completing the formalities

I get what you told me

"You went there for legal

consultation, right?"

"May I have this beer in peace?

- Have more, darling boy"

Go ahead

What is it?

Sidharth called me to

the Lark Club today

What for?

- Because they believe...

what Priyanka has told them.

They are convinced...

that Rohit's death

is a case of murder

That he was taken there

after he was killed

So?

- I've called you here to tell you...

to please give Rohit's sister

half the property. Please!

"Or else, she and her lawyer

will land us in a soup"

What sort of a man are you?

You're scared of such a little thing?

They have no evidence against us.

Why don't you trust me?

How can I?

You hid the truth from me...

that you used to be Rohit Khanna's

former wife's nurse

So you've met Priyanka?

May I know how and when you met her?

- I met her at the club last night

"I see. The moment I turn my back,

you start wooing her?"

Why're you twisting the issue?

"Try to understand

what I'm saying, Sonia"

"What do we want, after all? We want

to be with each other, isn't it?"

Listen to me. Give her half the share

and end this issue once and for all!

Never!

That is never happening

I'd rather die than

give anyone a penny

"Whoever wants it,

can fight me and take it"

Trapped!

"You're trapped now, my boy!"

It's Swami from Chennai.

- Coming

"Call the grandmaster,

if you will!"

Give Vishal some cold yogurt-shake

"Go on, Swami"

The manager at Regency?

Is the information correct?

- What happened?

Mind your own business. Please!

All right

"What happened, Sidharth?"

What are you doing here?

- I've been waiting for you

Well? You're late today

"Strange, you jog for good health

and screw it up by smoking"

The more I think about

Rohit Khanna's murder...

the happier I am that

the bastard is dead

It takes a burden off the earth

"To me, it makes no difference who

killed him or who gets all his money"

But Sidharth isn't like that

"His life is all about the law,

principles and ideals"

He won't wash his shirt until he

gets to know how it got a stain

And Sidharth is very upset right now.

He's in a dilemma

Why?

- Because he's a friend of yours

He loves you very much.

Maybe more than even I do

Which is why he finds himself

torn between friendship and duty

What are you getting at?

- You told Sidharth...

that you were at Chennai's Hotel

Regency on the 17th of May

But the guys at the hotel

have told him that...

you were not in the room all night.

- They're talking rubbish!

I was very much there in Room 203

of Chennai's Hotel Regency!

"Please, I've told you

it makes no difference to me"

But the operator told the police

that there were four calls...

that you did not take that night.

- If I didn't take the call...

it doesn't necessarily mean

I wasn't in the room

"You know what six drinks do...

- There's more to it, Kabir"

"They've issued an arrest warrant

for your friend, Frankie"

Someone wants to send the cops

Rohit Khanna's glasses...

which were not on the dead body

Who wants to give it and why...

and what the police will discover

after Frankie's arrest...

only time will tell

"To talk to you guys henceforth,

I'll have to have my lawyer present!"

Can't you understand

what your friends tell you?

"Your lawyer is here,

right before you"

"We are your friends, Kabir"

"It's me, Sonia.

- What is the matter?"

Leave the house. Wait for me

behind the old light-house

Leave town? What for?

What happened?

"Nothing as yet, but it

sure is going to happen!"

We have very little time

Tell me something

I can't tell you everything

over the phone

Leave the house immediately!

Please! I'll wait for you

I'm coming over

"He's supposed to be

my husband's manager"

"You don't know her.

She'll kill you too"

"Surprised to see me, aren't you?"

"Yes, I've escaped"

I'm the your first victim

who has escaped

Rohit Khanna couldn't escape.

But I have

I'm not the one

who murdered Rohit

You murdered him

With your own hands.

Have you forgotten?

"Yes, I killed him. But you are

the one who made me kill him"

Like you were making your lover

kill me tonight

You plan these murders

in your mind...

then use suckers like me

by offering that body

You kept using me. You are the one

who telephoned the cops

You are the one

who sent those glasses

I was mad. I had gone blind

in my love for you

"Not love, Kabir.

In lust and longing"

"This body doesn't know

what love is, Kabir"

All it knows is hunger.

Lust

"So you have used me only for

the sake of wealth, Sonia?"

Tell me the truth. We spent so

many beautiful moments together...

"didn't you feel any love

for me at all, Sonia?"

The truth is that I was never

in love with you

"Kabir, I have loved no one"

I have loved only myself

"Every man loves himself, Kabir.

- But I..."

I'm still in love with you

"When I was coming here,

I was baying for your blood"

But now...

now I wonder how

I will hurt you

But I'm going to the

police station

I'll confess to my crime.

That I have killed Rohit

That you are innocent

"No, Kabir. You are doing

nothing of the sort!"

Never!

"No, Sonia. I must go to them"

For my freedom

And yours

"You want to kill me,

don't you?"

So kill me

Shoot at my heart

and blow it apart

It beats only for you

End its suffering.

For good

Shoot!

Kill!

Kill me!

"Forgive me, Kabir"

I'm willing to go away

from here with you

You do love me very much.

- Yes

Which is why you couldn't

fire at me again

Isn't it?

"But this body doesn't know

what love is, Sonia"

All it knows is hunger.

Lust and craving

"No, Kabir..."

What good is a body that

does not have any love?

What difference will it make

whether it exists or not?

It makes no difference

Didn't I tell you?

I'd never let you give up

I'm coming over

It's almost dawn. I've got

one last thing to do

Once I've done that...

"I'll never let you lose, Sidharth.

Never"

"What are you looking at, Sidharth?

Arrest me"

"I've committed two murders,

not one"

I always fed the bad dog in me

"For once, I wish to feed

a few morsels to the good dog too"

Lock me up in prison

"Vishal, let's take him

to the hospital"

No

Take me wherever you wish to

After I wish Mr Sun

a good-morning for the last time

This world was my paradise...

this world is my paradise

"I learn this secret, now that

I have lost everything"
