Highway Page #4

Synopsis: A city girl - young, full of life - is on the highway at night with her fiancé. Suddenly, her life is swung away from the brocade and jewelry of marriage to the harsh brutality of abduction. Her life will never be the same again. The gang is in a panic; the girl is a big industrialist's daughter, his links in the corridors of power make ransom out of the question. But for the leader of this group sending her back is not an option. As the days pass by, the scenery changes, the girl feels that she has changed as well. Gradually, a strange bond begins to develop between the victim and the oppressor. It is in this captivity that she, for the first time, feels free.

The way you make me feel."

This is the real deal"

Come.

Take your stuff.

Chandigarh bus station?

I'm proud of you. Okay, bye.

Are you leaving?

- Yes. I have to.

Take care of yourself.

We'll meet again.

Let's go.

Look there.

A police station. Go inside

and talk to the man in charge.

Tell him your name

and your father's name.

Say that you're

the kidnapped girl.

You know that I won't go.

Take your phone.

Call your home first.

Can't you hear me?

I won't go.

You won't go? So what

will you do with me?

Marry me?

Raise my kids?

What will you do?

What's come over you?

Why create a scene?

What will you do with me?

Well?

You know who I am.

That's just it.

I know who you really are.

I killed three people.

I have..

With these very hands.

My life is over.

It'll never get fixed.

Never.

I will only die.

You should go back.

Go back to Delhi.

How will I, Mahabir?

Look. I'm telling you to go.

It'll be a disaster. Go away!

What's your story?

How did this happen?

- Shut up!

Go to the police station.

I won't go. What will you do?

What the hell! Let go!

Mahabir, let me go!

Quietly, come along.

Are you that strong?

I won't go.

Don't drive me crazy.

I won't go.

Kill me too!

Stop, Mahabir.

Don't be childish.

Are you crazy?

What's wrong?

Hello!

One minute.

I have to make a call.

Hey!

- Hello..

Get up!

Where do I catch the bus

to Chandigarh?

Reckong Peo bus stand.

- Reckong Peo.

Reckong Peo bus stand?

- Get in.

Shimla..

Get this straight.

Whatever happens, you don't

decide alone. Got it?

Move away. Stand there,

near the bench.

"I was bound to come this way."

"My path is somewhere here."

"I stand at the crossroads."

"The journey opens

its arms to me."

"Where am I?"

"Where am I?"

"Where am I?"

"Sighs, fear,

happiness, paths.."

"Brittle words,

true relations.."

"Among all these"

"where am I?"

A 20 minute stop. Be quick!

There's no plan

of raising kids

or marrying.

There's no plan.

All I want is a little more.

A little longer with you.

I never felt like this before.

The way I feel with you..

I can do anything.

Anything I feel like.

And you'll handle it.

I don't even have to think.

I've never felt like this.

But I'm being very selfish.

You'll be in trouble.

They thought

we were in Calcutta.

Now they'll know

that we're here.

Nothing can save us now, right?

Oh no! All ruined!

What now?

Let's sit on top.

What?

- On the roof.

Coming?

Let's decide the next move..

- You talk too much.

Come on.

"Wrapped in clouds

of white wool"

"I am like the winter breeze."

"Not caring what's left behind."

"Not seeing what lies ahead."

"I ask myself.."

"Where am I?"

"Where am I?"

"Where am I, now?"

"Where am I?"

"Where am I, now?"

"Finding myself

amidst lost desires.."

"Firm desires, shaky pursuits."

"In all of this"

"where"

"am I?"

What are you staring at?

You like the mountains

or the sea?

I've never seen the sea.

I like the mountains more, too.

Like that one.

It is calling out to me.

I wish we could go there.

Then come along.

We'll go there!

Got other plans?

Okay. Let's go.

Please! For one second.

Are you done? Give it back.

Enough. Give it here.

It has power, boss.

Hands up!

- I'll give you a tight slap.

It's not a toy. Give it to me.

Tell me something.

One bullet and a man

is finished, right?

Two are finished.

The one who gets shot

and the one who shoots.

It's a bad thing.

Give it to me.

So why don't you throw it away?

Why keep it?

What the hell do you know?

I can see.

We won't fight.

No fighting.

Don't say such things.

Again?

Okay, sorry!

Let's go.

Let's race.

Ready, steady, go!

I wanted a home

on a mountain like this.

Always wanted one.

My home.

My dream.

Pick any mountain you like.

They're all ours.

Really?

Yes, they belong to us.

They'll be here whenever

you come back.

I'm choosing one.

- Sure, go ahead.

I don't know why I'm..

Keep this.

- No..

This is my dream home.

Exactly how I want it.

We're saved so much work.

Okay?

- Okay.

Be comfortable. The owners

won't be back soon.

Hungry? Okay.

- Yes.

Ten minutes.

I'll make something.

Freshen up and just relax.

Leave it. I'll do it.

No. This is my home

Now out!

Who's denying it?

- Out.

Let me clean up.

- Out.

Come on in!

What is it?

- One minute.

No..

- No way.

This can never be mine.

I've come so far away.

20 years.

No, Mahabir.

Everything will be all right.

Mom!

Everything is over.

I was once my mother's

adored son.

Mom..

Mahabir..

Mahabir, where's your gun?

Where's your gun?

I threw it away.

- Veera Tripathi?

Stay away!

Back off!

Get back!

It's all right.

- Veera Tripathi?

What did you shoot?

Rascal! Why shoot?

What was he doing?

Veera, listen.

- Move back.

I'll kill everyone.. - Veera,

he needs to be hospitalized.

Veera, there's no time.

He'll die. He needs

to be hospitalized.

Nothing will happen to him.

We have to take him immediately.

Please! - Mahabir..

Let's go. Mahabir..

Help him. - Stretcher.

Listen to me. I'll take you

to your village.

Okay? Promise!

To your mom.

I said everything will be okay.

Didn't I?

Nothing has gone wrong.

I am telling you.

Nothing has changed.

See for yourself.

Veera.

I know what you're thinking.

But you know nothing.

Okay. Anyway..

The important thing is

that we save Mahabir.

Papa, please. We need

to save Mahabir.

He kidnapped me.

But it's not what it seems.

Quite the opposite. - What..

What's happened, child?

Nothing has happened.

I am fine.

- Veera.

Who is this man?

Who is this man?

I am fine.

- Sit down.

Let go.

- Easy! Gently.

Papa, please!

- Calm down.

What's that for? This injection?

Papa, listen to me. Please.

You don't understand.

Okay. Wait. One second.

Here's what.

There's something

I want to tell you.

Stop.

Quiet.

Why don't you understand?

What have you done?
