Mumbai Diaries (2021) s02e02 Episode Script

A Storm is Brewing

1
- Dr. Oberoi, please
- Patient is critical.
- Do something, Dr. Kaushik.
- Doctor, BP is dropping.
- Apply pressure here.
- Kaushik, what are you doing?
Vidhya, clear off all the clothes.
- Dr. Kaushik, can you hear me?
- Diya!
- Try to maintain the pressure.
- Dr. Kaushik?
- Stop the bleeding.
- Dr. Kaushik?
- Sir, please do something.
- OT is not ready, sir.
Dr. Romani!
She is breathing!
We are losing her.
- Dr. Oberoi, please.
- We need to do CPR right now.
Doctor, do something.
Kaushik?
I don't know what happened.
I just froze.
Kaushik!
I don't know. I just froze.
The Oberoi Vs Kelkar case
gets an exciting twist.
Dr. Kaushik Oberoi has been accused of
medical negligence.
The court has put the decision
on hold for a week.
Who knows if Dr. Oberoi's career
will tide through this storm,
but Mumbai is certainly drowning
in the downpour.
According to the weather bureau
Santacruz has recorded 320 mm of rainfall
in the last six hours.
Low-lying areas like Hindmata,
Sion, and King Circle
are facing water logging.
Unless the rains recede,
it's advised for all
to stay safe at home.
Diya, coffee.
Diya?
Are you okay?
Yes, thanks.
How are the father and daughter doing?
The father's doing okay,
but Saba is critical.
She needs immediate surgery.
Wonder what's wrong with Dr. Kaushik.
How can he
He could've saved her mother.
Sujata, try to understand!
It's not easy for him.
That man is worried about his court case.
His career is at stake!
He didn't have a choice over there.
He's just stuck.
Choice?
We have no choice but to save lives.
- It's our job.
- Sujata, Ahaan is right.
Dr. Oberoi is going through a lot.
It's a stressful situation
and before you blame him,
just try and understand that it's
Who'd understand his situation
better than you, right?
Sujata
You're the reason he's in this mess.
You had to testify in his favor,
but you turned hostile.
It's not fair, Sujata.
You're inferring
The lawyers!
They brought up my mom.
They asked what would I want
Dr. Kaushik to do
if my mother was
there instead of Kelkar.
Do you ever consider others’ perspectives?
Lawyers?
You were to testify as a doctor,
not a daughter!
But the question was directed
to a daughter, not a doctor.
Please, Diya!
Don't justify yourself, please!
- Please!
- Sujata, why are you both
You always say,
you forget your name while in
Bombay General Hospital.
- What happened then?
- Sujata
No, Ahaan. Wait a minute.
I know it's difficult
to tell the difference
but you said you'll manage,
then why didn't you?
Enough, Sujata. Sujata, forget it!
Ahaan!
You alone shall be responsible
for Dr. Kaushik Oberoi's fate.
Sujata, you
Diya, listen.
She's really hassled with Saba's case.
And even you are not okay.
I'm not okay?!
Guys, please.
I'm not okay?
And that's why I fucked up in court?
I'm unable to manage things
without Mom.
- Diya, listen
- Screw you, Ahaan!
You'd want to know
if I restarted therapy.
Of course, I do. So?
Did you restart therapy?
It's too late.
I have ruined whatever I could.
Fuck! Forget it.
Diya
Hello? Hello.
Hello, Ananya can you hear me?
Hello? Can you hear me?
ONLY AUTHORIZED PERSON
Sign here.
Kaushik.
Oh, God! Are you alright?
Kaushik, I was thinking
why don't you go home?
Just take it easy
until the verdict is out.
I can't be here anymore.
What do you mean?
I'm already struggling with this case.
I stay up all night worrying
about the future.
I had faith that I did my best.
But today
I never doubted my instinct but
today
I don't know what happened.
I could've saved her, right?
Guess I don't deserve to
be a trauma surgeon anymore.
Kaushik.
Why are you saying such things?
I've been tolerating you for ten years.
I've been dodging complaints against you,
because I trust your instinct.
Almost every decision that
you've made under pressure
Almost!
That's not how I meant it, Kaushik.
A man's one wrong move wipes off
all his good decisions.
Nothing else matters.
Did you see the poll?
73 percent of people say
that I am guilty.
73 percent?
What does that even mean, Kaushik?
Was anyone of those people
present in the ER that day?
The judge wasn't there either.
The one who'll pass the verdict
in three days.
What about that?
I'm really sorry.
You tried to convince me.
I should've listened to you.
Had you done that,
I'd have fired you long ago!
Yeah.
Before you leave,
sign off the RTA patient's report.
Farzana.
Her name
Farzana.
DR. KAUSHIK OBEROI
- Ananya.
- Kaushik.
- Oh, finally got you.
- Thank God!
You're okay?
I couldn't hear you earlier.
Don't worry, I'm fine. I just Kaushik.
I'm headed home, not Pune.
Why? Are you feeling alright?
I'm fine, don't worry.
Look at the downpour!
I'm not going to make it in time anyway
so I just
you know, thought I might as well cancel.
That's a good idea.
Just go home and I'll see you there.
You said there's some UK delegation,
and you have to be there.
Yeah, they're here but
Romani and Chitra are managing it
pretty well.
So, I don't think they need me.
Kaushik, is something wrong?
Did someone say something?
Kaushik, are you okay?
Kaushik, are you fine?
Yeah, I'm fine, Ananya.
On a day like today, the Head
of Trauma Surgery is not required!
How am I supposed to believe this?
Something is surely up.
- Tell me what happened at least then I
- No, Ananya.
- Sort
- Nothing happened.
Just regular monsoon chaos.
I don't know, Kaushik.
You're being very strange right now.
Ananya, I
Okay, listen,
I think someone is calling me.
You reach home and I'll call you, okay?
- Yeah coming. Bye.
- Okay, just
- Try and stay in touch.
- Bye.
Ma'am!
They're just checking all your dubs
and they'll take around 20 minutes.
Okay, but they'll play
Anant's special today, right?
The verdict has been delayed
Mansi is just sorting that out.
You can wait in the cabin.
Okay.
Ma'am, tea or coffee?
We've worked on this for seven months.
It’s a freaking doc, not just a piece.
We can present it in court
before the verdict.
We're India's number-one
Hindi news channel, why?
Because we do stories with heat.
And right now the heat is on the rains.
Mumbai's fucking drowning.
That's all anybody cares about,
and I need my star anchor
to buck up and move on.
What about Mrs. Kelkar?
She's counting on us.
It's our job to make sure
she gets justice.
You know what?
I'm not going to let you do this.
Hey!
Let me? You're not going to let me?
Yeah, I guess I am.
- Where's Nitin?
- He's inside.
Okay. Nitin!
Ma'am just five minutes. She’ll be here.
- Move!
- Move aside.
Second-degree, deep 25% burns. Parekh!
- Parekh!
- Yes, Mrs. Cherian.
Hurry up.
Merly, prepare the ECG.
Get the dressing trolley here.
- Hurry up.
- Ma'am, this way.
Apply silver sulfadiazine cream,
- I'll start debridement.
- What's the patient's name?
- Quick. Begin it, hurry.
- Sandeep, and age?
- 17.
- And his blood group?
- BP is dropping. Parekh!
- B positive.
B positive, okay. Come here.
Come, they'll treat him.
- Please take him along.
- Ma'am, please wait out.
- Yeah.
- What happened?
Ask the mother if he's a user.
We'll need a sign-off from Dr. Romani.
It's a drug abuse case
so it can get complicated.
Thank you for telling me
how I should go about my job.
It's very helpful.
Sorry, it's protocol. I was just talking
to myself. Sorry.
I've been working here for 22 years.
I know what to say.
I don't forget things under pressure.
And I also know
when I should keep shut.
Understood?
Chitra ma'am has asked for the reports
for admitting the patient.
- Okay.
- It's my patient, not Ahaan's.
Why ask him?
Please get back to work.
Hello, guys. Attend to
your patients. Continue.
- Look
- Listen, Dr. Parekh will give the reports.
Just do the tests she'll write down.
And take Chitra ma'am's permission.
Okay?
It happens sometimes under pressure.
Alright?
Okay, I'll handle it.
Thanks.
Good.
Ma'am.
What happened on his way back
from college?
He took a shortcut.
Our society's meter room has two doors.
There was a short circuit
because of the leakage.
I see.
Any other ailments or medicine?
Nothing at all.
Okay. Drugs?
I didn't inform his Dad.
I better tell him we're in the hospital.
Just a minute.
I'll speak to him.
Sure. Keep me posted. Okay.
Chitra ma'am!
- Chitra ma'am?
- Yeah.
Dr. Parekh wrote down these tests.
I need your signatures.
Yes. Do it.
Get Sandeep a bed in the burns unit.
I'll be there.
Okay, I'll do that.
I don't know why,
and how you came here.
There’s no point in asking.
- I don't want
- Listen, doctor.
Please.
Let's not make this personal, alright?
I had no idea Chitra's here.
We haven't spoken in years.
There was no way to contact her.
I know I was wrong.
I realize that.
Oh, do you? Really?
Dr. Subramaniam
I realized a lot of things in therapy.
I know I've given her hell
and I feel awful about it.
And I'm as shocked
to see her here as she is.
If you want, I can leave.
A very smart move, Dr. Chandra.
Do you think I can ask you to leave?
Don't try anything.
I'm here.
Watching you.
Okay fine. Hurry up.
Sorry, madam.
It was important.
What were you saying? Drugs?
Never did drugs.
Okay. We need all information
for the report.
Can I meet him, ma'am?
- Ma'am?
- Yes.
Thank you.
Marriage?
You'll move to the UK after marriage!
What about your studies?
Your MBBS degree?
Are you sure about this, Chitra?
Saurav is a doctor.
Why doesn't he get it?
Mom, Saurav will go to London.
I know what I'm doing.
Saurav said I can continue
my studies there.
Chitra, have I ever lied to you?
No, right?
Trust me,
we'll get a lot of opportunities there.
No, tomorrow's not possible.
Saurav's coming tomorrow.
Okay, you let me know.
Sheila, I'll call you back.
Saurav! You were going to be back
tomorrow, right?
I went shopping.
Have you eaten?
Children's Aid Society?
Was Sheila here?
- Actually
- Why didn't you tell me?
- Couldn't explain on the phone.
- Exactly.
Why didn't you tell me over the phone?
What was the problem?
Just, I thought I'll
I know what the problem was.
I know
you must've bitched me out again.
- Saurav
- I'm sure you said
I won't let you finish your MD degree.
I won't let you work and stuff.
Right?
- No
- Right?
Tell me something, Chitra.
What do you get by blaming me
for your incapabilities?
Why make me the villain?
Moreover, you lie about it!
I swear, I wasn't lying.
I just told her
you don't want me to get stressed,
hence you stop me.
I stop you?
Not stop, but
What else do I do for us?
Do you ever share that with others?
All you say is that I stop you!
How typical is that, Chitra?
And you know, right? I hate lies.
- I detest lies.
- I wasn't lying.
When I asked on the phone
if you had a visitor,
why did you lie?
You could've just told me, right?
I'm sorry, I promise
I won't do that again. Please
Think really well about
what you'll do next time.
- You'll need to give this a good thought.
- No
- Come. Listen to me, I'm right here.
- No, please!
- I'll be right outside, come.
- Please!
- No!
- Come, come.
- Please, no!
- Stop making a scene, Chitra.
- Just a little while.
- No, please.
- I am right outside. Come on.
- No!
Chitra ma'am.
Chitra ma'am.
Come in.
- Chitra ma'am?
- Yeah.
There are two patients
Nirmala Tilak and Sandesh Apte.
The accounts department needs
your signature for their funding.
Okay, I'll go.
- And give me the files.
- Yes.
Still awaiting previous approvals
and now this
Ask Vidya what happened
to those diarrhea patients.
Sure, ma'am.
I'll just check and get back.
I can hear you now.
Cyril is not to be found.
We looked all over.
We need your help.
I'm stuck on the highway.
- I'll text you her address.
- Okay.
What?
- That was Jacob.
- What's wrong?
Cyril is missing.
Have you lost it?
He must be around somewhere.
No, it's pouring and Jacob is in Nashik.
Cyril was with his grandma
but now he's missing.
He asked me to help.
It's a child.
You know how naughty he is.
Go check
You guys can take a holiday.
I'll manage here.
I'll handle Cherian.
I am the only one who has to work, right?
Just go!
Brother, please try to understand.
Vidya, try to understand one thing,
here are three nurses waiting
for the spot.
If you are unable to manage,
I'll give that spot to someone else.
I'm trying my level best
to arrange the money.
Just give me one last chance.
Do whatever it takes,
this is your last chance, that's it!
- Chitra ma'am,
- Yeah.
Kulkarni sir said your interview with
the delegation will be in the VIP room.
- Oh.
- I'll get that confirmed?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- Hi, Chitra.
- Hi.
- Hi. Yeah.
- Hi.
- What happened?
- You're looking for someone?
No, the delegation is there.
- It's just the interview
- Delegation went that way.
- Oh!
- They went here. This side.
Okay. Actually, I need some papers
from the office.
Chitra, the ER is full.
Wonder how we'll manage.
I think it's going to be okay.
We'll manage.
Dr. Kaushik has not been seen
since morning, but
- I hope he's fine.
- Yeah.
Listen, I was wondering
about the tickets
- Tickets?
- Yeah, I'd asked you.
- What?
- Movie ticket.
- I asked you. Yeah.
- Tickets?
Ahaan, have you nothing better to do?
I mean
Doctor.
Sir.
Sir, Saba Rahimtullah,
the eight-year-old
has brain swelling
and a possible hematoma.
We need to monitor
her neurological parameters
and ICB needs to be under check.
Yeah, I know.
If it's subdural or extradural hematoma,
craniectomy will be required
at some point.
At some point?
What some point, sir?
She has no time!
We have to act.
We?
Dr. Wadia won't make it in this weather.
Look at these scans.
We don't need to do anything, Sujata.
We don't need to do anything.
She's not our responsibility anymore.
Responsibility?
What's wrong with you, sir?
The mother is dead.
We can at least save the girl.
As I said earlier,
she's Dr. Wadia's patient.
Are you leaving?
Yes, I came for the delegation,
but now I'm done.
So
ask Wadia or Romani to sign on it.
I don't work for Dr. Romani, sir.
Dr. Kaushik Oberoi,
head of trauma, Bombay General Hospital.
You're my superior.
I mean
so far you were.
Sir.
This yours.
Vidya, have you seen Dr. Subramaniam?
Must be at his PR game
with the UK doctors.
That's all he does.
Vidya, RTA Farzana
Rahimtullah's death report.
Who says that? Death report?
- It's just
- It's just a patient's report.
- Death report?
- Thank you.
Wow!
I see that doctored reports
are not only reserved for star doctors!
What are you doing? I'll land in a soup.
What?
- Why
- She's also a star doctor only.
Haven't you seen her grandfather's statue
in the lobby?
You did, right?
- Dr. Parekh, she didn't
- Yes, Dad.
Can I just call you in a bit?
I'm a little tied up with something.
Yeah! Diya, listen.
- Diya, I'm also leaving the clinic.
- No, Dad. I'll call
There's water logging everywhere.
Listen dear, I want to say one more thing.
I'm really sorry for asking you
to change hospitals.
I'm really sorry about that.
I'm sure everyone at BGH understands.
In spite of the court case and everything,
I'm sure everyone has been supportive.
Yes, Dad, they have.
I'll see you later, okay?
- Diya, I'll see you at dinner. Okay, bye.
- Yeah.
It's raining relentlessly
and there's water logging
all over Mumbai.
Traffic woes have worsened
during rush hour.
There's a 25 km long jam
on the Western Express Highway.
Nitin, I cannot believe you're wasting
any more time on this.
- Mansi?
- What?
Don't you understand?
No one cares about Kelkar anymore.
It's a dead fucking story,
just like her husband.
How dare you!
- How can you say that?
- How dare I?
Do you think we'll listen
- to anything you say?
- Just take it easy.
- You don't have the guts
- Calm down.
Calm down.
Calm down.
Mansi, Mallika is right.
We made this story.
Exactly!
We took an insignificant incident
and made it into breaking fucking news!
- Please tell me you get that, Mansi!
- No!
No, I don't get it.
Because my story still has potential.
I spent a lot of time babysitting her.
I mean what the hell do
you expect me to tell Mrs Kelkar?
What do you expect me to tell her?
Nothing!
Mrs. Kelkar!
Mrs. Kelkar!
Mrs. Kelkar!
Mrs. Kelkar, I'm really sorry. I
- Move
- That's not what I meant, Mrs. Kelkar.
Please give me a chance to explain!
Mrs. Kelkar, please. Please.
What did you just say?
The story still has potential.
Do human beings not count?
It's not like that. I was
just trying to explain to Mallika
Many people told me innumerable times,
that ultimately they turn
you into a story. Just a story.
I refused to believe that. Why?
Because you always gave me a feeling
you won't let that happen.
This won't happen to me.
You won't let that happen to me!
But you did exactly that.
Anant is just a story for you
but for me, he was my life.
My whole life.
You used my life,
and sentiments
for ratings!
And for this Mansi Hirani
I'll never forgive you.
Never.
Hello, Riaz brother?
Hello?
Maharashtra is completely under a deluge.
The relief has turned disastrous.
Streets are flooded with water.
The rainwater has risen up to four feet.
Rain disasters have become common
in Mumbai now.
Changes seem to be impossible now.
You said you can help.
Yes. Have it.
- No.
- Have one.
Have you witnessed such rains before?
Uprooted trees and poles, traffic jam.
Water logging all over.
Medicines will be in great demand
across all hospitals.
Insane demand!
Understood?
No.
Look
Give me the medicine
I ask you to get.
Meaning?
Steal it?
No!
What "no"?!
It'll be given to patients only.
Be it here or some other hospital.
How does it matter?
The only thing is
you and I will make some money out of it.
Think and let me know.
I'm in no hurry, you are
Are you in a hurry?
Take your time. I don't mind.
Want?
No.
Rescue operations are on.
The BMC workers
Vidya.
What were you discussing with Jadhav?
Nothing.
He asked
- he asked about
- Mrs. Cherian,
I had a request.
Please change my superior.
Maybe to someone like Dr. Ajawale
You're with Dr. Parekh, right?
What's the problem?
There's no problem I just feel
Dr. Ajawale is better suited for me.
And Dr. Parekh is a little entitled.
- Meaning?
- Meaning?
Come on, you saw her this morning.
She couldn't even stabilize the patient.
Who are you to decide
which doctor is good or bad?
Do you know how many people
Dr. Parekh helped during the attack?
And that day she lost her mother.
Yet she's here doing her job.
The day you achieve half
of Dr. Parekh's revival rate,
come see me. Now you can leave.
You can't speak to me like that,
Mrs. Cherian.
Do you have a mobile?
Give.
That's Dr. Subramaniam's number.
He's the CMO of the hospital.
Call him and ask him,
if I can speak to you like this or not.
Call.
You may leave now.
Where's Samarth?
Yes, Vidya.
Found Cyril?
No, Vidya, I haven't reached yet.
I guess I'll have to swim in these waters!
Samarth, if you don't come back,
Cherian will drown you in a bucket!
- Hello?
- Hello?
Hello
I'm trying to call for so long.
Diya!
Cherian ma'am is looking for you.
Please come.
Parekh!
Didn't Vidya tell you
that I sent asked you?
Farzana's report.
I signed it already.
I know.
Only Dr. Kaushik is left to sign it.
Get it signed by him.
Ask someone else to do it.
Why?
Because Mrs. Cherian I know
what you're trying to do.
Why are you still here then?
Do as I say. I know best.
Take.
We handled 200 patients that day.
Sorry. Sorry.
It's not allowed here. Sorry.
- It's quarantined.
- Isn't that the same girl who's involved
- in the hospital case. Right there.
- Please don't go there.
Dr. Subramaniam will meet you there.
- She can't be going.
- Yeah.
Come with me.
Well, this is Farzana's RTA report.
I need your signatures.
Pen
Yesterday in the court
you got cornered, Parekh.
You did.
I wish I could bring her back.
What I felt this morning
You know when was the
last time I felt the same?
It was with Mrs. Parekh.
Your mom.
I wish I could've done something.
It's been months since then,
and we just avoid looking and conversing.
We're ignoring each other.
It's not a healthy sign.
We should fix this, right?
Parekh!
Farzana!
I'm sorry.
Everyone's saying you could've saved her.
No.
It was too late.
It wasn't late.
You alone could've saved her, Dr. Oberoi.
- I was saying
- I've seen you
bring people back from the dead.
Suction from a cold drink straw,
with no OT available,
you cauterized a ruptured
artery in the middle
of the ER without any equipment.
Yet you say you couldn't have done this?
Trust me, this hospital
and I tried our best.
Sir!
There was time then, there is time now.
- Please look at this report
- Enough!
Enough.
You're way out of line.
I'm really sorry.
- Yeah, Ananya? Hello, yeah?
- Hello?
- Kaushik, can you hear me?
- Ananya, can you hear me?
- Hello, Kaushik?
- Ananya, can you hear me?
Where have you reached?
I'm somewhere near Sion.
Some Sion Circle,
we were there about half an hour ago.
And we've taken some
- wrong turn.
- Where's Ghanshyam?
Ghanshyam
Hello, Ananya?
- Are you in pain? Hello!
- Kaushik!
Ghanshyam has gone ahead somewhere.
What happened?
Madam, please come out.
Water is filling in.
No!
Listen to me, Ananya!
Don't open the door, okay?
Come what may don't step out.
- Step out, madam.
- Open the door?
No, don't! Hello?
Are you sure, Kaushik?
I can't walk.
- Hello, can you hear me?
- I don't want to, Kaushik.
Listen to me, don't move, okay?
Don't step out of the car.
You're sure, right?
I'm opening it.
Ananya!
Hello, Ananya!
Water. Kaushik, water.
- There's so much water.
- Ananya?
Can you hear me?
What's happening? Just tell me. Ananya.
Kaushik, can you I can't.
The car is filling up with water.
Ananya, hello?
Someone, help me.
Hello? Ananya! Hello?
Hello?
Ananya!
