[DISTANT RAILWAY ANNOUNCEMENT]

[ENGINE HONKS]

That's not my issue..
- Ah..

Why is he not returning my call?
Would I eat him alive?

That's right, when the phone
goes unanswered, we panic

Yes..

I will let you know the
moment he lands here

Will you, son?
- What a question?

How long have we known each other for?

These guys are novices

I mean, him

Yes..yes

You don't trust me?

You're both jerks. Don't try to run me over

Hey never

Okay then, let me know when he arrives

Okay. I will call

[HE EXHALES]
Look, Kannan..

Why don't you settle her outstanding bills?

You, of all people, should not say that

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

Don't be serious
- I am not

What? Aren't you spitting out accounts?

I don't want to irritate you
this early in the morning.

Very good.. You are really great

[CAR HONKS]

Look bro, sister's stuff of 1.9 ...
- Keep your mouth shut..Arh..

[KID MEOWING]

Meow.. Meow

Enough..come on, go play there
let dad sleep

[HUMMING SOFTLY]

Hmm..?
- Hmm..?

Kannan, better you park some where else
I play powerful shots

Stop bragging and play
- You bowl

Hey, Kannan dear..

Have you had tea?
- I had

It's Kannan !
- Come on, Kannan

This is the usual lunchtime game

Oh.. lunch ! it's 4 PM now

Don't we need to relax a little?
Is there a healthier game than this?

[HE CHUCKLES]

Thanks for that release, man

Oh..then..

Muthu, I have a small request

Can you arrange 'two' from her
for me before this trip?

Hmm.. [SIGHS]

Heh..! You agreed?

No, I did not. I was thinking
- Arh..

She won't trust me again,
but you can make it work

Play your hand, bro

You are very talented, Muthu

No..no.. I am good for nothing
- Hey..

You may even slightly degrade
me before her

She likes it
- Hands off, I will play

Hmm.. hmm

Bini, I'm in the middle of something;
I'll call you later, OK?

Alright, then

What were we talking about, Muthu?

We were just badmouthing Kannan
- My memory is weak these days

He is very smart and intelligent, no doubt

Don't tell me that,
You should not encourage this

I have lost the trust in him

He is into some off the track affairs.
Untrustworthy, I would say

What do you mean by it?

I have to take him with me for
a trip to Mumbai, for a couple of days

Is there any problem in it?

Nothing like that, he can be
trusted in that sense

I was just going with the flow..
- I got a little scared

Haven't we seen many ups and downs?
- Hmm..

Creating success is simple, but
maintaining it is hard

My sister, what a quote! It ought to
be kept here in a frame

I need to make a call..
Do you want to weigh this again?

No need
- Alright, then

Get me a packet

Don't look there, she's at the window

That was a little embarrassing

Shh..

Sheena, Idly is finished

Ah..Kannan, come sit
- Muthu

Hmm,,
Have some ..

No, I've already had my breakfast
- Have some beef..

Oh, it's beef? I'll then have a little

Hey..get some Idly
- Coming

One is enough
- Have it man

How's Keerthy?
- She's good

I'm done
- Is she doing well? - Yes

One last piece
- No, it's enough

Have it..I will bring tea

Have it, man

Muthu, I have a request

Want an omelet?
- Nothing like that

Could you drop me off in Coimbatore?
Tomorrow, I have to go to Bombay from there

You should not have asked me,
knowing my situation

The Ollur Rummy tournament is underway

As the defending champion, I cannot
miss it. You ask some one else

Hey Muthu..we'll go, stay the night there,

I will leave to Mumbai from there
and you can come back in the morning

Hey, it won't work
- Listen..

I have booked two rooms there

Hey..

In 'Cool Breeze'

Sheena
- What?

Are there any pressed jeans left?
- Yeah..

She says yes
[THEY CHUCKLE]

Look who's there!

Is the fish good?
- Of course, it's fresh

Hey, Bijoy
- Hi Muthu

What's the plan?
- Going to have some breeze

'Cool Breeze'
- Aha..

Hey.. give this to sister, forget not
- OK

Why didn't you tell me earlier?
- Look at his excitement!

[HE LAUGHS]
Look at his face ..oh!

Do you have a comb?
- It's in the glove box

Muthu, why do you have cash in here?

Cash ?
-Yeah..

Erm..

Ah.. That's Sheena's
She won a chit auction the other day

I forgot to take it home

You keep this much cash in here?
- Hey, stop bringing up money, bro

Did I ? You must be
a little more responsible

I just forgot it, buddy

Oh.. A temple it was!

Hey..don't be serious
Be happy

Throw a smile, man

Kumaran.. Muthu, I will be back while
you have a drink or two

Don't make us wait for long
- Not at all

It's just before Salem..
I will be back in no time

Please order some food
before you leave

Sure..
- Tell me, sir

One Ceylon Porotta.. two ghee porotta

Make it crispy with some additional ghee
- Sure, sir

Then, Kongunadu mutton curry..
What do you want as starters, Muthu?

Don't you have that mutton balls?
- Yes Kola.. mutton kola

Yes..one mutton kola..chicken lollypop
and a brain fry

One plate each, right?
- Yes, one plate each

Off I go..
- OK

Come fast
- Muthu, one moment please

Don't take it seriously
[HE CHUCKLES[

Kumaran, take good care of them
-OK, man

I will be back
- OK Dear..

Shall I take the bag?
- No it's fine

Get me the keys

Id?
- No need

How is business doing?
- Getting along. sir

It was dull for a while due to corona
Now it's slowly picking up

It's the same everywhere

[SINGING A SENSUOUS TAMIL FILM SONG]

Oh..here comes our boy!

The service at Cool Breeze is unmatched
Just a moment ..

You should take good care of us
- Sure. sir

You should be here when ever called
- OK, sir

Smile, you handsome..
- Thank you. sir

Off you go..

- Heh..

You listen, 20 is fine
- No, sir

Sir it will be 30 K..
- That's on the higher side

No sir, it's very reasonable
- Hey come on, man

Muthu, just a moment.
I'm in the middle of a deal

Listen to me
- No sir, it won't work

20
- The rate is too low sir..

Bijoy..

Muthu, can you wait for a moment?

Make it work for 20 K
Yours will be handled separately.

OK?
- OK, Sir

Ok

Soda for you, right?
- Yes

Will be a little late
- You should not have bargained

It will affect the quality

Everything is set
- Come on have a toast

Cheers

Tastes slightly off, isn't it?
- Must be of the water

Isn't this our car key?
- Oh.. our boy

This is the problem
with the switch start

What's it Muthu?
- Hey Kannan..

There is a small problem
The car key is with us

I should be slapped with a
chappal for having faith in you.

Don't get offended.. You are a dead beat

Do you have any seriousness?

Heck.. are you stupid or what!

That's not the issue
- What's not?

Kannan, can you come back?

If not, keep the engine running;
do you have enough fuel?

Yes..

Fill it up... call If anything happens,
we will come over.

OK

Give the phone to Muthu

He is here, but a bit miffed

He is listening

Muthu..

Did I hurt you?

It's alright

Anyone would have
been angry, right?

Are you alright?
- Yes I am

[SINGING THE TAMIL SONG]

♪The beauty that only a husband should see,
why, you display it like in a shop!♪

♪ Yo, beauty from the
land of Tamil language ♪

They are on the way
Two of them

I know..
- Huh..

Hmm.. don't take it seriously
- All the best

[HE CHUCKLES]

Woo-hoo!

Your names?

Tina.. Jina

Are you sisters?

Those are fake names, Muthu..
- Really?

[CHUCKLES]

Then I am Mohanlal and..
this is Mammootty

Hello
[THEY CHUCKLE]

Look, they are happy

No foreplay will be needed

You pick the green one and
go to the next room

OK
- Hmm..

What a killjoy he has been !

What's happened?
- Muthu..

I am busted by the police
It's trouble here

What?

I am detained by the Police

As the car had no key..
- Then?

They suspect it's a stolen car

You take a taxi and come with the key
I am here in Muthupettai Police station

Muthu..the gold..
- Huh..

Hey..have they busted the stuff too?

No worries, the guy who'd been with me
slipped out with it, It's safe

If it's not that serious,
can we take half an hour?

It's not a joke, Muthu

Where exactly is the location?
- Muthupettai

Muthupettai Police station
- Arh.. we will be there in no time

OK
-OK

Where is this Muthupettai?
- How should I know?, let's us find out

Isn't there a friend of his
somewhere around here?

What's his name? Yeah..Arul..

He lives near the bus stand, right?
We should take him with us

That's a good idea; otherwise,
we'd have language issues

..it's Tamilnadu
- Is there any problem, sir?

Nothing, sister.. Can you
call a taxi for us?

[Automated network response]

Here.. right, I guess

Only guess, not sure!

I came here only once,
for Arul's sister's wedding.

I was hell drunk, then

There was a temple and an
eagle at the junction,

Eagle must have flown away

Not a real eagle, but a statue
- Then it must be there

You've been trying to paint me
as a stupid for quite some time

It won't be of help for you in the future
Better you erase that thought

I know

Hmm.. I think it was somewhere here

Brother, please pull over here

Temple is here, but the
eagle is missing

Every intersection here has a temple
Are you sure it's here?

I think, it's that way
- We may ask someone

Hmm..

Heh!

Don't get disappointed
- I don't have much hope

Hey..
- Sir, phone

[DOOR SHUTS CLOSE]

It's Arul..

Arul, you recognise me?

I am Muthu, Kannan's partner

Brother, I had just spoken to Kannan

I don't think I could come with you

Look, you know I am not
familiar with this area

You will be a great help

Look bro, I have already
told Kannan

I need to take my mom
for dialysis tomorrow

No issues

Nobody else is there to take care of her
I need to be here, that's why

Arul, just a moment
Kannan is calling

Hello
- Muthu where are you now?

We are waiting for your friend
Arul to come, just in case

Leave him

Muthu, Listen carefully
- Huh..

Is it on loud speaker?
- Yes..

Turn it off

That's not a problem,
Go on

Turn off the speaker first,
and only then will I tell you this

Now, go on ..

The Police is aware of someone
fleeing the scene with the bag

They found some business cards
of gold dealers in the car as well

Muthupettai is very near to Jaffna,
it's notorious for smuggling

I have information that the Q branch
of Tamilnadu Police are on to it

If it is true, we are getting into
serious trouble

Do we need to arrange a lawyer?

That won't be needed. I got a chance to
speak with the DySP here

He has offered to take care of it
for Rs. 5 lakh

That's good.. we have the money, right?

We are coming then,,

We have only a little more than
Rs. 3 lakhs, right?

That's correct

Yes.. what to do for the rest?

Can you try to arrange
from some where?

If nothing works, tell them
that I'll give my chain

That's good.. We are coming

[HE SIGHS]

Muthu, we could land in trouble

What if they take the money
and put us in?

This is Tamilnadu, right?
- Did anyone tell you otherwise..huh?

Get in..

Go to Muthupettai..
- Via Salem road

Sir, Muthupettai and Salem are different
routes. Where to go now?

Where did you get this Salem?
- Wasn't he going by Salem route?

I didn't hear that
- I did, he clearly said that before going

Brother, go to Muthupettai police station

Salem route
- Shut your mouth

[PHONE RINGS]

Hello..
- Hello..

Is this Mathew's number?
- Yes..

I am the sub-inspector from
Muthupettai station

Er.. hello
-Yes, sir

Where have you reached, now?

We are on the way [BROKEN TAMIL]
- OK..

There is an overpass in the
high way en route Muthupettai..

..and a signal just after it

Arh..

Take a right from there
to the service road

We will be there,
the vehicle is Bolero

Is it on the right side, sir?
- Yes..on the right

Come there.. OK?
- OK, sir..we are coming

What's happening, Muthu?

Let's wait, right?
- What else to do?

Somebody is sitting in the passenger seat

Hmm..somebody's coming

Give it

There is a little shortage,
please bear with us

No..no, it won't work that way
You must pay the amount I said

Sir, Kannan will give you his chain
once he is out, then it will be OK

No chain, nothing,
I want the amount we have discussed

Otherwise, he will find fault with me

So, you should pay whatever I asked for

Sir, please have some mercy
We are from Kerala

Aren't you taking bribe?
Please adjust, sir

Hey, shut up and mind your business
- OK, Sir

OK, Give it

Follow that vehicle, I am
going to the station

Don't show that you know me,
when we get there. I too will play along

Sir..

Why did you talk like that, brother?
- Sorry, sir..

Take the right, brother

Come on, brother
- No sir

It will be a help, if you come
- I can't get involved in police matters

Thank you, sir. All the best
- Hmm..mm

Our car is here

Come..

[POLICE WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS]

Hey..what's the matter?
Come here

What were you guys doing there?

Our friend's car has been busted
Key's with us [BROKEN TAMIL]

OK, come with me

Sir, tell me..sir
OK, sir

[NOTING DOWN SOME NUMBER] ..4121
OK, noted, sir

Sir, these guys are related to that car,
the one without the key

Both of you, come
- Sir

Yes, sir.. it's something to
do with that case

Follow me

Hey..where is he taking us?

It's not my aunt's house, let's see

Go, wait there

Two of them..

Where are you from?
- Kerala, Trissur

Who’s is the owner of the car?

Give me the key

Please cooperate

Arh..

Turn around

Gurumoorthy, cross verify this license
with the registration documents

OK, sir

Move ..

You go this side

Move to that corner

Thiru, anything odd in it?
I am checking sir, shall let you know

Sir, I honestly work for a living,
and my family is a God fearing one

I'm done if they found out
I was in a police station

I am a well educated, law abiding citizen
- We have heard many stories like yours

Spit out the truth
- Please don't use vulgar language, sir

I am telling you. sir.. I swear on my kid,
I have done nothing wrong

I have not done anything illegal

Who was the other guy in the car with you?
Just answer the question

I was alone in the car.
Nobody else was with me

Let me tell you something

That policeman was drunk
He must have been delusional

You just call him and ask

Making up stories shamelessly..huh?

Sir, please don't get violent

I am completely cooperating with you,
right- sir? Show some respect, sir. please

We will finish you off

Kumar
- Yes, sir

Bring them
- Yes, sir

Sir..

Was it you who fled from the car?

Sir..
- Was it him who fled from the car?

We are friends

We came here from
Coimbatore in a taxi just now

Ask the driver to come
- He's gone

Yes..

What do you do for a living?

We are into used car business

Show me your card

We were in a hurry, I didn't take the card
However, we do have a website

Shall I open it on the phone?

Hey..

Kumar, take them down stairs
- Yes, sir

Hey, he seems to be confident
Nothing to worry

Sit down

You don't know,
I didn't even have underwear

Don't bring up your underwear at this time

Yes, mam
- Sir..

[HE WHISTLES]
Go inside

He is unconcerned about us

Why are you surprised? Hadn't he told us?

Come, sit here

How could you do this, Muthu?

What if we got arrested? They are
not going to hang us, are they?

Be happy, man..

Hey..want to relax?
Stand straight

Hey, have some tea

Thank you

Is the sugar OK?

Lacks slightly

Adjust with it
- OK

Is it smuggling?

No..

Are you from Jaffna?
- No..

Somebody will come to take you,
be ready by then, OK?

Arh.. to where?

Are you okay

Hey.. move

Tell me, sir... hmm..OK.. sure

So, you are into car business

What business were you
doing in mid night, huh..?

Don't we have freedom to do
business at midnight ?

Don't act smart.. How dare you
talk about rights, in my area?

The entire area is under my control
I will lock you up, mind it

Sir..

Idiots
- Sorry, sir

No matter where you are,
you must come here when called

Got me?
- Sir..sir

Give me a couple of days time, sir

We will get the evidence
if we question them properly

We don't have that time. It will
become a big human rights issue

Sir, there must be some
Jaffna connection..

What connection are you talking about?
We have all their details

We can find out using these, got me ?

You may go
- Thank you, sir

Kannan, who is the guy
who fled with the gold?

He is a friend, don't worry
it's safe with him

I am calling him, my phone is also with him

This guy.. he was shit scared yesterday
- [CHUCKLES] Were you?

Don't lie, Muthu
I was rock solid

Yeah..right, quite a performance

Hello.. I am out, where are you?

OK.. so you will reach Coimbatore by
the evening, right?

Alright

He is OK, it's safe
- Good

Hmm...

What's happened?

Muthu.. I'm heading to Mumbai now..
Are you awake?

Got the stuff?
- He's brought it yesterday itself

All good?
Yes,Arul's dropping me off at the bus stand

Oh.. Jesus.. what a relief!

Be careful

Don't worry, friend. I'll be back soon
- Bon voyage.. hmm..

I'm Kannan, we had spoken earlier-
to Mumbai,

AC or non- AC?
Id proof..

Sister, tell me
- Muthu, where is our Kannan?

I've been calling him since I landed here

He is not available yet

I'm here in Mumbai now, believing his words

Let me try calling him, sister

I've been going soft on him

I guess, he has fled switching off
the phone.. crook

Hey, he won't leave you stranded
He might have got stuck somewhere

phone might have
run out of charge

Muthu, let him be very clear

If I end a relationship,
I really mean it

You know me, right?
- Sister, wait for some more time

Let me call him and get back to you

Sister and he must be in the GST office.
She had called me earlier

Please look for him
- Sure, I will call you later

OK

[Automated network response]

Shall we lodge a complaint?

He has gold on him. What if
we have to furnish the details?

Let's ask sister?
- Let's do that

We may go to the station with his dad.
That's the safest option

We dropped him at Coimbatore
a couple of days back

Bijoy, you guys make a trip to Mumbai

For the return trip, take the road route.
He could have met with some accident

The phone was last used in Mumbai
before it was turned off

Anyhow, Cyber wing is investigating,
I will also conduct a parallel inquiry

Was he a gold rider?
- Yes..

For how long ?
- He's been on the field for 5-6 years

Snitching?
- No..

[Indistinct chatter]

Do you have cigarettes?
- It's in the car

[KIDS PLAYING] How big is this house?
- It's a two-storied one

Mom, have you seen my house?

Brother, any information?
- Don't worry, they're investigating

We are leaving to Mumbai today,
Sister is there

Let's see while we return
One second ..

Hello..
Is it Mathew?

Mathew, this is SHO, Ollur
- Tell me. sir

We have just got a message
from, Chembur Police station, Mumbai

Arh..

An unidentified dead body in a lodge

They have found an id card
of our boy, from the room

We are collecting the details,
shall inform you...

[Indistinct chatter]

Move aside..

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]

Why is it so crowded here? Clear off

Hey.. move back

No onlookers should be there

Where is it ?
- In the room, this way

This side?
- Yes..

Show me..

[INDISTINCT BACKGROUND CONVERSATIONS]

The padlock on the door was broken, sir

This one ?
- Yes

You smashed it?
- No, it was them

Shall I?
- Hmm..

[DOOR CREAKS OPEN]

Got this iD card from here

We have informed the address, sir
It's in Kerala

Greetings

You go, I'll wait here

[SLAP]
Who broke the lock?

Him?
- Sir...

Was it you?
Why did you break the lock?

They know nothing, sir

We'd been calling him since the day before
He was not returning the calls

Sir..there was another lock on it..

Sister..
- Greetings

He is the president of the Malayali
association

Secretary, to be precise
- Mani Kurup

They call me Kurup

Have a seat
- Yes

Erh..

Room was locked from outside
with another padlock

The hotel staff had to break in
The body was found hanging

There are fatal wounds on his body,
I am told

There was a pool of
blood in the room

[SHE SNIFFLES]

Is there some gold missing?
Was he carrying gold?

Who's crying there?

The police is questioning
the hotel staff

They are from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar

We can't trust them
They are very dangerous

[SUSPECT SCREAMS]
Who broke the lock?

Jayant Sakhalkar
will be the IO in our case

He is known to me

He is a shrewd guy, very efficient

He has keen academic interest
in such cases

Academic interest means what?
- Some inanity

Have it

I don't want
- Have it

Hey, Kurup
- Yes, sir

Come on in
- I'm coming

So, this Trissur is India's
gold capital ! Nice

You don't know Hindi?
- A little bit

So, tell me madam, How much
gold was he carrying?

See, whatever figure you tell me now,
That much I can give you back..

..once I find it.
So, give me the exact figure

Let me discuss it with them
and tell you later

Great, OK

Well, I've told him..that this case
has to be investigated very fast

There is this journey, from Trissur
to Chembur- Kannan's journey

That's very important in this case

So, we have to travel back to Trissur
and look for evidence to investigate

Normal government procedure will
take time

What he says is that the normal
procedure is time consuming

If you can meet the expenses,
he can make it fast

Muthu.. what to do?
- What?

He will come and do
everything if we can pay

We can do what ever..

That's fine, sir
We will meet the expense

It's by itself a gold case also
The gold can vanish like this

[RECITING RAMAYANA]

[CHEERING FROM TABLE FOOTBALL]
Move forward ..

Stop it stop... Hey hey …..
its gone … gone…

Oh.. yes…

Let's set it up here..
- OK

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]

Look, I don't have the exact figures

Do not bother about it now,
It' will be better to tell them the truth

Who is Keerthy here?

Hello, Keerthy

I am Inspector Jayant Sakhalkar
from Chembur

Hmm..
- We've met, no?..yeah

They are my colleagues- Yashpal,
Anshuman, Bhaskar...

This is Morey and he is Alex

He will translate the conversation

How was your family life?

We were living happily

What was his financial situation like?

We do have some debts now,
but it's better than it was before

We made it through, repaying

Now we are way better, financially

Yeah.. he does have some debts

But those debts are mine as well

Muthu, How exactly do you
run your business?

Well,, we have a supply chain
up to Mumbai

We make jewellery here
and supply the merchants

They provide us with the pure gold

The jewellery is made by mixing
copper with the gold

Our profit is a percentage of that copper

It may appear lucrative to outsiders, but..

It's not as profitable as iron or so..

So, you say that there is no
gain from this business

Not that we don't make anything

we started from the scratch

From this alone, he could build
a house and marry off his sister

I also make a decent living from this

Don't you know about
the risks involved?

Hmm..

Yet you did not try to stop him

Yes, risk is there.. no business
is risk free

For instance Kannan's father

He was running a tea stall
in Coimbatore, totally risk free

Then there was a bomb blast
Kaboom - the end

After some days I tried
starting another shop

That too did not take off

What should I have advised him,
being a loser myself?

What we see now
is the result of his hard work

You know, nothing is completely legal here

He was very studious, but..

I could not give him
proper education

He was a smart guy,
he knows three or four languages

Nobody could say no to him

All I have is the craft

Kannan was handling
the sales and marketing

How did Kannan get
this mark on his back?

It's of an offering ritual, sir

He used to perform hanging-
a flesh piercing ritual- every year

I am not surprised of his fate
His stars were not all aligned

He was a 'cursed Capricorn' by birth

This was the final one of his lives

He had to endure all of
these pains before his death..

..as he does not have another life

Who is this Arul?
- He is Kannan's friend

He lives in Coimbatore and
has paid us visits on occasion

They were classmates up until ITI,
then we moved here

We used to meet at our room
when we visited Coimbatore

Why didn't he come, Arul?

He told me that his mom was
in hospital. May be because of that

His mother was not feeling well

So, he is not your friend?
- No, I know him, that's all

I've met a lot of them

He does business all the way up to Mumbai,
and knew many such guys

Can you recollect your
last conversation with him?

Erh.. he had called me
when got there in Mumbai

Told that he was waiting
sister Ambika to arrive

He also told me that pending bills
were all cleared

..and had promised me to call by the
evening, but couldn't reach him after that

How much gold did he have
when he left here?

I don't know exactly, but
he had taken 'two' from me

There were some pending stuff
to collect en route

He had told me that he got those,
if that's the case...

..it must have been around 8 kilograms

His plan was to collect it on the way
and wait for us in Mumbai

We were to stay in Mumbai and
send the gold with Manikkuttan.

Who is this Manikkuttan?
- He is one of my helpers

Could you object if we said you and your
boys killed him for the gold?

Sir..please sir..

What happened?

Don't speak like this, son,
You risk being cursed

You are mistaken; simply ask around
about me in Trissur, you will get to know

Don't say things like this..
Sir, he is crossing the limits

Is it, Alex? Why are you
crossing the limits, man?

Sorry..

Look madam, especially in these gold
smuggling cases.. I have studied

..that the closely associated people,
they only give the tip to the criminal

You, Arul, Bijoy, Muthu, you all
are aware of Kannan's journey

Right?
OK - Yeah

So isn't it normal to suspect you all?

Ask him about the Muthupettai incident
- OK

Kannan told you he was going to Salem
but ended up in Muthupettai instead

There is a small confusion in it

I heard him saying that he
was headed to the Salem route

I took it up with Muthu, but he said
other wise

See, that's how this business works

The gold riders won't disclose their route,
as there could be snitches around

He won't tell me, or even his wife

We won't ask, either

You say, it was his friend who
slipped with the gold from the car

Do you know him?

Kannan has several friends in Coimbatore
It's his home town

It must be somebody he trusts, or else
he would not have given the stuff

You didn't ask his name?
- No, I did not

Why didn't you ask him
After being involved in such an incident?

Do you recognise the person?

It's Kannan
-Hmm..

Kannan is seen leaving the lodge
just after checking in

He was being followed
when he returned

Do you recognise the person
following Kannan?

No, sir..

No..

No?

Is that Kannan's bag?

Is it ?
- Yes it is

Sure?
- Sir

So, he is the one who did it, right?

[GULPS]

What are you thinking, Muthu?

Share it with me

Share it, man

About him..what else to think?

Have a drink

If you try to console me,
I will smash your face

Hands off me..
-OK

They were childhood friends

..and classmates up until ITI
before we moved here

So his mother is telling that..

Kannan's father used to run
a tea shop in Coimbatore

That's when Kannan and Arul
studied in the ITI together

Why did Arul skipped the questioning?

Is he lying about his mother's illness

There is something off in it

You too felt it, right?
- Yes..

[PHONE RINGS]

Hello..

Muthu, Alex here
- Tell me, sir

We need to go to Coimbatore tomorrow
- Sure, sir

But why?
- By 8 AM

[LINE DISCONNECTED]

[SINGING AN OLD HINDI SONG]

Have you seen him?

Mammootty and Mohanlal

[A WOMAN COUGHS]

[KNOCKING ON THE DOOR]

[DOOR OPENS]

Brother..
- Arul..

They are Maharashtra Police

They are investigating Kannan's case

[SHE COUGHS AGAIN]
Come on in

[COUGHING CONTINUES]

Why didn't you come
for his funeral?

Mom was unwell, that's why..

Is she alright now?
- Yes

They want you to identify a guy

This photo was taken from
Coimbatore bus stand

This guy, wearing the hat

Do you know him?

What's happening, any problem, sir?
Whom are they looking for?

I don't know, brother

This is the guy who
followed Kannan to Mumbai

Look, can you recognise him?

I don't know, brother

Ask him about Muthupettai incident?

When Kannan was detained by
the Muthupettai Police..

[BROKEN TAMIL] The guy who ran had
Kannan's phone and he'd called you...

You may speak in Malayalam

When kannan was detained by
Muthupettai Police..

There was this guy who fled the scene
with his phone

You had called to his number that day
They want to know who that guy was

Tell them

I don't know, brother.
I was calling Kannan

I couldn't talk to him as the signals were
weak and his voice kept breaking

Voice break?

So the voice was breaking for
the entire 45 seconds?

Were you saying just hello the whole time?

It's the Police
- Are you lying or what?

Sir I don't know English
- You don't know?

He is lying..Tell him that
he has to come with us

Look sir, I am telling the truth, sir
The voice was not clear

What's the problem?
- It's nothing uncle

Nothing to worry about,
these are people I know

There are police men out side,
that's why I am asking

Not an issue, I will explain later
You may please leave now

OK, we will be outside

You go out..out

I am telling the truth, sir

I could not talk to him properly, sir

Arul, you will have
to come with us

We have some questions for you

Why me, sir?
- Why?

I will tell you why..You
don't know English, right?

I am aware that you know everything

You know English, Hindi and everything
You're acting out a drama with us

Come with us, we have to go now

Tell him..

They have questioned us all
We are all part of it

They want to know the details

Come, all of us will be there

[SHE COUGHS AGAIN]

Let me change, then
- He wants to change the dress

Go, make it quick

Hey..Muthu..

People are gathering,
this is Tamilnadu, mind it

Move aside..

Crowd is gathering, be alert
- OK, Sir

Be on guard

Sir, don't take out the gun
The crowd may turn violent

Don't worry, you sit tight

Disperse the people,
Ask them to leave

Tell them to go home..
- Hey Bhaskar, control the crowd

Hey.. get out of here
Don't you understand?

Hey.. hey.. stop.
Catch him.

Hey..hey.. stop there

He's run
- What the..

Hey Bhaskar, Pranav come here,
what are you doing?

Have you come here to watch some
comedy show or what?

He has gotten away..

What has he done?

Hadn't I told you to keep an eye on him?

Sir.we didn't know about
the back door

Didn't I tell you to be alert?.

Move

Sorry, sir
- What a shame!

And all of you call yourselves
policeman.. huh !

Are you even listening, Morey?

They don't understand the language,
and neither do we

Then why did you chose
to become a cop?

Making absurd excuses!

He bolted in front of you and
you're yet to grasp its gravity

[CROWD BOOING]

Had not I told you specifically
to be alert?

If someone had blocked the backdoor,
we could have caught him

I would have run after him
but nobody was there to back up

Muthu, why did he run?

Do you expect an answer from me?

No... I get it.. How would you know!

Track him down and figure out if we
still can catch him

See.. We, the Maharashtra police, ..

..are investigating a mallu
murder case in TN, it's gonna be tough

Hey..Saravanan

Come here..

What happened?
- Don't know, sir

Hey, Muthu?

Why you're stopping here?
- Need to take money from this ATM

Sir, Arul is here
- Please don't brother

Why did you run?
- Please brother..

Sir, he is here
- Brother, please don't do this

I know nothing, brother
-Then why did you run?

Sir..
- What happened, bro?

..got locked inside?
- He is a wanted guy

A thief?

- Brother, brother..please

Bijoy, call Jayant Sir
Sir, Arul is here

Sir..

Muthu brother, please

Brother..brother
- Come here, you..

Save me please, brother..
They are taking me, brother

[CROWD CLAMOURING]

He's a criminal. We are from Mumbai Police

Do not interfere.. keep your mouth shut
[ARUL SCREAMS]

Hello Alex..

Yes sir..OK

Muthu, We urgently require
three plane tickets to Mumbai

Keeping him here for long is not safe

[KNOCKING ON THE DOOR]

Hope he drinks
- Why not! He's Malayali, no?

Your name is Alex, right ?
- Yes..

Are you settled in Mumbai?

My mom works as a teacher there

Is she doing well?
- Yes..

Convey our regards to her,
when you call

Sure..

After all, he doesn’t look like a Malayali
- Malayalis are awesome

Of course...

We just wanted to know
about the case

Hope you don't mind having
a drink or two

I do mind..
- OK..

He is far too unfriendly
- Is he truly a Malayali? I have my doubts

Which floor is the bar?
- What, sir?

Bar..

I feel like going back to
Allappey for honey moon

Alleppey is fun

Munnar, Kochi, Fort Kochi...
[Tourist destinations in Kerala]

Sir..
- Eh..

He said we are going to Muthupettai
[BROKEN ENGLISH]

Why?

He wants to verify whether your
Muthupettai story is true or not

Hmm?
- Hmm

What's he saying?
-They want to verify

What's there to verify?

I can't ask in English anymore,
you do if you want to know

Hmm?

See, these days the investigation
has become easy

Because of the technical support

You have got call data records,
tower locations and CCTV

Everything is there. So in this team..

I provide that technical support
..hmm?

Sir, in your Kannan's case

Kannan had a second number, right?

On that night, the phone was
with a friend, right?

Arul had called that number

A call dialled from the number
was located in Muthupettai

.. it belongs to a girl

We are going to Muthupettai to
find that other person

Got it?

Have you, Muthu?

They're looking for that jerk who
got away with the gold from Kannan's car

Kannan's second phone was with him,
got me?

Arul had called to that number
and spoken to him

That jerk had also called some girl
in Muthupettai from that phone

We're going to look for her there.
We'll find out about him once we get her

Correct sir?
- Arh..!

Whom to ask! Madhu, did I get that right?
- Yes

That's it

Sir,we were on night duty, checking
vehicles at the Pettai junction

A fast-moving vehicle approached us

I saw two people in the vehicle

Hey..stop, stop

Seeing us, they turned around and sped away

[SIREN BLARES]

Go fast.. get them,
Something wrong

let's go..

We lost them during the chase
even though we tried hard

I was aware of the ongoing
bridge work there..

So I took the market road and
caught the vehicle

But then, there was only one person inside

..and that was Kannan
- Thank you, Ashok

Can you identify the second person?

No, sir. It was dark, I could not see
his face properly

She is coming.

So tell us
- Sir the number is hers

But she does not have it now
She has given it to a friend

What's this friend's name?

She's not telling me, sir.
She's behaving strangely

She did not tell you even
after you slapped her?

I tried that too, sir but she won't budge

What is she saying?
- Give me a sec

[BROKEN HINDI] She confirms that it is
her daughter's number

But it's not with them now
It's with one of her friend

Hmm...
- But..

Her daughter is refusing to
disclose the name

So, she is not telling it, right?

She is a little kid, sir. She knows nothing

I too have such a kid at home.
Don't worry, we just need to talk

Tell her not to worry

There is nothing to worry about
We will just have a chat with her

Kanakaraj, sir

I am not at all interested in knowing
whether you've taken money or not

It's none of my business

If there was an outsider who
struck a deal for Kannan

We could ask him about
Kannan's activities

So that was the whole idea

Sir, I know my team members
- Definitely, sir

We are a bunch of dedicated officers

You can rest assured that we are not
involved in any such activities

No, I am sure, sir ..If you are saying so

But according to Muthu's story..

He himself had given some money to
a short guy from your ranks

He was a short guy

I am sorry, what's your name, again?
-

Sir, Inspector Jayant Sakhalkar from
Chembur police station

Look sir, there are several such
short officers in our department

Obviously, sir

And I don't know who you are talking about
- Obviously sir

In fact none of them are available
here at the moment

All of them are in the outskirts of the
town, controlling a political gathering

So unfortunately, I won't be
able to help you at the moment

Oh..really?

And I really don't know who
you are talking about

Well sir, we can go there and..
- Wait

Are you questioning me?
- No sir, not at all

In fact I am just putting across
a request

..for your co operation and help.
No way I am questioning you

Then let me speak to
your senior officers

You will get an update from them
automatically

Definitely
- So, good day

Thank you so much, sir
- Thank you, officer

Muthu, do one thing..

Alex, tell him about it

He has spoken about your money with
the DySP. You may go in and ask him

He'll give it back to you. Don't worry.
we have made the arrangements

You just go and ask

Sir
- Yes

My cash..
- What cash?

The bribe you took ..

Bloody rascal, get out

Ahem..

He kicked me out

It's OK, I just wanted to verify

You did good, Muthu, come

What's your friend's name?

Open your mouth and spit it out

She is just a kid, don't yell
It could make her more stubborn

Dear, please tell his name

Tell..

Open your mouth and tell him

Don't yell at her, she will tell

The Mumbai police is not like
our Tamilnadu or Kerala police

This is a murder case, do you know that?

This sir is an encounter specialist

They have a shoot at sight order

Tell them what you know

Show her the shoot at sight order, sir

Look at that, he has a gun too

You may just name him

He is not just a friend
but my boyfriend

Oh ! is it? Would you to marry him?
- You have a boyfriend !

Yes..
- That's good

I will help you marry him, this
police uncle also will be with us

This police uncle too,
all of us will be with you

Enough? OK?

Who is he?

Don't waste time, tell his name
and elope with him

Don't yell
- You just tell me

Please, dear.. tell me

Spit it out, you..

Vicky..

Vicky!

Didn't you get anyone
other than that criminal?

Oh..sister..get up, sister..
what happened ?

What have you done?
How could you do this ?

Tell me
- The girl has a boyfriend

The number belongs to him..
His name is Vicky, a petty criminal

Vicky...Venkitesh

Got him?
-No sir, he is in jail now

We have to get that DySP's permission
to interrogate him

Hmm..OK

Sorry to trouble you again, sir

But we need your permission to interrogate
a small time criminal..

Venkitesh Ravi aka Vicky.
He is in some sub jail

Ask one of your senior officers to
give me a call

Or why don't you try
going to the court?

Sure, sir

My seniors would
certainly call you, sir

Let me tell me one thing before that

Kannan was wearing a gold chain
when he was detained..

..which was missing
when he was released

I have an eye witness with me, Muthu
right, Muthu?

Yes, sir

I won't mind spending a number of days
here eating Tamil food

But I will get that short guy,
arrest him and interrogate him

After all it's a murder case, sir

You will be entangling yourself in it,
unnecessarily

Now you decide..
[CHUCKLES]

[EXHALES SHARPLY AND THEN CHUCKLES]

Sir..

End of the day, we are police officers but
from different states

..having the same goal, right?
- Sure sir

Let me see what I can do for you
- Appreciate it

Look who's come for me, the Mumbai police.
I am not a petty criminal any more

So..Mr. Venkitesh
- You can call me Vicky, sir

Oh..is it?
- Yes, sir

Vicky!

So Vicky, can you speak English?
- Yes, sir, very well

That makes my work easy

Tell me, sir

Anshu, record this conversation

[CHUCKLES]

Is this some kind of audition?

So Vicky, 8 May, night..you received
a call from this number 9497323412

..and you spoke for two minutes
continuously

I just want to know what exactly
happened during the..

Slowly, sir..
- What?

I can't keep up with you
when you speak quickly

So speak slowly enough for me to understand

Really?
- Yes..

Hmm..

Show him Kannan's photograph

Can you see the photo?
- Yes..

Do you know him?

This is our Kannan..
- What!

Our Kannan..sorry
[HE CHUCKLES]

This is our Kannan, sir
- So, you know him

What sir? You just asked him to
show me Kannan's photo..

So that must be Kannan, right, sir?

Oh..how smart!
- Yes, sir..

Hmm...

So Vicky..
-Yes sir

This is Kannan, right?

Somebody had called you from his
number on 8 May

..and spoke with
you for two minutes.

What exactly were you two talking about?

Sir, even if you ask me about
yesterday's events...

I won't be able to recall them

So how can I respond if you ask
me about something from the past?

You don't remember?
- No, sir

Obvious, no?
- Yes..sir

Vicky, come here, I will
tell you a secret

Tell me. sir

Well, I am not at all interested in you

But I will take your girlfriend to
Mumbai and interrogate her..

Unless you tell me
the details

[HE SCREAMS]

Sir..sir.. it will may cause trouble
- Relax

Sir, you can't do this..
- It's OK, It's normal

Better you tell me the details otherwise
I will press the accelerator more

[MUFFLED GROAN]

Sit..sit, please sit

[HE GROANS]

It was Abbas bhai who
called me from that phone

He was stranded there and wanted me to
pick him up and drop off at Coimbatore

Now where is Abbas?
- I don't know, sir

Anshu
- Yes..

Is this him?

No, sir..this is not him

No?
- No, sir..

Sir, this is Abbas, sir
- Are you sure?

Yes sir, he is a wanted person
who has a bounty on him

Hmm.. Anshu, get his phone number
Give your phone number to him

Muthu, it's the same person

It's not him
- Oh, that's him for sure- Abbas

I see..it's just him..He must have been
on a diet, he has shed a lot of weight

I did not even recognise him
- Really?

So thank you, bro
- Thank you, sir

If the Muthupettai guy and the
one on the CCTV are the same..

So..?

I was just thinking
- Where are the cigarettes?

Finished, I guess

Why didn't you buy some?
I really needed one

Madhu, please buy a couple of packets
- OK

Feeling sick? There'll be a nice
sea breeze if you open the window

[PHONE RINGS]

[PHONE RINGING]

What's the matter?
- Brother, where are you?

Somewhere in Tamilnadu,
don't know the exact location

Sister Ambika had come the other day
for the rituals of Kannan

Hmm...

She says, it was his friend who
fled with the bag from Muthupettai

But what he told me was

..that the man in the car was a hitchhiker,
who fled seeing the police

Do we need to inform the cops?

What should I do?

Hello... brother..

I am getting another phone call,
it's them, the Police

You need not worry, I will handle it
OK

The person we believe to have followed
Kannan from Coimbatore to Mumbai and...

..murdered him, is the same guy who was
with him at Muthupettai- Abbas, his friend

How could a close friend have
secretly followed him for so long?

Do you notice anything unusual
about Kannan's steps in the video?

He is not being followed..

Isn't he trying to shield the
man behind, from the camera?

But why?

Kannan had a plan

That plan could have involved
nicking the gold...

.. from Ambika's men
with the help of this Abbas

However, Abbas is seen leaving the
hotel room with the gold all by himself

There had been a last-minute
turn of events in the room

Abbas may have found it easier
to bump off Kannan and ...

.. flee with the gold than
dealing with Ambika's men

Arul, the guy we took to Mumbai
has not opened his mouth yet

He was fully aware of
Kannan's plan, we guess

Not only him, all of his close
friends knew about it, we are certain

Did you know about it, Muthu?
- I didn't know, sir

Muthu..

So you don't know?
- I don't know

Come on, Muthu? You were his best friend

I am hearing it for the
first time, honestly

So, you don't tell me?
- I don't know, sir

Hmm..

Ahem..

See, Muthu..

I know, you are the best friend of Kannan
and you know everything about him

So tell me the truth

Look at me

I can extract the truth,
I am telling you

I am telling the truth,
I don't know sir

Sir, the warder from the jail has
sent a message

What?
- He has got the address of Abbas

Is it?
- Yes sir

Good

Hey Morey, Alex, Keep an eye on these guys
Let's get Abbas

Bhaskar, Anshu let's go..
Come on, let's crack this case today

We have to go home tomorrow
..and I'll get back to you

Hey..Madhu.. you come with me

Got the cigarettes ?
- He will get it

Are you suffocating?

One sec..

Sir, that green coloured house

Sister..
- Hey..

Anshu..
- Yes sir..

Sir..

Anshu, is this Kannan's bag?

Yes, sir

Nothing, sir...

Hey SundarRaj, make her speak

Do whatever you can, shout at her,
threaten her, whatever..

Use all the cuss words in Tamil
- Sure sir

Sir
- I am talking, don't you see?

She knows Hindi
- What?

She understands Hindi
- Oh..I see

Wow..

Where is he, Abbas?

I am asking you, where is Abbas?

I don't ..

Means what?

You don't know or won't tell us?

Look he has committed a murder

I will pick him, and take him to Mumbai
I will thrash him like anything

He won't be able to stand on his
own for the rest of his life.

Better you talk

You won't talk?
- No

If you don't open your mouth
You too will be taken to Mumbai

You will be beaten up as well,
got me?

We have found a bag from your house
and there is no gold in it

So better you talk,
where is Abbas?

I will finish you off right here..
Do you understand?

Your girl will be orphaned and sent
to some orphanage

Do you understand?

I am not telling you anything

You...

Doesn't she understand Hindi?
- Yes sir..

Then why is she so stubborn?

Sir..
- What?

[WHISPERING IN MARATHI LANGUAGE]

Sarika?
- Yes, Sarika

Haseena..

So you are not willing to talk..

You won't give any information
OK, don't

But I can give you some
fresh information

9061306907 - Is this Abbas' number?

Hmm..

Last week alone, he has made
600 calls from this number

All to a single number

Do you know whose number is that?
A girl in Chennai

They are involved, Abbas and she

He is planning to take the gold
and elope with her

To SriLanka

Do you know her name?

Sarika?

Correct..

Five points for the answer
Hmm..?

[PHONE CHIMES]

Take the call and put it on speaker

Hello
- Track it

Hey..
- Hello

Where are you?

I am in Bombay, tell me

- You stay inside the car

She has entered the theatre
He will be there soon

Tea, please

I've known Kannan since
our days in Coimbatore

Three of us, me Kannan and Arul
had been classmates in the ITI

He was struggling financially for a while

He had a plan to get out of it

I told him that it was risky

He came to Muthupettai to convince me
and take me to Mumbai

Come on, bro..

Bro, won't there be CCTV?

That won't be a problem,
you just wear a cap

There was a police checkpoint on the way

Go..go..fast

He was very particular that the
cops should not find us together

As soon as we escaped the police...

.. he left me at a deserted location
with his phone and the bag

He'd strictly told me not to use
my phone during the journey

It was Arul who informed me that
the Muthupettai police had taken him

Then I called Vicky, and
got away from there

The following day, Kannan and I
took a bus from Coimbatore to Bombay

Hey, what are you gonna do?
- Wait..

Hello sister..when are you
starting from there?

All pending items are collected .. all good

How many of you are coming?

OK, I will make the bookings

Alright, then..

[SIGHS]

Get up, man..

Drop all of these on the floor

It should look like a fight scene
- OK.. done

Slowly..don't make noise

Alright ..take it out..

What .. ?
- Take it

OK..

One second ..

Keep this

Take this off too

OK

You good?

OK

It should be like I tried to
block when you slashed me

Right here..
-OK

Don't be nervous, go easy

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

Wait..wait.. not like that

It will be fine if you take a step back.
The force should be there

OK..

Don't cut my fingers
- Hey..

Don't confuse me,
I am losing concentration

Sorry.. I won't utter a word again

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

What if you scream in pain?

Shall I put some cloth in your mouth?

Don't bring any new ideas, do what I say

Arh..

[EXHALES SHARPLY]

Don't think..

OK..

What are you doing man..Just slash me
- Be calm..

Arhh..
[HEAVY BREATHING]

[HE GROANS IN PAIN]

[HEAVY BREATHING]

Is it OK?
- [GROANS] Hmm..

[HE PANTS]

It's OK..
- Take that chair

[HIS LABOURED BREATHING]

Don't tie it tightly, I may have to
help myself if nobody comes

Or else, I could die
- OK..OK

OK..Arh..

Open it. quick

That's your share

Thanks, bro..

[ZIPPER RUNS]

Ah.. yes..
[KERCHIEF FLAPS]

Hmm..

Hemm.. eh..

Bye, bro..

In a city where more than 200 murders
take place every year..

.. gold agent Kannan's death at the
Kamala lodge..

..also seemed like another
perfect case of murder

All the evidences were pointing towards
a brutal act of violence

A murder for gain..

The door was locked from outside
using another padlock

..and inside the room,
it was a total mess

Signs of struggle could be
seen everywhere

A deep cut wound was
found on the body

A rope was tied to the window as if
the body was hung after killing

..also there were CCTV visuals

.. which showed us the entry and exit of
an unidentified individual..

..at the crime scene

And Kannan's gold bag was missing too

Although all these evidences were
pointing towards a certain murder..

A few facts were bugging me
right from the beginning

Why did no one hear even a
slightest sound of this fierce struggle?

Even after Kannan was attacked so badly!

Also Kannan's blood stained prints were
found on the switch board and the fan

How did they end up there?

So, once we caught Abbas and
started interrogating him..

Then only we were able to find
answers to these questions

And the postmortem report which we got
the other day also supported our findings

..that Kannan's death was not a murder

According to the findings of the police
this is not a murder..

..but suicide

But Kannan wanted to
stage it as a murder

I know, Kannan already had
a lot of problems

He was neck deep in debts

He was worried about losing life savings..

.. and his family being
forced onto the streets

He promised me 2 kg of gold from
what he was planning to nick

He wanted it to look
like a robbery

But, I did not expect him to
take his own life

With his years of experience
in this field Kannan knew..

.. that a simple made up
story of robbery won't stick

That might have prompted him
take this decision

Had he not been detained by
Muthupettai police that day..

Had there been no calls from
that phone to trace,,,

His plan would have been
worked out, to a certain extend

It would have looked like
some one had followed him..

..and murdered him for the gold
- Sir, one second..

What is his gain
in making this a murder?

Oh..benefit?

It's an expected question
I will tell you..

Tell him

In your line of work,
for a gold agent like Kannan..

..which is more likely to
attract leniency- suicide or murder?

Kannan didn't have much pending
gold to collect, as he was claiming.

Which means he had
that much of debt to pay off

They have already verified it
with his merchants

The only gold he had with him
was..

2 kilograms ornaments which he took
from Trissur in last trip

He had to kill himself in order to
prove that he had been robbed

That's the truth

What truth?

He had no reason to
take his own life

He would have repaid if he had debts,
He was such a confident guy

He was my soul-mate

He would have told me
if he was that broken

Otherwise, he would have
told her, wouldn't he?

Look..

Muthu, please keep your emotions aside
and listen to me

Come on, Muthu, what should I do more
to make you realise..

Should I die like Kannan?
- Enough, sir.. enough

We will move legally
to get it re- investigated

Come on..don't you have the
contact of Joshy?

Jai Hind, sir..

Yes, sir..

Arul, you are being called

[INDISTINCT BACKGROUND CHATTER]

[INDISTINCT BACKGROUND CHATTER]

Uncle..

Give me that..

He had come to meet me
before setting off to Mumbai

Muthu..

Please try to understand
There are times when people lie to you

Your own friends hide truth from you..

They do this, just because
they don't want to hurt you

They show confidence only to
hide weaknesses, you get me?

Muthu, listen to me

I had no other intention..
- Get lost, you..

What..?
- He says, you may please go

Was it a 'Please' ?

That did not sound respectful..

OK..I get it.

..and by the way Muthu..

I quite like you..
You are too innocent

..and that's your problem..

But what to do, I'm a public servant

..which makes me always one-sided

I have to stand by the truth, no?

[IN MALAYALAM] Now, you get lost..

Sister..

We must not admit that he
committed suicide

We must not..

Are you listening, Keerthy?

He used to lie a lot, brother

I knew, I knew it..

If we admit the fact, they
will easily make it a suicide

He did not want that

I failed to stand with him,
now is the time for it

That's what love is all about

Let him win.. let him..

For what, brother? He has gone, no?

I don't have any other options

I've run a long distance

The finish line is getting closer

In hindsight, I realise that
I'd been on the wrong track

We can't start over; right? the only
option left is to finish this race

I have to keep my family safe, that's all

Bro..
- Hey..

Not to worry, everything will be fine

If things go wrong,
please give it to her

Tell her that I tried my best,
won't you?
