"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."

"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." "How?" "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."

"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..." "Is 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.."
