Tabrez Alam's people are

very angry with you.

They're pressurizing

for your transfer.

Gaya Singh!

What you want is impossible.

Let me meet him once.

I'll talk to him.

Okay, I'll try.

Sir, he wants to talk to you.

DSP sir, give me a minute.

- Quick! I don't have time.

Help me, sir. Please

arrange for my bail.

Why?

You help all kinds of people.

Give me a chance too.

I will be very useful to you.

What are you saying?

If sir gets angry then you'll

rust forever in jail.

Once chance! I'll do anything

for this favor.

Come.

- Anything.

Get me released. You'll

not be disappointed.

Come!

I can't come inside.

I'll wait for you here. Do the

identification properly.

How much time will it take?

- That depends on you.

If you like it inside let

me know we'll book you.

Mr. Shukla, you're joking.

Come.

The court magistrate.

Sir, Banka Lal. He has to

do the identification.

Greetings.

Sir none of them was there.

Look at them properly.

What's there to see?

I was blindfolded.

Come on, take them inside.

Sir, may I leave too?

- Okay.

What are you saying!

I won't go back to my

old life of failure.

I've chosen my goal and

I'm going to get it.

Tomorrow we'll be bailed out.

Then you all decide what you'll do.

I will be successful at any cost.

I'll take the bag.

- No, let's go.

Here's my seat.

Megha dear, eat on time.

- Yes.

Do call as soon as you reach

Ranchi. - Yes, father.

Okay, dear.

- Bye.

You are lucky.

3 cases of the sales tax offices

are with me. He agreed.

Thank you, sir. Thanks

to you I'm free today.

So what are your plans now?

Mr. Shukla, just tell me,

which person in town...

...is Tabrez desperate to kidnap?

The accounts will reach by evening.

- Alright.

Spotted 13 guards outside

and 8 inside.

Seems like military security.

We'll need a whole army

to penetrate this place.

There is vigilance at

the main gate too.

Arrange for a car.

What calculation is this!

Our tender is right on top.

Hello. - Sir, the chartered

accountant on line.

Yes, put him on line.

Vibhuti Bhushan here. Just received

a call from income tax office.

They're coming for a raid.

- What?

There was a raid just 6 months ago.

It's a new director.

A greedy rascal.

Tell the security to welcome

them properly.

Look after him.

All set? Go and manage.

- Okay, sir.

Good morning, sir. Please, come.

Mr. Subhramanyam, you stay at

the gate. Nobody in or out.

Yes, sir. No entry, no exit.

Start checking the office.

- Yes, sir.

Are there dacoits here?

- No, sir. No, dacoits.

Such tight security? Problem?

- No problem, sir.

Security, wait outside.

Interrogate the security, quick.

Show them the photo in the file

and get a complete record.

Who comes when and goes when.

Why have you kept such huge

guards, Mr. Sooraj?

I'm Devanand.

I know, sir. Please come. This

security is not for you.

Then get them out.

- Go.

Have to start investigation.

Time is money.

That's what I'm saying,

sir. Why waste time?

Take this money and save time.

- Offering bribe? How much?

Boss, locked up all guards.

Thank you.

Time is money. Come.

You've no clue who you're

messing with.

I've already taken

the risk. Now come.

Where are you taking me?

How much do you want?

I'll pay you here.

- Come along now.

Make the demand draft later.

- What are you doing?

Move!

- Where are you taking me?

Open it! Put it in

the car! Hurry up!

Keep quiet! Come on! Move!

What are you doing?

Come on. Sit.

What? Soorajmal has been kidnapped?

Tabrez-bhai's call.

Tabrez-bhai's on the line.

Bhai, Tabrez-bhai.

Yes.

What's wrong? In the

bathroom too long?

Greetings.

- Bhai...

Amazing! Your clothes are stripped

off right under the nose...

...and you didn't even realize.

My people are looking all over.

He can't escape. No

matter who he is.

You'd taken the challenge to

kidnap Soorajmal, Gaya Singh.

And I had faith in you.

I won't let you down, Tabrez-bhai.

Just give me 24 hours.

Why can't you get Shukla on line?

It's ringing. He isn't picking up...

Try again, rascal! Can't show

my back to Tabrez-bhai!

I won't spare that dog!

Quickly! Hurry up!

Sir. Excuse me, sir. Sir.

Sir, one minute.

Any news of the kidnappers?

Any demand for ransom?

Which gang is suspected?

We're investigating. We'll

soon come to a conclusion.

Sir, what about the ransom amount?

Within a month another

sensational kidnapping.

At 3 in the afternoon

in broad daylight.

The owner of Sooraj Group of

Companies, Mr. Soorajmal...

...was kidnapped by unidentified

people.

We have with us Soorajmal's younger

brother, Mr. Chandmal.

Mr. Chandmal, there were rumors...

...because of your brother's

political aspirations...

...there was rising tension between

him and MLA Tabrez Alam.

It is difficult for me to

say anything right now.

My brother's life is at risk.

Any phone call demanding ransom?

A few days ago someone named

Gaya Singh had threatened us.

Shut up, rascal! Gaya Singh

will make hollow threats?

Mr. Gaya Singh.

- Where had you vanished, Shukla-ji?

I'm tired of trying your number.

I was busy with your

work, Gaya Singh.

Your prey is in my custody already.

I'm just coming. Hold on to him.

Never harbored as strong a desire

to kill a person as now, Shukla-ji.

Who is he? - Go see for yourself.

And there is no need for this.

I've taken so much from you.

This time it's for free.

You? Despite having licked my

spilt you haven't improved.

This will cost you dearly.

Spare my life. I'd

underestimated you.

I'll give you whatever you want.

I'll give you as much money as

you want. I swear on my kids.

Forgive me, bhai.

Look, I'll lick your spit if

you say. I swear. Forgive me.

Lick! Lick!

Lick! Lick!

Everything is finished.

Usman, see that his kids

have no problems.

Get the last rites done properly.

- Yes, bhai.

Usman.

- Yes.

Which kid had Gaya beaten up

in the jail? - Who, bhai?

The one Khan had called

to identify our men.

He? Yes. His name is Ajay Shastri.

Find him.

- Yes, bhai.

Fast.

Stop! Stop!

Who is it? Come out.

Usman, shoot him!

- Put him in the car and take him.

Tabrez-bhai! Tabrez-bhai!

Please listen to me once.

You may kill me if you

wish after that.

Why? Why should I listen to you?

How dare you think of

challenging Tabrez!

I have certainly dared but

not to challenge you.

Rather I had come to surrender...

unarmed.

Why did you do all this?

I just wanted to meet

you, Tabrez-bhai.

Meet me? Is this the

way to meet anyone?

What do you think of yourself?

You will kill Gaya?

What if I shoot you?

I settled my scores with Gaya.

I killed him after he licked my spit.

But the person who couldn't

kidnap Soorajmal despite...

...having your support then

he is not worthy of you.

And do you consider yourself worthy?

Have a good look at me.

You won't be betrayed.

I can give my life for you.

You can give your life for me...

how much is your life worth?

I don't want men who

give their lives.
