HUNTER

Good Morning.

Shall we start?

The English who came here to trade
via the British East India Company...

...deceived the Indians, enslaved them,
ruled them with tyranny...

...and plundered this entire nation.

Yes.
All of this is true.

But prior to this period,
was everything alright here?

During the rule of monarchy,
justice was not the same for all.

Education was not within everyone's reach.

The 1813 charter of education...

...and the 1834 law commission...

...which declared equality in education
and criminal law...

...was created by the same British,
who ruled over us.

It's been over 75 years
since the country attained independence.

Equality in education and justice
is promised by the constitution.

But has this been implemented in reality?

We're well aware...

...the law did not treat everyone equally
back then.

But today...

...that bias...

...hides in plain sight in the garb of
money, authority, caste and religion.

For every citizen to enjoy the rights
offered by the constitution...

For the statement 'All Indians are equal'
to come true...

...every Indian citizen must get the right
to education and justice, equally.

I am Sathyadev.

I have practiced law for thirty years
at the High Court of Bombay.

The subject you're about to learn
from me is...

"Ensuring human rights through law".

Red phosphorus is an allotropic form
of phosphorus.

Zoom in, buddy!
-Let me see!

Hold up!
We'll get caught!

Hey bro!
It looks stunning!

They are rocking!
-Let me see!

The incident involving students at a
public school, who took lewd pictures...

"... of a female teacher,
and spread the same on social media... "

"... has made the public cringe in disgust. "
-Why watch this?

"This video of public school students
from Kanniyakumari hooked on marijuana... "

"... who were lying on train tracks
went viral. "

"It has caused a public uproar. "
-They're all rotten!

"Many such videos of inappropriate
behavior among public school kids... "

"... is causing heavy unrest. "

"The government just watches a generation
get ruined, with no concern for the youth!"

In the NEET and JEE entrance exams
for the last five years...

...very few students from public school
managed to pass.

"Public schools don't have
good infrastructure. "

"No good teachers, either. "

"No special tutoring
for entrance exams, too. "

"Then how do you expect them to pass,
sir?"

In the entrance exams conducted by
the union government...

...99% of the seats are taken by those
who can afford private tutoring.

Economically poor public school students
fail in these exams.

Isn't this injustice, sir?

To ensure such economically backward
students clear these exams...

...we're initiating special coaching
at public schools.

The very first one
will begin in Tamil Nadu.

"In Kanniyakumari, history sheeters
known for murder, theft and abduction... "

"... rogues Rajesh and Sebastian... "

"... were killed in an encounter
by Superintendent Athiyan. "

Knew that's why the SP's office
was buzzing as of late!

If an eagle is encircling the sky,
it means there's plenty of prey.

Hello, brother.

(Malayalam) Excellent!

You said you're quite the don.
And you're making tea?

Let it go.

Don't army men make chapatis?

Can't take up any new jobs!

After that encounter, no one's showing up
to move the merch!

How would they?

Give me that.

We have a demon in our hands
in the form of the SP!

He has us all on a black list,
naming us as history-sheeters.

He'll pop us in an encounter
at any time!

Even if we go to jail,
we can get out on bail.

But if we lose our lives,
can we get it back?

They are building quite the hype
for the SP!

This is no hype.
It's real.

I've seen cops up close
since I was twelve.

They can be split into four categories.

I didn't mean to do it!
-Can't repay the loan, eh?

The first category.

Majestic police officers
who are both talented and honest.

Think you didn't know those guys
work for me. Let them go!

Not just your guys!
I'll throw you behind bars too!

Hang up!

The second category.

Talented but not so honest.

But they'll never give up
their pride of being a cop.

Think kickbacks make you a big shot?

You expect cops to just watch you
assault people in public?

Hang up!
You get in!

The third category.

Honest but untalented.

Nothing bad will happen because of them.

Nothing good either.

Sorry, sir.
I don't take kickbacks.

I'm going on leave.

Get this done with another officer.

The fourth category.

Garbage!

Untalented and dishonest.

They'll sell out the police department!

I've filed four false charges
on the complainants.

It'll take six months
to make bail.

There's one category
above these four.

Along with honesty and talent,
there's boundless courage.

They're like shooting stars.

'The hunter is not one for games'

'We love to bring the pain'

'You are lucky if you stay'

'This hunter reigns every day'

'The hunter is not one for games'

'We love to bring the pain'

'You are lucky if you stay...
This hunter reigns every day'

They believe their conscience
is bigger than the law.

You can never predict
what they'll do.

Our fear is what
makes the other a big shot.

Decide whatever you want.

I can handle the cops.

Courage isn't the concern now,
Kumaresa!

Getting our work done is!

Who does this crackpot think he is?

Rajesh's death alone has gotten
the old man rattled!

If he sees the SP in person,
boom!

You don't have to see a tiger
up close!

Just knowing it is around
is enough.

Fear will materialize by itself.

Listen up! Let's put our business on hold
for a while.

That's what is good for us.
Got it?

Do we have government jobs
to take time off?

The man seems to be on a mission
to take us out!

If he busts you,
you're done for!

I'll hack off the SP's limbs
within the next four days!

What is it?

The tiger's here?

The department calls him 'Hunter'.

We're definitely having
a hunt today!

'Onto you...
What are you duckin for?'

'You can't dodge bullets
from the encounter star bro'

'Clean shot cold'
-'Merciless'

'Savage encounter specialist'

'Kill confirmed'
-'Who is next?'

'No stoppin the... '
-'... fearless'

'Cocked the gun, target in sight'

'Squeezed the trigger'

'This cop do not miss'

'Body count gets bigger'

'Clean shot cold'
-'Merciless'

'Savage encounter specialist'

'Kill confirmed'
-'Who is next?'

'No stoppin the... '

'Yeah'

'Let's go'

'What?'

'You know... '

'... who this is'

'Yeah'

'The hunter is a fiery one...
Here he comes... Take a look'

'The hunter is a fiery one...
Here he comes... Take a look'

'Cocked the gun, target in sight'

'Squeezed the trigger'

'This cop do not miss'

'Body count gets bigger'

'Cocked the gun, target in sight'

'Squeezed the trigger'

'This cop do not miss'

'Body count gets bigger'

'His presence is magnetic'

'The icon...
then, now and forever'

'The epitome of style'

'Forever the trendsetter'

'His presence sparks a wildfire'

'Back to back better than ever'

'He simply does not miss'

'That's a fact...
The hunter is back'

'The hunter is a fiery one...
Here he comes... Take a look'

'The hunter is a fiery one...
Here he comes... Take a look'

'Onto you...
What are you duckin for?'

'You can't dodge bullets
from the encounter star bro'

'Clean shot cold'
-'Merciless'

'Savage encounter specialist'

'Kill confirmed'
-'Who is next?'

'No stoppin the... '

Six cases of murder.
Sixteen cases of attempted murder.

No matter how many times the police
put you behind bars...

...you'd fall at the feet
of those in power and get out.

You must not be spared any more.

When the hunt is on...

...the prey must fall!

And it has!

Are you a cop or a thief?

A thief who works for a cop!

You scoundrel!

Kumaresan got away.

Had you come earlier,
you'd have snatched him easily!

Why do cops always show up late?

Doesn't bother me.

Kumaresan got away.

Where are you off to?
-Oh no!

I'm wise enough to not tell cops that!
Let me know when there's another job!

Love you, sir!

Ma'am called several times, sir.

Once you're there,
the event can start, she said.

The Malayali Association of Kanniyakumari
proudly welcomes Superintendent Athiyan!

Morning, sir.
-Morning, sir.

"Lorry accident at the Thakkalai Junction.
Ambulance on the way. "

"We're clearing traffic, sir.
Over. "

Hello viewers of 'Galatta Kitchen'!
You are the Gods who keep me going!

As our channel 'Galatta Kitchen'
have reached one million subscribers...

...we have received this gold button!

Thank you all very much!

Sir?

The strike at college
is getting sensitive.

Have 200 officers ready to go!
Traffic shouldn't hold up...

We're recording!
-Coming your way: Delicious new recipes...

Silence please!
-Continue to share your love and support!

We'll meet in the next recipe!
Bye!

We're discussing important stuff
and you shush me?

How can we livestream if you talk loudly,
uncle?

1,000 people are blocking the streets
there!

100,000 people are watching this live
here!

There's a riot in the comment section!

(Malayalam) Stop it!
Always making a fuss!

If he doesn't eat on time,
you'll get whacked!

See you later.

The region that has created the most number
of teachers in all of Tamil Nadu...

...propagated and progressed with education
is our own Kanniyakumari.

For introducing the Smart Students Scheme
in our district...

...I extend my gratitude
to the Hon'ble Minister of Education.

At this time, the minister launches
the Smart Students Scheme.

Case number 17/23!

Case filed against the police
in Kanniyakumari!

They were charged with murder, theft,
abduction and instigating communal riots.

We went with an arrest warrant. They were
armed with guns, knives and explosives.

Four cops got knife wounds,
Your Honor.

How come all of you give the same statement
word for word?

Your Honor...

Each of us can come up with a lie.
But the truth is the same, right?

Why didn't the police arrest them
beforehand...

...instead of letting charges pile up
like so?

Don't you take money from them
and let them run rampant?

Had we conducted encounters
over just two or three charges...

...we wouldn't have to be here right now.

Do you know who these officers are?

Renowned encounter specialists, sir.

Despite there being millions
of police officers in this country...

...you have no trouble
identifying these men. How is it possible?

They possess the kind of courage
those million others lack.

They turned heroes due to their encounter
attacks on the most dangerous criminals.

So...

Murder in the name of 'encounter attacks'
is heroism, is it?

Is it right for the law to declare someone
as 'the most dangerous criminal'?

Or is it right for an individual
to declare that?

The conscience of a police officer
is more important than their gun.

There's nothing personal
to gain in an encounter.

We only get ripped apart by the department,
magistrate and Human Rights Commission.

We could lose our jobs.

Why, we could even go to prison.

We believe public safety is more important
than our self-defence.

"The procession at Holy Cross Hospital Road
is over, sir! Over!"

Pass this to the DSP to take action
immediately.

Sure, sir.

"Respected Mr. Superintendent... "

"My name is Saranya. "

"I work as a math teacher
at the Pechiparai Middle School. "

It's wet!
Watch your step!

Turn on your tablets
and log in, everyone!

How come this isn't working?

Mine doesn't work either, ma'am.

"Doesn't work?"
-Mine too, ma'am!

Mine too, ma'am!
-Mine too!

Hand in the malfunctioning tablets.
We'll get them fixed.

What's with the ruckus?

Why sit in the rain
instead of going to class?

The classroom is locked, ma'am.

"Locked?"

The kids are getting drenched!

Why did you lock the classrooms?

They usually keep it
in the kitchen.

Lot of goods have arrived, ma'am.

So they have stored it
in the classroom.

Ma'am...

Cops, politicians and rogues are partners
when it comes to the marijuana trade!

I've filed many complaints.
No use!

It must be Kumaresan.
Make sure no one finds out.

It's enough if the police don't find out!

Sorry, sir.

No matter how conscious I try to be,
I blurt out the truth!

Alright, sir.

Bye.

Don't run!
Tread carefully!

Hi!
I'm Battery!

Sorry!
It's 'Patrick'!

They call me 'Battery'.

This isn't a love letter.

The letter you wrote to the SP.

Rather than an anonymous petition,
you filed an official complaint.

Figured you were somewhat nuts.

What else?

Had Kumaresan found about
this letter...

...not me but someone else
would be on your tail with a knife!

Give me that.
You're beautiful, ma'am.

Be careful.

School's this way, right?

What do you teach, ma'am?

I studied computer science.

But we have no lab here.
So, I teach mathematics.

I've requested a transfer to Chennai.

Computer Science is my favorite subject
too.

What have you studied?

Bachelors in Engineering?

I studied at Children's Reform School.

Trivandrum.

You'll give me your address
once you go to Chennai, yes?

You're a cop, right?

No!
I'm a thief!

Then how did you get the letter
I wrote to the Superintendent of Police?

In the police records,
my name is 'Cyber' Patrick!

Thieves don't need to wear masks.

A little smarts will suffice!

Greetings, sir!
-Welcome!

Shall we begin?
-Yes!

Happy Shopping!
-Thank you!

At one point, the SP nabbed me.

"You have talent. "

"Use it for a good cause",
he said and kept me along.

If I had got a teacher like you...

...I'd have become a software engineer
too.

Give me a hand, ma'am!

Kumaresan's main targets
are students and tourists!

Marijuana is sourced from Andhra
and smuggled through Kerala forests.

No matter how much we shadow him,
it gets leaked!

Crimes are like cancer.

We can't let them spread.

This is what happens
when you do.

It won't even spare
school kids!

He has over two thousand people
in his employ, sir!

Even if we arrest them,
he just hires more people!

If we cut off the head?

The rest will fall!

Kumaresan has a huge network
of rogues, sir. They'd do anything for him.

SP is the district's biggest rogue!

If a criminal runs rampant in spite of all
the power we got, we've failed at our jobs!

Enough chit-chat!
We're taking him out! Got it?

Yes, sir!

Put down your phones here.

This is Patrick, dad.
My friend.

Hi!

The tracker is working!

"A special meeting about you
took place today at the SP's office!"

As if we don't know about cops.

This SP is different.
Take care!

Killing a bunch of citizens here...

...will cause the SP
to get transferred, yes?

This will do. Get out of there now.
-Okay, sir.

Wake up!

Load them up!
Get in!

Ask those guys who are shooting videos
to get out of here!

One minute, sir.
I need to speak to my lawyer.

Get going!

Tell them to leave!

What are you staring at?
Go!

I don't know why the SP spared me.
I'm suspicious.

No danger now. We'll handle it in court.
-Tell them to go!

Get them out of here!
-Leave now!

Get going, I say!

Get in!

Kumaresa! Don't run!

Listen!
-Alert the check posts!

Listen!
-This is Sub-Inspector Rajendran!

We arrested Kumaresan and his men!
-Don't run! You fellow!

"Kumaresan attacked the police en route
and is on the run! Backup needed now!"

I repeat: The accused attacked us
and is on the run! Send backup now!

Stop!
-Don't run!

Don't run, Kumaresa!
-Stop!

Kumaresa!

Don't run, Kumaresa!
Stop!

Sir...

Sir...

You get kids hooked on drugs.

If police take action,
you'll needlessly kill citizens.

We present you in court, you plead
innocence and buy your way to freedom!

In a fair world...

...you would get the death penalty.

Isn't it true, Kumaresa?

Fine, I am a horrible man.

I kill, I sell weed.

You'll shoot me.

But are you cops all noble?

What are you doing?

Sir?
-This man fired, right?

I pay him two hundred grand every month!

There are three colleges
in his jurisdiction!

Weed business is booming!

With his full support!
-Sir... No...

If there's no supply of weed,
he'd be like a junkie itching for a fix!

Don't believe him.
-Even last month...

...I had two people run over by a truck!

I paid him a million to close that case
as an accident!

Are you going to give him a medal?

Yes, sir.

Go.

You're absolutely right, Kumaresa!

Men like him in authority are much worse
for society than people like you!

They breed rogues!

They must be fired from the department...
No.

They must not be left alive.

Here!

Shoot him and run off
to another state!

Hey!
Why'd you shoot him just like that?

You're the one who told me to shoot him!

And if I say so...

...you'd shoot a cop, eh?

When the hunt is on...

...the prey must fall!

The marijuana trade in Kanniyakumari
has been exterminated.

The courage of public school teacher
Saranya and her concern for students...

...made this happen.

"The Education Minister commended
Saranya. "

Have some sweets!

Promotion confirmed, huh?

Promotions aren't doled out for this!

I've asked for a transfer to Chennai.

Think I'll get that now.

Why Chennai?

I want to do a Ph. D in Computer Science
at Anna University.

Listen well!
This is the way to go!

Saranya?
-Sir?

Just like this, fear no one
and go about your life.

No fighting, okay?

Thank you!
So sweet!

Be well, little ones!

Ma'am really seems to be fond
of children.

She's really fond of them.

She strongly believes the virtues and sins
of parents will pass on to their children.

An encounter may be justified,
but a life is still lost, isn't it?

So she decided she didn't want children.

(An affectionate protest by students
not wanting to bid bye to their teacher)

See you, brother.

Hello, sir.

Four of the six computers don't work,
ma'am.

The mouses and keyboards
must be replaced.

I've prepared a requirement list.

If that's fixed, it'd be very helpful
to the kids.

You've checked the labs already?

Good!
Very good!

Greetings.
I don't want to disturb the inquiry.

We are here to observe.
So please proceed.

Please, sir.

My Lord!
The SP deceived the court...

...and shot Kumaresan en route!

It's clearly a planned murder, ma'am!

"He tried to escape. He attacked the cops.
We shot him in self-defence. " All lies!

The witnesses from the police
are in order.

An Inspector has died.

Will a criminal who has shot someone
hesitate to shoot others?

What are you saying?

Mr. Athiyan, you may leave.

Next!

To prove your encounter was justified,
the judge herself turned a defence lawyer.

Very nice!

At this rate, the police may end up
usurping the court's authority soon!

When injustice happens,
rather than staying silent...

...nothing wrong if the police take control
of authority, Mr. Judge.

Your granny's dancing
as if she's possessed! Come!

Help!

"The number you are calling is... "

"The number you are calling

A teacher was brutally murdered
in the school campus.

Such an incident during exam time...

"... has caused a stir
among teachers, parents, and students. "

"Ms. Saranya bravely brought to light
marijuana stashed in a school campus... "

"... in Kanniyakumari. "

"For that valiant act, she was nominated
for a Best Teacher Award. "

'Shining as the sun above... '

'... an angel, you were'

We've informed
the deceased Saranya's parents.

Preliminary investigation is underway.
We'll update you soon.

Sky News got an exclusive look
at Ms. Saranya's post-mortem report.

"The doctors have confirmed
this was a brutal rape-murder. "

"To ensure she didn't scream, the killer
had crushed Ms. Saranya's larynx. "

'Shining as the sun above,
an angel, you were'

'You vanished away'

'Alas...
What a fate'

'Swaying upon a swing of stars,
a lotus, you were'

'Now uprooted and toppled'

'Alas...
What a tale'

'Closing your eyes... '

'... what dreams will you see?'

Hang him!
-The voice of this wallowing town... '

'... when will you rise and hear?'

'Barren and desolate... '

Hang him!

Hang the culprit!
-'Barren and desolate... '

Arrest him!
-'... the bountiful river has become'

'What was happened?'

'The chariot lies bereft of its axle'

'Shining as the sun above,
an angel, you were'

'You vanished away'

'Alas...
What a fate'

We want justice!
-We want justice!

Shoot him down!
-Shoot down the culprit!

Women are not protected by this country.
But rogues most certainly are!

We want...
-Justice!

'A garland of pearls
now thrown into the trash'

'What is there on this earth
to talk about anymore?'

'A moist firewood... '

'How can it burst into flames?'

'The pain that burns within... '

'How will it ever find peace?'

'Shining as the sun above,
an angel, you were'

'You vanished away... '

'Alas...
What a fate'

'Closing your eyes,
what dreams will you see?'

Did we work so hard to raise her
and educate her...

...only to see her in this state, sir?'

'When will you rise and hear?'

'Barren and desolate... '

If I were to get my hands on the wretch
who ruined one of our women...

...I will hack him to bits
and toss him into the sea!

'... an angel, you were'

'You vanished away'

"With protests happening across India... "

"... on the situation of law and order
in Tamil Nadu... "

"... the central govt. has requested
a report from the state government. "

We've formed a special team
to catch the criminal.

Good! The government must not be
tarnished. Take any action you want.

I can answer your questions
only after the investigation is complete!

A special team is set up
under the command of Harish Kumar IPS.

We've begun investigating.
The culprit will be caught soon.

Then, we'll talk.
Thank you.

No CCTV cameras around the school.

This is your first case, right?

Yes, sir.
-Very sensitive case.

Give it your best.
-Sure, sir. I will.

She did Saranya's autopsy.

There's been violent sexual intercourse.

There are hymen ruptures and contusions
in the genital area.

As the body was in the water,
no semen traces were found.

Did anyone have a grudge with Ms. Saranya?

A lover, boyfriend or affair?

She's only been with us for a few months,
sir.

But she's a very sincere
and dedicated teacher.

Saranya is an active member
of the teacher's association.

She's the last one to leave campus
every day, ma'am.

That teacher would take classes
for no charge!

I can't imagine the agony
her mother is in!

Do not spare him, sir!

At the start of every class, Ms. Saranya
would always ask us if we had eaten.

I was very fond of her!

When we had money troubles,
my father sent me to work.

Ms. Saranya fought with my father
and got me admitted to school.

"Saranya, the deceased, had complained
to the cops about drugs sold to kids... "

"... in Kanniyakumari. "

"That led to an encounter killing. "

"The case must be investigated
from this angle, too. "

With your permission,
I'll investigate the Saranya case.

A cop from Kanniyakumari
will investigate a Chennai crime?

Please mind your business.

Sir, she...

Until we get justice, not a single teacher
will go to school!

We will not conduct exams!

We will not let up!

Our voices will not be silenced!

We will not let up!

Our voices will not be silenced!

There's nothing found in the crime scene
that can be traced to the perpetrator, sir.

Velmurugan?
-Sir?

Any updates on Saranya's phone?
-No, sir.

It's still switched off.

It's last location was the school.

Hello?

Saranya had to step away for two hours
that day.

I handled her classes.

When Saranya called, I couldn't pick up.
-Okay, sir.

When I tried calling back,
her phone was off.

"The series of protests
by teachers... "

"... has left the future of students
at an impasse. The school where Saranya... "

What are you people doing?

Sorry, sir.
We've got no leads yet.

A special team to say
that there are no leads!

We've been pursuing this case 24/7.

No one's gone home yet.

You have two more days.

If the case is still open,
you will be replaced.

Athiyan, the SP of Kanniyakumari,
is requesting the Saranya case details.

What does he have to do with this?

Is it our job to give updates
to everyone?

Can I go to Chennai
and follow up on this?

Not at the moment.

Roopa!

The watchman say the helmet might belong
to the guy who services computers.

His shop is near the school.

Have forensics check out the helmet.
-Yes, sir.

She's part of the Teacher's Associ...

One moment.

Hello?
-Sir?

Saranya's phone is on.

Which area?
-Kakkan Colony.

Sir!

"Breaking News!"

"The police are closing in
on the culprit!"

"They have confirmed a resident
near the school... "

"... is the perpetrator. "
-Dinner is ready.

"This is our exclusive scoop.
No other media entity is aware of this. "

"Fifteen days ago,
Ms. Saranya was murdered... "

"... at the school she worked in. "
-Brother?

Where are you going?

Mom?

Where are you off to now?

Did you not hear me?

Answer me, damn it!

Who are you, sir?
-What, sir...

Rascal!
-Why strike my son, sir?

Get back!
-After what you did...

Why hit my son?
-... you're chilling at home?

Stay inside! Don't come out!
-Think you can fool the cops?

My son!

Come along!

What did he do wrong?
-Quiet, mom!

Murder!

What are they saying, Guna?

You wretches...
-Guna!

Move aside!
-Why arrest me, sir?

I grant police custody
for five days.

A sensational case.
Deal with it carefully.

Hurry!

This is the home of Guna,
the murder suspect.

Just as he was about to skip town,
the cops arrested him in the nick of time.

Looks like Guna is a sex addict.

Check all his social media handles.
-Yes, sir.

Check if any more women
were affected like this, as well.

Sure, sir.

We are a hardware service agency.

We service computers for large companies
on a contractual basis.

When the NAT Academy filed a complaint
of misbehavior on Guna...

...we told the police to arrest him.

I saw the teacher's phone with him
yesterday.

Is that the teacher's phone, buddy?

Wait outside!

Did you see him hide the iron rod?

I did... but he didn't...

If you suspected it,
why didn't you tell the cops?

We have all the evidence to prove
you committed this rape and murder.

You can't escape!

Looking unruly and weird,
he'd change his hair color every month!

He'd watch porn in our office computer.

He'd take illicit videos
of our female employees.

You do this kind of stuff at work?
-Sir!

Get in!
-Sir!

With no choice, we filed a police complaint
on him.

CCTV footage of Guna, the killer,
behaving indecently with Ms. Saranya...

...in broad daylight has been exclusively
acquired by Sky News!

"Despite Saranya's resistance,
he kept going after her... "

"... stalked her, groped her... "

"The footage of him forcing himself on her
and misbehaving with her is shocking!"

Look how he misbehaves with her!

Freeze the picture!

Guna studied in my college.

He'd torture me
in the name of 'love'!

He's a very toxic guy!

"For women to be safe, such rogues
have to be killed in encounters!"

"Breaking News!"

"Guna's mother and sister
attempted suicide. "

"They're fighting for their lives
at a government hospital. "

He went to prison for harassing women
and got out on bail.

Saranya was the class teacher
of Guna's sister Chitra.

Guna would often go to school to service
laptops and computers.

That's how he met Saranya.

On the day of the crime,
after finishing his computer work...

...Guna must've realized he left his helmet
and came back for it.

Saranya was by herself at the moment.

The watchman wasn't there.
The place was deserted.

He took advantage of the situation.

After the rape,
he took photos and videos of her, sir.

Highly sensitive issue.

Planning and execution
must be perfect!

Roopa!
Ram!

Sir?
-The Commissioner gave the go ahead.

Start the procedures.
-Yes, sir.

He's the rapist.

Instead of getting shot to death,
he gets medical care!

I can sign off on a clean bill of health.
But the X-ray report will give it away!

I don't want to have cases piled on me!
I'm sorry.

What?

Just a minute, doctor!

The Commissioner.

If doing this puts my career in jeopardy,
you need to handle it!

I think we got this one.
Now we just need...

Oh my God!
(Hindi) Where is he?

Guna?

No way...
Guards!

(Hindi) What are you doing?

Nurse! Where's the accused Guna?
-I don't know!

(Hindi) Oh no...
-Check outside!

Ram! You go check there!
-Okay!

Check upstairs!

Look that side!

What happened?

They say he got in an auto and escaped,
ma'am.

First, rename the 'police force'
to 'dunce force'!

Until the killer is hanged...

...we will not evaluate
any twelfth grade board exam papers!

During exam time, the teacher's strike
is happening in full force!

"Schools remain shut down!"

"The futures of millions of students
in Tamil Nadu are at stake!"

We have suspended both of those
police officers.

We'll definitely nab the suspect
within a week.

Thought you'd pop that guy
and build up the government's reputation!

You let him escape
and tarnished us!

Why didn't you shoot him on sight?

If we did, Human Rights would skewer us!

If you can't maintain law and order,
all of you resign!

This government isn't dependent on you.

If the encounter isn't carried out
in a week, we'll do what you say, sir.

Hello?
Athiyan?

The encounter must be finished
within a week.

If not...

Here is my resignation.

Not necessary, sir.

A week is too long.

The department will reclaim its honor
in three days.

That's Athiyan!

Take whatever facilities you require.

Weapons, personnel, money for informants...
I'll give whatever you need!

Those two suspended officers have been
handling this case from the start.

Let that team remain in place.

Okay.

Best of luck.
-Thank you, sir.

Sorry, sir.
Nothing personal.

Due to the pressure we were under,
I snapped at you that day.

That's okay.

Do you know where Guna's mother
and sister are?

They are missing, sir.
We are looking.

This is your office, sir.
I'll be back.

Sir...
-Hello?

Who are you?
-Hello!

I'm here to meet the SP.

The SP?
-Yes.

Now?
-He's my friend!

He's in an important meeting.
Wait outside. I'll check.

Is that so?

If you say so,
I'll even wait in outer space!

Don't miss any details, Roopa.
Come in soon.

Sure, sir.

For the next three days,
forget food, sleep and family!

Got it?
-Yes, sir!

Thank you for trusting us, sir.

This is Battery.

Now on, consider him part of the team.

Hello, sir.

Roopa?
-Sir?

Get Battery up to speed
on the case details.

Sure, sir.
-Not necessary!

I heard everything in detail, sir.

If you say so,
I'll even wait in outer space!

Started your tricks already?

One of the orderlies in the hospital
belongs to Guna's neighborhood.

Claiming Guna escaped in an auto,
he misled the police.

Battery...

I love you, buddy!

Love you too, sir.

You could've just asked him!

He's a friend, sir.

The cops were talking about killing him.

I can sign off on a clean bill of health.
But the X-ray report will give it away!

I don't want to have cases piled on me!

I'm sorry.

What?

Just a minute, doctor!

Look that side!

We played cricket together
when we were kids.

I didn't know what else to do.
So I helped him.

Had he raped and killed your sister...

...would you have still let him go?

Sir...

He said he was going to Kerala, sir.

If he calls, I'll let you know
right away.

Let him go.

But sir...

He's from the slum.
He can't be trusted.

It'll be much safer if he's in our custody.

So you can trust people in penthouses, eh?

He didn't let Guna escape for money.
He did it for friendship.

That one act is enough
to understand who he is.

Guna has no friends or relatives
in Kerala.

According to the location history, he
never travelled to Kerala in the past year.

This is low sugar.

I asked for Horlicks!
-No budget for that!

"No budget?"
-Yes.

Give me 500 rupees, ma'am.

Please, ma'am.

"No budget", it seems!

No excuses about budget anymore!

Tell Ma'am it's for me and she'll pay up!

Were you and Saranya very close, sir?

Even at a crucial moment,
she only tried calling you.

I should've picked up that call.

In a way, I am also responsible
for her death.

The one who did this...

...should not remain alive.

Ma'am!

Give me 500 rupees.
We're out of Horlicks!

I just gave you yesterday!

He doesn't drink it, ma'am!

He gulps it up!

(Hindi) Bloody wastrel!

Who is helping Guna in Kerala?

He'll easily get caught
if he is in Tamil Nadu.

That's probably why
he's hiding in Kerala.

No.

If that's true,
isn't Andhra closer to Chennai?

Put your phone on silent!

This?

Yes, Anbu?
-I need to speak with Sir.

I'm here.
Go ahead!

Guna has two close friends, sir.

They always hang out together.

I haven't seen them here
in four days!

Out of the blue, Satish called me
for the whereabouts of Guna's family.

I asked if he's seen Guna recently
and he hung up immediately!

I'll note down the number.
-Hold on, sir.

7346...

...25...

...4747, sir.

Sir...

If this was your friend,
would you snitch him out like this?

This isn't snitching, Anbu.

Had this been my son,
I'd do the exact same thing.

It's what must be done.

Okay, sir.
-Trace the number's location right away!

Yes, sir. Just thirty minutes!
-Wait!

The phone is switched off!

It was last active
near the Ennore seashore.

You've been casting your net
across Andhra Pradesh and Kerala.

But he's right here,
merrily savoring the seashore breeze!

Now, let's cast the net into the sea!

Check how many boats have been at sea
the past four days.

How does Sir trust you this much?

Because I'm a thief!

I'll remain honest!

You can trust me too!

Any boats been at sea
for the last three to four days?

Dharma's boat hasn't returned.

It's been at sea for four days.

They asked me for diesel.

What is it you want?

So sweet!

Strong source, sir!
We're on our way there now!

Okay. Got it, Harish!

I'm with the DGP right now.
Keep me posted!

Is that clear?
-Copy, sir!

See that one over there, sir?

That's the boat.

The cops have come looking
for you, Dharma!

You've given three guys refuge
in your boat, it seems!

Turn them in and get away!

Don't get into needless trouble!

They're on board!
-They're here!

Cover the rear, Harish!

Don't run!
-Keep running!

Hurry!
-Sir!

Sir! Don't shoot!
-Get back, I say!

Don't, sir!
-Don't shoot!

I'll smash you.
Shut up!

Tell him to drop the knife and surrender,
Roopa.

Drop the knife!
-You'll follow me wherever I go, huh?

I'll surrender in court and testify!

Let him go!

Turn yourself in now
and testify in court!

I don't trust the police!

It's not like you came empty handed.
You had guns and weapons, right?

Tell him we can talk
only after he drops the knife.

We won't hurt you!

Think I don't know what you'll do
if I let him go?

Drop your guns into the sea!

If not,
I'll slit his throat!

Harish!
-Yes, sir?

As the Investigation Officer...

...confirm now!

Is he the criminal?
-100%, sir!

Can't you hear me?
Why keep repeating yourself?

Drop the guns, I say!

When the hunt is on...

...the prey must fall!

Good shot, sir.

Mission accomplished...

...in 48 hours.

Great news, Athiyan!

Proud of you!

As the officers were pushed to a point
where their lives were at risk...

...they had to commit
an encounter killing.

The teachers' protest is over!

The police have our gratitude!

This mongrel deserved to get killed!

Awesome!

God bless you, sir!

Thank you, sir.

This is my real training period.

An encounter in 48 hours? This must be
the world's fastest death sentence!

Wow!
Can we apply for the Guinness book?

By all means!

The public are celebrating the police!

After ten sleepless nights,
we arrested Guna.

With just one shot,
you stole our thunder!

I've never carried out any encounter
for name or fame.

The victims must get justice.

It's the duty of police
to make it happen.

As far as I'm concerned...

...this encounter...

...is our collective tribute to Saranya.

It's nothing to celebrate
or be happy over.

Only the court has the authority
to punish criminals!

Without understanding that...

...the public's endorsement of encounters
will lead to big problems!

Stop it, sir!

Does it matter who has the authority?

He deserved to die!
That's the point!

Had he been before me,
I'd kill him myself and go to jail!

What?
-You dare speak in support of a murderer?

Let go, sir!

Let go!
-Get down from there!

We've filed for an enquiry commission
at the Supreme Court! We won't go easy!

"To probe the encounter killing
done within 48 hours in Chennai... "

"... as requested by
the human rights organizations... "

"... an enquiry commission under
the leadership of Justice Sathyadev... "

"... has been set up
by the Supreme Court. "

Make inquiries about Guna's activities
from the time of murder until his arrest.

He was very violent.

We repeatedly requested him
to surrender.

We had no choice but to do the encounter.

Please sit down.
-Thanks, sir.

Shall we start?

That encounter was inevitable, sir.

You saw the recording of what happened
when we went to arrest him.

For self-defence,
we had to shoot.

That's all, sir.

I'd like to go off the record.
Please wait outside.

Please.

He brutally raped and murdered a girl
who came to Chennai filled with dreams.

You expect me to stand by and watch?

An encounter killing isn't something done
just to punish the criminals.

It's a pre-emptive strike to ensure
such crimes do not happen again.

I acted in accordance
with my conscience.

I didn't call you to debate
the moral implications of encounters.

I wish to say something more important.

Guna, the man you killed
in the name of an 'encounter'...

...could have been innocent.

Usually only police tell tales
with regards to encounters.

Judges have started to spin yarns as well?

So...

Guna is a sex addict who ogles at women
and takes obscene pictures of them.

That's how he behaved around Saranya, too.

When he had the chance, he brutally raped
and murdered her.

Am I right?

Yes.

You should know
that there's another side to Guna.

He is the first engineering graduate
from that slum.

For no charge, he services laptops
given to students by the government.

There is a WhatsApp group
which coordinates all of this.

Do you know
how Guna addresses Saranya there?

"Sister. "

This is Guna's appointment order.

On the day after the murder, he attended
an interview in Hyderabad.

How much more evidence like this
do you need?

Tell me. I can create them.

Saranya's phone was with Guna.

After he raped and murdered her,
he took a video of the same.

That video is on that phone.

We found the murder weapon
in his shop.

What more evidence do you need?

You did not investigate this case, Athiyan.

Your sole purpose of coming to Chennai
was to kill Guna.

Trusting the evidence submitted to you...

...in just 48 hours of taking charge...

...you executed the encounter.

Your hands are stained, officer.

And those are not blood stains.

But, stains of sin.

For your kind information...

...per my record, I have never
subjected innocents to an encounter.

Truth is bitter.

Did you know Guna went for a job interview
to Hyderabad the day after the murder?

No, sir.

I'll WhatsApp you.
Call the company and get the details.

Get all the details and evidence
and keep it ready. I'm on the way.

Play it!

No anxiety or tension.

He looks happy.

Unless he's a psychopath...

...no one can be this casual
after committing a crime.

Guna's Hyderabad travel details.
-Yes, sir!

Let go of me, sir!
-Get in!

What happened?
Anything wrong?

Might be.

It seems like everything is fine.

But something is amiss.

We are very sure, sir.
There is no scope for error.

Sir!

He's a predator, sir.

He was in prison for sexual harassment
and got out on bail.

Do you know who bailed him out?

Saranya!

This has her signature!

Didn't you even notice that?

What kind of cop are you?
Idiot!

Sorry, sir.

Because of the pressure we were under,
I missed it.

But the video of them
arguing on the street?

We can definitely tell it was harassment!

How did you acquire that video?

Who gave it?

I'll check it, sir.

Who gave the Guna footage to our team?

I don't know, ma'am.

It came by courier.

Where did the Guna footage come from?

Just a minute, ma'am.

No address mentioned.

Despite having so many loose ends
in the investigation...

...did you claim you were 100% certain
of Guna's culpability...

...when we were taking him down?

I checked the train passenger list.

Guna didn't go by train.

I checked with private travel services.

He went from Koyambedu to Hyderabad.

The time was 5:30 when Guna was waiting
for the bus.

What time did he call Saranya?

It was 5:20, sir.

So Guna didn't call Saranya from school.

It was from the bus stand.

We let the culprit escape...

...and killed an innocent.

What we carried out
wasn't an encounter.

It was murder.

Within just 48 hours...

...if the police deems a citizen guilty
and can execute an encounter killing...

...what are the courts for?

So is it okay for trials to be delayed
in court for 48 years, sir?

Justice that has been delayed
for 48 years...

...and hasty justice executed in 48 hours
are both extreme.

Justice delayed is justice denied.

Justice hurried...

...is justice buried.

Injustice can be defeated only by justice.

Not by another injustice.

We've had a slip in the cracks.

Search the place thoroughly!
-Yes, sir.

The inquiry is over
and the criminal is dead.

Why are we doing this again?

'Who can ever survive... '

'... the sword-piercing hunt of fate?'

'Will justice just perish... '

'... in the daily toll of life?'
-We don't know where his family is.

Guna learned of her death
only on the following day.

He left his phone on the bus counter
when he went to Hyderabad.

I brought it back.

Sorry, sir.

Re-examination yielded nothing.

'The heart trembles to speak... '

'... when it knows it has sinned'

'Words scattered
and vision abandoned... '

'... strike a blow on life's core'

'Even when I close my eyes... '

'... tears snap me awake'

'A thousand questions within'

'Truth seems to shrug its shoulders'

'Who can ever survive... '

'... the sword-piercing hunt of fate?'

Find his mother and sister.

We'll take care of them.

Shall I play it, sir?

"We have all the evidence to prove
you committed this rape and murder. "

"You can't escape!"

"Confess, and your sentence
will be reduced. "

"I didn't do it, sir. "

Guna is saying something, sir.

But the police have released
a muted video.

Use the lip-sync technique
to decipher what Guna said.

It could be useful.

We'll try, sir.

Shall we release evidence that Guna
was not in town on the day of the murder?

That could be useful to prove
Guna wasn't guilty.

But do we have any evidence to prove
what happened was a fake encounter?

Didn’t this encounter take place due to
pressure from the public, media and govt. ?

No.

For the police department...

No matter how much pressure...

...they never carry out encounters
on politicians, wealthy people...

...and those backed by caste
and religion.

One thing is very clear.

The victims of police encounters
tend to be from weaker sections of society!

This must end!

That creep Guna gave me a love letter
back in college.

I complained to the department head.

That's why they suspended him.

He insulted me by asking
why I didn't say it to his face?

What's so insulting about it?

How was he insulting you?

He addressed me in
a rude way.

Rascal!

You scolded him with words like 'creep'
and 'rascal'!

You said he ought to be killed
over a rude form of address?

I gave a written statement about everything
I know about Guna.

I have nothing new to say.

Can you give me your Aadhar card,
ma'am?

Sure.

Oh my God!

You look beautiful even in your Aadhar card
photo!

How is that possible?

Battery...

"I told you I did nothing wrong!"

"I'll surrender in court and testify!"

"I told you I did nothing wrong!"

"I'll surrender in court and testify!"

Excuse me.

Is this what Guna said that day?

Yes, sir.
-Yes.

They killed someone
who was going to surrender, sir.

This is a flagrant breach
of human rights!

"Guna's encounter is 100% fake!"

"We'll submit a report to the court
very soon. "

"The police officers at fault
need to answer for it in court. "

Like you said,
my hands are stained by sin.

I don't know how to atone for it.

The police department decided
Guna didn't deserve to live.

This society deemed none of his
family members deserved to live either.

That's why I got them here
away from the media's glare.

Please forgive me, ma'am.

You shoot me yourself!

Shoot me until your rage goes away!

Stop it, Athiyan!

What are you doing?

You didn't stop with killing my son.

Why did you accuse him
of raping and murdering a woman too?

What did we do wrong?

If you believe you have sinned...

...prove to the world
my son is innocent!

If you can't...

...bury us next to him!

Bury us!

Don't say that, ma'am.

I swear upon my job
that I worship.

I will prove it with evidence
that your son did nothing wrong.

If you submit the report, it will be used
as reason to stop the investigation.

Please give me some time.

I'll find the culprit
and present him in court.

From the day between Saranya's death
and Guna's arrest...

...check all CCTV cameras from her school
to his house.

That's a slum, sir.

They don't have a lot of CCTV cameras.

I realize there's not a lot.

But how many were there?

Sir...

You didn't check, right?
-Sorry, sir.

It's this kind of pre-opinion
that has made the case fail!

"A fair-skinned man won't lie.
A rich man won't steal. "

"These guys are terrorists.
Those guys are jokers!"

With such judgments,
investigations will go wrong!

Police should not take any side!
Got it?

Yes, sir.

See if that house has CCTV cameras.

There's one here.

Hurry.

I've asked him to copy the footage.

We got a lead in the CCTV footage, sir.

This is from Kakkan Colony,
fifteen days after Saranya's murder.

While going, he's got a bag in hand.

On the way back,
he is empty handed.

He's heading towards the school.

This footage is from a nearby petrol bunk
on the same day.

The guy who got off the car was careful
to not have his face caught on camera.

Fake license plate, too.

That's what is suspicious.

No need for suspicion!

He is the murderer!

We can't even see his face.

But you tied him to the murder?

Deciding so blindly
will lead to more mistakes.

Do not rush it, sir.

Display the forensic evidence.

Note it!

Play previous one!

Jackpot!

Send the fingerprints from the crime scene
to the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana police.

It will match!

This is a big breakthrough
in this case, sir!

Yes.

This isn't a 'rush'.
It's 'speed'.

Hanu Reddy.

(Telugu) A contract killer
based out of Kadapa.

There are many problems
in illegal quarries.

(Telugu) Murders, thefts, kidnapping...

(Telugu) There's a going rate
for each kind of job.

(Telugu) No!
Please don't!

(Telugu) But so far, there's no rape case
against him.

(Telugu) He's very powerful in Kadapa.

So...

(Telugu) Tread carefully.

(Telugu) Head Constable Srinivasa Rao
will help you out.

No need to pay, ma'am.
-Got PhonePe?

Police!
-(Telugu) Alright, sir.

Cops are the same in every city, huh?

Super!
-Let's go!

There's an easy way to lose weight.
Shall I tell you, sir?

(Telugu) Tell me, sir.

Pay for your meals.
It'll drop like flies!

Oh come along, sir!
We got plenty to do!

That is Hanu Reddy's house.
His men are always there.

Hello, Baby!

No, no...
Take!

It's a good idea.

You got brains too, huh?
-Take!

Without brains,
one can become a cop.

But not a thief!

Now on, they are our friends!

Super, Battery!

Cops from Chennai are here, Hanu Reddy!
Don't get caught! Get out of there!

Doesn't matter how many come.
Plenty of space for burials here!

The phone!
See who's calling!

Damn!
He spotted me! Scoot!

Barely escaped!

Hanu Reddy's men are coming!
Don't get caught!

The one to take out Battery
is yet to be born, ma'am!

Actually ma'am, two of them
were born a long time ago.

I just wasn't aware.

Battery!

I'm royally busted, ma'am!

I'm not even married yet!
Please save me!

Sir?

(Telugu) Kill and bury him right here!

The enquiry is ongoing.
Mr. Athiyan is interrogating him.

They'd always make internet calls.

For the right price,
I'll work for anyone.

I don't know who these people are.

I'd get jobs involving assault
or intimidation. And I'd carry it out.

Like that, I was told to kill
the teacher right away.

Hey!
Stop!

But the first attempt failed.
-Learn to drive!

They pressured me to kill her
on that same day.

Upon following her, I realized
she was by herself at school.

So I planned to do it there.

Wasn't murder your assignment?

Why did you rape her?

They specifically asked
to carry out a rape along with murder.

They even...

...paid extra.

So you'll rape if they bloody pay you?

Roopa!

If a woman is murdered,
the police would look for motive.

If it was rape as well, they said
the cops will easily close the case.

They told me leave her phone and
the iron rod in the shop after two weeks.

And to leave the helmet
at school.

I swear...

I do not know anything else, sir.

Put him in remand.
-Yes, sir.

Thank you.
-My pleasure, sir.

So no encounter?

Sir has changed a lot!

Ma'am!

Sir!

Hey, stop!

Now the killer is dead.

Whom do you intend to punish
by continuing to investigate?

Hanu Reddy is just a hired gun.

The real culprit is still free
after hoodwinking the entire police force.

How can we spare him?

We need to punish him!
-Sir!

Only a few of us know
the department was hoodwinked.

This man might make it public!

This is like us digging our graves!

You brought me in to close this case.

How can I abandon it halfway?

The most I can give you is one month!

One more mistake,
I'm shutting down this investigation.

That won't be necessary.

I've already begun!

I'll wrap it up
within the time you allotted!

A metro train track is in the backdrop.

They've cropped the video
to conceal the location.

Chennai Metro trains run on elevated tracks
or underground tracks.

Hardly four or five run on the surface.

Split up and search all of them!
-Sure, sir.

Definitely we will get some lead.

The footage is from this CCTV camera.

It goes to the metro train shed.

This is the company that filed
a woman harassment complaint on Guna!

Congratulations!

Wish you all success...

You're right, sir.

This CCTV footage is from our office.

I'll look more into this
and update you, sir.

Dear students!

Only those who know the value of time
can be achievers.

The time you take to get to
the coaching center from home...

...the effort you put in,
the money you spend...

...the time your parents,
who accompanied you, spend...

...are all expensive.

NAT Academy will bring about
a new revolution.

This will be the last in-person class
I teach.

From here on, all your classes
will be available online!

"Are you ready to crack your exams?"

"If you want to conquer
the entrance exam... "

...the competitive spirit prevalent
in sports is what students need to have!

Beyond the teaching process...

...the coaching process
is what will get you 100% results!

"From the next academic year... "

"... to provide coaching for students
from public schools for entrance exams... "

"... the government has signed a 250 billion
rupee deal with the NAT Academy. "

One tab, one app for a brighter future.

"Check with Ms. Daisy if Saranya told her
anything about NAT Academy, Thara. "

Enquire with Saranya's colleagues and
the teachers' union about NAT Academy.

To get the tablets repaired,
Saranya called NAT Academy.

Smart Students Scheme?
-Yes.

We don't handle repair and service
for them.

It's clearly stated in the contract.

The upgraded model of a new tablet
costs just 50,000 rupees.

Please connect me to your manager.

Sorry, ma'am.
Thank you.

This is a Chinese model, ma'am.

Not worth a dime!

The President and the Secretary
have gone to Trichy for a zonal meeting.

I'll take these albums.
-Okay.

Sir?

Guna's sister Chitra, sir.

When did this happen?

Why did Saranya carry out this protest?

What do you know about
the NAT Academy?

Tell me, ma'am.

I'm not educated.

But both my kids study well.

See you, mom. Bye, Chitra.
-Be safe.

You take it from here.
It's good to go.

What do you wish to study, Chitra?

You became an engineer.
I'll become a doctor!

You study.
I got this.

The second that salesman set foot
in my house, everything went to hell.

Your sister falls in the underachiever
category.

It'll be hard for her to clear
the NEET exam and become a doctor.

Premium package will do it.
Only costs 600 grand.

"Six hundred grand?"

Where'll you get that much money?

She'll definitely pass
if she goes for coaching?

Don't you know, bro?

NAT Academy has a 100% success rate!

University professors from abroad
take classes!

If she joins our classes, you may as well
start calling her 'Dr. Chitra' right away!

Can you hear me or not?

Where do you have
so much money?

We'll arrange the bank loan ourselves.

You only need to pay
the monthly EMIs.

Will your father pay that?
Won't that be on our heads?

We will now learn...

...about the ventricles of the heart
and its functions. The heart's...

"... then the body will?
You have four options. "

"The unit of frequency... "
-"If we apply a force against... "

"Sliding friction is less than stat... "

Natural disasters which affect humans.

Always sitting in front of the TV!

Your brother is paying a fortune for you.
You just don't seem to care.

Look at you!
He's the one to be blamed!

"Time taken by an object
to complete one oscillation... "

"Mitochondria is the power house... "

You oaf!

Do you come to school to sleep?

"... which is equal to 25x10^-4m^2. "

"And the formula would be
pressurep=f/a. "

What are you gawking at, Chitra?

I don't follow, ma'am.

"Subjects can be taught. "

"It's not my fault
if you can't follow English!"

"Who knows how many patients
you are going to kill!"

"Your brother is paying a fortune for you.
You just don't seem to care. "

"Don't worry about money, Chitra. "
-"You oaf!"

"Just focus on studies. "

"Who knows how many patients
you are going to kill!"

"Chitra, you sleepyhead!
You can't even follow class lessons!"

"You think you can handle
NAT Academy classes?"

What are you doing, Chitra?

I can't stand the pressure
of the coaching class!

NAT Academy is a fraudulent
coaching center!

They've cheated many like you
by making them take bank loans!

We mustn't spare them!

Do not deceive!

Do not deceive!

Is it a business?

Is education a business?

Is it a business?

Is education a business?

Do not deceive!

Do not deceive!

The bank says all the money
went to NAT Academy.

Why should we pay EMI
for a service we don't use?

The contract makes it clear:
No refunds if you discontinue.

Didn't you read it?

Because of that company, my daughter's
education and my son's money were lost!

Sir!

The police seized Guna's laptop and phone
when they arrested him.

Only after that were the morphed photos and
videos of Saranya transferred to his phone.

We have Hanu Reddy's confession!

Let's interrogate Natraj in custody.

We know Saranya and Guna
went up against NAT Academy.

But how can you connect that
with murder?

There's no evidence that Natraj hired
Hanu Reddy.

If your suspect was an ordinary man
like Guna...

...you'd have arrested him in a jiffy and
announced your victory to the media, yes?

Get the warrant ready!
-Yes, sir.

No, Roopa.
Hold on.

Whatever it is, let's discuss with
the Commissioner and then proceed.

I don't want to take any risks
anymore.

I need to explain a few things
to him.

Wait outside, everyone.
-Yes, sir.

Your pen, sir.

Keep it there and go, man!

Let's watch a show now!

Come, ma'am!

Please sit!
Closer!

'Nothing in this world makes sense'

'Something is happening'

'It is so mysterious'

'Nothing in this world makes sense'

"Cops from Chennai are here,
Hanu Reddy! Don't get caught!"

"Get out of there!"

Do you know whom Hanu Reddy
is speaking with?

I do!

K. Harish Kumar, IPS!

"It was an internet call!"

"The number can't be traced!"

"The same can't be said
for an IP address! And we found it!"

You shouldn't have been hasty and called
through your home Wi-Fi! But you did!

And got busted!

I know how to get out of this.

I'll deal with it in court.

Only if I let you get that far!

You know about me, don't you?

Sorry!

I can pop you here
and justify my act in the court...

...and go about my way!

Will you tell the truth
or will you lose your life?

What's going on in there?

Ashok!
Come here!

What?
-What do you got there?

Mr. Harish wanted tea.

He's drinking out of a hose!

"Drinking out of a hose?"
Hey!

"I joined the police force
to accomplish great things. "

"But I was a powerless paper pusher
for three years. "

"Through my friend, I sought out Swetha
for help. "

You won't forget me
once you reach high places, will you?

Come now, Minister!

Like you can't make things happen!

"In return, she'd ask for a few
small favors. And I'd oblige. "

I'll take care, ma'am.

Get in!
-What is this, sir?

"I was under a lot pressure to wrap up
Saranya's case quickly. "

"Our investigation kept hitting dead-ends. "

"That was when Natraj confessed
to this crime for saving his business. "

Go on.

I had no other choice.

Now I need your help.

"They offered ten million to frame Guna
for this crime. "

"If he was killed via encounter, I'd get
fame, a promotion, everything!"

"Or I'd be back to being a paper pusher!"

Fine.

Release the CCTV footage.
We'll handle it.

Now you are a witness
to Natraj's culpability!

He'd offer billions
to have you killed.

Shall I accept his offer?

Now I realize why people like Sathyadev
are so opposed to encounter killings!

Some cop, you are!

Poor chap.

He slipped in the bathroom.

Get an arrest warrant ready
for him and Natraj!

You cannot interrogate a woman
after 6 PM.

I need to speak to my lawyer.

I'll tell you.

But it has to be off the record.

NAT Academy
was India's best coaching center.

But that wasn't good enough for Natraj.

Nat wanted every student of this country
to be tutored by our academy.

How is it possible, Nat?

To watch a film,
people had to go to theatres.

A streaming service said all you need
to watch films is an internet connection.

Today, their subscriber base
is 260 million.

My plan is along these lines, too.

No classrooms, no infrastructure,
no capital, nothing!

There'll be NAT Academy students
in every household!

But in India, more than 70% of students
are from the lower income category.

How will they be able to pay
for the subscription?

"We will study. We will study.
Even if we have to beg, we will study. "

Those 70% are those who'd even beg
for alms to make their kids study, sir.

They'd pledge their wedding bands,
lands and homes to make it happen!

Paupers will even take loans
to educate their kids!

At the U. S. investor meet, with a target
of ten million students...

...we got an investment
of two billion dollars.

The online coaching program
was a huge success initially.

The underprivileged took loans and through
EMI schemes, they enrolled their kids.

But students couldn't follow
online teaching.

Parents couldn't keep up with EMI payments.
Many withdrew halfway through.

Does money grows in trees?
-Look...

We need our money back!
-They need to be arrested!

It took some threatening
to survive.

The business incurred heavy losses.

Through a master plan,
Nat proved he was a game changer.

He convinced the minister he'd provide
entrance coaching for public school kids.

The public will revere you
as the next Kamaraj!

The minister was spooked by the media
and the opposition's response...

...towards privatization
of government education.

Don't worry, sir.
I'll handle it.

We used some misdeeds of
public school students to our advantage.

We made everyone believe good education
won't be provided at public schools.

Only if the Smart Students Scheme
went off without a hitch...

...would we get a revenue
of 250 billion rupees.

Guna found out our company was
spreading negativity about public schools.

From our servers, he retrieved
online transfer details...

...of our transactions
to influencers.

We shut him up by arresting him
on false charges.

Only then we found out through our lawyer
that Saranya was involved in this.

We learned Saranya collected information
about NAT students...

...who couldn't handle the pressure
and committed suicide.

She filed a case in the High Court
to get a stay order on this scheme!

That girl is pretty aggressive.
Tread carefully.

Today, an entrance exam is akin to war.

Our coaching is mandatory
for public school kids to ace the exam.

If an entrance exam is a war,
who are the casualties?

Underprivileged children, right?

I don't know how many more will die
once this project is in effect!

Saranya...

Everyone's integrity has a price.

What is your price?

Ten million?

Twenty million?

There's a price for men like you who ruin
the dreams of the poor for money, too!

You need to pay for it!

Seems the price of integrity is death!

That woman must not be alive tomorrow.

If a woman is killed,
the police will look for motive.

Ensure they don't suspect us.

Are you sure?

We have all the evidence.
We can't let it go!

We need to take it to the press!

We can't trust the cops or the press!

We'll handle it in court!

My business is what matters
to me.

What is this, sir?
-Out of the way!

Don't you feel any guilt?

A multi-billion rupee business!

We can't just stand by and watch
it be destroyed by an ordinary teacher!

We shouldn't spare them, sir!

You can't do anything about it.

Nat will go to any extreme
to save his business.

You won't even get past
our office security!

'Above and beyond'

'One look at you
and hearts go into a frenzy'

'Hearts go into a frenzy'

'Goosebumps at an all-time high'

Quite the epic entrance, sir!

But it was wrong of you to break in
without proper permission.

Cops don't need permission
to meet criminals.

Anticipatory bail!

Heard you worked hard to find out
Guna was not in town when Saranya died.

I wasn't even in the country!

Flight tickets, stay details and
immigration stamps. All in there!

The truth can't be buried
for long.

It will rise eventually.

If it rises,
I'll just bury it again.

Who is the most educated lawyer
among you, bro?

Come to the point.

Anticipatory bail forbids
an arrest.

But would it forbid interrogations?

If they refuse to cooperate, an FIR can be
filed and arrests can be made, right?

Shall we go?

If they don't cooperate...

...they can be dragged out,
isn't it, Mr. Lawyer?

The message is for you.
Take a look!

It's your transfer order.
You can no longer investigate this case.

The DGP is calling.

What is this, sir?

Why did you go to arrest him
without informing the higher-ups?

You can't even take me out
of my office elevator.

You know everything
and yet you do this, sir?

Leave the premises now, Athiyan.
That is what is best for everyone.

Put a hand on him, the minister calls!

Letting go of this case
is what is best for the department.

Hanu Reddy got paid by Natraj
to kill Saranya.

Harish got paid by Natraj
to frame Guna for this crime.

How is the police
any different from those henchmen?

High ranking cops and politicians
come running to save a criminal!

The court gives anticipatory bail
in 30 minutes!

Excellent, sir.
Truly excellent!

No... don't get emotional, Athiyan.

That's the prime enemy of our job.

They've transferred you
to the Economic Offenses wing.

You can serve the public there, too.

No matter where you transfer me,
I am still the very same policeman.

No one can save him from me.

We have thirteen open cases
pertaining to chit-fund scams.

Eleven cases for emu meat scams.

Seven cases for jewelry loan scams.

Promising employment abroad, a company
swindled thirty five million rupees.

We'll deal with these small fries later,
Nazeema.

Right now,
we need to hunt a humungous whale!

Aware of the NAT Academy?

How many companies
does their chairman Natraj own?

His foreign investment details.

His bank balance.
Outstanding loans.

Collect NAT Academy's
entire financial details immediately.

Yes, sir.

Nazeema!

We are handling this case officially.

But our office...

It's not in here.

This is our new office, sir!

How is it?

Roopa Kiran and Battery.
-Hello, ma'am.

Nazeema.
-Ma'am...

Know how to make tasty biryani?
I eat very well!

She's the DSP, man!

Biryani, sir!

Naughty boy!

They are unofficially assisting
in this case.

NAT Academy is an edu-tech company.

How can we investigate them?

Why are chit-fund scams
considered economic offences?

Because they give a false commitment
of a 150% return on investment.

It is a false promise if a business raises
people's hopes and swindles their money.

Only 10,000 seats can be offered
per year...

...in private and public medical colleges
in Tamil Nadu.

That is what's available.
Nothing more.

But Natraj?

He makes false promises to millions
of students to make them doctors...

...and is swindling billions from them
in the name of fees!

Isn't this an economic offence?

It's like this packet of chips.

It looks huge
but has nothing in it.

If we investigate NAT academy, how can
Natraj be punished for Saranya's murder?

If the Smart Students Scheme comes
to effect...

...it'll ruin
economically backward students.

Saranya lost her life
to make sure that doesn't happen.

Punishing Natraj isn't enough.

We can't let that scheme
see the light of day!

Only then Saranya's death
would have some meaning.

Sure, sir.

I worked for a year
at NAT's marketing department.

In that year alone,
fifteen students committed suicide!

They only wanted to cover it up!
Not fix it!

In India, weddings and education
are big business!

One spends all their live savings
on either one of these.

"More than 60% of a family's income
goes towards education. "

The advocate mentioned by the CEO
never crossed our radar! Find him!

I need to meet the advocate.

He's out of town.
Come back in a week.

Ma'am!

Who are they?

NAT Academy alumni who became doctors,
engineers and IAS candidates.

What about them?

Ma'am!

He is a model!

How did you find out?

I use this brand too!

All of NAT's commercials are forgeries.

People are attracted by models featured
in them, who pretend to be NAT alums.

Students enroll through EMI schemes.

The BUDS Act.

A special law for investigating
economic offences.

Section twenty one of this act states
honoring a commitment is pivotal.

Honoring a commitment.

If complaints are filed from those
who pay to enroll here...

...that the academy did not honor
their commitment...

...then we have a strong case!

Only if a complaint is filed that the scam
is worth more than thirty million...

...can we investigate.

But we only have Chitra's complaint.

So we need to get more complaints.

Yes! Here's what is unique
about the BUDS Act.

One proven case of cheating
results in a three year sentence.

If ten cases are proved,
that's thirty years!

100 proven cases
leads to a 300 year sentence!

He'll be in prison until he dies!

Only if those like you who were cheated
by NAT Academy file a complaint...

...can the SP take action.

Ma'am!

They sent rogues to our house
to threaten us!

As I had a young kid,
I stood back.

Now the SP is with us, right?
I'll file a case!

I didn't just lose my money!

I lost my seventeen year old daughter
too!

We are done sacrificing children
in the name of entrance exams every year!

I'll file a case, ma'am!

This is the headmaster
of Pechiparai School.

Through every teachers association
in Tamil Nadu...

...get complaints from every student!

"Will the lawyer speak up?"

"Or should bullets speak to him?"
The SP wants to know.

The gun is loaded, right?

Okay.

I'll take that!

He said he'll give all the documents
only with you. I'll share his number.

Something's not right, Nat.

Athiyan is planning something big!

They're attacking from several directions
at once.

That's what we need to do too.

Why are you so invested
in this case?

When everyone saw me as a thief...

...only the SP and Saranya
saw me as a human being.

Hi!

Please wait there.
I'll collect it later.

Hey!

Do you want to die first
or your wife to go before you?

He hung up on me!

Ma'am?

Visitors must have directions,
right?

Don't, ma'am!

Hold on, ma'am!
I'm coming!

Super, ma'am!

Hurry, guys!
Come on!

Sir!

Tell your wife to stop shooting!

We'll surrender!

Moron!
Does any wife listen to her husband?

Hang up!

Sir!

Ms. Swetha took all the important evidence
from me.

The package Saranya sent
has everything.

So why are you torturing me?

"Package"?

Guna said it was sent to you.

The lawyer said Saranya sent me
a package.

But I didn't get anything.

Guna left his phone on the bus counter
before going to Hyderabad.

Complaints filed for
Natraj's financial scams.

False promises for medical seats,
engineering seats and jobs abroad.

A scam across many districts.
A racket worth billions!

Here's the evidence.

About twenty billion rupees!

The sweat of the underprivileged.

We can take him out now, right?

Try reaching him on the landline!

Keep trying!
-Try to connect!

No signal.
They put up a jammer.

They're methodically doing this
on a Friday evening!

You can only get bail on Monday.

Would be best if you came quietly.

'Behold the Super Star'

'The hunter has arrived...
Take a look'

'Behold his magnetic style'

'He's in a league of his own,
making history with his story'

'Behold the Super Star'

No one can save you!

Come on out!

'Behold the Super Star'

'The hunter has arrived...
Take a look'

'Behold his magnetic style'

'A bad guy to some, he can appear'

Move!

Move!
Give way!

We will get bail on Monday!
-Should've ended him earlier!

By then, the SP shouldn't be alive.
Get hitmen from any country!

Back off, I say!

Have him refund the fees
of the students.

I'll record my statement in court, too.

As a public prosecutor,
I'll do my best.

Let's discuss this outside.

Athiyan?

Just that...

We found no evidence to prove
Natraj had Saranya killed.

I had promised Guna's mother
I'd prove to the world...

...that he was innocent.

Just do as I say!

Go meet the public prosecutor!

I'll pay anything!

I need to make bail by Monday morning!

Our plan must not backfire this time!

Sure, Nat!
I'm on it!

On the date you mentioned
the sender's name...

Yes!
Saranya is here!

It was sent to one Mr. Athiyan
in Nagercoil.

The address wasn't correct,
so it was returned.

Saranya's number is listed as a contact!

Sir, please...

What was in the package?

It says 'electronics'.

I need the package!
Bring it!

And you are?

Why must we give it to you?

"Who am I"?

I'm Battery!
Assistant Commissioner!

This is my assistant Roopa.
Show your ID!

Sorry, sir.

It's okay.
Sit down.

Look it up!

We dispatch undelivered packages
to the godown.

You'll need to check there, sir.

Where did you keep hard disks?

Electronic item, huh?

We've kept it there
to auction it off!

Please take the only item
you came here for.

We need to check them all
to find out.

For now,
all of it are our packages!

I'll refrain from coming to court.

That's my commitment.

Thank you.

Found anything?
-Nothing yet, sir.

Sir?

Thank you.

Sir...

It's Saranya, sir!

"To ensure the Smart Students Scheme
does not make it to public schools... "

"... Guna and I tried to expose NAT Academy
with evidence. "

"I'll send this video with all the evidence
Guna and I collected, to you. "

We got it, Battery!

We got it, Roopa!

This evidence will suffice
to prove Guna's innocence!

This will suffice!

You sly dog!

You criminal!

You naughty boy!

What a great job you've done!

I can give you anything for this!

Ask away!

I'll give you anything!

Can I give you a hug?

Come here!

Sir...

Come on!

Battery...

Don't leave me!

Battery...

Don't leave me!

Don't leave me!

Battery?

Battery...

You've left me behind...

I need a signature.
Who is here for Patrick?

Your son, sir?

Don't think you have won
because you had me arrested.

Think you get it now.

I'll be out on bail tomorrow!

You retire in two years, right?

But this case will drag on and on
for twenty years!

Within a year, people will forget
all about it...

...and will come to me to make their kids
doctors and engineers!

I can't remain doing nothing till then!

Like India, there are many countries...

...who believe
in the power of education.

I'll spread my wings everywhere!

You and your law can't even touch
a damn strand of my hair!

"You and your law can't even touch
a damn strand of my hair!"

Yes, uncle?

I've sent you a few videos.

Open new accounts in all social media
services and share them immediately.

No one must now from which country
this is coming from.

Sure, uncle!

Where's your aunt?
-Right here!

Go ahead!

I'm going directly to the media...
-Don't worry about a thing.

Go right ahead!

A video of Saranya from the channel
'Whistleblowers' is going viral!

"In our country, money gets you one kind
of education. No money gets you another!"

"But the same kind of examinations
for all!"

"Doesn't this seem unfair?"

"Without passing entrance exams,
underprivileged kids can't become doctors. "

"They can't write entrance exams
without coaching. "

"Without money,
they can't go for coaching!"

"Take a loan, struggle,
commit suicide!"

"But you can't become a doctor!"

"A girl came home and told us to join
classes saying our son would earn a lot!"

"I signed where they asked me to
and now I'm a debtor!"

"'They're pressuring me a lot, dad!'"

"She kept saying she couldn't study. "

"When I asked for my money back
to shift to another coaching center... "

"... the academy refused to refund me!"

"I told her to stay the course. "

"Believing her father
gave up on her... "

"... my daughter took her life!"

"When Natraj called me to his office
yesterday... "

"... despite Guna's pleas not to go,
I went. "

"As Guna feared, Natraj tried to kill me
by having me run over by a truck today!"

"We don't just want a quality education.
We want equality in education!"

"Even if I were to die to make this happen,
as a teacher, I'm proud to do so. "

The Smart Students Scheme!

The one who used mercenaries
to kill Saranya who fought against it...

"... is Natraj, the chairman
of NAT Academy. "

"Police officer Harish took a bribe
from Natraj... "

"... accumulated false evidence
against Guna... "

"... and framed him. "

"Guna is innocent. "

"Guna had nothing to do
with Saranya's rape and murder. "

For killing him in haste...

"... I seek forgiveness from Guna's family
and from the public. "

"I'll face any inquiry deemed by law
over this incident. "

"Thank you. "

Oh my God!
They shot an innocent man!

Isn't that a sin?

Don't we have a share of this sin?

Didn't we believe
he had to be killed, too?

We never once questioned
if he was truly guilty!

"SP Athiyan... "

Shit!

We're banning that coaching academy!

The government will make every deal
with the company null and void.

We have an arrest warrant.

Shoot him!
-Shoot the culprit!

Shoot him!
-Shoot Natraj Shanmugam to death!

Shoot him!
-Shoot the culprit!

Shoot him!
-Shoot Natraj Shanmugam to death!

Shoot him!

Avoid routes with public protests.

It's our responsibility to get him to court
safe and secure. Understand?

Kill him!
-Kill the corporate criminal!

Kill him!
-Kill the corporate criminal!

Kill him!
-Kill the corporate criminal!

Kill him!
-Kill the corporate criminal!

Bloody rascal!
You must not be spared!

Kill the corporate criminal!

Impose a ban!
-Impose a ban on NAT Academy!

Impose a ban!

Hang him!
-Hang the culprit!

Kill him!
-Kill Natraj Shanmugam!

What do we not want?
-A legal prosecution!

What do we want?
-An encounter attack!

What do we want?
-An encounter attack!

What do we want?
-An encounter attack!

The people are calling for
Natraj to be executed by encounter!

What's your take on this?
-Look!

My stand remains the same!

An encounter killing
is never the solution!

The people must demand
speedy justice!

Not hasty justice!

Hang the culprit!

Hang him!
-Hang Natraj Shanmugam!

Get back!

Hang Natraj Shanmugam!

Hang him!
-Hang the culprit!

Hang him!
-Hang Natraj Shanmugam!

Your Honor! For such an important case,
the public prosecutor failed to turn up!

All of Tamil Nadu
is against Natraj!

We've filed a petition at the Supreme Court
to shift the case to another state!

I request
that Mr. Natraj be granted bail...

...and this case be postponed.
-Your Honor!

If Natraj is granted bail at this time,
he'll flee the country!

Thus, I ask on behalf of the police
that his request for bail is denied.

Pull over the media vehicles.
They're broadcasting everything live!

Stop them now!

Saranya and Guna...

...found convincing evidence...

...that NAT Academy was exploiting
underprivileged children.

Within hours of Saranya recording a video
about her life being in danger...

...she was brutally raped and murdered.

Cheating underprivileged children...
Murdering Saranya...

Framing Guna for it...
Misleading the police...

Crime after crime after crime!

Natraj's list of crimes
appears to have no end in sight!

I have stated all of this in the annexure
to our report.

Please have a look.

By having an innocent man like Guna
killed in an encounter...

...this case has already seen
a huge blunder.

Granting Natraj bail
and perpetuating another blunder...

...is something this court
must not permit!

This case must be thoroughly
investigated...

...and this court must sentence the culprit
with the highest possible punishment!

Education alone...

...can determine the futures
of underprivileged students!

It shouldn't become
a business of the wealthy!

Education must never turn into
a business of the wealthy!

Only then...

Only when education and justice
are equally endowed to all...

...people will stop clamoring
for an encounter...

...and trust the legal system!

This is the only solution!

Get a shot of the inside!

What's wrong?
-No one inside!

No one is inside?

While being transported to court...
-Control room? The van is empty!

My client Natraj won't flee anywhere.

The suspect Natraj escaped!

"Natraj, who was being transported
from Puzhal Jail to court... "

"... is no longer in the police vehicle!"

"No one else is in the vehicle, either!
This may be a conspiracy by the police... "

To stop Natraj from fleeing the country...

...his passport must be declared invalid
immediately!

Listen carefully, Nat!

You can't go to any airport!

So take this chopper!

A ship is waiting 200 nautical miles away
in international waters!

Once you board the ship,
you can go to any country!

Please be safe, Nat!

'Behold the Super Star'

'The hunter has arrived...
Take a look'

'Behold his magnetic style'

'He's in a league of his own,
making history with his story'

'Behold the Super Star'

'Who is the Numero Uno?'

'A bad guy to some, he can appear'

'But impossible not to revere'

Surrender!

You'll at least remain alive
in prison.

Or you'll die right here.

The choice is yours.

So many armed men here.

And you say you'll arrest me?

You got a lot of guts!

Easy!
Easy, guys!

Relax!

When the hunt is on...

Arrest him!

"In the murder cases of Saranya
and Patrick... "

"... this court finds Natraj guilty. "

"As the charges against him have been
proven beyond reasonable doubt... "

"... this court sentences Natraj
to a life sentence. "

"This court orders all of the assets
of NAT Academy be split up... "

"... and distributed to those affected
by the company, compounded with interest. "

Good!

Upon knowing you're guilty,
I could've just shot you and moved on.

But your death shouldn't be so simple.

How many billions you would've swindled
from the underprivileged...

...by promising them degrees and jobs?

Because of men like you, those kids
can't find jobs to match their education...

...work day and night, weather be damned,
as delivery boys...

...just for basic sustenance!

The dreams their parents would have had!

You thought you could get away
with ruining the dreams of so many...

...and live a lavish life abroad
and we must just sit back and watch, huh?

One mustn't believe they can get away
with crime just because they're rich!

Everyone will realize that even if they are
big shots, cops will arrest them...

...the public will skewer them,
and the courts will punish them swiftly!

People like you shouldn't see death
in a simple, single bullet.

You need to die in prison
every single day, day after day!

Thought you could easily get away
from me, didn't you?

When I am on the hunt...

...the prey will fall!

Bye!

Twenty people were killed
in a police encounter...

...in an Andhra forest
for smuggling red sandalwood.

All of them were woodcutters.

In this particular smuggling racket
that runs in the billions...

...there is a huge network that includes
agents, smugglers, the forest department...

...the police and politicians.

When the government is under pressure
to stop the smuggling...

...they shield the wealthy and subject
woodcutters to encounters.

And the police claim they've taken
strict action against smuggling!

When citizens have issues...

...the first place they trust
to resolve it is the police station.

That's why the police are given guns
which take lives, as weapons.

A finger should not pull
a gun's trigger.

The conscience should.

Police are not hunters.

We are protectors.

Beep.
