Not the right answer, Mr. Kamaal
Sorry
You are insane!
Why did you kill him? He gave the right answer
Don't come near me
The night is short, and there's lots to do. Get up
There's blood on your face
we need gas
why? - We have to travel far
If we run out of gas, we'll be in trouble
This gas station is the last one in the city
The next is hundred kilometers away
Farsightedness
I hope you aren't thinking?
I have lost my mind
Fill the gas
Hey Nikhil, long time no see. How are you?
Fill the tank, I'm in a hurry. - Right away
You know each other?
After all these years of coming here, we sure get to know each other
Nikhil, you got petrol. You've used only ten liters
The tank gets clogged sometimes, so I have to keep it full
You look tense. What's up? - Nothing, I'm tired
*HELP*
I got it, Nikhil. You are tired, I got it
Pick it up! - Hello? Dubai Police
Police control room? I'm calling...
from lmam Petrol Pump. There's a taxi...
Hello?
You killed my friend
My friend! - Not I, you killed him
You used your friend to save your own life
You passed him a note, didn't you?
I'm not the killer, you are the killer
You are...
the killer
well, let's concede...
I mean, let's say that Mussa has been murdered
How can we reach the conclusion...
that it was Jabbar who had Mussa assassinated?
Mister, you perhaps have no inkling...
that Mussa has also been double-crossing Yunus Pathan
Possibly then... - As it happened in the earlier murder...
people saw a taxi waiting under Mussa's flat
we checked the tyre-marks of both places... they're of the same make
wait... wait a minute
Taxi...? Murder? In a single night It means...
Means what?
A similar incident took place in Malaysia two years ago
A taxi-driver committed seven murders in a single night
And he was found dead in his taxi the next morning
But that case was solved
I think he was mentally insane
He killed innocents and subsequently shot himself. Right?
No, sir
An incident like this also took place in Hong Kong
Three murders in a single night...
and the cabbie was found dead in his taxi the next morning
And that taxi driver was neither...
insane nor did he have a criminal record
The CBI therefore believes that there is a killer who hires a taxi...
commits murders during the night and kills the taxi driver...
so that he does not reveal the killer's identity
I can't stay another second with you
Find another taxi, walk your way back...
or go to hell
I'll put up with the body. But I can't tolerate you anymore
You either can't understand Hindi anymore...
...or your memory is failing you
I said you will have to stay with me for as long as I complete my work
But I will not stay with you! Kill me, if you want to
I'm not staying with you! And what can you do anyway?
You want to kill me? Kill me. I'm leaving
*Kill me* is so easily said
when the cold nozzle of the gun is held to your temple...
you begin to realise the difference between life and death
Man then does not say *Kill me.* He says, *Help me, help me*
Okay?
Until I've finished two meetings, you're going to stay with me
where are you, you ass?
Have you set out with a taxi or a plane? Take the walkie-talkie!
Your mother's been repeatedly calling from the hospital
Your mobile is also switched off...
Go to her immediately, she's very worried
You didn't tell me your mother's in hospital?
As if you'd let me go, if I told you
when have I stopped you? You must meet your mother
Let's go. - Where to?
To meet your mother. Won't you introduce me to your mother?
No. Never
So how else will you meet her?
You got a message right now that your mother's worried about you
Soon people will come looking for you...
maybe even the *future girl* will arrive
I don't want them to come looking for you and die without any reason
C'mon
Press the knob
I hope the doctor's there. - Yes
Excuse me
I'm not just a police officer! I'm also an Indian... an Indian!
Bravo, son! Well said! You're the real hero... the real lion!
Ma, how many times will you watch the same movie?
Now you come...? Where have you been? I was so worried!
It's almost midnight, didn't you think of your mother at all?
Why've you switched off your phone? - Have you taken your medicine, Ma?
I don't want the medicine. - Have your medicine. Go on
Pappu...? Why're you standing there? Come here
Ma, that's not Pappu. - So who's he?
Hey sonny... come here. C'mon!
Come here!
My obeisances
May you live long, son. A cultured boy, aren't you?
This is the first time I'm seeing you
what lifeless eyes you have!
And why do you look as if you're in mourning?
You're not into the leather-business, are you?
Well, I am into the leather-trade, actually
That's all right... sit down
Sit down
Are you a new friend of his?
He doesn't like me. I'm forcibly keeping him company
He wasn't willing to bring me here. He said he was going to see Ma...
I asked if I could accompany him. He said, no
I thought he wanted to slip away some place else...
under the pretext of meeting Ma. So I insisted on joining him
I did right, didn't I? - I'm glad you came
This is how he has become ever since he has arrived here...
working all 24 hours of the day. - Big dreams, you see
Travel agency and so on and so forth...
such big dreams... obviously, man will have to work hard
Hard work? No task is difficult enough for my son to accomplish
Once he makes up his mind, he goes ahead and does it
I've taught him that... go ahead and do what you have decided to
Just one shortcoming. He gets upset very soon
I told him, rather than worry and grope in the dark...
try to light a lamp in darkness...
even if it burns your fingers. It will give light to others
One man must always help another. Even if one has to lose his life
Am I right? - What a noble idea
Once a lamp is lit... darkness is be done away with
Exactly. - Wonderful
where are your parents? In India?
Are you married yet or aren't you? - Married...?
Or are you still a bachelor?
Marriage! Marriage...
what's up? Looking for something? - Your words seem to have made...
quite an impact on your son
Give that bag to me
I'll shoot
No monkey tricks. Don't compel me to shoot
It had the name and whereabouts of my target... you've thrown it away!
I feel like pumping all the slugs into your skull
Make good the mistake you've made. Get up!
These are the four dead-bodies that have arrived for a post-mortem
You may identify them
Kamaal Khan was an artiste... why was he murdered?
He was also our witness. - What is very clear is that...
the assassin has killed them all in the same manner
He shot them all in the head
whoever he is, the killer made sure that his victims could not escape
One thing is clear then; they have all been killed by the same man
And the killer is a professional. - Exactly
There's something I can't figure out
Of the four people who are dead, two were our witnesses
The girl was bumped off because she happened to be with Mussa
But why was this attendant of the petrol pump killed...?
How about going to the airport? It�ll take 55 minutes
Sorry, 54 minutes
One bullet saved for self-safety, isn't it?
Right... take a right up ahead
No, this cab now moves at my will. Not yours
Anger begets anger, like stubbornness begets stubbornness
Take a right and you might be rid of me soon
And if you've started taking a liking...
to my company... drive as you wish to
That's like a sensible boy
Go on. Get down
For all the time we've spent together...
you haven't been able to understand me
Did you reckon my job would be left...
unfinished if you wrecked the laptop?
I leave nothing unfinished
You're the one who'll get down. - What?
That bungalow over there... that's Jabbar's bungalow
The underworld don Jabbar? - Yes. The one you call Big Brother
Go there and get names and photographs of the people there
All right. Okay
I'll go if you ask me, eh?
Get down... c'mon!
Step out
You have 24 minutes
I'll go straight to your mother in the 25th minute...
Don't utter my mother's name. - I did not... when did I?
Why get worked up for no reason?
Won't make me feel good to hurt your mother either
But I'm not you... I mean, I'm Nikhil
Become me for a while. You become me... what say?
Jabbar hasn't ever seen my face...
He's only heard my voice. Over the phone
Just tell them that you're Vikram. There'll be no problem
what if somebody recognises me?
We'll shoot him
what? - Don't waste time
You have only 22:23 minutes to go. If you're late even by a minute...
I wouldn't like it, but I'm going to really kill your mother
I'll kill her
Can't be helped. Good or bad, a job is a job
wait there... where do you think you're going?
Is Jabbar there? - There's no Jabbar here...
get lost. - Watch your manners
You think I've landed at the wrong place to deliver a pizza?
Go and tell Jabbar that Vikram is here
Show him in. - Sure
Search him
C'mon
Go on
Are you Vikram?
If you're Jabbar, I'm Vikram
Not nice to see beads of perspiration...
...on a contract-killer's forehead
Correct. I don't like the heat here either
You said you don't meet anyone. And today...
at this hour, you come calling without being invited?
Despite knowing that the CBI and the Dubai police...
are keeping an eye on us?
I had to come. There was no other way
what reason that you were compelled to see me?
Information
Meaning?
The laptop on which all the information...
...was stored has gone missing
what?
Gone missing?
Sorry
Sorry?
Sorry...?
Sorry!
You heard that...?
You guys heard that?
Sorry!
He thinks I got that information from a telephone directory!
The CBI and the Dubai police had kept...
...the identities of the witnesses...
under wraps! It was so tough...
spending money like water...
that I got information on witnesses who were testifying against me
And now...
you are all finished!
If Jabbar is finished, you guys are also finished
Go... go and look for a cleric. Go on!
Find a cleric to perform our last rites! Go!
One moment
Get a Hindu priest too
Because this guy's a Hindu
when I was a little boy...
my father...
always gave me a piece of advise
He said...
in times of hardship, turn to Allah
Allah will send an angel
I faced hardship, I turned to Allah...
and He sent to me an angel. From India
From India, that angel told me over the phone...
"Relax and go to sleep. All your troubles will be over"
And now, that angel sits before me like a school-boy...
who has lost his notebook and is complaining to me about it
He says, "I'm sorry. The information has gone missing"
In my shoes, what would you have done?
I'd first admonish an errant child and tell him...
that when an elderly man is talking about his childhood...
he mustn't flaunt his toy and disturb him
Get out
Now for that information. That laptop didn't go missing...
I destroyed it. Because, had the police to get their hands on it...
they'd have been here right now and you'd have been thinking...
not of your father, but ruing your misfortune
I've killed three of them. The girl, Mussa and Kamaal-saheb
There are two more to go and we have very little time
I strongly believe that those who waste time...
are wasted themselves. What do you think?
What an angel believes... how may a mere human being not?
Sir, according to the doctor's report...
the petrol-pump attendant was killed between 12:30 and one
we have enquired about all the cars...
that were refueled at the petrol pump...
during that period. - Fantastic
I mean, very good
The first card-holder was Javed Shaikh, a shopkeeper...
who has a shop at the Gold Market...
The second card-holder is Nikhil Joshi
A taxi-driver. He was the last one...
...to have his tank refilled at the pump
So Mr. Ranbir... what are you going to say now?
We now have solid reason to believe that...
it was this taxi-driver who killed the attendant
I hope not to meet you in the future and only talk to you
Can't say what's going to happen. But it was nice meeting you
Good night
what? - Good bye, sir
This guy's the next target. How am I going to save him? How?
When I first met you I thought you were a useful man
And you're really useful. - But you're a cheapskate...
to make me do this by dragging my mother into it
Sorry... for dragging your mother into it and also for punching you
where do you want to go? - Huh...?
What did Jabbar feed you? You're volunteering to drive me around!
You won't let go of me anyway...
So what's the point in repeating the same thing?
You don't plan on saving their lives by staying with me, do you?
Huh? Don't ever make that mistake
I'll be happy if I can save my skin from a lunatic like you
Very good. Keep thinking like that and you might actually survive
Because when someone sees me at work, he goes to sleep eternally
Grand Casino. Let's go
My boy Nikhil...?
No, sir... it's impossible
Sir... you surely have some misgivings
Misgivings, I had
They're now over
Four live human-beings...
he has turned into corpses at different places
The petrol-pump attendant was the one he killed last
But like every killer... his game is now up
There's a youngster at Jabbar's bungalow, sir
we've got him on our secret cameras
wonderful. Mr Ranbir... let's go
Freeze... zoom in
wait... clear the image
It's the same taxi driver
But what's he doing outside Jabbar House?
Maybe he's there to collect money
which means Jabbar definitely has a hand in these killings
I'm sorry... you're right
Alert all police stations and have photographs sent to them
Driver of taxi number D78595 is to be treated as dangerous
Tell me something... you weren't scared...
...when you met Jabbar, were you?
I was, initially, but...
I soon discovered that he himself was terrified
Really? - A don, I thought...
would have everything at his disposal. Money, power...
but after meeting him, I realized he had nothing
No peace, no sleep, no happiness
we lead a better life than him. We. The common people
A new battle every day, a new problem...
a problem we face squarely
we don't wait for hired goons, you see?
Is that a dig at me?
You're not so dumb
Hey... come here. - Yes, sir?
Seen this guy somewhere? - No sir... I have no idea
Oh no!
Hello! Police Control Room!
Follow them!
Why are the cops always after you?
Were you a thief in your earlier birth?
Can't say about my earlier birth, but if you stick to me like this...
I'll surely be wanted in this carnation
Taxi on road number 53!
You are already a wanted criminal. Don't slow down the cab
what do you mean? - The police has fitted secret cameras...
outside Jabbar's bungalow. The cameras have caught you...
and the cops are now looking for you
There's a corpse in this cab's boot. Whose name is the petrol-card in?
So who's the killer? - You mean...
the cops think I've committed the murders you have?
You are the one who committed the murders
I'm just a simple diamond-merchant
Roopchand Swaroopchand. Here's my passport
So you planned the whole thing? I thought you were only using my taxi!
But you've been using me! You bastard!
Swear-words...? So you're shit scared, eh?
But you just said you face your problems, fight your own battles...
and what was that about... goons? Hired ones...?
So you've lost it all, eh?
Pull up the cab!
Step out
Stop it there...
Pursuit on Highway Number 9
Step on it! Faster!
Police Control Room...? - Hyder here
The taxi driver has given us the slip! - Where is he headed?
Bur Dubai. - Bur Dubai...?
Bur Dubai...?
Where the Grand Casino is, isn't it? - Right
My God!
It means our fourth witness Sheikh Mehmood Al Zubair is his next target!
Joshi, you do know how to wriggle out of tight spots
I asked you to race your cab and you're making it fly
I'm going to blow out your senses now
Enough of putting up with you and the scare...
you're going to die now. Because I've cast my fear aside
what?
Slow down the taxi... people will get killed
I'll do whatever has to be done!
Didn't you say a helpless man can't have his way?
How can I be helpless? I have the gun and...
But I'm at the wheel and I have my foot on the accelerator
You're repeating my words to me! Slow down the cab...
people are going to get killed!
Not nice to see a killer sweating
But everybody's got to die some day. Isn't that what you said?
Well? Can't you think of a couplet for this occasion?
No, not right now... stop this madness!
I ought to have gotten into this madness long ago!
Stop the taxi... stop it!
This taxi will stop when you've stopped breathing
Stop the taxi! - No... shoot! Shoot!
I hold the steering-wheel of your life right now
watch how I jam the brakes on your life!
Are you okay...?
I got to go, sir! The killer... - Relax
Someone's life is in danger, sir! Please let me go!
Someone's life is in danger...! - Relax...
Hands up. - He's gone in that direction...
Shut up! - Hear me out, please, sir!
Bow down... now, I say! - Listen to me, please...
Shut up
Don't shoot, I say! Put down that gun! - Unlock this... unlock it!
What you're doing is wrong
Sorry, I got to go. Grand Casino. Inform the cops over wireless
wait there...
where d'you think you're going...? - Drop me at the casino, please
I said no... - watch out!
This moment... now!
Excuse me...
excuse me...
Bomb, bomb... - Bomb...?
You... hands up!
I haven't killed anyone... it's him... Vikram!
Move out... move out! I say, move!
Move... move... move...
It's that guy who killed the Sheikh!
I said, move it! I'm a CBI officer from India... c'mon!
Hey... my next target is Joshi's *future girl*
So what's gonna happen of you, Joshi?
Goddamit!
Rhea...?
There he is!
Pick up the phone... pick it up!
Rhea! Nikhil here! Get out of there immediately!
Nikhil? Where are you calling from?
This is no time to explain. Leave immediately... your life's in danger
He's coming to kill you... - Nikhil, I can't hear you
Rhea! Stop talking nonsense... - My battery's going dead, Nikhil
Listen to me, Rhea...
The battery's dead
Try your call again
Taxi!
*The world won't understand what's up between you and me*
*You and I, my love, share relations that have come a long way*
*My heart's yours, so am I... hold me in your arms*
*My love, sweetheart...*
*I have loved you, I swear it on you*
*My love, sweetheart...*
*I have loved you, I swear it on you*
Is he all right...? - What happened?
Carry him
*Terror lurks everywhere...*
*the night will be set on fire*
In the car... careful
*Terror lurks everywhere...*
*it'll even set the night on fire*
*If only my life is spared tonight...*
*who knows what might happen*
*The one with the innocent looks is now the target*
*I know it deep down in my heart... something's about to happen*
*My love, sweetheart...*
*I have loved you, I swear it on you*
Are you okay? - I got to go...
You've met with an accident. - I got to go!
Hey! You're gonna die!
*Charming, bewitching...*
*I'm everybody's muse*
*I'm the fairy you dream of...*
*and yet, I'm called unfaithful*
*It's not for the crazy ones to understand me*
*Like the flame, I've burnt my heart to shed the light of love*
*My love, sweetheart...*
*I have loved you, I swear it on you*
C'mon... move it!
Move!
Hey... stop him!
He's learnt the tricks!
Shit! - What's happening, Nikhil?
Who is he? And why does he want to kill us?
Not us... you
You're going to testify against Jabbar, aren't you?
Yes, that's why I came to Dubai. He has killed my brother!
I want revenge from him! - Joshi-ji...
Joshi-ji...
hey Joshi-ji...
where you hiding, you stone-hearted man?
Come out in the open, will you?
He wants to kill me, isn't it? I'll go to him...
Rhea, listen to me... - Let go of me! Let go!
What are you doing, Nikhil? - Hang on for a second
Let go... - Hang on, I say!
Let go of me!
Didn't I tell you, you are someone special I could lay down my life for?
So this is my test
Sorry, I got to tie you up
*Come out in the open, you cheat*
*what secret in cheating me like this?
*Not even the Almighty shall be able to hide anymore...*
*this cry comes from the depths of my soul*
How long are you going to make me sing, Josh-ji?
I have one bullet, one hour and one last target
Stop wasting your energy and my time!
What can I do, Joshi-ji...?
I had no idea my last target would be your future-girl
But there it is...
and you know, I leave no job unfinished
Because a job is...
job is...?
A job is a job
Aah! Joshi-ji!
Roopchand Swaroopchand
All alone? Where's she...?
Honestly, man comes and goes from this world all alone
Aha! From a cabbie, you've grown into a philosopher!
But I'm no philosopher! I had lied that I have just one bullet left
I have a lot of slugs
Shoot... go on...
fire...
Shoot me... fire...
without this gun, you're a zero... zero!
Ever since you got into my cab, you've made my life miserable!
You got me to carry the body, forced me to taste blood...
I didn't force my way into your cab, did I?
How was I to know that you'd turn out to be a devil?
Must I carry a placard to say I'm a killer?
That won't be necessary! Because you won't live anymore!
As if I came here to die at the hands of a cabbie!
Nikhil...
Brace up to die at the hands of an obsessed lover!
Now...?
Kill me! Kill me! - Rhea! No...
Let go... - Kill me, kill me...
kill me, go ahead!
Shit, you're wasting time again
Laila and Mane, are you?
Shirin and Farhad?
So you want to die the death of lovers? Very well...
I'll kill you like lovers
You tried to save so many people, but could you really?
Here's the last chance. Hug, embrace...
after that, I'll shoot
*Embrace, for there might not be a beautiful night like this ever again*
*For all you know, you might never meet each other ever again*
That's how it's going to be
Your romance has really got me killed
Your job is to kill, mine is to save
what can be done...? A job is a job
I love you
Next time.
