"What is the matter?" "There are men after me." "They want to kill me." "What...?" " It's a misunderstanding." "I'll be there in an hour." "What happened?" ""Your place at Hauz Khas?" "C'mon, it's only for a day or two!"" ""No, I can't go there." "And you know that well."" ""Sarika, where are you staying?"" ""What is the matter, Karan?" " Nothing."" "Kamlesh called to say that you had run away from jail." "Didn't you contact me?" " I did." ""l called Kamlesh's house so many times, but no one takes the phone."" "Then I got to know that he had fallen off the balcony and died." "He didn't die on his own." "He was killed." "Killed?" "Who killed him?" "The same guys who want to kill me." ""After you went to jail, I got trapped with the underworld."" "Kamlesh and I were gathering evidence to save you." "They got to know and they killed Kamlesh." "They've framed me for someone's murder too." "I can't even go to the police now." ""So what are you going to do, Karan?"" "That which I must do to save my skin." "I'll have to" ""I'm with you, Karan."" ""Having spent time in jail, I've learnt to fight back too."" "A jail-mate got me this place." "It's absolutely safe." "Yes?" "You've done it for me?" "It's Bilal who killed him and vanished with the money." "They'll say anything!" "I want Bilal all alone." "That's it." ""What will you do with where I am, Amrish?"" "Can you do it for me?" "or can't you?" "Who are these men that are following you?" ""I'll explain everything to you later, Sarika."" ""You have a cell-phone charger?" " oh yes, I'll give it to you."" ""Karan, for a little while..."" "can't you forget all this?" "Give him the phone." "Hurry up." ""Call his place, go there or do what you will..."" "all I want to know is where is Bilal." ""How many men does he have?" "You can do this much, can't you?"" "Call me back soon." ""Where will you go, Karan?"" "I have a friend in Jaipur." "They have a huge mansion." ""We can get a car, money..." "everything there."" ""Let's go someplace faraway from here, Karan. okay?"" "Yes?" "What?" "!" ""You hate me." " What... are you saying, Karan?"" "You will go to Bilal and tell him that you hate me." "He will believe what you say." "You will tell him where I am hiding." "I want Bilal all alone." "And only you can do it for me." "But who is Bilal?" "The owner of three factories." "A garment exporter." "But he's definitely an underworld man." "The bodies we found in the hotel were his men." "But what has all this to do with your case?" "Where will I find Bilal?" "I want to meet Mr Bilal." "Yes?" " I want to have a word with him." "There's a girl outside." "She says she knows where Karan is." "Where is Karan?" "Sit down." "And what did you think?" "Your men could kill me?" "or that I'd run away from Delhi out of fear?" "It was a fantastic move." "But you picked on the wrong man." ""Where is Marfatia's money, Bilal?"" ""What?" " Money, rupees... where is it?"" "You're insane!" "Hurry up!" " How'd I know where the money is" "You don't know where the money is?" " You must tell me." "You're the one who has the money." ""l don't have much time, Bilal."" "I see." "You're high on pot." "You're the one who killed Sanjeev." "And you stole the money!" ""lf I had killed Sanjeev, why would I come here?"" "Think about it!" "Why would I come here?" "If you haven't killed Sanjeev..." ""it means there was someone else present there, that night"" "Who?" "Who...?" " How'd I know who?" "Let me talk to brother." "Let me telephone him." "I'll tell him that you didn't commit the murder" "I'll kill you and the money won't be any good for you" "Give me the money and run away." "I'm giving you a chance." "The money is not with me!" " So you won't talk?" "You won't tell me?" "I'll tell you..." "I will." "Get up... move it!" "Nobody's answering the phone at Bilal's." "Check what the problem is." ""At once, brother."" "Hold it!" ""Mr Karan Rathod, we find dead-bodies everywhere you go."" ""l don't know anything, madam." "I had come here to meet Mr Bilal."" "But I found these bodies." "And then you arrived suddenly... and I thought..." " Where is Sarika?" "Sarika who?" "I don't know." "Don't you live together in the hotel?" " In the hotel?" "No." " Why?" "Isn't it living together when you stay in opposite rooms?" "Remember now?" "Sarika who?" "The one who ran away from the Bombay prison?" "The same Sarika who murdered Kamlesh Mathur." "Why would Sarika murder Kamlesh Mathur?" "Isn't it living together when you stay in opposite rooms?" "The same Sarika who murdered Kamlesh Mathur." "Killed?" "Who killed him?" ""lf you haven't killed Sanjeev, it means..."" "there was someone else present there that night." "Are you all right?" " I'm all right." "Although I felt for a moment that we'd never meet again." ""Karan, we must get out of this place immediately."" ""one second, Sarika." "I need to talk to you."" ""You faced a lot of problems because of me, but you're still helping me"" "Why?" ""I'm in love with you, Karan."" "Will you marry me?" ""Karan, the police are after me..."" "and you're being followed by..." "We must leave." "You didn't answer my question." " Karan...?" ""You love me, don't you?" " oh yes, Karan."" ""We'll go to Nepal." "And from there, we'll go away to Europe."" "My mother lives there." "I haven't met her in years." "I want to meet her with you." "only tell me... where the money is" "I know" ""Where is the money, Sarika?"" "Where is the money?" "Where is it?" "I won't ask again." "Where is the money?" "How did you kill Kamlesh?" "And how did you kill Sanjeev?" "Quite a revelation you've turned out to be." ""That you could be so spicy, I never realised when I had you."" ""The first time I met you, I only wanted to sleep with you."" ""But I now think, I must really fall in love once"" "Where is the money?" "What's this?" "Huh?" "You wanted to kill me?" "So here you are." "Kill me." "You've learnt so much in jail." "Take it!" "No?" "Where is the money?" ""Tell me where the money is, Sarika." "Else, I'll kill you."" "Burnt" "Loudly!" "I burnt it!" " Lies!" "You are lying!" "I'm speaking the truth!" "I'm the one who killed Sanjeev!" ""l took the money, ran away from there and burnt the money!"" ""Because I knew, they wouldn't spare you!"" ""l wanted them to catch you, to follow you..."" ""to torture you, to put you through misery..."" "And so you burnt the money?" " Yes!" "Have you gone mad?" " I went mad... in jail!" ""I'm sorry, Karan." "But I've burnt the money."" ""What can I do now, Karan?" "What?" "I'll do anything you say!"" "I had gone mad with rage!" "Please don't kill me!" ""I'll do anything you say, Karan." "Anything..."" "This is exactly what you will go and tell Nanda." "She went to jail because of me." "So she wanted revenge from me." "And poor Sanjeev had to lose his life." "Speak up!" "Tell brother!" "Speak!" " Sir..." ""sir, I haven't killed anyone."" "I haven't killed anyone." "I was in love with this man." "But he was with another woman in the hotel." "He drove me out..." "Let her speak." "I was returning Mumbai." "He suddenly landed at my place last night... and said he wanted a place to hide." "He said he had ended up killing someone." ""That the underworld was after him." "Karan, please..."" ""Brother, she's lying!"" "Lies!" "And then he said that if I took the rap... he'd give me a lot of money." ""And when I refused to do it, he tied me up and brought me here."" "Save me from him!" "Please!" "She's the one who killed Kamlesh." "The Bombay police is after her!" "You can telephone and find out." "Who Kamlesh?" ""l didn't even know the gentleman, sir."" "Why would I kill him?" "This man..." "She's talking any nonsense and you're listening to her!" ""Ask her where the money is!" "She says, she has burnt it!"" ""Burnt it...?" "Why would anyone burn anyone's money, sir?"" ""Have you gone mad, Karan?" " I'll slit your tongue!"" "Why would anyone burn money?" "Has this man gone mad...?" ""Enough!" " Save me from this madman, sir!"" "Save me from him!" " This one here is her gun." "I guarantee it." "This is the gun that killed Sanjeev." "Why would she kill my brother to extract revenge from you?" "Because she's crazy!" " Where is Marfatia's money?" "Ask her!" "Don't ask me!" "You will die if anyone opens fire." "So listen carefully to me." "If I had killed Sanjeev and stolen the money..." "I'd have been in Europe right now." "Not here!" "I have not killed your brother." "She has!" ""She's the one who stole the money, not me!"" "Ask her!" "She has escaped." "She has run away!" "Brother!" "The police!" "Come on out!" "Quick!" "Take a left." ""The next slug will rip through your skull, Karan"" "Take a U-turn." ""What's all this, Sarika?" " Quietly walk."" "Go on." "What are you doing...?" "What is all this?" "I thought about you in jail everyday." "What am I to do with you?" ""Now look, Sarika." "What I did to you was very wrong..."" "Mere death would be far too little for you." "I had to search so much to find this place." ""Sarika, undo this lock,."" "Miles away from the city." "Nobody comes here." "You remember...?" "I used to be scared of rats." ""Have you gone mad, Sarika?" "Where did the rats come in from?"" "You used to laugh." " Untie me!" "You used to laugh." ""ln jail, I was rid of all the fear."" "I'm not scared of anything anymore." "I ask for your forgiveness for whatever has happened." "You think I can't get out of this place?" "Karan's 1 10 million." "I've done what I had to." "Now you can do what you want to."
