...meaning we are all dead...

All in Hindi means...

...everyone...

I don't find

anyone dead? Who's dead?

He says that all of

us are going to die.

Who'll kill us? Who!?

Who? Who!?

These guys are maniacs,

they'll kill you.

Tell us who's the

hack amongst us?

What are you going

on about for so long?

Let him ask what he's asking.

If you want to understand then

learn the alphabets first.

I want to know, Major.

I want to know what plans

they're cooking up in English.

Look! You're an illiterate fellow,

not the rest of us.

We can understand what he's saying.

Ok! I had forgotten

that you all are educated.

Andy, ask him!

If you want to save your life,

tell them what you know.

One of you... One of

you is an undercover cop.

What happened?

Why are you looking

at each others faces?

What happened? What did he say?

Major, what did he say?

Tell me! Tell me,

what did he say?

That one among us...

...is a policeman.

What the hell!

Is it a heartbeat or

the report of a gun?

What'll bring us

close to death?

C'mon take

control of your life...

Who knows when

we'll meet fortune?

I don't have peace,

comfort or tolerance.

This question

keeps haunting me.

Don't know when

death will come.

Whom it'll come for and

whom it'll take away. Death!

It's necessary for life.

Death!

What kind of a dark

compulsion is this?

Death! We stop when it comes.

It takes us away in its arms.

Special task operation.

You've to be undercover. Live with

them for a while. Like one of them.

Follow them. Get their deals, get

their contacts and keep informing us.

You've got to get them.

The Indians shouldn't sh*t here.

We knew about everything.

The guns, the cars, everything.

Tell us who that guy is.

I'll count till three.

One... two... three.

Shut up! Drawing a

gun for everything!

Why, Major? Is it you?

Yes, it could be me. What'll you do?

You'll shoot me? C'mon shoot! Shoot!

No. It can't be you.

Why? Why can't it be you?

This rascal will tell me!

No, Ajju! Have you gone mad?

Will you kill him?

Will you kill him?

He's a policeman! If you

kill him then the entire...

...police dept. will dig

you out and screw you.

We're already screwed.

This dog has already seen us.

What difference does that make?

Our job was to rob the bank, split

the booty and keep going. That's all!

The booty's here. And so are we.

Pick up your share

and keep moving.

We don't need to even see

each other's face again.

No need to see each

other's face again.

Pick up your booty and leave.

And forget that pimp...

...who screwed us.

No! None of us will leave

this place until I shoot him.

Ajju is right.

I'm in dire need

to leave this place.

Unless we find that scoundrel,

none of us will leave this place.

I'm with Ajju.

And so am I.

Major?

- Even me.

Ask me as well. Conduct

meetings, conduct conferences.

We've been conducting

conferences since we met.

Sit down. C'mon! Sit down.

- Andy! Cut it out!

I'll tell you what to do. We all

should collect the money and...

...accumulate it here.

And then nab that bastard!

Where's the money? - It's

there. Outside. In the car.

I left it on the way. - Where's

yours? - It's here. I'll bring it.

No! Not alone, Mark.

Ajju will come along.

Why? Don't you trust me?

What do we know, pal? You

can be a cop, I can be one.

He can be one. So,

two will go together.

I'll go along with you, Major.

- Ok. C'mon.

What about me? - Will your

father come to keep an eye on him?

What about me, huh!

Hero, what do you think?

Who's that scoundrel?

Look, I don't want to discuss

anything about this. Let's go.

C'mon! Tell me. - I told you I don't

want to discuss anything about this.

Ok, forget it. Tell me,

how's you girl?

Ajju, don't even talk about her.

Anyway, there's nothing

between us any longer.

Nothing!? This is good news.

- Why?

I had my eyes on your girl for a

long time. She dances so well, man!

When she dances, then

even Babura dances.

C'mon! Hit me!

What are you

laughing for? Hit me! C'mon!

There isn't anything between us.

If you love her so much

then why don't agree to it.

Look! The job's done. We

have the money as well.

Now, you go and take her out

of there and take her to India.

And then a dance bar... don't open...

don't open... I'm telling you.

Go get the money first.

O beloved! O beloved!

O beloved! O beloved!

O beloved! O beloved!

O beloved! O beloved!

O beloved! Love isn't enough...

O beloved! Love isn't enough...

...fate wants something more.

I'm stricken by destiny,

what do I do?

I'm stricken by destiny,

what do I do?

I'm stricken by destiny,

what do I do?

Who has control over destiny?

O beloved! O beloved!

O beloved! O beloved!

On one hand, love is forlorn...

On the other, the

body is crestfallen.

On one hand, love is forlorn...

On the other, the

body is crestfallen.

Both have been rendered

helpless such that there's...

...no one to whom I can complain.

O beloved!

O beloved, what

fate have I met?

My fate deserves

something better.

The heart shouldn't break,

it is the house of the Lord.

In your command my head bows.

The heart shouldn't break,

it is the house of the Lord.

In your command my head bows.

I'm not afraid of death.

I'm just afraid of

being separated from you.

O beloved!

O beloved! Love isn't enough...

...fate wants something more.

O beloved! O beloved!

O beloved! O beloved!

O beloved! O beloved!

O beloved! O beloved!

O beloved! O beloved!

O beloved! O beloved!

O beloved! O beloved!

O beloved! O beloved!

Whoa! Mark! Don't you know

you're not supposed to be here?

I've got to see her, man. -

Hey! It's the boss' orders.

You know how this works.

You know how this works, buddy?

This is a. 44 magnum

with hollow point slugs.

Goes in real small

comes out real big.

Can you handle

the damage, buddy?

So you can speak

English as well, eh?

Sometimes. Go and get your bird.

Ajju! I've seen smarter

guys but none better than you.

Mark!

Mark!

Please take me away from here. -

That's what I've come here for.

Lisa, today at 7pm

at L.A. airport...

...will you wait for me?

- Yeah.

Ok.

- Yes.

How did you come inside my club?

How did you come in?

- Through the door.

Then go out through the door.

Out! Out! Out!

Lisa! I had warned you that

I don't want any personal...

...love stories within my club.

And Lisa, this good for

nothing will give you nothing. Ok?

Time for the show, baby.

- No more shows.

Lisa, go now. I'll

meet you at 7pm.

Lisa! You leave my club

once and you can't come back.

She doesn't want to

come back. Shut up!

Bye! Take care.

- I'll take care of you soon.

Hey what about a Harry? - Hey

man! That's an old piece of sh*t.

This is the new babe.

Takes a man out...

...in one shot. I bet!

This is a heavy b*tch.

Like the one with

the heavy tits, man?

Shall we go, British?

- English, brother. - Sorry.

Let's move?

- Alright. - Come.

- Take your babe. - I don't leave home
