21 INT.HOSPITAL-LATE NIGHT 21

Day is over,leaving the hospital and notices an ambulance

outside the main gate. Intrigued,first hears a woman
shouting at staff and then notices an injured patient on
stretcher from a distance.

FEMALE STAFF.
(to lady mother,angrily)
Aapki himmat kesi huyi yahan aane
ki.Yeh aadmi kal ka marta aaj mar
jaaye hum kuch farak nhi
padta.Security bahar nikalo
inko..bhaago yahan se.

He approaches the patient slowly,blood dripping from his

head and then looks at his face.To his utter shock, it's
the same guy who leaded the attack on him a month back. He
is stunned and doesn't know how to react. This is the face
which has given him so many nightmares.

The lady is in 50's,short,weak,poor and mother to the

attacker.She recognizes the doctor,falls on his feet and
asks for forgiveness.

LADY
(pleading to Dr.
Prabhakar)
Sorry doctor sahab.Bahut badi galti
ho gayi.Pichle 2 ghante se har
hospital ke chakkar laga rhi
hun,koi admit karne ko tayaar nhi
hain.Bahut khoon beh gaya hain ab

jayega toh kahin ki nahin
bachungi.Please sahab admit kar
lo.Hum mein se koi kuch nhi
bolega.Operation ke baad joh hoga
,upar wale ka faisla samjhke maan
lenge.Please doctor...

Ajay is speechless but there is anger towards the guy who

did this to him.He ignores the lady and goes back into
hospital.

LADY
Sahab..o..sahab!Ruko 1 second. Hum
yahan se chale jaate h ,isse admit

Enters the hospital,walks anxiously back and forth.He is

listening a mother's cry who is begging for his child's
life.

LADY
(shouts)
Aap hi toh ek acche neurosurgeon ho
sheher mein, agar aap madad nhi
karoge toh kaun karega.Kiske paas
jau?Aaj puri raat yahin
baithungi,puri seedhiyan khoon se
bhar jayegi par main nahin
hatungi.Aapke gate ke aage ek
lachar aadmi ki maut hogi.Kese
jeeyoge zindagi bhar ek insaan ki
maut ka bhoj lekar. Kese jee paoge?

AJAY is listening to all of this and he is in a moral

dilemma. Whether to help his attacker who conflicted so
much pain on him or do his duty and save a human being's
life.The choice will decide what kind of a human being he
is ,and if he is really a hero to his daughter.In this
extreme confusion,he looks at his wife's photo and
remembers the line from her diary.

He finally decides,goes to the ambulance,instructs everyone

to admit the patient and starts preparing for the
surgery.Now we see a completely different AJAY PRABHAKAR
who is confident,assertive, clear and duty bound.

PRABHAKAR
(to staff,commands)
Ravi aur Ashu dono stretcher andar
lao.Kapde change karo aur operation
theatre mein le jao.Nehpal saare
legalities kar lo family ke saath.

Staff stands still in shock .They show resistance as he is

the guy who misbehaved with them.

PRABHAKAR
I said TAKE THE PATIENT AND PREPARE
FOR THE SURGERY.

FEMALE STAFF.

(An emotional pause)
"farz aur khudgarzi ke beech mein
hamesa farz chuna chahiye."

Everyone just looks at him with awe and respect.And they

start doing their respective tasks. He shares a comforting
eye contact with his mother like he will take care of
everything.

Goes to his chamber .In slow motion,puts his white

coat,mask on face,glasses etc.Checks his hand and it's not
shaking anymore and finally wears gloves.He walks in the
corridor towards O.T. and everyone is surprised to see him
in the original form.Walks in slow-mo like a hero entering
the battlefield,supported by a heroic music.He is back to
his confident self and it is a triumph.

Enters the O.T.,closes the door and the red bulb turns on.

21A EXT. OPERATION THEATRE-LATER 21A

Dr. Ajay comes out,mother runs to him and hoping that there
is no bad news.Ajay is taking his mask off and
glasses.Looks at the mother in silence and says..

Mother cries tears of happiness and relief.Folds her hand

and says Thank You Doctor!
