- Srikant helps CIA locate Faizan, a wanted man hiding in Balochistan. Srikant slips into Pakistan to interrogate Faizan. Pakistan's Prime Minister finds out about Zulfiqar and tries to stop it.
- Srikant calls his contact in the CIA Bruce (Mark Bennington). Bruce is interested since Faizan is on the US most wanted list. Srikant tells Bruce that Faizan is in Zhob province in Baluchistan. Srikant says that he will provide the exact location in exchange for a face-to-face meeting with Faizan. But for that Srikant will have to travel into Pakistan, since Faizan cannot be brought to India.
Faizan is captured in Pakistan in an operation by the US Forces. Srikant tries to convince Kulkarni to let him travel to Pakistan. Faizan has trained both Moosa and Sajid. Srikant says that if he cannot be sent officially then he will travel unofficially. Srikant enters Baluchistan with the help of an undercover RAW agent Mustafa (Shahid Gulfam). Srikant lands in Kandahar and travels to Baluchistan by road, which is a 2-hour drive. Mustafa has been in Afghanistan for 17 years now and has a family. They extract information out of Faizan posing as agents from the ISI who have mounted an operation against the CIA to rescue him, appealing to his patriotism towards Pakistan.
Srikant convinces Faizan that Pakistan is having to endure international humiliation on account of harboring terrorist. He says that Faizan's rescue operation was planned by the PM of Pakistan himself. He says that India has threatened war to Pakistan since Faizan sent 2 of his agents to India for Mission Zulfiqar. Faizan is given 2 choices, to abort Zulfiqar by giving the location of his agents. Or to die in Pakistan and avoid the humiliation to the nation at the hands of international media. Later, Srikant hands over Faizan to Bruce.
The PM Qazi of Pakistan (GM Wani) calls a high-level meeting with his Generals and security heads to understand how Faizan was hiding in the country and yet nobody had any clue about it. The consensus is that General Ansari and the ISI knew about Faizan's presence in Pakistan. The PM wants answers and confirmations as the Americans want heads to roll for this lapse. They have threatened to cut off aid, if no action is taken. General Khurshid (Mushtaq Kak) is tasked with the clean-up. Khurshid says that they are unable to track Ansari and his activities in Baluchistan as that is Ansari's stronghold. PM wants to know who Ansari's connection in the ISI is.
Meanwhile Ansari and Sameer discuss the Faizan situation. They agree that Faizan does not know the full plan of Zulfiqar, but he can point fingers at Sameer and Ansari. Ansari orders to put Zulfiqar into action.
Srikant briefs Kulkarni. Many years ago, a nerve gas stockpile in PoK got into the hands of Lashkar-E-Taiba. This was later seized by the ISI. Sameer and Ansari made the plan for Zulfiqar. The terrorists are planning to release nerve gas in New Delhi. The gas has been smuggled into Kashmir over time and is now being transported to Delhi. Sajid is supposed to transport the nerve gas and build the bomb together with Moosa. Earlier Asif was supposed to transport the gas from Kashmir to Delhi. This will be an act of war, and India will have to declare war on Pakistan. Ansari will use this opportunity to seize power for himself.
The PM of India is alerted about this plan. Kulkarni says that the India PM will need to speak to the PM of Pakistan and convince them to stop the attack.
