'Psycho killers indulge in murder for their pleasure only, no other motive'

'Such criminal cases abound in India too, not only abroad'

'In 1970, Raman Raghavan killed 42 people in Mumbai'

'In 2006, in Delhi, Koli killed 19 women and children'

'In 1989, in Bengaluru Auto Shankar killed 9 women'

'The premise for this film is based on these psycho killers'

Did you think of my plight, Varun? The whole world knows we are dating.

What do I do if you suddenly say your dad isn't accepting our love?

Please Varun!

Don't do this!

How easily you expect me to forget our love?

Rajendra Nagar?

Hello, Varun Meet me just once.

Hello..

Hello..

Hello..

Damn!

This isn't the route to Rajendra Nagar?

I'm talking to you.

Inspector Gautam you've got a call.

Gautam, let me go.

Is this how a responsible cop behaves towards a girl?

I'm behaving like a responsible husband!

Enough of your film dialogue, take the call.

Sathya, wait.

Repeat what you just said.

Where?

'Every second'

Head is over there.

Words fail me, looking at the victim's state.

Her name is Swathi. She was working in I.T. park.

Her father's name is Pattabhi Rao.

I told my daughter so often not to trust that boy Varun.

Instead of listening to me she was madly in love with him.

I'm sure he has killed her.

Believe me!

I was in love with her.

I was scared of my father. That's why I called it off.

How will I kill someone, whom I loved so deeply?

You dare ask me?

I know why you killed her.

After having your fun with her, using your family as an excuse..

..you called and told her it's off!

Because she didn't take 'no' for an answer, you killed her!

Look, Varun, she had no hassles in life except you.

No one else has a motive to kill her other than you.

Don't act innocent.

Gautam, another girl has been found dead in Indira park.

According to the police, Swathi and Vineetha..

..the previous victims are in no way related.

But the pattern is same for both the murders.

Chief officer Gautam is here to investigate this case.

Vineetha's father, Eashwar Rao is a school teacher.

To earn a livelihood, we settled far away from our home town.

Her whole world is only her college and home, sir.

Her dream was to become a doctor.

Books were her sole companions.

You may be right.

But without your knowledge..

...some chap might have been interested in her.

My intention is not to hurt you with my questions.

Our goal is to nab the culprit.

Have you seen this boy before?

'According to the latest news due to lack of adequate evidence..'

'..Varun Gopal has been released from police custody'

'Police investigation is at a standstill.'

'Chief officer Gautam has assured the public he'll stop these heinous acts.'

Why have you come this way?

Hello, I'm asking you.

I don't know what these guys think.

I know how to deal with this.

Let me go!

Please, let me go!

Please, let me go.

Even if you shout, no one can hear you here.

It's a desolate place, far away from the city.

No one can rescue you.

For every scream of yours I'll chop 1 of your fingers.

Got it?

Understood?

Don't do anything to me, please

Please, let me go.

What do you want?

Money?

I'll give you.

How much ever you want.

Call my dad.

I'll give you his number.

Please, don't do anything to me.

Let me go.

Free me, I'll leave.

Take your hands off.

You are offering me money?

Take your hands off.

I'm not killing for money.

Only for pleasure.

Give me that pleasure.

Understand?

What's the use of you living?

You'll marry some man, have babies and die one day.

Take your hands off.

So if you die now and here..

...you don't lose anything.

- Gautam? - Yes?

Gautam!

Come to the hall immediately.

'Near Nampally station at 7:25 a.m today, railway staff found a dead body in a bag..'

'..and informed the police'

'Hearing this, Inspector Balram Kishan of Saifabad sector arrived at the venue.'

'Pooja's body was retrieved from the bag.'

'It has come to our notice Pooja was a college student.'

'Pooja's car stalled and she left it by the side of the road.'

'That's all we know.'

'After that she was found dead.'

'Injuries on Pooja's body resemble that of the previous two victims.'

'Police suspect it to be the act of the same psycho killer.'

'Day before was Swathi Yesterday was Vineetha.'

'Today, it is Pooja.'

'Even though the three girls have nothing in common..'

'...the same pattern remains a mystery'

After examining the three bodies, I'm sure the culprit is a psycho killer.

Psycho killings are common in America and Europe.

But can't say it is rare in our country.

In 1970, Raman Raghavan killed 42 people in Mumbai.

In 1989, Auto Shankar killed 9 women in Bengaluru.

In 1998, Gundla Gopal killed 39 people in Chittoor district.

In 2006, in Delhi, Koli killed 19 women and children.

What was the motive?

Pleasure of killing.

'Including Swathi, Vineetha, Pooja..'

'..in the past week, also Anitha, Sunitha, Vijaya, Sumathi, Archana have been killed.'

'Count now is eight murders.'

'If this demon incarnate is still roaming free..'

'..we are at a loss if we should be angry with the police or not.'

'Special officer of Crime branch, Gautam is on the line to discuss this case.'

Usually to figure out the motive for the murder..

..we investigate the victim's background.

Who will benefit by this act?

Does the victim have any enemies?

We interrogate close friends and family of the victim.

But this killer seems to act in a random manner.

He kills on first sight any girl he sets his eyes on.

We are at a dead end for clues of any kind.

We have no leads on the killer to follow any trail.

So your department is a team of sissy cops!

Should we sit scared and quiet?

And blame ourselves for electing such a Govt that has employed you?

Stop it!

Watch your tongue!

We are cops but not God.

Each murder of his is in a different area.

In a city with a population of five million, where do you expect us to hunt for him?

We are doing our best.

Many of our officers are in civilian attire.

Mainly in and around parks, colleges and call centers.

My whole body trembles even to hear all this.

Have you investigated any case like this before, Gautam?

No, Sathya.

I never thought I would handle a case like this.

As far as I know no officer has.

For every moment we don't find him..

..I'm stressed that 1 more girl will be his next victim, Sathya.

Can you drop me near the station?

That will be 150 bucks.

Make it 100.

If you want, take another passenger also.

No.

Okay, fine.

I'll give only 100 bucks Not more than that, okay?

I'll call you after I get home.

Okay?

Yes, love you too.

Bye.

Hey man, this isn't the way to the station.

Hello!

Didn't you hear what I just said?

Hello, Sekar.

This cab driver is behaving weird.

Save me, Sekar!

Leave me!

What do you want from me?

Let me go.

What are you doing? I won't talk about this to anyone.

Leave me. I won't go to the cops.

Let me go. I won't tell anyone.

My mom will be waiting for me.

Let me go.

Let me go. I won't tell anyone.

I swear, I won't tell anyone about you.

Not a single soul.

Let go of me.

Let go of me.

When he last spoke to Swathi over the phone, Varun told us..

..someone was with her and he heard her hushing him.

Varun even heard the horn.

Killer must have been on the road.

There are two witnesses who saw Vineetha and Archana get into the cab.

So do you think the killer uses a cab to murder?

May be.

Why would the cab driver be a silent spectator?

Or can the killer be the cab driver himself?

We should analyze all our doubts thoroughly.

Collect information about call taxis and share taxis at the murder spot.

Sathya, please.

Hello.

Another dead body has been found.

Mr. Gautam My name is Asha.

I'm a crime reporter from TV6.

Can you at least now specify when these murders will stop? Mr. Gautam.

Mr. Gautam.

This is typical police attitude.

They come in like wedding guests Inspect the dead bodies and leave.

Watch your tongue!

Don't talk rubbish without knowing the facts.

So tell us what to report.

Unless you talk, what can we convey?

Is he a lamb to be found easily?

I've told you earlier, it is tough to find a killer without a motive.

We may nab him tomorrow.

A week Or even a month.

So you think more girls must die within this time frame?

That's not my opinion.

Without any proof, talking irresponsibly like you..

..we'll only stress out the public even more.

Try to understand.

Are we irresponsible?

Our responsibility is to report facts to the public promptly.

Look, we have work to do, can't waste time talking to you.

We aren't jobless either.

We are doing our jobs too.

So allow me to do my duty.

12 murders till now.

Not a single witness from any case so far.

All the victims have been killed only at night.

So much we study unable to find a single clue.

For us to proceed forward..

..our only clue is..

...the killer maybe a cab driver.

There are 2,00,000 cab drivers in our city.

How will you identify the culprit?

Split into 20 teams of 2 officers each.

Interrogate the taxi drivers having criminal background.

Even if one case is filed against a driver, question him.

Don't exclude private cars.

Investigate all cabs which have cab boards.

Ensure at least 100 cops dressed as plain clothes men..

..keep an eye on all cabs.

The way how important it is to nab him..

...same priority should be given to prevent another murder.

Excuse me.

Shailaja.

I'm here to discuss the psycho killings.

I've done research on psycho killers in USA.

I'm at present working in Orlando in Behavioural science department.

I'm here to attend my niece's wedding.

I watched the news on TV about these string of murders.

I'm definite.

This is the act of a psycho killer.

If you don't mind, I'm willing to offer my expertise.

I got married when I was 18.

My husband and I went abroad for higher studies.

One day in a shopping mall suddenly a guy started shooting.

While trying to escape my husband was hit by 6 bullets.

On the spot..

..took me a long time for me to come out of it.

What can prompt a man to kill another man without reason?

This question tormented my mind.

That's why I decided to study abnormal cases.

And I chose behavioural science.

Gautam, one hour before Rajini's death..

..she or her kidnapper has used her credit card

Her card has been swiped in an electronic shop in Ameerpet.

What are the details?

Don't know, at 10:24 p.m 10,500 bucks has been debited.

Rajini's friend has reported that she spoke to him at 10:00 p.m.

She got into the cab at Banjara hills.

Purchase was made at Ameerpet.

Why was she shopping till 11:00 p.m?

She must have been kidnapped by then.

Guna, you and Chetan bring the shopkeeper here.

Collect duplicate copies of car forms from the RTO office.

Show all the photos to him and ask him to identify the buyer.

If the killer has swiped the card..

..he must have killed her somewhere between Banjara hills and Ameerpet.

Gautam, such men when they find a victim..

...will plan how cruelly they can carry out the act.

They'll take the victim Calmly hear her screams of pain.

And kill her deriving great pleasure out of it.

Like a kid.

Why compare them to a kid?

Whether we like it or not kids aren't as innocent as we think.

Many kids tie a string to a dragon fly.

They find great pleasure seeing it tremble, unable to fly.

Some kids catch ants and enjoy seeing them burn in a candle light.

But as they grow older..

..due to their family upbringing, religious beliefs and social customs.

..they learn humanitarian values.

But many criminals and psychos don't mature mentally.

Till now the shopkeeper has identified 198 people.

Why 198?

He says he doesn't remember some flimsy excuse or the other.

Interrogate all 198 members.

Will this work out?

Tell me if you have a better idea than this.

Or just do as I say.

Do you have anything to say?

Investigate the age group between 20 and 30 specially.

Psycho killers usually belong to that age group only.

Don't trust even the most innocent looking ones.

Even their own family and close friends won't be able to guess their true colors.

Because they lead such a normal life.

Go to class and study properly, okay?

Sitaram, you hardly drop by these days?

- Where's brother? - Your brother is at work.

I'll be back after boarding the kids in their school bus.

Go you're late.

Mother?

How are you?

Of course I'll be fine!

You are fine, right?

Sit down.

You live in the same city and don't visit me even once a month.

I have no clue how you are or if you're eating properly.

And you don't want me to come and stay with you.

Do you think I'll bug you about getting married?

Your health isn't too good.

And I work late hours from morning till midnight.

At least here, my elder brother and his wife take good care of you.

If you care so much for me then why don't you get married.

Shouldn't I find a girl?

Shailaja ma'am, a psycho killer shouldn't be seen as a criminal?

Exactly.

They must be treated as dangerous mental patients.

Like a patient?

Absolutely.

Killing a man, not for enmity or for monetary gains..

..but for sheer pleasure.

It's a mental disorder.

Have you studied such cases?

Yes, of course.

In Seattle, Ted Bundy killed 40 girls in a gruesome manner.

A man named Green River killer became famous for killing 80 girls, in Washington.

Richard Ramirez, Edmund Kemper, Ed Gein are many such psycho killers.

But are you denying the fact city police have been inefficient?

Nonsense!

They are working way beyond their capacity.

It's not a simple task to nab a psycho killer.

Even the world renowned FBI..

..took almost 20 years to catch Gary Ridgway who killed 80 girls.

Sister, you got no brains Absolutely zilch.

- Am I brainless? - Then what?

Will you apply layers of make up and announce to the whole world on TV?

If he had seen you, he'll come here in the middle of the night, kill all of us.

I'm terrified he might kill me ignoring the fact I'm a man!

If you're scared about every single thing, you can't live at all.

That's exactly what I'm saying.

If he has watched this on TV then we can't live at all.

- So listen to me. - What?

Call for a Press meet and announce that we shouldn't hinder his pleasure.

Request girls who are out at night to cooperate and surrender to him.

That's all.

Shailaja ma'am.

When my team tried tracking the cab drivers, one of them escaped.

He has been caught and brought to the office.

I'd like you also to come.

Get up.

Open your mouth and spill it out.

- Tell me. - I don't know anything.

Then why did you run?

- Speak up. - I don't know.

- Tell me. - I'll tell.

I was part of Irfan's gang.

I used to smuggle drugs in my cab now and then.

I heard the cops used encounter tactics on the new comers of Irfan's gang.

So I panicked and ran But I didn't kill anyone.

Trust me, please.

I didn't kill anyone.

Believe me, sir.

Look at these photos and tell me.

Have you seen any of the girls earlier?

Be honest.

No, madam.

I don't know any of them.

You maybe a well known psychiatrist.

But how can you be so sure he isn't guilty?

He is our only suspect in this case so far.

Gautam, such psycho killers are not normal criminals.

If I spot even the slightest pretence in his eyes..

..with my experience I can easily find out.

He is innocent You can take my word.

Two more girls have been found dead near Patabasti.

Neha and Varsha Hardly 20 years old.

After their nurse duty last night they stepped out of the hospital.

They got into a cab That's all we know.

Today their bodies were found in Patabasti.

The psycho killer's count rises now to sixteen.

Unable to nab him and save innocent girls from dying..

..wonder if I should be angry with myself or feel ashamed!

I understand what you're going through.

But you're doing your best, right?

That's not the point, Sathya.

I'm not finding proper leads for this case.

This waiting is what kills me.

What's the use of simply trying?

One of the nurse's mother boarded them in the cab.

Chetan, arrange a Press meet.

According to our investigations the psycho killer must be a cab driver.

Why are you late? Didn't get an auto?

I took a cab.

What? You took a cab?

They are flashing on TV all about a cab driver being the psycho killer.

You came in cab! Why?

That psycho killer is targeting girls, not middle aged women!

But I have my safety measures.

What's your safety?

The psycho killer won't be scared by your toy gun!

That's original.

Original?

Why are you scared like a kid, brother?

Kids won't be scared.

They shoot a toy gun bang bang.

I'm old enough..

I'm grown up So I know the danger.

Hi, I'm Gautam, DCP they are my assistants.

I'm brother of Shailaja.

I have no assistants.

What?

Hey, Gautma, it's you?

- Hi, Shailaja ma'am. - Hi.

We just dropped by on the way to investigating this case.

I want to discuss the killer's profile with you.

- Sure, come. - Just a minute.

Is it your gun?

How will it be with me if it isn't mine?

I'm sorry.

Are you such a big officer to hold such a powerful gun?

- That much big? - Not big. Special.

If you don't mind can I touch it?

- To gain some courage. - Come.

Go.

Get some cool drinks for them.

Please drink something cold.

'We are fully aware that people think twice to get into cabs.'

'This has inconvenienced the public to a large extent.'

'City buses are over crowded now.'

'Cab drivers protested that their livelihood is affected.'

Because single cab driver is a suspect 1000 of them have been penalised.

Being the union leader, now I'm looked upon as a villain.

Hey! Break your speed.

Like the repetitive 'Breaking news' on TV, don't tear my brains apart.

I've sent for Gautam police officer in charge.

I'll settle your problem right in front of him.

Just be quiet without letting your tongue run.

- Come in, brother. - Yes, sir.

So you're Gautam?

Oh! You're smart.

I sit here quietly though I'm a minister.

And you take decisions right, left and centre.

What am I here for, to manicure my nails?

Decisions are made depending on the situation.

Bull! You're the ones creating the situation.

If 1 cop takes a bribe and we blame the entire department..

..will you accept it?

Didn't I tell you to break your speed?

I'll check his speed you wait outside.

No, sir.

- Go..! - Okay, sir.

Gautam, how many men like you I'd have met in my tenure?

Whatever you may say your pace is wrong.

I didn't take any decision without giving it ample thought, sir

Somehow wanting to stop yet another murder is..

As if we don't know this.

Brother, to curb the population..

..chopping heads alone is not the solution.

They should not feel the pain and we should gain.

Only then people will vote favourably for us.

That's why I'm on top and you work for me.

Call for a Press meet and withdraw your comments.

This is my order as Home minister.

Due to erroneous conclusions in our investigation..

..we had reported that a cab driver is the psycho killer.

However this is not true.

So the general public can travel by cab without fear.

Due to my previous wrong information..

..I apologize to all cab drivers.

I reiterate that cabs can be used by the public in utmost safety.

You expect me to obey you but you won't listen to me?

If you did, why would we be like this?

What should I listen to?

What's lacking for you here now?

Your sister in law is yelling at your brother for spending too much.

Even if she doesn't tell me..

..I know she's hinting at my medical expenses.

Don't think I'm harping about it why don't you get married again?

Your wife Lalitha's time on earth was over.

How will we know who will die when?

Death is only in our hands, mother.

What do you mean?

Aren't you earning a lot as a cab driver?

I've kept sweet balls for you in your car.

Don't forget to eat it.

Okay, mother.

Why is there blood stains on a rod in your car?

When I was changing a flat tyre, I got hurt.

Are you fine now?

Very much.

Nidhi, why are you going back to square one after planning everything?

Tell me, do you trust me or not?

Don't you know how much I trust you, Ajith?

With that in mind, come now I'll wait for you at Cinemax.

Take a cab.

But don't you keep insisting not to take a cab?

Police have already attested it is wrong information.

It's all clear now. Come.

Okay, I'll come.

Sir, he's Ajith.

His friend Nidhi has been missing from last night.

We were to get married today.

Her name is Nidhi.

This is her photo.

Her parents didn't agree to our marriage.

So we planned to marry without their knowledge.

At 8:00 p.m, we were to meet at Cinemax.

But she never turned up.

She didn't answer my calls.

So I thought there was some problem at home.

I waited there the whole night.

But in the morning a common friend called..

..and said her family is also searching for her.

Then I knew something untoward has happened on the way last night.

When did you last see her?

We spoke at 7:30 p.m.

I was supposed to meet her at 8:00 p.m.

I asked her to take a cab.

Sir, you got this through a courier.

Hello.

What?

Do whatever you want.

Okay, do this.

Haven't you given her photo to us?

I'll call you after investigating it.

I'm talking to you.

Take him outside.

We'll inform you.

Gautam, under no circumstances should you inform the press or media.

This is mere publicity.

Mother, I'm getting late is breakfast ready?

Hello.

What?

Uploaded in YouTube?

Yes, Shailaja ma'am.

He got angry we didn't inform the media about the parcel he sent.

So he uploaded the entire gruesome act online.

'A human beast has stooped to such a degrading level.'

'For the 1st time in Indian crime history.'

'Barbarically chopping a girl's head and uploading it as a video online..'

'I'm choked beyond speech.'

'Those who viewed the video are totally panic stricken.'

After viewing Nidhi's video..

..Ajith felt guilty having asked her to take a cab.

He committed suicide.

Oh God!

I assured the public of no danger what should I do then?

My reasons may have been many.

But I hold myself responsible for Ajith and Nidhi dying.

When this killer is scot free, people are wondering what the police force is doing.

As Home Minister what do you have to say?

I cut this.

Cut means?

I oppose this strongly.

Will these murders stop because of your opposition?

When an animal escapes from the zoo..

..you keep trying to catch it until you succeed.

When this human beast is killing girls uploading videos and scaring the public..

..all you're doing is 'oppose'?

Look, dear.

When you have to break the speed, you must oppose.

Only then speed will lessen.

Not just slow down you have to stop it 100%.

Families are scared of their girls going to school, college and office.

What steps are you taking is my question?

People won't have the kind of security your family has, right?

Stop.

Don't speed up!

My family is not just one.

This entire state is my family.

All voters are part of my family.

For all the ruthless murders I don't just feel bad.

I'm extremely traumatized.

I have a grown up grand daughter too.

'Video uploaded on the internet has shocked the entire nation.'

'College students protested against the inefficiency of the police department.'

'Day by day, viewership of the video multiplied manifold.'

'So the Home minister ordered the deletion of the video.'

'Home Minister warned Inspector Gautam to nab the killer as soon as possible.'

'Despite excessive online traffic in internet centers, police claim..'

'..they are doing their best to nab the killer against all odds.'

'They are reiterating what they've been saying from day one.'

'At this juncture, opposition leader Kanakam Raju has demanded..'

'..the resignation of Home minister Harish Reddy for failing in his duty.'

Forget the fact people are scared to step out because of the killer.

I'm myself worried to face the wrath of the public.

When that psycho killer is on a killing spree of girls randomly..

..looks like I gave him the knife and asked him to kill them.

This how the media is targeting me.

They want me to resign?

What were you doing for matters to take such an ugly turn?

Sir, because you wield the power don't talk as you please.

You made me withdraw my statement, when..

..I told you the killer could be a cab driver.

You passed orders not to interfere in the cab drivers' issue.

If you hadn't tied my hands then this murder wouldn't have taken place.

You are the reason for today's situation.

Hello?

What happened?

Tell me what happened.

What?

'Home Minister Harish Reddy's grand daughter was kidnapped while jogging in the park.'

'She was killed like the other victims by the psycho killer in a gruesome manner.'

'Those who maligned the Home minister for his inefficiency empathize with him now.'

'No one knows how much lower this psycho killer will stoop.'

Rather than nab the killer, to prevent girls from being killed..

..is the main point of this Press meet.

Listen carefully to what I have to say.

Ladies should not step out after 7:00 p.m within the city.

It's not a request.

It's a warning.

I'm repeating this.

Girls, listen to me.

Please don't step out of the house at night.

'After Mr. Gautam and Shailaja's statement night life in the city is at a standstill.'

'Not just ladies.'

'There is a general fear to step out at night.'

'Restaurants and hotels are empty.'

'Corporate offices in Hi tech city, Madhapur, Jubilee hills..'

'..have cancelled their night shifts'

'The human beast can't escape the vigilance of the police now..'

'...assures repeatedly Gautam, task force chief officer.'

'As per Ms. Shailaja's request to prevent another murder..'

'..to ensure all girls take precautionary measures.'

'..is our responsibility'

'Instead of blaming the police when the inevitable happens..'

'..it is better to avoid the danger and cooperate with the police.'

'Let us do our best to assist the beast being caught.'

'Remember not to go out alone at night whatever the need maybe.'

Why are you pacing up and down?

They are repeatedly warning girls on TV not to go out alone after 7:00 p.m.

But our daughter left at 6:00 p.m, so why worry?

It means girls should be back home by 7:00 p.m.

- Hello, dad. - Where are you, dear?

I'm in a cab.

Cab?

Don't get tensed, dad my friend's brother's cab.

Sathish's car?

Give the phone to him.

Hello, uncle. How are you?

What a stupid question!

I'm reacting the way a dad will if his daughter is alone in a cab now!

Where are you?

We are going to watch a psycho killer film.

- Will you join us? - No, you carry on.

We see enough news on TV about a psycho!

Sathish, make sure you drop her back home after the movie.

- Understood? - Okay, uncle.

How far have you progressed in your investigation, sister?

Going on.

I got a doubt.

Why does that killer strike only at night?

Did movies teach him, night ambience is more effective than daytime?

I don't know.

How will you not know? You hold a Ph.D in psycho killers.

He might think he can get away with it, less people and darkness.

Wait.

- Where are you going? - 302.

- You? - Plumber.

Okay, go.

Because we restricted girls from going out at night..

..he has now resorted to killing during the day.

Gautam, the watchman here is good at sketching.

He says he'll sketch the faces as much as he can remember.

'Who is the killer? What is his motive?'

'What is the public opinion of him?'

'People are puzzled by these questions.'

'What about law and order in our state if this killer continues his cruel act?'

'If an ordinary cab driver can make an entire city shake with fear..'

'..our security system is.'

Does it hurt?

You are good at your job.

You are beautiful too.

But I don't like both qualities.

Isn't that why you got away maligning me on TV?

You spoke as you pleased!

'Including Swathi, Vineetha, Pooja..'

'..in the past week, adding Rajini and Nidhi the murder count is 17.'

'How much longer will this killer be roaming around free?'

'When will these monstrous acts end?'

Whatever you want to know..

..ask me now.

Water.

I'm thirsty.

You've killed so many girls in the most horrifying way.

It's a waste of time to even ask if you are humane?

What do you want?

In what way did they harm you?

Why did you kill them in such dreadful ways?

Are you interviewing me?

Asha ma'am, when I was just 12 years old..

..I saw a dead body for the 1st time in my life.

It was a body of a girl.

When I was 16, I saw my best friend Sunitha's body floating in the water.

When I was 23, I saw Pramila, my neighbour's wife..

..lying dead in her bathroom.

I was fond of all of them.

Reason I killed them..

..I loved to see them dead more than being alive.

I love killing the people I love.

Asha ma'am.

When I saw you on TV your expressive face..

..and the intensity of your words.

..made me like you even more.

You want to kill me just go ahead.

I'd rather die than live in a world with beasts like you.

Kill me.

What are you waiting for?

Kill me.

Before I die..

..can I talk to my mother once?

My phone is in the cab.

Mother?

No, I'm not fine.

You'll know only later what happened to me.

Listen to me carefully.

I don't have much time.

Uncle Viswanath has the money for brother to go to USA.

I told you I have no time, mother.

Ask brother to meet him.

Reporter Asha has been killed I just saw the news on TV.

Yes, Sathya.

Last call on Asha's mobile was to her mother.

- What phone did she use? - Samsung.

Contact the company immediately and collect the details of the call.

Call Samsung company and get the IMEI number.

Pin point the location with the help of GPS setting.

Chetan, get the team ready.

He made the mistake I've been expecting him to make for so long

Got you, rascal!

Remember, we should somehow get him alive.

Aren't you the one who has killed 27 girls in the city in the recent past?

37.

37?

You'll also get to find the other dead bodies someday soon.

Are you trying to brag?

Gautam!

Not bragging.

I love killing girls.

That's what I meant.

Do you kill for pleasure?

Don't we kill a chicken because it adds taste to our gravy?

Didn't that chick have a life?

From their childhood some people take a fancy to some things.

Sachin Tendulkar likes cricket.

I like to kill.

Rascal!

Gautam!

Gautma, stop it!

Tell me.

You like to kill, tell me!

Gautam, stop it.

What do you gain by killing girls?

I've watched your interviews on TV.

Though you are an expert with psycho killers like me..

..why do you ask me such a silly question?

Let me indulge you and answer.

I get immense pleasure.

When I chopped Swathi to pieces

When I cut Pooja's throat.

Right into Asha's head..

..when I hammered a nail.

You bloody..

Go back!

Chetan, that side.

Chetan.

Guna.

Chetan, call the ambulance.

'Psycho killer was almost caught.'

'But he escaped killing two Crime branch officers'

'Finding clues to aid the case, in the house of the psycho killer..'

'..his mother was taken into police custody for questioning.'

We know you are his mother.

Aren't you ashamed protecting such a beast?

You're a mother of two sons.

Think of the mothers who lost their daughters..

..to your son's monstrosity?

I don't know anything.

Look at these pictures. He killed these girls.

Why are you turning your head away?

You hate looking at bodies without their heads?

Your son killed them. Your beloved son.

Open your eyes wide and see.

Please don't cover up for your son.

If you give us the right information about your son..

..we can prevent another disturbing death.

By withholding the facts, don't be instrumental in another girl dying.

Tell me.

Tell me, god damn it!

If you can shed tears as the killer's mother..

..think of the mindset of mothers of the innocent victims.

And the plight of the mothers of girls he will continue to kill.

Every moment you delay will cause another girl to die.

For heaven's sake tell us now.

When he was 10, cattle and poultry in our shed were dying.

I thought someone was killing them for food.

I had no clue what was happening.

But one day..

..I saw him kill our pet dog.

How did he kill it?

He stood behind the dog and stabbed it with a knife.

When I asked him why..

..he said, watching them die gives him immense pleasure.

After that he moved to a separate house.

When I asked him how he got this house..

..he just smiled weirdly.

He killed the old couple who owned it, buried them and occupied it himself.

We now know who and where the killer is.

It's a matter of hours before we catch him.

Besides TV and internet..

..his photo has been distributed in remote areas of the city.

Through the media we will be communicating to the public.

We request you to contact us if you have any leads on the killer.

You won't be hassled by him hereafter, I assure you.

Just a second.

Sathya, I'll call you..

Before you protect the city try and save your wife!

Please, let go of me.

I killed many for my pleasure alone.

But for the 1st time I intend killing to avenge my enemy.

Not even my own mother has hit me even once.

But your husband hit me brutally.

I'll now torture and kill you in the most cruel manner.

Let go of me.

If he hears your screams of anguish while I torture you..

..through this dictaphone.

..I'll visualize the pain on his face and I'll smile.

Hey Gautam!

I'm wondering which part of Sathya's body I can chop first.

'Listen'

- Take your hands off. - Let go of me, please.

Gautam!

'When he couldn't save his own wife how can he protect our city?'

'The Police department has never failed so drastically in the city's crime history.'

'Home minister intends discharging Gautam..'

'..of his duties and bringing in the CBI into this case'

'People are grouped together, absenting themselves from school, college and work.'

'All faces mirror fear and anger.'

Hello.

I spared you for so long..

..so that you'll torment yourself about your wife's death.

Now I'll kill you calm and refreshed.

You and she ganged up to finish me off, right?

Now I'll torture her in the most horrifying way.

Track the call in my 2nd number.

- Track it. - Hey, Gautam.

I challenge you to identify her body after I kill her.

I'm on my way.

Call the control room urgently.

Send for the action team to the spot.

Shailaja madam, though I am a psycho killer..

..I know nothing about other such killers.

After your interviews on TV and the dailies..

..I began to understand step by step about this.

But you asked people to look at me as a beast or mentally ill patient.

I was a little hurt hearing you say so.

But you educated me.

I thank you for that.

I wanted to gift you something.

When you spoke about Gary Ridgway who killed 80 girls..

..I felt a little jealous.

Don't kill me.

After knowing about killers like Gary, Ted Bundy from you..

..I wanted to be famous too.

More famous than them.

Who knows?

I can become famous even in the USA.

This will be a demo for you practically.

If you have any doubts feel free to clarify.

Sitaram!

Murdering people isn't the same as how you killed your pet dog.

What did you say?

I meant the dog you killed in your backyard.

How do you know?

I was there when you stabbed it.

When you pushed your classmate into the well, I was right there.

I was there when you killed your neighbour's wife.

When you killed your wife Padmini..

..I was there.

How do you know all this?

How? Tell me.

Are you a ghost? Or God?

Both.

If you don't let go of Vanaja and me.

How will I let go of you?

Gautam!

Don't kill him.

Not kill him?

Are you in your senses?

If I had more time before the arrival of my team..

..I'd have tortured him to a slow death second by second.

But I don't have time now So I'll kill him right away.

Recollect the fear all the girls would've felt when you killed them.

I want to see the rush of fear when the knife's edge scrapes your neck.

Remind yourself.

Gautam! I understand your feelings.

But you have to understand..

..if he's alive, demons like him and their behavior can be studied.

We'll have that wonderful opportunity.

If you kill him your sense of revenge may lessen.

But you'll lose your responsibility of a police officer in our society.

Please, Gautam.

Listen to me.

Don't kill him.

Take him out.

Untie her.
