Am I lucky or what? I've got three queens! Three queens!
What do you have? - A Joker!
What'll you do now?
Stop blowing your own trumpet - Here!
Hurry up!
Come on, - Will you play two to three times?
Not two to three times! Just once!
Here! - Yes!
Here!
Wow!
Here!
Can I get some marijuana?
Where's the money for the previous lot?
I'll pay up. But give me a little just for today.
Send the money by evening.
Otherwise, you are...
come on!
This is my card!
Get lost!
I saved it for you!
What a rotten day! No money for a measly joint.
Look, if you want to make money...
you'll have to work hard.
Get up at 5 a.m. Get ready by 6 a.m.
Reach soon by 7 a.m.
After 7 a.m. The place is packed.
But you can do good business there.
I can't get up so early in the morning.
I'll go and sleep there in the night itself.
When I wake up in the morning, the spot is mine!
You'll never learn.
Kamble, open the lockup!
Come on!
Sir...
so, how are you guys? Chilling out? - Yeah.
Fine? - Yeah.
Slept well last night? - Yes.
Where were you last night?
Sir, I was here. It's been three days.
You've been here since three days? - Yes, sir.
And you, where were you last night? - At home.
Home? - Where else!?
Where were you last night? - Home.
Will you speak up? Or should I make you speak up?
Ask them... how I do it. What say guys?
Mess with haj mas tan�s men,
and you'll lose your job.
You'll regret this!
Good morning sir. - Sir.
He's at it again.
Now call your mob boss.
Kamble, give him water...
or else he'll call his boss.
Some people need to make their presence felt.
And a scapegoat suffers... daily.
Mr. Sanjay! Sir!
That man... - What?
Sir...
what?
For the murder of a worthless beggar...
you've marked our unit with the stigma of a custodial death.
Sir, this is no ordinary murder.
It's the work of a twisted mind.
And as far as the custodial death goes...
I lost my temper...
I... I'm sorry.
I can't help you now sanjay. I can't do anything.
You're being suspended.
Sir?
Kedar, you're in charge of this area now. - Sir!
Sir, this killer will strike again. That's all.
Sanjay! Sanjay! Hurry up! We're late for the movie.
I'll get your clothes ready.
I've been suspended from duty.
Suspended?
Sir, what should be done about that roadside killing?
Forget it. It's a random killing. It won't happen again.
Sir, can't the dept. Give me another chance?
No, sanjay. You are out of the force.
Sir, off the record, unofficially, can't you give me another chance?
I'm very sure i'll solve this case, sir.
Sir, at the time of the very first murder, i'd warned you...
that this is a serial killer.
Now five murders have taken place.
At least believe me now.
Look sanjay, the dept's investigation is on.
But you can start a parallel investigation.
Definitely sir!
If you solve the case first...
then i'll get a reason... a basis...
for recommending you to be reinstated in the force.
Thank you, sir.
I guarantee you that...
I won't fail you, sir. Like always.
But, the dept...
will not help you in any manner whatsoever.
Yes. I know sir. I am ready.
Did anything work out?
Mr. Satam has given me another chance.
There is a case. If I solve it, then maybe...
what case is this?
Why do you want to know about the case?
Why not?
When have I ever discussed a case with you?
Sanjay sir, come...
how are you, kamble? - Fine, sir.
Sir, sit.
Your wife's not at home?
Sir...
what?
Kamble! This is your second wife who's run away.
What do you do? Do you beat them?
No, sir! I...
forget it sir. Tell me, what made you come here?
Give me a beedi.
Mr. Satam has given me another chance.
He has given me the case of the serial killings.
The problem is that I won't get any official help...
from the police dept.
Kamble, will you help me? - Just order me, sir.
The fir report, coroner's post-mortem report,
the forensic report, photographs...
I want a copy of all the records that the ciu has. Can I get them?
I'll try my best, sir. But there's a problem.
What?
Kedar.
Kamble! Where are you going?
Where are you taking these files?
Sir... mr. Satam has asked me to photocopy...
them and send them to his residence.
He'll study the case there, sir.
Come! Come!
How are you, sir? - Fine.
Sir, there's a leak in the roof. I'll get it fixed in a day or two.
I'll do it myself.
Sir, all five murders have taken place on the harbor line...
between soon and matunga...
within a radius of 5 kilometers.
Each murder was committed between 10 p.m. In the night...
and 4 a.m. In the morning.
And the most important clue is that...
all the murders were committed on a tuesday or a saturday.
None of us noted this point.
Maybe it's a coincidence.
Or maybe this man's psychology is like...
he's someone who wants attention.
Maybe he wants to create an urban legend like jack the ripper.
Whatever it is, I think he's challenging the police.
He's saying: "i've done this."
"Now catch me if you can."
If this pattern is correct, then he'll strike again...
this tuesday,
i'll take your leave now.
Thank you.
You'll go home now?
No, sir. I've got some other work.
Last night...
this guy I was with last night... I tell you... what a man he was...
I got tired you know... but he didn't...
hey... check out this guy... clean shaven sissy boy...
hi handsome! Bye!
Poor guy got embarrassed!
Leave him alone.
Hey handsome, coming with me? I'll take you to a corner!
Come on...
ghanshu!
Ghanshu!
How are you?
Sir, you... where've you been sir? I haven't seen you since ages...
you'll have dinner?
No sir. I'm full.
You'll have a joint?
Do you know anything about these murders taking place on the roads...
since the past one and half months?
The one who smashes people's heads while they sleep?
Yes, him.
Yes sir. I know...
who's he?
Stoneman!
We homeless people call him stoneman.
Ghanshu, I know that. But who is he?
Do you suspect anyone?
Yes sir. There is one man who I suspect.
Other pavement-dwellers in this area suspect him as well.
What's his name?
Mohammed.
Mohammed?
Where does he live? - I don't know, sir.
What does mohammed do?
He drives a cab. But only at night.
He keeps driving his cab all through the night.
He's twisted. Everyone fears him.
Yes! He keeps circling this area in his cab, every night.
Like this...
how are you so sure that he's the murderer?
If I tell you that... why will you need me?
But sir, in so many years, has my information...
ever turned out wrong? Even once?
No, not once. But five to six times.
No, no, no! No!
Okay! Listen now...
where can I find this mohammed?
You'll find him at haji's bar at wadala.
He's always there fooling around with whores.
Keep this.
Kamble!
Hello sir! - Hello.
I've got a lead.
We have to go to deepa bar to inquire. - Okay.
What 'okay'? Come on!
Do I have to come, sir?
Yes. We'll eat something there. Come...
come on! Come on! - But...
come on!
Kamble, hurry up!
His name is mohammed razak.
He used to work for haji mastan.
Now he drives a cab.
That's ruksana. She's a hot favourite with haji's men.
How much?
Don't you know? Rs. 50
and if you take too long, i'll charge extra.
What happened?
She's very shameless sir. You do it yourself.
Go home.
Only rs. 20
I just need some information.
The rate for that is double.
Sit.
Where can I find mohammed razak? - How should I know?
Isn't he your customer?
I don't ask my customers their names.
But, late night cabbies usually...
dine at chhote miyan's stall in wadala.
That's the only stall that remains open all through the night.
Give me a chicken roll.
Hasn't mohammed come today?
Who's mohammed? - That cab driver.
Oh yeah... mohammed, the cab driver - Yes, him.
No, he hasn't come as yet.
He comes around this hour everyday. Doesn't he?
Yes, he comes at this hour.
You've got some work with him?
No, not really.
Tell me if you have some work with him.
I'll pass on your message.
No, no... it's he who told me about your stall. - I see.
It's very good! - Thanks.
Hello...
'sanjay! There's been another murder! '
'Sanjay! Satam here! There's been another murder! '
'Check it out. I'm hanging up now! '
Yes! Sir! Sir!
There've been 4-5 murders before this too...
but who was this poor guy?
I think it is ghanshu. - Ghanshu? Who?
Ghanshyam, the drug addict.
Come on! Move! Move!
Move! Move! Go back!
Move! Move! Come on!
Get back! - Get back!
Start the proceedings. - Okay sir.
Who is that?
Give me the tape! - Give me the tape!
Here sir.
5 feet, 4 inches. Send the dead body for post-mortem.
And quickly call mr. Kedar. - Okay.
Gaikwad!
Note this in the record book as a piece of evidence.
And send it to the forensic lab. - Okay sir.
Tell me something, sanjay...
do you suspect anyone?
Yes.
Who?
Bandra east? - I'm eating.
Finish your dinner. We'll move after that.
What time is chhote miyan's stall open till?
Is it this crowded everyday?
I've heard people come from all over bombay just for these kebabs.
What?
Stop the car.
Stop the car!
Wait for a moment. Let me buy a cigarette.
Give me a single panama.
You're still awake?
How did this happen?
Somebody threw a stone in.
What time did it happen?
Who did it? Did you see him?
Why are you interrogating me?
Why don't you fix these neighbourhood boys?
The great policeman that you are!
This is the third time this has happened!
The other day their ball came in, today this stone came in...
are their parents going to pay for this?
Sir, along with mohammed's address...
I got some other info from the rto office.
The rto officials were saying that...
our senior officers thrashed this man so badly in the lock-up...
that he lost his mental balance.
And he started behaving strangely.
Now god alone knows what the truth is.
Where's mohammed? - I don't know!
What's going on?
Hey!
What are you doing? What is this?
Where's mohammed?
Where is mohammed?
He's gone away! - Where has he gone?
He left the neighbourhood. - When did he leave?
Today, in the morning. He packed his bags and left.
He left behind the cab too.
He took all the things inside his cab and he left.
What is this? How many earrings will you wear?
Sir!
Sir, mohammed has gone missing.
I see. Alright, you continue your investigation. - Right sir.
What are you doing here at this hour?
Nothing in particular...
cigarette? It's your brand.
I'm not in the mood.
Come on! Let's have some free dinner at khurshid's stall.
These are the joys of being in the police force.
Keeping a watch over the others?
You guys take turns in keeping a watch?
Do you know anything about this... stoneman?
Sit! Sit! Sit! I am a policeman! Sit!
It's crude wool sir. Shoddy wool.
You won't find it in bombay.
Why?
It has to be shipped in from mahabaleshwar.
The tribal people in the forests there...
produce it for their personal use.
Sure?
Sir, this is my bread and butter.
Hello...
sir, sanjay here.
Sanjay, it's good that you called me.
Commissioner ribiero has ordered 40 policemen
to be stationed on night duty...
between sion and matunga.
So, i think you should stop investigating this case.
Sir...
look, kedar doesn't know that i've asked you to carry out...
a parallel investigation of this case.
If he finds out, i'll be in trouble.
Sir, how can kedar harm you?
If kedar files a complaint against the dept...
i'll be in trouble.
Sir, don't worry about that.
I won't let anyone know, under any circumstance...
that i'm doing this with your consent.
Sir, i promise you.
Okay. Fine. But please, be careful.
Okay sir.
Play your move.
At least gamble on rs.10.
Come on, beautiful!
What? Not now?
The weather is romantic.
Sir, check out gaikwad. - Yeah, he has his hands full.
Look, what he's doing.
Sir, gaikwad had a good time at charni road.
No sir!
Come on!
What happened?
He's struck again.
Take him to the hospital.
Yes sir. That's what we are doing.
Gaikwad, call for the ambulance. - Yes.
Calm down! Calm down!
Gaikwad, hand me a handkerchief.
Bandage the wound.
Don't worry. I'm dressing the wound.
We'll take you to the hospital.
Bandage it! Bandage it!
Come on!
Carry him! Carry him!
Uncle, calm down. We are taking you to the hospital.
Nothing will happen to you.
It was a ghost sir! It was a spirit!
He had no eyes. He had no nose.
He had no lips. He had no features.
Oh my god! Oh my god!
Sir, it's pointless.
Everything happened so fast that he could not see anything.
And whatever he saw, he does not remember.
Also, it was pitch dark.
After coming this far, we are again back to square one.
'The notorious stoneman of bombay... '
'... has yet not been apprehended by the police.'
'This killer has claimed seven lives.'
'The residents of...
'... the sion-matunga belt are... '
'... afraid to step out of their homes after dark... '
'the entire city is living in fear... '
'the chief minister of maharashtra... '
'... mr. Vasantrao patil, has asked the state police commissioner... '
'... mr. J.f. Riberio to look into this case... '
sanjay - Yeah?
Where exactly do you go every night?
I go to work. Where else would i go?
Sanjay, what work?
I'd told you that mr. Satam has allotted a case to me.
I go for work connected to that case.
But the entire night?
You come home at 6 in the morning.
So what's new? I've worked 36 hours at a stretch.
It's part of my job.
Yeah, but you never stayed out...
all night like this.
This case is like that. Can't be helped.
Sanjay, what goddamned case is this!?
What's come over you?
What case is this... what case is this...!?
Manali, you know that in our special crimes unit...
we are not supposed to discuss cases with our families.
Your 'special crimes unit' has thrown you out!
Sanjay... sanjay, i didn't mean it like that.
My point is that i've seen a change in you...
over the past few days.
You seem preoccupied.
Leave aside sex...
you don't even talk to me properly.
Look, manali...
are you seeing another woman?
Is it her you go to every night?
Where are you going? - Nowhere.
Sir, you still haven't paid the rent!
I'll pay it!
Don't chew my brains everyday!
Chaurasiya!
What is it, sir?
What did i tell you?
What did you tell me?
I told you that i'll pay the rent, right?
You just said it...
but you haven't paid as yet... have you?
So that means you'll change the door lock?
What is the meaning of this?
So will you change the door lock? Tell me...
why are you pushing me?
Why are you pushing me?
And why should i change the lock?
I haven't changed any lock!
Then did your father come and...
look here, sir! Please mind your tongue!
Firstly you don't pay your rent and then you...
come and push your weight around!?
Manali! Listen to me...
you're leaving for our village by the first train tomorrow morning...
okay? I'll call up your mother to inform her.
Why? Why do you want me to go?
And that too, all of a sudden?
There is a reason. Your life is in danger.
And how? How is my life in danger?
Manali, please. Please don't be stubborn. Please.
That whore you visit every night...
is this her command?
I've had enough of your nonsense!
How dare you!?
I have no time for this juvenile behaviour!
Now, i won't stay a single day with you.
I'll go to the village myself.
You'll come with me! There'll be agents...
at matunga station. We'll buy a ticket from them...
and you will go! Come on now...
i'm not going anywhere with you.
Manali, please! Please... don't be stubborn!
Fine! I'll go alone.
But keep this door closed! Lock it from the inside.
And please don't open it for anyone!
The seat is confirmed? Sure?
Yes sir. Absolutely sure!
Take this. Keep this. Okay? - Okay sir. Thank you.
Yes manali, is everything fine there? I've got the ticket.
I'm coming back now. Hello...? Manali!
Face me! You coward!
'Sub inspector sanjay shelar! '
'Our primary duty is to help the helpless.'
It'll hurt a bit
hey, don't look at me like that.
He's back there.
Go! Go and arrest him.
Go! Hey! Here... is this better now? I was just helping him.
He is there. Over there.
Hey!
God, what happened? How did this happen?
There's no time to explain...
the police will be here any moment.
Take me to our mhada house.
I... i...? - Please!
I... - manali, please! Please listen to me now.
Come on! - Yes!
Take me there.
Come.
Be careful! Careful.
Thank you. - Slowly...
you didn't utter a sound while i removed the bullet.
That's because you were removing it.
You're very brave. - Is that so?
You're no less brave.
What do you mean?
You drove the car till here.
Sanjay, tell me, what's really happening here?
You asked me once why we need black money, right?
We need it for things like this house.
This house has just saved my life.
Sanjay, jokes apart. Tell me the truth. What's going on?
Can't discuss with the family.
But at least i should know who has done this to you?
Whatever happens, happens for the best.
At least you don't suspect me anymore.
I hope you have no more ideas that i go...
elsewhere at night.
Anyway, listen... tomorrow you'll go back to our village...
by the first train in the morning.
When things are settled here, i'll call you back.
Fine. But why don't you come along?
Manali, i can't.
I have some unfinished business to settle.
Come sir, come.
Where the hell are you taking us?
Sir, it's just a few steps away. We'll just turn from here...
and there we are. Please come.
Come, come, please come.
It's just across, sir.
Sir, please come.
There, that house.
He's lost his mind.
He has gone mad.
What's this? Looks like black magic.
I suspected him from the beginning. - Yes sir...
yes...
this guy had a bloodlust from the very start.
Earlier, he killed a gangster every month.
And now that he cannot kill any more gangsters...
he's started preying on these beggars.
He's lost it.
Sir, the serial killer we're looking for...
is none other than sub-inspector sanjay shelar himself.
We have conclusive evidence, sir.
We all saw him killing that man.
We tried to nab him, but he got away.
Sir, you can check with them.
Yes sir, mr. Kedar is right.
Sir, as soon as he saw us, he got away.
Sir, look at this. You'll find sanjay's fingerprints on this.
We found this near victim number six.
Sanjay's fingerprints are also imprinted on the knife...
that was used to kill the last victim.
And sir, during our night patrol...
we often saw sanjay...
walking aimlessly on the road at late hours.
Sir, the day victim number seven died,
we had seen sanjay in that vicinity.
He was wandering about aimlessly,
nearly at the time of the murder, sir.
Sir, i suspected sanjay right from the very beginning.
But i was finding it difficult to believe my own hunch.
No, you are coming! No, nothing doing.
Yes, you will have to come, yes!
No, you are coming.
Hey! Hey! - Come on. Get lost!
Kamble, give the line to mr. Satam.
Mr. Satam is with the commissioner...
kamble, give mr. Satam the line.
Mr. Satam is with the commissioner, sir.
Kamble, give the phone to mr. Satam!
Hello? - Yes sir...
i have almost solved the case.
Tonight there'll be another murder.
After tonight, the murders will stop.
Sir, we only have tonight to catch him red-handed.
I'm in a meeting right now. I'll talk to you later.
Sir, i have nearly solved this case.
After tonight he'll stop... - Yes, yes, i will call you later.
Okay - Sir, not later, sir... please...
i am sorry sir.
Continue.
Sir, sanjay loved his job. It was the crux of his existence.
So, since the time he was suspended...
he's been suffering a mental trauma.
And now, he has completely lost his mental balance.
'Hello' - Sir, this is sanjay here.
Sanjay, where've you been?
I've been trying to contact you...
yes... sir... i'm not at home.
Sanjay, now listen to me carefully.
Kedar is convinced that you've committed...
these eight murders.
Yes sir, i know. But i have some...
sanjay, there's no time for explanations.
The commissioner has issued orders to round up all suspects.
More than 40 police officers are carrying an order for your arrest.
That's why sanjay...
you should leave this city immediately.
Sir, that murderer is roaming scot-free!
Tonight he'll claim his next victim!
Sir, another innocent person will lose his life.
Please... please listen to me.
Concentrate on saving your own life right now.
Sir... listen to me...
enough, sanjay! Just leave the city right now.
I'll take care of the investigation myself.
When we nab the real killer, i'll contact you.
Till then, stay at your village.
Manali's there. Isn't she?
Yes sir, she is there, but... - It's an order!
Sir!
I'll send a white ambassador car for you at 10 p.m. Sharp.
It'll be parked under the byculla bridge.
My special constable will be seated inside.
You sit inside the car and he will take you to your village.
Sir, i can manage. You needn't take the trouble.
Sanjay, you don't understand.
All exit routes from bombay have been sealed.
But if you travel in my police car, you'll escape unhurt.
Because no one will dare to stop or check my car.
Is it clear?
Sir, i'll easily evade the police and escape.
You needn't take the trouble.
Sanjay, the entire force is on its toes.
Don't take this lightly.
All right sir. - All the best.
Hello. - Sir, it is me, kamble.
Yes kamble, tell me.
Sir, mr. Satam and the entire police force have made...
an elaborate plan to trap you.
Sir, mr. Satam will tell you...
that a car is being sent to pick you.
But there'll be police back-up behind that car.
Sir, this is a plan to trap you.
Sir, do not believe what mr. Satam tells you.
Sir? Mr. Sanjay?
Yes, kamble, one moment please...
do one thing. Meet me at national park at 10 tonight.
No, no, sir! I don't want to get involved in anything.
Sir, i'll lose my job, sir. I am hanging up.
Kamble! - Yes sir!
Be brave! - Sir i'm scared.
National park at 10! Got it?
Hello sir.
Sit down, sit.
Kamble, this should reach mr. Satam without fail.
There's important material in this...
clues, conclusions, etc. Okay? - Yes sir.
Sir, i think you should leave the city immediately.
How can i, kamble?
You know, when i had a tussle with the stoneman...
in the subway...
do you know what i saw?
What, sir? - His shoes.
They were boots, with a steel toe in the front.
The kind that prisoners make in the prison workshop.
Sir, i know that.
But you don't know that those boots...
are exclusively made for our unit. Only for our unit.
Size seven... and such heavy boots...
yet he was running so easily.
He is a police officer. From our unit.
But sir, what could be the motive of a police officer in such a case?
Superstition.
No, sir. Your deduction could be wrong. - It is not wrong, kamble.
These people were not murdered. They were sacrificed.
This is ritual killing.
That's why he leaves a piece of coconut...
and traces of red vermillion powder...
near each victim's body.
He places these offerings with precise discipline.
Like we would, during a prayer,
or a funeral,
or a religious ceremony.
But sir, how do you... know all this, sir?
In the interior regions of our state...
there's a tribal village.
There are no doctors there.
Only witch doctors.
The witch doctor's advice is the final word there.
These witch doctors practice black magic.
And this is one of their rituals.
Sir, what kind of ritual is this?
It's called 'nar-bali'
human sacrifice.
But sir, how are these things connected to our case?
Kamble, think about it.
These murders are committed only on tuesdays or saturdays.
And strictly between 10 p.m. And 4 a. M...
when the planetary alignments are in a particular order
this ritual has been carried out religiously.
As per this ritual, if nine men...
are sacrificed in this manner, then even incurable ailments...
can be cured.
What kind of ailments, sir?
Sexual impotence.
Inability to have a sexual relation.
This killer cannot sleep with a woman.
He is impotent.
Sir, eight men are already dead. That means...
there's one more to go.
And today is tuesday.
Another murder will be committed today.
I am confident.
And kamble, mark my words. This entire affair will end after today.
But sir, how do you know all this?
Never mind.
Just make sure that this file reaches mr. Satam.
Kamble, i'm entrusting you with this.
No one else should lay his hands on this - yes, sir.
And kamble, i have anotherjob for you.
I want a list of all men from tribal regions...
who have been recruited in our unit...
in the last 20 years.
Can you do it?
But you'd given me your word:
'Become a police informer and we'll set you free.'
But what kind of freedom is this?
The lockup was better than this.
At least i had peace of mind there.
I could send you back in.
Sir, it is not funny.
Each and every pavement-dweller...
is after my blood.
Mr. Kedar, as per your instructions...
i've been circulating my taxi in this area from 10 to 4.
And i've been spying on these beggars. But what happened?
Every pavement-dweller...
has begun to suspect me instead.
They all think that i am the stoneman.
I had to abandon my home.
Hello - Sir, this is yashwant here.
Has sanjay arrived?
No, sir. I've been waiting for a long time now.
Call me as soon as he comes. - Yes, sir.
Unit 5, come in! Unit 5, come in!
'We've received a tip from our informer.'
'He has seen sanjay shelar's car entering national park.'
About turn!
No! No!
No, kamble, no!
It is his car.
Stop it, kamble!
Kamble, don't be stupid!
I'll kill you!
Kamble, you are safe now.
Should we kill him right here? - No.
The case is solved.
But we still don't know...
the motive.
Our duty is now picking up unconscious people.
Kamble...
he'll tell us the motive. - Yes, sir.
Take him to the police hospital.
Okay sir.
We'll interrogate him once he regains consciousness.
Yes, sir. - Come on.
'After reading sanjay's file that we recovered from the park... '
'... i understood this case.'
'And i set this trap to nab kamble red-handed.'
'Sir, it is a very interesting case study.'
Yes, doctor. But whatever evidence you've got...
in connection with this case study...
please destroy all that evidence immediately.
No one outside our unit should know about this case's solution.
But sir, why?
The commissioner too should not know about this.
Why? So that he doesn't learn...
how you messed up the case?
Sir, see... - It's an order.
But sir... - It is an order.
Yes sir...
come on.
Sanjay,
i can't let it out in the media, in the press...
that my own subordinate went ahead and committed...
eight murders right under my very nose.
I understand sir.
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
But i can't take you back in the police force.
But before you go, i wish to give you a final order.
Oh tribe goddess,
i've offered you sacrifices.
At least now, grant my wish.
Respected shaman, where's kamble now?
Kamble has been permanently cured of all ailments.
You will be cured too.
Just get me nine stones.
Not from bombay, but from calcutta.
