Hello, sir.
Jai hind.
I'm the Bangalore police Commissioner, tell me.
I know where Sivarasan is.
Send a team to conduct surveillance on that house.
As soon as there's a positive confirmation, call me.
Okay, sir.
Let's be a 100 percent sure about this.
Sir.
Are you absolutely sure?
Okay thanks.
Sir...
Sivarasan has been found.
- Are you sure? - Yes. sir
My IB contact called.
Bangalore police have found a reliable witness...
...who has provided an address of a house in the Konanakunte area.
He's sure that Sivarasan is hiding in that house.
But why didn't they inform us directly?
It's not important right now, Amod.
Sri, you go there immediately and find out...
...if the information is confirmed or not.
Yes, sir.
Sir, I'd like to go too.
Okay, Amit.
But there shouldn't be any confrontation...
...with the Bangalore police.
We need everybody's cooperation on this one, okay?
Sure, sir.
- Thank you. - Yes, sir.
[Title montage]
[suspenseful music]
[ambient noise]
Open.
Hello, sir.
I don't need your pleasantries.
In which house is Sivarasan hiding?
This way, sir. Come...
It's the last house in this village, sir.
Stay back.
Check.
Tell me one thing, how all of Bangalore...
…get to know about this house before us?
While we were inspecting this house...
...from different angles, people became suspicious.
And because there's a nationwide movement to find Sivarasan...
...the villagers understood.
That means you came here wearing a uniform...
...instead of civil clothes, and that too in a jeep?
Excellent!
Why didn't you call us first?
We had orders from above.
Of course… Orders…
From here, we can only see the side of the house.
How can we see it from the front?
Sir, the frontal view of the house.
[ambient noise]
If Sivarasan is really hiding in this house...
...then he must have seen this circus by now.
Sir.
- Good evening, Captain. - Good evening, Sir.
May I, sir?
It feels like everyone has come to watch a Rajinikanth movie.
Mac!
- Yes, sir. - Assess the situation and report.
Okay, sir.
[suspenseful music]
[tense music]
So how much time do you think, captain?
Approximately half an hour, sir.
- You sure about it? - Yes, sir.
Sir, Captain Ravindran and his team are all set, they are good to go.
They're just waiting for our orders.
You just give the order, sir.
Amit, you know I can't give the order.
We have to wait for Kaarthikeyan sir's go-ahead.
- When is he coming? - I don't know.
Sir, let's find out, let's call him.
I'm trying, Amit, but I can't reach him.
Sir, every second is important, we are losing our advantage.
Don't you think I know that?
[ominous music]
[indistinct chatter]
- [Kaarthi] 'Hello.' - Hello? S-Sir?
Finally! I've been trying to reach you, sir.
I got caught up in an important task, Amit. Tell me.
I-I give up, Sir. I-I really give up now.
We had a chance to launch a surprise attack.
Now, even that slipped through our fingers.
There is no need to lose heart.
Sir, it's a fairground here.
People are watching the spectacle from their rooftops.
How will we catch him alive now?
I know this is a huge screw up, but we'll keep doing our job.
When will you arrive here, sir?
Actually...
I'm being sent to Hyderabad for an important assignment.
I'll be there by tomorrow.
Sir... But by tomorrow, everything might be over.
[chuckles]
Then I'll come and take the man of the match award.
Of course, on behalf of the team.
Goodnight, Amit, and don't worry!
[sighs]
[night ambience]
Can't see much but I can hear vehicles moving on this road.
Me too. Heavy vehicles.
I can hear a lot of people talking, like a crowd has gathered.
It has to be Mridula and Ranganath.
Do you think I was foolish to let them go?
I also believed them.
As your leader, I should have been smarter.
No, Brother.
You're a great leader.
Brother.
Where do you think the attack will come from?
Hello, sir.
- Welcome, sir. - Hello, Sri Kumar.
- Sir, SP, Amit Verma. - Hello, sir.
- Captain Ravindran. - Sir.
- Shall we? - Yes.
Sivarasan's house is the last house of this village.
As you can see, it's exposed...
...from both sides and also from the front.
But, we have visual from behind.
From here and from this house too.
The LTTE won't be able to see these positions.
My men have already taken positions.
You lead the way.
Sir, with all due respect, this operation should...
...be carried out by the NSG for better results.
'The police are not qualified for such a complicated operation.'
And coordinating between my commandos...
...and the police would be very difficult.
Okay.
One very important thing...
I can guarantee you that Sivarasan, being a soldier...
...will not commit suicide before we attack him.
He will surely have weapons...
...and will fight until the last minute...
...to cause us maximum damage.
Only then will he resort to cyanide.
Right next to the house, there is a water tank.
My commandos will create a bridge using...
...the ladder and reach the roof of the house.
My team and I will surround the house...
...and in a single coordinated move...
...we will launch an attack on the house.
Captain, how much time will it take to be fully ready?
Sir, I have been ready for quite some time.
Sir, there's a phone call for you.
Excuse me.
Don't you find this plan risky?
At this point, we don't have any other option, sir.
Hello. Yes, sir.
But why, sir?
[Sri] 'We are... We are ready…'
Okay, sir, got it.
We have orders to wait for the moment.
Sir, really?
We've been receiving orders to wait since morning.
When will we receive the order to attack?
Exactly, sir.
It's 1 a.m. now, I want us to attack in the next two hours.
They will be asleep, and it will help us catch them alive.
We shouldn't lose our advantage, sir.
Captain, we have orders from above.
We'll have to wait.
[ominous music]
Brother.
Why did they not attack us?
Give way.
Hello, sir.
- Everything under control? - Yes, sir.
Come, I'll show you.
[indistinct murmurs]
That's the house, sir. They are holding up there.
Sir.
What's the plan of action?
Sir, our first point of entry will be...
...through this water tank onto the roof.
After that, we breach from the front.
Too good.
Sir, we may have lost the element of surprise.
But still, in a single coordinated move...
...I can launch an attack on them.
Even if they retaliate with weapons, within...
...one to two minutes, everything will be over.
I just need your go-ahead, sir.
Good plan, captain. But we'll have to hold off...
...until Mr. Vijay Karan himself arrives here.
He'll supervise this operation now.
Excuse me? I...I'm sorry, sir. I didn't understand.
What didn't you understand, Amit?
- Sir... - Mr. Vijay Karan will now...
...supervise this operation. That's it.
When will he arrive, sir?
From what I know, he'll arrive by 4 p.m.
It doesn't make any sense, sir.
Are you asking us to wait for another six hours?
Times of the essence, sir. Please…
I understand your frustration, gentlemen.
But we have to wait, okay?
Good work, captain.
[tense music]
- Hello. - Sir.
This is Doctor Ramachari, an expert on cyanide poisoning.
Whatever you've told me, please inform my team as well.
I've examined these kits.
They've expired. Look at the dates.
Wha- What are you trying to say, doctor?
It means they can't be used.
But doctor, only a few days have passed since then.
Exactly, and allopathic medicines, we know...
...can be used for up to 14 days, if not more.
- Captain, how can you be so sure? - What do you mean?
I mean, this is a high-stakes situation. We cannot take a risk.
But Doctor, because the expiry date is just a few...
...days off, we can't halt an entire operation.
And doctor, these expiration dates are usually...
...approximate, right? They're not like exact timestamps.
Exactly.
You're the expert, or am I?
[chuckles]
You're the expert.
Tell us what to do next.
Please give us a solution.
I've ordered new kits.
We should wait for them to arrive.
- Yes. - Okay...
Where are the kits coming from?
- Gwalior. - Gw...Gwalior?!
- Is Gwalior here? - When will you...
...order the kits from Gwalior? When will the operation take place?
Sir, is he joking? we waited for six hours already.
- Waiting for six hours! - Are you joking, doctor?
Please, sir, give me 30 seconds. 30 seconds,
I'll go inside and bring Sivarasan out alive.
'Please...'
Sir?
We'll wait for the new kits.
Excuse me, sir.
I apologize, sir, shouldn't have happened.
It's okay.
[indistinct crowd chatter]
We have enough for a full blown battle.
I'm not sure why they haven't attacked us yet.
But today they will, for sure.
[truck honking]
[Mac] 'Come in, Captain.'
Go for captain.
Sir, a lorry is coming down that road.
[Ravindran] 'Do we have visuals on the lorry?'
[Mac] 'Yes, sir.'
What kind of lorry?
[Mac] 'Sir, there are crates in the lorry.'
'It looks like a civilian lorry.'
Could this lorry belong to the LTTE?
Hold, boys. I'm getting into position.
[tense music]
I told you all roads to Konanakunte to be cordoned off!
How did the police let such a truck come in?
Sir, should I fire a warning shot?
No.
We shouldn't give Sivarasan a warning.
[Mac] 'Okay, sir.'
[truck honking]
[window opens]
[Sivarasan] 'There is a lorry coming towards us.'
Alert!
I'll keep a watch from the kitchen.
All units be on high alert.
[truck engine stalling]
Shit! Boys, the truck's halted in front of the house.
This is a decoy!
Everyone, get inside.
[indistinct crowd chatter]
What is this bloody idiot doing?
[suspenseful music]
[gun clicks]
They are going to attack us. Open fire!
[indistinct chatter]
[gun shots]
Return fire! Return fire!
But no one will enter the house.
I repeat, no one will enter the house!
[gun shots]
Shubha! They are coming towards this side.
Go to the back side!
[gun shots]
[screams]
[gun loading]
Stop firing.
They are not storming the house.
We shouldn't waste our ammunition.
[tense music]
Sir, it's the perfect time, please give me the permission to go in.
No.
We'll wait for the new kits.
Brother.
Are you done writing your poem?
Just the last lines are remaining.
We will get back Eelam.
You want to hear it?
- Yes. - Yes.
The chains of slavery binding my fellow Tamilians should be broken--
I wonder what these clowns are going to try next.
So, is this news confirmed?
Okay...okay, thank you.
- Captain! - Sir.
There is some good news.
Antidotes are being dispatched from Gwalior as we speak.
Finally! When will they arrive, sir?
The flight will land tomorrow at 5 a.m.
Flight?
They were supposed to send a helicopter, sir.
Actually, due to the low-flying annoyance act in Bangalore...
... the Commissioner of Police didn't give...
...permission for the choppers to land.
[Amit laughing]
The story of this case will be very enjoyable...
...to narrate to my grandchildren.
'Low flying annoyance act.'
I'm going to sleep. I'll reach there before the antidote arrives.
Good night, everyone.
[tense music]
Go ahead.
All units standby. We move in five.
Let the shackles of slavery on my Tamil folk be broken.
Let the sovereign of the Tiger's flag fly high upon reinstitution.
Let that government that does not support...
...a separate state for us, be dismissed.
Eelam should be in our hands.
Eelam should be in our hands!
[Sivarasan] 'The indomitable hands'...
...of my leader are raised, ready to strike.'
'Awaiting his orders, the bastion of brothers'...
...'and sisters are ever ready with weapons to fight.'
'Whilst the enemy is frolicking in merriment'...
...'our children have lined up at the battlefront.'
'Despite seeing this lineup'...
...'why then are the Tamil people still asleep? '
'Dare not underestimate the sovereignty of the Tamils.'
'We will unite, and fight in unison.'
'We will chase away the enemy who slaughtered our people.'
We will get back Eelam.
[All] We will get back Eelam!
We will get back Eelam!
[gun clicks]
[tense music]
[gun clicks]
WE WILL GET BACK EELAM!
[gun shot]
[indistinct chatter]]
Sir, one photo please.
[camera clicks]
Congratulations, Kaarthi.
Thank you, sir.
You and your boys did an amazing job.
Yes, they did.
I will personally inform the Prime Minister about this.
Thank you, sir.
Don't do it, Amit.
[indistinct chatter]
- Hi, Amit. - Excuse me, sir?
- Yes, tell me. - I need to ,talk to you, sir.
- In private, sir. Please. - Okay.
Excuse me, gentlemen. Come.
Tell me.
I had a wonderful time working with you.
Same here, Amit.
But it's not over yet, in fact, it's just beginning.
You know how charge sheets are, thousands of pages, you know.
It's a mammoth task. Can't let the culprits go.
We have to up hold the law...
...so that the victims get justice and the criminals go to jail.
Anyway, carry on.
Sir, do you remember, I myself presented my candidature...
- ..to you to be part of this team. - Of course.
After witnessing the brutal assassination...
...of Mr. Gandhi by these people...
...I swore an oath to apprehend them.
And God knows, in the past 36 hours, we've...
....had plenty of opportunities to do so.
I'm sorry, I'm speaking...
- ...more than necessary... - No, carry on.
Sir, I don't see any angle in which this is our victory.
In fact, this is our defeat.
It would have been better if Sivarasan had fled back to Jaffna.
At least then there would have been hope...
...that we would catch him someday, if not today.
I wouldn't have felt so sad, nor so much anger.
After 90 days of hard work, what did we get?
Some dead LTTE members in a room...
...and the truth buried forever.
Sir!
