around here, except this one.

That's why the construction

workers come here to eat.

You're not needed for that.

I am a cop.

I can stop them from coming here.

Hello, Martin!

- Hello, sir.

Peter, get Mr. Sawant some

coffee.

Vijay, how are you doing?

We were working out a deal.

We just settled on the commission.

What's the commission for?

For the meals of the construction

workers at the new police station.

Who's taking a commission?

Mr. Sawant, coffee.

Yes.

Mr. Sawant, I know,

I should not be saying this.

What's the meaning of

the police is your friend week?

It's the duty of the police to

be friendly and help the public.

Then, why is it being done

for a week, in the whole year?

You're right, Vijay.

But, until the people are scared to

file complaints, it's impossible.

That's why, we're doing

all this.

It will sort itself

out, gradually.

But, all police officers

aren't like you, sir.

Some are big, black bed bugs...

...who can only feed off

other people's blood.

What are you doing?

I'm digging a pit for

the compost.

You know what? Compost and

speed post are 2 different things.

I know what compost means.

If you bury dry leaves and organic

garbage for six months...

...it turns into fertilizer.

I learnt that in school.

I just came to tell you that...

...next weekend on 2nd

and 3rd October...

...Swami Chinmayanand is holding

sermons in Panaji.

So?

- So, we should go!

It's been a year since we heard

him preach. - You go ahead.

Either we go together, or nobody does.

- Mom!

I won't spare you! Mom can't save you.

- Mom!

Come here.

- Mom! No!

Come here.

- Anju.

We spent so much

to send you on a nature camp.

You didn't tell us about it.

It was great fun! There were

students from 40 schools.

We went sightseeing, had a bonfire,

we sang songs.

And we had a lot of fun.

There were kids from

VIP families too.

One of them was called Sam.

He used to keep shooting

videos of girls with his phone.

Did he shoot you, too?

Yes.

- Why didn't you complain?

Later, an advocate's daughter

scolded him.

Then, he stopped it.

Which school was he from?

St. Thomas.

Is this an old construction?

- Yes.

No wonder the foundation

has crumbled.

Don't worry, it will get done.

It's just a day's work.

Then, do it whenever you have time.

- Okay.

The slab laying work at the police

station is done.

I have to start the flooring

from Monday.

So, once that's done,

we'll get this done. Okay?

Okay, thank you.

I would have taken

the money from any other guy.

Mr. Rane, I'm sorry.

I have taken your money.

I will pay it back gradually.

Just give me a few days.

What the heck, Rane?

You think, you're too smart!

Did you get taken in by

some uneducated fool?

Do you think, you'll be safe if you

complain to Mr. Prabhu about me?

The money I have taken from you...

...included his cut, too.

Do you get that?

He complained about me!

If you do that, again, I'll make

sure you pack up!

Who are you threatening?

I know Mr. Prabhu really well.

He isn't like you.

Why are you asking me?

I don't have to ask,

we all know you.

Listen, Vijay. I've had

enough of your sass.

Just zip it.

- Why should I?

Everyone knows you feed off more

on money, than you eat food.

What the heck...

- Hey, Gaitonde! Stop!

Okay, okay. Let me go.

Let go!

I won't spare you, Vijay.

We will settle up later.

I'll have my day.

Every dog has his day.

He came so defiantly, but, he's

leaving like a mouse!

Vijay, don't get into

trouble over me.

I will do the job and leave.

He's going to harass you

later for no reason.

Vijay, Gaitonde is a cop.

He has power.

Don't mess with him.

I didn't mess with him.

And I didn't lie.

Why are we so scared of cops?

They are meant to serve us

and not the other way around.

" When the clouds rain down...

...I look at you to my

heart's content."

" You are a prayer

for rain, to me."

Very good.

" Let me stay in your arms...

...let me go crazy for you" .

" Let me suffer whatever you have

to give me, my love."

451 .

Jose.

- Hmm.

I've got a headache.

I'm going home. Understood?

Okay.

- He doesn't understand a thing.

If it's Sunny Leone,

you're bound to get a headache.

Dr. Joshi...

Rascal! He understands

everything.

Sometimes, I wonder.

Okay so, who made

you wonder today?

Let's go in, I'll tell you.

No, tell me or

I won't let you in.

Come on, you can't do that.

- Tell me.

Sunny Leone? Right?

Jism 2 or Jackpot?

Jackpot.

You're now a dad,

but you still act like a kid.

I'm not a kid.

I'm young.

Good morning, dad.

- Good morning.

Good morning.

Dad, did you come home,

last night?

Yes, dear.

- Why?

Anu, don't ask nosy questions.

Why? Dad comes home,

very rarely, so I asked.

Don't ask too many questions.

Don't you have to go to school?

You're not even wearing

your uniforms, yet.

Come on, dad!

How could you forget?

What?

- It's a holiday, today.

Did the school declare

that, or did you do that?

Our daughters make excuses

expertly.

It's Sunday tomorrow.

Why do you have a holiday today?

It's Gandhi Jayanti today.

So? Go and study.

No, dad. I am going to play.

These kids...

Won't you bathe, today?

I don't want to.

So, who's going to work?

I don't know.

I ran out of stamina yesterday.

I mean, that...

...my bike broke down on the way.

So, I had to push it home.

I got tired.

Anju.

I'll give you a list.

Get some things from the market.

Okay. Can I go in the evening,

please?

Alright, but don't forget.

Anju. Remember me?

It's Sam.

Yes, I do. But, what are you

doing here?

Me? I came to meet you.

Me?

- Hmm.

Why?

Finish it. Okay?

- Hmm.

See who's at the door.

- Okay.

Hi, Anju.

Don't worry. I didn't

show this video to anyone.

In fact, I'm thinking of

deleting it.

You want that, too, right?

Great! Make my wish

come true.

Tonight at 1 1 pm,

behind your house.

You'll meet me, right?

No! I won't come there.

I didn't show this video to anyone.

Not even my friends.

I didn't forward it or think

of uploading it on the net.

But, just think about it.

What if I do all that?

What about your family's reputation?

Sam, please, Sam!

Please, delete this video.

Why are you hassling me?

Please!

I will do it.

Tonight at 1 1 pm.

Behind your house.

Alone.

Alright?

I'll see you.

- No, Sam!

I'll see you.

- Sam!

Sam, please!

Sam!

Sam!

What is it?

I've a slight headache.

Do you want some medicine?

No. I'll be fine, once I lie

down for a bit.

Eat something.

It's almost dinner time.

Run! Run!

- No!

Run!

It seems, a storm is coming.

Hey, don't jinx it!

I'm leaving.

Got an umbrella?

- Yes.

Anju, you shouldn't have

done this.

I guess, you aren't

taking me seriously.

Sam, please!

Don't harass me anymore.

Please, delete the video.

- Should I delete it?

You cheated me.

- No, Sam.

Just you wait.

Why are you doing this?

We didn't harm you in any way.

I request you...

...don't ruin her life.

It's no use, now.
