The sun cast golden rays over a quiet village on the outskirts of Mumbai. Lush green fields stretched endlessly, children laughed in the distance, and the air was filled with the hum of nature — a stark contrast to Khan's shattered world.
Khan, looked out from a small mud house, wearing worn clothes and a gentle smile, something rare on his face these days. He had been living with a humble farmer's family for over a week — a kind-hearted couple and their curious 7-year-old son, Aarav.
Aarav tugged on Khan's sleeve.
Aarav: "Bhaiya, will you help me fix my kite today?"
Khan (smiling): "Of course, champ. But you better not challenge me to a flying contest again."
Khan found solace here. The simplicity, the care — it gave him a moment to breathe, to forget the chaos within him.
[Lucy on the Move]
Meanwhile, Detective Lucy, now a fugitive, navigated the back alleys of Mumbai, armed with only her sharp mind and a folder filled with clues. She had dyed her hair, changed her outfit, and used backdoor tech to avoid surveillance.
She sat in a safe house, decoding the experiment files Pathan tried to bury.
Lucy (reading aloud):
"Project K — 9 experiments. Subjects 1 to 8 were discarded or vanished. Number 9… Khan."
She circled the line.
Lucy: "I need to find the others. Maybe one of them can prove Khan's innocence… or explain what's happening to him."
[Pathan's Command – Riddle for Blood]
In the dim-lit control room of an abandoned military outpost, Pathan paced before the cracked monitor screens. His eyes burned with frustration.
Pathan (growling):
"Khan's slipping from my grip. I need chaos. I need him shaken."
From the shadows, a crooked figure emerged, face twisted with a permanent smirk. He twirled a puzzle cube in one hand — Subject No. 4: The Riddler.
Riddler (singing):
"Chaos, you say? I like chaos... but I don't follow orders, I follow curiosity."
Pathan:
"You will do this. Shake Khan's mind. Kill what he cares for. Drag him back to madness."
Riddler (tilting his head):
"One condition. A little warm-up. Solve my riddle — or I walk."
Pathan (furious):
"Are you joking?"
Riddler (grinning):
"I speak without a mouth and hear without ears. I have no body, but I come alive with wind. What am I?"
Pathan (smirking):You Really Want me to answer This?🧐
Riddler :- Yes, I want answer
Pathan:- "An Echo."
Riddler's grin widened.
Riddler:
"Delightful. You still have a brain. Let the game begin."
[Scene Sifts to Village- Peace Before the Storm]
Back in a remote village near Mumbai, Khan sat under a neem tree, staring at the vast sky. He looked at peace… on the surface.
Aarav, the farmer's 7-year-old son, rushed toward him with a handmade kite.
Aarav:
"Bhaiya, today is windy! Come fly with me!"
Khan smiled faintly, standing up to join the child. After Play Khan Back to Village and Sleep.
After Waking Up He find a rang in his mind. He paused. The village faded around him for a second, replaced by burning streets, broken memories.
He shook it off, smiling weakly.
He was holding himself together — barely.
That night, a scream tore through the quiet.
Khan rushed back from the Room. The house was on fire. The parents lay dead.
Painted on the wall in blood-red:
"If you want the boy, play my game.
Your past is broken — can you fix the same?"
[After the chaos Villagers came their
Villagers gathered. Khan stood silent.]
His hands clenched the note. But his eyes? Sharp. Focused.
Something had awakened.
Khan:- Don't Worry, I will Find arnav and Make sure He will Be safe
He followed the clues, step by step — riddles laced with double meanings, memory triggers, and twisted logic.
Khan Opens The notes and See a Riddle

Khan: It's Proable answer Will be -All were married.
Voice in head - Oh You Are Now Understanding Riddles
Voice: It Refers To Riverbank under the old bridge.
Each time he solved one, the next was harder — designed to twist his mind. And yet... Khan moved faster. Smarter. He wasn't just solving riddles — he was enjoying them.
[Scene Sifts To Lucy ]
In the city, Lucy had cracked a few of Pathan's hidden files. She rushed to the forest, following the last signal from Subject No. 4.
She arrived at the Riddler's hideout just as Khan stepped into the final chamber.
Lucy:
"Khan!"
Khan (startled):
"You shouldn't be here."
Lucy (serious):
"You were right. About everything. Pathan… he's controlling this. I've seen the lab files. I'm with you now."
Riddler's voice echoed from the speakers above.
Riddler:
"Oh good! A team. Let's see if two minds can beat mine."
[They had to solve a mechanical puzzle — a shifting maze with only 90 seconds to solve or the child would be drowned in a tank.
Khan, calm, focused. His fingers flew across the knobs, his mind calculating.]
Lucy (watching):
"You're… different. You were never this sharp before."
Khan:- I also Don't Know, But we Don't Have time.
They solved it with 6 seconds to spare. The tank opened. Aarav was alive.
As they turned to leave, the Riddler stepped out, hands raised.
Riddler:
"Well done, K-9. But did you ever stop to think — why you solved them so easily?"
Khan (coldly):
"Because I had to."
Riddler (laughing):
"No… because someone else inside you did."
He pulled a blade and lunged. Khan disarmed him in two moves, slamming him to the ground.
Khan:
"You're done."
Riddler (gasping, bleeding):
"There were 9 of us. You're number 9. I'm number 4. Number 2 is out there. Stronger. Meaner. You don't know what's coming."
He looked at Lucy.
Riddler (whispering):
"Ask yourself... was it really Khan who solved the riddles?"
He laughed manically, then stabbed himself in the throat.
[After All Mess, Khan and Lucy Get Out from their and Make Sure Arnav is Fine , Giving arnav Custody to his Uncle]
Back in the jungle, Lucy and Khan sat in silence.
Lucy:
"He said you're changing. Like something inside is growing."
Khan (shaking):
"I don't feel like myself anymore. I'm starting to like it when I'm not me."
Lucy :- It's Also Not look Like Shurya
Khan(Confused): Who is Shurya?
Lucy(Thinking):- Khan Don't Know about Shurya, May be this is not Right time for Telling Him
Lucy(Smile) :- It's Nothing, How You get here.
Khan:- I want to Know Who is Shurya and How he is related to me.
Lucy:- Shurya is the Maskman, it have no relation to you, Because he is Full of strength, and Your action look like Intelligence.
Khan(Doubting):- Maybe, I don't know.
They looked at the Riddler's final message, burned into a steel plate:
"Number 2 knows. Number 2 remembers."
A storm brewed in the distance.
