Aashram (2020) s01e05 Episode Script

1
Give me your hand.
It's okay.
Hello, Mr. Kaushik.
Seems like you are writing a saga
on Baba Nirala's life.
You know how time-consuming
such work can be, Mr. Kaushik.
And the CM personally
asked me to investigate.
I just need one last statement.
It was a task to
convince the party for one.
I assure you, the saga will include
Baba's past, present and future.
Hurry up, sir. My brother-in-law
does not like to be kept waiting.
Yes, of course. Okay, sir.
Wait a minute, sir.
Sir, your phone please.
Sir.
You may proceed, sir.
When did you marry Baba Nirala?
Back then,
he wasn't 'Baba Nirala.'
He was Monty Singh.
He never used to be at home.
He and his friends, they were
running some shady business.
Monty was always hot-tempered.
We used to fight every other day.
IG Sharma tracked down my place?
IG Sharma is very crafty.
He might have tricked her
into saying something
she shouldn't have.
What did he ask her?
I called a couple of times.
She never answered.
I'll have to pacify her.
She is still mad at me.
She wants both our sons
to settle down in London
far away from me.
She'll never come back.
The house in London that
she has her eyes on
is worth three million pounds.
We can certainly
get her the house.
But what's the guarantee that
she won't say anything
against you?
Her demands are ever-increasing.
Anyway, let her be.
Focus on IG Sharma.
ETERNAL MORTALITY
Monty was also arrested for a day.
Those were tough times.
But I endured it all.
Nobody should ever
have to bear such things.
Being with him was
an absolute nightmare
Now when I look back,
those days still haunt me
That day
I cut all ties with him.
And left with my sons.
I don't want him or his ashram,
anywhere near my children.
I have fought tooth
and nail to raise them.
-Hello?
-Hello. Thank you for calling back.
I am Lucy, Baljit's friend.
You met his mother
Aunt Banno today.
Since you're investigating
on Baba Nirala
I would like to give you some gory
and damaging details
with evidence on him.
I am staying at
Clark's in Lucknow.
Room 301.
-Mr. Sharma?
-Yes.
Please come. I was waiting for you.
You speak Hindi?
I try.
I have a lot of Indian friends.
Please come.
Please have a seat.
Please sit.
What would you like to have?
Evidence.
What about some wine?
Mr. Sharma, you know what?
I thought this Baba
will teach me Indian culture.
Yoga, 'Nirvana.'
I was in awe.
I was very impressed with him.
Then slowly everything changed.
He is not a godman.
He is a conman.
He is a cheat.
He conned my family
and took over our villa in Paris.
What he did to me was wrong.
He even tried to
sexually exploit me.
Then I started collecting
proofs against him.
These are my Paris property papers.
I have video recordings as well.
I had lost all hope.
But now
you are my hope.
My only hope.
I want this Baba behind bars.
I want justice.
Expose this Baba!
Only you can do this, Mr. Sharma.
Please.
Do not spare him.
Put him in jail.
You are my only hope.
He is not a Baba,
he is a criminal.
You are so kind-hearted.
I've never met a man like you.
I feel safe with you.
Mr. IG
looks like he's getting
some action after ages.
I just want everyone to be happy.
He got the ultimate pleasure.
Now he will attain salvation.
Lucy is already on
her flight to Paris.
And this guy is still asleep.
Lucy?
Hello?
Good morning, Mr. Sharma.
Your performance last
night was absolutely splendid.
Lucy returned to Paris
feeling quite satisfied.
So, when do we hold
the public screening
of your rocking performance?
Bhopa sir?
I made a mistake, Bhopa sir.
I am sorry.
You don't have to apologize,
Mr. Sharma.
When a babe like Lucy
cries on your shoulder
you are bound to lose control.
She's a top-class temptress
and never fails a mission.
Bhopa sir
Sir, I made a huge mistake.
Please forgive me.
I am willing to make
any deal you offer.
Sharma, we work towards
the well-being of the society.
We don't play
games and make trivial deals
like your CM, Mr. Sundarlal.
Go ahead and do your job.
You've put in a lot of
effort investigating me.
Go and make them happy.
Babaji
Dialled number doesn't exist.
Please check the number
you have dialled.
This is absolute treachery.
It's torture.
Babaji is being unfair to me.
What are you saying, Satti?
How is this treachery?
Babaji had
clearly said that
these women have been
rejected by the society.
Babaji would never use words like
'prostitute' and 'sex workers.'
You didn't get it.
But everyone else knew.
No, I won't do this!
Not at all!
Satti, don't be stupid.
Babaji won't
give you another chance.
And if you act stupid today
He will have both you and
Pammi kicked out of the ashram.
Remember that.
1,100?
Where did he find so many women?
Sir
our country is filled with
unemployed men and rejected women.
Out of the 1,100 of them
so many must have already gotten
married in various other ashrams.
They get the same woman
married multiple times?
Yes.
Have they hired
professional matchmakers?
Sir, these things
are not your concern.
You are the ex-chief minister.
You should be concerned
about yourself.
There will be a massive
crowd over there,
media all over the place.
Your face will be on every
news channel tonight.
"Mr. Hukum Singh,
a passionate feminist."
We, the people of the ashram
are grateful for
your participation.
I request the guests
and the family members
to make way for the
brides and the grooms
and let them proceed
towards the stage.
Please follow your
respective queues
and collect your lucky number
drawn by Mr. Bhopa.
Take a seat on the chair as per
number mentioned in your envelope.
Your brother is doing a noble deed.
Why is he so sad?
Because he doesn't realize
how noble the deed is.
Babaji is going to take
the stage in a few moments.
And with his blessings
Ma'am
I don't know what to do.
Where do you think you are, lady?
Your token number is 28.
This one says 26.
Come, I will take you there.
That's more like it!
She's the perfect
sister-in-law material.
It's a marvellous and
an overwhelming sight.
Why isn't Baba here to receive us?
Sir, not only are we
a thing of the past
we're also late to the event.
He must be on the stage already.
Hail Babaji!
We praise you forever!
Hail Babaji! of Kashipur!
And here we have,
our guest of honour
and a firm supporter of
women empowerment,
please welcome
the Honourable Mr. Hukum Singh.
Hukum Singh is not only the most
celebrated leader of the state
but also an ardent
devotee of the ashram.
Despite his busy schedule
Hukum Singh visits the
ashram whenever he can
and never fails to
seek Babaji's blessings.
Hail Babaji!
We praise you forever!
I request all the servicemen
to have the brides stand
before their respective grooms
as per the numbers allocated.
We'll soon begin the ceremony.
But before that
Babaji would like to address
all the devotees present here.
Hail Babaji of Kashipur!
Today
is an extremely joyous
day for the ashram.
Till now, these 1,100 women in
here, were deemed as outcasts.
But today they begin a new chapter.
Firstly
I'd like to thank these 1,100
brave men of the ashram
who selflessly volunteered
for a noble cause like this.
I am proud of you all!
A lot of my followers
don't know this
but complying to the
ancient traditions
I was married
off at a young age.
I have two children as well.
But when Maharaj ji chose me
Hail Baba Mansukh ji Maharaj.
Hail Baba Mansukh ji Maharaj!
He said
"This ashram is your family
and you are the father."
I didn't give it a
second thought.
I renounced my family.
And today
I have a huge family
that's happy and fulfilled.
I am as ecstatic as
a father would be while giving
away his daughter.
I pray
that all of you have a
blissful life full of love.
You have my blessings.
-Hail
-The messiah of the poor!
Brides and grooms,
please exchange garlands.
I request all the couples to
seek blessings from their parents.
The ones whose parents
aren't present here
will go to the old-age home
and seek blessings of the elderly.
-Greetings, sister-in-law.
-Greetings.
I am Pammi. Satti's little sister.
Henceforth, I am your sister too.
What's your name?
Babita.
Babita!
It's lovely.
Just like you.
Welcome to our sweet little family.
I'd like to request our
guest of honour to say a few words.
The Honourable Mr. Hukum Singh.
Greetings.
I am overwhelmed by this sight.
I want to
thank Babaji from
the bottom of my heart.
For he invited me to this event.
I salute him
for he rescued so many women
from a life of dread
and misfortune
and blessed them with a new life.
Only a noble saint
like him can do this.
And as long as we have
great men like Babaji
nobody can stop our country
from reaching new heights.
That's why
I'd like to request Babaji
to accept a small
contribution of
1,11,00,111 rupees
towards the ashram's NGO.
-Hukum Singh
-Is the leader we deserve!
Long Live Hukum Singh!
Long Live Hukum Singh!
-Hail
-The messiah of the poor!
-Hail
-The messiah of the poor!
Mr. Hukum Singh,
I'm glad you came to the ashram.
I am seeing you after
almost four years.
-Right?
-Yes.
Babaji,
I sincerely apologize
for visiting you after so long.
Please don't apologize.
You are a politician.
You barely have any time.
This is what I call the 'elixir.'
Please have some.
It's a wondrous drink.
It will open up all your senses.
Is this the secret
to your great health?
If it were my secret
I wouldn't have
revealed it so easily.
Bhopa told me
you need the ashram's blessings,
to secure 20 seats
in the upcoming elections.
Yes, Babaji.
The ashram has complete
control over these seats.
So, your blessings
are of utmost requirement.
Babaji has an
influence all over the province.
20 seats won't be enough.
You are right, Bhopa.
But according to the
survey we conducted
the ashram has control over
20 seats in the western province.
Is that all you found
out from the survey?
Well, let me tell you that
the ashram has
44 lakh registered devotees.
Bhopa
these devotees are from
the neighbouring provinces.
The votes from outside the province
won't help me.
Those 20 seats are
all the ashram has.
Bhopa.
There's nothing to argue about.
Hukum wants 20 seats.
Give him 20 seats.
The rest is up to him.
Babaji can read everyone's mind.
He is absolutely right.
Bhopa, let's finalize 20 seats
for now.
We'll deal with the rest later.
Babaji, please tell us
how to go about it.
The financial matters
of the ashram
are handled by Bhopa.
So, he will tell you.
Five crores per seat.
What do you think?
Bhopa, that's too much.
That's way too much.
Mr. Hukum Singh, we also
conducted a little survey.
One MLA gives you a profit of two
to three crores in a year.
That amounts to 12 to 15 crores
in five years.
Excluding the
expenses for the ticket.
There is no scope for loss.
Only profits.
Bhopa, that's not how the
number game works in politics.
I have a budget of two crores.
I have to contest
the elections as well.
These days, it's very expensive
to contest elections.
If I give away all
the money to you
how will I run the state?
Hukum, do you think that
Bhopa wants the money
for himself?
The money
goes towards the ashram's schools,
colleges, hostels, hospitals,
old-age homes,
and all other facilities.
We work towards
the well-being of the society.
That's why people give their
vote to whomever I tell them to.
No questions asked.
I apologise, Babaji.
But if I knew it would cost me
this much, I'd have done it myself.
Oh, really? Then why didn't you?
'Full of airs, though vanquished.'
This proverb suits you very much.
You are eagerly
willing to buy people's votes
but it bothers you to contribute
towards their betterment.
Fine, go ahead and do it yourself.
Don't bother coming here again.
Babaji, that's
not what he meant.
Bhopa
how about three crores?
That's too less.
Please adjust a bit.
We go way back, don't we?
Babaji, let's finalize
on three and a half.
We really need your blessings.
Hail Babaji!
That ahole Hukum Singh
all his ancestors
were kings and queens.
That's why he thinks
that he's entitled to be one.
But he doesn't know
that these days,
saints rule the world, not kings.
What you did served him right.
You showed him his place.
I had to.
Because he was being rude to you.
But he was absolutely right.
What are you saying, Monty?
What was he right about?
Two beers down
and you start calling me Monty
instead of Babaji.
I also like it when
you call me Bhope.
Hukum didn't say anything wrong.
The ashram has
only 20 seats in hand.
Look, Monty
I have worked vigorously
for the ashram to have
power over the people.
I am absolutely certain
that the ashram has
power over the entire state.
But will the entire state vote
Hukum if I ask them to?
No, right?
The ashram needs to have
more power over the people.
And that's possible only when
the youth joins the ashram.
The youth?
Which youth?
They know nothing,
they are always confused.
They are going down and they will
take the ashram down with them.
No, Bhope.
They are confused and misled
because they are unemployed.
They need work
and we need workers.
You're going on and
on about the youth
Tell me, would they be interested
in your sermons?
What you are saying
is impossible, Monty.
You know how bad I am at English.
I failed it twice in high school.
I could never understand the word
'impossible.'
Then one day,
my English teacher told me
"In life, nothing is impossible."
Then said, "Ask me why?"
Why? Why?
"Because when you break
down the word 'impossible'
you get 'I-am-possible.'
So, whenever you face
the dilemma of impossible
break it down."
My teacher used to tell me
"Bhope, you're very sharp!"
S-A-R-P-P: Sarpp!
-Cheers!
-Cheers!
Babaji is so knowledgeable.
I will read them all tonight.
I can't sleep with a lot of layers.
It's okay, let it be
I can't sleep with a
lot of layers either.
It's hot, I mean, warm in here
so I took my kurta off.
When it comes to clothes
we have the same habits.
Are you really this
naive or pretending to be?
What?
Are you a virgin?
I mean, are you a celibate?
Yes! I am a 100% pure celibate.
So you don't know anything?
You do know what
marriage is, right?
Of course. What are you saying?
Then I guess you know
that it is our wedding night.
It won't ever come again.
It's a once-in-a-lifetime
experience for a married couple.
You are right.
Are you going to sleep?
Since it's once
in a lifetime,
I am sure it's not
meant for sleeping.
Right?
Democracy.
Democracy is a
system of government
where everyone has the equal
right to express their views.
Where citizens are
not discriminated against
on the basis of caste,
creed, race or religion.
That's right.
But only the ashram
follows it in the truest sense.
The world is still
ruled by the powerful.
We are lower castes
and the upper castes
oppress us whenever they can.
But Babaji
took a stand for us.
We got the justice and
the honour we deserve.
Babaji is truly a God.
You're right.
Babaji has been gifted
with supreme knowledge.
He's an expert in all subjects.
History, Geography, Physics
and Chemistry, right?
Absolutely.
Hail Babaji!
He represents all forms!
-Hail
-The messiah of the poor!
Hail Babaji of Kashipur!
Mr. Singh has a very long meeting.
At least four to five hours long.
It's okay. I will wait.
Have some tea.
Mr. Hukum Singh.
I have a family.
I'll be left with no option
other than committing suicide.
Please save me.
Please do something.
I need to see Babaji, please.
You should've thought about it
before jumping in bed with her.
Why should I help you meet Him.
What's in it for me?
Now listen carefully.
It will be a win-win
for the both of us.
You ought to get me the
file which has information
on all the deals between the
CM and Mishra Global Projects.
Then I'll see what to do about you.
