I will buy it for you once the rain stops, okay?

Okay.

Reuben, it's already late.

Just listen to me, Malu.

Let him come. We won't be late.

There's still time for the function to start.

Sweetie, sit right here.

Dad will be right back.

Mom... I dropped the keys.

You little... I swear I'll...

Damn! What do we do now?

Sorry, Mom... it was an accident.

Why are you so angry, dear?

Are you hungry?

Want me to get you some tea?

Just talk to me!

What happened?

The keys fell into the drain.

Oh! Let me have a look.

Can you pass me that phone?

It's the house keys!

It hasn't fallen all the way.

Look, it's stuck right here.

I'll go see if I can find a stick. You guys wait here.

Did it fall in?

Look, it's stuck on that stick.

Look...

Almost got it.

Please wait.

What's that crowd over there?

Who knows, I have no idea.

Shall I go check it out?

Do whatever you want.

Is it the house keys?

Then let me go take a look, right?

Look at this rain!

Let me see!

Don't cry now.

Uncle will get it for you.

Dad!

Come fast!

Come on! Hurry up!

That vehicle didn't even stop!

Get a vehicle, man! Get a vehicle!

All stations, units, CRVs, Kilos, copy. Control answering.

Priority alert broadcast.

At Kalarkode, under Alappuzha-Punnapra station limits,

a pedestrian was run over tonight around 8:30 PM,

and a lorry fled the scene without stopping.

Suspect vehicle is reported to be a golden-brown Eicher truck.

Someone call an ambulance, fast!

Hello! Please move aside!

Hi!

I am Susan Anna Roy.

Everyone calls me Susanna.

From now on, I'll be your nurse from 8 AM to 6 PM.

I'll get going now, see you tomorrow.

I'll miss my boat. Tata.

Good morning.

What's up?

Dear...

I am getting ready to go to Velankanni.

Don't lose hope, Aunty.

Oh, by the way...

From tomorrow, I'll be in the OP sectopm for a few days.

Someone else will be on duty here.

Reuben...

Now my only prayer is

for God to end his suffering as soon as possible.

My child has been suffering like this since so long.

Don't say such things, Aunty.

Everything will be alright.

Don't worry, okay?

You will get better soon.

Shall we pray for a while?

[Saying prayers]

2 YEARS LATER

ERNAKULAM SILENCE LEVEL (65-70db)

Hello! Help!

Reena...

Reena...

Reena... dear...

Get a car!

My daughter was two-and-a-half months pregnant.

Three years.

A child conceived after 3 years of prayers and offerings.

- Sir. - Sir.

We kept it a secret till now, fearing the evil eye.

And look what happened now!

- Sorry sir. - What sorry?

What exactly is she saying sorry for?

Nine hours.

My child was stuck in that drain for nine hours, do you know that?

Sir, we are tracking the CCTV visuals.

This squad was formed at 8:30 last night.

You guys couldn't find my daughter.

In the end, she came back on her own.

How much time do you need to find the ones who did this?

A year?

It's making news everywhere.

The news is that even the Home Minister's daughter isn't safe.

Elections are right around the corner.

Sir.

Six years ago, there was a similar case like this.

A child's kidnapping. Someone wearing a mask, just like this.

I was also part of the team investigating that case back then.

And what happened to that case?

We couldn't catch him, sir.

And still, she was added in this team?

Sir, my inclusion in this team was accidental.

But it is only because of that

that we identified it's the same criminal behind this.

Do whatever you want.

I want him caught, understood?

Sir.

Hey Suraj.

You will be a part of this team starting today.

He's a distant relative of mine.

A constable in DANSAF.

Smart guy.

You should be with them.

Sir.

The news channel folks are creating a ruckus outside.

We must do something immediately to shut them up.

Sir.

Let the miscarriage be a secret.

And Suraj...

Keep me updated about everything.

Okay, sir.

The police informed us that.

Reena was kidnapped by someone wearing a black mask and clothes.

But we're now also hearing reports that Reena was three months pregnant.

Reena, who is the Home Minister's daughter

and the wife of District Collector Siddharth,

is also the Managing Director of a multinational company called Logarithm.

Whatever the reason behind this, be it political or personal,

this is considered a major lapse on the part of the police.

Just hold it right there.

Watch out. Carefully.

Don't bump into that.

Open the door... please move aside...

Sister, do you have the summary?

I've kept it inside.

You've kept all the files, right?

Where are they taking him?

They've shifted him to the ventilator.

Why? He was fine, right?

I'm only telling you this.

Don't go around telling anyone else.

They are going to perform euthanasia on him.

Mercy killing.

But Sister, isn't that illegal?

Yes, that's exactly why I told you not to tell anyone!

It's been 2 years, hasn't it?

Isn't it better than him suffering in coma?

Do one thing.

Go and see him one last time if you want.

Man...

I thought you'd wake up suddenly,

like Sukanya did in the movie 'Chandralekha'.

I really loved having duty here.

In two years, I gained 4 kilos.

Never mind.

Along with praying for the believers who've passed,

I will pray for you too from now on, okay?

Make it fast!

But, sir...

We were going to kill him anyway...

So...

So... it's okay, right?

Let's fast-track the proceedings to shift him to the mortuary.

Sister, if it's A+, I can donate. My blood is A+.

Reuben...

Please go and get this quickly.

Send a wheelchair to the maternity ward.

Send it quickly, the patient is waiting.

I begged them.

What more could I do?

He got electrocuted by touching the wire.

How does that come under murder?

Luckily, they said they won't make it a murder case.

Um... no.

Yes, yes.

I was wondering.

They decided to kill him.

And now it's as if I killed him.

Everyone, even his mother, gave up on him.

I was the only one who didn't.

Can you hear me?

Hello...

The network is dropping.

I took very good care of him for two years.

And then he screwed me over right when he left!

I guess I'm going through a rough patch right now.

What if I don't tell Ancy?

Can't I just leave home every day morning and come back in the evening?

Won't work, will it?

Reuben's mom, we have some procedures to do here at the hospital.

After that, we can release the body.

We will arrange the ambulance from the hospital itself.

Reuben!

Oh my god!

It's a...

So, what exactly happened that day?

I'd gone to a birthday party.

I left around

9.30 or 10 that night.

That's when I found him in the car.

I didn't even have time to realise what was happening...

When I regained consciousness,

I was lying in a drain.

- He took my bag and my purse... - Hey!

and left me with nothing but a torch.

Reena, do you suspect anyone?

Take rest.

Kevin, what do you think?

He could've done anything.

He could've sexually abused her, physically assaulted her,

or even demanded a ransom.

Instead, he shoved Reena into a drain,

gave her a torch and just walked away.

Why would he do that?

Check if there have been any similar cases involving women.

- Yes, sir. - It's possible it was a robbery...

Because he took her bag and phone.

See if the phone gets switched on.

Alright.

How long have you been working here, Suraj?

About two and a half years, sir.

Did that girl have any friends or ex-boyfriends

she had problems with?

After all, she's pregnant.

What if someone was jealous because of that?

No, nothing like that. She's an innocent girl.

Even I found out she was pregnant

only after I saw the blood.

What do you mean, "even I"?

Do you know everything that goes on here?

I mean, sir... I'm always around,

so I'd know if anyone went to the hospital.

I think he's here.

Enough with the music. Take those off.

What's that thing on his ears?

The hospital gave it to him.

Don't try to remove it.

Let him keep it on.

Why's he just standing there?

Didn't you tell him

we sold our house and moved here?

I'll tell him...

Just give it some time.

- There's a right time for everything. - Right time for what? Just say...

Reuben...

Why are you standing there?

Come inside.

They've fitted some kind of machine in his ear.

Think of it as your own house. Come in.

Why's he standing there all dazed?

Let's tell him gently.

Reuben...

Saramma, I married my daughter into that family

because I thought it was just the two brothers

and no other responsibilities.

They sold all her gold for that boy's treatment.

Then they sold the house.

Then the mother and son moved in here.

And now they've brought the younger one too.

Where does that leave me in my own home?

Roshan

he's finished all the chicken.

There's only gravy left.

That's okay. Let him eat.

- Do we have any prawn pickle? - Yeah.

Don't tell him about it.

Aunty...

I know you're angry with me.

Even so...

How's Reuben doing?

Can I please come see him?

I'd really like to meet him.

You're inviting God's wrath.

You got her fired by accusing her of trying to kill him.

Who actually tried to kill him?

The truth is, he's alive because of her.

You should be thanking her.

As if I'd thank her.

Oh, just stop it.

That's all we need now.

'CONDOLENCES -REUBEN KURIAN, 24 YEARS OLD'

That is...

Where did you find this?

This was just...

They just

got it printed...

- Forget it. - Mom...

Can I ask you something?

What is it?

Have you ever wished I'd just die?

No...

Why would you ask me that?

Reuben, my dear...

Do you know how hard I prayed

for you to come back to us?

Do you know how many offerings I made?

Mom...

People's heart rate goes up when they lie.

Did you feel bad?

You're not getting my jokes like you used to.

I need to switch back on.

I've been as good as dead for two years.

I'm going to Ernakulam.

Wait until you've recovered.

I've spent the last two years just lying around.

Now it's time to find a job.

Come on.

I'm hungry, Mom.

Let's inconvenience them for one more day.

Reuben, when you recover and wake up

will you even look at me?

Sir...

This is the DCRB report.

According to this, it wasn't a robbery.

In one case, someone set fire to a judge's lovebirds.

In another, someone broke into a Tahsildar's house

and tore up every photo of his daughter.

- Really? - Yes.

It's a weird case, sir.

A masked man breaks into a Tahsildar's house,

but steals nothing.

Instead, he tears up only the younger daughter's photos

from every frame and album in the house.

After that, the Tahsildar became paranoid

and eventually took his own life.

- Any updates? - Madam, there are many visuals.

It'll take time to go through them all.

Here comes the minister's little spy.

Antony.

I'm not anyone's spy, sir.

I was the one who took that girl to the hospital

when she came in bleeding.

That's why Sir put me on this team.

As soon as you get a photo of the masked man,

- circulate it to all the stations. - Yes, madam.

Get the details from the SCRB.

Alright.

That kidnapping happened six years ago

and not in this district.

Let's do one thing.

Let's visit the judge's house first.

Okay.

Keep Suraj also in the loop.

Come on.

Our landmark is the Pilgrim Jesus shrine.

They say whatever you pray for there comes true.

I prayed for you to get well.

What?

Go buy some cigarettes.

Sir, shouldn't I come with you?

This is work for our department.

There's nothing for you to do.

Buy the cigarettes and wait in the jeep.

Got it?

You have a brother, don't you?

I have a sister. Her name's Ancy.

If you ask anyone at the junction, they'll point you to our shop.

How is Susanna?

She's doing well.

You know Lakshmi Hospital?

Heard there's a vacancy there.

I'll tell her about it, Uncle.

- Alright, then. - Just a minute.

One Carmicide.

Okay.

I called to ask...

Oh, sorry.

Can you send the car?

What?

- Eh? - What?

What?

Why were you staring over here?

I wasn't.

I saw you.

Have you no shame?

- Hello, I wasn't staring at anything. - Was I imagining it then?

What's the problem, Ancy?

Nothing, Uncle. You can go.

Just give me the Carmicide and I'll leave.

There's a workshop across from our shop.

The guy there asked Ancy to marry him.

She turned him down too.

I was looking at the medicine that fell. Nothing else.

I'm not that kind of person.

You insulted me.

That'll be 120 rupees.

I haven't received it yet.

I paid. The money's gone from my account.

It still says "Processing."

Not "Paid." Pay in cash.

Look.

The money's been deducted.

Just pay by cash.

What if I pay cash,

and "Processing" turns to "Paid" later?

Will you refund me?

Come back and I'll return it.

Get lost.

Stop right there!

Hi...

I'll pay for it. Let him go.

Who the hell are you?

He just came to buy medicine.

- Don't fight. I'll pay, sir. - Fight?

No, don't...

I don't want your medicine.

Give that back.

No medicine for you.

Trying to scam people...

What a fraud!

- Come on. - But...

Come with me.

Oh, you're with the police.

Why didn't you just tell her that?

I'm not the kind of cop who goes around announcing it.

I'm with DANSAF.

Dancer?

Not dancer.

DANSAF.

We always work in plain clothes.

Oh, I see.

No wonder I couldn't tell you were a cop.

That's fine. Just don't tell anyone.

I won't.

- Come on, let's have some tea. - No... I'm fine.

- Okay... - Come.

- But... - Come.

Attention all stations and mobiles. Control answering.

The ten-year-old girl kidnapped from Katoor PC...

- Kidnapping? - Huh?

The walkie

check railway stations, bus stands and lodges...

It's not just kidnapping...

There's even a video on the dark web.

See.

It's been all over the news since yesterday.

- Oh, dear. - She's only a little older

than my daughter.

How old is your daughter?

She's eight.

She's a smart kid but hearing things like this scares me.

True.

What's wrong?

Hmm?

Something worrying you?

No. I'm with a special investigation team now.

Oh.

Our officer got this photo from the Cyber Cell.

It's the man we're looking for.

Photo?

You can't even see his face.

How will you catch him?

We didn't even have this much before.

He'd kidnapped a child before.

Oh...

And recently, he dumped the Home Minister's daughter in a drain.

I'll catch him.

You didn't know any of this?

- No. I was out of action for a while... - Ancy.

- Darn! - Can I borrow your scooter?

My scooter?

- No way. Get lost. - Why are you like this?

Listen...

I came to see a friend.

I'll get going.

I'm leaving my bag here. I'll be right back.

You only need a licence on the main road.

Not on these roads.

Please.

No. Just leave.

Come on... Please.

I'll come back soon.

Where are you going?

To Bindu's...

She stitched two skirts for me.

I need to pick them up.

Fine. Ten minutes.

Fine.

- Wear your helmet. - Please come with me.

Why?

I heard something in that car.

- I think it's a child. - Heard something?

You're probably imagining it after hearing about that case.

You think someone would be standing here

with a kidnapped child in the boot?

Trust me, I heard it.

It came from the boot.

He's changed the tyre. He's about to leave.

If you're in doubt, go check the boot.

I'm right here.

Go.

Go on.

Alright.

Finish your tea first.

Attention please. Control answering.

Regarding yesterday's kidnapping of the

ten-year-old girl from Katoor PC limits,

she was reportedly abducted in a silver Esteem.

The number isn't clear.

All stations, mobile units, Kilos, CRVS,

step up vehicle checks.

Tiger orders the IRP plan to be implemented

and vehicle checks be intensified.

If you receive any information

- about the silver Esteem... - Hello?

Suraj?

Where'd you disappear to after buying the cigarettes?

Are we supposed to wait around for you?

Bring the jeep.

What a moron!

Hello?

Stop fooling around and bring the jeep.

Ride safe.

Madam's waiting.

- I'll stop by Ammu's place too. - Hello?

Are you even listening?

Is he deaf or something?

Get in!

The child is in that car.

Come on.

Faster.

Or we'll get blocked.

Let's go! Hurry.

We've lost them.

- Please... the horn... - Huh?

Nothing...

- Take the right. - Which?

- Right... - No, he went left.

- But... - I saw the car.

No, it went right.

I heard it.

I saw it!

The car's heading right.

Be quiet.

There's a protest up ahead.

There's nothing up ahead.

- Let's turn back. - Protest?

We protest! We protest!

We protest! We protest!

KDF protests!

KDF protests!

We protest! We protest!

We protest! We protest!

KDF protests!

KDF protests!

We won't back down!

Turn around, please.

I saw the car.

But I heard it go that way.

Just be quiet. I saw it.

Please...

It's a dead end straight ahead.

A dead end?

Let's head back.

How did you know?

I...

It's...

The car's still moving.

It's reached a church.

Listen...

The car's stopped.

Let's check here.

You go that way.

Okay.

If I keep relying on this, I'll need it for the rest of my life.

Focus... Focus! Focus! Focus!

Take it off. Control it!

Focus! Focus! Focus!

Focus!

So many sounds.

I don't need all these sounds.

Just one.

The kid.

Listen for the kid.

The anklets... The anklets... The anklets...

The kid's whimpering.

The noise is drowning out the anklets.

The car! The car!

Listen for the car's flap.

But the car's stopped. The flap won't rattle anymore.

Her breathing... Whimpering...

But I don't know what she sounds like.

Focus! Focus! Focus!

So many people!

Fisherwoman...

His bloody speaker.

Ouch! My ears!

The car's flap...

No... It's okay! It's okay!

That's not a flap... It's a ladle.

The kid's whimpering.

Don't listen to everything. Calm down. Listen.

The kid...

Calm down. Only then will you hear it.

Cool down...

Cool down...

Cool down...

Now listen...

No... It's the other phone.

It can't be tracked.

I've left the kid

at the usual spot.

Also

the police are around.

Be careful.

Alright, man.

Okay.

Will do.

Huh? What is it?

Where's the child?

Take your hands off me!

Hey!

Hey!

What happened?

Oh, no... Dear...

Dear...

Dear!

Dear...

Here...

She's not responding.

Dear...

Dear...

- Dear... - Wake up, dear...

She's okay.

Yes, our team found her.

What do you have to say about this, sir?

Those crooks...

They took all our credit!

- Did you feel bad? - Why?

I don't do this for credit.

But how did you know?

We've been spending a lot of time together,

so I'll tell you, though it's hard to believe.

I met with an accident two years ago.

I was in a coma for a long time.

I woke up just two weeks ago.

Ever since I woke up, it's been like this.

I can hear everything.

Everything!

Did your accident happen at Kalarkode in Alappuzha?

Yes.

Don't you recognise me?

Ever since we met,

I've had a feeling I'd seen you before.

You fell right in front of me. I was terrified.

I took you to the hospital.

I even donated two units of blood.

Sorry I didn't recognise you.

That's fine, you were in a coma.

You know...

Thank you so much. It's because of you that I...

It's nothing...

It's okay... Come.

Brother... Can you please stop?

Brother, shall we start?

- Yes, let's start. - Susanna!

- Okay, right? - Yes, okay.

Shucks!

Start rolling.

Sleeping like a log, leaving it wide open!

Yes, rolling.

Hello, guys! We're at Vijayan's Chayapalam Café.

The speciality of this place is,

they catch fresh fish from this lake,

fry them, and serve them hot.

So, shall we catch some fish?

Sure. Come on.

We've got our boys here.

Hey, lad. Catch a fish quickly.

They're filming.

Boss, we won't get anything today. There aren't any fish here.

Try that side. They are filming.

- Were you bragging? - No, I wasn't.

Veeru, try the other side.

It's been a while, brother. Will we catch anything?

- Usually... - Hey, kid.

- Can you try over there? - Where?

We tried there for ages. Didn't catch anything.

Put it where he tells you.

Yay!

- Wow! Got one! - Got that on camera, right?

We caught a fish!

- I told you. - Hey, kid.

Can you try next to that?

There?

Yes.

Wow! Got more!

How did you do that, brother?

- What a catch! - Brilliant!

This is good. Who is he?

He is my boy.

You're amazing.

We've successfully caught the fish.

Veeru.

Yes, Boss.

Son, you can stay here.

You can stay here for now.

This will do for sleeping.

Okay, good.

Pinch the skin gently.

Insert the needle at about a 45-to-90-degree angle.

45 to 90 degree angle...

and inject the insulin slowly.

Leave the needle in place for about five to ten seconds.

Five to ten seconds before removing it

to ensure all the insulin goes in.

It's important to rotate the injection sites each time.

This prevents

lumps from forming under the skin and helps...

Here, take it.

Hi.

Brother.

Sister...

Oh no...

Why are you here?

Well...

I came to see you.

To see me? Here?

I came to thank you.

Then I heard there was a vacancy for a fisherman at the nearby café.

My house was sold to pay the hospital bills.

My mother's staying with relatives.

I couldn't stay there for long.

I mean, how did you turn up here at this exact moment?

Well...

You won't believe me.

Tell me.

Ever since I woke up from the coma, something's wrong with my ears.

I can hear things from far away and nearby, things no one else can hear.

You don't believe me, do you?

For example, did you hear that Mask-man pick up a cat from the compound?

What?

I think he left with that cat.

Kunjumani?

He doesn't even have a face.

How can you even catch him?

I will catch him for sure.

Sister, let's inform the police.

The Mask-man is dangerous.

The police are looking for him.

I know someone on the investigation team.

Oh no!

The cat goes missing sometimes.

So...

Ma'am...

Don't tell my sister the cat is dead.

Tell her it's gone missing.

How tall is the Mask-man?

About six feet.

I'll show you a video. See if you can identify him.

Yes, that's him.

Did he try to tell you anything?

How did you end up at our office, Reuben?

Why didn't you go to the nearest police station?

Madam,

Suraj told me

that your squad is investigating the Mask-man.

I shouldn't have said that, should I?

How do you two know each other?

Madam, I met with an accident two years ago.

He saved me back then.

So?

Did you share case details with him?

- Are you stupid? - Madam...

A child was kidnapped yesterday, right?

I was the one who showed the kidnapper to Suraj.

That's when, in your WhatsApp group,

the Mask-man's photo came up.

So I saw it myself.

He didn't do anything.

What did the Mask-man do?

He came in through the back door and tied me up.

Then he tried to rip my clothes off.

That's when Reuben came and saved me.

Then he took the cat away and killed it.

How did Reuben get here?

He came in through the back door.

Yeah, the back door...

Why did you come in through the back door?

Madam, I heard

someone forcing the lock

and Sister's faint whimper.

You heard it? From where?

There's a house where the café workers stay.

I was there.

Wasn't anyone else there?

Yes, there was.

But none of them could hear it.

Then how did you hear what none of them could?

Madam, see that lake out front?

The house is on the other side of the lake.

That's where I heard it from.

Are you having me on?

Madam, I told you.

After the accident,

I was in a coma for a while.

After I woke up,

I've been like this. I can hear everything.

How do you know him?

- I... - Madam,

she was the nurse who looked after me at the hospital.

How long have you been working at the café?

Since last night.

Great.

You joined the café last night.

That guy broke into her house today.

And you show up and save her.

- Madam, I just... - You!

Madam, let's take him to the station. He'll talk properly then.

Madam, let me explain.

What do you want to say?

Do you hear that?

Hear what?

There's a tap running over there.

Can you hear it?

Go check.

- Madam, he... - Antony.

- Move! - Okay, sir.

You've seen this before, haven't you? Don't start...

Sir.

Sir, in your pocket,

there are three coins,

a plastic cover, and a matchbox.

See? I'm right!

There's one more coin.

Madam, if you still don't believe me,

someone's standing over there, listening to everything.

- Hey, you! - I didn't hear anything, sir.

Look. Ancy is coming.

I heard it. Ancy is dead.

No, she's not. Ancy isn't dead.

Look.

What is it? What happened?

Ancy...

This is Chitra Madam, the Superintendent of Police.

And that's Antony sir and Kevin sir.

And you two met yesterday.

Suraj sir.

- I'm Reuben... - Oh no! Sir...

I didn't know. I'll give you the medicine now.

Why did you bring everyone here for that?

Ancy, it's not that.

They're here to investigate your missing cat.

Cat...

- My cat? - Everyone, leave! Go home.

Ancy, don't worry.

Come inside.

Need a hand?

Sorry, sir. Yesterday, I...

- I didn't know. - It's alright. I'll help.

Have you

hurt anyone recently?

Or insulted anyone?

I don't hurt or insult anyone.

But you were rude to me yesterday.

Now you're being nice because I came with my team.

Come on, think carefully.

Did you behave badly with anyone?

Don't you want to find out who killed the cat?

Killed the cat?

They said the cat was missing.

Oh no. Didn't anyone tell you?

The cat's dead. It was killed.

He barged in here, attacked your sister,

killed the cat, and hung it up.

Look.

That thing then comes and hits straight on the face, falls...

Don't panic.

Here, I'll hold it.

Ancy's going to faint.

Ancy!

Suraj,

didn't I tell you not to tell her about the cat?

No one told me.

Ancy!

Oh no! Ancy!

Wake up!

Ancy!

- Get the vehicle. - Madam, her blood pressure shot up.

It's alright. I understood.

Antony.

He was planning to harm that girl.

When that failed, he killed the cat.

Do one thing. Post someone here.

Okay.

Then let him stay.

He's his friend as well.

He's got nothing to do at the station.

Stay here.

Hand over the keys, man.

Let's get going.

- Start the car now. - Sir.

Wasting time!

Don't worry. Is there no one else here?

Everyone's gone.

Oh. Sorry.

Why are you apologising?

I didn't know

you were orphans.

It's alright. Everyone asks that.

How did they die?

It's okay if you don't want to talk about it.

No, it's alright.

Our parents died in a landslide.

Neither of us remembers our mother's face.

I think Ancy remembers a little, right?

A little.

I don't remember at all.

Everyone says our mother was the prettiest woman in town.

Neither of us inherited her beauty.

Who says that? You're both beautiful.

Right, Suraj?

Yes.

A film shoot once took place in our town.

The director cast mom because she was so beautiful.

She even had a dialogue.

"Brother, you can't park here.

Move it a little further."

We still haven't seen that film.

We are still trying to find it.

"Brother, you can't park here. Move it a little further."

I'll keep an eye out too.

- Great! - Have your tea.

It's too hot.

Reuben.

Reuben.

Yes?

Oh dear!

- What is it? - Why did you call me?

Who called you?

You did. You called me twice.

Okay, bye.

Well... Since you're here, give me that remote.

Thanks, Reuben.

I couldn't thank you earlier.

A thank-you isn't enough.

You owe me a treat.

And make it somewhere fancy.

I can do that.

Tell me. What do you want?

Damn! I forgot my phone.

Stop the bike.

There's a way.

Reuben, I forgot my phone. Can you get it for me?

What's this? You look angry.

Shouldn't you remember?

I forgot, man.

Okay, then. Ta-ta.

Go make tea.

Mom, Sister.

- Hi, Aunty. - Hi, dear.

- How is he, dear? - Reuben's doing great.

I'll miss your tea tomorrow. I'm rejoining my team.

There's not much chance of you getting threats from outside.

Except for him.

I used to have a butterfly clip like that.

You did?

Its wings would flutter when I walked.

My mom bought it for me when I was little.

You don't get them anymore.

It must've looked lovely on you.

Yes.

So, where's your mother?

My mom passed away.

- My mom passed away too. - Really?

- Same here. - Same here.

At least he should realise that.

He comes and sits with us.

And pokes his nose into our conversations.

Think about it.

Then I told him,

that... I...

What's it, sir?

What's so funny?

No, we were just...

- Were you talking about me? - No.

It's not about you.

We've got plenty of other things to talk about.

Is it even worth talking about a driver?

Finished your tea?

Okay, then.

What did I tell you?

How's he supposed to know any better?

He got the job by buttering up the minister.

Yeah, right?

Idiots like us had to clear exams

and slog our guts out for it.

Hello.

Do you know who this is?

Shall I tell you?

- Shall I? - No.

I will tell you.

Let me.

No.

Shall I? Where's your phone?

No. No. No. No. I'll give you one!

Look.

It's our Antony sir.

They're in love.

Did you see it?

Oh no. I can't see your tears.

Look at her crying.

Doesn't that look lovely?

What could be so special about her

that Antony sir is behind her?

Do you know why?

Tell me. Aren't you the good one, Leena?

Aren't you?

Are you?

Are you really that good?

If you are,

why does Antony sir keep going to her place four times a week?

You're just his mistress.

What will I do?

I have got an idea.

If you like Antony sir that much,

shall I kill Leena?

Shall I? Shall I kill Leena?

No! Don't!

No?

No?

I'll make sure Antony sir is all yours, Meenakshi.

No? I shouldn't?

Leena...

Tell me, Leena.

What's the matter?

Are you crying?

Or, shall I kill her instead?

Let's not kill anyone.

Let Antony sir enjoy having both of you.

But what should I do for Antony sir?

What shall I do for him?

Then I'll make Leena beautiful.

And then I'll make you beautiful.

Come on!

It's alright.

Looks lovely, doesn't it?

Leena!

You look absolutely beautiful.

- Now it's your turn. Come on. - Leave me.

Leave me.

Oh, so you colour your hair?

What colour is this? Burgundy?

Now, let's call Antony sir.

Meenakshi, call him

and tell him the Mask-man kidnapped you.

Leena, call him and say

your child fell off a bicycle and is being taken to hospital.

Let's see

who Antony sir comes to first.

Antony sir! This is for you!

There.

Come on.

Hey...

Someone get some water.

Bring some water.

This...

Madam,

I'll nab the bastard who pulled this stunt.

I'll finish him!

- Antony... - Sir,

untie them first. You can make your vows later.

Tell them to get it fast.

Someone help sir up.

- Get up. - Hey!

Hold him.

Sir...

This wasn't aimed at those women.

It was aimed at you.

Did you say anything that might've hurt someone recently?

What could I have said? And to whom?

Sir, you never know what might hurt someone.

Sir, stay strong. We're all here for you.

Suraj is right.

This was aimed at Antony.

Then what if all the other cases were like this too?

- Suraj! - Yes, sir.

Come. Let's go.

Hey, cover it up.

Come here.

- Give me the keys. - I'll drive, sir.

You stink, man.

Move aside.

Look at him!

Move!

How's anyone supposed to come near you?

Go jump into the manhole!

Filthy idiot!

Maybe he isn't targeting the victims.

What if he's targeting the people affected by what happens to them?

Reena...

Reena!

Hello!

- Hi! - Hey!

What's up?

It's Reuben's birthday. We're having a small party.

He didn't tell me.

It's a surprise party. Come on, join us.

No, my daughter's alone at home.

We'll pick her up on the way. Come on.

Is that so?

Okay.

Shall I drive?

No, I'll drive.

Move it over there.

How old is Reuben today?

No idea, dear. Ask him yourself.

Hold this.

Suraj bro!

- Happy Birthday! - Hi.

- Thank you. - Get the cake.

Ah, the cake.

Come. Come.

Yay!

Brother...

Suraj bro...

Hey!

Hey!

Hey, Veeru!

Veeru, stop there.

Sister... Sister...

Stop! I'll smear the cake on you.

Please, Reuben...

I was only joking. Please...

No, I won't. Eat it.

Please... Please.

Don't smear it on my face.

- I will eat it. - Here.

Oh no! You got cake all over his face.

- Happy? - Go wash up.

Or you will get pimples.

Hello! Attention, everyone.

Our little one has a song for us to celebrate Reuben's birthday.

You'll sing, won't you, dear?

Alright, sing.

Turn around and face them.

Okay.

Come on, sing.

Reuben!

- Reuben! - Oh no! What happened?

Boss! Reuben...

Reuben, dear...

Reuben...

- Get some water. - Bring some water.

You alright?

What happened?

The sound from the mic.

Do you need any medicine?

What medicine?

So your hearing power comes with problems like this?

It's nothing but problems.

I have to keep focusing on one particular sound.

Otherwise, I hear everything.

But isn't that a good thing?

Try this.

Focus on your breathing with every breath you take.

Leave that.

Try focusing on your blinking.

It's really difficult.

This focusing business is hard.

But being able to hear everything... isn't that a superpower?

A superpower?

Back in ancient times,

Sage Vyasa granted his disciple

two powers. Divine sight and divine hearing.

So blind Dhritarashtra and Gandhari

could receive live updates from the Mahabharata war.

And you've been blessed with that divine hearing.

Divine hearing?

Nonsense!

Bro, there are a lot of superpowers.

Super speed,

flying, teleportation,

and even shooting webs.

At least those powers are useful.

What will I do with this hearing power?

Even if I hear someone's in danger, I can't fly there like Superman.

By the time I catch an auto rickshaw

and get there, it'll all be over.

And I'll lose my sleep and peace of mind.

You don't get it, man.

If I had that power,

I would have taken it to the highest level.

Highest level?!

You could never get it up that high.

For real.

You'd never get it up...

If a café worker like you can get it up,

why can't someone from an investigation squad?

Squad?

You're just a driver.

You're not the one solving cases.

I've solved cases too.

Technically,

I was the one who solved that case.

I told you so many times to take the other route.

See what happened when you went your way.

We would've got lost.

Let's say Driver Suraj gets a superpower.

Just imagine it. For fun.

He hears beforehand that Chitra Madam is ready,

so he starts the vehicle and waits.

What's the use of that?

Madam still has to get into the vehicle.

Only then can you drive off.

Right?

Yes.

I'll give you another example.

Our socially responsible Suraj is driving along.

Then he hears an ambulance one kilometre behind him.

He immediately pulls over and waits.

What's the point of that?

You only need to make way when the ambulance gets close.

The only advantage is,

he'll know beforehand if the engine breaks down.

Not really.

You'd still have to call a mechanic.

That's right.

Mr. Driver Suraj bro,

that's why I said,

if this superpower is useless for a café worker like me,

it's even more useless for you.

You're not going to become Flash Suraj.

Now you're finally getting it.

It's easy to talk.

Only the person living with it knows the real pain.

Now tell me.

- Is this a superpower or... - Hey, Birthday Boy!

It's okay.

Only one egg broke.

Flash Suraj is now Bullseye Suraj.

You're alright, aren't you?

I'll get some water.

- Where the hell were you looking? - Dad... Dad...

- Get Suraj some water. - Shall we go over there?

Come.

Shucks!

I'll count to ten.

A plane will fly past then.

Ten... Nine...

Eight... Seven...

Six... Five...

Four... Three...

Two... One...

Look!

Wow!

Yay!

Yay!

Wave ta-ta.

- Ta-ta. - Ta-ta.

Two tickets, right?

- Here you go. - Okay.

How was your day today?

It was alright.

They showed me around the place today.

That's why I was late. I can leave early tomorrow.

If you don't make fun of me, can I give you something?

A kiss?

Ew! No, it's not a kiss!

Then what's it?

Wait, do you want a kiss?

Oh, no thanks.

Anyway, what's it?

Well...

Look, it flutters like this.

Where did you get this?

I managed to get it.

Hey...

Let me put this in my hair. Look.

Wow! It looks really nice.

You look so pookie.

Can I ask you something?

I...

Sister, I...

We've reached the stop. Get down now.

Get down now.

Come on, quick!

You can unload your stuff later.

Make way for others.

Wait...

I wanted to meet you.

Don't go.

Sister...

There's a marriage proposal from Muvattupuzha.

They said the groom is working in a hospital at Dubai.

He'll be coming on leave next month.

When I showed them Ancy's photo, they got really interested.

Can you please talk to Ancy about this?

I've been bringing numerous marriage proposals for her!

I'll talk to her.

Suraj bro.

Didn't get to see you after the birthday party.

You look so glum.

It's nothing, man.

Is it about the case?

That'll be fine. Why do you look off?

Oh, brother...

Day by day, whatever I get into is getting messed up.

Take Sister's case.

I got so close to proposing,

and it flopped.

What happened?

- Don't make fun of me. - I won't.

She always talks about a butterfly clip.

She's got some emotional connection with it.

After wandering around a lot, I somehow managed to get it for her.

Just to impress her.

I couldn't propose.

Now the clip is gone.

She too is.

Bro, don't laugh.

Can I tell you the truth?

Mom... one minute.

- Mom. - What are you doing?

Suraj bro is here.

Oh, really?

"Brother... you can't park here. Could you move it a bit?"

When they invited us for the wedding, they specifically said...

Mom, what movie are you watching right now?

Eh? Movie?

I don't know, it's some old movie. A flop movie.

Mom, whatever type of movie it is.

Just tell me its name.

That's...

Yes. So...

Okay.

Hello?

Bro...

Got it!

That movie Susanna's mom acted in, the one we talked about. I found it!

Shall I do something?

I'll download this movie and show it to her.

When she gets emotional watching it,

I'll propose.

Can I give you an even more romantic idea?

You use that idea to propose.

See! When it comes to my matters, you're fired up!

- Have it. - Cheers!

Eat up. Here.

All set.

All set. All set.

You send a message to your Susanna.

Tell her, "Dear, leave a bit early."

Tell her there's a surprise today.

You somehow need to get the house keys from Ancy.

I will arrange a bunch of roses for you.

Scatter them around the place.

And then, nicely

put that movie on a pen drive,

and set it up on the TV with a good surround system.

She is going to hear her mother's voice for the first time, right?

She comes home

sees the flowers

gets surprised

you show her the movie

she gets emotional.

Flat!

Now you propose.

Serve this.

Reuben!

Hey...

No... don't...

No... don't...

Please...

Please...

Please... please...

Don't... please...

Oh no!

What happened?

Let's go to the hospital.

No... Let's not go to the hospital!

Reuben!

Dad!

Hi!

Hello!

What were you doing all this time?

Finished all the homework.

Oh! Did you have food?

What's in the carrybag?

What's in the carrybag? Tell me!

Al Faham?

Sir, you are late every day.

- I got things to do back home. - Oh no, sorry!

Say sorry. Say sorry.

Chew well and eat, okay?

Didn't I tell you? Didn't I tell you?

I told you so.

Let me get you water. Wait.

Dad... Dad...

It's a big deal that you're even reopening this case now, madam.

It's been 6 years...

No point in keeping the hope alive...

No point in waiting... People say all such things to us.

But I can't just stop looking for her, right?

She's my child!

If possible, please find my child for me, Madam.

Please.

Reuben...

Reuben...

Don't get up.

Lie down. Take rest.

Reuben...

Reuben...

I've dressed your ear.

Don't move. Sit here.

Take rest.

Oh no! Let her go!

Reuben! Reuben!

You stay here!

- Reuben! - Ancy, let go!

Ancy, let me go. I have to go!

Don't!

Reuben! Please! Don't go, Reuben!

Listen to me. Don't go.

Let him go.

I've been asking you to go get some fish. Hurry up now!

Don't waste time, man!

Where are you going, Reuben?

Reuben, don't go anywhere now.

Listen to me...

Don't go anywhere.

Reuben...

Please listen to me.

Reuben... Reuben...

Reuben, listen to me... Don't go.

Please... Please listen...

Reuben...

What did I do for you to treat me like this?

How can you be so selfish?

Did you forget that he did that to me in my own house?

In my own room?

How many times did I come here

to see if you were okay?

Not even once...

Not even once did you ask if I was okay.

And now you're just going to leave?

Just go...

Go die!

Can you at least say something?

Sister...

Why does this always happen to me?

First the accident...

I lay there for two years.

Somehow I got back up...

My ears...

Those got better too...

And now this...

I can't take this anymore.

I'm scared.

Can I go, please?

I know...

It's hard.

But it'll all be okay.

It will...

I have to find him.

Hmm?

Don't, Reuben.

Nothing good will come of it.

You know...

He could've killed us that day.

But he let us go.

Just leave it.

Just forget something like that ever happened.

Sister...

Yes?

I don't want to do anything to him.

I just want to know who he is,

and why he did this to us.

Whoever he is,

there had to be a reason, right?

If it was because of something I did...

I need to know.

What if we tell the police?

No...

Why?

They'll make fun of me.

- Who? The police? - Mm...

What if he does this to someone else?

He came to my house and killed Kunjumani.

Who knows what he'll do next?

We need to catch him.

But let's not tell the police.

Alright.

How about we tell Suraj?

Aren't you two close?

Reuben...

I'm not asking you to file a case.

Shouldn't someone responsible know about this?

I'll tell...

Don't tell.

You shouldn't tell.

I also won't tell.

They'll make a laughing stock out of you.

I know them.

I may just be a driver,

but listen to me.

You won't have the strength to handle all that.

I know that, but...

I need to know who he is.

Why me...

I...

Don't cry...

Is there any way you can help us?

I'll help you.

Who else is there to help you?

Just don't involve them.

Take it from me, like an older brother.

We understand.

You play, dear.

Don't ever let anyone...

Don't let a single person...

Not even God, ever insult you.

They can only do that if we let them.

No matter how big or small

an insult is an insult.

That's all there is to it.

Even after all those blows to your ears,

you never lost that power.

I don't know anything.

What an incredible power.

Everyone the Mask-man has targeted

is someone he holds a grudge against.

The police think

they must've wronged him somehow.

Think carefully.

Did you ever hurt anyone?

You know me...

I don't go around hurting people.

Of course I know.

What I mean is...

You do have a habit of talking out of your butt.

Remember all the crap you talked at my birthday?

You just wouldn't stop spewing crap.

I just...

I get it.

Think hard.

Call me if you remember anything.

If I find out anything,

I'll let you know.

Whatever information I get, you'll be the first to know.

Shall we get going?

- Let's go? - Mm...

- Bye... - Bye.

Have you no shame?

Now one of your own got screwed over too.

Pathetic.

I should've put some hired thugs on this

instead of you lot.

They'd have dragged him in here

with broken arms and legs by now.

Sir, I understand how you feel.

But please try to understand our situation too.

Reena's case wasn't an isolated incident.

We have DCRB records.

Four cases in total.

Two of them were reported recently.

And another fourteen from the SCRB.

None of the victims are connected.

Cases of varying degrees

and different modus operandi..

And that's just data from the last ten years, sir.

What kind of cases?

They might sound silly when you hear them.

A district court judge's lovebirds

were burned alive in their cage.

He urinated on an old man's ashes

days before his widow was to perform the final rites.

Don't... Please...

He attacked a primary school teacher

poured superglue on her hand,

and stuck it to her mouth.

He mummified a 70-year-old man in a public toilet.

He stole a man's expensive shoes

and burned them.

That's not all, sir.

At a Tahsildar's house...

A shoe theft?

Hm?

Sir, all the case details are in this file.

You ought to be ashamed of yourself for saying that.

Is this joker really that hard to catch?

It sounds ridiculous.

People also found it ridiculous that

the Home Minister's daughter was thrown into a drain.

Only those who've suffered know the pain.

Sir, I've met every one of these victims.

There's no pattern. No method.

Nothing.

He's completely random and unpredictable.

Maybe the victim wasn't even the real target.

In this case,

who was the real target?

Was it Reena?

Or was it you?

We don't know.

But one thing is certain.

He destroys the people or things

that matter most to

those he holds grudges against.

That makes him a sadist.

In our case,

a tactical sadist.

Hm.

Tactical sadist...

Mm...

Dear...

It's not me, it's Reuben.

You do have a habit of talking out of your butt.

Remember all the crap you said at my birthday?

You just wouldn't stop spewing crap.

Everyone the Mask-man has targeted

is someone he holds a grudge against.

But you were rude to me yesterday.

Think carefully.

Did you ever hurt anyone?

Or insult anyone?

Let me suggest something a little more romantic.

Use that when you propose to her.

What happened?

What's wrong?

Do you want to go to the hospital?

Reuben?

It's been like this for days now.

I just can't...

Sorry.

Let's go to the police now, at least.

Not yet.

All we know now is what he did to us,

and to the Minister's daughter.

But we don't have any proof.

We know who the Mask-man is.

But we don't know everything he's been doing.

So we need evidence first, right?

Mm-hmm.

We need to find the link between him and his victims.

How do we do that?

He's told them everything.

- Can we meet him? - Okay, madam. I'll come.

The rites were the very next day.

That's when he did it.

I raised them with so much love...

I can't even go out without a mask now.

Do you know how long I struggled to breathe in that toilet?

I worked so hard to buy those shoes.

Shall we go, madam?

Madam...

Any leads on the Mask-man?

We're investigating.

I can't give you any more details right now.

I'll let you know if we find anything.

Is that okay?

I'm trying to find him too.

If only I knew who it was...

The police brushed it off...

If I get my hands on him...

He'll hurt more people...

What did he do to you, son?

Come in.

Hi.

Have you eaten?

Why did you do that to me?

Seeing those big ears of yours still in one piece...

I knew you'd end up here.

Just tell me why

you did it.

Have some peanut butter.

Okay.

You said I couldn't get it up.

And you really insulted me.

That was foul...

Reuben, just let it go.

You really got under my skin.

So I got back at you.

One for one.

We're even.

Look here.

We're good now.

If you want, you can say sorry to me.

I'll say sorry too.

Jeez...

How can I just let it go?

Hm?

I'm the one whose butt got kicked.

Watch your mouth. The kid's here. I'll whack you!

Dear...

Enough? Go sit over there.

Uncle is speaking bad words.

So this is why you've been after me all these days?

Who said I was after you?

I was after that madam.

I needed to know.

I need to know everything you've done.

Reuben, let it go. It's over.

I have.

After today, it's all over.

Today's our last day.

I'm the one who saved your life.

Don't forget that, okay?

Suraj...

For that reason alone,

you're like God to me.

But now...

I don't believe in God anymore.

What's this? A drum solo?

Your heart's going thump-thump.

Getting angry?

What more can you do to me?

But do you know what I did?

I dug into your past.

Back in fifth grade

a boy hit you with a cricket bat,

and busted one of your balls.

Bullseye Suraj.

That's your nickname, right?

No wonder you got so worked up when I said that.

Sorry.

Just let it go.

The guy who smashed your wicket...

His name was...

Ramesh.

His daughter went missing five or six years ago.

She was only two years old.

How old are you, dear?

Eight years old.

Suraj...

Six plus two is eight.

Simple.

Touch the child and you'll regret it.

Why would I touch someone else's child?

Ramesh.

He can.

She's his daughter.

Ramesh, do you still play cricket?

Suraj, please give me my daughter.

- Please... - Hey Ramesh...

It's okay, let him hug her.

It's their last hug.

Last hug?

Ramesh, just five minutes.

And the police will be here.

Till now, we only had circumstantial evidence.

Now we've got living proof.

Right now...

It's two for one.

Suraj...

Give me back my child.

No... No...

- Get lost! Go on! - Keep the knife away! She's just a child!

- Please... No need. No... - Get the hell out!

Please don't...

Don't worry so much.

He won't stab her.

She's the one he treasures most.

Aw...

Look at her.

And you were going to stab this little girl?

- Stop it... - You're so cruel.

Please, Suraj...

Please don't hurt my child.

Oh, yes! The police are almost here.

Great!

See? I told you. You couldn't do it.

Just leave the child!

Come, dear.

Running away scared?

- Dad... - Pathetic.

Hey...

- When you were beating me half to death... - It's okay, dear.

In that bathroom, you didn't look this scared.

The bag... the money...

Ah... so you were expecting trouble, huh?

Don't... Stop it.

How far will you run, Lightning Suraj?

Oho!

Can't mess with people so easily without a mask, can you?

I just wanted to see you scared.

- That's all. - Hey, hey!

I'm paying for saying things like that.

Please stop.

It's nothing... He won't do squat.

He's scared.

Look at his face.

Just like a bullseye.

Suraj, please give her to me.

Suraj...

My dear...

My child...

Get the car...

Dear...

The car... Hurry...

Stop the jeep... Stop...

Madam... my child...

- What happened? - Get in.

Start the jeep.

Quick!

Why did you come here with him?

Oh, no... my child...

Nothing's going to happen to our child.

Who in their right mind would do something like that?

He took him straight to Suraj's house.

Idiot.

- Anyway, let us... - Ah!

You went after him without telling me?

All this circus...

If you find him, first let me...

You bloody...

- You've been sitting here? - Antony, sir...

- Let go of him, sir. - Tell me!

- Where the hell is he? Speak! - Stop it, sir.

- Step away. - He knows everything.

- Sir, please listen to us. - Step back, Antony.

- This is a hospital. - Please don't create a scene.

To hell with the hospital!

What do you even know, madam?

Those two are thick as thieves.

Shut up!

Let go!

Take him away.

- Hello? - Hello madam, it's Ancy.

That cat incident...

My sister, Susanna...

She is... Suraj...

That Suraj who was with you...

Sir, here are the documents.

The boat arrives in the morning. You can leave on it.

Meet Prabhu as soon as you reach Colombo.

He'll take care of the rest.

How's the kid?

She's in the ICU.

I heard she's critical.

Hey, Bullseye!

Buddy!

Don't you remember me?

- You can't forget me that easily. - Look at Daddy.

- What's in your hand? - How's everything

down there?

Sleepy, sweetheart?

This is my wife.

Still haven't figured out who he is?

Suraj.

Bullseye.

Ah... Now I remember.

- You know how long he'd been pursuing you? - Uncle's name is Bullseye.

Didn't you have a girlfriend?

- Shyamili, wasn't it? - Don't sleep...

What's she up to now?

You guys didn't get married?

What happened?

Still won't stand up, huh?

That's not a big problem these days.

Doctors told you that you can't have kids?

If that's true, you've got a problem. Otherwise, you're fine.

Got it?

This is my daughter.

Alright then.

Take care.

Bye.

Look...

- Say bye to Bullseye Uncle. - Bye.

- Bye... - Let's go.

See you.

So he can't have kids?

I don't think so.

Poor guy... How sad.

Susanna...

Your Reuben killed my daughter.

- Stop... - Here he comes again...

- What? - Sir, can I come with you?

Piss off!

I'll help you find him.

- Get lost. - I can hear, sir...

Move it!

- Get going! - Sir...

- Sir... Please, sir... - Beat it!

Sir...

Please, sir...

Sir...

Control Tiger calling.

Tiger control answering.

No indication Mask-man, CPO Sooraj has left city limits.

All mobile units, conduct strict vehicle checks.

Implement the IRP plan. Check every vehicle.

Check all hotels and lodges.

Clear, sir. We'll keep you posted.

Over.

Madam, please come.

Okay.

Any information from the patrol units?

Madam, we've blocked all entry and exit points to the city.

We're monitoring every traffic camera in the city.

He's still in hiding,

but he hasn't left the city yet.

We should have an update on your sister by this evening.

Attention all stations, mobile units, CRVs and traffic points.

Mask-man CPO Sooraj's phone was last detected

near the bus stand before it was switched off.

All CRVs and mobile units on bus stand duty, stay alert.

Step up patrols around all bus stands.

Come quickly!

Are you screwing with me, you idiot?

I'm almost there.

Then why did I just hear your gate close?

Ran into a bit of trouble.

Just get here, man.

Coming!

Remember what time you said you'd be here?

I'm losing my mind here.

Why are you in such a hurry?

The show's at 3.30, right?

You bloody...

I'm stuck here waiting for you.

I'm on my way, man.

Just ten more minutes. I'm almost there.

Babu, shall we split a lottery ticket?

Alright.

Your car number's on it. 4532.

Not that. Let's take another one.

That number's here too.

I can get it if you want.

See if the digits add up to eight.

Huh? Which number?

You know, something like 322...

Hang on.

Let me see if it adds up to eight.

- Yeah, it totals eight. - Then get it.

- That works, right? - Yes.

Send me your share on Google Pay, okay?

I will. Just take it.

I don't have any money. That's why I called you.

The locations of the Mask-man's crimes

matched Sooraj's movements as well.

Sooraj's bank records show

repeated transfers to a man named Ravi.

This Ravi is a known fraud.

He's into all kinds of shady dealings.

Sooraj's maid, Lakshmi

is Ravi's wife.

We're trying to track her down too.

Sooraj, how's the cupboard coming along?

- Sister, hello. - Suraj Bhai, any work to do?

Tell Susan to give the sales report...

Are you listening, Soumya?

The dishes I told you...

[Crowd's indistinct conversation]

You guys carry on...

We've received information that a girl named Susanna,

with curly hair and wearing a blue dress

was spotted near the market.

CRV 4, stay alert.

Step up patrols in the area.

Report any information to Control immediately.

Clear?

- Hello? - Yes, hello?

- Hello? - You can't park here.

Please move your vehicle.

Hello! Hello!

Are you able to hear what I'm saying?

Hang up and call back.

- Hello? - What a pain!

Please move your vehicle.

- Hello? - Yes, tell me.

Where are you?

- I'm... - You know what.

- Make sure the money... - I'll be there by morning.

- Where are you now? - I can't tell you that.

Just calm down, will you?

Calm down, huh?

You left me here and disappeared!

Once I send him off to Colombo...

- I'll get 50000 rupees. - You can't park here.

- What about the rest? - The rest can wait.

What do you mean it can wait?

- See what happened now? - I'm sick of telling creditors to wait.

Even with all his superpower...

I'm the one who first showed you this.

The money won't be enough.

What can we do with just 50000 rupees?

Do one thing. He's got some gold on him.

He killed my daughter.

Ask him for that too.

Who do I have left now?

Now you're all I've got.

We're helping him a lot.

I'll raise you.

- But you're all grown up now. - The police aren't fools.

- What will I do then? - This'll only bring trouble.

We're leaving for Sri Lanka tomorrow.

I worked there.

- Once we get there... - The police will find me first.

I'll find you a great big moron and get you married off.

And when you've had enough of him

you can marry someone else.

He'll still be better than this bloody moron.

I'm at the market now.

Did our daughter go to school?

How can I send her to school without paying the fees?

Do you know why I brought you here?

Enough, Don't listen to this ramble

and focus on the sounds around you.

Focus on the sound.

What's that?

If I do that, he gets off too easy.

A bell. A church bell.

You don't hand everyone

all the answers.

Where's the fun in that?

Sound of a large light flickering.

- He should wander around looking for you... - Sound of sheets.

straining those giant ears of his,

- and still never find an answer. - It's a metal sheet.

- He should never know. - There's a festival happening around.

Whether you're dead or alive.

Just like Ramesh

- searched for six years. - A church.

He should spend the next sixteen doing the same.

A temple festival next to it.

And when he finally finds you

you should hate him -A ship?

- -for the fate he forced on you. - No, the horn of a boat.

Harbour.

Whoa!

Factory siren.

Drink.

Want water?

Drink it.

Forget all about him.

Flight.

And live the life I give you.

Be it as a slave

or whatever you end up as.

What a fate!

Factory.

Harbour.

Attention, all devotees.

From the temple flagstaff...

But the Thaalapoli (procession) hasn't started yet.

I'm almost there.

I'm at the nearby junction.

Have Gowri and Lakshmi arrived?

I'll be there soon.

Amme Narayana Devi Narayana.

Attention, all devotees.

As the fireworks will be held on the north side of the temple...

Temple festival...

The church next to it.

are requested to move to the south side of the temple.

'GRAND THAALAPPOLI FESTIVAL'

The metal sheet...

And the big light next to it...

That's where they are.

The boat leaves at exactly 4 AM.

- Shall I go? - Mm.

- You have both of Prabhu's numbers, right? - Yes.

Sister...

Sorry...

Sorry...

Come on.

Reuben...

Reuben...

Reuben...

Oh, no...

No... Don't...

Let her go.

Sister!

Reuben!

Let me go...

Sister...

Sister...

Sister...

Sooraj...

I'm sorry...

Sorry... Please don't...

Reuben, my dear...

Didn't I tell you...

Don't... Don't do it...

Don't do it...

You're the one who stabbed my child.

This...

You brought this on yourself.

Now suffer.

Tonight, God's with me.

No...

Right now...

God's on my side.

I'm the one who saved your life.

Don't forget that...

For that reason alone,

you're like God to me.

Reuben, let it go. It's over.

Sooraj!

What's up?

I called Susanna again today.

She didn't come. She says she doesn't want to see you.

She's got quite an attitude.

Even when I bring up marriage

it's the same attitude.

She says we'll only get married

once I get a job, in a few years.

So I joined a short course.

Voice profiling.

In Ernakulam.

Oh, by the way...

I met Ramesh and his daughter in Ernakulam.

She's doing really well.

Very happy too.

She's forgotten all about you.

Not just her...

Nobody even remembers you anymore.

I'm the only one who does.
