1
00:00:24,458 --> 00:00:26,541
<i>Hercules Formation, abort mission.</i>

2
00:00:26,625 --> 00:00:29,250
<i>Negative.
We can't return without Hyena Two.</i>

3
00:00:29,333 --> 00:00:31,041
<i>Hercules One, it is too risky.</i>

4
00:00:31,125 --> 00:00:33,291
<i>There are stingers out there, Hercules.</i>

5
00:00:33,375 --> 00:00:35,791
Nishi's alone.
I won't return without finding him.

6
00:00:35,875 --> 00:00:38,416
<i>You're deviating from
your planned mission.</i>

7
00:00:53,333 --> 00:00:54,750
Stinger spotted.

8
00:01:06,916 --> 00:01:09,250
<i>Chief, we have good news.</i>

9
00:01:09,333 --> 00:01:11,916
<i>We just shot down
an Indian Air Force jet in Kargil.</i>

10
00:01:12,958 --> 00:01:14,041
Brilliant.

11
00:01:15,666 --> 00:01:16,708
Now let's see

12
00:01:17,458 --> 00:01:20,875
how many more pilots will
the Indian Air Force send to die.

13
00:02:12,833 --> 00:02:14,666
<i>The India-Pakistan border</i>

14
00:02:14,750 --> 00:02:17,666
<i>has been the epicenter
of war, suspicion and mistrust</i>

15
00:02:17,750 --> 00:02:19,625
<i>for the past 52 years.</i>

16
00:02:19,708 --> 00:02:22,666
<i>And last year, when both countries
conducted nuclear tests within months,</i>

17
00:02:22,750 --> 00:02:26,166
<i>this mistrust reached its limit.</i>

18
00:02:26,250 --> 00:02:27,958
<i>This time in history was labelled</i>

19
00:02:28,041 --> 00:02:30,791
{\an8}<i>the most dangerous series of events
post-World War II.</i>

20
00:02:30,875 --> 00:02:34,583
<i>But after only seven months,
Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee</i>

21
00:02:34,666 --> 00:02:37,041
<i>on accepting Nawaz Sharif's invitation,</i>

22
00:02:37,125 --> 00:02:39,708
<i>announced a historical
bus service to Lahore.</i>

23
00:02:40,208 --> 00:02:41,625
<i>Now a question arises,</i>

24
00:02:41,708 --> 00:02:43,750
<i>can the defense forces of both countries</i>

25
00:02:43,833 --> 00:02:45,416
<i>accept this gesture of peace?</i>

26
00:03:00,541 --> 00:03:03,208
{\an8}Gentlemen, peace or no peace,

27
00:03:03,291 --> 00:03:06,250
this year too, the Western Command's
war game exercise

28
00:03:06,333 --> 00:03:07,708
will be conducted as scheduled.

29
00:03:07,791 --> 00:03:12,125
Like every year,
your flying skills, alertness,

30
00:03:12,208 --> 00:03:14,750
innovation and bravery will be tested.

31
00:03:14,833 --> 00:03:18,000
{\an8}And as usual, all the squadrons
will be split into two teams.

32
00:03:18,083 --> 00:03:20,541
{\an8}Red Land and Blue Land.

33
00:03:20,625 --> 00:03:23,041
{\an8}However this year, for the first time,

34
00:03:23,125 --> 00:03:24,416
{\an8}Team Blue Land

35
00:03:24,500 --> 00:03:27,708
{\an8}will also have a photo-recce squadron
with them, the Golden Arrows,

36
00:03:27,791 --> 00:03:29,958
{\an8}led by Wing Commander Tony Dhanoa.

37
00:03:30,041 --> 00:03:32,916
{\an8}They will recce for Wolfpack,
the bombing squadron,

38
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,250
{\an8}identify the target for them,
and post-strike also assess the damage.

39
00:03:37,333 --> 00:03:39,000
In the coming month,

40
00:03:39,083 --> 00:03:41,458
there will be five operational rounds.

41
00:03:41,541 --> 00:03:44,416
Then the semi-finals and finals.

42
00:03:44,500 --> 00:03:45,500
Any questions?

43
00:03:45,583 --> 00:03:46,958
No, sir!

44
00:03:47,041 --> 00:03:50,375
Gentlemen, I had asked you
before this exercise started,

45
00:03:51,375 --> 00:03:54,541
how according to you
your squadrons could become war-ready.

46
00:03:54,625 --> 00:03:56,916
{\an8}And I have received your requirements.

47
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,500
Jammer pods, self-defense systems,

48
00:04:00,583 --> 00:04:02,958
advanced flying simulators,

49
00:04:03,041 --> 00:04:06,625
and someone has put in
a demand for night vision goggles.

50
00:04:07,333 --> 00:04:09,750
But Tony…

51
00:04:10,833 --> 00:04:12,583
you haven't asked for a thing.

52
00:04:12,666 --> 00:04:15,458
{\an8}Sir, my squadron has
the youngest fighter pilots

53
00:04:15,541 --> 00:04:17,250
from the Western Air Command.

54
00:04:18,125 --> 00:04:19,166
They are Academy trained,

55
00:04:19,250 --> 00:04:21,916
but flying the MiG-21
for the first time operationally.

56
00:04:22,708 --> 00:04:24,041
Sir, both you and I know,

57
00:04:24,125 --> 00:04:28,041
the MiG-21 has the fastest take-off
and landing speeds in the world.

58
00:04:28,125 --> 00:04:29,458
So before being war-ready,

59
00:04:29,541 --> 00:04:31,708
I want all of my boys
to be MiG ready, sir.

60
00:04:32,708 --> 00:04:35,000
And I don't think we need
any equipment to do that.

61
00:04:36,041 --> 00:04:37,958
What we actually need is a good coach.

62
00:04:38,875 --> 00:04:40,500
And who is this coach?

63
00:04:42,333 --> 00:04:44,333
Squadron leader Ajay Ahuja.

64
00:04:45,208 --> 00:04:48,500
{\an8}<i>I can't think of anyone more capable
for shaping my boys into men.</i>

65
00:04:57,625 --> 00:04:58,875
I'm sorry, Alka.

66
00:05:00,208 --> 00:05:02,208
We have to keep moving all the time
because of me.

67
00:05:03,333 --> 00:05:04,333
Sorry?

68
00:05:06,791 --> 00:05:08,333
But I was just about to say thank you.

69
00:05:09,291 --> 00:05:10,291
For what?

70
00:05:10,375 --> 00:05:12,500
For all the new sarees I have.

71
00:05:14,250 --> 00:05:15,500
At every posting,

72
00:05:16,541 --> 00:05:18,708
all my old sarees become new again.

73
00:05:29,333 --> 00:05:30,375
What's up, champion?

74
00:05:31,125 --> 00:05:32,125
So tell me.

75
00:05:32,708 --> 00:05:33,791
Fourteen times eight?

76
00:05:36,416 --> 00:05:37,250
One, one, two.

77
00:05:37,333 --> 00:05:38,625
Too slow.

78
00:05:39,541 --> 00:05:41,166
Don't you want to be a fighter pilot?

79
00:05:41,250 --> 00:05:44,291
A fighter pilot has to be able to solve
math problems in one second.

80
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,250
Seventeen hundred hours.
You better be ready.

81
00:05:48,333 --> 00:05:50,416
There's an even bigger
swimming pool over here.

82
00:05:50,500 --> 00:05:51,625
Okay, Papa.

83
00:05:51,708 --> 00:05:53,166
- Bye.
- Bye.

84
00:05:56,708 --> 00:05:58,333
You're a a flight commander now.

85
00:05:58,875 --> 00:06:00,833
At least get yourself a new motorbike.

86
00:06:05,083 --> 00:06:06,750
I have 16 MiGs, madam.

87
00:06:46,250 --> 00:06:49,208
{\an8}If a flight commander rides
an obsolete, ancient scooter,

88
00:06:49,291 --> 00:06:51,416
what impression would he leave
on the boys, huh?

89
00:06:52,291 --> 00:06:54,416
Why does everyone hate my scooter so much?

90
00:06:55,208 --> 00:06:56,375
Also, the way I see it,

91
00:06:57,791 --> 00:07:00,166
our MiGs are a lot older
than my scooter, right?

92
00:07:01,291 --> 00:07:02,291
Right, Tony sir?

93
00:07:02,375 --> 00:07:04,250
There's that twisted logic again.

94
00:07:04,333 --> 00:07:05,625
Come here, bring it in.

95
00:07:06,833 --> 00:07:08,291
Welcome to Golden Arrows.

96
00:07:09,458 --> 00:07:11,000
Good to see you again, Ahuja.

97
00:07:11,083 --> 00:07:12,416
Thank you, sir.

98
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,000
Oh, wow.

99
00:07:16,750 --> 00:07:18,083
Annual War Game exercise, sir.

100
00:07:18,166 --> 00:07:19,708
Semi-finals.

101
00:07:19,791 --> 00:07:22,125
It's time for the boys
to meet their new coach.

102
00:07:23,708 --> 00:07:26,375
As the dedicated photo recce squadron,

103
00:07:26,875 --> 00:07:31,208
{\an8}our job is to fly low over the target
and take photos of it.

104
00:07:31,291 --> 00:07:33,166
Then these photos are to be enlarged

105
00:07:33,250 --> 00:07:36,583
{\an8}and the exact strike coordinates are to be
shared with the bombing squadron.

106
00:07:36,666 --> 00:07:40,291
{\an8}The moment you cross this make-shift LoC,
your timer will start.

107
00:07:40,375 --> 00:07:42,250
Forty-five seconds.

108
00:07:42,333 --> 00:07:44,791
If you don't make it back
within 45 seconds,

109
00:07:44,875 --> 00:07:48,250
Red Land's surface to air missiles
will lock on to you

110
00:07:48,333 --> 00:07:51,375
and for all practical purposes,
you're dead.

111
00:07:51,458 --> 00:07:53,458
Which means we lose points.

112
00:07:53,541 --> 00:07:55,041
And that cannot happen.

113
00:07:56,875 --> 00:07:59,000
- Jai Hind, Sir.
- Jai Hind.

114
00:07:59,083 --> 00:08:00,250
At ease, Arrows.

115
00:08:04,625 --> 00:08:07,250
I want you to meet
your new Flight Commander.

116
00:08:08,041 --> 00:08:10,208
Squadron Leader Ajay Ahuja.

117
00:08:10,291 --> 00:08:11,958
He was supposed to join tomorrow.

118
00:08:12,041 --> 00:08:14,500
But I guess, he was dying to see you guys.

119
00:08:14,583 --> 00:08:15,500
What do you think?

120
00:08:15,583 --> 00:08:17,416
What exactly should our strategy be?

121
00:08:17,500 --> 00:08:19,875
Sir, the enemy will have missiles.

122
00:08:19,958 --> 00:08:22,458
{\an8}Our missions should be flown
in radio silence.

123
00:08:22,541 --> 00:08:24,250
{\an8}I'm not talking about that mission.

124
00:08:24,333 --> 00:08:26,000
I'm actually talking about

125
00:08:26,708 --> 00:08:29,291
the India-Pakistan Peace Summit
on February 19th.

126
00:08:29,791 --> 00:08:31,291
For the first time in 52 years,

127
00:08:31,375 --> 00:08:34,541
India's Prime Minister
is going to Pakistan by road.

128
00:08:35,375 --> 00:08:38,458
I'd like to hear what you boys
think about this bus journey.

129
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,541
I think it's a good step, sir.

130
00:08:40,625 --> 00:08:42,708
Both countries have nuclear weapons,

131
00:08:42,791 --> 00:08:44,500
so a permanent solution needs to be found.

132
00:08:44,583 --> 00:08:47,125
Well, sir, a permanent solution
is impossible.

133
00:08:47,208 --> 00:08:49,208
{\an8}Some tensions could ease, but that's it.

134
00:08:49,291 --> 00:08:50,833
{\an8}- But how?
- Mistake.

135
00:08:53,375 --> 00:08:54,666
{\an8}It's a big mistake, sir.

136
00:08:54,750 --> 00:08:57,083
{\an8}A country like Pakistan
can never be trusted.

137
00:08:57,166 --> 00:08:59,166
Peace between India and Pakistan
is also vital.

138
00:08:59,250 --> 00:09:02,125
Yeah, but the other country's intention
should also be the same, Baldy.

139
00:09:02,208 --> 00:09:03,458
Ahuja, what do you think?

140
00:09:04,416 --> 00:09:06,375
Sir, I don't think about
all these things at all.

141
00:09:06,458 --> 00:09:09,250
Exactly. You shouldn't
think about these things.

142
00:09:09,750 --> 00:09:12,000
Politics has nothing
to do with the Air Force.

143
00:09:12,083 --> 00:09:13,333
We are razor blades.

144
00:09:13,416 --> 00:09:15,500
We are trained to cut with precision

145
00:09:15,583 --> 00:09:17,250
and not think about anything else.

146
00:09:17,833 --> 00:09:19,541
We are 17 points behind.

147
00:09:20,125 --> 00:09:22,916
If we don't score 20 points
in the semi-final,

148
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,916
no matter how many stunts we pull off,

149
00:09:25,500 --> 00:09:26,791
the victory will go to Red Land.

150
00:09:30,583 --> 00:09:31,750
Chou…

151
00:09:31,833 --> 00:09:32,916
boys for the mission?

152
00:09:33,500 --> 00:09:35,458
Dhali and Goofy.

153
00:09:35,541 --> 00:09:39,666
Boys, this is the closest you'll ever get
to experiencing war.

154
00:09:41,708 --> 00:09:43,291
It's a war you've never lost, sir.

155
00:09:43,375 --> 00:09:45,333
And I'm not losing it this time either.

156
00:09:47,833 --> 00:09:49,375
Go get me those points.

157
00:09:49,458 --> 00:09:50,708
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.

158
00:10:25,625 --> 00:10:27,208
Pakistan <i>Zindabad,</i> sir.

159
00:10:27,291 --> 00:10:28,291
{\an8}<i>Zindabad.</i>

160
00:10:33,791 --> 00:10:35,375
What brings you here?

161
00:10:35,458 --> 00:10:36,916
The World Cup's around the corner,

162
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,416
so I thought I'd come
and encourage the players.

163
00:10:40,666 --> 00:10:43,250
In fact, the players are not
very different from soldiers.

164
00:10:43,916 --> 00:10:45,916
We're always preparing for the next war.

165
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,000
Very true, sir.

166
00:10:48,916 --> 00:10:50,833
Junaid was just six years old

167
00:10:50,916 --> 00:10:52,875
when he wanted to become a fast bowler.

168
00:10:54,583 --> 00:10:56,666
It's amazing you still remember that.

169
00:10:58,458 --> 00:10:59,458
Of course, Tauqir.

170
00:11:01,833 --> 00:11:05,291
<i>Inshallah</i>, very soon he'll play
for the Pakistan cricket team.

171
00:11:05,791 --> 00:11:10,583
Not while Younis, Akhtar, Akram
are all still in the team.

172
00:11:10,666 --> 00:11:11,666
Looks difficult.

173
00:11:14,250 --> 00:11:15,750
Listen, Tauqir,

174
00:11:15,833 --> 00:11:18,416
when his own father is about to become

175
00:11:18,500 --> 00:11:20,291
the chairman of
the Pakistan Cricket Board,

176
00:11:20,375 --> 00:11:23,000
- why would it be difficult?
- Sir?

177
00:11:23,083 --> 00:11:25,208
The PCB will get a new chair in December.

178
00:11:25,291 --> 00:11:28,000
Who better to lead this post for us

179
00:11:28,083 --> 00:11:30,666
than the star sportsman
of the Pakistan Army?

180
00:11:34,750 --> 00:11:37,833
The Pakistan team
is a really big responsibility.

181
00:11:43,708 --> 00:11:45,500
Are you afraid of responsibility?

182
00:11:46,708 --> 00:11:47,833
No, sir.

183
00:11:49,625 --> 00:11:51,958
Can you get Pakistan
another World Cup victory?

184
00:11:54,875 --> 00:11:56,083
I will do my best.

185
00:12:02,375 --> 00:12:06,458
Then I'm sure Tauqir, you can get
Kashmir for Pakistan as well.

186
00:12:11,041 --> 00:12:12,041
Kashmir, sir?

187
00:12:13,291 --> 00:12:15,750
Every year,
both countries withdraw their armies

188
00:12:15,833 --> 00:12:18,291
from the snow covered mountains
of Kashmir.

189
00:12:18,375 --> 00:12:19,958
As per the Shimla Agreement.

190
00:12:20,708 --> 00:12:25,416
And your office as DGMO
is the one to give these orders, right?

191
00:12:26,833 --> 00:12:27,833
Right, sir.

192
00:12:28,333 --> 00:12:31,375
But this time, our soldiers
will stay where they are.

193
00:12:34,208 --> 00:12:36,208
But it'll be a violation
of the Shimla Agreement.

194
00:12:36,291 --> 00:12:38,833
This is also a direct violation
of the LoC,

195
00:12:38,916 --> 00:12:41,791
because this time
our soldiers will move forward

196
00:12:41,875 --> 00:12:43,208
across the Line Of Control

197
00:12:43,291 --> 00:12:46,250
to capture all the posts
which will be vacated by the Indian Army

198
00:12:46,333 --> 00:12:48,291
as they honor the Shimla Agreement.

199
00:12:48,375 --> 00:12:52,333
Especially those posts from
where India's National Highway One

200
00:12:52,416 --> 00:12:55,333
will be in direct line of sight for us.

201
00:12:57,250 --> 00:13:01,375
But sir, PM Nawaz Sharif is about to hold
peace talks with India.

202
00:13:02,041 --> 00:13:03,041
So?

203
00:13:04,416 --> 00:13:05,291
Pardon me, sir.

204
00:13:06,541 --> 00:13:08,958
Is the Prime Minister aware
of this operation?

205
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,666
This is an army operation, General Zia.

206
00:13:17,416 --> 00:13:19,625
Why do we need
to involve the Prime Minister?

207
00:13:26,541 --> 00:13:28,833
Are the posters for the peace talks ready?

208
00:13:28,916 --> 00:13:30,041
Sir, the layout is ready.

209
00:13:30,125 --> 00:13:32,958
Is the meeting with Faiz's daughter fixed?

210
00:13:33,041 --> 00:13:34,416
No, sir, actually--

211
00:13:34,500 --> 00:13:37,541
Mr. Vajpayee is a huge fan
of Faiz's poetry.

212
00:13:38,708 --> 00:13:40,416
Do this on a priority, please.

213
00:13:40,500 --> 00:13:41,541
{\an8}Sure, sir.

214
00:13:42,625 --> 00:13:44,375
{\an8}Sir, your father is asking for you.

215
00:13:44,458 --> 00:13:46,750
The cabinet has been waiting for a while.

216
00:13:46,833 --> 00:13:47,791
Hmm.

217
00:13:47,875 --> 00:13:52,083
- Should we get the chopper ready?
- There are so many mistakes.

218
00:13:52,166 --> 00:13:53,416
Mr. Aqil,

219
00:13:54,375 --> 00:13:57,250
Mr. Vajpayee will be
the first Indian Prime Minister

220
00:13:57,333 --> 00:13:59,791
of India to set foot on Minar-e-Pakistan.

221
00:13:59,875 --> 00:14:01,666
Understand the significance
of these talks.

222
00:14:01,750 --> 00:14:03,958
- You go ahead. Please have a seat.
- Yes, sir.

223
00:14:07,375 --> 00:14:09,708
Tell me, what's the agenda
for today's meeting?

224
00:14:10,458 --> 00:14:12,333
- Just the peace talks, sir.
- Okay.

225
00:14:13,416 --> 00:14:15,500
Our suggestion is that during these talks

226
00:14:15,583 --> 00:14:20,291
{\an8}we, uh, propose the Chenab River
as the new Line of Control, sir.

227
00:14:21,833 --> 00:14:23,583
Look, uh…

228
00:14:23,666 --> 00:14:25,500
This will be the LoC…

229
00:14:26,250 --> 00:14:28,333
which will be visible even from the moon.

230
00:14:41,333 --> 00:14:43,458
Haven't we discussed this before?

231
00:14:45,666 --> 00:14:50,750
This 80-20 division in favor of Pakistan
will never be accepted by India.

232
00:14:50,833 --> 00:14:53,250
Sir, the Chenab River divides

233
00:14:53,333 --> 00:14:56,083
the Hindu-Muslim population
of Kashmir evenly.

234
00:14:56,166 --> 00:14:58,000
This is a great resolution
for the conflict.

235
00:14:58,083 --> 00:14:59,083
Mr. Aziz…

236
00:15:00,208 --> 00:15:03,166
I'm the one who's been speaking
to Mr. Vajpayee every day.

237
00:15:03,791 --> 00:15:05,125
He'll never agree to this.

238
00:15:05,208 --> 00:15:06,458
Nawaz…

239
00:15:08,250 --> 00:15:11,625
{\an8}you are free to continue your
friendly conversations with him.

240
00:15:12,250 --> 00:15:14,583
But for the actual negotiations

241
00:15:14,666 --> 00:15:16,458
follow Mr. Aziz's lead.

242
00:15:19,625 --> 00:15:22,791
He is far more experienced
in diplomatic talks

243
00:15:22,875 --> 00:15:24,916
than all of us put together.

244
00:15:27,416 --> 00:15:28,416
Yes, Father.

245
00:15:31,375 --> 00:15:34,041
May we proceed with the Indian draft, sir?

246
00:15:34,875 --> 00:15:37,333
What's your opinion on this, Mr. Aziz?

247
00:15:42,958 --> 00:15:45,708
{\an8}Sir, the Chief has assigned
all the important army positions

248
00:15:45,791 --> 00:15:46,875
{\an8}to his own men.

249
00:15:47,416 --> 00:15:48,708
So?

250
00:15:48,791 --> 00:15:51,750
So, sir, our political history
clearly shows that

251
00:15:51,833 --> 00:15:54,041
whenever the army
has expanded its influence,

252
00:15:54,125 --> 00:15:55,166
it hasn't really under--

253
00:15:55,250 --> 00:15:58,583
Mr. Butt, we bypassed three of his seniors
and appointed him as the Army Chief.

254
00:15:59,958 --> 00:16:03,541
If he wants to enjoy the power of being
an Army Chief for now, let him.

255
00:16:03,625 --> 00:16:04,666
What does it matter?

256
00:16:04,750 --> 00:16:06,750
Sir, it is a matter of border positions.

257
00:16:06,833 --> 00:16:09,166
If the Chief tries to be
adventurous in the valley,

258
00:16:09,250 --> 00:16:12,125
the ISI's long-term Kashmir plan
may be at risk.

259
00:16:12,208 --> 00:16:14,333
Also, it's only my duty to warn you, sir.

260
00:16:14,416 --> 00:16:15,541
Absolutely.

261
00:16:16,625 --> 00:16:19,166
And my job
is to understand the difference.

262
00:16:19,250 --> 00:16:22,791
You just focus on ISI operations,
and not on General Musharraf.

263
00:16:26,375 --> 00:16:29,750
{\an8}The new Flight Commander
doesn't seem like a commander at all.

264
00:16:29,833 --> 00:16:32,541
{\an8}You don't gauge an engine's power
from the jet's body, Goofy.

265
00:16:33,375 --> 00:16:35,208
Does the mission seem right to you?

266
00:16:37,250 --> 00:16:39,750
Bad weather above
and anti-aircraft guns below.

267
00:16:39,833 --> 00:16:41,041
Danger everywhere.

268
00:16:41,125 --> 00:16:42,541
Of course, it seems right.

269
00:16:42,625 --> 00:16:43,833
Perfect

270
00:16:43,916 --> 00:16:45,375
Happy landings, Goofy.

271

- Hmm?

<i>Vanguard Control,

Were these rolls part of the briefing?

278
00:17:38,333 --> 00:17:40,166
Sir, that's Flying Officer Dhaliwal.

279
00:17:41,291 --> 00:17:42,458
Very talented.

280
00:17:43,708 --> 00:17:45,250
{\an8}And a bit of show-off as well.

281
00:17:49,500 --> 00:17:50,500
Whoo!

282
00:17:59,583 --> 00:18:00,916
Can we go to the Ops room?

283
00:18:02,208 --> 00:18:03,208
Sure, sir.

284
00:18:19,583 --> 00:18:21,791
Sir, will you be attending
the debrief today?

285
00:18:22,416 --> 00:18:23,541
On my first day?

286
00:18:24,583 --> 00:18:26,500
I think today I'll just observe.

287
00:18:26,583 --> 00:18:27,750
- Hmm.
- Right-o, sir.

288
00:18:28,708 --> 00:18:30,583
Sir, message from met department.

289
00:18:30,666 --> 00:18:32,541
Heavy cloud patch in Trident's route.

290
00:18:32,625 --> 00:18:34,291
- Sir?
- Safety first always.

291
00:18:34,833 --> 00:18:36,291
Break RT silence. Alert them.

292
00:18:37,250 --> 00:18:39,000

<i>exercise caution for large cloud build up.

you really wanna gossip on Channel 2?

299
00:19:11,708 --> 00:19:14,333
Dhali, what are you doing, man?
It's a cloud alert.

300
00:19:14,416 --> 00:19:16,541
We are still in the air, aren't we, Goofy?

301
00:19:16,625 --> 00:19:17,708
Just follow my lead.

302
00:19:17,791 --> 00:19:19,458
This is a semi-final mission.

303
00:19:19,541 --> 00:19:21,500
No matter what, we complete it on time.

304
00:19:27,541 --> 00:19:29,208
Vanguard control Trident two.

305
00:19:29,291 --> 00:19:31,875
The leader isn't responding.
Going ahead as planned.

but the mission is just starting,

315
00:21:31,583 --> 00:21:33,416

00:22:22,291 --> 00:22:24,625
Sir, Trident formation
is heading back to base.

320
00:22:26,916 --> 00:22:28,291
I've changed my mind, Chou.

321
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,000
I…

322
00:22:30,708 --> 00:22:32,583
would like to attend the debriefing.

323
00:22:42,833 --> 00:22:45,083
- Sergeant, take the cam to the PIC room.
- Sir.

324
00:22:47,958 --> 00:22:49,625
Are you okay?

325
00:22:53,625 --> 00:22:55,125
Wasn't it a bit much?

326
00:22:56,958 --> 00:22:58,416
But you felt the rush, right?

327
00:23:08,416 --> 00:23:09,541
Goofy, why did you…

328
00:23:10,666 --> 00:23:12,541
follow the mission instead of aborting it?

329
00:23:12,625 --> 00:23:16,458
Sir, the leader had asked me to follow,
so aborting the mission was not an option.

330
00:23:17,083 --> 00:23:18,250
Textbook wingman call.

331
00:23:20,208 --> 00:23:21,250
Well done.

332
00:23:22,208 --> 00:23:23,250
And you?

333
00:23:23,333 --> 00:23:24,583
The ground orders were clear,

334
00:23:24,666 --> 00:23:26,000
so why did you…

335
00:23:26,916 --> 00:23:28,666
take the risk of flying into the cloud?

336
00:23:29,416 --> 00:23:31,125
For the 20 points of the mission, sir.

337
00:23:31,208 --> 00:23:34,958
There was a high risk of both pilots
colliding in cloud flying.

338
00:23:35,041 --> 00:23:36,208
Did you factor that in?

339
00:23:36,291 --> 00:23:38,000
Sir, we've been flying together
for a year.

340
00:23:38,083 --> 00:23:39,666
We completely trust each other.

341
00:23:41,041 --> 00:23:42,041
And suppose…

342
00:23:44,333 --> 00:23:47,625
you got completely disoriented
while flying through the cloud?

343
00:23:48,333 --> 00:23:50,000
We can easily reorient, sir.

344
00:23:51,083 --> 00:23:53,583
We're the only squadron that
has a Global Positioning System.

345
00:23:57,708 --> 00:23:58,708
Grounded.

346
00:24:01,083 --> 00:24:02,083
For one week.

347
00:24:02,791 --> 00:24:03,750
No sorties.

348
00:24:05,083 --> 00:24:06,125
I'm sorry, sir?

349
00:24:06,208 --> 00:24:08,958
You're restricted
to only ground duties for a week.

350
00:24:09,041 --> 00:24:10,625
Bird clearance, paperwork,

351
00:24:10,708 --> 00:24:13,583
and you'll interpret sortie photos
taken by other pilots as well.

352
00:24:13,666 --> 00:24:16,041
Pardon me sir, but why?

353
00:24:16,125 --> 00:24:19,208
Completing the mission was important,
and I just took a calculated risk.

354
00:24:19,750 --> 00:24:22,000
Sir, if we didn't do this, we…
we would've lost,

355
00:24:22,083 --> 00:24:24,000
and everyone would've
blamed the Golden Arrows.

356
00:24:24,083 --> 00:24:25,583
It's as simple as that, sir.

357
00:24:25,666 --> 00:24:27,083
And there was no other way.

358
00:24:27,166 --> 00:24:28,583
Does everyone feel the same?

359
00:24:30,166 --> 00:24:31,166
That…

360
00:24:31,958 --> 00:24:33,583
that there was no other way to do this?

361
00:24:33,666 --> 00:24:34,791
There was, sir,

362
00:24:35,291 --> 00:24:36,291
another way.

363
00:24:36,375 --> 00:24:38,250
Go on, Baldy. Explain.

364
00:24:38,333 --> 00:24:39,791
Sir, the dog-leg maneuver.

365
00:24:40,625 --> 00:24:42,541
They could have gone around the cloud.

366
00:24:45,500 --> 00:24:48,375
And what about the time
it would've taken to re-route?

367
00:24:48,458 --> 00:24:50,375
It would've taken two minutes at most.

368
00:24:50,458 --> 00:24:52,416
The length of the cloud
was ten kilometers,

369
00:24:52,500 --> 00:24:55,125
and detouring around the cloud
would mean another 20 kilometers.

370
00:24:55,666 --> 00:24:58,416
What about the extra fuel
it would take to go around it?

371
00:25:00,041 --> 00:25:02,583
Sir, at a speed of 800,

372
00:25:02,666 --> 00:25:04,250
whatever fuel would have been required

373
00:25:04,333 --> 00:25:05,750
for the ten-kilometer difference…

374
00:25:06,291 --> 00:25:10,708
I guess more fuel than that would probably
be spent to manage the cloud's turbulence.

375
00:25:12,041 --> 00:25:15,333
So I think dog-leg was a safer
and more efficient option.

376
00:25:16,625 --> 00:25:18,250
Clearly, whatever is safe for me

377
00:25:18,333 --> 00:25:20,708
is probably dangerous
for our dear professor.

378
00:25:20,791 --> 00:25:23,291
And it's fine. Every pilot has their
own risk-taking capacity--

379
00:25:23,375 --> 00:25:24,750
So you're saying you agree?

380
00:25:26,166 --> 00:25:27,625
that there was another way.

381
00:25:27,708 --> 00:25:30,125
Sir, at that time
I was the one in the air.

382
00:25:30,208 --> 00:25:32,083
You weren't there and neither was he.

383
00:25:33,208 --> 00:25:35,750
And if this had been an actual war,
would we have gone around--

384
00:25:35,833 --> 00:25:37,875
Grounded for two weeks, Dhaliwal.

385
00:25:39,125 --> 00:25:41,416
Let's save risks for a real war.

386
00:25:41,500 --> 00:25:43,208
We are not at war right now.

387
00:26:19,791 --> 00:26:21,416
<i>Assalam alaikum,</i> Chief,

388
00:26:21,500 --> 00:26:23,791
{\an8}I have an urgent update for you.

389
00:26:23,875 --> 00:26:25,166
{\an8}Lieutenant General Aziz

390
00:26:25,250 --> 00:26:28,208
{\an8}and Lieutenant General Mahmood
are both on the line.

391
00:26:28,291 --> 00:26:29,625
{\an8}<i>Tell me.</i>

392
00:26:30,416 --> 00:26:31,791
{\an8}Sir, according to our plan,

393
00:26:32,333 --> 00:26:34,875
<i>soldiers from our
12th NLI have already captured</i>

394
00:26:34,958 --> 00:26:36,916
<i>eight vacant Indian posts.</i>

395
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,000
<i>But as soon as they moved forward,</i>

396
00:26:39,083 --> 00:26:41,250
<i>they encountered many hidden posts</i>

397
00:26:41,333 --> 00:26:42,583
<i>which we were unaware of.</i>

398
00:26:46,333 --> 00:26:49,166
<i>Clearly India has been
guarding NH1 like it's a fortress.</i>

399
00:26:49,250 --> 00:26:51,541
<i>And now, when India is honoring
the Shimla Agreement</i>

400
00:26:51,625 --> 00:26:53,500
<i>and has vacated all the posts,</i>

401
00:26:53,583 --> 00:26:55,250
<i>we should take advantage of this, sir.</i>

402
00:26:55,791 --> 00:26:57,666
I think we should take them all, sir.

403
00:26:57,750 --> 00:27:00,416
Hasan, to hold posts in such a large area,

404
00:27:00,500 --> 00:27:03,458
we will have to cancel the winter leave
of 3,000 to 4,000 soldiers.

405
00:27:03,541 --> 00:27:05,916
<i>We are already breaching
the Shimla Agreement</i>

406
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:07,833
<i>by crossing the LoC during winter.</i>

407
00:27:07,916 --> 00:27:11,458
<i>Taking these posts would be
an invasion of 200 square kilometers.</i>

408
00:27:11,541 --> 00:27:14,416
General Mahmood, tell me one thing.

409
00:27:14,500 --> 00:27:16,791
Do you set out to capture Kashmir
every day?

410
00:27:18,833 --> 00:27:19,833
No, sir.

411
00:27:21,666 --> 00:27:24,625
Then you will never get an opportunity
better than this one.

412
00:27:25,958 --> 00:27:26,958
<i>General Hassan?</i>

413
00:27:27,041 --> 00:27:28,166
Yes, sir.

414
00:27:28,250 --> 00:27:30,500
Capture all those posts right away.

415
00:27:31,208 --> 00:27:34,291
<i>They will never expect us to be able
to pull off something like this.</i>

416
00:27:35,041 --> 00:27:37,958
<i>Our audacity will become
our strength in this operation.</i>

417
00:27:38,625 --> 00:27:40,625
<i>Draft a list of the supplies.</i>

418
00:27:40,708 --> 00:27:42,541
<i>I'm sending Tauqir Zia to you.</i>

419
00:27:43,500 --> 00:27:45,041
Pakistan <i>Zindabad.</i>

420
00:27:45,125 --> 00:27:47,541
- <i>Pakistan</i> Zindabad, <i>sir.</i>
- <i>Pakistan</i> Zindabad, <i>sir.</i>

421
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:08,000
- Dhali.
- Hmmm

422
00:28:08,083 --> 00:28:09,083
I have good news.

423
00:28:09,166 --> 00:28:12,000
The bombing squadron has destroyed
Red Land's comms base.

424
00:28:12,083 --> 00:28:13,625
and we've won the semi-finals.

425
00:28:14,458 --> 00:28:16,125
- I'm aware.
- Yeah, that's obvious.

426
00:28:17,208 --> 00:28:18,916
But I've received my next posting.

427
00:28:20,208 --> 00:28:21,416
Mirage Squadron.

428
00:28:22,500 --> 00:28:23,500
Mir…

429
00:28:25,583 --> 00:28:27,875
From a family car straight to a Ferrari.

430
00:28:30,291 --> 00:28:31,541
Whoa!

431
00:28:32,250 --> 00:28:33,750
Congratulations, Sangy.

432
00:28:35,041 --> 00:28:37,291
Well hopefully, you won't have to deal

433
00:28:37,375 --> 00:28:40,666
with a Flight Commander there who would
ground you just for taking risks.

434
00:28:41,708 --> 00:28:43,250
Forget about him, Dhali.

435
00:28:43,333 --> 00:28:45,291
You've won us the semi-finals, man.

436
00:28:45,375 --> 00:28:47,166
Let's go celebrate that.

437
00:28:47,250 --> 00:28:49,041
Come on, drinks on me tonight.

438
00:28:49,125 --> 00:28:51,333
No, you guys enjoy.
I'm not in the mood, thank you.

439
00:28:53,083 --> 00:28:54,083
It is unfair.

440
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:56,541
Should we go talk to him together?

441
00:28:56,625 --> 00:28:59,375
- Let's see what Ahuja Sir says.
- Yeah, let's see.

442
00:28:59,458 --> 00:29:00,500
He's the Flight Commander.

443
00:29:00,583 --> 00:29:03,375
What's the point of talking to him?
He can do whatever he feels like.

444
00:29:03,458 --> 00:29:06,291
He may be the Flight Commander,
but we're also Bachelors.

445
00:29:07,458 --> 00:29:08,791
We can't argue with him…

446
00:29:09,458 --> 00:29:10,708
but we can mess with him.

447
00:29:18,083 --> 00:29:19,125
Let's go.

448
00:29:19,666 --> 00:29:21,458
Uh, where is Mr. Professor?

449
00:29:21,541 --> 00:29:23,458
Probably where he goes every evening.

450
00:29:23,541 --> 00:29:25,041
Let's go, then.

451
00:29:25,125 --> 00:29:27,458
<i>Bala, do you love me or not?</i>

452
00:29:28,250 --> 00:29:30,375
What a weird question. Of course I do.

453
00:29:31,041 --> 00:29:32,375
<i>So will you elope with me?</i>

454
00:29:37,250 --> 00:29:39,916
Madhavi, I'm not even
a Flight Lieutenant yet.

455
00:29:40,458 --> 00:29:42,041
I'm still in training over here and…

456
00:29:42,583 --> 00:29:45,125
And I really don't think
this is the right time.

457
00:29:45,208 --> 00:29:48,125
<i>There's a lot of pressure from my parents.
Please try to understand.</i>

458
00:29:52,916 --> 00:29:53,958
Bouncing?

459
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:55,916
You guys carry on.

460
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:57,250
You don't have a choice.

461
00:30:01,625 --> 00:30:04,000
Madhavi, I'll…
I'll call you in an hour, okay?

462
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:07,041
Hello?

463
00:30:11,208 --> 00:30:12,208
She hung up.

464
00:30:39,500 --> 00:30:41,000
- Good evening, ma'am.
- Hello, ma'am.

465
00:30:41,083 --> 00:30:42,875
Aren't you boys a little late?

466
00:30:43,666 --> 00:30:47,500
Bachelors from the last squadron had come
to bounce on the second day itself.

467
00:30:49,916 --> 00:30:51,250
Your team is here.

468
00:30:52,541 --> 00:30:53,541
Finally.

469
00:30:54,750 --> 00:30:55,750
Welcome home, boys.

470
00:30:55,833 --> 00:30:57,708
Uh, I don't drink.

471
00:30:58,250 --> 00:30:59,250
But I serve.

472
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,500
This bar is all yours. Help yourself.

473
00:31:02,583 --> 00:31:03,916
Dhali, you're on a roll tonight.

474
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:05,958
I'm on my second. He's on his seventh.

475
00:31:06,041 --> 00:31:07,541
- Seventh drink?
- It's free, isn't it?

476
00:31:07,625 --> 00:31:09,541
He only drinks when he's bouncing.

477
00:31:09,625 --> 00:31:12,250
He'll never pay…
He'll never pay for his own drinks.

478
00:31:12,333 --> 00:31:13,791
- Huh?
- Come on.

479
00:31:15,541 --> 00:31:16,541
Start chopping.

480
00:31:20,875 --> 00:31:22,750
We'll make my special recipe tonight.

481
00:31:24,833 --> 00:31:26,666
You boys want to eat, right?

482
00:31:27,416 --> 00:31:28,750
- Yes.
- So, then get to it.

483
00:31:35,166 --> 00:31:36,166
What are you looking at?

484
00:31:36,833 --> 00:31:38,750
This house belongs to Alka Ma'am.

485
00:31:38,833 --> 00:31:39,958
I only live here.

486
00:31:41,291 --> 00:31:42,833
Come on, come on. Hmm.

487
00:31:46,500 --> 00:31:47,916
I'll chop the carrots, okay.

488
00:31:48,500 --> 00:31:49,500
Potatoes.

489
00:31:53,916 --> 00:31:56,333
It seems like we got screwed
on our own bouncing.

490
00:31:57,791 --> 00:32:01,000
By the way, these two seem to be
more in sync than us.

491
00:32:01,541 --> 00:32:03,250
What are you all whispering about?

492
00:32:04,083 --> 00:32:07,083
If you had to talk amongst yourselves,
then why even bother the bouncing?

493
00:32:07,166 --> 00:32:08,333
Let's all hear it, come on.

494
00:32:08,875 --> 00:32:11,500
Uh, sir, actually, uh, Max was asking

495
00:32:11,583 --> 00:32:13,875
when will the finals of the war game
exercises be held?

496
00:32:13,958 --> 00:32:14,791
Mm-mm.

497
00:32:16,083 --> 00:32:18,125
Bouncing rule number one of this house.

498
00:32:19,250 --> 00:32:20,916
Nobody is allowed to talk about flying.

499
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,500
Oh. We won't talk about flying.

500
00:32:23,583 --> 00:32:24,958
- We won't.
- Sorry.

501
00:32:25,041 --> 00:32:26,291
Thank you, Sangy.

502
00:32:26,375 --> 00:32:28,125
But ma'am, this rule is wrong.

503
00:32:28,208 --> 00:32:31,625
If my house had such a rule,
I would've never become a fighter pilot.

504
00:32:32,416 --> 00:32:33,708
This conversation is allowed.

505
00:32:35,250 --> 00:32:36,791
Rajendra Dhaliwal, Ma'am.

506
00:32:36,875 --> 00:32:39,625
My father, he was also in the Air Force.

507
00:32:39,708 --> 00:32:40,708
Ground Duty Officer.

508
00:32:41,250 --> 00:32:43,375
And my mother used to cook amazing food.

509
00:32:44,041 --> 00:32:47,166
So all fighter pilots used to come
for bouncing at our house.

510
00:32:47,958 --> 00:32:50,083
I used to hear everyone's flying stories,

511
00:32:50,166 --> 00:32:51,583
and I got the bug as well.

512
00:32:52,208 --> 00:32:53,791
So where's your father posted now?

513
00:32:53,875 --> 00:32:55,166
- He retired.
- He retired.

514
00:32:58,208 --> 00:32:59,500
Wing Commander Dhaliwal.

515
00:33:01,458 --> 00:33:02,500
'69 batch.

516
00:33:04,041 --> 00:33:05,125
Disciplined officer.

517
00:33:05,625 --> 00:33:07,125
I'd met him briefly in Tezpur.

518
00:33:07,208 --> 00:33:08,375
Hold on.

519
00:33:08,458 --> 00:33:11,041
Ahuja Sir generally knows
everything about everyone,

520
00:33:11,125 --> 00:33:13,208
but I don't know anything.

521
00:33:13,291 --> 00:33:17,208
So how did the rest of you, uh,
catch this bug of flying?

522
00:33:18,458 --> 00:33:19,291
- Hmm?
- Huh?

523
00:33:19,375 --> 00:33:20,375
Sangy.

524
00:33:21,125 --> 00:33:25,291
Um, Ma'am, for us, the only way
to get out of town was the army.

525
00:33:26,333 --> 00:33:29,375
My father, grandfather,
they were both were in the army.

526
00:33:30,250 --> 00:33:32,750
But neither of them could ever
fight in a war.

527
00:33:33,791 --> 00:33:36,958
So, I am just, uh,
trying to repay that debt to the country.

528
00:33:37,625 --> 00:33:40,000
Ma'am, he, uh, doesn't drink that often,

529
00:33:40,083 --> 00:33:41,916
so he's always stuck between
debt and duty.

530
00:33:59,583 --> 00:34:00,750
Ma'am…

531
00:34:00,833 --> 00:34:03,708
when you said "special", I thought
of something completely different.

532
00:34:03,791 --> 00:34:06,500
I never thought that even pilaf
could be this tasty.

533
00:34:06,583 --> 00:34:07,666
What is in it?

534
00:34:08,541 --> 00:34:10,541
Thank you so much for the dinner, ma'am.

535
00:34:10,625 --> 00:34:11,833
I'll have to take your leave.

536
00:34:12,541 --> 00:34:13,833
I have an urgent call to make.

537
00:34:13,916 --> 00:34:15,708
But who's gonna do the dishes?

538
00:34:15,791 --> 00:34:17,041
You forgot the tradition?

539
00:34:18,500 --> 00:34:21,083
Baldy, why don't you just
make a call from here?

540
00:34:21,166 --> 00:34:22,625
We have long distance calling.

541
00:34:22,708 --> 00:34:24,500
Yeah, go ahead.

542
00:34:24,583 --> 00:34:27,000
Sir, he needs a public booth
for a private call.

543
00:34:31,791 --> 00:34:32,916
You can leave, Baldy.

544
00:34:33,541 --> 00:34:34,708
- Thank you.
- Dhali, you'll do

545
00:34:34,791 --> 00:34:36,208
Baldy's share of the dishes, okay?

546
00:34:36,291 --> 00:34:37,458
Yeah. Sure, Ma'am.

547
00:34:38,166 --> 00:34:39,916
But who is she, Professor?

548
00:34:40,625 --> 00:34:42,416
You're ditching
the whole squadron for her.

549
00:34:42,500 --> 00:34:44,083
No one, Dhali, it's…

550
00:34:44,166 --> 00:34:46,958
It's just an urgent family call.
See you all tomorrow.

551
00:34:47,041 --> 00:34:48,625
Thank you, sir. Thank you, ma'am.

552
00:34:48,708 --> 00:34:51,916
But, what is this family emergency
that just came up?

553
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:53,125
Dhali, wallet.

554
00:34:53,208 --> 00:34:55,000
- I'll get you the contact.
- Dhali.

555
00:34:55,083 --> 00:34:57,333
You must have a picture
of whoever you're calling.

556
00:34:57,416 --> 00:34:59,083
- I'm just checking.
- Dhali, please.

557
00:34:59,166 --> 00:35:01,791
- Wait a minute, I just saw something.
- Dhali, enough!

558
00:35:14,416 --> 00:35:15,708
I'll get the first aid for you.

559
00:35:15,791 --> 00:35:18,541
- No, no, ma'am. I'm completely fine.
- No, no, you're not.

560
00:35:18,625 --> 00:35:20,333
- I'll get it.
- I am absolutely fine, ma'am.

561
00:35:29,875 --> 00:35:30,875
Sir.

562
00:35:56,375 --> 00:35:59,583
Sir, I can say with absolute certainty
that this man is planning something.

563
00:35:59,666 --> 00:36:00,875
He's up to no good.

564
00:36:01,458 --> 00:36:03,875
You should not trust him too much, sir.

565
00:36:08,875 --> 00:36:10,000
General.

566
00:36:11,666 --> 00:36:13,500
We were just about to begin. Please.

567
00:36:19,333 --> 00:36:21,916
Prime Minister, you called me urgently.
Is everything okay?

568
00:36:23,666 --> 00:36:25,375
Mr. Butt has some concerns.

569
00:36:27,083 --> 00:36:29,416
I thought we could
discuss them over breakfast?

570
00:36:30,791 --> 00:36:33,041
I've already had breakfast, thank you.

571
00:36:33,125 --> 00:36:34,583
I'll just have some fruit.

572
00:36:35,625 --> 00:36:37,083
So, Mr. Butt.

573
00:36:37,916 --> 00:36:39,500
What concern does the ISI have?

574
00:36:40,541 --> 00:36:42,000
My concern is that

575
00:36:42,083 --> 00:36:45,916
you have cancelled the winter leave
of thousands of Tenth Corps soldiers.

576
00:36:46,750 --> 00:36:48,750
Why are they being sent to Skardu?

577
00:36:48,833 --> 00:36:52,916
So much movement of troops
on the LoC during the peace talks?

578
00:36:53,708 --> 00:36:54,875
It's a little alarming.

579
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,708
Sir, we have information
that some mujahideen

580
00:37:09,791 --> 00:37:11,958
have been planning
to infiltrate the valley.

581
00:37:12,958 --> 00:37:15,250
They want to de-rail the peace talks.

582
00:37:17,083 --> 00:37:20,791
As ISI Chief, you haven't received
any of this intel till now, maybe.

583
00:37:22,583 --> 00:37:24,583
Sir, we've had to cancel
the leave of many people

584
00:37:24,666 --> 00:37:26,458
in order to keep the peace
at the border.

585
00:37:26,541 --> 00:37:29,791
And many of our soldiers
have been posted there.

586
00:37:31,041 --> 00:37:32,875
Which means you're doing all of this

587
00:37:33,958 --> 00:37:35,791
for the security of the peace talks?

588
00:37:37,500 --> 00:37:39,041
Yes, sir. Of course.

589
00:37:43,875 --> 00:37:45,208
Very thoughtful.

590
00:37:45,291 --> 00:37:47,250
Sir, there has been a power struggle

591
00:37:47,333 --> 00:37:50,458
between the army and the government
for many years.

592
00:37:50,541 --> 00:37:52,166
I want to bring about a change.

593
00:37:53,041 --> 00:37:57,375
I would like to show the people
that Rawalpindi and Islamabad

594
00:37:57,458 --> 00:37:59,208
can play on the same ground, sir.

595
00:38:00,083 --> 00:38:01,541
We can both work together.

596
00:38:06,625 --> 00:38:08,750
You see, Mr. Butt? Didn't I tell you?

597
00:38:10,375 --> 00:38:13,125
You don't need to worry
about General Musharraf at all.

598
00:38:13,208 --> 00:38:14,625
He's on our team.

599
00:38:33,541 --> 00:38:34,541
I'm sorry, ma'am.

600
00:38:34,625 --> 00:38:36,000
I've checked a couple of times.

601
00:38:36,083 --> 00:38:38,125
Your name isn't in
the approved visitors list.

602
00:38:38,208 --> 00:38:40,625
Sir, if you could just
let me speak to Bala…

603
00:38:40,708 --> 00:38:42,833
Uh, Flying Officer Bal Reddy once, please.

604
00:38:42,916 --> 00:38:44,208
He'll explain everything to you.

605
00:38:44,291 --> 00:38:46,125
Sorry, ma'am.
There is an exercise underway.

606
00:38:46,208 --> 00:38:47,208
Nothing can be done.

607
00:38:48,083 --> 00:38:50,875
Then let me speak to the CO.
Tony Sir, right?

608
00:39:16,416 --> 00:39:17,416
Sorry, sir.

609
00:39:18,333 --> 00:39:20,416
I… didn't know that…

610
00:39:21,583 --> 00:39:22,916
Madhavi was going to come here.

611
00:39:26,583 --> 00:39:27,583
Chou.

612
00:39:28,291 --> 00:39:30,000
- Sir.
- Is it possible to put her up

613
00:39:30,083 --> 00:39:32,000
in the VIP Guest House?

614
00:39:32,833 --> 00:39:33,833
Fully occupied, sir.

615
00:39:38,875 --> 00:39:39,875
Sir.

616
00:39:42,291 --> 00:39:43,625
She can stay at our place.

617
00:39:46,583 --> 00:39:48,333
Alka and I will be happy to host Madhavi.

618
00:39:51,166 --> 00:39:52,333
Okay, then.

619
00:39:52,833 --> 00:39:54,625
Baldy, you can get back to work.

620
00:39:55,916 --> 00:39:56,875
Yes, sir.

621
00:40:08,875 --> 00:40:10,541
The siren for the War Game finals

622
00:40:10,625 --> 00:40:12,458
can go off at any moment.
We need to be ready.

623
00:40:12,541 --> 00:40:14,833
Our target is going to be
Red Land's key airbase.

624
00:40:15,708 --> 00:40:18,458
But this time, we take photos after,

625
00:40:18,541 --> 00:40:19,625
and not before the bombing,

626
00:40:20,166 --> 00:40:24,083
so that we can find out if every bomb fell
on its target or not.

627
00:40:24,625 --> 00:40:26,000
Battle damage assessment.

628
00:40:26,625 --> 00:40:29,500
It's a lot more dangerous
than photo recon flying.

629
00:40:29,583 --> 00:40:32,583
Because we won't have
the element of surprise with us.

630
00:40:32,666 --> 00:40:34,833
Their radars are going
to be waiting for us.

631
00:40:34,916 --> 00:40:37,041
And not to forget surface-to-air missile.

632
00:40:40,708 --> 00:40:44,791
So this time
we're going to try a new strategy

633
00:40:45,416 --> 00:40:47,833
which will be useful to us
not just in war games,

634
00:40:47,916 --> 00:40:49,666
but in an actual war as well.

635
00:40:59,458 --> 00:41:01,458
If this is the enemy's radar screen…

636
00:41:03,833 --> 00:41:05,750
then how many dots will you see on it?

637
00:41:06,625 --> 00:41:08,833
Uh, sir… six.

638
00:41:15,125 --> 00:41:16,166
Exactly.

639
00:41:16,916 --> 00:41:19,125
Six jets in close formation.

640
00:41:19,208 --> 00:41:23,416
So close that the enemy's radar screen
shows only one big dot on it.

641
00:41:24,208 --> 00:41:28,083
And the enemy should believe
that it's one big transport aircraft.

642
00:41:28,166 --> 00:41:30,833
Until the target,
we'll fly in close formation

643
00:41:30,916 --> 00:41:33,041
and break our formation
at the last minute,

644
00:41:33,125 --> 00:41:34,500
and take photographs.

645
00:41:34,583 --> 00:41:36,625
And after taking the photos,

646
00:41:36,708 --> 00:41:38,416
before their interceptors arrive,

647
00:41:38,500 --> 00:41:40,666
we would have already crossed the mock LoC

648
00:41:41,208 --> 00:41:43,166
into friendly skies.

649
00:41:43,250 --> 00:41:44,333
Clear?

650
00:41:47,833 --> 00:41:49,958
What's wrong, boys? Too risky?

651
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:53,041
Dhali?

652
00:41:53,583 --> 00:41:54,916
I was planning to reinstate you.

653
00:41:57,875 --> 00:41:59,291
Well, if you can't do this, then--

654
00:41:59,375 --> 00:42:01,041
No, we… we can do it, sir.

655
00:42:01,125 --> 00:42:02,375
We… we'll do it.

656
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:04,000
Come again?

657
00:42:04,083 --> 00:42:05,541
We'll do it, sir.

658
00:42:07,291 --> 00:42:08,291
Good.

659
00:42:10,708 --> 00:42:12,750
And Dhali, this time
you won't be flying with Goofy.

660
00:42:15,333 --> 00:42:16,958
I've already shuffled your wingmen.

661
00:42:17,041 --> 00:42:18,750
Go check the flying program board.

662
00:42:42,541 --> 00:42:43,875
Baldy, call in position.

663
00:42:43,958 --> 00:42:45,625
I'm at 700. Match my speed.

664
00:42:50,583 --> 00:42:51,583
<i>In position.</i>

665
00:42:52,375 --> 00:42:53,916
Now maintain position, Baldy.

666
00:43:05,083 --> 00:43:07,208
<i>Sangy joining up. Goofy, call in position.</i>

667
00:43:08,250 --> 00:43:09,541
<i>Goofy joining up.</i>

668
00:43:11,208 --> 00:43:12,375
<i>Teekay joining up.</i>

669
00:43:12,458 --> 00:43:13,833
<i>Max joining up.</i>

670
00:43:14,458 --> 00:43:17,375
<i>Tridents,
the diamond formation is complete.</i>

671
00:43:17,458 --> 00:43:18,750
<i>Let's maintain speed.</i>

672
00:43:18,833 --> 00:43:20,208
<i>Let's not mess it up, guys.</i>

673
00:43:24,125 --> 00:43:26,541
Baldy, too close, too close.
You're falling behind.

674
00:43:26,625 --> 00:43:28,250
Sorry, Sangy, maintaining.

675
00:43:28,333 --> 00:43:30,541
<i>Baldy, it's not
a school bus, man, maintain 700.</i>

676
00:43:30,625 --> 00:43:32,791
Dhali, should we reduce speed
and match up to Baldy?

677
00:43:32,875 --> 00:43:35,208
Negative. The mission has
to be carried out at 700.

678
00:43:35,291 --> 00:43:38,625
- <i>Baldy, increase your speed.</i>
- Roger, increasing.

679
00:43:46,416 --> 00:43:47,750
<i>Formation stable at 700.</i>

680
00:43:48,666 --> 00:43:49,833
Ready to turn left.

681
00:43:50,416 --> 00:43:51,416
Baldy, be on guard.

682
00:43:53,583 --> 00:43:55,833
<i>Tridents, turn left 053.</i>

683
00:44:01,291 --> 00:44:05,250
<i>Formation stable at turn,
accelerate to 750 now!</i>

684
00:44:05,333 --> 00:44:07,125
<i>Baldy, what the hell are you doing?</i>

685
00:44:07,208 --> 00:44:08,958
<i>You're lagging again.</i>

686
00:44:09,708 --> 00:44:12,250
Baldy, you're not even close
to MAC 1. Maintain 750.

687
00:44:12,750 --> 00:44:14,333
I'm… I'm trying.

688
00:44:14,416 --> 00:44:17,041
Why aren't you listening?
Let's maintain speed with Baldy.

689
00:44:17,125 --> 00:44:19,000
Negative, let's stick to 750.

690
00:44:19,083 --> 00:44:20,958
Everyone, 750 now.

691
00:44:21,875 --> 00:44:23,958
Baldy, what's wrong with you?
We'll collide.

692
00:44:24,041 --> 00:44:25,333
Teekay, peel off! Now!

693
00:44:25,416 --> 00:44:26,500
Teekay peeling off

694
00:44:26,583 --> 00:44:29,041
Arrows, peel off! Abort! Abort! Abort!

695
00:44:36,166 --> 00:44:37,333
Come on, guys.

696
00:44:56,541 --> 00:44:57,833
Sit, sit, sit, please.

697
00:44:59,875 --> 00:45:02,541
What happened? What the hell
are you all so sad about?

698
00:45:03,708 --> 00:45:05,041
It was just practice.

699
00:45:05,125 --> 00:45:07,375
It wasn't some
war exercise mission, right?

700
00:45:08,375 --> 00:45:10,125
Another round for everyone, please.

701
00:45:11,333 --> 00:45:12,333
Sangy?

702
00:45:13,541 --> 00:45:16,291
We usually celebrate life
after close calls, don't we?

703
00:45:16,375 --> 00:45:19,750
We do, sir, but today's call
was a bit too close.

704
00:45:21,583 --> 00:45:23,083
We almost collided.

705
00:45:23,791 --> 00:45:24,833
Mm-hmm?

706
00:45:25,750 --> 00:45:28,875
Sir, maybe because we were flying
in formation of six for the first time

707
00:45:28,958 --> 00:45:31,125
which is why staying in sync
with each other

708
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:33,166
was a little difficult.

709
00:45:33,250 --> 00:45:34,875
No sir, it was my fault.

710
00:45:37,125 --> 00:45:39,666
Sir, it was my fault. I…

711
00:45:41,208 --> 00:45:42,500
I was struggling to…

712
00:45:43,125 --> 00:45:44,583
match Dhali's speed up there.

713
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,916
Sir, the problem was
in the exercise selection.

714
00:45:51,458 --> 00:45:52,541
Okay.

715
00:45:54,041 --> 00:45:57,250
Sir, Ahuja Sir makes us do
extremely risky exercises.

716
00:45:57,333 --> 00:45:59,500
Which is fine with me.
I'm… I'm up for it.

717
00:46:00,500 --> 00:46:03,541
But suddenly changing
my wingman, sir, that's…

718
00:46:05,166 --> 00:46:06,791
How do we achieve perfection?

719
00:46:10,291 --> 00:46:11,458
"Suddenly"?

720
00:46:16,708 --> 00:46:20,208
When a random technical glitch happens
in the air, it happens suddenly.

721
00:46:21,416 --> 00:46:24,000
And when it comes to deciding to eject,

722
00:46:24,083 --> 00:46:27,291
no one leaves home thinking
they'll have to eject that day.

723
00:46:29,166 --> 00:46:30,375
It all happens suddenly.

724
00:46:31,291 --> 00:46:35,583
I haven't called Ahuja here to conduct
routine exercises with all of you.

725
00:46:37,083 --> 00:46:40,500
I've invited him here
so he can make you all war ready.

726
00:46:42,875 --> 00:46:44,541
Because when a war breaks out…

727
00:46:46,416 --> 00:46:47,958
it happens suddenly.

728
00:46:49,416 --> 00:46:51,916
If you really consider
yourselves fighter pilots…

729
00:46:54,541 --> 00:46:57,375
then you must have the courage
to accept every challenge.

730
00:46:58,041 --> 00:46:59,583
Don't complain about it.

731
00:47:01,375 --> 00:47:03,666
We're meant to be razor blades, right?

732
00:47:03,750 --> 00:47:05,000
Yes, sir.

733
00:47:07,208 --> 00:47:09,083
Then bloody behave like one.

734
00:47:56,208 --> 00:47:57,583
Pakistan <i>Zindabad.</i>

735
00:47:57,666 --> 00:47:58,791
Pakistan <i>Zindabad.</i>

736
00:47:58,875 --> 00:48:00,166
Welcome to Skardu, sir.

737
00:48:01,875 --> 00:48:02,916
Hassan.

738
00:48:03,833 --> 00:48:07,375
What the hell are these mujahideen
doing at the army base?

739
00:48:09,208 --> 00:48:10,291
This way, sir.

740
00:48:11,333 --> 00:48:12,958
I'll explain it to you.

741
00:48:30,500 --> 00:48:34,416
So the Pakistan Army is going to work
with the mujahideen now?

742
00:48:36,708 --> 00:48:38,458
Do you really think
they are the mujahideen?

743
00:48:41,583 --> 00:48:43,416
Then the Indians
will also think believe it.

744
00:48:44,750 --> 00:48:46,708
They will also believe
that the Pakistan Army

745
00:48:46,791 --> 00:48:49,000
has nothing to do with this infiltration.

746
00:48:49,583 --> 00:48:52,500
Because we will only
talk to them in Pashto.

747
00:48:53,375 --> 00:48:55,833
But the truth is
that they are not mujahideen.

748
00:48:56,791 --> 00:48:59,041
These are 2,000 soldiers
from our 12th NLI.

749
00:48:59,125 --> 00:49:01,666
- <i>Nara-e-Takbeer!</i>
- <i>Allahu Akbar!</i>

750
00:49:01,750 --> 00:49:03,791
- <i>Nara-e-Takbeer!</i>
- <i>Allahu Akbar!</i>

751
00:49:03,875 --> 00:49:06,125
- <i>Nara-e-Takbeer!</i>
- <i>Allahu Akbar!</i>

752
00:49:06,208 --> 00:49:08,416
- <i>Nara-e-Takbeer!</i>
- <i>Allahu Akbar!</i>

753
00:49:08,500 --> 00:49:10,583
- <i>Nara-e-Takbeer!</i>
- <i>Allahu Akbar!</i>

754
00:49:17,041 --> 00:49:18,041
Sir.

755
00:49:18,958 --> 00:49:21,666
You had mentioned eight posts
and 100 soldiers.

756
00:49:21,750 --> 00:49:24,166
But the kind of preparations
being carried out in Skardu

757
00:49:24,250 --> 00:49:25,916
is nothing less than a war, sir.

758
00:49:28,958 --> 00:49:30,666
General Zia, you look quite fresh today.

759
00:49:30,750 --> 00:49:33,750
It's like the crisp mountain air
suits you.

760
00:49:41,208 --> 00:49:45,000
General Zia, the more posts
that we end up capturing,

761
00:49:45,583 --> 00:49:47,583
the more pressure we can put on India.

762
00:49:47,666 --> 00:49:50,166
Sir, no doubt,
we can hold off the Indian Army

763
00:49:50,250 --> 00:49:51,291
with the height advantage.

764
00:49:51,375 --> 00:49:54,291
But what if they end up getting
their air force involved?

765
00:49:58,958 --> 00:50:01,583
We have asked
the German and Russian air forces

766
00:50:01,666 --> 00:50:03,166
and double checked this.

767
00:50:03,250 --> 00:50:05,541
It's impossible for any air force,

768
00:50:05,625 --> 00:50:08,000
to operate in that terrain
and at those heights.

769
00:50:08,875 --> 00:50:10,208
And this is a proven fact.

770
00:50:10,291 --> 00:50:14,416
Sir, I still feel the least we can do
for our soldiers on those peaks

771
00:50:14,500 --> 00:50:15,958
is arm them with Stinger missiles.

772
00:50:16,875 --> 00:50:18,125
The mujahideen.

773
00:50:18,833 --> 00:50:21,125
They are not our soldiers.
They are the mujahideen.

774
00:50:21,208 --> 00:50:22,208
You understand?

775
00:50:24,833 --> 00:50:28,125
You are the DGMO, right?
So give them the Stinger missiles.

776
00:50:28,791 --> 00:50:29,791
What's wrong?

777
00:50:30,375 --> 00:50:32,833
But sir, Stinger missiles
are not regular weapons.

778
00:50:32,916 --> 00:50:36,375
We will surely need
the PM's approval for mass mobilization.

779
00:50:51,625 --> 00:50:53,666
You don't have to worry so much, Tauqir.

780
00:50:57,041 --> 00:50:59,875
If Pakistan wants to get Kashmir
from India,

781
00:51:01,500 --> 00:51:04,291
then we will have to put in
some more effort.

782
00:51:05,750 --> 00:51:06,916
When the time is right,

783
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:11,166
I'll go to the PM myself
and get all the necessary approvals.

784
00:51:15,083 --> 00:51:16,666
We must snatch Kashmir.
