Half of you go in that direction.

Half of you go there.

The rest of you guys...|come with me!

Here's the pistol!

Move an inch, and...

Guards!

They've left.

- Let's go to your office.|- How can I?

You have asked me not to move!

The first order stands cancelled.|Let's go.

Is the jailer of the British days|so scared?

No!

Come and see us off|at the gate first!

Have the gate opened.

Open the gate.

Here's the key.

And here's the "pistol"!

The two of them must have|tried to run away, isn't it?

Tried to run away?|That's an understatement!

They put their lives|into it!

But I wasn't about|to let them go!

As I held one of them...

...the other tried to escape.

I dragged him back and asked,|"Where to, feller?"

With two stinging slaps, I ordered|them to the police station!

That was it! They were|begging at my feet!

Did Veeru and Jai really|beg at your feet?

They're dangerous criminals!

They're criminals, all right!

But I'm not called Soorma|Bhopali for nothing!

You can imagine!|They wept at my feet!

And begged for forgiveness;|I'd have forgiven them, too!

But I was furious that they had|dared to trespass my territory!

- What happened next?|- What else?!

You know I carry a stick!

It was days since I had used it.|So I got down to brass-tracks...

...and I really thrashed them!|I gave them a terrible beating!

- What happened next?|- What would have happened?

I held them by their collars|and said...

- What did you say?|- What did I?!

What did I say?!|Yes, I remember...

I said, " Do let me know if there is|something more I can do for you"

Well, guys... have you|nothing better to do?

You plunk yourselves here and|compel me to concoct falsehoods!

Go and attend to your work!|Go on... lazy bums!

Well... I was only kidding.

But you guys have been released|pretty quickly, haven't you?

My word! The stint at the prison|seems to have been good for you!

We are here to collect|our thousand Rupees.

- A thousand rupees?|- That's right. A thousand bucks.

I see!

I got the money the very next day|of your arrest!

Since that day, the money has been|lying in an envelope in my pocket!

Check it out...|it's a thousand bucks!

Well, Soorma... see you again.

It's these chaps I've|been looking for.

When does their prison term|come to an end?

On the 18th of the next month.

Could I have a beedi, guard?

Well, Inspector? Who have you|brought to the prison today?

I'm not an Inspector anymore.|I'm just Thakur Baldev Singh.

Why? Have you gotten over your|fondness of playing with dangers?

If your bravery really makes|you so arrogant...

...will you accept|an assignment from me?

We accept assignments|only for money.
