City of Dreams (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 8 - The Awakening - full transcript

[Title Montage]

- Mic okay?
- Okay.

Yeah, thank you so much.

- Good morning, sir.
- Good morning, Shireen.

Thank you so much for granting us
the permission to shoot in your office.

I have heard that your show's ratings
are very good.

Sir, that happens only when
a tragedy such as this takes place.

So true.

I only hope Gaikwad saheb
stays safe.

Yes, sir. Lots of people are
praying for his recovery.

- Sir, can we quickly mic you?
- Sure.



This is your seat.

Take your seat.
I'll be back.

I-I'll put it.
I'll put it.

Is this okay?

Hello, sir.

What are you doing here?

Sir, I want to talk to you
for two minutes.

I don't have time
for any shady cop.

Get out or I'll get you arrested.

Sir, Raman said hello to you.

[Wasim] It won't take long.
Just two minutes.

All of you, get out.

Everyone, just get out.

Mic.



Tell me.

I found out how Gaikwad was shot.

First, Raman.
Raman to Reddy.

Reddy to Savio, Savio to Imran,
Imran to shooters.

What the entire Mumbai police couldn't
do, you did it all on your own.

[Wasim] Thank you.

- Does Shireen know about it?
- No.

But if you don't help me,
I'll tell her.

You can't prove shit.

Elections are approaching.

I can create enough ruckus...

...that people will start
suspecting your clean image.

[Wasim] Your party and the public.

And then no one can predict...

...what's going to happen to you.

Okay.

I'll give you what you want.

- That enquiry report...
- I'm not here for that.

- Then?
- I want a ticket from your party.

- What?
-[Wasim] Yes, sir.

For 13 years, I am being
kicked around...

...like a football.

[Wasim] I tried everything to remove
my name from the enquiry report.

[Wasim] Nothing has worked out.

Sir, in our country,
there are many stars.

Bollywood stars, cricket stars,
army, we, the police.

But the real power
lies with people like you, sir.

[Wasim] With our ministers.

They sit and decide
what's going to happen to us.

And you people can decide anything,
right...

You can make the guilty innocent
and the innocent guilty.

Today, you'll remove my name
from this enquiry report.

Tomorrow,
someone else will replace you...

...and put my name
in some other enquiry report...

...and I'll keep running behind him
like an asshole.

What is the use?

That's why I've decided, sir...

...enough of policing.

That was a good speech.

For a second, I felt as if a minister
is giving a speech in front of me.

You've got the talent.

Now, listen to my answer.

I won't give you anything.

Had you wished, I would've removed
your name from the enquiry report.

But the dream that
you're aiming for...

...is beyond your capacity.

Sir, I'll tell Shireen.

If you really wanted to,
you would've already told her.

Freedom, justice.
It's not like you want any of that.

You're like us.

By creating a problem in my life,
you won't be able to gain anything.

Sir, when Ashish Gaikwad
gets to know...

...who gave the contract
to get his father killed...

...he is going to lose it.

Tell Ashish.
What will Ashish do?

He was finished
on the day of the rally itself.

Even the party doesn't
need him anymore.

That's why you came to me
instead of going to him.

Because I'm the one...

...who can give you
what you wish for.

Your plan has failed, Wasim Khan.

So, go where you have come from.

RA police station.

You took a big risk, Shireen.

- Yes, sir.
- And you'll pay for this.

Thanks.

The meeting didn't go
the way I expected it to.

I'm sorry.

Remorse doesn't suit you,
Wasim Khan.

Well, at least, you can
tell me now...

...why you wanted to meet
Jagdish in private.

Okay.

I had finished your career,
and now you have finished mine.

We are equal now.

Let's go.

[knock on the door]

MR. PARASHURAM R. JOSHI

Where... Where were you?

I was so worried
that I couldn't sleep.

Y-Your phone is switched off.
Where...

- What happened?
- Manjari.

- Manjari.
- Yes.

Forgive me for all my mistakes.

[phone vibrating]

Poornima.

[Poornima] Uncle Jagdish,
I want to meet you.

It's a bit urgent.

Okay then, come to my office.

[Poornima] Okay, I'll come.

Uncle Gurav.

Oh, ho...
Look who is here to meet me.

Stay blessed.
My favourite niece.

You always say that
and make me cry.

How can you say that?
Did you forget who named you?

Sit down.

I always tell Saheb, Poornima
is like that ray of happiness.

No one other than you
in Mumbai...

...can say such sweet things.

You have come here today,
all of a sudden.

I presume something important.

Uncle, you know what happened
at the rally.

Hmm... Very unfortunate.

Tripathi ji came from Delhi
to meet me.

- He didn't tell me.
- I'm telling you.

I want everything
to be transparent.

Especially, between the two of us.

Tripathi ji was saying...

...that Delhi high command
is very happy with my speech.

I'm so glad.
It was a very good speech.

When Saheb
regains consciousness...

...I'll tell him everything.
I'm sure he'll be very happy.

- Uncle, there is one more thing.
- One more?

I've been receiving only
shocking news since morning.

I've decided to join politics.

- Aren't you happy?
- No... That's not the thing.

I just told you that I've been receiving
only shocking news since morning.

Now that I'm getting
into politics...

...and Ashu is no longer my brother
but my competition...

...I need your support.

I never thought that I'll have
to choose one amongst my family.

I'm sorry to put you
in a difficult position.

But your support for me
can change everything.

Dear, I'll have to think
about this.

I'll have to speak to Ashish too.
After all, he is my family as well.

I understand.

But I hope that you'll
support the one...

...who deserves your support.

If in case you don't support me
because of some reason...

...I won't feel bad.

You will remain the same
loving Uncle Gurav of mine.

Always.

- I'll take your leave.
- Okay.

One minute.

That...
I want to meet Poornima ma'am.

- Who are you?
- I work for her at Star Fisheries.

Ma'am is not home.

- When can I meet her?
- I don't know.

- I...
- You please leave.

Please.

You need to change the bandage
every alternate day.

Don't forget.

And don't forget to take antibiotics.

- Or else it'll get septic.
- Okay, sister.

And don't forget to send me
your wedding pictures.

Okay.

[Jagdish] Ashish.

- Hello, Uncle Gurav.
- Stay blessed.

Why did you want
to meet me here?

I wanted to stand in front of
Saheb along with you...

...and tell you something.

The one who gave the order
to shoot Saheb...

...is me.

Dad...

[Ashish stammering]

Motherfucker...

[Jagdish screaming]

- Ashish...
- Motherfucker...

Ashish, stop this stupidity.
Don't...

- Ashish...
- M-Motherfucker...

Look...
Don't ruin your life.

[Jagdish] You won't be spared
if you kill the CM.

You'll rot in jail forever.

Don't shoot.
Don't... Don't shoot.

He loved you like a brother,
Motherfucker!

Even I love him.

Come on.
More than he loves me.

[Jagdish] If he is Ram,
I'm his Laxman.

I always did what Saheb
asked me to do.

I never questioned him
as to why I'm doing this.

[Jagdish] 10 years ago,
we both made an agreement...

...that I'll go to Delhi...

...and Saheb will be the
chief minister of Maharashtra.

Delhi was always my dream, not his.

[Jagdish] But suddenly one day,
he called me and said...

...that he'll be going to Delhi.

And I'll stay here.

[Jagdish] I didn't say anything
at that point of time.

But, son...

...this thing has always
disturbed me.

Trust me, I tried my best
to forget it.

But this fucking wound
never healed.

You understand that he was
unfair to me, right?

[Jagdish] Put yourself in my shoes.
Only then you will understand.

You know that Saheb
always thought of himself.

[Jagdish] All that he did was
for his well-being.

Why are you telling all this to me?

Why not to Poornima?

Because you can still
help me achieve my dream.

Poornima can't.

I will make you the chief minister
of this state.

And I'll go to Delhi
instead of Saheb.

This way, we both will get
what we want.

Imagine, I say yes.

What are we going to do
about Poornima?

Don't worry about Poornima.

First of all,
we need to come to an agreement.

But what if dad wakes up?

In that case,
Saheb will go to Delhi.

I will resign.

You will be the chief minister
of Maharashtra.

There is just one weak link
in our plan.

Sir. Sir...

Sir, Rakesh sir was telling me
that you are going on a leave.

Fatima's holidays have started.
I'm taking her on a vacation.

For six months, sir?

I'm taking a break.

You too come along.

[Deven] Purushottam bhai.
Wait, Purushottam bhai.

You were nowhere to be seen today.

Do you remember
that canteen girl...

...who was responding to my advances?

I'm taking her today
to my friend's bungalow.

Madh Island.

I'm planning to have
wild sex with her.

You very well know my style.

What are you staring at?

I'm wondering how long you're
going to keep blabbering.

I've been hearing your
fucking stories for two years.

I keep hearing.

Deven.

The ones who actually fuck
don't keep talking about it.

And the ones who keep talking
don't actually get to fuck.

[phone vibrating]

[door bell ringing]

Good evening.

Go.

- Is it true?
- Hmm.

The great Wasim Khan
is actually taking a vacation!

I thought that it will make
this father and daughter bond.

At least once in a while
speak the truth, Wasim.

I'm tired, man.

Listen.

There is still time for the flight.

Chinese?

Why not?

Help me, man.

Sorry. I'm not your wife anymore.
No help.

I have not yet said,
"I divorce you".

See, there you go.

- You just said it, Wasim.
- Hey...

- This is wrong. I...
- You just said.

[door bell ringing]

That should be the food.

Here you go.

On me.

- How much is it?
- 650 rupees.

Wasim!

[gunshots]

[gunshots]

[gunshots]

- Who sent you?
- Ashish bhau.

[gunshot]

[Khushboo] What happened?

Wasim.
What happened?

They killed Meher.

Take away Fatima from here.

To a place which even
I'm not aware of.

- I'll take her to my aunt.
- Yes. - Nagpur...

Give me your phone.

Keep this phone.

Don't call anyone at any cost.

If there is any emergency...

- ...either call me or wait for my call.
- Okay.

And if something happens to me...

...there's one more number
saved on this phone.

Fatima still needs her father.

I, Sub Inspector, Wasim Khan...

...RA police station,
Mumbai Police.

I'm recording this video because...

...I don't know
how long I'll stay alive.

Wasim.

I've just found out about Meher.

- I'm really sorry.
- It's okay.

Everything is in here
about Ameya Rao Gaikwad's shooting.

You figured it out?
Who?

- Jagdish Gurav.
- You're fucking kidding me!

I can't believe this.
This is absurd.

This is the truth.

And there is just one proof
and that's my face.

That's why Jagdish
is after your life.

Not Jagdish.
Ashish.

Ashish?
But why?

I have fucking no idea.
But they are together.

- I'll break this news right away.
- No.

- You just wait and watch.
I'm going to make... - Unless...

- Unless I ask you to.
- But this is explosive, Wasim.

If this recording goes on-air,
they'll be no longer scared.

They'll find me, and then,
after me, Fatima.

This is the only trump card
I'm left with.

Okay.

[door bell ringing]

Good evening, ma'am.

Charan.
How are you?

Where is she?
Where is your madam?

[Lipakshi] Call her.

Hi.

Hi.
You smell so good.

You're drunk.

Why aren't you answering my calls?

I told you I was busy.

Hmm. Too busy to answer
a friend's call?

You don't often lie, Poorni.

- At last, the day has come.
- What?

The day, when you'll tell me...

"...henceforth,
we can't meet each other."

Don't be melodramatic.

It's written all over your face,
Poorni.

Listen,
this is not permanent, okay?

When were you planning to tell me?
Huh?

Or were you not planning
to tell me at all?

I was mustering up the courage
to say it.

Nothing in my private life
is private anymore, Lipakshi.

I'm going to be under
a lot of scrutiny.

People will peek into my life
with a microscope...

...to see where I go wrong.

For few more days.
Things will have to be normal.

- Normal?
- Shh... Please.

What is this?
Abnormal?

Listen, you know what I mean.

The decision that you are taking...

...I can't hear it
while I'm sober.

I can't.

Okay.

You know what?
Fuck you.

Even you can't take this decision
all by yourself.

- I'm in it, dammit.
- Stop this, Lipakshi.

Trust me. I will fix this.

I have nothing but you.

You are the most important
part of my life.

But leave for now.
Trust me, please.

Don't make me beg.
Please.

[door bell ringing]

Hello, ma'am.

You used to work for Uncle Jiten,
right?

Yes, ma'am.

I thought you are the rightful
claimant of this.

I know why you aren't answering
my calls.

Have you gone mad?

Raja will kill you if he sees
you here. Leave right away.

You told me that you'll marry me.

I told you so that you calm down.

Did you lie to me?

You live in a world
which doesn't really exist.

Now leave.

- Trust me.
- Don't irritate me.

My life is going fine.

Don't put things like love,
marriage into my mind.

[Katrina] You slept with a girl
for the first time...

...and you feel that you
are in love with her.

Trust me. You don't need
to do anything for me.

Whatever happened between us...

...and whatever exists now...

Don't malign it.

I know why you're saying all this.

But it's not going to affect me.

I'll get you out of this place
and then marry you.

I want to trust you.

So, anna.

He is the guy who has been eyeing
my girls all evening, right?

Yes.

What do you want, dude?

Katrina.

Take her.

5000 rupees for an hour.

I love her.
I want to marry her.

Asshole, you don't even know
her real name...

...and you want to marry her!
Huh?

Look at him, man.

When kids like him
get a taste of cunt...

...this is what happens.

Look at her.

Look at her from top to bottom.

She is my property, got it?

I'm not interested in selling her.

Because people like you
can't afford to buy her.

Come on, leave.
And don't come here again.

If I see you here again,
I'll fuck your happiness.

Get lost!

I'll come back.

What did you say, motherfucker?
Get lost!

[Raja] Get out! Leave.

Wanna brush? Brush.
Come on...

Yes. Cigarette.

"I've pricked the nail."

- I've... - "I've pricked the nail."
- ...pricked the tail.

No, not tail. It's nail.

Tail...

- Nail.
- I've pricked the nail.

We welcome our new king.

Come on, say it.

We welcome our new king.

What?
The word is...

[phone ringing]

- Move...
-[Girl] What happened?

Tell me, my commander.

You motherfucker.

What did you say?
What!

You sent men to get me killed,
right?

What are you saying?

I know you sent them.

I heard that they killed your wife.

Did she die in your arms
just like in the movies?

The issue was between us.

You shouldn't have involved
my family.

What're you going to do?
Huh?

Who are you, motherfucker?
Huh?

- Fucking police officer.
-[Wasim] I was.

I was a police officer.

I've been killing people like you
even before you were born.

When a man is left with no option...

...he turns out to be
the most dangerous one.

Hey...
[Ashish stammering]

We'll see.

We'll see. Hang up.

- Hang up!
-[Wasim] You cocksucker.

One more encounter is pending
by Encounter Wasim.

You.

Santosh.

Santosh, call off the party.
Ask everyone to leave.

- Get out! Come on, out!
- Come on, leave.

Get everyone out of here.

Hey, you.
Go get the security.

Get the security.
No one should get inside the house.

- No one should get in.
Go! - Okay.

Go. Motherfucker.

Close everything.
The windows, the doors.

Get everyone out.
No one should get inside the house.

Motherfuckers!
