Where are the bullets?

- It was there...

I swear it was there.

It was there... where's it?

It's here.

This is loaded.

What are you doing?

- I've found out everything.

You've been seen with

a policeman many times.

Who's seen me?

- A man. He's coming.

Your man is talking nonsense.

Since when are you

fooling us? Speak up!

How do I fool you?

You're already one.

You planned all this

with a policeman, isn't it?

You can think what you want.

But move this pistol.

Ok.

Listen... Move it! You'll

fire a shot by mistake. Hey!

Move it! Hey!

Move it! Move it!

Chicken!

He's such a chicken!

What you said there...

what's it about?

I was just kidding, Major.

There should be

some fun, isn't it?

That guy has been shot,

and he's lying there.

There's no sign of Andy and Mark.

The police can come in anytime.

And you feel like having fun?

Ok, Major. I'm sorry.

I was just...

I was just what?

I was just what?

All of you are crazy! Don't

know what I've gotten myself into!

Hey Major...

- Hey! Move your hand!

Now don't get so annoyed...

- What don't get annoyed?

You're getting too angry,

Major. I was just kidding.

Even I was kidding.

Hey don't touch me!

If you're done with your love

scene, then shall I say something?

Yes. Tell me. What do

you want to blabber about?

Yes. I'll blabber. From now,

I'm going to blabber.

We're standing like this over

here. What if the police come?

Let them come. We'll see.

You see them. See

them through binoculars.

I'm going.

- Where are you going?

Somewhere where I can stay alive.

At least one of us has to

stay alive to attend your burial.

Asking where, huh! Bye!

Hey! What are you doing?

Have you gone mad?

You're not going anywhere.

Tell me something, who are

you to stop me everyday?

Your father. Because right now,

he's the one who has a loaded gun.

So? So?

So you're such a chicken...

such a chicken...

...that a few bullets fired here and

there made you wet your pants eh?

Hey chicken! Hey chicken,

speak up!

Yes, I'm a chicken!

I'm a chicken!

You're a beggar!

A beggar! You don't

have anyone of your own.

I've a twenty year old sister. A

twenty year old sister, understood?

Shall I marry her?

Will you marry her? Do

you have the guts to do so?

She's mentally

retarded since birth.

I'll be your slave all

life if you marry her.

Will you marry her?

I've taken care of her...

...since childhood.

Will you take care of her?

I'm a chicken! So what?

What's wrong in that?

You're scared to

death now, aren't you?

Aren't you scared now?

You were making a big plan!

We'll earn a lot of money!

Earn a lot of money, eh?

Because of you we all are in a mess

now. Because of you, understood?

He's right.

- Major, you too?

Hadn't you shot that fellow then we

wouldn't have gotten into trouble.

I can't understand you people. -

Why? Didn't you shoot that man?

He was trying to

press the alarm, Major.

All the alarms were deactivated.

All the alarms were deactivated.

I had forgotten that!

I explained to him a

thousand times not to move.

I even pressed a gun to his temple.

Even then he moved,

so I shot him.

It was a matter of my honor.

What else could I've done?

Then you did the right thing.

Even I don't compromise

when it comes to my honor.

Hey! What are you saying? Even

you killed four people there.

What else could I have done?

I had to protect myself.

Even you should've practiced

your firing on 2-3 people.

It was such a fine opportunity,

so many constables together.

Do you think that

I'm a donkey like you?

Because of your

foolishness I'm trapped here today.

He... he... he got

shot instead of me.

That bullet was meant for me, I was

saved because he came in between.

If not, then I

would've died today. Fools!

If I had known that

you all are such big...

Then I wouldn't have taken up this job

I would never have taken up this job.

Hey Major!

- What is it?

Are you going to bark all day or

are you going to bite as well?

Hey! What did you say?

What did you say?

Are you going to bark all day or

are you going to bite as well?

You want me to bite you eh?

Leave him, Major.

I'll pump so many bullets

into you that the next time...

...you press the trigger, the bullet

will come from some place else.

Why do you mess with this pimp?

Hey you whore! Whom

are you calling a pimp?

Why? Hasn't anyone called

you by your real name before?

Yes. I'm a pimp. Your

girl's pimp. What'll you do?

If anyone of you lifts your

hands again, then I'll shoot you.

Did you enjoy?

- Yes, I did.

Hey Mark! Leave it. He's crazy.

Major, are you taking sides

with him. - To hell with you all!

I played along with you all thinking

that the job will be done easily...

...I'll get some money... - And

then you and your girl will...

Shut up! Shut up!

First tell me, how did the

police come there? - They flew in.

They were called.

- By whom?

That's what I'm saying.

There's a traitor amidst us.

You.

- Why? Can't it be you?

How did he come here?

- I brought him.

Why? - Because he'll

tell us who's the traitor.

Since when is he here?

- Since I put him here.

Why did you need to

put up such an act?

You should've brought him directly.

Major, it's exciting if

there's a twist in the story.

He's asked us a

lot of questions.

Now it's our turn.

It'll be fun. It'll be fun.

I don't like this.

He's a policeman.

- I like it.

Because he's a policeman.

Mr. McNairy.

Why do I feel that you're

going to share a secret with me?

I told you that you had committed

a grave mistake by nabbing us.

Major, don't scare him

too much. He'll die.

Do you know English?

First class. I've spoken

English since childhood.

He speaks since childhood,

but no one understands.

But he'll understand.

Ask him how the

police reached there.

Tell... - Not you.

You'll take a lot of time.

You ask him.

How were the cops there?

How were the cops there?

Why isn't he speaking?

He must have

ulcers in his mouth.

Ask him now.

How did you know that

we're going to be there?

What did you say?

I asked him that how did he know

that we were going to loot a bank.

You didn't use the word

'bank' at all. - I meant...

You just say

whatever I can understand.

He's saying the same thing. - Major,

when did he speak about the bank?

No he didn't.

- He didn't?

Ajju, tell me something.

Be honest about it.

Who gave you the

passport to come here?

His mother.

She was working in the

passport office since childhood.

You ask him! You ask him!

Answer me.

- What did you say now?

Answer me.

- Answer me!

Give!

Give, it's English. Give.

Give!

Even I'll do it. C'mon! Give!

Give!

Speak or they'll kill you.

What did you say?

What's he

grumbling about! Ask him!

Don't get into my nerves.

Tell someone else to ask.

He'll answer only if

you ask, understood?

You guys are all dead. All dead.

What did he say?

- Nothing. - He said something.

He said that we are all dead...
