School of Lies

Be back in a bit.

Get out!

Shakti Salgaonkar.

Absent, sir.

Okay.

Shekhar, you're with Murli today.

And, Ayush.

You're on your own.

That was amazing, Shamil.

This will be our solo opening act, for the next week's recital.

- I am putting up your name. - Yes, ma'am.

Okay?

Thank you, ma'am.

Good morning, sir.

Don't you have classes?

I was missing you.

Just wanted to see you.

What happened?

Why do you look fucked up?

Nothing.

You know I hate it when you lie.

And I always

always know when you lie.

So out with it.

What's up?

I think you're making a huge mistake, Pri.

West Coast is a waste of time.

There, I said it.

A degree is a degree.

What about local courses?

Take a break, prepare from home.

We discussed this.

Just asking.

Is this why you are here?

I am planning long-term. For both of us.

You survived being the only girl in class.

You can survive anything.

But I doubt I can.

For two years we've been planning to move out together.

But I guess it doesn't matter to you.

You find satisfaction in small things.

Oh, come on, Pri.

Pritika.

Yes, Sanju.

Arya's father paid us a visit.

Why?

I wasn't sure about what to tell him.

He was so upset. Mr. Jain.

Arya's only with us for eight hours.

Rest of the time he's on his own.

That's when these incidents happened.

He's 11-year-old, Nandita.

We cannot question him like this.

And on whose authority did you do this?

Finding the root cause of his anger issues was important.

You should have consulted me.

See, you're a career counsellor.

Your job should be related to his studies.

That's it.

I've seen drastic changes in his behaviour in the past couple of months.

I was curious to find out what was going on.

See, his parents have just had a second child.

So Arya's just feeling a little left out.

I personally had a word with them.

He refuses to return to school.

I know you've been here for less than a year, but

we take this kind of things seriously here.

So going forward, could you please just

be a little more careful.

Want some?

No, thank you.

Our boys after they won the trophy, with the Japanese physicist Kobayashi.

And this is the Shanghai team with the boys.

They worked really hard.

Their focus and dedication even startled me.

We were naive when we were 14.

We were primitive.

This generation, I tell you...

I'm learning more from them.

But I've a bone to pick.

You're out hunting a headmaster for Seagull,

and not a peek.

Sam, you bastard.

Would you quit the legendary RISE,

and join our school?

Why not?

I mean, I know RISE is my first love, but

it's been 20 years.

I want to try something new.

Let's build a new madhouse, Set hi a.

What do you say?

Even your saying this is an honour to me.

But...

Students these days and their parents,

get too involved.

Dealing with them requires a different skill set.

Do you think

will you be able to adjust with them?

What do you think I am doing now?

With the other headmaster?

I'll talk to the board.

Thank you.

I know they will say yes.

Excuse me.

Give me a minute.

And lunch is on me.

Don't you dare argue about it.

Sam, you...

Temperature's normal.

Did you take your pills?

I was missing mom.

I called her but couldn't say anything.

You think I'm weak, right?

If you wanted to call home, you could have told me.

You weren't around.

I've been puking all morning.

You have no time for me...

I just had a fallout with Pri.

Spare me the indignation.

Vikram sir.

Jogi sir's summon.

You've been asked to report to Sam Sir house.

Okay, go.

This is absolutely confidential, okay.

Shakti Salgaonkar, 837.

Class 7A

has been absent from classes all day.

I did some asking around,

but no one's seen him.

Breakfast, lunch or anywhere else.

Do you guys have any idea where he could be?

Sir, I saw him yesterday night.

Sir, I gave his dorm attendance.

He was definitely there.

I see.

Then he must be around.

We need to find this boy ASAP.

And give him an orange card, okay.

Do a thorough check of all the dorms,

classrooms, toilets, labs, and everywhere.

Every inch.

For all you know, this may be some elaborate prank.

Bhanu, Vikram.

Check all the dorms and report back to me. Okay.

Jogi.

Trevor.

Classrooms.

Okay.

And Jogi,

you speak to all the other house captains, as well.

If you can't find him anywhere.

But discreet is the word, okay.

This is a house matter.

But, sir,

what do we say, if someone asks

why we're looking for him?

I mean, other house captains, they would definitely ask.

Just make up an excuse. You're so good at it.

Come on.

Be smart, guys.

Go on, now.

Sir.

Yeah, okay.

Thanks, sir.

I am going to use the washroom.

Okay.

Pick one.

Thank you, sir.

Can I clean the fish tank?

It's covered in mould. Guess you didn't syphon the water either.

Leave it.

We've more pressing matters at hand.

What happened?

Are you alright?

Can I wait here for a while?

I don't want to be at the dorms right now.

Everyone is getting on my nerves.

You know, this Shakti thing is

stressing me out.

I don't know how useful the others will be,

but I am counting on you.

Can you please take charge?

Thank you.

'Hey...'

Yes sir. I'll check.

Yes sir.

I'll arrange the rest in a couple of days.

Don't stop the consignment.

Clients are calling repeatedly.

Then dance on the ringtone.

We aren't a bank,

where we'll buy your excuses.

I swear I'll pay up this time.
