01x04 - The Audition

[bunniefuu]

Hey...

What are you making?
- Chocolate cake. I am gonna taste it.

Nooo...

It's nice.
- No.

Stop it.
- Okay.

Okay.

Where's Princess?
- Sleeping.

Kabir! Kabir!

What happened?

Is it done?
- Short circuit. Huh....

I told you, let's order a cake from outside.
- No.

Jai Hind[Salutations], sir.
- Jai Hind[Salutations].

When were you last
in Baramati [a city]?

I just got back yesterday.

Actually... I was planning
on settling down there.

But when I heard you're
getting posted in this branch, I....

Here... for this pickle.

There's no need for this, sir.

Keep it!
- You're embarrassing me, sir.

Take it, Malwankar...

...otherwise it will
look like you're bribing me.

Keep it.

There were three charges against you.
- Sir.

Get this, Malwankar.

If you want to play by your rules...

...you should pick
the people you want to play with.

Because you are from my hometown...

...both, I and our hometown...

...will be judged by what you do.

Go!
- Sir!

Something's definitely out of place.

The new boss seems a bit odd.

He's a vegan and a teetotaler.

I can't figure this
one out just yet...

...but we must find
out what's going on.

Speak softly, sir.

These walls have ears.

What the....

You see... from today
I am going to be a good boy.

What do you say?

The monitor of the class.

Behave yourself, huh?

Or kneel down.

Prakash, the CCTV from Rahul's....

Sir.

Sir....

Sit.

Sir, may I?
- Come in.

Sir, why is Malwankar back here?
- Come in, Kabir.

Sit.

What's our job, Kabir?

To enforce law and order.
- Exactly!

But even with abundant resources,
we fail to do our job.

To curb crime.

Do you know why?

Sir, bureaucratic hurdles.
- Bullshit!

You see, Kabir, if you are
unable to clean up the garbage...

...you should try
cleaning the mop first.

My job here is not
to clear the garbage.

I'm sure you guys
can do that very well.

But... who's going
to keep you guys clean?

Malwankar's just the start.

Eventually,
I'll clean up this entire mess.

Neat and clean.

Kabir...

The recovery in Malwankar's
case should've been 1.2 million.

But you only deposited half of that.

Deposit the rest soon... with
a detailed report.

- Sir.

Last night I took Josh...

...one step closer
to a new lease on life.

I'm sure you know that.

And action.

Hi, my name is Anita Sahani.

I don't need to listen
to your nonsense!

My mobile number is 986721...

And I've got nothing
to prove to you, either!

Understand?

I have done theatre. I have
done serious plays as well as comedy.

I can't take this anymore!

I stand 5 feet 2 inches tall,
and these are my profiles.

Works for you?

"There's no way I can express
this love in mere words!

The fire raging in this heart..."

Bye, Priyanka.

- All the best.
- Thank you.

What does this dialogue mean, pal?

Yeah, Dad.

Why don't you guys come
down for a couple of weeks?

Tina's gone out of town for a sh**t.

It doesn't work like that.

You don't just directly land
a film opposite Shah Rukh Khan!

These days,
there are so many opportunities.

Web-series, daily soaps....

I'm sure I'll get something.

Tell Mom to call me in the evening.

Okay.

Okay, bye-bye.

Thank you so much, sir.

You're the man!

See you... bye.
- Thank you so much, sir. Thank you.

He's the next big thing.
Watch out for him.

And trust me... you're Maya.

That's it.

Do you want me to prepare something?
- Just be yourself.

Okay, just play it subtle.

Tomorrow my office
will call you about...

...the location and sh**t timings.
- Okay. - Okay.

Do you want me to bring something?

It's your solo audition tomorrow.

Just bring your best.

Okay, take care.
- See you tomorrow.

Bye.
- Bye.

Don't party tonight.
- Yeah.

Can't be done.

I've no time or dates to spare, sir.

Sir...

Firoz, wait up.

Yeah... I'll call you later.

Yeah, done. Firoz.

Hey, buddy.
- How are you?

What about my casting?
- Leave that to me.

I will get it done soon.

Has anybody seen my phone?

Has anybody taken my phone?

Hi.

Partho.

Gavin sir sent me.
- Oh yeah...

Sorry, I've never
seen you in the office.

Actually, no one has.

I've joined office
only three days ago.

I'm also slightly nervous.

Would you prefer rehearsing here, or...
- No.

Please come in.

Here's your copy, and this one's mine.

Why don't you go through your lines?
- Okay.

What happened?

This story is quite relatable.

In fact, it reads like it's my story.
- Mine too.

Well, everyone comes
to Mumbai to become an actor.

And eventually ends up becoming an
assistant director, or a producer or a director.

So, even you came
here to become an actor?

Yeah... long story.

So... why don't you
check your lines...

...and see if they are okay.
- Okay.

"I came to Mumbai with the
dreams of becoming an actress."

"I always believed that... that"...

"...the amount of success one gets is equal
to the amount of hard work put in."

Sorry....

Can I improvise?

I can't make that decision.

You know what,
why don't you read those lines once...

...and we'll record it on your phone.

And after that,
we will send it to Gavin sir.

Let's show it to
him and get his opinion.

Shall we record?
- Okay....

Anita, how about we rehearse
this once before we record it?

One rehearsal to get into the flow.
- Okay.

Ready.

Should I look here and speak?

Yes.

Okay.

"3 years ago, I came
here to become an actress."

Sorry....

Mumbai....
- Yeah.

You can do it again.

"When I came here, I believed"....

"I believed"....

Sorry... "talent"... yeah.
Okay.

"3 years ago, I came to Mumbai
to become an actress then"....

Sorry, I know it, I know it.

You know what, Anita.

Your expressions are perfect.

I guess you're having trouble
memorizing the lines. - Yeah.

Just give me a minute.
- I have an option for you.

Shall we try that?
- Okay.

I'll just have this dialogue
sheet over here behind the phone.

You continue saying your lines.

In case you forget your lines...

...you can read from this. Yeah?
- Okay.

Why don't you turn on the recorder?
- Nervous.

"Hi, Mom... Hi, Dad."

"I am completely conscious of..."

"...what I'm going to say next..."

"...and I'm really
sorry for doing this."

"Dad, remember what you said to me..."

"...when I was leaving for Mumbai?"

"You said... baby, go
there and work very hard."

"The harder you work,
the more successful you'll become."

"I worked really hard."

"From dawn to dusk..."

"...I would audition all day."

"And in spite of all my efforts..."

"...I was never
selected for anything."

"Luck is a very important
factor out here."

"And I was completely out of it."

"Some people say
those who aren't lucky..."

"...have to compromise themselves."

"But I gave you my word."

"I would rather die than compromise."

"And here I am today."

"I lost, Dad... I lost, Mom..."

"I really wanted to make
you guys very proud of me."

"But I couldn't make it."

"I am really sorry."

This is perfect.

Amazing.

You... made me emotional.

My throat's dried up.

Can I have some water?
- I'm really sorry.

I'll get you some water.
I'll get you some....

Very nice.
- Thank you.

Here.
- Thank you, that was very nice.

Thank you.

Anita, I've to make a phone call...

...and there's no calling
balance in my phone.

Can I make a call?
- Yes please, go ahead.

Okay. Thank you.

It's locked.

Thanks.

Hello. Can I speak to Gavin sir?

Yeah....

Yes, sir.

We're done with the
screen test. Correct.

Yes, sir.

We'll wrap up the part soon.

Okay, sir... no problem, sir.

Okay sir.

I'll send it over soon to you.

Okay, bye.

That was good.

I told Gavin sir
that... you were amazing.

We'll send him this video shortly.

Thank you.

He wanted to know if we got something
to eat to celebrate your terrific audition?

But I said no... I'm not that lucky!

I'm really sorry. I'm really sorry.

I'll order something right away.
- No, it's alright.

I'll order pizza.
- No... no, please....

Are you sure?
- Yeah.

Okay.

Just give me some time.

Hello.
- Hello.

This is Pizza House.

I am calling from K-403, Crystal Society.
- Yes ma'am.

Could you send over two
medium farm house pizzas.

Actually, send just one medium size pizza.
- Yes ma'am.

And... don't take 40
minutes like the last time.

Be here in 30 minutes.
- Okay ma'am. Okay ma'am.

Okay. Thank you.

Just 30 minutes.
- Yeah.

So Gavin sir suggested that...

...we should rehearse
the next scene as well.

The suffocation scene.

He just wants to see how
you express yourself in that scene.

How... how are we going to do that?

I'll show you.

So according to the scene,
first, you switch on the video.

When it's on,
take this tie-up first...

...and fasten it around your
legs like this. And then tighten it.

Next... you don't have glasses,
but I do so I will remove them.

Let me show you.

Take this... and wrap
it around really wide.

Otherwise, it won't fit well.

Wide....

Wide....

And....

Then you take this and...

...fasten your hands at the back.

Really tight.

And... you'll start suffocating.

God.

Oh, God!

Wasn't that realistic?

God, that was simply wow!
- You liked it?

You should've been an actor.
- No one gave me a chance.

But it's your turn now, okay?
- Yes. Yes....

I'll clear this mess out
so it doesn't get in your way.

And now you get ready for your sh*t.

Listen... don't be late...

...or else I'll really die!
- Don't worry. I won't let you die so soon.

Huh?

I mean... you've still
to pay for the pizza.

Haha... Okay!

Wait, can I have the phone, please?

It's really dirty. Let me clean it.

Here... now you can have it.
It's okay.

Alright... don't be late.

Mom.

Dad.

"Only I am to be held responsible
for what I'm about to do now..."

"...no one else."

I know those people were innocent.

I feel really bad for them.

Whenever I try to sleep at night...

...their faces haunt me, and
I wake up scared, Mrs. Mascarenhas.

But then I look at Josh's face...

...I eventually fall asleep,
Mrs. Mascarenhas.

I miss you.

Sir, Shinde sir has sent this video.

Yeah... the actress case....

File it.

There's only one
CCTV at this junction.

Pause, pause, pause.

Zoom.

Sir, nothing's clear.
It was raining heavily.

It's hard to make anything out.

Rajwade... does glamour
make you a grow a horn?

Let me get my share of glamour first.

What's wrong?

One aspiring actress who lived on Yari
Road commits su1c1de...

...and the entire city's curious.

Back in my hometown...

...because of famine, farmers
are committing su1c1de every day.

But no one gives a damn.

Which actress?

This is exactly what I am saying!

Here I am talking about
the farmer's plight...

...and you are more interested
in the actress.

Go search on the Internet.

Fine, I will.

But first... have this pizza.

With cheese crust.

It's Ganpat's birthday today,
so it's his treat.

I saved this one last slice for you.

Otherwise, these gluttons would've
polished-off this last one as well.

You did the right thing.
- Yeah.

But you know what...
- What?

These days,
there's no point of a good deed.

Do you know why people
have stopped helping others?

- Why?

It's a bloody tedious process.

This girl donated six of her organs.

How many?
- Six.

But it took them two hours...

...to get a simple NOC
from the police station.

So... who will be motivated
to do a good deed?

Here... play it.

This is the CCTV at
Nana Chowk [Crossroads]...

...while this road leads
to Chowpatty.

Kabir sir, don't misunderstand me...

But please stop drinking so much.

I pay for my own drink.
- Sometimes.

But that's not the point.

You see... Rahul donated his organs.

Even this actress donated her organs.

This gave me an idea, that...

...we should donate
our organs as well.

But sir... if we keep
drinking like this...

Then our organs will become hollow and
play like mouth organs and be of no use.

Need something else?

Hey, start it.

See Kabir sir,
this girl recorded her su1c1de.

Sir! It's weird. Right?

"Hi Dad."

Dump everything on a hard
drive and send it to my cabin.

"I am completely conscious of..."

"...what I'm going to say next"

"and I'm really sorry for this."

"Dad, remember what you said to me..."

"When... I was leaving for Mumbai?"

"You said... Baby, go
there and work very hard."

"The harder you work,
the more successful you'll become."

Try harder, my He-Man.

Hot - hot Omelet.

Healthy - healthy breakfast.

For my boys.
- Thank you, Granny. Say thank you.

Granny... I don't want an omelet.

I want a peanut butter sandwich.

It's healthy, good for you.

Packed with proteins. Eat it.

I am bored of eating omelets.

Eat quietly.

Oh my God.

What happened?

That Anita Sahani....

The actress who committed su1c1de.

Now most of the producers
and directors are saying...

...that they would've
given her a role.

The current generation, I tell you....

A little bit of frustration
is all it takes...

...to drive them to
committing su1c1de.

They don't think about
their parents at all.

When someone dies...

...countless other lives
get destroyed with them.

I wish this generation
wasn't so selfish.

Mom... whatever happens...

...there's a very good reason for it.

Hey... Josh. Peanut butter sandwich.

It's okay. He's a kid, let him enjoy.

The pizza delivery
guy rushed her to the hospital.

She lived alone.

Alone....

Depressed....

And she committed su1c1de.

Why would she order pizza?
- Could be her dying wish.

Eating pizza?

Possible.

Play the first clip.

"Hi, Mom..."

"Remember you said..."

"...baby,
go there and work very hard."

"The harder you work,
the more successful you'll become."

"I came to Mumbai."

Rewind.

There.

Now play....

"The harder you work,
the more successful you'll become."

"From dawn to dusk..."

"...I would audition all day."

"And in spite of all my efforts..."

"...I was never selected for anything."
- She isn't just saying it, she's reading it out!

So?

su1c1de notes are always written.

Well, one can speak it out, too.

Sure. But they aren't written
first and then read out.

But....

"Luck is very important here."

"So it was a new factor."

"Some people say
those who aren't lucky...."

See....

That's right, sir. She is reading it.

"The future holds many
joyful experiences for you."

"You'll be blessed with love,
fortune, work, good health."

"There are signs of
a foreign trip as well."

"Please deposit 20 rupees. Thank you."

Thank you.

Keep the change.

Seriously?

You believe in all that bullshit?

It's like watching a film, Danny.

It's a lie....

Actually, you know it's not even real,
but it's fun.

You're not telling me
what you called me here for.

The Australian Centre for
Medical Science sent me an email.

They are offering
a 3-year contract, and...

...it's a great package.

And....

And?

And nothing.

It's just that... everything is
going the way I always wanted it to.

It's unbelievable.

Four months ago when
Josh suffered a major att*ck...

...we were number 4 on the list.

And what happened since then....

It's impossible.

He's just two donations
away from normalcy.

Two donors turning
up in such a short time....

It's a miracle, Danny.

There are no miracles in life, Aruna.

Just the once you create.

Then create one for us.

The mail clearly states that...

...you're requested
to move... with your family.

Did you have your food?

Yes, I'm eating the food you packed.

How did it taste?

The vegetables...
are still... umm... fresh.

Really delicious.

Sir, should I get more
kebabs for you?

Kebabs...?

What kebabs?

Get lost.

Where are you?

No... not to you.
- Where did this kebabs come from?

Hey! What am I asking you?

Yeah... coming, Kabir sir.

Listen, hubby!

I'll speak to you later.

Did you pledge your organs?

No, sir.

The other day I just
said it for the heck of it.

Honestly speaking... it's scary.

What if someday I'm
admitted to a hospital...

...and those guys just take
my organs out while I'm still alive!

This girl donated six of her organs.

How many?
- Six."

She isn't just saying it,
she's reading it out.

You see... Rahul donated his organs.

Even this actress
donated her organs.

This gave me an idea, that...

...we should donate
our organs as well.

When Rahul's bike was recovered...

...his helmet was
tied at the back, Sir.

I need a zonal list of
All organ donors in Mumbai.

Hmmm?
- I want it now.

Can I finish this first?
- No, come on.

Clear the bill, come.
- Sir.

Hey... pack everything up, fast.

There are so many organ donors.

How do we go through these?

Here's another list of donors.
Check this, too.

Sir.

It's the organ mafia, sir.


No... that's not possible.

Why?

It's not the organ
mafia's modus operandi.

k*ll the victims... and then
donate their organs.

Then there can be only one culprit.

Who?

Coincidence.

Two people were on the same organ
donors list and they both d*ed.

Coincidence.

Let it go, sir... this is enough.

Doctor. Expert opinion.

Come on! Let's go!

Due to recent organ scams... many
cases have come into the limelight.

Illegal organ transplant
is next to impossible.

Well, this includes many parameters.

Healthy organs,
police NOC, family permissions.

And the most important
factor in organ donation...

...is that the donor and recipient
must have the same blood group.

Rahul's and Anita's families...

...had given their approval
for organ donation.

They had a rare blood group,
but it was the same.

Around 9 people got a new life.

Nice people.
May their souls rest in peace.

Rahul's and Anita's families...

...had given their approval
for organ donation.

They had a rare blood group,
but it was the same.

Sir, here's a list of
AB negative recipients and donors.

We'll go after the donors.
- Why, sir?

Anita and Rahul were both donors
with AB negative blood group.

Whoever the k*ller is...

...he's going after
AB negative donors.

Shortlist them.

Right, sir.

Sir, may I go?

It's quite late.
- Carry on.

Sir! Kabir sir, come quickly.
