However, all local hotels refuse to offer a room on hourly basis. Bhola comes up with the idea that they do it in Gill's shop, which is right in front of Gill's house and has a bed inside. Gill and the street girl enter the shop, and Bhola locks it from outside so that nobody can enter. He also promise that he will come back after one hour to open it. Bhola goes to a restaurant to eat, where he meets Harpal. Harpal asks Bhola to return his bag, but Bhola says the bag is with Gill and he can only get it after one hour.

Police tell them they will not be released until morning. Bhola becomes mad after realizing there will be problem for Gill if he cannot open the shop for them on time, so he calls Gill to tell him get out of the shop by their own.
