Could we take a small walk?

I won't waste too much of your time

Noguests will arrive any moment

I have so much to do

All right

I'll call you tomorrow

NoI'll call you

The door's open Come in

May I come in, uncle?

- Do come in, son

Sorry to be disturbing you

so late in the night

I've had one too many today

I saw the light in Dad's room

and you know, he's angry with me

I came here, because I don't

want him to see me in this state

Maybe I'm disturbing you?

- Not at all! C'mon in

Sit down

I've disturbed your reading

- Not at all, son

How far have they got

with the enquiry?

They're still at itYou know how

it is with the army's investigation

It might take time,

but it's going to be all right

Tongues will always wag, uncle

but I don't care

But it does hurt when someone

close, starts avoiding me

and becoming indifferent

You feel it

Am I boring you?

- No, son

Actually, I went to

see Pooja recently

But she wouldn't come with me

She refused

I wanted to talk to her

I don't know why she turned me down

But she loves me very much

And I love her a lot, too

You know we're getting

married soon, don't you?

But she refused to see me

It must actually have been

her motherWhat do you think?

Parents do tend to be a little

more strict in such cases, right?

But I wonder she didn't

even telephone me

Mr Dave has arrived from Delhi

for the investigation, son

What does he think?

- I don't know

But I've answered every question

he asked in the last 3 days

I didn't even take offence to

something he asked time and again

I was afraid he'd find

a clue in my statement

which would lead him

to the real traitor

I have a feeling they don't

want to get to the truth

They have already decided

that I'm guilty

They've engaged spies to shadow me

They're following meme!

As if I were the traitor!

As if I'd sell the code!

How are you?

- How are you, Jai?

Okay The enquiry's still underway

I got emotional with your dad today

I must go

- It's late Eat before you leave

They must be waiting for me

- Eat before you leave, I say

Sit down here Or I'll

- Have me Court Martialled?

I'm really disturbing you folks

And Anjali

She's right, son

Have something to eat

She's very stubborn

What's this?

- Some vegetable rolls

I like you being stubborn today

I haven't eaten properly

in the last many days

Let's go, driver

What happened?

Well, Major?

She has gone away, has she?

That was Pooja Mallappa, right?

- Want us to call her back?

Go and bring her back, Tiwari

- There's no need for that

They're waiting for you, sir

Don't lose heart, Major

She mustn't have heard you

She heard him, did you say?

Really?

No one stands by you in

your bad times, Mr Mishra

I will stand by him! I'll talk to

her and bring them together

I have some duty, too

The Major has saved my life

That's not necessary

Welcome, Mr Mishra!

Everyone's waiting for you!

Thanksone is enough

- Could I have one, too?

You? Go ahead and garland him

Please come You're being awaited

- Go ahead I'll get my friend

Why're you bothering him, Mr Mishra?

I hope it doesn't misfire on you

Write just my speeches, feller

Don't tell me what to do in life!

Go and sit in the jeep Go on!

Join us for some snacks, Major

He doesn't seem to be in the mood

What's wrong with his mood?

- Abhrush has escaped

and he has lost the girl too

Are you going to hit me?

Once again?

You slapped this cheek then

Slap the other one now

He's really slapped him!

I warned him not to

mess with that chap!

You wanted the garland, didn't you?

So enjoy yourself!

The garland's gonna kill you!

Go and help him!

- I'm a writer, sir I'm no fighter!

Where are you going?!

Don't cover your eyes!

He's being stripped!

Don't look back him!

He'll beat you up!

Where to?

- In the boot then?

Let me get in too!

Let's get out of herequick!

What isn't right, Col Husain?

Every evidence the enquiry has

unearthed, is against Jaidev

There was a transaction of

a huge amount of money

Their papers were found

in Jaidev's drawer!

We can't ignore all this evidence

- I'm sorry to say this

but evidence could even

be planted, sir

What are you trying to say?

- Jaidev would never do this, sir

It's impossible He's the

best officer of my unit

Service to the nation has been

a tradition in his family

Jaidev could never do

such a thing, sir

I can understand your

feelings, Col Husain

Remember the officers who were caught

in the Godhra and Karnal spy cases?

They were the best of

the officers too

Who could have suspected them?

You can never say when

or what pressure

a soldier will sell out

or succumb to

Which is why we must

overcome our emotions

and go by the book

in such cases

Here are the convening orders

for Jaidev's Court Martial

What madness is this, sir?!

Will you arrest me?!

Will you Court Martial me?!

Why don't you understand?!

This is Abhrush's ploy

to get me out of the way

so his mission can succeed!

He has implicated me

with the help of the traitor

who is in our midst!

Do you hear that?

What's all this? You see

these medals, don't you?

Are they given to someone who

sells the nationto a traitor?!

I have worshipped this nation

and this institution!

I have placed the army before

my family and self

The whole of my lineage has been

dedicated to this institution

I have always staked my life

to uphold the dignity of the army!

And this very institution today

rubs my face in the dirt!

It is out to crush me!

Phone for you, sir

Jai? This is Pooja

I'm calling from the airport

I'm leaving for Australia

I've accepted the contract

for modelling, Jai

I wish things had worked out

the way we wanted them to

Why have you come here, Anjali?

I've been wanting to meet you

But they wouldn't let me

With difficulty

- Go away

Now look, Jai

- Go away

I want to tell you something

It might help you

Nobody can help me anymore

Nobody!

My soul is dead

it's charred!

And what can you do?

Pray to God?

So ask Himfor what sin

am I paying such a heavy price?

Who is the one who has

ruined my life?

If I could get my hands

on him onceJust once

We're delighted that you want

to donate money for our library

We have several priceless books

in this library

The moment I get your cheque,

I will first

get the electrical fittings

in the building completed

What's that round thing there?

- Part of the old drainage system

We had to cut it when

we made the basement

It's not being used anymore

- Where does it lead to?

Across the road, it flows

into the big drain

Listen carefully There will be an

assembly of atleast 10,000 people

Have more sets of RDX brought in

and plant it in this place

- 10 in this VIP area

- Greetings!

Greetings, Mr Abhrush!

- Greetings

You look in good health

But you had weakened before Jaidev!

Look! A model of the Town Hall!

- Right! A replica!

We're holding a big function at

this place on the 15th of August

I will deliver a speech
