Lock Page #4

---

You're that writer!

Weren't you in my rickshaw

this morning?

Yes, I was.

I forgot my bag in your rickshaw.

I saw it.

It contains all scrap paper, right?

Don't call it scrap. Today..

Okay, call it whatever you want!

But give it back to me.

You are behaving as if they

are lease papers of Taj Mahal.

Well, it is my year's hard work.

It's a movie script.

I saw it. I didn't understand..

But don't worry, I have kept it safe.

Under lock and key.

Very good. Thank you, my friend.

Please come with me and give me my story.

The lock will open after an hour.

Is it a lock or a time bomb

that it has a watch around it?

And it will open only after an hour!

I told you, I will give it to you.

You go and party in the meantime.

Well..

If you are broke

then take a party instead.

Hey!

"She used to sing praises of me

in front of her friends."

"Today she has forgotten me

after going back to that colorful world."

"The one who used

to lay flowers on my path.."

"She has thrown me out

of her life."

"The one who used

to ask me not to leave her.."

"Today she left me."

"She left me."

This is the case.

I have understood.

So, you will become a director.

- Yes.

I am going to Mumbai to become a director.

After I become a director

and receive an award

I will take your name on the stage.

Bhola, the rickshaw driver.

"She left me.."

"She left me."

What happened?

Something was there.

- What?

I guess, a snake.

The kind of place it is,

even a snake won't come here.

Anyway, I have met many like you

who love to waste their money and my time.

Please put it on silent mode.

Someone else is waiting for me.

It's 1:
30 a.m. Where is your guy?

Did he meet with an accident?

No, he cannot meet with an accident.

Why? Does an accident always

inform before happening?

Open the lock, I want to leave.

It is locked from outside.

I don't care.

Please.. Please talk softly.

Bhola will come and open the lock.

I know you are suffering a loss.

I will compensate for that as well.

If you have so much money

then hire me permanently.

You decent people are impossible.

I don't know why you have

a desire to act cheap.

Hello?

Please.. Please talk softly.

We'll meet tomorrow.

I don't think I will be free tonight.

It is a very busy night.

Bhola, there is a police checkpoint

right ahead.

Why do I need to worry?

Neither do I have a license nor do

I have the registration documents.

You are impossible!

You don't have the license

or the registration documents.

You are drunk too.

You still say that you don't

need to worry.

Even when I have everything,

I get scared when I see a policeman.

This is the problem with decent people.

You get scared of a police officer

even when you are in a car

fearing that you aren't wearing a helmet.

Get this straight. It's the month end.

They need to collect money

and give them to higher authorities.

Look for a chance and give Rs. 50

to the government.

And there, the story ends.

He is stopping us.

Let it stop! Let it stop!

- Stop..

It takes time

for the vehicle to stop, sir.

Is it a rickshaw or an airplane

that it will take so long to stop?

Come out.

Yes..

Blow in it.

Sir, I have nothing to hide from you.

I had around eight drinks,

he has had around five.

Soon, both of you will get

the same number of slaps from us.

Take them to the police station.

- Hello, excuse me.

It's not a problem.

I will solve the problem right away.

How?

Fees. Got it.

Hey.. It's Rs. 50.

Take them to the police station.

We will see them once

they are sober in the morning.

Sir, you used to take it before.

Have the rules changed?

Sir, I have an important work to do.

It is very important for both of you

to get beaten up as well.

Take them along.

- Sir..

It is very important for me to go.

- Let's go.

Listen to me.

Try to understand.

- Sir, please, Gill is..

I am a writer.

Please. Please, sir.

We made a mistake.

This rickshaw driver will get beaten up..

And you too.

Please forgive us, sir.

Consider yourself forgiven

as I still haven't beaten you to a pulp.

Sir, then you should let us go.

What have we done?

The SHO will come in the morning

and release you.

I don't have the authority

to release you both.

Go and sit over there.

Sir, I was saying that..

- Go and sit there.

Sir, I am requesting you..

Let us go.

Hello, Gill.

The cops have caught me for drunk driving.

I don't think they will

leave me before morning.

You find a way

to get out of there on your own.

Otherwise,

if people find out in the morning

that you had a girl in the shop

you won't be able to face anyone.

I think.. Hello?

I didn't bring my phone.

She keeps calling

and asking when I will be back.

She ruins the mood.

What are you doing?

It is locked from outside.

I will break the latch.

You are a strange man.

People can do anything to come to me.

While you're trying to do everything

to get away from me.

Hats off to you.

I could never think that

you are such kind of a person.

I made a mistake.

You made not one but two mistakes.

First one, you sent that girl and Gill

inside the shop and locked it.

Locking it is still fine,

they might be able to open it.

Secondly, you called up

at Gill's house and said everything.

Now who will save Gill?

Tell me.

I didn't remember

that Gill's phone was at home.

Gill might manage to get out of the shop

but he won't be able

to enter his house now.

Open it.

His daughter is of marriageable age

while he is busy indulging

in such disgusting acts at this age.

Save him.

If this happens

then that family man's life

will get ruined.

For all the deeds you have done,

you will have to bear the consequences.

No, my friend.

Find some solution.

Do you have any friend who can go there

at this hour and open the lock?

Call him up.

During such difficult times,

no friend turns up.

Everyone is just a spectator.

Instead of being embarrassed

in front of the public in the morning

it is better to seek a spectator's help.

Think about it.

Toti.

- Yes, boss.

The oil has spilled.

Didn't you close the lid properly

last night?

Clean it up.

- Okay, boss.

And get tea from Raju, two halves.

Quickly.

How many times have I told you

not to call anyone?

Your voice might be heard outside.

Why don't you understand?

What else do you want me to do here?

You don't do anything

and you don't even let me do anything.

Will the lock open on its own?

Police Station.

It's dawn.

How will we get them out?

First, let us get out of here.

Or they might send us back inside.

At this time, the market

will also be full of people.

They will be slandered

if I take them out now.

That is true.

Because this is the best thing about us.

We are ever ready to leave our work

to see people be slandered.

You think this is a joke?

My whole life is a joke.

I didn't even kill a fly

but I spent a night in prison.

It has been recorded in history

that Harpal Singh Chandok

went to prison for no reason at all.
