Nighttime. Mumbai. Somewhere within the cold, bureaucratic walls of the CBI Headquarters…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6BpDvmzWE
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pN2DraBXn
On his desk lay a half-burnt file—its cover nearly illegible, but the faded title struck like lightning:
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGivZvMaAh
“PROJECT TRIDENT – Level 9: RESTRICTED.”
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7oH7Qnovf
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GbKmgODKt
As Yuvaan’s fingers grazed the charred cover, a sudden chill ran down his spine.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdljr7ZpJY
“Trident… where have I heard that before?”
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MhDQoGE2m
He opened the file.
First Page:
Operative: Vaidya
Status: Transferred from RAW – Declassified.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQdMYuVYbT
Yuvaan’s breath hitched.

FLASHBACK – 7 Years Ago, RAW Training Facility – Somewhere in the snowy silence of Himachal
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhXvgPcV9C
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."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pFKBvmJFt
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNW5oa43aI6
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFtcsMIAJK
All eyes turned toward a younger, sharper Yuvaan.

Back to Present
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvGOcpUMrt
The memory sliced through him.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXVZKFhv7z
“They lied to me… Vaidya wasn’t just a psychiatrist. He was RAW’s top-level memory architect. But why hide it from me?”
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPurOVP6UU
His eyes scanned the next page. A blurred photograph… the silhouette of a woman.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2amvWQIDj
Caption:
Subject: Kiara Fernandes
Phase 2 Test: FAILED
Status: MISSING
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GN6PGDJpw
The file slipped from his trembling hands.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXhX9oT7SF
“Kiara… she was a test subject?”
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVFpvKNIkA
The girl he was hunting… was part of Trident?

CBI Cafeteria – 2:30 AM
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdwWEyU30O
He sat alone with a bitter cup of coffee. Nearby, two senior officers murmured in hushed tones.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8hdBIeyXM
> “That new guy opened the TRIDENT file?”
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG33ioOTUS
“The one Dr. Vaidya had sealed himself?”
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZbB0qvzvh
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEmHFH147V
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5pF3MYux4
Yuvaan’s ears caught every word. But before he could process it, one name echoed inside his head like a thunderclap—
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19fXlWc3a7
“Vikrant.”
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8aZH5vZuB
He stood up, left the cup untouched, and vanished into the misty streets of Mumbai.

Cut To: A Forgotten Alley in Ghatkopar
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9i18SXSXN
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEa1aaNYeG3
Inside, a man sat with his back turned.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tDNDNTT0v
> “Still alive, are you?”
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhB4gxjmFW
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7I0ckG276
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAh956P7Tp
He turned.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UzPYH6hig
Vikrant.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXH1AdQPHFo
There was fear in his eyes. But respect too.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mnv9JEi3h
> “Yuvaan bhai… they said you were dead.”
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWs8SzUPEch
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRYDIoZGD4
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrHXlIfpuN
Yuvaan walked up, placed his palm firmly on the table.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aJHl426Du
> “I’m looking for a girl. I don’t know her name. Only a butterfly tattoo on her wrist.”
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARrBVDe7gb
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYNboRs4lw
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzZGCfkhsy
Vikrant didn’t ask questions. He typed.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5cpRouDTg
The screen flickered, then stopped.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeieEnc8aiT
Name: Kiara Fernandes
Status: MISSING since 2017.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufkf6ZF51h
Yuvaan’s expression froze.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutO8sYQ1cG
> “She wasn’t just made to disappear, Vikrant… someone erased her existence. Like she was never real to begin with.”

Teaser End Scene
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMYW4BJxiv
Back at the CBI.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUSm1YoDlm
Late night. Everyone gone.
Yuvaan flips through another file. Suddenly, a holographic projector sparks to life.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOsYAK3B35
Mr. Vaidya’s digital visage appears.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wEldMPr6m
> “If you're seeing this, Yuvaan… it means you're either hiding… or you’re too close to the truth to survive much longer.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoCasp0SAb
In TRIDENT, we don’t just play with minds…
We sacrifice memories.”
Yuvaan doesn’t flinch.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRlazZQgZF
Then I’ll remember for them all.”
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MiZigT0jl
FADE OUT.
The bloodstains are old. But the wings still carry their story.
