IDs?

Don't be so sad, Dad.

Look at me.

I am also suspended,

but I'm still happy.

As if you like going to school.

Both of our situations are the same.

I am telling you that we will both bounce back.

I miss my phone.

Try doing a social media detox.

-Look who's talking! -The TC is coming here.

One second.

Here.

Take this.

What is this?

Take it.

Wow.

Dad, do we also have fake passports?

What if we have to flee the country?

Can you turn your volume down?

Everybody doesn't need to know.

Shriya.

Really? Was this the best you could come up with?

Even my name sucks.

Suman!

-Isn't that a girl's name? -Why were you ready with fake IDs?

Did you know all of this was going to happen?

Mutthalagu?

Really?

Anja-ne-yulu?

What kind of name is this?

It's a fake ID.

Once it does its job, we can just get rid of them.

Show me yours.

Wow!

Rahul!

Why do you get to be a movie star?

Mine sounds so made up.

Please shut up.

Understood.

IDs.

Sir.

Hey!

Are you from Chittoor?

Yes… Chittoor.

I am also from Chittoor.

Myself, Maridesh Babu.

Are you from proper Chittoor?

Yes, absolutely. Proper.

Where do you live in Chittoor? Address?

Address?

Mahatma Gandhi Road.

-Mahatma Gandhi. -Oh!

Gandhi Road.

Yes.

It's been years since I had Chittoor Palakova from Vijaya Dairy.

It is amazing.

Is Vijaya Dairy still open?

Yes.

-You don't know Telugu? -What?

You don't speak Telugu?

The thing is, Maridesh, my...

Babu.

Maridesh Babu.

In Telugu, saying 'Babu' is very important.

Mahesh Babu. Mohan Babu. Naga Babu. Chandra Babu.

Sorry, 'Babu'. Got it.

So the thing is, Maridesh Babu,

when I was in the 4th grade. I was...

Suspended.

He got suspended in primary school?!

He did something really messed up.

I can't tell you what it is.

So please don't ask.

No, no. Please don't ask.

Okay.

Enough, all right.

Enough damage has been done to my reputation.

It's all right. It's all right.

Yes, Anjaneyulu,

we accept you the way you are. It's fine.

May Lord Venkatachalapati help this Anjaneyulu!

And what do you do, Rahul?

I'm a life and relationship counselor.

-Is that a real job? -Yes. Life and Relationship coach.

Why don't you coach your friend, sir?

I've spent half my life doing just that.

But what a strange coincidence, right?

That your hometown is Chittoor.

You could have just as easily been from Agra, Nagpur…

But, no, you are from Chittoor itself.

Right?

Anjaneyulu.

You are very lucky to have such a gentleman as a friend.

And you have a beautiful family.

It was very nice meeting you, sir.

-Okay, bye, sir. Happy journey. -Bye. Take care.

Wow! That was so cool, Dad.

You are such an expert at lying.

You can take the next question. Yes, you.

Geeta Gautam. INBC.

Besides banning Chinese-funded apps,

does your government have any other solid plans to stop the enemy?

I can't divulge secrets pertaining to national security to you, can I now?

But, ma'am, head of MCA-S, Stephen Khuzou,

outwitted the police and escaped right in front of the media.

Do you have anything to say about that?

I apologize,

I wasn't able to go and personally arrest Stephen Khuzou.

Mr. Kulkarni…

Was a dear friend of mine…

And also a decorated soldier of the country.

We'll bring his murderers to justice very soon.

Our agencies are working night and day on this.

And I have complete faith in them.

I have made big promises out there,

but has the investigation moved forward at all?

We are making progress, ma'am. Some arrests have been made.

We are combing the Northeast to find Stephen Khuzou.

And like you said,

he will very soon be in our custody.

And Srikant Tiwari?

Wasn't I supposed to meet him?

Ma'am, this month is completely packed.

I'm trying to find a window for that meeting.

Please make this meeting a priority.

Okay. I'll try to fix a time as soon as possible.

-Varaprasad… -Ma'am.

What do I do with this circus?

Social media has entirely changed the optics.

Now, we really have to do something.

What do I do?

Should I go to the border myself, to fight a war?

-No, no, ma'am. That is not what I meant. -Actually, that's not a bad idea, ma'am.

You should tour that region yourself.

And like Varaprasad said,

the people there should feel that

no matter what happens, you stand with them.

Yes, ma'am. That's a great idea.

It's good for your image.

What are you doing here?

Don't you know how to play football?

-Hey, Champo! -Yes, bhai.

Take him with you and teach him football.

-Okay, bhai. -Run along.

Bobby, come here.

-Hello. -Rukma.

Who's speaking?

Rabbit said you wanted to talk to the client.

Yes.

Put your boss on the line. I don't talk to secretaries.

I am the boss. Tell me, what do you want to talk about?

No wonder!

It's a circus out here.

Get to the point.

Absolutely. I am getting to the point, madam.

I was told right from the start

that under no circumstances would I be implicated.

But I have been.

Those bastards brought an entire army to my house.

I know. That was unfortunate.

Unfortunate? What does that mean?!

Someone from your side ratted me out to the cops.

This is your fuck up,

so you need to find out which dumbfuck ratted me out.

At the time of the attack, you left one man alive.

That man is now a pain in everybody's neck.

And I am the one cleaning up after your mess.

So this is your fuck up.

If anyone spoke to me like this to my face,

I would've shot them in the ass.

Really?

Long before your mom started wiping your little ass,

I was fucking up bigger men than you.

So please wave your alpha male flag somewhere else

and get to the business at hand.

Your Hindi is as good as mine.

If only my English were at par with yours,

they'd have made a web series on me by now.

We should meet.

We should meet, madam.

Check your account.

I've just transferred half a million pounds.

For what?

For the next part of the plan.

What do you mean by 'the next part'?

And who decided the price?

This is just an advance.

The remaining will be sent according to the price you say.

Just like that, without any negotiations?

My time is more valuable than money.

And this job is even more crucial than the last one.

All right.

But this time, I'll work with only my boys.

And yes, don't forget your end of the bargain.

I want a name. No matter what.

No matter who it is.

He killed my wife.

Wife?

What do you mean by 'wife'?

'Wife' means wife.

Oh.

I thought… I'm sorry.

I don't need your 'sorry'. I want a name.

Srikant Tiwari.

Srikant Tiwari!

But I am handling this.

You will have your revenge. You have my word.

Were you up all night?

I've been thinking about Kareem.

Kareem?

You and I both know that Kareem was innocent.

But in the eyes of the world, he was a terrorist.

And now, in God's little game of life,

my family and I

are now anti-nationals, traitors,

in the eyes of the world.

What happened with Kareem…

Was not your fault alone.

It was because of all of us.

And we felt terrible about it back then, we still do, and we always will.

But it's pointless to wallow in the past now.

Think of the future.

-We have to catch that bastard Rukma... -Rukma is just a pawn, Talpade.

A much bigger game is afoot here.

And Kulkarni sir's murder

was just the start.

There's someone out there, someone very powerful.

They hacked the TASC system,

tracked my phone,

and manipulated the media to target me and my family.

I'll be honest.

It's been a long time since I felt terrified like this.

Not for myself.

Not for myself.

We knew before signing up for the job that

the line between life and death is just a bullet.

And that fucking bullet can come from anywhere and bite you in the ass.

I'm worried for my family.

They've been dragged into this.

The poor things have unnecessarily…

I'm on the run with my wife and two little kids.

If anything happens to them…

"You always think so negatively!"

You used to tell me this, Tiwari.

Now, why are you being so bloody negative?

Everything will be all right. Wait and watch.

Srikant Tiwari. Suchitra Tiwari. JK Talpade.

Get their bank details and track their transactions,

credit cards, debit cards, UPI transactions, all of it.

Sir, we've scanned the entire system.

It was a full clean sweep. There's nothing there.

We went to their house as well, but didn't find anything.

Come on, Vineet, give me something.

Sir, we have this list.

These are a bunch of IDs that have been issued to Srikant by the department.

And these are JK's IDs, sir.

Upload all of these IDs to the Railway Police database and alert them.

Also, inform NHAI.

I want them to tap all the toll booths and bus stations on the way out of Mumbai.

And if the CCTVs pick up anything,

I want to know immediately.

Srikant sir won't use department-issued IDs.

And you are?

Zoya Ali. Analyst, TASC.

Yatish.

These are Srikant Tiwari's unofficial IDs.

There's a chance that he will use one of these.

They won't be in the system.

I thought everyone in this office was a fan of Srikant Tiwari.

I'm not.

Run these as well.

On it, sir.

Nice shot.

Sameer.

Long time, no see. You look exactly the same.

And you've gotten younger, man.

What can I say? Divorce suits me.

Do the Chinese know you are here?

Nobody knows.

Sounds serious.

What can I do for you?

Let's go for a walk.

She's hot.

Don't know who she is but…

Maybe you can find out about her.

Why would I do that?

I have something that may be of interest to you.

Oh, I'm all ears.

I can get you a list of Chinese sleeper cells operating in America.

The hackers who hacked into the Pentagon systems?

They are not just hackers, Bruce.

These are Chinese students who came to American universities

and later spread to Silicon Valley tech companies.

They work in cells that operate independently.

And now, they are waging a silent war against America on American soil.

You've been hunting for these phoenixes for what,

a decade now?

All right.

I guess we could help each other out.

I'll see what I can find out about Meera.

What?

I never mentioned her name, Bruce.

While the Basu government is all set to visit Nagaland,

the opposition parties are questioning the timing of the visit.

Is this just for optics?

Ma'am, this is your itinerary.

A grand rally has been arranged for your welcome in Kohima.

As soon as you land, we'll visit the rally grounds straight away.

The CM and other dignitaries will meet you there.

Here is a draft of your speech.

Sorry to interrupt, ma'am.

But this is important.

-Take a seat. -Thank you.

Do you want some tea?

No.

What is it?

Srikant Tiwari is wanted for questioning in Kulkarni's case.

What?

So it is no longer possible to schedule a meeting with him.

We can arrange a backdoor meeting, right?

I've heard he's an expert on the matters of the northeast.

-Right, Mr. Sambit? -He's a wanted man now.

There's an arrest warrant issued in his name,

and he's absconding.

We are trying to trace him.

Until they don't find him or he doesn't surrender,

there is nothing we can do.

Sir,

Zoya was right.

We got a hit on one of the IDs she gave.

-Are you sure? -Yes, sir.

I ran a pattern search on all the IDs and discovered that

he booked train tickets using this ID,

for Valluvan Express.

Srikant is going to Chennai, sir.

Call the RPF,

tell them to get him at the next stop.

Yes, sir.

Seven.

-It's your turn. -Color change.

Plus two.

What the hell!

-Five. -Five.

Here's a skip.

I'm changing the color again.

Yellow.

Plus four.

What?

-I have a lot of them. -One sec.

No problem.

Sis, will you join us?

Your sister is a grown-up now.

What happened? Are you hungry?

Dad,

can I ask you something?

Yes.

Why are you and Mom separating?

Dhriti, we can't talk about this now.

Okay?

Dad, please.

-I am not a kid anymore. -Really?

You know I can handle it.

Tell me.

My child,

marriage is…

Really complicated.

Sometimes, no matter how hard you try,

you can't fix it.

Dad, please.

Just tell me how it became a mess?

I married her,

but I was never really present.

From the wedding to taking care of both our kids,

Suchi did everything on her own.

She did her share and my share.

I kept working, out in the world.

But I wasn't able to fulfill my responsibilities towards my family.

If any one of us is at fault,

it is me!

Thank God.

What do you mean by 'Thank God'?!

I thought you and…

What?

I thought one of you cheated on the other.

What rubbish do you think about us!

No. I'm sorry.

I didn't really think like that, but I just...

It's okay. It's all right.

It's all right.

-I already have a stack of cards. -And the color changes to yellow.

Hold on. Hold on.

I see that you've also grown up.

What was the name of your girlfriend?

Ameira. Ameira, right?

She's not my girlfriend.

She's just my senior, JK. Nothing else.

Yeah, right.

Can I ask you another thing?

Again?

When you have a job like this,

why did you marry at all?

Why not?

Don't the people who fight for the country deserve to have a family?

And anyway, I'd decided

that I would never marry.

But when I saw Suchi for the first time,

all those resolutions flew right out the window.

Then?

Then we got married pretty quickly.

And within a year, we had you.

You guys were fast, huh?

Very fast.

Feels like it was yesterday.

Okay, done now? Goodnight.

Go, sleep.

Go.

Go.

-Dad? -What is it?

Why are you guys separating?

Why can't you just talk and sort it out?

Honey, that ship has sailed.

You won't understand.

JK.

Can you keep a secret between us, the single boys?

I know that you have a crush on Ameira.

So, please tell me how to talk to her.

Every time I walk up to her to tell her how I feel,

nothing comes out of my mouth.

I'm really tired of being a loser, JK.

I want to be an alpha, JK.

Like macho.

Girls like these 'alpha' kinda boys, right?

Listen. These macho men you see in the movies…

Don't believe that shit, okay?

In real life, a hero cares about everybody.

Takes responsibility for everybody's safety.

Like your dad.

Like me.

I don't know.

I think I'll ghost her.

I'll let her wonder

why Atharv isn't talking to me properly.

Alphas operate like that, right?

That is called being a fucker, Atharv, not an alpha.

Hey!

You stay out of it.

Two boys are talking here.

Classic.

Two single guys discussing what girls want.

She was secretly listening to what we were talking about.

You should have noticed!

Sorry, my focus was on my bread omelet.

-I'm sorry. -What a spy you are, JK!

-Which one? -A1, sir.

He shouldn't escape.

There it is.

Sir, seats 25 and 26.

It's up ahead.

-Sorry, sir. -What?

Mother promise, I won't drink on the train again.

Hindi.

I don't speak Hindi, sir.

These guys hate it when someone is happy.

Is it your seat?

Not our seat, sir. Empty, so sitting.

Yes?

Sir, we checked.

It's not them.

Srikant Tiwari wasn't on that train.

Of course, he knew that we'd look at his unofficial IDs as well.

He was one of us!

He keeps fooling us, and we keep falling for it.

Twice now!

Don't stand around staring at my face.

Someone find me a fucking lead so we can nail this bastard.

Look, I'm sorry.

It's my mistake.

I should've known better.

Even after working with him for so long, I still didn't realize…

I'll do better next time, okay?

I'm really sorry.

Honestly, the last few days have been quite stressful.

And I took it all out on my team.

I shouldn't have lost my cool, and I'm sorry.

So…

Zoya Ali from Lucknow.

A computer science graduate.

And right after graduating, you joined TASC.

You were looking up my profile?

You are now joining us in this investigation,

so it's important to find things out.

I have to know your history, your expertise,

etc., etc.

Etc, etc.

I really need someone who knows Srikant well.

And no one from this office is likely to volunteer.

I have to give it to your Srikant sir.

Guy's got spunk.

Yeah.

That's why people are ready to give their lives for him.

Finished your workout?

I didn't come here for a workout.

Do you have what I asked for?

Do you?

There's a drive in the locker

with a classified ISI report on embedded Chinese spies in California.

Students, techies, start-ups…

The American version of Guan Yu.

That's helpful.

All right. Meera Eston.

She's the perfect person for the job,

I used to work with her.

Now she's working for Dwarakanath,

the NRI billionaire.

But you knew all that.

Dwarakanath is fronting a defense deal for The Collective.

They want India to sign a major deal.

You'll find everything you need in there.

What is The Collective?

You want me to spell out everything for you?

Ask your people,

they know exactly who The Collective is.

What you should be asking yourself…

Is what is the nature of this deal?

-Sir. -Yes?

I've got a lead.

This time it's concrete.

This morning on the Seven Sisters Superfast Express train to Guwahati,

someone pulled the chain mid-journey, near some village in Assam.

Two men, one woman, and two children got off the train.

We sent photographs to the TC and he identified them.

It was Srikant's family.

And JK was with him as well.

I can't believe Srikant sir has got his family involved as well.

People can go to any lengths to save their lives, Zoya.

Okay, but why would they go to Guwahati?

He isn't going to Guwahati.

He's going to Nagaland.

And so are we.

Are you noticing this, Mom?

What?

He went straight to her car and sat there.

He didn't even check with us.

They must be talking about work.

It's fine.

Mom.

You're so innocent.

Are you saying that Dad and Saloni have some sort of...

-Shut up, Atharv! -Shut up, Atharv!

What's the situation out here, Saloni?

It's still very volatile.

And now there's a new complication.

The PM is visiting.

What?

In this tense situation?

It's too risky.

Anyway, I'm not surprised.

The PM doesn't really listen to anyone, anyway.

So, let's go straight to the PM and meet her.

What do you say, Tiwari?

Do you think the PM will meet a man on the run?

No. You're right.

How's your family coping with all this?

Must be tough on the children.

It is tough, Saloni.

They don't say much, but they don't have to.

I've been reassuring them the whole way here that

we'll be out of this mess in no time.

But the truth is, even I don't know

when or how that will happen.

Hello.

All set? Do you have everything you need?

At least say 'hello', madam.

You get right to the point, military style.

Hello, Mr. Rukma.

How's everything going? All well?

I'm fine.

Thank you.

Happy now?

So…

All set? Do you have everything you need?

Yes.

Careful. In two days, the entire unit will be there.

Right, but what about my job? Did you find...

Srikant Tiwari!

We left no stone unturned when it comes to ruining his life.

We've targeted his entire family.

We had them branded as anti-national.

We had him suspended.

He is also the prime suspect in Kulkarni's murder.

He's forced to go underground.

Underground?

Where is he?

There is an arrest warrant against him.

His own people are hunting him down.

So, basically what you're telling me is that…

Srikant Tiwari is out of your radar.

Correct?

Can I say something if you won't mind?

-Carry on. -You haven't done shit.

Yet, you talk as if you struck gold.

You are sharp. Top class! Right?

Let me remind you.

You work for me.

I pay you for that.

So, watch your mouth.

Looks like you took that personally.

I already told you, “Don't take it to heart.”

Get the job done.

Stick to the plan.

Fucking hell!

Do you have a permit?

Show it to me, please?

They have the party permit. Let them pass.

Dad. Dad…

I want an ice lolly.

I'm not your dad.

And ice lollies are terrible.

Come.

Let's go.

One ice lolly.

I don't know what is in this.

It's just ice with some color on it to trick kids.

Welcome to Nagaland.

Welcome to Nagaland.

Is your real name Bobby, or is it a nickname?

No, it's my real name.

Bobby McFerrin.

'Mcfie, ' what?

Bobby McFerrin.

Was McFerrin your father?

Then?

Your name and your face don't match, do they?

Haven't you heard that song?

Don't worry, be happy.

It was my mom's favorite song.

I haven't heard it.

-Give me one more. -Yes.

-Finished your ice cream? -Yes, I have.

This is my friend's house.

He is posted in Kashmir and has taken his family along.

-Atharv… -You all can stay here for a while.

Thank you, Saloni.

Okay. Listen to me, guys.

JK and I are going to stay somewhere else.

What?

But, Sri...

It's not sensible for me to stay with you all here.

Do you mean like a safe house?

Then, I'm coming with you.

Don't even think about it?

Go to your room quietly.

Sri…

Sri, why can't you live with us?

-I mean... -Suchi, I have no idea

about what comes next.

And Saloni is there

to take care of you all.

Atharv.

Let's go.

-JK and I will wait outside. -Okay.

Let's go, JK.

Sri…

Dhriti and I had a long chat on the train yesterday.

And?

She was asking me…

Why we are separating.

What did you…

I told her…

That I was never emotionally available to your mom.

And it's all my fault.

Sri…

Sri, what are you doing here?

You don't need to do this.

It's important.

Not so long ago, you were almost killed.

Why are you risking your life again?

-Suchi, please understand. -Dammit, Sri! Why don't you understand?

What do you want me to do?!

Do you want me to run and hide?

You know what Kulkarni sir meant to me.

And those bastards, in front of my eyes…

This time…

It's personal.

And us?

I'll come back.

I promise.

And…

This…

Keep this phone with you.

I'll call every morning between nine and twelve.

Keep the phone switched off at all other times.

Use it only in an emergency.

Please.

Take care.

Sir.

Bhasky.

-Welcome back, sir. -Thank you.

-How are you? -All good, sir.

-All good at home? -Yes, sir.

Good. What's the update?

You must've heard that the PM is coming to Nagaland.

We think that Srikant Tiwari will try to meet the PM at that rally.

It's not very likely, but Srikant is desperate, sir.

Do one thing.

Call the commissioner.

We have to discuss the PM's security plan. Okay?

On it, sir.

All right, everybody,

-we'll regroup in 15 minutes. -Okay.

You okay?

Yes, I'm fine.

Hopefully, we won't have to stay here too long.

That's optimistic.

James will come here tomorrow.

He'll drive you around.

So,

what's the plan?

We have to find Stephen as fast as possible.

It's not going to be so easy, Sri.

Rumor has it that he's crossed into Myanmar.

I am trying to locate him, but no luck so far.

Wonder where that bastard is hiding.

Any other thoughts?

I have some other old contacts,

I can try talking to them. Maybe one of them...

I know all of them as well, Sri.

They are my contacts as well.

Some are dead, some are in jail, and the rest have gone missing.

We are going to have to try a new approach.

What about any of Stephens's known associates?

After Chuba's arrest,

all of Stephen's remaining men have gone underground.

So,

we hit a dead end.

Okay, I'm off.

Sri, JK. Be careful.

Sleep with one eye open.

Thank you, Saloni.

Who's this?

Has the PM landed?

A while ago.

The convoy is en route.

The Prime Minister's convoy is on its way to the rally site.

There is excitement in the air.

A large crowd has gathered to see the Prime Minister.

You are watching live from Kohima,

where this marks Prime Minister Basu's

second visit to the region...

Ready?

You know what you have to do?

Which school do you go to?

Shiksha Vandan Vidyalaya.

What will you do when you go there?

I'll go stand in line with the other kids there.

And then?

I'll hide this bag there.

Do you know the spot?

And then after that?

-I'll come back. -Yes, you'll come back.

-How? -I'll run.

To who?

-To Dad. -To Dad…

Good boy.

Let's go.

Keep moving.

Keep moving.

Vineet, any update?

Nothing so far, sir.

I don't think Srikant sir

will try to meet the PM in the middle of this ongoing rally.

I mean, he's not that stupid.

You're probably right.

But we can't risk it.

Come, children, one by one.

Indeed it is, the Prime Minister's...

Oh, sorry.

Are you lost?

Where are your parents?

Oh, Okay.

Hundreds of people have gathered in their traditional attire,

just to get a glimpse of the Prime Minister...

Should've been here by now.

What is it?

This bomb will only go off when I hit the button, right?

Yes, but be careful.

Keep your phone screen locked all the time.

If you pocket dial by mistake, it'll explode.

Tell me straight up.

If I don't hit the button, it won't explode, right?

It shouldn't.

What do you mean by 'it shouldn't'?

Does that mean it could?

If you make the call, it'll explode. Simple.

And could it explode if the bag shakes a lot?

What are you trying to find out?

Why are you asking so many questions?

I need you to give me a guarantee that if I don't hit the button,

the bomb won't explode.

It's a bomb! It doesn't come with a guarantee.

Fucker.

At any moment, the convoy will be here.

Look at the excitement and happiness on people's...

How much time till the PM arrives?

Seven to eight minutes, bhai.

Ten minutes at the most.

This is a historic moment for the people of Naga...

Dad?

Dad?

Five minutes, bhai.

Can you see them?

No.

The PM's convoy should be here any minute.

Where are they?

Call him.

There are only a few minutes left.

Get out of there.

I can't find Bobby.

Bhai, leave him.

The PM will be arriving any minute.

You must leave now.

Bobby!

Where did you disappear? I told you to run back to me!

I couldn't find the gate, Dad.

I got scared.

The PM is here.

PM Basu's convoy is entering

-the streets that lead to the rally site. -What the fuck is this guy doing?

Look, Sambit.

Look at the crowd.

They've been standing in the hot sun for hours

to get a glimpse of me.

You all are just obsessed with the ratings.

Dad, I hid the bag where you'd asked.
