Nighttime. Mumbai. Somewhere within the cold, bureaucratic walls of the CBI Headquarters…
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEheMYkpfDI
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJdgbaFHol
On his desk lay a half-burnt file—its cover nearly illegible, but the faded title struck like lightning:
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AD0XH0wFu
“PROJECT TRIDENT – Level 9: RESTRICTED.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOIK5wvqgv
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDr1aacYP1C
As Yuvaan’s fingers grazed the charred cover, a sudden chill ran down his spine.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAyQnk8zu3
“Trident… where have I heard that before?”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2nKBM3Itn
He opened the file.
First Page:
Operative: Vaidya
Status: Transferred from RAW – Declassified.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MCMMwLUMV
Yuvaan’s breath hitched.

FLASHBACK – 7 Years Ago, RAW Training Facility – Somewhere in the snowy silence of Himachal
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd00LlF5GR
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."

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSQ2KRtADz
All eyes turned toward a younger, sharper Yuvaan.

Back to Present
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGUlq3BJmV
The memory sliced through him.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qmbqevJw7
“They lied to me… Vaidya wasn’t just a psychiatrist. He was RAW’s top-level memory architect. But why hide it from me?”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6EXzPRolR
His eyes scanned the next page. A blurred photograph… the silhouette of a woman.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnqFNW5czC
Caption:
Subject: Kiara Fernandes
Phase 2 Test: FAILED
Status: MISSING
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqImMs0r99v
The file slipped from his trembling hands.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZvYjeYWwT
“Kiara… she was a test subject?”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoTn33B5Ee
The girl he was hunting… was part of Trident?

CBI Cafeteria – 2:30 AM
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TJ5rvfjJX
He sat alone with a bitter cup of coffee. Nearby, two senior officers murmured in hushed tones.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwYHUN5gql
> “That new guy opened the TRIDENT file?”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJ01i2Q6ml
“The one Dr. Vaidya had sealed himself?”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS69zFLKLuW
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYGHCiX0ST
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLKCiWmI5o
Yuvaan’s ears caught every word. But before he could process it, one name echoed inside his head like a thunderclap—
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFkkBHCxYH
“Vikrant.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRBP7eZcDL
He stood up, left the cup untouched, and vanished into the misty streets of Mumbai.

Cut To: A Forgotten Alley in Ghatkopar
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEDuQJlax4
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MaOhaRzy5
Inside, a man sat with his back turned.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjFHx6XBCW
> “Still alive, are you?”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UAH5USqQs
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3XCGKVH6Q
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfWIuz9bZN
He turned.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbxz67maXf
Vikrant.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvAaxiiqzN
There was fear in his eyes. But respect too.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkBHpAVzFS
> “Yuvaan bhai… they said you were dead.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNwbsa1CNS
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkncyqPip5
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIiJitMq9k
Yuvaan walked up, placed his palm firmly on the table.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaeDZa8azt
> “I’m looking for a girl. I don’t know her name. Only a butterfly tattoo on her wrist.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXAVqVRJBU
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUTgX5nqOR
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N8X0evg99
Vikrant didn’t ask questions. He typed.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGY1yEThlV
The screen flickered, then stopped.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCvikIOWtA
Name: Kiara Fernandes
Status: MISSING since 2017.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZnSbrMAHm
Yuvaan’s expression froze.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Nf1RenSOZ
> “She wasn’t just made to disappear, Vikrant… someone erased her existence. Like she was never real to begin with.”

Teaser End Scene
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHiMwhoEev
Back at the CBI.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pKDuiHkxV
Late night. Everyone gone.
Yuvaan flips through another file. Suddenly, a holographic projector sparks to life.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdSHqdsdez
Mr. Vaidya’s digital visage appears.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PGypehcZS
> “If you're seeing this, Yuvaan… it means you're either hiding… or you’re too close to the truth to survive much longer.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY81m2P0RP
In TRIDENT, we don’t just play with minds…
We sacrifice memories.”
Yuvaan doesn’t flinch.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGV0h0PEPma
Then I’ll remember for them all.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8S0zSusM0U
FADE OUT.
The bloodstains are old. But the wings still carry their story.
