[bird chirping]
[tense music playing]
[breathing heavily]
[breathing heavily]
What's wrong? Are you okay?
Will those bad men find us here, Honey?
What?
[tense music playing]
[Nadia sobbing]
What happened?
Why are you crying?
Uncle V, we'll never see him again right?
I know you're sad. I'm sad, too.
But we really had to get out of there.
You know that, right?
But Uncle V was lying there on the floor.
All alone. He's dead, right?
I feel very sad. I can't help it.
But you always say that,
"Crying makes us weak."
[sobbing]
Okay.
For two minutes you can cry.
[Nadia sobbing]
But after that wipe your tears,
and wash your face, okay?
Would you like to pray for him?
[Nadia sobs]
[somber music playing]
Dear, God. Please take care of Uncle V.
He makes the best pastries.
If you let him have
a really nice restaurant up in heaven,
I'm sure Uncle V will
happily make you a bunch
of different pastries each and every day.
God, promise me.
- [sighs] Okay?
- [sobs, exhales]
[exhales sharply]
Go.
- Should I drive?
- No.
What do you think?
Is he dead or alive? KD?
No idea.
If you don't slow down, we'll be dead.
[tires screeching]
[tense music playing]
[brakes squealing]
[Honey] Are you hungry?
- Noodles?
- Okay.
Almost ready.
I really want to learn
how to shoot, Honey.
I want to fight bad people.
[Honey] After you grow up, you can learn.
- [Nadia] Promise?
- Promise.
I'm gonna learn to fight on my own
if you break your promise, you know?
[device beeping]
Nadia.
[breathes sharply] Play.
[beeping continues]
[tense music playing]
- We need her alive.
- Got it.
In.
- Honey, are bad men coming?
- Yes.
- Bad men are coming. But you are?
- Brave and fearless.
- And I am?
- My mother.
And you won't let anything happen to me.
Listen to this song and don't come out.
- Okay?
- Uh-huh.

[Nakul] Hello?
- Hello?
- Nakul.
Bhaiyya, I was
I was just about to call you.
[KD] Did you get her?
No. She got away.
- [dramatic music playing]
- [KD sighs]
[Nakul] I'm sorry, bhaiyya.
- Where are you? At the base.
- It's destroyed.
- That deserter is back.
- Who?
[groans] Rahi.
[tense music playing]
[Nakul] So what's the plan now?
Come back and see me
at the Mumbai headquarters.
[music fades]
- [tracker beeping]
- Here take a left.
- [Rahi] Okay.
- Slow down.
[tense music playing]
[birds squawking]
It looks like she left in a hurry.
Yeah, after taking out four people.
Five, not four. One's in the woods.
Honey took all these guys down on her own.
Hmm. I'm not surprised.
I mean, look who trained her.
But this is not the same Honey, I trained.
[dark music playing]
[birds squawking]
[techno music playing]
[Rahi] We know that Dr. Raghu is
attending a conference
that has something to do
with Project Talwar.
Chacko and I have been
tracking Dr. Raghu for a while now,
and we know that
Zooni's agents are everywhere,
keeping a close eye on him.
He's definitely going to meet Zooni,
and before he does,
we need to find him, and bug him.
So, Honey. You're up.
[upbeat music playing]
[Honey] I see him.
All the best, Madhavi Kumar. Surprise me.
Good luck, Honey.
[indistinct chattering]
[Honey through intercom]
Dr. Raghu sure looks surprised.
Hmm. Good. Proceed.
I do that with my coffee too?
Otherwise, it gets too strong.
Yeah.
It's an honor to meet you, Dr. Raghu.
I must say, you are the reason
I'm here in Belgrade.
- Oh, really? [chuckles]
- Mmm-hmm.
[Dr. Raghu chuckles]
My name is Madhavi Kumar.
Research fellow
in the University of Geneva.
Design Engineering.
I've been thinking of attending
this conference for a while now.
But when I saw your name
on the list this year,
I knew I just had to come.
Thank you. [chuckles]
Uh, I'm sorry. I kept staring at you.
Please don't misunderstand me.
I know someone who looks just like you.
You're really so similar.
Really? Who?
Charu, my wife.
Uh, or ex?
We are separated now.
- We do look similar. [chuckles]
- We were at MIT together.
A brilliant mind.
One of the best in the world.
- Hello, Dr. Raghu.
- Hi, Sasha.
- How are you?
- [Sasha] I'm good. I'm good.
- Uh, I'm looking forward to your talk.
- [spoon clanks on the floor]
- I'll get it. I'll get it.
- [Dr. Raghu] Oh, okay.
Uh, yeah. Thank you very much.
You know, last year, your speech
in Moscow was insightful.
I'll definitely make sure
I come to your talk.
- [Sasha] Thank you. Sure.
- Yeah.
Please come. Okay, yeah. See you later.
- Thank you.
- See you.
It was lovely meeting you, Doctor.
- I hope to see you again soon.
- Thank you.
- [Honey] Bug in place.
- [Rahi] Good job.
Just like I told you. Simple and easy.
Ludo, check the bug.
[Ludo] The bug is working loud and clear.
[sighs, exhales]
[disturbing music playing]
- [car honking]
- [tires screeching]
[Nadia] Honey!
[Honey breathing heavily]
[Nadia] Should we go see a doctor?
No, Nadia.
How did you learn
to fight like that, Honey?
I was like police officer years ago.
- You were in the police?
- Yes.
But I thought you told me
you were an actress.
[exhales] Yes, but I worked
for the police also.
If it's too painful to speak,
then please don't, okay?
- Nadia.
- Don't speak.
Can I rest for a while?
[brakes squealing]
Only for a while. Driving will be
a lot easier after this.
[sighs]
- Nadia?
- Yes?
- Promise me.
- What?
That you will not get out of the car.
- Okay.
- Under any circumstance.
Okay.
Nadia, promise.
Okay, okay, Honey. I promise.
You can have candy, but just one.
- Just sleep now.
- Just for a little while.
[shopkeeper] Thirteen rupees.
Bottled water.
- It's right over there.
- Hmm.
- [indistinct chattering]
- [temple bell rings]
[man chanting hymns in distance]
Chacko, paracetamol and antibiotics.
Thank you.
[somber music playing]
[ukelele playing gently]
[man singing, Hindi]
It's dirty. I have to clean it.
It will get infected, otherwise.
I know. I promised
I wouldn't get out of the car.
But who do I ask, or what should I do?
I think I've to decide for myself, right?
- Get some rest.
- [car door opens]
- I'll be back in ten minutes.
- [man singing, Hindi]
[car door shuts]
[man singing, Hindi]
Nadia.
[man singing, Hindi]
[exhales]
Shall we?
[mellow Hindi song playing]
[engine starts]
Hi, sir.
I need medicine to treat a wound.
A packet of cotton,
a packet of glucose powder,
a strip of Paracetamol,
a tube of Soframycin and six bandages.
Okay.
[groaning]
Nadia?
Nadia!
[tense music playing]
Nadia! Nadia!
[watch beeps]
[Honey] Nadia! Nadia, get in.
[indistinct chatter]
[suspenseful music playing]
[Honey] He entered the glass building.
Number Ten.
And Zooni's agents
are standing guard outside.
[Ludo] Hmm.
It's showing that it's registered
under some shipping company.
Balkan SC.
Checking Balkan SC's financial activity.
There's no activity, man.
It's definitely a front.
Zooni.
Yes, she's expecting you.
- [microphone feedback]
- There's no audio, man.
What do you mean, "no audio"?
There's no signal. That's what I mean.
I can't hear anything.
Hey, stop, stop, stop.
Go back. Go back a little.
Back up a little. Back up.
Back up. Stop, stop, stop.
No, no, no. Go back. Go back.
Back, back, back.
Stop, stop, stop, stop!
I got it, I got it.
- Stop.
- Your bug is a piece of shit.
You see those concrete structures, man?
They're blocking the sound waves.
Piece of shit my ass.
Hi, Zooni.
- Hello, Dr. Raghu.
- [Dr. Raghu] Yeah.
- Doctor.
- Hi, Shaan.
[Ludo] Come in, come in. Close the door.
[Zooni over speaker]
It's been a while, hasn't it?
[Dr. Raghu] I know your agents
have been following me
watching my every move, right?
Fine.
I allowed it. Now just back off.
Sir, this for your protection.
We're just being careful, Dr. Raghu.
Tomorrow's meeting is very important
for all of us, and know that
It's a personal meeting
between me and my friend.
[Zooni] I know you two
were colleagues at MI
and that he's doing this
for you as a favor.
[Dr. Raghu] No, no.
You don't know how paranoid he is.
This is not just a favor.
He's putting his life at risk.
So now, I am handling
this whole thing my way, please.
Sir, we just want to confirm
that your friend will be there.
Did he mention when and where
he's going to be meeting you?
He hasn't told me that yet.
He said someone will contact me.
That's why I'm telling you people
to back off.
If he spots even one of your agents,
he will disappear.
Damn it.
[Rahi] We need to figure out
when and where
Dr. Raghu is meeting his friends.
[Honey] I could meet Doctor Raghu
at the conference again.
I can try to get that information.
Okay.
- And will you need backup?
- [Rahi] No.
Zooni's agents won't go anywhere
near Dr. Raghu after his warning today.
We have to use this to our advantage.
We might get exposed
if we are seen around too much.
[Dr. Raghu] The future is bright.
I know it sounds outlandish.
These days, terrorism is the new normal
and the threat of a nuclear war
is looming.
Newer and more terrifying weapons
are being developed
around the world right now.
But my dream is to make the world
a safer place with the right technology.
After years of building
and developing technology,
I have come to a simple conclusion.
Information is the weapon of the future.
In the right hands, it can help build
a safe and peaceful world.
That's why I say
the future is bright.
I believe, using satellite
monitoring technology, we can
- [indistinct chatter]
- [clapping]
[clears throat]
[man] Dr. Raghu.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Rahi over comms] Honey,
Dr. Raghu who received information.
Someone just gave him a card.
You need to get that card. Find a way.
- Your hot water, ma'am.
- Yes. Thank you.
Here's your coffee, sir.
- Exactly how you and I like it.
- Ah.
Thank you.
I enjoyed your talk.
I'm so glad I was able to make it.
[over comms]
I wouldn't have missed it for anything.
[Dr. Raghu] Madhavi, right?
- Yes.
- Where are you from?
Uh, originally from Tirupati. And you?
Uh, I'm from Bangalore. Malleshwaram.
Actually, um, I have a few questions.
Could, uh, we talk
if you have a little free time?
Maybe over lunch?
Offer a South Indian lunch.
Huh?
I know this really good
South Indian restaurant.
I'm sure you must be
missing food from home.
Indian food in Belgrade?
Hm. Pure vegetarian, too.
Ludo, any South Indian joints?
- There's no way.
- You must be joking.
- That's impossible.
- [chuckles nervously]
[Rahi over comms] Ludo, at least try.
What am I, a god?
Okay, okay.
So South Indian restaurant is out.
Still, we can arrange
for South Indian food, right?
Actually, maybe I exaggerated a little.
Not not a South Indian restaurant,
but definitely South Indian food.
Impossible.
I'm not God, but I'm definitely an angel.
Bet?
And if I win, what's the reward?
- The lunch is on me.
- Just tell him
[over comms] "Lepo Leto in 30 minutes."
Okay. I'll see you
at Lepo Leto in half an hour.
Mm-hmm.
[indistinct chatter]
[Chacko over comms]
Dr. Raghu who has left the conference.
[Rahi over comms]
Zooni's agents are following him.
We need to distract them.
[agent] Don't get too close.
[Ludo] Ready for a collision?
Crash into me, now, now, now.
[tires screeching]
- [horns honking]
- [agent] What the hell is happening?
- [horns honking]
- You cut me off!
- You cut me off!
- I cut you off?
I cut you off?
[agent] Get off the road, you asshole!
Left, left. Go left.
[Chacko] You cut me off! What the fuck?
[agent] Move, move, move!
- [Chacko] No, you did. No, no!
- [Ludo] Are you crazy?
- We're not in India right now, man!
- I was doing this!
What the hell does even mean?
You have a turn signal.
- Your mom's a bitch.
- Your mom's a bitch.
- Where are you from, jackass?
- I'm from Delhi, asshole.
I'm from Bombay, you motherfucker!
What you gonna do about it?
- Kick your damn ass!
- [agent] Fucking idiots.
[Ludo] Is he driving now?
- Are they gone yet?
- No!
- Then keep fighting!
- That's what I'm doing!
- So start hitting me!
- [Chacko] Hey, you! Shut up!
- [Ludo] You shut up!
- [Chacko] Do we keep talking?
- So you'll keep talking?
- [Ludo] I will talk.
[Chacko] Okay, I'll keep talking, too!
[driver] Move back, move back.
[agent] Come on, go left!
- Left, left, left, left.
- [Ludo] I'm gonna kick your
- Is he gone?
- Yeah.
Oh, thank God. My throat's dry.
- [Chacko] Let's go.
- Yeah.
[agent] Shit. We've lost the doctor.
- Inform command.
- [agent 2] Okay.
- [indistinct chatter]
- [mellow music playing]
Hi.
- May I?
- Yes, please.
[exhales]
We'll get Indian food here?
You'll see.
Are you ready for your order, ma'am?
Um, just tell the chef Dr. Raghu's here,
thank you.
Excuse me, who?
Dr. Raghu.
He knows.
Okay.
You know Viswanathan Anand?
The chess champ?
- Of course.
- Yeah.
He's India's pride.
So I researched it and found out
that when he's in Belgrade, he comes here.
- Oh.
- For authentic South Indian food.
Oh, that's nice.
And the chef here makes
amazing South Indian food.
[Honey chuckles]
But only upon special request.
So I made a call and requested
a special meal that's just for us.
What did you ask him to make?
- Uh
- I'm a little curious.
Um, nothing exotic.
Just basic South Indian food.
Basic South Indian food is the best.
Yes, yes, it is.
- Yes.
- And for him.
- Sure.
- Okay.
Thank you.
- Oh.
- Enjoy.
Thank you.
Thoughtful of you.
I wish we could get
this kind of food every day.
- I can arrange it.
- No, please.
I don't want to impose on it.
- It wouldn't be an imposition at all, sir.
- [Ludo clears throat]
Sir, if I may ask you a question.
Please.
What exactly did you mean when you said
that satellite technology
can promote peace?
[sighs]
A long time ago,
Charu and I, my ex-wife
Remember I told you about her?
We both had the same dream.
We wanted to build technology
to benefit everyone in the world.
[clears throat]
You know, to make this world
a safer place to live in.
We took different paths,
but I continued to pursue our dream.
I firmly believe Madhavi,
that satellite monitoring technology
can be used for good.
That's the goal.
At the same time,
it can also be used for destruction.
And that's why it's important
that it's being used by the right people,
you know.
In the right hands,
the threat of destruction
becomes a powerful tool
to maintain balance.
[grunts softly]
Madhavi?
Are you okay?
Want some water? Madhavi.
[Honey] Thank you
for letting us stay here.
We only need it for one night.
It's just me and my daughter.
We'll head out early in the morning.
[bird cawing]
[groaning softly]
[tense music playing]
[exhales deeply]
What did I do that was so bad
to deserve being punished this way?
Face the wall.
You don't have permission to speak
until I say you can speak.
You broke your promise.
The situation was different
when I made that promise.
I broke it because the situation changed.
You say, "Made the best of any situation."
If you don't expect me to actually follow
the advice you give me,
then don't teach me all this.
Hmm!
You were badly hurt,
so I went to get some medicine for you.
Nadia, we are in play mode.
That means you listen to me. Yes or no?
Yes.
Should you have left the car
during play mode?
Yes or no?
No. But I was so worried about you.
You weren't supposed to leave the car.
That's it. End of story.
Fine. Then don't take the medicine.
I don't care.
For your information,
this punishment is a big joke.
I can stand here all day long.
I like staring at the wall,
and the wall staring at me.
Come and sleep.
[groovy synth music playing]
[mumbling] If I do this,
then this would change, so
Where the hell is Honey?
She should have been here by now.
Yeah, right, she should have.
Chacko.
Baba, you're here?
That wasn't part of the plan, right?
Plans change all the time.
The future of this agency
depends on the success of this mission.
Son, why wouldn't I be here?
I've brought along a new star agent.
Meet Kedar.
KD.
He'll be part of this Op from now on.
Just brief him.
Reminds me of you. Stubborn.
He can't take no for an answer.
He was getting eager to prove himself.
So I said, "Let's go to Belgrade.
Prove yourself."
I'm giving you a chance to work
with my best agent, Kedar.
- Let's see what you can do.
- Yes, Baba.
Baba, do we need additional support?
I mean, the team is set.
- Son.
- I
We don't know what level of security
they're running here, right?
He's good with planning and strategy.
Use him. Come on, use him.
Sure.
Welcome, KD. Chacko
The girl who's on your team. Where is she?
Oh, right.
Where did your female star agent go?
I don't see her.
[Rahi] That's because, Baba,
I sent her to Dr. Raghu,
to get some additional information.
[KD] She should have
been here by 3:00 p.m.
She was with the doctor till noon.
It's 3:30, Baba.
[Guru] That's that's true.
It's 3:30, Rahi.
I trust my agents, Baba. She'll be here.
- Okay.
- If you want me to,
I could go and check
her last known location.
Why?
What for?
Did I tell you to check on her?
You don't move a muscle
until I tell you to.
Clear?
Crystal. [chuckles]
This is Rahi's Op.
All you need to do is follow his orders.
[Guru] Okay, let's get to work. Come on.
- [Ludo] Baba.
- [Guru] Yeah?
This way.
[clears throat, clicks tongue]
Don't.
Don't what?
Don't?
Adding her to the team was the right call.
So don't question my decision.
Hey, I am not questioning
your decision. I
Bro. I just want to thank you
for giving me this family, that's all.
I don't know what you saw in me, really.
Exactly. Out of a billion people,
why Ludo?
This guy always ruins
my emotional moments, man. I mean
Bunny,
if I turned out to be okay,
she'll also turn out to be okay.
Don't worry.
[Chacko] Done with your homework?
- Very good, Dinah.
- [line ringing]
Now do one thing for me.
Put all the candy on the left.
Yes, but don't eat it, okay?
[line disconnects]
Now you have ten candies, right? Okay?
Now eat three of them.
You did?
Now, how many candies do you have left?
Seven.
Now, that's my little genius.
Listen, Dinah.
So, Papa has to go now, okay?
When I'm back, we'll check out
the new restaurant next door.
McDonald's. I'll take you there. Okay?
All right. Bye.
- What?
- And how old is Dinah?
Five.
Five? Just go easy on him.
Bro, it's not so easy
getting into college.
You need to get them started early.
Have you lost your mind
along with your hair?
What is wrong with you?
You jerk, you'll see when you have
Sorry.
[telephone ringing]
Hello.
I didn't think we'd ever talk again.
[Rahi] I didn't either.
It's really nice to hear your voice.
You know,
I was pissed off with you at first.
Eventually I realized that
you weren't the only one at fault.
Tell me, what do you want?
I shouldn't call you directly like this.
The protocol, I know.
But it's an emergency.
You're the only one who can do this.
[groans softly]
[keypad beeping]
[line ringing]
[phone ringing]
Satya.
[tense music playing]
You betrayed us all, Honey.
But you know what?
I wasn't heartbroken.
That only happens when
you're betrayed
by someone you actually trust.
And I never trusted you
in the first place.
[sighs]
But I was just doing
what I thought was right. So
Oh, yes, of course.
You put on a great show
for eight long years.
You pretended you were dead.
People believed you.
But I wasn't fooled, Honey.
I don't believe something is true
until I have some concrete proof.
You'll be facing a lot of danger
if you do this.
I'm not afraid of danger.
It's just stupidity that scares me.
Anyway, tell me what you need.
There's important information that I need.
- It's risky.
- [Ludo] Of course.
For you.
If you decide to do it,
you're gonna have to disappear completely.
You'll have to leave Baba's agency.
[sighs]
What's the job?
I want Baba's files, everything.
So let's not dance around anymore.
Okay, let's not.
I want to keep my daughter
away from all of this.
Tell me, what do I have to do?
You know what I want, Honey?
And I'm certain that you have it with you.
If I don't get it back, Honey,
I'll have to come after someone
who's very
very
close to your heart.
