(birds chirping)
This tastes great!
So, how old was the cat?
She was 12.
Wow, she lived that long?
Lucky!
I had a cat back home.
It died when it was three.
Even at 12 years old, she wasn't in bad health.
She was very active.
Now,
we don't know what happened so suddenly.
John...
Can we not talk about this now?
Please.
She's getting upset.
Well, can I ask something?
Could it have been a snake or something like that?
The rabbit incident happened just the other day, right?
That's why I asked.
Maybe...
Well, Shobha...
We should clear the bushes near the farm, at least now.
I'll tell Jackson today itself.
(exaggerated finger licking)
(burps)
(thoughtful music)
(sharp cymbal)
- Jackson! - Yes, ma'am?
- Watch out for snakes over there. - Okay, ma'am.
(tense music)
Pushpa...
- Move those sticks from there. - Okay.
All of them.
Mom!
(tense music continues)
Mom, I wasn't the one who ate that food the other day.
(tense music continues)
(music fades out)
(clock ticking)
(music rises)
(music fades out)
(John) The cat ate it?
So what?
What's she going on about?
Let it go.
After she brought it up, I checked everything,
including all the shelves.
There's nothing wrong.
Basically, she didn't like the room being locked
and the paying guest coming in.
She started this the very day he arrived,
blaming him for everything.
See this?
This is her browsing history.
"How to kick a guest out?"
This is all she's thinking about now.
It's turning into an obsession.
I said it even then that we should've got her a counsellor.
Isn't she behaving like she's mentally disturbed now?
(John) Like she's gone crazy.
Gosh!
(melancholic music)
(tense music rises)
(door unlocks)
You!
I know how Kitty died!
You're the one who killed Kitty.
- There was something in your food. - Hands off me!
Everything started going wrong the day you arrived.
You will kill...
- You will kill everyone. - (shushing)
You'll kill everyone just like you killed Kitty.
Calm down! Shut up! Shut up!
You brainwashed Dad and Mom.
But don't think you can fool me.
(muffled shouts)
(Shobha) What's going on here?
(John) Rosu!
(Shobha) Dear...
(receding footsteps)
Err, Uncle...
(receding footsteps)
This has gone way too far, John.
No matter why he did it,
I didn't like him covering her mouth like that.
We can't justify what she did to him either.
I didn't ask you to justify it!
She is a girl.
Don't you know how old she is?
What am I supposed to do now?
Should I throw him out?
Are you saying I should ask him to leave tomorrow morning?
I will tell him.
I don't care.
Kavitha is your friend, right?
It's your friendship that's going to get strained.
We've managed this far already.
He'll leave in a few days.
Let him leave like that. That's better.
If he can keep himself in check,
I don't care how long he stays.
But touching her like that?
I won't tolerate it.
(music rises)
(music fades out)
I need to say something.
I'm leaving tomorrow.
Actually...
Um... what happened yesterday...
it wasn't on purpose. I am really sorry.
Err...
I've been living alone and...
You know how it is, right?
When a girl suddenly comes barging into my room...
that too at night...
I thought someone might hear about this and get the wrong idea.
I mean, I am extremely sorry.
I panicked all of a sudden.
That's what happened.
It's okay, Jerry.
Even in that moment of panic,
I shouldn't have touched her.
I know it was my fault.
So...
So it wouldn't be right for me to stay here any longer.
It's okay, Jerry... Cool.
- Don't worry. - But still...
There are no "buts."
It's okay.
Actually...
for what she did, we're also...
sorry.
Hey, no problem! It's okay.
You're here only for four more days anyway, right?
There's no need to leave in a hurry.
Leave happily after that.
Right, Shobha?
Right.
Eat, Jerry. Here.
That's enough.
(mouths) Sorry.
(tense tone rises)
(music fades out)
(motorcycle engine starts)
(motorcycle rides away)
Shobha, I'll drop by the Village Office on my way.
I need to submit the farm licence for renewal.
- All right. - All right then.
(tense music)
Rosu, Aaron is inside.
Keep an eye on him.
I'm heading to the farm.
Okay?
(receding footsteps)
(music rises)
(Aaron giggles)
Shh!
(tense music rises)
(lock clicks)
(tense music continues)
(indistinct static)
(static stops)
(tense music continues)
(tense music rises)
(music fades out)
What is this?
(tense music)
(music fades down)
(call connecting tone)
The number you're calling is out of coverage area.
The number you're calling is--
(call connecting tone)
The number you're calling is--
(reflective music)
Hey, Jomon!
Didn't you recognise me?
What's going on? All good?
- All good. - Where are you these days?
(Rosu) Mom, I warned you earlier.
He is dangerous.
He is very dangerous.
How many times do I tell you?
No one listened to what I said.
Everyone took his side.
(phone line ringing)
He is a crook!
None of you believed me.
And not even you!
Everyone took his side.
He's a liar and a cheat.
Why did you give him so much freedom in this house anyway?
How did he respond when Kitty died?
You even let him touch Aaron!
I don't like him. I hate him!
- Enough of this. Ask him to-- - Shh!
(phone vibrating)
Hello.
(Kavitha) Shobha, did you call?
Err... Yes, chechi...
I wanted to ask you something.
What happened?
Chechi, do you know someone called Jomon Skariah?
Um...
Jomon Skariah?
Yes.
That name...
I don't...
Oh, wait! That's our Jerry.
His actual name is Jomon.
Jerry is the name he was given at church.
Everyone here calls him Jerry.
What's the matter, Shobha?
It's nothing, chechi.
I will call you back.
- Thank you. Bye. - Okay.
(approaching motorcycle)
(mysterious music)
(music fades out)
(reflective music)
(phone line ringing)
- (Kavitha) Hello? - Chechi?
Yes, Shobha.
Err... Well...
Chechi, you said Jerry is your relative, right?
Yes.
At your father's birthday function,
was Jerry there?
Err... I don't remember seeing him.
He was there.
He was somewhere around.
You might not have noticed him.
Oh, okay...
Sorry, chechi. Thank you.
- Bye. - Okay, bye.
(music fades out)
(suspenseful music)
May I come in?
(suspenseful music continues)
Dear...
I'm not against you.
But we shouldn't start suspecting and blaming someone without reason.
I can't afford to strain my relationships.
At the very least,
he's a guest who's come to our house.
Isn't there a limit to how much you can insult him?
And he is going to be here for just a few more days.
After that, you can do whatever you want.
Don't embarrass me for no reason.
Please.
(tsks)
(phone vibrating)
Hello.
(Kavitha) Hey, Jerry!
Did something go wrong there?
Shobha called me.
She asked me whether Jomon is your real name.
Hello?
- Can't you hear me? - Hmm.
- Okay. - Did you hear what I said?
Hello? Hey, Jer--
Excuse me!
I'm looking for someone named Jerry here.
Jerry?
There's no one here by that name.
It's not Jerry...
Sorry...
Jomon. Jomon Skariah.
That should be his name here.
I don't know anyone here with that name.
Anyway, you can ask at the office desk.
- All right, thank you. - Okay.
(Jerry) Chechi!
What brings you here?
I made some rabbit curry.
- Oh! - I thought I'd bring it over for lunch.
(tense tone)
Thank you!
Why did you come in from outside like this?
Well... I went out to smoke.
Oh.
Okay, then.
Jerry!
Err...
Jerry, if you don't mind...
can I come in with you?
I'd like to see your workplace
and meet the people you work with.
Err...
Yes.
I went into your room today to tidy it up.
Sorry.
I didn't ask before going in.
- I hope you don't have a problem. - No, there's no problem.
I went in since it had been a few days since I last cleaned it.
I see.
Jerry, your real name is Jomon, right?
- Yeah. - I saw it on your ID.
Jerry is what they call me at home.
See, that's the desk I work at.
Jerry, what about the others who work with you?
I'm wondering the same thing.
I don't know where they went all of a sudden.
(unsettling tone)
Right...
There they are.
Those are the people I work with.
Saramma, Anitha and Candy.
Hi!
(crickets chirping)
(upbeat music filters in)
(upbeat music continues)
(music continues faintly)
(music stops abruptly)
(footsteps ascending)
(pleasant music)
(music rises)
Happy birthday!
(music fades out)
How about we call Jerry too?
I don't think he has slept.
No.
All right.
(music rises)
(music fades down)
He was strict about getting you a scooter
only if you learnt to ride soon.
I've convinced him to go easy on that.
The scooter's already been booked.
It will be delivered next week. We'll go and get it then.
- Thank you! - (John) Oh!
So she's getting all the hugs now?
No, no... Both the gifts are from your mom.
After I tell you what my gift is, you may hug me.
What is it now?
I don't know how excited you'll be.
But this is for our happiness.
Everything you see here is all we truly own.
And what we have is yours.
So...
This Rose Valley...
We are transferring its ownership to you, dear.
What? Aren't you gonna hug me? (laughs)
Hi, Jerry! Come.
What is it? Everyone looks so happy.
There's a good reason for that.
Right, Rosu?
Oh! Is it your birthday?
- Yes. - Happy birthday!
We did a small cake-cutting yesterday.
We didn't disturb you since it got very late.
That's not a problem.
Breakfast is still getting ready.
- Sit down, Jerry. - Okay.
I will bring the cake by then.
- Come, sit. - All right.
(John) What's that file you're holding?
(Jerry) This?
This is my dissertation file.
Actually, my research here is almost done.
I'll be leaving in a day or two.
Phew! This is the best birthday gift ever!
Shh!
(pleasant music)
A new purse.
Cash.
A new debit card.
Now, don't complain that you don't have anything Adithi has.
Thank you.
(approaching motorcycle)
(tense tone)
(suspenseful music)
- Why are you here, sir? - I'm out for an evening walk.
(suspenseful music continues)
(tense music)
(tense music continues)
(tense music rises)
(eerie music)
The job is done.
But it's not fully done yet.
What does that mean? How many more days?
Based on what I told them earlier,
I'm supposed to be here for just two more days.
I'll try to stretch it by another couple of days.
You should stay here for a few more days
even after I leave.
That way, they won't suspect anything.
I will stay.
(tense music)
Hey...
Can we settle this without spilling blood?
If blood needs to be spilt,
then blood will be spilt.
A cat's blood has already been spilt.
(tense music continues)
(approaching footsteps)
Velu...
(music fades down)
Chechi!
When I found someone to smoke with...
Oh!
(receding footsteps)
(tense tone)
(thrilling music)
(thrilling music continues)
