'POLICE STATION'

[city traffic sounds]

Of all the places, he sticks his poster right in front of the police station!

'Skilful assistant needed for a Detective Agency'

[doorbell ringing]

[door opens]

Dominic Detectives…?

I saw the ad and came for the interview.

Oh, over there…

Go ahead, jump right in!

Fellows show up for interviews every day.

But as far as I know, not a single person has been selected yet…

Hello?

Anybody there?

Dominic Detectives...

[door creaking open]

The air, so thick with the pungent smell of dried blood...

I slowly walked through that corridor.

The room was a wreck, objects strewn everywhere...

A brutal and heinous murder has been committed.

-The killer has abandoned... -Isn't this the same room?

the murder weapon nearby.

The room is covered in pools of blood.

I look around.

In the dim light,

-Sir? -...the scene is barely visible.

There’s no one else in the room.

Bracing myself for whatever awaits,

I walked ahead.

-C.I. Dominic, M.A., L.L.B. -Looking at the house,

it hardly seems like anyone lives there.

I decided to search the entire house.

Suddenly, shockingly,

he appeared before me like a wild animal.

The cruel look in his eyes

didn't scare me one bit.

The next episode of my eventful service story,

unfolds in the next episode.

[mysterious music]

Sir... um...

[mobile phone ringing]

Sir, I'm Vicky.

Sorry, Vignesh.

I saw the ad.

[cat purring]

[notification alert tone]

[phone ringing]

Yes, Swami.

Soman Pillai. Soman Pillai!

Granite business.

Yes, yes, he's the one.

Ah! Okay, okay.

So...

You're selected.

Huh?

I...

Welcome to Dominic Detective Agency.

Get ready for your first case with us!

Thank you, sir.

Wow!

[music intensifying]

Okay, come on.

Dominic, is that you?

Mrs Madhuri!

I've an important case today. I’ll see you at lunch.

Two idlis and a coffee for me. What about you?

One masala dosa for me.

Sir... So,

how did you select me without asking a single question?

[suspenseful music]

[notification sound]

The dark circles around your eyes tell me that you sleep very little at night.

That's the first quality this job requires.

Also, this New Years,

you went on a foreign trip.

Your tattoo is in Portuguese language.

There’s an Emirates sticker on your bag.

So, it should be Portugal

or Brazil where you went.

But your hands are tanned.

So, it's a hot place.

Not Portugal… it's Brazil only!

Also, your outfits and the gadgets you use,

all are branded.

So, you're filthy rich.

All this means you won’t expect a big salary.

Also, I noticed the notification on your phone

about the second show movie.

‘Murder in Boston’. That's an investigation thriller.

That shows your interest in the subject.

Also, I’ve seen the movie.

I figured out the twist by the interval.

The hero's brother is the killer.

And finally you have a bike.

I saw your bike's key chain.

The car I was using...

belongs to my house owner.

I had an accident and it's in the workshop now.

So, your bike will be very useful now.

You are exactly the kind of assistant I need.

That's why you're selected, okay?

Thank you, sir.

Dad said to earn some pocket money before heading to Canada.

He has only one demand.

I should be back home by 7.

I have always been a fan of detective movies and series.

That's when I saw your poster on the road.

I didn't think twice.

I came straight to you.

Pay for this, I didn't bring my purse.

Sir.

Actually I got that tattoo from Goa, not Brazil.

And that Emirates tag,

is from when I went to Dubai with my uncle, Sunil.

With deductions, there’s always a 20% chance of error.

Oh...

[motorcycle engine revving]

Sir, which case are we investigating today?

Soman Pillai murder case.

Is Soman Pillai the serial killer on your board?

Did he kill all those women?

No, no.

That's not Soman Pillai.

That's a strange case of

a marriage investigation.

Bridegroom check.

Those women in the photos were his girlfriends.

He was dating them at the same time.

-Then what happened? -What else?

I made sure that wedding didn’t happen. Let's go.

[motorcycle drives away]

Stop here.

Yes. Tell me, Swami.

Yeah.

Sir...

Alright.

Soman Pillai.

Eh? Who?

Um... who's it, sir?

Soman Pillai. Soman Pillai.

Didn't you say someone killed him?

He might be killed today...

Who's gonna kill him?

Mallika. Mallika.

Who's Mallika?

-Come, come. -Eh? Okay!

Sir, are you with the Police?

I saw a photo at your house.

I was…

But I resigned.

What happened?

Have you seen the movie, Commissioner?

Commissioner. Commissioner.

Uhm... you mean Bharat Chandran IPS?

Yes. I was like that.

C.I. Dominic.

I never took a bribe.

If I heard of favours or influence, I saw red.

Which is why,

in my 15 years of service,

I was handed out many transfers and memos.

Long back, while in charge here at Kochi, I cleaned out this city.

Maradu Suni,

Gunda Shaji, Padaveedan...

I put all of them behind bars!

And then?

And then that's it.

Straightforward officers like me are not meant for that job.

So, I resigned.

The signal is on, don’t lose him.

Over there.

Sir, may I help you?

Um...

Dustbin, dustbin.

Sir, which one?

Hm...

Green. Green, green.

Sir, these are all red. We don't have green.

Why does the colour matter? You just do your job.

[phone ringing]

-Sir. -Be ready.

Victim coming out.

I'm waiting, sir.

Keep going.

Let's park here.

Sir, 104.

I can't say for sure if he has any weapons on him upstairs.

If you don't see me within 15 minutes,

go straight to North Police Station

and tell Constable Sudhakaran sir, “Code Red”.

-Okay? -Code Red.

Also, if you see anyone suspicious, let me know immediately.

Sir, how will I identify a suspicious person?

Do I look suspicious to you?!

No, no!

-No? -Nope.

Okay.

104, Mr and Mrs Soman Pillai.

Cleaning happening at 103.

Sir, give us ten minutes.

Rita...

I have to tell you this...

you're so beautiful.

Room service.

Huh? Who's that?

Somu, you were late, so I got bored and ordered a juice.

One minute.

Who's it?

Hey! What the hell are you doing?!

-Hey Somu! -Don't take a photo!

-What are you doing? -Somu, ask him to stop!

Hey, please, please! What are you doing?

Mm… Too shy to ask for it and buy it from the medical store, huh?

Naughty boy!

You must have bought groceries for at least 6000 rupees

just to hide this.

How dare you barge into the room when I'm here with my wife?

Who are you?

-Wife? -Yes, my own wife.

Oh! It’s Mallika, is it?

I didn’t recognise you.

You look so different.

You’ve become taller and slimmer.

Looking neat and trim!

You know Mallika? Who are you?!

Me? I’m a detective, sir.

Dominic.

Sir, your wife,

Mallika has hired me to investigate your hanky-panky.

Thank God, now I’ve solved the case.

And my fee is just 10000 rupees.

Sir, in future, if you have any suspicions about Mallika,

hand the case over to me.

I will give you 15% discount!

But this discount is not applicable during December and January.

Peak season, too many cases.

Keep this.

Alright, then.

Sir...

Do... Dom... Dominic sir?

Did you call me?

Sir...

Please help me out this one time, sir.

Not for free, sir!

I'll give you 10 grand!

10000 rupees.

15000?

20000?

-25000? -Somu...

Sir...

If I take a bribe from you and betray Mallika,

how am I any different from you?

Sir, I've never betrayed Mallika before. This is the first time I’ve made a mistake!

-Please! -Wow, you are so convincing!

Sir, I saw you at Lucky Star hotel.

I almost caught you but you slipped through my fingers.

-You were there too? -Of course!

But that day, it wasn’t this lady. It was another lady...

Somu... were you cheating me?

No, never! It's true, I did cheat Mallika.

-But Rita, never did I-- -Get lost!

-Please trust me. -Leave me!

And the award goes to...

Madam Rita!

Such outstanding acting!

Are you out on bail now

or are you on the run?

What nonsense!

Nonsense, it seems, sir! Let me show you real nonsense.

-It’s gotta be around here somewhere. -What's he saying?

-I don't know. -Sir!

Sir, you're gonna be trapped, sir!

Ah! The camera is hidden in the bag.

Why are you taking my bag?!

Hang on!

Ah, see...

Oh, no!

Hidden camera!

Sir, go home with whatever little dignity you have left.

If you don’t pay her whatever she asks, tomorrow you’ll see this on Telegram.

"Mallu uncle goes wild!”

You!

You were cheating me with a hidden camera, huh?

-Well, I need to live too. -Like this? By killing me?!

Sir, sir... Dominic sir!

How much do you want, sir?

-50000. -That’s too much, sir.

No less than 50,000 rupees. Take it or leave it.

-Sir, just give me the 50000. -How about 40000?

50000.

[upbeat music]

What happened, sir?

For the time being, Mallika won't kill Soman Pillai.

Case closed.

Okay, sir.

All that's fine.

But what will you tell Mallika?

Oh, dear, Swami!

Don't you get it yet?

I don’t even know who this Mallika is!

-Eh? -I'll call you later, later.

Okay, okay.

What's this?

These are some good pesticide-free groceries and provisions.

I didn't care about the prices.

I eat so much food from here, so it’s only fair I make a contribution.

Mm-hmm... Thank you.

By the way...

why did you call me in the morning?

To go to the hospital.

But where, you are too busy for me!

Oh, for that...

Can you take a look at this tap?

It's leaking.

Mrs Madhuri.

Why can't you call a plumber for that?

If I was in service, I’d be DySP now.

Just because the rent's a little late, you can’t make me do housework!

Even if you don't pay the rent,

at least keep the house clean.

That’s the ambience we detectives thrive in.

Ambience, it seems!

[phone ringing]

Did you get it?

No? Is today also a holiday?

Argh!

Dominic.

I found a purse at the hospital today.

Can you find out who it belongs to?

Find the owner of a purse?

Please...

Mrs Madhuri, I don't investigate such silly cases.

Wasn't your last case

a potential groom who was duping several girls?

That’s because no one is giving me a murder or man-missing case.

Of course, that’s what I want to investigate!

[news flash]

Arrest made after 24 hours in Edappon murder case.

The police have taken Arya's husband into custody

following her brutal murder at their residence yesterday.

Sudheesh is here with the latest updates.

Kerala is witness to this shocking turn of events.

The murder victim is the famous serial actress, Arya.

I came here because Madam asked me to.

The door was open when I arrived.

When I went inside, I saw Madam in a burnt state.

-Her husband was in the room. -What all news!

He was rambling nonsense.

They should hang him.

-He's not the culprit. -Then I stepped out...

told everyone and brought them in.

It's someone the woman knows personally

and is close to.

-It could be a friend -Madam called me and said...

-or a secret lover. -she can't stay here anymore.

Sir already has a case...

How do you know?

Wait and see.

-Sir? -Yes.

There you are!

This is the new Watson.

-Hi, ma'am. -House owner, Mrs Madhuri.

Hello.

[phone ringing]

Sorry, sir.

At least make sure this guy gets his salary on time.

Okay?

Sir, I need a half-day’s leave.

Huh!

Your first day isn’t over and you already want leave?

There’s a birthday party.

My friends are coming.

Party means...

Is it only food or…?

Can I also come?

[autorickshaw comes to halt]

I just joined today.

Oh, sir!

Hi sir!

[song begins]

So glad, sir! I didn't think you'd come!

Vicky!

Happy Birthday to you!

Happy birthday!

-Is it your birthday? -Yes, sir.

-Happy Birthday! -Thank you, sir.

Happy Birthday!

We’ll sway to the rhythm of The youth’s anthem

With endless dreams, Our spirits untamed like a wild horse

Flaws and all, we stride forward With unwavering grace

This band of mischief marches in

No doubt holding us back

A life untamed is just pure bliss

Dare to challenge me if you can

Smash through every rulebook To get to me

I’m the king of my town

Ruling with rum and Coca Cola in hand

Life’s a blessing

A relentless addiction to passion

My heart is eager to rise and soar

Let a new dawn break

Life’s a blessing

A relentless addiction to passion

My heart is eager to rise and soar

Let a new dawn break

Step up to this fiery arena

A battlefield Where struggles never cease

The world spins on, Like an endless wheel

Half in laughter, half soaked in pain

The city casts its nets around, Slip through without being caught

The darkness weaves its tales aloud, And you, the witness, must seek

Life is a daring adventure

With a thousand paths to truth and lies

A maze of questions lies ahead

Answers await your solitary quest

This is the anthem of a bold new generation

Step by step, We rise, staking our claim

Destiny's reins are now in our hands

A brand-new saga unfolds today

No turning back, we charge ahead

Together, we roar like a storm's thunder and rain

Unbound by directions, North, east, or west

This is just the beginning, our genesis

Sir?

Come on, sing the rest...

Step up to this fiery arena

A battlefield Where struggles never cease

The world spins on, Like an endless wheel

Half in laughter, half soaked in pain

The city casts its nets around, Slip through without being caught

The darkness weaves its tales aloud, And you, the witness, must seek

Life is a daring adventure

With a thousand paths to truth and lies

A maze of questions lies ahead

Answers await your solitary quest

You call me lazy! No!

I'm the shady!

You call me nosy! Well!

That's me, homie!

You call me lazy! No!

I'm the shady!

You call me nosy! Well!

That's me, homie!

You call me crazy! But

I'm your P.E.

You call me crazy! But

I'm your P.E.

You call me crazy! But

I'm your P.E.

You call me crazy! But

I'm your P.E.

You call me lazy! No!

I'm the shady!

A new twist in the Edappon murder case.

The killer turns out to be the woman's male friend.

Reports suggest he has confessed to the crime.

Police say that the woman's husband in custody is innocent.

At the start of the investigation,

Dear God...

we suspected the husband.

But as the investigation continued...

Oh, wow...

we discovered she had a lover.

His name is Kamal...

Not bad, Dominic.

No observation! No concentration!

Silly fellows!

There's not one good guy in the force now.

Mrs Madhuri.

Years ago, many years ago, about 10-15 years,

there was a murder like this in Kattappana.

I solved it even before the dog squad showed up.

Kamal, the accused, had been friends with Arya for the last three years.

Kamal works in the film and serial industry.

The police believe Arya and Kamal became friends on the shooting sets.

Listen, Dominic.

If you're so smart,

can you find the owner of this purse?

You still haven’t let this go?

No.

Didn't I tell you?

I found this at the hospital 4-5 days ago.

Inside, there was some cash and a chain.

But there was no address or details of the owner.

First, I went to the hospital reception.

They made a few announcements, but no one showed up.

I also went to the nearby police station, like they suggested.

-My dear aunty? -Yes?

These guys don’t even have time to investigate murder cases.

Let alone this purse without an address.

Fine. Let's go back.

Why don’t you donate that money and chain to some temple or church?

You'll be blessed.

Because I got this from the hospital,

I feel it belongs to some poor person.

Would it be possible for you to return this to its owner?

I can, in no time.

But I won't.

Say I find the owner and return it,

what’s the guarantee I’ll get my fee?

Dominic takes no cases where there’s no money.

That's my way!

So, I'm out!

How many months of rent do you still owe me?

You know, money...

Um... I think it's 2 months, right?

Including this month, it's 4 months.

I'll pay the rent. I'm not going anywhere.

Actually, you can go anywhere you want.

Nothing doing...

I won't leave this house until I settle the full rent.

That's for sure.

If you find the owner of this purse,

you don't have to pay me that rent.

-For real? -Absolutely.

-That's good. -Yeah...

So, Mrs Madhuri, do one thing.

With both your hands, hand over the purse.

This is my first case this month.

Please give it.

Dominic, for God's sake, don't flick the cash from that purse, alright?

Mrs Madhuri, don't plant ideas in my head!

[knuckles cracking]

[ominous music]

Password protected.

Hi, sir.

Good morning, sir.

Sir, where are Mrs Madhuri’s children?

She's got only one son, Vivek.

He went missing around 20 years ago when the ship he was on sank.

She's still waiting for him to come back.

Poor soul.

No way he’s coming back.

Sir, this is an HDBI bank account document.

No name or details.

But the loan number is there.

I have an old friend, a bank manager.

He often complains that I never call him.

What's going on here?

So many months' dues are pending now!

Is nobody here following up on these?

I want the complete report before 4 pm today.

[notification sound]

I'll deliver it within half an hour, sir.

God, where's that file?!

I'll deliver it within half an hour, sir.

Will give you the report right away.

It's okay. No problem.

Take your time.

-Tomorrow afternoon is also fine. -Okay sir.

Hello Mr Zachariah.

How are you?

What can I do for you?

[phone ringing]

Yes, Mr Zachariah. Tell me.

Yes, Dominic sir.

That loan account belongs to one Pooja Ravindran.

I've sent you the account details and address via WhatsApp.

Okay. Thank you.

Appreciate it.

See you soon!

Is that really necessary?

-Sir, where are we going today? -Kakkanad.

Okay.

Where did you get this from?

This is Pooja’s purse.

Please call Pooja then. I shall give it to her right away.

Since there wasn’t an address, it was really tough.

Usually we charge for such services. But this time it's free.

Here's our card.

Dominic Detectives.

We're quite famous in Kadavanthra area.

Pooja... She's not here.

Not here? If she's at her office, we shall go there then.

No, she is missing.

Missing since four days.

She left on 10th morning and hasn't returned since.

Pooja's mom came down from Palakkad.

And she filed a police complaint on the same day.

-What's your name? -My name is Jhansi.

The three of us stay here.

Me, Pooja and Ramya.

Was Pooja in a relationship with anybody?

Maybe she’s gone away with him.

She was in a serious relationship until two years ago.

But they broke up.

After that...

Well, not a relationship,

but there was a stalker.

Alby.

He used to follow and pester her.

He backed off only after she filed a police complaint.

-May I? -Yes.

Actually, sir, Alby had come here last week.

He was drunk.

He threatened to kill Pooja, made a scene and left.

-May I take some pictures, please? -Yes, sir.

-Is her hair short now? -Yes.

Thank you.

Did you notice anything peculiar about Pooja the day before she went missing?

The day before she went missing,

she was very restless.

She told us that she was going somewhere to meet her ex-boyfriend.

I guess it's been two years since they last met.

Do you know anything about him? Maybe his name, address?

His name is Karthik.

The address he gave her was fake.

I know this because

she had once gone to enquire about him two years ago.

But it wasn't his place at all.

'Palarivattom Police Station'

Sir, why didn’t you go in?

The cops won’t tell the truth if we ask.

Hey.

The police haven't got any leads.

All they know is that

Pooja's last cell tower location was near General Hospital.

Okay. Thank you.

Thank you, sir.

Hello. Any updates?

-Case over. -Wow!

We got the full details of the purse owner.

Pooja Ravindran, 25 years old, 5'5'' height, birth star is Aswathy,

Dad's name is Ravindran, was a manager at SBI, he's no more.

-Mutton, huh? -Yeah.

-Tell me the rest. -Yes. Mom's name is Sethulakshmi.

Pooja is their only daughter. She works at SI Logistics.

Her monthly salary is 60,000 rupees.

Favourite colour, black.

Favourite perfume...

Bare Vanilla by Victoria's Secret.

Sir, it was Bombshell by Victoria's Secret.

Bombshell it is, then.

What a smarty you are!

But there's a small problem.

Huh? What problem?

It's a very small problem.

Pooja’s been missing since the last four days.

She went missing the same day you found that bag.

Oh, no!

It's okay, the police are looking for her.

Don't lose heart, Mrs Madhuri.

-Do you eat mutton? -Yes, I do.

Sir.

What is this?

It's a movie script.

I wrote it for director Jeethu Joseph.

It's a service story of mine.

Does it have any twists?

Yeah, in the climax. A small one.

Keep it aside.

Watch the film in theatres.

[dog barking]

Bro! How come you're here?

Come. Come on in.

Come. Go inside.

Sudhir.

We had gone to your previous address.

Then we got to know that you moved here.

I got a flat with better facilities here.

So I shifted.

The house owner told me that

you were evicted because you didn't pay the rent.

We are moving to Dubai.

Sudhir's business is based there.

TIA Group of Companies.

It's a leading business in Dubai.

So...

Sudhir was always uncomfortable around dogs.

We thought we'd put him in a dog rescue shelter.

But then...

Good you didn't do that.

I'll have some company.

You are still alone, isn't it?

[emotional music]

Also, about the money you had to pay me,

I'll present your cheque next week.

It's not because I need that money.

I’m adamant, that’s all.

Let's go.

TIA Group of Companies.

Last year, you invested crores in a company called Shell Energies.

When that company went bankrupt,

you now have a debt of 25 million dirhams.

Bad debt.

On top of that,

the case filed by Nitin Rawat, your business partner.

It's okay. Lakshmi is waiting downstairs.

Don't let her know about this.

Isn't your court hearing scheduled for next Wednesday?

All the best.

[whirring of an old table fan]

Lakshmi.

My wife.

Well, ex-wife.

[sound of rain falling]

Can you find Pooja?

[intense music]

I really don't understand.

Why are you so emotional about this case?

If not me, who else will feel emotional about this case?

You know, right?

I've been waiting for Vivek to come back for the last 25 years.

Likewise a mother is waiting for that girl.

So, please take up this case--

Please don't bring sentiments into this, Mrs Madhuri.

Another person just unloaded a truckload of sentiments on me.

I didn’t need that, I don’t need this.

I won't take up this case. At any cost.

I don't want to.

See...

The moment I found the owner of the missing purse,

our deal was over.

Absolutely.

Now this missing person.

Suppose I search and somehow find this Pooja Ravindran.

What if she asks me,

"Bro, I'm well and alive here,

why did you have to find me,

don't you have anything better to do?"

Who will pay my fees?

Ugh, seriously?

And it's too simple a case for me.

Dominic.

Apart from the rent, do you know how much you owe me?

Must be around 4000-5000.

Add another zero.

And then, you crashed my car, and the workshop expenses, whatever.

It's fifty thousand rupees.

My dear Aunty!

Did I crash your car intentionally?

The traffic lights aren't working like before.

Red, green and yellow...

They don't show up properly. It's all messed up.

It shows yellow instead of green, blue instead of yellow...

And anyway,

you are all about accounts with me these days!

If you find Pooja, you don't have to pay me back any of that money.

Hm?

[thundering]

Oh, Alby?

He lives near Maradu market, Dominic sir.

He's a bit of a nutcase.

What’ve you got to do with him, sir?

Hey.

Do you know an Alby who lives nearby?

They said his house is nearby.

Turn right and the second house.

My dear sir, I'm so done with that loser.

I'm so fed up of going to the police station.

A few days ago, he came here at midnight.

He was so unhinged, he took a bag and left.

I haven't seen him ever since.

He left with my chit fund money, sir.

That good-for-nothing moron!

If you see him, please beat him up and get me my money back, sir.

Do you have Alby's photo?

Search for 'Alby Freaks' on Instagram, sir.

Hello.

Do you know a Josy here?

One who was big time in some immoral activities.

-Oyo Josy? -Yeah. Where can I find him?

All he does is keep that useless bike between his legs,

and post reels all the time, sir.

That grown up hulk!

Make the dosa small, okay?

You're gonna waste a lot of batter!

I'm a fool to hire folks like him!

Huh? Who is this? Dominic sir?

Last I saw you was before Covid time.

You look dashing even without the uniform, sir!

So, what's up? What brings you here now?

I came here to see you only, Josy.

Don't you know him? Alby.

Just need to know where he is now,

wanna talk a bit and leave.

That's it. We don't have time.

Alby?

I don't know him!

You don't?

Tell me!

-Hey, Alby. -Yes.

Where are you?

I'm at the market.

They went home looking for you!

They went home?

Not sure if it's the police or that girl's folks.

What does he look like?

Looks like…

I know what he looks like!

Go get him!

Get him, I said!

Close the shutters!

Let go of me! She's my bestie, you fatso!

He doesn't understand!

[auto engine rumbling]

-Oh, it's you, sir! -Hop on!

Guys, come to the road behind the market. Hurry up!

They're creating a scene inside the market!

Call our union brothers too!

Turn! Turn! I'm so dead!

Slowly, sir!

-Hey, Alby! -Guys!

They’ve come here to get me!

Hurry up! Come here!

Tell them that I didn't do anything.

Come on! Hurry up!

Don't create a scene, just leave, sir!

Alby, all I want is to talk to you.

I haven't done anything wrong, sir.

It was her...

Then why did you run when you saw me?

Why are you even talking to him?

One punch is all it’ll take.

You get going.

No need to kill him, right?

Just scare him up a bit.

[fight begins]

[scream followed by a heavy thud]

Alby...

When did you meet her last?

Sir...

Alby, don’t make it difficult. I just need some information.

You dare come to my market and...

Didn't I tell you that I didn't do anything?

Where is Pooja?

Pooja. Pooja Ravindran.

Are you asking about Pooja from Infopark, sir?

Yes.

It's been ages since I left her, sir!

-You think I can pursue her forever? -That’s my sir you are holding!

Now it's Ann Maria. Even her mother is cool with me.

[loud clang]

[thud]

What the hell did you do?

To save you, sir…

Sir...

I guess they didn't recognize you.

Shall I tell them?

It's my first time in the lock-up, sir.

It's okay. You'll get used to it.

If my dad gets to know...

Dominic sir!

[playful music]

Haven't seen you in ages, sir!

Don't you recognise me?

Listen...

Sabu!

You've beaten me up several times in this lock-up!

In that corner!

-Oh, yes! 'Candy' Sabu! -Exactly!

It's been long since I saw you!

I beat you up to make you a better person, okay?

I became a better person, sir!

-So, my punches didn't go waste? -No!

So what are you doing here?

You know, right?

They sometimes call me, charge me with something and let me go.

Sir...

-I... I... -Don’t get all worked up, Vicky.

Such things are normal during an investigation.

I'm with you, right? Be bold.

Arun sir brought him in, sir.

It’s a female matter. He was trapped.

Hey.

What's the problem, bro?

Is it a love story?

[jeep comes to a halt]

-Sir... sir... -I'll call him.

Padmanabhan.

[cell door opens]

Abraham. Come out.

Hey.

Non-cognizable.

Non-cognizable.

Walk.

Hey. Do you know why we brought you here?

Yes, sir.

I've been charged with IPC section 323.

Right?

But it's a non-cognizable offence.

Do you have the magistrate's special order, sir?

Not just that.

I should've received a notice as per section 41A.

I haven't received it yet.

If this news gets out,

you'll have to go back to Peerumedu station.

You struggled a lot to get posted here, right?

YOU!

Don't you try to act smart in the police station, okay?

Padmanabhan!

Did he have a phone with him?

No, sir. It was confiscated.

Release him.

You may go now.

Thank you... sir.

Phone.

Vicky, there's no point going after Alby.

-Oh... -Arun sir!

So you were inside, huh?

Let me see how you state law points to escape from this case.

It's IPC 307. Attempt to murder.

The guy is in the hospital.

Listen, boy.

Are you with him?

Yeah.

Do you have any idea who he is?

When he was in service,

he wouldn't lift a finger without a bribe.

Eventually, he lost his job over a fake certificate.

Don't mess up your future by hanging around him.

Save yourself and go home.

Got it?

Hey.

Go to the hospital and record Alby's testimony correctly.

You helped the other guy escape by teaching him law, right?

Let's teach you some law now.

Come. Hurry up.

Come.

[door creaks open]

Dominic sir, you may go.

-What about me? -Yes, you too.

She said she has no complaints.

-Come on, Dominic. Let's go. -Sir, our phones. There were two.

Sir, it’ll be nice if I can have my ID card back.

Where's it?

Sir, this card is his trump card!

If I ever get to know that you used this CI Dominic card anywhere...

Whether I wear the police uniform or not, I am CI Dominic.

Neither you nor anybody else can change that.

Because, I am Inashu Dominic, son of Charles.

C.I. Dominic.

Change that if you can!

Come.

[uplifting music]

[water splashing]

Dad...

I was trying to call you.

The call wasn't going through.

I am at a friend's place.

I got late.

I'll be there by morning.

Okay, Dad. Bye.

The day before she went missing, she was very restless.

She told us that she was going somewhere to meet her ex-boyfriend.

After the break-up, Pooja was never as happy as before.

In a similar case before,

I cracked a password.

The Cyber Cell folks tried for three days, but they couldn't.

At last, the SP called me, and--

Stop telling us stories like as though you developed a software for NASA!

Try and crack this.

[keyboard clacking]

[notification tone]

Sir, why don't you try 'Vappachi's Legacy'?

Well, just in case...

This seems a bit tough.

Shall I give it a try?

Sure. Why not?

Okay.

Dammit!

Okay.

Yes! Got it!

-Yes! It's done. -What password did you try?

Pooja

1-2-3.

Simple.

Sir!

Pooja used this memory card around two years ago.

But there are no photos of Karthik whom Pooja was dating at that time.

Maybe, Pooja didn't want to retain any memories of that relationship.

Or else, she didn't want the outside world to know anything about him.

-I don't wanna be in the video! -Let them all see it!

My busy boyfriend, who never answers my calls!

Give me, let me shoot now!

Stop it, Karthik!

Why did you want to see me?

-That too, here? -I wanna talk to you.

Such a nice place.

How did you guess?

You still shooting or what?

-Let them all see it! -I don't wanna be in the video!

My busy boyfriend, who never answers my calls!

Give me, let me shoot now!

People are voicing concerns about the decline in reading habits.

Let them all see it!

The Moolakada Panchayat library was inaugurated by Chokkanad Gopi.

Moolakada Panchayat.

Where's that place?

This must be in and around Munnar.

Now, the date.

Mrs Madhuri?

-Do you have a Facebook account? -I do.

I guess your password is Madhuri123.

You wish! Of course not!

Nobody can guess my password.

Challenge? I'll crack your password.

Okay. It's a challenge!

Challenge!

Chokkanad Gopi.

Oh, you found it.

His whole biography is here.

Library inauguration.

Yes!

2021, December 31st.

Sorry.

I'm calling this late.

No problem, sir. I was working anyway.

I would like to know some more things about Pooja and Karthik.

Pooja was on leave that day, sir.

She had told us that she's going on a trip that New Year.

They broke up after that trip.

Did she ever mention the reason for their break-up?

We had just started staying together.

Plus, she wasn't interested in talking about that.

Besides, Pooja was quite gloomy.

Do you remember them ever fighting for any reason?

Fight...

Once Pooja found an expensive

saree with Karthik.

Pooja doesn't wear sarees, so...

When Pooja asked who it was for, Karthik blabbered something.

And Pooja was very upset.

Okay. Thanks.

So...

on Wednesday morning, January 10th, Pooja left home

to meet her ex-boyfriend,

whom she broke up with two years ago, hasn't been in touch with since.

And she went missing.

So, he is the key player here.

We need to find him first.

All roads lead to Munnar, my boy!

[tires screeching]

[car honking]

[classical music]

Sir, it's the same wallpaper.

[fingers tapping on surface]

Hello.

CI Dominic.

I’m here regarding a murder investigation.

I need to see all the rooms upstairs.

Sir, before that...

The room shown in this video is from here, right?

-Yes, sir. -What's the room number?

Sir, uh...

It is on the first floor...

Room number...

Sir, all balcony rooms look pretty much the same.

December 31st, 2021.

We need to check all the CCTV footage from that date,

two years ago.

Sir, it won't be possible to get anything from two years back.

Are you sure?

If you're just making excuses to save yourself,

I'll be back with a warrant.

No, sir! That's the truth.

We might have up to 6 months back.

Post that, it gets automatically deleted.

We want to see the rooms with a balcony.

Sir, all the rooms are occupied.

We'll handle that.

And by the time, we're back,

I need all the details including names

and addresses of all the guests who checked in

on December 31st, 2021.

We're looking for a Karthik and Pooja Ravindran.

Hope you've got all the records.

Or do they get automatically deleted

every 6 months too?

[doorbell ringing]

Why pick a room here of all places!

I told you we should've gone elsewhere!

Why are you letting them inside? What's wrong with you?

I didn't call them! They're cops, they wanna check something.

Make sure your clothes are proper.

Sir, this is the last room.

Go inside the bathroom.

Just be quiet, will you?

[ominous music]

Sir, this is the room.

TV is placed here.

And the balcony.

Pooja and Karthik were here, sir.

That's what I feel.

Hmm...

What could've happened here?

It’s Pooja’s address that’s here.

I was hoping it would be

Karthik's address.

What's this?

That’s how each customer makes the payment.

Few people pay through some website.

Some directly pay cash

and others directly put it into the owner’s account.

Got it.

-31st December. -Yes.

Sir, will this get me in trouble? I only started this hotel 2 years ago.

There won't be any problem.

Sir, here's the bank transaction reference number.

Oh, okay.

My dearest friend is a bank manager.

Zachariah... Zachariah..

He's always complaining that I don't call him.

Hello Zac!

Sir, we've got Karthik's home address.

Prakash Associates...

We've got the office address too! It's in Kochi.

[footsteps approaching]

[taps on window]

[creaking sound of gate closing]

Brother, over here, this is what I was talking about.

[car door slams shut]

Sir...

Let's go?

No need.

I'll go check.

-You wait here. -Okay.

Isn’t this Karthik’s house?

Is Karthik here?

I need to see him about something.

Are you his friend?

Not his friend. I'm CI Dominic.

I’ve come from Kochi regarding a missing person case.

I wanted to know some details from Karthik.

If he isn’t here, just give me his mobile number.

I'll call him.

Hm... sure.

Come in, sir.

I'm Nandita.

Karthik is my brother.

Karthik?

My brother has been missing for 2 years.

To be exact,

since 31st December 2021.

[intense music]

Is this Karthik?

Mm-hmm.

That was the last photo we took...

in that December.

Sir, you mentioned a missing case, right?

Yes, Pooja.

Pooja Ravindran.

Are you here to enquire about Pooja?

Mm-hmm.

What's that case got to do with my brother?

Almost two years ago...

That is...

around the time Karthik went missing.

He was in a relationship with Pooja.

But...

with regards to this case,

that's not what brought me here.

On the morning of January 9th, Pooja leaves her house.

To see Karthik.

And she is missing since then.

Hm...

So, does this Pooja know where Karthik is?

Maybe.

But we don't know where Pooja is.

-Hmm... -You know Pooja, right?

Huh? No.

Has Karthik never told you?

He’s never mentioned her name.

He once said he was in a relationship, that’s all.

I was in Calcutta then.

For a dance training.

When I asked him who it was,

he said it’s a surprise and he'd introduce her to me in person.

It has been two years now.

I haven't seen or spoken to Karthik.

There's no information about him.

I have no idea what happened to him.

Did you two have any disagreements?

Any difference of opinion?

No, nothing like that.

We were...

We were always like friends.

He was full of surprises.

He’d go on trips without telling me.

I wouldn’t hear from him for 3-4 days.

Then, one day he'd just show up in front of me.

At first, I was hopeful.

I thought he’d be back today, tomorrow…

But now...

This will be one more of your brother’s surprises.

He'll be back.

-May I? -Yes.

[phone camera click]

You said you last saw him on December 31st, right?

You did see him, didn’t you?

Or did you just talk on the phone?

Um... right here, itself...

Exactly where you're standing.

Uh... Karthik had to meet somebody.

He told me he had something important to say when he got back.

After that, Karthik never returned.

Did he tell you who he was going to meet?

Hmm... no.

He didn't.

What time on December 31st?

Do you remember?

Uh... It was...

Is it important?

Every minute of December 31st

maybe important.

Um...

I think it was around 11 or 11.30.

Karthik checks into Valley View Hotel with Pooja at 12.30.

And they checked out at 5 pm.

After that, Karthik never came back here, right?

Can I have your telephone number?

And Karthik's.

Karthik, right?

Until 2-3 years ago,

I’ve seen him walking by.

But he never mingled much with anyone,

so we didn’t know him well and we never paid much attention either.

He has a sister.

She's a dancer.

We kinda know her.

That property belonged to their father.

No one used to come here before.

It was after his father died,

that Karthik moved here.

And after he went missing,

Nandita moved here.

She searched a lot for him.

But, alas...

Poor thing.

What could she possibly do on her own?

The neighbours have nothing unusual to say.

He didn’t interact much with them.

Also, they never saw any visitors either.

He was generally an introvert.

I haven’t met any of his close friends either.

At which station did you file the missing case?

Munnar Town Police station.

How about we go there?

[car honking]

Did Karthik ever gift you a saree, Nandita?

-Hm? -No.

My dear, if you keep coming and enquiring,

it doesn't mean your brother will just turn up.

We are still searching.

Even yesterday, we got a small information.

-Isn't that right? -Yes, sir.

See!

We’ll find him soon.

Now you go, dear. Okay?

What was that information?

Who are you?

I'm a family friend.

-What's your name? -Dominic.

So, what was that information?

Are you a lawyer?

No.

Policeman.

-Oh... -Rather, I was...

I’m voluntarily retired now.

Oh, so you know how things are.

Leave your name and details before you go.

Will let you know if we get any information, okay.

That girl just keeps getting more and more beautiful.

Yes, yes, sir.

When you said CI Dominic, I thought you're a police officer.

I wasn't lying.

My name is actually C.I. Dominic.

Charles Inashu Dominic.

If you're retired,

why are you handling this missing case?

After that, I started an office in Ernakulam.

A private detective agency.

Actually, I'm hired to find Pooja.

Oh...

So, are you returning today?

Have to leave immediately. Quite a few pending cases…

Oh, okay. I’ve got to go too. My dance program got rescheduled.

Dance program?

Yes.

Dance is my weakness...

Do you dance, Mr Dominic?

No, I don't dance but I love watching it.

I'll also come.

-Sir... -You said you were busy?

I'm busy but I can still come.

Anything about Karthik?

We'll see... You get in.

[car driving away]

[peppy music]

[gate creaks shut]

Sir.

Sir, this program...

I love dancing.

It’s not that kind of dancing.

This is Bharatanatyam, classical dance.

I like all kinds of dance, sir.

And dancers too!

Riya missing case...

-There's a new missing case. -Yes, sir.

You must return to Kochi immediately and start investigating this case.

And find Riya as soon as possible and bring her back to her family.

Yes, sir.

I've sent her address and photo on WhatsApp.

Okay, sir.

Sir, how old is Riya?

Around one, one and half years old.

One and half years old?!

This girl?

The dog!

Sir!

[song begins]

On this sacred full moon night of the holy month

On this sacred full moon night of the holy month

O maidens adorned with sparkling jewels, Come, let us bathe!

We are the beloved daughters of this flourishing cowherd hamlet

Guided by the son of Nandagopan, Vigilant protector of cattle with his mighty spear

The lion-hearted child of the quiet abyss-eyed Yashoda

Narayana's eyes deep as storm-laden clouds, Face radiant as the luminous moon

It is he, Narayana, who shall grace us with his divine blessings

Come, let us unite To sing his eternal glory to the world

It is he, Narayana, who shall grace us with his divine blessings

Come, let us unite To sing his eternal glory to the world

Does the cloudy sky pour its endless rain?

Drenching even the soul in its tender embrace?

Does fleeting lightning graze us softly?

Whispering a tale anew, Or merely a passing lie?

Is this a sorrow that numbs the spirit?

Or a breeze that stirs a quiet longing?

Is it the echo of a song, Etched in eternity?

Do the glimmering eyes quiver in doubt?

Does the breath falter?

Does the rhythm stumble?

As though the earth beneath has vanished into nothingness?

Nandita, are you okay?

Yeah, yeah. I'm okay.

Do you have any more programs coming up?

Not around here anytime soon.

This itself was because it’s a fundraiser.

I've some shows in Trivandrum and Kochi.

Uh, there's something coming up in the next few days.

But it's the same show as today.

[honking]

[bike revving]

[bike skidding to a stop]

[motorcycle revving loudly]

Do you know him?

That's John.

I owe him some cash.

I'll talk to him.

He doesn't want cash now.

He wants her.

Is that so.

-It’s okay, you don’t have to. -Can’t let him be like that.

[car door slams shut]

What's up, sir? Bike broke down?

Should I push?

Get off and push, man!

Who are you?

I'm their driver.

They're two women, sir.

Moreover, it's night time.

She'll pay the cash.

Or I will! Guaranteed!

Oh! Don't bother.

It's better for us if she doesn't pay.

Hold on!

[tense music]

Fine, give it.

Eighteen lakh seventy-six thousand rupees.

Whoa!

This is 3 or 4 times my debts!

I take back my word.

Anyway, people who know me say I’m not a man of my word.

Well then, you handle my bike.

Let me go

and handle that girl.

Listen, I don't have an issue.

But that girl should allow it, right?

Her friend is there too.

And this fellow is here as well!

How old are you?

Around 50?

Oh, you figured it out?!

What? You wanna handle me?

Give it a try!

Hit him!

No, no, don't get out!

-Are you okay? -This is no big deal!

Do you really owe him 18 lakh rupees?

It's what he says.

I'm not sure if it's correct.

But Karthik has borrowed quite a large sum from him for something.

I've been repaying him whatever I can.

But I haven’t been able to, for the last couple of months.

And if it is a girl, their behaviour changes, right?

Can we talk?

About Karthik.

I need to know some more things.

Not now? How about tomorrow?

I know it's late. I won't take long. Will leave soon.

Else, I'll have to book a room for tonight.

Ours is a low-budget investigation.

We don't have funds for a room.

But only if you are comfortable.

What’s your connection with theatre, drama?

We spent our childhood in Tamil Nadu.

Our dad was a Malayali and mom, Tamilian.

They were both in a drama troupe.

Dad was a drama actor and mom, a dancer.

During his growing-up years, Karthik was passionate about acting, just like Dad.

And I wanted to become a dancer like mom.

Karthik has done a lot of drama?

Yeah. He's a very good actor.

Whenever Karthik is on stage, it feels like there’s this fire in him.

He wasn't interested in anything else.

After our parents died,

Karthik was all I had.

So, when did you guys move to Kerala?

I had a heart problem.

By the time I was 14,

forget dancing,

I couldn't even walk properly.

Ventricular septal defect.

I underwent a major heart surgery.

My brother went through a lot for that.

After the surgery,

my brother came here, to our dad’s hometown.

There’s no one now in Tamil Nadu for us.

This is our story.

What’s your story, Mr Dominic?

I’m known as someone who has no story.

[melancholic music rises]

Since very young, I wanted to join the police force.

I passed the tests, went for the interview, then realised that

I was colour blind.

The almighty didn't give me the ability

to differentiate between red and green.

Though I was selected for several other jobs,

I had a deep desire to get this job only.

You think I'd let it go?

I managed a fake certificate and got in.

SI Dominic.

I got married too.

Lakshmi.

We lived happily for several years.

But eventually the bosses found out.

CI Dominic is colour blind.

And that I had made a fake certificate to get the job.

In a major case, I reported a car's colour wrong.

First, I lost my job.

Then my wife.

But… she did love me.

[door opens]

Okay.

No more questions.

[movie plays in the background]

Well, where's this case headed to?

It started with a missing purse.

And now, two man-missing cases.

Will a murder follow?

Who knows?

Investigation is quite expensive. Keep that in mind.

Well, I even paid for the petrol to go to Munnar.

Petrol money alone won't help!

If we’d been sitting in office, money would be overflowing now!

Okay, what's next?

These things come at a price.

When we get tired from investigating the case,

we need nutritious food to keep us energetic.

We need juice, Chinese food.

Do you think I have money for all that?

You've been ranting about expenses for quite some time!

Enough, focus on the screen.

Something thrilling happening now.

The cop investigating the case himself is the murderer.

He committed the murder the previous night and the next day, he hid the weapon--

Keep quiet, you!

Dude, don't spoil the movie for us.

So embarrassing!

Sorry! Sorry!

Sir, Karthik worked here for two years.

He stayed in a rented apartment nearby.

Prakash sir will be here soon.

[mysterious music playing]

Sir, they’ve come regarding Karthik, the missing case.

CI Dominic.

Dominic.

We are basically an NGO.

A small help for common people who can't afford the cost of legal systems.

Karthik was our operations manager.

He took care of logistics, documentation. That's about it.

While Karthik was working here,

was everything okay?

Or did you notice anything unusual?

No!

He was a very nice guy.

I mean, he is.

Lots of empathy towards our clients.

And, he wasn't much of a talker,

he was kind of reserved.

In most of the cases, we receive threats from opposing parties.

During that time also, there were a couple of such incidents.

That's quite common.

Threats from unknown numbers.

We don't really take it seriously.

Can you give me details of the cases you were dealing with during that time?

Also sir, I remember...

Karthik was really tense a couple of days before he went missing.

Something was disturbing him.

When I asked him, he didn't say anything.

In fact, he would be in a bad mood whenever we lost a case.

Do you have the address of the house Karthik used to live in?

Yes sir. I know the place.

Even though we were neighbours, we didn't see each other often.

He wasn’t really up to meeting people.

I used to see Karthik mostly during my morning walks.

He was interested in music.

I've heard classical music playing from his place.

Like Bharatanatyam dance songs...

Do you remember anybody visiting Karthik?

Only very few people.

And, a few weeks before he went missing,

a woman had come to visit him.

I saw her a few times.

A young lady.

She was wearing a saree.

As my cataract surgery wasn't done back then,

my vision wasn’t all that...

clear.

On 31st December morning, I saw Karthik there.

The next day, on New Year’s,

was the last time I saw that lady there.

She was dragging a bag that day.

The reason I remember the date is because

I never saw Karthik again, after that day.

Also, since then, no one has come looking for Karthik.

Maybe he has no one.

[suspenseful music rises]

Thank you.

Drishya from Prakash Associates

has shared the details of the last cases Karthik handled.

Okay, sir.

Nice girl.

I have some ideas.

Will tell you later.

-Do you want ice cream? -Yes!

Hello?

-Dominic. -Yes, Mr Dominic.

Have you ever been to the house where Karthik lived in Kochi?

No. I was in Kolkata during that time.

Okay. Okay.

But I know that house.

The landlord had raised an issue regarding an outstanding rent balance.

I told him that I don't need that place anymore and vacated the house.

I paid the balance amount later.

Okay. That's all.

The girl that Francis, the neighbour mentioned,

she confuses me the most.

Sir, maybe she is Karthik’s other girlfriend,

someone Pooja didn't know about.

Perhaps

it was for her that Karthik bought that saree.

That's elementary.

Let's try following these folks.

Tony, Sanjay, Ibrahim.

The opposing parties in the case Karthik last dealt with.

-Okay, sir. -You must watch these guys.

Okay.

Their activities, the places they visit.

And, we can use this to rile them up.

But where are you going, sir?

I'll be going to Tamil Nadu.

To Karthik's hometown.

"When you investigate about a person, start from their roots."

Investigation science says so.

Aren't you gonna have it?

Can you? Diabetes?

I'm not that diabetic also!

I can have an ice cream.

[rhythmic bass pulsing]

It's been years since the drama company shut down, sir.

It was right here.

It’s been ten years since we came here.

The owner was a guy named Chandrasekhar.

He...

Where can I find him? Can I talk to him?

He's not here now, sir. His wife passed away a year ago.

He had gone to Varanasi to immerse her ashes.

He hasn't returned yet.

Do you have his phone number?

Phone number... I have his landline number.

But he's not home, right?

Do you know this guy?

Who is this, sir?

His name is Karthik.

I don't know him, sir.

This is my phone number. Please ask him to call me when he returns.

Okay, sir.

There's a room nearby, sir.

The drama company's properties are still there.

Chandrasekhar sir spends all his time here only.

This is that old place, sir.

[phone rings]

How's it going? Did the poster idea work?

Sir, Sanjay and Ibrahim Mooppan.

I didn't feel like Sanjay was involved in this.

His reaction was normal even after seeing the poster.

But Ibrahim Mooppan.

He identified Karthik.

But again, I'm not so sure.

I know him.

-Works with an NGO, right? This guy? -Yes, sir.

So, I got confused. I don't think he's involved.

I don't think this poster idea will work, sir.

How can we find the culprit by their reaction?

You don't worry about that. Where is Tony?

Sir, I found out that he's in Dubai. He'll return today.

Okay. I'm on my way back. See you tomorrow.

I'll get a tan, sir.

No, it's alright.

[tense beats building]

Hey! Good morning, Mr Tony!

One second, I'll call you back.

Your wall is ruined, huh?

What to do? This guy is very dear to us.

What to do?

The date is wrong. It's not two days, it’s two years!

To be precise, December 31st, 2021.

Don’t you remember? Isn’t that correct?

Correct it the next time you print it.

Okay?

Come.

Did you notice how his expression changed?

I didn't see such a reaction from anybody else.

You said my idea won't work?

It is simple ideas like this which work.

He knows something about Karthik.

What do we do with him now, sir?

We don't have to do anything. He'll do something.

Let's wait.

Okay, sir.

[rain falling softly]

[doorbell rings]

Hello, Mr Dominic.

Shucks, I wasn’t expecting you at all!

I've expected guys coming here to hit me

But someone like this,

not at all.

Please come.

I came to Kochi for a dance program.

And suddenly remembered you.

I just dropped by to know if you got any further information about my brother.

And, it was so easy to find your address.

Dominic Detectives’ posters are all over the city.

We don't have the funds to run ads on Facebook and Instagram.

As far as the case is concerned--

Who are you looking for now, Mr Dominic? Pooja or Karthik?

To reach Pooja, we need to first know what happened to Karthik.

-Any leads? -There are leads.

We got a lead from Prakash's office.

One Mr Tony. He's a corporate.

He's somehow involved in the missing of Karthik.

That I'm sure.

But we don't have enough proof.

And I had gone to Nagercoil.

Looking for your old drama troupe.

How come, I didn’t even give you any address?

I’m like that.

Once I have a lead, I’ll ensure I complete the deed!

Did you meet Chandrasekhar uncle? The owner of the troupe?

No, he’s shut everything down and left.

And he doesn't have a phone either.

Seeing how this case is progressing, I wonder if he’s gone missing too.

This is an interesting place.

That's a cute chair.

Here's an old photo album of your drama troupe.

Take it.

Might find some of your brother's photos.

Photos.

[doorbell rings]

-Who are you guys? -Is it him?

[intense music swells]

[glass shatters]

[groans in pain]

[dog barking]

Do you know who you're messing with!

You!

Come on!

[fast-paced dramatic music rises]

You're not with the police.

Why are you after this case?

If you try to act smart, we'll burn you to the ground!

He's set my thing on fire!

Put it out! Put it out!

Quit playing Sherlock Holmes and stay put at home!

Dominic Detective, piece of s***!

Come on, guys!

[phone ringing]

Hello?

You wanna stick a poster in front of my home, huh?

You want to see your ‘In Memory Of’ poster?

You wanna see how I finish you, huh?

If you interfere in things

that are none of your business,

You'll go missing too like the other guy.

You wanna see that?

Mr Dominic, are you okay?

What's going on? Shouldn't we call the police?

No, no. I'm alright. I'm okay.

Are you okay?

I toned down the violence because you were here.

Else they would've seen the real me!

They are just goons.

Give me five minutes. I'll be right back.

[dog barking]

Bro! I'm okay. I'm okay.

Poor thing is worried if anything happened to me.

Neighbours are creating a scene outside.

[distant voices arguing outside]

They are Tony’s men.

Tony has panicked.

Trying his low level stuff, never mind.

Aren't you going to the hospital?

No! No need of that.

When I was in service, this was every day for me.

While I was on duty in Kochi, I cleaned up this city.

Me, all by myself on one side.

Maradu Suni, Gunda Shaji and Padaveedan on the other side.

A vast battalion.

One swift move, and I put everyone behind bars!

You saw that punch and that police hold? You didn’t miss that, right?

Bro... Relax. It's alright. I'm okay.

Relax.

Okay, Mr Dominic.

I gotta go.

It's time for my program.

-Okay. -Please take care.

[soft music playing]

Oh, now this too!

What the hell is going on here?

A war?

He must be thrown out from here.

I'm fed up of complaining to the house owner.

We live with our families here.

You think you can do whatever you wish?

Live respectfully!

I'll show you in the next association meeting. Okay?

Thank you, Swami.

I owe you one, okay.

Okay.

Are you okay, sir?

I'm okay.

Dammit! Why didn't you call me?

They didn't give me time to call you in the middle of the fight.

I'll call and inform you next time.

You may come and get your share.

Sir...

Were they Tony's men, sir?

Yes. Yes.

How do you know?

Tony mentioned it.

I thought something like this will happen when you irked him that day.

Really? You should have mentioned it then.

I would have been ready.

Should we invite further problems, sir?

Shall we let go of this case?

[tense music slowly rises]

The moment Tony saw the poster, he called Prakash.

I got the information from Cyber Cell.

But... why did he call him?

And what is the connection?

Hi.

Yes, sir.

-CI Dominic. -Yes.

Open that Instagram page.

Okay.

Here you go, sir.

What's this, sir?

A bruise on the forehead.

[dramatic music playing]

There's no bruise in this photo.

This was on the night of December 31st.

And this,

was on the evening of January 1st.

Something has happened between this time frame.

After that night,

until this moment,

no one has seen Karthik.

How do you do this, sir?

I also saw these photos that day.

But how come you are able to figure out all this?

Observation.

Concentration.

What can you tell from this?

Manliness, sir.

Eh?

-This watch... -Oh!

Titan, sir.

That's it?

Nothing else?

-No. -Now take off your watch.

You got this watch

around...

3 months back... 2 or 3 months.

Two weeks ago, you went to the beach,

slipped and fell.

The glass cracked, a bit.

Before you got this watch,

it belonged to someone else.

His name is...

Ra...

Raa...

No, no...

Go...

Gopan!

Ya!

This is a limited-edition G-Shock watch that came out three years ago.

The side is cracked

and sand from the sea has gotten inside.

And to make it more comfortable on your hand,

you've added an extra hole to it.

That means...

the previous owner of this watch is larger than you.

And in your house,

the only people bigger than you are your uncles,

Rakesh and Gopan, who do business in the market.

Yes.

When I said, Ra... your face was expressionless.

But when I said, Go... your face lit up!

So, it's Gopan and Gopan only!

-Yes, sir. -Okay.

But in this case,

concentration is more important than observation.

-Yes, sir. -When you lose your concentration,

your deductions will go wrong!

Okay, sir.

Prakash sir will be late.

He said not to wait.

Didn't you tell him sir has come?

We'll come another day.

Okay.

He's inside.

He nicely dodged us, avoiding meeting us.

Now I'm sure that I'm on the right track.

Please come.

Chechi...

Hello, sir.

I go to the police station every day and enquire sir.

I meet all the officers.

By night time, she brings me back here.

This is their flat.

Usually,

she'll call me no matter where she goes.

But this time...

I don't know where she is...

how she is...

if something has happened to her.

I have no clue about anything, sir.

I'm not even sure if she's alive or not...

Sir...

I think...

these policemen have no interest in investigating this case.

Jhansi told me that you’d come to

enquire about Pooja.

Do you have any information

about my daughter?

Did Pooja

ever mention about a Karthik?

I've not met that boy.

But from whatever Pooja said,

he’s a very peculiar character.

He would go missing for 2-3 weeks

without even telling her.

And then...

he’d come back as if nothing happened.

[low, ominous music playing]

Sometimes, they’d fight with each other.

But she really liked him a lot.

Pooja left her house that morning

to meet this Karthik.

Two years ago,

they met in Munnar.

That's when they broke up.

After that,

Karthik has been missing.

Did Pooja go missing because of Karthik?

Or did Karthik go missing because of Pooja?

What are you saying?

When was the last time you spoke to Pooja?

That morning on the phone...

Uh... and she...

had sent some forwards

and links on WhatsApp.

She usually sends me some everyday.

That day when the video didn’t open,

I asked her.

She said she'll call me back.

That she's busy...

She's at the bus stop.

She said she was going to meet someone.

Did she tell you who she was going to meet?

Hmm... a friend...

She said it was quite far away.

She said after that...

she would come to Palakkad...

to see me...

Stay calm.

Your daughter will be back.

Do you have that purse with you?

-Yes, sir. -Give it.

It's Pooja's purse.

[dramatic music rises]

[messages from Drishya]

Sir, will there be any problem?

What if he gets all violent and comes at us?

[intense music plays]

Worst case, there will be an attack.

The first movement will be something like this.

You block with your left

and punch right under the chest.

He’ll bend... like a hook...

And then... ram your knee into his chin.

He’ll straighten up.

Slam both hands into his ears and boom!

He’ll be seeing tweety birds.

That’s when...

you deliver a right punch,

a left punch.

And one straight punch!

And then, twirl him around,

Finished.

-Got it? -Yes, got it.

Sir, so, the guys who came home that day? Same treatment?

They were random goons.

They haven’t learned scientific fighting.

Plus, it was a surprise attack.

But I handled it.

This guy will be a sitting duck.

You can totally handle him.

Phew!

What kind of a place is this?

It’s all open.

You can leave now, Drishya.

Thank you so much.

Sorry to have used you for this.

No problem, sir.

Glad to be of some help.

Karthik was...

a really nice guy.

Hey! HEY!

Drishya!

[dramatic music swells]

Good morning. There’s something I wanted to say.

Bloody shit!

Did you think I'm some kinda wimp?

Going around with a fake ID,

you worthless two-bit detective!

The beating you got wasn’t enough, is it?

Hey!

I have this instinct.

And it's usually never wrong.

The minute I saw you, I knew you are a crook.

"A small help for common people

who can't afford the cost of legal systems!"

You can’t hide any longer!

-Hey! Put down the gun. -I came looking for you.

You were avoiding me.

So I brought along a gun.

Come on.

Sit down.

SIT!

-Please... -Sit!

Now, let us talk.

Sir, that night,

after returning the case files,

Karthik resigned.

That's what Prakash sir told us.

The night he went missing, at 10.52,

yours, Karthik's and Tony's

phone tower locations were all the same.

Around 11.20 pm,

all three of your phone tower locations

changed to a place a few miles away.

Let's leave before someone sees us!

And that's where

Karthik's phone switched off forever.

Why?

What happened there?

There has been no trace of him since.

You told everyone he resigned his job and left.

And...

the blessed wound that appeared on your forehead within hours of

Karthik's disappearance.

Yes, I remember.

The wound happened while reversing the car.

Also,

he didn't use that car for the next one week.

So, I simply checked out your car.

And there it was!

Instead of taking it to the company workshop,

you secretly sent it out for repairs!

Because of a crucial accident!

And the date of service is

January 2nd, 2022.

Why? It was an accident!

A collision. You wanted to hide that.

And it was not while reversing the car.

Because the damage is in the front.

Hats off to that boy from the workshop.

Just to hand over all these details and photographs,

he charged me 15000 rupees!

Wondering how I found the workshop?

In this city, if you give money,

you'll get everything except a mom and dad.

Also,

on seeing that poster of Karthik’s,

why did Tony call you?

He sends people to my house to beat me up

and then, why did he call me?

And that's why you're here.

That poor thing, a girl

has been waiting for her brother for the past two years.

I haven't seen or spoken to Karthik.

There's no information about him.

I have no idea what happened to him.

And you know what?

For the sake of that girl,

I don't mind taking a shot at you!

No!

Please...

It's confession time, Prakash!

I... I...

He was like my brother...

Of course, I know that.

Come to the point, sir.

I didn't kill him, Dominic.

It was all going well.

Karthik said he was resigning from our company.

He told me he was moving out for some years

and we happily let him go.

[loud upbeat music blasting]

I did not expect

Karthik to come there.

He came to hand over

Tony's company's case files.

The problem began when he saw us together.

Those files were very important to both of us.

For us it is money

and Tony's company's future in the court.

But for Karthik...

it was about the many other lives

that would be impacted by it.

I went after him only for those files.

Just leave him, man! I'm just saying--

I need those papers! You just shut up!

He's my boy! I need those papers!

Or our company is done for! Just listen to me!

Come in, Swami.

I never intended to

kill him...

I promise it was an accident.

I lived everyday

with the hope that

Karthik is alive somewhere and well.

And everyday

with the fear that he may surface one day.

Sir.

If Karthik fell into the lake and died two years ago,

who did Pooja meet two weeks ago?

Didn't Jhansi say Pooja went to meet Karthik?

Is she lying?

Who's lying?

Pooja or Jhansi?

Anyway, we'll have to find Karthik's body

to rule out or confirm any theories.

Let's do that.

It's high time we made this case official.

Swami, thank you for all the help so far.

Did you find anything?

Ah! It was who I thought it would be.

But I can’t handle what’s next on my own.

Need to inform the higher-ups.

Until then, keep an eye on him.

By the way, Dominic, this time, it was a lot of work.

The charges will be more.

Oh, dear Swami! I'll pay.

You heard that?

You were saying I was tricking Mrs Madhuri and taking her money?

Now you see? The kind of expenses I have to deal with.

It begins here. C’mon!

Dominic sir!

So, Dominic,

you have a detective agency now?

It's not an agency or anything, sir.

Just me and him... Vicky.

Just us...

Once he goes to Canada, I'll be alone again, like before.

I miss your sense of humour, Dominic.

It's because you're in this post that I came here.

Otherwise, I'd have tried some other way.

Tell me.

It all started with a simple

ladies' purse case.

Already two people related to this case are missing.

And now it’s come to a dead body in a lake.

I've got a confession from

the person involved.

It was forced.

Not by the book.

No police involved?

Complaints were filed for both cases, but no action was taken.

Ah, the usual!

Police, I tell you.

Hence, Detective Dominic to the rescue.

Uhm, you mentioned, not by the book.

What'd you do?

Was it like your old infamous Chavakkad case?

Is the person in the ICU or something?

No, nothing like that.

I just threatened him with a gun.

Huh?

It's a fake gun, fake gun!

We need permission to search a lake area in Munnar.

And we're going to be looking for?

Male, aged 30.

And his name is Karthik.

When did this happen?

Two years ago.

We are going to be looking for a two-year-old dead body.

That too in the water.

Please come.

Superb, sir! The way you handled it!

So that was a dummy gun?

I was lying.

It’s the real deal!

[suspenseful music playing]

[doorbell chimes]

[door opens]

Can we come in?

[classical dance music plays in the background]

Um...

Dance rehearsals are going on.

I'll be back.

Today is Karthik's birthday.

As usual, I made his favourite payasam.

I've been celebrating alone for the past 2 years.

We have some information.

But it doesn't look good.

Prakash of

Prakash Associates.

He made a confession.

On December 31st,

in an accident,

Karthik fell into a nearby lake.

An operation is underway right now.

They're searching the lake for his body.

[bowls shattering]

[thud]

Nandita...

[ominous music plays]

That means...

I shouldn't wait for him anymore...?

Until you find his body or some remnants.

Nandita...

Take care.

[water splashing]

[tense music rises]

[indistinct voices]

Sir, there's something with stones tied to it.

Looks like there's a body.

Go ahead.

Sir, we got the bike from there.

In that corner, apparently,

there’s a body tied with stones, submerged.

Also,

Prakash is lying, sir.

It's not an accident.

It looks like a planned murder.

[intense music builds]

Sir!

This is female, sir.

[suspenseful music playing]

Pooja...

Pooja?

Sir!

What is this?!

What is happening?!

The case of the ladies' purse

is now wide open.

[suspense-filled music increases]

Sir, I think

Pooja knew what had happened to Karthik.

That's why

Prakash and Tony killed her.

This wasn't done by Prakash or Tony.

Or...

someone, got to know what we found out from Prakash

and that we were going to search the lake,

has dumped pooja’s body here.

No chance! Don't be silly.

Sir, shouldn't we tell Pooja's mother?

The body identification process...

-...how will she handle it? -Yes, Swami. Tell me.

I've sent you the call details of those numbers.

There were no calls between those numbers.

The first number

is not active

since December 31st, 2021.

The second number,

although it was taken earlier,

has only been actively used since January 2022.

But neither of these numbers were used at the locations you mentioned.

Okay. Okay, Swami.

Sir, whose phone numbers

was he talking about?

[suspenseful music continues]

Sir, you smoke, is it?

Once in a blue moon.

Dominic.

Is it bad news?

Very bad news.

We found the body from the lake.

Pooja's.

Oh, my God!

Did she commit suicide?

No. Murder.

Oh, God!

What are you going to do now?

Now I don't have a choice.

I will find the killer.

Hello...

It's me, Dominic.

That day... on January 10th...

you said Pooja sent you some forwards, right?

Can you send them to me?

Ah... okay, sir.

Okay.

Thank you.

Sir...

You didn't tell her about Pooja?

[dance video plays]

Pooja sent this to her mother.

[ominous music starts building]

[car engine revs]

[car door opens]

Pooja might’ve only realised later that Karthik had a sister.

That might be what she was trying to tell her mom.

What if they killed Pooja to prevent her from meeting Nandita?

Could Nandita be the next target, sir?

That’s what you are seeing.

But that's not what I see.

Pooja has come here.

That's why we are here.

Hello. Hello.

Can I ask you something?

Have you ever seen this girl here?

-No. -And how long have you been here?

I've been with these kids for years.

It was Karthik who brought me here.

After he disappeared, I'm with Nandita now.

-What's your name? -Ramachandran.

So, you've never seen this girl?

No.

-You wait here. I'll be right back. -Sir...

[dramatic music plays]

We didn't find Karthik's body in the lake.

You searched the whole lake?

Maybe at the bottom of the lake?

You said remnants and all...

No. We didn't find anything.

So, Karthik must be safe somewhere, right?

He will come back to me someday, right? Mr Dominic?

Didn't I tell you? He will come back one day.

-Don't lose hope. -Yeah. I'm hopeful.

Sorry.

We should celebrate his birthday! Payasam?

Please come.

Won't your assistant join us?

Please sit.

[epic, intense music swells]

I'm so happy.

Payasam?

You must have this.

You made it?

It's good to have something sweet before starting something special.

[tense, dramatic music plays]

Please have it.

I’m diabetic.

I rarely eat the sweet stuff.

Just a wee bit, maybe.

Happy birthday to Karthik.

When is your birthday?

January 1st.

And yours, Dominic?

September 13th.

How old are you?

If I may ask.

25.

You said you underwent a heart surgery when you were 15?

After that?

I was at Nagercoil. With Chandrasekhar uncle.

Dance, drama...

Oh. Chandrasekhar.

I couldn't meet him that day.

I've given my number at a shop for him to call me back.

How long were you there in Nagercoil?

About four or five years.

-After that? -Kolkata.

How many years?

Around 3 years. Dance training.

After that?

I've been here for the last two years.

-Do you speak Bengali? -Yes.

Let’s hear it.

But do you know Bengali?

Yes.

I was in Kolkata for three years.

I learnt Bengali during that time.

Do you believe me now?

Or should I speak more?

I have one more question.

Can I ask?

Of course. Please.

Is this an interrogation?

Yes.

Why?

During these years, you never called Karthik once.

And during these years,

Karthik too has never made a call to any Kolkata phone numbers.

So?

You guys love each other a lot,

yet never made calls to each other during all these years.

What does that mean?

Doesn't it look strange?

I've never used a phone.

I started using one recently.

To be precise, from January 1st, 2022.

So?

You never used to speak to Karthik?

I did, but not over the phone.

We've met at several places during those years.

Mumbai, Chennai, Madurai and all.

You can check.

We clicked that photo when we last met.

Where did you stay in Kolkata?

Can you give me the details of some people you know there?

Yeah. Sure. I can give you some names.

Give me some numbers and names.

What authority do you have to ask me these questions?

This feels like harassment, Mr Dominic.

You're not even a police officer.

Maybe I should complain to the police then.

That's what both of us should be doing now. But...

It'd be best for you if the police don't come here now.

So even if I’ve murdered somebody,

you’ll let me go, isn't it, Dominic?

We’ll see about that, then.

So what’s your concern, Mr.Dominic?

From age 15, there are no records about you.

No records available,

till Karthik disappears.

Nobody has seen you, including your neighbours.

I'll check your Kolkata whereabouts.

But that's my concern.

Something doesn't add up.

Mr Dominic, you're completely on the wrong track here.

Pooja had come here that day.

Here?

Yes.

No!

Didn't I tell you?

I've never met Pooja.

I met Pooja's mom.

I gathered, from what she said,

Pooja came here

to meet Karthik's sister, Nandita.

And she sent your dance video to her mother.

No one has come here Mr. Dominic.

Besides, a lot of people know that I am Karthik's sister.

Pooja might have gotten to know too.

And hence she could have sent my videos to her mom, right?

Pooja's body was found from that lake this morning.

What?

Oh, my God!

How?

That's what I'm asking you.

Is that why you asked me if Pooja came here?

Am I a suspect?

You think I did something to Pooja?

Mr Dominic, I've been waiting for my brother for the last two years,

not even knowing if he is alive or dead.

I'm not a killer.

I'm a dancer.

How can I kill somebody?

Besides, isn’t it also important to me that Pooja is alive?

You said she knew where my brother is.

Why would I kill her?

Maybe, she left for here that day.

I was here on the 10th of January.

But... she never reached here, Mr Dominic.

But I didn’t say it was 10th January.

You mentioned it, Mr Dominic.

When you first came here.

On the morning of January 9th, Pooja leaves her house.

Mr Dominic, please.

[tense music rises]

[phone ringing]

Hello? Dominic here.

Hello, sir. Chandrasekhar here.

Heard that you came to Nagercoil and enquired about Karthik.

Hello, sir. I've been wanting to talk to you.

Tell me, sir. What happened to Karthik?

Karthik is missing for the past two years, sir.

I tried contacting you to see

if I could get any useful information that would help find him.

It’s been three years since I met Karthik.

I wonder what happened to him.

He was the main actor in my drama troupe, sir.

His parents died when he was still young.

After that, his sister Nandita meant the whole world to him.

Unfortunately, she also left him when she was young.

After that, Karthik wasn't the same, sir.

He worked in the corporate field

without any passion.

Maybe, something happened there.

Who... left him and went where, sir?

His sister, sir.

Nandita.

Where did she go?

She passed away, sir.

I don't quite understand, sir.

Sir, she is no more.

She had a severe

heart issue.

She didn't survive that.

Sir, right now I am with Nandita in her house.

Then you must be in heaven, Mr Dominic.

Because... she was an angel.

She was a girl like that.

She died when she was just 15, sir.

I cremated her with my own hands.

Karthik didn't even attend the funeral.

He still doesn't believe that she died.

He won't ever accept it.

He must've been around 19 then.

Karthik is a very soft person, sir.

Lots of feminity in him.

Effeminate.

You see...

He’d try and act all manly to overcome that.

Off-stage. I'm talking about in life, sir.

He is a very good actor, sir.

But on stage, he loved to play female characters.

That girl just keeps getting

more and more beautiful.

We've done several plays.

On 31st December morning,

I saw Karthik there.

The next day, on New Year’s,

was the last time I saw that lady there.

And after he went missing,

Nandita moved here.

But, Karthik has borrowed quite a large sum from him for something.

I've been repaying him whatever I can.

Eighteen lakh seventy-six thousand rupees.

Our version of 'Ponniyin Selvan' is quite popular, sir.

He played Kundavai in it, sir.

His performance was so convincing, sir.

I also like to experiment.

Thank you, sir. I will call you later.

S... sir.

You said you were with Nandita?

Who is that?

I've just figured that out myself.

-I will call you back, sir. -Okay, sir.

[rising, ominous music playing]

I’ve often said

there’s always a 20% chance of error in deductions.

But this time it is...

no concentration.

I am disappointed with myself.

What happened, Mr Dominic?

Everybody, including me,

we’ve worn masks over our true selves, to get on with life.

But,

the face of a man you wore for 25 years,

you threw it away for becoming a woman.

Right?

Respect.

The moment I first saw you, I was drawn to you.

Distracted by you. I still am.

Maybe if you’d told me that day that you were Karthik,

I would never have found Pooja.

I would have left.

Intrigued

and distracted.

But why didn't you tell me that?

Because you had something more to hide.

Pooja.

You killed Pooja.

Why?

Nandita.

I am Nandita. Not Karthik.

Nandita is no longer alive.

Didn't she die when she was just 15, Karthik?

You turned into a woman and took on your sister's identity.

Right?

That accident you were in, you made smart use of that too.

Nandita is not dead, Dominic.

It is Karthik who is dead.

Go check at the bottom of the lake.

You'll find Karthik somewhere deep down.

You didn't even tell Pooja about this.

And she had no idea.

She came here too, just like us,

something happened,

and you killed her.

She kept calling me 'Karthik, Karthik'!

Like a cicada crying out loud!

Aren't you Karthik? Answer me!

Why did you pretend to love me?

Karthik, I knew the minute I saw your pictures!

That's why I killed her.

[tense music plays]

And one more time you say I’m dead,

I will kill you too, Dominic.

I didn't say that.

Your Chandrasekhar uncle told me.

What did he say?

That Nandita is no more.

Why did you come here?

You could've just sat at home on your stupid chair!

-Who asked you to come here, huh? -What the hell are you doing?

[classical song playing]

I should've killed you at your house that day itself!

My fault! My fault!

Dominic! You have no idea what I’ve been through.

Respect, my foot!

Die, you!

You!

YOU!

I won't spare you!

Hey!

[glass shatters]

[sharp stabbing sound]

I even killed my father! What are you?

Nandita is not dead! I am Nandita!

Hey!

What's going on?

Sir!

Hey!

Sir...

Sir...

Sir... Blood...

I won't spare them, sir!

It's a dummy gun!

Call the police and ambulance! I'm going to die!

I'm going to die!

Hurry up!

Hello? Ambulance? Emergency!

I’ve always seen myself as a woman.

A complete woman.

My sister was my whole world,

my everything.

Our mom left us when we were little

and our dad only knew how to resent us.

Karthik! What are you doing?

You are a boy.

Not a girl! Got it?

I'll kill you if you repeat this--

It’s not that I didn’t try to be a man.

I just couldn’t.

I was born to be a woman.

My decision is to embody my sister.

And it’s her destiny to live through me.

This is who I am, my identity.

Anyone or anything that tries to tarnish it...

I will destroy them.

I am Nandita.

This is that house.

As a police officer,

I’ve always reached the scene of crime after the crime is committed.

But here I found myself rubbing shoulders with death.

Many a time, I risked my life

miraculously escaping death by poison and by the knife.

A drunk father,

a pestering money lender,

an unassuming girl,

and after these people, I was her next target

But

observation and concentration.

Both of these came to my aid.

And above everything else,

the phone call I received at a crucial moment

that confirmed my suspicions.

That was the final blow.

That unleashed the beast.

When I got stabbed and my assistant came running to me,

I told him this before I passed out.

"Don't worry about me. Don't let her escape."

But, luck was in her favour.

Go Dominic, go!

Like a harbinger of the gruesome events ahead,

the atmosphere was cloudy.

At last, my intuition brought me face to face with her.

The way she looked similar to the person in the photo

from the album carelessly left on the table,

the ease with which she said her lies that she had memorised,

I noticed them all.

My willpower to never give up, even if it cost me my life,

and my desire to complete the mission

kept me going.

-Yours is a missing person case, right? -Yes.

You can go upstairs.

-Wait! -I'm with her.

Okay. Go.

I saw the poster and came to be his assistant.

I am the assistant. I am the main guy.

Go and stand there.

Hello! Can't you see me? Go and stand there.

[phone ringing]

-Sir? -Where are you?

I'm doing the crowd management, sir.

Come up. I need you now.

-Sir, the crowd? -I have to go to Andaman!

Okay.

[notification sound]

My willpower to never give up, even if it cost me my life,

and my desire to complete the mission,

these were all that kept me going.

An unfortunate young man.

It was here that poor girl lost her life.

And this is where I saw her last.

I'm sorry to say, Pooja, may your soul rest in peace.
