All language subtitles for Bharathanatyam 2 Mohiniyattam (2026)_track4_[eng]

Subhash always whines about me being late.
So, where is he now?

Just look at the time!

Hello!

Where the hell were you, Subhash?

We're thinking of adding a brand-new puja
to the temple's list of offerings.

Basically, a puja meant for
unhappy, chaotic households

to bring peace and joy.

We can call it "Gruha Puja."

I was wondering...

it'd be nice to study Visual Communication
via distance education.

Why do it through distance education?

Sit in a real class and study.

THE STORY SO FAR...

Hi!

Since you're bringing everyone from home,

you'll need to bring...

two more people along as well.

Ever since I worked in Sreekandapuram,

I've secretly been maintaining
another family for the past 30 years.

I'm Bharathan Nair's son.

Why did you come here now?

Who are you?

Tell your mother to take all of this
in the right spirit.

In what spirit should I take it?

I have no idea.

Don't go anywhere near the hospital,
even by mistake.

Sasi etta!

If anyone catches you both together...

It's Subhash who saw you guys!

If you just keep chilling like this,
you can live a long and happy life.

We can tag along with him
until he makes peace with this condition.

All they need is
a half-decent lawyer,

and they could sweep
the whole jackpot away.

Did you spot anything specific over there?

- I did.
- What did you see?

Two guys who look exactly the same.

It feels all fun as long as nobody knows.

You get this illusion that
you'll never be caught.

But we'll get trapped
before we even realize it.

Trapped so bad,
we won't even be able to escape.

They don't have anyone else but us.

Poor things, both of them.

Go bring them here.

Where are Bharathan Nair's
old and new sons heading together?

Get lost, you prick!

Apply the holy ash with your ring finger.

Chant "Om Namah Shivaya".

Om Namah Shivaya. Om Namah Shivaya.
Om Namah Shivaya.

With your index finger.

Please seek everyone's permission
before immersing the ashes.

Just for a week.

We can relax for a while, right?

Let me hand over the keys then.

Mother. Aunt.

- Please hand it to her.
- Okay.

She's the one staying here.

- Go on, take it from him.
- Where are you going? Sit there.

A KERALA STORY 3:
TROUBLESOME, TRASH FILM

Hey. Go sit inside.

Don't go out together and invite trouble.

Both of you got what I'm saying?

You come with me.

It's just that he served as a reason...

I don't know why,
but when I first met you,

I felt like I'd known you for ages.
Like we were already close.

CHARITY FUNDRAISER FOR DISASTER VICTIMS

FIRST FLOOR FOR RENT

Wait for me!

Tell them it's a single payment
for both rooms.

Okay.

Sorry.

Nobody's here! Come on in!

We're screwed big-time!

- Are we in trouble?
- Yes!

Watch the news when you get a chance.

Mohandas will lock us up

if we don't pay him
1.5 crores immediately.

- 1.5 crores?
- Yes!

I don't think Ratheesh will rat us out.

But Mohandas, he'll definitely use this
to get back at us.

Not just us. There are other people
on his list as well.

He's completely milking the situation.
Scumbag!

Did he give a deadline?

Any last date?

This isn't a traffic ticket
for not wearing a helmet!

Can we get rid of him
and get out of this mess somehow?

Not a chance. He's way too confident.

He actually bought a cash counting machine
just for this!

So, we'll have to arrange
38 lakhs for each.

I didn't just get a tooth pulled.

I had a liver transplant!

That cost me 65 lakhs.

I'm completely tapped out!

When we faced an issue like this before,

we handled it
by using Bharathan as a shield.

Those are old stories.
Tell me how we escape this now.

Did he set a date for the payment?

Don't we need time
to arrange that kind of money?

It's 38 lakhs!

You guys arrange 25 lakhs each.

Sathyan...

- Let me see if I can figure out the rest.
- What?

Are you going to arrange the rest
on your own?

You wish! I'll get it done. Let me see.

We can't give up so easily.

1.5 crores, my foot!

You only got one apple?

Water?

Where is Sasi ettan?

He went to meet Baby.

He thinks Baby can find us some tenants.

We sold off good land
to buy them a house,

and now we have to find them tenants, too?

Can't they handle it themselves?

Sasi ettan and Mom are rushing it.

They want them secured before we leave.

We're the ones
who need to be secured right now.

Do they even realize that?

Do you realize it?

Even if we somehow arrange the money,

someone else will snag that school job.

If we can't secure the job now, let it go.

You can stay at my family's home
until you find work.

That's what Sasi ettan said.

So, you guys have been
discussing backups?

There's no point in taking a random job.

Don't we need to settle down eventually?

Shouldn't we have our own space?

Why am I even telling you this?

- Careful, Gopan...
- Okay.

- Careful.
- Move down a bit.

There are thorns over there.

Stones...

Slowly.

We'll leave the day after tomorrow.

The electricians are coming
to fix the first floor.

And the tenants...

I'll let you know when they call.

Is there anything else left to do?

When my husband was living with you all,

I hated that he barely visited me.

More than the money he sent every month,

having someone by your side
means more, right?

- Isn't this enough?
- No! You have to finish it!

- What? This?
- No! The temple laps!

I'm already exhausted!

It's supposed to be hard!

Go on, do it now!

Come on. Go!

Sasi ettan is watching me struggle,
isn't he?

I don't know, son. I don't see him around.

- He's not?!
- No.

- Keep going!
- O, Mother! I seek refuge in you!

I had asked him several times.

But I could tell
he was hiding some deep guilt.

I knew back then
he was hiding something huge.

I just didn't pressure him.

Though I had nothing,
I pretended I had everything.

But there have been situations
where life kept reminding me that

I was completely alone.

In those moments,

though unintentionally, I have cursed him.

But the poor soul... when he passed away,

he left everything he had to me.

I was talking about
having all of you in my life.

Yeah. Yes. I figured.

Even while your own family struggles,

you prioritize my son and me.

Sreekuttan, Thrikketta star.
Obstacles in living a long life.

Goddess...

Ananthakrishnan. Ashwathy star.
Obstacles in love.

Gopakumar. Bharani star.
Obstacles to having kids.

O Mother Goddess...

O Mother...

I'm not denying that.

When you said your daughter
needed a job abroad,

I introduced you to an agency. True.

But no one forced you, right?

You sent her abroad of your own free will.

It's been a week since she left.

She hasn't called us once.

Where else are we supposed to ask?

You helped send her,
so you have to help us now.

The agency sent her.

Go ask them. Got it?

I did. They completely
washed their hands of it.

Well, my hands are tied too.

I helped you and now...

You've been nagging me
since the day she left.

Stop burdening me.

If you have no one to help you,
go file a police complaint.

Go.

Construction costs are
going through the roof.

- Are you even aware of that?
- Yes...

Yes, my foot!

Keep waiting for your friends
to bring you a pile of cash!

What is it now?

How can I fund this on my own, Uncle?

A small shop, a juice bar.

That's all I wanted.

You made me buy this plot
and are making me build a supermarket now.

Remember the scars on your face?

Aren't you humiliated
in front of the whole town

over that face cream fiasco?

CI Parthan is still getting treated
for the patches from that cream.

He's bankrupt because
insurance won't even cover it.

I've been tracking that case
without him knowing.

Not just you.
The whole town's keeping track of it.

So, to clear that stench,

you gotta do something big.

Shock them.

We only push forward
when there are hurdles in the way.

That's how you win. Got it?

Look at me.

Sure, I've pissed off a lot of people.

I won't deny it.

But deep down, even they envy me.

Live like that and show them!

How much longer will you just mix drinks?

I'll pressure those guys, Uncle.

No more delays.

Take my advice. Do this all by yourself.

Four guys farming the same dirt
won't do anyone any good.

Oh, no! I bought the land myself,

but it's your money that got me this far.

For the next stage, they need to pitch in.

Alright, let me fund the rest.

Dump those guys.

Oh, no!

You may take your time
to pay me back later.

If even that's too hard,
I'll step in as your partner.

Let's make this a brand!

You think about it. I'm taking off.

Wait, I'm coming too.

I need the bike.

Wear this.

It's fine, there won't be any cameras.

My dear Subhash...
Checking is going on there.

If Parthan catches you,

he will beat the pulp out of you.

Donate ingredients
for the Goddess's offering

and secure your spot
in her special circle of blessings!

- Don't push it in! Pull it out!
- Almost done!

It's okay.

Here. Take it.

Once you're done wandering,
leave the bike here.

I need to go to this house.

Who lives here?

An old friend of mine.

Don't let the bike
run out of charge, okay?

SAUBHAGYA

- Hi.
- Hey, Govindan.

Heard that the old neighbors
got a new house.

Just came to see it.

Here.

The final rites must be over, right?

Yeah.

Wrapped it up in his hometown.

Then, what about this?

Well...

I want to immerse him here
in the Madayi River.

That's why.

I'll join you that day.

I didn't know any of this back then.

Well, no one informed me either.

Otherwise, I would've tracked
you down to Cherthala.

Not Cherthala...

Near Chalakudy, Kuruvilakkavu.

That's where our family home is...

And you?

I'm Sasidharan. Rukmini Amma's...

They are from his family.

I'm Govindan... I was close to Bharathan.

It hurts a bit to say that...

Finding out so long after he's gone

makes me feel like I did something wrong.

You know the saying,
been through thick and thin together...

we were like that.

How long will you be here?

We're planning to leave
the day after tomorrow.

See, we're holding a memorial service
for Bharathan before the temple festival.

Just wanted to know
if all of you will attend.

Oh no, they won't be around.

My son and I will come.

But...

there's a problem before that.

So, to get out of it,

I came to see if we could get
some help from you folks.

What is it?

Well...

I don't know
if Bharathan mentioned this before...

No... what's the matter?

It's just...

With everyone sitting here...

It's fine, Govindan. Tell us.

Back when Bharathan
was in the Village Office,

and I was in the Revenue Department...

A few of us were...

part of the committee here... you know...

- Aryankavu temple committee, right?
- Yes. The temple committee.

I know that.

So...

Back then,

we made some side income,
in addition to our salary.

To keep that off the books...

We set up an offering box,
placed a stone...

and the few of us

started a temple.

Which temple?

Aryankavu.

Wait, you guys started it?

Yeah. We did.

Those were the days of vigilance traps
to catch bribes.

We started this to escape all that.

Whatever we were owed,
they'd just drop in the offering box...

That's how we dealt with it.

We planned it for a short time.

But... it really took off.

When solid revenue started rolling in,

we stopped the bribery and went legit.

Then we set up a small temple based on it.

There's a certain grace to that money.

Though we couldn't legally connect
the temple to the Devaswam board,

to avoid headaches,
we took good care of the folks there.

Everything went smoothly till now...

But... they just busted a guy there.

If an investigation follows,

we will be screwed.

To get out of it,

we need to deposit a huge sum.

Since Bharathan isn't here now,

it's just the four of us
who are going to get nailed.

We don't fully understand

what you're saying, Govindan.

How are we supposed
to help you now?

It's nothing...

Arranging such a huge sum isn't easy.

They're asking us to pay two crore rupees
in a few days.

We either pay that money...

or we go to jail.

It'll ruin us completely.

What are you expecting?

Bharathan isn't with us anyway, right?

If we could somehow pin this case on him...

we can admit
we've been with him for years...

but if we make it look like
he was the mastermind

and that we were just dragged
into it blindly,

we can avoid a massive humiliation.

You can't use his name
for something like that.

They still have to live in this town.

He may be gone,
but this humiliation you mentioned,

it'll fall on them.

People will look at them
as the wife and son of a fraud...

We aren't just dumping this on him
because he's not alive.

He actually did this scam.

He's no more. Do you have to shame him?

Who suffers more shame?
A dead man or the living?

You are right.

Honestly, he's safe now...

A dead man is immune to curses!

If you want, you can join us
and save face.

That's not going to happen.

Going forward, their lives won't be
as easy as you say.

So, you're saying
we should suffer all this alone?

Or else, let's not get into all this.

Out of what we're all arranging,

there's a shortage of 75 lakhs.

You just give us that.

- 75 lakhs?
- Yeah.

You wish!

You think we'll believe everything you say
without any doubt?

You have to!

We have evidence of all his shady deals.

Do you think I'd come here empty-handed
and say all this?

If you dig deep into the flashbacks,

you will realize that
he wasn't just one of the gang.

He was the mastermind behind it all.

The mastermind?

Yeah.

This whole concept of a temple

and the legends surrounding it
were his doing.

What legend?

Back in the day,
when Lord Rama was heading to Lanka,

at this Aryankavu junction,

he got confused
whether to go left or right.

Mohineeswari,
a poor woman selling things by the road,

showed him the way.

Which is the way to Lanka?

Just turn right and keep going straight.

Oh. Thanks.

- Do you want some buttermilk?
- I don't have any cash on me.

Realizing Rama was tired,

she gave him buttermilk

and a snack made of
chickpea flour and peanuts,

all for free, apparently.

Mixture!

Exactly!

- Impressed by her good heart,
- Have some...

Rama granted Mohineeswari
a place to stay as a boon,

as she was selling under the hot sun.

Mohineeswari, who guided the lost Rama,

later became Goddess Mohineeswari,
guiding thousands.

That dwelling later became the temple!

Bharathan convinced the whole town
with this legend.

Where's Mohineeswari in the Ramayana?

There's no one like that in the Ramayana...

That was also Bharathan's contribution!

After doing all this, can we let it go

just because he's no longer with us?

You tell me...

Didn't you say
you're leaving the day after tomorrow?

Think about it
and make a decision before that.

Either the money,

or as I said.

It's really sweet.
I'll take my leave then.

SAUBHAGYA

What happened to your head?

Broke a coconut. At the Aryankavu temple.

Good things will happen to you.

Alright.

So, as discussed.

Has he left?

Yeah, he left.

The way he was staring at me!
Who's he?

An old friend of Dad's.

Mom, what was Grandma's name?

Grandma's.

Kuttyamma.

That's what everyone calls her.

Her real name?

Mohineeswari.

So, have you gotten
over your anger at Dad?

What he did isn't something I can forgive.

But then, he's gone.

So, I forgave him.

After all, it was just a mistake.

It's okay.

What?! He cheated an entire village!

Yes, that's what that man said.

If Dad started all this,

he could've at least softened
the whole pooja and offering.

Cheating people is one thing.

But harassing them?!

Even after he's dead and buried,
he still won't stop giving us headaches!

- Let him rot--
- Mom!

Don't start cursing him again.

I think that man's a fraud.

So, I don't think we should get
all worked up over what he said.

Exactly. Also, isn't Baby part
of that committee?

Why not ask him?

Oh no. Don't, dear.

Don't ask anyone right now.

Exactly. What if this Govindan just
threw it out there to fish for some money?

Let's just pretend no one came.
Then nothing will happen.

We'll just go home the day after tomorrow.

Oh, come on!

I won't let them disgrace Dad as a thief
in front of the entire village.

None of us will allow that.

So, what do we do now?

Well, if you ask me right now,
I don't have a plan.

Let me think.

And how far
will that thinking take you, Sasi etta?

Just asking.

Because your "thinking" usually ends up

hovering over lands
that you can sell for money.

Just like you settle the outsiders,

consider our issues too. Once in a while,

I've started feeling like
we don't even exist in your eyes.

Where exactly are you taking this?

I'm the problem for saying it.

Rukmini Amma, have you gone to bed?

I hope everyone's discussing
what I mentioned earlier.

This is the money I raised overnight.

My head is spinning just looking at it.

Let it be. If we don't pay now,
our whole life will go dark.

I'll bring my share by evening.

But there's no guarantee about Sathyan.

He says he can't handle stress.

If he enjoyed himself all these years

and now plans to dodge his share,
citing stress and all,

I'll shut him down.

Whoever it is.

Govindan, should we ask Mohandas
to lower it from 1.5 crore?

As if that'll happen.

That guy's a complete scoundrel.

Look, we don't have the glory we once had.

The temple treasury
barely sees any real income now.

Whatever little comes,

we spend it on the mixture and buttermilk
in the name of myth.

And there's no monopoly like before
in this business.

For naming ceremonies, weddings,
and vehicle poojas,

people now go to competing temples.

All we get here are a few poor souls

asking if we can fix
their job or love life.

Not a single one of
our old premium devotees remains.

So, see if you can
somehow reduce the amount.

Otherwise, we'll shut it down.

- Shut it down, and then?
- Then, we leave.

Easy for you to say. You can leave.

You've got other places to go.
But for me, this is my native.

Back in the day,
when the treasury overflowed,

you people educated your kids
and built properties elsewhere.

But everything I had,
I poured into this place.

So, if I'm going down,
I'm not going down alone. Got it?

If we can't arrange the funds,
there's still another way.

Goddess...

Enough, enough.

What do you want?

Here, hold this.

If it looks like we'll get caught,

we'll dump all the blame
on Bharathan Nair and turn approvers.

We'll say he cheated us, too,
along with the villagers.

But you were the one who decided
to hold a condolence meeting in his name.

And now you want to stab him in the back?

Let the condolence meeting happen.

While he's in the limelight,
we'll land the blow.

It'll catch fire instantly.

And while all that burns,
we quietly scoot away.

Should we really do that?

Of course!

You go tell Sathyan,

even if he has to sell his new liver,
bring the money in two days.

No concessions for anyone here.

Now go.

Rukmini Amma,

you all are discussing
what I mentioned, right?

That fellow?

Save that number.

If he calls, don't answer. Scoundrel!

What are you staring at?
Didn't get the coconut?

Go, scrape it!

Don't just bow and leave.
Drop some coins, too, Sasi.

In our glory days, this was how
most of our transactions happened.

Now, only you people can be of some help.

So, things seem to be moving along, right?

What time should I come there tomorrow?

- I'll let you know.
- If you decide earlier,

don't wait till I get there.

Just slip it into the offering box here.

I'll take it whenever it's convenient.

Can't forget the road
that brought us here, right?

Alright then, we'll take leave.

When will this thing fill up, my God?!

You've got enough to feed yourself.

Then why are you squeezing money
out of the poor?

You said the money was for the agency,
but you didn't even give them half.

They backed out.

My daughter...

At least take responsibility
for the money you swindled!

Watch your mouth!
I'll kick your bones to pieces!

Isn't that the story the agency told?

I may have helped her go,
but you who sent her

and she who went also share the blame.

Go check yourself.

Who knows what your daughter's
up to there!

Maybe she planned
to elope with her boyfriend.

They probably thought
that route was the safest.

She knows you will just
wail here like stray dogs,

but won't have the audacity
to go looking for her there.

I've filed a complaint with the police.

I'll wait a few more days.

And if I still hear nothing
about my daughter...

What will you do, scoundrel?

You won't be able to lay a finger on me.

Got that?

Sasi etta...

See.

"Offered by Sasidharan, Thrikketta."

Saraswathi!

Sreelatha.

Shanthi.

Thank God! There's nothing here.

SREE MOHINEESWARI DEVI TEMPLE,
ARYANKAVU

Oh, no!

The moment I first saw you,

I felt like I already knew you,

like we were somehow close.

After meeting him at the temple
and now seeing this,

everything seems to be heading
exactly as he explained.

To dismiss all these,

we must have blind trust in Dad.

Well...

Let's not brush it off completely.

Stuff like this has only
recently started happening here.

With the support of AI and all.

If Dad managed to pull this off
without any of that...

- that's not a small talent--
- Oh, please!

The way you brag, one would think

your father was some visionary artist
like Kamal Haasan!

That's one hell of a man! Buzz off!

That Govindaraja has become
a real nuisance.

He keeps messaging Rukmini Amma,
asking for updates.

He irritated us, too.

I still think

there's nothing wrong with calling Baby.

At least it will clear things up.

No, no, don't do that, Sasi.

They're very troublesome people.

Long ago, your father arranged
thirty lakh rupees from somewhere,

saying it's for the temple
and the villagers.

The case that followed from that

is what made us lose our house
and move to a rented place.

Looking at everything now,

it wouldn't be the first time
they've betrayed your father.

Wow, great!

You carried all this inside all this time?

What could I do? I have no proof.

It's just a feeling,
based on everything happening here.

Sasi, what do we do
when that man comes tomorrow?

I don't know.

Let's all think it through together.

I don't want to make a decision on my own
and upset anyone here.

What I said earlier
really hurt Sasi ettan, didn't it?

Not just him, everyone.

They won't help us.

Also, they treat our worries like
they're nothing. I felt really bad.

I only said it because I was angry.

What do we tell him tomorrow?

Hope he doesn't take everything away.

You don't have any
security duties here, do you?

Can't you just sleep peacefully?

What a racket you made last night!

What is it? Are you hungry?

Here.

We're out of biscuits, Simba.

I'll buy some once it's morning.

What's this? Are you being stubborn?

What's wrong with it?

Why didn't you buy Simba's biscuits?

I forgot.

What's for breakfast?

I was thinking of making idlis.

Yesterday's batter is still in the fridge.

Then I'll make wheat dosas.

Okay?

Get out.

Couldn't you spare
even a fraction of the consideration

you give this dog for me?

Not "dog"!

Simba!

Call him by his name.

Papa!
Oh, no! Uncle!

Uncle,

I thought about what you said.

I'll handle the deal alone.

I've neatly cut those guys out.

That fast?

If the only way to escape is
to leap across the river,

better jump quickly.

Let's not delay switching sides.

We have to unload the materials
the day after tomorrow.

I'll need some cash.

Come home later when I'm there.

- Are you going there?
- Yes?

Then I'll come too.

I've only seen them around.
Never properly met them.

No need to meet them.

They're not really nice people.

Leave now.

FIRST FLOOR FOR RENT

Inhale...

Exhale.

Inhale...

Leaving the door wide open?
What if thieves walk in?

Oh, he's already here?!

So? Did you discuss it and decide?

Well, Govindan...

This isn't something we can decide
in just a day or two.

Maybe.

But we don't have time.

Then what do we do?

Raising such a huge amount
in such a short time is hard for us.

Then, shall we consider the other option?

No, no, that's not happening.

There he goes again!

You'd better leave now.
We'll talk later.

No way. Discussions are best done at dawn.

Start them mid-day,
and the whole day is wasted.

That's not it. Sasi ettan isn't here.

Where did he go?

To the temple for bath and prayers.

Let him come. I'll wait.

Anyway, this talk is between us.

Govindan, I know nothing
about your dealings with him.

All he left us with is a rented house.

So...

I can't even manage
a tenth of the money you're asking for.

But you're not in a rented house now.

Well...

They all helped me buy this.

Then, all of you find a solution together.

I know how much you paid for this house.

It's only been a week.

I'll sell it for the same price.

I'll bring the buyer.

No need to bring anyone.

We bought this house for them to live in,

not to settle your mess.

Hey, get up and leave.

Don't start your nonsense here
first thing in the morning.

Hey, don't get jumpy.

I've already spoken politely
to all of you once.

For the mess your elder created
before dying,

we're the ones paying now.

Dragging a dead man's name into this
will only hurt them.

What's the point otherwise?

There's definitely a point!

Why can't these fools
understand plain words?

Or you people pay the money.

Just because you keep coming here
saying these stories

doesn't mean we believe you.

You said you had proof.
Show it then.

Hey, hey! Don't provoke me.

Hey, you! Your history isn't that clean.

Weren't you and your men the ones
who swindled 30 lakhs from them earlier?

Who told you that?

We know it all.

Better not play these tricks with me.

If that's the case,
I know a few things too.

The dead Bharathan Nair and these two here
will rot here!

- Wanna see?
- Govindan, please...

They spoke in anger.
Don't take it to heart.

We can't just accept
what you said that easily.

Give us a little more time.

I don't have time, woman.

Take off the gold
from their necks and waists.

Then you can sit and think
for two days.

Shut your mouth and get lost, you filth!

Oh, no!

Oh!

So, this is Bharathan Nair's
first installment?

The lunatic wife and four kids!

Are you still insane, oldie?

Get lost, you dog!

Call me whatever you want...

I don't even need to work now.

Just spread Bharathan Nair's current story
along with this past.

The locals will add
all the spicy details themselves.

Then everyone will roast you all alive.

- Oh no, someone's coming.
- Smartie!

Please don't make a scene.

We frauds behave in this way!

I'll shout even louder.

- Just keep quiet.
- You get lost, bloody passerby.

Don't bother raising
seventy-five lakhs for me.

I tried helping a colleague's family
with a small adjustment,

and now you're turning me into a thief!

That man fooled people everywhere,

married women in different towns,
and had kids everywhere.

Who knows!
Maybe he has kids even in Antarctica!

Like penguins, hundreds of them!

Right?

Right!

SAUBHAGYA

- Auntie...
- What is it, dear?

Our sewing machine broke.

Can you loosen this sleeve a bit?

Oh dear, I've got so much work
in the kitchen.

Bring it in the evening.
I'll fix it for you then.

I have an exam today.
I can't write wearing this.

- Please...
- Oh, dear...

If I weren't busy, would I say no?
I'd definitely do it.

It's okay, Auntie.
You continue your work.

- I'll do it myself.
- No, no. You sit here.

I will fix and bring it.

Really?

Sit here. I'll bring it now.

Oh no! Son!

Oh no...

Get him.

That girl is sitting there.

Go talk to her for a while.
I'll be back.

Give me a way to pass.

Ashoketta, grab him!

Oh no!

- Let go!
- Go, take him there and hit him!

Where did he disappear?!

Pull his leg!

Oh no, Gopettan slipped!

- Hold him!
- Oh no.

How long are you all staying here?

Well... we'll decide today.

- Oh...
- Your life ends today!

Hey!

Take your hand off my hair!

Let go! Let go!

I said, let me go!

Ashoketta, stop enjoying the fall!
Get up!

I lost my ear-balance!

Let's lock him!

I will try!

Push it in his mouth!

Hold tight!

Don't let go!

He passed out!

This music is so loud.

Well, that's how it is here.

If we like a song, we crank up the volume.

Then everyone celebrates together.

Let go, you dog!

Put him down!

Hold him!

Hold him strongly! Come on!

To the kitchen!

- Take him to the kitchen!
- Lift him!

Do you like this area?

Yes... It's very peaceful.

Come in.

Did he swallow the whole tomato?

Hit him! Hit him!

Move! Move!

Move forward!

I'll quickly give this to her.

Come back fast.

Sit him down!

Turn him back!

Such a nuisance!

Cover his mouth!

I asked you to shut up!

Oh no.

Bro...

She's gone. Let go of him.

She's gone. Let go of him!

I guess he passed away...

What happened?

Hello.

Where are you off to so early, Ashoketta?

Going to our hometown.

Just remembered,
the kids have their quarterly exams.

If I don't help them study, they'll fail.

Finally found some peace
after going to another temple

and praying to the real God.

Ashoketta,
let's go meet Govindaraja first.

You can leave after that.

Tea.

Let's not make him come here.

He spoke that way the other day
because he's under pressure.

It was evident from his voice.

We shall go to his house with some snacks

and tactfully explain our situation.

That'll soften him up.

It takes two hands to clap.

We aren't clapping.
We just want peace, right?

But if he barges in here,
he'll start talking trash.

Nobody here will like it.

It'll start as a spark,

then blow up completely.
It'll get out of hand.

You know what they say...
too many people can never kill a snake.

That's the point.

That snake is dead, man!

Really? Wait, what? Snake?

Close your mouth!

Sit straight!

He died!

We checked and confirmed it earlier.

Here he goes! Get up, get up!

We waited for you to decide
what to do next.

You think I'm a serial killer
to give suggestions like that?

I'm shivering from fear,
not because my clothes are wet...

How is none of you bothered by this?

We are.
We just aren't showing it outside.

Sasi etta, is there no way out of this?

Long odds!

Even if there is,

what's the guarantee no one will
come snooping before we find it?

Where would such a punctual man go
for this long, Auntie?

He must be somewhere around here.

He left his phone and wallet behind.

Get me the bike keys. I'll go take a look.

Can't you put this dog in a cage?

If the dog had a cage,
he would've locked me in it.

He's a scumbag!

Whatever you're planning,
following him around is dangerous.

You won't realize how deep the pit is
until you fall in!

Auntie, I handle most of his dealings now.

He can't dig a pit anywhere
without my knowledge.

- Oh.
- Let alone me falling into it.

Subhash, I know him better than you do.

Maybe.

He might have screwed over
a lot of people.

But I can only judge him by
how he treats me, right?

By the time he even thinks of
backstabbing me,

I'd have gotten what I want.

Things are heading exactly that way.

Auntie, get the keys.

Make it quick.

Hey, I bought those idlis for myself.

- Hello!
- Oh, hello!

You said you'd think about it,
but you never called back?

Well, we discussed it as a family
and came to a decision.

Fantastic. Seems I'm out of a job now.

Advocate...
we actually called you for a favor.

What is it? Tell me.

Well... imagine my family
accidentally committed a murder.

Murder?

I mean... just take it as an example.

It is part of research.

If it's for research,
why make them commit a murder?

Couldn't you make the family do
something else?

No. A murder is a must.

The thing is,
my younger brother is into movies.

He's now assisting director Jeethu Joseph.

So, he is writing a script.

Our Jeethu sir?

Yes, our Jeethu sir.

Is it Drishyam 4 or something?

Tell me, I won't spill it to anyone.

Yes, exactly.

Sounds great.

So, when Georgekutty
isn't home,

another uninvited guest drops by
and causes trouble.

While the family is clueless,

he threatens to publicly humiliate
Georgekutty's stepmother.

Georgekutty has a stepmother?

Yes. There's such a character
in the next part.

Oh, so there's a change in the story?

Yes. It's necessary, you know?

And to humiliate them, he starts shouting
so the whole neighborhood hears.

To stop him, the whole family grabs him
and covers his mouth.

After a brief struggle,
he departs from this world.

Oh no.

- Will that count as murder?
- Of course!

But the dead guy is pure evil!

It's still murder.

No one even held him that tightly.

He died out of his own stupidity.

Can we claim self-defense
and get out of this?

How does this count as self-defense?

Listening to this story,
it sounds like a messed-up family.

They realized their dirty secret
was getting out,

so they ganged up and killed him.

Where's the self-defense in that?

When they held this guy down...

Georgekutty's eldest brother-in-law
only grabbed his legs.

Will he be an accused in the case then?

Man, if his legs were free,
couldn't he have run away?

Wasn't he held down from
his only chance to escape?

If so, what about

the second brother-in-law,
who only grabbed his hands?

Wait, Meena only has one brother
in the movie, right?

No... I mean, a relative.

If his hands were free,
couldn't he have fought back?

- He'll definitely be an accused too.
- Shit!

What about the guy who grabbed his waist?

My God, who all grabbed this guy?

I mean... it was a complete gangbang.

Whoever it is, everyone who laid hands
on the dead guy is going behind bars.

Such a perfect house!

Why are you coming to my room?
Go to your room!

Alright then.
We'll call you once we finish the script.

Hey, make sure you put my name
in the "Thanks" card, okay?

Absolutely!

Sathyan uncle...

Come in.

No, I'm not coming in.
How are you feeling now?

Well, gotta stay like this for a while.

Where's your uncle?
Haven't seen him today.

Must be at the committee office?

No. Baby and Raghu just left
with the office keys.

Dad, come sit inside.

Coming.

Brother, if we just leave him here,
won't we get caught?

We definitely will.

If we dump him somewhere,
we'll at least buy some time to flee town.

How do we do that?

We'll cut down some plantain bunches
from the backyard and fill them in sacks.

We can stuff Govindan into one of them!

While we do that,
you go hire a truck from somewhere.

Right.

Hey!

Where are you going?

- Didn't I tell you earlier?
- Tell what?

- Quarterly exams!
- To hell with your quarter!

You didn't remember any of this
until y'all committed a full-blown murder!

Go keep the bag inside.

- Go! Go!
- Go, walk inside.

I promise I'll come back after the exams!

- There's a vacation coming up!
- Go inside!

Sasi etta... come here!

- What is it?
- Look, the other guy.

Make sure he doesn't escape!

Come.

We, brothers-in-law, were playing
hide-and-seek.

Yes.

And it's my uncle who's counting, I guess?

Haven't seen him since morning.

Which uncle?

Govindaraja.

He didn't come.

He said he would, but hasn't arrived yet.

Right, right.

But I saw him going inside the house.

No way! We just opened the gate.

If you happen to see him,
ask him to drop by in the evening.

- Right.
- We're a bit busy right now.

- Right, Sasi etta?
- Yes. Very busy.

- Alright, Sasi etta. I'll just...
- Yeah, go ahead.

- Come back fast!
- Of course!

Shall we get down then?

STRIKE FROM TODAY

A pick up in the pickup?

- Alright...
- Stop poking at your phone

and load those bottles.

- Brother.
- What?

Isn't the mini-truck stand around here?

This is the place.
But they are on strike.

What strike?

They're paying the price for
some scumbags' wrongdoings.

They trusted the customer
and loaded the goods into the pickup.

Those guys smuggled weed
and stuff along with the goods.

Oh no.

Now an innocent driver
is struggling in jail.

The main guys used their influence
and slipped away.

And who got caught?

Wait, how exactly do you use influence
to slip away?

We only know how to get trapped, right?

True.

Hey, what do you want?

I had to take some goods somewhere
urgently.

Is that so? What's the load?

A fresh cut. Back home.

If we don't move it fast,
it'll start rotting there.

Since it's a union strike,
I don't think anyone from here will come.

But... I know somebody who might.

I'll give you the number
if you don't try hitting on her.

Turn it here. Keep left. Keep coming.

Now straight.

Before loading,
open it and show me what's inside.

It's the union's decision.

But it's just bananas.

Yeah, and the other guy went to jail
for carrying a plantain stem.

- Is that so? Give me a minute.
- Come on.

- Keep coming.
- Just a minute.

- There...
- Sasi etta, swap the load.

- She wants us to open it and show it.
- Oh no!

They caught weed or something
in last week's load.

Enough.

Don't wait. Let's load it up.

Come on. Grab this. Come.

Hold it.

Told you, right? It's just a fresh cut.

It's a fresh cut.

See, nothing but bananas here.

Come. Quick.

- Here.
- Hold it.

Everything... alright.

- Done?
- Done.

- Where to?
- Wherever.

I mean... where's the nearest market?

Where did he go?

He went to sell the bananas!

I said, he went to sell the bananas!

Then what do we do with this?

I'll handle this quietly,
without anyone finding out.

You go get your bike keys.

Oh! This junk bike of yours!

The further we go,
the louder this thing gets!

Brother, that's because you're speeding.

Just drive in economy mode.

Are there no cliffs or abandoned wells
around here?

No cliffs around here, brother...

And... I don't know about
any abandoned wells either.

Don't you have any shady friends
to help us out?

I don't hang out with shady people.

Try lowering your standards
of decency, okay?

By the way, what about the water supply?

Don't worry about that.
This well has never dried up so far.

That's good.

The electricity connections are separate
for upstairs and downstairs, right?

Yes, yes. We've applied for it.

Once that's done, I'll hand over the keys.

This house is yours, then.

Where's it?

Hold it.

You stay right here. I'll be right back.

Hello!

You seem to be up to something...

No!

Looks like something heavy...

No man. Just some trash
from shifting houses.

Came to throw it out.

- Yeah.
- If it's trash, don't throw it here.

There's a scrap dealer nearby.
You can give it to him.

You'll get some cash out of it.
Shouldn't waste that.

Oh no, we aren't greedy for money.
We're well-settled.

That's fine.

But don't dump all this here
and pollute nature.

Come on.

Oh God!

Oh no!

The house is not available.
We can't give you the keys.

But we had almost finalized it, brother.

Expecting it for seven thousand rupees!
No way!

We can talk about it.

Let me talk to my auntie
and get back to you.

Groceries for the house, I guess?

Oh, this?

I saw two bunches of plantains
and got tempted.

Oh.

Hey, hold this.

- Lift it.
- I'll help you.

- I'll hold this side.
- No need to step in.

- It's fine, I can help.
- No, guests need not help!

- Don't treat me like a guest.
- But we will, today!

Lift it.

- Slowly. Don't bruise them.
- Lower it.

- I want a banana.
- They aren't ripe yet, dear.

I want.

- I want a banana!
- No...

- I want a banana! Mom!
- I'll buy you another one!

- Alright then. I'll call you.
- Mom, I want a banana...

- Alright, Sasi. Bye.
- Mom, banana!

- Bye.
- Shut up!

Let this be here.

Stay there!

Hey Spirit, go Spirit!

Did you catch that demon's face?

Oh Spirit, hey Spirit!

Did you see the saving grace?

The noble queen adorned in golden ash

Beat him to death with a stick
Swinging her earrings

Stop, stop. Sister, please stop.

Just a minute.

Monday arrives
And the lady keeps her fast

Dipped in the Ganges
And washed the remorse away

Brother, we gotta go!

Oh my!

See? He's not moving! It's confirmed!

Idiot!

Hey Spirit, go Spirit!

Keep praying.
Prayers to fake Gods also work sometimes.

Oh Spirit, hey Spirit!

Did you see the saving grace?

BUG OFF, LOSER!

Sister...

I have a simple idea.

How about we bring in a scientist,

invent an electric chair,

make him sit on it, and zap him to ashes?

How does that sound?

CHALAKUDY

Chalakudy!

Come with me!

I just read it. I'm not going there!

Udayan sir, a teacher at
Thoovalparambu High School

who regularly hijacked the PT periods
to teach Math,

was beaten to death
by a group of ninth-grade students.

Alright then.

How did it go?

These bananas cost four rupees more here
than what we get in our hometown.

But...

He also added that the students will

- receive the punishment they deserve.
- Really? Keep watching TV.

What do we do now, Sasi etta?

No idea.

Wherever we look,
that guy from this morning is there.

We keep bumping into that dude everywhere!

It's like he got a clue that
Govindan is here.

Sasi etta, I'm getting really scared.

No matter how brave we act on the outside,

the truth is, we all murdered someone.

Is there anyone in this town
who would understand our situation

and actually help us?

Oh dear... I don't know anyone.

Besides, would anyone even support us
for something like this?

Once this rain stops,

how about we take him
somewhere far away and dump him?

We don't even have a vehicle to do that!

Are we gonna carry him on our shoulders?

He's just blurting out nonsense
out of fear.

Auntie, seriously, think about it.

Is there anyone
we've ever helped out in the past?

Dear, in a situation like this,

I'm unable to suggest a single name.

How can you just say no to everything?

Isn't this your hometown?

We're in trouble because of you folks!

Then let's just do this.

Let's all sit right here.

That way, the cops can
come and pick us up on time.

You can do that
since you don't have a job or kids.

It's not the same for us.

We have kids.
We want to see them again.

Listen up! Don't just blabber
whatever comes to mind out of stress.

Stop fighting.

Think about where to dump him before dawn.

Right.

Sasi, we need to move him somewhere
before dawn.

Even if it means killing
somebody for that.

Kill somebody again?

What the...

Go check.

Sasi etta...

My uncle didn't come here, right?

No, man. I told you this morning.

I searched for him all day.

He's missing.

You just go home now.

We can look for him tomorrow morning.

Even if I go home,
I won't be able to sleep.

I suspect some people.

So, I'll be sticking around.

I'll join you guys for your hide-and-seek.

Speak clearly, child.

Your voice isn't clear.

Bro...

Who did you say you were to Govindan?

His right hand.

What's your name?

Subhash!

Mark my words, he's going to ruin us.

Even if God Almighty spares us,

this guy will wrap around us
like an octopus. You'll see!

- What's the matter?
- Really?

Do you know that guy's name? Subhash!

So what?

We barely escaped from one Subhash
in the first part!

LOWLIFE GOVINDAN

Lowlife Govindan? Oh no!

How's this possible?

Hang up!

- Don't answer it!
- Hang up!

Don't just keep holding it, hang up now!

Though it was an accident,

we know that it's a massive sin.

We have no clue where to run

or who to ask for help in this town.

Are our lives going to end with this?

SREE MOHINEESWARI DEVI TEMPLE,
ARYANKAVU

MOHINIYATTAM

What's for breakfast?

Hey, that boy hasn't taken his eyes
off this side.

No way we can take the body out now.

Just make sure he doesn't come inside.

If what Govindaraja said
about the Devaswam issue is true,

won't that turn into a police case soon?

Can't we just say
we know nothing about it?

Mom, if this becomes a case,

the police will come looking
for the committee members.

They'll start looking for Govindan.

- This guy will bring them here.
- Oh my God!

The cops who come to nab
the committee members

will get a bonus here, a dead body.

- And a fresh batch of villains.
- Oh dear!

Are we those villains?

Anyway, cook and eat
whatever you like for the next two days.

After that, who knows
if we'll get any.

I'm fed up with this life.
No peace at all!

I'm leaving.

Son, before the police come here,

shall we go meet them with some snacks?

No problem is unsolvable
if we just talk it out, right?

You can't settle a murder
by chatting at the police station.

Sasi etta! Come quickly!

What's the noise in here?

- He's trying to slip away alone!
- Oh my!

- Look, he's cycling here!
- I just want to die!

- What are you doing, Ashoketta?!
- I don't want to live!

- Hold him!
- Let go! Move away!

Don't touch me! Move!

- Hold him!
- Grab hold of him!

- I got him!
- Hold him!

Untie him before he bursts a vein!

Sasi etta, lift him up.

What the hell are you doing, Ashokan?!

Is it just you? We're all stuck here!

I'm scared of the police, the case,
and everything else.

- What?
- I'm scared!

Ashoketta, we should try
to get out of this.

We tried to give Rukmini Amma a life.

Now, don't destroy her life
by killing yourself!

You should be giving us courage.
Don't be such a wimp!

Shall we go see Mohandas,
fall at his feet, and plead with him?

Our pride will be at stake.

As if it isn't already!

- Hey--
- Baby...

Haven't you left yet?

The power connection upstairs
isn't ready yet.

So, I thought I'd leave
after a couple of days.

Oh!

Let me talk to them first.
I'll get back to you.

Alright.

Where are the others?

Sathyan is resting.

And Govindan is missing.

- Missing?!
- Hey!

It's not like that.

He's running around,
trying to save the Goddess.

- Yes, yes.
- We haven't seen him since yesterday.

That's what he meant.

But he's around, right?

Just ask him.

Did you find your uncle?

No, couldn't find him.

I'm searching everywhere.

Searching?

Your uncle isn't a kid. He'll come.

Still, if you're too pestered,

go inside the temple and pray for relief.

He hasn't seen his uncle for a day,
and he's already out searching.

Instead of doing a ritual in the temple,

a "Gruha Pooja" in the home
would be better.

Right?

- "Gruha Pooja"?!
- What's that?

Yes, there is such a thing.

Anyway, I will go pray and come.

Alright. I'll get going too.

- Sure.
- Okay.

From what I've checked,
there's no news anywhere

that Govindan has gone missing.

Oh, then we still have two or three days
to get rid of him.

Even then,
we'll still be under Subhash's watch.

He's already snooping around
and has reached Kuruvilakkavu.

And in between, he even took a jab at me
about some "Gruha Pooja"!

If you ask me,
we should just get a bigger sack,

knock him out, stuff him inside,
and dump him somewhere.

- Great way to reduce our stress.
- Just keep quiet, will you?!

Isn't there any other way
to get rid of him?

To remove a thorn...

You use another thorn!

Hello, I'm at the bus stand now.

Near this bus called "Angel".
Did you see?

Janaki?

Did you see?

I'll raise my hand. See...

Can you see my hand?

Hey, Subhash! Are you here?

We could've had tea from home.

Everyone's waiting for you there.

- Really?
- Yes.

Come.

Oh, Mother...

Goddess Supreme...

Save me.

Goddess...

Wherever I go,

I like stopping by the local temple
and paying my respects.

Feels like it's filled with
currency notes.

It's only when the coin hits
the offering box with that little 'cling'

that you feel your prayer
has been heard.

I believe all these.

My father started this,
along with his friends.

What? This bus stop?

No... not this. That!

Started it?!

- Is it a family temple?
- No, no.

Then, how did they start it?

They just placed a donation box
and a stone, and that was it.

I didn't get it.

Who's the deity?

Mohineeswari Devi.

Who is that?

What?! A fake temple?

You called me here to fix this damn mess?

This one too.

You, so-called good guys, pull off
frauds as a family tradition.

If I get suspicious
and speak up, I'm the bad guy!

Not just you,
there's a similar one here, too.

Thin fellow. Round eyes.

Looks about twenty-six years of age?

How did you find him?

Oh, I found him.

This is it! This is why I called you here.

So, what do you want me to do?

He came when I wasn't here.

None of them could stand
his behavior and attitude.

Anyway, he was quite annoying.

They started arguing,
and it turned into a big scene.

Option A. Seventy-five lakhs.

Option B. Public humiliation.

When he said it,
these two jumped right at him.

That was more than enough!

Oh, hello!

After that,
he said he no longer wanted the money.

Instead, he will go with Option B.

But we couldn't agree to that.

No, never!

When he started shouting
and alerting the whole neighborhood,

they all ganged up and grabbed him.

Then my mom stepped in.

That was good.

In cases like this, arguing won't help.

It's better when elders step in
and settle things peacefully.

That would've been good...

But once my mother joined in,

everyone together
suffocated him to death.

Right here?!

No, no, no! There!

What on earth is going on here?

A bunch of murderers. A dead body.

And when I try to pray for some way out,

there's a fake temple
and a god that doesn't even exist.

Son, please suggest some way out of this.

Sounds like you are asking
for help with a punctured tire!

- Subhash...
- What?

My father liked you very much.

Yeah!

Only you can help us in this matter.

You've got the potential.

- No.
- Subu...

Sasi etta, if you ask me,
we should just get a bigger sack.

Knock him out, stuff him inside,
and dump him.

No one who knows the truth
should walk out of here alive.

Don't take what he says seriously.

Please help us get out of this mess.

Even falling into the sea
would be easier to escape from.

I know. That's why
we're asking for your help.

Tell us what you want. I'll do it.

How much did he ask?

This idiot doesn't want money.

He wants my committee secretary post.

If we end up in jail,
won't he get it anyway?

Yes.

He just wants to walk around
saying he's the secretary.

What else is the use?

No use at all.

On top of that,
it's just another headache to manage.

Let him take it.

I had a narrow escape
from your hands, right?

We tried our best to dispose of this body.

But we can't even
get it outside the house.

- Please make way.
- He's coming.

- Sasi etta...
- Yes.

What was the name of that prick
we met at the bus stand?

Subhash.

Right now, he must be
wondering what my role is here.

Oh.

He's probably planning how to barge in.

What's the time now?

Four.

He'll be here within an hour.

We've barely gotten rid of one headache.

Do we really want
this pain in the neck now?

If he can help us in this condition,
that's good, right?

Anyone who thinks straight
won't help us in this mess.

But when it comes to him,
some crazy idea will pop up.

Didn't you see what happened now?

Like one troublemaker recognizing another,

the moment he got off the bus,
he spotted the other.

And he even said
Subhash would reach here within an hour.

Must be his experience talking.

All this could just be one of his tricks.

You all go ahead and fall for it.

Who is he to predict
someone's arrival like that? God?

Hello.

We are planning to hold
the condolence meeting soon.

Good thing none of you left.

You will see how much everyone here
loved Bharathan.

When he lived here,

all the kids around used to say

they wanted to grow up
to be like Bharathan.

- Yes.
- Those were the days!

How many bedrooms are in here?

- Here...
- Five in total.

Three downstairs and two upstairs.

The master bedroom
must be upstairs, right?

See... there's no master here.

Any news about your uncle?

Not yet. But I'm searching.

Maybe we'll find him soon.

Who's that?!

That's Rukmini Amma's son.

Wasn't he downstairs?

He came upstairs.

When?

While we were standing here talking.

- How?
- How?

Through the outside stairs.

What do you do?

I'm a supervisor at Sitaram Mills.

So, are you on leave these days?

Yes. I can manage
most meetings over the phone.

So, you can take your time
before heading back to work?

Yeah. If I could really get back,

I could rejoin the office.

Mom.

Hey, Subhash...

Please make a way.

But...

This lady...

"Bharathan Nair Memorial Meeting."

If you wink at that photo,
you will see a surprise.

BHARATHAN NAIR MEMORIAL MEETING

Shocked?

Our dear Bharathan is a star in the sky.

It was a bit expensive,
but it's grand, right?

That tiny shrine in the corner

became the well-known
Aryankavu Devi Temple

thanks to many decisions
Bharathan made.

Yes, he would always be
at the forefront of everything.

That gave us
a lot of confidence, too.

We've even heard stories

about how he once mortgaged
his house for temple matters.

What exactly was it for
that he did all that?

- No--
- Well...

Tell them.

- The renovation!
- Yes.

He said collecting money
from the locals wouldn't work.

So, he jumped in himself.

Did he really carry out
a renovation worth thirty lakhs?

Of course.

And the remaining money
was later used for several other needs.

How is it upstairs?

Nice set-up. You should go up
and have a look.

I was the one who showed
the first tenant party around, too.

- Kitchen!
- Give that to me.

- Hey, that's okay.
- No, no! That's not right.

- Keep it here. I'll wash it.
- Let me see the kitchen once.

Let him go.

Let him see your kitchen as well.

Sasi etta... He went inside.

That must be the work area, right?

Yeah, we don't go there.

- Don't come, then. I'll go!
- Oh, no!

Hello!

Still using the old way?
No motor pump?

For some reason,
the motor isn't fetching water.

So, I thought I'd just
fetch it by hand and bathe.

Want to try?
Let's pull up a couple of buckets.

We'll get going.

- Come.
- Baby uncle...

Didn't this family seem
a bit suspicious to you?

No.

That's because you're too innocent.

But I feel they know something
about Uncle going missing.

Really?

Should we inform the police?
Will just say we have a suspicion.

Remember coming up with your
"Fair and Fly" fairness cream business?

Thanks to that clever idea,
you ended up in the police station.

And Officer Parthan kept you there
for a whole week.

I heard he's still struggling
to fix the skin patches on his face!

Now you want to go there again
with some half-baked suspicion?

He'll beat the life out of you.

This isn't some imaginary case,
Baby uncle. Look at this.

Will he leave his phone here
and go roaming around?

No, right? That's it.

Two days before he went missing,

he had been messaging
and calling them repeatedly.

He even came here a couple of times.

The last time I saw him was there.

Something went down between them.

I'm sure of it.

After spending sixty-five lakhs
on a liver transplant

and getting my life back, now I hear
I might end up in jail!

What was the point
of getting it replaced then?

Hey, don't give up like this, Sathyan!

We'll find a way out of this.

How?

Where is Govindan?

I don't know where Govindan is.

But his mobile phone has been found.

Subhash is suspecting
Bharathan's family

based on the calls
and messages from this phone.

Oh, no!

Since Subhash has Govindan's phone,

could he have figured out
something about us?

No chance.

He's just sniffing around that family
about those calls and messages.

But we suspect that Govindan went there
to squeeze some money.

They even brought up that thirty lakhs
Bharathan once arranged.

- Now?
- Yes.

Yeah...

They asked about it casually.

But I felt there was a hint of doubt.

So, we'll confirm that house then.

Oh, no...

We already gave it
to another party yesterday!

Come on!

Didn't we say
we'd think about it first?

They came and paid the advance right away.

Just tell Baby.
He will find you another place.

- Alright.
- Okay.

All the plans we made
have completely fallen apart.

Son, we had a narrow escape this time.

What if he comes into the house again?

What took me a whole movie to figure out,

he did in the opening of the second half.

Locking him down won't be that easy.

But from now on,
he won't escape my radar.

So, who did you rent this house out to?

To some engineering college
students nearby.

But there are
no engineering colleges nearby!

Correct.

Then... they probably lied to me.

Kids these days are real brats!

I'll scoot then.

If there's anything fishy
in what he said,

he'll turn back and look now.

- Why's that?
- That's just psychology.

No. He is a naive soul.

What if he's a seasoned crook?

Go!

ARYANKAVU, MOHINEESHWARI

My house's right next to your mom's

Still, you did me wrong

Your punishment's on the way

If there's any chance, Lord...
please call Subhash up to You.

When you mention Subhash
in your prayers,

add his initials as well.

Still you did me wrong

Please call our neighbor Subhash
up to You.

That sounds better.

Oh, my Goddess, please find
my missing uncle immediately.

Is your uncle missing?

You didn't know?

Thathaka pithakatha
It is four-legged

When it walks alone
It is two-legged

While standing with an umbrella
It's three-legged

On reaching the hometown

- And it is ten-legged
- Uncle...

Uncle...

Uncle...

Uncle...

Uncle...

- What is this clown up to now?
- Uncle!

He's a relative of Govindaraja's wife.

But because of his foul nature,
no one wants to be around him.

But isn't he alone enough to trap us?

He's already changed his game.

Knowing his eagerness,

the printing press must be running by now.

He might be getting
the all-purpose flour glue ready.

He has more than enough time tonight

to cover this town with wall posters.

It is four-legged

Thathaka pithakatha
It is four-legged

When it walks alone
It is two-legged

While standing with an umbrella
It's three-legged

On reaching the hometown
It's ten-legged

Who are you?!

Uncle...

Uncle...

Subhash...

Subhash...

- Hey...
- Hey, it's exactly like you said.

The road ahead is full of these.

We need to search
every nook of Sreekandapuram.

Whoever is behind this,

even if it's Bharathan's family,
like you suspected,

we need to catch them.

What if, like you said,

Uncle just stepped away
for some personal reason?

Did you flip?!

Still, we'll have to search for him.

What are Baby uncle
and Sathyan uncle saying?

I couldn't reach them on the phone.

I'm heading there now.

Hey...

Is something dead around here?

No! There's nothing here.

There's a stench.

Check and see
if something dead is lying around.

Okay.

Has Govindan gone missing...

Or did someone make him go missing?

With his shady deals,
I wouldn't be shocked if he got kidnapped.

All good
as long as it doesn't trace back to us.

What if it's Bharathan's folks?

There's nothing wrong
with suspecting them.

They're total frauds.

But we need to know
their exact link in all this.

It's Govindan's phone.

Mohandas!

- Hello?
- Hey,

you said you'd bring it right away.
Where are you?

Will you bring it anytime soon?

Govindan...
He's a bit tied up running around.

- Who's this?
- I'm the secretary. Baby.

Baby, it is then. Listen to me carefully.

It's best for you guys
if we wrap this up fast.

Yesterday, they busted the guys building
a temple for Hanumankind in Kondotty!

Let's settle this
before that investigation reaches us.

Well, since it's 1.5 crores...

Everyone's scrambling to arrange it.

Look. You guys can scramble
and make your 1.5 or 2 crores.

Just give me my 30 lakhs,
and I'll close this file.

Then what about the 1.5 crores?

Man... don't make a bad situation worse.
Just give me the thirty I asked for.

Right. We'll get it to you soon.

Alright.

So, Govindan wasn't made missing.

Where's our money?

What money?

The 50 lakhs
you and your uncle swindled from us.

50 lakhs?

I don't know anything about that!

Don't try to play us
like you play the locals!

When did I play the locals?

Of late, he hasn't had a single deal
you didn't know about.

Your auntie told us
he was funding your supermarket.

That's a loan. Not a free gift.

Instead of listening to his dumb excuses,
let's just go inside and search.

- Yeah, exactly.
- Move out of the way!

Don't close it!

- Open up! Hey!
- No!

I won't!

Subhash... this behavior of yours
tells us that whatever we need is inside.

My dear Baby...

If my uncle has your money,
I'll somehow get it back for you.

Just give me some time.

Anyway, my uncle wouldn't cheat you guys!

That's exactly what I'm saying.
You don't know shit about your uncle.

You're with him 24/7,
yet he's been playing you.

You think he'd spare us?

Subhash, that eight cents of land
you bought at an exorbitant price

for the supermarket...

Who do you think it
originally belonged to?

Your uncle!

He just transferred the land
from his benami's name to yours.

He got your money,
and you fell right into his trap.

And you thought you had all his secrets
in your pocket, you idiot.

Anyway, stay locked in there,
hoarding whatever your uncle left you.

You'll open this door yourself
within 24 hours.

Let's go!

There's no document in here
that mentions 50 lakhs!

FOR THE GODDESS...

Got no common sense?

How many times did I warn you

not to trust your uncle
and blindly follow him?

I kept everything you said in mind
while I was with him.

I knew all his moves.

So, you tracked his moves,

thought you'd play smart
and deliver the final checkmate, huh?

Screwed now, right?

He has a lot of dirty secrets
that only I know about.

That's why I was so confident
he wouldn't screw me over.

That's because you don't know
what kind of breed he is.

He must have a reason
for keeping me here, too.

You know how much he values you and me?

Look. It's way less than this dog!

You cheat!

- I fold! I quit the game!
- What?

I know you guys screwed me over.

Screwed you over?

Stop playing dumb.

I've had my eye on this house
ever since he walked through that gate.

He went inside,
but he definitely didn't come out.

What was in that sack
you carried on the scooter?

Scrap!

Don't lie like that, your tongue will rot.

No, we aren't the type to lie...

Then, where's the
'To Let' board hanging on the gate?

- Don't you want to rent it out now?
- That...

Well, we changed our plan.

After he gets married,
he and his wife can live upstairs.

Yeah. Wait, marriage?

Hey, what do you care
who comes and goes here?

Sure, they can come.
But I didn't see anyone leave.

Hey, mister. Stop talking in riddles
and get to the matter.

- The matter? I'll show you. Come here.
- Sure.

Let's see. Come.
Aren't you coming?

- Did that loser keep the sack back?
- Come.

- Mom, watch your step.
- Yes.

Wasn't he the one there?

Whatever it is!

This was my matter last time.

- Hey, what are you doing here?
- Oh, right.

- Hey!
- Oh, no! Don't, Mom!

- What is this?
- Let him do whatever!

- Mom, this is legal!
- 'Legal', my foot!

- Come on. Move!
- Oh no.

- You should've told me before coming here.
- This is legal too!

By the time I finished a whole banana,
your bucket still hadn't come up.

What a performance by the couple
near the well!

Subhash, you can search
this entire house if you want.

Then, you'll know we're telling the truth.

Look. I'm saying this again.
Don't play dumb with me.

Not only did my uncle come here,

but I know you all killed him,
and you know it too.

Don't think you can just
stash him in my bathroom

and walk away scot-free.

Okay.

Now get out of here.
We want to watch a movie and go to sleep.

Man, why are you doing this to me?

We both know the truth.
Who are you acting for?

Subhash...

Since those posters are all over town,
you'll find your uncle soon enough.

Don't change your performance meter
even a bit, okay?

My dear award-winning actors...

I'm the one who put up those posters
and let the whole town know.

Heard that?

We know that.
Is there anything we don't know?

There is.

I didn't just let the town know...

Then who else?

INDIA POST

You scoundrel! That's some
premium-grade nuisance you've got!

If I knew this yesterday,
I wouldn't have done any of this.

Scamming everyone, regardless of age...

Playing the elder
and stabbing you in the back...

Tossing you away once the job is done...

These were my uncle's favorite pastimes.

He eventually pulled the same trick on me.

If he wasn't dead,

I would've killed him myself
instead of leaving it to you guys.

There he goes again!

Man, we didn't do anything to him.

No matter how much you twist it,
we aren't gonna confess.

Look, let me tell you something.

Use your common sense.
None of you can escape from this.

And neither can I!

So, why don't we team up

and escape together?

Sasi etta. Come here for a second.

He has a fair point.

We could do this
to get rid of him temporarily,

but we can't just pin
the whole case on him.

The postmortem will show
he couldn't have done it alone.

So, keeping him with us and figuring out
an escape is the smart option!

Will it backfire if we keep him with us?

Don't worry about that.

If we have to take this idiot along
to survive, so be it.

We'll have two such specimens here,
that's all.

If your plan is to join us
and then show your true colors...

Oh, I only have one true color.

Blindly trusting the people I'm with.

That's exactly how I ended up here!

So, how's it gonna be?

Are we set?

Set!

Gopakumar, I'm done with this.

If I don't get the full amount
by next week,

I'll pass this job to someone else.

There's a limit to how long I can
hold this for you with just my words.

Who do you think you are to me?

Sir... I have a week, right?
I'll somehow arrange it.

Do whatever you want.

If I don't see the cash next week,
I'm deleting your number from my phone.

Having the body at my house
makes me so restless.

Those committee guys have their eyes
peeled over there.

Do you finally realize how risky that is?

If we shift it here, I can relax a bit.

No way!
You can take that risk yourself.

Just because we let him on the team
doesn't mean we trust him completely yet.

- There's a river nearby.
- Yeah, let's go bathe in it.

But getting the body there
is the real task.

Since he spread the news all over town,

we surely can't move the body out
of here like this.

Guys...

What if we don't move the body
"like this"?

Brother...

Do you take outside gigs?

You have to ask the boss for that.
I just cut meat here.

How much do you make here?

I get 800 rupees a day. Why?

What if it's not a chicken?

What if it's something bigger?

If it's a pig, I get 500 per head.

No, what if it's even bigger?

A buffalo?

I get 1500 for a buffalo.

Let's not haggle.

We'll give you 2500 rupees.

Keep it.

What do you want me to cut?

We know you look shocked,
but deep down you're happy.

It's okay, show it.

We're all a team now!

- Us?
- Yeah.

Spare me!
I don't want to be a part of this!

Hey, we paid you 2500 and hired you!

- I'll give the money back!
- Brother...

He passed away accidentally.

If this guy were still alive,
he would've made our lives a living hell.

I'm already dealing with
a hundred problems of my own.

This is a massive risk.

Hey, it only feels like that at the start.

Once you're in, it's a huge thrill.

You'll be able to manage it then.

I guarantee that not a single soul outside
will know about this.

You just give me one, too.

- Give what?
- A guarantee!

Here.

I don't want it.

Listen, it's not that I'm scared.

If I go to jail,
my wife will be all alone.

So, your daughter isn't around?

I don't even know where she is...

This scumbag is the reason for everything!

Yes! That's the spirit we need!

What will you do, scoundrel?

You won't be able to lay a finger on me.
Got that?

Do you want a biryani cut

or a curry cut?

Hey, chicken, secretly eating the grain

If you steal our rice
We'll strike you dead

Will pluck your feathers

Toss you in the pan

Chop you to pieces

Snap your bones

Hey, chicken, secretly eating the grain

If you steal our rice
We'll strike you dead

DEADLY WEAPONS

Chop you to pieces

Snap your bones

Killed the chicken
Snapped its neck

Plucked the feathers
Threw it on the stove

Roasted and ground
With coriander and chili

Tossed in some cinnamon
And stirred it up

Killed the chicken
Snapped its neck

Plucked the feathers
Threw it on the stove

Roasted and ground
With coriander and chili

Tossed in some cinnamon
And stirred it up

Hey, Eappen, get the knife

C'mon, chop it into pieces

C'mon, break the spine

O Uncle, bless us from hell

Did he have any chronic diseases?

No, nothing like that.

We can't just take your word for it.
We need proof.

No, it's guaranteed.

What's his blood group?

You can just test that!

Can't we just supply it as needed?

Yeah, isn't that enough?

We can't preserve a kidney
like we preserve blood.

- Oh!
- It needs to go from the donor

to the receiver within
ten to fifteen minutes.

- Fifteen minutes?
- Yes.

What if the donor is no longer alive?

The same rule applies.

Damn! How is that fair?

Shouldn't we help each other out
since we're locals?

Oh sure! Great way to help the locals!
Just get out!

And you guys call yourselves angels!

Sasi etta...

- It's time to begin.
- Alright.

Eappen chetta!

MISSING
GOVINDARAJA 63

Who has the guts to bribe
Circle Inspector Parthan?

Do you need any help, Uncle?

Do you know who sent this?

- He's growing up?!
- No, sir.

Do you know who put up this poster?

Do you know who pasted this poster
all around this place?

My dear sir, ask me something
I actually know!

Sit right there!

Do you know this man, Govindaraja?

Do you?

Not gonna say anything?

Then listen.

Until I find the missing guy,

the guy who put up the posters,

and the guy who sent this to me,

I won't leave this place!

Sir, I don't know where he went.
But I know where he lives.

Thank you.

You will always have a place in my heart.

Your husband is missing.

Why didn't you file a complaint
at the station?

I didn't think it was necessary.

Let him wander around
and come back when he feels like it.

Does he usually wander off like this?

No.

Then why assume he'll be back
when he feels like it?

What if this is the beginning?

Weren't you guys upset about
not dividing the property?

Well, it's done now. Grab the best parts.

Do you guys have any issues
with each other?

Nothing obvious.

Do you have an issue with me?

No. Why?

Then give me straight answers.

I don't have time to decode everything.

Govindaraja has been missing
for seven days now.

I've been living in peace
for that long now.

I don't feel like my husband is missing.

And since we haven't filed
an official complaint,

why are the police interfering?

- Sir, do you want Simba?
- Simba?

Yeah, it's his dog.

It hasn't eaten or drunk anything
since he left.

I can't take care of it.

You can take it if you want.

What am I supposed to do with a puppy?

Around what time
do you think Govindaraja...

She's gone.

What an irritating woman!

Killed the chicken, snapped its neck

Plucked the feathers
Threw it on the stove

Sasi etta!

Sasi etta!

Sasi etta!

Sasi etta!

Yeah. How's it going?

We're mostly okay here.
We can head out now.

- The police are roaming around outside.
- Police?

Oh no! Will we have to stop the plan?

No! Absolutely not!

We need to get rid of this
before they come here to investigate.

Where are Gopan and Ashokettan?

Man, handling tension is a skill.

When you're scared,
you shouldn't let it show.

You have to handle it coolly, like this.

That's all it takes.

Police!

- Oh no, we're trapped!
- Don't turn around.

I'm not... I just want to drink some juice.

We're in a pickle here,
and you want juice!

Hold this for a second.

- So you can run away?
- No, I'm adjusting my sandal strap.

Let me do it for you!

But this doesn't have a strap!

Oh crap! We're trapped.

- The police saw us.
- Oh no.

Don't panic. Let's just walk straight.

- Walk...
- Just act cool and walk.

Come on, let's go.

Man, I can't find the bike keys.

Did you check inside?

Wait here, I'll go check.

Could it be at our house?

- Yeah, go check quickly.
- Okay.

EVERYONE UPDATE IN THE GROUP
ONCE YOUR TASK IS DONE

Have you seen this man?

- Isn't this Govindaraja, 63?
- Govindan!

He's been missing for a few days.

Oh dear!

If you get any information or see him,
please let us know.

Sir, we're trying to catch
the 2:30 passenger train.

- Train...
- We're getting late.

- Okay.
- Peace!

Come on.

SASIDHARAN, SUBHASH SR, ASHOKAN,
SUBHASH JR, GOPAN, AJAYGHOSH

Won't it be a problem
if we dump chicken waste here?

Yes. We're taking this
across the state border.

We'll give it to the pig farms over there.
The pigs will eat it.

I see. Then it's safe.

Oh.

- Alright then.
- Why did you ask?

Oh, nothing.

SASIDHARAN
SUBHASH SR

Have you seen this uncle?

No!

Will you tell us if you see him?

No!

Thank you.

ASHOKETTA, GOPETTA,
NOBODY HAS ANY SUSPICIONS, RIGHT?

Hey, one minute. Hello!

Killed the chicken, snapped its neck

Plucked the feathers
Threw it on the stove

DONATION POINT
FOR DISASTER VICTIMS

HIS CLOTHES AND SHOES
ARE SAFELY DISPOSED.

SUBHASH JR

God bless you.

Auntie, look closely.

Have you seen this missing man?

What's your name?

My name is CI Parthan.

You're an absolute moron!

Killed and snapped its neck

Eat! Eat fast!

Don't chew. Just swallow!

BRAHMANANDA LIBRARY, KALPATHUR

MISSING

ARYANKAVU TEMPLE COMMITTEE OFFICE

So, on paper, Govindan has no enemies.

But because of his behavior
and the way he deals with people,

he could have enemies.

Isn't that right?

Govindan actually ran off with
a lot of our money, sir.

And we suspect a guy is involved in this.

- Who?
- Subhash!

- Who's that?
- His nephew.

He's Govindan's benami
for all his shady deals.

When you say "a lot of money"...

Fifty lakhs, sir.

Fifty lakhs?

What's between you guys
to give him that much money?

Nothing as such!

Govindan said it was
for some business of Subhash's.

Now the money is gone, and so is Govindan.

But we know one thing for sure, sir.

Subhash definitely knows
something about this.

He won't let us near his house.

He's hiding something in there.

What makes you say that?

He's a first-class fraud, sir.

You, too, have been played by him,
haven't you?

Is that the same guy?!

Yeah, tell me.

Man, we made a mistake.

One of the bags we brought is missing.

Is it not yet done?

- What?
- Move it, please.

You bloody,
where the hell did you lose it?

Is that something we can just ask
random people if they've found it?

We didn't lose it on the road.
It must be at the house.

We probably missed it
when we went to get the scooter keys.

We just risked our necks
getting our drop done!

They'll be furious if they hear this!

Man, our part is safe.

Just find that bag
and hide it without anyone seeing.

We'll come pick it up ourselves.

Hey, row there.

- Row backwards?
- Yeah.

By God's grace,
everything's under control so far.

Need to make sure
we don't panic and end up in trouble.

Sasi etta, on our way back,
we ran into the police.

They nabbed Subhash, saying
they need to search his house.

They are on their way now.

Oh my God!

Move!

What's it, Ashoketta?

It's time to go to jail.
Lock the house and leave.

Hand over the key to the house next door.

Isn't this the house next door?

Then give it to the house
on the other side.

Shanthi...

- Wipe it properly.
- The stain's stubborn.

I warned you, we shouldn't have
added those Subhashs to the team.

What do we do with this?

Take it somewhere and dump it.

Everything must be cleared
before the police arrive.

- Police?
- Yes, hold this. Here.

Where's the guy who said
it'll be thrilling once we are in?

He's the one guiding the police here now.

In 250 meters, take the next right.

Did you catch "Fair and Fly" Subhash, sir?
Did you?

- Yes, yes!
- Hey!

What?!

Sir, the patches on your face
have eased up!

This multi-colored attire
really suits you.

Don't you dare jabber!

Forget this petty case.

If you ever land in my hands
on a big case,

you're finished!
Budge over!

"I am coming."

Go tell your bloody auntie

that I do this job out of sincerity.

She almost spat on me,
bloody old woman!

If you don't want this,
can you hand me these knives?

Oh, sure.

They're just eight kilometers away.
Hurry up.

Hello.

Just five kilometers away.
Hurry up.

Just three kilometers away!

Hurry up!

- Ashoketta, go untie that dog.
- Yeah, at least let it be free.

If you wash it quickly,
we can run together.

SUBHASH JR.

ASHOKAN
GOPAN

- Quick! Come fast!
- Ashoketta, hurry!

- Coming!
- Quick, sister!

Yeah, coming.

Hey, lock the door.

Subhash...

How's that guy?

Heard he's a bit impulsive,
a little clownish.

But he has cleared
every single case he's handled.

Open the door!

Key...

Key?!

Where is Arun?

- Where is he?
- Sasi etta...

I don't think he has come out!

- Oh no!
- Oh, God!

Sir, I can't find the key.

Slap him hard, sir.
And the key will appear!

Slap me all you want.

I'm no magician
to make a missing key appear.

Just give us a nod, sir.

We'll break him and the door open.

Hey, no! I didn't nod!

Can't I even let out a snort?!

And just like that,
you go and attack him?!

Who gave you that license?

Sir, but you nodded when we asked.

Hey, Big-Moustache, don't over-explain!

Now, until this investigation ends,
both of you, stand over there!

Move!

- Tie your hands
- Yes, yes!

- Yikes!
- Hey!

Stop smirking! Find the key!

Come here, you!

- Where? There?
- It's just an herbal plant.

Where do you usually keep it?

Near the window, sir!

We're looking for it now
because it's not there!

Lying, huh?

Keep making me do it, then.
What else can I say?

He is stuck inside.

Isn't that the guy
we saw with him earlier?

That's the family that moved in last week.

Why don't you just eat my ears!

No one should look suspicious.

Just stand tall and confident.

Right now, they have no lead
pointing to us.

- That means, you got the kit?
- Which kit?

The one I missed earlier.

What is it, Sasi etta?

Nothing.

There is a lead!

Oh no...

There! A "Bigil"!

Shambhu!

Trouble's coming this way, bouncing.

Not one. Two troubles!

Are you panting?

I heard the police were here,
so I ran here to see. That's why.

Shall I pretend to have a seizure?

Just stay cool. No problem.

Oh no!

Answer the call and talk casually.

- Who's that Subhash to you?
- My friend.

Such friends turn into headaches later.

Actually, he was a headache at first.

Only later did he become a friend.

Hello.

Dad, please don't scold me.

Last week, when I landed at the airport,

my bag got swapped with a Punjabi guy's.

Couldn't call you
as my phone was in that bag.

Also, I don't know your number by heart.

Somehow, I found the office address
and came here.

Took days to track that Punjabi

and get my bag back. Such chaos!

Dad, can you hear me?

- My dear. Are you doing well?
- Yes, Dad.

All good. Work's fine.
People are nice too.

Say thanks to Govindan uncle for me.

Convey my thanks to Govindan uncle, Dad.

I'll call you when I get back
to my room after work.

Okay, dear.

Bye, Dad.

Didn't you board the passenger train?

The train left early.

Oh, really?

Hello, I'll handle the investigation.

Constable Deepak can wait there.

Go.

Looking suspicious?

You have a proper police look.

Got a certain aura too...

The only problem is this beard.

He is coming towards you.

When he arrives, just greet him.

Greetings.

- No, he will come here.
- Bye.

See you.

You're the one who said your daughter
went missing, right?

Yes.

- What happened then?
- We found her.

From where?

That...

I went to Tanur for jackfruit,

but they said it's all gone to Thampanoor.

On reaching Thampanoor,

they said jackfruit grows on mango trees.

So, I asked the elders in Mavila

if it's okay to eat jackfruit
from a mango tree.

But they said
they're not from here.

So, I found her.

Okay... okay...
I didn't quite follow all that.

- Anyway, your daughter is safe, right?
- Yes, she's safe.

- So, why are you here?
- I came to deliver meat.

Home delivery.

- That's done, right?
- Yes.

- Over?
- Yes.

Then leave.

- So many thanks.
- Okay.

Okay, you may go.

All of you,
answer a few questions clearly.

Do any of you know
a man named Govindaraja?

Okay, were you aware that he was missing?

Enough!

Now just listen carefully.

Yes, sir.

As part of the investigation,
we came to search that house.

That's when...

Come here.

Shambhu started getting suspicious of you.

No need to worry.

Just a tiny doubt for no reason.

They are a decent bunch.

I'm the same.

But carrying that
tiny doubt feels... uneasy.

I don't have a warrant.

Even though this is unofficial,
any objection if I step in and search?

Do you?

No.

No.

What a simple family!

Sir...

This is going nowhere.

Oh no! He's pulling out the pistol.

- Oh no!
- Escape!

Oh, no! Sasi!

- Shall I start my search then?
- Yes.

Move! Come on!

You live here alone?

Yes, I live alone.

Really?

Yes. I keep it clean because I have OCD.

Carry on.

Don't stop working just 'cause I'm here.

What can I hide in the bathroom, sir?

Well, it's you. What if there's something?

Hey, you're here? We need you there!

Apparently, you may have
nothing to do with this case.

But since it's our job,
we can't skip investigating it.

Correct.

Because what if
you're somehow involved?

- Right?
- No.

Sasi etta... Kit.

This is just rice.

- Any pain?
- No.

No.

- This room has no bathroom attached?
- No.

Since Govindaraja isn't exactly clean,

trouble could have found him
in many ways.

Or maybe he saw it coming
and went into hiding.

But not a single soul
came to the station to complain.

That's what puzzles me.

Imagine!

Bloody hell!

- Why feed that to the dog?
- That was my plan.

Damn your plan! What if that dog
runs off with it?

Get lost, you!
My kit, my choice!

Stupid! If it gets caught,
we will all land in jail.

- Any problem?
- No.

Okay, then?

- Tang drink?
- Yeah.

Give a glass to Deepak too.

Hey, what are you looking for?

Govindan.

Just lending a hand, sir.

What is this, man?

Attic.

What is in there?

Nothing, sir.
The ancestors have kept it locked. Come.

Greetings.

Move, man!

Twins?

Yes, almost!

Sir, he's my brother from my mother.

That's my brother all right,

but he is Rukmini Amma's son.

Their father is the same.

Two children from different mothers
who look alike?

- Two look-alike sons?
- Yes.

Is that even possible?

My father can manage that!

Your father can pull that off!
What a legend!

GOPAN

AJAYGHOSH

- In that.
- Oh dear!

Sir...

One minute, please.

- Just a minute.
- Okay.

Since they live in two places,
it's not a problem.

We never show them together outside.

An illegal affair, right?

Yes, almost.

Do you know, sir?

Govindaraja kept coming here and
threatening us.

Then he saw them together.

After that,
he added more threats.

Why was he threatening you?

We never told anyone.

Sir, we discovered a huge scam
Govindaraja was running,

using innocent people
who knew nothing, even my father.

Someone, please take this damn thing away!

What scam?

ARYANKAVU MOHINEESHWARI DEVI TEMPLE

Since you are still active,

you must have swallowed a lot, right?

Oh no! Never.

We just obeyed whatever Govindaraja said.

When he realized
he was about to get caught,

Govindaraja tried to dump it all
on my late father and escape.

By giving devotees pickle and soda,

emptying their own pockets,
look at them standing here like fools.

Minor correction, sir.

It's actually
mixture and buttermilk, sir.

- Oh!
- Yes, sir.

So in short, this
temple and God, all fake--

Don't exist.

Oh, Mother!

Come.

Move! Move!

- Quick!
- Come.

What is this, man? A "Sati" ritual?

No, sir.
That's just running through embers.

It is a grand program!

- Nonsense.
- Yes.

Even after knowing the scam,
why didn't you complain earlier?

- That...
- We were scared.

If Govindan knew we found out
or tried to complain...

He is a strange guy, sir.

So, what did all that fear
and bowing down get you?

How much did you two lose altogether?

Fifty.

Hush, man.

Pathetic.

Mother, My Goddess, I seek your refuge!

Mother!

I need to check inside.

Sir, you can't enter wearing pants.

- Strict rules, right?
- Yes.

Prakash Menon's bum is on fire!

Hurry up and call a vehicle!
Quick!

Who is it?

- Pick up.
- Come on, pick up.

Sir, this is Govindan's phone.

Give that.

- Hello.
- Listen,

the thirty lakh is
just to keep you off the inspection.

To add Mohineeswari Devi
to the official list, we need ten more.

Will give it.

If I nab the one who just called,

I'll get the complete list of these teams.

Coming to the matter here,

I'll come back in a dhoti,

show proof, and prove later.

Let's go.

Hey... Bring those hefty fellows, too.

Clear the way.

This info must stay confidential.

- No, never.
- It's very sensitive.

We will inform whoever's concerned.

Otherwise, the locals
would crush these idiots to paste.

Sir...

Sir...

What about Govindaraja?

Govindaraja, my foot!

He took their money and his wife's gold
and said goodbye to the land.

Might have scooted from here.

But wherever he goes,
I, CI Parthan, will dig him out!

That's enough, sir.

Get going.

Man, please talk to him once.

Man, he charges a hefty interest.

He won't charge you as much interest
as he charges me.

You'll be in trouble
if you miss the payment.

No. I guarantee.

I will pay it off.

Anyway, let me try.

- That's enough, man.
- Alright then.

Alright.
Check and call me.

Gopan...

Let's have dinner and go to bed early.
We leave tomorrow.

No, Sasi etta...
I have to make a few calls first.

Have dinner first.

Money must reach the school in three days.
I need to arrange it.

I need to call now. That's why.

Please carry on. I'll join later.

Take the pot and get ready to release it.

Step into the water, turn east,
and offer the ashes.

Unbelievable what happened, right?

Hard to believe it's all over.

Best to live
without remembering the past.

Even if this chapter closes or not,

we have no choice but to start a new one.

- This too?
- Keep it in this.

Son.

You wore the shirt, right?

Should I put this in here?

Gopan...

This is for you.

Give it to them
and secure that job at the school.

Look.

What Arun kept in the cooker
is still there.

Shouldn't we do something about it?

How much did you two lose altogether?

Fifty.

Fifty!

Seems like it's filled with
currency notes.

It's only when the coin hits
the offering box with that little "cling"

that you feel your prayer has been heard.

Whatever we were owed,
they'd just drop into the offering box.

Just slip it into the offering box here.
I'll take it whenever it's convenient.

Can't forget the road
that brought us here, right?
