Episode 34: "Warpath"
Black Squad – Episode 34: "Warpath"
Opening Scene: The Funeral of D.I.G. Shamsher Singh
Location: Mumbai Police Headquarters – 10:00 AM
Rain poured over the city.
A sea of officers stood in solemn silence as the flag-draped coffin of D.I.G. Shamsher Singh was lowered into the ground.
A.C.P. Sulaiman Qazi, still weak from his injuries, stood at the front, his face hardened with grief. Beside him, Arjun, Imran, and Neha wore black, their expressions unreadable.
> Priest: "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust…"
Imran's jaw clenched. He glanced at Arjun.
> Imran (low voice): "We should've protected him."
> Arjun: "We'll make them pay. Every last one of them."
In the distance, a black SUV idled, watching. Inside, Zain Qazi sat with Specter.
> Specter (smirking): "Poetic, isn't it? They bury one of their own while we plan their graves next."
Zain didn't smile. His eyes were fixed on his father, A.C.P. Qazi.
> Zain (coldly): "Not yet. Let them feel the weight of every death before we finish them."

Scene 1: War Council
Location: Black Squad Safehouse – 12:00 PM
The team gathered around a war table, studying maps and surveillance images.
> Qazi: "Zain is five steps ahead. He set a trap for us at the hospital, and we walked right into it."
> Neha: "And now, he's hunting us."
Imran leaned forward, his eyes dark.
> Imran: "Then we take the fight to him."
Qazi nodded.
> Qazi: "We have three objectives: One—track down Specter. He's Zain's right hand. Two—identify Zain's funding sources and cut them off. Three—shut down his network before he spreads his influence further."
Arjun checked his weapon.
> Arjun: "Then we move now."
Neha pulled up intel on her laptop.
> Neha: "I tracked Specter's men to an abandoned shipyard near Nhava Sheva. That's our first lead."
Qazi looked at his team.
> Qazi: "Gear up. No more running. No more hiding. We end this."

Scene 2: The Shipyard Ambush
Location: Nhava Sheva Shipyard – 1:30 PM
The Black Squad infiltrated the shipyard. The air smelled of rust and salt, the place eerily quiet.
> Arjun (whispering): "Something's off. No guards?"
Imran spotted a blinking red light.
> Imran: "SHIT—IT'S A TRAP! MOVE!"
Explosions erupted. Metal containers toppled, sending flames into the sky.
Gunmen emerged from the shadows, opening fire.
> Neha (over radio): "We're outnumbered!"
Arjun dodged behind a crate, returning fire.
> Arjun: "Stick to cover! We need to find Specter!"
Through the smoke, Specter appeared, holding a detonator.
> Specter (grinning): "Nice of you to join us."
BOOM! Another explosion sent Arjun flying.

Scene 3: The Fight Against Specter
Location: Inside the Shipyard
Imran pushed through the chaos, engaging Specter in brutal hand-to-hand combat.
> Specter (laughing): "You think you can stop me?"
Imran delivered a crushing punch.
> Imran (coldly): "No. But I can break you."
They fought viciously, knocking over crates and slamming into steel beams.
Meanwhile, Qazi spotted a laptop inside a control room.
> Qazi (to Neha): "Get me into their system. We need to know what Zain's planning."
Neha hacked in, her fingers flying over the keyboard.
> Neha: "They're planning a mass attack. Multiple targets across Mumbai—police stations, government buildings, even public places."
> Qazi (grim): "We need to shut this down. NOW."
Outside, Arjun managed to corner Specter, gun aimed at his head.
> Arjun: "End of the road, asshole."
Specter smirked, blood dripping from his lip.
> Specter: "Not quite."
He pressed a button on his wrist.
A countdown timer appeared on the laptop screen—60 seconds left.
> Neha (panicked): "They're setting off bombs across Mumbai!"

Location: Across Mumbai – 2:00 PM
The team split up.
Imran and Neha rushed to disarm the bombs at a crowded shopping mall.
Qazi and Arjun raced to intercept Zain before he could escape.
The tension skyrocketed as time ticked down.
> Neha (sweating): "I need more time!"
> Imran: "We don't have it!"
With just three seconds left, Neha cut the last wire.
The timer stopped at 00:01.
> Neha (exhaling): "Bomb disarmed."
Meanwhile, Qazi cornered Zain at a private helipad.
> Qazi: "It's over, son. Surrender."
Zain looked at him with contempt.
> Zain: "You still don't get it, do you, father? You lost the moment you hesitated."
A helicopter approached. Zain jumped onto the rope ladder, escaping.
> Qazi (shouting): "ZAIN!"
Zain vanished into the sky, leaving his father in the ruins of a failed takedown.

Location: Black Squad Safehouse – 6:00 PM
The team regrouped, bruised but alive.
> Imran: "We stopped the bombs, but Zain's still out there."
Qazi sat silently, staring at a photograph of his son.
> Neha: "He's coming back. And next time, he won't miss."
> Arjun: "Then we'll be ready."
Qazi finally spoke.
> Qazi: "No. We won't wait for him. This time, we hunt him first."
FADE TO BLACK.
