He steered it clear of Ambala|...saving thousands of civilians.

Yet the Defence Minister|calls him rash.

I'm not moving...|this is for Ajay.

This could turn ugly, Aunty.

Let it.

UTv

Our blood is ranging.|It's flowing through the streets.

But it won't go in vain

Our eyes are blood shot for a purpose.|A cause we will attain.

It fell from our bodies,|embraced the earth.

Went winding through streets.|A river of courage

...it surged and swept.

It flowed to make a new|beginning

From gaping wounds,|and gashes large,

it oozed, slowly and steadily.

While the pointing fingers,|got fists in reply,

yet, our blood was raging.

It flowed not in vain|but with a reason.

A cause we will attain.

Our eyes are blood shot|for a reason.

A cause we will attain.

Our blood is raging.|It's flowing through the streets.

...it surged and swept.

It flowed to make a new|beginning

Yet, our blood was raging.

Yet, our blood was raging.

Someone get a doctor! Quick!|We'll take it from here.

They were beating up|innocent people...

Why didn't you|stop them?

You protested against|the government, our own party...

That's unacceptable.

The protest was not|against the government...

...it was forthe truth.

So many pilots have died...

...young innocent boys who were fighting|for our country... killed...

...so that someone in the|government could make money.

And our party office doesn't|do a thing about it.

Come... Sit down.

Have some tea.

Laxman, in politics there's|no place for emotions.

We have big plans foryou.

Big plans.

Only dogs salivate when|you show them bone Mishraji.

How's Aunty?

They're doing an MRI.

She's slipped into a coma.

Severe skull damage,|coupled with the shock of her son's death.

That's an ugly gash.|You need attention.

Aslam... How's he?

What have you come for?|Haven't you done enough damage?

Uncle, it isn't|what you think.

I'm not interested in what you think,|In what you want to do...

I'm just going to say this once.

Aslam doesn't|know what's good for him.

He's an emotional boy, always has been.|He listens to his heart, not his head.

These are bad times,|for people like us.

Don't take him|down with you.

He's inside.

Go on...

All parts working?

Don't make me laugh, idiot.|It hurts

How's Aunty?

She's in a coma.

How can this be|happening to us?

Some dinner?

No, don't worry Aunty.

We just came to see Aslam.|We've got to get back to the hospital.

Take care.

Listen... I...

...I'm sorry.

Please eat.

Everything's falling apart...

...and all I can do is|stand and watch.

People like us don't count|out here.

This system is so messed up, a hundred more|Ajay's can die and nothing will change.

Ajay did everything right,|all his life...

...he was a good pilot,|a good friend, a good son...

...he never harmed a soul.

...he didn't deserve this...

...Sonia didn't deserve this...

Hey Karan... they've|spoilt your jacket.

Long live India!

The scoundrel got|away with it again.

There's nothing can we do...

...when the law of the land protects|people like the Defence Minister.

We have to take|drastic measures.

What do you mean?

Do what?

Kill him.

What?

Kill the Defence Minister!|Are you crazy?

We aren't killers Sonia.

But they are.

Have you lost it Karan!

It's not a blood lust...

...it's a matter of justice.

I'll get the gun.

Don't fuel things, Pandey. We can't|start killing people for any small reason.

You think Ajay's death|is a small reason?

Ajay's mother is|a small reason?

You've got to understand Karan.

Lala Lajpat Rai's death|has to be avenged.

Scott has to be killed.

But...

I always thought we didn't|believe in anything.

So did I. Until now.

Have we all gone crazy?

He takes a morning walk at 8 a.m. Everyday,|We'll kill him then.

Who's we, huh?|Who's going to pull the trigger?

I'll do it!

Even though the morning security is relaxed|there is still a danger of getting caught.

There is no looking back now!

The Defence Minister was on his morning walk|when two unidentified gunmen opened fire.

He was hit by three bullets in his chest, and was|declared dead as he reached the hospital.

No group has yet claimed|responsibility forthis incident.

Government spokespersons believe that this is|an attempt to destablise the government.

The country has lost a great leader|because of the cowardly act of some terrorists.

He was a true soldier, a true patriot.

His contribution to the country|cannot be described in words.

Sukhi!

Meanwhile our sources have|discovered a telephonic conversation...

...involving middle man Rajnath Singhania|in an arms deal.

This conversation took place just a few days|before the Defence Minister's assassination.

The Russians want us|to reduce our commission.

Didn't you tell them,|its not a defence deal, but our deal.

That's why I told them. - "Take it or leave it"

Let's go.

Paaji, where's DJ?

They were just here.

He hasn't come home all night.

Is everything alright?

Yes, ask him to call me.

He said he'd be|spending the night at DJ's.

Have you seen DJ?

Is everything alright?

Come with me...

Don't worry... nothing|will happen to those boys...

Daljeet has always|been a brat...

...he used to disappear|on his bike for days...

I'm scared...

Don't be afraid...

God will take care of everything...

God watches over|the people we love.

Defence Minister...|the martyr...

...one of India's favourite sons...|Scoundrel!

They're honouring him|with the National Medal of Honour.

All our efforts, wasted.

People need to|know the truth.

...and who's going to tell them the truth?

We have to|surrender ourselves.

What?

Terriffic! You want us to walk right|in and give ourselves up!

And who should|we surrenderto?

The police are|mere puppets.

Should we just|sit back?

No! Let's kill|them all!

Right Pandey?

Someone make|him shut up!

You always knew that|yourfather was in it.

You knew everything.

No Sukhi...

You're lying!

You always wanted to take|revenge on yourfather.

Sukhi, shut up!

Who am I to say anything?

DJ he's used you...

...he's used all of us...

Mark my words,|his father will bail him out.

But we'll get caught.|And I don't want to die DJ...

I don't want to die.

We did all this for Ajay.

What will happen now DJ?

You've decided?

I need to know the truth...|don't worry.

I'm not worried.|Just don't be late.

Nothing will happen|to you Karan.

That's a promise.

Just give me the|names of the others.

I'll get you the best lawyers,|pull all the strings possible.

You were forced into it, do you|understand? You were forced.

Do you get me?

Yourfather's reputation,|his life's work is at stake.

Why did you do it?

Why did you do it, Dad?

What did I do?

Ajay always said,|"I'll give my life forthis country."

"...I'm not afraid of death."

Ajay was burnt alive... and all you can|think of is sending me out of the country...

You killed him!

You made a joke of his death...

I know you're very disturbed...

Relax! Let me|handle things.

I'll find a way out.
