1
00:00:41,933 --> 00:00:44,286
'Indian aircraft
cross the line of control...'

2
00:00:44,376 --> 00:00:47,254
'Pakistan claims to have shot down
two Indian aircraft.'

3
00:00:47,345 --> 00:00:51,028
'The Air Force in action! Indian Air Force
gives a befitting reply.'

4
00:00:51,118 --> 00:00:54,176
'Also, an Indian jet
has crashed in Pakistan.'

5
00:00:54,266 --> 00:00:56,094
'Tensions are high
between India and Pakistan.'

6
00:00:56,184 --> 00:01:00,105
'Pakistan says it has shot down
two Indian fighter jets.'

7
00:01:00,105 --> 00:01:00,195
'Pakistan says it has shot down
two Indian fighter jets.'

8
00:01:00,285 --> 00:01:02,106
'The disputed territory of Kashmir...'

9
00:01:02,196 --> 00:01:05,662
'Indian jets crossed over
into Pakistani airspace.'

10
00:01:05,752 --> 00:01:08,562
'The Pakistani Army spokesperson
has made a big claim.'

11
00:01:08,652 --> 00:01:10,864
'As per him, two Indian pilots
are in their captivity.'

12
00:01:10,954 --> 00:01:12,935
Two aircraft of the Indian Air Force

13
00:01:13,088 --> 00:01:17,104
crossed the line of control
and entered the Pakistani airspace.

14
00:01:17,788 --> 00:01:19,564
And we shot down both aircraft.

15
00:01:20,516 --> 00:01:24,689
Our forces have taken
both Indian pilots into custody.

16
00:01:24,850 --> 00:01:27,798
We are interrogating one of the pilots.

17
00:01:28,422 --> 00:01:29,915
The other pilot is badly injured.

18
00:01:30,876 --> 00:01:34,662
We have admitted him to CMS
for treatment.

19
00:01:36,673 --> 00:01:37,676
That's odd.

20
00:01:39,171 --> 00:01:41,333
The IAF has informed us
about only one missing pilot.

21
00:01:41,540 --> 00:01:43,486
Wing Commander Abhimanyu Vardhan.

22
00:01:43,872 --> 00:01:45,766
Then which other guy
is he talking about, sir?

23
00:01:47,564 --> 00:01:48,844
You need to check with Harish.

24
00:01:49,182 --> 00:01:50,359
Sir.

25
00:02:18,318 --> 00:02:19,676
Good evening, Wing Commander.

26
00:02:28,006 --> 00:02:30,116
You seem to be freezing in here.

27
00:02:31,267 --> 00:02:32,884
Hey! Someone, bring a blanket.

28
00:02:47,089 --> 00:02:50,103
I am Air Marshal Rahim Khan.

29
00:02:52,379 --> 00:02:55,715
I hope they haven't troubled you a lot.

30
00:02:58,709 --> 00:02:59,710
Not at all.

31
00:03:02,512 --> 00:03:03,621
Will you eat something?

32
00:03:05,651 --> 00:03:08,537
We have Tom Yum Soup, your favourite.

33
00:03:11,893 --> 00:03:14,626
I'm glad. We have a similar taste.

34
00:03:17,877 --> 00:03:20,082
I have heard that your spouse...

35
00:03:21,431 --> 00:03:22,642
I mean, your wife,

36
00:03:24,261 --> 00:03:25,261
Roshni,

37
00:03:26,101 --> 00:03:27,480
is a schoolteacher.

38
00:03:29,744 --> 00:03:31,156
My wife is also a teacher.

39
00:03:33,956 --> 00:03:35,363
And your daughter...

40
00:03:36,005 --> 00:03:37,969
What's her name? Mansi.

41
00:03:39,938 --> 00:03:42,917
Your wife must be taking care
of Mansi all alone.

42
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,196
A person's personality

43
00:03:50,398 --> 00:03:53,371
is a result of his upbringing.

44
00:03:56,019 --> 00:03:57,275
It's in our nature

45
00:03:57,999 --> 00:03:59,495
to be patriotic.

46
00:04:00,873 --> 00:04:02,755
Today's generation

47
00:04:03,032 --> 00:04:06,474
has been ruined by technology
and smartphones.

48
00:04:08,582 --> 00:04:12,375
I am sure you agree with this.

49
00:04:13,664 --> 00:04:14,664
Cigarette?

50
00:04:31,901 --> 00:04:35,039
I am not against technology.

51
00:04:36,980 --> 00:04:40,925
Because it is very important
when it comes to defence.

52
00:04:42,392 --> 00:04:43,393
And you see,

53
00:04:45,221 --> 00:04:49,285
how would we have intercepted
your transmissions without technology?

54
00:04:52,913 --> 00:04:55,405
Well, what did you say?

55
00:05:01,368 --> 00:05:02,665
'I got the basket!'

56
00:05:02,755 --> 00:05:05,807
'Bandit is down!
Attention, mothership! Bandit is down!'

57
00:05:06,688 --> 00:05:07,990
It's your voice, right?

58
00:05:11,840 --> 00:05:14,556
Wing Commander, don't get me wrong.

59
00:05:15,655 --> 00:05:18,137
This was a ridiculous joke.

60
00:05:19,129 --> 00:05:22,608
There was no other aircraft
within 100 miles

61
00:05:23,767 --> 00:05:25,213
of your aircraft.

62
00:05:27,743 --> 00:05:28,823
You...

63
00:05:29,506 --> 00:05:31,420
You fired the missile in the air!

64
00:05:33,037 --> 00:05:34,946
See, we didn't find any debris

65
00:05:35,652 --> 00:05:36,836
or any pilot.

66
00:05:38,075 --> 00:05:40,317
How will you prove to the world

67
00:05:40,407 --> 00:05:43,123
that it was not your obsession?

68
00:05:46,073 --> 00:05:48,150
You see, without evidence,

69
00:05:48,877 --> 00:05:51,321
you will be called incompetent

70
00:05:51,901 --> 00:05:53,179
and crazy.

71
00:05:56,323 --> 00:05:57,776
What are you trying to say?

72
00:06:00,466 --> 00:06:01,559
Well...

73
00:06:03,179 --> 00:06:05,774
Fix your story.

74
00:06:07,339 --> 00:06:08,525
It's not like we are keen

75
00:06:08,615 --> 00:06:12,684
to prove your obsession
as false propaganda.

76
00:06:14,390 --> 00:06:15,390
Commander.

77
00:06:16,333 --> 00:06:21,051
A pilot who couldn't
handle his aircraft,

78
00:06:22,591 --> 00:06:24,577
who was captured in another country...

79
00:06:27,604 --> 00:06:29,817
Even after that,
you want to prove yourself!

80
00:06:32,729 --> 00:06:37,301
Your claim that you shot down
one of our jets

81
00:06:38,053 --> 00:06:39,575
is just baseless.

82
00:06:43,923 --> 00:06:44,929
Marshal.

83
00:06:46,176 --> 00:06:47,374
You are doing a great job.

84
00:06:49,096 --> 00:06:51,625
Your research is on point.

85
00:06:54,414 --> 00:06:56,080
With due respect, Marshal,

86
00:06:57,658 --> 00:06:59,118
I want to tell you something.

87
00:07:02,068 --> 00:07:03,290
In some time,

88
00:07:04,707 --> 00:07:06,407
there will be a knock on the door.

89
00:07:07,853 --> 00:07:10,945
Your senior officer
will congratulate you,

90
00:07:12,059 --> 00:07:13,907
and give you my release order.

91
00:07:15,399 --> 00:07:16,516
And then,

92
00:07:17,085 --> 00:07:20,427
you will escort me to the media.

93
00:07:46,396 --> 00:07:50,476
Not every prisoner gets
such hospitality, Wing Commander.

94
00:07:53,432 --> 00:07:54,724
So, next time,

95
00:07:55,774 --> 00:07:58,087
think before you crack such jokes.

96
00:08:01,992 --> 00:08:03,623
I'll see you soon.

97
00:08:16,293 --> 00:08:17,293
Sir.

98
00:08:17,839 --> 00:08:19,496
The Air Marshal has confirmed it.

99
00:08:19,945 --> 00:08:23,922
In the other M-21, Wing Commander
Abhimanyu's wingman was Ravinder,

100
00:08:24,012 --> 00:08:25,817
who has returned to the Srinagar airbase.

101
00:08:26,466 --> 00:08:27,556
That's a relief.

102
00:08:28,819 --> 00:08:30,244
Then who is the other guy?

103
00:08:30,334 --> 00:08:31,432
It's a baseless claim.

104
00:08:31,808 --> 00:08:35,720
No, no. There must be a reason
behind such a big claim.

105
00:08:35,925 --> 00:08:38,497
We have to find out...
- By then, we will lose our chance.

106
00:08:38,853 --> 00:08:40,084
We need to expose them now,

107
00:08:40,175 --> 00:08:42,757
and refute this claim
that the other guy is an Indian pilot.

108
00:08:43,146 --> 00:08:44,378
Just give me a minute.

109
00:08:48,109 --> 00:08:49,635
Alright, everybody. Listen up!

110
00:08:50,228 --> 00:08:53,141
Pakistan claims to have captured
two of our pilots.

111
00:08:53,396 --> 00:08:54,523
And they are lying as usual

112
00:08:54,613 --> 00:08:57,721
because we have received
clarification from the Air Force.

113
00:08:57,811 --> 00:09:00,004
Victor, I want you
to coordinate with the IAF.

114
00:09:00,094 --> 00:09:00,105
Draft a press brief.
I want all the facts in it.

115
00:09:00,105 --> 00:09:02,416
Draft a press brief.
I want all the facts in it.

116
00:09:02,506 --> 00:09:03,467
Got it?
- Yes, ma'am.

117
00:09:03,557 --> 00:09:06,807
Everybody else...
Social media, memes, hashtags...

118
00:09:06,897 --> 00:09:08,787
Get on it immediately. Now!

119
00:09:09,239 --> 00:09:10,058
Zara.
- Ma'am.

120
00:09:10,148 --> 00:09:13,784
Give me SBC, Al-Khumeira, New India News
and Bharat News. - On it, ma'am.

121
00:09:16,815 --> 00:09:17,901
Hello. Arun...

122
00:09:17,991 --> 00:09:19,330
'We have breaking news.'

123
00:09:19,420 --> 00:09:22,759
'Pakistan's lie about
the second Indian pilot exposed.'

124
00:09:22,849 --> 00:09:25,866
'Let me tell you that General Ghaffar
has also changed his statement.'

125
00:09:25,956 --> 00:09:27,929
'Indian Air Force Chief's statement!'

126
00:09:28,019 --> 00:09:30,468
'The second Indian pilot
is present at the Srinagar base.'

127
00:09:30,558 --> 00:09:32,383
'The other pilot is at the base.'

128
00:09:33,317 --> 00:09:35,332
'But yes.
One of our pilots has been captured.'

129
00:09:35,635 --> 00:09:37,510
'Our army will free him very soon.'

130
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:42,279
'Pakistan's claim about arresting two
Indian pilots has been denied by India.'

131
00:09:42,369 --> 00:09:46,554
'Pakistan continues to prove
why they should not be taken seriously.'

132
00:09:46,644 --> 00:09:48,225
'These cowards'

133
00:09:48,315 --> 00:09:51,810
'kept lying that they have captured
two Indian pilots.'

134
00:09:51,900 --> 00:09:53,622
'But the big question is, viewers, '

135
00:09:53,969 --> 00:09:56,169
'did they really shoot down our jet?'

136
00:09:56,558 --> 00:09:59,205
'Who is the second pilot?
And where is he?'

137
00:09:59,527 --> 00:10:00,105
'Do they even have the first pilot?'

138
00:10:00,105 --> 00:10:02,310
'Do they even have the first pilot?'

139
00:10:02,491 --> 00:10:04,519
'This is what we ask today.'

140
00:10:04,609 --> 00:10:05,609
Shireen.

141
00:10:06,368 --> 00:10:07,795
We made a big mistake.

142
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:12,709
When our pilot crash-landed,
the mob followed his parachute.

143
00:10:12,968 --> 00:10:15,420
They attacked him,
thinking he was an Indian.

144
00:10:15,618 --> 00:10:18,324
By the time our army could rescue him,

145
00:10:19,109 --> 00:10:20,838
the mob had seriously injured him.

146
00:10:32,073 --> 00:10:33,406
And amidst the confusion,

147
00:10:34,305 --> 00:10:37,237
the news about two Indian pilots
being caught got to the media.

148
00:10:37,791 --> 00:10:39,790
But that second pilot is our own.

149
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:44,048
India's campaign will revolve around
the claim regarding the second pilot.

150
00:10:44,216 --> 00:10:46,568
We need to distract the world
from that narrative.

151
00:10:51,312 --> 00:10:53,038
I have a plan, Mr Raqeeb.

152
00:10:54,819 --> 00:10:57,068
'My name is
Wing Commander Abhimanyu Vardhan.'

153
00:10:57,855 --> 00:11:00,105
'My service number is 73824.'

154
00:11:00,105 --> 00:11:00,209
'My service number is 73824.'

155
00:11:00,299 --> 00:11:02,520
'What else?
- I'm a fighter pilot.'

156
00:11:02,611 --> 00:11:04,574
'Squad name?
- I'm not supposed to tell you that.'

157
00:11:04,664 --> 00:11:06,978
'Your intention...
- I'm not supposed to tell you that.'

158
00:11:07,068 --> 00:11:08,863
'I'm sure you found the wreckage.'

159
00:11:09,018 --> 00:11:11,627
'What was your mission? - I'm sorry,
sir. I'm not supposed to tell you that.'

160
00:11:11,717 --> 00:11:13,936
'The entire country is demanding
that Wing Commander Abhimanyu'

161
00:11:14,026 --> 00:11:15,491
'be brought back.'

162
00:11:15,581 --> 00:11:18,688
'The entire nation stands with
the brave Wing Commander Abhimanyu.'

163
00:11:18,778 --> 00:11:22,281
'Indians living in England, America
and many other countries'

164
00:11:22,371 --> 00:11:24,475
'protested outside
Pakistan Consulates,'

165
00:11:24,565 --> 00:11:26,878
'and shouted slogans
in support of Abhimanyu.'

166
00:11:26,971 --> 00:11:29,335
'Free him! Free him!'

167
00:11:30,219 --> 00:11:32,333
Sir, we are doing
everything that we can.

168
00:11:33,552 --> 00:11:34,552
Mr Dutta.

169
00:11:37,187 --> 00:11:38,314
This is not a chair.

170
00:11:39,144 --> 00:11:42,193
It's the trust of 1.3 billion Indians.

171
00:11:44,976 --> 00:11:46,850
And I can't break this trust.

172
00:11:49,797 --> 00:11:51,342
Do whatever is needed.

173
00:11:53,911 --> 00:11:55,296
Within 24 hours,

174
00:11:56,819 --> 00:11:59,523
I want Wing Commander Abhimanyu back.

175
00:12:04,154 --> 00:12:06,159
Sir.
- Sir, the arrest of the Wing Commander

176
00:12:06,249 --> 00:12:08,909
is a big political advantage
for Pakistan.

177
00:12:08,999 --> 00:12:12,582
They won't free Abhimanyu easily.
Within 24 hours, it's impossible.

178
00:12:12,785 --> 00:12:15,746
We can't stop time, Kashyap,
but we can change it.

179
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:17,701
Through our actions.

180
00:12:17,791 --> 00:12:22,218
Sir, Pakistan has portrayed Wing Commander
Abhimanyu as an intruder to the world.

181
00:12:22,308 --> 00:12:24,026
We have to change that narrative.

182
00:12:24,184 --> 00:12:26,615
We will have to create sympathy
for him on the world stage.

183
00:12:26,705 --> 00:12:27,812
Sympathy!

184
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,086
Abhimanyu is a national hero.

185
00:12:30,279 --> 00:12:33,503
And you want to present him
as a poor soul in front of the world.

186
00:12:33,593 --> 00:12:36,548
Kashyap, what I want to present
him as doesn't matter.

187
00:12:36,747 --> 00:12:39,255
What the world wants to see
is what really matters, sir.

188
00:12:39,345 --> 00:12:42,644
So, do you think Pakistan
will release him if we do this?

189
00:12:42,734 --> 00:12:45,374
You know, I'm happy to follow
whatever plan that you have, Kashyap.

190
00:12:45,528 --> 00:12:46,537
If you have one.

191
00:12:48,646 --> 00:12:49,692
Are you done?

192
00:12:51,889 --> 00:12:54,587
No, I mean, are you now done?

193
00:12:55,694 --> 00:12:58,310
Because we have already
wasted two hours.

194
00:12:58,513 --> 00:13:00,105
And if we keep doing this,
we'll waste more time.

195
00:13:00,105 --> 00:13:01,102
And if we keep doing this,
we'll waste more time.

196
00:13:01,192 --> 00:13:02,519
And no one will gain anything.

197
00:13:02,666 --> 00:13:06,021
Please understand.
We are in the midst of a war.

198
00:13:06,181 --> 00:13:09,975
Land, sky, television, internet...
We're being attacked from everywhere.

199
00:13:10,613 --> 00:13:13,655
I know that we can't win every war.
It's impossible.

200
00:13:13,850 --> 00:13:16,843
Because in a war,
nothing is in our control.

201
00:13:17,064 --> 00:13:20,876
But our strategy should be made
keeping the end goal in mind.

202
00:13:21,060 --> 00:13:24,285
And our strategy at this time
should be about Abhimanyu's return.

203
00:13:26,678 --> 00:13:29,821
Right when Abhimanyu's aircraft
disappeared from the radar,

204
00:13:29,952 --> 00:13:31,774
a Pakistani aircraft also disappeared.

205
00:13:32,452 --> 00:13:33,858
That blip!

206
00:13:34,369 --> 00:13:37,517
Find out from the IAF if they have
any clarity about that blip.

207
00:13:37,607 --> 00:13:38,553
Yes, sir.

208
00:13:38,643 --> 00:13:43,294
Manisha, I want the world
to stand with a braveheart Abhimanyu,

209
00:13:43,674 --> 00:13:45,522
not a helpless Abhimanyu.

210
00:13:47,468 --> 00:13:50,172
The media narrative alone will not help.

211
00:13:50,464 --> 00:13:52,345
We need strong pressure tactics.

212
00:13:53,169 --> 00:13:54,220
Kashyap.
- Sir.

213
00:13:54,777 --> 00:13:58,647
Their defence installations,
submarines, oil reserves...

214
00:13:59,111 --> 00:14:00,105
We have to explore all the options.

215
00:14:00,105 --> 00:14:01,944
We have to explore all the options.

216
00:14:02,249 --> 00:14:04,645
Copy, sir.
- And we don't have time.

217
00:14:08,928 --> 00:14:11,921
We sure have different
points of view, Kashyap.

218
00:14:12,144 --> 00:14:14,947
But don't forget.
We are on the same team.

219
00:14:33,763 --> 00:14:36,829
No one will go home
until Abhimanyu comes back.

220
00:14:36,919 --> 00:14:38,121
We have to bring him back.

221
00:14:38,305 --> 00:14:39,376
Zara.
- Sir.

222
00:14:39,466 --> 00:14:42,826
Monitor the online and offline traffic
in Pakistan. - Sir.

223
00:14:42,916 --> 00:14:45,670
Victor, contact all our assets
in Pakistan.

224
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,360
I want ground reality.
The situation on the ground.

225
00:14:47,450 --> 00:14:48,654
And get in touch with
the Indian Air Force.

226
00:14:48,744 --> 00:14:50,282
I want confirmation on the second blip.

227
00:14:50,372 --> 00:14:51,176
Okay?
- Done, sir.

228
00:14:51,266 --> 00:14:53,352
Mr Sodhi, I want the history
and geography of Pakistan.

229
00:14:53,442 --> 00:14:56,465
We won't miss out on any detail
to pressurise them.

230
00:14:56,555 --> 00:14:58,219
Okay? Let's go, guys.

231
00:15:21,513 --> 00:15:25,361
Add the logos of the universities
of Karachi, Peshawar and Islamabad.

232
00:15:26,274 --> 00:15:27,349
Good.

233
00:15:28,218 --> 00:15:29,370
Zara.
- Ma'am.

234
00:15:29,652 --> 00:15:32,194
Write, 'We don't want war.'
In English and Urdu.

235
00:15:32,284 --> 00:15:34,399
Upload them and get them to trend.
- Copy that.

236
00:15:41,472 --> 00:15:43,721
Ma'am, it's trending on Twitter
and other platforms now.

237
00:15:43,811 --> 00:15:45,459
Okay, everybody. Listen up now.

238
00:15:45,549 --> 00:15:48,064
After this, with Abhimanyu's
blindfolded photos...

239
00:15:48,154 --> 00:15:50,986
In all languages.
Hindi, Urdu, Arabic, French, Spanish...

240
00:15:51,076 --> 00:15:52,153
We've got to push this out.

241
00:15:52,243 --> 00:15:55,014
We've got to make sure that global media
picks this up and puts it out there.

242
00:15:55,104 --> 00:15:58,805
'With these images of Indian pilot,
Wing Commander Abhimanyu,'

243
00:15:58,895 --> 00:16:00,105
'the internet seems to be uniting
globally to demand the pilot's release.'

244
00:16:00,105 --> 00:16:03,271
'the internet seems to be uniting
globally to demand the pilot's release.'

245
00:16:03,409 --> 00:16:05,664
'The demand to send
Wing Commander Abhimanyu back'

246
00:16:05,754 --> 00:16:08,881
'is gaining momentum even in Pakistan
through social media.'

247
00:16:09,478 --> 00:16:13,983
'Not only in Pakistan, but all over
the world, this brave Indian pilot...'

248
00:16:16,060 --> 00:16:19,182
Kashyap, I think we can revoke
the Indus Waters Treaty.

249
00:16:19,587 --> 00:16:23,487
Mr Sodhi, that will take a lot of time.
We don't have that much time.

250
00:16:23,689 --> 00:16:26,489
Sir, let's dismantle our embassy
in Pakistan.

251
00:16:28,184 --> 00:16:29,797
Is this the time for diplomacy, Zara?

252
00:16:30,306 --> 00:16:31,383
Sorry, sir.

253
00:16:32,561 --> 00:16:33,977
Sir, what if we use China?

254
00:16:34,896 --> 00:16:37,669
China's Uyghur Muslim
population is faced with problems.

255
00:16:37,759 --> 00:16:40,302
We can get a protest staged
through our contacts.

256
00:16:40,604 --> 00:16:43,347
When the state retaliates,
the mob will get violent.

257
00:16:43,719 --> 00:16:45,431
As soon as the situation
gets out of control,

258
00:16:45,521 --> 00:16:47,670
we'll offer help to restore peace.

259
00:16:47,761 --> 00:16:51,102
In return, China will put pressure
on Pakistan and get Abhimanyu released.

260
00:16:51,192 --> 00:16:54,948
Victor, stop watching thrillers.
Do you understand?

261
00:16:55,493 --> 00:16:57,691
We need a concrete strategy

262
00:16:57,781 --> 00:17:00,105
that can be activated
in the next 8-9 hours.

263
00:17:00,105 --> 00:17:00,526
that can be activated
in the next 8-9 hours.

264
00:17:00,743 --> 00:17:02,335
Do you guys understand?
- Yes, sir.

265
00:17:03,940 --> 00:17:05,196
Get back to work.

266
00:17:05,286 --> 00:17:06,780
Sir.
- Yes, sir.

267
00:17:26,776 --> 00:17:29,362
Sir, the Gwadar Port is the lifeline
of Pakistan's economy.

268
00:17:29,452 --> 00:17:31,137
China has invested massively in it.

269
00:17:36,171 --> 00:17:39,085
We can put diplomatic pressure
on Pakistan via the Gulf countries.

270
00:17:45,624 --> 00:17:47,139
We can plan a cyber attack on them.

271
00:17:47,229 --> 00:17:49,317
It will throw the entire country
into a fix.

272
00:17:53,978 --> 00:17:55,593
We can summon the Pakistani diplomat

273
00:17:55,683 --> 00:17:57,843
and bring him back
by negotiating a prisoner exchange.

274
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:00,105
Sir, we can cut off
their water supply.

275
00:18:00,105 --> 00:18:01,585
Sir, we can cut off
their water supply.

276
00:18:09,575 --> 00:18:12,039
'Sir, we should issue a nuclear threat.'

277
00:19:04,872 --> 00:19:06,454
I am unable
to gather anything from it.

278
00:19:11,154 --> 00:19:13,411
Wing Commander Abhimanyu
wanted to tell us something.

279
00:19:13,598 --> 00:19:14,993
And we need to know.

280
00:19:15,802 --> 00:19:16,864
It could be important proof.

281
00:19:16,954 --> 00:19:18,656
And also, this could help us
get him back.

282
00:19:18,746 --> 00:19:20,793
So, keep trying and update me, okay?

283
00:19:23,034 --> 00:19:29,363
'Rise up for prayer...'

284
00:19:33,616 --> 00:19:35,930
At your instructions,
all the preparations have been made.

285
00:19:36,020 --> 00:19:38,158
We'll wait for your orders.

286
00:19:42,711 --> 00:19:46,362
Shireen, the international news
coverage is going in their favour.

287
00:19:46,731 --> 00:19:50,092
If they get sympathy,
things will go south.

288
00:19:50,805 --> 00:19:51,838
Yes.

289
00:19:52,752 --> 00:19:53,825
Okay.

290
00:20:03,295 --> 00:20:04,966
Raqeeb, the time is not good.

291
00:20:06,772 --> 00:20:08,244
We have so many challenges.

292
00:20:08,830 --> 00:20:12,064
But our friends in Afghanistan
want more arms.

293
00:20:13,474 --> 00:20:14,664
It's difficult,

294
00:20:15,353 --> 00:20:16,604
but not impossible.

295
00:20:29,055 --> 00:20:31,458
Answer it. It seems it's urgent.

296
00:20:32,381 --> 00:20:33,692
Salim, are you an idiot?

297
00:20:33,945 --> 00:20:36,740
I am sorry, sir. It was urgent.

298
00:20:37,232 --> 00:20:38,314
What happened?

299
00:20:38,642 --> 00:20:39,685
Sir,

300
00:20:40,641 --> 00:20:43,124
our pilot, Ahmed, has been martyred.

301
00:20:47,838 --> 00:20:49,471
Suppress the case.

302
00:20:51,358 --> 00:20:53,331
Make sure the news isn't leaked.

303
00:20:54,628 --> 00:20:57,144
And don't leave that place.
- Right, sir.

304
00:20:57,975 --> 00:20:59,044
What happened?

305
00:21:03,525 --> 00:21:04,650
He died.

306
00:21:06,055 --> 00:21:07,237
Ahmed died.

307
00:21:08,669 --> 00:21:12,611
'We belong to the Almighty
and to Him we shall return.'

308
00:21:17,152 --> 00:21:18,514
History is witness.

309
00:21:19,668 --> 00:21:23,124
Behind every victory,
there are many sacrifices.

310
00:21:26,677 --> 00:21:28,092
That's the reality

311
00:21:28,730 --> 00:21:30,476
of war, Raqeeb.

312
00:21:41,456 --> 00:21:44,947
Our pilot has been in their custody
for 12 hours.

313
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,164
And this incident has turned
into a media circus.

314
00:21:47,899 --> 00:21:50,088
We are trying to get him released
through diplomatic channels,

315
00:21:50,178 --> 00:21:53,872
but Pakistan is creating a scene.

316
00:21:54,293 --> 00:21:57,645
That's why we have
to take some drastic measures.

317
00:21:58,108 --> 00:21:59,123
Kashyap.

318
00:21:59,550 --> 00:22:00,105
Sir.

319
00:22:00,105 --> 00:22:00,550
Sir.

320
00:22:03,244 --> 00:22:04,491
Silk Route.

321
00:22:05,389 --> 00:22:08,156
From the 2nd century BC
to the mid-15th century,

322
00:22:08,246 --> 00:22:12,889
this 6,400-kilometre-long route
connected China with the Roman Empire.

323
00:22:13,073 --> 00:22:16,693
Because of that,
China became a very powerful country.

324
00:22:17,159 --> 00:22:19,796
And even today,
China is building a road

325
00:22:19,886 --> 00:22:23,009
that will connect it
with the West again. CPEC.

326
00:22:23,647 --> 00:22:26,004
China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.

327
00:22:26,382 --> 00:22:27,212
Mr Sodhi.

328
00:22:27,303 --> 00:22:31,017
China has made an investment
worth 47 billion US dollars in the CPEC.

329
00:22:31,756 --> 00:22:35,178
Once it's built, China's production
will go to Africa and West Asia

330
00:22:35,268 --> 00:22:36,969
through the Gwadar Port.

331
00:22:37,059 --> 00:22:38,622
And what I want you to understand is

332
00:22:38,712 --> 00:22:43,408
that China will protect this huge
investment at any cost.

333
00:22:43,590 --> 00:22:48,174
Kashyap, don't tell me you want
to attack China.

334
00:22:48,264 --> 00:22:49,729
We won't attack China, sir.

335
00:22:50,350 --> 00:22:51,555
We just want to intimidate them

336
00:22:51,645 --> 00:22:53,525
by making them believe
we can do it.

337
00:22:54,157 --> 00:22:56,180
We have to bluff

338
00:22:56,621 --> 00:22:57,767
into making China think

339
00:22:57,857 --> 00:23:00,105
we are going to attack
the Pakistani side of the CPEC.

340
00:23:00,105 --> 00:23:01,550
we are going to attack
the Pakistani side of the CPEC.

341
00:23:01,671 --> 00:23:03,260
And out of fear
of collateral damage,

342
00:23:03,350 --> 00:23:05,609
China will definitely put pressure
on Pakistan.

343
00:23:05,699 --> 00:23:09,472
But if we move our forces
to the border areas,

344
00:23:10,311 --> 00:23:11,584
then the war is definite.

345
00:23:12,196 --> 00:23:15,249
We will not declare officially
that we are going to war.

346
00:23:15,562 --> 00:23:18,398
It will be a drill
in the eyes of the world.

347
00:23:18,866 --> 00:23:22,029
You see, through unofficial channels,
we'll give China

348
00:23:22,226 --> 00:23:25,362
a deadline of 2100 hours.

349
00:23:25,749 --> 00:23:26,956
We won't attack.

350
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,347
But Pakistan should believe
that if they don't release

351
00:23:30,437 --> 00:23:32,814
Wing Commander Abhimanyu by 9 pm,

352
00:23:32,904 --> 00:23:34,477
then we shall attack.

353
00:23:34,684 --> 00:23:36,354
Manisha, can you please
explain the plan?

354
00:23:37,841 --> 00:23:39,571
This is modern warfare.

355
00:23:39,787 --> 00:23:43,092
If it's in the news
and on social media, then it's real.

356
00:23:43,182 --> 00:23:44,182
Some local stringers

357
00:23:44,273 --> 00:23:47,485
will report on Indian troops'
unusual border movement.

358
00:23:47,658 --> 00:23:51,762
As you can see, the Indian Army is
carrying out a military drill

359
00:23:51,852 --> 00:23:53,530
outside of their schedule.

360
00:23:53,620 --> 00:23:55,754
The mainstream media
will cover this news.

361
00:23:55,844 --> 00:23:57,828
'We have news about
the Indian Army.'

362
00:23:57,918 --> 00:23:59,668
'Unusual movements
by the Indian Army'

363
00:23:59,835 --> 00:24:00,105
'have been detected
near the border.'

364
00:24:00,105 --> 00:24:01,617
'have been detected
near the border.'

365
00:24:01,707 --> 00:24:03,822
We'll share this news
with foreign journalists as well.

366
00:24:03,912 --> 00:24:07,382
'Tensions between India and Pakistan
have reached dangerous levels.'

367
00:24:07,472 --> 00:24:09,190
'A sudden military movement
at a time'

368
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,568
'when their pilot has been captured
by the other side'

369
00:24:11,658 --> 00:24:13,403
'could shake up the entire region.'

370
00:24:13,493 --> 00:24:16,464
'Is it just a drill?
Or is India up to something?'

371
00:24:16,554 --> 00:24:18,680
The footage of the Indian Army
in the border areas

372
00:24:18,770 --> 00:24:20,010
will be played again and again.

373
00:24:20,110 --> 00:24:22,572
A few channels will speculate.
'Will India attack?'

374
00:24:22,662 --> 00:24:24,038
'Ladies and gentlemen.'

375
00:24:24,128 --> 00:24:27,456
'Pakistan has kept our brave pilot,
Wing Commander Abhimanyu, '

376
00:24:27,547 --> 00:24:30,083
'in custody for too long.
But enough!'

377
00:24:30,173 --> 00:24:31,223
And then,

378
00:24:31,392 --> 00:24:33,618
we'll leak the news
of an imminent attack.

379
00:24:33,708 --> 00:24:36,690
Hello, SBC. It's happening
at 9 pm tonight.

380
00:24:36,780 --> 00:24:37,994
Alright. Thanks, Manisha.

381
00:24:38,458 --> 00:24:41,287
Pull that up. - 'This movement
by the formidable Indian Army'

382
00:24:41,377 --> 00:24:43,201
'across the border,
ladies and gentlemen.'

383
00:24:43,291 --> 00:24:44,784
'It's a warning to our neighbour.'

384
00:24:44,874 --> 00:24:48,195
'And the warning is loud and clear.'

385
00:24:48,399 --> 00:24:52,239
'If you mess with us,
we will come for you.'

386
00:24:55,966 --> 00:24:57,687
Taking it seriously...

387
00:25:04,377 --> 00:25:06,532
This is not a drill,
Mr Prime Minister.

388
00:25:07,249 --> 00:25:10,639
Do you realise how close they are
to attacking the CPEC?

389
00:25:11,460 --> 00:25:14,130
Just hollow threats, Mr Ambassador.

390
00:25:14,410 --> 00:25:16,745
They won't risk a war for a pilot!

391
00:25:17,272 --> 00:25:20,072
This is just a tactic
to mount pressure on us.

392
00:25:20,621 --> 00:25:23,458
But with your support,
we will never bow down.

393
00:25:38,825 --> 00:25:40,702
Of course, Mr Prime Minister.

394
00:25:41,376 --> 00:25:42,454
We are partners.

395
00:25:42,984 --> 00:25:44,524
You have Beijing's full support.

396
00:25:44,887 --> 00:25:46,814
Thank you, Mr Ambassador.
- Thank you.

397
00:25:46,904 --> 00:25:48,043
Thank you.

398
00:26:01,831 --> 00:26:03,570
The Chinese are scared.

399
00:26:05,533 --> 00:26:08,427
We have to take them,
as well as the others, into confidence.

400
00:26:08,635 --> 00:26:10,946
The Wing Commander
will tell the world

401
00:26:11,889 --> 00:26:15,349
that Pakistan has treated
him respectfully.

402
00:26:18,479 --> 00:26:21,471
After that, India won't be
able to justify its aggression.

403
00:26:30,005 --> 00:26:31,553
What's your name, officer?

404
00:26:33,784 --> 00:26:35,794
I'm Wing Commander
Abhimanyu Vardhan.

405
00:26:36,984 --> 00:26:38,649
I hope you've been treated well.

406
00:26:39,664 --> 00:26:40,693
I have.

407
00:26:40,783 --> 00:26:42,491
'I would like to state this
on record,'

408
00:26:42,942 --> 00:26:45,561
'and I will not change my statement
if I go back to my country.'

409
00:26:45,651 --> 00:26:48,008
Abhimanyu is a tiger.

410
00:26:48,098 --> 00:26:49,407
He doesn't look nervous at all.

411
00:26:49,497 --> 00:26:50,432
Look!

412
00:26:50,522 --> 00:26:52,247
They didn't treat him
like an enemy.

413
00:26:52,585 --> 00:26:53,822
They even offered him tea.

414
00:26:53,912 --> 00:26:56,141
Buddy, I think the government should
do something.

415
00:26:56,538 --> 00:26:58,681
It's about our country's reputation.

416
00:26:58,771 --> 00:27:00,105
They exaggerate
such things in films.

417
00:27:00,105 --> 00:27:00,867
They exaggerate
such things in films.

418
00:27:01,018 --> 00:27:03,923
Considering he crossed the border,
they are being nice to him.

419
00:27:06,438 --> 00:27:09,146
They must have tortured
Abhimanyu to make him say all this.

420
00:27:10,502 --> 00:27:11,966
He is a smart soldier.

421
00:27:12,952 --> 00:27:14,993
He knows what they want to hear.

422
00:27:15,536 --> 00:27:16,676
Victor,

423
00:27:16,999 --> 00:27:19,250
form a panel comprising
ex-defence experts.

424
00:27:19,602 --> 00:27:22,767
For what? - We'll send them
to all the news channels.

425
00:27:23,044 --> 00:27:26,084
And through them, the whole world should
learn that this is not an interview,

426
00:27:26,235 --> 00:27:27,142
but torture.

427
00:27:27,232 --> 00:27:28,414
'What's your name, officer?'

428
00:27:30,627 --> 00:27:32,797
'I'm Wing Commander
Abhimanyu Vardhan.'

429
00:27:33,801 --> 00:27:35,504
'I hope you have been treated well.'

430
00:27:36,708 --> 00:27:39,509
'I have. I would like to state this
on record.'

431
00:27:39,807 --> 00:27:40,807
Mom.

432
00:27:40,976 --> 00:27:42,305
Dad is on TV.
- 'I will not change my statement'

433
00:27:42,395 --> 00:27:44,483
'if I go back to my country.'

434
00:28:09,839 --> 00:28:12,385
Mr Sinha, the drill has begun.

435
00:28:49,754 --> 00:28:53,861
Mr Raqeeb, we are monitoring India's
movements through our satellite.

436
00:28:53,951 --> 00:28:57,366
Mr Ambassador, please tell Beijing
to calm down.

437
00:28:57,456 --> 00:28:58,421
I know the Indians.

438
00:28:58,511 --> 00:29:00,105
Okay, everyone.
Listen to me carefully.

439
00:29:00,105 --> 00:29:00,403
Okay, everyone.
Listen to me carefully.

440
00:29:00,493 --> 00:29:02,855
Make sure the Chinese satellite
captures movement

441
00:29:02,945 --> 00:29:04,391
when it passes over us.

442
00:29:04,481 --> 00:29:07,051
Inform the Army once again.
Even empty trucks will do.

443
00:29:07,141 --> 00:29:09,102
Victor, how much time
for the satellite?

444
00:29:09,193 --> 00:29:10,444
50 minutes to go, sir.

445
00:29:10,534 --> 00:29:11,885
Great. Let's go.

446
00:29:12,234 --> 00:29:14,571
{\an3}But we can't let the pilot go,
Mr Ambassador.

447
00:29:14,717 --> 00:29:16,632
{\an3}We have proof,
Mr Prime Minister.

448
00:29:16,983 --> 00:29:19,184
{\an3}India is going
to attack CPEC for sure.

449
00:29:19,494 --> 00:29:20,768
{\an3}   Beijing is very concerned.

450
00:29:20,858 --> 00:29:23,657
We cannot be
a mute spectator now, sir.

451
00:29:24,068 --> 00:29:25,541
They tried to attack our territory.

452
00:29:25,631 --> 00:29:28,165
That's because you entered
into theirs.

453
00:29:29,239 --> 00:29:33,228
It was a mistake to give you
a changeover time of that damn airbase!

454
00:29:33,494 --> 00:29:34,607
Sir.

455
00:29:35,023 --> 00:29:37,263
I hope this bluff
doesn't turn into war.

456
00:29:37,459 --> 00:29:39,496
Abhimanyu's life is at stake.

457
00:29:40,877 --> 00:29:43,506
Sir, how long will we keep
backing off out of fear of war?

458
00:29:43,907 --> 00:29:45,743
Nothing will happen to Abhimanyu.
- What do you mean?

459
00:29:45,833 --> 00:29:46,786
The matter has already escalated.

460
00:29:46,876 --> 00:29:48,868
Sir, I promise you.
- What promise?

461
00:29:50,536 --> 00:29:52,536
I am going to be on a call
with the Prime Minister.

462
00:29:52,945 --> 00:29:54,277
We can't take chances.

463
00:30:01,658 --> 00:30:03,091
{\an3}India is going to attack.

464
00:30:03,181 --> 00:30:05,684
{\an3}Gentlemen,
please try and understand.

465
00:30:05,871 --> 00:30:08,024
India is going to attack.

466
00:30:09,737 --> 00:30:13,144
Now, either we will be martyred,

467
00:30:14,105 --> 00:30:15,835
or they will perish.

468
00:30:17,799 --> 00:30:20,437
The bloodshed that ensues
will be etched in history.

469
00:30:21,134 --> 00:30:23,343
If they want to go to war, so be it.

470
00:30:24,338 --> 00:30:26,020
General.
- Sir.

471
00:30:26,189 --> 00:30:28,654
Move out our forces.
- Yes, sir.

472
00:31:07,552 --> 00:31:11,177
Mr Dutta, Pakistan has moved
its forces to the border.

473
00:31:11,333 --> 00:31:13,192
We have a face-off situation.

474
00:31:29,869 --> 00:31:32,301
Sir! Sir, General Naik is on the line.

475
00:31:35,715 --> 00:31:36,896
Mr Dutta.

476
00:31:37,229 --> 00:31:39,070
We are in a position to charge.

477
00:31:40,124 --> 00:31:41,697
Waiting for your orders.

478
00:31:48,221 --> 00:31:51,464
Sir, they are seeking permission
to engage.

479
00:32:02,085 --> 00:32:07,210
"Come on, partner! Get ready."

480
00:32:08,706 --> 00:32:14,706
"It's time to be stout-hearted."

481
00:32:15,467 --> 00:32:21,928
"Victory comes to those
who exude courage."

482
00:32:22,716 --> 00:32:30,199
"It's your battle that requires you
to strategise meticulously."

483
00:32:40,474 --> 00:32:44,968
"Let your passion take over."

484
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:49,569
"Destroy your enemies,
no matter how tough they are."

485
00:32:50,421 --> 00:32:52,811
"Let your passion take over."

486
00:32:52,902 --> 00:32:55,454
"Destroy your enemies,
no matter how tough they are."

487
00:32:55,544 --> 00:33:00,105
"You are fiercely determined.
Give it your all!"

488
00:33:00,105 --> 00:33:00,398
"You are fiercely determined.
Give it your all!"

489
00:33:00,488 --> 00:33:02,858
"No matter
how difficult the journey,"

490
00:33:02,948 --> 00:33:05,431
"you're certain
to reach your destination!"

491
00:33:05,521 --> 00:33:10,138
"You will surely overcome
every obstacle that comes your way!"

492
00:33:10,228 --> 00:33:14,588
"Keep going, my brave partner!"

493
00:33:14,792 --> 00:33:19,679
"Keep going, my brave partner!"

494
00:33:19,814 --> 00:33:24,559
"Keep going, my brave partner!"

495
00:33:24,649 --> 00:33:29,139
"Keep going, my brave partner!"

496
00:34:09,247 --> 00:34:13,300
"Struggle if needed
as it'll be worth it."

497
00:34:14,178 --> 00:34:18,324
"Go out of your way
to tread the right path."

498
00:34:19,456 --> 00:34:21,956
"Struggle if needed
as it'll be worth it."

499
00:34:22,047 --> 00:34:24,537
"Go out of your way
to tread the right path."

500
00:34:24,627 --> 00:34:29,472
"With your spirits high,
aim for the sky!"

501
00:34:29,562 --> 00:34:34,440
"No matter what the difficulty,
you'll be able to overcome it."

502
00:34:34,530 --> 00:34:36,710
"No matter how
difficult the journey,"

503
00:34:36,801 --> 00:34:39,217
"you're certain to reach
your destination!"

504
00:34:39,307 --> 00:34:43,822
"Keep going, my brave partner!"

505
00:34:43,912 --> 00:34:48,767
"Keep going, my brave partner!"

506
00:34:48,893 --> 00:34:53,690
"Keep going, my brave partner!"

507
00:34:53,780 --> 00:34:58,299
"Keep going, my brave partner!"

508
00:35:28,435 --> 00:35:33,241
"Make every drop
of your blood count."

509
00:35:33,385 --> 00:35:38,488
"Turn your nemesis'
ambitions to dust!"

510
00:35:38,578 --> 00:35:41,031
"Make every drop
of your blood count."

511
00:35:41,122 --> 00:35:43,696
"Turn your nemesis'
ambitions to dust!"

512
00:35:43,786 --> 00:35:46,175
"When you hold your head high,"

513
00:35:46,265 --> 00:35:48,641
"the universe will stand by you."

514
00:35:48,731 --> 00:35:53,620
"Your courage can make
the impossible possible."

515
00:35:53,710 --> 00:35:58,394
"You will surely overcome
every obstacle that comes your way!"

516
00:35:58,484 --> 00:36:00,105
"Keep going, my brave partner!"

517
00:36:00,105 --> 00:36:02,790
"Keep going, my brave partner!"

518
00:36:02,949 --> 00:36:07,902
"Keep going, my brave partner!"

519
00:36:08,060 --> 00:36:12,840
"Keep going, my brave partner!"

520
00:36:13,010 --> 00:36:18,018
