All language subtitles for Mathagam (2023) S01 EP02

(chickens clucking)

(Kabilan) Riyaz, bring the KRS diary.

Please notify the team to keep track
of all the calls made to Coin Siva.

(KRS) Coin Siva.
Full name: Sivaraman.

He collects change from
little shops and temples

and distributes them to the big shops
on a commission basis.

He uses this
to lend money on interest,

seize vehicles that go past due
on their loans

and also offers proxy services
to credit card collection agencies

to recover 6th bucket defaulters.

He uses known criminals and
influential people for these things.

Many criminals in Chennai
are under his control.

Active criminal. A+ category

Listen, attend the party.

-(criminal associate) Okay. But where?
-They'll let you know.

Ma'am, how long would it take
to make one cup of coffee?

-Anna is being disrespectful--
-(Siva's wife) Hey! Hey!

Hey, no!
What the hell are you doing?

(screams in pain)

(wife) Oh, no!

I'm inviting you
for a birthday party...

(wife) No!

-But you're determined to kill me.
-(wife) Hey!

-Please spare him.
-(crying)

(strained groaning)

(title song)

Sir. Greetings, sir!

Law and Order or CID?

I say, who are you, sir?

Niralya, did any of Guna's number
get activated?

Sir, you are ignoring me.
Why?

Inform me right away
if anything gets activated.

-Sir, I'm speaking to you!
-Old man.

Sir! Sir!

-Listen, old man.
-Sir, I'm speaking to you.

What do you want?

I'm asking you the same thing.
What do you want?

What do you need?

Please leave. We'll handle it.

You may leave. Please leave.

(panting)

(mild bark)

-Kabilan.
-Sir.

Ask Kareem to watch the exit point
near the bridge.

Okay, sir.

(suspenseful music)

Who are you?

(old man's son) Walk slowly.

(Kabilan) Yeah, that brown T-shirt.
Check closely.

Sir.

I have asked him to check.

(Sekar) Get this into your head.

Some people believe that being
intimidating makes them powerful.

But that's the beginning
of their end.

(scoffs)

I pointed a gun to your head, but
your brain is still not comprehending.

(smirks) Looks like he's not scared
of guns any more.

Take it away.

Fine, you are the Whale.

Happy? I agree.

I'm not angry with you at all.

Work is more important than anger.

(tsks) Bro...

give me your hand.

(suspenseful music)

I'm jobless, so I came here
to while away time.

At least I won't be bored.

(laughs)

-It's windy today.
-You're right.

-Why are you walking backwards?
-Sorry.

-I'm sorry.
-To hell with your apology.

No manners at all.
Incorrigible people.

(Kareem) Hello, sir. Tell me, sir.

Tell me, Kareem.

It's the Canalpuram Bridge, right?

Right side?
The right side is where I should go.

Bro, let's leave.

I said I will attend the party.

If you don't believe me,
leave your men behind.

Let's leave, anna.

It's not an easy task
to take me away from my area.

My men have it surrounded.

Understood?

-Kabilan.
-Sir, here I come.

(old man moans)

(Ashwath) Is there
another connecting route

other than these two bridges?

-No, sir--
-Hello, excuse me!

Are you looking
for the brown T-shirt guy?

How do you know?

If you ask the locals,
your work would've been easier.

-Instead...
-(tsks) Sir, tell us where he is.

Hmm.

(Kabilan) Hello? Are you mocking us?

When I calmly walk away,
it means you should follow me.

-You guys are incorrigible--
-Hey!

Sir, you're getting worked up and
making others worked up as well.

In fact, your plan is wrong.

A man at the back exit
and one in the front.

One man on the terrace.

There should be
constant communication.

Once you have the information,
you can arrest him right away.

Very simple.

Fine. do you or do you not know
where he is?

Hello, here's your tea.

Huh?

What was the hurry
that you pushed me then?

And now you're here having tea.

Old man, he's not here to drink tea.

He came to buy my shop
for Rs. 2,000.

-Rs. 2,000?
-Yeah.

That too for your shop.

Hmm! So expensive!

-Where are you from?
-12th Street.

Which house?

-Event supplies store.
-Oh!

Oh, how do you know
the dead guy from the shop?

(tea stall owner) Who?

The murder case
of the Area Secretary.

-(old man) Hmm?
-(Kabilan) Hey.

Smart move!

(tea stall owner) Here you go!

(old man) China tea, strong tea,
everything tastes the same.

Please have some tea.

You don't like to have tea
from your own shop.

I believe you're expecting good tea
from another shop.

Old man, stop annoying me
early in the morning.

Just a small investigation.
Don't worry.

(tea stall owner) I knew you were
bad news when you came in.

It has less salt.

-Hey, shut up.
-Okay.

Listen, everyone, get out.

-I said get out.
-Right. Everyone, get out.

Old man, you, specifically, get out.

-Out, everyone.
-Me?

Hey, keep moving.

(old man) I believe
I deserve a medal,

but, unfortunately,
I am being forced to leave.

His brother was hacked 15 times
by Padalam's men.

Yes, sir.

They kept slashing him
even after he died.

(Ashwath) But now
he works for Padalam.

(sighs) Very noble.

(chuckles)

What's so funny?

When I told the police that
Padalam Sekar killed my brother,

they closed the case,
claiming there was no evidence.

That same police are now saying
Padalam anna killed my brother.

Oh.

So, now Padalam has
become your brother.

Don't you think Padalam
is behind this case?

(scoffs) The police tampered with
my brother's post-mortem report, sir.

But I believed I would find justice
at the court.

I spent everything I had
and initiated an investigation.

I never imagined the judge would sing
the same tune as the police officers.

(tsks) Listen, we're not here
to listen to your story.

(Ashwath tsks)

Let him tell his story.

We were drowning in debt, sir,

so we came to the city
to make a living.

My mother thought,
if the entire family leaves town...

people would think we ran away
without repaying our debt.

So, they left me behind

and brought my brother
and his family to the city.

My mother always said we should not
bow down to anyone.

(Guna cries)

But on that day at the court...

I fell on the judge's feet
and begged him!

That was the biggest mistake I made.

Exactly a week later...

my mother was accused
of being a prostitute and arrested.

We would've died, sir.

I take it Padalam helped you
during that time.

Sir, that was not just a mere help.

I see it as my rebirth.

So, you're not angry with Padalam.

Sir, you need to be privileged
to get angry.

To me, the police and Padalam
are the same.

(mobile phone ringing)

One minute, sir.

Tell me, sir.

Sir, as you instructed,
I'm near Coin Siva's house.

I don't think anyone was here.

Only his car is parked out here.

There's no trace
of any other vehicle.

Sir? Sir? Is there a way out
of this street?

Go straight and turn right.

-Go right.
-Okay, Murugan...

if there's movement,
please inform me.

Okay, sir. I shall inform you.

"Pancakes are aplenty."

"Pancakes are aplenty."

(Sekar chuckles)

(Sekar) "Don't ask for it, floozy."

After that, I never met the Whale.

Just 15 days ago,
he called me over to Nellore.

There's a party coming up,
and he needed help.

He offered me Rs. 1.5 lakh.

I could've paid off my debt.

Now everything is over.

Nothing is over. You can help us.

That's about it.

Since the police did not corrupt me,
he came to me for help.

If he comes to know
that I'm speaking to you,

(tsks) he'll kill me.

You don't have to speak to us.

-Kabilan, all noted?
-Sir.

Here you go, sir.

No matter who you speak to...

just use these phone numbers.

That's enough.

Don't be afraid.
No one will suspect you.

Here you go.

You may leave.

Padalam anna always consults someone
over the satellite phone

before taking decisions.

Who is it?

I'm not sure.

But I remember the name.
Jambuk Sait.

(door creaks open)

(door creaks shut)

Every first-time criminal
has got the same backstory.

(Ashwath smirks)

Padalam may have killed his brother.

But it's the police
who killed Guna's soul.

(doorbell ringing)

(baby fussing)

How are you, dear?

Oh, my God.
You're holding my sweetheart.

Give her to me!

Come on, give her to me.

My dear sweetheart!

I see you're angry with me.

You're angry
because Grandma left you behind.

Come on, punish me, dear.
Come on, punish me.

I'm back for you, dear.

Hereafter, I won't go anywhere.

I will not go anywhere, dear.

Hmm.

You heard that right.
Grandma will not leave you.

In my village,
there's a little one just like you.

She was not keeping well.

That's why I went to see her.

Now I'm back!

Hereafter, I won't ever leave you.

I will take good care of you.

I will also take good care
of your mother.

What do you say, dear?

-Anna, Guna is here!
-(Murugan) Bring him in.

Come in.

(suspenseful music)

(henchman) This way, anna.

-Can we trust him?
-(Minu breathes deeply)

Ashwath,
is this Pandhal Guna reliable?

(Minu whines softly)

I have checked him. He is reliable.

-Keep a close eye on it.
-Yes, ma'am.

(phone beeps off)

(chuckles)

Kasthuri Amma has returned.

Vaidhegi.

-Vaidhegi.
-Hmm.

I believe I'm talking to you.

Can't you hear me?

You don't listen when I talk.

-Welcome, son.
-Let's not start this again, please.

-How are you?
-I'm good.

-How is your granddaughter?
-She's doing well too.

She has been admitted to
a big hospital in Theni.

My daughter is taking care of her.

-Shall I make you a cup of tea?
-No thanks.

I'm making aloo paratha.
Please have it before you leave.

-I don't have time.
-I'm making it for you.

I have to leave in ten minutes.

You have ten minutes, though.

The food is ready. Have it.

I'm running late. I told you that
I needed to leave right away.

I made it for you with love.

(Ashwath sighs)

It's good. It's delicious. Okay?

(utensils clatter)

-(Ashwath) Ma'am, this case is...
-You want coffee?

...more complicated
than we expected.

There's someone above Padalam Sekar.

Jambuk Sait.

We need to solve this puzzle
to know his plan and motive.

It'll be better if there is
no interference from the Nalangilli.

Don't worry about the minister,
Ashwath.

Got it?

We know how to manage him.

We have a trump card.

Ex-MLA Poovarasan murder case.

We can use that to keep him busy.

Just carry on, Ashwath. Okay?

-Thank you, ma'am.
-Hmm.

(phone beeps off)

Thank you.

-(sighs)
-Sayanthika?

You know that minister.
He is very powerful.

He's number two in the Cabinet.

You have to be careful.

(Sayanthika sighs)

Only you are not aware of your wife.

I'm not saying you have to fear him.
But...

-What I'm trying to say is--
-What?

Cheeni Amma used to say...

"When child-rearing
gets overwhelming,

"a wife will scold her husband
and miss him too."

Men know when women are sad
and why they complain.

But they are often ignorant
about what to do.

These poor men don't have a clue.

(baby crying over monitor)

Hold on, dear.
Let me check on her.

Sweetie, Grandma is coming to you!

Here I come. You stay here.

What do you want, dear?

What do you want, my dear?

Sweetie! You're precious, my dear.

(Kabilan) Only he has
all the information.

CHOOLAI BABU BIRTHDAY PARTY.

The party is also happening
in his name.

Somehow get the mole inside his gang
to meet our man.

(KRS) Choolai Babu.
Full name: Ram Babu.

He's from Suruttapalli.

At a young age, he started smuggling
liquor in lorry tyre tubes.

And now he smuggles psychedelic drugs
like marijuana, opium, etc.

He's flourishing into a drug lord.

He's the critical bagman for drugs
supplied from different corners of India.

A huge web of peddlers
is his strength.

But he's weak in team management.

We have reliable sources that
can provide intel from the inside.

Category A.

(singing) ♪ Even if we prevent aunties
From flaunting ♪

♪ Despite being 50 years old ♪

♪ A man maybe desperate... ♪

Anna, happy birthday!

How are you?
I hope you're rocking!

Switch off the mic.

(mic droning down)

-(Babu's wife) Where's your grandpa?
-(boy) The old man is upstairs.

(screams)

Dear!

Dear!

Hmm?

Shall I make mutton chops curry?

-Make goat fat curry.
-Did your teeth give up?

My brain gave up. Get lost!

(in Telugu) Shut up!

(in Tamil) My mistake that I tried
being nice on your birthday.

Your mouth stinks just like you.

(Kabilan) I need a list of people
Choolai Babu met after he left prison.

(Umapathy) Okay, sir.

(Kabilan) Sir, you have linked
everything around the party.

It should be around Padalam.

No, Kabilan.
Everyone is working for the party.

Think about it.

He faked his death.

After two years, he has arranged
for a party.

One who wants to escape and live
won't return.

Even if he returns,
he won't organise a party.

I think we missed
something important, Kabilan.

There's something
beyond what it seems.

(hotel employee) Egg biryani parcel
is ready.

-Step aside.
-Mutton biryani, anna.

-One chicken biryani.
-(customer 1) One plain biryani.

-Mutton biryani.
-(customer 2) Do you have MPay?

-Scan this.
-(customer 1) Give me my plain biryani.

-(Veera) Here's the card.
-No card, sir. Only cash.

It's cash, anna. The Whale sent me.

(customer 3) Here you go.

(customer 4) Hey.

-Wait over there. Give it to me.
-I need one.

Attend to the customer inside.

Okay.

I'll inform him.

Sir... the news is confirmed.

Last week in Chennai,
to an unknown source...

eight transactions were made.

It was collected by
Padalam Sekar's reliable source.

-Come here.
-Anna...

Come here!

Yeah.

-Yes, anna?
-Give me your phone.

-What happened?
-I said give me your phone.

SIM card.

(keypad beeping)

(electronic chime)

Sir.

(mobile phone ringing)

-Hello?
-Happy birthday, anna.

Tell me, Sekar.

So, how's your birthday going on?

-Nothing great.
-Don't sound so bleak.

We have made grand arrangements
for your celebration.

Have fun!

What's the surprise at the party?

Be patient.
You'll know at the party.

Shall I give you your birthday gift?

What is it?

-Is his name Kanagu?
-Yes, anna.

Does a boy named Kanagu
work for you?

Yes. He's my guy.

He's been around me for a long time.

He's a good boy.

He's around you
to stab you in the back.

-What are you saying?
-That asshole is a police informer.

He's been informing the OCPU.

He was with me all this while,
and I took care of that fucker.

We need to kill that bastard, Sekar!

Fucking ungrateful dog!

-Hold on! Hear me out.
-I'm going to rip him apart!

I said hold on a minute.

-Did you tell him about the party?
-Yes, I did.

I mentioned it to him
in the morning.

He listened to everything

-to rat me out to the police!
-Calm down!

Pull over.

That bloody dog used to live
at my mercy.

I will cut him into pieces
and throw him into the sea.

Calm down!

You already spilt the beans.

Wait, let me think.

Anna, keep a close watch
on all the food carts in your area.

If he meets the police,
we will cancel the party.

-Party?
-Do you hear me?

If he meets the police,
I will cancel all our plans.

Understood?

Tell me what to do with Kanagu.

I will tell you later
what to do with him.

-Moorthy!
-Anna...

-Moorthy!
-Tell me, anna.

Fucking moron, Moorthy!

Hey, Moorthy!

Can't you hear me?
I'm screaming my lungs out!

What is it, anna?

Fucking traitor.

Push!

That's enough. Hop on!

Anna, are we going to kill Kanagu?

Fucker keep your mouth shut.

Why would we kill him in public?

If you don't shut up,
I will kill you!

Kabilan, no one from intelligence
should meet Kanagu.

Sir, I just sent Riyaz to meet him.

-Call and ask him to return.
-Okay, sir.

(mobile phone ringing)

Sir, Riyaz left his phone behind.

(Babu screams)

(Ashwath) How can you casually say
that you can't stop Riyaz?

Check who he is talking to.

Anna, I'm feeling dizzy.

Check, damn it!

-He left!
-Hop back on, idiot!

Umapathy...

How long would it take
to clear the shop

if we informed
Ennore police station?

In the department,
many work for Choolai Babu.

I can speak to the inspector.

(train horn blares)

Sir?

As a last option, let's call Kanagu.

Kabilan, Kanagu is already exposed.

Sir, I know the owner of
the fish mart near the playground.

-Sir!
-Hello, is this Monisha fish mart?

Hello? Hello?

Hello?

-Sir, please call her back.
-Yes, sir.

Hello!

-Ma'am, where are you?
-Hello?

-Are you at the shop?
-Do you want squid, sir?

Ma'am, where are you?
Are you at the shop?

Sir, do you want me to send fish
to your place?

I have Thenga Parai fish,

lady fish, pomfret--

I don't want anything.
Are you at the store?

-Hello? Hello?
-Can you hear me?

I can't hear anything.

Enough talking over the phone.

Wait up. He's been torturing me
and freeloading in the morning.

-Let it go. Let's leave.
-Wait, I'm coming.

As it is, I'm worried...

Anna...

(shushes)

-(mobile phone ringing)
-Hello.

-Sir, sir, sir, please wait.
-Hey, hey!

The medicines are here.

-Medicines?
-Ashwath sir ordered them.

Ma'am, make me an egg dosa.

And two piping-hot idlis.

That shop does not serve
good egg dosas.

(line ringing)

-I have tried it.
-(Babu) Moorthy, what happened?

Hey!

Hello, anna.
He's here to have breakfast.

(mobile phone vibrating)

Sekar, that guy
went to have breakfast.

He did not meet anyone.
What do we do now?

You come to the party.
We'll handle this later.

-Ma'am.
-Hmm?

Shall I change the cartridge?

Uh-uh.

-Ask Sundara Pandian to come.
-Okay, ma'am.

Sir, madam is calling you.

-Ma'am!
-Please change the cartridge.

Me, ma'am?

-Do you know how to do it?
-Yes, ma'am.

-Then please do it.
-Okay, ma'am.

-Hariharan.
-Yes, ma'am.

We have to reopen
the ex-MLA Poovarasan murder case.

Ma'am, Minister Veeraval Nalangilli
is involved--

So what?
This is a murder case.

Ma'am...

Just because Veeraval Nalangilli
is involved, we can't spare him.

-Reopen the case right now.
-Okay, ma'am.

If we have evidence, let's file
a charge sheet against Nalangilli.

-This is an order!
-Yes, ma'am.

-Quickly start the investigation.
-Okay, ma'am.

-Is it done?
-Yes, ma'am.

-Print a test copy.
-Okay, ma'am.

(printer whirrs)

The list states that many IAS officers
received hawala transfers, sir.

(ominous music)

-Kabilan.
-Sir.

What is the connection between
the party and the money?

Dhananji, even if you stand
on your head, he will not agree.

You may leave.

We slog a lot to earn money.

But you're lucky
that money comes to your doorstep.

Take a look.

"If you don't respect good luck,
you will attract bad luck."

That's a popular quote
I have heard somewhere.

Please understand.

Partnerships should be
mutually agreeable.

If you force it, it won't work.

Your husband does not understand,
and now you too.

Let me know how many trucks
you want. I will bring them to you.

Name your price.
I will get it for you.

It's a massive car company.

And you're struggling alone
to maintain the logistics.

I want to be of help.

Let's join hands and do business.

Please hear me out, Laxmanan.

The company manufactures
2,000 cars per day.

The company has faith in me
and my trucks.

Don't I know how to do business?

Madam, we have started doubting
if we know the business.

We have years of experience
in the cargo and logistics industry.

They look like thugs.

Suddenly, they're insisting on
partnering up in our business.

It does not look like they're here
to do business.

They carry ready cash
with them, madam.

How they have so much money

and what their intentions are,
we don't know, madam.

They have the support
of powerful ministers.

We can't file an official complaint.

Since I know you personally,
I came to talk to you about it.

It does not look like
a regular threat.

They're here with a plan.

They are determined to become
partners in this business.

(rapid laboured breathing)

(Dhananji) Are you ready
for the partnership now, Laxmanan?

If you take action right away,
it would be helpful.

Okay, I will handle this, Prakash.

Ashwath, why are criminals
targeting businesses now?

It looks like they're planning
an economic crime.

I think
our city is in danger, Ashwath.

We need to take action right now!

Find out if similar threats have been
made to other business people.
