Mithya (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - Nishaane Pe Sirf Main Thi - full transcript

Your fight was with me.

Neil got caught
in the crossfire.

No, princess.

I adored you.

I don't believe you.

You never did.

I hope you now know how it feels.

Because when you were screaming...

No one believed you.

Not even your beloved Neil.

What would you call this?



Chance?

Fate?

Destiny?

I don't believe in destiny
or chance.

None of this was random.

You were playing all of us.

But your only target
was me.

UNTRUTH

Sorry.

Sorry, Doctor. Hi.

Sorry.

So...

We have all the tests and...

I'm afraid



conceiving naturally
is very difficult in your case.

But there is a solution.

IVF.

It's alright, Juju.

Please don't blame yourself.
We shall try.

I'm sorry for not clarifying earlier.

[Doctor] 'Juhi's results are fine.'

Neil...

It's you.

[car wheels screeching]

[honking]

[horn blaring]

- He was driving rash.
- And you were speeding.

- It's only a 10 minute distance.
- True.

And yet, you were 30 minutes late.

What? Not true?

This is just not important for you.

Lovely. You're accepting this then.

What am I accepting?

That you're not interested
in having this baby.

Or maybe you're not interested in me.

I'm just not man enough.

Just stop the car.

Okay, sorry.

Neil, stop the car.

- Sorry. Juhi, let's talk.
- I said, stop the car.

-[Neil] 'Juhi, please.'
-[cars honking]

[Rhea] 'Hi, ma'am.'

JUHI ADHIKARI ENJOYED HERSELF HERE

[Juhi winces in pain]

[Student 1] 'You can neither study fiction
as history'

nor can you teach history
as fiction.

If the lines between
fact and fiction are blurred

it will be a grave intrusion
into our culture.

Quite an accurate observation,
Meenakshi. Well done.

Rhea Rajguru?

[Juhi] 'Rhea Rajguru.'

I'm talking to you.

[Juhi] 'Please stand up.'

Your essay has a slightly different take
from her's, right?

Yes.

Care to explain the difference?

Meenakshi, could you repeat...

She just read it.

Were you distracted?

I don't need a detailed explanation,
just a couple of lines would do.

No problem.

I'll read it out for you.

So Rhea in her essay
points out that...

Ved Vyas and Kalidas
might not have been historians.

[Juhi] 'But their writing represents
the society of their time.'

And if they are kept out of history

then Abul Fazal should be too.

This is your point of view, right?

Yes.

Have I missed something?

No.

Are you sure?

Yes.

But this essay isn't your's at all.

It's Rita Mathur's.
From the previous batch.

Stay right there.

I have neither asked
nor permitted you to leave.

So, how many of you agree
with Meenakshi's essay?

Keep standing!

So, who agrees
with Meenakshi's essay?

[student 4] Ma'am, may I?

Just how fact and truth are often...

[bell ringing]

Ma'am?

What you just did in class...

It wasn't right.

What did I do, Rhea?

I just did what you do.

I passed off someone else's essay
as yours.

And you even accepted it.

There's still time, Rhea.

Mend your ways.

[dialling tone]

[phone buzzing]

Alright.

Rum? Really?

Listen, sorry. I'm so sorry
for cancelling your date.

But I so needed this.

Juhi, this is the best thing
about dating in Darjeeling.

One doesn't have a million options.

So he's going to wait, for me.

Thank you.

Are you silly? Don't thank me.

Now tell me, what's up?

I don't know. I just...

Maybe Neil is right? Maybe
I'm not excited about this baby.

Juhi.

You're too intelligent for
this guilt complex.

No.

[phone buzzing]

Alright, let's just drink.

- Yeah. Let's just drink.
- Yeah? Let's just drink.

Waiter!

[Neil sighs]

[thunder rumbling]

[pub music playing]

[Sharmishtha] 'Alright.'

Welcome back, my friend.

But what are we celebrating?

Or are you just blowing
your stress away?

Here's to slaying
all the annoying cheaters.

- Rhea Rajguru?
- Yes.

I mean...

My husband is annoying
but he is not a cheater.

Right.

But now I am beginning to wonder
what is more irritating?

Annoying, but not a cheater or...

Cheater, but not annoying,
you know?

- Yeah.
- [notification alert]

Someone's blushing.

[Juhi] 'Who is it? Show me.'

- No.
- Come on. Show me.

Come on.
As long as it's not a dick pic.

- It's not. Juhi.
- Oh... he's cute!

[thunder rumbling]

[knocking on the door]

Juju?

Did you forget your keys again?

[knocking on the door]

Hello.

Is Juhi ma'am home?

No, she's not home.

Oh...

I'm Rhea Rajguru.

Okay.

Is that your bicycle?

Yes.

I think you should come in.

You can leave once the rain stops,
or you will get drenched.

Here.

- Take this and dry yourself.
- Thanks.

I wanted to give Juhi ma'am
my supporting notes so...

Do you want something to drink?
Coffee?

I'll take whatever you're having.

I was just... Coffee will do.

Do I need to check your ID?

I'm an adult. I'm allowed to drink.

Nice collection.

Most of them are Juhi's.

And the vinyls?

Back in the day...

We would hunt for old originals

to gift each other.

You know how it is, right?

New relationships are best
with old sentimental songs.

And who is this cutie?

He's the VIP of our home.

Juhi's darling.

F**k me.

You're having single malt.

Oh! Yes. I mean...

Just left-over from a party.

Juhi should be home any minute now.

Man, you guys are so cool.

[Rhea] 'I love this house.'

This collection. This.

Do you know how lucky you are?

I've so been crushing
on Juhi ma'am.

You too?

Me too.

Since college.

No, but seriously.

These candles and...

Wait, am I interrupting date night?

Well. It is a date.

The weekly load-shedding date.

Now I know why my friend
loves your class.

Really?

She praises you a lot.

What's her name?

Oh no, no.

If I tell you,
she won't be able to face you.

Okay, okay.

Thank her for me.

Will do.

So... the credit for Juhi ma'am's
writing goes to you?

Oh, not at all.

It goes to her dad.

He's a very renowned writer.

I know that,
but that's not what I meant.

You're so supportive,
that's why she can do so much.

Or writers can be very difficult
people to be married to.

Do you want to be a writer too?

Yes.

But Juhi ma'am has aborted my career
before it could even start.

She's accused me of cheating.

Did she tell you?

Of course she did.

I'm not the kind of person
she thinks I am.

By the way, which one is it?
The NCERT or ILEP?

Uh... ILEP. But how do you know
that I've applied for a teaching grant?

Who doesn't?

ILEP is tough,
but I'm sure you'll get it.

And why is that?

Coz ILEP is for cool professors.

The kind who can drink
single malt at home.

And my dad's company
is one of the sponsors.

[Rhea] 'You know, CSR kind of thing?'

So I know what they're
usually looking for.

Bloody hell. S**t.

Bloody hell! F**k. Oh, no.

S**t.

F**k!

I'm so sorry. I always forget
when I leave it on sim.

Are you leaving?

Yes, it has stopped raining
And...

Well, hostel timings...

Of course, yeah.

Sorry about that.

You ate, right?

Hmm, I ate and drank too.

Now that I can drink.

Juju.

Where is Bhaisaab?

He must have gone out.
The weather has cleared up.

- Bhaisaab?
- Juhi.

Bhaisaab?

Juhi, listen,
I'm sorry about this morning.

I...

- Juhi, can we talk?
- Bhaisaab.

Juhi, what I said this morning...

I shouldn't have said it.
I'm sorry.

It's not just today.

You've been saying a lot of things
for a lot of days, Neil.

I know.

As I said, I'm sorry.

It must be the grant
anxiety or something.

Did someone come here?

[Neil] 'What?'

Oh, yeah.

Your student.

Rhea Rajguru.

Uh. She came to drop off
some supporting notes.

Yeah, here they are.
There you go.

She came home?

Yes.

And you gave her a drink?

It was raining and...

[Neil] 'she was drenched.'

'I offered her coffee
but she insisted'

that she wants a malt and...
What?

Where is Bhaisaab?

- Juhi, it's...
- Bhaisaab.

- Juhi.
- [Juhi] 'Bhaisaab.'

- Bhaisaab.
- Juhi.

Bhaisaab!

Juhi, the window was open.
He must have gone out.

- Bhaisaab!
- Just relax, Juhi. Please.

Relax?

I should relax?

That...

That freak comes to my house
behind my back.

She drinks with my husband.
And you want me to relax?

You know...

I just don't have
a good feeling about this.

- Bhaisaab.
- Wait.

- Juhi, please. He must be in the neighbourhood.
- Bhaisaab.

He's usually there.

[Neil] 'Juhi, please.'

Bhaisaab?

Bhaisaab?

Bhaisaab?

He must be here somewhere.

Bhaisaab?

Bhaisaab?

Bhaisaab?

[crickets chirping]

Bhaisaab?

Bhaisaab?

Oh, my God.

Juju, didn't you stop taking these?

And now I've started again.

[water running]

Why didn't we find his collar?

What?

On Bhaisaab's body.

Why wasn't his collar on his body?

It must have come off
during the accident.

[phone ringing]

Hello?

[Anand] 'Dear, I've finished reading it.'

'We can chat. Come over if you wish.'

Papa.

Not today.

[Anand] 'But, Juhi...'

I'm...

I'm not feeling great today.
Maybe tomorrow?

[Anand] 'Alright.'

Bye.

You'll feel better if you go.

I think it's brilliant.

But, who reads Hindi these days?

I think it would really get noticed

only if its English translation
comes out.

Papa.

I've made some notes, dear.

[Anand] 'This section here...'

'Juhi?'

Papa.

Where is that photograph?

Hmm?

My graduation day photo?

It fell down and the frame broke.

I've sent it to get fixed.

Look, the meter is a little off

in this section here.

Check this.

Papa, I'm not feeling too well,
send me voice notes, please?

Are you alright?

Yes.

The worst is death.

And death will have his day.

Shakespeare, Richard II.

[Juhi] 'Rhea.'

What I did in class yesterday,
maybe it was wrong.

It's okay.

We all have our bad days.

Yeah. I'm also having a bad day.

My cat died.

S**t.

I just saw him last night.

Poor Bhaisaab.

That was his name, right?

How are you coping with this?

Can I do something to help?

No, I'm dealing with it.
Thank you.

That's the point, isn't it?
You shouldn't have to deal with it.

Not with all this pregnancy s**t
going on.

H-How do you know about that?

I saw IVF brochures in your house.

So I just assumed.

I've to go. Take care.

- [Student 3] 'Good morning, sir.'
- Good morning.

Good morning.

Hi.

Good morning.

Uh... I'm sorry about your cat.

Ma'am told me.

Thanks.

And yes.

Juhi has taken it pretty hard.

Were you waiting to meet me?

Oh, no, I was just catching up
with a friend.

But now that you're here

can I get two minutes
of yours, Mr. Adhikari?

Yeah, sure. Come on in.

And call me Neil.

[Neil] 'You want some tea?'

So. Tell me.

Juhi ma'am came to me today.

Oh, okay. And?

And I think...

that she thinks I killed your cat.

What?!

Look, I know she's stressed.

And I know everything will be back
to normal tomorrow.

I just think, if she and I can
meet and talk.

You know, coffee or drinks,
some place nice?

Rhea, one thing...

Dialogues have averted wars.

This is just a misunderstanding.

Can you please set this up for us?

Well.

- I can try and talk to her but...
- You will?

That's Cabana, right?

[Neil] 'Yeah.'

It used to be our favourite
hangout.

I know I'm repeating myself but...

you're not like I imagined.

And what did you imagine?

Like all boomers.
Boring as f**k.

Oh.

And I'm not?

No.

You are very, very...

[bell ringing]

...very late for your next class
and so am I.

So, you'll speak to her, right?

Yeah.

[Juhi] 'Sorry about Bhaisaab.'

Dormitory number three,
and room number 12.

- Thanks.
- [Clerk] 'Ma'am, I could have done it for you.'

No, I've to discuss some points
with her. Thanks.

- Namaste...
- Namaste, madam.

[Ronnie] 'Rhea.'

[knocking on door]

Rhea.

There's a courier for you.

I'm leaving it on the desk.

[Neil] 'Why sneak into her room
like a thief?'

She had my photos on her laptop.

She's stalking me,
I'm telling you.

- She's stalking me.
- And I'm telling you...

I'm telling you,
you need to drop this, right now.

And just relax.

Please. For God's sake.

Juju, I'm worried about you.

You've started taking
anti-depressants again.

You're smoking again.

And you haven't even taken a look
at the IVF brochure.

F**k you, Neil.

F**k you.

Juhi.

Juhi, you know what?

I think all of this is because

you don't want to face
your real problems.

Juhi, talk to me.

Please look at me.

You're right.

I don't want to face
my real problems.

I don't want to.

[cameras clicking]

[Ajeet] 'Juhi ji.'

Let me repeat what you said.

There was a party
at your parents' house.

And at around 12:30,
you left the party for the second time

and returned here.

Juhi ji.

Didn't it take you too long
the second time?

[Ajeet] 'I mean...'

Your parents' house
is only ten minutes from here.

[Ajeet] 'At an average
driving speed.'

But it took you 45 minutes.

[Ajeet] 'Almost an hour.'

I'm not saying this.

This CCTV footage says it.

I was driving around

- in a bad mood...
- I'm sorry, Juhi ji.

But you will have to be
a little louder.

I was driving around
in a bad mood.

Why are you questioning me?

Rhea Rajguru has done this. Ask her!

[Juhi] 'She's responsible for all this.'

She's responsible.

Look, Juhi ji...

- It's okay, Juhi ji.
- [Juhi crying]

Get some rest.
We've called your parents.

[Sunanda] '...they are on
their way.'

I wasn't done yet.

Sorry, sir. She was quite distressed.
I thought...

What reason did she give?

For leaving her parents' party
the second time?

She had an argument with her dad.

She was upset.

Right.

It's natural to get upset
after a fight.

And then people usually come
to their spouse, for comfort.

But the question is.

Why was Neil Adhikari
not at that party?

Did she have a fight with him too?

Find out more about their marriage.

And what this Rhea Rajguru
is doing in it.

Yes, sir.
