### **BLACK SQUAD: EPISODE 138 — "The Silent Broadcast"**
---
#### **SCENE 1 — THE BLACKOUT**
**EXT. MUMBAI – CITYSCAPE — NIGHT**
*Visuals & Setting:*
The episode begins with a sweeping aerial shot of Mumbai as it plunges into total darkness. The hum of the bustling city abruptly dies, replaced by a ghostly silence. Traffic grinds to a halt; people spill onto the streets, confused. Then, a distorted, eerie voice breaks through on all radio frequencies, hijacking every device:
**VOICE (distorted, malevolent):**
*"The first of many. Let the world see the cost of secrets."*
A chilling scream echoes through the broadcast, followed by a live sound of gunfire. The camera zooms in on ACP Vijay Kumar standing in Black Squad's operations van, his face illuminated by the dim glow of a backup power system.
**ACP VIJAY KUMAR (to the team):**
*"This isn't a coincidence. Find the source of the broadcast. Now."*
The core team—Imran, Arjun, Zoya, Shreya, and Dr. Gupta—springs into action, fully aware that they're on borrowed time.

#### **SCENE 2 — A DEADLY GAME**
**INT. BLACK SQUAD BUREAU — TEMPORARY COMMAND CENTER**
*Setting:*
With the city in chaos, the Black Squad has established a temporary command center. Shreya is working furiously to analyze the broadcast signal, while Imran and Arjun coordinate teams to restore order in the streets.
Suddenly, another transmission cuts through. The distorted voice announces the next murder live, mentioning a name from a "secret government list." The team realizes the list is classified, but it becomes clear that the killer has access to it.
**SHREYA (anxiously):**
*"The signal is bouncing between multiple towers. Whoever's doing this knows how to stay hidden."*
**ARJUN:**
*"Then we start chasing ghosts. Someone knows where this list came from, and they're using it to terrorize the city."*
**ACP VIJAY KUMAR (sharply):**
*"Focus on isolating the source. Imran, start tracing any recent breaches in government servers. Arjun, I want boots on the ground—secure the locations of the names on this list."*
The team grows tense when they discover that **one of their own—Zoya—is on the killer's list.**

#### **SCENE 3 — THE SECOND VICTIM**
**EXT. ABANDONED FACTORY — LATER NIGHT**
*Setting:*
The second victim's location is revealed during the next live broadcast—a high-ranking government official. By the time the team arrives at the scene, it's too late. The official's body is discovered with a cryptic message painted in blood: *"You cannot escape the truth."*
Zoya finds a peculiar symbol marked near the body—a geometric shape resembling an antenna. Dr. Gupta takes samples for analysis.
**ZOYA (to herself, shaken):**
*"Why me? Why am I on their list?"*
Imran notices her hesitation but pulls her aside. His tone is firm but supportive.
**IMRAN:**
*"You're not alone in this, Zoya. Whatever this is, we'll stop it before they get close."*

#### **SCENE 4 — THE SILENT BROADCAST**
**INT. CITY-WIDE VIEW — EARLY MORNING**
*Setting:*
The mysterious killer escalates the terror by hijacking the city's large digital billboards and screens. The distorted voice announces a new victim every hour, using cryptic riddles to reveal their identities. The squad splits up:
- **Imran and Arjun** lead tactical teams to protect potential targets.
- **Shreya** continues triangulating the signal.
- **ACP Vijay Kumar** oversees operations, unearthing connections between the victims and the government list.
As the broadcasts grow more erratic, the team begins to piece together the killer's motive—a history of corruption involving secret experiments conducted by the victims.

#### **SCENE 5 — THE TARGET NARROWS**
**INT. BLACK SQUAD COMMAND VAN — MIDDAY**
*Setting:*
With each victim, the killer grows bolder, but the clues begin converging. Shreya isolates the primary source of the broadcast to an abandoned telecommunications tower. Imran and Arjun lead the squad to the tower while ACP Vijay stays connected to guide the operation.
However, midway through the takedown, the killer reveals a shocking twist: **their ultimate target isn't just one individual—it's Zoya herself.**
**KILLER'S VOICE (on broadcast):**
*"Officer Zoya… the sins of your past won't stay silent. You're next."*
---
#### **SCENE 6 — THE FINAL SHOWDOWN**
**INT. TELECOMMUNICATIONS TOWER — EVENING**
*Setting:*
The Black Squad breaches the tower, navigating booby traps set by the killer. Imran and Arjun secure the building's lower levels while Zoya, against orders, pushes forward to confront the threat.
On the top floor, Zoya faces the mastermind—a former whistleblower whose life was destroyed by the individuals on the government list. The distorted voice is revealed to be a pre-recorded loop, playing over the broadcast system.
The killer confronts Zoya directly, accusing her of ignoring corruption in her early career. A tense battle of wits ensues, culminating in Zoya gaining the upper hand and taking the killer into custody.

#### **SCENE 7 — RESOLUTION AND REFLECTION**
**INT. BLACK SQUAD BUREAU — NIGHT**
*Setting:*
With the city's power restored and the killer detained, the team regroups at the bureau. The ordeal leaves them shaken, especially Zoya, who reflects on her past mistakes.
**ACP VIJAY KUMAR (to Zoya):**
*"Everyone carries ghosts from their past, but what matters is what you do moving forward. You proved today that you're stronger than your fears."*
The camera pans over the team, united despite their scars, as the distorted broadcast fades into history.
