Hey!
Who are you?
Where's Muthu?
Who are you?
You just walked in without asking?
They said he's here.
Get out first!
Get out!
(shouts) Go outside!
I asked you who you are.
Muthu knows very well who I am.
But you don't know him at all.
(thumping music)
(footsteps fading)
(intense music)
(engine starting)
(enigmatic music)
(vehicle approaching)
(footsteps approaching)
Where did you go?
Why is your shirt torn?
What have you done?
(water splashing)
Something happened.
I saw you go with that guy.
(spitting)
I slipped and fell.
Don't imagine anything.
(metallic rattling)
Why are you lying?
You're making me lie.
I told you when I came here
that no one should question me about who I am, where I go,
or what I do.
There won't be any problems if you understand that and stay quiet.
Should I stay quiet?
Should I shut my mouth and stay quiet?
Some guy comes to my house and threatens me!
Should I stay quiet even then?
He claims I don't know anything about the person I'm staying with
and that he knows everything about you!
Even then should I stay quiet?
He won't come here anymore.
(tsks) That's not the problem!
I should also know what's happening around you.
I came here just to work.
I don't like it if anyone tries to interfere in my personal affairs.
Sure, all right!
You came here to work.
But we didn't see you as a worker.
Nothing's going to change because of that.
How could you talk like this?
Do you know how much I trusted you?
Compared to men who think I'm just a dancer who'll bend to their will
you seemed different.
I get it now.
You're one of those men too.
I won't ask you anything.
You made a fool out of me.
(sobbing)
(door slams and locks)
(sobbing harder)
(breathing shakily)
(crickets chirping)
(tender music building)
(knocking on door)
Meena, open the door!
Meena!
I don't like sharing what's happened in my life with anyone, Meena.
I don't need this.
I don't want anything.
You can leave.
I don't want to see anyone.
(knocking harder)
(sobbing) You betrayed me.
For letting a person like you into my life,
I hate myself.
(melancholic music)
(aching violin swell)
(melancholic music peaks)
(metallic thud)
(heavy thud)
(fabric tearing)
(tender music)
You can't leave my life so easily.
(sobbing)
(poignant music)
(Meena) Muthu told me everything that night.
Sivettan, Sindhu, the orphanage,
the kids, Ganeshan and about everyone.
I understood only then
that the wounds on his body had healed a little,
but the wounds within him, had not.
I believed I could fix that somehow.
But after the Ponnumaarapatti Festival,
I didn't know where Muthu went.
I got this letter only after that.
(Muthu) This letter would be a shock to you.
For the brief period I lived with you,
I believed I could live the life I wanted.
I wish I could just live with you like this.
But there's still something important left for me to do.
You shouldn't become prey to the dangers surrounding me.
Don't wait for me, Meena.
You'll always be in my memories.
I couldn't be in the dance troupe after Muthu left.
We sold the little land we had, along with the house,
and moved to a different town.
Please accept this money.
It'll be of help to the kids here.
I don't want this money.
Meena, this trust can't accept money in this way.
Thanks to Sivettan's business profits, there's no problem here.
This is Muthu's money.
Muthu was always a troubled soul.
When I think that he was at peace with you
for that short period,
I feel so happy.
Thanks, Meena.
Muthu left this money for you and your future.
That's his wish.
At least let this wish of his be fulfilled.
(Sidharthan) Hello.
(in Malayalam) Sir, she's in the office.
- (in Malayalam) Let's go in. - Can we see her?
Let's go.
After Muthu left there,
there has been no news from him, sir.
I believed he would return someday.
But after I saw a picture in the newspaper last week,
I realised he would never return.
Mm-hmm.
Do you know what happened to Muthu after he left Kanmani Dance Troupe?
Sir, I don't know anything about that.
After Muthu left, I stayed with the troupe only for a short while.
During that time, a man came looking for Muthu.
Who?
I don't know.
If Muthu came, he asked him to meet him at this address.
"India, UAE, Singapore."
(birds chirping)
(Kaalai Pandiyan snoring)
(indistinct chatter)
Sir.
Sir!
(gasps)
Here's the file you asked for.
I'll leave, sir.
(music builds)
Periyaveerampatti?
(mobile phone rings)
Sir, your phone's ringing. Answer it.
- Huh? - Sir!
They might find out you're drunk and passed out!
- Hmm. - (Kaalai Pandiyan) Hello, sir!
Sir, we've been searching for him in so many places.
But his hometown is our Periyaveerampatti!
Nonsense!
Nonsense? Sir!
What will you do by knowing Muthu's hometown? Huh?
Sir...
How many times must I tell you
to ask around about the double murder?
All right, I'll talk to you later, sir.
Idiot!
Sir!
You can go inside.
Here, Doctor.
It's your good luck that we found the file.
Muthu. I remember him very well.
He was found somewhere near Teppakulam.
People from there brought him here.
What happened to him, Doctor?
Dissociative amnesia.
- Diarrhoea is due to indigestion-- - Hey!
Not diarrhoea! It's dissociative amnesia.
He remembered his name, the village where he was raised,
and his parents.
Other than that, he forgot everything else.
When he was here, he was like a child.
Mm-hmm.
Why did he become this way, Doctor?
A certain event in his life affected him deeply.
That incident could've been unbearably painful to him.
That's the reason he might've lost his memory.
He jumped over the wall and ran away one day, suddenly.
We even filed a complaint with the police.
They claimed they were searching for him.
But nothing happened.
Doctor, a person in this condition, why did he run away?
He might have remembered the events of the past.
- What else could it be? - Hmm.
- Okay, Doctor. - Hmm.
Thank you.
Take a photocopy of this file
- and return it to me. - Sure.
Doctor, I have a small problem.
What problem? Whatever it is, tell me openly.
- We can fix it. - I'm not crazy, Doctor.
But if I leave it like this, I'll become one soon.
Doctor, I'm not able to sleep at night.
It's...
What do they call it?
Yeah, it's depression. Depression!
Depression?
Doctor, I really can't!
What happened?
Hey, how long has it been since your wife left for her home?
It's been two weeks, Doctor.
But how did you--
Go home, comfort her and bring her back. It'll be all right!
Okay, Doctor.
- But how should I-- - Hey, get lost!
Damn!
(crows cawing)
(ladle clinking)
Uncle!
Welcome, son. Have a seat.
Hey, bring a plate for him.
No, it's fine. I just had food.
It's okay.
Son, the head that was found...
What happened in that case?
Can't make head or tail of that case. It just keeps going.
All right, son.
It's been a long time since we rented a house in town for you.
Hmm?
Okay, forget it.
Solve this case first. We'll deal with it later. Okay?
Lalitha, your husband is here. Come over.
Okay, I'll go see her.
Dear!
Oh, God! What are you doing?
Say you'll come home.
Only then I'll get up.
I'll come! Get up.
Will you really come?
I will! Get up!
Hmm.
Sit down.
Shall we go?
Let your mother's leg heal.
I'll come then.
That long?
(muffled office chatter)
I last saw Muthu in 2009.
Okay.
After that, I tried a lot.
But I couldn't find him.
I heard he was with a dance team.
I went there, but I couldn't meet him there either.
I gave the address so Muthu could contact, if he ever came back.
- Oh. - But I never expected such news.
- Sir, can I say-- - Just a minute.
Sir.
What happened to Sivettan?
Where did he go? Do you know anything?
I'll tell you everything.
But this should stay unofficial.
Sure, sir.
(in Malayalam) And you shouldn't write down what I'm about to say.
Okay.
Also, I will not say this in any court of law.
- No problem, sir. - Just a minute.
- I'll come. - Hmm.
(clears throat)
- Sir, sir! - Hmm.
An important matter...
You've investigated Sebastian in this case. That's okay.
But we should investigate Bastin. Keep that in mind. Don't forget.
- Hey! Idiot! - Huh?
Both Bastin and Sebastian are the same person.
- Sir, what are you saying? - Yes!
You're talking without even knowing that.
Good thing you asked me.
(laughs)
Thanks, dear.
- Thanks, thanks. - (warning grunt)
Here you go.
Have it.
(footsteps approaching)
These three passports belong to Sivettan.
Everything is original.
He has different names.
Mohammad, Abraham, Vasudev...
A lot about him is still a mystery, even to us.
Everyone assumed that Sivettan,
who went to Mumbai, never returned.
But he came back one day.
Muthu and Benny picked him up from the airport
and took him to Benny's resort.
I was also waiting for him there.
(birds chirping)
Good to be back!
Jessy madam asked me to tell you that Thomas and Kuttu have graduated
and got jobs.
(Sivendra) Good.
(bird chirping)
(wood creaking)
- Sivetta. - Huh?
The key distribution function for the houses built by our trust
is coming. You should attend.
Benny, you know I don't go for public functions.
(Sivendra) You and Jessy go.
(intense music builds)
(Benny) We built around 50 houses.
The cost was around ₹2-2.5 crore.
(loud thuds on wood)
(rustling breeze)
Sivettan.
The draft is ready, Sivettan.
Here.
"Last Will and Testament."
(sharp exhale)
"I, Sivendra Narottamdas Desai...
"Resident and citizen of India...
"Two principal beneficiaries under this will...
"Mr. Muthu and the Narottamdas Trust."
Okay, this is good.
Sivetta, sign here.
That's enough.
One is enough.
(bird calling)
(bird calling continues)
What a beautiful sound!
Malabar whistling thrush!
We should be a little careful, Muthu.
(slow pulsing music)
I had a meeting with the Mumbai gang.
Johny's gone rogue.
He will do whatever he wants.
Let's hit them first, Sivetta.
No, Muthu.
Let's be careful.
Not even a single life should be lost because of this issue.
- (ear-splinting gunshot) - (shouts) Hey!
Sivetta! Come, come!
- What happened? Sivetta! - Come and cover him!
Cover him! Sit down, sit down!
Make him sit! Make him sit!
- Sivetta! - Sivetta!
- (Sivendra gasping) - Sivetta!
(in pain) Hey!
It's nothing, it's nothing!
(grunts)
(intense music builds)
- (shooter) Come! - (Muthu shouts) Hey!
- (shooter) Come. - Hey!
Hold this.
(footsteps approaching)
(panting) Hey!
Why have you kept him like this?
Sivetta!
- Sivetta! - Muthu!
- Let's go to the hospital, Sivetta.
- Sivetta! - (muttering) Muthu.
Listen to me, Sivetta!
Let's go to the hospital.
This is the end, Muthu.
Don't say that.
I know.
- (muted grunt) - Sivetta.
Sivetta...
Look at me!
Out of some anger,
or some drive,
I began all of this.
Let all of this
end with me.
Listen to me.
For all this...
do not seek any revenge.
(sobbing) Sivetta.
Let's go to the hospital.
Sivetta...
Let's go to the hospital.
(sobbing) Don't talk like this. Let's go to the hospital.
Sivetta.
(sobbing) Sivetta, look... Don't leave me!
Sivetta...
(sobbing) I told you not to leave me.
Sivetta!
(piercing sad music)
Why do you suddenly want to go to Tamil Nadu?
Benny, staying here is killing me with memories.
That's why I want to be in my hometown for a while.
I understand you won't come back.
But you should remember Sivettan's words.
Let everything end with him.
Don't start anything new.
Uh-uh. It's not like that.
I just thought of going to my hometown.
Hmm.
I must carry out the responsibilities
Sivettan gave me.
You can take your share from that money and leave.
Benny...
What would I do with so much money?
Give it to the trust. Let it be useful to the kids.
It won't be right. You need to take it.
Don't worry about me.
I'll take care of myself.
Okay?
(weary exhale)
- Bastin. - Huh?
- Is it done? - Almost done.
Muthu is about to leave.
Only this remains.
The rest has been loaded?
This is the last.
(suspenseful music)
Should we inform Muthu about the cash?
No, no. If you tell him, he won't agree.
When the time comes, he will find it.
What?
Take it yourself.
Don't hit him, okay?
No, no.
He's just a kid.
Whatever you say, he'll listen to you immediately.
- Okay? - Hmm.
(emotional music)
Be safe.
(sniffles)
- Shall I leave? - Hmm.
Here.
(keys clinking)
(sniffling)
- Hmm? - Hmm!
Be safe.
Go safe.
- Okay. - All right.
(music swells)
(crickets chirping)
Sir, it's unbelievable!
Muthu's birthplace falls within our police station limits.
How can I believe this?
Tell me.
- I think... - Hmm.
...Johny hired gunmen from Madurai or Dindigul
to kill Sivettan.
Only after Sivettan's death
Muthu went to Tamil Nadu.
That's my point!
Sir, this looks like a deadly revenge story!
What are you thinking about?
(scoffs)
If he forgot everything and ended up in a mental hospital,
what would've happened in his life?
It's unbearable sadness!
Sir, even when he lost his memory,
how did he cross that huge hospital wall and run away?
- Idiot. - Who?
- It's not memory loss. - Huh?
It's dissociative amnesia.
Oh. Dissociative Disco Shanthi.
Sir, when I hear all this,
I feel like I'll lose my already weak memory.
(metallic clanging)
Ponnumaarapatti Santhana Mariamman Temple Festival.
It's the biggest festival in the area.
The only problem is there'd be problems from time to time.
But what happened that year
- was really cruel! - Okay.
Who died?
Mokkarasu, the village head, and his brother Thadiyan.
Sir, they're the biggest ruffians of this village.
Hmm.
No one knows who the killer was. That's fine.
But do you at least know why he killed them?
Sir, there's no shortage of reasons to kill them.
The three brothers are really dangerous.
Anyone could've killed them.
Countless people were out to get them.
Three guys?
Who was the third guy?
The eldest was Mokkarasu.
The youngest was Thadiyan.
There's someone in the middle.
He would spend most of his time in Singapore.
- Hmm. - They're much better
compared to him.
I know him very well.
Every now and then, I would make his machete.
He would say the machete I make for him is lucky.
What's his name?
Sengal Soola Ravi.
We'd look tough only if we go in uniform for the inquiry.
Muniyandi has warned us.
That area is full of his men.
If we go in uniform, they'll slit our throats without asking a thing.
- What? - Murderers!
Whatever we do, we have to do it well.
That's why I cut his ears off.
They'll look at us and know who we are.
- Dude! - "Dude"?
Ravi asked us to come.
Tell him Paulraj is here.
Hey, check them. I'll ask him and be right back.
Why are they checking us?
Uh... Hey.
(man) Hey! Send them inside.
Go inside.
(man groaning in pain)
(groaning continues)
Ravi?
Wait, he'll come.
He said he will come.
(man screaming) Please let me go!
- (heavy thumping) - (man screaming)
(man) It was a mistake, sir.
(man screaming)
(heavy thumping)
(man screaming)
(tense music)
Hey.
Muniyandi said you would come.
Anyway, who are you?
Sir, my name is Kaalai Pandiyan.
Where are you from?
I'm from Periyaveerampatti, just nearby.
I have a goat farm there, sir.
I have more than 5,000 goats.
- Hmm. - Uh...
I also work as a government staff.
I work at Periyaveerampatti Police Station.
So, you're a police officer!
But you're saying you're herding goats and cows instead.
(stutters) No, I just wanted to be clear with you.
(tense music builds)
Hmm.
Sir, his name is Muthu.
We found just his head at the foothills of Konamalai.
In the festival that your brothers were murdered,
he was also there at the festival that day.
If we know that he's connected to the murder,
it'll be helpful.
I wasn't at the village that day.
If I was, things would've been different.
I haven't seen him.
Uncle!
- What is it? - Uncle.
- Do you know him? - (sharp audible gasp)
(triumphant music)
(screams) Son!
It was him!
Oh, God! Lord!
Oh, Lord! It was him.
It was this guy!
(man continues screaming)
- (man screaming) Oh, God! - I've been searching for him
for three years!
I was waiting to kill him with my own hands!
(tense music builds)
(angry scoff)
