Serge assaults Appu and Shankar protects him by attacking Serge. Natasha also tells Serge that she doesn't love him and will never marry him. Serge then plays a trick during a school trip. He asks the students to burst balloons which sound like gunshots to Appu, and he panics and goes berserk. Appu is arrested by the police. Shankar is ordered to take Appu back to India in 2 days. Shankar asks for one more chance and trains Appu and demonstrates that he is not impacted by the sound of bursting balloons anymore. That night Adarsh infiltrates the circus to get his drugs. As he escapes (because Appu created a ruckus and attracted attention), he runs into Natasha and Shankar. Natasha identifies Adarsh as the Coolie who killed Shankar's father. Adarsh manages to escape. Serge gets curious about Appu's cage and finds drugs hidden in its base. Adarsh is also captured when he returns to circus as a clown to retrieve the drugs.
