Nighttime. Mumbai. Somewhere within the cold, bureaucratic walls of the CBI Headquarters…
324Please respect copyright.PENANAzJ3GdUNWj5
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.
324Please respect copyright.PENANAYGP4ZSG1W4
On his desk lay a half-burnt file—its cover nearly illegible, but the faded title struck like lightning:
324Please respect copyright.PENANAqwce6TfYIZ
“PROJECT TRIDENT – Level 9: RESTRICTED.”
324Please respect copyright.PENANAAX7GAb3jDS
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.
324Please respect copyright.PENANAHvaemZC52A
As Yuvaan’s fingers grazed the charred cover, a sudden chill ran down his spine.
324Please respect copyright.PENANAMfO1nuotb3
“Trident… where have I heard that before?”
324Please respect copyright.PENANAGchFXRqSHa
He opened the file.
First Page:
Operative: Vaidya
Status: Transferred from RAW – Declassified.
324Please respect copyright.PENANARX7bBte3XC
Yuvaan’s breath hitched.

FLASHBACK – 7 Years Ago, RAW Training Facility – Somewhere in the snowy silence of Himachal
324Please respect copyright.PENANAXc120s1eCZ
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.
324Please respect copyright.PENANAX6elB4vCLB
> "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."
324Please respect copyright.PENANAvhnJ6aqDBV
324Please respect copyright.PENANAsjMi1wv73W
324Please respect copyright.PENANAyncLUNAGPj
All eyes turned toward a younger, sharper Yuvaan.

Back to Present
324Please respect copyright.PENANAxYNObBstlp
The memory sliced through him.
324Please respect copyright.PENANAN1ASH2RfW7
“They lied to me… Vaidya wasn’t just a psychiatrist. He was RAW’s top-level memory architect. But why hide it from me?”
324Please respect copyright.PENANAzwwHzuxtN9
His eyes scanned the next page. A blurred photograph… the silhouette of a woman.
324Please respect copyright.PENANAD4gWqg0Pxd
Caption:
Subject: Kiara Fernandes
Phase 2 Test: FAILED
Status: MISSING
324Please respect copyright.PENANACLiDExWukn
The file slipped from his trembling hands.
324Please respect copyright.PENANAhm7UDzOZ5T
“Kiara… she was a test subject?”
324Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZmD9YWQ2e
The girl he was hunting… was part of Trident?

CBI Cafeteria – 2:30 AM
324Please respect copyright.PENANAc6oQ5Sbfnt
He sat alone with a bitter cup of coffee. Nearby, two senior officers murmured in hushed tones.
324Please respect copyright.PENANAZbW2NkUVfR
> “That new guy opened the TRIDENT file?”
324Please respect copyright.PENANAsq3cbpHMqf
“The one Dr. Vaidya had sealed himself?”
324Please respect copyright.PENANAmjiJWtpf2Z
324Please respect copyright.PENANAZttIxMg2Tz
324Please respect copyright.PENANAooiwSOUEmT
Yuvaan’s ears caught every word. But before he could process it, one name echoed inside his head like a thunderclap—
324Please respect copyright.PENANA4NWLz02JER
“Vikrant.”
324Please respect copyright.PENANAck1ZMens5i
He stood up, left the cup untouched, and vanished into the misty streets of Mumbai.

Cut To: A Forgotten Alley in Ghatkopar
324Please respect copyright.PENANAAP2GEVTpkJ
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.
324Please respect copyright.PENANAa0OPyfoehc
Inside, a man sat with his back turned.
324Please respect copyright.PENANAPsHWHZy37R
> “Still alive, are you?”
324Please respect copyright.PENANAkJ7uwmCDXL
324Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2vQMn5hh3
324Please respect copyright.PENANAw3tTdfIEeg
He turned.
324Please respect copyright.PENANAJ75ALpjpRv
Vikrant.
324Please respect copyright.PENANAowYFPp1SiM
There was fear in his eyes. But respect too.
324Please respect copyright.PENANAz52RCWEIp4
> “Yuvaan bhai… they said you were dead.”
324Please respect copyright.PENANATxu9nf5dJ0
324Please respect copyright.PENANAqEyyq8vlvc
324Please respect copyright.PENANA4DmMsoK8jt
Yuvaan walked up, placed his palm firmly on the table.
324Please respect copyright.PENANAfu64CI8b1p
> “I’m looking for a girl. I don’t know her name. Only a butterfly tattoo on her wrist.”
324Please respect copyright.PENANA1LdNUKFEwK
324Please respect copyright.PENANALTvR4FqhQW
324Please respect copyright.PENANArJrTimDhIN
Vikrant didn’t ask questions. He typed.
324Please respect copyright.PENANAP20pitZ86M
The screen flickered, then stopped.
324Please respect copyright.PENANA9Pk0ZeDrEp
Name: Kiara Fernandes
Status: MISSING since 2017.
324Please respect copyright.PENANACqeobGVWgV
Yuvaan’s expression froze.
324Please respect copyright.PENANAFBnAkMguev
> “She wasn’t just made to disappear, Vikrant… someone erased her existence. Like she was never real to begin with.”

Teaser End Scene
324Please respect copyright.PENANA9AsG6DKA7O
Back at the CBI.
324Please respect copyright.PENANAS0C7046aYN
Late night. Everyone gone.
Yuvaan flips through another file. Suddenly, a holographic projector sparks to life.
324Please respect copyright.PENANAkTbTtiNRkO
Mr. Vaidya’s digital visage appears.
324Please respect copyright.PENANAX4bMMIrWw7
> “If you're seeing this, Yuvaan… it means you're either hiding… or you’re too close to the truth to survive much longer.
324Please respect copyright.PENANAW6fyPukt2v
In TRIDENT, we don’t just play with minds…
We sacrifice memories.”
Yuvaan doesn’t flinch.
324Please respect copyright.PENANAORqnprhXar
Then I’ll remember for them all.”
324Please respect copyright.PENANA51odLj9hMa
FADE OUT.
The bloodstains are old. But the wings still carry their story.
