Human (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - The Red Truck - full transcript

Now you are one of us.

Okay?

You have nothing to be scared of.

Yes.

We used to be like you.

But then we met Roma Ma.

We're so incredibly fortunate.

Wait and watch.

Gradually, you'll forget
all these scars

and start a new life.

And then you will laugh forever.



Everything you have gone through...

I will help you forget it all.

It'll take some time, child.

But when it's done,
you will no longer be scared of fire.

She has such a lovely smile!

Right, Roma Ma?

-Trolley ready?
-Yes, Doctor.

Dr. Sabharwal.

Didn't you get the memo?

Dr. Verma will assist me
in this aneurysmectomy.

I have been preparing
for this surgery, Dr. Shindey.

Right now, I need experience
more than I need preparation.

You could've discussed it
with me.

Can we talk about this later?



We're ready to operate and
all you want to do is argue?

Right now, my patient is more important
than your ego.

-Shall we start? Please.
-Sure.

Suture.

I'm sorry to hear about
what happened in the OT.

...later. The person you're
trying to reach...

Does the entire hospital
have shitty network,

or is my cabin extra special?

So frustrating, man.

I've been trying since morning.

Dr. Nath isn't answering,
and neither is Mr. Ahuja.

I called Mr. Ahuja
a little while ago.

He said he was busy
and he couldn't talk.

Also, you got a call from
Habibganj Police Station.

A sub-inspector named
Gopal Singh.

He's the last caller
on your phone.

Oh, okay. Thank you, Raghav.

Hello, Mr. Gopal Singh?

This is Dr. Saira Sabharwal.
You called?

Jamuna?

Really?

Okay, I'll call you
in a little while.

Yes, thank you.

The number you are calling
is either switched off

or not reachable at the moment.

It's that bloody woman Saira again.

God!

Couldn't Dr. Nath have found
someone else to hire?

She's made our lives a living hell,
bloody bitch!

How long has the hospital granted
a leave of absence to Vivek?

No clarity there.

And, after Saira's complaint,
there will be an inquiry.

Papa, Vivek is very troubled.

He's lost two jobs in one week.

I'll talk to Gauri.

But I don't think she'll fire Saira.

She has a big game plan.

I don't care!

Saira might be Gauri's mistake,
but we're the ones paying the price!

Papa, you haven't even been able
to save Vivek's job in the camps.

And what if his medical licence
gets cancelled now?

What about Neha's future, Papa?

Firstly, you're in no position
to be interrogating me.

Pose these questions
to your husband!

This is all your doing.

I didn't even know
what you were up to.

Already I'm embarrassed enough
thanks to you two.

Why are you looking away now?
Where's Vivek?

-What would you like to drink?
-Dr. Nath.

Nothing. Thank you, Dr. Nath.

-Some scotch?
-Yes.

You'll get both your jobs back.

That police complaint
will also be withdrawn.

You just need to wait a bit.

How's Neha?

-Neha's fine.
-Sit.

But these days
she's a little upset with me.

We had planned a trip to Goa.

But we had to cancel it
because of all these problems.

Why? Please don't cancel it.

Poor baby.

-I know.
-You all must go.

But Sucheta and I are planning
something better for Neha.

You see, Dr. Nath...

I don't need those jobs anymore.

We're moving to
Chiang Mai... in Thailand.

I'm thinking of opening
a wellness centre over there.

But we will never forget
what you did for Sucheta and me.

Mr. Pramod and you all
are like family.

And I really appreciate
this quality about you.

You take risks.

Yes, but...

this time I don't want to.

You know Manish Rana, right?

From New Age Express?

He's a good friend of mine.

Last year, he won
the Deen Dayal Gulati Award

for bold investigative journalism.

Yeah, very impressive.

Yes.

I met him for coffee today.

We were talking and the subject of
Tukaram's death came up.

Basically, he wants me
to become a whistle-blower.

Dr. Nath, I...

Actually, I drove here, so...

driving back would be...

Right. You shouldn't drink.

Dr. Nath, if I wanted,

I could've mailed the file
to Manish right then.

I swear. There and then.

It has the details
of all the drug trials

of the last ten years.

The good, the bad, everything.

You..

understand where I'm going
with this, right, Dr. Nath?

But, like I told you, Dr. Nath,

I don't want to take any risks.

I just need Rs. 5 crore
for the wellness centre

and another five
for Neha's future security.

Good plan.

This Saira Sabharwal
filed a police complaint,

and the hospital put me
on indefinite leave.

And then you...

removed me from the camps'
Principal Investigator position.

I've worked with you
for ten years, Dr. Nath.

I'm sorry, Dr. Nath.
I had to find a way.

I like this wellness centre plan.

Would you like to partner
with me on this?

After everything that's happened...

After that, I want to sever
all connections here.

That's why I want to
leave this country.

Please don't mind, Dr. Nath.

Of course I understand.

All the very best to your future.

Cheers.

Thank you.

Thank you.

The person you are calling
is not answering.

Please try later.

Look behind you!

Listen, Jamuna lives here, right?

Yes.

Do you know where she is right now?

Yes.

-Well then, tell me?
-First, buy me a kite.

Okay...

Jamuna aunty has gone back
to her village for good.

Hello!

Hey!

Let me go!

Motherfucker!

Fucker!

Let me go, asshole!

Oh!

Join us, child.

We were just about to begin.

Today you'll have to make do
with simple food.

If you had told me you were coming,

I would have made
your favourite lamb curry.

I'm not here to eat.

Dad...

you were unable to tell me
on the phone, so tell me now.

Where is Jamuna?

Papa, I'm asking you.

Child, she was hesitant to tell you,

so she told me to tell you.

She's left Bhopal for good
and returned to her village.

Oh, my God.

What do I do about you both?

Why do you hide things from me?

First, you didn't tell me
about Ma's stent, and now this.

Papa, if she wasn't your patient,
I wouldn't have bothered so much.

Did he tell you
to do anything for her?

They're poor people,
terrified of the police.

Dealing with a court case
was too intimidating.

She must've been paid off,
and she took the money.

Let it go now; forget it.

Who gave her the money?

I'm just assuming she got paid off.

What else could it have been?

Who gave her what,
she can't divulge that information.

She was obviously paid
for her silence.

Okay, leave Jamuna aside.

Explain to me why you both
keep things from me.

You knew that I had filed
a police complaint

on behalf of Jamuna.

What were you waiting for?

Do you even know how much
the situation has escalated?

The police are calling me constantly
to ask about Jamuna!

Didn't you hide things from us?

There is someone else
in Neil's life. Right?

What?

Then why does Neil live
so far away from you?

Don't let your profession
and social work

take priority over your life!

It is your responsibility
to make Neil live with you.

I quit eating meat when I was 15,
dear Mother!

I don't even remember
what lamb curry tastes like!

But instead of caring about
my likes and dislikes,

you only care about
the rest of the world!

I don't see any benefit...

What are you saying?

Look at these blisters.

Look how big they are getting.

Who are these people?

This is Mr. Keshav and this is Mr--

OP. Omair Pervez.

They are both social workers.

Their organisation is called
Aarogya Uday.

They help
the Bhopal gas tragedy victims.

That's why I called them.

This is Mangu, my older brother.

He fell off the bike, so...

-You're quite badly injured.
-Yes.

Haven't you been to a doctor?

We don't have
that much money, Mr. Omair,

to visit the doctor
for every small thing.

Why?

You must have been paid quite a bit
for the drug trial, right?

-What? Money?
-Mo--

Look, Meena. From what
you told us, it's obvious.

Your mother and father
were part of a drug trial.

And drug trials pay
a fair amount of money.

We didn't get any money.

They gave our parents
a free medical check-up, that's it.

My brother got a new job over there.

-Hmm?
-Yes.

So, they didn't pay you?

You wretch.

You're pimping your own parents?

Dad!

Motherfucker!

Mangu! Mangu!

Listen to me!

What bullshit are you telling
my parents!

Mangu!

I'll show you!

Do you think
I'll do this to my parents?

Mangu!

Mangu, enough!

-Calm down.
-Mr. Omair...

Shut up!

Careful! Careful!

Dr. Mehta, kindly report to
the emergency ward immediately

Hi, Mansi. Dr. Nath?

Hi, Dr. Sabharwal.
I'll just let Dr. Nath know.

Dr. Nath...

Hi. Can't talk right now;
have an emergency.

-Walk with me?
- Okay.

What's the emergency?

Riya Sareen, aged 17 years.

She keeps passing out.

She's having seizures.

We've put her on an EEG.
Have a look.

What do you think?

I think we're focusing
on the wrong organ.

The patient needs an ECG.

Why do you say that?

Because there are no problems
with the patient's neuro-results.

She should be tested for
cardiovascular syncope.

You surprise me.
In a very good way.

And, Dr. Nath, you were right
about Dr. Shekhawat.

I shouldn't have
gotten involved in his mess.

It was an absolute waste of time.

Vivek got what he deserved.

I'll speak to Mr. Pramod.

But you know, I also noticed that,

despite being so unprofessional,

Dr. Shekhawat conducted
many trials in the last ten years.

Let's just focus on Riya right now.

Yes, of course.

You can refer the case to
my department, and I'll take over.

The point that you
brought up in this case,

it's very critical, but...

which doctor should handle
their daughter's case,

that's her parents' choice, right?

No, absolutely. I understand that.

I hope you're going to give me
good news about S93R.

After tweaking the molecule,

the side effects have
decreased considerably.

-And--
-Deaths?

Zero.

Till now.

But it may be too early
for a guarantee--

This is good news!

This is really good news!

Karthik.

Contact Aspire and get an appointment
with Sagarika Banerjee.

I have already spoken to Sagarika.

I've told her about the success
of our modified molecule.

She wants to start Phase 1 trials
as soon as possible.

I see.

Dad, I want to have a word with you.
Shall we go outside?

-Great job.
-Thank you, sir.

Dad...

we can't afford to do
Phase 1 human trials again.

Already enough time and money
have been wasted, so please...

Let me handle it.

What are you going to handle?

You'll go directly from animal trials
to Phase 2 human trials?

Have you lost your senses?

I'm in my senses,
that's why I'm saying what I am.

Have you seen the audit reports?

Our revenue is a joke.

We need a successful drug
no matter what.

Otherwise, we'll be
out of business very soon.

Phase 2 human trials...

will happen in all hospitals
in the country.

S93R will only be tried
on critically ill patients.

That is why we are safe.

It's an optional drug
for these patients.

And if the patient dies...

it'll make no difference because
they were dying already.

We'll keep modifying our drug

till it is 100% efficient.

We have to become
a market leader, Dad.

I also have taken risks. High risks.

And I've conducted several trials

to introduce new drugs.

But never the way you're doing it.

There are some rules

you never break.

Not done.

Easy, muscleman.

Why are you channelling your anger
on this dead body?

You're hurting the poor guy's soul.

Be gentle, son.

A cobbler also doesn't sew
so forcefully

as you are through that man's neck.

Hey! Be gentle, son.

You're my life's biggest mistake.

Huh?

Why are you flapping about
like a kite?

What have I done?

Why are you getting
on my nerves, man?

Fine. Don't tell me.

My life is royally fucked!

Because of you.

How can I fix all this!

Still living the good life, I see.

What woe seems to have
befallen your royal kingdom?

This watch...

Here. Go for it.

It's life. Shit happens.

Have some more if you feel like it.

Anyone else in your place
would have thought,

"How could Riya have a heart problem
at such a young age?"

But the report clearly shows
a blockage in her heart.

For now, to stabilise her condition,
we'll fit a pacemaker,

but I would strongly advise
surgery in the next few days.

Surgery?

Is there no other option?

And the surgery...
Dr. Shindey will do it, right?

Vinita, Rohan, whoever does
the surgery is completely your call.

But...

I have to admit that
this is the first time

a case has been misdiagnosed
in Manthan.

And if Dr. Sabharwal
wasn't around, then...

That's why I think Dr. Sabharwal
is the best choice for the surgery.

You all have 24 hours to decide.

Think on it and make your decision.

Eat something.

Bro.

Why'd you get so worked up?

You could've just said
you didn't get the money.

But God knows what came over you.

Are you even worried about Ma?

Huh?

What are you looking at?

Meena...

I did get the money.

I... needed to pay off
my gambling debt.

But I didn't even do that.

Forgive me, Meena!

I've made a mistake.

Look, Meena, I won't be able
to forgive myself if...

if Ma...

Meena!

I love Ma even more than you.

You love her more than me?
I should forgive you?

What have you done?

What have you done!

Dog! Can you see Ma's condition?

Can you?

Can you see?

Do you see the state she's in?

Forgive me, please!

I won't do anything like this again!

Liar! You can see Ma suffering.
Can't you?

You can see that. Right?

I'm begging for forgiveness, Meena.

Please.

If anything happens to Ma,

even I am dead to you.

Dog!

I'll do whatever I can
to save Ma, Meena.

Please just forgive me.

What has happened, Meena?

It was a mistake
of the neuro department.

She's a heart patient, Snehal.

And you didn't recognise it
until now?

I'm shocked.

How many games will you play, Gauri?
What the hell are you doing?

I'm... I'm sorry?

I'm heading the cardiac department.

And you're going out of your way
to promote Saira.

The full responsibility
of my department is mine.

You're giving such a high-profile case
to an inexperienced doctor?

Eleven years isn't inexperience.

Don't school me
on experience, Gauri.

What is wrong with you, Snehal?

I don't recognise you!

You're not the Snehal I knew.

You used to promote new talent.

You used to care for the hospital.

Not just your department,

you wanted to see
Manthan moving forward.

You have a lot of confidence
in your mind-reading skills, right?

As you should.

But that doesn't mean
the rest of the world is dumb.

I oppose your plans about Elisir,
that's why you're doing all this.

But remember one thing.

If you make my life difficult
in the hospital,

I'll make hell for you
in the boardroom.

In the boardroom,
you are the outsider.

The way your family
sits in the boardroom

and covers up things
in the name of charity,

I know everything.

If I am an outsider,
that means I can venture outside.

If you want to leave,
I won't stop you.

But before you leave, don't forget

to take all those documents
that have your signature on them.

Snehal, a doctor is only as big
as their reputation.

And my reputation is substantial.

If Mrs. Savarkar finds out
that, during her surgery,

she almost lost her life
because of your mistake, then?

Aren't we glad Saira was with us?

Manthan will work
the way I want it to work.

And you will agree with
every decision regarding Elisir.

I need your support, Snehal.

Without any if or but.

My every yes is
very valuable to Elisir, right?

If you want my credibility,

then first show Saira the way out.

Done.

-Rs. 954.
-Rs. 954. Keep the change.

Thank you, sir.

Come on, everybody.
Food's here. Come on!

-All right.
-Come on.

Let's dig in.

-I'm starving.
-Me too.

-All right.
-It got late today.

Come on.

Pass me the plate.

-To me too.
-This is for you.

Here.

Let's finish our work
and then leave.

Yes, eat first.

The consequences of exposing
big companies.

-Hi, Vibha.
-Hi.

Can you switch on the water heater?

Welcome home!

Neil? What the fuck!

What do you want to do first?

A verbal war...

or a conjugal war?

Because the bed is almost ready.

Shut up, why did you come
without telling me?

And what is this language,
"war" and all?

Come on, I was trying
my best to be a Bhopali.

Okay, never mind, no war.

Only...

love.

You think you can play the hero
by giving me such a shitty surprise?

I'm really pissed off that
you came without telling me.

Okay, okay. I'm sorry. I'm sorry?

-I thought you'd be happy to see me.
-Not at all.

Really?

Not even a little? Hmm?

-No.
-Not even a drag?

Best of Afghani stuff.

Later.

I came fully prepared.

And I will not accept any excuse.

Okay, be patient. Let me wash up.

I'm smelling of the hospital.
And I need to make an urgent call!

It's this very smell
that I was so missing...

Okay, fix the bed first, let me--

Wait a second, just wait...

-Just a second
-Neil, really?

-No, please!
-Just wait...

Please, just a second.

-Yeah, got it.
-Fucking thief.

-Hey, where are you?
-I have just reached.

With a bottle of your favourite merlot
and some brie.

Listen, Neil is back.

-Were you planning a threesome?
-Stop joking. I...

gotta go, and I'm really sorry
about this, okay?

Saira?

Please help yourself.

You know, there's a part
of the human brain

that specialises in manipulation.

Their brains lack
that part completely.

It's so sad, no?

We have to depend on them
for loyalty.

I'm disregarding
all of Vivek's mistakes.

I'm helping him; I want to.

Only because of you.

I know.

And trust me, Gauri.

Even Sucheta didn't tell me
Vivek was here.

I'm really sorry about it.

No, please. Please don't say sorry.

Parents should not have to apologise
for their children's mistakes.

Sit, boy.

Working for Manthan is
more important to me than the money.

Please don't think

that I colluded with Sucheta
and Vivek to betray you.

And please trust me
when I'm saying this.

Of course I trust you.

But, Mr. Pramod,
Vivek threatened me.

I'm... I'm really sorry about it.

I will need to speak to Vivek.

But with you present.
We need to know the truth.

Sure.

When?

Now, if you can call him?

Yes, of course.

Listen to me carefully.

Don't be nervous, okay?
Don't be nervous at all.

You've done a lot for that woman.

Just remember not to settle for
a penny less than Rs. 10 crore.

We deserve this money. Okay?

If she offers you
anything to drink, refuse it.

-Yes.
-You know how cunning she is.

If you give in even a little,
she'll swoop in to get her own way.

I love you.

I'll manage Papa.

-Vivek, you just...
-I got it.

...remember only to say
what we decided.

-Okay?
-Okay.

Good luck.

Get up!

Move!

We need to empty this place!

Come on, out. All of you!

Quickly! Out!
