Navin is asleep on a sofa. The distant wail of a mourning woman shatter the peace. Navin shifts restlessly and binds his head with a pillow. After a brief struggle he gets out of bed and leaves the ward to follow the sound. He walks down the deserted corridor and finds Mannu around the corner, looking past a gate. NAVIN Has someone died? MANNU Her husband, poor guy, got fucked, man! NaVIN What happened? ManNU He got his appendix operated a month ago at some shady hospital. Got back to work in a couple of days... he's a laborer. He collapsed, yesterday, on site. His boss admitted him here. When they operated him again, they found a kidney missing. NAVIN What do you mean? MANNU When they opened him up for the appendix, they also flicked his kidney. NAVIN But, how? MANNU It happens all the time in those shady hospitals! Beyond the gate and down a flight of stairs, a woman weeps loudly while another consoles her. NAVIN Please go and ask her the date of the operation. MANNU What the hell, man? Look at the flight of stairs! NAVIN Please. MANNU Oh, man!
Mannu goes to investigate. Navin stays, transfixed by the woman's cries. Mannu arrives, panting up the stairs, on the other side of the gate. MannU (CONT'D) The 16th of last month. (belches) When was yours? naVIN On the 17th. A beat. Find out his blood group. MANNU (still panting) Again these stairs? Mannu goes down the stairs, speaks briefly with the woman who has been consoling the wife and plods back up the stairs. MANNU (CONT'D) (breathless) Same as yours. Mannu struggles to catch his breath. Navin walks away, slowly.
