Yes, sir. - Sir, there is

a sub-inspector outside.

He has seen the man.

Sir, I remember very well.

He had a black bag with him.

He had come to file a

report about his missing wallet.

What were you doing there?

Sir, there was so much

security what else could I do?

This is his number and address.

I had tried his number. Am

getting a, 'does not exist' message.

I have asked the Borivali

police to verify the address.

This is not his address.

He is not such a fool.

Take him to a sketch artist.

Make his sketch and show him.

Where is Rafiq?

- He is in Room number 12.

Show the sketch to Rafiq

and verify it. - Right sir.

Hello. I want you to go to the

main gate of Juhu Aviation...

...at exactly 5 o'clock.

- No.

Excuse me! I didn't hear that.

You are using me.

If you are not interested then

you should've told me before.

There is no dearth

of people like you.

I am indirectly helping you.

I am being party to some...

Come on! Come on! Don't

flatter yourself, Naina.

If in a cricket match

between India and Pakistan...

...India loses then nobody

blames the sports channels.

This is not a cricket match!

Yes or no!

I have a dozen

phone numbers with me.

There are a lot of news

hungry people out there.

Yes or no!

Yes.

Good. Be at the main gate of

Juhu Aviation at 5 o'clock.

Prakash, what is the plan of action?

People are on it. But until we

don't have a break through...

...we have to do what he says.

This is ridiculous! Law and

order has become a mere bystander.

Prakash, why aren't we

able to do anything about it?

We have such a big force,

we have the intelligence bureau...

...we have R and the ATS.

Why do we always become so helpless?

We can't involve the

media or sound an alert.

I just can't believe this.

We have become just useless.

Sir, we are doing our best.

But your best isn't good enough.

I think we should call

in the army and the...

They won't be of any help.

Sir!

- Tell me.

I have heard that man. I think what

Mr. Prakash is doing is right.

Instead of questioning his decisions

it would be better if we help him.

And he is competent to

deal with this crisis.

Which two officers are

going to accompany them?

Arif Khan and Jai Singh.

Prakash, you have senior

experienced officers and you are...

You have Solanki...

- Please trust me.

Prakash, there should not be

any bomb blasts in Mumbai today.

There won't be any bomb blasts.

I don't want to hand

over the four men to him.

That I will try.

Excuse me. Yes, tell me.

Ok.

Sir, the Borivali address is wrong.

There is no such

building with that name.

Where is Arif?

- He is at the armory.

Whose face did you

first see when you woke up?

My own.

I am not surprised.

Are you ready?

- Yes sir!

From here you will go

directly to TS Mills.

The four men will be

handed over to you over there.

The Special Task Force is picking

them up from their current locations.

Here are the transfer orders.

Ibrahim Khan.

- Let's go.

He will make a conference call.

There is a loudspeaker

facility in this phone.

You can listen to our conversation.

There are three routes

to reach Juhu Aviation.

You will take the quickest

one which is by the highway.

There will also be driver who will

drop all of you there. - Yes sir!

I don't think they will

make a rescue attempt.

Neither do I think they

will risk a public shootout.

There is a danger to

their lives in doing it.

This is not a pre-planned

operation. It's an extempore!

So, that's it guys. Just

keep your cool. All the best.

And come over to my place in the

evening. We'll have a drink together.

Sir!

- Okay.

Jai!

- Sir.

After everything is

over maybe you have to...

...do something... About Arif.

You know what I mean.

Understood sir.

Who is this kid?

Sir, his name is Anuj.

He is a hacker.

He helps us very often

to crack cyber crimes.

Is he that qualified?

He is a college drop out but...

- Anuj!

Do you understand what this equipment

and this setup is all about?

No sir. All this

equipment is outdated.

You are still using

NCC 3423 models while...

...the S-series has been

launched three months back.

I need some time.

Can you handle it?

Hey babe! Yeah, I am running

a little late honey!

Will catch you in half an hour!

Okay. Love you. See you.

Women! Sorry, what were you saying?

Can you handle the job?

Definitely. I am a

drop out by choice.

Hello.

- Okay sir.

Yes sir.

Get in touch with Chouhan.

Send this sketch to...

...every police station and

every agency by fax or email.

Next check our records.

And then get in touch with...

...the Interpol and the FBI.

I want any information on this man.

Yes sir. - Babu, wait

here for the verification.

Sir.

- What is the status?

We are on schedule.

Any problem?

- Not at all, sir.

Call me up when you reach there.

- Yes sir.

What is your name?

- I don't need to tell you.

You are right.

My friend!

- What?

What do you think

is happening to us?

Ibrahim bhai, looking

at their scared faces...

...I feel we are going to get freed.

And I also think...

Fire! It reminds me of my youth.

I was also like you. Too stubborn

to be afraid of death.

I was six years old when my father

got into an enmity with a few men.

These men kidnapped

me from the school.

They asked for a ransom

in exchange of my life.

My father paid the ransom.

But they were still greedy.

They beat me up. I was almost dead.

When they got tired they tied a

rope to my leg and hung me on a tree.

I called out to them.

One of them looked back.

I screamed that if you have to then

at least hang me to a mango tree.

He started to laugh.

He got me down...

...patted me on my

head and sent me home.

I lived.

Four years later I killed them

by hanging them to the same tree.

Can we kill this guy right here?

Yes!

We are on our way.

- Where are you?

At the railway station and

about to the catch the train.

I don't know why but there is

too much checking at the stations.

It's just a drill. How is Kajal?

Kajal is asleep. Where are you?

- I am outdoors.

We will reach home before you.

Okay.

- I will hang up now.

Anu...

- I love you too.

I will call you when I get home.

Okay? Bye.

Bye.

Come on!

Come on!

Arif...

- Yes sir.

Sir, we are there.

Stay put. I will call back.

Stand properly.

Hello.

- Mr. Rathod.

Did they reach there?

Yes.

I would like to speak to them.

What is the name of your officer?

- Arif Khan.

What happened?

- Nothing.

Hello. - Arif, put the

phone off loudspeaker mode...

...someone wants to speak to you.

- Yes sir.

Arif is on the line. Speak to him.

Arif, I want to speak to my friends.

They are listening. Speak up.

Greetings Mr. Khan.

- Greetings to you.

Are you safe?

- Yes I am.

I have been ordered to find out

you guys are real and not imposters.

And to find if the police has not

hatched a conspiracy to fool us.

That's why you will tell me...

...your name and your

initials one by one.
