Peepli Live Page #7

Are you sure about this?

Yes.

Warehouse...

OK.

Sir, all the reporters have arrived.

We're getting late

for the press conference.

Call Salim.

l'm sure Nandita has got a lead.

l'm following her.

Faster.

Faster! They're on our backs.

Mr Salim is getting upset

about Natha not appearing.

Why isn't Gudda answering the phone?

Lethargic slob.

Choubey, all of you go to Peepli.

- Check what's up.

- OK, sir.

You guys are no good either.

Couldn't arrange for a light?

- We've got a petromax lamp.

- Then why haven't you lit it, moron?

Why haven't you lit the petromax?

- Where's the oil?

- Haven't put the oil in, motherfuckers?

Stop!

Jugan, stay inside.

- You left Natha unguarded?

- He won't run away.

- Morons! Where is Natha?

- ln there.

(Nandita ) Don't argue with me.

Just come on. l know this is it.

This is it.

We just have to find that damn Rakesh.

Where the hell is he?

( Car door slams )

Deepak...

Sir, we've arrived.

l'll keep you informed.

lt's so dark, l can't see anything.

- Why didn't you bring a torch?

- Sir, l'm new on the job.

You should be transferred back.

Where's he?

Let's check in here.

- Hurry up!

- Yes, sir, l'm lighting it.

Faster!

Sir, where are you ? l've arrived.

What an idiot this B.D.O. is.

D.M.? What is he doing here?

Roll camera.

D.M. sir, why are you here?

Stop spilling it.

You know exactly what is going on.

Who is on the inside here?

lnterviewing on the sly!

What the hell are you doing here?

You left the press conference

to report on the sly?

Will you stop following me and let me

do my job and go find your damn story?

Sir? Sir?

(Nandita ) The Chief Minister had called

for a conference to be held at 9pm.

An accident took place.

Yes, we have confirmed reports

that indeed there was an accident

and yes, there has been one casualty.

Now, news has been trickling in

that Natha could've been at that site.

We don't have any official confirmation

on this as of yet.

We are still trying to ascertain...

(Deepak) lt is now confirmed

that the burnt body

is of Natha Das Manekpuri.

Yes, Natha is dead.

How ironic that Natha died

in an accident.

Neither suicide, nor murder.

Fate denied this poor soul even

his last wish to commit suicide.

A resilient farmer is now dead.

A farmer who was alive is now dead.

This night will weigh heavily on lndia.

A dark night indeed for lndia.

Hurry up. The village picnic is over.

Let's move.

l have a simple rule.

- Stretch a story only so far.

- Of course.

- lt's so easy to be sensational.

- Sir, is truly different.

- Have you seen Rakesh anywhere?

- No.

He's not answering his phone...

Let's go.

What happened today?

Nothing.

Why?

You said everything would be sorted

after the post-mortem report.

Yes...

...but now they say...

...it was an accident, not a suicide.

So no compensation.

What about the Natha Card?

We don't have

a Below Poverty Line card.

To prove we're poor

the government gives a B.P.L. card.

We need that for a Natha card.

Three months have gone by in all this.

He lost his life...

...and you couldn't even manage

a poverty card.
