- What's the catch?

- There's no catch. lt's simple.

She's not really as simple

as she appears to be.

She's evil, deep within.

You mustn't trust such girls.

- Don't you trust me?

- l do trust you.

But l don't trust woman. Hell hath

no fury like a woman spurned!

Really? What if l cut

myself off from you?

- You'll cut yourself off from me?

- Suppose l do. What will you do?

- l'd devour you!

- How'd you do that?

So you're willing to be

our Chief Guest!

To see the girls dance, l will

cancel all my other programs.

But l have a problem.

Problem? What problem?

There's someone who is

baying for my life!

l take my security guards along,

wherever l go.

We would not like to inconvenience

you in such a situation.

l'll try to find another Chief

Guest for my function.

- Let's go.

- Wait... don't be dejected!

l'll definitely find a way.

For your sake especially, l will

leave my guards outside the hall.

You will be there on time,

won't you?

Certainly! He has arrived!

What the hell is all this?

Where are you taking me?!

Let me go! For God's sake!

What are you doing?

Leave me alone!

Don't try something funny, because

this revolver is loaded today.

You have been lucky so far.

But your bad days begin.

Step out, Miss lsha.

Let us go, lnspector.

Or l'll kill the Minister.

- Go ahead and kill him.

- What are you saying?!

l have just one goal...

and that is Sahil Sinha.

Come out.

Open fire, if you must.

But l will not stop.

Go on.

lnspector! l'll have you suspended!

l won't spare you!

Help me, someone!

What have you done, sir?!

Only a truthful man

can take a bullet.

That young man's courage

reminds me of my youth.

l have suddenly woken up

to the human in me.

l didn't ever see

this side of you, sir.

We were wrong, Neelkanth.

That boy can't be the killer.

What are you doing, son?

Stop playing with fire!

l swear! l have not

killed the Governor!

Don't make me angrier, or

l'll burn your feet!

You're making a mistake, son!

l have not committed the murder!

You're lying!

Vilas Rao has himself named you!

l swear by the holy rivers!

l have not killed anyone!

l kept the insurance documents

at home, since you told me to.

We'll leave, once we have

collected the documents.

Welcome.

You've come at a good time, Diwan.

Greetings, Mrs. Sinha.

We were about to have the tea.

You must join us, too.

- l've good news for you, Mrs. Sinha.

- Really?

- l have news of your daughter.

- Have you found her?

- Please sit down.

- Did you find her?

l thought that Sahil had forcibly

run away with your girl.

The truth is that she has

left with him, on her own.

How can that be?!

lt's true. You hid the truth from

me, although you knew everything.

- What are you trying to say?

- The tea, sir.

l don't know what you've been

planning on the sly.

But the truth is that

you have lied to me.

And a man normally lies under

two kinds of situations.

Either when he is in danger or

when he wants to keep a secret.

How much sugar would you like?

... how much of sugar?

You will be happy to know that

your son is not the murderer.

- What?

- l told you! Sahil wouldn't do that.

He is a victim of circumstances.

He is innocent.

ls Sahil really innocent?

Who is the real killer?

The hunt is on, Mr. Diwan.

We'll find him.

These are the Kashmiri daggers

used in the murders.

These daggers are part of a set.

Daggers like this are normally

sold in sets of sixes and sevens.

l must find out which set

these daggers belong to.

Can you tell me something

about them, Mr. Diwan?

Take a careful look. Go on...

Don't beat around the bush.

Come to the point.

How do l put it?

This is an old habit.

l have all the bad habits.

For instance, l got into your

house, without your permission.

l made tea for myself and

looked around the place.

You have a nice house.

But this particular picture has

landed me in a dilemma.

What can the picture of a

sinking ship in your house mean?

- Are you a pessimist?

- No.

Go and fetch me a packet

of cigarettes, Neelkanth.

You interpret the picture wrongly,

because you haven't looked carefully.

l'm an optimist.

Look closely. The ship is fighting

against the storm...

...and sailing towards the shore.

l don't think so.

Your ship is sinking,

Mr. Diwan!

ln fact, it has already sunk!

Those daggers are

part of this set!

Your husband's killer is standing

before you, Mrs. Sinha!

What?! lshwar?! You?

You killed my husband!

Yes. l've killed him!

- But why?

- l was helpless!

The Governor refused to accept his

daughter as his son's bride.

Years of loyalty had been wasted!

He was not given the status he

sought! So he killed his master!

l was blinded in my love

for my daughter!

But why did you kill Dr Gandhi?

Dr Gandhi was going to

tell Sahil the truth!

l got to his place before

Sahil could and killed him, too!

What had we thought you to be!

And what are you really?!

Beware! Do not try to stop me!

l'm an optimist! l've killed

twice! l can kill again!

Don't compel me to shoot you!

Leave the kid alone!

Drop your gun! Go on!

Let me go!

Believe me, son! l have not

committed the murders!

Speak the truth! Or you will

go straight to hell!

The Minister is speaking

the truth, Sahil.

- Leave him alone.

- Yes. Leave me alone!

- The killer has been found.

- The real killer?!

How did it happen? And when?

You ought to thank lnspector Udham

Singh for finding the real killer.

You don't need to run away now.

You're a free man.

- But who is the real killer?

- lt's not me! l swear!

l have not committed the murder!

Who is it?

lt wouldn't be right to

utter the name here.

We don't need to hide anything

from lsha. Speak up, Sheetal!

The truth will be a

terrible blow for her.

What is it, after all?

Tell me... who is the killer?

lt's her father...

lshwar Diwan.

What are you talking about?!

She's lying! The b*tch!

Hasn't she shown her true colors?

The envious b*tch!

But remember!

Sahil belongs only to me!

Udham Singh has arrested

your father with the proof!

He has even confessed

to his crime!

Go to the police station,

if you can't believe me!

Your father is now

in police custody.

No! This can't be true!

My father could never do this!

He couldn't ever kill someone!

This is a lie! A bloody lie!

lsha! Wait!

Please, Sahil... leave me

alone for the moment.

l love you very much...

...and you belong only to me!

l can't understand why Diwan

would kill my dad.

lsha is looking for the answer

to the question, too.

Which is why she has

gone to meet her father.

Go home, Sahil.

Your mother is worried about you.

Why are you quiet, mother?

Say something.

You ought to be happy. The police

will now set Sahil free.

He will now live with us.

Mother... are you

still angry with me?

l'm angry with myself...

l have misunderstood you.

lt was lshwar who committed the

murder... and l accused you!

Please forgive me, my son!

Forget the past, mother.
