Crime Branch?

"Hi Ashraf.

- Dev, I thought you quit this place"

So what's up?

- Going fine

Did you read the magazine?

- I'm famous

That girl Piya...

she made an ass out of me

"You will have to come with me, Dev"

Sure. Where to?

Back to Delhi

I haven't finished my task as yet.

You can go ahead

"It's all over, buddy.

Pack up and come on"

"I'm not in danger, buddy.

I'm fine. You go ahead"

"You are not,

but we are in danger"

We...?

- Yes... our government

Danger from me?

You're kidding

Assistant Commissioner of Police

I had suspicions

But I trusted you as a friend.

- Look...

"come with me to Delhi,

contact your embassy..."

How serious is this case?

- The Home Ministry has ordered...

on the basis of Intelligence reports

"I'm also a policeman like you.

Trust me, Ashraf"

"Ashraf, let me free for twenty days"

I'll return to you with evidence.

- I'll look for evidence

How many times have you

sold yourself off for money?

"For once, sell yourself off

for friendship"

Stay tied up.

I'll be back after I make a call

"Hey guide! Here, take your fees"

Anything else?

- Yes. Something sweet

Hurry up

"Move it! Hurry up, I say!

- He's a cop"

"He's not a cop, I say. Move it!"

Don't shoot him!

Shoot him!

How did the cop come here?

- How'd I know?

How do you know he's a cop?

- I've seen him long back in Delhi

"We were told that this place is safe.

Hey girl, why did he follow you?"

Speak! Does he know you?

- How'd he know me?

He must've seen this guy

"This place isn't safe

like it used to be, I guess"

Magic...?

The cop you shot...

do you know him?

Saw him in Delhi some years back.

- Delhi?

Call up Teli and ask if

there's something wrong in the city

You guys will be

staying there... at the back

Can we have something?

- What?

Mutton

Women

"If you ask again,

you will have no need to ask again"

And you will shy away from women

Is this how you treat your guests?

- Guests? Those who barge in...

"aren't guests, but trouble"

I spoke to Teli

"He says, the cop survived"

"Go on, take some rest.

If you are hungry, call"

Deposit your weapons there.

- We can't let go our weapons

Why?

Why?

This place is not impregnable.

- Not what?

It's not impregnable.

- Impregnable? What's that?

It's not safe

Then go back home

This is not Afghanistan.

This is my territory

You will depend on me

Sid...

take some men with you

and knock that cop out

These Afghans are dead scared

"Grandpa, greetings.

How are you?"

"I hope you are fine, son?"

I'm fine... but you

don't sound all right

"If you are fine,

I'll deal with these guys"

"Deal with whom?

What's going on, grandpa?"

They say they are policemen

from your department

They say we are Pakistani spies.

- What...?

Let me talk to them.

- They are listening. It's no use

One minute.

Just let me talk to them

"Don't talk to them, Dev.

- Let me explain to them, grandpa"

"Listen, son..."

your work could be

putting someone to risk

That's why they are trying

to disgrace us

"Carry on with your work,

and son..."

Grandpa?

"Grandpa, don't weep"

It won't do me any good

"Trust me, I'll set

everything right, grandpa"

"Victory will be ours, grandpa"

I hope you are having

the bitter-apples?

Sidhu...?

"You're Sidhu, aren't you?"

Look...

I don't know you

I don't know you.

And forget that you ever saw me

"Sidhu, listen to me..."

"Ashraf, go away. I'll go back and tell

my boss that the cop has run away"

Tell whom? Who is your boss?

- Get out of here

"Sidhu, listen to me!

- Try to understand!"

Rathod?

- You are wrong

"It's true, isn't it?

- I..."

I'll shoot you

I'll shoot you

Forget it!

- Where have you been for five years?

"Sidhu, listen..."

"I looked for you everywhere, buddy"

And today...

we couldn't even embrace

We were in the same team

You...

Randhir Singh Rathod...

Randhir Singh Rathod!

"Something important?

- No, sir..."

Just like that.

- Then come to the canteen

The three of you

They goofed up.

They dumped the arms elsewhere

For refuelling they stopped

at Calcutta airport

The Crime Branch already

had information

So they quit the plane and ran off

Those Afghans are in Delhi right now

Which area in Delhi?

"Sir, I'd like to be included

in this case"

"Really?

- Sit down, Ashraf"

I want... to be with you

"Actually, there's no need"

"There will be a need, sir"

"They are fatigued, and I haven't

gone hunting for days now"

"There's no need, Ashraf.

- I've read the case, sir"

"They are four or five, they must have

contacts too, and I think..."

We'll work together

on some other case

"Why not on this one, sir?

- Not on this one"

Why not?

- I don't have an answer

Because I'm a Muslim

And I can't be trusted

You are a new recruit

and this case is quite delicate...

"This Muslim's case is

a delicate one too, sir"

"Why do you want to

get martyred, Mr Ashraf?"

"To win trust, sir"

"For which, in this country

some Muslims have to get martyred"

How about eating?

The samosas will get cold

"What's the plan, sir?"

Here's the order

"The Ministry wants the names

of the people in your team, sir"

"After the job is over.

- It's an official formality, you know"

Write

"I, Randhir Singh Rathod..."

"King Shivaji,

Sardar Vallabhai Patel..."

the godman Dayanand Saraswati...

Well sir...?

- Do send the list

"Sir, it's a direct order

from the Home Ministry"

Shut up! I don't work

for any Ministry

We work for the country. Get that?

Go and complete the formality

"What now, sir?"

"How about some kebabs before we start?

- You asked too late, sir"

I shouldn't have had my breakfast.

- So you won't eat now?

"Well, order for me too"

How is it?

- Delicious

No chutney?

- That's why it is so cost-effective

"24/1, Lajpat Nagar"

"You stay in the jeep. Can you drive?

- Let me come with you, sir"

First rule. Obey the orders

without questioning

"I'm part of your team, sir..."

There's still time.

- I won't give a chance to complain

Keep the engine running. I don't want

the engine cold if we have to chase

"Will that be done? Okay?

- I'll try, sir"

Who is it?

"Your cable guy. Rent, please"

"24/1, Lajpat Nagar.

Is it the right address?"

Right

235 bucks

Two hundred and...?

- Two hundred and thirty five

"We're coming up

with a new scheme, sir"

"600 bucks for three months,

65 channels"

"No, thanks"

Also blue films every night

"No, no.

- English, Hindi, Malayalam"

"Malayalam, too.

- No!"

"Sir...?

- No, I'm fine. Look for evidence"

"If anyone is breathing,

call for ambulance"

"Are you all right, sir?

- First-class"

Call for the ambulance

Go and check

Chopra...?

Who shot you?

Someone shot them.

Where's he?

"Who, sir?"

I told you to sit in the jeep.

What are you doing here?

Where is Yashpal?

"Sir, my wife...

- Nothing will happen to you, son"

Do you hear me?

Which way did he go?

"My wife, sir..."

"Where the hell were you?

- Sir, I..."

Open the door!
