(piercing title music)

00:00:25.865 --> 00:00:27.985 align:center
(majestic brass music)

00:00:38.865 --> 00:00:40.625 align:center
(mystic music swells)

00:01:02.785 --> 00:01:05.425 align:center
(rhythmic music)

00:02:20.545 --> 00:02:22.585 align:center
(police dog huffing)

00:02:26.145 --> 00:02:27.905 align:center
(chaotic chatter)

00:02:28.785 --> 00:02:30.744 align:center
(man 1) Don't stand here.
Listen to me!

00:02:30.745 --> 00:02:32.185 align:center
(man 2) Don't stand in the way.
Leave!

00:02:32.905 --> 00:02:34.625 align:center
- (man 1) I asked you to leave.
- (man 2) Let go of my hand. What's this?

00:02:35.105 --> 00:02:37.705 align:center
- (man 3) Let us work!
- (man 2) Can't you understand?

00:02:38.145 --> 00:02:42.545 align:center
(man 3) Move, kid.
What are kids doing here?

00:02:42.985 --> 00:02:44.745 align:center
(suspenseful music builds)

00:02:58.465 --> 00:03:01.625 align:center
(low tempo suspense music)

00:03:08.705 --> 00:03:10.705 align:center
(distant crowd chatter)

00:03:12.385 --> 00:03:13.344 align:center
- (man) Hey! What's this?
- Hey!

00:03:13.345 --> 00:03:14.825 align:center
(man) The dog is ready
to bite the boss.

00:03:14.945 --> 00:03:16.305 align:center
- (man 2) Bro, what if he did it?
- Get down.

00:03:22.785 --> 00:03:24.065 align:center
(crowd chatter increases)

00:03:26.025 --> 00:03:27.705 align:center
(whimsical music)

00:03:51.465 --> 00:03:53.945 align:center
(indistinct chatter)

00:03:54.665 --> 00:03:55.665 align:center
(huffing)

00:03:56.985 --> 00:03:58.145 align:center
(Sidharthan) Hey, Selvam.
Stop there.

00:03:58.545 --> 00:03:59.545 align:center
Something is there.

00:03:59.705 --> 00:04:01.904 align:center
(man 1) Move back.

00:04:01.905 --> 00:04:03.545 align:center
- Go away, madam.
- (man 2) Move!

00:04:12.225 --> 00:04:13.985 align:center
(music swells)

00:04:24.545 --> 00:04:25.705 align:center
(mobile camera clicks)

00:04:58.945 --> 00:04:59.945 align:center
(mobile camera clicks)

00:05:01.065 --> 00:05:02.825 align:center
(birds chirping)

00:05:04.745 --> 00:05:06.265 align:center
(crowd chatter)

00:05:06.385 --> 00:05:07.465 align:center
(engine starting)

00:05:44.945 --> 00:05:45.865 align:center
Hey, you!

00:05:46.105 --> 00:05:47.945 align:center
I asked you to get a box
to keep the head,

00:05:48.065 --> 00:05:50.265 align:center
but you got this box
from the bakery.

00:05:50.865 --> 00:05:52.345 align:center
Sir, this is
all I could find nearby.

00:05:52.545 --> 00:05:54.305 align:center
- It's a snack box.
- A snack box?

00:05:55.665 --> 00:05:56.784 align:center
- Paulraj.
- Sir?

00:05:56.785 --> 00:05:58.984 align:center
Take Thangamudi's bike and
go to the station. No one's there.

00:05:58.985 --> 00:05:59.945 align:center
- Sure, sir.
- Hmm.

00:06:01.465 --> 00:06:02.904 align:center
Hey, did you count the cash?

00:06:02.905 --> 00:06:04.185 align:center
There's ₹2 lakh, sir.

00:06:04.385 --> 00:06:07.025 align:center
But the letter doesn't say how much.

00:06:08.145 --> 00:06:11.224 align:center
He wrote everything clearly,
but he left this out.

00:06:11.225 --> 00:06:13.665 align:center
Maybe he didn't mention it
because he trusts officers like you.

00:06:17.025 --> 00:06:18.304 align:center
- Thangamudi.
- Huh?

00:06:18.305 --> 00:06:19.504 align:center
Keep the head in the box.

00:06:19.505 --> 00:06:21.545 align:center
Sir, it's the 13th day of the moon.
I can't touch things like that.

00:06:21.785 --> 00:06:23.825 align:center
- Kaalaiya, come on!
- Hey!

00:06:26.105 --> 00:06:28.105 align:center
Karuppu, do it.

00:06:28.265 --> 00:06:30.425 align:center
Brother, why are you asking me
to do this?

00:06:30.545 --> 00:06:31.785 align:center
What if spirits start haunting me?

00:06:32.145 --> 00:06:33.504 align:center
(tsks) Hey!

00:06:33.505 --> 00:06:35.065 align:center
(in a low voice) Pregnant goat.

00:06:35.465 --> 00:06:36.505 align:center
Huh?

00:06:36.985 --> 00:06:38.145 align:center
(low and steady) Pregnant goat!

00:06:38.265 --> 00:06:39.185 align:center
Keep it inside.

00:06:40.905 --> 00:06:41.825 align:center
Go on!

00:06:56.865 --> 00:06:58.825 align:center
(quirky, bumbling suspense music)

00:07:02.665 --> 00:07:03.865 align:center
(in a hushed tone) Easy, easy...
Do it carefully!

00:07:10.505 --> 00:07:11.545 align:center
Close it.

00:07:12.185 --> 00:07:13.705 align:center
- Hmm.
- Close it just like that.

00:07:15.385 --> 00:07:16.545 align:center
(fan whirring)

00:07:17.145 --> 00:07:18.105 align:center
What is this?

00:07:18.745 --> 00:07:19.745 align:center
It's a head, sir.

00:07:20.185 --> 00:07:23.225 align:center
I can see that. How can I conduct
a post-mortem with just a head?

00:07:23.465 --> 00:07:24.424 align:center
Where's the body?

00:07:24.425 --> 00:07:25.745 align:center
Well, we're looking for it, sir.

00:07:25.905 --> 00:07:26.905 align:center
It'll be found, sir.

00:07:27.185 --> 00:07:30.785 align:center
Do one thing. Take the head and
bring it along with the body.

00:07:31.025 --> 00:07:32.505 align:center
Only then can I conduct
the post-mortem.

00:07:32.665 --> 00:07:35.425 align:center
Sir, what's the cause of death?

00:07:36.065 --> 00:07:37.065 align:center
Use your brain for once!

00:07:37.225 --> 00:07:38.585 align:center
Why are you asking me?

00:07:38.825 --> 00:07:41.065 align:center
They cut off the head
and left it here, right?

00:07:41.465 --> 00:07:42.625 align:center
Yeah.

00:07:43.785 --> 00:07:45.065 align:center
Go on. Get it out of here.

00:08:23.105 --> 00:08:24.625 align:center
Go on!
Get it inside.

00:08:27.825 --> 00:08:28.785 align:center
(Sidharthan grunts)

00:08:30.425 --> 00:08:31.865 align:center
(suspenseful music)

00:08:41.265 --> 00:08:43.025 align:center
(crickets chirping)

00:08:43.305 --> 00:08:45.425 align:center
- (sputtering and coughing)
- (Kaalai Pandiyan) Go easy!

00:08:45.585 --> 00:08:46.545 align:center
(clears throat)

00:08:46.785 --> 00:08:48.144 align:center
- Kaalaiya!
- Hmm?

00:08:48.145 --> 00:08:49.825 align:center
He's your guardian deity!

00:08:50.745 --> 00:08:53.785 align:center
He's the reason
we're still stuck in this station.

00:08:54.105 --> 00:08:55.064 align:center
Happy now?

00:08:55.065 --> 00:08:56.344 align:center
- Hmm.
- Get lost.

00:08:56.345 --> 00:08:58.345 align:center
Go home and cling to
your wife and that goat of yours!

00:08:58.785 --> 00:09:00.385 align:center
Look at him, still smiling!

00:09:00.545 --> 00:09:01.465 align:center
(clears throat)

00:09:02.025 --> 00:09:02.945 align:center
(coughs)

00:09:03.385 --> 00:09:05.705 align:center
Even a doctor has no respect
for our station!

00:09:05.905 --> 00:09:07.865 align:center
(Thangamudi) He just handed
the head back to us!

00:09:08.625 --> 00:09:11.145 align:center
Did he even study medicine? Huh?

00:09:11.305 --> 00:09:12.265 align:center
(Thangamudi coughs)

00:09:12.385 --> 00:09:15.145 align:center
For lives that end anonymously
like his,

00:09:15.545 --> 00:09:17.185 align:center
there's only the police for them.

00:09:17.825 --> 00:09:20.665 align:center
He's our responsibility
until he gets justice.

00:09:21.625 --> 00:09:22.785 align:center
(sighs)

00:09:23.945 --> 00:09:26.905 align:center
The dead man is always our friend.

00:09:27.185 --> 00:09:30.425 align:center
His killer?
He's always our enemy.

00:09:31.745 --> 00:09:34.145 align:center
So...
cheers for justice!

00:09:34.305 --> 00:09:35.345 align:center
- (in unison) Cheers!
- (majestic music ends)

00:09:36.545 --> 00:09:39.185 align:center
(cowbell clinking)

00:09:43.945 --> 00:09:46.145 align:center
(upbeat tempo music)

00:09:49.105 --> 00:09:51.784 align:center
Your mother wasn't well, right?
How's she now?

00:09:51.785 --> 00:09:52.785 align:center
She's doing well.

00:09:52.905 --> 00:09:55.185 align:center
- How's your wife doing?
- She's doing great.

00:09:55.545 --> 00:09:56.824 align:center
(loud, heavy knocking on iron door)

00:09:56.825 --> 00:09:58.464 align:center
Who's the bull knocking
on the door now?

00:09:58.465 --> 00:10:00.985 align:center
It's not a bull, it's a cow!
Get out here.

00:10:01.105 --> 00:10:02.105 align:center
It's you?

00:10:03.705 --> 00:10:05.105 align:center
(mug clatters into the bucket)

00:10:06.785 --> 00:10:07.904 align:center
(scoffs)

00:10:07.905 --> 00:10:09.024 align:center
What is it?

00:10:09.025 --> 00:10:11.905 align:center
- Your mother bought a new cow.
- Huh?

00:10:12.465 --> 00:10:13.784 align:center
Go see for yourself!

00:10:13.785 --> 00:10:14.985 align:center
(anklet chimes fade)

00:10:16.745 --> 00:10:18.425 align:center
(man) Pandi, tie the cow there.

00:10:19.985 --> 00:10:22.345 align:center
I said nobody respects you.
Did you listen at all?

00:10:22.505 --> 00:10:24.904 align:center
(man) Not the calf!
Let it roam freely.

00:10:24.905 --> 00:10:25.945 align:center
- Mother...
- (man) Leave it.

00:10:26.225 --> 00:10:27.224 align:center
Mother!

00:10:27.225 --> 00:10:28.225 align:center
What did I tell you?

00:10:28.625 --> 00:10:30.025 align:center
I told you not to buy
a cow, didn't I?

00:10:32.105 --> 00:10:33.265 align:center
As if I care!

00:10:33.985 --> 00:10:35.344 align:center
You did this
even after I told you not to.

00:10:35.345 --> 00:10:36.625 align:center
Then what respect do I have here?

00:10:37.345 --> 00:10:39.665 align:center
Your say does matter here,
after all!

00:10:39.825 --> 00:10:42.985 align:center
But this house carries some respect.
You should keep that in mind.

00:10:43.945 --> 00:10:47.064 align:center
Even folks with nothing
to their name raise two cows,

00:10:47.065 --> 00:10:48.584 align:center
milk them and get by.

00:10:48.585 --> 00:10:51.425 align:center
Do you want me to go begging around
the street for a pot for milk?

00:10:51.665 --> 00:10:54.665 align:center
You will buy it. And who's left to
clean its dung and tend to it?

00:10:55.265 --> 00:10:57.705 align:center
I swear
your wife doesn't have to do it.

00:10:58.025 --> 00:10:59.785 align:center
Pechi said she would
take care of it.

00:11:02.145 --> 00:11:03.425 align:center
What will you do now?

00:11:04.985 --> 00:11:06.625 align:center
Are you trying to
make me go mad?

00:11:08.785 --> 00:11:11.384 align:center
- Hey, don't play cop with me!
- Hey!

00:11:11.385 --> 00:11:12.544 align:center
- Give it here!
- Drop it.

00:11:12.545 --> 00:11:14.144 align:center
Poor guy! He's waiting.
Give it to me!

00:11:14.145 --> 00:11:15.225 align:center
Let go!

00:11:18.025 --> 00:11:19.025 align:center
Here you go.

00:11:19.345 --> 00:11:20.744 align:center
- You can go.
- Okay.

00:11:20.745 --> 00:11:22.065 align:center
(man) Pandi, let's go.

00:11:24.745 --> 00:11:26.305 align:center
(quirky music)

00:11:46.545 --> 00:11:47.705 align:center
(engine whirring)

00:11:48.145 --> 00:11:50.184 align:center
- How many days of leave do you have?
- I have a flight next Friday.

00:11:50.185 --> 00:11:51.225 align:center
- Hey!
- What's the matter, sir?

00:11:51.905 --> 00:11:53.345 align:center
Do you know him?

00:11:55.705 --> 00:11:57.025 align:center
- I don't know, sir. I don't know.
- Huh?

00:11:57.345 --> 00:11:58.385 align:center
- What about you?
- I don't know him, brother.

00:11:58.585 --> 00:11:59.744 align:center
- What about you, brother?
- No.

00:11:59.745 --> 00:12:00.944 align:center
No, sir. We don't know him.

00:12:00.945 --> 00:12:01.985 align:center
Let's go.

00:12:06.705 --> 00:12:08.105 align:center
(dog barking)

00:12:10.825 --> 00:12:13.065 align:center
(woman) How long will you
comb your hair?

00:12:16.745 --> 00:12:17.705 align:center
Brother.

00:12:18.505 --> 00:12:19.985 align:center
- Hello, sir.
- Hello.

00:12:20.265 --> 00:12:21.785 align:center
Have you seen this guy anywhere?

00:12:22.665 --> 00:12:24.465 align:center
No, sir. I don't recall
seeing him before.

00:12:24.825 --> 00:12:25.905 align:center
Hey, have you seen him?

00:12:26.745 --> 00:12:28.385 align:center
- No, sir. I haven't.
- No, sir.

00:12:30.185 --> 00:12:31.105 align:center
Sir.

00:12:32.625 --> 00:12:33.585 align:center
They say they don't know.

00:12:33.705 --> 00:12:34.785 align:center
They don't know?

00:12:40.305 --> 00:12:43.625 align:center
(man 1) What have you been
staring at for 30 minutes?

00:12:44.745 --> 00:12:45.744 align:center
A picture of a woman?

00:12:45.745 --> 00:12:47.185 align:center
Do you really need this
at your age?

00:12:47.505 --> 00:12:49.104 align:center
- (man 2) You're just jealous of me.
- (man 1) Sure!

00:12:49.105 --> 00:12:50.105 align:center
- I'm so jealous of you!
- Hey!

00:12:50.265 --> 00:12:51.744 align:center
Go away!
Welcome, sir.

00:12:51.745 --> 00:12:52.665 align:center
Welcome, sir.

00:12:52.785 --> 00:12:54.424 align:center
- Have some tea and <i>vada.</i>
- Tea!

00:12:54.425 --> 00:12:55.784 align:center
- Two teas.
- All right.

00:12:55.785 --> 00:12:57.705 align:center
- One normal and one special for sir.
- Okay.

00:12:57.825 --> 00:12:59.585 align:center
Make it normal tea.

00:13:00.105 --> 00:13:01.025 align:center
- When did you make the <i>vada</i>?
- What brings you this way?

00:13:03.945 --> 00:13:05.345 align:center
Have you seen the man
in the photo?

00:13:06.225 --> 00:13:07.505 align:center
I don't recall seeing him.

00:13:08.145 --> 00:13:10.265 align:center
Check with the people seated here.

00:13:10.425 --> 00:13:12.864 align:center
(man 3) You're reading the newspaper
with black glasses.

00:13:12.865 --> 00:13:14.025 align:center
- Can you read the letters?
- (man 4) Yeah.

00:13:14.545 --> 00:13:17.105 align:center
Have you seen him anywhere before?

00:13:17.425 --> 00:13:18.465 align:center
No, sir.

00:13:19.545 --> 00:13:20.865 align:center
No, sir.

00:13:21.105 --> 00:13:22.025 align:center
I haven't.

00:13:24.865 --> 00:13:25.785 align:center
Chief!

00:13:26.785 --> 00:13:28.464 align:center
Have you seen this man anywhere?

00:13:28.465 --> 00:13:29.505 align:center
Why are you asking?

00:13:29.745 --> 00:13:31.545 align:center
(sharp suspicious music)

00:13:32.945 --> 00:13:33.945 align:center
I haven't seen him.

00:13:41.625 --> 00:13:42.705 align:center
No, I haven't.

00:13:43.545 --> 00:13:45.224 align:center
(Kaalai Pandiyan) Have you seen
this man anywhere?

00:13:45.225 --> 00:13:46.225 align:center
No, brother.

00:13:47.345 --> 00:13:48.345 align:center
Boss?

00:13:49.345 --> 00:13:50.345 align:center
I haven't, sir.

00:13:54.025 --> 00:13:55.385 align:center
- Is it ready?
- Here.

00:13:55.985 --> 00:13:56.944 align:center
- Here you go.
- For sir?

00:13:56.945 --> 00:13:57.904 align:center
- Here.
- It's a special one, right?

00:13:57.905 --> 00:13:58.865 align:center
Yes, sir.

00:14:00.345 --> 00:14:01.265 align:center
Sir.

00:14:01.785 --> 00:14:02.705 align:center
I just drank one.

00:14:04.385 --> 00:14:06.184 align:center
- Make another.
- Can't you see?

00:14:06.185 --> 00:14:07.105 align:center
For you.

00:14:12.545 --> 00:14:13.545 align:center
Do you want to have
a cup of tea?

00:14:15.065 --> 00:14:16.225 align:center
I just had one.

00:14:16.545 --> 00:14:17.505 align:center
It's fine.
Have one more.

00:14:17.665 --> 00:14:18.744 align:center
- Hey!
- (man coughs)

00:14:18.745 --> 00:14:19.945 align:center
One tea for sir.

00:14:20.825 --> 00:14:21.825 align:center
I already made it.

00:14:22.265 --> 00:14:23.425 align:center
Give it to him.

00:14:26.985 --> 00:14:27.905 align:center
Sir.

00:14:29.305 --> 00:14:30.345 align:center
Drink it.

00:14:30.905 --> 00:14:31.825 align:center
I will.

00:14:35.465 --> 00:14:37.705 align:center
Sir, I need a small favour.

00:14:39.385 --> 00:14:40.705 align:center
- Kaalai.
- Sir.

00:14:41.065 --> 00:14:42.625 align:center
(crisp paper rustling)

00:14:44.985 --> 00:14:46.505 align:center
We've been searching everywhere.

00:14:46.985 --> 00:14:48.225 align:center
We couldn't gather any information.

00:14:48.425 --> 00:14:50.665 align:center
I know you know this man.

00:14:52.545 --> 00:14:53.545 align:center
Please tell us.

00:14:54.945 --> 00:14:56.825 align:center
You can't find him
even if you search for a year.

00:14:57.385 --> 00:14:59.265 align:center
Why would we have to find him?

00:14:59.705 --> 00:15:01.025 align:center
Why else are you searching for him?

00:15:01.305 --> 00:15:03.665 align:center
Sir... he's dead.

00:15:05.105 --> 00:15:06.305 align:center
You're lying.

00:15:07.185 --> 00:15:09.385 align:center
Sir, he's really dead.

00:15:11.425 --> 00:15:12.904 align:center
Why are you looking for a dead man?

00:15:12.905 --> 00:15:16.185 align:center
(tsks) We found only his head.

00:15:16.425 --> 00:15:18.025 align:center
We're looking for his body,
but we haven't found it yet.

00:15:23.505 --> 00:15:24.785 align:center
I have seen him.

00:15:25.305 --> 00:15:26.465 align:center
Where did you see him?

00:15:26.665 --> 00:15:27.865 align:center
At a festival.

00:15:29.305 --> 00:15:30.305 align:center
His name is Muthu.

00:15:30.665 --> 00:15:31.825 align:center
When did you see him, sir?

00:15:32.825 --> 00:15:35.385 align:center
Three years ago in
Ponnumaarapatti Festival...

00:15:36.025 --> 00:15:39.145 align:center
(festive music)

00:15:40.185 --> 00:15:41.465 align:center
(motor humming)

00:15:42.665 --> 00:15:44.385 align:center
(pulsating music)

00:15:47.145 --> 00:15:48.825 align:center
(crowd cheering)

00:16:01.145 --> 00:16:02.705 align:center
(announcer through mic)
For Ponnumaarapatti

00:16:02.905 --> 00:16:05.345 align:center
Santhana Maariyamman
Temple Festival,

00:16:05.625 --> 00:16:09.224 align:center
Here comes Madurai's most famous

00:16:09.225 --> 00:16:12.505 align:center
Madurai Meena
of Kanmani Dance Group!

00:16:12.625 --> 00:16:14.065 align:center
- She's here for a dance performance!
- Hey, hey!

00:16:14.225 --> 00:16:16.705 align:center
- Don't come closer. Move, move!
- (announcer) <i>On behalf of our village,</i>

00:16:16.865 --> 00:16:18.865 align:center
We welcome her.
Hey! Move, make way for her!

00:16:19.145 --> 00:16:20.745 align:center
(crowd cheering)

00:16:23.625 --> 00:16:26.025 align:center
Move! Hey!

00:16:26.145 --> 00:16:27.425 align:center
Go back!

00:16:29.145 --> 00:16:31.224 align:center
(clamouring)

00:16:31.225 --> 00:16:32.985 align:center
Hey! Move!

00:16:33.105 --> 00:16:34.265 align:center
You saw it's a girl, right?

00:16:41.225 --> 00:16:43.065 align:center
Move aside!

00:16:43.945 --> 00:16:45.904 align:center
Go away! Move!

00:16:45.905 --> 00:16:47.705 align:center
Move! Go away!

00:16:48.145 --> 00:16:49.984 align:center
Go! Go!

00:16:49.985 --> 00:16:52.065 align:center
(Muthu) Go away!

00:16:52.585 --> 00:16:55.545 align:center
(announcer) We welcome you on behalf
of the organising committee.

00:16:56.585 --> 00:16:57.705 align:center
Dear God!

00:16:58.585 --> 00:17:00.025 align:center
They pinched us so badly!

00:17:00.385 --> 00:17:01.825 align:center
(woman) What is this?

00:17:01.985 --> 00:17:03.905 align:center
It looks like being squeezed
with a pair of pliers.

00:17:04.105 --> 00:17:05.184 align:center
- God!
- Sister!

00:17:05.185 --> 00:17:06.665 align:center
They hassled me too.

00:17:06.945 --> 00:17:08.225 align:center
Don't make a fuss.

00:17:08.865 --> 00:17:10.865 align:center
Guess my hips impressed them
more than yours.

00:17:11.385 --> 00:17:12.665 align:center
See how they pinched me!

00:17:13.425 --> 00:17:14.625 align:center
- Look here.
- (comical music)

00:17:15.385 --> 00:17:16.625 align:center
Everyone, look at this!

00:17:16.745 --> 00:17:19.305 align:center
They're in a real rage today!

00:17:20.585 --> 00:17:21.905 align:center
Hey, look at their legs!

00:17:22.185 --> 00:17:23.265 align:center
Why are you silent?

00:17:23.825 --> 00:17:25.265 align:center
Nobody hassled me!

00:17:26.545 --> 00:17:27.945 align:center
So, who's actually sadder here?

00:17:28.465 --> 00:17:30.025 align:center
The one who got hassled
or the one who didn't?

00:17:30.225 --> 00:17:31.265 align:center
I'm more sad.

00:17:32.745 --> 00:17:33.905 align:center
Console her.

00:17:34.425 --> 00:17:37.344 align:center
Forget it. They probably couldn't
reach you because you're too tall.

00:17:37.345 --> 00:17:38.265 align:center
Don't worry.

00:17:38.865 --> 00:17:40.338 align:center
Are you seven feet tall or what?

00:17:40.339 --> 00:17:41.139 align:center
(kisses)

00:17:42.625 --> 00:17:43.505 align:center
(closes window with a loud thud)

00:17:44.065 --> 00:17:45.944 align:center
If you show your face
with that jungle of a beard...

00:17:45.945 --> 00:17:47.385 align:center
It's because of you! Get lost.

00:17:47.625 --> 00:17:48.545 align:center
(muttering) Scoundrel!

00:17:49.825 --> 00:17:51.345 align:center
(birds chirping)

00:17:52.105 --> 00:17:53.905 align:center
Have you spoken to him?

00:17:54.345 --> 00:17:55.265 align:center
Sir.

00:17:55.665 --> 00:17:56.585 align:center
Thank you.

00:17:57.105 --> 00:17:59.145 align:center
Sir, don't misunderstand me
for saying this.

00:18:00.065 --> 00:18:01.985 align:center
My wife passed away 20 years ago.

00:18:02.825 --> 00:18:04.745 align:center
Whenever her thoughts come to me,

00:18:04.865 --> 00:18:06.465 align:center
I'd pay money to go to women.

00:18:07.305 --> 00:18:08.945 align:center
Sometimes at temple festivals

00:18:09.185 --> 00:18:10.625 align:center
I get a little naughty.

00:18:11.145 --> 00:18:13.065 align:center
(man announcing festival details)

00:18:20.705 --> 00:18:21.705 align:center
Hey, kid!

00:18:22.225 --> 00:18:23.465 align:center
I can't see a thing.

00:18:24.225 --> 00:18:25.825 align:center
What will you do
with this at school?

00:18:26.425 --> 00:18:28.385 align:center
You can see only at 90 degrees.

00:18:29.105 --> 00:18:30.824 align:center
- Huh?
- Are you going to give it or not?

00:18:30.825 --> 00:18:31.985 align:center
Or should I call my mother?

00:18:32.225 --> 00:18:33.224 align:center
(playful music)

00:18:33.225 --> 00:18:34.385 align:center
Here.

00:18:34.665 --> 00:18:35.865 align:center
(muttering) Take your stuff
and leave!

00:18:36.225 --> 00:18:37.145 align:center
Uncle.

00:18:37.705 --> 00:18:39.025 align:center
Did you at least see her hair bun?

00:18:39.265 --> 00:18:40.785 align:center
No, bro.

00:18:42.665 --> 00:18:43.585 align:center
I'll kill you!

00:18:43.705 --> 00:18:44.665 align:center
It's all right, come.

00:18:44.785 --> 00:18:45.785 align:center
Let's go there and take a look.

00:18:48.625 --> 00:18:50.305 align:center
(vibrant festival music playing)

00:18:53.305 --> 00:18:54.264 align:center
Bro.

00:18:54.265 --> 00:18:56.065 align:center
It's been a long time since
I had a proper oil service.

00:18:56.225 --> 00:18:57.705 align:center
Somehow, I need to do it today.

00:18:57.865 --> 00:18:58.865 align:center
Uncle.

00:18:59.105 --> 00:19:00.585 align:center
We'll make it happen!

00:19:09.665 --> 00:19:10.585 align:center
Hey.

00:19:14.545 --> 00:19:16.265 align:center
Girls are changing inside.

00:19:16.825 --> 00:19:18.944 align:center
We know. That's why
we're going to take a look.

00:19:18.945 --> 00:19:19.905 align:center
Huh?

00:19:22.545 --> 00:19:25.185 align:center
Last time, a guy brought five girls.

00:19:25.305 --> 00:19:27.264 align:center
They were all gorgeous!

00:19:27.265 --> 00:19:29.304 align:center
After the dance,

00:19:29.305 --> 00:19:30.625 align:center
we found out one was a man.

00:19:31.505 --> 00:19:34.065 align:center
When we felt him up in the crowd,
thinking it was a woman,

00:19:34.225 --> 00:19:35.665 align:center
that's when we knew! Damn!

00:19:36.025 --> 00:19:37.585 align:center
Uncle grabbed the wrong thing.

00:19:38.985 --> 00:19:40.505 align:center
We're not backing down
this time.

00:19:40.825 --> 00:19:41.825 align:center
We'll take a look!

00:19:42.225 --> 00:19:43.425 align:center
We'll check them out once.

00:19:45.265 --> 00:19:46.745 align:center
Everyone would be
fully dressed by now.

00:19:47.465 --> 00:19:48.665 align:center
Huh?

00:19:50.745 --> 00:19:51.984 align:center
They'll change during the next song.

00:19:51.985 --> 00:19:53.025 align:center
I'll let you know.
Will you come then?

00:19:54.345 --> 00:19:55.265 align:center
That's also right.

00:19:55.945 --> 00:19:59.465 align:center
When the song ends, send one of
the four girls to the back.

00:20:01.825 --> 00:20:02.785 align:center
Oh, no!

00:20:02.905 --> 00:20:03.825 align:center
Right now?

00:20:04.425 --> 00:20:05.865 align:center
How will they dance
until morning?

00:20:06.585 --> 00:20:09.585 align:center
- You look like a real powerhouse!
- (laughs)

00:20:11.265 --> 00:20:14.024 align:center
We'll never be rough
with the girls.

00:20:14.025 --> 00:20:14.945 align:center
(laughs)

00:20:15.265 --> 00:20:16.185 align:center
Don't be scared.

00:20:16.665 --> 00:20:17.865 align:center
What's your name?

00:20:18.825 --> 00:20:19.745 align:center
Muthu.

00:20:20.785 --> 00:20:21.785 align:center
Muthu!

00:20:22.185 --> 00:20:23.425 align:center
Muthu, our dearest one!

00:20:23.785 --> 00:20:24.705 align:center
(giggles)

00:20:24.865 --> 00:20:25.785 align:center
Okay.

00:20:26.225 --> 00:20:29.865 align:center
Bro, seems Muthu will keep his word.

00:20:30.345 --> 00:20:32.705 align:center
(makes high-pitched sound, laughs)

00:20:33.105 --> 00:20:36.345 align:center
(upbeat folk song
"Mannarkudi Kalakalakka" playing)

00:20:46.625 --> 00:20:48.304 align:center
(shouting) Hey, which village
are you from?

00:20:48.305 --> 00:20:49.424 align:center
Thalavaipuram!

00:20:49.425 --> 00:20:51.784 align:center
Did you let us dance at
your temple festival last year?

00:20:51.785 --> 00:20:53.945 align:center
The temple is public property.
Anyone can dance!

00:20:54.505 --> 00:20:55.745 align:center
Who are they?

00:20:55.985 --> 00:20:57.105 align:center
Why are they yelling like that?

00:20:57.345 --> 00:20:59.505 align:center
Uncle, they're outsiders.

00:20:59.705 --> 00:21:02.825 align:center
They made a scene to dance
in front of our stage!

00:21:02.985 --> 00:21:04.865 align:center
That's why they're getting thrashed!

00:21:04.985 --> 00:21:05.984 align:center
Okay, okay.

00:21:05.985 --> 00:21:08.465 align:center
Go, go!

00:21:15.945 --> 00:21:16.904 align:center
(heavy stone impact)

00:21:16.905 --> 00:21:18.665 align:center
(music slows down)

00:21:18.945 --> 00:21:20.905 align:center
- Hey, what happened?
- (man groaning)

00:21:21.665 --> 00:21:23.185 align:center
- Get up.
- It's them.

00:21:23.305 --> 00:21:24.344 align:center
(sickening, wet crunch)

00:21:24.345 --> 00:21:25.825 align:center
(groans in pain)

00:21:26.785 --> 00:21:28.304 align:center
They're over there!

00:21:28.305 --> 00:21:30.265 align:center
- Come!
- (men shouting)

00:21:31.225 --> 00:21:32.905 align:center
(men charging in anger)

00:21:33.825 --> 00:21:35.025 align:center
(heavy thumping)

00:21:35.825 --> 00:21:37.025 align:center
(men shouting)

00:21:41.345 --> 00:21:42.345 align:center
(intense thumping)

00:21:48.665 --> 00:21:50.225 align:center
(crowd screaming in fear)

00:21:50.545 --> 00:21:52.505 align:center
(Meesai Perusu) <i>We went to
the festival with so many plans.</i>

00:21:52.665 --> 00:21:57.265 align:center
<i>But it became a big commotion,
and everyone scattered in confusion.</i>

00:21:58.305 --> 00:21:59.785 align:center
That was the last time
I saw Muthu.

00:22:00.265 --> 00:22:03.065 align:center
(scoffs) I didn't see him
after that.

00:22:04.265 --> 00:22:05.185 align:center
Okay.

00:22:07.345 --> 00:22:09.464 align:center
All right.
We'll leave.

00:22:09.465 --> 00:22:11.025 align:center
- Okay.
- Kaalai, come.

00:22:15.345 --> 00:22:17.145 align:center
- Sir, let's get to the point.
- Huh?

00:22:17.425 --> 00:22:18.984 align:center
Did your desires come true
that night?

00:22:18.985 --> 00:22:20.945 align:center
It was total commotion.

00:22:21.265 --> 00:22:23.185 align:center
The dance group took off right away.

00:22:23.505 --> 00:22:25.825 align:center
We blew up the balloons we bought
and went home.

00:22:25.985 --> 00:22:27.224 align:center
Nothing happened.

00:22:27.225 --> 00:22:28.185 align:center
(laughing)

00:22:29.265 --> 00:22:31.945 align:center
Sir, where did the dance group
come from?

00:22:33.865 --> 00:22:36.505 align:center
Kanmani... Dance Group.

00:22:37.025 --> 00:22:39.225 align:center
Will they ask you
everything separately?

00:22:39.505 --> 00:22:40.904 align:center
Tell them where they came from.

00:22:40.905 --> 00:22:42.145 align:center
Hey, they came from Teppakulam.

00:22:42.385 --> 00:22:43.664 align:center
Madurai.

00:22:43.665 --> 00:22:45.825 align:center
Teppakulam, Madurai. Hmm.

00:22:46.625 --> 00:22:47.665 align:center
(Sidharthan) Sir!

00:22:47.945 --> 00:22:50.145 align:center
Your friend was with you
at the festival, right?

00:22:50.425 --> 00:22:51.585 align:center
What is he doing now?

00:22:51.825 --> 00:22:53.384 align:center
That man passed away.

00:22:53.385 --> 00:22:54.305 align:center
What?

00:22:54.585 --> 00:22:56.864 align:center
Not you.
That man died.

00:22:56.865 --> 00:22:58.065 align:center
He's dead.

00:22:58.865 --> 00:22:59.785 align:center
I'm sorry.

00:23:13.865 --> 00:23:16.584 align:center
(Lalitha) Since the station
isn't closing for now,

00:23:16.585 --> 00:23:19.144 align:center
if you stop being lazy
and investigate properly,

00:23:19.145 --> 00:23:20.705 align:center
you'll get promoted to SI, right?

00:23:20.985 --> 00:23:22.464 align:center
(woman) Bring me some water.

00:23:22.465 --> 00:23:23.785 align:center
- You want me to become SI?
- Yes.

00:23:24.425 --> 00:23:25.664 align:center
- Just come!
- Listen to me.

00:23:25.665 --> 00:23:27.104 align:center
(muttering) Carrying the photo
in the purse is not enough.

00:23:27.105 --> 00:23:30.105 align:center
- Is it for safekeeping?
- (muttering) SI, it seems!

00:23:30.225 --> 00:23:31.385 align:center
Here.

00:23:31.505 --> 00:23:34.025 align:center
- Did you eat? Was it good?
- It was amazing.

00:23:37.145 --> 00:23:41.945 align:center
- Here.
- Sir, do you know who he is?

00:23:44.585 --> 00:23:46.025 align:center
Do I know him?

00:23:46.545 --> 00:23:48.145 align:center
He's my master!

00:23:48.745 --> 00:23:50.945 align:center
- Your boss?
- Yes.

00:23:51.185 --> 00:23:53.465 align:center
He's the reason
I'm doing well today.

00:23:54.505 --> 00:23:55.985 align:center
How did you know him?

00:23:56.545 --> 00:23:57.985 align:center
I don't know him.

00:23:58.665 --> 00:24:01.585 align:center
I was a worker at a food stall
four years ago.

00:24:01.705 --> 00:24:02.945 align:center
He came there back then.

00:24:16.705 --> 00:24:18.345 align:center
(crickets chirping)

00:24:56.065 --> 00:24:57.105 align:center
Brother!

00:24:57.385 --> 00:25:00.264 align:center
Two <i>parottas</i>
and two half-boiled eggs.

00:25:00.265 --> 00:25:02.825 align:center
Hey! A customer is here.
Place a banana leaf for him.

00:25:07.425 --> 00:25:08.745 align:center
(Muthu humming)

00:25:11.825 --> 00:25:13.265 align:center
Sprinkle some damn water!

00:25:35.185 --> 00:25:36.265 align:center
Go ahead.

00:25:40.105 --> 00:25:41.305 align:center
Hmm.

00:26:02.185 --> 00:26:04.145 align:center
Hey, check if the <i>idlis</i> are ready.

00:26:07.345 --> 00:26:08.545 align:center
(rustling thwack)

00:26:08.945 --> 00:26:10.265 align:center
Do I have to call you again?

00:26:11.785 --> 00:26:13.025 align:center
He can't hear a thing!

00:26:14.785 --> 00:26:15.984 align:center
You gobble up all the leftovers!

00:26:15.985 --> 00:26:17.585 align:center
You also pack the food
for your home.

00:26:17.705 --> 00:26:19.025 align:center
I'm also paying your salary!

00:26:19.145 --> 00:26:20.745 align:center
Get lost!
Check if <i>idlis</i> are ready.

00:26:23.025 --> 00:26:25.025 align:center
Despite your age,
why are you so troublesome? Go!

00:26:29.825 --> 00:26:31.345 align:center
(metallic clatter of a vessel)

00:26:33.585 --> 00:26:35.865 align:center
Brother, give me some curry.

00:26:44.025 --> 00:26:45.465 align:center
(tender, emotive music builds)

00:26:53.065 --> 00:26:55.265 align:center
Hey, old fool! I told you to pack
two <i>parottas</i>. Did you do that?

00:26:55.665 --> 00:26:57.305 align:center
Lazy!

00:27:06.785 --> 00:27:07.745 align:center
How much is the bill?

00:27:08.225 --> 00:27:09.224 align:center
₹40.

00:27:09.225 --> 00:27:10.145 align:center
(clears throat)

00:27:13.745 --> 00:27:15.185 align:center
You've picked a great spot
for your shop, brother.

00:27:15.305 --> 00:27:18.145 align:center
How's this? I set it up amazingly,
didn't I?

00:27:20.305 --> 00:27:21.665 align:center
How much did it cost you
to set this up?

00:27:22.265 --> 00:27:25.345 align:center
Well... it cost up to ₹1.5 lakh.

00:27:26.585 --> 00:27:27.825 align:center
How much business
do you do in a day?

00:27:28.465 --> 00:27:30.785 align:center
- Around--
- Would it be around ₹3,500?

00:27:31.185 --> 00:27:34.904 align:center
After electricity, firewood and
paying this old coot's wages,

00:27:34.905 --> 00:27:36.625 align:center
I'll make around ₹1,000-₹1,500.

00:27:36.825 --> 00:27:38.304 align:center
Why do you ask all of this?

00:27:38.305 --> 00:27:39.745 align:center
Are you planning to open
a shop opposite mine?

00:27:40.825 --> 00:27:42.185 align:center
Keep it down and talk to me.

00:27:43.025 --> 00:27:44.225 align:center
Wait, I'll come.

00:27:48.585 --> 00:27:50.865 align:center
(rhythmic music accelerates)

00:27:52.905 --> 00:27:54.385 align:center
(clinking of keys)

00:28:13.065 --> 00:28:15.785 align:center
(intense music peaks)

00:28:38.785 --> 00:28:40.065 align:center
This is for your setup cost.

00:28:40.545 --> 00:28:42.425 align:center
You took care of this place,
so this is for that.

00:28:42.665 --> 00:28:44.705 align:center
This money will cover
what you'd earn in three years.

00:28:46.505 --> 00:28:48.865 align:center
Take this, hand over this place
to me and leave.

00:28:54.745 --> 00:28:55.784 align:center
Dude!

00:28:55.785 --> 00:28:57.305 align:center
Who are you, dude?

00:28:57.985 --> 00:28:59.625 align:center
Are these real notes
or fake ones?

00:29:02.945 --> 00:29:04.145 align:center
These are real ones.

00:29:05.185 --> 00:29:06.385 align:center
If you want, take it.

00:29:08.945 --> 00:29:10.505 align:center
Can we talk tomorrow morning?

00:29:10.825 --> 00:29:12.504 align:center
Take it now if you want.
Otherwise, I'll leave.

00:29:12.505 --> 00:29:13.504 align:center
Hey!

00:29:13.505 --> 00:29:14.465 align:center
Keep it, dude.

00:29:16.385 --> 00:29:18.024 align:center
It takes ten minutes
to even make <i>parotta</i>.

00:29:18.025 --> 00:29:19.665 align:center
Can't you give me
ten minutes to think?

00:29:20.105 --> 00:29:21.345 align:center
Do you want it or not?

00:29:21.825 --> 00:29:23.585 align:center
Leave then.
Get up.

00:29:23.825 --> 00:29:24.945 align:center
Get up, get up.

00:29:27.905 --> 00:29:28.945 align:center
Come.

00:29:29.745 --> 00:29:30.825 align:center
Come!

00:29:33.905 --> 00:29:34.825 align:center
Come on.

00:29:36.865 --> 00:29:38.745 align:center
Give it.
Keep it over there.

00:29:39.185 --> 00:29:40.265 align:center
Come on.

00:29:41.705 --> 00:29:42.825 align:center
Sit down.

00:29:43.425 --> 00:29:45.145 align:center
Sit down. This is your place
from now on.

00:29:47.825 --> 00:29:49.465 align:center
If this guy comes again,
you shouldn't let him inside.

00:29:49.945 --> 00:29:51.305 align:center
Okay?
Don't fold your hands.

00:29:54.345 --> 00:29:55.305 align:center
Leave.

00:29:55.665 --> 00:29:56.585 align:center
Leave.

00:29:56.945 --> 00:29:57.865 align:center
Wait.

00:29:58.585 --> 00:30:01.104 align:center
You're not to open any shop
opposite this place,

00:30:01.105 --> 00:30:02.825 align:center
or anywhere nearby,
with this money.

00:30:09.705 --> 00:30:11.105 align:center
(in a hushed voice) I've committed
seven murders.

00:30:11.345 --> 00:30:13.585 align:center
(chorus music arises)

00:30:18.505 --> 00:30:19.465 align:center
Go.

00:30:19.905 --> 00:30:20.905 align:center
Go.

00:30:26.625 --> 00:30:27.585 align:center
Shall I leave, brother?

00:30:28.105 --> 00:30:30.385 align:center
(stirring, soulful score arises)

00:30:49.545 --> 00:30:50.985 align:center
(emotional score swells)

00:31:06.305 --> 00:31:07.225 align:center
(Kaalai Pandiyan) Hop on.

00:31:08.385 --> 00:31:09.345 align:center
Hop on, dear.

00:31:11.025 --> 00:31:12.065 align:center
(grunts) God!

00:31:14.705 --> 00:31:17.385 align:center
Sir, I won't be able
to see my Lord anymore.

00:31:17.505 --> 00:31:18.705 align:center
At least give me that picture.

00:31:19.265 --> 00:31:20.465 align:center
Give him, dear.

00:31:22.825 --> 00:31:23.945 align:center
Here.

00:31:24.425 --> 00:31:25.825 align:center
Thanks a lot.

00:31:40.305 --> 00:31:41.505 align:center
Hmm.

00:31:42.105 --> 00:31:43.785 align:center
Didn't that restaurant guy
mention any number?

00:31:44.145 --> 00:31:46.305 align:center
- He doesn't remember any number.
- Hmm.

00:31:46.545 --> 00:31:49.065 align:center
But he said it was a Kerala
registered pickup vehicle.

00:31:50.465 --> 00:31:54.225 align:center
So, there's a strong connection
between this case and Kerala. Huh?

00:31:54.385 --> 00:31:55.785 align:center
- Correct?
- Could be, sir.

00:31:58.345 --> 00:32:01.385 align:center
Okay, come. Let's focus on
that Kanmani Dance Group first.

00:32:01.825 --> 00:32:02.745 align:center
Okay, sir.

00:32:02.985 --> 00:32:04.584 align:center
- Thangamudi.
- Sir.

00:32:04.585 --> 00:32:06.064 align:center
- I'm going to Madurai.
- Okay, sir.

00:32:06.065 --> 00:32:07.785 align:center
- Take care of the station.
- Yeah.

00:32:37.305 --> 00:32:38.944 align:center
Let's ask around
at the tea shop first, sir.

00:32:38.945 --> 00:32:40.265 align:center
- Hmm.
- It's over here.

00:32:41.345 --> 00:32:42.705 align:center
(ambient traffic noise)

00:32:49.105 --> 00:32:50.425 align:center
- Are you from around here?
- Yes, sir.

00:32:50.985 --> 00:32:54.385 align:center
Do you know a dancer called
Madurai Meena?

00:32:54.505 --> 00:32:55.745 align:center
Meena?

00:32:56.265 --> 00:32:58.784 align:center
- It's called Kanmani Dance Group.
- Yes, sir!

00:32:58.785 --> 00:33:00.024 align:center
- Here...
- Where is it?

00:33:00.025 --> 00:33:02.265 align:center
There is a blue building
after three houses.

00:33:02.505 --> 00:33:03.864 align:center
- A blue building?
- Yes.

00:33:03.865 --> 00:33:06.344 align:center
Yes, a blue one. You can ask
downstairs. You can find it there.

00:33:06.345 --> 00:33:07.265 align:center
- Try asking them.
- Okay.

00:33:07.385 --> 00:33:08.624 align:center
- He says it's nearby, sir.
- Hmm.

00:33:08.625 --> 00:33:10.025 align:center
- Okay, brother.
- All right.

00:33:10.945 --> 00:33:12.905 align:center
(woman) Malliga, come here.

00:33:14.145 --> 00:33:15.185 align:center
Hello.

00:33:15.425 --> 00:33:18.224 align:center
- Any Kanmani Dance Group nearby?
- Yes, I'm the manager.

00:33:18.225 --> 00:33:20.825 align:center
But it's been so long since
we stopped Kanmani Dance Group.

00:33:21.265 --> 00:33:22.185 align:center
Oh!

00:33:22.425 --> 00:33:23.865 align:center
Is this the dance troupe?

00:33:23.985 --> 00:33:25.384 align:center
My house is downstairs, sir.

00:33:25.385 --> 00:33:26.825 align:center
The dance troupe is upstairs.

00:33:28.305 --> 00:33:29.584 align:center
Can I take a look?

00:33:29.585 --> 00:33:30.905 align:center
(hesitantly) Yes, you can, sir.

00:33:32.585 --> 00:33:34.584 align:center
Why did you shut down
your dance troupe?

00:33:34.585 --> 00:33:35.544 align:center
As long as Meena was there,

00:33:35.545 --> 00:33:37.544 align:center
it was going well, sir.
- Hmm.

00:33:37.545 --> 00:33:40.864 align:center
But after Meena quit,
it became hard to run the troupe.

00:33:40.865 --> 00:33:42.025 align:center
Do you know this man?

00:33:42.385 --> 00:33:43.865 align:center
This is our Muthu.

00:33:44.745 --> 00:33:46.585 align:center
(traditional folk music builds)

00:33:47.225 --> 00:33:49.024 align:center
Hey, move on!

00:33:49.025 --> 00:33:50.225 align:center
Move!
Who's that?

00:33:50.345 --> 00:33:51.705 align:center
- They hit me!
- Who?

00:33:51.825 --> 00:33:52.745 align:center
Huh?

00:33:53.105 --> 00:33:54.304 align:center
- Hey!
- What?

00:33:54.305 --> 00:33:56.984 align:center
You're an outsider! How dare you
hit someone from our village?

00:33:56.985 --> 00:33:59.185 align:center
- Whom did I hit?
- You hit my nephew, right?

00:33:59.345 --> 00:34:01.425 align:center
- Hey, did I hit you?
- Yes, you did.

00:34:01.665 --> 00:34:02.745 align:center
- When did I hit you?
- (crowd cheering in the background)

00:34:03.105 --> 00:34:05.464 align:center
I'm like her uncle.

00:34:05.465 --> 00:34:07.024 align:center
He called me a pimp!

00:34:07.025 --> 00:34:09.344 align:center
He could've said anything.
But we elders are here, right?

00:34:09.345 --> 00:34:10.904 align:center
How can you hit a kid?

00:34:10.905 --> 00:34:13.665 align:center
How can you call him a kid?
He called me a pimp!

00:34:13.865 --> 00:34:16.224 align:center
Hey, you brought girls
just to put them on display.

00:34:16.225 --> 00:34:19.064 align:center
I didn't bring them here to be
peeped at while they're changing.

00:34:19.065 --> 00:34:21.105 align:center
I brought them here to dance.
Do you get it?

00:34:21.265 --> 00:34:22.625 align:center
- Do you get it?
- Hey.

00:34:22.785 --> 00:34:24.424 align:center
He's talking too much.
Let's get the girl first.

00:34:24.425 --> 00:34:26.984 align:center
- Move!
- (shouts) Hey! Wait! What is this?

00:34:26.985 --> 00:34:28.225 align:center
- What?
- I'll call the police, brother.

00:34:28.425 --> 00:34:30.504 align:center
You'll call the police?
Go ahead if you dare!

00:34:30.505 --> 00:34:31.744 align:center
What's this?

00:34:31.745 --> 00:34:34.904 align:center
Why are you talking so much
like he's a big deal? Get rid of him.

00:34:34.905 --> 00:34:36.824 align:center
I'll slash you open and
hand you your intestines.

00:34:36.825 --> 00:34:38.184 align:center
- You can give it to the police.
- Hey!

00:34:38.185 --> 00:34:40.504 align:center
Bro, stab him!
Stab him!

00:34:40.505 --> 00:34:41.504 align:center
Stab him
and pull his intestines out.

00:34:41.505 --> 00:34:43.665 align:center
Stab me!
Go on, stab me!

00:34:44.825 --> 00:34:47.184 align:center
- How dare you do this?
- Who...

00:34:47.185 --> 00:34:48.424 align:center
Who are you?

00:34:48.425 --> 00:34:50.665 align:center
What's your problem
if we take a look at the dancer girl?

00:34:51.105 --> 00:34:53.064 align:center
If I come to your house,
knock on the door,

00:34:53.065 --> 00:34:55.145 align:center
and say I want to watch
your women change,

00:34:55.345 --> 00:34:56.385 align:center
will you be silent?

00:34:57.425 --> 00:34:58.985 align:center
Is she from your family?

00:34:59.265 --> 00:35:00.545 align:center
Is she from your family?

00:35:00.825 --> 00:35:01.985 align:center
Yes, she's my family!

00:35:02.505 --> 00:35:03.825 align:center
She's my family!

00:35:04.305 --> 00:35:05.945 align:center
Stab me and take that girl!

00:35:06.185 --> 00:35:07.425 align:center
Stab me!

00:35:09.305 --> 00:35:10.625 align:center
Hey, stab me!

00:35:17.825 --> 00:35:19.225 align:center
If you grab the knife, use it.

00:35:21.385 --> 00:35:22.545 align:center
Or else it will eat you alive.

00:35:23.385 --> 00:35:24.465 align:center
Get it?

00:35:24.905 --> 00:35:26.345 align:center
(triumphant vocals)

00:35:30.345 --> 00:35:32.225 align:center
That was when we saw Muthu
for the first time.

00:35:32.985 --> 00:35:35.785 align:center
We hired him
for the girls' protection, sir.

00:35:35.945 --> 00:35:36.944 align:center
Oh!

00:35:36.945 --> 00:35:38.504 align:center
How long did Muthu stay here?

00:35:38.505 --> 00:35:40.065 align:center
- He stayed here for a year, sir.
- Hmm.

00:35:40.345 --> 00:35:42.304 align:center
But he left three years ago.

00:35:42.305 --> 00:35:44.224 align:center
I don't know what happened,
but after he left,

00:35:44.225 --> 00:35:46.185 align:center
Meena quit dancing.
- Oh.

00:35:48.185 --> 00:35:49.345 align:center
- It's here, sir.
- Hmm.

00:35:57.985 --> 00:36:00.504 align:center
Do you know where
Muthu is from?

00:36:00.505 --> 00:36:03.224 align:center
I think he said somewhere
near Oddanchatram.

00:36:03.225 --> 00:36:05.145 align:center
- I don't remember it clearly, sir.
- Oh.

00:36:16.505 --> 00:36:18.345 align:center
(puzzling music)

00:36:57.225 --> 00:36:59.225 align:center
- May I look inside this box?
- Sure, sir.

00:37:20.225 --> 00:37:21.905 align:center
- Who's this?
- (man) Sittu, sir.

00:37:31.225 --> 00:37:32.985 align:center
- This?
- (man) It's Meena and Sittu.

00:37:33.625 --> 00:37:35.785 align:center
- Where is Meena?
- I don't know, sir.

00:37:39.665 --> 00:37:41.945 align:center
- What about Sittu?
- (man) She runs a tailoring shop.

00:37:42.425 --> 00:37:44.105 align:center
- Where?
- (man) In her hometown.

00:37:45.145 --> 00:37:47.385 align:center
- Do you have her number?
- (man) I do. I'll give you.

00:37:58.065 --> 00:37:59.345 align:center
(Sidharthan) It looks like Kerala.

00:38:00.265 --> 00:38:01.945 align:center
2005.

00:38:04.585 --> 00:38:07.424 align:center
- Can I take this picture?
- (man) Sure, sir.

00:38:07.425 --> 00:38:08.665 align:center
Hmm. Thank you.

00:38:10.905 --> 00:38:12.305 align:center
Shall I order you a coffee, sir?

00:38:16.425 --> 00:38:17.425 align:center
Two coffees.

00:38:18.065 --> 00:38:18.985 align:center
Give it quickly.

00:38:21.705 --> 00:38:23.705 align:center
The <i>dal vada</i> is really
good here. Shall I get you two?

00:38:23.825 --> 00:38:24.744 align:center
Uh-uh.

00:38:24.745 --> 00:38:25.705 align:center
(distant chatter)

00:38:27.105 --> 00:38:28.905 align:center
What do you see
in this picture, sir?

00:38:29.345 --> 00:38:30.505 align:center
You're staring at it so intensely.

00:38:32.025 --> 00:38:34.425 align:center
- Do you know elephants?
- Yes.

00:38:34.665 --> 00:38:39.105 align:center
All elephants look similar
when we look at them.

00:38:40.225 --> 00:38:42.945 align:center
But each elephant has
a unique feature.

00:38:44.545 --> 00:38:46.785 align:center
There are some experts
who can identify that.

00:38:49.865 --> 00:38:52.105 align:center
- Here, sir.
- Looking at this photo,

00:38:52.865 --> 00:38:55.985 align:center
Muthu was in Kerala in 2005.

00:38:57.505 --> 00:38:59.865 align:center
If we know where this elephant
is now,

00:39:00.825 --> 00:39:02.345 align:center
it'll be really helpful for us.

00:39:02.625 --> 00:39:03.585 align:center
Hmm...

00:39:04.065 --> 00:39:06.865 align:center
(mutters) Veterinary doctor
Venugopal.

00:39:15.465 --> 00:39:16.865 align:center
- Hello, sir.
- <i>Hello.</i>

00:39:17.185 --> 00:39:18.944 align:center
- (in Malayalam)<i>Who?</i>
- I'm Sidharthan.

00:39:18.945 --> 00:39:20.705 align:center
Sub-Inspector from
Tamil Nadu Police.

00:39:20.945 --> 00:39:23.225 align:center
(continues in Malayalam) <i>Sidharthan?
I don't understand.</i>

00:39:23.345 --> 00:39:24.744 align:center
Sir, I'm from
the Special Task Force.

00:39:24.745 --> 00:39:27.305 align:center
I spoke to you regarding
a murder case ten years ago.

00:39:27.425 --> 00:39:29.144 align:center
<i>Oh, Sidharthan?
How are you?</i>

00:39:29.145 --> 00:39:30.785 align:center
- <i>Tell me</i>.
- I'm good, sir.

00:39:30.905 --> 00:39:33.504 align:center
I'll send you a picture of
an elephant.

00:39:33.505 --> 00:39:34.744 align:center
If I could get any information
about it,

00:39:34.745 --> 00:39:36.544 align:center
- it would be really helpful, sir.
- <i>Okay.</i>

00:39:36.545 --> 00:39:40.105 align:center
You said your friend was an expert
at identifying elephants, right?

00:39:40.345 --> 00:39:41.664 align:center
Can you talk to him?

00:39:41.665 --> 00:39:44.184 align:center
<i>Why not? Send it to me.
I'll talk to him and call you back.</i>

00:39:44.185 --> 00:39:45.985 align:center
Sure, sir.
Thank you.

00:39:50.545 --> 00:39:52.305 align:center
- (crickets chirping)
- (peacock screaming)

00:39:54.265 --> 00:39:57.304 align:center
Can't you both come sooner?
Why did you take so long?

00:39:57.305 --> 00:39:59.105 align:center
(tsks) We left long ago.

00:39:59.585 --> 00:40:01.864 align:center
While we were on our way, our boss
spotted the Rettai Roja Bar.

00:40:01.865 --> 00:40:03.024 align:center
- Oh!
- What do you want me to do?

00:40:03.025 --> 00:40:04.985 align:center
I knew it.
That man would do that.

00:40:05.105 --> 00:40:09.865 align:center
Meesai speaks very highly
of that dead man.

00:40:10.305 --> 00:40:15.545 align:center
We've now found that he was
a bouncer for the dance troupe.

00:40:15.705 --> 00:40:17.785 align:center
But you said it was shut down.

00:40:17.905 --> 00:40:20.064 align:center
He also paid ₹10 lakh
for a shop worth nothing.

00:40:20.065 --> 00:40:22.705 align:center
- You forgot that.
- What all he has done!

00:40:23.385 --> 00:40:26.385 align:center
Okay, how do we close this case
with this head?

00:40:27.025 --> 00:40:28.544 align:center
When will we shut down
this police station

00:40:28.545 --> 00:40:30.105 align:center
and move to town?
- (grunts)

00:40:30.225 --> 00:40:31.504 align:center
- I'm so confused.
- Keep talking about

00:40:31.505 --> 00:40:34.864 align:center
shutting down this place! Fucker!
- You want to herd your goats, right?

00:40:34.865 --> 00:40:35.785 align:center
(mobile phone rings)

00:40:35.945 --> 00:40:37.664 align:center
Pick up!
Pick up the call.

00:40:37.665 --> 00:40:38.545 align:center
(mobile phone rings)

00:40:38.865 --> 00:40:41.145 align:center
Tell them he didn't show up
for four days.

00:40:41.825 --> 00:40:42.825 align:center
Who's this?

00:40:44.265 --> 00:40:45.545 align:center
(mobile phone rings)

00:40:46.065 --> 00:40:47.745 align:center
- Hey, uncle!
- What is it?

00:40:48.585 --> 00:40:49.544 align:center
Huh?

00:40:49.545 --> 00:40:50.785 align:center
(mobile phone rings)

00:40:59.305 --> 00:41:00.225 align:center
Huh?

00:41:07.225 --> 00:41:09.545 align:center
(Thangamudi) Sir? Sir!

00:41:11.465 --> 00:41:12.785 align:center
- Have a seat.
- (Thangamudi) Go inside.

00:41:13.185 --> 00:41:14.184 align:center
Go inside.

00:41:14.185 --> 00:41:15.465 align:center
(grunts)

00:41:16.665 --> 00:41:17.825 align:center
Don't step on him.

00:41:21.705 --> 00:41:24.704 align:center
How did he die smiling
like this? Huh?

00:41:24.705 --> 00:41:27.864 align:center
Sir...
when he was laughing,

00:41:27.865 --> 00:41:29.624 align:center
someone must've
slit his throat.

00:41:29.625 --> 00:41:30.505 align:center
Mm-hmm!

00:41:32.385 --> 00:41:33.705 align:center
How do you know this?

00:41:33.985 --> 00:41:36.264 align:center
- I just had a thought--
- Have you died before?

00:41:36.265 --> 00:41:37.185 align:center
Uh-uh.

00:41:37.905 --> 00:41:39.465 align:center
- What about you?
- Sir!

00:41:39.745 --> 00:41:41.264 align:center
- (whispering) What's this?
- Hey!

00:41:41.265 --> 00:41:44.905 align:center
The booze has gone straight
to his brain and making it dance.

00:41:45.385 --> 00:41:47.265 align:center
I've died once.

00:41:48.585 --> 00:41:49.545 align:center
- Look at him now.
- Huh?

00:41:49.745 --> 00:41:51.624 align:center
His brain will melt
and come out of his nose.

00:41:51.625 --> 00:41:52.745 align:center
- Mm-hmm!
- Hmm!

00:41:53.105 --> 00:41:55.545 align:center
A man can die many times
in his life.

00:41:55.665 --> 00:41:56.705 align:center
(mobile phone rings)

00:41:57.345 --> 00:41:58.825 align:center
- It's the phone.
- Give it.

00:41:58.985 --> 00:42:00.025 align:center
- Give it to him.
- Sir.

00:42:00.465 --> 00:42:01.585 align:center
(mobile phone rings)

00:42:03.865 --> 00:42:04.785 align:center
Hello.

00:42:06.345 --> 00:42:07.305 align:center
Oh!

00:42:07.625 --> 00:42:08.705 align:center
Thank you.

00:42:09.065 --> 00:42:10.384 align:center
- Thank you so much.
- What's happening?

00:42:10.385 --> 00:42:11.585 align:center
Thank you.

00:42:14.505 --> 00:42:16.025 align:center
- Good news!
- Huh?

00:42:16.185 --> 00:42:17.065 align:center
What is it, sir?

00:42:17.265 --> 00:42:19.184 align:center
We've located the elephant.

00:42:19.185 --> 00:42:20.185 align:center
(Thangamudi) Where is it?

00:42:21.105 --> 00:42:23.064 align:center
- Kaalai Pandiyan!
- Sir.

00:42:23.065 --> 00:42:25.385 align:center
On your toes!
We both are going to Kerala.

00:42:25.545 --> 00:42:26.705 align:center
Okay?

00:42:26.865 --> 00:42:28.225 align:center
No, sir...

00:42:29.025 --> 00:42:31.264 align:center
It is the vaccination...

00:42:31.265 --> 00:42:34.105 align:center
Hey! Why do you need to
get vaccinated to go to Kerala?

00:42:34.345 --> 00:42:35.585 align:center
- Be quiet.
- Is any new disease spreading?

00:42:35.785 --> 00:42:36.984 align:center
Why are you talking like an idiot?

00:42:36.985 --> 00:42:39.625 align:center
It's time to vaccinate
the goats, sir.

00:42:39.745 --> 00:42:42.705 align:center
How can I go
out of the station now?

00:42:42.825 --> 00:42:45.425 align:center
- I don't know how it'll work out.
- You and your goats!

00:42:46.625 --> 00:42:48.425 align:center
- Golden hair!
- Sir!

00:42:48.705 --> 00:42:50.584 align:center
We both are going to Kerala.

00:42:50.585 --> 00:42:51.585 align:center
Hmm. Yes, we're going!

00:42:52.225 --> 00:42:54.105 align:center
- We'll solve this case.
- Hmm.

00:42:54.585 --> 00:42:56.184 align:center
- (with enthusiasm) Okay?
- (Thangamudi) Okay, sir!

00:42:56.185 --> 00:42:59.465 align:center
(Sidharthan) Kaalaiya, hand over
this head to the mortuary.

00:43:00.705 --> 00:43:04.865 align:center
(intense music builds)

00:43:05.225 --> 00:43:07.545 align:center
