straight as a poker. Isn't that Golu?

Out! Hee..

Come on.. come.. Let's go..

Mr. Goyal.. Can we leave?

Drop me off at Rajesh's place..

Why?

You're not going home?

Don't be stupid Golu..

No one knows about this..

not even Rajesh..

I just took the guns from him..

Come back and wash the car properly..

then go home.

And keep the keys with you..

Golu..

It's better if we make it look normal..

.. not be out all night..

You saw his eyes? While he was dying?

Golu.. he's dead..

Game over!

Here.. India's opening batsman..

Mr. No-balls..

Let's go..

Wait, stop the car..

Mr. Gol? Where are you off to?

He's going to change his pants again..

Why Golu?

Why did you do this?

You're screwed now

No.. no..

I'm not screwed..

Nothing's going to happen to me..

They'll hang you..

Hang me bull sh*t!

This is India.. on top of that,

this is UP.. nothing happens here..

By now your body would

be floating in the river..

You know all my friends?

All at high places..

my batch mates.. you

think they leave you?

Oh.. your llM types?

They're all busy raking it in..

and on foreign trips..

They'll probably give some interviews..

and some armchair advice..

.. but they will do nothing..

You should have

taken that five million..

Imagine what that would

have meant for your folks..

would have been better for them.. you..

And for me also..

Bloody fool!

You'll never be able to

digest this and live happy..

Had you listened to me and changed..

If you would have listened to me..

..you wouldn't have

changed from living to dead!

Actually, you didn't

love your parents enough..

You would have thought about them,

had you loved them at all..

What have you given them?

Death of their young son?

A life of emptiness? That's all?

Now go tom-tom your honesty around..

No matter what one does

to bring you guys up..

..you end up showing

your true selves after all!

Let's get rid of him now. The

police patrol must have eased off

Why are you stopping?

Let's get some tea..

Hey.. get out the way..

Move the car, can't you hear?

Sh*t.. police..

You fools gotten high

early morning or something?

Stop! Where are you going.. stop!

Stop.. wait!

Where are you running.. huh?

Who killed him?

They have confessed sir

It seems he had taken money from them..

..in the promise that

he'll license them a pump

..but then back tracked

It's Lakhimpur's case, sir..

Al right.. inform them..

And where is the murder weapon?

They've thrown it away..

Ok.. recover it..

Sir!

He's a very bad man sir.. He

refused to give back our money..

When we confronted him..

he started running away..

So we shot him sir..

Everybody stay back..

Sir, let me through..

I think I know him..

What?

Sir.. there's been an incident..

he was shot dead last night..

What?

I am so sorry, sir..

Hello?

Hello, lnspector Shukla here..

This is Saxena here, from Sitapur..

Tell me..

There's been a

murder in your area, sir..

Where's that?

- In your market..

In our market?

Yes, he was a sales officer..

worked in Bharat Oil..

Would've been around 26-27 years old..

please cross-check this..

A 26-27 year old sales officer was

killed in the middle of our market..

..and I should cross-check it?

Let me send you all the information..

Got it.. Thank you..

Meaning sir.. how is it possible

that someone gets murdered in the..

.. middle of our market

and we have no idea?

But still look into it..

Already did that sir..

..when no shots were fired here,

what will anyone hear?

murdered in our area just like that..

..and we don't do anything then..
