City of Dreams (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 9 - The Betrayal - full transcript

Gaikwad wakes up and faces his killer. Later, he confronts Ashish over his actions. Meanwhile, Poornima learns the truth about Gaikwad's shooting. Gaikwad makes a difficult decision.

- My prince. You are my prince, right?
- Yes.

Dad...

Come.
Ashu...

And you are my lucky charm,
aren't you?

[Title Montage]

Dad.

My lucky charm.

This is no less
than a medical miracle.

[phone ringing]

- Yes. -[Poornima] Ashu,
dad has regained consciousness.

Hello? Ashu.



Do you hear me?

Go, get the car.

Give me a drag.

What are you staring at?

- Did you talk to dad?
- Yes.

Did he say or ask something?

"Lucky charm."

That's all he said
and went back to sleep again.

Dad will ask about Uncle Jiten.

Don't worry.
I won't tell him anything.

Thanks.

That doesn't mean
I've forgiven you.

We don't need to fight
anymore, Ashu.

Are you really going to back off?



We were doing all of this because
we thought dad will never wake up.

[Poornima] But dad has
woken up.

I am more qualified than you
to run dad's empire.

Don't forget, Ashu.

Well...

We'll talk about it when...

...dad is no more.

Now everything will be back
to the way it was.

Hmm...

Will you give the statement
to the media or should I do it?

I just said that everything
will be back to the way it was.

You give the statement.

[Doctor] So far,
his vital signs are strong.

If he wakes up,
we'll do a full assessment.

- Doctor, all of our future
is in your hands. - Yes, sir.

Give me a large pack of Gold Flake.

What's going on?

Doctor, ambulance since morning.

- Has Saheb passed away?
- No.

It'll be out in the news soon that
Saheb has regained consciousness.

[Man1] Anyway, a tiger never dies.

Here.

[phone ringing]

Wasim.

I think that we won't have
to die or kill now.

- You seem to be happy.
- Gaikwad has regained consciousness.

What?
Are you sure?

The tiger will be happy to know
who the hunter was!

For many days,
after keeping the country...

...and especially the people
of Maharashtra in the dark...

[Shireen] ...today, we have received
a true news from Gaikwad family.

Ameya Rao Gaikwad has
regained consciousness.

We tried talking to his son,
Ashish Rao Gaikwad, on this matter.

But he refused to give
any interviews.

[indistinct noise]

[News Anchor] The people of Maharashtra
are celebrating after a long time.

Party's life, their leader
Ameya Rao Gaikwad...

...has finally
regained consciousness.

It's being said
that his condition is stable.

And for the first time,
we believe this information.

Not just the party workers...

...but also the people of
the state are celebrating.

This makes it clear how great
a leader is Gaikwad Saheb.

Now, we need to wait and watch...

...how Gaikwad Saheb will handle
the fight between his children.

What are you made of, Dad?

[News Anchor] Gaikwad Saheb is stable now.

Will his party be stable too?

Keep watching...

What is going on?

Everything is fine.

And you'll handle what is not fine.

And...

Ashu?

He was here since morning.
He just went back home.

Should I call him?

Jiten.

He must be on his way.

You're lying.

What happened?

Hmm?

He was murdered.

W... What?

W-Who?
Who?

Maybe the ones who shot you.

I won't spare them.

- Long live Saheb...
- Long live Saheb...

- Long live Saheb...
- Long live Saheb...

- Long live Saheb...
- Long live Saheb...

-[Amit] Your speech in Dongri...
-[Ameya] Yes.

It got two million hits.

Amit,
let your grandpa eat.

- Dad.
- Yes. - Here.

What is this?

I want to have mutton.

Dad, you are not supposed
to eat anything spicy.

- You'll have to eat this
for a few days. - No.

-[Poornima] You'll have
to eat this for a few days. - No.

-[Poornima] Dad.
-[Ashish] Dad.

My prince.

[crowd hailing for Mr. Gaikwad]

-[Crowd] Long live Saheb...
- Long live Saheb...

Take me... Outside...

My people are waiting for me.

Dad, you haven't
fully recovered yet.

I agree with Poornima ji.

I want to see them.
Now.

He's not in a position to move.

I don't think it's a good idea.
He can't move.

Nurse, wheelchair.

No, not the wheelchair.

- Long live Saheb...
- Long live Saheb...

-[Crowd] Long live Saheb...
- Long live Saheb...

- Long live Saheb...
- Long live Saheb...

- Long live Saheb...
- Long live Saheb...

- Long live Saheb...
- Long live Saheb...

-[Crowd] Long live Saheb...
- Long live Saheb...

- Long live Saheb...
- Long live Saheb...

- Long live Saheb...
- Long live Saheb...

Long live Saheb...

Finally, it's all over.

Back to our boring lives now.

Saheb.

I knew that this would
be your reaction.

"You put garlands around those
who are dead."

I'm so relieved now.

I have missed you so much,
Saheb.

Motherfucker.

I know you were behind all of this.

No one else has the balls
to do this.

But you forgot that a few bullets
can't kill Gaikwad.

Your dream of reaching Delhi
will never be fulfilled.

I'll be the one to reach Delhi.

Saheb, now that
all masks are off...

Why don't we speak frankly?

Why do people build a temple
of Lord Ram and not Laxman?

You've always been Ram
and I've been your Laxman.

I did all that you asked me to do.

I served you wholeheartedly.

I considered you my elder brother.

But you never took me as
your younger brother.

You could've at least thought
of me as your servant.

But you treated me like a beggar.

The beggar who stood
in your porch holding a bowl...

...waiting that Saheb will now
come and put an offering in my bowl.

I was tired of begging.

Delhi was my dream
and not yours.

You snatched away
that dream as well from me.

You were a filthy bug.

I helped you out.

I didn't even let your caste
be a hurdle.

Never.

I know.

I know that was your kindness.

That's why I put up with you
all these years.

But when I got to know
that your worthless son...

...is going to replace me...

...just because he is your blood...

...I couldn't tolerate it.

Jagdish, you tried everything
that you wanted to...

...but you lost anyway.

And now you will disappear...

...just like stale news.

I'll finish you off and
Ashish will become the CM.

Okay, sir.

If that is your final decision,
I'm fine with it.

But I would like to tell you
something before I leave.

I called your dear son
worthless a while ago.

Actually, he is not worthless
but a bastard.

Jagdish!

He has made a deal with me.

He didn't just feel...

...but he was sure that
you'll never wake up.

So, he made a deal with me that
I'll go to Delhi instead of you...

...and he will
become the CM here.

Now, listen
to the punch line as well.

He made this deal with me...

...when he got to know that I
issued the order to shoot you.

Jagdish.

I know why you want to kill me.

But Jiten? Why?

I believe in negotiation,
Saheb...

...and not killing.

[Jagdish] It's your style to kill.

I attempted murdering someone
just once in my lifetime.

First and the last time.

[Ashish] Dad.

- Tripathi ji is here.
- Saheb.

[Tripathi] Saheb.

- Tripathi ji.
- Saheb.

- We thought we had lost you forever.
- Not so easily.

People are waiting for you
in Delhi.

[Tripathi] Party high command
was worried about your health.

The general body meeting
is in three days.

Your timing is absolutely
correct as always.

[Tripathi chuckling]

I visited your city twice
in the last five days.

- Didn't Poornima tell you?
- No.

We came here the same evening
after the rally got over.

If I had praised Poornima's speech
over the phone...

...it would've been
disrespectful to her.

[Tripathi] Such belief
and personality...

We don't get to see it every
other day, Saheb.

Poornima was up on the stage?

She was up on the stage!

She set the stage on fire, sir.

Party high command didn't even
know that you have a daughter too.

You have always considered your son
your successor.

High command wanted to know...

...if you'll be ready
to come to Delhi or not.

Shall we leave right away?

[Tripathi] That's all
I wanted to hear.

[Tripathi] Okay then. I'll welcome
you straight at the meeting.

I'll take your leave.

Sir, I wanted to
tell you something.

Yes.

Whatever your son did with Jiten...

[Tripathi] No matter
what the reason was...

...Jiten was loyal to you.

It left me heartbroken.

[Tripathi] Okay.
I'll take your leave.

Long live India.

Ashish.

Yes, Dad.

Poornima, leave.

Dad.

Dad.

Dad...

[Ashish] Dad...

Dad.

Dad...

Dad...

Sister...

Sister.

- Dad!
- Dad...

- Nurse.
- Dad...

- Nurse!
- Nurse.

- Dad... - Dad...
- Please... Please move.

[Ashish] Dad.

I have some really
bad news for you.

Mr. Gaikwad has suffered a stroke.

Luckily,
his speech is not effected.

But his mobility is
seriously compromised.

- Which means dad...
- He won't be able to walk properly.

Forever?

[Doctor] There could be
an improvement through physiotherapy.

But it'll take time
for full recovery.

[Gaikwad grunting in pain]

[Jagdish] Hello.

Hello, Ashish.

Hey. What...
What happened, Ashish?

I made a big mistake, Uncle Gurav.

I made a huge mistake.

[Jagdish] What do you mean?
I don't understand.

At first... At first,
I went behind my father's back.

And now, he can even die
because of me.

[Jagdish] Listen... Ashish.
You...

What have I done?

Forgive me, please.
Forgive me.

Hello, sir.

Come in, Jagdish ji.
I'm happy to see you.

What was the necessity
to come to me?

- I wouldn't have troubled you on
a Sunday if it was not urgent. - Hmm.

I rushed to you as I got to know.

Saheb has suffered a stroke.

What?

I met him in the evening yesterday.

He was absolutely fine.

I spoke to his son a while ago.

- It's shocking.
- Yes, it is.

Once again, things will change.

With your permission,
shall I suggest something?

Tell me.

I want to take part
in the Lok Sabha elections.

And what about the CM's seat?

Anyway, Saheb was preparing
Ashish for the CM's seat.

Even if the high command
agrees to this proposal of yours...

...you very well know...

...that you might not get the deal
that Saheb received.

I am ready to start
at the bottom.

I'll happily accept
any portfolio...

...that the party gives me.

I felt that you were happy
in Maharashtra.

[Tripathi] You never mentioned
this before.

I'll keep this proposal of yours
in front of the high command.

[Jagdish] Thank you so much.

- I can't back off now.
-[Kaushik] I'm sorry.

I won't back off now.

Amit, go to your room.

Dad is paralysed.

He will have to choose his
successor sooner or later.

And I want to be the one.

Poornima,
we have discussed this earlier.

It's too dangerous.

-[Kaushik] Ashish, you know...
- I'm not scared.

But I am.

For Amit and myself.

You gave me your support, Kaushik.

[Kaushik] But that was before people
started killing each other.

You know,
there's bloodshed everywhere.

- So, I think you have decided.
- Yes.

Okay.

Then listen to me.
You are alone in this.

[Kaushik] Amit and I
will stay away from this.

- What do you mean?
- You just heard me.

Kaushik.

Hey, stop. Stop...

[Jagdish] I didn't
have any other choice.

I'm calling you since morning.

I thought you had committed suicide.

Ashish.

[Jagdish] Whatever
happened was wrong.

But now, you need to control yourself.

- I destroyed everything.
-[Jagdish] Wrong.

In fact, you made everything right.

What are you saying, uncle?

The deal which happened between us
24 hours ago...

- ...will be useful now.
- How's that?

Saheb is paralysed.

My route to Delhi is clear.

And now...

...Maharashtra will require
a new chief minister.

Are you ready?

Dad won't let this happen.

He doesn't have any other choice...

...except for announcing you
his successor.

Dad is angry with me.

[Ashish] He is in this state
because of me.

What if he chooses my sister?

I'm Wasim Khan.

[Wasim] I'm recording
this video because...

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

The person who gave the contract
to kill Ameya Rao Gaikwad...

...is our chief minister...

[Wasim] ...Jagdish Gurav.

This looks like a footage
of some cheap news channel.

It's ridiculous.

Most people will say the same.

How do I believe that this
isn't a conspiracy theory?

It's not even been 48 hours
since my wife was murdered.

I've sent my daughter somewhere.

Even I don't know where she is...

...or when I will get to see her.

[Wasim] My life is ruined.

If you think I'm lying...

[Wasim] ...why did your brother
Ashish send men to get me killed.

What?

What did you just say?

Ashish sent men to get me killed.

My daughter and I got saved.

But my wife...

What does Ashu have to do
with all this?

Let me start from the beginning.

So, you are saying
that Ashu knew...

...that Uncle Gurav gave the order
to get dad killed.

But still he made a deal with him.

Why should I believe this?

Maybe you're trying to take
advantage of our weakness.

Okay, here is what you can do.
Call your brother and ask.

[Wasim] Ask him.

Right now, I have very little to lose.

If I believe you for a minute...

...why have you come here, Wasim?

Gaikwad saheb has suffered
a paralytic attack.

He'll soon have to choose
a new Gaikwad...

[Wasim] ...and Shireen thinks
that it's going to be you.

Even if that happens,
what does it matter to you?

I've seen your father
Ameya Rao Gaikwad closely.

I have known him since the days
when he used to be in the docks.

He understands this city.

And he understands it the way no other
leader could ever understand it.

And that's why he has still got
a strong grip on this city.

Because, in order to
understand this city...

...you need to live
on the streets...

...and not inside these mansions
made of glass.

I am the one who lives
on the streets.

I know every corner of this city.

You'll need me...

...so that you and only you
can have your grip on this city.

And what if he doesn't choose me?

In that case,
you'll need me even more.

The same blood of Saheb
is in his daughter as well.

We won't let his bloodshed
go in vain.

-[Crowd] Long live Poornima.
- Long live Poornima...

- Long live Poornima.
- Long live Poornima...

- Long live Poornima.
- Long live Poornima...

- Long live Poornima.
- Long live Poornima...

Long live Poornima.
