Original subtitles

There was a time when we as people

did not even exist

in the consciousness of the people

in power in Delhi.

But as the great poet said,

"The times they are a-changin'."

Finally, we are being noticed.

We must grab this opportunity.

But, David sir,

will our leaders agree to come together

and make this meeting happen?

What option do we have?

Finally, we have a PM who is focusing

on peace and development in the region.

I know her proposal…

-Let's go.

-All done?

A deadly bomb blast

has rocked the city of Kohima,

leaving at least 30 people dead

and 15 others injured.

Several of the injured are said

to be in critical condition.

In this attack, the MCA chief,

David Khuzou, was also injured.

Breaking news from Imphal.

A big blast at a bus station.

In a Dimapur hotel,

a terrifying bomb blast…

In a parking lot in Pasighat,

a bomb blast…

In the bomb blast that took place

at the Itanagar market,

18 people lost their lives.

A bomb blast in a police station

has created utter chaos,

and no outfit has claimed responsibility

for what is already being termed

the worst terrorist attack in a decade.

In the last 48 hours,

in six of the states of the Northeast,

six bomb blasts have taken the lives

of hundreds of citizens.

But the government remains silent

on the matter.

What is #CowardBasu doing?

Security has been heightened

in Nagaland…

12 people confirmed dead till now…

The injured are being admitted

to the civil hospital…

The government has released

emergency numbers…

Eat it.

Repeat after me.

-Say it.

-You want me to say it?

Let it be.

If I'm done here, may I go?

Don't go anywhere.

You have to sit here.

It's a long ceremony.

Shaadi.com?

You've got another match?!

Ever since I uploaded this photograph

of myself on the beach,

I am getting match after match,

praise be to God!

You mean,

all these girls want to marry you?

Well, to be honest,

even I'm a bit surprised.

It feels like I'm on The Bachelor,

getting my pick of women.

I'm so happy today.

They've finally bought a house.

All thanks

to Lord Guruvayurappan's blessings.

All thanks to the blessings of Maharaj

from Banaras and Lord Ganpati.

By the way, you've started

speaking Hindi so fluently.

Now, it's your turn.

You must learn Tamil.

Here, Mom.

Chai, just the way you like it.

-Say your name.

-What?

-Your name.

-Srikant Tiwari.

Say your wife's name.

Now, what?

Oh! Suchitra.

Say your children's names.

-What did he say?

-D.

-D?

-No. Dhriti.

Dhriti. Atharv.

Repeat after me.

Panditji, isn't there a way that

you recite the entire sloka

and I simply respond with 'ditto'?

There's a word, right?

Say 'ma-ma.'

-Ma-ma?

-Ma-ma.

Ma-ma. Great.

Feel free to recite

as long a sloka as you like,

and I'm ready with 'ma-ma.'

Okay?

Ma-ma.

-Sir!

-How are you?

-Good morning, sir.

-Sharma.

Hey! You keep saying 'ma-ma'

at the right places.

Sri?

What a beautiful house.

Thank you, sir.

Congratulations.

-What is this, sir?

-Guess?

-A crockery set?

-That's a great guess.

Sir, I ask you for a home loan,

-and you're giving me forks and knives!

-Sri!

So? I ask you to follow rules and orders,

and what do you give me instead?

-An Inquiry Commission.

-Srikantji, come here.

This house is your responsibility now.

-Srikant!

-You are the owner of this house.

Coming.

Sorry, sorry.

How is Dad the owner of this house?

Didn't you buy it?

That, too, without a home loan.

Dhriti, don't start your

woke arguments here.

We're in the middle of a prayer.

Besides, a home doesn't belong to

any one person. It belongs to all of us.

Dad, what happened to our flat?

This is our flat's housewarming, my son.

Not Mom's flat.

Your flat!

You made a down payment

for it when I was a little boy.

Don't you remember?

Yes.

Do you want to see it?

Take a look.

Six floors have been built.

Construction stalled during COVID.

Hence, the delay.

It's been ages since COVID, Dad.

Yes, but the construction company

also went under.

So we lost the flat?

We've taken the matter to court.

Don't worry, we'll get it back.

When?

Soon enough.

I'm sure

it'll be ready in time

for Dhriti's wedding.

If you act too smart,

I'll give that flat to your sister

as a wedding gift.

Good luck.

Good morning, madam.

Please take a seat.

Let's get straight to the point.

Who do you think is behind

the blasts in the Northeast?

I believe some splinter groups

in the region are behind this.

I'm certain these blasts

are part of China's Project Guan Yu.

It was a well-coordinated attack.

I think this time we need

to take a stand against China.

I agree, we need to take a firm stand.

Ma'am, I think we should

think this through more carefully.

If we make any hasty decisions,

it may affect our Project Sahakar.

True.

So we sit back and do nothing

while these China-backed militants

continue to take the lives

of our innocent civilians?

That is not what I said, Yashwant.

Ma'am, think about it.

Why would the groups behind

these blasts

employ such violent tactics?

For one simple reason.

They want the conflict

in the Northeast to continue as is.

With great difficulty,

we finally managed

to bring all the major rebel groups

to the table.

Once they are all on our side,

we will easily neutralize

the remaining small splinter groups.

We have to treat the disease,

not the symptom.

I do agree with Mr. Kulkarni.

Once Project Sahakar succeeds,

we'll have the goodwill that we need.

We can't afford to compromise

this project, ma'am.

But yes, we can definitely take

a strong diplomatic stance against China.

Okay, Varaprasad.

Think it through

and propose a plan of action.

But remember,

the people should see me

as a strong leader.

Let's wait until that meeting

with the rebel groups,

and until then,

we will take no military action.

Mr. Kulkarni,

let's fast-track this, please.

Of course, ma'am.

Excuse me, ma'am.

Do you have a minute?

What is it?

Do we have an update

on the defense deal, ma'am?

It is not a top priority for us,

right now.

I would like to allocate a large chunk

of the budget to Project Sahakar.

I know, ma'am…

Bringing peace to the Northeast

is your personal mission.

But the threat of China--

China isn't going to war

with us tomorrow, are they?

Right, Sambit?

I agree, ma'am.

But Dwaraknath keeps following up.

What should I say to him?

Tell Dwarak

that the deal is currently on hold

because of budget constraints.

And anyway, that deal is overpriced.

-We'll see next year.

-Okay.

Don't worry.

You'll get a chance

to play with the big toys.

Dwarak, their patience is wearing thin.

What do you want me to do, Jim?

We all knew this would take time.

I thought Prime Minister Basu

was your friend.

She's a politician, James.

All they care about are the fat donations

I make to their party.

You wanted to--

You wanted to front the deal, Dwarak.

We didn't force you into it.

You told the Collective you can

persuade Basu to sign this deal.

And we were supposed

to sign the deal last spring.

The Collective is impatient.

I know.

Lately, I'm getting the feeling

that she's stonewalling me.

So…

can you buy me some more time?

How many times, Dwarak?

How many times can

we get 'some more time' for you?

That's the nature

of the business, François.

And you of all people

should know very well

how long these things

can take to set up.

After all, we're asking India

to break away from its longtime

ally, Russia, and make a deal with us.

By the way, you may need

to travel to D.C. next week.

They're moving up the hearing

with the SEC.

Really?

Are you blackmailing me?

No.

I'm not.

The SEC wants to investigate trading

irregularities with your businesses.

That's the truth.

But you better move fast.

Perhaps there's a way

you can make this go away.

Look, I'm doing everything

in my power to persuade Basu,

and we plan to apply more

pressure through the media.

I'll make the deal happen, all right?

And how do you propose

to achieve that this time?

War!

The threat of war.

Like he said, a little more time.

And now that I've come on board,

she will come around.

That's a promise.

I need to go.

You deal with these whiny losers.

We'll talk later.

See you later, gentlemen.

Who is she?

Does she work for you?

Good morning, guys.

Good morning, Meera.

Lloyd, status?

Just a second, Meera.

Almost there.

-Here you go. Ready, Will?

-Ready.

The target is approaching now.

Target in position.

What a handsome man.

Born into a billionaire's family,

politically connected,

Oxford graduate,

and the sole heir to the throne.

Do I have the go-ahead?

Okay, go for it.

No heir to the throne.

Tragic, but necessary.

T.F.M. HOUSE

Greetings, sir.

-Good morning, sir.

-Good morning, sir.

-Good morning, sir.

-Good morning.

Hi, Sri.

Hi, JK.

Try showing up on time for once.

I have to shampoo my hair, unlike you.

Srikant!

Yes, sir?

Late again?

Have you seen the time?

Kulkarni sir is calling you.

-Sir?

-Yes! Sri!

Come, come!

I'm sorry I couldn't make it

to your housewarming ceremony.

-No worries, sir.

-I'm sure nobody missed me.

We missed you a lot.

But I know even though

you weren't there,

your blessings definitely were.

I have something for you.

This is a gift

for your housewarming,

for you and Suchi.

Sir,

you didn't have to.

A crockery set?

Was this Mr. Sharma's idea?

How did you guess?

It couldn't have been anyone else.

So…

how are things between you

and Suchi now?

Well, sir,

you know how it is.

Come, sit.

Let's get down to business.

What do you know about Project Sahakar?

It is a defense plus development

project in the Northeast.

That's what it is on the surface.

But attached to it

is a highly classified mission

to counter Project Guan Yu.

-Guan Yu?

-That's right.

China has set up some phoenix villages

near the Northeast border,

on the Myanmar side.

The only purpose of these villages

is to train ultras

who can then easily infiltrate our border

and continue to spread

unrest in the Northeast.

To counter this,

we need to ensure economic growth

and political stability in the region.

Yes, and to achieve that,

the focus should remain on jobs,

development, infrastructure,

and education

so that peace can follow.

Absolutely right.

For that, we need the cooperation

of the locals.

With great difficulty, we have

persuaded the major rebel groups

in the region to sign

a cooperation treaty.

Thanks to you-know-who.

-Who?

-David Khuzou.

Wow!

David sir? That's great news.

Needless to say,

all this is highly confidential.

On our side,

other than the PMO and us,

no one else knows about this treaty.

-Okay.

-I'm heading to Nagaland for the meeting,

and I want you to come with me.

Are you up for it?

When do we leave, sir?

Where are you off to?

Where are you off to, Tiwari?

The Northeast.

The Northeast is a region,

not a city.

Where in the Northeast?

That's classified.

It's above your security clearance.

Really? It's 'classified'?

Since when are things

'classified' between us?

Do you remember my Chennai operation?

Back when you were stuck

in your stupid IT job,

and you were feeling FOMO?

And now you're feeling FOMO?

I was stuck in a

hostage situation,

and that Subbu was firing

at me left, right, and center.

You weren't even in TASC back then,

and yet I gave you every little

intricate detail about the mission.

Exactly.

So, now do you understand

why this is beyond

your security clearance?

After all, if you give a monkey a razor,

he'll probably shave his bottom,

not his face!

What a disgusting man!

We need to figure out how

Soo Yong Capital

and ShrinkMe participate

in decision-making.

They have a 49 percent stake, right?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

I hope they won't interfere

with our day-to-day operations.

Don't worry.

Their CEO has assured me

that all operational decisions

will be ours.

-They won't interfere.

-They're here.

-Hello.

-Hi, Gina.

-Hi, Lee.

-Hello, Nikhil.

Nikhil, this is the

partnership agreement.

The CEO has signed it.

Mr. Juntao conveys his

regrets for not being here.

No worries.

Thank you.

So now, Soo Yong Capital

and ShrinkMe are officially partners.

-Congratulations!

-Thank you.

-And congratulations to you, too.

-Thank you.

-Cheers!

-Cheers!

Where's that tall gentleman?

Arvind?

Arvind sir has moved to Canada.

We were looking forward to meeting him.

Hello?

What's happening here?

I'll be right back.

What happened?

I saw what you were doing.

Put your feet down.

Tell me one thing.

Why is your sister

extra mean these days?

Her mood hasn't been the best.

But why?

Because she has a lot going on.

She's a climate champion,

an LGBTQ activist,

and a social warrior.

They are worried about

a lot of things, Dad!

They?

Who else is worried?

Not that 'they,' Dad,

Dhriti is a 'they.'

Last I checked, Dhriti was a 'Tiwari.'

When did she become a 'De'?

Dad, Dhriti equals 'they.'

T-h-e-y. They!

Sis likes to be

called they/them, not she/her.

But why?

You don't get it, do you?

Let me give you an example.

'They' are going to college,

not 'she' is going to college.

'They' instead of 'she.'

I ask again, but why?

Because they want to show their support

to all the non-binary people.

That is why sis decided

to change her pronoun

from 'she' to 'them.'

What about her friends?

Are they also a 'they'?

Yes.

They are all 'they' now.

They are also 'them.'

Right.

So, how do I refer to 'they'

and 'them' in Hindi?

I don't think these pronouns

have been invented in Hindi.

Thank God.

Hindi is safe!

Hey, you'll go deaf!

Wanted to be Beethoven

but ended up a Bedouin.

Don't study, keep listening to music.

This boy has no hope!

-Dad.

-What?

Can you come to school tomorrow?

Why?

Some kids in school are troubling me.

I'd love it if you could

beat them up.

Beat them up?!

Are you crazy?

Go study. Be useful!

Suchi… Dad…

Why is it that you only talk to each other

when guests are present?

Don't talk crap.

Go do something productive.

Where are these 'theys' going?

One aglio olio penne alfredo.

-And you?

-One chicken salad.

Sure, ma'am.

So…

What are your hobbies?

Didn't you read my profile?

I have a whole list there.

Yes, I remember.

Your list of hobbies

is longer than this menu.

I mean…

I really appreciate it.

Managing all those hobbies

is a hobby in itself.

And here, I don't have

the time for a single hobby.

Such is the nature of my job.

No Time To Die.

What do you do?

Actually…

Did I ask about something forbidden?

No, nothing like that.

It's just that I usually don't

tell too many people…

You're acting as if

you're a secret agent.

What?

Me? A secret agent?

No way.

Never mind, let it be.

It's not like we're getting married.

Aren't we here because

we want to get married?

You created a profile

on Shaadi.com

to actually get married?!

People create profiles

on Shaadi.com to get married.

Not to shop online?

Did I say something wrong?

Why did you write #FWB on your profile?

FWB?

When I was making my profile,

I looked at other profiles for research.

Some people had '#FWB' in their bio.

It sounded really cool.

There were other hashtags too,

like YOLO, ROLO, XOXO, FWB…

I copy-pasted them all.

Do you even know what 'FWB' means?

A family-wanting-boy, right?

B stands for 'benefits.'

And… F?

Friends.

I don't understand.

-Friends…

-With.

Oh!

Dammit.

But aren't there other apps

in the market for all this?

Those other apps are filled

with psychos and losers.

At least on Shaadi.com, you find stable,

safe, 'family-wanting-boys.'

You haven't taken your diabetes pills?

The doctor called me

because you were not answering.

He bores me with his lectures.

I'm taking the pills without fail.

I'm going out of town for a few days.

Where to?

Dehradun.

You were looking good today.

Thanks.

Name?

Zoya Ali.

Where are you from?

Lucknow.

What were you doing before joining TASC?

I was a computer science engineer.

Why do you want to rejoin TASC?

I believe I have fully recovered.

I'm both physically

and mentally fit for the job.

I'm ready to return to active duty,

and I want to serve my country, sir.

In the last three years,

have you taken any

restricted or illegal drugs?

No.

-How was her physical test?

-Have you been outside the country

-in the last three years?

-No.

-It's clear.

-Has any foreign citizen tried

-And fitness?

-to meet you in the last three years?

-Excellent. She's scored an A overall.

-No.

Were you a part of the mission

in which Agent Milind was killed?

No.

Did Milind's death affect you?

Yes.

Have you gotten over his death?

No.

But I'm sure with time,

I'll make my peace with it.

Were you and Milind

romantically involved?

No.

Do you think TASC is

responsible for Milind's death?

No.

Do you think a specific TASC official

is responsible for Milind's death?

No.

She's lying.

But according to the polygraph,

she's telling the truth.

She has learned

how to con the polygraph.

She's a smart agent.

Hi, Zoya.

What the hell!

I can understand

why Zoya would have a problem with you.

But what did I do?

I'm a walking,

talking bundle of good energy. Right?

Excuse me, sir.

We need you to sign this.

Sir, if you think the agent is not ready,

you can say so.

She can try again in six months

to get reinstated.

She deserves to be back.

-Thank you.

-Thank you, sir.

Hello, Meera.

I've been warned against

shaking hands with you…

ever since your encounter

with General Ansari.

Please.

My official response remains,

"I was never there!"

-I'm innocent.

-Of course, you're innocent.

And anyway, anyone who could

prove otherwise is no longer alive.

To Nasreen Baig.

While Nasreen was alive,

the General Ansari case

hung over my head like a sword.

Thank you for setting me free.

Nasreen is dead,

and so is your case.

Shall I get you a drink, sir?

Just water for me.

I'll have a repeat.

Double, please.

Sure.

So, I helped you.

Now, it's your turn.

Go on.

How is your Guan Yu

project coming along?

By God's grace,

it's going according to plan.

Slowly and surely,

we're adding more phoenix

villages day by day.

Are you just freelancing,

or is the ISI behind this too?

You must be aware of

the situation in Pakistan.

The economy has gone to the dogs.

To make matters worse,

our incompetent prime minister…

has slashed the ISI's budget by half.

So, you're in China's pocket

just for the money?

For my country.

Enough with me.

Let's talk about you.

What do you want?

I'm looking for someone… really good.

Someone who knows

Northeast India very well.

It's a critical mission.

The Northeast.

I have someone.

He's very good.

Why, Koto?

Why did you have to do this?

What did you get out of it?

You said you wanted weapons.

I got you the best of the best

from China, didn't I?

Yes, you did, Rukma bhai.

-But--

-I'm talking right now.

What did you do?

You stole from me using

the very weapons that I gave you.

Who does this?

It's such a dick move.

This village, right?

It's like my home.

And all of its people

are like my family.

You thought you'd screw me over

in my own house, and I won't find out?

Does that ever happen?

Does it make any sense at all?

Bhai… I beg you, please forgive me.

I have a family, Rukma bhai.

Fine then.

Let's go kill your family first.

No, please.

My family had nothing to do with this.

Do you even know how much

the stuff you stole is worth?

One kilogram costs 289 USD.

And how much did you steal?

120 kilograms.

120.

120 multiplied by 289.

How much is that?

34,680 USD.

Do you know what the exchange rate is?

I don't.

Let's assume it's at 85.

So in INR, it would

work out to 29,47,800.

Rukma bhai, 30 lakhs is

not a big amount for someone like you.

29,47,800.

It's not about the money, Koto.

I mean…

it's a little bit about the money as well,

but it's not just about the money.

Integrity matters, you know?

I don't have an option.

No! Please forgive me, Rukma bhai.

Please… Please…

It's Rabbit.

Give me a cigarette.

-What is it?

-Rukma bhai!

How are you?

Long time no see.

-Hello?

-Hold on.

Busy?

Should I call you later?

-Speak.

-So, you're free then.

Speak, you fool!

I have a job.

How much?

It has a nice budget.

Three million… pounds.

-Where's the client from?

-London.

But the job is here.

Here, as in the Northeast?

Have you lost it?

Do you watch the news at all,

or is it just reels 24/7?

Security is very high in the Northeast.

Very, very high.

I know.

There's a reason I called you!

Tell them I want five million.

I won't do it for less than that.

This is how you negotiate.

There's a big difference

between three and five million.

I don't think the client will agree.

Bhai, please just do it… for me.

Please.

Why should I do anything for you?

Are you my lover?

What can I say?

You have enough money.

Listen, my dear Rabbit.

To keep growing,

one has to stay hungry.

The day you're full,

someone else gets the bowl.

Five million is my last offer.

If you keep arguing,

I'll bill you for extra talk time, okay?

This isn't done, bhai.

Yes or no?

-Bhai--

-Go look for someone else.

Wait!

I'll talk to the client.

-Let's do this.

-Later, you fool!

Did you see?

He was willing to pay three million,

and I negotiated it up to five.

This is how you ask for money.

You don't steal.

Sorry, Rukma bhai.

I made a mistake.

-I won't do it again.

-Good.

By the way, Rukma bhai…

If I'd asked you for more money,

would you really have

given it to me? For real?

No.

What is the government doing? Nothing.

Everyone knows that this attack

was funded by China.

What are we doing

to send them a message?

The opposition is milking this situation

to make us look bad.

And don't even get me started

on the media.

Ignore them, ma'am.

They'll go to any lengths

to get their ratings up.

Their ratings are going up

by pushing my ratings down.

It is the lowest it's been

in the last three years.

To make matters worse,

the elections are upon us.

Perhaps, Mr. Yashwant was right.

We should give them a taste

of our strength.

No.

Kulkarni has worked very hard

to make Project Sahakar a success.

We've come this far.

Let's wait a little longer.

And you?

Weren't you supposed

to bring me a plan of action?

Actually, ma'am, I have an idea.

Suchi!

Suchi, the video is not uploading.

Suchi!

Check the internet, Atharv.

I checked already.

It says the app is blocked.

Jai Hind, sir!

After you, sir.

Saloni!

So glad to see you.

What brings you here?

I've been posted

here for some time now.

-Counter-insurgency?

-Yes.

Wow!

What are you doing here?

Nothing much.

Kulkarni sir was making

a trip to the Northeast.

-He asked me to come along,

-Right.

And so I did.

Give it to me straight.

What are you really doing here?

The head of NIA and TASC's

top agent are both here.

I'm in Intelligence too, you know.

-Yes.

-I have my ear to the ground.

When are you all going to brief us?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Bye.

I thought you would stay back here.

What are you saying, sir?

They are here.

Sir, this way.

David!

-Gautam.

-My good friend.

How lovely to see you.

-How are you, my friend?

-You're looking wonderful.

-Thank you.

-I'm very well.

It was 1999.

I think, yes.

I was hiding in Burma.

You still refer to Myanmar

by its old name?

Old habit, my friend.

Like how you still

say 'Bombay' when you talk.

You have a point.

There were five of us.

I don't know how the enemy

got to know our location.

They had surrounded us.

Guess who came to our rescue?

This young man.

You were such a daredevil.

I hope you've still

got that fire, Srikant.

I try, sir.

But, I was just doing my duty.

Nice to meet you after so many years.

Same here, sir.

Married?

-Yes, sir.

-Good.

When I used to see

the two of you together,

I could tell that

one day you would marry.

When did David meet your wife?

I think David sir is confused.

No, Srikant.

I'm not confused. I remember.

What was her name?

Soma?

Let it be, sir.

-Sophia?

-Please, sir. Let it go, sir.

Sonali!

Saloni.

Yes, Saloni and Srikant.

S and S.

It's still S and S,

but his wife's name is Suchitra.

He has two grown kids.

Srikant is a complete family man now.

Am I right?

Yes, sir. So much so

that I now have diabetes.

Here, eat some momo.

-They won't cause diabetes.

-Thank you very much, sir.

Thank you.

David…

in tomorrow's meeting,

there will be representatives

from all the rebel groups, right?

Don't worry,

they'll be there.

Almost all the rebel leaders

from the Northeast

are coming to sign the deal tomorrow.

Good.

Hey!

Put the gun down.

I'm here to meet my grandpa.

Call him.

You are not allowed to go inside.

Aren't you ashamed?

You're pointing a gun

at me in my own house?

Hey! Put the guns down, everyone.

Stephen!

What do you think you are doing?

Grandpa,

I want to talk to you about something.

What happened?

What are you doing?

You're trusting these people?

These people have always oppressed us.

I won't let you sign this peace deal.

No matter what happens,

MCA-S will not support this.

Stephen…

MCA has always been

a peaceful organization.

But look what you've turned it into.

You have turned my organization

into a militant outfit!

I'm fighting for my people,

and I'll fight till the end.

Violence will achieve nothing, Stephen.

People are tired of seeing this.

They want a change now,

especially the youth.

They want jobs, better infrastructure,

and education!

This peace accord will

make our people's lives better.

And in exchange,

you are trading in our identity?

What do you think, Grandpa?

Once this deal is done, do you think

these people will still be on your side?

You're mistaken, Grandpa.

These people will do exactly

what their government tells them to.

They don't care a damn

about what you want, Grandpa.

Shut up, Stephen!

I have known them for 20 years.

They're very good friends of mine,

and I trust them fully.

Why don't you trust me for once?

But what you are doing is wrong.

The only reason

I'm even trying to reason

with you is because

you are my grandfather.

-Or else--

-Or else? What would you do?

Listen, Stephen,

I know you don't trust us at all--

You're damn right.

I trust neither you

nor your government.

No trust at all.

Careful.

Careful, Stephen!

They are my guests.

Stephen…

I've known you since you were a child.

Today, you are the leader of MCA-S.

You are the future of this land.

There will be prosperity

and progress here

only when all the leaders work together

for the betterment of this place.

Your grandpa wants just this.

Please listen to him.

I know that you don't trust me,

but come for the meeting.

Come with us.

Just this one time, trust us.

You'll have no regrets, I promise.

I see that you've brainwashed

the great David Khuzou, my grandfather.

But your tricks won't work on me.

You are in my home,

and we don't want you here.

See, I'm going to protect my land,

and I'm going to protect my people.

If you want to be safe,

then get the hell out of here!

Stephen!

David.

-Please.

-Get out of my house!

Get out of my house! Now!

Grandpa…

Out!

Fine, Grandpa.

Fine.

Come.

Chuba, come!

Chuba!

Follow their convoy tomorrow.

Rukma bhai!

How are you, Rabbit?

Good. Come, sit.

Bring one more bottle of rice beer.

My friends must be thirsty.

Not for me.

I don't drink.

Bhai, at least try it once.

I've told you before, Rabbit.

I only work with my boys,

no one else.

Bhai, I didn't make this decision.

The client told us

to work with their people.

I mean, they requested.

Trust me, they're good.

If anything goes wrong, Rabbit,

tell your client that

they will be responsible.

Understood?

I managed to convince all the rebel

leaders to come to this meeting,

but I wasn't able to

convince my own grandson.

Don't blame yourself, David.

Stephen's generation

has dealt with a lot.

He's young, he's restless,

but he'll come around.

You'll see.

I don't know, Gautam.

Sometimes, I'm worried about him.

I hope his anger doesn't

drive him to do anything wrong.

Once this deal is signed,

everything will fall into place.

I hope so.

Bhai.

They're only two kilometers away.

Take your positions.

Entering hostile territory.

Everyone, be alert.

Copy.

This entire forested area

is controlled by drug lords.

I want you to focus

on the drug problem here.

Some drug lords have ruined this region.

They control the entire

Indo-Myanmar border,

and they are very powerful.

This is the only point

on which Stephen and I agree.

David, we will get rid

of the drug problem.

You have my word.

Thank you, Gautam.

Thank you.

-No! Stop!

-Bloody hell!

Shoot! Shoot!

Come on!

Out!

-David! David!

-Sir! Get inside!

-Dav--

-Get inside, sir. There's no time!

Akhu! Get the rocket launcher.

Give him cover!

Akhu!

Fire!

Bloody fools!

Damn it!

They've sent me an army of fools!

Bloody hell!

Sri?

In the recent attack in Kohima,

NIA Chief Gautam Kulkarni was killed,

along with Naga leader David Khuzou.

The government is yet to release

any official information

on the number of casualties

or about the perpetrators of the attack.

So far, nothing has been made public.

In Dimapur and nearby areas,

a strict curfew has been imposed.

Sir.

How is Srikant?

He is still unconscious, sir.

Oh God, I hope he is okay.

But how did this even happen?

The mission was highly classified.

How the hell did the information leak?

I don't know, sir,

how any of this happened.

I'm working with the local police,

-the minute I find something--

-There's no need, JK.

An inquiry is on.

The PMO and Home Ministry

are closely monitoring the case.

So, don't do anything.

-But, sir--

-I said, stand down.

Stay with Srikant

and keep me updated.

Is that clear?

The number you have dialed

is switched off,

please try again later.

Where are you, Sri?

The number you have dialed--

What happened, Mom?

I've been trying to call your dad,

but the call isn't going through.

But why are you freaking out about it?

That happens all the time.

Look at this.

Oh, my God!

Kulkarni uncle!

But, Mom,

this incident took place in Dimapur…

and Dad is in Dehradun, right?

Yeah, right.

Did you try calling JK uncle?

Yes, a hundred times. He isn't answering.

Dhriti…

Baby!

Baby!

Look at me.

Calm down!

Calm down!

Nothing would have happened to him!

I'm sure he'll call back in

half an hour and say his phone

either fell in water, was switched off,

or something like that.

Don't worry.

Everything will be all right.

Box breathe.

Tell me, what's the update?

Ma'am, I spoke to

the Chief Minister of Nagaland.

He's very angry about the curfew.

I don't blame him.

Our Intelligence Chief was

assassinated in his state.

It's not just about the Chief Minister.

It's utter chaos out there.

Public life has been paralyzed.

Whatever we choose to do,

we have to think it through.

The people should feel

we're on their side,

not against them.

And what about our neighbors?

They enter our backyard,

attack, and leave.

And we just stand by?

Ma'am, we know there are

certain outfits in that region

that have always been

against Project Sahakar.

Who else would be involved

in this attack, if not them?

They take funding from China,

exploit the situation in Myanmar,

and then hide there

and secretly plan attacks here.

Without a proper investigation,

it is unfair to jump to any conclusions.

While waiting for a conclusion,

we can't afford more damage.

Mr. Kulkarni may be no more,

but his project will not fail.

Under any circumstances.

This isn't any ordinary project.

It is my legacy.

It's time to show

Basu's power to the world.

Give the order, ma'am.

We'll do a proper clean-up.

They'll think twice before

doing anything like this ever again.

Try to understand,

those outfits enjoy some

local support.

If we take any drastic action,

we will alienate the people.

It's the people

I'm concerned for, Mr. Pakala!

In the fight between us

and those outfits,

it's always the common people

who suffer.

I want to bring peace, progress,

and prosperity to the region.

But the world mistakes my empathy

for weakness.

Trends the #CowardBasu.

I have had enough.

How long must I put up with this bullshit?

Ma'am, let's find a middle path.

What do you mean?

I mean, we kill the snake

without breaking our staff.

Get to the point!

We should make some arrests, ma'am.

We will set up a Special Investigation

Team to probe Kulkarni's assassination.

I'll personally investigate.

The pending payment has been

transferred to your account, bhai.

Thank you.

Rukma bhai, please start.

It must've been a long journey.

You must be starving.

Hey, guys. Come join us.

Hey! Come here.

What did you make first?

The rice or the fish?

I have no idea.

You made both

in the same pan, didn't you?

I can tell by the taste.

I only take orders.

You can take your complaints

to my owner.

You fucker!

Passionate about food, aren't you?

Bhai, food is life.

Why else do we work so hard?

Then become a chef, fucker!

You can tell what pan to

use to cook the fish.

What to cook the rice…

but you can't see this?!

Fucker!

Look!

Only one of my fingers is working.

What do I do with it?

Tell me! Where do I shove it?

I told you before,

I always work with my boys.

And what did you say?

Rukma bhai,

the client has requested

that you use their boys.

Right?

I saw their brilliance, first-hand.

They were useless!

Sorry, bhai!

Bhai.

Expenses from the mission.

You need to reimburse these.

Petrol,

uniforms,

medical bills.

Total, 27,000 rupees.

Bhai, I just transferred five million

pounds to your account,

and you're worried about

27,000 rupees?

Every drop makes the ocean.

The accounts should be clear.

In your ocean,

this is even less than a drop.

You know who my dad was, right?

Yes, I know. You've told me.

He was a police constable,

-and his salary was 12,000 rupees.

-Correct.

With just 12,000 rupees, he ran a family

that had my grandparents,

my mom, and us, three siblings.

27,000 rupees would cover the

expenses of half a village.

And you're saying,

I should let it go?

We must aim for the stars

but stay true to our roots.

-I'll get it done.

-No, not later.

Right away.

Eat.

Your fish and rice.

Bhai.

Be careful until the situation

settles down.

I’m not saying you’re a suspect,

but still, be careful.

I better not be a suspect.

Otherwise, you have to 'be careful'.

I'm going to the farmhouse.

All of you go underground.

Okay, Rukma bhai.

Water.

-Water.

-Tiwari!

-Tiwari!

-Suchi…

Can you hear me?

Suchi…

-Doctor!

-Suchi…

Nurse!

There is nothing to worry about.

All his reports are normal.

But yes, he needs to get rest.

Sir, weren’t you saying

he has a severe head injury?

Water?

-Water.

-Tiwari!

Tiwari!

It's all good.

You're safe.

Thank the lord.

I thought being shot in the ass was bad,

but this was way worse.

I thought you were a goner.

Where are we?

You're in a hospital.

Don't you remember anything?

Tiwari?

Momo.

-What?

-Momo.

Momo?

Why're you saying 'momo', Tiwari?

Enough! Stop!

Sorry.

Is it okay now?

Now tell me.

We were on our way to a meeting…

in a car.

Yes, I know.

What happened after?

Then we ate momo.

Why are you chanting

momo over and over again?

Focus on the meeting.

What happened after the meeting?

Think hard!

Shouting at me won't

help me recall, fucker.

You remember how to cuss well, though.

Continue.

It was a big house.

Whose house was it?

David Khuzou's.

I know that.

What happened after?

I was meeting David Khuzou after ages.

He was asking about

my marriage to Saloni.

You married Saloni?

No, he thought we were married.

Saloni and I had something going on.

-Yes.

-Are you getting me?

-Yes, I know.

-There was something between us…

We talked about momo, love,

and even about an imaginary marriage.

Recall anything about the job?

Okay, never mind.

You get rest.

We'll talk a little later.

You rest.

We were going in the car.

David Khuzou, me,

Kulkarni sir…

Where's Kulkarni sir?

Tiwari!

Mom, mom!

Did you hear that?

Is that the call of a Bugun?

Yes, the Bugun sings.

Someone's coming.

What have you done?!

It's nothing.

What do you mean by 'it's nothing'?

You told me you'll

come back tomorrow.

Does your 'tomorrow'

mean five months later?

I'm here now, aren't I?

I had some work to do.

Every time you come,

it's with a new injury.

I got stuck with some idiots.

I sensed something was off

right from the start.

Mom.

Let me set the table.

Come, let's eat.

What is it?

Are you my dad?

Are you crazy?!

Get out of here.

So you're saying that they knew

of your movement and route?

Someone must have…

fed information to the attackers.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been

possible for them to be so well-prepared.

That means it's an inside job.

We need to be very careful.

We can't trust anybody.

Everything stays between us.

Do one thing.

Call Ajit and Punit out here.

Our core team.

No one else. I can't trust anybody else.

-Okay?

-Yes.

By the way, Suchi has been

calling nonstop. Please talk to her.

Hello!

What?

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

Give me your phone.

Here.

-Hello.

-Hello, Suchi.

Sri! Where the hell were you?

And why has your phone

switched off since yesterday?

Do you have any idea

what crazy thoughts

were running through my head?

Suchi, just listen to me--

I know that it's your life, and

you don't owe me any explanations,

but at least think about the kids!

I've been lying through my teeth,

reassuring them,

saying that everything is all right,

when I, myself, wasn't sure

if you were alive or…

Suchi, I'm alive.

I'm absolutely all right.

My phone fell into

the water and stopped working.

We were crossing a river in Dehradun,

and the phone slipped out of my hand,

-fell into the river and died.

-Sri, please!

At least stop lying now!

JK already told me that

you are in Dimapur.

Sri, are you all right?

I'm okay.

Sri, I'm…

I'm so sorry about Kulkarni sir.

I know he was like a father to you.

I can't imagine

what you're going through.

It must be really hard.

-He was like a family to all of us--

-Suchi…

can we talk about something else?

Yes.

What else is up?

How are things at work?

Not good.

The government has banned our app.

Banned? Why?

Our major stakeholders are Chinese.

Haven't you heard? The government

has banned Chinese-funded apps.

-So then?

-I don't know.

Nikhil wants me to go

on some TV show,

represent ShrinkMe,

and try to save our image.

You're going to be on TV!

Wow!

You'll kill it, Suchi.

You'll kill it.

I don't know, I guess.

How are the kids?

They're fine.

Dhriti has started taking her

anxiety meds again.

Atharv is happily oblivious.

Thank God, he hasn't found

out about any of this.

Good.

Suchi, can we talk later?

I have some work now.

I'll call back in a bit, okay?

Okay.

Are you done?

You knew that I'd told Suchi

I was going to Dehradun.

Buddy, I tried to cover for you,

but she caught me.

Lying to Suchi is really difficult.

And I've done it for 20 years.

Go.

Call Ajit and Punit.

Go, do some work.

Memory is back, and so is the fucker.

Did you like the food?

What does 'hmm' mean?

How was it?

It was good.

What was your favorite dish?

As a kid?

I'll learn from YouTube

and make it tomorrow.

What do you really want?

Tell me! What would your mom

make for you?

Come here.

You know, I don't want

to see my mom in you.

Listen, I was thinking…

See, the cat is out of the bag.

Tell me, what were you thinking?

Will you marry me?

Or will you put it off, like always?

Why are you stuck on this?

When people are together,

they get married.

If they're together already,

why marry?

To make the relationship official.

And who makes the

relationship official?

The government?

One rubber stamp

and suddenly we're 'official'.

What about Bobby?

I don't want the marriage certificate

for me,

I want it for Bobby's future.

We know what we mean to each other,

but society needs proof, Rukma.

People will see Bobby as your son

only when there's a marriage certificate.

But Bobby isn't my son.

What do you want?

Property? Money?

Just tell me,

I'll give you whatever you want.

Do you really think

I'm with you for the money?

That's not what I meant.

I just worry about Bobby.

He shouldn't suffer for

what I've done.

I'm here for you.

Whatever is mine is yours.

What is mine?!

If you die tomorrow, Bobby and I

will be homeless!

I'm not going to die tomorrow.

Is that a guarantee?

I saw it on TV.

Even Pablo Escobar thought

he wouldn't die.

But he did.

At least, he died leaving behind a wife,

not a girlfriend.

I want to protect Bobby's future.

That is all.

Listen, I don't know

what the future holds.

But marriage and kids are

definitely not in mine.

I don't sleep more than

two nights in one place.

Do you really think…

that I should become a father to a child?

I can't do this.

-All patients moved?

-Yes, sir.

-We moved them to a different ward.

-Great.

Sorry about it, but it's

a matter of national security.

We've set up our base here

for a few days.

The minute our boss recovers,

we will leave you alone.

It's okay, sir.

We understand.

Thank you.

I've tracked all Northeastern profiles

related to Project Guan Yu.

Just take a look and let me know.

No.

No, it's not any of them.

Why can't I remember him?

His face was a little different.

He was not a local.

-Do one thing.

-Yes, sir.

Bring me a list of all active,

non-local hostiles.

On it, sir.

Should I order more food for you?

Don't be jealous.

No, eat your fill.

It's government money.

The public is paying for this.

You're the most annoying patient ever!

Sir, here it is, a list of non-locals.

Take a look.

No.

No.

No.

It's none of them.

Is this all of them?

Yes, sir. That's it.

-Okay.

-Hey!

What happened to you, Tiwari?

Earlier, if you saw someone once,

their face was etched

in your memory forever.

Old age is upon you, Mr. Tiwari.

Punit, bring that to me.

Here, sir.

No.

This is him.

This is him.

-Yes!

-You're sure, right?

I'm pretty sure.

-Let me call Sharma right away.

-No! Don't call anyone.

For now, I want this to stay

only between us.

Understood?

We can't trust anyone.

Five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four.

Five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four.

Five, six, seven, eight.

Look at that bomb.

She's so hot, bro.

I'm talking about Atharv, dumbass.

Our school's very own dancing queen.

One, two, three, four, five--

-Is everything okay?

-Yes.

Okay, guys,

I think we'll continue tomorrow.

Please practice at home.

I'll see you. Bye.

Atharv! Can you come here, please?

What happened to you today?

You're such a good dancer.

Is everything okay?

I was not okay?

You can do better.

Don't worry.

Let's try it again, okay?

-Sure.

-Should I tell something?

He's got balls.

Going for a girl, that too,

who's two years senior.

He's pretending to forget the steps

just to get closer to Ameira.

I see, act like a goo in front of the

girl you want to woo.

Five, six, seven, eight.

You're doing really well.

-Thank you so much.

-Anytime.

I'm a huge fan of your videos

on the dancing app, by the way.

You're an amazing dancer.

Keep it up, okay?

Thank you, Ameira.

Please! What is wrong with you?

Call me Amy, okay?

-Sure.

-I'll see you tomorrow, bye.

Hey, hotshot!

Ameira ma'am has told you

to practice, hasn't she?

Come, let me help you practice.

I have to go home.

Baby wants to go home.

Listen, your dancing's a total fail,

but your acting? Solid A.

This little act of forgetting your steps,

to get funky with Ameira.

It's so obvious.

I can see through it.

It's nothing like that.

-Anyway, I need to go home.

-Hey, stop!

Listen, you fruitcake,

answer my question first.

What's your question?

He is running away.

Got the answer?

Rukmangadha Sinha.

The locals call him Rukma.

Look at this news article.

He was kidnapped as a child.

Without any help,

he killed his kidnappers

with a kitchen knife and escaped.

He even got a Bravery award

from the President.

Ex-BPF cadet?

He was caught helping drug smugglers.

He was dishonorably discharged

from service.

BPF sepoy to a drug smuggler?

That's quite the change of heart.

It's always the same story, JK.

Power and money.

While in BPF, he must've seen

how lucrative the drug trade is.

Family?

They disowned him after

he was discharged from service.

He has no contact with them.

His current whereabouts are unknown.

Saloni, I…

I need a favor from you.

-Srikant--

-Please!

Can you track him?

Without using your team.

How? What do you…

Do you know anyone in Narcotics?

That depends on what exactly

you want to get done, Srikant.

Give a tip to the Narcotics department.

He's such a big smuggler.

They can raid him once and

try to catch him, you know?

It's too much to ask, Srikant.

-Why can't you guys do it?

-Saloni, I'm very sorry,

but I really want to keep this away

from our agency.

Please,

I'll explain it to you later.

Saloni,

this man killed Kulkarni sir…

in front of my eyes.

Please.

Okay,

I know someone.

Let me talk to him.

Thank you.

And, a favor usually means

asking for something small,

like grabbing cigarettes on the way.

Did you get some?

Cigarettes are off-limits.

Doctor's orders.

That was advice, not an order.

Same difference.

Major Sameer,

anything urgent?

I just wanted to see how you’re doing.

So, is your Northeast job finished?

Yes, thank you. Absolutely.

'Thank you', 'Absolutely',

looks like my guy

didn't do a good job.

I'll have to fix him up, I guess.

Your guy did a good job.

He's quite a guy, I must say.

So, killing the NIA Chief

was your critical mission, right?

Officially or unofficially?

After such a high-profile murder,

India will not stay silent.

Thank you for your concern.

They'll try to uncover every little

detail of this case

and will retaliate.

You're going to need me,

and I'll be on your side, but only

on one condition.

I need all the details

of the mission, from the start.

No offense, but I'm not some contractor

who's in it just for the money.

Like I said,

thank you for your concern,

but I don't need you going forward.

I helped you, you helped me.

I'd say we're even now, aren't we?

What is this project about, Meera?

Don't ask questions you have

no business asking.

Hello, Saloni.

Did you get any information?

Yes, I've got a possible lead

on Rukma's location.

Great.

His girlfriend lives in a village

in Arunachal Pradesh.

He might be with her.

Very good. What's the plan?

We've activated the Narcotics team.

They're going to lead this operation.

This is a massive lead

for them as well.

-They're happy.

-Full jackpot.

Okay, I'll keep you posted.

Thank you, Saloni.

Thank you very much.

He always used to talk about you.

He loved you like a son.

He was my guru…

my mentor.

He was like a father to me.

Hello, sir.

Hello, Srikant.

Chellam sir.

How's your hand?

It's all right, sir.

Sorry for your loss.

Thank you, sir.

Sir,

I need information on someone

operating along the Myanmar border.

Srikant, what do you think?

I know everything

that happens everywhere?

I thought… Sorry.

My condolences, sir.

Have you rejoined TASC?

I start next week.

Good.

This country owes Mr. Kulkarni

a huge debt of gratitude.

May he rest in peace.

Thank you for coming.

Madam PM.

Madam PM.

Madam PM!

-Excuse me!

-Stop!

-Stop it!

-Let me go.

-Madam!

-Srikant.

-Srikant, what are you doing?

-Madam PM!

-Srikant, what's happening?

-Madam. It's me. Srikant.

Madam.

-Madam!

-Let him come.

Madam.

Let him come.

Madam.

Madam, I'm Srikant Tiwari

from the TASC team.

How can I forget you?

You saved my life.

Tell me, what is the matter?

I need to discuss something important

with you about Kulkarni sir's case.

It's very urgent, ma'am.

This is not the place to talk

about something like that.

I will schedule a proper meeting.

Come to my office.

We can talk in detail then. Okay?

Take care.

Sambit.

Why do you want to meet the PM?

Sir, I saw the person

who attacked us with my very eyes,

and I have identified him as well.

Who is it?

Rukma.

A very big drug smuggler

from the Northeast.

Why would a drug smuggler

kill Kulkarni sir?

I saw him, sir.

With my very own eyes.

Srikant, listen to me.

We have credible intel that

the MCA-S is responsible for this attack.

This entire attack was orchestrated

by David Khuzou's grandson, Stephen.

No.

No.

Sir, I'm very sorry to say that your

credible intel is not credible at all.

Maybe Stephen hired this drug smuggler?

He wouldn't commit

the murder himself, would he?

Yes, you're right, sir.

But I'm sure about one thing.

Stephen and MCA-S

hate the drug business.

There's no way he would

partner with a drug dealer.

He'd never hire a non-local

or an outsider--

Maybe that was his plan?

If he uses a non-local,

no one would ever suspect him.

Simple.

Maybe, but my gut feeling says--

Your gut feeling can't be

a reason not to believe him.

The story is something else, sir.

It's quite important.

I'll fix a meeting with the PM

as soon as possible.

Thank you, sir.

I'll stay in touch.

Okay, sir.

Thank you, sir.

Bye.

-Is everything going okay?

-Yes, of course.

The collective is concerned, Meera.

The collective is always

bloody concerned, Dwarak.

Don't worry about them.

Have faith in our plan.

Thanks to us, both the Indian public

and the opposition party have

put so much pressure on Basu.

I will ensure everything escalates.

Things will start moving soon.

-Thank you, Barry.

-Thank you, sir.

And who is this agent

I'm hearing about?

What?

There's some agent, back in India,

who is after the person,

you know, the man you hired

to neutralize Kulkarni.

Srikant Tiwari… NIA, Mumbai Office.

Srikant who?

Srikant Tiwari.

Before this Tiwari becomes

a problem for us, should we…

You know.

Bad idea.

By killing Kulkarni, we've

already stirred up a storm in India.

I don't think this is the right time.

An intelligence agent,

that too, in Mumbai?

No way.

-Meera?

-Lloyd,

write this name down.

Srikant Tiwari,

-look him up.

-Copy.

I want everything on him.

Get ready, boys.

Remember,

we don't fire unless fired upon.

We want Rukma alive.

We wait for nightfall,

and then we move in.

Fine.

Let me do one thing right in life.

Let's get married or whatever.

My grandma always says,

"Don't trust the promises

that men make while in bed."

Trust me.

We'll have a grand wedding…

with all your rituals.

Really?

Nima!

Nima!

Get Bobby ready.

Bobby.

Bobby, get up.

-What happened, Mom?

-Wear this. Fast!

Come.

Come.

Meet me near the car.

Stop!

-I won't hurt you.

-Run!

Stop!

Nima.

Nima.

Ni--

Nima.

Hey.

Nima!

Hey!

Get up.

Nima?

Where's the kid?

Where's the kid?

Where's Mom?

Where's Mom?

-Come on.

-Where's Mom? Mom got left behind.

-Hurry up.

-Mom!

Mom!

Sit. Get in.

Can you reduce the volume?

Why?

Disturbs your music practice or what?

Yes, Saloni?

Oh!

Keep quiet!

Here, eat something.

And shut up.

Yes?

I'd warned you that India

would retaliate.

They're after Rukma.

They aren't. It's just a single agent.

I'll handle him.

Agent?

What's his name?

Srikant Tiwari.

Praise the lord!

What luck! You've got the

best of enemies.

Srikant Tiwari.

He's the kind of thorn

that never leaves your side.

Don't be so dramatic.

I say this because

I know him well.

Don't take Srikant Tiwari lightly.

You still have time,

I can help you.

I don't need your help

to handle a lone agent.

Like I said earlier,

back off, Major.

Lloyd, status?

Almost done.

How much longer?

The Lord is good

to those who wait.

Here we go.

Okay.

Let's have some fun with Mr. Tiwari.

Bhavik, we are going live in

five, four, three,

Namaskar.

Welcome back to the

Mann Bharat Prime Time Debate.

Today, we're discussing

whether Chinese-funded companies are

a threat to national security.

-Mr. Shashwat?

-Yes,

I was saying that 49% of ShrinkMe's

equity belongs to

Soo Yong Capital,

which is a Chinese company.

So, their clients' database

and all their secrets

must be available to them.

Is that true, Mrs. Suchitra?

Does Soo Yong hold a 49%

share in the company?

Yes.

But do they hold access

to our databases? No.

-Your mom is so strong.

-We strictly follow the laws.

-We also follow the guidelines.

-Coming from you, that's rare.

-No, she's so cool.

-Customer data…

-Chilled.

-We protect customer data.

-How is my…

-We believe you, Suchitra.

-Vibe check?

-You follow all the guidelines.

Oh, God!

-Seriously?

-There is no problem at your end.

Dad, you can never be chill.

-Peace, bro!

-How can you trust the Chinese?

The Chinese will one day take

control of your company.

What will you do then?

What happens to your databases then?

They will remain encrypted

and inaccessible.

And, you are forgetting that funding of

many of India's big tech companies

comes from China.

Are you trying to tell me that all

these companies share their

customers' databases with China?

-You have a point. But…

-Sir…

-Mr. Shashwat, Mr. Vishal…

-If you want to…

-discuss it.

-One at a time.

Mrs. Suchitra, tell me something.

Have you used the ShrinkMe app yourself?

As in? Yes, I've used it.

No, I mean,

have you used the app

yourself as a customer?

-No, but--

-Why not?

Because I don't need to.

So you're saying that all is well

in your family life?

Excuse me,

but what is the connection between

my family and this discussion?

Here, we would like to show

our viewers something.

Isn't this your divorce application?

Are you serious?

How did you get this?

Did you apply for a divorce?

Yes or no?

I'm sorry, but this is a personal matter

and I don't answer personal questions.

Mrs. Suchitra, you will have

to answer this.

The thing is that in every

Indian household,

in every family,

resides the soul of the country.

You're selling both the virus of divorce

and the vaccine of therapy

by partnering with the Chinese.

Your life is personal, but

our data is public?

Wow! And with that Chinese company, too.

-Incredible, isn't it?

-What nonsense!

-How are they connected?

-Language, please.

-And, sir, how is this journalism?

-Calm down.

How can you reveal my personal details

without my consent,

-and that too on national television?

-One minute,

you tell us, had you taken

our consent when you gave

our data to that foreign company?

How would you know?

And why are you interested

in my personal life?

I don't need to be answerable for this.

-Why is he--

-You have to tell us, yes or no.

Why is your life personal?

And not ours?

-Did you file for a divorce, yes or no?

-You know what, fuck you!

Fuck you.

Fuck your channel.

-Fuck this. End of discussion.

-What is this language?

I am not… I don't…

I am not going to be a part of this.

-I don't care. Get lost, guys.

-Just because we respect women…

I will sue you.

How can you talk like this?!

-Mr. Shashwat, we're on national TV.

-You can't use that language here.

Just because we respect women

-doesn't mean she can talk like this.

-Apologies for the inappropriate language.

We'll be back after a short break

-to continue this discussion on…

-Dad.

Mann Bharat Prime Time News.

Is this true?

Best Actor to Dad.

Best Actress to Mom.

I'm too disappointed.

I could sense that

something was going on.

How long has this been going on for?

-One year.

-Two years.

Does this mean I'll have to choose

between the two of you?

I'll go with Mom.

Me too.

Actually, I'll stay with Dad

for six months

and then with Suchi for the remaining six.

Thanks, son.

Did you know about this, JK?

About what?

Tiwa--

Look at the breakfast spread!

My timing couldn't have been better.

Dosa, podi, and sandwich.

Wow!

Is it a school holiday today?

I'm in college.

JK, I expected more from you.

Atharv, you can't call him that.

Say 'JK uncle'.

It's okay.

Call me JK.

Just JK.

But what did I do?

At least you could have told us.

I, myself, didn't have a clue.

Dhriti, Atharv, we were

about to talk to you.

How can we take such a big decision

without discussing it with you?

Bullshit.

Did someone else apply

for a divorce in your name?

Dhriti, let's talk about this later.

-Why are you doing this?

-Not now, Dhriti.

I said, we'll talk about it later.

We're still…

Yes, later we'll all

get together and discuss…

-But why--

-Not now,

later.

The sandwich is really good.

Might as well tell him

the other secret.

-What other secret?

-Nothing.

Am I adopted?

-Shit.

-Atharv. Language!

-Mom, you said 'fuck' on TV.

-Dhriti.

Tell me. I want to know.

What the F.

Are you not my real parents?

Don't worry, son.

Unfortunately, you are our child.

We'll only have to deal with you, okay?

What's the secret?

I'm an agent.

Okay.

Okay?

-A travel agent, right?

-He's a spy, dumbo.

His 'boring government job'.

What?!

You're a spy?

A real spy?

Oh, that explains the gun.

Gun?

-How does he know about your gun?

-No.

-Did you give it to him?

-No, listen to me, Suchi.

A few years ago, he took it

out of my briefcase,

and then he kept blackmailing me

about it.

Tell your mother!

Wow, Dad.

You're too good a spy!

Now, please don't go

telling everyone at school.

It's a top secret.

Do you have a code name?

Like 'tiger', 'panther', 'lion'?

I work in intelligence, my son,

not in a circus.

Thank God…

for making my dad

at least a bit cool.

By the way, Atharv.

I, too, am an agent.

You?

Yes.

What do you think?

I'll believe anything?

I am really a spy.

Let's say I believe

that Dad, maybe,

just maybe, is a spy.

But JK, you and a spy?

Sorry, but it just doesn't fit.

He's really messing

with my street cred.

Here, look.

Okay.

Here, look.

-How did you get a PAN Card?

-JK.

Give me 100 bucks and I'll get

you one as well.

-What?

-Why do you have a fake PAN card?

He's going to become a criminal.

-Just for fun, Suchi.

-Just for fun?

Don't worry,

I won't become a criminal.

You'll become a fraudster.

Enough!

Go to your room.

Go to your room, Atharv!

You guys screw up, and I get punished.

Bhai, I swear.

The leak wasn't from our side.

Where you go, what you do,

if I don't know that,

then how would my boys know?

I'm asking one last time,

how did they find my location?

I don't know, bhai.

I'm telling you the truth.

There was no leak from our side.

What is it?

Pee.

Champo,

take him and go.

Come.

Come with me.

Toy.

Those bastards killed my wife.

Your wife?

We were going to get married.

Now I'm not married,

but stuck with a child.

Who's going to raise him, you?

I'm so sorry to hear this.

-I don't want your sympathy, fucker.

-Bhai…

I want a name.

Who were they?

Why were they there?

Do one thing,

kill me. Blow my brains out.

I'm sick and tired of reassuring you

that the leak wasn't from us.

You just won't listen.

Just finish it already.

I've had it!

Are you trying reverse psychology on me?

I want a name, Rabbit.

I want to talk

to that London client of yours.

Okay, bhai.

Rabbit.

Because of this mission of yours,

I got so screwed.

You should get a little screwed, too.

Don't you think?

Srikant, I can understand that

you're quite disturbed by

Kulkarni's death.

This is all very emotional for you.

Which is why I think that,

until all this settles,

you should go on

administrative leave.

It'll help you recover.

Sir, there is no need for that.

This case is very important to me.

In fact, I've made

quite a lot of progress.

Yes, we're well aware.

You'd opened a mini TASC

office in the hospital.

-Am I right?

-Yes, sir.

We were short on time,

and I wanted to catch the

attackers as soon as possible.

-Did Sharma authorize you to do this?

-No, sir.

Did you inform Sharma

before starting the investigation?

-No, sir.

-Srikant, you didn't even debrief

when Kulkarni was assassinated.

-But, sir--

-Why?

You were the only witness.

Even then,

you neglected to

follow basic investigative protocol?

-Why?

-I--

Why? I'll tell you.

You were very emotional.

You're a senior agent.

How can you allow your emotions

to get the better of you?

Sir, I didn't have the time

to wait for clearance.

I wanted to catch them before

they could cross the border.

Listen, Srikant.

Let's cut to the chase.

You are the only person

who survived the attack.

So we will need you

for some questioning.

Do you mean to say…

I'm a suspect?

Until the investigation is complete,

everybody is a suspect.

Protocol, Srikant.

And you know how it works.

You need to surrender

your service weapon and ID.

And…

submit all the evidence

you have gathered against

the attackers to date to the NIA.

You can't leave the city without

informing your superiors.

Okay, sir.

Sir, give me just two weeks' time.

I'm this close--

-That will be all, Srikant.

-Sir, very close…

You are dismissed.

Mr. Sharma, the headquarters

has formed an SIT for this case.

The team will be led by…

Dhriti, what happened?

Dhriti. Sweetie.

What happened?

Come here, come.

What happened?

Wait, I'll get some water.

No, Mom.

-Just sit with me, please.

-Okay.

What happened, sweetie?

Mom, they're…

using morphed photos of me.

-What?

-Just look at them.

I was not even holding this placard.

I was fighting for stocking

sanitary pads in the college bathrooms,

and these pictures are

from that protest.

-Mom, is it wrong?

-Dhriti, it's not wrong.

Mom,

see the comments.

Such bad words.

-And hundreds of people are messaging me.

-Dhriti.

-Mom!

-Calm down. Dhriti,

calm down.

Calm down. Nothing will happen.

-Mom, I'm scared.

-Dhriti, nothing will happen.

We'll talk about this later.

Mom, I'm scared.

It's not my fault.

Calm down.

Nothing will happen.

Where the hell were you, Sri?

And why weren't you

answering your phone?

Do you have any idea

what we've been through today?

What do you mean?

Look at this.

They have Dhriti's number. And mine.

Random people are continuously

calling us, texting us.

They are threatening to come home,

abduct us and…

Sri, I'm losing my mind.

Imagine what Dhriti

must be going through.

Sorry…

Sorry…

-Are you drunk?

-No…

-Seriously?

-No, it's just…

I can't believe this.

I'm also in a fix.

Don't worry about this.

I'll take care of it.

Where's Dhriti?

She's sleeping.

I've given her some medicines.

Atharv is also being bullied in school.

Sri, I'm so scared.

They won't come home, right?

No way! No one will come.

These are trolls.

They keep barking like dogs,

but it's just noise.

The higher-ups from Delhi came today.

They've put me on administrative leave.

Why?

They don't want me

to work on Kulkarni sir's case.

Apparently, I'm a suspect.

But…

this is ridiculous, Sri!

-They know what Kulkarni sir meant to you.

-No…

I'm sorry, Sri.

It's all right.

Nima passed away.

And the kind of person I am,

I don't know how long I'll live.

Which is why, this…

What's your name again?

-Bobby.

-Bobby.

He's your daughter's son.

We aren't anybody's grandparents.

-For us, Nima died a long time ago.

-She was your daughter.

And she was a great girl.

I loved her.

I'm not asking you

to raise him for free.

Whatever it costs,

I'll pay for it.

We don't want your dirty money.

Take it quietly,

or I'll do another dirty thing.

Go.

Go!

He's your responsibility now.

-Good morning.

-Good morning, madam.

Hi, Zoya.

Hi, Punit.

Welcome back to TASC.

We missed you.

Thanks.

Did you hear about Srikant sir?

He's been suspended, I mean,

sent away on administrative leave.

A new SIT has taken over the case.

Who's in charge of the investigation?

I think Yatish Chawla is his name.

He's from Delhi.

The head office has sent him.

But welcome back.

If you need anything, let me know.

-Yeah?

-Yeah,

I'll see you around.

You're sure he's there, right?

Yes, sir. My source is positive.

Okay, let's go. Be careful.

I don't want too much drama.

Okay, sir.

Hey, there.

Does this road lead to Dziluke?

No, it's this way.

Chuba,

how are you?

Sir, I think you are mistaken.

Spare me the trouble.

We need to talk. Let's go.

What have you done to him?

Who'll answer questions in the court?

Have you even heard of legal processes?

I've read your record.

Twelve deaths in custody in two years.

Get out.

Hello, Chuba.

I'm Yatish Chawla.

I'm the lead investigator of David Khuzou

and Gautam Kulkarni's murders.

Vineet, get him some water.

-And, something to eat as well, please.

-Sure, sir.

Relax, Chuba.

Now tell me,

why did Stephen order the hit on

David Khuzou and Gautam Kulkarni?

I don't understand

what you're saying, sir.

I'm just a poor farmer.

I live in Polwa village.

You're quite an advanced

'poor' person.

In the last three days, 11 calls have been

made from your number

to a satellite phone.

In my village, not too many

people have phones, sir.

Everyone uses mine.

One of them must have done it.

This is CCTV footage of you.

37 minutes before the attack,

you were following David Khuzou's convoy.

Look, Chuba.

Tell me the truth.

I'm not like that cop, Khersa.

I don't have

any intention to torture you.

I just need your help.

In exchange, I'm ready

to give you whatever you need.

Sir, I've seen this

'good cop-bad cop' game a lot.

I am not that nice a guy.

Andrea.

She's your daughter, right?

Beautiful girl.

She studies in Bangalore?

Does she know what her dad does?

Tell me the truth, Chuba.

Sir,

it's true that I was following

David sir that day,

but we didn't attack them.

Some other group wore MCA-S uniforms

and attacked them to frame us.

Oh, really?

You followed them,

but someone else attacked them.

While wearing your uniforms.

What a coincidence, Chuba!

I don't know anything else, sir.

I'm telling the truth.

Hello,

do you have eyes on Andrea?

They're standing outside DRS College,

waiting for my order.

Should I have her picked up?

My grandfather and I had the same goals,

but our methods were very different.

He tried in his way.

Tried very hard.

He did what he could.

And see what happened!

What happened?

He lost his life.

Now it's time to try it my way.

Sir,

they're over here.

You cover us from above,

we'll head down.

Okay, sir.

Some media sources are saying that

you and the MCA-S are responsible

for your grandfather's murder.

We have nothing to do with this attack.

Someone is trying to

frame me and the MCA-S.

Some random people wore our uniform

and staged this attack.

They want the whole world

to blame us for the attack,

but we will prove everybody wrong.

-Do you have any evidence to prove this?

-We are standing in front of you.

We don't have time

for any more questions.

Thank you.

-The pigs are here. We must leave. Now!

-But why?

Chuba has become an approver.

And you are charged with conspiracy

to kill the chief of NIA and David Khuzou.

In our land,

until those holding the gun to our heads

and our people share

the same freedom and rights,

we will not rest.

Stephen!

-You go ahead.

-You sure?

Yes. You cover him.

Go.

Let's go.

Alert all the agencies, Stephen Khuzou

is now an officially wanted criminal.

Hey, Atharv!

How's it going?

Why have you called me to school?

Some boys are bullying me

pretty badly.

They're making horrid

comments about everyone.

Mom, Dhriti.

Please can you threaten

them and beat them up?

Beat them up? Why?

That's not the solution to everything.

But at least do something.

Find a solution, please.

-Now.

-Now?

Seriously?

This is your solution?

Talking to the Principal.

Your dad would've done the same.

My dad had brought a bulldozer with him.

What?! When?

-Why?

-Hi, Atharv.

-Hi.

-I'll see you at practice?

-Yeah.

-Okay.

Who's she?

A friend of mine. Ameira.

Dancing Queen, what do you think?

Did I get it right?

Come, let's practice some more.

Hey.

Who's this?

'Dancing queen' has

brought a bodyguard.

His own 'The Incredible Hulk.'

Impressive.

Is he your uncle?

Uncle,

if 'Dancing queen' bothers you,

how's 'Baby doll' instead?

What the…

Listen, kids. Behave.

Or else?

Or else Uncle will beat us up.

Uncle, you know, right?

You can't do that anymore.

In your time, your teachers and parents

must have spanked you a lot,

but now, you can't even touch us.

If you do,

it'll be a case of child abuse.

And you'll go straight to prison.

Understood, Uncle?

Atharv,

show these idiots

that you are your father's son.

One slap and he'll be on his knees.

I'm with you.

Go for it.

Do it.

Atharv.

Loser, looks like I have to

teach you this as well.

That is not how you hit someone.

You do it like this!

What an idiot.

He fell down.

Are you okay, child?

I can understand children being immature,

but you're a grown-up, Mr…

JK.

Mr. JK.

Just JK.

Next time, ask your father to come.

Mr. Tiwari is such a nice gentleman.

I can hardly believe that

he is your father's friend.

Ma'am, it's not my fault.

Atharv hit me,

and then I tried to run away,

and then this uncle tripped me.

Yes, ma'am, he is telling the truth.

They're lying, ma'am.

He started the fight.

I didn't do anything.

Meet me outside.

Ma'am, look what he said,

"Meet me outside, moron.

I'll pulverize you."

-What's this pulverize?

-I didn't say that.

Stop it, all of you!

This is not acceptable at all.

Ma'am, kids are being kids.

Why should we adults interfere?

One kid hit another kid.

So, the other kid hit him back.

Case dismissed.

Send them off to do their homework.

Right, ma'am?

Suchi, at least he came to help me.

This is not called help.

You are suspended!

Do you even realize that?

-Suchi…

-JK, please.

Sorry.

I…

What happened to you?

I won't be going to college anymore.

Why?

The student union demanded my suspension

from the college management

because of some

anti-national activities.

They put pressure on the principal, too.

Dad, I don't think you

can sort it out this time.

I'm also suspended, sis. Don't worry.

We can both stay at home.

Atharv,

this isn't the time to make jokes.

I'm not joking, Suchi.

These are facts.

On the plus side, we'll learn

how to do our chores.

Listen, everyone.

Listen carefully.

As a family,

this is a very challenging

time for all of us.

We'll have to fight this like a team.

So now, I've made some rules.

No one will leave this house.

No one will use their

mobile or the internet.

Both of you give me your phones.

Take their phones.

Sorry.

I made your problems worse.

Sri, what do we do now?

I don't know.

I really don't know.

Nothing is making any sense.

And things are getting messier

by the minute.

That was the call of

a Rose-ringed parakeet.

-Hello, Martin.

-Major.

Of course, you might be wondering

what the big deal is about a parakeet.

But let me tell you.

Do you know the legendary

rock guitarist Jimi Hendrix?

When he lived in Mayfair in the 1960s,

he released two rose-ringed

parakeets from his flat.

This is the species that

roams wild in London parks today.

They're non-migratory,

and we believe that

the parakeets of London

originated from Hendrix's pets.

Trust an Englishman to beat around

the bush before diving into business.

So, were you able to dig up more on her?

Of course.

And guess who your girl

Meera visited last week?

Dwaraknath.

The Indian billionaire?

She spent over an hour with him,

so there's definitely something afoot.

Why was she meeting him?

No idea.

I have a bad feeling about this.

The word on the street is that she's done

business with the CIA before.

So,

you might have a little word

with your friend Bruce.

Bruce Lennington?

How many Bruces at the CIA do you know?

Come on.

Thanks, brother.

Thanks for your help.

You remember?

You guys sent me to beat up

that dwarf villager?

Shut up!

He wasn't a dwarf.

Champo is a dwarf.

Hello.

Rukma,

Major Sameer.

Oh wow! The great Sameer

calls me directly.

Of course. To congratulate

you on completing the job.

Well done, Rukma.

The client is very happy with your work.

Your account has been settled?

Yes, it has.

Good.

Don't ever work

for this client ever again.

-Meaning?

-Meaning,

I know I got you this job, but now,

I'm telling you to cut all

ties with this client.

Listen, if you need money,

I have other work for you as well.

In the meantime,

stay away from this client.

I've informed Rabbit as well.

Is that an order or friendly advice?

Whatever suits you.

Listen, Sameer.

I'm telling you this respectfully.

Take your orders or advice,

wrap them up nicely,

and shove them

where the sun doesn't shine.

I have stopped taking orders

ever since I left the BPF.

Besides, it's no longer about the money.

It's personal.

Sorry, Sri.

Can't believe that they

took you off the case.

Fuckers!

Relax, buddy.

It's okay.

It's just that so much has happened,

all at once.

How are Ma'am and Dhriti, sir?

They're managing.

Sorry, guys. I'm late.

I was on a date with this girl,

and we got carried away talking.

I completely lost track of time.

Shaadi.com?

Yes.

Today's girl came with her mom.

It took me a minute to

figure out which one was my date.

We're meeting again on the weekend--

Are you done?

My life is falling apart,

and you're dating girls,

and their moms?

Sorry, bro.

Okay, tell us.

What did you want to talk about?

Look, guys.

Things are going to get worse.

I need your help.

Tell us what we can do.

First, we need to find out

who all accessed

the Northeast project file

on the TASC system.

Okay. I can dig around and find out, sir.

Yatish and his team have

taken over the entire TASC system.

If we access any sensitive file,

they'll immediately get to know.

We'll have to use backdoor methods.

Are you asking me to

hack into our own system?

Cool.

Will you be able to get the data?

Do you have any doubts?

I don't know.

He only barks, doesn't bite.

So much mistrust.

Look, guys.

I know this is very risky.

If any of you don't

want to get involved,

I can completely understand.

Come on, man! We won't let

you be the only hero.

-We owe it to Kulkarni sir.

-Yes.

To Kulkarni sir.

-To Kulkarni sir.

-To Kulkarni sir.

JK, Ajit,

you must always be alert.

If anything abnormal happens

in the office, inform me.

I want you guys to be my eyes and ears.

-Sure.

-Yes.

-All of you.

-Yes.

JK?

JK, I'm discussing something important.

I got an important

text from my bank.

They're asking me to update my KYC.

Hold on!

I hope you didn't click on the link.

I did it already.

Shit.

My God, JK.

What'll happen!

What the hell! How did you do this!?

See? I bark and also bite!

Give it back.

It'll look great on the site.

Saw how fast I hacked your phone?

Fuck!

I'm gonna save the world,

along with these guys.

One repeat, please.

Punit.

-Oh God!

-Hey!

Relax.

Don't do that, Ajit.

Why are you in so early?

Oh!

-Carry on. Do you need anything?

-No, thank you.

Finally. Thank God.

Okay.

Where are you off to?

Delhi.

I have a meeting with the PM.

Sounds ridiculous, Sri.

At least make an effort when you lie.

I'm telling the truth,

and it sounds ridiculous.

When I lie, it's believable.

Okay, bye.

Bye, clown.

Where are you going?

Delhi.

Yeah, right.

All three of us will stay home.

Don't worry.

Not like we have an option,

two are suspended, and one is canceled.

Don't cry, drama queen.

Bloody hell…

My phone--

Hey!

Are you out of your fucking mind?

What are you doing here?

Are you following me?

Why did you throw my phone?

JK, your phone is bugged.

Yes. Sit down.

Please.

My phone is bugged?

Who did this?

It must be you.

Who else would do such

creepy things?

-All our phones are bugged.

-What?

Which is why I had to fake

a date, just to meet you.

So, Sanika isn't going to come?

I am Sanika.

Someone has hacked the TASC system.

-What?

-Yes.

Have you informed Sharma?

How can I?

I'm not supposed to

access the system, remember?

Not only that.

I did some more digging.

Look at this.

This is the data from the online

hate campaign against Dhriti and Ma'am.

This is not some organic outrage.

This is a well-coordinated campaign,

most likely by some IT cell.

Why would anyone do this?

I don't know.

To top it all, they bugged my phone.

Fuck!

For now, make do with this. Okay?

-One for you and one for Srikant sir.

-A poor phone.

Meet Srikant sir, and

then contact me immediately.

I need to tell Srikant sir

something, and it is very urgent.

May I come in, sir?

Yeah.

Forensic analysis reports, sir.

We found the traitor.

We need an arrest warrant.

Thank you.

Show me your card, sir.

I am JK Talpade from

a government agency.

One of my colleagues is inside

and I have to meet him urgently.

It's a matter of national security.

Can you please help me?

Give me your phone.

What are you doing?

Take a hint.

Quiet.

Keep it there.

Even Punit threw my

phone in the trash.

He says all our phones are bugged.

Do one thing.

Talk to Punit.

Hello, Srikant sir.

Yes, Punit.

Like you asked me,

I hacked into our system.

I checked all the data regarding

Project Sahakar,

but I didn't find anything.

So I started digging around

some employee files, too.

And?

And, sir, I found out how the

attackers were tracking your movements.

How?

From your convoy, the attackers

were getting a continuous signal.

Who was sending the signal?

Sir…

it was you.

What?

How can that be possible?

Have you fucking gone mad?

Sir, I double-checked to make sure.

The signal was being

transmitted by your phone.

Your phone was compromised.

But my phone was switched off!

I was following protocol.

It doesn't matter, sir.

Whoever did this

was using advanced spyware.

The phone keeps working

even if it's switched off.

In fact, I think

it's not just your phone.

The phones of other TASC agents

have been compromised as well.

But on that day,

the attackers were tracking your phone.

That's how they had

your exact location, sir.

Sir, listen to me.

An arrest warrant has

been issued against you.

Yatish and his team will be

reaching the airport any minute now.

Ajit heard Yatish

informing Sharma sir.

They want to bring

you in for questioning.

Hello?

Srikant is still

at the boarding gate, sir.

We can call airport security

and have him detained.

Yes, so that the whole world finds out

that the NIA is hunting one of their own.

I don't want any drama.

Okay, sir.

Drive fast.

Remaining passengers

are requested to proceed

immediately to gate 84.

This is the final boarding call

for flight FN456 to New Delhi,

now boarding at gate 84.

Hurry up.

Let's go.

-NIA.

-Go ahead.

Attention passengers.

This is the final boarding call

for flight number FN456,

departing for New Delhi.

All the remaining passengers

are requested to proceed immediately

to gate 84.

The aircraft is ready for departure.

Sorry, sorry.

Excuse me. Sorry.

Open the gate.

Sir, the boarding is closed.

Open the bloody gate.

Sir, the plane is already taxiing.

I cannot do that.

I'm sorry.

We have an arrest warrant

for a person on that plane.

We need to stop that damn flight.

I don't have the

authority to do that, sir.

You'll have to talk to the ATC.

We don't have the time for that.

Please open the door.

-Sir, please try to understand.

-Sir.

She's right, sir.

The plane is already on the runway.

Srikant's location is also the same.

Call Delhi.

Send a team and grab him at the airport.

Okay, sir.

Is this a good idea, JK?

Why are we running away like criminals?

What have we done?

Atharv,

-the stairs.

-Oh.

Give me this.

This is exciting.

Finally, we are all in the spy world.

Yes, it's great. Now, hurry.

Did you find anything?

No…

-Call him.

-Okay, sir.

Yeah?

Srikant Tiwari never got on that flight.

Only his phone did.

Where's his family?

Track their phones.

Sure, sir.

JK,

what did you do with our phones?

What happened, sir?

Where are your passengers?

Which passengers?

That family. Where are they?

I don't know anything.

Sir.

IDs?

Don't be so sad, Dad.

Look at me.

I am also suspended,

but I'm still happy.

As if you like going to school.

Both of our situations are the same.

I am telling you

that we will both bounce back.

I miss my phone.

Try doing a social media detox.

-Look who's talking!

-The TC is coming here.

One second.

Here.

Take this.

What is this?

Take it.

Wow.

Dad, do we also have fake passports?

What if we have to flee the country?

Can you turn your volume down?

Everybody doesn't need to know.

Shriya.

Really? Was this the best

you could come up with?

Even my name sucks.

Suman!

-Isn't that a girl's name?

-Why were you ready with fake IDs?

Did you know all of

this was going to happen?

Mutthalagu?

Really?

Anja-ne-yulu?

What kind of name is this?

It's a fake ID.

Once it does its job,

we can just get rid of them.

Show me yours.

Wow!

Rahul!

Why do you get to be a movie star?

Mine sounds so made up.

Please shut up.

Understood.

IDs.

Sir.

Hey!

Are you from Chittoor?

Yes… Chittoor.

I am also from Chittoor.

Myself, Maridesh Babu.

Are you from proper Chittoor?

Yes, absolutely. Proper.

Where do you live in Chittoor? Address?

Address?

Mahatma Gandhi Road.

-Mahatma Gandhi.

-Oh!

Gandhi Road.

Yes.

It's been years since I had

Chittoor Palakova from Vijaya Dairy.

It is amazing.

Is Vijaya Dairy still open?

Yes.

-You don't know Telugu?

-What?

You don't speak Telugu?

The thing is, Maridesh, my--

Babu.

Maridesh Babu.

In Telugu,

saying 'Babu' is very important.

Mahesh Babu. Mohan Babu.

Naga Babu. Chandra Babu.

Sorry, 'Babu'. Got it.

So the thing is, Maridesh Babu,

when I was in the 4th grade.

I was--

Suspended.

He got suspended in primary school?!

He did something really messed up.

I can't tell you what it is.

So please don't ask.

No, no. Please don't ask.

Okay.

Enough, all right.

Enough damage has been

done to my reputation.

It's all right.

It's all right.

Yes, Anjaneyulu,

we accept you the way you are.

It's fine.

May Lord Venkatachalapati

help this Anjaneyulu!

And what do you do, Rahul?

I'm a life and relationship counselor.

-Is that a real job?

-Yes. Life and Relationship coach.

Why don't you coach your friend, sir?

I've spent half my life doing just that.

But what a strange coincidence, right?

That your hometown is Chittoor.

You could have just as

easily been from Agra, Nagpur…

But, no, you are from Chittoor itself.

Right?

Anjaneyulu.

You are very lucky to have

such a gentleman as a friend.

And you have a beautiful family.

It was very nice meeting you, sir.

-Okay, bye, sir. Happy journey.

-Bye. Take care.

Wow! That was so cool, Dad.

You are such an expert at lying.

You can take the next question.

Yes, you.

Geeta Gautam. INBC.

Besides banning Chinese-funded apps,

does your government have any

other solid plans to stop the enemy?

I can't divulge secrets pertaining

to national security to you, can I now?

But, ma'am, head of MCA-S, Stephen Khuzou,

outwitted the police and

escaped right in front of the media.

Do you have anything to say about that?

I apologize,

I wasn't able to go and

personally arrest Stephen Khuzou.

Mr. Kulkarni…

was a dear friend of mine…

and also a decorated soldier

of the country.

We'll bring his murderers

to justice very soon.

Our agencies are working night

and day on this.

And I have complete faith in them.

I have made big promises out there,

but has the investigation

moved forward at all?

We are making progress, ma'am.

Some arrests have been made.

We are combing the Northeast

to find Stephen Khuzou.

And like you said,

he will very soon be in our custody.

And Srikant Tiwari?

Wasn't I supposed to meet him?

Ma’am, this month is completely packed.

I'm trying to find

a window for that meeting.

Please make this meeting a priority.

Okay. I'll try to fix

a time as soon as possible.

-Varaprasad…

-Ma'am.

What do I do with this circus?

Social media has entirely

changed the optics.

Now, we really have to do something.

What do I do?

Should I go to the border myself,

to fight a war?

-No, no, ma'am. That is not what I meant.

-Actually, that's not a bad idea, ma'am.

You should tour that region yourself.

And like Varaprasad said,

the people there should feel that

no matter what happens,

you stand with them.

Yes, ma'am. That's a great idea.

It's good for your image.

What are you doing here?

Don't you know how to play football?

-Hey, Champo!

-Yes, bhai.

Take him with you

and teach him football.

-Okay, bhai.

-Run along.

Bobby, come here.

-Hello.

-Rukma.

Who's speaking?

Rabbit said you wanted

to talk to the client.

Yes.

Put your boss on the line.

I don't talk to secretaries.

I am the boss. Tell me,

what do you want to talk about?

No wonder!

It's a circus out here.

Get to the point.

Absolutely.

I am getting to the point, madam.

I was told right from the start

that under no circumstances

would I be implicated.

But I have been.

Those bastards brought

an entire army to my house.

I know. That was unfortunate.

Unfortunate? What does that mean?!

Someone from your side

ratted me out to the cops.

This is your fuck up,

so you need to find out which

dumbfuck ratted me out.

At the time of the attack,

you left one man alive.

That man is now a pain

in everybody's neck.

And I am the one cleaning up

after your mess.

So this is your fuck up.

If anyone spoke to me

like this to my face,

I would've shot them in the ass.

Really?

Long before your mom

started wiping your little ass,

I was fucking up bigger

men than you.

So please wave your

alpha male flag somewhere else

and get to the business at hand.

Your Hindi is as good as mine.

If only my English were at par

with yours,

they'd have made a

web series on me by now.

We should meet.

We should meet, madam.

Check your account.

I've just transferred

half a million pounds.

For what?

For the next part of the plan.

What do you mean by 'the next part'?

And who decided the price?

This is just an advance.

The remaining will be sent

according to the price you say.

Just like that,

without any negotiations?

My time is more valuable than money.

And this job is even more

crucial than the last one.

All right.

But this time, I'll work

with only my boys.

And yes, don't forget

your end of the bargain.

I want a name.

No matter what.

No matter who it is.

He killed my wife.

Wife?

What do you mean by 'wife'?

'Wife' means wife.

Oh.

I thought… I'm sorry.

I don't need your 'sorry'.

I want a name.

Srikant Tiwari.

Srikant Tiwari!

But I am handling this.

You will have your revenge.

You have my word.

Were you up all night?

I've been thinking about Kareem.

Kareem?

You and I both know

that Kareem was innocent.

But in the eyes of the world,

he was a terrorist.

And now, in God's little game of life,

my family and I

are now anti-nationals, traitors,

in the eyes of the world.

What happened with Kareem…

was not your fault alone.

It was because of all of us.

And we felt terrible about it back then,

we still do, and we always will.

But it's pointless

to wallow in the past now.

Think of the future.

-We have to catch that bastard Rukma--

-Rukma is just a pawn, Talpade.

A much bigger game is afoot here.

And Kulkarni sir's murder

was just the start.

There's someone out there,

someone very powerful.

They hacked the TASC system,

tracked my phone,

and manipulated the media

to target me and my family.

I'll be honest.

It's been a long time

since I felt terrified like this.

Not for myself.

Not for myself.

We knew before signing up

for the job that

the line between life

and death is just a bullet.

And that fucking bullet can come from

anywhere and bite you in the ass.

I'm worried for my family.

They've been dragged into this.

The poor things have unnecessarily…

I'm on the run

with my wife and two little kids.

If anything happens to them…

"You always think so negatively!"

You used to tell me this, Tiwari.

Now, why are you being

so bloody negative?

Everything will be all right.

Wait and watch.

Srikant Tiwari. Suchitra Tiwari.

JK Talpade.

Get their bank details

and track their transactions,

credit cards, debit cards,

UPI transactions, all of it.

Sir, we've scanned the entire system.

It was a full clean sweep.

There's nothing there.

We went to their house

as well, but didn't find anything.

Come on, Vineet, give me something.

Sir, we have this list.

These are a bunch of IDs that have

been issued to Srikant by the department.

And these are JK's IDs, sir.

Upload all of these IDs to the

Railway Police database and alert them.

Also, inform NHAI.

I want them to tap all the toll booths

and bus stations on the way out of Mumbai.

And if the CCTVs pick up anything,

I want to know immediately.

Srikant sir won't use

department-issued IDs.

And you are?

Zoya Ali. Analyst, TASC.

Yatish.

These are Srikant Tiwari's unofficial IDs.

There's a chance that he will use

one of these.

They won't be in the system.

I thought everyone in this

office was a fan of Srikant Tiwari.

I'm not.

Run these as well.

On it, sir.

Nice shot.

Sameer.

Long time, no see.

You look exactly the same.

And you've gotten younger, man.

What can I say? Divorce suits me.

Do the Chinese know you are here?

Nobody knows.

Sounds serious.

What can I do for you?

Let's go for a walk.

She's hot.

Don't know who she is but…

Maybe you can find out about her.

Why would I do that?

I have something that

may be of interest to you.

Oh, I'm all ears.

I can get you a list of Chinese

sleeper cells operating in America.

The hackers who hacked

into the Pentagon systems?

They are not just hackers, Bruce.

These are Chinese students

who came to American universities

and later spread

to Silicon Valley tech companies.

They work in cells that

operate independently.

And now, they are waging a silent war

against America on American soil.

You've been hunting for

these phoenixes for what,

a decade now?

All right.

I guess we could help each other out.

I'll see what I can find out about Meera.

What?

I never mentioned her name, Bruce.

While the Basu government is

all set to visit Nagaland,

the opposition parties are questioning

the timing of the visit.

Is this just for optics?

Ma'am, this is your itinerary.

A grand rally has been arranged

for your welcome in Kohima.

As soon as you land, we'll visit

the rally grounds straight away.

The CM and other dignitaries

will meet you there.

Here is a draft of your speech.

Sorry to interrupt, ma'am.

But this is important.

-Take a seat.

-Thank you.

Do you want some tea?

No.

What is it?

Srikant Tiwari is wanted

for questioning in Kulkarni's case.

What?

So it is no longer possible

to schedule a meeting with him.

We can arrange a backdoor meeting, right?

I've heard he's an expert

on the matters of the northeast.

-Right, Mr. Sambit?

-He's a wanted man now.

There's an arrest warrant

issued in his name,

and he's absconding.

We are trying to trace him.

Until they don't find him

or he doesn't surrender,

there is nothing we can do.

Sir,

Zoya was right.

We got a hit on one of the IDs she gave.

-Are you sure?

-Yes, sir.

I ran a pattern search on all

the IDs and discovered that

he booked train tickets using this ID,

for Valluvan Express.

Srikant is going to Chennai, sir.

Call the RPF,

tell them to get him

at the next stop.

Yes, sir.

Seven.

-It's your turn.

-Color change.

Plus two.

What the hell!

-Five.

-Five.

Here's a skip.

I'm changing the color again.

Yellow.

Plus four.

What?

-I have a lot of them.

-One sec.

No problem.

Sis, will you join us?

Your sister is a grown-up now.

What happened? Are you hungry?

Dad,

can I ask you something?

Yes.

Why are you and Mom separating?

Dhriti, we can't talk about this now.

Okay?

Dad, please.

-I am not a kid anymore.

-Really?

You know I can handle it.

Tell me.

My child,

marriage is…

really complicated.

Sometimes, no matter how hard you try,

you can't fix it.

Dad, please.

Just tell me how it became a mess?

I married her,

but I was never really present.

From the wedding to taking

care of both our kids,

Suchi did everything on her own.

She did her share and my share.

I kept working, out in the world.

But I wasn't able to fulfill

my responsibilities towards my family.

If any one of us is at fault,

it is me!

Thank God.

What do you mean by 'Thank God'?!

I thought you and…

What?

I thought one of you cheated

on the other.

What rubbish do you think about us!

No. I'm sorry.

I didn't really think like that,

but I just--

It's okay. It's all right.

It's all right.

-I already have a stack of cards.

-And the color changes to yellow.

Hold on.

Hold on.

I see that you've also grown up.

What was the name of your girlfriend?

Ameira.

Ameira, right?

She's not my girlfriend.

She's just my senior, JK. Nothing else.

Yeah, right.

Can I ask you another thing?

Again?

When you have a job like this,

why did you marry at all?

Why not?

Don't the people who fight for

the country deserve to have a family?

And anyway, I'd decided

that I would never marry.

But when I saw Suchi for the first time,

all those resolutions

flew right out the window.

Then?

Then we got married pretty quickly.

And within a year, we had you.

You guys were fast, huh?

Very fast.

Feels like it was yesterday.

Okay, done now? Goodnight.

Go, sleep.

Go.

Go.

-Dad?

-What is it?

Why are you guys separating?

Why can't you just talk and sort it out?

Honey, that ship has sailed.

You won't understand.

JK.

Can you keep a secret

between us, the single boys?

I know that you have a crush

on Ameira.

So, please tell me how to talk to her.

Every time I walk up to

her to tell her how I feel,

nothing comes out of my mouth.

I'm really tired of being a loser, JK.

I want to be an alpha, JK.

Like macho.

Girls like these 'alpha'

kinda boys, right?

Listen. These macho men you see

in the movies…

Don't believe that shit, okay?

In real life,

a hero cares about everybody.

Takes responsibility

for everybody's safety.

Like your dad.

Like me.

I don't know.

I think I'll ghost her.

I'll let her wonder

why Atharv isn't talking to me properly.

Alphas operate like that, right?

That is called being a fucker, Atharv,

not an alpha.

Hey!

You stay out of it.

Two boys are talking here.

Classic.

Two single guys discussing

what girls want.

She was secretly listening

to what we were talking about.

You should have noticed!

Sorry, my focus was

on my bread omelet.

-I'm sorry.

-What a spy you are, JK!

-Which one?

-A1, sir.

He shouldn't escape.

There it is.

Sir, seats 25 and 26.

It's up ahead.

-Sorry, sir.

-What?

Mother promise,

I won't drink on the train again.

Hindi.

I don't speak Hindi, sir.

These guys hate it

when someone is happy.

Is it your seat?

Not our seat, sir.

Empty, so sitting.

Yes?

Sir, we checked.

It's not them.

Srikant Tiwari wasn't on that train.

Of course, he knew that we'd

look at his unofficial IDs as well.

He was one of us!

He keeps fooling us,

and we keep falling for it.

Twice now!

Don't stand around

staring at my face.

Someone find me a fucking

lead so we can nail this bastard.

Look, I'm sorry.

It's my mistake.

I should've known better.

Even after working with him for

so long, I still didn't realize…

I'll do better next time, okay?

I'm really sorry.

Honestly, the last few

days have been quite stressful.

And I took it all out on my team.

I shouldn't have lost

my cool, and I'm sorry.

So…

Zoya Ali from Lucknow.

A computer science graduate.

And right after graduating,

you joined TASC.

You were looking up my profile?

You are now joining

us in this investigation,

so it's important to find things out.

I have to know your history,

your expertise,

etc., etc.

Etc, etc.

I really need someone

who knows Srikant well.

And no one from this

office is likely to volunteer.

I have to give it to

your Srikant sir.

Guy's got spunk.

Yeah.

That's why people are

ready to give their lives for him.

Finished your workout?

I didn't come here for a workout.

Do you have what I asked for?

Do you?

There's a drive in the locker

with a classified ISI report

on embedded Chinese spies in California.

Students, techies, start-ups…

The American version of Guan Yu.

That's helpful.

All right. Meera Eston.

She's the perfect person for the job,

I used to work with her.

Now she's working for Dwarakanath,

the NRI billionaire.

But you knew all that.

Dwarakanath is fronting a

defense deal for The Collective.

They want India to sign a major deal.

You'll find everything you need in there.

What is The Collective?

You want me to spell out

everything for you?

Ask your people,

they know exactly who The Collective is.

What you should be asking yourself…

is what is the nature of this deal?

-Sir.

-Yes?

I've got a lead.

This time it's concrete.

This morning on the Seven Sisters

Superfast Express train to Guwahati,

someone pulled the chain mid-journey,

near some village in Assam.

Two men, one woman, and two

children got off the train.

We sent photographs to the TC

and he identified them.

It was Srikant's family.

And JK was with him as well.

I can't believe Srikant sir

has got his family involved as well.

People can go to any lengths

to save their lives, Zoya.

Okay, but why would they go to Guwahati?

He isn't going to Guwahati.

He's going to Nagaland.

And so are we.

Are you noticing this, Mom?

What?

He went straight

to her car and sat there.

He didn't even check with us.

They must be talking about work.

It's fine.

Mom.

You're so innocent.

Are you saying that Dad

and Saloni have some sort of--

-Shut up, Atharv!

-Shut up, Atharv!

What's the situation out here, Saloni?

It's still very volatile.

And now there's a new complication.

The PM is visiting.

What?

In this tense situation?

It's too risky.

Anyway, I'm not surprised.

The PM doesn't really

listen to anyone, anyway.

So, let's go straight

to the PM and meet her.

What do you say, Tiwari?

Do you think the PM

will meet a man on the run?

No. You're right.

How's your family coping with all this?

Must be tough on the children.

It is tough, Saloni.

They don't say much,

but they don't have to.

I've been reassuring

them the whole way here that

we'll be out of this mess in no time.

But the truth is, even I don't know

when or how that will happen.

Hello.

All set?

Do you have everything you need?

At least say 'hello', madam.

You get right to the point,

military style.

Hello, Mr. Rukma.

How's everything going?

All well?

I'm fine.

Thank you.

Happy now?

So…

All set?

Do you have everything you need?

Yes.

Careful. In two days,

the entire unit will be there.

Right, but what about my job?

Did you find--

Srikant Tiwari!

We left no stone unturned

when it comes to ruining his life.

We've targeted his entire family.

We had them branded as anti-national.

We had him suspended.

He is also the prime

suspect in Kulkarni's murder.

He's forced to go underground.

Underground?

Where is he?

There is an arrest warrant against him.

His own people are hunting him down.

So, basically what you're telling me

is that…

Srikant Tiwari is out of your radar.

Correct?

Can I say something

if you won't mind?

-Carry on.

-You haven't done shit.

Yet, you talk

as if you struck gold.

You are sharp.

Top class! Right?

Let me remind you.

You work for me.

I pay you for that.

So, watch your mouth.

Looks like you took that personally.

I already told you,

“Don’t take it to heart.”

Get the job done.

Stick to the plan.

Fucking hell!

Do you have a permit?

Show it to me, please?

They have the party permit.

Let them pass.

Dad. Dad…

I want an ice lolly.

I'm not your dad.

And ice lollies are terrible.

Come.

Let's go.

One ice lolly.

I don't know what is in this.

It's just ice with some

color on it to trick kids.

Welcome to Nagaland.

Welcome to Nagaland.

Is your real name Bobby,

or is it a nickname?

No, it's my real name.

Bobby McFerrin.

'Mcfie,' what?

Bobby McFerrin.

Was McFerrin your father?

Then?

Your name and your

face don't match, do they?

Haven't you heard that song?

Don't worry, be happy.

It was my mom's favorite song.

I haven't heard it.

-Give me one more.

-Yes.

-Finished your ice cream?

-Yes, I have.

This is my friend's house.

He is posted in Kashmir

and has taken his family along.

-Atharv…

-You all can stay here for a while.

Thank you, Saloni.

Okay.

Listen to me, guys.

JK and I are going

to stay somewhere else.

What?

But, Sri--

It's not sensible for

me to stay with you all here.

Do you mean like a safe house?

Then, I'm coming with you.

Don't even think about it?

Go to your room quietly.

Sri…

Sri, why can't you live with us?

-I mean--

-Suchi, I have no idea

about what comes next.

And Saloni is there

to take care of you all.

Atharv.

Let's go.

-JK and I will wait outside.

-Okay.

Let's go, JK.

Sri…

Dhriti and I had a long chat

on the train yesterday.

And?

She was asking me…

why we are separating.

What did you…

I told her…

that I was never emotionally available

to your mom.

And it's all my fault.

Sri…

Sri, what are you doing here?

You don't need to do this.

It's important.

Not so long ago,

you were almost killed.

Why are you risking

your life again?

-Suchi, please understand.

-Dammit, Sri! Why don't you understand?

What do you want me to do?!

Do you want me to run and hide?

You know what Kulkarni sir

meant to me.

And those bastards,

in front of my eyes…

This time…

it's personal.

And us?

I'll come back.

I promise.

And…

This…

Keep this phone with you.

I'll call every morning between

nine and twelve.

Keep the phone switched

off at all other times.

Use it only in an emergency.

Please.

Take care.

Sir.

Bhasky.

-Welcome back, sir.

-Thank you.

-How are you?

-All good, sir.

-All good at home?

-Yes, sir.

Good.

What's the update?

You must've heard that

the PM is coming to Nagaland.

We think that Srikant Tiwari

will try to meet the PM at that rally.

It's not very likely,

but Srikant is desperate, sir.

Do one thing.

Call the commissioner.

We have to discuss the

PM's security plan. Okay?

On it, sir.

All right, everybody,

-we'll regroup in 15 minutes.

-Okay.

You okay?

Yes, I'm fine.

Hopefully, we won't have to

stay here too long.

That's optimistic.

James will come here tomorrow.

He'll drive you around.

So,

what's the plan?

We have to find Stephen

as fast as possible.

It's not going to be so easy, Sri.

Rumor has it that he's

crossed into Myanmar.

I am trying to locate him,

but no luck so far.

Wonder where that

bastard is hiding.

Any other thoughts?

I have some other old contacts,

I can try talking to them.

Maybe one of them--

I know all of them as well, Sri.

They are my contacts as well.

Some are dead, some are in jail,

and the rest have gone missing.

We are going to have

to try a new approach.

What about any of

Stephens's known associates?

After Chuba's arrest,

all of Stephen's remaining

men have gone underground.

So,

we hit a dead end.

Okay, I'm off.

Sri, JK.

Be careful.

Sleep with one eye open.

Thank you, Saloni.

Who's this?

Has the PM landed?

A while ago.

The convoy is en route.

The Prime Minister's convoy

is on its way to the rally site.

There is excitement in the air.

A large crowd has gathered

to see the Prime Minister.

You are watching live from Kohima,

where this marks Prime Minister Basu's

second visit to the region--

Ready?

You know what you have to do?

Which school do you go to?

Shiksha Vandan Vidyalaya.

What will you do when you go there?

I'll go stand in line

with the other kids there.

And then?

I'll hide this bag there.

Do you know the spot?

And then after that?

-I'll come back.

-Yes, you'll come back.

-How?

-I'll run.

To who?

-To Dad.

-To Dad…

Good boy.

Let's go.

Keep moving.

Keep moving.

Vineet, any update?

Nothing so far, sir.

I don't think Srikant sir

will try to meet the PM in the middle

of this ongoing rally.

I mean, he's not that stupid.

You're probably right.

But we can't risk it.

Come, children, one by one.

Indeed it is, the Prime Minister's--

Oh, sorry.

Are you lost?

Where are your parents?

Oh, Okay.

Hundreds of people have gathered

in their traditional attire,

just to get a glimpse

of the Prime Minister--

Should've been here by now.

What is it?

This bomb will only go off

when I hit the button, right?

Yes, but be careful.

Keep your phone screen

locked all the time.

If you pocket dial by mistake,

it'll explode.

Tell me straight up.

If I don't hit the button,

it won't explode, right?

It shouldn't.

What do you mean by 'it shouldn't'?

Does that mean it could?

If you make the call,

it'll explode. Simple.

And could it explode

if the bag shakes a lot?

What are you trying to find out?

Why are you asking so many questions?

I need you to give me a guarantee

that if I don't hit the button,

the bomb won't explode.

It's a bomb!

It doesn't come with a guarantee.

Fucker.

At any moment, the convoy will be here.

Look at the excitement

and happiness on people's--

How much time till the PM arrives?

Seven to eight minutes, bhai.

Ten minutes at the most.

This is a historic moment

for the people of Naga--

Dad?

Dad?

Five minutes, bhai.

Can you see them?

No.

The PM's convoy should be here any minute.

Where are they?

Call him.

There are only a few minutes left.

Get out of there.

I can't find Bobby.

Bhai, leave him.

The PM will be arriving any minute.

You must leave now.

Bobby!

Where did you disappear?

I told you to run back to me!

I couldn't find the gate, Dad.

I got scared.

The PM is here.

PM Basu’s convoy is entering

-the streets that lead to the rally site.

-What the fuck is this guy doing?

Look, Sambit.

Look at the crowd.

They've been standing

in the hot sun for hours

to get a glimpse of me.

You all are just obsessed

with the ratings.

Dad, I hid the bag where you'd asked.

The whole country is shaken

by the brazen attack

on the Prime Minister's convoy in Kohima.

While there is a sense of relief

that Prime Minister Basu

escaped unscathed,

-three people lost their lives…

-Was the Prime Minister's visit

to the Northeast justified

amid the ongoing tensions?

Could this attack have been avoided?

Well,

our honorable PM Madam

should try her luck in films.

Her acting is pretty convincing.

A blast of this magnitude

and not a scratch on her.

You're not suggesting that

Prime Minister Basu

staged this attack herself?

I'm not suggesting anything--

What nonsense is he talking?

Who orchestrates an attack on themselves?

They are all sharks!

They smell blood and are ready to attack.

Mr. Sambit,

I've heard that Dwaraknath

has recently invested in this channel.

I thought he was our ally.

-Dwaraknath?

-Yes.

That too, through a foreign company.

And coincidentally,

they've started attacking ma'am

ever since.

Is Dwaraknath trying to send me

a message?

People can do what they want,

but the fact remains,

I am in power

and I will stay in power.

I'll sit in this same chair

even after the election.

Ma'am, in my opinion,

we should handle

this situation differently.

What do you mean?

Ma'am, we have intel

about the location of those ultras.

They're hiding near the border,

in the forests of Myanmar.

Stephen Khuzou is hiding

right there with them.

-You mean…

-Off-the-books Op, ma'am.

Whichever hole they have crawled into,

our Black Ops team will drag them out.

That much I promise you, ma'am.

I just need your go-ahead.

When can we do it?

I can get the strike team ready

in 48 hours.

Who are you?

Step back!

It's okay.

Rukma.

What are you doing here?

Welcome to India, madam.

Shouldn't you be underground?

If you can come all the way

from London to India,

then I can surely come out of hiding.

In fact, I was thinking of standing

here holding a sign for you…

'Rukma welcomes Meera very warmly.'

Shall we?

You guys follow me.

Come, madam.

It's not safe, ma'am.

Won't you give me a chance

to serve you?

Officials have confirmed that

the Prime Minister is completely safe.

However, as a precautionary measure,

the rally was immediately called--

-Hi.

-Hi.

What the fuck is going on?

An attack on the PM?

Attacks happen wherever we go.

If you go by what the

intelligence agencies are thinking,

the MCA-S has a hand in this.

It absolutely cannot be the MCA-S!

You know Stephen is on the run?

He is in no position

to mount an attack on the PM.

Some powerful organization is behind this,

and they are trying to frame the MCA-S.

I think this could be a part of

Project Guan Yu.

First, they derailed Project Sahakar

by killing Kulkarni sir and David Khuzou.

And then, when PM Basu wanted

to connect with the locals,

they attacked her.

Who do you think it can be?

Whoever it was,

they didn't succeed.

The attack failed.

Maybe

the motive of the attack

wasn't to kill PM Basu,

but to scare her.

We need to find Stephen

as fast as possible, Saloni.

He's the only person

who can tell us something.

Sir, take a look at this.

Who is this?

Sir, we were making a list

of Srikant Tiwari's

closest assets in this region,

and that's when she popped up.

Colonel Saloni Bhat.

She's from the military intelligence

and is currently posted in Nagaland.

She and Srikant were close.

Close?

Very!

If Srikant is in Nagaland,

then he will definitely try to meet her.

Or perhaps, he has already met her.

Keep an eye on her.

Keep in mind that

she's military intelligence.

Without evidence,

we can't touch her.

So, keep it off the books.

Already on it, sir.

We've activated a team

of local informants.

We'll be tracking her movements.

Good job.

Thank you, sir.

What's happening?

I was just going through the footage…

and I am pretty sure

Srikant Tiwari wasn't there.

I wanted to ask you something.

You used to really admire Srikant Tiwari.

He was like a hero to you, right?

I used to admire him

because he was worthy of it.

Because of him,

people from our team got killed,

and now he's a traitor.

There's nothing left to admire in him.

So, it's just revenge?

Are you avenging Milind's death?

I'm just doing my job, Yatish.

Okay.

Who are these jokers?

Private security.

Are they any good?

They're the best in the business.

And they do what they're paid for

without wasting my time.

Mind-blowing!

Can you slow down?

Hey! What are you doing?

Has he gone insane?

Can you stop this nonsense?

Let's see if they are

'best in the business’!

They are getting ahead.

Step on it. What are you doing?

Rukma, for God's sake,

slow the car down!

-Can you see them?

-No, sir.

Stop the car.

Oh my God!

Stop the fucking car.

Okay, okay, all right.

What the fuck was that?

Who the fuck do you think you are?

Okay.

Look.

You can either shoot me

and get out of here.

Or you can…

enjoy the view.

This is what they call 'Incredible India!’

It's beautiful here, isn't it?

Yes.

It is very beautiful. I'm chuffed.

Now, if you are done being

a tourist guide, can we please leave?

There is a lot to be done.

Do you even have a plan of action?

You may not know me.

But I hope you understand

that once I take up a job,

I don't give up until it's done.

Yeah, sure.

The PM rally mission was a mess.

If I wanted a half-assed job done,

I could've hired any random person

to do it.

Why am I paying you so much?

The blast should've happened earlier.

-The PM could have died--

-But, she didn't.

On the contrary,

you should be happy.

You got what you wanted.

There's a lot to be done.

Let's go?

This picture was taken

in the last 24 hours.

In the heart of the Myanmar jungle,

just 12 kilometers

from the Nagaland border.

Local assets have confirmed that

this is the MCA-S base camp.

Their entire cadre is hiding over here.

Is the intel credible?

Multiple sources have verified it, sir.

And collateral damage?

Ma'am, you know that we'll try our best.

But in this kind of operation,

no one can guarantee

zero collateral damage.

But the one thing

I can guarantee is success.

Be assured, ma'am.

My best unit will lead this operation.

And the unit will be led by…

Colonel Vikram.

Ma'am, if I may?

We cannot afford collateral damage.

We all saw what happened

in Gaza after Israel's bombing.

Not only did the international

sentiment go against them,

but their own people stopped

supporting their government.

What do you want?

That ma'am goes down

in the history books as cowardly Basu.

-That's not what I meant.

-Then what do you mean?

We still cannot afford collateral damage.

What are you talking about?

Let's do it.

Rukma, when are we

meeting Colonel Zhulong?

I am waiting to hear from him.

Once he confirms,

we'll head to Myanmar.

I heard they've tightened

security at the border.

Any safety concerns?

You pay me so much

for that very safety, madam.

Do you want a drink?

Sure.

This drink is called apong.

The local drink here.

Why are you doing that?

Wiyu.

The spirits that reside here…

they love apong.

The locals believe that

if you don't offer a few drops to

the spirits before drinking,

they get upset.

Aren't you having some?

I don't drink.

A drug dealer who doesn't drink?

You'll be even more amused

to learn that this drug dealer

doesn't do any drugs either.

No drugs. No alcohol.

-Really?

-I want to be with Dad.

Stop.

What happened?

Sorry, bhai. I tried a lot,

but he just wouldn't sleep.

Come here.

Why aren't you sleeping?

What do you want?

I want my dad.

Won't you tuck me in?

Let's go. Be right back.

-Goodnight, boys.

-Goodnight, sir.

Drinking alone?

It must be a special day.

Hi.

Would you like a drink?

Yeah.

Cola?

No, just neat.

Just neat.

My dad would say,

'Either drink whiskey or cola.

Don't mix the two

and insult the whiskey.'

Where do your parents live?

Mom is in Delhi,

but Dad passed away.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

It's okay.

I was on a mission in Port Blair

when I got the news of his death.

I couldn't make it to the funeral.

Are you the only child?

Yup.

What about you?

A single mother's only daughter.

You know,

Mom liked Milind a lot.

Even when I wasn't in town,

he used to go home

to spend time with my mom.

What an idiot!

Listen, Zoya.

I'm really sorry.

I shouldn't have brought up Milind.

You know it's Milind's birthday today.

To Milind.

To Milind.

You know…

he was very unsure about

re-joining TASC.

I was the one who encouraged him.

I wish I hadn't convinced him…

-Maybe then…

-Zoya…

It's okay.

It's all right.

I…

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

-I'm so sorry. I'm sorry.

-Breathe, just breathe.

Just breathe.

Sorry, it took me some time

to tuck him in.

Wow.

It only took one peg

to make you down to earth.

Has Zhulong messaged yet?

Mind is always on work.

This green forest, the starry sky,

a bonfire,

and apong!

None of it seems to affect you?

You probably don't even notice kids.

What do you want me to say?

'He's a really cute kid,

looks just like you.

I see so much love

between the two of you.'

It's not love,

it's the price you pay for love.

I never wanted kids in life.

But then I fell in love with his mother…

and he was a package deal

that came free with her.

Do you have a family?

Oh, God, no!

I'm not a family woman.

You're like me.

Technically.

But, may I ask why?

Marriage is just a ploy

to sell people home loans.

To realize this, you too had to marry!

My marriage was a business decision,

and so was the divorce.

Mr. Eston

was quite a big defense contractor,

wasn't he?

Well done.

You've done your homework.

One needs to.

Also,

I'm not like you.

Technically.

Lose the kid.

He could become a liability for us.

Sri.

-Sri, are you okay?

-Yes, I'm okay, Suchi.

I saw on TV that there was

an attack on the PM as well.

What's going on, Sri?

I'm also confused.

So much has happened

in such a little time.

-I don't--

-Is it safe to stay here?

Can't we go somewhere else

till the whole thing settles down?

Suchi,

you know I can't do that.

How are the kids?

Wait, I'll call them.

Dhriti!

Atharv!

Yeah?

It's your dad.

Hi, Dad.

How are you, my two little devils?

Dad, when are you coming back?

Soon, dear.

We miss you, Dad.

Don't be so sweet.

I'm not really used to it.

But… you remember, right?

We're a team.

We're a unit.

And at a time like this,

that is the most important thing.

See you guys! Okay?

Bye.

-Bye.

-Bye, Dad.

Last time, I crossed the line.

I shouldn't have.

I was shaken by Nima's death,

so I ended up saying

all sorts of nonsense to you folks.

Sorry.

But this time,

I have to leave Bobby with you.

I'm going abroad.

I can't take him with me,

or leave him anywhere else.

Bobby.

Go to your grandparents.

I want to stay with my dad.

Come here.

I'll be back real soon.

Okay?

Go.

Bobby…

Go on.

-See you!

-Wait.

I don't need your money

to take care of my grandchild.

Just what I need.

Coffee.

-You want some milk?

-No.

-Sugar?

-No, just black.

Do you want some breakfast?

Right now, I just need some coffee.

Thanks.

What happened last night,

it shouldn't have. I crossed the line,

and I'm really sorry

if I made you feel awkward.

It was anything but awkward.

Sir.

I need to show you something.

It's urgent.

Hello!

Hi, I am Zhazo,

and I speak on behalf of MCA-S.

We extend our heartfelt condolences

over the death of

NIA Chief Gautam Kulkarni

and our venerable leader,

Father of our land, David Khuzou.

MCA-S has no role to play in these deaths.

These cowardly assassinations

are the work of some foreign forces,

and we have strong evidence to prove it.

If you reply to this

email within 24 hours,

then we will share this evidence with you.

Or else we will make it public

and show the world the real face of NIA.

Long Live the People's Movement.

Sir, we just received this video

via email from Zhazo.

He's an online activist here in Nagaland.

Basically, he's an MCA-S sympathizer, sir.

Zhazo is his operating alias.

Who he is in real life,

what he does, we have no clue.

But he posts in favor of the MCA-S

quite a bit on social media.

Reply to him.

Let's see what they have got.

Okay, sir.

Colonel Zhulong has sent a message.

We need to leave tomorrow morning.

I've made all the arrangements in Myanmar.

Your work will be done.

Good.

But what about my work, Meera madam?

You claimed your network

extends across the globe,

yet you are unable

to locate an ordinary agent.

He is anything but ordinary.

Hello!

I am Zhazo,

and I speak on behalf of the MCA-S.

We extend our heartfelt condolences

over the death of

NIA Chief Gautam Kulkarni.

MCA-S has no role to play in these deaths.

These cowardly assassinations

are the work of some foreign forces,

and we have strong evidence to prove it.

If you reply to this email,

then we will share this evidence with you.

Long Live the People's Movement.

This video was sent to the NIA.

How did you get your hands on it?

Let's just say that I have an insider.

Don't ask me who.

I'll tell you later.

Our first priority is to find him.

If we find him,

it's as good as finding Stephen.

Forward me this email.

I'll get Punit on it.

Meera.

We're forwarding you an email.

Can you trace the source's location?

I want you to track the sender's location.

And it's urgent, yeah?

Copy, sir.

He will lead us to Stephen.

I can feel it.

Are you sure this tin can

will get us to Myanmar in one piece?

This tin can is

trustworthy like its pilot.

It won't let you down.

Why are you so stressed?

You're an international player, ma'am.

You must have flown thousands of times.

You should be used to it.

I'm used to planes,

not tractors.

Boss.

-Yes, sir.

-One plate here.

We're not here for a picnic.

These are special Naga pineapples.

You don't get them anywhere else.

Here you go, sir.

They're healthy too.

Good for your diabetes as well.

-How much?

-Fifty rupees, sir.

Wait, one minute.

Here.

James.

You should try this!

I can guarantee

you wouldn't have eaten such a

sweet pineapple in your entire life.

You know,

he's from Nagaland, not Kandivali.

Yes.

Ignore him, James.

If he doesn't talk shit,

his food doesn't seem to digest.

If you sit around with an empty stomach,

you can get hemorrhoids.

It's literally been ten minutes

since you ate momo.

Momo don't count. They disappear!

Stop focusing on me and focus ahead.

We might miss Zhazo.

This is a phoenix village.

It's not the only one.

There are many along the border.

Getting across the border

to India is child's play for them.

The Myanmar army doesn't

have any control here.

They run the show here.

The Chinese know this.

Which is why this is the base

for their operations.

Everybody out.

Hello, Rukma.

Hello, Colonel.

I thought you were coming alone.

I was going to,

but the boss decided to tag along.

Meera Eston.

Colonel Zhulong.

Colonel.

It's all there,

as agreed.

Listen to me very carefully.

Our deal is not a part of Guan Yu.

If Beijing gets a whiff of it…

It's not like in India.

There's no court-martial,

no jail, nothing.

They'll straight away behead

and hang you

to set an example.

So, be very careful.

Don't worry.

It'll all be okay.

We'll disguise ourselves

as the Myanmar army when we go.

You wanted 20 men, right?

Come with me.

These are your soldiers.

They are all super trained.

JK.

What happened?

You see that girl?

The day I met David sir,

I saw her with Stephen.

Wait here.

James,

be alert.

Thank you.

Hello.

Someone just logged into that email.

You should go now.

Okay.

Someone has just logged into the system.

See who it is.

It's a girl.

Okay.

Get out of there.

Come on.

Yeah, Punit?

How much?

Tiwari, you were right.

Someone just accessed

that email account.

Okay.

Zhazo.

I need to talk to you.

Did you recognize me?

So happy to know it's you.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Please, sit down.

Sit down. Please.

Where's Stephen?

I don't know.

Look,

I know that Stephen is innocent.

And that the MCA-S is not

responsible for this attack.

I want to help you guys.

Just tell me where he is.

I told you already,

I don't know where Stephen is.

I can understand your predicament.

I, myself, am hiding from my own people.

Because the NIA thinks

that I'm behind this attack.

I know there's someone else

who is responsible for this attack.

Which is why it is really

important for me to meet him.

Okay.

If Stephen wants a

way out of this mess,

just tell him to contact me.

This is where you can find me.

Come on.

Let's go.

What happened?

I did what I could. Now, let's

wait and see what happens.

Let's go, James.

Turn the car.

Turn the car, James.

That way!

Come on.

What happened?

One of the guys on the bikes,

he was a part of the

gang that killed Kulkarni sir.

I'll never forget that fucker's face.

Come on, go.

Fast! Go fast!

Take cover!

Take cover!

Tirtha! Cover me!

Let's get out of here.

James.

Come, come, come.

The unit has crossed the border.

Going for drop.

We are at the RV point.

Boys, cameras on!

We've reached Eagle Point.

Until we return home,

we will all maintain radio silence.

Over and out.

This camp is empty, sir.

It's still hot,

that means…

We are under attack!

It's an ambush!

It's an ambush!

Who are you, bastard?

Drop your weapon.

Do it. Now.

Okay, okay. See, see.

Okay, okay?

Fine?

How did they know about the operation?

How did they have the unit's

coordinates beforehand?

Everyone involved in this Op,

through the entire chain of command,

will be investigated.

Anyone could be working with the enemy.

Did anyone from the unit survive?

No, ma'am.

As of now,

the entire unit is presumed to be KIA.

Killed in action, ma'am.

Have the families been informed?

Ma'am,

this mission is off-the-books, so…

we cannot inform the families.

So what should I do?

You gave me your word, right?

What did you say?

‘Best strategy.’

This was your ‘best strategy’?

Ma'am, nobody has a clue

about this failed operation.

Whatever happens,

this news must not leak to the media.

You couldn't keep

a military strike under wraps.

How will you stop this?

Ma'am, even if the news does leak,

we will have to deny it.

There was no Op…

or an attack on Myanmar's soil.

This operation never happened!

Hey!

Wait, I've got something for you.

What's this?

A local healer gave me

this bottle in Dzuleke village.

It's a guaranteed herbal cure

for your anxiety and panic attacks.

Thank you.

You know you can stay a little longer.

And…

you don't have to treat me

like a stranger.

Yatish, you know

the obvious thing, right?

What?

Whatever is happening between us

cannot come out in the open.

Two agents cannot be with each other.

That's like the only unwritten rule

in our profession.

-Let's go.

-Hey!

Tiwari!

Move. Come on.

Stephen?

What the fuck is going on?

This is ridiculous!

Safety reasons, Srikant.

We couldn't take a risk.

We almost lost our lives

to save this comrade of yours.

JK.

And they're saying they

couldn't take a risk!

I'm sorry.

What sorry?

Is this the way to treat someone?

That too, government employees!

What?

Government servants.

Exactly.

Especially government servants.

It was a long journey.

-You must be hungry.

-Yes.

Please have it.

It's quite tasty.

What is it?

Hamok.

What do you call snails in Hindi?

Ghonga.

Yes, that.

Jesmina told me that you think

that I am innocent.

Yes.

Why?

Why do you believe us?

Look, Stephen.

The person who killed

David sir and Kulkarni sir,

I saw him myself.

Then why is your government trying

to frame me?

You and I are in the same boat.

We'll have to help each other

for us to get out of this mess.

How?

We need to find the guy

who is responsible for all this.

His name is Rukmangadha.

-In this region, he is--

-I know.

Rukma is one of the biggest

drug smugglers in this region.

And that scoundrel

is helping China as well.

Have you heard of Project Guan Yu?

He's helped the Chinese set up quite

a few villages along the Myanmar border.

Phoenix villages.

I'm aware of these villages.

They're responsible for

every blast that's happened

in this region.

And they are framing MCA-S

for all this.

Stephen, David sir, and Kulkarni sir

were a big part of Project Sahakar,

which was made

to counter Project Guan Yu.

That is the reason they got eliminated.

I don't think

the Chinese high command

knew anything about Rukma's operation.

Rukma and Colonel Zhulong,

the in-charge of these phoenix villages,

planned this attack in a

side deal between them.

I wonder…

why Rukma is doing all this?

Ulupi, show them.

Tiwari.

Who is she?

We don't know yet.

She's Rukma's new client.

They are paying Zhulong

way above his pay grade.

Where did you get these photos?

There are quite a few supporters

of MCA-S in Myanmar.

And I also have a source

in this village

who regularly sends us intel.

We wanted to share this information

with the Indian authorities.

Can you help us do this?

Do you have a SAT phone?

Hello.

Hello, sir.

Trace this call.

Sri, first tell me,

where the hell are you?

Sir,

don't waste time trying

to trace this call.

Srikant, why are you on the run from us?

Sir, when a man who has served

the country all his life

is repaid with an arrest warrant,

what choice does he have?

Srikant, we needed you

for some questioning. That's it!

And if you're innocent,

then nothing will happen to you.

Let it be, sir. This is all talk.

We can chit-chat later.

I called you to say that Rukmangadha

has been spotted in Myanmar.

He is planning something big, sir.

-Rukmangadha?

-Yes.

The one who killed Kulkarni sir.

Remember? I told you?

He was seen in a phoenix village

of Project Guan Yu.

I have his exact location coordinates.

A woman was also spotted with him.

But I don't have any intel

on the woman.

Listen, Srikant. See, I believe you.

But first, you and JK need to surrender.

Only then can we act

on your information.

Sir, if you believe me,

then please act on it. Okay?

I'm sending you some photos.

Find out who the woman with Rukma is.

Sri--

Did you call Sharma?

Yes.

You know that we can't trust anyone

from the department right now.

What if Sharma is playing

for the enemy's team?

This is the only way to find that out.

What if he gets us run out

before we can figure this out?

We're not scoring a century anyway.

We need to increase the patrolling

in sectors 16,17--

Hello.

Hello, Colonel Zhulong.

How are you doing?

All good?

What a pleasant surprise, Sameer!

To what do I owe this pleasure?

A little birdie told me that in one

of your phoenix villages,

agents from a private party are visiting.

And that your hospitality is top-notch.

That too without

your high command's consent.

What are you trying to say?

To help refresh your memory,

I also have a name.

Rukmangadha.

Sameer, whatever I am doing

is for the benefit of Project Guan Yu,

and that's all that matters.

How much are they paying you?

Sameer,

one friendly advice.

I know what I'm doing here.

I don't need your guidance.

So, if you don't stick your nose

into this business,

it'll be better for you.

Is there anything else?

Nothing else, Colonel.

Goodbye.

I learned so much

about the jungle from David sir,

than from any training.

He was the smartest and bravest person

that I have ever seen.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Everything I have learned in my life

is courtesy of my grandpa, as well.

I grew up listening to his ideology…

his philosophy.

But he became soft with age.

He started trusting the system.

We used to fight about this a lot.

But I never thought ill of him.

Never!

He was my idol, Srikant.

We had our differences,

but I loved him.

But now everyone thinks

that I killed my own grandpa.

I don't know what I should do.

If you don't mind,

can I ask you something?

Sure.

How did you get involved in this mess?

‘Wanted!’

‘Outlaw!’

Why all of this?

Why not a simple life?

I grew up

watching my family fight.

Sometimes to protect our basic rights,

sometimes to defend our land.

And in that fight,

over time,

one after another,

my entire family died.

So, that's the only life I know.

I'm… I'm really sorry.

So, where is your home?

It's nearby.

A few kilometers away.

Oh, wow!

I'm sure it must be quite beautiful.

Used to be.

Now I don't know anymore.

Everyone I knew is dead,

so I don't see the point

of going back there.

Only the memories remain.

By the way,

how did you get into this mess?

As in?

'Wanted.'

'Outlaw.'

Why all of this?

Why not a simple life?

We need to catch Rukma.

At any cost.

Even I want to.

But he's in Myanmar.

Then we have to cross the border

to catch him.

You think I didn't try?

Living on the run, hiding in the jungle,

it's not exactly my lifestyle choice.

The situation at the border right now

is extremely dangerous.

Especially for ‘wanted’ people like us.

I have a guy…

who I can call.

Hello, sir.

Wrong number.

-Sir.

-What do you want now, Srikant?

Sir, I want to go to Myanmar.

But there's a lot of security

at the border,

and to top it all, I am a wanted man.

Tell me something I don't know.

Sir, can you help me?

Srikant, you may think

I am God, but I'm not, you know.

I don't have a solution

for all your problems.

Sir, this is an emergency.

There is only one man

who can help you.

But your ego

will not allow you to call him.

No, no, sir. No.

Not him, sir.

He's a pain in the ass.

Right now, he's the only one

who can help you.

Call him.

Hello.

Hi, Saloni.

Suchitra.

Saloni, I am so sorry.

I know I am supposed to call

only in an emergency, but--

All okay?

I don't know.

Srikant hasn't called me today.

He promised he would call every day,

but he hasn't so far,

and his phone is also switched off.

Suchitra, you're worrying unnecessarily.

There are network issues in this area.

Maybe that is why

he hasn't been able to call.

Or it may have just slipped his mind.

I'm sure he will call

you the first chance he gets.

But he used to call promptly

until yesterday.

Saloni, I'm really stressed.

I just hope he's okay.

Suchitra, I can understand.

I am sure he is fine, but

let me check.

Okay?

Thank you.

Did you get a call or a message?

Nothing, ma'am.

We need to get out of here.

Please pack your things.

I'll explain everything later.

Saloni.

Is Srikant okay?

I'm sure he is going to be okay.

But this safe house may be compromised.

We have to leave now.

-Please.

-Let's go.

Sir, jackpot!

Our suspicion was bang on.

Colonel Saloni has been helping Srikant.

We have his location.

Finally.

-Let's go.

-Yeah.

Guys, listen up.

We have Srikant Tiwari's location.

We won't get another opportunity

like this one.

We have to get him.

-Let's go.

-Yes, sir.

-Send Bhaskar the coordinates.

-Okay, sir.

-Check inside.

-Yes, sir.

He's not here, sir.

Mrs. Tiwari, where is your husband?

Don't answer.

You all have to come with us.

You can't do that.

Where's your warrant?

When it's a matter of national security,

these rules don't apply.

I don't need a warrant to arrest anyone

who is aiding and abetting

a murderer and a traitor.

I thought you knew that, Colonel Bhat.

Zoya.

You're coming with us.

-Come.

-Suchi.

I had a chat with your Commanding Officer.

He wasn't very happy about the fact

that you're helping a criminal.

A court of inquiry has been initiated.

Let's go.

We were aware, Sameer.

We were continuously tracking

the Collective.

Back in the day, the games

they played in Afghanistan…

We know everything.

Anyway,

some time last year

Basu had a meeting with Dwaraknath

around the G20 summit,

where the Collective was also present.

And at that time, they had reached

an agreement regarding a defense deal.

That means if India goes ahead

with this deal, then to compete with them,

we will be forced to upgrade

our defense system.

It means there will be,

once again,

an arms race between us.

Which will be good news

for the Collective.

On one hand,

they'll sell weapons to India

and on the other,

they'll sell to Pakistan.

And meanwhile,

China isn't going to stay quiet either.

They will become more aggressive.

They'll try to rope us into this conflict.

An atmosphere of war will envelop

all of South Asia.

This was our assessment as well.

But the good news

is that Basu, for now,

has put the weapons deal

on an indefinite hold.

Given the circumstances,

it seems unlikely

that she'll pursue it further.

She knows the stakes.

General sir, I have some solid intel.

Some powerful people want Basu to

sign this deal, at any cost.

Soon, they will succeed

in this endeavor.

Are you sure about that?

If I weren't sure,

I wouldn't have told you.

These are credible sources.

Our government is forced

to ask people to drink less tea,

so that our economy doesn't sink.

In such dire circumstances,

we really cannot afford

to get sucked into an arms race.

If this is bad news for India,

it is an absolute disaster for us.

We have to stop this deal from happening.

But we are not in a situation

where we can mount such a mission.

But we can't stay put, General.

I know. We cannot get involved in this.

But no one will stop you.

Thank you.

Hello, Mr. Sharma.

Srikant called, sir.

Is he planning to surrender?

No, sir.

Then why is he calling?

Did you get his location?

No, sir. I tried to convince him,

but sir, he is on to something big.

He sent me Rukmangadha's photo.

The same guy, he says, killed Kulkarni.

And he is a part of Guan Yu.

Not just that, sir.

In those photos,

there is a woman present with Rukma.

Meera Eston, sir.

Who is she?

A British national of Indian origin, sir.

We ran a background check on her.

She is a high-level fixer for

global corporations and conglomerates.

She has dealt with various governments.

She has also worked

with the CIA in the past.

My theory is, sir,

Meera got Rukma to do this attack.

Why?

That I don't know.

But there is a bigger game at play.

We have to dig deeper.

You're selling me theories, Mr. Sharma!

Do you have any evidence that proves

that Srikant is telling the truth?

He, himself,

is the prime suspect in this case.

He can make up anything,

so he won't have to surrender.

No, sir. I disagree with you.

I trust him.

For an agent like Srikant,

fleeing the country is not hard.

But he chose to stay back

and work on his case.

It is not his case, Mr. Sharma.

I know it is a protocol violation, sir.

But desperate times

need desperate measures.

Just be straight up with me.

What is it that you want?

Sir, get an Interpol red notice

issued against Rukma and Meera.

It's not that easy to issue a red notice.

We need evidence for that.

Solid evidence.

Do one thing, Mr. Sharma.

Win Srikant's trust

and bring him into custody.

Then, perhaps, we'll get more information

from him.

Sambit.

We have been compromised, Dwarak.

The game has backfired.

What?

We have to cancel this deal.

We have to cancel everything.

No, we can't cancel the deal, Sambit.

People from the Collective

are breathing down my neck.

If at this last stage,

we make a U-turn,

you know what these people could do.

And how the bloody hell are you so sure

that we have been compromised?

Because of that Meera Eston.

Her cover is blown.

Srikant has identified her.

Now, following that trail,

he will reach you.

And if he follows the money trail,

then my name will come up.

What was I thinking?

I should have stopped all this earlier.

I thought it's a small defense deal.

I'll make a little money.

It's a good deal.

It'll be good for me as well.

I'll be sorted post-retirement.

But then you guys went

and killed Kulkarni.

What am I to do now?!

-Dwarak, what am I to do now?!

-Sambit, calm down.

But how did he find Meera?

She was in Myanmar.

What the fuck was she doing there?

The TASC team has her pictures.

They're asking me to call Interpol

and get a red notice issued in her name.

Can you hold this off for some time?

I won't be able to for too long.

If I get any pressure from Madam PM,

then I will not be able to do anything.

Nothing will happen.

Everything will be all right.

I'll handle it.

What will you do?

I said I'll handle it, Sambit!

Just trust me.

Trusting you is what got me here.

I wish--

Fuck!

Hi, Zoya.

-May I come in?

-Come.

Are you okay?

I've been placed

on administrative leave for now.

Have you received any

updates from Srikant sir or JK?

Look, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry.

I didn't know that someone

from my team was following you.

Otherwise, I would have warned you.

I understand. By the way,

does anyone in your department

suspect you?

I don't think so.

And anyway,

when Srikant sir had asked for my help,

I knew all of this

was going to be very risky,

and whatever happens,

I'm okay with it.

Did you rejoin TASC?

Next week.

Listen, Zoya.

There's someone among us

who is working against us.

We have a mole amongst us.

I can't seem to understand

who to trust and who not to.

Sir, are you absolutely sure?

Can I trust you, Zoya?

This video was sent to the NIA.

How did you get your hands on it?

Another thing…

This attack that was made on Jesmina…

You had sent information

about her email to Srikant.

It means that someone sent the same

information to her attackers as well.

Are you saying that

someone from my team

is helping those attackers?

I think so.

You keep an eye on Suchitra and the kids.

Make sure they are safe.

We're at Milestone 42.

Where is your friend?

He should be here soon.

It would be nice if he arrived soon.

This place has heavy patrolling.

We can't wait here too long.

Relax. I trust him completely.

There won't be any issue.

Hands up!

Don't move!

"I trust my friend completely.

There won't be any issue."

Your friend has screwed us over.

Yes.

I'll call you back.

I want to meet

Suchitra Tiwari and her family.

They're not here, ma'am.

Meaning?

An officer from your department came

and took them away.

Just some time back.

-Which officer?

-Please wait.

Saloni, Srikant sir's family

is not at the police station.

They have been taken

into protective custody.

I don't have a very

good feeling about this.

I'm coming to pick you up.

Scoundrel!

If I meet that fucker,

I'll roast him alive,

I'll skin him and then feed him

to the dogs.

He must have gotten stuck somewhere.

He didn't get stuck. He framed us.

Open your eyes and see.

All your friends are dumbfucks.

Except me, of course.

He's the dumbfuck.

Sir!

Hi.

Tiwari, my friend!

Hi! How are you?

Long time no see!

-Fucker!

-No, no!

What the fuck, man!

Seriously?!

I'm here, aren't I?

Relax.

Calm down.

He's been cussing so much

that he almost lost his voice.

Even if he praises me, I wouldn't take it.

JK,

shove your cusses up your ass.

Well, actually,

I'm happy to see you here right now.

Look, he's so happy to see me.

Learn something, my friend!

Fucker!

This is why your wife left you.

Look who's talking!

I'm slightly ahead of the game,

but you're trailing behind, man.

Let's talk business.

No, let's talk about your wife.

Michael, seriously, let's talk business.

No, let's talk about your wife.

How's she doing?

Fucker, you'll never change.

Let's go.

Where to?

First, we eat and then we work.

Come on.

Who is this?

He's a friend.

Looks like your definition of ‘friend’

is a little different.

-Hello, sir.

-Hello.

-Do you have the keys?

-Yes, sir.

Thank you.

You can go now.

Mrs. Tiwari.

Please.

Come.

This way.

What is this place?

It is a forest rest house.

Make yourselves at home.

I'll arrange for some food.

If you need anything at all,

please tell Bhaskar.

He'll take care of everything.

But why are we here?

Look, my son is a minor.

I know that it's against the law

to keep a minor in custody.

Ma'am, this is not an arrest.

I've just taken you

into protective custody.

In this region, your husband

has more enemies than friends.

And those enemies could get to you.

Whatever I am doing

is for your safety.

So, please cooperate.

How long do we need to be here?

Until it's safe outside.

How long will we hold them here?

Until further orders

from the headquarters.

Anyway, I've asked the team for backup.

They should be here

in half an hour or so.

Okay, sir.

Hello.

Any luck with tracking

the number that I sent you?

The kind of stuff that you make do!

If I get caught, I'm fucked.

Punit, please don't argue with me.

Just do it,

it's very urgent. It's for Srikant sir.

Already did.

He is in the middle of nowhere, Zoya.

I've sent you the coordinates.

Check.

Thanks, bye.

What is Yatish even up to?!

THANK YOU AND WELCOME BACK

Where are you? Come quickly.

How come there are

so many Tamilians in Moreh?

There was a time in Burma when

a lot of businesses and tea plantations

were owned by Tamilians.

Of course,

the Burmese locals didn't like it.

It's a universal problem.

When outsiders come

and settle in a region,

the locals always have a problem.

Till 1964, things were all right.

Then General Ne Win came to power,

and he nationalized all the businesses.

So we had to leave everything

and come back to India.

We?

My father used to work

as a plantation manager in Burma.

Overnight, he had to leave

everything behind.

He crossed the border on foot

with the only clothes he had on.

More than 300,000 Tamilians

came from Burma to India.

Some of those settled here

in Manipur.

Hoping one day everything will change

and they can start their

business again in Burma.

And that one day never came.

Yeah.

How do you know

so much about this area?

This is a popular smuggling route between

Myanmar and India

for counterfeit currency.

Oh. Okay.

Michael?

When is your asset getting here?

He is coming, fucker.

Give me a break!

It's one thing to have style,

but when the time comes,

it's the courage that matters.

Was that Hindi

or some other language?

Chauda means style,

and guda means guts.

I'm not like you.

I value time.

I don't make excuses.

Come on! Get a room, you two!

And sort your shit out.

Please, can you tell us

what the plan of action is?

My asset will help you cross the border.

I've notified the BPF commander

that this is an operation

from my department.

They won't say anything.

But, there might be some patrolling

on the Myanmar side. So, be careful.

Since last month, the security

at the border has tightened.

I hope you are aware of that, Michael.

Yes, but not much has changed

in the counterfeit route.

Just last week, a shipment

came through that route.

You'll be fine.

Hello, sir.

What man, Subbu?

I heard you're up to no good.

Shekhar was complaining.

No, sir.

Get married, fucker.

Don't hold it in your hand

and roam around. Have a seat.

This is Subbu.

He'll help you cross the border safely.

This… this is Subbu?

Do you know any other Subbu?

-No.

-Then this is Subbu.

I thought he would be Tamilian.

My father is a Tamilian,

and my mother is Manipuri.

Hello.

I don't know Tamil.

Can you speak in English?

I know Hindi as well.

Oh, wow.

I know lots of languages.

Bengali, Assamese, Nagamese, Manipuri.

I also know three languages.

Hindi, English, Marathi--

Bodo, Tamil, Telugu,

Kannada, Malayalam.

Don't judge the book by its cover, sir.

Mind-blowing!

-Thank you, sir.

-Enough! Shut up now!

Sorry, sir.

Get to the point.

For now, we'll stay put

and cross the border at night.

Okay.

Okay?

-Okay.

-All good?

-All good.

-Okay.

Say it.

Say what?

Fucker, at least say thank you!

Bastard, you never said sorry!

So what?

So no ‘sorry’, no ‘thank you.’

I've never seen a

dumbfuck like you in my life!

And you never will.

I don't even want to.

Hello.

What are you doing in Myanmar?

The same thing I was doing in Nagaland.

Getting the job done.

Looks like you want

the whole world to see

what kind of job you're

getting done there.

Your cover is blown, Meera.

Check your phone.

-Fuck!

-Congratulations.

Indian intelligence knows

both your name and your face now.

I thought you were

smarter than this, Meera.

I'll figure this out, okay?

Let me just complete the mission.

Are you fucking kidding me, Meera?

Have you started doing drugs

while working with that drug dealer?

Just pack everything and leave.

Dwarak,

I will handle this.

Let the job get done.

I promise, I'll figure this out.

Get out of Myanmar now!

And don't go back to India or the UK.

Just go underground somewhere.

Maybe to Chiang Mai.

I'll be in touch.

Do you realize how big a fuck up this is?

Is this how you work?

Anyone can come here

and take our photographs,

and you won't even know!

I'm exposed now.

It's my fault.

I'll fix it. Don't worry.

Whatever it is, I'll handle it.

It's my fault as well.

I took the risk.

Even then.

The responsibility

for your safety is mine.

We need to activate our next step.

Now?

-But the plan was to--

-We're left with no other choice.

It's now or never.

It's time to put pressure on PM Basu.

Okay.

What are you doing?

Just a minute, sis.

Uncle,

how far is Kohima from here?

It's quite far.

Got some food. Please eat it.

I don't know what the hell is happening.

It's locked.

Something doesn't feel right.

Mom, even I feel something is off.

They locked us in a room.

What kind of protective custody is this?

And there's nothing around

the house except a jungle.

Don't you find it creepy?

If they wanted to kidnap us,

they would bring us to a place like this.

No, no.

This is not a kidnapping attempt

or any such thing.

This is the NIA and the police.

They don't kidnap us.

But I think I know

why they have us here.

They are using us as leverage

so that they can coerce

your father into surrendering.

That makes sense, Suchi.

Your dad is here on an important mission,

and we can't be the reason he fails.

You are right.

We need to break out of here.

Yeah.

This is a bad idea.

You'll get hurt.

But at least let me try, Suchi.

If I somehow manage

to get outside through there…

then I'll open this door.

And then we can all get out.

I still think it is a bad idea.

Hey, hero!

-Are you done stretching?

-One minute.

Come on.

Careful.

Almost there. Got it.

Come on. Come on.

Sis…

Idiot.

-What are you doing, sis?

-Come on, get up.

I told you that you would get hurt,

but you never listen.

No one's going to try anything now.

It's done. Enough.

I don't want you to get hurt.

Enough.

Who is the commander?

First, tell us who you are

and why you have captured us.

Only I get to ask the questions.

Which regiment?

Kill us…

or torture us as much as you like,

but the Indian government

will not negotiate for us.

Who said I wanted to negotiate

with the Indian government?

Then what do you want?

This video is authentic.

These are our soldiers.

If the media gets hold of this video…

It has already been uploaded

to various MCA-S propaganda sites.

The media will definitely

get hold of it.

Then get it deleted.

International media will--

Enough!

Enough!

You've spoken enough.

You are all useless!

Have any of you given me

a single good idea to date?

Calling it ideas, but it's just trash.

You've just dumped garbage on me!

-Ma'am--

-Enough!

I've heard enough.

Now I will decide

what to do and what not to do.

Talk to the Myanmar ambassador.

I want my soldiers back…

at any cost.

I don't care if you need to work

on it night and day.

And find out who's behind this treachery.

I want a name.

Now, leave.

Let's hide the car here.

From here on,

we cross the border on foot.

Looks like our backup is here.

Sir, they don't appear to be our people.

Who are you?

Show your ID!

I won't ask again!

Who are you people?

Suchi?

Atharv, come fast!

Come.

Come.

Got it.

Fire some rounds in the air.

Come on.

Come on.

Let's go.

Wear your shoes.

Wore it? Come. Come on.

Hold me at gunpoint.

Come on.

Careful!

-Atharv! Atharv!

-Yes?

Shine it this way.

Guys, I can see an opening.

Come on.

Come.

Careful.

Mrs. Tiwari!

Don't be stupid!

Come back!

I'm warning you.

Yeah, this is it.

-That's it?

-Yes.

This is Yatish's last known location.

There's no network.

But why would he bring them

to such a secluded place?

Something is not right.

What should we do now?

We should call for backup.

I don't know, Saloni.

What if we're overreacting?

Maybe Yatish is not doing anything wrong.

Something is wrong!

There is no network here.

What do we do now?

Mrs. Tiwari!

Don't force me to shoot.

Think about your kids.

Saloni.

Did you hear that?

Is that a gunshot?

Yeah,

it is.

Let's go.

Listen.

Both of you get out of here.

And you?

I'll wait here.

You both go ahead.

No, Mom. We will all stick together.

Listen to me.

You both go from here.

I'll try to stop them.

-How will you stop them?

-I'll think of something. Just go.

Mom, they have guns.

They will kill you.

At least, the two of you will survive.

Listen to me, just go.

Mom, no!

If we go, we're going together.

Yes, Suchi.

Heads down.

Drop your weapon and come out.

I said drop your weapon

or else I'll shoot.

Zoya?

Saloni, are you okay?

-Are you guys okay? All okay?

-Saloni!

Yeah, we're fine.

Okay.

The video of alleged Indian

soldiers being held captive

-in Myanmar has gone viral.

-Is this viral video real?

-Or is it an AI-generated fake?

-If it's true,

-India should give a fitting reply.

-Widespread outrage grips the nation.

People demand the release of the

captive soldiers--

The Myanmar foreign minister

has posted on social media

stating that they are not aware

of any Indian POW on their soil.

But if Indian soldiers

have entered Myanmar,

it will be considered an act of war.

Meanwhile, China issued a statement.

We have credible intel that Indian

forces have transgressed into Myanmar.

If India thinks that it can

operate on Myanmarese soil as it pleases,

it will have to deal with China.

We will take all necessary actions

to safeguard the sovereignty

of nations in this region.

The entire country demands

the resignation of the Prime Minister.

But the PMO hasn't

uttered a word as yet.

People want answers,

but all we get is silence.

What is the Myanmar government saying?

They are denying it.

They feign ignorance

about this incident.

They have no idea about

our soldiers' location, they say.

Maybe it's true.

Ma'am, ultras control that region.

And the Burmese government

has no control over them.

Which is why they can

do nothing to help us.

Whether it's the Burmese

government or the ultras,

there's only one way out of this.

It's time we stopped playing diplomacy.

Send in the army and

bring our soldiers back.

Ma'am, this will be

seen as an act of war.

And China won't just sit back.

Mr. Yashwant, I said,

"Send in the army and bring our

soldiers back. Safe and sound."

And if that causes war, then so be it.

-Sambit.

-Yes, ma'am.

Call Dwarak.

Tell him,

we're ready to make a deal.

Okay.

Remember, lie low

and fly under the radar

between Myanmar and Thailand.

-Is the tank full?

-Yes.

-Okay, great.

-Okay.

I would've dropped you

off in Thailand myself,

but you know how much

there is to do here.

It's important that

you stay back here.

I'll be fine.

I don't understand how

things came to this.

I've been doing this all my life.

Such a big mistake--

The best of us make

mistakes, boss madam.

What's important is how

one recovers.

Things will be fine.

It's been good working with you.

Thank you for everything.

The pleasure was all mine.

You're not what I thought you would be.

You know? You're different.

Different? Meaning?

It's a compliment.

Take it.

You're mind-blowing. Kick-ass.

This is a compliment.

Thank you.

I'm chuffed.

So then,

when do we meet again?

In our line of work, we don't

ask these kinda questions.

You know that.

Sir, that is Kyar Mye village.

I shall leave now.

You'll have to go on your

own, the rest of the way.

Thank you.

Stephen sir, whatever your

mission is, good luck to you.

Thank you.

We need to reach the village

and wait there.

Temjen will meet us there.

And, reinforcements?

Local MCA-S cadres

are active here.

They should be here soon.

Zoya.

Why did you do all of this?

If you're expecting some

sad backstory,

I'm sorry to disappoint you.

Honestly, I never expected

things to escalate like this.

Zoya, we do a thankless job here.

And what do we get in return?

A paycheck that doesn't

fulfill your needs,

while you risk your life for it.

And even if one manages to

get out of it alive,

what do you get after retirement?

A paltry pension.

In case you score big on the job,

then perhaps a token medal.

So yes, I did it for the money.

You tell me,

why are you doing all this?

For some misplaced idealism?

Or sense of patriotism?

You…

and your Srikant Tiwari

are just dancing

to someone else's tunes.

Zoya, you don't realize

that you're just a pawn

in a very big game.

Yatish, I'm an engineering graduate

from a top institute.

If all I wanted was money,

then I had a lot of options.

I chose this.

So, yes. I am doing this

for the country.

It's because of officers like me…

No, actually, because of

officers like Srikant Tiwari,

the people of this country can

sleep peacefully.

I need a full confession from you.

Everything you know about

Kulkarni sir's assassination.

I want all of it.

And what do I get in return?

A chance…

to stay alive.

Your people must be looking for you

to eliminate you.

For you've become a liability,

and you know that.

So, Yatish Chawla, give me a good

goddamn reason to keep you alive.

Start talking.

Now.

Ma'am, we have started

the troop buildup.

We've moved three divisions already.

Air Chief D'Souza is

helping us with air support.

As soon as our soldiers enter Myanmar,

China will react.

They'll use Pakistan to

target the western front,

and we have to be ready for that.

-Can we handle both fronts simultaneously?

-Yes, ma'am.

We've already taken steps

to secure the western front.

Mr. Ashok has assured us

of an aircraft carrier,

three attack submarines,

and two destroyers.

Ma'am, MEA is in touch with

the Myanmar Government.

We will do our best to de-escalate.

Ma'am, there is no other

way to say this, but

this war is going to be long.

Thanks to China and Pakistan.

Our resources will be stretched thin.

We should go to war only

after we're well prepared.

We've to reinforce our infrastructure

on a war footing, ma'am.

I'm already in touch with Dwaraknath.

He is on his way to Delhi as we speak.

Good.

I have updated the Honorable President.

He is with us.

Let's hope that it all ends well.

Jai Hind.

What are you staring at?

I'm not staring!

The whole village is staring at us.

He's here.

Stephen sir, hope you had a good trip.

I am so happy to see you.

-I hope you are well.

-Yes.

Meet Temjen,

my man inside Phoenix Village.

Tonight, he will take us

inside the village.

Temjen, we don't have much time.

What's the plan ahead?

Haven't you seen the news?

A few days back, an Indian unit

launched an attack.

It was a covert operation.

Quite a few people from

the unit were killed.

And…

Rukma's men captured some soldiers.

Their video has gone

viral on the internet.

That's Colonel Vikram.

Rukma already knew

when and where this strike

was going to happen.

As soon as the unit reached

the target location,

Rukma ambushed them.

This means…

someone from your side

is helping the enemy.

They have people planted everywhere.

They have connections at the top level.

We have to be very careful

from now on.

But why did Rukma

capture those soldiers?

They must have some demands

in exchange for those soldiers' lives.

Have you brought the

Phoenix Village's map?

Yes.

These are Rukma's quarters.

Here, here, and here

are the security posts.

Okay, good.

So, the plan is that--

Indian soldiers…

Where are they held?

Srikant.

No.

It's too risky.

We have to, Stephen.

The plan was to capture Rukma.

Dead or alive.

Adding anything else to

it will be too dangerous.

We don't have any other option, Stephen.

Anything we do endangers

the lives of the soldiers.

They will be killed.

First and foremost, we get

the soldiers out of there.

Then, we attack Rukma.

Here.

This is where their holding cells are.

Maybe that's where the

soldiers are being held.

-Stephen, I will leave.

-Okay.

-See you.

-All right, see you.

Stephen, when will the

reinforcements arrive?

They must be here soon.

Everyone's phone in the

TASC team was hacked,

and they had no idea that they

were transmitting this information.

It was a concentrated effort to

scapegoat Srikant and the TASC team.

State your full name.

Yatish Chawla.

And I confirm whatever

I have said to be true.

One can always retract

their confession later.

Do you have any other proof?

Sir, bank accounts are being scanned.

There have been money transfers

from various foreign accounts.

Mobile phones, tablets, and laptops,

all electronic devices, are also

being analyzed by forensics.

So, until we get some more evidence--

Kale, we have enough evidence.

I trust Zoya and her

line of investigation.

She's on the right track.

Then, I am convinced that

Srikant is innocent.

On behalf of this committee,

I recommend that the arrest warrant

issued against Srikant

should be withdrawn.

And his family will be taken into

protective custody with immediate effect.

-Yes, sir.

-And, what about his behavior?

He broke the department's protocols

at every instance.

He must be disciplined.

Excuse me, sir.

Srikant has risked his life

for the country many times.

Risking your life for the

country doesn't mean that--

Sharma, I respect what Srikant

has done for the nation.

We all do.

But protocols

exist for a reason.

You know this already.

Yes.

So, let's call Srikant.

Then, we can figure out

what to do with him.

Ms. Zoya,

do you know where Srikant is

at the moment?

No idea, sir.

-How'd it go?

-All clear.

That's great.

Did you get an update from JK?

I'm waiting on that.

Sir.

Can you give us the room for five minutes?

Okay,

Zoya and Punit.

Enough is enough.

Come on, tell me.

Where is Srikant?

Sir, he is in Myanmar.

What?!

He went to Myanmar!

With Stephen.

What?!

Stephen Khuzou?!

He used the route that counterfeit

smugglers use to--

Has he gone mad?!

And why didn't he tell me?

Why?

Sir, he wasn't sure he could trust you.

What nonsense!

Sir, we all suspected that

there was a mole inside TASC,

and we didn't know who to trust.

So, he thought that I

could be… a traitor.

Sir, now that Yatish is caught,

you're in the clear.

Oh! I'm relieved.

Srikant and I go back a long way,

and still, he didn't trust me.

Stupid.

You wanted to see me, Colonel?

What is all this?

This was not part of our deal.

You wanted soldiers for your operation,

and I helped you.

That is not called help.

When you take money,

it's called business.

We agreed only on the attack,

far from my village.

We didn't talk about

bringing Indian soldiers here.

It's a war, Colonel.

So, there will be some prisoners.

And videos of prisoners

will also leak, right?

We are now on the radar

of the Indian government.

Beijing is asking me tough questions.

You're worrying unnecessarily.

You've gone insane.

You're going to get me fucking killed.

I want those Indian soldiers out of here.

Give me some time,

and I'll do something.

Whatever you want to do, do it fast.

I don't want them here.

And until then, I want

no trouble in my village.

Understood?

If any Indian's blood spills here,

I'll fucking kill you.

Sir.

We'll attack tonight.

Before they can even figure

out what is going on,

we have to finish our job

and get out of there.

We shouldn't give them

a chance to recover.

We are vastly outnumbered.

So, in this attack, surprise

is our biggest weapon.

-Understood?

-Yes.

Ulupi.

Until the attack, hand

over all your phones.

Did you get the weapons?

Reinforcements.

Finally.

Please excuse me for a moment.

Sure, sir.

-Yes, sir.

-Hi, Bhavik.

I'm on my way to India

to meet the PM.

I've got some news for you.

By the time I land, I want it out.

Just in case, Basu starts having

second thoughts,

I want public opinion firmly in our favor.

Thank you for the early bonus.

I will get the team on it right away.

It's Temjen, with his usual deliveries.

He's authorized. Let him in.

All clear. You can come out.

Temjen, thank you.

Come.

Something feels off.

There's not a soul here.

Drop your weapons.

Drop it now.

Srikant Tiwari.

The one and only,

Agent Number One.

Legend.

I was searching for you forever,

and here you are,

dropping right into my lap.

You broke my heart, man.

I had a lot of faith in you.

I knew I'd get my hands

on you sooner or later.

But not like this!

Who gets their hands on whom,

time will tell, Rukma.

Hey, bring a chair.

Let's sit and talk.

Soldier to soldier.

Soldier?!

You're not a soldier.

He takes money to kill people.

How does that make him a soldier?!

You keep standing.

Take it back.

Tell me something.

How do you manage your time?

Living this two-faced life

must be tough.

Tell me the truth.

You think you are

a good husband?

Or a good father?

Never mind how you fare as an agent.

At least, I have someone to fight for.

Rukma, tell me something.

Who are you fighting for?

Do you recognize her?

Her name is Nima.

I mean, 'was.'

She loved me a lot.

I don't know how, but she loved me.

And I also loved her.

Really?

Looking at you, it doesn't seem

like you would have any family.

-Right?

-Yes.

I thought so, too.

Me? A family man?

But, I am.

She wanted to marry me.

But you killed her.

Me?

Brother, I've never met her.

You may not have pulled

the trigger, Tiwari.

But she died because of you.

You also take lives.

Calling yourself a soldier

doesn't change that.

Rukma.

Look,

I'm so sorry she died.

But I'm not responsible for her death.

When she fell in love with you,

she signed her own death certificate.

If anyone is responsible

for her death,

it is you.

It's a simple thing.

You killed my wife,

and I want revenge.

Then kill me.

Of course! I will kill you.

All in good time.

I'll take my time.

Until then,

wait for it.

Why the hell are you provoking him?

Why are you adding fuel to the fire?

Don't worry, JK.

He won't kill us here.

That much I have understood.

Bhai, what do we do with them?

Should we kill them?

No. We can't kill them now.

Zhulong is touchy

about the Indian soldiers.

Fucker will lose it if we do something.

Until things settle, put them in a cell.

Then we'll see what to do with them.

Okay, bhai.

I have some good news for you.

They are dropping all

charges against Srikant.

You can take the kids

and go back to Mumbai.

Until things are back to normal,

you will be kept under

TASC's protection.

Any news about Srikant?

I haven't been able to contact him.

I was really hoping

to go back with him.

Suchi, you have to keep the faith.

Trust me, he will come back.

He is one of our best operatives.

You know, Saloni,

Sri has lied to me all my life.

About his work,

about where he is,

but this time I know the truth.

I know why he's out there.

If only it could be like before,

when I didn't know anything,

when I was lied to.

Perhaps it's better to be in

the dark than know the truth.

You know,

every day I dream,

Srikant will walk through that door

and spin yet another long,

lie-filled story.

He will try to reassure me

that everything is all right.

I really miss him.

I want him back, Saloni.

Welcome to ManBharat News.

We have some breaking news for you.

We have credible information

that the Basu government is about

to secretly sign a massive defense deal.

And if this is true,

then it will be the very first time

that Coward Basu has made a bold move.

Finally, she has shown some guts.

Remember, we were the first

to bring you this news.

Please sit.

What would you like?

Tea? Coffee?

Nothing for me, ma'am. Thank you.

A tea for me, please.

You've come to meet me

at such short notice,

thank you so much.

This is my country too, ma'am.

Whenever my country needs me,

I will be there.

Always.

I heard you have

become a UK citizen.

Yes, of course.

But my heart will always be Indian.

By the way, I must appreciate you.

Despite the opposition's hateful

campaigns and social media trolling,

you stuck to your guns when

it came to your policies.

The media is never loyal to anyone.

Especially not when they sell out

to people sitting in the UK or the US.

Anyway, I was hoping for peace

and progress in the northeast,

but look where we are.

I have to sit down

with you and make a deal.

Anyway, we need to

fast-track this deal.

This news has already

been leaked to the media.

Don't worry about this, ma'am.

You know how the media works.

I have initiated the

process with the Collective.

They are ready to start formalities and

close the deal as early as next week.

Once the initial MOU is

signed, shipments can begin.

Okay.

Good.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Ma'am.

Thank you.

Someone, bring us water.

Is anybody listening?

I've been asking for water for an hour.

Hey! Shut up.

Fuckers! They treat us like animals.

We're royally screwed.

Temjen really screwed us.

Unnecessarily, we are stuck--

JK! Hold your tongue!

Temjen would die before he betrays us!

She's right.

I've known Temjen since childhood.

It's not Temjen.

It's Rukma who tricked Temjen

to get to us.

He has sacrificed his life for us.

Understood?

I hope they didn't torture

him before killing him.

Stephen, on his behalf, I'm sorry.

Ulupi. Sorry.

Sorry.

Sorry.

What are you doing?!

No matter how much we apologize,

the thing is, in a little while,

we'll all join Temjen.

Can you please shut

up for a little while?

You're always so negative!

And how is being positive

working out for you?!

You're stuck here like the

rest of us, waiting to die.

If we die, we die!

Oh, of course! It doesn't

bother you at all.

After all, you have lived

a full, wholesome life.

You got a wife, kids. Before that,

you had a girlfriend,

and now you're getting divorced.

You've done it all.

Guess who is going

to die alone? Me!

Just when my dating scene

was about to bear fruit,

it's all over.

I lived single,

I'll die single.

It's the biggest curse in life, Tiwari.

There's a limit for desperation, too!

Here we are facing certain death,

and you're worried about dating!

Worry about how we can get out of here.

You thought we won't catch you, Temjen?

We knew when and where you met them.

We followed you, fucker.

What do we do with him?

Rukma bhai will make an example of him.

There goes the patrol van,

right on schedule.

We have 18 minutes

till the next patrol van comes.

Let's go.

What is going on?

Hey, Benjamin.

Stephen sir.

-All good?

-Superb timing.

I am glad you are all right.

Stephen.

What's going on?

Srikant, this is Benjamin.

The commander of the MCA-S unit

in Myanmar.

Grandpa used to say that there should

always be a backup plan.

Plan B.

I had told him that if we

don't return within 24 hours,

it means that we have been caught.

A unit was already alerted

to secure us.

We don't have much time.

In eight minutes, the next

patrol van will do the round.

What do we do now?

First, we need to free our soldiers.

That is the main leverage that Rukma

can use against our government.

JK, Stephen, both of you will take

our soldiers and reach India safely.

While we get to Rukma.

Srikant, I can stay and help.

You have done enough already, Stephen.

Now your people need you.

Don't worry, I will handle

everything here.

It's too cold.

-Do you have a lighter?

-What?

Vikram.

Srikant.

What are you doing here?

Will you all be able to walk?

All of us are in terrible condition,

but we'll manage.

Okay.

Listen. Take off their uniforms.

Srikant, what are you going to do?

I need to get to Rukma.

Rukma should be in this quarter.

Right now, our people are planting

bombs in every corner of this village.

As soon as they detonate,

there will be chaos.

The enemy will scatter.

This will leave Rukma

alone until backup arrives.

Zhulong will take eight to ten minutes

to arrive with the backup.

Before he does,

we need to get to Rukma.

Stephen, JK, be careful.

Don't get caught.

Fine. You also take care.

Don't you dare die on me, fucker.

Stephen! Go, go, go!

-What happened?

-I don't know, sir.

-Where are these people going?

-There was an attack on the village, bhai.

-What?

-There was an attack on the village.

Check on Srikant Tiwari.

Srikant and his people

have escaped, bhai.

And the Indian soldiers?

I've sent our boys to check on them.

I'll update you as soon as

I learn something.

Zhulong will screw us over.

What are you all doing?

I want backup.

We will send backup in ten minutes.

Faster.

Did you find out who attacked us?

Rukma's prisoners have escaped, sir.

And by the look of it,

some external team

breached the village

to free the prisoners.

Surely, they are the ones attacking us.

That fucking Rukma!

Ulupi!

Srikant.

All good?

All have escaped. Only we are left.

But don't worry,

-we'll hold fort here, you go ahead.

-Okay, let's go.

You find a way to get out of

here, okay?

Give her cover.

Go!

Rukma bhai.

-Rukma bhai.

-Yes.

The Indian soldiers are

not in the holding cell.

They have escaped.

Fucking hell!

Get out of there.

Get ready, everyone,

we have to leave.

Come on.

We need to get out

before Zhulong finds us.

Let's leave from here, bhai.

-Their backup is here.

-What?

Their backup is here. You need to move.

Srikant, Vikram.

Their backup unit is coming.

We need to get out of here.

Come on!

Srikant, we have to go now.

Come on. Move.

Move.

Zhulong's men are coming.

Let's go!

Srikant.

Srikant, where are you going?

I have to go after Rukma.

Are you crazy?

Backup is coming.

We need to leave now.

Vikram, you leave.

I want Rukma.

Srikant.

Either you go with me,

or I go with you. Got that?

I'm not letting you go alone.

Okay.

-Let's go.

-Okay.

Srikant.

Fuck!

Rukma.

Where are you going, fucker?

I am just walking, fucker.

Why are you on my case?

Have I taken a loan from you?

-Stop!

-Stop!

Base 33, come in.

Base 33, come in.

Go for Base 33.

I am JK Talpade from NIA.

ID 5495.

We need clearance to enter.

I have Indian soldiers with me. Over!

Hold for the base command, sir.

Let them come, it's our vehicle.

Come on!

Go!

Sir.

Have all soldiers come?

Two soldiers are remaining.

Move. Hurry up.

Following the hi-tech arms deal,

the situation has turned tense.

Security at the

India-Myanmar border

has been tightened.

The important question is…

Is war imminent?

Open it.

Let him come.

-Tiwari?

-He has gone after Rukma.

Shit!
