without this, man. Take care, man.

Everyone went with a partner.

Now sit. Police! Police!

I'm the cop.

And you're the captive.

So lets begin

where it all started.

Where's the truck?

Tell me, who's the policeman?

Who's the cop?

The money is kept at

the back. What do we do?

You had said... - Look, Andy. I've never

been dishonest throughout my life.

You know what kind of

people we're working with.

One's a cop, and two are crazy...

Why should we go back? Let's

split the booty here itself.

No. - Andy, you're

talking like a fool.

I know all about you.

You've a wife who doesn't want to live

with you. A child whom you can't meet.

Because you don't have money.

Think about it. Such an opportunity

won't knock at your door again.

You can put your life together again.

No, Major.

I have a wife who's very ill.

You do whatever you want,

I won't tell anyone.

No one knows how

much money we've stolen.

No one has counted it yet.

What difference will it make

if you take a few bundles out of it?

You're very straightforward

like me. You can't be an informer.

Major, you're testing...

Major!

What's this?

Maybe we won't return alive

from the place we're headed to.

At least this will

be of use to someone.

The job got

successfully completed.

Those people were very pleased. I'll

book our airline ticket on the way.

I'll be back...

O Lord, give me back my love.

Who'll stand by me

if not my companion?

I asked you something

that belonged to me...

Or did I ask for

something I didn't own.

Or did I ask for

something I didn't own.

Let her die! Let her die!

Let her die as my own. I

ask you for your godliness.

I ask you for your godliness.

I ask you for your godliness.

I ask you for your godliness.

I ask you for your godliness.

You're hanging!

You're hanging.

Tell me who's the cop.

I give you three chances.

Tell me, who's the cop.

One.

Two.

Go to hell.

Three.

Who killed him?

I did.

Why?

Hadn't I killed him then

he would've killed that cop.

So you killed him?

The one with whom

you fooled the world...

...today you killed that

fellow himself.

What could I've done? He

had hung him like a donkey.

That guy was shouting and

Bali was laughing like mad men.

How can we kill a policeman?

So you killed him in order

to save this guy's life?

Who said we can't kill a cop?

Look, we kill a cop

like this. Understood?

We kill a cop like this.

Ajju! C'mon!

What's this? What happened?

Who killed him?

I killed him.

- Why?

Because he killed Bali.

Who killed Bali?

He did.

How many times do I

explain to you, man?

He had gone mad. Not

gone mad, he was mad.

He was planning to kill everyone

and escape with all the booty.

You love all of us so much

that you killed your companion.

Either it's written all

over my face that I'm a fool.

Or you're so foolish to

think that I'm a fool.

Just a minute.

Look, Mac won't lie.

It's true that

Bali had gone mad.

He had spoken of escaping

with the booty, even to me.

Bali was mad, Major.

But he wasn't a police informer.

He wanted to kill a policeman,

not save him.

Who tried to save

the cop? He did.

Then who's the rat? Bali or Mac?

He saved himself not the cop.

Major why are you always

taking sides with him?

Is there always something

happening between you and him?

C'mon, Major.

I know that you're not that rat.

But neither is Ajju nor me.

And Andy has been a straight

guy right from the beginning.

The one remaining is this guy.

Listen to me.

He took the bullet meant

for me and saved my life.

Had he been a policeman...

...then why would he have done so?

- It could've been an accident.

Major, why do you forget

that he's been with us...

...just for the past six months.

Who knew about him before that?

Neither did I know

him nor did you?

I'm telling you he isn't a cop.

Bali was mad but he isn't a cop.

Bali was mad, Major.

But he can never think of

stealing someone's share.

If he had wanted to shoot,

then he could've shot Bali on his leg.

And then he

could've waited for us.

But no, he was only

worried about this dog.

He wasn't worried about Bal.

I've been telling from the

beginning to split...

...the booty and keep moving your

own way. One's already gone!

Are you waiting for

the rest of us to die?

C'mon!

Do we leave the one who

helped the police reach us?

Had I been a cop, then wouldn't

I've said that Bali's a cop...

...and that that's the

reason I shot him.

Then I would've torn

you to shreds, rascal!

Bali hated policemen as

much as he hated his father.

Andy is right.

Let's take our money

and move from here.

I won't leave

while this guy's alive.

This guy has to die.

Look, Ajju.

Today, neither am

I going anywhere...

...nor is anyone waiting for me.

I couldn't save my wife.

I couldn't fulfill the

promise that I made to her.

I won't let him die.

Ok?

So why don't you

just drop the gun?

C'mon! Drop the gun!

Drop it!

Sorry, Major. But Ajju is right.

Drop your gun.

I said drop your gun, Major.

Who asked you to speak in between?

This matter is between Ajju and

Major. Stay out of it, man.

Shut up!

Drop your guns!

You're trying to

kill the wrong person.

I'm not going to stop. - That too for

that rogue. - Lower your guns.

Save yourself, Major.

Major, Ajju is right. Major!

Drop your guns, Major!

Major, he's dead!

Mac!

Sorry, buddy.

I couldn't save you.

I'm sorry, Major.

I was just doing my duty.

I was only doing my duty.

Major...

Major, I had told you.

I couldn't gather the

courage to look into Major's eyes.

I just closed my eyes

and waited for death.

I didn't come to know

when it came and went by.

Ajju used to say that one day or the

other, all of us have to go to hell.

Even I'm going there.

I know that the rest of them

would be waiting for me there.

They'll ask me why

I did such a thing.

I don't know

what I'll tell them.

I hadn't thought that

fate would bring me here.

On reaching the goal,

we would lose our lives.

No one had thought

that before coming here...

...joy would leave us.

What had we thought

and what happened?

We're leaving today,

telling this world...

Oh what happened, Oh God?

Oh what happened, Oh God?

Oh what happened, Oh God!

Oh what happened, Oh God!

Was it your fault or mine?

Was it your pride or mine?

O God, I wouldn't

have been so bad...

...hadn't you

been so heartless.

Just tell me, what

did you get by this?

By laying these thorns

of sorrow in my path.

Oh what happened, Oh God!

Oh what happened, Oh God!

Oh what happened, Oh God!

Oh what happened, Oh God!

Los Angeles, 12th of May, 2000.

Where we six rogues first met.

We had thought that we

would win over the world...

...but we got screwed instead.
