Avrodh: The Siege Within (2020) s01e07 Episode Script

[Videep] 'Sir, since this is your AOR'
'during aggress
across the LOC'
'with each check post
we may need a direct channel.'
Sir, 81mm mortar can only provide
cover fire of 5 kilometres
and that is where
the arti fire kicks in.
When the DGMO asked me
to come here
I knew this was going to be
something big.
Sir, here in the Leepa Valley,
one of the Pakistani army's mobile posts
is being moved
to another sector
almost in this direction.
Sir, there are a few villages here
which could be dangerous for us.
I think our direction
should be from this site.
From here, Sir.
Any targets?
As soon as we receive
the mission details
the target coordinates
will be passed on to you, Sir.
For now, Bihar regiment's
Ghatak platoon
will be our last man lookout.
And for evac,
we will need heli support, Sir.
Videep, I promise you
we'll do our best.
But when can we expect
the final go-ahead?
Sir, for me,
this mission is already a go
and it will remain so
until I'm not asked to stop.
[grunts]
[grunts]
Two, three, four, five, six.
[gunshots]
Come on.
Thampi, come on!
[Videep grunts]
[Title Montage]
Cover fire can only save us
from being spotted by the enemy
but not from the mines.
I want you all to memorize
every minefield marked on this map.
- Alright?
- Sir! - Sir
We will be using radiophones
to transmit messages to the base.
But they will only be used
during satellite blackout. Clear?
- Sir.
- Yes, Sir!
- Any doubts?
- No, Sir.
Good.
One more thing.
There will be Pakistani Army Rangers
at the forward villages.
Which means there will be
their dogs too.
This is leopard urine.
Keep it close to you.
The dogs will stay away from you.
Got it?
- Yes, Sir
- Sir!
Gurung.
- Sir.
- No stress, everyone will get it.
Yes, Sir.
[laughs]
Yeah, Satish. Yeah, yeah.
Uh, Sarthak will, uh,
brief you on this.
[Shailesh] 'Yeah, yeah.'
Yes, alright.
I'll call you later.
Bye.
Please sit.
[Shailesh] 'What will you have?
Tea, coffee?'
Why have you called me here?
Namrata.
To get to the
truth behind news
you are ready to
go to any extent.
In the same way, whatever
I do for national security
is justified according to me.
Nothing personal towards you.
Look, neither you can stop me
from doing my work
nor can I stop you
from doing yours.
This job, this channel
despite all this,
you can still make yourself heard.
And I will still try to stop you.
But today,
I have a request for you.
Just give me three days.
You will get the story
you are looking for.
If not for me
do it for your country.
Fine.
But I have one condition.
Fakruddin will also be released.
But after three days.
One more thing.
Whatever happened with you
is probably wrong
from your perspective.
But please don't give up the passion
you have for your profession
because of this.
[Namrata sighs]
I'm taking a break for now.
I have had enough of journalism.
Mm-hmm. Then I have something
to keep you occupied.
Please google
Colonel Arunesh Singh.
The real story begins there.
You will have to find it yourself.
[Namrata] 'Colonel Arunesh Singh.'
Thank you.
Major, just open your mouth.
Hey, Chaks.
[chuckles]
- 102. Not good, Major.
- Can you please check it again?
I don't think that will help.
You are burning.
- You need medicine and a lot of rest,
huh. - Oh, come on, Doctor!
- Are you sure, Videep?
- The doctor has already examined him twice.
We can't take him.
This means you will need
another experienced officer
in place of Chaks.
Is that right?
Have we identified anyone?
[gunshot]
Gautam, I will ask only once.
So, think before you answer.
[gunshot]
Whatever you need,
my answer is yes.
[helicopter whirring]
[Niharika] 'I hardly slept
for an hour last night.'
'She just won't let me sleep.'
[Raunaq] 'Hmm.'
I don't know where
she gets her energy from.
She is with mom right now.
I'm sure she will start crying again.
If she doesn't see me, that's it.
Hmm.
[Niharika] 'What hmm?'
Raunaq, are you even listening?
Usually, you call from the base
at night.
How come you called
at this time today?
Were you missing me?
Yes.
You and Rishika, both.
Rishika?
You've already finalized the name!
[Niharika] 'That's nice.'
Raunaq, come home soon.
I'm missing you.
You both take care of yourselves.
[Raunaq] 'I'll be back soon.'
Meaning?
Why are you saying that?
No, just
Anyways, you take care.
- I will call you when I can.
- Raunaq
I love you, always!
[engine revving]
It is Rishabh's.
The nature of our work is such
that we lose perspective sometimes.
Major Sood's death is not your fault.
So don't you ever hold yourself
responsible for it.
When I wrap up this mission
and submit my report
about the security breach at Uri
no finger will be pointed
at any officer of the Indian Army.
Major Gautam,
go get those bs!
[Sunita] 'Greetings.
Honourable Chairperson.'
This month marked the 15th anniversary
of the 9/11 terror attacks on this city.
We empathize with the pain of this city.
We too were attacked in Uri
by the same terrorist groups.
Terrorism is the biggest violation
of human rights.
Because it targets
innocent people
and kills them
for no fault of theirs.
It is not a crime against
a single person or a country.
It is a crime against
all of humanity.
Who are the ones giving refuge
to the terrorists?
Neither do terrorists
own banks
nor factories
to manufacture weapons.
Then, where do they get
their funding from?
Who gives them weapons?
Who is protecting them?
There are a few countries
which sow terrorism,
reap terrorism
and even export terrorism.
And such countries
should also be identified
where the terrorist organisations
banned by the United Nations
are celebrating openly
holding processions
spewing venom
and no action is taken
against them.
Ma'am, if we unite
and try together
we can bring back
the golden age for humanity.
But what happens in the future
depends on what we do today.
[applause]
Target D has its guard
far from down
but it is not in
an attacking position.
There are a few Pakistani Army
or ISI vehicles here.
Most probably, the next infiltration bid
will happen from here.
We need to be careful, Videep.
The target is in between
a civil community.
This village matches your intel.
Don't worry, Sir.
Before the Pakistani dogs wake up,
the Indian lions will be back.
The assault window is very small
because of the target's distance
and the evacuation time
is just eight to ten minutes.
[Raunaq] 'During the ingress,
without the drones'
'we will be able to study the targets
only through night vision.'
But while returning,
we will have drone support.
Even with the drones, to cover a distance
of three kilometres from PoK
we need to chart out a safe route.
Behind enemy line,
there is no safe route, Sir.
All this area that you see here
is a mountainous forest
which is our only way out.
[zipping jacket]
This first button lets out the gas.
Second button?
The second button
triggers the explosive.
What does that do?
It turns the entire world silent.
Shoaib, take him.
Go safely.
Sir, that Major Masood has
stopped our boys at the border.
His excuse is that
he has orders from above.
Hmm.
Has he stopped
any of Hizbul's missions?
I don't know, Sir.
Do you think
that the Pakistani Army
is encouraging Hizbul?
They threw a few dollars
and now the army is
behaving like their lapdogs.
The fruits of our labour
of all these years
will be handed over to Hizbul.
Where can I find this Major?
Timarkot.
Put the boys into trucks.
We are going to Timarkot.
Yes, sir.
[Wahaab] 'Shoaib, after Timarkot,
sir will come to Kotla too.'
Sir, with the inputs from RAW,
MI and ISRO
targets A, B and C
have been identified.
Satellite images confirm
the presence of infiltrators
at these launch pads in PoK.
We are ready to take them out.
We should not let
this opportunity go, sir.
Executive order, sir.
As soon as you sign,
Operation Uri will be put into action.
Sir, as a preventive measure
the Home Ministry will deploy additional CRPF
in Srinagar and other sensitive areas.
Protests can be contained.
We must proceed with the mission
as soon as possible.
But we have to keep
one thing in mind, sir.
After such operations,
in terrorist outfits
recruitment often increases.
If there are more recruitments,
we will do more operations.
Operation Uri is the only answer
to the enemy at the moment.
[phone vibrates]
We have just received an update
that Abu Hafeez
is coming to Kotla.
Where's this Kotla?
Kotla is in PoK.
Around 3 to 3.5 kilometres away.
Sir, we must try to get him.
General Singha, your plan did not have
this target and its routes.
Is it wise to change the target
at the last minute?
Our Special Forces
will not have enough time to plan.
Speed, stealth and strength
go hand in hand
with the Special Forces.
And Abu Hafeez is number four
on Interpol's Most-Wanted list.
We won't get a better chance
to decapitate Jaish-e-Mohammed.
Sir, I know how much
the army wants to do this.
But we must be sure about this.
[Satish] 'Just killing one Bin Laden
does not finish the Al Qaeda.'
I want to talk to the officer
who is leading this mission.
Jai Hind, sir.
Greetings.
- What is your name?
- Major Videep Singh, sir.
Major,
often we come across situations
wherein we have to take
certain difficult decisions.
Decisions which directly affect
the lives of soldiers like you.
Sir, the people have
chosen you to lead us.
Every decision you take will be
for the betterment of the country.
We are with you.
Major Singh, we have learned
that we have a chance
to finish Abu Hafeez.
But to do this,
we will have to
add a new target along
with the finalized ones.
And so I want to ask you
Are you and your teams
ready for this?
When there is an opportunity
to kill the enemy
which soldier would not want
to rise to the occasion?
We are Special Forces, sir.
We are prepared to face
every hardship and obstacle.
We will neutralize the enemy, Sir.
Maybe, I have been elected
to this chair
only so that soldiers
like you
can remind everyone
who we Indians are.
We can show the entire world that
we Indians don't give up.
We don't give up, or give in.
Go on, Major Singh.
I wish you nothing but victory.
The country is counting on me
and I am counting on you.
- Go on.
- Sir.
Jai Hind.
Jai Hind, Sir.
[door opens]
Mahadevan ji,
you were absolutely right.
Just killing one Bin Laden
does not finish the Al-Qaeda.
But it definitely changes
the world's perception of America.
Today, we too have a chance
to change the world's
perception towards us.
The world believes us to be
a non-violent country.
And that we are.
Even a lion can remain calm.
But if he stops roaring
the entire jungle will consider
him weak.
The world is one such jungle.
And now it is our turn to roar.
Our teams will not attack
just three targets
but also this fourth target.
[switch turns on]
[pages turning]
Target D, where we will find
these people.
Abu Hafeez.
And his companion, Wahaab.
[Videep] 'They are moving
towards Target D.'
Our source, Shoaib, is with them.
And tonight we are going
to meet them.
But Target D is approximately
3 kilometres inside PoK.
Yes, you are right.
The attack team of Target D will be
led by me, consisting of 10 people.
- Captain Jagtap.
- Yes, Sir.
You will lead Target C.
Choose your men.
[Jagtap] 'Copy that, Sir.'
Every team will have
a satellite kit.
- Pathan.
- Yes, Sir.
-[Videep] 'You are responsible.'
- Roger, Sir.
In the next few hours, we need
to know everything about Target D.
[Videep] 'From the moment they wake up,
to the moment they sleep'
'from the moment they eat,
to the moment they shit. Everything!'
Very soon, we will get the grid
references and ingress routes.
Match them with the triangulated
positions and get the coordinates.
There are three army posts
in close vicinity
we might need backup
and response time.
-[Videep] 'Clear?'
- Clear, Sir.
Good.
[guns being loaded]
Until this morning
none of you knew
anything about this mission.
By tomorrow morning
the entire world will know.
And if anybody
can make this happen
it is us.
Boys.
Let's make history tonight.
- Are you ready?
- Yes, Sir!
Parade, attention.
Look ahead!
Hold still!
Permission to leave, Sir.
- You have it, Major.
- Thank you, Sir.
Parade, dismiss.
- Victory to
- India!
- Victory to
- India!
- Victory to
- India!
[footsteps]
[engines revving]
[engines revving]
[keyboard typing]
What is the status?
So, all teams have left the base
and are moving
towards the release point.
[engines revving]
[typing sounds]
Atlantic is in the dark.
Eight minutes, Major.
Roger!
Moving in. Over.
Boys.
Eight minutes.
