Childrens, don't use unnecessary things
Don't fire Tyre, tube, plastic
This is Government order
(Chatter)
Hello and welcome to all.
Firstly, thank you for accepting our invitation...
and joining us for the launch of the most awaited car of the year.
Today, we have kept our promise.
We have honoured our commitment to India.
When we made a global announcement...
that we will be launching the special edition of our next model in India,
on this pongal occasion in Chennai...
simultaneously along with the US and Europe launch...
we were received with just laughs and doubts.
But today, we are here...
excited to present you the latest creation from our R&D...
with the most advanced features of the class like...
Wait, wait...
I don't think our vehicle needs any introduction.
It is already creating waves as the most uncompromised product.
A wonderful blend of luxury, strength, and safety.
Here we go, friends.
Presenting to you...
Thunder!
The car, a premium SUV type...
costing about RS. 1-1.5 crores is just stunning.
I'd also like to add...
the first proud owner of Thunder in India...
is none other than Mr. Isaac Rajan,
the leading lawyer of the Madras High Court.
But his bad luck, he is currently out of the country now.
Mr. Rajan has to wait a few more days to drive home his Thunder.
The foreman said he'd pay for the ride.
I'll see you, brother. - Okay, brother.
Sir?
Sir...
Who do you want to see? What's the problem?
My wife, Tulasi, is missing since morning.
The Head Constable asked me to file a complaint here.
Everyone is at the Government Hospital. They won't be back until 3 am.
Come back later.
Tulasi...
Where have you gone, Tulasi?
The baby is crying.
The baby is crying...
I don't even know how to make it stop crying, Tulasi...
I have no idea how I am going to raise the baby.
Oh, dear. Stop lamenting with a baby in your hand.
I told you, didn't I?
The baby is crying, madam.
Please find my wife.
How could you bring a baby without a woman to take care of her?
How stupid are you?
I have no one.
You have no relatives either?
No, madam.
I have no one except my wife.
Where have you gone, Tulasi?
Here.
Go and buy some milk powder and a feeding bottle immediately.
Hello? - I'm the SI from L-7 speaking.
The SI from L-7 is on the line.
Hello?
Sir, I enquired into the missing woman case...
and found out his name is Pachamuthu, and his wife's name is Tulasi.
Their home-town is Denkanikottai near Hosur.
One night, when they went to hunt wild animals...
a Forest Ranger caught them and they spent 3 months in jail.
After that incident, they came to Chennai for work.
Upon enquiring here...
people said the couple had minor arguments because of their age difference.
I'll take it from here.
Greetings, sir.
Come here.
Give me all the details.
Do you have your wedding picture?
Sir?
Your wedding picture? - We didn't click one, sir.
Here.
What's your name? - Pachamuthu, sir.
Wife's name?
Tulasi, sir.
What's her age?
Twenty six, sir.
Explain in detail what happened.
On Saturday, Tulasi suddenly went into labour pain.
I took her to a hospital immediately.
Our baby was born on the same day.
On Monday, I went to work at the site, got my wages...
cooked food for my wife and took it to her.
But my wife was missing. Only the baby was there.
Her attender was found dead too.
The hospital-- - Hold on.
Sir, please find her.
Sign here.
Sir, I don't know how to...
You can't read or write? - No, sir.
Place your fingerprint here.
Here, not there.
Sir?
Tea.
Greetings.
Sir, the CSR report is ready.
The inspector sent for you. Go in.
Hey...
I'll take care. - Okay, sir.
Allah...
Come in.
Greetings, sir.
Who are you?
I'm Gopi. The construction foreman.
He and his wife Tulasi work as construction labourers at my site and stay there.
How do you know this woman?
Answer him.
About six months ago...
I was fast asleep at the site. Must have been around 02:00 to 02:30.
Here, take this and go.
Make it faster.
Put it inside, man.
Someone help!
Who are you? Let go.
Watchman! - Let go.
Watchman! Please help! - Let go!
Dear, listen to me. Don't get into this.
I'm warning you, and you're creating a scene, huh?
Dear, be careful.
Someone please come here.
Please help.
They are stealing iron bars.
She is pregnant. Let go of her!
Those women are hitting each other. Pull them apart!
Shut up, woman.
Let go of me.
Brother and sister want their own police station?
How did she end up in the hospital with your wife?
Last Wednesday, all the site workers went home for Pongal.
On Saturday, Tulasi suddenly went into labour pain.
Watchman?
Go and bring someone.
Almost there.
Please bear with it for some more time.
I can't.
Go and bring someone.
Sit here.
Over here.
I need an auto to go to the hospital.
Miss, please don't hold any grudges against us.
That guy is here. Wake up.
I can't take it, dear. Please hurry up.
Did you find an auto?
Please bear with it. We will find an auto there.
Get up. - I can't...
Let's go there.
We will find an auto there.
Get up, Tulasi. Please bear with it for some more time.
Please bear with it.
We are almost there.
Drive faster.
Please bear with it.
'Government child care hospital and Elumbur. Chennai - 8'
Watch out, you fool!
We are here.
Get down carefully.
Let's go.
Take her inside.
You don't have an attender? - No, ma'am.
Listen, the nurses are on strike. There are no nurses inside.
The doctor has instructed me to only admit patients who have an attender.
Wait there.
I'll be her attender. Admit her.
Sit.
Careful.
Push, push, push.
The doctor is inside. - Step aside.
Take care of her. - Come here.
How are you related to her? - She is my wife.
Give me her health ID card.
Her name is Tulasi? - Yes.
Your phone number? - Seventy two...
Seventy eight.
Sixty four.
Three. Triple one.
Sir, you can't enter. That's a ladies ward.
Wait outside.
The next day, on Sunday morning...
when I saw Tulasi and the baby at the normal ward...
I am doing fine, dear.
Finish up the concrete work, get your wages...
...and come back by tomorrow evening.
This lady says she will be by my side until then.
I can manage.
That was what Tulasi told me.
So I went back to work, sir.
Pachamuthu, the lady looking after your wife called from the hospital last night.
I tried to call her back, but I couldn't get the call through.
Find out what it is. - Okay.
Whose bag is this?
That's mine.
Thagaraj, get the belongings from inside.
Which one is yours? - That phone, brother.
'The mobile number your dial is currently not reachable'
The government health workers' strike demanding increased wages...
came to an end this evening after four days of protest.
The workers went back to work with immediate effect.
Hello.
I'll go to the hospital and be back.
Give me the money.
Keep this for now.
We are expecting a load of iron bars.
I will unload it and visit the baby at the hospital.
Okay, Chief. See you.
Greetings.
Brother, where were you gone all day?
Your wife and her attender have gone missing.
They've been missing since morning? - Yes.
You were right next to her. You didn't see them?
I didn't see, brother. I was sleeping.
Maybe the doctor took her for some check-up?
I don't know. The nurse has taken the baby to the ward.
You are scaring me. Step aside.
Are you blind, you scumbag?
He is the husband of the woman who went missing.
Couldn't you give the right phone number, you big oaf?
I gave the right number.
Your wife and her attender have gone missing since morning.
What?
The SI's cabin is outside, by the hospital gate.
File a complaint, then you can discharge the baby and take it home.
What are you saying?
Where is it? This way?
Go outside and ask for directions.
Sir. - Yes?
They are unplugging the drainage behind the pregnancy ward.
Sir, my wife is missing. - They found a woman's body in there.
Go to the spot. I'll be there.
Okay, sir. I'll go to the spot, look at the body and--
Grab this.
Lay her down.
Lift her leg up.
(Police's walkie talkie)
Check if she's got a phone or jewels inside her blouse.
Yes, sir.
Sir, mobile.
You. - Sir...
Pour some water on her face.
Oh, no. This woman!
I trusted her with my wife.
What happened to my Tulasi!
This woman is lying dead.
Sir, I trusted this woman with my wife.
The nurse says my wife is missing since morning.
Please find my wife.
Step aside.
Sir, please tell him. My wife...
Oh, no. Miss...
Miss, my wife is missing since morning. Her attender is dead.
Please tell them to find my wife.
Ma'am. Please tell them to find my wife for me.
I warned you... - Sir, please...
Sir, please find my wife somehow.
Brother, please tell them. - What happened?
Her attender is dead here. I don't understand what's going on.
Take him away.
We've found this phone on her body as evidence.
I need his Aadhaar card, his wedding picture, his wife's photo.
Give it in writing on a letter pad that these two work for you...
and we will take action, okay? - Okay, sir.
Go to Egmore Police Station. I'll see you there.
Find my wife...
Bhai...
I last saw Tulasi on Sunday.
Greetings, sir.
'Tulasi, a young woman, goes missing from Govt Hospital'
File an FIR.
Okay, sir.
I have a splitting head ache. See if there is some balm in the dashboard.
Right away, sir.
He has no one except me.
Please help him.
How did you trust a thief?
In my village, they used to say Never doubt someone who helps you.
She served time in prison for killing her husband.
There are cases against her in all the stations.
Trusting a criminal with your wife was your fault.
I've told them to circulate his wife's photo to all stations.
Let's see.
Look here.
Make a copy of this and give the originals to the SI, okay?
Yusuf Sir... - Oh yes, my walkie-talkie.
Sir, the thing I told you...
Call me on my phone. - Okay, sir.
Your wife is a young woman.
Don't advertise on papers on social media without checking with us.
If you do so, they might misuse your wife.
Get it?
Sir, here you go.
Thirty rupees for the tea and Xerox.
I'll give this and be back.
When you file a complaint, you'll have to come to the station often.
Even if you don't have money...
you can come here and take whatever you need, son.
You can pay me back when you have money, okay?
Okay, brother.
Here you go.
My little one. My precious...
My precious.
My darling.
My precious little girl.
My darling.
What is it, little one?
Good girl.
My precious.
My darling.
Take your baby.
She won't go anywhere leaving such a precious baby behind.
She will return. Don't worry.
Let's go, kids. - Get up, girl.
Let's go.
Rock the baby in the cradle.
"Go to sleep, sweet child Go to sleep"
"Seed of my forefathers Go to sleep"
"In the place where the air is pristine Go to sleep"
"Like the delicate Thumba flower we lived Now go to sleep"
"Like the fish that drift in the river"
"We drifted to the cities, child Now go to sleep"
"You are deprived of mother's milk Oh, go to sleep"
"And I have no bosom to nurse you Go to sleep"
Why can't you get it fixed at the mechanic shed?
It's just a loose contact. I'll fix it myself.
Sir, she works as a domestic help.
She lives in the next street.
I know her.
I've only bought small jewels from her.
He is the graveyard caretaker.
He came to sell a chain.
I got suspicious, so I only took it as collateral.
Sir, please don't hit me.
Sir, please help. They are beating up my husband.
Sir, please spare my husband.
On Sunday, at 11 pm...
why did you call your sister and go to the Govt hospital?
I went to take the auto key from her.
You've made a lot of calls to these two numbers.
Who are they?
Sir, it belongs to the cashier and watchman from the construction site behind my house.
He means the site Pachamuthu works at.
Sir, please spare me.
Sir, please tell them to stop.
Sir, please stop.
They are beating up my husband because he questioned them about his sister's death!
I just help them tie up iron bars, sir.
Sir, that's all I know.
I'll tell you the truth.
Sir, they call me when they pick up some lady worker at the site.
I used to visit occasionally. That's about it.
The cashier used to call me after he picked them up.
I don't know anything more.
You should stay in town, okay?
Get out.
Okay, sir.
Sir...
You didn't do anything to Pachamuthu's wife?
I swear I didn't.
Hey!
Give me the phone, man.
Hello?
I'm the Head Constable calling from Y-6 Police Station.
Yes, sir?
We need to question you regarding Pachamuthu's case.
Can I come in the morning?
You need to be here in 15 minutes.
Bhai...
Bhai!
Thank you, sir.
I'll pay you back when I get my salary - That's alright.
Take care of your health.
Okay, sir.
You'd sent for me.
Leave your phone here.
The inspector is upstairs. Go and meet him.
Give it.
Sir...
Go on.
Sir?
How long have you been working for the foreman?
Five years, sir.
How is the foreman when it comes to women?
He occasionally has an affair with one of the construction workers.
Did you know about the illicit affair between Pachamuthu's wife and the foreman?
I didn't know about that, sir.
But about 3-4 months back, one night...
must be 9:30 to 10:00 pm...
he got down outside the military quarters.
He said, 'Leave with the vehicle. I'll be back.'
And he went in.
I have a dirty mind, so I hid and watched.
Half an hour later, he came out with Pachamuthu's wife, Tulasi.
I saw them leave in an auto together.
Haven't you gone to sleep yet?
I'm unable to sleep.
Can you come with me?
Let's go to the police station and enquire about Tulasi.
My heart is racing.
The baby is crying. Attend to her.
Let's go in the morning.
Is there a problem?
Why is your phone not reachable?
I was at the quarry. I had no signal there.
Egmore Station's Inspector, Mr. Vijayan, has asked you to meet him in the morning.
Meet him tomorrow. - Okay, ma'am.
The engine is missing, madam.
I've got the chassis number.
Okay.
Since this is behind the hospital, it is a secluded area, madam.
They are shooting a Vijay film on the opposite side.
The camera assistant who was lighting up the place saw this and informed the SI.
And then I came here, madam.
Collect the RTO details from the Traffic Dept and call me.
Vijayan, what happened to your uniform?
You asked me for permission for only two days.
If you aren't okay, go on medical leave.
I'll get into trouble if the commissioner sees you.
Sorry, madam.
The wound has healed.
I'll get back to into uniform from day after tomorrow.
Sir, what about this auto...
Our station is full. I'll get it sent to your station, sir.
Fine. - Thank you, sir.
Y-6 Station, come in. Over.
Y-6 Head Constable receiving, sir.
A theft just happened at Pantheon Road. Attend to it. Over.
Okay, sir.
Concealing any information during an ongoing investigation is a crime too.
Do you know the law?
Salutations, madam.
Do you feel discomfort, Vijayan? - It's okay, madam.
We can inaugurate the new station and move there
once the commissioner is back from medical leave.
Okay, madam.
Come here.
What's your connection with Pachamuthu's wife?
She is like a daughter to me.
What the hell were you doing with your daughter at 10 pm in the Military Quarters?
Sir, you'd asked me to come?
Come this side.
Sir?
Do you know the woman sitting in the auto rickshaw?
Yes, sir.
The woman and her husband work for me.
What happened, sir?
This is restricted area.
I saw you get into an auto with that girl at this odd hour and followed you here.
When I questioned him, he gave conflicting answers.
She said she had her husband's phone and gave your number instead.
That's why I asked you to come over.
Come here, miss.
Take her home.
Get down, man.
Silence your phone. - Sorry, sir.
Thanks, sir.
Give it in writing that you won't harass the girl or I'll lock you up.
Buzz off.
Get going, man.
Who is he?
He was in love with me when I was in 12th grade.
I got into trouble when my parents found out he was in love with me.
Then he left the village after that.
I never saw him again.
Today, I collected my scan reports...
and when I flagged down an auto to come to the site...
he was in it.
I panicked.
I hesitantly got in.
He said he just wanted to talk for 10 minutes...
and brought me here.
And then the police came.
You'd tell us these things only if we grill you, huh?
Madam, I've written down all the information he said.
Sign and leave.
Chief!
Hello, this is L&O Head Constable Yusuf calling from Y-6 Police Station.
Yes, sir?
Did you catch a girl with an auto driver one night during patrol at the Defence Area?
Yes, about 3-4 months ago.
Sir, I need some information about him.
I'll ask around and get back to you. - Yes, please.
What are you doing? Let go of each other.
Give some support to the leg.
Sir?
Sir...
Did you get to know anything about Tulasi?
We will send word if we find out anything.
Get going.
Leave, man.
Hammer a nail here.
Who is that?
I'm talking to you, who is that?
Stop!
I don't know what happened to Tulasi.
They are not telling me anything.
And scolding me when I come to the station.
The police will never talk during an ongoing enquiry.
But they will conduct a complete enquiry, and then tell you everything. Okay?
Come in, sir.
Greetings, sir. - Hello, sir.
Please sit.
Bhai, get him some tea. - Okay.
No formalities.
No thanks, sir. I don't smoke.
Looks like you've moved half the stuff already.
Sir, he asked me about an auto driver in my limits.
His name is Ravi.
Last Sunday, he's stolen 5 Lakhs from the auto stand and disappeared.
My station received a complaint only last night.
I saw him in Defence Area with a pregnant woman 4 months ago.
I've got your name tattooed on my chest. How can I live with someone else?
Deliver the baby and give it to your husband..
Then let's run away somewhere. He was harassing her.
I gave him a warning...
and made him give it in writing that he won't harass the girl anymore.
Here is a copy of it.
Sir, his phone is switched off now.
It last received signal at the GH tower area around 12:00 am on Sunday night.
Very good.
I think your investigation will be very helpful in another case.
Bhai... - Sir?
Make a copy of these documents.
Sure, sir. - Take it.
Thank you so much, sir. - Anytime.
Sir!
The traffic inspector has sent RTO details about the auto.
You can leave.
Okay, sir.
Has sent RTO details about the auto.
I saw him in Defence Area with a pregnant woman 4 months ago.
I've got your name tattooed on my chest. How can I live with someone else?
He was harassing her.
The ATM theft case is also becoming very stressful.
I'll give you a letter for the missing woman case.
Deal with it carefully.
Okay, sir.
Okay, Vijayan.
Give the case details to the department officially.
WhatsApp the letter to me.
Okay, madam.
(Phone ringtone)
Hello?
I spoke to the DC regarding Pachamuthu's case...
and got the FAD letter.
Get the paper formalities ready...
and ask Pachamuthu to come to the station in the morning.
Ask the press to call me.
Okay, sir.
Hello?
The inspector asked you to come to the police station at 10 am.
Did you find out anything about Tulasi?
See you.
What is it at this hour?
I was unable to reach the foreman by phone.
He's gone to Andhra to get a couple married.
He won't be back for another week to ten days.
Is that so?
Okay, fine.
Hold on a second.
Place your fingerprint here.
Did you find Tulasi?
Hey!
Over here.
Is Tulasi okay?
They are hitting each other!
Stop fighting.
Tell me.
Greetings.
I'll be there. - Greetings, ma'am.
Madam, take a look.
One second.
Tell him to come inside.
Come with me.
Greetings, ma'am.
Greetings, madam.
No, kid.
How can you talk like this?
You are just a kid.
This is no age to use such words.
Listen to me, boy.
I'll come to your college and nab you.
You rascal!
Was it the college student, madam?
Yes.
Hello, Pachamuthu.
Upon enquiring into your wife's case...
we found out that your wife and an auto driver called Ravi...
were in love back in your village since school days.
That's not true, madam.
This is the guy.
No, madam. I have no idea who he is.
They secretly met behind your back.
The department has proof for that.
They are lying.
On Sunday morning, he stole 5 Lakhs worth of chit money from the auto stand...
and went to the hospital at night to get your wife.
No, madam. Please don't say such things.
Your wife's attender, Saroja...
when she was trying to steal the manhole cover behind the pregnancy ward...
the poisonous fumes killed her.
It doesn't make sense, madam.
The police isn't jobless enough to look for your wife who eloped with her illicit lover.
I have no one else but you, madam.
Please, madam. So, temporarily...
the department has put your case on hold.
Please investigate the case.
You'll have to come to the court sometime next month.
The station will call you to confirm the dates.
You shouldn't come to the station until then.
Go.
Look at this baby's face. Please help, madam.
Madam... - Yes?
The commissioner office asked you to come urgently.
I'm leaving.
Madam, please do something.
Please do something.
Please find Tulasi.
She wouldn't have eloped with anyone. She isn't that sort of a woman.
My wife loves me so dearly.
We lived such pure lives in the hills and forests.
My wife would never elope with someone.
After everything I told you, if you still want her...
wait outside the hospital.
She will come there to deliver another baby.
Please don't say that, madam.
You are a woman, too. How can you say such things?
I beg at your feet...
Please find my wife, madam. - Take him away.
Madam...
Madam! - Get out of the way.
Madam, I don't want to live.
Run me over.
Kill me and my baby before your leave.
Take him away!
Find my wife. - Move away.
How can I live without her? - Move it!
Madam, please don't go.
What are you doing? Make way for madam.
Sir, please find my wife.
Listen, yours isn't the only case we are dealing with.
There are Lakhs of people under this station's limits.
The AC told you, we are enquiring into it.
Listen to me. Leave now.
I didn't wait at the station for days to hear you say something like this, sir.
I don't know any other place except my work site.
I was counting on you, sir. Please find my wife.
Bhai, who are the two guys who were fighting?
Sir, please tell them to find my wife for me.
Sir, those two are the accused.
I came here to make a living, and I ended up losing my wife.
How am I going to raise the baby now?
Tulasi...
Tulasi!
'Tamilnadu Government secretariat'
Hello? - We are calling from the CM's cell.
Tell me, sir.
This is about a missing woman case in your division.
The CM's cell has received a complaint that you haven't handled the case properly.
I've faxed you a copy.
It's a sensitive issue. Be careful.
I'll take immediate action, sir.
Get in. I'll be back.
Get in, brother.
I'll be right back.
Go in.
Who is it? - I'll tell you. Go in.
You are upto illegal... - I'll slap you! Go in.
Who is that old man sitting outside our house every night?
I'm going to tell the inspector.
Sure, just tell the inspector that he gave me wads of money.
What's the old man got to do with you? - I don't need to tell you.
Then don't complain to me when the police beat you up!
I warned you... shut up, woman!
Let go of my hair.
You mongrel. How dare you hit me!
I'll show you who I am.
Get me the money.
Is he here?
Yeah, man.
Pass me the cigarettes.
Should I come along?
All of us don't need to expose ourselves.
Let me handle it.
Here you go.
How much is this?
Twenty five grand.
This isn't what we agreed upon.
The police is investigating in a different direction.
If you tell the police, you will be locked up with me.
Get going.
Death is the only thing left for me.
Being inside or outside makes no difference.
I know what to do.
Keep it.
So arrogant, huh?
Stop yapping. I'll take care of everything.
Hang up now. I'll take care of it.
Get down, man.
Are you drunk? Get down.
Oi...
Hey, what happened?
Wake up, man.
Yusuf Sir!
Yusuf Sir, please come here.
'M.G.R'
What happened?
Tell him.
Sir, I was returning from my rounds.
He asked for a lift till the station.
After we reached here, he collapsed.
I felt his pulse, and he was dead.
There are no marks on his body.
Looks like a head injury.
He has MGR tattooed on his arm.
I don't understand anything, sir.
Call for an ambulance and send the body to the hospital.
Make a press report of exactly what happened outside the station.
If someone comes for him, let's handle them.
Okay, sir.
You... - Sir?
Take two of our men and go to the spot you picked him up from.
See if you can find any evidence in a one kilometer radius.
Okay, sir.
Sir, he is an inspector from our station.
The poor guy is under suspension.
We should shut up and follow orders from the higher officials.
If we don't...
we will end up stuck in the court to get our job back.
Keep it. - Okay, sir.
Don't mistake me. - I'll talk to you later.
Let's go.
Come on.
Get down.
Walk.
Sir, I don't know anything.
Take him upstairs.
Go in. - Sir, please tell him.
I said, go in.
Move it. - Let me go, sir.
Go on.
Sir, I didn't do anything wrong.
I never said anything about you. - Take the baby from him.
Give the baby. - Sir, please don't.
Listen to us. Give me the baby. - Sir, please don't do this.
Give him the baby.
Sir, tell him to let go of my baby.
Just snatch it away from him. - Sir, my baby...
Let go.
Let go of the baby.
Give the baby to Bhai.
Take the baby away. - Sir, give my baby back!
Sir, please don't do this.
Sir, please let me go.
Sir, please. Someone save me.
They are killing me!
Sir, please don't hit me.
Sir, let me go.
Tulasi, they are killing me.
Sir, I pray to you...
Let me go.
Give me my baby, and I'll just disappear somewhere.
Give my baby back to me.
You dare file a petition with the CM's cell?
Tulasi, they've taken our baby away from us.
I don't care where you complain.
The officials might change.
But they are policemen too.
Sir, what shall we do with the baby?
Give it to an orphanage.
Let's make him suffer for a couple of days.
Lavanya, bring that baby.
If it's going to be hard for you, we can ask them to raise the baby here.
No, sir.
I'll take leave, madam. - Okay, sir.
Sir, I've handed the baby over to him from the orphanage.
Pass the phone to him.
Okay, sir.
It's the Sub Inspector.
You will have to come to the court next Monday.
You shouldn't tell the judge anything against the police, okay?
Okay, sir.
I'll hang up.
They could have beaten you to death for what you did.
You were spared because of the baby.
Be careful.
Okay?
Let's go.
I wrote a petition to the CM's cell hoping you'd get a solution.
But now that the petition has come back to the police...
you won't be able to fight against them any longer.
Just my two cents.
Let God take care of your wife's life...
and try to save this baby's life.
She is your life henceforth.
I'll see you.

Crime no 502/22.
Pachamuthu, Pachamuthu, Pachamuthu.
You don't have a lawyer?
I don't wish for a lawyer, ma'am.
Crime no 502/22.
Mistake of fact.
What's the reason, sir?
Greetings, madam.
Tulasi, a 26 year old woman from Denkanikottai...
was admitted to the Govt Maternity Hospital in Egmore for delivering her baby...
and went missing on 17-01-2022.
When the police conducted an enquiry...
they got information that Tulasi had an illicit affair...
and eloped with a man called Ravi.
Since this is an unidentified case...
we clarified this with Tulasi's husband, Pachamuthu.
Further, if there are any doubts regarding the veracity of the documents submitted...
I request you to question Inspector Vijayan, who handled this case.
So, under the "Further Action Dropped" provision according to law...
I request Your Highness to postpone this case.
Do you object to anything he just said?
Just meet the lawyer I told you about.
He will get it done. - No, ma'am.
Is he expensive? - Not at all!
Who is that outside?
Do you have no brains?
Are you 100% satisfied with the police enquiry?
Yes or no?
Yes.
In case number 502/2022,
The petitioner's approval of the RC notice has been obtained through a signature.
The court accepts the documents submitted by the police as real evidence.
The court orders that this case be temporarily postponed according to provisions under FAD.
You can go.
Sir, let's have lunch?
No thank you. I am going home for lunch.
Okay, sir. I'll call you later.
Madam?
What happened to the case, Vijayan? Is everything okay?
Vijayan?
Sit!
Vijayan, can you hear me? - Madam?
Is everything okay? - Yes, madam.
The judgement has been passed.
Come to the main gate.
(Police's walkie talkie)
The inspector might get there before us!
We will get into trouble if someone gets killed. Hurry up.
Hello, sir. We have a power cut. There is no one at the station.
I called the EB. They said the power will be restored only in the morning.
The inverter isn't working either.
I'll have a cup of tea and get some mosquito coils.
Okay.
Watch how you drive, you fool!
Smash the window. Undo the seat belt.
Sir, I'm trying to open it but I can't.
Sir, the police are here.
Hello?
Bhai, grab a stone and break the window.
Bad luck.
Bhai, call for an ambulance.
Sir, I already called for an ambulance.
An brand new expensive car. The airbags haven't opened up.
The girl inside has been injured to death.
What were you doing here?
Who are you? - Showroom sales executive, sir.
I got this woman here, on a test drive.
A test drive at 11 in the night?
There is a lot of competition.
For cars priced above 1.5 crores...
we go to the customers for their comfort zone.
Today was her birthday, too.
They said it was a surprise gift.
How did you get off the car?
I saw my childhood friend at the turning there.
I'm getting married next week.
When I mentioned that to her, she said...
Go ahead and talk to your friend. I'll make the U turn and come back.
I got down and realised it wasn't my friend.
Before I could apologise, she crashed the car.
I ran here but I couldn't open the door.
Who is the girl?
A high court lawyer's daughter.
Based on her phone conversation...
I got to know that her parents are just heading back from the US.
Sir, these are her possessions.
Have to removed all possessions? - Yes, sir.
I used her fingerprint to unlock her mobile phone.
Come over here.
Give me your phone number.
It's 98-432-63-429, sir.
You should come when I call you.
Okay, sir.
I'll take leave, sir.
I think it's the girl's grandfather. Convey the news to him.
Hello?
Yes.
Does this phone belong to your grand daughter?
Yes, who are you?
I am the L&O Head Constable from Y-6 Police Station.
What happened, sir?
Your granddaughter got into an accident due to bad driving...
Please be strong, sir.
Oh, dear. What happened, sir?
What happened to her?
Bhai, get in.
Coming, sir.
Stop the Patrol Car.
Was there an accident within our limits, Vijayan?
Yes, madam.
I just sent the body.
The girl was dead on the spot.
Oh.
Come to the back of the DC's office now.
Okay, madam. I'll be there.
We've sent the body to the GH. Move the vehicle.
Go to the DC's office.
Madam, this is a matter of prestige concerning our brand.
Our Indian MD has come here on a chartered flight.
We can open the airbags in the crashed car even now.
Our Chief Mechanic from Mumbai is on the way.
Madam, please help us out.
And we have a lifetime offer that you can't refuse.
Madam, please.
Just a minute.
Take your own time, madam.
The crashed car has been booked all over the world...
and is waiting delivery.
They'd launched the car only yesterday in Chennai during the auspicious day of Pongal.
And now that car got into an accident...
and due to some manufacturing defect, the airbags didn't open...
resulting in a spot death.
Additionally, in such models, when you drive the car...
if you want to suddenly turn and talk to somebody...
the car will stop.
The DC has personally ordered us to close the case in favour of the car company.
There is pressure from a central minister in this case.
I understand, madam.
If the media exposes the fact that the lawyer's daughter died due to airbag failure...
the rival car company might undertake this case...
to damage this car brand.
So they fear the brand value will take a hit and affect global sales.
I'm calling from Traffic, madam.
Our DC has asked us to follow up with you regarding the car accident case.
Okay, I'll call you.
Our assignment is...
we need a post-mortem report that says the airbags opened during the crash...
and the girl died due to a shock.
But that girl sent a selfie to her father in which she's seen wearing her seat belt.
The accident happened 5 seconds after she sent that.
Have a look, madam.
Due to the speed of the crash...
the digital watch in the car and her wrist watch stopped at the same time...
and got committed as perfect evidence for the time of the crash.
So we can't claim the airbags didn't open because she didn't wear her seat belt.
This is a tough case, madam.
Okay, send me that photo on WhatsApp.
Switch off the phone of the guy who came for the test drive...
and keep him in your contact.
Okay, madam.
Hello?
Bhai, is Vijayan around?
Yes, madam.
Sir, the ACP is on the line.
Yes, madam?
Vijayan, your phone was not reachable.
Everything is going as per plan.
You can proceed.
Okay, madam.
Hello?
Sir, this is Isaac Sir's junior here.
Where is her body? When can we see it?
I'm sure you know...
We will show you the body to get a confirmation before the post-mortem.
Where is the crashed car now?
It's at our station. Come over.
Let's go.
Sir...
Sir!
This is the grandfather of the girl who died in the accident.
How could she do such a thing on her birthday, sir!
Only last week I warned her not to take her hands off the wheel while driving.
Sir, please don't cry.
Get him some water to drink.
What am I going to tell her parents when they return to the country?
This is so tragic.
Don't cry. Please drink some water.
Drink.
Sir, he is the personal driver of the girl's father.
Sir, he is the girl's uncle.
Let's look at the car.
You wait inside.
Okay, sir.
Why did it take so long to get the car here?
We only have one recovery vehicle for every 35 kms.
So we got a little delayed.
Have you informed the girl's parents?
I've informed my brother, sir.
The flight is delayed due to the weather, sir.
They've asked me to handle the post-mortem formalities, sir.
My brother will be here day after tomorrow morning.
He said he'll sign and collect the body himself.
Okay, sure.
Bhai, get his signature...
and get the post-mortem formalities done.
Okay, sir.
I'll get back to you after I talk to the doctor in the hospital.
Sir, why are you so stressed out?
I don't understand.
Don't worry about it, Bhai.
Have dinner, take your meds, and get some sleep.
Madam?
Vijayan? - Yes, madam?
Very urgent. Come to the GH.
What happened, madam? - Just come to the mortuary.
I'll be there right away.
See you, sir.
Peace be unto you. - And unto you peace.
She looks like Sultana.
Come here, little one.
Give this to her.
If you need something for the baby, let me know.
I'll take care of it.
What is it, little one?
It's okay, baby. It's okay.
Give me a second.
Inspector...
I'll be back.
Hello?
Sir... hello?
It's okay, baby. It's okay.
It's okay, sweetheart.
Grandpa, give me your phone. Let's take a selfie.
Where are you, Vijayan?
I'm here at the spot, madam.
Execute the plan.
Should I do it now?
Six months ago, you were about to be suspended for a lock-up death case.
'Mortuary'
My older sister is getting married. My younger sister needs to study. You said...
and begged us at the DC's office with your whole family, remember?
You expect the department to help you when you get into trouble.
But when the department needs a favour from you, you don't want to do it, huh?
Sorry, madam.
Bhai, look at what you've gotten us into!
Hello, this is Doctor Roshan.
ACP Indumathi shared some details over the phone.
Where are you now?
Bhai, stay here.
I'll be back.
Sir, I am Inspector Vijayan.
Please sit, sir.
Thanks.
But we are dealing with emotionally charged people, sir.
Their vision will be clouded.
Their mind will be too numb to notice anything odd.
Political pressure. Please understand, sir.
Why are you here at the GH at this hour?
You took the auto with you, too!
Give me the auto keys.
I don't need to explain to you.
Here, take the auto and leave.
How dare you walk away when I'm still talking!
I'll sort you out when you come home.
You will have to come to me when you get into some trouble.
She is going overboard, man. - Forget it, buddy. Let's go.
Come here, man.
Where are you roaming instead of coming to our auto stand?
Come here.
I'm talking to you!
Get in, man.
He isn't going anywhere!
(Phone ringtone)
Sir...
Bhai, come in.
Grab her legs, Bhai.
Do it!
Bhai, see who it is.
Bhai...
This is the only slot we got for doing the post mortem.
There are fewer doctors around because of pongal.
I get it, sir.
Over here. A little to this side.
This is your niece, right?
Sign here.
We've got permission to do the post-mortem at night using our influence.
Sir, please don't cry in here.
Please step out.
It's a perfect match, sir.
We just need a clean and smooth postmortem report.
Okay, you manage with the identity change.
Though there will be problem with the blood group.
But I'll take care of it.
Rest assured.
Thank you, sir.
It's over, madam.
Be alert till we hand over the body in the morning.
Okay, ma'am.
If the public and media get to know about this...
You should confess that only you two were involved in this for money.
The department will unofficially take care of you.
Okay? Just relax.
Vijayan...
these are very rare formalities.
Take care.
Sir, this is a graphically altered version of the photo taken at the crash site.
Where did you get this done?
Our corporate company from China, sir.
It's very confidential, sir.
I've sent you a copy on WhatsApp, sir.
Tell the test-drive guy to come to the mortuary in the morning.
Sure, sir.
Clean it really well. There should be no scent of blood.
Okay, sir.
The accident happened within my limits.
I'm handling your daughter's case.
Come here.
Come on.
He was the one who took her on a test drive.
Tell him what happened.
When I got down, she didn't have her hands on the steering wheel when she started driving.
She took off her hair band with her left hand...
and fixed her hair using both hands.
Suddenly, she went off balance...
went over speed, and crashed into the pillar.
Sir, this is a photo I clicked at the spot.
There were no injuries. She died from the shock.
Sir...
you know the procedure, if you claim return of property at the court...
we will hand over her possessions to the court.
Bhai...
Sir, please read through this.
Bhai, give him a pen.
Sir, over here.
Look at me, dear girl.
The body has started to decompose. Let's make this quick.
Bhai, tell the press whatever the sales executive said...
as the reason for the accident.
Dispose the advocate's daughter's body very carefully.
You just need to be there.
The doctor will take care of the rest.
Sir, can you hear me?
Sir, the signal is poor here.
I'll come to the station?
I'll let you know. Where are you now?
Sir, I'm here at the Government Hospital, visiting one of my relatives who just had a baby.
Sir, you wouldn't believe it...
Hello?
What's this?
Sir, remember the girl who died in the accident last night?
I saw a girl who looks exactly like her in this hospital.
Bhai, this is the ACP here.
Hello? Sorry...
Madam, I dialled your number by mistake.
No, you did the right thing by calling me.
We found the body of an unclaimed Sri Lankan refugee at Ramnad GH.
Her face somewhat resembled that of Rita, who died in the car accident.
So we opened the air bags and made it look like there was no fault in the car.
But our bad luck, some organisation came and collected the body at 3 am.
Since the Collector of Ramnad got directly involved, we couldn't hold the body.
We even looked in women's jails and mortuaries.
We couldn't find anyone who looks like Rita.
The car company is backed by political influence.
We are also facing pressure from our higher officials.
Do as I say, Bhai.
Madam...
This station has seen so many cases in these 50 odd years...
and it finally claimed the life of our Bhai too.
Bhai was such a good person.
He went into depression after the GH episode.
Even I feel guilty, madam.
Actually, I wanted to become a doctor, madam.
Don't talk like an idiot, Vijayan.
We fit into the existing system.
The system doesn't change for us.
The turning point in this case which saved us was...
when you secretly caught scent of that auto driver, Ravi.
See if the chain in this photo is the same as the one he pawned.
It's the same chain, sir.
Sir...
It was just a small auto stand dispute and I threatened him.
Then I got to know he had a lot of money on him.
When we were fighting over the money, he died.
Burn this body discreetly...
I'll make sure you don't get into trouble.
I'll give you fifty grand.
Keep this chain for now.
I discreetly burned his body with another corpse.
Was it him you burned?
It was this guy, sir.
Ask him for the money he owes you.
Don't let him know that I met you.
I predicted that Saroja's brother will kill him when he asks for the money...
and my prediction was spot on.
We spared Saroja's brother because we have no reason to interfere.
He thinks we don't know he killed Ravi.
Vijayan, do you know who is the best speaker in the world?
It's the silent money.
Let's go.
Yes, brother?
Tomorrow, my boys will come to the police station.
Okay, brother. - Let them off lightly, okay?
Okay, brother. - I'll take care of you.
Tell them to come in the morning, I'll get it done.
Okay, then.
Sir, you haven't been the same person since you resumed duty.
You've changed a lot.
What can I do? I need to survive in this world.
I'll see you, boy.
Sir, I've been seriously working out.
I'll definitely make the cut in the next SI selections.
I will, sir.
Let's go.
Brother...
Thanks.
Brother?
This is my wife, Tulasi.
She's been missing since pongal.
I've been looking for her.
Have you seen her anywhere while selling tea?
No, brother. I haven't seen here anywhere.
Brother?
Brother...
This is my wife, Tulasi.
She's been missing since pongal.
Have you seen her anywhere?
