Hey...hold on, I'll help you Aunt.

- Which one is it? - This one, son

Here it.

Thank you so much.

Chetta, this is mine.

- Yeah...Mom! - Have you arrived?

Yes, I've arrived.

How long will it take you to reach here?

It will take around 2 to 2.30 hours.

Have Smitha and her husband come there?

- Yeah Smitha has come. - Hmm.

- Has brother arrived? - Yeah.

Sunoj has to attend a meeting. He'll be here after winding it up.

Ok.

How about the preparations there? Is everything ready?

Yeah, everything is ready.

Everybody is at the pavilion, eagerly waiting for your arrival.

- Shall I hand over the phone to them? - Yeah, sure give it.

- Manoj... - Yeah.

- Manoj... - What's it Mom?

- Jayesh is on the line. - Is it Jayesh?

- He has arrived. - Yes.

Don't keep it there

- Jayesh...! - Hmm.

- Have you arrived? - Yes, I've arrived.

- Are you all sloshed? - We are all sober now.

Didn't you promise to get some stuff, I mean Scotch?

We are anxiously waiting to booze on that.

Then Sabatti and Sudhish are also here.

- Hey I've arranged for arrack here. - Oh...!!

Yeah I don't wish to spoil my taste buds after having that. So I've kept it aside.

You better hurry up.

Manojetta, just be patient. Let me reach there.

Ok, man.

- Oh...Aunt Janu. - (Counting months)

Hey, I've received a call from the airport.

- Has the flight crashed? - Oh my God!

He has arrived.

He'll be here before we light the evening lamp.

I'm on medications.

Then better light the lamp earlier, so he'll arrive early.

Oh...this lunatic geezer!

- He isn't aware of what he is talking. - (Continues counting months)

Yeah!

Hey, you buffalo!

I am sorry. I'm on a call.

Dear, I've told you numerous times not to cook the buffalo meat in the oven.

It will get hard as rubber.

After all the oven was invented by the British.

What will they know about our traditional beef fry?

Dear, the Puthanthodu bridge is under repair.

The road that way has been blocked.

I'll come via Pallikunnu.

Yeah it's a longer route.

I'll call you after getting out.

Sir...

...the one-side road from Puthanthodu bridge...

...has reopened for traffic since yesterday.

Is it?

Oh thanks, I'm grateful.

That saves me one litre of fuel.

Is your house in that area?

Yeah...a bit ahead from there, near Pattupula.

Someone named Joseph Master lives there?

Yeah, Joseph Master's house is nearby.

How do you know Master?

- I was his student. - Oh...ok.

So, how are you going?

By a cab.

You can come with us.

My friends are waiting outside with the car.

Anyway I'm going that way.

- Let's travel together. - Huh...no.

When all of you are relishing together...I...

Won't it be fun?

Come, let's travel together. Come on.

- Will you be comfortable? - Yeah.

Just a minute.

From where are you coming now? From Dubai?

- I'm from UK - Hmm.

I had gone there regarding my son's admission.

Ok

I got caught up there for a month.

Hey get ready with the car.

- How long have you been in Dubai? - Not many years.

Where are you?

- We are at the arrival. - Ok I'm coming.

Girija, we are about to leave. Get everything ready.

Brother!

How many days gone since we met?

I really missed you.

He will accompany us till Puthiyakavu.

I got acquainted with him here.

- Load his bags in the car. - Ok...ok.

Hello.

You are Achayan's friend?

Jayesh... move in a bit.

Achayan, it seems that your entire bunch of buddies are here.

Yeah.

Without our gang we don't deal anything

Isn't it, Achaya?

How do you know my name?

Achayan mentioned it on the call.

I recollected it.

But I didn't tell Achayan my name as yet.

How could you manage, Achaya?

I noticed it when you gave your passport at the duty paid shop.

No...no. Pull over here. I'll get down.

- What happened Jayesh? - Didn't I tell you to pull over?

- Relax Jayesh. - Didn't I tell you?

Better be calm.

Be calm.

- Can't you hear me? - Keep calm man!!

- Keep quiet. - What's this, Achaya?

Isn't it handcuffs?

Jayesh, we are from the Crime Branch.

Sir, what's the issue?

I'll let you know.

'NAALAM MURA' [The fourth degree]

Yes...yes pull over here.

Stop.

Stop man!

Hey, smash his head to a pulp.

We were waiting to get you all alone.

Hey...!

I'll finish you off today. Get up you...!

(Scuffle voices)

Hey...hey! Catch hold of him.

Hey you!

Hey, there come the cops. Run, run away!

Quick, be quick!

Get on fast.

- Come on start the bike. - Get on you crap!

Just get going.

- Come fast. - Come on leave.

I said leave!

Come on leave.

Yeah, speak up Davis.

Sir, the boys you interrogated in the other case...

...we have charged a case against them for a brawl.

I'll stall them here if you have any further interrogation.

Not necessary, Davis.

We can summon them at any time.

But warn them not to leave the jurisdiction of the station.

Ok Sir.

Hey...Crime Branch has got a solid intimation in your past case.

There's a possibility that many present here may get trapped in it.

So...

...we won't demean your value by arresting you for such petty scuffles.

Don't you have to show your faces in the television?

Until then, it would be better if you refrain from quarreling and killing each other.

You can leave for now.

- Hey...hey you. - Take them along.

- Hey, take this mobile. - Yeah.

This mobile itself contains facts to charge tonnes of cases against you.

Here.

Then one more thing.

You have to show up here daily to sign, without fail.

- Did you get me? - Yes ok.

You can leave.

'KEERIKKARA POLICE STATION'

Sir, do they really have any intimation?

If you ask me, this is the 3rd team from the Crime Branch investigating this case.

The previous 2 teams said the same thing.

We've got intimation.

It's exactly the same like what we said initially while investigating this case.

We have got intimation, we have got intimation.

'There comes the James Bond!'

Sir!

- Is this the man? - Oh I see.

- Oh...Sir. - Hmm.

Sir, this place is under our custody, but I...

...heard that there are people still visiting here.

We haven't come to stay here.

- We'll leave the place after a while. - That's right.

- Keep a watch if someone is coming. - Ok, Sir.

Is this a rocket launch site, that I have to keep a watch?

Yes dear.

- Where have you reached? - I've just reached here from the airport.

Then?

Anyway I'll be late to get back home.

She is fuming in anger here. You better come fast.

Sir, this way.

- Girija, switch on the lights. - Ok Sir.

Hey, be careful.

I don't think I can reach on time today also.

You somehow convince her and take her along.

I'll be there.

Sir, why are we here?

Just walk man.

Come.

She won't budge if I tell her. Chettan, you should talk to her.

- Here. - Hmm.

Hello Dad.

Dear...I'll be late by the time I reach over there.

What to do?

No worries Dad. I'll wait till you come.

All of us will go together after you come.

No, that's not possible.

Dear, Dad has come here to nab a thief.

I'll nab him and come soon.

We can nab the thief tomorrow also.

Didn't we postpone the Arangettam (ascending the stage) for today for your convenience?

Dad will come, dear. I'll somehow manage to reach.

- You go on happily. - Hmm ok.

I'll call you later. Bye.

Have a seat Jayesh.

How's the ambience?

Sir, I haven't understood as of yet, why have you nabbed and brought me here.

Is it because you didn't understand or you're trying to play the fool with us?

We scooped you up from the airport and refrained from questioning you...

...till we reached here thinking that you might have figured out everything.

But if you are adamant on vexing us...

...let's go on like that. Isn't it? - Hmm.

Oops Sir, that wasn't my intention in asking you.

Honestly, it's because I really don't know the reason why you've nabbed me.

Listen...

As soon as you landed from Dubai...

...if we had to scoop you right from the airport, won't there be a solid reason?

For now, that's all you need to know.

Sir, that's what I too can't understand.

There is no reason for you people to nab me.

Have you mistaken me for the wrong man?

Last week, you were extremely engaged work-wise at Dubai, right?

Yes, sir.

Due to the financial situation at home...

...for some time, I work for additional hours.

Last night, I didn't sleep a wink.

Sir, how did you get to know about this?

Jayesh...not only this...

...we have information about all your details.

Firstly, let me tell you something.

You have committed a crime.

You are well aware of it, so are we.

If you conclude the matter elucidating everything...

...we can conclude rest of the matters accordingly.

Or else...

...you will have to face the consequences.

Sir, your questioning is based on some misunderstanding.

Sir, I'm not a perpetrator, as you may think.

You can enquire at my hometown.

Did I say that you are a criminal?

I didn't even mention that you have a criminal background. Did I?

Sir...

...I said it because you mentioned that I have committed some crime.

Ok then, shall I ask you something?

Answer it precisely.

And don't just beat around the bush.

At present, we are in a position to help you to a certain limit.

Or else...

...things will go awry.

Jayesh, is there anyone who hasn't transgressed?

Sir, you may ask.

Jayesh...

...have you been involved in some case at your hometown?

Or have you committed any crime?

We are well aware of the matters.

That's the reason we are questioning you repeatedly.

Sir, nothing as you've assumed has occurred.

Hey, don't be afraid.

We'll help you as much as we can.

Sir's the DySP of Crime Branch.

The proceedings that ensue further will be in accordance to his words.

I'll do all what I can do on my part.

If you cooperate with us.

An...

An accident case had occurred, Sir.

Is it?

What do you mean? Clarify it.

One day, when I was on my way back home from my job...

...a bike rammed into my jeep.

Then?

The man who rode the bike passed away.

The pillion rider was severely injured.

Who was at fault?

If you ask me like that...

...they were at breakneck speed.

Oh...! So you are already an accused in a murder case?

Sir, he died because he was hit by the vehicle.

It's not that I killed him.

Didn't he die because your vehicle hit him?

So on some level, isn't it a murder, Jayesh?

Am I right?

Didn't the police arrest you?

Sir, at the time of the accident, I had...

...a few drinks, so I sped away.

Then how were you pinned down?

An incident occurred after that.

I had gone to the hospital to visit my friend who had broken his leg.

Let's stop the treatment here for now.

I have no money left to treat your brother.

Did you get me?

I have only married you.

I can't bear the entire expenses of your family.

Hello!

Now...

Hey...maintain silence.

Buzz off lady!

If you are short of money, go live on social media seeking medical aid.

You will get lots of money.

If you can't do that, go dump him home.

Hey, start the vehicle.

There I met a girl who was my classmate.

Did you recognise me?

Are you, Jayesh?

I thought you won't recognise me.

Why are you here?

My younger brother met with an accident and underwent an operation.

What accident?

It was a bike accident.

When he and his colleague were riding the bike...

...a jeep rammed into them.

Where was it?

Do you know the Ulhas curve?

It happened there.

The man who rode the bike passed away before reaching the hospital.

My brother's spine is severely injured.

He is not able to walk.

Only if I treat him at any specialist hospital, will he be able to walk.

Who was that man who created a ruckus here?

That was my husband.

A huge amount has been spent for my brother's treatment till now.

Since there are least chances of getting the medical insurance...

...he said that he won't spare a single penny further.

What does your husband do?

Previously he was into contract business.

After that failed, he's roving...

...in the pretext of real estate and pre-owned car business.

Why can't you claim for the medical insurance?

Police told us that if we can track the vehicle that hit,

then only can we claim the insurance.

Where can I get that from?

The accident took place at night.

There are no witnesses for the same.

Don't worry. I have a lawyer familiar to me.

Let me just discuss this with him.

There will be some solution.

Anyway, just give me your number. I'll call you.

Here.

- Ok. - Hmm.

As soon as she said that the accident took place at night at Ulhas curve...

...I realised that

...it was the accident caused by my jeep.

Due to prick of conscience...

...I couldn't even sleep peacefully.

I met a lawyer and narrated the entire incident to him.

He said that I would be charged with unintentional homicide.

He promised to safeguard me.

So...

...I went to the hospital again to meet her and disclose the matter.

Jayesh, what are you saying?

I swear it wasn't my mistake.

They came in from the wrong side and rammed into my jeep.

Anyway I met a lawyer and narrated all this to him.

I will give the statement at the police station too.

You will surely get the medical insurance now.

Don't worry.

Who is that?

Is he a shadow police?

Who was he? Huh?

He said that it was his jeep that rammed into my brother's bike.

That scumbag?!

Hey look around before hitting him.

Hey...

What's the problem?

- You almost killed my brother in law. - I didn't do anything.

- He came from the wrong side. - Now you are strutting around here, you dog.

I'll kill you.

What are you doing? Leave him.

- I said get away. - You pig!

- Move away. What are you doing? - I'll cut you to pieces.

- Leave me man. - Stop it, Achaya.

My shirt will get creased. Leave me.

I thought that even if I get thrashed a bit...

...her brother could survive if he got the medical insurance amount.

Oh that's great!

You are munificent!

Since how many years have you been in the Middle East?

Two years.

Don't you know that it's a crime to conceal a case and apply for a passport...

...to abscond to Dubai?

Sir, I consulted a lawyer before doing all this.

He had warned me that there were chances that I would be caught...

...by the police at the airport when I'm back.

So you were aware about it...

...that you would be ensnared at the airport, isn't it?

So have you nabbed me regarding this case?

If you ask like that...

We know everything regarding this case.

These are procedures to be done by the emigration wing.

(Mobile vibrating)

Madam is calling.

Jayaraj...

Where are you now?

Madam, we're at that non functional art gallery to maintain secrecy.

What's up? Did he confess?

We are in the process of questioning.

It's an illegal custody.

I have agreed to this only because I trust you.

But if he is not confessing don't hold him for long.

Leave him.

We'll send him a notice and summon him later.

- Ok, Madam. - Ok.

Jayesh...

...other than this accident case...

...you are also involved in another critical case.

If you are adamant not to reveal that to us...

...matters will get more convoluted.

Speak up, man.

Sir, I've committed a small mistake.

I didn't disclose it out of fear.

Since I didn't repay my housing loan...

...the bank sent me a notice.

Today is my house warming ceremony.

To repay that loan back, I have...

...smuggled some gold.

I agreed it is my mistake

But I did it due to my destitution.

And where is it?

It's in that trolley bag, Sir.

Renish, just get that bag.

- Help him. - Yeah.

- It's lock 000, right? - Yeah.

Open it.

Open it.

Take your seat.

Smart smuggling!

This is a bonus for us.

Did you understand, why's it so?

No, Sir.

- Jayesh... - Hmm.

that is...

When we enquire about a certain case, the man without revealing about that case...

...gives information about another case.

That's what we call bonus.

I get it, Sir.

For now, we won't charge a case on this bonus and pester you.

There is one more thing that you haven't revealed.

You should reveal that too.

Now what else is left, Sir?

We need not nab you for the accident and gold smuggling cases, that you've mentioned.

There are others designated for that.

But you are involved in a case that holds a greater gravity than those.

You can easily guess that.

Didn't you ponder about it now?

Yeah, that incident.

You should say it.

Huh...no, I didn't ponder about anything, Sir.

Renish, pass me a cigarette.

What jobs did you undertake at your hometown?

Sir, I was an electrician. But I do plumbing jobs too.

Do you own any vehicle?

I don't own any vehicle now, But previously I had a bike.

Which bike was it?

It was a Passion Pro (Bike brand)

I sold it before going to the Middle East.

So what about the jeep during that accident?

That belonged to my friend.

Oh!

Usually what attire do you wear, when you go out from home?

Is it shirt and dhoti?

No, I don't wear dhoti while going out.

I wear trousers and shirt.

Chappals or Slippers?

- I wear slippers. - What's your size?

Huh...9 inches.

Sir, why are you asking the size of my slippers?

Nothing, man.

Just enquired simply.

Did you get frightened?

Why should I get frightened when I'm asked the size of my slippers?

If you are not frightened, then there is no problem.

Has any case occurred near your house few months back?

Yeah, about a year ago there was a dispute among the townsfolk regarding a road...

...that lead to a small scuffle case.

The police had come to that site.

Not that Jayesh.

Have there been any controversial cases?

Just try to recall.

Then... a murder had taken place previously.

What murder? Was it something like a political murder?

No, it was a case where a lady was murdered.

Who was she?

She was a divorcee.

Her name was something like Suma.

- Was it next to your house? - No, not close by.

It was about 1 to 1.5 kms away.

Was she familiar to you?

No she wasn't familiar to me.

I've seen her while passing by that way.

Who killed her?

I don't know that, Sir.

There's a hearsay that it's a boy living close by.

But, he hasn't been arrested.

Who's that boy?

Akhil.

Akhil.

The lady who died had a son named Libeesh.

He is an unruly guy.

He was his friend.

Few days before that lady was murdered.

Is it needed?

Akhil's Dad had purchased a bike for him.

I've to earn some money and buy a bike.

I will be meeting the CM tomorrow.

- I'll hand it over directly? - Isn't that ok?

Hey, there are guys today too.

That's a daily routine.

- Mom, how's the bike? - Yeah, it's good, a nice one!

Wow! That's great Akhil!

- Hey come. - Oh...dude you're here!!

- Take a ride. - Mom, get on.

- No you carry on. - Come, come get on.

- Ok. - Be careful.

On the day of the incident, due to this bike...

...there was a tiff between them. - Hey, I want your bike?

- Where are you going? - Kuttikanam.

- To go till Kambam. - Yeah, yes Kambam.

- You just come here? - What's it?

- Hmm? - Just come.

- What happened? - Just come.

Tell me.

I've heard that he's the one who regularly...

...supplies the college students here with marijuana.

Discontinue your friendship with him.

Hey, it's not for that.

It's to discuss about another vehicle.

I can't lend my bike to such a far place.

And that too with him.

Oh!

Your father is earning perks from the townsfolk to buy you this bike and other gifts.

But it's not the same for me.

If I have to buy a bike, I've to earn it myself. Did you hear me?

- Hey, it's nothing like that. - Get lost man.

- Hey... - Leave me.

Hey come on.

- To hell with this guy! - Hey you!

Hey, get your hands off my bike!

- What's it, man? - What?

Hey Libeesh.

- What's it? - Come on.

Hey no need.

- Hey leave! - Buzz off!

- What's this, children? - Leave him.

Hey Akhil, stop it.

- Don't show off your father's money. - Just go away Mom.

- Hey Libeesh, you go home. - Don't abuse my Dad.

In that rancour...

...Akhil went there when no one was there and retributed for his insult.

There's no one left in the town who is unaware of this story.

Why has the police not arrested him as yet?

His father is considerably influential in politics.

That maybe the reason.

Did the police summon you regarding this case?

- They summoned me once. - What was it for?

Initially, Manojettan who lived near my house was allegedly accused in this case.

They summoned me to gather his details.

They recorded my statement and let me go.

Jayesh...

...the police have failed to arrest anyone yet in the Suma murder case.

But we are well informed of the accused.

Who's that, sir?

You.

What nonsense are you saying, Sir?

You mean I murdered her? Why should I do that?

You are the one who has to explain that.

I don't need to do that, Sir.

I have no acquaintance with her.

I don't even have a petty case on my name and you say that I've committed a murder?

Hey Jayesh...

...do we have any gain in snaring you if you're irrelevant to this case?

Huh? Just give it a thought.

I don't have to think over it, Sir.

I don't know anything about that murder.

It's a habitual custom of the cops to pin the blame of unresolved cases...

...on naive people like me.

Don't get into unwanted stuff.

I also have people to claim for my rights.

Hey you! How dare you try to threaten us?

Get up.

Remove your shirt.

I said remove your shirt!

Come on!

His arrogance! Damn it!

Remove it.

Remove that too.

Come on.

Should I explain further?

Remove your trousers. Be quick.

You...!

Come on, remove it.

Come on sit down.

Sit down.

Can I get some water?

Here, have it.

Jayesh, why are you being stubborn and wasting your time?

Their civility will change in a while.

Say all that you know.

I'll see that no one manhandles you.

Jayesh...

If you have any hesitation to tell us, you can talk to Renish, Sir.

We'll wait outside.

Renish, you can talk to each other.

- Don't make him tense - Hmm, ok Sir.

He may not be the culprit?

He doesn't seem to be a tough nut.

I have no doubts, Sir.

It's only him.

Sir, there seem to be no threads connecting him and that lady.

At least his contact number should be there in the call details.

So in my opinion there are least chances that it is him.

Don't assume that way Subair.

It's not yet time to expel him from the list of alleged suspects.

Few are like that.

They will have a malicious mind but a polite behaviour.

Anyways, let Renish interrogate. We'll wait and see.

Sir, let me break my fast.

Do you have any food to break your fast?

I'll call Girija to get it.

Let me go and offer my prayers.

Do you have a cigarette?

Sir, it's with Renish Sir.

Broker chetta, (matchmaker), what about that fair girl?

Which one?

- That tall girl with long hair. - They don't want alliances from cops.

Don't look at my present job status.

I've given the bank exams and I'm sure to clear it.

- Ok, then clear it first. - Oh my Mr. Bond!

- Yes, Sir. - Get some snacks.

Snacks? How many, Sir?

- It's for Subair, to break his fast. - Ok Sir, I'll get it.

Snacks and for them? And they expect me to buy it?

Let me order it online.

- Jayesh... - Hmm?

Why didn't you get married yet?

Sir, the financial condition at home is not yet better.

Is that the only reason?

Did you have a love failure or something of that sort?

I never had anything of that sort.

Seeing my appearance, who will fall in love with me?

I have had a crush on some girls.

But I never had the guts to make an advance.

- Jayesh. - Hmm?

Have you been to that Suma's house at any time?

For some electrical or plumbing job?

No, I have never been to her house, Sir.

In spite of being from the same town you have no acquaintance with her?

No, Sir. Then...

I used to watch her posts in the Instagram.

Oh so you have an Instagram account?

Oh! So does she post her snaps regularly on Instagram?

Suma Sreedharan...

...Suma Sandeep.

- 'Lonely Suma', Sir. - Huh?

'Lonely Suma'

Yeah 'Lonely Suma'!

Wow!

These are some awesome snaps!

You've also posted your comments for them.

"Avesham!" (Fervour)

Sir it's awesome.

I know it man.

They post such videos to get likes and comments from men like us.

These days social media is the only platform, where...

...we can comment fearlessly without getting beaten up. Don't you also do it, Sir?

You haven't done any chatting till date?

If men like me chat who will ever reply back, Sir?

You can check if you wish to.

For that, you should first start chatting by sending a 'Hi' or 'Hello'.

Only then will you know, whether you will receive a reply back.

Even if you didn't chat, you have sent comments on a regular basis.

- 'What a hottie!' - Sir, that's not me.

I don't do any deeds that degrade women.

You are right. That was some Jagadish.

It wasn't Jayesh.

Jayesh.

That day when that accident occurred...

...since you were sloshed

...you perfectly evaded from there.

That's your intellect.

Then you even tactfully dealt with the passport formalities.

That's your smartness.

Your intellect and smartness...

...have been precisely judged by all of us here.

Something similar to this...

...has been kept under wraps deep inside you very cleverly.

Just disclose that.

Nothing like that, Sir.

Beware, the game will turn tables!

I am trying to help you.

Did you get me? Come on speak up.

Sir, you can take that gold if you wish to.

Tell them to release me.

Jayesh...

...now the game is on!

Ok.

His phone is switched off.

It's past the time he was supposed to reach.

Don't get tensed Mom. Brother will come.

Mom he must me stuck in some traffic block.

Didn't he promise to call after leaving from the airport?

But now we can't even get him on the call.

Maybe his phone has no charge.

Mom, don't get tensed like this.

We'll do something.

I'll ask our MLA Johnychan to enquire at the airport.

Wasn't there a small issue when he applied for his passport then?

Oh my God, where's my son?

That's not a big issue. We'll get it checked.

Ok, then.

Someone is setting a net all around him.

Is he a horn shark, that a net has to be set all around to trap him?

Hey...

- Didn't you go to get the snacks? - Sir, I've ordered it online.

You fool, we are here on a secret mission.

Do you want the world to know it?

Cancel it soon and go and collect it.

Ok Sir, I'll go and collect it.

Damn it!

When will he flow with the tide?

Even kindergarten kids order food online.

- Hello. - Yes hello.

I'm the one who ordered food earlier.

- Where did you reach? - I am at the gate.

- You reached the gate? - Yes.

Do one thing. Go to the crossroad. I'll come there.

- Have you gone nuts? - Hey, just listen to what I say.

I won't budge. What will you do?

Shut up and obey me.

Go to hell. I'm leaving.

Aren't you afraid of the police, huh?

How dare these guys blatantly abuse the cops?

- Good evening, Sir. - Yeah Jayaraj.

Have you taken someone named Jayesh under custody?

No, Sir.

His mother met the MLA, and he had called me.

On enquiry I came to know that you and your team were at the airport today.

No Sir, we haven't nabbed anyone.

Ok, so you haven't done it.

- Ok, then Good night. - Good night, Sir.

Good evening, madam

Jayaraj, what's up?

Did he confess?

No, Madam.

He seems to be tougher nut to crack than we expected.

- Our team is interrogating him. - Oh.

I called you now to inform that SP Samuel Sir had called now.

He asked if we have nabbed anyone?

I said we haven't.

That's ok, I'll brief him.

But if Jayesh isn't confessing...

...holding him is risky.

So do one thing...

...leave him now. We'll issue a 41A and summon him legally.

If we release him now...

...he'll meet some advocate and come back well prepared.

That will make our interrogation tougher.

What are you upto, Jayaraj?

Please understand, his detention is illegal.

It can spark a breaking news anytime.

That will be followed by Human Rights Commission.

Hope you know it?

If an issue arises, there will be no Minister or DG to help us.

Do one thing.

Try for one more hour and then release him.

That is...

- Subair... - Sir.

SP Samuel Sir had called.

To enquire if we have nabbed Jayesh.

Some politician has intervened on his mother's request.

What did you say, sir?

I said we haven't nabbed anyone.

Won't that be an issue, sir?

No, I have informed Madam.

She will handle it.

But it's a risk to hold him longer.

We have to urgently take a decision on his regard.

Sir, here's the snacks.

What happened?

He is not complying.

- He has a bit of an inferiority complex. - I don't want.

There's a least possibility that a man like him will kill a lady like Suma.

Didn't I say earlier? This is the issue.

There's no possibility that it's him. That's my gut feeling.

Sir, don't be pessimistic.

Just a few punches and won't he sing like a canary?

Sir, leave him to me.

I'll make him open his mouth.

Hey Job...

Do you simply need to get into hot water for hitting him?

If something untoward happens to him, you and I will have to face legal proceedings.

- Job. - Sir.

We just have a few circumstantial evidences to prove that he is the culprit.

We have to be patient till he confesses to the crime on his own.

And as Subair said, if he's not the accused...

...we can't consider him as the convict till we prove the crime.

Sir, so do you infer that all our efforts till now will be futile?

Job... about 20 years ago...

...such a murder occurred at my hometown.

I was studying in school then.

Police summoned a 19 year old boy to the...

...station, thrashed him so as to solve the case.

But when they realised that he was innocent, they released him.

In that torment, that boy went home and hung himself on a cross beam.

That boy was my elder brother.

Let's forget that.

Let's interrogate him once again.

Come.

Jayesh...

...just leave behind all that happened till now.

At least say only the truth in the further interrogation.

Sir, I haven't lied till now.

Let's leave that.

Do you know someone called Thomas?

Which Thomas?

Mr.Thomas, the supervisor of the tea factory.

Yes, I know him.

Have you gone there for some work?

Yes, I have repaired the motor in his house once.

Have you given him a call for some need?

- No, Sir. - Just recall it, man.

I told you that I have repaired the motor in his house once.

So then perhaps I may have called him then.

Or else we haven't made any call to each other.

- Are you sure? - I'm sure, Sir.

- Look straight in the eye and say! - I'm sure, Sir.

Hey, wait!

Job, show him what Thomas told us.

I meant whatever you remember on the day Suma was murdered.

That means anything that raised a doubt.

Nothing special, Sir. I was at home that day.

Why didn't you go to the factory that day?

The motor at my home conked.

I had informed this matter to a boy familiar to me.

He said that he would look into it.

What was his name?

His name was Jayesh.

Then?

He said he would be there by 10 am, so I gave him a call.

He said that he would leave right away.

But he didn't turn up even after an hour.

Then I called him repeatedly, but he didn't pick up the call.

Then he came after 4-5 days and repaired that motor.

If you ask me, why I specifically remember this...

...I asked him

...why didn't you pick my call, when I called you that day?

So he made an excuse saying that he had to urgently go to Ernakulam city.

Sir, but I doubt his clarification. I have some mistrust.

Isn't Suma's house on the way to your house Thomas?

It's about half a kilometer away.

Did you hear what he said?

What do you have to say now?

Sir, I didn't promise him that I would come that day.

He is about 60 years old.

He's simply blabbering things without a proper memory.

He has asked me to check on the motor.

After that one day, he called me incessantly from morning onwards.

I didn't pick his call on purpose.

So, it's not like how he said it.

Why did you go to Cochin?

I went to buy some spare parts.

So...

...you mean to say that Thomas chettan has loss of memory, isn't it?

Yes Sir.

Ok, so let's assume that it's loss of memory.

Do you remember the colour of your bike?

It's black colour.

Do you have the picture of your bike in your mobile?

It may be there in my mobile.

Ok wear your dress.

Get up man.

Gopa, that was the bike that Jayesh used previously.

Do one more thing.

- Isn't Habib with you? - Yes.

- Habib Sir is with me. - Pass the phone to Habib.

Yes, I'll give.

Yes, Sir.

Yeah Habib.

You should immediately show the bike's picture...

...I sent you to newspaper man Surendran.

Yes, sir.

You should ask him if it was the same bike he saw there?

Then...

Download a Yamaha FZ and Pulsar bike snap and show him all these 3 snaps.

Don't show him the snap of only Jayesh's bike. Did you get me?

Ok Sir. We'll go right away.

Ok then.

Sir since I had to work yesterday, I couldn't get a sound sleep.

I am drained completely.

Can I have a nap for ten minutes?

Hey...

...the prey and the predator experience the same gasp of breath.

You should understand that well.

Sir...(mockingly)

...he wants to sleep.

Is it?

Let's do one thing.

- Job. - Yes, sir.

Take that laptop and show him what Kavita said.

Ok Sir.

Let him lose all his sleep.

Carry on.

Come on, man.

Don't fear. Speak boldly.

- What if nurses like you start fearing? - No Sir, I'm not frightened.

So, then narrate what you saw that day boldly.

After my duty for the day, I got down from the bus and was walking back home.

What was the approximate time then?

It was about 1:30 pm.

Then?

Then, when I was walking back home...

...I turned to look behind since I heard the sound of a bike.

Then I saw a man leaving from Suma chechi's house on a bike.

Then I too walked back home.

Which was the bike you saw there?

If you ask me...

...it was like my brother in law's bike - a Hero Honda Splendour.

It looked somewhat like that.

Do you remember the colour?

If I remember well it was a black one.

Isn't a boy next to your house a suspect in this case?

- Was that man like him? - Who, like Akhil?

No, he was much older than Akhil.

So, what was his approximate age?

Approximately 38-40 years old.

Do you remember how he was dressed?

I think he wore a trouser and shirt.

Did you hear the description she said of that man there?

Do you have anything to say?

What should I say, Sir?

After all a murder took place at that house.

So, someone must have come there.

But no one has specifically explained who that man was.

Hey Jayesh...

...when that girl said, that the man there was like you we understood it well

The bike she saw was almost like your bike.

Did you understand?

She saw some man leaving from there.

(Yawning)

Sorry!

But she didn't say that it was me.

Why should I simply be the scapegoat for something I'm not aware of?

Thomas chettan has loss of memory.

And Kavita has no eyesight. Isn't it?

If anyone just talks gibberish things...

...should I accept a crime I haven't committed?

Dear Sir, I haven't done it.

Hey don't agree to something that you haven't done.

Just agree to what you have done.

Come on speak up.

- Renish... - Yes.

What do we eat for dinner?

Let's order porotta (Indian bread) and chicken curry.

What do you want?

I don't want anything, Sir. Just allow me to go from here.

Anyways, you are our guest.

You haven't eaten anything till now.

Renish, order a mutton biriyani for him.

- Then, tell him to go and collect it. - Ok, Sir.

Hey, do you have that driver Nawaz's number with you?

Nawaz's number...?

There are less chances for that.

No.

- Ok then read Nawaz's statement. - Ok, Sir.

'The day Suma chechi was killed.'

'It was the time when I was on a trip to the Panchayat...

...office and I reached in front of Suma chechi's house.'

'I saw a man standing there talking to Suma Chechi.'

'If I remember well, he was wearing trousers and shirt.'

'The time then was about 11 am.'

'I don't know who the murderer is.'

'But I doubt the man whom I saw in the morning talking to Suma Chechi.'

Jayesh.

Is Nawaz's doubt in this case right or wrong?

Sir, each and every one has a different doubt.

Some may be right and some be wrong.

You are the ones who have to resolve that.

You're right.

We police are not like the laymen.

We are far more suspicious.

That's the reason we are interrogating you incessantly.

And now you seem to be more suspicious than us.

Why is that?

- What's it, Gopa? - Sir, can you see me?

One minute

Sir we are now at a temple near newspaper man Surendran's house.

As you said we showed him the snaps of the 3 bikes.

Then?

He said it was a bike like the Passion Pro.

He is here. I'll give it to him.

Sir is on the line. Talk to him.

Greetings, Sir.

Didn't you say that you saw a bike there on the day of the murder?

Hmm...hmm.

Just specify that more clearly.

Suma had to pay me the newspaper bill.

I went there to collect it.

When I reached there, I rang the calling bell 3-4 times.

But there was no response.

The door was closed.

That's when I noticed a bike there.

Then there were a pair of slippers near the doorstep.

It was a men's footwear.

Then?

Since we are village men, I had a small doubt. Did you get me?

I tried to look around.

But I didn't see any movement.

Then, I came back home.

Didn't you mention about those slippers?

What type of slippers were they?

It had a strap behind.

It's the one with Velcro that men usually wear.

Then did you find something peculiar in the bike there?

That was a black colour bike.

Like the bike Gopan Sir showed me now.

It was almost like that.

Sir, you should somehow nab this culprit.

We townsfolk are having a tough time due to these policemen.

I...went there at that time to collect the newspaper bill.

That's why I am also a suspect.

Sir, you should nab him at any cost.

- We know the accused well. - Ok, Sir.

Newspaper man Surendran saw a back strapped slipper and a black Passion Pro bike.

As we seek to emancipate you from this, you seem to be apparently involved.

Why is that, Sir?

Dear boy...

Do you know what clever people do when they realise they are trapped?

They say the truth and get away.

You don't try to be too obdurate.

How can you say...

...that I'm trapped?

So many men in the town have a black bike and back strap slippers.

Just because I too have them, should I shoulder the blame for this murder?

No need of that.

Only if it's weighing heavy on you should you be afraid.

If it isn't weighing heavy, you need not be afraid.

And if it's weighing heavy...

Sir, here's the food.

Bring it here.

What do we have?

Porotta and mutton biriyani.

No, that won't work.

Let me check.

I'll call you back, dear.

- Aren't you eating? - I've got it. I'll eat later.

What's the problem if you eat with us?

No Sir, I'll eat outside...

Have it, man.

Take your seat.

I'll call you back later.

Greetings, Sir.

Place a picket post immediately at the site where the fire broke out.

Ok?

Or else that will turn out to be a communal violence.

Call me back immediately, if you want additional force.

Ok?

What's happening SP, Sir?

Is the enquiry so stagnant just because I gave you a call...

...and didn't come in person?

Sir, who told you that we aren't enquiring?

Then, where's the man?

A man arrived at the airport.

That man who landed from the flight goes missing suddenly.

I feel...

...you aren't taking it as seriously as we do.

Now if your complaint is that I passed this message on a call...

...I'll give it in written.

Sinoj, give it.

Here it is.

Sir, I had called the airport and done a detailed investigation.

He landed here and on his own will...

...went in someone else's car. We have the CCTV footage suggesting it.

At present we are enquiring the whereabouts of the men with whom he went.

So you have spotted him in the CCTV.

Those along with him have also been spotted.

Now where's the man?

Sir, my experience says...

...a man lands at the airport.

He then goes in someone else's car.

Then he goes missing.

This seems to be a typical gold smuggling racket.

He must have gone to hand over the stuff he brought with him.

Or...

...he must have bumped into some men who loot smuggled gold.

Oh my!!

Then...

...by the time the enquiry reaches a conclusion...

...once the journalists figure out that he's an accused in a gold smuggling racket

...they'll grab the news and celebrate it.

Do we need to go to that extent?

Sir, are you intimidating me?

I am the MLA of the people.

People from various quarters in my constituency will come to meet me.

I'm not a coward who will safeguard my image fearing the journalists.

And I don't intend to remain as an MLA all my life.

What's the point in investigating after...

...something untoward happens to the missing person?

Sir, if you can't investigate this in a proper way...

...let me look for your senior official who can do this job.

Sinoj...

- Yes, Johnycha. - Just leave it and come.

Sir...

...he's not that sort of an individual.

Sir, he has no connections with those type of men.

It was just a passing reference.

I didn't intend to say that Jayesh is that sort of a man.

Mother, you go back home peacefully. We'll fetch him out soon.

There'll be a serious action from our side.

Ok, Sir.

- What's happening? - He hasn't confessed till now.

We are still questioning him.

It's been days since you're behind this case.

Nothing will go wrong if it delays by a day.

Try to reach here before she is done with her performance.

- Hello Dad. - Yes dear.

I don't think I can make it on time.

No worries Dad. You come only after nabbing the thief.

I'll perform well.

- Thank you, dear. - Okay, dad

Oh...you were frowning all this while just to show off?

I just tried to pressurise Dad.

Hmm! Ok come.

Ma'am.

- Samuel Sir is on the line. - Yes.

Yes Sir.

A written complaint has come regarding that missing case.

Ok.

I can't keep it under wraps for long that he's under your custody.

Surely Sir. I'll do the needful.

- Let's make it fast. - Yes.

- Call Jayaraj. - Yes, Ma'am.

- Yes, Madam. - Jayaraj.

Jayesh's relatives have approached the SP there with a missing complaint.

They have the backing of some politician too.

I think we are off the track now.

Madam, there's a slight improvement in the questioning.

If we continue in the same way for some more time...

...it will surely bear fruit.

Jayaraj, you should understand one thing.

This is a crime sans any solid proof as an evidence.

You have been questioning him since 4-5 hours.

I don't think that there's any distinct improvement as yet.

Then, the local police and the Crime Branch have...

...previously questioned many suspects in the same way.

But failed to make any detection.

So...

...don't risk yourself and put your job in danger.

Got it, Madam.

After reaching such a point, if we release him...

...to find another accused in this case

...I've no clue, Madam.

Look, since his relatives have lodged a complaint, further matters will be risky.

Even if he just faints that will be a problem.

Before we get the next call from any higher officials, you better release him.

We can summon him tomorrow or day after tomorrow if needed.

- Ok, Madam. - Ok.

Your mother has lodged a missing complaint at the police station.

Do one thing. Call your mother from your mobile.

What will you tell her?

I will...

Tell her that you are in town for some cash settlement.

Sir, why should I lie to her like this?

Ok then tell her that we are interrogating you regarding a murder case.

No, Sir! My mother suffers from diabetes and high blood pressure.

Sir, he is trying to outsmart us.

Let his mother trip or fall unconscious, we don't care.

The more we are trying to shield him, he is wreaking havoc on us.

Sir, you call her.

I will say as Sir has told me to say.

See, he is calling.

My son, where are you?

- Mom, I am here in the town. - Hmm.

I am waiting here for a cash settlement.

I will reach home a bit late.

Son, I couldn't reach you on the call.

That's because my mobile had no charge.

I'll be there.

Don't worry.

Hello...

Hello...

The call got disconnected.

What's up Jayesh?

You look extremely tired, huh?

Yeah, he will be tired.

After having mutton biriyani he'll have a sound sleep at night.

Hey Jayesh...

Haven't you done overtime and had 2 sleepless nights?

What will be your plight if you remain awake today also?

I beg you not to torture me, Sir.

Because of 2 sleepless nights...

...I might fall off due to over stress.

Is it you?

Didn't you call home and say that you are...

...absolutely fine and waiting for a cash settlement?

Tomorrow morning, even if you are found hanging from a tree, no one will suspect us.

So Jayesh before dawn, we'll come to a conclusion in your regard.

Do you have any doubt?

Sir, as you said...

...even if I have to hang myself from a tree

...don't assume that you can persuade me to admit a crime I haven't committed.

Jayesh, 38 years..

..S/o Shivaraman Thundiparambil, Ezhukunnu has stated on interrogation..

I came to know about the murder of a lady Suma from my hometown..

...when my neighbour Manoj Chettan called me on the phone.

On the day of the murder, in the morning at around 8 am I...

..left home for my work.

I reached my shop at Pambanar at about 8.45 am.

Stop it.

This is the statement you have given the police.

This statement says that you were working in the shop till 5 pm in the evening.

Isn't it?

Yes.

Job, just tally his call details that day with his statement and show him.

Yes, Sir.

Sir, that day Jayesh left home at 8.05 am in the morning.

He reached the shop at 8.48 am.

Everything till here is absolutely right as Jayesh said.

Sir, but his statement that he was in the shop till 5pm is wrong.

That day at 10:05 am, Thomas called him and he left from the shop.

After that from 11.08 am to 12.55 pm his location suggests that he was at Keerikkara.

That means the location of the deceased lady Suma's home.

Then in the afternoon at 1.45 pm..

..your location shows that you were at Kurishumalla.

That's the place from where a bag with Suma's clothes soaked in blood was retrieved.

Hey, what's happening?

What will we do?

Hey...switch on the mobile flashlight.

Jayesh.

We just wanted to inform you that we have your call details and location map.

You told Thomas Chettan that you were in Cochin.

And your statement to the police says that you were in the shop till 5 pm.

But according to the call details...

you were at the location of Suma's home who was murdered.

There seems to be a total discrepancy Jayesh.

Explain it clearly.

I don't remember all that, Sir.

Anyway..

...the incidents that occurred around 1 to 1.5 years ago..

..how will I keep them in mind?

Hey..

Didn't you fear that the police dog would sniff and..

..trace you and that's why you didn't go to see her body at her home?

Dear, Sir..

..only if I go to work can I make both ends meet.

Leaving my job, I don't need to go and see the dead body of that lady..

..with whom I have no kinship or acquaintance.

What a pathetic situation this is!

I have told you numerous times that I have no role in this.

Seems somebody have come

Let me go and check.

When you take up some quotation you have to make sure happen

What will I answer to the people who gave me the money?

Unnecessarily why do we fight?

Let me go in, have booze and sleep well See you tomorrow

Hey you crap..

...don't call me anymore for a job with such buffoons.

Buzz off.

All of you switch off your mobiles, except mine.

That's all.

Won't the lawyer call only tomorrow morning?

We'll switch it on only then.

Don't take the upper hand by keeping only your mobile on.

You can just say that. The lawyer will only call me.

Who's that?

What's it man? Why are you here?

Who are you man?

Who are you. Go away. Go back home.

Who are you?

- Don't roam around, go home. - Who are you to act smart with us?

- What's your problem? - I am from the police.

You? Police?

- Is this the police..? - Hey get lost.

Hey, you leave me.

Hey, kill him. (Scuffle voices)

Hold him tight. Kill him!

- Hey, hey you. - Hey, get away.

Sir..

Hey you..

Hey..

You..!

You idiot! Catch him!

Go, man

Who is it?

Hey, leave me

I said leave me

It's locked.

Hey, they are really from the police. Run!

- Come on, run! - Hey, come fast.

Stop there, man.

Buzz off.

Subair.

- Job, hold him. - I'm fine.

Get some water.

I'm fine.

What happened Subair? Do you want to go to the hospital?

No need.

My blood pressure shot up.

Why won't it? He never takes his medicines on time nor does he sleep properly.

Why not we meet a doctor?

No need.

I'm ok.

Where is he?

Hey Jayesh..

I am right here.

Stand aside.

It's not safe here anymore.

Let's make things official.

Let's move to the police club.

Pack up.

Hey Job, pack everything.

- Subair, are you ok? - I'm ok.

Sir, be careful.

Come on, come on. Punch him on the nose.

Yes exactly. Hit him.

Exactly.

Is everything done?

Get down carefully.

Oops!

Sir, are we leaving?

- Didn't you realise what happened here? - So he confessed his crime?

- First open the boot and load the luggage. - Open the boot.

- Hey, keep all this inside. - Give it to me.

Sir, why is there blood on your neck? It must be his job?

Hey you... how dare you attack the police?

- Oh Girija, leave it. Start the vehicle. - I haven't done anything.

You go, start the vehicle You come with me

Close the door

"It's blazing..."

"It's flickering,"

"It's the ceaseless lamps of light,"

"Everything around extends.."

"..shrouds of darkness,"

"The flames burn restlessly,"

"As moths incinerate in the restless hunt for luminescence,"

"Here they are reduced to ashes spontaneously."

"Here.."

"To obscure directions,"

"To obscure meanings,"

"To obscure judgements."

"The shackles are unleashing,"

"The coiled mysteries unravel spontaneously in this room,"

"Loopholes unfurl in the shadows of this tale."

"In this whirlwind of murky shambles,"

"There's silence in the rustling of the broken branches."

"To obscure directions,"

"To obscure meanings,"

"To obscure judgements."

Good morning, Madam.

- Where are they? - They are inside.

Call them.

Sir..Sir.

SP Madam has come outside. She is calling you.

- Who? - SP Madam.

She is outside.

She has landed early in the morning itself to pester us.

Job, freshen him up.

Sir, let me change my dress.

- Hey, come. - Come.

Hey, get up.

I said get up.

Go on.

Ma'am!

Jayaraj.

Didn't I specifically ask you to release that Jayesh...

..before we get the next call from the higher level?

And why are still eating his head?

If the call yesterday was from the MLA, today..

..morning Minister's PS has contacted the IG.

Madam, we didn't release him yesterday since it was late night.

Today he is on the verge of confession.

Jayaraj you are miles away.

Did he confess that he has committed this murder?

No.

When we asked him yesterday he said that he had never gone that way.

But today he has agreed that he had gone that way.

Huh, so he went that way! Is this such a great breakthrough?

Let me see him.

- Madam. - Hmm.

Jayesh, right?

Yes, Madam.

When the police just nabbed you, we get a call from the MLA and from the Minister.

You seem to have links with the bigwigs.

I don't have any links, Madam.

My brother in law is a political worker.

When I went missing, he might have requested someone to make a call.

Are you fooling around with the police?

First of all let me make it clear.

If you play games, I'll beat you to a pulp.

You should answer my questions precisely.

Yes, I'll answer Madam.

Why did you lie till yesterday, that you had..

..not gone that way on the day of the murder?

But today you said that you had gone that way.

Hmm?

- I will say, Madam. - Hmm.

From yesterday, since I was brought from the airport..

..they believe that I have committed this murder..

..and they have been asking me several questions accordingly.

I was supposed to land at the airport and go home.

They brought an innocent man like me here and threatened me.

They are now trying hard to pin the blame of this murder on me.

That's the reason I was frightened to agree that I had gone that way.

Jayesh, no one here is going to pin the blame..

...of a murder on you, if you haven't committed it.

Madam, I trust you.

Oh!

So you trust me so much at the first meeting itself?

Not like that.

I have read about you in the newspaper.

Oh..ok.

Since you trust me so much..

...narrate the rest of the story.

What story, Madam?

What happened the day you went that way?

Didn't you pay heed to that house on the way?

If you ask me like that..

..I did pay heed, Madam. - And then?

Madam, I didn't say anything till now because I thought...

..that I shouldn't cause harm to anyone from what I saw there.

Now that has turned out to be a cross for me to bear.

You speak up. No harm will come on you.

That day when I went that way,

..there was a black bike in front of Suma's house.

The door was kept closed.

Then?

It's not right to state anything..

..unless we precisely know whose bike it was...

..or who was there at her home at that time.

This is why I didn't say this to anybody till now.

Whom are you talking about?

How will I know that, Madam?

Earlier...

..Sir, said that a newspaper man was there at that time. But I didn't see him.

But since he has agreed to it..

..don't you think he has committed that murder?

About whom is he talking?

Newspaper man Surendran.

Has he committed this murder?

I don't know who the accused is.

You should try to find and interrogate him.

Are you trying to teach us whom we should and shouldn't interrogate?

Newspaper man Surendran doesn't own a bike and neither does he know to ride one.

Are you unnecessarily trying to mislead the police?

Madam.

Madam.

No, don't Subair.

Oh God!

No Madam, don't hit him.

Here, hold him.

Sit here.

- Are you alright? - You just come outside.

Take care of him.

What is this?

Do you want water?

Hey..I don't think there's any point in questioning him further.

Go and drop him home fast.

Madam.

After your interrogation he is petrified. If we give one more try..

Subair, how long do you still have your service?

9 months.

Do you want to simply interfere in such matters...

..and get retired in the suspension period?

If his relatives file a habeas corpus in the court for his missing..

..you will have to bear the responsibility of that solely.

Don't make these policemen who are backing you, lose their job.

- Jayaraj, did you get me? - Yes Madam.

Sir.

What's up? Will this be a pain in the neck?

No, Sir. I came in person to release him.

- How long has it been? - About 10 minutes, Sir.

- Don't make me call again. - Sure, Sir.

See, how many are calling for this useless guy.

Go and drop him home now itself. It's my order.

Ok, Ma'am.

- Hey, go along with them. - Yes, Ma'am.

- And keep updating me. - Ok, Ma'am.

When she thrashed him violently, did she bother about this habeas corpus or stuff?

And now she says that the responsibility lies completely on us.

What will we do now, Sir?

What do I say?

Didn't you hear what Madam said? We'll do accordingly.

I don't want to be the cause for you people to lose your job.

Sir, don't get desperate at her words.

I'm not in despair.

When such an incident occurs at your own home, where the suspect isn't traced...

...you'll know the pain.

No point in discussing further. Let's pack up.

Sir, which is this place? I've to report it to Madam.

Oops! There's no connectivity. How will I report now?

Sir, this is not the way to my house.

No, it isn't.

But this is the way to someone's house who is very dear to you.

Sir, I have no one dear to me in this area.

If you are that sure, then there's no issue.

When we checked your call details for a year.

..we noted that there's someone in this area whom you've called the most.

Mini..

..wife of Thomson.

Who is she?

Sir, she is one of my friends.

- What do you mean by friend? - Friend means just a friend.

Isn't that enough for you?

Hello.

Shucks!

You have called your mother from the Middle East 84 times.

You have called Mini 214 times.

That doesn't seem to be only a mere friendship.

Whatever type of friendship it may be..

...what is the connection between that murder and my personal life?

Just a minute, Jayesh.

Sir..

Sir..

There is no other issue.

- What's the status at that place? - We went and enquired there.

Mini's husband is also there.

- Are all the family members there? - Yes.

Jayesh..

I had sent two men to your Mini's home.

They said that everyone are at home there.

Let's do one thing.

Let's go to Mini's house so you can give this doll you brought and then..

..we'll drop you home.

Come, all of you get in.

You don't know this Thomson well.

- I'll not spare you. - Achaya..

- You pig! - What are you doing?

Achaya leave him. Stay away.

Hey leave me.

Slowly.

"A gaze you bestow is all I need.."

"..To leave my heart humming,"

"One sweet smile is all it takes,"

"To engulf my heart with love"

"Your soothing words are like dewdrops dripping from petals,"

"My cloudy grief-stricken eyes are now clear as pristine skies,"

"The scorching summers are drenched by the moist clouds,"

"Here comes the moment when feathers flutter deep within me."

"A gaze you bestow is all I need.."

"..To leave my heart humming,"

"One sweet smile is all it takes,"

"Oh my heart!!"

"Frazzled times are woven into sweet moments by you,"

"My bird-like heart pens sweet sonnets."

"My mind now rests on a lap of flowers."

"These days and nights don't suffice to my heart's content,"

"Brooklets spring through you along the paths,"

"In that my heart trembles like a fiddling carp fish"

"The scorching summers are drenched with the moist clouds,"

"Here comes the moment when feathers flutter deep with me."

"A gaze you bestow is all I need.."

"..To leave my heart humming,"

"One sweet smile is all it takes,"

"To engulf my heart now with love,"

"Your soothing words are like dewdrops dripping from petals,"

"My cloudy grief-stricken eyes are clear as pristine skies"

"The scorching summers are drenched with the moist clouds,"

"Here comes the moment when feathers flutter deep inside."

I can't..

Go away if you not able

This is my house

Why can't we leave this place and go and live somewhere else?

I've got a job in the Middle East.

Let me go and come back. I'll set things right.

Sir, stop the vehicle.

I said stop the vehicle!

Stop the vehicle!

Sir, we were very intimate with each other.

I have been to her house several times.

He won't hesitate to even kill her and her..

...child, when he gets to know about our affair.

I can't live without her anymore.

That's the way the relationship between us has deepened.

When her husband comes to know everything..

..he may or may not hack both of you to death.

That does not bother us at all.

What pleasure are you going to get by wrecking both our lives, Sir?

Haven't you both enjoyed many intimate moments?

Now let that husband know certain facts.

Isn't that the courtesy?

Please Sir, don't go, Sir.

Please!

Isn't she the most dearest to you?

What if you have intimated something about this to her?

Let us just interrogate her.

No Sir, she doesn't know anything about this, Sir.

I haven't mentioned anything about this to her.

- Girija. - Hmm.

Pull over here.

Get down

This is your last best chance to tell us the matters you haven't told her.

Come on speak up.

I will say.

Can you give me some water to drink?

Sir, as usual that day morning I went to the shop from home.

I got a call from Thomas Chettan.

When I was heading to his house..

..Rajan Chettan, who runs a bakery, came saying that there was no power supply...

...from morning at the house he had rented out.

He asked me to check it urgently.

I have been there several times for repair works.

The tenants there were youngsters from IT field who were planning to shoot a movie.

I had realised that they were in desperate need of a story for their movie.

It was when I was planning to frame a story...

...of my life experiences and tell it to them

..that I got an opportunity to go there again.

Suma's son was also spotted there.

I have a story which is suitable for you.

It'll run 100 days. It'll be a blast if it's made into a movie.

Oh!!

- Shall I narrate it? - Ok, carry on.

- Is it an electrician's story? - No, not like that.

This is a romantic one.

- It's a high voltage romantic one! - Oh! Take a seat.

Please sit.

Ok.

Both of them fell in love at college.

After they parted ways..

..they meet each other after a long time.

By then she was already married.

Oops..!!

Shucks!

Both of them fall in love again.

Since they couldn't unite, they commit suicide.

Tragedy!

This is the theme of the story.

Your looks don't suggest that you're so cryptic.

Have one, come on.

Just have it.

Sheesh!

- How's it? - It's good, but..

..it would be awesome if it has a thriller mood. - Yes, yes exactly.

We need a thriller stuff.

This has a very romantic mood, but it can't be a thriller.

We'll get that thriller mood.

Just have a snort.

Come on.

Have a snort. Let some ideas arise. Enjoy it well.

- This is my first time. - Have it boldly.

Don't hesitate. Just have it. That's always the same.

Everything has a first time.

How's it?

Keep it away.

I don't feel anything.

Oh..nothing?

- I'll set the thriller mood. - He's done.

- No issues in that. - It's really normal, right?

So Chetta, your story is good

'What they gave me was some strong drug.'

..we need a song amidst the tea garden. Isn't it?

Something like that. We should travel with the song.

I have also written a song.

'I didn't understand then that they were mocking me.'

The hero and heroine meet in the midst of a tea garden.

'Sir, then everything was like a dream.'

Ok, then sing!

"Nipping the tender tea leaves.."

"Nipping the tender tea leaves.."

"The lass from Kollukumalai is nipping the tender leaves."

"Nipping the tender tea leaves.."

"Nipping the tender tea leaves.."

"This frolicsome lass is nipping tender leaves to the rhythmic beat."

"With a basket around her head,"

"And chewing on tobacco leaves,"

"She is plucking tea leaves to the woodpecker's beat."

"At the paved roads meandering along the hills,"

"At this garden encompassed with the dense mist"

"The worm snake dozed off amidst the fragrance of cardamom"

"The tiger, who reigns as the king of the forest."

"At the foothills of the Eliyodu mountain,"

"The fox dozing off with a smirk on his face"

"The scorpions sway their stinger tails,"

"The Antlions are busy digging pits."

"With female elephants to their company,"

"The worm snake dozed off amidst the fragrance of cardamom"

"Get both your hands pumping,"

"Nip the tender leaves my naughty forest girl,"

"Get both your hands pumping,"

"Fill your bag, my naughty forest girl"

"Get both your hands pumping,"

"Nip the tea leaves my naughty forest girl,"

"Get both your hands pumping,"

"Fill your bag my naughty forest girl"

I am telling you Go and bring him

Hey, come with me

Get on

One more heroine?

(Recalling Suma's Instagram reels)

Hey Suma!

How are you 'Lonely Suma'?

Who are you? I didn't recognise you.

Madam, I'm your Instagram fan.

I'm the one who usually gives the first like to the reels you post.

Is it? Thanks.

Madam...Madam.

The pink colour saree and sleeveless blouse you wore last week was really awesome!

Ok then.

You may go. I'm a bit busy.

Madam, the reason I've come..

..our movie has just kicked off.

You have a role in the movie, Madam.

I don't know how to act nor am I interested.

That's not an issue, Madam.

May be I will be your hero.

Won't we be a rocking combination?

You may go.

Madam.

Let me take a selfie.

Madam.

Why are you inside? Get out.

Madam, just a selfie.

Only one selfie.

- No selfie. I told you to get out. - Just one selfie, only one.

- Leave me. Get away. - Madam, just a minute.

Hey, what are you upto?

Just a bit.

Why are you touching me to take a selfie?

I'll call the police now. Madam..Madam.

Why Madam it's just for a selfie.

Why are you calling the police? I'll do it myself.

- Madam. - Leave me.

- What is this? - I said leave me.

Madam...Madam, don't hit me.

It's hurting!

Don't hit me. It's hurting.

Stop it!

Sir, it happened accidentally in a fit of rage.

Leave it.

'Today Crime Branch has arrested the convict...'

'...Jayesh of the Kerrikkara Suma murder case.'

'Crime Branch SP Reema IPS stated that the accused lived near Suma's house.'

'He committed the murder under the influence of drugs given to him by someone.'

The accused was under our surveillance for the past one year.

We were confident about the suspect from the very beginning.

Investigation in progress and the team proceeds to collect the evidence. That's it.

Rest will be stated later.

'The convict told the police that this was the first time in his life..'

'...that he had drugs that inspired him to commit the murder.'

'This case makes us realize that even the consumption...'

...of a small amount of drugs can lead us to commit crimes.

Anyway, we have solved this case which many of them tried...

...to enquire and crack it since two years but failed to do so.

- Big congrats to the entire team. - Thank you, Madam.

Then one more thing.

If we would have summoned him after issuing a proper notice..

..would there be a need for all this tension?

Now on, all of you should try to comply the rules.

If we issued him a notice and if he would have committed suicide there..?

I have had such bad experiences in the past, Madam.

Ok.

Anyways, good job!

- Congratulations Jayaraj. - Thank you, Madam.

Yes.

- Some procedures are still pending. - Please go on.

- Thank you, Madam. - Thank you, Ma'am

Yes.

Go

Sir.

Sir, Jayesh's mother has come to meet him.

Can she just talk to him, Sir?

Go and talk to her.

What's left to tell her now, Sir?

Let's go.

'CRIME BRANCH, IDUKKI'

Jayesh.

This may have happened accidentally.

But you would have committed a planned murder when you came this time.

You would have made acquaintance with a goldsmith in..

...the pretext of selling the gold biscuit you bought

..and you would've obtained a bit of cyanide from him

..and would have killed that Mini's husband.

Even without her knowledge.

This is just a hunch, but your plan may have been much more smarter.

The interrogation of a murder which has a probability..

...to occur can be done after it's committed, right?

Start the vehicle fast, Sir.

Your mind is now that of a brilliant criminal.

There are few cops perpetually present to ensnare even the most brilliant criminal.

Those pursuing to be a cop and the existent cops too.

Shall I start the vehicle, sir?!
