" I got home quite late too" ""when I woke up, I saw my wife leaving with my brother-in-law"" "I asked her where she was going." "She said..." ""You're away on duty all night." "I feel scared all alone"" ""If you can't take care of me, I'd rather live with my brother"" "I'll return when you nab the killer" ""She left with the child." " She hasn't divorced you, has she?"" ""Catch the killer, if you want your wife back"" "Stop kidding." " I'm not kidding what I say is right" "Mister..." "You were in prison yesterday." "How come you're here today?" "what are you doing?" "Sorry for the delay" "who's that?" "who is that?" "who are you?" ""That was him." "I'm so scared, Vijay"" "Just a minute..." ""Inspector Vijay Singh, Special Branch"" "I want to know where the last 2 calls to 669-0460 originated from we'll get to know" "Public telephone on M.G. Road" "where was it from?" " Public telephone" "But it's close to Aryan's house" "whom was that for?" ""Some blank caller, he just breathes into the phone"" "The lives of your brother and his wife are in danger" ""Much as he refuses to acknowledge it, you must convince your brother..."" "that living in that house is risky." "You must send him to someplace safe" ""If he still refuses, I will have to use force." "Try to make him see reason"" "Come doctor" "You're perfectly safe here." "Right behind is the police training centre" ""And ahead, the police headquarters." "The road is always patrolled"" "The only path of ingress is always under surveillance" ""For the first time, I have left my house for a strange place"" ""In strange environs, life begins to seem strange too"" "Like a tree transplanted" "How long do I live here?" " Not for long" ""we'll nab the killer soon." "Trust us, we're trying our best"" "And I'll try to preserve my confidence in the police" "It's been a fortnight." "The killer is still at large" ""I'm worried about Jyoti, not for myself"" "where's Malik?" " Downstairs." "Let's go" "Mr. Malik is a commando with the 7th Paramilitary" "You'll be perfectly comfortable as long as he is here" "what worse discomfort than being thrown out of home?" "Strange!" "Dr. Arjun says he'll try to preserve his confidence in the police" "Stop that rattling" ""The assassin won't tell the police where his hideout is, will he?"" "My brother never meant that" ""The point is, the police is expected to apprehend criminals at the soonest"" "Looking for this criminal is like looking for a needle in a haystack we're paid to look for needles. we're police. we aren't people" ""People respect this uniform." "Find the needle, preserve the respect"" "The killer must be in these slums" "They think the poor are thieves and murderers" "It's our duty to find them" ""By Allah, if I get my hands on him, I'm going to knife him like a goat"" "what happened?" "That's Malik" "Come" ""No, I don't want to sleep"" ""Sit, sit with me"" "I'm so scared!" "He's going to kill me!" ""It's as if he's groping for me in the dark, like his knife's on my neck"" "It's so silent out there" "As if I'm waiting for my death while the world sleeps" ""No one's asleep." "I'm awake, Malik is awake"" "Don't leave me." " I'm not going anywhere" ""Jyoti, if something happens to you, it'll kill me"" "I feel safe only as long as I'm in your arms" ""Silly, not the arms, it's the conviction that one trusts"" "Go to sleep." " I can't sleep" ""I'll put you off to sleep, I'll sing a lullaby for you"" ""Come to think of it, it won't put you off to sleep, it'll stir you awake"" "Come" ""All these years, I slept like a baby with my head on your bosom"" ""As a wife you have loved, like a mother you have cared for me"" ""That a wife could be as caring as a mother, I found out from you"" ""But now, I'm kind of scared"" "As scared as a child of the demons in his nightmares" ""Don't talk like that, you'll scare me worse"" "The night will end in a dawn of waking birds and waking dreams" ""And if I find you're still in bed, fast asleep, looking like a slob..."" "I'll splash a pail of water on you and you'll scream" "It's no one" "I was just joking with my wife" "Done?" " Yes sir" "working day and night?" "Good what happened?" " Just put your commando to test" "And I'm the worse for it." " It might cost you dearly where's Jyoti?" " Indoors." "Come in" ""what have you cooked?" " Nothing special, toast"" "Only toast?" " Jam or butter?" ""Look at Arjun, he made the glass plate the butt of his jokes"" "You'd better talk to him about that." "Never takes anything I say seriously" "Always joking." " And he thinks I'm still a kid what's wrong with your eyes?" " I'm too scared to sleep at night" "By now the killer must've escaped" "Two murders." "And both were Aryan's girlfriends what might the killer's grouse be?" "Aryan is extracting mileage out of him what might he have against Aryan?" " That's what I got to find out" ""All last night I kept vigil, but he never ventured out"" "Don't go by Arjun's opinion." "And don't you trust Aryan what's being talked in whispers?" " Allegations against you" ""what makes you think Vijay is a boy?" " Okay, he's a big boy from now on"" "Just show me you can do this. - what if I can?" "Then you're my big brother." " Done?" "Done." " You're witness" "Cross your fingers" "Hold your nose and twist" "Twist" "No fumbling." "Just cross and twist" "Like this" "Stop behaving like kids." " Not for nothing I call you kiddo" ""Always conjuring up tricks. - when you can't, you complain"" "Make sure you keep at it all day." " How silly" "Just go back to your patients." " Get home quick" "And take care." " You too." "Also take care of the kid" "Like this." " This way" "Yes go on." " There's a kind of deep seated fear" ""I want to talk about it." " Yes, what's the problem?"" ""Ever since she was 22 and I was 16, we've been in love." "It's been 20 years"" ""I mean, when she was 16 and I was 22." " You must've looked quite different?"" ""Not to go by my appearance." "In my college days, I was quite dapper"" "Lots of girls were after me." "I never looked at anyone else but her" ""But when it comes to getting married, we're apprehensive, when we hear..."" ""of couples divorced, quarreling, disturbed." "The apprehension..."" "is about love ceasing to be." "But now after so many years... we're thinking we should get married. we're here looking for a solution... to our apprehensions." " Look Mr. Dhanwani... matrimony is the forbidden fruit. whether you bite the apple or not... you can only regret." "Better savour it and then regret it" "Get married" ""Send me an invitation, quick. when are you sending it to me?"" "Very soon." "That's why we consulted you." "I'll see you with the invitation" "How about a game?" " No." "First of all..." "I'd like to present my charming lady with a token of my affections." "May I?" "The beauty that every blossom and every star is envious of... the radiance that makes the Moon jealous... the smile that shames the day into hiding behind the night" "Are you raving?" " Your sister-in-law is so unromantic!" "Right in front of your kid brother?" "How unabashedly shameless" ""Sorry I forgot." "Kid, you never heard, did you?"" ""No, I was concentrating here"" "what a guy!" "I'm talking romance." "Do you lecture Deepa on law?" "Stop talking nonsense. what childishness is this?" "You call me a child?" "See my muscles?" "Feel for yourself and ask your brother-in-law..." ""if he cares for an arm-wrestling match." " Forget it, you'll lose"" ""Are you challenging me?" "Hold on, this is a matter of prestige"" "I'll get you something to eat while you're at it" ""Come on, mind the pool." " An arm wrestler scared of water?"" "what to do?" "That's destiny." " Ready?" "Ready" ""Use force, kid"" "Arms behind your back. - why?" "You're using your body weight. - what body weight?" ""No, arms behind your back." "Like me"" "You lost" "what's the matter?" "You took it badly?" ""Not at all." "Kiddo, now you're a big boy"" "You can take care of the family" "I was fibbing when I called you kid." "I won't call you a kid ever again what a thing to say" ""To tell you the truth, I don't mind it a bit when you call me kid"" ""Deep down inside, I'm happy to know that my brother is so protective"" "I don't remember Daddy." "You're the father I ever knew" "I'd like to remain a son to you." "Don't deny me that right" ""Still no clue about the killer. - worse, I'm getting nightmares"" "which means you sleep on night duty while I keep awake?" "Sit" ""No sir, I'm not supposed to sit in your presence"" "Come on" "You're ready to die for me and you don't care about socialising with me?" "How many kids?" " I'm not married why?" " Shall I tell you the truth?" "I don't think women are worth keeping." "Just use-and-throw objects" "Consider it a diet." "Variety keeps a man virile and vigorous" ""wonderful philosophy." " You mind, sir?"" ""No, you just took a burden off my chest"" ""what a misuse of a commando, I've been telling myself"" "I've been thinking the same" "You'll be rid of me very soon" ""Excuse me, my wife is waiting"" "what's on your mind?" " Nothing what are you looking at?" " Your eyes" "Your eyes always give away what you try to hide" ""You're going to dislike what I'm about to say, but I will say it"" ""It's the bitter truth, but you got to hear it"" ""In the eyes you see the world, I see life"" ""Vijay, all the lights are out." "Pin-drop silence"" ""Stay here, let me take a look"" "Aryan isn't at home." "This is a sure sign of danger" "where is he gone?" "Listen..." "listen..." "Listen... where are you?" "where are you?" "what happened?" "Murder" "One minute... wait... tell me" "Corpse. - where?" "Let's go inside" "It's nothing." "Sit." " The commando..." "There's no one." " Killed the commando what...?" " He'll kill me too" "No none's going to kill you." " He's right here" ""Not he, I killed the commando"" ""Not some psycho, I killed him"" "You...?" "You expect some answers from me and I expect some answers from you" "Have tea" "Drink it" ""Relax, I'll give you all the answers"" ""Jyoti, this is no tale." "It's a burning tale of the life that I have lived"" ""After my parents died, I raised my kid brother." "Years passed me by"" ""For me, it was a lifetime devoted to my brother"" "In him I wanted to realise my dreams" ""Then came your father, proposing marriage to you"" "You were many years my younger." "I refused but he insisted" "I don't know what compelled you to approve" ""when I heard that you approved, I wanted to live life again"" "I was elated" "Your tea is getting cold" ""Five years into the marriage, we still didn't have a child"" "I concluded there must be some shortcoming" ""while in Delhi on business, I got myself a check up"" "The doctor said..." "I can enjoy a conjugal life but I cannot father a child" ""After I returned, you gave me the good news." "You had conceived"" "That destroyed me." "The only question on my mind was... who is the father of this child?" "I always trusted everyone. whom could I suspect?" ""To get to the truth, I used the ruse of the seminar"" "I watched you getting dressed for dropping me to the airport" ""I told myself, Arjun Singh she isn't yours"" ""After you dropped me, I followed you"" "You headed straight for your lover" "You know..." ""I always wanted to marry someone like you, handsome, smart, virile"" "Perhaps it Arjun's wealth that impressed me so much... that I agreed to marry a man years older than I am" "when he touches me..." "I despise it" "As if a beast is tearing me apart" ""Had I not found you, I might've walked out on him by now"" "In a moment it seemed life was bereft of meaning" ""I could've divorced you easily, I didn't care for social sanction"" ""But it was my brother I cared for." "In his eyes, you were a mother"" "I didn't want a mother to fall from grace" ""For four days, I wandered like a madman, far from this city"" ""After I returned, I wouldn't let you know the reality"" ""In the jail, the insane convict broke three and a half years of silence"" "Poured out his heart to me." "And his closing statement was..." ""Doctor, do you know why I told you what I'd never speak of my broken life?"" "Because today you look just like me" ""The light in your eyes has gone out, your composure is gone"" ""Must've been a heavy blow doctor, you look hurt"" "I came home and rationally I visualised the future" ""I was aghast, at how easily you lead a life of duplicity"" "I too took to deceit" "I promised myself day and night to pay you for your deception" ""The next time I met the madman, I said..."" "No better a way to get even." "You should be released" "You concede?" " Certainly" "I'm certain the crime wasn't yours" ""Listen to me, carefully"" "Tomorrow you will have another seizure" "I will give you the wrong injection" "You will feign a faint" "You will come to when everyone else has fallen asleep" "You will kill anyone who comes in your way" "I like your modus operandi" "A cruel death" ""Before leaving, I left him with duplicate keys, scalpel and gloves"" "He turned out to be a man of his convictions." "Killed three wardens" "And I found him where he promised he'd be" "Here you are doctor" ""I did just as you said." "I killed three wardens and I marked them "x"" "Am I free now?" " Completely free" "Take this and go someplace far away" ""Thank you doctor." " Don't thank me, thank God"" ""True story, bit startling though"" "Then I buried him" ""On my way back, I met Shefali"" ""where are you going, so late at night?"" "I had gone to see Aryan why mess with him?" "He's a playboy." "Yes he's a friend of mine" ""But I warn you, get out of there." "He is too generous with his affections"" "Doesn't spare a girl." "Keep to your man." " I hate Rakesh." "I can't live with him" ""Your life, you decide." "Can I drop you home?"" ""No thanks, I'll manage." " Let me know when you're home"" "I thought I could kill her to keep the legend of the lunatic alive" ""I came home, I gave you a wrong dose"" "Have you taken the medicine?" " what medicine?" "The pink tablet" "It gave you a stomach ache" "I'm hurting. - what happened?" "I'm hurting in the belly" "I went out to buy an injectable" "I'll be back in fifteen minutes or so." "I'm going to buy medicine" "Take care of her" "I'll put you through a bit of trouble at this hour of the night" "watching someone fall from grace is the worst experience" "I spared Shefali her disgrace" "And Devyani?" ""That evening at the engagement, she slapped Aryan"" ""That night, I told you..."" "whatever happened to Aryan wasn't a nice thing to happen" ""All said and done, he's a friend." "Yes, he has some vices"" "He's a womaniser." "But he's good at heart" "But I despise his habit of cheating women" ""He should men his ways." " After that public showdown, he will"" ""I felt so bad." "He must be feeling wretched, lonely as he is"" ""He's emotional, he must be sad." " Must be"" "As you sow so you reap." "You got to pay for your mistakes" "Let's pay him a visit." "It'll boost his morale" "At this time?" " So what?" ""No, I'm tired." "Go alone if you must"" ""Come on..." " Not now, I'm tired"" "Let me look him up." " Get back soon." "I worry for you" "I'll be back soon." "Kiddo is at home" ""Had you said yes, I would've said no let's go tomorrow morning"" ""Fortunately, you said no"" "I used the chance to go to Devyani's house" "Mr. Arjun...?" "At this time?" ""No problem, come in"" ""Come, sit"" "You smoke?" " At times" "whatever happened tonight was no good" "I wanted to tell you something about Aryan" "I've forgotten him." " Your face doesn't say that" "It isn't easy to forget love." " His love was a deception" "He was just using me" ""Look Devyani, no one knows what a relationship means"" ""All relationships are selfish." "But to live life, you need relationships"" "Aran isn't evil." "He's amenable to reason" "I'll talk to him." " To what end?" "He will marry you." " Are you certain?" "Absolutely" ""Call him." "Say you made a mistake." "Call him over, right now"" "Don't tell him I'm here." "Then he won't come." "He's scared of me" "Devyani here" "Yes Devyani?" "You got anything more to tell me?" " I made a mistake." "Forgive me" ""If you have ended the relationship, it's time you ended the call"" "No Aryan." "I have realised I can't live without you" "I want to see you." "Please come over" ""After the slap, you want to give me a bit of love too?"" ""Not little, lots." "Are you coming over?"" "You know that you are my weakness." "I'm coming over" "He's coming." "But I don't think he's going to marry me" ""If you had such faith in matrimony, why did you walk of the first marriage?"" "I never liked him." "Some men are unlovable" "Yet they have hearts." " Such hearts deserve to be broken" ""Anyway, what would you like to have?" "Tea or coffee?"" "what would you like to have?" "Tea or coffee?" "Coffee." " Right away" "How much sugar?" " One spoon" ""Mr. Arjun, I'm grateful. - what for Devyani?"" ""Between friends, one must."" "I owe Aryan." "Got to pay him back" "It was to scare you that I went in looking for the shopping list" "It was there right inside my pocket." "I went inside... and crossed out your face and mine" ""Sit, I'll be back"" "Guess what happened this afternoon?" "wonderful place." "So quiet where are we?" "weren't we going somewhere?" ""No, this will do." "This place is peaceful"" "I'm fed up of the police" ""Aryan, someday or the other, life always settles scores"" "No idea" "I've enjoyed my life." "Life and I have no complaints with each other" "Has life ever deceived anyone?" "I'm a philanderer." "I'm not a traitor" ""But I'm a good man." " Of course, my good man"" "But God calls the good souls" "Sit." "Over there" "I killed him when you were asleep" "You were asleep." "That's when I killed him" "Sit" ""All night out in the cold." "Suffering, for nothing"" "Relax" "Move it" "Take him in" "The lunatic has even killed Aryan" "You must be wondering why I killed so many just to kill Aryan" "I was beginning to despise treachery" "Shefali and Devyani." "They were wayward" "They were cheating their men" "I didn't like what Malik had to say about women" "It was a woman who drove that convict mad." "Like you did to me" ""Yes kid, tell me"" "Looks like the lunatic has killed Aryan" "Really?" "where's Jyoti?" " She's asleep what's that voice?" " Hers" ""I told you, she kicks like a horse." "She moans in her sleep"" ""Is everything all right?" " Yes, how long will be be?"" "we're leaving." "I'll be there in 15 or 20 minutes" "You want to talk to Malik?" " No" ""But you stay alert." "I'm coming over." " Take care, kid"" "He just didn't react to Aryan's death." "He sounded strange." "Something's wrong" "I loved you so dearly" "You were more precious to me than my life" "You were as precious to me as my brother" "what was my mistake?" "In what have I erred?" "Can't you forgive me?" "Just for once?" ""Beware, lest your wives breed sin"" ""For in the lust of adulterous women races are bastardised"" "I'm not letting that lunatic get away"
