cheater wins this one easily. He and his associates
celebrate the victory, trying to provoke the calm gambler
Rajan and Iqbal are trying to figure out how is it that he
is cheating. Rajan tries to look into the mirror, if there’s
some reflection. He looks at Iqbal and moves his head to
say No.
Round 2 begins. The gambler looks at his cards, maintaing
his confident demeanor, but looks from the side of his
glasses at Rajan and Iqbal. His skepticism about the
detetectives rising.
Rajan and Iqbal then suspect a waiter who comes near the
gambling table. They follow the waiter but he enters the
kitchen straight away. Rajan and Iqbal do not have any
leads. The gambler loses another round.

The singers are jubilantly singing. The stripper diligiently

dancing. Rajan keeps staring at the dancer, as if he has
lost all purpose of coming here, and Iqbal is looking at one
of the dancers with mad fascination.

Another game played, and the gambler loses it again. His

skepticism rising and raging. The cheater tries to provoke
him again. The cheater looks around, and his eyes fall on
Rajan and Iqbal, he realises that these two men are not from
around, and might be upto something sinister. He whispers to
one of his aasitants. The assistant gets up and directs the
waiter to send drinks to Rajan and Iqbal. He also gives two
capsules to the waiter, to spike their drinks with.
Rajan and Iqbal both are offered a drink. Being the kind of
detectives they are, they are over pleased at being offerd
free drinks. The finish the drink in one gulp.
Another game starts. But something is happening to Rajan and
Iqbal. They are losing their balance, and the pub feels
revolving around them. Strobes of color come from all sides.
Iqbal falls down. When he is down on the ground he looks at
the donkey on which the cheater had come. He is nodding his
head. The donkey seems to be nodding his at something. This
looks a little starnge to him. He then looks at the table.
The donkey can see the gambler’s cards, and he is nodding at
his master who is playing his bet after the donkey gives him
signals.

Iqbal figures out that the donkey is involved in the

cheating. He signals Rajan that it’s the donkey. Rajan is
puzzled and confused. But he goes out and gets a female
donkey, and parks her bang opposite the male donkey. The
donkey looks at the female donkey. He can’t get his eyes of
the female donkey. The donkey looses his concentration and
