🎬 LOCATION: MUMBAI — COLABA
⏱️ TIME: 9:47 P.M. — RAIN-SOAKED NIGHT
---
🔥 SCENE 1 — BLACK SQUAD MOBILE COMMAND UNIT — MOVING
💨 Rain lashes the windshield. Thunder rolls. Inside the dimly lit van, the team is already suited up. Weapons checked. Faces unreadable.
📜 A digital map glows on the screen. A red beacon pulses over a 40-storey tower.
🔥 ARJUN (reading intel):
"Caspian Glass Hotel. Top five floors locked down. 42 hostages. No demands. No manifesto. Just a timer."
🚔 IMRAN (loading his sidearm):
"Then we're not dealing with terrorists. We're dealing with ghosts."
🔥 SHREYA (monitoring CCTV):
"They call themselves 'The Fifth Voice.' No chatter. No digital trail. They knew how to disappear before they even arrived."
🔥 ACP SULAIMAN QAZI (quietly):
"No one disappears in my city. They just haven't been found yet."
📜 The van screeches to a halt. Outside, the tower looms—glass, steel, and silence.
---
🔥 SCENE 2 — EXT. CASPIAN GLASS HOTEL — NIGHT
💨 Police barricades hold back the press. Sirens wail. The top floors are dark. No movement. No light.
📜 Black Squad moves in through the service corridor. No words. Just signals.
🔥 ARJUN (into comms):
"Control, we're going dark. Breach in five."
🚔 The elevator doors slide open. The team steps in. The numbers begin to climb.
📜 Floor 36. Floor 37. Floor 38.
🔥 QAZI (low, steady):
"Let's bring the silence down."
---
🔥 SCENE 3 — INT. FLOOR 39 — SERVICE HALLWAY — NIGHT
💨 The elevator opens to darkness. Emergency lights flicker. The hallway is silent.
📜 Arjun signals. Imran moves left. Shreya covers rear. Qazi leads.
🔥 IMRAN (whispering):
"Too quiet."
📜 A sudden sound—metal scraping. A figure darts across the hallway.
🔥 ARJUN (raising weapon):
"Contact. North corridor."
🚔 They move fast. Tactical. Precise.
📜 They breach Room 3912. Inside—three hostages, gagged and bound. One of them is bleeding.
🔥 HOSTAGE (muffled):
"They're… they're not here for ransom. They're here for someone."
🔥 SHREYA (checking pulse):
"He's going into shock. We need to move fast."
---
🔥 SCENE 4 — INT. FLOOR 40 — STAIRWELL — NIGHT
💨 Qazi leads the team up the stairwell. Rain pelts the glass walls.
📜 A voice crackles through the hotel's PA system. Distorted. Calm.
🔥 THE FIFTH VOICE (over speakers):
"You've entered our silence. Now you'll hear what the world refused to."
🚔 A timer appears on the hallway screen:
00:29:47
🔥 SHREYA (checking her tablet):
"They've rerouted the building's power. We're blind above this floor."
🔥 QAZI (to Arjun):
"Split. You take the east wing. I'll clear the west."
📜 They move. Fast. Silent.
---
🔥 SCENE 5 — INT. FLOOR 41 — EAST WING — NIGHT
💨 Arjun and Imran breach a conference room. Inside—ten hostages, huddled. One man stands apart. Calm. Watching.
📜 Arjun approaches. The man raises his hands.
🔥 UNKNOWN MAN:
"I'm not one of them. I'm the reason they're here."
🔥 ARJUN (aiming weapon):
"Start talking."
📜 The man reveals he's a whistleblower—former intelligence analyst. He leaked files exposing illegal surveillance programs. The Fifth Voice wants him dead.
🔥 UNKNOWN MAN:
"They're not terrorists. They're executioners."
🔥 IMRAN (to Arjun):
"Then we're not here to negotiate. We're here to intercept."
---
🔥 SCENE 6 — INT. FLOOR 41 — WEST WING — NIGHT
💨 Qazi moves alone. He enters a penthouse suite.
📜 A sniper rifle is set up at the window—aimed at the crowd below.
🔥 QAZI (into comms):
"They weren't planning to leave. They were planning to broadcast."
📜 A masked attacker lunges from the shadows. Qazi counters—brutal hand-to-hand. Elbow. Knee. Disarm.
🔥 QAZI (cold):
"Wrong city."
🚔 He takes the attacker down. Finds a detonator on his vest.
📜 He stares at it. The timer reads: 00:12:09
---
🔥 SCENE 7 — INT. FLOOR 42 — CONTROL ROOM — NIGHT
💨 The final floor. Reinforced doors. Arjun, Imran, and Shreya regroup.
📜 They breach. Flashbang. Chaos.
🔥 Inside—two attackers. One is uploading a live feed. The other holds the whistleblower's daughter at gunpoint.
🔥 IMRAN (shouting):
"Drop it!"
📜 The attacker hesitates. Shreya fires—clean headshot.
🔥 ARJUN (to the second):
"Step away from the console."
📜 The attacker smirks. Hits a button. The screen goes black.
🔥 ARJUN (furious):
"What did you do?"
🔥 THE FIFTH VOICE (dying breath):
"We were never here to be seen. Only heard."
📜 Arjun checks the console. The feed was never public. It was sent to a private server.
🔥 SHREYA (quietly):
"They wanted someone to see this. Not everyone. Just one."
---
🔥 SCENE 8 — EXT. CASPIAN GLASS HOTEL — ROOFTOP — DAWN
💨 The storm clears. The city breathes.
📜 Hostages are evacuated. Police swarm the building.
🔥 QAZI (watching the skyline):
"They weren't after blood. They were after silence."
🔥 ARJUN (quietly):
"And we broke it."
📜 The team stands together. No cheers. No applause. Just the weight of another night survived.
🚔 FADE TO BLACK — END OF EPISODE 152
