Marzi (2020) s01e04 Episode Script

Ayaan.
Are they still harassing you at school?
Of course, they are, dad.
After all, I'm a rapist's son.
Come here.
You know that it is a lie, right?
Actually, I'm sad
because I can't help her.
Dad, don't do anything for her.
But my family is suffering.
You are suffering.
Whatever!
But please don't do anything for her.
I hate her, dad.
'Perhaps you're right.'
'I should divert my attention elsewhere.'
Rashmi, why do you want a transfer?
If you leave, I'll get fat again.
Sir, I met Anurag Saraswat yesterday.
- One moment. Hold on.
Do you want a transfer
because you're scared of him?
No. It's because I'm tired.
Everyone here is like me.
We believed Sameera Chauhan was lying
when she said that she'd invited
Anurag Saraswat home.
Sir, I am also a part of 'everyone'.
Because I'm a part of the system,
I'm thinking the same.
Sir, I'm very tired
of fighting the system.
I will have to give answers
to my children someday.
And who will answer
Sameera Chauhan's questions?
'Please stop here.'
Hello, ma'am.
- Hello.
Are you Mrs Shashi Joshi?
- Yes.
My name is Sameera Chauhan.
Are you Barkha Saraswat's mother?
Yes.
Ma'am, actually, I want
to talk to you about Barkha.
May I come in for a while?
Yes. Please come in. Give me a minute.
I was just cooking one of
Barkha's recipes, star caramel cookies.
She used to really like it.
Barkha was really beautiful.
- Yes.
Was Barkha fond of baking?
- Actually, Falak was.
Barkha used to keep her company.
They were friends since they were kids.
They used to bake cookies at home
and deliver them to people.
Falak ruined my daughter's life.
Anyway, would you like some coffee?
- Yes, please.
I'll make it right away.
How did you know Barkha?
I mean, she never mentioned you.
Actually, ma'am
I don't know how
to say this to you, but
I want to talk to you
about Anurag Saraswat.
How do you know about Anurag?
Ma'am, were there any problems
between Barkha and Anurag?
Barkha committed suicide, and
- That's all that's there to it.
Anurag was a good husband.
And he is a good father.
Yes, ma'am, but I've heard
that Barkha and Anurag
used to fight a lot.
Is there any couple that doesn't fight?
I don't know why modern women like you
like to make a mountain out of a molehill.
The problem was with Barkha.
She was suffering from depression.
Despite that, Anurag was always with her.
Her depression killed her.
It destroyed our family too.
We have come out
of a very dark phase in life.
Don't push us back in there.
Ma'am, Anurag raped me.
Get out of here.
Ma'am
- I said, leave.
Ma'am, I need
- That's enough.
Ma'am, please
- Get out.
Ma'am, please try to
Ma'am, please
- Out. Now.
Today, I applied for my transfer.
You seem determined to leave Shimla.
Yes. I've had enough.
Are you seriously drinking the 'ghol'
that my mom recommended every day?
Mother said that if I drink 'ghol'
every day, the baby will be healthy.
I feel like the day I don't drink it,
she will call me up and scold me.
Rashmi, I suggest that you give it
another thought. There's nothing here.
Anyway, what am I doing here?
As it is, the culprits always get away!
Hold on.
'What happened?'
- Nothing
I've asked Kalpana several times to keep
the rear window shut, but she doesn't.
Anyway
Here you go. Hand
Hi.
- Hello.
Are you Falak?
Sorry, do I know you?
Actually, I wanted to talk to you.
Go ahead.
I just want to know
why Barkha committed suicide.
Barkha was depressed.
I didn't realise it back then.
She was my best friend.
Were there any quarrels
between Barkha and Anurag?
I should have known, right?
Barkha would know
everything about me. But I
I
I'm staying here tonight.
Here's my number.
If you recall anything about them,
or if you want to talk about Barkha,
please call me. Thanks, Falak.
Give me this, please.
- The whole bottle?
No. Just a glass, please.
By the way, a bottle is not
such a bad idea. - Excuse me?
This wine is supposed
to be had like water.
But water is never this tasty.
That is why I drink
more water and less wine.
So that I don't confuse their tastes.
By the way, even I've never
ordered a bottle.
Kabir.
Sameera.
Do you know
what's the biggest problem in life,
and what the solution to it is?
Last-minute flight cancellation.
Let's start with the problem.
When the flight gets cancelled,
one gets angry.
When you get angry,
you fight with the people around you.
When you fight, you vent out
your frustration. When you do that,
you realise
that the solution to the problem
is understanding that anger doesn't help.
How did I learn this?
My flight got cancelled.
You are quite knowledgeable.
- A little too much.
In fact, I've saved this hotel's contact
in my phone as 'Hotel Flight Cancelled'.
Okay. I've had my share of wine.
Good night.
- So early?
Yes.
Please have one more drink.
It's too early. - No. I have to leave.
You can't say no to me like that.
Give her another drink
- I said no!
Listen
Kalpana, give me my lunchbox.
- Yes, ma'am.
Here's your lunchbox, ma'am.
You didn't eat yesterday.
Please eat today.
It's not good to stay hungry
when you're pregnant.
Anyway, I'll go.
- Yes. Bye.
Come in, Dr Anurag.
I thought you'd go
on a long vacation. Please sit.
Thank you, ma'am.
Would you like some 'chikki'?
- No, I'm good.
Ma'am, I'm thinking of getting back
to work tomorrow.
So soon?
- Yes.
There was no use of going on a break.
My mind is still stuck in the same place.
When the mind is stuck,
one must do something to free it.
So, I thought instead
of doing something else,
I'd rather save people's lives.
And what about the Sameera Chauhan case?
- The case is closed, ma'am.
It seems it is Sameera Chauhan's old habit
of falsely accusing men.
Anyway, I got rid of that rubbish.
So, ma'am, would there be
any problem if I join?
What are you saying? What problem
could I have? Welcome back. No problem.
Here. Have a 'chikki'. Good news.
Thank you, ma'am.
The satisfaction one gets from helping
others cannot be found elsewhere.
Right?
Hello. Falak?
Before Barkha's suicide,
Anurag and I
We slept together.
I know that it sounds very wrong.
Even I used to think that it was my fault.
That night, Barkha had gone
out of Mumbai with Ayaan.
I invited Anurag for dinner.
We had drinks together.
I think I don't remember anything
about that night because of the drinks.
It's almost as if someone else
was in that room that night.
He mixed something in your drinks too.
Barkha wasn't happy with Anurag.
He used to taunt her and ridicule her
at every opportunity.
According to Anurag, she wasn't capable
of doing anything properly.
He even thought that she wasn't
capable of raising Ayaan.
Because, of course, Anurag is a doctor.
The perfect guy, you know?
Smart, sensible and decent.
- Do you know what the strangest thing is?
Barkha's mother still thinks
that he is perfect.
Of course.
After all, Ayaan is with Anurag.
If she says anything
negative about Anurag
Falak, did Barkha know
about you and Anurag?
It wasn't your fault. Please believe me
when I'm saying this.
Will you come to Shimla with me?
To tell all this to the police.
If Anurag gets away now,
he will do the same thing
to another woman.
I'll go to the hotel and get my things.
Sir.
Hi.
- Hi.
Did you send this?
- Yes.
Sorry, but I can't accept it.
I think last night, I said something
that made you angry.
So, this is an apology for that.
It's fine, but I don't want this.
I'm sorry.
If you don't mind, may I ask why?
Is it necessary to give
a reason for a 'no'?
Isn't a 'no' enough?
Perhaps someone has done
something terrible to you.
But not everyone is the same.
What are you doing here?
Shaan - He must have gone
to visit his parents with Tia.
It's Thursday today.
They usually go on Thursdays.
Please, Nitin. Go away.
Are you drunk? That too, in the afternoon?
I had a few beers
to celebrate my suspension.
They accused me of misusing my powers.
What do you want?
You.
Please, Nitin. Think about this
Isha, I know that you love me.
I can't lie anymore.
- It's the lying that made it exciting.
Get out!
When will Shaan be back?
Why?
He's a good guy.
Let's just tell him about us today.
Please don't even think about it
- Why?
Why should I be the only one
to lose everything, Isha?
My job, my position, you
I have a young daughter.
- She was there earlier too, Isha.
Next Thursday, you
Nitin?
Is everything okay?
- No.
Nitin
- Mom! Mom!
Mom, grandma fed me bitter gourd.
I hate her.
- Why? Don't say that.
Tia, say hello to Uncle Nitin.
- Hello.
Nothing. I just came here
to give Isha an update
about Sameera's case.
Hi, Falak. Shall we go?
Sameera, something has come up.
I won't be able to come with you.
Sometimes, we start
to see ourselves in others' sorrow.
And we try to cover up
our own guilt and our own fault.
Anurag and I made a mistake.
I think I should stop
running away from that mistake.
I'm sorry.
- Falak Falak!
He raped you.
He did it to you, and he did it to me.
If we stay silent, imagine
how many other girls he will
Will you keep blaming yourself
for someone else's mistake all your life?
Had she come here?
Who?
Mrs Joshi. Barkha's mother.
Falak, no matter what she says,
it wasn't your fault!
Sameera, I took her daughter
away from her.
Now, I don't want to take
Ayaan away from her.
Falak, if you don't come with me,
they will shut my case.
Please. I really need you to come.
- I'm sorry, Sameera.
I can't.
- Please help me.
Falak, please. I really need you.
- Please. I'm sorry. I can't.
Falak!
- I'm sorry, Sameera.
Thank you, sir.
So, Rashmi, did you think about
what I said about Sameera Chauhan?
Or did you ignore it like my wife did?
That's what you think, sir.
I have observed Varsha around you.
She listens to you,
she ponders over it for a while,
and then she forgets about it.
So, that's what you will do too.
- Sorry, sir.
Rashmi, your fatigue is
a win for Anurag Saraswat.
It's a loss for me, sir.
I need some time to think about
this loss and make a new plan to win.
So, I'm just going away to have that time.
Rashmi!
Rashmi!
Rashmi!
Are you following me?
I could ask you the same.
You seem busy. See you.
- No. It's okay.
My flight has been delayed.
I have some deep thoughts on delayed
flights too. Do you want to hear them?
As if your deep thoughts
on cancelled flights wasn't enough.
Has your flight not been cancelled?
- Say positive things, please.
Today, this hotel has no vacant rooms.
Listen.
- Yes?
I'm sorry about the flowers.
If someone had given
me such cheap flowers,
even I would have refused to accept them.
So, I don't blame you.
You met me at
a very strange time in my life.
Sameera, you don't owe me an explanation.
Has it ever happened to you
that what you think is just not real?
The people, the places,
the feelings, the relationships
I don't know why,
but I get a very strange feeling.
The feeling of being lost.
Everything seems normal,
and yet nothing is.
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
It's okay.
- I'm so sorry.
So, you're lost.
While trying to search for myself
I'm so scared now.
I've changed so much that I don't even
remember the person I used to be.
I can't go back,
and I don't see a way forward.
If you can't go back,
just close your eyes and move forward.
Problems will never stop chasing you.
Actually, I've read
4-5 books about psychology.
'Great Air, flight number R716
is now ready for departure.'
'Passengers are requested to proceed
for boarding from gate number 7.'
'Inconvenience caused is deeply
regretted.' - Sorry, I've to leave.
It's okay.
- 'Thank you.'
I wish I could have
helped you some more, but
You've already helped me a lot. Thanks.
What is this? What is this!
It's a legal notice.
You're filing a case against me?
A defamation case? You!
After doing all that you did,
how dare you!
I had to dare, Sameera. Think about it.
One social media post of yours ruined
the reputation I created in 15 years.
It broke my son off from his friends.
- You can't do this!
You have raped me. And now,
you want to stifle my voice?
Your voice has been heard
by thousands of people, Sameera.
Now, it's time for my voice to reach them.
What do you think?
That you'd shut me up
by bullying me this way?
The notice clearly says what you must do.
Either you publicly apologise
and admit your fault,
or I'll see you in court.
What fault are you talking about?
What fault? I haven't made any mistake!
You raped me, Anurag Saraswat!
Listen, Sameera. If you co-operate,
we can put an end to this right now.
Take my advice and just apologise.
I promise I won't do anything.
You won't do anything?
Who the hell do you think you are?
A rapist!
Anurag Saraswat is a rapist!
Anurag Saraswat is a rapist!
Anurag Saraswat is a rapist!
- Stop it now!
Anurag Saraswat is a!
- Stop it!
A fucking rapist.
- Stop it.
Let's do one thing.
- Let me go!
I think inside, we
I think we should go indoors and talk.
There's no one home. You can scream
as much as you want. Come on!
Let me go!
I know everything about you.
I know why Barkha committed suicide.
She knew about you and Falak.
You raped Falak.
Barkha couldn't bear to stay
with a disgusting man like you.
Isn't that right? Isn't that right!
You're sick!
- It's quite late in the night, Sameera.
You should go home.
Anything can happen to a woman
who roams alone at night.
Do you know what I mean?
You're sick, Anurag Saraswat.
You're sick in the head.
I never understood
why people enjoyed cycling
early in the morning
during such chilly winters.
Did you get it?
Sameera, I hope you know
what you're doing.
If I had even the slightest doubt,
I wouldn't have planned it.
What's the plan?
It's better if you don't get involved.
I just bought 20 milligrams
of the date-rape drug illegally.
For you. So, I'm already involved.
So, tell me about the plan.
It's best if you don't know.
