Poison (2019–…): Season 2, Episode 1 - Dead Man Racing - full transcript

Sara, Harsh and Oscar, of the JOSH team are taken aback when Aditya, a jockey and the team owner, takes them head on in a race that has their millions at stake. Who is Aditya Singhania and what is he doing in Goa.

'The fire of vengeance can blind you.'

'When a lion is blinded, '

'wolves come out to hunt him.'

'1 billion in cash!
- What do we have to do?'

'Where is he?'

'You sold off his 1-billion-rupee house, '

'and now, you're making merry here!'

'Are you crazy?'

'I know that you murdered that barrister.'

'And you have one billion rupees.'

'For that, we need to kill someone.'



'We'll plant his dead body
in Ranveer's house.'

'As soon as Ranveer gets there, '

'we'll record a video of him.'

'Now, I want all of that money.
Give me one billion by tomorrow.'

'Pawan!'

'I know that you like me.
- I love you.'

'I love you too, Pawan.'

'Sign these papers.'

'The electricity meter is too old.
We need a replacement.'

'Where one story ended, another begins.'

'Mumbai in the news again.'

'With the biggest diamond robbery
of the nation.'

'Another tragedy in Mumbai,
the city of mishaps!'

'Saurabh Khanna, along
with his son, Jaiveer Khanna, '



'planned to steal the diamonds.'

'Jaiveer Khanna is the prime accused along
with his father in the diamond robbery.'

'The murder took place when
a famous diamond dealer from France, '

'Charles Coman came to India
for a diamond deal.'

'But the company he was dealing with...'

'Saurabh Khanna, who was working for
the company, knew about the diamonds.'

'Saurabh Khanna, along with
his son, Jaiveer Khanna...'

'Planned to steal the diamonds.'

'They also killed the French
businessman, Charles Coman, '

'in this unfortunate event.'

'Jaiveer Khanna and his father have
been accused of theft and murder'

'in Royal Chariot.'

'At the time, a waiter witnessed
Jaiveer Khanna killing the victim.'

'The case is in court now.'

'The court will give a verdict against'

'Saurabh Khanna and Jaiveer Khanna
very soon.'

The path that we are on,

there is no U-turn from here.

Think it over.

When you start thinking a lot,

it affects your decision.

Then shall we get down to take a leak?

"There is evil in every eye these days."

"Be careful with every stride
you take in this game."

"There's no one you can call your own."

"Don't put your faith in anyone.
You will regret it."

"I don't know why my existence
is so pointless."

"I want to know where I went wrong."

"I keep crying and stay confused."

"How to bear this pain,
no one has ever taught me."

"Who to trust and who poses a threat?"

"I was betrayed
by those I called friends."

"I have no valid reason to live."

"Each day of life feels like
a slow poison."

"The ones you embrace
might stab you in the back."

"Sweet words often carry a poison."

"You can never be sure about anyone."

"Every heart here carries a poison."

'Hello, everyone!'

'Welcome to this exciting race
of Derby 2020.'

'It's said that today's race
is very special.'

'Whoever will be a part of this race'

'will go down in history.'

'The jockey who would win this race
would be remembered forever.'

'On the other hand, '

'Team Josh, which is winning
this derby for the last five years, '

'must be feeling very confident about
their jockey and their horse, Rio.'

'The owners of Team Josh
are Harshvardhan Oberoi, '

'Oscar Mathews'

'and Mrs Sara Oberoi.'

So, we'll win this time as well.

Absolutely. - But...

How did all this happen?

'The crowd is brimming with excitement'

'to find out which jockey
is going to win this time.'

'Who can challenge Rio?'

'You must be tired of riding the horse.'

'So, I thought I should
make you feel relaxed.'

'What do you want?'

'You and your horse should
be out of the race.'

'So, tell me.
How much money will you take?'

'You can't buy everything...'

'With money.'

'Your value is worth more than money.'

'And you will get it'

'right here.'

'But this time, to challenge Team Josh, '

'some new jockeys have joined the race.'

'They will try their very best
to defeat Rio in this race.'

'There is one more name in the race.'

'It's going to be important
for this race.'

'And that is Mr Pawan, the owner
of Urban Nights and Bolt.'

'Be ready.'

'So, buckle up, guys.'

'The race is about to start.'

'That is the signal,
and the horses are off the mark.'

'Dark Eye and Spyder have
taken the lead.'

'Bolt is in third place.
Rio is in fourth place.'

'So, the horses that are leading...'

Come on.
- 'They are Drapper, Bolt'

'Rio and Dark Eye.'

'Drapper is gaining momentum.'

'On the other hand, Team Josh's Rio
is also moving in faster.'

'Rio is running at full pace.'

'The fans of Team Josh must
have a smile on their face.'

'We can see that'

'everyone is trying hard
to make their horses win.'

'And look at that...'
- Come on, Bolt.

'Bolt has taken a good lead.'

'Bolt has left everyone behind
and has overtaken Rio. '

'Will Pawan's Bolt leave
Team Josh's Rio behind?'

'Rio is trying to increase his speed.'

'He is trying to get ahead of Bolt.'

'The audience must be thinking
as to who will win the race.'

Oh no!
- 'Rio has again left Bolt behind.'

'Rio is running faster than air.'

'Again, Rio has overtaken Bolt.'

'This is just what everyone
had expected.'

'Rio is in the lead again.'

'It's not easy to defeat
Team Josh's Rio.'

'Rio has proven it once more.'

'But the race is not over yet.'

'No one's a winner
until the race is over.'

'Bolt will once again get
a chance to prove himself.'

'Because it's believed
that until the race is over, '

'one shouldn't lose hope.'

'Rio has left everyone behind.'

'The new jockeys are also
trying to outrun Rio.'

'What's this?'

'All of a sudden,
Number 7 is gaining momentum'

'and overtaking everyone.'

'He is trying to catch up with Rio.'
- Hold on.

'His speed is increasing.'
- Who is Number 7?

'Drapper is also trying
to take the lead.'

'But Number 7 is increasing
his speed, and has left'

'Diamond and Panther behind.'

The name of the jockey is Aditya.

No prior experience. No hype.

So, according to the sources,

this will be the first
and last race of his life.

'Heartbeats are racing...'

How can you be so sure?

He was sold from our stable.

Who knows about Firestorm better than us?

Then something terrible will
happen to that poor guy.

'Rio is speeding up.'

'But Number 7 is also
increasing his speed.'

'He has left everyone behind
and caught up with Rio.'

'He has caught up with Rio.'

'I think Firestorm will rewrite history.'

'The winning line is very close.'

'Firestorm's speed is increasing.'

'Firestorm is very close to Rio.'

'He has increased his speed
and has left Rio behind.'

'Rio is trying to gain momentum.'

'But Firestorm is running
way faster than Rio.'

'The winning line is very close.'

'Firestorm might win and create history.'

'Everyone is watching with anticipation.'

'He has left everyone behind.'

'Firestorm has crossed the winning line.'

'We were talking about history.'

'But Firestorm has actually
managed to rewrite it.'

What the fuck!

How can the weakest horse win the race?

'Turned the tables around!'

'Team Josh has suffered a huge loss.'

We mistook the owner for the jockey.

'It's indeed a great victory
for Firestorm.'

Mr Aditya Singh Rathore.

The owner of Firestorm.

Racing is not my hobby but a passion.

And winning is my habit.

Whether it's the derby race
or the race of life.

So, let's buckle up, guys!

Tough luck in the race today.

Try your luck with me as well.

'And here's your cheque
of Rs 2.5 million.

'I race for passion, not for money.'

How is he still alive?

Who?

Aditya.

'Well, that was the winner of
the day, Mr Aditya Singh Rathore.'

'And today's scoreboard
looks something like this.'

Pawan!

What is he doing there? Bastard!

One race...

We lost just one race.

And that too, in five fucking years.

We incurred so much loss.

Everything is finished in one day.

Answer me, Anirudh.

Where is our money going?

I'm sorry, ma'am.

You know the condition of real estate.

The market is down.

And because of the online vacation home,

our resort business is down.

Well, we could support our business

because we are winning the derby
race for the last five years.

Unfortunately, this time...

We lost the race yesterday.

But there have been many withdrawals
in the last three months.

Where did that money go?

Ma'am, I'll have to look into it.

In the last three months,
who withdrew money and how much...

I want all the details
on my table tomorrow.

Am I clear? - Yes, ma'am.

Relax, babe.

I get worried when you are upset.

Harsh, the 99-year lease of the racecourse
will be auctioned very soon.

And if we get that racecourse,

we can control all the betting
and the races happening there.

Ma'am, someone sent this for you.

'To my beautiful rival Sara Oberoi.'

'The happiness of the victory
is doubled when it's celebrated.'

'And I want you to be
a part of this celebration'

'and add grace to it.'

'I will wait for you.
Love, Aditya Singh Rathore.'

It's the invitation to Aditya's party.

But why has he invited us?

He doesn't even know us.

Maybe he wants to know us.

So, what do you think?
Should we attend the party?

Our rival has extended
the hand of friendship.

Let's see

if he is celebrating his victory
or our loss.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
And thank you for coming.

I had already thought of this.

This victory and this celebration.

But honestly, this is an illusion.

What's true can't be seen.

And what's seen might not be true.

Let me pinch myself.

So, this is true.

And before any illusion
breaks this reality,

let's enjoy the party, guys. Cheers!

Victor.

Didn't we shoot him?

Yes, we had shot him.

Who shot him?

Was it me or...

Was it you?

You had shot him!

Are you sure? - Yeah.

Congrats on your victory, Mr Rathore.

Thank you.

Victory is like a mask.

It might be on someone
else's face tomorrow.

I'll be right back.

Sure.

Who knows

if we could see your real face even then?

Oh!

That means you liked my speech.

How do you know that?

In my party, right before me,

you were standing with your husband,
but you didn't react.

It's very clear.

You are stopping yourself.

I might not have liked your speech.

You didn't react to my gift either.

But you liked it.

I have started knowing you,

Sara.

You don't know anything, Aditya.

Okay.

Well, it's fine
if you can't give the credit.

But you can give your time.

Accept my friendship.

We deal in business.

Not friendship.

That's strange.

I know your habit

very well.

Anyway,

my offer is still open.

If you change your mind,

you know where to find me.

'Sir, the minister is here.'
- Okay.

Enjoy the party, guys. Excuse me.

"There is evil in every eye these days."

"Be careful with every stride
you take in this game."

"The ones you embrace
might stab you in the back."

"Sweet words often carry a poison."

Morning.

What are you thinking?

I'm still wondering.

How does Aditya have such good contacts?

I think you have become his fan. Right?

Oh! Jealous? - Jealous!

Of Aditya?

Never.

You are mine. And you... You love me.

The entire Goa knows it.

Yes. I love you.

And I love that racecourse also.

I want it at any cost, Harsh.

Don't worry, darling.

We'll get that racecourse.

By hook or by crook.

You cheated your sister!

What are you saying, Sara?

These are incorrect entries.

Oscar has made multiple transactions
in the last three months,

and transferred Rs 500 million
to three accounts in London.

What nonsense are you talking?

Sara, he is lying. Trust me.

Really?

Can I? - Of course, Sara.

Sara, since childhood,
we have done everything together.

Even that...

Sara, I am your brother.

That's why I'm not filing
a police complaint.

Anyway...

Return that money and fuck off.

Hey! How will I return it
when I haven't taken it?

I can't believe it.

Here. Check my bank account.

Sara... Sara, I don't know
about any of this.

Rs 200 million.

Rs 180 million. Rs 120 million

has been credited into your account.

From three different accounts.

Trust me, Sara.
I don't know anything about this.

It's not about money.

It's about my dream.

Because of what you did,
I am not in a position

to fight the racecourse auction.

Sara, I haven't done anything.
Why don't you understand?

You know what, Oscar?

Just leave.

Bastard! You did all this, didn't you?

I'll kill you today.
- Oscar, just stop it.

Listen to me carefully
and put this in your head.

I will take Rs 500 million
from you at any cost.

But for what you did today, Oscar...

There is no place for you
in this house and the company.

Just leave the house.

Harsh, listen...
- I said, just leave the house.

Get out.

Start the legal procedure
to oust Oscar from Josh.

Firestorm.

Oh, I'm sorry.

It's said, whether it's a horse or a man,

if they are crippled,

they won't be of any use to anyone.

They are thrown out.

Just leave.

Mind your business.

Whoa!

That's what I'm doing.

Save this anger for the right place.

We are screwed because of Oscar.

We'll have to change everything now.

All the paperwork, all the passwords...

The bank details and everything.

Out of everybody...

Oscar did this.

I can't believe this.

We are fucked now, Harsh.

We don't have money for the auction.

Aditya?

May I know why you are here, uninvited?

I'm here to propose Sara.

The fuck, you... - Relax.

I don't beg for what I want.

I just make it my own.

For the time being,
I have a business proposal.

I'm listening.

I know you have your eyes
on the racecourse.

But I will be winning the auction
of the racecourse.

Are you here to tell us about your plan

or to rub salt into our wound?

To join hands with you.

It's a proposal of 50-50 partnership
in the racecourse.

Think about it.

Only seven days are left.

But why us?

You have everything.

Money. Connections.

Power. Popularity.

Why do you need us?

Mostly, black money will be used
to buy the racecourse.

And I need a reputed company
with a clean profile for that.

And there's no one better than
Josh Group of Companies in Goa.

But our company's name and your money...

How will you do it?

For that, you will have
to meet my partner tomorrow.

Fine. We'll see you there.

Not you. Just Sara.

You can't bear winning or losing.

That's why I can't take
any risk with my project.

Anyway, Sara,

you have time until tomorrow morning.

Have a great day.

Good morning, handsome man.

Morning.

Thanks, Pawan.

Don't make me feel like a stranger
by saying thanks.

Well, that accountant of yours
is really audacious!

He has directly messed with the boss.

I didn't understand that catch.

Why did Anirudh do that?

Anyway, can I see your laptop?

Of course.

I'll hack his number first.

9871114538.

Anirudh Sharma.

Here it goes.

Did you find anything?

Thanks.

This was Anirudh's location before
I was asked to leave the house.

It's neither his house nor office.

So, whose house is it?

Aditya Singh Rathore.

Hina!

Adi.

So good to see you. - Thank you.

And congratulations.

I heard you won the race and hearts
at the racecourse.

Winning is my habit. You know that.

Sara, this is Hina, my close friend
and business partner.

And the prettiest girl in town.
- Liar!

It's a sin to lie to beautiful faces.

And Hina, this is Sara.

Hi! Sara.

Hi!

I have just finished the meeting
with a team,

and they are ready to go ahead
with the partnership on our terms.

And guess what?
They have the perfect profile.

Just what we wanted.

Don't worry, Sara.

I trust Adi.

And Adi trusts you.

That racecourse will be yours.

I'm sorry, Hina.

Trust is earned in business.

It's not conveyed.

How am I to believe
whether this deal will fail or not?

As soon as you leave from here,

Rs 300 million will be transferred
into your bank account.

What else do you need?
We will earn your trust.

The Home Minister is the government
appointee in the racecourse board.

He will help us win the auction.

You just have to transfer this
Rs 300 million to his party fund.

That's about it.

I'm still confused as to why
you are partnering with Team Josh

all of a sudden.

Frankly, Sara, you are not in
the position to ask this question.

But anyway, to let you know,

investors like us don't look for
hard workers but smart workers.

And you are one of them.

Fan alert.

Fine. I am in.

But I have a condition.

First, you had questions.
Now, a condition.

Ugh, you ladies!

The partnership for the racecourse
will be only with me.

My husband, Harsh,
who is a partner in Josh,

he won't be a part of this deal.

I am a businesswoman.

I just care about my money and profits.

I don't really care about
your personal life.

Who are these guys standing with Aditya?

If you wanted,
you'd have directly killed me.

So, tell me. What do you want?

Smart boy!

Come on.

Sara, you didn't tell me
about the meeting.

It was fine.
But Aditya's partner, Hina...

I...

I'm not sure about her.

Why? Did she say anything?

Nothing in particular.

But there is something
that is bothering me.

I know what Oscar did to us...

He betrayed us.

You are very hurt about that.

You know what, Harsh?

I still doubt whether Oscar
can do something like that.

I hope there is no misunderstanding.

I think

we should talk to Anirudh again.

Where are you going?

To meet Anirudh.

Anirudh.

You helped me a lot.

But the thing is, the three of them

are corrupt by nature.

They will get to you any time.

And if they get to you,
they will get to me.

But I want

my plan to remain a secret

until they meet their death.

I'm sorry, Anirudh.

You had started this game, Team Josh.

I'll be the one to finish it.
