Charas Page #4

- How'd I know?

You guys are incorrigible

Last year he called me up from Goa.

When is he giving me my money?

"Money? How much?

- 400,000"

He borrowed that for setting up

a restaurant last year

"Ever since, he has vanished"

I have good company here.

- One second

I pose no danger

"Look, I'm Sam's friend"

"I've come from England,

only to trace him"

Many of his so-called friends

came looking for him

All they could tell me was

that he's dead

"And two months later, Sam was seen

at the fair at Pushkar"

So stop spreading rumours

and quit this city

"After you go back,

you will do two things"

Tell Sam Higgins that

we'll trace him out

And tell his folks at home

that he is dead

Mr Ashraf...

"your uncle had called.

Call him up, it's urgent"

"How are you?

- Pretty good, sir"

What about that boy Dev?

"Sir, this area is hot.

Much is happening here"

I can make a report

if you wish

"Look son, just perform the task

you've been given"

"If you try to concentrate on

something else, you will be in a mess"

I hope you understand

What have you done to the boy?

- Scared him somewhat

Also thrashed him a bit.

- Thrashed? Stop the car!

What are you doing?

- One minute

What...? Why stop the car?

"Look, he is a British citizen.

He mustn't be harmed"

For God's sake!

If you don't disconnect now...

One minute.

- I'll take a taxi

"Look, you won't touch him.

We have no evidence against him"

He's only a suspect.

- Suspected for?

You don't need to know that

"I don't need...? Look sir,

I'm good at my work"

But I can't work like an ass.

I want to know what I'm doing...

and why? Only then it's fun

Tell me please.

What is it all about?

Even I don't know that

It's something serious

What's up?

All alone and gloomy?

Is that the girl...?

- Not the girl again

Really?

This place is sick

Drugs have gone to the roots

of this place

An innocent crime. This country

is plagued with greater problems

"Exactly. Unless the problem becomes

a menace, it is overlooked"

Ever seen a policeman around?

- No

So this place is turning out

to be another Columbia

Is there anyone called Dev Anand here?

Yes?

- That's nice

You look exactly like him.

- Like?

Like the actor Dev Anand.

- Are you a policeman?

"Don't I look like a policeman?

- You could be a lookalike, like me"

Oh no. I'm Kripa Shankar Singh

I'm an inspector

Did you meet an old man?

He wears those long boots

"Yes, I did.

- When did you meet him?"

Yesterday. Why? What happened?

He is dead

We found his corpse

45 minutes back

What did he tell you?

"Look, I'm a British citizen.

I'm a journalist"

It's a big problem.

- Right

You will have to hand over

your documents to me

And you can't leave this place

till the investigation is through

How long will it take?

- How long do you think?

Our country has

the best marijuana in the world

Foreigners have been producing

as well as smuggling it

No knowing since how long they

have been trading in our country

You will be baffled...

"I have names of ministers. Some

from here, some from other countries"

But Policeman tops the list

Policeman!

"Hiding in hills, he exports marijuana

worth 2 billion every year"

Marijuana...

is a primitive word

So primitive that

we forget its origin

The innocent offence of the ascetics

in the name of religion

"In reality, it's lethal"

"Valiant effort, honestly"

How did you manage it all alone?

- A friend helped me somewhat

I have mentioned him in the article.

- Who is he?

Dev.

- An ascetic?

Dev Anand

The parliament is baffled. An enquiry

committee will be instituted

The commissioner and the

superintendent have been summoned

I have stopped betting

I don't bet!

The writer is a good friend of Dev.

- I told you

"Sir, the case can be twisted.

- So twist it!"

I'm doing it.

- When?

I'll have to think. I'll call you.

- I'll have you killed in an encounter

The news created havoc

Another bomb exploded;...

The Italian Mafia remembered

its brother

Policeman had killed him

The biggest mistake

Policeman ever committed

"Brother-in-law, we were never

responsible for that Italian"

I'm not at fault.

- He wanted to meet Policeman

We only fixed the meeting.

They are trying to...

take undue advantage of your innocence.

- I'll kill you! You talk

He spoke too fast

Marijuana?

"Brother-in-law, call from London"

"The Italians wanted Policeman

and the Afghans, marijuana"

But how do the Afghans

get their hands on the marijuana?

Praful Tiwari would negotiate it

And Tim May would deal with Dev Anand

He was giving me an idea.

- Pardon me?

He gave me an idea.

- What idea?

It is that cop...

- Who wrote the article?

Yes. Just consider that

he is a Pakistani spy

He's trying to ruin India's image

This chap will prove that.

- Mr May?

Right.

- Wonderful

That saves you. So why have you

pulled up a long face?

Some Afghans have to be

settled there with Policeman

What for?

- Just know that I've lost power

Someone has to go to India...

who has good knowledge about

directions and wireless communication

Who can tell us about the secret place

where hemp is cultivated

It's very profitable

"Inform Amin.

- Right, sir"

Father wants you

What happened?

- Something important

Perhaps you'll have to

go to Hindustan

Hindustan?

Who was he?

An American journalist

It was only a job.

- Then why did you kill him?

Father wants me

I don't perform

two tasks at a time

I'm not getting through.

I'd rather throw it away!

What are you upto? You can't even

take care of your cellphone

And you vie for Telecom Ministry

"Listen... I hear, we've been

exposed in some magazine"

It's true.

You'd have faced a disaster

Disaster?

- Yes

There's a guy pitched up

at your place from Scotland Yard

He was enquiring about Sam Higgins.

I found it a bit serious

So I took help from some friends

So what do you want?

I have some friends whom you'll have

to put up with you for some days

The CIA is after them.

- Who are they?

Some Afghans

"No way. I don't deal

with terrorists, Tiwari"

They are the ones who sent

the Italians last time

They kept mum then. I can't

turn them down everytime

"International mafia, after all.

- Is it a suggestion? Or a threat?"

I'm not that wise to advice you

"I'm not an ass either,

to threaten you"

Well said

This is the trait of a fox

"Master, you rule over

all the animals"

Now that some poor animals

are seeking help...

please help them.

Only three Afghans

They will lie down in some corner

Done

"But Tiwari, if this is a trick, then

the world's too short for you to hide"

Done?

- Sort of

Yes? New Zealand versus Australia?

"Bet on Australia.

Yes, half a million"

"No comments, please"

The court will do the talking

"A warrant has been issued for

the arrest of the writer, the girl"

"And that guy who thinks he's an actor,

is in fact a Pakistani spy"

"Piya, the Crime Branch guys came to

the office and enquired about you"
