The film begins with a car chase in [[Chicago]], which leads to a scuffle between a man ostensibly named Jude Rosario and an American male known as Matthew Brody. The scuffle ends with Brody falling into the icy waters of [[Chicago River]], and his body missing. This results in Rosario being arrested and convicted of murder. | The film begins with a car chase in [[Chicago]], which leads to a scuffle between a man ostensibly named Jude Rosario and an American male known as Matthew Brody.

A flashback to six months prior shows the office of the Indian [[Research and Analysis Wing|RAW]] chief Roy | A flashback to six months prior shows the office of the Indian [[Research and Analysis Wing|RAW]] chief Roy, where he and his trusted men plan a daring covert operation. The man, known as Jude Rosario in the opening sequence, is shown to be Captain Daniyal Khan, a dead-end ex-soldier with a completely deadpan sense of life and death which is pulled out of oblivion and pressed into service by the spy agency to wreak vengeance on the men who planned the [[2008 Mumbai attacks|26/11 Mumbai terror attacks]]. He agrees on the assurance that he will be reinstated in the Indian army to the same rank from which he was court-martialled, which meant regaining the respect of his estranged father, retd. Col. Usman Khan, and mentor, Dilawar Singh. His only team member, Nawaz Mistry helps him find his first target Sajid Mir at a cricket match in [[London]]. On reaffirming his identity after breaking into his apartment, Daniyal rigs up an explosion which kills Sajid, which makes the headlines explaining it was accidental, resulting in an investigation by the Pakistani [[Inter-Services Intelligence|ISI]]. | ||
In the present day, Daniyal, aka Jude, has landed in the same jail as [[David Headley]], his next target. He contacts Nawaz in order to acquire money to buy a battery, as a replacement for another one which holds a certain poison. The poison, ([[succinylcholine]]), is untraceable as it can kill a person when it touches the tongue, causing a heart attack. After killing Headley by plugging the poisonous battery into a [[shower]]head he usually uses, Brody, who supposedly died upon falling in the river, is found alive, and Daniyal is released as his earlier sentence is rendered null and void. Meanwhile, ISI agents gather information about him. | In the present day, Daniyal, aka Jude, has landed in the same jail as [[David Headley]], his next target.

Daniyal and Nawaz, through [[Syria]], go to [[Pakistan]] to take down the last two perpetrators, Sahabuddin Umvi and [[Hafiz Muhammad Saeed|Haaris Saeed]]. There, they make plans of killing Saeed with the help of a local restaurant owner and RAW agent Khalid, by an explosive planted in the mic used during his public rally. However, their plan fails, leading Daniyal to pursue Saeed in a car and shoot him dead, also causing an explosion. Umvi is killed with the help of a nurse Amina Bi, a mother who lost her [[Lashkar-e-Taiba|militant]] son in a [[suicide attack]], who replaces his regular medicine with poison, later shooting herself after the police find her at her home. | Daniyal and Nawaz, through [[Syria]], go to [[Pakistan]] to take down the last two perpetrators, Sahabuddin Umvi and [[Hafiz Muhammad Saeed|Haaris Saeed]].

With the Pakistani army and ISI pursuing them, Daniyal and Nawaz make their way to the coast to escape through the [[Arabian sea]]. Their accomplices get caught and interrogated for information or are killed. While they are escaping on a boat, the Pakistani military finds out about it and sends patrol boats to apprehend them. While hiding in the waters with Nawaz, Daniyal gets shot by the military and dies. Nawaz later gets rescued by the [[Indian Navy]], after they leave. Later, she goes to the [[The Taj Mahal Palace Hotel|Taj Hotel]] and has two cups of tea, fulfilling a promise earlier made to Daniyal. | With the Pakistani army and ISI pursuing them, Daniyal and Nawaz make their way to the coast to escape through the [[Arabian sea]].
