All language subtitles for Anukshanam

'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.
