Think it over, Simran!

I can't do it, Akash!

Think again, Simran

On one hand are the lives

of the three of us...

on the other is Daya

You're the one who has to decide

Hello...

- Simran!

The police are after us! Get

out of there immediately!

Meet me at the Seoul station at 10

Daya...?

Simran!

C'mon!

Haul him over!

Tantra.

- Is Akash there?

Akash is not here. Who's this?

- This is Simran here...

I've been looking for him... - Simran,

Akash waited all night for you

Mr. Raghavan and his men were here

this morning; he has left with them

You'll probably find him at

the Indian embassy, my child

Hello... is everything okay?

I've committed the crime of falling

in love with a gangster

I've committed the crime

of living with him

Daya

Well? The mere mention of his name

makes you break into a cold sweat?

I've spent 5 whole years with him

I don't care if I'm caught, Akash

But I know, if I'm caught...

perhaps he will be caught too

It's not today, I've always

tried to protect Daya

Even on the day he got

straight to my house...

Ladies and gentlemen,

there's a saying...

"everything is fair

in love and war"

And this is also a war

For my country. A war against

organised crime

If you have any questions,

you can ask them right now

Mr. Akash, when did you

begin this battle?

In Spring, to catch a cobra, you

got get hold of his female first

That's the mating season they

cannot do without each other

And the cobra is forced

to slither out of its pit

I did something similar

To ferret Daya out of his pit...

I used this beautiful female cobra

She was Daya's weakness

and I became her weakness

Daya was crazy about her and I

drove her crazy about myself

Her dream was to have a small

family of her own...

and my dream was to finish

international organised crime

I put the two dreams together and

the results are there for you to see

How dare you!

How dare you do such a thing?

How dare you...?

How dare you!

Have you never loved me?

Not even for a moment?

Not when you were consoling me,

...getting out bits of

information from me...

in my arms, in bed... wasn't there

a moment when you really loved me?

Never?

No, never

I was only doing my job, my duty

In any case, how would a

police officer like me...

ever fall in love with a cheap

and filthy girl like you?

A girl who has warmed the

bed of a criminal like Daya

It's part of our job to thrust

our hands in filth now and then

But yes, the times when I looked

deep into your eyes...

talked sweetly with you, in

your arms, in your bed...

every moment that I spent with

you, I hated you so much!

Akash...

- Shut up!

I wasn't getting close to you; I

was making a sacrifice for my nation

I was saving those several men who

could've been Daya's victims

I was trying to prevent innocent

children from being orphaned...

by gangsters like Daya!

- Gangster?

He's not a gangster! You guys are!

- Get away!

You cheat despite being in uniforms!

And he never betrayed anyone!

Not in the name of justice,

not in the name of hatred!

If he's caught today, it's only

because of his integrity!

He's not the criminal! You guys are!

In trying to save families,

you've ruined my home today!

In the name of innocent children,

you've killed the baby...

that I'm carrying in my womb!

How could you forget that

this is your baby...?

Akash! How could you forget

that I'm carrying your baby?

You will have to pay for this!

Let's go

Kill me

Please kill me

Kill me...

"You're not to blame for

what you've done, Simran"

"You haven't betrayed me. In fact,

...you are the one who

has been betrayed"

"As for me..."

"I had to face death for shedding

the blood of so many people"

"What could be better for me..."

"that God has made you the

reason of my death?"

"I understand today..."

"why I got to your place of all

the places in that locality"

"I understand today what role

you had to play in my life"

"I've always been a bad man"

"But thanks to you, I'm

dying a gentleman"

"God gave me just one death..."

"but I've lived several lifetimes

in the days I have spent with you"

"One last thing"

"I'm sending your passport

with Usman"

"lt'll take you safely

to my village"

"Don't refuse, Simi"

"If you get there, I'll feel

I've gotten back there"

Daya in police custody

After a long and grim battle...

the law has finally caught up

with gangster Daya Shankar...

who had escaped from India

The credit for the success

goes to Akash

He's the toast of the officers in

the echelons of the police force

Daya created a sensation

in the court today

He prayed to the court

for a death sentence

All charges against Daya Shankar

have been proved in this court

Moreover, the accused has also

confessed to his crimes

This court therefore holds

the accused guilty...

and sentences him to death

He may be hanged till death

on the morning of May 2

To be hanged till death

Nobody knows...

what life I lead...

my life

My story... incomplete

Nobody knows...

nobody has a clue...

what my story is

Daya... forgive me.

Please forgive me

My incomplete story

My incomplete story

Give me your word, Usman...

if I'm caught, you will kill

me at sunset tomorrow

Promise me

Promise me... give

me your word, Usman

Who is it, Sharda?

Stop me not...

let me go to my lover's house

I'm a firefly...

let me die for my flame

Do not stop me

To have him...

is the only aim of my life

Should I have him...

let me go forth and embrace death

Should I have him...

let me go forth and embrace death

Do not stop me.
