City of Dreams (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 1 - The Shootout - full transcript

An assassination attempt on Mumbai's political stalwart Ameya Rao Gaikwad stuns the city. As the Gaikwad family deals with the shock, Ashish takes centre stage. Meanwhile, Wasim takes matters into his own hands unofficially.

Saheb.

- How are you?
- I am fine, Saheb.

- Is your mother okay?
- Yes, Saheb.

- I will speak to the doctor today.
- Okay, Saheb. - Okay?

[phone vibrating]

Amit.

- Mom!
- Meal time is family time.



- You too?
- Sorry.

Well, the media is buzzing.

People are discussing
your father's rally.

The announcement regarding
Ashish is happening, right?

- Yes, on his birthday.
- The next CM of Maharashtra.

Yes.

[phone ringing]

Meal time is...
You know the rest.

[phone ringing]

[phone ringing]

Hello.

- Okay, sir.
- Cordon off the area, make it
tight...

- Okay?
- Okay, sir.

Uncle Jiten.



Three bullets were shot.

That's all we got to know.

He is getting operated.

Dear, three bullets can't destroy
this huge empire, right?

Where is Ashu?

Dad...

- If dad doesn't survive...
- Ashish.

- ...you won't survive either.
- Ashish.

- Got it?
- Ashish.

Let them do their work.

- You don't have to teach me.
- Okay.

Your life is in danger,
not my father's.

Yes?

What were you doing?

I'll kill you, motherfucker.

I hope you understood
who your patient is.

- Yes, sir. - Then get
one more thing straight.

Don't let your patient die
on the operation table.

- I will try my best.
- Uncle Jiten.

Media will be here anytime.
Block this entire area.

I have already sealed
the entire floor.

[Jiten] Poornima.

Someone from the family
will have to address the media.

You talk to the media.

- Me? - Your brother
is a bit too short-tempered.

He won't be able
to handle the media.

But I'm just a housewife.

A housewife who handles
Saheb's money.

- Will Ashu agree?
- I'll explain it to him.

You just think of what you want
to say to the media.

I'll be back.

[Narayan] He's holding
the gun just like you.

You trained him, right?

[Narayan] This hero threw
a grand party last week.

You attended the party, right?

The one who has the sun shining out
of his ass is the one who rules the
city.

Sir, will you write his report?

- Ask Rakesh.
-[Narayan] Rakesh is on leave, sir.

- Why don't you write it?
- Sir...

Shall I call him, sir?
Shall I?

Call him.

Tell me.

Sir, our breadwinner,
my daughter got stolen.

- What?
- The buffalo, sir.

I looked for her everywhere
but I couldn't find her.

I thought of taking the help of
the cow vigilante group in our area.

But then I realised that my daughter
is a buffalo and not a cow.

Shut up.
Don't waste sir's time.

Do you know who he is?

He is famous by the name
Encounter Wasim.

[Narayan] He made the underworld
run away from this city.

Then what is he doing here?

You asked the right question.

Do you want to know
who all fucked me over?

No, sir.

Tell me your name.

Rajanlal Yadav.

[phone ringing]

- Tell me.
- [Man2] Wasim sir.

I just got to know
that someone has shot Gaikwad Sahe
.

You won't believe, sir...

...but you are the first person
I have called, as soon as I found out.

[Woman1] Sir.
Commissioner Roy is here.

- Good morning, sir.
- Good morning, Roy.

- Be seated.
- Thank you, sir.

Before the media
starts spreading rumours...

...give me your assessment.

Very old school shooting, sir.
Two gun men on a motorcycle.

- Like the 90s.
- Yes.

How long has it been...

...since such a high profile
shooting took place in Mumbai?

- Fifteen years?
- Seventeen, sir.

How long will you take
to catch the shooters?

There is a problem, sir.

After the danger and presence of
the underworld shifted from Mumbai...

...we dismantled our
informants' network...

...and started utilising
our efforts and resources...

...on terrorists and
fundamentalist groups.

Did one of them attack Saheb?

You know what is Saheb's
take on Muslims?

Sir, we are not ruling out
this theory yet.

But this is a very unexpected event.

And I feel we should have an
unorthodox
approach to solve this.

I...

I...

Go on.

I want Wasim Khan on this case.

- Encounter Wasim?
-[Roy] Yes, sir.

I think he is the right man
for this job.

He used to work under me in the 90s.

No, Roy. Absolutely not.
The media hates him.

And I can't take such chances
during election time.

I won't let the clean image
of my government get tarnished.

- I get it, sir.
- Only by the rules.

[Roy] Yes, sir.

You are in the wrong jurisdiction.

There was a time, when all the
jurisdictions used to wait for me.

That time has long gone.

Everyone tells me the same.

Come on. Get out of here.

Sorry, buddy.
I had to put up an act.

- Security camera.
- I know.

How are you?

I am dying of boredom.

Everyone in the department
hates you to the core.

- What is the scene?
- Flashback style.

Two shooters, one bike.

Gaikwad's car was parked there.
Over there.

He used to come daily
to have paan.

Shooters came from there.

The guy sitting on the pillion
started firing.

Motherfucker.
It is truly flashback style.

- Thank you.
- What are you planning to do?

[phone ringing]

-[Man3] Hello.
- Good morning, sir.

I am calling from Mehta Finance.

Our company offers a loan
up to 10 lakh rupees...

...only on five percent interest, sir.

No. I'm not interested.

Sir, no margin or security
deposit is required.

You will get the loan easily.

[Man2] I just said that
I'm not interested.

Sir, Mehta Finance processes
the loan within 20 days.

[Man2] You motherfucker,
hang up!

Sir, please don't go to my mother.

[Man2] You motherfucker! I will go to
your father, sister and everyone else.

You cocksucker. Hang...

Enough!
I won't get abused anymore.

Why? Did someone call you
motherfucker again?

Buddy, you worry a lot.

In Mumbai, people curse out of love.

They should at least spare our
mothers and sisters.

Again the same thing.

No matter what,
this is my last call.

I'll quit this job after this call.

And leave this city.

[phone vibrating]

What happened?

Unless I raise my hand,
it doesn't get up.

I didn't get you.

Unless I beat someone,
I can't get it up.

Okay. But not on the poster.

Did you see?
This weapon is absolutely ready!

Huh...

I know Gaikwad saheb very well,
Tripathi ji.

The surgery has started
and it will be a success.

This incident can have an impact
on all of us.

[Jagdish] Don't worry.

I am personally looking
into this matter.

Long live India,
Long live Maharashtra.

Long live India.

- Sir.
- Has the surgery started?

Yes, sir.

Keep asking the doctor
and keep me posted.

[Jiten] Okay, sir.

[Deven] Purushottam bhai.

Purushottam bhai, wait.
Purushottam bhai.

At least greet me
with a good morning? Forget it.

Do you know what's happening today?

Today, this city
is going to be set on fire.

Did you get the news?

Badan 4 is releasing.

Sunny Leone's Badan 4.

Listen to me.
This country is impossible!

On one side, Love Jihad
and on the other, a porn star.

Bollywood's top heroine.
Tell me something.

Does Sunny Leone turn you on?

You are a faithful husband.

I wasted a right question
on the wrong person.

Okay, we'll meet during lunchtime.

Good morning, sir.

Sir, the delivery is here.

Hurry up. Get the camera out.

How much time do we have?

Has anyone reached before us?

Fourth floor, ma'am.

Gaikwad saheb is still in the
OT.

Let me know once the surgery
is done. Go.

[Shireen] Breaking news!

Ameya Rao Gaikwad,
the famous politician of Mumbai...

...and the sitting MP of Chembur...

...at 8:35 in the morning
near Chowpatty...

...was shot by two strangers.

As far as the shooters
are concerned...

...Mumbai police is not
able to give us any information.

I'll keep updating you, minute by
minute, about this big developing
story.

Shireen Ali, Bharat Now, Mumbai.

The press are like filthy bugs.

Even bugs have a place in society.

Saheb knows the right place
for everyone.

I know.

I had to learn many more things
from him.

Listen. Right now,
we need the sympathy..

...of Mumbai and
the entire country.

And for that we need your sister
to address the press.

Did she say that?

I did.

Who told you that you can?

Are you threatening me, son?

Just asking.

I'm your father's companion.

And me?

Son.

I hope you understand
the difference, uncle.

Somebody shot Minister Gaikwad.

Somebody shot Minister Gaikwad.

Somebody shot Minister Gaikwad.

Somebody shot Minister Gaikwad.

Motherfucker!

Sorry, buddy. It's become a habit.

Did you make the last call?

I called, but nobody answered.

[Gautam] Good evening, ma'am.
I'm calling from Mehta Finance.

Our company offers loans
up to 10 lakh rupees.

- Only five...
- Will your company provide loan...

...to prostitutes like us?

I didn't get you, ma'am.

Hello.

Ma'am, are you alright?

Yes, I am absolutely fine.
I got a bit hurt.

I was saying that our company
provides loan.

Even I was just asking...

...if your company provides loans
to prostitutes like me?

[Katrina] I mean I don't need it.

I am just asking.

For my knowledge.

Do you provide loans
to prostitutes like me?

Ma'am, please...
Don't call yourself...

What, prostitute?

Ma'am, are you alright?

No, I am not alright.

I am dying here.
Can you come and save me?

I...

Don't keep asking if I'm alright.

If I laugh out louder,
it will hurt me more.

Okay.

Okay, I'll hang up now.

We will speak again
if we are destined to.

Okay.

I don't care what the society
has to say.

But Nagina only considers Lord
Shiva
as her husband.

And Nagina's place is in his
shelter.

[Man3] Cut! Superb!

Shunty.
Give me my phone.

Fuck!

[phone vibrating]

Poorni, hi.
I just got to know, buddy.

What has happened?
Is he okay?

Dad is still
in the operation theatre.

Shit!

I will go to Siddhivinayak
temple
on my way back.

I'll come to you right after.

Okay, listen.

Everyone here is asking me to give
a statement to the media.

I don't know what to say.

Can you write something?

Okay, I will catch hold
of some writer.

Give me half an hour.

I don't want too much of melodrama.

Now that is out of my control.

Whom are you asking?

Thank you.

Bye.

Ashu, I have told you so many times
not to come and sit like this.

It feels good to see you smile,
sister.

Have you calmed down?

What do I do?

I have taken after mom
and you have taken after dad.

Dad used to be scared of only
one person and that's mom.

Do you remember?

Mom had made a curry
out of gram flour and onions...

...and dad purposely pointed out
all the faults in it.

Mom broke all the plates
in the kitchen. Oh, God!

And then dad finally said...

..."Ruku, this dish by you
is the best."

We are laughing here
and dad is inside...

Will dad be fine, Ashu?

No matter what happens...

...I'll always be with you.

I know.

Were you talking to Lipakshi?

She is arranging for a writer...

...to write the media statement.

Don't worry about it.

I will handle the media.

You spoke to Uncle Jiten, right?

Why do I need to talk to him?

Who used to stand behind
and with dad...

...in every rally and every meeting?

You.

So, when he is not here...

...who will replace him?

Ashu, but Uncle Jiten...

Look, we are related by blood...

...not Uncle Jiten.

There are many things which
will be up for a toss now.

So, you need to stay away
from all of this.

Trust me.

- Wasim bhai. Hello, bha
.
- Hello.

- How are you?
- I am fine.

It's been many years.

- Sheru, get some tea.
- Okay, bhai.

There used to be a
printing press here, right?

Who needs paper, bhai?

Computers have ruined everything.
Seriously!

Chickens are safe.

They stink but they help me
make my ends meet.

But you don't look good
selling chickens.

You should have thought about it
before you put me out of business.

That was our time.

Also mine.

By the way, who shot Gaikwad?

Bhai, when I say I'm selling
chicken,
I mean...

I swear, I am just selling chicken.

You must have heard something.

Who sends men these days?

Bhai, when there
is no business left...

...why keep information
about business partners!

Trust me. No one from Mumbai gave
the bounty.

- I can guarantee you.
- At least, you can ask.

Bhaijaan, why are you sending
me back
to that old business?

One last time.
For my sake.

Okay, bhai. I'll let you know
if I get to know something.

- Your number...
- It's the same.

Imran. I am still
the same person.

Good bye.
Let me know.

Goodbye.

Yes, tell me.

Annapurna Ashtami.

Annapurna Ashtami.

The surgery was successful.

But the internal carotid artery...

...suffered more damage
than what we thought.

Speak in English, doctor!

There was no supply of blood
to the brain for a long time.

So, there is a chance of brain damage
even if he survives.

Thank you, doctor.

Sorry for my behaviour
in the morning.

It happens when I am tense.

That's perfectly alright.

So, we'll transfer Gaikwad ji
to the ICU.

There is one more job
that you need to do.

Repeat what I say?

Honourable Ameya Rao Gaikwad ji
...

...is out of danger after
a successful operation...

...and he is resting.

Yes, sir.
Repeat it.

Honourable Ameya Rao Gaikwad ji
...

...is out of danger after
a successful operation...

...and he is resting.

Sir, can you tell us the time
he got here, his condition then...

...and how serious
is his condition now?

[indistinct noise]

Whoever knows my father
will surely know...

...that a few bullets can't harm him.

I assure you
that our tiger is out of danger!

How many bullets?

Three.
As I was saying...

I was told he is still
not out of the OT.

Who told you?

[Shireen] That's not important.
Just answer the question.

No, that is important.
Who told you?

It's a simple question.
Is he out of danger?

I just told you that
he is out of danger.

Who told you?
Who is your source? Tell me.

- I asked you a very simple question.
-[Ashish] I know...

- ...it's a simple question.
- Don't go to my sources...

Wait... First... No.

Who told you this? You are
supposed to answer my question.

- I am not answerable to you.
-[Shireen] Is he...

- Do you understand?
- ...in the OT?

- Is he out of danger?
- I'm not answerable to...

- Listen.
- Yes.

That's it?

You didn't talk about
your raise even today, right?

How could have I asked today?

I can't do this anymore.

Is 26,000 a salary in today's date?

- I will talk to Jiten saheb.
- When?

It will take 10 more years
for you to earn 50,000.

Have you ever held a wad
of 50,000 rupees in your hand?

Here is what you should do.

This...

Sell this.

Manjari.

A toast to Encounter Wasim.

It's been long
since I have heard any compliments.

Sometimes, we need to remember
the past, Wasim.

If not for you,
the dockyard wouldn't have been ours.

And perhaps, Saheb would have
stayed a union leader.

You have contributed a lot
to save this city.

You deserve to be praised.

The truth is also that I was just
doing my duty as a police officer, Jiten
bhai.

I was not trying to save anyone.

Rest of the things
just fell in place.

- This is for Meher.
- She has left me.

Anyway, I don't need this.

This time,
I just need an opportunity.

I have started the enquiry.

The bounty wasn't set here.
An outsider must have paid for it.

This is what you are
not supposed to do.

Just listen to me.

All that happened this morning
and whoever did it...

...I'll handle them.

But this isn't the right time.

Very soon, Saheb will be
announced as the home minister.

We have got a confirmation from Delhi.

So, if there's any
bloodshed in the city...

...Saheb won't be able to
go to Delhi.

So, go to your police station
in the morning tomorrow...

...and continue doing
what you were doing.

Will you be able to do it?

Gaikwad saheb's life
is still in danger.

You don't worry about it.
I'll protect Saheb.

Hello, Doctor.
