Marzi (2020) s01e01 Episode Script

How did the exam go?
- Good.
Did Shadan give you the money?
- Not yet.
He is never going to.
Hello, ma'am. Are you back
from your bicycle ride? - Yes.
Should I lift your bicycle?
You ask the same question every day,
and you get the same answer. No.
Let me lift it.
I'll help you.
Ma'am!
Nitin?
Tea?
I
I came to return the keys.
Some of my stuff is
How was your morning ride?
The hills haven't changed.
Wait.
This is yours.
Are we returning everything
we gave each other in these three years?
You gave this to me when we got engaged.
Since we are going back
to being friends
Alright.
The next time,
please call before you come here.
I'll take your leave.
Don't forget. Okay?
I'm sixteen years old, dad.
I'm not six.
I can take care of myself.
You should worry about yourself.
Yes, that's what I am doing.
You are so dramatic!
By the way, I've noticed that you
were cool as long as mom was alive.
Your work, the hospital,
and taking care of me
is taking a toll on you.
Are you saying I've gone crazy?
You never know.
You'll understand when you will be a dad.
Good day, dad!
Duffer!
Duggu!
Duggu! Darn!
These little joys make it worth
having kids. Right?
It's okay. I'll give it to him.
I can't handle one.
How do you handle so many?
The local stuff helps.
Nice.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
- I meant
Thanks for helping Duggu.
I mean Ayaan.
The move from Mumbai to here
wasn't easy for him.
I'm sure.
Is he fine now?
How about you?
My sister told you. Of course!
Why didn't she announce
my break-up on the radio?
It has a wider reach.
Operations generally go on for very long.
And we don't have much to talk about.
We just happened to talk about you.
And she knows that when it
comes to you, I am very
I mean
You know
So, you are fine.
Yes. I'm fine.
- Then
If you are fine
Can we
Can we have
dinner some time?
Just dinner.
But there's no hurry.
Sure.
Have a good day. Bye.
- Bye.
Go on! Hit it!
Ma'am, I was just stretching.
- Is that so?
All that exercise will
make you hungry. Right?
Your dad sent it. He said I should
give it to someone called Duggu.
That's a cute name. Duggu!
Duggu!
- Duggu!
Hi, Duggu!
Duggu!
Yes. - So, that's how
you answer your phone now!
What's wrong?
Everyone has been getting on
my nerves since morning.
First, it was Kisan.
Then the milkman, and lastly, Nitin.
Everyone is pushing my buttons.
Nitin is a thing of the past now.
Or are you guys together again?
No way!
Then move on!
Dr Anurag Saraswat.
Come on, Sameera. Anurag likes you.
And he will like you until he finds
out what you're really like.
Show him your crazy side once.
And he is a doctor. He can handle it.
He is not a psychiatrist.
He's a heart surgeon.
I know. But in medical school,
doctors are taught everything
about the human body.
I'm sure he knows how the brain works.
Listen.
Anurag asked me out.
- And?
And that's it. Nothing else.
Don't be stupid.
If he asked you out,
say yes. Right away!
If you don't say yes,
I'll say it for you. Okay?
Listen Listen!
Let go of your stress.
The stress caused by the grief
of losing your wife.
Let it all go.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Focus.
Focus, doctor
- Excuse me.
I'm trying.
Doctor, you need to relax.
I need this as well.
You can look at your phone later.
- 'Dinner tomorrow night?'
This shouldn't wait.
'I'm busy tomorrow.'
'Can we meet tonight?'
Anurag, your patient is here.
Sameera?
Make sure you treat her right.
Or else, you'll have me to answer to!
Come on!
Hurry up.
Hi, Isha. Tell me.
Make sure you dress up a little.
Don't dress as if you're
going to a funeral.
You are more excited than I am!
I believe in showing my excitement,
and you believe in hiding it.
No. It's just that it's been long
since I went out on a date.
You know, with Nitin, it was just
Forget about Nitin. You guys
broke up two months ago.
Move on.
Anurag is a good guy.
He is a doctor.
You seem to be ready to officiate
our wedding!
Sameera, you are thirty years old.
'How long will you stay single?'
'You should have been
married by now.'
'People will gossip about you!'
Isha, you sound just like
mom and dad sometimes.
I know. I'm sorry,
I feel responsible for you.
I won't do that.
Send me a text when
you reach home. Okay? Bye.
Hi!
- Hi.
S Sorry.
It's okay.
Please.
- Yeah.
Hi.
Anurag Saraswat.
Hi. Sameera Chauhan.
Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you too.
'Anurag Saraswat:
Thanks for last night.'
'Anurag Saraswat:
Thanks for last night.'
Hi, doctor. How did
the operation go last night?
After Barkha's demise,
she is the first girl that I am seeing.
Are you seeing her?
Or have you already seen all of her?
Just shut up.
Sameera!
What happened? Come in.
What's wrong?
Last night, Anurag
Anurag came home after dinner and
What happened?
Something happened.
But I can't remember.
I didn't do anything
to take things forward.
I really like her.
She is a good girl.
Tell me exactly what happened.
Anurag came
I can't remember
But I am sure something happened.
Do you remember
anything about last night?
I can't remember anything clearly.
Did you drink something?
It's not because of the drinks.
I know. I'm just trying
to figure out what happened.
How many drinks did you have?
I just had two or three glasses of wine.
Did you explicitly say no?
When he tried to
We kissed and
I think I told him
that I didn't want to go further.
I never consented to it.
Sameera.
You are accusing him of a crime,
but you can't even remember
what happened.
Look. It's possible
that nothing of that sort happened.
As you know, when we are drunk,
everything seems hazy.
Perhaps, you drank
more than you think you did.
My memory might be hazy,
but the reality isn't!
Anurag Saraswat has raped me.
Sameera
You've got to finish the story, man!
How did it end? Tell me.
I will surely tell you.
- Yes.
Tell me.
Stop overthinking it.
- Why?
Anurag doesn't seem
to be that kind of guy.
We have been working together
for three years now. I'm sure
he couldn't have done anything
without your consent.
Sameera, are you sure
you were not too drunk?
I was drunk, yes! I was drunk, but
Even if I weren't drunk,
this would be called rape.
Because I did not consent to it!
I did not want to sleep
with Anurag Saraswat. Okay?
Okay.
You have known Anurag
for only three years.
But you've known me for thirty years.
And you still don't believe me?
Of course, I believe you, Sameera.
But you said it yourself
that you don't remember it clearly.
And you drank three glasses of wine!
You can't even handle one.
How long has it been since
you've gone off your medication?
Do you expect me to have
the answers to all the questions?
Why doesn't anyone ask
Anurag questions? Why?
Is it because he's a doctor?
And I'm a woman who drinks
and invites a man to her house?
Actually, you know what, you're right.
I am in the wrong.
Because I drank 3 glasses of wine
and 2 glasses of brandy.
I want to go to the police station.
Think about it, Sameera.
It won't be easy, Sameera.
So, doctor, what's your plan now?
Nothing. I just want to meet her again.
I've sent her a message.
I'm awaiting her response.
I became a doctor just like that.
Really?
- Yes.
What do you mean by 'just like that'?
I mean,
ever since I was a child,
I wanted to become an actor.
- Actor?
And then?
Well, everyone looks at himself
in the mirror and sees Shah Rukh Khan.
That's true.
But when I cleaned the mirror,
I saw the reality.
But Actor!
But, you know, the reality isn't so bad.
You can't find out the reality so soon.
If you jump to conclusions so quickly,
you'll get into trouble. I'm telling you.
And getting out of trouble
is an old habit of mine.
Okay.
How old?
Since childhood.
I can't talk right now.
Who was raped?
- Sir
What's your age?
- 30.
Yours or hers?
- Sir
Husband's name?
- I'm not married.
Do you live alone?
She lives near my house.
I live with my family.
And do you suspect the man
you went out for dinner with?
Anurag Saraswat.
I don't suspect him. I'm sure.
Anurag Saraswat raped me.
The surgeon at Vedant Hospital.
He operated on Mr Sharma. - I see.
Listen. Whether Dr Saraswat
raped you or not
can only be confirmed
after a medical check-up.
Ma'am, do you have any proof?
- No.
Did anyone see you scream
or see you fight him?
- No.
Okay. Do you have any wounds,
scars or marks? Anything at all?
No! I don't remember anything. Please!
There was no fight.
Maybe
Maybe I screamed. I don't remember.
That's unbelievable, ma'am.
You don't remember your own rape.
What are you saying, sir?
Sir, why don't you believe me?
Please write the FIR.
Miss Chauhan, we can't write the FIR
without investigating the matter first.
You have no witness and no proof.
You don't even remember anything.
Please believe me. I've been raped.
Here's the thing. In matters like these,
we have to adhere to the law strictly.
Go to a government hospital
and get your medical check-up done.
Only then can we write the report.
Please take her along.
- Yes, sir.
Ma'am, come with me.
Cool! So, here I am.
This is it.
Thank you very much.
I really had a lot of fun with you.
Thank you so much for walking me home.
I like to walk.
So Good night, I guess.
Good night.
- Take care.
Oh, damn it!
What happened?
- Nothing.
My phone is dead.
- Oh.
I was hoping to call a cab.
You can charge your phone at my place.
No, thanks.
It's quite late. It's okay.
It's okay. I can handle it.
Are you sure?
Yes. Come on.
Come on, it's okay.
Here. Have this.
- What is it?
It's a contraceptive pill, ma'am.
I think he used a condom.
Did you hear that? 'He used a condom.'
Here, hold this.
The final report will take some time to be
ready. We can't say anything until then.
But, doctor, I've already told you
that I didn't want to sleep with him.
Ma'am, how are we supposed to know
what you wanted to do?
But there are no signs of assault
on your body.
How many times do I have to tell you
that he did force himself upon me?
Ma'am, don't shout. This is a hospital.
Carry out the test again!
Examine me again!
You're being unreasonable.
We have to carry out the test
as per your sample.
And ma'am, you shouldn't have bathed
before coming here.
You shouldn't do anything that might
wipe out the evidence. Do you understand?
I didn't know. The next time around,
I won't bathe.
Ma'am, you're being too dramatic.
This kind of behaviour works
only in the movies.
You expect me to believe that the rapist
was walking around with a condom?
The real rape victims are helpless.
And here, you're accusing important people
of rape just to get them into trouble.
Sir, the police want to see you.
Yes? How can I help you?
Sir, actually, we have received
a complaint against you.
A certain Sameera Chauhan has lodged it.
You're accused of rape.
Sameera Chauhan has accused me of rape?
That's impossible.
I'm sure there's been a misunderstanding,
inspector. I mean Rape?
Sir, you must come to the police station.
We have some questions.
Inspector, it's true that we were
together last night, but it was
To call it rape is
I don't think so.
Sir, you have to come
to the police station. Please cooperate.
May I change?
- Yes.
How long will this take?
Since this piece is yellow, it has to go
next to the yellow one, right?
Very good. Place it there.
Where will this one go?
Think about it.
Hey! Mom is here!
Aunt!
Did you bring chocolate for me?
Tia, finish your jigsaw puzzle first.
After that, we will have hot chocolate.
What's wrong with her?
It's quite cold tonight, isn't it?
- Yes.
Can I have some hot water to drink?
Actually, I have some brandy.
I mean, it will take some time
for the phone to be charged.
Your cab isn't here. So
Only if you want it.
Yes. Okay.
Okay. The brandy is in that cabinet.
- Yes.
I'll get the glasses.
What kind of brandy is this? Herbal?
That's not brandy!
- I'm kidding.
Sorry.
- Where is it?
The second shelf.
- Yes.
Okay, here
Could you make a drink for me too?
- Of course.
Hot water, please.
- Oh, sorry. I forgot.
Yes.
- Here you go.
Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Is this much enough?
Why are we playing such boring music?
Do you like old music?
Do you not like it?
I find it alright.
But I like this one better.
What's the matter?
Listen. I
I will go to your house and bring
all your things, okay?
You should stay here until
this matter is over.
Everything will be alright.
It's okay, my dear.
Everything will be okay.
I already told you that I
can't meet you right now.
Excuse me. Please wait outside.
After that, we drank brandy. And
Then she went to her room for something.
I waited outside.
My cab was taking time to arrive, so
After that, you know
Do I have to tell you explicitly?
I'm sorry, sir, but you must
give us all the details. All of it.
After that,
we had dinner. After dinner, we
We drank red wine.
Then we drank another
glass of brandy. And
After that
Well, you know the drill.
Sir, please give us all the details.
It's a legal matter. All the details.
Well, one thing led to another, and
We
We went to Sameera's room, and
Sir, please give us all the details.
Don't leave anything out.
What happened after that?
Sir, after that, we
We went to Sameera's
We were on Sameera's bed.
Were you on top or at the bottom?
Yes.
Were you on top or at the bottom?
Answer the question, sir.
I was on top.
Did you force yourself upon
Sameera Chauhan?
I did not force myself on anyone, sir.
Whatever happened between us
was consensual.
I just don't know how to prove it.
She claims that she said no to you.
Ma'am, had she said no to me,
why would I force myself on her?
If she had any objection,
when I went to get the condom,
she could have - Hold on. One minute.
What do you mean by you went to get
the condom? Did you go to a shop?
No, sir. Sameera told me that
the condoms were in her bathroom.
She had condoms in her own bathroom?
What I don't understand is,
if Sameera did have an objection,
why was she waiting for me until
I went and got the condom?
Why did she not indicate anything?
I wouldn't have even touched her.
Sir, I haven't raped anyone.
And why would I rape someone, sir?
Sameera did not refuse even once.
She didn't give me even
the slightest hint.
And now
Please, sir.
Please believe me. I'm innocent.
It's just a misunderstanding.
Sameera, parathas?
No. Thanks. - Are you
Are you going to work?
I find staying at home suffocating.
So, I thought I'd just
Sameera, please stay home for a few days.
Isha,
what will she do at home?
At least she'll stay busy
if she goes to work.
So why did Lata not come?
I don't know why she didn't come.
Don't worry. I'll eat something.
Hi, mom. He's right.
There's no need for you to worry.
Today, I will fill in for Lata and cook.
I'll talk to you later, mom.
I've got a lot of work. Bye.
So, you came home late last night?
Yes. Something urgent came up
at the hospital last night.
It happens.
- But it shouldn't.
Your school is your responsibility,
and you are my responsibility.
And we both can never fail
at our responsibilities. Never.
Great. But if I'm late to school today,
Miss Sameera will definitely
deduct my marks.
See you.
- Yes.
And whoever refuses to follow our orders
will face terrible consequences.
Ayaan, get down.
Look at her audacity!
She's giving orders to Emperor Shah Jahan!
The court is adjourned!
Ayaan, I say, get down right now!
Emperor Shah Jahan's orders are being
disobeyed- Ayaan!
Get down!
Go to the principal's office. Right now!
This is the school! This is not your home
where you could do whatever you want!
But, ma'am, we were just playing
- Out!
And you all! Put all this back!
Okay. Take a guess.
Which one of these is me?
It's not so difficult.
This one?
- That's right!
In this photo, I'm 11,
and my sister Isha is 13.
Isha's teeth made her look like a witch.
Be careful, mister. Otherwise,
you'll have to deal with a witch.
Is that why you came to stay with
the witch after your parents' death?
Well, nothing can replace a family.
And Isha is family.
That's true.
- Yes.
You are lucky that you
at least have a home.
I just stay in a building
made of bricks and cement.
Oh. I'm
I'm sorry.
- It's okay.
What are you doing here?
Sameera, please.
I don't understand
what problem you have with me.
Whatever problem you have,
please talk to me, and we'll sort it out.
But please, don't take
your anger out on Ayaan.
You're asking what problem
I have with you?
Sameera
Do you really think that I forced
myself upon you that night?
You know the truth.
I thought that I knew the truth.
But, clearly, I was wrong.
See. I'm really, really sorry.
And I mean it.
I'm sorry if something happened
between us in the heat of the moment.
But if you hadn't consented to it,
I wouldn't have even touched you.
Stop it. Just stop it.
- It's possible, Sameera
I totally understand. It's possible
that you wanted to say no.
But you did not say no.
- Stop it!
This is a misunderstanding between us.
Let's sort this out!
A misunderstanding? Get out.
Sameera, please.
- Get out!
You know quite well what happened
between us that night - Get out!
Maybe I shouldn't have come here.
I'm sorry.
'Hello, Nitin.'
'Can we meet?'
'He had the gall to come to my school!'
I'm sorry. I know that this must
come as a shock - Relax, Sameera.
Our relationship may be over,
but our friendship isn't.
But I'm sure you know
that this will spoil your reputation.
And you seem quite sure
that is what's going to happen.
That's not what I said.
- Nitin, I can hear
the things you don't say.
I've known you since we were kids.
Thank you for coming here.
Miss Chauhan, your medical report
shows no signs of sexual assault.
Without proof, we can't lodge an FIR.
We can't arrest him.
You let him go? Why?
He's a rapist! He
How could you let him walk free?
Miss Chauhan, don't be disheartened.
The investigation is still underway.
If we get a breakthrough,
we will surely inform you.
Take care.
It was very cold that night.
We were both shivering.
We both had a glass of brandy each. And
It was his idea to see photos.
When I came out of the room,
he was drinking from my glass.
Maybe He did it by mistake
Maybe he did it deliberately.
He had mixed something in his glass.
Which is why, the next day,
I couldn't recall anything.
I had a headache.
Does such a drug exist?
It's called a date-rape drug.
- That's what it was.
I'm sure it was that.
He had mixed the drug in my drink.
It was all planned out by him!
Isha, he's a doctor. He knows the exact
quantity of the drug to be used.
That's why nothing showed up in the tests.
Oh God, Sameera! Listen to yourself.
This story
It doesn't make any sense.
People saw the two of you
sharing a laugh on Mall Road.
He even knows where you keep
the condoms in your house.
And you said it yourself that you
didn't scream, that there was no fight
And now This drug story
So, do you think I'm lying?
- No, Sameera.
I think
You shouldn't have
discontinued your medication.
What will the cops think when they
find out that you were on antidepressants?
What will they think?
They have already judged me anyway.
I was raped because
Anurag Saraswat is a rapist.
And I'll tell everyone about it.
- What do you mean?
His neighbours, his family,
his friends, his colleagues
I will tell them all
who Anurag Saraswat really is.
I will make my voice heard.
This case will not be closed.
'I am writing this to
tell everyone the truth.
'The truth about Doctor Anurag Saraswat
that he raped me.'
'What the world sees is a smokescreen.
The truth is that he's a rapist!'
