(440) What are you talking about
(441) Mr. Dig, if a cockroach enters your kitchen
(442) will you nurture it, or step on it and sweep it away That's all I'm doing
(443) I'm cleaning my home of cockroaches Enough! Tell me where the other bombs are, now
(444) Who are you, anyway Do you have a name
(445) Why do you suddenly want my pedigree, Mr. Dig
(446) when you know me. You know me very well I'm the one who's afraid to get on a bus or a train
(447) I'm the man who's wife thinks her husband is going to war, when he's actually going to work
(448) She's afraid I won't come back, she keeps calling me every two hours to see if I've had my tea, my lunch
(449) actually she's calling to see if I'm still alive If we want to open a shop, right
(450) Just a little shop. I'm afraid to give it a name for fear of it being burned down in the next riot
(451) Because, whoever's fighting whom I'll be the first victim. So
(452) when you see a large crowd pick a bloke, any bloke. That's me
(453) A common citizen of the world A common citizen of Sri Lanka, a country that I love
(454) What makes you so special We all love our country
(455) What kind of man are you, anyway
(456) Who the hell do you think you are Some kind of Superman
(457) Superman? No, I'm not Superman Invisible Man, more like
(458) They've even erased my name from the voting register
(459) When I go to enquire they tell me I don't exist
(460) So, Mr. Dig To purchase
(461) the material for an RDX bomb there's no need to be Superman
(462) The Invisible Man will do Look on the internet
(463) a hundred websites show you how to make a bomb
(464) So don't ask how, ask why
(465) Why? Focus, focus on the present, Mr. Dig
(466) It's coming up to six o'clock, there's one more cockroach left I want him squashed, then I'll tell you where the bombs are
(467) Are you really saying that if we don't kill Akthul Majood you will explode the bombs
(468) Killing innocent people Yes, that is exactly what I am saying
(469) If you release him in a few months he'll kill thousands, directly or indirectly
(470) I'm only asking for one life He's asking for the lives of a thousand people
(471) Compare, weigh the two It's a good trade-off, Mr. Dig
(472) Why these four, when there are so many other terrorists
(473) I drew lots, these four got lucky
(474) Are you afraid to tell me who you are Never you mind who I am
(475) When these vermin masterminded the Central Bank bombing or the Padahuthurai bombing you should have wiped them out
(476) You had loads of opportunities but you didn't do it
(477) It doesn't matter what their causes are whether they're from the north, south, east, west
(478) causes are to be addressed, but not at the expense of innocent lives
(479) They came back, and attacked the railway station
(480) We cried for a few days, then we forgot Then they bombed the sacred city
(481) and the airport... how many people died Do you remember, or have you forgotten
(482) We are forgetting. Forgetting is our national disease, Mr. Dig
(483) Terrorism must be eradicated
(484) Instant justice Why not? Terrorism is instant, why not justice
(485) The more we wait, the more it takes on different shapes, different names, different forms
(486) But the DNA remains the same. Terrorism
(487) You say you want to eradicate terrorism yet here you are terrorizing us
(488) What religion are you
(489) Religion? No
(490) No, this has got nothing to do with religion
(491) Gopinath was a Hindu. Designer of death I killed him. Does that make me a Muslim
(492) Sarath Master, a Buddhist. Responsible for thousands of deaths. I killed him
(493) Does that make me a Christian
(494) You can play the Buddhist-Hindu-Muslim-Christian card with the gullible public, that's your business
(495) You can spew lies on national TV and brainwash the vulnerable pathetic innocents, but
(496) do not connect me to any group
(497) I'm just an ordinary citizen taking a class action
(498) Maybe I am a Christian, or a Buddhist Maybe I am a Communist, or an atheist
(499) Whoever we are, don't we have the right to get angry
(500) Don't we have the right to say, "Enough is enough
(501) So, it's not a matter of race, religion or politics
(502) You must know that the people are very angry
(503) Stop testing their patience
(504) Whatever you are trying to prove will not succeed
(505) I shall find you
(506) I have already succeeded, Mr. Dig I have your attention
(507) Tell me something
(508) Did someone close to you die in these bombings
(509) Why should I wait until somebody close to me dies in such a way
(510) Let me tell you something
(511) There was someone on that train
(512) Young man, about twenty-one Don't know his name
(513) When I came on the train, he used to greet me with a "Hello
(514) And I used to return the courtesy
(515) We didn't know each other's names
(516) We just knew each other through "hellos
(517) He'd shown me his engagement ring just the day before
(518) He was happy
(519) The next day I was late, I missed the train. I escaped death
(520) He didn't
(521) After that, when I took the train there was nobody I knew
(522) Compartment full of strangers
(523) What's it matter who I am
(524) When you step out of your home you may not come back to your family
(525) When your kids leave for school you're not sure you'll see them again
(526) While Akthul, or Gopinath, or Sarath may be at the junction waiting with a bomb
(527) to blow up your dreams, and dreams you have for your loved ones
(528) They are indiscriminate
(529) Terrorism must not be given a chance It must be stopped the moment it raises its head
(530) Yes, but you are acting like a mad terrorist
(531) Let me explain
(532) If they are instrumental in killing 3 or 4 hundred people
(533) you will quietly wait for the courts to answer
(534) I kill four notorious terrorists you're in a frenzy
(535) Okay, I don't blame you
(536) You've decided that we must be complacent and wait for the wheels of justice to turn
(537) That is too little, too late
(538) Think I'm a madman Possibly, maybe, perhaps, Mr. Dig
(539) There are three bombs set and ready to explode at six o'clock sharp
(540) The clock is ticking You're running out of time
(541) Officer Mohideen, whether this is my last call or not, is up to you
(542) That TV reporter, Dilky Thenuwara, and her cameraman will appear in ten minutes, and
(543) confirm Mr. Akthul Majood's death on TV
(544) You see the picture, you know the story
(545) I will then tell you where the bombs are located
(546) Mr. D.I.G
(547) things have obviously gone out of your control
(548) Shouldn't we call the Chief Minister
(549) There will be consequences, Mr. D.I.G
(550) It's too late for me to worry about that Sir
(551) And if things were to go wrong
(552) Right It may well be your funeral
(553) I never liked this from the start
(554) The feeling is mutual, sir Oh, look sir, excuse me. You forgot your mobile phone
(555) Give it to him, Victor, please Wipe it carefully first
(556) We must make sure the Chief Secretary's hands stay clean
(557) Hello Dilky, where are you
(558) Outside the airport. What's going on? What's happened
(559) That explosion You'll see
(560) Come in through the side gate, get close to the airstrip Okay. Let's go
(561) Mohideen, remember... you are a police officer
(562) Sir Mohideen? Can you hear me
(563) Sir Mohideen
(564) Hello! Sir
(565) Ranjan! Ranjan, don't do it
(566) Ranjan! Ranjan, don't We have to take him in
(567) No
(568) Ranjan! Don't
(569) Ranjan, come on You know I can't let you do it
(570) When the terrorist tried to escape, Officer Ranjan Jayaweera and Officer Anver Mohideen confronted and engaged him
(571) For security reasons, we had to shift the location of the prisoners
(572) During the transfer today, they managed to break loose and hijack an aircraft
(573) Officer Ranjan Jayaweera and myself were able to stop them. That's all
(574) The prisoner broke loose and tried to escape We had no choice but to shoot him
(575) Oh, my God Thank you, Mr. Dig
(576) It was a pleasure working with you Where are the damn bombs
(577) We are here live with a breaking story at the Katukurunda airport
(578) The four terrorists brought here by the police tried to escape and all four were killed during the attempt
(579) Why were they brought here Where had they planned to go from here
(580) Miss Dilky, I have some breaking news for you
(581) Dilky, Dilky? Can you hear me Yes, I can hear you. I'm on camera
(582) I know Dilky I know you're on camera
(583) So you can tell your viewers where the last three bombs are located
(584) And listen very carefully, 'cause I'm only gonna say this once. Three bombs
(585) The bus. Pettah to Mattegoda
(586) Number 32
(587) The train. Seven o'clock. To Galle
(588) The shopping mall. Odel's. On the first floor

(605) I see
(606) I see
