It Happened In Calcutta (2020) s01e09 Episode Script

[Title Montage]
[Song playing]
[Ratan] I have
spent half my life with you.
And I want to spend
the rest of my life with you.
Will you marry me?
[Song playing]
[Ronobir] You don't hate me.
You said so.
But you do feel.
[Song playing]
[Kusum] It is easy
to lie to yourself.
But it's very difficult
to evade the truth.
[Song playing]
[Kusum] I had convinced myself
that I'll be happy with you.
After all, you are my friend.
And you can spend
your life with a friend.
[Song playing]
[Kusum] But the fact is that
Ronobir is not a memory anymore.
He is my reality.
Ratan, I want to muster the
courage and face the truth.
[Song playing]
[Knocks on door]
- Who are you?
- Who are you?
I'm Dr. Bagchi's fiance.
All this. You hid it from me?
[Breathing heavily]
And with these terrorists
They are not terrorists.
Naxalites.
They are poor farmers who
are fighting for their rights.
And what does the
government do but beat them?
I'm a doctor.
I can at least save their lives.
[Sighs]
[Kusum] Why did you hide it?
Don't you trust me?
Trust?
I saw you.
With him.
With Ronobir.
[Thundering]
[Ratan] My fiance.
You were never mine.
[Thundering]
Ratan, I'm sorry.
[Ratan] Don't be.
You didn't do this intentionally.
[Ratan] You had said yes to me.
But you still have
feelings for him.
I know you. You are helpless.
Please go.
[Song playing]
Good morning.
What happened?
[Priyanka] Didn't you sleep
all night?
I have lost sleep for good.
Is the excitement of engagement
keeping you up?
[Giggling]
Ronobir,
you work so much.
[Monalisa] You came
so late yesterday.
And left without informing me.
You could have stayed
with me for some time.
Not fair.
Priyanka.
Let's not waste time.
Should we do some work?
Dr. Ronobir
[Aircraft sound]
[News on radio] Pakistan launched
a full scale war against us.
The Pakistan air force suddenly
struck at our air team in Amritsar,
Pathankot, Srinagar, Avantipur,
Uttarlai, Jodhpur, Ambala and Agra.
Their ground forces are shelling
our defence positions
in Sulemanki, Devkaran,
Poonch and other sectors.
[Ronobir] India-Pakistan
war was on.
There were casualties
on both sides.
On one hand, confusion and
chaos was rising because of war.
[Bomb blasts]
On the other hand,
Kusum was about to find answers
to certain questions.
[Ronobir] As of today morning,
a war has begun between
India and Pakistan.
And this war is not happening
somewhere far in the hills.
It is happening right here.
In our neighbourhood.
Very close to us.
Bengal is going to burn.
But we'll focus only on our duty.
Not just Cholera.
Even the soldiers wounded
on the front will be coming to us.
In huge numbers.
And we'll have to make
space for all of them.
Come what may.
But we have limited
oxygen and medicines.
We have made all the arrangements.
[Ronobir] The photoshoot we did
with film star, Monalisa
last month,
we have collected a lot
of money through charity.
All that money will
be used for the soldiers.
No patient will be sent
back from our hospital.
- All the best.
- [Priyanka] Kusum,
Dr. Ronobir got a call from
his army contact last night
saying that war
is about to start.
He collected all the
cheques from Monalisa.
He deposited them as soon as
the bank opened in the morning.
In fact, the fees
Dr. Dasgupta paid him,
he deposited that
in our emergency fund.
Nobody's treatment
will be stopped in our hospital.
Isn't he wonderful?
[Song playing]
[Kusum] Take him
to ward number four. I am coming.
Tired?
Do I have the right to get tired?
[Ronobir] Oh come on.
We are humans. You need to rest.
Rest for a while.
Don't do this, Kusum.
- What?
- Acting.
[Ronobir] Pretending that there
was nothing between you and me.
You can't lie to me and yourself.
I have nothing to say.
Because I said everything.
[Ronobir] I shouldn't have.
I should have controlled myself.
- I'm sorry.
- Don't Don't say sorry.
[Kusum] Don't do all this.
This great doctor
Ronobir with a big heart.
You are not this.
You are free to think
what you want.
I know.
You're not a messiah.
Then why are you doing this?
[Kusum] You are the boy
who impregnated me and
You are a bastard.
So be just that.
Don't confuse me.
I want to hate you.
[Ronobir] You love me.
And you hate it.
That's why you are
stopping yourself.
And I will let you be.
If you ever muster the courage
to tell the truth to yourself
I'll be waiting.
Life has given a second chance,
Kusum.
Don't let it go.
[Nurse] Dr. Ronobir,
there's a call from your house.
I'll be there.
[Ronobir] If you ever muster
the courage to tell
the truth to yourself
I'll be waiting.
Sister Priyanka, where did
Dr. Ronobir go?
I don't know.
He got a call from his home.
He seemed tense.
And then he left urgently.
Hello. I am Kusum.
Ganguly?
[Ronobir's Mother] I know.
You work with Ronobir, right?
You have come to see Mishti.
She has fever.
So I called Ronobir
and asked him to come.
Now that you are here,
you can also help.
[Thundering]
[Puts ice in glass]
[Ronobir's Mother] Bourbon
or gin?
Sorry. I don't drink.
Have the gin.
It is from London.
- You are not married?
- No.
[Ronobir's Mother] I keep telling
Ronobir all the time that
it's time to settle down.
Cheers.
How long do I take care
of the girl?
She is a bright young thing.
I keep telling Rono.
Find a girl and get married.
I keep getting so many proposals.
Even from the actress, Monalisa.
But he wants a homely girl.
He is very clear in his thought.
Since he is a doctor
the girl should be a caretaker.
Like a nurse.
He has mentioned a
couple of times about you.
For him, you are perfect.
He knows you'll make
his daughter your priority.
And that's what he is looking for.
I think I said a bit much.
After the death of Rono's father,
I'm having a bit much
of his favourite drink.
Bourbon and water.
He was such a simple man.
He wouldn't add ice either.
Anyway, he is gone.
Sujata is gone.
Rono is very busy.
I have to take care
of Mishti entirely.
[Ronobir's Mother] How
long am I going to do that?
I just want to a grandmother
to her.
Somebody who spoils her.
She needs a mother.
Don't know if Ronobir
has said this to you or not?
But you're exactly
the woman who can give
some other woman's
child the mother's love.
I know you must
be having your doubt.
But darling,
you are not getting any younger.
And you know, Rono is still
one of the most eligible
bachelors of Kolkata.
Any girl would be lucky
to have him.
Yes. I think this
arrangement is good.
For everyone. Right?
Mother,
these are Mishti's medicines.
Kusum? Hi.
Sorry. I didn't know.
You say sorry for everything.
See you. Bye.
[Ronobir] Kusum.
Are you looking for
a mother for your daughter?
There is
There is no need to make
false promise of love to me.
Why do you think
that I am lying to you?
Because that's what you do.
You lie.
I I'm so silly for I consider
your lies to be the truth.
I'm such a fool.
You are a fool if
you are thinking anything else.
Ronobir Chatterjee.
You'll get lots
of London return prospects.
- Stop toying with my feelings.
- Kusum.
- Kusum
- I'm done.
Are you done?
I love you.
I love you.
- You don't. You just
- Listen to me.
I didn't plan all this.
I didn't come here planning
to fall in love with you.
I didn't even know
if I'll ever meet you again.
After Sujata's death,
my priorities changed.
She taught me.
I have only two regrets.
One is that I wished I had
loved her while she was alive.
And the other is that I wish
you had met me now.
And not when we met.
I am not looking for
a mother for my daughter.
I don't have any
expectations from you.
I am not lying to you.
I don't have any hidden agenda.
It is love.
Simple plain love.
Brother
[Subhash] I searched
the entire hospital for you.
And you're drinking here all alone.
You should have called me.
[Ronobir] I am not
feeling lonely at all.
I'm drinking with father.
I didn't even have a sip in India.
I didn't get the time.
You know, I should
have listened to father.
He knew me better than myself.
Today, I understand
what father had told me then.
A diagnosis.
A death.
The whole world would change.
Sujata did all three things
at once.
[Ronobir] And left me
here to reprioritise my life.
I am going to India.
To fight against Cholera.
[Giggling]
Cholera.
To help those
the world
Those who are forgotten
by the world.
[Ronobir] That night when
Kusum left, neither of us
knew that our lives were
going to change for good.
