Avrodh the Siege Within (2020–…): Season 2, Episode 5 - A risk worth taking - full transcript
Waziri and Aziz ready the counterfeits that are to be sent across via the different borders into India. At the Kotla Camp, Zafar and Mujeed, along with 12 other mercenaries dressed as shepherds, begin their journey. Pradeep learns...
Aah. Four Sri Lankan mountaineers
lost their lives on our mountains.
[Aziz] ‘We are returning...’
...these bodies
with due respect.
Not bad.
Lucky men.
They get to be weapons for
the destruction of India.
It’s imperative that India stays
oblivious to this money, Waziri.
Aziz, when 25 planes will explode
together in their country...
...dare they look elsewhere.
All we need, is for
Zafar to reach them.
[Title Montage]
[sheep bleating]
Come, Zafar.
[phone pings]
[Pradeep] ‘Shit.’
They are on the move.
- Papa 4, connect me to Alpha.
- Sir.
[Papa 4] ‘Papa to Alpha.’
Sir.
Go for Alpha.
Sir.
The target is moving North
from Kotla.
How many bandits, Papa 1?
[Pradeep] ‘Couldn't get
a clear count.’
But as per the message,
they must be eight to ten people.
Copy.
Team, on alert.
All chances of
engagement tonight.
[Commandos] ‘Sir.’
- Sir.
- Yes.
[Shailesh] ‘Officers, the time has
come to set the record straight.’
Tonight is going to be
a long night for our soldiers.
[Shailesh] ‘But they
are not alone.’
‘We are going to be there
with our boys today.’
‘We set out
one Samjhauta Express.’
We exchanged a few prisoners
of war at the Wagah border.
And Pakistan has
begun to believe...
...that the LOC is their
personal property.
[Shailesh] ‘They think
they can come here...’
‘...for a stroll as they wish.’
‘Today,
they are sending Zafar Hamidi.’
‘Tomorrow, this Mujeed Josh
will bring someone else.’
‘But we must stop this.’
‘Now.’
We will stop this vermin
from entering our country.
[owl hooting]
[Mujeed] ‘The route is clear.’
Six men will go towards Moriyan,
- this way.
- [Men] Yes, Sir.
And the others, will come along
with me towards Feelan.
[Men] Okay, sir.
Two at the front, three behind.
Then, Zafar and I.
Asgar, you give us cover
from behind.
[Asgar] ‘Okay, sir.’
Let's go.
Come, Zafar.
Alpha 4, thermal check.
[Alpha 4] ‘Confirming
human presence, sir.’
‘Unable to get
the exact number.’
But they are moving,
hidden behind trees.
[Imtiaz] ‘One, two, three...’
‘Six.’
Six hostiles in sight.
Alpha to Papa, come in.
Papa here.
We have visual.
Six hostiles in sight.
Provide backup.
Not sure, Captain.
[Pradeep] ‘The intel was
of eight to ten people.’
Team Papa will hold
position here.
What the hell, Captain.
They are coming from here.
[Imtiaz] ‘Are you already
chickening out?’
Not the one to chicken out.
Okay.
Team Papa,
moving to back-up position.
[leaves crackling]
Hold.
- Papa 6, thermal check.
- [Papa 6] ‘Sir.’
[Papa 6] ‘Two hostiles, sir.’
Okay.
Papa to Alpha.
[Pradeep] ‘Looks like you'll have
to handle there, Captain.’
There are other guests here.
Get your gut insured, Captain.
Over.
- Team Papa.
- Sir.
Game on.
[Pradeep] ‘Let's see...’
...if our target
is with these rascals.
Move.
[distant gunfire]
- Captain.
- [Farooq] ‘Yes, Mujeed.’
We can hear
firing from Moriyan.
Should we return?
Absolutely not.
[gunfire]
[grenade blasts]
Go for grenades.
[grenade blasts]
[grenade blasts]
Alpha 4 and 5, you're with me?
[Imtiaz] ‘Move. Move.’
- Sir.
- Move. Move.
[Imtiaz] ‘Hostiles down.’
‘All hostiles facing
team Alpha are down.’
Is the bomb-maker there?
Is Zafar Hamidi
among your hostiles?
Alpha 5, check for target.
[Mujeed] ‘The firing seems to
have stopped, Sir.’
Keep moving ahead.
Don't even think of returning,
Mujeed.
Okay.
[Imtiaz] ‘Negative.’
Zafar Hamidi is not here.
What if there is a unit here too?
Nothing will happen, Zafar.
Trust me.
[Mujeed] ‘Come on.’
[Pradeep] Down.
[Pradeep] Move. Move.
- Papa 4.
- Sir.
First two are yours.
[gunshot]
Sir, one hostile is
trying to escape.
Go get him.
You rascal.
[Pradeep] ‘Team Papa,
open fire.’
[gunshots]
These rascals have spread out
everywhere, Mujeed
[distant gunfire continues]
We must go southward.
We can evade them
by taking a longer route.
When the firing stops,
they'll think there is no
one left in this area.
[Mujeed] ‘Come on.
Come on, Zafar.’
Come on.
Three hostiles are running
towards south.
Papa 6 and I
will go towards south.
- Yes, sir.
- Go.
[Pradeep] ‘Team,
Zafar Hamidi is here.’
‘Let’s try to get him alive.’
[Vaidya] ‘Captain Imtiaz,’
‘Team Papa has spotted
Zafar and Mujeed.’
They are entering
through a long route.
They won't be able to enter, sir.
Moving to back up Team Papa.
[Papa 2] Captain, two hostiles are
moving south, towards you.
Two of you move
to south in pursuit.
It'll be impossible stay undetected
once the sun starts rising, Mujeed.
Sir,
I think we should engage.
Not yet.
If they realise we
are here,
they will return.
[Mujeed] Just 10 more minutes.
[Mujeed] ‘Then we’ll be across
the border.’
[Mujeed] ‘We haven't been
caught yet.’
‘Clearly, God's mercy is on us,
not on them.’
[Pradeep] Down.
[Pradeep] Hold.
[Alpha 4] Sir,
spotted five hostiles.
Engage now...
No! No, Captain!
[Pradeep] ‘Don't fire!
Don’t shoot.’
[Pradeep] F**k.
What the hell, Captain.
[Pradeep] ‘We were waiting
in ambush.’
[Pradeep] ‘We were waiting
for them to come further.’
Follow them.
[Pradeep] Move, move.
Sir, move back.
- Come on, run.
- Run.
Move back.
We are returning.
[Mujeed] The firing must not stop.
[Pradeep] ‘Keep firing.’
Grenade alert
Sorry, man.
Didn't know you had eyes on them.
It’s okay.
Now, the winner will be the one
with the more bullets.
Not one to
chicken out either, Captain.
- Move. Move.
- Go! Go.
[Mujeed] Down.
[Mujeed] Fire!
[Mujeed] ‘Captain, they have
surrounded us from all sides.’
[Farooq] We had checked
the whole area.
How did these
infidels appear?
There is no other option.
We are between Feelan and Dobang.
[Mujeed] ‘Please hurry up.’
Keep firing.
And, they should not get Zafar
at any cost.
Got it.
- Captain, there's a risky idea.
- Yes.
How risky is it, Captain?
It's a gut feeling.
Then I’ve got no choice.
Tell me.
What if we cut a long arc and
reach behind them?
Won’t we be spotted?
Are you sure?
Yes, maybe.
But, we can’t keep
sitting here, right?
For your first mission, Captain,
you’re thinking quite wild.
Well. It looks like
your gut is our hope today.
I’ll inform Echo?
Right.
Come in, Echo.
We have them pinned down around...
..200 metres on their
side of the LOC.
[Pradeep] ‘Sir, we really can
ambush them from behind.’
Captain, Shailesh here.
You have 10 minutes, go get him.
Just a minute, Shailesh!
If our troops cross the LOC,
we'll have
a lot of explanation to do.
It's just 200 metres.
I'll handle it, Satish.
They want a fight.
We'll take the fight to them.
I'm coming with you, Pradeep.
Right.
Give us cover.
Roger, sir.
[gunfire continues]
[Pradeep] ‘Down, get down.’
They’ve come on
our side as well.
- Zafar, run.
- Run? Where?
We’ve been surrounded
on all sides, Mujeed.
Go hide under the tree,
run away.
Go. Go, Zafar.
I'm here.
[grenade blasts]
Stop, Zafar.
Why do you want to die?
[Pradeep] ‘Surrender.’
[gunshot]
[Pradeep] ‘Move.’
[Pradeep] ‘Check him.’
‘Is he alive?’
[Imtiaz] ‘Convey to Echo.’
Target down.
I repeat, target down.
F**k!
[Shailesh] It would have been
better if he was caught alive.
[Shailesh] Anyway, search him.
Let’s see what we find.
General,
please congratulate the teams.
[Vaidya] ‘Sure, sir.’
Thank you, Sir.
- Well done.
- Thank you.
Sir, there is good news.
We stopped that bomb-maker,
Zafar Hamidi,
and his 13 comrades
from infiltrating.
Unfortunately, sir, he was killed
during the engagement.
[Shailesh] ‘There was no
other way to stop him.’
But we've found a backpack on him.
We are investigating.
- Mahadevanji.
- Sir.
Give a statement to the media.
Let’s honour all teams
that worked...
...on this operation.
Excuse me, sir.
[Satish] ‘There is one thing.’
This will give them a new angle
to criticize us.
Sir, to get him, our team
had to cross the LOC.
Not much, a few metres.
It doesn’t matter.
Let the enemy criticize.
Firstly, they will have to tell
the world...
...what those 14 people
were doing at the LOC.
If they cannot answer that...
...then they won't ask
any questions either.
[Pakistani newsreader]
‘The Indian embassy..’
‘...has claimed that
this morning...’
‘...they have killed
14 militants near Kotla.’
They claim that
dangerous explosive expert,
Zafar Hamidi,
was among them.
They once again
are pointing fingers...
[Pakistani newsreader]
‘...at Pakistan.’
Let bygones be bygones.
It will be pointless to cast blame.
I've got him transferred already.
[Waziri] I had told you, Aziz.
I know, Waziri.
But he has accomplished
several infiltrations in the past.
It was a routine job for him.
That's why I gave him
this responsibility.
[Waziri] ‘And because
of his recklessness...’
...my whole plan
has gone off its track.
[Aziz] ‘No matter
how strong the motive is...’
...it always succumbs
to fate.
[Aziz] ‘Maybe, time
is not in our favour.’
We will have to seize time, Aziz.
This Farooq of yours, has already
ruined stage one of my plan.
Now, we have to find another way
to mislead the Indians.
But if you really want the
fireworks of 6th December...
...then all my money..
...must reach India as planned.
It will.
And Aziz,
I don't want his shadow there.
[Aziz] ‘Go.’
[phone beeps]
- Look at him. Busy oh his phone.
- Yes.
He is so happy.
- Brother, we're all right here...
- Who are you talking to?
I disconnected it.
[CO Sharma] What the
hell was that, Pradeep?
- Sir.
- Sir.
I told you, no unnecessary risks.
Sir, just a calculated risk.
Nothing else.
Pradeep, no part
of this risk was calculated.
And I'm glad that
I never had a Captain like him.
Next time, I'll think hard...
..before sending you on
a field operation.
But thank you, sir.
[Narayan] ‘Sir.’
Captain Narayan, what's the news?
Sir, we've found...
[Narayan] ‘..some technical manuals
from Zafar Hamidi’s backpack.’
‘Manuals
of Masashi laser printers.’
There are portions marked
that explain the technique...
...of opening the toner and
the cartridges.
Interestingly, he had also made
a cheat sheet.
[Narayan] ‘To keep the logic board
of a mobile phone active..’
..by connecting it to the
circuitory of the printer.
[Narayan] ‘And in such a way
that no one can find out.’
Not even if the printers are
checked or even scanned.
What does that mean?
Well, in simple terms,
after this modification...
...a charge can be sent
to these printers...
...through a mobile call.
Such a charge is used
to detonate explosives.
Sir.
You remember, Razzak had
given us information...
...that the JUM was
purchasing old burner phones?
Yes.
The pieces seem to be falling
in place now, sir.
It's good that we got him.
Well done.
- Sir.
- [Imtiaz] ‘Sir.’
Next time, no risks.
Yes, sir.
[Theme Music Playing]
