Where did she go?

Couldn't have gone far. She must be here somewhere.

This seems like such a bad idea now.

Let's go.

You sed my freaking day, Ashok.

How's that?

Running around in the freaking jungle. Haven't even had my dinner.

Let's check here.

That way.

Over there.

Further ahead.

Arjun, find me. Find me, Arjun.

Got you, you prick.

Satbir!

S! Arjun!

Meera, shoot!

Fauji! Satbir!

I'm going to pull it out.

Come on, baby!

You wanted us to spread out, didn't you?

Have a look now, old man!

And guess what? This one wasn't even a retard!

Shut up, all of you!

Squabbling here like monkeys while those two make merry!

They couldn't have gone too far.

I can't walk any more.

Just a little bit further.

There must be a village nearby. A police station, maybe.

We just need to get there.

Arjun, get up.

Come on, baby. Get up.

See, we're right there.

That's it. We're right there.

Arjun, baby.

I'm going to find help. I'll be back soon, I promise.

Arjun, look at me.

Promise me you'll wait here.

Say "Promise."

Promise!

Money...

Do you have any money?

Baby, your watch.

Take this.

Listen to me. Baby, listen to me.

If they come, you can scare them off with this, right?

Arjun, wake up! No sleeping!

Arjun, look at me.

Look at me.

Don't sleep. Keep looking at me.

Listen...

S the party. Let's go home and make mad love.

My lucky day, eh?

Nothing's going to happen to you.

I'll be back soon, I promise. Nothing's going to happen to you.

You'll stay right here. Say, "Promise."

Promise, baby, promise.

Nothing's going to happen to you, baby.

Meera...

Happy birthday!

Stop!

Can you please guide me to the police station?

Madam, what are you doing here so late at night?

This area isn't very safe.

What's the matter? Poor thing looked scared.

Who's there?

Open the door!

Hang on!

Please hurry up!

I'm coming.

If it's your drunk husband beating you again, I've told you I can't help with that.

Sir, I need help. My husband is injured.

What happened?

A group of people attacked us on the highway.

They stabbed him. He's bleeding very badly. Please come with me.

I'll call my boss.

It's ringing.

Yes, sir. There's a woman here, sir.

City type.

There's been some kind of incident, it seems.

Where have you come from?

Delhi.

Delhi.

No, Sir. She's from Delhi but the incident happened here...

...at the highway

Was it this side of the highway, or the other side?

Sir, please try and understand.

My husband and I were coming from Delhi. Some people attacked us on the highway.

My husband got stabbed...

I don't know. It's probably a case of honour killing.

They picked up a couple at a restaurant, killed them in front of us.

Why did you cut the call?

Go to the Basantpura police station.

But why?

This case concerns them, not us.

Sir, please try and understand. My husband is very badly hurt.

Please leave, madam. Go on...

Here, take this watch.

It's very expensive. At least two hundred thousand.

Madam, get out.

How can you do this? It's your duty to help us.

To hell with the duty. Just get out!

Go!

Go!

Get the hell out!

Was it you on the phone, madam?

Yes.

Yes, madam is with me.

We're driving down the back road now.

Stop arguing, Dhulichand. Just get to the railway tracks.

The forest side.

Yes.

Okay.

He means well, this Dhulichand. Please don't lodge a complaint.

He's a policeman. He should have helped.

Policemen aren't beyond all this. They're part of the same society.

He would be ostracized if they found out.

He has three sons. Who would give them brides?

There are hardly any girls here in the first place.

Never mind. Tell me, what's your caste?

Caste...

Err... Singh... Puri after marriage.

Inter-caste marriage...

Singh and Puri are surnames, madam.

I meant caste. Like...

Brahmin... Bania... Jat... Gujjar...

I don't know.

In that case, I doubt you'd know your 'gotra' (sub-caste).

That's the difference, madam.

Ask a 12-year old boy in the village.

He'll not only tell you his gotra, but also his neighbours.

You must have read Manu? He was a very learned man.

Just like Ambedkar, who framed India's Constitution.

Ambedkar's law says that all cars must drive on the left.

So that's what they all do.

If even one amongst them starts to drive on the right, there will be an accident.

Now take this couple's case, this Mukesh and Pinky.

They knew all the laws around here.

Still, they got married within the same gotra. Now isn't that wrong?

It's probably shocking for you, but...

...right where the last mall in the city ends?

That's where your rule of democracy and constitution ends as well.

How can the poor constitution reach where even water and electricity cannot?

Thank the caste system, madam. It keeps people divided.

Otherwise, we'd have a revolution here.

Which way from here?

I think we've come the wrong way.

Everything looks the same in the dark. I must have gotten confused...

No madam, I'm the one who messed up.

You never told me the couple's name, did you?

You should have listened to Dhulichand.

She'll get away!

Come on, come on, come on!

Quick, quick!

Give me a hand. Quick!

What happened?

Get out and start pushing!

It's done, it's done!

Come on, get in!

Come on.

The car flipped over.

Look around!

She must be here somewhere.

She must have gone in that direction. Go, check!

Is she there? - No.

What a bunch of losers. Can't find a freaking girl.

Did you find her? - No.

She can't have gone too far.

She must have gone that way.

Move fast!

Let's look on that side.

Come quick!

Strutting about like freaking studs...

Start the car quick!

Hey, Satbir!

Come quick! There she is, hanging up there!

There she is! Get her!

Get her!

Where do you think you're going?

She's climbed up already!

She's gone!

F you!

You b!

Go die, you b!

S you, b!

Hit her, hit her!

Bloody morons!

Get lost, you b.

Hey! Wait for me, you fools!

Freaking morons! Forgot about their own uncle in all the hurry.

The damn network is also not catching.

Listen...! Someone's at the door...

Who's there?

Who is it?

Please help me. There are some men after me.

My husband is hurt. I've been running all night.

There's a police station nearby. Why don't you go there?

The police are in it too.

There's a village close by. Go to the Chief there.

Yes.

Will you come with me?

Madam, we too are outsiders here.

Who's there?

Open up!

What's the matter?

Open the door!

What do you want?

Open this door!

Who's there?

Seems you've grown a pair, Bihari. Asking too many questions, huh?

Go, get me some water.

Forgive me, master. I wasn't feeling well.

The medicine made me sleepy, so took a while to get to the door.

You saw any woman around here?

No...

...who was it?

Running about like headless chickens.

What if I hadn't called you?

We went to the highway. Couldn't find her.

Calm down, idiots. Her husband's at the railway track. Let's just go there.

Anybody home?

Please open the door!

Anybody home?
