11:47 PM. A closed warehouse in South Mumbai. Shreya Vishwakarma came here because Google Maps said there was a 24-hour supplier nearby. There is not.

Shreya Vishwakarma ( FL)

(whispering to herself) Okay. Okay okay okay. This is fine. I just need cardamom. Wholesale. At midnight. Perfectly normal café owner behavior—

Inside — three men on their knees. Five armed guys in black. And one man standing in the center with his back turned, speaking in a voice that could freeze the entire Arabian Sea.

????

I'm going to ask you one more time. Where is the shipment.

Trapped man

Bhai I swear on my mother—

????

Don't. Swear on someone you actually care about.

Shreya's dupatta catches on the door. The door SCREAMS on its hinges. Every single head turns.

Shreya Vishwakarma ( FL)

(frozen, hand still on door) ...delivery?

????

(turning slowly) ...

Shreya Vishwakarma ( FL)

I have the wrong address.

Shreya Vishwakarma ( FL)

I can see that now.

????

...

Shreya Vishwakarma ( FL)

I'm going to leave—

????

(to his men, deadly calm) Get her.

Shreya Vishwakarma ( FL)

(being dragged back inside) OKAY LISTEN— I make coffee!! I just wanted CARDAMOM— I don't even KNOW you people—

Ansh(ML PA/ BFF)

Shut up.

Shreya Vishwakarma ( FL)

I'm just saying, as a small business owner, this is genuinely terrible for my mental health—

Ansh(ML PA/ BFF)

I said SHUT UP.

Shreya Vishwakarma ( FL)

Fine. Fine. I'm quiet. I'm so quiet. See? Silence. This is me being— but. you what's your name

????

Turns, none of your business young lady

????

(without turning) If she speaks again, give her to Rajan.

Shreya Vishwakarma ( FL)

(mouthing to herself) Who is Rajan.

??? finally turns around fully. Shreya stares. He is, unfortunately, devastating to look at.

Shreya Vishwakarma ( FL)

(internal) Okay WHY does the scary warehouse man look like that. This is so unfair. I'm about to die and he has cheekbones like THAT—

Shreyas Singh (ML)

(looking her up and down, unimpressed) You came here alone.

Shreya Vishwakarma ( FL)

...Yes.

Shreyas Singh (ML)

At midnight

Shreya Vishwakarma ( FL)

I work late.

Ansh(ML PA/ BFF)

For cardamom.

Shreya Vishwakarma ( FL)

It's a crucial spice—

Shreyas Singh (ML)

(to his men) Check her phone. Her bag. Everything.

Shreya Vishwakarma ( FL)

(phone being grabbed) Hey— there are PERSONAL things on there—

Ansh(ML PA/ BFF)

Just photos of food, boss. And... a lot of cat memes.

Ansh(ML PA/ BFF)

Like. A lot.

Shreyas Singh (ML)

(studying her) You're not press.

Shreya Vishwakarma ( FL)

I'm a café owner.

Shreyas Singh (ML)

You're not a cop.

Shreya Vishwakarma ( FL)

I make lattes.

Shreyas Singh (ML)

You're no one.

Shreya Vishwakarma ( FL)

(strangely offended) Excuse me—

Shreyas Singh (ML)

(ignoring her, back to business) Then she's useless. Lock her in the back room until we're done. Then let her go.

Shreya Vishwakarma ( FL)

(being dragged again) LOCK ME— you can't just— I have a 5 AM opening shift—

Shreyas Singh (ML)

(doesn't even look at her) Someone give her cardamom so she stops talking.

Shreya Vishwakarma ( FL)

...genuinely, what is happening to my life.

YOU

Shreyas Singh (ML)

The ceiling is low.

Shreya Vishwakarma ( FL)

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE—

Shreyas Singh (ML)

(to Ansh behind him) It smells like cardamom.

Ansh(ML PA/ BFF)

(whispering) Boss that's probably because your men gave her a kilo of it last night—

Shreyas Singh (ML)

I know

Anjali[Fl BFF]

(frozen behind counter, whispering to Shreya) Who. Is. That.

Shreya Vishwakarma ( FL)

(through gritted teeth, whispering back) The warehouse man—
