Human (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - Till Death Do Us Apart - full transcript

My name used to be Pinky Jatav.

A simple girl
living an ordinary life.

I went out of Bhopal
for the first time on a school trip.

Maybe that's why I survived.

And because of that one day,

that ordinary girl became special
in everyone's eyes.

God had chosen me.

No one even realised
when that gas

wrapped itself around
Bhopal's throat.

My father, my entire family.

I was orphaned.



Overnight.

And...

everything was over.

From a Union Carbide factory...

a poisonous gas leaked out.

It is estimated that more than
15,000 people lost their lives.

And many others battle...

I didn't shed a single tear.

I found out, for the first time,
how terrifying being alone can be.

But the tears didn't come.

Grief is a strange thing.

Sometimes it makes you cry,

and sometimes it makes you
hard as stone.

I stood before a pile of corpses



where finding my family
was impossible.

And then I saw my father's hands.

I prayed to God. I needed a miracle.

And right then, suddenly...

I felt a hand on my shoulder.

I didn't even know who he was.

But I knew I would
never let go of that hand.

Three generations from
the same family.

They are still dealing
with genetic disorders,

or with age, physical deformities.

The reason?

Gas tragedy.

Even after 37 years.

It's not just them.

There are other families like this.

To document all this,
I'll need to capture their photos.

Would they be okay
being photographed?

Absolutely. You can take
as many photos as you like.

You'll just have to pay them.

But my agency doesn't give me funds
for these things.

You've already seen
the condition of these people.

Normally, these people
don't get jobs.

But everybody has to eat.

These people participate
in drug trials.

Following animals,
drugs are tested directly on them.

Let's do one thing.

Tell your agency,

if they want to make an exhibition
out of these people's desperation

and win international awards,

then the least they have
to do is pay up.

When is Fatima going to America?

-September.
-Oh, nice.

-New York, right?
-Yeah.

She's a bright young girl.

Yes, but she didn't
get a scholarship.

So what if she didn't?
I'm here, Mr. Salman.

You're very helpful, Ashok.

Like me.

I know that...

destroying old files
in the DIGC and...

allowing the trial to go
from Phase 0 to Phase 2

wasn't easy for you.

Especially as the head
of the organisation.

Fatima is my only daughter.

She's a little too demanding

because she knows that her demands

are extremely important to me.

Absolutely.

Is this your pop's hotel?

Think you can come and go
whenever you want?

Hey, asshole! When are you
going to get to work?

If the utensils aren't sparkling,

the next time it'll be
on your face. Understand?

Did you like the gift?

Rs. 120 crore?

Who wouldn't like such a gift?

But I wish I was
your first choice.

If you weren't my first choice,

would I be spending more time
with you than I do with Pratap?

I'm not your first choice.

I'm not talking about Pratap.

It seems Nathu Lal is
your first choice these days.

And I am stunned at how anyone
can make you dance to their tune.

Do you know, Gauri?

I like your brain
more than I like you.

There is so much going on under
your nose, and you have no idea.

I... don't understand.

Nathu Lal has already negotiated
a deal for the sale of the park.

But not with you.

Fidel Group

is building the city's
biggest heart institute

where the park stands.

And who is heading it?

The great Snehal Shindey!

I have to go.

-Yes, Mr. Pramod.
-Gauri.

Riya Sareen passed away.

Gauri?

Hello?

Gauri?

Organise a press conference
right now.

And no one in Manthan should know.

Press conference?

But why?

You've been here
for two days, Saira.

You won't take my calls
or reply to my messages.

-Why are you running--
-I am not running.

You have no idea how stressed
I am about the hospital.

A high-profile patient died,
and Gauri needs me.

Oh, yeah, Gauri again.

Saira...

Other than your home and your family,
everyone is important to you.

Neil, why are you behaving
like a teenager?

What do you want?

That I glue myself to you
and sit at home all day?

I thought I married a mature man.

We got married so we could be free.

And when have I stopped
your freedom?

Are we saying we should
live separately after marriage?

Is that maturity?

I'm not here to stay.

I just wanted a break.

Saira, I've come back
after six months.

I still haven't
seen your face properly.

How many breaks do you need?

Is everything okay?

Yeah, everything is fine.

I'm in my room.

-If you guys need me, okay?
-Sure, thanks.

What did you tell Shalini?

Whatever there was to tell.

She also thought it was quite weird
that you suddenly wanted a child.

Obviously, she thinks it's weird;
she's a lesbian.

Did you just say that?

Lesbians don't have kids?

I didn't mean that.

Anyway. I'm not here to discuss
LGBTQ rights with you.

Saira.

I guess this is
not working out, Saira.

You're right, Neil.
It's clearly not working out.

I'm already late. I'm sorry.

When will you come home?

I also have a million things to do.

I'm not just sitting around idly,
waiting for you.

What the fuck are you doing, Saira?

He loves you,
and you don't even love him.

-I do love him.
-You're lying.

What are you looking at?

You already know
that telling lies is your habit.

Hey, easy there.

Why are you laughing so much?

Roma Ma!

What are you doing?

Dr. Sabharwal!

Hi, Raghav.

Dr. Nath has called you
to the media room. Right now.

Media room? What happened?

Riya's death isn't just
the loss of her parents,

but also the biggest loss
of my career.

We share in this grief
with the Sareens.

Cause of death?

LTGA. Levo-Transposition
of Great Arteries.

This is a birth defect.

With age, it brings in more complications.

The fatality rate is very high.

We...

We tried everything.

Dr. Nath, can you vouch
for the fact that

there was no negligence
on the hospital's part?

In light of this situation,

Dr. Saira Sabharwal will be
the interim head of Cardiology.

Starting with immediate effect.

And Dr. Shindey?

Dr. Saira Sabharwal will take over.

Dr. Sabharwal.

You're given this responsibility
at a critical time.

Will you be able to handle it?

You always return from there
looking so harassed.

What is it that they make you do?

You just recover and get back home.

That's it.

Papa, where's brother?

He was just behind me.

Where did he go?

Aunt Sulochna, I am very sorry
that you were informed

at the last minute,

but this is an emergency meeting.

We have decided to reject
Dr. Shindey's notice period

and, in fact, fire him instead.

With immediate effect.

And if he isn't a part of Manthan,

then, obviously,
he won't be on its board.

This...

has been decided
by all the board members.

We have Avinash from legal with us
and also Nidhi from HR.

Bullshit.

Snehal, mind your language.

Please try to show some respect.

I'll show you some respect in court.

All of you.

Dr. Sabharwal, congratulations
from all of us.

Ethics Committee is very happy
with your promotion.

-Congrats.
-Congratulations.

Thank you, thank you, everyone.

Dr. Shindey, according to
your agreement and the board rules,

if you are fired because
of negligence,

then you will not have any claim
on Manthan's shares.

The severance pay given to you
at the time of your exit

will also be halved.

And all the benefits you received
from Manthan,

like flights, hotels
and credit cards, will be stopped.

You will also need to vacate
your office immediately.

By which I mean today.

Any questions, Dr. Shindey?

What happened with Riya
was very unfortunate.

But blaming any one person for that,
is it right? Like...

This will bring his reputation
down to zero.

Now joining another hospital
is out of the question,

I don't even think he'll be
able to practise anymore.

-Everyone, shall we?
-Oh, yes.

Yeah.

-Oh, yes.
-Let's start.

We've been through
so much together, no?

What was Manthan, Pratap?

A two-room dispensary.

The person who worked with Gauri
to get Manthan to this stage,

now you want to crush
his reputation so publicly?

S93R or Saviour.

A new drug for heart disease.

Manthan has received a proposal
to conduct Phase 2 testing.

All the details are in your folder.

The Phase 0 and Phase 1 reports
are quite promising.

Very few side effects
and zero casualties.

But I still don't understand
one thing.

Dr. Shekhawat was fired
two weeks before his death.

Why was he removed?

What does Dr. Shekhawat's dismissal

have to do with
the drug's efficiency?

You just said the reports
are promising.

If you still have doubts, you can
call the DRO Aspire office and ask.

They're the ones doing
the trial for Vayu Pharma.

Exactly.

Anyway, I approve.

-Me too.
-Me too.

Me too.

Do you know my son Rohit still thinks
of Abhay as a younger brother?

Because when Udai passed away,

we thought that we had
lost someone of our own.

Abhay needed a big brother and
Rohit was always there for him.

Malti and I barely differentiated
between Rohit and Udai.

You know all this, Pratap.

Or have you forgotten it
for your own benefit?

Udai's death broke you.

Enough!

Don't you dare get Udai
in the middle of this!

This meeting is over.

Two more very important clauses,
Dr. Shindey.

As well as being a doctor, you were
also a member of the board.

So, any confidential information
belonging to Manthan

will have to be kept
confidential by you.

Number two.

Non-compete. For the next year,

you cannot be associated with
any hospital in any capacity.

Don't tell me what's in
my agreement, Avinash.

And I'm not going to go out quietly.

You really think you can
fuck me over like this?

She's scared of me now.

She knows she's nothing without me

because, even after working
with me for 25 years,

she still does not have the courage
to look me in the eyes and say,

"Snehal, you're fired."

You're given this responsibility
at a critical time.

Will you be able to handle it?

The kingdom of Bhopal was ruled
by the most formidable women.

And so will Manthan.

Good boy!

Go get it, Oscar!

Alex, here! No, here! Good boy!

These four love you a lot.

This is one thing you have
in common with your mom.

-The dogs?
-No.

The pursuit of excellence.

Abhay, you're so bloody intelligent.

Why don't you want to do something
with your life?

What do you want?

Manthan needs you.

We need you.

Become a board member.

Support your mom and me.

I'm giving you a chance
to do something big.

I spoke to Rohit.

He said Uncle Snehal
was quite pissed off.

That's it? Anything else?

He said, "Your Mom is a bitch."

And what exactly
did you say to that?

Nothing?

If Udai would've been there,
he would've broken his face--

But Udai wasn't there, Dad.

Now it's just me.

Tell me this.
What have you done for me so far?

Exactly.

And this is what you and Mom
have in common.

May I?

Of course.

Abhay isn't listening.

As expected.

But there should be someone
trustworthy on the board.

Why do we need someone else?

The two of us are there.

For an organisation
as big as Manthan,

there needs to be at least
five members on the board.

That is the law.

Law...

are just words on a piece of paper.

Just put somebody else's name in.
How does it matter?

This reckless abandon
of yours really suits you.

And your wisdom suits you.

Till death do us apart.

Till death do us apart.

Maybe you should try
changing your methods.

Give him a hug.

Show him some love

once in a while.

To give love, you must have love.

After Udai left...

Love left me
a long time ago, sweetheart.

How's Anita?

You look gorgeous.

Chandrakant is a lucky man.

But I feel sorry that

he has never seen you getting ready.

You look the most beautiful then.

I'm meeting Saira.

She likes you.

Keep her close.

I know.

You will say yes to Saviour, Saira.

Quiet! Keep quiet.

I won't hurt you if you keep quiet.

-Quiet!
-Roma Ma is calling you downstairs.

Speak! Speak!

I'll be right there!

In fi-five minutes!

Because of you,
my entire family is destroyed.

Now, listen.

My mom's name is Kamla Devi Mahto.

I need her report and photos
of all the forms.

The doctor wants to know
what injection you gave her.

If I don't get this information,

then my mom will die.

My number is written inside
that cupboard.

Please-please don't rape me!

What?

Stay inside the water till I leave.

You don't have any clothes on.

PLEASE FORGIVE ME.
PLEASE HELP ME, MANGU.

My poverty, my station,

knowing all of this,
Dr. Abhimanyu Nath,

my father, brought me home.

And he gave me his name.

But there's a difference
between changing a life

and improving it.

I had arrived
at this palatial house,

but, other than Dad, the Nath family

did not consider me
a part of the family.

Dad's father, Dr. Yudhistir Nath,

wasn't just a doctor to
Bhopal's people; he was a messiah.

But only I knew his truth.

He was disgusted by poor people.

And his daughter, Sulochna,
was just like her dad.

Dad understood all this.

He changed my name from
Pinky to that of a goddess',

but the pain never stopped.

The toughest part is
losing someone you love.

Death is brutal.

It snatches away those
that are closest to you.

And then,

slowly their memories
also start disappearing.

Just an emptiness remains,

which we fill
with our trauma and pain.

I can't imagine, but...

losing Udai
would've just killed you.

Let's go have a drink.

Yeah, sure.

-Cheers.
-Cheers.

In front of the Ethics Committee,

you're the only one
who didn't approve Saviour.

It is never easy
to take a stand alone.

And you've taken a stand
for Vivek's patients.

Now for Saviour.

And I really admire that about you.

Somehow I'm just not convinced.

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

I'll set up a meeting with
DRO Aspire's Sagarika

and Vayu Pharma's
Ashok Vaidya for you.

They'll clear all your doubts.

And despite that if you have
strong reasons to say no,

then...

The final decision for Saviour
will be yours.

I will not let any drug
come into Manthan

that puts my patients' lives
at risk.

I know how important
every single patient is to you.

I know you that much at least.

Where do you want to be dropped?

Where to today?

Home.

Arera Hills.

My husband is back. Neil.

Why don't you all
come over for dinner?

Neil and you.
Just the four of us.

Pratap, me and the two of you.

I would... I would like that.

I would really like that.
Thank you.

Any successful marriage

has no room for secrecy.

I think that's why
our marriage is so strong.

That's lovely.

Our case is a little different.

I...

Neil is having an affair.

Pratap is having an affair.

Sometimes I think...

we have so much in common.

Holy fuck!

Neil!

-Neil, where did this package come--
-Listen, listen.

Whatever happened,
I'm trying to forget about it.

I hope you are doing the same.

Listen, where did this package
come from?

Are you okay, Saira?

I'm okay. Who left this package--

I don't know, man!
I don't know.

The bell rang, I opened the door,
it was lying outside.

What happened at
the leper colony was not right.

I'll speak to Dr. Ross.

Till then, proceed as usual.

My child...

Are you okay?

I'm missing him a lot today.

Gauri.

Shall I come?

Hmm.

Why do you stare at me
with those accusing eyes?

I know why.

Despite being such
an accomplished doctor,

I couldn't save the one person
I loved the most.

The person who was my life.

Despite being a top neurosurgeon,

all I did was watch while my son
slowly got ravaged by brain disease.

I couldn't do anything.

Nothing. I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry, baby.

I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry!

I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry!

Okay, that's it.

That's it.

I don't want to remember
anything about you.

I will forget everything about you.

To forget you,

I will go to any lengths.

I will forget you

even if it means I have
to destroy everyone.

I will forget you.

Everything.

Your brown eyes.

Your dishevelled hair.

Your crooked teeth.

Your huge smile.

I will forget everything.

Even the way you called me "Mama."

I was just so powerless.
I'm so sorry!

I'm so sorry!
