## Plot

Srikant and the police force reach Syed’s home. Sajid and Syed give up on trying to kill Dhriti and escape from the house. Srikant rescues Dhriti and Ajit takes her to the hospital. Soon Syed is killed and the police force surrounds Sajid on all sides. Srikant asks him to surrender but he refuses. Instead Sajid fires, and he is shot dead immediately. Srikant remarks that Sajid should have been captured alive so that he would reveal the rebels’ plan. Later, in hospital, Srikant commends Dhriti for killing Kalyan a.k.a. Salman, who was a terrorist. He and Suchitra tell her that he had lied about his job in order to protect his family, at which she embraces him. To comfort Dhriti, Srikant lies that Kalyan is alive and in hospital, though later he tells Suchitra that he is indeed dead.

Muthu leads the police team to search Tigris Aviation, which has traces of the C4 explosives. Both the bomber plane and JK are missing; Muthu tells Srikant about it as the latter leaves for Chennai. Deepan gets to know Bhaskaran’s address in Normandy, France, and informs Sambit of the same. Raji and Selvarasan transport the plane by road in a covered truck. After a brief run-in at a checkpoint, they are advised by Bhaskaran to proceed to Kicha Farms, as he has arranged for it to be used as a base with a runway. Over dinner, Raji asks Selva whether Sajid was successful in his mission, to which he replies in the negative, and that he was not arrested. Raji understands that Sajid was killed.

A passerby finds JK unconscious near the highway and takes his mobile phone. The TASC team is alerted by the phone coming online, and soon it reaches the spot with an ambulance. JK is alive but weak and must be hospitalised. Srikant later meets him in the hospital and reassures him. In Normandy, Bhaskaran is placed under arrest and Deepan pleads with him to reveal his plans to avoid deportation. Bhaskaran refuses to betray his homeland and chooses to die instead, chewing on a suicide pill that kills him within seconds. Kulkarni tells Sambit and Srikant that Bhaskaran’s killing himself means that the rebels are not going to rest, and that the plane must be found at any cost. Muthu explains that the plane was dismantled and transported, and asks the team to patrol all entry points to Chennai. While at the Bangalore highway checkpoint, Srikant calls Chellam, who informs him that Bhaskaran’s friend owns the nearby Kicha Farms, which can be used as a runway.

The TASC team reaches Kicha Farms and the firing soon starts. Many are killed on both sides. Srikant rams into Selvarasan’s hut and has a long, bloody fight with him. As the latter escapes, Srikant guns him down, while Raji escapes for the plane. Srikant and Muthu fire at the plane from their car. As it takes off, they get down and continue shooting until it finally explodes in the sky, killing Raji. Srikant is relieved to have prevented a national catastrophe. PM Basu and President Rupatunga sign the North Sri Lanka port deal in Chennai as planned, amid anti-Basu protests in Tamil Nadu. The TASC team including Srikant, JK, Muthu, Punit and (posthumously) Milind are awarded medals for their bravery, which will be handed to them after retirement. PM Basu personally thanks Srikant for saving her life. Back home, Srikant recounts how he was awarded by the PM to Suchitra and Dhriti. Atharv is unhappy with not being told the truth about Dhriti’s injuries. Suchitra is about to explain her relationship with Arvind to Srikant, when the screen cuts to black. The episode ends with the devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on India and the world. As a teaser for the next season, a Chinese spy in Kolkata receives permission from his boss to launch Project Guan Yu.
