Crash Course (2022) s01e05 Episode Script

1
Stop here.
Anil Baid. Room 207.
Anil.
Son.
Anil.
The number you have dialed
is switched off. Please
Open the door, son.
Anil.
Anil!
Open the door, son.
Anil!
I tried my best
but I didn't do well.
Why are you crying?
What happened?
Why are you crying?
What happened, son?
Sit
Sit down.
Come on.
What happened?
Anil, stop crying.
Don't cry.
You're an intelligent boy.
Let's go back to Khurja, Papa.
But why?
Let's go back.
Why do you want to return to Khurja?
I'm not in Section B, Papa.
I know that.
But your rank has
improved significantly now.
Anil, you have done really
well in the last few weeks.
It's the first time we've seen
you study so hard.
We were happy to see this.
You will stay right here.
Just work hard.
Stay focused.
Let's take it one step at a time.
Right now, focus on moving from
Section C to Section B.
Anirudh can
join an institute later.
Anirudh still has a few years
before his IIT entrance exam.
You know,
Anirudh broke his piggy bank.
He wants to take us out for lunch
with that money.
He has asked us to meet him
at the hotel later.
Are you feeling better?
We are proud of you, son.
Love you, Papa.
I will leave now.
Alright?
What do you think will happen?
No clue. His father was worried.
What's wrong, bro?
I'm scared.
Why are you scared?
Binny will take care of things.
We are here with you.
They are coming here.
So, are you happy, Mr. Sushil?
Now both your sons can study here.
All thanks to you
You know that I can't afford to pay
for even one of them.
Please don't worry.
We'll take your leave.
I was wondering if
I can take the kids home for dinner
I will drop them off at the hostel later.
Okay, if you say so.
Ani, let's go. Don't be late.
I'll get an auto for Uncle.
-Yeah, go on.
-Please come this way.
You needn't worry.
They'll be fine.
Thank you, brother.
Congratulations.
-I've done it for you.
-Party!
We'll see that your brother
grows up quickly.
Can you grow up a little?
Come here! Come on!
Aviral!
Rakesh!
What?
-Yeah.
-Come dance.
Anil
Binny, do you like kids?
No.
But it's good to see them together.
Parents tell their children
"Studies are important
and so is your career.
You can make friends later."
Nonsense!
This friendship
is the only real friendship.
If you don't have friends at this age,
then you never will.
Come.
Did you like my place?
Oh, yes.
How did you know that you
don't want to become an engineer?
"To succeed in Kota you need two things.
A sharp brain for academics
and a passion for IIT."
Batra sir said this in his first lecture.
At that exact moment I realized,
I'm not meant for engineering.
Because my passion was not IIT.
All I know is that I don't want to
return to Khurja as a failure.
I want to gift a good life to my parents.
It's not been easy for them,
bringing us up.
-Okay, Saad
-Yeah?
can you make a slide
of the general terms?
-Yeah. Okay.
-Okay?
And Payal, can you make another slide
of the sex chromosomes in human beings?
Yeah? And guys, I'll be doing
the presentation.
And we just have 15 more minutes, okay?
Are we done with this?
We're just
Aunty, I'm in class.
Why didn't you answer
my call last night?
If it ever happens again,
I'm sending your uncle over.
-Then don't complain
-I'll call you later, please.
Bye.
Shanaya, you okay?
Yeah.
Wow!
Fantastic!
Couldn't you find someone better
than that illiterate Education Minister
for the inauguration?
Mr. Parmar recently moved from transport
to the education department.
He is the butt of all jokes.
If we make him feel important now,
he'll prove beneficial to us
in the long run.
It's very difficult to accommodate
250 students in each classroom, Shashank.
I mean
can we postpone the launch?
Only if you seat 250
in a class meant for 50
you'll get popular.
In tomorrow's meeting, we will decide
the future of our institute.
You're part of the Batra family now.
Whatever I'm doing is good for both of us.
Hi, my name is Vidhi Gupta.
JEE Main student at R.J. Institute.
My rank is 23 in Batch A,
which means I get 24x7 library access,
75% discount after four months
and many other perks
which will help me top the JEE Main exam.
Thank you R.J.
Choosing R.J. was the best decision
I've ever made.
Jindal all the way!
Vidhi Gupta.
One out of the three
girl toppers from R.J.
The number of students coming to Kota
has been the same for the last two years.
No growth.
And the same is reflected in
the numbers of every institute
Whether we admit it or not,
these numbers will fall further
in the next couple of years.
So
how do we beat this problem?
How do we keep growing?
Anyone?
Harsh?
There won't be any external growth.
Things are not changing.
Even IIT seats are the same.
More and more IIT coaching centers
are popping up all over India.
I'm afraid
Kota won't have a USP.
Should we increase the advertising budget?
If we use money as our weapon,
Jindal will always win.
You know, when Papa started
Batra Classes,
he didn't have any advertisements
or even a website.
He just had ten brilliant students.
Today, R.J. claims that they
have 50 prospective toppers.
And three of them are girls.
The best part is that Jindal has no idea
that he's sitting on a gold mine.
I'll tell you how
Most parents in India
dream of making their son an engineer.
Right?
But times are changing.
Parents are seeking admission
for their daughters,
in fields that were
earlier dominated by boys.
The same will happen with engineering.
As soon as one girl makes
it to the AIR Top 10.
If and when a girl comes into the Top 10
it will open a whole new
floodgate of business.
Girl aspirants.
So
is there any girl in Batra or HMI,
who can make it to the Top 10?
I think there is one girl.
Bhumika, who is it?
Room 201.
-Akanksha?
-No, it's Payal.
Oh, God!
I don't know why she did this.
She was having some pills every day
Don't cry.
We're here for you.
You please take care.
Vidhi.
Vidhi!
Vidhi.
Payal is hospitalized.
I know.
The ambulance scared me.
I'm telling you
one of us is going to be on
a stretcher in the next two years.
Just chill. We don't need to worry.
Of course, you don't need to worry.
You have many friends.
And you have me as your friend.
I'll take care of you,
if you let me call you T.P.
T.P.
T.P.?
Okay, fine! Give me a hug.
T.P.
-Should we call A.B.?
-A.B. who?
Anil Baid.
Very Baid idea!
Baid idea!
Hey, listen
should we take a break?
It's not 2:00 p.m. yet.
Why are you so stressed all the time?
Forget the timetable today.
And whose idea was it
to make a timetable?
If I don't stress about my studies,
my performance will nosedive,
just like Sathya's.
Yeah
I wonder how he's dealing
with getting demoted from A to C.
Thankfully, he has just
landed up in Section C,
and not on a stretcher
on the way to a hospital!
Bro
I've always thought of
myself as a Panther.
Now pay 500 bucks and
become an official member.
Membership fees?
The respect you'll get as a Panther
will be worth five million bucks.
And you think 500 bucks is a lot?
No, no.
Why don't I give you 1000?
Advance for next year as well.
You can move in on Sunday.
Do I have to move in, Suraj?
Why are you taking the trouble?
Trouble?!
So, I just wasted my time
setting up your room?!
Start packing.
And stop being a punching bag
to your boxer friend.
You wanted to become a boxer?!
Boxer?
I belong to a typical North-Indian family.
My dad is a farmer,
he has a lot of land and three sons.
He decided for us.
The eldest son would be a farmer.
The middle son will join the military
and the youngest, that's me,
will become a boxer.
I trained for six months,
but something about it
didn't sit right with me.
What?
I'm in the ring, okay?
My opponent is in front of me.
This boy is just like me
and I'm punching him
his face is all bloodied
and that was the day I
Was your dad happy when
you quit boxing and moved to Kota?
-No fucking way.
-What?
I mean,
my brothers still call me a scaredy-cat.
Dad taunts me as well.
Only Mom understands me.
Everyone else
Come on
Boxer
it's okay.
I'm not weak.
I just want to clear II
and prove to my dad
that not every child is born to be
a farmer, a boxer, or an army officer.
You never talk about your family.
Were they okay with your
decision to move to Kota?
Why do you want to know
about my family?
Sujata, get the tiffin.
We're friends, aren't we?
I'd like to know you better
We aren't friends yet.
Shamim!
Why aren't you here?
Who'll deliver the food now?
You can't take leave so often.
-Do you expect me to deliver
-I'll do it.
Relax.
I'll deliver the food. I have a cycle.
I promise I won't eat it on the way.
You better not!
Promise!
Okay, here you go.
Good night.
Good night.
Thank you.
Here.
Take this. You too.
Do you feel anything?
No.
What about you?
Fuck, no!
Shamim is fooling us.
There was no weed in it none.
I'm just farting nonstop.
Bro, let's not get it from them next time.
I feel so bloated.
I don't feel high at all!
Do you feel something?
(a-b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2
(a-b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2
(a-b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2
No
nothing.
No
I'm feeling hot. Let me turn up the fan.
No!
Give me one of those.
Give me the smaller one.
Damn! It's useless.
True, bro. I feel nothing.
Yeah, even I don't feel anything.
Left, right, center nothing!
Snacks laced with weed.
They were scattered all over
the second and third floors, sir.
Tejal Patel.
Yes, sir.
I've heard a lot about you
from your teachers.
All good things, of course.
-Thank you, sir.
-If you keep performing like this,
you can get a very good rank in JEE.
But,
if you do as we say,
you can be in AIR Top 10.
A girl topper.
I'll try my best, sir.
Thank you so much.
He will brief you about everything.
These are Batra's internal past papers.
Start solving them.
Try to finish three papers every day.
What's wrong?
Nothing, sir.
I'll do that, sir.
Three papers every day.
Thank you so much, sir.
Good.
Tejal Patel.
Yes, sir?
We all have very high hopes from you.
I've personally spoken to all HODs,
you can go to them anytime,
with any doubts.
And if there's anything else you need,
come to me directly.
Best of luck.
Thank you so much, sir.
What do you think?
It's a gamble.
Let's play.
-Hello, ma'am.
-Hello, how are you?
Good.
Wow.
-Thank you so much.
- Anytime.
Hi.
Dear Lord, please bless me
and forgive my mistakes.
-Look what I've got for you.
-Later.
I'm stressed!
I am so stressed, Vidhi.
Really stressed.
I'd gone to Payal's room,
to cheer up Akanksha.
But now I'm depressed!
Here, this will reduce
your stress levels.
Where did you get these?
No clue, Sucheta from R.J. got these
for me when I made it to the Top 25.
Can I take one?
It's from Batra.
Batra, R.J., Radium, Moonshine,
Sunshine, they're the same.
This question is wrong.
It's unsolvable.
Option two.
How?
When the light enters the
medium of refractive index μ,
its P decreases to C by μ.
So C is the speed of light?
The mess will close in 15 minutes.
Let's go and have dinner.
You go ahead.
Mom, how are you?
Why are you up so early?
I didn't sleep.
I was studying the whole night.
You were really studying, right?
Yes, Mom!
Look, I made tea.
Look at this!
We've removed your dad's gadget.
What? The gadget's been removed?
How is Dad now?
-How are you both doing?
-I am doing well.
-Great to hear that.
-How's Vidhi?
Vidhi! She is sleeping.
-Okay, let her sleep.
-Vidhi, say hi to Mom.
-Hi, Vidhi.
-Hello, Aunty.
She is sleepy.
-She's with me all day.
-Alright.
-How are you?
-I'm alright!
You've put on weight, Mom!
-Thank you.
-Come in.
Students, you may enter.
Please come in.
Welcome. Please come.
Please come in.
Come, child.
Welcome.
Heartiest congratulations, Harish.
-Congratulations.
-Thank you, Shashank. Thank you.
To new success and greater,
greater heights.
To both of us.
Binny, I don't get it.
You organized a merger
without any money
and no commission for us?
We will get it
in due course.
That's why you are where you are.
I just don't understand your ways.
Who is it?
Commission.
Hello. I thought you
wouldn't answer my call.
And I thought you would never call.
HMI in association with Batra
How did you do this?
For some, their name and identity
mean more than money.
Very well said.
I'm old, but there is so much to learn
from youngsters like you.
Do you know why I called?
You want to put an end to HMI-Batra.
As always, Binny, you're correct.
Absolutely correct.
I can't lose to a fucking saree salesman!
I can't lose to
a motherfucking broker, K.D.
Do you have a plan, to finish HMI?
Yes.
But it will be expensive.
How many zeroes?
For you.
Kota won't be Kota after this.
Kota shouldn't be Kota anyway.
Write this down.
-Sharma?
-Double.
-Yadav, triple?
-Yes.
Hello, sir, what would you
like to have?
-One black coffee
-Cars! Ten!
Two black coffees.
-Definitely, sir
-Add milk.
Daga triple.
He is a difficult one.
He still uses a bloody scooter.
Find out his wife's birthday
and get him a top model.
You remembered my birthday?
What's the time?
All 20 teachers are gone, Harsh sir.
There's no one here.
-Thank you, sir.
-Thank you, enjoy yourself.
Sir, Prof. Kunal Shah.
Ah, Prof. Kunal Shah.
Thank you very much.
Million thanks for joining R.J. Institute.
It's a tremendous pleasure for us.
Thank you so much, sir.
I'm so grateful.
Enjoy, this is your evening.
Thank you, sir.
Welcome.
Yes, Mr. Jindal?
Prof. Kunal Shah
wasn't an easy one.
How did you get him?
I told you, Mr. Jindal,
some things cannot be
bought with money.
What was more important than
money for Prof. Kunal Shah?
I promised him that he'll be
the Mathematics HOD.
And K.D.?
I'm sure you'll handle him.
One peg. Double.
I'm sorting things out.
Shashank, what the fuck
Won't you say something?
What can I say?
You wanted to talk, speak up
No, this is not done!
You have to answer me!
It's too late.
What do you mean by "It's too late"?
Do you know?
He has poached
every single one of them!
How the hell did Jindal do it?
Jindal is a master at these games.
This is the new Kota,
where every big fish is waiting
to swallow the smaller ones!
Shashank!
Listen to me carefully,
I have a strategy.
We will
hire new teachers.
Else the parents will be furious.
And offer them a big discount
for the next session.
Where are the funds?
I'll figure something out.
We will arrange for funds.
Together we will work something out.
I can't shut down HMI for lack of funds.
Your HMI has already shut down, Harsh.
What did you just say?
I said
Your HMI
has shut down, Harsh!
What is an institute made of?
Buildings, teachers, and students.
You never owned a building,
the teachers have left,
and we are transferring the students
to Batra Institute.
We are the majority shareholders,
still, we gave you importance.
But no one can save an institute
that cannot retain its teachers.
Sooner or later it would have shut down.
It was nice doing business with you,
now get the fuck out of here.
