[Humming a song]

[Approaching footsteps]

[Opening the gate]

KUMARAN:Mone (Kiddo)...

[Keyboard clacking]

[Rain pattering]

Ah, you're here!

I've left the coffee there. Ah!

I'm heading to the top.

PAVI: Ah!

KUMARAN: Hey, before I head out, need me to do anything?

Nah, I barely slept last night. I'm gonna crash now.

I'll do it later.

Really? Just lock the gate before you sleep, okay?

I'll just reach in and open it when I get back.

It's just to keep those pesky monkeys out.

Honestly, even locked, it won't make much difference.

If they want in, they'll find a way.

Alright then, I'm off.

[Rain pattering]

[Humming a song]

[Humming continues]

[Thunder rumbling]

[Heavy breathing]

[Fire crackling]

[Utensil clinks]

[Podcast playing]

[Machete clinks] Let it sit here.

One of the banana trees on the east side fell.

The bunch was almost ripe.

Such bad luck. What else can we say?

[Podcast continues]

We could chop it up and make someupperi (a Stirfry).

Otherwise, it's no good.

[Fire crackling in the background]

[Heavy footsteps]

Oh, dear...

[Sickle clanks]

[Utensil clinks]

[Blowing on embers]

[Podcast continues]

KUMARAN: When I came back at noon, you were sound asleep.

PAVI: Ah!

[Water splashing]

That's why I didn't wake you for lunch.

That's great!

Yeah, I slept so well because of that.

[Wind whooshing]

[Podcast continues]

I should see a doctor tomorrow, or maybe the day after.

My legs have been acting up lately.

I'll be back in two days.

If I head out now, I'll make it to the road before dark.

Kumaraetta (Elder), aren't you taking the bananas?

KUMARAN: Leave it there. We'll need it later.

[Fire crackles]

[Crickets trilling]

[Dog barking]

GIRL: Hey, why not drop by my place on your way back tomorrow?

I've already let my folks know.

I already told you,

I have a ton to do when I get home.

If I stop by your place, I'll only get home at midnight.

Then I won't get anything done.

Just for a bit. No, I can't!

[Phone rings]

WOMAN: Hello?

Ah... Hello,Amma (Mother).

How's work,Moley (Kiddo)? All done for the day?

Yes, it's over.

Ah...

They said they'll let us know if there's more.

Mmm...

Will you get a job there? No idea, they haven't said.

Okay... Did you pack everything?

Yeah, I'm packing right now.

I don't need to keep anything here anymore.

Ah!

I'll be there by tomorrow night.

How'sAchan (Father) doing?

He's good. Same as always.

Oh, he asked about that'walky thingy'!

Ah, I remember. A walking stick, right?

I'll bring it with me. Ah!

Alright then, call me when you leave.

Sure, I will.

Alright... Be careful, okay?

Ah, bye!

[Dog barking]

[Beeping]

[Chair creaking]

[Beeping continues]

[Beeping stops]

[Hymns playing over megaphone]

[Indistinct chattering]

[Humming]

GIRL: You gonna walk?

Yeah, I figured I'd walk along the dam's side.

If I leave now, I can catch the bus.

See you, then!

Bye. Ah!

[Laboured breathing]

[Generator starting]

[Tool clanks]

[Water falling in the tank]

[Sighs]

PAVI: Nothing much, man!

I just can't seem to write anything.

FRIEND: Hmm? What's up?

I don't know.

[Birds chirping]

PAVI: When I wrote for others, I never had this problem.

They always knew what they wanted.

So it was a lot less stressful.

But now, writing for myself...

PAVI: I just can't connect.

Hey, don't rush it. Take your time.

Hmm… Still need to finish it, though.

How long can I go on without my own identity?

FRIEND: Yeah, you'll get there. By the way, doesn't Kumaraettan drop by?

Yeah, he's here.

If you can, come over.

Talking it out might help with my block.

FRIEND: Oh, I can't come anytime soon. I have a recording next week.

And I gotta stay till my Appan (Dad) is here.

Once he's here, I'll come over the very next day.

And hey, don't get into any trouble there! If myAppan finds out, I'm toast!

You know how he is, right? Yeah, yeah. Okay!

Hey, I have another call coming in.

PAVI: Mmm... You keep writing.

I'll call you when I plan to come, okay?

Okay, bye!

[Ambient noises from the forest]

[A whimper]

[Someone whimpering]

Hey, hey, hey!!!

Hey?

What happened to you? Hello?

Hey?

[Someone Grunting]

[Laboured breathing]

[Panting]

[Gasping]

[Girl screaming]

[Girl whimpering]

Don't be scared. I'm not here to hurt you.

I found you injured, so I brought you here.

What happened?

Huh?

Who attacked you?

PAVI: Eh?

Was it him?

Mmm... Huh?

[Grunting]

[Wincing]

I think he's really hurt.

He needs to be taken to a hospital.

No.

PAVI: How can you say that?

We can't just leave him here like this!

He fell from a height.

He'll be fine soon.

[Wincing in pain]

[Birds Chirping]

Hey?

ANJU: Hasn't he woken up yet?

No, not yet.

We can't just leave him like this.

We have to do something.

It's best to take him to the hospital.

Come, let's get him onto the bed.

[Grunting]

My bag... It's probably still where we left it.

My phone's in there.

ANJU: I need to... Get it.

Umm...

You stay put. I'll go get it.

Mmm...

[Birds chirping]

[Leaves rustling]

[Phone Vibrating]

[Whimpering]

Here's your bag...

Eh!?

[Heavy footsteps]

[Shuddery breath]

WOMAN: Hello... ANJU: Hello?

Amma, it's me, Anju...

You said you'd be here yesterday. Haven't you left yet?

I couldn't leave...

What happened? Aren't you done with your work there?

Hello?

WOMAN: Can you hear me? Mmm...

I've got a few more days of work left.

Is that so?

They want me to stay a bit longer.

Hello?

Hello?Moley?

Hello? Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

[Signal breaking up]

Amma, the signal's really bad here.

Ah, I can hear you now. Go on...

TellAchan... Ah?

ANJU: The walking stick will be delivered home...

WOMAN: Should I pick it up from there?

Hello?

No, they'll deliver it to you. Hello? Hello?

Hello? Hello?

Hello?

Amma? Hello?

Hello?

There's no signal here... Hello? Hello?

Amma, since there's no network... Hello?Moley?

...I can't hear anything.

So, you wait for a... WOMAN: Hello?

What the **** have you done? Hello?

Huh?

I'm the one who has to answer for this mess!

Just because someone did something... Does that mean we kill them?

Huh?

I'm bloody asking you!!!

Please... Don't ask me anything right now.

After all this, you don't want me asking you anything? Is that it?

If he did something to you, you should've gone to the police!

File a police report? And then what?

What would happen then?

If it was your family he hurt here, would you wait for the police?

That's all I did too!

I've got no one to rely on but me.

What have you... If anyone finds out, how will I face the world?

I'll be ruined!

If you think your life's ruined just seeing this, imagine what I'm going through?

I'm the one who's supposed to look after my family.

And, in the middle of all this...

KUMARAN: I've been on this estate for a while... FRIEND: Don't get into any trouble there!

I know every nook and cranny of this property.

If myAppan finds out, I'm toast! You know how he is, right?

Don't use that bathroom. It's a mess.

No one uses it anymore.

Alright then, I'll be back in two days!

[Materials scraping]

[Sack rustling]

[Grunting]

Why are you just sitting there? Come on, help me out.

We can't just leave him here like this.

The workerchettan (Elder) will be back tomorrow.

Give me a hand...

Come on!

Get his leg inside...

[Straining]

[Coughing]

If you want to freshen up, go ahead. You shouldn't stay like this.

[Panting]

[Door rattling]

[Locking the door]

[Anju hyperventilating]

[Stifled cry]

[Fire crackling]

[Tea being poured]

[Peeling the bandaid]

Tea, for you...

[Plate scraping]

Is this place yours?

Why does it matter to you?

Who was he?

I don't know.

He used to drop by our place now and then.

He was such a nuisance!

We told him to stay away so many times...

No matter what, this wasn't the way to handle it.

So, what do we do with him now?

I don't know...

We can't leave the body here.

There are some wooded areas around the dam.

We'll have to bury it somewhere out there.

But we can't do it during the day.

We'll have to wait till night.

But there's a problem...

There's a festival going on at the Kaavu (Sacred grove) nearby every night.

So, people will be coming and going.

We'll have to wait until it's done.

That's the safest thing to do.

So... What do we do with him until then?

You should've thought of that before you did this.

PAVI: Anyway, just tell your family you're not coming home till this is sorted.

But, then... What about me?

I can't go back to work.

I can't go back there now that my training's done.

Then don't leave! Stay here.

How am I supposed to handle all this by myself?

It's better for you to stay here given the situation.

But...

Didn't you say someone else was coming to work here?

What if he sees me?

[Festive din fromKaavu]

[Fan creaking]

[Inverter beeping]

[Switching off]

Ah, don't worry...

The battery's just low.

Go back to sleep.

[Festive din continuing fromKaavu]

[Matchstick lighting]

[Heavy sighing]

[Opening the gate]

KUMARAN:Mone...

[Rain pattering on the asbestos]

[Grunting]

How about making a strong cup of tea?

KUMARAN: I didn't even have time for breakfast back home.

When I went to the well to fetch some water for tea,

I found... Well, there was this rope and bucket in the well.

I...

[Beedi smouldering]

I wonder where he's from.

We don't get creeps like that around here.

Would you be able to recognize him?

Yeah, she said she'll recognize him if she sees him again, right?

Ah... Well, we'll see.

Anyway, it's better if you don't go home in this situation.

KUMARAN: You'll be here, right? We'll look into it.

I'll be right back. Ah...

No, I'll go.

[Wincing in pain]

KUMARAN:Moley, just stay there for a bit.

Sit down...

Lift your leg up.

Keep it here. Hmm...

[Anju wincing]

Don't massage it. It'll hurt more if you do.

Don't move a muscle. I'll be right back.

You stay here. I'll be back in a minute.

Mmm...

[Beating the egg]

There's no fracture. It's just a sprain from the fall.

It'll be fine in a couple of days.

[Fire crackling]

Keep this bandage on until I tell you.

Just don't get it wet.

Mmm...

[Ripping the fabric]

[Plastic cover crinkles]

He's not troublesome, right?

Nah... He's one of us. A decent fella!

Need a hand? ANJU: No...

[Spade clinking]

[Broom rustling]

Try coming this way...

KUMARAN: Hey, be careful, okay?

Did you reach the other spot? Ah!

There... Ah... Ah! Pesky little ants...

Oh... Why won't they just go away?

Am I doing the right thing here, Kumaraetta?

Yeah, yeah, it's right! Did you paint there?

Not this...

I meant about Anju.

Mmm?

Oh...

It's no big deal.

You're just trying to save a young girl's life, right?

There's no wrong in keeping a few things quiet for that.

Not everyone would understand what she's been through.

KUMARAN: And even if we catch him, we’d just be paying for his meals in jail.

But if we get our hands on him, we can make sure

he never does anything like this again.

KUMARAN: Hmm...

What to do?

Poor girl...

[Crickets chirping]

[Indistinct chattering]

There are still people over there. Mmm...

The festival's not over yet?

Nah, Kumaraettan said the ceremony's going on all week.

Can I ask you something? Mmm?

Not many people would take such a big risk for me, even if they knew me well.

So, why did you help me?

Honestly... I'm not sure.

In that moment, I had no idea what was right or wrong, or what I should do.

I'm someone who's never made a decision on my own in life.

But when I saw you like that,

I just felt helpless.

I've just been a burden, haven't I?

Nah...

Don't dwell on it.

What's done is done.

That's life... It just... It just keeps moving forward.

Sometimes, to move on to the next second,

we have to deliberately let some things go.

That's my policy.

[Sarcastic chuckle]

What?

Everyone has their fair share of problems...

So, just try to live the rest of your life.

[Drawing a deep breath]

I want to truly live.

I don't have time to sit and worry about my problems.

If I'm stuck worrying, my parents could suffer.

I want to take care of them.

I'm all they've got.

There's so much I still have to do.

I think I'll go and get some sleep now.

Overthinking will just make things worse.

[Wind whooshing]

Wait a minute...

[Flies buzzing]

[Gagging]

[Coughing]

[Gasping]

We have to act fast, or this is going to blow up in our faces.

What should we do? Isn't Kumaraettan coming tomorrow?

[Flies buzzing]

[Spade thuds]

[Huffing]

[Taking a deep breath]

[Groaning]

[Soil rumbles]

[Woodem block thumps]

[Panting]

[Water splashing]

KUMARAN:Mone...

Ah!

Oh, great! Still hobbling around on that bad leg, huh?

You'll never heal if you keep walking like that, you know!

Mmm...

By the way, where is he?

Umm... He's out back. Ah!

[Straining]

I came to get theVakkathi (Sickle). Ah!

All these have gone dull. Ah...

I'm going into town anyway. Ah... Ah...

So I thought I'd get it sharpened. Ah...

We can start work on the upper groves tomorrow, then.

Hmm...

[Grunting]

KUMARAN: Dear god...

KUMARAN: And... Huh?

Don't stand on that leg too long. Go sit down somewhere,Moley.

Ah, I don't walk around much, Kumaraetta...

I only got up because I heard you.

Ah!

[Utensil clinking]

[Water sloshing]

[Kumaran sniffing]

What's that smell?

Kumaraetta... Huh?

There's a dead bandicoot rat back there.

That's the smell.

Those pesky things are nothing but trouble!

Ah... What did you do with it?

KUMARAN: Did you get rid of it?

Ah, Pavichettan went to take care of it.

Mmm... If you're bothered by the smell,

there's someKunthirikkam (Frankincense) inside. Light some, it will help.

Or else, I'll get it for you now. No, it's okay.

I'll do it myself. Ah...

Alright, then. I'll get going. Tell him, okay?

Oh, there you are. How did it go? Did you bury it?

Not yet, but I've taken care of it so there won't be any smell.

Good. As long as it doesn't stink.

I told you about thisVakkathi, right?

Ah... I came to get it.

Well then, see you tomorrow. Ah...

Alright, I'm off then. Okay.

[Retching]

[Coughing]

[Hymns playing over megaphone]

[Puking]

[Plate scrapes]

[Water splashing]

[Scrubbing]

[Rain pattering]

Kunthirikkam must've taken care of that smell, right?

Yeah, good thing we had it here.

Ah...

KUMARAN: Try walking a bit now.

[Huffing]

PAVI: Here, let me.

[Huffing and Puffing]

[Generator starting]

[Straining]

[Water splashing]

[Gate creaks]

[Grunting]

[Heavy breathing]

[Keys jingling]

[Chair creaking]

Where are you going?

What the hell are you doing? Don't you think Kumaraettan will notice? Gimme that...

I've had enough! I can't take it anymore.

I'm done hiding and keeping watch!

Don't make me say things I'll regret. Gimme that key!

Where are you going? I told you I want to go home!

Lower your tone!

Don't make a scene after all this. Kumaraettan is right there.

Let him hear! I'll tell him everything if he doesn't hear it.

What's gotten into you?

I just looked at you, is that the problem?

Yes, it is!

That's exactly it! Don't look at me like that.

Uhh... Like what?

[Explosive crack]

[Footsteps receding]

[Bird hooting]

[Humming a song]

[Utensils clinking]

[Pouring the porridge]

I asked around about everything you mentioned.

I told you, there's no one suspicious around here,

just simple folks.

Maybe, it's someone from outside who's been staying here,

or perhaps it's a complete outsider.

If that's the case, finding them won't be easy.

[Slurping the porridge]

Don't worryMoley, we'll figure this out.

Once we catch him, he's done for!

Now, eat up.

[Groaning]

[Panting]

ANJU: Ahh... Leave me!

Leave me please...

Please!

[Choking]

[Gasping]

Come on, enough of sitting alone.

PAVI: Let's go for a walk.

Get up.

Come on, I've got something planned. Let's go!

[Footsteps receding]

[Water falling]

[Water burbling]

Sorry...

I didn't think straight yesterday.

It's okay.

[Water splashing]

ANJU: What's the deal with Kumaraettan? PAVI: What do you mean?

ANJU: I mean, seeing someone his age working so hard, walking all this way...

PAVI: Oh, that?

Just like you're worried about your father, he is concerned about his son.

His son's bedridden because of an illness.

He can't go to work.

That's why Kumaraettan has to work so hard, even at his age.

He's got other problems at home too.

I try not to pry much.

Sometimes, asking just makes it harder for them.

[Scraping the fish]

Ah, you caught some, didn't you?

Yeah.

[Water splashing]

Even if they're small, they'll taste great fried!

[Pavi chuckling]

[Phone ringing]

Kumaretta, your phone! KUMARAN: Yeah, yeah, I heard it.

Who could it be?

Hello?

Ah, Rajesh...

Tell me, Rajesh...

Oh, you're coming in the morning?

Ah...

When you come,

make sure you buy everything you need.

Don't show up and say you forgot

this and that, and go back like last time!

Got it?

Ah...

Ah, okay... Okay!

KUMARAN: See you tomorrow then.

Tomorrow, it is!

So, I've got someone coming tomorrow to fix the bathroom pipe.

I've been after him for quite some time.

Don't know what's up with him. Anyway, he said he'll come tomorrow.

He's a really good worker, but you have to keep an eye on him or he won't finish the job.

Some people are just like that.

I'm going now. See you tomorrow.

Mmm...

KUMARAN: Alright, take care.

[Crickets chirping]

[Hymns playing over megaphone]

Soon, there'll be fewer people around. That's when we move.

What if someone spots us?

We have to try to avoid that.

There's no point in waiting any longer. Or else, everything will be ruined.

PAVI: Grab the torch. We need to find a good spot.

Go!

[Huffing]

[Spade thuds]

[Barrel creaks]

[Both panting]

[Coir rustling]

[Swishing]

[Barrel thuds]

VILLAGER: Careful where you step, alright? Could be creepy crawlies or something out here.

It's so dark. Will we even make it there in time?

Yeah, yeah, watch your step. We should have left sooner!

Here, hold this. Mmm...

[Sniffing]

Hey! Mmm?

What's that rotten smell?

VILLAGER: Maybe something died here... Come on, hurry up.

We're already late.

Come on, let's go. It's so dark here.

Mmm... I swear I smell something!

VILLAGER: Slow down, will you?

Just hurry up, man.

We'll be there just in time... Mmm... Come, come!

[Leaves crunching]

[Keyboard clacking]

Are you writing?

No, not really.

I was thinking of heading back tomorrow.

[Chair scrapes]

I told you, I need to go back.

As soon as possible.

The longer I stay here,

the more I overthink about unnecessary things.

I need to find a job.

And just like you said,

it's time to let go of

all those useless thoughts.

Why aren't you saying anything?

If that's what you think is best, then you should go.

[Inaudible conversation]

You have my number, right?

Call me. Mmm...

I'll fix my phone once I leave here.

Mmm?

Mmm...
