ASHANSA ORPHANAGE
[clanging]
[melancholy music playing]
[school bell ringing]
[kids laughing and chattering]
[indistinct conversation]
[faint laughter]
[faint thud]
[Rahi] Chacko?
[sniffles] I missed you so much, Rahi.
Me too.
Where's your hair, man?
And what's this?
Marriage, my friend.
Marriage,
marriage can change anyone's life.
A wife, a house, a full-time job,
debts to pay and a boy.
Life took a complete 180, man.
I can't believe you tricked
a girl into saying yes.
[Chacko] Good to see you, brother.
[Rahi] I never thought I'd come back here.
Then Ludo messaged me about Honey.
I still can't believe it.
- And you have a daughter, too.
- Yeah.
I have a daughter.
And she's in danger.
[Chacko] It's a good thing
that we set a protocol
- and checked the portal weekly.
- [Rahi] Hmm.
Here's the plan. First, we should
Wait. Think.
It's like jumping back into the fire.
Are you sure?
[suspenseful music playing]
You are.
[Rahi] You don't have to come along,
you know.
[Chacko] Did I ask you?
Look, man, since we were boys,
we wanted one thing.
Family.
You did a 180, and now you have a family.
- Do you want to lose all that?
- I'm not gonna turn back.
You are part of my 180.
We are family.
- Let's go.
- Chacko, I'm being serious, just
If we go, we go together.
Or I'll smack you!
Topic over. End of discussion.
Honey sent you here
to pick up her daughter Maya, Right?
Yes, sir. Is Maya home?
Well, Maya is not her name.
Who are you?
[muffled gunshot]
[thud]
[suspenseful music playing]
[Nadia gasps softly]
[whispering] Uncle V.
One, two, three, four.
Five, six.
Seven, eight, nine.
[footsteps approaching]
[hinge creaking]
She's not here.
[pager beeping]
[Honey] No! No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
Shit! [grunts]
- [car honking]
- [Honey] Stop!
- Stop!
- [continues honking]
[Honey] Fuck off!
[Nadia breathing heavily]
Ah!
[breathing heavily]
[Nakul] KD bhaiya,
we couldn't find the girl.
But I'm sure she must
have left some clues.
We'll turn this whole house upside down.
I'm heading back to base.
Don't worry, I'll be there soon.
I'll wrap up things here first.
[Honey] Stop.
[panting] Stop.
Oh my God, are you all right?
- What happened to you?
- Scooter accident. Sorry.
My daughter is in danger.
- I need to get her.
- [both gasp]
[pager beeping]
[breathing heavily]
[Honey] Nadia.
Nadia?
[whisper-shouts] Nadia!
- [dog barking]
- Nadia?
Nadia?
Nadia!
Nadia.
[panting]
[yells] Nadia!
- Nadia?
- [dog barking]
[Nadia gasps]
[Honey] Nadia?
[Nadia] Honey!
[Honey] Nadia!
[panting] Are you okay?
- Are you okay?
- [Nadia] I got hurt.
[Telugu]
[English] You're fine. You're fine.
Okay?
Come on.
[Nadia] Honey, Uncle V.
He was not moving.
[opening theme music playing]
[worker] Sir, this is completely burned.
Should I throw it away?
No, No, it's okay.
But, sir, how will anyone eat this?
[Indian classical music
playing in background]
Baba, could you please tell me
about Project Talwar now?
I don't think you should hear this
on an empty stomach. Here, eat.
Thank you, Baba.
But you didn't need to cook all this.
Uh, Maaji's not home?
I thought I'd get to
finally meet her tonight.
- Let's wait for her.
- [Guru] She's gone out.
She's probably on her way back.
Baba, Project Talwar.
Imagine a tracking system, Rahi.
Capable of tracking anyone.
Heads of state, world leaders,
rival agencies, agents, us.
And not just these targets.
It's able to track every single person
they come in contact with.
Powerful, no?
Now imagine if this tracking system
were to end up in the wrong hands.
The targets will become puppets.
They'll do whatever you tell them.
Like, rigging an election to further your
own plans or influencing a military deal.
Basically, it's like
having the whole world
in the palm of your hand.
You get that?
Project Talwar is Zooni's
most important project.
That's why I have
my best agent on the job.
And what did my best agent do?
Got a civilian involved.
[Rahi] She's not a threat to us, Baba.
[Guru] How can you be sure?
I've known her for a while.
That's it?
Yeah, that's all, Baba. What else?
You're an agent, Rahi.
The only relationship
you should care about
is your relationship with this family.
Without respect, love is equal to?
Nothing.
Don't ever forget
where you're really from.
You'll avoid making mistakes.
What we are doing, son,
is very important.
Now, food's getting cold.
Eat the chicken. I marinated it first,
then I double fried it.
What? Don't like it?
It's good. Delicious.
- [Guru] Hmm.
- I haven't tried the cabbage.
- I also cooked the cabbage.
- [Rahi] Huh?
How did you make all this food?
[Maaji] Hello. Hi.
- Ah, Rahi.
- Maaji.
It's okay. It's okay.
God bless you.
- But you don't need to do all of this.
- [Guru] Of course he does.
His head's in the clouds.
He needs to come back to Earth.
- Come on, come on.
- Hey, it's okay, son.
Maaji, I'm so happy
that I finally get to meet you.
I've been here so much, but
you're never here.
I was starting to think
that maybe Baba dreamed you.
[both laugh]
Maybe he did, actually, who knows?
Very few people are fortunate enough
to be able to meet my wife.
Hmm?
You've gained this privilege, son.
Thank you, Baba.
- [Shaan] Can you zoom in a little?
- [man] Yes, sir.
[Zooni] Any luck?
[Shaan] There were four guys
and a honey trap.
The men were professionals,
not a single trace on any camera.
Watch this.
D'Souza's saying her name's Noorie.
I'm sure it's fake.
She's some small time actor
in Hindi films.
We'll catch her soon.
I know how important it is
to catch Vishwa.
First find this girl.
She'll lead us to the others,
including Vishwa.
[horse whinnies]
[enchanting music playing]
[indistinct conversation on TV]
[soft music playing]
[door opens]
[Savitri] Honey.
What are you doing here?
Let's go.
The curd rice is delicious.
- Try some.
- [young Honey] Mm-mm.
- [Savitri] Eat.
- Mm-mm.
Honey, eat.
Ah. My precious little girl.
[soft music playing]
[gunshot]
[young Honey yelps]
[gun cocks]
[gunshot]
[Seshadri] Princess, what are you doing?
[young Honey] Even I want to be like
Fearless Nadia.
[horse neighs]
[Seshadri] Princess, hurry up, dear.
The Raja will see you. Come on, hurry!
Go inside.
Here you go. But bring it back
in the morning before the tutor arrives.
- Okay?
- Don't worry.
I'll read it before dinner
and give it back to you, Anna.
[Telugu]
[English] You know what he'll do to you
if he finds you inside the palace.
[gasps]
[breathing heavily]
[gasps and groans]
[groaning]
[gasping]
[groaning]
- [Rahi] Honey. Wait, wait, wait.
- [Honey groaning]
- [Rahi] Easy, easy. Relax, relax.
- [Honey, Telugu]
- [Rahi, English] Just take it easy.
- [Honey gasps] Where am I?
[Rahi] You're with me.
[gasping] Bunny,
what happened to my face?
Nothing. Don't worry.
Just have some water, please.
[Honey groans] What happened?
- What happened, Bunny? [groans]
- Shh, Please, breathe, just breathe.
Breathe.
- You're gonna be fine.
- [sighs]
[breath shuddering]
[melancholy music playing]
[people laughing]
[snoring]
[snoring]
[grunting and choking]
[continues choking]
[music stops]
[Rahi] Honey.
I'm so sorry.
The life you've been living till now,
and whatever life
you wanted in the future,
you'll have to put it all behind you.
You'll have to give up your acting career.
That life's not safe anymore.
You're on their radar.
I have to erase every trace of you.
You have to vanish.
The Honey you once were,
she doesn't exist anymore.
It's too dangerous.
[birds chirping]
DIAMOND QUEEN
[Honey] I decide how I live my life.
Not you.
Honey, come on.
I can get you a new identity,
and a good job to go with it.
In fact, you can live anywhere in India.
Just name the place.
It's my duty to get you set up, Honey,
no matter where.
[lock snaps]
[metal creaks]
[Honey] Bunny, we've been friends
for a while, right?
Why haven't you ever shared
anything about yourself?
You want to tell me your story?
[Rahi sighs]
[Rahi] One day when I was a kid,
I was at a wedding with my parents
eating cassata ice cream.
Then a few thieves arrived.
- [gunshots]
- [people screaming]
And they started shooting.
[Rahi screaming]
My father was a police inspector.
He fought very bravely.
But during that shootout,
both my parents were killed.
All my father got was a damn medal.
And I was sent off to an orphanage.
Anyway, the moral of the story is,
I don't eat cassata ice cream anymore.
[chuckles]
I'm sorry.
Long fucking time ago.
- [gunshots]
- [scream echoes]
[Honey] I have a question.
What do you guys do?
Are you the good guys or the bad guys?
[Rahi] It's not that simple.
Either you are good or bad. Simple.
My mentor always says
that when a coin is flipped,
there's a winner and there's a loser.
You must always listen
to what your heart's saying
and do what you believe is right.
And according to what you believe,
are you doing what is right?
Just tell me that.
Every day that goes by,
there are new threats
that appear in the world,
and each day it gets more dangerous.
The problem is, everybody knows this.
But nobody does a damn thing.
All of these threats have to be stopped
before they get out of hand.
I believe what we are doing,
is extremely necessary.
How did you join this agency?
[Rahi sighs]
Baba, my mentor, my father.
[Guru] You were fighting
over this little thing?
Hmm?
If you want to fight, son,
fight for something big.
He was the one who recruited me.
And suddenly I felt that I mattered.
I can make a difference now.
My life really means something.
Doing stunts in films,
I enjoyed that a lot, that's my hobby.
But this work gives me real happiness.
A life with direction
is an extremely powerful thing.
[beeps]
[suspenseful music playing]
[Honey] Are you hungry?
You want to eat something?
Let's go through the play rules.
I remember them.
We go through them every night.
[Telugu]
[English] No arguing.
Who's after us?
Bad man.
And when bad men are chasing after you,
what do you do?
Grab the go-bag
and then make a run for it.
Then find one of the locations
on the safe place list and hide out.
[Tamil]
And then I page you.
[Honey, English]
What are the code words?
I'm tired, Honey.
Can we please talk about this later?
Nadia.
Code words?
Safe.
Play.
Help.
Okay. Okay.
Now go to sleep, please.
Or no cartoons in the morning. Okay?
All right. Good night.
Bye.
[keyboard clacking]
[suspenseful music playing]
[music intensifies]
- [Rahi] Chacko.
- [Chacko] Yeah? Got Honey's location?
[Rahi] No, but I have the coordinates
for a local base.
- [Chacko] So?
- [Rahi] If they captured Honey,
she must be there.
[Chacko] Okay. What now?
[Rahi] We go to Base 33.
[Chacko] You're gonna get us killed
someday.
Go.
[tense music playing]
[Rahi] Ludo. Ludo, you've been at it
for a while now.
- Did you extract the data from the device?
- It's an 8 GB file.
Gigabyte, not megabyte. You know gigabyte?
1,024 megabytes is one
Let me simplify it for you.
To sort through all the data,
we had to order 20 CPUs
just to import the whole thing.
- And then we'll get the data?
- We'll have to decrypt it first.
And then we'll get it?
We don't have
the technology here to decrypt it.
But it's tech, so I'll think of something.
I just need time.
We don't have any time.
You know that damn well.
You do whatever you want. I don't care.
You have till tonight.
I want that fucking data.
Yeah, "I want, I want" is not gonna
make it magically appear, okay?
You do what you want, I'll do what
[Rahi] Honey?
- [keys jingling]
- I've got a surprise for you.
What?
[Rahi] Let me see your face.
Much better.
- Okay, what?
- Uh-uh, over there.
Come on, sit, sit.
[chuckles] Here we go.
[Honey chuckles] Where did you find this?
- I'm an agent.
- [gunshot on TV]
[bollywood music playing on TV]
That's you in the white top.
Me! Me, me, me.
- [blows whistle]
- [Honey laughs]
[actor on TV, Hindi]
You? You?
- Uh-huh.
- [chuckling] You?
[Rahi] I was the hero's stuntman.
World's best stuntman
of India. [chuckles]
[actor on TV, Hindi]
[shouting, Hindi]
[gunshot]
[Rahi laughing]
What?
Man.
You guys don't know how to die.
- What do you mean?
- I mean, what was that?
Psht! Ugh! Mmm.
- What?
- Yeah.
No one dies like that. It looks so fake.
I'll show you how to die.
You pull the trigger. Come on.
- Fine.
- [Rahi] Hmm?
Okay, ready? Shoot.
[mimicking gunshot]
- [laughs] One more time, one more time.
- [Rahi] Okay.
Now, uh, rifle.
[Honey] Okay.
- [mimics gunshot]
- [Rahi groans]
[Honey laughing]
- Are you okay?
- I'm fine.
- Now it's your turn. Hmm?
- Fine.
- [mimicking gunshot]
- [Honey groans]
Much better. That was way more natural.
Now I'll show you how to go
full movie mode, so get ready.
- [mimicking gunshots]
- [Rahi groans]
[grunting]
I'm telling you
some heartfelt confessions.
[weakly] I'm making vows and promises.
I'm saying I'd like
to meet you in the next life.
[grunting] And then
- [faint groan]
- [thuds]
[exhales]
But in real life, you get shot, game over.
Now the climax scene.
I have to save the heroine.
A hero is not a hero
if he doesn't
save the heroine before he dies.
I'm the heroine.
- Help me.
- Okay.
No! [mimicking gunshots]
Aah!
[Honey sighs]
You saved my life
by putting your own life at risk.
I would die a thousand times
to save your life
even once, Honey. [grunts]
No, Bunny. No!
[weakly] This cruel world prevented us
from being with each other.
But in our next life,
we'll be together, Honey.
I know it.
[Honey] Mmm. [mimics kissing]
Who kisses like that?
That's how they do it in the movies.
This isn't a movie.
[mellow music playing]
[waves splashing]
[kisses]
I want to be an agent too.
[intriguing music playing]
I thought about it all night.
I left home
so I could make my dreams a reality.
That was the whole reason
I went to Bombay.
Those dreams, that reality,
it was a total flop.
I did everything I could possibly do
just to survive.
What What am I doing, Bunny?
What am I even doing with my life?
- Honey, being an agent isn't easy.
- But it has purpose.
- Yes
- It has meaning.
Just think about it. I almost died.
But I'm alive. I'm still here.
I got a second chance
and I'm not wasting it,
because my life should also have meaning.
I have to do this.
I have to prove it to myself.
The first time you tried, you got shot.
- Next time, who knows
- Well, if you can do it, I can do it.
It'll be completely unexpected.
I can hide. I can escape.
I can withstand pain.
I can learn anything.
I can fight my tears, I can fight back.
I can survive, Bunny.
I always survive.
I'm one of a kind. I know it.
You wrote your own dialog?
That's why it's so good, right?
[sighs]
Please, Bunny.
I need this in my life,
and you need someone like me.
Please.
[dramatic music playing]
[Guru] So you want a mediocre actress
to become a part of our family?
She's not mediocre at all.
She's an amateur, but she engaged D'souza.
When we couldn't find the disk,
she took the initiative
to go into his room.
Despite being caught and almost killed,
she completed the mission,
and all this without exposing us.
I've known her for a while now,
and I've always felt that
whatever happened
in her life up to this point
has prepared her to become an agent.
I think she's the one, Baba.
- We need her on our team.
- [Guru] Hmm.
Well, you clearly seem
to see something in her.
- But if you fuck up
- Baba, that won't happen.
- I'll be responsible for her.
- As I said
If you fuck up
[Rahi] Show me your stance. No.
Here. Always, guard up,
for the block. Yeah.
[enthralling music playing]
[Ludo] It looks like a shoe,
but it's a GPS tracker.
I made it.
Compact?
- [device beeping]
- Morse code.
I made it.
Don't touch.
As I was saying, lipstick? No.
Micro glass cutter.
[Rahi] Stop, stop, stop.
Your center of balance is in your core.
Right here.
[thudding]
- Faster.
- [thudding]
[Chacko] Go!
And that screw?
Forty-two seconds.
Too slow.
[Honey grunting]
[grunts]
[grunts]
[groans]
Remember, you'll be facing men
double your height
and double your weight in the field.
You've got to make yourself so powerful
that pain can never keep you down.
Come on.
[Chacko] Five
four
three
two, one.
Time's up.
[Ludo] The data recovered
from David's disk was heavily encrypted.
I recovered small batches
of data from wherever I could.
And from the data that emerged,
it was obvious that it needed
a creative mind to handle it
- and analyze the
- We all know that, Ludo. You're a genius.
Come on, continue.
Thank you, Baba.
Then I cross-checked the data
with all the databases we have,
and I got this man's name.
[dramatic music playing]
- Raghu?
- [Ludo] Yes, Baba. Dr. Raghu Rao.
He was based in the US,
and many people tried
to get him back to India,
including yourself, Baba,
but everybody failed.
Looks like Zooni
has finally managed to do it.
They founded an IT company in Bangalore.
It's called UA Tech.
It looks like your average IT company,
but if you look closely,
you'll find that it's heavily fortified
with a massive amount of security.
Just like a fortress.
So UA Tech is a front, is it?
Yes, Baba. They have a secret wing
where a very well-funded
and highly covert mission
is being carried out.
- And the project's name is
- Project Talwar.
What stage is Project Talwar at?
According to the data,
a very advanced stage.
Do not underestimate Dr. Raghu.
I want him
under 24-hour surveillance immediately.
We cannot let
Project Talwar always succeed.
What's their plan? What's their next move?
Find that out.
[gunshot]
[Rahi] Look at my stance.
My grip, my legs.
And don't hold the gun too tight.
Both hands. Yeah.
First the safety,
and when you wanna shoot, the trigger.
Now, aim. Try.
[gunshot]
Try again. Stronger now.
[gunshot]
Can I just do it my way?
[gunshots]
[gunshot]
Beginner's luck.
[gunshots]
Where'd you learn that?
I told you my father had a lot of guns.
He never let me touch them.
That's exactly why I had to learn.
- Was your father a gangster?
- [scoffs] Almost.
[knife slicing]
[enthralling music playing]
[Honey grunting]
[both grunting]
[Honey panting]
[Honey groans]
Never let your guard down.
[Rahi] Hey.
I see. So this is how it's going to be.
No love, no lovingly covering me up.
Don't forget, I'm your trainer. Hmm?
But I'm a trainer with benefits.
[both laughing]
- Gross. [laughs]
- Why gross? [chuckles]
For the last three months,
we've been monitoring
Dr. Raghu Rao and UA Tech.
We did everything we could
to obtain information on them.
Dr. Raghu Rao is going to Belgrade
next week for a conference.
On predictive analysis
and satellite technology.
But according to our info,
Dr. Raghu Rao
hasn't gone anywhere in years.
So why now? And just for a conference?
My thinking is Project Talwar
still isn't quite complete.
It's missing a critical piece.
- Code name Armada.
- [Rahi] This conference is a cover.
And this trip is
really about this missing link.
I think we go to Belgrade to investigate.
Be careful.
Zooni's team
will be swarming all over the place.
Finalize a plan
and let me know. Dismissed.
[enthralling music playing]
Twenty-two seconds.
Wow.
Nine, eight,
seven, six,
five
You're done?
[knife slicing]
[both grunting]
- [thuds]
- [Honey grunts]
Are you okay?
- [thuds]
- [both grunt]
[chuckles]
Don't ever let your guard down.
Do you think it'll work?
[Rahi] It's possible.
[Chacko] Hmm.
Do you remember your new profile?
There's zero margin for error.
Madhavi Kumar. Born in Tirupati.
Mother, Pallavi, gynecologist.
Father, Charan, veterinary surgeon.
Two brothers, Viraj and Vijay
at Oxford Law.
Not many friends.
I once had a pet. It was a rabbit,
which my brother killed by accident.
Then after that, no more pets.
[Ludo] Hmm.
Did you get the brief?
Yes, sir.
- [Guru] Do you know your job?
- Y-Yes, sir.
Let me be frank.
There has never been a woman
who's worked for our agency.
Do you know why?
[tense music playing]
Because I don't trust women.
You could become a burden.
A liability.
This is not a nice place for a woman.
I know.
You're not just any other woman.
You were about to say that.
I'll work twice as hard as any man
- sir.
- That's just the baseline.
No?
Rahi, until this girl proves herself,
I want her strictly
on a need-to-know basis.
Use her as a honey trap. Nothing else.
[Rahi] Baba, I won't let you down.
She's not going to mess up.
And what if she does?
- Hmm?
- Baba
I'll throw you right back
in the exact same gutter
that I pulled you out of.
[man] Nakul!
[intense music playing]
Brother, check this out.
[knocks on table]
[phone ringing]
Brother, we found
property papers in the house.
The address isn't the same.
It's around 200 kilometers from here.
It might be her safe house.
- [KD] Hmm.
- I'll see if she's there.
Then I'll capture her.
[device beeps]
[device beeping rapidly]
[beeping stops]
[intense music playing]
[breath trembling]
[Chacko and Rahi panting]
[Rahi] Three agents
and three security cameras
at the entrance.
We don't know how many are inside.
But no worries.
We'll take care of them.
We have done this before.
We have to be careful.
If Honey's here,
our priority is saving her.
Don't forget
you're Predator.
You're Terminator.
[indistinct conversation]
[static]
- [muffled gunshots]
- [all yelping]
[Chacko] Come on, let's get to work.
We need to hide the body.
The front entrance cameras are down.
- Go check it out.
- [man 1] Yes, sir.
[man 2 over radio] All units come in.
- Check the perimeter.
- Copy.
[shoots]
[man 2] All units come in.
What's the status?
[grunts]
[man 2 straining]
You go that way, I'll go this way.
Just be careful, okay?
Rahi, meet me back here in one minute.
- The team must be coming back.
- Got it.
[intense music playing]
[panting]
[Chacko] It's a good thing in a way.
This means they are safe somewhere else.
Let's get out of here.
Let's go.
Rahi, don't do this, man.
We have to leave.
Just fucking look!
I'm sure we'll find something.
You'll get us killed.
[objects clattering]
[device beeping]
Chacko, coordinates.
Maybe this is where Honey is.
They sent these coordinates
to their whole team.
Take a look.
[gun firing]
[gunshots]
Chacko!

Goodbye, KD.

We have to get there fast.
