"Soorti has a brother living

in Hyderabad, doesn't he?"

Cousin? AIso someone in Nagpur?

Why are you shoving?

- I know

You're the one who shot at him.

I also know why he didn't identify you

"Had I done anything, why wouldn't they

identify me? You talk such rot"

Because they would have to answer

too many questions. I know...

there must be so many problems

"UntiI you tell me what's happening,

I'm not letting you walk"

This is too much!

The police can't hold

anyone without evidence

And I know that.

- Who told you...

that the police always stays

within the confines of the law?.

I could never take the pain.

But maybe you're used?

To tell you the truth...

at times even I'm scared of the

men under me

"But what to do? We got to do it,

for the job, they and I too"

You'll know. You got ajob

in the gang too

You think you'll lose yourjob

if you tell us anything?

You're out of ajob

in any case

"You see, you won't be able to endure

the pain and keep mum all night"

"But still, even if you manage,

I'll pump a bullet into your head"

"By tomorrow morning, after what

they have done to you..."

"I can't let you walk out

and sue them, can I?"

I think you should just tell me

who's behind all this

He went to collect

protection money

What happened?

I never said this before

Whatever you did for Malik

that day at the movie shoot...

Anyone else in my place

would've done that

"When I'm talking, you listen.

- What's the discussion?"

"Malik, had Chandu not been around..."

"Don't get emotional.

- But it's true, isn't it?"

"True, isn't it?"

Isn't it?

Come off it Malikbhai...

He's offering you his hand.

Take it

From Hyderabad. Soorti is gone.

- And his brother?

Should be dead by four thirty.

- End of the story

That's what they thought

when they attacked us at the studio

"In our business, nothing ever gets over.

- Only lives get over"

Anyone who takes his eye

off the game is gone

"Malik, stop talking about business.

- Chandu, have you told Malik?"

No...

- What's up?

He's getting married.

- Getting married?

You never told me?

- I was about to

But then everything went haywire.

- Get us a champagne

He's progressing in life only

because you're patronising him

No one patronises anyone.

Everyone gets what he deserves

Still... the oiI doesn't pour out

all by itself

"No, I'm fine.

- That means I'm not fine?"

Come on Malikbhai

He was so shy talking about you.

You should've seen him

He's so shy.

Doesn't even talk properly

One more...

- There were two earlier

Don't even bother

trying to understand him

More?

- No thanks

When is the wedding?

- 2nd December

GadgiI

Yes?

He's here

Mr GadgiI? Come

Sit

What would you like to have?

"No formalities, what would you like?

Coffee or tea?"

Why have you brought me here?

- You're too busy to pay me a visit

"But we must, for the sakes of big men

like you. Besides, you don't like..."

coming to a police station?

- Just ask me what you want to know

Just because we're policemen doesn't

mean that we're always asking

Sometimes we might have something

to tell you

What are you telling me?

- I'm telling you...

who tipped off Soorti about Malik.

- Who tipped him off?

"You did. If Malik gets to know,

you're dead before the hour is over"

But I've no interest in seeing you dead.

I only want to see Malik in jaiI

I know you were there when

Sharma and Rathod were killed

"Just turn witness for the prosecution,

depose against Malik in court"

Will you do it?

You got any other choices?

Looks like it's going to rain.

- Yes so?

"What do you mean "so"?

- Is that something to be discussed?"

You're really a Satan.

- There's a Satan in everyone

Only some people...

- You've said that before

Are you about to say that

it has begun raining?

"Arrest warrant, sir.

For Malik and Chandrakant"

This must be kept between

the three of us

"Come unto me,

you needn't even ask"

"Give me something

to remember"

Live in my eyes...

lie in my embrace...

linger on my lips...

or live in my heart

What are you doing?

What do you want?

- Where is Chandu

I told you! He isn't at home

Confirmed news.

They have left for Hong Kong

"I know. Nawlekarjust told me.

Chandrakant is abroad, honeymooning"

His mother told me

But one thing I don't understand.

None but the three of us...

ever knew of the raid. How come

they knew?. That was the question...

on my mind when I asked for a listing

from the telephone department. Guess

Which number called Chandu's residence

just before the raid?

"Internal injuries don't show up,

but they hurt like hell"

"So we flopped on the arrest. But at

least, we've driven them out of India"

But Sreenivasan was wrong

For years Malik had been

preparing for this day

"David, his man Friday had created

a new haven for him, far from Mumbai"

"Yes, it stinks.

But it's business"

Hong Kong became the gang's

new residence

"Malikbhai, GadgiI is dead"

"After setting up home,

the gang got back to business"

The telephone became the biggest weapon

in the undetworld

Malik realised that the fear of death

was more potent than death

He pissed when he saw.

He started mock attacks

Terror struck

Businessmen started huge ransoms

for fear of their lives

If the need arose...

Malik managed to get away

even with real kills

Want to get shot?

I'm not scared of your threats

"Unknown faces, boys..."

shot the quarry and disappeared

They went back

to their small towns...

from where they were recruited

for pittances

The gang was never short of friends

"In police, in customs, in government,

in the press, everywhere"

"But Malik wasn't stopping here.

Construction, stockmarket..."

the gang wanted a legal share

in every moneyspinner

"Trust me, let me see what I can do"

Buy or grab

As the buying and grabbing went on...

distinctions between the legal

and the illegal were blurred

"In their penchant for the melodrama,

the press dubbed the gang "Company"

Sreenivasan was doing all he could

to smash the gang's new avatar...

apprehending men...

arms caches...

stemmed the fund flows...

even targeted the legal businesses

"But he knew, he was treating

a sick man, not a malaise"

And the epidemic spread.

Malik concentrated on alliances...

"with gangs overseas,

to promote his Company"

Mumbai was left to Chandu

Why do you want to talk to Chandu?

I'm telling you

"Okay, I'll get Chandu bhai

to talk to you"

What happened?

After so many years in the business

what are we doing?

Now Ali insists on talking to

Chandu bhai

What are we here for? Sweeping floors?

- Don't make mountains out of molehills

"Molehills? Mumbai is all agog

about "Chandu bhai"

Malikbhai is all but forgotten

Yadav can't overcome his jealousy.

His problem about Chandu...

is the same problem Saeed and Sharma

had with me

I can understand. But I'm apprehensive

about leaving all the controls...

in the hands of one man.

We should not be repeating...

the mistake Aslam bhai made
