Nighttime. Mumbai. Somewhere within the cold, bureaucratic walls of the CBI Headquarters…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhKuY35F7v
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAB2aTmXIxR
On his desk lay a half-burnt file—its cover nearly illegible, but the faded title struck like lightning:
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWyVwJsDIn
“PROJECT TRIDENT – Level 9: RESTRICTED.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTEUPYBc8Q
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGnohMI2Ra
As Yuvaan’s fingers grazed the charred cover, a sudden chill ran down his spine.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv3nq1pYpU
“Trident… where have I heard that before?”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BL2FYJUAp
He opened the file.
First Page:
Operative: Vaidya
Status: Transferred from RAW – Declassified.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDvDNYmRWX
Yuvaan’s breath hitched.

FLASHBACK – 7 Years Ago, RAW Training Facility – Somewhere in the snowy silence of Himachal
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDprX1qvOV
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."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8VEaJaom7

158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9ecnpNvWg
All eyes turned toward a younger, sharper Yuvaan.

Back to Present
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fZhP1IlVV
The memory sliced through him.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTinqBIPD1
“They lied to me… Vaidya wasn’t just a psychiatrist. He was RAW’s top-level memory architect. But why hide it from me?”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoh64WulLhs
His eyes scanned the next page. A blurred photograph… the silhouette of a woman.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJDVg6vYDB
Caption:
Subject: Kiara Fernandes
Phase 2 Test: FAILED
Status: MISSING
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvSISHnNNF
The file slipped from his trembling hands.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIVaahj3AF
“Kiara… she was a test subject?”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9LHEX3fS4
The girl he was hunting… was part of Trident?

CBI Cafeteria – 2:30 AM
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbqlSL7psZ
He sat alone with a bitter cup of coffee. Nearby, two senior officers murmured in hushed tones.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtehE5iyVa
> “That new guy opened the TRIDENT file?”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLt7zMHdb8Q
“The one Dr. Vaidya had sealed himself?”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgIaJCBlWu
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SfEycH9m2
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL9FPoIcwq
Yuvaan’s ears caught every word. But before he could process it, one name echoed inside his head like a thunderclap—
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCydWz1eid
“Vikrant.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWnrkvDOqV
He stood up, left the cup untouched, and vanished into the misty streets of Mumbai.

Cut To: A Forgotten Alley in Ghatkopar
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLDAjlEsoo
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukXXJLGW2C
Inside, a man sat with his back turned.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfGEeMmiuI
> “Still alive, are you?”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokbO8oQvBk
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCaPofG1Zh
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46MjEY9vj3
He turned.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4ZjZYY0KA
Vikrant.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwC2I95yYKW
There was fear in his eyes. But respect too.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWds9tpoJs
> “Yuvaan bhai… they said you were dead.”

158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOcnb3M0x9
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgQszrYGdw
Yuvaan walked up, placed his palm firmly on the table.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7IHAjJ5Lo
> “I’m looking for a girl. I don’t know her name. Only a butterfly tattoo on her wrist.”

158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3qWhzSojf
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNC5hBy3i7
Vikrant didn’t ask questions. He typed.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqF23KuYtBZ
The screen flickered, then stopped.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9b7YtB8WY
Name: Kiara Fernandes
Status: MISSING since 2017.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLc8WYHfR3t
Yuvaan’s expression froze.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvKnUrwJHu
> “She wasn’t just made to disappear, Vikrant… someone erased her existence. Like she was never real to begin with.”

Teaser End Scene
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVVofxKqVs
Back at the CBI.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztlpk7Gm79
Late night. Everyone gone.
Yuvaan flips through another file. Suddenly, a holographic projector sparks to life.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEOZ28Q4GD
Mr. Vaidya’s digital visage appears.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRSsIwPfWI
> “If you're seeing this, Yuvaan… it means you're either hiding… or you’re too close to the truth to survive much longer.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtfyvuhtHN
In TRIDENT, we don’t just play with minds…
We sacrifice memories.”
Yuvaan doesn’t flinch.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPfSoQkEOo
Then I’ll remember for them all.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYDRI29gmP
FADE OUT.
The bloodstains are old. But the wings still carry their story.
