Jasjeet attacks DeSilva at his apartment, but De Silva recognizes the photo of Jasjeet's son as Deepu and promises to hand over Deepto to Jasjeet once he completes his mission to kill Singhania. De Silva murders Singhania and the police attack the location and arrest Vijay. De Silva is killed in the shoot-out when Singhania's men kidnap De Silva and the van blows up after being surrounded by the police. This devastates Vijay, as De Silva was the only person who could prove that he is not the real Don. Having discovered his true identity, Don's associates turn against him. Vijay escapes by jumping out of a flight that was carrying him to an offshore prison and meets with Roma to recover the disc that he gave De Silva and prove his innocence.

Meanwhile, Jasjit finds the disc in De Silva's apartment. Vijay and Roma pose as buyers for the disc and contact Jasjeet's friend, who gives them Jasjeet's address. Jasjeet simultaneously receives a call and is told that he will have to bring the disc to the men who are holding Deepu hostage. He learns that De Silva has been alive all along and is actually Vardhan, Boris's other lieutenant, who was using Vijay to reach Singhania. Jasjeet realizes he is trapped and uses a fake call to escape from Vardhaan. At his apartment Vijay is waiting and they fight, but Deepu intervenes and recognizes Vija as his friend. Jasjeet teams up with Vijay and Roma and reveals De Silva's true identity. The trio come up with a plan and inform Interpol.
