messages are being exchanged.

From Jaffna to London.

And One of the voices

is that of speakers is Anna's.

I've decoded some keywords.

Like - Foreign friend.

Negotiate. Middle-east.

Does Bala know?

Yes, I've shared them with him.

But he asked me not

to file or decode them.

And His behavior has

really scared me, boss.

There's a lot of danger.

Your Life's always at risk.

How do I explain to them that our

country is surrounded by vultures?

We need to protect it....

How much will 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 Bala

I hope you are right about Bala.

God forbid if you are wrong,

you'll be in great risk.

It's a big accusation.

I know, sir.

I need to sort this out.

If you don't start begin

surveillance in the next 24 hours..

..then I'll get

the evidence myself.

And I'll do it my way.

Sir.

We've got a fix on Vasu's location.

He's constantly shifting his base.

And But his last call

was traced to old Delhi.

Stop! Stop! Stop!

Get down! Get down! - Get down!

Bala recruited you for the agency

from the Jammu district jail.

Information was leaked

from our system.

They knew our operational details.

What do you know?

You'll have to speak up, Vasu.

You know the consequences.

I just photocopied the files.

For whom?

I don't know.

My job was to drop

them to at the airport.

Bala sir's instructions.

And Shree's Shri's arms deal?

We lost a our man.

You were there as well.

Reverse the car

Who informed the LTF?

You? - I've told you.

I just followed instructions.

What happened that night?

What happened on the night

SP brought the intercepts, Vasu?

That was the first time

I saw Bala sir getting panicked.

'The file is missing!'

He held me by my collar.

He was very nervous.

Why?

Don't worry.

Those intercepts are with me.'

Your department is moving along..

A few of his

intercepts were stolen.

He doubted suspected SP.

So he asked me to tail SP.

And?

He got a call from Singapore.

From? - Some Reed.

'You just make sure those

intercepts do not reach anyone.'

I've never seen him.

He used to call.

'A foreign agency guy

met with an Indian official.'

Did Bala know what did

those intercepts contain?

No.

Those intercepts weren't decoded.

Where is SP now?

I don't know.

Who sent you to Delhi?

Bah:
sir asked me to...

..disappear from Madras

safe house after your incident.

And Who gave the orders...

...to kill me and SP?

Vasu..

While following orders

from Bala did you ever realize..

..that you'll be such

a disgrace for the system?

Such a shame.

I understand, ma.

Don't worry. I'm fine.
