'We have breaking news from Pulwama, Jammu Kashmir.'
'A CRPF convoy has come under terrorist attack.'
'Yes. A CRPF convoy has come under terrorist attack'
'in which many soldiers are feared injured.'
'The person you're trying to reach...'
'As per reports, the Jaish-e-Mohammed'
'has taken responsibility for this attack.'
'It's still not clear'
'as to how many soldiers were targeted in this attack'
'but this news is certainly alarming.'
'Jammu and Kashmir is a sensitive area'
'where the CRPF has been attacked'
'in the Pulwama district'
'and many casualties are feared as we speak.'
'We have concrete information about many soldiers being injured.'
'There has been a terrorist attack in the Pulwama district.'
'19 soldiers from the CRPF have been martyred.'
'As per sources, the casualty count is increasing...'
'There has been a terrorist attack in the Pulwama district'
'in which 30 soldiers from the CRPF...'
'Peace-loving people have stepped out of their homes'
'and are protesting peacefully on the streets.'
'The number of casualties has reached 30.'
'There are many questions, but no answers as of now.'
"Our house feels empty without you."
"Please come back."
"I can't stop looking towards the door."
"Please make this house feel like home again."
"Even if this is destiny,"
"find a way to spend some more time with me."
"Have you found a place in heaven?"
"Please return for me, O beloved."
"Please return for me."
"I've returned home, wrapped in the tricolour."
"Don't shed tears. I've brought you a bright future."
"I had responsibilities towards my motherland."
"So, I had to bid you goodbye."
"Close your eyes and find me close to you."
"Then what explains this sorrow?"
"Have you found a place in heaven?"
"Please return for me, O beloved." - 'Immortal Soldier'
"Sense my presence." - 'Immortal Soldier'
"I'm where you are. - Please return for me."
"Please return for me. - Sense my presence."
"I'm alive in your heart."
"I sure am proud of you,"
"but I miss you dearly."
"Please return for me."
Shipra works at my office.
Her husband, Shashi, was a part of the CRPF.
He had promised Shipra that he'd take her on a trip to Kashmir.
Not here, Kashyap.
Not Jaish, but ISI is behind this attack, sir.
I told you not here!
The entire nation is in mourning, sir.
They've attacked Mumbai multiple times. They didn't spare our parliament, too.
There's bloodshed in the streets of Kashmir,
a place that's called Heaven on Earth.
The youth there has become disillusioned.
An Indian there can't trust even his fellow Indian.
How many more people will have to lose their lives to convince us
that we have to respond?
The pyre might be burning in front of us, Kashyap.
But we're all burning with rage.
But it seems the perpetrators don't know
that when you light a fire,
it can consume even you.
Tomorrow morning, come to the office.
We condemn these attacks.
Just like India, we're also victims of terrorism.
'Speculating at this time will amount to being insensitive.'
'You see, this is India's internal matter.'
'With the hope that good sense will prevail,'
'we wish peace for everyone. '
'Thank you, all.'
Do they get trained to lie confidently?
The PM's orders are clear.
We have to hit them and hit them hard.
Our forces are ready to strike.
Within 24 hours, we can neutralise and capture
Pakistan's 30 posts on the other side of the LOC.
No, Mr Niak.
Capturing their posts will only amount to retaliating.
We have to give a befitting reply. We have to show them their place.
Our commandos can enter POK and destroy specific targets.
They will reject the claim of a commando attack,
just like they did after the surgical strikes.
Their denial won't reduce the impact of the attack.
We can cut off their oil supply.
Through a naval blockade, we can break their connection with Dubai and Oman.
They will bleed financially.
We can't spoil our relationship with the Middle East.
Let me be very, very clear.
We can't start a war.
And minor operations don't affect them.
Nothing affects Pakistan, anyway, sir.
I'm sorry.
Kashyap.
Pakistan doesn't care about us, sir.
Really?
The last time you met them, you didn't even care about your team.
But it affected us in a big way.
I had to clean up your mess.
Mr Chauhan.
I'll tell you what Mr Chauhan wants to know.
How do you suggest we clean up this mess?
Right, Mr Chauhan?
Sir.
Kashyap, your thoughts?
First, there was an attack in Pulwama.
It was followed by General Gafoor's press conference.
It's all a well-thought-out strategy.
Jaish, Hizbul, Lashkar... These are just puppets.
Our real enemy is the ISI that controls them.
They dared to launch an attack inside our territory
and we're looking for diplomatic solutions.
I'm sorry, but they must be laughing at us.
It's surprising.
In such a delicate situation, you're cracking jokes.
Forgive me, Mr Mushtaq.
But it'll be worth seeing their faces on this news clip.
Look, we sure are a step ahead, but still,
we shouldn't underestimate our neighbours.
What could be their retaliatory strategy?
We must launch a direct attack on them.
An attack
that sends shivers down the spines of the Pakistanis, including the ISI.
They must fear our country.
Are you out of your mind?
Heavy movement has been detected on the border.
They are expecting retaliation.
The border is just a front, sir.
Their goal is to strengthen the Taliban.
But why would their government be involved in such a move?
They are condemning this attack.
There isn't just one power centre in Pakistan, sir.
One side wants to be friends with us.
The second side wants to embrace us.
The third side wants to destroy us.
But ultimately, the ISI calls the shots.
China is already on their side.
If the Taliban also joins forces with them,
nobody can stop them from establishing control over the entire South-West Asia.
So, what do you suggest?
They don't intend to go to war.
But their people won't let them sit on their hands.
It's not that simple.
This is the age of the media, Mr Zaidi.
Whether they like it or not, they will have to respond.
And this compulsion to respond will cause them to make a mistake.
They also want us to make a mistake.
So, we're better off focusing on action,
not reaction.
We'll have to react, sir.
But not how we're looking to.
Naval blockade, border fighting,
or cutting off economic ties won't serve any purpose.
Then what options do we have?
Air strike.
What? - What?
Kashyap.
We should carry out air strikes on their terrorist facilities.
We've already carried out surgical strikes. Now this...
Surgical strikes were a ground operation, sir.
This time, we'll attack from the skies.
Fighter jets. A quick in-and-out mission.
Jaish-e-Mohammed carried out the Pulwama attack
and so, we'll target the terrorist facilities of the Jaish.
This time, we'll strike them with such force
that they will be left reeling and the impact, too, will be evident.
I'll talk to the PM.
You go ahead. - Thank you.
Okay, sir. Good luck.
Thank you. Should I come?
Sir. - Thank you.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you.
Strike them in such a way that they tremble in fear.
That was a good one. You surprised me.
We should get the approval. Form your team.
A few but reliable people.
Kashyap.
What happened in Serbia was in the past.
You have to move on.
But remember that this isn't your second chance.
It's your final chance.
I won't give you a reason to complain, sir.
Madam Shireen Jahagir.
Forgive me for keeping you waiting.
Please sit.
One can't have the entire universe, can one?
Only immature people wish for the entire universe.
For the wise, their country is enough!
Okay.
On that note, I have a few options, considering the situation
you narrated to me. - Sure.
Option one.
'Indian terrorists infiltrate Pakistan.'
If India chooses to cross the border,
our media will brand them as terrorists.
That will be the agenda of our show
and newspaper headlines will be on the same lines.
And Kashmir... What if they attack it?
Be patient. We're two steps ahead in this game.
Option number two.
'Kashmir under attack.'
We'll present Kashmir as a victim.
And option number three.
'India: A failed state. A failed attack.'
If India loses, there's a narrative for that, too.
Opinion pieces will be published in the Western media.
'India is a threat to peace in South-East Asia' being one of them.
Brilliant!
You're very talented.
You aren't Pakistan's most renowned journalist for no reason.
Thank you, sir.
Zara Rizvi. Technical Officer, ITRO.
You hacked the intelligence server at the age of 16.
Did you not get jailed?
I got a scholarship
to the Indian Technological Research Organisation.
I was more of an asset than a liability.
Victor Maisnam.
Special Agent, Military Intelligence Unit.
You spent three years with Maoists as an undercover agent.
And seven kills in a night.
I got exposed, sir. I was ordered to get their data.
I had no option.
Gurtek Sodhi.
Mr Sodhi.
Good to see you.
Gurtek Sodhi. Joint Secretary, RAW zone 5.
He has handled some important missions
in Pakistan, the Middle East, Turkey, Tunisia, and Eastern Europe.
His back-end support, research,
and information pool will prove to be very important.
What's the plan, Kashyap?
Air strike.
We'll zero down on possible locations.
Sir, we're not going to war. So, crossing the LOC is out.
And we won't attack our civilian areas.
So, basically, we'll focus on POK.
Correct.
Zara, you'll make a list of potential terror camps in POK.
After that, we'll zero down on locations
we can target to cause maximum damage. - Okay, sir.
And Victor, you'll give me a list of all the RAW operatives in POK.
I want to talk directly to the operatives.
No handlers, please. - Okay, sir.
We can get going.
Attention!
Until the time the Kashmiri people attack India,
nobody will point their finger at us.
What happened in Pulwama has taken us closer to Kashmiri independence.
And we must not stop!
Today, I'm proud to announce
that by the 25th of this month,
150 new soldiers will become a part of our mission.
This year will go down in history!
Praise the Almighty! - The Almighty is the greatest!
Greetings. - Greetings.
Greetings. May I speak to uncle?
He has gone to the doctor.
You can speak to the elder uncle.
How are you, Iqbal? It has been a long time since I saw you.
Yes. Uncle, everything is fine here.
There's a lot of work.
We have to make preparations to welcome 150 guests.
150 guests! When is the procession leaving?
The procession will leave our place on the 25th.
And it's important for you to be a part of the procession. - Coordinates.
I'll eagerly wait for you.
Just inform me. I'll send a car.
Okay. Give my regards to your mom.
We'll meet soon. Goodbye.
Goodbye.
25th...
150 guests.
The procession is leaving the house.
Give that.
25th...
150...
Coordinates.
Sir, as per the coordinates, this is the camp.
This is...
It's on.
25th of this month.
150 recruits.
Bahawalpur camp.
What are these structures close to the camp?
They are civilian areas, sir.
Are there any other camps close to this one?
As per the last updated database, there are camps,
but they're abandoned, sir.
Show them to me.
Listen to me carefully, everyone.
The wives, children, and parents of 40 soldiers
haven't been able to sleep.
Their sacrifice won't go in vain.
Bahawalpur it is.
It will cause maximum impact, sir.
It's a centralised facility.
All civilian areas.
I know, sir. We'll try and be precise.
We will be precise, sir.
Date.
On the 25th, new recruits are joining in the presence of top recruits, sir.
Our asset has confirmed this.
I'll talk to the PM.
And Kashyap... - Sir.
I want no leaks this time.
And trust no one.
Yes, sir.
Where is it?
Money.
Bahawalpur...
Bahawalpur.
You're being unreasonable.
Bahawalpur is a residential area, sir.
India can never attack that place.
My source is unshakable, Raqueeb. - Oh!
And in spite of that,
we need to be ready for every situation under any given circumstances.
Mr Mushtaq.
India is a country that looks to blame others
even when the fault lies within.
They're very conscious about their image.
They just want to come across as good in front of the world.
What hasn't happened today can happen tomorrow.
Overestimating a weak enemy
isn't being wise. It amounts to folly, Mr Mushtaq.
Shift the camp, Raqueeb. That's an order.
When the army doesn't reveal the source to its own intelligence,
it means the neighbouring country has laid the trap.
I'm convinced that you'll do only what's necessary, Raqueeb.
Goodbye.
Shift your base, commander.
'But all of a sudden...'
It's the dance of democracy, mister.
Everyone has to make adjustments.
These are the possible POK jet routes
and the layout plans for Bahawalpur.
Zara.
I want satellite images every half an hour.
Okay, sir.
There are many civilian areas here.
It's going to be tricky.
We have the jet routes and the layout plans ready, sir.
I have a meeting with the Air Marshal over lunch tomorrow.
Let's hope it all goes well.
Great.
We aren't able to establish communication
with our asset in Bahawalpur, sir.
The asset has confirmed the information, right?
Yes, sir.
But there has been no contact for the last 18 hours, sir.
We will go ahead.
What if we lose them, sir?
We can't abort the mission, Kashyap.
They were trained for this day.
They're supposed to be ready for any situation.
Forgive... Forgive me. I didn't see you.
Can't you seek forgiveness gently?
Sorry?
You're physically here. But mentally, you're somewhere else.
Well...
Fahima!
What's going on?
Nothing.
She's Yakub's niece. Don't even think about it.
Why haven't you left yet?
Forgive me. There was a lot of equipment.
It took me a lot of time to gather it.
Let it be, Fahima.
And you're still here! Everyone is waiting for you.
Who'll work on the wires and the oscillator for the radar?
Come on. Go.
Sister.
I'm suspicious of him.
Fahima.
If you suspect every other person, how will we get things done?
It's just that I'm always worried about you and Yakub. Nothing else.
Come on. - Come.
Suman, is sir there? I have a meeting with him at 5 pm.
Please wait for a minute. I'll ask him. - Okay.
Kashyap!
Kashyap Sinha. The man with two surnames.
You still haven't changed.
Hello.
You seem to be in a hurry.
It seems like that, but that's not the case.
What are you doing here?
Your boss called me. NSA Dutta.
Oh, yes. Right.
Sir's waiting for you.
May I? - Sure.
Will you have tea or coffee? - Please.
Where did she come from?
Sir.
Sir, you called Manisha...
Please take a seat.
Sir, she's still undergoing trial in the coal scam case.
She hasn't been convicted.
I know about your past.
Think about it. If something goes wrong...
Send her in.
Kashyap. - Sir.
She's the best.
Greetings, Mr Dutta.
Greetings, Manisha. Thank you so much for coming.
Please.
Let me come straight to the point.
We'll respond to the Pulwama attack.
Chaos will ensue.
That will be followed by a media war.
We'll need your expertise to handle that.
You or the country, sir?
We'll have to play this international game
on many fronts and platforms.
We might have to bend the rules, too.
Manisha, we have to focus on the truth.
If we have to bend the rules for that...
Sir, this is information warfare.
And I always like to be two steps ahead.
For that, I want complete clarity.
No secrets
and no side plans.
If we want to win this war, I want an answer.
Kashyap is your man.
He's in charge of the mission. All questions to him.
There were many questions earlier, too.
But they weren't answered.
So, shall we try again, Kashyap?
Lunch or dinner?
Office, please.
Iqbal!
Uncle!
Well, there was a complicated wiring issue in the commander's room.
And new internet cables will have to be provided to the other rooms, too.
I checked everything.
And this problem has been solved.
The ambience here is weird.
Am I right, uncle?
Even the silence here says a lot.
Even you don't speak much, do you?
Anyway, give me some tea, for the Almighty's sake.
Otherwise, I'll start hearing my own heartbeats.
Okay.
Uncle, make some tea. I'll freshen up.
Recorder!
Kashyap Sinha.
Pleasure to meet you, sir.
Apologies. I'm not dressed for the occasion.
It's okay, sir.
Waiter.
Hello, sir. Hello, sir.
What can I get for you, sir?
A shot of Jack with Collins spears and some dry mutton.
And sir, for you?
Do you serve 'khichdi'?
Come on! Who eats 'khichdi' here?
I do, sir.
Well, that's what the man wants.
Okay, sir. - Get it.
Believe it or not. I don't get impressed with anyone easily.
But you are an intriguing man.
So, what's on your mind?
Don't worry. This place is vetted.
Whatever you say is safe.
Sir, we want your fighter jets.
Only for 15-20 minutes.
You can't beat around the bush, can you?
Sir, it took 20 minutes to order your food.
To be honest, we didn't have time for that, too.
Okay. I'm listening.
Air strike, sir.
Sir, we've found out about the source
through which the information about Bahawalpur was received.
Weren't they the Saudis?
How do you know, sir?
The actual battle isn't fought on the border.
It's all about intellectual acuity.
Earlier, I had a doubt about Mr Mushtaq being close to the Saudi emperor.
But now, I'm convinced.
What will be the next steps, sir?
Indians won't attack Bahawalpur.
Then where will they attack, sir?
As per the official report, someone named Victor is in charge.
But that's a lie, as usual.
Find out who's leading Dutta's team.
Then I'll tell you where they will attack.
Right, sir.
Are we fully prepared?
Sir.
It's time to show the world
that India sure is a peace-loving country,
but it won't bow before terrorism.
Our rockets aren't meant for Diwali, Mr Dutta.
You know, in the air force, we don't choose our first mission.
We follow orders.
But we choose our last mission.
And that's what we earn.
In that case, your farewell party will be a blast.
I love your confidence.
Without an official order, you're trying to convince the Air Marshal.
Sir.
What a surprise, Madhu.
We have the go-ahead from the PM.
Impossible.
Bahawalpur is a civilian area. How can the PM allow it?
There is a twist.
'Kashyap. Hold it.'
If the evidence is concrete, every piece of news sells.
'Bahawalpur.'
We found the right medium to leak the info.
We've tracked their movements with the help of satellite images.
They've shifted the camp,
thinking we'll attack Bahawalpur.
As we speak.
Where have they shifted it?
Balakot.
