City of Dreams (2019–…): Season 2, Episode 3 - Moment Of Truth - full transcript

Shireen makes a bold move that causes a media frenzy. Gaikwad begins to regroup and sets his plan in motion.

-Hey, drunkards.
-Yes?

This song and dance will go on
for the entire night.

-Let's start the wedding ceremony.
-Okay.

Bhau, please bless the bride.

-Sure. Just one more peg.
-Okay.

Give that to me.
Bless her first.

Button up your shirt
and bless her.

-And get going.
-Wait. Just one sip...

-Come on.
-Jiten...

No. Come with me.

You first.



-No, you first.
-No way. You first.

Bhau's blessing is important.
You first.

-No, you first.
-Who's bhau?

Who the bloody...

If you want to live,
listen to me carefully.

-Hey...
-Wasim Khan. Crime branch.

Three shooters have been sent here
to kill you.

-What?
-This information is correct.

The backyard is the only way out
from here.

You have to trust me, bhau.

We don't have time.

Let's go.

Right now.

The crime branch
is going after the underworld.



Your name pops up every time.

They've hired an assassin
to kill you.

Me?

Alam Baba.

He's a friend of mine.

Real friends exist
only in the movies.

He wants to eliminate you and
have control over the docks.

Wasim...

thank you.

What else do you want
besides this "thank you"?

A meeting with Alam Baba.

What will you get out of it?

The satisfaction of killing him.

He's making the entire crime branch
look like a bunch of fools.

We're not able to catch him.

I'll kill him.

The docks will be yours entirely.

Get me the docks.

And take whatever you want
in return.

I don't need anything as of now.

When the time comes, ask then.

Wasim Khan...

This seems to be the start
of a long friendship.

...at the very least,
she could have formed

an inquiry committee and
given compensation as a token.

Poornima Gaikwad's government
isn't doing that as well.

When this government is so slow
in the matter of life and death,

Then I can't even think
how will she solve

the rest of the problems
in Mumbai city.

Looking at you two,
nobody would say

that you were enemies once.

Those days are gone.

The madman who lived within us
died long ago.

We need to
bring those days back.

It's an old movie now, sir.

The audience
has watched it too many times.

It runs in the theatres
before every election.

And yet it sells every time.

Numbers?

First, 40-50 of theirs

Babar, in response,
200-300 of theirs.

Isn't that a bit much, sir?

The times have changed, my friends.
The bigger the riot, the better.

-Okay.
-I don't want any confusion.

I'll repeat it.

It will happen 8-10 days
before the election.

I'll tell you the exact date.

What will you have for dessert?

Gowrinath?

I've been waiting for you
for a while.

This is the correspondence
from 2006 and 2008.

It's written clearly in the memo

that the bridge needs to be
constructed on time,

so they may have to make
structural compromises.

Even after knowing this,
the management gave a clear order

that no matter what

the deadline shouldn't be missed.

Many engineers
worked on this project.

I was one of them.

Whenever someone gives me
such inside information or news,

I always ask...

Why the sudden team change?

My brother was
under the bridge that day.

And today my nephew
is in critical condition.

I have the world's most boring job.

Nobody would've thought that
this job could lead to deaths.

Even I never thought about it

until my...

own brother became a victim.

I'm so sorry.

This is me atoning for my sins.

I can do a lot with this.

Thank you.

Have a drink.

You said Fatima's life
is in danger.

I had to say it.

Otherwise, you wouldn't have come.

Did you just make a fool out of me?

Look, Wasim. I know
you have a problem with me.

And now...

the reason for this lukewarm friendship
between us is Poornima.

Yes.

So?

How well do you know
the Gaikwad family?

Well, I know them less than you.

So, let me tell you
a little secret about them.

This family thinks
only about their self-interest.

This breaking news was telecast on
Doordarshan a long time ago.

Poornima ji is different.
She doesn't think like Saheb.

Wow!

In three months,
you learned so much about Poornima?

Take it as the gut feeling
of a police officer.

Okay.

Let me explain this to you
in another way.

Three people were involved
in killing Ashish.

Poornima gave the order,
I brought him to the temple,

and you gave him the injection.

Today, Saheb
is under the impression

that just like I hired someone
to kill him

Poornima hired someone
to kill Ashish.

But tomorrow, for whatever reason,
if Saheb gets to know the truth,

then what will he do?

I suspect he's already started
investigating this incident.

Three of us know, right?

All three of us
will keep our mouths shut.

I must appreciate
your confidence, Wasim.

The two of us will keep quiet

because Saheb will personally come
and shoot us.

But Poornima? What about her?

Tomorrow, if they join hands?
Then what will happen?

They can never join hands.

Wasim... Wasim... Wasim.

This is politics.

And it's the Gaikwad family.

Saheb is mad at Poornima today.

But tomorrow he will realise

that she will be
the only Gaikwad after his death.

The father's blood
runs through the daughter's veins.

Look, Wasim.

You understand the psychology
of a criminal.

This is a different species,
which is called a politician.

Its thinking starts
where yours ends.

Gurav ji, I don't understand
if your fear is real,

if you're playing
some new game with me,

or if it's just your imagination.

We were taught only one rule.

"If the enemy pulls out the gun,

"only then the threat is real.

"Till then,
everything is time-pass."

I'll take your leave.
Jai Maharashtra.

Good morning.

Good morning.

-Good morning.
-Morning.

My husband shies away
from asking anything.

-Really?
-He's always scared.

Please have some tea.
It's getting cold.

Oh, sorry.

He'll be back any minute now.

-It's very nice.
-He's here.

Now I know who is responsible
for such a nice man.

It was a pleasure to meet you too.

You could've replied
to her messages.

She had to travel such a long way
to come here.

Why are you standing outside?

How can I help you?

Did you forget me?

How could you do that?

She had spoken to you
about her kid's admission.

You're impossible.

Please don't mind.

He works for Ms. Poornima.
It's a stressful job,

so he tends to forget things.

I can understand.

Purushottam ji,
you must be getting late.

I'll wait for you downstairs.

If you don't have a problem,
I'll travel with you.

We can talk on the way,
and time won't be wasted.

Why downstairs?
You can talk here...

No, I have to make a few calls.
I'll wait in the lobby.

You served me such amazing tea.

-Thank you for that.
-You should come for lunch someday.

Absolutely! I'll go now.

I'll be waiting.

She's so nice. Get her job done.

Have tea.

Yes, kaka. Tell me.

Shireen Ali has leaked
sensitive documents about the bridge.

And it's gone viral.

Please close the door.

I'm right here.

I won't go
until I have a word with you.

Shall we go in my car?

You shouldn't have
come home like that.

Relax.

I had no idea my cockroach theory
would have such an impact on you.

Thank you for that.

I was just checking

if the old Purushottam
is alive or not.

We... can't meet like this now.

Now everything has changed.

The relationship between a man
and sex can never change.

Never.

No. This is not true.

I made a mistake last time.

I...

I won't make a mistake.

I won't repeat that mistake.

No.

I... shouldn't make this mistake...

No...

I won't make any mistakes.

You're paid
for these kinds of emergencies.

Sorry, Ramnik bhai.

Poornima ji ordered a raid

by the inquiry committee
without telling anyone.

It doesn't matter anymore.

Someone from Mehka Infra leaked
the documents to the press.

That wasn't my fault.

I didn't call you here
to defend yourself, Pal.

When is she going to decide
who gets the tender?

As much as possible, I'm putting
pressure on Poornima ji daily.

The problem is that the girl's
a Gaikwad only in name.

If not a bastard,
she could've been corrupt at least.

But she actually wants
to help people.

I don't need your explanations.
Either you...

When I find out
who leaked those documents,

I'm going to murder that dog
personally.

My future son-in-law, Arvind.

-Hi.
-This is Bhairav Pal.

A loyal friend.

-Thank you, Ramnik bhai,
-See you.

Rohatgi assured me that
those documents have been hidden.

No one will find them.

I've no idea
how those documents got leaked...

I know, Arvind. I know.

We'll talk later.

Hi, dear! Good morning.

-How are you, sweetheart?
-Good.

-Morning.
-Morning.

I'm surprised to see you here.

I wanted some business advice
from your dad.

We're not arguing this time.

Anyway, you kids catch up.
I have a Pilates class to get to.

Okay.

-Take care, dear.
-Bye.

Please sit.

You look stressed.

No.

You haven't changed your clothes
since last night.

Is it because the documents
of the bridge collapse got leaked?

I read Shireen Ali's reports.

Your company's name
was mentioned there.

Of course, because
those documents are fake.

You know how big
the fake news industry has become.

At least you're not involved.

Yeah. Thank God.

-Coffee?
-Yeah.

The entire Maharashtra government
works for me,

and yet a journalist found
the documents, not me.

What the hell is going on?

Madam, we've brought every document
related to the bridge from Mehka Infra.

I don't care. You have 48 hours.

The documents that Shireen leaked
reveal that Mehka Infra is at fault.

I just need confirmation
that the documents aren't fake.

Pal ji, stop everything.
This should be your top priority.

Yes, ma'am.

Jyoti, send him in.

-Good afternoon, madam.
-Hello, Nambiar ji. Please sit.

-Thank you.
-Sorry you had to wait.

No problem at all.

-Will you have tea or coffee?
-CCTV.

-There's no CCTV here.
-It's an independent inquiry.

If a CCTV captures my entry here,

this inquiry won't be independent.

I know this is off the record,
and I thank you.

No problem at all.

Nambiar ji, this inquiry
isn't just important to me.

It's also personal.

I'm glad to hear that.

I know you can't share
your findings,

but you can share
your opinion, right?

My opinion has no value.

I just collect the facts.

Did you come to any conclusion?

Right now
I don't have all the facts.

Any preliminary conclusions?

I know that you've met Baba.

-Correct, madam.
-And?

Madam, you're new.
Let me explain...

Don't patronise me, Nambiar ji.

Inside job.

-How?
-Experience.

I can smell it from a distance.

Foul play.

Alsatian Nambiar.

Thank you for the compliment.

-Nambiar ji...
-Yes?

No matter what the inquiry report
turns out to be

it shouldn't come out
before the election. Okay?

Madam, the CCTV.

-Did you hear what I said?
-Madam, the CCTV.

The inquiry must look independent.

Yes, Gurav kaka. Tell me.

What did Nambiar say?

He thinks it's an inside job.

Do you think Saheb
gave him the information?

Even if he did say something,
Nambiar wouldn't tell me.

We need to shut
this Alsatian's mouth.

This used to be our classroom.

Feels awesome, Ranjeet.

I'm here after so many years
and speaking in front of you all.

Really nice.
I'm contesting the election.

But I'm not a politician.
Give me a break.

I'm not a politician because
I don't want to abuse myself.

Today if you want to abuse someone,
"fucker, fuckface," no.

Call them a politician.

People say...

Mahesh Aravle
is against capitalism.

I'm against those people

who suck blood for their profits.

I always ask these thieves,

"How much money is enough?

"How much will you take along
when you die?"

Okay, set a target. Rs. 100 crore?

Loot that much and then stop.

If a lot more comes to you,
share it with others.

Sharing gives you happiness.
Try it sometime. But no.

It's fine
if you call this socialism.

I call this humanism.

Every revolution in the world
has started with students.

-Are you all ready with us?
-Yes!

Are you all ready
to clean up this gutter?

Yes!

-Are you ready?
-Yes!

So, come on.

We don't take money
from corporates.

We don't believe in that.

We believe in crowdfunding.

We believe in people like you.

Visit our website and help us.

The revolution begins
right here, right now!

Shit, man.

No donations so far.
Colleges are crowded when we visit.

But when it comes to donations,
nothing.

These people can spend
Rs. 200 on coffee.

But when it comes to a revolution,

they can't spare Rs. 20
from their pockets.

And we're making a fool
of ourselves for these people.

Bloody internet activism.

They can go on social media to like
and share without any problems,

but, on the voting day,
not even 5% care to come!

Motherfucker.

Bhau, what is our strategy
going forward?

To hell with strategy!
There's nothing to be done now.

Who are we waiting for?

Patience.

-Thank you for coming, Rohatgi ji.
-Always a pleasure, Ramnik bhai.

Do you know who this is?

A structural engineer
in your company.

He's the one who leaked
the documents to Shireen Ali.

You fucking asshole!

Have some decency, Arvind. Please.

Because of your greed,
his brother died.

Did you bring him here
to insult me?

I brought him here to save you.

What Gowrinath did,

you'll have to fire him
from his job for this.

His family has already lost
an earning member.

They can't afford to lose one more.

That's why
I've thought of something

that will benefit everyone.

-I'm not doing any deals with this rat.
-One minute.

Things have gotten
out of hand, Arvind.

To show the world, Mehka Infra
will have to sacrifice someone.

Gowrinath is ready to take
responsibility for his actions

and go to jail.

What?

In return, Mehka Infra will
compensate his family handsomely.

You're a genius.

You're a genius.

So, the crime that
he was going to expose

is the crime he'll go to jail for.

Oh, that's precious!

Once again,
I thank you, Gowrinath.

And I'm really, really sorry
for your loss.

All of you should be ashamed
of yourselves.

Until you lose someone you love
in a bridge collapse...

you will never understand.

Anna.

Guess who is coming?

Milk.

I'm in need of money.

You already know
that after I lost my son, I've...

given my daughter everything
to run.

There's an urgent matter.
That's why...

I need some money.

Urgent money?

No daughter?

Docks... my money...

-is safe?
-Yes, yes.

The money from the docks that you've
been sending all these years is safe.

The money I'm borrowing now

I'll return it all personally
after the elections.

Five hundred.

Okay.

I had faith in you.

Milk.

Anna, do you think
he was telling the truth?

Should we stop sending
the docks money?

Asha will get proof.

Salaam alaikum.

-Namaste.
-Please come.

I, Kasturinath, welcome you
to Sansani 24/7.

You're watching
Revelation of the Truth.

The country's most popular

all-day long prime-time show.

What is
Ameya Rao Gaikwad's daughter doing

in a Muslim locality?

Do you know?

-On that I...
-I agree with you actually.

She's helping out Wasim Khan.

Something's wrong in Byculla.
Crores of people are asking

what Poornima Rao Gaikwad
is up to after all?

What?

What?

What?

So, madam, what's the reason
for your surprise visit?

I was very hungry.

Wasim Khan ji was passing by,

so I thought even I would come have
some dal palita.

Wow! So, you have knowledge
of Bohri cuisine.

Baba used to
bring it on Eid many years ago.

Maybe back then
he didn't hate Muslims.

-Abizar bhai...
-It's okay, Wasim.

Abizar bhai, I've come here
to change this opinion of yours.

My politics doesn't look
at religion.

We want to take everyone forward.

Give me and Wasim Khan ji a chance.

We'll prove it to you.

Abizar...

don't insult a guest
who's eating at our table.

I'm sorry. I was impolite.

You can be as impolite as you want.

Just don't stop me from eating.

I'm very hungry.

-Aziz?
-Yes, Father.

Mr. Wasim, at least
you have some chicken.

-Yes, I'll have.
-Have some dal palita.

Thank you.

Mr. Wasim,
please have some chicken.

Thank you.

I hope that the love
that I have received

from the people of
your constituency

is given to Wasim Khan ji also.

-If God wills
-If God wills.

-Please come.
-Come.

You've won everyone's heart today.
Thank you.

I've made the arrangements.
You just say yes to everything.

And show some confidence
in front of Nawaz bhai.

-Do you understand or not? Come on.
-Yes.

Hey, hey.
This place seems shady to me.

What? Don't you want a job?

You're my buddy.
I want to set you up.

Listen, you'll get wads of money.
Dhaval bhai!

-What's up?
-Wait.

Hey, let me in.

-Come on.
-Move aside.

-Dhaval bhai, how are you?
-I'm good.

Come on.

Nawaz bhai.

Why are you standing there?
Stand in the front.

Is he trustworthy?

Yes, yes, of course.
I know him since childhood.

If he breaks my trust...

I'll break your bones.

-Got it?
-Yes, bhai.

-Don't worry.
-Okay.

What did I say?

That I'll get you a job, fucker!

Come now!

And the breaking news
of this hour...

Last night, 20 terrorits were killed
during a shoot-out at the border.

-"Terrorists."
-"Terrorits."

"Terrorists."

-"Terrorits."
-Oh, my! Just say "terrorists."

Dad, this is all happening
because of you.

What's happening because of me?
What did I do?

You were supposed
to introduce me to Shireen Ali.

-Now she's busy. What can I do?
-Still!

Okay. Go on with your practice.

This...

The breaking news of this hour...

In last night's shoot-out,
20 terrorists were killed.

Ma'am, the guests are here.

Please come.

Don't make me beg, please.

Hi, Lipakshi.

Hey, Poorni!
It's been such a long time.

How are you?

The CM's bungalow
suits you perfectly.

You know, the security
was so tight outside

I thought they wouldn't let us in.

Well...

My friend Shivani.

And, Shivani, this woman here
literally needs no introduction.

No, of course, she doesn't.

-Pleasure meeting you, ma'am.
-Nice to meet you.

So?

-Let's have dinner.
-Sure.

-Sure.
-Come.

Are you having fun working
with Poornima?

A lot.

She isn't intimidating like me,
is she?

Why did you call me, Saheb?

-I had some work.
-Can't do it.

The inquiry commission that you
appointed against me, Saheb,

it destroyed me every day
for 12 years.

Every day, my prayer to God
was the same

that you suffer the same way
as I did.

The world is round, Saheb.

Whatever your work is,
I won't do it.

Then why did you come?

When Saheb calls,
you have to come.

Really?

Do I still have this power left?

You know the answer
to that, Saheb.

I just want to tell you

that I don't work for you anymore
but for your daughter.

Will you answer a question for me?

Who killed Ashish?

What do you mean?

I mean, I know it was Poornima
who gave the order.

But who gave the injection?

In the police report,
drug overdose is mentioned.

Your son must've gone overboard.

Wasim.

I'm not a fool.

Ashish had been doing drugs
for years. He knew how much to take.

He would have never overdosed.

Why don't you ask your daughter?

Right now,
your loyalty is stopping you.

But tomorrow time can change.

Maybe Poornima
will lose the elections.

What will you do then?

It's possible
you may have to work for me.

I hope we never meet again.

I'm sub-inspector Wasim Khan,
Aarey police station, Mumbai Police.

I'm making this video recording

as I don't know
till when I'll be alive.

This conspiracy is linked to
the attack on Ameya Rao Gaikwad.

The kill order on Ameya Rao Gaikwad
was put out by our Chief Minister

Jagdish Gurav.

This was the real work.

This seems to be the start
of a long friendship.

I'm sorry, Poorni.
I forgot to tell you

that I was bringing someone
with me.

It's okay.

So, how does it feel?

I mean, from a housewife
to a CM directly.

It would have been
difficult for you, right?

The things that come easily
are no fun.

That is so true.

-You must've made a lot of sacrifices.
-Oh! Of course, she has.

But everything looks so small
in front of power.

Right, Poorni?

Power is just an illusion.

In the end,
what lasts is relationships.

Well, now she's talking
like a politician.

Slow, Lipakshi.

So, guys...

cheers.

Cheers.

Cheers.

If I wish...

I can leak this video and
destroy not just Jagdish Gurav

but the entire party.

It'll spread like poison
during the election.

But I can't do that.

Ask me why?

Ask me, motherfucker!

Ask!

Why?

Because if people came to know

that Ameya Rao Gaikwad

was shot on the orders of a rat
like Jagdish Gurav,

everything will be ruined.

Everything.

And I...

won't let that happen.

What are you saying, Saheb?

Well...

thank you for
such a lovely evening, Poornima ji.

You're welcome.

Welcome?

Don't believe what she says.

She's always friendly
in the beginning.

When the time comes,
she'll throw you out of her life.

Just like that.

The thing is

you're the most important part
of my life.

Right, Poorni?

Thank you, Poornima ji.

Well...

I'm sorry for this.

Poornima, Gurav and you
won't open your mouth

because you've got what you wanted.

Reddy and Raman are businessmen.
They'll keep quiet too.

Only one person is left.

No, Saheb.
I'll make her understand, Saheb.

The time for making her understand
is over, Wasim.

-Saheb, don't do this, Saheb.
-The girl is brave.

She doesn't get scared.

She's intelligent too.

But she couldn't understand
one thing.

There are some truths

that cannot be revealed
to the world.
