(piercing title music)

00:00:26.105 --> 00:00:27.545 align:center
(birds chirping)

00:00:29.065 --> 00:00:30.065 align:center
(soft, rhythmic rustling)

00:00:37.065 --> 00:00:38.185 align:center
(metallic thud)

00:00:42.625 --> 00:00:44.225 align:center
I don't do it these days.

00:00:44.745 --> 00:00:45.785 align:center
Leave me be.

00:00:47.505 --> 00:00:49.105 align:center
Who else is there for me
other than you?

00:00:49.945 --> 00:00:51.185 align:center
Please don't say no.

00:00:54.825 --> 00:00:56.505 align:center
One last time.
Please don't think.

00:00:57.665 --> 00:00:59.144 align:center
(tender music)

00:00:59.145 --> 00:01:00.265 align:center
Do this for me.

00:01:02.745 --> 00:01:04.425 align:center
You won't face any problems
because of this.

00:01:10.305 --> 00:01:11.665 align:center
Here, take this.

00:01:13.025 --> 00:01:13.945 align:center
Take it.

00:01:17.665 --> 00:01:18.865 align:center
Keep it near the head.

00:01:22.745 --> 00:01:23.945 align:center
Be there on time.

00:01:24.585 --> 00:01:25.505 align:center
I'll go now.

00:01:26.185 --> 00:01:27.425 align:center
(whistling breeze)

00:01:36.105 --> 00:01:38.305 align:center
(rhythmic music)

00:02:49.305 --> 00:02:51.504 align:center
(Sidharthan) <i>In the Ponnumaarapatti
Temple Festival,</i>

00:02:51.505 --> 00:02:54.545 align:center
<i>Muthu was the one who killed
both Mokkarasu and Thadiyan.</i>

00:02:55.265 --> 00:03:00.505 align:center
<i>After that, he left Kanmani Dance
Troupe and even Madurai.</i>

00:03:01.265 --> 00:03:02.945 align:center
<i>Where did Muthu go after that?</i>

00:03:03.265 --> 00:03:04.825 align:center
<i>Who killed him?</i>

00:03:04.945 --> 00:03:06.385 align:center
<i>There's no information
about any of this.</i>

00:03:08.065 --> 00:03:12.105 align:center
<i>Today, the court ordered
to bury Muthu's head.</i>

00:03:13.385 --> 00:03:15.104 align:center
<i>Muthu's head will reach
the police station</i>

00:03:15.105 --> 00:03:16.865 align:center
<i>from the mortuary tomorrow.</i>

00:03:29.385 --> 00:03:30.385 align:center
Hello, sir.

00:03:33.425 --> 00:03:34.985 align:center
Who are you?
What's the matter?

00:03:35.545 --> 00:03:36.785 align:center
I am here from Ernakulam.

00:03:37.705 --> 00:03:39.905 align:center
- You got a head, right? Muthu?
- Yes.

00:03:40.225 --> 00:03:41.505 align:center
He was my friend.

00:03:42.225 --> 00:03:43.225 align:center
Babu.

00:03:45.265 --> 00:03:46.385 align:center
Pattalam Babu?

00:03:52.025 --> 00:03:53.785 align:center
(poignant music)

00:03:58.345 --> 00:03:59.345 align:center
It is Muthu.

00:04:17.465 --> 00:04:20.505 align:center
Muthu was in contact
with me for three years.

00:04:21.585 --> 00:04:23.985 align:center
For the last couple of months,

00:04:24.225 --> 00:04:29.305 align:center
I don't know where he went
and what he did, sir.

00:04:29.705 --> 00:04:31.225 align:center
(weary sigh)

00:04:34.505 --> 00:04:35.945 align:center
I'll tell you everything, sir.

00:04:36.505 --> 00:04:37.665 align:center
Sivettan is dead.

00:04:38.305 --> 00:04:39.624 align:center
Muthu is dead.

00:04:39.625 --> 00:04:41.785 align:center
(scoffs) I don't care
if anything happens to me.

00:04:42.145 --> 00:04:43.585 align:center
I'll tell you everything, sir.

00:04:47.825 --> 00:04:49.105 align:center
(vehicle approaching)

00:04:54.825 --> 00:04:57.144 align:center
(Babu) <i>We got to know that
Johny was released from jail</i>

00:04:57.145 --> 00:04:59.465 align:center
<i>last September after 10 years.</i>

00:04:59.945 --> 00:05:01.864 align:center
<i>We searched for him
in a lot of places.</i>

00:05:01.865 --> 00:05:03.345 align:center
<i>But we couldn't find him.</i>

00:05:04.105 --> 00:05:06.745 align:center
<i>Three months ago,
Johny and his gang</i>

00:05:07.265 --> 00:05:10.064 align:center
<i>kidnapped me to a factory in Aluva.</i>

00:05:10.065 --> 00:05:12.585 align:center
<i>They took Muthu's number
from my phone</i>

00:05:12.705 --> 00:05:15.105 align:center
<i>and threatened to kill me
if he didn't come.</i>

00:05:15.745 --> 00:05:19.385 align:center
<i>Johny knew Muthu would come
for sure if I was in danger.</i>

00:05:26.625 --> 00:05:28.185 align:center
(rattling music)

00:05:42.465 --> 00:05:43.625 align:center
(low, constant machine hum)

00:05:56.185 --> 00:05:57.785 align:center
(rattling music continues)

00:06:04.825 --> 00:06:05.825 align:center
- (heavy thud)
- (Muthu groans)

00:06:06.025 --> 00:06:06.985 align:center
(heavy, limp thud)

00:06:08.465 --> 00:06:09.785 align:center
(distant rhythmic clanking)

00:06:18.705 --> 00:06:19.745 align:center
(Muthu panting)

00:06:22.385 --> 00:06:23.865 align:center
(strained rope creaking)

00:06:28.225 --> 00:06:29.945 align:center
(coughs) Babu!

00:06:31.065 --> 00:06:32.065 align:center
What happened?

00:06:32.545 --> 00:06:33.745 align:center
Eh...

00:06:33.985 --> 00:06:34.985 align:center
Muthu.

00:06:36.465 --> 00:06:37.745 align:center
I didn't say anything.

00:06:38.265 --> 00:06:39.265 align:center
(metallic clanking)

00:06:39.425 --> 00:06:40.345 align:center
(grunts, strains)

00:06:41.785 --> 00:06:43.025 align:center
(Muthu grunts louder)

00:06:44.305 --> 00:06:47.385 align:center
He took your number
from my phone.

00:06:48.025 --> 00:06:49.505 align:center
Who did this?

00:06:49.785 --> 00:06:50.785 align:center
Is it Johny?

00:06:51.145 --> 00:06:52.625 align:center
(Johny) It is Johny!

00:06:54.105 --> 00:06:56.825 align:center
Muthu! Muthu! Muthu!

00:06:57.265 --> 00:06:58.265 align:center
(screams) Johny!

00:06:58.425 --> 00:06:59.545 align:center
Hey!

00:06:59.905 --> 00:07:02.345 align:center
It's always fun to see you.

00:07:03.265 --> 00:07:05.305 align:center
Muthu, I searched for you
everywhere.

00:07:06.465 --> 00:07:08.544 align:center
Kerala, Tamil Nadu...
There isn't a place

00:07:08.545 --> 00:07:10.065 align:center
where I didn't look for you.

00:07:10.545 --> 00:07:14.025 align:center
Even your girlfriend wouldn't have
searched for you like this.

00:07:16.905 --> 00:07:18.865 align:center
I have so much love for you!

00:07:19.265 --> 00:07:20.544 align:center
Do you know that, Muthu?

00:07:20.545 --> 00:07:21.505 align:center
(metallic clanks)

00:07:24.865 --> 00:07:25.865 align:center
How is she?

00:07:26.145 --> 00:07:27.265 align:center
Your Meena.

00:07:28.545 --> 00:07:29.905 align:center
- (shouts) Hey, Johny!
- (cackles)

00:07:36.225 --> 00:07:38.904 align:center
Babu said he didn't know
where the money is.

00:07:38.905 --> 00:07:39.945 align:center
What is this?

00:07:41.545 --> 00:07:42.985 align:center
I'll repeat what Sivettan told you.

00:07:43.665 --> 00:07:45.945 align:center
You won't get
even a single paisa from that money!

00:07:46.105 --> 00:07:48.665 align:center
Eh... That's fine.

00:07:53.865 --> 00:07:55.825 align:center
(in Hindi) But I know one thing.

00:07:56.865 --> 00:08:01.065 align:center
You both know where the money is.

00:08:01.345 --> 00:08:02.465 align:center
Huh?

00:08:03.385 --> 00:08:05.905 align:center
I also know this old man
won't tell me.

00:08:07.785 --> 00:08:08.985 align:center
But...

00:08:09.825 --> 00:08:11.465 align:center
you will tell me.

00:08:11.985 --> 00:08:13.105 align:center
(chain clanking)

00:08:19.345 --> 00:08:20.265 align:center
- Hey!
- (heavy thud)

00:08:20.625 --> 00:08:21.625 align:center
Hey!

00:08:22.145 --> 00:08:24.105 align:center
What's the point in hitting him?

00:08:25.105 --> 00:08:26.345 align:center
Hit this fucker!

00:08:27.145 --> 00:08:28.945 align:center
Only then Muthu will feel the pain.

00:08:31.345 --> 00:08:33.304 align:center
(Babu begins yelping in pain)

00:08:33.305 --> 00:08:34.264 align:center
Hey!

00:08:34.265 --> 00:08:35.145 align:center
Johny!

00:08:35.465 --> 00:08:37.185 align:center
(Muthu) No!

00:08:38.625 --> 00:08:39.864 align:center
(Muthu) Johny!

00:08:39.865 --> 00:08:40.865 align:center
Muthu!

00:08:41.025 --> 00:08:42.105 align:center
(groans)

00:08:42.825 --> 00:08:45.665 align:center
(panting) Let these dogs do
anything to me!

00:08:46.025 --> 00:08:47.025 align:center
(groans)

00:08:47.625 --> 00:08:48.784 align:center
You don't say anything.

00:08:48.785 --> 00:08:49.745 align:center
(Babu screams)

00:08:51.785 --> 00:08:53.225 align:center
- Babu!
- This fucker

00:08:54.065 --> 00:08:58.225 align:center
- will die without getting the money.
- Hey, Johny!

00:08:58.465 --> 00:08:59.545 align:center
(Babu groans)

00:08:59.745 --> 00:09:00.865 align:center
- Don't do this, Johny!
- (Babu screaming)

00:09:01.345 --> 00:09:02.465 align:center
(heavy thumping and Babu screaming)

00:09:02.665 --> 00:09:03.945 align:center
(laughing) Oh, my God!

00:09:04.065 --> 00:09:05.665 align:center
Oh, my God!

00:09:05.985 --> 00:09:07.385 align:center
What can I say?

00:09:08.305 --> 00:09:09.665 align:center
- Poor Sivettan.
- (Babu screams)

00:09:10.425 --> 00:09:12.945 align:center
Even though he had
such loyal people,

00:09:14.425 --> 00:09:16.345 align:center
he died so soon, right?

00:09:18.105 --> 00:09:22.145 align:center
Ugh! I can't watch this drama.

00:09:22.425 --> 00:09:24.185 align:center
Call me if he says anything.

00:09:25.105 --> 00:09:26.145 align:center
(screaming continues)

00:09:28.585 --> 00:09:29.665 align:center
(tense music)

00:09:37.145 --> 00:09:38.265 align:center
(shouting muffles, echoes)

00:09:51.825 --> 00:09:54.025 align:center
(music intensifies)

00:09:56.145 --> 00:09:57.105 align:center
Stop it!

00:09:59.505 --> 00:10:00.465 align:center
Go get Johny!

00:10:00.625 --> 00:10:01.545 align:center
I'll tell him where the money is.

00:10:02.905 --> 00:10:04.025 align:center
(Babu groaning)

00:10:06.105 --> 00:10:07.345 align:center
(rapid, retreating thuds)

00:10:10.865 --> 00:10:11.905 align:center
(metallic clanking)

00:10:14.985 --> 00:10:16.185 align:center
(groans)

00:10:16.985 --> 00:10:18.705 align:center
(intense groaning)

00:10:24.425 --> 00:10:26.145 align:center
(hollow, vibrating metal stress)

00:10:27.665 --> 00:10:28.985 align:center
(metallic snap, explosive hiss)

(pulsating music)

00:10:46.065 --> 00:10:47.065 align:center
Hey!

00:10:48.825 --> 00:10:49.865 align:center
(groans)

00:10:51.585 --> 00:10:52.545 align:center
- (sharp, visceral squelch)
- (man groaning)

00:11:02.065 --> 00:11:03.465 align:center
(metallic clanking)

00:11:06.985 --> 00:11:08.105 align:center
Hey!

00:11:18.185 --> 00:11:19.145 align:center
Babu!

00:11:20.545 --> 00:11:21.825 align:center
(high-pitched, screaming whistle)

00:11:23.665 --> 00:11:24.825 align:center
(metal shuddering)

00:11:28.065 --> 00:11:29.225 align:center
(continuous hiss)

00:11:36.745 --> 00:11:37.945 align:center
(metallic thud)

00:11:38.265 --> 00:11:39.185 align:center

(metallic thud)

00:11:46.065 --> 00:11:47.144 align:center
(screams) Johny!

00:11:47.145 --> 00:11:48.065 align:center
(heavy thud)

00:11:50.345 --> 00:11:51.945 align:center
This won't end with me, Muthu.

00:11:52.465 --> 00:11:53.705 align:center
You need to die.

00:11:53.985 --> 00:11:55.785 align:center
That will be the end of everything.

00:11:56.025 --> 00:11:57.065 align:center
(irritated shout)

00:11:59.465 --> 00:12:00.465 align:center
(wet, tearing slice)

00:12:01.145 --> 00:12:02.065 align:center
(sharp slice)

(Johny groans)

00:12:04.865 --> 00:12:06.065 align:center
(heavy thud)

00:12:07.825 --> 00:12:08.825 align:center

(music swells)

00:12:51.905 --> 00:12:53.145 align:center
(goat bleating)

00:13:03.745 --> 00:13:04.745 align:center
Give it here.

00:13:05.065 --> 00:13:06.264 align:center
Come.
Karuppu.

00:13:06.265 --> 00:13:07.265 align:center
Come here.

00:13:09.905 --> 00:13:10.825 align:center
Hey...

00:13:10.945 --> 00:13:12.385 align:center
Take it.
Hold this.

00:13:13.465 --> 00:13:15.145 align:center
You asked for
a pregnant goat.

00:13:15.385 --> 00:13:16.905 align:center
- Keep this.
- Boss.

00:13:18.905 --> 00:13:19.825 align:center
Hey.

00:13:20.465 --> 00:13:24.105 align:center
Whether you like it or not, you need
to do everything for this goat.

00:13:24.945 --> 00:13:27.145 align:center
Because this is your goat.
Okay?

00:13:27.945 --> 00:13:29.345 align:center
(tender music)

00:13:32.225 --> 00:13:34.265 align:center
While I'm on my way, I'll leave
the hay for the goat at your place.

00:13:36.505 --> 00:13:37.865 align:center
Don't tell my mother.

00:13:38.145 --> 00:13:39.145 align:center
Okay, boss.

00:13:41.465 --> 00:13:43.225 align:center
(music swells)

00:13:45.705 --> 00:13:46.705 align:center
Boss!

00:13:47.265 --> 00:13:48.745 align:center
I'll forever be grateful
to you, boss.

00:13:50.705 --> 00:13:51.745 align:center
Stay well, boss!

00:13:59.225 --> 00:14:00.505 align:center
Come, let's go.

00:14:04.545 --> 00:14:06.105 align:center
(peacock calling)

00:14:18.905 --> 00:14:20.705 align:center
(Thangamudi) He committed three
murders at the factory in Kerala.

00:14:21.185 --> 00:14:23.225 align:center
Two murders at the festival.

00:14:23.545 --> 00:14:24.865 align:center
So, he committed five murders.
That's fine.

00:14:25.025 --> 00:14:26.984 align:center
But the restaurant guy
said he killed seven people.

00:14:26.985 --> 00:14:27.945 align:center
Who would they be?

00:14:28.145 --> 00:14:31.425 align:center
(Sidharthan) We know very little
about Muthu and Sivettan's lives.

00:14:31.905 --> 00:14:34.665 align:center
Now I understand
why he's called "Kaattaan."

00:14:34.785 --> 00:14:35.944 align:center
Mm-hmm.

00:14:35.945 --> 00:14:37.705 align:center
- This is a strange case.
- Sir!

00:14:38.505 --> 00:14:39.704 align:center
Look at this, sir.

00:14:39.705 --> 00:14:40.825 align:center
(intense music)

00:14:42.505 --> 00:14:44.065 align:center
There's something written
as "Muthu" in this.

00:14:45.425 --> 00:14:48.025 align:center
Sir, what's written here?
Read it and tell us.

00:14:49.385 --> 00:14:52.024 align:center
It's about the three killings
at a factory in Aluva.

00:14:52.025 --> 00:14:54.225 align:center
- Muthu already gave us a clue.
- Okay?

00:14:54.385 --> 00:14:55.985 align:center
- But we didn't notice.
- Oh, God!

00:15:01.585 --> 00:15:02.985 align:center
I have a theory now.

00:15:03.825 --> 00:15:05.065 align:center
I will explain.

00:15:07.865 --> 00:15:09.344 align:center
<i>From Benny's words,</i>

00:15:09.345 --> 00:15:12.504 align:center
<i>we understand that Johny hired men
from Madurai when he was in jail</i>

00:15:12.505 --> 00:15:14.225 align:center
<i>and killed Sivettan.</i>

00:15:14.745 --> 00:15:18.065 align:center
<i>Muthu got to know that the killers
came from Madurai or Dindigul.</i>

00:15:18.505 --> 00:15:21.985 align:center
<i>He took on the role of
a dung dealer to find them.</i>

00:15:22.665 --> 00:15:24.944 align:center
<i>It became easier for him</i>

00:15:24.945 --> 00:15:26.825 align:center
<i>when he joined as a driver
for the Kanmani Dance Troupe.</i>

00:15:27.345 --> 00:15:30.905 align:center
<i>At all the temple festivals
around Madurai</i>

00:15:31.025 --> 00:15:35.745 align:center
<i>and wherever people gathered,
he could easily look for the killers.</i>

00:15:36.185 --> 00:15:38.064 align:center
<i>Johny's men also came
in search of Muthu</i>

00:15:38.065 --> 00:15:40.305 align:center
<i>to the Kanmani Dance Troupe.</i>

00:15:40.785 --> 00:15:44.544 align:center
<i>During the Ponnumaarapatti
Festival in 2014,</i>

00:15:44.545 --> 00:15:48.185 align:center
<i>Muthu saw Mokkarasu and Thadiyan,
the ones who killed Sivettan.</i>

00:15:48.545 --> 00:15:51.304 align:center
<i>He killed them instantly</i>

00:15:51.305 --> 00:15:52.825 align:center
<i>and disappeared.</i>

00:15:52.985 --> 00:15:56.984 align:center
<i>Once Johny was released from jail,
he killed him to take his revenge.</i>

00:15:56.985 --> 00:15:59.025 align:center
<i>He might've wanted to keep
the dangers around him</i>

00:15:59.265 --> 00:16:03.505 align:center
<i>from affecting Meena
and the people he cared about.</i>

00:16:03.905 --> 00:16:05.745 align:center
<i>But why this mysterious murder?</i>

00:16:06.665 --> 00:16:08.424 align:center
<i>A severed head in a barren land.</i>

00:16:08.425 --> 00:16:09.985 align:center
<i>And a lot of cash near it.</i>

00:16:10.585 --> 00:16:14.505 align:center
<i>Muthu cleverly used the policemen
of Periyaveerampatti</i>

00:16:14.625 --> 00:16:16.105 align:center
<i>to his advantage.</i>

00:16:17.065 --> 00:16:20.944 align:center
<i>We wandered around Kerala and
Tamil Nadu carrying his picture</i>

00:16:20.945 --> 00:16:25.225 align:center
<i>to inform everyone of his death,
just as his relatives would have.</i>

00:16:25.705 --> 00:16:30.625 align:center
<i>Johny's men, Sengal Soola Ravi
and many others we didn't know</i>

00:16:30.745 --> 00:16:32.505 align:center
<i>wouldn't search for Muthu anymore.</i>

00:16:33.025 --> 00:16:35.425 align:center
<i>It's a form of protection for Meena.</i>

00:16:36.065 --> 00:16:39.225 align:center
<i>He used us to advertise his death.</i>

00:16:39.945 --> 00:16:42.705 align:center
<i>But why did Muthu go
to the mental hospital?</i>

00:16:43.025 --> 00:16:45.305 align:center
<i>How was his head cut off?</i>

00:16:45.825 --> 00:16:47.224 align:center
<i>Where is his body?</i>

00:16:47.225 --> 00:16:48.705 align:center
<i>There are no answers.</i>

00:16:49.745 --> 00:16:51.545 align:center
<i>It is an unsolved case.</i>

00:16:58.185 --> 00:16:59.985 align:center
(poignant music)

00:17:17.185 --> 00:17:18.865 align:center
(tender, melancholic music)

00:17:28.865 --> 00:17:30.025 align:center
(metallic thud)

00:17:46.625 --> 00:17:47.985 align:center
(scraping continues)

00:18:17.225 --> 00:18:18.145 align:center
Let's go.

00:18:50.745 --> 00:18:51.665 align:center
Hey.

00:18:53.225 --> 00:18:54.825 align:center
That ₹2 lakh belongs to you.

00:18:55.545 --> 00:18:57.785 align:center
Sir, I don't need this money.

00:18:58.305 --> 00:18:59.905 align:center
I swear I didn't do this for money.

00:19:00.425 --> 00:19:01.784 align:center
You're the one who buried him.

00:19:01.785 --> 00:19:03.185 align:center
It belongs to you.

00:19:04.025 --> 00:19:05.025 align:center
You will get it.

00:19:05.265 --> 00:19:06.705 align:center
This was Muthu's wish.

00:19:14.185 --> 00:19:15.785 align:center
(sniffles, clears throat)

00:19:18.505 --> 00:19:20.424 align:center
- Sir, no...
- (Sidharthan tsks)

00:19:20.425 --> 00:19:21.384 align:center
Forget it.

00:19:21.385 --> 00:19:22.545 align:center
Do you have any booze?

00:19:23.905 --> 00:19:24.985 align:center
I do, sir.

00:19:26.785 --> 00:19:27.945 align:center
(peacock calling in distance)

00:20:08.105 --> 00:20:11.505 align:center
MOM - MUTHU - DAD

00:20:13.905 --> 00:20:15.025 align:center
(silent mouthing)

00:20:20.625 --> 00:20:22.025 align:center
(tender music swells)

00:21:03.385 --> 00:21:05.105 align:center
(triumphant, swelling chords)

00:21:20.945 --> 00:21:21.945 align:center
Hey!

00:21:22.305 --> 00:21:23.424 align:center
Stop!

00:21:23.425 --> 00:21:24.464 align:center
You son of Kaattaan!

00:21:24.465 --> 00:21:26.065 align:center
Hey, stop.

00:21:26.785 --> 00:21:28.785 align:center
Where do you think
you're running off to? Come on.

00:21:28.905 --> 00:21:29.938 align:center
Shall we go inside?

00:21:29.939 --> 00:21:31.665 align:center
(kisses) Come on.

00:21:32.585 --> 00:21:34.545 align:center
(warm, swelling orchestral music)

00:21:46.785 --> 00:21:48.105 align:center
