01x02 - Pain/k*ller

[bunniefuu]

What's going on here? Move, please!

The rest, come here!

How many times
do I need to tell you

that Dr. Shekhawat is on leave?

Why do you keep showing up?

Sister, the injection that was
administered for my wound

has given me a terrible reaction.

I have blisters everywhere.
They're even starting to pop.

Please cover that up. All the way!

Now, listen.

Come back on Tuesday
and see Dr. Renuka. Now, go.

Leave!

Just keep taking your medication
on time, as prescribed. Okay?

This one is fine.

Vivek, can you open
a window at least?

Feels like a gas chamber
in here.

Just focus on the calls
and don't annoy me please, Sushi.

Hello? Yes, this is Sister Nupur
from the government hospital.

Weren't you struggling
with a migraine problem?

Okay, so how are you
doing now?

Anything else? Fever, et cetera?

-You have the prescribed medication?
-Hello?

Okay, just keep taking them
on time. Okay?

-f*ck.
-This one is fine too.

Listen...

Our other driver, Bilal?

-What about him?
-He's showing symptoms.

Epistaxis. His nose is bleeding.

Are you out of your mind?

You did a trial on him too?

-So what?
-Why not volunteer me too?

Why are you creating so much drama?
I'm already stressed enough.

Can you and your dad
stop attacking me for once?

You're going to bring
all of us down.

I will take us down? Me?

You've been part of every decision
I've made so far.

We discussed everything!

You want to go on vacations. Huh?

You want club memberships.
You think they're free?

And thanks to you, Sushi,
only because of you,

I even sold
government-issued medication.

Didn't you have a complex about
having a small car?

And please stop playing
these blame games now.

-Think about what to do next.
-Exactly, think about it!

I carried the trial
on eight patients.

Bilal is showing symptoms;
Tukaram is already dead. Think!

Vivek...

Not eight.

Nine.

Good morning, my child.

Hey, why haven't
you eaten breakfast yet?

-Your tea's gone cold. Let me--
-Papa!

Papa, what is my value
in this house?

I get to know from an outsider
that my mom has had a stent placed?

Do you know how
embarrassing that is for me?

And what is the point of
my being a doctor then?

Were you here?

How could I tell you?
Besides, what would I have said?

How were we to know
you would return to Bhopal

and join the very same hospital?

Are you here to show everyone
that you take care of us?

We're seeing your face
after eight long years.

There's a big difference between
paying attention and giving attention.

Just because I don't show it doesn't
mean I don't care about you both.

Papa, you could've told me.
What if something went wrong?

I was here to make sure
that didn't happen, child.

Sit. Jamuna needs stitches.

I'll be back before you know it.
Have a seat, relax.

If you won't feed me,
buy me a cigarette at least?

Why don't you smoke
the one between my legs?

I would.

If you could light it up for me.

m*therf*cker!

-Hush!
-Sorry...

What nonsense he's spouting.

Ignore him.

Which one of you is Mangu?

Okay, please sign here,
here and here.

Here, sign these quickly.

This is a trial for
an immunity-building drug.

"Immunity" means
the body's ability to fight disease.

Yes, sister, I explained it all
to them. Don't worry.

-Didn't I?
-Yes?

You haven't eaten anything
since this morning, right?

I didn't let them.

Sister!

Where is the other sister?

The one who administered
the injection to my folks last week?

You go, bro.

Now I get why this dude
came dressed to the nines!

Good morning, Bablu sir.

How was she hurt?

That protest outside
the award function.

That's what did it.

Did you meet Dr. Shekhawat?

Ow! No.

You know Pramod Ahuja?

Dr. Shekhawat is his son-in-law.

How can you expect a minister
to listen when a doctor doesn't?

-Ouch!
-Papa, let me do it.

-Easy.
-Let me.

Look that way.

I'll write you a prescription.
Take your meds on time, okay?

Papa, scissors?

Please calm down. Come on,
you're scaring the kids.

There, there.

All done.

Can I see that?

Jamuna...

There's no report about
Tukaram's death in here.

Do you have any other papers?

Everything I have is in there.

Okay, when you were given
Tukaram's dead body...

Sorry. I'm sorry.

Listen to me.

When you received it,
did you notice any big cuts on it?

A gash down the front
of his chest?

We barely got to see him
for the last time, miss.

Yes, miss.

There was a long gash
from his chest to his stomach.

She kept touching it.

Saying if we could put
some food inside,

Papa would wake up.

And she doesn't know anything.

She wasn't in her right senses
at the time.

Hmm. Jamuna, listen.

You have to go to the hospital
and get the autopsy report.

I am never setting foot
in that place again!

They swallowed my husband whole!

He was perfectly fine, miss.
Just had a little backache.

And they gave him an injection
without explanation!

Dr. Shekhawat was saying
it would give him instant relief.

But there's nothing
about an injection here?

Jamuna, the autopsy report
is very important.

You have to get it from
the hospital by any means.

Take my number from Papa.

If there's any problem,
call me, okay?

Okay.

This is amazing.
Just looking at the money

made your backache go away?

What a great gig, Mangu!

Hold this, you c**t.

So much money for
bending over once?

Do you guys think
this is all a piece of cake?

It's an undertaking,
let me tell you.

UP, MP, Punjab, Haryana...

In all these places, people are
lining up to get pricked.

And it's not this easy
to get pricked. Do you get it?

Speaking of getting pricked...
How's your nurse, mister?

Any progress?

Looks like there is!

Swear to god, brother.

The way she smiled at me.

Good morning, Doc.

Okay, let's begin.

The financial reports
of our previous quarter

are in front of all of you.

I have also sent the budget plan
of our next quarter

to my father in London,
our fifth board member.

Dr. Nath, please go ahead.

Dr. Shindey, would you
like to say something?

I have nothing new to say.

You have the capital to
open new research centres,

the capital to employ
new personnel.

But none for the devices required
by my cardiology department.

Snehal, please.

I have already given you
the full list.

All the money
simply gets allocated to Elisir.

I know it's your dream project,
but there's a limit to everything.

There's no limit to saving
people's lives and caring for them.

You and I started Manthan
with this very vision.

Saving lives.

Elisir is just one more step
in that direction.

Dr. Shindey, we want to make Elisir
operational as soon as possible.

It's our revenue machine.
You already know this.

I've been listening to
the same thing for a year.

I've spoken to the vendors already.
I can't ask them to wait anymore.

The land that we needed for
the Elisir extension,

we're now getting it
at a subsidised rate.

Any funds we have left over
will be directed straight to you.

I'll make my point one last time.

Manthan's funds should be used
for Manthan only.

You can use your personal funds
towards Elisir's needs.

I'm sure there's no dearth of that.

-I understand your point.
-Oh, do you?

-I do, more than you think.
-Dr. Shindey...

Manthan is my first baby.

And you know the importance
of the first baby.

We understand what Manthan needs.

And we will fulfil all those needs.

Elisir is our second baby;
we can't ignore it.

It's not about ignoring.
It's that...

Manthan is our need.

And Elisir is simply your ambition.

Anyway, I don't have much time.

I have to go. It's my OT day.

Of course.

And I missed you
at the award function.

Congratulations.

Thank you. I hope I see you
in the evening today?

Oh, I'll try my best,
but my schedule is very tight.

Hey there, boy.

Not hungry?

You're a diamond, my boy.

But why are you slumming it
in the rough?

Seriously, Bablu sir,
you're too much.

Don't be shy.

Look at her.

A bombshell.

That's why I married her.

Hi, ma'am.

Darling.

I've asked the DJ...
to play your favourite song.

Set the floor on fire.

Come with me.

It's going well, buddy.

The future rests on the shoulders
of young boys like you.

Right? Here. Take it.

Sit.

Have you ever been
outside Bhopal?

Do you want to?

Will you go to Jabalpur?

Chandigarh?

It's a long game.

Bumper trial, bumper earnings.

Cheers.

Do me a favour.

Here. Enjoy.

Bablu sir, now you're
just taking the piss.

You're yanking my chain!

m*therf*cker, I'm not
giving it to you.

I'm taking my girl to Kashmir.

It's yours for the time being. Here.

Don't forget.

This is going to be a long game.

Okay?

Now it makes sense...

Mr. Ahuja? Hi.

Oh, hello, Ms. Saira.

-Can I talk to you for a second?
-Oh, sure!

So, Dr Nath was right about you.

I've been told Mrs. Savarkar
is finally going home tomorrow?

-Yes, finally.
-Congratulations.

Thank you, and to you too.

Well, Manthan is thankful to you.

-Did you meet Mr. Mehra?
-Mr. Mehra?

He handles our marketing.

For doctors like us here,
networking is very important.

Yes, I'll surely meet him.

Mr. Ahuja, I wanted to ask
you something.

Your son-in-law is
a general physician, right?

Yes, at the government hospital.

I'll introduce you
to Vivek someday.

Yeah, I would really like that.

Coincidentally, my father
knows someone

whose husband was
a patient of Dr. Shekhawat's.

And the family has been trying to
meet with him for some time now.

-Please come. Let's...
-Yeah, sure.

You know the state of
a government hospital.

General physicians employed there
don't even have time to breathe.

These days Vivek is a little unwell.

Maybe that's why
he couldn't meet the family.

What did you say
the patient's name was?

The wife's name is Jamuna;
the patient's name is Tukaram.

I mean, was. He died a few days ago.

In Dr. Shekhawat's absence,
the hospital won't release his reports.

-I was hoping you could help.
-Oh.

I'm really sorry for her loss.

By the way, how do Jamuna
and your father...

My father is a retired compounder.

She came to him for some stitches.

Oh! Like father, like daughter!

Please arrange for me
to talk to Dr. Shekhawat.

-Sure.
-Thank you. Have a good day.

-You too.
-Bye.

Yes?

What?

I need the coronary angiogram
and the MRI by tomorrow.

Dr. Vashist, you will assist me
in the morning.

Yeah, Doctor.

By 10 o'clock,
we'll start the surgery.

Keep monitoring him
through the night.

Any changes,
just let me know.

Yes, ma'am.

Dr. Nath! Sorry, sorry...

I'm here without an appointment.

No...

-It's a pressing issue...
-Yeah, sure.

Thank you, Dr. Nath.

-Thank you, Dr. Nath.
-It's okay.

How can I help you?

Dr. Nath, so Aspire...
Can... can I sit?

Yeah, sure.

Dr. Nath...

The camps that Aspire is conducting.

Out of 50 test subjects,
11 are showing severe symptoms.

All the trials happening in Aspire
are being conducted by Manthan.

You understand, right?

Two subjects are dead, Dr. Nath.

These are the reports.

And then...

And then there's Tukaram.

-Who's Tukaram?
-It's my fault.

It's totally my fault.

Tukaram...

Dr. Nath...

If these trials
are not stopped immediately,

it's going to be a big problem.

Dr. Nath, S93R is not a drug.
It's poison.

That's a huge thing you're saying.

Yeah, it's very huge, madam.

I'm going to talk to Aspire
and Vayu Pharma today itself.

Yes, Dr. Nath, I knew you
were the right person to tell.

Vivek! You didn't tell me
you were coming to Manthan!

I did.

-No, I--
-Look, Dr. Nath is very busy.

It's okay, it's okay.

Please understand. She's--

Dr. Shekhawat is here
about a very serious matter.

It's a very serious problem!

-Okay.
-It's very urgent!

All right, I get it.

We'll manage it. Come.

-Please look into it, Doctor.
-I will.

-Thank you very much for your time.
-Not at all. Thanks for telling me.

-I'm really sorry for disturbing you.
-Thank you for telling me.

Thought it's my duty to just--

I promise you
I'll look into it.

Okay.

You came in here intoxicated and
barged straight into Gauri's office?

Has your brain
stopped functioning?

Fifty more people have
undergone the trial.

Already a majority of the subjects
are showing severe symptoms.

Dr. Nath should know
what's going on!

What did Gauri tell you?
What did she say?

You don't need
to do anything. Okay?

Now, go straight home.

And don't come here
without informing me. Understand?

You're reeking of alcohol.

How much longer
will you keep embarrassing me?

Hey, jerk!

Where do you think
you're going?

You messed with
the wrong crowd!

You dare ignore our calls?
as*h*le! Go, go!

Hey, wait!

I'll break every bone
in your body

if anyone touches
the motorcycle! Okay?

Now scram!
Or you'll get a beating!

What's wrong, Ma?

Where were you all day?

She's been running
a high fever all afternoon.

And it keeps going higher.

What? A fever? How, Ma?

-Hello, ma'am.
-Hello.

Welcome.

Please come.

-This way, ma'am.
-Thank you.

Hi, Dr. Swarup.

Oh! What a surprise!

You are here at this party?

Ma'am, your drink.

-Meet my wife.
-Hi.

Hi.

Mahima, she's the one
I mentioned about.

New cardiac surgeon.

This Dr. Bharadwaj...

As usual blowing
his own trumpet.

-Seriously!
-Rashida...

is a very well-known scientist.

And Saira is a junior surgeon.

Not so experienced, you know?

-Yes.
-Yeah.

Chandrakant is here.

As usual, without his wife,
Avantika, by his side.

Avantika is Gauri's cousin, right?

By the way...

you do have a certain something.

Just look.

She came on
Dr. Nath's recommendation and...

now she's made it here as well.

-Right?
-Agreed.

Either you have the talent
or the audacity.

Cheers!

Cheers. Everyone having fun?

Yeah, yeah.

-How's Rhea?
-Rhea's doing well.

Great. You look so beautiful!

Thank you.

Dr. Nath, your house
is just stunning.

Thank you.

Would you like to see it?

Yeah, sure! Excuse me.

-Dr. Yudhishtir Nath.
-My grandfather.

He was the first doctor
in our family.

Great man.

And that's Dr. Abhimanyu Nath.

-The hero of your life.
-My dad.

I so wish he was here
right now.

To carry such a big legacy,

it just all sounds so wonderful,
but I'm sure it's not easy.

What will you have?

I'm fasting today.

Oh.

-Hello, sir.
-Hello...

Shall we talk in private?

Private talks usually mean
mind games.

But if you're bringing it up,
it must be important.

You're a perceptive man.

Let's go.

What do you want?

Your blessings.

And a little more land
for Elisir's extension.

So, what's the problem?

That land is currently home
to a children's park.

The matter is closed then.

I'm a real estate man.

I can build a park in every
neighbourhood in Bhopal.

All you need to do is allot
that land for the extension,

and, as always, 10% is yours.

I facilitated Elisir's approval
for 10%.

Now you want an extension on that.

It's only fair that
you approve my extension too.

Then you'll get your approval.

Even government officers are
given increments every three years.

And I am the government itself.

Why don't you learn something
from Gauri?

The elections are around the corner.

25% for the approval.

Don't embarrass me by bargaining.

I should mingle
with your other guests.

Pratap!

This is Dr. Saira Sabharwal.
Cardiology.

Gauri's best find.

Hi, nice to meet you.

Ashok. Nice meeting you.

Gauri!

Where is everyone? Where is Shindey?
I'm missing the fun!

-I need to have a word with you.
-Of course.

It's very important.

Of course, not tonight, but...

Okay, whenever you like.

Would I dare to
refuse you anything?

Thank you.

I think it was Picasso who said...

"Learn the rules like a pro so
you can break them like an artist."

Good evening, Abhay, my son.

Dad, I'm hungry.
So, f*ck Picasso. I need pizza.

That's a bad habit for a doctor.

I'm... I'm so sorry.

-It's okay.
-Are you sure?

Okay.

Want to go for a walk?

Yeah, sure. One second.

Youth is not easy.

It's difficult for him. It's...

difficult for me.

He just wants your attention.

Being a single child,
I understand that.

Sorry, I didn't mean it
like that.

-It's okay.
-Sorry.

You're going to have to stub
that cigarette right now.

Mangla Gauri's temple.

It is cleansed every night
with milk.

God appreciates purity.

Come.

-I didn't know you have dogs!
-You don't know anything about me.

Take care.

You'll love them.

Boys?

Boys...

Hi, babies!

Hi, little ones!

Good boy!

They like you.

-Such disciplined boys!
-Hi!

-They're absolutely beautiful.
-Right?

I know. Beautifully dangerous.

Their best quality
is their loyalty.

My babies! What handsome boys!

What gorgeous babies!

Gorgeous one!

I love you too!

I love you too, my babies!

A beauty spot.

I'm sorry.

-I'm so sorry.
-Let's call it a night.

I told you when COVID hit as well.

You didn't listen to me then.
At least listen to me now.

You have everyone
in your pocket. MLAs too.

Why don't you file
a no-confidence motion?

The land allotment
for Elisir will be done.

I will make it happen.

Elisir is for the poor.

And Nathu Lal is asking for 25%.

He's such a thief.

He doesn't care about the people.

But you know...

that Elisir is for Bhopal.

For the people of Bhopal.

Patience, Gauri.

Very soon you'll see him
holding a begging bowl.

I will be
the next Chief Minister.

You make the preparations
accordingly.

I have convinced Pratap.

He's spoken to
the investors already.

There won't be any problems with
the funding of your campaign.

Gauri...

You really are very beautiful.

Do you have to go?

I have work.

I'll see you soon.

So, ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome

a truly selfless hero
of the society,

a brilliant neurosurgeon,

Dr. Gauri Nath.
