Vijay is dead, Anita.
- (gunshot firing) - (Vijay grunting)
Manindar killed him right in front of my eyes.
I really loved you.
(gunshot firing)
I'm sorry, Saroj.
I'll never be able to forgive myself.
Vijay was...
(sobbing)
the bravest man I ever knew.
(melancholic music)
That's it. That concludes the story.
Thank you, Abbas. We will contact you if needed.
Sure, sir.
Excuse me.
(phone ringing)
I was just thinking about you, sir.
- Are you done or not? - I have just left.
- Come soon. - Yes, sir.
(keypad dialing)
(phone ringing)
- Hello. - Farooq!
Sir!
Why didn't you call me yesterday?
I told you to call me every Thursday without fail!
I'm sorry, sir. I couldn't call you. I had an issue to resolve.
- All okay? - Absolutely, sir. I'll call you back.
- Bye. - Bye.
Guys, this is exactly what I'm trying to explain that--
- (upbeat music) - (punches landing)
(gun cocking)
(grunts)
- You have lost as usual. - I see! You cheated.
No, this was you cheating.
This is what I kept, and I won!
What spelling is this?
(Farooq) I'm sorry, sir. I couldn't call you. I had an issue to resolve.
(title music)
By the time this message reaches you, they would've arrested me
and I will be in jail.
(reporter 1) Imran Khan is facing more than 100 legal cases,
- involving corruption and terrorism. - It's a very sad day.
(reporter 2) Pakistan has plunged into chaos.
The streets have turned into battle zones.
(reporter 3) We see bullets being fired point-blank at the crowd.
No! How can we release him so soon?
It has been only three days since he was arrested.
Let the judiciary do its job.
We won't put pressure on it.
They are releasing videos on Twitter, sir.
The international media is creating a sympathy wave worldwide
- by presenting Mr. Khan as a victim. - (phone vibrating)
People are growing restless, Mr. Asif.
- Hello. - (Himmat) How's it going, Altaf?
Praise be to the Lord!
The situation here is precarious. Please call later.
(chuckles) No...
If you switch off your phone tonight, how will we talk tomorrow?
(tense music)
What do you want?
Weren't you the one who tipped PM Imran
about the army's plan to attempt a coup?
You know your game can be up at any time
and so you're trying to get your family to defect,
but it seems like a tough ask.
In such a situation, your saviour is here to help.
In return, your saviour only wants an address.
Whose address?
An aide of mine has been picked up from Nepal.
Haven't you guys been active there lately?
So, I want you to track him down.
In return,
I'll ensure your family leaves Pakistan safely.
(clicks tongue)
Don't think too much.
Neither of us have time.
How do I trust you?
My friend, since you mentioned trust,
let me explain your situation to you.
You're a part-time friend of ours based in Rawalpindi.
If this information leaks, Altaf...
you'll be done for.
Your family is in danger.
Instead of disregarding your plight,
I'm looking to save you and your family.
Whom can you trust
if not me, Altaf?
Send me your aide's details.
(intense music)
(roaring)
(intense music rises)
(projections roaring)
ID, please.
Go ahead.
(intense music continues)
(crowd applauding)
(emcee) And now, ladies and gentlemen,
the person often referred to as
the most intelligent mind in the field of artificial tech...
The man responsible for the digital revolution in India
and for shaping the Asian AI interface.
It's my privilege and honour
to call upon Dr. Piyush Bhargav from Bharat,
as he always insists on being called.
(crowd applauding)
Thank you! Thank you.
Thank you, all. Thank you.
Thank you, Dr. Istvan, for the warm and kind welcome.
At the outset, let me clarify
I insist on Bharat
because Bharat reminds me of my roots.
In fact, Bharat was the most tech savvy civilisation
even in ancient times.
The ancient texts, they mention a Yantrakar,
the first robot maker from Bharat,
who came from Patliputra,
the present day Patna in Bihar.
(intense music)
Status?
Sir has reached Patna.
- Stay alert. - Yes, sir.
(phone ringing)
Yes, Rakesh?
We are running a bit late, sir. But all under control.
- Send him a soft signal after two minutes. - Sir.
- Vinod. - Hmm.
40% off.
- Come on. Let's make the most of it. - Let's go.
(intense music)
- Ready, boys? - Yes, we are.
Artificial Intelligence is beautiful,
but Artificial Intelligence is also very dangerous.
We are empowering a tech with our best minds,
our best resources, our entire history!
I recommend control and monitoring of AI
since AI has the power to rule us,
to enslave us.
Mind you. If, in the near future,
the defenders of AI use a shlok, a verse from the Bhagavad Gita,
to justify their chaos,
the AI will answer back from the same Bhagavad Gita,
justifying its actions.
(crowd applauding)
Questions, please.
Yes?
Doctor, can you give an example of how dangerous AI can get?
(soft music)
(music intensifies)
(crowd applauding)
This has been our biggest blessing,
but this is also something we need to guard ourselves against.
Yes?
Sir, can we predict that future wars
are going to be largely based on a country's AI capabilities?
Future wars will rely heavily on AI capabilities.
It will also include unmanned military machines,
slaughter bots, cyber warfare, robotics,
autonomous systems...
My personal favourite is the virtual soldier.
You saw a demo of that, right?
- Yes. - Yes...
I know there are many questions, but I have to leave now.
I suggest you write me an email.
Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.
(crowd applauding)
Thank you.
(intense music)
(door clicks)
Listen, there isn't anything interesting here.
Let's go to some other shop.
- My bag! - Hey!
- Vinod! - Get him!
(bodyguard) Hey, stop! Hey!
- Stop! - Hey! Watch where you're going!
Hey!
- Are you okay? - Yes, I'm okay.
(grunts)
(thuds)
Smriti!
Smriti! Smriti!
Smriti!
(thrilling music)
Smriti! Smriti!
- (glass shatters) - (people screaming)
(thrilling music rises)
- Did we get late? - Don't worry, sir. We'll get there on time.
Okay.
Come.
(elevator button clicks)
(intense music builds)
(gunshots going off)
What? Hey!
Hey! What's happening? Who are you?
- Hey, wait! - Move!
What is happening here?
- (car honks) - (tyres screech)
(intense music continues)
(flesh squelches)
Vishal, status?
Vishal, come in.
Vishal, come in!
Ajit. Vishal.
What is happening there?
(intense music rises)
What do you want? What do you want?
- Leave me! - (gunshot going off)
What's going on?
(gunshot firing)
(flesh squelches)
(intense music continues)
(gunshots going off)
Leave me. No...
What are you doing?
Leave... Where are you taking me?
Where do these steps go?
(man grunts)
(gunshots firing)
What's going on? Leave me.
Where are you taking me?
(intense music continues)
- (gunshot firing) - (glass shatters)
(gunshot going off)
What is going on here? What is going on?
Leave me.
(car tyres screech)
Help! Help!
Where are you going?
(intense music rises)
(gunshot going off)
(panting)
(panting heavily)
(gun cocks)
(intense music builds)
(gunshot firing)
(music turns melancholic)
- "Wage." - (phone ringing)
(landline ringing)
(phone continues ringing)
(phones, landlines ringing)
(phone ringing)
Abbas, I had to leave urgently.
I'll see you tomorrow.
(dramatic music builds up)
(machine beeping)
Sir.
Yeah.
Sir.
Let's go.
(intense music continues)
How the hell did this happen?
We followed every protocol.
Shekhawat's murder and Dr. Bhargav's abduction
was a double strike!
It means we failed twice in one night, Virendra.
Please share with the team what Dr. Bhargav is for our nation.
Sir.
Gentlemen, Dr. Bhargav was heading one of our most ambitious
and highly classified programmes under the PMO and the Ministry of Defence.
When the PMO asked for security clearance for his travel, we...
we flatly refused.
We knew that Dr. Bhargav
was the prime target of our enemy countries'
intelligence agencies.
But despite our rejections and disapprovals,
the PMO gave Dr. Bhargav permission to travel.
Which means our responsibility related to his security increases.
Yes, sir.
It's live, sir.
Good evening, sir.
Good evening. Please start.
Sir, this is an unidentified lead involved in Dr. Bhargav's kidnapping.
I'm in touch with the local police in Budapest for more footage and assistance.
- And they are fully cooperating. - (message beeps)
Do we have any leads?
Negative, sir.
We have put surveillance everywhere and activated all our networks.
But we are still waiting for a breakthrough, sir.
Excuse me, sir. I...
Ajit, when Dr. Bhargav was kidnapped, what was the time?
4:35 p.m., EU time zone, sir.
It means 21:05 hours in India. Correct?
No, sir. It's summer now.
There's a difference of three and a half hours.
20:05 hours.
And Shekhawat's assassination...
I'll check with the DCP of that zone.
- 08:02 p.m. - Okay.
(keyboard clicking)
What do you think, Himmat?
Both these incidents are linked, sir.
Both these operations have been carefully planned and executed.
- Both kidnapper and killer... - What... Hey!
...had accurate information
of Dr. Bhargav and Shekhawat's travel routes and locations.
An hour has passed, sir. I just checked our system.
The kidnapper is nowhere to be found on our network database of spies.
Neither in Budapest nor anywhere in the European Union.
Which tells me
that they are mercenaries or contract killers who have been hired,
which, in turn, tells me that this is a big conspiracy.
And the mastermind is being very cautious.
They will move Dr. Bhargav very quickly, sir.
As you all know,
independent contractors won't be able to roam freely in EU for long
without intel support.
They will definitely cross the border, sir.
And the closest borders are Slovenia, Serbia, and Ukraine.
Ukraine, as you know, isn't tourist friendly.
So, going there is unlikely.
So, we are left with Serbia and Slovenia.
Our focus should be on their borders, sir.
And if Dr. Bhargav is so important,
I suggest we launch a full-scale rescue operation
as soon as possible.
Sir, who will lead the operation?
(clock ticking)
Sir, if you don't mind, I think Himmat Singh should lead this operation.
What say, Mr. Chaddha?
Yes, sir. I think Himmat is the right person for this.
Himmat, take over Dr. Bhargav's case.
Today is Friday.
Tomorrow morning, I would like to have breakfast with all of you
with news of Dr. Piyush Bhargav's safe recovery.
- Is that clear? - Yes, sir.
All the best, then.
Sir, one more thing. I know it's not my job, but...
I'd like to be involved in the investigation of Shekhawat's assassination.
Sir, that's not needed.
Delhi Police's investigation is in full swing. We'll solve the case soon.
Do you have a problem if he joins the investigation?
Not at all, sir.
I think it's a good idea.
Thank you, sir.
(upbeat music playing over speakers)
Good evening, sir. What can I get you?
(laughs) Hey, don't ask me every day.
- Get what you always do. - Okay.
(phone ringing)
- Sir. - Where are you?
Sir, I just got home.
Is there a wedding at your place? Why is the music playing?
- Sir, actually-- - Get to Worldmark Aerocity.
An incident has taken place there.
I want a report.
Sir!
Your drink, sir.
Hold it.
I'll be back.
(phone ringing)
- Yes, Altaf? - My aide found out. It's a Chinese gang.
They will shift your guy somewhere else in an hour.
Do one more thing for me, Altaf.
Tell your men to save my guy
and hand him over to the SSB on the Nepal border.
This is not what we decided, Himmat!
You showed your true colours.
- You Indians-- - Hey! Don't get too excited.
My guy is risking his life to get your family out of there.
Should I show you my true colours?
I'm being nice, so you're taking me lightly!
It's a fair deal, Altaf.
You're getting my guy out safely, and I'm getting your family out safely.
It's simple.
I'm sorry.
I'm stressed out, so I was rude.
But promise me, Himmat. You'll ensure they get out of here unharmed.
I can be killed at any time.
But no harm should befall my family.
I give you my word.
If my guy is saved, your family won't suffer a scratch.
Okay.
I'll need money. I'll have to hire a local gang.
Send me the number of your man there.
And bid your family goodbye.
A blue van will get to you.
(van horn honks)
(emotional music)
- Will you look after your mom, dear? - I will.
Greetings.
(emotional music continues)
(engine starts)
(notification chimes)
(intense music)
(keyboard clicking)
(yelp, grunts)
(panting)
You guys are so happy banning our apps,
but you can't stop having trade with us.
Only if we stop the supply of paracetamol,
your whole country will die of normal flu.
How many hours have passed since you captured me?
Six hours.
And nobody came for you.
Even your boss abandoned you.
You are all on your own.
Tell us about the Nepal operation and you shall go free.
(grunts)
Stop!
(notification chimes)
(gun clicks)
(thrilling music)
We are funding the local ruling party.
But they are with us.
(chuckles) No, they are not.
They are playing double.
Do you have any proof of this?
I can tell you about all the channels they smuggle from.
There is this guy...
Bibek.
That's the guy who smuggles.
(thrilling music rises)
(gunshot going off)
(gunshot firing)
(dramatic music fades off)
(phone ringing)
Sir! Thank you.
They will drop you off at the Raxaul border.
Wait for my call once you get there.
Sir, for once, ask me how I am doing.
I didn't train you to get caught.
- I'm in a foul mood. - (phone vibrating)
I'm getting another call. I'll talk to you later.
Okay, sir.
Yes, Abbas?
The bodyguard killed him, sir.
He's absconding.
He vacated the staff quarters three months back
on the pretext of needing a bigger house
as his family was going to visit.
Nobody has his current address.
Can you find it?
If it's in Delhi, I'll surely find it, sir.
I'll call you back.
It's a 180 billion fraud, damn it!
Did you also have an account with Punjab Haryana Bank?
No. My grandpa did.
He was going to contribute towards the down payment for my new apartment.
But his account has been blocked.
Now, he can't withdraw more than ₹3,000 from his account at a time.
I swear! Once I get my hands on those who committed this fraud,
I won't spare them.
- (chuckles) - Sir.
Sir, we've downloaded all of Mr. Shekhawat's data.
The printouts are on your table, and...
Send me the details of all our operatives
who got martyred and those who are on the field in Budapest,
- including embassy officials. - Sir.
- Avinash is still in Vienna, right? - Yes, sir.
- Tell him to leave for Budapest immediately. - Okay, sir.
(happy, relaxing music)
- Cheers! - (Avinash) That's what happened.
(both laughing)
(woman) You're so funny.
When I told my father you were into import and export,
he said he'd like to meet you immediately.
I am so scared of your father.
No. As an army man, he looks tough, but his heart is very soft.
(notification chimes)
Excuse me.
What happened?
I have to leave for some urgent work.
Check, please!
But you said we'd have dinner.
My father messaged. Something urgent has come up.
We'll have dinner tomorrow, okay? Check, please!
What's wrong with you?
You're scared of my father, you're scared of your father!
Go to hell and don't call me ever again!
- Okay, babe. - Don't call me "babe."
Never let me settle down!
Thank you, sir.
Yes, Suresh?
- Sir... - Sit. Sit.
Sir, there is heavy security on the Hungary-Serbia border.
But since Slovenia is a European Union member,
travel on that border is almost hassle-free.
This looks like a safer option.
They won't stop at the EU network. It's too dangerous for them.
Serbia border.
Send Shekhawat's team to the Serbia border.
Get the Indian ambassador involved.
Sir.

- Hmm. - (suspenseful music)
Find out who it is.
Let me know.
- (phone ringing) - (intense music)
Sam.
Turn back. You're cooked.
Okay, but how did they know, boss?
There's an intelligence officer. I'm told he'll come hard at us.
Just lie low until I figure the next step.
Okay. I'm turning around, boss.
Turn around.
(intense music rises)
Amazing, Mr. Monu! Too good!
Today was something different.
- Mr. Sonu, you played it so well. - Sir.
I was almost in tears. Wow!
It's because of your grace, sir.
It's difficult to find people who encourage us and understand this art.
Come on! (chuckles)
- Sir, I have a request. - What? Please go ahead.
Sir, eight months have passed. I miss Sushila and the kids.
Let us go home, sir. Please.
Mr. Monu, you're making me feel I've forcibly kept you here.
If there's something lacking in my hospitality, please let me know.
No, sir...
You're in touch with your family through FaceTime, right?
Yes.
And money is also transferred to your account on time.
Yes.
- Do you have a problem? - Not at all.
- What about you, Mr. Sonu? - There's no problem, sir.
Then stay here as my guests for a few more days.
With you around, I feel a part of Banaras is with me.
Right.
See you the day after.
Sing a beautiful thumri for me.
(door opens thuds)
Monu.
Hmm?
We came here from India eight months back
to participate in a cultural programme.
And ever since, we've been playing music
in this empty auditorium just for him!
I don't know what had gotten into you
that made you agree to perform at his private event.
I thought it was for one show.
Little did I know he'd force me to stay back.
Which one will you sing?
- What? - Thumri!
Didn't he say he'd listen to a thumri the day after?
Did you find anything?
- Sir. - Did you find anything?
Negative, sir.
Employ external resources.
Sir, CIA or Mossad?
No. Their return gift proves to be very expensive.
- Start bidding on the dark web, Sahil. - Sir.
- We might get a clue or a lead. - Sure.
Sir, will this be reliable?
They are mercenaries. We'll have to take a risk.
I'm sure someone will give us info.
- Sir, how much should I offer? - $50,000.
- It's too less, sir. - Then?
- At least $5,00,000... - What?
Did you not hesitate to mention that amount?
Sir, the world has changed.
Do you remember Shamsuddin?
Yes, sir. Karan's informer in Dhaka. Two years back, his house...
His house had gotten washed away, and you didn't let Karan buy an iPad.
His house got washed away again in Dhaka the day before.
How has the world changed?
You may splurge after I retire.
- So, what's the final offer? - $1,00,000.
Okay, $2,00,000.
- But the information must be concrete. - Sure.
(computer beeping)
(intense music)
(music turns dynamic)
(music turns soft)
(keyboard clicking)
I have info on the photograph that you have uploaded.
Sir, the bidding worked.
The guy claims to have information about the photo.
- Ask for the location. - Sir.
What's the location?
Money?
Half an hour.
Yes. It will reflect in your account in 30 minutes.
Are you fooling me? I need to get it delivered in cash. Hawala.
I see. He might be an Indian.
Don't you have even so much goodwill on the dark web to get info on credit?
Sir...
(intriguing music)
Boss.
Hmm.
Looks good.
(intriguing music continues)
- Good evening, boss. - Good evening.
What's up, Jack?
This little guy here has a picture of Sam and knows about the kidnapping.
And this little guy wants to buy that picture.
And what's my little guy doing about it?
Magic.
Nice.
Where should we deliver it?
- Where does it need to be delivered? - Budapest.
What does he know about those guys?
What do you know about these guys?
Not too many people can pull off such a high-profile kidnapping in Budapest.
Do you want to buy the picture?
Hmm. Okay.
Okay.
I will need the serial number of the Indian Rs. note for hawala.
I hope waiting for five minutes is not painful for you.
I will wait.
Okay.
- Sir. - Hmm?
Will we get approval to pay him so soon? That, too, hawala?
You activate Suleman's network. I'll take care of the payment.
Sure.
(scanner beeps)
(phone ringing)
Hello.
- Himmat Singh here. - Tell me, sir.
- I want some money. - Sure, sir. What's the amount?
$2,00,000.
$2,00,000!
Answer quickly. I don't have time.
Uh... It can be done...
Okay, I'm sending someone. Keep it ready.
Hmm.
What was that "hmm"?
Do you want an assurance from me?
Actually, sir, we have an audit next week.
- If I can't justify the spending-- - I know that.
I'll get it seized and sent in two days.
- Handle things until then. - Okay, sir.
(reporter on TV) And now devastating news is coming in today
as there is one more suicide due to bank defaulters.
The number of suicides has reached up to 15 this month.
Will the government take action to rectify the situation?
The primary accused, Jignesh Dholakia, has refused to give a statement
and remains in hiding.
Yes, Suleman.
Hmm.
Token number, Suleman?
Sir, I'm sending a photo via WhatsApp of a torn 10-rupee note.
- Just give him its serial number. - Thank you.
- Sir... - Yes?
An aide of mine is in jail.
Do you want to take his place?
- (stutters) No... I'm hanging up. - (notification chimes)
(dynamic music)
Vorosmarty Ter 37-39, 2501 Budapest, 8:30 p.m.
(intense music)
Sam. Send Chris for a collection.
I'm sending the details.
Okay, boss.
Chris, I need you to go to this address as soon as possible.
Sahil has uploaded the location details of both Suleman's aide and the hacker.
The moment he tries to take the money, kick his ass
and find out everything about the kidnappers.
Sir.
Good to go, guys?
In five minutes, boss.
(dynamic music builds up)
(phone vibrating)
Hello.
Yes.
How are you...
Yes.
But at this hour...
Okay.
Yes, I know.
Okay.
No, that's not my department.
No, I won't be able to do anything.
No...
There is no accessibility. Sorry?
Yes.
Hmm.
No, I'll share a contact...
No, you don't get it. I...
No, I can't do it even if I want to.
Actually, I'm in the middle of a national security situation. So...
No...
Please try to understand. I...
Hello?
(tense music)
- Sahil. - Sir?
Jignesh Dholakia of Nirman Airlines...
Find out if his Red Corner Notice has been suspended.
- Sir, Jignesh Dholakia is a loan defaulter. - I know.
Sir, there's a Look Out Circular issued against him.
He's on the no-fly list. How can it be suspended?
Why are you giving me the details?
- I know all this. - Sorry, sir. On it.
(intense music)
Sir.
Sorry, sir. Jignesh Dholakia's Red Corner has been suspended.
Whom do we work for?
- For the nation, sir. - No, we work for scoundrels.
The nation doesn't give such special clearance.
There's a wretch who's looking to sell the nation off.
Anyway...
What's the update on Dr. Bhargav?
- (dynamic music) - (bell ringing)
Status?
(sniper 1) We are on standby.

Sir, Suleman called. The hawala transaction is done.
What do you mean? Where is Avinash?
(phone vibrating)
Sir... Sir, the guy didn't show up.
Something is off.
Nobody will come, Avinash.
Someone scammed us.
Someone was listening to our conversation.
There was a man in the middle.
- Pull out and wait for my instructions. - Sir.
(upbeat music)
(engine rumbling)
(Dr. Bhargav) Hey! Hey, who are you guys?
What do you want from me? Let me go!
Hey! Let me go!
What do you want?
Is it done, boss?
Boss, that was the easiest money you ever made.
What is happening? Where are you taking me?
Where are you taking me? Where?
- (Sam) It's time to leave, doctor. - Where? Leave for where?
- You'll see. - No, I don't want to go.
- I won't... - Get in!
Sir, in my experience, for the first time, someone--
Conned us. Hmm?
Call maintenance, format all systems, and burn your phones.
- Sir. - I want the coordinates
of that guy on the dark web by tomorrow morning.
- But-- - I don't care how you do it.
- But, sir-- - I'll see you in a few hours, Sahil.
Let's go!
(dynamic music builds up)
Leave me!
Leave me. I need to get off this car. Who the hell...
- Help! - Drive.
Help!
Help me!
(music rises, fades off)
