What's going on here?

A murder suspect

we are investigating
comes to the station.

You fools collect his address,

and yet he easily gets away
in front of your eyes.

-And here you are! Idiots.
-Sir.

We need to submit the UAPA report
to the High Court.

-Submit the same one as the last time.
-Sure, sir.

-Ask Satheesh to go.
-Okay.

You continue.



Sir, we immediately left,
looking for that bus.

But it reached the stand
before time.

We have intensified our search.

He would not have left the city.

Don't waste energy
justifying yourself.

You could not catch him
when he was at the station.

But...

why did he give
the same fake address

at the lodge and the station?

Sir, I think he doesn't know
that the woman is dead.

He must have thought
she fell unconscious.

He may not even know
that we are after him.

That could be why he gave
that same fake address

when he was called to the station
regarding the theft in the bus.



Hmm.

Or else, he could be a psycho.

-A psycho?
-Yes, a psycho who fears nothing.

-Sir.
-What now?

When do you want
the election notification meeting

to be scheduled?

-Keep it for tomorrow morning.
-Sir.

Tell everyone it's mandatory
to participate.

-Okay, sir.
-Just go, lock that door.

Sir.

Just can't discuss
a serious matter here.

Someone always keeps interrupting.

Sir, we are searching
every lodge here--

What's with it, Manoj?

Sir, its key--

You stay there holding it
if there's no key!

What did that union leader do?

He was remanded this morning.

You wrote a strong case, didn't you?

He created a lot of trouble
in the station also.

Shit. Just missed him.
He was right there with us yesterday.

You sound as if
we were partying with him.

-No, sir, he escaped--
-Will you stop, Vinu?

I hate to hear even his name.

I am not able to go on leave
because of that scoundrel.

You can tell CI sir that
your wife is about to deliver.

Yeah, to hear
his rhyming swear words!

Pradeep, come in, sit.

No time for all that.
Pick up what you need.

-Give me 5 minutes.
-Okay.

Pradeep sir, here.
Have some bananas.

-Take some.
-We can have it on the way.

Sir, I have applied for a loan
from the cooperative society.

Please put in a word.

What's the urgency now?

-I'm planning to renovate my house.
-Hmm.

Planning to get married soon?

No! Not immediately, sir.

Seek your family's consent
when you marry.

Or else,
you will end up running around

like Sunil is doing now,
without any support.

Sir, they are happy together.

They don't feel any loneliness now.

Now, it could be like that.

Things will be different
when they have a kid, you see.

It may have been difficult
if he was unemployed.

He has a job now.

Take my case.

I was the last one to get a job
among my friends.

They used to invite me
on trips before.

Then, it stopped.

I wouldn't have money for my share.

For festivals, all the cousins
get together at my house.

I could not afford to give the kids
even candy when others gift money.

I could never have the food I liked.

-Brother!
-What?

I am going to file a complaint
against Shiju.

I can't live in fear like this.

I have been telling you this
for so long now.

File a complaint
using his phone number

and his address.

So much trouble.

To induce the pain also
I have to walk.

Have you thought of a name
for the baby?

-Hey.
-What?

-A name?
-Shiju.

-What?
-Damn! Continue your walk.

Are you worried about my delivery...

or about that Shiju?

What are you saying?

I won't get leave
if we don't catch him.

I am the one delivering.

Why do you have to
take leave for that?

Dear, women long for their husbands'
presence in times like this.

Don't you have that feeling too?

You don't even know
how to boil water.

What's the point
of you taking leave?

I will end up taking care of you
and not the baby.

It's better you go to work.

My phone is ringing.

Oh, it's sir.

Hello, sir.

I will go at once.

Okay, sir.

-Duty calls.
-What about now?

The husband doesn't want
to stay with his wife now?

What is this, dear?

What, sir,
are you arresting your wife?

No, dude.
I'm walking her to lose weight.

These guys!

Can we walk a bit fast?

I need to report for duty.

Shiju, Parayil House, Neendakara.

He has repeated
the same address here also.

When did he take a room here?

Last September.

Do you know his phone number
or address or any other details?

I don't know him that well, sir.

He comes here sometimes,

so I just know his name.

He has never talked to me.

Why?

He comes here to fulfil his need,

finishes that and goes off happily.

Nobody stops to chit-chat
in between.

Manoj.

He would have stayed in
several such lodges in Kochi.

Investigate all those.

Especially the ones that don't ask
for ID cards or other details.

-Okay, sir.
-Right then.

Dad.

Are you at Indian Coffee House?

I'll be there soon.

-Hey.
-Yes.

-Take out the old registers.
-Okay, sir.

Has he taken a room here before?

Sir, I don't remember.

He took a room here
in September 2009.

The same Neendakara fake address.

This Shiju has taken
a room here 3-4 times.

Who is he?

This Shiju is around 50 years old,
but not squint-eyed.

You have just one register
from 2006?

Most of them have been
staying here for long now.

-Have you not collected their IDs?
-No, sir.

Did he have a squint eye?

I didn't notice, sir.

Sir, he took a room
in November 2010.

But under the same address.

-In November?
-Yes.

He was here recently.

Still, don't you know
anything about him?

No, sir, I don't know.

We have information
that he is squint-eyed.

Do you remember seeing
anyone like that?

A squint-eyed guy...

Yes, one such guy
has taken a room here.

I am not sure if it's the same guy.

I started working here a year ago.

During this time,
he has stayed here 2-3 times.

Bring your old registers.

Buy some water, sir.

-One bottle is enough, right?
-Yes.

-One bottle of water, please.
-Okay.

-So hot...
-It's extremely hot.

Here.

Drink more.

Sir, I have a case.

What case?

I received a death threat.

Here is his address
and phone number.

Brother, we are from
Ernakulam North station.

This place is
under Edappally station.

Do one thing.

You go there and file a complaint
at Edappally station.

That's it.

-Right, then. Let's go.
-Bye.

Pradeep sir.

He had taken a room here in 2008.

Using the same fake address.
But there is a phone number too.

That could be fake too.

But this is the first time
we are seeing

a phone number written by him.

-Let's see the CDR.
-Okay.

Let's stop at Indian Coffee House
on the way.

Okay, sir.

My father-in-law is waiting there.

Oh, okay.

What?

We are going to Indian Coffee House.

So what?

You get really good coffee there.

That will give you the energy
to investigate.

Not just energy,
they serve beef cutlets too.

They are lip-smacking.

But we may not get enough time.

Why not?

He was married recently.

He must be close
to his father-in-law.

They will have a lot
to talk about the future.

-Really?
-Yes.

-That left turn ahead?
-Yes, the same.

I will be back soon.

Wait for me in the vehicle.

Looks like he is not on good terms
with his father-in-law.

-Really?
-Yes.

-Hello, Dad.
-Sit, son.

I was free when you called.

Something urgent came up after that.

So, I will have to leave soon.

How come you are here?

It has only been a week
since the wedding.

You have not come home even once.

Yours is a 9-to-5 job, right?

You can come over after that.

Won't you get
to take some days' leave?

I had applied for a week's leave.

That's when
this murder case happened.

Also, this isn't the kind of job
where we can go home after 5:00 p.m.

I came here
mainly for something else.

-What?
-See this. It's a friend's shop.

There are good offers there.

You tell me what all you need
in the new house.

We can purchase from there.

We have everything right now.

She is very happy.

That's what I feel.

We were planning to come there
next week.

Did Athira tell you anything else?

No, she has not told me anything.

-Let's not tell her we met here.
-No, I won't.

-Can I leave then?
-Okay.

-Dad.
-Yes?

Can I ask you something?

Go ahead.

Do you have any vision problems
due to your squint eye?

No, nothing.

It is related to a case.

Is there any difficulty that you face
in your day-to-day life due to this?

When I was in school,
kids used to tease me.

But then, my family and
friends were supportive.

So, it was not an issue for me.

But it's not like that
for some others.

They take it as a serious insult...

and get angry with society.

People have different natures.

But, son, for me...

this was a blessing.

Why, Dad?

It has become my identity.

After meeting once,

people don't forget me easily.

I noticed his squint eye when
he was writing down the address.

I won't forget his face
because of his eye.

-Yes, sir.
-I sent a number from 2008.

That same case, right?
Yes, we got it, sir.

They are looking into it.
It will take a while. Please wait.

I will give you five minutes more.
I need it within that time.

Go.

Here is the list, sir.

There aren't many incoming
or outgoing calls.

Only a few calls have come.

Most of those numbers
are not active now.

But two of those numbers
are still active.

I used to teach dance at a school
in Fort Kochi before.

We used to order the evening tea
and snacks from a nearby teashop.

This Shiju used to supply that.

So, you used to call him daily
regarding food delivery.

They often didn't pick up the phone
when we called that hotel.

When we complained to the owner,

he gave us Shiju's number

and asked us to call him
for anything.

Sir, I used to work
in the marketing section

of a company named Interman.

The company had given me
a lot of phone numbers.

I used to place marketing calls
to them.

But if you ask me
the details of those people,

I don't know anything.

When did you move here
from Fort Kochi?

I worked there
for around 6 months only.

Then, by mid-2008, I moved here.

Teacher, don't mind me asking.

How's this Shiju as a person?

His behaviour was fine with me.

He used to deliver tea and snacks
and leave.

He wouldn't talk to anybody
or smile. A harmless fellow.

You have called this number not once
but many times.

We call a person many times
as part of marketing.

It must have happened like that.

Not just with you. Were there
any complaints about him

from the students
or the other staff members there?

It was a small school, sir.

We were only a few.

We would have heard about it
if something had happened.

So, there was nothing.

Do you remember his face?

He was squint-eyed,
but I don't remember anything else.

You must be meeting a lot
of people as part of marketing.

Do you remember meeting
a squint-eyed person?

Squint-eyed...

No, sir.

What's the name of the hotel
in Fort Kochi where he worked?

The hotel was directly opposite
our dance school.

Hotel... Hotel Ameera!

-Yes, sir.
-Where are you, Sunil?

-We are near Hotel Ameera.
-Okay, we have reached.

-Sir!
-Keep your hand down.

What's the situation there?

The owner is at the counter.

Also, 3-4 staff members.

Who is Shiju among you?

Why are you all looking at me?

Sir, my name is Biju, not Shiju.

It's not him.

That guy must be around 35
with a squint eye.

Oh, he used to work here before.

It was in 2008, I think.

Do you have his address
or phone number?

I don't have his address.

Let me check for a number.

Here it is.

-Pradeep, see this.
-Sir.

Ask him how he came to work here.

He joined after clearing
the PSC and aptitude tests

and was recommended
by the minister.

Give me a break, will you?

This is the same old number
we got from that lodge.

How did he come to work here?

Sir, we have a guy
who supplies staff. Ashraf.

He brought Shiju here.

Do you have his number?

Yes, in that phone.

Pradeep, try this number.

Oh!

This damn phone won't
even let me shit peacefully.

-Are you Ashraf?
-Yes, sir.

If you have a problem standing,
we can sit inside.

Sitting is difficult, sir.
I have loose motions.

Is there a problem?

We have come looking for Shiju,

who used to work in Hotel Ameera.

I know him, sir.

Before Ameera, I got him jobs
in two other places also.

Where?

In Bava's shop in Mattancherry.

Also, in Sopanam on MG Road.

Do you know his house?

I don't know that.

How can we find him then?

I don't know.

Pradeep,

take his details from
the other two hotels he mentioned.

-Okay, sir.
-Sir.

There is a place
where you may find his details.

-Where?
-Check at the police station.

Police station?

Yes, sir.
Check at Eloor police station.

We went to a festival in Eloor.

There was a scuffle with the locals.

We were arrested
and taken to the station.

They collected full details
from the three of us.

I saw Shiju giving his details.
You can ask them.

What's the latest, Manoj?

-Sir, they are searching.
-Come.

Sir!

We are checking the files.
Nothing goes missing from here.

It's an old case.
We just need to track it down.

After all, it's an old case.

Will it take time?

-Only 5 minutes.
-5 minutes...

-Do you have cigarettes?
-Yes, sir.

Sir, I still follow your old cases.

Where can we smoke here?

Sir, you can use that room.

-Come.
-Carry on, sir, please.

Why are you standing outside?
Come in, sit.

Thanks.

Let me look for that file.

I've ordered tea for you.

-That's great.
-Sit.

Now that you are married,
your smoking has reduced.

Nothing like that, sir.

I was messaging.

Like updating me on every case,

you have to now update the family
about your whereabouts.

Not that, sir.

I was hoping to go on leave

when this case came in.

So, we didn't get
to spend time together.

I'm trying to balance that
with texts and all.

I need to wind this up so that...

Nice.

After this,
something else will come up.

Family cannot wait
till we finish all the cases.

This has become a topic
in her family.

Manoj, keep the family
and others away from your affairs.

The couple should decide
their matters on their own.

People will offer their opinions.

You know well.

Our problems started with
the interference of our families.

We did not have any problems
between us.

We should not allow anyone
to take decisions for us.

Be it family, friends
or other scoundrels.

It will fuck up our lives.

Really, I know it for a fact.

Does she call you?

No.

Not after we separated.

Your daughter?

-What?
-Your daughter.

She calls.

Whenever my photo appears
in newspapers, she calls.

We talk for a long time, go out...

She is in the first year
of her undergraduate degree.

Sir, isn't this the one?

Is it? Did you check?

Yes, this is the one!

Sir!

Sir, we got it.

Oh.

I told you
files don't go missing from here.

We have his full details here.

Three people were involved in
this case: Shiju, Sainu and Ashraf.

-We need Shiju's address, right?
-Yes.

Note it down.

Shiju, Parayil House, Neendakara.

Fuck it!

Fucking nonsense!

Who took you into the police force?
Nonsense.

When a case comes,
can you not verify

if the addresses are fake or not?

Shamelessly walking around in khaki
calling yourself a policeman!

Police, my foot!

Sir, tea.

Pour it down your sir's throat!

Sir...

Sir, I was not the inspector then.

It was a petty brawl.

They were let off on bail
from the station.

They might not have given it
much importance.

-Please let CI sir know.
-It's okay, man.

Come.

Give me a cigarette.

I thought
we could close this easily.

The culprit is an ordinary guy.

Works in hotels and eateries.

For many years,

he has been living among us
with a fake address.

Unbelievable.

We tried to sketch him
based on witnesses' descriptions.

That did not work either.

We asked at the places
where he worked.

Still no leads.

To top it all,

he fooled our police
with that fake address.

Manoj, he is not what
we imagined him to be.

This case...

will not end as we thought.
