of getting out of here.

Through the waters, that is.

You can escape through the sea.

- The sea?

- Yes.

ln eleven years, l have found

a weakness in this jail.

What is the weakness?

All the refuse and dirty water of

the jail flows into the sea...

...through a drainage system.

But where is this drain?

ln the dark-cells, the oldest

portion of this prison.

lt's pitch dark in there.

When they want to give

someone severe punishment...

...they send the prisoner

to that cell for some days.

lf you somehow manage

to reach that cell...

...there is hope for you.

Exactly two feet under the commode

in the toilet is the drain...

...which leads to the sea.

How far will l be able

to swim in the sea?

Let me explain, son.

lf you can arrange for a boat,

you can escape this prison.

Listen, No. 22!

There's a girl here to see you.

Sheetal? You?

- How are you?

- l'm fine. But how's mom?

She still hasn't gotten

over the shock, they say.

l had great difficulty in getting

permission to meet you.

l might not come again, and l

was compelled to call on you.

- Will you do me a favor?

- l can do anything for you.

- This could be dangerous.

- l don't care.

You must arrange for a boat to

arrive at the creek next Wednesday.

- Are you planning to...

- You're right.

l can prove my innocence

only after escaping!

But you must be careful.

lf there's an enquiry,

you must not get involved.

Don't worry.

There are people in the city

who would do anything for money.

l will set it up.

lf just talking isn't enough...

...do you want me to lay

a bed in here?

Go away, Sheetal.

Look after yourself.

That's not a bad idea...

but it's only an idea.

Lower your gaze!

Or you get the stick!

Get up, punks... and get lost!

Get cracking, buddy.

What's wrong with him?

Let's take a look.

You are parasites! You feed on

the government and the public.

You live on left-overs!

- Here's your food...

- He's getting smart...!

What's going on over here?

Stop it, l say!

Stop it, or you get the stick!

You've made a big mistake

by hitting me!

- l'm going to kill you!

- lt's not his mistake, sir!

He's not at fault, sir!

They've made life

miserable for him, sir!

They're driven him crazy!

He's not to blame, sir!

Out of my way, old man!

You've been given 1 4 years

in prison, haven't you?

Each day will be like

1 4 years for you!

Take them away and throw them

in the dark cell!

Get in!

He's thinking of

serying us grilled!

l can spare you guys

on one condition.

- We agree to every condition!

- You must do as l say.

- Sure, we will! Tell him, Shiva!

- All right.

Take this piece of iron.

Follow me.

lf you want to escape...

...you must dig a 2-feet pit

under the commode in four days.

This is the only way

we can escape.

ls that the truth?

l've even arranged for

a boat on Wednesday.

l must say! You're more

crooked than we are!

He has even bumped off his old man...

l'm only kidding.

- Start digging immediately.

- Get cracking, buddy.

Damn it! lt's already 2 feet!

But there's no way of escape!

There's no god-forsaken

gutter in here!

You've gone crazy, feller!

You're simply nuts!

And we've been digging away!

lt's four days since they were

locked away in the dark cell, sir.

Hunger and thirst must have dried

up their intestines by now!

We won't get to know,

even if they die.

Let's go and take a look.

Look at that!

We've found the tunnel!

This is the main gutter!

l can even hear water flowing!

Let's scram! Hurry up!

Someone's coming this way.

So, smart-ass?! Are you

rid of your arrogance?

You've invited trouble

by provoking me!

Spend another 3 days here and

you will come to your senses!

The bastards!

They dare mess with me!

No, jailer! l will use

the stick today!

Once l'm through, you will never

be able to wield the stick again!

There's something fishy in there.

Let's check it out!

No!

Sahil has escaped from prison!

You... ought to be

happy now, dear.

l'm delighted, father!

l'm thrilled!

What has your police force

been doing, Patwardhan?

Why hasn't the convict

been nabbed?

l'm being hounded by

calls from the Capital!

l'm the only one they

seem to find!

The police have fanned out

in all directions, sir.

Now look... this is not something

you can hush up, okay?

l want results!

And quick results at that!

lf my position is threatened

because of your incompetence...

...l swear by Shiva! l will have

you transferred to Kashmir!

Go away.

Listen... how did

the convicts escape?

He went out through

the commode, sir.

This is no ordinary case, sir.

The minister wants quick results.

There is only one officer who can

help you in such a sticky situation.

Who are you talking about?

Who will the disciple talk

about, except his Guru?

No! Not Udham Singh!

There you are! He's talking

about a savage, sir!

He's always looking

for a blood-bath!

He's a law unto himself;

does anything that fancies him.

He defies his seniors! The

boss does not like him either!

He has suspended him on 3 occasions!

Ask him!

- l suspended him only 3 months ago.

- There you are!

He's eccentric and arrogant, all

right. But he's good at his work!

He's a Class One Officer!

There he is, sir.

- Hello, sir!

- Who's that?

lt's me! Your fan! One who has

always admired your guts.

- l'm your...

- A sycophant!

Sit down.

Look who's here to meet you.

l see! The boss, eh?

Welcome, sir. Sit down.

- What will you have?

- You know l don't drink.

Let it arrive, sir.

l'll have it.

He wants to discuss something

very important with you.

Why not? He remembers me whenever

he's in hot-waters.

lsn't that true? Charity begins...

when the end is near!

lt's two day since you've escaped.

The cops must have cooled off.

You guys can leave.

There you are, sir! Didn't l say

he would surely turn up?

Welcome to the department.

Give that to me.

l want to ask you something before

l resume my duties, sir.

Whose law do l follow? My own?

Or that of the department?

l want immediate results!

Which means, l will not be asked

why l fired at their chests.

They always aim at our heads...

...and we are ordered to

fire at their legs!

Does the Government take us cops

to be sacrificial lambs?

That they feed us and

throw us around to die?

Such laws are of

no use, sir.

Your speech always sends

my adrenalin soaring, sir!

And l break into

a cold sweat!

You will have to stay

within limits, Udham Singh.

l take on the spot

decisions, sir.

l decide the fate of the people

l find on the spot, sir.

Do anything you wish.

But l want results.

Study this file.

- l don't need it, sir.

- Why not?

lt's a case of jail-break in which

three convicts have escaped prison.

They are Sahil Sinha, Ganpat

Wagle and Shiva Murlidharan.

The first mentioned has

killed the Governor.

The other two were serying

sentences for petty crimes.

lt's exactly 27 hours, 22 minutes

and 15 seconds since they escaped.
