Opening Scene: The Aftermath
The episode begins inside an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of Mumbai.
Black Squad—ACP Sulaiman Qazi, Imran Wani, and Arjun Rathore—are recovering from their last battle.
The helicopter they hijacked is hidden, but the city is on high alert.
Mumbai police and special forces are hunting them like criminals.
On a makeshift table, Arjun stitches a deep wound on his shoulder.
Imran (gritting his teeth as he checks his bruises):
"We're running out of time, sir. Colonel Kapoor will come again."
ACP Qazi (focused, looking at a map of Mumbai):
"Then we take the fight to him before he finds us."
Imran hacks into a restricted government server, searching for Kapoor's operations.
He finds a lead—a hidden Black Site near the Mumbai docks.
It's being used to smuggle weapons and erase anyone who knows too much.
Arjun (cocking his gun):
"Then let's make sure we're the last ones standing."

Scene 2: The Black Site Heist
Time: 2:00 AM
Location: Mumbai Docks
The squad moves silently through the shipping containers.
Imran scans for security cameras, disabling them remotely.
Arjun plants explosives at key points, setting up a trap.
ACP Qazi leads them into the main building, where a group of men are discussing their next hit.
Inside, they spot Colonel Viraj Kapoor's lieutenant—Major Abhay Rana.
Major Rana (talking to his men):
"The higher-ups want Black Squad eliminated. Kapoor is already preparing the final phase."
ACP Qazi (whispers to Arjun):
"We need him alive."
Suddenly, a guard notices a shadow and raises his weapon.
Before he can speak, Arjun slits his throat, catching his body.
The silence is broken when another guard spots the blood and yells.
GUNFIRE ERUPTS.
Imran moves with precision, taking cover behind steel crates and firing controlled shots.
ACP Qazi fights hand-to-hand with an attacker, breaking his arm and using his own gun to eliminate two more enemies.
Arjun clears a stairway using his tactical knife and a silenced pistol.
Major Rana tries to escape, but Imran shoots him in the leg, bringing him down.
ACP Qazi (grabbing him by the collar):
"Where is Kapoor?"
Major Rana (choking in pain):
"Too late… He's already meeting them… the deal is happening… tonight… in Bandra…"
Before he can reveal more, a sniper bullet pierces his skull.
The squad takes cover immediately.
Imran (checking his thermal scanner):
"Sniper—200 meters east, on the crane!"
Arjun spins, fires one clean shot, and takes the sniper down.
ACP Qazi (to the team):
"We move. Now."
Before leaving, Imran sets off the explosives—destroying the entire black site.

Scene 3: Bandra—The Final Move
The squad races against time.
Colonel Kapoor is meeting his government contacts to finalize their deal.
The location is a high-security private club, filled with mercenaries.
Plan:
1. Arjun infiltrates from the rooftop.
2. Imran cuts the power, creating chaos.
3. ACP Qazi moves in to take down Kapoor.
At 3:30 AM, they strike.
Arjun rappels down, eliminating rooftop guards.
Imran hacks into the building's mainframe, shutting off lights and triggering alarms.
ACP Qazi enters through the back, using smoke grenades for cover.
Inside, Colonel Kapoor realizes it's a trap.
Kapoor (grinning as he takes out his gun):
"I knew you'd come, Qazi."
A brutal hand-to-hand fight begins.
Kapoor is a former military officer, skilled in combat.
He lands a heavy punch, knocking ACP Qazi back.
Qazi counters, breaking Kapoor's wrist, forcing him to drop his gun.
Meanwhile, Arjun and Imran take out the last of the mercenaries.
As Kapoor tries to crawl away, ACP Qazi points his gun at him.
ACP Qazi (breathing heavily):
"The only way this ends is with you behind bars… or in the ground."
Kapoor (smirking, pressing a hidden detonator):
"Then let's all burn together."
EXPLOSIONS DETONATE.
The entire building starts collapsing.
Black Squad barely escapes, jumping into the sea as the club is reduced to rubble.

Final Scene: The Aftermath
Kapoor's body is never found.
The media reports a "mysterious explosion" in Bandra.
The government issues a final order: Black Squad is to be arrested on sight.
ACP Qazi (watching the city from a distance):
"We exposed part of the truth. But the system is still protecting its own."
Imran (loading a fresh magazine):
"Then we keep fighting until we burn it all down."
Arjun (nodding):
"Next time, no survivors."
FADE TO BLACK.
