[Title Montage]

I was the pilot of Rajiv ji's
chartered flight that day.

After wrapping up the campaign
in Vishakhapatnam...

...we were scheduled to depart
for Madras around 4:30 p.m.

That's when I noticed
a communication error...

...in the aircraft.

Rajiv ji was
an experienced pilot himself.

So he understood
that the problem was serious.

He knew that he might
have to cancel the trip to Madras.

Had he cancelled it...

...he wouldn't have been
in Sriperumbudur that night.

I don't know if it was
his bad luck or fate...

...but the ground staff found
a new spare part...

...and we solved that problem.

Rajiv ji was so happy
that he decided...

...to pilot the aircraft himself.

And he got us to Madras
exactly at 8:00 p.m.

He made a perfect landing.

I guess he had to keep
his date with destiny.

[band playing]

[Newscaster] 'At 1:20 p.m.,
the body emerged.'

'Rajiv Gandhi's 17-year-old son,
Rahul, a pallbearer.'

'The body reconstructed
by surgeons'...

...'lay embalmed
beneath the flag of India.'

'Sonia Gandhi, yesterday,
rejected the job'...

...'of Congress Party President.'

'But pressure remains
on her to change her mind.'

'Even as Delhi fell under a day
of ceremony and mourning,'

'a fact symbolised by
the elaborately-decorated'...

...'gun carriage that carried
Rajiv's body'...

...'and yet, behind it,
gleaming in their white kurtas'...

...'the leadership
of Congress[I].'

'The whole country
is mourning today.'

'But Rajiv Gandhi's killers
have not been caught yet.'

'If you have any information
about the woman in this picture'...

...'wearing the green
and orange dress'...

...'then please go
to your nearest police station'...

...'and help the police.'

Hey, Hari!

- Hello, Hari. How are you?
- I'm fine, Bhagwan.

Is he going to come or not?
It's been three hours.

I just heard...

...he has a press meeting
at the airport, then Porur.

And then he will come here.

He should be here at any moment.

Oh...

- Is he a friend of yours?
- Yeah, he's also a journalist.

I haven't seen him before.

- Is he from out of town?
- No, he is from our town only.

Actually,
he's Ravishanker's friend.

- Ah, Ravi?
- Yes.

Yeah, we're all here to cover
this historic event.

My camera had a problem.

So I had to borrow
Ravishanker's camera.

- Oh, is it?
- [chuckles] Chinon Camera.

Hello Ravi,
this is Bhagwan Singh here.

Hello, sir.
My name is Bhagwan Singh.

I'm a photojournalist.

Sir, I had seen this girl
at the rally that night.

'Sir, she was
talking to Haribabu'...

...but there was
one more person with them.

'He was wearing
kurta-pyjama like me.'

There was
a writing pad in his hand.

Sir, he looked just like us.
Like a journalist.

[Amit] 'Are you talking
about this man?'

Yes, sir.

'He's the one. I'm 100% sure.'

I don't know
how to explain it, but...

...he was staring at me
in a strange manner.

I asked Haribabu
who that person was.

He said that he was a journalist
and also a friend of Ravishanker.

So, even I...

Who is Ravishanker?

Sir, he's also a photojournalist
like us.

Hari, Ravishanker, and I
are in the same fraternity.

Sir, in fact...

...Hari told me that he used
Ravishanker's camera...

...for shooting that night.

Today, when I
called Ravishanker...

...to ask about
the kurta-pyjama guy...

...he said he didn't know that guy.

'I found it quite strange.'

If Ravishanker
doesn't know this guy...

...why did Haribabu lie to me?

I'll take your leave.

So, what do you think, sir?

Seems genuine.
Definitely a good lead.

- So, let's bring Ravishanker...
- No, not now.

There is no point.

If you go and ask him now,
what will he say?

The same thing
that he said to Bhagwan Singh.

'That he doesn't know
the kurta-pyjama guy.'

It will unnecessarily alert him.

Instead, just keep him
under constant surveillance.

Sir!

[religious chanting]

[tense music]

Sir, this is Haribabu's house.

His parents live here.

- Hello, sir.
- Hello.

Is this Haribabu's house?

- Yes.
- We are government officials.

We have come to pay compensation
to the victims from the blast.

Can we please come in?

Please come.

[Haribabu father] 'My wife and I
were very proud'...

...to have had Haribabu as our son.

We don't know why
God took him away very soon.

What will we do now?

Don't worry, sir.

That's why we're here to give you
compensation from the government.

Did Haribabu work
for the Congress party?

No, sir.

[Haribabu father] 'He was
a freelance photographer.'

He used to sell his photos
to newspapers...

...and bring money back home.

That's how we survived.

So, he went
to the Sriperumbudur rally...

...only to click photos, right?

- Yes, sir.
- [Haribabu mother] 'So, sir, '

what value is the government...

...planning to put
on my son's life?

That depends on what information
you share with us.

- Durai.
- Sir?

Get some snacks
and coffee for them.

- Okay, sir.
- Sir, please wait!

You have come to our house.

We know how to take
care of guests. One second...

Ma'am, it's okay!

[Haribabu mother] 'You,
please wait.'

Devi, get biscuits from the store.

Okay.

- Durai.
- Sir.

- Did you see the cash she had?
- Yes. I saw, sir.

Put them
under 24-hour surveillance.

Yes, sir.

[police sirens]

SIVAGAMI TEA SHOP

Amma's punctuality is next level.
Her convoys leave at 9:30 a.m. sharp.

Is it? Every day?

[Tea seller] 'She will not see
rain or storm, exactly'...

...'at 9:30 a.m. her vehicle
will keep going.'

[Vijay Karan] 'Sir, we're sure
this girl was the bomber.'

We'll find out their names soon.

One more thing...

Two months ago,
we intercepted a message...

...on LTTE's wireless hub station.

An operative called Jack
had sent it...

...to Pottu Amman,
their Intelligence Chief.

'We feel that
this is that same Jack.'

That message was,
"Get ready for Delhi."

"Send Black Tigress Gauri
with Uncle."

What does that mean?

They want to attack Delhi?

Sir, we think
that Gauri was their backup bomber.

Their Plan B.

In case their Plan A failed.

'In case Rajiv ji had not gone
to Madras for the campaign'...

...they would have attacked Delhi.

I heard that someone called
the High Commission in Colombo...

...and asked, "Is Rajiv ji alive?"

I can't believe that despite
having so much information...

...we couldn't save Rajiv ji.

Sir, we thought
it was a prank call.

Put in more effort...

...and before the country
faces any more loss...

...stop this Black Tigress.

[indistinct chatter]

Here... Ice cream.

'Eat, my dear.'

My whole life...
I prepared for this mission.

What do I live for now?

Athirai, a Black Tigress' duty
is to follow orders.

Don't worry, be patient.

Your time will come.

There are enough enemies out there.

[suspenseful music]

[Amod] 'Keep them here.'

Sir, the immigration department
has sent these files.

Sir, among all the Sri Lankan
refugees who got asylum in India,

we have
to find out who...

...are LTTE operatives.

Durai was right, sir.
There are many of them.

In my village, it's called...

..."finding a needle
in a haystack."

Sir, I had a very interesting
conversation with Q Branch.

They have provided us with
the names of two individuals...

...that they believe
we should be aware of.

Okay.

They said
that these two individuals...

...are involved
in every LTTE operation...

...that takes place in Madras.

One of them is Subha Sundaram.

He is a senior Tamil journalist.

Ravishanker is his associate.

The guy Bhagwan Singh
told us about.

[Raju] 'Known LTTE sympathiser.'

He is politically connected, that's
why he's involved in everything.

Sir, it seems he had gone to Jaffna
last year to meet Prabhakaran.

He's become more active
after returning from there.

He has a direct connection with...

...Baby Subramaniam.

'He is a Sri Lankan Tamil.'

'Again, a known LTTE propagandist.'

Books like Satanic Forces
and newsletters...

...are printed
at his printing press.

He played a significant role
in brainwashing...

...youngsters and local Tamils.

After the assassination,
he either went underground...

...or went back to Jaffna.

Okay.

So, we'll start round-the-clock
surveillance on Subha Sundaram.

But let's be very careful.

If we take him into custody
without evidence...

...then we may face bad publicity.

Right, sir.

- What is this?
- This?

The immigration department
has sent this.

No, what is it called
in your village...

It's called, "finding a needle
in a haystack."

- [all chuckle]
- So, let's find the needle.

- Come on.
- Yes, come.

[dramatic music]

[Baby Subramaniam] 'I
risked my life by coming here.'

'Since the matter
was so important.'

Pottu Amman told you
very clearly, right?

They want you and Shubha
to take the next boat out.

I still have work pending here.

I've already conveyed
my intent to Jaffna.

'It's our time now.'

'We need to go
after the next target.'

Who is the next target?

Jayalalitha.

We should wait
for a year, at least.

This is not the right time.

I just delivered our freedom
struggle's biggest success.

Why can't you trust me?

Pakya, this isn't about trust.

They have a special team
on the case now.

All eyes are on the LTTE.

This is not the right time
to go after Jayalalitha.

Brother, they also have
Haribabu's camera.

We don't know what other
photographs he might have taken.

'They might even know
your identity.'

Pakya, your staying back
puts focus on our people here.

It compromises our broader mission.

If Thalaivar was here, he would
also say the same thing.

You don't have to tell me
what he wants!

'We've fought and bled together.'

He has always trusted me
with our cause.

[door knocking]

Why are you people
coming here again and again?

Can you please move?

Why are you treating us
like criminals?

[screams] Move aside!

Step back.

Go! Search everything properly!

Purse, diary, calendar,
note, paper...

- Ragothaman.
- 'Sir.'

Where are their other houses?

[murmurs]

Satanic Force.

Their bestseller.

According to this,
Rajiv Gandhi is responsible...

...for whatever bad
is happening in the world.

He was their enemy number one.

Considering the hatred they felt
for Rajiv Gandhi...

...I don't think they
would've given up...

...even if their plan
in Sriperumbudur had failed.

They would've kept on trying.

Yes, sir.

Sir, I found this bill.

Poompuhar. Tamil Nadu
State Emporium, Anna Salai.

Sandalwood garland.

Even the bomber had
a sandalwood garland, right?

Yes, sir.

Sir, you won't believe the date
of purchase.

May 21st.

Too much coincidence.

'This is the bill
of the sandalwood garland...

...that your son bought on May 21.

'And that same night,'

a bomber also used
a sandalwood garland...

...to assassinate Rajiv Gandhi.

Are you still going to deny
any connection to this?

Dig it up.

[Amit] 'We have found
the treasure, sir.'

Prabhakaran.
He was Haribabu's God.

Here is the list of medicines.

I'm sure it's for
injured LTTE cadre.

What is this?

Sir, these are the sketches
of Vellore Fort.

'Many LTTE operators
are jailed there.'

And sir, these are...

...the letters that Haribabu
and his girlfriend Sundari...

...wrote to each other.

In one of them, he wrote that he
was going on a dangerous mission.

'His girlfriend tried to stop him.'

'She even asked him
what that dangerous mission was.'

But Haribabu doesn't answer her.

He doesn't mention the names of
anyone connected to this mission.

However, the aim of the mission
is clear from the timing.

The assassination of Rajiv Gandhi.

So, it's clear that Haribabu...

...was definitely involved
with the LTTE.

- Yes.
- He was the photographer, whose job...

...was to click pictures
before and after the assassination.

Correct.

Also sir, Haribabu was in touch
with two photojournalists.

Those guys are also connected
to the LTTE.

We know them.

Ravishanker and Subha Sundaram?

Right, sir.

Haribabu's mother confessed that
a day after the assassination...

...I mean, on 22nd May...

...Ravishanker and Subha Sundaram
visited her house...

...to ask about Haribabu
and his camera.

I'm sure they didn't know
at the time...

...that Haribabu was killed
in the bomb blast.

They must've thought he was injured
which is why he didn't go to them.

Imagine how ridiculous this is!

An over-enthusiastic photographer
goes so close to Rajiv ji...

...with the greed
of clicking good pictures...

...that he gets killed in the
blast, but the photos he clicked...

...become the most
important lead...

...to the country's
biggest assassination.

Otherwise...

...this would've been
a perfect crime.

[traffic noise]

[audience chatter]

Hey!

Can't wait to see
my Thalaivar Rajini!

Sorry, Shankar.
You can't watch the movie.

- What?
- You need to go to Vedaranyam.

And pick up a package
from Shanmugam.

- No chance!
- Not my idea.

- It's an order from Jaffna.
- The Thalaivar...

Don't worry. I'll tell you
what your Thalaivar does.

You can leave.

A*****e.

[tense music]

[radio buzz]

Has my request been accepted?

Zulu89. Quebec2.
Foxtrot. Foxtrot32.

'Zulu. Mike38'

No.

'Echo. Victor9.
Dot. Dot. Zulu. Bravo36.'

'Charlie, Charlie.
Tango Dot34. Zulu. Mike38'

Return immediately.

'Lima22. Tango. Dot34.'

Tomorrow itself.

Yes.

[bike running]

Go. Come, come.

[Cop] 'Show me your license.'

- From which area?
- Nearby...

'Okay, fine.
Go. Next.'

Take out your license.

Don't you have a license?

- No, sir.
- Any other ID?

Sir, I'm in a hurry.
I have some important work.

Please let me go, sir.

Are you a refugee?

Yes, sir. I'm a refugee.

Where do you live?

In Madras, sir.

What are you doing here?

Nothing much, sir.
Just like that.

I came to see the beach.

You rode 8 hours
to see the beach?

There's no beach in Madras?

- Get off your bike.
- Sir...

Hey! Get down! Now!

[Sundar] 'Hello?'

- [Sundar] 'Hello?'
- [Durai] 'Please tell.'

Hello. This is Sundar, calling from
Vedaranayam police Station.

[Sundar] 'We've got
a suspect here.'

'We've questioned him.
He doesn't have an ID.

He looks like an LTTE member.

[Sundar] 'This is why I called
to inform you.'

Good job.

Sir, he had a small diary on him.

'There are only two telephone
numbers in it, of Das and Nalini.'

'I've already given this
information to the Madras Q Branch.'

'They are following up on it.'

Can you fax me
that information as well?

Sure, sir.

Sir...

I think you should talk to him.

'He for sure has LTTE connections.'

Okay, send him to Madras
immediately.

Okay, sir.

[typewriter noise]

This is the biggest case
in India right now.

Everyone is talking about it.

I'm hundred percent sure
they will be caught very soon.

[Woman 1] 'This lady bomber
seems so normal, like you and me.'

What do you think makes someone
blow themselves up?

Injustice!

You're right...

...we have no idea
what they must have suffered.

Don't talk rubbish.

They massacred 16 innocent people.

If you kill people
to prove your point...

...you don't have my sympathy.

You are also right.

The police are here.
They want to talk to you.

Yes.

I'm coming.

- Madam.
- Tell me, sir.

I'm from the Q branch
of Madras Police.

Yes, sir.

Do you know
who Shankar Koneshwaran is?

He is a Sri Lankan Tamil.

No. I don't know anyone
by that name, sir.

And anyone named Das?

Don't know him either.

Oh, is it?

Your name and your office number
were found in Koneshwaran's diary.

Sir, I'm just a regular girl
from Madras...

...trying to lead a normal life.

Inspector, has this Koneshwaran
done something wrong?

We don't know as yet, madam.

We're just following up
on whatever is in his diary.

Okay, sir.

Madam, I might need to speak
to you again.

- What is your address?
- Yeah...

House no. 32, 1st cross street.

Periyar Nagar East.

You know the Periyar Nagar
bus stand, sir?

- Yes, I know.
- It's right next to it.

Okay.

Do you have a telephone
at home?

No, sir.

Okay, madam.

I'll get in touch again
if the need arises.

Thank you for your co-operation.

For sure, sir.

I have a bad headache.
I'm going to go.

[door knocking]

[Nalini] 'Das! Das!'

What happened, Nalini?
What's wrong?

- Nalini...
- The police came to the office.

Calm down.

Please calm down, Nalini.

We expected this to happen.

And we also know
what we have to do, don't we?

Pack our bags.

I'll take care of the rest.

Grab our clothes.

[vehicles arriving]

[door opens]

Come on.

[tense music]

Q branch thinks
you're an LTTE operative.

Sir, I'm just an innocent refugee.

When did you come to Tamil Nadu?

In January.

Where do you live in Tamil Nadu?

In Madras.

Write down your address.

What work do you do?

I work in a garage.

[Ragothaman] - 'Which area?'
- In Saidapet.

[Ragothaman] 'What is the name
of the garage?'

Name of garage?

'You forgot where you work?'

'Right?'

Okay, tell us since when
do you know Das and Nalini?

Sir, that is not my diary.

'It is my friend's.'

What is your friend's name?

Bala. He lives in Anna Nagar.

Okay.

Give us Bala's address.

This Bala doesn't exist.
He is speaking nonsense.

[Ragothaman] 'I'm pretty sure'

'there is no Bala
living in that address.'

Think carefully.

And tell us the truth.

When I came here...

...Das helped me get settled
and find a job.

Nalini is his sister.

I lied because I don't want them
to get into trouble.

We are going to arrest
Das and Nalini.

If your stories don't add up...

...next time, the conversation
won't be so friendly.

Sir, this is Nalini madam's desk.

Ma'am, where is Nalini?

She left
because she wasn't feeling well.

Let's go! Periyar Nagar!

[jeep starts]

What the hell!

[door opens]

Sir, my mouth is so dry.
Can I have some water?

Those who lie to us
don't get food. Or water.

Tell us the truth.

We'll give you everything.

Sir, I am really telling the truth.

Believe me, sir.

Sir, I feel he's telling the truth.

He's such an idiot that he
got caught by the traffic police.

How can he lie?

Maybe he is a low level operative.

And that is why he has been left
to roam on the roads...like a dog.

Only important members of the LTTE
are given... what is it?

Cyanide capsules, right?

And you don't have one.

You're not even worth
one cyanide capsule.

He is a total waste.

'And he's wasting our time too.'

[Raju] 'Come in.'

[door opens]

Sir, Inspector Mathi met Nalini
this morning.

Nalini has run away.

Well,
your friend's innocent sister...

...that Nalini...

...the police paid her a visit.

The very next minute, she ran away.

She has disappeared.

'She also gave a fake address.
Like yours.'

Looking at her actions...

...it doesn't look like
she's helping refugees.

This confirms that you are LTTE.

We are arresting you under TADA.

'Your story is over now.'

There's no point
in talking to you nicely.

- Durai.
- Sir?

Do whatever you want to.

- Let's go, sir.
- Come on.

Can we talk now?

'Whose bike was it?'

'Where have you come from?'

'Spill it! TELL!'

Come on, answer!

Speak up! Answer me!

- 'Tell me the truth!'
- Sir, please...

[screams in pain]

MADRAS TO MADURAI

We've been sitting here
for two hours, Ragothaman.

I don't think
he'll tell us anything.

- 'Let's come back tomorrow.'
- Okay, sir.

Sir, shall we go?

- Durai.
- Sir?

Take care of him.

- Hey, come in...
- Kodiakkarai!

Kodiakkarai.

What about Kodiakkarai?

I'm one of the 9 member
assassination squad...

...who came to Kodiakkarai
on May 1st.

The names in your diary-
Das and Nalini.

Were they also part of your squad?

No.

Das is an LTTE operative
whose real name is Murugan.

He came before
to set up our mission.

- 'Nalini is his girlfriend.'
- So is Nalini also LTTE?

I don't know.

I've never seen her before.

Where are the rest
of your team members?

I don't know.

[Amit] Where are they?

As per the plan, everyone goes
their own way after the mission.

'One hand should not know
what the other does.'

[Ragothaman] 'Who is this?'

'What is her name?'

She is Dhanu.

She was the Black Tigress
chosen for this mission.

[Amit] 'Who is this man?'

Open your mouth!

That's Sivarasan.

This whole operation
was his brainchild.

Ask him where Sivarasan is.

Where is Sivarasan now?

Where is he?

Has he escaped to Jaffna?

No.

[Ragothaman] 'Then what?'

- He's still in Madras.
- How are you so sure?

I would have heard if he had left.

What if he left last night,
after you were caught?

Maybe.

But...

...I've heard that he's planning
something else.

What kind of plan?

He is planning to go after
another high profile figure.

Who is that figure?

Sir, I genuinely don't know.

Tell me who is it?

Sir, I don't know!

Durai.

Sir, I really don't know who it is.
Please, believe me.

I just spoke to Colombo
over the phone.

When I had been there
and showed them this photo...

...they weren't able
to identify Sivarasan.

I just received a packet from them.

They weren't able
to identify him because...

...'his front and side profile
shots don't match.'

This is strange, sir.

They had this photo in their files
all this while.

Sir, they look like
two different people.

[Kaarthikeyan] 'Exactly.'

'It seems he lost an eye while
battling the Sri Lankan army'...

...'and since then, his people'...

...call him One-eyed Jack, or just
Jack, like the Marlon Brando film.

'And you won't believe this.'

His aliases.

Sivarajan, Rajan, Raja...

...Arumai, Aravind, Raghuvaram,
Raghu, Raghuvappa.

No wonder he's a ghost.

Now that we know of him...

...make his photos public,
both of them.

They should be everywhere,
on television and newspapers.

The entire country should know
who we are searching for. Okay?

Let's see
where this ghost escapes to.

All the best.

[car door closes]

[car door opens]

[waves crashing]

[engine running]

Wait here.

[Coast guard] 'This is the Indian
Coast Guard.'

'Stay where you are!'

'If you move, we will shoot.'

[tense music]
