Bambai Meri Jaan (2023) s01e02 Episode Script

1
Ghalib!
My friend!
Maqbool.
You pulled it off!
What's so funny?
-Share the joke with me.
-Tell her.
The Police are here!
Let's take a look.
Two years is a lot of time.
We're forever friends.
What're two years against forever?
-I visited Ghalib.
-How's he?
-He's fine.
-Okay.
-Keep this cash.
-Thank you.
Move it, come on!
Hurry.
Ghalib, my friend.
Did they let you out early?
Look, it's all here.
I've kept it safe all this while.
Look.
Our destiny is going to change, Ghalib.
Ghalib, let's make a run for it.
Ghalib.
Ghalib, it's time to run.
They threatened me.
If I didn't help them get you
they'd leave my child orphaned.
Forgive me, Maqbool.
I'll be right back.
Son, finish your dinner.
Go check where your father is.
Yes, Mom.
This was the price I paid
for being truthful.
If you walk the wrong path,
you will never be rewarded, will you?
You aren't known for your honesty.
What will honesty get you, Ismail?
I sleep peacefully.
Don't you feel hungry?
I get a salary from the government.
Fifty-four rupees to feed
a family of five. And now six.
Why should they suffer for your pride?
We are Allah's responsibility.
Allah has breathed life into us.
He won't leave us starving.
That's why Allah has sent me to help you.
What irony!
Seems like Allah is using
the devil to do his work.
Be honest with people
who are honest, Ismail.
Otherwise, it's just stupidity.
You are a policeman.
So, you're not honest, but alone.
What if you get shot someday?
Who will look after your little kids?
Allah has destined my death too.
The day He wills it
I'll welcome it!
It's time for prayers.
Time to ward off Satan.
Khuda hafiz.
Khuda hafiz.
Don't touch!
Step away!
-Why? Whose car is it?
-Your father's.
Then it becomes our car.
You wish!
I dare you to touch it.
-Don't you dare.
-Did I touch it?
Stop!
Should I?
-Salaam.
-Salaam.
What's your name?
Dara!
Dara who?
-Dara Kadri.
-Dara Kadri.
Become a poet like the great Dara Shikoh.
A King.
Want to sit in my car?
I'll sit in my own car.
I'm sure you will.
Inshallah!
Anyone who steals,
be it a man or a woman,
their hands should be cut off.
That will be his punishment
and Allah's will.
Who will cut their hands?
Allah will punish them.
But Allah rewarded Haji with a Mercedes.
A person's worth is not measured
by the car he drives.
But by the work he does.
But usually, a man is recognized
by the car he drives.
That's in this world.
Ever heard of anyone going
to heaven by car?
True.
But going to school
in a Mercedes will be cool.
-Give me money, Sister.
-Keep it down.
What's this noise outside?
-Give me something.
-Hold this.
-Just 10 or 20 bucks.
-Ismail has refused to give you any money.
He's asked everyone not to lend me money.
They've all refused.
-Rahim, keep your voice down.
-Hey!
Ismail?
Why are you creating a scene here?
Why has he come here again?
-He's
-Tell him to leave.
-I don't want him here.
-At least listen to him once.
Tell your sister what you've done.
-What did he do?
-I got him a job at a pharmacy.
And he did exactly
what I told him not to.
What did he do?
This asshole was caught
drinking cough syrup on the sly.
-Rahim.
-How embarrassing.
Did you steal? Again?
-No, Sister!
-Did you?
I made a mistake.
Please forgive me.
I don't have a single penny on me.
Didn't I ask you for money?
But you too, refused.
-I have zero money
-Keep getting doped, bastard.
Out of here, come on.
Let's go inside.
Hey, you!
Shove that honesty up your ass.
Rahim!
I saw what happened here right now.
Tell me, what happened here?
-Haji was here.
-So?
Didn't he bribe you with big money?
Bastard.
I would rather let my kids starve to death
than feed them with his money.
Get out of here, you bastard!
Don't come back. Out!
Go inside.
Dare if I see you here again,
I'll kill you.
Sakina!
I know he's your brother,
but I don't want him around my kids.
I get that.
But why say you will starve your kids?
Why drag the kids in everything?
I've barely managed money
for Habiba's aqeeqah.
One day he will steal from the house,
wait and see.
Why don't you explain it to him?
He should go back to the village.
I won't be able to save him
if he messes up again.
Then don't say I didn't warn you.
Dharavi, Bombay's biggest slum,
was ruled over by Anna Rajan Mudaliar.
He would employ boys from Madras
in his business of bootlegging alcohol.
Anna changed the fortune of this slum.
Anna was a messiah for the poor.
He put food on their plates.
Anna!
Haji? What brings you to me?
Your kindheartedness
has brought me to you.
Is that all? Or
Let's take a walk.
I've heard a lot about your network.
Never thought
it would be this extraordinary.
Anna, I
Don't bother. I know.
Ismail Kadri is making
your life miserable.
He's raided the docks
and seized your goods.
You want me to help you
smuggle your goods from the Vashi dock.
You know it all, Anna.
I need to.
But I don't rent out my men.
I don't need your men.
-What are you proposing?
-I want us to work together.
Tell me. I'm eager to know.
I'm sorted from Colaba to Worli.
I need your help at Bombay Central,
Sion Koliwada, and Chembur.
Today is a holy day, Anna.
Don't refuse me.
I understand your inhibitions,
but there is one man's word we all trust.
His reputation precedes him.
Salaam alaikum.
-Pathan!
-Anna, my friend.
After joining hands with Anna,
the trio became even more powerful.
Anna's network,
Pathan's terror, and Haji's ingenuity
had made the task of Bombay police
even more difficult.
-Sir, it's Munna.
-Tell me.
-Haji was here to meet Anna.
-What are they planning?
-They're up to something.
-Where's the consignment?
Not sure. I think Anna will use
his taxi network to move the gold.
Salaam, sir!
-Sawant, let him go. Do as I say.
-Yes, let him go.
Your information was wrong, fucker!
It's Anna's maze, sir.
I can't figure it out.
I need some time.
Motherfucker.
This is the kind of informer we have!
Fuckers!
-Mom, breakfast?
-Yes, I am getting it.
Start eating. Call Saadiq.
Saadiq, Dara, come eat your breakfast.
-Yes, Mom. I'm coming.
-Hurry.
Dara, do you need an invitation?
Come quick.
I'm here, Mom.
Dara, please pacify Habiba.
Okay, Mom.
Habiba, why are you crying?
Dara, eat your breakfast.
Okay.
Hurry, you're late. Come on, quick.
Why is my princess crying?
Here, look at this toy.
I'll see who it is.
Who is it so early?
-Must be for the neighbors.
-Who is it?
-The newspaper guy.
-The English one?
Give it to me.
Go.
-From now on, it will come once a week.
-What for?
Dara will read the news in English.
Dara, read.
Read it.
Read. Let us hear your English.
Yes, Dad.
Cyclone in Orissa.
-What?
-Cyclone in Orissa.
-What does that mean?
-There was a cyclone in Orissa.
How silly! They've just got cycles.
Mom, a cycle and a cyclone are different.
Yeah, same thing, cycle.
A cyclone means a storm.
Mom, shall I also read to you?
You're getting late.
Read once you're back.
-Ismail, I'll get you your tea.
-Half a cup.
What's wrong, Saadiq?
You speak English so well.
I want to study in an English school, too.
Do you think we get free cakes there?
What do you mean?
-I, myself, run away from school.
-What?
And where do you go?
Come, let me show you.
Dammit!
Come on!
Hey, Nasir!
Dara, you're late.
Why didn't you tell me before?
You haven't seen anything yet.
Come.
Everyone, gather around.
Let's toss.
We've got more players.
Tails.
It's tails. We bat first!
-Let's go.
-Come on
Go race that motor, man
Race it a bit far
We are late, dear fellow!
And may not reach our goal
Race that motor, man
At that corner
Watch and take us there
And ensure that we're on time
Break it! Slam it!
Break it! Slam it!
For you and for me
Me and for you
For us all let's break it, slam it!
Break it! Slam it!
Break it! Slam it!
For you and for me
Me and for you
For us all let's break it, slam it!

For us all let's break it, slam it!

For you and for me
Me and for you
For us all let's break it, slam it!
For you and for me
Me and for you
For us all let's break it, slam it!
We won because I came today.
We win every day.
We can't lose even if we want to.
What do you mean?
What's he doing here?
Thank you, Nasir. Got it, Saadiq?
So, Nasir lost on purpose to make you win?
Dara, you're a genius.
Give me some.
This wasn't part of the deal.
-Aren't we friends?
-So?
Nothing more than the deal.
-Let's go, Dara.
-Fine.
Wait up.
I was joking.
There are no deals in friendship.
Make one for him too.
Did you bunk school?
No, why?
Then what are you doing here in uniform
at this hour?
What exactly are you doing here?
The girl's school is off today. Isn't it?
-Thank you for that day.
-Welcome.
Looks like only you know
how to say thank you.
Thanks.
How is it?
-Try it for yourself.
-Did you wash your hands?
Why?
The other day on the terrace
did you wash your hands?
Do you still want it?
Thanks. By the way,
you shouldn't bunk school.
Pari, what are you doing here? Let's go.
-Got a girlfriend?
-But he lost his ice lolly in the bargain.
-Give me yours. It's your fault.
-Give it back.
-Give it.
-What about me?
Sakina?
How did Dara's uniform get so dirty?
They're kids. What do you expect?
Come, eat.
Where is he?
On the terrace. With Nasir and Saadiq.
They've eaten.
It's only us for dinner.
Come. Let's eat.
Wow!
Did you make kebabs?
I didn't make them.
Dara brought them.
Where did he get them from?
From school, maybe.
-Come.
-And where did he get the money?
Enough, Ismail!
Stop investigating!
You're at home, not on duty.
"Where did he get the money?
How has his uniform become so dirty?"
Really, Ismail?
Nasir must have paid for the kebabs.
Dara!
Ajju, Saadiq. It's late. Come down.
Ismail, stop it!
Is this why we enrolled him
in an expensive English school?
He won't do it anymore.
Your dearest son bunks school
to play cricket.
And he lies to us.
-We won't anymore, Dad.
-Aren't you the elder one?
Is this what you teach him?
Go inside.
-We won't do it again, Dad.
-Listen to me.
If I catch you again,
I'll skin you alive.
Am I clear?
Go inside. You too, Ajju.
Ismail, why are you livid at them?
They're our kids.
Didn't he read English so well
the other day, cyclone and all?
You have spoiled them!
Cyclone!
-I'll get you some tea
-I have to go back on duty.
Okay, go back to work!
Why did you come
to scream at the kids?
They are kids. They will be mischievous.
Weren't you?
We spend a lot of money
on his schooling.
Just as Pir baba advised.
Saadiq also wants to study at
an English school. What should I tell him?
Dara's mind works differently.
If we do not discipline him now.
He'll go out of control.
-Hey, stud muffin.
-Save it, auntie.
Salaam alaikum, sir!
So, Munna?
Is this your new girl's house?
What can I say, sir?
-What information do you have for us?
-Sir.
I've kissed every ass
to get you this information.
-The gold is in the taxis.
-Shut the fuck up.
We've checked them thoroughly.
From the hood to the boot,
there's nothing.
And what's in the boot?
A stepney, you dickhead.
-And what's inside the stepney?
-Don't you
Car number?
MMW 8172
-Repeat it.
-MMW
Let's go.
Stop!
Open the boot.
Sir there's nothing in here.
What did you say your name was?
-Raghu.
-Raghu!
Tell me everything clearly. Okay?
How it works, who's the mastermind,
who delivers the gold, and where.
Let's hear it. Start.
I know nothing, sir.
I'm telling you the truth.
They give us different locations
every time.
A man comes with a pick-up truck.
And takes all the tires.
That's all I know, sir.
I swear on my kids.
I'm talking to you politely.
But I don't think it's helping.
What?
He may be telling the truth.
We can use him.
We have not found much gold anyway.
But if he becomes our informer,
we can get to Pathan.
What say?
Let's use the bastard as bait.
Raghu, here's what you do
You leave.
Excuse me, sir?
Take the taxi and the gold with you.
-Thank you, sir.
-Wait, listen to the whole deal.
In return, you have to inform us
about the next pick-up.
Understood? Now, leave.
-They'll kill me, sir.
-If you don't, I'll kill you.
Turn me down, and you're dead.
We have a license to kill.
-Got it?
-Out.
-I have kids
-To hell with your kids!
The fuckers always have little kids
to cry about!
Why did you let him go?
What if he takes the gold?
We don't want to seize the gold, Yunis.
We want to end their business.
If this taxi guy does the job
imagine how much it'll help us.
Hey, you! Come here.
-I want to meet Haji.
-Come here, asshole!
-Where do you think you're going?
-I wanted to meet Haji.
Why? Has he invited you for dinner?
-Who are you?
-Rahim.
-Rahim who?
-Ismail Kadri's brother-in-law.
Ismail Kadri?
-The policeman?
-Yes.
Fine.
Come. Follow me.
Take this.
Salaam!
Yes, tell me.
Haji, I wish to work with you.
If wishes were horses
Did Ismail send you?
No, I swear!
Does he know you're here?
No, I don't give a damn
about that motherfucker.
He threw me out of his house.
He's an asshole.
I need some stability in life.
I'll do whatever work you give me.
I'll pray for your long life.
I want prayers
but not from junkies like you.
Thank you, Haji.
Come!
Act smart, and I'll drown you
in cough syrup.
-What syrup?
-I'll show you what syrup.
I always wish you well, love
And do not pray for anything else
I always wish you well, love
And do not pray for anything else
I always wish you well, love
And do not pray for anything else
May I live at your feet till I die
May I live at your feet till I die
And do not pray for anything else
I always wish you well, love
-Come, Sakina.
-Salaam alaikum, Pir baba.
-Walaikum assalam.
-Salaam alaikum, baba!
-How are you, Dara?
-I'm fine.
Hello there.
Who's this little princess?
Look who's come to meet you.
She's a beautiful baby.
-What have you named her?
-Habiba.
Dara named her.
Mashallah!
-Friday is a good day for the aqeeqah.
-Really?
Did you hear that?
Friday is a good day for your aqeeqah.
May Allah bless you
with health and prosperity.
-Thank you.
-Bless you.
-Take care of the child.
-Yes, baba.
I am more than happy with this
And do not pray for anything else
I am more than happy with this
And do not pray for anything else
I always wish you well, love
And do not pray for anything else
I always wish you well, love
And do not pray for anything else
That's a good cup of tea.
Sakina wants you to hold Habiba
during the aqeeqah.
-I can't.
-Why not?
Holding a baby scares me.
Are you mad?
What about it is scary?
I held Ajju the last time, didn't I?
It's not so tough.
What happened?
Listen up.
Let's tell Ismail
if he has another child
we'll invite Haji for his aqeeqah.
Why are you still here?
Raghu the cab driver hasn't called us yet.
Don't worry about the call. We are here.
Today is an important day.
Everyone's waiting for you at home.
You go ahead, brother.
Meher and I will see you there soon.
-Let him call. I'll leave after.
-Talk some sense into him.
If the cabbie calls, we are here.
He didn't even go to meet Pir baba.
If Sakina gets angry,
you'll have to write her
an apology letter.
Shut up, bastard!
Ismail.
Leave. We'll manage.
-Are you sure?
-Yes, very sure.
Come on, Riyaz. Hurry up.
It's taking you so long.
We still have the right side to do.
Go on inside.
Uncle, this side. Hurry.
-Okay.
-Place it there.
-Rafiq, will our guests get dinner or not?
-The van broke down on the way.
What were the chances
of it happening today?
Please spare us today.
It's our daughter's aqeeqah today.
Dry them later, please.
And listen
wear that new saree for the function.
Chairs are here, and the tables are there!
Will you keep it on my head?
-Put it there.
-Sakina.
I'm here.
-Oh, you're here?
-I got held up at the station.
Of course your duty and work.
I understand.
Are you done, Riyaz?
Then move on.
Place it like a wave.
I'll sort this out.
You get ready.
Ismail, manage your kids first.
They've been loitering around.
I'll be grateful if you get them ready!
-Kids!
-Hurry up!
It's been ten minutes already.
Move on to the next section.
-Mom's pissed
-Hurry up, boys!
Get ready.
Ismail, at least today
you should have come on time.
Bloody assholes,
they didn't give me the packet!
I'll teach them a lesson.
-He's acting too smart!
-Had too much food, yes?
-Make it quick.
-Salaam!
-Salaam!
-Where the fuck were you?
-I had to go
-Get to work quickly.
Load the boxes.
-There's no time.
-I'm on it.
I'll do it in a jiffy. Pick it up!
Come, this side.
-Hello?
-It's Raghu, sir.
It's Raghu. Yes, Raghu. Tell me.
I've made the delivery.
Where to?
Colaba.
Give me the number.
5306.
-Repeat it.
-5306.
Should we inform Ismail?
No, I don't think so.
He has left after a lot of persuasion.
Won't he be angry?
If we nab the gold and attend the aqeeqah
we'll be treated to extra dessert.
-Let's do this.
-Let's go.
-Let's go. We're headed to Colaba.
-Yes, sir.
-Salaam alaikum, Maulvi.
-Walaikum assalam.
-By the grace of Allah, she's beautiful.
-Look, the Maulvi is here.
Shall we start the aqeeqah?
-Sure. The guests are here.
-Very well.
Even the Maulvi is here.
Where's Ahmed?
Must be taking time
to get dressed, as usual.
Anyway, he always has
a comb in his pocket.
Even Razia hasn't come.
-She'll come.
-What is it?
-Keep that down.
-I'll handle that. You welcome the guests.
Listen!
-Walaikum salaam.
-Salaam alaikum.
Walaikum salaam. Welcome.
What the hell is wrong with you?
Why are you sweating like a pig?
Don't worry. It's all taken care of.
Look who's here.
Bastard Dutta.
What's up, Dutta?
You head back.
We'll take it from here.
Leave.
Are vehicles being checked thoroughly?
MMX 5306.
Where did that bloody Dutta go?
-Rahim?
-Not a word. I'll handle it.
Salaam, Ahmed!
What are you doing here?
He's helping me load
and unload the goods.
I was in need of work, so they hired me.
What are you moving?
Sacks of rice.
Then let's get cooking.
Come. Show me the goods.
-Make it quick.
-Get down.
-Get down. Come on.
-Open up! Quick!
Let's take a look!
Open up.
Yes.
Yunis, you catch Sultan!
Hey, Rahim!
Yunis, cover that side.
Rahim, listen to me!
Rahim, stop!
Stop, asshole!
Let me go, bastards.
I dare you to run!
Want to run more, motherfucker?
-Take him away.
-Let's go!
So, we can't play cricket anymore?
Not our kind of game.
Dad will skin us alive.
Why are you getting scared, Saadiq?
We will still play.
Just more discreetly.
Let's have biryani, or we'll miss out.
I'm starving.
-Did you serve everyone there?
-Yes.
-Assalamu Alaikum.
-Walaikum Hey!
-How are you, Razia?
-I'm fine.
Where's Yunis?
Yunis hadn't returned yet.
So, I came without him.
Good. Please come.
-Where's Sakina?
-She's there
-Somewhere there
-Ismail.
-Bye.
-I'll find her.
Beware, she'll load you with work.
Sakina.
Sister!
-Thanks for the evening.
-Sure.
Thanks for coming.
What have you done?
All this blood?
-It's nothing. Give me 50 rupees, Sister.
-Why do you need the money?
-Just give it to me.
-Where are you coming from, Rahim?
Ismail!
Ismail!
I was there
What is all this?
I was transporting gold for Haji
-Are you working for Haji?
-Yes
He's working for a smuggler.
And you have the gall
to come to a policeman's home?
You can hit me
as much as you want
-You work for a smuggler.
-Save me from Haji's people.
-They'll kill me.
-No one can kill you in jail.
-Come.
-Save me, Sister.
Sister, tell him.
Haji's men will kill me.
Sister! Save me.
-They'll kill me. Tell him.
-You're a piece of shit.
Make him understand
They'll kill you?
Why didn't you die?
Will you stoop so low for drugs?
Rahim, why do you do such things?
It's my daughter's aqeeqah today.
Today was a good day, and you ruined it.
Tell me.
You are her uncle.
Why did you mess this up?
Forgive me, Sister.
Forgive me, sister
Sister.
Forgive me, Sister.
-I can't do anything, Sakina.
-Forgive me
-sister.
-He's done for!
He's not well, Ismail.
Look at his condition.
He's my brother, after all.
Please help him, Ismail.
I'll never ask you
for anything after this.
Just this last time.
Save him.
Ismail, forgive me.
I swear to Allah I made a mistake.
-Get in.
-I'll never come back.
-Listen up.
-I'll never return.
This is from your sister.
Don't ever be seen in Bombay again.
Or I'll bury you alive.
I swear to Allah. I'll never come back.
Forgive me, Ismail.
-Ismail, we really enjoyed the feast.
-Thank you.
-Ismail!
-It's done.
-Where's Rahim?
-Don't utter that scumbag's name again.
-Where's the Maulvi?
-He left.
Left? What do you mean?
He couldn't perform
the aqeeqah without you.
He said that the aqeeqah
would have to be performed later.
Sakina, how is that possible?
Our daughter
-You weren't here so
-Ismail, did Rahim come here?
-What?
-Was Rahim here?
-Rahim
-No, he didn't come here.
No, Rahim didn't come here.
What's the problem, Yunis?
Rahim and Sultan were caught with
Haji's smuggled goods at the checkpoint.
-We ran behind him, and he
-Sir.
A message for you on the wireless!
You have been called
to JJ Hospital right away.
JJ
Come with me.
Sir!
Hey, Ahmed!
Ahmed!
Who did this?
Yunis, two constables
saw Ismail at
the station half an hour ago
putting Rahim on a train.
Ahmed!
Rahim!
Rahim!
You junkie bastard!
Will you taint Ismail's name?
Let's go, asshole.
I'll take you to Ismail.
Will you work for Haji?
Ismail!
