"What reason for the sympathy?" " l can't bear to see..." ""the poor woman being widowed. ln any case, I don't quit halfway through"" "So why don't you turn yourself over to the law?" "You've had a part to play in this episode too" ""ln fact, your share is far bigger than mine"" "I can't betray you." " Have you gone mad?" "Meghna's looking out for you." "A deal with her could be expensive for you" "To save an innocent is part of my profession too" "What are you going to tell Meghna?" "Why?" "Scared already?" "Have trust in me" "Don't interfere in my work" "You have your Amrita." "So go home to bed" ""So you took money from her too?" " Yes, she paid a good price"" "And punctually too." "Not like you" "A good price she paid!" "Where did she get the money?" "It was my money!" "Mine!" "I trusted you and you show dishonesty?" "A man like you..." "You want to hit me?" "I regret!" "You are suspecting my intentions?" "But what harm can you do to me?" ""lf something happens to me, your game is up too." "Okay?"" "That pistol is still with me" "Want me to go with you?" "Are you all right?" "Hello... this is Upasana." "How are you?" ""No, not as yet." "But I'll get to know by 4 'O clock"" "What's she saying?" " Someone's blackmailing her" "Amrita herself told me." " But the testimony in court..." "He's lying!" "Harish wasn't there at all" ""You don't know anything, but I know the truth"" ""Are the witnesses liars then?" " Yes, they are lying"" "Harish didn't go to Amrita's house." " How did you get to know that?" "Harish was asleep at home." "He had returned tired I left him and went to her." " But that doesn't mean... I went there." "She was scared." "She said she was leaving the city" "Without telling anyone." "Not even Raj!" "But I had made up my mind I shot her. I killed her out of jealousy I had stolen Harish's pistol and gone to her house I shot her in the head I wrapped her body in a carpet and dragged it outside" "I then put it in a car and drove away. I..." "And the pistol?" " Pistol?" "I left the pistol by the body" "Maybe it was in the sea..." "I don't remember." "But that's the truth" "Come" ""This story isn't enough to prove Harish's innocence, Madam"" "Harish is innocent!" "He hasn't done anything" "How could he have killed her?" "I told you!" "He was asleep at home!" "See that man?" " Who?" "He's the one." "The blackmailer" "How do you know?" " He took a photo." "From my house" "That man is a beast." " l see" "We've found the killer!" "It's the blackmailer" "He was the one who killed Amrita." " How do you know?" "I know." "The old lady told me." "He's the one who killed her." "He also took your pictures" "What old lady?" "What pictures?" "What are you talking about?" "Don't you know?" "Didn't Amrita show you the pictures?" "Maybe she was scared that you'd come back to me" ""Say something, Harish"" "Tell me everything." "If you remain silent... I won't be able to do anything for you" "Do you miss her?" "No" "And me?" "Meghna..." "love alone isn't enough for me I realise that now" "To love someone is to grow old with that person I was never in love with her." "Believe me" "You're the only one I love" "I know that." "I always knew it I will take you away from here." "With me" "But she said she was going away somewhere" "What happened then?" "She had even packed her bags." "She was about to leave" "But she was killed" "She has gone away." "And I'm the one who's trapped I'll have you freed." "I'll take you home with me I'll find him and fix him" ""Be careful, Meghna." "He's a very dangerous man"" ""That man is a killer, Meghna." "He's not like us"" ""You can take Raj's help, if you wish to"" "This man who sent us the pictures." "What could he hold against Harish?" ""And we still haven't got our hands on the pistol, the weapon of murder"" "He'll squeal." "He'll tell us where he has hidden the pistol" "And Raj...?" "A man whose wife has just died... look at his face..." "I can't really swallow that" ""lt's a clear cut case." "There are two women, friends"" "One of them is having an affair with the other's husband" "The woman doesn't know that" "And suddenly in their lives comes a blackmailer" "The woman is scared." "She wants to reveal everything to her husband" ""Harish stops her. ln the melee, the pistol goes off in Harish's hands"" "It's as simple as that" "No." "The truth isn't so simple anyway" "So what twist are you looking for?" "Want me to dump all the testimony and arrest Raj instead?" "And arrest the girl who's going around claiming that she committed the murder?" "Oh no." "That poor girl..." ""Here, Das Babu..." "have some fries." "And relax"" "I have solved the case" "It's locked" ""Careful, uncle"" "Look at this lt's Harish's gun" "You?" " By chance" ""Had you not parked your car there, we wouldn't have met"" ""You were involved too, I never knew"" ""He sent you here, didn't he?"" ""Finally, the two of you are scared"" "What am I supposed to do?" "Call the police?" "That drama you enacted in the court was fantastic" "What if someone believed you?" ""Anyway, it's good when one puts his heart into everything he does"" "Did you find what you were looking for?" " Nothing important" "We found this." "Don't move" "Bloody thieves!" "All of them!" ""Come on, hurry up"" "I'm not letting you off the hook" "I've got him!" "I traced him out" "You have to believe me now." "He's got the gun too" "Here's the evidence." "Release Harish" ""Arrest him, now." "Or he'll escape"" "Come on" "What did you lack inside the lock-up?" ""What do you want from me now?" " Please help me, Raj"" ""Meghna is in danger." "She is tracking someone, alone"" "Meghna's history for you." "Forget her" ""Raj, I'm innocent." "I have done nothing"" "Really?" " Meghna is out of her mind" "Just let me hide in your house for one night" "She'll certainly come to meet me." " She's fine all alone" ""And you, in the lock-up." " l have done you wrong, Raj"" "But I did not kill Amrita" ""And why would I kill her?" "I liked her, I was in..."" "Why did you stop?" "Say it. I won't mind" ""Raj, trust me." "I didn't kill Amrita"" ""Harish, you were seen"" "People have testified against you." "That's it" ""Who's your friend?" " Don't do this, friend"" "Would I lie to you?" " Not at all" "She was the one who had falsehood running in her blood" "Now it's running within you" "You did what I was supposed to do" "That's why I forgive you." "Now get lost I won't inform the police" "Only this while" "Your gun is out of place... you have it going with that girl... then you are seen outside her house on the day she is murdered" "Are you sure you didn't do it?" "Don't try to act smart." "Think of unlocking the handcuff" "Where did you keep the gun?" " At home" "At home..." "who else had access to your gun?" "I've figured it out at last." "Do you get it?" "What?" " Your wife" ""Stop raving, okay?"" "The blackmailer is the murderer." " Praise the Lord" ""Buddy, blackmailers only blackmail people." "They don't kill"" "Wanna bet?" "It's either your wife or your friend" "Will you stop raving?" "Bloody pickpocket I could die for that" ""You are the one who robs women, and you call me a pickpocket!"" "Bastard!" "I'll teach you manners!" "Hold it" "Why did you escape?" ""Why did you do this, Harish?" "I could've saved you"" "I can do anything for you" ""Hello, sister-in-law"" ""Get in, smartass"" "You couldn't bear to see Amrita leave without being punished" "What do you mean?" " You only told me that... she was packing when you reached there." " l knew about your affair long before I still ignored it." " You plotted to kill her" ""That's when you pretended to be ill." " l didn't pretend, I was really ill"" "What about my gun?" "Only you had the access to my gun" "Let me go." " l should've figured it out long back" "Amrita wanted it." "The blackmailer had made life miserable for her" "How was I to know that you'll be trapped?" "She didn't ask you for the gun." "Or did she?" "I'm not so mean to kill that wretched female" "She was leaving just to escape you." " l already knew about your affair" ""Your lighter, meeting place..."" ""bed, sofa, mattress..."" ""your pillow, blankets, bedsheets"" ""Yet, for the sake of your love, I meekly accepted the facts"" "I could have even stripped you before Raj..." ""and screwed you." " Stop raving, witch"" "Did I send you to her?" "Did I lie naked in someone's arms?" "Did I catch you on camera?" "Did I inform the police?" "Was I sucking your blood?" "Was I blackmailing you?" "The whole world is regarding you with contempt" ""To save you, I was even ready to own up to the crime"" "And you call me a witch?" "Drop dead!" ""You will save me, eh?" "I need to save myself from you"" ""Look, you don't need to chase the blackmailer for my sake"" "You have tasted blood." "I hate the sight of you!" "Get out of my car!" " Shut up and drive" "What did you drill into her head before sending her over?" "Did I ?" "Your mind's working overtime I told you to stop being silly" "She's hunting for you" ""Greedy as you are, you thought you could find something there"" "You would even fleece a corpse lf you can kill your wife out of rage..." ""if you can falsely implicate your friend, I'm merely cannon-fodder"" "I got to be careful with you" "You'll be apprehensive only as long as I'm alive" "You are nuts." "Now pay for your sins" ""When the police reach me, I'll lead them to you"" "You forced me..." "I'm not a murderer I'm not part of the conspiracy at all I liked that woman." " Shut up" "She's history I was the one who asked her to run away" "Are you raving?" " l told her your game in detail" "You'd push the car off the cliff and pass it off as an accident" ""You'd have been happier, and she too, at the least"" "Schemer!" "Bloody traitor" "Even you turned out to be a cheat" "You are the cheat I was trying to save her from you" "She trusted me... she was scared" "She was supposed to go to Kolkata ... I'd have followed her there" ""Of the two of us, I'd have been a better choice for her"" "But you reached there before I could." "Bloodthirsty wolf!" "Bastard!" "I wish I had killed her myself I wish I had not met you." " Listen to me..." "You are the one who destroyed my life." "Get out of here" "You'll hurt yourself." "Give me the gun." " Hold it" "Stop!" "Or I'll shoot." " lt's not your cup of tea I've seen a lot of this stuff" "Hear this. ln the war of 1971 they tried to kill me" "But the bastards just couldn't kill me I can stave off death." "Look... don't be stupid." "Give me the gun." " Hold it!" "He's gone!" "Get the hell out of here. I sense trouble" "You killed uncle!" ""Stop screaming!" " Stop screaming, swine"" "Get the hell out of here." " You killed uncle" "Murderer!" "Murderer!" "Let's put him in the car" ""He's still breathing." " Wanna wait till the last, eh?"" ""Had I not been locked up with you, I'd have smashed your head"" ""As it is, he was old enough to die"" ""lf we're caught redhanded, we're done for"" ""lf the old man's destined to live, he will." "Get out of here"" "Move it!" " Shut up!" "Pick him up" "Move it!" "Come on" "Okay" "J.J Hospital." "Turn right from the Highway" ""lf you hear a shot, get inside at once"" ""Stay outside at the gate, Gaitonde"" "So you were driving recklessly" "The brakes failed" "There's an entire police force surrounding my house" "He must've surely contacted you." " How?" "I've been out since morning." "How am I to know where the poor man is?" "We didn't tell him to escape." " Trust me. I'll let you know... as soon as I have any news of him" "Bad times drew in on us yesterday" "Fate turned its back on us yesterday" "For all the great bustle in our lives... our time's up" "Move" "Time up" "Move" "What enmity do you have with us?" "Why are you after Harish's life?" " Why did he escape from the lock-up?" "You don't have even one strong evidence against him" "The entire case is laid on false testimonies" "The police is useless." "And what happens to uncle now?" "Who's sitting in that car?" ""Who's that in the car?" " lt's them I guess, sir"" "They're moving" "They're running." "Stop there!" "Get the jeep" "Hurry" "Run for your life" ""Run faster, will you?"" ""Not that way, fool"" "Run!" "Stop!" "Freeze!" "Or I'll shoot" "Night never falls in this city" "No dark nights ever" "The hustle and bustle never stops" "Can't see a star in the sky lt's as if all the stars have come down on the roads... and lined up" "The hustle and bustle will stop only when there's darkness" "The city never stops" ""When we were little, we used to sleep on the roofs"" "The intense darkness of those moonless nights come to mind" "Pull over." "Let me check" "What have you done?" "You killed him?" "Looks like the bastard has killed him" ""Laxman, what's to be done?"" "Let's take him home for dinner." " Everyday happening" "Get the handcuff." " Handcuff him" "He has confessed to the crime" "He did it to make life hell for you." "He had access to your gun" "He just couldn't gauge how selfish the blackmailer was" "He has lost it." "He keeps screaming" "Mentions weird names" "And he keeps abusing us" ""Anyway, enjoy yourselves"" ""As you sow, so you reap"" ""What happened, Meghna?" " l'm fatigued"" "We're going home"
