Ibrahim Khan, Iqlak Ahmed,

Mohammed Zaheer and Khursheed Lala.

Who are these guys?

You yourself had caught two of them.

And the ATS got the other two.

I hope it is not difficult.

Why would it be? We are used to it.

First we put our lives at

stake and catch them and...

...Then when we get a phone

call and we set them free.

You will do the same thing today.

They all are in different places

right now. I'll call you in an hour.

Till then it is your job to

get them together at one place.

On whose behalf are you doing this?

What is the name of

your organization?

Do you suspect that

this is a crank call?

I do.

Mr. Rathod, you must

know by now that...

...Jignesh Sheth had died

in the last bomb blast.

The next number

belonged to Sanjay Singh...

...who had died three months back.

The current number that

you will trace belongs to...

...Shabbir Ahmed who has

also died a long way back.

Any Tom, Dick and Harry can do this.

Yes I agree. But any Tom,

Dick and Harry...

...cannot blow away

the police station...

...which is just opposite

your Police headquarters.

What do you mean?

It means I have also planted a

bomb in the police station...

...opposite your

headquarters just to prove...

...my seriousness and

your helplessness.

You have 20 minutes to

find it. So go find it.

Or else an hour later I may

have to talk to someone else.

Mr. Prakash, can we go

out for half an hour.

Jai!

- Yes sir!

Are you afraid?

- No sir.

Are you married?

- Two years ago.

Do you have a kid?

- I have a 3-month-old daughter.

What happens if you die?

- I don't care.

I want that bomb found within

ten minutes. - You'll get it, sir.

Give me your radio.

- Sir.

Hello. - Naina Roy,

someone has planted a bomb...

...in the police station

opposite the headquarters.

I thought you'd be interested.

- Oh God!

Relax guys! This man

wants us to find the bomb.

He wants us to take him seriously.

He wants us to find it.

We just have one hour. I don't want

to talk to this man again.

Sir, Chouhan is on the line.

Chouhan, tell me.

Sir, the intelligence has

no information about this.

That's consistent.

Chouhan, step up security at airports,

rail stations and bus depots.

Search everything and everyone.

Send them in batches of 4

to the multiplexes as well.

I want you to cover up as

much ground as possible.

If someone asks tell them

it is just a police drill...

...or tell them it's the

CM's orders. Get on it now!

All units alert, sir.

Deshmukh, where is my bomb squad?

Aakash, call up Arif.

I want him here a. S. A. P.

And I want an update on

Ibrahim Khan, Iqlak Ahmed...

...Mohammad Zaheer

and Khursheed Lala.

You've got ten minutes.

- Yes sir.

Then send them here!

Bomb squad! Come in!

Bomb squad! Come in!

Has nobody seen Baburao?

Yeah Mhatre, come in.

Copy that.

What is it?

- Sir, it is RDX.

Come here! A bomb was

placed right under nose!

What the hell were you doing?

Who is the shift in-charge?

Sir, there was a shift

change just half an hour ago.

I don't know anything.

Find him in 5 minutes and

send him to me. - Okay sir.

Sir! We have located

the bomb. It is RDX.

He had planned to

trigger it with a cell phone.

Good.

Sir, please come this way.

I have solid information.

There has been a

pull-up from the underworld.

He had supplied 6 kgs of

RDX couple of days back.

He has not started talking yet.

On threatening him

he said he has taken...

...his painkillers already just

this morning. - That's a new one.

Sir, I don't know anything!

Did I ask you anything?

Did I ask you anything?

Did I ask you anything?

Did I ask you anything?

Did I ask you anything?

Did I ask you anything?

Nobody has confirmed

this information but...

...suddenly there is a lot of

activity in the police station.

You can see the bomb squad

and the sniffer dogs here.

They have just come out.

But we have been denied

any information about it.

We would like to inform

our viewers once again that...

...we had received information...

...about the bomb

via a telephone call.

Seems that the bomb has

been found and diffused.

We have not received

any confirmation yet.

But we will keep trying.

From Mumbai this is Naina Roy with

cameraman Raj for UTV news. - Over.

I want the forensic report

immediately in the WAR room.

Sir!

- Okay sir.

Thank you.

Mhatre come in. Copy.

Sir, the Psycho has arrived.

Someone's going to die today.

Hello.

- Are you busy?

Yes. Not really.

We have reached here safely.

How is mom?

- She is fine.

Give it to me.

What is the matter?

Are you worried about something?

Not at all.

- I'll call you before leaving.

Okay. Take care. Bye.

There was no direct contact with me.

I only gave the delivery.

I got a message to

deliver that bag to Rafiq.

He was Rafiq's customer.

I asked Rafiq who he was.

He said, your place is

behind and asked me to shut up.

Where can I find Rafiq?

Sir, I don't know.

If I had known I would tell you.

Believe me. Sir, I would...

Bohri Market. 4th Lane.

Where are you these days?

I am with the ATS.

You got me transferred.

Yes. Arif, I want that man and

the information that he has.

Vatkar will tell you where

to find him. Don't kill him.

I just need the information.

Okay sir.

- Okay.

Yes.

- Sir, the bomb has been diffused.

Who was on duty?

- Prashant.

Tell him to go home. He will receive

his termination letter tomorrow.

Tell Kailash to take over.

The media is here. UTV news.

Bring them upstairs.

- Right sir.

Ibrahim Khan. He has

links with the Al-Qaeda.

He was

head-of-operations in India since 92.

This is his

designation on their website.

He has started 45

madrasas in the country...

...where little kids are

taught the meaning of Jihad.

On his capture they

will be weakened and if...

...he is set free then they

will be completely rejuvenated.

This is their second

attempt to free him.

He is extremely dangerous.

Lqlak Ahmed. Al Qaeda again.

Right hand of Ibrahim Khan.

He is a former ISI agent.

The theory is that...

...when you nabbed him

he wanted to get caught.

So that it would be

easy to free Ibrahim Khan.

He was directly or

indirectly involved in all...

...the terrorists attacks in

India in the last three years.

He is equally dangerous if not more.

Mohammad Zaheer. He is the

number 2 agent of Laskar in India.

He is a former ISI as well

as former Al Qaeda member.

He was a software engineer.

Due to systematic

brainwashing he went to Pakistan.

From there he went to Afghanistan.

He acquired his training over there.

He has designed a lot

of websites for them.

One of his websites is

Very basic but very effective.

It registered record number

of hits the day it launched.

He is in our C-Zone

hospital since last week.

He complained of chest pains.

Khursheed Lala. He is an arms pimp.

He is not connected to just one

organization but with all of them.

If you need arms and

explosives then this is your Guy.
