"We must know if you'll see our point of view." "My newspaper always prints the truth." "is that your last word?" "Yes!" "Neither money nor threats will make me change my mind." "Inspector Shekhar, please." "A call from the Bombay Times office." "I'm coming." "Here..." "Constable, I've been here all day." "My feet are aching." "Sir, I've been robbed." " What is it?" " Sir, he's gone." " Who are you talking about?" " He's vanished again." " Can you tell me his name?" " Oh, Lord!" "What can I say?" "How can I tell you his name?" " lt's like a ball that sinks." " You mean the moon?" " No, not the moon. lt sparkles." " 'Star'?" "You mean Tarachand?" "Ramsingh, look after the case!" "I'll tell the superintendent, the commissioner... I'll lodge a complaint, I'll write to the home minister." "You call me here every day." "You cross examine me." "Look into my eyes." "Do I look like a thief?" "We'll have to find out." "Mr. Srivastav, what made you think of me today?" "I needed help so I thought of you." "Police help?" "How can we...?" "Someone is threatening to kill me." " Who is it?" " Someone. lt'd help if you came over." "What's new, Inspector?" "Any murder, any robbery?" "Mr. Banerjee, this is the C.l.D. office, not a news agency." "I know." "You realize that as a reporter I must make public... all that takes place in this city?" "Don't bother me!" "Give this for typesetting." "What is it?" "Who are you?" "What do you want?" "Who was he?" "Where's the fellow who was standing near the lift?" "There's been a murder at the Bombay Times office." "I'm a C.l.D. officer." "We've got to follow that car." "I don't need to." "Then I will." "Stop the car." "I said, stop the car!" "What do I care?" "There's a killer escaping." "Let me get him. I'll return the car with thanks." "Before you can arrest 'him', I'll have 'you' arrested." "I've told you, I'm a C.l.D. officer." "You look more like a murderer." " ls that car following us?" " lt looks like it." "Drive faster!" "You won't catch up with them." "If you're a gentleman, you'll get me home at once." "I assure you, I'll take you home, safe and sound." "Are we to follow them all night?" "I won't stop until I've got them." "Drive faster!" "Look, the car stopped." "They've pulled over." "Check the license plate." "What is it?" "Give me the key." "The key!" "Do you realize a murderer just got away because of you?" "If you want to get home, you'll have to find the keys." "In this rain?" "If you don't want to get wet, then sit here." "I can't find them." "I'm off. I'll go and look for help." "Wait!" "Aren't you afraid of me?" "All right." "Sit in the back." "We'll look for the keys later." "Are you cold?" "Why not guess my name?"

"That's my fame." "So why not guess my name?" "It's time to go." "Will you ask me where l'll travel?" "Why not guess my name?" "I live by the bank of the river ln my yard, a swaying pipal tree spreads its cool shade over me" " What is it?" " Police." " Where were you at that time?" " l was at the press." "He sent me." " Who else was there?" " l believe..." "Who else was there?" "No one." "The editor was alone." "Was the phone in this position?" " Any fingerprints?" " l'm checking." "He may not survive." " Made any arrests?" " We're holding someone." "Any conclusions?" " Who are you?" " The sub-editor." " Did the editor smoke?" " No, nor did he eat 'paan'." " Your name?" " Master." " Occupation?" " l'm a cutter-tailor." "I cut coats and trousers." "If I need money, I'm known to cut pockets, too." "Why were you at the office?" "My stomach and brain are empty." "With some tea, my brain will start working." "Shut up!" "I'll set your brain right." " Why were you there?" " To place an ad." " An advertisement?" "What for?" " For a bride." "For whom?" " Don't you understand?" " Be quiet!" " A bride for me." " You fool!" " Whose marriage?" " Who is she?" "She was my wife to be." "I mean, she is my wife to be." "Then why place an advertisement?" "The advertisement was to look for work." "To her it's work, and to me it's marriage?" "She's the one I'll marry." "I'll work anywhere." "You talk to me of marriage, and to her of work." "What do you mean?" "Aren't you ashamed?" "You told me you'll marry me." "Who is this other girl?" "Do you both want to be put in the lockup?" "Sorry, Inspector." "This man is insane!" "This isn't your home." "Now, what do you want?" " To stand bail." " lmpossible." "Constable, take her away." " l'm glad you've come." " What are you doing here?" "He was found at the scene of the crime." "You know me very well." "Help me." "He doesn't know me." "Why were you at the Bombay Times office?" "Someone did his job before I..." "What nonsense!" "I haven't done anything." "I'm innocent." "I've spent all my life cutting cloth, never throats." " Did you see who did it?" " Of course!" "I saw him go in and come out again." "He had eyes as big as a 100 watt bulb." "Built like a wrestler." "I was trembling with fear." " Can you identify him?" " l can identify his entire clan." " You may leave." " Really!"

I am sorry, Shekhar." "The hospital phoned." "Srivastav is dead." "Why would anyone want to kill such a noble man?" "Bad news." "I'm sure there are at least two people involved." "One who committed the crime, the other who engineered it." "Srivastav sent in this article just before he was attacked." "He was about to expose someone important... but he was killed before he could accomplish that." " Have you found any clues?" " A cigarette." "Shekhar, four million people live here." "At least a million smoke." "Those who smoke hashish can be counted among the thousands." "Here's our man." "Bring him to me." " Ibrahim, let's have another." " All right, then."

"He'll be there." "You tell him." "My love, caress my neck for the last time." "It's heading straight for the noose." "You've been called to identify the killer." "You've got him?" "Let's go." "Wait!" "is he securely bound?" "I'm not scared." "But I don't get on well with cutthroats." "Well?" "Will you be able to identify the murderer?" " At once!" " Scared?" "Scared?" "Me?" "I have a lion's heart." "Which is the man you saw at the Bombay Times office?" "If looks could kill, I'd be..." "Don't worry." "We're with you." "Tell us who he is." " Point him out." "Which one?" " That one." "Speak up!" "Black coat!" "It wasn't me." "He's lying." "I'll fix you!" "Take him away!" "You may leave." "Shekhar, wake up!"

"You're so impolite." "Making yourself at home, eh?" "May I have a glass of water?" "You'll even get a lemonade." "Let father come." " Yes." "My father." " Your...?" " Father, see..." " What is it?" " That man's here again." " What man?" " The man who took my car." " Where is he?" "He's sitting there." "First, it was the car." "Now, he's followed me in." " My daughter Rekha." " Delighted to meet you." "Rekha has a bone to pick with you." "I needed a car to follow a suspect. I had no choice." "Excuse me, please." "Instead of lemonade, may I have some water?" "I'm sorry. I made a mistake." "The mistake was fortunate, or else how would we have met?" "How long have you known him?" "What did you have against him?" "Why did you kill him?" "Silence won't save you from hanging." "At 8:07 you entered the Bombay Times office." "At 8:12 you left the office, and at 8:14 I saw you near the elevator." "Fool!" "Death is as close to you as this chair before you." "A call for you, sir." "Srivastav didn't hurt a fly." "He was a noble man... and you killed him." "You'll pay." "Sooner or later, you'll tell us why you killed him." "Understand?" " Who is it?" " We've never met." " Your name?" " l can't tell you." " Can I be of help?" " Actually, I can help you." " Help me?" " Yes." "I have some information about Srivastav's murder... which will most probably fascinate you." " Come over then." " l can't." " You must come here." " But how?" "My car is parked in front of your office." "Licence plate BMZ1454." "Get into the car." "My driver will bring you here." " Are you here for me?" " Yes." "Sit down." "So you prefer tinted glass?" " Don't you find it too dark?" " l'm used to it." " Some cool breeze preferably?" " l'm not used to it." "Don't you find it stuffy?" "It's dangerous for us to be seen together." " Where are we going?" " You'll see." "Do sit down." "What can you tell me about the murder case?" "Case?" "What case?" "You told me you could shed some light on the matter." "Shed light?" "I don't like light." "Why call me here?" "I hear you like parrots." " Parrots?" " Yes, parrots." "I suppose I do." " What about you?" " Only one kinda mute one." "They're worthless." "They won't fetch 4 annas." "Name your price." "I'll pay well." "A thousand, two thousand, five thousand." " You own such a parrot." " No." "The one I own is a chatterbox."

" ls it a deal?" " Find yourself another parrot." "A bribe?" "I'm not bribing anyone." "If you won't sell, then don't." "Go ahead, Inspector." "He refuses to sell." "How high did you bid?" "What was your offer, 50,000?" " Yes." "He refused." " He's left?" "He's here, unconscious." " Good." "Have him dumped." " Where?" "On the Bombay to Agra road." "He mustn't know where he was." "Be careful!" "Rekha!" "It's you?" "You were lying unconscious on the Bombay to Agra road." "What's going on, Shekhar?" "Your friends are waiting." " Do you feel better?" " Much better, sir." "Regard this as your home." "But what happened?" "I was following a lead on the Srivastav case." "I was offered a drink and then... lt can wait." "We'll talk later." "It's Rekha's birthday." "Freshen up and come down." " Where were you?" " l am here now." "Some cake?" "You won't get any." " Here, have it." " No, thanks." " l fast on Tuesdays." " lt's only fruit, Dharamdasji." " l don't touch fruit, either." " Such principles!" " You're opening a hospital?" " lt's my duty to serve." "You're a benevolent man." "Meet Mr. Dharamdas, a well known citizen of Bombay." " Pleased to meet you." " He helps everyone." "Just today, he donated Rs. 5,000 to Srivastav's family." "Don't embarrass me, Mr. Mathur." "Have you made any progress on Srivastav's case?" " lt's his case." "Ask him." " Well..." " l haven't seen you for ages." " lt's been four years." "Four years!" "They've flown by like four days." "You're lucky to think of four years as four days." "I have so much to talk to you about." " Come along, Kamini." " No, I must leave." " Srivastav's case...?" " Nothing so far." "Excuse me." "Where have you been?" " You look pale." " Trouble with income tax?" "Kamini, meet Inspector Shekhar." " Pleased to meet you." " For the second time." " The second time?" " Yes." "Then, you were after a parrot." " A parrot?" " You offered 50,000." "I'm serious." "What's wrong with you?" "Come on, let's go." " She's the same girl." " She's a close friend." " l'm leaving, Rekha." " Why the hurry?" "It's quite late." "Bye!" " What are you doing here?" " Rekha asked me over." " How long have you known her?" " We're childhood friends." "We've no friends here." "Did Shekhar realize 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.l.D." " You're leaving?" " Yes. I have some work." " We'll meet again?" " Yes." "Shekhar, where are you going?" " l have some urgent work." " l know." " Shekhar, don't follow her." " l won't. I have work." "Do you, really?" "I don't care." "If you leave now, I'll never talk to you again." "In just an exchange of glances... we've found a new meaning in life" "Why do you sing a song as you place a hand on your heart?" "Why do you look so lost?" "What could the matter be?" "For how long have you been wandering aimlessly?" "You sway as you walk." "Even your gait has changed" "Passion fills your eyes as your hair flies" "What love has brought you to feel this ecstasy?" "No more spurts of anger." "No more threats, nor danger" "Love has, at last, conquered your heart" "How did your heart find a place for this thief?" "What is this love?" "What is this magic spell?" "Open your heart to me." "Why keep love a secret?" "So, you've given your heart to me ln just an exchange of glances... we've found a new meaning to life" "Who writes to you so often?" "Throw me a glance, too, my love." " l saw it!" "I saw it!" " You saw what?" "The suit isn't yours." "Did you pick a 'big' pocket?" "Hush!" "Someone might hear." " l'm not scared." " But I am." "I've changed my ways." "I've found myself a good job." "They give me fine clothes to wear... a car to travel about in..." "Do you mean the 'police van'?" "It picks me up and drops me home." " Don't pull my leg." " Don't you believe me?" " Well, Master?" " Look, the car's arrived." " Are you Master?" " Of course!" "Did you see that?" "They all know me here." " What's up?" "Who's the car for?" " For you!" "See that?" "It's for me." "I wasn't joking, was I?" " ls this a joke?" "Who are you?" " Your friend." " Friend?" "Where are you from?" " Over there." "Let's make a move." " lt's your first day." "Hurry." " Shall I go?" " Over here." " Go ahead. I'll be right back." " Sit down." " Thank you." " Would you like some tea?" " Absolutely!" "Who is he?" "is he the witness to the murder?" "Ask me." "Yes, I am." "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." "I beg your pardon?" "Were you speaking to me?" "Why won't I testify in court?" " Because I said so!" "Wait a minute." "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?" " lt'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?" " 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?" " l'm going straight home." "I'm very sorry." " What's up?" " The witness won't go to the court." " But you..." " l've changed my mind." "The case won't go to court." "It'll be settled in the cell." " ln the cell?" " Yes." "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..." "Name the man who is making you a scapegoat." "No one." "I keep saying 'no one'." "I'll keep asking." " Who is behind the murder?" " l'll go insane." "You'll still have to talk." "Whose orders did you obey?" " Enough!" "Or I'll die." " Tell me, who they are." "I've told you, I don't know anything." "Who are they?" "Take him away." " Please sign here, sir." " A call for you." "It's you?" "Why have you come?" "To save me?" "Why won't you speak?" "You've been sent to free me?" "Will I escape?" " You'll be freed right away." " But how?" "What's going on?" "Where is everyone?" " What's up?" " Trouble." "Open the door." " Who's responsible for this?" " We don't know, sir." "He staggered into the cell, then collapsed." "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." "who die if they prove a threat to me." " Me included?" " You're as dear as my own life." "Shekhar recognized you." "That's why I had him framed." " All is fair in love and war." " False promises, too?" " What false 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." "The court may be severe." "Three years, five 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 prisoner 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." " l would like to call a witness." " Permission granted." "First witness, Constable Rashid." "Repeat after me." " Where were you that night?" " On duty, sir." " 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." "He was out of his cell for three hours." " Where was he?" " ln the charge room." " Who was he with?" " Inspector Shekhar." "It is clear the prisoner left his cell in good health." "He then spent three 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?" " l 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." " l want to know what you heard." " Cries, sir." " Beating?" " No," " What was it?" " He shouted 'let me go'." " Could it imply beating?" " Not necessarily." " But it's possible?" " Anything is possible." "The prisoner shouted for three hours to be left alone." " ls that right?" " Yes, sir." "Have you anything to say?" " No, sir." " 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?" "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?" " l 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 have you been in jail?" " 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." "concede that he died five minutes after entering the cell." "May I ask, my lord, if three hours are needed to kill a man?" "Wouldn't five minutes suffice?" "Doctors say death can result from a single blow." "A blow can be delivered in three hours or in five minutes." "I'd like to conclude." "On the one hand, you have heard the testimony of known criminals." "On the other, stands one who has served the police for ten years." "I concede the murder could've taken place in a few moments." "The question is, who would benefit by it?" "Shekhar!" "If he had succeeded in getting a confession..." "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 remain a secret." "What secret?" "Who is this man?" "Can you tell us who he is, and where he lives?" "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... as 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." " l know their decision." "I'll be imprisoned." "And you'll visit me there." "It won't make much difference." " Why not?" "You're innocent." " l 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." "Forget I was ever a police officer." "You met a murderer." " You are beyond compare." " What is it?" "Rekha told me everything." "You'll be imprisoned even though you're innocent?" "Nonsense!" " lt's beyond you." " lt's beyond 'you'." "These people are no small fry like me." " You're right." " You can't go in the lockup." " We'll deal with him later." " You're mad." "Maybe." "But at least hear me out." "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?" " ln 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." "Search every ship in port!" "Shekhar must be found." "Dead or alive." " What is it?" " Nothing." "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" "Oh 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 first 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" "Be careful." "He could be anywhere." "You?" "What are you doing here?" " And you?" " l 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's 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." "A gun was fired at your command." "You're shaking?" "There's perspiration on your forehead." "Go on, shoot!" " 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..." " What use is money?" " lt 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 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" "Oh 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" "Speed away, the hunter is near" "Though you aim at the target your arrow pierces another" " ls he the murderer?" " Yes." " l know a way we can escape." " How?" "That way." "Go!" "Don't waste time." "Shoot them!" "Run them over!" "Shekhar and Kamini mustn't reach the police station alive." "Inspector Jagdish?" "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?" " l spoke to him myself." " Why did he call?" " He wants to give himself up." "The line got cut off." "Here they are." "Who is she?" "Who fired?" "The man who had Srivastav killed and Shersingh murdered." " Nonsense!" " lt's true." " Arrest him!" " l won't run." " You ran once before." " l can prove I'm innocent." " l 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." " l 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 lockup 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 number 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 Shekhar, I want to testify."
