02x04 - The feint

[bunniefuu]

Ma'am, please fasten
your seat belt.

Ma'am. Ma'am.

Ma'am, we'll be landing soon.
Please fasten your seat belt.

- Upright your seat back.
- Yes, sure.

Thank you.

[Pilot] ‘We will soon begin
our descent into...’

‘...Amritsar's Guru Ram Dasji
International Airport.’

‘The temperature outside
is 34 degrees.’

‘Please turn off all electronic
devices,’

‘fasten your seat belts...’

Parveenaji,
don't get me wrong.

But I can't help you.

- Papaji, at least hear her out.
- Iqbal.

[Parveena] ‘Papaji, we all know..’

...that your experience
is incomparable.

But I don't have the courage
anymore.

[Papaji] ‘Nor the capacity
to take on such a big job.’

You people have turned me
into a small-time drug dealer.

The work you are asking me to do...

...will need a lot of people.

A lot of training.

[Papaji] ‘Many weapons.’

Would 100 crores be sufficient?

Come brother.
Let's get tea for everyone.

Come on.

Papaji,

please...

Calm down, brother.
Why do you care?

All you need to do
is think how you will spend...

...all the money you get.

Papaji,

there is no stepping back
during a w*r.

You have an opportunity

to earn 100 crores
in just two months.

Just think about it.

The horror of the 80’s
must not be forgotten.

You want to dig up old wounds?

[Iqbal] All you have to do
is enjoy.

Don't worry.

You and your friends had a dream.

Will you give it up so easily?

He has agreed. For now.

But this Pritpal of yours.

I don't trust him.

Don't worry, madam.

He has been handling
our drugs business for years.

I’ve got him by the b*lls.
He has no way out.

Okay.

- [Iqbal] ‘Madam.’
- Yes.

[Iqbal] ‘One more thing.’

Could you please put in a word
for me in Islamabad?

Let me see what I can do.

[Iqbal] ‘Okay.’

God be with you, madam.

[Title Montage]

Attention!

[Imtiaz] ‘What’s the matter?’

‘You seem tense.’

Something is not right.

My source has gone cold.

It's been two days
and there is no update.

Maybe he did not get a chance.

It's a high-value asset, after all.

Vigilance and security
must be at its peak.

It’s possible.
But...

I don't know.

Field officers like us spend
half our lives on standby.

Right now, we can just wait
for more information.

I still can't believe
we have no information..

...on Zafar Hamidi’s movement.

We are constantly monitoring
the satellites, sir.

[Chaddha] ‘But no unusual movement
has been detected around Chakothi.’

Sir, 91 para base is waiting
for further on-ground intel.

Troops are ready to deploy.

Then deploy them.

We do have intel they plan to
infiltrate from Chakothi sector.

[Shailesh] ‘He is right.’

‘Mr. Chaddha,’

focus all your resources
on the Chakothi sector.

- [Chaddha] ‘Sir.’
- And run all your information..

...through the ATFTF.

- General.
- [Vaidya] ‘Sir.’

An on-ground recon team
might not be a bad idea.

Let's have some concrete intel
in 24 hours.

[Mujeed] ‘Eat the meat.
It’s fresh.’

Farooq, I think we should
begin the journey.

Waiting any longer
can prove to be more dangerous.

You’ve gotten used to travelling
in airplanes, Zafar.

[Farooq] ‘We need to think a 1000
times before setting foot on land.’

[Farooq] By now, Indian agencies
would have moved towards Chakothi.

Once our informers confirm it,

your journey will begin.

It can’t be that easy to evade
the Indian army.

You worry too much, Zafar.

Have some patience.

Mujeed has identified some...

...new routes via
the Haveli border area.

The moon will be waning
next few nights.

We'll get across in
it’s shadow.

Don't worry, Zafar.

Come, have some meat.

You won't find such flavour
in the meat there.

[Officer] ‘Target ahead!’

‘On the whistle, five rounds!
Get ready. Fire!’

[Officer] ‘Jai Hind, sir!’

Pradeep, Imtiaz.

Carry on.

Jai Hind, sir.

Pradeep, your informer last spotted

Zafar Hamidi
at Chakothi camp, right?

Yes, sir.

Most likely, they'll
take the route...

..from Lower Tambacoowala
to Upper Tambacoowala.

[Officer in distance] ‘Fire.’

We should immediately
start monitoring that area.

Delhi wants that we have boots
on the ground.

33rd Sikh light and
border force unit from Baramulla...

...will be giving us backup.

All okay?

Yes, sir.

What’s the matter?

Sir, my informer’s silence
is bothering me.

Usually, before an infiltration,

Pakistani army stages firing
in some sectors.

You know, Sir.

It’s their regular practice.
They try to distract us.

But this time,
there are no activities.

Isn't it strange?

That's why, Sir, I was wondering..
if you permit...

I want to tap another source.

Sir, do you remember
that lady?

The one who helped us identify
Wajid Baktari? In Kashmir?

You want to use her?
How?

Her husband, sir.

He is serving time
in Baramulla jail,

in a narcotics case.

- Pradeep.
- Sir.

I've already taken enough favours
from the Narcotics department.

Can't you tap any other informer?
Someone already in the area?

Sir, if I had someone in the area,
I wouldn't have made this request.

Sir, he is just a driver.

What will we gain
by punishing him?

Sir, please. If we make him
our informer, he can help us.

Will this person be able to
reach Chakothi?

Drug-runners
are the lifeline of ISI.

Crossing the border or entering
a t*rror1st camp...

...is no big deal for them.

- Sir, please try to understand.
- Pradeep.

Sir, what do we have to lose?

We are about to start
on-ground reconnaissance anyway.

Maybe we should try
what Captain Pradeep is suggesting.

Sir, our source in Chakothi has
been silent for the past two days.

[Vaidya] ‘There is a drug-peddler
in Baramulla jail...’

‘...whom we want to send
to Chakothi.’

Any options?

At this moment,

this is the only
option we have.

Whose idea is this?

Captain Pradeep.

Bhattacharya?

Yes, sir.

Sometimes, it’s such out-of-the-box
ideas that bring the results.

But of course, they always have
to be off the record.

Go ahead.

Right, sir.

The story will be...

...that the police were taking
him for evidence collection...

...when he escaped custody.

[Vaidya] Yes, sir.

[Pradeep] ‘Babrak,
you will have to get down here.’

[Babrak] ‘Sir,’

how can I ever thank you?

By keeping this phone with you.

[Pradeep] ‘That’s Zafar Hamidi
and Mujeed Josh.’

‘You have to find information
on them.’

[Babrak] ‘Okay.’

[Pradeep] ‘And, here.
Take this.’

Keep an account.
It's official money.

Okay.

You will meet Rasool in Chakothi.

Give him this phone.

Tell him, Pradeep sir has given it.

Got it.

Be careful.

Yes, sir.

Take the truck in.

Hold on.

It’s 1000 rupees short.

Just take what I'm giving,
and bring the truck inside.

How much did we agree on?

You’ve been making me wander for
seven days. Don't annoy me.

You owe me a 1000 more.

You want a fight, do you?

- Do you know what I can do?
- What will you do?

I'll take the truck
back right away.

- You won't agree, will you?
- So you won't agree, then?

- This truck will not go inside.
- Hey, come on.

- Don't touch me.
- Come on, take it in.

Don't move the truck.

- I want my money.
- Take it in.

Don't move the truck.

You'll get the money. Alright?

Give him the money.

Here.

If you had simply paid
the full amount...

...there would not have
been such a ruckus.

Take the truck inside.

Let it come.

- Make it fast.
- Okay

Here, take this.

Be careful.

This one.

50 boxes in all, bhai.

Okay. Take them inside.

[Man] ‘Okay, sir.
Come on pick them one by one.’

Pakistan has
always ...

[PM] ‘...silenced people...’

...on the basis
of its force.

Their governments might change.

[PM] ‘But their behaviour
does not change.’

- [PM] ‘Keeping with the times...’
- Latest stock from Coorg.

- Give it a try.
- [PM] ‘...have raised our voice.’

[PM] ‘But each time,
the Pakistani army... ’

Let me serve you
something stronger.

What's going to happen?

[PM] ‘They may change governments.’

[PM] ‘But I haven’t seen
them alter...’

[PM] ‘...their attitude towards
Balochsitan.’

[PM] ‘They claim we are
responsible for the clash.’

[PM] ‘But have they stopped
to think..’

Did you know that he would
speak about Balochistan?

[PM] ‘Only there they...’

This was the one difference
between India and Pakistan.

We do not comment
on their internal affairs.

And that’s what they
always take advantage of.

In fact, the entire world
has considered...

..our silence to be our weakness.

[PM] ‘My 125 crore...’

Shailesh, you know very well
that between India and Pakistan...

...we are the nation with a future.

[Shailesh] And we need to secure
that future.

And while we are at it...

...it's time for our neighbours
to wake up...

...and smell the coffee.

[Man in Kashmiri] All well,
brother?

Yes, yes. all well.

Good, good.

Greetings, sir.

Greetings.

Fresh milk will arrive
after an hour.

I can make do with milk powder.

[Babrak] The real one.

I've sent stuff across before.

For Parvez and Naiku.

They are no more.

Leaving me unemployed.

Is there a camp nearby,

[Babrak] from where I can send
this across?

Hey, stop.

Where are you headed?

I've never seen you here before.

How could you?

I've just arrived.

You know Arif, the butcher?

He is my uncle.

He has sent me to cook Nihari.

Hurry. I've got fresh meat.

It'll be a problem
if it loses its freshness.

Check him.

[Man] ‘What’s in this?’

Let him go.

- Where is the kitchen? Thank you.
- Up ahead.

- Greetings.
- Greetings.

Uncle Arif has sent me
to prepare Nihari.

- Where should I keep this?
- Near the stove.

Let me help you.

Do you need help?

To lift the wood?

[phone rings]

Tell me.

Sir, they have k*lled Rasool.

F**k.

Reply only to what I ask you.

You went there to meet three
people, where are the other two?

They are not here.

They left for Kotla
three days ago.

Ko...

You have to go to Kotla.

[Pradeep] ‘As soon as possible.’

As you say, sir.

Sir.

Yes.

I'll call you back.

[CO Sharma] ‘Yes.’

Sir, my source
has been compromised.

They got to him near Chakothi.

[Pradeep] ‘There is more
bad news.’

Zafar has been sent South,
to Kotla.

[CO Sharma] ‘That means,’

they will try to
enter from the Bagh Haveli area.

Moriyan sector.

Sir.

[Imtiaz] Moriyan, Feelan,
Dobang and Gikote.

All these areas
are close to each other.

And they can infiltrate
from anywhere.

I think, we need to cover
this entire stretch.

Let me update Udhampur.

It's on me.

I was the one who
had sent Rasool.

And you should be the one
to avenge his death.

We are the special forces.

We don’t wear this badge...

...of sacrifice for nothing,
Pradeep.

[Imtiaz] ‘Let's finish
what Rasool started.’

To Rasool.

To Rasool.

The printers
have reached Jaipur too.

We’re just waiting for Zafar now.

[Waziri] ‘I'm so proud
of you, Saman.’

I had complete faith in you.

Well done.

Thank you, Professor.

But there is no time to rest.

[Waziri] ‘As soon as
the planes blasts...’

...when the people of India
will be running amok...

That’s when we will get our chance.

[Waziri] ‘To circulate
our currency.’

‘How was your meeting with Punjab?’

Everything is on track, Professor.

Wait for my orders.

[phone ringing]

Yes, madam.

[Parveena] ‘Iqbal,’

go and meet Pritpal.

[Parveena] ‘No matter
what it takes...’

...he should not go off the track.

You got me?

Don't worry, madam.

I'll handle Pritpal.

[Pritpal] Yes, get that.
Lock it there.

It should not move.

Just clean the corners.

- There, at the back. Yes.
- How are you, Pritpal?

What's the matter?
You seem tense.

What are you thinking about?

Do it properly. It should
look like a real ambulance.

Come, brother.

Iqbal, brother,

is the attack
really going to happen?

What do you think?

This is a joke?

What's the matter, Pritpal?

Your conscience has suddenly
awoken today?

That's not it, brother.

The people who buy our stuff
are drug-addicts.

But this..

This could k*ll innocent
people too.

Shut up.
Don't talk nonsense.

Talk softly.

And remember one thing.

If the police come to know
about your drug scandal...

[Iqbal] ‘...everything will come
to an end, at once.’

‘Keep this.’

And make sure your conscience
doesn't wake up again.

Kotla?

But our information
was about Chakothi, right?

This is fresh intel.

[Vaidya] ‘They have taken
Zafar to Kotla.’

We are still waiting
for visual confirmation.

What's the plan?

[Vaidya] ‘We are deploying
recon in Kotla covertly.’

The aim is to cover
every blind spot...

...in the area
and wait for the intel.

How many units?

Two units of SF.

Any idea when this breach
is going to happen?

It's difficult to tell
the exact time frame, sir.

But we hope the wait is not long.

Will two units be sufficient?

If we send too many units,
they can be spotted...

...by enemy scouts and NVGs.

Might be better to keep
them on standby.

We can deploy if needed.

Alright, General.
Sounds like a plan.

Just make sure, not even a shadow
crosses the border.

[Vaidya] ‘Right, sir.’

Kotla, Bagh Haveli sector.

The Northern stretch of this route
has two blind spots.

Feelan and Dobang.

And in the South,
Gikote and Moriyan.

In this entire stretch,
these are the four places...

...where the terrain is often
advantageous for infiltration.

Our focus will be on these areas.

Team Alpha.

- Sir!
- Sir!

We'll be taking
the Southern stretch,

Gikote to Moriyan.

Movement South to North.

- Sir!
- Sir!

- And Team Papa.
- Sir!

We will cover from Feelan
to Dobang in the North.

- Movement, North to South.
- Yes, sir!

This is our main target,
Zafar Hamidi.

And this is his handler,
Mujeed Josh.

Look carefully.

Until we find them...

[Pradeep] ‘...we won’t return.
Is that clear?’

[Commandos] ‘Yes, sir!’

Alright, gentlemen, all the best.

- Jai Hind!
- Jai Hind, sir!

- Pradeep.
- Sir.

So, finally,

your wish is fulfilled.

Thank you, sir.

And I promise,
I won't let you down.

I know you won't. Just...

...don't do anything
over adventurous, okay?

- [Imtiaz] Boys.
- [Comandos] Yes sir.

- All the best. Jai Hind.
- [Imtiaz] All set?

- Jai Hind, sir.
- Yes sir.

[Imtiaz] Let’s go!

Faster.

That’s it.

We should leave tonight,
Captain.

He's getting restless.

Anyway, once this phase
of the moon passes,

it could be dangerous.

I know.

That is why I want to move ahead
only once I am confident.

Sir. General Sir.

Greetings, sir.

[Aziz] ‘You had taken up...’

the responsibility to execute
this plan,Captain Farooq.

[Aziz] But India has made no
movement at Chakothi yet.

They will, Sir.

[Farooq] ‘Please trust me.’

If I didn’t trust you, I would have
already listened to Waziri.

Make sure I don’t lose face,
Captain Farooq..

Goodbye.

This bunker is our base.

Recon starts at 2200 hours.

We have to return here
before dawn.

This is home,
till the homeland is safe.

- Okay, guys?
- Right, sir.

- Papa 1, at base?
- Yes, we have reached base.

Great. Over and out.

Check comms with command centre.

Echo, come in.

Echo to Alpha.
We can hear you loud and clear.

[crickets chirping]

[owl hooting]

[eagle screeching]

Team,

sunrise is at 05:40 hours.

Let's turn back now.

- Careful.
- Yes, sir.

Careful.

[Pradeep] ‘Okay boys.’

- We'll wait...
- Okay sir

...and monitor
from here until sunset.

And each of us will take
two hour shifts.

- Right?
- Right, sir.

- Relax.
- Right, sir.

Alpha 6,

you’re taking
first watch.

Copy, sir.

Any contact?

Not yet, sir.

[Imtiaz] ‘Alpha to Echo, come in.
No movement at Moriyan.’

[Pradeep] ‘Papa to Echo.
All quiet at Feelan.’

[Amrita] ‘Did we get
the visuals on that?’

‘The night vision?’

I want everything.

Yes, we have it.

- And I don't want any...
- Have we got anything?

Sir.

[Amrita] ‘Nothing yet, sir.’

[Babrak] ‘Stop, stop.’

[Driver] ‘This is the stop.’

‘Get off quickly.
Move forward.’

[phone rings]

Yes Babrak, tell me.

[Babrak] ‘Sir, I've reached
Kotla.’

- Good. Now, find out...
- [Babrak] ‘I understand, sir.’

You want to know if those two
people are in Kotla.

[Babrak] ‘And if they are
planning to infiltrate..’

‘..what route
will they take.’

Take care.

Keep an eye on Moriyan,
near the LOC.

[Mujeed] ‘If you see
anything fishy,’

‘inform us immediately.’

[Shepherds] ‘Okay, sir.’

- Thank you, sir.
- Leave now.

You were saying
that the Indian agencies...

...must have moved towards
Chakothi by now.

Zafar, you'll be informed
at the time of departure.

Until then, get some rest.

[Shepherds] ‘There’s no one, sir.’

Okay, you may go.

Okay.

Hello, Riyaz.

Any news from Chakothi?

[Comando] ‘It's been two nights.’

There’s been no movement at all.

Let's do this.

Let's go further, till Dobang.

We'll check there.

Roger that.

[Shailesh] ‘It's been
two nights, General.’

‘Are we chasing our
tails or what?’

The team is on standby, sir.

[Shailesh] Have they found out that
we are waiting for them at Kotla?

Our source is now in Kotla.
We're waiting to hear from him.

Zafar Hamidi was last spotted
at Chakothi, right?

Yes, sir.

Isn’t it possible
that Chakothi was just a bait?

That they wanted us to send
our units there.

It's possible, sir.

Let's give them what they want.

Let's bait with them
with their own bait.

I'll action it immediately, sir.
We'll move the troops to Chakothi.

Sir,

there seems to be movement
near Cruwala.

It seems that their force
is closing the Tambacoowala entry.

Superb.

Yes, Farooq.

[Farooq] ‘Sir, we'll start
our mission tonight.’

The fish is in the net.

Good.

Very good.

But don't underestimate
the Indians.

Zafar's security is most important.

Sir, don't worry.

The situation in under control.

Goodbye.

[Farooq] ‘By the grace of God,
you all have been selected...’

‘...for a very sacred job.’

‘Not everyone is as fortunate.’

‘You'll be divided in two teams.’

‘You'll take two different routes.’

‘You will go out as shepherds
to evade the enemy's satellites.’

‘If you spot an Indian,
k*ll him.’

‘It is your duty
to take Mujeed...’

‘...and Zafar
to the other side safely.’

‘It will be evening by the time
you reach the hills.’

‘You know what you have to do.’

‘God is with you
on this sacred mission.’

- Nara-e-takbeer!
- Allahu Akbar.

- Nara-e-takbeer!
- Allahu Akbar.

[Wajeed] Thank you, sir.

Zafar, don't worry.
This is a routine job for Mujeed.

Your safety is very important
to General Aziz.

Have faith.

Goodbye.

Sanjay.

- Yes.
- What's that?

[Sanjay] ‘Could be sheep or goat.’

[Mujeed] ‘Let’s go.
The shepherds are here.’
