Zanjeer Page #2

Prem. -Yes, sir.

Start the investigation.

'The Oil Mafia makes

billions every year..'

'..by stealing oil.'

'Many recognised people

in the state are aware of this.'

'But only one person

dared to voice against it.'

'District Collector Prakash Sathe.'

'The 1994 IAS Batch Topper.'

'He could've taken his

share and made millions.'

'Instead,

he took the responsibility.'

'..of collecting evidence against.'

'..the biggest nexus in the country.'

'And this honest officer's case..'

'..has been handed to a man..'

'..who never spent more than

a month in a single police station.

'Is it a conspiracy, or the incapability

of the government machinery?'

'Or maybe ACP Vijay Khanna's..'

'..been handed this

case intentionally.'

'..so that, he's transferred

even before its solved..'

'..and it never sees an outcome.'

- Sir's lucky.

- Why?

He won't have to publish

a photo in the matrimonial column.

- How?

- See.

This photo will get him

lots of wedding proposals.

No. They won't.

"On their wedding night"

sir will say to his wife,

"Shall I lock you up?"

Sir!

Did you find out

who called control room?

No, sir. Sorry, sir.

If I don't get that

information by three..

Then the next second you

two will be out of this station.

Now move.

Jay Dev.

Yes, even I found them expensive.

Yes really.

Look. These are nice.

If you had Googled

for this article as well..

"Then you wouldn't

be writing this bullst."

We print stories.

We don't cook them.

Save that crap for your

newspaper's catch-line.

Let me tell you something.

I've done a lot amidst

my 17 transfers.

But you don't have

the guts to print them.

Because they aren't stories,

they're the truth.

Your eyes are sore and so are mine.

But the difference is..

"...I spent the night

scanning police files"

while you were drinking

free liquor at some Page 3 party.

This is 'Work' and that is 'Hangover'.

In 15 days, you will change

every line of this article.

It's a challenge.

Do you know what 'challenge' means?

Look it up on Google.

JD. You didn't say a word!

He's got substance.

ACP Vijay Khanna.

I'm going to bet on you.

Prem. -Yes, sir.

Who is Sher Khan?

Just a car dealer, sir.

In detail.

He buys and sells imported cars.

I rn ported buying..

Then why is there an FIR against him?

- Go call him.

- Sir.

Sher Khan's got no

connection with this case.

Prem.

Sure?

Okay, sir.

I want to sell it.

How much will I get?

Seven years!

- Do you watch Discovery Channel?

- Yes.

A guy like me buys a car like this,

that's got blood stains.

And thinks it'll be alright.

He goes home.

Switches on his television.

And watches Discovery.

The police are hysterically

looking for a man.

"The door-bell rings

in the television"

and in that guy's apartment,

simultaneously.

He opens the door and sees the police.

I'm not interested in

being featured on Discovery.

Why are you scared of the police?

You buy and sell jacked cars.

Sher Khan follows a code

in his illegal business as well.

If you don't want blood stains on

the other side of the car, get lost!

- Salaam, Mr. Khan.

- Prem. How are you?

Just the usual.

The new ACP's here.

- Let's go meet him?

- Huh?

Yes. Let's go.

Salaam, ACP sir.

You won't sit down

until I tell you too!

This is a police station,

not your home!

It's my decency that

you're still alive.

Otherwise your body would

be lying here. - Just shut up!

Don't scream, ACP.

Otherwise you will get a sore throat.

And sound really weird

while giving orders.

Even a watchman considers himself

a commissioner in his uniform.

You can interrogate me.

Arrest me by all means.

But let go of my collar.

Prem. -Yes, sir.

- Show him out.

- No need.

ACP sir, you're new here.

But, I am a veteran here.

Good bye!

He needs a cold drink

to cool down, not tea.

Bring him a cold drink.

Sir. Sir. I've got it.

The call girl did it.

Call girl?

I mean a girl called, sir.

- Name and address?

- That too.

You didn't say that, sir.

Sorry, sir.

He's such a pain in the neck.

What happened?

I'm going to tell my wife..

To bake buns on his hot head.

It'll be perfect.

His temper is just effete.

Sher Khan left him speechless.

Nice. But not my size.

Neither this ...nor you.

Khan's busy. Call tomorrow.

Sher Khan. I don't shake hands

with criminals. Only handcuff them.

Amar. Did you find out anything?

Sir. The informer's

staying at Park Hotel.

She is an NRI. Must have

called from a local SIM card.

Let's go.

Sir. Room no. 505.

- Sub Inspector Prem Patil.

- Get out!

I know you're imposters!

Madam. We're the police.

See, two stars, the cap, belt"

I said get out!

How dare you?

You don't fool me

with these fake uniforms.

I know. I know everything.

Just get out.

Will you just listen to me?

Who made you the hotel manager?

There's a 'Do Not Disturb'

board on the door, how..

Will you just shut up!

I am ACP Vijay Khanna.

That means Assistant

Commissioner of Police.

He's our senior officer.

Show me your badge.

Show it.

This is not a badge.

Badge! Show me your badge!

Listen to me, miss.

This isn't America.

Will you just put

your knife down? Now!

Show me your ID again.

How many times do you bathe in a day?

Sorry, sir. I thought she's nervous...

Ms. Mala.

What did you see that day?

I saw nothing.

Then why call the police?

I didn't call the police.

These are your call details.

The Sim-card's

registered in your name.

You think we work in 40's?

Papa had warned me.

He told me don't go to India.

India's a dangerous country.

But no, I was stubborn.

Facebook friend's wedding.

Go on, now are you

having fun at the wedding?

My flight leaves day after tomorrow.

If I leave early, papa's worried.

If I don't, then I'm worried.

I haven't stepped out of

this hotel room for two days.

First I couldn't sleep due to jetlag.

Now, I couldn't sleep due to fear.

I'm so scared that I haven't called..

"Housekeeping or room service."

Unnecessarily I called

the cops as well.

And now you've come to harass me.

Since morning eating apples,

I've gone bananas.

- Look..

- I don't want to see anything.

I've seen enough.

Watching Hindi Films I

thought India's a lovey-dovey.

"Song and dance country,

which it clearly is not."

Can you identify the killer?

I cannot identify anyone.

You're a witness.

I am a simple NRI girl.

That came to India

to attend a wedding.

And will return to New

York day after tomorrow.

Now please, just leave me alone.

Papa.

- Hello.

- Excuse me.

- Hello, papa.

- Listen to me..

How are you-Papa?

Bring her in half an hour?

Okay, sir.

I told you everything.

But I'm still being

treated like criminals.

Why are you trying

to add to my problems?

What's your problem?

Are your problems

bigger than his wife's?

Are your problems

bigger than his son's?

I thought being a woman

you would have a heart.

You disgust me.

Just get out before I throw you out.

Now!

Jai Hind, sir!

- Salve.

- Sir.
