taken a long time.

Look there's a lot of work.

I'm going to Dubai.

Do something...

Go to Al Hussaini. You'll find

Theba and Chikna there.

I've spoken to them. You just have

to drop a car off somewhere.

Do that then you can leave.

When I reached there I

couldn't find anybody.

I met Sardar, who was

going out for a smoke.

There was work going

on in the garage.

Maruti vans, scooters,

it was all there.

They were packing some sticky

black paste into the...

scooters and the cars.

Hey idiot! That's not bathing soap.

Keep it separately.

What is that?

RDX, sir. They call

it 'black soap'.

Nails, glass, scrap iron... God

He went for a smoke.

Don't think he'll be back.
