.
I'm really scared looking at things that are happening out here.
It's not what I had expected it to be.
They'll never let me live in peace.
I have no clue who to share my woes with.
Hey, five thousand rupees is missing from Father's room.
They've arrested the watchman to investigate.
They suspect he must've stolen it.
-Hey! -Hmmm.
Did you check out Deepa sister's boyfriend?
He's not a boy but a big brother.
He's seven years elder to us.
I really like him.
Is it possible to get his phone number?
He doesn't have a phone.
Hi, my name is, Ashok.
I came to meet Avinash who live opposite to your apartment...
I think he's not home.
Can I wait at your place, until he returns?
If you don't mind?
-Yeah, sure, come in. -Thank you.
[NEWS] The distance that occurred between them on December 21st...
will keep receding as it treads further.
If you look at it in that perspective...
If you don't mind.
I'm thirsty. Can I get some water?
[Sinchan cartoon on TV]
Hey, check who's at the door?
I'm inside the bathroom.
He doesn't pay heed to any of my requests.
But when he makes one, I have to tend to it right away.
Hey!
Fine, I'll get the door myself.
-Sorry. -Not an issue.
-Mr. Kumar? -That's me.
There's a courier for you.
-Sir, please sign this. -Sure.
Thank you.
Put it to dry.
Oh, god!
I'm struggling out here.
And you find that amusing, is it?
Dad, here you go, hold your antique phone.
How dare you call my phone an antique?
Such a brat.
Hello!
When?
Okay, I'll be there in twenty minutes.
Vanakam, sir. How come you're late?
Our work out here is done. We're taking the samples to the lab.
-Anything suspicious? -Typical strangle and death, Kumar.
Vivek, is inside the house.
If you need anything else ask him, he'll help you with it.
Okay.
-Okay, carry on. -Okay.
Didn't I just speak to him? Why is he calling again?
Hello, sir.
Sir, I'm at the spot.
Good that you reached.
Before the media gets a whiff of it, please start the investigation.
Okay, sir.
As the victim is a female, tread carefully.
To support you with investigation, I've appointed a female SI to the case.
-Let her be on the case and observe. -Okay.
-She might be helpful. -Okay, sir.
Ramasamy, she must be around 25 or 26 years old, right?
You're right, sir.
-She looks very young though. -Sir, it's the victim's phone.
Sir, this is Jennifer. DCP put her on the case for support.
Hello, sir!
-First case? -No, sir, it's my 4th one.
But my first case where a death is involved.
-Vivek, can you brief us? -Sure, sir.
Sir, the intruder must've entered through the main door.
I guess, she should've had her last breath in the air.
And, I think he just dropped her dead on the floor.
No burglary.
Is there any evidence of rape?
No, sir, there's nothing pertaining to rape.
Moreover, there are prints all over the house.
Just now my team finished analyzing all the prints.
There was no burglary.
Neither it looks like a rape.
Sir, I feel someone killed her out of revenge.
No, I don't think that's the case.
What makes you say that?
When I inquired, she doesn't have any friends or enemies.
She hardly used to interact with the people.
In fact, we can easily single out people who knows her.
Have you collected all the basic details of the victim?
First of all, what's her name?
-Sir... -Sir, her name is, Iyal.
Iyal?
-Sounds new. -It's her pen name.
She has been writing novels under that name.
She's an orphan, sir.
She grew up at, Xavier Orphanage.
Her name out there was, Kiruba.
She left the orphanage after finishing school.
And changed her name.
Hmmm... interesting!
-Good work, erm... -It's Jennifer, sir.
Jennifer. Good work, Jennifer.
Seems like you've done a thorough background check.
-Get me the building in-charge. -Okay, sir.
-I need to check the CCTV footage. -Okay, sir.
I already checked with them. He has stepped outside.
-They said, he'll be back in 20 minutes. -Oh!
Give me that pen.
Who discovered the body, first?
Mithun, discovered it first.
I discovered it, first.
How are you related to the girl?
We were in a relationship.
We kind of, lived together.
Live-in?
But I don't see any of your things at this house.
Can't say that we were completely living-in together.
I live nearby, couple of blocks away.
So, I just stay during the nights and leave in the morning.
So, you just stay during the nights, is it?
That's not called, live-in.
It's called something else.
Who the fuck are you, huh?
What do you know about, Iyal?
Don't raise your hand. I will break them.
Ramasamy, calm down.
Mithun, do you have a lighter?
I don't smoke.
-Ramasamy! -Sir?
-Get me matches. -I'll get it, sir.
So, Mithun, I believe, you visit daily during the nights.
Hey, don't take me wrong.
Why didn't you visit last night when the murder took place?
Because, she asked me not to.
You know, she's a writer actually--
she was at the final phase of her new book.
She wanted to be alone for a few days.
So, I thought of giving her some privacy.
What do your parents do for living?
I was born and brought up in Palakkad.
When I was younger, my mum and dad got divorced.
Later, mom started an advertising business.
And she moved to USA, when I was in college.
She later settled down in USA.
With her new family.
I was not interested in settling down in USA.
We have a branch in Chennai. I'm looking after it.
Do you suspect anyone in this case?
No.
Can you speak more about Iyal and her character?
She's a psycho. I've never seen her speak to anyone.
Sir, she keeps it to herself. Never indulge in any kind of issues.
I've never spoken to that girl.
I've just seen her couple of times while taking the elevator.
Sir, I'm new here.
I joined the duty last week.
That girl was a very kind person.
I requested for a tip of 10 rupees, but she gave me 100 rupees instead.
The best part is I've never spoken to her earlier.
Okay.
Sir, I feel we'll resolve this case sooner than we thought.
What makes you say that?
From what we heard, that girl maintained a tight circle of friends.
If we grill them harder, they'll confess the truth.
Ramasamy, when I was in the school...
I first used to attend easy questions from a mathematics paper.
Okay, sir.
It'll seem as an easy problem.
But the final answer won't match with my calculations.
-What did you understand from it? -Mathematics was tough on you.
-It's not that, Ramasamy, sometimes-- -Sir!
Many used to frequently visit her apartment.
In fact, two new people visited her yesterday.
I'm not sure, if they have anything to do with the murder.
I thought I should inform you about it. So, I did.
-Can you identify them? -Sure!
-Ramasamy, get me Mithun's picture. -It was not, Mithun, sir.
You must've seen them during the night, you may not have recognized them.
Hello!
Jennifer, we got a breakthrough.
Quickly, send Mithun's picture to Ramasamy's phone.
-Make sure the picture is clear-- -We got him!
-What? -Sir, we got the killer.
It was clear in the CCTV footage.
-We got him. -Oh!
Okay, I'll be there.
Uncuff him.
I had no other choice.
I don't even know if that girl was a good or a bad person.
All I knew was only one thing.
My child!
Sir, what was the paper he gave you?
-Ramasamy. -Sir.
Bring out the jeep. We have to go out.
My name is, Ashok. And my daughter's name is Umaya.
One day suddenly I got a call from her school.
That she fainted inside the classroom.
Only when I took her to the hospital, I came to know...
that she has Level-2 Brain Tumor.
Doctor said that if we don't perform a surgery, she'll die.
I'm a common man, who draws monthly salary.
I know arranging for such a huge amount for the surgery is impossible.
Still I didn't give up and tried.
But it was useless.
That's when I received a courier.
I knew someone how has been watching me must've sent it.
Inside the courier there was 50,000 rupees...
and a letter along with it.
The letter read, if I kill the girl mentioned in the letter...
they'll pay me enough money for my daughter's surgery.
I didn't want to trust a letter from a stranger...
and commit a sin which I'm not supposed to.
Sir, if I miss out on a chance to save my daughter...
that's a deadly sin to bear.
Sir.
-Tell me, Jennifer. -I never expected it.
That we'll nab the killer so soon and the case will be resolved.
Don't be silly, Jennifer.
He committed a murder. That too for money.
He's just a weapon.
Is it enough if we cease the bullet and the gun?
Don't know who trained you. You're just incorrigible.
Sorry, sir. I spoke out of excitement that we nabbed the killer.
Fine, you can leave.
I've asked Ramasamy to collect the evidence.
Once he's finished, bring him over here.
The real headache is about to start.
Hello. Baby, shall I come over there?
No, no, don't, baby. You just wait there.
The doctor has arrived. I'll finish the formalities and come.
Okay!
Yeah, okay, okay.
Kumar, it's done. You can proceed with other formalities.
Doctor, anything interesting?
No, Kumar, it's the usual stuff.
But the victims sexual organs are internally wounded.
Any possibilities of rape, doctor?
Not a chance. It was not a rape.
You mentioned about internal wounds. How is it not a rape?
They're just internal wounds.
And I don't think anything happened in the last 2-3 days.
From the case history and the time of murder...
it can't be a rape.
-Thank you, doctor. -Okay.
So, Mithun, you heard the doctor mention about the wound...
and about other things, do you have any idea?
Yeah, that could be...
That could be me.
Me? Please explain it better.
See, we were in a relationship. Okay.
Sex between a couple is not a very big deal.
Moreover, it's completely a personal matter.
So, please don't meddle into private matters.
I just can't answer them.
Okay, let's not discuss about your private matters.
Why don't you describe the nature of your relationship?
Did you guys ever fight with each other?
Please! Please stop wasting time on me.
If you truly want to find the murderer. Then get hold of Prashanth.
Prashanth? Who is that?
Anybody home?
Hello, is Prashanth home?
Why, sir? He never came back home from last night.
-Sir, he's gone to Cochin with Vignesh. -When did he leave?
-I think... -They went last afternoon.
-Who all went? -Prashanth and Vignesh.
-Give me Vignesh's number. -Sir.
9150
144
606, sir.
Where do you live? And what do you guys do?
-Who do you stay with? -Sir, I live with my family.
Sir, we studied in the same school.
-Who all? -All of us, sir.
Sir, he's a good person.
We know him very well.
-Hello, Jennifer. -Sir.
Prashanth has fled.
His phone is switched off too.
They're saying he went to Cochin with his friend.
I don't trust them.
I've sent you Vignesh's number.
Trace the location and get back to me right away.
-One second, sir. -I'll hold the line.
Got it, sir.
Cochin!
Sir, shall we inform Cochin's local police station.
-Sir? -Erm.. no need.
No, Jennifer, it won't work out.
-You wait for my call. -Okay, sir.
-Hello. -Am I speaking to, Vignesh?
This is Vignesh. Who am I speaking to?
This is Inspector calling from F3 police station.
Tell me, sir.
Vignesh, nothing to worry.
We're looking for your friend, Prashanth in regards to a case.
-Is he with you? -Yes, sir.
Give him the phone.
Sir, he's upstairs inside the room. I came down to get some water.
I'll call you back in two minutes,
Two minutes right, I'll hold the line. Put him on the phone.
Sir, I'll go upstairs and--
Hey, do as I say.
Don't take advantage of the power, sir.
Hey, you call your lawyer, uncle.
I don't care who you call.
Call them, we'll get him arrested too.
-Get lost! -Sir, what did I do?
-Hey, get lost. -Buddy, call him right away.
-Take him downstairs. -Hey, give me the phone.
-Hello, is this Prashanth? -Yes, sir. Is there a problem?
Nothing much, just an inquiry regarding a case.
We need you to come down to the police station.
Sir, I've come down to Cochin with an important work.
It'll take around 4-5 days for me to return to Chennai.
I wonder what's so important.
Sir, I'm here to attend an important Youth Wing conference.
Prashanth, put your phone on the loudspeaker.
Sir.
Prashanth and Vignesh, can you both hear me?
-Yes, sir. -I can hear you.
I'll give you three seconds.
The minute I mention, you both should say exactly...
at the same time what color shirt, Prashanth is wearing.
One.
Two.
Three.
Hey, why did you hang up?
Fuckin' I knew it.
Why are you switching it off?
Jennifer, I'm sure Prashanth is somewhere in Chennai.
-But when I tracked him... -That was a trap.
Only, Vignesh is at Cochin. They were on conference call with me.
Please send me the location of that other phone.
Sure, sir.
Cochin, is it? Get lost, damn it.
Are you serious?
When was this?
Did they ask anything about me?
Sir, they're upstairs.
I'll call you back.
Buddy, I'm really scared.
Hey, stop whining.
How can I not?
I said things I shouldn't have during that situation.
Sir, they're on the terrace.
I'm sure Police would've tracked us down, already.
-If we get caught by the police... -Nothing of that sorts will happen--
Sir, hear me out, I didn't do anything.
-Shut up, damn it. -Please, sir.
Sir, please hear us out, we didn't do anything.
Please, sir.
Just answer the question.
Why did you lie about being in Cochin?
Sir.
Ramasamy, this is not working...
-take them in custody. -Sir, I'll confess.
-Sir, please, sir. -Sir, I'll speak, please hear me out.
I did it out of fear.
I only knew in the morning, that she was murdered.
Few days ago, she had come to meet me.
So, I knew police will connect the dots and come looking for me.
That's why I lied being in Cochin. So, that you won't trouble me.
Apart from that I have no connection to this murder.
Even if I agree that you did it out of fear.
But how do I believe, that you have nothing to do with the murder?
Sir, she was my ex-girlfriend.
There's no way I would've killed her.
The current trend is boyfriends killing their girlfriends.
I'm not one of them.
DECEMBER 18th 2013
An unforgettable day!
That's when I met her for the first time.
Hey, if my father finds out, he'll kill me.
-Hey, wait for a while. -Get lost, damn it.
I could've done better things than waiting with you.
-Awesome. -Fine, you can leave now.
Uh... get lost?
-Hey... -Leave, damn it.
I wonder when the guys will stop ditching their friends.
Sadist!
Hello!
I need to talk to you.
Not an issue. You can leave.
What is it?
Wait, don't fear. It's not a love letter.
When I bumped into you earlier, this paper got left behind.
Oh!
So, I thought of bringing it to you and apologize for before.
Don't bother, it was an accident. Thanks.
Please don't take me wrong.
I read your story. I was able to read only a small portion of it.
But it felt very realistic.
A young girl falling in love with an older boy,
without him knowing about it.
The fear, pain, love and beauty of the unspoken love...
I felt everything in just those two pages.
I can't believe it.
The innocence of that young girl was beautiful.
Just by reading one part, don't conclude she's innocent.
Soon the full story will be published.
-Read and give me feedback. -Definitely.
I still can't get out of the impact those two pages has left on me.
There's a secret to your writing.
Do you read a lot of books?
Please don't laugh, that was a serious question.
Tell me if you're fond of books.
I'll tell you. But I have one condition.
-Please go ahead. -Can you accompany to the bus stop?
I'm very scared of dogs.
That's why she was accompanying me.
But you sent her away.
Come on, this is my duty. Let's go.
You asked if I read a lot of books.
I've never read a book in my life.
-Except for my academic books. -Come on, don't lie to me.
I may be not an expert.
But I can identify good writing.
I'm not kidding.
Then how come, you're able to perceive so naturally?
Imagination always makes a story interesting.
But the truth makes it realistic.
I love the realistic-truth.
Our mind spins a lot of imagination.
But our eyes witness the truth.
I believe in truth that I witness myself.
Sitting inside a room and toiling your brain to write...
will fetch you only words.
You gotta have the urge to explore.
Only if you explore your story it will sound true adding life to it.
Anyway, thanks for dropping me at the bus stop.
Don't mention it.
Listen, whenever you're afraid of dogs, please give me a call.
Hi.
-Hello. -Hi, this is Prashanth here.
-What are you up to? -Tell me, Prashanth.
Nothing important, I just called.
Are you free now? Can we meet today?
I'm a little busy with finishing my book.
Oh, that's fine!
-Let me know once it has been published. -Yeah, sure.
I have to go, bye.
Take care.
Listen, one minute.
I need to talk to you.
I don't know how to say it.
But if I don't, my head will explode.
That's why I've decided to tell you.
I'll get straight to the point.
I like you a lot.
I love you!
Please say something--
Yes? No?
No!
-Please give it a thought-- -I'm already in a relationship.
-But you never mentioned about it. -What?
Why should I? I'm not obligated, Prashanth.
Oh!
Bye.
So, that was the last time you met her?
Madam, courier.
Name...?
-This? -That's me.
Thanks.
Why did you change your name?
Felt like it.
What does Iyal mean?
It means, nature!
The meaning resonated with my character, so changed it.
Time just flies.
How's your...?
you-your...
Actually, I lied to you about it.
I was not in a relationship.
To be frank, I didn't like the way you stalked me.
I didn't know how to avoid you...
I-- I didn't wanna be harsh with you.
I'm really sorry, if I had hurt you.
Thanks. You make good coffee.
Okay, I'll take a leave.
I have many deliveries to complete.
If you need anything, please call me.
I haven't changed my number. It's the same.
-That's enough for me. -Have one more.
Mom, I had too much. I'm full.
Do you still have my number?
I thought you might've deleted it.
"Do you still have my number?"
"I thought you might've deleted it."
I never deleted it.
Just blocked you.
Why didn't you delete it?
No idea, maybe it was an instinct...
'cause you professed your love so innocently.
And you never disturbed me after I rejected you.
Don't conclude that I'm innocent by just seeing one side of me.
-Hello. -Do you still remember?
Not bad!
It was an unforgettable thing.
That day and the two-page story.
The teenage girl.
Shall I say something?
"A gift to my secret lover."
Once your book got published, I searched, bought it and read.
Because I was eager to know the full story.
Brilliant writing.
Awesome!
I believe there must be someone like that in everyone's life.
It's an innocent age.
In fact, during that innocent age...
How do I put it?
The pure love is a beauty itself.
But I never expected that love will make her do something like that.
At least, she could've just met him in person.
He never came to know about the existence of that girl.
After I read the book, I had two doubts.
-Can I ask? -Sure, go ahead.
How did she find the money to buy him an expensive phone?
That explains that you didn't read the story thoroughly.
Mostly the answers to our questions will be right in front of our eyes.
The sad part is, we wouldn't know how to identify it.
Read it again. You'll definitely understand.
Sure!
Fine, I have one request.
-What is it? -Can I get an author-signed-copy?
Not an issue, I'll give you one.

Hey, where are you?
You've been missing for two days.
Neither I could reach you over the phone.
Hey, I did mention that I've come down to research for my 2nd novel.
Okay, I'm right now outside your house.
-Come sooner. -Hey--
I think, I'll be late.
It's better you leave. We'll meet tomorrow.
Not an issue, I'll wait for you.
You try and get back sooner.
Hey, let's meet tomorrow.
-Hello? -Hey... hello?
Hello.
I write what I see.
Will you believe in your mind's imagination?
Or you'll believe the truth you witness?
Sitting inside a room and toiling your brain to write...
will fetch you only words.
You gotta have the urge to explore.
Only if you explore your story it will sound true adding life to it.
Hey, you were waiting all this while?
Where were you?
I was doing field work for my book's research.
For this disgusting story, right?
What the fu--
Hey, how did you get--
Look, Prashanth, I didn't mean to hide this from you.
But I feared how you might perceive it.
It's going to rain. Let's go inside and talk.
Take your hands off me.
Don't touch me with your disgusting hands.
-What did you just say? -Shut up, damn it!
You slept around.
But posing as if you've done nothing.
Prashanth, I never intended to hide this from you.
I was not sure, if you were mature enough to understand this matter.
I wanted to write erotic novels.
Look here...
sex is just a tool for the story I'm going to tell.
That's about it.
It's art-- It's just purely art, Prashanth.
How can you call sleeping around...
a form of art?
Look Prashanth...
from an outsiders' perspective, it may look complicated.
In fact, it's just really simple.
Love and sex are two different things.
I should be understanding, despite you go sleeping around.
To you sex may be a simple matter.
If you had parents, they would've raised you well.
I've met many strangers in regards to my story.
I've spent time with them.
You know it very well.
Similarly, sex was imperative to this story.
That's why I indulged in it.
That's when I can give life to my story along with the truth.
It is just sex, Prashanth.
But I love you.
I love you to the core.
Please, understand my plight.
Fuck your logic.
To you love and sex are different things, right?
I believe, unconditional love is the outcome of lust.
The long list that you mentioned...
there's an utter swear word in Tamil for it.
I hope you're aware of it.
It's not going to work out between us.
What?
Let's break up!
-May-- Maybe what I did was wrong-- -Fuck you!
Prashanth...
Maybe?
Please, Prashanth.
Prashanth!
Prashanth...
Ramasamy, I feel he wouldn't have done it.
Yes, sir.
I too feel that they're telling the truth.
-Sumesh, come over here. -Sir.
I shouldn’t have gone over there last night.
He's going to hear you. Shut up, damn it.
Hey!
Why are you crying now?
Don't do anything stupid and drag me into this as well.
We should've listened to you last night.
We got scared and now we're caught up in this.
If I had not broke up with her...
she might've been alive today.
I didn't even hear her out in the end.
I became a reason for her death.
Buddy.
Just 'cause I called her names, I couldn't sleep for a week...
that's why I went to meet her yesterday.
But she was lying dead out there.
Sunderesa, I won't be forgiven, right?
-Sunderesa! -Don't confuse yourself. Be calm.
Hey!
-Are you serious? -You heard it right, Jennifer.
Everything happened in a jiffy.
Wherever I head out, it's a dead end.
We have to find a new lead.
Sir, I traced the source from where the cash was sent to Ashok.
It's a money transfer agency in Porur.
Awesome, Jennifer.
Ping me the location, right away.
-I've already sent it. -One second.
Okay, Jennifer, you get to the location. I'll meet you there.
Okay, sir.
Do you know any details about the customer?
Sir, I have no clue who it was.
If they give me a 14-digit secret code...
we'll hand over the cash to the customer.
Are you serious? You transact in millions.
Don't you ask for an ID?
Sir, in this business, both legal and illegal transactions happen.
We make it customer friendly.
To be frank, it's like money laundering.
I have customers from your department and ministers too.
Forget about that.
Do you at least know how did the person look?
-Ramasamy. -Sir.
That girl wrote a book before she died.
Yes, sir.
She writes realistic stories.
What if she had any issues...
and has written it down in that book.
Highly possible.
Bring me that list of phone numbers.
One second!
-Hello. -Mithun...
you mentioned about Iyal's last novel.
Yeah.
Do you know the name of the publication?
Oh, yeah, I know that.
Black Pearl Publications.
Sir, you got the details right.
We've been publishing her books right from the beginning.
She's a very talented girl.
Recently, she brought a story to us.
We finished printing it too.
Do you have a copy of it?
No, sir, we don't have a copy.
We just printed one copy of the book.
Are you serious? Just one copy?
I was surprised too.
Normally, we don't do single print.
But that girl is a special writer to us.
She made a special request.
That's why we did it.
You must have the manuscript.
Sir, we can't open the manuscript, without a court order.
Don't we have another option?
No, sir.
We sent that single-copy to the address she mentioned.
May be you can investigate them.
Check who was it sent to.
Sir, it was sent to someone named, Kumar.
Give me the address.
No.8, Thanikachalam Road, Chetpet, Chennai - 31.
I don't know who to talk to about it.
I'm really scared looking at things that are happening out here.
It's not what I had expected it to be.
They'll never let me live in peace.
I have no clue who to share my woes with.
Sir, it was a lady who had come to collect it.
Why did she send me this book?
I have no connection to that girl.
Sir, may be she was trying to convey something...
Prashanth or Mithun might've tortured her...
and at a point she realized that her life is in danger.
As you're local police, she might've indirectly tried to reach out to you.
She could've directly approached me.
May be she was being monitored.
That's why she must've chose to contact you indirectly.
Possible.
Answers to all our questions...
is hiding somewhere inside the pages of this book.
I don't have the patience to read a book.
I will do it, sir.
Read closely.
Don't miss out on even small details.
Sure, sir.
Sir.
Then who was the girl who picked up the money at the money transfer.
Oh, that angle is yet to be resolved.
-Do one thing. -Sir.
-Call, Ramamurthy at Cyber-Cell. -Okay, sir
-Sir? -Jennifer, you can leave.
Okay, sir.
-Call, Ramamurthy at Cyber-Cell... -Okay, sir.
-ask to find the source of money transfer. -Okay, sir.
Tell him, this case is being closely monitored by the Commissioner.
-Only then he'll work diligently. -Okay, sir.
This one.
Excuse me!
Yeah, I understand, mom.
I totally understand the situation.
You better do one thing...
Transfer the money to our regular guy and send me the code.
What?
Impossible!
Last week, I never asked you for money.
Mom, I'm getting an important call. I'll call you back.
-Hello, Mithun. -Tell me, baby.
Sir.
Did you check the call history, whatsapp and social media account of that girl?
Sir, Jennifer has checked them thoroughly.
"I'm really scared looking at things that are happening out here."
"Yes, sir, she looks very young."
"Sir, that girl's mobile phone."
"Sir, this is Jennifer. DCP put her on the case for support."
"Hello, sir!"
I checked too, there's nothing suspicious--
Yashni, has nothing to do with this murder.
Why are you harassing Yashni by following her?
Mister...
I'm the one who is calling the shots here.
Yashini is very much connected to this case.
What are you getting at?
Because she was angry or jealous with me...
you think Yashini hired someone to kill Iyal?
Hey!
First of all, how close me and Yashini and the nature of our relationship...
Iyal was well aware of it right from the beginning.
If you still want to investigate, Yashini...
you can do it in a private space.
Please stop following her everywhere she goes.
Because I just don't like that.
Freakin' you don't get is it?
I know how to tread with the investigation.
We don't need your advice, damn it.
Ramasamy, take him outside.
Hey, come on. Get out.
How dare you raise your voice? Masilamani, don't let him inside.
-Ramasamy! -Sir, here I come.
Have you traced the money transfer?
Sir, I was told that it came from an US account.
-I'm collecting the details. -Hurry, up.
Where is Jennifer?
-Madam. -Jennifer!
-Sir. -Have you read the book? Any leads?
So far, it has everything what we already know.
There's nothing else in it which raises a suspicion.
Sorry.
Sorry?
There's no use of being sorry.
Why would that girl send this book, if there's no clue hidden in it?
I'm sure there's definitely a clue inside the book.
Let me know if you can't do it. I'll ask someone else to read it.
Don't apologize and give me lame excuses.
Sir, I'll read through it once again.
She read through closely.
But worried about her ego getting hurt.
Fine, proceed. If you get a lead, call me right away.
Hello, I'm at work.
I'll call you, once I'm free.
I don't care if you're busy.
-Take permission for an hour and be here. -Are you nuts?
Don't you understand that I'm busy?
I'll call you once I'm free.
Didn't I mention about the school admission?
I'm outside the school with our daughter.
Get here sooner.
You're impossible!
Fine, I'll be there.
But I can only stay for fifteen minutes.
-Dad! -Come here, sweetie.
Father and daughter are too much with their love.
You knew I was busy with work.
But you're adamant on doing it today.
You're right, dad. I was going to watch Sinchan on TV.
But mom dragged me to the school.
The Principal is running late.
You please show them the receipt and get the books.
Okay.
We still haven't got the admission...
but they want us to get books?
-Sit down, Jennifer. -Was it you, who messaged me?
Why did you get Iyal, killed?
What? Sir, I don't understand what you're trying to say.
Then why did you come over in response to a stranger's message.
Erm... that was just a curiosity, sir.
As I was curious to know about the murderer,
that's why I came alone as instructed in the message--
Jennifer, enough!
First, when you explained everything in detail about that girl...
"When I inquired, she doesn't have any friends or enemies."
But nothing strike me at that moment.
You insisted on closing the case once the murderer was caught.
"I never expected that we'll find the murderer so soon and close the case."
Even at that moment nothing strike me.
One thing which I didn't find in others related to this case...
I noticed it in you.
Excitement!
"What was the paper he gave it to you?"
"I will do it, sir"
Your excitement at every turning point in the case.
You were all over the case.
Sir, one other thing, about Jennifer--
She was suggested by Retd. IG, Manickavel.
She must be his trainee.
He raved about her being the best student of the academy.
Even I thought a fresh mind on the case will be a good thing.
Any issues, Kumar?
You planned everything.
And then executed it yourself and covered your tracks.
Sir!
So, you and Iyal who got killed are childhood friends.
You grew up together in the same orphanage.
That's where the problem started.
When Iyal caught you in a compromising act with another girl...
and she complained it to the Father, that put you in a spot...
that's why you left the orphanage.
To avenge the humiliation caused by Iyal, you killed her.
You kept planning your next move...
and drove us right from the beginning presenting with new leads.
You kept us running in circles.
Genius!
Sir, I don't deny the facts you just stated.
We had our problems.
Yes.
It's true that I drove the case, just like you stated.
I was excited at every turning point.
But that doesn't mean, I did it.
Being civil with you is not going to work.
Sir, please hear my side of the story.
I'll listen, if you can answer to my questions.
If you're hell-bent on only telling your side of the story...
be my guest.
But, I can't hear you out here.
-Ramasamy. -Sir.
-Put her in the other car. -Sir?
Ramasamy, do as I say.
Okay, sir.
Sir.
Tell me, Ramasamy.
Sir, I don't think, Jennifer is involved in it.
What makes you say that?
Jennifer was with us at the money transfer office.
I should've spoken to you about it earlier.
I'm sorry.
Agreed that we had unsettled scores.
But I'm not sure if it's fate or coincidence.
Recently, something was pricking my mind.
That's when she sent me a voice message.
Since I heard it, I felt kind of guilty.
Yesterday, I went to meet her in the afternoon at her apartment.
She was not home.
I didn't want to miss meeting her today...
so I got to her apartment early in the morning.
That's when I found her lying dead out there.
Later, to find her murderer...
I requested Manicakvel, sir, to join the case and observe it closely.
As they won't let friends and relatives involved in the case...
that's the only reason, I hid everything from you.
Jennifer, I'm a not a brilliant cop.
I don't know the intelligent techniques to find a criminal.
My father was an inspector.
He died in the line of duty.
They offered the job for a family member.
I joined the force at the age of 21.
Later, by attending exams, recommendations, I got a post in the force.
In these fourteen years, when I take up a case...
I've never analyzed the case like how it might've happened and resolved it.
The only method I'm aware of is...
Trial and Error!
I corner the person who I suspect the most.
If I learn that they didn't do it...
I'll move to the next suspect.
It has proved successful...
also I've messed it up.
Jennifer, please don't take it to your heart.
I'm sorry.
There's a lot of work to do.
-Shall we go? -Yes, sir.
-Don't take me for granted. -I didn't.
He's on his way back.
-Pull over and reverse. -Please wait for five minutes.
Just five minutes, bro.
The owner has been calling me profusely.
Take a look.
Hey, what's the problem?
Sir, he rammed in to the parked car.
Sir, it's our mistake.
Dad was in a hurry to get to the airport and rammed into his car.
-Yes, sir. -He'll be back soon.
He's gone to get the papers to claim insurance.
Sir, he's been saying this for an hour.
Sir, mom has to get to the airport, we're running late.
Let her go, I'll stay back.
"And she moved to US."
"Sir, it came from an US account."
Wait for five minutes and get it from them.
Okay, sir.
Drive.
Pull over to the left.
This is airport's manifesto.
In the last three months...
check if Mithun's mother Jayanthi Menon, name is on the list.
Okay, sir.
Messages between Mithun and his mother...
also I had asked to trace their calls, what happened to it?
Sir, we have details from the last three months.
She calls him 2-3 times on an average every week.
Whereas messages read mostly of amount transaction.
What about the airport manifesto?
We've checked them thoroughly.
Mithun's mother, Jayanti Menon, didn't visit India recently.
In fact, it's been two years since her last visit.
Fuck!
Okay.
Why don't we re-trace our steps to find a new lead?
A message was sent from Mithun's phone to her mother.
Once she received the message, she transferred the money.
As usual.
It collected by an unidentified person from money transfer.
It could be anyone.
We investigated all the suspects related to the case.
No use.
But we don't need him anymore.
That money...
reached Ashok through the courier service where Prashanth works.
Sir, money transfer?
Ashok, who took an advance to make the kill...
paid the advance fee for his daughter's surgery.
Now he requires the balance amount.
He killed, Iyal.
You go ahead.
Sir, we can maybe omit the person who collected the money transfer.
But how did Prashanth landed the courier?
Who must've sent it?
I suspect just one person.
We'll shortly clear the air on that too.
We're now left with just two possibilities now.
One:
We're searching for an unidentified person, who we never met before.
Or Mithun has planned meticulously and making a fool of us.
Only one person can answer all our questions.
Prashanth is just a scapegoat.
Someone has framed him in this case.
Once he gains consciousness and gives his statement...
I strongly believe that we'll get a clue in this case.
-Which room did they say he's in? -No idea, sir.
Doctor, which room is Prashanth admitted in?
Next room.
Wait.
Hey!
Hey, stop right there.
Sumesh, catch him.
Let go of him, Sumesh.
Iyal, loved me dearly.
In her purview...
I might've hurt her a lot.
But...
I too loved her, dearly.
I loved her in my own way.
It's 'cause of this bastard, my Iyal is dead now.
When I go to meet, Iyal, tonight...
she won't be there.
She's not going to be there forever.
Mithun, that's enough.
Only two people know what happened exactly that night.
One is you.
Another is me.
I know that you won't confess the truth.
I'll tell you myself.
Let's see if you agree to the truth later.
You asked your mother for money.
With that money you hired someone...
and passed on the cash to Ashok through Prashanth's courier service.
Brilliant planning.
But you forgot to throw away the courier receipt.
The murder took place just like you planned.
Later, you had one doubt.
May be Prashanth, might know the truth.
But today, you've eliminated him too.
Now you've cleared your route.
Go. Put him inside the jeep.
Put him inside the jeep, rascal.
Get inside and find a seat.
Everything went Topsy-turvy.
That includes your ideology too.
In the morning you said, it's going to take time to find the murderer.
But we found the murderer before the end of the day.
Dad, when will mom return?
She'll be here soon, dear.
-Where has she gone? -I have no idea.
She didn't tell me, dear.
We'll ask her once she returns home.
Dad, what does MRP mean?
"Maximum Retail Price"
The maximum price one can sell a product.
Why do you keep counting the pages?
Dad, it's mentioned over here that there are 96 pages.
But when I counted, only 92 pages are there.
Does that mean we got cheated?
You got it wrong, dear. Give it to me.
It's mentioned 96 pages.
Total pages include, Index and printed information.
So, when you count, you got to include the cover--
♪ Your search ends here ♪
Love. Sex.
These two things ruined my life.
No. Love. Sex.
Two people who didn't know the difference between them ruined my life.
Yeah.
It's believed, that unconditional love is the outcome of lust.
But I don't think that's true.
Love involves feelings.
But sex is just physical.
Connecting feelings with physical needs is utter foolishness.
-Prashanth. -Hey, what are you doing here?
I need to talk to you.
It's better you leave. It's disgusting to even look at you.
I don't have anyone to speak my heart out.
I just need five minutes.
What do you want to talk about?
You'll sleep around,
but now you've changed and have come to your senses.
Fine, even if you were a whore...
you expect me to embrace you as an angel,
like a desperate chap.
Don't you ever feel disgusted?
We eat when we're hungry.
And sleep when we're sleepy.
These are decided by our needs.
If the situation demands, having sex is not a big deal.
That's my personal philosophy.
But my love was true.
He didn't respect my love.
Do you think a culture-less or character-less girl can't fall in love?
Virginity has become very complicated.
Virginity for men is in their hearts and for women it's in their bodies...
society has made everyone believe it.
Mithun.
Mithun, is a person who perfectly suited my philosophy.
He supersedes me when it comes to being culture-less.
We didn't have much love or chemistry...
but we had an understanding.
But it was to the outside world.
Because, inside the bedroom...
he's a monster!
Surprise!
Mithun!
Mithun--
He's an animal who gets high on a woman's pain.
He's a satyromaniac.
He assumed that a girl who loves him will do anything for him...
also will bear any amount of pain. Mithun was one of those men.
You could say that I should keep away from him.
But I can't.
One thing that Prashanth couldn't give me...
I wanted to give that to Mithun.
A second chance!
But he never changed.
That demon became addicted to this high.
And the price I paid for it, is pain!
Unimaginable pain.
After a point I felt this society and I won't get along.
Either the society's perspective is wrong...
or my ideologies must be wrong.
The first solution that came to my mind to get out of this problem...
But it pricked me that I didn't do anything to...
those two men who pushed me to take this decision.
I decided to avenge them.
♪ Men who conquer the peaks... ♪
I could've easily killed them with my bare hands.
That would've been very easy.
But death is the simplest punishment.
I saved it for myself.
♪ I'm a self-grown demon without a name ♪
Sir, courier.
♪ The right and wrong perceived by you... ♪
♪ and the rules that you laid down. ♪
♪ And the punishment for it. ♪
♪ Has become far-fetched ♪
♪ I'm Iyal a.k.a nature ♪
♪ Your search ends here ♪
♪ Time has come for our paths to merge ♪
Second question: Is there no other option?
Why is she reduced to making stupid decisions?
Why?
Why not? It's you who perceive it as stupid.
When I finished the book, I thought of better options.
Options!
After reading a book...
looking at the traits of the characters from afar...
I lived the character from the book--
there's a difference in living the character.
We humans who look at everything...
perspective will be at large,
also we'll feel there are one too many options.
But the character's perspective is small.
She can only see him.
In that moment, what she feels is right for her.
From people's perspective, I may be a rotten apple.
But in my perspective, what I did was right.
Usually, in a story, hero wins at the end.
But that's not how it is.
Whoever wins in the story will be declared as hero.
Doesn't matter, if they're good or bad, whoever wins is a hero.
I may be disgusting in my story.
Also a woman who can't get along with the society.
I may have a lost in my personal life.
In fact, I might be the bad person.
But, I won in my story.
