The cab stops in front of the Kochi Airbase two hours later. They get to the last gate and the guard lets them in as per the instructions he has received.
He locks the gate from the outside and walks away without saying a word. The place is dark and deserted. The runway is without lights and they see a hangar in the distance.
"That must be the hangar Major Kumar asked us to go to."
They run to it and see a Learjet parked in the small space – in the semi darkness. As they walk up to it cautiously, the lights in the hangar suddenly come on. Tanya grabs Rohan's hand and both of them stare at the door of the jet, as it swings open.
To their utter astonishment, their boss Mr. Chopra steps out from the plane with a smile on his face. Seeing him they stop in their tracks and look at each other confused. Two armed bodyguards get out behind him and take their positions flanking him.
Chopra walks up to them, "Great job, Rohan! You have exceeded all our expectations. Of course, we expected you to take matters into your own hands, so we were prepared for that eventuality. Now hand over the flash drive!"
Rohan looks at him in shock, "So you are the mole inside the N.I.A.! How did you find us?"
Chopra looks at Rohan's shock and then breaks into laughter. Rohan hears footsteps running behind him. He turns back and sees the two assassins – the man and the woman. They come and cover Tanya and Rohan from behind.
Rohan looks at him in disgust, "I can't believe you would do this. And I can't believe that I didn't see it before."
Chopra continues chortling at Rohan's discomfort.
"So are you working for 'Khan Bhai' – the head of the ISI in India?"
Chopra raises an eyebrow, "What do you know about Khan Bhai?"
"I cracked Alan's code. I have all the details. About all the sleeper ISI agents spread across various Government networks. Now that I know you are the N.I.A. mole – it leaves one big question up in the air – who is Khan Bhai?"
Chopra rubs his hands gleefully, "Hand over the flash drive and I will personally introduce you to Khan Bhai."
Rohan and Tanya look at each other. The people guarding them raise their weapons.
"You don't have a choice, Rohan. Hand it over now."
Rohan hands over the flash drive to Chopra who pockets it.
"Now that the mission is over and we can cover up this mess once and for all, let me introduce you to the chief of the ISI in India – Khan Bhai."
Chopra turns with a flourish towards the Lear Jet and Rohan gasps in complete dismay.
