We need to weaken

LTF's top leaders.

LFT. Liberations of Tamils Front,

also known as Tigers.

The top leader:
Pandyan,

Intel chief.

Mallaya,

deputy leader and army commander.

Rajsekharan,

their spokesperson, an arms dealer.

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 politics.

Prime Minister wants that

Anna should surrender arms..

..and join the

elections before Diwali.

Make Shri powerful.

Make them fight each other.

Do we this all by ourselves?

Obviously.

You are not in the army anymore.

You are an agent of R&AW.

Hence use less brawn

and more brains.

You'll report everything to me.

I'll find out what I

need to through my own means.

I cannot afford mistakes.

Sir.

And most importantly,

you are a team leader.

So don't get caught.

Never get caught.

'My primary task

Turn left.

'..Was to find Shree.'

few important links.

'We got a breakthrough when

Narayanan agreed to meet us.'

Sir, the one in white shirt.

This basket. - How much

does it weigh? - 30 kgs.

And This is for? - Local market.

70% of the earth

is covered with water.

It's not so difficult

to catch fish.

Oh really?

That really depends on the fish.

The deeper you go the

better fish you catch.

Tell me, which one do you want?

My bosses love the

fish you catch for them.

Which one do you want?

I told you this one belongs

to the local market.

Tell me which one do you want?

CIA, KGB, Tigers.

They're All 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'll have to give information

about you if anyone enquires.

I need to store that.

Now you may Leave.

SfOP

Go.

How will you and your

government support me?

The situation out here..

How will people sitting

in New Delhi control it?

New Delhi recognizes your TPA.

And our PM's agenda

is exactly to settle that.

Election and peace.

Peace?

Anna has made me his archrival.

We were like brothers.

He's being brutal to our people.

He wants total control over Jaffna.

People want to see one leader.

Come to the point.

Sir,

we want you to counter LTF.

We need loads of

arms to counter Anna.

Loads of them.

Can your bosses

provide me with arms?

Will they promise?

Can you?

Sir, we'll support you in this war.

We're with you.

Wait, M r. Vi kram.

I hate liars.

You won't get a second chance.

Remember that.

You need to relax, boss.

Shri neither trusts me, nor you.

I'm just waiting

for the right time.

He won't agree on anything

until he gets the arms.

Please understand, boss.

Who are you working for?

For Shri? Or for me?

Sir, I'll handle this my way.

Trust me.

Please, sir.

Keep me informed.

Down.. down..

Welcome, 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 soldiers surrendered their arms.

They were killed.

I was backstabbed.

I want safety for my people.

What happens when

the peace forces leave?

Look, it's a clear order

for the peace forces..

..to ensure that the

elections go peacefully.

But you're also hell bent

on boycotting these elections.

By teaming up with Shri?

Double standard.

I'm already an elected leader.

I've a legitimate army.

Attention!

So this bloodbath,

there's no end to it?

I did not start it.

Salute!

Then if you don't agree

for a political solution"

"you'll have to

find a new partner.

ls there a new alliance?

This is my land.

ELAM is my final destination.

For that if I need to

seek help from the west"

"then I will.

LTF's leader Anna

has once again rejected"

..|ndia's offer

for peace elections.

And has further stated that.

..he will not hesitate

to seek help from the west.

How does New Delhi react to this?

How will this affect the

peace process in the island?

Only time will tell.

Rajsekharan,

you source funds

and arms from outside.

Go and meet our new foreign friend.

We need..

"Your help in our fight,

in our war.

So you need our support?

We need to be assured
