Lower it.
Bro, have you decided to finish me off?
We've applied for presidential pardon.
This is Govt procedure. We have to go by the rules.
Can we change it just for you?
You still have time, Shankar.
Anything can happen by then.
Pray to Jesus.
Shankar, your wife has come.
'For all the crimes you've committed'
'this is the apt punishment given by our judiciary.'

'you won't be alive.'
'I left behind all my bonds and belongings.'
'And came trusting only you.'
'For all your betrayal'
'who will punish you?
'That's why you are in the jaws of death.'
Shankar, go to the toilet, shower and get ready soon.
Did you get any information?
That's it, right?
I need a 'beedi'.
Otherwise I can't relieve myself.
Bro, give me a mini-cigar.
I first started smoking only a 'beedi'.
Let the same be my last!
Shall I ask for hot water for you, Shankar?
No need, sir.
Anyhow just a while longer.
And this body will turn cold.
Now there's some warmth in my body.
Touch and see.
Earlier... it was real hot.
That's why I painted the town red!
Do you have any other last wish, Shankar?
Sir.
Bible.
I want to listen to 'Prayer of Penitence', sir.
'My children, after shouldering burdens and tired to the bones, come to me.'
'Our Lord who says 'I will provide you comfort.'
'Your son is standing on the edge of sin.'
'May all his sins be washed in Your ever pure blood.'
'May he be embraced into your Heavenly abode.'
'Prayer to Jesus our Savior.'
