I somehow don't feel like|leaving you alone, Jai.

- Take care, okay?|- Sure.

There's just one bullet!

- Are you okay, Jai?!|- Yes... I'm okay.

I've killed every|single bastard before...

Don't worry, Jai!|Just don't be scared!

Why must I be scared when|you're with me, Veeru?

Let's return to our village!|Everything will be all right!

My game is up, Veeru.

- It's all over...|- No!

No, Jai! Don't say such things!

But I have no regrets, Veeru.

I have lived for my friend...|and am dying before him!

But there is something|I'm leaving unfinished, Veeru.

I won't be able to tell|stories to your children.

You're going to be all right, Jai!|Nothing will happen to you!

But you must tell your children|tales of our friendship and exploits.

You won't forget that, will you?

What nonsense are you talking?!

Look there, Veeru...

There's yet another|incomplete story, Veeru.

What had I dreamed of;|and what has come to be?

No, Jai!|You can't leave me like this!

No!

No, Jai! Please don't!

No, Jai!|You can't do this to me!

Jai! You have cheated me|to save my life?

I swear upon the blood|that you have shed!

I will pick and choose each|one of them, and give them death!

Gabbar Singh!|I'm coming after you!

Run! But how far|will you go, you swine!

Gabbar! Come out in the open!

Face me like a man,|you bastard!

I've come to avenge every drop|of blood that my friend has shed!

You can't escape death today!

Hand him over to me, Veeru.

No, Thakur! I'm not going to|let this bastard live anymore!

Don't forget your promise, Veeru!

I don't remember anything!

All I know is that this bastard's|men have killed my friend!

And I'm going to have|his blood for that!

It was that very friend of yours|who had made a promise to me.

Leave him alone.

I wish it was I who had made the|promise; I'd have broken it today!

But it was my friend|who gave you his word.

So...

You can't fight me, Thakur!|I've already cut your arms!

One uses his feet, not his hands,|to crush the snake, Gabbar!

My feet are enough|to deal with you!

Your arms are full of|strength, aren't they?

Gabbar! Give your hands to me!

No!

Give me this hand, Gabbar!

No!

Let him go!

It is up to the justice system to...|punish a criminal.

Justice needs Gabbar...

Dead or alive!

Your emotions have overcome your...|duties and responsibilities?

Justice does not have any respect left?

Thakur Sahib... I know of your sufferings.

But don't forget... that you've been...|such a police officer...

that you are still idolized today.

Well, Thakur...|I must leave now.

I know I can't share your grief;
