Naina is trying to exercise but is still weak. Huda asks why she’s punishing herself when they’re anyway going to be punished in an hour.
Huda asks if he didn’t save her from the Major? Naina says he did but he must have had a motive for it and asks who the man was that he met in the jungle.
Naina asks if he came to save her then why didn’t he support her? She knows that he misguided her in the forest. Huda says he’ll tell her everything but he can’t do so now, he promises he’ll tell her tomorrow.
Naina tells him that her mission was only incomplete because of him and that nothing had better happen to the Captain.
In the hospital Bunty is asking about Raj and is told that he should be up soon but is under medication at the moment. Bunty goes to the room to find that Raj isn’t in his bed - our Captain is already up and dressed.
Raj asks if Bunty gave the code to Naina and when he confirms he did, Raj asks him to find out who else she had given the code to.
BC addresses the cadets, telling them that they received news that Captain Rajveer had died, or as one cadet felt that he might be alive. He points out that in wartime they will receive news like this about their comrades and they must learn how to handle it and not break their chain of command, as that can be dangerous for all. They must learn discipline and not to break the rules.
Major Nair tells them about the five remaining punishments they’ll undergo.
They are going to have to crawl through a muddy trench with barbed wire over the top with weights on their ankles (which the Major says will teach them their status). They’re in pairs and if the first one fails to do 5 rounds in 2 minutes their partner will need to do 10 rounds.
Raj arrives to interrogate the terrorist he caught. He wakes him by throwing water in his face. Raj says that his location was known only to this own man, but after two days of waiting they were the ones to arrive alongside one of his trusted cadets.
If the information was only with two people how did they get it?
Back at the academy the cadets are completing their punishment; Naina, Pooja and Huda are currently doing the rounds while their partners wait. Major Nair taunts Naina as she tries to complete the task.
Pooja struggles and Ali tells her he’s ready, if she can’t do it then he’ll complete the task (moments like these I really do love Ali) but Pooja struggles on determinedly.
Major Nair continues taunting Naina, telling her she must be wishing Captain Rajveer was alive to save her. Alekh looks on angrily.
Huda makes it on time, saving Yudi from 5 extra rounds. Major Nair says that he’ll give Naina a minute more in salute to her spirit, is it the spirit to become a soldier or something to do with Captain Rajveer, a special relationship with him that caused her to search for him in the jungle? Distracted, Naina hits her head on the barbed wire, causing her wound to start bleeding again.
Pooja makes it on time and Ali helps her out. Alekh watches worriedly as Naina struggles.
She just misses out on making it in time and Major Nair gloats, telling her that there’s no room for weak cadets in the army as they only let down their comrades.
Alekh gives Naina his hand, helping her out and supports her. He tells her not to worry, Nair has never dealt with a Qaidi before, he doesn’t know how much Alekh can endure. He’ll do the ten rounds easily.
And that ladies and gentlemen, is Alekh Sharma, who would gladly die for his friends or do anything to help them. This is a memorable moment because it really is the cementing of their friendship, from this point onwards we do see them always turn to each other for support.
Raj speaks to his senior on the phone, telling them that it’s now clear that they’ve managed to turn one of the cadets who gave them his location and cut his jeep. They must know that he’s a special intelligence officer. Raj promises to find out the identity and hangs up just as Bunty delivers the cleaned up photo from the night of the fresher’s ball. Bunty tells him that Naina told two people the code, Alekh and Huda, and urges him to open the envelope.
We see Raj looking at the photo.
