Taaza Khabar (2023) s01e05 Episode Script
Baazi
1
Hey Peter, I want to eat a puff.
I want to date Britney Spears.
We don't get everything
we want in life.
Can't you do something?
Should we steal
someone's wallet?
What if we get caught?
Just watch me and learn.
Do you like the puff?
Do you want another?
Here.
Listen.
No more stealing.
Okay?
Do you want to make money?
I need someone to help me
with deliveries at my bakery.
And Raghu needs someone to
keep an eye on the latrine.
The public toilet.
Tell me, who wants to do what?
I will handle the delivery.
Latrine?
What racket are you
running you bastard?
Up until two months ago
you were cleaning toilets
and now you travel in a car
worth crores? Motherfucker.
Enough!
If you want a cut then
why don't you ask nicely?
You think you can bribe me?
You asshole.
You fix matches don't you?
-Don't you?
-Come on, sir.
If I did that, wouldn't
you guys find out?
-Who gave you this tip?
-You are a criminal,
who is sitting in
a police station.
And you're asking us questions?
I will give you double.
And I will even bet
money for you guys.
I have a boon.
I can never get it wrong.
Here.
Forget about small-time
thugs like me, sir.
There is going to be a cocaine
drop at the docks tonight.
You should raid it.
You will get a medal.
They didn't say anything?
So how could they just arrest you?
They got a false tip.
They apologised and let me go.
Who gave them a tip?
Nobody knows about
this other than us.
What is all this?
India is going to win today!
The last five overs are left.
We will win big!
Mehboob, take a seat.
Shazia, open your laptop.
We will be rolling
in the dough today.
India! India!
India! Hey, hurry up
and open it.
India! India!
India! India!
We won't be playing today.
-We will just be watching.
-What?
I have an idea, everyone
put your phones on the table.
-What?
-What?
Do it.
What is wrong with him?
What is this? Vasant?
What?
It's just for safety.
Hey! What the hell!
Have you lost your mind?
This guy is crazy
Hey!
Man, Vasant you said he would
win the match for us.
Vasant?
You said India
would win this match.
At least nobody suffered
any losses today.
Pick up your phones
and have fun.
Rathore sir!
That was an amazing game!
You are a magician!
No, sir.
I just make guesses.
It's all luck.
Fine, keep making guesses then.
Oh yeah, what
about the semi-finals?
I will tell you.
On the day of the match.
Yeah, that's true. Fine.
The cops can't be trusted.
I can't leave mother at home.
What if they try to go there?
You shouldn't be
suspicious of us, Vasya.
These are the
schemes of an outsider.
Once you become Minister
will you stop visiting us?
For Madhu, I will keep coming
here for the rest of my life.
Forget about her.
Why?
Have you fallen in love with me?
Have you?
I don't fall in love.
That bastard has bought the cops.
I need to think of a new
way to fuck him over.
I need to find it.
The cops arrested him
based on accusations?
Of course he got out.
A criminal should be
caught red-handed.
Even I know that.
Don't you?
Mother!
Hey Vasya! Where
did you steal this from?
I rented it.
That's amazing bro!
-Come, join us.
-He probably forgot how to play.
He looks like he just came
out of a washing machine.
Vasu!
Fold.
Where is dad?
He doesn't want to come.
I tried to convince
him but he won't listen.
But don't worry.
I have made food for an entire
week and kept it in the fridge.
He will eat that.
Vasu!
How big is your car?
And it's spotless!
Oh God!
That guy has impeccable luck!
I wanted to bring
you here directly.
But that old man
just wouldn't sell it.
Vasu.
Forget about these
childhood dreams.
These aren't dreams mother.
It's revenge.
For insulting you.
Look mother, this is where
we have been living.
Wow.
Look there. That is your floor.
The one at the top.
That one? Wow! This place is huge!
-Yes, we will take that lift
-Sir, may I take your bag?
No, it's ours. We will
take care of it. Thank you.
-Welcome ma'am.
-Thank you.
These guys steal people's luggage.
-That's ridiculous. No, they don't.
-I swear!
You're being paranoid mother.
Look mother.
This entire floor has been
booked under your son's name.
-The entire floor?
-Yes, the whole thing.
Now, there are people
waiting to welcome you.
Really?
This way.
-Oh!
-They're here.
Welcome! Welcome!
How are you?
How are you Alpa?
-Times have changed.
-Yes, they have!
Look mother.
This is your room.
You can do whatever you want here.
You can eat what you want
and order anything you like.
Tyson will fetch it for you.
Hey! Oh wow!
Vasu
Don't you think this room is
a bit too small?
Yes, it is small.
Now, get some rest.
I will see you later.
Such a small bedsheet?
If I do this
Try this.
-Eat it. It's sweet.
-It looks fine.
But there is scope
for improvement.
I want to seriously expand
my business Shazia.
Do you have any ideas?
You can't expand unless you open
a boutique and advertise it.
How do we do that?
You will need to
open a bank account.
Turn your cash into clean money.
-Insurance--
-Can you do it for me?
It's not easy.
Yes, but I will pay you.
-Really?
-I will.
And let's get a heroine to
do a photoshoot.
It might be difficult, but we can
do it with the right contacts.
It's not that difficult.
Go ahead.
"I don't want to
disappoint anybody"
"So i just wear what I feel
And I feel good"
That's a good one.
Get one with the dupatta.
Did we get this pose?
"I said I should feel
good about myself baby"
Break!
"Most all of the time"
"You know I feel good about myself"
-Thank you.
-Oh madam.
Suhani.
Vasant Gowde.
Vasya.
So, Vasya.
What is your brand about?
Means?
I mean,
what are you trying
to say through your brand?
Just buy it!
Yeah, this is good.
I will be right back.
That's our designer.
Of course.
-Hi Madhu.
-Hello.
So, how long have
you been designing for?
I enjoy doing it.
-So I do it on the side.
-I see.
What are you shooting
these days?
Nothing. I mean
There is some discussion.
About a couple of projects.
But so happy.
To be shooting for you guys.
You don't need to worry.
Destiny can change overnight.
Am I right?
True.
Ma'am ready.
-Let's go.
-Let's go.
Stay here.
"You know I feel good
about myself baby"
"All of the time"
"I said I should feel
good about myself baby"
"Most all of the time"
"I feel good"
What he says always comes true.
Whichever team he bets on.
That team always wins.
That was an amazing game!
You are a magician!
No, sir. I just make guesses.
It's all luck.
Fine, keep making guesses then.
Oh yeah, what
about the semi-finals?
I will tell you.
On the day of the match.
Yeah, that's true.
This is not just a case
about betting.
This case is about match fixing.
Track him.
Keep an eye on him.
The semi-final is our
chance to get him.
There can be no mistakes.
You may leave.
-Yes sir.
-Yes sir.
Stop.
Vardaan special.
Why did you do all this?
We spend all our time
chasing after cricket,
money and the news.
I can never find the time
to sit and chat with you.
I can see that.
How you spend your time
and where you were looking.
How it was searching for
Suhani madam.
What are you implying?
-I saved her life.
-Why?
-Are you God?
-No.
I am Vasant Gowde.
The king of Mumbai!
Wadala's wolf. Thane's tiger.
Chembur's cheetah.
I read about her
on Taaza Khabar.
She is depressed.
She was about to commit suicide.
I gave her money
and kept her busy.
I saved her life.
I thought the photoshoot
was for my shop.
It was for you, my love.
No, you just said that you
saved her life.
-You were the one who said--
-Who is she to you?
-Nothing.
-Are you having an affair?
Are you a big man now?
-Listen to me
-Vasya.
You can only see the future.
You can't change it.
Don't forget that.
I changed her mind.
And I can do whatever I want.
I don't need your permission.
When you didn't have
anyone else, you had me!
I have always stood by you,
so don't give me that excuse!
So? Did you do me a favour?
Didn't I bring all of
you here with me?
I have a fucking boon!
I am a divine blessing!
You and your divine
blessing can go to hell.
Hey Madhu! Go!
Take this with you!
I brought you here to propose.
In the English style.
And you're arguing with me?
Now tell me.
Do you want to fight or
do you want to get married?
Or do you want to fight
after we get married?
I think we should get
married immediately.
Who the hell is calling you
at this time?
Sorry.
Why is he calling you?
Pick up.
Madhu, my love.
Why did you leave me?
Even today, my
car smells like you.
Just say it one more time,
"Shetty sir."
"Oh Shetty sir!"
I have to go now.
Just come see me once.
Sit in my lap.
I will make you the
queen of this city.
That bastard just
calls you the queen.
You are listening
aren't you, asshole?
Tell him.
That I was the one who sent guys
to beat him up and steal the money.
Tell him that
I was the one who
sent the cops after him.
And I won't stop.
You said that he is a bum
who can't hurt me.
Now I will destroy him.
AUSTRALIA WINS THE TOSS,
CHOOSE TO BA
Sorry.
I was suspicious of you guys.
I should have known.
You idiots don't have the
balls to betray me.
Tails.
Australia will win
and choose to bat.
Shazia. One crore.
Australia will win the toss.
Yes. Batting.
Sir, they have started betting.
The toss goes to Australia.
Hey man, hurry up and tell us.
I can't handle all
this suspense.
Just wait Peter.
Let him think first if he
wants to tell us or not.
Let him think first.
What does he need to think about?
He just needs to check
his phone and let us know.
Come on. Just tell me.
Hey! Lower your voice!
Just do what I tell you to do!
Forget about winning and losing.
Move!
Is that how you talk to someone?
We are all on the
same team Vasant.
Exactly! Explain that to him!
He should listen to his captain
like a good team member.
Put two crores on the captain.
He is going to get 50 runs.
Two crores. The Australian
captain will score 50 runs.
What is wrong with you?
And with that wicket
Australia's inning ends
at merely 115 runs.
What is going on, Vasya?
Rathore sir!
Yes, don't worry.
You can put all your
money on Australia.
They will definitely win. Trust me.
Yeah.
Yes, don't worry. You can
put all your money on Australia.
They will definitely win. Trust me.
Three crores. Vardaan.
The spinner will get a hat-trick
in the next over. Six crores.
What?
Six crores under Vardaan's name.
Sir, he has placed all his
bets on Australia.
It looks like it's fixed.
It looks like the phone
is messing with his mind.
It's the final over.
It doesn't look like
Australia could win.
Have I ever been wrong?
No, you're never wrong.
The factory fire that burned your
father wasn't your fault either.
Put another six
crores on Australia.
Do it. Go ahead.
Six crores on Australia.
Vardaan.
This is the end for Australia in
the World Cricket Tournament.
New Zealand gives a
shocking defeat to the
strongest contender
in the tournament.
You were showing off,
now what about this loss?
Vasant?
-Forget it.
-Namaste sir.
Motherfucker!
You deceived me?
-What's wrong?
-You said Australia would win!
That's what I thought.
You thought?
I lost all my money asshole!
I told you what I thought.
All I do is make guesses.
Make guesses? Bastard!
I will have to arrest you now.
Go ahead, sir.
I even have a
recording of this call.
You clearly admit that you
are betting on this call.
Are you blackmailing the police?
No sir.
I am blackmailing a criminal.
You bet a lot of money
and you lost.
How is that my fault?
Do I look like a fixer
or a fortune teller?
Yes, next time you should
ask a fixer.
You will definitely win!
Can I tell you something else, sir?
You shouldn't do betting.
It's a crime.
Hey Peter, I want to eat a puff.
I want to date Britney Spears.
We don't get everything
we want in life.

You shouldn't do betting.
It's a crime.
