Scene 1: Black Squad HQ, Morning
ACP Sulaiman Qazi reviews the fresh case file on Akash's murder. Imran Wani, Arjun Rathore, Zoya Mirza, SI Shreya, and Dr. R.P. Gupta gather.
Qazi: "This is the third murder in ten days. All victims received calls from dead relatives… hours before being killed."
Imran (uneasy): "It's like they're being stalked by the past."
Arjun: "Or someone's staging it to torment them."
Qazi: "We chase shadows, people. And sometimes… those shadows bite back. Let's move."

Scene 2: Crime Scene Investigation
At Akash's apartment. Blood, staged crime scene. Phone left deliberately on.
Dr. R.P. Gupta examines the body.
Gupta: "No forced entry. Same throat slit, same timing. Death between 11:30 pm–12:00 am."
Zoya (checking phone logs): "Call came from a number belonging to Rajeev Sharma. Dead since 2022."
Shreya: "How's a dead man making phone calls?"
Imran's phone buzzes. Unknown number. He silences it. Everyone exchanges looks.
Arjun (noticing Imran's face): "Who was it?"
Imran (faking calm): "Wrong number."
---
Scene 3: Forensics Lab
Dr. Gupta uncovers a pattern in the victims — all had some old, unresolved trauma connected to the person whose number called them.
Gupta: "This killer chooses victims through their emotional scars."
Qazi: "Psychological warfare."
Zoya: "I'll trace old telecom records. See how these dead numbers are reactivated."

Scene 4: Imran's Past Awakens
Late night at HQ. Imran sits alone. His phone buzzes. Another unknown number. This time… it displays 'Ammi'. His long-dead mother.
Voice (soft, ghostly): "Imran… beta…"
He drops the phone, breath ragged. Flashbacks flood in: his mother's face, the fire, Sulaiman Qazi pulling him from wreckage.
Imran (whispering): "What do you want from me…?"
---
Scene 5: Discovery of The Phantom
Zoya and Shreya uncover a pattern. All spoofed numbers trace back to defunct telecom hubs. CCTV records show a hooded figure accessing telecom servers.
Zoya: "He's ex-police. Cybercrime. Name: Inspector Sameer Desai. Presumed dead in 2018. Case led by… ACP Qazi."
Flashback: Sameer being suspended, vowing revenge.
Qazi (grim): "He was a ghost then. Now he's come for us."

Scene 6: Stalked and Hunted
Squad members start receiving calls. Shreya's dead brother, Zoya's childhood friend, Arjun's old case victim.
Arjun: "This guy's inside our lives. Watching us."
A hacked CCTV feed plays their personal moments on HQ screens.
Qazi: "This ends tonight."
---
Scene 7: The Final Trap
Tracked to an abandoned call center. A booby-trapped maze.
Arjun and Imran lead the entry. Explosives, false walls. Psychological traps — recordings of past mistakes, failures.
Imran (hallucinating): His mother's voice. Breaks down but fights through.
Arjun fights a knife-wielding thug. Brutal hand-to-hand combat.
Qazi: "Sameer, enough!"
Sameer (on speaker): "You killed my life, Qazi. Now I kill yours."
---
Scene 8: Final Showdown
Imran reaches control room. Faces Sameer.
Sameer: "You forgot your past, didn't you criminal?"
A brawl. Violent, desperate. Imran gets stabbed but overpowers Sameer.
Imran: "I'm not who I was. And you… you're just a coward."
Sameer lunges at Imran. A bullet ends him. Qazi stands behind, gun smoking.
Qazi: "Justice."
---
Scene 9: Aftermath
Dawn breaks. Mumbai quiet.
Zoya: "The numbers stopped. It's over."
Imran visits his mother's old house. In the rain. Leaves a flower. Whispers:
"I'm sorry, Ammi. I remember now."
