Please, turn off the torch.

Who are these people?

And what are they trying to find in the auditorium?

…watch the movie?

Excuse me! Let me through!

Just…

Please. Just a second.

Excuse me!

Just a second.

-Coffee, please. -We are waiting since long.

Two… two samosas, please.

I don't have any change.

Enough! Come on, move.

-Come on, come on. -Come on, hurry up, get out of here.

-Murtaza… -Arrest him.

Uh… sir…

Didn't you hear me?

-Hmm. -Arrest him.

I can explain, Murtaza--

Sir, please.

Naushad's arrest that night was a massive setback for us.

Without his access and intel, our entire mission was hung by a thread.

All that effort spent building a network of agents,

now at a risk of being compromised.

We knew that the price Naushad was going to pay for his betrayal

would outweigh the huge setback to our mission.

But just before his arrest, he gave us something so valuable,

it tipped the scales and changed the trajectory of our mission completely.

Yeah?

Sir, sorry to bother you at this hour.

No, no, I'm sure it's important. Tell me.

Sir, Pakistan isn't building a nuclear reactor, they're buying one.

They will use the neutralised plutonium from the reactor and will then--

Convert it into weapon-grade plutonium.

Oh, my God!

-Who's the seller? -I don't know, sir, but we're on it.

One more thing, sir. Naushad just got arrested.

And his entire network has been compromised.

That means we'll have to rethink our strategy now.

Because even if we eliminate Dr. Munir, I doubt that it will slow them down.

They'll just find another scientist.

Sir, it… it won't be that easy for them.

Otherwise, we would have found someone to take Dr. Bhabha's place by now.

True.

Vishnu, we have to find out who the seller is.

Who is selling nuclear technology to Pakistan?

I know, sir. But what about Naushad?

What about Naushad? What about him?

We have to help him, sir.

According to you,

Dr. Bhabha or Naushad? Tell me who means more to India?

Judging by your attitude, both are equally important.

Because you're carrying guilt for both of them.

They are buying a nuclear reactor.

We have to move forward.

Naushad is gone.

You have to get over it.

Naik, Faiz Qureshi,

Inaya,

Syed Mirza,

Tauhid Shah, Gulfam Hasan.

Come on, tell me, who else works for you?

Tell me.

Water…

Murtaza, millions of borrowed dollars have already been spent.

Don't expect me to wait any longer.

Sir, I understand.

But, uh…

This is an unknown territory for all of us.

And that is why we have drawn up a new plan.

For which we… I mean, Pakistan has to build up more credibility

in the international market, and we're working on that.

And believe me when I tell you that today,

every French arms manufacturing company, whether big or small,

they want to partner up with Pakistan.

Because they are all aware that Pakistan has the money.

And trust me, no one will be able to track us.

I heard about Naushad.

A spy managed to get so close,

and that, too, in your own home.

Please tell me what to do? What do you think we should do with him?

I trust you to do the right thing.

No matter what, Pakistan's nuclear program should be secure.

Yes, sir.

Maazi, I know you won't forgive me.

Not after everything I did.

But I'm begging you, my friend,

please give me one chance to explain. Huh?

Explain?

Why don't you go and explain yourself to my father?

You know damn well.

He always thought of you as a son more than me.

Do you know that?

In 1965,

when he was out there fighting,

defending our country from the Indians, you know what he said to me?

He said, "My son, Maazi…

you don't worry about your family one bit.

You are very capable of leading your organisation,

but not your family.

That's why I want you to keep Naushad by your side.

Because he understands balance.

He knows how to take good care of both his family and his country."

But you have betrayed your country!

Didn't you even think about your family?

Tabassum, the children…

You didn't think what this will do to them?

Maazi, trust me, all this was my fault. Listen to…

Please don't involve my family in this.

They didn't do anything wrong, Maazi. They were completely in the dark.

I did…

I had no choice, I swear. I didn't--

You had no choice?

Is that what you tell yourself? Huh?

You sold us out to India? How could you do this?!

Photographs…

They have… they have photographs, Maazi.

What kind of photographs?

Of Altamash.

Altamash was with another boy.

They both were…

They were…

Maazi, Maazi, please, if those photographs get out…

then… then who knows what will happen to Altamash?

His future will be ruined. I'm… I'm telling you the truth, Maazi.

Those agents, they… they blackmailed me with the photographs.

I had no choice. I had to do whatever they all… whatever they wanted me to do.

I'm telling the truth, Maazi. I only did all this to protect Altamash.

Naushad, you only have two choices now.

The first is that I arrest you.

The whole country will spit on you.

Your honour, your reputation…

your legacy…

will be dragged through the mud.

And the second…

Maazi, you know my answer.

You already know very well what path I'm going to choose.

Please take care of Altamash, Maazi.

Please take care of my child.

The last bit of intel that Naushad shared with us

made it clear that Pakistan's nuclear program

was moving a lot faster than any of us had estimated.

Vikram?

-We had to block this deal… -Hello.

…at an international level, no matter the risk.

When in France, you must do as the French do.

-Very well. -Such different cultures, isn't it?

But we do have the same objective.

So, my counterpart in Pakistan,

he told me about this guy called Charles de Claude.

And the Pakistanis are supposedly buying arms from him.

And for sure, the business part is being executed in Europe.

What my intel tells me is that the Middle East and African countries

are giving them lots of money to acquire arms.

Now, what I'm wondering is

why are these countries giving them huge amounts of money to acquire arms?

I will get back to you when I have something.

In espionage, the enemy of an enemy

can turn out to be more loyal than your closest friend.

Come here, handsome!

R&AW and Mossad's friendship was a textbook example of this.

And Marya was Mossad's top operative.

Pakistan inching its way towards nuclear capability

was not just India's worst nightmare.

It was also dangerous for Israel.

Marya knew…

…it wasn't a race against time anymore.

What are you doing there?

Tell me, what are you doing there?

It was now or never.

Come here, my darling.

Through Marya, we discovered

that Bilal and Charles De Claude had a common connection, BFCI Bank.

And that caught my attention.

The one thing I couldn't stop thinking about was…

why was Pakistan executing such a big arms deal under the radar,

and routing funds through a shady bank?

There were only two ways we could find the answer.

The BFCI Bank ledgers…

…or Bilal himself.

BFCI may have looked like a regular bank.

But in reality, it was the biggest hub for money laundering in the world.

If funds are being transferred from Pakistan,

then we can get the records and details from BFCI's Pakistan branch.

They're dying to hand over their records, right?

Like we ask, and they'll give us.

Come on, Vishnu, they won't give it to us, right?

But they'll definitely give it to one of their own people.

Looks good! And who are these two?

This is us.

And what's that?

Can't you see? Eiffel Tower, what else?

That's the Eiffel Tower?

You dreamer, the Eiffel Tower!

It's better if you come back to earth, Naseem.

Why don't you dream about something closer?

Just keep quiet. Can't I even dream about it?

Come on, Naseem, don't get upset now.

It breaks my heart.

Is it so easy to melt your heart?

Naseem…

Run away with me?

-Hello? Hello? -Naseem…

Salaam alaikum, ma'am.

-Alaikum as-salaam. -Give…

Uh… I wanted to host a dinner for 40 people.

Can you manage the catering?

Well, we can arrange for 400 also,

but we won't do it.

Check the number before you call someone. Dare you call here again!

-Sorry, sorry. -Come on, hang up.

-Sukhbir's not around? -Naseem.

What was that?

Wrong number. What else?

Naseem, this is my office.

I get hundreds of calls every day.

I've told you so many times. Don't do this when I'm working.

What's wrong? Weren't you in a romantic mood a minute ago?

And now I'm not.

Okay, fine.

I won't come here again.

I won't call you here.

Exactly what I am saying.

-Hello? -Yes, what is it?

Quick question, Rafiq.

Are you here to work with R&AW

or to work on your romance with Naseem? Huh?

First of all, you better speak with some respect.

Okay, okay. Now just listen to me very carefully.

It's about the nuclear mission.

Note down.

Parizad Haider, BFCI Bank, Islamabad branch.

He's the manager there.

We need the ledgers.

-Of the manager? -No.

Of each and every account that is being managed by the bank.

Last six months only.

I can hear every insult you're hurling at me in your head, even from here.

You're asking for six months of information.

What else do you expect?

Have some mercy on me.

Why little? I'll show you a lot of mercy. But listen to what I have to say.

This Parizad has close connections with the folks in the army.

You'll find a way to contact him somehow.

There you go!

We've done half the work for you. Isn't that merciful enough?

So, why don't you just finish the job? Who's stopping you, huh?

Fucking asshole. You think I'm your dog?

Neither do you give me clear instructions, nor you listen to what I am saying.

Listen, Sukhbir! If you act too smart with me, you'll rot in Pakistan itself.

What is wrong with you? Hello? Yeah--

Vishnu, tell him to speak with some respect or never call here again.

Yeah, okay, okay, Sukhbir. Stop.

I need to talk to you about something. It's not about work. Hear me out.

Please don't hang up.

Yes, go ahead!

We managed to reach out to your mother.

We even sent her some gifts in your name.

She was very happy.

She even wanted to send you homemade sweets.

Really?

I can't remember the last time I tasted my mother's food.

Did you meet her? Did you talk to her?

Someone from the department did.

Look, Sukhbir, I understand,

it's really hard to be away from your family.

You're the one keeping me away from them.

I've put in a request on your behalf.

The department will organise a secure line between you and your mother in a few days.

And then, you'll be able to speak to her.

I know you don't think of us as your own.

But we're not strangers either, Sukhbir.

We are with you.

Bye, for now.

Vishnu, listen.

Thank you so much.

You've left me speechless.

Thank you.

Taking the mercy bit too far.

But it was necessary.

He hasn't spoken to his mother in years.

Hello. Salaam alaikum. Who's this?

Alaikum as-salaam. Rizwan sir, it's me, Rafiq.

Hello, Rafiq, how are you?

I'm fine, but, uh, there's a small problem.

Why? What's wrong?

Tell me.

You know that I'm always here to help you. What do you need?

Have you heard of this BFCI Bank? Islamabad branch.

We need the ledgers of the bank. It's about some import-export stuff.

If we get those ledgers, we can make serious profit.

I think there's an officer there. His name is Parizad Haider.

Do you know him?

You tell me, maybe we can pay him off, because it's worth it.

I know Parizad.

Don't worry. I'll talk to him.

By the way, where are you? Tell me.

We should meet soon.

Business is keeping me really busy.

But I'll see you soon.

Alright. See you. Okay, bye.

Bye-bye.

We haven't heard from Papa yet.

Every day, we wake up hoping we'll get some news, but…

You know, sometimes in life,

we have to make some very difficult decisions.

Do you stay in a golden cage,

where you're cared for and safe, but you… you're never truly free?

Or do you break free and fly away?

Your father was a free bird.

How could anyone keep him locked up?

Honestly, Naushad… he was like an elder brother to me.

I don't have the answers to all your questions.

But the only thing I can say to you is…

…stop looking for your father.

I think that will be the best for all of us.

Your father loved you very much, my child.

More than anything else.

I hope you know that, huh?

And he also told me everything about you.

Don't be afraid, Son. Just don't be afraid.

You have Uncle Maazi by your side.

There's nobody who will understand you here.

It'll be best for you if…

you left Pakistan for good.

I've had a word with Ghulam.

A scholarship, a visa… It's all taken care of.

Hmm? You have nothing to worry about.

This is exactly what your father wanted for you, right?

Okay. Everything's gonna be alright.

Sir, Germany has established a new counter-terrorism agency called GSG9.

Hmm.

They've, uh, managed to root out quite a few spy networks.

Hello, sir.

Here.

Here's the file you wanted on Fatima Khan.

Hmm.

I've got the photograph, sir.

She's a journalist with Haqeeqat, isn't she?

That's right. Editor in chief of Haqeeqat.

Fatima Khan.

We need to recruit her.

Sir, recruit the editor of such a reputed newspaper?

She's not just an editor, she happens to be Munir Khan's niece.

She could possibly fill the void that Naushad left.

The only catch is that you can neither bribe nor blackmail her.

She's literally the cleanest person I know.

I've also read quite a few of her articles.

Sir, she has challenged Bhutto openly.

She has also written against the government.

She's clearly not afraid of anyone. Why would she work with us?

Vishnu, the real question isn't whether she will work with us or not.

The question is

will you be able to win her trust and convince her to work with us or not?

If there's even a single sliver of doubt,

I think, drop the idea. Don't do it.

It's your call.

Right, sir.

Yes, sir?

Ajay, uh, when is the NPT summit happening in Moscow?

Uh, sir, next week.

And which Pakistani journalists are attending it?

I'll get the file.

Sir, these three people are going.

Imtiaz Sheikh, Javed Alam and Fatima Khan.

Thank you.

The question shouldn't be about what we're doing.

We should be asking what the outcome will be.

Mr. Rajagopalan? Excuse me, sir.

India has declined to sign the NPT.

Should we take that as a sign

that your government intends to weaponise nuclear energy?

Are you from Pakistan?

Yes. Fatima Khan.

Which newspaper?

Haqeeqat, sir.

Then you need to ask your government this question, Miss Khan.

I'll definitely ask them.

-But today I just wanted to ask-- -Sorry. I'm getting late.

-Ladies and gentlemen, please carry on. -Just this last question, sir--

No more questions, please.

One vodka, please.

That's not how you drink vodka.

Well… I already don't like you.

A man teaching a woman how to do things.

Typical.

That's a pretty big accusation against me.

I wouldn't dare assume I have anything to teach you.

I was just offering help.

Help?

I'm sure I can get you exactly what you're looking for.

What's that?

An interview with Mr. Rajagopalan.

Cheers!

That's how you drink vodka!

Everyone in this room is staring at me.

Can you guess why?

You're beautiful. And they can't keep their eyes off you.

-Are you flirting with me? -Not yet.

It's because of the clothes I'm wearing.

-But I won't change. -I believe you.

But I don't believe you.

First of all, I'm really curious to know who exactly are you.

What matters to you?

What do you stand for?

I don't make friends with anybody so easily.

Okay, tell me, how do you really feel about this treaty?

Especially the US opinion.

If you really want to know how I feel, you need to turn off the recorder first.

This is going to be interesting.

NPT. Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Honestly, I don't see why the US or Russia get to act like referees

and decide what we are and aren't allowed to do.

At the same time, I also strongly believe

that both India and Pakistan don't need a nuclear bomb right now.

We really shouldn't waste our money and resources to weaponise nuclear energy.

What we need is health, education…

And infrastructure.

-Hmm. -Exactly.

We're on the same page. No bombs.

Hey, hey! Keep your voice down.

In times like these, we have to watch what we say. You can't be so open.

I don't know about you, but I'm used to speaking my mind.

Sure.

Hmm…

So, what exactly is this?

I met you just a few minutes ago.

So is this a friendly gesture or

a diplomatic move by a neighbouring country?

Mm-hmm…

Okay, let's just say, it's a step brimming with possibilities.

You should also tell the Soviets to shake hands with us.

And I'm gonna take you out for an authentic Pakistani meal.

You'd never have tasted such delicious--

-As-salaam alaikum, Rizwan sir. -Alaikum as-salaam, Rafiq.

You're already late.

You might as well have come five minutes later.

Well, I had no idea that you were busy.

Killing some time until you got here. What's the deal? Why are you so late?

Come on, sir, you know it takes time to arrange such a lot of cash.

And you don't cut me any slack these days.

Fifty thousand is quite a big amount, Rizwan sir.

Come on, I know it's a big amount, but Parizad is also a big guy.

Indeed.

You're seeing the crowd here? Army, navy, politicians.

All heavyweights are here tonight.

You know the ISI chief, Murtaza Malik? He's a close friend of Parizad's.

-Murtaza? -Hmm.

Come on, Rizwan sir, he can't be here.

Of course, he's here.

Look, there he is.

So, I take it that you know him personally?

-Yes, we worked together for six months. -Hmm.

He leaves quite an impression.

I've also heard a lot about him.

You know, as long as I worked under him, I didn't touch anything off the books.

Or I'd be a dead man.

You don't need to say a word. One handshake…

and Murtaza can read you like an open book.

Don't be nervous.

-I'll introduce you to him. -Why would I be nervous?

It's not like I am the enemy.

Hi, Parizad! Come along.

-Meet Murtaza, he's my friend. -Parizad!

Oh, Rizwan, how are you?

Congratulations to you, my friend!

Thank you.

By the way, Parizad, I want you to meet a friend of mine. You know, he's a…

Where did you disappear that night? Hmm?

Here. Take this.

Uh… Rizwan sir, I was feeling a little unwell.

And also, you looked quite busy. I didn't want to get in your way.

Are you done?

I know you well enough by now.

There was some other reason.

Hurry up and tell me the truth.

Rizwan sir…

sometimes I feel ashamed of myself.

I mean, the kind of work I do…

Turn black money into white just to make some extra cash.

And you wanted me to meet Murtaza Malik,

the most honest man around here.

You know something? I don't even file my taxes honestly.

How could I have possibly looked him in the eye?

And then you told me that, uh,

he can see through a person with just a handshake.

Rizwan sir, what…

What was I supposed to do?

I'm sorry about what happened.

Not many would admit that, Rafiq.

You're really something else.

Anyway, I managed to talk to Parizad. Hmm?

It's all set. You'll get your ledgers.

It's fixed at 75,000.

But, Rizwan sir, you agreed to 50,000 earlier.

Now I am saying 75.

Is there a problem?

No, there's no problem.

"Blessed be the sacred land."

As long as we get the ledgers.

Huh!

And then, a new operation kicked into high gear.

We started receiving BFCI ledgers in broad daylight,

right under Pakistan's nose and no one caught on.

You would have made an excellent smuggler.

People think espionage is about intelligence and courage,

but what it really pushes to the breaking point

is your patience.

We had to go through every file and transaction with a fine-tooth comb,

for any possible link to the sale of the nuclear reactor.

It sounded like a straightforward job, but nothing about it was easy.

At home, it felt like I was living with a stranger.

My wife and I hardly exchanged a word.

And at work, there was no stopping,

just constant paperwork that refused to slow down.

In the midst of all this, a quiet fear began to eat away at me.

What if we fail?

What if Pakistan gets the nuclear reactor

while we are busy looking for a needle in a haystack?

God, Vishnu…

you know I have a degree in commerce.

Fact is, I hated "Account" so much

that I didn't attend a single class in three years.

Yeah, that's quite obvious.

Two nights and not a wink of sleep.

I'm… I'm exhausted.

These ledgers are exhausted.

All of us are exhausted.

Sukhbir has sent more files.

That asshole Sukhbir! Is he trying to get back at all of us?

What is this?!

Just… just look at this place, Vishnu!

You go home and relax. I'll deal with this.

How do you want me to relax, man?

Bilal is the one who's relaxing in Paris,

while we're all losing sleep here.

I don't know what he's doing there.

Every second day, he goes to the bank, and the rest of the time, he's partying.

Wow.

Come on! Give me one as well.

Yes, sir.

Brilliant.

-What… Who, me? -I think you cracked it pretty much.

Thank you, but what brilliant thing did I say?

These ledgers are from the past few days, right?

Yes, sir.

I need dates and details of the days when Bilal visited the Paris branch.

Two or three days before Bilal was spotted at the BFCI, Paris branch,

some unusually large transactions were made at the BFCI Karachi.

Bilal was there in Paris on January 11th.

Sixty-seven thousand dollars.

Again, on January 28th.

On January 25th, 1.5 million dollars.

-Show him data for February. -Sir.

The moment we got our hands on this data,

Bilal became our most high-profile target.

Kao sir gave us the green signal to expand R&AW's field operations in Paris,

and we wasted no time in putting Bilal under 24-hour surveillance.

Two, eight and 14…

This is to the tune of millions of dollars.

Exactly.

And all these transactions have happened through various different companies.

Petroleum, handicraft, electronics.

And all of these are Bilal's companies.

Bilal doesn't own any of them. Show him the company names.

Sir, here's the list of the companies.

"Sky Indus, Fauzan Fertilisers, Zphora Bank Limited…"

Have you heard of any of these companies before?

No, I haven't.

You know, the most interesting thing is that all these companies

have accounts in BFCI Bank,

but in different countries.

They are all shell companies.

And where is all of this going? How do we find that out?

Sir, millions of dollars have been moved discreetly

through these accounts over the past eight months.

And you think that this money is going to be used to buy nuclear technology?

I don't think so, I'm sure of this, sir.

Pakistan has been cleverly moving money under the radar.

Right, but the question is, where?

Unless we find out who the receiver is, the information you have is quite useless.

I know that, sir.

And that's why we need access to the BFCI Paris branch records.

Let me guess, you need to bribe someone to do that.

Better drop the idea.

I can't give you more money.

Sir, we just need to buy this last record.

Manage with what you have, or find another way.

-I'll try, sir. -Good.

Do you know what it's like to reach the final stretch of a race

and stumble just before the finish line?

I was feeling exactly the same.

Despite having clear intel

that Pakistan was funding its nuclear technology through BFCI Bank,

our hands were tied.

One million dollars? Are they crazy or what?

They're not crazy. They're European.

Unlike us, they're not gonna give us information for a small amount of money.

Okay, there are other ways of extracting information.

There's no time to threaten or play games right now.

That leaves us with only one option.

Vishnu, are you joking or something?

This is not a local bank where you show a gun and scare people off.

Yes, I know. That's the reason I picked you for the job.

We have to break in.

Hmm.

So guys, I went to BFCI.

I was looking for places one could break in.

And I scanned all potential ways.

WITHDRAWAL DEPOSIT

Now, the good part is,

because of their shady clients and illegal activities,

they don't have any cameras inside.

But with the kind of security they have,

it's very hard to get in and out without getting noticed.

Thanks.

But I have an idea.

It's risky. No, it's actually life-threatening.

And if you get caught…

I don't know you, and you don't know me.

We have a plan?

As I said, I do have a plan.

Let's see how we can pull this off.

You mean… pull this off without getting killed?

Well… hopefully.

Come on.

Come on, let's go.

Hi.

-Found Anything? -Not yet.

Jimpa, come here!

Look at this.

What is it?

"HGN?"

What the hell is HGN?

Sir…

all the funds that the ISI deposited through its shell companies in BFCI

ended up in a single account.

And that account belongs to HGN.

We've confirmed that HGN is the company

selling the nuclear reactor to Pakistan, sir.

I know. I've heard of them.

They are a France-based corporation. They deal in nuclear technology.

The same corporation that helped China to become a nuclear power.

This is serious, Vishnu.

Do we know how much money has been transferred so far?

Not yet, sir.

It's becoming extremely challenging to chase the paper trail.

It'll take a lot of time.

I think…

we'll have to exert international pressure and somehow try to sabotage this deal.

Okay.

I'll have a word with Madam Prime Minister.

Let's see what we can do.

Meanwhile, it's even more important for us that we have a source inside the PAEC.

What do you think? Can we get Fatima on board?

I'm hopeful, sir.

Wonderful. Let's hope for the best.
