Why don't you tell me?

I promise we'll hold an enquiry.

Sorry, I won't change my statement.

- But your statement...

I slipped on the staircase

of the bridge!

Be seated.

I'm not saying this

as a police officer...

but as an elderly person.

Sir, why doesn't Mr. Vijay

give a true statement?

You won't understand.

He wants to take revenge himself.

How long will you sulk like this?

You're silent the whole day

like a mute.

That, reminds me.

Sit down, I'll tell you a joke.

This friend of mine,

was charged with murder.

His lawyer said

"You talk too much".

"But when the defence lawyer

questions you, play mute."

Just keep doing...

By the grace of God, he won.

His lawyer said...

Look, we've won, so pay me.

Know what my friend said?

You're strange! I tell a joke,

and you don't laugh?

I told a joke for the first time

in my life and this happens!

Now you only by to

convince him. I'm going.

Go on, talk it over.

Vijay, see that picture there?

Bhabi said there used to be

a volcano there.

One day the volcano erupted

and lava flowed...

And by and by there formed

a sweet-water lake.

Yes, I know.

But why all this... to me?

Because there's a volcano within

you too. Unless it erupts...

and the lava flows, there can

never be a sweet-water lake!

There was a time when I held you back.

But today I request you. Go!

Go and take revenge on them,

who have made you like this.

Because of whom you're

suffocating within.

I promise you, Vijay.

If anything happens to you...

I'll be fine. However, before I go

I'd like to say something.

Something which I've said to

myself many times, but never to you.

Vijay... where to?

Come here.

Get in.

- You know where I'm going.

I do. And for friendship's sake

I'm willing to go even to hell! Sit.

I've come. Where are we to go?

Within one week our city hospitals

have had 75 serious cases...

effected by illicit hooch laced

with some ammonium chloride.

Some will die,

Some will go blind, others...

As soon as possible we've to find

the place where this hooch is made.

Find the routes from where it's

taken out to be distributed.

Find the people who make

business out of this.

I can tell you, sir.

- You?

I know the businessman who

sells death filled in bottles.

Who?

- A highly respected big shot!

Seth Dharam Dayal Teja!

Do you know what you're saying?

- Very well, sir.

Any proof?

Tell them what all you told me.

Talk!

- Don't hit me. I'll tell you.

Kabir here. Catastrophe, Sir.

All out joints have been raided.

Our men were caught. Only our flat

and Garden House is spared.

When was this?

- An hour ago. Police is after you.

Better get out, sir.

- Do one thing.

Send Mona to the

Garden House and you come here.

No need to panic.

- Right, sir.

Cigarette?

As you wish.

Teja has gone. Now we can get

to him only through that girl.

Give me the bottle.

- Why?

To return it to the man,

who gave it to your sons.

Mona, you're here? Very good.

Now what? I don't understand.

- Don't fret so, my dear.

Soon we'll be far away from

this country.

Kabir should be here any moment.

And our boat may come here

at any time now.

The police don't know about

our Colaba flat as yet.

Go and get whatever cash

you find there.

All my jewels are there too.

- You go with him and come direct.

But you, and all alone?

- I'm not alone. I have this with me.

Take the back door out.

The game's up! For you.

I don't accept defeat so easily.

But good thing that

you came personally.

Today I've come to

return this bottle to you.

The adulterated hooch

from this bottle...

snatched Mr. D'Silva's

three young, able sons.

But Vijay. India is

such a vast country...

that every minute some people

die and some are born.

Now tell me, how to keep account

of all those who die and are born?

But, this poison was given

to them by you.

May be I did give them poison, But...

I drink Scotch. And

I'll offer some to you too.

Have a peg made by me.

Before you die.

What happened?

- Twenty years ago...

you had murdered

a man and his wife!

I've killed many people

in my life. Here, have this.

That man's name was Ranjit.

Yes. But how do you know?

That day you committed 2 murders.

When in fact you should

have committed 3!

What do you mean?

- I'll explain.

That 3rd person, is me!

Son of Ranjit and Sumitra!

For 20 long years,

that bracelet in your hand...

was biting my insides

like a snake.

But now... Now I remember everything.

The pistol in your hand...

my father's wounded chest...

My mother falling to your bullet.

I recall everything!

I won't spare you now. Never!

Swine!

That night you held the gun.

Today, I'm holding it.

That was a Diwali Night.

Today is one too.

But I won't kill you so easily,

bloody swine!

If you have the guts... Here!

You devil!

In a train, without permission

smoking is not allowed!

Love your life so much, eh?

Tell him to let go Teja. Else...

- You'll kill me, eh?

You devil's disciples!

My skull is made of iron!

Shoot me in the chest!

You nitwits.

Why do you stop, Vijay? If I die,

thousands will be born.

If a rascal like Teja lives,

thousands of good folks will die!

Let me go! I'll kill him!

- Come to your senses!

This man's a killer.

I'll kill him!

He's a murderer!

I'll kill him!

I've a warrant here

to arrest you, Mr. Teja.

No need to show it to me.

I'm ready to come with you. Come.

But first you'll have to

come with me, Sir!

Watch it!

Throw down your weapons.

Else, I'll shoot him.

And now you'll escort me

to Rethighat.

If you want you can shoot me.

But I'm not going anywhere.

You'll accompany me! Understand?

I really made a mistake.

I should've murdered 3 people.

Never mind.

I'll kill the 3rd one now...

Greetings, sir.

- Hello, Khan.

Two devil's disciples

are lying over there too.
