It Happened In Calcutta (2020) s01e02 Episode Script

[Title Montage]
[Kusum's Aunt] Kusum!
Kusum, there's a call for you.
Yes, aunt. I'm coming.
[Kusum's Aunt] You are a doctor.
Already on call.
[Kusum] Sorry, Mrs. Peters.
I'll tell them not
to call me up so late.
Sorry!
- Hello!
- Kusum!
Charu, why did you call
me up so late at night?
Come for group study. Please!
What group studies?
I need moral support.
I am not coming.
Please come over.
- No, Charu!
- Come! Please!
- Okay.
- Note down the address.
[Music playing]
[Kusum] This is the garage
behind the college.
They converted
it into a party venue.
[Song playing]
Kusum!
[Song playing]
Charu, you fraud.
Is this group studies?
The whole college is here.
[Charulata] Isn't this just crazy?
Sit.
No. It is not.
Charu, you lied to me.
- I've an exam tomorrow.
- Now it's time to relax.
You relax. I don't want to fail.
Girls, he was right.
Who was?
Ronnie.
Look what the cat dragged in.
You were invited?
I mean I am very
happy that you are here.
Since you've come here
- Enjoy the party.
- I want to study.
You were right, Ronnie!
She is a boring aunt.
Studying before exams
is not cool for you.
[Kusum] But it's cool for me.
And I know how to have fun.
- Yes! She is fun! She is.
- About to sing?
No.
- No.
- Yes.
- No!
- Yes!
[Ronobir] Ladies and gentlemen!
Boys and girls!
Now Miss Kusum Ganguly
will sing a song for us.
[Applause]
[Kusum singing a song]
What is she
[Kusum singing a song]
[Ronobir singing a song]
[Music playing]
[Retching]
Charu, are you okay? I am here.
Kusum, you are no prude.
I knew it. I am so proud of you.
Yeah. It was fun.
Forget him.
He thinks he's a Casanova.
That's enough. Let's go home. Come.
[Song playing]
Suju! Hi!
I was Surprised!
[Sujata] Good
surprise or bad surprise?
It's very cold in Calcutta, right?
[Sujata] Mother asked me
to take this as my house.
So I thought why not just drop by.
What a beautiful surprise!
- And I smell alcohol.
- A bit.
Just like a gentlemen would
Don't tell dad.
He thinks I'm a virgin.
You know how we love
the Beatles in Calcutta.
Ronobir doesn't hurt his fans.
So I opened up my garage.
And then it was an amazing party.
That's a nice way
to loosen up girls.
But the girl I like is very tough.
Enough, you are sloshed.
That's how the Brits would say.
Isn't it?
Hear to this new song.
It's made for us.
[Humming]
- How was that?
- You are drunk.
Of course, I am.
What?
What is it, Sujata?
Do you know
when you love someone,
you don't need to tell him.
The difference is that
you say it and I do it.
Are you serious?
Look into my eyes.
[Ronobir] Do you see
little hearts bursting?
It's love.
Full of love!
It's love.
[Falls on table]
My mom and dad are coming here
tomorrow
with your parents.
By then you will be sober.
It's my duty to
impress your parents.
I will manage it.
I will not disappoint you.
[Sujata] Enough!
You can overact tomorrow. Okay?
Now,
come in.
[Kusum] Mom!
Mom, I am late for my exam.
[Mrs. Jones] Eyes on
your question papers, boys.
Welcome, Miss Ganguly!
How lovely of you to join us!
Sorry, ma'am.
I don't need your apology.
If you can't handle MBBS,
we can shift you to
the nursing department.
The first female MBBS student
of this college can't be a failure.
All the best!
[Song playing]
[Mrs. Jones] What are you thinking
of? Write.
[Song playing]
Time up!
Leave the premises please!
- Time's up.
- Ma'am?
Very disappointing, Miss Ganguly.
Ronobir Chatterjee!
Ronobir Chatterjee!
[Kusum] Ronobir Chatterjee!
O God! Ronobir Chatterjee!
Meet me outside.
Meet me outside.
[Kusum] Hey!
You didn't tell me
why you left the party?
My Anatomy exam didn't go well
because of you.
Anatomy?
I will teach you.
I teach everyone. I'll try.
You are such a sleaze.
Do you feel this is fun?
You are a rich spoilt brat.
You don't know how others live.
I studied for MBBS
degree all my life.
And I am the only female
MBBS student of this college.
Because I always excel.
I work hard and I excel.
This is not a joke for me.
You didn't complete the dance.
You were so good.
No. I don't have
time for these things.
I will top the class and become
the first female MBBS student.
And by the way
I want to change the world.
I don't want to go to London
or New York like you'll.
I want to bring a change in India.
I want to do something.
- Am I stopping you?
- No.
- So did I pick you up from
home for the party? - No.
I must have stopped
you at the party
and didn't allow you to go home?
No.
Did I spike your drink
with alcohol?
I've been called ahole
for it so many times.
- No.
- For sure.
When you were writing the test,
did I steal your pen?
- Or I showed my face to you by
magic.- Yes. You did exactly this.
- Really?
- No.
- No. you - You are not
answering. Think again.
I have to leave.
- It's a mixing issue.
- What?
It's a mixing issue.
- You are Jack.
- What?
All work and no play.
Makes Jack a dull boy.
You are the dull boy.
Your problem is that
your story is like a dull novel.
This smoothie is not mixed rightly.
It's a mixing issue.
You are Jack. This is dull.
You are dull. Perfect!
I have figured you out.
I am fine as Jack.
Not like you that you leave
one hand and take on another.
- Isn't it fun?
- How do you know?
Charu was puking.
Did you turn to see me?
I was I noticed you.
Really? Even I noticed you.
Wearing blue dress.
Kohl in your eyes.
The scent of your hair.
When you were not seeing,
I still noticed you.
You turned thrice to see me. Why?
- I was helping Charu.
- [Ratan] Kusum!
I was looking for you everywhere.
What are you doing here?
- And you are with him?
- [Ronobir] Hi! - [Kusum]
I came here looking for Charu.
I asked you to stay away from her.
- I am having a smoothie.
- Ronnie!
[Subhodini] Emergency! Kusum.
Ratan, come along.
Help! Quick. Hostel!
What is wrong with her?
She is pregnant.
She tried to self-abort
with this hanger.
Shubu, I need clamps. Forceps.
10 ml of halothane. Okay.
Now Listen, don't forget
syringes and gauge. Quickly.
This is not legal.
We can't do this.
Will you stand here or help us?
- Let's take her to the hospital.
- No.
Not the hospital.
My dad will kill me.
Everyone will find out.
No.
Ratan, it will become
a police case.
She will die because
of the formalities.
Kusum, hold her down.
Listen, I can't do this without
you. I need your help.
And I have no time.
[Door opens]
You are saying as though
this is a routine.
We are medical students.
Kusum is in the first year.
What are you making her do?
Our first responsibility
is our patient.
What if she dies?
[Ratan] I don't know this.
I am not a judge. But a doctor.
Don't involve Kusum.
You just said we are doctors.
Not a judge.
[Kusum] Let someone else think
what's right or wrong.
Kusum, you will be
rusticated in your first year.
Ronobir, I'll help you.
[Door opens]
[Door closes]
[Song playing]
[Sigh of relief]
[Song playing]
It's done.
If any of you ever need help,
you can ask me for help.
[Ronobir] Okay? I will help you.
There is no need to do such
a stupid act.
[Ronobir] I'm impressed, doctor.
Good job.
Unwed mothers are a curse
in this society.
The society doesn't let them live.
The mistake is made by two people.
But only the girl is trapped in it.
This great nation of ours
has not legalized abortion.
That's why girls do such
kind of acts.
Every country has their
own set of problems.
And we are so civilized that
girls are ready to risk their
lives for their honour.
[Ronobir] According to me, human
life is very important.
[Subhodini] Ronnie, I am going
to keep these supplies back.
Don't go.
[Ronobir] The hostel
will be deserted.
I'll take care of it.
And I will stay with Sharmila.
In case she needs anything.
I'm leaving. I am getting late.
Kusum, thanks a lot.
Welcome!
Are you going home?
No. I am the
night watchman of this place.
Come, I'll drop you home.
No. it's okay.
It's quite late. I won't harm you.
Let's go.
Okay.
Do you normally joke in this
manner? Or am I special?
Funny!
[Car moving]
A branded car to impress girls!
Such a cliche.
There's a better cliche than that.
This car is purchased
with my dad's money.
[Ronobir] I'm glad
you persuaded Ratan.
Or he would have
informed the teachers.
Don't say that.
It is not easy for him.
In fact, this is not easy for men.
But for you, it was.
Are you appreciating me?
No. Observing you.
You were really helping her.
Without a question.
Without any judgement.
It's rare.
Sex is between two people.
To judge one person is unfair.
But, You can't hold a women's
biology against her, right?
But I can understand
if Ratan doesn't understand this.
[Ronobir] Some boys never find
a girlfriend in their lives.
I'm sure you know what
I'm talking about, right?
See, I just understand sex.
Sex is only sex.
And I'm okay with it.
- More than okay.
- Of course.
Life is short.
And so many flavours.
Whatever!
Listen, sit calmly.
Keep the books behind.
[Ronobir] I won't
do anything to you.
Shit! Disgusting! This
[Giggling]
- Relax! It's just a magazine.
- It's
They have articles too.
I buy them for that.
Men are disgusting.
Then manage without us.
You know what?
They teach that too in this
with proper instructions.
Hassel free.
Problem free sex. Try it.
Stop! Stop the car.
I want to get off.
[Car door opens]
[Car door closes]
Ma'am, bag, books.
- [Ronobir] I didn't expect this
from you. - What?
You said that we are doctors,
not a judge.
[Knocks on door]
[Door opens]
You are so late.
Have you come home alone?
No. Ratan dropped me.
[Door opens]
[Door closes]
This is nice.
She was judging me.
[Ronobir] But now
she is reading the magazine.
Please get out of my head.
Are you busy?
Did you like something?
I am not like you.
I was reading articles.
Of course.
- Whatever turns you on.
- You
I'm so sorry.
God. So good to see you, young man.
[Sujata's Mother] Finally!
[Sujata's Father] Give me a drink.
[Ronobir's Father] Here.
Have your drink.
There was an emergency.
When professors are not around,
the final year students
have to handle things.
I'm so sorry. I am so late.
You know, I believe the more
experienced you are, the better.
Uncle, you know, this is what
I admire about you.
I hope I get
opportunities in life
that I can match up
to your experiences.
If I am not wrong,
you were the first surgeon
in your class.
Not bad.
And after that, the
whole of England was following you.
I like the fact that you have
done your homework really well.
Now I know why
Sujata loves you so much.
- She does?
- Come on, dad.
Ronnie, where is your room?
I wanted to use the washroom.
[Chuckles]
Second door on the left.
Second door on the left.
- [Sujata's Father] Nice.
- Prat.
[Sujata's Father] You
girls don't be too long, okay.
Sure, dad.
- See you.
- Prat, stop eating.
Doctor, Sujata is someone
Rono loves.
All the girls in this
city are crazy for him.
Every mother loves her son.
And like every father, my father
feels I have lot of faults.
Before my dad spills
any more beans,
I want to tell you
I have lot of faults.
- I don't find any faults in you.
- Thank you, aunt.
Don't encourage him, sister-in-law.
[Ronobir's Father] We have
a huge house in Darjeeling.
He wants to become a doctor.
He lives in a flat instead
of our house.
He wants a bachelor flat.
Dad, I am not interested
in your house and garden.
[Ronobir] Uncle, tell me one thing.
How much place does
a man require to survive?
That's all I want.
I don't want all of this.
Is this place for one person?
Dad, your house and
garden is in litigation.
I mean, uncle and you are fighting
over it in the court, right?
I don't have an attachment
with India like dad has.
The officers are corrupt.
Poverty. Hunger.
China always threatening to
wage war.
And top of that, this communists
are talking about revolution.
Dad, these communists will take
Darjeeling from you
before uncle does.
You can mark my word. Yes, uncle?
You are right.
Chatterjee, you can't stop
these youngsters.
Rono would be
so comfortable in London.
Everything is neat and clean there.
One mother in London.
One mom is here.
[Sujata's Father]
He is such a charmer!
That'll be so apt.
Sister, making a place
in Ronobir's wardrobe
and making a place in his heart
are two different things.
[Shushing]
Prat, can you be quiet?
Mom and dad doesn't know
that I live in his flat.
They still think
I live with you in your dorm.
- What say!
- Does my opinion even matter?
- I am a hippie.
- True.
But seriously! What say?
Are you a girl or a commodity?
That you are getting polished
for Ronobir Chatterjee.
[Pratiksha] Love doesn't mean
lipstick and blush.
But my lipstick needs the love.
Maralline red. I love you!
Don't you feel bad. Okay?
And I love him!
I like to dress up for him.
There's no feminism in this, Prat.
No, sister.
Feminism is dead in this.
Imagine dressing up is necessary
to present yourself.
[Pratiksha] But if he looks bad,
it makes no difference.
You are waiting since five years
for him to be graduated.
You come from London
thrice every year to meet him.
What does he do in return?
Does he even think of you?
[Sighs]
Of course he does, Prat.
I come here with our parent's
permission.
[Sujata] Like you
go to America every year.
And bring your feminism with it.
You have your priorities, Prat.
So do I.
Just get that straight. Okay?
Did you think what he does
when you go to London?
[Pratiksha] I saw pullboy
magazine in his car.
He's a playboy.
That magazine has articles too.
If you feel Ronobir Chatterjee
reads it for its
articles and political views,
then you will be his doormat.
[Footsteps]
- Hey, Prat.
- Hey ahole!
Wow!
Doormat!
Does your sister go
to New York to learn such things?
She learnt cuss words in London.
Why do you still keep those
magazines with you?
There's a professor in our college.
He complaints that his
life is boring.
By life, I mean his wife.
To fill that gap in his life,
I needed to gift him some stuff.
Imagine.
You do realize
that you are one gorgeous woman.
I can't wait to start my life
with you in London.
[Sujata] So I am just a ticket for
you to go to London?
You know you got to stop
listening to your sister.
Are you stupid?
The people who don't have Sujata,
don't they go to London?
Sweetheart, my dad has enough.
I don't know how much I will get.
But I really don't care.
I don't need the support
of your dad or mine.
[Ronobir] I don't
need my dad's money.
Of course, yeah, I need
a little push.
Your dad's recommendation.
That's about it.
I am going to make my own life.
We'll start fresh.
[Ronobir] Lie. It's a big lie.
But I guess that was my style.
I had two women living a lie
called Ronobir Chatterjee!
I know how to have fun,
Mr. Ronobir Chatterjee!
[Song playing]
They teach that too
with proper instructions.
Hassel free. Problem free sex.
Try it.
[Ronobir] Kusum
was dreaming about me.
And I was dreaming of London.
Kusum was my current entertainment.
But Suju, she was my secure future.
You matter to me.
Your hot figure.
Your maralline red lipstick.
This wing tip eyeliner.
And whenever you enter any room,
your scent. That matters to me.
Really, Ronnie?
Chanel No. 5, right?
Of course, I do.
You are so sweet, Ronnie.
[Ronobir] One should
never disappoint girls.
I was Kusum's charming light.
I was happy to oblige.
I was Sujata's charming angel.
And I was happy to oblige.
Actually, every girl saw
an ideal man in me.
And who am I to refuse them?
Right?
