Yeah, Mehta.
You have a very good understanding with him. He tells you everything.
Talk to him.
Find out if he has any information about this hijacking.
Ah...
Whenever you come and see me, the tea tastes a lot better.
So what's happening, Masood Miyan?
Sorry?
Bakhuda, I have no idea what's happening Mehta ji.
Is that the truth?
You tell me... Have I ever lied to you before?
What? Has the PM been informed?
No Sir, what if it's a coincidence?
What if it's a trap? Go and speak to Vinay Kaul sir in person.
Yes?
Yeah, I know.
Okay, alright.
IB, RAW, NSG, Airport Authority, all confirmed... and MEA also.
The Minister's coming himself.
The Home Minister?
Sir, that you'll have to...
We can't let the plane reach Kabul.
We have to end this thing here. In India.
They don't have enough fuel, sir. They'll have to land here.
- Mr. Verma, Ranjan Mishra. - Yes, sir... Okay.
- Hello, Mr. Verma is here. - Yes, sir, I've reached the
Airport Authority control room.
I'll see.
We'll try to talk to the Captain, sir.
Sir, please come.
Hmm...
Sir, we're still saying the aircraft is delayed.
I think keep it like that for now.
- Ah, Good evening, sir. - Where have they reached?
I'll show you, sir.
- Tell me the situation? - The aircraft is here.
Uh, they need to start their descent from here, to land in Delhi.
Huh...
Can we talk to them?
Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen to me carefully, Ram. Just listen to me.
You must find out by tonight all the places
that the driver took those five men to.
Bribe him, beat him, drug him, but find out. Okay?
Just tell me!
Who are those men?
- Where are they now? - I don't know.
Where did you drop them? Who are you working for?
Where are they now?
Huh?
Where did you take those five men? Huh?
Come on tell me. Where did you take them?
The IB has moved Masood Azhar to a different cell in the Jammu jail.
- Wait, don't write this. - Of course, I'm going to.
Nandini!
Nandini, this is privileged information. A Government secret.
If the news reaches the public, it could be a big problem.
Can I do my job, please?
There are more important things than your job. Responsibility. Duty.
Uff, you and your principles, yaar.
The Prime Minister's office has called for a meeting of the Crisis Management
Group today.
- Has he landed? - Landing.
The meeting was called by the Cabinet Secretary, Vinay Kaul. Can I write that?
Bitch!
That, to me, means a ferocious woman.
Thanks.
Remove his blind fold.
Where did you take those men?
Who's paying you for all this?
ISI?
There was a cable about ten days ago, from RAW Kathmandu.
I don't recall, sir.
Ram's been sending a lot of cables from Kathmandu these days.
If I remember, there was a mention of... Amjad alias Doctor.
Sir.
See, I told you. Amjad Farooqui.
He's in Kathmandu. Cited and verified by multiple sources.
He's been active in Bahwalpur for six months.
The question is... is he on this flight?
Amjad Farooqui is too big to be a hijacker. No?
The foot soldiers do the hijacking. I mean, you know the dispensable ones.
The ones they don't mind losing.
But, the wedding is day after tomorrow, right?
Yeah, so Sandhya has already left with the kids and...
I'll go from the CMG to the airport and...
Ah... Hello?
CMG?
Look Amma, when there's a national crisis,
all the department heads come together and discuss what is to be done...
to find a solution.
Three possible entry points that aren't visible from inside the plane.
First one's here, hatch door
Second one's here... And third, luggage hold at the back.
I hope by now they know the number of passengers and hijackers.
Incredible! You mean no one saw this email from Kathmandu?
Sir, those mails were from the IO.
They assumed they were CC-ed just for the information.
But you were CC'ed too, right? It's information, read it.
When will we get the passenger list?
How many women? Children?
Any VIPs?
Come on, go.
Just get it.
These are all the cables from Kathmandu, sir.
I don't think we should bring this up now.
- Why, sir? - I know Kaul sir is fuming, but...
It won't look nice that we're the only ones who noticed it.
- But that's a fact, sir. - Yeah, but we noticed it late too.
Yeah, but... Sir... we have noticed it.
Yeah, but...
Kaul.
- Give me a minute. - Vinod.
JP, I must say, I'm... rather disappointed.
Now I'm going to have to tell the PM. This is another disaster.
Zero intelligence. Zero warnings.
Kargil got attacked, and we had no idea.
Now our plane gets hijacked, and we're totally in the dark.
And eventually, reports will be submitted,
"RAW didn't keep the IB informed and the IB didn't keep RAW
- informed." - Uh, they're not descending, sir.
I don't think they're going to land in Delhi.
One minute. Yeah?
I'm on my way.
The Prime Minister has landed.
Sir, the Minister has arrived.
And now the Minister's here too.
Now what do we say to him?
What's the status, Vinay?
I was informed that you were going to the airport, to receive the Prime
- Minister. - I was about to leave
after convening the CMG.
Hmm.
Have you spoken to the Home Minister yet?
We have sent him a cable about the meeting. I'll speak to him on the way.
I've already spoken to him.
If you have spoken to him, then I don't need to worry.
Sir, congratulations.
- Thank you. - Huh?
Granddaughter. Half an hour back.
Congratulations.
- Excuse me, sir. - Congratulations.
Sir, RAW made brief contact with the Captain.
There are at least 5 hijackers.
They have knives, pistols, and probably a hand grenade.
Excuse me, sir. I have something more. One minute.
Give me the tape recorder.
Sir, we haven't been able to contact station chief Chauhan.
But we've spoken to IO Ram Chandra Yadav. Listen to this.
Look, I'm not going and neither are you.
This is no ordinary mission.
Everything has to be done according to plan.
This is not the time to get emotional.
You're not getting emotional because your loved one isn't trapped over there.
Now look, I... I'm not asking you,
I'm telling you that I am
going on this mission.
Arre Bhaijaan, why don't you understand?
You haven't had any training!
You could mess up everything we've planned!
- Amjad Miyan, this is not up for debate. - Aye, don't mention any names, Chief.
Doctor, my brother is trapped over there and you're worrying about names? Look,
if I have to die, that's fine.
But I'll take a hundred
and fifty people with me.
Air India four-niner contact. Change flight level seven-zero.
May I ask you something?
What is it that you want?
It's more than what you can give me... So mind your own damn business.
Sir, this Amjad that we hear on the tape is Amjad Farooqi.
Also known as "Doctor". A brutal militant.
Educated in a Madrasa...
and used to work for the ISI. But now he's with Mullah Omar.
And Osama also likes him.
Sir, he became famous after massacring 400 people in Herat city, Afghanistan.
The Americans call him,
"The Butcher of
Herat."
And I believe that he's on this flight, sir.
In the fight to overthrow the Afghan government,
Amjad Farooqui supported the Taliban. Which made him very important to them.
But if this hijacking was carried out for Masood,
then who were the people who wanted him freed?
The ISI clearly had a hand in Kathmandu, but Amjad and the ISI working together?
This was impossible.
Sir, I agree with IB and RAW that the ISI may be involved,
but... Amjad... would never work for the ISI.
No! Sir I don't think they will make it to Kabul.
- What? - Yes, sir.
Excuse me, sir.
They don't have enough fuel for it.
The speed at which they're descending... they won't make it to Kabul.
No, sir.
Amritsar or maximum Lahore.
Delhi Control, this is IC 814. Connect to Lahore.
They want to take the plane to Lahore.
IC 814... requesting contact to LHE.
Don't connect them to Lahore. That's their plan. If they direct it to Lahore
- we'll have a problem. - Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
Exactly.
Twenty five thousand feet.
IC 814, Lahore hasn't given you permission to land.
They're lying.
Tell them to connect you to Lahore. Right now. Directly.
IC 814 here. Connect to Lahore.
So?
Do we have any other options?
There's Amritsar.
Once they land there, NSG... can take them out.
Game over. Right, Ravi?
Of course, sir.
If they land in Amritsar, we must storm the plane.
I'll prepare.
Sir, I suggest let them speak to the Lahore ATC.
Pakistan will not allow this and they'll have to land in Amritsar.
If Lahore gives permission, then what happens?
It's not like we can trust Pakistan.
Exactly.
DRS, put me through to Pakistan.
We're not on speaking terms, but I'll open up a dialogue and tell them.
That if they allow the plane to, land on their soil...
then they will be responsible for it.
Sir.
We don't have that much time.
And only one man has that kind of power in Pakistan.
Excuse me, sir.
Excuse me.
Passenger list.
Hmm.
Second page, sir.
Chauhan.
Chauhan is on the flight.
What the hell, Ranjan!
This is so embarrassing.
What is it?
He's our station head in Nepal.
Oh!
- Let's just delete his name. - Huh?
For now.
We're the ones releasing the list. We'll deal with it later.
Delete it... Delete his name.
Excuse me.
Yesterday at 4 am, we went to this house.
Wait here, I'll be back.
They gave him a red bag.
I have no idea, what was in that bag.
Let's go!
Seven thousand feet.
IC 814, Lahore is closed for you.
Talk to Lahore now. We... we... we have to land the plane in Lahore. Talk to them.
Lahore tower, come in.
This is IC 814, announcing for a dire emergency.
Requesting permission to land.
Lahore is closed for you, IC 814. You cannot land here.
Over and out.
What was that?
He's saying, there's no permission.
That was Lahore for you.
You've been saying it's delayed for three hours. Don't you have an information?
- Sir, it's air traffic. - You're lying!
They're lying to us. On TV they are saying it could be a hijack.
- Stop, stop, stop. Right there. - I know you are lying to us...
Please try and understand.
They have not given any information.
- Who is the flight captain? - And up till now they are
- not giving any information. - Ah... Captain Devi... Sharan.
Whatever information these people are giving,
Devi?
And we collect, that is from outside.
There was a... policeman sitting here, and
He asked me, "Who are you waiting for? The Kathmandu flight?"
I said, "Yes. We're waiting for that."
He said, "it's been hijacked."
I had this conversation with him at around six o'clock.
Should we go to Amritsar?
It'll be dangerous.
So what?
What if they surround the aircraft?
Let them, even better.
We'll open fire, and throw some dead bodies outside.
Their government will only listen, when their people create an uproar.
What did you think?
I thought you'd at least know where we are supposed to go.
Maybe I do... and I'm not telling you.
- Okay. - We need to be prepared, sir.
They are asking for Lahore.
DRS... Landing in Amritsar.
- Sir... Landing in Amritsar. - Oh!
- Landing in Amritsar. - Yes, sir.
DRS was right.
Lahore didn't agree.
Well done, DRS!
- Ravi. - Sir.
NSG has to take charge now.
- Yes, sir. - I'm going to the PMO
Yes, sir.
Sir... they won't stop for very long in Amritsar. They've asked for the fuel
- bowser to be ready. - Let them land.
Ravi can handle it.
- Sir. - Yes, sir.
Ravi, just shoot the assholes.
- Alright. - Yeah.
I'll wait.
Boys... Showtime!
How long before they land?
Barely fifteen minutes, sir.
- Fifteen minutes? - Sir, I'm dispatching a commando team from
Manesar. If we can stall the plane for an hour or two, the job is done.
But they'll take a long time from Manesar. Don't we have any commandos in
- Amritsar? - Not NSG, sir.
- Sir, the Punjab police have commandos. - Then, let me talk to the Punjab DG.
Sir, I... I'll call Prabhjot. He... he's my ba... batchmate, sir.
Okay.
- I'm dispatching my team, sir. - Immediately!
- Sir. - So, plan of action?
Send a confidential cable to all the relevant embassies.
Umm, Pakistan, Nepal...
And Bangladesh. And of course, US and UK.
It's Christmas but send it.
Afghanistan?
Send it... It'll start a dialogue.
- Just in case. - Yeah.
DRS.
Give me a cigarette.
Since the matter is still in India, we can at least have a cigarette.
Rajesh! Organize some tea and coffee.
Thanks.
Yeah, Vinod. Look, I'm in Chandigarh right now.
But I have commandos ready in Amritsar.
They can be at the airport in 10 minutes.
Prabhjot is a great officer.
He'll handle it.
What a chess player.
Flips the game at the last minute.
Hey, Bedi! Come here.
Yes, sir.
Tell Pal to go with the commando team to the airport.
- Alright, sir. - I'll talk to him later.
Yes, sir.
Yeah, Vinod.
Just give me five minutes, yaar. I have to bring the CM into the loop.
He's visiting his hometown... Just give me five minutes.
Okay, okay, Please hurry up.
He's talking to the Chief Minister.
He needs the CM's approval, right?
Yes. Right move, sir.
Take all the strong, tough, and smart guys and move
them from the back to the front. Together.
I'll take the others to the back.
Everyone, raise your heads!
Some of you are going to be moved up to Business cass.
Everyone I call out to will raise their hands.
- Up! Up! Up! Up! - Put your hands up.
Hands up. You hands up!
- Up! Up! - Hands up.
Those with their hands up, stand up. And form a line at the back.
- Up, up. Come on, get up. Get up! - No, no, no, no. Please, please,

- Don't be afraid, don't worry. - One by one!
Come on everyone, go to the back... Come on.
Get out, get out, get out!
Say something, Papa.
- Do I have to tell you separately? - Sir... sir... can't we just
- stay in business class? - Business class! You stay right here.
- You go, come on. Come on, hurry up! - Ma'am come on, please come with me.
I'm taking them with me. Come on.
- My children? - Yeah, yeah, yeah, they're coming.
Come.
Don't try to be smart. Everyone put your hands up.
Everyone hands up and heads down!
Come on!
You're not going anywhere... Just sit down.
- Wherever there's an empty seat, sit down. - Everyone, hands up.
Come on, move. Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up.
Ma'am, ma'am, calm down. Calm down, ma'am. Calm down.
Nothing has happened to you. -Nothing's going to happen. You'll be fine. You'll be
- fine. - Nothing's going to
happen, ma'am calm down.
Here, here, have some water, uh... water, water, drink some water, one sip.
Ma'am, calm down... Breathe. Ma'am, ma'am...
Water, Yeah.
Yeah.
- Ma'am, Ma'am, calm down. - Come on.
Try, try, try, try to breathe. Try to breathe.
Calm down.
If you see an empty seat, sit down.
- Come on. - Fast! Quick!
Move.
Hands up, everyone.
Quickly!
Come on, sit... sit. Sit here.
- I don't want to sit here, sir. - Quickly!
I... I want an aisle seat. I... I come from business class.
- Business? I'll show you business. - Sir, sir, sir, please. I'll sit here
at the end. Sir, please, please.
Hurry up!
- Come here. - Sit down quietly.
- Everyone, heads down. - Go over there!
Move!
Sit!
- Come on, sit down. - Come on.
What happened?
They have taken my husband to the front.
Uh...
Don't worry.
My husband is also there.
- They'll be okay. - They won't do anything to them, right?
Everything will be fine. Don't worry, calm down.
Don't worry.
Sit! Sit, sit here! Now, quickly.
- Hey... Hands up, everyone. - You sit down.
- Heads down, hands up. Like this, look. - Up! Heads down, hands up.
Heads down.
Head down, hands up.
Not talking to anyone!
- Hands up, keep your hands up. - No one make a sound.
No one will raise their heads... don't try and look up... Understand?
Which one?
You put the bag in the plane.
What was in the bag?
Ohh fuck! Open it... Motherfucker!
Stop, motherfucker!
Stop!
What was in the red bag? Tell me... Huh? Tell me.
When I say five minutes, I mean five minutes.
But refuelling will take at least half an hour.
But the tanker better arrive in five minutes. Or we take off again.
Wipers.
Fifty... forty... thirty... twenty... ten.
What... what happened?
We have reached Delhi.
Please, please, please, please, please I just want to go to business class. I just
want to meet my husband once, please, please, please, please.
- No... no. - Heads down... Heads down.
- Beta, beta, please... - Promise, I'll just meet him
- and I'll come back. One second. - Heads down.
Is this Delhi?
Looks like it.
Sit down quietly!
It's so foggy I can't see a...
Heads down.
They're saying if the bowser isn't here in five minutes,
we are going to have to take off again.
- Requesting instruction for parking. - No, no, no, no, no. No stopping,
Captain. The plane has to keep moving. Keep circling.
Keep it moving.
We are not allowed to park.
I will just be making a loop, ah, near the runway.
Copy that.
Where's the bowser bay?
Over there.
It's time for Papa's medicine, Chhaya.
Indrani.
He's going to be fine. Okay?
Uncle, use the inhaler.
It's empty.
- There must be one in your bag. - No, no...
My... My daughter told me to take an extra one. But...
I thought it's just one and a half hours. So, I'll manage with one.
You should listen to what your daughter says.
Sorry, beta. You are right.
Is he okay?
Check if there's a pump like this in Economy. Someone might have a spare.
Okay, I'll see. Okay, okay. Have some water, Uncle.
Here, have some.
I can pick up something near the plane, but it's not clear.
Try it via Punjab Station. It might work.
And put it on the speaker.
Sir, we gave them five minutes but there's no activity yet.
Until you kill a couple of passengers, these people will never get the message.
Kill a few of them.
Absolutely, sir.
This will help... Breathe, breathe, uncle.
Yes.
Status on bowser?
Bowser is leaving the base soon.
- I'll... I'll just meet him and come back. - I don't think you should, beta.
Sunita... must we always take him everywhere with us?
Remember, I told you to leave him with Sudha Aunty?
We're not going to leave him anywhere.
He'll come with us wherever we go and if you can't handle your own son, I will.
Papa, I want a chocolate, I want a chocolate...
Shut up... Shut up... Just sit here quietly.
Where the fuck is the bowser? They said five minutes, it's 20 minutes.
Yes, it's coming, it's coming. They said it'll be here soon.
We need the bowser right now.
The bowser will take a little more time. We'll keep you informed.
That's not going to work. I'll show you how to get the bowser.
- Wait, What... What are you doing? - Come, Mr. Nangia.
Go tell those fuckers at ATC, that if the tanker doesn't arrive soon. This is what
- will happen. - But they're filling it. Arre,
sir. Where are you taking me?
Put your head down! Heads down!
Please!
Heads down!
Go and tell your government... how much blood we are willing to shed.
Hey... Heads down!
The Chief Minister says, "No bloodshed in Punjab."
The only way out now is if the Punjab DG gets a call from Delhi.
Who from Delhi, sir?
Delhi.
Sir... Amritsar is our last chance.
All I'm saying is that we don't have the time to get everyone's approval,
we must carry out this operation.
Sir, let's be very clear, it's now or never.
If that flight takes off from Amritsar, we'll have to pay a heavy price.
We'll have to hold them in Amritsar at any cost.
Ravi, what is the NSG's assessment of collateral damage?
There's no way to know right now.
But what I can tell you is that my team will do whatever it takes.
So let's do this, sir.
They just slit two guys throats. They killed them.
IC 814, bowser on the way.
Then where is it asshole?
Where's the bowser?
Come... Come, children... Come, come on, come on.
Ma'am, let it be.
They'll take the luggage.
Boys.
Thankfully, he's managed to land in Amritsar. Now it should get sorted out.
Okay. Umm...
Is there an Amritsar-Hyderabad flight tomorrow?
We have to leave with the children in the evening.
Ma'am, there's a security protocol in place.
I've been asked to make sure that you and the children return to Delhi,
as soon as possible.
Come, children... Come. Come... Come... come.
The bowser's on the way. Please don't hurt anyone else.
The bowser's almost here.
Can you please ask him to drive faster?
They've started killing my passengers.
IC 814, we cannot refuel on the runway.
Please bring the aircraft to the apron.
IC 814, shut down the engine for refueling.
No, no, no... no shutting the engine. There are commandos in the bowser.
We can't refuel the plane unless the engine is off.
Connect me to the PM.
- IC 814, do you copy? - Doctor Sahab...
- Take off... Let's get out of here. - Huh?
Take off!
IC 814, the bowser has reached. Shut down your engine now.
Just go and tell the Prime Minister and the Home Minister that we have only have
15 seconds left to decide.
The bowser's right outside. Refuelling won't take long.
Don't try to be clever... Just take off.
Please understand what I'm saying... There's no fuel.
I'll count from five.
Prabhjot, listen to me. You have to do something.
Vinod, my boys are right behind the bowser...
But someone has to give me the damn order.
- Five... - In the aircraft... please
just listen to what I'm saying.
- Four... - If there's anyone hiding behind the
- bowser, you can shoot me first, okay? - Three...
- Please just listen to me... - Two...
