Reading this as suggesting a spade lead, you lead 2spade to partner's king and declarer's queen. Partner switches to a low diamond, won by declarer with the ace. Declarer leads the heartJ which you win and play diamondQ, forcing out declarer's king as partner plays the nine. Declarer leads the clubJ covered by clubQ and won by dummy's ace. Declarer now plays a heart to his King and a third heart.

You are going to have to find three discards - what will they be?
