The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Sometimes, even if your heart is set on doing the right thing,

you might still end up hurting someone in the process.

But I guess I didn't realise that the first time I met Sukhbir.

Sukhbir Singh Gill.

Sukhi.

You know, someone told me that…

"Sukhi can talk his way out of anything."

I… I'm sorry, who are you?

Vishnu Shankar.

Don't overthink this. I just want to chat with you.

What do you want to chat about?

Mr. Singh, who the hell is this man?

You don't trust me to take a piss outside this prison cell,

but you trust this guy?

I can't believe it!

Bloody "money talks," doesn't it?

You're here in jail, acting like nothing matters to you.

But your mother…

Do you have any idea what she's dealing with out there?

Besides, have you forgotten you owe 50,000 rupees?

How will you repay the money?

How… How do you know this?

-And what did you say to my mother? -I know you didn't do anything wrong.

Unfortunately for you, the Hong Kong firm you invested in

turned out to be a shell company for a militant group.

As far as the government and legal system is concerned,

you're nothing but a terrorist.

You better watch what you're saying!

My father, Subedar Satnam Singh, was a martyr.

Not some fugitive.

How could I be a terrorist? Tell me!

But I never said you were.

But that's how the law sees you.

You can try to fight the law, but how long will that last?

That's where I come in.

I can get you out of here today, right now, in fact.

No case will be filed.

I only have one condition that you…

you will have to work for us for the next five years.

For R&AW.

Research and Analysis Wing.

What the hell is that?

It's India's intelligence agency.

And what will I have to do?

Same thing that you've always done. Something you know well. Trading.

You'll buy shares, sell shares, make a profit. But not here.

At the Karachi Stock Exchange.

Pakistan?

You'll live in Pakistan, but work and spy for us.

You'll be given a new name and identity.

And what if I don't want to do it?

Hmm.

You haven't been able to live up to your father's name.

But your poor mother

will be known as the mother of a terrorist for as long as she lives.

I'm offering you a way out, Sukhbir.

Work with us and do something meaningful.

Remember one thing,

our country's safety comes first.

We're willing to go to any lengths.

Just as ready to take a life as we are to give up our own.

Sukhbir?

-Did you…? -Yes, I killed him.

And myself, too.

I've committed fraud, I've laundered money,

made a lot of bad choices.

But I've never killed someone.

I understand.

What the hell do you understand?! How do you know? Have you killed someone?

Have you killed someone? Tell me!

I know that there's nothing…

nothing that can really justify killing someone.

But sadly, this is our life now.

And this is our job.

Forget about explaining it to others, we can barely explain it to ourselves.

That's why I keep telling you, the more you think about it, the worse it'll get.

The more you try to justify yourself, the heavier the guilt.

Just look at the bigger picture.

No, Vishnu.

You look at the smaller picture.

Naseem lost her mother and her father.

Her brother was all she had left.

Her whole world.

Naseem is everything to me.

And I just destroyed her entire world, Vishnu.

-Please don't let your emotions get-- -I don't want to hear it.

Just stop talking.

I'm not going anywhere.

Vishnu, I'll do whatever you want me to do.

I'm ready to work for you for my entire life.

But promise me one thing.

If we find ourselves in a tight spot someday,

and you know we will…

please leave Naseem out of this.

I want you to promise me.

Naseem will stay out of this.

I promise.

Naseem.

-Rafiq! Rafiq! Rafiq! -Naseem.

Rafiq.

He's always watching over you, Naseem.

Be strong.

Don't worry.

How can I not worry, Rafiq?

How?

They're saying that my brother killed himself.

He would never do that.

You… you met him, right?

Was he… worried about something?

Mm-hmm.

But then… wh… why?

I'm with you, Naseem.

Have you all paid your respects?

What's he saying?

Hmm?

Leave. I want everyone out of here.

Throw all of them out.

Search the damn place.

-But who are you people? -Come on, out, everyone!

-What exactly are you searching for? -Come on, get up!

-You need to leave. -Rafiq, tell them.

What's the matter, sir? This is an army officer's home.

-Vacate the room! Make it quick! -We are also army officers.

Sir, please show some respect for the dead.

Who are you?

A relative?

Yes, sir.

-We suspect that he's a spy. -He's a spy?

It's a legal matter. Let us handle it. Understood?

Everyone else, please leave from here.

-Out of the room! -What are they saying? Rizwan--

It's a misunderstanding. I'll talk to them. Don't worry. It's okay.

Sir.

We found Russian bugs here.

Russian bugs mean R&AW.

How are these fucking R&AW agents everywhere?

Everyone's a suspect. We can't trust anyone. It's a mess.

Parizad should have informed us sooner.

-Bag the evidence. -Yes, sir.

Sir.

This is Rafiq Ahmed.

Rizwan's sister's fiancé.

Hello, sir.

What do you do, Rafiq?

I'm a broker, sir, at the Karachi Stock Exchange.

Do you suspect anybody?

Anyone new that Rizwan spent his time with?

I didn't…

really notice anything.

But I don't think Rizwan sir would commit suicide.

No, he didn't.

Somebody murdered him and hung him there.

Murdered him?

He had been spying for India.

What are you saying, sir?

What do we… do with the body?

Sir, can I speak to you outside, please?

Just say what you have to.

Sir, I know that you're far more experienced than me.

But please, at least respect our funeral traditions.

Rizwan sir is going to take all his secrets to the grave.

But his sister is still so young.

People will start assuming the worst possible things.

And Naseem is just…

Sir, her brother was the only family she had in this world.

Sir, please don't be so harsh on her. That's all I'm asking for.

I'm absolutely sure…

I… I'm sure that you'll catch the real culprit very soon.

Then drag him out and hang him in the middle of the street.

Show the world, especially India,

exactly what happens when someone betrays us.

One day, for sure.

Go.

Go, get ready for the funeral now.

I'm so grateful, sir.

While Sukhbir had just rescued

our mission from total disaster in Pakistan…

Bloody asshole.

…on the opposite side of the world,

Kao sir was moving heaven and earth to derail the HGN agreement.

His best shot at making this happen

was American Secretary of State, Henry Alfred Kissinger.

You know, the fact I'm here means it's a crisis.

They're very close to making a mushroom cloud.

And you know, a bomb in Pakistan's hands will be a disaster for the entire world.

Unless you put pressure on France

to go back on the HGN deal with Pakistan.

Do you know the thing about smoking, Kao?

Cigar smoke… it always bothers the other person,

even if that person is himself a smoker.

Still it pinches him like a knife.

Makes him squirm, uncomfortable.

Meanwhile, the smoker is enjoying every moment.

This tells us something quite interesting about human nature.

We really only care about damage and harm

when somebody else is doing a thing.

All about your ambitions to build a nuclear weapon, Kao.

You just came here to complain,

because, well, your enemy is moving faster than you.

No.

That's not true at all.

Isn't it?

There can never be a good use for a nuclear weapon, Kao.

It is the biggest mistake that humanity has ever made.

The best that we can hope for is that

some future generation is going to pay for it

if they survive the nuclear holocaust.

Mr. Kissinger,

let me assure you,

India has no intention of making a bomb.

NPT is the thing.

Simply no nukes.

Why don't you sign it

and show the world that you don't need nuclear weapons in your garden?

Mr. Kissinger, I'm a lowly government employee.

NPT is way beyond my pay order.

You could talk to Madam Prime Minister.

Yes.

I promise you, I'll try my best.

Well… try is all we can do.

Highly appreciate it.

-Thank you for your time. -Bye, Mr. Kissinger.

We can't enter the HGN.

We can't take the law in our own hands.

We don't have a single agent inside the ISI.

Why doesn't Kao sir see the mess we're in?

Now we have only one move left, to take on the HGN directly.

What?

What? Tell me, come on!

I don't know.

There's a way, but it's too risky. We can't do it.

Risky?

Someone once told me that,

"If we are worried about risks, then what are we doing in this job?"

But I'm not talking about risking my life.

If this idea doesn't work, it can start a war with ISI.

It might blow up big time.

What can get bigger than a nuclear bomb, Vishnu?

You're right.

What can get bigger than a nuclear bomb?

Connect me to Vikram.

Vikram? Why?

It's time we showered some love on Bilal in Paris.

-What can I get for you? -One martini, please.

Uh, a regular martini?

-Here you go. -Thank you.

You're welcome.

Hmm?

And life is so full of surprises.

You don't expect one, but it just pops up.

-Mm-hmm… -Just like you.

Mm-hmm. And there's so much more to come.

Yes.

-After you. -Thank you.

Hmm.

Hey!

-Hey! -What?

-Pull it! -Help me!

Pull!

-Let us help. -No, no, guys. We'll handle it. It's okay.

Yeah, easy, easy.

-Thank you. -Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much.

Bilal, what's really going on between Pakistan and HGN?

I don't know anything about HGN, or any delivery.

I don't know anything!

I know you are Indians.

Indians smell…

bloody desperate.

-You asshole-- -Hmm.

Now listen, Bilal.

I'm not going to stop until you give us every last bit of information.

But I want you to think long and hard about how much pain you can take.

Got it?

When Murtaza…

When Murtaza realises I'm missing…

…you're all going to be in so much pain.

Murtaza will…

He's going to break…

Murtaza will what?

-Bilal? Bilal? -Hey! Get up!

Sir.

-What's this? -Sir, the port's permission letters.

Hmm. I'll go through them.

Sir?

Hmm?

Is everything all right?

Bilal was supposed to call back, but no word yet.

We need an update on HGN.

I'll look into it. You go.

Okay, sir.

I don't have the exact timeline, Vishnu.

But, according to Bilal, very soon.

We're running out of time here. I could continue torturing him, but--

No.

That will just be a waste of our time.

I know what will push him to talk.

-Do you know what to do? -Yes.

Think of this job as a test. Okay?

If you are successful, I'll make it worth your while.

Just focus on your mission.

This is the child. Take a good look.

They're all in uniform, so make sure you take the right one.

Okay, but then whose plan is this?

That's not important, you get the job done.

But it is so crowded.

How do we pick up the child without anyone seeing us?

Hmm.

-Hi, Champ! How are you? -Hi.

-Would you like to act in movies? -Yes.

I don't think we can wait much longer.

-Omar? -Yes, sir?

Give Bilal a call.

Yes, sir.

What are you doing?

Come on, the director's waiting for you.

-Where? -Just little ahead.

-Look at this. Do you like it? -Yeah.

Our director is really amazing. He is inside the van. Say hello to him.

-Hi. What's your name? -Hello, Uncle.

-Mohammad Aamir! -Oh, that's great!

-Any luck yet? -Sir, he's not answering his phone.

Don't make scary faces. You have to look scared.

That's better. Click.

Call all the agents right now. Tell them to go and check Bilal's room.

Right, sir.

Little more. Louder.

Very good. Move a little to your right.

I want you to go and check if Bilal's in his room. Right now!

Okay, sir. Checking.

Look scared.

Got it?

That was great! You're such a good actor.

I'm pretty sure you'll be a superstar when you grow up.

Got to give it to you, Vishnu.

Your boy has got the job done in record time!

No!

Let him go. He's not done anything wrong.

You have no more than ten seconds, Bilal.

Get on the phone and tell your bosses that you're absolutely fine.

Or we'll be putting a bullet through your son's head.

Sir, let me try.

The moment I get any update, I'll inform you.

Break the door down.

Ten… nine… eight…

Hello? Bilal?

Give it to me.

Bilal, where the hell were you? Are you out of your mind? Huh?

We've been trying to reach you desperately!

Everyone's on edge here. Where were… What's wrong with you? Say something!

Uh, sorry, sir.

I was at a club last night.

It got late, so…

I didn't hear the alarm. I overslept. I just… just woke up, sir.

Bilal,

you need to stop messing around. I'm done with you! Huh?

Just lock the final terms and conditions of the payment. Hmm?

If you make me come back to Paris, I'll put a bullet right between your eyes.

Then no alarm will ever be able to wake you up!

Yes, sir.

You're not off the hook yet, Bilal.

Your son's not safe until you talk to us and tell us everything you know.

Am I clear?

-Am I clear? -Hmm.

HGN is a nuclear reactor manufacturer.

Things are going well between them and Pakistan now.

They're supplying Pakistan with a reactor and fission data as well.

I was only recruited to help our country win them over, that's all.

And I was placing bulk orders for arms in the market

to create trust that… Pakistan has no shortage of funds.

HGN noticed this and took the bait.

And they connected with us…

to close the nuclear deal, just like we had planned.

Fifty…

We made a deal for 50 million dollars.

That way, without any tests,

we'd become a nuclear state, and no one would even find out.

By now,

half the payment has already been made.

The hardware will be transported through Oceanic Shipments.

Bilal, what's the delivery date?

I don't know.

Bilal! Tell me the date.

I swear on my son…

Murtaza has compartmentalised the entire operation.

Everyone only knows as much as their job requires.

Bilal! Tell me the date!

The payment is complete.

The delivery can happen at any time now.

Sir, we are at it.

We are in touch with the police all the time.

We got this picture from the Paris desk.

Our agents have been able to identify this girl.

This girl in this picture was the last person to be seen with Bilal.

She is a Mossad agent, sir.

Mossad is supporting R&AW in this operation.

We have a piece for the Big Story section.

A war has broken out after Bhutto's coalition came into power.

Thousands of Balochis are fighting some 70,000 government troops.

Around 1000 Balochis

and 300 government troops have been killed.

We're fortunate that our government doesn't have any nuclear weapons yet.

Just imagine what would happen if it ever fell into their hands?

Mr. Bhutto?

Hello, Mr. Kissinger.

You know, I don't want countries acquiring nuclear weapons.

Mr. Kissinger, I don't understand what you're talking about.

You are trying to acquire weapons-grade plutonium.

I would like to see you remain in power for a long time, Mr. Bhutto.

Please don't make me change my opinion.

Bilal has been killed, Kissinger just gave me a call.

What is going on, Murtaza?

Sir, we know exactly who's behind all of this.

I don't care.

Your plan has been compromised, Murtaza.

These bloody Indians are on it.

We are looking at a political crisis now.

Kissinger is definitely going to sabotage this deal.

Under such circumstances, ensure that the parts reach Pakistan at the earliest.

You have clearance to use any means necessary to make it happen.

But make sure that the cargo lands here intact.

If anything goes wrong with the plan, Murtaza,

you can go dig yourself a grave in the sands of Thar!

Fatima printed the advertisement in the paper.

Good job, Vishnu.

Double the security at the lab.

Until our shipment has been dispatched,

the HGN facility has to be under surveillance, 24/7.

Mr. Bhutto's orders were clear.

We have no room for errors here.

Information will be shared with people strictly on a "need to know" basis.

Initiate Project 090.

The job will be divided into sectors,

so that the job cannot be backtracked once it's completed.

Shift to level 6. Ready to move.

R&AW agents will try to intercept us.

So, I've made some small changes in the dispatch plan.

Twenty-two trucks will leave the facility,

but different parts of the reactor

will only be loaded into three of these trucks.

Listen, everyone. We have new intel.

We have the details of the date and place of dispatch.

We can't risk French authorities finding out about this.

So, the shipment will be moved

through rural back roads and finally reach the port.

Intercepting them in French territory

is completely off-limits.

Kao sir will never sign off on that.

What about… the sea route, sir?

Isn't that the biggest risk?

I'm not worried about that.

Murtaza is deliberately routing the shipment

through France's biggest shipping company, Oceanic.

Oceanic has a thousand ships sailing across the world every day.

Yes, and what's more interesting

is that none of their ships are booked to travel directly to Pakistan

over the next few days.

That leaves us with only one option.

We'll have to intercept the cargo when it arrives at a port in Pakistan.

I want you to deploy more security at the Karachi port.

For the next three days, 24/7, I want teams patrolling there.

Murtaza is very smart.

He won't bring the cargo to the Karachi port.

He'll use the Gadani shipbreaking yard instead.

But the Gadani port doesn't have a cargo-landing facility.

Look at this.

Pakistan government is developing the Gadani shipbreaking yard

into a full-fledged port.

But, sir, it'll take them years to have the port completely ready.

-Exactly, sir. -Vishnu!

They don't actually need a fully operational port for landing.

They need a large container crane that can simply shift the cargo.

Look at this. This is what Gadani looked like last year.

There's no crane here.

And this is a photo taken by Khushdil two days ago.

And now the crane has appeared.

I want you to, uh, find out when the was crane installed.

New or old, all the workers need to be background checked.

Anyone comes without an ID, deny them entry.

But, Vishnu, there's still one problem.

Yes, I know. We're going to need the exact delivery date.

Because there are 1,235 sea routes across the world,

over which thousands of ships carry five billion tons of cargo every day.

First of all,

without a solid timeline, there is simply no other way

in which we can identify the ship or port

sending HGN's cargo into Pakistan.

And secondly,

if we fail to stop the ship from leaving the dock,

we won't be able to stop a nuclear attack on India.
