City of Dreams (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - The Response - full transcript

Good evening, Doctor.

[Title Montage]

[chanting hymns]

Eighteen seconds.

- "I have grown old, fuck!"
- Fatima!

Dad, you were going to say that,
right?

But you shouldn't say that.

Grown up words and children words.

Yes.

- Dad, is fuck a grown up word?
- Fatima.

- I thought it means word.
- Even that.



Your mom is going to kill me!

When will mom and you
stop fighting?

- Ask her.
- She told me to ask you.

She left me, my dear.
I'm right here.

Because you spend your entire day
at the police station.

Because I love my job.

"I will bury all the goons."

Very good.

- "I will fuck them up!"
- Hey!

Go set the table.

[Shireen] Breaking news!

Ameya Rao Gaikwad has been shifted
to his house...

...from the City Hospital.

Doctors say that he is stable
right now.



But is Ameya Rao Gaikwad
really out of danger?

What happened that they had to
shift him home overnight?

Is this being done...

[Shireen] ...so that
the Gaikwad family...

...can control all the information
related to Mr. Gaikwad's health?

Then the question arises...

...whether Ameya Rao Gaikwad
is really stable!

Handle this bitch, Uncle Jiten.

I'll kill her one day.

Let her say what she wants to.

Things will calm down in two days.

- Hi, brother.
- Hi, Nagina.

Hate that.

- Hi.
- Hi.

I have been hearing the rumours
since morning...

...and it's driving me crazy.
How is your father?

Out of danger.

But we can't say when he
will regain consciousness.

I'll be staying with him
starting today.

Yeah, makes sense.

Okay, listen.

I got this from
Siddhivinayak temple.

- Make your father wear it.
- Thank you.

Saheb.

It's me. Your Jagiya.

[Jagdish] Wake up, Saheb.
Wake up.

35 years ago...

...I had come running to
Saheb just like today.

He was sleeping.

He had fever.

But still he woke up and
came along with me...

...at my request.

Your father gave such a speech...

[Jagdish] His body was burning with fever.

But his speech set
the stage on fire.

After that, the labourers
never went on a strike.

[Jagdish] On our way back at night,
I told him, let's go to the doctor.

Do you know what his reply was?

He said,
"Is there any place nearby..."

"...where you get
a delicious dish of mutton?"

This is how our tiger is.

- Isn't it, Jiten?
- Yes, of course.

What are the doctors saying?

He isn't out of danger yet.

The one who wished Saheb ill...

...will not be spared.

Mom, Uncle Ashish's video
has gone viral.

That is not important.
Who told you?

- Show it to me.
- It is important for us to know...

- Hi, Aunt Lipakshi.
- Whom are you calling aunt?

Come here.

I have told you many times
not to call me aunt.

Come,
let me give you a big wet kiss.

- No. Yuck.
- Here you go. Show it to me.

Who told you this?

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

I am not answerable to you.

You were going to do it, right?

Yes, but last minute we thought
Ashu should speak.

Bad decision, Poorni.

- It's okay.
- No, it's not okay.

I think you would have done
a better job.

I totally agree.

Ashish.

Tripathi ji from Delhi had called.

He was talking about the rally.

I told him that in Gaikwad saheb's
place his son will deliver the speech.

[Jiten] Sir.

I think you should be the one
to give the speech.

I mean Ashish will be present
on the dais...

...but you should be the one
to speak.

[Jiten] The thing is,
this is the first rally...

'...of our election campaign.'

I hope we don't make any mistake.

I understand what you are saying,
Jiten.

But I think Ashish should speak.

Because Saheb's rightful successor
is not me...

- ...but him.
- Uncle.

Your trust will help me succeed.

Saheb has always said...

"Jagdish, Delhi may be far."

- "But not unattainable."
- "But not unattainable."

Bhai, make up your mind.

Sorry.

[phone ringing]

Hello.

-[Purushottam] Yes, saheb.
- Where are you?

[Purushottam] I have come
to the doctor.

I have got fever.
I'm not feeling well.

Okay. Have medicines
and come to meet me tomorrow.

Okay, saheb.

What are you doing here?

Is she your daughter?

Yes, I'm his daughter.
Fatima.

Fatima, quiet!

What are you doing here?

Can we talk in private?

- What is this?
- Gaikwad's shooter.

I grabbed it from the CCTV footage.

But the department
is not leaking it as of now.

[Shireen] They don't want to alert
the shooters.

Still it got leaked!

I am the only one who has it.
Nobody else does.

That is called a leak, right?

Why are you showing it to me?

You can catch him before
the department does.

I work for the same department.

But not on this case.

Thanks to you.

I am trying to mend
what went wrong.

I am the one who is trying
for the last 13 years...

...to remove my name from
that enquiry commission report.

My department has been treating
me like a dog.

You may do a thousand things right,
they won't remember any.

But you make one mistake, and they
will never forget it. Motherfucker!

Thanks to you.

Whether you want it or not,
I'm sending you this picture.

If the shooter gets caught,
it will be in the headlines.

From Commissioner Roy to CM...
Everyone will want to thank you.

You can get back your life.

And I'm...

...really sorry for everything.

Are you looking for me?

You were watching Sunny less and
me more in the theatre.

I take it as a compliment.

I'm not angry.

How did you know
that I was watching you?

We women have a special radar.

Whenever a stranger
looks at us...

...the radar starts beeping.

Evolutionary instinct to combat
misogyny and sexual assault.

Does your wife like the fact
that you chew tobacco?

It's okay. I smoke too.

How did you know
that I'm married?

At this odd time...

...either college students
or married men like you...

...bunk office
and watch Sunny's films.

I think you have only
two expressions.

Either you smile
or feel embarrassed.

- Thank you.
- For what?

Your wife will be the one
to thank Sunny Leone tonight.

[Poornima] In Oberoi
real estate, 250.

Khata Group, 150.

Metro project, 300.

Does anyone apart
from you understand...

...your unintelligible handwriting?

Everyone has their own way.

Accounts will keep going on, uncle.

Tell me. Whom to trust
and whom not to?

Saheb has been associated with
these people for a long time now.

That is not what I asked, uncle.

We can't trust Raheja completely.

Few years ago, he took money
from some other place

and started a project.

Saheb had called him here, to the
bungalow, to make him understand.

I am worried about such people.

Appear weak when you're strong
and strong when you're weak.

Sun Tzu. Art of war.

Now explain it to me in English!

Because of dad's condition...

...many people must be thinking
that we are weak now.

Now is the time
for us to show them our strength.

I will meet all of them.

[Jiten] So that they don't feel

that we don't have control
over Saheb's investments.

Uncle. Forget it.

[Ashish] Meetings are of no use.

Sun, what?

Sun Tzu. Art of war.

Thank you, sister.

Love you.

What did he understand?

Hey! So soon?

It's okay.

So, you couldn't even sell
this necklace!

So, you spoke about your raise?

No. I got it somehow.

Don't worry.

Where did you get it from?

What...

I have the mobile
to check the time.

You are nicer than you should be.

But this is not a solution.

Will I get a cup of tea?

I will make some.

[music playing]

["Kajra Mohabbat Wala" playing]

Am I supposed to find him?

You are happy!

I just remembered the old days.

You, ACP Pradyuman
and me, your assistant!

Find out from your network.

They don't return
before having some fun.

I'll send you that photo.

I'll do it.

Listen.

Do you have time?

I am taking my daughter
out for dinner.

[phone ringing]

Hello.

Are you going to offer me a loan?

I didn't call you for that.

Then?

That...

Okay. I got it.

No. That's not the thing.

Is it? If that's not the case...

...and it's not about a loan...

Why are we talking?

No. Yesterday,
you couldn't talk properly.

So, I thought...

I was just helping someone
and I got hurt!

[Katrina] What did you think?

I..

I thought someone hit you.

Even if someone hit me.
What's the big deal!

That's common in my line of work.

Why don't you change
your profession?

Oh, God!
You are putting me out of work!

There are many more ways
to make a living.

I know.

But this line of work
was in my fate..

And I'm happy in this.

[Katrina] It's been five years.

Have you been in Mumbai
for five years?

- You?
-[Gautam] Four.

But now I feel like going back.

Why? Mumbai is such
a colourful place.

Why? What has Mumbai given you?

I am independent.

Why did you come to Mumbai?

To earn a lot of money
and take it back.

Why are you laughing?

Because you still don't know
the most special thing about Mumbai.

The money made in Mumbai
stays in Mumbai.

What do you mean?

I mean, no matter how much you
earn, how much you enjoy...

This city won't let you take
the money out with you.

Wow. You are a poet.

No one has ever called me that.

Okay. A customer is here.
I'll talk to you later.

Hey, Tantia.

- Wasim sir.
- You are still here?

Where will I go, sir?

Sir, my son appeared
for the IPS exam.

One day, he will work with you.

Not with me, Tantia.
Under me.

The thing is that I will be
sitting inside by then.

- Have a seat, Wasim.
- Thank you, sir.

Did you find something?

About the shooters.

Sir, the shooters were not
from Mumbai. They came from outside.

- Okay.
- I am reactivating my old network, sir.

I met Imran too.

And Diamond?

You went there, right?

I am sure you have a network
over there too.

You showed the picture to someone.

What the hell are you doing, Wasim?

With whose permission
are you investigating this case?

[Roy] This is 2015, not 1998.

Now, things here don't function
like before.

Before I suspend you,
just back off.

[Roy] And I don't want you
anywhere near this case...

'...or my offices.'

And that goes for you too,
Dabolkar.

No information will be shared
because he is your friend.

Yes, sir.

You may leave now.

Here you go, sir.

Specially made for you,
with ginger and butter.

Annapurna Ashtami, Gauri Saptami.

Maha Kali Dashami.

Poornima is perpetually confounded
by our secret coding.

Actually,
I was about to tell her today...

...that you are behind
all these codes.

But Ashish was present there.

There is so much difference
between the siblings.

Do you suspect Ashish?

The way things are changing...

...I can't trust anyone.

Purushottam, you will take
the delivery this time...

- ...to Kharghar.
- Okay, saheb.

[phone vibrating]

Hello.

[Poornima] Uncle,
switch on the TV.

[Shireen] As Mumbai city was overcoming
the attack...

...on MP Ameya Rao Gaikwad...

...two strangers have shot
Mumbai's famous builder...

...A. J. Raheja
early this morning.

Gaikwad survived the attack.

But Raheja was declared dead
as he was brought to the hospital.

First, Gaikwad and now, Raheja.

Will it be right to say
that Mumbai city...

...is once again under the clutches
of underworld and crime?

Sanjay.

- Sanjay.
- Yes, sir.

- Where is Ashish?
- In Mr. Gaikwad's office.

Tell that asshole you
are Ashish Rao Gaikwad's friend.

Yes. Club will be working
on your name...

...but the money will be mine.

People will also be mine.

I will shove the permit
up his ass...

...and take it out from his mouth!

What?

Hang up.

Tell me, uncle.

Why did you kill Raheja?

Wow. You understood
that I am behind this.

I am not an idiot, Ashish.

Then tell me, why did I kill him?

Raheja wasn't a small fish.

That is why I killed him!

This isn't a joke.

The entire police force will now
focus on Raheja's murder.

The police is also looking for the person
who shot my dad, right?

They have found out balls!

No one will get to know
that I was behind Raheja's murder.

But people like Raheja will know
who we are.

Everyone knows who we are,
Ashish.

The other day when my sister was saying that
we need to show our strength...

...you seemed to agree with her.

I said that I will go
and meet everyone.

That is the problem with you.

What strength will you show
by just going yourself?

Now, they can see our strength.

You have created a hurdle
in your dad's ticket to Delhi.

A very big hurdle.

To hell with Delhi!

I don't want to go anywhere.

We will sit here in Mumbai
and rule the city.

[Ashish] One more thing.

This is not your problem anymore.

I will explain everything to dad
once he wakes up.

[chanting hymns]

The ritual is complete.

And this is for the long life
of Mr. Gaikwad.

How much do you love your dad?

What?

- Will you be able to see?
- What?

The destruction of his empire.

What are you saying, uncle?

Your brother will ruin everything.

The future is clear to me,
Poornima.

I tried once before,
when I was in college.

I know.

You would have been a very good
student president of your college.

I was there.
I heard your speech.

Really?

[Jiten] Your father
asked me to attend.

Then you must be knowing...

...how dad stopped me from taking
part in college elections.

And he also got you married
within two months.

But you are forgetting one thing,
dear.

You were ready to fight
with your father.

The reason was something else.

Mom's disease.

You have sacrificed everything
for your family...

...just like your mother.

Dad is very clear...

...when it comes to the things
that a woman should and should not do.

Though he is backward...

...there is no confusion
in his mind.

[Jiten] I know.

That is why I don't want
to disrespect him, uncle.

But still, I'll talk to Ashu once.

- That won't help.
- It will.

I will force him to consult me
before he takes any big decision.

He will definitely listen to this.

He does respect me that much.

I don't think he'll listen to you,
Poornima.

But still you can try once.

Do anything
but save Saheb's throne.

Leave, dickhead.

I don't need your company.

Didn't you recognise me?
Wasim bhai.

You got me to this bar
12 years ago.

You made me sit and explained...

...that I won't survive
if I stay in the underworld.

Do you remember?

Prabhakar.

Yes, Prabhakar.

Bastard.

You are still alive!

I didn't give you a chance
to encounter me.

You asked me to think of
something new.

So, I thought of something new.

This is my bar.
I run this...

...on profit sharing.

Good.

Shall I say something, Wasim bhai?
Only if you don't mind.

Even if I mind, what can I do?

No...
That...

I was saying that
you should also...

...think of something new.

I will send Prawns Tikka for you.
It's a dish from my village.

You will like it.

I will send it right away.

[Wasim banging the door]

Have you gone mad?

Sorry. I want to talk.

Fatima is sleeping.

I want to talk to you.

Wasim, please.

You are drunk.
We'll speak tomorrow morning.

Listen.

I am drunk but I'm in my senses.

Let me come in, please.

Come back home, man.

Don't start this, Wasim.

Please.

Why?

What has changed?

I am quitting my job.

Did you hear me?
I am quitting my job.

Why?

For Fatima's sake.
For your sake.

Do I look like a dumbfuck?

- Meher.
- Shut up!

Shut up, Wasim. Okay?
Just fucking shut up.

And lower your voice.
It's my house.

And you want to quit your job
because nobody cares about you anymore.

You are tired
looking for those olden days...

...when the entire city
used to salute you.

Neither were you bothered
about me then nor are you now.

And put up this act
in front of a gangster.

Oh, wait. Sorry.

There are no gangsters left
in this city.

Because you killed everyone.

Close the door on your way out.
