1
00:00:44,125 --> 00:00:48,166
He should be here somewhere.
That means he has landed on our side.
2
00:00:48,250 --> 00:00:49,583
Any update on the rescue chopper?
3
00:01:14,458 --> 00:01:15,291
Jai Hind.
4
00:01:27,333 --> 00:01:30,000
The Indian Army
has spotted Ahuja's parachute.
5
00:01:30,083 --> 00:01:30,916
Where, sir?
6
00:01:32,458 --> 00:01:33,958
He's drifted across the LoC.
7
00:01:34,750 --> 00:01:36,416
Ahuja is in PoK, Tony.
8
00:02:38,500 --> 00:02:39,916
Dhali!
9
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,416
Ahuja ejected, man! Hurry up!
10
00:02:48,875 --> 00:02:50,208
{\an8}This Ahuja…
11
00:02:50,291 --> 00:02:52,000
Always going overboard.
12
00:02:53,166 --> 00:02:54,166
No problem.
13
00:02:55,166 --> 00:02:56,875
Let's bring him back.
14
00:02:58,250 --> 00:02:59,250
{\an8}Sinha!
15
00:03:01,958 --> 00:03:04,000
Ahuja has ejected.
We have to go look for him.
16
00:03:04,083 --> 00:03:05,166
What? When?
17
00:03:05,250 --> 00:03:06,583
Just a little while ago.
18
00:03:06,666 --> 00:03:08,958
We don't have much time.
Is there a chopper ready?
19
00:03:09,916 --> 00:03:11,708
- Is Nubra One ready at the takeoff point?
- Yes, sir.
20
00:03:11,791 --> 00:03:14,625
Run the final checks quickly.
I want to take off in two minutes.
21
00:03:15,416 --> 00:03:17,166
Did Ahuja activate his rescue beacon?
22
00:03:23,208 --> 00:03:25,625
Ahuja isn't in friendly territory, Sinha.
23
00:03:26,291 --> 00:03:27,791
I know him well.
24
00:03:27,875 --> 00:03:30,958
He will neither use the beacon
nor let them use it.
25
00:04:05,958 --> 00:04:07,958
Where the hell do you think you're going?
26
00:04:08,041 --> 00:04:09,708
We are going to get Ahuja, sir.
27
00:04:09,791 --> 00:04:11,458
Ahuja is in Pakistan, Tony.
28
00:04:11,541 --> 00:04:13,291
That doesn't matter, sir.
29
00:04:13,375 --> 00:04:15,833
Our choppers are fitted
with both guns and rockets.
30
00:04:15,916 --> 00:04:18,583
We will rescue him, sir.
You have to trust us.
31
00:04:18,666 --> 00:04:20,166
What if they shoot you?
32
00:04:20,916 --> 00:04:22,375
Who's going to go look for you?
33
00:04:24,125 --> 00:04:27,333
It's a trap. Basic military strategy.
34
00:04:27,416 --> 00:04:29,750
Sir, we can't just sit back
and do nothing.
35
00:04:34,291 --> 00:04:35,791
It is a diplomatic matter now.
36
00:04:35,875 --> 00:04:38,916
I'll talk to the government,
take it to the highest level.
37
00:04:40,041 --> 00:04:42,041
You cannot cross the LoC.
38
00:04:43,250 --> 00:04:44,541
Understood?
39
00:05:45,708 --> 00:05:47,958
In breaking news coming from South Asia,
40
00:05:48,041 --> 00:05:49,291
the Indian Air Force has confirmed
41
00:05:49,375 --> 00:05:52,083
that two of its fighter pilots
are missing in action
42
00:05:52,166 --> 00:05:54,166
after their jets were reportedly shot down
43
00:05:54,250 --> 00:05:57,458
over the Line of Control
in Kashmir's Kargil sector.
44
00:05:57,541 --> 00:05:59,916
World leaders are monitoring
the developments closely
45
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,708
amidst widespread concern
46
00:06:01,791 --> 00:06:04,666
that this may prove to be
a dangerous tipping point
47
00:06:04,750 --> 00:06:07,416
in the ongoing Kargil conflict
between the two…
48
00:06:07,500 --> 00:06:08,708
Long live Pakistan, sir.
49
00:06:08,791 --> 00:06:10,166
I'm watching the news, Aziz.
50
00:06:10,250 --> 00:06:12,333
- Well done.
- Thank you, sir.
51
00:06:12,916 --> 00:06:16,666
But now this issue
will escalate internationally, Aziz.
52
00:06:16,750 --> 00:06:20,375
American satellites
will be monitoring the Line of Control.
53
00:06:20,875 --> 00:06:22,083
So, for now,
54
00:06:22,166 --> 00:06:26,000
halt all movement of soldiers
and their supplies.
55
00:06:26,083 --> 00:06:29,666
Sir, India has deployed
15,000 more soldiers in the Kargil sector.
56
00:06:30,458 --> 00:06:31,625
Stopping the movement now--
57
00:06:31,708 --> 00:06:34,708
Whether it's 1,000 or 15,000,
what difference does it make, Aziz?
58
00:06:36,583 --> 00:06:39,333
It's been over three weeks
since we were discovered.
59
00:06:39,416 --> 00:06:41,458
We have killed 250 of their soldiers,
60
00:06:41,541 --> 00:06:42,791
shot down two jets.
61
00:06:42,875 --> 00:06:45,458
Has the Indian Air Force or the Army
managed to hurt us in any way?
62
00:06:45,541 --> 00:06:49,041
As long as we hold the height advantage,
63
00:06:49,125 --> 00:06:53,333
we'll keep crushing
both their Army and their Air Force.
64
00:06:55,041 --> 00:06:56,125
Right, sir.
65
00:06:56,208 --> 00:06:58,875
I trust both pilots are in our custody?
66
00:06:58,958 --> 00:07:00,708
We've caught one, sir.
67
00:07:00,791 --> 00:07:01,916
He's unconscious at the moment.
68
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,208
And the second?
69
00:07:03,291 --> 00:07:04,375
The search is ongoing, sir.
70
00:07:04,458 --> 00:07:06,500
The area has been identified.
We'll get him soon.
71
00:07:11,625 --> 00:07:12,666
Excellent.
72
00:07:14,208 --> 00:07:16,833
Let's see how many more pilots
73
00:07:16,916 --> 00:07:19,875
the Indian Air Force
is willing to send to their deaths.
74
00:07:49,250 --> 00:07:50,750
We've found the parachute, sir.
75
00:07:55,833 --> 00:07:56,958
We've found the parachute, sir.
76
00:08:18,458 --> 00:08:19,958
The Station Commander himself is here.
77
00:08:24,250 --> 00:08:25,708
I hope it's nothing serious?
78
00:08:28,083 --> 00:08:30,500
No. He's not in ceremonial uniform.
79
00:08:30,583 --> 00:08:32,625
Ajay had to eject during a mission.
80
00:08:34,041 --> 00:08:36,125
We are waiting for further information.
81
00:08:36,208 --> 00:08:38,625
As soon as we find out more,
we'll update you.
82
00:10:01,791 --> 00:10:03,958
General Zinni, what a pleasant surprise.
83
00:10:04,041 --> 00:10:06,375
{\an8}Is it, Mr. Prime Minister?
84
00:10:07,166 --> 00:10:11,250
{\an8}My office has requested meetings
five times in the last week.
85
00:10:11,833 --> 00:10:13,541
I apologize, General.
86
00:10:14,500 --> 00:10:17,125
The situation at the LoC is quite tense.
87
00:10:17,208 --> 00:10:19,458
Which is precisely why I'm calling.
88
00:10:20,291 --> 00:10:22,333
President Clinton is deeply concerned
89
00:10:22,416 --> 00:10:25,166
and wants you to de-escalate immediately.
90
00:10:25,250 --> 00:10:27,041
They're not our troops, General.
91
00:10:27,833 --> 00:10:28,958
They are Mujahideen.
92
00:10:29,041 --> 00:10:32,625
Delhi claims that it's your army
disguised as militants.
93
00:10:32,708 --> 00:10:35,958
Quite frankly,
given the scale, it is compelling.
94
00:10:38,708 --> 00:10:40,458
Who do you trust, General?
95
00:10:41,166 --> 00:10:42,791
Your old ally, Pakistan,
96
00:10:43,666 --> 00:10:46,500
who stood by you faithfully
for the last 50 years--
97
00:10:46,583 --> 00:10:48,875
Speaking of allies, Mr. Prime Minister,
98
00:10:48,958 --> 00:10:51,416
what is your army chief doing in Beijing?
99
00:10:56,291 --> 00:11:00,000
That's a personal visit, General.
It has nothing to do with this situation.
100
00:11:00,083 --> 00:11:01,875
Mr. Sharif, you do understand
101
00:11:01,958 --> 00:11:04,833
that if India and Pakistan
go to nuclear war,
102
00:11:05,375 --> 00:11:09,416
100 million people could lose their lives
in the immediate aftermath?
103
00:11:09,500 --> 00:11:10,833
Right now, sir,
104
00:11:10,916 --> 00:11:15,083
you are just one reckless decision away
from setting it off.
105
00:11:15,166 --> 00:11:17,875
President Clinton
is counting on your leadership,
106
00:11:18,458 --> 00:11:19,833
Mr. Prime Minister.
107
00:11:24,500 --> 00:11:27,416
This is my third war.
108
00:11:31,666 --> 00:11:33,125
And today…
109
00:11:34,750 --> 00:11:37,833
may well be the most difficult day…
110
00:11:39,166 --> 00:11:40,125
of my entire career.
111
00:11:47,083 --> 00:11:50,250
With great regret,
112
00:11:50,875 --> 00:11:55,958
I am suspending Operation Safed Sagar.
113
00:12:03,666 --> 00:12:04,916
With due respect, sir,
114
00:12:05,458 --> 00:12:07,333
we were first ordered
115
00:12:07,416 --> 00:12:09,833
not to cross the LoC
while engaging the enemy.
116
00:12:09,916 --> 00:12:11,500
We didn't cross it.
117
00:12:12,083 --> 00:12:15,750
Then we were told
not to cross the LoC even to rescue Ahuja.
118
00:12:16,708 --> 00:12:18,083
We didn't cross it then either.
119
00:12:18,166 --> 00:12:21,000
But now we're being told not to fight
even from our side of the LoC?
120
00:12:21,083 --> 00:12:22,208
How can this be, sir?
121
00:12:22,291 --> 00:12:26,708
Tony, we have to face the hard facts.
122
00:12:27,208 --> 00:12:30,500
In the last two days,
we have lost two aircraft and two pilots.
123
00:12:30,583 --> 00:12:33,000
We can't go down without a fight, sir.
124
00:12:33,083 --> 00:12:34,916
Sir, I agree with Tony.
125
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,000
We have to keep fighting.
126
00:12:36,083 --> 00:12:38,666
You're all missing the big picture here.
127
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,000
This is the Western Air Command's
area of responsibility.
128
00:12:45,083 --> 00:12:48,458
From Rajasthan to Jammu and Kashmir.
129
00:12:48,541 --> 00:12:51,166
The area spans 3.5 lakh square kilometers.
130
00:12:51,250 --> 00:12:52,750
On this map,
131
00:12:52,833 --> 00:12:55,500
Kargil is just a tiny dot.
132
00:12:55,583 --> 00:12:58,041
If losses continue at this rate,
133
00:12:58,125 --> 00:13:01,916
then within a month,
in an attempt to protect this tiny dot,
134
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,458
the entire Western Air Command
will be engaged.
135
00:13:05,041 --> 00:13:07,291
And if the enemy opens another front,
136
00:13:07,375 --> 00:13:09,791
how will we protect
the rest of these borders?
137
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,916
Tony, I'm angry, too.
138
00:13:18,250 --> 00:13:20,583
But we work on cold strategy.
139
00:13:20,666 --> 00:13:22,125
We will strike,
140
00:13:22,208 --> 00:13:24,708
but from outside missile range.
141
00:13:25,708 --> 00:13:26,541
But, sir,
142
00:13:27,083 --> 00:13:28,750
that's 10,000 feet above the target.
143
00:13:28,833 --> 00:13:32,041
If we can't achieve precision
even from this close,
144
00:13:32,125 --> 00:13:33,458
how will we from that height?
145
00:13:33,541 --> 00:13:36,083
That's exactly why we are going to wait.
146
00:13:36,583 --> 00:13:38,750
The target is at 18,000 feet.
147
00:13:38,833 --> 00:13:41,333
Bombing needs to be done from 30,000 feet.
148
00:13:41,416 --> 00:13:45,625
And only an advanced aircraft
like the Mirage can do this.
149
00:13:45,708 --> 00:13:51,875
Because only the Mirage 2000 has
laser-guided bombing capability,
150
00:13:51,958 --> 00:13:56,083
which can lock onto targets from far away
from the peak,
151
00:13:56,166 --> 00:13:57,916
{\an8}beyond missile range.
152
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:02,041
{\an8}And it can strike before
the enemy can react
153
00:14:02,125 --> 00:14:04,083
and safely return.
154
00:14:04,166 --> 00:14:07,291
But unfortunately,
they're not ready yet either,
155
00:14:07,375 --> 00:14:10,750
because they don't have
laser-guided bombs.
156
00:14:12,500 --> 00:14:16,375
{\an8}The Americans have once again rejected
our request for laser-guided bombs.
157
00:14:17,291 --> 00:14:19,750
{\an8}It's clear America is playing with us.
158
00:14:19,833 --> 00:14:22,375
{\an8}We have the capabilities,
but not the equipment.
159
00:14:22,458 --> 00:14:24,916
So we'll make our own laser-guided bombs,
160
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,833
and showcase the innovative capabilities
of the Indian Air Force to the world.
161
00:14:28,916 --> 00:14:31,833
We have old bombs from 1971.
162
00:14:31,916 --> 00:14:34,083
We'll fit these Paveway laser kits to them
163
00:14:34,833 --> 00:14:36,833
and lead this Mirage 2000 into believing
164
00:14:36,916 --> 00:14:38,666
that they're laser-guided bombs.
165
00:14:38,750 --> 00:14:41,041
{\an8}Until the jet accepts this hack,
166
00:14:41,125 --> 00:14:42,333
nobody goes home.
167
00:14:42,958 --> 00:14:44,250
At any cost…
168
00:14:46,625 --> 00:14:48,125
we need to fool this jet.
169
00:14:54,666 --> 00:14:55,500
Sangy sir,
170
00:14:56,166 --> 00:14:57,833
there's a call for you from Srinagar.
171
00:15:01,791 --> 00:15:02,666
Hello?
172
00:15:02,750 --> 00:15:03,666
Sangy,
173
00:15:04,208 --> 00:15:05,458
it's Baldy.
174
00:15:05,541 --> 00:15:06,500
Baldy?
175
00:15:07,833 --> 00:15:08,875
How are you?
176
00:15:09,791 --> 00:15:10,875
Any news of Ahuja sir?
177
00:15:13,500 --> 00:15:15,166
There's no news.
178
00:15:15,708 --> 00:15:17,916
Our operations have also been halted.
179
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,500
Yes, Chhabra sir told me.
180
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:21,833
Tell me something.
181
00:15:22,583 --> 00:15:24,333
What's happening with the Mirages?
182
00:15:24,416 --> 00:15:26,041
When do you think you'll be operational?
183
00:15:26,125 --> 00:15:27,708
We are trying our best.
184
00:15:27,791 --> 00:15:29,541
Everyone's working around the clock.
185
00:15:30,875 --> 00:15:31,708
Listen, Baldy,
186
00:15:33,666 --> 00:15:35,041
how's Dhali?
187
00:15:36,208 --> 00:15:37,708
He was with Ahuja sir, wasn't he?
188
00:15:39,208 --> 00:15:41,416
Ever since he came back,
he's barely spoken to anyone.
189
00:15:42,666 --> 00:15:44,208
Maybe he is blaming himself.
190
00:15:46,041 --> 00:15:49,041
We're all just hoping
that wherever Ahuja sir is,
191
00:15:49,125 --> 00:15:50,500
he comes back safe.
192
00:15:51,916 --> 00:15:55,708
Nothing should happen
to either of our pilots.
193
00:15:55,791 --> 00:15:58,583
Jaswant ji, please send
a message to Islamabad.
194
00:15:58,666 --> 00:16:01,375
They should be treated properly.
195
00:16:01,458 --> 00:16:02,458
Otherwise,
196
00:16:02,541 --> 00:16:05,375
the outcome will be grave for Pakistan.
197
00:16:06,583 --> 00:16:07,416
Yes.
198
00:16:17,333 --> 00:16:18,208
Get him down.
199
00:16:20,125 --> 00:16:20,958
Get down.
200
00:16:33,166 --> 00:16:34,791
Well done, Ajmal.
201
00:16:35,291 --> 00:16:36,791
You know what you have to do.
202
00:16:37,625 --> 00:16:38,541
Yes, sir.
203
00:16:39,250 --> 00:16:40,083
Move.
204
00:16:55,666 --> 00:16:57,500
Squadron Leader Ajay Ahuja,
205
00:16:58,375 --> 00:17:00,541
what were you doing so close to the LoC?
206
00:17:01,750 --> 00:17:03,041
What was your objective?
207
00:17:05,416 --> 00:17:08,041
Under the Geneva Conventions of 1949,
208
00:17:08,958 --> 00:17:10,750
prisoners of war
209
00:17:10,833 --> 00:17:13,375
are not mandated to answer questions
posed by the enemy.
210
00:17:13,458 --> 00:17:14,291
Speak up!
211
00:17:25,708 --> 00:17:28,166
Answer the question directly.
212
00:17:28,708 --> 00:17:30,375
Why are you here?
213
00:17:30,458 --> 00:17:31,833
Perhaps, you should first ask yourself…
214
00:17:34,958 --> 00:17:36,291
You…
215
00:17:38,458 --> 00:17:39,875
Why did you come inside my country?
216
00:17:47,416 --> 00:17:49,916
With India maintaining
that both jets were shot down
217
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,958
on their side of the Line of Control,
218
00:17:52,041 --> 00:17:56,625
the fog of war in Kargil has now thickened
into a global diplomatic crisis.
219
00:17:56,708 --> 00:17:57,958
Speaking earlier today,
220
00:17:58,041 --> 00:18:01,208
the US Secretary of State
urged maximum restraint,
221
00:18:01,291 --> 00:18:04,791
reminding the world that a nuclear
exchange between India and Pakistan
222
00:18:04,875 --> 00:18:07,250
- could result in a hundred million deaths…
- Aziz.
223
00:18:07,333 --> 00:18:09,791
- …in the immediate aftermath.
- Is the other pilot in our custody?
224
00:18:09,875 --> 00:18:11,791
Yes, sir. He's been taken to Skardu.
225
00:18:12,416 --> 00:18:14,791
And has he agreed to accept the truth?
226
00:18:16,083 --> 00:18:18,333
Sorry, sir, I don't understand.
227
00:18:18,416 --> 00:18:20,958
That he was ordered
to cross the Line of Control
228
00:18:21,041 --> 00:18:24,625
and bomb our forward bases.
229
00:18:24,708 --> 00:18:28,375
It's very important to get
this on-camera statement from him, Aziz.
230
00:18:28,458 --> 00:18:30,541
So that we can mislead the world
231
00:18:30,625 --> 00:18:33,250
into thinking that
the real aggressor is India, not us.
232
00:18:33,333 --> 00:18:35,333
I'll check, sir.
233
00:18:36,541 --> 00:18:38,625
But General Hassan tells me
234
00:18:38,708 --> 00:18:41,541
the officer is extremely stubborn.
235
00:18:41,625 --> 00:18:45,666
General Hassan isn't capable
of handling every situation.
236
00:18:46,375 --> 00:18:47,416
You see to it yourself.
237
00:18:47,500 --> 00:18:49,416
Copy that, sir. Understood.
238
00:18:49,500 --> 00:18:51,375
I'll leave for Skardu immediately.
239
00:18:53,791 --> 00:18:55,000
I am asking once again.
240
00:18:55,083 --> 00:18:58,166
Which base were you ordered
to bomb inside Pakistan?
241
00:18:59,875 --> 00:19:01,500
I am telling you again.
242
00:19:04,916 --> 00:19:07,208
There were no bombs in my aircraft.
243
00:19:08,250 --> 00:19:10,000
And I also didn't…
244
00:19:10,541 --> 00:19:12,375
intend to enter Pakistan.
245
00:19:12,458 --> 00:19:13,291
Lies!
246
00:19:13,375 --> 00:19:14,666
Absolute lies.
247
00:19:15,500 --> 00:19:16,500
Which base?
248
00:19:17,541 --> 00:19:18,750
Which base?
249
00:19:26,750 --> 00:19:28,291
Which base?
250
00:19:29,416 --> 00:19:31,000
Major Ajmal!
251
00:19:31,083 --> 00:19:32,708
- Which base?
- Major Ajmal!
252
00:19:35,208 --> 00:19:36,041
What's going on here?
253
00:19:42,166 --> 00:19:43,166
Untie the rope.
254
00:19:43,791 --> 00:19:44,708
Put his uniform back on.
255
00:19:46,458 --> 00:19:47,583
And you.
256
00:19:47,666 --> 00:19:48,958
Fetch Dr. Bukhari.
257
00:19:59,041 --> 00:20:00,375
What are you doing, Hassan?
258
00:20:00,458 --> 00:20:02,083
This is Skardu, sir.
259
00:20:02,958 --> 00:20:04,916
This is how we extract information here.
260
00:20:06,041 --> 00:20:08,000
Hassan, this is different.
261
00:20:08,541 --> 00:20:10,666
Do you have any idea
262
00:20:10,750 --> 00:20:12,416
how important his statement is?
263
00:20:16,666 --> 00:20:18,833
I apologize for Major Ajmal's conduct.
264
00:20:19,666 --> 00:20:21,458
But you are very stubborn.
265
00:20:21,541 --> 00:20:23,583
And our soldiers…
266
00:20:24,500 --> 00:20:26,541
respond to stubbornness
267
00:20:26,625 --> 00:20:27,666
in this fashion.
268
00:20:28,458 --> 00:20:29,541
Now, what can one do?
269
00:20:30,541 --> 00:20:32,125
You can, General Khan.
270
00:20:34,666 --> 00:20:36,166
You can give them good training.
271
00:20:37,125 --> 00:20:38,250
So that they know
272
00:20:38,333 --> 00:20:41,541
that any form of torture
meted out to a prisoner of war
273
00:20:41,625 --> 00:20:43,416
is a violation of the Geneva Conventions.
274
00:20:43,500 --> 00:20:45,041
What Geneva Conventions?
275
00:20:46,291 --> 00:20:49,375
They apply only when
the armies of two nations
276
00:20:49,458 --> 00:20:50,708
are at war with each other.
277
00:20:51,916 --> 00:20:53,750
Those people who have entered Kargil,
278
00:20:54,458 --> 00:20:57,041
in response to which
you have entered our territory,
279
00:20:57,125 --> 00:20:58,416
are Mujahideen.
280
00:21:00,541 --> 00:21:02,458
I'm sorry, General Khan, I didn't know
281
00:21:03,375 --> 00:21:05,541
that by merely wearing a Pathani suit,
282
00:21:06,166 --> 00:21:08,083
Pakistan's army becomes Mujahideen.
283
00:21:16,333 --> 00:21:18,416
Aren't you worried about Ankur and Alka?
284
00:21:24,250 --> 00:21:25,625
Sir, you don't need to worry about them.
285
00:21:26,541 --> 00:21:28,708
They are in the safest place in India.
286
00:21:28,791 --> 00:21:30,125
And you're here,
287
00:21:30,833 --> 00:21:34,166
in Pakistan's most secure army base.
288
00:21:34,833 --> 00:21:36,375
No one will come here to save you.
289
00:21:39,125 --> 00:21:40,083
Here, only…
290
00:21:41,250 --> 00:21:42,708
I can help you.
291
00:21:45,250 --> 00:21:46,708
For that,
292
00:21:47,708 --> 00:21:49,875
you have to help me first.
293
00:22:09,916 --> 00:22:11,083
Please have some tea.
294
00:22:31,041 --> 00:22:32,041
General Musharraf,
295
00:22:32,708 --> 00:22:35,791
Beijing welcomes you
during difficult times.
296
00:22:35,875 --> 00:22:37,833
- Thank you.
- Please, sit.
297
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,250
My deepest sympathies
regarding your embassy in Belgrade.
298
00:22:46,250 --> 00:22:47,791
Three journalists dead.
299
00:22:48,500 --> 00:22:50,791
"American mistake," they claim.
300
00:22:51,750 --> 00:22:53,458
We have a saying in Urdu.
301
00:23:00,541 --> 00:23:02,541
"Their own roof is falling apart,
302
00:23:02,625 --> 00:23:05,708
but they are off
to repair others' houses."
303
00:23:06,666 --> 00:23:08,583
And this is what America is doing.
304
00:23:09,375 --> 00:23:10,666
For the last few weeks,
305
00:23:10,750 --> 00:23:14,875
India has been displaying unrestrained
aggression along the Line of Control.
306
00:23:14,958 --> 00:23:16,000
And yet,
307
00:23:16,625 --> 00:23:20,541
my prime minister is receiving
daily calls from Clinton.
308
00:23:21,166 --> 00:23:22,166
What should we do?
309
00:23:22,250 --> 00:23:25,416
Should we sit back and allow India
to take over our country?
310
00:23:26,500 --> 00:23:29,333
America is acting through India. Trust me.
311
00:23:30,208 --> 00:23:32,333
We can easily take on India.
312
00:23:33,375 --> 00:23:34,291
But America?
313
00:23:37,333 --> 00:23:38,208
General,
314
00:23:39,708 --> 00:23:41,416
we also have a saying in Mandarin.
315
00:23:48,208 --> 00:23:53,083
"A frog at the bottom of the well
cannot fathom the depth of the ocean."
316
00:23:55,708 --> 00:23:59,708
It is a very stupid thing,
what you've done in Kargil, General.
317
00:24:00,708 --> 00:24:04,333
Sparking war in the midst
of a historic peace process,
318
00:24:04,416 --> 00:24:07,041
while both sides have nuclear weapons.
319
00:24:07,125 --> 00:24:08,500
You're playing with fire.
320
00:24:09,166 --> 00:24:11,958
China has always
supported Pakistan in the past.
321
00:24:12,041 --> 00:24:12,875
But this time,
322
00:24:13,458 --> 00:24:14,625
you're on your own.
323
00:24:37,333 --> 00:24:40,166
Your safety has sparked concern
not just in India,
324
00:24:40,250 --> 00:24:42,125
but across the world as well.
325
00:24:43,583 --> 00:24:44,458
So,
326
00:24:46,666 --> 00:24:49,416
we will record a video of you.
327
00:24:51,291 --> 00:24:55,416
We got this written in Hindustani for you.
328
00:24:56,208 --> 00:24:58,041
All you have to do
is look into the camera,
329
00:24:58,125 --> 00:25:00,750
and read whatever
is written on it properly.
330
00:25:00,833 --> 00:25:02,625
So, let's get started?
331
00:25:12,625 --> 00:25:13,458
Zubair.
332
00:25:18,333 --> 00:25:19,916
"I, Squadron Leader Ajay Ahuja,
333
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,250
am making this statement
of my own free will and in my senses."
334
00:25:24,541 --> 00:25:27,083
"Today, on May 27, 1999,
335
00:25:27,708 --> 00:25:28,541
when I…"
336
00:25:29,416 --> 00:25:32,250
WHEN I WAS ATTEMPTING AN ATTACK
ON A PAKISTANI MILITARY BASE
337
00:25:35,750 --> 00:25:40,166
While I was engaged in a non-offensive
mission within Indian territory,
338
00:25:40,250 --> 00:25:43,500
then the Pakistani Army
that has infiltrated Kargil…
339
00:25:47,541 --> 00:25:49,625
- What happened, sir?
- Don't they teach you to read over there?
340
00:25:49,708 --> 00:25:51,125
They do, sir.
341
00:25:52,500 --> 00:25:54,500
How to read and how to fight, too.
342
00:25:55,333 --> 00:25:56,416
But with principles.
343
00:25:58,166 --> 00:26:00,041
What do they teach you
this side of the border, sir?
344
00:26:08,958 --> 00:26:10,333
So, according to you,
345
00:26:11,541 --> 00:26:14,625
your mission was limited
to Indian airspace only.
346
00:26:15,791 --> 00:26:17,375
Then would you care to explain
347
00:26:17,458 --> 00:26:18,708
what you're doing
348
00:26:19,708 --> 00:26:21,583
at a Pakistan Army base right now?
349
00:26:23,166 --> 00:26:27,416
Sir, the Pakistan Army
hidden in our mountains
350
00:26:28,166 --> 00:26:30,875
fired a Stinger missile at my jet.
351
00:26:32,708 --> 00:26:34,083
I ejected…
352
00:26:35,083 --> 00:26:36,083
in India.
353
00:26:36,833 --> 00:26:38,958
My parachute carried me into Pakistan.
354
00:26:41,625 --> 00:26:42,625
So,
355
00:26:43,625 --> 00:26:45,416
entering Pakistan…
356
00:26:46,416 --> 00:26:47,625
was never your intention?
357
00:26:48,541 --> 00:26:49,958
Affirmative, sir.
358
00:26:50,041 --> 00:26:51,291
Very well. Let's talk straight.
359
00:26:51,875 --> 00:26:53,333
Tell one lie for us.
360
00:26:53,416 --> 00:26:54,541
Then, inshallah,
361
00:26:55,291 --> 00:26:57,333
go back and collect
your medal for bravery.
362
00:26:59,541 --> 00:27:01,625
Which country awards medals for lying?
363
00:27:03,500 --> 00:27:06,208
And anyway, no medal is valuable enough…
364
00:27:07,625 --> 00:27:09,333
for me to betray my country.
365
00:27:15,166 --> 00:27:17,125
You also have another option.
366
00:27:18,250 --> 00:27:20,166
We will shift you to London.
367
00:27:20,250 --> 00:27:22,000
You'll get so much…
368
00:27:23,083 --> 00:27:25,333
that you won't need a medal…
369
00:27:25,833 --> 00:27:27,041
or your uniform.
370
00:27:29,250 --> 00:27:31,375
There's something special, sir,
about this uniform.
371
00:27:34,250 --> 00:27:37,833
It's not like any passerby
can buy it off the street and wear it.
372
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,041
To wear it,
you have to pledge your life to India.
373
00:27:48,500 --> 00:27:49,416
Anyway,
374
00:27:49,500 --> 00:27:52,041
I have told you everything
I'm supposed to tell you.
375
00:27:53,875 --> 00:27:55,666
You're a three-star general.
376
00:27:56,416 --> 00:27:58,666
Your time is very valuable.
377
00:27:58,750 --> 00:28:00,458
Don't waste it on me.
378
00:28:02,416 --> 00:28:03,416
Jai Hind, sir.
379
00:28:08,791 --> 00:28:12,708
He who cannot understand the difference
between principles and madness…
380
00:28:15,458 --> 00:28:16,708
neither I…
381
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:19,416
nor God can save him.
382
00:28:27,250 --> 00:28:28,750
Aziz, what's the update?
383
00:28:28,833 --> 00:28:30,916
Sir, I tried everything,
384
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:32,583
but he's very stubborn, sir.
385
00:28:32,666 --> 00:28:34,583
If he is stubborn,
then make an example of him.
386
00:28:35,541 --> 00:28:36,916
Do you know what I mean?
387
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:38,750
Sir, but the international community?
388
00:28:38,833 --> 00:28:40,666
Screw the international community.
389
00:28:41,333 --> 00:28:45,833
Make such an example of him that before
they even think of entering Pakistan,
390
00:28:45,916 --> 00:28:47,500
their blood runs cold.
391
00:28:47,583 --> 00:28:48,458
Sir.
392
00:29:41,708 --> 00:29:43,958
Jai Hind.
393
00:30:50,208 --> 00:30:52,250
"Compound fracture of the leg tibia.
394
00:30:52,333 --> 00:30:55,291
Multiple gunshot wounds
to the thoracic cavity and cranium.
395
00:30:55,375 --> 00:30:56,333
Extensive…
396
00:30:58,916 --> 00:31:02,833
cigarette-induced burn injuries across
the abdominal region and genitalia."
397
00:31:02,916 --> 00:31:05,375
Signs of deliberate mutilation,
including broken fingers--"
398
00:31:05,458 --> 00:31:07,208
Everything is visible, Doctor.
399
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:10,041
I can see it.
400
00:31:11,583 --> 00:31:13,291
All that they've done to him.
401
00:31:21,458 --> 00:31:24,041
Can we take the body?
402
00:31:24,625 --> 00:31:25,708
Yes, sir.
403
00:31:25,791 --> 00:31:26,833
But there is a problem.
404
00:31:27,333 --> 00:31:28,291
What's the problem?
405
00:31:29,916 --> 00:31:33,208
The coffin Pakistan sent his body in
is a foot and a half too short.
406
00:31:33,291 --> 00:31:35,250
And inside that only, they have…
407
00:31:38,625 --> 00:31:39,625
So, all this?
408
00:31:40,625 --> 00:31:42,791
- Who'll arrange all of this?
- I'll arrange it, sir.
409
00:31:52,666 --> 00:31:55,875
{\an8}The situation in the Kargil War
is becoming increasingly grave.
410
00:31:55,958 --> 00:31:59,291
{\an8}Today, even a joint operation
of the Indian Army and Air Force
411
00:31:59,375 --> 00:32:02,666
{\an8}failed to recapture the Tololing Complex.
412
00:32:02,750 --> 00:32:05,458
{\an8}In this effort, both forces
have suffered heavy setbacks.
413
00:32:05,541 --> 00:32:08,791
{\an8}The intruders,
using surface-to-air missiles,
414
00:32:08,875 --> 00:32:12,958
{\an8}targeted Mi-17 attack helicopters
of the Indian Air Force.
415
00:32:14,250 --> 00:32:15,541
{\an8}In just two days,
416
00:32:15,625 --> 00:32:18,458
{\an8}this is the third Air Force aircraft
that has been shot down.
417
00:32:18,541 --> 00:32:21,083
{\an8}In this incident,
Squadron Leader Rajiv Pundir,
418
00:32:21,166 --> 00:32:23,375
{\an8}Flight Lieutenant Subramaniam Muhilan,
419
00:32:23,458 --> 00:32:27,083
{\an8}Sergeant PVNR Prasad,
and Sergeant Raj Kishore Sahu
420
00:32:27,166 --> 00:32:29,166
{\an8}have attained martyrdom.
421
00:32:29,250 --> 00:32:33,541
{\an8}Earlier, after shooting down
Squadron Leader Ajay Ahuja's MiG-21,
422
00:32:33,625 --> 00:32:35,208
{\an8}the Pakistani Army
had subjected him to brutal torture.
423
00:32:35,291 --> 00:32:36,708
{\an8}WAKE UP, PAKISTAN,
OR BECOME A GRAVEYARD!
424
00:32:38,416 --> 00:32:40,791
There is widespread outrage across India,
425
00:32:40,875 --> 00:32:42,000
even as Pakistan claims
426
00:32:42,083 --> 00:32:46,541
that Squadron Leader Ajay Ahuja died
from injuries sustained during ejection.
427
00:32:46,625 --> 00:32:48,791
{\an8}Squadron Leader Ahuja
428
00:32:48,875 --> 00:32:51,250
{\an8}unfortunately had been killed
in the accident.
429
00:32:51,333 --> 00:32:55,416
{\an8}India has formally accused Pakistan
of violating the Geneva Conventions.
430
00:32:55,500 --> 00:32:57,708
{\an8}The killing of a downed pilot,
if confirmed,
431
00:32:57,791 --> 00:33:00,416
{\an8}would constitute a grave breach
of international law.
432
00:33:00,500 --> 00:33:03,666
{\an8}This is a cold-blooded murder,
an act of cowardice,
433
00:33:03,750 --> 00:33:05,500
{\an8}on the part of Pakistani regulars.
434
00:33:12,750 --> 00:33:15,333
General Aziz, why didn't you tell us
435
00:33:15,416 --> 00:33:18,541
that the Indian fighter pilot
was tortured to death?
436
00:33:19,208 --> 00:33:21,500
Sir, our official stance
is absolutely clear.
437
00:33:22,208 --> 00:33:24,375
Squadron Leader Ajay Ahuja
438
00:33:24,458 --> 00:33:26,250
died due to the ejection impact.
439
00:33:26,333 --> 00:33:28,333
India is blaming us,
440
00:33:28,416 --> 00:33:30,791
saying we are violating
the Geneva Conventions.
441
00:33:31,583 --> 00:33:33,750
America is checking in with me daily,
442
00:33:33,833 --> 00:33:35,166
pressurizing us
443
00:33:35,250 --> 00:33:37,333
to release the other pilot immediately.
444
00:33:37,916 --> 00:33:38,958
Aziz sahib,
445
00:33:39,041 --> 00:33:40,375
immediately start the process
446
00:33:40,458 --> 00:33:42,875
of handing over that pilot to India.
447
00:33:43,833 --> 00:33:44,916
Long live Pakistan.
448
00:33:45,500 --> 00:33:46,833
General Musharraf?
449
00:33:47,791 --> 00:33:49,583
Did you come straight from the airport?
450
00:33:59,375 --> 00:34:03,041
I thought I shouldn't delay too much
in delivering the good news, Sharif sahib.
451
00:34:04,583 --> 00:34:08,708
China has congratulated us
on giving India a bloody nose.
452
00:34:08,791 --> 00:34:11,541
China is with us, Mian sahib.
453
00:34:12,125 --> 00:34:15,500
And if America
still pressures us to withdraw,
454
00:34:15,583 --> 00:34:17,875
we can count on China.
455
00:34:17,958 --> 00:34:19,833
That's wonderful news.
456
00:34:19,916 --> 00:34:22,666
Meaning, we don't need America anymore?
457
00:34:22,750 --> 00:34:23,958
That's right.
458
00:34:25,208 --> 00:34:26,416
Sartaj sahib,
459
00:34:27,833 --> 00:34:30,000
you and Nawaz sahib
keep the Americans occupied.
460
00:34:31,916 --> 00:34:33,541
It's time…
461
00:34:36,291 --> 00:34:38,500
we deal with Delhi directly.
462
00:36:36,416 --> 00:36:38,375
You were the one I trusted,
463
00:36:39,750 --> 00:36:40,708
Tony.
464
00:36:44,916 --> 00:36:46,875
Why did you let him go there?
465
00:36:49,916 --> 00:36:51,041
Why?
466
00:37:49,375 --> 00:37:50,333
Fire!
467
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:54,833
Fire!
468
00:38:07,583 --> 00:38:14,541
BHISIANA CREMATORIUM
469
00:38:28,541 --> 00:38:29,916
Sir, before the war of '71,
470
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,958
there was an explosion
caused by someone else's safety lapse.
471
00:38:34,291 --> 00:38:36,625
My father had shrapnel lodged in his body.
472
00:38:39,166 --> 00:38:40,708
Even surgery could not remove them.
473
00:38:41,583 --> 00:38:43,541
After a few years, he left us.
474
00:38:50,166 --> 00:38:52,333
And today, we lost Ahuja sir.
475
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,083
He was like a father to me, sir.
476
00:39:02,083 --> 00:39:04,166
I'm really very sorry, Sangy.
477
00:39:04,833 --> 00:39:06,583
I have to fly in this war, sir.
478
00:39:09,916 --> 00:39:11,083
I have to fly.
479
00:39:14,708 --> 00:39:16,333
I have to go back to Golden Arrows.
480
00:39:17,166 --> 00:39:18,458
To my family.
481
00:40:02,916 --> 00:40:04,666
They killed him, Kamal.
482
00:40:10,916 --> 00:40:12,333
They tortured him.
483
00:40:24,166 --> 00:40:27,208
The bastards shot him point-blank.
484
00:40:30,166 --> 00:40:31,875
And they're saying that
485
00:40:32,375 --> 00:40:34,625
he died from ejection impact.
486
00:40:37,541 --> 00:40:42,250
They're lying, and here we are
sitting with our operation on hold.
487
00:40:45,541 --> 00:40:47,333
Tony, it's not your fault.
488
00:40:50,041 --> 00:40:51,708
I called him here.
489
00:40:53,250 --> 00:40:54,625
I called him here!
490
00:40:56,541 --> 00:40:58,958
This was not his regular posting.
491
00:41:03,458 --> 00:41:06,083
"Ahuja, come." He came, and…
492
00:41:34,708 --> 00:41:35,708
Hello?
493
00:41:35,791 --> 00:41:38,291
Sir, Wing Commander Sandeep Chhabra
is on the line from Gwalior.
494
00:41:38,375 --> 00:41:39,208
Connect.
495
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:40,958
Sandy.
496
00:41:43,125 --> 00:41:44,458
I'm very sorry, Tony.
497
00:41:46,250 --> 00:41:48,791
I know Ahuja was special.
498
00:41:49,291 --> 00:41:51,333
Sorry won't do, Sandy.
499
00:41:52,791 --> 00:41:55,208
We have to bomb them to Dark Ages.
500
00:41:55,291 --> 00:41:57,000
We're boiling inside, too, Tony.
501
00:41:57,541 --> 00:42:00,250
But we can't fly the Mirages
until trials are done.
502
00:42:00,750 --> 00:42:01,916
Won't get clearance.
503
00:42:02,625 --> 00:42:04,416
How much longer
are your trials going to take?
504
00:42:04,500 --> 00:42:05,791
I don't know, man.
505
00:42:06,625 --> 00:42:08,125
French plane, Israeli laser kit,
506
00:42:08,208 --> 00:42:10,083
old Indian bombs from 1971.
507
00:42:10,666 --> 00:42:11,958
Hacking all this together
508
00:42:12,041 --> 00:42:14,166
and making it work is a tricky setup.
509
00:42:14,750 --> 00:42:16,083
But we are trying.
510
00:42:17,500 --> 00:42:18,333
We're trying, Tony.
511
00:42:19,791 --> 00:42:20,833
Well, listen,
512
00:42:20,916 --> 00:42:22,250
Sangy wants to come back to you.
513
00:42:22,333 --> 00:42:23,875
He is emotional.
514
00:42:24,708 --> 00:42:26,208
But I'm okay with it.
515
00:42:26,291 --> 00:42:28,125
What's he going to do
even if he comes here?
516
00:42:28,208 --> 00:42:30,750
The entire operation
has been suspended here.
517
00:42:33,666 --> 00:42:35,541
How strange, isn't it, Sandy?
518
00:42:37,375 --> 00:42:39,958
You can bomb outside missile range,
519
00:42:40,041 --> 00:42:41,916
but you don't have bombs.
520
00:42:43,208 --> 00:42:45,041
The MiG-27 has bombs,
521
00:42:45,125 --> 00:42:48,083
but they cannot bomb
from outside missile range.
522
00:42:49,166 --> 00:42:51,916
We have GPS,
we can get close to the target,
523
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:53,000
but bombing…
524
00:42:59,916 --> 00:43:01,208
Tony? Hello?
525
00:43:02,166 --> 00:43:03,083
Are you there?
526
00:43:04,333 --> 00:43:06,541
Sandy, I'll… I'll call you back.
527
00:43:07,250 --> 00:43:08,333
I'll call you back.
528
00:43:17,625 --> 00:43:18,458
We…
529
00:43:19,875 --> 00:43:22,083
don't need to halt the operation.
530
00:43:23,083 --> 00:43:23,958
Meaning?
531
00:43:24,458 --> 00:43:25,416
Kamal, we…
532
00:43:26,125 --> 00:43:28,583
We can bomb, but…
533
00:43:28,666 --> 00:43:29,500
But?
534
00:43:31,625 --> 00:43:32,875
But what?
535
00:43:34,458 --> 00:43:35,916
I will not get permission.
536
00:43:37,916 --> 00:43:38,875
Permission?
537
00:43:41,791 --> 00:43:43,791
Did they ask for permission
538
00:43:43,875 --> 00:43:45,583
before entering our country?
539
00:43:49,625 --> 00:43:52,041
Did they ask for permission
before torturing Ahuja?
540
00:43:59,708 --> 00:44:00,708
Sardar,
541
00:44:01,916 --> 00:44:03,583
do whatever you want to do,
542
00:44:04,875 --> 00:44:06,375
however you want to do it.
543
00:44:09,791 --> 00:44:10,833
Just do it.
544
00:44:13,500 --> 00:44:17,083
They think sitting up there at that
altitude, they can do what they want.
545
00:44:18,208 --> 00:44:19,458
They are wrong.
546
00:44:20,625 --> 00:44:22,458
We will mourn no more.
547
00:44:27,500 --> 00:44:29,916
We won't take any more photos either.
548
00:44:33,041 --> 00:44:34,333
Our jets
549
00:44:34,416 --> 00:44:36,375
have cameras installed in place of bombs.
550
00:44:37,500 --> 00:44:39,708
But the place is for bombs, isn't it?
551
00:44:40,708 --> 00:44:43,750
Now, we will bomb.
552
00:44:45,708 --> 00:44:47,416
We have GPS.
553
00:44:47,958 --> 00:44:49,958
We can fly above the clouds
554
00:44:50,041 --> 00:44:51,708
to reach our target.
555
00:44:53,291 --> 00:44:55,375
And staying outside their missile range,
556
00:44:55,458 --> 00:44:57,625
we can rain fire on them.
557
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:00,666
It's never been done before.
558
00:45:00,750 --> 00:45:02,333
But we'll do it.
559
00:45:05,583 --> 00:45:07,458
- Are you with me?
- Yes, sir!
560
00:45:12,166 --> 00:45:14,958
Tony, when was the last time
a photo-recce squadron
561
00:45:15,041 --> 00:45:16,541
took on the role of a bombing squadron?
562
00:45:16,625 --> 00:45:18,416
That too in the middle of a war.
563
00:45:19,791 --> 00:45:22,500
Sir, when was the last time
any air force in the world
564
00:45:22,583 --> 00:45:24,458
fought a war at 18,000 feet?
565
00:45:25,250 --> 00:45:26,458
My objection is purely technical.
566
00:45:26,541 --> 00:45:30,125
MiGs are designed
to drop bombs from 20,000 feet.
567
00:45:30,208 --> 00:45:31,666
Not from 30,000 feet.
568
00:45:31,750 --> 00:45:33,958
Sir, the machine is ready
and so is the squadron.
569
00:45:35,125 --> 00:45:36,625
And you yourself said that
570
00:45:36,708 --> 00:45:39,291
we need to bomb them
from outside their missile range,
571
00:45:39,375 --> 00:45:43,041
just like the Mirages.
So we're outside their missile range.
572
00:45:46,041 --> 00:45:47,166
Fair enough.
573
00:45:47,250 --> 00:45:49,500
The army will give you
the coordinates of the peaks.
574
00:45:49,583 --> 00:45:54,125
But how will you calculate
your bomb release point?
575
00:45:54,208 --> 00:45:56,791
Sir, we will conduct our own trials
576
00:45:56,875 --> 00:45:58,333
and create our own charts.
577
00:46:15,916 --> 00:46:16,958
All right.
578
00:46:17,750 --> 00:46:19,666
I will officially
579
00:46:19,750 --> 00:46:22,500
give you clearance
for high-altitude GPS bombing.
580
00:46:24,416 --> 00:46:25,291
But…
581
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:28,500
the error rate of your trials
582
00:46:28,583 --> 00:46:30,500
should be within 200 meters.
583
00:46:33,333 --> 00:46:34,333
Sir.
584
00:47:20,875 --> 00:47:24,000
The Army is struggling.
They're losing men every day.
585
00:47:25,416 --> 00:47:28,416
That's why I had
to commit Air Force support,
586
00:47:28,500 --> 00:47:30,083
even while knowing
587
00:47:30,166 --> 00:47:34,250
that the chances of this unconventional
strategy being successful…
588
00:47:35,375 --> 00:47:37,583
is only five percent.
589
00:47:37,666 --> 00:47:41,250
Like every time before,
we don't have another option, sir.
590
00:47:42,625 --> 00:47:44,916
Now either we will create history,
591
00:47:45,833 --> 00:47:47,041
or get buried in it.
592
00:51:57,166 --> 00:52:02,166
