    Jamal is a contestant on the Indian version ofWho Wants to Be a Millionaire?. He has

    already won Rs.10, 000,000 and has made it to the final question, for Rs. 20,000,000,scheduled for the next day.He refers to Salim and himself as Athos and Porthos, and

    Latika as the third of the The Three Musketeers, the name of whom they do not learn. The

    brothers make a living, travelling on top of trains, selling goods, picking pockets, and

    cheating naive tourists at the Taj Mahal by pretending to be tour guides. Jamal eventually

    insists that they return to Mumbai since he wishes to locate Latika, which annoys Salim.

    Years later, Jamal has a position as a "chai wallah" (tea server) at a call centre. When he

    is asked to cover for a co-worker for a couple of minutes, he searches the database for

    Salim and Latika and succeeds in getting in touch with Salim, who has become a high-

    ranking lieutenant in Javed's organisation.Jamal confronts a regretful Salim on tense

    terms. Jamal asks him where Latika is.Jamal again loses contact with Latika when Javedmoves to another house outside of Mumbai. In another attempt to find Latika, Jamal tries

    out for the popular game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, because he knows she'll be

    watching. He makes it to the final question, despite the hostile attitude of the host who

    feeds Jamal a wrong answer during a break. At the end of the first day of the show, Jamal

    has one question left to win 20 million rupees, but the host calls the police and Jamal is

    taken into police custody, where he is tortured as the police attempt to learn how he, a

    simple "slumdog", could know the answers to so many questions.

    While watching a tape of the show, question by question Jamal tells his whole story,

    explaining how his life experiences coincidentally enabled him to know the answer to each

    question.

    At Javed's safehouse, Latika watches the news coverage of Jamal's miraculous run on

    the show. Salim gives Latika his phone and the keys to his car. He urges her to run

    away and to "forgive me for what I have done." Shortly after Latika has left, Salim fills the

    bathtub full of cash and sits in the tub, waiting for his death. The final question asked of

    Jamal is to Musketeers. When Jamal uses his last
