WEBVTT
00:44.521 --> 00:45.938
He should be here somewhere.
00:46.021 --> 00:49.730
That means he has landed on our side.
What's the update on the rescue chopper?
01:14.646 --> 01:15.646
Jai Hind.
01:27.480 --> 01:30.105
The Indian Army
has spotted Ahuja's parachute.
01:30.188 --> 01:31.063
Where, sir?
01:32.605 --> 01:34.188
He's drifted across the LoC.
01:35.021 --> 01:36.646
Ahuja is in PoK, Tony.
02:39.105 --> 02:42.396
Dhali! Ahuja had to eject! Let's go!
02:49.230 --> 02:50.355
Ahuja is crazy.
02:50.438 --> 02:52.480
He always goes overboard.
02:53.438 --> 02:54.438
It doesn't matter.
02:55.313 --> 02:56.771
He'll be back with us soon.
02:57.813 --> 02:58.813
Sinha!
03:02.105 --> 03:04.355
Ahuja has ejected.
We have to go look for him.
03:04.438 --> 03:05.438
What? When?
03:05.521 --> 03:09.188
Just a while ago. We don't have much time.
Are any of the choppers ready?
03:09.980 --> 03:12.021
- Is Nubra 1 ready at the take-off point?
- Yes, sir.
03:12.105 --> 03:14.771
Quickly do the final checks.
I want to take off in two minutes.
03:15.396 --> 03:17.313
Has Ahuja turned on his rescue beacon?
03:23.271 --> 03:26.271
Ahuja is not in friendly territory, Sinha.
03:26.355 --> 03:29.563
And if I know him well enough,
he will surely not use the beacon.
03:30.146 --> 03:32.230
And he won't let them use it, either.
04:06.396 --> 04:08.105
Where do you think you're going?
04:08.188 --> 04:09.855
We are going to get Ahuja back.
04:09.938 --> 04:11.896
Ahuja is in Pakistan, Tony.
04:11.980 --> 04:13.438
That doesn't make a difference.
04:13.521 --> 04:16.688
Our choppers are fitted
with both guns and rockets.
04:16.771 --> 04:18.730
We'll rescue him. You have to trust us.
04:18.813 --> 04:20.438
What if you get shot down?
04:21.105 --> 04:22.813
Then who will go looking for you?
04:24.271 --> 04:27.480
It's a trap. A basic military strategy.
04:27.563 --> 04:29.896
We can't just sit around here
doing nothing.
04:34.188 --> 04:35.938
It's a diplomatic matter now.
04:36.480 --> 04:39.605
I'll talk to the government
and take this to the highest level.
04:40.313 --> 04:42.355
But we just cannot cross the LoC.
04:43.438 --> 04:44.396
Understood?
05:45.855 --> 05:48.271
In breaking news coming from South Asia,
05:48.355 --> 05:49.855
the Indian Air Force has confirmed
05:49.938 --> 05:52.105
that two of its fighter pilots
are missing in action
05:52.188 --> 05:54.688
after their jets were reportedly shot down
05:54.771 --> 05:57.480
over the Line of Control
in Kashmir's Kargil sector.
05:57.563 --> 06:00.271
World leaders are monitoring
the developments closely
06:00.355 --> 06:02.480
amidst widespread concern
that this may prove to be…
06:03.813 --> 06:07.063
…a dangerous stepping point
in the ongoing Kargil conflict…
06:07.146 --> 06:08.813
Pakistan Zindabad, sir.
06:08.896 --> 06:10.313
I've been watching the news, Aziz.
06:10.396 --> 06:12.313
- Well done.
- Thank you, sir.
06:13.396 --> 06:16.771
But now this issue
will escalate internationally, Aziz.
06:16.855 --> 06:19.855
The American satellites will be watching
the Line of Control.
06:20.855 --> 06:23.938
So, for the time being,
stop the movement of soldiers
06:24.021 --> 06:26.146
and their supplies in the area completely.
06:26.230 --> 06:29.771
Sir, India has deployed another
15,000 soldiers in the Kargil sector.
06:30.438 --> 06:31.813
Halting supplies at such--
06:31.896 --> 06:34.855
Now, what does it matter
if they're 1,000 or 15,000?
06:36.855 --> 06:39.480
It's been over three weeks
since we were discovered.
06:39.563 --> 06:41.688
We have killed 250 of their soldiers,
06:41.771 --> 06:43.188
shot down two of their jets.
06:43.271 --> 06:45.605
Could the Indian Air Force
or the Army harm us?
06:45.688 --> 06:48.730
Aziz, as long as we have
the advantage of height,
06:49.438 --> 06:53.313
the Indian Air Force and the Indian Army,
we can crush both of them.
06:55.396 --> 06:56.271
Right, sir.
06:56.355 --> 06:59.063
I hope both the pilots are in our custody?
06:59.146 --> 07:00.563
We have captured one of them, sir.
07:00.646 --> 07:02.063
For now, he's unconscious.
07:02.146 --> 07:03.355
And the other?
07:03.438 --> 07:04.771
We've identified the area.
07:04.855 --> 07:06.646
Search operations are on. We'll find him.
07:11.730 --> 07:12.980
Very good.
07:14.355 --> 07:15.646
Let's see now.
07:15.730 --> 07:20.021
How many more pilots does
the Indian Air Force send to die there?
07:49.355 --> 07:51.563
We found the parachute, sir.
07:55.688 --> 07:57.230
We found the parachute, sir.
08:18.396 --> 08:20.646
The station commander has come himself.
08:24.188 --> 08:25.813
I hope it's nothing serious.
08:27.730 --> 08:30.563
Mmm, no,
he's not in his ceremonial uniform.
08:30.646 --> 08:32.605
Ajay has had to eject during a mission.
08:34.230 --> 08:36.355
We are waiting for further information.
08:36.438 --> 08:38.771
The moment we hear something,
we'll update you.
08:42.896 --> 08:44.688
Ah!
09:19.355 --> 09:22.105
He's running towards the bridge.
09:22.188 --> 09:24.271
There he is! Behind the tree!
10:01.938 --> 10:04.105
General Zinni, what a pleasant surprise!
10:04.188 --> 10:06.271
Is it, Mr Prime Minister?
10:07.396 --> 10:11.396
My office has requested meetings
five times in the last week.
10:12.105 --> 10:13.396
I apologise, General.
10:14.688 --> 10:17.230
The situation at the LoC is quite tense.
10:17.313 --> 10:19.605
Which is precisely why I'm calling.
10:20.355 --> 10:25.313
President Clinton is deeply concerned
and wants you to de-escalate immediately.
10:25.396 --> 10:27.146
They are not our troops, General.
10:28.021 --> 10:29.105
They are Mujahideen.
10:29.188 --> 10:32.771
Delhi claims that it's your army
disguised as militants.
10:32.855 --> 10:35.938
Quite frankly, given the scale,
it is compelling.
10:38.896 --> 10:40.480
Whom do you trust, General?
10:41.313 --> 10:42.730
Your old ally, Pakistan,
10:43.855 --> 10:46.105
who stood by you for the past 50 years.
10:46.188 --> 10:51.563
Speaking of allies, Mr Prime Minister,
what is your Army Chief doing in Beijing?
10:56.771 --> 11:00.105
That's a personal visit.
It has nothing to do with this situation.
11:00.188 --> 11:02.021
Mr Sharif, you do understand
11:02.105 --> 11:04.730
that if India and Pakistan
go to nuclear war,
11:05.396 --> 11:09.938
100 million people could lose their lives
in the immediate aftermath.
11:10.021 --> 11:11.105
Right now, sir,
11:11.188 --> 11:15.230
you are just one reckless decision away
from setting it off.
11:15.313 --> 11:17.938
President Clinton
is counting on your leadership,
11:18.438 --> 11:19.563
Mr Prime Minister.
11:24.563 --> 11:27.105
This is my third war.
11:31.813 --> 11:32.896
And this day…
11:34.855 --> 11:37.730
is probably the most difficult day in my…
11:39.188 --> 11:40.271
entire career.
11:47.146 --> 11:49.813
With great regret…
11:51.021 --> 11:51.896
I…
11:53.355 --> 11:56.521
hereby suspend Operation Safed Sagar.
12:03.771 --> 12:04.896
With due respect, sir,
12:05.646 --> 12:09.896
initially we got orders that we were
not to cross the LoC while fighting.
12:09.980 --> 12:11.313
We did not do that.
12:12.230 --> 12:15.896
Then we were informed that we cannot
cross the LoC, even to rescue Ahuja.
12:16.980 --> 12:18.230
We still didn't cross it.
12:18.313 --> 12:21.271
But now we're told
we can't fight from within our territory.
12:21.355 --> 12:22.355
How can we do that?
12:22.438 --> 12:23.396
Tony…
12:24.355 --> 12:26.730
we have to face the hard facts.
12:27.313 --> 12:30.646
We've lost two aircraft and two
of our pilots in the last two days.
12:30.730 --> 12:33.146
We can't give up
without giving them a fight.
12:33.230 --> 12:36.146
Sir, I agree with Tony.
We should stay in this fight.
12:36.230 --> 12:38.438
You are all missing the big picture here.
12:42.021 --> 12:45.146
This here is the Western Air Command's
Area of Responsibility.
12:45.230 --> 12:47.980
From Rajasthan here,
all the way to Jammu and Kashmir.
12:48.896 --> 12:51.438
This is an area of 350,000
square kilometres.
12:51.521 --> 12:55.646
In this map here,
Kargil is only a tiny dot.
12:56.146 --> 12:58.188
And if our losses continue at this rate
12:58.271 --> 13:02.021
then in a month's time,
to protect this little dot on the map,
13:02.105 --> 13:04.230
the Western Air Command
will get wiped out.
13:05.146 --> 13:09.896
If the enemy opens up any other front,
then how will we protect these borders?
13:13.355 --> 13:15.646
Tony, I'm angry as well.
13:18.438 --> 13:20.730
But we work on cold strategy.
13:20.813 --> 13:25.063
We will strike them,
but from outside their missile range.
13:25.771 --> 13:29.146
But, sir, they are at
an altitude of 10,000 feet.
13:29.230 --> 13:32.230
If we can't achieve precision
from such a close distance,
13:32.313 --> 13:33.605
how can we from far away?
13:33.688 --> 13:36.021
That's exactly why we are going to wait.
13:36.688 --> 13:39.021
The target is at 18,000 feet.
13:39.105 --> 13:41.480
The bombing has to be done
from 30,000 feet.
13:41.563 --> 13:45.771
And this can be achieved only with
an advanced aircraft like the Mirage.
13:45.855 --> 13:52.105
That's because only the Mirage 2000
has laser-guided bombing capabilities
13:52.188 --> 13:56.230
which can lock the target
far away from the peak,
13:56.313 --> 13:58.355
outside the missile range.
13:58.438 --> 14:01.646
And can strike and return safely
14:01.730 --> 14:04.313
before the enemy reacts.
14:04.396 --> 14:07.813
But, unfortunately, they aren't ready
14:07.896 --> 14:10.688
because they don't have
laser-guided bombs yet.
14:12.730 --> 14:16.355
Guys, America has yet again rejected
our request for laser-guided bombs.
14:17.396 --> 14:19.230
Clearly, America is playing with us.
14:19.980 --> 14:22.521
We have the capability, but no equipment.
14:22.605 --> 14:24.771
So we'll build our own laser-guided bombs
14:24.855 --> 14:28.355
and show the world how innovative
and capable the Indian Air Force is.
14:29.188 --> 14:31.396
We have these old 1971 dumb bombs.
14:32.063 --> 14:34.396
We'll install these Paveway laser kits
on them.
14:34.896 --> 14:38.938
And we'll make this Mirage 2000 believe
that these are laser-guided bombs.
14:39.021 --> 14:42.480
Until this jet accepts our hack,
we won't be going home.
14:42.980 --> 14:44.230
Whatever it takes.
14:46.896 --> 14:48.146
We need to fool this jet.
14:54.938 --> 14:57.980
Sangy, sir,
there's a call for you from Srinagar.
15:01.771 --> 15:02.605
Hello?
15:02.688 --> 15:03.813
Sangy.
15:04.355 --> 15:05.646
Baldy here.
15:05.730 --> 15:06.646
Baldy?
15:07.980 --> 15:09.021
How are you doing?
15:09.771 --> 15:11.021
Any update on Ahuja, sir?
15:13.896 --> 15:15.021
Nothing at all.
15:15.938 --> 15:18.063
Our operations have also been halted.
15:18.146 --> 15:19.980
Yes, Chhabra Sir told us.
15:20.063 --> 15:21.980
Listen, just tell me something.
15:22.646 --> 15:24.521
What's happening with the Mirages?
15:24.605 --> 15:26.188
When will they be operational?
15:26.730 --> 15:27.855
We're trying our best.
15:27.938 --> 15:29.813
Everyone's working around the clock.
15:31.021 --> 15:32.021
Listen, Baldy…
15:33.730 --> 15:34.896
How is Dhali taking it?
15:36.396 --> 15:37.646
Wasn't he with Ahuja?
15:39.271 --> 15:41.855
He hasn't spoken properly to anyone
since he's back.
15:42.771 --> 15:44.146
Maybe he's blaming himself.
15:46.230 --> 15:49.188
We are all just hoping
that wherever Ahuja Sir is,
15:49.271 --> 15:51.146
he returns home safe and sound.
15:51.980 --> 15:55.771
Nothing should happen to both our pilots.
15:55.855 --> 15:58.980
Mr Jaswant, please communicate this
to Islamabad.
15:59.063 --> 16:03.396
Please ensure that they are treated well,
otherwise the consequences
16:03.480 --> 16:06.271
will not be good for Pakistan.
16:06.980 --> 16:07.813
Very well.
16:17.521 --> 16:18.355
Get him down.
16:19.146 --> 16:21.438
Hey, hurry up.
16:33.271 --> 16:34.188
Good job, Ajmal.
16:35.313 --> 16:36.938
You know what you need to do.
16:37.688 --> 16:38.605
Yes, sir.
16:39.396 --> 16:40.230
Come on.
16:55.771 --> 16:57.480
Squadron Leader Ajay Ahuja,
16:58.688 --> 17:00.688
what were you doing so close to the LoC?
17:01.855 --> 17:03.146
What was your intention?
17:05.438 --> 17:07.896
As per the 1949 Geneva Conventions,
17:09.188 --> 17:13.480
prisoners of war don't have to answer
any questions asked by the enemies.
17:13.563 --> 17:14.938
- Now talk!
- Ahh!
17:25.896 --> 17:28.188
Give a straightforward answer
to my questions.
17:28.813 --> 17:30.438
Why are you here?
17:30.521 --> 17:32.146
First, you ask yourself…
17:35.230 --> 17:36.313
as to why…
17:38.688 --> 17:40.021
did you come to our country?
17:47.646 --> 17:49.980
India maintaining that both jets
were shot down
17:50.063 --> 17:52.105
on their side of the Line of Control,
17:52.188 --> 17:56.688
the fog of war in Kargil has now thickened
into a global diplomatic crisis.
17:56.771 --> 17:57.980
Speaking earlier today,
17:58.063 --> 18:00.188
the U.S. Secretary of State
urged maximum restraint…
18:01.396 --> 18:03.355
…reminding the world that
a nuclear exchange
18:03.438 --> 18:06.271
between India and Pakistan
could result in 100 million deaths…
18:06.355 --> 18:07.271
Aziz,
18:08.355 --> 18:10.230
do we have the second pilot
in our custody?
18:10.313 --> 18:11.938
We do. We took him to Skardu.
18:12.563 --> 18:14.938
Has he agreed to accept the truth?
18:16.313 --> 18:18.771
Sorry, sir, I didn't understand.
18:18.855 --> 18:21.813
Just that he was ordered
to cross the Line of Control
18:21.896 --> 18:24.771
and he was supposed to bomb
our forward bases.
18:24.855 --> 18:28.605
It is important to get
an on-camera statement from him, Aziz.
18:28.688 --> 18:30.813
So that we can mislead the world
to believe
18:30.896 --> 18:33.396
that India is the real aggressor,
and not us.
18:33.480 --> 18:35.438
I'll get this checked, sir.
18:36.605 --> 18:41.688
But sir, General Hasan has told me that
the officer is very stubborn.
18:41.771 --> 18:45.813
Aziz, General Hasan isn't capable
of doing everything, is he?
18:46.521 --> 18:47.646
Go and see this yourself.
18:47.730 --> 18:49.521
Copy that, sir. Understood.
18:49.605 --> 18:51.521
I'll leave for Skardu immediately.
18:53.688 --> 18:55.146
I am asking you again.
18:55.230 --> 18:58.313
Which base did you intend to bomb
when you entered Pakistan?
18:59.980 --> 19:01.438
And I am telling you again…
19:04.980 --> 19:07.271
my aircraft didn't have any bombs in it.
19:08.688 --> 19:12.521
Nor was I supposed to enter Pakistan.
19:12.605 --> 19:14.813
It's a lie! An absolute lie.
19:15.438 --> 19:17.063
Which base?
19:17.813 --> 19:19.146
Which base?
19:26.771 --> 19:28.438
Which base?
19:29.938 --> 19:30.896
Major Ajmal!
19:30.980 --> 19:32.021
Come on, tell me!
19:32.105 --> 19:33.313
Major Ajmal!
19:34.938 --> 19:36.188
What do you think you're doing?
19:40.730 --> 19:43.230
Hmph. Untie him.
19:43.771 --> 19:44.855
Give him his uniform.
19:46.646 --> 19:49.021
And you, go and get Dr Bukhari.
19:59.021 --> 20:00.813
What are you making them do, Hasan?
20:00.896 --> 20:02.105
This is Skardu, sir.
20:03.063 --> 20:05.063
This is how we extract information here.
20:06.146 --> 20:07.938
Hasan, this is different.
20:08.771 --> 20:12.813
Do you have the slightest idea
how important this man's statement is?
20:16.730 --> 20:19.355
I apologise for how Major Ajmal
has treated you.
20:19.938 --> 20:21.980
But you see, you're very stubborn.
20:22.063 --> 20:23.480
And our soldiers, well…
20:24.688 --> 20:26.355
they respond to stubbornness…
20:26.855 --> 20:28.480
in the way that they did.
20:28.563 --> 20:29.896
What can we do about it?
20:30.646 --> 20:32.271
You can do a lot, General Khan.
20:34.855 --> 20:36.313
You can train them a little better
20:37.355 --> 20:41.563
so that they are aware that any kind
of atrocity on a prisoner of war
20:41.646 --> 20:43.563
is a violation of the Geneva Conventions.
20:43.646 --> 20:45.021
What Geneva Conventions?
20:46.396 --> 20:49.646
Those are only applicable
when the armies of two countries
20:49.730 --> 20:51.105
are at war with each other.
20:51.938 --> 20:54.521
Those people who infiltrated Kargil,
20:54.605 --> 20:57.063
in retaliation of which you entered
our territory,
20:57.146 --> 20:58.563
are actually the Mujahideen.
21:00.605 --> 21:02.605
I'm sorry, General Khan,
I wasn't aware of that.
21:03.480 --> 21:05.480
Funny how wearing a Pathani suit
21:06.271 --> 21:08.646
can turn the Pakistani Army
into the Mujahideen.
21:16.521 --> 21:18.521
Aren't you worried about Ankur and Alka?
21:24.438 --> 21:25.855
You don't need to worry about them.
21:26.688 --> 21:28.855
They're in the safest place in India.
21:28.938 --> 21:30.021
And you're here…
21:30.938 --> 21:34.313
inside the safest army base
in all of Pakistan.
21:34.938 --> 21:36.980
Where no one can come to save you.
21:39.313 --> 21:40.146
The fact is,
21:41.355 --> 21:42.938
only I can help you here.
21:45.396 --> 21:46.771
But for that to happen,
21:47.771 --> 21:50.188
you will have to help me
with something first.
21:52.230 --> 21:53.063
Hmm?
22:10.063 --> 22:11.313
Please have some tea.
22:31.230 --> 22:32.730
General Musharraf,
22:32.813 --> 22:35.980
Beijing welcomes you
during difficult times.
22:36.063 --> 22:36.896
Thank you.
22:36.980 --> 22:37.980
Please sit.
22:42.105 --> 22:45.396
My deepest sympathies
regarding your embassy in Belgrade.
22:46.438 --> 22:47.855
Three journalists dead.
22:48.646 --> 22:50.646
American mistake, they claim.
22:51.938 --> 22:53.313
We have a saying in Urdu.
22:59.980 --> 23:02.688
It means, "Your own roof is falling apart,
23:02.771 --> 23:05.521
but you're off to repair
other people's houses."
23:06.813 --> 23:08.813
And this is what America is doing.
23:09.438 --> 23:12.146
For the last few weeks,
India has been displaying
23:12.230 --> 23:15.021
unrestrained aggression
along the Line of Control.
23:15.105 --> 23:20.688
And yet, my Prime Minister
is receiving calls daily from Clinton.
23:21.188 --> 23:25.605
What should we do? Should we sit back
and allow India to take over our country?
23:26.646 --> 23:29.480
America is acting through India, trust me.
23:30.521 --> 23:32.480
We can easily take on India.
23:33.438 --> 23:34.438
But America?
23:37.396 --> 23:38.230
General…
23:39.855 --> 23:41.563
we also have a saying in Mandarin.
23:48.396 --> 23:51.105
A frog at the bottom of the well
23:51.188 --> 23:53.230
cannot fathom the depth of the ocean.
23:56.313 --> 23:59.521
It is a very stupid thing,
what you've done in Kargil, General.
24:00.855 --> 24:04.605
Sparking war in the midst
of a historic peace process,
24:04.688 --> 24:07.146
while both sides have nuclear weapons.
24:07.230 --> 24:08.480
You're playing with fire.
24:09.188 --> 24:11.771
China has always supported Pakistan
in the past,
24:12.396 --> 24:14.480
but this time, you're on your own.
24:37.438 --> 24:40.021
Not only India,
but also the rest of the world
24:40.521 --> 24:42.521
is worried about your safe return.
24:43.813 --> 24:44.730
And so…
24:46.771 --> 24:49.563
we will be making
a video recording of you.
24:50.688 --> 24:51.730
Hmm.
24:51.813 --> 24:55.563
Here we have placards with a message
that we have prepared for you.
24:56.313 --> 24:58.271
You just have to look into the camera
24:58.355 --> 25:00.771
and read out whatever is written
on this placard.
25:01.313 --> 25:02.771
So, shall we begin?
25:04.146 --> 25:04.980
Hmm?
25:12.730 --> 25:13.563
Zubair?
25:18.355 --> 25:20.396
I, Squadron Leader Ajay Ahuja,
25:20.480 --> 25:22.646
hereby give this statement
of my own free will
25:22.730 --> 25:23.855
and in my senses.
25:24.646 --> 25:28.813
Today, on the 27th of May, 1999,
when I was…
25:36.230 --> 25:40.313
when I was on a non-offensive operation
within the official territory of India,
25:40.396 --> 25:43.646
the Pakistani Army
which had infiltrated Kargil…
25:47.313 --> 25:48.230
What happened, sir?
25:48.313 --> 25:49.771
Don't they teach you how to read?
25:49.855 --> 25:50.813
Of course they do.
25:52.605 --> 25:54.813
To read and write, and also how to fight.
25:55.396 --> 25:56.563
But with principles.
25:58.480 --> 26:00.188
What are they teaching you here, sir?
26:09.063 --> 26:10.396
So, what you're trying to say,
26:11.605 --> 26:14.688
is that your mission was limited
to only the Indian airspace.
26:15.896 --> 26:17.813
Then would you care to explain
26:17.896 --> 26:21.730
what are you doing
on a Pakistani Army base?
26:23.271 --> 26:26.938
Sir, your Pakistan Army soldiers,
who were hiding in our mountains,
26:28.146 --> 26:30.980
had attacked my jet
with their Stinger missile.
26:32.855 --> 26:36.105
So I had to eject within my country.
26:36.855 --> 26:39.105
But my parachute drifted into Pakistan.
26:41.646 --> 26:42.480
So…
26:43.813 --> 26:47.771
you didn't really have
any kind of intention to enter Pakistan?
26:48.646 --> 26:49.938
Affirmative, sir.
26:50.021 --> 26:51.438
All right, I'll shoot straight.
26:52.021 --> 26:54.855
Lie for us, just this once,
then, Inshallah,
26:55.396 --> 26:57.938
you can go back
and get yourself a bravery medal.
26:59.646 --> 27:01.771
No country in the world
gives out medals for lying.
27:03.688 --> 27:05.896
Anyway, no medal in the world is worth it…
27:07.605 --> 27:09.480
if I earn it by betraying my country.
27:15.230 --> 27:17.271
I'm going to give you a better option.
27:18.480 --> 27:20.313
We can move you to London.
27:20.396 --> 27:22.063
You'll get so much money
27:23.146 --> 27:27.355
that you will never need either a medal
or any uniform.
27:29.438 --> 27:31.730
That's exactly what makes
this uniform so special.
27:34.355 --> 27:36.771
No random person can go out and buy it.
27:36.855 --> 27:38.021
It has to be earned.
27:42.146 --> 27:45.188
You have to dedicate your life to India
to wear this.
27:48.855 --> 27:51.813
Anyway, I've told you everything
I'm supposed to tell you.
27:53.980 --> 27:55.813
You are a three-star general.
27:56.480 --> 27:58.813
Your time is very valuable.
27:58.896 --> 28:00.355
Please don't waste it on me.
28:02.563 --> 28:03.563
Jai Hind, sir.
28:08.813 --> 28:12.771
A man who doesn't understand the thin line
between principles and madness…
28:15.605 --> 28:16.938
But I can't save him,
28:18.021 --> 28:19.771
and I don't think even Allah can.
28:27.396 --> 28:29.188
Aziz, what's the update?
28:29.271 --> 28:31.021
Sir, I really tried my best, but…
28:31.105 --> 28:32.730
the man is very stubborn.
28:32.813 --> 28:34.938
If he's stubborn,
then make an example out of him.
28:35.646 --> 28:37.188
You know what I'm trying to say.
28:37.271 --> 28:38.896
What about the international community?
28:38.980 --> 28:40.771
To hell with the international community.
28:41.355 --> 28:44.896
Make such an example out of him
that their souls start trembling
28:44.980 --> 28:47.688
even before they think
of entering Pakistan.
28:47.771 --> 28:48.605
Sir.
29:41.896 --> 29:43.896
Jai Hind.
30:50.271 --> 30:52.188
Compound fracture of the leg tibia,
30:52.271 --> 30:55.438
multiple gunshot wounds
to the thoracic cavity and cranium.
30:55.521 --> 30:56.688
Extensive…
30:59.021 --> 31:02.980
cigarette-induced burn injuries
across the abdominal region and genitalia.
31:03.063 --> 31:05.480
Signs of deliberate mutilation
including broken fingers--
31:05.563 --> 31:07.105
I can see everything, doctor.
31:09.188 --> 31:10.146
I can see it.
31:11.813 --> 31:13.438
Look what have they done to him.
31:21.521 --> 31:24.188
Doctor, can we take the body now?
31:24.688 --> 31:26.980
Yes, you can, sir. But there's a problem.
31:27.480 --> 31:28.438
What's the problem?
31:30.105 --> 31:33.355
The coffin that Pakistan sent him in
is a foot and a half smaller.
31:33.438 --> 31:35.813
And those people just…
31:38.813 --> 31:39.646
So what is…
31:40.480 --> 31:43.563
- Who's going to arrange all this?
- I'll make the arrangements.
31:52.855 --> 31:56.313
The situation in the Kargil war
is getting increasingly worse.
31:56.396 --> 32:00.105
Today, the joint operation
of the Indian Army and Air Force
32:00.188 --> 32:02.521
failed to capture the Tololing complex.
32:02.605 --> 32:05.646
Both forces have suffered a major setback
in this attempt.
32:05.730 --> 32:08.563
The infiltrators used
surface-to-air missiles
32:08.646 --> 32:13.438
to shoot down the Indian Air Force's
Mi-17 attack helicopter.
32:14.396 --> 32:16.646
This is the third aircraft
of the Air Force
32:16.730 --> 32:18.813
to be shot down in the last two days.
32:18.896 --> 32:21.438
In this attack,
Squadron Leader Rajiv Pundir,
32:21.521 --> 32:23.396
Flight Lieutenant Subramanian Muhilan,
32:23.480 --> 32:27.230
Sergeant PVNR Prasad
and Sergeant Raj Kishore Sahu
32:27.313 --> 32:29.313
have been martyred.
32:29.396 --> 32:33.896
Earlier, after shooting down
Squadron Leader Ajay Ahuja's MiG-21,
32:33.980 --> 32:37.355
the Pakistani army tortured him
in a gruesome manner.
32:38.480 --> 32:40.813
There is widespread outrage across India
32:40.896 --> 32:44.313
even as Pakistani military officials claim
that Squadron Leader Ajay Ahuja
32:44.396 --> 32:46.688
died from injuries
sustained during ejection.
32:46.771 --> 32:51.396
Squadron Leader Ahuja, unfortunately,
had been killed in the accident.
32:51.480 --> 32:55.521
India has formally accused Pakistan
of violating the Geneva Conventions.
32:55.605 --> 32:57.646
The killing of a downed pilot,
if confirmed,
32:57.730 --> 33:00.563
would constitute a grave breach
of international law.
33:00.646 --> 33:03.105
This is a cold-blooded murder,
33:03.188 --> 33:05.646
an act of cowardice
on the part of Pakistani regulars.
33:12.730 --> 33:15.313
General Aziz, why didn't you inform us
33:15.396 --> 33:19.396
that the Indian fighter pilot was tortured
mercilessly before he was killed?
33:19.480 --> 33:21.855
Sir, our official stance
is absolutely clear.
33:22.521 --> 33:26.396
Squadron Leader Ajay Ahuja
has died because of ejection impact.
33:26.480 --> 33:30.938
India has been accusing us
of violating the Geneva Conventions.
33:31.688 --> 33:33.896
America asks for an update every day.
33:33.980 --> 33:37.480
Puts pressure on me that the other pilot
be released immediately.
33:38.021 --> 33:40.188
Mr Aziz, you better start the process
33:40.271 --> 33:42.438
of returning the other pilot
back to India.
33:43.938 --> 33:45.271
Pakistan Zindabad.
33:45.855 --> 33:49.938
General Musharraf,
did you come straight from the airport?
33:59.313 --> 34:03.438
I thought I shouldn't wait too long
to share the good news, Mr Sharif.
34:05.021 --> 34:09.355
China has congratulated us
for punching India right in its nose.
34:09.438 --> 34:12.105
China is going to back us,
Mr Prime Minister.
34:12.188 --> 34:15.646
And if America still pressures us
to make a withdrawal,
34:15.730 --> 34:18.021
then we can most definitely
count on China.
34:18.105 --> 34:19.980
That's actually very good news.
34:20.063 --> 34:22.771
Which means we don't need America anymore.
34:23.313 --> 34:24.188
That's right.
34:25.271 --> 34:26.563
Mr Sartaj,
34:28.105 --> 34:30.271
you and Nawaz keep America entertained.
34:32.105 --> 34:33.855
The time has come.
34:36.438 --> 34:38.646
Now we will talk directly to Delhi.
36:36.480 --> 36:38.355
I surely trusted you…
36:39.938 --> 36:40.855
Tony.
36:45.230 --> 36:46.730
Why did you let him go there?
36:50.355 --> 36:51.188
Why?
37:49.480 --> 37:50.313
Fire!
37:54.188 --> 37:56.480
Fire!
38:28.521 --> 38:29.896
Sir, before the '71 war,
38:29.980 --> 38:32.980
an explosion occurred
because of someone else's safety lapse.
38:34.438 --> 38:36.438
Shrapnel pierced into my father's body.
38:39.188 --> 38:40.855
It couldn't even be removed surgically.
38:41.563 --> 38:43.563
And a few years later, he passed away.
38:50.188 --> 38:52.230
And today we lost Ahuja, sir.
38:53.230 --> 38:54.896
He was like a father to me, sir.
39:02.021 --> 39:04.105
I'm very, very sorry, Sangy.
39:04.938 --> 39:06.521
I want to fly in this war, sir.
39:09.980 --> 39:11.105
I have to fly.
39:14.855 --> 39:16.813
I want to go back to the Golden Arrows.
39:17.480 --> 39:18.646
Back to my family.
40:03.105 --> 40:04.813
They killed him, Kamal.
40:11.146 --> 40:12.480
They tortured him.
40:24.230 --> 40:27.646
Those animals shot him
at point-blank range.
40:30.313 --> 40:31.771
And they are saying that…
40:32.396 --> 40:34.771
he died due to the impact of ejection.
40:37.688 --> 40:40.896
They are lying to the world
and we are keeping our operations on hold.
40:40.980 --> 40:42.521
All the bloody operations.
40:45.688 --> 40:47.396
Tony, it's not your fault.
40:50.188 --> 40:51.938
I was the one who called him here.
40:53.313 --> 40:54.730
I called him here!
40:56.563 --> 40:58.813
He wasn't supposed to be posted here.
41:03.563 --> 41:06.480
"Ahuja, come here," and he came. And now…
41:34.855 --> 41:35.688
Hello.
41:35.771 --> 41:38.396
Sir, Wing Commander Sandeep Chhabra
is calling from Gwalior.
41:38.480 --> 41:39.355
Connect the call.
41:40.146 --> 41:40.980
Sandy.
41:43.313 --> 41:44.605
I am very sorry, Tony.
41:46.313 --> 41:48.938
I know that Ahuja was special for you.
41:49.521 --> 41:51.063
Sorry won't cut it, Sandy.
41:53.021 --> 41:55.313
We have to bomb them to the dark ages.
41:55.396 --> 41:56.855
We are very angry too.
41:57.521 --> 42:00.021
But we can't fly the Mirages
without doing trials.
42:00.771 --> 42:02.063
We won't get permission.
42:02.563 --> 42:04.521
How long will your trials go on for?
42:04.605 --> 42:05.813
I really don't know.
42:06.563 --> 42:10.230
French plane, Israeli laser kit,
old country style bombs from 1971…
42:10.896 --> 42:13.188
Hacking all of these
and fitting them together
42:13.271 --> 42:14.605
is a very tricky set-up.
42:15.230 --> 42:16.271
But we are trying.
42:17.480 --> 42:18.480
We are trying, Tony.
42:19.896 --> 42:20.896
Okay, listen.
42:20.980 --> 42:22.396
Sangy wants to come back to you.
42:22.480 --> 42:23.730
He's being emotional,
42:25.063 --> 42:26.313
but I'm okay with it.
42:26.396 --> 42:28.146
What is he going to do here?
42:28.230 --> 42:30.355
The whole operation has been suspended.
42:33.730 --> 42:35.480
It's so strange, isn't it, Sandy?
42:37.438 --> 42:40.230
You guys can hit them
from outside their missile range,
42:40.313 --> 42:42.105
but you don't have the right bombs.
42:43.396 --> 42:45.146
The MiG-27s have the bombs,
42:45.230 --> 42:48.396
but we cannot bomb them
from outside of their missile range.
42:49.230 --> 42:52.021
We have GPS here, we can reach our target.
42:52.105 --> 42:53.146
But the bombing…
42:59.896 --> 43:01.355
Tony? Hello?
43:02.230 --> 43:03.105
Are you there?
43:04.396 --> 43:06.563
Sandy, I'll… I'll call you back.
43:07.396 --> 43:08.438
I'll call you back.
43:17.646 --> 43:18.563
Kamal…
43:20.021 --> 43:22.230
we don't need to halt
our operations at all.
43:23.188 --> 43:24.021
Meaning?
43:24.563 --> 43:25.521
We can…
43:26.146 --> 43:28.646
we can do the bombing, but…
43:28.730 --> 43:29.563
But?
43:31.688 --> 43:32.605
But what?
43:34.230 --> 43:36.063
I won't get the permission to do it.
43:38.063 --> 43:39.063
Permission?
43:41.855 --> 43:45.730
Did they ask for permission
when they were entering our country?
43:49.480 --> 43:52.188
Or did they take permission
before they tortured Ahuja?
43:59.771 --> 44:00.896
Listen, Tony,
44:01.980 --> 44:03.605
do whatever you have to do.
44:05.105 --> 44:06.563
Do it however you want to.
44:10.105 --> 44:11.105
Just do it.
44:14.105 --> 44:17.021
They think they can do whatever they want
from that height.
44:18.188 --> 44:19.521
They are absolutely wrong.
44:20.605 --> 44:22.605
We are not going to mourn anymore.
44:27.646 --> 44:29.896
And we won't be taking photos, either.
44:33.063 --> 44:36.646
Our jets have been fitted with cameras
instead of bombs.
44:37.855 --> 44:39.813
But they were supposed to have bombs,
right?
44:40.730 --> 44:43.688
Now we will carry out the bombing.
44:45.646 --> 44:47.730
We all have access to GPS.
44:47.813 --> 44:52.021
We are actually capable of flying our jets
above the clouds and reaching our targets.
44:53.146 --> 44:57.771
And from outside their missile range,
we can rain fire and havoc on them.
44:59.105 --> 45:01.105
This has never been done before.
45:01.188 --> 45:02.688
But we are going to do it.
45:05.313 --> 45:06.188
Are you with me?
45:06.271 --> 45:07.730
Yes, sir!
45:12.438 --> 45:15.230
Tony, when was the last time
a photo-recce squadron
45:15.313 --> 45:18.563
took up the role of a bombing squadron
and that too during a war?
45:20.313 --> 45:22.646
Sir, when was the last time
any air force in the world
45:22.730 --> 45:24.605
fought a war at the height of 18,000 feet?
45:25.146 --> 45:27.021
My objection is purely technical.
45:27.105 --> 45:30.271
MiGs are designed to drop bombs
from 20,000 feet.
45:30.355 --> 45:31.813
Not 30,000 feet.
45:31.896 --> 45:34.105
Sir, the machines are ready
and so is the squadron.
45:35.188 --> 45:36.855
And you were the one who said that
45:36.938 --> 45:39.063
we have to bomb them
from outside their missile range,
45:39.146 --> 45:40.230
just like the Mirages do.
45:40.313 --> 45:42.646
So, we are outside their missile range.
45:46.146 --> 45:47.271
Fair enough.
45:47.355 --> 45:49.813
The army can give you the coordinates
for the peaks.
45:49.896 --> 45:51.980
But in the air,
how could you ever calculate
45:52.063 --> 45:53.855
how early you need to release the bomb?
45:53.938 --> 45:56.771
We are capable of conducting
our own trials
45:56.855 --> 45:58.480
and we will make our own charts.
46:15.980 --> 46:16.896
All right.
46:17.813 --> 46:19.813
I am going to officially
46:19.896 --> 46:22.771
give you clearance
for high altitude GPS bombing.
46:24.396 --> 46:25.313
But…
46:26.271 --> 46:30.646
make sure the error rate of your trials
stays within 200 meters.
46:33.563 --> 46:34.396
Sir.
47:20.938 --> 47:23.980
The army is struggling,
they're losing men every day.
47:25.396 --> 47:28.563
That's why I had to commit
support from the Air Force.
47:29.105 --> 47:32.646
Even though I knew that
this unconventional strategy's
47:32.730 --> 47:34.563
chance of being a success…
47:35.563 --> 47:37.730
is limited to 5%.
47:37.813 --> 47:40.980
As always, we don't really have
another option here, sir.
47:42.646 --> 47:44.313
Now we'll either make history…
47:45.980 --> 47:47.230
or we'll just become it.
