Adhura (2023) s01e07 Episode Script

1
Who is that?
Who is over there?
Who is that?
Raju.
Raju!
Check near the hostel.
There might be children outside.
I'll check around the jungle.
Yes, I'll check.
It must be the senior students.
I'll complain about them tomorrow morning.
They'll all be rusticated.
Hello. There's no one near the hostel.
Meet me near the jungle path.
I am sure there is a student here.
Are you alright, Dean Vyas?
Miss Ghosh was in no condition to talk.
We have sent her back to school.
How did you let the child go from there?
Sir, he walked away
right in front of our eyes.
No one could stop him.
Sir, there is something wrong with him.
Guys, let's block the door first.
-Yeah
-Bring the table.
Get more chairs.
Come on, hurry up.
See that, bring it here.
Bring it here.
Place it.
Imaad, wait! Lamba.
Put the table.
-Come.
-Take this.
-Where are you going?
-I have this weird feeling.
-Dev isn't answering his phone.
-He knows you're here.
He'll find you.
You know what happened, right?
You can't go out alone.
Am I to wait here while he dies?
Malvika, relax. He's not going to die.
All his friends are dead.
Oh shit!
Open the door. It's me. Dev.
-Open it.
-Come on.
Move the chair.
-Imaad, help me.
-Be careful.
I'll get the car.
Meet me outside the admin block.
Don't say anything to anyone.
Dev!
We've got this.
-Malvika, get in.
-Malvika, get in.
-Get in, Malvika.
-Malvika.
I saw the driver walk
and then fall down.
Dead.
Suyash died with a broken neck,
a broken skull,
broken ribs, and hemorrhage.
Rajat too died due to a broken neck,
broken skull,
broken ribs, and hemorrhage.
But they died in different ways.
-How can the injuries be the same?
-Sir, I don't have the answer right now.
What about that child Vedant Malik?
The search is on
but he's still out there.
Okay, keep me updated.
Who is it?
Who is it?
You were right.
We have all been hiding the truth
from you.
I have seen these chits before,
15 years ago.
Suyash threw these at Ninad.
Rajat was pleading for forgiveness
from Ninad.
On the last day of school,
Suyash, Dev, and Rajat
dragged Ninad to the archive room.
They thrashed him mercilessly.
Suyash and Rajat left him there
and went to the assembly hall.
I saw them.
But Dev wasn't with them.
Because that day
Dev attacked Ninad for the last time.
He never opened his eyes again.
How will we prove that?
Ninad will, sir.
Do you believe in ghosts, sir?
-Place one chair there.
-Don't worry. Tomorrow you'll be home.
Drink water.
Don't worry.
We all are here.
Listen, you can go and get
two of those chairs.
-Sir, the kids are not eating properly.
-I know the kids are all terrified.
He's coming.
How long do the kids have to endure this?
It's just tonight,
the kids can go home tomorrow.
Warden Manohar.
What happened, Sarthak?
He'll kill us all.
-What?
-What?
-What happened?
-Are you alright?
-He's going to kill us!
-Sarthak, what happened?
-Sarthak, wait!
-Sarthak!
Who
who wants to kill us?
Vedant.
But he's not Vedant.
He's somebody else.
Who?
Who is it?
All of you, wait here.
Supriya!
Supriya?
Supriya?
Are you alright?
Supriya, any news of Vedant?
Did you see him?
Did he really kill everyone?
I'm responsible for everything
happening to Vedant.
I didn't listen to anyone.
It's all because of me.
I lost Abhi.
I'll lose Vedant too.
You were right.
We can forget our mistakes
but those mistakes never leave us alone.
No.
Mistakes can't be forgotten,
but can be amended.
Nothing will happen to Vedant.
He won't let anything happen to him.
Ninad.
There's only one way to stop Ninad.
We have to help Adhiraj.
We don't just have to save Vedant,
but Ninad as well.
Malvika! Are you alright?
Are you okay?
Listen to me carefully.
Ninad will kill Dev if he finds him
before I do.
We're convinced, Ninad was killed
in this school 15 years ago.
Dev killed him.
No!
He couldn't.
He wouldn't.
Malvika, he did it.
And he'll pay for it.
So, please tell us where he is.
Look, if you want to save him,
please cooperate.
Tell us, Malvika.
He's gone to the guest house
to get the car.
He asked me to wait on the front lawn.
I have to stop him.
I am going to the guest house.
You come with me.
All officers to the front lawn.
Now.
Mrs. Jamwal, Dev better cooperate.
You'll have to check with Bedi Sir.
Officer Bedi, there has to be some kind
of explanation
Dean, I'll get back to you
What's going on?
-Oh, God!
-You guys wait here.
Oh, God!
Adi,
look there.
It's a tunnel.
Just momentary darkness
before you see the light.
Sir, the reports are here.
The body we found
is of a 16-year-old male.
He died 15 years ago.
Sir, we found a match from
the missing persons' list of Ooty.
The body has been identified.
A student from Nilgiri Valley School,
Ninad Raman.
Ninad!
Malvika!
You're the best, Nins!
See you at 2:00 p.m. then?
Excuse me! Not you, just Adi.
Fine, I anyway have plans
with Suyash and Rajat.
I'm going to miss this place, Nins.
This secret spot of ours.
Since Adi and you make out here,
it can't be our secret spot!
I hate that he tells you everything,
but not me!
No, Malvika. It's
After he goes to America,
you know if he tells you something,
will you tell me?
What?!
We are friends too, right?
And I have the right to know
if he's seeing someone else.
-Come on!
-No!
I'm not going to spy for you, Malvika.
That's not happening at all. No.
I'll see how you feel when Adi finds
a new best friend in America
and doesn't bother about you.
You may never see him again, Nins.
Have you thought about that?
Did you just try and kiss me, Ninad?
What the fuck is wrong with you man?
Ninad!
Malvika, I'm sorry but I promise
I'll make it up to you.
And now I've to give a speech
in front of the whole school
and I'm so fucking embarrassed!
-Listen you just can't leave like this
-Stay away from me, you homo!
I was thinking that
we might never meet again,
but now, I hope we don't.
To the Dean of Nilgiri Valley School.
Respected Sir,
due to my grandfather
suddenly taking ill,
my parents Mr. and Mrs. Raman
request you
to put me on an overnight bus
tonight itself for Kotagiri.
Where the fuck is my speech?
-Where the fuck is my speech?
-Adu
You stay away from me!
On my first day of school,
I was scared and alone.
I was sure I would never smile again.
Be happy again.
And I wouldn't have been
if it weren't for the hand that reached
out to me in friendship,
pulling me out of my shadows.
It's hard to make it in this world alone
to fight the hungry monsters
waiting for us outside.
That's why you need a friend.
A team.
Like chocolate milk and buttered bread.
Chocolate milk and buttered bread.
Does this mean Adhiraj
loves you back, Ninad?
Has he forgiven you?
Were you both planning to make out
on the stage?
Why make a scene when you were to
forgive each other anyway?
Not right now, Dev. Please let me go.
-Hey!
-No,
you made Malvika cry.
You need to be taught a fucking lesson.
Nobody will check your shoes today,
my boy.
Bunking again?
As we start this
new chapter of our lives
that might take us far away from
the Nilgiri Valley School.
Let us hope we carry in ourselves
a part of each other always.
Through the ups and downs,
the joys and heartbreaks,
and even the mistakes.
No, we're not perfect.
We may not always be right or good,
we may even let each
other down sometimes.
But that's okay
because if we really are friends
we know each other's hearts.
And we'll always find our
way back to each other.
Through mud, through rain,
through storm, through wind
to be one.
No matter where we end up in the world.
-Adhiraj!
-Dev, confess what you did.
-Get out of my way.
-Confess and this will all be over.
-Confess what?
-That you killed Ninad!
I didn't fucking kill anyone.
Then why the fuck are you running?
Fuck you!
Fuck you!
How long will you keep running, Dev?
Even Malvika fucking knows.
Stay away from her, scoundrel!
-What the hell?!
-Fuck!
Guys, we need to get out.
-Let's go.
-Come.
-Make everyone stand around here.
-Yes, sir.
-Come to this side.
-Everyone this way.
Come on, this way.
Guys run.
-Come on.
-Stay closer.
-This way.
-Stay closer.
-Stay closer.
-Careful.
Move back.
Save me, sir.
He'll kill me. Please save me!
He'll kill me, sir. Save me.
-Who will kill you?
-Ninad, sir!
Sir, I made a huge mistake 15 years ago.
I buried his body at Coach Vyas' behest.
I didn't kill him. Save me.
Dev killed him, sir.
Sir, I'm innocent.
Stop him.
Dev, stop! Stop, Dev.
Adi, move!
-Adhiraj, move!
-Move.
-Dev, stop.
-Adi, move!
-Move.
-Move, Adi.
Adhiraj!
Dev!
Dev.
Shit.
Dev!
Dev!
Dev!
Dev!
Dev!
Dev!
Dev!
Vedant.
I'd never believe it
if I hadn't seen it myself.
We're sending Ninad's body to Kotagiri
to his parents.
They'll perform his last rites there.
Truth can be hidden,
not defeated.
We recovered some things from his body.
If you'd like to take it to them
His postmortem reports state
he died of a head injury.
Exactly like Suyash and Rajat.
Identical.
Broken neck,
broken skull,
hemorrhage.
He could have been saved.
But Dev
left him to die.
But some questions are still unanswered.
As per Devi Prasad's statement,
he dragged the body
from the fields to the jungle
and buried it.
Dean Vyas and Dev were present there.
The question remains,
who managed to bring the body
to the field
from the archive room unnoticed?
And as per the postmortem report,
the injuries on Ninad's body
indicate he fell from a great height.
It just doesn't make any sense.
Where did you get this badge, sir?
This badge was stuck
on the victim's sweater.
Perhaps during the scuffle,
he grabbed it.
Why?
Any problem?
It's okay.
You're free now.
It's all over.
Yes, doctor.
Vedant!
-Supriya.
-Miss Ghosh.
Stop! Ma'am, please!
Don't stop him or he'll kill you too,
just like everyone else.
He'll kill you too.
He makes me do bad things, ma'am.
I don't want you to die.
I can't stop him, ma'am. Please.
I'm here, Vedant.
I'm here.
Don't
If you stop me, I'll kill him too.
Vedant!
Listen, stop.
Don't stop him. Or he'll kill Vedant.
They won't release Dev's body.
Postmortem is underway.
His father's asked me to stay out of it.
And he wants nothing to do with me.
Adi.
You'll be with me, right?
My badge.
I'd lost it.
Did you have it?
Ninad did.
If Dev killed Ninad in the archive room
how did he drag the body to the jungle
in everyone's presence?
Why did Devi Prasad say that
he picked Ninad's body from the field?
Equestrian field
your secret meeting spot.
If Dev killed Ninad in the archive room,
how come his skull broke from a fall?
If Dev killed Ninad,
how did your badge land on his body?
Who did this?
Dev.
I think he likes you.
Malvika, I felt bad,
so I first came to you.
Sorry.
Malvika, I didn't mean to.
Please, believe me.
You'll get your date with Adu.
Come along to the assembly
and I'll tell Adu everything.
Why would he listen to you?
Malvika,
he might be angry but I know him.
I know everything about him, Malvika.
He sleeps with the lights on because
he hears his mom's screams at night.
He learned to swim because
he can't hear the tires
screeching underwater.
I know him.
Just look at you, dude!
He never shared that with me.
Only with you.
You know Ninad all this while
I thought you were his best friend.
I trusted you.
But you were just trying
to steal my boyfriend.
I didn't mean to steal him, Malvika.
I just wanted him to know
how I feel about him.
I thought he'd understand because
I understand everything about him.
Did he?
No, right?
You know, you're the reason
he doesn't share things with me.
He's going to America for further
studies because of you.
Because of you,
I don't even get to tell him
a final goodbye.
You know what, Ninad?
All this while,
you've used him.
You've used him to be cool.
You've used him to fit in.
You've used him to be accepted.
You knew you were nothing but a freak.
-A fucking homo!
-No!
Malvika, he doesn't share
anything with you
because you are not interested
in who he is.
You're only interested in Adhiraj,
the school captain.
The one who'd follow you around
and be with you forsaking
his scholarship and dreams.
You only think about yourself Malvika,
you selfish
Fuck you!
Malvika, calling yourself a star
doesn't make you one.
Adu is a star.
And you know what?
He will find himself
a new best friend in America.
And I'm okay with that because
I want him to stay happy
and you were right.
He'll find a better girlfriend there.
-Fuck you!
-Malvika!
Malvika!
I did something.
-I didn't mean to.
-What happened? Tell me.
He was there, I
-I killed him.
-Relax.
Relax, I'll take care of it.
I'll take care of it.
I'll take care of it.
Go to the assembly. I'll deal with it.
I'll deal with it.
Oh my, God!
Dev, what have you done?
Please don't worry, I'll take care.
You go back to the assembly.
Okay?
Not a word to anyone. Alright.
Devi Prasad.
Suyash,
Rajat,
Dev
all bullies.
But you, Malvika
you're the worst.
He came to apologize to you first because
you were his friend.
You were Ninad's friend.
Ninad!
Just talk about Ninad, okay?
Even to this day, I mean nothing to you.
Only Ninad does.
You're still the same.
Jealous, angry, attention seeking!
Dev died a few hours ago
and you're trying to hold
my hand and gain sympathy!
Really?
What were you doing
in the room the other night?
Didn't you want to hold my hand?
Didn't you want me that day?
You're not even sorry.
You don't even regret what you've done.
All this time you were playing me.
That day outside the dining hall,
overhearing my conversation
with the doctor, telling me to forget
about it, telling me to move on.
You even tried to convince Supriya
to not help me because I'm crazy.
And that day in the room you gave me all
the crap about "what if".
And all this while
you were just trying to gauge me.
You betrayed me, Malvika.
You betrayed Ninad.
Malvika, he won't
let you get away with it.
Just say it.
Say that you killed Ninad.
Malvika, open the door.
Ninad!
Ninad!
Please.
Vedant.
Ninad!
Let her go.
Ninad!
Stop, Ninad!
Please!
No, Malvika!
Please someone help me.
Please, Adu. He won't stop.
Spare Vedant, Ninad.
He's just a kid.
I know you're trying to protect him
but this is not the way.
Everyone knows the truth now.
Nobody will forget you.
I'm sorry I let you down.
Let it go.
Please, let it go.
Adu,
you have to let me go.
Why is he crying? Crybaby.
I'm no crybaby.
It's Adi's first day at school.
Oh, late admission.
They will beat you badly.
I'll save you.
I'm Ninad.
Tell me, team?
Like buttered bread and chocolate milk?
Adu, the person leaving is never sad.
It's the person who gets left behind.
I'm going back to Kolkata,
to my family.
I had said,
we need to get rituals conducted.
Thank you, sir.
Sir, Vedant's
We informed his parents
when he went missing.
They have arrived.
And have already met Vedant.
They will take him home today.
A helpless kid was being
bullied right under your nose.
Daily!
But you were more bothered
about the school's reputation.
Ridiculous.
As long as such schools
and colleges exist,
where heads like you
ignore the truth and keep mum,
every day a new Ninad
will find himself rejected and alone.
Think about it.
Go.
I'm really sorry for everything.
Ninad wouldn't let anything happen to you.
Ninad said you were best friends.
Yes.
Always.
-Bye.
-Bye.
Thank you, Miss.
You'll take care of yourself?
Bye.
Bye.
Now?
Will you go back home?
I'll stay back in Ooty for some days.
What for?
Ninad attained peace
and you?
I've seen some people
linger on even after death.
I want to meet Abhi.
Can you help me meet him?
Did you bring his things?
He can communicate with us
through these things.
If he wishes to communicate.
Are you ready?
Keep thinking about Abhi.
His face, his voice.
Abhi,
if you're here, give us a sign.
Abhi.
Your mother wishes to talk to you.
Let her feel your presence here.
Abhi?
Can you hear me?
Is my voice able to reach you, Abhi?
Abhi?
Are you upset with us?
Abhi.
That's not Abhi.
Supriya, open your eyes.
Supriya, open your eyes.
That's not Abhi.
Go away.
Please return back.
Supriya, open your eyes.
You can't let this spirit get into you.
Thank you.
Yes, Supriya.
-Adhiraj, help me.
-Supriya?
What the
What's going on?
Everybody be seated.
What's wrong with the plane?
