Marzi (2020) s01e02 Episode Script

Old Habits Die Hard!

Why do you refuse to answer my calls?
I think
We should not be doing this anymore.
Isha, I I understand that you want
to be with Sameera right now. I get it.
I I'll wait for you.
And I
I don't want to live without you.
I love you.
Stop it, Nitin.
We made a mistake, okay? A stupid mistake.
Please don't drag it any further.
If Sameera finds out about us
- We didn't break up because of you, Isha.
I've only loved you since our school days.
I never loved Sameera.
She's my sister, Nitin.
She really needs me.
I had sent her out with Anurag.
- Are you sure what she says did happen?
Why would she lie?
- You know what happened earlier, right?
No. This is not the same.
There's something else to this.
You must help her, Nitin.
Please.
For me.
Please help her.
Okay.
For you.
Thanks.
Hey, doctor. Where are you going?
Is everything alright?
Why? What's the matter?
I mean, I saw you talking
to the cop that day.
I hope there's no problem
- Oh!
No. Nothing serious. He was just
asking some routine questions.
Well, I'll get going. It's time for Ayaan
to come home from school. - Okay.
I'll see you.
Hello. Is this
the Andheri West police station?
I'm Nitin Dhumal. I'm speaking from
Boileauganj Police Station, Shimla.
Hello. Dad.
Hi, Ayaan. I just saw
all your missed calls. Is everything okay?
Did you check FriendBook?
- Why? What happened?
Dad, what have they written about you?
What is all this, dad?
What? Who has written about me?
- Miss Sameera, dad.
She has written,
'Anurag Saraswat raped me.
What the world sees is a smokescreen.
'The truth is that he a rapist!'
Dad, did you rape her?
Dad, it's going viral.
- What?
Ayaan, just shut it.
It's a lie. She's lying.
Just trust me, okay?
'Dr Anurag Saraswat'
I don't want to talk to you.
- What nonsense is this, Sameera?
What was the need for telling
the whole world about it? Are you crazy?
Did you really think that you could
do all this, and I'd stay quiet?
How dare you!
- What did you think?
That you could have your way
with me, and I'd stay quiet?
I don't stay quiet.
You better understand that.
You have no right to destroy my life
through such reckless acts!
My life and my reputation
are at stake, Sameera!
No, Anurag. This is about my life.
My life! My body!
Do you have any idea of the effect
this has had on Ayaan?
He's a child, Sameera! - He should
know the truth about his father.
What truth are you talking about?
- The truth that's imprinted in my memory!
Sameera.
What you're thinking is not true!
That's not what happened!
I remember everything. Everything!
You mixed something in my drink.
That's why you washed the glasses.
That's why you gave me your glass!
To make sure that I don't get suspicious!
I'm not crazy, Anurag.
I remember everything. Everything!
Sameera, when you returned to the room,
you picked up my glass by mistake.
I didn't point it out because
I didn't want to embarrass you.
Had I left the glasses there,
what would your maid think the next day?
Think!
You are lying.
You washed the glasses
to wipe out all the evidence.
You can confuse the whole world,
but not me!
Sameera, please! Just listen to yourself!
Do you really think that I
Do you really think
that I could have forced myself on you?
Sameera, whatever happened between us
that night was consensual.
Shut up! Just shut up! Okay?
I had said no!
I did not want to do it!
I did not consent to it!
You raped me!
- No!
Sameera Sameera!
Whatever happened
with Anurag that night
Sameera is not able to handle it.
She hasn't been taking her medicines
for the last two months.
Oh God! He will definitely
end up getting hurt.
Blood! Yuck! The mere sight
of it repulses me.
I'm sure you don't have
any problem with the sight of blood.
The more blood I see
in the operation theatre,
the more anxious I feel.
In fact, we always keep one
BP monitor for the patient
and one for me.
- I don't believe you.
I'm not kidding.
Okay. I believe you.
I mean, I'm sure
there's at least one thing
that makes you feel weird.
Yes, of course. There is one thing
that gives me a weird feeling.
I feel weird when I see people
chew food with their mouths open.
Other than that, I'm completely normal.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to embarrass you.
It's fine.
No one is absolutely normal.
If we look deep enough,
we're sure to find something weird.
When Barkha was alive, we had a habit.
That we must always keep a spare key
under the flower pot outside the house.
To this day, I keep my key under the pot.
I think as if I were waiting for her
Some more wine?
- Yes. Sure.
Nitin.
Please help Sameera.
Please. Do it for me.
Thanks.
I'm sorry. It's wrong to seek your help.
Just forget about it. I'm sorry.
Why are you giving me so much love
all of a sudden?
I love you.
I love you too.
'I'm sorry. It's wrong to seek your help.'
You can always ask anything of me.
I have some information about Anurag.
I don't know if it's helpful, but
I'll try my best.
For you.
I really miss you, Isha.
Did you see this?
- What?
Your post got over 10,000 shares.
What difference does it make?
I'm not lying.
When did I say that you were lying?
I just told you
For your sake.
- For my sake, or for yours?
What are you worried about, Isha?
About what people would say?
Did you think about me even for a moment?
Did you think about how I'm feeling?
Everyone wants me to shut up.
As if that would resolve everything!
Anurag's life cannot get back to normal
after what he has done.
Well, even your life isn't normal anymore.
You have put yourself out there
in such a way that you can't hide now.
I haven't done anything wrong.
- I know, Sameera.
But think about it. What if this post
spoils the case for you?
I hope you're aware
that all your secrets will be out now.
Whatever you've done, whatever you've
said to this day Everything.
Are you ready for it?
I'm going out. I'll be late.
- It's all a lie, Ayaan.
What Sameera has written is not true.
I've heard it all, dad.
Ayaan, there's just
one truth you need to believe.
That I am innocent.
That night
Please, dad.
I don't want to hear it.
- But you need to know.
Sameera and I went out for dinner.
We drank wine. After that,
Sameera invited me to her house.
There, she offered me brandy.
And then
After your mom She's
We had sex, Ayaan.
But it was with her consent.
And then, all this happened
I'm not lying, Ayaan.
You must believe me.
Look at me. Do you believe me?
But, dad, why would Miss Sameera lie?
I don't know!
Perhaps, after her break-up
with her boyfriend
When people are disturbed,
they lose their mental balance.
But whatever it is,
I'll make everything alright.
I'm getting late.
Sameera.
- Yes?
Let's go.
- I'm coming.
'Liar'
'Who is this?'
'Tell me. Who are you?'
'I'm the one who will
expose your lie to everyone!'
Sameera.
- Yes?
Shall we go? - You go ahead.
I want to be alone for a while.
Oh. Why?
Come on. You'll have fun
with Tia at the picnic.
I'm okay. Please go ahead. Please.
Alright. Call me if you
need anything. Okay?
Take care.
'Boileauganj Police Station'
Miss Chauhan.
What's going on with the case?
- It's underway, ma'am.
Any update about the brandy glasses?
The glasses were washed, and
- Of course! Anurag washed them himself!
It was all planned out by Anurag.
You still don't believe me, do you?
Do one thing. Go to his place.
He might still have
the date-rape drug there.
I can guarantee you this.
Please go and search his house.
Ma'am, we can't search his house
without a warrant.
And to get the warrant, we need a reason.
- I told you the reason! Didn't you hear?
Ma'am, please sit.
- Have a seat.
What you gave is not a valid reason.
It's just your word.
We'd need a lot more than that
to get a warrant.
You, please sit down. Listen.
I know that you're upset.
But please understand
that such matters take time.
If you keep giving him more time, he will
slip further away from your clutches!
Why don't you understand this?
Why don't you talk to someone about this?
Perhaps a friend, or
Perhaps a doctor
Why?
- Because, ma'am,
we have seen your FriendBook post.
- Yes, so what?
So what?
- That could weaken your case.
If this matter reaches the court,
your FriendBook post
will be used by the other party's
lawyers against you.
You two seem quite concerned
about the other party.
Right?
- Why don't you understand?
Because if I take
your word for everything, Rashmi,
the case will never proceed.
It won't make any progress.
Listen
Good morning, sir.
Dr Sahil is waiting for you.
Why?
- There's a patient in the OT.
Oh, yes. Thank you.
It's a pastime for people.
Commenting on others' matters.
- But
Someone has posted an old photo of me
and commented, 'Who would rape her?'
This one says, 'If she talks so openly
about sex, she is bound to be raped.'
This one says
- Sameera
Why do you need to read it all?
It's a waste of time.
I won't be able to do anything.
I won't be able to prove anything.
You don't have to prove anything.
It's the police's job to do that.
Don't be in a hurry. Give them some time.
This is such a nightmare.
I don't know when it will end.
Listen.
Why don't you take
a few days off from work?
Let the matter cool down a bit.
You want me to take a break?
He should be the one suffering, Isha!
Not me!
He should have sleepless nights! Not me!
Rashmi,
what is this whole 'Me Too' thing about?
- It's nothing, sir.
It's a way to trap famous people.
The two of you are investigating
Sameera Chauhan's case, right?
Sub-inspector Nitin Dhumal.
Sameera Chauhan's fiancé.
- Ex-fiancé.
Well, what's up? - I have some information
about Anurag Saraswat.
What is it? - Barkha Saraswat,
Anurag's wife, had committed suicide.
Let's go, Rashmi.
Hey
Sir - Nitin, tell us something new.
We already know this.
Barkha Saraswat overdosed
on sleeping pills.
Their neighbours say that Anurag
and Barkha used to fight a lot.
Her mother had even lodged
a police complaint.
Yes. But, after that, Barkha Saraswat's
suicide note was found, right?
Yes. But the investigating officer has
said that maybe there was something fishy.
Nitin, if a 'maybe' was so valid,
they wouldn't need cops to investigate.
Listen. Please don't let Anurag walk free
so easily - Listen.
We are following the procedure.
It would be better if you do just that.
It's our case. Leave it up to us.
I thought that this operation
The less you think, the better.
Suction.
- BP 130 over 90.
Why is he bleeding so much?
Why can't I see the pulmonary artery?
Shall I give it a try?
I have performed a thousand operations.
BP is dropping.
Anurag, BP is dropping!
- I heard you!
Where is so much blood coming from?
Oh my God! What if the artery is damaged?
- Take a look, sir.
The pulse rate is dropping too.
- I need to stabilise him.
Nurse! Half litre stat!
- I've got it. I've got it.
Blood is accumulating in
his chest cavity. He is sinking.
Anurag, please!
- Just shut up!
Will you let me do my work?
Before he dies?
Seal him.
We had almost lost the patient today.
It's a part of life for, us, doctors.
Anyway, I handled it. You can relax now.
And perhaps you didn't notice
that I'm under a lot of stress these days.
Guilt often causes stress.
Even if you repeat a lie a thousand times,
it will still remain a lie.
But the truth
Eventually, the truth does come out.
What's going on? What's in your hand?
Give it to me.
Is this why your parents
send you to school? For this nonsense?
Ask your parents to come
and collect the phone.
So, I was saying that
Hi, Sameera. What's up?
Has Anurag come to work today?
- Yes.
We had to perform
an operation in the morning.
Why?
- No. I thought that maybe
I thought I saw him at school.
This is why I'd asked you to take
a few days off and rest.
Go home, Sameera. Please.
Perhaps it would be better
just to go home.
Thanks.
Yes. Come in.
Dr Anurag. Have some 'jalebis'.
- No. It's okay, ma'am.
Dr Sinha had a granddaughter.
He ordered these from Delhi.
Have some.
- Ma'am
Did you read that post?
Yes. I read it.
But I have not formed an opinion
based on the post.
But it seems like everyone else
already believes me to be a rapist.
Ma'am, I'm innocent.
I'm not that type of a man.
Yes. Relax.
As long as there's no pressure from the
higher authorities, I don't really care.
All I care about is your work.
- Ma'am, today, in the operation theatre,
I was unable to focus on my work.
I wasn't able to do my job properly.
I've performed over 250 surgeries,
but my hands were trembling today.
Ma'am, what if a patient suffers
because of my stress?
I will never be able to forgive myself.
And
And even Dr Isha, Sameera's sister
Dr Anurag, take a few days off. Okay?
Yes. Okay.
Ma'am,
you have known me for a year.
Do you think I could rape someone?
Actually, it's okay.
Just forget it.
Where have you been?
I was looking for you.
Sir, I'm a little scared today.
Oh. I'm sorry.
I'll shut it.
- Don't shut it for me, please.
I'm shutting it for myself
and not for you. I'm done eating.
How has your health been?
My wife spent all
nine months in the bathroom.
Well. I still have seven months to go.
Had you not been there, who would've told
me these little things about motherhood?
Had I not been there,
who would give you the good news?
The boss had called.
He said, 'Sameera Chauhan's FriendBook
post has created quite a stir.'
We must inspect the case more diligently.
Shaan.
- Yes?
What is this?
What!
Just you and I?
What's the plan?
Are you planning to tell me
something nasty in private?
So, you mean
Can we not go somewhere together
without any agenda?
I just thought that it'd been a while
since we took a holiday together, so
I know you were at work
- It's okay.
Nitin, I'm really sorry, but
Relax. You sounded quite disturbed
on the phone. Is everything okay?
I found evidence.
How?
I went to Anurag's house.
I know.
He had told me at dinner that he keeps
his key under the flower pot.
What did you find at his house?
There was a box under his bed. In there,
there was a small, transparent bottle.
In that bottle, there was a liquid
like water. - What do you mean?
The date-rape drug that he mixed
in my drink that night.
It looks just like water.
Did you take that bottle with you?
Sameera, you may have left
your fingerprints everywhere.
The bottle is still there.
And I was wearing gloves.
Then it's okay.
As long as he has that bottle,
it's not okay.
If you could go to his house and acquire
the bottle, it could be strong evidence.
I can't be directly involved in this case.
And we would need a warrant
to search Anurag's house.
We need a reason to get the warrant.
We don't have that.
- Then, find something.
Nitin, why did you join the police?
To help people.
Now, I'm seeking your help.
Nitin, please. If If you
If you care about me
even slightly, please help me.
Please.
Rohit.
Buddy, I need a favour.
Yes. Tell me.
I want you to raid someone's house.
You can say that an informer
has given you a tip. Okay?
Under his bed, there's a bottle of
the date-rape drug. Do you follow? - Yes.
It's such an important tip.
Why don't you go yourself?
There's a problem. This is not my case.
And Sameera is my ex,
so I can't get involved directly.
And Since there's no proof,
we don't have a warrant.
So, I thought I'd seek a friend's help.
Yes. We are friends.
But
Rohit. Your wife
I didn't tell your wife
about Priya, right?
Are you blackmailing me?
- No, buddy.
I'm just asking you for help.
I know that you won't refuse.
Sir, I wanted to talk to you.
Just a few minutes, sir.
- Excuse me! Where are you going?
What do you think you're doing?
Do you have a warrant?
Why do we need a warrant? I wanted to talk
to you about heart problems.
Come with me. Please. Come.
Come. Please. Come with me.
What's going on?
- Please come, sir.
Nandu, bring some water.
It must be in that room.
Dad, what's going on?
Ayaan, you go to your room.
It's okay. No big deal.
Do you know that you can't
do anything without a warrant?
We just want water, sir.
We're very thirsty.
Dad, what's going on?
- Ayaan, I said, go to your room.
I know what you're up to. I know it.
Mrinalini, the police
just searched my house.
No, they didn't have a warrant.
Sameera has planted something in my house.
I'm very sure.
Yes?
- Is Sameera Chauhan home?
Yes. Please come in.
Sameera.
The police are here to see you.
Today, the police raided
Anurag Saraswat's house. - So?
Your ex-fiancé, Nitin Dhumal,
is poking his nose in this case.
Well, at least, someone is
paying attention to the case.
Anurag claims that you orchestrated
the raid. - Me?
You knew where he keeps his key.
How How would I know?
I don't have the strength to take the case
forward. How could I orchestrate a raid?
Miss Chauhan, it's not fair to keep
interfering with the investigation.
Do you know what you have done?
- What have I done?
All these things are weakening
your case. So, please.
Was anything found at his place?
They found a box
in which there was a glass bottle.
The bottle contained insulin.
Insulin?
- Yes.
Diabetic patients use it.
The original bottle had a leakage,
so it was transferred to this bottle.
It was easy for you to mistake insulin
for something else.
Miss Chauhan, let us do our job. Please.
Hello.
Is this Anurag Saraswat?
- Who is this?
I'm Dinesh Wadhwa, from Delhi.
I'm sorry for calling you
so late in the night.
What is this about?
- I was hoping to meet you.
About what?
- Sameera Chauhan.
Listen. I don't want
to talk about this case.
Anurag, it would be in your
own interest to talk to me.
Sameera Chauhan has made up
such a story before as well.
She has played this game before.
If you meet me, she won't get away with it
this time around.
When do you want to meet?
- Whenever you want.
It doesn't take long to travel
from Delhi to Shimla.
Let's meet tomorrow morning.
