In this tense episode, the SIT intensifies its hunt for Sivarasan, believing he may have fled Tamil Nadu. A lucky arrest in Coimbatore leads them to a crucial operative who reveals that Sivarasan was smuggled into Bangalore in an oil tanker. As surveillance sweeps the city, a near-raid on one safe house in Indiranagar misses Sivarasan by mere meters-he was hiding in a neighboring house in Domalur. A tragic misstep by local police in Biroota and Muthati results in the deaths of 17 LTTE operatives, prompting political backlash and urgent pressure on the SIT to capture Sivarasan alive. Meanwhile, Sivarasan, growing increasingly desperate, relocates his team-now including their reluctant hosts Mridula and Ranganath-to yet another hideout in Konanakunte. With Bangalore under complete lockdown and the SIT closing in, Sivarasan's options-and allies-are quickly vanishing.
