LOTTERY

Father, in the beginning, I didn't know
whether or not I was committing a sin.

But I'm carrying a sin now.

The punishment is now
chasing me relentlessly.

I've paid the price for it, too.

And yet...

I'm unable to unburden myself
of the sin.

You must give me a solution.

Please.

Sins and sinners...
it's not up to men to decide.

Jesus Christ shall decide.

He will also be merciful.

Don't be afraid,
and confess your sin to me.

Thanks a lot, Father.

I'm feeling relieved now.

For giving me this confession on behalf
of Jesus, may I hold your hand and pray?

Father...

Father?

Father!

Mother-in-law...

Mother-in-law, come here.

What is it, Abhi? I'm busy.
Come here!

Come.

Dad, it's our wedding anniversary.

Danam did mention.
I forgot about it.

Happy anniversary.

Bless us, mother-in-law.

How many years now?
Five or six?

You forget everything.
It's the 6th year.

Be happy always.

Bless you.
Won't you bless them with a smile?

It's enough if they're happy?

What about others?
What's the point in blessing anyway?

You know what your mother is like.

Forget it. Let's eat.

I've been blessing for a long time now.

From the Kapaleeswar temple in our town
to Kasi, I've prayed to all gods.

At least from next year,
try to get blessings with a third person.

I'm the third person.
Here I come.

What now?

You're always joking.

By the way, many more happy returns
of the day.

Thank you.
Congrats.

Thanks, Vetri.

So, where's my treat?
Moonrakers or Barbecue Nation?

For now, idlies, pongal and idiyappam.
Okay?

That's boring, sister-in-law.

You'll eat instant noodles then?

Oh, I'd rather have idiyappam.

I'll eat this.
What's for side dish?

Got an appointment with the doctor?

No, dad.

They only had an appointment
for next week.

Abhi, bring more idlies from the stove.
Okay, mother-in-law.

Father Joseph from St. Thomas Church has
been killed under mysterious circumstances.

You'll find an excuse
to let the bad guys free anyway.

It's real nice to sit at home, read your
papers, watch the news and talk Law and Order.

We'd like to shoot the men
we catch, too.

But we have a million questions to answer.

Then find a case where you can shoot
them down, no questions asked.

You're on his side, huh?

Sister-in-law, tell me...

Should I take up this case or not?

So now dad plays the lawyer's role
and sis-in-law is the commissioner?

Real nice.
Look.

First, let your sister-in-law
play a mother's role.

That'll do.

I long for a grandchild,
but that's not happening.

But they get angry if I say something.

Why, mom?

You've started?

Can't you keep quiet?

I'm saying it like it is.

I'm not the only one.

Yesterday, our neighbour Bhagyam came home
to invite for her daughter's baby shower.

I said we'll be there.

She said only I'm to come.

What about that?

Let them talk.
Why do you also talk that way?

First, look at her as a woman.

Then you won't notice these flaws.

You've eaten enough idlies.
Go console her.

Morning, sir.

Morning, sir.

Good morning, Vetrimaaran.
Sit down.

Thank you, sir.

Sir, I was asked to meet you
right away. Please tell me.

A complaint has been filed
personally by a V.I.P. this morning.

The CEO of Ski TV,
Mr. Guhan?

Yes, he's filed a complaint that his
wife has been missing for two days.

Do they suspect abduction?

He's not able to explain properly.

But one more thing...

if other news channels find out, they're
worried the issue will get blown out.

I called you so that
it could be dealt with confidentially.

You may interrogate Mr. Guhan
for further details.

His number is right there.
Okay, sir.

Yes, sir.

So, the drivers and maids in your house...

when did they last see her?

Wednesday evening.

At the end of his duty,
the driver asked when to come the next day.

She had asked him to come
at the usual time.

No one has seen her since.

Where were you at the time?

I'd gone to Hyderabad for a meeting
with Telugu language channels.

When did you last call her?

The next morning.

Her phone was switched off.

But her phone is almost always
switched off.

So I wasn't too worried.

When did you begin to suspect?

Not until that night.

I didn't want to create a big issue,
so I waited.

Then I went and placed a complaint
with the commissioner.

Thank you, sir.

How long have you been married?

Four years.

Kids?

We had put it on hold.

We are in plans now.

What are your wife's hobbies
and personal activities?

She's one cricket fanatic.

She'd even go to the church and pray
for the Indian team to win.

She's that obsessed.

Your wife is a believer?

Yes. She goes to the church
every Sunday without fail.

And sometimes...

She takes all important decisions
after consulting with the Father.

Which church?

St. Thomas Church, Villivakam.

Are you aware of the Father's death?

Yes.

I just got to know
through my news division.

Thank you for your co-operation.
We'll be in touch with you shortly.

Thank you.

How can you be so sure, Vetri?

Jessica was last seen in her house
on Wednesday.

The murder of Father Joseph
took place on Thursday.

He died at the confession box.

He must have listened
to someone's confession that morning.

My angle is,
what if that was Jessica?

Good morning, sir.

Come in, Stephen.
Have a seat.

Vetri.
Yes, sir.

He is the officer
dealing with the case of Father's death.

Hello, sir.
Hello.

Vetri thinks a missing person's case
that he's handling...

a girl may have gone to confess at the time,
and have something to do with the death.

Maybe so.

But then we'll have to suspect everyone
right from the watchman to the bell-ringer.

It's simple.

Although his services to the church were
clean, upon digging up, we discovered...

he's undergone one by-pass heart surgery
and needed another procedure.

The stress around his medical expenses
have led him to take this decision.

All the signs point to suicide.

What's your opinion on the case?

I doubt if the Father's case is
truly a suicide.

How do you say that?

He may have had stress in his personal
life, but he's a true christian.

A true christian wouldn't spill his blood
in the Holy Church.

He could have killed himself
at home. Why didn't he?

You're more familiar with The Bible
than the Father?

Not necessary.
I understand Christianity.

To close this case, we need to
investigate this along with Jessica's.

He seems to be a prophet.

Let him handle this case, too.

Yes, Stephen.
That is my decision.

Let Vetri handle it.

Sir!
What?

Hand over all relevant case files to him.

Yes, sir.

Vetri.
Sir?

There's one station S.I. Thirupathi
who was earlier on the case...

he will help you out.

But he's a chatter-box.
Mind him.

I'll handle it, sir.
Thank you.

Ask, and it shall be given; Seek, and ye shall
find; Knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

You're almost the same height and weight
as the Father.

So I'm just trying to gauge
with you as a reference.

Step out.

Am I some guinea pig for an experiment?

You can see everything...

Where the Father would have sat, stood,
died and where he must be now.

Just one difference.

Father is not alive now.
But I am.

The commissioner was right about you.

What did he say?

Everything.

Maybe about Constable Banumathi?
No one knows about her.

Or maybe I'm getting a promotion?

That's impossible.

He rings the bell.
His name is Anthony.

Hello, sir.
He's been working here for eight years now.

It was the Father who got him this job.

At what time did the Father
normally come to church?

Normally, 7:00 am.
On Sundays, at 5.

He also comes at 5
if there is a special mass or prayer.

He died in the church at 6 A.M.

Was there a special prayer then?

No.

Why did he come early then?

Some V.I.Ps known to him,
call ahead before coming for a confession.

Did someone come that day?

My child was sick.
I wasn't here.

But he asked me not to close the gate
before leaving.

Did you tell him or the earlier policemen
about leaving the gate open?

No, sir. They didn't ask.

You'll only tell us if we ask?

I am exit!

Who discovered his body?

A girl called Thendral.

Where does she work?

Thendral, two police officers
are here to see you.

They're waiting at the corridor.

Tell them I'll be there.

Even donkeys look cute and cuddly
when they're kids.

Give it 5 - 6 years...

they'll cause problems between the parents
and chase them both away.

Went overboard, did I?

Here she comes.
Thendral.

Her name means "breeze".

She's a tsunami, really.

Why did you want to see me?

Are you Thendral?

Yes, I am.
What do you want?

I'm Assistant Commissioner Vetrimaran.

Show me your ID.

But the elections just got over.
Is this for local elections?

She wants to see your voters' ID, sir.

Not your voters' ID.
Proof that you really are a cop.

Why do you want to see it?

Why can't I ask to see it?

He looks like a school kid
who has lost his homework!

What is it?

You discovered the Father's body.

I need to speak to you
regarding that.

I've told you so many times.
You even came two days ago.

Did I?

Your department.

He was there, too.

They interrogated me for two hours.

Our neighbours asked so many questions.

Now you've come to my workplace!
What do you want from me?

Everyone told me not to
get involved with the police.

I didn't listen.

I should have walked out
when I saw the dead body.

A sniffing dog would have
landed at your house then.

You're threatening me?

I'm just responding.

Look-

you people come again and again
and ask the same questions.

"Why did you go to church?"

"Why did you go in the morning?"

"When did you see Father's dead body?"

"Was he alive when you saw him?"

Is that it?

Leave now. Please.

I've not come here to inquire
about seeing the Father's body.

Then?

If it was a murder, maybe you witnessed it?

Next time, try to tell me
the whole truth.

Next time?
He takes his time investigating.

Sir... Yeah? That's
Thendral's house.

Go on.

I must see that old man again?

Nobody home?

Here he comes.

Is Thendral here?

She left to work.

You've already inquired.

Why have you...?

It's the new A.C.
He wants to re-inquire.

Let her know we came by.

Okay, sir.

I'm sure the A.C heard the old man.

But I'll do my duty anyway.
Wretched job!

Sir, she's left to work.

What now?
Back to the school?

Not necessary.
She'll come to the station.

Don't take this lightly as it's just a
missing person's case.

Update me by morning.
Okay, sir.

A girl called Thendral
is here to meet you.

Sit.

I told you not to come to my work place.
And you came to my house?

Is it okay for a girl
to come to the police station?

If you're okay with it...

we'll call you here
whenever we have questions.

What's your question now?
Tell me.

Is this your chain?

I'm not a christian.

Alex!
Sir?

Yes, sir.
When is your pilgrimage?

Next week, sir.
I wanted to apply for leave...

We'll talk later.

Thank you, sir.

I go to the church every week.
Does that make me a christian?

It makes no difference.

Jesus, Gandhi, Che Guevara...
have all become fashion symbols these days.

First of all, that's not my chain.

Besides, I go to the church every month
to collect the funds from the Trust.

I called the Father the previous evening...
Oh, she's started again!

But when I went inside,
the Father wasn't there.

When I went to the confession hall,
he was lying there dead.

I don't even remember
how I got out.

I remember taking my scooter out.

You had your scooter?

While entering, was the main gate
half open or fully open?

It was fully open.

Did you park your scooter
to the left or right?

On the right side.

Did you use the side stand
or the center stand?

Why?
Just answer me.

Side stand.

Did you lock it?

Yes.

You must have looked in the mirror
at least once?

Nothing nice to look at.

Did you see anything or anyone
moving in the surroundings?

No.

Any cars or bikes?

No.

You must have seen something.
Think hard.

The time of Father's death
and your arrival are more or less the same.

I think I saw a car.

But she didn't tell me!

Not that I asked.

Was it this car?

Yes, looks like it.

Was anyone there inside the car?

No.
Really?

I said, no.

Okay, cool.

Then?

Then I went into the church.

There are three entrances.

Did you take the main entrance
or the side entrance?

The main entrance was closed.
So I took the side entrance.

Which entrance did you exit from?

I said, I left in a hurry
and I don't remember.

Did you miss something?

No.
Think about it.

No.

He's gifting her
during an on-going interrogation?

Is this yours?

I missed my keychain
while taking out my scooter.

Then you must have been scared
while turning on the scooter?

Was the car still there?

It wasn't there then.

That's it.

Jessica came to church.

There was a struggle.

She could not have left alone.

Are you done?
May I leave?

Anyway...

Thanks a lot, Miss Thendral.
Don't mention it.

You're doing a good job investigating.

Thank you.
You're doing a good job covering up.

You won't call me again?

Hard to say.

You have not told me
the whole truth. So I might call again.

Why?
For witnessing a murder?

No.

Maybe you committed the murder.

I don't have to come back
when you call me.

Too much.
This is it.

Thirupathi...
Sir?

What do you think?

She's a nice girl.

I meant, the case.

Yes, I don't think she's our case.
She's a nice girl.

Do something.
Yes, sir?

Take two days off.

The A.C is all heated up now.
It's about to burst...

I'll handle the case
from my home, sir.

I am exit.

Yes, she has conceived!

Thank you, Doctor.
Thank you so much.

Two months and ten days.

I don't know what to say.
I'm so happy.

God had just delayed the happiness.

How should I care for my wife now?

Our mothers know best.
I have nothing to add.

As a doctor, I won't say anything.

You won't take me seriously anyway.

First, go home and celebrate.
Okay?

Our parents will be even happier than us.

Call them up, then.

Sure, Doctor.

Vetri, come in!

Your brother just called.
Your sister-in-law has conceived!

I'm going to become a grandmother.
Here, have these sweets.

You're going to become an uncle.

I'm so excited!

Come on in.

It's Vetri.

Vetri?

Keeping a secret from a cop, eh?

Everyone at home is ecstatic!

After all these years,
a child will call you 'mom' and 'dad'.

I'll be an uncle.

But that's not my source of happiness.

I'm happy when you and brother
are happy.

Give it to me.

Delivering some dialogues to your
sister-in-law?

As if you weren't delivering dialogues
all these years?

Oh, I should never have spoken to you.

Anyway, where's my treat?

My hearty wishes to both of you.

Thanks. Bye.
Bye.

You've shifted your house, huh?

What do you want?

I need to meet you
about the case.

I can't see you now.

I'm seeing you right now.

Stop bluffing.

Are you standing outside my house again?
I'm not even there...

And you claim you're looking at me?

Can't see you outside that house.

But at Ashok Nagar,
Majestic Flats No-15...

you've been spotted at
the 2nd floor balcony.

Hi.

I won't have to call to check your
whereabouts now.

Why would you want to do that?
For the case.

Why, for committing murder?
No.

For plotting a murder.

You're a police officer.
Is it nice to flirt?

Flirt?

When I wake up in the morning
and drink a hot cup of coffee...

and the feeling of relaxation
I get after a workout?

That's what I feel
when I talk to you.

You'll never solve this case.

You won't find even a tiny clue.

This is my curse to you.

Not a tiny clue.

Let me find a big one.

Is it true that the deceased is
Jessica from Ski TV?

Not now, sorry.

Have you confirmed that it's Jessica?

They've confirmed only with
the external marks now.

Is the post-mortem taking place here?

Yes, sir.
The body has decomposed badly...

so the commissioner ordered the post-mortem
at scene of crime.

Thirupathi...
Sir?

Collect all the things
in the car without fail.

Informed the husband?

I just did...

but the other channels got here
even before.

Where is the post-mortem taking place?

Sir...

It's unlikely that she was chopped.

It must have decayed already...

and vultures or dogs
must have ripped it apart.

Sir, another ten minutes.

The internals will be complete.
I'll give you a complete report.

Okay, I'll be around.

I thought we'd find a clue
about the Father once we find Jessica.

Now she's gone.

The Father who absolved her sins
is not alive.

The confessor Jessica is not alive, either.

What was the sin?

Something that was known
only to the Father and Jesus...

was known to someone else.

Excuse me, sir.

Cause of death is a physical wound...
A slit on the right wrist.

She's died due to bleeding.

One more important thing, sir.

She was pregnant.

Look at the time!

The minister is on call.

Leader?

Not at all.
Take your time, leader.

We need you and madam
to shower your blessings.

Okay, leader.

When is the leader coming?
It's getting late.

Another ten minutes.
Get to work.

Hurry up!

You should be happy now.
Why do you look so glum?

I can't, mother.

Can't what?

Isn't this wrong?

You didn't do it deliberately.

Stop looking so sad.

Put on a smile.

Mother...

I need to use the restroom.

Go freshen up.
And make it quick.

The minister is almost here.

Are you happy now?
Thanks for your wishes!

You wanted a grandson so badly.

Now you've got a male heir
to your political life!

Yes, leader?

Is the function over?
Or just about to begin?

It's just beginning, leader.
Where is the girl?

Dad?

Where is Vidya?

She went to the bathroom.
Go check on her.

Okay, dad.

Just a minute.

Vidya!
What's happened?

She refuses to open up.
We've been knocking.

Vidya!

Vidya! Open up.

Open the door.

Vidya!

Brother...

She's here.

She's on her scooter.

She's about to start the scooter.

Watch where you're going!

Let me go.

Help!

Let's get out of here.

Start the car.
Let's go, brother.

Come on!

Hello.

Black colour Scorpio car.

TN 09 F 8479

I want all the details of the vehicle.
Quick.

Thanks.
For what?

For lifting up your scooter?

Or saving your chain?

Didn't look like they wanted my chain.

It looked like an attempt to murder.
Could be.

If the people who killed the Father
had seen you...

they might try to kill you.

Will you please stop this?

Fine, let's say I saw something.
Then what?

Trouble began only when you started
following me around for inquiry.

Please try to understand.

Stop following me around.
Please.

Till you tell me the whole truth,
I will follow you.

That's my duty.

You only think about your duty.

But I have my responsibilities.

I have to take care of my parents.

I need to be alive for their sake.

Don't take my life into any risk.

Hello.
Jagan from Control Room, sir.

I checked the details. No vehicle has
been registered under that number.

Okay, thank you.

Should have killed her in the church that
day and tossed her in the garbage, too.

Did she see you that day?

Shut up.

Why else would she go to the police?

We saw her.
She must have seen us, too.

That's why I sent you.

Let it go this time.

I won't miss next time.

Yes, John?
It was a miss today.

They screwed up.

They won't miss next time.

Okay, will do.

When are you coming?

Okay.

What's her name?

Thendral.
Yes, Thendral.

Put that on hold.

Why?

Give it a week.
I'll let you know.

Find her house address, meanwhile.
Okay?

Okay.

Why have you come now?

To let everyone know
this address, too?

Look, you're mistaken about me.

Let's not talk now.
Go away.

What is it?

Dad, he's come to meet you.

Come in, sir.

Sir...

I didn't invite you only out of respect
for your profession...

but also due to
fear of being spotted by people.

My daughter has told you
everything she knows.

What more do you want?

Not just her, the whole family
has been inconvenienced.

We even shifted our house for this.

You've come here, too.
Where will we go?

Tell me. How can my daughter be with you
till you close the case?

I've not raised a boy.
She's a girl!

She's 24 now.
We're looking for a groom.

If the police constantly come and go,
who will marry my daughter?

I'll marry her.

You want to know who will
marry your daughter.

I will.

I'm not saying this because
I happened to meet her.

I happen to like her job.

With her educational qualification,
she can make a lot of money.

And yet, she chose a job
she's passionate about.

The job at the play school,
I like that, too.

Discuss this with your daughter.

Besides...

you shifted your house for superstitious
reasons. Don't blame it on us.

I need to talk to you.

Not over the phone.

In person.

Where?

I understand you wanted to
meet alone.

But why here?

I only told you part of the truth
about what I saw.

I hid the rest.

It wasn't just Jessica's car that I saw.

I also saw another car
and four men.

I don't know them, but they looked
like the bad sort of people.

If I see them again,
I can surely identify them.

Why are you telling me this now?

I don't have to speak the truth
to a police officer.

But to someone I like,
I can't lie.

Sir, your wife is calling.

Wife?

A chill selfie on a sunny day?

Very cute!
Unfortunately, she doesn't have parents.

Many such children from the orphanage
are students here.

You're truly gifted, Thendral.

You're around so many children
even before marriage.

Put your kids here, too!

You've chosen a great girl.

As long as you like it.

I like your family so much,
I posted the group selfie on Facebook.

With the caption
"Having a lovely moment with my family."

You don't have the copyrights yet!
How could you do that?

I had the rights to go into your kitchen
and make coffee for everyone...

I don't need copyrights anymore.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Sister-in-law?

Sister-in-law!

Give me your phone.

What happened to your phone?

It ran out of charge.
I need to make a call.

Why do you look so low?

You've been like this
for a week now.

Why?

No such thing, Vetri.

Okay, I'll stay out of it.

Sorry.

Vetri...

It's just...

More than feel upset about
not having a child...

I've suffered in this house.

Mother-in-law and her friends...

You know how they used to talk.

But now everything has changed.

Your mother and brother
take extremely good care of me.

Yes, everyone is happy.

This is nothing to feel sad about.

In case...

there's no baby,
what would happen to me?

I doubt if I'd always be
with your brother.

So I'm even more nervous
about the birth of the child.

You feel this way now.

But later, with medicines, education,
and other things to worry about...

you'll wish you hadn't had a baby.

Don't talk like that.

Then?
Why do you worry about these things?

First, decide a name
and which school to put the child in.

Forget about this.
Here, take this.

Now, cheese!

That's good.

These are the things we collected
from Jessica's car.

We cross-verified.
All of these are her belongings.

No matter how many times we dig up,
it's the same books, soaps and combs.

It won't change.

The question paper is the same,
but two students get different grades.

Why, Thirupathi?

One is a smart student,
and the other is dull.

Why do you ask?

You'll see.
Okay.

Check if there's a CCTV camera
in this petrol bunk.

Okay, sir.

We have so much evidence.
Why are you only looking into the bill?

Look at the date.

A day after she went missing...

On the day of her murder,
she has filled petrol.

Get it?

I get it.

You're an A.C by education.
I'm an S.I through experience.

Sir!

I need to ask you something.
What?

Like the movie dialogue, "Of all the
girls, why did I fall of Jessie?"

Why do you give so much importance
to Jessica's case?

You really want to know.

Ball is in your court, sir.

Five years back,
when I was an inspector at R-6 station...

a man came to complain
about his missing wife.

I didn't take it seriously then.

I said she must be pissed,
she'll return in two days.

Two days later, there was only news
about her body being found.

The case went to another officer.

But I've still not been able to
give him the answers.

I wanted to give Jessica's husband
all the answers.

But it's too late.

But I'll put an end to this case soon.

Try to understand, please.

That day, what happened was, I went to my
friend's house, they invited me for drinks.

Thirupathi.
Sir?

Ask him to turn off his cell phone.

He looks like a rich guy
but not very smart.

Please try to understand!

What?
Please cut the call.

So what?

This is a petrol bunk.
If it explodes, we'll all blast away.

No problem. It's my privacy.

Privacy?

He's going to burn up the petrol bunk
with his sizzling romance.

I'm exit.

Last week, Wednesday evening, 4:30 pm...

Someone filled 72.5 liters
petrol for 4,422 rupees.

I know it's not easy to remember.

But if any of you can recall,
please let me know.

How much?

72.5 liters.

No one fills for 72.5 liters.

They must have filled the tank.

60-80 liters means Scorpio or Fortuner.

What about Audi A 6?

60 liters.

Yes, sir. A Fortuner car did
fill their tank on that day.

How come you're so sure?

It was my wife's birthday.

I filled petrol for that car
right before my shift ended.

A black car.

Manager.
Sir?

I want to check the CCTV footage.
Okay, sir.

Tell me.

Where are you?

I'm on an inquiry about Jessica.

I'll be late if I wait for you to pick me
up. Shall I come to the cinema directly?

Sizzling romance here too?

Oh, sorry.

Looks like I'm your second wife.

What do you mean?

That's why you're always
with your first wife.

Oh, darn!

What happened?

I forgot to remove the clothes from drier.

Okay, I'll call you back.
Bye.

What?
Is it ready?

We're checking the time
you asked us to check.

Yeah.
Maximize Camera-2.

Fast-forward a bit.

Forward... forward, forward...

Yeah...

Stop! Stop!

Back, back, back.

A little more.

Yeah. Move it frame by frame.

Slow.
MAZE HDRelease

Freeze!

Sir, this is the vehicle.

Zoom into the driver's side.

The focus isn't clear.
Move to the next seat.

Full tight.

Thendral, I was just going to call you.

What is it?

I told you about the guy I saw in the car,
at the church...

Yeah... He's come
here looking for me.

What are you saying?

In the same car!

Not just him.

The guy who snatched my chain
the other day... he's here too.

And two other guys.

Where are you?

I'm at home.

Just do as I say.
First, go lock the main door.

Why?

Just do as I say!

Go lock the main door.

Thirupathi!
Sir?

I need a bike.

Bike?
Let's go for a movie today.

The bike is ready, sir!

Seize that guy!

Lock all the other doors.

Who is at home?

Just dad and I...
Should I tell dad?

No, he'll get worked up.

What else?
Should I call the police?

Hang up and call them!

Sorry, sorry!

Okay, don't hang up.
Stay on the line.

Don't talk to that guy.
I really don't like him.

Look, I don't want you to talk to him.

Yeah, that's it.

Shameless bugger!

He's getting ready for action,
but his wife is already gone!

Thendral? Can you hear me?

Turn off all the electrical
appliances at home.

I've... turned everything off.

Sit by the viewfinder at the main door.

Friends, neighbours, whoever rings the
bell, don't open the door for anyone.

Okay?
Don't let your dad open the door, too.

At any cost, whoever it might be,
don't open the door. Don't open...

Shit!

There is no vehicle down there.

Yeah... there's no one there.

I don't get it.

Don't open the door till I say so.
Remain indoors.

Sir?

Where are you coming from?
Second floor, sir.

Did you see a car parked here?

No, sir. I didn't see any vehicle.

Fine, go.
Okay.

Sir, all surrounding traffic signals
have been instructed to trace that jeep.

Okay.

Check all the surrounding streets.

Okay, sir.
Okay, sir.

Hey... did they come for real?

Or was this your plan to get me here?

I'm so tensed, and you're joking?

Okay, okay. Cool!

I've got two plain-clothed policemen
in charge of security for your house.

For security?
Yeah.

They've followed you all the way home.
We can't take it lightly anymore.

You said the clue to one murder
would be another murder...

I might have become your clue!

Why are you saying such things?

This case will be solved in a week.

I don't know if you were
telling the truth...

But I've come all the way just for you.

Can't you get me a glass of chilled water?

Why should I?

Like all cops,
you turned up only in the end!

You won't?
It's not like my house is miles away!

I'll go home and drink.

Let's not tell our parents anything.
They'll worry.

Hey, firstly this is official for me.

As a police officer,
I know when to divulge information.

Okay?

You take care.
I'll call back. Bye.

Shaktivel...
Sir?

Is the post-mortem report ready?
It is, sir.

Have you cross-checked the time of death?
Yes, sir.

Abhi...

When I got her married into this family,
I thought my girl would be happy.

Now she's died so young!

Abhi used to tell me...

"More than being a good wife...

it's important to become a mother."

"Like everyone says..."

"I'm just a child bearing machine, right?"

"I don't have any value or respect."

She kept talking that way.

I don't know what made her
come to this decision.

Excuse me, sir.

According to the post-mortem report,
there are no injuries.

There's a bruise on the neck
from strangulation.

Internally, her wind pipe has been damaged.

There are no signs of intruders.

According to your mother and brother's
statement, no money or jewels have gone missing.

As of now, it's a suicide, sir.

But...

We need to inquire your brother
about the motive.

What did we ask you?
We only wanted a baby!

When the Gods had finally blessed us,
you've ruined everything now.

You didn't ask for anything?

We said we'll give you
the money you asked for.

But you killed my daughter before that!

Inform me after the interrogation
reports are done. Sure, sir.

What money?
Who asked for it?

Why are they talking that way?

If it wasn't you,
why did she ask for 5 million?

Her dad said he'll arrange for it, too.

We asked for money?

If not you,
it must have been your son.

You couldn't wait for two days?

If you'd waited,
my daughter wouldn't have died.

Why is she talking this way?

That's an unfair accusation!

What wrong did we do?

Wonder what my child went though,
in this house...

Oh, my child!

Vetri, you might hold your brother
and sister-in-law in such high regard...

But I don't feel that way.

Whatever it is, speak clearly.

I had posted the family
group selfie on Facebook.

My friend Rekha saw the picture
and called me up.

When I mentioned
your sister-in-law's pregnancy...

She told me something about your brother.

What did she say?

She's a doctor.

Six months back, your brother had gone
to the fertility clinic where she works.

Tests revealed your brother doesn't
have even a 10% chance to procreate.

She said it couldn't be cured
with any treatment.

She said it was surprising
that his wife is pregnant.

Forget what she said.

What are you trying to say?

What's there to say, Vetri?

Maybe an old contact from her workplace,
or an extra-marital affair...?

Sir!

Good morning, sir.

Good morning, sir.

Sir!

Good morning.
The files he asked for?

All files are ready, sir.

Sir?

Abhinaya's interrogation reports...
sorry, sir.

Your sister-in-law's reports
just came in.

Thirupathi!

Sir?

Get me Jessica's autopsy report.

Here, sir.

This medicine will aid the secretion of

hormones that facilitate
the growth of eggs.

It's also used as a fertility drug
for artificial pregnancies.

Artificial pregnancy?

You mean test tube baby?

No! Not necessarily that...

Like I.V.F, I.C.I...
there are many processes and methods.

Since both these cases are unnatural deaths,
I have another point to add, Vetri.

Yes, Doctor?

There was a case last month. Minister
Vaidyalingam's daughter-in-law committed suicide.

At Anna Nagar West?
Exactly.

We found traces of this
medicine in her body, too.

Because of his political status,
it was barely covered by the media.

You'd have noticed.
Yes, doctor.

But all three have died.

Where do you think the problem lies?

We can't start suspecting everybody.

But if we interrogate their husbands,
we might find some clue.

You eat your food.
I'll give dad his tablets.

Come... you're late, too?

I got a little held up working
on sister-in-law's case.

How could you do this?

Do what?

Lie blatantly.

You lied to the police...

But you shouldn't have lied to me.

Lie?

What are you saying?

About sister-in-law.

What about her?

Why did you kill her?

What are you blabbering?

Was she really bearing your child?

What did you say?

What did you say about her?

Take your hands off me...

Tell me the truth!
You think you can say whatever you want?

Why did you hide the truth?
Tell me.

Don't you think it was wrong?

What am I hiding?

What am I hiding?

You're hiding something, tell me!

Vetri! Oh my god...

What are you both doing?

Let him go.
Let go of me!

Let go of each other.
Why are you two fighting?

What happened to you guys?
What are you doing?

He's hiding something about sister-in-law.
Ask him to come out with it!

Have you gone mad?
I'm not hiding anything.

Why are you two fighting
over someone who is dead?

No... she didn't just die.

You've all killed her.

What are you saying?

Yes... Since the day
he got married...

you've only been complaining
about the lack of a grandchild!

I've seen you point the
finger at her several times!

Every time someone comes home,
they keep asking if there's good news.

Every time she steps out,
they ask her if she's made it.

Some doctor, some hospital...
you just want a baby somehow, right?

Isn't that want you want?

It's not like that...

You've asked your daughter-in-law
so many times...

Have you asked your son at least once?

Answer me.

Ask him to answer me!

Yeah, fine!

The fault is with me.

The fault is mine.

I made a mistake.

But it's not what you think it is!

You know very well...

My wife and I visited so many hospitals,
doctors, and went on so many pilgrimages.

Finally, we got an appointment
at a reputed hospital.

Is this your first visit to our hospital?

Yes, doctor.

Where do you work?

I work as a Chief Engineer at RK Steels.

Then you must be exposed
to a lot of heat at work.

You have a healthy sex life.

But if you're thinking about a baby...

Your sperm count might be normal,
but it lacks mobility, health and speed.

Fifty out of hundred couples
suffer from this problem these days.

The reasons are several... the work
atmosphere, mental stress, diet etc.

This isn't a permanent problem.

Through proper treatment, we can increase
the quality of your sperm and have a child.

How long does this
treatment require, doctor?

One year at least.

If I undergo this treatment,
will everything be okay?

I can give you a sixty percent assurance...

The remaining forty percent,
it lies in the hands of God.

If you think you can't wait that long...

there's another method.

What's that method, doctor?

Artificial insemination.

What does that mean?

That means, for those who can't conceive
naturally, through injection...

your sperm can be fused
in your wife's womb.

The chance of conception
is 100%.

What's there to think?

So many women who can't conceive
through their husbands..

Use someone else's sperm
to have a child, legally.

This is your husband's sperm!

Why hesitate?

Name, please?
Shri Abhinaya.

Abhi?
Yes?

You're happy, right?

I am happy...

But I don't know how mom and dad
would react to this.

Why would they mistake us?

I'll talk to them.

No, dear.

Let no one know about this.

Let's not tell our parents either.

Let's not even tell Vetri about this.
Please.

Okay, I won't.
Don't worry.

After two months of proper follow up,
the treatment started.

We found results
for waiting all these years.

You knew how happy we were.

But I didn't ask for the 5 million
you accuse me of!

The hospital didn't want
such a huge amount either.

Madam, one selfie please?

Sir, you can go in.
Thank you.

Please be seated.
Thank you.

They said you're the brother-in-law
of the deceased Abhinaya.

Really, it's such a pity.

I don't know what drove her
to commit suicide.

She'd have had a baby in her hands
in another five months.

Is it really safe to have a baby
through artificial insemination, doctor?

What do you mean?

There are no chances of risk.

It's childish of you to say this
because your sister-in-law died.

Not just my sister-in-law...

Three other women who underwent artificial
insemination have died.

Is this childish to you?

Excuse me.

You ask me about sister-in-law,
that's fine...

Why do you unnecessarily
ask me about other people?

The police must ask questions.

I'm sorry.

I only wanted to have a
conversation with you...

But the way you spoke now...
this turned into an inquiry.

Another hospital had given reports
that my brother can't have a baby.

What do you have to say about this?

Simple!

You go to a doctor with a headache, one
might tell you it's an ordinary headache.

Another doctor might say it's dehydration.

Another doctor might ask for an MRI scan.

The point is correct
diagnosis and treatment.

Some doctors make big bucks
by saying a normal headache is a tumor.

Just saying.
Thirupathi!

Why are you suspicious?

Didn't you see them outside?
TV celebrities, Madhan-Kausalya.

Even they underwent an artificial
insemination, through legal means.

We maintain those records confidentially.

Like the couple who elope secretly
and post the selfie on Facebook!

I meant... you maintain secrets
really well! Keep it up.

Anyway...

How many of your hospital's franchises
are involved in artificial insemination?

Who were the patients?
I want the complete details.

Specifically, your hospital reports.

You can get those only at the
Indian Medical Association.

But you need legal permission for that.

It isn't easy.

You husband isn't just
this hospital's Dean...

He's one of the board members at the
Indian Medical Association.

So, you can do it.

Manual, and all electronic records.
Nothing should be left out.

Sure. I'll have it ready tomorrow morning.

Sorry, ma'am.
I need it in two hours.

Well... okay!

I'll pass on the instructions.

If you don't mind,
can you make it now?

Immediately arrange for full reports on all patients
who underwent A.I. treatment at our hospital.

Thank you, doctor.

If I require any further details,
I'll contact you.

Sure.

What's with the sudden brakes, huh?

Balu Saloon!

A shave or a haircut?

Get me yesterday's copy
of Dinarakan newspaper.

Okay.

Here you go, sir.

Hello.

Tulasi here. You need to come.
We've got a situation.

Sir.

We've inquired everyone who underwent
artificial insemination at Varam Hospital.

Out of which...

Vidhya, your sister-in-law Abhinaya
and Jessica died after pregnancy.

All six suffered unnatural deaths.

Their families don't
know the reason either.

We don't know what or where
things went wrong...

Is it the hospital?
Or just a coincidence?

Or maybe...

What is it, sir?

I'm extremely sorry, Vetri.

What I said about your sister-in-law...

...was wrong.

When I was investigating Jessica's case,
my sister-in-law used to jokingly say...

"What's the big deal with this case?
I can help you with it."

Now she is a part of the case.

So you think you can solve these four cases
with her death?

Twenty three.

That will give me the answer.

In just this hospital, 436 people have
undergone artificial insemination treatments.

Six of them have died.

Apart from these people...

The files of about half the people
have been marked with the code '23'.

Above all this...

My sister-in-law had asked her parents for
5 million without our knowledge.

My brother nor the hospital
asked for this 5 million.

But someone needed the money.

Ma'am, bill.

You never answer my calls at night.

Why?
Are you scared of your wife?

Bye!
Bye.

Will you come to office tomorrow?

Don't tell your mom that we all met
this aunty and had ice-cream. Okay?

Oh, is that so?

If you want me to remain quiet,
get me another milkshake.

Sure!

Yay!
Yay.

If you don't mind,
can you drop me at the school?

I'm getting late.

Thendral...
Yes?

Looking at these incidents,
this could be a case of blackmail?

Thendral?

Thendral!

My god!

Shit!

I told you not to mess with a cop's family.
You didn't listen to me!

See... you shouldn't get sentiments
and emotions mixed up with business.

The mistake wasn't messing with him.

Letting them both escape alive...
that was the mistake!

You screwed up.
Don't blame me!

Till we sort this out,
we'll put the next target on hold.

No.

We've started.
And it's a major target.

We should get the amount
within two days.

Don't trust the others.
You get the job done.

Got it?

Okay.

No trespassers. Don't allow anyone
inside without proper ID cards.

Including doctors.

Thank you.
Okay, sir.

I dragged you into such a great risk.

I'm extremely sorry.

Did they come to kill you,
or me?

Either way, your safety is important.

I've got two policemen on security
till you get discharged from the hospital.

Don't worry.

But you've put me in this hospital again?

Don't be afraid.

I'll take care.

You won't stay here with me?

I'll always be with you.

Is that a movie dialogue?

Okay, I have some work at office.

I'll be back.

Take rest.

Vetri...

Why should they blackmail someone?

I swear on my unborn baby...

I didn't do anything wrong.

Believe me, please.

Believe me.

Cloth?

Sorry, we're done for now.

That's enough, please move.

Madam, two police officers are here
to see you.

Okay, I'll take care.

Madam?

Watching your series, the whole country
has learnt how to raise a child.

I've laid the groundwork.
Your turn now.

I got to know at the hospital
that your wife has conceived.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

When you're a public figure...

competition, jealousy, money, enemies
are aplenty.

Have you made any such enemies recently?

Not particularly, sir.

I mean...

Has someone called you in the last week,
threatening you for money?

No sir, I received no
such threats or calls.

If something did happen,
you don't have to fear.

You can trust me.

My department and I will provide
all the support you need.

Sir...
No!

I'm telling you we got no such calls,
and you keep asking the same thing?

If something does happen, you
can call me anytime. Sir!

We said nothing happened.
Why do you keep asking us the same thing?

We need some privacy.

Anyway, thanks... just for the coffee!

I don't think you'll need my number.
See you.

How do you speak such lengthy dialogues?
Does someone write them, or you make it up?

Sir, she might be a little arrogant,
but she's a nice lady.

But I hate that guy's face.

They should fire this guy.

And cast someone else in his place.

Ravi.

TV artists Madhan and Kausalya.

Immediately tap both their
mobile and landline numbers.

Particularly, record all
the incoming calls.

I'm on my way.

Sir.

Good evening.

The numbers you wanted to tap...
there was an incoming call 5 minutes back.

I've recorded and saved it.

Why didn't you answer the phone?
I was at the shoot, so I couldn't.

When are you going to pay up?

Sorry, I couldn't cancel the shoot today.

I'll draw the money from the bank tomorrow.

Which bank?
SBI Bank in Saligramam.

You live in Valasaravakkam, right?
Yes.

After you get the money,
you'll get a call.

Okay.

If you disregard our deal
and go to the police instead...

You'll lose your status and public image.

No, that won't happen.

We'll definitely pay up.

The call lasted only 45 seconds.

So it's difficult to trace the location.

Sir, the money will change hands either
at the bank, or at their house.

The bank and their house, they aren't
safe locations for the criminal.

The plan would be to get the money
somewhere on the way.

We'll get to know that
only if they call again.

I don't get why they're being blackmailed.

Last ten seconds...
rewind and replay it.

If you disregard our deal
and go to the police instead...

You'll lose your status and image.

Sir, they've left.

They've got into the car.

Guys, get started.

The department will pay for this!

Stop! Stop that.

Now you'll salute!

Sir, Madhan is getting a call.

Connect the call.

Sir, this is Kumar from Dindugul.

I'm a huge fan.

Your performance on TV last week
made me cry, sir!

Especially Madam,
she made me sob uncontrollably.

Sir, I need to know if you
fought with your wife.

Otherwise, my wife wouldn't believe
I spoke to you.

My wife is also a hardcore fan, sir.

Sir, will your wife remain at home next week,
or will she fight with you and leave the house?

What?
I meant in the TV show!

Tell her we got divorced.
Madam!

Stupid...

Thirupathi, make a U turn and wait.

Turn left.

The signal is on,
and there is no one yet.

Everyone be alert.

The signal has turned green!

Don't stop the car.
Go straight.

Go! Go!

Go on!

Shit!

He's in the vehicle!
Come!

Move!

Come on, fast.

Thirupathi, ask the ambulance to follow.

Get out!

Shit.
MAZE HDRelease

Get out.
Out!

Check all around!

Why did you stop us?

Where is the man
who got into your car?

Where is he?

Shit!

Damn it.

It's a failed attempt.

It's not!

Are you okay, sir?

Stop it!

Stop it.

Stop it...

When the department conducts an operation,
there are always two plans.

Plan A... and Plan B.

You got caught in Plan B.

Tell me...

Why did you blackmail them?

Father... Jessica... Vidhya...

My sister-in-law, Abhinaya...

and countless other people.

You need to give me answers.

Stop it!

Stop it.

Stop it.

Record.

I'm not afraid.

The day our crimes are exposed...

the crimes of the others
would be exposed, too.

So tell me...

What's happening at the hospital?

What are the doctors doing?

Doctors!

You think it's just the doctors?

Jessica.

Ski TV MD's wife.

You only know she's a big cricket fan.

She was a mad fan of
the all-rounder, Vinod Mehra.

Fans get autographs, or click photos.

But you know what she did?

She was obsessed with having a baby
who'd be a cricket player like him.

So she paid several millions to get his sperm
cells from Varam hospital's sperm bank.

That too, without her
husband's knowledge.

Minister Durai Singam.

He wasn't bothered about his son's
inability to have a baby.

He was more worried
about having a political heir.

But because his son couldn't...

He made his own daughter-in-law...

use his sperm cells to...

Whose fault is it?

When others make a mistake for money,
should I protest?

We do protest.
By asking for money.

We killed the Father who knew the truth,
and Jessica who blurted the truth.

The minister wouldn't co-operate with us, so
we revealed the truth to his daughter-in-law.

What did she do?
She committed suicide.

Doctor, Jessica, the minister...
I get what they did wrong.

What wrong did my sister-in-law do?

You really need to know? Huh?

Hello?
Abhinaya?

Yes, who is this?

That's not important!

But you need to know something.

Hello, without knowing who you are,
I don't need to know anything from you!

Hello, what do you want?

There is no point in getting angry.

Soon you'll have a baby shower
and deliver a child.

Why so short tempered?

You're angry already?
Then wait till you hear this.

That child might be yours...

but it's definitely not your husband's.

Dr. Tulasi. Varam Hospital.

Artificial insemination.

You think only you and your husband
know about this.

No!

That's not true.

Ask the doctor who was lying to you all
this time. You'll know what the truth is!

That baby in your womb
isn't your husband's!

When the baby is born,
it might look like you.

But it won't look like your husband!

"Eyes like dad."
"Nose like dad."

You'll never find any resemblance
to say those things!

Doctor?

What is it?

Talk to me.

This child in my womb...
it's ours, right?

Why do you doubt that?
It is your baby!

I didn't mean that.

This baby belongs to
me and my husband, right?

I'm asking you!

Answer me, doctor.

Please.

Is my husband
the father of this child?

No.

The fetus was not formed using
your husband's sperm cells.

We used someone else's sperm cells
from the sperm bank.

Because your husband's sperm cells can't
be used to procreate.

Then why did you lie to us?

If I had told you...

Would you have agreed to undergo the
treatment using someone else's sperm cells?

Even if your family didn't know it,
would your husband have agreed to it?

What was the necessity to do this?

In today's situation,
the more you delay having a baby...

I've seen how the society looks at
a woman and her husband.

As a doctor, I know that too well.

I didn't want you to experience that.

I empathized as a mother.

Now, you tell me...

Did I do something wrong?

If you still feel it was wrong,
you can take action against me.

Look...

Even if isn't just for you,

At least for your husband's reputation
in the society, this has to be done.

What do you want now?

Your husband and his family think the
baby is their family's heir.

If they shouldn't know the truth,
we need a deal, right?

The cost of the deal is 5 million,
with no taxes deducted!

I don't have so much money.

You and your husband might
not have the money.

Your dad was a normal person,
but he's a big wig after winning this case.

He's inherited 40 million.
We're asking for just 25% of that.

He wouldn't give the money
if his daughter asks for it?

If you think about telling your husband
or the police...

You must have seen it on the TV
and newspapers a month back.

Like Jessica and the Father who died... you
and your husband will meet the same fate!

Not just that,
your happiness will be ruined.

I can't even concentrate
on work these days.

I'm busy making lists of baby names
for a boy or a girl.

What do you wish for?

A boy, or a girl?

I'm just happy that we're having a baby
after all these years.

Okay.

Let it be a boy or a girl...
forget about the name, too.

Guess the baby's initials.

A?

No!

A.S.

A for Aravind...

S for Sri Abhinaya.

A child isn't something
that only the dad can claim rights over!

You bear so much pain
just to give me the identity as a father.

I must give you this honour.

What a surprise, Abhi!
What is it?

Even the scans are due only next week.

I hope you're completely
clear and alright now.

Can you do something for me?

Of course.
I'm at your disposal.

I want an abortion, doctor.

What are you saying?

Yes, doctor.

I want to abort this baby.

This is your baby!
No.

This is not my baby.

If I ever have a baby...

it would only be my husband's.

For a woman,
being a mother is the most important thing.

I hope you'll understand that.

Being a mother is enough?

I need to be pure for him.

I want to be faithful to him.

That's enough for me.

You'll have an heir.

Your family tree will be cut off.

Enough, doctor.

Is this what you tell all your patients?

Having a baby isn't everything.

I don't know how he'd treat me,
if I don't have this baby.

But I'll take even better care of him.

We can do the abortion
only with your husband's permission.

Whose permission did you require
to do this to me?

I don't care what you tell him.

I don't want this.

If you want to save yourself...

do as I say.

All these years, I was yearning
to feel the contraction pains.

But I can't handle this pain.

How can I help you?

Is Aravind home?

He just left for the factory.
You are...?

My name is Guna.
I was his classmate in college.

He asked me to come home today.

He didn't mention anything.

Please wait...
Okay.

Who are you people?

Why are you coming inside?

Help!

Don't shout.

You couldn't recognize my voice?

You said we'll get the deal done.

So... We came here to
get everything done!

The second you said you didn't
want this baby, we knew it!

You'd tell on us any moment.

You're making a mistake.

I've made a mistake...

I didn't tell my husband or Vetri
about this.

We guessed as much.

Besides, that's a part of the thrill.

Since I'm emotional,
I'll give you one final chance.

John?
Talk to me.

She's being stubborn.

You should talk to her.

Turn the speaker on.
Okay.

Abhi, look...

Let's cancel the deal.
You don't have to give us any money.

But you mustn't harm the baby.

Your husband might not
be the baby's father...

but you're the mother, right?

You can live happily ever after -
you, your husband, your baby, your family.

Gaurav, give it a shot.

If she doesn't co-operate,
finish her.

Now, tell me!

Do you want the baby, or not?

Sir?

You just shot him?

He knew all the details.

You've killed the only evidence we had.

What evidence?

For the sake of evidence,
we're letting everyone slip by!

He's not of any use to us.
Let him die!

Sorry, sir.

When the officer was investigating him,
what's our duty?

We should have guarded the gun.
We were careless!

He took the gun and started shooting at us!

Thank god, the officer shot
him and saved our lives.

Thank you, sir.

Sir, it's been fully recorded.

'Fully' recorded, huh?
Yes, sir.

You fool!
You tell me now.

You just brought it straight
from the department?

You must check the condition of the
equipment, if the batteries are charged.

It needed to be serviced.
And you've brought it here!

Now... only half of it is on record!

Only till he was talking.
It didn't record when he shot at us!

Sorry, sir.

Useless fellows.

I am exit.

Sir, this system has details of all couples who
underwent artificial insemination at Varam Hospital.

Is this from the hospital's database?
Yes, sir.

Sir, not just that...

They have hacked into the databases of all
fertility hospitals in the city.

Yes, doctor?
Mr. Vetri...

We just got reports of the
DNA tests you'd requested.

The male DNA of the three deceased women's
fetus didn't belong to their husbands.

I know, doctor.
One more shocking news...

All three male DNAs belonged
to the same person.

Even if it's legal,
all three suffered unnatural deaths.

If we check with the doctor who treated them, or
the sperm bank that provided the sperm cells...

we'll know the details.

What's the name?

John Mathew, sir.

I meant your wife's name.

Sujitha, sir.
She's a doctor.

Wife's a doctor,
and you're a medical representative?

Must be a love marriage?

Yes, sir.

How long has she gone missing?
Last two days, sir.

First go file an F.I.R.
I'll take care of the rest.

Sir, please sir.
Just find her somehow.

Yes, artificial insemination.

As a doctor, I've done this for so
many people, with or without consent.

I must help myself, too.

Suji... I want a baby with you.

I want him to call me 'dad'.

Why would I want
to have a baby like 'you'?

I'll have the kind of child I want.

Got it?

You want me to be a slave
to the husband by having your baby?

I neither need a husband, nor do I have
to sleep with anyone else to have a baby.

I just need a stranger's 23 chromosomes.

No, Suji...

Don't do this.

I want 'our' baby.
No way.

Divorce me, then.

You can be the dad on record,
if you want.

I want to be a dad.

I want to be a dad.

Who are you to decide if
I should be a father or not?

You cheating scum!

Didn't I tell you?
Money is the starting point for all of us.

Hello.

I want to be a father.

The vision is now clear.

I need to know about the medical representatives
who supply fertility medicines to Varam Hospital.

Okay, sir.

Ravi...
Sir?

2009... on the eve of Christmas.
That's December 24th.

A guy called John Mathew came to R-6 police station
to register a case about his missing wife.

I need his address and full details
about his current occupation. Get it.

Sir!
Sir, what about you?

Varam Hospital. Dr. Tulasi.

For couples in the U.S.
who couldn't have kids...

I've treated so many patients successfully
using another person's sperm cells!

But here in India, all people think
about is 'my baby' and 'my heir'.

They're sentimental idiots
immersed in their culture.

They'll refuse to use
someone else's sperm cells.

Only ten out of hundred
will agree to it.

If we do this to ten people,
it isn't business.

When we do it to a hundred people,
that's business!

A fetus is formed when 23 chromosome
strands of a male fuse with a female's.

And choosing the 23 male
chromosome strands...

We get to decide that.

We are the gods!

And it's 'Operation 23'.

That's our business.

We've done this to so many people
over the years.

We've never had any problems.

But now three clients have died
because of you.

You have proof?

Send him in.

Yes, sir?

He's the assistant from the sperm bank.
You must know him!

Unknown to the patients,
we stored the sperm in Storage Number 23...

you swapped it with your sperm
illegally, in the place of our sperm,

and blackmailed them.

You've stolen the clients'
data through him.

Without our knowledge, you've
emotionally blackmailed the patients.

What we're doing is white-collar crime.

Don't get us exposed
because of your acts.

If I refuse?

There are so many excuses
in the medical field.

We know how to weave our way out of it.

If you're committing a
white-collar crime...

What I am about to commit...

is a red-collar crime!

Don't forget to bring the scan reports.
Okay.

I need to meet Dr. Tulasi.

She's in a meeting with the Dean.
Just wait here, sir.

Thank you.

Some doctors conduct illegal artificial insemination
treatments, and the code they use for that is...

Twenty three.

This team of blackmailers
use that to their leverage.

Money, money, money!
Money makes it all.

All that's fine, your sister-in-law,
Abhinaya, she died because of the blackmail?

No!

She was a regular middle-class woman driven by
the society's pressure to somehow have a baby...

which was misused by some doctors like you.
That's how Mrs. Abhinaya was killed.

Sorry, sir.

Don't blame the growth of medical science.

What's medical science?

If knowing the baby's gender before birth
is a medical science...

aborting the baby if it's a girl,
is that progress?

No!
It's a medical crime.

If the baby's birth is going to harm the
mother, getting it aborted is medical science.

But, when people get love and lust mixed
up, and get an abortion to save face?

It's a medical crime.

Similarly...

Legally having a baby through test tube or
injection methods... that's medical science.

But...
This is medical crime!

We look at doctors like gods.

Because they save lives.

Not because they kill lives.

If we need to know about
doctors operating illegally..

We need to catch the entire team
that blackmails the patients.

This is our evidence to lead to them.

All four of them are orphans.

They didn't just grow up at the same home,
they work together now.

These four people working at the medical
department are responsible for everything.

Excuse me, sir.

So Vetri, are you happy that
you're going to close the case?

You're almost near me.

If you don't want to get caught,
run away, John Matthew!

Don't try to catch me.

You lost your wife, didn't you?

She couldn't stand to live with you,
so she left.

I didn't lose my wife, Vetri...
I got rid of her!

Where are you?

First, you came after the doctor.
Now you're after me.

But did you see your wife at the hospital?

I mean your would-be, Thendral.

What do you mean?

Don't come after me,
and end up losing her!

I mean, she is slowly dying.

Where is she?

Twenty three!

Shit!

Twenty three!

Thendral!

Thendral!

Shit.

Thendral?

Thendral?

Thendral!

Thendral...

Hey! Take it easy, man!

Botulinium doxilin.

Slow and painless.

Attacks your respiratory system causing
paralysis, and eventually death.

As your pulse drops...

It's lights out, Vetri.

I'm not just medically trained, Vetri...

but also physically trained.

I should have killed you
when I had the chance.

The moment I saw your sister-in-law at
Varam Hospital, I had decided right then.

That I'd be the father of the baby
that grows in her.

Only my friends wanted the money.

For me,
it was an emotional attachment.

Yes!

She decided to get an abortion suddenly...
just like that!

Who is she to kill my baby? Huh?

That's why I bloody killed her.

Every criminal has his own
justification for doing wrong.

But that does not mean
he's not guilty.

They say a woman is complete
only when she becomes a mother.

But there are so many people
in this world without kids.

To think they'd misuse a medical science
that could relieve them of their pain...

It's scary!

We talk about parents who don't have kids.

But there are so many kids without parents.

Do they have a medical solution?

Lottery.
