I can't give you my sources.

All our intels have been leaked..

To this guy called Reed.

So, it was one of your guys.

- Yes.

And he is a national threat.

So what do you want from me?

I need evidence.

That's why, I need your sources.

Okay.

I'll call you back.

Than ks, Jaya.

And, Vikram, I'm really,

really sorry about your wife.

Thank you.

Reed, you your man

Bala is a risk for us.

His cover is blown

and he's being tracked.

You want me to lose him? - Yes.

Right.

'Okay, Vikram. Reach Bangkok.'

'Take Taxi No. 5892.'

'He will take you to

Happyland fish market.'

'Ask for Shop No. 29.'

'My source will 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'll get it by five.

Since when have you

been tracking Bala?

Before and after I retired

a lot of activity took place..

"between Madras,

Jaffna and Singapore.

I did some surveillance.

I reported it as well.

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 close to reality.

Who is Reed? - I don't know.

It could be anyone.

Maybe a faceless handler.

Apart from there this...

...a lot of other activities took

place that too raise arouse suspicion.

Look at this.

Rajsekharan at Madras Caf!

Yes. The meeting

took place in Singapore.

Two meetings took place there.

In the second meeting

Rajsekharan was introduced.

He was representing Anna.

'So you need our support?'

It means that developments of...

...that meeting changed

the whole politics.

Yes. Do you remember

the date of arms deal?

6th July. I was there.

This meeting took place

on the second2nd July.

Exactly four days

before the arms deal.

'Gifts are on the

way from Singapore.'

'Be sure they reach

our new friends.'

'Don't worry, Reed.

My man will 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 people?

Corporations,

big countries, big organizations.

Who seek They need

economic control,

business deals,

large arms contracts"

And Their executors

are ex-agency employees.

They are called economic hitmen.

Who are these people?

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 all corners.

This is the modern day warfare.

That's why Trincomalee dock.

This Lankan coastline

is so strategic for everyone.

Yes. And that's why

they are supporting Anna...

...if Anna comes to power...

...then they will gain control...

...over entire South

East Asia via Trincomalee Dock

...and that would a

national threat for India

That's the reason why ex-PM

is not so popular with them.

He doesn't want war.

He wants a peaceful

political solution.

And that's why Anna.

Anna is an idealist.

And He'll he will continue the

war till he doesn't get freedom.

And they will exploit this.

Wait here. - Okay.

Package please.

Your evidence. Let's go.

Nasal. - Nasal.

llpa- Pal

Ant.

What have we got?

They are possibly discussing an

assassination of a national leader.

Sir, the intercepts.

Two of them have been decoded.

Have you informed RD?

Not yet, sir.

I was waiting for you.

Bala?

So they trapped him.

Honeytrap.

Oldest trick of the intel world.

l, too, doubted Had my

doubts about him but this..

So they exposed Bah;.

Perhaps Bala had

become useless for them.

The And they either eliminate

or expose the useless.

This is how our world 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.

Garland. Important. Leader.

They are going for

the ex-prime minister.

Get me Vikram. ASAP.

Sir, there's one more thing.

Ba|a's surveillance report.

Bank accounts.

Income worth thousands

of dollars from unknown accounts.

Five fake passports.

Eight tickets to Singapore.

Everyone perceives

the truth differently.

It depends on where

you are choose to stand.

Remember, my friend.

This meeting never happened.

Bala, your tape has been released,

you must leave now..

Sir, I have evidence.

He was honey-trapped.

He compromised everything.

I believe they blackmailed him.

Yes, Vikram.

We, too, know about

his secret bank accounts.

..fake passports

and travel details.

He didn't just sell us out.

He sold out the entire country.

Now you let the

department handle him.

But you Come back here immediately.

The intercepts between Jaffna

and Madras have been decoded.

There's There is a plot

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 sleep.

Don't worry about me.

Bah;.

Why did you do this?

Why?

And my wife?

What was her fault?

It wasn't her fault.

That was a mistake.

You were the target,

but you survived.

You're lucky.

And the second arms deal?

My kidnapping?

You were behind it, Bala?

I have information that two

meetings took place in Singapore.

Where Rajsekharan represented Anna.

It's obviously

a well-designed plan.

Here's a copy of decoded

intercepts for you.

We've very little time.

Brief your best team.

Find out, where is it

this going to take place,

who all are involved?

Who? How? What? When? Where?

I need all the information.

And Vikram.. - Sir.

He is no longer the prime minister.

He's out of power.

It won't be so easy to operate.

Keep that in mind.

We need solid 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..

Tamil words, sir.

And Their English translation:

Tooth.

Ant.

Lizard.

Kangaroo.

First letter of each word,

TALK, talk.

This is how we decoded

all the intercepts and we got..

Talk foreign friend,

mutually beneficial deal.

From where was this generated?

Jaffna to London.

Anna and Rajsekharan.

Second code, quick. - Right.

Don't leave home.

We need to garland

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 call

was made to a PCO in Madras.

We still haven't been

able 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.

No, sir. He's agreed to talk.

Sir, you'll have to come to Jaffna.

Jaffn a?

Okay. Keep him on surveillance
