02x06 - Aapki Marzi

Post by bunniefuu »

- (on TV) The first triumph for England.

- (whooping and laughs)

(man) He nailed it!

Sending New Zealand's

most in-form player back.

Yusuf bhai.

(laughs)

₹50 million from me.

(phone ringing)

- ₹150 million from me.

- (phone rings)

Yes.

Great. Right, Kismat.

Okay.

(phone ringing)

What?

1:10? Fine. I am on.

Yes!

- (clapping)

- Amazing, direct hit!

Fantastic, Yusuf bhai.

This is amazing.

(on TV) If they want to win

the match now

Six on the next ball.

Do you have a boon, Yusuf bhai?

I get every news before time.

Do you have some kind of setting?

(laughs)

Just luck, Raman bhai.

Another shocker, both openers

are back in the dugout.

Keep betting. Keep betting.

One hundred and fifty million.

I trust Yusuf bhai.

- (phone ringing)

- (man) I bet more, Yusuf bhai.

The batsmen are ready

Yeah, Kismat.

Are you sure?

Bet everything on New Zealand.

(suspenseful music)

Okay.

New Zealand.

(on TV) The shot's in the air.

Can the fielder get under it?

That's a dropped catch.

Can you believe it?

Catch dropped.

The batsmen take two runs

Will the throw be on the mark?

Unbelievable.

- (tense music)

- The ball's headed for the boundary.

And England owns this match,

winning the trophy

because of an overthrow!

(man) Yusuf bhai.

What just happened?

I lost all my money.

(tense music)

(man 1) Yusuf bhai, you could have

asked if you wanted the money.

In our business,

we take the public for a ride,

not each other.

You stripped us naked.

Come on. Let's go.

(man) Thought he could play God.

Let's go!

(Yusuf) Kismat, that Vardaan

turned out to be wrong.

I lost

all the party's election money.

He ruined my entire business.

Call him. Call him.

I'll make a conference call.

(Kismat) Vardaan, you lost everything

in a single night.

What to do, Kismat?

It's bloody bad luck.

YOUR CHOICE

Children, what are

we supposed to do?

(insects buzzing)

I'll tell you.

We'll open our bags

and quickly fill them with

those powder packets over there,

and close them up.

One more thing.

Listen to me carefully.

We will climb aboard Swati's bus.

Don't be scared.

No one's going to check us.

Between the bus and the hotel room,

keep the bags closed.

Don't open it on the way

or share with anyone.

In the morning, we will get dressed

and leave for Pune.

Then, Nagpur the following day

and then

Goa.

For the cultural show.

But always remember

to keep the bags closed.

Do not give them to anyone else.

Come on, let's fill up the bags.

Come on.

(suspenseful music)

(yells) Are you deaf?

Fill up the bags!

Sangeeta, fill up the bags.

Sister,

this doesn't seem right.

I see.

Why are you dragging

the children into this?

Why?

This is their school.

This is where they graduate

to become like Madhu.

Didn't she tell you?

She was as old as her

when she came to me.

- And didn't I train her well for you--

- Enough, Reshma!

Shut up!

Rather than disfiguring them

and making them beg on the streets,

I gave them a place

to stay and a new life.

This is their way of repaying me.

How is it wrong?

Child, what is wrong?

Nothing.

Don't be scared.

No need to be scared.

She has nothing against you

except for your fear.

- Run away.

- Really?

Why didn't you run away?

Hunger forces you to endure cruelty.

If one of you goes to the police--

The police will put them in an NGO.

And the NGO is mine.

If they unite against you,

there will be no NGO you can go to.

Unite?

Their hearts, minds

and lives are broken.

You try putting them together.

(g*nsh*t)

(captives scream)

(g*nsh*t)

(girl) Vidushi! What happened?

Back. Back.

Get back!

(gasping)

(crying)

Reshma. Reshma.

Don't force the children.

Look, children.

All those who don't

want to do this job

can stand on this side. Understood?

What?

(yells) Now!

Fire brigade.

What?

Call the fire brigade.

(intense music)

There's a lot to go. Hurry up.

We should be leaving too.

The police will be here soon.

I read it on Taaza Khabar.

We will get arrested.

(suspenseful music)

Tie them up.

They talk too much.

Seize their phones.

And the girl?

We will take care of her.

You take care of yourself.

(footfalls)

(faucet dripping)

(coughs)

(insects buzzing)

(indistinct chatter)

This building is about to collapse.

What?

- What do you mean by collapse?

- (Mehboob) Who is going to collapse?

That's why you made me

call the fire brigade.

Why didn't you

tell us earlier, Vasya?

Why did we come here

if the building was going to collapse?

- (Mehboob) Fire brigade--

- (Madhu) Why did you make the transfer?

- What transfer?

- What happened?

What transfer are

you guys talking about?

I got 2 breaking news.

(suspenseful music)

(Yusuf) Any news about drugs?

Drugs as in medicines?

Drugs as in weed, hash, cocaine,

MDMA, narcotics.

Okay. I'll check.

(car engine starts)

MUMBAI: LARGE QUANTITY OF COCAINE

RECOVERED FROM ICE FACTORY

Yes. Listen.

- Yes, brother.

- (Vasya) It's a big job.

Waseem and you arrange for

hospital uniforms and an ambulance.

("Paisa" playing)

(vehicle halts)

- (message notification)

- COME UPSTAIRS

(song continues)

(Vasya) Madhu will suddenly

faint at her workplace,

and you guys will pick her up.

Madhu. Madhu.

(song continues)

I will also come along.

No, ma'am. Sorry.

Her blood pressure is too low.

I think she's been infected

by the new variant.

Sorry, we'll have to

quarantine here.

- Close the door.

- No one can accompany her.

(door closes)

(Vasya) From there, head straight

to the ice factory.

I pulled some strings.

There will be no guard there.

(song continues)

(wood creaks)

(clattering)

(Vasya) The drugs are hidden

in ice. Load it onto the ambulance.

But leave some of it behind

because the news has to come true.

Reach the location I sent you.

It's a dilapidated building.

Hide the drugs

on the second floor.

Waseem, cover it up.

- (Vasya) -And leave immediately.

- Let's go.

I will deal with the rest.

(Peter) And the other news?

This building is going to collapse.

I hid the consignment here

and asked Reshma for help.

Because I knew

she would backstab me

and bring Yusuf here.

Vasya, how were you planning

to get out of all this?

I was going to jump

from the second floor.

I would have broken a leg and would

have to limp for the rest of my life.

But now you guys are here.

And the kids.

f*ck!

(panting)

(stutters) When is the building

going to collapse?

Maybe 20 minutes.

Twenty?

My father told me to join the army.

I could have died for the country.

Not in an earthquake like this.

(clicks tongue)

What did you say?

What? If I was in the army,

I would been a martyr.

(Peter) He's lost his mind.

Where is your army knife?

The one you made a video of.

(suspenseful music)

(crickets chirping)

Vidushi isn't speaking

at all, sister.

At least get her some water.

Right away.

Swati madam, sorry for

disturbing you at this late hour,

but I have some bad news.

Your entire shipment was

confiscated because of that Vardaan.

Had I been

in charge of this, then

Yusuf bhai.

Where is my promotion?

Upstairs.

Safely waiting with 10 kilos

of cocaine and your old friend Vasya.

(Mehboob) Be careful

Peter Peter.

(Vasant) Are you going to

cut my hand?

Go see Yusuf bhai.

I will check on them.

(Madhu) Careful. Careful.

(footfalls)

(Vasant) Set the timer for 15 minutes

and keep telling me the time.

- (Shazia) Okay, done.

- (Vasant) Shh!

Someone's coming.

(door opens)

(knife piercing)

(henchman groans)

(high-octane music)

Hurry up. Let's go.

Let's go

(man 2) What's happening in there?

Is everything all right?

Hurry up. Hide.

Hide.

(footfalls)

(tense music)

(henchman grunting)

(Peter) Give me

(Mehboob screams)

Vasant, catch him.

Go back.

(moans)

Careful

(Madhu) Vasya he'll fall.

(Shazia) Vasya, he'll fall.

The bus will go to Pune tomorrow

(all) He'll fall.

- (man screams)

- (all gasp)

(loud thud)

Jamshed!

(footfalls)

What are you all looking at?

Back to your seats.

(insects buzzing)

She must be taken

to the hospital, sister.

There is time for that.

But she has lost a lot of blood.

Then let her bleed.

Please, sister. Help Vidushi.

Help people once,

and they get addicted

to asking for help.

And when you don't help them,

they learn to help themselves.

Understood?

Did you understand or not?

Please

(footfalls)

Vasya.

Want to play games?

(g*nshots)

(both gasp)

Shh!

(g*nsh*t)

(Vasya) Yusuf!

The game's over.

- Vasant!

- Don't move!

- I have a bad aim.

- (Mehboob) No, no.

I'll aim at your leg

and blow your brains out.

There is still

a lot of goods left here.

We can split it.

Look, boy.

I am giving you a new life.

Can you give me a new father?

(g*nsh*t)

Wait stop

- Stop

- (g*nshots going off)

Move!

(high-octane music)

(thuds)

Look out.

(thuds)

(screams)

(slaps)

(groans)

(thuds loudly, screams)

(grunting in pain)

Sangeeta.

- Sangeeta, untie me.

- Let's go.

- (chair creaks)

- Untie me.

- Come on.

- Sangeeta, untie me.

Listen to me. Untie me.

Sangeeta, untie me.

(g*nshots)

Catch him.

Let go.

Leave.

(glass shatters)

(Mehboob) Leave it.

(clatters)

(screams) Vasya.

(intense music)

(slams)

Stay back.

(screams)

(breathing heavily)

You bloody

I'll show you

(glass breaks)

(punches)

Sister, why are we going upstairs?

To save brother Vasya.

Hey!

(children screaming)

Madhu, take the children and run!

(g*n c*ck)

(g*nshots)

(screams)

(intense music)

(gasping)

(footfalls)

(man 3) Heads down.

No one will lift their heads.

(tense music)

I said heads down.

(wood creaks)

(children screaming)

Come on. Run.

Which location did they say exactly?

(siren blaring)

There is no fire here.

You must be mistaken.

I think some kid was pranking us.

Come on, turn the vehicle around.

Careful. Careful.

Shazia, the fire brigade's leaving.

Only nine more minutes to go.

What do we do?

Go with the girls. Leave.

(screams)

- (g*nsh*t)

- (children scream)

(Shazia) Madhu!

(screams)

(wood clatters)

Freeze.

No one moves.

Sit back down. Come on.

Are you deaf?

No one moves.

Sit down.

(expl*si*n)

(children screaming)

(siren blaring)

Turn it around.

Turn the vehicle around.

(children screaming)

Children, hurry up.

Fire brigade.

Let's go that way.

Come on.

(siren blaring)

Help. Fire brigade.

(g*nshots)

(high-octane music)

Come.

Shazia, take the children

someplace safe.

- And you?

- Vasya is alone.

But your arm--

The b*llet only grazed it.

You go.

Only seven minutes are left.

(fireman) Wait, madam!

You can't go that way.

(fire crackling, whooshing)

(panting)

(g*n c*ck)

(yelps)

Madhu, no!

Vardaan bhai.

I think she's looking for you.

Ah-ah!

No more smart moves.

(Manoj) Hands up. Hands up.

Move back.

Back. Stay back.

as*h*le, you move and I sh**t.

Throw the g*n away.

Throw it.

(clatters)

(tense music)

(knife piercing)

(grunts)

Let go of the knife.

Let go of the knife.

Madhu, run!

as*h*le, you move

and I'll slice him open.

Vasya, only four minutes are left.

Let's go.

It's the countdown to your death.

Mehboob, get them out of here.

We're not going anywhere without you.

Let's go.

Madhu, we don't have time.

Try to understand.

(yells) Mehboob bhai, Peter, go!

No, Vasya, come with us.

Madhu, I'm done running.

Let me take a stand today.

(sighs) Maybe this is my destiny.

We'll have to end this cycle.

Otherwise, tomorrow our child

will come looking for him.

(Mehboob) Let's go, Madhu.

We're running out of time.

Madhu

Not for you or me alone

Leave for us.

(voice cracks) For us

(Mehboob) Madhu, let's go.

- Go!

- Let's go, Madhu.

We're running out of time.

Go.

Breaking news.

This building is about to collapse.

(knife clatters)

(Yusuf) Manoj!

- (fireman) Move to the back.

- (Mehboob) Shazia!

Move back. Move back.

- Come

- Hurry up.

Come, child.

(Shazia) Father!

(fire crackling)

(groans)

It's all about time, my friend.

But never trust time.

(woman) Go on, son.

You'll be free of all dependencies.

(Yusuf) Time is no one's friend.

It can change at any instance.

(Ashok) Didn't I tell you?

Someday some junkie will sh**t you.

You know you are like me.

(Vardaan lady) This shall be

your blessing and curse.

In a clash of hatred,

g*ns always decide the winner.

(breathing heavily)

(Ashok) Don't become a father

like me.

Be a better father.

JANTA NAVNIRMAAN PARTY

(newsreader) Let's speak

with Inspector Rathore,

who solved this case.

(Manoj) The police were tracking

Reshma for the past few days

because, as per our information,

she was running

a drugs and human trafficking ring

using social service as a front.

Yesterday we received a tip-off

that she was coming to this building

with the children from

the Ladli Kanya Foundation.

So we intercepted her.

But the building collapsed

and all her men were k*lled.

But the children have been rescued,

and Reshma has

been arrested alive.

And we've also recovered

a bus full of drugs.

(woman) Who is behind all this?

Is it a political party?

(newsreader) Breaking news

coming in.

The police have received orders

to start a detailed investigation.

We are waiting to see who is

behind such a vast smuggling ring.

Stay with us on--

(clicks tongue)

What happened?

What

What

What happened?

Where are you going?

Bro

(goat bleating)

(dramatic music)

Brother.

Heard about the goose

that laid golden eggs?

He's the goat

that lays golden chips.

- (Vasya) I got a piece of news

- (Taaza Khabar notification)

A memory card

with bitcoins worth millions

was found in goat sh*t in Deonar.

MUMBAI: TREASURE FOUND IN GOAT'S

STOMACH IN DEONAR DUMPING GROUND

That's why we went to Deonar.

(Peter) Let's ask this goat.

(Mehboob) Don't talk nonsense.

Poor thing must be lost.

- (goat bleating)

- Leave it.

We'll make a few grand

by selling him.

Let's take him home for now.

Yusuf was watching us.

That's why I didn't

tell anyone beforehand.

As the saying goes, a person

should be good when times are bad.

But my craftiness came to my aid.

(laughs)

- (Vasant) Keep doing it.

- Do it. Julie will clean it.

(goat bleating)

Do you do this every day?

What life is this?

It started from sh*t,

and it's back to sh*t again.

Quiet. Quiet.

(suspenseful music)

(Madhu) Vasya, you are a magician.

No.

Magic is a sleight of hand.

This is a miracle.

(everyone cheering)

Yusuf is dead.

And my score

with him is settled.

Don't come after me, madam.

Because I know

what you make little girls do

in your foundation.

(mellow music)

(joyous music)

(tinkling of bangles)

Feed the children properly.

(Peter) I'll feed them and

give them food to take home.

Don't worry.

(birds chirping)

What will Vardaan do now?

He will try to become Vasant again.

(Madhu) What now?

Mansion to urinal?

(Vasya) From shade to sun.

(Madhu) What do you mean?

(vehicle approaching)

(Vasya) Shall I tell you a story?

(Madhu) That same old story?

Once there was a king and a queen.

(Vasya chuckles) No.

There was a beggar.

Weak, poor, starving.

One day, someone gave him a seed

instead of money, which he planted.

The seed turned into a tree.

- Then came fruits, flowers

- (Taaza Khabar notifications)

and shade.

(Taaza Khabar notifications beeping)

With the fragrance of the flowers,

the strength from the fruits,

and the cool shade,

the beggar turned into a king.

(Taaza Khabar notifications beeping)

Then he stopped leaving

the shade of the tree.

But eventually,

everything started to rot.

Flowers, fruits and the king.

(Taaza Khabar notification)

And do you know what happens

when you eat rotten food?

(Madhu) What?

(Vasya) Intoxication.

That tree was karma, not destiny.

(intense music)

Before my karma affects my child,

I am going to cut down that tree.

(Madhu) And will this

fix everything?

(Vasya) Maybe.

(Madhu) And where will we go

after doing all this?

(footfalls)

(phone buzzing, ringing)

(ringing continues)

BREAKING NEWS CALLING

Tell me. Where will we go?

(Vasya) Beyond our limits.

("Paisa" playing)
