Human (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 3 - Secret Lives - full transcript

Look, Gauri.

Whatever happens in the camps,

we have the consent forms, right?

That one death makes no difference.

We've been managing such deaths
for the last ten years.

We wouldn't need to cross the line
if that bloody idiot of yours,

Vivek Shekhawat, hadn't conducted
trials outside the camps.

Anyway, now Bilal and Kanta
are no more,

so nobody can get to us.

You know that S93R
is banned in Europe, right?

The deaths of Bilal,
Kanta and Tukaram



did not happen because of Vivek
but because of this faulty drug.

Your drug is faulty.

We wouldn't have had
to cross this line otherwise.

Curious that you suddenly remembered
this particular fact.

You knew it from day one.

The deaths that are happening
because of S93R...

Do you have a solution
to this problem?

Okay, let me rephrase my question.

The molecular composition
of this drug.

Will you change it?

You're telling me I should change
the drug's molecule

and restart the trial
from Phase Zero?

No, no. I don't have the time
or the money.

Such a risky drug in Manthan
and these trials,



I don't think it's a good idea.

Look, I know where
you're going with this.

But I need to hear the words
from your mouth.

Rs. 150 crore.

You're so predictable, Gauri.

Here I was thinking
you actually cared for the people.

"Dr. Gauri Nath."

"Saviour of the people."

I told you I don't have the money.

Okay.

A discounted rate owing to

Vivek Shekhawat's mistake:
Rs. 120 crore.

You have to pay the CM
to grant Elisir's extension.

Why am I the one
being pressurised?

That's unfair!

Ashok...

I really liked what you just said.

"Gauri Nath. Saviour of people."

From today onwards, the drug S93R
will be known as Saviour.

Sister, where is
Dr. Shekhawat's cabin?

His cabin's over there, ma'am.

But Dr. Shekhawat has been on leave
for the past two weeks.

Oh, yes, I had forgotten.

Okay, I need the autopsy report
of this patient.

Please, can you hurry up?

Sure, ma'am.

Mom, can I take this swimsuit also?

Neha, please.

Please don't be stubborn.

We've already packed six swimsuits
for a five-day trip.

Now you want one more?

-Child, don't be stubborn.
-Mama, please!

Okay, fine. Go quickly
and try it on.

Vivek, what are you doing?

Outside!

Be considerate.

If Neha sees you like this,
it'll scare her.

Now what's wrong?

-We're screwed.
-What happened?

-Bilal is dead.
-What!

But you spoke to him!

It was a hit-and-run.

Then I called Kanta.

Her son told me...

that his mother was electrocuted.

So, Bilal and Kanta...

they both are dead.

Vivek...

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Yes.

Any of my patients showing symptoms
are being killed off.

They're murdering innocent people?

Why don't you ask
your dad about it?

Do one thing.

Call him over. Right now.

Let's talk.

Who murdered whom, Mama?

My child...

How is she doing?

Her condition's deteriorating.

She keeps throwing up.

Meena!

Which of these meds made her sick?

Tell me!

How is that possible?
How can medicines make you sicker?

Show me.

Which one did you give her?

You told us we were going
for some tests

and got us injected
with God-knows-what!

How can anything happen
because of an injection?

Didn't you get injected too?

So, how is it that you're okay?

I will give you one tight slap!

Did you find it?

We've given her
more than one medicine!

Only a doctor can tell us
what's wrong.

Please do something.

There's blood in Mom's vomit.

We need to take her
to the hospital.

Brother, do one thing.

Go to the camp and tell them
about the blood. Go!

Who are these people?

Who are they?

Two days.

You have nothing to do
with them, right?

What was he saying?

What was he saying?

Nothing... it's nothing
to do with me.

Everything I do,
I do it for my family.

This is what you're doing
for your family?

Huh?

You were lying
when they used the needle on us.

"Nothing will happen."

Now look at your mom's condition.

Jamuna, please don't cry.

-The doctor is not well--
-Asha!

-Hi, I'm Sucheta.
-Hi.

Vivek's wife.

I'm Dr. Saira Sabharwal. Hi.

Actually,
Vivek isn't doing too well.

He's still sleeping,

so he won't be able
to meet anyone today.

But can I see him
just for two minutes?

Actually, her husband has just died.

I'm sorry.

I'm sad to hear about your loss.

You can leave a message with me.
I'll tell him.

I'm sorry, but it is very important
that I meet with Dr. Shekhawat.

I need to talk about
her husband's case history.

I can understand, but, like I said,
Vivek isn't feeling well.

So, he can't meet with you.
I'm sorry.

Whatever happens,
he has to meet us today!

How can she speak like that?

I'm sorry.
Please understand her state.

Her husband's name was Tukaram.
He was Dr. Shekhawat's patient.

If that's the case,
you should go to the hospital.

Who needs to go
to the hospital? For what?

Vivek...

Go inside, I'll talk to them.
I'm handling this!

-Just go inside!
-Who are they?

-Vivek, just--
-Let me talk to them.

Dr. Shekhawat, hi.
I'm Dr. Saira Sabharwal.

-How are you feeling now?
-He's not feeling we--

My husband's dead because of you!

-What?
-Miss...

-because of him.
-What nonsense!

Who are these people?
What's going on here?

-Get them out of here.
-I'm talking to them, please!

Vivek, what are you doing!
Go inside!

Get me some tea.

-Vivek--
-Tea!

Neha, go inside.

Please.

Dr. Shekhawat,
I just want to know

what injection you gave Tukaram.

Who's Tukaram?

See, he's not feeling well.

I meet with 375 patients, madam.

I can't remember the names
of each one.

I completely understand that.

That's why I have the file with me.

Vivek, listen to me and go inside!

Tukaram? Your patient, right?

I just want to know why the injection
you gave him isn't mentioned here.

And where's the autopsy report?

I went to the hospital.
There's nothing there.

Listen, please.
We'll take care of this.

Leave it here.

Is there anything else
you want to say?

He's not feeling well;
he needs to rest, so please--

Oh, really? He's not feeling well?
That's why he's so drunk?

Anyway, if you don't want
to co-operate or can't,

then I have no option
but to go to the authorities.

And I will. Thank you
for your time.

Come, Jamuna. Let's go.

Why don't you ever listen to me?

...is out of network coverage area.

Please try later.

Bablu, you motherfucker!

Sister.

How you doing, bro?

-Sister, one minute.
-Tell me?

So, I came with my family,
remember?

My mother has fallen very sick.

She's throwing up blood.

You don't think...

it's because of that injection
you gave her?

Huh?

No problem.

I'll speak to the doctor
and get back to you.

Yes?

Give her this.
She'll be okay.

Some other patients
had the same problem.

-This is what we gave them.
-Okay, thank you.

Sister...

can I get your number?

I mean...

if there's any problem,
can I just call you?

No.

We're not allowed.

That's fine then. Sorry.

All well.

Sister...

You look very pretty
when you smile.

Thank you, Sister.

I wish I could've been there.

When you were squeezing money
out of Ashok.

I would've loved to see his face.

I don't deal with people.
I deal with their brains.

At the front of the brain
lies the cerebrum,

which is a problem solver.

In Ashok's case,
that part's a little weak.

The funds for
Chandrakant's election campaign,

by when do we need to give them?

You know, I'm not sure
about this, love.

What's the guarantee
that he'll become CM?

He could lose the election as well.

I don't think we should play blind.

Yeah, I agree. It's a risk.

I think we should give
the money to Nathu Lal.

Immediately.

So he can get us this park
for Elisir's extension.

While he's CM.

Chandrakant will not like that.

But...

I have a feeling
you can take care of it.

Jealous?

Why don't you call your girlfriend,
Anita, to our parties?

Chandrakant always comes.

I don't call her on purpose.

If Abhay sees her, he'll behave
even more badly with us.

He still hasn't apologised
for that day.

He doesn't even acknowledge
my presence, love.

And Udai... He left us too soon.

Aunty, can we use the swing?

"Aunty, may we please use
the swing?"

Aunty, may we please use the swing?

Sure.

That's all I need.
Obedience, respect.

Really?

You want devotion
under the guise of obedience.

Blind devotion.

For now, I just want this park.

You'll get it.

You always get everything you want.

The child is waiting.

Look, Dr. Shekhawat, if you want me
to fight your case with conviction,

you'll need to tell me everything.

Don't leave anything out.

Truth is...

Bilal and Kanta were
showing side effects.

And because...

they were not part of the camps,
they had them killed off.

I think I might also be...

But why did you conduct these trials
outside the camps?

For every drug trial,
the more the subjects,

meaning patients, more the money.

Some of the money goes
to the subjects, and some to me.

Which is why I would find
a few subjects outside the camps.

And when the trials would get over,

I would submit
their reports as well.

And their consent forms?

I would fill them.

Didn't you ever worry
about being caught?

I won't judge you.

It's lawyer and client
confidentiality.

I would suggest instead of court,
you should go to the media.

Meaning?

Meaning people are scared
of the media.

If the media gets to know

that the trial of a banned drug
is being conducted on humans

by the likes of Vayu Pharma
and Gauri Nath,

because of which people
are losing their lives,

think about the national scandal
it would create.

But...

how will this help our case?

Doctor, forget about
the case right now.

Save your neck first.

The minute there's a case,
there will be an inquiry.

You've been running these camps
for ten years.

God only knows how many scams
you have done.

And the biggest thing.

Most of the documents
spanning these ten years

have your name on them.

I'm receiving constant threats.

That doctor's saying
she'll expose me.

Who else knows about this case?

My father-in-law...

Of course, my wife...

Tukaram's wife and that doctor,

the one who's threatening me,
Dr. Saira Sabharwal.

Dr. Shekhawat,
you can't become a whistle-blower

because you are
equally involved in all this.

But I'm still telling you to
go to the media because

you can use the media
to pressurise Gauri Nath.

And even if you can't
pressurise her,

at least she'll understand

that she needs to keep you happy
to stay safe.

Think about it, Dr. Shekhawat.

But remember one thing.

The people you're going up against

will charge after you
like mad elephants.

And to control a mad elephant,

you need courage.

Do you think you can do it?

The medicines have stopped
the vomiting.

But her legs are covered
in blisters.

But that nurse said she'd improve
after taking the medicine!

Meena...

Ma will get better, right?

Look, brother.

Don't lie to me.

Who were those people
on the motorcycles?

I...

I ran up a gambling debt.

First, cigarettes,

now a gambling addiction! You--

See! I knew it.
I knew you would react like this.

That's why I tell you nothing.
I'm not addicted!

I thought I'd win some money
for our family.

I didn't think beyond that.

I had good intentions
for all of us.

I would've returned their money
by now if Ma wasn't unwell. Okay?

You really know how to dish it out.

When will you understand

the difference
between wrong and right?

Go right now.

Go there right now
and clear your debt.

Here. Now go!

Devi Prasad! Devi Prasad!

Coming!

Mangu!

Someone from the camp is here
to treat your mother!

Who is it?

We're from the camp.
Here to treat your mother.

Let me see.

Who?

They're from the camp.
Here to see Mom.

Show us the patient reports
and the medication.

Right away.

What's going on?
Why is it so crowded?

Someone's here.

Here. Her new medication.

When to take what,
it's all mentioned inside.

Okay? We're off.

That's it?

Shouldn't you examine her once?

All the information you need
is in the packet.

Did your parents pamper you
more than necessary or...

ignored you?

Pamper.

In fact, they still pamper me
even today.

Especially my mother.

A person.

A group of people.

A whole civilisation.
What defines them all?

I guess, their...

upbringing?

-Culture, education--
-The brain.

The brain is the most fascinating organ
of the human body.

It was my childhood dream

to pursue neurology.

And the more I studied the brain,
the more fascinated I got.

I can read minds.

Your parents did not pamper you
more than necessary.

Nor did they ignore you.

Because overly pampered
or ignored children

don't understand the value
of respect as adults.

You know the value of respect.

I know you can handle
Swarup and Shindey.

But if there's anything,

I'm right here.

Where... where are we going?

Home.

Do you like the house
Manthan has allocated to you?

I selected it myself.

I... Actually, I love everything.

I love the house,
I love this job, I...

love Manthan and I just...

Just don't know how to
thank you enough for it.

I feel we have a lot in common.

In Greek mythology,

there's a demon called Typhoon.

He fell for Aphrodite,
the Goddess of Love.

To escape his clutches,
Aphrodite took the form of a fish.

And she swallowed him.

And then she gave birth to Typhoon
in the form of a fish.

Circularity.

Elisir's symbol.

Fish.

The symbol of rebirth.

Of transformation.

Of power.

Are you ready
for a transformation, Saira?

Then why are you wasting your time

over an incompetent, unprofessional
doctor like Vivek Shekhawat?

I don't understand one thing.

And I am not able
to neglect the fact that

such a simple treatment

led to the death of
Dr. Shekhawat's patient.

I know. You're absolutely right.

But Vivek Shekhawat is sick.

He can't care for his family

or his patients, or his profession.

He's an alcoholic.
He can barely take care of himself.

I've witnessed Mr. Pramod's
embarrassment many times.

But this means Dr. Shekhawat's
patients are at great risk!

What do you think?

Why is he on such
a long leave of absence?

Let his hospital handle this.

I want you to channel
all your energy,

all your focus, on Manthan.

Manthan's cardiology department
needs a dynamic doctor like you.

And, in the future,

a head of department
will be needed.

Hoshangabad Road?

Yeah, sorry, I decided
to meet a friend.

I will see you tomorrow?

-See you.
-Yeah. Bye.

Bye.

Yes, I've spoken to her.
It shouldn't be a problem.

And can you find out who lives at
12, Hoshangabad Road?

-Cheers.
-Cheers.

Sorry if I... disturbed you.

I was just... missing you.

For today's disturbance, thank you.

Nice lipstick, by the way.

You like it?

You'll find out.

Saira, Kajal! Food is...

For the last two years,

I kept refusing her advances.

But she would keep persisting.

She forced me into it every time.

Many times I thought of
telling you both.

But she'd threaten me

that if I told anyone...

We've spoken to your aunt.

We're sending Kajal
back to Punjab.

Let them handle their daughter.

They can get her married off.

And from now on,

there will never ever be any mention
of this in our home.

How much longer
will you be, Shalini?

No, it's okay.

I'm usually awake at this hour.

Yeah, the bed is set up.

I can't do video calls every time!

I'm telling you the bed is set up.
Take my word for it.

Okay. It isn't set up. I'm lying.
Think what you will.

Neil, I literally just got up.
I haven't even washed my face.

You'll think even this is a lie.

No, I don't want to do a video call!

Stop fucking calling me
a liar, okay!

Fuck you, Neil!

Sorry.

Oh, God.

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

I read something on Instagram.

I think it was Buddha who said

that the sun, moon and a lie

cannot be hidden.

It's a good thing you're a doctor.

Saving the lives of others

must feel good, right?

I'm so tired.

I'm so glad

that I owned my truth.

Such a weight off my mind.

I couldn't live like you do.

A new home for you and the girls.

I found the tenth girl.

Not a girl. Human guinea pig.

Now there will be no problems
with our experiment.

Once this experiment
on those girls is successful,

Elisir will then conduct
the experiments on us.

We'll forget our entire past,
our pain and our trauma.

Only...

-Till then, the injections--
-That day will come soon.

The day that we won't need
these injections.

Do whatever you want
with these girls.

Our experiment should not fail.

The trial for S93R, Saviour,
has gotten a little complicated.

More people than the usual
are dying.

We'll have to shut the camps down.

Then what about the new building?

You'll get the land
for Elisir's extension,

but the money for the building
was to come from the camps, right?

We'll start a new camp.

Anyway, we own the company
that organises these camps.

Aspire.

People think it's Sagarika,
but she's just the face of it.

We're the actual owners.

This is what happened earlier too.

When a drug trial fails,

Vayu Pharma changes
the molecular composition

to make a new drug.

And for that new drug,
we set up new camps.

That's what we'll do for Saviour.

And what if people keep dying?

It's very common for there
to be deaths in drug trials.

Anyway, what's the value assigned
to the lives of poor people?

Zero.

If they die in drug trials,

then their miserable lives
won't be in vain.

Whether they live or die,
who cares.

And who knows this better
than you and me?

Vayu Pharma won't shut
these drug trials down.

They desperately need
a successful drug.

The only problem is Dr. Shindey.

He doesn't want us to use
the money from Manthan

on Elisir.

So, what should we do
about Shindey?

I've hired a new cardiac surgeon.

She will be the bullet I will fire
straight at Shindey's heart.

What's this girl's name?

Saira Sabharwal.
