Selection Day (2018–…): Season 0, Episode 0 - Episode 4 - full transcript
When I chose this school,
I told you everything
about what we went through.
You promised me that you
would take care of him.
This is unforgivable, and I assure you
- the culprit will be found and punished.
- Look at him.
He can't be bullied like this.
Javed,
d'you have any ideas about
why this could have happened?
These new kids, ma'am,
from the village,
they're very aggressive.
- You take too many of these type.
- They're obsessed with cricket.
I think they see me as a threat.
Bullying is the scourge of our times.
It is cowardly.
It breeds ugly people.
It poisons society.
And what's more important,
it runs counter to everything
that we hold dear here at Weinberg.
I will not shame the victim any further
by going into details, nor
will I give the coward his satisfaction.
Suffice it to say
that a cricket bat has been defaced.
Be assured that the
culprit will be found
and my punishment will be severe.
But, you do have a chance
to redeem yourself,
to show some courage
by owning up.
So, come on, raise your hand.
This is your last chance
to earn some self-respect.
I did it, ma'am.
Just for the record,
I do not believe you.
- It was me only, ma'am.
- Why?
What has Javed done to you?
I don't like him.
He's... very arrogant.
Manju.
You realize I have to punish you.
Yes, ma'am.
No cricket for a week.
That's not a punishment, ma'am.
Oh, yes, it is.
And,
until further notice, you
will stay back in school
after hours and, uh,
clean the science lab.
It's very dirty.
I would happily do that, ma'am.
I can stay in the lab
as long as you want.
Well then, consider yourself punished.
Manju.
You've been a very naughty boy.
Yes, ma'am. Thank you, ma'am.
Hello. Hi, Gulshan Model
Agency, how can I help you?
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Anand Mehta for Gulshan.
- Please come.
Thanks so much for meeting
me on such short notice.
He-he, chill, bro.
Anything for Bini's friend.
That's great. So, how do
you and Bini know each other?
Long story.
Boring and filthy in equal parts.
He said that you needed 8 million USD.
for a property venture.
Hmm.
Wanna tell me where?
Yeah, sure, once you
give me the money, I will.
I like your style, huh.
But,
you are asking me to trust you
with 8 million of my cash, hm?
My father is the president
of a mining corporation,
I have a 4,000 square
foot Bandra apartment,
my collateral is solid.
And so is this deal. So...
But here you are.
We're men of today's world.
We can't be held back by
the way things ought to be in tradition.
- Right? We gotta see an opportunity,
- Mm.
- we gotta grab it.
- Yeah.
- Right?
- Yeah.
You have had your problems.
That, uh, salmon farm,
is never going to work out, by the way.
I hate to break it to you,
some of your other
investments are plain dumb.
Yeah, yeah, but, this
is a zero risk deal.
I could flip the land for double.
You are a high-risk bet.
I like you.
And if things go wrong, you
have your collateral, hm?
So, why not?
- All right! Right, great.
- Yeah? Yeah.
Yeah.
It's yours... at 22%... hm?
17.
22. Take it or leave it.
You have a balancing scale
and two weights of 10 and 40g.
Can you divide 1kg of
flour into two piles
of 200g and 800g by
balancing the scale 3 times?
Hey, chicken boy!
I should say thanks to you.
For the cock on my bat.
It was old anyway.
But thanks to you, Dad got me a new one.
Much better than the last one actually.
- Ooh, wow! Great! Super!
- Great job, Javed!
Hey, Manju, ball!
Come on boys, come on. Let's do this!
Done?
Yeah.
First, balance the kilo
evenly between two pans,
second, put one pile aside
and split the remaining 500
to create two piles of 250g.
Boring. Come on, Manju.
Let's talk about something interesting.
Like time dilation.
Can I ask you something
about my mother, please?
I just want to know
if she's okay or not.
My dear friend, you seem
a little confused about our
rules of engagement.
And I'm not a genie who's
popped out of a bottle.
Yes, my lord. No, my lord.
Forget it, my lord.
I come to meet you
only because I want to.
Reason: because more than most
of my followers, I find you
a lot more interesting, my friend.
The others keep constantly begging
for this and that.
I thought maybe you'd be
different, but you're not.
but you had said that
you would help me out.
Weird, and here I was thinking
that you're going to help me...
to understand black hole event horizons.
But you're busy measuring flour,
and just asking questions about
your mother and nothing else.
I'm only 15.
At least give me one chance.
Manju, what was the need for you
to be a smart-arse over there, huh?
I don't need your protection. I can
deal with that bastard by myself.
Mum isn't here, that doesn't
mean you can do what you want.
I did it because I
wanted to take a stand.
- Are you mad or what?
- What's your problem, huh?
Actually, you should be the
happiest person right now.
You got whatever you
wanted, didn't you, Manju?
Mum could have called
us at least once, right?
She did.
Papa said he spoke to her.
And you believed him?
Didn't you see what happened
before we came to Mumbai?
I didn't see anything.
He beat Mum really bad.
He... dragged her and
threw her out of the house.
And now she has gone to her
village, to her aunt's house,
like how she always does.
She will come back
once everything is okay.
What if she's not okay this time?
- And what if he's lying to us?
- Manju, come on!
Why do you have to bring up
all this bullshit right now?
For the first time things
are working out for us.
I'm really scared, Radha.
- I feel like Ma is not...
- Manju, stop. I have heard enough.
Please don't put all this
bullshit in my head, okay?
Look here comes our hero.
He just doesn't give up.
I have something to show you.
Right here, at the click of a button,
there would be $10
million in your account.
Am I supposed to be impressed?
Look, I know you don't like me.
- That's just fine, all right.
- No, no, no, no. It's nothing like that.
I just don't know you well
enough yet, thank God.
I've been looking at
the numbers and, uh,
looks like you've been
running at a loss
- for quite some time.
- Hey! Hey, look out!
Ah!
God damn it!
Look, your student numbers are down,
infrastructure is creaking,
your competition has
better facilities, result
and reputation than you have.
Pretty soon, everything you
and Max built, all of this,
is just gonna go bust.
And you think I don't know about this?
What are you gonna do about this?
Mr Mehta, you've done a lot of research,
but, you have missed
the essential point.
- What's the essential point?
- You get an A for effort,
but a D for interpretation.
Go back and do your homework.
Good morning, Madam Weinberg.
Seems I'm very popular today.
You'll have to excuse me.
- Hello. Hello.
- Hello. Hello.
Madam! This, uh...
Tommy Sir, when did you meet him?
Tommy Sir and my husband,
Max, go a long way back.
Okay, so, madam, you must be
aware about his scandal then?
I do know about the lies that
were spread to ruin his reputation.
But he's corrupt, madam.
- He took a bribe and ruined Shenoy's career, and...
- Stop!
Mr Kumar, please.
I cannot listen to you
slandering my close friends.
Tommy Sir's an extremely
- honourable man, understand?
- Stump him! Stump him!
Howzat?!
- Saw that, madam! See what happens when...
- Ooh!
when he doesn't open with Manju?
This is what happens with him.
- Yeah! Come on!
- Come on boys, very good.
And now Manju is not going to bat?
- What is going on? What is this man doing?
- Manju is not playing this match.
He's being punished.
He drew a penis on somebody's bat.
Mr Kumar, this...
- Hey! What the hell is going on here?!
- Uh...
Hey, you?! What are you doing?!
- What the hell are you you up to, mister?!
- Mr Kumar?
- I'll come inside and talk to you.
- First you stop their batting,
then you took them to have an ice cream!
- Now you change the batting order also?!
- Look, look, mister, now you have trained your boys
really well, okay, but
I'm not their enemy, am I?
- Please trust me on this.
- That's exactly what I did
when I left both of
them to train with you,
and you are hell-bent
on ruining their career.
- What are you saying, Mr Kumar?
- Papa,
- Sir hasn't done anything.
- Don't be stupid! He's thrown all the discipline out!
Do you know what he did? Do you know?
Papa, it's okay. Nothing has changed.
And on a woman's order, you threw
- your star batsman out of the team?!
- No.
- Bastard!
- Sir! Sir, sir, sir!
You are a disgrace! You're a
bloody disgrace to coaching!
All right?
Go back in.
- Come on, let's go.
- Let's go!
Back on the field, come
on. Quick everybody.
Manju.
Go back.
Manju?
Oops.
Sorry.
Arsehole.
What's your problem, huh?
I'm guess I'm just bored with myself.
Or maybe I'm trying to get attention.
But what's your story, Manju?
I just want to be left alone.
Not gonna happen.
Well, enough about you.
Let's talk about me, okay?
Your favourite subject?
Now, that's more like it, Manju Kumar.
I always knew there
was a spark in there.
Okay, what do you see
when you look at me?
Beyond the good looks
and natural charisma.
What do you see?
Look at me, Manju, don't be shy.
Tell me what you see.
What do you see?
Just spit it out.
Nothing at all.
You are a liar.
Manju, go and call
for help! Go get help!
- Javed, stop! Are you mad?!
- Manju, go!
Is anyone there?!
Please, somebody help up!
Javed?!
Javed?!
Javed?!
When do you think I can get this report?
I'll let you know once it's ready.
I didn't want to be helped.
What if something happened?
Like what?
Where do you live?
Sewri.
Let's go.
