My name is Mubeena Ali Khan.

I was working at NHM in South Block,
Delhi, on contract basis.

Last month, I submitted a sexual harassment
complaint against Minister J.P. Sundaram

to my supervisor.

And I was fired the very next day.

I have no idea how these UAPA charges
were filed against me.

Other than organising rallies
against Sundaram and his associates,

the allegation that I conspired
to assassinate him

is entirely baseless.

They said I accepted money from
the opposition party to file the complaint.

While gathering evidence,

the police discovered
three messages in my mobile.

The first was a voice message.

In which someone
from the opposition party

offered me ₹25 lakhs.

To make an allegation against JPS.

Last week, a case was registered
at Vellarada police station,

where a fraudulent app
scammed an expat of ₹1.5 crores.

He approached the cyber police,

but by then, the damage to his reputation
was beyond repair.

When I saw that photo,

for a fraction of a second,

I went completely blank.

Normally, no one in government service
would disclose something like this.

But since it's you,
I'll tell you this.

Once we have a rough idea
of the suspect,

we'll send a message to his phone
through this Periscope software.

Doesn't matter
if he clicks it or not…

In our terms, we call it a "Zero-Click."

We gain full control of the phone.

A click gives us better accuracy.

Basically, once this application
is installed on the phone,

its data consumption
will increase.

By then, the application
would be running continuously

in the background
of the consumer's phone.

The phone will start
heating up unusually.

The police claim

they found a conspiracy email
on my laptop.

At Brimstead Lab in London,

an investigation was conducted
to uncover the truth.

That's when we realised

that both my husband's phone
and mine

were infected with
the Periscope spyware.

What do honest people
have to hide anyway?

This so-called privacy… it's not worth
more than a human life, my friend.

So many lives have been
affected by Periscope.

Its misuse far outweighs its benefits.

Were you the one who initiated
the purchase of this software?

I'm not asking this lightly.

I have seen documents.

No comments!

[soulful rendition
of Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram]

Gyan Chand Ji...

Thank you.

Namaste, Madam.

[in Hindi]
How's your health?

[in Tamil]
I'm fine, Sundaram.

The surgery can't be avoided.

I tried your office many times.

Why didn't you respond?

[in Tamil]
Those are just allegations, Madam.

I've already proved that in court.

Please don't misunderstand me
unnecessarily.

I am not here to discuss
your personal stuff.

In South Block,

I too have ears, Sundaram.

Using the government defence system
to ensure your safety...

I don't think that's right.

A software that was authorised
during my term...

Do you think it's fair to use that
in a civilian case like this?

You can always hide mentioning it
as a classified document.

But for those running the government,

it is such a shame.

How long can you keep
running from us, Sundaram?

A total of eleven numbers!

1.5 crore rupees for each number!

This isn't your family's money.

In the next cabinet meeting,

I want answers on this.

Otherwise,

I will not be silent as always!

What is this, Madam?

Are you threatening me now?

I've attended this function
from this very spot

at least 15 times
before you, right?

The time for threats is over.

Now, I need action.

Madam, please. Don't get stressed.
Think about your health.

No.

I'm serious, Sundaram.

I need a response to my email,

the day I reach office
after surgery!

Understood?

- Surgery date...
- Third. Next month.

I will wait for that reply.

Ma'am, your bag, please.

Okay. You may go.

- Ma'am!
- Yes.

Oh, good!

- Thank you, my girl.
- Ma'am.

Fix me an appointment
with Dr. Daniel, DRW.

Okay, Madam.

[in Hindi]
Check if he's available tomorrow.

Okay.

Oh... Yes!

Wow!

- Got you!
- Good one!

- Namaste, sir.
- I got that.

- Should I try again?
- Yeah, sure.

Okay?

Ah!

Can you please wait in the
next room for some time?

- Go on, son.
- Come.

Come on.

This is too official, Danny.

Please sit!

[in Malayalam] I've turned this
into my office for a few days.

How are you doing now?

I am fine.
It's not that painful.

You know, I got him registered
with the AIIMS list for transplant.

[in Tamil]
Your liver is non-alcoholic.

Mine's severely alcoholic.

There is a difference, Madam.

See? He always has an excuse!

Do you recognise her?

- Mrinalini Saha.
- Yes, sir.

PRO at NHM.

And of course,

your most trusted insider!

You're right.

Mom...

Mom, please understand.

I'm okay.
I'm okay.

Danny,

I don't know what is happening
with my phone.

It's new, but the battery
just won't last.

It gets really hot too.

Do you have time to take a look?

It's my official phone.

Mom is using too many apps, Sir.

You should check her screen time.

You didn't call me all the way here
just to fix a phone!

Enough with the suspense.

What's the matter?

It's an MOU.

An order from JPS.

To hand over control of Periscope

to his own son's IT company,

with immediate effect.

What does this mean?

I knew this was coming.

It's evident.

They are going to bring
Social Score to people.

So,

how does this affect?

Just like the CIBIL score
assigned by banks to each of us,

JPS and his team

will rate individuals based
on their social media conduct.

To put it simply,

if a person dependent
on government rations

posts a comment against
JPS on social media,

his family will starve!

Hah!

This is supposed to be
a military spyware.

How can they deploy this
against civilians so casually?

This proves it, Madam.

At the institution
where I worked, until yesterday,

this surveillance software required
a three-layer security clearance.

If it goes to the private sector,
who's going to give the clearance?

- Sugar?
- No.

I'm going to oppose this
in the next Cabinet meeting.

I'm forming a strong team
against JPS

with some powerful people.

Danny, I need you to get us

the list of phone numbers

cleared by DRW for Periscope,
as per JPS's instructions,

up to this date.

We both are equally
responsible for this.

And in my team,

you will be my biggest confidant.

In this fight...

I don't know how far you'll succeed.

But you can count me in.

Sir, please sign here.

Thank you, sir.

What is this?

It's Daniel sir's bottle.

[in Tamil]
Why so late?

Sorry, sir.
There was traffic.

You should've brought it faster.

My hands are shaking already.

Everything is encrypted.

You know the decryption pattern, right?

Take it!

This much?!

That's quite a lot, sir!

Shut the door on your way out.

[in Malayalam] I want this
before your shift ends.

Sir… could you at least give
your signature for clearance…

I'll leave a mark on your face!

Will that be enough
clearance for you?

- Tell me!
- Sir! What is this, sir?

Why do you think
I put you on night shift?

So, infection could be confirmed
with the latest Periscope Version 2.0.

The program has been reset
three times in the past month.

The first reset happened on

January 30th,
3:20 PM IST.

Any possibility on
the nature of the data taken?

Was it WhatsApp data or contacts?

No, Danny.
That's not possible from our end.

For us, the phone is
completely compromised.

Maybe, Ayesha can give you
the date of it being self destructed.

Yeah, that's already here.

The second reset happened
after two days by 8:00 PM

and the last reset

was probably on the day
it got uninstalled.

February 7th, 12:30 PM IST.

Danny,

what do you think of our teaching offer
when you retire there?

We really think you should come over here
and share your knowledge.

There's a lot you could do here.

The campus is really good as well.

Danny, are you listening?

Yes.

I'll have to think about it.
Give me some time.

So, Danny

how's the victim
of this infected phone?

She was recovering well
after the surgery, sir.

Even when you met her,

she seemed fine
and cheerful, didn't she?

We took good care
of her, didn't we?

I didn't expect this infection.

That's not the case.

She left only after fulfilling
all her responsibilities.

But some things
still remain unfinished.

She's entrusted
those responsibilities to me.

You should be proud
of your mother.

Yes, sir.

[Daniel] Was Madam's life
meant to end like this?

A brave woman who led the nation
as a Minister for two terms.

This house is where I first saw
a minister's office

functioning 24 hours a day.

For the past ten years,

I had the privilege of serving
as Madam's scientific advisor.

She led several major missions
that safeguarded the country.

But in the end, within the same
country's intelligence network,

if she couldn't even use
her own phone securely

imagine what awaits
an ordinary civilian.

In a world fuel led by innovation,

few rise to truly leave a mark.

Mr. Shakti Sundaram is one such visionary.

Under his trailblazing leadership,

Shakti Solutions is now
more than a company.

And at the helm of it all,

Mr. Shakti Sundaram.

Not just a founder,

not just a chairman,

- but a pioneer...
- Thank you.

Shaping tomorrow, today.

Let's welcome the man of the hour,
Mr. Shakti Sundaram!

Perfect crowd for a perfect day!

I... have always been called a nepokid.

Thanks to Acha, my father,

who gave me that name.

Surprisingly,

I did not get into his way
of serving the nation.

[Daniel] The first time I saw him,

he was just a kid running around
South Block with his father.

And then one day,
when I was teaching at DTA,

he was there among the cadets,
just another average student.

The next revolutionary service
from Shakti Solutions...

Ladies and gentlemen,

"Samaj Seva."

The Social Evaluator!

[Daniel] But the most memorable
encounter...

It's equally precious
to both him... and me.

Sir! Control Officer Ankit Rahane.

So, what is the situation now?

Sir, the FO has taken
the flight above 30,000 ft.

We are trying to bring him
back to the base.

Were you the Controlling Officer?

No, sir.
It was Michael Devassy.

A junior FC.

A batch-mate with the FO
at the Academy.

And where is he now?

This is no time
to stay away and cry.

Brief me quickly.
What happened?

Sir, I warned him multiple times.

He exceeded the limit repeatedly.

Soon, he reported
a fire inside the cockpit.

Initially, I believed it was hypoxia.

He's had hallucinations before too,
from low oxygen at high altitude.

[Man] Viper reporting cockpit fire!

I repeat, cockpit fire!

Requesting permission
for emergency landing!

Who is the Flight Officer?

Mayday! Mayday!

Require permission for emergency landing!

Shakti...
Dr. Daniel here,

from DRW.

- Are you listening?
- [Shakti] Roger, sir.

Requesting permission
for emergency landing!

Please confirm your oxygen status.

Are you able to breathe?

Sir, I have lost my HUD!

Zero visibility!

Losing my controls here, sir!

Shakti... Can you breathe?
Answer that.

Yes, Sir.
I can breathe.

Can you help me land, sir?

Shakti, listen to me.

I am not a pilot.

But I'm really familiar
with the aircraft you're flying.

You will now fly
strictly as I instruct.

For that, I need
your fullest cooperation.

Do you trust me?

Shakti, come in.

Do you trust me?

Yes, sir!
I trust you!

I need the exact calculation of the fuel
consumed by the aircraft since takeoff.

- Immediately!
- Sir.

Shakti, listen. Now I'm trying to
bring you back home.

As per my indications here,

luckily there is no engine fire.

So don't panic.

Reduce your altitude
and maintain low speed.

There's almost 2,800 litres of fuel left
in the fuselage and wings.

Danny, it's impossible
to land the craft!

Make him eject.
There is no other option!

Kaushik...

For me,
the MIG is also important!

And there is a refinery in between.

If he ejects now,

the MIG will crash
exactly at that spot!

Will you take the responsibility?

Shakti, now we're going
to dump the fuel.

That will make the aircraft
lose its weight.

- Are you ready?
- [Shakti] Yes, sir!

Towards your left,
in the emergency control panel,

there is a Jettison lever.

Sir... Zero visibility, sir!

Can you guide me?

Shakti...

It's on the left side of your seat.

Move your fingers down.

You will find an L-shaped panel.

Can you see it?

The first round button on that panel.

It is the Jettison switch.

Yes, sir.
I got it.

Press it.

Minister JPS on the line.

FO's father.

You better speak to him.

Hello, sir.

My only priority is to ensure
Shakti lands safely, sir.

And he is responding well.

And I assure you, sir.

I am going to bring him back
safe to the base.

Trust me on this, sir.
Please.

Shakti, now take this as your training.

You are going to approach
Mathura Refinery area.

That means...
it's a two-kilometre no-fly zone.

When your altitude
reaches 1000 feet,

I'm going to make you do
a barrel roll, belly up.

But sir, I have never done that before!

Then, let's do it now.

Again... Do you trust me?

Yes, sir!

Now, push the throttle hard
in the Z axis!

Now, lift up and raise the altitude.

Fast! Fast!
Move! Move! Move!

- This way!
- Fast!

- To the front!
- Keep it here!

[Daniel] Normally,
this would count as

a training violation
by a junior flight officer.

But I chose not to report it that way.

Because deep down, I saw the grit in him
to bring that flight back down

along with making it back alive.

But JPS stood against it.

He sacrificed his son
for his political future.

He made him quit the force.

That was the end
of Shakti's life in the force.

What should we do now, sir?

We'll have to shut down our office
and hand the keys over to him, right?

Leave it, Danny.

Already...

We're already unable to deliver
a lot of things on time.

Let them share the burden.

What's wrong with that?

Periscope is an important program.

A program that could easily be misused
if it goes to the private sector.

I'll be forced to speak out.

You have turned into
an old cynic, Danny.

You should know your limits.

Sir, with all due respect…

I was among the very few who met
Madam Nalini after her surgery.

When it came to handing Periscope
over to the Shakti Group,

she was the one
who opposed it the most.

As per her request,

I procured the list of numbers
JPS had ordered to be secretly spied on.

And I

still hold it.

Nalini Ramakrishnan did not die
a natural death, sir.

She was assassinated
inside the hospital.

Stop it, Danny!

I've seen the medical report too.

The reason of her death
was an infection post surgery!

I can prove it, sir.

Because

that list included
Nalini Madam's number as well!

What's happening
in your constituency?

Huh?

We gave you development funds,
didn't we?

Sir,

I need five minutes of your time.

Daniel.

Periscope.

What do you think?

Will he negotiate?

No, sir.
Never.

But as a government servant,

he still comes under
the Official Secrets Act.

Negotiation.

National security.

If you're finding it difficult
to look after Rahim,

just inform the camp office
and leave.

I can take care of him myself.

There's no need to bring
your kids here and cry about it.

Sir, I'm not here to complain.

These boys keep getting into trouble,
and I'm the one left worried.

My husband has been on night shift
since last week.

So I bring them here at night.

At 9:30 PM,
after Rahim sir falls asleep,

they somehow sneak into his room.

I only found out about this when I saw
the videos they shot on my phone.

They used pictures from his room

and Rahim sir's medals
to make videos

and uploaded them to YouTube.

You're my only hope, sir.

If this gets reported
to the camp office,

I'll lose my job.

Are these boys so notorious?

Where did they post it?

We have our YouTube channel.

Sandy & The Twins!

Sandy?

It's a dog in our area, sir.

That's what they call it.

Which channel is it?

Let me have a look.

You have to subscribe, okay?

Okay.

If Rahim Sir finds out,
I'm done for!

Your boys have put in a lot of effort.

Is this going to be a problem, sir?

I'll have my office staff
remove the content.

But make sure they don't get hold
of your phone again.

Okay.

[Daniel] 1923 Official Secrets Act.

The of fence involving possession of state
secrets by a government official.

From today,

I too am a dissident
in their eyes.

Vimathan [Dissident]

- Gaurav...
- Yes?

- [in Hindi] Pull the shutter down.
- Okay, sir.

I don't have much time.

Transfer everything from this phone
to this pen drive, fast.

Gaurav, give me your phone.

- Hello?
- Ayesha, this is Daniel.

Morning, Danny!

Listen carefully to what I'm about to say.

I think my phone
has been compromised.

Danny, are you alright?

Where are you now?

I'm still in Delhi.

I need a favour from you.

You offered me a position in
your university the other day, right?

To teach Cyber Forensics?

Is it still available?

Danny, I can't decide that alone.

I should check with Scott.

Then please check
with him immediately!

I don't have much time!

If the position is available,

you should email me the offer letter
at the earliest!

Right.

I'll see what I can do.

- Is it over?
- Two minutes, sir.

Gaurav, go check.

Move!

Move aside!

Move!

Sir,

this drive is not recorded
in the entry log.

Sorry, sir.
Sorry.

Sir, Daniel's resignation
has been confirmed.

It's already been emailed to the
concerned authorities from his desk.

Sir, Daniel has received
an offer letter

from Brimstead University, London,
for a teaching job.

Check Daniel's UK visa validity.

Sir, the visa is valid till 2028.

Chances of Daniel exiting the country
is imminent.

Issue a look-out notice
for Dr. Daniel James

to all airports,

for violating the Official Secrets Act

and trying to flee from the country!

Excuse me, sir!
One minute.

Sir, IB reports have confirmed...

Daniel is on the London
flight out of Kathmandu.

We may have already lost him.

Vlog number 1.

My name is Daniel James.

I've been a Scientific Advisor
at DRW for the past 15 years.

But from today,

I will be known
as "Vimathan" to you.

I was inspired to make this video

by two eight-year-old boys.

After working honestly
within this system for so long,

I now realise I'm not even
as brave as those boys.

[Daniel] What I'm about to tell you

could lead to my arrest
when this flight lands.

But I believe you'll watch this someday.

For a while now, I've been constantly
faced with a single question.

"Is my office using
Periscope spyware or not?"

For them, this is my answer.

When Nalini Ramakrishnan,
who recently passed away, was my senior,

this spyware was sanctioned
for this very organisation

with my signature.

Back then, many of us, myself included,
only looked at its positive aspects.

But after a while, I realised.

Periscope had been installed
on many phones,

including that of Nalini Madam,
the very person who sanctioned the program.

The mastermind behind that move
was a member of her own party,

cabinet minister JPS.

Is there a secure internet connection
I can use instead of public Wi-Fi?

I need to upload a video urgently.

The list of numbers that have been
monitored through Periscope to date

by JPS for his personal gain…

I'm releasing it now.

You can access them through the link
below and examine them.

Many on that list
are no longer alive,

including Nalini Ramakrishnan.

And the ones who are alive,
you better stay alert.

You're all being watched.

You are all under surveillance!

I don't have to answer this.

This is nothing new.

Enemy states have long attempted
to target our people.

Daniel is one such individual
who fell into their trap.

Unfortunately,

he is a traitor to our country.

No matter which country he hides in,
we will get him.

And we will bring him back
and put him on trial.

- Thank you!
- [reporters shouting questions]

Please move!
Move back!

Vlog number 112.

Vimathan here!

Most of the requests in my inbox

were for my review of the X-7.

Like I always say,

this isn't a paid review.

Please don't decide to buy or not buy
this phone based on what I say here.

So, let's begin.

This is my first impression.

If you buy this phone,

you'll be travelling around
with the biggest spy in your pocket.

I say this because its camera

keeps tracking and reporting your
location without you even knowing.

The main villain behind it
is this connection.

If you want to take photos,
buy a camera.

Why buy a phone?!

This one is the next villain.

Even if your phone is off, as long
as the battery still has charge,

it will keep sharing your location.

This feature is more useful

to those tracking you,
than to you.

Now, let's move to the microphone.

What you see here

is the most advanced
military graded transmitter.

Whenever you discuss
travel plans, bank loans,

or hotel bookings, with anyone,

this one will immediately notify
the relevant parties.

Your next concern might be that
the phone's resale value will drop

if you remove these
components, right?

If possible, don't trade in
your old phone for a new one.

Because you'll be selling your own life
along with your phone.

No matter how many
factory resets you do,

if there's something valuable
to you on that phone,

someone who knows how to take it
will definitely take it!

Now,

to those who think that they don't
give a damn if they lose their privacy…

I'll share the story of a 16-year-old girl
who lost her privacy, knowingly or not.

An 11th-grade student from Kadamakkudy
Panchayat in Ernakulam district.

The crime she committed was that
she sold nude pictures of herself

to a criminal network abroad
for a very high price.

Unable to cope with the shame,
her father took his own life.

Local police found
evidence against her

from the laptop she was using.

She received this laptop on merit
through a government scheme

for securing an A+ in 10th grade.

These free laptops come
with several pre-installed apps.

There was one application
that caught my attention among them.

I had seen that application before…
at one of DRW's official summits.

There is another side to this
which most people are unaware of.

At first, the girl's father had taken
an online loan for her education.

And in the end… they sent him
his own daughter's secret!

The parent company behind
that loan app… is Shakti Solutions.

The very same company supplied
those free laptops!

How did a defence application
end up on a schoolgirl's laptop?

So, as far as I'm concerned,
that girl is innocent.

This is for the police to investigate,

and Shakti Corporation
must answer for it!

Aren't you Daniel?

I am a big fan of yours, sir.

My son studies at your college.

Mathew, third semester,
Architecture.

Oh!

I don't know him.

Don't you have a police case
back home?

Easy to sit here and talk crap
about people back home, right?

Commit fraud there and come hide here
like nothing happened, right?

What do you want now?

I was just saying, sir.

This is... that Pakistani girl, right?

Are you still with her, sir?

I married her!

Got a problem with that?
Get lost!

Who was that?

A fan!

You've been invited
to a YouTubers' summit

organised by a Malayali association
in Faraha.

Take a look at the sponsors.

Are they really shameless enough
to invite me to this?

People think deleting a file

makes it disappear.

Truth is

nothing really goes away.

It just hides

until someone looks for it.

See you on Monday.

And...
don't hack my Wi-Fi again!

94, 95, 96,

97, 98, 99...

100!!!

Congrats, sir!

Congrats, sir!

Even with 1 million
or 100 million followers,

you're still going to pay
for what you've done!

Run and hide in London all you want,

but say one more word against JPS

and I'll come there,
butcher you,

sever your head and dump it
right outside your Pakistani woman's door.

Aren't you ashamed
to betray your motherland

and live with random women, you dog?

Hey, don't stop the party!

We are used to this.

I'll go refill this.

- Hello?
- Is this Radhakrishnan?

Yes.

I am Daniel.

Who?

Daniel.
Vimathan! Vimathan!

Haven't you had enough,
you scumbag?

You work in the Electricity Board, right?

Is the strike finally over there?

Your wife still works at LIC, right?

Hey, don't try your nasty tricks!

Why do you care where I work?

You have two children, right?

Shalini, the elder one,

is a first-year engineering student
in Kottayam.

Right?

Are you taking
a census of my family?

That's your government's job, isn't it?

Shalini is having dinner
at the CSI hostel right now.

My people are near the hostel.

You! You!

Should I ask them to walk
into the hostel and meet her?

If you touch my daughter...

They won't touch her.

They'll just kill her.

I've got people in Pakistan too.

You know that, right?

Hello?

Radhakrishnan...
Are you there?

Dear sir...

I am sorry!

Please don't hurt my daughter!

Okay.

Will you do as I say,
Radhakrishnan?

I will! I'll do whatever you want!

Then delete the video
you sent me today.

Sir, I didn't do it alone.

Others were involved.
It's been sent to some groups too.

Okay… delete it from everywhere
it's been sent… then call me.

I'll update you
about your daughter then… okay?

Just messing around!

Dear sir,

the person who used this phone

is no longer alive.

The answer to the question
in your last vlog

is in this phone.

If you are convinced,

let's connect.

Jyothi, you handled the Students'
Laptop Scheme allotment, right?

Yes, sir.

The family of one of those students
is creating trouble at the reception.

Get here quickly.

Enough talking!

- What's the matter?
- Who are you, girl?

- I'm Jyothi. I'm the Data...
- Are you in charge here or not?

Yes. I'm the Data Analyst here.

Whatever the issue is,
we can talk it through.

- Please don't create a scene.
- This is the girl's mom.

[Michael] Who are those people?
You are okay, right?

My daughter got her laptop from here.

She studies really well
and works really hard.

She's been in jail for 16 days now, dear.

The police are saying she sent something
from her laptop she was not supposed to.

They're not even granting her bail.

You're the one who did
everything for us, right?

Please help us.

I understand, Chechi.

I was only responsible for
the laptop allotment. Beyond that...

Don't beat around the bush
and waste our time.

It's our girl who's in jail.

We're not leaving
until this is sorted out!

Chetta, what I'm saying is...

I can't say anything
without checking that laptop.

It's with the police, dear.

Our lawyer filed petitions
twice to get it back.

But they refused, saying we might
destroy the evidence.

How can I say anything
without checking the laptop?

Listen… Two other students from our ward
have received the same laptops.

Can you at least check those?

I'm reaching there.
Sheeba is with me.

Nothing to worry, okay?

Shall we go to the other
student's place now?

Do you know anything
about this program, Mike?

This is the only thing
I found unusual.

At least tell me now.

What is this program?

Is this something
I'm not meant to know?

If that's the case,
I'll find another way.

What do you want to know?

I just want to know if that girl
is in jail because of this program.

How many students are using
laptops from our scheme?

Did any of them get
into any sort of trouble?

Why are you so sure
it's not her mistake?

Because I went to their house.

The photos they say she leaked
are of her changing clothes!

In houses like theirs,
if someone needs to change,

the others have to step out.

What else would be
in the house at that time?

Just the laptop…
sitting on a table or chair!

Is this program
secretly watching them?

Jyothi, please!

Don't get too invested in this.

Ultimately, we are all working
for a corporate firm!

Why do we need a job
that ruins ordinary people's lives?

What if this is just
the first case?

What if more students end up
facing such a problem?

This issue isn't as serious
as you think.

How do SOS emergency programs
work on our phones?

This works the same way.

You know
it's a government scheme, right?

These laptops are intended to benefit
underprivileged students.

Unfortunately,

the areas these end users come from
have high child abuse rates.

The demand for such a program
came to our team from the official side…

For precautionary measures.

That means,

this application can remotely access
the laptop's camera, right?

Don't just walk off.
Explain, Mike!

I told you already, right?

Only under certain circumstances,

for public safety,

we can access that program.
That's all!

Here you can see
all the students' academic records

and their loan applications in detail.

Explain this, Jyothi.

What were you doing at
Michael's cabin in the night?

You're not authorised
to access this floor.

And if you say Michael
asked you to come,

he wasn't even in the office then!

You care to explain?

You either explain
or we'll have to terminate you.

Hey, bro!

Hi, Shakti.

Listen, Mike...

I don't care if you're sleeping
with her or not.

But I need to know what information
you've shared with her.

Shakti, I don't understand.

You know better than I do

why this program runs on
those student laptops.

Yesterday, that girl used your ID
to access the top floor.

So, how can I ignore?

You might have shared
some information with her!

Jyothi was Shakti's point of contact
for the free laptop scheme.

So when a student's family came here with a
complaint, she followed it up. That's all.

Then why the hell did she
meet their lawyer?

Listen, Mike. She has some sensitive
information from your computer.

If that gets out,

you know the consequences, right?

What would Jyothi even get
from my computer?

Just some data analytics
and program information.

What can she even do with that?

Mike, Mike, Mike...

Hang on.

What if

she turns against us?

She's figured out we do
consumer profiling…

And that we're monitoring
individual data.

Are you sure she won't go to court
and speak about this program?

Shakti... Hey...

She won't do such a thing.

I'll talk to her
and make her understand.

That's up to you, bro.

I don't want someone like that
in Shakti Group anymore.

Even after she's fired,

it's your responsibility
to make sure

she keeps her mouth shut.

I've been calling you
since this morning.

You haven't been
answering my calls!

Why don't you just
stay out of this issue, Jyothi?

For that, you need to think
from my perspective, Michael.

You're not an activist.

A company has its own policies
on how to run its business.

We have to understand that
and work within that!

I can't do that, Mike!

They're just 15 or 16-year-old
school kids!

What do they even know?

How many more parents
do I have to face?

What am I supposed to tell them?

That we'll give your kids
free laptops for their studies,

but your lives will be under
our company's control?

Jyothi, please try to understand
what I'm saying.

Do you think
what you did was right?

You breached into my system!

Do you think
they'll just let this go?

They will ruin your career!

I know

you are one of them.

Aren't you?

So that's why
you didn't answer my calls.

- Right?
- See!

You've also started behaving
like them, Michael.

I never expected anything
from this relationship.

So, don't expect anything
from me either!

And I didn't answer your calls

because my phone's battery
doesn't last.

They...

They're monitoring your phone.

A microwave can cancel
the radio frequency.

Get a new phone.

You should be safe.

That's all I want.

What do I even have to hide?

Am I supposed to stop living,
fearing a phone?

Let them take
whatever they want!

How can I run away from this?

Come with me.

Hello sir...

This is Michael.

I know you didn't send me this phone
just to show me your life with Jyothi.

You wanted me to know
what she knew.

In that case,

I need to know what happened
to her after that as well.

Nothing much happened
in her life after that, sir.

The next day,

she came to the office as usual.

Since she was on her notice period,

she had a lot of pending work.

Even then,

she took sick leave

and left early.

Around 4 PM

her room-mate called me…

Saying Jyothi had collapsed
in the bathroom.

By the time they got her to the hospital,
she had passed away.

When you last saw Jyothi,

did you notice anything
unusual about her?

I didn't want to see her
like that, sir.

We didn't part on good terms.

A video of her was shared
in the office WhatsApp group.

I never

even opened it.

Can I see those videos?

We got an invite for that
YouTubers' summit in Faraha, right?

Did you respond to them?

No.

It's happening next week.

Shall we go for it?

Why the sudden change of mind?

Shakti Group is giving me a space
to speak at their own event!

Why should I miss this chance?

That's up to you.

I also think you should go, Danny.

How long are you going
to stay cooped up indoors?

But strictly no controversies
in your speech!

No controversy at all.

Just simple talk.

Reply to them
and confirm my acceptance.

Let's go.

Okay.

Right now, some of the world's
top vloggers are here,

showcasing their skills.

I'm so thrilled
to be part of this...

♪ O, alien oasis ♪

Next!

I have 14K followers.
I'm into lifestyle content...

Do you like pranks?

Oh, I love them!
It's so exciting!

♪ O, alien oasis ♪

Yo! Vimathan!

He speaks from a room
that has forgotten its own walls.

Every surface, they say,
Has become an ear.

Every silence, they say,
Is being collected.

He invented windows
to look at the world.

♪ O, alien oasis ♪

But now, it seems,
the windows are watching him.

It seems the wind that gushes
in through those windows,

absorbs his secrets
along with his sweat.

His name is "Human".

Been a while since I got into
a government vehicle.

- You won't rat me out, right?
- Come on, sir.

This is a different country.

Who's going to mess
with you here, sir?

Don't worry.

Contrary to what the media
back home claims, she's not Pakistani.

She's from Chavakkad.
A pure Malayali!

She just has UK citizenship.
That's all.

- Ayesha.
- Raghu.

You shouldn't be afraid
to go back home.

They can't do squat to you, sir.

Easy for you to say that
sitting here!

Ever since I moved away
from our country,

my health got better.

I don't drink like I used to.
I'm not stressed anymore.

None of this
is our country's fault.

It's the fault of certain people
who control it.

I'm so sorry, sir.

All the sea-view rooms
are already occupied.

Just a room to sleep in.
Can we get one?

I'll get back to you.

Laughter in one room,
becomes entertainment for another house.

A wail in one room,
Becomes news in another.

Your mind, and all it holds,

is nothing but an open file
on someone's desk.

Were shadows kept on sale
all this while?

Were thoughts being measured?

Were gadgets always strategies?

The room was never a room,

but a stall in a farm.

For someone to milk dry,
and when yield fails, to be slaughtered.

Not a dystopian animal farm.

But where he, his kind,

you, and I all reside:

A real Human Farm.

We don't build companies.

We build wars,
disguised as business.

Productivity is not
in the excel sheets.

It's about how many battles we win
before breakfast!

Sir, Daniel has started
with his presentation.

Okay, guys.
Let's pick it up tomorrow.

Make sure I have
the reports tonight.

Aparna, I want the feed here.

But he's not someone
any of us can ignore.

Let's welcome
the brutally honest Vimathan!

It's been a long time

since I've seen my fellow countrymen
like this in person.

You might say,
“We're expats too!”

Yes, that's true.

But there's a difference
between us.

All of you are expats
who came here to work,

still upholding your
allegiance to our country.

But what about me?

I'm an expat
who had to flee that country

after forsaking the same allegiance.

Most of you may not know
my real name, Daniel James.

I was given the name
"Vimathan" or Dissident,

by Shakti Corporation.

So, at an event hosted by them,

if I don't speak at least
a few words about them,

that wouldn't be fair.

When Shakti Group was founded
as an IT consultancy back in 2017,

their balance sheet stood
at a mere ₹20,000.

By 2021-22,

that figure had grown
to ₹80 crores.

And the company's current assets
are valued at

₹1,600 crores!

There's no magic
behind this success.

Just a clear vision
with a futuristic approach.

Yes, just one click.

A single click on your phone!

This is the secret
behind that single click.

Signed in 2021 between
the government and Shakti…

The Periscope agreement.

It's an open contract
that allows them

to use that program in any way
they choose, for the next 10 years.

- Let me explain how it is possible.
- Sir?

Cut his mic
and get him off the stage!

- From 2021...
- Sure, sir.

The company has been...

Hey!

Really sorry, sir.

You can't present this here.

What are you talking about?

I am an invited guest here!

I decide what I'm going to talk about.

You have no right to
interrupt my speech!

- Please, sir...
- Hey! Leave me!

Are you trying to manhandle me?

Hey, leave me!

I really regret it now.

I was the one who pushed you
to come to this event.

It's not on you.

It was my decision
to come here and speak.

And look what happened!

You had promised me, you wouldn't
create any controversy!

Shut up!

You have no right

to dictate what I should say!

We just need two
minutes of his time, please.

Hello? Hello?

- Hello?
- Yeah.

- Hello?
- Yeah, Ma'am.

This is for a response.
Daniel sir's response.

- We just need two minutes.
- This is for you.

- Not me.
- Is it possible?

Hello?

Hello?

Two passengers.

- Hey, see that guy over there?
- Yeah.

- Show me your hands.
- Okay.

- There you go!
- Okay.

Let's try.

- This is your last prank.
- Okay.

- Rush, rush!
- Let's try. Come.

Hey, come, come!

Be quick!

- Excuse me!
- Excuse me!

- Way, please!
- Excuse me!

- Hey!
- Hey! Who is this?!

What!
What are you doing?!

What's going on here?

Come, come!

Who were those people?
What's the problem?

They just came from behind
and they attacked him.

It's okay.
It's okay.

- Sorry, Ma'am!
- Are you all right?

- It's just a prank for YouTube!
- Fine.

Your face will be
our next thumbnail, sir.

Sorry!

Here.

You alright?

Just a bit dizzy.

I think my sugar's low.

Give me my medicine.

Why did you drink
so much yesterday?

You are not allowed
to drink, Danny.

- Do you want some water?
- No

I'll just go to the washroom.

I'll be fine.

Your attention, please.

This is the final boarding call
for the flight to London.

We are now inviting all
remaining passengers...

Your attention, please.

This is the final boarding call
for the flight to London Heathrow.

This is the final boarding call...

Gate doors will close
in approximately five minutes.

I need your help.

My husband is inside
and it's final call for boarding.

Could you please check on him?

In the bathroom?
Come, let's check.

So, the passenger has taken
the opposite exit,

and he's going
to the next terminal.

Sir, that's not Daniel!

That's not how Daniel walks.

There's something wrong here.

How is that possible?

He was supposed to board
a flight to London!

It is possible, sir.

Passenger is travelling
to his home country.

We have his web check-in details
for that flight.

No luggage.

Put the boarding pass.

He has already boarded the flight.

Sir, something's wrong here.

Daniel will never go
to his home country!

His life is under threat there!

It's not Danny who travelled.

Sir… one second.

How exactly is this woman
related to him?

Abdul, she is Daniel's wife.

I don't think
they're legally married, sir.

Check his passport, sir.

His spouse's name
is listed as Lathika.

Sir, I think he must've travelled
without telling her.

Sir, what's going on here?

I want to report this
to the police.

I want to know where Daniel is!

Why doesn't anyone
understand this?

Don't panic like this, Ayesha.

This is not under my authority.

Let the flight land in Kochi.

I have sources there.

Alright?

XV524 FRA to Kochi...

Arrival is scheduled at 5:30 PM.

The flight is on time, sir.
Any issue?

The former scientific advisor
of NHM, Daniel,

is arriving on that flight.

Once the flight lands,

send me his immigration photo
and entry stamp.

Sure, sir.

Thank you, Sreeni.

These were the kids who pulled
that prank on him.

It was after this that
Danny started feeling weak.

That's why I'm saying this
with certainty,

Danny's life is in danger!

Why didn't you
complain immediately?

Those kids ran out immediately.

The guy who shot the video
said it was a prank

and apologised to Danny.

But they've sprayed
something on him.

I'm sure about it!

Send this jacket to the lab immediately
and get a forensic report on it.

It's urgent.

Ayesha, your phone?

This is a photo of two people who seemed
suspicious at the airport today.

Get their details
from the Malayali association.

Sure, sir.

Question them through the consulate,
without involving the local police.

- Alright?
- Alright.

Come, Ayesha.

Ayesha, just be seated here.
I'll be right back.

Sir, Daniel didn't tweet anything

during the last three days
of the event.

This is all fabricated!

This is JPS's official tweet.

Do you think they'd repost it
if it wasn't verified?

As far as I know, Daniel's health
was normal until we arrived here.

I can show you
his last medical reports.

Didn't he mention that to you, sir?

Sreeni...

A Shakti Group ambulance
is waiting here, sir.

There's a medical emergency reported

under the same passenger name,
Daniel James.

He'll be taken straight from the flight
to the ambulance.

Sreeni...
I told you, right?

At any risk,

I need a picture of Daniel
when he clears immigration!

They were two guys,
Vicky and Yusuf.

Neither of you
knew these guys before?

No, sir.

We just went there
to be volunteers.

And the videos were uploaded?

They said all the videos
would be uploaded together.

Who asked you to do such
a prank inside the airport?

It was Vicky's suggestion.

And that sir was also
at the event, right?

So we didn't think
it would be a problem.

Like always,

we took the moisturising lotion
from them.

But the lotion they gave
that time…

It seemed a bit different.

A while after I applied it
on my hands,

I felt a burning sensation.

Extremely sorry, sir.

It was a direct order
from the ministry.

Immigration clearance
was bypassed,

and Daniel has been moved to
Shakti Institute of Medical Science.

I couldn't verify
his passport, sir.

Let's head to the airport.

Your luggage must've been
offloaded there.

By the time you collect it,
I'll find Danny.

Could you please tell me where
this group of men are heading?

Hey, what's in that letter?

Since they have a performance
the next day,

it's a permission letter exempting the
musical instruments from X-ray scanning.

But how is that even possible?

Fine-tuned musical instruments
are exempt from scanning.

That's the arriving country's headache.

We already screened them
when they arrived here.

Such equipment is exempted
during departure.

They should have travelled
from terminal C.

Why did they take this entry?

Abdul, who was that flight
chartered for?

It was scheduled by Shakti Corporation.

Departure time was
7:15 in the evening.

Destination?

Kochi Marine Base Airport.

Sir, it's confirmed in the report.

A chemical called
VX nerve agent was used.

The symptoms match
the girls' statements.

Ayesha, what was the last
medicine Daniel took?

Err...

Ayesha, Danny was poisoned.

As per my assumption, he has been
kidnapped in a private carrier.

But he won't die

because he sensed
the poisoning beforehand!

Sir, this is the team.

The team leader is Vignesh,
alias Vicky.

SP, STF. 2014 batch.

Ahmed Yusuf alias Yusuf,

DySP, STF.

Expert in counter-surveillance
and interrogation, 2011 batch.

VX, also known as Novichok,
was developed

at the DRW lab in Avadi.

Sai was in charge
of monitoring its levels.

They must have run trials
there to test

if it could be used
in moisturising lotion packets.

Tie his legs!

Sir! Sir! Sir!

Sir, Daniel has retrieved
his Twitter account.

VIMATHAN [Dissident]

The post thanking you was
taken down five minutes ago.

If he is alive right now,

he will respond soon!

[VIMATHAN HAS ENDED HIS EXILE]

I don't want any speculations.

Daniel James has been working
as a lecturer in the U.K. all this time.

But ever since he left,

his health has been
continuously deteriorating.

So

It's the government's responsibility

to ensure he receives
the medical treatment he deserves.

So I'm just facilitating that.

Hello, doc...

If the patient isn't brought
to the hospital soon,

things could get complicated.

I understand.

I understand your concern.

My team will get Daniel here
as quickly as possible.

- So, you be prepared...
- Okay.

- And let's hope for the best.
- Alright.

Where are they?

They are in the board room, sir.

How many times have I told you

not to underestimate him!

He is a trained...

Sir, our execution
hasn't slipped anywhere.

The amount of chemical
we used was perfect.

- Even then...
- Did I ask for an explanation?

Wherever he is,

find me Daniel right now!

Or else,
this leave period of yours...

I will turn it into a dismissal order!

Is that clear?

Daniel doesn't have
the strength to survive that fall.

There's no way he's still alive.

- Then find me his body!
- Sir...

Daniel's wife is causing a scene,
insisting on seeing him.

You need to come speak to her,

or she won't stop.

Why won't you let me
see my husband?

Daniel, who's inside...
I'm his partner.

I have every right to see him.

Ma'am, strictly no visitors.

Those are the doctor's orders.

- Hey, stop it!
- Sir, my name is Ayesha Iqbal.

I am Daniel's wife.

He was supposed to
return with me,

but you had him kidnapped
and brought here!

I need to see him!

Listen, Madam. I've just come from
checking on Daniel's condition.

Visitors will only be allowed
once the doctors give permission.

This is a hospital.

We have to follow the rules.

I'm not just any visitor.

I'm his wife!

Sorry, I don't understand.

How exactly is Daniel
your husband?

Are you legally married to him?

To prove what you're saying...

Is there any legal relationship
between you and Daniel?

We've been living together
for a while now.

- Isn't that proof enough?
- That might work in your country!

The Daniel I know
has only been married once.

It might have been
a failed marriage,

but that woman

is right here.

Why are you more concerned
than she is?

So, as far as I and this hospital
management are concerned,

you're nothing more than
an ordinary visitor.

Is that clear?

Ayesha, get into the car.

Madam, I'm glad I could meet you here,

but you don't know
the situation Daniel is in.

At least, can you take this seriously?

Daniel has been poisoned.

Our priority should be to get him
out of here immediately.

Ayesha...

Get in.

If we leave,
they'll kill Daniel!

I'm certain of it!

But who told you
Danny is even in there?

The hospital only has
his name on the register.

He's not inside.

There's no point shouting here.

Just get in, Ayesha.

Danny is safe.

Nothing's going to happen to him.

How do you know that?

I can't tell you that right now.

Wear your seat belt.

Come. I want you
to meet somebody.

Give me your ID.

How is she now, Chechi?

She's started eating again.

She's undergoing a scan now.

Chechi, can you please
come inside?

We've got a date
for next Thursday.

Are you scared
to appear in court, dear?

[Lathika] Do you recognise
that girl, Ayesha?

- [Ayesha] No.
- [Lathika] She is Athira,

a 11th standard student.

A victim of Shakti's free laptop scheme.

It was at my request,
for her sake,

that Daniel shot that vlog.

Making sure she didn't make it to court

was vital for the Shakti Group.

Luckily, she survived.

For the next hearing, we need her
in court to give her statement.

That's what Daniel needs.

Only a victim's testimony

can win us this case.

If your office can't even handle
a single document safely,

I think you should
shut this company down!

That's my problem, Dad.

That's not why I got
the summons, is it?

Hey, I've got so many cases
against me.

Do I show up for every hearing?

I told you, son

let's shift the dates!

I'm not like you, Dad.

I don't play dirty games like switching
judges the moment I get a summons!

If Daniel is the reason
this reached court,

you should've dealt with him!

I should've dealt with him!

Hey, he is a

popular figure!

No matter what we do to him,

people will blame me!

How many people am I answerable to?

And look where we are now.

I told you again and again
this foolish plan would never work!

But you still wanted to bring him back
and prove he'd joined your side!

Fake treatment, transplant, killing.

It's all fallen apart now,
hasn't it?

Dad

you should understand one thing!

Throughout your life,

you've never had
a clean image in politics!

Hey, you're using my money
to run this company!

But I'm running the damn show here!

No one's going to build statues for you
or name roads after you.

No matter how much money
you burn on it,

you're not going to earn it!

Can you please tell me
where Danny is right now?

Didn't I tell you?
He is safe.

That's all I know.

There's somebody
who's helping him.

I came to the hospital

just to avoid any suspicion.

They are ruthless criminals.

This used to be Daniel's study.

When we separated,

I got this house.

You can freshen up here.

Take some rest.

Nothing's going to happen

to the Daniel I know.

I'll get an update soon.

Listen, you guys!

We're really running out of time!

Go get me the phone.

Everything Daniel did at
the summit, everyone he met,

the video he played at the event,
each and everything!

I want it on the screen... now!

I don't want a damn vlogger
to be the end of Shakti!

What's happening?
Get to work!

Listen, Dibakar... Don't panic.

Let's work from reverse.
You have his video, right?

Get me that first!

Yeah.

This is the secret
behind that single click.

Freeze there!

Zoom the document.

This is the original document
with my signature!

Highly classified!

A legal agreement known only
to Shakti Group and the Government.

How did he get it?

How the hell did Daniel get it??

It's gone from here.

Throw the names of everyone with access
to this document up on the screen.

Throw it!

On your screen, sir.

Scroll down.

Stop.

Did Michael have access to it?

Yes, sir. Michael was handling
the program alterations.

So where is Michael now?

Where is he?

Where is he?

Michael hasn't been to the office
for the past two weeks.

After Jyothi died,
his colleagues say

that he's moved back
to his wife's place in Bangalore.

Dibakar, just think about it.

Even after getting hold
of such an exclusive document,

why hasn't Daniel made
a vlog about it yet?

Why wait for our summit
to reveal it?

And if it was Michael
who gave it to Daniel,

Micheal would
never send it by email.

He's not that stupid!

Hello sir, This is Ayesha.

Danny has booked a ticket to Faraha
for somebody named Michael.

Send that ticket to me.
I'll check.

Michael met Daniel in person.

And it happened
during our event.

Shortlist Bangalore-Faraha
flight timings.

Get all the visual data
from our arrival kiosks

on the screen now, please.

Sir...

Yes. Play.

Not this, not this.
Forward.

Forward, forward.

Move!

Apply face match
using Michael's facial attributes.

When did he get there?

Sir, final day of the event.

Morning 2:35 AM arrival time.

He crossed the arrival gate
at 5:10 AM.

The same day Daniel gave
his presentation, right?

Yes, sir.

Do you know this Michael,
Ayesha?

No way, sir!

Danny usually tells me everything,

but he has never mentioned
anyone by that name.

Michael arrived the same day
Daniel gave his talk.

Moreover,
he returned the same day.

That means Michael spent
only about 6 hours in Faraha.

Ayesha, could you recollect

anything unusual
from Danny that day?

Sir, he went out for a walk
early in the morning.

Let me step out for a walk.

It's suffocating in here.

Daniel doesn't usually go for walks.

Let me check.

Vignesh!
You were there, right?

And yet, none of you
noticed him leave?

You should've just followed him!

We were sticking to our plan.

We didn't have instructions
to follow Daniel.

Is it, Vignesh?

Are you incapable
of making your own decisions?

All grown up now,

aren't you?

Yeah, the passenger took a cab
from the airport.

It then crossed Highway 38,

entered Omar Syed avenue,

and then finally
it stopped at The Paul, 3rd street.

Could you please let me know

if a person wearing a cap
has entered the location further?

Yeah, that's true.

As per my assumption,

Daniel met Michael
somewhere outside the resort.

20 minutes...

Daniel spent 20 minutes with Michael.

Michael must have handed over
our document to Daniel

within that time.

This is an agreement signed by
DRW and Shakti Group in 2021.

It is the only document that proves

they have been using
Periscope to spy on civilians.

Where did you get it from?

When Periscope was handed over
to Shakti,

I was the person responsible.

Every year,
when the program is updated,

I'm required to verify
this document.

I need you to present this
at the summit for me, Danny sir.

Why should I trust you?

Sir, I told you, right?

I need redemption.

Sympathy for your dead girlfriend!

And yet you don't have the nerve
to expose any of this yourself!

I pity you, Michael.

You should be the one
disclosing this, not me.

Jyothi wanted to be an approver
in court against Shakti Group.

It's difficult for me, sir.

With the non-disclosure agreements
I've already signed

the contracts

my family, my child...

Wasn't Jyothi your family as well?

Even if I'm the one who
exposes this,

you'll still be in danger.

But I'll know it

before you do.

You will get a call
from this number.

Follow those instructions.

I'm not saying this
to provoke you.

But you deserve to know.

Jyothi didn't just die
of natural causes.

To silence her once and for all,

they murdered her!

[Raghu] Michael got here
on the day of Daniel's talk.

And he went back the same day.

That...!

That is the lead
we're looking for!

Michael Devassy.

Find out where he is.

You find Michael,
you get Daniel!

That's it!

- Dibakar.
- Sir?

How long did it take me
to crack this?

Sir, almost 23 minutes.

23 minutes...

The time I took
to track and find someone.

That's more than enough.

These are the possible
location coordinates

where Daniel might've landed,
judging by his fall.

It's close to Mangalore coastline.

Unbelievable!

So he waited precisely
until he crossed the border?

Sir, we were almost
30 minutes away from landing.

He must have calculated
the airspace.

But that fall

he'd never survive that.

Hey, go on.

Dad!

Vimathan's... Err...

Which IP address was
Daniel's tweet posted from?

That's what struck me as strange.

The tweet was posted from Delhi.

From Daniel's old apartment
in Defence Colony.

He jumps into Mangalore
and tweets from Delhi?

Sir, it could be
an automated reply.

How else is that possible, sir?

Someone is helping him!

Give me your hand!

English?

Hindi?

Marathi?

Kannada, Kannada!

[in Kannada]
Which place is this?

Mangalore.

Who are you, sir?

Sir... Who are you, sir?

Sir... Who are you, sir?

What are you doing?

Who are you?

Sir... Are you a terrorist
or with the police?

Soldier!

Give me the radio.

What if someone
Daniel deeply trusts

tweeted on his behalf?

- Yusuf.
- Sir?

Who maintains
Daniel's Delhi apartment?

A colonel who was with Daniel at the DTA,

Colonel Rahim Nayik.

Retired.

He's been bedridden
for the past few years.

Rahim Sahib.

Rahim Sir once taught me
signal communication.

We checked the colonel's call records.

There's no suspicious behaviour.

No new calls apart from
his regular contacts in the past few days.

You guys! That's because they're not using
the modern way of communication!

Both of them are
old Signal Corps officers.

Long before today's internet
or social media even existed,

these officers used to communicate
using encrypted messages

in ways we can't
even imagine today!

I've heard my father say

there was a time when these two
held this nation together.

Even then, Daniel's mind
didn't need supercomputers!

And Rahim Sahib didn't need weapons
to win a war!

All these years,
they weren't gathering followers,

but faith!

Trust!

Do you realise what will happen
if they join forces again?

Blast!

I want to make my mark
in that moment.

I don't want to die!
Find them!

During a Naga insurgency operation
he led in 2008,

Colonel Rahim lost a leg.

Twelve soldiers were killed
in that mission.

Why would Daniel trust
someone like him?

Because it was not his mistake!
Damn it!

That operation was never on records.

So, the Colonel took responsibility
for those deaths.

Even Rahim Sahib's posting
to the academy

was a form of punishment.

In front of teachers
far junior to him,

he worked as a mere instructor.

But everyone was against him.

That was the media narrative.

But he really fought
for their justice.

Finally, Rahim Sir proved to the
government that it wasn't his mistake.

Unfortunately,
no one reported it.

But Daniel

given his current situation,

it's unlikely anyone other than
Rahim Sahib would help him.

There's another reason for that.

A secret

that very few know about.

Sir, Daniel has reached the location.
Shall we go in?

Make sure he is inside,

and not armed.

Copy that, sir!

Anju,

for this one day, I need
you to take care of Sir

more than you've ever
taken care of me.

It's not a request.

It's an order!

Rahim, you'll have to handle
this on your own.

We've got far bigger storms
to weather.

These kids are just amateurs.

Until you cross Kathmandu,

no one will intercept
this ambulance.

Have a safe flight!

Sir, there's no response.
Shall we break in?

Go ahead.

Keep it low.

Rahim Sahib...

Why are you helping Danny?

He's turned out to be a traitor.

Sreedharan Sir...

From the day
our friendship began,

Danny has never once
asked me for a favour.

But when trouble strikes,

having his back
without being asked...

Isn't that a soldier's code, sir?

Since he needs to stay
off the radar for a while,

I decided to take charge of this house
and everything here.

And this gun...

Because of the death threats
from Maoists,

your department issued me
this pistol for self-defence.

But this gun can't tell

if the attackers are Maoists

or men from our own department.

Hey! You're wasting your time
looking around, brother.

You're not going to find anything.

Get your boys and clear out, sir.

You take care.

If it was Rahim Sahib
who helped Daniel leave the country,

even to bring him back,

he will be the key.

Sir, our team is at
Daniel's Delhi apartment.

Shall we go in?

Still the same old shit, man!

Sure, go in and check.

You won't find squat!

Hello?

What happened?

Why aren't you at school, dear?

Dad said I can take leave today!

Why didn't you drop her
off at school?

Uma, I don't have time.
I need to leave.

What's your problem, Michael?

We were just trying to start over.

If you're here, at least take
responsibility for our daughter!

If you can't do that,
this won't work.

Look, I don't think I can live
an ordinary life anymore!

I'm answerable
to too many people.

If I don't leave from here now,

your life won't be normal either.

How long will you live
in fear of these people?

You're not willing
to work anymore!

Let's just go back
to the way things were.

Wouldn't that be better?

I'll never have the life
I once had.

I want you and our
daughter with me.

But for that,
you need to give me some time.

I have to sort out a few things.

If possible,

can you please drop me off?

Please...

- Can I get this car?
- Yes, sir.

Sir, we need your Aadhaar card too.

Won't my driving licence do?

I'm afraid not, sir.

Sir, Michael's Aadhaar card has been
scanned at Tevis Car Rentals, Bangalore!

Shall we go?

That's it, guys.

They're on their way to Daniel.

Will you take it on from here, Vignesh?

Did I ask you to take this road?

- It's a straight highway.
- No, no. Take this round.

And exit.

Three rules!

No highways,

no tolls, and strictly

no Google Maps!

Sir.

Danny...

Danny!

Danny!!

Rahim...

Death...

I can see it staring
right back at me.

- I'm running out of time, man!
- Hey...

I'm here, right?

Don't give up yet.
Hang in there for me.

I'm not going to
let you die like this!

We need to shift Daniel immediately!

He needs a blood transfusion.

Sir...

Sir, the car is currently stationed
near St. Antony's Church,

in the Mangalore New Port area.

If the car moves,

you can see it in this tracker.

It's been ages

since we hit the road
like this together, Danny.

Back in the day,

we didn't need anyone's help
to get around, did we?

Man, the things we've done!

If I kick the bucket
along the way,

don't bother with a funeral.

Just dump me in a river

or toss me off a cliff.

Ever since last night,

all you've been doing is
harping on about dying.

Shut up about death
and say something else, man!

What's there to talk
about living anyway?

I'm more worried about this guy.

Right?

In the end, you might be
the last one standing.

Do you think
joining us was a mistake?

No, sir.

What Jyothi couldn't finish…

Shouldn't I see it through?

I get these spasms
every now and then.

Guess I've been idle too long, huh?

How did this happen, sir?

War!

What else would it be?

But... only to end up as a warrior
this country didn't want.

Two bullets!

When there was no other option,
they had to amputate it.

I really should've just died
on that field, right?

At least the others would've
received what they deserved.

Hey! Drop it, man!

That was years ago!

You hate it
when I talk about dying,

but you can go on
all you want, huh?

Go faster!
Closer!

Hey!

Eyes on the road!

Michael, whose car is this?

- I rented it, sir.
- Hey!

I'm avoiding Google Maps
and toll booths

so we leave no digital trail…

And you pull
a stupid stunt like this?

Hey, take left!

Hey! Careful!

Shit!

Don't slow!

Danny

pass me my bag!

Hey, it's them!
Be careful!

Yes.

- Fast! Fast!
- Yeah!

Find the gun!
Goddammit!

- Danny!
- Yes!

- I'm still too weak for this!
- Hey!

I'm not what I used to be.
I need backup!

Come on!

Come on! Jump!

Go now!

Sir! Sir!

Go, go, go!

Shit!

Danny, this is Captain Haridas.

He was part of my team.

We've sourced O+ blood for you
from a blood bank

in advance.

We've briefed your lead doctor
and the nursing staff

on the gravity of the situation.

At Lathika's request

the prison ward where they're
holding that student

is being monitored
by Haridas's men.

Rahim...

I'm going to be stuck
here for a while.

There's no point
in you staying here.

Nothing must happen to that girl
at the Kochi hospital.

You have to be there.

Sir...

Hello, Michael.

Where are you now?

Daniel's condition is quite serious.

There was an attempt on his life.

Luckily, he escaped.

We have to retrieve him.

What do you want me to do, sir?

[Rahim] All the military facilities

are connected to a common server.

A full blood transfusion

takes about 3.5 to 4 hours.

That means you'll get four hours

to breach into their system
and do the job!

I've got the list
of the latest phone numbers.

What next?

Vlog No. 113.

Vimathan here!

For getting me back to my country
without it costing me a penny,

I owe a huge thanks
to my friend JPS.

But guys,

I'm in bad shape.

I'm poisoned.

So, by the time this video ends,

I might end up with facial palsy.

To prevent that,
the doctors recommend

immediate dialysis.

Up until now,

I haven't had
the opportunity to give you

a proper demonstration
of Periscope.

Today, I finally have the chance.

And it's not just anyone's phone…

Let's try hijacking the phone
of the very same JPS

who did this to me.

What you're seeing here

is the list of phone numbers
being sent to DRW's Periscope cell.

As you can see,

it's a bundle of ten
individual phone numbers.

I'm removing one at random

and replacing it with
JPS's phone number.

The numbers are encrypted there.

Then, they're fed into
the Periscope program.

What we need now

is the kind of bait
JPS can't help but click.

- Sir?
- Any update?

Sir, there are other people
helping him.

We're trying to track that car.

Is there any leak from our end?

No, sir.
Never!

Is there any chance

one of your team members
spoke to the media?

No, sir.
You can trust my team.

Anybody from our lab?

No, sir. Everything was
through proper channel.

No one suspects a thing.

Then where did we fail, Vignesh?

Sir, we personally monitored
the chemical levels.

It was exactly the same
that was used in Jyothi's case.

It's very hard to detect.

Daniel must have somehow
managed to take the antidote.

Otherwise, he wouldn't
have survived, sir.

The chemical they're referring to

is a nerve agent.

If the antidote isn't taken

within five minutes
of it getting into your body,

death is certain.

What kind of fools are you guys?

- Then find the...
- Sir, drink?

Errr, no.

Sir, please switch off
your phone.

We're about to take off.

Thank you!

Sir, his phone has just
switched to aeroplane mode.

- What next?
- Now

get into his frickin' life!

Every message he's sent,

every call he's made,
every photo he's taken,

his bank transactions,
videos, chats, emails...

Every file in there
is a story written in blood.

So

Beware, Michael.

Jyothi will be in there too.

It's time for your redemption!

Sir...

He posted it half an hour ago.

He's claiming
he got it from your phone.

[JPS] Ask her to compromise
the case for 2.5.

Or else, let's negotiate
with her husband again.

Listen to our "honourable" minister
proposing a payoff

to bury the sexual assault complaint
against him for two and a half crores.

And if she doesn't budge,

his plan is to negotiate
with her husband instead.

Call our IT Cell!

Make sure this video
doesn't get out!

This letter, signed by JPS,

is the release order
for the chemical.

The chemical reaction
will be instantaneous.

No chemical traces will be
found in the autopsy.

Cause of death:
Infection post surgery.

[news] Protests erupt at the airport...

[faint sounds of news playing on TV]

Call the media and stop
this bloody broadcast!

Impossible, sir.
It's everywhere!

[reporters shouting]

Sir, the media is making
a huge scene outside.

Shall we wait or exit through
the departure gate?

Why should I do that?
I'm not scared of any media trial.

I will use the main exit!

Sir.

Go back! Go back!
JPS, go back!

Go back! Go back!
JPS, go back!

Go back! Go back!
JPS, go back!

[sloganeering continues]

Visiting hours are over.

The ward gates
will close at 8 PM.

Except for the bystanders with cards,
everyone else must leave now.

Sir, it's Satheeshan.

My shift is up,

but Binu is late again.

He's not answering his phone.

What am I supposed to do, sir?

Your shift must be
ending now, right?

It ended ages ago! I'm just worried
the replacement hasn't arrived.

I take it he's not
answering his phone?

There are people here,

just biding their time
until you're gone

so they can enter the ward.

I can see them.

Can you, sir?

There are three of them.

Do you see that
"bystander" over there?

He doesn't have a patient
in this ward.

And that male nurse
coming this way

you wouldn't have seen him
on shift earlier.

He's wearing an ID,

but the photo doesn't match.

As for that doctor
who just started his shift...

Are you sure
he's even a doctor, sir?

One of them will slip in

and kill that girl.

Will you be able to stop him?

Binu, the one you called?
He isn't coming.

And your chief won't be
answering any more calls today.

If you open this door for me now,

I'll shift that girl.

Who are you?

Colonel Rahim Nayik.

'93 Maratha Regiment.

Do we have a deal?

Please!

Hey!

Who are you?

Move aside!

[Nurse] Who is it?

Who are you?

Security!

Didn't you hear me?

Security!

Doctor!

- Who let you in here?
- Shush!

This is an ICU ward!

What are you doing?

Security!

Doctor, please call someone!

- Hey!
- Who are you people?

Move aside!

Sir, it was a stabbing.

He was stabbed multiple times.

The cause of death
is a wound to the neck.

The ASI has given a statement

that the Colonel was helping him.

So there are no issues
with the formalities.

You're free to take the body
whenever you like.

To keep our motherland
from being torn apart,

he gave up his own leg
in the line of duty.

Show him respect!

Sorry, sir.
A funeral without a guard of honour...

Who did this to Rahim?

I want to know that!

He had warned me…
that they'd make their way in.

Everything just… happened so fast.

The ones who left…

Scattered in different directions.

Did they kidnap the girl…

Or kill her?

I don't know… anything.

Rahim is communicating!

Rewind and play.

A prisoner of war

in North Vietnam,

Commander Jeremiah Denton.

He blinked his eyes

to the news cameras
in a pattern.

That pattern was later
decoded as "Torture".

'T' 'O' 'R'...

'T' 'U' 'R' 'E'.

Alphabet 'O',

Alphabet 'L',

Alphabet 'I',

'V',

'E',

Numeric '1',

'2',

Alphabet 'C'.

OLIVE 12C.

Olive...

That's...

That's the apartment
where Jyothi used to stay.

Vlog number 114.

Vimathan here.

Today,

I'm not the one
who'll be doing the talking.

It'll be two other people.

The Victim,

and The Predator!

Think of this as your chance to speak up.

To everyone who
pointed fingers at you...

To everyone who
cast you aside...

It's time to stand your ground
and respond with courage.

In 10th grade,

I got an A+.

I was given the laptop

midway through 11th grade.

At first,

I used it only for my studies.

But eventually,

we started using it
to watch movies and the news.

My dad didn't even know
what entrance exams were,

yet he still signed me up
for NEET coaching.

During the laptop
distribution phase itself,

a surveillance system

was already pre-installed
on them.

The company used it to track
the specific struggles of every household.

And in this case,

it was Athira's coaching fees.

Forcing people into a new loan
just to pay off

the interest on the previous one.

Shakti's major revenue

comes from these call centres.

Since there's minimal
documentation required,

people are easily drawn in.

An amount like that is just
peanuts for a company like Shakti, right?

That's exactly where

everyone gets it wrong.

10.2% of the total population is
Below the Poverty Line (BPL).

And they are all eligible

for this laptop scheme.

Whenever I have to change
my clothes at home,

my father and brother
have to step outside.

At that point,

that someone might be
watching me through the laptop

how was I to know?

Shame

is greater than guilt.

Shame is exactly what Shakti targets.

The fear of being shamed

drives people to repay
whatever the company demands.

And as for those who can't pay...

My mother spoke out

about the online loan
my dad had taken,

and the threats
he had been receiving.

The police said they were
taking me for counselling.

But instead, they blamed me
for my father's death!

Had I known this then,

I too would have
followed my father.

Come on!

Sir, Shakti's Kochi office
is about to be raided!

- It's better to inform him.
- Then do something!

Delay it!

Everyone, cut your calls!

Remove the CPUs!

Take out the hard disks,
thrash it!

Don't just stand there
gaping like morons!

Take this out!
Take this out now!

Now! Fast!

And break it!

Do it!

Dad, if its about the raid,

I already know about it.

Don't discuss anything
over the phone!

Do you hear me?

Hey... when are you going
to realise the situation?

I am out!

They've already launched
an internal inquiry against me.

And till then,

I've been "advised"
to leave the country.

When I return,
I won't be a minister anymore!

Please, just listen to me, Dad!

We'll talk later.
Not over the phone!

If not now,
when will you ever stand by me?

Dad, just shut your mouth
and listen to me!

Don't you get it, even after everything
that's happened in your life today?

Your friend is listening!

Daniel Sir...

You can hear everything, right?

[sloganeering]

I'm sorry, sir.

I underestimated you.

Michael is with you, isn't he?

He knows that

I recruit programmers
with a specific age.

Below 40s...
for a sharper brain!

But you

you've proven all
my calculations wrong.

JPS's life...

To destroy my father's life

all you needed was four hours.

I admire you, sir!

Shakti... Just... Just stop it!

Dad... Please!

It's the same old scenario.

Daniel Sir and Michael
are together...

And I am alone

struggling to survive.

You made me survive that day, sir.

But you don't know
what my father did, do you?

Minister JPS is on the line.

FO's father.

Daniel sir...

You don't have to save him
just because he's my son.

He has violated his training protocol.

If his fate is to die,

let him die.

Viper reporting cockpit fire!

Requesting permission
for emergency landing!

That cockpit fire
was no accident.

My father created it.

Do you know why?

Elections were coming.

The party wasn't
confirming JPS's ticket.

But if his son died

especially during
military training

his seat would be assured
based on that sentiment.

Right, Dad?

Shakti, stop it!

Stop it!
You're crossing the limit!

That's what really happened, sir.

You can check with Michael.

The HUD was tampered with.

That's why the cockpit caught fire.

I reported it,
but nobody listened.

This is the only reason
Michael stood by me for so long.

Isn't that right?

No, no! All those are
just your assumptions!

You made a mistake,
and I brought you back!

That is what happened!

Stop it, Dad!

Do you want to know
anything more now?

Just like you decided
my fate back then

today, I'll do the talking
and you will listen!

Salvaging this
won't be easy, Dad.

So, for my sake,

so that I can stay alive today...

I'm demanding this in return!

Just think about it, Dad.

If you want a statue
raised in your honour,

or a road named after you,

I want you to die.

You can't afford to lose, Dad.

Where are you now, Dad?

Son... I am in our library.

There's that famous photograph
of ours, right?

Can you walk towards it?

Once you're there

open the rack.

[Daniel] Towards your left,
in the emergency control panel,

there is a Jettison lever.

It's your personal pistol.

Browning 9mm.

It's loaded, Dad.

But sir,
I've never done that before!

Do you trust me?

Do you trust me, Dad?

Push the throttle hard
in the Z axis!

Pull the trigger.

Daniel sir...

Didn't you hear that gun shot?

Thank you for the motivation!

It was my father who'd been
holding me back all this time.

If I can get rid of him
with a single phone call

what harm could a girl's
statement possibly bring me?

Huh?

Delete all files leading to
Micheal, Jyothi,

Daniel and Rahim right now!

Sir...

Micheal is here!

His user ID just logged in.

Mike!

Mike!

I know you are here!

Why did you do it?

I thought we were a team, bro!

We started all this together,
didn't we?

We only started it together.

But I'm ending this

on my own!

I told you to silence Jyothi!

You didn't listen, right?

I begged you
to give her a chance!

You didn't listen, Shakti!

Shakti!

Shakti!

You still have got a chance.

Admit your mistakes!

Daniel sir,

mistake is yours!

You should've let me
die that day!

Right, dude?

I wanted you back

as a fighter, as a human being!

But you have no right
to kill people!

I still fight alone, Danny sir.

I still fight alone, Danny sir!

The last parcel Jyothi received
was a bottle of perfume.

Is it still here somewhere?

I have an approver.

Presenting the evidence
he has gathered as Exhibit 23 here.

This program in
the student laptop scheme...

Is that similar to Periscope?

Objection to her question!

Answer me, Michael!

Is that similar to Periscope?

Objection!

- Michael, you don't have to...
- This is my time!

And Micheal will answer that!

Michael, we have signed an NDA.

You read it thoroughly
before signing, right?

- We will have to sue you for...
- Shut your mouth!

Do you own this court?

Athira is my client
and Micheal will speak!

[Judge] Overruled!

Now answer me, Michael.

They're both the same program.

I recoded it for Shakti.

[Daniel] The battle that
Nalini Madam began,

has finally been won
through Athira.

Only age divides them.

One succumbed to death,

while the other resisted
and fought her way to victory.

The court praised Athira
for her courage to speak out

even at the risk
of losing her dignity.

The court ruled that
her future studies

are now the government's responsibility.

The order mandated a total recall

of every laptop issued
by Shakti Group to date,

replacing them with new systems
that ensure the safety of our children.

Trust you got the passport, Danny.

I never asked for it, sir.

Government wants you back, Danny.

Sir!

Should we seal this off now?

Rahim must be given
the respect he deserves.

Make that happen first, sir.

What do you mean?

Colonel Rahim is a martyr!

I want to see his name

on the National War Memorial!

I reckon it will be
difficult for you.

But I'll only step into that office
once I see it there.

Let it stay there, man.

Having it there

makes me believe
he's still around!

It gives me strength.

It's because of you

we got the program
back in the system, Danny.

They have accepted all your demands.

The chief wants you back, Danny.

He said you are a great Indian!

Great Indian what?

Well, he didn't say that.

Sir, do you remember

when we first installed
CCTV cameras here in Delhi?

We filed an affidavit
in court that day

stating that under no circumstances
would that footage be misused,

and the common man's privacy
would be protected at all costs.

Does that still hold true?

So what should I tell the chief?

Tell him to complete the sentence.

Who am I?

The great Indian traitor

or...

Patriot?

The room was never a room,

but a stall in a farm.

For someone to milk dry,
and when yield fails, to be slaughtered.

Not a dystopian animal farm.

But where he, his kind,

you, and I all reside:

A real Human Farm.
