Mahesh: I think it must be the driver.
Mahesh opens the door and finds that the driver is lying dead near the gate.
Within a moment, until Mahesh grabs his pistol, a bullet hits him.
He is lying on the floor and 2 men with arms enter the house. They shoot Daniel and bring the bodies in the living room.
They plant an explosive in the room before they leave and few moments later the house turns into flames and fire.
