Human (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 7 - A Lick Of Fire - full transcript
Ma, I want to forget everything.
Everything.
That girl thought she had
stepped out of the darkness.
Ahead of her, she could see
the light at the end of the tunnel.
But fate...
Her father was ravaged
by that same affliction
for which he was treating the poor.
In the final throes of death,
the girl's father yearned
for his daughter's love.
But the hatred
she received from his family
had robbed the girl
of her innocence.
She left her father
in his tortured state.
The girl was ashamed of herself.
She was always made to feel
poor and insignificant.
The girl was not alone.
The girl got the Nath family name,
but, for the Nath family,
the girl was trash
picked up from the street.
Along with herself,
everyone from the community
she was born into
started to appear poor
and lowly to her.
But how can one erase
one's own shadow?
So that the girl would not
forget her place,
she was sentenced to live
with the servants of the house.
Gauri's pain
found refuge with
one of the maids of the house.
They believed that,
by holding each other's hands,
they could wade through
every sea of difficulties.
Do you remember?
A little bit.
You will forget everything.
Gradually.
Saira got this pen drive yesterday.
This pen drive has
incorrect information.
Incorrect information?
This information
is not about Saviour.
Instead of Saviour, these patients
were given the wrong drug.
Vivek...
included some people in the drug
trial without their knowledge.
I personally recommended
Vivek's name to Aspire
for the post of
Principal Investigator.
I made a mistake by
trusting my son-in-law.
The promise of money
from Skol Pharma
affected Vivek's ability
to think it through,
and he sold out.
Skol Pharma?
What do they have to do with this?
They've been Vayu Pharma's
rival company for many years.
You must be knowing about this.
At their behest, Vivek
took Saviour's subjects
and put them on
this fake drug trial.
Skol told him the patients would
start showing serious symptoms,
leading to the failure of
Saviour's Phase 1 drug trial.
Mr. Ahuja, do you think
we'd really believe your story?
My son-in-law is dead.
And I'm still telling you all this.
Vivek took Skol Pharma's money
to test a fake drug
without their consent.
He was a murderer, Mr. Ahuja, and
you're saying he didn't realise this?
You knew about such a serious crime
and you kept quiet?
When I came to know,
two more deaths had occurred.
Skol Pharma refused to take
any responsibility.
Then...
Aspire fired him
on the grounds of incompetency.
And then...
he started getting death threats.
Skol had turned into his enemy.
And then he finally told me
about all this
when there was no way
I could've helped him.
But you could've reported it.
Why didn't you do that?
Because of Sucheta and Neha.
She doesn't even know
if it was an accident
or a murder.
And I don't even want to know.
But I want to know everything
because he killed innocent people.
And you knew all about it.
Mr. Pramod, I need
your resignation today.
Roma Ma?
Sorry I disturbed you.
I wanted to ask you something.
Do we need to go to
the leper colony?
I mean, after everything
that happened...
Those who help should not be afraid.
Can't we go back to the camps?
I liked to work there.
With our help,
those people are now healed.
The camps don't exist anymore.
Now we need to go to those
who need us.
Patients in the camp
never got upset.
We gave them injections,
pills to take...
They wouldn't say anything, right?
Roma Ma?
What kind of injection was that?
Those who help
should not be asking questions.
I've told her some story
about Skol Pharma.
And I think she believes me.
Gauri,
there is someone
who is betraying you.
This Saira needs to be put
on a leash.
She could prove to be dangerous.
Hmm.
I know how to get her
under control.
-Is everything okay, Ranu?
-Yes.
You didn't even eat
the apple this morning.
Why?
I'm not feeling well.
Oh, why didn't you say
something earlier? Roma Ma--
Please!
Don't tell her anything.
I don't know
what's going on with me.
This has never happened before.
Whenever I eat anything,
I mean, it feels weird.
What about you?
Don't you feel anything?
Don't you feel like it changes us?
Roma Ma's love is the only thing
that's changing us.
We're becoming better.
Then why were we laughing
when we didn't want to laugh?
We were laughing at the lepers.
That's why we're wearing this.
Don't you think so?
What kind of love is this?
I know that
you understand what I'm saying.
And I don't want to stay here.
My uncle lives in this city.
He has a horrible temper.
But I can manage that.
I don't want to stay here anymore.
I just want to leave.
Ranu...
Yes?
Focus on your work.
There's always competition
between companies, but...
Skol is a hyena.
It snatches from others and eats.
It's not a coincidence
that you got the pen drive after
news of you becoming HOD got out.
This,
unfortunately, is the dark side
of our medical world.
The drug report that was submitted
to the Ethics Committee
is the correct composition
of Saviour.
What's in this pen drive
is a fake drug.
This is Saviour's real composition.
It was used in France
for a cancer drug trial.
It failed.
But Mohan Vaidya thought,
if it could be tweaked a little,
then it could be a saviour
to heart patients.
A miracle drug.
But the idea that an Indian drug
could be successful in the market
is not acceptable to Skol.
If Skol is really doing this,
I won't let it happen.
I will crosscheck
all the reports myself.
Innocent lives are at stake.
I can't afford to...
Where is your medication?
You didn't throw them away, did you?
What are you talking about?
Why would I throw it away?
Stupid girl.
Maybe you forgot.
That tends to happen with age.
Roma Ma!
That old man threw
his medication away.
Ma! I'm really scared. I don't know
what they'll do to us this time.
He spoke to me with such anger!
Ma, listen to me.
I know the medication he is on.
-Should I get it myself?
-No, absolutely not.
I'll send the guard.
Ma...
Don't you trust me?
-Go.
-Yeah?
I'll be back.
Is everything okay?
The situation
at the hospital is not good.
Just like our situation.
Thank you.
Tea for you?
-Do you have some green tea?
-Yes, ma'am.
One green tea, one black coffee
and some cakes.
Thanks.
I don't want to beat
around the bush, Saira.
I'm sorry.
I don't know why I started
insisting on having a baby.
I felt weird about it
when I gave it some thought later.
Because...
there was clarity about this
when we got married.
Look, Saira,
it is important that we both agree
on everything.
Let's just forget
about the baby, okay?
And, Saira, I... I really love you.
I really do.
I know I'll sound
like a teenager,
but, when you get hurt,
I get hurt too.
Are you sure this time?
-Your tea, ma'am.
-Thank you.
Sir.
No one will come between us, Saira.
It'll be just us.
Gauri's invited us to dinner.
Please look presentable.
It's Gauri Nath,
and it's very important to me.
And remember...
no one will come between us.
Sorry.
And this part had rotted badly.
Don't worry.
Everything will be okay.
A lot of money was spent
on my operation.
My husband had to take a loan.
That too from extremely
dangerous people.
All because of
the injection you gave!
None of this is her fault.
She was just doing her job.
It's all my fault.
I need to go now.
Sorry.
One minute!
Wait, please.
I really didn't know.
-Because of me, your mother--
-No.
I'm the reason
for my family's downfall.
And...
that day, with you too...
Sorry.
-Sorry--
-Thank you.
I was terrified that day.
If you wanted...
You're the first guy
who saw me like that,
without my clothes on,
and didn't do anything.
I didn't even look at you that day!
I know.
I will help you.
Can you get that form for me
on which they made my parents sign?
Madam! I'm waiting!
Mangu...
I don't have any cash to pay him.
I got it, no worries.
If not the form,
you can take a picture of it
and send it to me.
I don't have a phone.
Okay, no problem.
Take this phone for now.
At that intersection,
tomorrow...
where your van stops every day?
I'll wait there for you.
Okay.
Thank you.
What you did for me today...
Or I would've thought
you sent the pen drive to Saira.
We've had a long association, Gauri.
Good luck.
Neha and Sucheta
must have settled in Thailand?
I'll transfer more funds
to your account.
Manthan always takes care
of its family.
Thank you, Gauri.
Thank you.
I cannot begin to tell you
how much I appreciate it.
Thank you.
I wonder who sent
the pen drive to Saira.
One second.
Hmm?
Mansi said Riya's parents
have filed a complaint.
The case has gone to
the State Medical Council.
You always know everything,
don't you?
In the complaint,
Riya's parents have stated
that Dr. Shindey was responsible
for the misdiagnosis
and then negligence.
Juice?
Sure.
Thank you.
I thought about your offer.
Manthan's board member?
Very interesting.
But I'm not interested.
Cool down, Mom.
I'm not here to fight.
I'm really not interested
in Manthan.
But I knew that
my refusal would offend you both.
So, I'm here to help.
What exactly does that mean?
I spoke to Rohit again.
Snehal Uncle's reputation
is getting fucked.
So, now the Chief Minister wants
Dr. Swarup to head
the new heart institute.
He wants a top doctor
from Madhya Pradesh
to head that institute.
And Dr. Swarup is
the next best choice.
So, if you can stop Dr. Swarup
from leaving Manthan,
you can win this!
Why did Rohit tell you all this?
He called you a bitch.
I said, "Yes, that is true."
I had to gain his trust, Mom.
He told me everything.
But after I got the information
I needed from Rohit,
I told him
that if he says anything
about my Mom ever again,
I'll break his face.
The water supply in this slum
passes through the Carbide factory.
The water is toxic even today.
Thank you.
Hello. I'm Neil.
-And you?
-Say your name.
Anshul.
Anshul.
Can I take your picture?
Yes.
Even today, around 10 lakh people
are affected by the gas tragedy.
Here, look at this.
Since when is he like this?
Since he was born.
So, haven't you taken him
to the hospital?
Yes.
Doctors looked at him
and gave him a vaccine.
What is the point of a vaccine
after contracting the disease?
Hello?
After this, I'll take you to
one more place. A new story for you.
This is...
for you.
Look at this.
Our work is done.
Aspire.
Drug Research Organisation.
It's a private company.
They do drug trials.
So, Mr. Omair, when will
we get the compensation?
Look, my dad and I want to get
out of the gambling den. Please!
Not so fast.
No one listens to
the voice of one man.
We'll meet these 20 people
and make our case stronger.
Then let's see how it doesn't
become a national issue.
I'll bring in the media on this.
First of all, let's file an RTI.
Let's get all the information.
I told you, right?
That you'd find a new story.
Look at this.
Yes, Meena, tell me.
Ma!
Ma!
Ma!
This girl stopped eating.
Ranu.
These girls think they can
survive after getting out of here.
But they don't know that
they will live here
and die here.
Even today the sight of fire
paralyses Ranu with fear.
And so,
this time, I showed her the fire.
It was necessary to remind her
that the fire she came here
to escape
would never stop following her.
She wrapped herself around me.
My love pulled her back to me.
And now, she asks for
her food and eats it.
If the experiment fails on any girl,
then the girl is of no use to us.
Let's always have a plan
for a backup girl.
And there's no dearth of
traumatised girls in this world.
We go looking for one,
we'll find five.
He's here.
There he is.
Sorry, sorry.
I'm sorry.
That's all right.
Thank you.
It's good to meet you finally, Neil.
Same here; thank you.
What would you like to drink?
Some wine, maybe?
-Red?
-Yeah.
Wine, please.
-Hey.
-Welcome.
Sorry, we sat down before you.
The wives were hungry.
Oh, that's perfectly fine.
To the wives?
Yeah. To the wives.
To us.
Thank you.
Please.
It looks lovely.
I'm sorry. I came directly
from work.
Actually, it was a hectic day,
so I didn't get the time to
go home and freshen up.
-Everything okay?
-Yeah, yeah.
Everything's fine.
Yeah...
These...
pharma companies
and their drug trials.
Doing whatever they want
with poor people,
with no one to answer to.
No information is given
about the drugs,
and they go straight to the trials.
Exploitation at
a different level altogether.
Thank you.
You know, Saira, I met
this family today.
Thanks to a trial,
the mother's body
had deteriorated completely.
And when the family members
went for help to the trial camp,
do you know what happened?
The camp had vanished.
-Really?
-Yeah, just imagine.
In fact, I'm dealing with
similar issues these days.
Really?
You should be so proud
of yourself, Neil.
What you do...
it's very crucial
to document all this.
The world has to know the truth.
You know, I just love
how you encourage people.
Meeting the family
was a coincidence.
Actually, I...
went to photograph the gas tragedy
victims who are on drug trials.
Aren't you also...
a gas tragedy victim?
Neil.
I'm sorry.
You don't have to be.
-Sorry.
-It's okay.
I'm very proud of where I come from.
But I don't
see myself as a gas tragedy victim.
I just
see myself as a survivor.
Wow.
I wish the stories of
all the victims were like yours.
No, really. I mean,
I can't even imagine
how you must have dealt
with that trauma.
That too at such a young age.
You're a real fighter, Gauri.
No wonder you've been named
after a goddess.
Just thank you.
I don't just call anyone
to my house for dinner.
By approving the Saviour drug trial,
you did absolutely the right thing.
I've contacted the Food and Drug
Association in the US.
They will send me
all the information.
Good.
I'm still not fully confident.
I just hope we're right
about this drug.
You and...
You and Neil...
Does he know
that you know about his affair?
No.
And what about Mr. Munjal?
We have an equal marriage, so...
he knows about my lover.
This is a 14 Monte Cristo
Limited Edition.
I import it from Cuba directly.
I love this cigar.
But I do understand
it's an acquired taste.
Are you okay?
Cigars don't suit me, actually.
I smoke something else.
Ah.
You should meet my son.
He smokes... What do you call it?
-Bud.
-Ah!
But you know what he should try?
He should try Afghani hash.
-Really?
-Yeah.
My son always tells me
apparently the best place
to get high
is our terrace.
Really?
I don't know why. Something about
being under the stars
and the cosmos and the universe.
He gets very metaphorical.
Do I know this person?
You don't know?
No, I... don't.
You should check out our terrace.
It's a beautiful terrace.
It's a lovely terrace.
Yeah, yeah! You should;
you definitely should.
Okay.
-All right.
-Go ahead.
You still don't know?
Everything.
That girl thought she had
stepped out of the darkness.
Ahead of her, she could see
the light at the end of the tunnel.
But fate...
Her father was ravaged
by that same affliction

Can't we go back to the camps?
I liked to work there.
With our help,

The camps don't exist anymore.
Now we need to go to those
who need us.
Patients in the camp
never got upset.
We gave them injections,
pills to take...
They wouldn't say anything, right?
Roma Ma?
What kind of injection was that?
Those who help
should not be asking questions.
I've told her some story
about Skol Pharma.
And I think she believes me.
Gauri,
there is someone
who is betraying you.
This Saira needs to be put
on a leash.
She could prove to be dangerous.
Hmm.
I know how to get her
under control.
-Is everything okay, Ranu?
-Yes.
You didn't even eat
the apple this morning.
Why?
I'm not feeling well.
Oh, why didn't you say
something earlier? Roma Ma--
Please!
Don't tell her anything.
I don't know
what's going on with me.
This has never happened before.
Whenever I eat anything,
I mean, it feels weird.
What about you?
Don't you feel anything?
Don't you feel like it changes us?
Roma Ma's love is the only thing
that's changing us.
We're becoming better.
Then why were we laughing
when we didn't want to laugh?
We were laughing at the lepers.
That's why we're wearing this.
Don't you think so?
What kind of love is this?
I know that
you understand what I'm saying.
And I don't want to stay here.
My uncle lives in this city.
He has a horrible temper.
But I can manage that.
I don't want to stay here anymore.
I just want to leave.
Ranu...
Yes?
Focus on your work.
There's always competition
between companies, but...
Skol is a hyena.
It snatches from others and eats.

I'll be back.
Is everything okay?
The situation
at the hospital is not good.
Just like our situation.
Thank you.
Tea for you?
-Do you have some green tea?
-Yes, ma'am.
One green tea, one black coffee
and some cakes.
Thanks.
I don't want to beat
around the bush, Saira.
I'm sorry.
I don't know why I started
insisting on having a baby.

Because...

Look, Saira,
it is important that we both agree

Let's just forget

And, Saira, I... I really love you.
I really do.
I know I'll sound

I get hurt too.
Are you sure this time?
-Your tea, ma'am.
-Thank you.
Sir.
No one will come between us, Saira.
It'll be just us.
Gauri's invited us to dinner.
Please look presentable.
It's Gauri Nath,
and it's very important to me.
And remember...
no one will come between us.
Sorry.
And this part had rotted badly.
Don't worry.
Everything will be okay.
A lot of money was spent

None of this is her fault.

It's all my fault.
I need to go now.
Sorry.
One minute!
Wait, please.
I really didn't know.
-Because of me, your mother--
-No.
I'm the reason
for my family's downfall.
And...
that day, with you too...
Sorry.
-Sorry--
-Thank you.

What you did for me today...
Or I would've thought

We've had a long association, Gauri.
Good luck.
Neha and Sucheta
must have settled in Thailand?
I'll transfer more funds
to your account.
Manthan always takes care
of its family.
Thank you, Gauri.
Thank you.
I cannot begin to tell you
how much I appreciate it.
Thank you.
I wonder who sent
the pen drive to Saira.
One second.

Very interesting.
But I'm not interested.
Cool down, Mom.
I'm not here to fight.
I'm really not interested

But I knew that
my refusal would offend you both.
So, I'm here to help.
What exactly does that mean?

But after I got the information
I needed from Rohit,
I told him
that if he says anything
about my Mom ever again,
I'll break his face.
The water supply in this slum
passes through the Carbide factory.
The water is toxic even today.
Thank you.
Hello. I'm Neil.
-And you?
-Say your name.
Anshul.
Anshul.
Can I take your picture?
Yes.
Even today, around 10 lakh people
are affected by the gas tragedy.
Here, look at this.
Since when is he like this?
Since he was born.
So, haven't you taken him
to the hospital?
Yes.
Doctors looked at him
and gave him a vaccine.
What is the point of a vaccine
after contracting the disease?
Hello?
After this, I'll take you to
one more place. A new story for you.
This is...
for you.
Look at this.
Our work is done.
Aspire.
Drug Research Organisation.
It's a private company.
They do drug trials.
So, Mr. Omair, when will
we get the compensation?
Look, my dad and I want to get
out of the gambling den. Please!
Not so fast.
No one listens to
the voice of one man.
We'll meet these 20 people
and make our case stronger.
Then let's see how it doesn't
become a national issue.
I'll bring in the media on this.
First of all, let's file an RTI.
Let's get all the information.
I told you, right?
That you'd find a new story.
Look at this.
Yes, Meena, tell me.
Ma!
Ma!
Ma!
This girl stopped eating.
Ranu.
These girls think they can
survive after getting out of here.
But they don't know that
they will live here
and die here.
Even today the sight of fire
paralyses Ranu with fear.
And so,
this time, I showed her the fire.
It was necessary to remind her
that the fire she came here
to escape
would never stop following her.
She wrapped herself around me.
My love pulled her back to me.
And now, she asks for
her food and eats it.
If the experiment fails on any girl,
then the girl is of no use to us.
Let's always have a plan
for a backup girl.
And there's no dearth of
traumatised girls in this world.
We go looking for one,
we'll find five.
He's here.
There he is.
Sorry, sorry.
I'm sorry.
That's all right.
Thank you.
It's good to meet you finally, Neil.
Same here; thank you.
What would you like to drink?
Some wine, maybe?
-Red?
-Yeah.
Wine, please.
-Hey.
-Welcome.
Sorry, we sat down before you.
The wives were hungry.
Oh, that's perfectly fine.
To the wives?
Yeah. To the wives.
To us.
Thank you.
Please.
It looks lovely.
I'm sorry. I came directly
from work.
Actually, it was a hectic day,
so I didn't get the time to
go home and freshen up.
-Everything okay?
-Yeah, yeah.
Everything's fine.
Yeah...
These...
pharma companies
and their drug trials.
Doing whatever they want
with poor people,
with no one to answer to.
No information is given
about the drugs,
and they go straight to the trials.
Exploitation at
a different level altogether.
Thank you.
You know, Saira, I met
this family today.
Thanks to a trial,
the mother's body
had deteriorated completely.
And when the family members
went for help to the trial camp,
do you know what happened?
The camp had vanished.
-Really?
-Yeah, just imagine.
In fact, I'm dealing with
similar issues these days.
Really?
You should be so proud
of yourself, Neil.
What you do...
it's very crucial
to document all this.
The world has to know the truth.
You know, I just love
how you encourage people.
Meeting the family
was a coincidence.
Actually, I...
went to photograph the gas tragedy
victims who are on drug trials.
Aren't you also...
a gas tragedy victim?
Neil.
I'm sorry.
You don't have to be.
-Sorry.
-It's okay.
I'm very proud of where I come from.
But I don't
see myself as a gas tragedy victim.
I just
see myself as a survivor.
Wow.
I wish the stories of
all the victims were like yours.
No, really. I mean,
I can't even imagine
how you must have dealt
with that trauma.
That too at such a young age.
You're a real fighter, Gauri.
No wonder you've been named
after a goddess.
Just thank you.
I don't just call anyone
to my house for dinner.
By approving the Saviour drug trial,
you did absolutely the right thing.
I've contacted the Food and Drug
Association in the US.
They will send me
all the information.
Good.
I'm still not fully confident.
I just hope we're right
about this drug.
You and...
You and Neil...
Does he know
that you know about his affair?
No.
And what about Mr. Munjal?
We have an equal marriage, so...
he knows about my lover.
This is a 14 Monte Cristo
Limited Edition.
I import it from Cuba directly.
I love this cigar.
But I do understand
it's an acquired taste.
Are you okay?
Cigars don't suit me, actually.
I smoke something else.
Ah.
You should meet my son.
He smokes... What do you call it?
-Bud.
-Ah!
But you know what he should try?
He should try Afghani hash.
-Really?
-Yeah.
My son always tells me
apparently the best place
to get high
is our terrace.
Really?
I don't know why. Something about
being under the stars
and the cosmos and the universe.
He gets very metaphorical.
Do I know this person?
You don't know?
No, I... don't.
You should check out our terrace.
It's a beautiful terrace.
It's a lovely terrace.
Yeah, yeah! You should;
you definitely should.
Okay.
-All right.
-Go ahead.
You still don't know?
