DETAILED SCREENPLAY/EPISODE OF CHAPTER 127
---
SCENE 1 — ABANDONED TEXTILE MILL, MUMBAI OUTSKIRTS — NIGHT
It's raining heavily. Thunder rumbles. A broken neon board flickers. A lone man, 28-30, bloodstained shirt, sprints into the dilapidated mill, panting, terrified.
MAN (V.O.)
If I don't get to them… I'm finished.
He reaches a payphone booth nearby, trembling, inserts a coin. Dials.
MAN (URGENT)
Black Squad… Control Room… anyone… help me!
Footsteps approach from the dark. The man turns. A tall figure in a raincoat, face shadowed.
MAN (shouting)
Stay away—!
Swiftly, a knife slices across his neck. Blood hits the cracked glass of the phone booth. The man collapses.
The killer calmly wipes the blade, vanishes into the storm.

CUT TO BLACK.

ARJUN
Forensics on scene. Locals didn't hear a thing.

On it, sir.

Sir — this. Custom-made.

Could be our lead.

Miss me, Zoya?

Her expression changes to fear. The call cuts.
