Let's be clear about one thing. The whole first season of The Freelancer has not been made available on Disney+ Hotstar. Four episodes have already been made available, and it appears that the remaining ones will follow at a later time.
Why Did An Explosion Happen In Raqqa?
All of Avinash's information is sent to an ISIS sleeper cell in Morocco by one of the commanders of the ISIS branch in Syria. When Mohsin downloads the photo Aliya had sent him, Avinash is able to access every piece of data on Mohsin's PC. Avinash provides the CIA with this information, and they effectively assemble a squad to track and monitor the seven available phone lines while keeping track of the ones they'll be switching to. As expected by Avinash, the family members receive their original phones back, but Avinash instructs Aliya to continue using the secret phone she has been using to communicate with him instead.
Why? If Aliya uses her old phone to work against ISIS, they would find out and probably punish her, according to Avinash, who believes that they have bugged those phones. With the updated family's numbers and coordinates, Avinash meets with the CIA once more. They have a brief conversation about the specifics of the extraction, which is still being planned. As a result, Avinash begs the CIA for further tracking software that can be installed on the family members' phones.
As a result, Avinash begs the CIA for further tracking software that can be installed on the family members' phones. Avinash sends Aliya the CIA's GIF, which must be played by the user in order for the CIA to be able to monitor them. The aforementioned head of the ISIS cell in Syria discusses the need to protect a pilot and their family, the Malaysian family's alleged contribution of large sums of money to the uprising, and the importance of children to their cause.
Aliya and Mohsin travel to Raqqa with Khalid and Asar after The Freelancer Part 1 ends. Khalid and Asar enter the bazaar's busiest area and blow themselves up as Mohsin and Aliya head to the roofs of the building. This appears to be Khalid and Asar's method of demonstrating their fidelity to the faith and the goals of ISIS. It also illustrates how radicalization can have negative impacts and how an apparently normal household can come undone.
In actuality, the showrunners are making an effort to incite dread and paranoia through entertainment because they believe that, given the widening gaps between communities and nations, we don't have enough of it. Neeraj Pandey's shoddy storytelling just serves to highlight his lack of concern for The Freelancer's potential to influence vulnerable minds. He only wants to profit by riding the current tide of prejudiced storytelling.
