![]() He lies to a guard that he is the new dishwasher who has been hired by the household, and the guard lets him in. There, he leans through the gate and thinks he sees Latika. ![]() In the morning, Jamal follows Salim's car from a distance in a cab, all the way to Javed's housing complex. Before he goes, he prays, as Jamal watches, unseen, from the staircase. That night, Salim receives a call in the middle of the night and prepares to head out into the city with a revolver. "Where is Latika?" Jamal asks his friend, to which Salim responds, "She's long gone." Salim gets a call and tells Jamal to go to his place to stay. "And I am at the center of the center," brags Salim, telling Jamal that he works for the gangster from the slum they grew up in. Salim says that business is taking over India and that the country is at the center of the world. We see them sitting on the edge of the high rise later, looking out over the city. Salim makes excuses for why he did not keep in touch with Jamal, but Jamal yells at him and tells Salim that he will never forgive him. Salim greets him warmly, and for a moment Jamal fantasizes about throwing him over the side of the building, but instead just punches him. In a flashback, we see Jamal wandering into a construction site, a half-built high rise where he is meeting Salim. "Are you nervous?" Jamal asks the host, laughing, before the host hands over to Jamal a check and tells him he is richer than his bosses will ever be.
