Not bad. Thank you.

I read your interview.

How's Anna?

Hey, listen, he's not my friend.

But I will say this.

I've never met anyone with

so much clarity and purpose.

You can't buy him.

Then Anna must've also

told you about his new partner.

You're asking me?

Until last year LTF

was favored by New Delhi.

But now, their rival TPA Shri

seems to have taken their place.

I don't know what

you're talking about.

Somebody has got

to be helping them.

Why tell me?

It's your job, isn't it?

"The date for arms deal

was decided as 6th July.

'It was important that the

arms consignment reached Shri.'

Hello. Capt. Murli.

Delivery will be

made from Singapore.

From here.

By using fishing boats,

we'll make the exchange.

And this here,

is the dropping point.

Point Pedro.

Delivery at 4:
00pm.

- 'But I didn't know that..'

'This small arms deal will

change both the local politics..'

'..and my life forever.'

Gifts are on the

way from Singapore.

Be sure they reach our new friends.

Don't worry, Reed.

My man will be there

with our new friends.

Vikram, you will get a safe

passage from the old ship yard.

Sri Lankan army's Capt.

Ratnayake will be waiting for you.

Just pay him the money

Indians are on their way.

Leave now.

Okay. Over and out.

Let's go. Let's go.

We did all we could do.

Sir.

Happy?

We lost an important man

What had I asked you?

If you can't handle

it by yourself I can help..

Did I or did I not say that?

What now?

A marching PKITY?

Sir, someone double-crossed us.

Don't give me that bullshit!

Vikram, you know what your problem

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 result of this?

Anna and Shri,

both of them will hunt us down.

Hello? Sir..

What!

RD sir is on the line.

Sure, sir.

I will take control.

Yes.

Now you get out of Jaffna.

Go straight to the

Colombo safe house.

And stay there.

Delhi still hasn't

altered its ways.

The same old strategy.

It's not so.

We want to support you.

You gave such a big

arms consignment to LTF.

This is how you'll support us!

There was an ambush.

I too lost a man.

The other guy, Vikram,

he came here and made big promises.

Do you know why he is still alive?

I told my men that he's your man.

It was a mistake

Bullshit,

This is how I'll counter Anna?

I'll handle him personally.

24 hours.

Deal with him.

If you don't then I will.

He's gone to Capt. Mur|i's shop.

What happened at the jetty?

I don't know.

Who informed LTF?

I don't know. I really don't know.

No one knew about the arms deal.

How did they find out about it?

I don't know, please, sir.

For God's sake.

I don't know, sir.

Right, sir.

Keep him alive"

don't kill him

Jaya, the journalist's

room number please.

J aya.

Jaya, it's me.

I need to talk to you.

Anna would get the arms.

You knew about it, didn't you?

ls this an official

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 should know how it works.

Jaya, please.

if Anna is being made more powerful

There will be repercussions.

The entire peace process will fail.

There will be a whole new civil war.

Goddamn it. This is not a game.

Vikram, look around.

The peace process

has already failed.

And I'm not playing games either.

I'm here because there

human lives are at stake.

Jaya, please.

What do you know?

Look, before I came here

I got a call from my source.

A foreign agency guy

met with an Indian official.

And the leak happened in Bangkok

Was that Indian official from RAW?

I don't know.

Look, if he was Raw then you know..

Let me tell you,

they know your next move

much before you even implement it.

So you should know about it,

not me.

Vikram.

this conversation never happened.

Assets can't call be called back.

Specially considering..

Sir, there's some urgent news.

Please have a look at it.

'Latest news has just come in from

Sri Lanka that an Indian national..'

'..Vikram Singh has been

abducted by the LTF militants..'

'..in the Jaffna area.'

Stay down, stay down..

'The Indian High Commission

in Colombo has stated..'

'..they are not aware

of the whereabouts of Vikram.'

This kidnapping is assumed

to be a political kidnapping.

How unstable will

the conditions be?

Or Will the Indian High...

Get me Bah:
now.

Ma'am, we understand

this is not easy for you.

But this is a political kidnapping.

We are negotiating.

But we can approach the

Indian High Commission, right?

They can send in the army.

After all the army

is responsible, right?

Vikram was on official duty.

He was on official posting.

Ma'am, we need to understand

whom we are dealing with.

A dangerous and brutal

terrorist outfit, LTF.

Perhaps even you know about them.

So you mean I should keep mum..

..and my husband's life

hangs in the bargain. Right?

Ma'am, we understand your emotions.

But Vikram belongs to us.

We will try our best

and bring him back safely.

Hello. - What the

hell is happening, Bala?

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 responsible

for whatever happens there.

I had warned Vikram.

I told him to be careful.

And now LTF is angry..

If LTF is responsible

then talk to them.

Deploy the army if you have to.

Do what you have to but

we want our boy back safely.

Sir, I spoke to the

High Commission in Colombo.

You know they won't negotiate.

Fine, sir. I'll leave right away.

I'll leave for the

army base camp right away.

Soldier's name:
Vikram Singh.

Suspected location: Pallai town.

48kms east from Jaffna.

Bravo one.

Around 50 LTF holding up there.

Ask LTF to leave right now..

I have deployed the army.

Target visible. 60 degrees north.

Sir, He's alive.

Bravo one to base camp.

Location is empty.

Repeat. Location is empty.

Status:
Injured but alive.

Here have this you'll feel better.
