No one speaks.
No one moves.
DCP ESHAAN and ACP SULAIMAN QAZI walk side by side.
Their footsteps echo.
Their shoulders never touch.
๐ถ Score: low piano, ambient hum, distant heartbeat.
They reach the end of the corridor.
ESHAAN turns right โ toward the war room.
QAZI turns left โ toward the archives.
They don't look back.

๐ฌ FINAL MOMENTS OF SCENE
CAMERA HOLDS on the split โ two men, two paths, one truth between them.
The corridor remains still.
The silence is no longer empty.
It's loaded.

๐ INT. VARMA'S HOUSE โ DINING ROOM
A quiet, modest space.
IB CHIEF RAVINDRA VARMA sits alone at the table.
A half-eaten plate of dal and rice.
TV muted. Clock ticking.
He chews slowly, distracted.
His eyes drift toward the study door.
๐ถ Score: soft piano, distant ticking.

๐ INT. STUDY โ MOMENTS LATER
Varma enters.
The room is lined with files, maps, and redacted dossiers.
He walks to a locked drawer.
Opens it.
Pulls out a thick file: BOING35 โ CLASSIFIED CRASH REPORT
He sits.
Opens the file.
Pages flip slowly โ flight manifest, satellite images, autopsy logs.
Final page:
"Total Passengers: 350"
"Confirmed Fatalities: 349"
๐จ๏ธ VARMA (softly, to himself):
> "Three hundred and fifty boarded.
Three hundred and forty-nine diedโฆ"
He leans back.
Eyes narrow.
๐จ๏ธ VARMA (thinking aloud):
> "Who was the one?
Who walked away?
Who delivered the weapon to Switzerland?"
He scans the manifest again.
One seat โ unassigned, redacted, no biometric trace.
๐จ๏ธ VARMA (whispers):
> "Was it one personโฆ
or two?"
He closes the file.
Locks it again.
Stares into the dark.
๐ถ Score fades โ low hum, unresolved chord.

๐ฌ FINAL SHOT
CAMERA HOLDS on Varma's face โ lit by desk lamp.
The question lingers.
The silence grows louder.
๐ค FADE OUT.

๐ INT. BLACK SQUAD BUREAU โ MAIN CORRIDOR
The building is quiet.
Most lights are off.
Security cameras blink red.
A long corridor stretches ahead โ cold, metallic, silent.
DCP ESHAAN RAZDAN walks alone.
His boots echo against the marble.
His face is unreadable โ calm, but calculating.
He reaches the end of the corridor.
Pauses.
Checks his phone.
๐ฑ MESSAGE 1 โ ENCRYPTED CHANNEL
> ๐ฅณ CONGRATULATIONS.
THE PLAN WAS GOOD.
ONE WILL DISTRACT. ONE WILL DELIVER.
Eshaan stares at the screen.
No reaction.
Just understanding.
๐ฑ MESSAGE 2 โ UNKNOWN NUMBER
> ๐ CONGRATULATIONS.
A beat.
He types slowly.
๐ฑ ESHAAN (replying):
> "BE READY. SECOND MISSION IS ON THE WAY."
๐ถ Score: low synth pulse, rising tension.
He puts the phone away.
Turns.
Walks into the shadows.
๐ค FADE TO BLACK.
