[song playing from a Bluetooth speaker]

Where is he?

-Huh? -Where is he?

Hey!

-Where is he? -No clue.

Didn't I tell you

not to give it to him?

He might've lost it.

Go and check, man.

Can't you go and check?

Can't you see I'm having a smoke?

Hey... Hey...

Go see, man.

Damn it! Yeah, go on puffing away!

He's probably dozed off somewhere!

Roby!

Where the hell has he gone?

Ro...

Hey, Roby!

What are you staring at?

Huh, what is there?

There's nothing there. Come here.

Come on, man. Scaring everyone over nothing!

There's nothing there.

Come here. Come on, walk.

Hey! Hey!

Stop!

Ugh, stop!

Brother... Brother, please stop.

Can you please drop me near the main road?

-Oh, no, I'm not headed that way. -Please, brother. I'm running late.

I'm keeping this here, okay?

-Alright. -Yeah, going.

-By the way, -Hmm?

What's the rate for nutmeg these days?

Ah, the rates are terrible!

Cardamom is in demand now.

What to say!

-And the heat this year is too much. -Yes.

The cardamom just dried up as soon as it bloomed.

Oh, dear.

Eh?

How many kilos is this?

-What did you say? -How many kilos is this?

-Must be around three and a half kilos. -Three and a half?

No use, though.

The prices have just crashed.

Stop... stop...

-Right here. Stop. -Don't jump, I'll stop.

Good God, Jesus!

Eh? Doesn't she want this?

[hums a Malayalam song]

Sister... isn't 'family' part of a conditioning?

Aren't all these God's decisions?

He saw it wasn't good for a man to be alone.

So, He gave him Eve, a woman.

Felix.

A soulmate.

Wouldn't that only enhance your journey towards its purpose?

But isn't the basic structure of a family rooted in

possessiveness?

The husband possesses the wife.

The wife possesses the husband.

Together, they possess the children.

If a person gets possessed like that...

his freedom,

dignity...

Isn't it just another form of conquest?

Didn't you two

love each other deeply once?

What happened then?

Like everything else,

love has an expiry date, too, Sister.

You meet someone,

fall for them,

stay in a relationship for a bit,

and then,

it comes to an end.

Just like a beautiful flower

that blooms and then withers away.

Felix,

you do know that the contract of marriage

is meant to be for eternity, don't you?

It's forever.

I'm on a search for my inner peace.

Something deeper...

something spiritual...

That means...

like self-discovery.

This isn't self-discovery.

It's just running away from responsibilities.

Haven't you seen the Malayalam movie 'Chinthavishtayaya Shyamala'?

This is exactly that.

Jancy...

maybe having a child

will make him act responsibly.

That's what everyone keeps saying.

"Things will get better after the child."

I'm asking because I genuinely don't know.

Is this the only solution to fix family issues?

And, for a divine conception,

I'm no Virgin Mary.

Do you know how long it's been

since he looked at me with love?

Or even touched me?

I feel so lonely.

Remember our old days?

They were enough, right, Celine?

No... Sister Claris.

This robe doesn't suit you at all!

Oh, and yours is just perfect, is it?

Shiny, aren't you a local?

-Yes. -Then?

The biggest thief in this town.

Thankavila Peter. And you didn't recognise him?

Aren't you ashamed, Shiny?

Sir, I didn't recognise him.

When I saw him sitting on a scooter

with a helmet on, I thought...

he's a very caring human being.

Jancy, sit down.

You realise what you did could get you suspended, right?

It just sort of happened, sir.

-He also took my three kilos of nutmeg. -Great!

Jancy, what are you up to today?

That POCSO case from yesterday, sir.

I need to go collect the scene mahazar.

-Sir. -What's it?

We've located him.

-Whom? Peter? -Yes, he is in the barn.

He stores the stolen goods in the barn,

then loads them onto a goods vehicle and and sells them in town.

-A 'dedicated' farmer. -Yeah, he told me he's a farmer too.

Brilliant!

-Jancy, we should catch him today. -Okay, sir.

Shiny, go with her.

Okay, sir.

Go.

Damn it! She said it was three and a half.

It isn't even three!

Tricked me as well!

Is it over?

Shucks... Aha!

Peter...

Peter...

-This is me. -Who is it? I'm coming.

Open it!

Open it.

-Back side. -This way. This way.

Stop there! Hey!

Stop!

Don't tell them. Please don't tell.

He came this way...

-He should be here. -You, witch! I'll deal with you later!

-Hey! -There he is! Come. Run.

-Sir, cover the right. -Then I'll take the left.

I've got a lump on my back. Don't touch me there.

No. Don't beat me.

Oh, no!

She beat me... Oh, mother...

We'll get the divorce soon, right?

Of course!

We've just sent the notice.

Let it reach there. You'll definitely get a divorce.

I'll call you.

I've filed the petition for you to see your daughter.

This has been dragging on for ages. Will we see any progress?

Then, go ahead and argue it yourself, sir.

-Hmph! -Don't get angry. Drink your juice.

Sir, you're aware of the case's current status.

Sir, how will things work if you come whenever you please?

-It's because I'm tied up with work. -Tied up with work, huh?

Be present for the next hearing, no matter what.

Don't come to me with excuses later.

Also, don't worry thinking about your daughter.

If she says she wants to meet you, the court will allow it.

That's not needed. I don't want my child taken to court.

Eh? Then you don't want to see her?

It's not that. I do.

Yes, you want to.

Sir, they've only got temporary custody.

The ball will reach our court as well.

-Have been saying it for a while. -Okay, right?

-Okay, then. It'll go the way I said. -Yes, sir.

-Don't forget the date. -Your fee?

No, please. Give it here.

-How much was it? -You mean madam's?

-Yes, hers. -3,240 rupees.

Three thousand...?

-She has an account here. -It seems she drinks a lot of juice.

-Got PhonePe, right? -It's over there, sir.

Do you pay taxes?

-Come on. Get down. -I am getting down, sir.

That's the recovered item.

Come on, sign.

-Sir. -Here, right?

Sabu sir, what's the update on that bathroom repair?

-Madam? -No, thanks.

Tomorrow, huh? You've been saying that for weeks!

-Saying this for ages! -Sister here...

Sir...

Where's the other paper?

Give it here.

-When? Been saying the same thing forever! -Will you let me go?

Did we catch you to let you go, huh?

-How long have you been storing those spices? -What's it?

That is from my farming.

-Shall I leave then? -When did you come?

Just now.

Where was it this time?

These guys caught me for nothing...

Can't you do a job and earn a living?

-Going to gobble the snack! -Damn! Smells yum.

Sir, 40 kilos of cardamom,

34 kilos of pepper,

28 kilos of coffee beans,

eight rubber sheets and a Bluetooth speaker.

Was there a bottle of Scotch with that Bluetooth speaker?

Yes, sir. But the bottle was empty.

It was from the retired judge's house.

He has been chewing my head off.

Fasten the procedures and present him before the court.

-By the way, Jancy... -Sir?

Jancy, you should join the night duty today.

Shyam's mother-in-law passed away.

He will be away for two days.

Mm. Okay, sir.

Sir. Hello!

Was it Queen Jancy who chased down Peter?

Course it was!

Chased and nicked him, full filmy style!

Pfft. All for show.

Why take out your hatred for your missus on other women?

They are all the same.

What's the update on your court visit?

What update?

The hearing's been pushed to another date.

Now I've got to plan another trip.

Pointless! I'm done.

If you guys don't want to live together,

isn't it better to get a divorce?

That won't work, sir.

Haven't you seen me running around like mad?

Let her do a bit of that now.

At least you'll both get some peace after that.

Peace, huh?

I've even forgotten what that feels like.

Or let her give me my daughter back.

I'll sign whatever they want.

But now, just to see my own child,

I've to fall at her feet.

Let that be sorted first.

We will see the rest later.

Sir, does your wife ever suspect you?

I hope not.

That's my suspicion, too.

Buzz off!

Sir, you obey every word of your wife's, right?

Yes, I do. So what?

That's why she doesn't doubt you.

You are still living as a slave.

You haven't even realised it, have you?

This fellow will never turn out right. Not in this life.

Sad!

Shall I leave then?

Get everything your wife has asked you to.

Sure.

Damn, should join for duty now!

I've got night duty today.

Food is in the fridge.

Just reheat it.

Ugh, why isn't time flying?

Where is madam?

She's about to leave. Will be here now.

Listen, Hareesh. Let me tell you something.

Don't mess around and bring more cases in, okay?

We're still slogging over the FIRs from this morning!

I'm telling you.

I'm just a humble constable.

What can I do? The officer orders,

and I simply follow.

You're still a constable because you keep skipping the tests.

Go write the test first. Then you can preach.

Oh, dear... I'll just go on like this.

-Yeah, sure. -Go on scribbling.

My dear sir, I...

-Hareesh, you are on night duty, right? -Yes, sir.

-Then come. -Okay, sir.

-I'll go then. -Go on, then.

-Where are you headed? -Sir... duty...

Don't you need the torch and breath analyser?

Yes, sir. Will get it now.

Torch and net for what? Catching frogs, hmph!

The day is ruined!

-Could've taken the Paton tank as well! -Exactly!

-Looks like they're heading for battle! -Yeah.

Oh, already sat in!

Shall we go, sir?

Sir...

-Going to the tea stall first, right? -What for?

I'm hungry...

-Sir, shall I leave? -Wait there.

No pollution certificate.

And no helmet.

-Where's your helmet? -Blow into this.

I forgot.

You had time to tie that on your head, but not wear a helmet, eh?

Family, right? Go.

Untie that.

Sir, shall I go?

What's the urgency?

Go to the station, clear the fine, then leave.

Go on.

It'll be alright if he dabs some petrol on it.

Where are you off to?

What's there?

-A tiger. -Tiger?

-Where? -When he flashed the torch from there,

-saw two glowing eyes. -Tiger flashed a light at you?

It's in there, sir.

We shouldn't get down, sir. The Forest Department will handle this.

Where did you see it?

-Over there. -Where?

-In that orchard. -Didn't you inform the Forest officials?

Yes, sir.

-Did you tell them the location? -Yes, we did.

Then they will come and check.

Don't hang around here for too long. Go home.

-Leave. Else will become the tiger's meal. -Yes, let's go.

-Sir? -What's there?

Hey! HEY!

Hey! Stop there!

Stop the vehicle! Hey!

Stop it!

HEY!

Sir?

Sir, don't get down!

It's a marsh.

Oh, no!

He's nowhere to be seen, Hareesh.

[phone ringing]

It is the CI.

-Sir? -I've been calling you for a while.

What's your location?

Sir... we are at Poyilkkavu Junction.

Why didn't you answer the set when I called?

Sir, we were checking vehicles.

Head to Manthara Palli right away.

We've got a burn case.

-Ask the SI to call me once you arrive. -Okay, sir.

The CI asked us to get to Manthara Palli right away.

And what about this?

We've got a burn victim there.

He'll find his way out.

-Damn it! -Come, sir.

Sir, come fast.

Sir, this looks like a shady business.

He'll find his way out. Come on, sir.

Shouldn't we report it?

You know what happened to the former SI, Jinto, right?

He chased a biker who didn't stop when flagged.

The bike crashed into a post. The rider died.

And the SI lost his job.

He's sitting at home now.

Sir, no need to report this.

Sir, I was the one who called. I'm the ward member here.

-When did this happen? -It's been a while.

-Eh? -Nearly half an hour.

Then why hasn't she been taken to the hospital yet?

-The burns were severe. -Come on, walk.

-How old is the girl? -Eighteen.

Move aside.

-What was she studying? -She just cleared Class 12.

-What does her father do? -He's a worker at the estate.

Do you know any reason why she'd do something like this?

I think she was in a relationship.

Sir, here. It's inside.

Ugh! Is she dead, Hareesh?

Yes, sir.

Shouldn't we inform the CI?

Who's going to guard the body all night?

-You? -No way!

Yes, sir. Okay, sir.

Hareesh, get the vehicle. We need to move the body to the hospital.

Sir, we can only take it in an ambulance.

If we take it in ours, the body could get scratches.

What's the issue, sir? Can't you take her in a government vehicle?

-Why give me the cold stare? -Hey!

I've seen this way too many times.

Sir, take that child to the hospital.

Keep quiet, man.

Madam, I'll call for the ambulance now.

Brother, we need a few people.

And a big plastic sheet.

-Make it fast. -Yes, I will.

-Get some of their details. -Oh, my dear...

-Sunil. -What are your initials?

K.P.

-Get it. Cover it and hold. -Oh, my child!

-My daughter... -Move. Move.

Move aside, brother.

Come. Move away!

Come on.

Sir, be careful.

Oh, my dear...

People who are standing there move aside.

My dear...

Move! Move.

Sir, she was brought in dead.

The body will be shifted to the mortuary shortly.

Oh, my dear!

What a damned day!

What more is left to happen?

The body is in the morgue.

The inquest will be tomorrow. Will see then.

-Oh, the girl's mother? -Yes, sir.

You're the one who caused all these problems!

I told you back then to report it.

Look. They've filled it up with soil!

Sir, what exactly happened here?

He might've walked out straight away.

Did you see him walk away?

Sir, did you see him being buried?

Sir, this is something only the two of us know right now.

What about the person in the car? Don't they know?

-What's it, man? -It was a woman in the car.

Some immoral business.

She'd have complained by now.

We've seen plenty of such cases.

Sir, come. Let's not waste our time.

Get in, sir.

He left last night, sir.

Hasn't come back since.

Has he ever gone off like this before?

No, sir. This is the first time.

He always comes home, no matter where he goes.

Shall I show just one side, sir?

We'll look into it. Let me speak to the CI, okay?

-What is it? -I'll ask.

Sir, what was that?

She's been sitting here since morning.

We don't even get time to look for missing people,

-and here she is for a missing dog! -Oh, a dog...

What's this, sir?

Where are you off to, Felix?

Oh… no set plans or anything.

What do you mean by no plans?

When are you coming back?

I will.

Sir.

Go.

What is it, sir?

That...

That car...

won't it appear

on any of the CCTVs along that route?

Sir, many cars pass through there.

Then... how...?

Not many cars go that way at that time.

Sir, that route barely has any CCTV cameras.

We'll only catch it if it passes through the main junction.

We should still check the footage, Hareesh.

Damn! She needs everyone to know this, going behind cameras!

Sir, why are we chasing this?

What if an issue comes up?

Sir, no issues have come up so far.

Don't overthink and turn this into an issue.

-What the heck! -Sir.

Yes, Najeeb.

Sit down.

Sir, this is Yasmin.

Didn't I tell you when I called earlier?

Wife of journalist Ansar Ali.

Since when has he been missing?

I went to bed

around 11 or 12 the night before yesterday.

He was at home then.

Um... when I woke up in the morning, I didn't see him.

I tried calling him, but he didn't answer.

Recently,

had he spoken about any exclusive stories?

No.

He hasn't mentioned anything of that sort.

His friends and family tried calling him multiple times. No response.

We also checked all the usual places he might go.

He hasn't reached anywhere

and hasn't contacted anyone.

Do one thing.

Write a complaint and give it to the office.

Sir, you know...

Ansar is someone who has many enemies.

Don't worry.

We are here.

Let's find him.

Go on. Don't worry.

Thank you, sir.

He's being remanded, right?

Yes, sir. Fourteen days.

How is it, man? Feeling good?

Yes, of course!

It's really good in jail.

Want to join me?

Trying to wriggle out of those cuffs, are you? Sit tight!

Three killed in two automobile accidents in Idukki.

Two were in an accident involving a bike and a lorry in Chettukuzhi and...

In the populated areas around Kumily-Vandanmedu,

a herd of bison was found.

The images were captured by the CCTV installed by the Forest Department.

In the context of rising wild animal attacks,

the Forest Department advised people to be cautious.

To prevent the illegal constructions taking place

at the eco-sensitive zones in Idukki...

Jancy...

As per laws of building construction,

-these places... -I was...

thinking of taking a break.

This stay will affect them.

-Rain damage intensifies in the district. -Break?

-Yes. -Rain and winds will continue

To change this current lifestyle of mine,

and

to detach from everything for some time.

And your job?

Job...

I'll get leave.

If not, then I'll resign.

What are you even saying, Felix?

Do you realise how hard people fight just to hold onto their jobs

to build a stable life, Felix?

I resigned because I was fed up with all the struggles and hardships.

Eh?

If you have decided everything,

why come to me pretending to discuss?

Hello.

-Hi. -What is it, sir?

Can I get the full CCTV footage from two days ago?

-What's the matter, sir? -There's a missing person's case.

-Okay. Can I see it now? -Yes.

Bye!

-Do one thing. -What is it, sir?

Copy it to this.

-I'll come and collect it. -Okay, sir.

Brother, please stop.

I'm Hitha Hareesh's father.

I'll drop her off.

Hitha Hareesh doesn't take the school bus anymore.

-She doesn't? -No.

-Sorry, then. -Joppan, start the vehicle.

-Ah, sir. -Hello.

I need to check your CCTV footage.

What's it, sir? Any problem?

There's been a theft nearby.

-Need to check that. -Why not? We can check it.

Muthu...

I'm from Anakkara station.

What is it, sir?

I want to see the footage from this camera.

That's a dummy, sir.

It's just a camera. There's no connection.

Ah, fake setup, is it?

Isn't it nice to think that someone's watching from above, sir?

Yeah, it is.

Okay, carry on.

[phone rings]

-Sir. -What's the update, Hareesh?

I checked the footage on the route through which vehicles pass.

Such a vehicle didn't pass through.

Still, which way could that car have gone?

Sir, I'll call you in a minute.

Kerala Forest and Wildlife Department. Dangerous Zone. Be careful.

Sir, didn't you get a transfer?

Might come this month.

That won't be possible, sir.

Sir, just need to check the CCTV footage near 6 Mile.

Sir, whenever we come to you,

your department says a line.

"We need orders from above."

So, you go and get an order from above, sir.

I'll do that, sir.

The bike was stolen from retired judge Thampan sir's house.

Jancy sir is in charge of the case.

Her probation's done?

The order will come soon.

We can't give permission just like that.

There are a few formalities.

Ask her to call me. I'll see what can be done.

I will tell her right away, sir.

-Thank you, sir. -Okay.

She told me to ask you to call her.

[phone rings]

Hello. I'm Jancy.

I'm the SI here.

Come in.

Please sit down.

What's the kid's name?

Rehan.

I'll be right back.

Please sit.

Yasmin's family?

I only have a brother.

They are abroad.

Ansar's family is in Kozhikode.

Where do you work, Yasmin?

I'm not working.

Do you

have any other vehicles

other than the car parked outside?

No, just that one.

The night he went missing,

did anything suspicious

or any strange conversations happen?

No, nothing like that.

I went to sleep around 11.

Ansar was sitting outside, reading something.

Did Ansar mention

going out to meet someone?

Any other personal issues?

Have you noticed Ansar struggling with anything like that?

If there was something like that, he would've told me.

Thank you, Yasmin.

Let me know if there's anything.

Please forward a bit.

A little more.

Good? Isn't this enough?

Can you zoom in, please?

This one, right?

Is that good?

Yeah... can you give me a pen and paper?

Yes, one second.

Sir, here.

Thank you.

-Alright, then. -Okay.

Sir, didn't I tell you back then it was a girl?

Found her. Her name's Anjali.

I went to Ansar's house.

What the hell are you doing, sir?

Trying to drag others into this trouble?

Don't talk too much.

It's that woman's husband under that soil.

And we're the ones responsible.

They have a small child.

She doesn't even have a job to raise that child!

Do you get that?

Sir, have you already confirmed that he's dead?

Sir, just think like a cop.

This is a case where even the SP is directly involved.

If they find out we went behind a case we're not assigned,

it'll be a huge problem.

Hareesh, I don't even know what to say anymore.

Whatever it is, what we did was totally wrong!

What exactly do you think we did wrong?

A guy ran off and jumped into a marsh.

-So what? -Sir.

The CI is calling you.

-Sir... the CI... -A body's been found at Odamedu.

Let's go. Start the vehicle.

Move. Move away!

Move.

Yeah, over here. Lay it out properly.

Spread it out.

Yes, that side, too.

Now lower him gently.

-Sir. - A two-day old corpse was discovered.

Sir, this way.

The corpse is yet to be identified.

Sir, this way, please. That route's full of leeches.

Sir, don't just stand here, wide-eyed.

We need to handle this skilfully.

Hareesh...

My limbs and legs are shivering.

I'll fall unconscious right here.

Sir, don't look scared and mess everything up.

The DySP is coming.

Don't let him see it.

Oi! No videos.

Step back, all of you.

Everyone, please step back.

-No filming. -Move back.

Move back.

Brother, move away.

Brother, move aside.

The ground's slippery.

Walk carefully.

Sir.

I've asked them to take blood samples for DNA comparison.

Also, we are looking into nail clippings and hair samples.

Sir,

shall we go there rather than standing here?

The person has been identified.

If I receive any other information, I will call you.

Sir, what's this? What are you doing?

15 missed calls?

If I had picked up, wouldn't it have been recorded?

What if someone saw us talking?

-So what if they did, Hareesh? -You might not care, sir.

But for me, it's a different story.

I won't be dragged into this circus.

What kind of person are you?

He ended up like this because of us.

Spare me the lectures, sir.

No point arguing we're in the force. They'll lock us up.

You've been scaring me with that line for a while now.

-I've decided to surrender in this case. -Brilliant! Go ahead.

I've got to be in court anyway. I need to see my daughter.

Great! It's the CI.

-Hello, sir? -Where are you, Hareesh?

-Sir, I'm around. -Reach the Police Club immediately.

-But I've to go to court to-- -Don't argue.

Just get here.

Yes, sir. I'll come right away.

What's the matter?

He wants me to reach the Police Club immediately.

Shit! Maybe they've figured out it's us.

How will they not? You've been overacting like mad!

Don't worry. You'll receive the call soon.

Don't mess things up more once we're there. I'm leaving.

[phone rings]

You are the landowner, right?

-Nandakishore? -Yes, sir.

Sit down.

Before getting any permission,

who gave you the idea

to fill up the bog?

Sir, that plot came to me in the partition.

Nearly half of it is marshland.

So, the contractor told me... if I filled it in,

there wouldn't be any issues.

So, if the contractor says so,

you'll just do anything?

Oh, no, sir! It's not like that at all.

But earlier,

you filled in another plot, didn't you?

That wasn't me, sir. That was my elder brother.

Oh, so it's a habit.

And if someone objects, you deal with him your way.

-Right? -No, sir.

You did an illegal construction

violating a government order

on ecologically sensitive land. When Ansar found out,

he informed the public.

So, you carried a grudge against him.

That night, on learning about the bog being filled up,

Ansar reached there. But you beat him to death,

drowned him in dirt, and buried him under the soil. Right?

But things went slightly out of control.

You didn't expect the court to order removal of the fill

and restoration of the land.

-Right? -It isn't like that, sir.

Then how is it, sir?

Tell me.

How did you kill him?

Sir, I only gave the contract to fill the land.

I know nothing else, sir.

Alright.

Fine. You may go.

Don't even think of running off to your sister's place in Muscat.

Be available whenever you're summoned.

I will be here, sir.

Okay, sir.

-How much is it? -100 rupees.

Hmm. Great!

With a helmet on an autorickshaw!

-How are things? -What do you expect?

My hands were trembling. Couldn't even ride the scooter.

Parked it right on the road and came.

They're cops. They'll ask from all angles.

-Whatever they ask, just say we saw nothing. -Hey, come here.

Sir...

Shucks!

Don't just stand here stressing yourself.

We didn't do anything wrong.

Keep that in mind.

They would've taken our tower location by now.

They know we were at that spot.

So what if we were? We were on night patrol, weren't we?

Then what's the matter?

Let it be!

One... One minute.

Hello. Did you get the person?

His daughter, right?

Sure, right?

Okay.

Sir, you are being called inside.

Come.

Sir.

The night Ansar Ali was murdered,

you were on night duty, right, Hareesh?

Yes, sir.

Around 11:00 p.m.,

Hareesh passed that road in the jeep.

-Right? -Yes, sir.

But the Cyber Cell says something else, Hareesh.

Umm... sir...

It wasn't just Hareesh,

I was there, too, that night.

That night, when I called you

around 11:10 p.m. to inform you about the 174 at Manthara,

no one responded on the wireless.

I even tried calling Jancy on the phone.

But you didn't answer.

When I called again, Hareesh attended the call.

Right at the spot where the incident took place.

Rasheed.

As per the post-mortem report,

judging by the body's rigor mortis,

the time of death was 52 hours before

the post-mortem.

Which places the time of death on 14 June,

between 11:30 p.m. and 12:30 a.m.

-This person-- -That's fine.

Sir, while we were heading back after checking,

the vehicle stalled. You called us while we were looking into it.

It stalled right at that spot?

No, sir.

It had stalled a couple of times before that, too.

Hareesh, when I called, didn't you say you were checking vehicles?

Yes, sir. We were attending to the broken-down vehicle.

Didn't you go towards the Kumily side around 10:00 p.m.?

-Sir. -There are two ledgers there.

You haven't signed either of them.

Sir, we were on that way.

It was on the pocket road just before the junction

that we were checking vehicles.

-Jancy. -Sir.

Please wait outside.

Hareesh...

You both seem to have quite the chemistry.

Anytime we ask a question to your superior, it's you who answers.

There's nothing like that, sir.

That day in the forest…

with your senior officer...

what did you go to check, Hareesh?

Sir...

You should ask your daughter the same question when you get home.

What was she doing in that car

with Ansar Ali at that hour?

Sir...

-Jobin. -Sir.

Don't let either of them leave until I say so.

-Take their phones. -Sir, I need to appear before the court.

Sir, please tell him. You knew of this.

-Hareesh, give me your phone. -I've to go to court to pick up my daughter.

Give me your phone. -Sir, please tell him.

I will. Sit here.

Sir, my daughter is waiting there.

Sir, please tell him.

Sir!

[phone rings]

[phone continues to ring]

I don't want food.

The rotting stench of his corpse

is still in my nose.

You eat.

I'm not hungry.

Stop.

That day, you and him...

what were you two plotting inside the car, at midnight?

Anjali, he's dead.

And he was last seen alive in your car.

That alone is enough

to put you behind bars.

Do you know why I haven't done that?

People will ask me if this is how

I raised my daughter.

That's why.

How many times have I told Sankaran

to cut down the plantain bunch

near the east corner?

Who cares anymore!

Didn't your father scold you

for playing in the rain?

Come here, granny's little one.

[phone rings]

[phone rings again]

Sir?

Come in, sir.

What happened?

Are you okay?

Jancy,

didn't I tell you,

I'm choosing my path?

I don't know when I'll reach it…

or when I'll find it.

But

this journey of ours,

let's end it.

Let me find my way.

Show the other side.

We need to see the footage from 6 Mile.

But, sir, this is all we've got in here.

But we saw the footage the other day, didn't we?

Sir, do one thing.

Ask madam when she comes.

Oh.

Great, sir!

Sir.

Sir.

What is it, Hareesh?

Sir, that footage... it's missing.

-Footage? -The one I checked the other day.

-Missing? -Yes.

It might've gotten deleted.

What sort of logic is that?

Hareesh saw the footage yesterday.

-Right, Hareesh? -Yes, sir.

Madam,

save your logic for your police station.

Don't bring it here.

Both of you, don't waste time. Get going.

Madam, I swear. I saw it here.

I know it, Hareesh.

He made them delete it.

-Dammit! -That was our only proof.

That's gone, too!

Still… why is the DySP coming after us?

Isn't it obvious?

Who exposed his daughter's affair? Us.

But doesn't he know we'll spill everything if he sets us up?

He will go ahead and say we made it all up.

We've got no proof to prove otherwise.

He destroyed the only evidence we had.

Otherwise,

either he or his daughter might have something to do

with this murder.

If that's the case, he'll bury this whole thing.

Or he will trap us.

[on police set] All Stations. All Stations, please note.

There is a message from Group 30. Take note.

Officers working at Anakkara PS,

-Pull over. -Officers working at Anakkara PS

Probationary Sub-Inspector Jancy Kurian

and Civil Police Officer Hareesh,

Probationary Sub-Inspector Jancy Kurian and Civil Police Officer Hareesh,

for their extreme negligence during the course of duty

for their extreme negligence during the course of duty

are hereby suspended... are hereby suspended...

from today, 20/06/2024

20/06/2024

pending departmental enquiry.

The DPS informs you of this.

Both of them, from this time onwards

should be relieved from any official duty.

should be relieved from any official duty.

Message passed. Over.

Sir, if Hareesh and Jancy

intentionally harmed him,

shouldn't there be a motive?

I don't think they have such an intention.

Hareesh won't go along with it, sir.

They are like arch-enemies, after all!

They've made Rasheed believe things are like that.

After all, we don't have any evidence against them.

We do.

Rasheed, do you know Jancy's husband

Felix?

No, sir.

While going through Ansar's call log

of the last month,

one of the numbers in there belongs to Felix.

He has called Felix several times.

Until a few days before

Ansar's death.

Not just that,

after finding Ansar's body,

Jancy's husband, Felix,

is missing.

Jancy hasn't reported it

anywhere until now.

Being a cop,

shouldn't we read all these together, Rasheed?

But sir...

What's it, man?

Feeling a soft corner for them?

I noticed it.

I sensed both of you've gotten into some mess.

Especially on seeing his behaviour.

This has become a trap now.

I told him many times to report it.

Then he jumped at me bragging about his experience.

Whose? His?

I wonder

why did the DySP's daughter, Anjali,

come to see Ansar at that time?

Will there be a reason?

What reason?

Both of them in the car were into--

They might've come to talk to each other as they were in love.

For our bad luck,

we bumped into it at the exact moment!

Jancy, hasn't Felix ever told you

anything about Ansar?

No, sir.

How Felix connects with Ansar

is something that I'm yet to make sense of.

Suresh sir is behind Felix anyway.

No doubt about that.

Hareesh, you know how he works, right?

He will cook up some fake evidence.

Because he has doubts,

he removed me from the case.

I'm behind the 174 that happened at Manthara.

You should be careful.

There's more going on than you think.

You know, right?

Suresh sir isn't exactly clean.

You should investigate on your own

and prove your innocence.

Otherwise, he will turn this suspension

into a dismissal.

This channel was Ansar's idea.

I just stood by his side. That's all.

How long have you known each other?

We have known each other

since we were students.

He was deeply committed to his work.

And his personal life?

Veena, do you know Anjali?

Anjali worked with us for a short while

at Bharat Vision.

Back then, she and Ansar had

feelings for each other.

Anjali's father wasn't quite happy about it.

Some issues happened.

And they broke up.

Why did Ansar move to Idukki?

Ansar was doing a story.

He moved there related to that.

What story?

I don't know that.

He doesn't disclose everything.

Were Ansar and Anjali in contact?

Mom...

What is it?

Mom, the police are here.

How many days has he been gone?

It's been 2-3 days, sir.

2-3 days?

-Five. -Five.

Which is his room?

That one, sir.

-Sir. -Hmm?

He was the last person the dead girl called.

Before matters get worse,

ask him to report. Understood?

Sir, we don't know where he is.

Is this his gang?

Yes, sir.

He was a studious child.

It's because of these wretched ones that his studies got ruined.

If you receive any information about him,

-inform us immediately. Got it? -I will, sir.

-Sir, he is an innocent soul. -Then ask him to come to the station.

Manju, I have Ansar Ali's post-mortem report with me now.

The cause of death, as per this, is

dirt and water entering his respiratory tract.

But there are bruises on his body from being beaten by a powerful weapon.

However, the police had hidden this so far.

It's been days since the body was found.

A few locals also suspect this isn't a natural death like us.

Let's ask them.

Brother, why do you say it isn't a natural death?

Many have fallen here before him.

Among them, only Ambrose died.

When he came to graze the buffalo,

-it ran and jumped into the pit. -Sir.

-Look. -Ambrose jumped in to save the buffalo.

But in desperation, the buffalo kicked him on his back,

and he went down.

So, you will only die if someone shoves you down?

Nobody else has died here other than that, sir.

What's your name?

So, he didn't just die; he was killed.

Yes, I live nearby, sir.

Who?

Why?

Hi, Anjali.

I'm SI Jancy Kurian.

I need to talk to Anjali privately.

I'm not interested in talking to anyone.

The person with Ansar in the car that night...

we know it was you, Anjali.

We talked to Veena.

I know nothing.

Anjali, please...

We are in suspension.

Ansar ran out of the car that day.

We didn't chase him.

You know that clear as day, Anjali.

You should help us to prove our innocence.

Anjali's father

is targeting us intentionally.

Maybe it is to save his daughter.

Please move.

-Anjali, please. Please listen to-- -Don't come after me anymore.

How long did you make me wait, bro?

Why are you waiting here? Didn't you start?

What about the information?

Come, man. Let's sit inside.

Give me a puff.

-Tell me. -Let's have a few drinks and talk. Come.

I can't see properly as I'm sober.

By the way, on the day you mentioned,

the DySP was present for the meeting.

It was an awareness programme

for migrant labourers.

-Every other officer was present. -Sir?

Ah, what are you drinking?

No, I have to leave soon.

-Then, the usual. Get it fast. -Okay, sir.

Are you sure? Is it something on record,

or did you actually see him?

Man, he was the main attendee.

He gave a grand speech in Hindi.

You are sure, right? You saw him, right?

Don't you watch YouTube?

Man, I've got some things to take care of.

I'll call you if there's something.

Man, is there any issue?

There are some issues. I will tell you.

I will call you.

What mess has he gotten into...

Hello? How are things?

Anjali isn't giving in. What about you?

He says that the DySP was present at the event.

We don't have a lead.

-What will we do? -Let's see.

There will be a way.

Okay.

What Dinkan says is that

Suresh sir wasn't in town that day.

There's a video of him attending an event in Kannur.

How did Jancy's meeting with Anjali go?

It doesn't look like it will work.

We can't blame her.

Why should she believe you guys?

You should now go to

the spot where you saw Ansar and Anjali together.

You might find some leads

if you search that place thoroughly.

Sir.

We have received a lead.

A report on the scams in the village offices of Kerala

by journalist Ansar Ali came out last month.

Here. It's in there.

The details of the villages are in there.

Felix is the village officer of Aanachaal.

Is the full story in here?

Sir, it's in two parts.

Enquire where the second part is.

-Sir. -Sir.

Sir.

Where did you file

Felix's missing case?

Sir, I didn't file a complaint.

Did Felix leave after telling you?

Jancy...

Haven't you learned the rules?

Is this Felix's handwriting?

Yes, sir.

Looks like a woman wrote it.

Sir!

-Doesn't he have another number? -No, sir.

Sir.

This is Felix's phone.

Correct?

Yes, sir.

The DySP and other officers are inside. The raid is going on.

We cannot say anything until we get crucial evidence.

Sir, did you find any evidence against Jancy?

I'm sad that things are moving in a way

that's bringing disgrace to the police department.

We have found significant evidence.

-Sir, does Jancy's husband, Felix, have... -Sir... so, in this case...

Regarding the murder of journalist Ansar Ali,

a search took place at Idukki Anakkara SI Jancy's house.

Crucial evidence has been found.

SI Jancy

came to see me the other day.

She didn't only ask about Ansar.

She asked about you as well.

DySP Suresh Kumar said.

What did she say?

Seems like she knows some things.

Those two officers...

I felt they were genuine.

We have found significant evidence.

Jancy's husband...

Also,

since your father is on the other end...

I feel something...

The DySP also said that it will be looked into.

Hey...

Please...

Jancy...

Don't cry.

-Why did you want to see me urgently? -Come here.

That day

when you asked about the DySP...

I only understood the seriousness of it now.

Your observation was correct.

He left the moment his speech was over.

That means he came there only to mark his presence there.

Not just that,

there are two members in his squad called Biyoj and Binoj.

Their names were also marked on the register that day.

But those two haven't attended the event.

What were they doing?

The lover of the girl in the Manthara case,

is still missing.

When I enquired about them, I learned

they often gathered at the deserted house near the marsh

during the night, drinking and smoking.

Then they might've been there that day as well.

If they've witnessed Ansar's death,

they went into hiding not just because of the suicide of the Manthara girl.

We cannot discard that possibility.

The police are trying to locate them.

We need to get them first.

We will get something if we question them.

I'm on an unofficial visit.

I knew Ansar Ali beforehand.

The police suspect

village officer Felix

and his wife, SI Jancy,

in Ansar's death.

Based on one of Ansar's reports,

some issues happened between him and Felix.

He has come to see Ansar several times.

Once or twice,

they've met here as well.

I don't know.

"Corruption in Village Offices? Part 01"

I looked for the video of the second part in Ansar's office.

It's not there.

I think...

it's in Ansar's room.

Sir...

if you want to go inside,

you need to come on an official visit.

-Hey! Stop there! -Munna!

Run! The police are here!

Hey!

-Run that way! -Hey!

-Run, man! Run. -Hey! Stop there!

-Run! -Hareesh, don't let them escape.

Hey!

Stop there.

Sir, leave me... Oh, no!

Aargh!

We didn't do anything, sir. I swear.

Sir, it's true that she called me.

But it's been six months since we broke up.

Did you see each other that day?

We went to Shihab's cousin's wedding in Kanjirappally. We got back late.

You can check the CCTV there if needed.

-There's proof. -Did you say there's proof?

I'll give you a smack...

Did everyone go?

No, Munna and I went.

Roby didn't come.

Why did she call you for the last time?

-Do you have her photos? -No, sir.

What is this?

Sir, that's not mine.

I found it when I went walking.

Found it?

When? Where did you find it?

Beside that marsh...

Sir, there are some secrets in it. It's GPG-protected.

So, did you see the data inside it?

No, it's like a bank locker.

Both keys should be entered simultaneously.

When I connected it to my laptop,

the message had already gone to the key holders.

Bro, okay then.

-Okay, sir. -Okay.

Hello?

I've brought the vehicle here.

I'll let you know.

Thanks.

Sir, we are just two police officers on suspension,

and he is the investigating officer of this case.

Why waste our time?

If we go ahead with just a strand of hair, a piece of tooth, and bloodstains,

we won't be able to use those

as strong evidence against the DySP before the SP.

I know that very well.

We need strong, solid evidence.

Only then can we lock him up.

To be frank, we still don't even know his motive for killing him.

Our only hope is Anjali.

Sir, you should give me permission to question Jancy and Hareesh.

On what basis will you question them?

I have strong evidence against them.

Are you sure?

Yes, sir.

Jancy and Hareesh created the opportunity

for Felix to commit the crime.

Oh!

There's clear evidence on Felix's phone, sir.

This guy, Ansar...

His image wasn't as good as it was seen in the public eye, sir.

He was a fraud.

Hawala, tax fraud...

Lots of illegal stuff.

So, they're linked?

Yes, sir.

Felix and Ansar had some dealings between them.

Then, they had a fallout.

That's Jancy's motive, sir.

Then, how did Hareesh get involved in this?

I'll explain it to you in detail.

-Okay. -Okay.

I should've done it, but somebody else did it before me!

That's all.

Come.

Please sit.

[phone rings]

Sorry, ma'am.

That day…

That day, I just couldn't talk to you openly.

But if I stay silent now,

it'd be the greatest wrong

I'd ever do to my Ansar.

Ours was a love that started from our college days.

Several years after our break-up,

we saw each other accidentally.

When you left,

at first I was furious and disappointed.

Then it turned into ego.

By the time I wanted to see you again, we had already drifted apart.

Then came this horrible sense of loneliness.

I felt I needed a companion.

So, I decided to get married.

But...

seeing you like this now…

That day, I didn't leave because I wanted to.

But what choice did I have but to leave?

What's the point of saying all that now?

That's not going to change.

Everything will be alright.

I'm here for you.

How can that be, Ansar?

You're a family man now.

I...

I can't do this anymore.

Nothing like that will happen again.

We met many times afterwards.

We grew close again.

When my father came to know,

he opposed it like the old days.

Threatened us.

That night,

I came to know that my father's men assaulted Ansar.

I fought to meet Ansar.

Hello?

-Hello? -Hello.

What happened?

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

I'm alright.

I need to see you now.

Don't upset yourself like this.

I want to see you right away.

Will you come?

Yeah. I'll come.

Madam, like you said...

I was with Ansar in the car that day.

This is all because of me, right?

Hey,

Anjali...

Relax.

Easy.

I never imagined things would turn out like this.

Looking back now, I feel everything we did was wrong.

Hey, no.

We'll get through this.

Together!

It's gonna be alright.

-It's gonna be alright. -Yeah.

Okay?

Hey!

Police!

Seems like they're my father's men.

Looks like they are coming this way.

You should leave quickly.

No! No Ansar! Don't go alone.

-I'll come with you. -Listen to me.

I'll take care of this.

-You go! -Don't go.

-No, Ansar. Please. -Please.

-Don't go alone, Ansar. -They are here!

Listen to me.

You go.

Hey! Stop there!

Car...

Stop the vehicle!

How did you confirm that DySP Suresh Kumar is behind this?

Sir, on June 14th, Hareesh and I were on night patrol.

After finishing our rounds in town, we reached Odamedu.

We noticed a car parked suspiciously amongst the trees.

Sir, I went closer to check what it was.

Someone got out of the car and ran

while the other person drove away.

We chased the fleeing person for a while, sir.

But as it was dark, we lost him after a point.

Even though we searched, we couldn't find him.

Then the CI called us and we went to attend the Manthara case.

He'll find his way out. Let's go, sir.

We could only return from there in the morning.

When we went to the marsh on our way back, it was filled with soil.

Suresh sir knew we were at the crime scene.

Every move he made afterwards were targeted at us.

He dragged Felix, Jancy's husband, into this case.

Felix left home due to some personal issues.

Still, Suresh sir dragged him in.

Knowing Suresh sir's nature very well, I knew something was off.

Before he could frame them,

I told them to get out of this mess.

You should be careful. There's more going on than you think.

That's when we started investigating this case on our own,

while under suspension.

We knew from the beginning that Anjali was linked to this case.

-His daughter, right? -Yes, it's the DySP's daughter.

-Her name's Anjali. -Sure, right? -Yes.

Okay.

I know nothing.

Anjali's father

is targeting us intentionally.

Maybe it is to save his daughter.

-Anjali, please. Please listen to-- -Don't come after me anymore.

But that day, Anjali didn't cooperate with us.

Sabu, an officer in the squad, helped us track the DySP's movements.

Your observation was correct.

Not just that,

there are two members in his squad called Biyoj and Binoj.

Their names were also marked on the register that day.

I saw them leave the office on a vehicle that day.

When I asked,

they said they were going to get a convict in Kattapana.

But they went to nab someone else.

To stop Anjali and Ansar from meeting,

DySP Suresh sent men from his squad

to rough up Ansar and dump him on the road.

When Anjali found out, she insisted on meeting Ansar that night.

-DySP's men, who were tailing Anjali, -Sir, it's definitely them.

-informed him that they'd met again. -Confirmed, sir.

Okay. You can leave.

Okay sir. Let's go.

That's when we came that route during night patrol.

Oi! Hey!

Stop there!

When Ansar came out after making sure we'd left,

Suresh sir was probably waiting for him.

NO!

No!

No!

Hey! Hey!

No!

My father...

Ansar's wasn't the only crime he committed.

He has committed several crimes.

At one point,

I couldn't take it anymore. I decided to speak up.

I had no other choice.

Do you have any evidence for these claims?

We hit a dead-end with no real leads.

That's when Rasheed sir called us.

Hello.

Come to Pallimukku urgently.

Pallimukku?

Sahadevan is a dear friend I've been searching for, for many years.

We joined the service together.

He was Suresh sir's driver.

A month ago, Ansar Ali met and had a chat with him.

They met.

Following the information Rasheed sir got about Sahadevan,

-we went to Tamil Nadu. -Where's Sahadevan's house?

Go straight and take a left.

-The next left? -Yes.

Everyone in the service knew Suresh sir was trouble.

But for Sahadevan, Suresh sir's word was final.

That was the only matter on which we had a difference of opinion.

When a case was heating up in Nilambur, Sahadevan went missing.

No one knew what happened or where he went.

I've been looking for him since then.

Hey!

Sathyan!

I'm not alone, right?

Look.

He is with me.

My old speed is gone, Rasheed.

Now it's just small-time farming, and him for company.

No worries.

Sahadevan...

I know well that the pain from back then still lingers in your heart.

I let go of that burden.

Now I have peace.

Whatever comes, let it come.

It happened after coming here and meeting you.

Ansar Ali was killed.

Suresh sir is trying to frame them in Ansar Ali's death.

From what I see, you're the only one who can help them.

Brother, didn't Ansar come here to meet you that day?

What was it about?

He came to know about Suresh sir.

In 2014, I was posted at Nilambur station.

Suresh sir was the CI there then.

I was his driver.

In a place nearby called Kattumunda…

we went in connection with a stabbing case.

That's where I met Sajeevan.

He was a tailor.

He had a small tailoring shop in the market.

Angel Tailors.

A simple, innocent man.

Sajeevan has a wife and two daughters.

The eldest was in 7th grade then.

The younger one was in 3rd grade or so.

The younger one was not well, and they took her to the hospital.

Returning from the doctor,

they found their front door wide open.

Seeing the hens and cats running around,

the mother went inside, yelling at the older girl.

The child wasn't there.

After searching for a while,

they found her in a corner,

bruised all over,

trembling with fear.

Sajeevan's daughter bravely said

the accused was a big shot of the area.

That day, I couldn't even look into that child's eyes.

The investigation went nowhere.

Meanwhile, the girl disappeared again.

Sajeevan came to the police station, and begged before the inspector.

When sir casually said the girl might have run away with someone,

I saw Sajeevan standing there, numb and helpless.

That broke me.

The police eventually found the girl.

They claimed Sajeevan abused her and tried to sell her.

Suresh sir wrote the FIR stating it.

When the news hit the papers,

Sajeevan was shunned.

One night, Suresh sir asked me to come to his home.

Two others were with him.

At midnight, the jeep stopped near Sajeevan's house.

They asked me to wait in the jeep.

I saw flames in the distance and stepped out.

A crowd had gathered there.

The house was burnt to ashes.

Like burnt firewood,

four bodies...

A half-burnt doll...

A frozen smile on its face.

That's all that remained there.

The scorching pain from that night still burns within me.

I did nothing for them.

Didn't even lift a finger.

I resigned.

Wandered aimlessly.

Finally ended up here.

While working in the fields,

I sometimes lift a handful of soil and smell it,

to see if it still carries the scent of blood.

I had to support Suresh sir,

in many of his crimes back then.

These were found by a few boys near the marsh.

Okay.

It contains Sahadevan's recorded testimony that Ansar documented.

Sir, the device was protected by a private key.

It was Anjali who helped us unlock it.

Sir, what's the link between

the 2015 Nilambur girl's case and Ansar's murder?

See. That case was closed due to lack of evidence and witnesses.

But Ansar found a link to Suresh Kumar.

That's what we believe became the motive for Suresh Kumar to kill Ansar.

Sir, should we conclude from this that

the police department is a hub for criminals and murderers?

Sir, will the police reopen the Nilambur girl's case?

See, any decisions regarding reopening the Nilambur case

shall be briefed only after further discussion with the DGP and the Home Minister.

That's it.

-Sir, one more question. -Thank you.

In the murder of journalist Ansar Ali,

evidence against DySP Suresh Kumar gets stronger.

Including the 2014 Nilambur rape case,

the details of various cases which Suresh Kumar has compromised

have been handed over to the police by his former driver, Sahadevan.

Apart from Sahadevan, the police also took statements from

SI Jancy, police constable Hareesh,

and Anjali, daughter of

-DySP Suresh Kumar. -Hey, Roby. Play.

Along with the DySP, the police are also questioning

Biyoj and Binoj, members of his squad.

Madam, do you believe Ansar Ali got justice?

Madam, what do you have to say?

Ansar's family have so far

made no comments to the news.

In the murder of a gold merchant in Thrissur back in 2019,

-Roby? -Suresh Kumar's role has been--

-Roby! -confessed by Sahadevan is what we've heard.

-Roby! -Roby...

-Roby... -Roby, what happened?

Roby, open the door.

Roby!

When he was brought here that day,

Roby was in a completely shocked state.

Then, with some medication and counselling,

we were slowly improving him.

But yesterday, after seeing the news on TV,

he panicked and locked himself in the bathroom.

It took us a lot of effort to get him out.

So, did Roby know Ansar beforehand?

Hey, I don't think so.

But it was after seeing the news about the case that he panicked.

That's why I called you.

Anyway, I need to talk to Roby.

I don't know

if you'll get any information in his current state.

But we can try.

Ambrose Chettan, Sisira, Kalyani, who died in an auto accident...

Raviettan's son Appunni...

Shihab's grandfather...

So, all these people that Roby sees

are dead people you knew, right?

Then, the person you saw that day,

did you know them before?

Ghost.

Roby,

was this the person you saw that day?

No?

Roby, was the ghost you saw that day a man or a woman?

Roby, look at this.

Look, Roby.

Did you see them?

Roby, look at this.

Seeing that photo, he panicked. That made me think in this direction.

Should we reach this conclusion based on what that boy says?

He clearly has mental issues.

And on top of that, drugs!

His hallucinations won't stand in court.

The case will go off track.

We have proven this murder with solid evidence.

Many innocents have been killed by the DySP.

For the first time, a case against him

is getting filed with actual evidence and witnesses.

If we go ahead with this now,

it'll give him another way out.

Why should we drag them into this mess too?

DySP Suresh Kumar, who has been suspended,

has been remanded until the 8th of next month

by Idukki Judicial First Class Magistrate Court.

Including the murder of Ansar Ali,

three cases have come up

against Suresh Kumar.

The name that had come up at first associated with Ansar Ali's murder

was Felix's, the husband of SI Jancy.

Felix is now

joining us from a Buddhist centre

in Nepal.

Felix, do you know what's going on here?

I'm still on a journey.

Did you call your wife Jancy?

Felix, can you hear me?

Go.

Come in.

Sit down.

Come.

I got a transfer.

So, before I leave,

I just wanted to see you.

I'm heading back to my hometown, too.

Did you see her that day, Roby?

Please take a look, Roby.

Roby, tell me, was it her you saw that day?

[phone ringing]

-What happened? -It's nothing.

Ansar...

Shall I serve dinner?

No, I ate.

[phone rings]

Ansar, where are you going?

Why?

I want to talk to you.

What happened to you?

You promised me you won't stay in touch with her.

Stop imagining all sorts of things.

Is it me just overthinking?

I need some clarity, Ansar.

Didn't we already talk this through and clear it up?

Do I need to keep reassuring you?

Yes, I need reassurance, Ansar.

Will you please stop this drama?

Drama?

This is my family!

This is my life.

I will do anything for her!

Kill or die, anything for her!

Isn't that what you want to know?

This suffocation... It has been building up for a while.

I can't take it anymore.

It's true.

I'm deeply in love with her.

Is that information enough?

Then what about me?

She can be everything you can't be.

And what about our son?

Yes.

Our son...

That's the only right you have.

See, I'm going through a tough time.

[phone rings]

Oi! Hey!

Stop there! Hey!

Stop the vehicle! Hey!

Sir, that's some shady business.

He'll find his way out. Come on, sir.

I signed the papers.

Now they have their life,

and I have mine.

There's no point if I'm the only one taking efforts.

Sometimes people walk out of our lives.

When that happens, let them go.

It's best not to chase them

with claims and needs anymore.

That's how it should be.

I need to go out with my daughter tomorrow.

Ah, sounds good.

Shall I go?

Where are you posted?

Thirunelli.

Okay.
