Sir wants you to come inside and meet him.

-Sir. -Please sit.

-Have a seat. -Greetings, sir!

Did you start off early in the morning?

Yes, we took the train.

Came straight here.

JOY JOSEPH IPS#

Aleena, right?

-Abraham's wife? -Yes.

That night, when we got the call

regarding the housebreak,

SI and Abraham Mathew, patrolling the route, reached the spot in no time.

The sudden attack caught them off guard.

They couldn't do anything.

The SI barely survived.

I'm really sorry for your loss.

I know a simple "sorry" isn't enough.

But for anything you need,

this force and the state will always be there for you.

What about Aleena's family?

They're the only family I have, sir.

In place of Abraham Mathew,

the Department is offering you a clerical post.

Just let us know when you're ready.

I'll make sure you get the posting

close to your house.

Sir,

I don't want a clerical post.

I want one with the uniform.

Like my husband Aby,

I'll also join the police force.

-Where the hell were you? -Sir, I...

-Go fast! -Okay sir.

This looks nice, doesn't it?

Check this out.

This color will suit her.

It's even better than the sari you picked earlier.

Nice, isn't it?

Yeah, that's nice.

Shall we finalize this, then?

Yes, sir.

No. I will go myself to Bangalore for purchase, sir.

It's only matter of a week, right?

Better to go and purchase in person.

Okay sir. Alright.

Sir, it's a wedding shopping.

Oh, great! Happy married life!

Thank you!

No discount at all?

There's already a 20 percent discount, sir.

You're the manager, aren't you?

Can't you give us a better discount?

What's the final amount?

It's 90,450 rupees after the discount.

Okay, okay. Just a minute!

Please pass me the pen.

Happy now?

-Yeah! Okay, thank you. -Thank you!

-Okay. -Go ahead.

I've packed three pairs. Is that enough?

That's plenty.

Did Dad come?

Yeah, he's on the way.

Hey, look!

Don't know our new staff member, Meera?

The one from Palakkad?

-Yeah! -What happened?

I feel like she's into me.

Then I'll kill her.

What can I do?

I'm a gentleman.

Why are you worried?

I'm not that kind of guy.

Oh, Mr. Romeo!

Get going. Here!

Everything's packed. All set, ready.

-I'll get going then. -Okay.

Will call you whenever I'm free.

Another robbery on Kottayam–Kumily Highway.

Fifty-two sovereigns of gold

and five lakh rupees were reportedly stolen.

Our correspondent Vinod Bhaskar joins with more information.

Sini, The robbery took place yesterday...

at the house of Chungathara Jacob, 15 kilometers off the highway.

Three days ago,

a similar robbery occurred on the same highway.

We've also learned that...

the elderly woman who died at that house passed away of natural causes.

Vinod, is this a serial robbery?

It certainly looks that way, Sini.

Both robberies have followed the same pattern.

They happened along the Kottayam–Kumily Highway.

In both cases, the thief broke in through the back door.

Then we can all move in together.

I've had mild cramps since last night.

I think my period's coming.

I don't have much hope this time.

It could just be a gas trouble.

Instead of chatting here, one of you get back to duty.

We're having lunch, sir.

You've been at it for an hour. Why so long?

If you want to enjoy your food like this, you should eat at home.

What's his problem?

I wonder how his family puts up with him.

His wife's about to divorce him.

He's got no family.

Sir.

Sir, tell me her name. I'll look her up on Instagram or Facebook.

No... no need. Leave it.

Then, tell me her vehicle's registration number.

I'll check that.

Vehicle number...

KL.. 30...

What a shame!

Seriously, sir? You don't know even that?

All he knows is that she smiles at him.

Sreenath, note this number.

KL 27 T 2295, Nissan Micra car

-How? -I saw.

Sir, her name's Parvathy.

Care of Sadanandan.

Oh! So, Parvathy Sadanandan.

But... Is she married?

No way!

-Divya Ma'am... -So you already know all that.

After all, I am a cop.

I found her. Is this the person?

-Yeah. -Show me.

See.

-What do you think? -She looks nice.

Yeah, she is a good match for you, sir.

I've got a feeling this is going to work out.

So what if it's a little late, sir?

You're already an uncle to three kids.

That's what comes with being the eldest son in the family.

It's only natural.

-Am I right, Aleena ma'am? -You are!

-This will work out. -Hey, look over there!

Don't think you can fool me that easily.

That's Xavier sir. Come and see.

Get out of here. There's a limit.

Please listen to what I'm saying.

Let go of me! Don't you understand what I'm saying?

Isn't she the woman who came here to file a complaint?

-Really? -Yes.

That woman?

He's one lucky guy!

I think something's wrong.

-Uh-oh! Move! -He saw us!

Sir, what happened? Is it... a good news?

I mean... is it anything important?

Sir!

Don't take your frustration out on me!

If I wanted to, I'd know how to give your family something to talk about.

-Sir, I was just joking... -What joke, huh?!

-Xavier sir! -Sir...

-Why don't you do something? -Sorry sir!

-Hey! Leave him. -Sir...

I'm holding back because of my vows. Not that I'm dead.

Will you make me break the vows?

Will you, huh?

Go! All of you go out!

Get out!

Get out!

My phone.

Sir...

Are you out of your mind, you idiot!?

-Your name? -Freddy.

-Where are you from? -Thengana.

Okay, you can go.

-Found anything? -No.

If you're serious, tell her directly, sir.

Yeah, I should.

But it'd be awkward if she doesn't feel the same way.

It's Parvathy teacher, right?

I'm sure you can work things out.

-Really? -Yes.

If that's the case, don't wait.

Let's speak to her family.

In that case, let's take SI Xavier sir along to lead the proposal.

That's not a bad idea.

It would be great.

Patrol units, stay alert.

Notify all station mobiles and police stations.

-Do you copy? -Over.

-Go check that car. -Okay, sir.

Stop! Stop!

Blow into this.

-Your name? -Abhijith.

Where to?

You can go.

Come, come.

I said come here.

Come.

Can't you hear?

Hey! Slow down!

-Stop! Stop here! -Hey... Hey!

Aleena ma'am!

-Dasan sir, start the vehicle! -Dasan sir!

Sir, come quickly and get in the vehicle.

Come on, speed up!

I'm sure he has got something in the car!

Come on, overtake!

Hey, stop the car.

Turn! Block that car!

Stop here!

What's the matter, Sir?

Get out here! I'll make you understand!

Sir, I'm in a hurry, there's an emergency.

You! Why didn't you stop when we told you to?

Sir, he has to undergo a medical examination. Don't beat him.

Sir, I had a few drinks.

Just impose the fine.

I shall give you money if you want.

-Sir, I need to leave urgently. -We can't just let you go like that.

-I'm leaving. -You're not going anywhere.

You can't decide that on your own.

-I need to go! -Hey!

-Hey! -You bloody-

-Leave me! -Come here.

Sir!

Hey!

Walk, I say!

-Sir... -Come on, walk!

Sir, please listen.

-Sir! -Get inside!

Sir, start the vehicle.

-Sir- -You bring that car to the station.

I'll teach you a lesson.

Is Xavier sir in?

He stepped out for a bit.

-What have we got today? -Don't even ask.

This fool wants to drive drunk.

Oh, come on!

Isn't that a bit old-fashioned?

He should know too, right?

Then let him get some rest.

Walk on!

Ma'am.

Please, ma'am!

Please, ma'am. Let me go.

Ma'am!

Just be quiet.

Ma'am...

Please, ma'am.

Let me go.

Ma'am... Ma'am...

Ma'am, it's an emergency, that's why.

Did you write the application?

Yes, sir. I'm writing it now.

-Sir, can I have some water? -What?

Water?

Now you can drink water, huh?

Hello, Dhanya!

Hello, Dhanya!

How dare you roam around with that loser...

-Hello? Hello? Hello? -and bring dishonor to our family.

Why the hell are you ruining our family's reputation?

In the first place, I already hate you so much.

Please let me go with Sreenath.

With him, huh!?

You're not going anywhere.

Sir, why are you treating me like a criminal?

Because you are one.

I'm not going anywhere.

Sir, I just had a few drinks.

Please complete the procedures and let me go.

Please remove these handcuffs, sir.

Sir, looks like he has learned some politeness.

Let's uncuff him, shall we?

Yes.

Sir, there's nothing in the car.

I think he's an Army officer.

There was an Army badge in the car and the key too.

And he acts like this!

After the formalities, take him to the hospital for a check-up.

I'll inform the doctor.

Sir, I'm off.

-Hey! -Yeah?

Did you search the car thoroughly, including the trunk?

Oh! I forgot to check the trunk.

Go check!

Sir, what time do I write down on the form?

Record it as 20 minutes before we brought him in.

-Sir, he's... -Sir...

-Sir! Sir! -Hey!

Give me the key, sir. Please sir!

-Give me the key. Please! -Move away!

Give me the key!

-Sir! Stop him! -Stop!

Stop there!

Come here.

Hey...

Get the key out of his hand!

Get the key!

Get the key!

Hey Sreenath!

Sir!

Hey! Hey!

Let go!

Hey! Leave!

Let go... let go!

Leave!

Hey! No!

Give me the key! I said give me the key!

Give me the damn key!

Give it!

Give me the key!

Stop it!

PRIMA FACIE GUILTY

-Sir... -Oh, God!

He's dead.

-Aleena! -Yes.

This will cause trouble.

Sir...

I...

How can you be so damn careless with your gun, Divya?

You have made things worse.

Damn!

-Oh, my God! -Sir...

Sir...

Sir, none of us intended this to happen.

Wasn't this a mistake?

Go check what it is, Divya.

Go on!

Go!

What was it?

It was just a cat, sir.

Hello?

Hello?

You'll be here by tomorrow afternoon, right?

-Yes. -The day after is Christmas.

Okay, Dad. I'll be home.

Why do you sound so down?

Are you okay?

Yeah Dad!

I'm fine.

Hasn't she gone to sleep yet?

She's running around with Alan in her new dress.

We just came back from the Christmas carol.

When I went to church, everyone was asking about you.

Dad,

say your prayers and go to bed.

-I'll be home soon. -Okay.

Alright, dear.

Sweetie, go to sleep now.

Sir... I'm shaking all over.

Shouldn't we do something?

Divya,

Can you come for a bit?

Sreenath,

Listen to me.

Aleena is the one who killed him.

We shouldn't get caught up in this.

They're women.

They'll wriggle out of it somehow.

And that guy... I think there's more to him than we know.

But...

That's not fair.

Are you out of your mind?

You'll lose your job and end up in prison.

If he really is an Army officer, that's even worse.

I don't know what to make of any of this.

Pass me that cigarette.

Sir...

Sir, won't it all be caught on CCTV?

Oh my God!

Sir.

Sir, let's erase it,

before someone gets here.

Even if we delete it, it can still be recovered, Sreenath.

Then we're screwed. We're really screwed.

See, we've got proof that we brought him in.

There's no footage of him attacking us.

We can't even claim it was self-defense.

Sir, what are we going to do now?

Sir, Xavier sir will be here any minute.

What do we do?

Divya...

I've been thinking...

and there are only two ways out of this.

Either we take the blame for everything and go to jail...

or...

somehow...

somehow...

Divya... crying won't help now.

We have to stick together.

Divya!

Sir!

You're right.

Let's move the body before anyone gets here.

Sir...

That CCTV footage...

Sir, they mustn't find the body before the CCTV footage is overwritten.

How many days of backup does this keep?

Fourteen days.

Fourteen days?

Fourteen days.

Fourteen days.

Fourteen days.

It would take 14 days to be overwritten, right?

Yes.

Fourteen days... that's how long it would take to decide our fate.

Divya.

Divya, Divya.

Listen to me.

Listen to me.

Listen.

Divya, once that CCTV footage gets overwritten...

recovering those recordings will be extremely difficult.

No one will be able to retrieve them.

We need to stick together.

Who's on the next patrol?

Who's on the next patrol?

Aji.

He's gone out with Xavier sir.

Don't panic. We'll face this together.

We'll stand together.

-Let's go, sir. Let's move the body. -Okay.

Dasan sir...

Push a little.

Bring it forward a bit.

Let's go.

-Check his phone. -Okay.

Try his fingerprint.

Keep this.

Hey! Keep this.

Come with me.

Can you call Xavier sir and see how long it'll take him to get here?

Here.

Put it down.

Will this come off with soap?

Bleaching powder should work. I'll get it.

Sir...

Divya...

Sir?

Sir, what are we going to do with this car?

Go leave it parked somewhere outside.

-What? -Park it somewhere outside.

Hey! Xavier sir's coming! Reverse! Reverse!

Go backward.

Aren't you on night patrol today?

Yeah...

I was on my way out for patrol, sir.

That's when he said he had to use the restroom.

Hey, Christmas is when you can make a few extra bucks.

Stop loitering around here and get to the junction.

What do we do now?

His name is Jayaprakash, also known as JP.

He's the manager of New Fashion Silks in Thrissur.

And that girl?

Sir, I checked.

But, there's no photo of her or any chats with her on his phone.

Shucks!

So we have to make sure they appear to be alive for the next 14 days.

Otherwise, we're done for.

Then...

What will we do for that?

Sounds legitimate, right?

Yes.

And...

-Play it when I say. -Okay.

"Shilpa, I'll be back only after a meeting."

"I need to meet the Mangalore dealers."

"It'll take another week."

"I'll call you later, okay."

Everything okay?

Just a second...

Oh! So I have to carry this all the way to Kasaragode?

This message has to look like JP sent it to his wife.

So you need to take this phone to Kasaragode.

-Okay. -Sir, you don't have to do anything.

Once you get there, just turn off airplane mode. It'll send itself.

Okay.

DAY 02#

-Sir. -Yes.

Those people came to Vasudevan sir's house to sing Christmas songs that day.

-To sing? -I mean Christmas carol, sir.

Oh, I see.

Tell him.

The lights were off, sir.

We thought everyone was asleep.

So we beat the drums louder and went on for a while.

But nobody came out.

-Time? -Around...

It must've been around 11:30, sir.

Then?

Since no one came out,

we performed there for a while and then left.

Not even a single light was on?

Try to remember.

No, sir. There weren't any lights on.

Don't you keep the lights outside on at night?

Yes, we do sir.

But that day, they were off.

Maybe,

Vasudevan took his medicine and fell asleep.

He drove here himself.

Check that side.

Sir...

It's here too.

Here.

At dusk,

they go around looking for houses with no lights on.

Here...

If they spot one,

they'll tie a thread across the gate.

They'll come back again at night.

If the thread is broken, it means someone's been home.

If it isn't, they'll break in.

The theory's old. Only the method is new.

Come on, beat the drum!

Come on, beat it louder!

Everyone must be asleep!

Hey, let's go.

Looks like no one's home.

Okay, let's go. Come on, kids.

Come on, I say.

Hey... Hey!

Please don't hurt that little one.

Hey!

Please don't hurt the dog!

-Please don't. -Stab me, I dare you!

Drop the damn knife.

Drop the knife!

Okay fine. Give me the dog.

Hey!

Give me the dog.

Hey!

What have you done?

Don't worry, I'm here.

What we need to know now...

...is what they usually do between 6 and 11 pm.

With such heavy police patrols,

they won't be out on the roads.

You must search public places like parks, malls and theaters.

We need CCTV footage from December 10th, 17th, and 22nd.

Okay

Sir, we checked the mall and the park. No leads.

-Excuse me, where's the manager's office? -Upstairs.

Zoom in a little more.

Sir, here's all the footage from the dates you mentioned.

Thank you. Sir, we've received the footage.

All the shots from December 10 onward are in it.

Sir...

Have a look at this.

These two people...

Sir, these two are the same people from the CCTV visuals.

Yes, the same outfit.

Yes, sir.

-Sir! -Yes?

Have a look.

Sir, they're here too.

Is this movie worth watching three times, Sainu?

Nobody would watch it.

Share these photos with the SOG and NDPS groups.

Okay.

-We'll get some lead sooner or later. -Okay.

DAY 03#

-Do you know this guy? -Yes, sir.

-Who's he? -He's our manager.

Where's he now?

He went to Bangalore for stock purchase.

NEW FASHION SILKS WEDDING COLLECTION

"I am worn out from my groaning."

"All night long I flood my bed with weeping

and drench my couch with tears."

-Amen! -Amen!

DAY 04#

See, from the way Xavier sir spoke,

I think he's suspicious about something.

He went around the backyard to check.

Sir, a complaint...

Go give it inside.

Okay.

It's probably just a feeling.

How do you manage to stay calm?

I'm getting scared.

Don't worry. We'll figure it out.

Tiger Bravo Two Nine answering, sir.

Two cases were reported yesterday.

Both were drunk driving cases.

Law-and-order cases...

No case, sir.

No cases have been reported.

Over!

It's been a week since the NDPS special drive began.

Two-Nine Bravo, how many cases so far?

Sir, we haven't had any cases so far.

We're working on getting one or two today.

-Over. -Tiger Bravo!

Hey! Call everyone on duty.

Yes sir.

Three cases have been reported, sir.

Where is Dasan?

Sir, he's on leave.

PRATHAP MOHAN#

Is he reporting to you?

No, sir. I was told to tell you.

I forgot.

He said he couldn't reach you when he called.

The SP called.

We need to get an NDPS case.

Sir, it's not like we haven't been trying.

Trying isn't enough. We need results.

Sir, we got information that MDMA was being sold under the Chungam flyover.

We don't know if it's true. But...

Xavier, look into it.

If you find the guy, we need to file the FIR today itself.

Sir, my duty is almost over.

Go there, find the guy first. Then you can leave.

Now go.

Okay.

One damn thing after another.

I was supposed to be home asleep by now.

Now I've lost half the night.

Hello?

Hello, Where are you? Aren't you coming?

I'll be late.

If you don't come, I will come to the station.

Hello? Can't you hear me?

Hello, sir?

Hello?

I am going to file a complaint tomorrow.

Do whatever the hell you want. Just hang up and go.

Hello?

Sir, there's a guy lurking around there.

I think he might be our guy.

Come on! Start the vehicle!

-Hey! Come, come. -Sir.

Did you get the details of the accused, sir?

We're still gathering more information.

He's not a Malayali.

He speaks broken Hindi.

We'll have to verify his address and...

...investigate further to get a clearer picture.

Anyway, we've seized around 1.5 kilograms of MDMA...

intended for commercial distribution.

We were able to catch him thanks to their timely intervention.

Sir!

Please!

-I really appreciate you, Mr Xavier! -Thank you, sir!

Good job.

-Congratulations! -Thank you, sir!

Thank you.

-One more question. -Sir...

Sir, what are the preventive measures...

Move! Let him go.

...taken by the Police to tackle the rising drug abuse?

Move! Move!

Not laughing now, huh?

I'll deal with you two soon.

Still, Xavier sir should've mentioned the CI's name.

Sir is here...

Pack this up and move it to the evidence room.

Sir.

Take it to that room.

METHAPHETAMINE#

CI and I had seized this ivory.

We're still having a bit of a tussle with the Forest Department.

They need a court order to get these.

What about that mobile phone?

It's safe. Don't worry.

Divya said Xavier sir is suspicious.

Don't worry about him.

He'll get into trouble soon.

Yes!

He'll get it.

Sir, going all the way to Assam...

Don't you know the law yourself?

We haven't got his Aadhaar card yet.

The court will have to verify it, right?

We'll need to verify his address too.

Sir, can't we leave it to Dasan and Sreenath?

How can we do that, Xavier?

Who caught the accused? You.

Who got the bouquet and garland?

You. You know Hindi well anyway.

If you need any more details, just ask the accused.

So don't waste any more time.

Leave now.

Happy journey.

-Sir! -Now go.

Sir!

-Here is the file. -Keep it there.

Sir, his place is on the Mizoram–Assam border, right?

Why?

The CI asked me to tell you not to patrol there at night.

It's a high-risk area.

-Is that so? -Yeah.

Then tell him I've been doing this for ages.

Get lost!

Oh, this guy.

DAY 06#

Coffee.

Thank you.

-Have it. -Okay.

You have come to my house with a wedding proposal earlier.

Oh! I see.

I was a bit thinner back then.

Okay.

I've lost count of how many prospective brides I've met.

And my horoscope always has some problem or another.

When the horoscope works, the girl doesn't.

When the girl does, the horoscope doesn't.

And on and on it goes...

So, you're a teacher.

Yes.

-I do a bit of writing. -Oh!

'A straight revenge.'

A straight revenge.

That's quite a lot of revenge.

Read it and tell me what you think.

I'm a little busy for the next ten days.

Maybe after that.

Oh, after that?

Um... after that, I might get a long break.

Fine, read it then.

Okay sure.

BANGALORE#

DAY 07#

The number you are trying to call is currently not reachable.

Please try again later.

-Good Morning, sir! - Good morning!

Send it right away.

-Did you send the message, sir? -Yes.

-Sir, his mobile phone? -It's safe.

So we need to be careful for just one more week, right?

It'll be fine.

-I'll go eat something and be back. -Okay.

-Me too. -Okay.

Don't worry.

Everything will be fine.

WOMEN'S HELPDESK#

It's Haris Meeran.

Aleena, Sreenath.

-Yes. -Where's Dasan?

Sir, he went out for breakfast.

Come inside, all of you. Sir's asking for you.

See, Meera's email ID is fake.

Sir, here they are.

Sir!

Weren't you on patrol on the night of the 22nd?

Yes sir.

Sainu.

Do you remember seeing either of these two that night?

No sir.

No sir.

What about this car?

Sir, we saw this car.

But the driver wasn't the person you showed us earlier.

Would you recognize that person?

Of course, sir.

Okay, thank you. You can go.

Let me know, if you get any information about these persons.

Okay, sir.

Could this get us into trouble?

Don't worry.

Sir...

Sir, he's the one who was with them that night.

-Dasan? -Yes, sir.

Show him.

Do you know these people?

No sir.

This car?

No sir.

Wait!

Try to remember.

While you were on night patrol on the 22nd...

No, sir. I didn't see it.

But they said they saw it.

No, sir. I didn't see it.

Sir, didn't you have to use the bathroom that night?

You had a bit of a stomach problem, right?

That's when we saw it.

Yes, sir. My stomach was acting up, so I stepped away for a bit.

Maybe that's when...

Okay, Dasan.

NATTAKOM POLICE STATION HELP DESK#

Some people can't lie.

Others lie without leaving a single crack.

That's when I smile at them.

Why is everyone standing around looking shocked?

Everything's okay, right?

What is it, sir? What was the problem?

Did you figure out who they are from the photo?

No.

Jayaprakash and Meera. Both are criminals.

Remember Major Vasudevan robbery case in Kozhenchery, Pathanamthitta.

There were several other robbery cases before that too.

They got information that Jayaprakash is currently in Bangalore.

His wife received a message from his phone.

But Haris realized...

it wasn't Jayaprakash who was using that phone.

Someone else was.

Have you read the book he wrote?

It's a must read.

Sir, whenever Jayaprakash goes to make purchases,

he calls only once in two or three days.

This is the first time he is gone for this long.

He hasn't called me even once.

I just got a text from him.

Here, sir.

There's a voice message just before that.

This one?

Shilpa, I'll be home only after a meeting.

I need to meet some dealers in Mangalore.

It'll take another week. I'll call you, okay?

Shilpa, I'll be home only after a meeting.

I need to meet some dealers in Mangalore.

It'll take another week.

I'll call you, okay?

I need to take this phone with me.

Sir?

Dad.

Sir, what's wrong?

Is he in some kind of trouble?

-Sainu... -Sir...

Explain everything to them clearly.

Okay sir.

Shilpa, I'll be home only after the meeting.

I need to meet some dealers in Mangalore.

-Increase the volume. -It'll take another week.

-I'll call you, okay? -Repeat it.

Shilpa, I'll be home only after a meeting.

I need to meet some dealers in Mangalore.

It'll take another week. I'll call you, okay?

Lekha...

Mute the voice track and play back only the background layer.

-Okay. -He extracted an ordinary voice message

and heard the faint sound of a call to prayer

from a mosque, a miles away.

"As-salatu khayrun min an-nawm"

"As-salatu khayrun min an-nawm"

This voice is forged.

What, sir!?

Yes!

There are five calls to prayer a day.

They're all the same.

Except the one at dawn, which has two additional lines.

"As-salatu khayrun min an-nawm”

meaning “Prayer is better than sleep.”

Now,

look at the time this voice message was sent.

At 6:30?

At 6:30 in the evening.

100% sure! This message is forged.

How is it?

Sir, this number was last active in Bangalore.

-Okay. -At morning 10.

After five minutes, it got switched off again.

Before that?

Before that,

on the 24th,

it was in Kasaragode around 6:30 p.m.

After that, it was switched off again.

Then on the 23rd, it was in Nattakom...

around 12:40 a.m.

Nattakom.

-Track the number. -Okay.

Inform me as soon as it comes back on.

Sure, sir.

-Okay. -Okay.

KL 48 M 22 23

Update this car number on ANPR.

Okay, sir.

Let me know as soon as the number is detected.

Okay?

I once assisted Haris sir on a case.

He's a real sharp one.

The criminals think they are clever,

but Haris sir is always one step ahead.

Now the game will change.

Lord Ayyappa is my refuge!

DAY 08#

Ma'am?

Ma'am?

Earlier, there were not much problem.

It started after he began driving the lorry.

He drinks every day.

And when he comes home, he starts beating me.

-What for? -He doesn't need a reason, ma'am.

-Abi had the medicines. -Thank you.

Go on.

He'll find some reason or the other.

Once, he pushed me because the water I'd kept for him

wasn't hot enough.

I heated the water again and he threw it on my face

asking if I dared to give him boiling water.

I endured everything,

but now he is not sparing my children either...

What happened here?

It is from yesterday's assault.

When I told him I was going to file a complaint at the police station.

Divya, did he come?

Yes, he's here.

-Go. -Okay.

-Move aside. -What?

Are you drunk?

A little.

It would only be a problem if I'd been drinking and driving.

I walked here.

Do you beat them?

Hey, I'm asking you. Do you hit them?

Yes.

What for?

They're my wife and kids. I'm not hitting you, am I?

I will beat them or kill them as I please.

What's it to you? Huh!?

Do I've to deal with a woman police officer?

Are all the male officers here dead?

Hey!

Oh God! Oh God! My husband!

Oh no, hubby!

What happened?

She did this to my husband!

Oh no! Hubby...

Will you shut this station down?

-Check if he is alive. -My children are orphans now!

Thank God, he's not dead.

Someone call an ambulance!

Sir, my husband...

He's not dead, okay? Enough of your drama. Stop.

DAY 09

Are you planning to become a serial killer?

I could not control myself, sir.

Great!

If you keep losing control like this, you won't last long.

Aleena, ma'am.

The CI is calling you.

Go.

We'll see when we get there.

He has 11 stitches on his head.

You know what will happen if this news gets out.

What if he files a complaint?

We'll be screwed!

Sir, please!

You smashed someone's head in.

What the hell do you expect me to do?

Why are you telling me?

♪ Oh, Lord Ayyappa! Oh, Lord Ayyappa! ♪

Hello?

Get a written statement from him.

He should not come forward with a complaint later.

Okay.

He doesn't want to file a complaint. We're in the clear for now.

Now go.

DAY 10#

For days, people haven't slept in peace...

because of the police force's incompetence.

Despite all the hype around Haris Meeran and his team,

all they’ve done is run around. They haven't caught a single suspect.

Who will answer for the murder of a soldier honored by the nation?

-Sir, phone? -Okay.

Okay.

11211. Please track this.

Okay alright.

It's a snatching case, please update me sir.

Just a minute. I'll call you.

I know...

It's not Jayaprakash who is using this phone now.

Anyway, we'll meet soon.

-Hello? -Calling from Cyber Cell.

-Tell me. -The phone is currently active...

near Nagampadam Bridge on MC Road, Kottayam.

Okay! Okay!

-Turn around. -Okay sir!

Sainu!

Damn it!

This mental pressure is killing me.

I'm the reason you're all stuck, right?

-Oh, no! -That's not it!

-That's not what I meant! -Sorry Divya.

I didn't mean it that way.

It's not like we did it on purpose, Aleena.

Anyway, we could hang on this far.

Don't stress yourself.

Just focus on what we need to do next.

Yes. As far as we know, they deserved to die anyway.

We just got caught up in this.

-We'll see what happens next. -Yeah!

-Get in. -Come.

Get in.

Let's go.

Sir, we're thoroughly investigating,

but we haven't found anything yet.

I've confirmed it with the Cyber Cell.

A-type location is exactly here.

Here, take a look.

Move that piece.

Sir!

When I was SI at Ponnani Station,

there was a murder case.

No matter how hard we searched, we couldn't find the body.

The suspect had forged a certificate...

and taken the body to a crematorium, where he burned it.

The only clue we found was...

a tooth that hadn't burned with the body.

Sainu!

Got it, sir!

We will expedite the examination.

We had to wait for a few more days

to get the DNA test results of the tooth

so that we could identify the accused.

There is no perfect crime...

what we need is a perfect investigation.

-Sir! -Yes?

Doesn't it feel like this was done to deviate us, sir?

Yes.

Let him keep running.

Finally he will tire himself out.

If not, we'll tire him down.

FORENSIC SCIENCE LABORATORY KOTTAYAM#

Check this!

Father, this is...

We haven't confirmed it yet.

According to the cremation register,

it belonged to an elderly woman named Meenakshi Amma.

What's it?

The forensic report says the result matches with an old woman.

Her name is Meenakshi.

Oh!

So, they deliberately misled us.

Sainu, ask them to verify the phone's location.

-Why is it taking so long? -Sir, I am trying.

Have it.

Sir, on the night of 22nd, his location is shown as in the arc of Nattakom Town.

What do you mean by Nattakom Town's arc?

There are hundreds of houses and schools.

Where are we supposed to look?

Sir... I... It's...

-Mom! -What?

Shall we make Dad give up his police job and start a restaurant?

That'll work!

Sainu, I need Jayaprakash's exact travel route.

I mean, his exact location.

There's no point in saying this tower and that tower!

-Step on it. -Ok sir!

-Dad! -Yes?

What's the matter?

Whose location?

And who's Jayaprakash?

Jayaprakash has been accused of murder.

He's missing.

Okay.

Can't we track him through his phone?

Oh, please!

The phone was burned to ashes.

Oh, I see!

We haven't cracked the email ID yet.

That's the only way now.

Can we get his email ID now from his family members?

What if we get it?

Trust me, Dad.

Just let me try.

Please, Dad.

JEEVANS DIABETES & ENDOCRINE CENTER#

VIMALA HEALTHCARE#

Congratulations, Divya!

I know you're a police officer,

but you need to cut down on the stress now.

I'll prescribe a couple of medicines. Take them regularly.

Sir, have sweets!

-Congrats! -Sir...

These laddus won't be enough, okay?

Sir, please have it.

-I'm taking one more, okay? -Sure!

Sir, could you reduce her night shifts for now?

I will take it into consideration.

Have it, Ma’am

Everyone got a laddu?

-Yes. -Now, get back to work.

Aleena ma'am, please take care of her.

Sure.

It's time for my shift. I'll get going.

Aren't you okay?

-I'll call you. -Okay.

Divya.

I'm so scared.

Do you know how long I've been waiting?

Don't worry.

We should be scared,

but we can't let that fear put us in more danger.

Just three more days.

After that, the CCTV footage will be overwritten,

and there'll be nothing to worry about.

Okay?

All we have to do is make it till then.

DAY 11#

Sir, I've already updated that in the file.

Sir!

The address has been verified.

It's exactly as he stated.

No case has been filed against him at the local station.

He moved here two years ago.

Very good.

Tell them to add it to the case diary and update it.

Okay sir.

Xavier!

How did the journey go?

It wasn't exactly a vacation, sir.

It was pretty tough.

All these are new experiences, aren't they?

-Okay sir. -Okay.

Okay. Okay.

Sir, just a second.

Update these details in the case diary of the accused in that MDMA case.

I will call you. Sir! Sir, wait!

-What's it? -There's a problem.

Sir, Sainu sir from Crime Branch just called.

He said something.

-What is it? -Sir, the night before you left,

Something big happened here.

Dad,

At 12:05 a.m. on the 23rd,

he came from here and reached here by 12:15.

Then the phone got switched off at 12:40.

This is the exact location.

See!

Zoom in there.

To be exact, Nattakom Police Station.

Sir, Haris sir's investigation found that...

this JP guy was within our station's mobile tower range that night.

Weren't you the GD in charge that day?

Yes.

Sir! Sir! Sir!

We investigated about Meera,

In that case, we may have to make an arrest.

It's not that easy.

They're police officers. We can't touch anyone without evidence.

-Sir... -Yes.

SI Xavier from Nattakom Station is here.

-Let him in. -Sir!

Sir, I saw it clearly that night.

They had buried something near the station.

When I asked,

they said it was a black cat that often came around there.

But today, I saw that same cat alive.

Oh!

Sir,

What's the matter, sir?

What's this?

There was a case involving a fight, sir. That's all.

I checked the register for that day, sir.

But no such fight case was reported.

Okay.

Sir.

Didn't I tell you?

They'd tire themselves out.

The hiding part is over.

It's time to bring them in.

Sir...

How many days of backup does this have?

Sir, 14 days.

Fourteen days.

So,

there should be footage from the 23rd.

Sir,

Check it now.

Check the footage from the night of December 22nd.

Okay.

Where is it? I don't see it here.

-I'm sure it's in there. -Where's it?

This only has footage from 27th onward.

We asked for the 23rd.

It's not here, sir.

You take a look.

Go on, check it.

Sir, this only shows footage from the 27th onward.

What the bloody hell is this?

You said this had 14 days of backup.

That's what the technician said, sir.

Which technician?

Prathap sir?

Call him!

-Come on, call him! -Just a second.

Hello, Kiran?

Hello, sir. We've been a little busy.

We still have two more stations to cover.

-We will come there next week for sure. -Um... no, it's not that.

No more changes in plan, sir.

Kiran, how many days of CCTV backup do we have here?

It is an old CCTV set, sir.

Fourteen days of backup.

But, we can't find it here.

Can't find it?

We don't do any cheating stuff like that sir.

It's true that we are a little late to arrive, but we...

Kiran, DySP Haris Meeran here.

Sir, how many days of backup are showing now?

Here, 10 days.

Oh, sir. There's an additional memory card.

With that, we get 14 days of backup.

Otherwise, we'd only get 10 days.

Where's that memory card?

I gave the card to the CI sir.

He took it, saying he'd put it in.

You should ask CI sir. He'd know.

Where's the memory card?

-Sir... -Okay, thank you.

I'm asking you, where's the memory card?

One minute...

Sir, 3G--

The only thing stopping me from tearing into you

is the sacred chain around your neck.. Mind it.

Sir, is there a serious problem?

Get out! I say you get out!

Okay.

Idiot!

-I told you to leave, didn't I? -Okay.

Shucks!

Sir, I'll tell you what really happened.

Xavier sir has always had a grudge against us.

When he asked Sreenath and me to go to Assam that day,

we said we couldn't.

Not only that,

We've also had a few issues with him in the past.

I think Xavier sir is saying all this...

because he's still angry at me for not accompanying him to Assam.

We were on highway duty that day, sir.

Who was the station guard that day?

It was me, sir.

Didn't Dasan and Sreenath come to the station that night?

Did Xavier come after that?

No, sir. They never came to the station that day.

Oh..!

Xavier went out and returned soon after, didn't he?

He often makes excuses and goes outside.

That day Aji also came half an hour late.

Who taught you to say all these?

No one told me what to say, sir.

I'm only telling you what actually happened.

Stay here until tomorrow morning,

whether you're on night duty or not.

Okay.

Dear,

Any update about the house?

After you leave,

she keeps looking at the phone, asking for you...

It's sad to see her like that.

It'll be sorted out soon, Mom.

I'm looking into it.

Drink this.

Hold this.

Make sure you drink it all.

Mm.. Go on.

-Hey! Come! -Okay, sir.

POLICE#

POLICE#

Thankachan murder, that had shocked Thiruvananthapuram City...

The accused had buried his body 12 feet underground.

The dogs picked up the scent of the human body

from underground in less than a minute.

They can identify human remains and animal remains.

Because,

they're well trained cadaver dogs.

Jerry!

Jerry! Easy!

Jerry!

Easy!

Sir, it seems there's nothing is here.

Sir, there's a problem.

If we take this body out of the station, it'll be a problem.

What if the dogs sniff it out here?

What do we do?

We'll fix it.

Sreenath, come with me.

When he went near that lorry,

Oh God! I thought we were done for.

I was relieved when he walked back.

Divya, when's your next check-up?

What?

When's your next check-up?

Next week.

You've been under a lot of stress for days now.

You should be happy now.

Go home and get some good sleep.

We won't get caught, right?

It's all over.

There won't be any more problems.

Hey! Won't you get wet?

That's alright.

-Okay then. -Take care.

Hey don't run, I'm coming. Come.

You're completely soaked.

DHANYA#

Answer it.

That's alright, ma'am.

Back when I was a student, my family was going through a very difficult time, so...

I used to work as a painter.

I went to work at a wealthy house.. That's where I met Dhanya.

You know,

some people stay by your side no matter what.

She's that kind.

But she isn't meant for me.

By the time I finished my training and joined the force,

her family had fixed her marriage.

We managed to convince the groom,

and he withdrew from the marriage.

But ever since the incident,

her brother has been giving her hell over this.

They wouldn't accept me.

You seem at peace when you watch the rain.

No, Sreenath.

Not everyone sees rain the same way.

You said it is over. It really is, right?

It's not over.

Even if it's just for one day.

Let her sleep peacefully.

He's Haris Meeran.

I know him very well.

My husband Abraham,

was a huge fan of his.

That book he wrote gave me a lot of courage.

But now...

He won't rest...

until this comes to an end.

What is it?

You said you had no complaint.

I didn't come to file a complaint.

I came to get Salim's vehicle released.

Oh, Salim Hyder, the lorry owner!

You're his worker now?

Sir, you need not look into details.

This is a court order. Just proceed according to that.

As you please, my lord!

-Aleena? -Sir?

-Did you recognize her? -Yes.

Just deal with this matter.

Come on, you two know each other, right?

Sir, this wasn't the file

Will do right away.

ID please?

Copy of ID?

We need it for the records.

I'll bring the copy right away. Have the rest ready.

All good, sir?

Ma'am! What's the matter?

Is he here to file a complaint?

-Divya, come here. -What's it?

There's a problem.

The court has issued an order to release that lorry.

Oh my God!

If he takes that lorry away,

the matter will be out of our hands.

We have to do something.

If we can get one more night, we can move it somewhere.

Here, here's the copy!

Where's that file?

It must be in this shelf. Didn't I ask you to find it?

-I had kept it here. -Where's it?

-Is it ready? -Yes.

Sir, need your sign.

Hand over the pen.

Sir, key?

-It should be on the key holder. -Okay sir.

Which one is the key?

The key's not here.

Look properly. It should be in there.

Hey, I know! The key isn't here.

What can we do now?

Come back tomorrow. We'll have it ready.

No need.

I have a duplicate key.

I know how things work around here.

Just let Salim know, if you find the other one.

The lorry's parked there, isn't it?

Hey!

Tell him to take only that vehicle, not the sand.

Dump the sand under the tree. We can level up that side.

-Sir, should we really do that? -Yes!

The court order is only to release the lorry.

I'm not giving anyone a single grain of sand.

What's the matter, sir?

Dump the sand down and go.

Damn sand!

The hydraulics aren't working properly.

Sir, there's a hydraulic issue.

Heard.

You go for now.

Tell Salim, that I am coming over.

Construction of my house is going on. Okay?

-Okay sir. -You can go.

Sir, right there.

Hold this.

Divya.

Be alert, okay?

Get the gloves.

Here.

Hey! Hey! Here.

Sir!

Sainu!

There's something in the second lorry.

Yes!

Maybe his body!

Then what are we waiting for?

Why not arrest them now?

-Otherwise they might... -Not yet, Praveen.

We need to make the perpetrators recover the body themselves.

Only that will make the case stand in the court.

Sir, we need to get the lorry released, in order to take things forward.

They are hiding something.

So I need the release order to prove it.

Who's the owner of this lorry?

One Mr. Salim Hyder.

-Sainu! -Yes sir?

Once the RDO's inquest is done,

the body needs to be sent for postmortem immediately.

Okay.

What's this?

It was found on top of the vehicle, sir.

Open it.

Ivory.

Note this down.

Check the vehicle again.

-Sir? -Yes?

Looks like this is a case property that had been kept at the police station.

It was us who seized it.

I see.

Sir, don't mention the ivory in the inquest report.

Sir, what are you saying?

How can we leave it out?

Sir, it's part of their planning.

They'll say they came for this ivory.

Then the charge will change from IPC 302 to IPC 379.

From murder, it will turn into theft of case material.

Sir, don't record this.

The case won't hold.

How can that be right, sir?

If I don't put it in the report, I'll lose my job.

After all, they too are police officers.

-Greetings, sir! -Greetings!

The body is more than a week old.

There is also what appears to be a bullet wound to the chest.

The cause of death is a gunshot.

Any other findings?

There’s peppering around the wound, on the shirt.

I mean gunpowder tattooing.

There's also burning around it.

That means the shot was fired at very close range.

Entry wound is 1.5 centimeter by 1.5 centimeter

and the bullet penetrated the posterior wall

of the right ventricle of the heart.

-Oh, okay. -But that's not the problem.

There's something else.

What's it?

There's a bullet entry wound

but...

no exit wound.

What?

The bullet penetrated the body

but didn't exit.

The bullet isn't inside the body either.

Xavier, send me the pistol number and details right away.

Sir, there are two guns at the station.

One is with the CI,

and the other is with Divya, who is on guard duty.

Correct!

Then there should be one bullet missing from her gun.

Take the guards register.

Alex, get the register.

Sir.

Sainu!

Sir,

There should be eight rounds.

Sir...

There are eight bullets in it.

-Seal this gun! -Okay sir!

Sir!

Bring all four to the interrogation room.

-Keep the media out of it. -Okay.

Sir!

You managed to keep the count intact.

Great!

Where did you get the extra bullet?

From the firing camp?

Tell me.

Where did you see Jayaprakash on the night of 22nd?

Jayaprakash's cause of death

was a gunshot from this gun.

Tell me.

Which one of you did it?

If none of you speaks up,

Divya will have to take the blame,

because she's responsible for this gun.

I know how to make you talk...

But you'd use that as an excuse to get away.

Sir, do whatever you want.

We don't know anything.

We don't know, sir.

I see.

So none of you know anything.

Then, Divya, you tell me.

You're the only one who needs to answer now.

According to Xavier, he handed over everything to you...

before leaving the station that night.

When he returned, the other three were there with you.

No, sir. Xavier sir came when I was about to leave.

Is that right, Xavier?

It's true. But...

But when he came back, I was the only one there.

You!

Don't try to fool me with all that nonsense.

-Got it? -I'm telling the truth, sir.

Aji sir also came in a little late.

I have no idea what happened at the station after I left.

Why are you dragging us into this, sir?

You!

-Stop it! -Divya!

Stop it!

I say get out!

Sir, this woman...

Get out!

You sit down! Sit!

Aleena,

don't worry.

Tell me what happened.

Come on, have the courage.

It's true, sir.

We were the ones who killed him.

But, it was an accident while defending ourselves.

Sir.. can't you help us to get out of this?

Don't you know, Aleena?

Sometimes, a good police officer

has to put his humanity aside to uncover the truth.

Because he's part of a system.

You already know that and do I have to explain?

Fine, sir.

If that's how it's going to be,

I won't answer any more of your questions.

No matter what you put me through.

We won't say a word.

Give Xavier sir a call and see when he'll be here.

Where's that bullet?

I told you, sir.

I won't answer any of your questions.

We won't become victims of the system you talked about, sir.

We won't utter a word, even if you kill us.

You confessed,

and yet you're still this confident. Impressive.

Section 25 of the Evidence Act says

a confession made to the police isn't admissible.

Section 26 of the Evidence Act says

a confession made while in police custody isn't admissible either.

It won't stand in court.

Can I tell you something that isn't in that book?

Section 27 of the Evidence Act.

Regardless of what's stated in Sections 25 and 26,

the weapon recovered based on that information is admissible as evidence.

I've got more than enough to lock you up.

You only know what you've read in my book.

You don't have the experience I've gained.

You don't need to tell me where the bullet is.

I'll make you tell me where it is.

Sir, take a look at this.

FOUR POLICE OFFICERS ARRESTED

We have no clue from where the information got leaked.

Is Haris Meeraan protecting the accused?

The accused are being questioned.

The department has no obligation to protect anyone.

This case is being investigated

by one of the most efficient officers in the state.

No more questions, please.

Sreenath,

you're still young.

You have your whole life ahead of you.

Tell the truth you know.

Where's the bullet?

I honestly don't know, sir.

Stop wasting time.

Where's the bullet?

I really don't know, sir.

I know this is a cheap move.

You know what'll happen if this gets out to the media.

This will turn into a huge mess.

Your family's already struggling, aren't they?

Can they handle all this, Sreenath?

She's your old girlfriend, isn't she?

Tell me! Where's the bullet?

Where is it?

Tell me!!

If you tell me honestly what happened that day,

I can consider making you an approver.

Otherwise, Divya may have to raise your child in prison.

Think about that.

Where is it?

Come on, say!

Where is that bullet?

Sir, I don't want to be an approver or anything.

I've told you so many times, I don't know anything.

I didn't even know the bullet had been removed from the body until now.

I don't know where the bullet is, sir.

If you're trying to threaten me with this photo, it's not going to work.

I'm going to marry her anyway.

I'm done being scared.

Major Vasudevan murder case takes a new turn.

The bodies recovered from Nattakom Police Station

have been identified as those of the accused.

But in the latest update,

preliminary findings suggest that four police officers

from Nattakom Police Station were also involved in the murders.

The investigation is being led by DySP Haris Meeran.

The ASI and three constables

from Nattakom Police Station have been arrested.

ASI Dasan Puthenveed, CPO.....

Hey! Come here!

Huh!? What's it?

Any update?

Sir only Aleena knows about the bullet.

She is well planned.

It's easy to get the truth out of criminals.

But when they're criminals in uniform,

it's a little harder.

Come on!

I know what to do now..

You!

Using my own book against me, huh?

Sir.

I know how to make you spill the truth.

A method used to extract truth even from terrorists.

You don't have to tell me.

I'll make you tell me.

Narco-analysis, right sir?

That won't happen. You need my permission for that.

I don't give a damn about your permission!

Shift her.

I’ve dealt with worse. You are nothing!

-Sir, can you come over for a minute? -What's the matter?

Sir, will this be a problem?

What problem?

Um... Without permission... The government...

I just don't want any trouble with my job.

Doctor, you won't have any problem.

We won't record this as evidence.

I just need to know one thing,

where the bullet is.

That's all I need.

Please!

Aleena.

-Aleena. -Yes.

What is your full name?

Aleena Abraham.

Did you kill Jayaprakash?

Yes.

It was a gunshot, right?

Yes sir.

Then where's the bullet?

Bullet...

Where's the bullet?

Bullet...

At my house...

Bullet...

Yes, where's the bullet?

Bullet...

A book...

Which book?

At my house...

It happened unintentionally, sir.

He deserves to be killed anyway.

My daughter has no one other than me.

Won't she be all alone?

Won't she ask me?

Ask...

Aby...

-My daughter! -Relax, relax.

She would ask me.

TRUTH JUSTICE AND LAW HARIS MEERAN

Police have recovered a bullet from CPO Aleena's house.

Haris Meeran is known for presenting the accused before the court

only with clear evidence.

In the Nattakom custodial death case,

the Crime Branch has recovered the bullet...

that caused Jayaprakash's death from CPO Aleena's house.

Aleena's family alleges it was a carefully planned conspiracy.

She's a good soul.

There's no way she'd commit a crime like this.

The police are fabricating the whole story.

Don't cry. Your mom will come.

Mom will come, dear.

Mom will come.

See, just as you said,

he has cracked the case in no time.

Officers like Haris Meeraan are a source of pride for our police force.

Even with the case solved, one question remains.

Who actually committed the crime?

Surely, all four of them couldn't have committed it together.

The person responsible for the weapon on the day of the incident

would be considered the prime accused.

Typically, the weapon is entrusted to the officer on guard duty.

To my knowledge, CPO Divya was on guard duty that day.

Sir,

Just because she was carrying the gun doesn't mean she fired the shot.

That's a silly allegation.

It could be viewed as an attempt to shift the blame onto Divya.

Let's ask a lawyer about this.

Advocate Rajeev, what do you have to say about this?

It's not just about who did it.

Those who helped them do it have also committed the crime.

That's the real issue.

We need evidence.

Finding a bullet doesn't make it evidence.

It has to be proven at the court.

The ballistic test of the recovered bullet

will take place in the coming days.

This sick boy and two of us have only her to depend on.

Your mom will come.

Don't worry, your mom will come.

Your mom will come.

Can't you let this one go, Dad?

Huh!?

Dad, Jayaprakash was the one who killed a soldier, after all.

I think they got caught up in this mess accidentally.

I can't bear to see that child crying.

-Dad? -What?

-Dad? -Yes?

Is there really no other way?

Just think about it.

There is a way.

Here.

Just one line on this barrel is enough to change their fate.

But why should I give in?

Haris Meeraan has never lost a case in his service,

and I don't intend to lose one now.

Mom, come!

Sir,

One,

Pistol No. 16347271,

the weapon used for the murder.

Second,

the bullet recovered from the body.

These are the most crucial pieces of evidence linking them to the murder.

Calling them the most important isn't enough, Mr. Haris.

Everything else is circumstantial evidence.

-It won't stand in court. -Sir...

there are two standard ways to establish this scientifically.

First, we test the recovered bullet for the presence of human blood.

A benzidine test would be sufficient to confirm that.

Yes, proceed.

In the Nattakom custodial death case,

the Judicial Commission, headed by Justice Devanarayanan,

is directly examining the ballistic evidence.

The investigation into the murder of Major Vasudevan...

has now reached a crucial turning point.

Sir,

the result is positive.

The benzidine test results have come back in favor of Haris Meeraan.

Now, the ballistic examination will determine who the accused is.

But what exactly is ballistic examination?

When the trigger is pulled,

the spring inside the gun strikes the percussion cap with force.

The chemicals inside the cap ignite,

creating an enormous pressure that propels...

the bullet through the barrel at a high speed.

The barrel has a special feature called rifling effect.

The grooves inside a rifled gun barrel have certain distinctive characteristics.

This means every bullet fired from a particular gun...

carries the same grooves, or rifling marks.

In other words, each bullet has its own fingerprint.

And these markings are unique to each gun.

Second is the most important.

We have to prove that the recovered bullet

was fired from this very gun.

For that, we need to fire six rounds

using the pistol recovered from the accused.

CRIME BULLET TEST BULLET#

-It doesn't match, sir. -What?

Never!

Check again with another bullet.

No, sir.

All six test bullets match.

But the crime bullet we recovered...

doesn't match them.

What if the rifling marks on the bullet were altered?

No sir, no way!

Then how did blood get on the bullet?

Sir, even a trace of rust on the bullet...

can make the benzidine test positive.

We can submit it for a detailed examination, sir.

Sorry sir.

The Nattakom custodial death case has reached a crucial turning point.

It has been proven that bullet recovered from the house of the main accused,

was not fired from the gun allegedly used in the murder.

DISTRICT COURT COMPLEX KOTTAYAM#

-You go ahead. I'll come. -Okay, ma'am.

Escaped, right?

I've started writing a new book.

The conclusion of this case will be in that.

The crime will come to light someday.

I'll be waiting for that day.

You're Aby's wife, right?

Do you recognize me?

I'm Sanal. We were together at the camp.

Don't worry, okay? Just let me know if you need anything.

Crime bullet.

I have it.

Be careful when you dispose of it, okay?

Okay.

TRUTH JUSTICE AND LAW HARIS MEERAN

Even after repeated questioning,

the accused hadn't revealed where the crime took place.

After some difficulty,

we obtained permission from the court to conduct a narco-analysis test.

We found him in a jail in Tamil Nadu.

He had used some narcotic drugs.

So we had to wait for one more day

to conduct the narco-analysis.

WHAT DRUG IS USED IN NARCO ANALYSIS?#

Sodium pentothal.

Sodium pentothal... used in...

If an intoxicated person can't undergo a narco-analysis test,

that means they've taken something...

which resists the effects of the drug used in the test?

Some kind of stimulant... an amphetamine...

Amphetamine...

Meth... methamphetamine.

MDMA.

Narco-analysis, right sir?

That won't happen. You need my permission for that.

I don't give a damn about your permission!

Shift her.

-Get up! -Ma'am!

I need to go to the washroom. Please...

Go.

Aleena.

Where's the bullet?

Bullet... the book!

One rainy day,

my parents left me all alone.

Then I lost my husband Abraham.

I've known what it's like to be alone, sir.

I will never let my child go through that.

I will never leave her alone, and go anywhere, sir.

Sir,

I don't want a clerical post.

I want to wear the uniform,

just like my Aby.

I'll join the police force.
