Nighttime. Mumbai. Somewhere within the cold, bureaucratic walls of the CBI Headquarters…
34Please respect copyright.PENANAey0guBj6vs
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.
34Please respect copyright.PENANAm1iwRq3H3R
On his desk lay a half-burnt file—its cover nearly illegible, but the faded title struck like lightning:
34Please respect copyright.PENANAvX65B4IrQM
“PROJECT TRIDENT – Level 9: RESTRICTED.”
34Please respect copyright.PENANAhGtGxatTv7
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.
34Please respect copyright.PENANAvPTyvIfehu
As Yuvaan’s fingers grazed the charred cover, a sudden chill ran down his spine.
34Please respect copyright.PENANAaQlRIRbK2g
“Trident… where have I heard that before?”
34Please respect copyright.PENANAI6mPkXZ2ne
He opened the file.
First Page:
Operative: Vaidya
Status: Transferred from RAW – Declassified.
34Please respect copyright.PENANAskZCUuVkcj
Yuvaan’s breath hitched.

FLASHBACK – 7 Years Ago, RAW Training Facility – Somewhere in the snowy silence of Himachal
34Please respect copyright.PENANAkCRRfK1fEO
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.
34Please respect copyright.PENANATt8LX4HKWr
> "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."
34Please respect copyright.PENANA1jysExdGcC
34Please respect copyright.PENANAj5UDSOqurM
34Please respect copyright.PENANAXA7uh70pba
All eyes turned toward a younger, sharper Yuvaan.

Back to Present
34Please respect copyright.PENANAXc1yTsmWZT
The memory sliced through him.
34Please respect copyright.PENANAW8h3ArJwiz
“They lied to me… Vaidya wasn’t just a psychiatrist. He was RAW’s top-level memory architect. But why hide it from me?”
34Please respect copyright.PENANALdbfDmVW0z
His eyes scanned the next page. A blurred photograph… the silhouette of a woman.
34Please respect copyright.PENANASqD46jru9V
Caption:
Subject: Kiara Fernandes
Phase 2 Test: FAILED
Status: MISSING
34Please respect copyright.PENANAfFJ1YtZQDp
The file slipped from his trembling hands.
34Please respect copyright.PENANAB9K6ugwSbo
“Kiara… she was a test subject?”
34Please respect copyright.PENANACh2uvXv7Z9
The girl he was hunting… was part of Trident?

CBI Cafeteria – 2:30 AM
34Please respect copyright.PENANAcL9RKbPeGm
He sat alone with a bitter cup of coffee. Nearby, two senior officers murmured in hushed tones.
34Please respect copyright.PENANAfzuc77rBFI
> “That new guy opened the TRIDENT file?”
34Please respect copyright.PENANAAYyZxUs4u1
“The one Dr. Vaidya had sealed himself?”
34Please respect copyright.PENANAZgM0l346dz
34Please respect copyright.PENANA7n1GOxePqy
34Please respect copyright.PENANAZYVl208bV0
Yuvaan’s ears caught every word. But before he could process it, one name echoed inside his head like a thunderclap—
34Please respect copyright.PENANAzZVHW3qdVv
“Vikrant.”
34Please respect copyright.PENANApt8zxsDUvo
He stood up, left the cup untouched, and vanished into the misty streets of Mumbai.

Cut To: A Forgotten Alley in Ghatkopar
34Please respect copyright.PENANAqEenMnpN6P
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.
34Please respect copyright.PENANAGWZCxLrZFk
Inside, a man sat with his back turned.
34Please respect copyright.PENANAqKViqTYMPd
> “Still alive, are you?”
34Please respect copyright.PENANAq1QhqFlqqA
34Please respect copyright.PENANAXbgZQfWek6
34Please respect copyright.PENANAooIRTXMWcY
He turned.
34Please respect copyright.PENANA6G5aXUaDxM
Vikrant.
34Please respect copyright.PENANATBKW4wIUoP
There was fear in his eyes. But respect too.
34Please respect copyright.PENANAVvXEJPnW90
> “Yuvaan bhai… they said you were dead.”
34Please respect copyright.PENANAR91QdBkpna
34Please respect copyright.PENANAMO5pig7lOs
34Please respect copyright.PENANArb46ghRTRb
Yuvaan walked up, placed his palm firmly on the table.
34Please respect copyright.PENANAjzemHvNeUO
> “I’m looking for a girl. I don’t know her name. Only a butterfly tattoo on her wrist.”
34Please respect copyright.PENANAFgcGtPEO1I
34Please respect copyright.PENANAS2KjznF0Fp
34Please respect copyright.PENANA4i47qCeLAV
Vikrant didn’t ask questions. He typed.
34Please respect copyright.PENANAMvEv5CJTvo
The screen flickered, then stopped.
34Please respect copyright.PENANATgbQdDYJtr
Name: Kiara Fernandes
Status: MISSING since 2017.
34Please respect copyright.PENANA3q3JtD2cTa
Yuvaan’s expression froze.
34Please respect copyright.PENANASWe3pSbVGl
> “She wasn’t just made to disappear, Vikrant… someone erased her existence. Like she was never real to begin with.”

Teaser End Scene
34Please respect copyright.PENANAO6k7I1mH1P
Back at the CBI.
34Please respect copyright.PENANAfCTlutJSKv
Late night. Everyone gone.
Yuvaan flips through another file. Suddenly, a holographic projector sparks to life.
34Please respect copyright.PENANAVsNu2ysdGE
Mr. Vaidya’s digital visage appears.
34Please respect copyright.PENANASjFnofGs6t
> “If you're seeing this, Yuvaan… it means you're either hiding… or you’re too close to the truth to survive much longer.
34Please respect copyright.PENANAxyTfV7Wg2L
In TRIDENT, we don’t just play with minds…
We sacrifice memories.”
Yuvaan doesn’t flinch.
34Please respect copyright.PENANAOBM3vzX8rD
Then I’ll remember for them all.”
34Please respect copyright.PENANAtNZpVLRDie
FADE OUT.
The bloodstains are old. But the wings still carry their story.
