under different names.

So in London, he did have

a crucial meeting in Madras caf.

And there were others with him.

Sir, Vijayan is the

one who came from Germany.

He's a bombmaker.

Number tracked, sir.

Fine. I'll be there by tomorrow.

- Okay, sir.

That's Rajsekharan,

at Madras Caf, London.

Look at this.

I couldn't share this

with you over the phone.

I don't think there's much time.

Four days back, this amount was

transferred into the LTF account.

This means this is

the final confirmation?

For any job,

money is the final confirmation.

Where did you get this from?

I was investigating these banks.

And realized such banks

only exist on paper.

They remain for a few days,

months and then,

they just disappear.

So, first the speech by the ex-PM.

Then Rajsekharan goes

to Madras Caf, London.

And that's where

possibly things happened.

'Anna, he's coming back to power.'

'He will not let

us do what we want.'

'He'll demand a

political solution.'

Now we will only have to act

Does anyone else

know that you are here?

No.

Abuda - Does the jacket fit well?

Hope its not too tight?

No, its fine

Okay. Okay.

Then we'll do the

rehearsal tonight.

Okay? - Okay.

Okay, JaVa.

So, what'|| you do now, Vikram?

I don't know.

Be careful, Vikram.

'Please proceed to Gate No. 3.'

'Security check begins

in ten minutes.'

'This is the final boarding

call for passengers of...

Flight No. 3728 to Kansas City.'

'Please proceed to Gate No.

3 immediately.'

'Security check will

begin in awhile.'

Hands up! Don't move
