Vikram takes the next class on demolitions and the right use of dynamite. Vikram says that Commandoes need to befriend dynamite. Dynamite, used properly, can remove any obstacle from their path. Vikram takes a class on bridge demolition and says that a bridge can be destroyed by attacking spans, gears and abutments. But this triggers a painful memory for Vikram. Vikram is relieved from duty, and he heads home, and meets Kiran on the way.
Vikram ends up spending the afternoon with Kiran. Some years ago, Vikram was leading an attack on a bridge that was captured by the enemy. The Army was working in 4 squads. Vikram was leading the engineering squad, whose job was to disable the dynamite placed on the bridge, so that the other squads could then attack and reclaim it. The dynamite was controlled by a single trigger in the command location of the enemy. Constable Kalyan Singh was part of Vikram's squad and was an expert in demolitions.
Kalyan has 2 sisters who are both married. His elder brother Jagtap was martyred in the last war. Kalyan had volunteered to go in place of Vikram. Kalyan says that Vikram is a guest in their region and if he is injured or killed, it will bring disrepute to the platoon. Vikram is impressed with Kalyan's selflessness.
The assault on the bridge starts early in the morning. Vikram's squad successfully cuts the master trigger to the dynamite on the bridge and the machine guns nests near the bridge are neutralized as well. But in the crossfire, Vikram is hit by a bullet. Kalyan sees this and goes back to the bridge to rescue Vikram. Kalyan Singh carries Vikram on his back to safety. But then, Kalyan is himself shot in the back by enemy fire. Kalyan falls dead in front of Vikram.
Vikram tells Kiran that Kalyan sacrificed his own life to save Vikram. Vikram says that after recovering he had gone to Kalyan's home in his village. Kalyan had left behind 2 old parents and a widow wife with a young son. Vikram faced the family and told them that their son died bravely to sacrifice his own life to save Vikram.
