" What are you doing here?" " Rekha asked me over" " How long have you known her?" " We are childhood friends" "We've no friends here" "They're all police officers." "They can send you to your death" "Did Shekhar realise who you were?" "I fooled him but I think he suspects something" "Leave the city before his suspicions are confirmed" "Keep clear of the C.I.D."

" Sure, I can" "If the killer were before you, you'd know him?" "I've already identified him" " Where?" " At the police station" "When I testify in court, he'll be in for 20 years" "You won't go" "I beg your pardon?" "Were you speaking to me?" "Why won't I testify in court?" "Because I said so" "So!" "I won't go to court... because you're a gentleman" "How can you tell?" "Fantastic!" "Aren't you clever?" "But how did you know?" " It's on your face" "'Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown'." "Then, there's you..." "Will you stand witness for the police?" "Certainly, it's a matter of principle" " Won't you mend your ways?" " Certainly not!" "Why have I been brought here?" "Who are you all?" "You will not testify!" " We don't want you to" " But I do" " So you'll testify, will you?" " Definitely!" " Now will you testify?" " To what?" " The Bombay Times office" " Where's that?" " Can you identify the murderer?" " What murderer?" " Will you go to the court?" " I'm going straight home" "I'm very sorry" " What's up?" " The witness won't go to the court" "You think he won't testify if he's threatened?" " But you..." " I've changed my mind" "The case won't go to court." "It'll be settled in the cell" " In the cell?" " Yes" " I know nothing" " Yes, you do" "Here are your fingerprints" "Do you know where they were found?" "On Srivastav's table... where you killed him" "Can you deny that these are your fingerprints?" "Let me go." "I'm innocent" "Shouting won't save you" "No one can save you unless you tell us who's behind the murder" "Name the man who is making you a scapegoat" "No one."

" Trouble" "Open the door" " Who is responsible for this?" " We don't know, Sir" "He staggered into the cell, then collapsed" " He was dead" " Did he die, or was he killed" "Inspector, you killed him and now you accuse us?" "Nonsense!" " He is right" "Killer!" "Fool!" " Who do you mean?" " Inspector Shekhar, who else?" "Watch the fun!" "He'll share the same fate as the other" " The other?" " The man who killed Srivastav" "A bad fate?" "Two birds with one stone" "If he'd stayed alive, he would have talked" "That would have meant the end of us... of you and me" "But murdering an accomplice?" " An accomplice?" "The fellow in jail" "He was no accomplice." "He was a mere pawn" "I have no accomplices." "Only hired hands who die if they prove a threat to me" " Me included?" " You're as dear as my own life" "Shekhar recognised you." "That's why I had him framed" " All is fair in love and war" " False promises, too?" "Promises?" " You've forgotten" "Did you take me from the orphanage to lead this life?" "At times, I hate myself." "I want to die or run away" "Why did Shekhar do such a thing?" "Father, do you believe..." "Shekhar's guilty?" "Believing is useless." "The evidence is clear" "He can't do as he pleases" "To find the truth..." "he can't kill" "Now what?" "Let's see what happens." "He can't take the law into his hands." "The court may be severe 3 years, 5 years, who knows?" "You're crying for Shekhar?" "Save him, father." "He's innocent" "My heart knows it" "I am afraid that justice requires truthful evidence" "Hearts cannot testify" "As I was saying, at 9.15 Shekhar summoned the prisoners... for interrogation" "At 12.15 the prisoner was sent back to his cell" "At 12.20 he was found dead" "This is the coroner's report" "It says that the prisoner died as a result of brutal assault" "This assault took place while Shekhar was with... the prisoner" "According to the law, he's responsible" "Not only is Shekhar responsible for the death... but he killed him" "I would like to call a witness" " Permission granted." "First witness, Constable Rashid" "Repeat after me" " Where were you that night?" " On duty, Sir" "At 9.15, when the prisoner was called from his cell what was his condition?" " He was fine" "Was he well when he returned?" "No, Sir." "He could hardly walk." "He needed help" " How was he then?" " He was crying and groaning" " What time did he return?" " About 12.15" "He was out of his cell for 3 hours" " Where was he?" " In the charge room" " Who was he with?" " Inspector Shekhar" "It is clear the prisoner left his cell in good health" "He then spent 3 hours alone with Inspector Shekhar after which time the prisoner could barely walk" "Your witness" " Any questions?" "No, Sir." " Where were you?" " Outside the charge room" " When did you enter?" " Half an hour later" " How did you find the prisoner?" " He was upset" "Just upset?" "Then what did you do?" " I helped him back to his cell" " So he needed help?" "Why did he need help?" "He was trembling and unsteady." "He could hardly walk, Sir" "Any questions?" "No, Sir" "Where were you between 9.15 and 12.15 when the prisoner was alone with Inspector Shekhar?" "In the office" " Did you hear anything?" " Cries, Sir" " What cries?" " All prisoners cry" "No opinions, please." "I asked you a question" " I want to know what you heard" " Cries, Sir" " Beating?" " No, Sir" " What was it?" " He shouted "let me go"" " Could it imply beating?" " Not necessarily" " But it's possible?" " Anything is possible" "The prisoner shouted during 3 hours to be left alone" " Is that right?" " Yes, Sir" "Have you anything to say?" " No, Sir" " What time did you enter the cell?" " At 10 p.m." " Was the cell occupied?" " No, Sir" "A prisoner was brought in half an hour later" " When did Shersingh enter?" " Shersingh?" " The man who died that night" " You mean him?" "After midnight, I clearly remember I heard the clock strike twelve" "What state was he in, when he entered the cell?" "He was shaking." "He collapsed at once and never got up again" "Did he say anything?" "He said "that Inspector..."" " Were those his last words?" " Yes" "Any questions, Inspector Shekhar?" "One question" " What work do you do?" " I process liquids" "What kinds?" " Aniseed and roses" " And grapes?" "I mean wine" "You've been jailed thrice" "What time were you locked up?" " At about 10.30" " Was anyone else in the cell?" "There was another man" "Did you hear any cries between 10.30 and 12.15?" " What did you think they were?" " A prisoner being beaten up" "What was Shersingh's condition when he entered the cell?" "He was in a bad state, Sir." "Then we saw him dead" "Any questions?" " Yes." "How many times were you in jail?" "Thrice" " What was the first charge?" " Theft" " The second charge?" " Rioting" " What was the third charge?" " Robbery" "Bravo!" "With such a record, only murder was left" "The accused is discrediting the witness to prove his innocence" "I admit that Shersingh was with me for 3 hours..." "As per the public prosecutor." "He will, however concede that he died 5 minutes after entering the cell" "May I ask, my lord, are 3 hours required to kill a man?" "Couldn't 5 minutes suffice?" "Doctors say death can result from a single blow" "A blow can be delivered in 3 hours or in 5 minutes" "I'd like to conclude..." "On one hand, you have heard the testimony of known criminals" "On the other, stands one who has served the police for 10 years" "The defendant has introduced a new point" "I concede the murder could've taken place in a few instants" "The question is, who would benefit by it?" "Shekhar!" "If he had succeeded in getting a confession... he might have got a medal" "Can Shekhar tell us how the witnesses would benefit?" "Money." "The man who had Srivastav killed could hire killers to remove a witness" "So his crimes would stay a secret" "What secret?" "Who is this man?" "A man who tried bribing me, with 50,000 rupees" "Can you tell us who he is, and where he lives?" "I don't know yet." "But I assure you, my lord given time, I'll find out" "This 'man' is a figment of Shekhar's imagination" "Shekhar is trying, by any means, to prove himself innocent" "I pray the court to punish Shekhar severely as a lesson to him and... a warning to all" "The role of the police is to protect people, not to kill them" "The case will be decided tomorrow" "When did you come?" " A while ago" "A nice place" "Does your parrot talk?" "He wakes me up in the morning and scolds me if I'm late" "Why the visit?" "Your father will be furious" "I know." "But I didn't want you to be alone" " Tomorrow, they decide the case" " I know their decision" "I'll be imprisoned." "And you'll visit me there" "Take the case to the High court" "It won't make much difference" " Why not?" "You're innocent" " I can't prove it" "We can't meet any longer." "You're a police officer's daughter I'm a criminal" "People will despise my very name" "Forget you ever met me... even in your dreams" "How can I ever forget you?" "When we first met, you took me for a thief" "Consider that I was never a police officer" "You had met a murderer" " You are beyond compare!" " What is it?" "Rekha told me everything" "You'll be imprisoned even though you're innocent?" "Nonsense!" " It's beyond you" " It's beyond 'you'" "These people are no small fry like me" "They've cut the noose you had planned for them" " You're right" " You can't go in the lock-up" " Don't go to court" " And the man who stood bail?" " We'll deal with him later" " You're mad" "Maybe." "But at least hear me out" "If you go to jail, the real culprits will go scot-free" "The people who killed the editor and the witness who framed you, can do even more" "They can kill again" "What are you saying?" "Who are 'they'?" "'They' are the same people who took me to a strange house" "There, I saw a beautiful woman" "That house is linked with the whole story" " Where is it?" " In Bombay" "Where?" " Don't know." "They took me in a car with tinted windows" "It was all hush-hush" " What did they want?" " Well, I'd seen the killer" "They said, if I testified, I'd be in for it" "That's it!" "You've got to find that house and them" "Who'll catch the killers?" "Who will prove you're innocent?" "You must run away" "Inspector Shekhar's escaped." "He's messed up my plans" "I tried hard to frame him" "What do we do?" " Help the police to find him" " Help the police?" "Until he's been caught, we're in trouble" "Be careful." "He's bound to come looking for you" "Find him!" "Post men at the airport, the railway stations" "Set up road blocks!" "Search every ship in port!" "Shekhar must be found" "Dead or alive" "What is it?" " Nothing" "Tears?" "I can't help it" " Stop crying at once!" "It's useless." "He's in trouble, father." "He needs help" "He must be arrested!" " He's innocent" "This is what your heart says?" "Stop this nonsense!" "He'll be caught and jailed." "There's little else for him" ""Enchanted by a first love, eyes filled with sweet dreams"" ""From the realm of magic, appeared a magician"" ""What kind of spell did he cast on me?"" ""The magician has vanished, leaving me lost and lonely"" ""With a single glance, he stole away my peace of mind"" ""O stars above, you must have seen him leave"" ""With your light, help me to seek him out"" ""Distressed and alone, I wander in search of my love"" ""Since the day I fell in love with you"" ""The long nights pass, filled with such sorrow"" ""Come home to me again, and fill my world with joy"" ""Enchanted by a first love, eyes filled with sweet dreams"" ""From the realm of magic, appeared a magician"" "Be careful!" "He could be anywhere" " Did you see anyone?" " No, Sir" "You?" "What are you doing here?" "And you?" " I live here" "My destination!" "So this is your house" "Strange coincidence." "I tried so hard to find it" "Then, I stumble on the house accidentally" "Do you know that I can get rid of you in a flash?" "All you have to do is to pull the trigger... and I'll join Srivastav" "But you won't do that" "You're going to tell me who is behind Srivastav's murder" "Don't move or I'll shoot!" "You can engineer a crime, but you can't murder anyone" "You can bribe, but you can't kill" "How did you get hurt?" "A gun was fired at your command" "You're shaking" "There's perspiration on your forehead" "Go on, shoot!" " Where am I?" " Don't worry." "You're safe" " Have I been here long?" " A day" "Have I been unconscious for all this time?" "You've dressed my wound?" "What else was I to do?" "Hand you over to the police?" "Why the police?" "You could've handed me over to your friends" "If they can pay 50.000 for a mute parrot they might offer 200.000 for me" "What use is money?" " It has many uses" "A fancy car, a diamond necklace." "You missed a golden chance" "It doesn't matter" "How do you feel now?" " Good." "I can walk" "You must leave right away." "You're in danger" " Danger?" " Yes, your life's at stake" "Why does it upset you?" "It's my life" "I won't leave here empty-handed" "The evidence and proof of my innocence lie here" "I'll leave when I have them" "He's here!" " Who?" "Never mind." "You must go" "Who is he?" "He's waiting in the car." " Let him." "He's dangerous!" "He'll kill us both" "So he's the murderer?" "Come." "Don't go there, I implore you." "I'll deal with him." ""Though you aim at the target your arrow pierces another"" ""O heartless one, let me live." "Why make life such a bother"" ""No one can ever guess what your intentions are"" ""Don't come any closer, your looks kill me from afar"" ""Save me, oh save me." "Save this fragile heart"" ""You throw me a glance, almost helter-skelter"" ""Those who value their lives had better find a new shelter"" ""Your ways are cruel, yet they are dear to me"" ""You inflict such pain, where can I hide, where can I go"" ""Only you can save me from such sorrow"" ""You hold the key, the world is at your command"" ""The hunter nears, the hunted must fly to safety"" ""The snare is made of tresses, you can escape me"" ""Speed away, the hunter is near"" " Is he the murderer?"

"This is Shekhar" "I'll give myself up" "Stop the car!" " What can we do now?" " Drive to the police station" "They'll be heading there." "We'll be waiting" "There it is." "Shall I stop?" "What if they don't arrive?" "Pull in." "Keep the motor running" " Are you sure it was Shekhar?" " I spoke to him myself" " Why did he call?" " He wants to give himself up" "The line got cut off" "Here they are" "Follow that car!" "Who is she?" "Who fired?" "The man who had Srivastav killed and Shersingh murdered" "Nonsense!" " It's true" "Arrest him!" " I won't run" " You ran once before" " I can prove I'm innocent" "I know who killed Srivastav" " Who?" "Dharamdas" "You must be crazy!" "Any proof?" "When she comes around, she'll talk" "If she doesn't survive, you'll be in trouble" "You can't run away again" " How is she, doctor?" " Still unconscious" " She's very ill" " I need her evidence" "Her life is more precious than that" " What do you mean?" " She may not survive" "We're doing our best" "I've got an idea." "Let's tell the press that she's well... and she will testify" "We're finished!" "Kamini is recovering" "She has agreed to testify" "She won't regain consciousness" "Go to the hospital!" "You're quiet?" "Do the job and then you can name your price" "You're scared?" "If you're caught, you'll be inside for awhile, that's all" "A man can lose his life in the lock-up these days" "Cowards!" "Scoundrels!" " Are the arrangements made?" " She'll be moved to Room 15" "We'll be in 13" "It's 8 a.m. The deadline is 8 p.m." "I knew they wouldn't dare to come here" "So the murderer is a figment of your imagination" "Miss Kamini" "Room no. 13 Second floor" "We can't spend the rest of our lives here" "A man asked for Kamini" " What no." "Did you tell him?" "He's on his way up" "Room 15." "Well done!" "We would never have solved the case alone" "Escaping was an offence" "You'll be punished." "But I'll recommend your release" "Inspector, I want to testify"
