Rana Naidu (2023) s01e09 Episode Script

Maharaj

1
What's going on, Rana?
Moving into a hotel,
at this time, all of a sudden,
I mean, what is this staycation nonsense?
Lie to the kids all you want,
but I deserve to know the truth.
The media found out
Ani discovered Prince's dead body.
They'll be swarming outside our door
by the morning.
Do you want that for our kids?
It's best we got out of the house.
Easy for you to say.
You're barely home anyway.
Ani…
Tej, I'm a little busy.
Get to the studio, Rana. It's urgent.
I can't come right now.
Leave right now, Rana. This can't wait.
Something's come up.
I'll see you upstairs in a bit.
Jaffa…
I didn't shoot him to kill him, Rana. I…
I've stopped the bleeding for now,
but he needs to get a hospital right away.
Yes, a hospital. Please…
It wasn't on purpose, Rana.
-It was an accident, I swear.
-It's okay, Jaffa.
I just wanted to talk to him.
I said it's okay.
-Get that nurse outta here.
-She's one of us. We can trust her.
Fuck your trust. She isn't family.
I've patched up the exit-entry wound.
But there's a lot of blood loss, okay?
He's not out of the woods yet.
Are you calling the ambulance,
or should I?
It can wait.
We need to discuss our options first.
We don't have time. His life is at stake.
And if he dies, Jaffa's will be too.
It's best you don't get mixed up in this.
It's a family problem and I'm sorting it.
What do you mean by sort? Huh?
There's only one way.
You have to take him to a hospital.
You're telling me how to fix this?
Hey, Rana! Back off!
There's no need to be an asshole!
All you men are being assholes!
I'm calling the ambulance.
-Stop.
-Tej, what are you doing?
Ana, don't do it.
Look, Rana's got a point.
Let's figure this out together.
It's a family matter, okay?
Trust me. I promise you,
I'll take him to a hospital.
But we need to figure out
what happened first.
We have to look out for Jaffa too.
Fine.
But whatever you do, make it quick.
Help! Please help me…
Get me out of here.
I'm dying.
I've lost too much blood.
Please help me.
Who are you people?
-Why are you doing this to me?
-You don't recognize us?
Remember Madhu?
Mama.
Naga Naidu.
Tej, Rana, Jaffa.
What did you use to call us?
The Naidu boys. Remember now?
Do you remember?
Whatever Naga asked for, I paid up.
We sorted it out.
-Chapter closed--
-Rana!
-Please don't!
-Rana!
"Chapter closed," motherfucker?
Do you even remember what you did?
You took advantage of young,
vulnerable kids, you piece of shit.
"Chapter closed."
Really, "chapter closed"?
No, no. No, you're right.
What I did was wrong.
I wasn't thinking straight.
I didn't realize
I was doing such a terrible thing,
what it was doing to other people.
Please, I'm dying. The pain…
Anant Anandam!
Say it.
Say it!
That's what you would do, to heal someone.
Now heal yourself, little bitch.
"Chapter closed," piece of shit.
Please help.
Please help me.
Help me.
Please.
Where did you get this?
It's Daddy's. I stole it.
Jaffa. Come on, man.
What happened? Start from the top.
I didn't go to kill him.
Several Bollywood A-listers
are in attendance
at a vigil in Prince Reddy's memory.
Sadly, the scenes you're witnessing here
aren't from a movie set,
as fans and fellow actors alike line up
to mourn the superstar's untimely death.
Just a few moments ago,
all three Khans were spotted together
for the first time in years…
Naga Naidu?
The one and only. How can I help you?
ACP Nilesh Zende, Crime Branch.
We have some questions for you
about Prince Reddy.
Doesn't the tea smell great?
I have a secret ingredient.
When my wife tried it for the first time…
Well, she's dead now.
She asked me how I made the tea.
I told her not to stop fussing
over the details and try it first.
How do you know Prince Reddy?
I know him from Hyderabad. We were tight.
We used to work out together.
It's sad that he's gone.
You served 15 years in prison, right?
For murder?
Yes, I was inside for 15 years.
Only that part's correct.
So you get out of jail, come to Mumbai,
and call Prince immediately.
Your friendship runs deep.
I didn't call him up.
I saw his film at a festival.
Met him there.
I'd written a script, narrated it to him.
He loved it.
Said he wanted to make it together.
Really? He was the one
who suggested that you work together?
What can I say? It was a moving story.
Now my career's all fucked. Shot to shit.
Why all these questions anyway?
We're talking to everyone who ever met
with Prince over the past week.
His secretary told us that he was
particularly jittery after seeing you.
Man, tell that woman
to stop drinking at work.
Spinning stories all the time.
Pretty nasty bump you got there.
How did that happen?
It's embarrassing.
I got drunk and walked into a door.
You spin a lot of stories too.
So where were you last night?
Well, I was out with this chick.
What did you get up to?
The usual.
She was on top, I was on the bottom.
-Then we swapped positions.
-Give me her number.
If you really want to hit it, let me
give you another chick's number, sir.
Mine isn't the type you call
and she makes a home visit.
She's from a good family.
She's got a husband, kids.
I'll need to talk to her first.
Bring her to the police station
before the day ends.
What's the secret ingredient in the tea?
Good, right?
It's cow ghee. Half a spoon. Got it?
How are you, sweet cheeks?
Hey listen. I'm in a bit of a tight spot.
I just showed him the gun.
He's the one who freaked out
and then the driver drove into the wall.
It's all his fault!
I went closer.
I realized both of them were alive.
No broken bones, nothing.
I held out my hand to Maharaj.
I told him I wanted to talk, just once.
But he shoved me away,
and it was in that commotion
that the gun went off again.
I didn't even realize it.
I didn't want to shoot him!
-I am not lying.
-I know.
And then? What did you do?
I got in the car.
The one parked outside?
Yes, I drove it here.
-And the driver?
-He was out cold.
But he came to suddenly. I panicked,
pulled over and dumped him
on the roadside.
-Did anybody see you?
-Nobody saw me.
-And the bike?
-What bike?
Your bike, dumb fuck!
Weren't you riding a bike?
Where is it now?
Oh, fuck me!
Rana, I fucked up! It's still there!
Am I gonna go to jail?
You're not going to jail. I promise.
Lara.
I've sent you some coordinates.
Leave immediately.
It's a Duke 200 bike. Get rid of it.
And if any witnesses saw
the accident, take care of them.
Check for CCTVs. Make sure it's all clean.
And one more thing. Jaffa's involved.
Nothing can go wrong.
What now?
Now we wait.
-Hi, Uncle Srini.
-Hey, kiddo.
-Dad isn't here right now.
-I know. Actually, I'm--
-Hi, Naina. Everything okay?
-What are you doing here, Srini?
Why are we here?
-Something's wrong, right?
-No, nothing's wrong. Stop worrying.
You fuck--
Why are both
of you pathological liars, huh?
Srini?
Always sidestepping the truth,
is that yours or Rana's trick?
Hey, Rana. He's not looking good, man.
If he dies, we'll never be able
to atone for our sins.
If he dies, there'll be
one less monster on this planet.
What's wrong with you?
If he doesn't survive,
we'll all be damned to hell.
"Damned"?
You really still believe
in all that bullshit?
Do you know how many people
Maharaj has killed?
He made life hell for his victims.
Just look at Jaffa.
That son of a bitch deserves
what's coming to him.
And I am not gonna
let him die that easily.
If we take him to the hospital now,
he'll rat on Jaffa.
Do you think Jaffa will survive
in prison? Even for one day?
Hear me out.
-I'll take the fall for Jaffa.
-Don't be so fucking stupid.
I'll tell the cops I did it.
You've done enough already.
Let me do something for a change.
Let me go to jail instead.
Nobody is going to jail.
-Tej! Rana!
-Please let me go.
-Rana! Tej!
-Let go of me!
-This cunt is trying to get away!
-What are you…
-Grab him.
-Please…
No!
-No!
-What's up, bros!
What the fuck!
How did this fucker get in?
-You said that the door was locked.
-It was locked.
-Dad must have given him his keys.
-Please take me to a hospital.
I'm dying…
He's gone cold.
I'm freaking out! What if he dies?
All right, let's do this.
Lift his legs up real high
-so that his blood--
-Shut up!
-Please help…
-Hear me out.
-Let's lay him down on the sofa.
-Right, that'll help!
Let's take him there.
Over there, Rana, c'mon.
-Hey, give us a hand.
-Come on.
-Who is he?
-Your actual father.
Seriously, who is he?
Does anyone else have keys?
No.
-You consider yourself a Naidu?
-Of course. Just like you.
All right. If you want to help out,
go clean the bathroom.
Make sure there's no blood left.
Water…
All okay?
Yeah.
How's school?
It's nice.
We studied about how
India's national anthem has been declared
the best anthem in the world by UNESCO.
Who told you that?
My teacher.
I couldn't find the bike, boss.
But the police haven't seized it either.
Someone's stolen it for sure.
-Did anyone see the accident?
-No. No witnesses.
-CCTV cameras?
-There were two cameras facing the road.
I got the footage deleted.
The cops aren't finding shit.
Get rid of this.
Sure thing.
Anything else, boss?
What about his car?
Don't worry. I'll handle the rest.
Okay.
Lara…
Thank you.
No problem, boss.
Hey, bro. Good news.
No witnesses.
So?
If that asshole dies,
Jaffa's off the hook.
Let the bastard die!
Rana, are you mad?
We can't just let him die.
He needs to go to a hospital.
-I promised Ana!
-Fuck your promise!
I need to keep our family safe.
Not your promises!
You aren't saving shit!
You always use us as an excuse
for your actions!
What d'you want?
Will you only be at peace once he's dead?
Hey, Rana!
We need to take him to a hospital.
You take him!
Jaffa…
Jaffa, my child…
Please take me to a hospital.
Remember how
you always obeyed my instructions?
Please help me.
-Let's go to the hospital.
-You think I am a retard?
I take you to a hospital and you'll…
you'll tell the cops that I shot you.
No. I won't do that.
I promise.
I'll tell them I got mugged.
Don't look over there.
You're not like them.
Isn't that what I used
to always tell you? Huh?
Jaffa, you won't be able
to handle the guilt of letting me die.
You won't be able to clean
the blood on your hands.
-You'll suffer for the rest of your life.
-"Suffer"?
So I've not been suffering
this entire time?
You made my life hell.
And you talk about saving it.
Fuck my life!
I am an alcoholic.
I wanna be with women,
but I can't get it to stand.
How can my life get any worse, Maharaj?
You broke me in two, man.
Destroyed me.
Isn't that why you chant,
"Anant Anandam," you asshole?
You're absolutely right.
I have sinned.
I'm a sinner.
There's a special place
in hell waiting for me.
I can't change what happened, dear child.
I've left that sick,
perverted man far behind.
That was the past.
Look to the future.
Jaffa, help me. Please.
I can't…
I can't do it.
Jaffa…
my child.
Of all the Naidu brothers,
you've got the purest heart.
As pure and beautiful as the rest of you.
-Please help me.
-Motherfucker!
-Hey, Rana!
-Get your hands off him, motherfucker!
How dare you touch him?
Let him go! Rana!
That's enough, asshole!
-He'll fucking die!
-Let the motherfucker die!
Here.
I'm lost for words.
You drove all the way
from Lonavala 'cause I asked?
You would've done the same for me.
Besides, I like driving.
It gives me time to reflect.
Reflect on what?
Your bodybuilder husband
not satisfying you anymore?
He's a good man, Naga.
What? And I'm not?
You are. You always have been.
Just that you went to jail for 15 years.
Right. I shouldn't have gone.
How about we dance a little?
I can play "Haye Hukku Haye Hukku."
Remember that track?
How much we'd dance to it?
You don't need to do all this, Naga.
Tell me, what do you need from me?
You gotta tell the cops I was
with you all night.
Will you?
Where are you going?
Home. I need to fetch some things.
Give me a list. I'll ask Rana to get them.
Srini, what is going on?
I can't go home now? Am I in jail?
Fine.
-Naina!
-What the fuck is going on, Rana?
Why won't Srini let me leave?
I told you.
The media's having a field day outside.
Stop lying, Rana!
I'm not lying, Naina.
Rana!
He's bleeding again and it won't stop.
Please come with me.
Is that Jaffa?
Are you at the studio?
Stay there with Srini. I'll call you back.
Get the fuck out of my way.
I'm sorry, Naina. I can't do that.
I said get the fuck out of my way!
I'm going out for a bit, sweeties.
Listen to Uncle Srini, okay?
Just like you did, right?
Will she forgive you?
Who?
The woman. Your lady friend.
She's been calling you, right?
If I die…
will she forgive you?
I don't think she will.
She's an angel.
She won't get mixed up in sin.
If she found out that you murdered me…
The fuck did you say?
What're you going on about murder for?
If you left somebody to bleed out,
you'd call that a murder, wouldn't you?
Shut your damn mouth.
You don't want to be a murderer.
Listen to that angel, Tej.
Listen to your inner voice.
He does not care about your soul.
Once I'm gone,
Rana will burn your whole world down.
He'll destroy you and the woman you love.
I'm not just asking you to save me, Tej.
I'm asking you to save us all.
Please call for an ambulance.
Please… don't kill me.
Tej…
have mercy on me.
Please, Tej.
I'll call for an ambulance.
God bless you, Tej!
Anant Anandam!
Anant Anandam…
Nyla…
-What's this for?
-Come on, now.
I'm just saying thank you.
Naga, if you really want to thank me,
please don't ever call me again.
Please.
He's struggling to breathe.
He needs to go to a hospital, Rana.
It's now or never.
-Fuck it then. Never.
-What're you talking about--
Who the fuck is that now?
-Naina…
-What the hell is going on, Rana?
Please help me!
Naina, wait!
Isn't he the same Maharaj?
The one who…
Let me out of here.
Please help me!
I'll see you at dinner.
Thank you, Tej.
I knew you would save my life. Thank you.
You called an ambulance?
Yes. I called an ambulance.
I am not gonna let him die.
Try and understand that.
Someone I know runs a nursing home.
I'll take him there myself.
No police case, nothing.
Tej, this is what I do for a living.
I know exactly what to do.
Please let me handle this.
You mean that? You'll take him there?
-You swear on Ani and Nitya's lives?
-I swear.
Okay.
No! Where are you going? Help me!
-Hey, shut him up!
-No!
Quiet.
Yeah, I'm coming.
We got a call.
Has there been an accident?
Yes, I called you.
But here's what happened…
Shit, he's trembling.
It's something serious. C'mon.
Excuse me, sir!
Hey, where are you going?
I'm the patient.
-Yes.
-It's all my fault.
You see, I have this film shoot coming up.
I was just practicing some stunts
for it with him here and…
I fell down!
And when I screamed,
he thought I seriously injured myself.
But I'm fine, boss.
Shut him up.
Don't worry about it.
Sorry for the trouble, boys.
-Boss, you called them for nothing.
-Sorry.
-We…
-Sorry.
She's fine.
-We're really sorry for the trouble.
-Sorry.
-What a waste of time!
-I know.
-We're sorry.
-Let's go.
It was unnecessary.
Hey, stop! Please stop them!
I'll die in here!
-What now?
-What have you done, Tej?
Why did you send them away?
Hey, stop screaming already.
Rana's taking you to a nursing home.
-What?
-You fool! Can't you tell he's lying?
You just sentenced me to death.
Stop stressing out over it.
I'm telling you, you'll be fine.
He's gonna kill me!
Can't you see it, you blind fuck?
That's why he's holding me hostage.
He wants to finish me off!
He won't spare me.
He's going to make me pay
for what I did to him.
Hey! What are you talking about?
What did you do to Rana?
-They don't know?
-Shut your fucking mouth, asshole!
Rana, what is he talking about?
What don't we know?
-You never told them anything?
-I said shut up!
-I loved you, Rana!
-Stop!
It was true love!
It doesn't matter
what the world thinks of--
He raped you too?
I know all the jungles around Lonavala.
I can get rid of the car,
the body, everything.
Thank you.
Arjun Naidu.
Rana…
are you okay?
Rana, please talk to me.
Rana!
Where are you going?
Rana…
