He details how Sultan had survived floods in Madras, shortly after Independence; his arrival in Bombay; and his employment which earned him a mere 25 Paisa daily. Agnel's attempts to rein in Sultan fail, but he keeps tabs on him and his romance with Bollywood actress, Rehana; as well as his new recruit, Shoaib, the son of Sub-Inspector Khan. Agnel will find his investigation slipping out of his hands after Sultan temporarily delegates complete responsibility to Shoaib.

corner of the car.

Leave me. Leave me. - Look.

Look.

Take a look.

Did you find anything?

Is there any gold?

Let's check the luggage

boot now.

I'll show you the entire

car, come on.

Take a look.

Is there anything.

Look.

Sultan.

She's suffering from congenital

heart disease.

Meaning? I didn't understand.

I mean there's a hole

in her heart.

Often infants contract this

disease in the womb.

It is detected at

childhood itself.

So now?

There's no cure to this disease.

A few more years.

I'm sorry, i'm really

very sorry.

Look after her as

much as you can.

You come with me

will you marry me?

You're the heart of mumbai.

And mumbai is very dear to me.

I've learnt much from you.

I always marched forward like

your waves, untainted.

I never heeded or bowed

before anyone.

But the only mistake

i made was...

...that my love was divided.

Now you tell me who

i should listen to.

Are you thinking about

leaving this business?

I can leave everything mumbai

has given me for rihana.

No worries.

The only thing i'm

worried about...

...is that mumbai

has a big-heart.

I'm scared that someone

might shatter it.

Everyone's keeping quiet only

because of our business.

If we leave the business...

...everyone will find

their voice.

What i am today is not because

of my business...

...but my decisions.

This city has always heeded

my decisions till date...

...and it will do so

in future as well.

No, sultan.

If we leave our business...

...we'll give our enemies a

chance to stand against us.

After that as the fear is over,

so will be our lives.

And the law will be after us.

You need brains and not business

to keep them in control.

I'm only changing my way of

living and not my attitude.

He's after me today.

He's...

brother.

Hello. Hello.

It wouldn't have swayed so

much when it was full.

So why now?

We were just playing. - So play.

I would've been ruined... if

not for you.

Till a horse is not beautified...

...he looks like a donkey.

As long as you're behind me

i'll never tire or stop.

Then use your mind.

I'm going to delhi.

I'll be gone for a long time.

Until then... you will handle

the business here.

And remember, this isn't your

property or a donation.

I will try not to let

you down this time.

You won't get a chance either.

Sultan has divided this

city into five parts.

Just like druapadi. - You utter

nonsense after drinking.

I'm not joking, javed.

Only two people are adequate

to run this city.

Sultan and me.

The rest are pushovers.

What do you want to do?

I want to kiss it, hug

it and play with it.

Do everything that'll take me

to new heights of success.

Higher than sultan.

I don't want to be

any lesser either.

People call him smuggler.

Sultan will call me don.

He'll give me a hug.

Try to see from my point

of view, javed.

It feels like we've trapped

someone's darling.

If we lose this opportunity...

...she'll slip out of our hands.

I'll destroy her but not

let her slip away.

How much longer?

The minister's slightly busy.

He will see you.

But you will have to

wait for a while.

Shoaib, there's a job which

only you can do.

I want to bump off my brother.

After the job's done...

...my man will give you

this piece of catechu.

Match them and handover

the money.

Will the job be done?

I won't deceive you.

This is just the first

success, javed.

Just watch how i turn

this 500,000...

...into five million before

sultan returns.

Sir, sultan sir comes

everyday to meet you.

What should i say?

Who am i?

The home minister.

And him. A petty goon of mumbai.

Does he think i have the

time to spare for him?

Let him wait.

There's no special trick

to sell alcohol...

...which only wardhan knows.

Its so easy even chandru

can do it.

Now we'll have our own brewery.

The profit will be ours.

Call kaalia.

Sultan will kill all of us.

You know how much he

detests kaalia.

He doesn't trust kaalia at all.

He trusts me.

That's why he handed

his post to me.

Just do as i said.

Don't try to rack your brains

if you don't have one.

I've heard entire mumabi

is scared of sultan mirza.

But he's sitting

here so timidly.

The truth is when he'll

show his true colour...

...the person sitting

inside... will run for cover.

What are you saying? He's

a dangerous man.

Don't be fooled, stay quiet.

It's easy to fire the gun. But

just as difficult to keep it safe.

None of us has ever used

it in our business.

Times are changing.

If you want to do business

peacefully...

...then we'll have to

start using it.

Fine, wait until sultan returns.

If i wait i'll be left behind.

Wardhan and pathan will win.

They aren't our enemies, shoaib.

There are no friends in

business, patrick.

What we want doesn't

make a difference?

What sultan wants is

more important.

But sultan isn't here at

the moment, it's me.

You snore just like you lecture.

Long and boring. - You?

How did you come here?

Minister, i haven't become

so ordinary...

...that anyone can stop me

from going anywhere.

What is this insolence?

I mean... what do you want?

Ministerial post.

Name your price.

That's not possible.

These days the government...

...is giving permission

to form new parties.

Since i grew sensible...

...i did everything which the

government doesn't permit.

What will the government get

if you get the permission?

Sultan mirza is all you need.

The opposition won't

stand a chance.

I want every bottle that's being

made in shoaib's brewery.

And throw all the alcohol

in the gutters.

No one should know that the

police is behind this.

Understand.

You want to erase all

evidence, sir.

That will only encourage,

shoaib.

Kaalia has given his statement.

his alcohol.

We can't we arrest shoaib?

What good will that do?

Didn't sultan kill dara?

What happened?

He was bailed out in 10 minutes.

He will get bail as well.

We're merely their publicity

agents now.

We arrest them and

they get bail.

You mean we should try

to cover their acts.

I'll shatter their unity

in such a way...

...that they'll never think about

coming together again.

Their strength lies

in their unity.

Once that's broken...

...everyone will be in our fist.

But who will shatter

their unity?

The same shoaib whose acts

we're covering up.

But he's close to sultan.

He isn't close to anyone.

But why will he go

against sultan.

He has already gone

against sultan.

I didn't understand.

Sultan might be involved

in wrong deeds...

...but he never polluted

the city.

He ruled the seas...

...that's why people are still

safe on the streets.

But shoaib chucked all his

principles in the sea.

So when two people with

different morality confront...

...there's bound to be collision.

But the one that's moving slower

and has older values...

...will suffer more loss.

I don't care about those two.

I just want the city unpolluted.

But shoaib is... khan's son.

Someone will have to
