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?
