Human (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 5 - Not My Baby - full transcript

Push!

Push!

Push harder. Come on.

This is a common custom
in our village...

There's a celebration
when a girl child is born.

because the girls are sold.

Badke Baba purchases them.

He bought me as well.

I am not as old as I look.

My father injects me.

And my mother...



My mother overfeeds me

so that I can grow up faster.

If I refuse, they beat me.

I've matured faster
because of these injections.

It hurts a lot.

I can't even sleep.

Do you promise

to teach me computer science?

Look...

there is medication
for bodily pain.

But you need to erase the pain
that is in your mind.

How much more can you bear?

Build up the courage,
and get out of here.

Where, how and when to come,
I have already told you.



You will learn computer science.

And you will laugh all the time.

I was terrified.

But I still ran away from home.

I needed to get to Roma Ma.

She had chosen me.

But she didn't choose Roopa.

Roopa's a friend of mine.

I wanted her to come with me.

She's a hooker too.

We're all hookers.

The way she got me out,

when Roopa's time comes,
Roma Ma will get her out too.

It's not unusual to have unexpected
symptoms in the pre-experiment phase.

This is no ordinary experiment.

We're talking about
trauma erasure here.

So, please just do exactly
as I prescribe.

In fact, this has happened
after you increased the dosage.

And we have been administrating
the drug exactly as you prescribed.

According to him,
the girls aren't ready.

And no matter what I say,

he'll do the experiment
on his own terms.

So, why are the girls laughing?

He is saying that in experiments
like trauma erasure,

such side effects are
bound to happen. It's normal.

So, why isn't he starting
the experiment?

Dr. Ross, their involuntary laughter,
their smiles are ringing bells.

They are being medicated
under my supervision

into a state of euphoria...

as preparation for the experiment.

And remember, as I've always said,
even if we fail,

it is only to learn.

Ma, there's a pre-experiment phase.

Till that phase isn't over,
the experiment cannot begin.

Why is all the control in his hands?

Who is he compared to you?

He should know exactly
who he's working for.

You've given him
such a massive opportunity!

It is what it is.

For now,

let's stick to the dosage
he's prescribed for the girls.

No changes in the experiment.

We've waited this long.

We can wait some more.

I'm here when you need me.
You know that, right?

I couldn't do anything.

They kept asking me for help,
but I couldn't do anything.

The police say it's a standard
drink-and-drive case.

But we know it's a hit-and-run case.

The truck and its driver
are missing,

but I've spoken to the Commissioner.

They will get the culprit.

And Vivek's name, his reputation,
will be cleared.

I promise. For now,
Neha and Sucheta...

and you.... please take care
of yourselves.

By the looks of it, it looks like
an allergic reaction.

But you mentioned a drug trial?
What drug?

Doctor, unfortunately we don't have
any information

about the drug right now.

In that case, we'll have to do
quite a few tests

and that will take time.

It'll take time?

Can't you see how much
she's suffering?

Don't drive me crazy, Doctor!
What are you saying?

What are you saying?

-Look--
-Quiet.

I'm sorry, Doctor.

You know the state of drug trials
in our country.

I work for Aarogya Uday.

This is a humble request.

There has to be some solution.

Look, we're preparing
for the surgery.

If her wound isn't treated
as soon as possible,

she may be in even more pain.

After the operation,
she'll be fine, right?

Look, sir...

it is vital that we know
what drug she was injected with.

Otherwise, finding the source
of her allergic reaction

will be quite difficult.

I don't want to be disturbed.

Mr. Nathu Lal...

I don't think

the people will let you go anywhere
for the next 5 years.

You must deal with so much
work pressure. I can't even imagine.

And with a new CM term,
it'll just increase.

You're taking care
of your health, right?

When did you get
your last medical check-up done?

I'm so busy taking care
of the state's health

I barely have time
to check on my own.

So that you can focus on the state,

all the paperwork for
the children's park relocation

has already been done by me.

Now we just

need your permission
for the denotification--

Let's forget the park for now.
We can get back to it later.

Mr. Nathu Lal, did something happen?

Politics.

High command is involved now.

I'm not superior to them, am I?

What interest would Delhi have
in a park in Bhopal?

This is a state matter.

We had a deal!

That, too, on the amount
you asked for.

You...

don't have an issue
with the amount, right?

Rs. 120 crore is not a small amount.

This isn't about the amount.

Suffice it to say
that the matter...

is now outside of my jurisdiction.

Let's talk after the elections.

Thank you.

And take care of yourself.

What the fuck just happened?

It's for you.

For that day...

forgive me, brother.

Hey, Mangu...

Forget about it.

Think about where
the money's going to come from.

If I talk to the office,

I can get some sort of a discount.

But still--

How much will it be?

Including the tests,
surgery, et cetera,

I would estimate
around Rs. 70,000-80,000.

That much?

Where will I get so much money?

This is all my fault.

Hey, it'll be okay.

I made a huge mistake.

I don't know how I let that Bablu
talk me into this.

Is this how you'll get the money?

Look here.

Don't panic; think calmly,
or you won't get anything done.

If you break down,
who will take care of your family?

Tell me one thing.

Can you get the consent form?

With it,
we can accomplish two things.

Firstly,

we'll get the name of the injection.

Secondly,

we can claim damages
from that company.

Everything was going fine.

For a confidential experiment
like trauma erasure,

we need a separate building.

Near Elisir, but another building.

That park is the perfect place.

The money that I took
from Ashok Vaidya,

I will now give to Chandrakant.

I'll make sure
he becomes the next CM.

He'll get us the park.

He will defeat Nathu Lal.

Nathu Lal will be powerless.

-Hello, Saira.
-Hi, Dr. Shindey.

-Please come.
-Thank you.

A drink?

Uh...

No, I'm good. Thank you.

I didn't think
you would agree to meet.

Maybe because we started off
on the wrong foot.

Dr. Shindey...

everyone's way of working
is different,

and misunderstandings happen.
Especially in the beginning.

I... don't take them personally.

I don't have any issues
with the way you work.

In fact, I think
you're a brilliant surgeon.

Thank you.

I admire your work as well.

Thank you very much.

Even so, you doing this after
everything that's happened

means a lot to me, Saira.

I can call you Saira, right?

Of course.

Saira, I...

I have left Manthan.

I'm sorry...

you have left Manthan?

Even though Gauri agreed
to all my terms.

If she's agreeing to all your terms,

why would you do this?

Gauri is a person who takes
a stand for every decision.

She agreed to all my terms
without any conditions.

There's definitely something
going on in her mind. I...

I just don't want to work with them.

When the notice period is over,

I'm planning to open
my own department of cardiology.

This is really surprising.
I don't know what to say.

-But congratulations, Dr. Shindey.
-Thank you.

You should also congratulate
Dr. Joshi and Dr. Swarup.

And perhaps even Dr. Kumar.

You mean
half the cardiac department?

Okay, I don't know
why you are sharing this with me.

Join me.

Join me, Saira.

Dr. Shindey, I am...

I am so grateful for this offer.

But I never thought that

you would ever choose me.

Neither did I.

I was very hurt when I saw you

manipulate Mrs. Savarkar.

But then, when you opposed Vivek,

then I realised that you always
stand with the patients,

and I was very proud of that.

Without a brilliant surgeon like you,
my team is incomplete.

Think about my offer, Saira. Please.

I will, Dr. Shindey.

Please do.

Grandpa!

Look, Mama isn't listening to me!

I told her I don't want
to go anywhere.

Whether it's Disneyland or Thailand.

I don't want to go anywhere!

Neha, child. Please.

Don't be stubborn.
Mama is already very upset.

Do you want Mama to start crying again?

Neha will get lonely in Thailand.

I'll speak to Aunt Neelu.

Take her with you for a few days.

I'll handle Neha, Papa.

But without Vivek...

thinking about a future
without Vivek...

it terrifies me.

Vivek and I were 18 years old,

and many times...

without telling you

we'd drink alcohol
and go out for a drive.

Vivek knew exactly how much
to drink while driving.

I refuse to believe that the cause
of the accident was alcohol.

What do you think?

That Bilal died in an accident?

That Kanta
was actually electrocuted?

By complicating your life further,
will Vivek come back?

What do the police
have to say about this?

Investigation is on.

Gauri has spoken to
the government hospital.

You will be fully compensated.

Wow, how great is this Gauri!

Getting my compensation approved!

Sending me to Thailand!

Opening my wellness centre!
Securing my life!

Wow!

Other than finding out
who murdered Vivek,

she's doing everything else,
this Gauri Nath!

...you are calling is either
switched off or not reach--

Your mother was in too much pain.

They had to sedate her
so she could sleep.

She kept calling your name
even while unconscious.

The doctor was saying that...

we have to pay half the amount
before the operation.

Huh?

Yes... yes-yes, we'll give it.

Right now, I have Rs. 20,000,
and the rest...

For the remaining,

can you talk to the owner
of the autorickshaw?

He could loan you some money.

Mr. Omair was saying he would
try to sue the company for damages.

We can pay back the loan then.

He won't loan a single penny.

The money I loaned
from him during the lockdown,

I haven't been able to pay it back.

And this Bablu, the motherfucker!

He's the reason all this happened!

I will find him and rip open
his chest, you wait.

Right now, you only need to think
about your Ma's operation.

You have the rest of your life
for revenge and ripping open chests.

Now just think about where
the money will come from.

Who were those people?
Who stole your bike?

From the gambling den, right?

Take me there.

They always have plenty of cash
lying around.

We don't want their money.

They are dangerous people.

Don't even think about it.

It's not my fault, Aunty.

These are the kinds of photographs
that juries give awards to.

Son, I used to get the names
of all her relatives wrong.

You have only called her "Aunty."

I'm sorry.

Shit, uh...

Come on, Mummy, let's eat.

Everything is vegetarian,

except for this tuna
and salmon sushi.

I've made it myself.

He's a very good cook.

Is this non-vegetarian?
But Saira doesn't eat meat.

Shit, this is non-vegetarian.

Thank God.

Which ones are
the vegetarian ones, Neil?

All of these, right here.

Saira doesn't eat meat,
and you can't live without it.

How do you manage?

In my line of work, just getting
food to eat is a big deal.

So, I'm just not a foodie anymore.
But we manage.

No, son, but what you do
is very dangerous.

You're never in the country,
and Saira is never at home.

It's a good thing you're in Bhopal.
How much longer are you here for?

Actually, this time the assignment's
quite interesting.

I have to cover
the gas tragedy victims.

So, I'm here for at least
six to seven months.

Saira mentioned that you both
are thinking about starting a family.

He was overjoyed on hearing it.

Ma, you just say anything
at any time.

No, no. It's okay.

We've just started thinking
about it now.

It's a family matter.
You'll be the first to know.

Right?

Are these the kind of places
you frequent?

The way these people deal
with things is not correct.

I'm still saying we should go back.

Ma'am, can you take us inside?

You asshole! You're back?

Hello there, stud.

My homing pigeon!

Hey, you keep singing.

I knew it.

No matter how high you soar...

you will land right here,
back in my den.

Who is this untrained pigeon
you have captured?

-He's my father.
-Huh?

A ghost!

Stop scaring me.

How are you, Uncle Ghost?

This one dug your grave
while you were still alive.

He told us you died
the day he was born.

We...

need your help.

His mother is in the hospital.

Needs an operation.

If we can't arrange for
Rs. 50,000, then...

Till we repay your debt,
we won't go anywhere.

We'll stay here and do
whatever you ask us to do.

Think before you speak.
This is a twisted place.

You'll piss in your pants.

Even the bravest
shit in their pants over here.

You won't last.

He worked at the morgue,
cutting up corpses.

If he could last there,
he will last here.

We both will.

You're so good at this.

Did you eat?

I know you must be lonely

because Dad is at Anita Aunty's.

Right?

Baby. Baby, please don't do this.

Please, it's not good
for you, child.

As if you care.

As always, you're late again.

In showing that you care.

Why do you hate me so much?

I don't have the time to hate you.

Because you don't even deserve that.

In fact, anything I feel...

love, hate, anything...

Do my feelings even matter to you?

Because your whole world
revolved around Udai.

Oh, God, he was sick!

He needed me!

And I didn't need you?

Not that I'm your son too, right?

You forgot about me
as if I didn't even exist.

But now you want love from me

because I am the one that remains.

-Baby, I love-
-Too late, Mom.

Too late.

These surprises are not funny, Neil.

Hey...

I received confirmation of
the assignment only two hours ago.

I was cooking.

Your parents mentioned it,
so I told them.

After so long, we will live together
properly as husband and wife.

Aren't you excited about it?

Huh?

Are you sure you didn't plan
this whole thing on purpose?

This assignment thing?

You want a child, right?

What's wrong with the fact
that I want a child?

Why do you always get angry at this?

Because you lied to me!

We married for companionship,
not for children. FYI.

If we have a house, a family...

why does that set your dream
of companionship on fire?

The man who's away six months of
the year is talking about family?

I know your patterns
very well, Neil.

It's your new hobby.

At least I don't lie all the time
and keep others in the dark...

like you.

I'm always trying to improve things.

Have I asked you
to improve anything?

Why are you always interfering
in everything?

Whether it's the bed,
or the kitchen, or my parents?

Just leave me alone!

-I don't need this from you!
-So, what the fuck do you need?

Should I just leave?
I'll leave, then.

Because you don't need me at all.

And frankly speaking,
I don't need this shit either.

Great.

As always, you're late again.

In showing that you care.

Why do you hate me so much?

Because your whole world
revolved around Udai.

Because I am the one that remains.

Too late, Mom.

Yeah.

One hour ago, the patient went
into cardiac arrest and...

the patient's tricuspid valve has
completely stopped functioning.

It is being surgically replaced.

We're trying our best.

We will leave no stone unturned,
I promise.

I'll just be back.

Don't let her die.

Doctor...

We're trying our best.

But the infection has spread.

Riya is on ECMO right now.

Maybe we'll need a heart transplant.

We can't say anything definitively.
We'll just have to wait.

This was totally unexpected.

Riya is suffering a complete failure;
her heart is just not responding.

I don't even know
if she'll survive till the morning.

Survival doesn't depend on the heart;
it depends on the brain.

Her brain is functioning,
which means she still has a chance.

I feel terrible for her parents.

Losing a child at such a young age
can shatter your world.

She's...

She's just 17.

Fourteen.

He was just 14.

My baby.

Do you know he had meningitis?

I couldn't do anything about it.

Why do we love so much

when we know we're anyway
going to lose them?

No.

Not my baby!

No!

No, no.

Not him, please...

Not my baby.

Not my Udai, please.
