Saeed, tell me what you see.

Saeed, did you find him?

Viraj is not here.

Only his jacket's here.

I think we've lost him.

An average of 86 and a strike rate of 155.

If anybody can help India clinch

the victory, it's this player.

Viraj Sharma.

Has it got the distance?

Yes, it has! Six for Viraj, six for India!

Can't help but get reminded

of Sachin Tendulkar..

..in the 1998 Coca Cola

Cup at this very venue.

Now five runs required of just two balls.

This is gonna be another one of

those Viraj Sharma specials.

There's a fielder in the deep, Viraj

needs to keep strike to himself.

He's challenging the fielder,

challenging his arm.

It's going to be tight. It is tight.

Umpire signals upstairs.

Third umpire it is now.

And..

Is he in? Just about it seems.

Viraj Sharma isn't getting up.

I think we've got a problem here.

And it looks very much like

he's in a lot of pain.

I think that he jammed his

shoulder due to the dive.

Look at that right arm. There's a

problem there, he's struggling.

Viraj is walking off the field.

This is bad news for India.

This is India's last wicket.

If Viraj doesn't return..

..then Sri Lanka will move into

the finals and play Pakistan.

- It's paining really bad though.

- What happened?

My shoulder.. I think it's dislocated.

We'll inform them that you can't play.

Give me a minute, sir.

This happened to me during

the under-19 world cup too.

I think I can fix this.

Don't be stupid, Viraj.

Your career is at stake.

Give me the bat.

Even an injury can't keep

Viraj away from cricket.

This is the mark of a true champion.

So here it is, the final ball

that decides everything.

That's a switch hit. Oh yes!

What a shot, what a player, what a match!

Winning a lost match has

become Viraj's habit off late.

I guess that's why they call him Mr.

Impossible.

So there it is. Exactly after 48 hours..

..India will clash against

Pakistan in the final.

C'mon!

That's it from us.

We'll see you at the Sheikh

Hamza stadium. Goodnight.

- C'mon!

- Well played!

C'mon, boys! Faster! Faster! Faster, guys!

- Viraj is not in his room.

- Must be having breakfast.

No, sir. His bed is untouched as well.

As if he didn't return to the room.

Did you try calling him? -His

phone is unreachable, sir.

Since when?

Haven't spoken to him since last night.

Tell me something, does he

often break curfew rules?

In fact, he never does it. He's

one of our most disciplined boys.

That's why I'm even more worried.

Even his phone is switched off.

That's strange, this has

never happened before.

Have you spoken to Viraj's family?

His father spoke to him

yesterday, after the game.

India plays Pakistan in 36 hours.

No one should get a whiff of this.

This news can cause riots.

So ma'am, what's our next step?

Whether it's Viraj Sharma or a substitute..

..we're responsible for the

safety of the whole team.

Bring back the whole

team on the next flight.

We'll have to cancel the finals.

Connect me to their

foreign affairs minister.

Yes, ma'am.

Pakistan.. Pakistan..

Pakistan.. Pakistan..

Hello!

This is for the governments

of India and the Gulf states.

Since you don't know me, consider me a fan.

Don't even bother to find me,

I'm not from your country.

Anyway, listen carefully now.

I don't want any money or ransom.

This is just..

..for the love of my cricket team.

A small request.

The final match..

..will be played without this Viraj Sharma.

I'll send him home after that.

God forbid, if I come to know that..

..the final match is cancelled..

If the final is cancelled..

..I'll kill him.

It's just a matter of 36 hours.

Let him stay here.

Pakistan.. Pakistan..

India's Minister of External

Affairs is on line 1.

I'm guessing, you've seen the video.

We've been promoting cricket for ages.

But such an incident has never

happened in our country before.

We're dealing with a fanatical fan here.

This man's crazy, he can do anything.

We need to act fast.

Ma'am, I promise you, my

best men will be on the job.

I have a request. I want to

send an officer from India..

..who will help you on this case.

I don't think that is necessary.

Our working styles are different.

Don't worry about that. His

working style is very unique.

He'll be there by lunch.

I just asked you not to smoke in the lift.

I gave you an option of taking the stairs.

Customs officer Vishal Sinha, how are you?

I'm fine, buddy. Just

thought of talking to you.

Of course, you'll think of me.

We used to kill thugs together.

Now you wear a white cap

and check excess baggage.

Shall we catch up for lunch?

Can't. I've come to meet Alishka.

Good. Atleast you found time for her.

Take care, man.

Coming!

Sorry, Kabir. I was in the bathroom.

What time is the flight?

3.30 am. I hate early morning flights.

- Where are you going?

- Brussels.

Please don't smoke here, Kabir.

'No-smoking' here as well?

Stop being an airhostess

everywhere, Alishka.

Don't smoke, it's killing you.

When bullets couldn't kill

me, how can the cigarettes?

All I'm saying is, don't keep

finding ways to kill yourself.

That's why I come to you.

A glimmer of life in the darkness of death.

- Where is he?

- Who?

The one who is hiding in this house.

What are you talking about?

Sometimes you forget that I'm a cop.

And sometimes you forget, this is a house.

Not your crime scene.

There steam on the bathroom mirror,

someone's taken a shower recently.

But your hair is dry.

And the toilet seat is up.

Is he in the wardrobe?

- Who, Kabir?

- Who is it?

Have you lost it?

Will you open the wardrobe or

will he walk out on his own?

I'll count to three.

If you don't step out, I will..

..shoot Alishka.

- Kabir, put the gun down.

- One!

You've gone mad.

- You've lost it, Kabir.

- Two!

Listen to me. You're freaking me out.

Three.

Customs officer Vishal Sinha. How are you?

I'm sorry, man.

We worked together for three years.

I took a bullet for you.

Kabir, please.. Listen to me,

all this was an accident.

Accident? Did you fall?

Your pants fell down? What

else happened by accident?

We can talk about this, Kabir.

It's not Vishal's fault.

She's the only one who

has never betrayed me.

Don't worry, no metal on me.

He's with us.

Kabir Shergill, special task force.

Saeed Naqvi. You'll be working

with me on this case.

- Your bag?

- I've got my deodorant.

- You must be hungry.

- I'm good.

No smoking in a police vehicle.

Drive to the Indian team's hotel.

Sorry, you'll have to go to the

headquarters first, for a briefing.

Hotel first and then the headquarters.

Sorry, but this is the protocol. I can't..

I've come here to find Viraj Sharma.

I don't have time for your protocols.

Tell him where to go.

Viceroy hotel.

This guy is trouble.

Since you don't know me, consider me a fan.

I don't want any money or ransom.

This is just out of love

for my cricket team.

If the final is cancelled..

..I'll kill him.

It's just a matter of 36 hours.
