Nighttime. Mumbai. Somewhere within the cold, bureaucratic walls of the CBI Headquarters…
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8Oafaq8mt
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.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGN4iYDSY6
On his desk lay a half-burnt file—its cover nearly illegible, but the faded title struck like lightning:
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBwuCpIEIf
“PROJECT TRIDENT – Level 9: RESTRICTED.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lH5xmg3QC
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.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwaIgn98T1
As Yuvaan’s fingers grazed the charred cover, a sudden chill ran down his spine.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGODq5YzHij
“Trident… where have I heard that before?”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOOB84LKaJ
He opened the file.
First Page:
Operative: Vaidya
Status: Transferred from RAW – Declassified.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPwL9HiUC8
Yuvaan’s breath hitched.

FLASHBACK – 7 Years Ago, RAW Training Facility – Somewhere in the snowy silence of Himachal
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPx7CnjTiA
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
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oZR4uVC7Q
The memory sliced through him.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFfmxFWHSA
“They lied to me… Vaidya wasn’t just a psychiatrist. He was RAW’s top-level memory architect. But why hide it from me?”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YcrLutteu
His eyes scanned the next page. A blurred photograph… the silhouette of a woman.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEVyqlQlwd
Caption:
Subject: Kiara Fernandes
Phase 2 Test: FAILED
Status: MISSING
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfFAKknq1v
The file slipped from his trembling hands.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypQNH4l7Fn
“Kiara… she was a test subject?”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5t68Wmnda
The girl he was hunting… was part of Trident?

CBI Cafeteria – 2:30 AM
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iG7mIffO6
He sat alone with a bitter cup of coffee. Nearby, two senior officers murmured in hushed tones.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwwncBW2tt
> “That new guy opened the TRIDENT file?”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMN0WBuRpFL
“The one Dr. Vaidya had sealed himself?”

161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQ8cfGP0jz
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChCTn4XOxK
Yuvaan’s ears caught every word. But before he could process it, one name echoed inside his head like a thunderclap—
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpxfj5EwUU
“Vikrant.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwua5v9tx9
He stood up, left the cup untouched, and vanished into the misty streets of Mumbai.

Cut To: A Forgotten Alley in Ghatkopar
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPW7mnWBeK
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.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoGADEdkwW
Inside, a man sat with his back turned.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpoSwr1lFy
> “Still alive, are you?”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetPooN8Ljo
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMp3bYZY8z
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEd9NG3VRXM
He turned.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxzogHLJfs
Vikrant.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkxQzo52s8
There was fear in his eyes. But respect too.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLVyw9jdsz
> “Yuvaan bhai… they said you were dead.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrwWYZYuQi
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85pBLJrhTR
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWvTDJywQ5
Yuvaan walked up, placed his palm firmly on the table.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjIHVCGQUM
> “I’m looking for a girl. I don’t know her name. Only a butterfly tattoo on her wrist.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseoY5VsbBr
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetCc66ryGv
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdml78qI5Aq
Vikrant didn’t ask questions. He typed.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrA4zHJGLSf
The screen flickered, then stopped.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGO9zblAk9
Name: Kiara Fernandes
Status: MISSING since 2017.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemNMf5mDep
Yuvaan’s expression froze.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX40B7bF4E7
> “She wasn’t just made to disappear, Vikrant… someone erased her existence. Like she was never real to begin with.”

Teaser End Scene
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFKV09BRCz
Back at the CBI.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBChqLMSZS
Late night. Everyone gone.
Yuvaan flips through another file. Suddenly, a holographic projector sparks to life.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZtk38mKXW
Mr. Vaidya’s digital visage appears.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0tTOp0CUf
> “If you're seeing this, Yuvaan… it means you're either hiding… or you’re too close to the truth to survive much longer.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrzuNeKz5Q
In TRIDENT, we don’t just play with minds…
We sacrifice memories.”
Yuvaan doesn’t flinch.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyXtpL0khx
Then I’ll remember for them all.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHblDQFOr5o
FADE OUT.
The bloodstains are old. But the wings still carry their story.
