02x02 - A Storm is Brewing

Post by bunniefuu »

- Dr. Oberoi, please

- Patient is critical.

- Do something, Dr. Kaushik.

- Doctor, BP is dropping.

- Apply pressure here.

- Kaushik, what are you doing?

Vidhya, clear off all the clothes.

- Dr. Kaushik, can you hear me?

- Diya!

- Try to maintain the pressure.

- Dr. Kaushik?

- Stop the bleeding.

- Dr. Kaushik?

- Sir, please do something.

- OT is not ready, sir.

Dr. Romani!

She is breathing!

We are losing her.

- Dr. Oberoi, please.

- We need to do CPR right now.

Doctor, do something.

Kaushik?

I don't know what happened.

I just froze.

Kaushik!

I don't know. I just froze.

The Oberoi Vs Kelkar case

gets an exciting twist.

Dr. Kaushik Oberoi has been accused of

medical negligence.

The court has put the decision

on hold for a week.

Who knows if Dr. Oberoi's career

will tide through this storm,

but Mumbai is certainly drowning

in the downpour.

According to the weather bureau

Santacruz has recorded 320 mm of rainfall

in the last six hours.

Low-lying areas like Hindmata,

Sion, and King Circle

are facing water logging.

Unless the rains recede,

it's advised for all

to stay safe at home.

Diya, coffee.

Diya?

Are you okay?

Yes, thanks.

How are the father and daughter doing?

The father's doing okay,

but Saba is critical.

She needs immediate surgery.

Wonder what's wrong with Dr. Kaushik.

How can he

He could've saved her mother.

Sujata, try to understand!

It's not easy for him.

That man is worried about his court case.

His career is at stake!

He didn't have a choice over there.

He's just stuck.

Choice?

We have no choice but to save lives.

- It's our job.

- Sujata, Ahaan is right.

Dr. Oberoi is going through a lot.

It's a stressful situation

and before you blame him,

just try and understand that it's

Who'd understand his situation

better than you, right?

Sujata

You're the reason he's in this mess.

You had to testify in his favor,

but you turned hostile.

It's not fair, Sujata.

You're inferring

The lawyers!

They brought up my mom.

They asked what would I want

Dr. Kaushik to do

if my mother was

there instead of Kelkar.

Do you ever consider others’ perspectives?

Lawyers?

You were to testify as a doctor,

not a daughter!

But the question was directed

to a daughter, not a doctor.

Please, Diya!

Don't justify yourself, please!

- Please!

- Sujata, why are you both

You always say,

you forget your name while in

Bombay General Hospital.

- What happened then?

- Sujata

No, Ahaan. Wait a minute.

I know it's difficult

to tell the difference

but you said you'll manage,

then why didn't you?

Enough, Sujata. Sujata, forget it!

Ahaan!

You alone shall be responsible

for Dr. Kaushik Oberoi's fate.

Sujata, you

Diya, listen.

She's really hassled with Saba's case.

And even you are not okay.

I'm not okay?!

Guys, please.

I'm not okay?

And that's why I f*cked up in court?

I'm unable to manage things

without Mom.

- Diya, listen

- Screw you, Ahaan!

You'd want to know

if I restarted therapy.

Of course, I do. So?

Did you restart therapy?

It's too late.

I have ruined whatever I could.

f*ck! Forget it.

Diya

Hello? Hello.

Hello, Ananya can you hear me?

Hello? Can you hear me?

ONLY AUTHORIZED PERSON

Sign here.

Kaushik.

Oh, God! Are you alright?

Kaushik, I was thinking

why don't you go home?

Just take it easy

until the verdict is out.

I can't be here anymore.

What do you mean?

I'm already struggling with this case.

I stay up all night worrying

about the future.

I had faith that I did my best.

But today

I never doubted my instinct but

today

I don't know what happened.

I could've saved her, right?

Guess I don't deserve to

be a trauma surgeon anymore.

Kaushik.

Why are you saying such things?

I've been tolerating you for ten years.

I've been dodging complaints against you,

because I trust your instinct.

Almost every decision that

you've made under pressure

Almost!

That's not how I meant it, Kaushik.

A man's one wrong move wipes off

all his good decisions.

Nothing else matters.

Did you see the poll?

73 percent of people say

that I am guilty.

73 percent?

What does that even mean, Kaushik?

Was anyone of those people

present in the ER that day?

The judge wasn't there either.

The one who'll pass the verdict

in three days.

What about that?

I'm really sorry.

You tried to convince me.

I should've listened to you.

Had you done that,

I'd have fired you long ago!

Yeah.

Before you leave,

sign off the RTA patient's report.

Farzana.

Her name

Farzana.

DR. KAUSHIK OBEROI

- Ananya.

- Kaushik.

- Oh, finally got you.

- Thank God!

You're okay?

I couldn't hear you earlier.

Don't worry, I'm fine. I just Kaushik.

I'm headed home, not Pune.

Why? Are you feeling alright?

I'm fine, don't worry.

Look at the downpour!

I'm not going to make it in time anyway

so I just

you know, thought I might as well cancel.

That's a good idea.

Just go home and I'll see you there.

You said there's some UK delegation,

and you have to be there.

Yeah, they're here but

Romani and Chitra are managing it

pretty well.

So, I don't think they need me.

Kaushik, is something wrong?

Did someone say something?

Kaushik, are you okay?

Kaushik, are you fine?

Yeah, I'm fine, Ananya.

On a day like today, the Head

of Trauma Surgery is not required!

How am I supposed to believe this?

Something is surely up.

- Tell me what happened at least then I

- No, Ananya.

- Sort

- Nothing happened.

Just regular monsoon chaos.

I don't know, Kaushik.

You're being very strange right now.

Ananya, I

Okay, listen,

I think someone is calling me.

You reach home and I'll call you, okay?

- Yeah coming. Bye.

- Okay, just

- Try and stay in touch.

- Bye.

Ma'am!

They're just checking all your dubs

and they'll take around 20 minutes.

Okay, but they'll play

Anant's special today, right?

The verdict has been delayed

Mansi is just sorting that out.

You can wait in the cabin.

Okay.

Ma'am, tea or coffee?

We've worked on this for seven months.

It’s a freaking doc, not just a piece.

We can present it in court

before the verdict.

We're India's number-one

Hindi news channel, why?

Because we do stories with heat.

And right now the heat is on the rains.

Mumbai's f*cking drowning.

That's all anybody cares about,

and I need my star anchor

to buck up and move on.

What about Mrs. Kelkar?

She's counting on us.

It's our job to make sure

she gets justice.

You know what?

I'm not going to let you do this.

Hey!

Let me? You're not going to let me?

Yeah, I guess I am.

- Where's Nitin?

- He's inside.

Okay. Nitin!

Ma'am just five minutes. She’ll be here.

- Move!

- Move aside.

Second-degree, deep 25% burns. Parekh!

- Parekh!

- Yes, Mrs. Cherian.

Hurry up.

Merly, prepare the ECG.

Get the dressing trolley here.

- Hurry up.

- Ma'am, this way.

Apply silver sulfadiazine cream,

- I'll start debridement.

- What's the patient's name?

- Quick. Begin it, hurry.

- Sandeep, and age?

- 17.

- And his blood group?

- BP is dropping. Parekh!

- B positive.

B positive, okay. Come here.

Come, they'll treat him.

- Please take him along.

- Ma'am, please wait out.

- Yeah.

- What happened?

Ask the mother if he's a user.

We'll need a sign-off from Dr. Romani.

It's a drug abuse case

so it can get complicated.

Thank you for telling me

how I should go about my job.

It's very helpful.

Sorry, it's protocol. I was just talking

to myself. Sorry.

I've been working here for 22 years.

I know what to say.

I don't forget things under pressure.

And I also know

when I should keep shut.

Understood?

Chitra ma'am has asked for the reports

for admitting the patient.

- Okay.

- It's my patient, not Ahaan's.

Why ask him?

Please get back to work.

Hello, guys. Attend to

your patients. Continue.

- Look

- Listen, Dr. Parekh will give the reports.

Just do the tests she'll write down.

And take Chitra ma'am's permission.

Okay?

It happens sometimes under pressure.

Alright?

Okay, I'll handle it.

Thanks.

Good.

Ma'am.

What happened on his way back

from college?

He took a shortcut.

Our society's meter room has two doors.

There was a short circuit

because of the leakage.

I see.

Any other ailments or medicine?

Nothing at all.

Okay. Drugs?

I didn't inform his Dad.

I better tell him we're in the hospital.

Just a minute.

I'll speak to him.

Sure. Keep me posted. Okay.

Chitra ma'am!

- Chitra ma'am?

- Yeah.

Dr. Parekh wrote down these tests.

I need your signatures.

Yes. Do it.

Get Sandeep a bed in the burns unit.

I'll be there.

Okay, I'll do that.

I don't know why,

and how you came here.

There’s no point in asking.

- I don't want

- Listen, doctor.

Please.

Let's not make this personal, alright?

I had no idea Chitra's here.

We haven't spoken in years.

There was no way to contact her.

I know I was wrong.

I realize that.

Oh, do you? Really?

Dr. Subramaniam

I realized a lot of things in therapy.

I know I've given her hell

and I feel awful about it.

And I'm as shocked

to see her here as she is.

If you want, I can leave.

A very smart move, Dr. Chandra.

Do you think I can ask you to leave?

Don't try anything.

I'm here.

Watching you.

Okay fine. Hurry up.

Sorry, madam.

It was important.

What were you saying? Drugs?

Never did drugs.

Okay. We need all information

for the report.

Can I meet him, ma'am?

- Ma'am?

- Yes.

Thank you.

Marriage?

You'll move to the UK after marriage!

What about your studies?

Your MBBS degree?

Are you sure about this, Chitra?

Saurav is a doctor.

Why doesn't he get it?

Mom, Saurav will go to London.

I know what I'm doing.

Saurav said I can continue

my studies there.

Chitra, have I ever lied to you?

No, right?

Trust me,

we'll get a lot of opportunities there.

No, tomorrow's not possible.

Saurav's coming tomorrow.

Okay, you let me know.

Sheila, I'll call you back.

Saurav! You were going to be back

tomorrow, right?

I went shopping.

Have you eaten?

Children's Aid Society?

Was Sheila here?

- Actually

- Why didn't you tell me?

- Couldn't explain on the phone.

- Exactly.

Why didn't you tell me over the phone?

What was the problem?

Just, I thought I'll

I know what the problem was.

I know

you must've bitched me out again.

- Saurav

- I'm sure you said

I won't let you finish your MD degree.

I won't let you work and stuff.

Right?

- No

- Right?

Tell me something, Chitra.

What do you get by blaming me

for your incapabilities?

Why make me the villain?

Moreover, you lie about it!

I swear, I wasn't lying.

I just told her

you don't want me to get stressed,

hence you stop me.

I stop you?

Not stop, but

What else do I do for us?

Do you ever share that with others?

All you say is that I stop you!

How typical is that, Chitra?

And you know, right? I hate lies.

- I detest lies.

- I wasn't lying.

When I asked on the phone

if you had a visitor,

why did you lie?

You could've just told me, right?

I'm sorry, I promise

I won't do that again. Please

Think really well about

what you'll do next time.

- You'll need to give this a good thought.

- No

- Come. Listen to me, I'm right here.

- No, please!

- I'll be right outside, come.

- Please!

- No!

- Come, come.

- Please, no!

- Stop making a scene, Chitra.

- Just a little while.

- No, please.

- I am right outside. Come on.

- No!

Chitra ma'am.

Chitra ma'am.

Come in.

- Chitra ma'am?

- Yeah.

There are two patients

Nirmala Tilak and Sandesh Apte.

The accounts department needs

your signature for their funding.

Okay, I'll go.

- And give me the files.

- Yes.

Still awaiting previous approvals

and now this

Ask Vidya what happened

to those diarrhea patients.

Sure, ma'am.

I'll just check and get back.

I can hear you now.

Cyril is not to be found.

We looked all over.

We need your help.

I'm stuck on the highway.

- I'll text you her address.

- Okay.

What?

- That was Jacob.

- What's wrong?

Cyril is missing.

Have you lost it?

He must be around somewhere.

No, it's pouring and Jacob is in Nashik.

Cyril was with his grandma

but now he's missing.

He asked me to help.

It's a child.

You know how naughty he is.

Go check

You guys can take a holiday.

I'll manage here.

I'll handle Cherian.

I am the only one who has to work, right?

Just go!

Brother, please try to understand.

Vidya, try to understand one thing,

here are three nurses waiting

for the spot.

If you are unable to manage,

I'll give that spot to someone else.

I'm trying my level best

to arrange the money.

Just give me one last chance.

Do whatever it takes,

this is your last chance, that's it!

- Chitra ma'am,

- Yeah.

Kulkarni sir said your interview with

the delegation will be in the VIP room.

- Oh.

- I'll get that confirmed?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

- Hi, Chitra.

- Hi.

- Hi. Yeah.

- Hi.

- What happened?

- You're looking for someone?

No, the delegation is there.

- It's just the interview

- Delegation went that way.

- Oh!

- They went here. This side.

Okay. Actually, I need some papers

from the office.

Chitra, the ER is full.

Wonder how we'll manage.

I think it's going to be okay.

We'll manage.

Dr. Kaushik has not been seen

since morning, but

- I hope he's fine.

- Yeah.

Listen, I was wondering

about the tickets

- Tickets?

- Yeah, I'd asked you.

- What?

- Movie ticket.

- I asked you. Yeah.

- Tickets?

Ahaan, have you nothing better to do?

I mean

Doctor.

Sir.

Sir, Saba Rahimtullah,

the eight-year-old

has brain swelling

and a possible hematoma.

We need to monitor

her neurological parameters

and ICB needs to be under check.

Yeah, I know.

If it's subdural or extradural hematoma,

craniectomy will be required

at some point.

At some point?

What some point, sir?

She has no time!

We have to act.

We?

Dr. Wadia won't make it in this weather.

Look at these scans.

We don't need to do anything, Sujata.

We don't need to do anything.

She's not our responsibility anymore.

Responsibility?

What's wrong with you, sir?

The mother is dead.

We can at least save the girl.

As I said earlier,

she's Dr. Wadia's patient.

Are you leaving?

Yes, I came for the delegation,

but now I'm done.

So

ask Wadia or Romani to sign on it.

I don't work for Dr. Romani, sir.

Dr. Kaushik Oberoi,

head of trauma, Bombay General Hospital.

You're my superior.

I mean

so far you were.

Sir.

This yours.

Vidya, have you seen Dr. Subramaniam?

Must be at his PR game

with the UK doctors.

That's all he does.

Vidya, RTA Farzana

Rahimtullah's death report.

Who says that? Death report?

- It's just

- It's just a patient's report.

- Death report?

- Thank you.

Wow!

I see that doctored reports

are not only reserved for star doctors!

What are you doing? I'll land in a soup.

What?

- Why

- She's also a star doctor only.

Haven't you seen her grandfather's statue

in the lobby?

You did, right?

- Dr. Parekh, she didn't

- Yes, Dad.

Can I just call you in a bit?

I'm a little tied up with something.

Yeah! Diya, listen.

- Diya, I'm also leaving the clinic.

- No, Dad. I'll call

There's water logging everywhere.

Listen dear, I want to say one more thing.

I'm really sorry for asking you

to change hospitals.

I'm really sorry about that.

I'm sure everyone at BGH understands.

In spite of the court case and everything,

I'm sure everyone has been supportive.

Yes, Dad, they have.

I'll see you later, okay?

- Diya, I'll see you at dinner. Okay, bye.

- Yeah.

It's raining relentlessly

and there's water logging

all over Mumbai.

Traffic woes have worsened

during rush hour.

There's a 25 km long jam

on the Western Express Highway.

Nitin, I cannot believe you're wasting

any more time on this.

- Mansi?

- What?

Don't you understand?

No one cares about Kelkar anymore.

It's a dead f*cking story,

just like her husband.

How dare you!

- How can you say that?

- How dare I?

Do you think we'll listen

- to anything you say?

- Just take it easy.

- You don't have the guts

- Calm down.

Calm down.

Calm down.

Mansi, Mallika is right.

We made this story.

Exactly!

We took an insignificant incident

and made it into breaking f*cking news!

- Please tell me you get that, Mansi!

- No!

No, I don't get it.

Because my story still has potential.

I spent a lot of time babysitting her.

I mean what the hell do

you expect me to tell Mrs Kelkar?

What do you expect me to tell her?

Nothing!

Mrs. Kelkar!

Mrs. Kelkar!

Mrs. Kelkar!

Mrs. Kelkar, I'm really sorry. I

- Move

- That's not what I meant, Mrs. Kelkar.

Please give me a chance to explain!

Mrs. Kelkar, please. Please.

What did you just say?

The story still has potential.

Do human beings not count?

It's not like that. I was

just trying to explain to Mallika

Many people told me innumerable times,

that ultimately they turn

you into a story. Just a story.

I refused to believe that. Why?

Because you always gave me a feeling

you won't let that happen.

This won't happen to me.

You won't let that happen to me!

But you did exactly that.

Anant is just a story for you

but for me, he was my life.

My whole life.

You used my life,

and sentiments

for ratings!

And for this Mansi Hirani

I'll never forgive you.

Never.

Hello, Riaz brother?

Hello?

Maharashtra is completely under a deluge.

The relief has turned disastrous.

Streets are flooded with water.

The rainwater has risen up to four feet.

Rain disasters have become common

in Mumbai now.

Changes seem to be impossible now.

You said you can help.

Yes. Have it.

- No.

- Have one.

Have you witnessed such rains before?

Uprooted trees and poles, traffic jam.

Water logging all over.

Medicines will be in great demand

across all hospitals.

Insane demand!

Understood?

No.

Look

Give me the medicine

I ask you to get.

Meaning?

Steal it?

No!

What "no"?!

It'll be given to patients only.

Be it here or some other hospital.

How does it matter?

The only thing is

you and I will make some money out of it.

Think and let me know.

I'm in no hurry, you are

Are you in a hurry?

Take your time. I don't mind.

Want?

No.

Rescue operations are on.

The BMC workers

Vidya.

What were you discussing with Jadhav?

Nothing.

He asked

- he asked about

- Mrs. Cherian,

I had a request.

Please change my superior.

Maybe to someone like Dr. Ajawale

You're with Dr. Parekh, right?

What's the problem?

There's no problem I just feel

Dr. Ajawale is better suited for me.

And Dr. Parekh is a little entitled.

- Meaning?

- Meaning?

Come on, you saw her this morning.

She couldn't even stabilize the patient.

Who are you to decide

which doctor is good or bad?

Do you know how many people

Dr. Parekh helped during the attack?

And that day she lost her mother.

Yet she's here doing her job.

The day you achieve half

of Dr. Parekh's revival rate,

come see me. Now you can leave.

You can't speak to me like that,

Mrs. Cherian.

Do you have a mobile?

Give.

That's Dr. Subramaniam's number.

He's the CMO of the hospital.

Call him and ask him,

if I can speak to you like this or not.

Call.

You may leave now.

Where's Samarth?

Yes, Vidya.

Found Cyril?

No, Vidya, I haven't reached yet.

I guess I'll have to swim in these waters!

Samarth, if you don't come back,

Cherian will drown you in a bucket!

- Hello?

- Hello?

Hello

I'm trying to call for so long.

Diya!

Cherian ma'am is looking for you.

Please come.

Parekh!

Didn't Vidya tell you

that I sent asked you?

Farzana's report.

I signed it already.

I know.

Only Dr. Kaushik is left to sign it.

Get it signed by him.

Ask someone else to do it.

Why?

Because Mrs. Cherian I know

what you're trying to do.

Why are you still here then?

Do as I say. I know best.

Take.

We handled 200 patients that day.

Sorry. Sorry.

It's not allowed here. Sorry.

- It's quarantined.

- Isn't that the same girl who's involved

- in the hospital case. Right there.

- Please don't go there.

Dr. Subramaniam will meet you there.

- She can't be going.

- Yeah.

Come with me.

Well, this is Farzana's RTA report.

I need your signatures.

Pen

Yesterday in the court

you got cornered, Parekh.

You did.

I wish I could bring her back.

What I felt this morning

You know when was the

last time I felt the same?

It was with Mrs. Parekh.

Your mom.

I wish I could've done something.

It's been months since then,

and we just avoid looking and conversing.

We're ignoring each other.

It's not a healthy sign.

We should fix this, right?

Parekh!

Farzana!

I'm sorry.

Everyone's saying you could've saved her.

No.

It was too late.

It wasn't late.

You alone could've saved her, Dr. Oberoi.

- I was saying

- I've seen you

bring people back from the dead.

Suction from a cold drink straw,

with no OT available,

you cauterized a ruptured

artery in the middle

of the ER without any equipment.

Yet you say you couldn't have done this?

Trust me, this hospital

and I tried our best.

Sir!

There was time then, there is time now.

- Please look at this report

- Enough!

Enough.

You're way out of line.

I'm really sorry.

- Yeah, Ananya? Hello, yeah?

- Hello?

- Kaushik, can you hear me?

- Ananya, can you hear me?

- Hello, Kaushik?

- Ananya, can you hear me?

Where have you reached?

I'm somewhere near Sion.

Some Sion Circle,

we were there about half an hour ago.

And we've taken some

- wrong turn.

- Where's Ghanshyam?

Ghanshyam

Hello, Ananya?

- Are you in pain? Hello!

- Kaushik!

Ghanshyam has gone ahead somewhere.

What happened?

Madam, please come out.

Water is filling in.

No!

Listen to me, Ananya!

Don't open the door, okay?

Come what may don't step out.

- Step out, madam.

- Open the door?

No, don't! Hello?

Are you sure, Kaushik?

I can't walk.

- Hello, can you hear me?

- I don't want to, Kaushik.

Listen to me, don't move, okay?

Don't step out of the car.

You're sure, right?

I'm opening it.

Ananya!

Hello, Ananya!

Water. Kaushik, water.

- There's so much water.

- Ananya?

Can you hear me?

What's happening? Just tell me. Ananya.

Kaushik, can you I can't.

The car is filling up with water.

Ananya, hello?

Someone, help me.

Hello? Ananya! Hello?

Hello?

Ananya!
