through a remote control.

Nonsense!

In the field, in the jungle..

I'm in control here.

Jaffna is my territory.

You wouldn't have survived.

I saved you.

What next?

Oh, your work is done.

Your assignment's finished.

Your cover is blown.

You are on the hit-list

of both the camps.

You'll put the agency

in risk if you stay here.

So, you should leave.

Enjoy with your wife.

Go on a holiday.

And one more thing, yourjournalist

friend she should leave too.

It's not safe for her here.

SP. Here

Will you help me?

Yes, boss?

Henceforth I want all the information

of Ba|a's movements and call records.

Okay, boss.

How are you?

I'm fine.

And your injury?

'Ruby. The one whom

I always left back alone.'

'She just had only this one hope.'

'That everything will be fine.'

'I might have been the one at war,

but she too was fighting a battle.'

'With herself. '

'With her fears. '

'I had the entire army with me.'

But all she had was her belief..'

'That I will come back.'

'Alive. '

How are you?

Alive, for now.

You wouldn't have

survived this time.

LTF was very rigid.

And New Delhi,

you know them well.

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 deal.

There is a leak amongst us.

So what's your plan?

Thank you, sir.

That I need to figure out.

But before that,

I'll get you Mallaya.

You were right.

To pin down Anna,

we need to crack Mallaya.

H ow?

You can't go back in the jungle.

They'll kill you.

Sir, with your permission,

let me do it.

Off the record.

You mean no vacation?

I want Mallaya.

Mallaya is the

most dangerous shark.

You're taking a big risk.

You'll get both of us killed.

Fine, I'll see what I can do.

Double money.

Mallaya was Anna's

second in command

Who controlled the

entire east region

And getting him onto

our side for the elections...

...meant breking the ITF into 2

I want to meet Mallaya.

Who are you?

Where are you from?

I'm a reporter.

Why do you want to meet Mallaya?

I'm reporting on the war.

Myself Vikram, sir.

So you..

"want to interview me?

Yes.

I was waiting for you.

You know why?

For what purpose would

a RAW's journalist.

"out his life at

risk and come here?

Mr. Mallaya,

let me get straight to the point.

My senior wants to meet you.

In Colombo.

RD is coming to Colombo?

You know Anna will be very angry.

He wants to meet you, alone.

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 should go ahead with

the Provincial Council Elections.

Pick any three representatives.

Go ahead with the

elections and end this.

Any meaning?

The ones no one knows about?

No one recognizes?

If we want peace...

we need the people with us.

And we all know that

people support LTF.

We will have to partner LTF.

And I don't mean Anna.

We partner LTF without Anna.

We have been able to penetrate

to his second in command, Mallaya.

He has enough backing of

LTF that he can stand on his own.

As a leader.

- Now who the hell is Mallaya, RD?

Hold on.

If we can still have

the elections then..

..we might find a face saving exit.

Otherwise, in the next 48

hours the PM will have to resign.

Sir.

Try.

So...You went passed me?

Good

You met Mallaya.

How did you manage that?

I was just following orders, sir.

Oh, come on!

Don't give me that bullshit.

Conspiring with New Delhi,

that's what you are doing.

There is a leak in my team"

You.

We both are working

for the same government.

You cannot keep implicating me.

If you do that again,

I will not hold back.

And you know,

no one is innocent here.

Hi, Jaya.

Hi.

So you're leaving?

Obviously.

They think I work for you now.

But thanks for saving my life.

Look, I'm sorry that

because of me.. - Please.

Don't drag me into

this any further.

As a war correspondent it's important

that I'd be seen as unbiased.

It could 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-national.

My office numbers and

my London's personal number.

And, Vikram, be safe.

You too.

Please have your tea.

I don't enjoy such things.

I stay in the jungle.

That's why Anna

operates like a tyrant?

He's openly into brutality.

But it won't last for long.

No matter where Anna is hiding

in this island, we will find him.

And the elections

will be held peacefully.

But what after that?

Who will be the new leader?

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 capsules

around the neck of small children,

making them into turn militants...

ls this your war?

You are snatching

away their future.

The Tamilians can

get their rights back..

"Only through

a political solution.

And you can do so,

by being their leader.

Not through war.

Our offer is clear.

And what if I refuse?

You have no option.

Enjoy your tea.

Vikram, phase three.

Get Anna. - Sir.

Mallaya will give

you Anna's location.

Brief the army special forces.

We want Anna at any cost.

Right, sir.

Mission Extract Anna.

Two platoons.

One will land in the

east and the other in north.

Vikram..

This is the position

of the LTF camp.

500 meters in diameter.

The whole region is

covered with landmines.

This will be our dropping point.

Pottai lake.

Remember,

we have only eight minutes.

Vikram, your job in Jaffna

is over for the time being.

Immediately station

yourself in Kerala.

Wait for further orders. Leave now.

He's not here.. its empty

Target locked.

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 still incomplete.'

'Bala. I knew he was the leak.'

But I needed concrete evidence.

What happened, Vikram?

Those faces,

those killings..

Something doesn't seem right, Ruby.

Just let go.

'As per the latest news

received LTF leader Anna is dead.'

'The news of Anna's death

spread like wild fire.'

'The whole island was in shock.'

'The whole world believed us.'

'And we too,

believed that ourjob was done.'

Long live Mallaya!

Our leader Mallaya.

'Mallaya declared himself

as the new leader of LTF.'

'But..'

'An na was alive. '

Why did you do this?

No one can betray our ELAM.

'And now,

it was impossible to stop Anna.'

'He became the undisputed

leader of North-East Sri Lanka.'

'And now much more ferocious.'

'Prime Minister

has resigned today.'

'Due to an unexpected

development this morning..'

'..he took this step

under political pressure.'

'Because of the change

in the political scenario...

...in Delhi, PM resigned.'

'A week after the new

government came into power..'

'..our army was called

back from Lanka.'

'This was a victory for Anna,'

'against the world's fourth
