Rana Naidu (2023) s01e05 Episode Script

1
Yes, yes! That's the spot!
I'll just get the oil.
Motherfucker!
What the fuck do I pay you
every month for?
To sit at your desk at the CBI
and jerk off all day?
There's an investigation
on my client and me.
When the fuck were you
gonna tell me about this?
The CBI is not involved, Rana.
They don't care about you or your client!
Then who the fuck is this?
Eijaz Sheikh?
What's he trying to dig up?
Rana, I swear. I don't know why he's here
in Mumbai instead of Hyderabad.
But you should know
that the man is a lunatic.
-He's nothing like me.
-What do you mean?
He's honest. And daring.
But if you suspect
that he has come here for you,
then he is definitely here for you.
Take care of him.
I can't do shit!
What if your wife in Mumbai learns
about your wife in Siliguri?
I don't care what you do,
just take care of it.
Eijaz is like a bloodhound, Rana.
Once he's caught your scent,
he doesn't stop.
-Throw him a bone.
-He's not one for distractions.
He'll chase you down and bite your ass.
You've only one option, Rana.
Run.
OB, wake up.
Time to go. Get up.
The priest assured me
the stars are in alignment.
It'll all be fine, OB.
I need to talk to Rana.
Where is he?
-Grab the rest.
-Sure.
Does Rana know I bought a house?
And that we're having a party tonight?
I didn't bother telling him.
Shit. It's Rana!
I…
Naina, can you talk to him?
Don't answer it.
-He'll get angry when he finds out--
-Why would he get angry?
You're a grown man.
Why do you need his permission
for anything?
Besides, you've done nothing wrong.
Bought yourself an apartment,
didn't inform everyone yet,
what's the big deal?
Thanks for all the help.
The place looks great!
You nailed it, Naina.
Didn't I say that you need a woman's touch
to make a home beautiful?
What's with him?
You're sucking the cheer out
with that face.
Nobody's coming to the party.
Once the sun sets,
there'll be a line around the block.
Naina, you're coming, right?
With my munchkins?
Looks tough, Naga.
The kids have school tomorrow.
Told you, Daddy. No one's coming.
I'll slap your face!
This party going to rule!
Start ironing that shirt and get ready.
I am getting a haircut
and making an entrance like a hero!
Get the cuties drooling all over me.
C'mon, get up.
There's more chairs to bring up.
What do you call that hairstyle you got?
The Dog Shit Cut?
You know, I spent 15 years in jail.
If you spent just 15 minutes there
with that thing,
the inmates would pull that shit right off
and glue it to your pubes.
Gimme a sec.
Hyderabad?
You guys are so funny.
Chased him off with your jail jokes.
I wasn't joking, ma'am.
Jail is a legit scary place.
I'd know. I was locked up for 15 years.
Served time for something
I didn't even do.
-Sounds like the plot of a Bollywood film!
-Right on the money.
Prince Reddy is on board
to make a film about my life.
Yeah. Of course.
-What, you don't believe me?
-Of course not.
Everyone's got a film story in this town.
"Dharma gave me a break."
"I'm working with Netflix."
"Prince Reddy is on board
to make a film about my life."
My ex-husband
would go around telling people
that he signed
a three-film deal with Yash Raj.
God knows what's become
of him and his films now.
Ex-husband, eh?
So you're single?
Out of all the things I just told you,
all you heard was "ex-husband"?
Wasn't that the point of your tirade?
You're single. No husband.
Anything in particular, sir?
Yeah.
Just trim the 'burns.
So, what do you think?
Sexiest man alive or what?
Are you sure you got a haircut?
I can't tell the difference.
I look the same then? That's even better.
Right.
-Tara.
-Naga.
Nice meeting you, Naga.
I hope to see your biopic soon.
See ya.
Tara, can I drop you off somewhere?
I got my car.
I was just going to call my driver.
In that case, if you don't mind,
you can drop me off!
Just to my son's house.
He's bought himself a bachelor pad.
Oh, you have a son!
Four sons actually, madam.
I've been busy as a hamster.
Jaffa's having a party at his place.
A housewarming thing.
He's been losing his shit,
thinking no one's gonna come.
So, I was thinking maybe…
Y'know… I was…
-Maybe you…
-Maybe you can drop in, Tara?
You can be straight.
You don't fuck about.
Thing is, Naga,
the 15 years you spent in jail,
everyone stopped fucking about.
Send me the address.
I'll try my best.
The new curtains are pretty, Naina.
But I could have used the old sheets.
You didn't have to buy new stuff.
Curtains, bedsheets, pillowcases, towels.
You needed a complete overhaul.
What can I say, Naina? Thank you.
You really want to thank me?
Get over here, help me out with this.
I am fucking useless!
I'll handle it, Jaffa. It's fine.
No, it's not fine, Naina. It's not fine.
You've bought all these
beautiful things for this place.
My house finally looks like a house.
But I don't deserve it.
It's too nice for me, I'll fuck it up.
I fuck up everything.
-Why are you saying that, Jaffa?
-Because I'm a jackass, Naina!
I'm slow. I'm weak.
That's what you call a loser, Naina.
All three of us spent time with Maharaj.
He didn't have the balls to touch Rana.
When he made a move on Tej,
Tej broke his arm.
I didn't do shit.
Weak.
I was weak.
He knew it. He knew I'd stay quiet.
He wasn't wrong.
I couldn't speak out, Naina.
I was so scared, I couldn't say no.
And if you don't say no,
it's consent. It's yes.
I did this to myself.
It was all my fault.
-It's all my fault.
-No, Jaffa.
It was not your fault.
Men like Maharaj want just that…
that you blame yourself
for whatever happened.
But you did absolutely nothing wrong.
You were just an innocent little kid…
who had absolutely no idea
what was going on.
What could a kid, who didn't have
any control over things, possibly do?
But look at you now.
You've got your own house.
You've got a family.
You're not weak.
You never were.
You never were.
-I couldn't say no to him.
-You were never weak.
This is it.
Just behind the frontal sinus, over here.
But the incision,
that will be made right there.
Barely a scratch.
Just a little nick, you know?
The size of an eyelash.
Just big enough for the laser
to get in and shrink the tumor.
-That's it?
-Technically, yes.
But until we get into it,
we can't really be sure.
Thank you, Doctor.
Doctor…
what are the chances?
Your order, sir?
One kheema pav.
Butter up the pav before heating it.
And a fried egg. Over medium.
No runny yolk.
Not too hard, not too soft. Over medium.
And one black coffee.
I'll add the sugar myself.
And for you, sir?
One bun maska and one black coffee.
Sir, your coffee.
Sugar.
-Coffee. Sugar.
-Thank you.
Excuse me, could you pass me the tissues?
Please.
Excuse me. Would you pass
the tissues? He needs them.
Thank you.
Kheema pav.
Sir.
OB…
OB?
Oh, my God!
How could this happen? He's a VIP patient.
Didn't anybody see him leave?
How in the world is that possi--
-Rana!
-What happened?
Rana! Nobody knows where OB's gone.
I left him alone for two minutes.
They checked on the cameras
and saw him walking out of the gate.
God knows where.
What if something happens?
Nothing's going to happen. I'll find him.
Excuse me.
Snake.
-Sir.
-Snake.
-Sir, are you okay?
-Snake!
Hey!
-How dare you touch my wife!
-Beat him up!
Get him!
He's very cute. I'll take him.
-What do you mean you'll take him?
-I'll pay whatever you want.
-I don't want any money.
-Get lost.
He's my dog.
Who sells their dog like this?
-Go!
-He's not for sale!
You should consider it.
-You'll be rich.
-I'm already rich for fuck's sake.
Have you lost it, man?
All right, down the middle.
Fifty grand. Let's settle it.
What's with this guy? He's been
after me like, "Sell me your dog."
I am not selling my dog! He's my dog!
I had a dog just like this growing up.
We called him Johnny.
He looked just like this.
He just keeps refusing to sell him to me.
-Man, handle him, please!
-Yeah.
I got this, you go on.
-Thank you.
-OB.
-Psycho!
-Come.
You okay?
Ready?
Sit for a moment.
How did you find me?
You probably don't remember.
About ten years ago, you told me…
whenever you need to get away
from it all, you come here.
Yes.
I remember.
It was the same day I asked you
to come work for me.
You know, Rana, I've made a lot
of reckless decisions in my life.
But bringing us together…
was the best decision I have ever made.
I know
you will be at my side when I die.
Perhaps, even after.
I never could father a son of my own.
But I see him in you.
You'll be my son in the next life.
Just like now.
Let's get back to the hospital.
Hmm? I got a 50% chance
of dying on that table.
That makes it a 50% chance
of making it out alive.
Well done.
Let's go.
You're not putting him under?
We can't. The surgery requires him
to talk through it.
It's time.
Yes?
Mr. Eijaz Sheikh.
You think reading comics
makes you a superhero? Huh?
-Watch this.
-Hey! How dare you touch my wife!
Get him!
If the media finds out
that a CBI officer got high on acid
and started fondling the public,
-won't they fire your ass?
-This… this isn't me!
You want to fuck with Prince?
You want to fuck with me? Dumb cunt!
For the next six years,
this is going to test positive for LSD.
Six years.
Does anyone else know
what you've been doing?
No?
No… nobody else. I swear.
Srini…
What are you doing?
No!
Why are you-- I told you everything!
Forget Prince. Forget me.
Forget the case.
And if you can't,
the CBI's getting a package.
Understood?
Good boy.
Rehaan?
Rehaan, please just talk to me.
Stop calling me.
I want nothing to do
with you or your family.
Rehaan, listen!
I have no clue what my dad has done
to you, but I had nothing to do with it.
Wear your shoes.
We're going to a party tonight.
Party? But it's a school night.
Screw school, Ani!
If Dad gave a damn about our school,
we wouldn't be in that shitty school.
Come on, let's go!
-But where are we going?
-Shut up!
Ice, Naga.
Straight in the fridge.
If you leave it out,
my smoking hot looks will melt it.
Why is he moping?
Because he still thinks that
nobody is gonna turn up tonight.
Who comes this early, Jaffa?
Everyone's probably on their way.
I met the sexiest broad at the salon.
I invited her too.
What's she charging?
What about your lady? She coming?
I don't know.
I want a drink too.
Again? You had a few yesterday.
If I can buy a house,
I can drink all I want.
I'm my own boss now!
Why don't you just sit on the bottle?
Pace yourself, please.
-Let's drink! Cheers!
-Cheers!
When're you ever going to listen, fucker?
Jingle bells, all is well!
Who's at the door?
And you said nobody would turn up!
Arjun!
Dad!
Come on in, ladies. Come on.
-Hi!
-Jaffa!
This place is amazing, bro!
Thank you.
They're both your friends?
They're clients.
I sell them weed.
You're a dealer?
Fuck that.
Check it, I got you a present.
Motherfucker! Are you nuts?
It's for tonight.
Just to know, who'd you pick of the two?
Neither.
-And take this back.
-What? No.
-You don't take gifts back.
-Please just take it.
-No, I won't take it.
-Jaffa, what's the problem?
Daddy, look at what he bought me!
When did you last get your dick sucked?
-About 25 years ago.
-What? Twenty-five years…
Hey, forget about all that.
Your cobra is ready
for some action now, right?
Don't overthink it. Just dive straight in.
She's hot enough
to give a corpse a stiffy.
-Daddy, I can't do it.
-Hey!
-Daddy…
-Go on, son.
Hello.
Hi.
Ja-- Pawan.
Pawan? Is that your name?
Why do people call you Jaffa?
Same reason everyone calls you a dickhead.
Out of love.
-Hello?
-Rana Naga Naidu.
Eijaz Sheikh.
A hero's resolve never falters,
no matter the villain's ploy.
-What do you mean?
-I mean fuck you, Rana Naga Naidu!
Neither you, nor Prince
will be spared.
Hey!
Here come my little babies!
You kids look great!
Jaffa! Look who's here!
-Uncle Jaffa!
-Hey, kids!
Uncle Tej!
Welcome.
I thought you weren't coming.
I got off duty early.
Why the long face?
Nothing, I'm just happy you're here.
You should star in your movie, not Prince.
Hey, Tara! You're here!
Damn, that's a foxy dress!
I'm sorry!
Now, can I offer you a drink?
White wine?
White wine, black wine, we got it all!
You walked in, looked around, liked it
and bought it? Just like that?
That's right.
I walked in and told the guy,
"Bill me up!"
Fuck, dude! That's crazy!
But you know what?
I like crazy.
Bro, don't forget the rubber.
-Where are you going?
-I'll be right back.
Where are you…
-Arjun?
-In a minute!
Fuck.
This shit is really hitting me, you know?
I can't even remember
when I got this smashed.
Do you remember the last time
you were on top of someone?
Naga…
Look, I've had fun.
Let's keep it clean.
We're not sixteen anymore.
Come closer.
I'll tell you how old you are.
No, Naga. I'm serious.
Another time.
God, you got me hard.
What can I do to change your mind?
I'll only change my mind
if there's a gun to my head.
I'm not ready and willing.
What's up?
Nothing. I'm just a little nervous.
I just need two minutes.
You are cute.
Let me help you.
What are you doing?
No. Someone might walk in on us.
Easy. Slow down.
Nobody needs to know about this, Pawan.
This is our little secret, okay?
What the fuck?
Are you insane? Fucking weirdo!
On your knees! Right now!
-What the fuck?
-I said, on your knees!
Please don't do this.
What're you crying for?
You said a gun to your head helps.
-Why are you crying?
-I don't want this!
Who would want this?
-This is assault!
-Hey!
Assault?
Tara, I did what you told me to.
The gun isn't even loaded.
Forgive me.
I thought you wanted it.
Hey! Hey, Tara! Please.
Hey!
Nitya!
Nitya, what happened to you?
Nitya?
How much did you drink?
You're too young for this shit.
Hey!
It's okay.
Hey, Jaffa!
What are you doing in there?
Are you all right?
-Hey, Jaffa--
-I'm not all right.
-What are you doing?
-Let it burn!
What…
Move along, everyone! The party's over!
Get out!
Get out of my house!
Fun's over, motherfuckers! Go away!
-Hey, Jaffa!
-Out!
-Tej?
-Rana.
Jaffa's kinda burnt some
of his new house down.
It's under control now,
but I thought I should still tell you.
What're you talking about?
What new house?
Jaffa bought a house?
-Why wasn't I asked?
-That's not why I called, Rana.
We got a bigger issue.
Nitya and Ani are here too.
A candle tipped over
and caught the curtain.
It's under control now.
Please don't worry.
Let's go, Ani.
Come, let's go.
In the car! Now!
Move!
Easy, Rana!
-It's not their fault.
-Shut up! Shut the fuck up!
Seat belt.
What did you give her?
Why would I give her anything?
-You're outta line.
-Who else could it be?
Who else would get a 16-year-old drunk?
I took it, Dad. By myself.
Oh, God! What happened to Nitya?
Did you allow this?
Did you let them come here?
No. Why would I let them come here?
I didn't know till Tej called.
And Jaffa buying the apartment?
Why didn't you tell me about that?
What the fuck, Rana?
Do you really expect me
to tell you every single little thing
when you keep secrets from me
all the bloody time?
-Dad…
-Stay inside!
Let it go, Rana.
You weren't any different
when you were their age, remember?
Fuck this shit!
Nitya.
Are you out of your damn mind, Rana?
-You…
-Hey, Rana!
Rana, put the gun away!
Please, put the gun away!
I wiped your fucking ass
until you were five years old.
I know precisely how full of shit you are.
You might be able to send me to jail.
But you ain't got the balls
to pull that trigger.
Rana, stop it!
What's wrong with you?
Dad, no! Please don't do this!
-Please, Dad!
-I said stay in the car, you fuckhead!
Go back inside!
I hope you're happy now, asshole.
You got what you wanted.
Come on, let's go home.
The kids are coming home with me.
And you stay the hell away from us!
Naga!
Easy.
Rana.
Just go.
In the Mahabharata,
when Kauravas and Pandavas
went to Lord Krishna to seek his help
even though he was asleep,
if Duryodhana was sat
next to Lord Krishna's head,
who was sat next to his feet?
A, Draupadi. B, Abhimanyu.
-C, Yudhishthira.
-Arjun.
Or D, Arjun.
Sir, it's C, Yudhishthira.
I'm sorry. That is the wrong answer.
It was D, Arjun.
How are you feeling now?
The fever's hanging about,
but I'll live.
You look worse than me.
I'm all right.
And everything else?
You should rest.
I'm tired of resting.
So, let's talk shop. Tell me what's up.
Naga is in cahoots with the CBI.
They're after everyone.
Prince, you, me.
I tried, but…
All right then.
Pull the plug on Naga.
I am not killing my father, OB.
Arjun felt the same way
in the Mahabharata.
But this war's got plenty soldiers.
All you have to do is find one
that hates Naga as much as you do.
Someone who would
not hesitate to remove Naga
from the equation
without a second thought.
This is nuts.
Did you see that?
Oh, God! Look at that.
Hey, look at her face!
