Nighttime. Mumbai. Somewhere within the cold, bureaucratic walls of the CBI Headquarters…
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8RUxtzZIm
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjhsvlgNKE
On his desk lay a half-burnt file—its cover nearly illegible, but the faded title struck like lightning:
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6nZeWa29z
“PROJECT TRIDENT – Level 9: RESTRICTED.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMqe4ONFCP
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GjJEGlT7r
As Yuvaan’s fingers grazed the charred cover, a sudden chill ran down his spine.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcU3XuVhqzK
“Trident… where have I heard that before?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eL96oEzW5
He opened the file.
First Page:
Operative: Vaidya
Status: Transferred from RAW – Declassified.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEvQ8qN4FQ
Yuvaan’s breath hitched.

FLASHBACK – 7 Years Ago, RAW Training Facility – Somewhere in the snowy silence of Himachal
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJfJbxr6v9
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
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3BsnzXKrW
The memory sliced through him.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5psQflZ3qs
“They lied to me… Vaidya wasn’t just a psychiatrist. He was RAW’s top-level memory architect. But why hide it from me?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKyUTporSu
His eyes scanned the next page. A blurred photograph… the silhouette of a woman.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqu1DKOiPw
Caption:
Subject: Kiara Fernandes
Phase 2 Test: FAILED
Status: MISSING
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJixyYXxu7m
The file slipped from his trembling hands.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLZG9geOMA
“Kiara… she was a test subject?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uDSPRFwFU
The girl he was hunting… was part of Trident?

CBI Cafeteria – 2:30 AM
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZ1RuGtUXy
He sat alone with a bitter cup of coffee. Nearby, two senior officers murmured in hushed tones.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnmytaONui
> “That new guy opened the TRIDENT file?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoqG68DFss
“The one Dr. Vaidya had sealed himself?”

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxVkVVDLqX
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzZk7u6sRX
Yuvaan’s ears caught every word. But before he could process it, one name echoed inside his head like a thunderclap—
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCEr4Ig9jx
“Vikrant.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPaRmcaeKQ
He stood up, left the cup untouched, and vanished into the misty streets of Mumbai.

Cut To: A Forgotten Alley in Ghatkopar
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrPQQOi7AB
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoW0jEhCvgz
Inside, a man sat with his back turned.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbb2fU6ukly
> “Still alive, are you?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAc6yj5lYH
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvr3X35QoO6
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxX2ZvsPWIx
He turned.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXPco3Gcp2
Vikrant.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxe3W4lSUQ
There was fear in his eyes. But respect too.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZIMvz17md
> “Yuvaan bhai… they said you were dead.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCfR89Roan
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrE1JsdbrR
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjJwwp4YH7
Yuvaan walked up, placed his palm firmly on the table.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVFWrAwnVJ
> “I’m looking for a girl. I don’t know her name. Only a butterfly tattoo on her wrist.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Rnup5IVGS
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeSDLK3OLd
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHXkQfen1d
Vikrant didn’t ask questions. He typed.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGs9zkgNzcH
The screen flickered, then stopped.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1T0muPJRjc
Name: Kiara Fernandes
Status: MISSING since 2017.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYF881m0jzW
Yuvaan’s expression froze.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexAn3AhKga
> “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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkG4K5AfLm
Late night. Everyone gone.
Yuvaan flips through another file. Suddenly, a holographic projector sparks to life.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hNmZlp36C
Mr. Vaidya’s digital visage appears.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgO78qdVubu
> “If you're seeing this, Yuvaan… it means you're either hiding… or you’re too close to the truth to survive much longer.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzXa3T0Iaw
In TRIDENT, we don’t just play with minds…
We sacrifice memories.”
Yuvaan doesn’t flinch.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYitU0yUpGW
Then I’ll remember for them all.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AABMGEEBJ
FADE OUT.
The bloodstains are old. But the wings still carry their story.
