What is happening to this city?

Ashes here, smoke there.

Why are you so silent?

Why have smoke forced

down your throat?

Now it's the limit of endurance.

Let's bring this

reckless act to an end.

Smoking is banned

in all public places.

Violation will lead to penalty.

Don't smoke.

No let anyone do.

Smoking will cost you.

Who doesn't want to be happy?

But at what price?

Smoking will cost you.

Smoking can cost you your health.

And for your dear ones.

Smoking will cost you.

With you, with you

With you, I live

With you, I'll die too

With you, with you

With you, I live

With you, I'll die too

With you, with you

My beloved, the glow of your love

Keeps my heart warm

May this light be never

Blown out by a storm

Never must this light

Go out in a storm

With you, I live

With you, I'll die too

With you, with you

My beloved, the glow of your love

Keeps my heart warm

May this light be never

Blown out by a storm

Never must this light

Go out in a storm

The show's at 3pm, right?

One, two...

- Buckle my shoe.

Very good.

Three, four...

- Shut the door.

Five, six...

- Pick up the sticks.

Wow! You've learned it all.

How about seven, eight...

Lay down straight.

Nine, ten...

Daanish, I'm already late.

Don't worry.

Thank you.

I'll take 2 minutes.

Keep the car running.

I'll be there soon.

Hurry please!

Okay.

Wait till mom's back...

I'll tell her what you're up to.

That's okay. Thanks.

Hi Daanish.

- Sartaj...

What's the latest on Rameez?

Farooq Rameez? He's in Pakistan.

No. He's right in front of me.

Connaught Place.

Rameez? In Delhi?

In a black SUV.

Get the license plate.

What block?

Hello, Daanish?

- Hello?

Hello, Sartaj?

Sartaj, can you hear me?

Car entering F block.

- Slow down, Papa...

you'll ruin my game.

Sartaj, hurry up.

Noorie's with me.

Papa, what's happening?

Get down, Noorie!

Papa, this belt is stuck...

Please open it.

Papa...

Come on, move!

Noorie...

Where's the doctor?

Where's the doctor on duty?

With you, with you

With you, with you

With you, I live

With you, I'll die too

With you, with you

Ruhana wants to be alone.

Come stay with me for a few days.

Daanish.

Here you go.

Get some rest.

And... here.

These pills...

will help you sleep.

Yeah, SP

We tracked down Rameez's

satellite phone.

He's still in Delhi.

Rameez's exact location?

It's some deserted colony

The entire sleeper cell is there.

Take enough ammo.

I'm sending the coordinates.

Got it.

How's Daanish?

Well...

He's asleep.

He's not great, but he'll get there.

Don't tell him about Rameez.

He might do something crazy.

Don't worry.

He's on sleeping pills.

Should be asleep

for at least 12 hours.

We'll see after that.

In a shootout between

terrorists and the police...

Officer Daanish's 4-year-old

daughter was killed.

The Delhi Police is investigating.

Team B, secure the back gate.

Remember...

We want Rameez alive

I repeat, catch the bastard alive.

Team A, secure the main body.

Block the main gate. Go!

Main body secured.

Copy.

Rooftop secured.

Good to go.

Sir... Daanish!

What's Daanish doing here?

What the hell is

Daanish doing there?

Get him out now.

Stop! Stop!

Move in now!

It's the police!

Come in.

Team B, move in.

Go! Go! Moving in now.

Cover that officer.

Pull out the car. Quick!

Rameez, go.

Move! Move!

Cover Rameez!

Target compromised. Move!

Let's go, quick.

Get the car!

Get in!

Go! Go!

Look up.

Look up!

According to our intel Rameez came

to Delhi to meet some politician.

Now how could we find him?

Sir, it was a shootout.

If someone shoots at us...

we can't just sit back.

We have to retaliate.

That's exactly what my boys did.

Sure, we could've...

handled it better...

Handled it better?

It's a bloody mess.

From what I heard...

It's all Daanish's fault.

Isn't it true?

Sir, Daanish's daughter...

Suspend him, send him on

a medical leave, I don't care.

Papa, this belt is stuck...

Papa, please help me!

Hey!

Turn the lights off!

Turn the lights off!

Hurry up!

Late again. Come on in.

Your wallet.

- Oh, thank God you found it!

All morning, Panditji kept asking...

if anyone

had returned his wallet.

Don't just stand there.

Come in.

Oh Lord, he's so strong...

and I'm so weak.

O Lord, show me the way.

How do I slay that evil King?

He's so mighty, and I...

Okay, stop, stop, stop.

Mr. Pawn, that's too timid!

"How do I slay the evil king?"

Son, you're seeking revenge,

not buying candy!

"How do I slay the evil king?"

Try it again. With all your heart.

How do I slay the evil king?

Like that. Once again.

- Panditji

Yes?

This gentleman found your wallet.

I've taken money for milk

Glasses lying around again!

Thank you...

You brought my daughter home.

This play is in her memory.

That's her... Nina, my daughter.

Last year,

she fell down a staircase...

and died.

I'm sorry.

Forgive me, your daughter's

news reached me late.

I came there, but...

I didn't want to disturb you...

So, I left without meeting you.

You... knew Noorie?

She came to learn chess,

with her mom.

Ruhana, right?

Yes.

This is where she came?

Just twice.

Two classes later,

she said, "This is easy!"

She'd beat me... always.

Before she left, she said

"I'll send my Papa over."

"Teach him chess."

"Poor guy's really weak."

See you.

Do come again...

To play chess with our kids.

You'll feel you're playing

with your daughter.

Like I... play with my daughter.

Sir...

For you and I,

the biggest enemy is time.

It just doesn't seem to pass.

If we get together over

a game of chess, it might.

I'm but a fraction

You make me whole

I owe my life not to heartbeats

But to you, my soul

Whether you say it or you don't

My heart can hear

You're with me, my dear

You're right here

Checkmate!

Uncle... checkmate!

I'm leaving in three minutes

Want to lose one more time?

You'll beat me in three minutes?

- No. In two.

The third minute is to laugh at you.

Go on... run along now!

This is where everyone

gets it wrong, Mr. Daanish.

Students come to learn how to win.

But first,

they must learn how to learn.

Watch!

Let's take this move back.

That's a wrong move. Take it back.

I can't.

Can't take back the wrong move.

There lies the difference

between life and chess.

There are no second chances in life.

In chess, there are.

Come on.

Your move.

Checkmate

A game is a game is a game

To play to win is a sin

Play to learn and you'll win

Checkmate.

Checkmate.

Checkmate.

You see this rook...

he's a crazy beast.

For now, quiet in his corner.

But if the pawn in

front of him dies...

this rook goes on a rampage.

What's going on?

Lower the window.

- Yes?

What's wrong?

- His horse died.

Horse died?

Your mind is your only tool

Moves that fool are the rule

A game is a game is a game

Checkmate!

A game is a game is a game

To play to win is a sin

Play to learn and you'll win

How was it?

- What?

How did it feel after killing them?

The people who killed your child.
