?" "You heard him." "He has admitted that he was only interested in my mother." " Not to accept me as his son..." " Insolent rascal!" "Why have you stopped?" "Dig the knife in your mother's heart!" "To kill your father, you will first have to pierce my heart!" "Had he only not been your husband, I'd have dug the knife in him!" "What are you laughing for?" "I can't help it!" "It's something we must mourn but I can't help laughing looking at you guys!" "Get out!" "Go outside and laugh!" "Even if Chaudhary's daughter does not marry the Governor's son what is certain is that they're one now." "We're one, too, Vilasrao." "I swear by the Gods!" "I won't let things go haywire." "We must find a serious cure for this grave problem, minister." "You're right." "I wish to say something." "Whether Sahil cares for me or not, I love him with all my heart." "I will someday make a place for myself in his heart." "Why aren't you trying to see the point?" "Your Dad has nothing against Diwan and his daughter." "In fact, he likes Isha." "But you will be happier if you marry Sheetal." "That's enough, Dr Gandhi!" "Don't defend your friend anymore!" "Who the hell is he to decide things in my life?" "Stop drinking now." "Go home." "I'm going to decide this tonight!" "Yes?" "What is it?" "I'm helpless." "I can do nothing about this." "Mr. Governor!" "Father!" "God!" "Who did this?" "Who did it to you?" "Speak up!" "Speak!" "Is anybody there?" "!" "Mother..." "It wasn't me, mother..." "I've done nothing!" "What else can I say, My Lord?" "He launched an attack on the deceased at the party on August 29th!" "Thanks to the guests who were present there he contained his sinful intentions!" "On the night of the 30th, he found the opportunity and killed his father!" "Without wasting the court's time, Your Honor I'd like to present leading personalities of the city who stand testimony to Sahil's waywardness!" "I swear by every holy Text!" "Had Shardadevi not intervened he'd have killed his father on the night of August 29th itself!" "I was stunned to see his true colors on the night of the 29th." "He attacked his father with a dagger in hand!" "He screamed that he would kill him!" "He has killed the Governor!" "That's the cent percent truth!" "The poor Governor tried to make him see sense." "He was beside himself, addressing him as his "son"." "But this boy had murderous intentions." "He's a step-son." "No wonder he could do something so heinous!" "There's no doubt at all!" "He is the one who has killed the Governor!" "When the police arrested Sahil Sinha at the site of the crime on the 30th ...he was dead drunk." "The finger-prints on the weapon of murder and the deceased's body belonged only to Sahil Sinha." "I have been appointed to defend Sahil Sinha." "It's a record that I have never lost a case in my life." "But I would like to lose this case today." "This is the Will of the Governor Sinha, which was entrusted to me." "It clearly states that the heir to all his wealth will be not his only son, Harsh Sinha but Sahil Sinha." "It was his lust for wealth that compelled him to murder his father." "He showed his true colors, the moment the Will was prepared." "That is a lie!" "And so is your case!" "I have not killed my father!" "But nobody believes me!" "So I am a liar!" "So is the police, the case and the witnesses!" "But a mother would never lie on such an occasion especially when her son is being sent to the gallows!" "I'd therefore like your permission to present Sharda Devi in court." "Permission is granted." "So, Sharda Devi... what did you see at the scene of the crime?" "Is it a lie that the accused was dead drunk?" "Is it a lie that he was in a murderous mood?" "Is it a lie that he mercilessly stabbed your husband to death?" "It's true." "Every word that you have uttered is true." "He is the one who has killed my husband." "He has killed his father!" "It's better to be childless, than have such issues!" "You could have killed me, too!" "Why didn't you?" "Why didn't you kill me, too?" "The verdict will be pronounced tomorrow." "In view of the testimony of witnesses and the evidence at hand this court reaches the conclusion that that Sahil Sinha mercilessly killed his father." "Under the Indian Penal Code 302, this court awards Sahil Sinha Rigorous Imprisonment for 14 years." "How could this happen, Sahil?" "!" "I can never live without you!" "This is a lie, Isha." "Believe me." "I have been framed." "But I know for sure today how much my father loved me." "Let's go." "Do something for Sahil, dad!" "Get in." " I want to have a word with him." " Not allowed... get in!" "Give us a minute, inspector?" "Please?" "You have only a minute." "No matter what anyone says, I will always consider you innocent." "Won't you embrace me, before I leave?" "There's a locket in my pocket, Sheetal!" "Quietly pull it out." "I haven't told anyone about it." "I found this in Dad's hand when he breathed his last." "Make sure you keep it safely." "This might perhaps take me to the real killer!" "Shut the door." "Move!" "You show me your strength?" "!" "You have murdered your father!" "You have killed your father!" "You dare show me your strength?" "!" "You show me your strength?" "!" "You have a lot of steam, eh?" "This was the reception on your arrival!" "Behave like newly married bride!" "Keep your voice and eyes lowered!" "Or you're going to get the stick again!" "Hurry up in the queue...!" "Give that to me... just get lost!" "Give me a plate, guys..." "Quick!" "So, "chicken-chilly"?" "You're fuming, aren't you?" "He's a tender guy!" "Calm down... calm down, son." "This will aggravate the situation." "Besides, they're professional killers." "Sit down." "You want to eat, right?" "Share my food with me." "I'm an old man, as it is." "I can't eat so much." "Let's eat." "What crime are you serving a sentence for?" "I have been accused of killing my father." "Is it true?" "That's what the Law thinks." "And my mother does not believe my innocence too." "But I believe you." "I'm no longer interested in the world outside." "I'm all alone." "Our landlord set my wife and kids on fire." "I'm serving a sentence for killing him." "I'm not interested in going out." "But you have to find the real killer of your father." "You have to win back your mother's trust." "How will I do that?" "An escape from here is impossible!" "There is only one way of getting out of here." "Through the waters, that is." "You can escape through the sea." " The sea?" " Yes." "In eleven years, I have found a weakness in this jail." "What is the weakness?" "All the refuse and dirty water of the jail flows into the sea through a drainage system." "But where is this drain?" "In the dark-cells, the oldest portion of this prison." "It's pitch dark in there." "When they want to give someone severe punishment they send the prisoner to that cell for some days." "If you somehow manage to reach that cell there is hope for you." "Exactly two feet under the commode in the toilet is the drain which leads to the sea." "How far will I be able to swim in the sea?" "Let me explain, son." "If you can arrange for a boat, you can escape this prison." "Listen, No. 22!" "There's a girl here to see you." "Sheetal?" "You?" " How are you?" " I'm fine." "But how's mom?" "She still hasn't gotten over the shock, they say." "I had great difficulty in getting permission to meet you." "I might not come again, and I was compelled to call on you." " Will you do me a favor?" " I can do anything for you." " This could be dangerous." " I don't care." "You must arrange for a boat to arrive at the creek next Wednesday." " Are you planning to..." " You're right." "I can prove my innocence only after escaping!" "But you must be careful." "If there's an enquiry, you must not get involved." "Don't worry." "There are people in the city who would do anything for money." "I will set it up." "If just talking isn't enough do you want me to lay a bed in here?" "Go away, Sheetal." "Look after yourself." "That's not a bad idea..." "but it's only an idea." "Lower your gaze!" "Or you get the stick!" "Get up, punks... and get lost!" "Get cracking, buddy." "What's wrong with him?" "Let's take a look." "You are parasites!" "You feed on the government and the public." "You live on left-overs!" " Here's your food..." " He's getting smart!" "What's going on over here?" "Stop it, I say!" "Stop it, or you get the stick!" "You've made a big mistake by hitting me!" " I'm going to kill you!" " It's not his mistake, sir!" "He's not at fault, sir!" "They've made life miserable for him, sir!" "They're driven him crazy!" "He's not to blame, sir!" "Out of my way, old man!" "You've been given 14 years in prison, haven't you?" "Each day will be like 14 years for you!" "Take them away and throw them in the dark cell!" "Get in!" "He's thinking of serving us grilled!" "I can spare you guys on one condition." " We agree to every condition!" " You must do as I say." " Sure, we will!" "Tell him, Shiva!" " All right." "Take this piece of iron." "Follow me." "If you want to escape you must dig a 2-feet pit under the commode in four days." "This is the only way we can escape." "Is that the truth?" "I've even arranged for a boat on Wednesday." "I must say!" "You're more crooked than we are!" "He has even bumped off his old man..." "I'm only kidding." " Start digging immediately." " Get cracking, buddy." "Damn it!" "It's already 2 feet!" "But there's no way of escape!" "There's no god-forsaken gutter in here!" "You've gone crazy, feller!" "You're simply nuts!" "And we've been digging away!" "It's four days since they were locked away in the dark cell, sir." "Hunger and thirst must have dried up their intestines by now!" "We won't get to know, even if they die." "Let's go and take a look." "Look at that!" "We've found the tunnel!" "This is the main gutter!" "I can even hear water flowing!" "Let's scram!" "Hurry up!" "Someone's coming this way." "So, smart-ass?" "!" "Are you rid of your arrogance?" "You've invited trouble by provoking me!" "Spend another 3 days here and you will come to your senses!" "The bastards!" "They dare mess with me!" "No, jailer!" "I will use the stick today!" "Once I'm through, you will never be able to wield the stick again!" "There's something fishy in there." "Let's check it out!" "No!" "Sahil has escaped from prison!" "You... ought to be happy now, dear." "I'm delighted, father!" "I'm thrilled!" "What has your police force been doing, Patwardhan?" "Why hasn't the convict been nabbed?" "I'm being hounded by calls from the Capital!" "I'm the only one they seem to find!" "The police have fanned out in all directions, sir." "Now look... this is not something you can hush up, okay?" "I want results!" "And quick results at that!" "If my position is threatened because of your incompetence I swear by Shiva!" "I will have you transferred to Kashmir!" "Go away." "Listen... how did the convicts escape?" "He went out through the commode, sir." "This is no ordinary case, sir." "The minister wants quick results." "There is only one officer who can help you in such a sticky situation." "Who are you talking about?" "Who will the disciple talk about, except his Guru?" "No!" "Not Udham Singh!" "There you are!" "He's talking about a savage, sir!" "He's always looking for a blood-bath!" "He's a law unto himself;" "does anything that fancies him." "He defies his seniors!" "The boss does not like him either!" "He has suspended him on 3 occasions!" "Ask him!" " I suspended him only 3 months ago." " There you are!" "He's eccentric and arrogant, all right." "But he's good at his work!" "He's a Class One Officer!" "There he is, sir." " Hello, sir!" " Who's that?" "It's me!" "Your fan!" "One who has always admired your guts." " I'm your..." " A sycophant!" "Sit down." "Look who's here to meet you." "I see!" "The boss, eh?" "Welcome, sir." "Sit down." " What will you have?" " You know I don't drink." "Let it arrive, sir." "I'll have it." "He wants to discuss something very important with you." "Why not?" "He remembers me whenever he's in hot-waters." "Isn't that true?" "Charity begins..." "when the end is near!" "It's two day since you've escaped." "The cops must have cooled off." "You guys can leave." "There you are, sir!" "Didn't I say he would surely turn up?" "Welcome to the department." "Give that to me." "I want to ask you something before I resume my duties, sir." "Whose law do I follow?" "My own?" "Or that of the department?" "I want immediate results!" "Which means, I will not be asked why I fired at their chests." "They always aim at our heads and we are ordered to fire at their legs!" "Does the Government take us cops to be sacrificial lambs?" "That they feed us and throw us around to die?" "Such laws are of no use, sir." "Your speech always sends my adrenalin soaring, sir!" "And I break into a cold sweat!" "You will have to stay within limits, Udham Singh." "I take on the spot decisions, sir." "I decide the fate of the people I find on the spot, sir." "Do anything you wish." "But I want results." "Study this file." " I don't need it, sir." " Why not?" "It's a case of jail-break in which three convicts have escaped prison." "They are Sahil Sinha, Ganpat Wagle and Shiva Murlidharan." "The first mentioned has killed the Governor." "The other two were serving sentences for petty crimes." "It's exactly 27 hours, 22 minutes and 15 seconds since they escaped." "There is no lead." "Isn't that what the file says?" " How do you know all this?" " Didn't I tell you, sir?" "I concentrate on one thing at a time." "I hit the bottle, when I drink." "But when I'm on duty, it is only duty I do." "I can spend all 24 hours in the line of duty." "I will only be obsessed with my duty now." "And I will drink only after I have closed this case." "Send word to your families." "You will not go home till this case is solved." "The last time I worked with him I started suffering from High Blood Pressure." "The next step after High Blood Pressure is a failure of the heart!" " Why don't you join us, buddy?" " No." "Go on ahead." "Think it over." "You're making a mistake." "Well, take care..." "See you, if we live." "Get in, Sahil." " Where's the locket, Sheetal?" " I knew you'd ask for it." "I've brought it along." "This is the first step towards my goal." "No." "Your first step is my house." "The police are all around." "You will spend the night at my place." "Our old mansion would be the ideal place for you to hide." "The police can never get there." "Where are the fugitives?" "Let me go, Inspector!" "Or I'll shoot this girl!" "I'm exhausted, Sheetal." "I've escaped from prison." "But where will I go?" "There seems to be darkness all around." "Who could be the real killer?" "I don't know if I will be able to solve the riddle." "You mustn't think too much." "I'm with you now." "Give all your worries to me." "You have been a very good friend, Sheetal." "You have done something so dangerous and difficult." "No." "It was easy." "It's something else that is difficult." " What?" "!" " I'll explain later." "Freshen up." "I'll go and get you something to eat." "I'll lock the door from outside, okay?" "Hold it, Inspector!" "Lower your gun!" "Or I'll color this guy's head with blood!" "Lower the gun, I say!" "Anything amiss and the bullet would have smashed my skull!" "But I had faith in your marksmanship, sir!" "But I had no faith." "Didn't you ask me what is difficult?" "This love of mine is the greatest difficulty." "Sheetal?" "Open the door." "The name is Inspector Udham Singh." "May I come in?" "No." "I came to check out the decor of your room." "Looks like there was someone else with you in this room last night." "There are two beds." "I'm in the habit of lying on the sofa, while I'm reading." "I go to bed, when I'm really sleepy." "That's a nice habit." "But I can't see any book in your room." " Where is Sahil Sinha?" " How would I know?" "You're wasting my time and my daughter's too, Inspector." "The boatman who helped the convicts escape was paid half a million Rupees by a girl." "Could be true." "So?" "That's enough!" "I've got to leave for the office." "I must say." "This is a neat and tidy room." "No wonder then that any particle of dust stands out like a sore thumb." "Where could sand from the seas have gotten into your room from?" "It was windy last night." "That must have caused this." "Not even a storm could bring sand into your room, Miss Sheetal." "Because your room does not face the seas." "I can hear water flowing." "Excuse me." "I was going for a bath." "I want to know which soap you use!" "The secret of your beauty!" "Do not forget your limits, Inspector!" "I can have you suspended with a single telephone call!" "That's nothing unusual for him." "He's been more under suspension than on duty!" "He has escaped from the window." "We arrived late, sir." " Why do we always arrive late?" " Shut up!" "I know where he must have gone." "Wait, Inspector... you asked about the sand, didn't you?" "It's the sand that was on Sahil Sinha's shoes." "Sheetal!" "What nonsense are you talking?" "You're right." "There was someone else with me in this bedroom last night." "It was Sahil Sinha." "I'm the girl they told you about." "I'm the one who helped him escape from the prison." "And I will continue to help him." "Because I know he's innocent!" "And what will you do?" "Arrest me?" "Hang me?" "I do only one thing at a time." "I want Sahil Sinha." "...Dead or alive." "And I have decided to save him!" "Because I love him!" "Those in love can do a lot!" "Just you remember that." " She's threatening us, sir!" " Must I take her in custody?" "She's a kid, inspector." "Please don't pay attention to her." "Which is why I am not arresting her." "I have an advise for you, Mr. Chaudhary." "Send her away to Agra." "They have the country's largest madhouse there." "Let's go." " Yes?" " I'm Inspector Udham Singh." "Is Mr. Ishwar Diwan there?" " No." " Who are you?" "I'm his daughter, Isha." "Please come in." "No thank you." "I'm comfortable here." "What's all this about, Inspector?" "I have been following Sahil Sinha's trail." "He didn't come here, did he?" "No." "You can come inside and take a look." "You were going to get engaged to him, right?" "Yes." "He will certainly come to meet you." "You appear to be a sensible girl." "Tell him not to harass me and make me run around unnecessarily." "Or he will face the consequences." "I will gun him down the moment I see him." "We find it difficult to handle one woman at home!" "And this young chap has gone for a fling with two of them!" "What could be his formula?" "Concentrate on your work, Pandu." "If you lose your job, you will forget the formula of handling your wife!" "Your life is in danger!" "The Inspector will shoot you at sight!" "We must go away to some far-off place!" "If something happens to you, I will die without you!" "I love you, Sahil..." "I love you very much!" "I love you very much, too." "But how long will I keep running away from this problem?" " I'll have to find a solution." " How?" "Perhaps Doctor Gandhi can help me." "He's one man my father discussed all his problems with." "There you are!" "This is how he jumps all day!" "He thinks Sahil Sinha has arrived!" "Shut up!" "Do something, doctor!" "Or I'm going to be a nervous wreck!" "This is Sahil, doctor." "Who is that?" "!" "It's a patient of mine." "I've got to meet you, Dr. Gandhi." "I want to meet you, too." "I want to discuss a secret with you." "A secret?" "!" "Yes." "But it wouldn't be proper to reveal it over the phone." "Come to my house at 10.30 tonight." "And take care." "Who's that?" "Murder!" "You have murdered my master!" "Murder!" "A bloody murder!" " What the hell are you up to?" " Trying to figure out the case!" " How must he have stabbed him..." " Will you stab me?" "!" "That's exactly how my master died, while he sat there in his chair." "File the F.I.R.!" "Cut the bloody drama!" " We have filed the F.I.R., sir!" " Sahil Sinha has murdered him!" " Is this knife from your house?" " No..." "I see, question him!" "Could you find any finger-prints, Neelkanth?" "This is his second murder, sir." "He won't make the mistake again." "He's now a B.C., after his stint in prison." " What's that?" " A Bachelor of Crime." "Both these daggers seem to be of the same make and mould." "They appear to be part of a knife-set." "Which set could that be?" "My God!" "There goes another gentleman!" "I don't understand why he must have killed doctor Gandhi." "If he doesn't mind, I would like to offer some help." "Please do." "I'd welcome any help from the public." "What do you propose to do?" "We can announce a reward for those who have him arrested, brother." "Anyone capturing Sahil alive or dead will get 10 million Rupees." "Perhaps the lure of money will make the public get hold of him." "Why do we need the police, if we're going to take help from the public?" "Patwardhan!" "Your department is a liability to the state treasury!" "What do the police get from your treasury anyway, Mr. Minister?" "3,500 for the inspectors and 2500 for the constables?" "Not even attendants in banks would work for such a pittance nowadays!" "Who's this arrogant man?" "I haven't donned this uniform to make 3,500 from you?" "Neither am I interested in making money from under the table!" "I have this obsession of cleaning society of its filth!" "Anyone who has this obsession is often an arrogant man." "That's Inspector Udham Singh..." "He's in-charge of the case." "He's the one who shot dead the other two convicts." "I see!" "I'm confident now that he will surely nab the killer!" "Please arrest that man immediately, Mr. Commissioner!" "Or else, my daughter could lose her life!" "What's wrong, Mr. Diwan?" "Sahil Sinha has run away with his daughter." "His daughter and his car have been missing since last night, sir." "Where have you brought me so far away from the city, Isha?" "Your life is in danger." "You are now being accused for Gandhi's murder." "Staying in the city could claim your life." "But I can't find a way if I run away from the problem." "Your life is like my own life, Sahil." "And I'm taking my life away from all the dangers." "To a place where we live..." "and that, does." " What's that?" " Our love, Sahil." "10 million!" "It's a bloody goldmine, boss!" "The forest guard confirms what this newspaper says." "That the boy has entered our state with the girl." "This money has virtually walked into our state, Sikander." "No one, not even the cops, must get their hands on this boy." "Your time is up." "Get up." "Hand him over to us, Inspector" "No!" "Don't make that mistake!" "Take a look over there." "Leave the girl alone!" "It has to do with 10 million Rupees, Inspector." "We don't trust you, Inspector." "I have been framed, Inspector." "I have killed no one." "Please let me go." "I do only one at a time." "Right now, I'm busy catching you." " Why don't you understand..." " My only goal is Sahil Sinha!" "And my only goal is to find the true killer of my father!" "Stop arguing with me!" "Or I'm going to drag your corpse away!" "In that case, open fire!" "Or you will regret it." "You have used up all the six bullets it had." "Now try and save yourself from me!" "There's no point in waiting here." "Let's return." "Where are you going with the will?" " Answer me!" " It will help Sahil, mother." "Don't you know what he has done to your father?" "Sahil can't be a bad man." " Stop arguing and give that to me..." " No!" "What have you come here for?" "Aren't you satisfied, now that you have killed your father?" "I have not killed anyone, Mom." "I'm looking for the real killer." "I don't want to talk to you." "Go away... or I will call the police!" " Please forgive him, Mother." " Keep out of this!" "And should you want me to live, don't talk to him ever again!" "He means nothing to us." "You have no brother!" "Do you understand?" "You are making the very mistake I made, mother." "I could understand how much Dad loved me, only after losing him." "I hope you don't realize the truth only after you have lost me." "What was that, sir?" "I must ask Mr. Gupta to eat give this file to Magistrate Narayan and whom am I supposed to call?" "Idiot!" "Give the file to Mr. Gupta, telephone Magistrate Narayan and you yourself may go and eat!" "He was here yesterday, to take his father's will away." "Is it the same will the advocate Thanawala had prepared?" " The one which figured in court?" " Yes." "Are you back?" "Go away, I say!" "Sahil!" "It's you, son?" "!" "What's up, son?" "You look worried!" "A grave injustice has been done to you!" "Sit down..." "It's thanks to you that I have been branded a murderer!" "You're mistaken, son." "I've done nothing!" "Try ringing the bell or screaming and I'll crush your hand!" "Everything's going haywire, sir." "My mind has gone blank!" "I've got to call Mr. Gupta ask the magistrate to have a bath and who's to be given the food?" " Hello!" " Hi." "I think I've seen you somewhere." "Now where was that?" " I remember now!" " Do you really?" "I saw his picture in the newspapers!" "You must have." "I interview people as I'm interviewing your boss." "Please do a good job." "This is his first interview!" "Sure!" "I will do a good job!" "After this interview, the boss's picture will appear in the newspaper!" " What is it?" " It's the Governor's will!" "Yes!" "And you did not reveal every detail of this document in court!" "You have concealed the most important factor!" "It says that should something happen to me after father's death you will be custodian of all his wealth!" "So you killed my father and framed me for the murder!" "That would clear your path!" " Where is Thanawala's office?" " Who's that?" "I don't remember." " But you work for Thanawala!" " Oh yes!" "I work for him!" "Mercy, son!" "Have mercy on me!" " Admit to your crime first!" " I confess!" "I have betrayed the Governor!" "I was blinded by greed!" " So I manipulated the will." " You've committed the murders, too!" "That's not true, son!" "I have committed the murders." "You won't come around politely!" " Have you seen this man?" " It's a familiar face..." " Where have you seen him?" " You can't remember, right?" "How much are you going to hit me, Sahil?" "Give it a thought!" "What would I gain out of murdering Dr. Gandhi?" " Of course, I remember..." " Speak up then!" "I saw him in a lawyer's office." " Oh yes!" "I remember it all!" " Do you really?" "I've seen this guy in Thanawala's office!" "That had to be Thanawala!" "I remember a couplet, now that I'm in this state." "Wouldn't you like to hear it?" ""The trees and the roses..." "they all know how I feel"" ""If there's anyone ignorant, it's the cops"" "Wow!" "Now here is a poet in bandages!" "This is a casualty ward, not a poet's conference." "Please give us your statement, Mr. Thanawala." "Sahil Sinha flung me down from the 2nd floor with the intention of killing me." "Make sure you press charges against him for murder, Inspector." "We'd have done that, had only you been murdered!" " But it will now Section 307." " That's right." "Half a murder." "But why did he attack you?" "He wants to kill everyone who testified against him in court." "Shut up!" "What on earth are you laughing for?" "!" "You had testified against him, too!" "I think this ward could do with some more beds, sir." "For an emergency, that is." "Please do something about this, Udham Singh!" "He has committed three killings while you are still around!" " Two and a half, actually." " This is half a murder, you know." "All right!" "That makes it 2 and a half murders!" "The police have done all they could." "It would be wise now to make our own arrangements of security." "If I happen to kill the boy in self-defense will I be guilty of murder?" " No." "Stop laughing!" "And ask the Commissioner to give us protection!" "I want special security arrangements around me, through out the day!" "Please don't worry." "I'm investigating the case." "I can't figure it out." "Who's the killer, if not Thanawala?" "It was a cleverly executed murder right inside the house." "He was familiar with the topography of the house." "Which is why no one saw him." "It has to be someone we know..." "someone close to us." "But who can that be?" "Whoever he was, he couldn't have been a friend of your Dad." "I think it's either a feud or a large gain that has motivated this murder." "The large gain!" "You're right!" "Since my father was a Governor, a public figure somebody must surely have gained from his death!" "And I'm a mere student who could frame me for murder and gain from it?" "The real killer!" "No wonder he put a reward of 10 million on my head!" "So I'd get caught and his misdeeds would remain a secret!" "You're talking about Meghnath Chaudhary and his brother!" "Why have you brought me here?" "What have I at the Shipping Yard." "What's all this about, Sheetal?" "Why don't you tell me?" "What are you hiding, Sheetal?" "Why have you brought me here?" " I have a surprise for you, Daddy." " Really?" "What is it?" "Sahil wants to ask you some questions, dad." "This is not done, Sheetal." "You shouldn't have done this." "What makes you scared to see me here, Mr. Chaudhary?" "Why have you broken into a cold sweat?" "No, I'm not scared, Sahil." "This area belongs to me." "If I wish, I could see that you don't leave alive." "That's my first question." "Why do you want to have me killed?" " What?" "!" "Why would I..." " Answer him, dad." "I understand it all!" "You wanted the Governor's signature on some important documents." " Didn't you?" " Yes." "I did." "And you killed the Governor because you did not get his signatures!" "What?" "!" "You're crazy!" "I have not killed any Governor..." " Admit it!" "You have killed him!" " But I haven't..." "You've gone mad, Sahil!" "I swear by my daughter!" "I have not killed anyone!" " You're lying..." " Hold it, Sahil!" "He hasn't killed him, if he says he hasn't." "He'd never take a false oath in my name!" "Okay, Sahil!" "I've cheated people in business!" "I've been a fraud!" "But I am not a murderer!" "Then why have you placed a reward of 10 million on my head?" " Have I..." " It was me, not him." "I'm going to keep the money to myself now, brother." "I've even telephoned Inspector Udham Singh." "You have called the wrong place." "Because you're going to need an ambulance, not Udham Singh." "Your face is worth looking at, Inspector!" "It appears as I've snatched a bone from a dog's mouth!" "I'm feeling sorry for you!" "I'd advise you to save some of your laughter, Miss Sheetal." "This is how you will laugh when I shoot Sahil." "Because you will be an absolute lunatic by then." "Come on, inspector!" "Stop dreaming!" "You can't as much as touch Sahil, so long as I'm alive!" "Watch out... careful, please!" "Be gentle!" "I remember another couplet hearing you groan like this." ""He's here in my ward, thanks to Sahil"" ""I gape at his plasters and my own bandages"" "There he is!" "The poet in bandages!" "My word!" "He seems to have been run over by a road-roller!" "Shut up!" " That's the second half-murder." " You're right!" " You can call it three murders!" " Shut up!" " It's not me." "He's laughing!" " Never mind." "May we record his statement now, Mr. Neelkanth?" "My foot!" "He's in bad shape!" "He has a dog's leash!" "And a iron-rod in his feet!" "Is it really iron?" "Why must you endanger your life for Sahil?" "He doesn't love you." "So why must you keep chasing him?" "There's no saying when he will have a change of heart." "And I'm helping him only because I'm in love with him." "You're making a mistake!" "He's using you!" " He loves only Isha!" " That's not true!" "Not any longer!" "He used to love her earlier." "But now he trusts only me!" "I'll get him to tell me tonight that he loves me alone!" "What brings you to the police station so early in the day?" " I've been here all night." " Have you got a new case now?" "I've been trying to figure out what Sahil Sinha really is." "I've been going through his file." "Why be so interested in his file, when you're going to gun him down?" "This file tells me who his next target is." "That's the money I pay you, as usual." "And this is your birthday gift." "A golden wrist-watch." "So you remember my birthday, too!" "It's a nice gift." "A golden-watch!" "Just what you like, boss." "I have a gift for you, too." "The locket you had lost in my father's hands when you murdered him!" "This is not my locket." "But today it will belong to me." "Hit him!" "Clobber him!" "Kill him!" "Give it to him!" "No!" "If you kill me, you will never know who killed your father!" "I know who did it!" "I know the killer!" " Who killed him?" " It was a political killing!" "It was the Minister who murdered him!" "Let Vilas Rao alone, Sahil!" "You're catching the wrong man!" "This is police matter." "He's a run away convict!" "You think he's a convict!" "Not us!" "The young man has done what we couldn't do in all these years!" "He has taught a crooked union leader a lesson!" "We will not let you take him away!" "Out of my way!" "Out of my way, I say!" "Here's a couplet to celebrate your arrival, Vilas Rao." ""A great time will be had when the wounded get together!" " Minister!" " What is it?" "Come closer..." "I've made a very big mistake." "I had to tell Sahil you're guilty, to save myself from him." "Damn you!" "Forgive me, please." "Another couplet, while you leave, Minister." ""I shall await you till you come here, hurt by Sahil"" "Here you are, Anna!" "This is 2 million Rupees." "Tell you what, mister?" "Go to sleep peacefully." "This will be our first and last meeting." "I will not meet you again." "But I will certainly send you Sahil Sinha's dead-body." "You must bring the minister to the show tomorrow." " Or I'll have to leave the city." " Leave the city?" "Yes, Sheetal." "For how many days can I run away from the law?" "Udham Singh has been following him like his death." "If the killer is not caught by tomorrow night both of us will leave the city and go away somewhere where nobody recognizes us." "But I have a feeling that I'm close to my goal." "You have always been close to your destination, Sahil." "I'm your goal!" "See you tomorrow, Sahil." "I will bring the minister to the show." "How much will you help me?" "Won't I ever get the chance to help you?" "Don't worry." "You're the one I will look to, when the need arises." "It's necessary for the Minister to come tomorrow, Sheetal." "Have faith in me." "Bye..." "What's up?" "Sheetal is much too kindly disposed towards you." " What's the catch?" " There's no catch." "It's simple." "She's not really as simple as she appears to be." "She's evil, deep within." "You mustn't trust such girls." " Don't you trust me?" " I do trust you." "But I don't trust woman." "Hell hath no fury like a woman spurned!" "Really?" "What if I cut myself off from you?" " You'll cut yourself off from me?" " Suppose I do." "What will you do?" " I'd devour you!" " How'd you do that?" "So you're willing to be our Chief Guest!" "To see the girls dance, I will cancel all my other programs." "But I have a problem." "Problem?" "What problem?" "There's someone who is baying for my life!" "I take my security guards along, wherever I go." "We would not like to inconvenience you in such a situation." "I'll try to find another Chief Guest for my function." " Let's go." " Wait... don't be dejected!" "I'll definitely find a way." "For your sake especially, I will leave my guards outside the hall." "You will be there on time, won't you?" "Certainly!" "He has arrived!" "What the hell is all this?" "Where are you taking me?" "!" "Let me go!" "For God's sake!" "What are you doing?" "Leave me alone!" "Don't try something funny, because this revolver is loaded today." "You have been lucky so far." "But your bad days begin." "Step out, Miss Isha." "Let us go, Inspector." "Or I'll kill the Minister." " Go ahead and kill him." " What are you saying?" "!" "I have just one goal..." "and that is Sahil Sinha." "Come out." "Open fire, if you must." "But I will not stop." "Go on." "Inspector!" "I'll have you suspended!" "I won't spare you!" "Help me, someone!" "What have you done, sir?" "!" "Only a truthful man can take a bullet." "That young man's courage reminds me of my youth." "I have suddenly woken up to the human in me." "I didn't ever see this side of you, sir." "We were wrong, Neelkanth." "That boy can't be the killer." "What are you doing, son?" "Stop playing with fire!" "I swear!" "I have not killed the Governor!" "Don't make me angrier, or I'll burn your feet!" "You're making a mistake, son!" "I have not committed the murder!" "You're lying!" "Vilas Rao has himself named you!" "I swear by the holy rivers!" "I have not killed anyone!" "I kept the insurance documents at home, since you told me to." "We'll leave, once we have collected the documents." "Welcome." "You've come at a good time, Diwan." "Greetings, Mrs. Sinha." "We were about to have the tea." "You must join us, too." " I've good news for you, Mrs. Sinha." " Really?" " I have news of your daughter." " Have you found her?" " Please sit down." " Did you find her?" "I thought that Sahil had forcibly run away with your girl." "The truth is that she has left with him, on her own." "How can that be?" "!" "It's true." "You hid the truth from me, although you knew everything." " What are you trying to say?" " The tea, sir." "I don't know what you've been planning on the sly." "But the truth is that you have lied to me." "And a man normally lies under two kinds of situations." "Either when he is in danger or when he wants to keep a secret." "How much sugar would you like?" "...how much of sugar?" "You will be happy to know that your son is not the murderer." " What?" " I told you!" "Sahil wouldn't do that." "He is a victim of circumstances." "He is innocent." "Is Sahil really innocent?" "Who is the real killer?" "The hunt is on, Mr. Diwan." "We'll find him." "These are the Kashmiri daggers used in the murders." "These daggers are part of a set." "Daggers like this are normally sold in sets of sixes and sevens." "I must find out which set these daggers belong to." "Can you tell me something about them, Mr. Diwan?" "Take a careful look." "Go on..." "Don't beat around the bush." "Come to the point." "How do I put it?" "This is an old habit." "I have all the bad habits." "For instance, I got into your house, without your permission." "I made tea for myself and looked around the place." "You have a nice house." "But this particular picture has landed me in a dilemma." "What can the picture of a sinking ship in your house mean?" " Are you a pessimist?" " No." "Go and fetch me a packet of cigarettes, Neelkanth." "You interpret the picture wrongly, because you haven't looked carefully." "I'm an optimist." "Look closely." "The ship is fighting against the storm and sailing towards the shore." "I don't think so." "Your ship is sinking, Mr. Diwan!" "In fact, it has already sunk!" "Those daggers are part of this set!" "Your husband's killer is standing before you, Mrs. Sinha!" "What?" "!" "Ishwar?" "!" "You?" "You killed my husband!" "Yes." "I've killed him!" " But why?" " I was helpless!" "The Governor refused to accept his daughter as his son's bride." "Years of loyalty had been wasted!" "He was not given the status he sought!" "So he killed his master!" "I was blinded in my love for my daughter!" "But why did you kill Dr Gandhi?" "Dr Gandhi was going to tell Sahil the truth!" "I got to his place before Sahil could and killed him, too!" "What had we thought you to be!" "And what are you really?" "!" "Beware!" "Do not try to stop me!" "I'm an optimist!" "I've killed twice!" "I can kill again!" "Don't compel me to shoot you!" "Leave the kid alone!" "Drop your gun!" "Go on!" "Let me go!" "Believe me, son!" "I have not committed the murders!" "Speak the truth!" "Or you will go straight to hell!" "The Minister is speaking the truth, Sahil." " Leave him alone." " Yes." "Leave me alone!" " The killer has been found." " The real killer?" "!" "How did it happen?" "And when?" "You ought to thank Inspector Udham Singh for finding the real killer." "You don't need to run away now." "You're a free man." " But who is the real killer?" " It's not me!" "I swear!" "I have not committed the murder!" "Who is it?" "It wouldn't be right to utter the name here." "We don't need to hide anything from Isha." "Speak up, Sheetal!" "The truth will be a terrible blow for her." "What is it, after all?" "Tell me... who is the killer?" "It's her father..." "Ishwar Diwan." "What are you talking about?" "!" "She's lying!" "The bitch!" "Hasn't she shown her true colors?" "The envious bitch!" "But remember!" "Sahil belongs only to me!" "Udham Singh has arrested your father with the proof!" "He has even confessed to his crime!" "Go to the police station, if you can't believe me!" "Your father is now in police custody." "No!" "This can't be true!" "My father could never do this!" "He couldn't ever kill someone!" "This is a lie!" "A bloody lie!" "Isha!" "Wait!" "Please, Sahil..." "leave me alone for the moment." "I love you very much and you belong only to me!" "I can't understand why Diwan would kill my dad." "Isha is looking for the answer to the question, too." "Which is why she has gone to meet her father." "Go home, Sahil." "Your mother is worried about you." "Why are you quiet, mother?" "Say something." "You ought to be happy." "The police will now set Sahil free." "He will now live with us." "Mother... are you still angry with me?" "I'm angry with myself..." "I have misunderstood you." "It was Ishwar who committed the murder... and I accused you!" "Please forgive me, my son!" "Forget the past, mother." "Forgive me, son!" "It's fun drinking after the game is over, Neelkanth!" "You're right!" "It's like full value for money!" "The game is not over yet!" "We still have a bottle left!" "Come in, Sahil." "There's a strong wind outside." "You've had enough!" "What are you up to, Pandu?" "No!" "Like the boss, I will do one thing at a time today!" "I'm going to get drunk!" "Brother!" "May I take this?" "The locket is still a riddle." "Okay... go and play with it." " The weather's very bad, okay?" " Yes." "Terrible weather." "It's time you guys left." " Will you be able to drive it?" " Sure." "You've had a lot to drink!" "I've opened the locket, Sahil!" " Go ahead and play with it." " Look what's inside it!" " Stop bothering me!" " Come and take a look." "All right." "Here I come." "You need to give it a push." "Not there, idiot!" "Come behind me!" "Push the bike!" "Not me!" "You?" "!" "Pushing the bike is not going to help." "Let the bike be there." "Let's spend the night here." "We're cops." "We can't spend the night on the pavements!" "Let's sleep here, since the bike is not starting up." "Let's have another drink, too!" "Rush to the police station!" "I'll summon an ambulance!" "The locket?" "!" "Even the police couldn't find the locket!" "Where did you find it?" "You can't hide a murder." "That's my locket!" "How much more will you shield your daughter?" "I will!" "Till as long as I live!" "I'm her father!" "Besides, there's nothing wrong with my daughter." "She only has a nasty temper..." "but she was like this as a kid." "She loses her temper, only when someone scolds you." "D'you remember how Dr Gandhi's dog had bitten you as a child?" "It was found dead the next day." "Isha had killed it." "Yes!" "And Dr Gandhi said, since she was not mentally balanced she be sent away to a boarding school." "They sent her away, despite my protests." "Dr Gandhi had done that deliberately." "He wanted to separate the two of you." "Your father wanted that, too." "But destiny willed otherwise!" "You met in the college and your love blossomed." "And when you held her hand before everyone at the party her confidence received a boost." "She went mad with joy." "But Dr Gandhi and your father rejected her the very next day." "What is your status anyway?" "D'you want me to sacrifice my son for your happiness?" "This idiot knows everything!" "But he still wants me to..." "Diwan!" "It's better to compromise, when you can't find a solution." "I begged of your father for my daughter's happiness." "I pleaded with him and fell at his feet for my daughter's happiness!" "But he wouldn't listen to me!" "I was humiliated and thrown out." "She had gone berserk with hatred and rage!" "I won't spare him for this!" "Who does he think he is?" "Who the hell is he?" "I'll kill him!" "I'll kill him!" "Let me go, Dad!" " No, my child..." "Don't!" " Leave me alone!" "Why?" "!" "Tell me why don't you leave us alone?" "Why do they want to separate me from Sahil?" "Tell me... why must I let them live?" "I had panicked to see my daughter shattered like this." "The shock of being separated from you was killing her!" "I thought she would somehow bear the shock." "But she killed your father in a fit of rage." "She did all this for your sake, son." "She wanted you for herself." "But you came to be accused for the murder." "And she had lost you again." "Her world was shattered and she decided to speak the truth." "Don't stop me!" "I will surrender to the police and save Sahil's life." "Sahil will never marry you, once he gets to know the truth!" "Then what am I to do?" "Why did you do all this, to begin with?" "!" "I don't know the reason." "They separated me from Sahil in childhood." "And when Sahil was accepting me at the party the Governor landed a slap on the face of our love!" "It was Sahil who held the dagger then..." " Had only I held the dagger..." " No, dear!" "Be patient!" "For God's sake!" "I'll find a way out." "And when you met her after escaping from jail she did not want to lose you at any cost." "But Dr Gandhi had started suspecting Isha." "And since he was going to reveal the truth to you lsha killed him, too." "What have you done?" "Another murder to hide one?" "I can kill a hundred men for Sahil." "I will kill anyone who dares to come between us!" "Come to your senses!" "Before the police arrive, you must escape!" "You must take Sahil and go away to some faraway place!" "I made the mistake of being silent, although I knew everything." "I kept it all a secret." "Because Isha is my only child..." "and I love her very much." "I'm willing to atone for the sins Isha has committed." "Let me serve a sentence instead of her." "This has been a secret..." "and please keep it a secret." "You can't use blood to adorn your daughter's forehead." "You're locked in here!" "And I thought you'd fled!" "What happened?" "Another half-murder!" "Someone has stabbed Udham Singh!" "The killer is here." "Who could have stabbed him?" "Go, Sahil!" "Go and stop Isha!" "Go on!" "What makes you call me?" "Who else is at home right now?" "My parents are out." "I'm all alone." "I can't see the servants around." "But why did you ask?" " What happened, Sheetal?" " There's a power-failure." " It's very dark out here." " There's going to be a storm." "Shut the doors and windows and don't let anyone inside." "I'll be there soon." "Isha!" "You gave me a scare!" " Were you talking to Sahil?" " Yes." " What brings you here?" " I've come to apologize, Sheetal." "I spoke a lot of nonsense to you this morning." "I misbehaved with you." "I wonder what had gotten into me." "Please forgive me." "Why apologize?" "In your shoes, perhaps I'd have done the same." "No, you wouldn't." "I'm one of a kind." "Well then... have you forgiven me?" "Okay, I have." "Is that enough?" "Wait till I shut the door." "You need not worry." "I've already shut the door." "Nobody can get in." "I've never seen such a storm." "Someone's going to land in trouble." "You love Sahil very much, don't you?" "Let's not talk about it." "Tell me... to what lengths can you go for Sahil's sake?" "I don't understand." "I want to see what limits your friendship extends to." "Please!" "Let's not talk about this." "I want to know what you can do for Sahil." "I can lay down my life for him." "There lies the difference between you and me." "I can lay down my life for Sahil, too." "But only to have him for myself." "I can even kill those who come between us!" "If there is anyone between Sahil and me, it's only you." "What madness is this?" "What are you up to, mister?" "You can't leave!" "What are you doing, sir?" "You can't do this!" "You're hurt, Sahil!" "What happened?" "Where is Sheetal?" "Where is she?" "Save me, Sahil!" "She's scared without reason." "Ask her to come out." "Don't let her mislead you, Sahil!" "She has gone mad!" "She has a dagger!" "She wants to kill me!" "A dagger?" "Where is it?" "Come out, Sheetal." "You don't understand, Sahil!" "She's gone mad!" "Should you have faith in me..." "come out, Sheetal." "Save me, Sahil!" "Don't ever be separated from me!" "Isha!" "Drop the dagger!" "No, Sahil!" "Leave me alone!" "Let me pierce it through her heart!" "Let me go!" "Just this once, Sahil!" "Don't be crazy, Isha!" "Let me go... just this once!" "Why did you do all this, Isha?" "It was for you, Sahil..." "It was only to have you!" "But please don't hate me!" "We've loved each other since we were kids, haven't we?" "I've always belonged to you, Isha!" "Only to you." "I couldn't trust my fate..." "Hold me close to your bosom, Sahil!" "Embrace me!" "Lord Shiva!" "You alone are you my savior!" "Hail Lord Shiva!" "Relax, Minister... nothing will happen to you." "I have a couplet for the bad condition you are in." ""Why will a minister die, when the whole hospital looks after him?"" "The poet in bandages!" "They got beaten up for nothing!" "The real killer turned out to be someone else!" "Friends!" "Lead a comfortable life in the hospital!" "Don't get into such a mess again." "Or we meet again; after the thrashing you receive!"
