"Didn't you feel any embarrassment while kidnapping me?" "You better not be sleeping anywhere near me at night!" "Q Kay" "We have been circulating Rohan's picture in the Police."

"Who is he anyways?" "I was making a fast buck out there." "We are uselessly posted here." "Kidnappers don't take their captives to bus stands." "Don't even think about it?" " About what?" "Think about Cheeku before doing anything stupid." "Look..." " One phone call to my men and Cheeku will..." "Look, you're still alive." "If you try to run, I will shoot the police first and then you." "And then I will press this button and jump in the crowd." "Everyone will be blown to bits." "You are a suicide bomber?" "Only in an emergency." "Come along." "Only Swatantra TV managed this CCTV footage from Dehradun's Champion School." "Because only we show you the truth." "The naked truth." "If everything is fine.." "..then what was the Joint-Director of OBI, Nachiket Verma looking for?" "He was looking for Rohan." "Our News is verified." "The Nation is being kept in the dark."

"Have you seen this man anywhere?" "Nothing so far." "Did anyone say anything in the interrogation?" "L-low can we be certain the man was alone'?" "Let's say one of them abducted him.." "..the kid could have been passed on in a chain." "There can be others." "Then how will we catch them'?" "The answer to your 'how' is 'why"?" "'Why' he was abducted, will tell us 'who' abducted him."

"Did you mention this to anyone." "I had to tell my wife." "She is suspicious by nature." "When she asked where I was off to so late, I had to tell her." "You'd know the nature of women." "Anyone else?" "Not at all!" "I swear to God." "I had my wife swear on our son Cheeku." "..so that she does not tell her Father." "Her father is like BBC news." "ls that the expert?"

"But then how will we find him'?" "l-low will we catch him'?" "The answer to 'how' is 'why"?" "He said 'Someone opened up their big greedy mouth.'" "He lost his son in some corruption based tragedy." "Find the tragedy, and you will find the guy." "This will take a long time." "That is precisely his motive." "He wants to play." "He wants to teach us a lesson." "Let him play." "The longer he drags the affair the sooner we'll catch him." "Not this." "I have called for bottled water." "Take it.." "My mouth is on fire." "What's the point now?"

"These things take time." "We are trying our best." "Thousands of files, TV reports and.." "You will have to scan files like common people." "Or you won't be able to?" "You are not used to it." "That is why give us some time." "You are asking time to find me, not to do what I asked." "You won't find me." "Technical department must have told you why." "Then again I am a common man, and look like one." "Hovv will you find me?" "I look and dress just like the other 1.25 billion." "You won't find me." "I guarantee you that you can't find my location." "Don't waste time, get to the point!" "Did you find out why my son went missing?" "Which state are you from?" "Where did this tragedy occur?" "Now who was that?" "The attitude in the voice sounds like the Big Boss." "But something in the voice says it was a Father." "Even the Home Minister doesn't know where my son is?" "Why are we wasting each other's time?" "The list is long, if you delay like this how will we find your son'?" "That is true." "So many people must have lost their sons recently, the list must be long." "Otherwise wouldn't you've got your son back by now?" "Make some efforts." "Face hardships."

""Technical department must have told you why."" "It's confusing." "By his style of speaking, he could be from anywhere" "It's a neutral accent, he could be trained or not." "He talks like a civilian but his clarity of demand is that of a trained group." "So, he can be from any of the locations we short-listed on the basis of tragedies." "Excuse me sir."

"Thank you for the compliment." "You had said, back in the nursing home.." "Five, ten, maybe fifteen years down the line, I might start to understand." "You Know.." "I already understand some things." "Like I was never really hungry in the hostel." "But I would still run away from school." "Do you know why?" "The heavier the shackles holding us down." "..the higher we want to fly away." "I had shackles fastened tightly around my neck." "I know." "It is my job to gather party fund." "If something goes wrong in the process, then will you throw me behind bars?" "The news of your resignation and an immediate inquiry should be enough, Mr. Nimbalkar." "For now, let us give Nachiket the go ahead." "'SUPPORT Mr. JCDI-IN DCDE" " RISE NCDVV" "'JOHN DOE WILL DEBATE FOR US TODAY'" "'SUPPORT Mr. JCDI-IN DCDE" " RISE NCDVV" "Go." "Help!"

"Starting with you and your camera." "People will see the truth today." "Live!" "I have a list, and all those on the list should be here." "And they must all speak the truth or no one survives." "The rest depends on you." "First on the list, Home Minister Prashant Gosvvamy." "I am not showing you the rule book." "But we cannot let the Home Minister of India go to any such place which holds possibilities of his assassination." "If you still insist on going then we will blow up Nirma|'s building half an hour before you reach there." "He wants to play this game with the Home Minister of India." "Not with some ordinary politician." "I will submit my resignation to the PM before I go." "But for the sake of Rohan's safety," "I will request him not to make a public announcement of my resignation." "Second on the list, Pratap Singh Nimbalkar." "No, Prashant Goswamy is no kin of mine." "But if I go there and get killed, then at least my son or my son-in-law can win with the sympathy wave." "The owner of lndico, Farheed Wadia." "They can't force you." "You don't have to go!"

"..we weren't even given the vehicular traffic calculation." "Why?" "Actually." " Not you." "I am asking the contractor of the bridge." "You have built many bridges." "What went wrong?" "We made a mistake." "Mistake?" "We had to pay a lot of bribes, that is why.." "Did you bribe him?" "Did you bribe him?" "It was me!" "I took the bribe." "I took the bribe." "Loads of it."

"Many of us have these amounts." "We shared it amongst us." "So whether you are in power or not, the business of corruption continues?"
