in a cIosed room.

But not this time.

All the rituals are in Karachi.

We aren't allowing

photography... Video..

Nephew wiIl give you the detaiIs.

But my son's wedding..

Try and understand.

- Please excuse me.

Mr. Azhar's waiting for me.

Iqbal, Islamabad's..

- lf we delay any longer..

..they might blow this place up.

- You don't..

Quddoos.

- Salim..

Serve him some cold drinks.

You know he can't attend

the wedding. - But..

We're trying our best,

but uncle's not prepared to listen.

What can we do?

- Quiet!

Tell him to shut up!

Hyderabad.

- Yes, sir.

No, Azhar. My heart's not into it.

I'm not too popular.

PeopIe think l'm a terrorist.

This is just my business,

I only do my job.

Otherwise, l'm human too.

I do charity. l heIp people.

We're here for your help.

When you do something..

..it puIls our people out of danger.

We desperately need

an action in Hyderabad.

How many?

- lt'll be controIled.

8 or 10.

Ruins business, for a long time.

I give you my word.

Not more than 15 people.

Iqbal..

- No matter what you say..

..I won't change my mind.

You don't understand.

Iqbal..

- You don't understand!

My business runs on fear.

If l get scared,

business will close down.

The orders were direct.

Stay away from the

Target until the mission.

Stay low..

But this man could

never follow any orders..

The fourth wheel of the team,

Rudra Pratap Singh.

He was more like a riddle,

without an answer.

Suspended army officer,

killer, mercenary.

No one knew who he was.

Where he came from.

He never listened to anyone

nor told anyone about him.

Like every mission..

..the safest place to hideout was..

..the murky lanes of

Karachi's prostitute area..

Where no one cared who you were..

All that mattered was the

price you were willing to pay.

You walk straight in the dark.

You're either a thief or a soldier.

Either get to work

straightaway or keep chatting.

The less questions you ask,

the better.

May I come in, sir?

Sir. I've got a weird tip

in the Vicky Thakur murder case.

There's a rumour in the department..

..that the killer made

a deaI with the agency.

He's been sent to Karachi.

Is it a part of your dream project?

Which dream project?

The one you shut down.

You didn't shut it down completeIy.

That much l know you.

Mishra. There's a big difference..

..between knowing and understanding.

Yeah.

How are the neighbours, Ghosh?

You never call to

ask about their health.

I'm the cuIturaI attache..

..but, you receive every news first.

I've heard that our

favourite son-in-law..

..is getting his son married.

- l heard that too.

So like a good neighbour..

..we'II have to give our best wishes.

Post an ad in the Dawn, on our behalf.

Seven days, seven sim cards.

Use one everyday, and destroy it.

We'lI need detonators, timers.

Symtex as well.

Any grade will do.

There're dogs in the hotel.

Sniffer dogs.

You've to arrange for an ambulance.

It'll be done. That's easy.

The arms.. - l'll come

aIong for weapons selection.

Karachi's Napier road's different,

your cover will be blown.

You're just an asset.

Yourjob's to give us information.

You've been recruited from GIC.

Before coming here..

..the only thing you ever

shot was a cardboard cut out.

I'm doing my job.

I didn't get suspended from the army,

like you.

You're a part of the team. That's it.

Understand.

I'm not too fond of teams.

They're best for playing footballs.

More the people, more weaknesses.

Then why don't you

execute the operation?

You don't need us.

You'II find him stroIIing

down the market. Go catch him.

Remember one thing.

This is not your country.

"Keep it concealed.

Don't lift the veil."

Salaam.

- Walekum.

I knew you were a good barber.

But, I didn't know

you were good at this too.

No..

- Don't be scared.

A man without secrets is boring.

Everyone does.

I do too.

No.

- Yes.

Khurram. Don't tell anyone.

- No.

Please leave,

you're spoiling my business.

I'll be right back.

Who was he?

I don't have to tell you.

Look. l know everything about you.

The route you take

your child to school.

The shop you buy

perfume for your wife.

He's a customer.

He's ISl.

Lt. Col. Khurram Khan..

Get that?

And?

He's my neighbour.

Don't ever drag my wife

and child in this again?

I Iove them.

That's why l say.

More peopIe, means more weaknesses.

'Rudra was right.'

'More people, means more weaknesses.'

'But, he didn't know.'

'Mistakes are like reIationships.'

'You don't make one, it happens.'

Back again? How?

Can't be love.

- No.

I heard you don't

ask too many questions.

And anyway, no one comes here.

Either get to work

straightaway or keep chatting.

Pardon me, but this is important.

I see.

What do you think?

What's the story behind this?

Good morning, ma'am.

Come in.

This is your room.

It's been newly painted.

Sir, bed no.2 is yours.

- Join it with bed no.3.

You see, I Iike to

toss around in my sIeep.

The target's car

will approach from P1 .

We'lI enter from P3.

We'lI intercept him on P3.

And the exit.

P1 for you, and I'll exit this way.

We'lI blow this room with RDX semtex.

The purer, the better.

The entire floor..

- Perfumed?

I'll need big pots..

..to take the semtex in the hotel.

51 ...Stout Street.

Gareen Rd..

- No, Mom. lt's Green.

Green.

- Yes, Green.

Ph..

You'II be with me,

so you can tell them. lt'lI be okay.

Sending us to London alone..

Perfumed ones?

- Yes.

Look, Rameez. Perfumed penciIs.

Father brought them for me.

Why don't you read this

out in EngIish for me..

What road? What 'Bury'?

Do you have such beautiful

girls back there?

Where?

The pIace you hail from.

"Your beautiful kohl eyes."

That's "Black".

"Wait a moment more..."

"Your lips stiII have

my essence on them."

"Wait a moment more..."

"The dewdrops are shining

with the morning rays."

"But my world of

dreams is still aIive."

"Wait a moment more..."

"Your lips stiII have

my essence on them."

"Wait a moment more..."

There goes the power again.

Shut up. Who needs electricity here!

Ali. Start the generator.

I won't ask.

Because I can't hear you Iie.

Really?

You sIeep with peopIe,

and I put them to sleep.

The lesser you know, the better.

The more you know,

the more difficult it'Il get for me..

..and painful for you.

It won't.

Anyway, I'm used to men leaving me.

There's a difference

between them and me.

I know that.

You never showed

sympathy or faIse hopes.

I never expected the impossible.

But, you gave me

something l didn't expect.

What do you want?

The man who did this.

Do you want his death

to be easy or painfuI?

Semtex?

- On the way, freshly baked.

The buyer's coming

personally to seIl them.

Don't open your big mouth,

like last time.

I will make the deal..

- Welcome, Khurram.

You!

RascaIs..

Take me to the police station.

Police!

Put that away.

Don't just wield that thing,

know how to use it as weII.

There's news, sir.
