Get them out!

All Tamils get out!

Leave me! Leave us! No! I won't go!

Breaking news.

Sri Lankan president has been assassinated.

The killing was carried out using a human bomb.

According to the local police this incident took place..

..when he was coming out of Colombo's Army Headquarters.

It is being alleged that the LTF could be behind this.

After this incident it is possible that peace attempts will get deferred.

And the situation there could get tense again.

Ru by!

I want to say everything.

The truth..

I cannot carry..

...this burden anymore.

You've been drinking again.

I've told you.

Whatever is bothering you, share it.

You will feel lighter.

Otherwise, go home.

Betrayal..

Power..

Greed..

Can I talk about such things before your God?

Yes, You can.

The last witness..

They killed him as well.

It was a game.

A conspiracy.

Who are you?

It's been three years since you've been coming here...

And What's this conspiracy that you are talking of?

What wrong did our Prime Minister do?

Why did we let him die?

What?

We could've saved our prime minister.

What do you know?

I was there, Father.

It was the darkest phase in the history of Sri Lanka.

The clashes between the largest ethic group Sinhalese..

..and the minority Tamils..

...had was going through its worst crisis.

This ethic violence claimed thousands of Tamilian civilian lives...

Abuses..

The supply of basic necessities like food..

Water..

Everything was stopped.

A lot of families were destroyed.

And thus thousands of Tamilian youth turned rebellious..

And joined the LTF leader Anna.

Long Live Eelam.

Long Live Eelam.

Anna refused to surrender before the Sri Lankan forces.

And raised the demand for a separate Tamil state.

And thus began, the endless killings.

These bloodbath made many Tamils lose their homes.

And they sought refuge in India.

Indian government expressed its concern..

...and decided to intervene.

Peace Accord is an important political decision.

I will be going ahead with it.

We will be signing the Peace Accord tomorrow.

To make sure that no inhumane activity takes place..

...during the Provincial Council Elections..

...I've decided to send a peace force to the island.

Prime Minister signed the historical Peace Accord..

...with the Sri Lankan President today.

He also declared the Provincial Council Elections..

So that once again there is peace and normalcy in the island.

The first group of the peace force.. '

..reached there with an intention of making the rebels surrender arms.

In the hope that peace and normalcy returns.

But Anna rejected the Peace Accord.

19 LTF cadres committed suicide in Sri Lankan custody.

And Anna blamed lndia..

...and Sri Lanka for it.

He said that this peace accord is not in the favor of the Tamils.

He feared that if they surrendered arms..

..then once the peace force leaves..

..all the Tamils in the island will be killed.

Hence.. 'He was not ready to negotiate.

This is going to be a long war.

Indian Army launched an operation to capture Anna.

But our soldiers got killed .

since Anna was already in the know of..

...our operational details and intels

And from here on, began a gruesome guerilla war..

..between Anna and the peace force.

Our soldiers are getting killed.

Operation details are getting leaked.

RD, I hope you are aware of what your boys are up to.

But we had warned you, not to send the forces.

But it was your General who assured the PM..

...that we'll disarm them in 72 hours.

And here we are, after one year.

If this continues, we're sure to get embarrassed.

PM needs is answerable to the people.

Mr. Cabinet Secretary, we are not fighting with a traditional army.

This is a locally entrenched guerilla force.

We just can't make out who's a militant and who's a civilian!

We don't even have proper maps!

But yes, if they attack us, we will retaliate.

This shouldn't become another Vietnam for us.

How much more can we embarrass the PM?

RD?

The fact is,

Anna doesn't trust us anymore.

And Perhaps we ourselves are responsible for creating this situation.

If we loosen the grip any further..

...It will be a golden opportunity for the west to get inside the island.

And this is already happening.

Guruji all of a sudden going to Singapore..

...with Murthy for a spiritual tour..

Is it a coincidence?

So, Mr. Murthy,

...you wish to be the lord of the largest democracy?

I've always been saying..

...that there's a conspiracy to overthrow the government.

One thing is clear now.

Only military action won't suffice.

All these are clear cut signs.

Overt operations won't be enough now.

RD, get all the covert ops ready.

This Peace Accord needs to succeed, at any cost.

That's all. Good luck.

RD..

Stay.

Enough of these discussions.

Media is asking a lot of questions.

You'll have to intervene.

I'm ready..

...to use all the intelligence at my disposal.

But who are we really fighting?

You, too, need to understand.

The situation is very sensitive.

Anna won't surrender arms.

He is adamant.

And others are waiting to jump in to win his trust.

We will lose the island.

And that will be a serious national threat for us.

Now is not the time to go by the book.

The time to question..

...what is legitimate and what is not, is over.

You know very well what needs to be done with Anna.

Send in your best men.

We need to form a Provincial Council there, before Diwali.

Swarup, get me Major Vikram.

I want him in Delhi in the next 24 hours.

Urgent.

Ruby, I need to go.

- Otherwise, you know.. - Look,

I know, I am an army wife.

And I need to hold my head high and all that.

And I will.

But it's been four years.

And I just keep missing you.

How do I stay normal?

Don't worry.

Everything will be normal soon.

Oh yes, and avoid all these news.

And take care of yourself.

If you are so concerned about me then don't go.

Six months, at least..

Till I hold you again, like this.

So, what's happening?

Bala has been informed.

Jaffna safe house has been activated.

Vikram..

Still as restless as ever?

Old habits die hard, sir.

Relax.

Swarup.

Additional director.

Of course, I remember, sir.

I had met you briefly during the Mizoram operation.

Good memory.

Sir.

Anyway, talking about work..

Do you know anything about lndo-Lankan situation?

I've done my homework, sir.

You know nothing.

You'll be solely responsible for all covert operations of RAW in Jaffna.

Sir.

PM is concerned about the situation there.

His clear agenda is to execute Provincial Elections successfully.

The Small militant groups there have surrendered.

But The most powerful group, the most ferocious one, LTF..

Is still resistant.

Do we have a strategy, sir?

Step one: Break LTF.

The most likely candidate for that: Mallaya.

He's Anna's Man Friday.

Very loyal.

Impossible to reach.

Step Two: Shri.

He's the only man in the island who can stand against Anna.

Get him on our side.

For official matters you'll report to the Madras Desk Head, Bala.

He's tough but knows a lot about Jaffna.
