Nighttime. Mumbai. Somewhere within the cold, bureaucratic walls of the CBI Headquarters…
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzkJ2PuwW8
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.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYqra0W0zP
On his desk lay a half-burnt file—its cover nearly illegible, but the faded title struck like lightning:
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT1uyJPmG9
“PROJECT TRIDENT – Level 9: RESTRICTED.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWnlyUt0qK
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.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks63YWn27D
As Yuvaan’s fingers grazed the charred cover, a sudden chill ran down his spine.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOErUdYmbFq
“Trident… where have I heard that before?”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlR3aLKRVhk
He opened the file.
First Page:
Operative: Vaidya
Status: Transferred from RAW – Declassified.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LoOcnXXjf
Yuvaan’s breath hitched.

FLASHBACK – 7 Years Ago, RAW Training Facility – Somewhere in the snowy silence of Himachal
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr61erNGddg
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.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡql8xgbAiQh
> "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."
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42JFMbVgyh
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsxR57cDCG
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ymH23IfTa
All eyes turned toward a younger, sharper Yuvaan.

Back to Present
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfoUjX6bY1
The memory sliced through him.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUktgqHga0k
“They lied to me… Vaidya wasn’t just a psychiatrist. He was RAW’s top-level memory architect. But why hide it from me?”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLIli00G2z
His eyes scanned the next page. A blurred photograph… the silhouette of a woman.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAsP9NXBjt
Caption:
Subject: Kiara Fernandes
Phase 2 Test: FAILED
Status: MISSING
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhqliw7H2f
The file slipped from his trembling hands.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Vezq8X5hS
“Kiara… she was a test subject?”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTQslcCMDq
The girl he was hunting… was part of Trident?

CBI Cafeteria – 2:30 AM
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI50n5WO8Sw
He sat alone with a bitter cup of coffee. Nearby, two senior officers murmured in hushed tones.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcAYp1XyY6
> “That new guy opened the TRIDENT file?”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7uix5Kguw
“The one Dr. Vaidya had sealed himself?”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQc4Lzav8S
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡai9z73PSxp
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjgAZBx964
Yuvaan’s ears caught every word. But before he could process it, one name echoed inside his head like a thunderclap—
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lvlvRDdj3
“Vikrant.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUkGgRJuZw
He stood up, left the cup untouched, and vanished into the misty streets of Mumbai.

Cut To: A Forgotten Alley in Ghatkopar
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YaJjTdaOZ
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.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2a3GsUfjG
Inside, a man sat with his back turned.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboSg77RkYt
> “Still alive, are you?”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLy1807I1W
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmUAybbQTn
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPmiI5xqxS
He turned.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMViTQdheAU
Vikrant.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gmPnelz3b
There was fear in his eyes. But respect too.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgR6YgybzpO
> “Yuvaan bhai… they said you were dead.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2YpAQLy1e
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6suPkheSZ
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukTJr2Xp7z
Yuvaan walked up, placed his palm firmly on the table.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVeCMkqhJk
> “I’m looking for a girl. I don’t know her name. Only a butterfly tattoo on her wrist.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsXnbIkc01
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY7LYj8Q0Z
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn44i3gpDUc
Vikrant didn’t ask questions. He typed.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQM8gagZbq6
The screen flickered, then stopped.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6HLSTLBlp
Name: Kiara Fernandes
Status: MISSING since 2017.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpRSYqojLE
Yuvaan’s expression froze.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAIew5AuYA
> “She wasn’t just made to disappear, Vikrant… someone erased her existence. Like she was never real to begin with.”

Teaser End Scene
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaVmN66fRp
Back at the CBI.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhGXmOgA16
Late night. Everyone gone.
Yuvaan flips through another file. Suddenly, a holographic projector sparks to life.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsStxxJkM3x
Mr. Vaidya’s digital visage appears.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPToxvZnDsD
> “If you're seeing this, Yuvaan… it means you're either hiding… or you’re too close to the truth to survive much longer.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeP4Fm8EKuS
In TRIDENT, we don’t just play with minds…
We sacrifice memories.”
Yuvaan doesn’t flinch.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEh3JZboWvH
Then I’ll remember for them all.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNC5aK7AKj
FADE OUT.
The bloodstains are old. But the wings still carry their story.
