Ulajh (2024) Movie Script
It was a mistake, Su.
Are you going to avoid my calls now?
We've been together for ages
Do you think I'm the cheating type?
Why do you think this happened?
I was lonely, Su.
If you'd given me a little attention,
do you think I would've strayed?
The problem is that
you never prioritized me.
Your actual relationship
has always been with your country.
Because that's the only way
you can make your dad happy.
And if your dad isn't happy--
The External Affairs meeting
is now at 9:00 a.m. Be on time!
We should lock our strategy
before the meeting.
If Nepal is gravitating towards China,
we need to leverage--
Relax.
Khurana sir will handle it.
You're just there to observe.
Watch the news, Suhana.
Just like Pakistan,
Nepal will fall in line as well.
See you.
Ladies and gentlemen
Please give a rousing welcome
to Pakistan's new Prime Minister,
Mr. Shahzad Alam!
- Long live
- Shahzad Alam!
Ever since Pakistan became independent,
western powers have used us
as mere pawns.
But as Pakistan's new Prime Minister,
I promise you
that we will now head
in a bold new direction.
There was so much traffic today,
I swear--
Yeah, blame it on the traffic now!
Don't worry, I'll place the candles.
Do you even know
how many candles we need?
How many?
The new Pakistan won't wage war,
but will seek diplomatic solutions.
There will be peace at our borders.
And in this peaceful spirit
we shall return
terrorist Yaseen Mirza to India.
Do you want some cake?
What about you?
Yaseen Miyaan
Keep silent, and your kids
will celebrate many more birthdays
Utter a word,
and all generations of your family
will be wiped out
on both sides of the border.
God be with you.
By handing over Yaseen,
we can usher in a
new era of friendship
between Pakistan and India.
- Long live
- Pakistan!
Move along.
Move aside.
- Move back!
- Come here.
You too, move behind!
Sir, China used the same strategy
during the Hambantota Port deal.
They promised Sri Lanka
debt-free assistance
and now look at the mess they're in.
Their earthquake relief fund
will cripple you--
Ambassador Khurana
Nepal is not Sri Lanka.
We know and understand
our border issues very well.
You're here to promote
India's interests
So please, let us stick to that.
Sir, the two of us,
we're a team.
Excuse me!
I will not allow you to desecrate
my mother tongue in this office.
Involving China any further
than you already have
will put the whole subcontinent's
security at risk.
Sir, this--
Why do you want to compromise
our friendship of so many years?
We know what is best
for Nepal's interests.
We do not have to put any more
eggs in India's basket.
- Thank you very much.
- Sir, may I say something?
Excuse me?
Where did you get this?
A journalist in Kolkata.
These rumors are baseless.
They're targeting my son
because of the upcoming elections.
He has nothing to do
with this timber smuggling ring.
These pictures are doctored.
We thought the same, sir.
In fact, Ambassador Khurana
and Deputy Consul Solanki
have been trying to quash
this story since morning.
Thank God it ended well.
For a minute,
I thought we had lost him.
- Sir, shall I go get the car?
- Yes.
Blackmailing a Minister?
Don't you think you should
consult your Ambassador
before making such a brazen move?
Have I ever stopped you from speaking?
No, sir.
But since it was a matter
of national security,
I thought you wouldn't mind.
Sorry, sir.
No need to apologize, Suhana
Your father was my Ambassador
at the Korean Embassy
and your grandfather's name features
in every civics textbook in India.
Diplomatic instincts
run in your blood
but you cannot bypass protocol.
Yes, sir.
By the way, seating arrangements for
the SAARC summit meeting are locked.
You'll be seated in the center,
instead of the Chinese Ambassador.
The photos will look great.
I had my doubts about you,
but no, you are ready.
Completely ready.
For what, sir?
Who was that Kolkata journalist, again?
Ma'am, please sign here.
London Bridge is falling down,
falling down, falling down
But sir, the DHC position
is going to Jacob Tamang, right?
An alumnus of St. Stephen's College
and Harvard University,
Suhana Bhatia is earning more laurels
for her illustrious political family.
By rising to the second-highest
diplomatic position in Great Britain,
Suhana is set to become India's
youngest Deputy High Commissioner.
Let's hear more about this from
India's Foreign Minister,
Manohar Rawal.
Sir, some say that nepotism
has played a major role
in her appointment
These news anchors talk
such rubbish!
Suhana's grandfather was
India's first UN Representative.
And her father has served
as our Ambassador to Korea,
Russia, and Germany.
Suhana, you have a flight to catch.
I'm sure Suhana Bhatia will
not just live up to her legacy,
but become one of
our finest IFS officers.
- Congratulations!
- Of course, of course!
So proud of you.
Hope for the best!
- On a different note
- Dhanraj, she is truly your daughter!
Our reports indicate that Pakistan
has agreed to extradite Yaseen Mirza.
Will Pakistan really go
through with this,
or is this just another ploy?
No matter how big the mistake,
everyone deserves a second chance.
What?
He's sent so many chocolates, messages
God, Ma, I can't believe you're
going on about this
Can't you forgive him?
By the way, all his stuff
lying in your room
- What do I do with that?
- What do you mean?
It's such a pain
to clean that mess
It's in my room,
you don't have to clean it.
Can you at least tell me
what happened between you two?
I really thought Shantanu would
rescue you from this Bhatia legacy.
- What do you mean by "Bhatia legacy"?
- Thank God, I escaped.
Dhanraj is my brother,
and I love him.
But he'll squander your life
for his legacy.
Auntie, I thought at least
you'd be proud of my promotion.
- I am proud!
- What is this, Mumma?
But pride doesn't get you through life.
Everything, every time
cannot be for the country
- Suhana, hurry up!
- There he goes again.
Let it be.
This father-daughter team
All they care about is work.
I surrender.
- I know you'll miss me, Mumma. It's okay.
- I know, my child.
- Come here. I'll miss you!
- Oh, so much love!
I'll miss you, my child.
Just say it.
You don't think I deserve
this position either, right?
No, it's not like that.
To get this post at your age
in a bureaucratic
organization like the IFS is
unusual.
I'm just
Didn't Rawal uncle tell you
how pleased he was
with my work in Kathmandu?
I'm not questioning your capabilities
or your achievements.
- Really?
- Yes, really!
I mean
Can you slow down?
If I go slow, you'll say,
"What's the use of all your privilege,
education, and opportunities
if you can't achieve twice
as much as everyone else?"
So you want me to lie to you?
No, I want you to
What?
I want you to believe in me.
Just a little bit.
Like Rawal uncle does,
like the Prime Minister does.
No matter how I got this position,
I will do full justice to it.
You should know that.
Please, my child.
Hey!
Jet lagged, Madam DHC?
Nights in London are an illusion.
The sun breaks for rest at nine
and is back at it by five.
Wait and watch.
It will be daylight
before we even reach home.
Could you turn off the AC, please?
The window's open.
Yes, madam.
Are you from Hyderabad?
You have a sharp ear!
I'm from Moghalpura.
Salim Sayeed.
And when did you join the Embassy?
I'm new to the Embassy,
but I know London in and out.
You're new to the city.
If you face any problem,
feel free to call me anytime.
By the way,
my wife makes excellent biryani.
- If you--
- All cities are the same, Salimji.
I'll be fine.
Of course, madam.
You are a senior officer
you must've traveled the world.
I was just
Take this.
Take care of ma'am.
Salimji?
Yes?
The next time your wife makes
biryani, could you get me some?
Certainly.
The thing is,
cities may all be the same
but one needs a friend in every city.
Of course, my child
Sorry.
Goodnight, Madam DHC.
Goodnight.
Did you speak to Shantanu?
Why?
I spotted him yesterday at
Mehta uncle's daughter's wedding.
He was with someone else.
- I almost went to speak to him--
- One second, Ma.
This outlet, is this right?
It's from the list
the Press Office sent us.
I know that,
but if I'm asking you,
I expect you to reconfirm it.
Yes?
Of course, Madam DHC.
Yes, Ma.
- You're so stern!
- Good morning, ma'am.
- Can't you be nice?
- Good morning, Madam DHC.
- Which one?
- Fine, if you can't forgive Shantanu
I have zero interest
in Shantanu's love life.
You can throw his stuff
out of my room as well.
Ma'am
Fine. Why should I care?
Go to your fancy Michelin
restaurants all alone.
By the way,
how's the weather?
- Is it cold?
- No, why?
- I'm coming over.
- One second.
There's only one way
to get you to settle down.
I don't want you to end up
like your father
married to your work.
Mumma, you need help. Bye.
Hello! Hello Su-
The entire Indian delegation
is extremely appreciative
of your time and effort, Minister,
in reaching this landmark deal.
Rubbish! All I did was
stay out of the way.
The real credit
goes to our aides.
Ladies, take a bow!
Thank you, sir, but manufacturing
Hydrogen Electrolyzers in India
to reduce costs
was entirely Suhana's idea.
- Good job, El!
- What did she say?
I guess you'll just have to take
Hindi lessons to find out.
Well, if it means more money
flowing into the UK,
cleaner air for our planet
What? I'm protesting.
She stole your position.
Bloody diplomats!
Let it go, Kutty.
We're RAW officers, man.
Why care about their promotions?
They don't want to
promote RAW officers, so be it!
But why her?
Who's this girl?
What does she have
other than her family name?
Number two of the UK Embassy?
More like number two in the toilet!
Hey, what's the name
of their minister?
Rawal?
I bet he's buddies with her dad.
How else would she--
She could be "buddies"
with him herself!
Must've charmed his pants off,
if you know what I mean
Namaskar!
I'm Elena.
You work for Suhana at the embassy?
Actually, we work for India
at the embassy.
Would any of you have a cigarette?
Madam, you're learning Hindi?
Very good.
But you know, India is much bigger
than North Indians alone.
Sebin is from Kerala
One of the most progressive
states in the South of India
with the highest literacy rate.
I think he's suggesting
you learn Malayalam as well.
Since India has many other
languages apart from Hindi.
Right?
Why not!
Imagine three women talking
like that about a male superior?
They would have been fired like
Yeah, but I don't want to
hurt their careers.
It's silly.
- Oh, my God.
- What?
He makes Japanese sound like Urdu.
So hot!
Calm down, Elena!
He's discussing wholesale
rates for vegetables
Hey
Mind your own business!
- That was bad!
- Very bad.
He's coming over.
Stop staring!
- Namaskar!
- Namaskar!
Konnichiwa.
What's your name?
I'm Elena.
And this is Suhana.
Suhana like a journey?
Oh, behave!
- She's your Deputy High Commissioner.
- Oh, pardon me.
I'll have the Old Fashioned, please.
- What would you like?
- A glass of Merlot, please.
In what language can
I get her to speak to me?
Try French?
Can I buy you a drink?
How do you know
so many languages?
- Success!
- You're welcome.
I'm Nakul Sharma.
What would you like?
- I'll have a Jack and Ginger, please.
- Jack and Ginger?
Why? Is that a problem?
No, I
Please charge him for his drink.
He's not with the embassy.
- It's on the house, Chef.
- Thank you, Steve.
Hang on.
Are you the chef here?
- No, we couldn't afford him.
- Why not?
- He's a Michelin-star chef.
- Thank you, Steve. Thank you.
I was, in Osaka
Let's see how it goes here.
Michelin chef!
Suhana's obsessed with
Michelin-star restaurants.
Really? Which ones?
You sound surprised?
It's just the Jack and Ginger
Jack and Ginger
is my dad's favorite drink.
So, what else does your dad like?
Move on.
Suhana!
Shit!
Thank you.
I'll just be back.
I've got 213.
I'm sorry if I overstepped in there.
It's just that
I'm new to this city, and
I felt like I needed a friend.
Shall we leave?
It's late, we should go home.
Let's dance the night away
Want to try the best clair in London?
You mean "Eclair"?
That's what I meant.
I've had London's best eclair.
Cafe de Sol.
Impossible!
Even King Charles can't
get a reservation there.
Well, I got one,
and I have the evidence.
I can show you the bill.
Why don't we go sometime?
Really?
A little hint of mischief
Take it all the way
This heart's a bit wild
Where's home for you?
For now, right here.
And where's your family?
No clue, I was twelve
when they abandoned me.
Let's dance the night away
Let's dance the night away
Don't hold back, let's get swayed
Let's dance the night away
Let's dance the night away
Let's dance the night away
Come a little closer
Read the signs in my eyes
In the curl of my lips
Lurks a smile I can't disguise
All we have is tonight
We may not get another day
A little hint of mischief
Come, take it all the way
Let's dance the night away
Let's dance the night away
Don't hold back, let's get swayed
Let's dance the night away
Let's dance the night away
Let's dance the night away
Let's dance the night away
Running cuts.
Let's dance the night away
Had to pick up some
friends from the airport.
I'm sure they'll quiz me about you.
So, if it's okay with you
Can I call you my girlfriend?
P.S. The band-aids are for your feet.
If your answer is no,
please send them back
They'll help heal
my broken heart.
And India is extremely grateful to France
not just for their cooperation,
but also their magnanimous contribution.
Soldier for soldier, to the
peacekeeping effort in Lebanon.
Thank you very much, Henri.
You're welcome.
Please.
Thank you!
- After you, Your Excellency.
- Excuse me, sir.
Guys, guys
Thank you so much for agreeing
to make the announcement
in London, Your Excellency.
New Delhi thought it would
help put more pressure
on Great Britain to participate.
You were very aggressive, Ms Bhatia.
You were right, but aggressive.
Thank you!
If you'd excuse me.
Stop gatecrashing our events,
you'll end up in jail!
I'm working, what are you doing?
Keep going
we haven't even undressed yet.
Let's keep it simple.
I don't want to overplay
this whole blackmail act.
The deal you guys announced
at the party that night
Hydrogen something
Whatever it was.
I need a copy of the deal.
My bosses want it, man.
They want to bid on it or something.
Get me the papers,
and I'll delete the video. I swear.
Personal guarantee.
Okay?
Su
Why are you looking
at me like that?
This is my job,
I'm a professional!
Oh, hello sir
So sorry, I'm here without
your permission, Your Majesty
Actually, I just got here from Delhi
Myself, Nakul Bhatia
Suhana's cousin!
I was in London, and I
couldn't resist stopping by.
Such a big day for us Bhatias.
It calls for celebration, right, sir?
Yes, of course.
And congratulations.
In fact, to the entire family.
The PM confirmed it last night.
Dhanraj uncle,
President of the UN!
India's representative to the UN.
Thank you very much,
Your Highness.
- Excuse me.
- Sir.
Hey, calm down!
Take a deep breath.
One, two, three, four, five
One, two, three
You get too stressed!
Look, I can imagine
how you're feeling.
But be a little rational, babe!
Do you really think
the guys who hired me are novices?
They've researched you completely.
How to embarrass you, your father
they have it all figured out.
You have 72 hours
to get me the papers.
It's a simple deal.
We're just trying to make a living!
Su
You'll manage, right?
If you're late by an hour or two,
I can handle it.
But after that,
I'll have to release the video.
See you.
By the way
Our 8:00 p.m. date is still on, right?
If you're in a bad mood,
we can reschedule.
And keep that video safe
You know me, I'm shy.
Breaking news in the world of diplomacy
A high-ranking Indian diplomat
has been caught spying
on behalf of an Indian.
An official at the UK high commission,
Suhana Bhatia was arrested last night
Senior Ambassador
Dhanraj Bhatia's daughter--
She was allegedly honey-trapped
on a corporate espionage assignment
related to a newly approved
Green Energy bill
that was signed
She claims she was blackmailed
by a corporate agent.
You have 72 hours
After that, I'll have
to release the video.
Oh, Suhana
Suhana.
Come in, he's almost done.
This Yaseen Mirza announcement
Is it just lip service,
or will Pakistan actually
extradite him?
The PM wants us to get
Yaseen Mirza to India anyhow.
And that's why we are
inviting Shahzad Alam
to our Independence Day Parade.
But Pakistan's Independence Day
is just a day before ours
Why would they send him here?
Exactly.
Well played, Rawal sir!
Very well played.
- Jai Hind.
- Jai Hind!
Good you came.
I need to have a word with you.
Explain this to me, because
honestly, this is beyond
my wildest comprehension.
I mean, after so many years
in an organization like the IFS,
if you still don't understand
the value of perception and discretion
Especially in this day and age,
when every single one of us
is under surveillance.
Do you think Rawal sir won't ask me
how this happened
right under my nose?
Unbelievable.
Have a look.
Go on.
Bloody Gujral in Edinburgh
He's liking porn tweets!
It barely takes a minute
for these screenshots
to go viral globally.
Won't this damage our country's image?
And our diplomatic standing?
Idiot!
Tell me
What should we do?
Fire him, sir.
This is a great PR opportunity.
It will be wasted if we hand over
Yaseen Mirza to India now.
But we've already promised India
that we will deport Yaseen Mirza.
That's the basis on which I was invited
to their Independence Day celebration.
We cannot risk the trust we are building.
Accept India's invitation right away.
When news spreads,
that you're going to attend
India's Independence Day
instead of your own
no one will doubt Pakistan's intentions.
If Yaseen Mirza could bring
India's secrets to us
he can also take our secrets back to them.
As your Defense Minister,
can't I get some time, Shahzad?
Do it very carefully.
Don't do anything
that weakens the trust
between our nations.
Have faith.
I'll handle it myself.
Okay.
Our prince will attend
your Independence Day party,
albeit empty-handed.
The ball is in your court now.
Follow the plan,
and you'll have nothing to worry about.
If you screw up,
I'll have Yaseen Mirza
show up at your front door.
Sorry, I didn't mean to
I didn't mean to
I won't take up much of your time,
Madam DHC.
I just came here to apologize.
What you heard
at the party that night
That was unprofessional.
You don't deserve that.
It's fine.
Thank you.
Jacob?
Yes, ma'am?
How do we conduct background checks?
If I need to do one
Ma'am
I can manage that for you.
But if I want to handle it myself?
You see, it's kind of personal.
So if I could do it unofficially
I'm sorry, ma'am, but
It will have to be done officially.
RAW protocol.
Of course, yeah.
Just escalate the application.
I'll compile all the files
and give them to you personally.
- If that works.
- Yes. Sounds good.
I think you dropped a paper here.
- Oh!
- Looks like
Thank you.
Papers flying everywhere!
Is everything okay?
Yes!
Anything else?
At your service, ma'am.
Biggest breaking news of the hour.
The foreign ministry just confirmed
that Senior Ambassador Dhanraj Bhatia
has been appointed as India's new
Permanent Representative to the UN.
Dhanraj Bhatia, a senior IFS official
will be replacing RK Ramaswamy,
India's current Permanent
Representative to the UN.
Bhatia is a graduate
of the 1975 IFS batch.
In his three-decade-long career,
he has held several
prominent positions
in countries including
Russia, Germany, and Pakistan.
Hi, Suhana!
The tenders from the green energy deal
we cracked with the Nashik company
Please speak in Hindi, Miss Bhatia.
Fine.
In the Hydrogen Electrolyzers deal,
has the tender from that
Nashik company been accepted?
Yes, the deal was signed
yesterday morning
and the first advance
has been processed as well.
Why?
Nothing, it's just
Can the deal be called off?
If another company were to
present a better offer?
No.
It's done.
Suhana
is there a problem?
As you may very well know
Paper?
Video.
It's an air-gapped drive.
The file's metadata,
and transfer history. It has everything.
You can have it checked.
Here, take it. Have fun.
I don't trust you.
Do you have another option?
The guys that hired you
They're idiots.
The deal has been signed.
MOUs, long-form, everything.
And you?
After being spotted at
all these embassy events
You think you'll get away with it?
Sweetie, I don't get paid to think.
I get paid to
Papers.
That look.
I know it!
You're judging me, Su!
Fine. Go ahead, judge me!
Everyone's so selfish,
no one gives a shit about Nakul.
Put yourself in my shoes,
then you'll know.
You think I enjoy this?
It's my job!
I'm a professional.
Embassy?
Is everything okay?
My child
In order to get help,
you need to ask for it.
Uncle, if I give you fingerprints
or handwriting samples, can you
You were in the police, right?
I can't route this through
the embassy or RAW officials.
Give me the data,
I'll get it done.
Sir
Looks like he's fallen
in love with Pakistan.
He doesn't want to go back to India.
I believe they're preparing
a grand farewell for him there?
Sadly
it will all go to waste.
No one understands the value
of Mirza Sahab's life
After all
he's at the heart of the plan.
Returning these works of art
to governments like India
will be a far grander gesture
to member nations of the Commonwealth.
Accordingly, if paragraph eleven,
point three, is modified,
India will have to abstain.
Steven Wilfred from the
UK High Commission here.
Conversations about returning
these works of art
are not something our governments
are even engaging in at the moment.
But we can look at discussing it when
there's a Commonwealth Nations meeting
at some point in Somalia next year.
This is about reversing
100 years of colonial history
and it's not something our government
Sachin, could you book me
- on the first flight to Delhi, please?
- Sure, ma'am.
Any flight today,
whichever reaches soonest.
Congratulations, ma'am. I read the news
about your father in the internal memos.
Thank you.
- Congratulations, ma'am.
- Thank you.
I'd like to make a booking for Madam DHC.
Uncle, any update on the fingerprints?
I'm on it.
By the time you're back from India,
I'll have all the information ready.
Let me know if you want
anything from Delhi,
- any masalas or something.
- I don't want anything.
- Let me get your bags.
- I'll get a trolley. Oh, sorry.
Give my regards to your father.
When will he visit?
Your phone's ringing.
Is there anything else in the car?
- Come, let me take this.
- No, I'll manage.
- You're sure?
- Yes.
Okay, bye.
Hello, Su!
Where are you running off to?
I got you a farewell gift.
Check the link!
And you thought
your Nakul was stupid.
Your photos weren't the best,
but they contained all the proof
those guys needed.
So?
So what?
The electrolyzers were made
to generate green energy.
What buyers do with it
cannot become India's responsibility.
You're too cute!
No one gives a shit, sweetie.
The whole world now thinks
India's secretly building a hydrogen bomb.
And Su, that sly fingerprints move?
Very naughty!
But why did you involve your driver?
Let the old man live in peace.
You could've just asked me!
I'd have sent you my biodata.
Are you ready? Here goes
Age, 40.
Birthplace, Lahore.
Marital status, single, ready to mingle!
And occupation?
Ready for it, Su?
You're listening, right?
Loyal guard-dog
of the Pakistani secret service.
ISI agent.
And my real name is
Mohammad Humayun Akhtar.
Now let's discuss
your next assignment.
I'd rather give my life
than cooperate with you.
But your life's already
in our hands, sweetie.
Go on, take a look.
These photos will look great
on the news, right?
Shut up
By the way, what's the punishment
for treason in India these days?
Shut up!
Eight
Page number eight.
Some numbers and details
are incorrect, but
this information was never in
our official press releases.
What's
What's the source for this intel?
Our man inside the ISI.
Our undercover agents informed us.
There could be a leak, sir.
We must investigate this, sir.
Before any critical information
is compromised--
Kamat, breathe.
You should have told them.
Your father has
such an important event.
How could you just cancel?
These embassy people, seriously
Uncle, I don't need you to trace
that fingerprint anymore.
Don't ask anyone, please.
The job's done.
I don't need it.
- Are you sure?
- Yes.
I'm sure.
The RAW undercover agents
hiding in our Islamabad Embassy
Get me their names.
I will not put anyone's life in danger.
What about your own?
Their careers will be finished.
And what about your dad's career?
Your father's appointment
ceremony is in 48 hours.
I want the names
before the ceremony begins.
You missed your flight?
Really?
That's not like you.
I'm sorry, Papa.
No, it's okay.
Because of the leak, I can imagine
how stressful things must be.
Suhana?
I
Perhaps you were right
about the IFS.
Maybe
I'm not ready for this.
Sorry.
"No matter how I got this position,
I will do full justice to it."
Isn't that what you said?
- Yes, Papa.
- Well, that's that!
It's time to prove your worth.
You're a Bhatia
Quitting is not an option.
Do you understand?
Yes, Papa.
Most people just have to choose
between right and wrong.
But in our line of work,
there are often
no right choices in sight.
Your job
is to identify the least harmful choice.
Do you get it?
- Yes, Papa.
- Good.
Now go make me proud.
Why read so many menus, if you're
just going to order butter chicken?
Watch it, bro
Not a word against butter chicken!
And where's your family?
No clue. I was twelve
when they abandoned me.
Jacob!
Thank God you're here.
The journalists attending
the art event tomorrow
I need to vet that list.
I can't seem to find it
Thank you.
Your father's appointment
ceremony is in 48 hours.
I want the names
before the ceremony begins.
RAW thinks there's a leak.
Why don't you ask
the Pakistani PM directly?
It will tell you how
genuine their friendship is.
You seem suspicious
about Pakistan's intentions
Sir, if their intentions were right,
they wouldn't keep delaying
Yaseen Mirza's extradition.
We should be cautious.
You already know, Dhanraj
Before the IFS,
when I was in Delhi Police
I was the one leading this case.
The way Yaseen Mirza escaped
from right under my nose--
Sir, keeping Yaseen Mirza
in police custody
wasn't your responsibility alone.
How many people can you convince?
I just want Yaseen Mirza
brought back to India.
And if Pakistan needs
a few more months, so be it.
Yes, sir.
I just hope
ISI isn't up to something here.
Did you get the names?
What happened?
Do it.
Kill me.
What happened, Suhana?
I'm a traitor.
Traitor, patriot
These are just words, Suhana.
Traps laid out by capitalists
that only people like us fall for.
Nations, borders
They're just lines drawn in the sand.
They mean nothing.
They do to me, Nakul.
My nation is my identity.
It's my--
Humayun.
Do you really believe
that everything you've done
has been for your country?
Yes, but you've taken
it all away from me!
Everything!
I can't even talk to my family.
Because of you
I am completely alone.
You've always been alone.
I've just freed you from this illusion.
You don't give a damn about me,
so just cut the bullshit.
And tell me what else you want.
I want to visit
Jamia Darbar Sharif.
I've heard there's solace
to be found there.
I need an Indian Visa.
I will submit the application
at the embassy tomorrow.
I'm sure you'll manage the rest.
Hi, sweetheart,
how are you?
We're missing you so much.
We're getting ready for
the appointment ceremony.
Talk to Dad.
Talk to her,
I'm making a video for her!
Hi, Suhana, how are you doing?
We wish you were here.
Sorry, just trying to put my shoes on!
God! You know how he is.
It's getting late. Let's go.
- Yeah.
- Dhanraj, get out of frame!
- We must be on time.
- Bye, my child.
- Love you.
- We're all waiting for you, Suhana.
- Come soon.
- Bye.
- What do you think you're doing?
- What are you doing?
- Excuse me!
- What's going on there?
What the hell have you done?
Can you cut that out?
Calm down.
- Calm down, brother.
- Take it easy!
Get your stuff. Let's go.
- Here, take this. Sorry.
- Is she alright?
Come on.
I was just taking a selfie!
Eighteen minutes ago
the black hawks
of our Defense Department
had to extract two of
our undercover agents
from a dingy street in Karachi.
That too, thanks to an anonymous tip!
First that Hydrogen Electrolyzer deal.
And now
the identity of our undercover officers.
Cover blown!
What's the point of my
heading the intelligence unit
if I don't get any
goddamned intelligence?
Sir, may I?
We've traced the anonymous tip
back to London.
All our answers are
in the UK High Commission.
We have to act now.
Jacob?
What the hell are you doing here?
What do you think you're doing?
I haven't even started yet!
Jacob, what is this?
Were all the government
perks not enough?
Is that why you
betrayed our country?
Yes.
I know.
Suhana Bhatia
Pakistani spy.
Enemy of the nation.
Traitor.
Ever since you asked me about
unofficial background checks
I've been tracking you.
Jacob, it's not what you think.
- I'm being blackmailed.
- So?
You think you're the first Indian officer
to be blackmailed?
Before I report you
I just want to know.
Who is your handler inside IFS?
Who gave you this post?
Was it Kazi?
- Jacob
- Who stands to benefit from your--
Before I report you,
I just want to know.
Who is your handler inside IFS?
Who stands to benefit from your--
You did this!
Because of you.
Suhana
Suhana
You don't have time.
Clean everything.
Everything.
Pay attention to every small detail.
I'll handle the rest.
Suhana Bhatia?
Can we speak upstairs?
- Excuse me?
- Deputy Prakash Kamat.
RAW wing.
That's my boss,
RAW Chief Sanjeev Bajpai.
Can I offer you something?
No, thank you.
Here.
Nice space you have here.
What a lovely view!
Clean everything.
Everything.
There's a mole in the London Embassy.
After the Hydrogen Electrolyzer
deal was leaked
two of our undercover officers
had their covers blown.
And last night
Did you know Jacob Tamang?
Yes.
He was killed in a
gas explosion last night.
But we think this is the work
of the same informant.
Arresting this informant has
become the agency's top priority.
Why are you telling me this?
Because sir wants you
to lead this investigation.
With all due respect, sir,
I'm not
I'm not qualified to do this job.
You have other RAW officers
embedded in the embassy.
Why not ask one
of them to investigate?
Actually, our chief suspect
happens to be a RAW agent.
And he will be expecting
another RAW officer
to carry out the investigation.
But he won't suspect you.
The element of surprise?
Who is your suspect?
Sebin Kutty.
Kutty used to work
at our Islamabad embassy.
His posting was terminated
due to operational insubordination.
That's probably when
the ISI recruited him.
He's a very sharp agent.
We can't afford a single mistake
if we want to catch him.
I'll have to take permission
from High Commissioner Kazi
He's already been briefed.
You're on the job
from this moment on, Ms Bhatia.
All the best.
All the best.
Gas leak?
Jacob?
Do they take us for morons?
Whatever happened
I don't know how,
but she's the one
behind this whole shit-mess.
Calm down, bro.
If you make accusations without proof,
you will be fired.
You think I give a shit?
From now on
I'll be tracking her every move.
Jacob was like my brother.
He worked so hard to get here.
Brother, he will be avenged.
Get this approved.
It should be ready by the
3:00 p.m. pickup slot tomorrow.
Okay.
And clear the second half of tomorrow.
Something personal has come up.
Shall I inform Salimji?
Do you need the car?
No.
Okay. Thank you.
- Here's your passport.
- Thank you.
Token number 82.
Hi, sir. Your name, please?
Nakul Sharma.
Here's your passport, sir.
Thank you.
Thank you.
- Hi, ma'am. Your name, please?
- Token number 83.
Hi.
What about my money?
Sorry, took a little longer.
If you face any problem,
feel free to call me anytime.
It's late.
We should go home.
To get help,
you need to ask for it.
But why did you involve your driver?
Let the old man live in peace.
Hello?
The visa I had issued yesterday
Nakul Sharma?
The passport has been picked up,
but cancel the visa.
Right now!
Shoot, shoot!
Slam dunk!
Suhana?
What's the matter?
I could have come to you
You called me your child, right?
Right?
Is this how you treat your daughter?
Suhana, calm down.
You still need me.
Suhana!
Suhana, enough.
Enough!
Stop!
You shouldn't have come here.
Salim.
Salim!
Where are my photos and videos?
Who has them?
Who do you work for in the ISI?
I don't work for the ISI
Stop lying, please!
They didn't want
the blame to fall on India.
That's why they made me do it.
What blame?
Blame for what?
Please tell me!
Who is Humayun?
Who is your boss, Salim?
Salim?
Salim?
Salim!
Salim!
Salim!
Deputy Prakash Kamat.
RAW wing.
No, no, no!
Please, don't. Please!
Quiet! Not a sound.
Trying to wipe out the proof?
No.
- Is that why you killed Jacob as well?
- No!
- What are you, man?
- Nothing. I'm being blackmailed.
And I just realized Salim
was part of their--
Shut up!
Is that what you told Jacob?
Always showing your innocent face
You think it'll work with me?
One minute, please give me one--
- Think it'll work with me?
- One second.
Just listen to me,
then shoot me if you want.
- I'm right here.
- What do you want to say?
Just hear me out for a second.
There are photos on that table.
Look at those photos, please.
Behind Salim
- Prakash Kamat.
- Exactly.
- So?
- When Kamat came to my house,
Salim pretended like
he didn't recognize him.
- There's a
- Hey!
I'm right here.
"Sanjeev Bajpai."
What is this?
I don't know,
but if we don't find out soon--
Shut up! There is no "we."
I still work for India.
Salim's laptop
There's a video on it.
Please watch it.
Move.
Collect all the evidence you can.
You'll need it.
Is Tango the same guy?
The one in the video?
What's wrong?
Are you hurting?
Fine, I'll go have some tea.
I'll take a break to smoke.
You want to cry, no?
Why don't you call your daddy?
Call him.
That's how it goes, right?
You make a mess
and idiots like me
are sent to clean it up.
Case status.
Prakash Kamat.
ISI informer.
Salim, your driver.
Dead.
The police will reach
his home any minute.
And I'm sure they'll pin that on you.
Of course, they'll pin--
Bajpai and Kamat came
to London to find the informant,
and you're their prime suspect.
They're not done using me yet.
What?
Unbelievable!
What did I do to deserve this?
What is wrong with you people?
And I'm the prime suspect?
Diplomats like you,
stay on your high horse
and people like me
have to pay the price!
You were right, Sebin.
Jacob was right.
This position was never really mine.
They knew everything about me,
about my father.
I got played.
Tango is a trained operative
and you're white-collar IFS.
You don't have field training.
Yes, you made a mistake,
but you're also a victim here.
Now, would you rather stay a victim,
or make things right?
Decide.
Separate the two, don't complicate it.
Salim said something before he died
That he doesn't work for the ISI.
That's what they always say,
so we don't harass their families.
Doesn't mean anything.
But he said something
About India getting blamed
Fine, let's assume
Salim didn't work for the ISI,
he worked for Prakash Kamat.
But why would he send
your photos to the RAW chief?
And, why? Just why the hell
am I the prime suspect in this?
I just entered this mess!
Prakash Kamat
- Sebin
- Brother!
Can you take a photo of us?
Sebin, why are you
giving him Salim's phone?
That's my evidence.
Dirty shoes do always smell.
- What?
- Dirty shoes do always smell.
Those who sin do go to hell.
- Have you lost it?
- Exactly. Thank you.
The more critical the information
the easier it is for people to believe it.
We have to follow ourselves.
Simple.
Whoa, whoa wait.
Here as in?
Kamat's in Delhi, right?
Didn't you cancel Tango's visa?
You don't know Tango.
If he wants to get to India
no one can stop him.
"I'll ask and tell you."
But who is he asking?
Sanjiv Bajpai is the RAW chief
Why would he work for the ISI?
And what's this Tango
of yours doing in Delhi?
Why did he ask for a visa
if he didn't need one?
What the hell is going on?
Sebin
What?
Independence day.
We're not going to
accomplish anything here.
If we want to stop him,
we have to go to Delhi.
How will you go to Delhi?
I'm sure your passport
has been flagged.
I'm a RAW agent, I'll manage.
Thanks, brother.
I'll ensure your family
gets what they need.
Can Tango's photo help us?
Does RAW have some tech that can
Ten points to IFS.
Sanjiv Bajpai is your suspect,
and you want me
to ask RAW for help?
Until this shit-mess is solved,
we are on our own.
We'll have to do this alone.
We have one lead
Prakash Kamat.
He's the answer to all our questions.
Send me Tango's picture.
I still have some friends.
Let me try.
Any other information
you can give me?
Height, five-eleven.
Light brown eyes
One second.
Want to try London's best clair?
You mean "eclair"?
He might be French-Canadian.
He's skilled at switching accents,
but the night I met him
he slipped up on a word.
Built in the 1800s,
during the Sikh period,
- Wow!
- Rawalpindi's greatest monument.
Please. excuse me.
I mean, sorry
Important call from
a very old friend.
Okay.
You take picture.
I take call.
Okay.
Dirty shoes do always smell.
Those who sin go to hell!
Greetings, Kutty Sahab!
Greetings, Hamid Sahab.
I'm sending you a photo.
Have a look.
Cell phone
And cash.
Hey!
Hey, you!
Until you get instructions
do nothing.
Good evening, sir!
What the hell is going on
in London, Kamat?
What happened, sir?
The UK authorities just informed Kazi.
When will you wake up?
Salim, Suhana Bhatia's driver,
was found dead in his apartment!
- Your investigator Suhana Bhatia
- Sir
Where is her investigation?
We don't have time for proof.
Tell her to bring Kutty in.
Right now!
Bloody hell
This is too much now.
Sir's not at home.
- Tell me something
- Yes?
There must be a terrace where
these wires can be accessed, right?
I'm checking for leaks.
When a pipe leaks,
the water pressure reduces
- Really?
- It's the same with internet speed.
Yes, I'm just checking.
Why don't you
go down and check?
Yeah, hold this.
Where did you get the idea
of tapping his house?
From him.
I'm giving him a taste
of his own medicine.
Don't they teach you
anything at RAW Academy?
I'll show you what they teach us.
It's done.
Give him a signal.
Give him a thumbs-up!
A little higher.
Higher!
Suhana, move your hand to the right.
Can you give a thumbs-up
with a different finger?
I'm just messing with you!
Come down.
Now we can control any device
that logs onto this Wi-Fi network.
That's what they teach us at RAW Academy.
Sure.
Who is he?
Actually, he's the one who teaches there.
I mean, he used to.
I was the class topper.
Well, almost.
Third from the top.
Where's the lock?
This lock was for your safety.
The enemy has eyes everywhere.
If they spot you, you're dead.
You think Kamat has another laptop?
The moment he accesses
the Wi-Fi, we'll know.
Tell me something.
You used my RAW terminal,
without my permission
to scan Tango's fingerprints?
Aren't you ashamed?
You should be ashamed.
How can a RAW officer
just leave his system unattended?
Bloody diplomats.
Always beating around the bush.
Bloody agents.
Always assuming that women
only get promoted through sex.
What?
Keeping your finger on the pulse?
Sebin He's on a call.
Sir, there is no update on Sebin Kutty.
But Suhana Bhatia's passport
has been stamped in Delhi.
Shall I send the file to Bajpai sir?
No, no. Any information on that
file should come only to me.
They know you're in Delhi.
I'm sure they're still
hunting me in London.
We have intel on Tango.
He's not an ISI agent.
He's a hired gun. Sniper.
You were right about the accent.
He's French-Canadian.
From Montreal.
But he has a different
name in our network.
David.
Hey.
Get some sleep.
You sleep.
I'll keep watch for a little longer.
Someone might call at night.
Do as you wish.
I'm not calling a doctor
if you fall sick.
Don't blame me then.
Hey.
What's Kamat up to?
He's sleeping.
Sebin!
- You never listen to anything--
- Ma, my ass is on fire here!
Yes, sir.
Don't worry, sir.
The Lion of Punjab
will get a 21-gun salute.
Tango won't miss the target.
"The Lion of Punjab
will get a 21-gun salute."
Tango is going to kill
The Lion of Punjab.
The Lion of Punjab.
Chief Minister of Punjab?
The Lion of Punjab.
But why target
the CM of Punjab?
What does Nakul have to do
with Punjab's politics?
The Lion of Punjab.
They aren't talking
about the Punjab CM.
They're planning to
kill Shahzad Alam.
The Prime Minister of Pakistan.
"The Lion of Punjab."
That's what the Pakistani media calls him!
But
But why has Tango
come to India to kill Alam?
It doesn't make any sense.
Because Shahzad Alam is in India.
But why would he skip Pakistan's
Independence Day to attend ours?
We have no time.
Our Independence Day
event is in 24 hours,
Alam is already in the country.
We must act now.
We have to stop Tango.
I want to visit
Jamia Darbar Sharif.
I've heard there's solace
to be found there.
Wait.
What?
While asking for the visa
Nakul told me he wants
to visit Jamia Darbar Sharif.
The attack will happen
at Jamia Darbar Sharif.
He must have said it
just to get a visa--
No, you don't know him.
He wants to destroy me.
He's toying with me.
He wants me to have
the information, and still be helpless
- against him.
- You're taking this too personally.
- Yes, I am.
- Why?
- Because it is personal!
- Why? Why is it personal?
Was what he did
to me not personal?
My identity, my choices,
he robbed me of everything!
He just made me his sacrificial lamb
Fine.
So what will the lamb do now?
Devour the tiger.
Alam's schedule.
We need Shahzad Alam's
diplomatic schedule.
If the attack is to happen
at the dargah,
- it must be somewhere on his schedule.
- Yeah.
- Sebin, where are you?
- Hello?
- Do me a favor.
- What?
Can you access the
Pakistani PM's Delhi schedule?
- Yeah, it's with me. Give me a moment.
- Quick!
Okay, so just check if
Jamia Sharif Darbar is on it.
Jamia Sharif Yes, it is!
At 10:30 am. He's on his way there.
Where are you, Sebin?
Listen to me. Hello?
Is he going to the dargah?
Yes.
In thirty minutes.
Whoever Kamat's boss is,
he must be very powerful.
He already knew that
Alam was coming to India.
How else could he have planned this?
That's why we're inviting Shahzad Alam
for our Independence Day Parade.
Rawal uncle made this plan
Because Pakistan was sending
Yaseen Mirza back to India.
- Yaseen Mirza?
- Yes.
The terrorist behind the Delhi blast?
Wasn't Rawal with
the Delhi Police before IFS?
Yes.
So was Kamat.
And Salim!
- Sebin
- You think it's a coincidence?
Wasn't there a rumor about Mirza?
That he bribed a Delhi cop to escape?
What if Rawal took the bribe?
Now if Yaseen Mirza returns to India
Rawal's position, reputation,
his entire life will be ruined, right?
It doesn't make sense.
Why would he take such a big
risk just to save his position?
And why would he get
me embroiled in all this?
I don't know.
I just know that if Pakistan's
Prime Minister is killed in India today
it could lead to war.
And the blame will fall
squarely on India.
There will be nothing we can do
- to stop the escalation.
- What?
- Yeah.
- Blame
They didn't want
the blame to fall on India.
That's why they made me do it.
That's what Salim said
before he died
That he did all this so
the blame doesn't fall on India.
Bullshit. They don't care
about the country.
But they care about themselves.
If the blame falls on Pakistan,
no one will ever suspect Rawal!
That's why they set me up, Sebin.
That's why they sent me to London.
They got Papa the UN posting
and lured me into this
Nakul-Humayun trap.
They created an entire paper trail
so they could prove that
I work for the ISI!
And this is all ISI's handiwork
not India's.
You can't go to the dargah.
They have all the proof
to nail you as the traitor.
- They'll shoot you at sight.
- Good.
They better.
The price of treason
can only be paid with life, Sebin.
Either your own or someone else's.
Please, come.
Welcome.
My grandparents told me
so many stories about this dargah.
I see.
Today, by allowing me to visit
this sacred place,
you've given me a chance to
honor my ancestral roots, Rawal Sahab.
You are the sky to my earth
You are my final destination
You're my greatest pursuit
Beloved, you took me in your fold
You are the sky to my earth
You are my final destination
PARKING SPODARGAH SHARIF
O Almighty, I come alive
Suhana!
O Almighty, I come alive
Touched by your divine light
O Almighty, I come alive
Move forward!
Hurry up!
Keep moving.
Come on, keep moving.
Put your hands up.
Move forward!
- Check everyone thoroughly.
- What's in your pocket?
Move forward!
How will he kill him
in such a crowded place?
He's a sniper, right?
Keep moving.
All he needs is a vantage point.
O Last Prophet
Finally we meet
Does this pain have no cure?
Does this pain have no cure?
Soothe me, open salvation's door
Soothe me, open salvation's door
In all my prayers today I yearn
Hold me close, O Holy One
Touched by your divine light
O Almighty, I come alive
Touched by your divine light
LEAK ALL THE PHOTOS AND VIDEOS
Imperfect as I am
Before you I stand
Sir, Kamat.
Sir, I just watched
all the photos and videos,
every bit of proof,
get deleted from my laptop.
What are you saying, Kamat?
Sir, we can do this another time.
No, wait for my instructions.
Sir, listen to me--
Hold me close, O Holy One
Touched by your divine light
O Almighty, I come alive
Touched by your divine light
- O Almighty, I come alive
- Suhana!
O Last Prophet
Finally we meet
Altaf, I'm aborting the mission.
I don't have the proof
to link it to ISI.
You'll have to do this on your own.
No, as long as the ISI
is with Shahzaad Alam,
it's impossible to do this in Pakistan.
Find a way
Otherwise, I'll pack Yaseen off
to Delhi tomorrow itself.
God be with you.
Imperfect as I am
Before you I stand
Imperfect as I am
Before you I stand
Test me or break me
But don't leave my hand
At long last my quest ends
Sebin!
How did you get in?
Doesn't matter.
- Sebin!
- Touched by your divine light
O Almighty, I come alive
Touched by your divine light
O Almighty, I come alive
O Last Prophet
Finally we meet
You are my ocean
You are my shore
You are my ocean

Touched by your divine light
O Almighty, I come alive

Finally we meet
You are my ocean
You are my shore

You are my shore
Stop!
You are my ocean
You are my shore
Beloved, I'm at your door
In your thrall, mesmerized
O Almighty, I come alive
In your thrall, mesmerized
Suhana!
- Why are you chasing that woman?
- Suhana!
- In your thrall, mesmerized
- Hey, you, stop!
- O Almighty, I come alive
- Suhana!
In your thrall, mesmerized
O Almighty, I come alive
What have you done, Suhana?
Hi, David
Spoilt brat.
It pains me to watch you suffer.
Take this.
Your solace.
Su
Suhana!
Rawal?
Kamat? Rawal?
Yeah.
What's going on?
Barricade the area.
- Papa
- No.
I didn't know that
working for the IFS
could take such a heavy toll.
What you had to endure
was neither part of your job description
nor were you trained for it.
And you shouldn't--
It's my fault.
What kind of father am I
All of this was happening
And you couldn't confide in me?
And you did all this
just to safeguard my promotion?
- I'm sorry.
- No, I'm sorry.
No, Papa
Not about that.
Ever since I was a kid,
everything I've done
has been to make our family
So people would pat me on my back
and tell me that I'm worthy of you
That I truly am
Dhanraj Bhatia's daughter.
So stupid of me.
Your legacy isn't
your awards or achievements.
Your legacy is your service.
Service to the nation.
Which isn't affected by
me winning or losing.
As long as the nation wins.
Right?
Yes.
I'm sorry all this happened
because of my naivety.
But, I see it now
Please hold for the Prime Minister.
Jai Hind, Suhana.
Jai Hind, sir.
Are you okay?
Sorry.
Thanks to you,
Pakistan's Prime Minister
is returning home safely
to prevent a military coup in his country.
Thanks to you, their nuclear codes
won't fall into the wrong hands.
A terrorist like Yaseen Mirza
will be brought back to India.
A traitor like Manohar Rawal
will be ousted from our cabinet
And you're apologizing?
Instead of rewarding
your bravery with a medal,
we will unfortunately
have to keep it a secret
because of national security.
Do you understand?
Not really, sir.
You will, eventually.
Jai Hind, Suhana!
Jai Hind, sir.
I'm proud of you, my child.
Shall we go home?
Still hurting?
Sir
Ma'am will have to wait.
In the last 21 hours,
she's been questioned by
nine different agencies.
- Isn't that enough for you?
- Papa.
- Papa--
- Isn't that enough?!
Papa, it's fine.
I'll be fine.
I'm not going anywhere.
I'm right there, okay?
I'm right here.
Have you spoken to the Prime Minister?
Yes.
I'll come straight to the point.
Have you ever heard of Black Cat?
No.
Good.
We work hard to keep it that way.
It's a covert military unit.
Your intelligence, your endurance,
your knowledge of foreign affairs
and decision-making skills
can be an asset to us.
RAW Chief Bajpai has
recommended you personally.
Sorry, but I won't be
of much use to anyone right now.
No problem.
I'm sure whoever reads your file
will congratulate you,
but the reality is that
you've achieved nothing.
Tango's corpse
didn't even reach the morgue.
What?
He was abducted from our convoy.
He was a member of
Zulfikar Hashmi's network.
Zulfikar abducts children
of eight to ten years of age,
trains them strategically
and ruthlessly,
and uses them against government
agents and defense officers.
Extracting and selling
secrets is his trade.
He wanted to break you
Disable you.
And he's good at it.
So if you're broken
I don't blame you.
But if you still have
some fire left in you,
come meet me next week.
We work in the dark
we work out of sight,
and we will catch Hashmi.
One more thing.
This meeting never happened.
You can leave.
Dhanraj?
Let's go.
Move it!
Sir, Sebin.
I was with Suhana
I know, Mr. Kutty.
And if it were up to me,
the whole country
would know your name.
Thank you, sir.
Yeah.
Papa, one minute
Just
Take your time.
Sebin, did someone come to meet
Suhana
Not every black cat is unlucky.
Come along, come along
Come along, come along
We'll dance until the break of dawn
Let the rain thunder on
Time for talk is long gone
Don't look back, move beyond
My God is with me
Come along, come along
Are you going to avoid my calls now?
We've been together for ages
Do you think I'm the cheating type?
Why do you think this happened?
I was lonely, Su.
If you'd given me a little attention,
do you think I would've strayed?
The problem is that
you never prioritized me.
Your actual relationship
has always been with your country.
Because that's the only way
you can make your dad happy.
And if your dad isn't happy--
The External Affairs meeting
is now at 9:00 a.m. Be on time!
We should lock our strategy
before the meeting.
If Nepal is gravitating towards China,
we need to leverage--
Relax.
Khurana sir will handle it.
You're just there to observe.
Watch the news, Suhana.
Just like Pakistan,
Nepal will fall in line as well.
See you.
Ladies and gentlemen
Please give a rousing welcome
to Pakistan's new Prime Minister,
Mr. Shahzad Alam!
- Long live
- Shahzad Alam!
Ever since Pakistan became independent,
western powers have used us
as mere pawns.
But as Pakistan's new Prime Minister,
I promise you
that we will now head
in a bold new direction.
There was so much traffic today,
I swear--
Yeah, blame it on the traffic now!
Don't worry, I'll place the candles.
Do you even know
how many candles we need?
How many?
The new Pakistan won't wage war,
but will seek diplomatic solutions.
There will be peace at our borders.
And in this peaceful spirit
we shall return
terrorist Yaseen Mirza to India.
Do you want some cake?
What about you?
Yaseen Miyaan
Keep silent, and your kids
will celebrate many more birthdays
Utter a word,
and all generations of your family
will be wiped out
on both sides of the border.
God be with you.
By handing over Yaseen,
we can usher in a
new era of friendship
between Pakistan and India.
- Long live
- Pakistan!
Move along.
Move aside.
- Move back!
- Come here.
You too, move behind!
Sir, China used the same strategy
during the Hambantota Port deal.
They promised Sri Lanka
debt-free assistance
and now look at the mess they're in.
Their earthquake relief fund
will cripple you--
Ambassador Khurana
Nepal is not Sri Lanka.
We know and understand
our border issues very well.
You're here to promote
India's interests
So please, let us stick to that.
Sir, the two of us,
we're a team.
Excuse me!
I will not allow you to desecrate
my mother tongue in this office.
Involving China any further
than you already have
will put the whole subcontinent's
security at risk.
Sir, this--
Why do you want to compromise
our friendship of so many years?
We know what is best
for Nepal's interests.
We do not have to put any more
eggs in India's basket.
- Thank you very much.
- Sir, may I say something?
Excuse me?
Where did you get this?
A journalist in Kolkata.
These rumors are baseless.
They're targeting my son
because of the upcoming elections.
He has nothing to do
with this timber smuggling ring.
These pictures are doctored.
We thought the same, sir.
In fact, Ambassador Khurana
and Deputy Consul Solanki
have been trying to quash
this story since morning.
Thank God it ended well.
For a minute,
I thought we had lost him.
- Sir, shall I go get the car?
- Yes.
Blackmailing a Minister?
Don't you think you should
consult your Ambassador
before making such a brazen move?
Have I ever stopped you from speaking?
No, sir.
But since it was a matter
of national security,
I thought you wouldn't mind.
Sorry, sir.
No need to apologize, Suhana
Your father was my Ambassador
at the Korean Embassy
and your grandfather's name features
in every civics textbook in India.
Diplomatic instincts
run in your blood
but you cannot bypass protocol.
Yes, sir.
By the way, seating arrangements for
the SAARC summit meeting are locked.
You'll be seated in the center,
instead of the Chinese Ambassador.
The photos will look great.
I had my doubts about you,
but no, you are ready.
Completely ready.
For what, sir?
Who was that Kolkata journalist, again?
Ma'am, please sign here.
London Bridge is falling down,
falling down, falling down
But sir, the DHC position
is going to Jacob Tamang, right?
An alumnus of St. Stephen's College
and Harvard University,
Suhana Bhatia is earning more laurels
for her illustrious political family.
By rising to the second-highest
diplomatic position in Great Britain,
Suhana is set to become India's
youngest Deputy High Commissioner.
Let's hear more about this from
India's Foreign Minister,
Manohar Rawal.
Sir, some say that nepotism
has played a major role
in her appointment
These news anchors talk
such rubbish!
Suhana's grandfather was
India's first UN Representative.
And her father has served
as our Ambassador to Korea,
Russia, and Germany.
Suhana, you have a flight to catch.
I'm sure Suhana Bhatia will
not just live up to her legacy,
but become one of
our finest IFS officers.
- Congratulations!
- Of course, of course!
So proud of you.
Hope for the best!
- On a different note
- Dhanraj, she is truly your daughter!
Our reports indicate that Pakistan
has agreed to extradite Yaseen Mirza.
Will Pakistan really go
through with this,
or is this just another ploy?
No matter how big the mistake,
everyone deserves a second chance.
What?
He's sent so many chocolates, messages
God, Ma, I can't believe you're
going on about this
Can't you forgive him?
By the way, all his stuff
lying in your room
- What do I do with that?
- What do you mean?
It's such a pain
to clean that mess
It's in my room,
you don't have to clean it.
Can you at least tell me
what happened between you two?
I really thought Shantanu would
rescue you from this Bhatia legacy.
- What do you mean by "Bhatia legacy"?
- Thank God, I escaped.
Dhanraj is my brother,
and I love him.
But he'll squander your life
for his legacy.
Auntie, I thought at least
you'd be proud of my promotion.
- I am proud!
- What is this, Mumma?
But pride doesn't get you through life.
Everything, every time
cannot be for the country
- Suhana, hurry up!
- There he goes again.
Let it be.
This father-daughter team
All they care about is work.
I surrender.
- I know you'll miss me, Mumma. It's okay.
- I know, my child.
- Come here. I'll miss you!
- Oh, so much love!
I'll miss you, my child.
Just say it.
You don't think I deserve
this position either, right?
No, it's not like that.
To get this post at your age
in a bureaucratic
organization like the IFS is
unusual.
I'm just
Didn't Rawal uncle tell you
how pleased he was
with my work in Kathmandu?
I'm not questioning your capabilities
or your achievements.
- Really?
- Yes, really!
I mean
Can you slow down?
If I go slow, you'll say,
"What's the use of all your privilege,
education, and opportunities
if you can't achieve twice
as much as everyone else?"
So you want me to lie to you?
No, I want you to
What?
I want you to believe in me.
Just a little bit.
Like Rawal uncle does,
like the Prime Minister does.
No matter how I got this position,
I will do full justice to it.
You should know that.
Please, my child.
Hey!
Jet lagged, Madam DHC?
Nights in London are an illusion.
The sun breaks for rest at nine
and is back at it by five.
Wait and watch.
It will be daylight
before we even reach home.
Could you turn off the AC, please?
The window's open.
Yes, madam.
Are you from Hyderabad?
You have a sharp ear!
I'm from Moghalpura.
Salim Sayeed.
And when did you join the Embassy?
I'm new to the Embassy,
but I know London in and out.
You're new to the city.
If you face any problem,
feel free to call me anytime.
By the way,
my wife makes excellent biryani.
- If you--
- All cities are the same, Salimji.
I'll be fine.
Of course, madam.
You are a senior officer
you must've traveled the world.
I was just
Take this.
Take care of ma'am.
Salimji?
Yes?
The next time your wife makes
biryani, could you get me some?
Certainly.
The thing is,
cities may all be the same
but one needs a friend in every city.
Of course, my child
Sorry.
Goodnight, Madam DHC.
Goodnight.
Did you speak to Shantanu?
Why?
I spotted him yesterday at
Mehta uncle's daughter's wedding.
He was with someone else.
- I almost went to speak to him--
- One second, Ma.
This outlet, is this right?
It's from the list
the Press Office sent us.
I know that,
but if I'm asking you,
I expect you to reconfirm it.
Yes?
Of course, Madam DHC.
Yes, Ma.
- You're so stern!
- Good morning, ma'am.
- Can't you be nice?
- Good morning, Madam DHC.
- Which one?
- Fine, if you can't forgive Shantanu
I have zero interest
in Shantanu's love life.
You can throw his stuff
out of my room as well.
Ma'am
Fine. Why should I care?
Go to your fancy Michelin
restaurants all alone.
By the way,
how's the weather?
- Is it cold?
- No, why?
- I'm coming over.
- One second.
There's only one way
to get you to settle down.
I don't want you to end up
like your father
married to your work.
Mumma, you need help. Bye.
Hello! Hello Su-
The entire Indian delegation
is extremely appreciative
of your time and effort, Minister,
in reaching this landmark deal.
Rubbish! All I did was
stay out of the way.
The real credit
goes to our aides.
Ladies, take a bow!
Thank you, sir, but manufacturing
Hydrogen Electrolyzers in India
to reduce costs
was entirely Suhana's idea.
- Good job, El!
- What did she say?
I guess you'll just have to take
Hindi lessons to find out.
Well, if it means more money
flowing into the UK,
cleaner air for our planet
What? I'm protesting.
She stole your position.
Bloody diplomats!
Let it go, Kutty.
We're RAW officers, man.
Why care about their promotions?
They don't want to
promote RAW officers, so be it!
But why her?
Who's this girl?
What does she have
other than her family name?
Number two of the UK Embassy?
More like number two in the toilet!
Hey, what's the name
of their minister?
Rawal?
I bet he's buddies with her dad.
How else would she--
She could be "buddies"
with him herself!
Must've charmed his pants off,
if you know what I mean
Namaskar!
I'm Elena.
You work for Suhana at the embassy?
Actually, we work for India
at the embassy.
Would any of you have a cigarette?
Madam, you're learning Hindi?
Very good.
But you know, India is much bigger
than North Indians alone.
Sebin is from Kerala
One of the most progressive
states in the South of India
with the highest literacy rate.
I think he's suggesting
you learn Malayalam as well.
Since India has many other
languages apart from Hindi.
Right?
Why not!
Imagine three women talking
like that about a male superior?
They would have been fired like
Yeah, but I don't want to
hurt their careers.
It's silly.
- Oh, my God.
- What?
He makes Japanese sound like Urdu.
So hot!
Calm down, Elena!
He's discussing wholesale
rates for vegetables
Hey
Mind your own business!
- That was bad!
- Very bad.
He's coming over.
Stop staring!
- Namaskar!
- Namaskar!
Konnichiwa.
What's your name?
I'm Elena.
And this is Suhana.
Suhana like a journey?
Oh, behave!
- She's your Deputy High Commissioner.
- Oh, pardon me.
I'll have the Old Fashioned, please.
- What would you like?
- A glass of Merlot, please.
In what language can
I get her to speak to me?
Try French?
Can I buy you a drink?
How do you know
so many languages?
- Success!
- You're welcome.
I'm Nakul Sharma.
What would you like?
- I'll have a Jack and Ginger, please.
- Jack and Ginger?
Why? Is that a problem?
No, I
Please charge him for his drink.
He's not with the embassy.
- It's on the house, Chef.
- Thank you, Steve.
Hang on.
Are you the chef here?
- No, we couldn't afford him.
- Why not?
- He's a Michelin-star chef.
- Thank you, Steve. Thank you.
I was, in Osaka
Let's see how it goes here.
Michelin chef!
Suhana's obsessed with
Michelin-star restaurants.
Really? Which ones?
You sound surprised?
It's just the Jack and Ginger
Jack and Ginger
is my dad's favorite drink.
So, what else does your dad like?
Move on.
Suhana!
Shit!
Thank you.
I'll just be back.
I've got 213.
I'm sorry if I overstepped in there.
It's just that
I'm new to this city, and
I felt like I needed a friend.
Shall we leave?
It's late, we should go home.
Let's dance the night away
Want to try the best clair in London?
You mean "Eclair"?
That's what I meant.
I've had London's best eclair.
Cafe de Sol.
Impossible!
Even King Charles can't
get a reservation there.
Well, I got one,
and I have the evidence.
I can show you the bill.
Why don't we go sometime?
Really?
A little hint of mischief
Take it all the way
This heart's a bit wild
Where's home for you?
For now, right here.
And where's your family?
No clue, I was twelve
when they abandoned me.
Let's dance the night away
Let's dance the night away
Don't hold back, let's get swayed
Let's dance the night away
Let's dance the night away
Let's dance the night away
Come a little closer
Read the signs in my eyes
In the curl of my lips
Lurks a smile I can't disguise
All we have is tonight
We may not get another day
A little hint of mischief
Come, take it all the way
Let's dance the night away
Let's dance the night away
Don't hold back, let's get swayed
Let's dance the night away
Let's dance the night away
Let's dance the night away
Let's dance the night away
Running cuts.
Let's dance the night away
Had to pick up some
friends from the airport.
I'm sure they'll quiz me about you.
So, if it's okay with you
Can I call you my girlfriend?
P.S. The band-aids are for your feet.
If your answer is no,
please send them back
They'll help heal
my broken heart.
And India is extremely grateful to France
not just for their cooperation,
but also their magnanimous contribution.
Soldier for soldier, to the
peacekeeping effort in Lebanon.
Thank you very much, Henri.
You're welcome.
Please.
Thank you!
- After you, Your Excellency.
- Excuse me, sir.
Guys, guys
Thank you so much for agreeing
to make the announcement
in London, Your Excellency.
New Delhi thought it would
help put more pressure
on Great Britain to participate.
You were very aggressive, Ms Bhatia.
You were right, but aggressive.
Thank you!
If you'd excuse me.
Stop gatecrashing our events,
you'll end up in jail!
I'm working, what are you doing?
Keep going
we haven't even undressed yet.
Let's keep it simple.
I don't want to overplay
this whole blackmail act.
The deal you guys announced
at the party that night
Hydrogen something
Whatever it was.
I need a copy of the deal.
My bosses want it, man.
They want to bid on it or something.
Get me the papers,
and I'll delete the video. I swear.
Personal guarantee.
Okay?
Su
Why are you looking
at me like that?
This is my job,
I'm a professional!
Oh, hello sir
So sorry, I'm here without
your permission, Your Majesty
Actually, I just got here from Delhi
Myself, Nakul Bhatia
Suhana's cousin!
I was in London, and I
couldn't resist stopping by.
Such a big day for us Bhatias.
It calls for celebration, right, sir?
Yes, of course.
And congratulations.
In fact, to the entire family.
The PM confirmed it last night.
Dhanraj uncle,
President of the UN!
India's representative to the UN.
Thank you very much,
Your Highness.
- Excuse me.
- Sir.
Hey, calm down!
Take a deep breath.
One, two, three, four, five
One, two, three
You get too stressed!
Look, I can imagine
how you're feeling.
But be a little rational, babe!
Do you really think
the guys who hired me are novices?
They've researched you completely.
How to embarrass you, your father
they have it all figured out.
You have 72 hours
to get me the papers.
It's a simple deal.
We're just trying to make a living!
Su
You'll manage, right?
If you're late by an hour or two,
I can handle it.
But after that,
I'll have to release the video.
See you.
By the way
Our 8:00 p.m. date is still on, right?
If you're in a bad mood,
we can reschedule.
And keep that video safe
You know me, I'm shy.
Breaking news in the world of diplomacy
A high-ranking Indian diplomat
has been caught spying
on behalf of an Indian.
An official at the UK high commission,
Suhana Bhatia was arrested last night
Senior Ambassador
Dhanraj Bhatia's daughter--
She was allegedly honey-trapped
on a corporate espionage assignment
related to a newly approved
Green Energy bill
that was signed
She claims she was blackmailed
by a corporate agent.
You have 72 hours
After that, I'll have
to release the video.
Oh, Suhana
Suhana.
Come in, he's almost done.
This Yaseen Mirza announcement
Is it just lip service,
or will Pakistan actually
extradite him?
The PM wants us to get
Yaseen Mirza to India anyhow.
And that's why we are
inviting Shahzad Alam
to our Independence Day Parade.
But Pakistan's Independence Day
is just a day before ours
Why would they send him here?
Exactly.
Well played, Rawal sir!
Very well played.
- Jai Hind.
- Jai Hind!
Good you came.
I need to have a word with you.
Explain this to me, because
honestly, this is beyond
my wildest comprehension.
I mean, after so many years
in an organization like the IFS,
if you still don't understand
the value of perception and discretion
Especially in this day and age,
when every single one of us
is under surveillance.
Do you think Rawal sir won't ask me
how this happened
right under my nose?
Unbelievable.
Have a look.
Go on.
Bloody Gujral in Edinburgh
He's liking porn tweets!
It barely takes a minute
for these screenshots
to go viral globally.
Won't this damage our country's image?
And our diplomatic standing?
Idiot!
Tell me
What should we do?
Fire him, sir.
This is a great PR opportunity.
It will be wasted if we hand over
Yaseen Mirza to India now.
But we've already promised India
that we will deport Yaseen Mirza.
That's the basis on which I was invited
to their Independence Day celebration.
We cannot risk the trust we are building.
Accept India's invitation right away.
When news spreads,
that you're going to attend
India's Independence Day
instead of your own
no one will doubt Pakistan's intentions.
If Yaseen Mirza could bring
India's secrets to us
he can also take our secrets back to them.
As your Defense Minister,
can't I get some time, Shahzad?
Do it very carefully.
Don't do anything
that weakens the trust
between our nations.
Have faith.
I'll handle it myself.
Okay.
Our prince will attend
your Independence Day party,
albeit empty-handed.
The ball is in your court now.
Follow the plan,
and you'll have nothing to worry about.
If you screw up,
I'll have Yaseen Mirza
show up at your front door.
Sorry, I didn't mean to
I didn't mean to
I won't take up much of your time,
Madam DHC.
I just came here to apologize.
What you heard
at the party that night
That was unprofessional.
You don't deserve that.
It's fine.
Thank you.
Jacob?
Yes, ma'am?
How do we conduct background checks?
If I need to do one
Ma'am
I can manage that for you.
But if I want to handle it myself?
You see, it's kind of personal.
So if I could do it unofficially
I'm sorry, ma'am, but
It will have to be done officially.
RAW protocol.
Of course, yeah.
Just escalate the application.
I'll compile all the files
and give them to you personally.
- If that works.
- Yes. Sounds good.
I think you dropped a paper here.
- Oh!
- Looks like
Thank you.
Papers flying everywhere!
Is everything okay?
Yes!
Anything else?
At your service, ma'am.
Biggest breaking news of the hour.
The foreign ministry just confirmed
that Senior Ambassador Dhanraj Bhatia
has been appointed as India's new
Permanent Representative to the UN.
Dhanraj Bhatia, a senior IFS official
will be replacing RK Ramaswamy,
India's current Permanent
Representative to the UN.
Bhatia is a graduate
of the 1975 IFS batch.
In his three-decade-long career,
he has held several
prominent positions
in countries including
Russia, Germany, and Pakistan.
Hi, Suhana!
The tenders from the green energy deal
we cracked with the Nashik company
Please speak in Hindi, Miss Bhatia.
Fine.
In the Hydrogen Electrolyzers deal,
has the tender from that
Nashik company been accepted?
Yes, the deal was signed
yesterday morning
and the first advance
has been processed as well.
Why?
Nothing, it's just
Can the deal be called off?
If another company were to
present a better offer?
No.
It's done.
Suhana
is there a problem?
As you may very well know
Paper?
Video.
It's an air-gapped drive.
The file's metadata,
and transfer history. It has everything.
You can have it checked.
Here, take it. Have fun.
I don't trust you.
Do you have another option?
The guys that hired you
They're idiots.
The deal has been signed.
MOUs, long-form, everything.
And you?
After being spotted at
all these embassy events
You think you'll get away with it?
Sweetie, I don't get paid to think.
I get paid to
Papers.
That look.
I know it!
You're judging me, Su!
Fine. Go ahead, judge me!
Everyone's so selfish,
no one gives a shit about Nakul.
Put yourself in my shoes,
then you'll know.
You think I enjoy this?
It's my job!
I'm a professional.
Embassy?
Is everything okay?
My child
In order to get help,
you need to ask for it.
Uncle, if I give you fingerprints
or handwriting samples, can you
You were in the police, right?
I can't route this through
the embassy or RAW officials.
Give me the data,
I'll get it done.
Sir
Looks like he's fallen
in love with Pakistan.
He doesn't want to go back to India.
I believe they're preparing
a grand farewell for him there?
Sadly
it will all go to waste.
No one understands the value
of Mirza Sahab's life
After all
he's at the heart of the plan.
Returning these works of art
to governments like India
will be a far grander gesture
to member nations of the Commonwealth.
Accordingly, if paragraph eleven,
point three, is modified,
India will have to abstain.
Steven Wilfred from the
UK High Commission here.
Conversations about returning
these works of art
are not something our governments
are even engaging in at the moment.
But we can look at discussing it when
there's a Commonwealth Nations meeting
at some point in Somalia next year.
This is about reversing
100 years of colonial history
and it's not something our government
Sachin, could you book me
- on the first flight to Delhi, please?
- Sure, ma'am.
Any flight today,
whichever reaches soonest.
Congratulations, ma'am. I read the news
about your father in the internal memos.
Thank you.
- Congratulations, ma'am.
- Thank you.
I'd like to make a booking for Madam DHC.
Uncle, any update on the fingerprints?
I'm on it.
By the time you're back from India,
I'll have all the information ready.
Let me know if you want
anything from Delhi,
- any masalas or something.
- I don't want anything.
- Let me get your bags.
- I'll get a trolley. Oh, sorry.
Give my regards to your father.
When will he visit?
Your phone's ringing.
Is there anything else in the car?
- Come, let me take this.
- No, I'll manage.
- You're sure?
- Yes.
Okay, bye.
Hello, Su!
Where are you running off to?
I got you a farewell gift.
Check the link!
And you thought
your Nakul was stupid.
Your photos weren't the best,
but they contained all the proof
those guys needed.
So?
So what?
The electrolyzers were made
to generate green energy.
What buyers do with it
cannot become India's responsibility.
You're too cute!
No one gives a shit, sweetie.
The whole world now thinks
India's secretly building a hydrogen bomb.
And Su, that sly fingerprints move?
Very naughty!
But why did you involve your driver?
Let the old man live in peace.
You could've just asked me!
I'd have sent you my biodata.
Are you ready? Here goes
Age, 40.
Birthplace, Lahore.
Marital status, single, ready to mingle!
And occupation?
Ready for it, Su?
You're listening, right?
Loyal guard-dog
of the Pakistani secret service.
ISI agent.
And my real name is
Mohammad Humayun Akhtar.
Now let's discuss
your next assignment.
I'd rather give my life
than cooperate with you.
But your life's already
in our hands, sweetie.
Go on, take a look.
These photos will look great
on the news, right?
Shut up
By the way, what's the punishment
for treason in India these days?
Shut up!
Eight
Page number eight.
Some numbers and details
are incorrect, but
this information was never in
our official press releases.
What's
What's the source for this intel?
Our man inside the ISI.
Our undercover agents informed us.
There could be a leak, sir.
We must investigate this, sir.
Before any critical information
is compromised--
Kamat, breathe.
You should have told them.
Your father has
such an important event.
How could you just cancel?
These embassy people, seriously
Uncle, I don't need you to trace
that fingerprint anymore.
Don't ask anyone, please.
The job's done.
I don't need it.
- Are you sure?
- Yes.
I'm sure.
The RAW undercover agents
hiding in our Islamabad Embassy
Get me their names.
I will not put anyone's life in danger.
What about your own?
Their careers will be finished.
And what about your dad's career?
Your father's appointment
ceremony is in 48 hours.
I want the names
before the ceremony begins.
You missed your flight?
Really?
That's not like you.
I'm sorry, Papa.
No, it's okay.
Because of the leak, I can imagine
how stressful things must be.
Suhana?
I
Perhaps you were right
about the IFS.
Maybe
I'm not ready for this.
Sorry.
"No matter how I got this position,
I will do full justice to it."
Isn't that what you said?
- Yes, Papa.
- Well, that's that!
It's time to prove your worth.
You're a Bhatia
Quitting is not an option.
Do you understand?
Yes, Papa.
Most people just have to choose
between right and wrong.
But in our line of work,
there are often
no right choices in sight.
Your job
is to identify the least harmful choice.
Do you get it?
- Yes, Papa.
- Good.
Now go make me proud.
Why read so many menus, if you're
just going to order butter chicken?
Watch it, bro
Not a word against butter chicken!
And where's your family?
No clue. I was twelve
when they abandoned me.
Jacob!
Thank God you're here.
The journalists attending
the art event tomorrow
I need to vet that list.
I can't seem to find it
Thank you.
Your father's appointment
ceremony is in 48 hours.
I want the names
before the ceremony begins.
RAW thinks there's a leak.
Why don't you ask
the Pakistani PM directly?
It will tell you how
genuine their friendship is.
You seem suspicious
about Pakistan's intentions
Sir, if their intentions were right,
they wouldn't keep delaying
Yaseen Mirza's extradition.
We should be cautious.
You already know, Dhanraj
Before the IFS,
when I was in Delhi Police
I was the one leading this case.
The way Yaseen Mirza escaped
from right under my nose--
Sir, keeping Yaseen Mirza
in police custody
wasn't your responsibility alone.
How many people can you convince?
I just want Yaseen Mirza
brought back to India.
And if Pakistan needs
a few more months, so be it.
Yes, sir.
I just hope
ISI isn't up to something here.
Did you get the names?
What happened?
Do it.
Kill me.
What happened, Suhana?
I'm a traitor.
Traitor, patriot
These are just words, Suhana.
Traps laid out by capitalists
that only people like us fall for.
Nations, borders
They're just lines drawn in the sand.
They mean nothing.
They do to me, Nakul.
My nation is my identity.
It's my--
Humayun.
Do you really believe
that everything you've done
has been for your country?
Yes, but you've taken
it all away from me!
Everything!
I can't even talk to my family.
Because of you
I am completely alone.
You've always been alone.
I've just freed you from this illusion.
You don't give a damn about me,
so just cut the bullshit.
And tell me what else you want.
I want to visit
Jamia Darbar Sharif.
I've heard there's solace
to be found there.
I need an Indian Visa.
I will submit the application
at the embassy tomorrow.
I'm sure you'll manage the rest.
Hi, sweetheart,
how are you?
We're missing you so much.
We're getting ready for
the appointment ceremony.
Talk to Dad.
Talk to her,
I'm making a video for her!
Hi, Suhana, how are you doing?
We wish you were here.
Sorry, just trying to put my shoes on!
God! You know how he is.
It's getting late. Let's go.
- Yeah.
- Dhanraj, get out of frame!
- We must be on time.
- Bye, my child.
- Love you.
- We're all waiting for you, Suhana.
- Come soon.
- Bye.
- What do you think you're doing?
- What are you doing?
- Excuse me!
- What's going on there?
What the hell have you done?
Can you cut that out?
Calm down.
- Calm down, brother.
- Take it easy!
Get your stuff. Let's go.
- Here, take this. Sorry.
- Is she alright?
Come on.
I was just taking a selfie!
Eighteen minutes ago
the black hawks
of our Defense Department
had to extract two of
our undercover agents
from a dingy street in Karachi.
That too, thanks to an anonymous tip!
First that Hydrogen Electrolyzer deal.
And now
the identity of our undercover officers.
Cover blown!
What's the point of my
heading the intelligence unit
if I don't get any
goddamned intelligence?
Sir, may I?
We've traced the anonymous tip
back to London.
All our answers are
in the UK High Commission.
We have to act now.
Jacob?
What the hell are you doing here?
What do you think you're doing?
I haven't even started yet!
Jacob, what is this?
Were all the government
perks not enough?
Is that why you
betrayed our country?
Yes.
I know.
Suhana Bhatia
Pakistani spy.
Enemy of the nation.
Traitor.
Ever since you asked me about
unofficial background checks
I've been tracking you.
Jacob, it's not what you think.
- I'm being blackmailed.
- So?
You think you're the first Indian officer
to be blackmailed?
Before I report you
I just want to know.
Who is your handler inside IFS?
Who gave you this post?
Was it Kazi?
- Jacob
- Who stands to benefit from your--
Before I report you,
I just want to know.
Who is your handler inside IFS?
Who stands to benefit from your--
You did this!
Because of you.
Suhana
Suhana
You don't have time.
Clean everything.
Everything.
Pay attention to every small detail.
I'll handle the rest.
Suhana Bhatia?
Can we speak upstairs?
- Excuse me?
- Deputy Prakash Kamat.
RAW wing.
That's my boss,
RAW Chief Sanjeev Bajpai.
Can I offer you something?
No, thank you.
Here.
Nice space you have here.
What a lovely view!
Clean everything.
Everything.
There's a mole in the London Embassy.
After the Hydrogen Electrolyzer
deal was leaked
two of our undercover officers
had their covers blown.
And last night
Did you know Jacob Tamang?
Yes.
He was killed in a
gas explosion last night.
But we think this is the work
of the same informant.
Arresting this informant has
become the agency's top priority.
Why are you telling me this?
Because sir wants you
to lead this investigation.
With all due respect, sir,
I'm not
I'm not qualified to do this job.
You have other RAW officers
embedded in the embassy.
Why not ask one
of them to investigate?
Actually, our chief suspect
happens to be a RAW agent.
And he will be expecting
another RAW officer
to carry out the investigation.
But he won't suspect you.
The element of surprise?
Who is your suspect?
Sebin Kutty.
Kutty used to work
at our Islamabad embassy.
His posting was terminated
due to operational insubordination.
That's probably when
the ISI recruited him.
He's a very sharp agent.
We can't afford a single mistake
if we want to catch him.
I'll have to take permission
from High Commissioner Kazi
He's already been briefed.
You're on the job
from this moment on, Ms Bhatia.
All the best.
All the best.
Gas leak?
Jacob?
Do they take us for morons?
Whatever happened
I don't know how,
but she's the one
behind this whole shit-mess.
Calm down, bro.
If you make accusations without proof,
you will be fired.
You think I give a shit?
From now on
I'll be tracking her every move.
Jacob was like my brother.
He worked so hard to get here.
Brother, he will be avenged.
Get this approved.
It should be ready by the
3:00 p.m. pickup slot tomorrow.
Okay.
And clear the second half of tomorrow.
Something personal has come up.
Shall I inform Salimji?
Do you need the car?
No.
Okay. Thank you.
- Here's your passport.
- Thank you.
Token number 82.
Hi, sir. Your name, please?
Nakul Sharma.
Here's your passport, sir.
Thank you.
Thank you.
- Hi, ma'am. Your name, please?
- Token number 83.
Hi.
What about my money?
Sorry, took a little longer.
If you face any problem,
feel free to call me anytime.
It's late.
We should go home.
To get help,
you need to ask for it.
But why did you involve your driver?
Let the old man live in peace.
Hello?
The visa I had issued yesterday
Nakul Sharma?
The passport has been picked up,
but cancel the visa.
Right now!
Shoot, shoot!
Slam dunk!
Suhana?
What's the matter?
I could have come to you
You called me your child, right?
Right?
Is this how you treat your daughter?
Suhana, calm down.
You still need me.
Suhana!
Suhana, enough.
Enough!
Stop!
You shouldn't have come here.
Salim.
Salim!
Where are my photos and videos?
Who has them?
Who do you work for in the ISI?
I don't work for the ISI
Stop lying, please!
They didn't want
the blame to fall on India.
That's why they made me do it.
What blame?
Blame for what?
Please tell me!
Who is Humayun?
Who is your boss, Salim?
Salim?
Salim?
Salim!
Salim!
Salim!
Deputy Prakash Kamat.
RAW wing.
No, no, no!
Please, don't. Please!
Quiet! Not a sound.
Trying to wipe out the proof?
No.
- Is that why you killed Jacob as well?
- No!
- What are you, man?
- Nothing. I'm being blackmailed.
And I just realized Salim
was part of their--
Shut up!
Is that what you told Jacob?
Always showing your innocent face
You think it'll work with me?
One minute, please give me one--
- Think it'll work with me?
- One second.
Just listen to me,
then shoot me if you want.
- I'm right here.
- What do you want to say?
Just hear me out for a second.
There are photos on that table.
Look at those photos, please.
Behind Salim
- Prakash Kamat.
- Exactly.
- So?
- When Kamat came to my house,
Salim pretended like
he didn't recognize him.
- There's a
- Hey!
I'm right here.
"Sanjeev Bajpai."
What is this?
I don't know,
but if we don't find out soon--
Shut up! There is no "we."
I still work for India.
Salim's laptop
There's a video on it.
Please watch it.
Move.
Collect all the evidence you can.
You'll need it.
Is Tango the same guy?
The one in the video?
What's wrong?
Are you hurting?
Fine, I'll go have some tea.
I'll take a break to smoke.
You want to cry, no?
Why don't you call your daddy?
Call him.
That's how it goes, right?
You make a mess
and idiots like me
are sent to clean it up.
Case status.
Prakash Kamat.
ISI informer.
Salim, your driver.
Dead.
The police will reach
his home any minute.
And I'm sure they'll pin that on you.
Of course, they'll pin--
Bajpai and Kamat came
to London to find the informant,
and you're their prime suspect.
They're not done using me yet.
What?
Unbelievable!
What did I do to deserve this?
What is wrong with you people?
And I'm the prime suspect?
Diplomats like you,
stay on your high horse
and people like me
have to pay the price!
You were right, Sebin.
Jacob was right.
This position was never really mine.
They knew everything about me,
about my father.
I got played.
Tango is a trained operative
and you're white-collar IFS.
You don't have field training.
Yes, you made a mistake,
but you're also a victim here.
Now, would you rather stay a victim,
or make things right?
Decide.
Separate the two, don't complicate it.
Salim said something before he died
That he doesn't work for the ISI.
That's what they always say,
so we don't harass their families.
Doesn't mean anything.
But he said something
About India getting blamed
Fine, let's assume
Salim didn't work for the ISI,
he worked for Prakash Kamat.
But why would he send
your photos to the RAW chief?
And, why? Just why the hell
am I the prime suspect in this?
I just entered this mess!
Prakash Kamat
- Sebin
- Brother!
Can you take a photo of us?
Sebin, why are you
giving him Salim's phone?
That's my evidence.
Dirty shoes do always smell.
- What?
- Dirty shoes do always smell.
Those who sin do go to hell.
- Have you lost it?
- Exactly. Thank you.
The more critical the information
the easier it is for people to believe it.
We have to follow ourselves.
Simple.
Whoa, whoa wait.
Here as in?
Kamat's in Delhi, right?
Didn't you cancel Tango's visa?
You don't know Tango.
If he wants to get to India
no one can stop him.
"I'll ask and tell you."
But who is he asking?
Sanjiv Bajpai is the RAW chief
Why would he work for the ISI?
And what's this Tango
of yours doing in Delhi?
Why did he ask for a visa
if he didn't need one?
What the hell is going on?
Sebin
What?
Independence day.
We're not going to
accomplish anything here.
If we want to stop him,
we have to go to Delhi.
How will you go to Delhi?
I'm sure your passport
has been flagged.
I'm a RAW agent, I'll manage.
Thanks, brother.
I'll ensure your family
gets what they need.
Can Tango's photo help us?
Does RAW have some tech that can
Ten points to IFS.
Sanjiv Bajpai is your suspect,
and you want me
to ask RAW for help?
Until this shit-mess is solved,
we are on our own.
We'll have to do this alone.
We have one lead
Prakash Kamat.
He's the answer to all our questions.
Send me Tango's picture.
I still have some friends.
Let me try.
Any other information
you can give me?
Height, five-eleven.
Light brown eyes
One second.
Want to try London's best clair?
You mean "eclair"?
He might be French-Canadian.
He's skilled at switching accents,
but the night I met him
he slipped up on a word.
Built in the 1800s,
during the Sikh period,
- Wow!
- Rawalpindi's greatest monument.
Please. excuse me.
I mean, sorry
Important call from
a very old friend.
Okay.
You take picture.
I take call.
Okay.
Dirty shoes do always smell.
Those who sin go to hell!
Greetings, Kutty Sahab!
Greetings, Hamid Sahab.
I'm sending you a photo.
Have a look.
Cell phone
And cash.
Hey!
Hey, you!
Until you get instructions
do nothing.
Good evening, sir!
What the hell is going on
in London, Kamat?
What happened, sir?
The UK authorities just informed Kazi.
When will you wake up?
Salim, Suhana Bhatia's driver,
was found dead in his apartment!
- Your investigator Suhana Bhatia
- Sir
Where is her investigation?
We don't have time for proof.
Tell her to bring Kutty in.
Right now!
Bloody hell
This is too much now.
Sir's not at home.
- Tell me something
- Yes?
There must be a terrace where
these wires can be accessed, right?
I'm checking for leaks.
When a pipe leaks,
the water pressure reduces
- Really?
- It's the same with internet speed.
Yes, I'm just checking.
Why don't you
go down and check?
Yeah, hold this.
Where did you get the idea
of tapping his house?
From him.
I'm giving him a taste
of his own medicine.
Don't they teach you
anything at RAW Academy?
I'll show you what they teach us.
It's done.
Give him a signal.
Give him a thumbs-up!
A little higher.
Higher!
Suhana, move your hand to the right.
Can you give a thumbs-up
with a different finger?
I'm just messing with you!
Come down.
Now we can control any device
that logs onto this Wi-Fi network.
That's what they teach us at RAW Academy.
Sure.
Who is he?
Actually, he's the one who teaches there.
I mean, he used to.
I was the class topper.
Well, almost.
Third from the top.
Where's the lock?
This lock was for your safety.
The enemy has eyes everywhere.
If they spot you, you're dead.
You think Kamat has another laptop?
The moment he accesses
the Wi-Fi, we'll know.
Tell me something.
You used my RAW terminal,
without my permission
to scan Tango's fingerprints?
Aren't you ashamed?
You should be ashamed.
How can a RAW officer
just leave his system unattended?
Bloody diplomats.
Always beating around the bush.
Bloody agents.
Always assuming that women
only get promoted through sex.
What?
Keeping your finger on the pulse?
Sebin He's on a call.
Sir, there is no update on Sebin Kutty.
But Suhana Bhatia's passport
has been stamped in Delhi.
Shall I send the file to Bajpai sir?
No, no. Any information on that
file should come only to me.
They know you're in Delhi.
I'm sure they're still
hunting me in London.
We have intel on Tango.
He's not an ISI agent.
He's a hired gun. Sniper.
You were right about the accent.
He's French-Canadian.
From Montreal.
But he has a different
name in our network.
David.
Hey.
Get some sleep.
You sleep.
I'll keep watch for a little longer.
Someone might call at night.
Do as you wish.
I'm not calling a doctor
if you fall sick.
Don't blame me then.
Hey.
What's Kamat up to?
He's sleeping.
Sebin!
- You never listen to anything--
- Ma, my ass is on fire here!
Yes, sir.
Don't worry, sir.
The Lion of Punjab
will get a 21-gun salute.
Tango won't miss the target.
"The Lion of Punjab
will get a 21-gun salute."
Tango is going to kill
The Lion of Punjab.
The Lion of Punjab.
Chief Minister of Punjab?
The Lion of Punjab.
But why target
the CM of Punjab?
What does Nakul have to do
with Punjab's politics?
The Lion of Punjab.
They aren't talking
about the Punjab CM.
They're planning to
kill Shahzad Alam.
The Prime Minister of Pakistan.
"The Lion of Punjab."
That's what the Pakistani media calls him!
But
But why has Tango
come to India to kill Alam?
It doesn't make any sense.
Because Shahzad Alam is in India.
But why would he skip Pakistan's
Independence Day to attend ours?
We have no time.
Our Independence Day
event is in 24 hours,
Alam is already in the country.
We must act now.
We have to stop Tango.
I want to visit
Jamia Darbar Sharif.
I've heard there's solace
to be found there.
Wait.
What?
While asking for the visa
Nakul told me he wants
to visit Jamia Darbar Sharif.
The attack will happen
at Jamia Darbar Sharif.
He must have said it
just to get a visa--
No, you don't know him.
He wants to destroy me.
He's toying with me.
He wants me to have
the information, and still be helpless
- against him.
- You're taking this too personally.
- Yes, I am.
- Why?
- Because it is personal!
- Why? Why is it personal?
Was what he did
to me not personal?
My identity, my choices,
he robbed me of everything!
He just made me his sacrificial lamb
Fine.
So what will the lamb do now?
Devour the tiger.
Alam's schedule.
We need Shahzad Alam's
diplomatic schedule.
If the attack is to happen
at the dargah,
- it must be somewhere on his schedule.
- Yeah.
- Sebin, where are you?
- Hello?
- Do me a favor.
- What?
Can you access the
Pakistani PM's Delhi schedule?
- Yeah, it's with me. Give me a moment.
- Quick!
Okay, so just check if
Jamia Sharif Darbar is on it.
Jamia Sharif Yes, it is!
At 10:30 am. He's on his way there.
Where are you, Sebin?
Listen to me. Hello?
Is he going to the dargah?
Yes.
In thirty minutes.
Whoever Kamat's boss is,
he must be very powerful.
He already knew that
Alam was coming to India.
How else could he have planned this?
That's why we're inviting Shahzad Alam
for our Independence Day Parade.
Rawal uncle made this plan
Because Pakistan was sending
Yaseen Mirza back to India.
- Yaseen Mirza?
- Yes.
The terrorist behind the Delhi blast?
Wasn't Rawal with
the Delhi Police before IFS?
Yes.
So was Kamat.
And Salim!
- Sebin
- You think it's a coincidence?
Wasn't there a rumor about Mirza?
That he bribed a Delhi cop to escape?
What if Rawal took the bribe?
Now if Yaseen Mirza returns to India
Rawal's position, reputation,
his entire life will be ruined, right?
It doesn't make sense.
Why would he take such a big
risk just to save his position?
And why would he get
me embroiled in all this?
I don't know.
I just know that if Pakistan's
Prime Minister is killed in India today
it could lead to war.
And the blame will fall
squarely on India.
There will be nothing we can do
- to stop the escalation.
- What?
- Yeah.
- Blame
They didn't want
the blame to fall on India.
That's why they made me do it.
That's what Salim said
before he died
That he did all this so
the blame doesn't fall on India.
Bullshit. They don't care
about the country.
But they care about themselves.
If the blame falls on Pakistan,
no one will ever suspect Rawal!
That's why they set me up, Sebin.
That's why they sent me to London.
They got Papa the UN posting
and lured me into this
Nakul-Humayun trap.
They created an entire paper trail
so they could prove that
I work for the ISI!
And this is all ISI's handiwork
not India's.
You can't go to the dargah.
They have all the proof
to nail you as the traitor.
- They'll shoot you at sight.
- Good.
They better.
The price of treason
can only be paid with life, Sebin.
Either your own or someone else's.
Please, come.
Welcome.
My grandparents told me
so many stories about this dargah.
I see.
Today, by allowing me to visit
this sacred place,
you've given me a chance to
honor my ancestral roots, Rawal Sahab.
You are the sky to my earth
You are my final destination
You're my greatest pursuit
Beloved, you took me in your fold
You are the sky to my earth
You are my final destination
PARKING SPODARGAH SHARIF
O Almighty, I come alive
Suhana!
O Almighty, I come alive
Touched by your divine light
O Almighty, I come alive
Move forward!
Hurry up!
Keep moving.
Come on, keep moving.
Put your hands up.
Move forward!
- Check everyone thoroughly.
- What's in your pocket?
Move forward!
How will he kill him
in such a crowded place?
He's a sniper, right?
Keep moving.
All he needs is a vantage point.
O Last Prophet
Finally we meet
Does this pain have no cure?
Does this pain have no cure?
Soothe me, open salvation's door
Soothe me, open salvation's door
In all my prayers today I yearn
Hold me close, O Holy One
Touched by your divine light
O Almighty, I come alive
Touched by your divine light
LEAK ALL THE PHOTOS AND VIDEOS
Imperfect as I am
Before you I stand
Sir, Kamat.
Sir, I just watched
all the photos and videos,
every bit of proof,
get deleted from my laptop.
What are you saying, Kamat?
Sir, we can do this another time.
No, wait for my instructions.
Sir, listen to me--
Hold me close, O Holy One
Touched by your divine light
O Almighty, I come alive
Touched by your divine light
- O Almighty, I come alive
- Suhana!
O Last Prophet
Finally we meet
Altaf, I'm aborting the mission.
I don't have the proof
to link it to ISI.
You'll have to do this on your own.
No, as long as the ISI
is with Shahzaad Alam,
it's impossible to do this in Pakistan.
Find a way
Otherwise, I'll pack Yaseen off
to Delhi tomorrow itself.
God be with you.
Imperfect as I am
Before you I stand
Imperfect as I am
Before you I stand
Test me or break me
But don't leave my hand
At long last my quest ends
Sebin!
How did you get in?
Doesn't matter.
- Sebin!
- Touched by your divine light
O Almighty, I come alive
Touched by your divine light
O Almighty, I come alive
O Last Prophet
Finally we meet
You are my ocean
You are my shore
You are my ocean
You are my shore
Beloved, I'm at your door
Touched by your divine light
O Almighty, I come alive
Touched by your divine light
O Almighty, I come alive
O Last Prophet
Finally we meet
You are my ocean
You are my shore
- You are my ocean
- Suhana!
You are my shore
Stop!
You are my ocean
You are my shore
Beloved, I'm at your door
In your thrall, mesmerized
O Almighty, I come alive
In your thrall, mesmerized
Suhana!
- Why are you chasing that woman?
- Suhana!
- In your thrall, mesmerized
- Hey, you, stop!
- O Almighty, I come alive
- Suhana!
In your thrall, mesmerized
O Almighty, I come alive
What have you done, Suhana?
Hi, David
Spoilt brat.
It pains me to watch you suffer.
Take this.
Your solace.
Su
Suhana!
Rawal?
Kamat? Rawal?
Yeah.
What's going on?
Barricade the area.
- Papa
- No.
I didn't know that
working for the IFS
could take such a heavy toll.
What you had to endure
was neither part of your job description
nor were you trained for it.
And you shouldn't--
It's my fault.
What kind of father am I
All of this was happening
And you couldn't confide in me?
And you did all this
just to safeguard my promotion?
- I'm sorry.
- No, I'm sorry.
No, Papa
Not about that.
Ever since I was a kid,
everything I've done
has been to make our family
So people would pat me on my back
and tell me that I'm worthy of you
That I truly am
Dhanraj Bhatia's daughter.
So stupid of me.
Your legacy isn't
your awards or achievements.
Your legacy is your service.
Service to the nation.
Which isn't affected by
me winning or losing.
As long as the nation wins.
Right?
Yes.
I'm sorry all this happened
because of my naivety.
But, I see it now
Please hold for the Prime Minister.
Jai Hind, Suhana.
Jai Hind, sir.
Are you okay?
Sorry.
Thanks to you,
Pakistan's Prime Minister
is returning home safely
to prevent a military coup in his country.
Thanks to you, their nuclear codes
won't fall into the wrong hands.
A terrorist like Yaseen Mirza
will be brought back to India.
A traitor like Manohar Rawal
will be ousted from our cabinet
And you're apologizing?
Instead of rewarding
your bravery with a medal,
we will unfortunately
have to keep it a secret
because of national security.
Do you understand?
Not really, sir.
You will, eventually.
Jai Hind, Suhana!
Jai Hind, sir.
I'm proud of you, my child.
Shall we go home?
Still hurting?
Sir
Ma'am will have to wait.
In the last 21 hours,
she's been questioned by
nine different agencies.
- Isn't that enough for you?
- Papa.
- Papa--
- Isn't that enough?!
Papa, it's fine.
I'll be fine.
I'm not going anywhere.
I'm right there, okay?
I'm right here.
Have you spoken to the Prime Minister?
Yes.
I'll come straight to the point.
Have you ever heard of Black Cat?
No.
Good.
We work hard to keep it that way.
It's a covert military unit.
Your intelligence, your endurance,
your knowledge of foreign affairs
and decision-making skills
can be an asset to us.
RAW Chief Bajpai has
recommended you personally.
Sorry, but I won't be
of much use to anyone right now.
No problem.
I'm sure whoever reads your file
will congratulate you,
but the reality is that
you've achieved nothing.
Tango's corpse
didn't even reach the morgue.
What?
He was abducted from our convoy.
He was a member of
Zulfikar Hashmi's network.
Zulfikar abducts children
of eight to ten years of age,
trains them strategically
and ruthlessly,
and uses them against government
agents and defense officers.
Extracting and selling
secrets is his trade.
He wanted to break you
Disable you.
And he's good at it.
So if you're broken
I don't blame you.
But if you still have
some fire left in you,
come meet me next week.
We work in the dark
we work out of sight,
and we will catch Hashmi.
One more thing.
This meeting never happened.
You can leave.
Dhanraj?
Let's go.
Move it!
Sir, Sebin.
I was with Suhana
I know, Mr. Kutty.
And if it were up to me,
the whole country
would know your name.
Thank you, sir.
Yeah.
Papa, one minute
Just
Take your time.
Sebin, did someone come to meet
Suhana
Not every black cat is unlucky.
Come along, come along
Come along, come along
We'll dance until the break of dawn
Let the rain thunder on
Time for talk is long gone
Don't look back, move beyond
My God is with me
Come along, come along
