"This is what your people make..right?" "Label of calcium..." "But inside..." "Just think, after reaching the..." "stores...this poison reaches everywhere." "This one bottle can.."

"I won't work for you sir." "What do you mean?" "I want to leave this business." "Ranjit, I first told you... you are very tired." "You are right sir." "I am tired of this trade." "I have been punished for my bad deeds." "I want to live a life of honesty... and for the last time came to tell you.." "Good day." "Did you hear?" "I was thinking... if Ranjit becomes a government witness... how many years will be gone for?" "He has turned mad!" "And when a dog goes mad...he is shot!" "Son...why don't you play with the fireworks." "You come with me father." "OK then we will after we eat." "OK?" "I was saying...there are 1 1 00 people..." "that work at the factory." "1 1 00?"

"You've been in the force for 5 years." "And in these 5 years you've been transferred eleven times." "You didn't serve any police station for more than 6 months!" " Any special reason?" " May be they didn't like my modus operandi." "I'm told that you're an honest and a hard working officer..." "But, you've your minus points too." "You take every criminal to be your personal foe and to keep law you even go beyond the law sometimes." "I think it my duty to fight every crime, as a police officer."

" Then say so!" "You nearly injured my eye!" " Oh come on..." " l swear!" "I'll be a gain to you." " Nonsense!" "Look, you know very well that nobody can talk to me like this." " But you always..." " Here you are!" " Wow!" " Take this." " Give me change." "It's scarce these days." "Keep this Rs. 1 0 note." "We'll settle the score later." "Why, is it a special day for you or something?" " l don't want it!" " You slut!" "With this note..." " ..." "I'll get 1 0 girls like you!" " You rascal..." "He said vile things to me, the bloody rascal!" " Why don't you say something now?" " l was just teasing her, sir." "Teasing, eh?" "Constable!" "Take him away." "Look, if any man insults you, you needn't come to blows with him." "Come to us at the police station." "Why are we here?" "Now take your things and go." "Don't you know anything else but picking pockets and stealing?" "You're a family man." "Do some job." "A job?" "We don't get a job, sir." "Don't get one, or are you scared to do a job?" " God is witness, sir." "Pilfering is very hard work." "But I'm helpless." " Once branded, who'll give a job?" " No business." "What did you do?" "I was a peddler." "But I had to sell it for my wife's medicines." " Wife's medicines or your hooch?" " Hooch." "No, not hooch." "Honestly, sir. lf l get a little financial help..." " ..." "I'll buy a nice peddling cart" " How much money does it need?" " Sir?" " How much will it cost?" " At least Rs. 300 /- sir." " But, from where..." " lf you promise to go straight..." " ..." "I can get you the money." " l swear, sir." "I'll leave all these vices and pay you back too." "Much obliged, sir." "Look, if I get a complaint against you after today..." " ..." "I'll have your blood." " God promise, sir." "Trust me." "Okay." "Come to my house tomorrow." "Go." "Sir..." "I'm leaving this here." " Constable!" " Yes, sir?" "Who's this Sher Khan?" "Lots of complaints against him." " Where does he live?" " He... in Badshah Lane, sir." " Greetings." " Same to you." " Cigarette?" " Light?" " l'm not so lucky." "No cigarette, liquor or gambling." "I offer them to you." "Enjoy yourselves." "Here, have one." " Jack, Queen and a King!" " Damn!" " You win every time!" "Lucky!" " Today I am." " You won a lot today." " Yes." " Congratulations." "Have a cigarette." " Bloody cheat!" " l... I do black deeds;" "But I'm honest." " Yes, sir?" " Throw this vermin out!" "If he dares to come here again, break his limbs!" "Come on, take your share." "But be honest about it." " What is it?" " A constable was here." " Constable?" " Why was he here?" " To call you at the police station." "To call me at the police station?" "Great!" "Why are all you worried?" "Carry on playing. I'm not dead yet." " Yes, sir?" " l asked for the names of all the black-listed people." " Where are they?" " l'll just get them, sir." "Greetings, Inspector." "I'm lucky to be remembered by a big officer like you." " What can I do for you?" " Are you Sher Khan?" "You're new here, sir." "Else, who doesn't know me?" "Anyway, now we've met." "Stand properly till you're asked to sit down!" "This is a police station, not your own house!" "Sir, till today nobody has spoken like this to me." "It's not you who's speaking, but your uniform and chair!" "When you're without this uniform and chair, that day..." "Don't shout, sir!" "You'll get a sore throat." "Ring your bell and ask the constable to lock me up." " Sir, this file." " Constable..." " Take Sher Khan and show him out." " No need." "I had come on my own." "I'll go by myself!" "Good day!" "I heard that you were called at the police station today." "A new officer has come who doesn't know me." "He'll know me by and by." "Get me a cup of tea, son." "is this the area where people know you, Sher Khan?" "Now, I neither have my uniform nor my chair." "And I'm off duty." "This is your domain and I'm all alone." "Come to the point, sir." "Nobody's to interfere!" "Up, sir!" "For the first time in my life, I've met a lion-hearted man." "Let's shake hands." "By tomorrow morning, all your gambling dens and other joints will have to shut down!" "Only then I'll shake hands with you." "I don't wait for tomorrow, what I can do today." "Everything is closed from this moment." "Shake!" "Boy!" "Two teas." "Look, your job is not to fight for your personal respect but to save the public from any sort of tyranny." "Sher Khan has shut all his dens forever." "I told you before, if you're going to work with me it'll be according to the law and its principles." "May I speak to inspector Vijay Khanna?" "A truck with contraband liquor will pass Maze Road checkpost today." " Who's talking?" " The number is MRY 9 5 54." " What's your name?" "Where are you?" " The number is..." " What's the matter?" " The cops caught one of our trucks." "For such a small matter, you came running to me?" "This hasn't happened in the last 1 2 years, sir." " Was our man caught?" " No." "The driver left the truck and fled." " Where did this happen?" " At Maze Road check post." " And the police officer there?" " A new chap." "Do one thing. invite him also, to our party the day after." " What is it, Teja darling?" " Nothing." "Kabir said some police officer is in need of some money." "Inspector Vijay Khanna." "You're inspector Khanna?" "Come, I'll introduce you to Teja." "He's coming this way in fact." "Rather, Inspector Khanna." "I don't smoke." "I was very eager to meet you." "People praise you a lot." "I've also read your name in the papers many times." "I don't usually attend parties." "But..." "The S.P. said I must meet you." "He too was praising you a lot!" "Mona, look after him." "Mr. Vijay..." "Consider this as your own home." "No formalities whatsoever." " Ofcourse." " Actually the thing is..." "What will you have?" "Anything cold, or hot?" " Or better, something strong?" " A glass of water, please." "Water?" "Neat, or in your whisky?" "Here you are." "You've come to the party, but your heart is elsewhere." "Talk to me, please." "Unfortunately I can't converse." "So you may get bored with me." "Look, please don't be mean." "EROS" "Shrewd buyers always gauge other buyers' prices before buying anything." "So what have you estimated?" "What I've experienced is, those who stay aloof at parties are usually very stubborn." "And it'll be very difficult to ` buy' this man." "Teja, the more I know you, I feel I don't know you at all!" "At times, I think you manage this huge business all by yourself." "It must require so much knowledge and experience!" "I've learnt all this from Mr. Patil." "Whatever I am today, is due to Mr. Patil." "I'm hearing you praise somebody for the first time." "Truly, Mr. Patil must have been a fantastic man!" "Had he been alive today, I'd have definitely met him." "But, how did he die?" "I killed him." "Tomorrow morning a van will pass from the Curzon Road check post." " Who's calling?" "I want to meet you." " The number is..." " Yes, go on." " The number is MRZ 6 1 4 1 ." "Why don't you tell your name?" "You've helped the police." "You..." "The number is MRZ 6 1 4 1 ." "Where do you get this information?" "I want to know if..." "Goga, I've seen many, but I've never seen a driver like you." " Aren't you scared someone may come suddenly?" " Then it's his funeral!" "With this one eye of mine, I can see the road clearly." "Not those who walk on the road." "Understand?" "Being funny, eh?" "Here, have a cigarette." "You lot take the wireless and go from that side." "Get at the back." "Ask the van to chase the truck and get that girl here." " Did the police identify Goga?" " No." " They've just arrested him." " lt isn't as though someone saw him and then identify him for the police, is it?" "He said a knife-sharpening girl may have seen him." "She may..." "Give that girl 5-1 0 grand, and burn that truck!" " How much is it?" " 5 thousand." "But you'll have to hold your tongue." "For this kind of money, I'll be a mute all my life!" "The coroner's report will come later Then the bodies can be handed over." "The condition the bodies are in..." "How will the parents bear the sight?" " l got the girl, sir." " Why bring her here?" " You only..." " Your name?" " Mala." " Where do you live?" "Look, you are brought here because you were standing where that truck stopped for a second, and you saw the driver." "Me?" "No, I didn't see anybody." "I was doing my work." "You mean, even when there was such a big accident nearby you continued to work?" "A truck came at a high speed and braked very near you, and you didn't even see it?" " l did see, sir." " Fine Come to the police station tomorrow." "We've arrested a few suspects." "Identify the driver among them." "No!" "I can't do that. I didn't see anyone, so how can I identify?" " You're lying!" " Why should I lie, sir?" "Firstly, I didn't see, and even if I did, I don't remember." "Excuse me." "Why should I identify when I've not lost any relative?" "Let those who've lost their near ones do it!" "Why should I bother?" "Right?" "Don't involve me in this." "I can't identify." "May I go now?" "Look, these are the bodies of those kids, who were crushed to death!" "They are not related to you, but, take a look, before you leave." "The truck's wheel went over his head." "An only son." "When his mother saw his body, she didn't shed a tear." "Just stared at him like a mad woman!" "Come here!" "Among you all, there is that man who with his truck, crushed 5 innocent children." "Who is he?" "You?" "You?" "Or is it you?" "Today I don't have an eye-witness who can identify that beast!" "But whoever he is among you, better listen carefully." "If I've ever taken a vow in my life, it'll be today!" "That man can't avoid me forever." "One day or the other, I'll..." " Let them go!" " Sir, this girl wants to see you." "I'll identify the man. I saw him with my own eyes." "Who is he?" "Tell me." "Hurry up." "You bastard!" "I'll kill you!" "Sir, this man should be hung!" "What's wrong with you?" " Yes, sir?" " Bring this man to my room." " What's this?" " Money. 5 thousand in all." "Two men had come to me and asked me to hold my tongue." "Do you know those men?" "Then why..." "Those kids I saw in the morgue... I couldn't lie. I don't want this money." "You donate it to an orphanage." "May I go now?" "Wait." "Your name's Mala?" "What you've done today is... I'm very..." "Thank you." " How come you remembered me?" " l had some work with you." "Yes, tell me what it is. I'm lucky to be of any help to you." " Sit down." "Will you have a drink?" " No, thanks." "Mr. Teja..." "Do you know this man?" " No." "Who is he?" " See carefully." "You may have seen him somewhere." "Wait. I'm long-sighted you see." " ...that, once seen, it can never be forgotten." "You're right." "Even I didn't forget it." "Okay. I'll go now." "However, you may be interested to know..." " ...that a girl has identified him." " Really?" " Oh yes." "This man is in custody now." "He hasn't made a statement as yet." "But... he will!" " Had you given the money to that girl?" " Yes, sir." "That girl will not reach the court!" "Sir!" "Open the door, sir." " Sir, save me!" "They'll kill me." " Who?" " What's wrong?" " They're after me." " Hold on." " Don't go, sir." "Nothing will happen to me." "You go inside." "Go on." "There's nobody outside." "Look, Mala..." "Don't cry. I know why they want to..." " Nobody can hurt you here." " No, sir." "They've become my enemies for life!" "They'll kill me!" "How can they?" "is this a jungle for people to kill as they wish?" "There's police and the law after all. lsn't there?" "Then?" "Now stop crying." "And you're a brave girl." "Got scared so fast?" "Remember when I first met you?" "How you had collared that hoodlum?" " Then, why did he..." " He doesn't trouble you now though." "No." "Since I boxed his ears he calls me "sis" ." "Rascal!" "Look, my phone's not working, else I'd have called a jeep for you." "I don't want you to go home all alone." "That's why..." " l'll escort you to your house." " No, sir." " Why?" "Till the police catch them, I'll not about your family?" " Don't worry." "Suppose they come again?" " lf you don't go home, what about your family?" " Don't worry, sir." " l've no family." " There has to be someone." "Your parents..." "No, sir. I have nobody." "I'm an orphan since childhood." " What's the matter?" " Nothing." "Just wondering." " How you live alone in this world." " So?" "Lots of people live alone." "That's true, but you're a girl." " Why don't you marry?" " Marry whom, sir?" "Look at my face." "Who'll marry me?" "Why?" "What's wrong with it?" "It's pleasant enough." " You'll find lots of..." " l didn't find a single sod!" " No swearing." " l didn't swear, sir." "Look, if you don't wish to go back to your place then go sleep in that room." "I'll sleep here." "I, over there, and you, here?" "Have you eaten anything?" "No, eh?" "Look, I also stay alone here." "I'll see if I have something to eat." "Sir!" " What is it?" " Tea." " Why did you bother?" " Why?" "Don't you drink tea?" "I do drink it." " But why in the glass." " Why?" "What's wrong?" "Nothing." " What happened?" "Tea's good." " Well, sir." "That glass..." "I had drunk from it." "I gave it to you by mistake." "Never mind." " How much sugar have you put?" " 4 tea-spoons. ls it less?" " No." "Perfect." "A good combination." "By drinking one glass of tea one's mouth will be sweetened for the entire day!" " Who makes tea for you daily?" " l do it myself." "Who else?" "You're also alone like me, sir." "Don't you get scared in such a big house?" " l've sort of got used to it." " Don't say that, sir." "I also live alone, but one never gets used to living alone." " One always wishes that..." " What?" " What I'm saying." "To have siblings, parents." "Everyone living in harmony." "Share one's joys and sorrows." " Did I say something wrong?" " No, you're absolutely right." "One never gets used to living alone." "One always wishes that..." "EROS" " Greetings, sir." " Where is your Master and Mistress?" " They..." " Hello!" "We're waiting for you." " Hello, sister-in-law." "This is..." " Come here." "This is Mala." "And this, is my sister-in-law." "Don't be so formal." "Be comfortable, come on." " When did you come?" " Just now." " You're always busy in your cases." "This is my husband, Vijay's brother." "So, this is Mala." "Look, here you'll have no problem." " Except for my wife's chatter!" " Why does he object to my chatter?" "Come, Mala, let's go." "If you've no objection, may I..." "Come, Mala, let's go." "If you've no objection, may I..." " Yes of course." "Take her." " Come, my dear." " A nice girl." " Yes." "She has nobody." " l thought she'd learn something if she stays here." " Good." "My wife will have company too." "She's all alone the whole day." "One can't believe this girl could be so brave!" "That man she helped to arrest." "Has he told you anything?" "No, not as yet." "But he will." " Let me sleep. - l haven't slept for days, so how can you?" " Talk!" " l know nothing." "You know everything!" "Whom do you work for?" "I know nothing, I tell you." "Nothing!" "Listen. I've seen bigger criminals than you, break down here." "I'll go on asking you forever, and you'll have to tell me!" "This inspector is beginning to disturb me a bit too much." " Yes, sir?" " lt won't be bad, if this problem is erased forever." "I'll take 2 of my men today, and... I don't want to use my men for this job." "Find an old foe of the inspector." "And bribe him heavily." "This inspector's a queer guy too." "He just doesn't accept bribes." "Just as dishonesty is a weakness with some honesty is also a weakness with others." "If I don't find a proper man to finish off the inspector he'll find himself in jail, with all his honesty and integrity." "Jail?" " Are you Sher Khan?" " By working under a car does one become somebody else?" " Come to the point." " Someone's to be bumped off!" "So bump him off!" "Why take my permission?" "You've to do the job." "So name your price." "First tell me the victim's worth." "2 5 thousand now, and the same, when the job's done." "Okay?" "An inspector's life is worth 50,000 /- ?" "Sounds like a very honest officer." "His name?" "I don't hunt tigers!" "As it is, our country has very few tigers left." "I hear even the Government has banned tiger-hunting." "Sher Khan, 50,000 " " Rupees is not a small sum." "You're lucky that you said this under my roof." "I don't raise my hand in my house even at my foe!" "Anywhere else and at the rate of 50,000 /- l'd have earned 1 50,000 /-!" "Get out, you devils!" "Take that..." "Take away the ill-gotten money." "Get out!" " lt's you sir." " What's this?" "Come outside." " Just this one left." " Give it to me." "Now come out." "Look. I didn't bring you here to sharpen the knives." " l brought you here to learn." " l've learnt a lot from " Bhabhi" ." "What have you learnt?" "Who a... enough." " Any mistake, sir?" " Why do you call me "Sir" ?" " Don't you know my name?" " Yes." "Vijay, sir." " Again, `sir'?" " My name's Vijay." "Call me Vijay." " Greetings, Vijay Khan!" "You, Sher Khan?" "Come on in." " Why here?" " Where are you?" "I'm looking for you since morning." "Today, I lost 50,000 /- because of you!" " What!" "How come?" " l'll tell you." "This is Mala." "Mala, this is Sher Khan." "A very good friend of mine." "She may, or may not know me, but I've understood her well." " What do you know?" " Look, I may not be married..." "But I've attended many weddings!" "You're like a younger sister." "Don't mind if I talk like this." "I'm always joking." "Vijay, hear this." " Anything special?" " Why would I come here otherwise?" "Your life's in danger." "Some men offered me 50,000 /- to kill you!" " So?" "You should've taken it!" " Don't be funny. I'm worried." "Don't worry about me." "They can't do anything to me." "I know you're daring and brave." "But remember a pack of wild dogs can kill even a tiger." "I'll be your bodyguard." " No, friend." "I'm a police officer. I know how to deal with such people very well." "Okay. lt was my duty to warn you." "But if I can be of help, tell me." "Go, she's waiting for you." "God bless you two." " What is it?" "All's well l hope." " Yes, it is." "This man, Sher Khan, is a very nice man." "If anything happens to me, then trust just two people." " My brother Anil, and Sher Khan." " Why are you saying this?" " What will happen to you?" " Nothing." "Just telling you." " Okay, sir. - "Sir" again?" " l won't say it again." "I'll go now." "See you in the evening." " Listen..." " What is it?" " Shall I say it?" " Yes." "Go on say it." "Sir!" "Sir!" "Greetings, sir." " Greetings." "How are things running?" " l run a peddle-cart." "I was going to come myself and see you." "That money you gave..." " No hurry." " Sir, I've a room in this very lane." "Please come." " l told you, no hurry." " lf you have a cup of tea with me..." " ...it'll add to my status, sir." " l'm late already." "Some other day." "Just 2 minutes, sir." "Please come." "Okay, but don't waste time." "Sit in the jeep." "Sir has called you." "Come Ranjit come." "Your prison term is up." "Even after knowing all about you...." "We have no evidence or witness against you." "Therefore....here are your clothes." "And here is your wallet." "Open it and look for your self." "Can I leave Inspector?" "The law can't keep you... but when you've already spent..." "much time.. a few minutes more." "is there anything left to ask?" "What's the use of asking..." "You'll have the same answer." "No.." "l'm not asking anything today." "I want to say something." "You see this fake injection bottle?" "This is what your people make..right?" "Label of calcium..." "But inside..." "Just think, after reaching the..." "stores...this poison reaches everywhere." "This one bottle can.." "ruin a mothers womb." "It can make a child an orphan..." "and a widow from..." "But why are you telling me all this?" "How many times have I told you.." "I know nothing of the people who make this!" "Sometimes I really feel like patting your..." "back for your devotion." "But then I feel sorry that your.." "dedication is for such people!" "After so many requests...you didn't..." "tell me their names." "Your lips are sealed..but remember.." "the hand that touches fire gets burned!" "You will regret it one day." "You've come." "Yes I have." "Why are you crying?" "Look..." "I've even come back." "No one has any proof against me." "They can't do anything against me." "Don't cry." "My dear son!" "Look...your mother is crying." "You won't cry will you?" "Bravo!" "You are my brave son!" "Where's my daughter?" "When I left she had typhoid." "She was on my mind all the time." "Papa...she had died!" "Died?" "Sumitra...how did this happen?" "How did you let this happen?" "You didn't get her treatment?" "I did..." "But I didn't know.." "that instead of medicine.." "I was buying her death!" "I brought her injection.." "afterwards I found it to be fake!" "So what?" "lt's nothing new!" "Kids are paying the price of.." "your bad deeds." "The hand that plays with fire.." "gets burned too!" "The hand that plays with fire..." "gets burned too!" "No matter how much I thank you..." "It's not enough." "You are embarrassing me." "Donation for an orphanage I.." "consider a duty." "This is religious work!" "And then...." "Ranjit....you've come?" "I'm very happy with you." "See Teja..." "I knew...the cops can't.." "get any information from Ranjit." "Your made of steel..." "Here have a drink on me today." "No thanks." "Ranjit....you need some good rest..." "for a few days." "Go to Kashmir, or any other place." "I'll pay the expenses." "Start work when you get back." "I won't work for you sir." "What do you mean?" "I want to leave this business." "Ranjit, I first told you... you are very tired." "You are right sir." "I am tired of this trade." "I have been punished for my bad deeds." "I want to live a life of honesty... and for the last time came to tell you.." "Good day." "Did you hear?" "I was thinking... if Ranjit becomes a government witness... how many years will be gone for?" "He has turned mad!" "And when a dog goes mad...he is shot!" "Son...why don't you play with the fireworks." "You come with me father." "OK then we will after we eat." "OK?" "I was saying...there are 1 1 00 people..." "that work at the factory." "1 1 00?"

"know that his father was... I understand...but do you think he.." "will forget what he saw?" "He's a child...he will forget one day." "Here...have your milk... and go to sleep." "You've been in the force for 5 years." "And in these 5 years you've been transferred eleven times." "You didn't serve any police station for more than 6 months!" " Any special reason?" " May be they didn't like my modus operandi." "I'm told that you're an honest and a hard working officer..." "But, you've your minus points too." "You take every criminal to be your personal foe and to keep law you even go beyond the law sometimes." "I think it my duty to fight every crime, as a police officer." "Okay, but just as you have some freedom as a police officer you have some restrictions too." "And I'm sure you won't forget them." "Join from tomorrow." "EROS" " Hey, watch it!" " Sharpen this too." " Then say so!" "You nearly injured my eye!" " Oh come on..." " l swear!" "I'll be a gain to you." " Nonsense!" "Look, you know very well that nobody can talk to me like this." " But you always..." " Here you are!" " Wow!" " Take this." " Give me change." "It's scarce these days." "Keep this Rs. 1 0 note." "We'll settle the score later." "Why, is it a special day for you or something?"

" l was just teasing her, sir." "Teasing, eh?" "Constable!" "Take him away." "Look, if any man insults you, you needn't come to blows with him." "Come to us at the police station." "Why are we here?" "Now take your things and go." "Don't you know anything else but picking pockets and stealing?" "You're a family man." "Do some job." "A job?" "We don't get a job, sir." "Don't get one, or are you scared to do a job?" " God is witness, sir." "Pilfering is very hard work." "But I'm helpless." " Once branded, who'll give a job?" " No business." "What did you do?" "I was a peddler." "But I had to sell it for my wife's medicines." " Wife's medicines or your hooch?" " Hooch." "No, not hooch." "Honestly, sir. lf l get a little financial help..." " ..." "I'll buy a nice peddling cart" " How much money does it need?" " Sir?" " How much will it cost?" " At least Rs. 300 /- sir." " But, from where..." " lf you promise to go straight..." " ..." "I can get you the money." " l swear, sir." "I'll leave all these vices and pay you back too." "Much obliged, sir." "Look, if I get a complaint against you after today..." " ..."

"Lots of complaints against him." " Where does he live?" " He... in Badshah Lane, sir." " Greetings." " Same to you." " Cigarette?" " Light?" " l'm not so lucky." "No cigarette, liquor or gambling." "I offer them to you." "Enjoy yourselves." "Here, have one." " Jack, Queen and a King!" " Damn!" " You win every time!" "Lucky!" " Today I am." " You won a lot today." " Yes." " Congratulations." "Have a cigarette." " Bloody cheat!" " l... I do black deeds;" "But I'm honest." " Yes, sir?" " Throw this vermin out!" "If he dares to come here again, break his limbs!" "Come on, take your share." "But be honest about it." " What is it?" " A constable was here." " Constable?" " Why was he here?" " To call you at the police station." "To call me at the police station?" "Great!" "Why are all you worried?" "Carry on playing. I'm not dead yet." " Yes, sir?" " l asked for the names of all the black-listed people." " Where are they?" " l'll just get them, sir." "Greetings, Inspector." "I'm lucky to be remembered by a big officer like you." " What can I do for you?" " Are you Sher Khan?" "You're new here, sir." "Else, who doesn't know me?" "Anyway, now we've met." "Stand properly till you're asked to sit down!" "This is a police station, not your own house!" "Sir, till today nobody has spoken like this to me." "It's not you who's speaking, but your uniform and chair!" "When you're without this uniform and chair, that day..." "Don't shout, sir!" "You'll get a sore throat." "Ring your bell and ask the constable to lock me up." " Sir, this file." " Constable..." " Take Sher Khan and show him out." " No need." "I had come on my own." "I'll go by myself!" "Good day!" "I heard that you were called at the police station today." "A new officer has come who doesn't know me." "He'll know me by and by." "Get me a cup of tea, son." "is this the area where people know you, Sher Khan?" "Now, I neither have my uniform nor my chair." "And I'm off duty." "This is your domain and I'm all alone." "Come to the point, sir." "Nobody's to interfere!" "Up, sir!" "For the first time in my life, I've met a lion-hearted man." "Let's shake hands." "By tomorrow morning, all your gambling dens and other joints will have to shut down!" "Only then I'll shake hands with you." "I don't wait for tomorrow, what I can do today." "Everything is closed from this moment." "Shake!" "Boy!" "Two teas." "Look, your job is not to fight for your personal respect but to save the public from any sort of tyranny." "Sher Khan has shut all his dens forever." "I told you before, if you're going to work with me it'll be according to the law and its principles." "May I speak to inspector Vijay Khanna?" "A truck with contraband liquor will pass Maze Road checkpost today." " Who's talking?" " The number is MRY 9 5 54." " What's your name?" "Where are you?" " The number is..." " What's the matter?" " The cops caught one of our trucks." "For such a small matter, you came running to me?" "This hasn't happened in the last 1 2 years, sir." " Was our man caught?" " No." "The driver left the truck and fled." " Where did this happen?" " At Maze Road check post." " And the police officer there?" " A new chap." "Do one thing. invite him also, to our party the day after." " What is it, Teja darling?" " Nothing." "Kabir said some police officer is in need of some money." "Inspector Vijay Khanna." "You're inspector Khanna?" "Come, I'll introduce you to Teja." "He's coming this way in fact." "Rather, Inspector Khanna." "I don't smoke." "I was very eager to meet you." "People praise you a lot." "I've also read your name in the papers many times." "I don't usually attend parties." "But..." "The S.P. said I must meet you." "He too was praising you a lot!" "Mona, look after him." "Mr. Vijay..." "Consider this as your own home." "No formalities whatsoever." " Ofcourse." " Actually the thing is..." "What will you have?" "Anything cold, or hot?" " Or better, something strong?" " A glass of water, please." "Water?" "Neat, or in your whisky?" "Here you are." "You've come to the party, but your heart is elsewhere." "Talk to me, please." "Unfortunately I can't converse." "So you may get bored with me." "Look, please don't be mean." "EROS" "Shrewd buyers always gauge other buyers' prices before buying anything." "So what have you estimated?" "What I've experienced is, those who stay aloof at parties are usually very stubborn." "And it'll be very difficult to ` buy' this man." "Teja, the more I know you, I feel I don't know you at all!" "At times, I think you manage this huge business all by yourself." "It must require so much knowledge and experience!" "I've learnt all this from Mr. Patil." "Whatever I am today, is due to Mr. Patil." "I'm hearing you praise somebody for the first time." "Truly, Mr. Patil must have been a fantastic man!" "Had he been alive today, I'd have definitely met him." "But, how did he die?" "I killed him." "Tomorrow morning a van will pass from the Curzon Road check post." " Who's calling?" "I want to meet you." " The number is..." " Yes, go on." " The number is MRZ 6 1 4 1 ." "Why don't you tell your name?" "You've helped the police." "You..." "The number is MRZ 6 1 4 1 ." "Where do you get this information?" "I want to know if..." "Goga, I've seen many, but I've never seen a driver like you." " Aren't you scared someone may come suddenly?" " Then it's his funeral!" "With this one eye of mine, I can see the road clearly." "Not those who walk on the road." "Understand?" "Being funny, eh?" "Here, have a cigarette." "You lot take the wireless and go from that side." "Get at the back." "Ask the van to chase the truck and get that girl here." " Did the police identify Goga?" " No." " They've just arrested him." " lt isn't as though someone saw him and then identify him for the police, is it?" "He said a knife-sharpening girl may have seen him." "She may..." "Give that girl 5-1 0 grand, and burn that truck!" " How much is it?" " 5 thousand." "But you'll have to hold your tongue." "For this kind of money, I'll be a mute all my life!" "The coroner's report will come later Then the bodies can be handed over." "The condition the bodies are in..." "How will the parents bear the sight?" " l got the girl, sir." " Why bring her here?" " You only..." " Your name?" " Mala." " Where do you live?" "Look, you are brought here because you were standing where that truck stopped for a second, and you saw the driver." "Me?" "No, I didn't see anybody." "I was doing my work." "You mean, even when there was such a big accident nearby you continued to work?" "A truck came at a high speed and braked very near you, and you didn't even see it?" " l did see, sir." " Fine Come to the police station tomorrow." "We've arrested a few suspects." "Identify the driver among them." "No!" "I can't do that. I didn't see anyone, so how can I identify?" " You're lying!" " Why should I lie, sir?" "Firstly, I didn't see, and even if I did, I don't remember." "Excuse me." "Why should I identify when I've not lost any relative?" "Let those who've lost their near ones do it!" "Why should I bother?" "Right?" "Don't involve me in this." "I can't identify." "May I go now?" "Look, these are the bodies of those kids, who were crushed to death!" "They are not related to you, but, take a look, before you leave." "The truck's wheel went over his head." "An only son." "When his mother saw his body, she didn't shed a tear." "Just stared at him like a mad woman!" "Come here!" "Among you all, there is that man who with his truck, crushed 5 innocent children." "Who is he?" "You?" "You?" "Or is it you?" "Today I don't have an eye-witness who can identify that beast!" "But whoever he is among you, better listen carefully." "If I've ever taken a vow in my life, it'll be today!" "That man can't avoid me forever." "One day or the other, I'll..." " Let them go!" " Sir, this girl wants to see you." "I'll identify the man. I saw him with my own eyes." "Who is he?" "Tell me." "Hurry up." "You bastard!" "I'll kill you!" "Sir, this man should be hung!" "What's wrong with you?" " Yes, sir?" " Bring this man to my room." " What's this?" " Money. 5 thousand in all." "Two men had come to me and asked me to hold my tongue." "Do you know those men?" "Then why..." "Those kids I saw in the morgue... I couldn't lie. I don't want this money." "You donate it to an orphanage." "May I go now?" "Wait." "Your name's Mala?" "What you've done today is... I'm very..." "Thank you." " How come you remembered me?" " l had some work with you." "Yes, tell me what it is. I'm lucky to be of any help to you." " Sit down." "Will you have a drink?" " No, thanks." "Mr. Teja..." "Do you know this man?" " No." "Who is he?" " See carefully." "You may have seen him somewhere." "Wait. I'm long-sighted you see." " ...that, once seen, it can never be forgotten." "You're right." "Even I didn't forget it." "Okay. I'll go now." "However, you may be interested to know..." " ...that a girl has identified him." " Really?" " Oh yes." "This man is in custody now." "He hasn't made a statement as yet." "But... he will!" " Had you given the money to that girl?" " Yes, sir." "That girl will not reach the court!" "Sir!" "Open the door, sir." " Sir, save me!" "They'll kill me." " Who?" " What's wrong?" " They're after me." " Hold on." " Don't go, sir." "Nothing will happen to me." "You go inside." "Go on." "There's nobody outside." "Look, Mala..." "Don't cry. I know why they want to..." " Nobody can hurt you here." " No, sir." "They've become my enemies for life!" "They'll kill me!" "How can they?" "is this a jungle for people to kill as they wish?" "There's police and the law after all. lsn't there?" "Then?" "Now stop crying." "And you're a brave girl." "Got scared so fast?" "Remember when I first met you?" "How you had collared that hoodlum?" " Then, why did he..." " He doesn't trouble you now though." "No." "Since I boxed his ears he calls me "sis" ." "Rascal!" "Look, my phone's not working, else I'd have called a jeep for you." "I don't want you to go home all alone." "That's why..." " l'll escort you to your house." " No, sir." " Why?" "Till the police catch them, I'll not about your family?" " Don't worry." "Suppose they come again?" " lf you don't go home, what about your family?" " Don't worry, sir." " l've no family." " There has to be someone." "Your parents..." "No, sir. I have nobody." "I'm an orphan since childhood." " What's the matter?" " Nothing." "Just wondering." " How you live alone in this world." " So?" "Lots of people live alone." "That's true, but you're a girl." " Why don't you marry?" " Marry whom, sir?" "Look at my face." "Who'll marry me?" "Why?" "What's wrong with it?" "It's pleasant enough." " You'll find lots of..." " l didn't find a single sod!" " No swearing." " l didn't swear, sir." "Look, if you don't wish to go back to your place then go sleep in that room." "I'll sleep here." "I, over there, and you, here?" "Have you eaten anything?" "No, eh?" "Look, I also stay alone here." "I'll see if I have something to eat." "Sir!" " What is it?" " Tea." " Why did you bother?" " Why?" "Don't you drink tea?" "I do drink it." " But why in the glass." " Why?" "What's wrong?" "Nothing." " What happened?" "Tea's good." " Well, sir." "That glass..." "I had drunk from it." "I gave it to you by mistake." "Never mind." " How much sugar have you put?" " 4 tea-spoons. ls it less?" " No." "Perfect." "A good combination." "By drinking one glass of tea one's mouth will be sweetened for the entire day!" " Who makes tea for you daily?" " l do it myself." "Who else?" "You're also alone like me, sir." "Don't you get scared in such a big house?" " l've sort of got used to it." " Don't say that, sir." "I also live alone, but one never gets used to living alone." " One always wishes that..." " What?" " What I'm saying." "To have siblings, parents." "Everyone living in harmony." "Share one's joys and sorrows." " Did I say something wrong?" " No, you're absolutely right." "One never gets used to living alone." "One always wishes that..." "EROS" " Greetings, sir." " Where is your Master and Mistress?" " They..." " Hello!" "We're waiting for you." " Hello, sister-in-law." "This is..." " Come here." "This is Mala." "And this, is my sister-in-law." "Don't be so formal." "Be comfortable, come on." " When did you come?" " Just now." " You're always busy in your cases." "This is my husband, Vijay's brother." "So, this is Mala." "Look, here you'll have no problem." " Except for my wife's chatter!" " Why does he object to my chatter?" "Come, Mala, let's go." "If you've no objection, may I..." " Yes of course." "Take her." " Come, my dear." " A nice girl." " Yes." "She has nobody." " l thought she'd learn something if she stays here." " Good." "My wife will have company too." "She's all alone the whole day." "One can't believe this girl could be so brave!" "That man she helped to arrest." "Has he told you anything?" "No, not as yet." "But he will." " Let me sleep. - l haven't slept for days, so how can you?" " Talk!" " l know nothing." "You know everything!" "Whom do you work for?" "I know nothing, I tell you." "Nothing!" "Listen. I've seen bigger criminals than you, break down here." "I'll go on asking you forever, and you'll have to tell me!" "This inspector is beginning to disturb me a bit too much." " Yes, sir?" " lt won't be bad, if this problem is erased forever." "I'll take 2 of my men today, and... I don't want to use my men for this job." "Find an old foe of the inspector." "And bribe him heavily." "This inspector's a queer guy too." "He just doesn't accept bribes." "Just as dishonesty is a weakness with some honesty is also a weakness with others." "If I don't find a proper man to finish off the inspector he'll find himself in jail, with all his honesty and integrity." "Jail?" " Are you Sher Khan?" " By working under a car does one become somebody else?" " Come to the point." " Someone's to be bumped off!" "So bump him off!" "Why take my permission?" "You've to do the job." "So name your price." "First tell me the victim's worth." "2 5 thousand now, and the same, when the job's done." "Okay?" "An inspector's life is worth 50,000 /- ?" "Sounds like a very honest officer." "His name?" "I don't hunt tigers!" "As it is, our country has very few tigers left." "I hear even the Government has banned tiger-hunting." "Sher Khan, 50,000 " " Rupees is not a small sum." "You're lucky that you said this under my roof." "I don't raise my hand in my house even at my foe!" "Anywhere else and at the rate of 50,000 /- l'd have earned 1 50,000 /-!" "Get out, you devils!" "Take that..." "Take away the ill-gotten money." "Get out!" " lt's you sir." " What's this?" "Come outside." " Just this one left." " Give it to me." "Now come out." "Look. I didn't bring you here to sharpen the knives." " l brought you here to learn." " l've learnt a lot from " Bhabhi" ." "What have you learnt?" "Who a... enough." " Any mistake, sir?" " Why do you call me "Sir" ?" " Don't you know my name?" " Yes." "Vijay, sir." " Again, `sir'?" " My name's Vijay." "Call me Vijay." " Greetings, Vijay Khan!" "You, Sher Khan?" "Come on in." " Why here?" " Where are you?" "I'm looking for you since morning." "Today, I lost 50,000 /- because of you!" " What!" "How come?" " l'll tell you." "This is Mala." "Mala, this is Sher Khan." "A very good friend of mine." "She may, or may not know me, but I've understood her well." " What do you know?" " Look, I may not be married..." "But I've attended many weddings!" "You're like a younger sister." "Don't mind if I talk like this." "I'm always joking." "Vijay, hear this." " Anything special?" " Why would I come here otherwise?" "Your life's in danger." "Some men offered me 50,000 /- to kill you!" " So?" "You should've taken it!" " Don't be funny. I'm worried." "Don't worry about me." "They can't do anything to me." "I know you're daring and brave." "But remember a pack of wild dogs can kill even a tiger." "I'll be your bodyguard." " No, friend." "I'm a police officer. I know how to deal with such people very well." "Okay. lt was my duty to warn you." "But if I can be of help, tell me." "Go, she's waiting for you." "God bless you two." " What is it?" "All's well l hope." " Yes, it is." "This man, Sher Khan, is a very nice man." "If anything happens to me, then trust just two people." " My brother Anil, and Sher Khan." " Why are you saying this?" " What will happen to you?" " Nothing." "Just telling you." " Okay, sir. - "Sir" again?" " l won't say it again." "I'll go now." "See you in the evening." " Listen..." " What is it?" " Shall I say it?" " Yes." "Go on say it." "Sir!" "Sir!" "Greetings, sir." " Greetings." "How are things running?" " l run a peddle-cart." "I was going to come myself and see you." "That money you gave..." " No hurry." " Sir, I've a room in this very lane." "Please come." " l told you, no hurry." " lf you have a cup of tea with me..." " ...it'll add to my status, sir." " l'm late already." "Some other day." "Just 2 minutes, sir." "Please come." "Okay, but don't waste time." "Sit in the jeep." "Get 2 cups of tea." "Come in, sir." " This is it, sir." " Very nice." " A poor man's abode." "Come and sit down, sir." "Wait, sir." " lt's okay..." " Sit down, sir." " Sir, take this." " Look, I'll say it again." " lf you need it, keep it." " lf l need it, I'll ask for it." " Please take it." " Think again." " lt's okay, sir." " As you wish!" "I'm happy to see you leading an honest life." " lt's all due to you, sir." " Okay then, I'll go now, lt's late." "Your tea, sir." "Hey you, get the tea, pronto!" " We're from the Anti-Corruption Bureau." " So?" "What do you want?" " We want to search you." " Search me?" "But..." "What the hell..?" " Same notes." " They were given to me by this man." "And we had given them to him." " They're all marked." " What do you mean?" "Look, sir." "You took a bribe from this man." " l didn't!" "Explain Gangu." " He only reported against you, sir." "It wasn't a false report either." "You saw it for yourselves." "What a strange coincidence." "You're the only one who believes me." "But being a Government lawyer, you've to fight against me..." " No!" "He resigned yesterday." " Left his job?" " For my sake?" " No." "Not really." "Thought I'd start a private practice now." "You haven't spoken to Mala yet." "Come, dear." "We'll be outside." "Mala..." "Will you do me a favor?" " Yes?" " Please don't come and see me here." "All of you." "I don't like it." "I feel very tense." " You..." " Come along." "Go." "Go on, Mala." "It's me, sir." "Right ho." "Very well, sir." " Where's Gangu?" " l don't know." " l said where's Gangu?" " l really don't know." "You devil's disciple!" "Come here!" " Where is Gangu?" " Room No. 1 2." "You, Khan?" " You lied about the inspector?" " l didn't do anything." " Lied about him?" " Sir, sir..." " They gave me 3,000 /-." " Today is the last hearing." "You'll go to the court and speak the truth." "You'll go to the court and tell them the truth!" " lf l do that they'll kill me." " lf you lie, I'll kill you here!" " Then what shall I do?" " Tell the Court the truth. - l will." "According to the witnesses, and the proofs presented to the court the court finds the accused guilty of accepting bribe." "And for this, he's sentenced to 6 months in jail and fined 5,000 /-!" "If the fine is not paid, the jail term will be increased by 1 month." "You know Vijay has to pay a fine of Rs. 5,000 /-." "If it's not paid, his jail term will increase by 1 month." "His brother doesn't have a job." "I know how they're pulling on." "Don't make me feel small." "I'll see that the money is paid." "No!" "I don't wish you to bear all the burden." "I've a little saved up when I used to work." " Rs. 22 1 and a few ornaments." " l told you." "Don't make me feel petty." "You'll get the money." "Go now." " Greetings, sir." " Sher Khan!" "Come and sit." "What's the matter?" "Not seen you in ages." "And why are you here?" "I need some..." " Yes, go on." " ...money." " Money?" "When have I refused you?" "How much do you need?" " Rs. 5,000 /-." " Really?" "Well, never mind." "Hey you!" "See how much we have in the safe." "You know market procedures." "Don't think we don't trust you." "This is a business method." "Got anything as security?" "I've nothing to keep as security." " Oh dear..." " Yes. I do have one thing." " lf you value its true cost." " Who'll value it correctly than me?" " Tell me, what is it?" " A hair from my moustache!" "Oh come on. I can make out a dud coin and an honest man." "Tolaram!" "Get Rs. 5,000, will you?" "Here you are." " But, what of the interest?" " interest?" " Forget it." "Take it." " l'll never forget this gesture." "I had come to take a loan, but instead, you bought me!" " Here, count it." " Now I'll count the days To pay back your loan." "EROS" " How are you Sher Khan." " God has been kind." "How are you?" " Mala, how is my brother, and his wife?" " Fine." "Come, sit in the jeep." "We'll go and meet them." " No." "I've to meet somebody." "I'll meet you all later." " Vijay!" " Let him go!" "I know where he's going." " lt's that inspector" " Sit!" "He has lost his job now." "Let me talk to the gentleman." "Come on sir. lt'll bring you luck." "Either try your luck or push off." "Why are you spoiling my trade?" "I lost my cool a bit, sir." "I'm really broke today." "This is Vijay here, Teja." " l've come out." " Want me to send you in again?" " l wish to see you." " Come on over." " Who was calling?" "Just somebody wasting time." "That inspector's come out." "Just keep tabs on him." "I'm here, Teja." "I don't attack from behind like some cowards do." "I've come to tell you, that I'll finish you!" "Go ahead." "Why wait?" "I'm right in front of you." "Not so easily, Teja." "I spent 6 months in jail because of you." "There, I remembered you every day;" "Every moment in fact." "But now, for the next 6 months, every moment of every hour you'll look over your shoulder." " And then..." " You can't do anything!" "You've lost your job as a law man." "Why not join me?" "It's a promise. I'll make it really big for you." "And I promise you, that I'll snuff life out of you!" "Don't bite more than you can chew!" "If I want my men can finish you like this!" "Before leaving let me tell you this." "After today tell your men to be close to you because your short sight is weak." "And secondly, to smoke while eating is a very bad habit!" "Tell Teja that a couple of broken sofas of his, are in my bathroom." " Ask him to collect them." " Who's speaking?" " He knows." " Where are you going?" " The same place." " Where I lived before I met you." " Why?" "If I stay, I'll dream and, I can't sit and see them being broken." "No dream of yours will be broken Mala." " l promise you..." " No!" "Don't make any promises." "You're not helpless, anymore." "You don't need me." "I thought, the world has scarred you badly." "It has hurt you hundreds of times." "But when you come out of jail, I'd heal those wounds with my love." "I'll free you from bitterness." "But you never came out." "Even today you're shut in a jail of hatred where you see one thing." "Understand just one thing." "Revenge, and nothing else!" "You've so much hate for some people that there's no place for love in your heart." "I know the consequences of the game you've chosen to play." "I can't go on watching... lt's better that I leave this house." "Don't!" "Don't go, Mala." "I promise to forget them all." "I'm always ready to shake hands in friendship." "Put that hand away, Teja." "And remember one thing." "If I don't consider you as a foe it's not because I'm scared, but because of personal reasons." "I won't embarrass you and ask, what those personal things are." "But I'll tell my men today, that they're not to consider you..." "...even a foe, if not a friend." "Okay?" " Okay." "And tell them this too, that, your life is no longer in danger." " Goodbye." " My life, indeed!" "Do you trust this venomous snake?" " Let's go home." " Okay." " What did he say?" " Said "You forget me..." " ...and I'll forget you" ." " l see." "I don't know about Vijay..." "But I don't forget!" "Honestly, I'm not scared of anybody but myself." "If I stay here, I'll remember everything once again." "I have decided, that, we'll go somewhere far away." "We'll start a new life in some new place." " We'll have a cute house." " You just see how I run it." "Bhabhi has taught me everything." "How to run a home economically." "Decorate it simply." "And I'll cook for you..." " Sew buttons on your shirts." " One minute." " Don't have a phone!" "It always irritates like an uninvited guest!" " No, not inspector, just Vijay." "Who's calling?" " Didn't you recognize my voice?" " Oh, it's you." " But it's no use phoning me now." " l want to meet you." " Where can we meet?" " Look..." "Right..." " Who was it?" " That's what I want to know too." "Come here, son." "Are you the one, who..." " Yes." " You always informed the police." "But you never showed your face, nor gave your name. - l'm D'Silva." "Weren't you ever tempted to get a reward for the information you gave?" "To keep this living corpse mobile rewards are not really needed." "Just some food." " Then why do you take the trouble?" " l'll tell you." "Can you see these 3 graves?" "They belong to my 3 sons." "This is Roger's." "This is George's and that one is Tony's." "Roger was 23 years old." "George, 22 years old." "And Tony?" "He was the youngest." "He was just 1 9. I loved my sons very much." "I brought them up with great care." " God's will, will be done." " No!" "Had God snatched them,... I'd have tolled the bell morning and evening for their peace." "Then who snatched your sons?" "This thing." "Exactly 2 years ago today." "It was X-mas Eve." "It was Christ's birthday." "The whole world was rejoicing." "My sons also got this bottle to make merry." "When I came back from the church my world had crumbled." "The adulterated liquor from this bottle ...snatched my sons from me." "What a lovely gift my sons left behind as a X-mas gift for me." "This empty bottle!" "For 2 years now, I'm holding this empty bottle like a child and roaming around!" "People in each and every liquor den think I'm crazy." "Whatever I heard from them, I used to tell you on the phone." "I stayed alive carrying this sorrow in my heart so that I can expose those people who make this hooch." "The moment I came to know, I called you over here." " No. I'm not a police officer now." " So what?" " You're a good man, aren't you?" " You've called me too late." "I've promised someone." "I can't do anything for you." "You can't do anything?" "Okay." "And why should you?" "I've lost my sons." "Why should you bother?" "He was someone different who died on the cross for others." "But, remember one thing, son." "Each home will have a graveyard and fathers will lug empty bottles!" "Don't be a coward." "Help me!" "I misjudged you." "I'm crazy, you see." "Mad!" "Go home, son." "Go now." "Look at these lovely interiors." "How beautiful these curtains are!" "When you make our home, I'll hang such curtains in it." "Look!" "Please." "Nice!" "We'll also hang such curtains in our home." "And I won't even bother to know what's going on on the other side of them." "Outside..." "Outside our beautiful curtains, if people are dying. let them!" "Let smugglers' trucks crush innocent kids." "Why should I care?" "I promise you, Mala, if I hear them scream I'll hide my face in your hair and look in your lovely eyes." "And not remember that an aged father is searching for his sons' killers!" "Sure, Mala!" "We'll make a beautiful home." "We'll forget that this world, in which we've made a home is such an ugly place!" "There's so much of tyranny." "So much of injustice!" "We'll forget it all!" "Alright?" "So be it, Mala." "So be it!" "What's the problem?" "He keeps silent, That's the problem." "He's doesn't talk, nor laugh." "He gets irritated with me." "Ask him what wrong I have done." "If I stop him from doing something, is it for my own gain?" " What if he gets hurt?" " Trust in God." "Vijay will be fine." "If this continues, something will definitely happen to me!" " He just doesn't laugh anymore." " Right." "Send him to my house." "He changed my life." "Taught me many things." "Can't I teach him to laugh again?" "Go and tell him, that it's my birthday today, and he has to come." "Go!" " l couldn't get you a nice gift I'm afraid." " Gift." "I've already got the gift I most desired in my life." "Even if my Maker asks me what I want, I'll have just one answer." " What?" " l won't tell you yet." "Today's my B-day, so be seated." "Make room please." "Now I'll explain to you." "EROS" "Wonderful!" "I shall await your next birthday very eagerly." " lt wasn't my birthday!" "Felt like meeting friends, so I had a party." "I was so tiny when I was born, that I don't even know my B-day!" " Then let's have a birthday tomorrow again." " Done!" " Okay then. I'll go now." " l'll drop you." "Hey!" "Get the jeep." "Don't bother, I'll go on my own." "There's an English proverb." " "Walk a mile, after you dine"" " Listen, friend..." "The Englishman who said this, must not be having an enemy." "I've told you before;" "I don't trust those friends." " You trust in God, don't you?" " But of course." " Then don't worry." " Okay, I'll go now." " As you wish." " God bless." " What is it, Khan?" " May God have mercy." "I've had a nightmare!" " The blood group matches, Sir" " See doctor?" " l told you, our blood will match." " Had you got it tested before?" " The need never arose." " Then how were you so sure?" "Simple." "He's lion-hearted-too." "Our blood has to match!" " Strange logic!" "Come on." " Okay." "Why don't you tell me?" "I promise we'll hold an enquiry." " l won't change my statement." " But your statement... I slipped on the staircase of the bridge!" "Sit down." "I'm not saying this as a police officer but as an elderly person." "Sir, why doesn't Mr.Vijay give a true statement?" "You won't understand." "He wants to take revenge himself." "How long will you sulk like this?" "You're silent the whole day like a mute." "That reminds me!" "Sit down, I'll tell you a joke." "This friend of mine, was charged with murder." "His lawyer said "You talk too much" ." "" But when the defense lawyer questions you, play mute."" ""Just keep doing..."" "By the grace of God, he won." "His lawyer said " Look, we've won, so pay me." "Know what my friend said?"" "You're strange!" "I tell a joke, and you don't laugh?" "I told a joke for the first time in my life and this happens!" "Now you only by to convince him." "I'm going." "Go on, talk it over." "Vijay." "See that picture there?" "Bhabhi said there used to be a volcano there." "One day the volcano erupted and lava flowed..." "And by and by there formed a sweet-water lake." "Yes!" "I know." "But why all this... to me?" "Because there's a volcano within you too." "Unless it erupts and the lava flows, there can never be a sweet-water lake!" "There was a time when I held you back." "But today I request you." "Go!" "Go and take revenge on them, who have made you like this." "Because of whom you're suffocating within." "I promise you, Vijay. lf any thing should happen to you... I'll be fine." "However, before I go I'd like to say something." "Something which I've said to myself many times, but never to you." "Where are you going?" "Come here." " Get in." " You know where l'm going." "I do." "And for friendship's sake, I'm willing to go even to hell!" "Sit." "I've come." "Where are we to go?" "Within one week our city hospitals have had 7 5 serious cases effected by illicit hooch laced with some ammonium chloride." "Some will die, Some will go blind, others..." "As soon as possible we've to find the place where this hooch is made." "Find the routes from where it's taken out to be distributed." "Find the people who make business out of this." " l can tell you, sir." " You?" "I know the businessman who sells death filled in bottles." " Who?" " A highly respected big shot!" "Mr. Dharam Dayal Teja!" " Do you know what you're saying?" " Very well, sir." "Any proof?" "Tell them what all you told me." " Come on, talk!" " Don't hit me. I'll tell you." "Kabir here." "Catastrophe, Sir!" "All our joints have been raided." "Our men were caught." "Only our flat and Garden House is spared." "When was this?" "An hour ago." "Police are after you." "Better get out, sir." "Do one thing." "Send Mona to the Garden House and you come here." " No need to panic." " Right, sir." "Cigarette?" "As you wish." "Teja has gone." "Now we can get to him only through that girl." " Give me the bottle." " Why?" "To return it to the man, who gave it to your sons." "Mona, you're here?" "Very good." " Now what?" "I don't understand." " Don't fret so, my dear." "Soon we'll be far away from this country." " Kabir will come soon." "And our boat may come here at any time now." "The police don't know about our Colaba flat as yet." "Go and get whatever cash you find there." " All my jewels are there too." " You go with him and come directly." " But you, and all alone?" " l'm not alone." "This is with me." "Go by the back door." "The game's up for you." "I don't accept defeat so easily." "But good thing that you came personally." "Today I've come to return this bottle to you." "The adulterated hooch from this bottle snatched Mr. D'Silva's 3 young, able sons." "But Vijay. India is such a vast country that every minute some people die and some are born." "Now tell me, how to keep account of all those who die and are born?" "But, this poison was given to them by you." "Maybe I did give them poison, but I drink Scotch." "And I'll offer some to you too." "Have a drink made by me before you die." " What happened?" " Twenty years ago you had murdered a man and his wife!" "I've killed many people in my life." "Here, have this." "That man's name was Ranjit." "Yes." "But how do you know?" "That day you committed 2 murders." "When in fact you should have committed 3!" " What do you mean?" " l'll explain." "That 3rd person, is me!" "Son of Ranjit and Sumitra!" "For 20 long years, that bracelet in your hand was biting my insides like a snake." "But now..." "Now I remember everything." "The pistol in your hand." "My father's wounded chest." "My mother falling to your bullet." "I recall everything!" "I won't spare you now." "Never!" "Rascal!" "That night you held the gun." "Today, I'm holding it." "That was a Diwali Night." "Today is one too." "But won't kill you so easily!" "You bloody rascal!" "If you have the guts..." "Here!" "You devil!" "In a Train, without permission smoking is not allowed!" "Love your life so much, eh?" " Tell him to let go Teja." "Else..." " You'll kill me?" "You devil's disciples!" "My skull is made of iron!" "Shoot me in the chest!" "You dumb nitwits." "Why do you stop?" "If I die, thousands will be born." "If a rascal like Teja lives, thousands of good folks will die!" "Let me go!" "I'll kill him!" "This man's a killer." "I'll kill him!" "I've a warrant here to arrest you, Mr.Teja." "No need to show it to me." "I'm ready to come with you." "Come." "But first you'll have to come with me, Sir!" "Throw down your arms." "Else, I'll shoot him." "And now you'll escort me to the place I want to go." "If you want you can shoot me." "But I'm not going anywhere." "You'll accompany me!" "Understand?" "I really made a mistake." "I should've murdered 3 people." "Never mind." "I'll kill the 3rd one now..." " Greeting." "Sir." " Hello, Khan." "2 devils disciples"
