Singh Mansion.
KS: Amma, hum jaa rahe hain. Aap Babita madam ke saath aa jaana thane.
PJ: Accha theek hain. Dhyan rakhna apna. (Handling her tiffin)
KS: Chaand par nahi jaa rahe hain, Vikas ji ko lene jaa rahe hain bas. (Adjusting her nameplate)
BS: Woh khud bhi toh aa sakte hain na?
KS: Ji, lekin DSP sir ka order hain.
BS (nods): Koi baat nahi. Haseena madam bhi jaa rahi hain?
KS: Ji, Woh hume pick karne aati hi hongi. Hum saath mein Jeep se jaayenge.
.
.
.
HM: Hum aa gaye. (Entering the house)
PJ, BS and KS: Jai Hind Maddam Sir!
HM: Jai Hind. (With a smile)
Chaliye Karishma Singh chalte hain.
KS: Ji Maddam Sir. (Picking her Cap from side table)
PJ: Aaiye Nashta kar lijiye Maddam sir.
HM: Nahi Pushpa ji, thank you lekin hum ghar se kha kar aaye hain aur hume already late ho raha hain.
PJ: Theek hain. Sambhal ke jaana aap dono.
Haseena and Karishma nods.
BS: Thane mein milte hain.
PJ and BS: Jai Hind.
HM-KS: Jai Hind. (Leaves)
...
Jeep
HM: Bas, yaha se right lijiye Karishma Singh. (Seeing GPS on her mobile)
Karishma takes a right turn and they reached their destination.
KS: Lijiye aa gaya inka bangla.
(Stopping the car, seeing Major's House Name plate)
HM: Aree haan, sorry hum aapko batana bhul gaye. Karan sir aaj hi Shimla gaye hain kisi kaam se, aur Vikas iss sheher se anjaan hain toh DSP sir ne hume inki help karne ke Orders diye hain. (Raising her eyebrows)
KS: Aisa lag raha hain, SI kam hum PA ban gaye hain inke. (Getting little irritated)
HM: Hmm, hum jaante hain aapko yeh sab nahi pasand lekin karna toh padhega...aaiye (calming her)
KS: Ji.
...
Tingg tongg!!
.
.
.
A man in his 60's slowly opens the door.
Man: Kahiye, kisse milna hain aapko?
HM: Ji hum hain SHO Haseena Mallik aur yeh hain SI Karishma Singh. Hume Vikas Gupta ke protection ki duty di gayi hain.
Aap unhe bula sakte hain please.
VG: "Aapne bulaya aur hum chale aaye". (Singing)
...
A Boy in his late 20's, wearing T-shirt and jeans, polished shoes and with a gentle smile enters the hall...
...
VG: Jai Hind. Aap MPT se hain right?
HM: Ji. (Smiles)
KS: Aapko Jai Hind bolne ki zarurat nahi hain, aap civilian hain toh...
VG: (Interrupting KS) Ek Desh bhakt ko Jai Hind bolne ke liye, hume nahi lagta koi rule hain?
KS: Aap bhi Karan sir jaise hi vichar rakhte hain. Accha laga aapse milkar. (With a smile)
VG: Same here. (Forwarding his hand for a handshake)
Karishma shakehands.
VG: Aur aapse milke bhi Haseena madam. (Again forwarding his hand for a handshake)
HM: Hume bhi. (Gently smiles)
Haseena Shakehands too.
.
.
HM: Aap ready hain, Thane jaane ke liye?
VG: Ji...ji bas main 2 minute mein aaya.
HM-KS nods.
He went upstairs.
...
KS: Lag toh accha insaan raha hain Maddam sir. (Whispering)
HM: Haan hume bhi. Major bhi toh itne acche hain. (Raising her eyebrows)
KS: Sahi kaha aapne. (Seeing the huge villa)
HM: Warna badtameez hota toh aapse pit jaata na. Bach gaye woh.
Karishma glares and Haseena had a little laugh seeing her cute angry expressions.
...
VG arrives
VG: Chaliye madam, Chalte hain. (Excitedly)
KS: Ji aaiye.
The trio leaves.
...
Jeep
Karishma was driving, Vikas was sitting next to her and Haseena was at the backseat.
VG: Waise, aap logo ke thane mein koi male officer nahi hain?
KS: Hain na, Cheetah Chaturvedi, Women Psychology Specialist. (Moving steering wheel towards left)
VG: Chalo koi toh saathi milla, warna mujhe thoda awkward feel hota. (Being happy)
HM: Fir toh, Thane mein Billu, Iqbal aur Badnaam bhi hain aapke group mein add hone.
VG: Aree wah, kaafi mazza aayega fir toh.
Kab pahuch rahe hain hum Karishma madam?
KS: Bas aa hi gaye. 5 minute aur...
VG: Okay. (Seeing his wrist watch)
...
MPT
Everyone was busy with their work, Pushpa ji went to have her 3rd cup of tea.
BS: Santosh, humne tumhe kal jo file laane kahi thi woh abhi tak milli nahi hume?
SS: (coming near BS's desk) Maine toh vahi rakhi thi madam, kaha gayi? (Checking the drawers)
BS: Dhyaan se dekho shayad tum wapas leke gayi ho. (Searching in the bundle of files, kept on her desk)
SS: Nahi madam vahi....
Her eyes went towards Billu Niwas and she says,
SS: Voh rahi file madam, Billu ji raat ko isse macchar maar rahe honge aur fir pillow banake soo gaye.
BS: Yeh Billu ke alag naatak hain.
.
.
.
Went near Billu Niwas,
BS: Billu utho (sternly)
BJ is in deep slumber.
.
.
.
CC: Uth Jaa re Kumbkaran ka chahere bhai, warna aaj tu uthne laayak nahi bachega. (Going inside the jail, and tapping Billu)
BS: Santu, chalao apni buddhi aur uthao isse. (Calmly)
...
Both Cheetah and Santu looked shockingly at BS.
...
BS: Jaldhi karo Santu.
SS: Ji...ahhh...haan idea! (And she runs)
After 2 minutes.
.
.
.
CC and BS were busy arranging files when billu shouts
BJ: Maaaaaaaa (in his usual style)
...
Cheetah and Babita ji looked behind to find Billu drained in water, rubbing his forehead, and Santu holding a bucket and mug.
It took less than a minute for both of them to realise what could have happened.
...
SS: (coming out of Billu Niwas) Utha diya madam. (Proudly smiling on her intelligence)
CC: Ufff yeh Intelligent Maasumiyat Santu ji.
Aapne kya jabardast idea lagaya hain iss sotlu ko uthane mein.
SS: Sotlu? Yeh kya hota hain Cheete?
CC: Jo rota hain usse rotlu kehete hain na, toh humne socha jo sota hain usse sotlu kahe.
SS: Hmm, logic toh hain!
BS was silently waiting for their talks to end but she suddenly realises...
BS: Santosh paani mein file bhi toh gili (wet) hui hogi. (In a tensed voice)
SS: Madam, aap Santosh Sharma ke hote hue kaise chinta kar rahi hain?!
Maine already file Billu ji ke sar ke waha se nikaal li thi.
BJ: Aur meri neend bhi toh khul gayi thi...fir mujh pe paani kyun daala?
(Coming out of Billu Niwas, rubbing his back head)
SS: Haan toh voh aapki galti hain Billu ji, main toh itni dur se jo paani laayi usse waste thodi hone dungi...
BJ: Baap re, Aee Nithalle abhi bhi waqt hain soch le. (Raising his eyebrows)
CC: Tum jaake, yeh bheege raakshas se pehele wale raakshas ban jaao fir dekhte hain tumko.
BS: Hogaya. Chalo kaam pe lago.
Santosh!
SS: Ji madam
BS: Agli baar bina gila kare uthana, theek hain? (Calmly)
SS: Okay madam. (Innocently smiling)
BS leaves
.
.
.
CC: Yeh Babita madam iss baar kitna kam ghussa kar rahi hain...dekha aapne Santu ji.
SS: Vahi toh pichli baar toh har baat pe seeti bajati thi...
BS: Santu, laake do na hume file. (Shouting from gym room)
SS: Aayi madam. (She quickly goes with file)
Billu goes in washroom whereas Cheetah decides to complete his untouched files.
....
Jeep
HM: Waise aap London se wapas yaha kyun aaye?
VG: Jahaaj ka panchi, wapas Jahaaj pe hi toh aata hain na madam. (Seeing Haseena from front mirror)
HM: Baatein acchi kar lete hain aap.
India aane ka koi khaas maksad?
...
Karishma watches Haseena questioning weirdly.
Vikas wasn't able to understand the reason behind Haseena's this question.
...
VG: Maaf kijiye hum kuch samjhe nahi?
HM: Aree, aap log galat samjh rahe hain.
(On finding Karishma and Vikas looking at her doubtfully)
HM: Humare kehene ka matlab hain India aake aap apna business complete kar sakte the, UPSC dene ka decision kyun liya?
KS: Accha aap aise aa rahi thi, hume toh dara hi diya tha Maddam Sir aapne.
VG: Mujhe bhi. (Sighing)
Woh business mein kuch khaas mazaa nahi aaya, toh socha papa jaise, iss field mein desh ke kuch kaam aau.
Haseena nods with a smile.
KS: Aa gaya thana.
(Taking a final right turn)
The trio heads towards MPT...
