The Police are summoned, they arrest Sahil, try him in the Indian courts, convict him, but instead of giving him the death sentence, they put him in jail for life.

- This is half a murder, you know.

All right! That makes it

2 and a half murders!

The police have done

all they could.

lt would be wise now to make our

own arrangements of security.

lf l happen to kill the

boy in self-defense...

- ...will l be guilty of murder?

- No.

Stop laughing! And ask the

Commissioner to give us protection!

l want special security arrangements

around me, through out the day!

Please don't worry.

l'm investigating the case.

l can't figure it out. Who's the

killer, if not Thanawala?

lt was a cleverly executed murder

right inside the house.

He was familiar with the

topography of the house.

Which is why no one saw him.

lt has to be someone we know...

someone close to us.

But who can that be?

Whoever he was, he couldn't have

been a friend of your Dad.

l think it's either a feud or a large

gain that has motivated this murder.

The large gain! You're right!

Since my father was a Governor,

a public figure...

...somebody must surely have

gained from his death!

And l'm a mere student...

...who could frame me for murder

and gain from it?

The real killer! No wonder he put

a reward of 10 million on my head!

So l'd get caught and his

misdeeds would remain a secret!

You're talking about Meghnath

Chaudhary and his brother!

Why have you brought me here?

What have l at the Shipping Yard.

What's all this about, Sheetal?

Why don't you tell me?

What are you hiding, Sheetal?

Why have you brought me here?

- l have a surprise for you, Daddy.

- Really? What is it?

Sahil wants to ask you

some questions, dad.

This is not done, Sheetal.

You shouldn't have done this.

What makes you scared to

see me here, Mr. Chaudhary?

Why have you broken

into a cold sweat?

No, l'm not scared, Sahil.

This area belongs to me.

lf l wish, l could see that

you don't leave alive.

That's my first question. Why do

you want to have me killed?

- What?! Why would l...

- Answer him, dad.

l understand it all!

You wanted the Governor's signature

on some important documents.

- Didn't you?

- Yes. l did.

And you killed the Governor because

you did not get his signatures!

What?! You're crazy! l have

not killed any Governor...

- Admit it! You have killed him!

- But l haven't...

You've gone mad, Sahil!

l swear by my daughter!

l have not killed anyone!

- You're lying...

- Hold it, Sahil!

He hasn't killed him,

if he says he hasn't.

He'd never take a false

oath in my name!

Okay, Sahil! l've cheated people

in business! l've been a fraud!

But l am not a murderer!

Then why have you placed a reward

of 10 million on my head?

- Have l...

- lt was me, not him.

l'm going to keep the money

to myself now, brother.

l've even telephoned

lnspector Udham Singh.

You have called the wrong place.

Because you're going to need

an ambulance, not Udham Singh.

Your face is worth

looking at, lnspector!

lt appears as l've snatched

a bone from a dog's mouth!

l'm feeling sorry for you!

l'd advise you to save some

of your laughter, Miss Sheetal.

This is how you will laugh

when l shoot Sahil.

Because you will be an

absolute lunatic by then.

Come on, inspector!

Stop dreaming!

You can't as much as touch Sahil,

so long as l'm alive!

Watch out... careful, please!

Be gentle!

l remember another couplet

hearing you groan like this.

''He's here in my ward,

thanks to Sahil''

''l gape at his plasters

and my own bandages''

There he is!

The poet in bandages!

My word! He seems to have been

run over by a road-roller!

Shut up!

- That's the second half-murder.

- You're right!

- You can call it three murders!

- Shut up!

- lt's not me. He's laughing!

- Never mind.

May we record his statement

now, Mr. Neelkanth?

My foot! He's in bad shape!

He has a dog's leash!

And a iron-rod in his feet!

ls it really iron?

Why must you endanger

your life for Sahil?

He doesn't love you. So why

must you keep chasing him?

There's no saying when he will

have a change of heart.

And l'm helping him only

because l'm in love with him.

You're making a mistake!

He's using you!

- He loves only lsha!

- That's not true!

Not any longer! He used to

love her earlier. But now...

...he trusts only me!

l'll get him to tell me tonight

that he loves me alone!

What brings you to the police

station so early in the day?

- l've been here all night.

- Have you got a new case now?

l've been trying to figure out

what Sahil Sinha really is.

l've been going through his file.

Why be so interested in his file,

when you're going to gun him down?

This file tells me

who his next target is.

That's the money

l pay you, as usual.

And this is your birthday gift.

A golden wrist-watch.

So you remember my birthday, too!

lt's a nice gift.

A golden-watch!

Just what you like, boss.

l have a gift for you, too.

The locket you had lost...

...in my father's hands when

you murdered him!

This is not my locket.

But today it will belong to me.

Hit him! Clobber him!

Kill him! Give it to him!

No! lf you kill me, you will never

know who killed your father!

l know who did it!

l know the killer!

- Who killed him?

- lt was a political killing!

lt was the Minister

who murdered him!

Let Vilas Rao alone, Sahil!

You're catching the wrong man!

This is police matter.

He's a run away convict!

You think he's a convict!

Not us!

The young man has done what we

couldn't do in all these years!

He has taught a crooked

union leader a lesson!

We will not let you

take him away!

Out of my way...!

Out of my way, l say!

Here's a couplet to celebrate

your arrival, Vilas Rao.

''A great time will be had

when the wounded get together!

- Minister!

- What is it?

Come closer... l've made

a very big mistake.

l had to tell Sahil you're guilty,

to save myself from him.

Damn you!

Forgive me, please.

Another couplet, while

you leave, Minister.

''l shall await you till you

come here, hurt by Sahil''

Here you are, Anna!

This is 2 million Rupees.

Tell you what, mister?

Go to sleep peacefully.

This will be our first

and last meeting.

l will not meet you again.

But l will certainly send you

Sahil Sinha's dead-body.

You must bring the minister

to the show tomorrow.

- Or l'll have to leave the city.

- Leave the city?

Yes, Sheetal. For how many days

can l run away from the law?

Udham Singh has been following him

like his death.

lf the killer is not caught

by tomorrow night...

...both of us will leave the city

and go away somewhere...

...where nobody recognizes us.

But l have a feeling that

l'm close to my goal.

You have always been close

to your destination, Sahil.

l'm your goal!

See you tomorrow, Sahil. l will

bring the minister to the show.

How much will you help me? Won't l

ever get the chance to help you?

Don't worry. You're the one l will

look to, when the need arises.

lt's necessary for the Minister

to come tomorrow, Sheetal.

Have faith in me. Bye...

What's up? Sheetal is much too

kindly disposed towards you.
