Suresh and Ramesh eagerly started the third episode of Ravan's Rampage.
The episode opened with a poignant scene where Ravan agreed to join RAW. The camera lingered on his face as he explained his decision:
"I've always lived in the shadows—an orphan in a society that doesn't care. If I can use my shadow to protect Bharat from external threats, then it's a life worth living."
After his agreement, Ravan was sent to a remote location for training. The montage that followed was both gripping and detailed, showcasing his intense preparation as a RAW agent. He learned how to wiretap phones, intercept messages using radio frequencies, and operate covertly. He was also taught multiple languages and trained in understanding diverse cultures.
However, the training wasn't all about technical and physical expertise. Ravan was introduced to RAW's harsh protocols, which left him both shocked and intrigued. A senior trainer explained the consequences if an agent was caught in foreign territory:
"If you are captured, you will be declared a terrorist by your own country or officially reported dead. There will be no medals, no honors—only silence."
The episode ended with Ravan staring at the vast training camp, the weight of the decision he had made finally sinking in.
Suresh and Ramesh sat in stunned silence as the credits rolled.
"These protocols…" Suresh muttered. "They're so brutal. But I guess that's the reality of being a spy. The stakes are too high to allow any loose ends."
Ramesh nodded, his admiration for Ravan's character growing. "He's carrying the weight of an entire nation on his shoulders, and yet he doesn't flinch. That's what makes him so compelling."
Without hesitation, Ramesh hit the play button for the fourth episode.

The fourth episode picked up with Ravan completing his training. He was now a full-fledged RAW agent, ready to step into the shadows for Bharat.
During a briefing, he was reminded of one crucial rule: "Never use your real name when reporting. You are a ghost. You do not exist."
With this in mind, Ravan chose his codename: Shadow.
The next scenes chronicled Ravan's missions over the next two years. Operating within Bharat, he tracked criminal networks, gathered intelligence, and reported crucial information to the government. His analytical skills and sharp intelligence made him an exceptional agent, completing ten missions with a flawless success rate.
The episode ended with Ravan being handed a new assignment, one described as his most dangerous yet. For the first time in his career, he was being sent outside Bharat—to Russia. The mission was top-secret, and its significance surpassed anything he had undertaken before.
Suresh leaned forward, his interest piqued. "What could be so important that they're sending him to Russia?"
Ramesh clicked the next episode, eager to find out.

The fifth episode opened with Ravan reading the mission details. Reports indicated that Russia might be conducting nuclear testing in violation of international agreements. However, there was no solid evidence to confirm this. Ravan's mission was to gather proof, which could then be presented to other nations to prevent further nuclear advancements.
Disguised as a tourist, Ravan arrived in Russia. The episode showed him exploring the country, blending in effortlessly, and trying to pick up any clues about the rumored nuclear activities. However, after ten days of surveillance, he found no leads.
Frustrated but determined, Ravan decided to change his approach. Instead of attempting a risky infiltration of the suspected nuclear testing site—he was no movie hero to fight guards with his bare hands—he devised a more practical plan.
Ravan began observing the personnel leaving the testing site. For five days, he followed individuals, studying their routines and behavior. Finally, he identified his target: a man who frequently visited a barber shop in the city.
In a brilliantly subtle move, Ravan collected a strand of hair left behind at the shop and sent it to a lab for analysis. The results confirmed the presence of radioactive material, providing the proof Ravan needed to validate the suspicions.
As Ravan prepared to send the test results back to Bharat, he contacted his base. However, the response he received chilled him to the bone.
"Code Red," the voice on the other end said before abruptly disconnecting.
The episode ended on a tense cliffhanger, leaving Suresh and Ramesh wide-eyed.

"Code Red?" Suresh repeated, his voice filled with curiosity and concern. "What does that even mean?"
Ramesh was equally perplexed but impressed. "Whatever it means, it's not good. But man, Ravan's character is just so practical. He doesn't do any over-the-top heroics, and that makes him so believable."
Suresh nodded. "Yeah, unlike Bollywood heroes who would storm into the base, take down hundreds of guards with their fists, and walk out unscathed. This feels real."
"The writing is so tight," Ramesh added. "The way he connected the dots and used something as simple as a hair sample to prove radiation exposure—that's pure genius."
They sat in silence for a moment, both fully engrossed in the story and eager to see what came next.
"This show," Suresh finally said, breaking the silence, "might just be the best thing to happen to Bharat's OTT platform."
Ramesh grinned. "Let's not waste time. Next episode?"
"Next episode," Suresh agreed, leaning back as the screen flickered to life once more.
