01x01 - The Calm Before The Storm

[bunniefuu]

[eagle screeching]

[Kashmiri music playing]

'Team one, hold your positions.'

'Roger, sir!'

[Kashmiri music playing]

Team two in position.

'Eyes on target.

Target locked.'

Please come.

Let's take a photo.

They have surrounded us, Sartaj.

We are in the middle of a wedding.

There are women and children here.

This is an Indian Army operation.

[Gautam] 'We have

received information'

'that a few t*rrorists

are hiding in your house.'

'We have cordoned off your house.'

You have no choice,

but to surrender them.

'Because of these t*rrorists,

your and your family's lives'

'will be in danger,

which we don't want.'

Bilawal!

Do you think we'll be safe

if we stay here?

Shall we go, brother?

This is our last warning.

Position.

All teams, engage at will.

[g*nsh*t]

Move

[b*ll*ts firing]

Move

[b*ll*ts firing]

[helicopter whirring]

'Target two down.'

'Four kills confirmed.'

'Sir, this is Bilawal.'

That's what I call

a golden jackpot.

[Title Montage]

[Reporter] 'The breaking news

from Kashmir'

'Alleged t*rror1st mastermind

and anti-national hero Bilawal Wani'

The Indian Army shot down famous t*rror1st

in a covert operation

Bilawal was hiding in Bumdoora village

of Kokernag district.

In the crossfire with the security forces

in Bumdoora village

Bilawal Wani, who is also a commander

of Hijbul Mujahidin

has been shot dead.

[Kids muttering] Allah is the only God.

And Muhammad

is the messenger of God.

Allah is the only God.

And Muhammad

is the messenger of God.

Allah is the only God.

And Muhammad

is the messenger of God.

Allah is the only God.

And Muhammad

[door closing]

[door opening]

- Namaste.

-[Abu Hafeez] 'Waleikum-salam.'

- Namrata Joshi.

-[Namrata] 'Yes.'

You are a sharp reporter,

aren't you?

It's fragile

The situation in Kashmir

is very fragile.

It's a pity

that the public

has to take to the streets

to get the government's attention.

After all the difficulties we've faced,

our only hope is

that we now have an army

for Independent Kashmir

which will fight

for the people's rights.

If the government thinks

that they can scare us at gunpoint

then, they are highly mistaken.

Because, until the people of Kashmir

get freedom

we won't stop.

[Namrata] 'Are you referring to

Jaish-e-Mohammed?'

It is believed

that Jaish-e-Mohammed

is led by the ISI

We only follow the teachings

of Allah.

And that's why, every Muslim

is supporting our cause.

They are with us

in this battle for freedom.

What makes you feel

that all Muslims

are supporting you?

Will spreading terror

serve your purpose?

Our purpose will be served when we succeed

in removing the Indian Army

from the land of Kashmir.

Do you think it's that easy

to defeat the Indian Army?

If your army

kills one of our soldiers

then we will k*ll

a hundred soldiers of the Indian Army.

And that will be not ours, but Allah's

wrath delivered upon the Indian Army.

- You mean

- That's enough!

I've said what I wanted to.

[phone vibrating]

[Shailesh] 'Your phone is ringing.'

Good morning, Shailesh.

Get into the pool.

Ever since college, you've sat

by the poolside every morning.

- Look at me, I can't swim.

But the water is great. - Yeah yeah..

What happened?

Are you scared

of getting into the water? Huh?

It's better if you and your bureaucracy

don't talk about getting scared.

- Long night?

- Yeah. How can you get sleep

when your hands are tied?

What's your problem?

You are the PM's blue-eyed boy!

You can convince him

for anything.

But I'm helpless.

What do I do?

It's important to have the support

of bureaucrats like you

in a democracy.

This isn't the time

to get aggressive.

The SAARC summit is coming up

and so is Sunita madam's

UN trip.

- Patience, my friend.

- This is precisely our problem.

Do you know that?

We are always on the back foot.

And people mistake

our empathy for weakness.

You know what,

you are a

a one track pony.

You have the same solution

for every problem.

We're trying to open

new channels for peace talks

and you come to me

every morning

asking for additional

special forces for Kashmir.

Hey Have you all collectively

lost your mind?

First, we impose curfew.

Then we withdraw it.

Now the people who pelt stones

will decide

if curfew will be imposed

or not.

God damn it!

Wow! Very good!

It's a bloody joke, man!

Who the hell is in control here?

Fifty bloody days of curfew

in Kashmir!

Do you understand

what I'm saying?

Those who love peace,

must learn to organise

as effectively

as those who love w*r.

Yeah

Is that original?

Martin Luther King.

It sounds great.

But there's a problem.

We are talking about

avoiding the w*r.

But the truth is, my friend

the w*r has already begun!

Hi, Cutiepie. How are you?

Don't you dare come back!

First, I'll pull out your nails

and then, I'll gouge your eyes out.

[Niharika] 'Later, I'll'

Stop watching Game of Thrones,

baby.

Wait and watch, our daughter

will turn out violent like you.

By the way,

how is our angel?

- She is sleeping peacefully.

- So cute!

Please tilt the camera.

I want to see her.

Why should I?

If you really want to see her

come home.

Please!

Let me see her.

Just look in the mirror.

She looks exactly like you.

[Niharika] 'Say hi to dad.'

She looks exactly like you,

not me. Thankfully.

Thankfully, right?

As long as she has my brains, right?

Sure, why not?

So that both of you leave me

and join the army.

And I'll be left all alone.

- Oh, no Fk!

- Raunak Raun

- Congratulations, sir!

- Thank you.

But why have we stopped?

- Jai Hind, sir!

- Jai Hind.

- The road is blocked, sir.

- Why? What happened?

How long have they been at it?

It's been four to five hours.

[Gautam] 'Good afternoon, sir.'

We are preparing to welcome

the son-in-law of Uri, Major Gautam.

'But it seems like the in-laws

are mad at me.'

Mad at you? Why?

- The convoy has been blocked

at Baramulla. - Okay.

Let me get the GOC on line.

And stay right there

- until I sort out the situation.

-[Gautam] 'Sir!'

- In Baramulla.

-[Madhav] 'How many people are there?'

[Satish] 'Perhaps, 30 to 40 people.'

There is one gypsy

and two 3-tonners in the convoy.

Pull back the convoy.

We can't afford

another confrontation at any cost.

Sir, with due respects.

If we stop an army convoy today

then in the future, all our movement

in Kashmir can get restricted.

[Shailesh] 'This will give out

a wrong message.'

This will be a victory

for the enemy.

Shailesh.

No more tear gas

or pellet g*ns.

None of these solutions

will work anymore.

It has made matters worse.

Sir, but stopping the movements of

the army might set a wrong trend.

Satish, the movement of the convoy

is an operational decision

and I leave it to you.

But this time,

if something does go wrong

then I won't be answerable

to the PM.

Don't forget that we're

the ruling party in Kashmir now.

And a ruling party can only stay

in power

till they have the support

of the public.

-[Rastogi] 'How far behind is your company?'

- Sir, it's eight hours behind.

I'm just 30 kilometres

away from Uri.

The NSA and Defence Secretary

have left the decision to us.

You're the man on the ground,

Gautam.

Handle it.

But keep in mind

that we can't take the blame

for another confrontation.

[Gautam] 'Roger, sir.

I'll be careful.'

- All the best.

- Jai Hind.

[Sahiba] Our son is innocent.'

He is only 15 years old.

Please take this money back.

We don't want anything.

Your son, Sohail came to me.

He said that he wants

to be a Mujahid.

I said, "Sure".

I trained him.

I took good care of him.

And now that it is time

to send him to the border

you are asking me to not send him?

Now it's too late, sister.

Your boy is a son of God now.

- Please show my son mercy.

- Who am I to show mercy?

Only God can show mercy.

Wahab, call her son here.

Sohail!

Shabbir, you should be happy.

Your son sacrificed his life

for the sake of Kashmir.

Explain to her that

her son is now ready

to sacrifice his life.

Ask her to stop crying,

and be happy.

-[Sohail] 'Greetings!'

- Greetings!

[Sahiba] 'My son! My darling!'

[Abu Hafeez] 'They have come

to take you away from your home.'

- They want you to go back with them.

- Let's go.

Let's go home.

Come, my dear. Let's go.

Wahab.

When people come in the way

of Allah's work

what do we do with them, Sohail?

What are you doing, Sohail?

What are you doing?

Huh?

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

- Sohail!

- Sohail, don't do this.

Don't do this.

- In the name of Allah!

- Allah is the greatest!

We don't k*ll our own.

But the ones who create obstacles for

Allah's work

no longer remain our people.

Sohail

Sohail

Sohail

Sohail

Sohail

[door opening]

[Assailant] 'Hands up!'

I've waited so long to see you, pal.

Come here.

Give me a hug.

How have you been?

Good to see you.

- How are you?

- Good.

- How are you?

- Good.

You've come after a long time.

Won't you join me for a drive?

- Any time.

- Come, let's go.

- Let's go. Come on.

- Let's go.

[Gautam] 'Wow, Mr. Sood.'

This place hasn't changed a bit.

I'm impressed!

I've arranged a feast for 200

people for your welcome.

Thank you.

- Mr. Bhairon Singh!

- Sir.

Take over the canteen inventory, account

units and medical supplies tomorrow.

Okay, sir.

Check the number of vehicles in the M

and their condition.

[Gautam] 'Jeeps, trucks, ambulances.

Get details of everything.'

[Bhairon] 'Sir.'

- Sood.

- Hmm?

Don't you think these tents

are very close to the fence?

[Sood] 'Which army are you in, pal?'

I'm sure you know

that different departments

have been playing ping pong with

the proposal for additional barracks.

- Bhairon Singh.

- Sir.

I want the entire area cleaned up.

It will be done, sir.

Yes.

Go for Sood.

Since when?

Okay, I'm coming.

Listen, we got to go.

There's a problem.

- What happened?

- Abdul Ansari, Ex-JeM

has been working with us

for the last one year.

We've had four successful

operations because of him.

He's been missing

for 48 hours.

[indistinct chatter]

[Abu Hafeez] 'Wahab.'

- Get the boys ready.

- Okay, sir.

What do we do about Abdul?

We don't know what he has told

the Indian Army

and he won't talk.

This is the last time

I'm asking you.

What have you told them?

Allah is the only God.

Allah won't listen

to your prayers.

There's no place for

infidels in Allah's world.

You are the infidel,

and not me, Abu Hafeez.

You sacrifice children

in the name of Allah.

Your death is near.

You'll die, Abu Hafeez.

You'll definitely die.

Everyone has to die.

-[Abdul] 'Allah is the only God.'

- But your turn

is today, Abdul.

Sohail!

- In the name of Allah

- Allah is the greatest.

Congratulations!

You have been anointed

with this blood.

Congratulations!

[Rastogi] 'So, you think

he's been compromised?'

It's possible, Sir.

Sir, we were given information

about tonight

that a group of four militants

will infiltrate from here.

From here

If he's been compromised, either

they might change their plans

or we're in for some fireworks.

Either way,

we need to be prepared.

We are, sir.

Sir, I'll lead a team

and I'll put stops here,

here and here.

You deserve a final expl*si*n

before leaving Uri.

Absolutely, sir.

- Best of luck.

- Thank you.

- I'll go with you.

- Just relax, pal.

Anyway, you'll be managing

everything after a couple of days.

You just keep my drink ready.

OK?

We have very little time.

Check the arrangements.

Excuse me, uncle.

What's your name?

Sir, it's Ismail Fayyaz.

- You work here as a gardener,

don't you? - Yes, sir.

All this grass should be cut

- before the grand dinner tomorrow.

- Okay, sir.

And listen.

If you need

get a few more men to help you.

Okay, Sir.

Okay, listen.

Inform the security

[Bhairon] 'that he might get

a few more men with him.'

'Got it? Don't forget.'

Hakum, Sohail, Asad, Sarbaaz.

- Are you all okay?

- Yes, sir.

Many of our Mujahideen

have been martyred

in this w*r.

Now is the right time.

This is our best chance to win Kashmir.

The people are with us.

Allah has selected you

for this new battle.

- Are you all ready?

- Yes, sir.

-[Wahab] 'Go get ready, boys.'

- Sure, sir

Divide them into two groups.

[Abu Hafeez] 'Four juniors

in one group.'

'And the four seniors

in another group.'

Will the juniors manage by themselves?

It's their first time.

If their army knows

that we are coming

then we will surely go.

[owls hooting]

[Rishabh] 'Eyes on target.

Bravo Charlie team on standby.'

On your six.

There's some activity

going on here, sir.

[Rastogi] 'Sher Khan, watch your six,

there's some activity.'

'Move East

Move East 200 metres.'

'Target has changed position.'

Roger.

Move

Stop!

Avtar Singh, binoculars.

[Rishabh] 'There!

I see some movement.'

'Boys, set it up.'

According to Abdul's information

there should be three more people.

There they come.

Boys, the first one is my target.

Avtar Singh, the second one

is yours.

- Shankar, the third one

will be yours. - Yes, sir.

- The fourth one is yours, Umar.

- Okay, sir.

- Targets locked?

- Locked.

On my count, boys.

[Rishabh] 'Three, two, one.'

Mission status,

four confirmed kills.

I repeat, four confirmed kills.

- Good job!

- Thank you, sir.

[Rastogi] 'Return to base.

Your treat awaits.'

If the government thinks

that they can scare us

at gunpoint

then, they are highly mistaken.

[Pankaj] 'What's the matter, Namrata?

You look quite stressed out.'

You are not looking very happy.

'It's a pity'

Why did Abu Hafeez have to

do this interview? Why now?

He wants his thoughts

to reach more people.

Nowadays, everyone

needs publicity.

Even if you're a t*rror1st

organisation, right?

But the way

in which he's talking

it seems more of a threat

than an interview.

Namrata, these t*rrorists

threaten us everyday.

That's their job.

What's the big deal?

'We only follow

the teachings of Allah.'

This had the feel

of an immediate threat.

'Every Muslim

is supporting our cause'

Yeah! And an empty one at that,

if at all

Come on, cheer up.

You've done a good job.

If your army

kills one of our men

then we'll k*ll

a hundred soldiers of the Indian Army.

And that will be not ours, but our Allah's wrath

delivered upon the Indian Army.'

Ismail uncle?
