Bhau
has a knife concealed in his walking stick. He starts slashing at RJ, but he
doesn't connect. The kung-fu madness goes on for a while as they smash lots of
cardboard furniture and candy glass. Bhau manages to get away when one of the
guards that had been shot regains consciousness long enough to cause a problem
for RJ. He makes it into the secret escape chute that Tech had installed and
begins taking the elevator down.
Midway down the shaft, the elevator stops. A dramatic sting on the soundtrack lets us know that this is not the floor on which Bhau was planning to get off. RJ appears in the open doorway several floors up. He calls Bhau's name, then grabs the cable with his bare hands and slides down onto the elevator. Oh come on!
RJ
lands on the roof of the elevator and smashes through it. In a
less-than-convincing fight, RJ pummels Bhau around the head and neck. Bhau
swings back and hits the mirror on the wall. If you look at his right hand, you
can see his hand is wrapped in a towel. The slow motion doesn't help make this
any less noticeable.
The fight goes on for quite a bit longer than it needs to. We cut to a parking garage where some more guards are lounging about enjoying life to the fullest one can while guarding a parking garage. They hear a gunshot and look concerned. They rush over to the elevator door with their guns at the ready. The doors open, and we see RJ's back is to them. He falls backwards and lies motionless on the ground. Bhau stands against the back wall of the elevator, also not moving. The guards go in for a closer look, kneeling over RJ's supine form. They call out to Bhau and ask if he's all right. RJ looks up at us and smiles, telling them that Bhau's dead! Then he shoots everyone. He might have hit some faces, but it happens kind of fast. As RJ leaves, Bhau's body finally falls down and lands on his face.
Over at the orphanage the guys Bhau sent to blow up the place are planting explosive charges at key structural locations so as to maximize the destructive force of the explosion. Well, actually that's not quite true. However, the fence and the rock they set them on will surely be destroyed, and everyone will have to move. Definitely.
As
the foreman for the project goes to push the plunger down to detonate the
charges, he is shot by RJ. He dives around and shoots a few other people as they
come to check it out. Murli and every child in the orphanage come running out
into the gunfight. (sigh) As they do so, two more goons get out of a Jeep and
toss a grenade at the children. RJ sees this and dives in front of them,
catching the grenade as he falls. He throws the grenade out into an open area
where it explodes in a giant fireball. Apparently this was supposed to be near
the guys that threw it initially, because they're gone now.
Murli looks at RJ with an odd expression. Fear, sadness, and thanks all rolled into one. As they share this moment, another jeep pulls up with a bunch of guys with guns. They open fire on the building causing the children to scatter and panic. RJ runs for cover in the nearby temple while many flowerpots are tragically destroyed behind him. RJ checks his magazine and sees that he is out of bullets. Oh no!
Chewte
gets out of the new Jeep with his cronies. He swears that RJ will not escape
this time! The RHM and all the other children from the orphanage form a human
wall in front of the temple and refuse to let the cops through. This scene
raised a question for me. The average Jeep holds four, maybe five people. So
where did the twenty uniformed policemen come from? Oh well.
Chewte looks mad (again) and tells them they need to get out of there. They tell the cops that they will give their lives to protect RJ.
