01x07 - Trap The Jackal

[bunniefuu]

[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.

[g*nshots]

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?

[g*nsh*t]

Gautam, I will ask only once.

So, think before you answer.

[g*nsh*t]

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 t*rror1st 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 t*rrorists?

Neither do t*rrorists

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 t*rror1st 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 as*ault 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 expl*sive.

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 t*rror1st 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 k*lling 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 k*ll 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 k*lling 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 sh*t. 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.

[g*ns 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.
