13B: Fear Has a New Address Page #6

Synopsis: In today's world, the major source of relief, information and entertainment is the TV. So much so, that it has moved up from its modest position of being just another 'household appliance' to actually determining the power equation in a family. It is easy to identify the hierarchy in the family depending on who controls the remote control. So what happens when the TV realizes this power and begins to take control? What happens when instead of showing you the facts, the TV, begins to show you what it wants you to see? What happens when Manohar, to his great horror, realizes that this is exactly what is happening with his wonderful family, who has just moved into their sweet new home at 13B.

Shiva. lt's not a joke.

l am sorry. But if you tell

anyone about this, they'll laugh.

Fair enough. - Anyways, now

that you have approached me. .

Don't worry, l will

solve the problem.

At what time is the

programme telecasted? - 1 o'clock.

They don't even let us

watch the programme.

Someone is always ringing the bell.

Go see who it is, Priya.

- You go.

''Everyone is happy as

everything is alright.''

''Friends, everything is alright.''

What is it? Why do you

come home whenever you want?

There's no food at home. Go away.

- Are you done?

Yes.

- Now, meet him.

Hi, Shiva.

- Hi.

l'm so sorry.

l thought it'd be him alone.

Mummy, look who has come?

- Who is it?

Mom. Shiva.

- Shiva. After so many days.

Hello, Aunt. - You didn't

even come for the house warming.

l think you have forgotten us.

No Aunt, l haven't

forgotten at all.

But l don't get any time

outside of my responsibilities.

Otherwise why would

l have come today?

Just a minute. Move aside. .

And how is Manoj? Are

the children fine? - Yes.

They are absolutely fine.

l am so sorry. lt's the

same thing at my house.

At least you opened the door.

My mother doesn't even

open the door. .

. .while watching her

favourite programme.

Manu, we'll talk later.

Let us watch first.

Not here. Sit here.

- Okay.

Take a seat. lt's very interesting.

- Yes. - Have a seat.

Mannu, l will serve food

during the break. - Fine.

Oan you watch T.V.?

- Yes.

Keep watching.

You're back.

- Eeshwar, that's Gayatri, my wife, .

Hello.

See, l told you so.

That's you. That's you.

Oome in.

Hello, Mother. How are you?

- Bless you, son.

How are you?

- l'm fine. Just a minute.

Ex cuse me.

Hello. Yes, Mr. Madan, how are you?

Why did you call?

What?

When did this happen?

ln the hospital. Which one?

But is she fine?

Wait for me. l'll be there soon.

What happened?

The cylinder at my home exploded.

Shiva. Oome with me. Hurry up.

What are you doing, Mannu?

Shiva, listen to me.

Stop freaking out and behaving

like a psycho. - Listen to me!

Oall him right now.

- But why?

Just because you saw

something on television. .

Shiva.

- What the. .

lt's a matter of life and death.

- Okay.

l am calling.

Oall home, and tell Sheila to

get out of the house right now.

Just a minute. l'm doing it.

The network's busy.

- God darn it.

The stupid network.

Oh my God.

Oome on, come on.

Relax, Mannu.

Hello.

- Sheila! She's on the line.

Ask her to get out of the

house right now. - Just a minute.

Let me talk to her. Sheila, it's me.

What are you doing?

Why? What's wrong?

Leave everything, and get

out of the house. Right now.

Sheila. lt got disconnected.

- Oh God, come with me.

Oome on, fast. There's no time.

Mother, l'm leaving.

- Mannu, have something to eat.

Where are you going?

Where are they going?

What has happened?

Why is this happening with me?

Relax, everything will be fine.

She cannot even smell anything.

Sheila. Are you fine?

- What's wrong?

Stay here. l will be back.

Kitchen.

- Oh God!

l just can't believe this Mannu.

lt's just so bizarre.

l still can't believe it,

Manu. How can this happen?

You were laughing at me

when l was telling you.

Now we both are entrapped in this.

What do you mean by ''we''?

- l was leading a normal life. .

. .with my wife and child. How

can l be entrapped in this story?

lf anything happens to

them, Mannu. . - Shiva.

l'm not doing all of this.

l don't know how this is happening.

l am stuck in this on my own.

l don't know what to do.

What do you mean?

Just vacate that house.

What are you thinking? What are

you still waiting for? Get out now.

Shiva. l cannot vacate that house.

Why? Why cannot you

vacate it? What do you mean?

Shiva, listen to me.

My house is the only place

where the programme telecasts.

lf we hadn't seen it

at the right time. .

Sister-in-law's life was in danger.

We couldn't have saved her.

lf l vacate that house, l

will never get to know. .

. .what's going on in that programme.

And if something bad

is going to happen. .

. . l won't be able to save

my family from it, Shiva.

And you thought l was joking.

l am entrapped in it as well, Mannu.

But Mannu. . You are

absolutely right, Mannu.

Don't go out of that house at all.

And first of all, it's very important

for you to stay in that house.

And don't tell your

family about this. .

. .or else they will ask

you to vacate the house.

And Mannu, most importantly. .

. . please ask your family to

pay close attention. .

. .to the inspector's duties.

Or else, they might

just side-track it. .

. .and not pay close attention.

And the inspector. .

You understand what l am. .

Now, you understand what

l am going through.

Harry. What's wrong?

What, Harry? ls

there someone, Harry?

Hello, is anyone there?

Anyone there? Harry.

Oareful. Stop.

Sir, what's wrong?

Sir.

- Manohar.

Yes sir, just a minute.

- Son.

Thank you.

- Are you okay?

Yes, but something

happened to Harry.

He must have spotted

a cat or something.

He just ran away.

Sir, come here. Take a seat.

l will look for him.

Harry.

Harry. What are you doing there?

Harry, come here.

Harry. Oome here, boy.

Good boy. Oome here.

Oome on.

Priya! Priya! What happened?

- What? Nothing.

Why do you get so hyper?

- No, l thought something happened.

Nothing happened.

l don't know why, but you have

been behaving strangely these days.

That's not it. l felt

like coming to the kitchen. .

. .and giving you a helping hand.

- Really.

Yes. Because l've

heard that if husband and. .

. .wife work

together in the kitchen. .

. .the intimacy

between them increases.

You brought a cookbook earlier.

And now you are

talking about psychology.

Forget it. So what's

the latest with you?

Do you still watch that

programme on T.V. , 'Sab Khairiyat'?

What happened in today's episode?

You are addicted as well, right?

You got hitched as well, right?

And you used to mock us.

Now you call from the office to

ask what happened on the show.

When you come to the kitchen you

ask, ''What happened on the show?''

But you won't believe what

happened on the show today.

Amazing. An amazing thing

happened on the show today.

Why? What happened?

The neighbour.

- Yes.

His dog.

- Yes.

He goes into the

garden and starts digging.

Then?

- He keeps digging and digging.

Then what?

- He finds something there.

What? - That's what l

would like to know myself.

But before they could

show anything, it ended.

l am just fed up.

Sir, some people want an

invitation to the political meeting.

You asked me to remind you.

- Yes. Go.

Hello!

Yes, Kalsekar. - l will call you.

l will call you later. Okay.

You have reminded me. Now leave.

Yes! Sir.

- Get back to your work.

Shiva. Shiva. Shiva.

- Manu, you are so late.

Where were you? You said

there's something urgent.

Tell me what happened

in yesterday's episode.

Was l transferred?

- Take a look.
