Shekhar Verma?

What's up, Colonel?

You took that flight

lt's good to see you, Colonel

Move, everyone

Sit

lt's been years. You still look

the same, years after l met you last

You haven't changed

Drink?

You really haven't changed, Colonel.

- Didn't feel the need

ln fact... you haven't changed either

l didn't feel the need either

Where were you?

Wandering

How is Khanna?

Dead

Where?

- Punjab border

And Pady... Parmanand?

Kashmir. Machine gun

Damn. God bless them.

They were good men

Yes, Colonel?

- Sometimes l think...

God will never forgive us

for what we did

l have stopped thinking about it

That's right l guess

l think you made a mistake

by saving my life

You'd rather have let me die

Come on. l did the right thing

To be honest, l did it for myself,

not for you

For the sake of friendship. Remember

the first principle of friendship?

Be true to it,

or don't extend your hand

Your words

Baby, come on

Why did you call me?

What's the hurry, Colonel? We'll talk

in the morning. Now tell me...

These flat-nosed jerks!

They start early dawn

Welcome to Bangkok, Colonel

Excuse me, l'll be right back

Bro, no touching the girls

No touching the girls

You like to fight, eh?

- Okay

Outside

l thought you'd kill them

No, Colonel. l have stopped killing.

l'm out of the business of killing

What...? Bodyguard? Me ?

Are you in your senses?

l can't even take care of a corpse

No big deal.

All you got to do is...

hold a gun and stay with that family

Of late, it's fashion for the rich

Yes, but Shekhar you know that

l hate crowds

Then be the silent type, Colonel.

That's your style

But one thing l trust

What?

You will certainly save a corpse.

lt's under no danger

Take it easy

Have you been watching the news?

lt's all going downhill

What's going on in this city? lt all

seems to be going out of control

Labour problems, raw materials

getting expensive...

and reducing bank balances.

We have to find another option

What about the London deal?

- The response is good

We'll have to go to London soon

Chang, where are your boys?

Gentleman... Colonel Suryaveer Singh,

the best

Hello! How do you do?

- Mr Ravi. His lawyer, Chang

Have a chat

lmpressive.

Very impressive, Mr Singh

Nepal, East Pakistan,

Sri Lanka

Great record. So why do you

want to work for a paltry sum?

l got a problem, sir.

- What?

l booze.

- Even we do

How much do you drink?

- As much as my body takes

Does it affect work?

My hands tremble. Sometimes

the body doesn't respond to the mind

ln which case, if someone tries

to kidnap me, what will you do?

Either he dies or me.

Nothing will happen to you

l like that.

This drinking problem...

you don't need to tell my wife

Thank you, sir

Welcome, Mr Singh

Nikasha

My wife

Meet Suryaveer Singh,

our new bodyguard

So glad to finally meet you.

- How do you do, ma'am?

Ravi spoke a lot about you. Besides,

it's always heartening to see an lndian

Would you like something?

- Scotch double. Straight up

Sure

Among the two, who do l stay with?

Didn't Ravi tell you?

Oh my God! You're gonna be in

for a big surprise

Anamika

Our life, our daughter...

our most prized possession. Anamika

Anamika, this is Mr Suryaveer Singh.

Your new bodyguard

quite a brat sometimes

lf you don't mind...

- No, no problem

l'll go and get my stuff

Thanks

What?

- Why didn't you tell me?

What? What happened?

- That l have to stay with a kid

No need to get worked up

Crowd and kids... you know how l feel.

- Oh come on, Colonel

How'd a kid harm you?

Hardcore terrorists didn't scare you.

You are afraid of a little kid? Relax

lt's gonna be fine. l promise.

- Yeah

l love you

This is your room,

with detached bathroom

This cabinet has

all the things you need

Good night, Surya.

See you tomorrow

Good night.

- Good night

So how was your first meeting

with Surya?

He's very boring

and always tensed

How come?

- Can't you tell from his face...

that he is sad, worried

and tensed, Mummy?

Mom, why is he sad?

l don't know. But l'll ask him

and tell you. Okay?

You are too mature for your age

Good night, Mom.

- Good night

Love you, Mom

Good night, bear.

Surya Bear

Okay. l think you should step out

Hello, Mrs Sharma.

Nice to see you back in school.

- Thank you, Mrs Sharma

Meet my bodyguard Mr Surya

Hello sir, how are you?

- How do you do, ma'am?

Well Anamika, you'll

get late for class

Bodyguard? May l say something

if you don't mind, sir?

Sure.

- l'm confident, you're honest at work

But l pity you guys

for the work you do

l wish there was no need

for such a job in this world

l pity too. However, not

everyone's destiny is the same

ln these times, it's rather imperative

for people like me to be born

Excuse me

Hi. What's up?

- Hey, man

lndian?

Yo brother

Yo brother... from different mother

Over here, brother.

You are lndian, right?

What do l look like?

- Looks hardly matter. l'm lndian too

But do l look like one?

Hang on

You have no idea, after a long time

l've met someone who understands Hindi

Kripa Shankar is the name, sir.

- Excuse me

Wait

You can call me Krispi.

- Crisp?

Was born in lndia, but exported

to Bangkok in childhood

You have no idea how happy l am

to meet you

Anyway, tell me if l can help you

Help?

- Right. There's nothing here...

that l can't fetch you.

You are from lndia, l must serve you

Serve?

- Yes, sir. Food, booze...

heroin, opium... anything.

Just about anything

Here, you don't need a racket to

play table tennis. Hope you follow?
