Navarasa (2021) s01e03 Episode Script


I just came back to my senses.
I felt a bit different physically.
My motor senses are okay,
but my memory is a mess.
I can recollect every single incident
that happened in my childhood,
including what I want to forget.
I don't know if I can
go back to my normal life.
An obsession to see
something beyond our intelligence
is never a good idea.
It will kill you
one way or another.
Dad?
Your son has been calling you for so long.
Can't you hear him?
Been ages since I
stepped out of my room, right?
Sorry, that's why I'm just
Didn't I bring you here so you wouldn't
think about it just for today?
Then why?
Old habits die hard, I guess.
Fuck you, Vish.
Hey, Lakshmi.
Your anger, I swear!
Go and hug your job tight to your chest.
One day your son and I won't be there.
Only then you'll realize our value.
Sweetheart,
listen to me.
My work needs only my mind,
but my heart will always
follow you wherever you go.
How is that?
Get lost.
Did you call?
Krishna
This is my new number.
How are you?
Work stuff, regular.
Let me get straight to the point.
Can you come to Chennai?
Something very important has come up,
something that you should know.
By "you," do you mean people at ISRO?
Yeah.
So is this a professional visit
or a personal visit with an old friend?
Well, it's kind of very personal.
Okay, then.
You never call me urgently like this,
so I'm assuming your mind has
cracked something groundbreaking.
I'll fly in tonight.
Don't disappoint me.
Trust me, I won't.
See you then.
- Hey, Krishna. Thanks for coming.
- Come on.
- How was the ride?
- A bit bumpy.
Where's your son?
Mom and son have gone out somewhere.
Why are you so serious?
You just got here.
Give it some time, you'll understand.
Let's go in there.
Listen
The place I work
is not any other office, it's ISRO.
After a long day's work, here I am.
This better be worth it.
Whisky or coffee?
- We'll start with coffee?
- Sure.
You know,
by now, you could be working with me.
Heck! For your level of genius,
you would've become my boss by now.
You shouldn't have
rejected the offer letter.
But what, after all
you're the patent maverick now.
The moment you call, top scientists
in the country are always ready to come.
- Like how I'm here now.
- Hey.
Don't try to send me on a guilt trip.
You can't.
I can't work in a confined space
following rules and regulations.
Not my cup of tea.
Or coffee!
My mind needs to be free
and enlightened.
Yeah?
Go on. Blow my mind.
I won't take much of your time.
Just 15 minutes.
Your time starts now.
December 21st, 2012.
What does this mean to you?
Since the Mayan civilization,
almost all ancient civilizations
predicted this date
as the end of the world.
Eight years since we crossed this date.
Why haven't we faced doomsday?
Maybe they miscalculated?
See, that's the problem.
We investigate an event
only when it happens.
Otherwise we just ignore it.
Something happened on that date.
You have my attention now.
How much do you know
about Sumerian civilization?
One of the ancient civilizations on Earth.
It's also a civilization of many firsts.
First in advancement of astronomy,
mathematics, science, agriculture,
urban planning, etc.
They could have never done it
without the help
of an advanced alien civilization.
They couldn't have
achieved all this without any help.
So, what if I told you,
God is not the reason for
the advent of the first man on Earth,
but this advanced alien race.
Would you believe this?
Did you watch
Interstellar only last night?
Vish, I know you're a huge fan of Nolan,
but let's talk science, not fan fiction.
You can't stand
if I talk fan fiction to you.
Whatever.
So the Americans never landed on the moon.
Director Stanley Kubrick shot
fake moon landings in Area 51.
It was a close secret for decades.
But he revealed it subtly in The Shining.
So the government eliminated him.
Right?
- Are you drunk, Vish?
- That is fan fiction.
What I'm saying is serious news.
Please, pay some attention.
Okay, go on.
The creation and colonization of our world
and the universe as we know it
was done by the Anunnaki.
An extremely intelligent species
from the future.
If your head is spinning,
how do I continue?
We are just getting started, my friend.
Which brings us to the second section.
Astrology.
- What?
- What the stars foretell.
The influence of planets on our lives.
Do you believe in this?
Not really.
I thought as much.
Based on planetary positions,
how do astrologers predict
many events in our lives?
When to do or not do something specific.
And if done correctly,
most of the time, they are right. How?
See, our body is made up of the same
elements that make up this universe.
Planetary positions at the time
of our birth decide our life.
So are you trying to say
our life is not under our control?
I know it's a depressing thought, but yes.
Hold on.
First you spoke about some strange-ass idea
about the origin of the Earth.
Now you're talking about astrology.
Where exactly are you heading with this?
We are in a computer simulation.
What the fuck?
Come again.
This entire universe
is a computer simulation
done by the Anunnaki.
An ancestral simulation, to be precise.
This astrology and planetary positions
I mentioned just now
are indications of each individual's life.
Like a customized program on a device.
Like a video game.
What we think is true need not be real.
What thought should flash
in your mind at a certain time
and how you should react to it.
Everything is pre-programmed.
The concept of free will is a joke.
If everyone starts thinking alike,
we will not have a society.
And study history carefully.
Every important event for mankind,
it just keeps repeating itself
in different ways.
You know what?
Actually, this is a joke.
I trusted you and came all this way.
You're just giving me strange fan fiction.
I think I just heard enough of your bullshit.
Where are you going?
Sit down.
I asked for 15 minutes of your time.
I still have time left.
Sit down.
I'll have the whisky now.
Oh, my God.
The look on your face.
I wanted to reserve the demo
for the end of my explanation,
but you were too hasty.
Do you mind explaining what just happened?
Not at all.
But first, why don't you relax?
We have two worlds, Krishna.
One is the planet
of our conscious reality,
where we are living now.
The other
is a planet of our subconscious reality.
Our dream world.
If one is a CPU,
then the other is a battery.
For this to run smoothly,
this gives the power supply.
In this world,
every human mind
is connected to a higher network.
You can call it God, Anunnaki,
a superintelligent being or whatever.
It's all the same.
That's why whatever I see or hear
is the same as what you see or hear.
We are all connected.
How is this connected
to what just happened?
On December 21st, 2012,
the planet of our subconscious reality,
our dream world, started disintegrating.
Okay.
Earth's population is about eight billion.
Which means about eight billion links
should have ensured
our dream world is stable.
But in the last eight years,
these links began to disappear.
In another 50 years,
our dream world will be deleted.
With that,
mankind will no longer be able to dream.
In that case,
this is just a backup, right?
The main system
is still functioning, right?
Like I said, science is weird.
Things can happen
contrary to what we imagine.
Come.
Keep an open mind, Krishna.
What the hell is this?
This is called The Drifter.
I constructed this to study
the dream state further.
But science doesn't work
the way we want it to.
Well, studying about dreams
doesn't sound complex to me.
Yes, but the idea
was to let the mind run free,
so we can record the subconscious
activity taking place inside.
And?
And connect what I told you
when we were downstairs.
You'll find the answer.
It's not helping one bit, Vishnu.
I said your death is decided
at the time you're born, right?
What I meant was
that your entire life is pre-programmed
in your subconscious mind,
and if you can just gain access to it
You can access the future.
Not just that.
You also gain access to the Creator.
You mean?
I don't want to use
the word "God," but the Creator, yes.
And what's this?
If I tell you the truth,
will you judge me?
Trust me. If I wanted to judge you,
I would've done that long back.
Fine.
That's an extract of DMT.
The God molecule.
What?
- Isn't that a psychedelic?
- Kind of.
So, in the name of science and research,
you've been tripping every day, isn't it?
I don't support drugs.
But it's the only way
I'm able to explore certain dimensions.
- Now I got my answer.
- What?
Nothing.
With thousands of years
of human evolution,
however much we progress,
there's still no answer
to what life's ultimate purpose is.
All religions profess to know the answer.
But if you go in search of it,
they claim only God knows the answer.
Some questions are better left unanswered.
I learnt it the hard way.
Once I constructed this, I
I drifted.
While I was hoping to go deeper
into my subconscious mind,
this actually took me to my past.
What?
How is that even possible?
Past, present, future are not different
dimensions as far as time is concerned.
They are all happening parallelly.
Time in itself is a different realm.
You just have to cut through your
conscious mind to be able to access it.
Just like time travel.
But only our mind
travels to our past and future.
The body stays here.
That's why I called this the Drift.
The problem is
we can't decide the date and time.
And when we are in the Drift,
we won't even know
we are in it till it ends.
So you won't be able to carry
the memories of your present.
No.
When I drifted,
it was only for ten minutes.
But without realizing it,
my mind relived my entire life.
Gosh! That sounds
like the worst punishment, man.
It is.
The greater the suffering,
the greater the reward.
So tell me, why can't we decide the time?
Everybody thinks our past influences
our present and future, right?
What if I told you that the future
influences our past and present?
Just imagine.
Ten years from now,
your future version knows how you will be.
Your past and present will know how
they will be linked by your decision.
Like a road map to a destination.
So the concept of free will is a joke?
When I finished my Drift,
I knew that I had made a big mistake.
Something terrible happened, Krishna.
Vishnu?
What the fuck happened?
When I was in my Drift, I
I think I changed something from my past.
When I woke up,
my wife and son were not there.
It's like they didn't even exist.
And I never got married to Lakshmi.
And now they are not a part of my life.
Lakshmi.
Rishi?
An obsession to see
something beyond our intelligence
is never a good idea.
It will kill you
one way or another.
Now I'm left with memories
of a world that doesn't exist.
The concept with the Anunnaki
I told you in the beginning,
and this world being
a computer simulation program is true.
What happens when you mess
with the program and create a glitch?
I went back into my past
and changed that program,
and then my subconscious mind
transcended into this reality.
What you saw outside was
the physical form of my subconscious mind.
I just have to think,
and my subconscious mind
does the work for me.
Physical laws
of this world are not applicable.
I've brought the greatest weapon
into this world, Krishna.
The ability to make
my imagination a reality.
If not used properly, this could
This could destroy the world.
What have you done?
The 15 minutes I asked for are up.
Thank you for coming.
What's this?
Project Agni.
Take a look
when you're back in your car, not now.
How can you be sure
you're not in a Drift now?
I know I'm a mad man,
but even I don't have the guts
to get into this thing ever again.
There's always a "what if?"
What if you are drifting now
five to ten years from the future?
For that to happen, I would've had to
commit an unpardonable crime
by creating a doomsday,
and decided to drift back
not knowing I am in one,
and not knowing how to stop it.
Why did you need to tell me all this?
Because
Because not sharing
the knowledge that one has is a crime.
That's why.
Come with me.
I'll get you a meeting at Delhi.
Let the people know
the seriousness of this.
I can't, Krishna,
I have some unfinished business here.
More important than this?
Kind of.
Okay.
Dear Krishna,
abundance of intelligence is a curse.
Something which I realized a little late.
For the last five years,
I had an assistant.
His name is Kalki.
He helped a lot
as I was building this Drifter.
As a part of the experiment,
he also drifted,
bringing his subconscious
into this reality.
Power can change a man any which way.
Maybe that is why the Creator
decided to keep it to Himself.
The thought of him becoming superior
to other humans corrupted Kalki's mind.
It was the beginning of
the creation of a monster.
A monster who could destroy this world.
When he left me, he took
a copy of the blueprint with him
with the intention
of building another Drifter.
So, find Kalki
and destroy him before it's too late.
The Drifter's blueprint and the necessary
chemical formula for its Solution A
are both in this briefcase.
Show this to your people
so that they believe my story.
Kalki just has the blueprint,
but without Solution A, it is useless.
I cannot live with the guilt
of wiping away my family.
So I'm taking the leap of faith.
Either I'll wake up
or I'll be gone forever.
I was so obsessed with
looking into the past and the future
that I forgot to appreciate
how beautiful the present was.
The moments I spent
in flesh and blood with the ones I love.
I trust you to do the right thing.
Goodbye, my friend.
Hi, Vish.
Surprise!
Sorry, dude.
Flight delay.
She was waiting
for a chance to visit her city.
Your call was all she needed.
It was enough for madam.
Krish
What is happening here?
The Drifter's blueprint and the necessary
chemical formula for its Solution A
are both in this briefcase.
What you saw outside was
the physical form of my subconscious mind.
I just have to think,
and my subconscious mind
does the work for me.
I've made a huge mistake.
- Now I got my answer.
- What?
Nothing.
What mistake?
Kalki just has the blueprint,
but without Solution A, it is useless.
