Title: "Three Calls, One Squad"

Runtime Equivalent: 45–50 minutes (TV-style pacing)

---

OPENING SCENE: THE MINISTRY ORDER

Interior – Mumbai Police Headquarters – Conference Room – Morning

The episode opens with a silent, tense room. Key officers sit at a long table — Ministers, senior bureaucrats, and city officials. At the head, sits A.C.P. Sulaiman Qazi, now clean-shaven, suit-clad, and calm as ever.

A Ministry of Defence officer speaks:

"By central order, the task unit 'Black Squad' is now elevated to an official department under the Internal Affairs Division. All members are reinstated with full honours."

A round of firm claps echoes.

Imran Wani and Arjun Rathore are called forward.

"Imran Wani, you are hereby promoted to Senior Inspector – Psychological Crimes Division."

"Arjun Rathore, promoted to Senior Inspector – Tactical Response."

They salute Qazi.

He looks at them both and says:

"This city doesn't need heroes. It needs guardians. Be that."

Suddenly, a triple-call alert flashes on the main screen — three emergency reports come in simultaneously.

CASE 1: "THE ELEVATOR"

Scene Location: Lower Parel – Corporate Tower – 9:32 AM

A woman is found dead inside an office elevator, strangled, but security footage shows no one entering or exiting with her. It's packed with employees during rush hour — but nobody saw anything.

Reet Sharma and Imran arrive. Imran's observation: the woman was already unconscious before the elevator ride began. He notices a puncture wound on her neck, a rare tranquilizer used by zookeepers.

They pull records: She was a whistleblower from a pharma company.

In a daring office chase, Arjun tackles a suited man who tries escaping from the HR floor. He confesses — they silenced her before she could leak a contamination cover-up.

Case solved: A crime hidden in plain sight, cracked by deduction and swift reaction.

CASE 2: "THE BRIDE WHO VANISHED"

Scene Location: Andheri East – Wedding Banquet – 1:00 PM

The team is called when a bride disappears mid-ceremony, right after exchanging garlands. CCTV shows her stepping into the bridal room — and never coming out.

Zoya leads the investigation. Interviews reveal pressure from the groom's family, but the bride's younger brother admits she was getting threatening messages all week.

Arjun traces the phone pings to a nearby guesthouse, where they find her — bruised but alive. She faked the disappearance to escape forced marriage arranged for dowry reasons and was aided by her ex-boyfriend. But then she changed her mind… and he locked her in.

The team arrests the boyfriend, who crossed a line, and also books the groom's family for coercion and harassment.

Case closed: A layered story of love, pressure, and poor decisions.

CASE 3: "THE MASKED MAN'S GAME"

Scene Location: Colaba – Art Gallery – 5:15 PM

During a live exhibition, a masked man triggers panic by announcing a bomb threat hidden in a sculpture.

Black Squad races in. The man says he'll give a clue every 10 minutes — like a twisted game.

Qazi leads the negotiation, calm and intimidating. Reet isolates the source of the call — it's not the masked man at all, but someone feeding instructions into his earpiece.

It's a psych experiment — a real psychiatrist manipulating an unstable patient as a "live experiment."

The team isolates the signal source, finds the real culprit in a van outside broadcasting from VR goggles.

Arjun diffuses the fake bomb, and Zoya slaps the psychiatrist:

"You played God. We're here to bring justice, not games."

Case resolved: Mental manipulation turned real threat.

ENDING SCENE: BLACK SQUAD HQ – NIGHT

Back at HQ, the new Black Squad Department Office is unveiled — a sleek, high-tech facility built inside the old crime branch wing.

Everyone gathers — Reet sets up the system, Shlok loads tactical gear, and Qazi walks in with tea in hand.

Qazi:

"Tomorrow, it'll be a new case. But today, you earned your ranks… and your place in history."

The camera slowly pans across the team — the new Black Squad, stronger than ever.

Fade out.
