Nighttime. Mumbai. Somewhere within the cold, bureaucratic walls of the CBI Headquarters…
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CEzER1SVC
A dim cubicle glowed under the pale light of a dying ceiling lamp. Amidst scattered case files, broken pens, and empty coffee cups, sat Yuvaan—unmoving, sleepless, haunted. His eyes weren’t red from exhaustion; they were burning with something deeper… obsession.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrtUxCp9TF
On his desk lay a half-burnt file—its cover nearly illegible, but the faded title struck like lightning:
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3KErFH4kL
“PROJECT TRIDENT – Level 9: RESTRICTED.”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwQEqPKGY5
The file wasn’t meant to be there. A rookie officer had accidentally dropped it on his desk, not knowing it belonged in the archive vault. But fate had other plans.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCGKGD6vjl
As Yuvaan’s fingers grazed the charred cover, a sudden chill ran down his spine.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwikAuWiQV
“Trident… where have I heard that before?”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLERhArupMo
He opened the file.
First Page:
Operative: Vaidya
Status: Transferred from RAW – Declassified.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC65v59Z51
Yuvaan’s breath hitched.

FLASHBACK – 7 Years Ago, RAW Training Facility – Somewhere in the snowy silence of Himachal
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdenqXeOeDS
An elite camp hidden under snow. Inside a tent, warmth flickered from a projector as Mr. Vaidya, clad in a black coat, addressed a group of cadets.

> "Memory is a weapon," he said coldly. "And wielding it? That takes something… inhuman. There was only one boy who could retain 300 unlinked symbols without error."

All eyes turned toward a younger, sharper Yuvaan.

Back to Present
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVUxJZnxyR
The memory sliced through him.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2XVkjsGyN
“They lied to me… Vaidya wasn’t just a psychiatrist. He was RAW’s top-level memory architect. But why hide it from me?”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwFi5ENKd2
His eyes scanned the next page. A blurred photograph… the silhouette of a woman.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN53VMF9K3E
Caption:
Subject: Kiara Fernandes
Phase 2 Test: FAILED
Status: MISSING
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtSNay8cV5
The file slipped from his trembling hands.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RCBBCmVQ4
“Kiara… she was a test subject?”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S76PEmD9Q
The girl he was hunting… was part of Trident?

CBI Cafeteria – 2:30 AM
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6byCUFMsn
He sat alone with a bitter cup of coffee. Nearby, two senior officers murmured in hushed tones.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWBPGyMu3D
> “That new guy opened the TRIDENT file?”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTsK4VmoAi
“The one Dr. Vaidya had sealed himself?”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJJhcsODyN
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa3ThcdeIc
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ5UbqfJXP
Yuvaan’s ears caught every word. But before he could process it, one name echoed inside his head like a thunderclap—
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxaoSWwWF3
“Vikrant.”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfHTRm38K2
He stood up, left the cup untouched, and vanished into the misty streets of Mumbai.

Cut To: A Forgotten Alley in Ghatkopar
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPROTuxRlVc
A black cab screeched to a halt in front of a decrepit basement. Flickering tube lights. Cigarette smoke coiling through the stale air. Old monitors buzzing with static. The past lived here… unwanted, unspoken.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwMcjmQYUd
Inside, a man sat with his back turned.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKB3cgzaNM
> “Still alive, are you?”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfon85CUyx
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9pj6pJwhK
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzrUNlw2cJ
He turned.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zlNAe9Rnk
Vikrant.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2MeJFI46D
There was fear in his eyes. But respect too.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMR3YTVeQU
> “Yuvaan bhai… they said you were dead.”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgfISonvPW
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMjKXHBUsi
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdMeapXaUJ
Yuvaan walked up, placed his palm firmly on the table.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppwkuP5bJa
> “I’m looking for a girl. I don’t know her name. Only a butterfly tattoo on her wrist.”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0b2MMecnFv

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmV0KEtYmt
Vikrant didn’t ask questions. He typed.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlh5m1KjLbv
The screen flickered, then stopped.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswW9rz2yV5
Name: Kiara Fernandes
Status: MISSING since 2017.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0jSlMbFMn
Yuvaan’s expression froze.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHufUyC84Tx
> “She wasn’t just made to disappear, Vikrant… someone erased her existence. Like she was never real to begin with.”

Teaser End Scene

Back at the CBI.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVBR8QMLUP
Late night. Everyone gone.
Yuvaan flips through another file. Suddenly, a holographic projector sparks to life.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcXiEKavp5
Mr. Vaidya’s digital visage appears.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1qirWME6Q
> “If you're seeing this, Yuvaan… it means you're either hiding… or you’re too close to the truth to survive much longer.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTgoOeOjJK
In TRIDENT, we don’t just play with minds…
We sacrifice memories.”
Yuvaan doesn’t flinch.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbZNWJkR8H
Then I’ll remember for them all.”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFb5Cu9q7SQ
FADE OUT.
The bloodstains are old. But the wings still carry their story.
