Nighttime. Mumbai. Somewhere within the cold, bureaucratic walls of the CBI Headquarters…
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAc7SEP7ep
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.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXoeTIb7go
On his desk lay a half-burnt file—its cover nearly illegible, but the faded title struck like lightning:
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXoiUDfSrh
“PROJECT TRIDENT – Level 9: RESTRICTED.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQ4sq34Npw
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.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimbMIRwGe6
As Yuvaan’s fingers grazed the charred cover, a sudden chill ran down his spine.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgUALiaXWQ
“Trident… where have I heard that before?”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6Mg7ECVer
He opened the file.
First Page:
Operative: Vaidya
Status: Transferred from RAW – Declassified.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GPCujXvY1
Yuvaan’s breath hitched.

FLASHBACK – 7 Years Ago, RAW Training Facility – Somewhere in the snowy silence of Himachal
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2SUjxUDhN
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."
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoEeRDHWON
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfkmCIsXxE
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuLv3whPQj
All eyes turned toward a younger, sharper Yuvaan.

Back to Present
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1R9zX1SLO
The memory sliced through him.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HHqrzOCKJ
“They lied to me… Vaidya wasn’t just a psychiatrist. He was RAW’s top-level memory architect. But why hide it from me?”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQRlLOy6cp
His eyes scanned the next page. A blurred photograph… the silhouette of a woman.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0M6nR2kind
Caption:
Subject: Kiara Fernandes
Phase 2 Test: FAILED
Status: MISSING
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouB1Z16xSR
The file slipped from his trembling hands.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUYtKcWT0L
“Kiara… she was a test subject?”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡci2goh2kUI
The girl he was hunting… was part of Trident?

CBI Cafeteria – 2:30 AM
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHlsGkCcfA
He sat alone with a bitter cup of coffee. Nearby, two senior officers murmured in hushed tones.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8NDzA7zzS
> “That new guy opened the TRIDENT file?”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukpBhhpaeC
“The one Dr. Vaidya had sealed himself?”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1hLgcJo1S
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSL0eKQbq7p
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡen719MMazO
Yuvaan’s ears caught every word. But before he could process it, one name echoed inside his head like a thunderclap—
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMjdNepOjY
“Vikrant.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5t3YwFxCGq
He stood up, left the cup untouched, and vanished into the misty streets of Mumbai.

Cut To: A Forgotten Alley in Ghatkopar
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkqwHAUSu1
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.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTytUcF7If
Inside, a man sat with his back turned.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIdsCdSLGd
> “Still alive, are you?”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqkGMEi6nv
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvk94TSDvK
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSn3cIGwvA1
He turned.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODepW3lCWl
Vikrant.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHvytbspFs
There was fear in his eyes. But respect too.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZP8lcucSC
> “Yuvaan bhai… they said you were dead.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIx4zhmGED
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtjwIphiMo
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqyCf8aI3j
Yuvaan walked up, placed his palm firmly on the table.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Rr0Z46oBD
> “I’m looking for a girl. I don’t know her name. Only a butterfly tattoo on her wrist.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmY8bt2r7pY
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1HI29gjIl
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOiAREjkpF
Vikrant didn’t ask questions. He typed.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrYLWANeX8
The screen flickered, then stopped.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GhmitkVge
Name: Kiara Fernandes
Status: MISSING since 2017.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hjj73f3Sb
Yuvaan’s expression froze.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJIdHEbl6s
> “She wasn’t just made to disappear, Vikrant… someone erased her existence. Like she was never real to begin with.”

Teaser End Scene
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJ8axUKr7x
Back at the CBI.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHdOKUpKul
Late night. Everyone gone.
Yuvaan flips through another file. Suddenly, a holographic projector sparks to life.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe94ZuDNTyY
Mr. Vaidya’s digital visage appears.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMCiKvRm88
> “If you're seeing this, Yuvaan… it means you're either hiding… or you’re too close to the truth to survive much longer.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVLRwHBBn4
In TRIDENT, we don’t just play with minds…
We sacrifice memories.”
Yuvaan doesn’t flinch.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNU91INoK4
Then I’ll remember for them all.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8EEuiG0Kq
FADE OUT.
The bloodstains are old. But the wings still carry their story.
