Opening Scene: Black Squad on the Run
The episode opens with ACP Sulaiman Qazi, Imran Wani, and Arjun Rathore in a safe house, treating their wounds.
Imran cleans ACP Qazi's bullet wound.
Arjun loads weapons, checking their remaining ammo.
The news plays on a small TV—Black Squad is officially labeled as "rogue officers."
The government has issued suspension orders, claiming the unit acted against protocol.
DCP Shamsher Singh and SSP Ishan appear in a press conference.
DCP Shamsher Singh (sternly):
"Black Squad is no longer a legal task force. They are under investigation for misconduct. Any officer found assisting them will be punished."
The media paints them as criminals.
Arjun (furious):
"They want to erase us completely."
ACP Qazi (calm but firm):
"Then we expose the truth before they bury it."
The squad must uncover who orchestrated this conspiracy and why.

Tracking the Mastermind
Imran hacks into the police database to find leads.
The man behind their ambush (masked figure) is classified.
However, a hidden document surfaces—labeled "Operation Erasure."
It mentions a secret meeting between high-ranking government officials and an unknown private military company.
ACP Qazi:
"Whoever they are, they have power beyond the law."
Their only chance is to track down someone who attended that meeting.
A name pops up: "Rakesh Nanda"—a government informant who might know everything.

The Chase Begins: Kidnapping the Informant
Rakesh Nanda is guarded by undercover agents at a luxury hotel.
Imran and Arjun pose as room service to infiltrate.
ACP Qazi waits outside in a stolen car, ready for extraction.
They silently eliminate two guards and grab Rakesh.
Rakesh (panicking):
"I don't know anything! Please!"
Imran presses a gun to his temple.
Imran (coldly):
"Wrong answer. Start talking."
Rakesh confesses.
The government wants Black Squad erased because they know too much.
A billion-dollar arms deal is being covered up, and Black Squad's investigations unknowingly got too close.
The man in the mask? He is "Colonel Viraj Kapoor"—a former military officer now running a private hit squad.

Government Retaliation: The Betrayal
As the squad drives away with Rakesh, their car is suddenly hit by a missile.
The vehicle flips over, crashing into a warehouse.
Black Squad crawls out, wounded.
Dozens of mercenaries led by Colonel Viraj Kapoor surround them.
Colonel Kapoor (smirking):
"Did you really think you could outrun the system?"
A brutal gunfight erupts.
Arjun uses a sniper rifle from the wreckage, taking down multiple enemies.
Imran fights close combat, using a knife and pistol in deadly precision.
ACP Qazi, despite his injuries, holds off enemies using a shotgun.
During the chaos, Rakesh Nanda is shot dead—eliminating their only witness.
ACP Qazi (gritted teeth):
"We need to get out NOW!"
The squad escapes by hijacking a government helicopter, barely making it out alive.

Final Scene: The System Fights Back
As they fly away, ACP Qazi looks at Mumbai below.
They are officially fugitives.
They have no backup, no authority, and no safe place.
The government and mercenaries are now hunting them.
But they still have one last hope—finding Colonel Viraj Kapoor's secret files and exposing the truth.
Arjun (reloading his gun):
"This isn't just survival anymore."
Imran (coldly):
"This is war."
ACP Qazi (determined):
"Then let's win."
FADE TO BLACK.
