City of Dreams (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 3 - The Rift - full transcript

Poornima tries to persuade Ashish to consult her before making any decision, which doesn't go down well with him. Meanwhile, Wasim keeps the hunt on in his own inimitable style.

Sir.

I apologise for yesterday.

It's okay, sir.

CM doesn't want you
on this case.

But I don't even know him, sir.

But he understands your
working style.

I know he's under pressure
from the human rights commission.

He's made an official announcement
about not involving you.

That's why I had
to put up an act yesterday.

Things are changing drastically.

First, Gaikwad and then Raheja,
attacked in a similar way.



And now they are all panicking.

I need your help, Wasim.

I have been longing for such
an opportunity for 13 years, sir.

The way department treated you
was unjust.

I should have stood up for you.

Looks like the same thing is going
to happen to me.

I won't let that happen, sir.

How much time do we have?

My source tells me I could be
transferred in a week.

- One week's enough.
- Nothing has changed.

- I have a daughter now.
- I know.

Sir, when I used to encounter...

...I never thought
of starting a family.

But there was also no guarantee
of returning home alive back then.



- What's her name?
- Fatima.

Well, you have got one more
reason to stay alive.

- Good luck, Wasim.
- Sir.

Wasim...

- This meeting...
- What meeting, sir?

[Title Montage]

Why did you ask me
to come here, sister?

Today is mom's death anniversary.
Did you forget?

Sorry.

Semolina pudding!

Mom and you have the same taste.

Mind-blowing, sister.
Mind-blowing.

- Ashu.
- Yes.

- I have to tell you something.
- Go ahead.

Do you know why dad
hasn't sold this house yet?

I'm sure there must be a philosophical
reason behind it.

Because he wants both of us to
never forget where we come from...

...and how hard he worked
to build his empire.

You asked me to come
here to tell me this!

Yes.

I wanted to remind you
how long dad's journey was.

I know, sister.

But how is that related to this?
Mother's cunt!

Sorry, Mom.

Don't talk like a dumbfuck, Ashu.
Sorry, Mom.

Now you sound like my sister.

I thought you might be able to guess
why I asked you to come here.

I don't follow, sister!

Don't destroy dad's empire, Ashu.
I won't let you do that.

Oh, God!
You sound quite serious.

Well, stop the drama now.

What's on your mind?

Hereafter, you're not going to
take any decision...

...without my consent.

"You're not going to take any
decision without my consent."

Sister, why are you getting
involved in all this?

You have your own family.
Just live a peaceful life.

I spoke to Uncle Jiten.

Oh! What did the old man say?

Raheja's son
isn't answering his calls.

I think it's time
for his son to die.

Shut up, Ashu.
This is not good for us.

This is not how we behave
with our business partners.

If it were the old Gaikwad,
he would have killed them.

The old Gaikwad
didn't want to go to Delhi.

That's why I'm telling you.

We need to take these decisions...

...after we think it over together.

So my smart, intelligent sister...

...wants to control me.

That old man may think I am
a dumbfuck, but I'm not.

It was his idea to bring you
in front of the media.

If you replace me,
he can control things easily.

He wants to turn you
into his Manmohan Singh...

...and play Sonia Gandhi himself!

If you had killed Raheja instead...

...he wouldn't have
said anything.

I would never make such a mistake,
Ashu.

Yes, I made a mistake!

I'm not going to listen
to your Jiten.

Don't listen to him,
listen to me...

...until dad wakes up.

Everything will return
to normal when he does.

What if dad never wakes up?

Tell that old man of yours...

...I'm not ready to negotiate.

Uncle Jiten.

[Ganesh] Purushotham bhai.

- How are you, Ganesh?
- Good.

- I have got 16 this time.
- Business is thriving.

Come on, unload it!

Yes, sir. The delivery's done.

Ashraf Rehman.

Uncuff him.

Hello.

Hello.

- SI Wasim Khan.
- I know.

- I want to talk to you.
- I don't talk to police officers.

- Well, Ashraf bhai, I'm a Muslim..
- Even if you're a Muslim.

All policemen are filthy.

You've no religion
beyond your uniform.

What's this?

Ameya Rao Gaikwad's bungalow.

He's asleep in his bungalow.
Still alive.

I have singlehandedly rid this city of its
malcontents, Ashraf bhai.

But I didn't realise when
Gaikwad got rid of me.

He ordered an enquiry against me...

...just because I'm a Muslim.

If not for me...

...he would have been suffering
on the docks today.

He wouldn't have reached this far.

Ashraf bhai,
we are in the same boat.

I was a professor.

I've published 46 papers so far...

...in various journals.

People used to respect me.

I used to fight for minorities.

[Ashraf] Now they call me
a fundamentalist.

I'm a prisoner...

...whose wife, children
and grandchildren...

...are living in hiding in some
village.

[Ashraf] I crave for
a Bombay burger from Dadar.

They ruined your career, right?

It's okay.

But mine...

They have ruined my life.

Wasim Khan, we are not
in the same boat.

But my intentions are good,
Ashraf bhai.

I have lost faith
in good intentions.

[Ashraf] Truth is better.

What do you want from me?

I want to know who's behind the shooting
of Ameya Rao Gaikwad.

Who paid the bounty?

[Wasim] I heard that you have
information about everyone...

...even though you are here.

Trust me. I am in the department...

...but I am doing this job
off the record.

You want me to help you
catch hold of the person...

...who wants to finish off the man
who destroyed my life.

Yes.

Prisons can drive anyone insane.

Perhaps, I have gone insane, too.

But not as much as you think.

You are here again.

Who watches
such a disgusting film twice?

Sorry...

Which film are you here
to see again?

Badan 4.

What did you do last night?

Manjari cooked a spicy curry with
green gram and potatoes yesterday.

- Seriously?
- Yes.

I'm going to ask you one more time.

What did you do last night?

Normal...

Slam, bam, thank you, ma'am?

- Do you watch porn?
- What?

Videos.

Obscene videos?

Who says obscene videos anymore?

You are an antique, my friend.

Anyways...

Why did you come back here today?

You thought you might find me here!

Did you think about me
last night...

...when you were with your wife...

No.

Thank you.

Is there any place
where we can meet in private?

Yeah. We can.
I mean...

- 98445...
- What?

My number.

984452567.

Name?

You can call me anything.

Text me when you find a place.

- Dear, how's your dad doing?
- [Poornima] Fine, Aunty.

He has always been a fighter.

Aunty, enough.

How long are you here, aunty?

Just for a day.

I have a meeting tomorrow, and then
I fly back to Delhi right after.

By the way, Lipakshi's
meeting Randeep tomorrow.

Randeep?

He is my client's son.

He lives in Canada
but he has come down to India.

- I think it's a good match.
- Mom, please.

You're so forward in everything.

Why do you turn backward
when it comes to marriage?

What else do I do?

It's not like you're looking
for anyone on your own.

Aunty's right. Meet Randeep once.

Really? Shut up!

[Chandni] You shut up.

How long are you planning
to live without any action?

Mom, how can you be so sure
that there's been no action?

[Poornima] She has a point.

How do you know that
there's no action in her life?

Listen, girls.
You're pulling my leg, right?

- No.
- Not at all, Mom.

I don't understand
why don't you want to get married!

Everyone has their own
set of reasons, Mom.

- Hey... - We don't need to
discuss them every time.

That's enough.

Hey, stop being a control freak.

Did you speak
to your asshole brother?

You hate him, don't you?

Nobody can like
that misogynistic asshole.

Anyway.

You told him, right...

...that you want to be part
of every decision from now on.

- Not want to be. I will be.
- Great.

That means he said no.

And he said no.

What now?

I won't back off.
I'm a Gaikwad, too.

Seriously? Will you do it?

Yes, until dad wakes up.

Cool.
Here's to the first step.

Excuse me, sir.

Come.

- Ramnik bhai.
- Hello, Jiten bhai.

- How are you?
- How are you? Good.

Poornima, Saheb's daughter.

- Hello.
- Hello.

I have heard a lot about you
from my dad.

But he never mentioned
you to me.

Then I'll introduce myself to you.

I'm a chartered accountant...

...and I have been managing
my dad's finances.

That's why I know that my dad's
800 crores are with you.

We don't need the money back.

I just want the business
to go on as usual.

What if it doesn't?

Are you going to kill me
just like you killed Raheja?

What are you talking about
Ramnik bhai?

[Poornima] My dad has helped
you a lot, Ramnik bhai.

He got you land in Surat for free.

When your son was caught
with drugs in Dubai...

[Poornima] ...my dad was the one
to call and get him out.

We are not asking for something new
or more.

I just want the business
to go on as usual.

When did I object to that?

I know that you're meeting
our other partners...

...behind our back.

I'm going to talk to them as well.

But I wanted to stop here first.

[Poornima] If you want to discuss
something about our business deals...

...I'm ready.

But if you want to sever
ties with us...

...just because you think
my dad's time's up...

...it would be a mistake.

I will think about it.

You are still the same,
Ramnik bhai.

"I will think about it."

Did you say that to my dad?

Do you remember
what my dad's response was?

Poornima.

Tell me, Ramnik bhai.

I'm Gaikwad's daughter.
I have heard everything.

"I know you are going
to fuck me over."

"But I'll not let you
put it in my ass."

So, tell me, Ramnik bhai.

Are you going to do it
from the front or from the back?

Gaikwad's still alive.

Thank you.

Gaikwad.

Dad is fine now.

I just want the business
to go on as usual.

We need your support.

- Our support will always be with you.
- Thank you.

[door bell ringing]

Brother-in-law.

You made time for me.
I should thank you.

You said it's urgent, didn't you?

Yes, it is but let me
make a drink for you first.

What do you want?

- Scotch and warm water, please.
- Come.

What are you looking at?

You asked me to find the shooter.
Can't I find your address?

- Did you find the shooter?
- I will find him by tomorrow.

At least one of us is confident
about their work.

Would you like to come in?

I thought you would never ask.

Come.

I haven't seen this side
of yours before.

I can't express it.

I never thought you could
be so caring.

I'm trying to get Meher back home.

So what? You have been
trying to do that for a while now.

But has it made a difference
to our friendship?

Well, is it possible...

...for us to let go of our
loneliness for sometime?

- Hello.
- Hello.

Do you know
how to make half-fry eggs?

[Fatima] Dad knows how to do it.

I can try.

[Khushboo] Wow...

["Kajra Mohabbat Wala" playing]

Turn around.
Come on.

Turn around.
Good.

[phone ringing]

Yes, sir.

Nala Sopara, Devi Road, Mhada.

44B, Mhada, Devi Road,
Nala Sopara.

Motherfucker!

I had no choice.

How can you be so ruthless?

I am helpless.
I had no other choice.

Now, I can inform your daughter
that her father is a terrorist.

[Wasim] He is rotting in jail.

But that's not true.

Who cares about the truth?

Will you make her understand?

It will take a lifetime.

She will be heartbroken.

Her life will be ruined.

I just said that I'm helpless.
There's no way out.

S-Savio.

Savio?

The one who is going
to kill Gaikwad.

Savio is a fictional name
used in the underworld...

...to fool police officers.

He's a contract killer.

He has no connection
with the underworld.

He's a pure businessman.

He will work for anybody...

[Ashraf] ...if offered
the right price.

After the underworld was wiped out...

...a lot of such contract killers
mushroomed.

But the contract killer we
are talking about...

...has never missed his target.

[Ashraf] He would've
killed Gaikwad that night.

But the attack took place
during the day.

Yes. But when he survived
the attack...

...Savio got the contract.

He even reached the hospital.

But before he could arrive...

...Gaikwad was shifted
from the hospital.

As per my knowledge...

...the one who wants
Gaikwad dead...

...doesn't want to hide it anymore.

He wants Gaikwad dead at any cost.

- Where can I find Savio?
- You can't find him.

What if I want to hire him?

Do one thing.

Send a message to Savio
that there's a new job for him.

Tell him,
he will be paid handsomely.

I will try.

And I'll meet him around 5-6
in the evening tomorrow...

...at Park Hotel Celebration Bar.

Thank you.

Let me know if you need any help.

If you ever get a chance,
fire two bullets...

...into Gaikwad's chest.

Poornima.

What's the matter, Kaushik?

- Ashish had called.
- You?

I hope you made him understand.

I'm tired of talking to him.

I don't think you should interfere
in his business, Poornima.

What do you mean?

You heard me right.

Leave him alone.
Let him handle things.

Ashu complained against me to you!

He shouldn't have
involved you in this.

I'm sorry, darling.
I'll take care of it.

What did he say?

- He threatened us.
- What?

Not directly.

He said, "If someone can attack
my father in broad daylight..."

"...then no one's safe."

"Anything can happen to anyone."

Beer, please.

Excuse me.
Could you tell me what time it is?

5:30.

Hello. Scotch on soda.

Have you got any plans
this evening?

- I think you've forgotten.
- No, I know.

Were you planning to spend
the evening with me?

I was thinking that we could go
see a film together.

Which one?

[Gautam] For the last 20 years they
have been screening this film...

...at Maratha Mandir, DDLJ.

Hello? What's wrong?

I don't watch romantic films.

Why? Don't you believe in love?

Should I?

Love is an incredible thing.

Have you ever experienced love?

- No.
- Then?

Certain things can be learnt
without experiencing it.

MUMBAI CENTRAL JAIL

[phone ringing]

Why don't you come down here
in the evening?

[Katrina] What happened?

I would like to meet you
somewhere else.

All right.

I want to meet you badly...

...but not there.

It's difficult then.

I don't have freedom to go out.
Raja won't let me.

Raja?

[Katrina] The one who
manages my work.

You don't want to come down
here to meet me...

...and I can't meet you outside.

We both have a strange problem.

I'm going to hang up now.

You haven't told me your name yet.

Tell me.

- Do you remember Shanta?
- Who?

A friend of mine.
A girl has contacted her.

She claims that she has
slept with the shooter.

- Is the information genuine?
-[Khushboo] One hundred per cent.

He has badly hurt her face.

And it's hard to forget
such assholes.

What's her name?

- Katrina.
- Katrina?

Goodbye, Katrina.
