Team blue! Team blue!

- Come on.

Come on.

Come on, Samar.

- Come on.

- Go, Samar.

Yes.

- Come on.

- We can do it.

Yes, Samar. Go for it.

Go, Samar.

Come on.

Arjun. Pass!

Here. Pass here.

Pass. Pass. Pass!

Pass!

Oh sh*t!

Come on.

Yes!

Better luck next time, champ.

He just didn't pass the ball.

I mean how hard is it?!

We could've won.

- Exactly.

- Kaushik.

Sim-sim, it was a great game.

Winning and losing is part and parcel

of the game.

But the point is we had fun.

Please, Mom. We lost.

What is this attitude?

It is not about winning or losing.

It is about the spirit of the game.

That is the whole point of the sport.

Mom, only idiots say that.

Hey! Don't use that language.

Who is teaching you this?

Pa.

I see.

- Ridiculous.

- Ananya.

Ananya.

- Let's go.

- What did I do now?

Ananya, wait. It's a small thing.

I will look into it, Ananya.

Ananya.

Just hold on. Ananya.

- Ananya.

- Everything is going to be fine. Okay?

She is hemorrhaging.

We have already given her 40 units.

Where the f*ck is that ultrasound report?

Give it to me, quick.

It's a sepsis infection.

It's spreading.

The overflowing water

on the road is from the sewage.

She has been in that water

for too long.

Quick, guys. Quick!

- Ananya.

- Her vitals are dropping.

I am opening her up again.

Prep the OT.

Ananya, we are in OT now. Okay?

Everything is going to be fine. Okay?

I promise.

Everything is going to be fine.

I promise.

What's wrong? All okay?

This section is closed

because of the flooding.

How come you are here?

Well I came to check whether

we have everyone covered.

Well, upon coming here I got lost.

And I ended up taking a wrong turn.

And then

You have caught me.

I came here to smoke a cigarette.

I know that the security guards

smoke over there.

So, I just went in and bumped one

from them.

- It's a bad habit. Can't help it. Crazy

- One second. When did you start smoking?

When you left me.

- Look

- Well, what are you doing here?

Hang on a minute.

I hope you haven't started

smoking too.

What! No. Not at all. I

I was

Listen.

Can we talk? Please.

Of course. Yeah.

Yeah?

- This way.

- Yes. Sure.

- Come.

- We have to pump out a lot of water

from the ground floor.

Come on, Patil. Hurry.

- Careful.

- Come.

Come.

It should not fall.

Let's go.

Suction, guys. Suction.

There is a lot of blood.

Can't find this bloody bleeder.

It's possibly the uterine artery.

No, Kaushik. f*ck!

Kaushik, you can't come here.

Listen. Listen.

We need more suction.

Otherwise, we are losing her. Please.

Kaushik, let me do my job.

- Please back off. Go.

- Please!

Guys, give me the Treimaxa injection.

Keep doing the suction.

Let's stop this.

Start inotropic support.

I I'm sorry. I'll come later.

This is so new for us.

Everybody is trying to come

to terms with it.

We need some time.

Diya. Diya, can you hear me?

Are you alright?

I have been trying your number.

I believe it's total chaos out there.

Are you okay?

No, Papa. I am okay.

Just relax.

I I want to talk to you now.

What happened?

Is everything alright?

You remember?

When I was a kid, I used to get panic

attacks before my exams.

I used to think I would fail.

Even though I was completely prepared.

And then Mamma

and then, Mamma would sing "Que Sera Sera"

to me in her beautiful voice.

And

then I used to believe

that everything is going to be alright.

I'm just feeling a little

nervous and scared now

for a while, Papa. And

and Mamma is not here.

I just feel very alone.

Diya.

Diya, I am there for you.

Everything is going to be alright.

Yes, but I also know

how alone you feel.

And I am sorry.

I am so sorry.

I have never tried

to understand you.

No.

Don't say sorry, please.

Don't say sorry.

Diya, I

I want to be there for you now.

Papa.

Let's let's start again.

Mamma used to be my best friend.

Will you be?

Yeah.

Yes, dear. Yes.

Just come home safe. Okay?

I'll I'll call you back.

Saurav, I have been thinking about us.

About us and about our life

in London.

And why I ran away.

From you.

I don't know where

that courage came from.

I'm sorry.

- I just disappeared from your life.

- Chitra, come on.

You don't need to apologize.

It's fine.

Really.

But I felt stifled

when I was with you.

I was so scared of your anger.

You know so

I had to run away.

And now, Saurav, I need to stay away.

I hope you understand.

I want a divorce, Saurav.

You b*tch!

You f*cking manipulative b*tch.

That Mirza is getting you all hot

and young again, isn't he?

Attach the pipe here.

And lower it.

- Okay?

- Okay.

- Show me the way.

- Be careful!

- It's a bloody lake out here.

- Watch it.

Here it is. Got it.

Here's the pipe.

Get down carefully.

We have to pump out so much water.

Hurry up.

- Patil.

- Yes, sir?

Shine the torch here.

Shine it.

Look! This is Ahaan sir.

- Hurry up.

- What are you saying?

- Get the stretcher.

- Okay.

Here.

You are such a sl*t.

Saurav, that's not the case at all.

This has nothing to do with Ahaan.

Oh really?

There is nothing between

the two of you?

- No.

- Oh!

Now I get it.

That is why he was showing

such ownership to you.

What?!

Yeah.

He was threatening me.

Me?

Can you imagine? Me?

I mean he must be getting something

from a needy sh*t like you.

Or he wouldn't dare to do that.

So Chitra Das, you have

got a young lover now.

Don't you?

And that f*ck wants

to protect you from me.

He was saying he was not going

to leave you.

Like really.

When did this happen?

As it is, not just me.

He can't do anything

to anyone anymore.

The f*cking piece of sh*t.

That chapter is closed now.

One minute, Saurav.

Where is Ahaan?

Did you hurt him?

You were just saying there is nothing

between the two of you.

So why are you so concerned for him?

Saurav, where is Ahaan?

Saurav, please.

There is nothing going on between me

and Ahaan. Please.

Saurav, you need to believe me.

Move! Please. Please!

Lungs are filled with water.

What happened?

I heard that Ahaan

Sir, no pulse.

Ananya, why are you not responding

to oxytocin and prostodin?

I need her hemorrhaging to stop.

What is causing it?

Is it the sepsis or the bleeder?

Can't put my finger on it.

There is no contraction also.

Suction. Suction.

Is she still cold?

- Switch to tazobactam.

- She is not responding.

We can't let her go

into septic shock. Please.

Kaushik, we have given her the

best antibiotics. The maximum level.

She is not responding to them.

Doctor.

sh*t.

She is not passing urine.

Kidneys are failing.

She is going into multi-organ failure.

- I am going to intubate her.

- No. Kaushik, no. You can't.

We'll lose her. Kaushik,

she won't be able to make it.

- We'll lose her.

- Don't

Don't say that.

Nothing's going to happen to her.

Nothing's going to happen to her.

I have promised Ananya.

Nothing will happen to her.

Nothing.

I need your help.

- Please.

- Kaushik, her condition is bad.

Please, Sandhya.

I need your help. Please.

- Kaushik, look

- Please. Please!

Okay. Let's intubate her.

Let's do it.

We are going to intubate her.

- 1, 2

- Give me gel.

3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13,

14, 15.

- All clear?

- Clear.

- Come on, Ahaan. Wake up.

- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15.

- All clear?

- Clear.

- Got a pulse?

- Yeah. Got a pulse.

Get a stretcher. Quick.

There is a chance of respiratory failure.

Put him on a ventilator.

Maintain blood sugar levels.

Drain out excess fluid.

We need to administer

hydrocortisone immediately.

- How did this happen?

- Have the OT ready.

How the hell did this happen?

- Sir.

- We have to stop the inflammation.

Dr. Chandra and Dr. Mirza were talking

just ten minutes back.

I saw them myself.

They were having an argument.

I guess.

Chitra. Where is she?

Where?

I want to help you, Saurav.

It's me.

It's me. Chitra.

Please tell me.

- I'll fix everything.

- Oh rubbish!

You will fix everything?

You fled here.

Leaving me alone.

I had to fix everything all alone.

Yes or no?

I was at fault.

I was at fault.

I said sorry.

You know me.

I mess up all the time.

I'm sorry.

Please.

Please tell me.

I really want to make

it up to you, Saurav.

I want to make it up to you

because I ran away.

Now do you mean that?

Yeah, I mean it.

I mean it.

Saurav, please.

Saurav, you are hurting me.

- I know that.

- Saurav, you are hurting me.

The phone's ringing.

- You keep trying Chitra's number.

- Yes, sir.

The symptoms are clear.

I think the trauma has resulted

in a cerebral contusion.

And possibly, edema in the brain.

- Sir.

- What?

You will have to go to OT number three.

Not now, Vidya.

Do a CT scan.

Confirm and shift him to the ICU.

- Sir.

- What?

Sir. Ananya ma'am is critical.

You have been called to OT number three.

- You. Come with me.

- Yes, sir.

Inspector Mayank.

Mr. Mayank.

I need to talk to you privately.

I need some privacy here.

This is Chitra madam's assistant.

Go with her. And help us find Chitra.

Please. Her life may be in danger.

Danger from whom?

I am afraid Dr. Chandra may harm her.

Please go.

I will tell you everything later.

Okay. Come.

- Go. You go with him.

- Okay, sir.

Madhu, why are you making

Dr. Chandra look like a villain?

Damn it.

Saurav.

Where are we going, Saurav?

Please.

You said you want

to be with me, right?

So we are going home.

We will. We will go home together.

But first, tell me where is Ahaan.

See.

- You can't be without him.

- No.

I always f*cking knew

- that you were fooling me.

- No.

- You are fooling me and nothing else.

- No.

- Come with me.

- Dr. Chandra. There you are.

Everyone is looking for you, doc.

What for? Why?

Must be for a consult on Ahaan.

See, he had a nasty accident.

Our boy's in a coma.

Severe contusion and cerebral injury.

They have just taken him

to the ICU now.

Oh, my God! I am so sorry

to hear that. Thank you, Adam.

ICU is on the top floor, right?

I'll see you around.

- Do you need me to assist?

- No. I got this man. Don't worry.

Chitra ma'am.

Chitra ma'am. Chitra ma'am!

- Have you seen Chitra ma'am?

- No, sir.

Hey!

- You are with the delegation, right?

- That's right.

Have you seen Dr. Chandra?

Yeah. Actually, they just went upstairs

to the ICU with Dr. Chitra Das.

You sealed the ground floor

because of the flooding, right?

- Yes.

- Then what do I hear from downstairs?

Saurav, please.

Please, Saurav.

Just come with me, Chitra.

Just shut up and come with me.

Chitra, be quiet and come with me. Come.

Once we are out of here, everything

is going to be alright. Alright?

Chitra ma'am.

- Chitra ma'am.

- Here.

Chitra ma'am.

- We are here in the basement.

- Chitra madam!

Chitra ma'am.

- Please, don't shout.

- Chitra madam.

- I hate hurting you. Trust me.

I hate hurting you.

Oh, I hate it.

- Chitra ma'am.

- I just need one more chance from you.

Yes?

To make this right. Trust me.

That's all I want.

It should have a second entrance.

From there. To the left.

Come. Come on.

Come out, you b*tch.

Chitra madam.

- Here.

- Madam.

I am here.

- Madam, just a minute.

- I am here.

Madam, just

- Shreya.

It's time, sir.

Ananya is in terminal.

Ananya doesn't deserve

to live like this.

You know what you need to do.

But, I

Kaushik.

Kaushik.

Ma'am.

Chitra ma'am, are you alright?

Where's Ahaan?

The CT scan results have arrived.

Cerebral contusion confirmed.

Get back. Get back.

How dare you stop me?

Don't you have brains? Get back.

Don't you have brains?!

Sir!

- Please leave.

- I know. You don't know who I am.

- This is an ICU

- Quiet!

Chitra Das,

- I am Yogesh Kulkarni.

- I know who you are.

Do you want to talk to Dr. Chandra?

Dr. Saurav Chandra is my a*usive husband.

I'll be pressing criminal charges

against him.

Time of death 6:13 a.m.

Sir

Chitra and Saurav's case.

Kulkarni needs you.

- Such is the plight

- Okay.

And feelings intense

Has the divine

Let go of you?

Forming and dissolving creases

These wishes ebb and flow

The world seems to fade away

Why did the sky shatter upon us

- If we find a shore amidst the storm

- Ma'am, please. Put the phone on silent.

We will go there

Such is the plight

And feelings intense

Queries dwell in the heart

Such is the plight, and feelings intense

Don't you understand?

You have been working here

for the last 25 years.

There is leakage everywhere.

Don't you have any brains?

Don't you get it?

Are you a doctor or what?

I'm answerable to the home minister

Damn it. Let's go. Let's leave.

Let's go. Missy is watching.

- Mr. Kulkarni.

- Don't you

Dr. Oberoi performed a leg amputation

surgery on my friend last night.

He saved his life.

When he regains consciousness his fiance,

his family, and his future

will be waiting for him.

Don't worry.

I just quit News Today.

The thing is there should be certain

honesty and integrity to work.

Even if the work is immoral.

You sacrificed your best doctor,

to save ICM's reputation.

You sent Mayank Bhat.

So that Dr. Oberoi becomes the target

and ICM gets a clean chit.

Right?

What use is ICM

if you don't have good doctors?

You went against your own doctor.

Just like my bosses.

The truth can't be denied.

Suppress it all you want

but it comes out one day.

You have a good day, sir.

Ms. Hirani.

Yes, sir.

I feel you can help me.

- Will you?

- Sure.

- Madhu.

- No.

My name is Madhusudan Subramanium.

I'm the chief medical officer

of the Bombay General Hospital.

We have been defending

Dr. Kaushik Oberoi,

the head of our trauma surgery

for the last seven months.

No one can forget the night

of 26th November.

Dr. Oberoi has been charged for

the death of Joint CP ATS

Anant Kelkar due to negligence.

That he broke the protocol.

This often happens here.

We often sidestep the protocol.

Not to lose lives but to save them.

Just as we struggled

with this unprecedented

flooding yesterday.

We broke many protocols and rules.

And saved innumerable lives.

A little girl was saved.

Death doesn't care for any class,

caste, or politics.

But a doctor's stubbornness

can avert death.

A brave young girl got

a new identity.

Thank you.

Thanks to one of our

stubborn young doctors.

This is Mrs. Fareeza Sheikh.

She is a counselor at the hospital.

Your wife?

She will come.

It will take some time.

But she will come.

The Bombay General Hospital has

a capacity of 1200 beds.

And we get 400 in-patients

every day at the least.

We have 50 resident doctors,

35 visiting consultants,

and 284 nurses and medical staff.

I head a staff of 284, Jadhav.

And I know each and every

individual's name.

I know whose child is appearing

for the boards.

Whose mother-in-law is away.

You must be wondering.

Why is Ms. Cherian being

so talkative today?

Because next time, if anyone tries

to ask for special favors

from any of my staff,

I won't talk then.

I will get him thrown in jail.

The previous day

was tough for all of us.

But just like this city,

we move forward.

Our circumstances are our identity.

And we identify with our struggles

We don't give up. We fight back

and overcome our struggles.

Sometimes complete.

Sometimes broken.

Every single day, the doctors of the

Bombay General Hospital do their jobs

over and above their self-interest

and careers.

They fulfill their duty.

Perhaps none of them has read the "Geeta".

But they understand the difference

between faith and duty very well.

At times, we get exhausted.

Then we pause.

We resuscitate.

And we bounce back.

It seems

Shore has drifted away

In each breath

Seeking solace

For the shattered

Without your embrace

Without you

Days have slipped away

Why do these moments feel

So void and empty

Come all

Let all

The divine

Touch everyone's life

Let the divine

Touch everyone's life

Let the divine

Touch everyone's life

I would like to thank

all of you first and foremost.

Thank you so much.

I have decided to withdraw

my case against Dr. Kaushik Oberoi.

I now know the truth

of the events that transpired.

With your radiance

My world is complete

Deep within

Every day adorns

Beautiful dreams

Deep within

Without you

The days have passed

Why do these moments feel

So void and empty

Let the divine

Touch everyone's life

Let the divine

Touch everyone's life

Let the divine

Touch everyone's life

Let the divine

Touch everyone's life

With your radiance

My world is complete

Deep within

Every day adorns
