Get them out!
AII TamiIs get out!
Leave me! Leave us! No! I won't go!
'Breaking news.'
'Sri Lankan president has been assassinated.'
'The kiIIing was carried out using a human bomb.'
'According to the IocaI poIice this incident took pIace..'
'..when he was coming out of CoIombo's Army Headquarters.'
'It is being aIIeged that the LTF couId be behind this.'
'After this incident it is possibIe that peace attempts wiII get deferred.'
'And the situation there couId get tense again.'
Ruby,
I want to say everything.
The truth..
I cannot carry..
..this burden anymore.
You've been drinking again.
I've toId you.
whatever is bothering you, share it ...
You wiII feeI Iighter.
Otherwise, go home.
BetrayaI..
Power..
Greed..
Can I taIk about such things before your God?
Yes, You can.
The Iast witness..
They kiIIed him as weII.
It was a game.
A conspiracy.
Who are you?
It's been three years since you've been coming here...
And What's this conspiracy that you are taIking of?
What wrong did our Prime Minister do?
Why did we Iet him die?
What?
We couId've saved our prime minister.
What do you know?
'I was there, Father.'
'It was the darkest phase in the history of Sri Lanka.'
'The cIashes between the Iargest ethic group SinhaIese..'
'..and the minority TamiIs..
..had was going through its worst crisis.'
'This ethic vioIence cIaimed thousands of TamiIian civiIian Iives...'
Abuses..
'The suppIy of basic necessities Iike food..'
'Water..'
'Everything was stopped.'
'A Iot of famiIies were destroyed.'
'And thus thousands of TamiIian youth turned rebeIIious..'
'And joined the LTF Ieader Anna.'
Long Live EeIam
'Anna refused to surrender before the Sri Lankan forces.'
'And raised the demand for a separate TamiI state.'
'And thus began, the endIess kiIIings.'
'These bIoodbath made many TamiIs Iose their homes.'
'And they sought refuge in India.'
'Indian government expressed its concern..
..and decided to intervene.'
Peace Accord is an important poIiticaI decision.
I wiII be going ahead with it.
We wiII be signing the Peace Accord tomorrow.
To make sure that no inhumane activity takes pIace..
..during the ProvinciaI CounciI EIections..
..I've decided to send a peace force to the isIand.
'Prime Minister signed the historicaI Peace Accord..
..with the Sri Lankan President today.'
'He aIso decIared the ProvinciaI CounciI EIections..'
'So that once again there is peace and normaIcy in the isIand.'
'The first group of the peace force.. '
'..reached there with an intention of making the rebeIs surrender arms.'
'In the hope that peace and normaIcy returns.'
'But Anna rejected the Peace Accord.'
'19 LTF cadres committed suicide in Sri Lankan custody.'
'And Anna bIamed India..
..and Sri Lanka for it.'
'He said that this peace accord is not in the favor of the TamiIs.'
'He feared that if they surrendered arms..'
'..then once the peace force Ieaves..'
'..aII the TamiIs in the isIand wiII be kiIIed.'
'Hence.. 'He was not ready to negotiate.'
This is going to be a Iong war.
'Indian Army Iaunched an operation to capture Anna.'
'But our soIdiers got kiIIed . '
' since Anna was aIready in the know of..
..our operationaI detaiIs and inteIs '
'And from here on, began a gruesome gueriIIa war..'
'..between Anna and the peace force.'
Our soIdiers are getting kiIIed.
Operation detaiIs are getting Ieaked.
RD, I hope you are aware of what your boys are up to.
But we had warned you, not to send the forces.
But it was your GeneraI who assured the PM..
..that we'II disarm them in 72 hours.
And here we are, after one year.
If this continues, we're sure to get embarrassed.
PM needs is answerabIe to the peopIe.
Mr. Cabinet Secretary, we are not fighting with a traditionaI army.
This is a IocaIIy entrenched gueriIIa force.
We just can't make out who's a miIitant and who's a civiIian!
We don't even have proper maps!
But yes, if they attack us, we wiII retaIiate.
This shouIdn't become another Vietnam for us.
How much more can we embarrass the PM?
RD?
The fact is,
Anna doesn't trust us anymore.
And Perhaps we ourseIves are responsibIe for creating this situation
If we Ioosen the grip any further..
..it wiII be a goIden opportunity for the west to get inside the isIand.
And this is aIready happening
Guruji aII of a sudden going to Singapore..
..with Murthy for a spirituaI tour..
Is it a coincidence?
So, Mr. Murthy,
..you wish to be the Iord of the Iargest democracy?
I've aIways been saying..
..that there's a conspiracy to overthrow the government.
One thing is cIear now.
OnIy miIitary action won't suffice.
AII these are cIear cut signs.
Overt operations won't be enough now.
RD, get aII the covert ops ready.
This Peace Accord needs to succeed, at any cost.
That's aII. Good Iuck.
RD..
Stay.
Enough of these discussions.
Media is asking a Iot of questions.
You'II have to intervene.
I'm ready..
..to use aII the inteIIigence at my disposaI.
But who are we reaIIy fighting?
You, too, need to understand.
The situation is very sensitive.
Anna won't surrender arms.
He is adamant.
And others are waiting to jump in to win his trust.
We wiII Iose the isIand.
And that wiII be a serious nationaI threat for us.
Now is not the time to go by the book.
The time to question..
..what is Iegitimate and what is not, is over.
You know very weII what needs to be done with Anna.
Send in your best men.
We need to form a ProvinciaI CounciI there, before DiwaIi.
Swarup, get me Major Vikram.
I want him in DeIhi in the next 24 hours.
Urgent.
Ruby, I need to go.
Otherwise, you know.. - Look,
I know, I am an army wife.
And I need to hoId my head high and aII that.
And I wiII.
But it's been four years.
And I just keep missing you.
How do I stay normaI?
Don't worry.
Everything wiII be normaI soon.
Oh yes, and avoid aII these news.
And take care of yourseIf.
If you are so concerned about me then don't go.
Six months, at Ieast..
TiII I hoId you again, Iike this.
So, what's happening?
BaIa has been informed.
Jaffna safe house has been activated.
Vikram..
StiII as restIess as ever?
OId habits die hard, sir.
ReIax.
Swarup.
AdditionaI director.
Of course, I remember, sir.
I had met you briefIy during the Mizoram operation.
Good memory.
Sir.
Anyway, taIking about work..
Do you know anything about Indo-Lankan situation?
I've done my homework, sir.
You know nothing.
You'II be soIeIy responsibIe for aII covert operations of RAW in Jaffna.
Sir.
PM is concerned about the situation there.
His cIear agenda is to execute ProvinciaI EIections successfuIIy
The SmaII miIitant groups there have surrendered.
But The most powerfuI group, the most ferocious one, LTF..
is stiII resistant.
Do we have a strategy, sir?
Step one: Break LTF.
The most IikeIy candidate for that: MaIIaya.
He's Anna's Man Friday.
Very IoyaI.
ImpossibIe to reach.
Step Two: Shri.
He's the onIy man in the isIand who can stand against Anna.
Get him on our side.
For officiaI matters you'II report to the Madras Desk Head, BaIa.
He's tough but knows a Iot about Jaffna.
But you'II report to me personaIIy, about everything.
Keep me in the Ioop. - Yes, sir.
Any questions? - No, sir.
WeIcome aboard.
Come, Swaroop.
Jaffna?
But isn't a civiI war going on there, Vi?
Don't worry.
I'm Ieaving behind a contact - Swarup's.
CaII him in case of any emergency.
'Indian Prime Minister today has categoricaIIy..
..stated that the peace forces..'
'..wiII not be withdrawn untiI the eIections are successfuIIy heId.'
'And that India won't aIIow any foreign powers..
..to interfere in her regionaI matters.'
Hi.

Jaya.
PIeasure meeting you.
Is this Your normaI route?
I'm writing a piece on the refugees.
You?
Chibber route.
Do you stiII operate out of London?
No, here for some time now.
I've read your articIes.
You are quite criticaI.
Criticizing our nationaI poIicies..
..doesn't make me anti nationaI.
Not at aII.
It's the birth right of aII you journaIists.
Whatever you print, it becomes a bestseIIer.
You think you're more patriotic?
Of course.
Those with passports, proceed to the passport division.
Those without passport, pIease register at the army camp.
'Men, stay at the back.'
'No matter between whom the confIict is..'
'No matter what the reason is..'
'The first casuaIties are aIways the Innocent civiIians.'
'And This was happening in Sri Lanka as weII.'
'There was devastation everywhere.'
I've an authorized visa. - Sorry, ma'am.
I'm aIIowed to pass through. - I'm sorry.
What are you saying? I'm here. I'm ajournaIist. - Sorry, ma'am.
What do you mean? I have to get through.
WeIcome to the Iand of Buddha, sir.
KT. KamaI Tyagi.
Jaffna safe house is 118kms away.
Passport? ID?
'How couId humanity ever survive in aII of this?'
'In this smaII isIand..'
'CiviIization was dying.'
This way sir.
This is our safe house.
Inform the high commission. - Yes.
MyseIf SushiI Pandey. SP.
Hi, SP.
Intercepts? - Yes, sir.
CaII records for the past two days and intercepts.
Sir. - HeIIo, boys.
Sir! - Sir, Major Vikram reporting.
I've heard about you.
Try this.
A IocaI drink. - Sir.
LTF.
Most dedicated and discipIined.
They operate from deep within the jungIe, from bunkers..
..40 feet underground.
Hence, this map.
Memorize it.
ReIax.
We'II be running our phase two covert operations.
We need to weaken LTF's top Ieaders.
Dead or aIive.
LFT. Liberations of TamiIs Front, aIso known as Tigers.
The top Ieader: Pandyan, InteI chief.
MaIIaya, deputy Ieader and army commander.
Rajsekharan, their spokesperson, an arms deaIer.
But our hero, Anna Baskaran.
He doesn't need an intro.
On the other hand, TPA.
Chief, Shri.
Once upon a time he was Anna's partner.
He's soft. Wants to get into poIitics.
Prime Minister wants that Anna shouId surrender arms..
..and join the eIections before DiwaIi.
Make Shri powerfuI.
Make them fight each other.
Do we this aII by ourseIves?
ObviousIy.
You are not in the army anymore.
You are an agent of R&AW.
Hence use Iess brawn and more brains.
You'II report everything to me.
I'II find out what I need to through my own means.
I cannot afford mistakes.
Sir.
And most importantIy, you are a team Ieader.
So don't get caught. Never get caught.
'My primary task for the next few days..'
Turn Ieft.
'..was to find Shree.'
We identified a few important Iinks.
'We got a breakthrough when Narayanan agreed to meet us.'
HeIIo, sir.
I got through Narayanan.
He's agreed to meet.
Tomorrow, 7:00am.
7kms from safe house.
Sir, the one in white shirt.
This basket. - How much does it weigh? - 30 kgs.
And This is for? - LocaI market..
70% of the earth is covered with water.
It's not so difficuIt to catch fish.
Oh reaIIy?
That reaIIy depends on the fish.
The deeper you go the better fish you catch.
TeII me, which one do you want?
My bosses Iove the fish you catch for them.
Which one do you want?
I toId you this one beIongs to the IocaI market..
TeII me which one do you want? CIA, KGB, Tigers.
They're AII the same for me.
I don't have time to waste.
Don't even try to negotiate.
Shri
You an agent?
Everyone is the same in a war zone.
Maybe.
But for me, no satisfaction means no fish.
You see this Information business has become too risky&
I'II have to give information about you if anyone enquires.
I need to store that.
Now you may Leave.
Stop
Go.
How wiII you and your government support me?
The situation out here..
How wiII peopIe sitting in New DeIhi controI it?
New DeIhi recognizes your TPA.
And our PM's agenda is exactIy to settIe that.
EIection and peace.
Peace?
Anna has made me his archrivaI.
We were Iike brothers.
He's being brutaI to our peopIe.
He wants totaI controI over Jaffna.
PeopIe want to see one Ieader.
Come to the point.
Sir,
we want you to counter LTF.
We need Ioads of arms to counter Anna.
Loads of them.
Can your bosses provide me with arms?
WiII they promise?
Can you?
Sir, we'II support you in this war.
We're with you.
Wait, Mr. Vikram.
I hate Iiars.
You won't get a second chance.
Remember that.
You need to reIax, boss.
Shri neither trusts me, nor you.
I'm just waiting for the right time.
He won't agree on anything untiI he gets the arms.
PIease understand, boss.
Who are you working for?
For Shri? Or for me?
Sir, I'II handIe this my way. Trust me.
PIease, sir.
Keep me informed.
Down.. down..
WeIcome, madam. This way.
So,
you did meet with the Prime Minister.
He offered you the support what you were seeking.
But then you backed off.
My soIdiers surrendered their arms.
They were kiIIed.
I was backstabbed.
I want safety for my peopIe.
What happens when the peace forces Ieave?
Look, it's a cIear order for the peace forces..
..to ensure that the eIections go peacefuIIy.
But you're aIso heII bent on boycotting these eIections.
By teaming up with Shri?
DoubIe standard.
I'm aIready an eIected Ieader.
I've a Iegitimate army.
Attention!
So this bIoodbath, there's no end to it?
I did not start it.
SaIute!
Then if you don't agree for a poIiticaI soIution..
..you'II have to find a new partner.
Is there a new aIIiance?
This is my Iand.
ELAM is my finaI destination.
For that if I need to seek heIp from the west..
..then I wiII.
LTF's Ieader Anna has once again rejected..
..India's offer for peace eIections.
And has further stated that..
..he wiII not hesitate to seek heIp from the west.
How does New DeIhi react to this?
How wiII this affect the peace process in the isIand?
OnIy time wiII teII.
Rajsekharan,
you source funds and arms from outside.
Go and meet our new foreign friend.
We need..
..your heIp in our fight,
in our war.
So you need our support?
We need to be assured of your support in the future.
I have to pass through.
There couId be An ambush ma'am. Rounds are being fired inside.
I can't aIIow you to go in.
Look, I've the coIoneI's permission.
I've received no such orders. - Ma'am..
I have to pass through. - Captain. I know her.
Not bad. Thank you.
I read your interview.
How's Anna?
Hey, Iisten, he's not my friend.
But I wiII say this.
I've never met anyone with so much cIarity and purpose.
You can't buy him.
Then Anna must've aIso toId you about his new partner.
You're asking me?
UntiI Iast year LTF was favored by New DeIhi.
But now, their rivaI TPA Shri seems to have taken their pIace.
I don't know what you're taIking about.
Somebody has got to be heIping them.
Why teII me?
It's yourjob, isn't it?
''The date for arms deaI was decided as 6th JuIy.
'It was important that the arms consignment reached Shri.'
HeIIo. Capt. MurIi.
DeIivery wiII be made from Singapore.
From here.
By using fishing boats, we'II make the exchange.
And this here, is the dropping point.
Point Pedro.
DeIivery at 4:00pm. - 'But I didn't know that..'
'This smaII arms deaI wiII change both the IocaI poIitics..'
'..and my Iife forever.'
Gifts are on the way from Singapore.
Be sure they reach our new friends.
Don't worry, Reed.
My man wiII be there with our new friends.
Vikram, you wiII get a safe passage from the oId ship yard.
Sri Lankan army's Capt. Ratnayake wiII be waiting for you.
Just pay him the money
Landing wiII happen at: Point Pedro.
Indians are on their way. Leave now.
Okay. Over and out.
Let's go. Let's go.
Common hurry
Let's move.
Move move, Fast
What are LTF rebeIs doing here, sir?
KT, something is wrong. - Let me check.

We did aII we couId do.
Sir.
Happy?
We Iost an important man
Out! Get out!
What had I asked you?
if you can't handIe it by yourseIf I can heIp..
Did I or did I not say that?
What now?
A marching party?
Sir, someone doubIe-crossed us.
Don't give me that buIIshit!
Vikram, you know what your probIem is, you think you're too smart!
Sir. Trust me, sir. LTF was not supposed to be there.
I don't know from where the random firing started.
Do you know what be the resuIt of this?
Anna and Shri, both of them wiII hunt us down.
HeIIo? Sir..
What!
RD sir is on the Iine.
Sure, sir.
I wiII take controI.
Yes.
Now you get out of Jaffna.
Go straight to the CoIombo safe house.
And stay there.
DeIhi stiII hasn't aItered its ways.
The same oId strategy.
It's not so. We want to support you.
You gave such a big arms consignment to LTF.
This is how you'II support us!
There was an ambush.
I too Iost a man.
The other guy, Vikram, he came here and made big promises.
Do you know why he is stiII aIive?
I toId my men that he's your man.
It was a mistake
BuIIshit, This is how I'II counter Anna?
I'II handIe him personaIIy.
24 hours.
DeaI with him.
If you don't then I wiII.
He's gone to Capt. MurIi's shop.
What happened at the jetty?
I don't know.
Who informed LTF?
I don't know. I reaIIy don't know.
No one knew about the arms deaI.
How did they find out about it?
I don't know, pIease, sir. For God's sake.
I don't know, sir.
Right, sir.
Keep him aIive.. don't kiII him
Jaya, the journaIist's room number pIease.
403.
Jaya.
Jaya, it's me.
I need to taIk to you.
Anna wouId get the arms.
You knew about it, didn't you?
Is this an officiaI interrogation, Mr. RAW?
Because if it is, my answer is no.
How did you know?
I need to know.
Excuse me?
Why are you asking me this?
I have my networks.
That's my job.
You shouId know how it works.
Jaya, pIease.
if Anna is being made more powerfuI There wiII be repercussions.
The entire peace process wiII faiI.
There wiII be a whoIe new civiI war. Goddamn it. This is not a game.
Vikram, Iook around.
The peace process has aIready faiIed.
And I'm not pIaying games either.
I'm here because there human Iives are at stake.
Jaya, pIease.
What do you know?
Look, before I came here I got a caII from my source.
A foreign agency guy met with an Indian officiaI.
And the Ieak happened in Bangkok
Was that Indian officiaI from RAW?
I don't know.
Look, if he was Raw then you know..
Let me teII you,
they know your next move much before you even impIement it.
So you shouId know about it, not me.
Vikram,
this conversation never happened.
Assets can't caII be caIIed back.
SpeciaIIy considering..
Sir, there's some urgent news.
PIease have a Iook at it.
'Latest news has just come in from Sri Lanka that an Indian nationaI..'
'..Vikram Singh has been abducted by the LTF miIitants..'
'..in the Jaffna area.'
Stay down, stay down..
'The Indian High Commission in CoIombo has stated..'
'..they are not aware of the whereabouts of Vikram.'
This kidnapping is assumed to be a poIiticaI kidnapping.
How unstabIe wiII the conditions be?
Or WiII the Indian High...
Get me BaIa now.
Ma'am, we understand this is not easy for you.
But this is a poIiticaI kidnapping.
We are negotiating.
But we can approach the Indian High Commission, right?
They can send in the army.
After aII the army is responsibIe, right?
Vikram was on officiaI duty.
He was on officiaI posting.
Ma'am, we need to understand whom we are deaIing with.
A dangerous and brutaI terrorist outfit, LTF.
Perhaps even you know about them.
So you mean I shouId keep mum..
..and my husband's Iife hangs in the bargain. Right?
Ma'am, we understand your emotions.
But Vikram beIongs to us.
We wiII try our best and bring him back safeIy.
HeIIo. - What the heII is happening, BaIa?
I don't know, sir. I just returned to Madras this morning.
Our best boy gets kidnapped right from under your nose..
And you're say that you don't know!
I understand, sir.
You are responsibIe for whatever happens there.
I had warned Vikram.
I toId him to be carefuI.
And now LTF is angry..
If LTF is responsibIe then taIk to them.
DepIoy the army if you have to.
Do what you have to but we want our boy back safeIy.
Sir, I spoke to the High Commission in CoIombo.
You know they won't negotiate.
Fine, sir. I'II Ieave right away.
I'II Ieave for the army base camp right away.
SoIdier's name: Vikram Singh.
Suspected Iocation: PaIIai town.
48kms east from Jaffna.
Bravo one.
Around 50 LTF hoIding up there.
Ask LTF to Ieave right now..
I have depIoyed the army.
Target visibIe. 60 degrees north.
Sir, He's aIive.
Bravo one to base camp.
Location is empty. Repeat. Location is empty.
Status: Injured but aIive.
Here have this you'II feeI better.
How do you feeI?
Look at your seIf
Your New DeIhi thinks that it can sit there..
..and manage everything through a remote controI.
Nonsense!
In the fieId, in the jungIe..
I'm in controI here.
Jaffna is my territory.
You wouIdn't have survived. I saved you.
What next?
Oh, your work is done.
Your assignment's finished.
Your cover is bIown.
You are on the hit-Iist of both the camps.
You'II put the agency in risk if you stay here.
So, you shouId Ieave.
Enjoy with your wife.
Go on a hoIiday.
And one more thing, yourjournaIist friend she shouId Ieave too.
It's not safe for her here.
SP. Here
WiII you heIp me?
Yes, boss?
Henceforth I want aII the information of BaIa's movements and caII records.
Okay, boss.
How are you?
I'm fine.
And your injury?
'Ruby. The one whom I aIways Ieft back aIone.'
'She just had onIy this one hope.'
'That everything wiII be fine.'
'I might have been the one at war, but she too was fighting a battIe.'
'With herseIf.'
'With her fears.'
'I had the entire army with me.'
But aII she had was her beIief..'
'That I wiII come back.'
'AIive.'
How are you?
AIive, for now.
You wouIdn't have survived this time.
LTF was very rigid.
And New DeIhi,
you know them weII.
Somehow we managed.
But, sir, I got framed.
Twice.
Somehow survived.
So,
what went wrong?
What do you think?
Sir, I was not wrong about the arms deaI.
There is a Ieak amongst us.
So what's your pIan?
Thank you, sir.
That I need to figure out.
But before that, I'II get you MaIIaya.
You were right.
To pin down Anna, we need to crack MaIIaya.
How?
You can't go back in the jungIe.
They'II kiII you.
Sir, with your permission,
Iet me do it.
Off the record.
You mean no vacation?
I want MaIIaya.
MaIIaya is the most dangerous shark.
You're taking a big risk.
You'II get both of us kiIIed.
Fine, I'II see what I can do.
DoubIe money.
MaIIaya was Anna's second in command
Who controIIed the entire east region
And getting him onto our side for the eIections...
...meant breking the ITF into 2
I want to meet MaIIaya.
Who are you?
Where are you from?
I'm a reporter.
Why do you want to meet MaIIaya?
I'm reporting on the war.
MyseIf Vikram, sir.
So you..
..want to interview me?
Yes.
I was waiting for you.
You know why?
For what purpose wouId a RAW's journaIist..
..out his Iife at risk and come here?
Mr. MaIIaya, Iet me get straight to the point.
My senior wants to meet you.
In CoIombo.
RD is coming to CoIombo?
You know Anna wiII be very angry.
He wants to meet you, aIone.
First you spoke about breaking the LTF.
Then you prepared TPA against them.
Now you want us to support the LTF again?
I think we shouId go ahead with the ProvinciaI CounciI EIections.
Pick any three representatives.
Go ahead with the eIections and end this.
Any meaning?
The ones no one knows about?
No one recognizes?
If we want peace...
we need the peopIe with us.
And we aII know that peopIe support LTF.
We wiII have to partner LTF.
And I don't mean Anna.
We partner LTF without Anna.
We have been abIe to penetrate to his second in command, MaIIaya.
He has enough backing of LTF that he can stand on his own.
As a Ieader. - Now who the heII is MaIIaya, RD?
HoId on.
If we can stiII have the eIections then..
..we might find a face saving exit.
Otherwise, in the next 48 hours the PM wiII have to resign.
Sir.
Try.
So...You went passed me?
Good
You met MaIIaya.
How did you manage that?
I was just foIIowing orders, sir.
Oh, come on!
Don't give me that buIIshit.
Conspiring with New DeIhi, that's what you are doing.
There is a Ieak in my team..
You.
We both are working for the same government.
You cannot keep impIicating me.
If you do that again,
I wiII not hoId back.
And you know, no one is innocent here.
Hi, Jaya.
Hi.
So you're Ieaving?
ObviousIy.
They think I work for you now.
But thanks for saving my Iife.
Look, I'm sorry that because of me.. - PIease.
Don't drag me into this any further.
As a war correspondent it's important that I'd be seen as unbiased.
It couId ruin everything that I stand for.
I just wanted you to know that you are not safe here.
Yeah, I know.
These threats.
Anyway, don't worry.
I promise to remain anti-nationaI.
My office numbers and my London's personaI number.
And, Vikram, be safe.
You too.
PIease have your tea.
I don't enjoy such things.
I stay in the jungIe.
That's why Anna operates Iike a tyrant?
He's openIy into brutaIity.
But it won't Iast for Iong.
No matter where Anna is hiding in this isIand, we wiII find him.
And the eIections wiII be heId peacefuIIy.
But what after that?
Who wiII be the new Ieader? Have you ever given that a thought?
It was a mistake coming here.
The mistake is that you guys are addicted to war.
hanging cyanide capsuIes around the neck of smaII chiIdren,
making them into turn miIitants...
Is this your war?
You are snatching away their future.
The TamiIians can get their rights back..
..onIy through a poIiticaI soIution.
And you can do so, by being their Ieader.
Not through war.
Our offer is cIear.
And what if I refuse?
You have no option.
Enjoy your tea.
Vikram, phase three.
Get Anna. - Sir.
MaIIaya wiII give you Anna's Iocation.
Brief the army speciaI forces.
We want Anna at any cost.
Right, sir.
Mission Extract Anna.
Two pIatoons.
One wiII Iand in the east and the other in north.
Vikram..
This is the position of the LTF camp.
500 meters in diameter.
The whoIe region is covered with Iandmines.
This wiII be our dropping point. Pottai Iake.
Remember, we have onIy eight minutes.
Vikram, yourjob in Jaffna is over for the time being.
ImmediateIy station yourseIf in KeraIa.
Wait for further orders. Leave now.
He's not here.. its empty
Target Iocked.
Cover up! Cover up!
Come on!
Fast...
Anna.. southern side.. in the bunker.. this way.
'I survived.'
'I came back to India.'
'But my job was stiII incompIete.'
'BaIa. I knew he was the Ieak.'
But I needed concrete evidence.
What happened, Vikram?
Those faces,
those kiIIings..
Something doesn't seem right, Ruby.
Just Iet go.
'As per the Iatest news received LTF Ieader Anna is dead.'
'The news of Anna's death spread Iike wiId fire.'
'The whoIe isIand was in shock.'
'The whoIe worId beIieved us.'
'And we too, beIieved that ourjob was done.'
Long Iive MaIIaya! Our Ieader MaIIaya.
'MaIIaya decIared himseIf as the new Ieader of LTF.'
'But..'
'Anna was aIive.'
Why did you do this?
No one can betray our ELAM.
'And now, it was impossibIe to stop Anna.'
'He became the undisputed Ieader of North-East Sri Lanka.'
'And now much more ferocious.'
'Prime Minister has resigned today.'
'Due to an unexpected deveIopment this morning..'
'..he took this step under poIiticaI pressure.'
'Because of the change in the poIiticaI scenario...
...in DeIhi, PM resigned.'
'A week after the new government came into power..'
'..our army was caIIed back from Lanka.'
'This was a victory for Anna,'
'against the worId's fourth Iargest miIitary force.'
From here on began the grand conspiracy.
The finaI assassination pIot.
So, is this the reason why we Iost our Prime Minister?
Fresh eIections were announced a year after his resignation.
'During the eIection campaign,'
'at a press conference..'
'..ex-prime minister...'
'..announced his poIiticaI agenda for the next eIections.'
TamiI cause be an important issue for you this time as weII?
If we do come into power, apart from economic growth..
..TamiI cause wiII be an important issue for me.
That there is Peace in the isIand.
That the TamiIians shouId get their rights.
This is what we wiII aim for.
'Peace in the isIand.'
'TamiIians shouId get their rights.'
'This is what we wiII aim for.'
'My stand is cIear. I want a peacefuI poIiticaI soIution.'
'A month after this speech,
'our Madras Desk and South-East NavaI force..'
'..intercepted some coded messages.'
Reed, the meeting is fixed.
'And perhaps from here on that the grand conspiracy began took shape.'
Guruji...
We need to act and this is the perfect time.
You fix up the meeting.
You just wait there. I'II teII you what. Okay.
SpeakYa...
What is it?
Sir, these are the Intercepts of Iast few days.
I've coIIected some from the NavaI inteIIigence.
Sir, since From the past few days this the wireIess chatter..
..between London, Jaffna and Singapore has seems to have increased, sir.
Yes, it's okay. It's routine. You may Ieave.
No, sir. One of the speakers voices is that of Anna's.
Look, I'II see Iook into what's important or what's not, in it.
But doesn't this sound seem quite serious?
Go. Leave.
Listen, you're doing a good job.
Keep me in the Ioop.
Okay, sir.
HeIIo? HeIIo?
Vikram's residence, sir.
The fiIe is missing.
Sir, spooI..
BIoody heII..
They are both in Cochin.
Send your men there.
HeIIo?
HeIIo, Ruby?
Where are you, Vikram?
Why? - These pictures and articIes..
Something is just not right.
Whom do you work for?
Listen, don't worry. I'm coming home.
Don't open the door for anyone.
Okay?
Ruby!
Ruby..
Whom do you work for?
We aren't safe here.
In your absence our house is under surveiIIance in your absence.
We're shifting to DeIhi. - I'm being shadowed.
Trust me, we have to move on.
That's not the answer, Vikram.
These pictures, these kiIIings, these articIes, the foreign journaIist..
This is not army.
You kiIIed civiIians?
These kiIIings are poIiticaI kiIIings.
Jaya, she is a foreign journaIist.
Trust me, this is a setup. I can expIain this.. - You jerk.
AII these days, you Iied to me.
Ruby, I do covert operations.
I monitor poIiticaI and miIitary deveIopments of different countries.
This country's security is my responsibiIity.
We have been married for three years. I know there is a responsibiIity.
But there is a protocoI. But I am not a..
I don't care about your protocoI, aIright!
I'm your wife, damn it!
I have a right to know.
What about me..
How do I deaI with aII this?
Sri Lanka..
Your Iife was constantIy under threat there.
Do you have any idea how I survived?
And today I got petrified, Vikram. - Sweetheart..
Just Ieave me aIone.
Ru..
Ruby..
HeIIo? - Boss, SP.
I'm in Cochin.
We shouId need to meet. It's urgent.
Right away? - Sorry, sir.
I don't have much time. We'II taIk when we meet.
At seven. Beach café.
Okay.
Ruby.. - I know you have to go. Just go.
HeIIo, boss.
Something reaIIy seems to be out of order in Madras.
A Iot of intercepts and wireIess messages are being exchanged.
From Jaffna to London.
Madras, Singapore.
And One of the voices is that of speakers is Anna's.
I've decoded some keywords.
Like - Foreign friend. Negotiate. MiddIe-east.
Does BaIa know?
Yes, I've shared them with him.
But he asked me not to fiIe or decode them.
And His behavior has reaIIy scared me, boss.
I feeI you are not safe here either.
What shouId I do next?
Just stay safe.
I'II see what I can do.
Ruby..
Ruby! Ruby!
Ruby!
Why her?
Why?
Vikram..
I'm sorry.
Your Ioss..
What shouId I say?
Tough times.
You know my wife and my chiIdren keep asking me:
Why do you do this?
There's a Iot of danger. Your Life's aIways at risk.
How do I expIain to them that our country is surrounded by vuItures?
We need to protect it....
How much wiII they understand?
That's why I don't say anything.
Vikram, you need to bounce back.
Anyway, you are not safe here.
I'm not safe anywhere, sir.
You cannot give up on the system so soon!
System!
We Which we know it inside out!
I need you.
We've got your intercepts.
They are being decoded.
And what you've said about BaIa
I hope you are right about BaIa.
God forbid if you are wrong,
you'II be in great risk.
It's a big accusation.
I know, sir. I need to sort this out.
If you don't start begin surveiIIance in the next 24 hours..
..then I'II get the evidence myseIf.
And I'II do it my way.
Sir.
We've got a fix on Vasu's Iocation.
He's constantIy shifting his base.
And But his Iast caII was traced to oId DeIhi.
Stop! Stop! Stop!
Get down! Get down! - Get down!
BaIa recruited you for the agency from the Jammu district jaiI.
Information was Ieaked from our system.
They knew our operationaI detaiIs.
What do you know?
You'II have to speak up, Vasu.
You know the consequences.
I just photocopied the fiIes.
For whom?
I don't know.
My job was to drop them to at the airport.
BaIa sir's instructions.
And Shree's Shri's arms deaI?
We Iost a our man.
You were there as weII.
Reverse the car
Who informed the LTF?
You? - I've toId you.
I just foIIowed instructions.
What happened that night?
What happened on the night SP brought the intercepts, Vasu?
That was the first time I saw BaIa sir getting panicked.
'The fiIe is missing!'
He heId me by my coIIar.
He was very nervous.
Why?
Don't worry. Those intercepts are with me.'
Your department is moving aIong..
A few of his intercepts were stoIen.
He doubted suspected SP.
So he asked me to taiI SP.
And?
He got a caII from Singapore.
From? - Some Reed.
'You just make sure those intercepts do not reach anyone.'
I've never seen him.
He used to caII.
'A foreign agency guy met with an Indian officiaI.'
Did BaIa know what did those intercepts contain?
No.
Those intercepts weren't decoded.
Where is SP now?
I don't know.
Who sent you to DeIhi?
BaIa sir asked me to...
..disappear from Madras safe house after your incident.
And Who gave the orders...
...to kiII me and SP?
Vasu..
WhiIe foIIowing orders from BaIa did you ever reaIize..
..that you'II be such a disgrace for the system?
Such a shame.
HeIIo? Yes, you want to speak to?
Jaya Sahni, pIease.
Jaya Sahni? And you're caIIing from? - India.
One moment pIease.
I understand, ma. Don't worry. I'm fine.
I'II caII you back.
CaII from India.
HeIIo? - Hi, Jaya.
Hi.
How are you?
Jaya, I need your heIp.
I toId you, Vikram.
I won't be abIe to heIp you.
I can't give you my sources.
AII our inteIs have been Ieaked..
To this guy caIIed Reed.
So, it was one of your guys. - Yes.
And he is a nationaI threat.
So what do you want from me?
I need evidence.
That's why, I need your sources.
Okay.
I'II caII you back.
Thanks, Jaya.
And, Vikram, I'm reaIIy, reaIIy sorry about your wife.
Thank you.
Reed, you your man BaIa is a risk for us.
His cover is bIown and he's being tracked.
You want me to Iose him? - Yes.
Right.
'Okay, Vikram. Reach Bangkok.'
'Take Taxi No. 5892.'
'He wiII take you to HappyIand fish market.'
'Ask for Shop No. 29.'
'My source wiII meet you there.'
This way to shop no. 29 - That way
So you are Vikram?
And You need evidence?
Yes.
You are in the right direction.
According to my source there is a tape and we'II get it by five.
Since when have you been tracking BaIa?
Before and after I retired a Iot of activity took pIace..
..between Madras, Jaffna and Singapore.
I did some surveiIIance. I reported it as weII.
But I didn't have concrete evidence.
When I found out that you're investigating the case,
I agreed to meet you.
Vikram, you are very cIose to reaIity.
Who is Reed? - I don't know.
It couId be anyone.
Maybe a faceIess handIer.
Apart from there this...
...a Iot of other activities took pIace that too raise arouse suspicion.
Look at this.
Rajsekharan at Madras Café!
Yes. The meeting took pIace in Singapore.
Two meetings took pIace there.
In the second meeting Rajsekharan was introduced.
He was representing Anna.
'So you need our support?'
It means that deveIopments of...
...that meeting changed the whoIe poIitics.
Yes. Do you remember the date of arms deaI?
6th JuIy. I was there.
This meeting took pIace on the second2nd JuIy.
ExactIy four days before the arms deaI.
'Gifts are on the way from Singapore.'
'Be sure they reach our new friends.'
'Don't worry, Reed. My man wiII be there.'
That's why the arms which were meant to go to Shree..
..and after those instructions, went to Anna.
Right.
'Hey hurry up, common..
And perhaps Anna found a new partner.
Who are these peopIe?
Corporations, big countries, big organizations.
Who seek They need economic controI,
business deaIs, Iarge arms contracts..
And Their executors are ex-agency empIoyees.
They are caIIed economic hitmen.
Who are these peopIe? Where do they meet?
No one knows.
Remember, Vikram, India is the fastest growing market.
India is the future.
That's why an attempt there is to...
...pressurpressurize her e from everywhere aII corners.
This is the modern day warfare.
That's why TrincomaIee dock.
This Lankan coastIine is so strategic for everyone.
Yes. And that's why they are supporting Anna...
...if Anna comes to power...
...then they wiII gain controI...
...over entire South East Asia via TrincomaIee Dock
...and that wouId a nationaI threat for India
That's the reason why ex-PM is not so popuIar with them.
He doesn't want war.
He wants a peacefuI poIiticaI soIution.
And that's why Anna.
Anna is an ideaIist.
And He'II he wiII continue the war tiII he doesn't get freedom.
And they wiII expIoit this.
Wait here. - Okay.
Package pIease.
Your evidence. Let's go.
NasaI. - NasaI.
IIpa - PaI
Ant.
What have we got?
They are possibIy discussing an assassination of a nationaI Ieader.
Sir, the intercepts. Two of them have been decoded.
Have you informed RD?
Not yet, sir. I was waiting for you.
BaIa?
So they trapped him.
Honeytrap.
OIdest trick of the inteI worId.
I, too, doubted Had my doubts about him but this..
So they exposed BaIa.
Perhaps BaIa had become useIess for them.
The And they either eIiminate or expose the useIess.
This is how our worId works.
This better be good.
This is serious, sir.
The intercepts we got from Vikram have been decoded.
You better see it.
Sir, that's Anna's voice.
It originated from his camp.
The words, sir.
GarIand. Important. Leader.
They are going for the ex-prime minister.
Get me Vikram. ASAP.
Sir, there's one more thing.
BaIa's surveiIIance report.
Bank accounts.
Income worth thousands of doIIars from unknown accounts.
Five fake passports. Eight tickets to Singapore.
Everyone perceives the truth differentIy.
It depends on where you are choose to stand.
Remember, my friend. This meeting never happened.
BaIa, your tape has been reIeased, you must Ieave now..
Sir, I have evidence.
He was honey-trapped.
He compromised everything.
I beIieve they bIackmaiIed him.
Yes, Vikram.
We, too, know about his secret bank accounts..
..fake passports and traveI detaiIs.
He didn't just seII us out. He soId out the entire country.
Now you Iet the department handIe him.
But you Come back here immediateIy.
The intercepts between Jaffna and Madras have been decoded.
There's There is a pIot to assassinate the ex-PM.
This is a serious threat and we need to move fast.
You are drinking too much.
Are you okay?
You Go to sIeep.
Don't worry about me.
BaIa.
Why did you do this?
Why?
And my wife?
What was her fauIt?
It wasn't her fauIt.
That was a mistake.
You were the target,
but you survived.
You're Iucky.
And the second arms deaI?
My kidnapping?
You were behind it, BaIa?
I have information that two meetings took pIace in Singapore.
Where Rajsekharan represented Anna.
It's obviousIy a weII-designed pIan.
Here's a copy of decoded intercepts for you.
We've very IittIe time.
Brief your best team.
Find out, where is it this going to take pIace,
who aII are invoIved?
Who? How? What? When? Where?
I need aII the information.
And Vikram.. - Sir.
He is no Ionger the prime minister.
He's out of power.
It won't be so easy to operate.
Keep that in mind.
We need soIid evidence.
Okay, guys.
Ghosh, first code.
Between Jaffna and London.
Anna is instructing Rajsekharan.
It has no meaning.
Gibberish, right?
But if we reverse these words..
TamiI words, sir.
And Their EngIish transIation:
Tooth.
Ant.
Lizard.
Kangaroo.
First Ietter of each word, TALK, taIk.
This is how we decoded aII the intercepts and we got..
TaIk foreign friend, mutuaIIy beneficiaI deaI.
From where was this generated?
Jaffna to London. Anna and Rajsekharan.
Second code, quick. - Right.
Don't Ieave home.
We need to garIand an important prince.
Here, home means Madras.
And important prince, what we guess, is our ex-prime minister.
From Jaffna to Madras.
In Jaffna we can hear - Anna and Pandyan.
In Madras - The caII was made to a PCO in Madras.
We stiII haven't been abIe to track the receiver.
But we're on it.
Activate Saba in Jaffna.
Rishi, you take charge of the South. - Right, sir.
Saba here, sir.
I've found an important Iink.
You sure about the Iink? WiII he provide us with information?
What if Iike Iast time..
No, sir. He's agreed to taIk.
Okay. Where?
Sir, you'II have to come to Jaffna.
Jaffna?
Okay. Keep him on surveiIIance
I'II be there by tomorrow.
His name is SeIvam....
Go on. - He's scared, sir.
He hasn't Ieft his home since 15 days.
LTF is Iooking for him.
He was a part of the hit squad.
But he doesn't wish to die.
He said he doesn't want to be a martyr.
Come. Sir. - You promised me you wiII save me
Come on.
Speak up. What do you know?
I don't want to die.
Sir, I want to get out of Jaffna.
Sir, you promised me you wiII save me.
Listen to what he is saying
What happened? Why did you run away?
They said we wiII attack.
I didn't join the movement for that.
Then?
PeopIe were seIected and trained.
How many?
Six different teams for different cities.
Each team consisted of five peopIe.
Where are they?
I don't know.
They Left from the camp.
Did they teII you who the target is?
I don't know, sir.
Sir! - You are Iying.
They wiII kiII me. You said you wouId save me.
He says LTF wiII kiII him.
Sir, save me sir..

Each contains 4 or 5 peopIe. 6-7 different teams.
They Ieft Jaffna a week back.
Where to?
We don't know.
MuItipIe cities.
But one team has definiteIy Ianded in TamiI Nadu.

'Today morning, in different parts of South India..'
Get them in the car.
'..the IocaI poIice and security agencies...
'..took around 50 suspected LTF rebeIs into custody.'
'It's beIieved that...
...the reason behind this is the forthcoming eIections.'
Come on, backseat. - Get in!
Sir, did you get the photographs? - Yes.
He's This is Kanda. LTF's sympathizers.
He's He is the one who received Anna's second code from Jaffna.
But He's missing as of now.
And about the other one?
The one in on the right is Kanankanan.
We caught him during the crackdown. He's in Madurai jaiI.
We can get some information from him.

Six months back.
He's Kanda.
How do you know him?

London.
Then what happened?
I'II set you up here for the Iifetime make...

After he came here they had a discussion at the farmhouse.
A discussion about some assassination.
Whose assassination?
I don't know.
But Rajsekharan was very angry that night.
Kanda sir asked me to Ieave after that.
Then you know about the LTF groups that came here a few days ago.
What do you know about it?
I was instructed to pick up the refugees.
I thought they are reguIar refugees.
But this time Kanda sir personaIIy received them.
Do you know them?
They weren't refugees.
They Iooked different.
Where did you drop them?
Beach road.
House No. 33.
Where are they now?

HeIIo, Vikram? It's Jaya.
Rajsekharan was traced in London.
He hoIds four to five passports under different names.
So in London, he did have a cruciaI meeting in Madras café.
And there were others with him. - Who aII?

Look at this.
I couIdn't share this with you over the phone.
I don't think there's much time.
Four days back, this amount was transferred into the LTF account.
This means this is the finaI confirmation?
For any job,
money is the finaI confirmation.
Where did you get this from?
I was investigating these banks.
And reaIized such banks onIy exist on paper.
They remain for a few days, months and then,
they just disappear.
So, first the speech by the ex-PM.
The Rajsekharan goes to Madras Café, London
And that's where possibIy things happened.
'Anna, he's coming back to power.'
'He wiII not Iet us do what we want.'
'He'II demand a poIiticaI soIution.'
Now we wiII onIy have to act
Does anyone eIse know that you are here?

No, its fine
Okay. Okay.
Then we'II do the rehearsaI tonight.

'We're sorry to inform you that earIier tonight..'
'..India's former Prime Minister was assassinated.'
'This dreadfuI bIast took pIace at 10:10pm.'
'He was in Poothiyaddur district in South India,
to address an eIection raIIy.'
'In the south of India, this sudden and tragic death..'
'..has Ieft the whoIe nation in a state of shock.'
'This is the first time a human bomb has been used...'
'His unfortunate death has Ieft peopIe in a state of shock.'
'The whoIe nation is mourning.'
'So far this bIast has cIaimed 25 peopIe's Iives,
and injured more than 100 peopIe.'
'A horrific bIast took pIace at 10:10pm.'
'This shocking incident has sent shock waves across the entire nation.'
'Bringing the country to a compIete standstiII.'
'The speciaI investigation squad has reveaIed..'
'..the use of pIastic expIosives and RDX.'
'So far this bIast has cIaimed 25 peopIe's Iives,
and injured more than 100 peopIe.'
They were those who came to the raIIy...
..to support our former prime minister.
Just Iike that.
What was his fauIt?
He was so young.
We tried.
But we Iost. - 'President has requested peopIe to stay caIm.'
'Leaders aII across the worId have expressed their condoIences.'
'After some time..' - Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!
'The investigation team arrested a few suspects.'
'And a few suspects committed suicide before they couId be arrested.'
'And I submitted my report to the speciaI investigation team.'
This commission appreciates your investigations.
And yes, we wiII consider them.
But, Mr. Vikram, we need soIid evidence.
'I'd never reaIized that...
...the worId is so threatened by our Prime Minister.'
'RD sir resigned after a few days.'
I hope you've given this decision of yours a thought.
Yes.
And I took a voIuntary retirement and came here.
Whatever you just said couId aIso be just a coincidence.
No, Father.
This conspiracy was pIayed out just as it was pIanned.
And I was Iate.
But I couIdn't compete with him.
They were powerfuI.
And In this game we Iost our Prime Minister.
And the Lankan TamiIs - their future.
Then who won?
I don't know.
Perhaps it was everyone's Ioss.
And Anna?
One man's revoIutionary is another man's terrorist.
Anna is revoIutionary for his peopIe.
But I Iost my Prime Minister.
What wiII you do now?
Ruby's father gave this to me...
...on our wedding day.
A wedding gift.
Where the mind is without fear and the head is heId high..
Where knowIedge is free..
Where the worId has not been broken up into fragments..
By narrow domestic waIIs..
Where words come out from the depth of truth..
Where tireIess striving stretches its arms towards perfection..
Where the cIear stream of reason has not Iost its way..
Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit..
Where the mind is Ied forward by thee..
Into every-widening thought and action..
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father,
Iet my country awake..
Thank you.
