This is All-India Radio.

In today's bulletin.

The Russian President's upcoming India visit

is causing excitement in capital city, New Delhi.

Russia's Head of Security

arrived in Delhi to review the security details,

ahead of their President's visit.

Announcing his visit to India,

the President declared that he supports India on the Kashmir issue

and condemns Pakistan sponsored terrorism.

Banners and posters are being put up all over Delhi

to welcome the Russian President.

America has stated that

if Russia signs the deal to supply cryogenic rockets to India

then America will strongly oppose it.

Pushkin.

Your leave has been approved, fully paid.

Even if you have some big contacts,

this wasn't the right time to take a leave.

The PM office has put our institute on standby.

He could come and visit us with the Russian President.

But, sir, I did not apply for any leave.

There is a number on the letterhead.

Call them.

You're supposed to go there and sign, before starting the leave.

But, sir...

I was asked to come here...

Pushkin Verma.

Mr. Satpal Dhingra, Case Officer.

Mr. Ram Narayan, his assistant

Myself Jagdish Sondhi.

In charge of the Soviet Desk at the Bureau.

My principal has sent me regarding this paid leave...

I know.

Come.

Ashok Kumar was arrested a week ago.

We found a German Mauser pistol on him.

We've reasons to believe,

he's working for some foreign intelligence agency.

KGB. CIA. ISI. Any one of them.

Or perhaps all of them.

Or maybe for none of them.

I'm just a sign language expert.

I wasn't briefed about the job here.

Of course, you were. I just did.

But not in detail.

It's a 'brief' hence in brief.

Not in detail.

Sign language is not a necessary skill for intelligence officers.

We don't receive training for it.

Ashok is hearing and speech impaired since birth.

So, he understands only sign language.

But, sir, interrogation... me?

It's a matter of national security.

The government wants to know.

Your country needs you.

The first set of questions are in the file.

Roll tape.

Start type.

4th November 1993.

Your name?

Ashok Kumar.

You can call me 'AK Handsome'.

Birth?

Date of birth or place of birth?

Place of birth.

I don't know.

I was raised in an orphanage. My birth place is not recorded.

Someone threw me at their doorstep.

Education?

Sharda Devi School for Deaf.

I did my schooling there.

I loved football more than books.

But the coach rarely let me on the field.

Because I hardly ever obeyed him.

I played my own game.

ONLY MAD CREATE HISTORY, WISE ONLY READ ABOUT THEM

On one side it's us, the trained agents from Indian intelligence.

Sharp eyes, alert ears, fit-healthy bodies.

And on the other side is Ashok.

He can't hear, or speak.

He is not too fit either.

He's quite skinny.

During the conversation he never referred to any sound.

Not even by mistake.

It was all about "saw this, saw that".

or "I was told in sign language".

He is not faking his condition.

I know.

We did a thorough medical checkup on him.

And if he wasn't really deaf,

then he would have never got a job through this man.

A job?

In Berlin.

In Berlin?

Ask Ashok.

Who is this?

Why did you learn sign language?

My younger brother is deaf since birth.

Who all are in your family?

Mother? Father? A younger brother? Wife?

Pushkin, do not reply to his questions.

He's trying to build a relationship with you.

Just stick to our questions.

Don't answer his.

Pushkin! Keep talking to us!

Do not talk only to him!

Who is this?

An agent.

Intelligence agent?

Employment agent.

He does private practice.

He often visited Sharda Devi School for Deaf.

He used to get jobs for their deaf students.

Did he arrange passports and visas as well?

You don't know what 'Berlin' is, right?

Sweet boy.

A tea and a toast.

I had a feeling you would come here, on your way to the Bureau.

Berlin.

Berlin.

Sir, I hope I didn't break any of your protocols by coming here?

Or did I make some kind of strategic mistake?

If I upset you with my tone yesterday, then I am sorry.

We both are on the same side.

Ashok Kumar is the enemy.

Sir...

Breakfast?

Grease it with butter, Pushkin.

Makes it easy to swallow even the hardest morsels.

I don't want to shoot in the dark while questioning Ashok.

Nor do I want to be laughed at with inside jokes like 'Berlin'.

That's why I just wanted to take a look at the place myself.

Employment agent.

He does private practice.

He often visited Sharda Devi School for Deaf.

He used to get jobs for their deaf students.

Education.

Sharda Devi School for Deaf.

I did my schooling there.

I loved football more than books.

But the coach rarely let me on the field.

Because I hardly ever obeyed him.

I played my own game.

Yesterday's recording.

I heard it.

Any feedback, sir?

Who is this Pushkin Verma?

Ordinary teacher... sign language.

Pushkin Verma is safe.

I personally checked his profile.

When even a deaf man can turn out to be an intelligence agent

we can't be sure who's safe and who's not.

Anyway, it is what it is.

The Russian President arrives in seven days.

We're running out of time.

And the officers of the Wing

are ready to cross our paths at every instance.

Mr. Sondhi has sent today's questions.

And Berlin?

Berlin what?

I prepared some questions according to Berlin.

Mr. Pushkin, leave the framing of the questions to us.

Kapil Mahajan.

When did you first meet him?

He came to Berlin often.

Because almost everyone in this business came to Berlin.

Business.

This cafe was the center for doing business,

for the intelligence people.

The business of information trading.

This... is Cafe Berlin.

This is the Wing's office,

This one's ours. The Bureau.

Here's the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The Embassy of the German Democratic Republic,

And here...

is the Soviet Embassy.

All these government offices are at a walking distance,

or within two kilometer radius at the most.

All the peons, officers, in fact even visitors,

and guests of staff members, from these offices come here.

Before anyone realized,

Cafe Berlin became the floor for trading intelligence.

Were you involved in this 'business' as well?

I merely worked there.

What work?

I was a waiter, cleaning tables, cleaning bathrooms.

Was that your only job or was there more?

Who named you...

Mr. Sondhi, he's asking who named me Pushkin and why?

Should I answer his question or not?

What is he saying?

He said he'll answer my questions only if I answer his.

Sir, it's Ashok's trick to stall.

Or maybe to make Pushkin emotionally soft.

My father named me Pushkin.

Pushkin was his favorite poet.

All the waiters and cleaning staff working at the cafe

had a hearing problem.

90% deafness. 100% deafness.

Our main job was to stay seated at a table.

Simply to stay seated at a table?

Why?

The deaf were placed like a wall between each table.

A soundproof wall.

That way distance was maintained between the people

who came there to trade information.

And no one could eavesdrop on someone else's conversation.

The other advantage of having us was,

if some outsider ever entered the cafe,

he never found a table to sit.

The war in Iraq has become a serious concern for America.

The Scud missiles supplied by Russia to Iraq

are posing a challenge to the American army.

American Senator Joseph Biden has mentioned,

that Russia supplying cryogenic rockets to India

is not some ordinary business deal, but a dangerous issue.

Russian company Glavkosmos

and the Indian Space Research Institute, ISRO,

have already signed the deal to buy the cryogenic technology.

ISRO's reply to the American Senator's statement was,

that India will use this technology

to build rockets and satellites for space exploration

and not for warhead missiles.

Sir, can you help me find this address?

Does it say D31 or D37?

Pushkin Verma.

Yes.

Do you recognize him?

No.

Him?

Yes.

They both work for us.

Officers of the Wing.

There's some misunderstanding between the Wing and the Bureau.

They have detained both these officers.

Don't catch pneumonia.

Take care.

We don't want you to miss your sessions with Ashok Kumar,

and Sondhi.

I'm only helping them with sign language.

I don't know any details of this case.

Nor will they give me any.

The questions that I ask--

Do you have the question sheet with you?

No.

I'm not allowed to take any document out of that place.

Protocol.

Same as ours.

Why am I here?

These are few questions

that our experts have prepared for Ashok Kumar.

Ask them whenever you get a chance.

Improvise.

Memorize the questions.

Don't take this paper to the Bureau ever.

And,

we have a man inside the Bureau.

Our informer.

So don't act smart in any way.

Did someone from the Wing abduct him?

Do you think he's compromised now?

Let's see.

So...

a year went by while you worked at Berlin.

Did you see or notice anything unusual?

Meaning?

Mr. Mehta...

There's a photo in this as well.

Okay.

He is compromised.

He may try to insert Wing's questions, be alert.

Who is this?

Mr. J.V. Raman.

The deaf workers at Berlin

never interacted with the government officers or their informers.

They went about their business while we

made up stories and conspiracy theories

about who is up to what?

By making up stories we fancied ourselves as intelligence officers.

We imagined we could think, grasp and see like they did.

It gave us outsiders a moment to feel like an insider.

Hello.

Did you see the file?

Who are you?

Check the file.

Your family lives in Modinagar, right?

Mother, father, brother...

I am a government employee.

How dare you threaten me?

Hello, telephone exchange.

Hello. I want to book a trunk call to Modinagar.

Ordinary or lightning?

Ordinary...

Lightning! Lightning!

You can book only one of the two.

I said lightning, twice.

Fine. Give me Modinagar STD code.

It's 10231.

Okay, the number?

617...

Hello.

Hello, operator.

Pushkin.

We met yesterday. Shared some tea.

Why are you threatening my family?

I told you I don't know any details about the case.

Not on the phone, Pushkin.

Let's meet in an hour. Lodi Garden.

Mr. Pushkin. Over here. This way.

Brandy!

How dare you threaten my family?

I already told you I don't have any details of the case.

I apologize,

for my men's behavior.

Actually, they are a bit frustrated

about this Mehta and Mahajan business.

I want guarantee that these tactics won't be repeated,

and no harm will come to my family.

Sooner or later, Sondhi will show you these pictures,

and will want you to ask Ashok about them.

Who is she?

A mastermind...

or an unfortunate honeytrap.

Documents were found at her house.

There is a plot to assassinate the Russian President.

Assassination?

Yes.

Cold War.

We all thought it could be milked endlessly.

Forever.

But it ended,

and an entire section of the information trading

in the intelligence industry collapsed.

People like Mehta and Mahajan couldn't foresee this

and when the industry's trend shifted,

they were left high and dry.

And those who foresaw,

they prospered like you.

Careers are not made by sipping coffee at cafes, Mr. Pushkin.

Mehta and Mahajan are ordinary losers.

But they are government officers.

And our Wing's reputation is connected with them.

Sondhi and his men at the Bureau

and we at the Wing are looking for the same woman.

But she has vanished.

If the Russian President is attacked,

successfully or unsuccessfully.

Sondhi will use you

to save his face and make Ashok, Mehta, or Mahajan the scapegoat.

And you just want to save Mehta and Mahajan.

Me?

Not me. The Wing.

Public...

I mean ordinary people like me,

we put a lot of faith in our government,

in officers like you.

We trust that you're working day and night for the sake of our safety.

But you...

"So May India Be Great."

Did you see this woman before that day, at Berlin?

No.

Did you meet Mehta and Mahajan

at any place else other than the Berlin cafe?

No.

Who ordered you to follow these people to Berlin?

I studied at the Sharda Devi School for Deaf

and an employment agent brought me to Berlin for a job...

You're lying.

If we believed your 'Sharda Devi' story

you wouldn't be sitting here now.

My records are at Sharda Devi Institute.

Go and check.

Fake records can be made.

You are just a puppet.

You dance to their tune.

That's why you think everyone else also takes orders.

I'm deaf, not stupid.

I did everything on my own.

On my own!

Mr. Sondhi, I can keep going on like that.

I can keep asking your questions in your style,

and this deadlock will continue.

Ask him, where is this woman?

He doesn't know.

The questions that you want to insert as per your judgement,

where do you get the ideas from?

From Wing, of course.

By paying attention to Ashok.

You must have interrogated a lot of people,

but I've spent immense time with deaf people.

I understand them better than you.

Every minute we spend in this bloody room,

that woman and her accomplices are slipping further away from us.

Ask him...

did he know that, Mehta and Mahajan were blackmailing that woman?

Not in the first meeting, but 'yes'.

Does he know what were they blackmailing her for?

What happened?

Translate, please.

Ashok is asking why don't you just ask him about

the assassination plan of the Russian President?

Ginger tea.

Gin... ger... tea.

Gin...

Ger...

Today's recording.

I'll give you my feedback tomorrow.

There's a development, sir.

Ashok spoke about the Russian President's assassination plot on the tape.

I will have to keep the same line of questioning now

for continuity.

And all that will get recorded on the running tape?

Technology is a curse, Sondhi.

We cannot erase these tapes,

we cannot tamper with the recordings.

And if we do,

we will get caught in the forensic analysis.

The only thing we can control,

is what goes on these tapes.

That's why we draft the questions carefully.

So that the Bureau doesn't get any bad name later.

Sir, I can try whatever Ashok says,

can be discredited later.

Please do.

Don't make me lose you.

Ask him...

did he know that, Mehta and Mahajan were blackmailing that woman?

Not in the first meeting,

but yes.

Does he know what were they blackmailing her for?

What happened?

Translate, please.

Ashok is asking why don't you just ask him about

the assassination plan of the Russian President?

Did you have any contact with this woman

at Berlin when Mehta and Mahajan weren't around?

If the boss caught any of us interacting with anyone,

he would have fired that worker.

Any exchange of documents or paper?

Have you ever felt alone?

Russian President! Next question!

Sure.

Is there any connection between the Russian President's travel plans

and this woman, or Mehta and Mahajan?

No.

Next question.

Do you know any confidential details about the Russian President's India visit?

No, none at all.

Did you work for Mehta or Mahajan?

No. I had no connection with them.

Tea break.

You're getting out of hand!

Not here, sir. Not here.

Not here, sir.

If you wanted to kill me,

you would've done it the first time.

Who are you working for?

For us?

For the Wing? Or for whom?

For India.

Don't lie!

You're passing Wing's questions to Ashok, right?

I'm not asking anyone's questions.

I'm only warning Ashok from time to time,

to not fall prey to your questions.

Because I am only interested in the truth.

-What? -Yes.

The truth?

The truth?

What is the truth?

-What... -What is the truth?

What is the truth?

There's our country.

There are other countries in the world.

Every country has a government, departments, secrets.

The truth.

The truth is what gets recorded, typed and documented

that document gets signed by some officer

and finally it's archived.

That document is the only truth!

My job is to find Ashok's truth,

so his correct statement can be recorded.

Not your manipulated facts.

Who gives you the power anyway

to distort someone else's story?

I'll do my job my way.

If you love doing backseat driving...

You do that.

But then,

find some other sign language interpreter.

With immediate effect.

Hello.

Hello.

There's a trunk call from Modinagar.

Yes. Connect please.

Modinagar, talk to Delhi.

Pushkin, where are you? I've been trying to call.

Mother, is everything alright?

Yes. Did you get the letter?

Letter? No.

I haven't checked.

Your father published your profile in a matrimonial ad.

We got response from a good family.

The girl is a government employee in Delhi.

I see.

We mailed you her bio-data, ten days ago.

Is father alright?

And Amit?

Everyone is fine. Call me once you check the letter.

Did you have your dinner?

Dinner. Not yet.

Their address and phone number are on the letter.

Meet them.

If you like the girl, then we'll take things forward.

Modinagar, do you want to continue the call?

No. Bye, Pushkin.

Take care, mother.

The other day you had asked me,

"do I ever feel lonely?"

Yes, I had asked.

I do feel lonely... sometimes.

But, not the same way as you perhaps.

My younger brother is deaf.

I know that

an ordinary man's feeling of loneliness is different from

a deaf person's feeling of loneliness.

You've been raised in an orphanage.

Then you studied at a school for deaf and mutes.

You must have felt a lot lonelier than any of us.

One doesn't feel lonely all the time.

Loneliness is felt the most when

one sees a friend in someone

with whom one could share feelings. But,

something comes in the way.

One of the boys from our school,

worked as a mechanic at a garage.

Rehman Malik.

He repaired stolen cars that were rotting at police stations,

so that police could auction them.

He had good connections with traffic officers,

policemen, and government officers.

He could trace an owner's address, from the vehicle's number plates.

Do you know why Rehman Malik got his job?

Since our school days, he could fix engines,

motor pumps and generators.

That was his talent.

He got his job because of his talent.

And I got my job because...

of my handicap.

Because I couldn't hear.

Not because of any talent.

"Sit here."

"Don't stand up."

"Sit on the bench. Don't play football now."

If someone did a favour,

then my turn would come.

Then I'd get a chance to play in the field.

B 801, DDA FLAT KHEL GAON.

How did you find Mahajan's address?

Bus number 783.

Mahajan used it daily to come to Berlin.

For his ticket's fare he could've come to Berlin from four bus stops.

First, AIIMS.

Second, Dhaula Kuan.

Third, INA Market.

Fourth, Safdarjung.

So Mahajan must have boarded his bus everyday from one of these bus stops.

Finding an address like this, decoding through route guide,

who trained him for all this?

Common sense.

Bullshit.

How did he find out which of the four bus stops was Mahajan's?

That front page of Delhi Daily

that Mehta had hidden from me.

This?

Is this how he fooled you?

What is this?

You had said in your statement that Ashok followed you.

But how?

From where?

Go and ask him.

He is a trained agent, that boy.

And are you not?

Even you are a trained agent, Sondhi.

But we caught you redhanded with that female.

The CIA honeytrap.

Take it easy, Mahajan.

Take it easy? Really?

Who is rotting here?

You are rotting here because you are stupid.

The amateurs of the tradecraft.

You're jealous of Wing's agents, Sondhi.

The Bureau was left red-faced,

when the PM gave us the exclusivity to deal with the foreign agencies.

You were just being ponies for CIA and MI6.

You call yourselves officers of the Wing?

You're a bloody flunky.

Both of you.

They bloody laugh at you at the Wing.

You two are going to hang

for blackmailing a respected, patriot Indian agent.

You're terrified Sondhi.

If the real information leaks out,

then you'll neither remain an agent nor respected.

And "patriot"?

I'm asking one last time,

did you actually fall for this bluff?

No.

Someone is going to take the fall in this case.

Either you two

or Ashok.

How can a deaf man become an intelligence agent?

It's not possible without an extensive training.

Isn't it?

Then who the hell is this Ashok?

Where did he come from?

He's shaken up agents of two agencies.

Verma.

Yes.

-Pushkin. -Good evening, sir.

I saw your picture on the bio-data.

Thank you sir.

Come.

I'll be... Wait a minute.

What will you have? Whiskey? Rum?

Tea.

Anjali is on duty at the ITO till 7 pm.

She will be here soon.

So... I was in the Statesman.

City beat.

Your school's trustee Rakesh Sahni,

he is a good friend of mine.

He's my senior, sir.

He was telling me, you haven't been to the school for a week.

Where have you been?

It's an on-site assignment, sir.

Where?

I can't discuss that. I am so sorry.

So what's the plan?

Plan, sir?

Do you intend to remain a teacher at the school till you retire,

or find yourself a better job?

Here or abroad?

Sir, my graduation grades were

quite low for any private company or MNCs.

So it will be difficult.

Anjali was a topper in her college.

In high school a well.

The government jobs don't have the same charm anymore.

Liberalisation has changed everything.

Only MNCs pay good salaries.

What happened?

What happened to your face?

I slipped while trying to catch a bus.

Oh, God.

Don't you have a car?

It's easier now to buy a car, after this budget.

Not like the old days,

when you worked all your life and bought a car at old age.

She's here.

Car?

My daughter.

Hello.

By the way, how tall did your father say you were?

5'7"... 7" and a half!

5'8"?

Papa. I am wearing heels.

What did you do after finding out Mahajan's bus stop?

On my next off day,

I waited near the bus stop.

[indistinct chatter]

Chief had rung the canteen intercom.

Were you supposed to give him some file?

Yes, it's in my room.

Is your wedding date fixed?

Every letter, every phone call to your house is screened.

By the way, did you like her?

That girl is having an affair,

with a colleague from her office.

She is beautiful and intelligent.

She won't stay single or a virgin,

waiting for some decent guy to show up.

Mahajan denied ripping off any pasted copy of a newspaper from the bus stop.

Mahajan will obviously defend himself.

He got duped even after years of training.

How did you get into Mahajan's house?

One day at the Berlin Cafe...

[indistinct chatter]

[indistinct chatter]

What the hell.

Are you blind?

Dim wit.

Who pays you...

You've hired a bunch of idiots here.

See what he has done! Leave me.

Give it to me!

Did you tell your friend

to take the impression of the keys on a soap?

Yes.

Who taught you to take an impression like that on a soap?

I saw it in a film many years ago.

They showed us at our school.

Which film?

"Sadhu Aur Shaitan."

Did you not feel scared?

I was scared.

I could've turned back at that point.

I had proven to myself that

a handicap is as good as trained personnel.

Then why didn't you quit there?

Because until you do something grand,

it never becomes a spectacle.

Are you sure you saw Bureau officer Jagdish Sondhi

with the woman in those photographs?

Yes.

It was Jagdish Sondhi with this woman in those photographs.

Were you doing all this together with the woman?

No.

If it were so,

then I would've been employed in 'Berlin' around the time the woman arrived.

But, I started working there long before she got there.

Hello.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Sir.

It's the Chief, for you.

Sondhi here, sir.

Come up immediately, with Satpal.

Bring Pushkin here.

I don't want these two chatting in my absence.

Right, sir.

Sir, can we take a tea break?

-Come madam. -Yes, let's go.

Pee?

Go, relieve yourself.

I need to leave.

We'll continue tomorrow.

Bye.

How did you get in?

You could've got me killed.

Wing.

'Informer!'

Raman had told me about one.

If you weren't hiding in Sondhi's cabin,

I would've had time to find some evidence there.

Wing could have leveraged with Sondhi and Chief.

We could have got Mehta and Mahajan out.

Is Wing only concerned about two blackmailers?

Wing's worried about its agents,

like Bureau is for Sondhi.

I was there too that day, at Mahajan's house.

Where are the photographs and negatives?

They were here.

They have been stolen.

Stolen?

Do you think we are fools?

Tell Sondhi he isn't talking.

What do we do with him?

RN.

I'll come too.

I wanted to get out and somehow inform the Wing

that Bureau's officers have got to Mahajan.

I am telling you the truth. I don't know...

If Satpal hadn't come with me,

I would've straightaway called the Wing.

The Russian President's assassination plan,

was all this connected to that?

The KGB had confidently shared the Russian President's travel plan with the Bureau.

That woman stole the documents from Sondhi's office for ISI.

That woman can identify Sondhi.

Mehta and Mahajan knew about this.

And they started blackmailing her,

rather than informing their bosses.

So, Ashok's interrogation,

it's not an investigation.

It's a cover up.

To save Sondhi.

That's all that Bureau wants.

Mehta and Mahajan, that's all that Wing wants.

I won't let Sondhi win.

As long as I am the one asking questions,

I will not let him frame Ashok.

Hello.

Delhi. Trunk call from Modinagar.

Connect, please.

Modinagar, please talk to Delhi.

Hello.

Hello, mother.

Hello, Pushkin.

What impression did you make on Gupta?

Why? What happened?

"What happened?"

They turned down the proposal.

Your father is very upset.

Maybe they didn't like something about me.

I knew you would not be able to handle it.

You don't know how to make an impression.

Maybe she has a different preference.

Everyone doesn't have to like everybody.

It's not easy to find a good match, Pushkin.

Your father's friend Raghav Sachdeva did all the inquiries about this girl.

It's alright, mother.

She is very homely. Doesn't roam around much.

Doesn't have too many friends either.

Hello.

Yes, mother.

Pushkin, I'm saying that If the meeting had gone well...

You didn't come for today's session. Nor your phone is connecting.

So, I came to check.

It's a minor injury.

No need for a dressing.

Take these painkillers. SOS.

Did you hurt yourself?

Sir, he had called us to report a dead body.

He said some intruder hit him on the head from behind.

Body?

Where is the body?

Are you sure you saw this woman's dead body?

Yes.

Where did it disappear?

Someone hit me on the head from behind and I fainted.

What did you do after you gained consciousness?

When I gained consciousness, the dead body was still there.

I rushed out of the house.

To my neighbour's, Mr. Sardesai place.

And I called the police from his place.

Did your neighbour see the body?

I returned home only after the police had arrived.

When the body wasn't there?

Yes.

Did you see the body before you hurt your head or after?

Are you making fun of me?

No one saw the dead body except you.

And the police didn't find any dead body.

So as far as I know, this woman is still at large.

My top priority is finding this woman and her accomplices.

As soon as possible.

Today's set of questions.

Two Bureau agents were found dead at Mahajan's house.

How did you kill these two?

Pushkin.

He's asking about how my brother is and what he does.

I was only replying to that.

This is a crucial stage.

He's trying to stall you,

so that he can come up with some story of his own.

That's what this business is, making up stories.

Mostly fake.

Ask the question again, please.

How did you kill these two?

You...

You killed a man?

This question isn't mentioned here, I am asking you.

Did you murder one of the agents?

Yes.

B 801, DDA FLAT KHEL GAON.

Mahajan started to say something.

I couldn't understand why was he talking to me.

He knew that I am deaf.

But he wasn't talking to me.

He was speaking to someone who was on the phone.

What...

What's going on?

He brought me here.

You two work together, don't you?

What?

I figured everything.

Let go!

B 801, DDA FLAT KHEL GAON.

Mr. Sondhi, did this woman escape or was she killed that day?

Of course, she escaped.

Mehta fired at her car, but she sped away.

We found the car two days later, abandoned at Tughlakabad.

Ask the last question on the list, please.

Why did you take so many risks to save this woman?

You killed a man too, why?

This woman and me, we were trained in Pakistan.

For ISI.

They told us about Cafe Berlin.

I was sent to work there with the deaf staff.

This woman was sent to India

to extract the details of the Russian President's India visit.

I got arrested before the plan could be executed.

So, I had to erase all the evidence of this woman's activities

and create an escape route for her.

Sondhi!

You bastard!

That woman is dead!

I saw her dead body at my house!

I wasn't hallucinating.

You are doing this to save yourself.

How did you frame Ashok?

I hope you're recording this.

-Sondhi! -Tell the guards to take Ashok.

We thought we were clever.

We used deaf people as acoustic walls while trading secrets.

But after Ashok, who will trust Berlin?

So...

That woman tried crossing the border from Punjab, with her accomplice.

They were arrested there.

By me.

I traded her...

with Sondhi.

For Mehta and Mahajan.

And Ashok?

Ashok.

To save your life

he confessed to being an ISI spy.

Otherwise, the stage was set.

That woman's body was found at your house,

and your fingerprints were on the murder weapon.

People think we agents know

about government's secrets,

and the inside deals.

But that's not the case.

Even we make guesses.

We also put two plus two

and arrive at three and five.

Rarely at four.

But Ashok was different.

His two plus two

added up to four.

Maybe that's what he wanted.

For the world to see

his spectacle.

The one who was always denied an opportunity to play,

changed the game.

The Russian President's tour of India

concluded peacefully yesterday in Delhi.

He flew back to Moscow in his private airplane.

No decision has been made yet

on Russia giving cryogenic rockets to India.

Due to the pressures from America,

a question mark still hangs on this trade deal.

Top space research scientists have said

that India should end its dependency on other countries,

and develop cryogenic technology on its own.

So Pushkin, how was your leave?

It was okay, sir.

Did you read this?

Deaf-mute Pakistani spy.

No, sir.

I believe all the kids in our school have.

A couple of them asked me in the morning,

if they can join the Indian Intelligence when they grow up?

Nobody would've ever thought this,

that a deaf boy can become a spy.

Do you think it's possible?
