Ek Aur Ek Gyarah: By Hook or by Crook

Well? Have the four of you brought a treasure vault?

Can't you see? lt's a cupboard

Your master placed an order yesterday. We're here to deliver it

But my master has already left for his vacations today

Anyway, bring it in. - Move it, guys

Come on in

One and one...

makes eleven

one and one...

makes eleven...

my friend

One and one... is eleven

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten...

and one... is eleven

One and one is never two

Those who laugh, never cry

Those who keep awake, never fall asleep

Their identities, they never lose

Wherever they find an enemy...

they deliver the punch...

my friend

One and one make eleven, my friend

They are Tara and Sitara

Homeless orphans, driven by poverty and despair...

they have formed a team together

They have taken the words of their foster mother very seriously

They believe that should one and one come together...

they possess the power of eleven. They then set out...

on the path of thievery and fraud. They think they will...

win over this world and carve a place of their own

Little did they know that there are the worst of thieves in the world...

who are not just enemies of society...

but of the nation and humanity at large

An instance of this kind became the biggest lesson for Tara and Sitara...

when they met the dreaded criminals, Cobra and Panther

Sir, our soldiers are ready to take the guns to the base

Load the guns quickly. We've got to leave

But you have an appointment with Mr Subramaniam at 1 2

Plans have changed. For security reasons

As you know, sir, no one except you has the permission to go inside

He's on official work for our department

He's responsible for delivery of the gun at the base

But orders are orders, sir

Major, the Captain is doing his duty. Orders are orders

You can go ahead. l'll wait here, okay?

What is the matter? - This is Dr Subramaniam's cabin, sir

While l meet Dr Subramaniam in privacy, you will wait here

We need proper security for this gun

We have toiled for years to develop this gun

Come, let me give you a demonstration

lt has an inbuilt sensor which detects movements within a 10-kilometer range

Our soldiers will be greatly benefitted in dealing with infiltrators

Because we don't want the gun to fall in wrong hands...

each gun has been given a different code-number

Without the code-number, this gun will not function

What is the code-number to operate the gun?

Ml2 3853713

First sign the documents

You've signed the document...

but you haven't entered the password of this operation?

You know very well, Ram Singh

Without the password, you cannot take this gun away

This gun... l am surely taking away

You're here, sir? - Where else? This is my base

You were in there a little while ago, and this is the only entry-point

l've arrived just now. ln your presence

ln my presence, you've already passed through sir

You also had an officer of your department with you

My brother has left with the gun. You can do what you wish

He has only left with the gun. Not the code

Without the code, that gun is worthless

And l'll get the gun back... because you're with me

You can't do a thing!

Greetings, sir. - Welcome, Bahadur Singh

What brings you to my place today? - l've come with a reason, sir

l've come to warn you, sir. - Warn me...?

A pair of thieves has struck terror. - Terror...?

They hit upon such novel ideas for robbery...

the police are left stunned. - Don't tell me!

A few days ago, they got into a cupboard and robbed the whole house

The whole house...?

They rent a house for a few days...

and sell the place, as if they own it

Sell it away? - They pose as servants and...

Sir... - Milk, or the yogurt-shake?

The two of them... at your place?

The way they've taken care of me, even my children haven't

After they've taken care of you, they'll vanish with the loot!

What do you mean? - They're conning you!

They're the twosome l've been warning you about

One is Tara... - The other is Sitara. l know

l say... you've ruined all our efforts

Even if a criminal wants to reform...

people like you won't let him turn a new leaf

l say... have you forgotten? - lt might hurt

We had sworn it on your head that we'd work hard for a living

That we'd never steal again

That's just what we were doing, but you've told our employer about us

You've snatched our livelihood. Where to...?

l got a kick on the waist

Sir, l wish to tell you something today

lf these guardians of the law keep harping on cliches...

people like us will keep going to the jails

No, l'm not letting you guys become thieves

You're staying here with me. - Sir, l will leave now

But you'd better remain alert with them

A fire... - he has started

No, he hasn't

l know you guys are reformed

But tell me of your modus operandi as thieves...

so l will remain alert with cheats in the future

We first survey a locality. - Then?

Then we get into the household which is most innocent and wealthy

Then? - Then...

we serve the master as his servants. - Like you've been serving me?

And when we've won the confidence of our master...

we lace his milk or yogurt-shake with a bit of sedative and...

Such foolish people! Their yogurt-shake is laced with sedatives

And they don't even get to know...

Did he... get to know? The moron

Ruined

This man was out to reform those thieves

But those thieves have put him to sleep

l told you to remain alert

But you will continue to sleep

C'mon

Tara and Sitara... your game is up

Don't even try to escape. Else, l'll let you have it

He's getting dramatic. - Looks like he wants to die

Tell me something, Bahadur Singh

Why're you always hounding us innocent guys?

Because of you guys, l haven't had a wash in a week

But l'm taking you to the cleaners. Nicely so!

No more jokes, lnspector. Else, an innocent man will die

That's Cobra, isn't it? - Yes, sir

You guys know who you're messing with?

Shut up! Else, l'll pluck your eye-balls out

You speak as if you've got a reward of millions on your head!

You're right. - Can't you see...?

the cops and the thieves are making a deal?

Go ahead and kill him. That's Cobra. The dreaded criminal

There's a reward of 100,000 for catching him, dead or alive

Landed us in trouble, haven't you? - You ought to carry a signboard...

that you're Cobra. How would we know?

There's a reward of 100,000 on his head

Will we get it? - Sure

lf l let you live to claim the reward

Arrest all three of them

Before l turn cold, let me take his blessings

lt's Mr Cobra who's being presented in court

And why're we going there? - That's the new style

Hammer a nail into a block of wood, it'll sail with it in the waters

Like Mr Cobra here. He's the engine...

and we're the trailers. lf he runs, we run. For no reason

For how many years do you think Mr Cobra will be sent away?

Going by the way he looks and behaves, l think...

you tell me how many years you're likely to get

He's scowling at me. - ls he?

Let me see, Brother Cobra

Sure he's scowling

l think there's a terrible storm lurking behind his silence

Brother...

don't be angry, we're kids. Give us a smile

You guys are free

Move it

Lovely weather... - Shut up. l've had enough

C'mon

There's a car parked down there. lt'll take you to the highway

Mike will...

We don't utter names in the presence of strangers

He was revealing our gameplan

What's with him, brother? Why's he fallen down?

My bullet got him. - We didn't even hear it

When did it happen? - You fired yesterday, did you?

Today. Want to hear it again?

Don't move... l'll shoot

Drop the guns, or l'll shoot

Well? We call you brother and you turn out to be a snob?

What have you been up to? What...?

Are you going to talk or undo these chains?

What's with the chains?

l say, who's screaming?

ls it the chains? - No, it's a leg actually

The bullet hit him a little below the chains in the leg

What the hell have you done? Cobra... forgive us!

Was it a mistake? - What if it struck him 4 inches up?

No one has survived. - Let me undo these chains

Why're you shooting at me? - Not you, l blew the chains away

So what do we do? - Run

Where's my brother... where?

Get up, sir. Police!

Congratulations, sir. Cobra has been captured

That's all right. But where have Tara and Sitara disappeared...?

My job's on the line! And you...

you call yourself a big criminal and you couldn't stop those guys?

Get up

How will he get up? He's got a bullet-injury in his leg

Carry him on your shoulders and take him to the hospital

Where will l go looking for them in this wilderness? Tara! Sitara!

Lots of stuff they've collected
