Episode 2.
The sound of polished shoes
Echoes down a long marble corridor
Someone
(walks at the centre)
Aadarsh Bedi (ml p.a)
(walks behind him)
Aadarsh Bedi (ml p.a)
Tsar… Old Master has called again.
Someone
(calmly, without looking back)
Someone
I’m headed to the mansion.
Aadarsh Bedi (ml p.a)
(about to speak again, hesitant)
Someone
I’ll drive myself.
Aadarsh Bedi (ml p.a)
(with a slight bow)
Aadarsh Bedi (ml p.a)
Then I’ll take my leave, sir.
Someone
(takes the keys, strides off)
A sleek black car pulls up to the gates
The security team immediately moves
Four men surround the vehicle
Bodyguard
(bowing slightly)
Someone
(hands the keys to a guard)
Someone
Don’t scratch the left rim. ❄️
Bodyguard
(steps closer, leans in)
Bodyguard
Old Master isn’t taking his tablets again.
Someone
(walks through the grand doors of the mansion)
Someone
(enters inside the room)
Someone
You called. So I came.
Someone
You actually came?
Someone
(takes a seat across the old man)
Someone
How could I not, Nanu?
Someone
After all the drama at the mansion....
Someone
My presence was obviously... long awaited.
Someone
(narrowing his eyes)
Someone
Are you mocking me?
Someone
Who in the world would believe that Viktor Romanov....
Someone
The fearsome Russian Mafia King....
Someone
Refuses to take his tablets?
Viktor Romanov (ml nanu)
Leonard Romanov. ❄️
Someone
Nanu... how many times do I have to tell you?
Someone
Call me by my real name.
Kabir Rathore/Leonard Romanov (ml)
Kabir.
Viktor Romanov (ml nanu)
Yeah, yeah....
Viktor Romanov (ml nanu)
How wonderful it feels to call my own grandson... my own blood...
Viktor Romanov (ml nanu)
By a name that belongs to another family.
Kabir Rathore/Leonard Romanov (ml)
Nanu... I am your grandson.
Kabir Rathore/Leonard Romanov (ml)
But—
Viktor Romanov (ml nanu)
Shut up, Leo.
Viktor Romanov (ml nanu)
Don’t try to lecture me.
Kabir Rathore/Leonard Romanov (ml)
(chuckles)
Kabir Rathore/Leonard Romanov (ml)
(reaches to his pocket)
Kabir Rathore/Leonard Romanov (ml)
(pulls out a pack of cigarettes)
Kabir Rathore/Leonard Romanov (ml)
(slides one across the table to Viktor)
Kabir Rathore/Leonard Romanov (ml)
Have one.
Viktor Romanov (ml nanu)
(raising a brow)
Viktor Romanov (ml nanu)
Are you in your right mind, Leo?
Kabir Rathore/Leonard Romanov (ml)
Why?
Viktor Romanov (ml nanu)
You’re offering a cigarette to an old man who just skipped his meds?
Kabir Rathore/Leonard Romanov (ml)
Once in a while, Nanu.
Kabir Rathore/Leonard Romanov (ml)
Rarely.
Kabir Rathore/Leonard Romanov (ml)
Let the lungs live dangerously too.
Viktor Romanov (ml nanu)
It’s good to see you like this.
Kabir Rathore/Leonard Romanov (ml)
Oh, thank you, Nanu.
Kabir Rathore/Leonard Romanov (ml)
I appreciate that you admire my handsome face.
Viktor Romanov (ml nanu)
Of course I do.
Viktor Romanov (ml nanu)
You’re my blood.
Viktor Romanov (ml nanu)
Why would I hesitate to compliment myself?
Kabir Rathore/Leonard Romanov (ml)
Still self-obsessed, I see.
Viktor Romanov (ml nanu)
Just like you.
Kabir Rathore/Leonard Romanov (ml)
(laughs lightly)
Kabir Rathore/Leonard Romanov (ml)
(lights his ciggerate)
Kabir Rathore/Leonard Romanov (ml)
(exhales a trail of smoke toward the ceiling)
Kabir Rathore/Leonard Romanov (ml)
Viktor Romanov (ml nanu)
So, how was your day, Mr. Tsar?
Kabir Rathore/Leonard Romanov (ml)
Just like every other day, Nanu.
Viktor Romanov (ml nanu)
I heard you killed Baldev Das.
Kabir Rathore/Leonard Romanov (ml)
(with a raised brow)
Kabir Rathore/Leonard Romanov (ml)
News really travels faster than light around here.
Viktor Romanov (ml nanu)
The man sitting across from you is the former Tsar of the Russian Mafia.
Viktor Romanov (ml nanu)
You think I don’t have sources?
Kabir Rathore/Leonard Romanov (ml)
I didn’t kill anyone.
Kabir Rathore/Leonard Romanov (ml)
I merely wiped out a disease.
Kabir Rathore/Leonard Romanov (ml)
That man was running poison in my name.
Kabir Rathore/Leonard Romanov (ml)
I don’t allow filth under my rule.
Viktor Romanov (ml nanu)
Impressive.
Viktor Romanov (ml nanu)
But I hope you're taking therapy for those....
Viktor Romanov (ml nanu)
Delightful anger issues of yours.
Kabir Rathore/Leonard Romanov (ml)
(stands slowly, walks closer to Viktor)
Kabir Rathore/Leonard Romanov (ml)
(points toward the glass and the pills on the table)
Kabir Rathore/Leonard Romanov (ml)
Take your tablets, Nanu.
Viktor Romanov (ml nanu)
Don’t try to divert my question.
Kabir Rathore/Leonard Romanov (ml)
(starts walking backward toward the door)
Kabir Rathore/Leonard Romanov (ml)
I’ve told you this a hundred times already, Nanu.
Kabir Rathore/Leonard Romanov (ml)
There’s only one cure to my anger issues.
Kabir Rathore/Leonard Romanov (ml)
Until then… don’t experiment on me.
Viktor Romanov (ml nanu)
And what kind of miracle cure is that supposed to be?
Viktor Romanov (ml nanu)
For you?
Viktor Romanov (ml nanu)
The bloodthirsty, ruthless Mafia King?
Kabir Rathore/Leonard Romanov (ml)
(pausing at the doorway)
Kabir Rathore/Leonard Romanov (ml)
There’s a solution to every problem, Nanu.
Kabir Rathore/Leonard Romanov (ml)
We just have to wait… for the right time.
Kabir Rathore/Leonard Romanov (ml)
(Glancing back one last time)
Kabir Rathore/Leonard Romanov (ml)
And please, don’t forget your tablets.
Kabir Rathore/Leonard Romanov (ml)
I may be your grandson… but I’m not someone you can fool.
Viktor Romanov (ml nanu)
(quietly picks up the pills and swallows them)
Viktor Romanov (ml nanu)
You’ll never change, Leo…
Kabir Rathore/Leonard Romanov (ml)
As I said, Nanu... time will fix everything.
Kabir Rathore/Leonard Romanov (ml)
(leaves the room)
