November Story (2021–…): Season 1, Episode 1 - Save Him from Him - full transcript

Sir...

-Hello.
-Hello.

Is it done?

It's done.

SUGAN
WRITER

Finish me off.
Just kill me.

Kill me once and for all

instead of torturing me like this.

Say that again?
Who is torturing whom?

Have a heart.

She is suffering because of you.



Fine, you don't have to understand.

Isn't she your daughter?

You and your father stay together,
right?

Can't you guys come together?

Stalin...

you have made this a habit.

Two marriages and a registration
are waiting outside.

Sir, he'll be here soon.

Come on! This is not the way
I wanted to start my day.

I know everything!

All of you are trying
to sell off my house.

Wait! Let Sudar come back.

How can you say
I don't understand?

Let Sudar come home.



Don't you know who this is?

Yet you make him wait like this.

Do you think we are jobless here?

Come on. She would have
also done the same thing.

How would you know? How'd you know
if Sudar would do the same?

No use discussing that.
Anu must be waiting there for you.

Fine, how long before
your father reaches here?

I won't go!

-I won't go!
-Do as you wish.

-You get out! Get out!
-You deal with your daughter.

I hate seeing all your faces.
It's all because of her.

It's all because of her!

Let her come home. Wait and watch
what I do to her.

I won't go anywhere!

I tried my best, Anu.
He refuses to come.

Sorry, Anu. I don't know
what else to say.

Your father won't let you
sell that house.

I'm leaving for the office.
Meet you there.

Well...

Dad is not coming.

The registration is off.

Sorry for all the trouble.

Don't mind what happened.

That registrar, that's his nature.
He's hot-headed.

Focus on convincing your father.
Don't worry about that buyer.

I'll talk to him.
He will definitely listen to me.

Worst case, if your father
doesn't agree,

don't worry. There are other ways
to sell the house.

I'll let you know.

Don't you worry. Okay?

-Okay. I'll take care of it.
-Fine, I shall hang up now.

-Sir, sir...
-I'm helpless.

Sir, I took this contract
believing you'll help me.

You must have been careful.

The fault is yours.
I think you'll lose this contract.

Don't say that, sir. I'll ensure
there are no more issues.

That's because the worst
has already happened.

-Leave me out of this.
-Sir...

I made it crystal clear
to somehow bring him there.

Do you have any idea
how embarrassing it was for me?

He refused outright.
What could I do?

I've invested my own money
in this contract.

Someone hacked the software.

That overgrown giant
is yelling inside.

I'll lose this contract
even if a single FIR is lost.

Even if a single FIR file
is hacked,

then see what I do
to that fellow Malar!

-Such a cheapskate...
-Excuse me.

Save me, Anu.

He keeps harping that he invested
his own money in this contract.

-Where is he hiding?
-He's here.

Welcome, your highness!

I had my doubts
when your quote was so less.

That's why their work
is so pathetic, sir.

They think a few computers
are enough to begin a start-up.

Sir, trusting them with this work
is a waste of time.

I have no idea what to do.

Suddenly the server crashed,
and all systems froze.

I tried reviving them...

I saw this coming!

-She will rectify it in 10 minutes.
-10 minutes, my foot!

She looks like
she's doing nothing.

Who dares to hack
a police station CCTV?

We've got
only five minutes maximum.

Then our software will fail, and
the FIR files can be easily hacked.

Do something.

Sir, just a minute.

Where are you going?

-She's going...
-Will you follow her everywhere?

This is a manual hacking device.

Someone has come in here
and set it up.

What this device basically does is

it allows them to connect to
our network and then our router.

Through data entry systems, it helps
the hacker access our supercomputer.

So, they have tried to access
our supercomputer using this device.

Let that be. Do we know
who the thief is?

The thief?

Let me explain in a way
you'd understand, sir.

Say, a thief breaks into a house

and steals all the jewellery
from the cupboard.

How would you find him?

We'll nab the prime suspects.

We'll check all the jewellery
and pawn shops in that locality.

If we find any fingerprints,

we'll crosscheck it with those
in the most-wanted list.

Now, imagine if the thief tries
to steal from outside the window,

and he couldn't reach the jewels.

He leaves without stealing.

How would you find him now?

If nothing is stolen,
then there won't be any proof.

Then how can we find him?

Exactly.

So, you can catch him
only if he comes back to steal.

It's quite similar, sir.

We must wait for him to come back.

Wait.

Let that be.

He came here
to install that device, didn't he?

It must be recorded
in the CCTV, right?

CCTV, right?

-Please check it.
-But it got corrupted.

Sir, don't worry. My friend can
recover the lost footage from it.

Who was that? You, right?

-Not me.
-Jerk!

He'll recover it, sir.

By the time they hack again,

we cannot recover the footage.

Someone sneaked in here
like a mouse

It'll be tough to trace them.

We must let them come to us
and then catch them.

In the language of police,

"luring the accused
and trapping him."

Do you get it now?

-Let that be. Listen to me--
-Mukilan, let's not argue.

If you can find him,
then try catching him.

If the "mouse" sneaks in again,
it must not escape.

That's very important.

Okay, sir.

Until the hacker is caught,

they say data entry officials
must not work.

But they want to do a test run
of the website in 15 days.

We can hire more data entry
workers to complete the work.

But then I'll have to pay them too.
I'll be left with nothing.

Anu, I am talking to you.

So far,
which year's FIRs have been fed?

1999.

When are we supposed
to upload it online?

On the 16th.

I have an idea.

I guess he will hack again
on the 16th.

Before that, upload the FIR files
from 1989 to 2009

to the main server.

The current files

up to 2018, upload them
to the backup server.

But why?

When someone's taking
such a risk

coming here
to flick one FIR out of so many,

then he must be desperate
for that file.

We cannot guess which one, out of
these lakhs of FIRs, he needs.

But, comparatively, the chances
are less for it to be an old FIR

because you can find
a copy of old FIRs anywhere.

He must be looking for
a recent FIR

because, as of today,
it can only be found here.

That's why I'm not taking a risk.

Fine.

I'll do as you say.

After a lot of struggle,
I've bagged this contract.

I don't want any problem
by the time this is done.

Careful. Please.

Why so many calls?

What's so urgent?

A contract that I got
by investing my own money.

She's even mocking the SI.

-Who?
-Anu.

I'm worried.

There was a hacking incident
today morning at the office.

CCTV footage is also gone.

Please help me recover
the footage somehow.

We can then nab the culprit.

It's a cakewalk. I got this.

Thanks, dude.

One tea, please.

Next, novelist Ganesan
will share a few words.

Only two people in the world,
throughout the day,

think about murdering people.

One is a murderer,
the other is a crime novelist.

There is only one difference.

The murderer thinks of doing it;
the author writes a story out of it.

And that brings me
to my next story...

Imai illa Vizhigal
[Eyes without Eyelids].

Thank you.

Ganesan...

you have
early-onset Alzheimer's.

You are at the second stage.

Slowly your memories
will start fading.

You will eventually lose
all your memories.

Dad! Dad!

Dad...

Don't worry. I'm here for you.

Come on, Dad.

Anu,

can you do me a favour?

I still have one last story
left to write.

I must complete it
before my memory is lost.

If my condition worsens
before I complete it...

or if I stop writing it...

you must make me write
and complete it.

Can you promise me that?

I must meet her once, at any cost.

Tell me her identity again.

Six feet...

wheatish complexion...

and a limp on her left leg.

I haven't forgotten
any of it, Kuzhandhai.

He ate.
I gave him the medicines.

Don't go to his room
and fight with him.

There's no use fighting with him.

Forget it.

I've bought some spinach,
okra and tomatoes.

Don't worry about it, Anu.

We have enough supplies
for two days.

-You eat on time.
-Okay.

I'm almost home. See you tomorrow.

-Anu...
-What happened?

Well...

your father...

I think
he is talking to himself again.

So, can you please check
if he is asleep?

Is he taking his medicines on time?

Yes, he is.

Then there's nothing to worry.

-See you tomorrow.
-Okay.

We must find her soon, Kuzhandhai.

All my thoughts
are about killing her.

She must die
for what she did, Kuzhandhai.

-Hello...
-Good morning.

Sorry, did I wake you?

-It's okay. Tell me.
-I've a new buyer, a genuine one.

He's from your native place.

He's leaving the city tonight.

Can we show him the house
around 2:30?

But then...

didn't you tell me that
the earlier buyer is ready to buy.

Won't he get upset
if he finds out about this?

Forget him. It won't work out.

This guy is a gentleman.

He will definitely buy it.
Can we show it to him once?

I told you I don't want it!

How many times do I tell you?

Why won't you leave me in peace?

2:30, right? I'll be there.

-Okay.
-I know what's your plan!

I've been observing you.

Let me see
how long this will go on.

You leave it and get up.

-I'll clean it.
-It's okay, I got it.

Your hand is bleeding.
Go and sit down.

She is giving you
too much freedom here.

Do I look like a fool to you?

Do you think I'm a lunatic?

Don't step into my room hereafter.

Aren't you getting late for office?
You get ready and leave, Anu.

Tell her.

Tell her what happened.

Anyway, you'll go behind my back
and tell on me to her. Do it now!

That I talk to the wall.

That I talk to the floor.

Lie to her about me!

Only if you portray me like that,
you'll have a job here.

Isn't that why
you're doing all this?

You tell stories better than me.

You get ready, Anu.
I'll prepare breakfast.

It's okay. You rest.

I'll prepare it myself.

I'll leave this house!

Do you think I won't do it?

I'm talking to you.

Do you even respect me?

Dad, I've got something
to tell you.

Will you listen to me?

What is it?

There are few papers
in that drawer.

Can you get them?

Look...

Here... Come with me, Dad.

What's this?

You only wrote two pages.

Today...

I want you to write
at least four pages.

Can you do that?

Didn't you want to complete
this story as soon as possible?

So, you can complete it
only if you write it. Right?

Come here.

Sit down.

Yesterday, did you...

Well, no...

Malar...

Malar took me out somewhere.
That's it!

Fine...

I'll inform Chitra.

No one will disturb you.

Why are you late today?

Well, that...

Dad's been waiting for you.
Take him to his room.

Come on.

What happened to your hand?

Why is it bleeding?

This is not your usual
mediclaim or insurance work.

This is CRB.

Do you know
what CRB stands for?

Crime Record Bureau.

It's not like this bureau.

All the FIRs since our independence
can be found only here.

Our job is to feed them online.

The software creates a digital copy
of the manual records.

This software was created
by my friend Anu.

She isn't here today
but will come tomorrow.

Clear all your doubts with her.

Understood?

Got it.

What does CRB stands for?

You can go.

The house is indeed big...

but it's too old.
What do I do with this?

You told me it was 5-10 years old.

-This building is good for nothing.
-You can demolish it.

That's a waste.

Just consider the land
and still the price is too high.

-Nope, I don't find it suitable.
-I understand.

Show me if you have
another property.

I know four to five
other properties.

What is he saying?

What did the buyer say?

No idea. Let's see.

I spoke to him.
The deal is almost sealed.

He likes it. The deal will be done.

I can see that.

Well...

you told me there are other ways
to sell if my father doesn't agree.

Tell me what those are.

I understand your need.

That is the only reason
I'm telling you this.

Usually, I am
not such a type of person.

So don't misunderstand me.

I know.

-Just tell me.
-There are many ways.

We can frame a double document

and sell it to someone
who can defend it in court.

If not that...

Just say it.

If nothing works out...

create a fake death certificate
of your father...

and attach it
to the main document.

Your signature would suffice.

Hey! Is it for her or yourself
you're doing this?

Act like a house broker!

Why are you getting angry with him?

That's right.
I must not be angry with him.

I must be angry with you.
Are you nuts?

Wait and watch.
These guys are going to cheat you.

-Let's go.
-I didn't seek her out.

She came to me!

And you talk
as if I am planning to cheat her!

You got a very old house to sell

and her father won't sign
the document! Then what can I do?

I deserve this for helping you.

To hell with you and your house!

Try getting out to sell it,
then you'll know how hard my job is.

Please listen to me...

You get out from here!

What's wrong with you?

He said it because I asked him!

You don't want me
to sell this house, right?

I don't care if anyone stops me.
I will sell this house!

Wait and watch.

Please, somehow...
can we get it done?

Documents aren't a big deal.
I'll get it done for you.

Just convince your father.

I shall bring a buyer tomorrow
and finish the deal.

I have sold many houses here.
Don't worry. I'll help you sell this.

No, that house won't work out.

Can't you come at once?
The buyer won't wait.

Bro, there are requests
for these FIRs.

If you can give it,
we can send them off.

Go, I'll send them.

-It's urgent, bro.
-Just get lost!

Hello, Anu. Hope you'll come
to work today.

Sorry, Malar.
I can't come today.

Tomorrow?

Tomorrow another buyer is coming
to check out the house.

Everyone demands 1% commission.
You give me 0.5%; that's enough.

Don't worry. I'll help you sell it.

Anu, you'll come today, right?

No, Malar. I'm waiting for a buyer.

It'll take time.

Tomorrow?

No, I can't come.

To hell with you and your house!

Is this how you treat buyers?

I'm not buying your house!

How dare you sell my house!
Let go of my hands.

-Ask him to get out!
-Okay, I'll tell him.

I don't want anyone coming here
asking for the house!

-Hello.
-Hello, madam...

I've got a new buyer.
Shall I bring them tomorrow?

What do you say?

Hello?

Near Nungambakkam
railway station...

there's a coffee shop.

-Shall we meet them there?
-Okay, madam.

I'll bring them there.

So this colour, madam...

for two coatings, it would cost
around ₹30,000 to ₹40,000.

So, if you choose the colour,
we can finalize it.

That colour looks good.

The buyer is almost sure.
I'll find out and let you know.

Madam.

Hello.

-Who are you?
-Are you Ganesan sir's daughter?

I remember seeing you as a kid.

How is your father doing?

He is doing fine,
but who are you?

I run a laundry mart
right in front of this house.

Your father visits
this house every year.

He didn't come last year.

I haven't seen you in a long time.

I saw you now, so I just wanted
to know if your father is doing well.

-My dad visits here?
-Yes.

But last year he didn't.

He visits this house every year
on my son's birthday.

Since he found out my son's
birthday, he brings him gifts.

He is fond of my son.

When is your son's birthday?

November 16th.

Are you trying to sell this house?

Is it sold?

I know couple of buyers.
Shall I show them?

I have never seen
a selfish person like you!

Do you think it's her fate
to keep fighting you all the time?

Don't you know she is doing it
for your own good?

Yet you act rude!

We've got no other way, Kuzhandhai.

What can we do
if you don't even try?

Neither your daughter nor I
should tell you anything!

Then how will it work?

Your daughter is striving hard
to take good care of you.

But you keep hiding the medicines
like a kid.

Let Anu come home.

We can't keep you home
and take care of you.

How many times have I warned you
from going into that room?

Where are you...

Why do you have that in your hand?

You just don't understand.

Kuzhandhai is important to me.

I cannot take those medicines.

I've got
a lot of unfinished business.

Why are you sounding strange?

Who is this Kuzhandhai?

You don't know Kuzhandhai.

-None of you know him.
-Who is this Kuzhandhai?

-Drop the knife.
-No way...

if we spare her,
she will tell everything to Anu.

Whom are you talking to?

There's nobody over there.

-I can see him.
-There's nobody!

You don't know.

She must die.

You're scaring me.
Please drop the knife.

-No, you will tell Anu.
-Drop the knife.

You will tell her. I know.

You must die.

Drop the knife.

You must die
or else you'll tell her!

Kuzhandhai is important to me!

You will tell her!

Then what did he do?

He look away
and started talking to himself.

What did he talk about?

Well...

Oh, yes, "Kuzhandhai, if we spare her,
she will tell everything to Anu.

"We must not spare her."

He said that and tried to stab me,
but by then Anu came in.

He will continue this behaviour.

We cannot avoid it.

It's possible
we might be able to control it.

But, for that, he must take
the medicines I've prescribed.

But, Doctor, the character that
he is hallucinating about...

Can I say something?

Guess what is
your father's real problem?

It's you. It's all because of you.

You refuse to accept his illness,
and that's the problem.

Are you guys leaving me here?

Your father doesn't need a mother.

He needs his daughter.

Fine, you reached on time
this time.

What about the next time?

Didn't I tell you six months ago,

that it'll be tough to take care
of your father at home?

But you refused to agree.

I understand that you don't want
your father to feel like a patient.

But then he and the people
around him must be safe, isn't it?

You guys will leave me here.
I know it!

-Please...
-I won't stay here!

These medicines are important
to your father's health.

If he fails to take it, then
his condition may become worse.

He may even forget you.

And the next moment
he may seem just fine.

To do a stem cell therapy and
keep him healthy for seven months,

it will cost us ₹80 lakh.

The quicker you arrange it,
the better.

Anu, quickly, your father...

I can't stay here.

-Please listen, sir.
-Leave me!

-I want to go!
-Then go!

Why are you torturing me?

What happiness do you find in
making me suffer every single day?

Isn't all this for you?

Where am I failing you?

So, if you want to go!
Then leave for good!

I'll also go away someplace far.

You're a sadist!

A sadist?

Whom are you calling a sadist?

I'm forgetting everything.

I'm turning into a lunatic
and will die in few days.

Yet, you torture me with such
treatments. Who is the sadist here?

You or me?

You are a selfish person!

You very well know
I cannot be saved.

-Why are you saying that?
-Hands off me!

You're guilt
is making you do all this.

No, Dad.

Something wrong
has happened last night.

I can understand that.

-I'm trying my best to remember.
-Please sit down.

I don't remember anything.

At times...

I forget where I am
and wonder why I am alive.

Don't cry, Dad.

There are thousands of questions
running in my mind every minute.

My head's bursting.

You are fine, Dad.

I'm content with my life.

if you ever talk about my treatment
or selling the house,

I'll leave for good!

Look...

promise me you won't talk about
selling that house.

Promise me.

I would like to be free
Like that bird in the sky...

I need a death certificate
for my father.

-Hello.
-Hello, madam.

It's me the laundry mart owner.

I showed the house
to a buyer yesterday.

He said he liked it a lot.

The price you quoted,
he is ready to give.

He has promised to come today at 11
along with family and pay the advance.

Can you reach there by 10:30?

Please...

can we shift that to 6:30?

I have an important work
at the office.

Usually no one does any deals
after dark.

Shall I talk to them
and update you?

-Okay.
-Bye.

-Unplug the wire before lifting it.
-Careful!

Okay, bro.

-Hey, there!
-Careful.

Did you set the trap
to catch the "mouse"?

Say something.

Shall we upload the files?

Will you obey if I say no?

All of you may begin!

Turn on your systems.

He has entered our network.

My system is frozen!

It's frozen.

My system is frozen too.

Mine too.

Mine too.

Anu, mine too.

My system is also frozen.

Mine too.

-My system is also frozen.
-Mine too.

Mine too.

Anu...

only 50% is uploaded.

Let's stop here.

We'll at least save
half the files.

It's okay if I lose my contract.

They will skin me alive, Anu.

He would have counted
the total number of systems.

All the systems are frozen?

Yes.

Now, this system will freeze.

Anu! Are you kidding me?

-This is worth ₹3 lakh.
-Come again?

₹3 lakh?

It doesn't look
even worth ₹3,000.

And you say it's worth ₹3 lakh?

I've got the receipt, sir.

It's indeed worth ₹3 lakh.

You underestimated him, Anu.

Thanks to you, the whole server
will be compromised.

I've estimated him correctly.

There's a laptop in my bag.
Get that for me.

Go, get it.

Is this that laptop?

Yes.

While hacking, this won't be a part
of the systems that he counted.

This model wouldn't have
come under his visibility.

He will connect his server to ours.

We both are playing the same game.

If he can break into our place,
then we too can break into his.

Watch me trace his location
and prevent him from hacking us.

Anu!

IP address!

So, you traced him?

Sir, I prevented the hack.

I shall retrieve
all the frozen systems tomorrow.

Anu, I gave your father
his medicines.

He has slept.

Shall I leave? When will you reach?

It's okay. That laundry mart guy
will bring the buyer tomorrow morning.

I'm heading straight home.

You leave. I'll take care.

Okay, Anu.

-Leave it! It belongs to her.
-I want that!

Quiet! Listen to me!

Leave it.
Don't make me slap you.

Hello, we are on our way.

Do you want it?

Where?

Hello?

Hello!

Hello! I can't hear you.

Hello!

I can't hear you.

Return it! Listen to me!

Obey me, or else
I'll leave you in the train.

Stubborn girl!

What happened to her?

Hello.

Tell me.

Get down where?

Which station?

Which is the next station?

Nungambakkam.

Nungambakkam.

-Take care. Please be safe.
-Do you want it?

No problems so far.

Hope you'll be there.

Fine.

What happened to her?

Cerebral palsy.

She has had it since childhood.

Dad...

Dad...

Dad.

-Tell me, Anu.
-When you left home...

was Dad asleep?
You locked the door, right?

I did lock it, Anu.

What happened?

Dad is missing.

What!

Tell me where you are.
I'll come there.

It's okay. I'll go check
if he has gone to that house.

Anu, Anu, Anu!

Dad...

Dad!

Dad!

She is dead!

She is finally dead!

Hey, what's with the dog show?

Take it away and feed it.

-Okay, sir.
-Sir.

Put your hand down.
I'm younger than you.

So, what did the night patrol team
have to say?

They saw nothing it seems.

How will they? It's winter.
They wouldn't have left home.

Who is that guy? He looks like
he has seen a ghost.

He is the one
who saw the body first-hand.

He has a laundry mart
right opposite the house.

He's been in his right mind
since he saw the corpse.

We'll get nothing from him.
Get him admitted to a hospital.

We shall question him
once he is fine.

-Who are they?
-The prospective buyers.

-Where are you from?
-This city.

So, this house is on sale?

-When did you come?
-Around 8:30 am.

-And she's your wife?
-Yes, madam.

Fine.

Okay. We will call you tomorrow...

Excuse me.

She is the house owner.

Ask her to wait.
Let me check inside.

Okay.

The officer will check inside.
Please wait until then.

Hope you've collected everything.

Yes, sir. Sir, the hair samples
that we collected so far...

-What about it?
-Can we send it to the lab?

-How many are there?
-Totally, there are 16 samples.

Paranthaman. Hey!

Say something!

How long
have we been in this field?

-Why do you ask?
-Come with me.

Just come.

-Your name?
-Anuradha.

And you are?

Malar Mannan, sir. I'm her friend.

When did you see it?

Just a while ago, sir.

I unlocked the house and got in,
and saw the corpse lying there.

I informed the police at once.

How is there a corpse
inside a locked house?

Aren't you the only one
with the keys?

No, sir.

There is a spare key
on the meter box.

It is for the brokers
to show the house in my absence.

Also for the painters.

That's wonderful.

That's so irresponsible of you
to leave a spare key.

Now a murder
has taken place inside!

It's a headache for both of us!

Sudalai...

-Listen.
-Tell me.

All the house brokers,
the buyers they brought here,

the painters, and everyone
who knows about the spare key

-collect all their details.
-Okay.

Spare key, my foot.

Sit down, please.

Do you suspect anybody?

Any rivals or enemies?

Do you understand what I'm asking?

You see, you own a house
in a prime location.

Did a political goon or big shot
threaten you to sell it cheaply?

Or anybody like them?

No. There's no one.

It's strange.
How did they spare this house?

In whose name
is the house registered?

-In my father's name.
-What is your father's name?

Ganesan.

Ganesan.

What is his profession?

He's a writer.

So, he's a writer
in a magazine or a newspaper?

No, he is a crime novelist.

His writes
under the pseudonym Sugan.

Story writer.

Excuse me?

Are you writer
"Sugan" Ganesan's daughter?

I am very big fan of his.

How is your father doing?

Is he here?

Dad's doing fine.

I haven't told him yet about this.

Don't worry. I will meet with him
in person and explain everything.

Wait, Did you take a look
at the corpse?

Or do you know
this lady from somewhere?

Okay.

Then check it out properly
and tell us. Come on.

Please come.

Come.

Yes, sir?

I need to go there.

A murder took place in that house.
Vehicles are not allowed that way.

But... my house is there.

Oh! So you live here?

Do one thing.
Park your car here

and walk to your house.

You can collect it
in the evening. Sound good?

Officer, look there!

-Sir, park it here and walk home.
-Sir...

Look, someone's breaking into
the crime scene. Stop!

Sir...

Sir...

What is your name?

Yesu.

Do you stay here?

Did you see
or hear anything last night?

I mean did you hear any noise
from the neighbouring house?

No, I...

I wasn't here last night.
I just came home.

Do you know the owner
of the neighbouring house?

I...

I moved here on the 20th.

Please show me your ID.

Come to the police station
in the afternoon

and give a statement.
Just a formality.

Don't worry, Dad.
Nothing to worry.

There won't be any problem.

I'll take care of it.

Don't worry, Dad.

Nothing to worry.

Nothing will happen.

I'll take care of it.

Kuzhandhai...

Did he take his medicine?

I gave it to him.

You gave it,
but did he actually take it?

Dad...

Dad, Dad,
there is nothing over there.

Dad, please look at me.

-Look at me. Dad!
-Anu...

Dad! Do you hear me?

Do you hear me or not?

There's nothing there! Who are you
looking at? Look here!

Dad, look here!

Now, will you look here or not?

Please go and get the pills.

Okay, I'll get them.

Dad... Dad!

Do you hear me?

Dad, look at me!

Dad!

Here you go.

Dad, here's your medicine.
Take it.

Dad, take it. Please!

Look here. Just have this medicine!

-Dad, please! Take it!
-Anu!

Move away!

Are you nuts? Just leave!
I'll take care of him.

Don't worry.

Look at me.

I am scared.

Now, come on. Take it.

Open your mouth.

Show me your tongue.

Fine. Now, go to sleep.

Go to sleep.

Careful.

Try to get some sleep.

So, Anu, are you sure?

Was it the same lady
you saw in the train?

Yes.

It was her.

I'm confused.

In the evening,
I saw her in the train.

The same lady
is lying dead in my house.

Who is she?

Why did she visit my house?

Why does my dad go to that house
every November 16th?

It's all confusing.

These mysteries
cannot be solved overnight.

Firstly, at the crack of dawn,
I don't want cops at my doorstep.

That's the top priority.

I went there in search of my dad.

I entered inside and
there was blood all over the floor.

Dad was lying unconscious
in a corner.

And that lady in another corner.

Blood all over her body
and the floor.

I froze and didn't know what to do.

I tried waking up Dad
for a long time,

but there was no response from him.

At that moment,
all I could think was

there should be no traces
of my dad over there

and I must save him.

That is all I could think about.

You rescued him
from the crime scene.

How will you save him
from the police?

Anu, that's it!

That's what the cops
will first ask about.

They will ask us how a corpse
ended up in a locked house.

And your answer to that

will decide
if they'll trust your next lie.

And that is why I brought the key.

The laundry guy will bring a buyer
to show the house 6 a.m. tomorrow.

He knows about the spare key
on the meter box.

So, he will use that.

But the key won't be there.

That's when he will call me.

I'll tell him that I have no idea.

He will panic
as the buyer is with him

and ask me if I have a key with me.

I'll casually go there
with the key.

When I open it, we'll all see
the corpse lying there.

I will act as if
I'm also seeing it only then.

The laundry guy and the buyer
will be the witness to that.

Fine, the key idea is good.

What about
all that happened in there?

What if something was left behind?

Suspicion will arise only
if the murder spot is clean.

Hairs, footprints, DNA samples,

all those won't be
taken in to account

because brokers, painters, buyers,
you, me and many have been there.

How can they deduce
which one belongs to whom?

What if Dad's fingerprints
are on the corpse?

I knew that might happen,

so I poured paint
all over the corpse.

By morning the paint will dry.

If it's removed during the autopsy,
it'll peel off along with the skin.

Then how will they find
his fingerprints?

How do you know all this, Anu?

Malar...

my father is the best
crime novelist in India.

Do you think that is enough?

No, Malar.

I will go out
and find what really happened

because...

I know in my heart
that my father did not kill her.

What happened, Anu?

Today...

the cops won't come
to our doorstep.

You have a very unique name.

How long have you been
staying here?

Well... around a month.

That's so vague.

There must be an exact date, right?

Keep writing. Answer me
and write simultaneously.

I won't harm you,
so don't you worry.

Just a general inquiry.

Keep writing.

And when did you say you moved in?

October 20th.

Almost a month.

Are you from around here?

Yes.

Okay. Fine.

And where do you work, sir?

I have retired.

I'll also retire one day.

Just saying "I have retired"
doesn't give the full picture.

What did you do
before retirement?

Here, sir.

What are you blabbering?

Did Mr. Spectacles mention
his profession in the statement?

Do one thing. You may seal
the house at 5:30.

5:30? Come on!

At least free it by 3:00.
Later, I must go to the AC's office.

No way. Five... Hold on.

Oh, sir!

Senior?

It's me, Paranthaman.

From the '84 batch.

Your junior.

-Don't you recognize me?
-Hey, Paranthaman!

-How are you?
-I'm fine.

-How about you?
-I'm fine.

-Good. How's work?
-When did you come? Work is fine.

-Who is he?
-You look exactly the same.

How's your daughter?

-Hope she's doing better.
-Fine...

-You carry on. I'm leaving.
-Hold on.

He's my senior.
He did 43 autopsies in a day!

-Mr. Yesu?
-That's him.

Sir... Sorry, sir.

We have discussed a lot about you,
but I've never seen you before.

I'm Sudalai.
I am the inspector here.

-I am Yesu.
-Nice meeting you, sir.

Me too.

Sir.

Sir, what are you doing here?

Well, there was a murder
in my neighbour's house.

Just came down
to give my statement.

Murder? Which area, sir?

Raja... Rajagopalan Street.

-He's talking about that case.
-Sir, we are handling it.

Indeed, sir.

Oh, that's great!
All the best to you guys.

All the best?

Sir, our heads
are literally spinning.

The victim was
repeatedly stabbed

and paint was poured
all over the corpse.

It's very confusing, sir.

-Poured paint all over?
-Yes, sir.

Sir...

Please bring him too.

Let's show him the corpse.

-How can I ask? I can't.
-Even a small clue will be helpful.

-Only you can bring him.
-How can I ask?

-Paranthaman...
-Sir?

If you don't mind...

can I have a look?

Sir, we are cleaning it.
Please wait for just 10 minutes.

-Fine. Make it quick.
-Okay, sir.

-Sir...
-Why are you wasting so much water?

Sir, please wait for few minutes.

Thirty years just flew by,
isn't it, sir?

Almost...

6,000 autopsies.

How have you been, sir?

I never expected something
like that would happen to you.

I...

I couldn't face you after that.

Ev... Even now...

is it still in the same condition?

Sir...

Cleaning is done.

Cleaning is done.
You may check now.

Sir... Let's go.

Sir, highly brutal!

She was stabbed 47 times.

To erase the fingerprints,

the murderer poured paint
all over the corpse.

How can one even think
of doing all such things?

But the murderer
is either brilliant...

or a lunatic.

What do you think
was the murder weapon?

-Sir--
-Wait. Let them tell us.

-Please tell us.
-Sir, how would they--

They perform more autopsies
than us, Paranthaman.

They are better doctors than us.

Sir, knife, barbed wire,
screwdriver,

It's none of those.
They can be easily identified.

If it was a rusted weapon,
I'd have easily found out.

This looks quite new to me.

Usually, every sharp object
is tested on the wounds

to find out
the murder weapon.

Good!

Did she die before getting stabbed,
or did she succumb to these wounds?

Dude, answer him.

Sir, I am not good in English.

-But I shall try my best.
-Go ahead.

May I have your pen, sir?

Sir, if the victim died
after getting stabbed,

the wounds will look like
red-coloured circular blood clots.

And if the victim was stabbed
after death,

the skin would be yellow
as the blood has already clotted.

Sir, we had a similar case
last month.

A woman stabbed her husband
to death.

She stabbed him in 15 places,
including his throat and back.

Eleven out of those spots
had red-coloured circular spots.

The remaining four spots
looked yellow with pus oozing out.

Look at this victim.
All the stab wounds are yellow.

The victim was
definitely stabbed after death.

So, the cause of death...

is not due to stabbing.

Did you observe her cervical area,
Paranthaman?

Sir?

Come here.

Well, when they turned her around,

did you notice
her cervical area looked flexible?

-You got a trimmer?
-Yes, sir.

Paranthaman...

something has hit this bone
really hard.

Yet, the bone is intact.

The reason for that
is her strong ligaments.

That is why we have
a preliminary visual.

So, the cause of death:
cervical nerve damage.

Not this...
Stabbing wounds.

Can I have look at the photos
of the evidence?

Yes, sir.

None of them
can be the murder weapon.

Maybe...

the murder weapon
is still at the crime scene.

Sir, what are you saying?

Sudalai will seal the crime scene
at 5 o'clock.

It's already 4:30. Let's go, sir.

Sudalai, guess what?

-My pen...
-Sorry, sir.

-Murugan...
-Sir?

It's fine
if you aren't aware of a fact.

But if don't learn it
even after studying it, then...

-It's a mistake. Yes.
-Isn't it?

Wounds before death
are antemortem wounds.

Wounds after death,
those are postmortem wounds.

The third one...

-The women who stabbed her husband?
-Yes, sir.

Those are perimortem wounds.

Hope you won't forget it.

-We won't.
-Yes, sir.

Fine. See you guys then.

Thank you.

Sir, I don't think
this is the one.

It must be around
5.3 to 5.4 feet tall.

For this to reach the neck,

the person must be
at least 6 feet tall.

The victim is after all a woman.

Sir, how tall are you?

I'm 5.2 feet tall.

-Paranthaman...
-Sir?

How tall is that lady?

Exactly six feet, sir.

Come on, sir.

Can't women grow 6 feet tall?

Sir, excuse me.

Yes, you. Please come here.

-Is the officer back here?
-Don't ask me.

The inspector is yet to report
to the Assistant Commissioner.

He headed straight here.

With the experts inside,
the case will be cracked soon.

I think so too.

-Shall we?
-Let's go.

Excuse me...

I was asked to sign a document
as the house is sealed.

Did Mathivanan call you?

Fine, move aside and wait.

They are discussing
something important inside.

What happened?

An autopsy expert
has come to visit the crime scene.

The case will be cracked easily.

Don't you worry. Stay strong.

Sir, the height
till his neck is 5.4 feet.

-Thank you.
-Thank you, sir.

Sir, please come here.

He is 6.1 feet.

That clamp reaches his C3 bone.

That lady is 6 feet.

So...

It must have hit the C2 bone.

And that means?

Cause of death:
cervical nerve damage.

So...

she didn't die due to
the stab wounds on her back.

That's it.

Thank you.

-Ask him!
-Sir...

Just a minute, sir.

Wait.

Is there any specific detail
to trace the murderer?

Or any pattern? Do you see
any such thing, sir?

There are no eyewitnesses.

There are handprints
all over the house.

On top of that,
the house was locked.

Do you see a way
to find the murderer?

The clamp's height
and the victim's height,

when you compare the two...

For a blow with such a force
to damage her nerve,

probably...

the murderer must be
around 5 to 5.4 feet tall.

Sir...

Let's say
you assumption is correct.

Most of our population
is 5 to 5.5 feet tall.

It'll be tough to nab the killer
with that detail.

Is there any other specific thing
you noticed apart from this?

One cervical hit...

and 47 punctures on the shoulders.

So, if a cervical hit is
the cause of death...

then why stab the victim
47 times after she's dead?

Sir, what if...

the murderer was exacting revenge
on the victim.

It is in these kinds of cases
that we see brutal injuries.

But...

if it's vengeance...

the killer could've hit her against
the clamp repeatedly, like he stabbed.

But there's just one blow.

If the victim was stabbed
after her death...

Without realizing
the victims is alive,

the murderer must have
stabbed her repeatedly.

What would have been
the mental state of that murderer?

So, my point here is that...

the murderer must be someone
who is mentally unstable.

So, the culprit
we are looking for...

is a lunatic who is
5 to 5.4 feet tall?

Need not be necessarily a lunatic.

And...

it's not one culprit
you're looking for,

but two.

The murderer might be
a little unstable.

But the person who poured the paint
had a clear plan before doing it.

That means there were two of them.

So...

not everything can be hidden
by pouring paint.

I think, eventually,
it may come out.

Mani!

I have all possible weapons,
right from toothpicks to T-pins.

We'll test them one by one.
I'm sure we'll eventually find out.

Don't poke around the whole day.

Stop pulling my leg and
tell me if you got any leads.

Did you identify that woman?

The murder took place
just yesterday.

There's no Sherlock Holmes in my station
who can crack the case so quickly.

I'll inform you at once if we have
a breakthrough. Now, hang up.

Fine.

Sir.

-Not possible?
-It's tough to trace the buyers.

I want names.

Stop repeating yourself!

-Greetings, sir.
-Sir!

If we start murdering people,

you will only have time to dig up
corpses from every empty house.

We brokers
take our profession seriously...

Make way! Don't block the way.

Good morning, sir.

Stop staring at the ceiling
and say something.

-Who is he?
-Sir...

This crazy guy is always seen
loitering around that house.

-Got him here for questioning.
-What's the use? Carry on.

We can, but we won't
take law in our hands

because we are honest and pure
in our profession as well as life!

Yet what do you guys do?
Arrest brokers like me!

Who do you think you are?

-Call him.
-I want to talk to your inspector!

I'll deal with him in person!

-I need answers today!
-Sir...

-What?
-The inspector is calling you.

Inspector? Where is he?

Oh! He's here?

Yes, sir?

Wait! Weren't you talking
about purity?

You reek of alcohol!

How dare you
enter this station drunk?

Now, get lost!

-Out of my sight!
-Sir, please.

Raising his voice under
the influence of alcohol. Moron.

-Listen, Mathivanan...
-Sir?

-Are looking to get promoted as SI?
-Sir!

Calm down.

-We are investigating since yesterday.
-True, sir.

-But there are no leads.
-True, sir.

We know
how the victim was murdered.

But...

we have no clue who killed her.

True, sir.

Okay, do we know the victim?

We don't know, sir.

Do we know why she was killed?

We don't know, sir.

Why don't we know?

I don't even know who she is.

Then what should we do?

We have to identify
the victim, sir.

Why?

To find the victim's friends
and foes and investigate them.

Okay.

And how will you find them?

Sir, well...

God! Sir, sorry, sir.

I had a family function
to attend yesterday,

so I totally forgot about it.

Give me that lady's photo, sir.

I shall fax it to all the stations
at once. Please, sir.

-Now, go.
-Okay, sir.

-Listen...
-Sir?

What about your SI promotion?

No, thank you, sir.

I shall wait until I'm senior enough
to become an SI.

Fine. Now, go.

Quick. Send the fax.

He's dealing with me
the same way

this officer is dealing
with that lunatic.

Karunakaran, any leads yet?

Wait, I'll be back.

Did he just ignore me?

I've known him
since he was my junior.

See that, Gopi? That son of a bitch
doesn't even have time to reply

but sits jobless round the clock.

Whatever.

I really have no idea who she is.

Who is she?

Now, what's this?

"Commissioner of Police
in Hyderabad...

"The following photos are

"three medical students named

"Binu, aged 21. Height, 5.11...

"Sandeep, aged 21. Height, 5.9.

"Ahmed, aged 21.

"Accused for
rape and murdering

"their classmate Neeta, aged 21.

"The accused boys are missing
from Hyderabad

"and doubted
to be hiding in Chennai...

"In case of
any information about them,

"make sure

"please inform to Jubilee Hills
Police Station, Hyderabad."

Who is the hacker?

Why did they hack the systems?

Did they steal any data or not?

Getting her to speak
is a daunting task.

In this situation, it's impossible.

A tender taken
with own investment,

I wonder where it'll end up.

Excuse me, bro.

What?

When will you retrieve
all the systems?

There's a lot of work pending.

Even I'm wondering about that.

Stop getting of my nerves
and take a hike.

Shilpa...

Bloody nagger.

God! I've started talking to
empty chairs just like Anu's dad.

Looks like somebody died
in Anu's house.

I wonder what that was all about.

Yes. Even I heard the news.

What was the issue?

What issue do you think would
be interesting for you to gossip?

Mind your work.

If Anu finds you gossiping
about her, you'll be in trouble.

It will cost us ₹80 lakh to
keep him healthy for seven months.

Nobody can stop me.
I will sell this house at any cost.

He comes here on November 16th
every year.

It's not one culprit
you're looking for, but two.

Anu...

Chitra's calling.

What's up, Anu?

What's Dad doing?

Don't worry about him.

Today he is doing everything
on his own.

He even remembered
to take his medicines.

I wonder why, but he didn't speak
a word to me

and he hasn't stepped out
of his room since you left.

He is on a writing spree.

Fine, forget that.

Did you eat? That's why I called.

Yes, I ate.

What did you eat?
Tell me what I packed for you.

I knew it.
Now, take out the tiffin box.

Did you?

Open it.

Did you open it?

Eat on time, Anu.

Remember, nothing is not over yet.

You must be strong
if you want to fight.

I'll hang up now.

Anu...

all the work is pending.

When the systems were hacked,
a few of them froze.

If we can repair them and check
if the files are intact,

then we can resume work.

Are you scared, Malar?

I understand you're doing all this
for your dad, Anu.

But it is the duty of the police.

What if later all your assumptions
were wrong and...

it was indeed your dad who...

So be it, Malar.

He is my father.

I will still fight.

Well, Anu...

I think it'd be better to tell
the truth to that inspector.

He was good to us, and he said
he's a big fan of your father.

I feel he might help us, Anu.

Until I find out the truth,

I won't trust anybody, even myself,
in my dad's case.

What's bothering you, Malar?

You won't be in any sort of trouble
because of me.

I shall retrieve the system
and scan the server.

Well, I didn't mean...

-Are you at work?
-Yes, sir.

Do you want me
to come to the station?

Your father's at home, right?

Yes, sir. What happened?

Hello? Hello?

What do you want?

Sorry, the call got disconnected.
Tell me, sir.

I'm on my way to meet your father.
Just wanted to know if he's at home.

Now, hang up.

What's up? Did he speak?

-He's not even uttering a word.
-Keep at it.

Okay, sir.

What happened, Anu?

-What's that?
-Sir, in Hyderabad...

Hold on.

What do you want now?

I'm a little held up
at the office today.

I can't come home immediately.

Can you come around evening?

Who asked you to come?

I don't need you.
I'm going there to meet your dad.

You take care of your work.

Tell me.

A rape and murder case
in Hyderabad.

The accused boys seem
to be hiding in Chennai.

How do we go about it, sir?

Oh, is it? Do one thing...

You take this
and give that to me.

Ask the Hyderabad police
to deal with this.

I shall hunt for these guys.

-Sounds good?
-Sir...

Please, sir. Give that to me.

-Take this! Give that!
-Okay, sir.

Stick it on the notice board!

You know what will happen
if Dad sees him.

That officer
must not suspect anything.

You won't be in any trouble
because of me.

I swear to you.

-Listen...
-Tell me, senior.

-That laundry guy is here.
-Where?

Sir...

-How much?
-₹80.

Had you left the moment
I told you not to come,

you could have made it
even earlier.

Hectic work schedule?

Shall we go in?

Anu, did he find out?

Either way, we must handle it.

-Dad's asleep, right?
-Yes.

He worries me
more than this guy.

Sir, Dad's asleep.

If you can tell me
what the matter is,

I shall inform him
once he is awake.

He's asleep?

So, he's alive?

Then what's this?

I need a death certificate
for my father.

I am aware of everything.

Still, you're the one who got this.

So, go ahead. Explain.

-Kuzhandhai!
-Dad?

Dad!

Dad! Dad, look here.

-Kuzhandhai!
-Don't worry, Dad. Look...

Kuzhandhai! Kuzhandhai!

Where is Kuzhandhai?
Where did you lose him?

It's nothing, Dad. Look at me.

Kuzhandhai...

The murderer...

must be someone
who is mentally unstable.

Who are you?
What are you doing here?

-Are you a broker?
-Dad!

-She called you, right?
-No, sir.

I won't sell my house! No way!

All of you are trying to snatch
that house from me! Get lost!

-Sir, sir...
-I said leave!

-Leave now!
-Sir, please...

-Get out! Now!
-Dad, no! Please, listen to me.

-Leave or else I'll kill you!
-He is your fan!

-Leave or else I'll--
-Hold on, sir.

Sir, I am your fan.

I'm here for your autograph.

-He's your fan.
-My fan?

-Is it?
-Yes, sir.

-May I have your autograph?
-Oh, sure!

Here, sir.

Anu, get me my pen.

Go and get it.

For a blow with such a force
that will damage her nerve...

probably...

the murderer must be
around 5 to 5.4 feet tall.

Sir...

-I need one more favour.
-Go ahead, tell me.

-Can I take a photo with you?
-Yes, of course!

Will you help me click the photo?

Come closer.

Sir...

you forgot this.

Yes, I got this certificate.

I don't care if my father
is alive in the records or not.

But I want him alive and with me.

For that, I will get that certificate
a hundred times if I have to.

He is my father, sir!

Remember, I am a very big fan
of your father.

I can understand your situation...

but if things go beyond control...

no one can help you.

Hello.

Tell me.

The murder weapon is a pen?

I'll be there.

Take good care of your father.

Anu, I feel
we must have told him the truth.

It's too late.

He already suspects
that Dad is the murderer.

I won't be surprised
if he comes again tomorrow.

He meets all the criteria.

Sir?

If you start forgetting your past
all of sudden,

how would that make you feel?

I'll go mad, sir.

Fine, let's go.

I wonder what happened to him.

He hasn't even called
since yesterday.

Shall we go and check on him once?

First, both of you
switch off your phones.

If something happens to Ahmed,
then I'll make the man suff--

Switch off your phones
and put them in the bag.

Next target, the other two guys.

Anger will drive
one of them here...

and fear will drive
the other one here.

No matter what, both of them...

will definitely come.

Nothing stays put here!

I've warned all of you
not to enter my room!

It's all because of you.

Look! Now my pen is missing.
Where did it go?

I want my pen back!

If I don't get then... then...
see what I'll do to you all!

Return my pen!

I know it is her!

Anu, call Chitra!

Call Chitra!

Where did she go?

Call her. I'm sure she has my pen!

I'm writing an important story.

Don't you know
I use only that pen to write?

Then why do you keep
hiding that pen and play games?

Please return my pen to me.

I am sure that I didn't lose it.

It was on my table.

I'm sure it's with one of you.

I don't want anyone
entering my room hereafter.

I'll search every nook and cranny
of this house and find my pen.

Let me find it.
Then see what I'll do to you all.

I forgot everything.

I forgot everything.

Dad...

Dad...

I have a story.

A murder takes place in it.

We need to find out
who the murderer is.

Can you help me?

So...

did you see the reports?

Everything's done.

All that is left
is for you to arrest him.

Look, the Assistant Commissioner
is pretty pissed off.

One week and two murders.

Including the one in
officer Gajendran's jurisdiction.

I'm just back
from examining that corpse.

Your case is done.

So, you can file an FIR
and arrest him.

The autopsy for that corpse
is due in the evening.

You arrest him.
Only then will the AC cool down.

I'm talking to you!
Stop sitting like a corpse.

What else do you expect me to do?

File the FIR
and press charges against whom?

Against Ganesan.

Mentioning what?

Don't you have all the evidence?

First, he attempted
to stab his maid.

Didn't Yesu sir tell us that
the murderer is mentally unstable?

The murder took place
in his house.

We collected the first piece
of evidence from his house.

The second is the pen,

which also aligns perfectly
with his job. What else do you need?

Sir...

-What do you want?
-A call from the AC.

Well, the AC was pissed off,
so I...

-What are you doing over there?
-Well, sir...

When will you arrest him?

-The investigation is on.
-My foot!

-Didn't he attempt a murder?
-Yes, sir.

He did attempt a murder.

Did his maid die?

No, sir. She is fine.

That female victim was stabbed
with a pen, right?

Yes, sir.

She was stabbed with a pen.

Then what's stopping you
from arresting Ganesan?

Well, sir...
let's confirm it first and then--

You've confirmed enough.
Come to my office.

-Okay, sir.
-At once!

I'll... I'll come at once.

-Make it fast.
-Okay, sir.

Thank you, sir.

Guess what else do I need
to arrest him?

A motive, Paranthaman.

Now, imagine a murder
took place in your house

and the weapon involved
is a surgical knife.

Can I arrest you based on those?

It's not that
I don't suspect him,

but I want to confirm it.

First, we must find out
who the murdered woman is.

Not just that.

You confirmed the weapon is a pen.

But the pen used to stab her,

don't I have to find that?

Anusha, a 26-year-old girl,
moved to Chennai with her father.

The reason she moved to Chennai

is because her father is
an early-onset Alzheimer's patient.

She can see him gradually lose
his memories.

He might even die soon.

They own a house in Chennai.

She is trying to sell it off.

The problem is that her father
is against selling that house,

so she buys a fake death certificate
of her father

and decides to sell the house.

Did she get the death certificate?

Her character sounds interesting.

Go ahead, continue.

One day,
when she's on the train,

she meets a woman and her daughter
sitting in front of her.

This happens
around 6:45 in the evening.

She arrives at home around 7:15

and finds the door is open.

Her father is missing.

She starts to panic.

Now, all this is happening at 8:30.

She goes out in search of him.

Then what happened?

She is confused.

Finally, she finds out
where her father is.

Where was he?

In the house she wanted to sell
in order to save her father's life.

Every year on November 16th
he visits that house.

Anusha came to know that
only a few days before.

Now, if she asks him
why that particular date,

then she is not sure
if he will remember.

Duh! So, he will forget everything,

but he remembers
to visit that house.

Fine, did she go there?

Did she find him there?

Where did the murder take place?

She went to that house
and found her father there.

The murder took place
in that house.

The same lady she saw in the train
was lying dead in that house.

And her father was right next
to her corpse.

So, he killed her?

Who was that lady?

Why did she go there?

She had the same questions
in her mind.

But without focussing on them,
she decided to rescue her father.

The most important fact
in the case,

according to the autopsy report,

was that she was killed
due to a blow against an L-clamp

and not because of
the stab wounds on her back.

The cops suspect the involvement
of two people in this murder.

The first one is the individual
who poured paint over the corpse.

Anusha knows she did that.

The other one is the person
who pushed her on to the L-clamp.

And that's what she wants to know.

Cops say that the murderer
could be mentally unstable.

That's what worries her...

because her father is
an Alzheimer's patient.

The cops can arrest her father
any moment based on this fact.

The answer you're looking for
is what she's also looking for.

And that's where
she needs your help, Dad.

There are two places
where Anusha can find answers.

One, the house where
the murder took place.

The other one is that train.

Now, in the train, we have
that lady and her daughter.

At that house, we have
that lady and Anusha's father.

Now...

there is no reason for
her father to be on the train.

But...

that lady's daughter? She could've
been in that house, right?

What if...

she is the murderer?

She can't be the murderer, Dad.

She has cerebral palsy.

What is that?

That means...

One side of her brain is paralyzed.

She cannot do anything
without assistance.

If she can't be on her own...

then she must have been
with her mother, right?

Fine, okay...

but, based on that, how can
we confirm she is the murderer?

I never said that
she is the murderer.

I'm just saying that
it could be a possibility.

An Alzheimer's patient
is not mentally unstable.

They only lose memories.

That's all.

If you can call her father
as mentally unstable...

then with one side
of the brain paralyzed...

that girl's condition also can
be termed as mentally unstable.

Anusha's father... What his name?

His name is Bal...

Let's say his name is Ganesan.

If Ganesan can commit
this crime,

then so can that girl.

Apart from that,

didn't you say she can't do anything
without assistance?

In that case,
after the murder took place,

where did she go?

Did someone else take her
with them?

Or apart from these three,

is there any other character
in the story?

Stop confusing me, Anu!

This is your story, right?

Don't you know
your characters well?

Did you write down
what happened in the train?

First, write that down,
then I'll help you.

I haven't started writing yet, Dad.
It's all here.

Then the clue is also here.

This is your story.

Only you can finish it.

There's only one thing
you need to do.

Think harder.

You're right, Dad.

It was me who told them
to get down after two stations.

That lady called up someone.

I guess that's who picked them up.

It was you?

No, Dad, sorry.

I mean Anusha.

Look, Anu,

there are people we come across
in our lives for just a moment.

When a need arises,
we can find them

if we had been alert
during that moment.

Bro...

Anu didn't turn up today either?

When will you retrieve the systems
for us, bro?

No work was done yesterday.

If today also there is no work,
then shall I declare a holiday?

For how much
did you bag this contract?

How much did you
bag this contract for?

Me? Wasn't it you who bagged it?

Oh, so you do remember that?

I invested my money
and bagged it, right?

-Indeed.
-So, I should declare a holiday.

Stop irritating me
and go to your desk.

-Okay, bro.
-Jerk.

When did you arrive?

Just now.

You seem to be carrying a swag.
Is it because the case is over?

Isn't Paranthaman examining
your case too?

Yes. Why do you ask?

Then tomorrow you also
can walk in here with a swag.

What's up, Sudalai?

The AC has already lost his cool.

Guess why?

Because he got an earful.

You will be losing
more than "your cool" today.

By the way...

is Paranthaman also working
on the case you're handling?

Yes. Why do you ask?

Then tomorrow you too will
be losing more than "your cool."

Fine, both of you have a seat.
I'll call you.

Any update on
the identity of the victim?

At least you bothered to ask.

That's what I am running behind.

We have no idea
who the victim is,

but they have already
zeroed in on the murderer.

And they want me to arrest him.

The arrest warrant is ready
even before I knew it.

By the way, I heard a boy
was found dead in your jurisdiction.

Was it an illegal bike race
or a chain-snatching gang?

This is not them.

They do it
when they are intoxicated.

Chickens!

They aren't daring enough
to do something like this.

Even I was a bit disturbed
when I saw it.

Just a moment.

This is brutal!

Yes.

In the murder
from your jurisdiction,

it had stab wounds
all over victim's back.

Must be psychopaths.

We patrol during nights
with just our batons,

and here they are killing people
like in Hollywood movies.

It's so scary
to patrol at night, sir.

After all, we are also humans.

Just a young chap.

He was tortured for two-three days
before being killed.

Imagine what that would like be.

I don't understand, sir.

I am considering moving
to the traffic department.

Working there will at least save me
from witnessing such brutality.

What do you say?

Where did Sudalai go?

Even the ACP was in a party mode
at the wedding.

It was fun.

You carry on. I'll come.

Thank you. Yes.

Does this place look
like a beach or park?

You were allowed inside
this office to do work!

Not to have fun!

On top of that, your friend bragged
that the work will be done overnight!

Now, where is she?

Stop staring or else
I'll poke your eyes out!

You guys can't get a job done,
so don't give me that look!

You've got two days.
I want the work to resume.

Or else you will lose this contract
and be thrown out! Mind you!

Are you both kidding us?

If Anusha has to save Ganesan,

all she has to do is find out
who came to pick that lady.

This is your story.

Only you can finish it.

Now, how do I find who
picked up that lady three days ago?

She won't answer the call.

I know.

She thinks
I'm helpless without her.

You know
how to code and scan, right?

You can, right?

Now, watch me. I'll show her
what I'm capable of.

You can, right?

I'll show her.

Raghu...

CCTV...

Sir, I have a friend who can help us
retrieve the footage.

Are you sure you can do it?
Do something.

Do something.

See that? That's how you
make her call you back.

She thinks she can mess with me?
Watch me now.

-Can't talk to you. Hang up!
-Put Raghu on the call.

Do it.

She will beg you now.

Tell her we don't need her and
you will take care of everything.

Just tell her.

She thinks she can mess with me.
Nobody messes with Malar.

-Hello.
-Can you hack CCTVs?

Go ahead. Tell her.

I know you know zilch
about the work over there.

Help me hack a CCTV, and
I'll help you with the work there.

Let's finish each other's work
at the same time.

Tell her you got this.

Is she terrified?

She figured out that
I know zilch about this.

Jerk! Yet you couldn't find out.

Tell me.

Answer properly.
Two days or three days?

Why is everyone catching my collar?

There are two-day-old wounds
as well as three-day-old ones.

Fine, show me that boy's corpse.

Wait outside for few minutes.

AC

Hey, Sudalai. The AC is going crazy
looking for you.

He is repeatedly calling me
and the officers in your station.

Will you arrest Ganesan or not?

I'll arrest him, Paranthaman,

but first let's confirm if this case
and my case are connected.

Then I'll arrest him.

So, tell me...

how will you find that?

Three days ago,

there was a murder
in my jurisdiction, right?

-Yes or no?
-Yes.

Today this corpse was found
in the neighbouring jurisdiction.

-Yes or no?
-Yes.

This corpse also has
the same three-day-old wounds.

Yes or no?

Then both the murders
can be connected.

Yes or no?

If this boy's fingerprints are found
in the first murder's crime scene,

then both cases
are connected.

-Yes or no? Answer me.
-Yes.

Are you both a team now?

Then what am I here for?

Raghu...

ask him to check the CCTV footage
that you brought.

-What plans today?
-How about a movie?

Sure.

-Get up.
-I'm working, bro.

The systems were hacked
three days ago.

Even if you want, there is no work.

So, stop acting. Move.

He won't even know
if the system was turned on or not.

Hey, Ms. Nest Head.

Didn't you claim
you're single while joining?

How do I end up
with such dimwits?

I invest my money
and bag the contract,

but what do I get to do?
Check the CCTV footage.

Sir, is the SI in there?

-Yes.
-Okay, sir.

Where are you going?

To give my boss
an important message.

Your so-called boss threw me out.

Just shut up and...

What is it?
Did the AC unleash hell?

Guess he called you too?

She is from upstairs.

She is from the floor right above.

That's the security guard.

The tea-stall boy.

I have no idea who she is,
but I know she works here.

Who is he?

Sudalai!

What did he find?

Sudalai...

this boy's fingerprints
are there in that house,

and the fingerprints found
closest to the corpse are his.

-Sir.
-What's your final stand?

Can you arrest Ganesan or not?

I cannot arrest Ganesan, sir.

We have found a new corpse
and matching fingerprints.

-So, I cannot, sir.
-What are you saying?

It's true, sir.

I'll explain it to you
in detail, in person.

-Fine! Then come at once.
-Yes, sir.

Send those matching fingerprints
to the AC's office.

Okay.

"Ahmed, aged 21. Height 5.11."

Sir!

He murdered our friend, Ahmed.

And you want me to spare him?

Even after all this has happened,
you won't change, right?

You called me a chicken
all this time,

and now look where you have got me.

Look where we have ended up.

I told you so many times.

I told you again and again.

At least
if we had pleaded with him,

he would have let us go.

Damn it! Why should we fear him?

We kidnapped that girl,
brought her here...

Our life is ruined.

Do you expect me to let him go
without taking revenge?

Are you chickening out?

Hello...

Kidnapping Madhi
was a mistake, sir.

Forgive me, sir.

We shall do anything
you ask us to do.

Thanks, Dad.

Listen, newbies,

you have joined at the right time.
We've got a challenging case.

Stay dedicated, and
you can learn a lot from it.

It's so gory with the stab wounds
and paint all over the corpse.

Murthy said it's an important case
and asked us to learn from it.

Corpses scare the crap out of me.

Now, what do I do?

Even my sister's house is on sale.

I must advise her to rent it out
until someone buys it.

Sir, can I live there for free?

A house with the spare key outside,
anyone can enter.

On top of that, why do you think
they would've taken that lady there?

Just wait. The case will be solved
before sunset.

Tell me.

The fingerprints of
the other two boys from Hyderabad

match with those
found in the house.

All three of them
were in that house.

Okay. I'll take it from here.

I want everyone to
assemble downstairs in 5 minutes.

What's bothering you?

The systems will be up and running
in some time.

Come, let's go
and have a cup of tea.

Once Anu is here, we must find out
which folder was hacked.

Wait, does Anu know about it?
Did you inform her?

She must here to get the work done.

-Will she come in soon?
-What difference would it make?

Do you think any work will be done?

She is the cause
of all my problems.

Know any suitable replacement
for her?

Let's fire her.

-Stop acting crazy!
-Who? Me?

She is busy hacking CCTVs
then nabbing the hacker.

Wait and see.
She won't turn up today.

How are you so good
at making wrong guesses?

Malar...

Malar, I am very sorry.

I'll complete all the work today.

I will solve all the problems
I caused, and then I will quit.

Come on now!
Don't say that.

After all,
this is our own contract.

Forget about this doofus.

We have got a lot of work
on our hands.

So, come on.

First, let's have a cup of tea,

then find out
which folder was hacked

and identify the suspicious guy
in the footage.

Malar, a folder was hacked?

You thought no data was hacked.

But a folder from
one particular date was hacked.

Also, we don't know the dates
of the FIRs in that folder.

The footage from the day of the hack
has been thoroughly checked.

Most are either office staffers
or work for the department.

The only person
who has no business here

is this fellow.

And nobody here knows him.

I know him.

Keep your diabetes
and pressure pills handy.

Quench your thirst and
relieve yourself now if you want.

But if you excuse yourself later
for peeing or taking a dump,

I'll kill you.

None of you
are leaving my room today.

All your skills will be
put to test today. Let's see.

But there's only one toilet
in his room.

Sir, tea.

-Serve it to everyone inside.
-Okay, sir.

It was these three guys

who picked up that lady from
the railway station on the 16th.

These guys must have taken her
to my vacant house.

But...

if one of them is involved
in the hacking incident,

there is definitely a link between
the murder and this hack.

How do we find that out?

First, let's find out
which folder was hacked.

Until then no one must find out
about this hacking incident.

Bro...

there's an FIR request.
Quite urgent, it seems.

The request is from Tirunelveli.

What do we do now?

Go and order three cups of tea
for us.

-Now!
-Okay, bro.

Hear me out carefully.

Three medical students
from Hyderabad

raped and murdered their classmate
and fled to Chennai.

On top of that,

they are involved in the murder
that took place in our jurisdiction.

The hundreds of fingerprints
collected from that house

also include the fingerprints
of these boys.

The neighbouring station's cops
found the corpse of one boy.

Let me explain it clearly
once again.

Three boys.

Three murders.

One in Hyderabad...

and two here, in Chennai.

-Out of them--
-Sir...

-What is it?
-What if this is a serial killing?

Are you an art student?

I have got one at home,
just like you.

If those three boys
are serial killers,

then who murdered one among them?

Stop pulling his leg. Poor kid.

Why didn't those boys go into hiding
after escaping from there?

Why would they come here
and kill someone instead?

What if they were here
to kill that lady?

Quite possible.

Stop it. Oh, come on!

Why would they kill there, then
come here to murder a random lady?

They chose a vacant house,
which means

it must be
a well-executed plan, right?

Look what all they have done
at such a young age.

Can't wait to get my hands on them.

Murugan...

why are you quiet?

Well, they all have a point.

Before we dig into the details
of those boys,

we already have someone
who fits the bill.

Ganesan.

How could you leave him out?

If there's a motive in his case,

don't you think there'd be one
for those boys too?

Systems were hacked
on 16th November.

The hacked folder
is dated 16th November.

The murder took place
on 16th November.

My dad visits that house
every year

on 16th November.

Out of these four,

the folder that was hacked
and my dad's visit to that house

have a strong connection.

One is from years before.

The other has been happening
for years.

The remaining two
are recent events.

So, we've got a murder, a hack,
a folder and a house visit.

To know the reason
behind the murder,

we must find out the reason
behind the hack.

To know the reason behind the hack,

we must find out
which data was hacked.

To know which data was hacked,

we must check that folder and
find which is the concerned FIR.

And how are you going
to do all this, Anu?

I have no idea.

It's all back to square one.

Who is it?

Sir, he's on it.

The same answer every time!
When will we get it?

You'll get it soon, sir.

Soon? How? I am in Tirunelveli!

Email doesn't take hours to reach.
You'll get it in a jiffy.

Then make it fast.

Hang up and I'll email it
in a few minutes, sir.

Listen, an important--

Bro...

please get done with that file and
email it. This guy's after my life.

I'm on it.

Would you like to do it?

Look, he's calling again.
Hear it for yourself.

Bharath, I forgot to tell you.

An important matter.

Along with that FIR copy, there is
an insurance and a death certificate.

-Send those along too.
-Okay.

-Bro, attach those too in the email.
-Anu!

-I'll send them.
-Okay, bro.

Anu, I pity our fate.

November '95
is following us everywhere.

This request is also regarding
November '95.

The date doesn't match though.
This is four days ago, 12th November.

Anu, check out this case file.

It'll take another hour
for me to reach home.

You have your dinner
and go to sleep.

What happened, dear?
Why do you sound low?

A non-stop debate for
the past six hours.

They are torturing me.

Please you also don't do the same.

Come on, dear. What happened?

Stop talking in that tone.

Just tell me what happened.

Hang up. Just hang up.

Don't pester me.
I'll call you later.

I should have cut the call sooner.

God!

Stop! Stop it!

No! You guys are confusing me.

Start from the top.

You heard me. From the top.

Again from the top?

God!

Please move your hand.

See...

-Don't fall on me.
-Okay.

Come on, man.

Ganesan...

is a crime novelist.

His work is all about

murders and heists.

He writes them with passion.

What's your point?

If he can write about murder
with passion,

then can't he commit murder too?

Think about it, sir.

Don't underestimate the boys.

They are medical students who
study blood and flesh with passion.

They are quite daring.

Answer me this.

Which is easier? Three boys killing
a six-feet tall woman

or a single man
killing that woman?

Of course three boys
would've found it easy.

Do you understand, sir?

We do understand that silly logic.

What did that autopsy doctor say
the other day?

It was a mentally unstable person
who stabbed the victim.

Ganesan fits the profile perfectly.

There's already a murder charge
on those boys.

Is there any on Ganesan?

Those boys already know a thing or two
about committing murder.

They were smart enough
to pour the paint there.

Agreed.

The boys may have poured the paint
over the body.

Then who's
the mentally unstable one?

If you say that,
then let me put it this way.

In that scenario, let's say Ganesan
was the mentally unstable person.

Then who poured the paint
over the body?

How would I know?

But...

it was the day
when the murder took place

that Ganesan visited the house,
and he does it every year.

Didn't the laundry guy
tell us that?

Fine, he visits the house
every year.

But not every year
a murder was committed there.

But he wasn't in this state
all these years, right?

A few days ago,
he tried stabbing his maid.

Sir.

Why are you enjoying this
like a turtle watching tennis?

Sir, may I make a point?

Make a point or many,
but make it clear. Got it?

I see the problem here.

A mentally unstable person
is missing on the boy's team,

and a sane person
is missing on Ganesan's team.

If we find
the mentally unstable person first,

then he is the murderer.

If we find a sane person first,
then they are the murderers.

Whomever we find first
is the murderer, sir!

Do you get it now, sir?

I'm going to kill you now!

Sir, sir, I've taken a holy vow.

And that is what is saving you!

Sir, I'll explain it clearly now.
Hear me out.

If we find
the mentally unstable person first,

then they got it right.

If we find those boys first,

then they got it right.

Whomever we find first,
is the group that wins this debate.

Do you get it now, sir?

He will keep blabbing like this!

What nonsense are you talking?

Stop it!
I said stop it!

Back to your seat! Now!

-Go back to your seats!
-You heard the officer.

Unnecessarily creating a scene.

What are you doing? Move back!

Senior...

I say the female victim in Hyderabad
and the victim here are linked.

Now, if I prove it,

will you rule out Ganesan?

Doesn't he have
better things to do?

Instead of getting out
and catching them,

he keeps making me send faxes.

Crazy fellow.

These pants suck!

My big bottom isn't enough
to keep them from falling off.

Drat!

This crazy guy.

It was faxed throughout Tamil Nadu,
and no one has answers.

Does he think he'll get a reply
from Hyderabad?

Well, I'll do my duty and fax it.

This stupid fax machine.

When I want to send a fax out,
it receives a fax.

Fine, let me read it.

Listen...

don't give him the medicine.

Hello, sir. Sub-inspector Muthuvel
from Tirunelveli here.

Remember you had faxed a woman's photo
a couple of days ago?

Her name is Savithri.

She is from here, Sanganankulam.

Her husband was a painter.

He died while painting a building
and fell off the second floor.

I've sent you the FIR, death certificate
and insurance claim copies.

She has been missing since the day
she claimed the insurance money.

If I get any further information,
I shall call you and update, sir.

Uh-oh!

He is on to something.

His eyeballs are dancing!

He is closing his eyes now.
Wonder what he's thinking.

Please let it not be another message
to be faxed.

Sir...

my knees are killing me!

Mathivanan...

get me that Neeta case file.

Please.

Do it yourself
and you'll know my pain! You jerk!

We'll find out from him.

Those three boys
are the murderers, right?

It's Ganesan, right?

Guys...

you can see that the SI
is torturing me.

So, please have some mercy on me.

If I give him this file,

you will get an answer
within a few minutes.

So, move out of way!

Say something, Anu.

It's getting late.

What are you thinking so deeply?

Say something, Anu.

You know what happens
if your dad misses a dose.

Kuzhandhai!

How are you?

-There he goes again.
-It's been so long.

"The aforementioned person,
Kumaresan,

"died not because of intoxication
but due to lack of safety measures.

"Please help
the deceased's wife, Savithri,

"to claim the insurance money,
which rightfully belongs to her.

"Please consider this
as my humble request.

"Yours sincerely,

"Kuzhandhai Yesu."

Dad...

Kuzhandhai.

Wake up!

That girl and Sandeep are missing.

What? They must be here somewhere.
Move!

I searched the whole house.

Sandeep!

Hey! They are really missing!

Tell me, sir.

Is that his wife?

Yes, sir.
The deceased is her husband.

Young fellow. He was drunk
and fell off a building roof.

Poor thing. She has nobody now.

-I shall change the report.
-Okay, sir.

If her husband has insurance,
ask her to claim it.

I will help.

Sir, aren't you attending
the wedding?

No, I am not going.

-What about you?
-No, sir. I am new here.

I don't know anyone there.

So, my colleagues put me on duty
and went there.

Sir, have you eaten?

-No, I'll eat later.
-Then I'll go ahead?

-Okay. Carry on.
-Okay, sir.

Hello.

Sir, a major bus accident
at Tirunelveli bypass.

Around 40-50 have died.

The corpses are being sent
to our hospital.

Okay.

They'd have left
not more than half an hour ago.

Let me get my hands on him.
Damn it!

Who is he?

I am confused, Anu.

Why aren't you letting your dad
take the medicine?

Please tell me
what's going on, Anu.

Remember that girl went missing?

I went in search of her.

Even I am confused.

I didn't find her anywhere.

Feels like
it's darkness all around.

Dad's talking to an empty chair,

but it's him Dad's talking to.

This guy? But who is he?

An autopsy doctor.

I don't get
how's he linked to my dad.

How is that hacking incident linked
to the murder in my house?

I really don't get it.

Only he can tell us.

I know how to get it out of him.
Wait and watch.

-Anu is there--
-What are you hiding?

Why are you tormenting that girl
like this?

-That's Kuzhandhai in that photo.
-When you can remember a stranger,

can't you remember
what is necessary?

Don't shout!

I'm talking to him. You get out!

I have a gut feeling
that those boys came here

not to hide.

Yesu worked
in the same place...

where those boys
went to college.

He did the autopsy on the girl
those boys raped and murdered.

The FIR was filed against them
based on his report.

After that, Yesu retired
and moved to Chennai.

Now, these boys also escaped...

and are now here, in Chennai.

I smell something fishy.

Okay.

If your dad is hallucinating
and talking to Yesu,

who had helped Savithri claim
insurance when her husband died,

then why did Yesu act like
he doesn't know her?

If we need answers
to these questions,

we must find out which file
was hacked from that folder now.

We now know that Savithri
is from Tirunelveli.

Yesu worked there
during the same period.

Malar, I have an idea.

Find out the police stations
near the place where he worked.

An FIR from one of those stations
has got the answers we need.

Correct, sir. I too feel the same.

We can guess what was the issue
between the doctor and those boys.

However, in the middle of that,

there is the fact of
Savithri going to Yesu 24 years ago

to collect
her husband's death certificate.

How does she come into the picture?

After all he did for her,

why didn't he tell us
that he knew Savithri?

But the most confusing part is...

how did that lady get killed at
a random place like Ganesan's house?

Answer me!

-It's Kuzhandhai! Leave the chair.
-Kuzhandhai who?

My story! This is my story.

This story is the reason for
all this craziness! Give it to me!

-Give it to me!
-I won't!

-I feel sleepy, sir.
-I'll make you stand here all night.

So...

did you find those boys?

At least did you search around?

Don't ask me.

Paranthaman...

tell me about Yesu.

Anu, Savithri's case was registered
in Kovankulam.

The police stations nearby are

Appankoil, Kurumbalaperi,

Deivaseyalpuram, Semmedu,

Ittamozhi.

But what are we looking for, Anu?

There are only four of them
involved in this issue.

My dad, Savithri, Yesu
and those four boys.

Since Yesu is an autopsy doctor,

it must be an FIR involving
some murder or a corpse.

He is a kind soul.

He deserves better.

Had he become a surgeon,
he would have been the best one.

His rotten fate...

he got into autopsy and...

Why? What happened?

His hands...

Didn't you notice them?

No.

Performing an unauthorized surgery?
This is medical malpractice!

So, you want
to become a surgeon, right?

I shall help you
become one at any cost.

But you must do one thing.

Here, take this.

Can you slit a straight line here?

I'm asking you!

A straight cut on my forearm.

You can't do it, can you?

How many times do I tell you?

With these shaky hands,

you can never operate
on a living patient.

Do you want to become a murderer
in the pursuit of becoming a surgeon?

You just want
to perform an operation, right?

I shall guide you.

So, just listen to me.

-That's mine! I won't give it!
-I said give it to me!

"Ganesan."

No cases in your father's name.

Next, try Savithri.

"Savithri."

-Leave it! Give it to me!
-No, I won't!

-Nothing in Savithri's name either.
-Next, Yesu.

-I won't give you my story!
-I said give it!

-Give it here!
-I won't give my story to you!

It's mine! I won't give it to you!

-Give it to me!
-Let him go!

Please leave this room!

Anu, there are more than 50 cases.

Looks like some bus accident.

There are 43 FIRs filed.

Yesu did the autopsies
for all of them.

Then there are
a few other local cases.

There's nothing that you wanted.

The only way
for you to find out anything,

is if Yesu opens up
or that Kuzhandhai opens up.

Malar, try my mother's name.

Come on, Anu.
We are looking at files from '95.

Your mother died in '93, right?

Just try it.

Anu!

There is a file
with your mother's name.

Remember I told you 43 people died
in a bus accident?

Your mother is one among them.

To tell you about his life...

Well, nothing in his life
was permanent.

Even his marriage.

Just few days into marriage,

his wife...

died in an accident.
That is what I heard.

As a single father,

he went through many hardships
to raise his child.

That too a mentally challenged...

girl child.

What the hell?

He has a daughter?

Excuse me.

When he came to the station
to give his statement...

Yes?

He didn't mention anything
about having a daughter.

Does he really have a daughter?

He does.

Her name is Mathi.

-Did you note this by any chance?
-No, sir.

But, sir, come to think of it...

He knew Savithri,
but he didn't tell us about it.

Neither did he tell us
he has a daughter.

His daughter
is mentally challenged.

If those boys were in Anu's house
at the time of the murder

and if they had committed
the murder,

then they debated that
a mentally unstable individual

is missing from the crime scene.

Now, why can't it be
Yesu's daughter?

Is it morning already?

What is it?

What happened?

What is it?

Did anyone get a breakthrough?

Why are you all
giving me that look?

That's one lengthy story.

Yes, it is.

Anu's father hid from her that
her mom died in an accident.

Their neighbour, Yesu,

he is the Kuzhandhai
that Anu's dad hallucinates.

His full name is Kuzhandhai Yesu.

Now, apart from this,

Savithri, who was found dead
in Anu's house,

Yesu knows her too.

Each of them is hiding something
from everyone.

Can't trust anybody.

Remember what I said in the evening?
That's what is happening.

Everything is back to square one.

So is my contract.

I am worried.

Don't trust anybody.

So far, the people you spoke about
are linked in some way, right?

What about those boys
who hacked the files?

They don't seem
to be connected to all this.

-You're right.
-I know that I'm right!

But the FIR file they hacked

is an FIR involving Yesu
and Anu's mom. Isn't it?

Yes.

My point is...

you can only trust those boys.

Find them,
and you'll have all the answers.

Dude, do you have that IP address
which Anu tracked down?

Poor guy.

He's innocent and timid.

You just left him all alone
to guard the mortuary.

Obviously!

We are having
a serious conversation,

and he's sleeping
without giving a damn.

Do you think he'll sleep now?

Let him be there till sunrise.

Only then he'll learn.

Forget about him.

Did you think of this possibility?

If the person
who stabbed her in the back

was Yesu's daughter,

then pouring the paint
to tamper the evidence

would only benefit Yesu
more than anyone else.

He helped us so many times
without any hesitation.

Didn't he crack this case open
for us?

Did he really do that?

He diverted all our attention
towards Ganesan.

Also...

we never asked him for help.

We both discussed
about taking his help.

He volunteered
to come along with us.

Do you remember?

Paranthaman...

if you don't mind,
can I have a look?

True.

He volunteered.

You are right.

There is some detail in that FIR
they were looking for.

What does an FIR contain?

What does it contain?

The complaint.

That's bus accident.

The name of the person
who made the complaint.

That was Anu's father.

The person against whom
the complaint is written.

Again, it's the accident,
so not an individual.

Information about the victims.

That would be Anu's mother.

What else will be there?

Yeah, what else?

Don't you have any clue on
what details are entered in an FIR?

Why not? I do know.

-I know.
-My foot.

It'll contain the FIR number.

Then...

it'll contain the year and date.

Then the case details...

and an address.

Wait!

There will be an address, right?

Anu's mom lived in that vacant house
until she passed away.

It must be that address
mentioned in the FIR, right?

The murder happened on the night
the systems were hacked.

What if...

they hacked the systems
to get that house's address?

The contract you took with
your money has finally paid off!

-Right?
-Right.

Got it?

Yes.

Don't you all know
how important Mathi is to me?

Daddy!

-Let go of me.
-Don't you all know?

Daddy! Daddy!

Then why did you
take her away from me?

Answer me! Why?

I will kill each one of you
and take her with me!

So, listen to me!

Is that her?

You!

Daddy!

Let her go!

Hands off me! Mathi!

I won't spare you! Let go of me!

Let go of me!

Mathi!

Let her go!

Daddy!

Hands off me!

Daddy!

Where are you, Daddy?

Daddy?

Stab her!

Stab her.

Stab her...

Stab her!

Like he said...

she was hit on the neck.

How do you think he knew that?

The height of the person
who pushed that lady on the L-clamp

must be around...

5.4 feet. Didn't he say that?

He must be also that tall.

So you mean...

he went there to conceal the murder
his daughter committed?

Quite possible.

Why would he kill?

Why would he?

We are asking this
because it is Savithri who died.

If one of those three boys
had died,

then kidnapping that girl,

the underlying enmity
between her dad and the boys,

her emotional turmoil to save
her father during the fight,

these could have been the motives.

But it was Savithri who died.

I don't understand one thing.

A woman who collected
an autopsy report 25 years ago

is now involved in an issue
concerning those boys.

How and why did she get involved?

If she gets so emotional
in such a situation,

then for whom and why?

Probably for her father.

She might get emotional
if her father is in trouble.

If Savithri died
and the girl stabbed her,

then Savithri must have been
a threat to Yesu in some manner.

Phew! I can't take it anymore.

Just go to Yesu's home.

Only if we meet him, we'll--

Say something, Dad.

What's all this, Dad?

Why didn't you tell me that
Mom was alive until I was two?

Why did you lie that she died
after giving birth to me?

What else are you hiding from me?

Am I your daughter
or is that a lie too?

Tell me that at least.

Dad...

Answer me, Dad.

Say something!

Answer me!

He must have handed over
that girl to Yesu.

-See what I'll do him.
-Damn it!

That girl matters
more to us than him.

Nothing will happen without her.

So, stop raising your voice
and think what we can do now.

Sandeep would have given them
our location.

First, let's move out of here.

I know a factory that I think
will be the safest option now.

Let's go there and then decide...

We are late because of you!

-Fine, just forget it.
-Enough! Don't support him.

Stop blaming me.

-We are late because of you!
-Because of me?

-Come on, guys.
-Now stop it and shut up!

Excuse me, we'll be marked present
for the first hour, right?

-You guys have made this a habit.
-Come on!

A disease
which has no cure till date.

A diseases which affects
from the birth

and follows till the end.

A disease which makes the patient
a dependent.

Today, October 6th,

it is considered
as Cerebral Palsy Day.

-Stop fighting!
-"Cerebral" is having to do with the brain.

"Palsy" means weakness or problems
with using the muscles

caused by abnormal brain development
or damage to the developing brain.

Today's chief guest is
our hospital's forensic head,

Dr. Kuzhandhai Yesu.

He has specialized in forensics
for more than 40 years.

Not only in forensics

but also in parenting
a cerebral palsy kid.

We could not think someone
better than him

to speak about cerebral palsy
on this day.

Welcome, sir.

Be seated here.

Cerebral palsy, it's considered as
a neurological disorder caused by...

Any doubts?

If you want, I can clarify.

Sir?

Does she have
any kind of skill sets?

-Skills?
-Yes, sir.

She can perform magic.

-Would you like to see it?
-Okay, sir.

Mathi dear,
can you do a magic trick?

-Me?
-Yes.

-Shall I?
-Come on.

Hi.

Do you want it?

Thank you
for your valuable time, sir.

Really, you're great, sir.

Take this, put it here...

You must do more work like this.

-Yes, sir.
-Fine, let me make a move.

Put it on your hands like this.

Sir.

I am Neeta.

First year student.

Can I do a case study on her, sir?

Can I come to your house
and see her there?

Not interested.

Sir...

Mathi...

shall we go? Come on. Take the bag.

-Well...
-Come.

My ID card...

It's after all an ID card.

I can get you a fake one
for ₹100.

No, don't do that.

You have the mind
of a criminal, dude!

-Listen to me. Go to the office and...
-Yes, go.

-...write a letter saying you lost it.
-Do that.

Pay the fine
and collect a new ID card.

-Don't listen to him.
-You chicken!

Why are you such a timid fellow?

Neetu, listen to me.

Don't listen to these two.

Go to that doctor's house
and get your ID card back.

I feel that's your best option.

What a crappy idea!

Don't listen to him.
It won't work out.

Fake ID will become a big issue
if she gets caught.

This is Yesu sir's house, right?

Aren't you Neeta?

How do you know me?

Look over there.

-Here.
-Thanks.

I hope
my visit is not a problem.

Why do you ask that?

Well, I requested sir if I can come
and meet Mathi.

He refused.

Well, you know her condition.

Not just you,
he doesn't prefer anyone visiting.

Forget about him.
You can come and visit.

He need not know.

I'll take care of that.

Okay.

Is it 12 o'clock already?

Neeta dear,

she needs to take her medicines
before lunch.

Okay.

They are in the cupboard inside.
Can you get it?

-The first cupboard?
-In there.

The third box in the second shelf.

A green pill and a red pill.

Yes.

I'll get them.

She would have been
around three then.

She got a fever.

Since then, these damned medicines
have become a part of our lives.

Who is the doctor treating her?

What do you mean?

Her father is a doctor after all.

He has been treating her
since then.

Yesu sir?

How can he treat this condition?

-Did you count the total?
-Yes, I did.

28 men and 15 women.

43 corpses in total.

Sir, is that correct? Sir!
Is that correct?

Shall we invite him too?

Shut up!

What happened?

Well, sir, we all are going
for a drink.

The guys want to know if you want
to join us. Ill-mannered fellows!

Am I not allowed?

Well, we drink the local toddy.
Not sure if you'd like it.

And why is that?

Is it that bad?

Come on, sir.
It's a whole different taste.

Then I don't mind.

Arrange for it.

I'll get the report ready by then.

Come on.

Don't drink too much and embarrass
yourselves in front of the doctor.

Look at the time.

Quick! We got to reach
before they close.

-Make it fast!
-Fine, come on.

Don't drop her.

Sir...

Sir...

A corpse from the bus accident.

No one noticed her
as she fell into a bush.

Fine, leave her there.

Okay, sir.

Anu!

Anu...

Avudaiyappa!

Anybody there!

Hey, anybody there?

John!

Look at this!

Avudaiyappa!

Sir...

Come...

Hey! Need help here!

Please come here.

Anu...

Anu!

Cover me with some cloth, please.

Cover me with some cloth, please.

Oh, no!

I'm sorry.

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

-Okay?
-Anu...

Okay! Okay!

No! No!

Avudaiyappa!

Guys, where are you? Come here!

-Anu... Where is Anu?
-Yes... Anu...

Guys! Where are you?

Sir...

Avudaiyappa! Anybody there?

Oh, no!

Come on, push.

Push! Push!

Control yourself. Don't scream.

Or else you'll lose blood.

If you lose all the blood,
your baby will die!

Nor...

Normal delivery
will be risky.

The more you push,
the more you'll lose blood.

It'll turn critical.

We have to operate.

Then do it, sir.

Go ahead and do it, sir.

No, no, no. I...

-You go ahead and operate me.
-I am an autopsy doctor.

I... I...

When you're alive,
how can I...

I can't. No, no!
No, I can't!

Oh, no!

Just do it, sir! Operate me!

-Please. You do it.
-No. No.

Do it, sir!

Okay.

-I can't bear the pain.
-Wait, wait, wait.

Come on, hold it straight.

Like this. I got to inject it.

It's quite simple.
Can't you do this?

Come on, don't shake your hand.

Don't you get it?
I have a lot of work to do.

I can repeat it again and again.
Can't you understand?

Excuse me...

There are
no duty doctors available.

Everyone went to attend a wedding.

Sir, please. You go ahead
and operate me.

I can't.

I'm not authorised.

If I operate, there are chances
either you or the baby may die.

And if you don't operate,
then both of us will die.

If you operate on me,

at least there will be a 1% chance
of one of us surviving.

I can't.

I... can't...

Please, sir.

It's okay if I die,

but please do something
and save my child.

Me?

How can I...

Thank you.

Regarding Mathi...

Do you have any special doctor
who treats her?

I mean...

we have been
giving her medicines for so long,

but she is not getting cured.

So...

why don't we show her
to some other doctor

and see if we can cure her?

She never asked anything
until today.

If she has doubts now,
then that means...

something's wrong.

Based on your observation,

we must find out
what that girl has.

Maybe...

if we can get her blood sample...

we can find out.

Can you get her blood sample?

Mathi did not have any...

any medical condition as a child.

I gave the blood sample
we collected to the doctor.

He ran all the tests.

It's Yesu sir who did this to her
by giving medicines.

Sir...

Yes?

You go and get some sleep.

I'll take care of her.

Sir...

I see that you love her
with all your life.

When she grows up...

she will choose her own life
and move away.

Can you live by yourself then?

So, if she grows up...

she will leave me?

Then she must not grow up.

Greetings, you're watching HTV.

The headlines today.

A medical student from Tamil Nadu
committed suicide last night.

Her autopsy report
says otherwise.

The police have investigated
all her classmates.

They are now on the hunt for her
three friends who have gone missing.

Would any father...

do this to his own daughter?

That got us thinking.

We realised that finding
Mathi's real parents

will put an end to this mess.

That's what led us
to that bus accident.

It was my brother Priyan's idea

to hack that FIR
to find out the address.

The girl we brought with us here...

is your sister...

we didn't know it then.

Where's Mathi now?

She is with Yesu.

-That girl, Mathi--
-I know.

They just told us about it.

That Yesu guy fooled us
by staying right next door.

Every check post has been alerted.

We'll definitely catch him.

Sudalai...

a word.

What is it?

Look at this.

Ever since Yesu returned
to Chennai,

he had booked flights tickets
every day for him and Mathi.

The timings and destinations
are different in each ticket.

Sir...

the tickets for today are missing.

Don't panic.

The flight timings and destinations
may be different,

but there's just one airport.

He cannot escape anywhere.

Don't you worry.

Paranthaman,

I'm heading to the airport.
You drop these boys at the station.

Okay.

Move. Get in the jeep.

Anu...

why are you crying?

Malar, I have a younger sister.

Until I was two,
my mom was with me.

And until yesterday,
I wasn't aware of any of this.

This is not your fault, Anu.

You're right.

It's not my fault.

It's all Yesu's fault.

Malar, guess what?

No matter where he tries
to run and hide,

the cops said they will catch him.

Wouldn't Yesu have predicted it?

Then why would Yesu hide?

Tell me.

Anu,

your dad took off saying
he will bring back Mathi.

He fought with me and locked me
in the house before leaving.

I don't know what to do.

Anu...

Hello?

I told you 24 years ago...

not to ever come back for her.

You have made a blunder, Ganesan.

I tried my best to stop him, Anu.

He was quite ferocious.

He was like someone possessed, Anu!

It's been quite a while
since he left.

And you are ignoring me.
Why are you looking at the wall?

If he said
he will bring back Mathi,

then he knows where to find her.

And everything he knows
is on this wall.

There must be something here
that can lead us to Mathi.

I am exposed.

I knew it
when Neeta entered my life.

I knew everything would change.

That's it.

I don't have the strength
to start from scratch.

And I'm not getting any younger.

My actions seem unfair
to you, right?

But I don't think so.

Life is unfair.

We all are a part of it.

How would you react and respond to
the only fair incident in your life?

That's exactly what I did.

She is mine.

She needs to be with me.

Let her go.

Let go of her.

There is no way.

20 minutes...

everything will be over.

Mathi?

Mathi...

Ganesan...

why should I go in search of her?

She has no choice
but to come and save you.

Aren't you coming here?

No matter how long, I will wait--

Now you can't.

You also have 20 minutes.

Anu...

do you remember your mother?

I guess not.

You must have been two
at that time.

I remember very well.

When she died,

I was with her.

In fact...

I watched her die.

These hands...

held your baby.

I wrapped her in a white cloth
and placed her next to her mother.

With these shaky hands,

you can never operate
on a living patient.

How many times do I tell you?
Can't you understand?

Can you slit a straight line here?

I'm asking you!

A straight cut on my forearm.

You can't do it, right?

I saved your child.

You can die now.

Anu...

Later when I returned...

the baby was missing.

Sudar was very sure...

that the second child
would also be a girl.

She even had a name chosen
for her...

but she couldn't even see
that child.

Erase this day from your life.

When you step out of this room,

just forget everything.

Including our encounter.

You must believe that
none of this happened.

Whatever we discussed here...

your wife, your baby, she must
never learn about any of these.

Fine, she will never know.

But how can I forget?

Who steals a stillborn baby?

The cops said you saw the woman
who stole the baby.

What did she look like?

I must meet her once!

She was six feet...

with wheatish complexion...

and she has a limp on her left leg.

Six feet...

wheatish complexion...

and a limp on her left leg.

Six feet...

wheatish complexion...

and a limp on her left leg.

You said Sudar had...

chosen a name for the baby.

What name did she choose?

Mathi.

Mathi.

Anu...

guess what?

Before her last breath,
your mother called out your name.

Back then, you were in no position
to save her.

But today...

you can save your father.

But...

you can't take both of them alive
from here.

Hand over Mathi to me,
and take your father with you.

I won't stop you.

Daddy!

Let me go. Let me go!

Daddy!

We are out of time.

And I'm out of patience.

Give her back to me.

No matter what,
I am not leaving without them.

Daddy!

See these hands?

Do you have any idea
what they made me?

I don't know why I was born
with such hands.

I don't know who cursed my hands.

The only medicine that
keeps me alive...

is her.

I need her!

Mathi!

Mathi...

Let go of me.

Mathi...

Daddy.

Dad! Wake up!

Dad!

Dad! It's me, Anu!

Wake up!

It's Anu. Wake up!

Dad!

Dad...

Daddy!

Daddy.

Time is almost up.

Why don't you understand?

Leave her and go.

Mathi...

do you want to be with me?

Look, she wants to be with me.

Then stop coming in between us.

Daddy!

Daddy!

Dad!

Dad!

Mathi...

Hand over Mathi to me!

I need her.

Hand over Mathi to me!

I want her!

Please!

Let go of the door!

Let go!

Mathi!

Mathi!

Dad...

Wake up.

Dad, can you hear me?

Dad, can you hear me?

Dad, can you hear me?

Dad!

Dad!

I won't let you take her!

Hold the door.

Hold the door.

Hold it.

Mathi!

It's all my fault.

It's all my fault.

My own fault.

Your mother and I...

we were 10 years apart.

When she got pregnant
for the second time...

I was against having that child.

But your mom didn't agree.

Our fight got ugly,
and she got furious.

She took you and left.

No...

I let her go!

I felt very guilty.

I didn't have the courage
to tell you the truth.

That's why I told you your mother died
after giving birth to you.

Then he made me lie to you!

Anu...

after losing them,
I couldn't live in peace.

I thought I'll search for her.

I wanted to.

But where would I search for a baby
they told me was dead?

Later...

when I had Alzheimer's...

and knew that
I was losing my memories...

I started worrying.

Dad!

I was worried that until the end...

nobody would find out about her.

That's why...

I tried to write it as a story
before I forgot everything.

Can you do me a favour?

I have written half of it.

The rest of the story...

you must finish it.

It was my fault for letting her go.

It was his fault
for taking her away.

Hold it, Anu.

Hold the door.

Hold the door.

Mathi... Mathi.

Let this be the end of the story.

Dad!

Dad!

Mathi...

What's the purpose of our life
in this world?

Even if we search it all our life,
we won't be able to find it

because...

that's what the journey of our life
in this world is all about.

This long journey of ours
called life

is all about that special moment.

At some point in this journey,
everyone will have that moment.

And when we have that moment,

we truly believe
that's the purpose of our life.

But sometimes that moment
could be a false one.

If that happens,
do not end your journey...

because we always realize
the purpose of our life

by looking back
at the paths we chose.
