Today is my birthday I don't even know why But I felt like sharing this only with you What happened? I am innocent, sir They conspired and pinned it on me I understand Try to move on in life Do you know it is tougher to survive out there than in here? You don't have to worry about your food and lodging You are a good student You will make it big in life I'll guarantee you that I know a few policemen I'll talk to them and make you a policeman, okay? - That's one job I don't want, sir - Why...? - I don't want to be a policeman - Why, my boy? Aiyo! I don't want that job, sir He comes and goes at his own free will - Total waste, sir - I agree, sir He doesn't poke his nose in anyone's affairs How can you support him, sir? You'll pick up a quarrel only with someone who keeps to himself Inspector wants to see you, sir Sir, Nalla Thambi is in Chennai now Is he out on bail? There are 15 cases against him But half the time he's out free Deals with mercenaries totally But he seems to have a big ace up his sleeve, sir Our men will follow him in mufti, sir Give us the weapon permit Das, do you have to report all this to me? It's my duty, sir Sathya, sit down How is work atmosphere? Okay, sir No problem I believe you don't take a cut in the bribes in our station? Accept it gracefully What's the use if you don't earn now? - I want to lodge a complaint - Go and see the writer - Where is the writer? - What do you want? No...I want to file a complaint Over there - Sir, good morning - What's the problem? I want to file a complaint, sir So what's the problem? A chap used cuss words on me Like what? Only if you tell me I can take action - EfF word, sir - Huh? He said, 'Eff you!' This isn't such a serious cuss word Sir, foul language is bad whatever the word is No one has abused me like this, sir - Accept my complaint, sir - I'll do so Go to the stationery shop next door Get me 2 reams of paper and 10 pens Go, man Buying paper, huh? Order tea for all of us Don't worry I'll sort it out No need to talk File a First Information report That's only for big cases The inspector also has to sign it I'll talk to the inspector, sir 'Who spoke about me now?' I have a typewriter outside the municipality office I type application forms A chap walked up to me, sir I typed an application form for him too He handed me a 500 rupee note I asked him if he didn't have Rs 20 on him? He was so rude to me It blew up into a brawl He said 'Eff you', sir Don't say that word in our inspector's presence Sir, he is the one who derided me How could you abuse him? Emergency work I was so tense - What emergency? - Business, sir - What business do you do? - Jewelry, sir You won't carry notes of smaller denominations? If he says he doesn't have... ...will you come here to complain? Apologize to him Sathya, take it Take it, I say Rs 15000 down the drain because of you Eff you, son of a gun! Bro, don't worry That sister is back If you tell her she'll telecast it Sister, you interviewed me the other day, right? When will it be telecast? Very soon I'll let you know 'News 8 strongly condemns the injustice meted to this gentleman' 'Inspector Gunasekaran and his team responsible for this act...' '...should be condemned and severe action should be taken against them' 'Meera Vasudevan for News 8' Will you publicize it on TV? Get lost! If I see you again on this road- Poor man, sir Hey! Go...clear out How atrocious! Hey! Don't crowd around here Clear out right now Are you deaf or what? Clear out Did I hit him? Me...hit? Sir, don't pretend What's that word called? Hahn! Confusion! I went there to inquire And you're accusing me of hitting him Please don't lie So many people saw you hit him If they saw... ...call one of them as witness Send them to me Let's see who has the guts - Please leave, madam - What's your problem, sir? Threatening me? I'm from the media Think you can get away scot-free? Hey, I've bigger issues to handle Can't waste time for this Do what you can, get lost! I'll complain to the commissioner Please calm down and listen to me, madam Just forget this happened How can I let go, sir? He hit a man in broad daylight If you hadn't telecast this, it wouldn't have gone out of hand He has broken his typewriter He and his wife depend on it for their livelihood What did you say your name was? How are you so different from the rest of the bunch? Different as in? As in being a good person Nothing of that sort Instead of magnifying an issue by arguing might as well find a quick solution And in the bargain no one should lose For what? Good you told me about his broken typewriter Poor man! Sir, you seem to be a very interesting character Can I interview you? Why me? Don't refuse For a change let the media report about the police force positively Don't stir up new trouble for me Are you on Facebook or Twitter? At least I can share the online article I'm not on Facebook I don't possess a Smart phone Most unusual Keep it safe Very soon the museum will archive it! No one in the station teases you? Which is your hometown? Is this just small talk? Or is this an interview? No...no...I'll interview you when you give me an appointment Where did you study? Juvenile reformatory I didn't get that What did you say? You heard it right Why...? What did you do? Murder Inspector wants to see you, sir I believe you got a new typewriter for that old man You have a heart of gold like evergreen hero MGR Am I the villain? Or are you proving what I did was wrong? Showing off, huh? Nothing of that sort, sir Youngster that you are... ...you flipped for that girl, huh? Don't be crass, sir You're staying away from our norms here I've been watching you All the policemen here are mad at you Inspector called you, sir He's having a cushy life here I'm assigning him to duty outside the station Let him follow Nalla Thambi hereafter You think this is some game? Do you know how big an offense this is? Your life is gone for a toss! I can't be of any help I'm an ordinary man Not a saint! Poor boy, sir Sathya...? Come inside Listen, I'm furious as hell at you I'll help you for Das's sake If a gun is lost, I must inform the control room If I do so, your life is finished I'll give you an extra day Try to find the gun and save your life But don't expect any support from here Department shouldn't know Sathya, 2 other passengers have lost their wallets in that same 29C bus I inquired in S2 police station I believe it's a pickpocket group Don't worry We'll nab them 'Chennai pickpocket group falls under 1 network' 'They target only wallets and mobiles' 'In less than 24 hours they sell the mobiles in Andhra' 'If we can get the gang leader we can nab that boy' Hey! Wait Who are you? I want to meet Bhaskar - Which Bhaskar? - Blade Bhaskar! I'll bash you That's how it is in the police records Bro, police at our door step 'Police, huh?' Hope you've been greasing their palms regularly? Yes, bro Then why are they here? - How many have come? - Only 1, bro Your boys ...have made a mistake - What...? - Don't pretend you don't know Good for you if you accept it yourself I know very well you did it I have no proof That's why I'm here alone Sir, I accept Let's not blow it up I'll cough up the truth My gang killed Viji I told my boys to plan and do the job at the right time But they were over enthusiastic Chopped him to pieces and threw him in the sea I warned them right then Tell me whom to discuss this with, I'll close the deal Tell me the amount you have in mind I didn't come for that This doesn't concern me at all He has flicked an item which doesn't belong to him I've come to retrieve it Now I get it I've been advising Vinod like a broken record Don't mess with the politician's mistress You'll be in a soup if the matter leaks But he turned a deaf ear My bond with him as my brother, I had to add to my sin-list by pimping for him I want to meet one of your pickpocket boys Teenager Must be 14 or 15 years old I left that field 3 years ago Hey, won't it be 3 years? Must be, bro Hey! Stop, bro is calling you Bro, he left Coughing up A to Z not finding out who he is What, I say? They work their butt out Only 20 bucks in their wallet! Same amount in this too Look at this How did you get this? It was tucked behind a chap's back and I flicked it Why did you? Are you mad? How long do we starve, flicking wallet, phone and petty cash? Felt like going to the next level, that's why Hey, this is a police gun What are you saying? Number is written in paint Haven't you seen it in the station? (phone ringing) - Hello...? - Sir, Meera here Remember I wanted to interview you We met the other day I don't know if I can ask you this But I have no one else to help me Please tell me, sir My gun is missing A pickpocket stole it Do you know the boy's name? I don't know, bro Okay, let's give it a shot Why did you bring this? They came in search of this I can see you're hiding something I can help only if you open up Hey! Go away Nothing to worry I know all the boys I'll find out who it is and inform you I don't have time, sir You'll get your gun by tonight, okay? Don't worry, you'll get it The man we met was a big time rowdy His wife passed away He has reformed now He knows everyone He'll find it for you, trust me Thanks a ton, Meera Are you from Chennai? No, Nagercoil - Your parents? - In our hometown They don't like me working in the media You're staying in- I've rented a room Did I say something wrong? Of course not Meera...er...I- I want to tell you something else I didn't murder anyone I was punished for a crime I didn't commit Why didn't you tell me the other day? That is because- It won't occur to us to go around defending ourselves or explaining, right? That's why I was worried you're talking to me because I'm a murderer! So I wanted to clear any misapprehension In life if one half is down-hill the other half will be all roses You've suffered a lot Hereafter you'll lead a happy life, trust me "Now...like the way I feel now; hereafter won't my life change for the better?" "Won't my dream, wishful thinking too extend as reality, totally true?" "My heart to its rim brimming Overflows overwhelming" "My soul and senses within, in tune something sways, no longer immune" "Till eternity This will do for me" "No more sorrows In all our tomorrows" "A fragrance in the air so new" "This is enough, this will do" "A big cloud in the blue sky" "A tiny drizzle in my eye" "A wave of love washes over me" "This is enough to last till eternity" "Years of my life ticked fast without a soul to share my past" "Love-struck and protocols down My feet have a mind of their own" "For the 1st time I see the sky so bright" "I am walking along with moonlight" "Along with her when I walk wont the path extend as I talk?" "Like I feel now, one day will you give me a forever-replay?" "Will you become daintily a thin drapery to cover me?" "In solitudes prison diffident like a penance, years I spent" "You opened the door shut tight I woke up in that bright light" "This is enough, this will do" "Till infinity for me and you" Bro, this is Dharmalingam here Tell me, sir I asked all my boys None of my boys flicked your gun Pickpocket! Why did you flick this? I'll use this and become a big shot, bro (mocking laughter) How...say it once more? He'll become a big shot it seems Can I become part of your gang, bro? Include big bro in your gang He even has a gun Any problem he faces... ...just 'bang bang' He is our next 'Revolver Rita'! Fat hopes, I swear! That policeman came here only to enquire about this Bhaskar here Hello, sir The boy's name is Prabha My men will show you his house He lives close by but a little interior Kumaran colony Hey, show them the place Thank you very much Why did you squeal, bro? Keep quiet Unnecessarily we've got involved! Whom do you think will support you? That chap has been looking for me in this entire area Then...? Police is no joke! How can you escape his hawk eye? If you flick the gun, is it all over and done with? They'll nab you very easily What to do now? Go and fall at his feet Tell him you took it by mistake Hand it over to him and scoot Then it's up to you As if you'll listen to me I will- Sir, I flicked it by mistake Please forgive me Do you know the repercussions? My friends warned me if I get caught by the police, they will bash me up I didn't know it would backfire Don't kill me Return my gun I had this doubt when he landed here I knew it was something serious I sold it to a thug in Sowcarpet, sir Did Prabha blabber in fear? Whom did you sell it to? I'll...sh...show you, sir Meera, go home - What...? - I've brought a client Bro, he's a policeman I am a policeman What will you get by shooting me? Shoot me if you're man enough My gun is with you Give it to me I'll leave immediately I'll let you off the hook What's wrong? I sold that gun only half an hour ago - Whom did you sell it to? - I didn't get any details from him I quoted Rs 150000 It is higher than the market rate He paid and left, sir Drink your coffee From yesterday your internship is over But in comparison with your batch... You're saying I don't work here anymore Is that right? Your work is satisfactory But your ideology Topics you choose are problematic I think Child labor Beggars at the traffic lights The other day you came up with an issue about some typewriter And the police not accepting a complaint We've got time only till the inspector arrives We have no details of the man who bought the gun, sir Don't you feel something is wrong here? What do you mean, sir? As long as that gun was with the crime network... ...I was confident we could handle this And somehow we could nab them We know it is in the possession of an ordinary man now... ...how do we find him in such a big city? If a common man gets a gun, what will he do with it? Don't anybody move Be calm Come this side Hey! Come over this side Move it...move your ass Come over to this side Stand to one side Don't press the alarm to alert the police You won't be alive to see them when they come Only my voice should be heard in this bank for the next 15 minutes Only then you can all go out alive I want the entire stash We will leave quietly once we collect it Come here Who is the cashier? Is it you? Dump all the cash in that bag Insurance will cover this money What's the insurance for your life? Move back...go Kneel...kneel down GO! Hey! Better move aside Don't give him way Don't come near me Pay heed to my words I'll shoot you Don't hit me Take your hands off Ammu...! Sathya, come in 'A heist at gunpoint in a private bank in Chennai has created a huge stir' 'The bank robbers escaped with a stash of nearly 10 million...' '...have also in the bargain killed a 5 year old girl' Why did you kill that kid? Poor thing What an age to die! I didn't shoot deliberately It was an accident You were fumbling with that gun in your hand If we had been careless we would be corpses now I bought it only last night As if I can kill someone to check if it is working or not Don't give lame excuses Your damn responsibility I think I am the boss here Let's be very clear about that It is my plan all the way After intense research for several months That's why we could exit in 10 minutes successfully The police must be looking for us in every corner of the city Hey! Why are you such a wimp? We have 10 million with us The 3 of us can settle down comfortably with it Your problems have been solved, right? We have to deal with only 1 problem It's alright if it was a mere robbery case We will be hounded for a murder too The case against us is now very serious The police will be hunting for us now Why the hell did you shoot? Now we are guilty of murder Didn't I tell you it was an accident? 'Sir, we are checking Bangalore highways, over' 'We have blocked 2 suspicious cars enroute to Tirupati, over' 'No clear information as yet of the bank robbers' vehicle, sir' 'Some claim it was a black Maruti 800' 'While few others swear it was a red Swift, sir, over' 'Please, sir Allow us inside' 'We need some details, sir' 'Let us go in, sir' Sathya Yov! Losing the gun was a huge blunder on your part Now it is linked to the city's #1 crime Why the hell do you want a job here? Why don't you graze cows instead! How did he get your gun? Wait, sir Guna, tell me the truth How long since the gun went missing? Sir, it is about- Yov! Tell us Yesterday, sir Sathya, from this second you are suspended 'The police department conveys its deepest condolences to the bereaved family' 'We assure you we will nab the culprit very soon' 'We request the general public not to panic at this juncture' 'Have you got any other clues, sir?' 'You will be informed duly after the police interrogation' I asked you to come only this evening? I've got an important piece of Breaking News' 'An unexpected twist in Chennai's bank heist' 'Brought to our viewers of News 8 Channel' 'Further breakthrough in the bank robbery, sorry' 'In the bank robbery and murder of the 5 year old' '...it has come to light the gun belonged to a policeman' Sub-inspector Sathya didn't report to us about losing his gun He hid it As soon as we knew this morning we have suspended him The Police department will definitely take severe action on him Stay here for a while Situation outside is dicey Somehow the Press like a scent-hound will land up Don't step out of the room 'I didn't commit any crime, sir' 'Pandian, you are in charge of investigating this case' 'You form a team with policemen of your choice' 'We will inform the Press, you'll be heading a task force' 'Try to wrap up this case as soon as possible' Pandian is in charge of this case He is heading a private task force What kind of man is he? Absolutely ruthless We should be on our guard Shall we just stay out of Chennai for a while? That is even more risky We will stand apart Our strength is to hide within the city somewhere safe Bro, money? Ask him to note it down Bro, add it to what we owe you already Bro, this doesn't seem right Yov! Do you have change for a 1000 rupee note? I have So what? I don't have 1000 bucks on me We must not show off like the neo-rich! He will squeal and we'll be caught Then what? We should spend it carefully Let's maintain low profile Kadhir, I'll hide the stash in your room Name? Sathya Where is the 10 million you looted? Who are your 3 partners? Where are they now? No, sir You've planned it very well In such a way you'll be sympathized Good if you confess of your own accord Otherwise- The repercussions- Shoot if that's what you want I've been through a lot in life You won't understand Your name is Sathya Studied in a juvenile school Imprisoned for 8 years for a crime you didn't commit You scored 348/500 in 10th grade And 968/1200 in 12th grade You wrote the police entrance exam recommended by warden Mani Your colleagues don't like you I've dug your horoscope out I know you from A to Z Whatever anyone may say Like a puppet on a string A spineless good hearted fellow who doesn't butt into anyone else's business What's the use of being a Good Samaritan? You can sell sacred ash in front of the temple Fit only for that! Not to be a policeman You took this job because you had no other option After analyzing your background Realizing you were innocent Cancelling your suspension order Supposing they reinstate you... ...tell them 'No thank you' and leave Do you feel like erupting with fury, huh? If you want to prove you're a good cop don't hole yourself in a cheap lodge Investigate This money is my whole life Even if I die, I won't get caught by the police You don't know anything else, right? No, sir Will you steal again? I won't, sir Sathya, done Let's go - Let's go - Hey! I meant the 2 of us Didn't he just now promise he won't steal, sir? A man can easily be good with his words Pain is an essential antidote for man Only that will reform him Hereafter he won't steal You're hurting me I'll tell you everything I sold the gun to Sunil I don't know anything else, sir Let our men keep an eye in and around this area He is the only witness who has seen the accused How did the media get this News about you? I don't know, sir What is that girl's name? Sir...? I asked you the reporter's name! Don't hold this against me Do you realize what you've done? Broken my trust into a million pieces How could you?! I agree, what I did was wrong My situation was such I trusted you completely But you were so cheap- I can't be blamed for your thoughts What do you know about me? Do you know my problems? My family background? In today's situation this job is utmost priority I did what I knew to safeguard my job I thought- You needed my help the other day I'm good when I helped and bad when I didn't... ...that's your problem I can't do anything I thought of you as a very special person in my life You don't even regret what you did, huh? You don't understand I can't go back home My parents will get me married You don't know how tough it is for a girl to survive in Chennai, Sathya I liked you very much I didn't think you would let me down There are 3 members in this gang The one holding the gun He is #1 He must have spied and planned how to loot this bank We can't sanction this loan Why, sir? This scheme is for repaying in 10 years, sir How old are you now? 2 months since I completed 57, sir You'll retire in 10 months How can you repay, sir? It's tough What do you think he will be doing now? Spending the money he looted lavishly in a bar in a 5 star hotel Or in the same hotel, he would have booked a room for himself- Sir, that Provident Fund amount- I am looking into it It will take some time The reason I am asking is I need to- Moorthy, come and meet me next week Why couldn't he have done this for his family? My dear grandson Look how I make this bear dance Coming...coming...close To bang...banged your nose The bear banged the little boy's nose Pa, Arthi had kept Rs 400 in the kitchen Did you see it, pa? Pa, don't be offended She has to attend a wedding this evening Your sister Gayathri called me She wanted to borrow a saree from your wife I forgot, pa She has left it on our bed Go and take it You give it, son I'm attending this function straight from work I've taken a few hours permission I forgot to tell you, pa Hari and I are going to Kolkata this weekend We are away for a whole week Will you manage just for a day at Prakash's place? Will you please tell your brother, dear? You staying 15 days with him and balance 15 days with me was Prakash's idea It's tiresome only for you I told him I'll share the expenses if you could stay there fully The one who is handling the money is # 2 How come you got back early today? I had hidden some stuff I'm wondering where I kept it Is it this packet? Give it to me Sweetheart, you're such a gem! Tension from morning because of this Even the boys didn't know where it was stashed This fellow Jai has been missing from morning Without him I feel amputated, dear Which Jai? That lanky chap He has just joined I can give any item trusting him 100% - Hell do a good job! - Why do you bring this stuff here? The cops are watching my back Does Vinod pay heed to my words? Has a mistress, shameless! Why does he hug you? Dai! Just take me away some place We will leave in 3 days - Be ready - Where? Wherever Some faraway place where no one can find us How is it possible? Don't ask me all that Don't pack anything Just come, enough You sound like a hero in a film? In 3 days? We have an event coming up after 2 days I forgot My birthday I know, idiot - Where shall we go on your birthday? - Wherever Wherever you wish He didn't do anything other than control the crowd I think just an 'also ran' case Number 3 (phone ringing) Yes, madam I am not the electrician I had asked bro to get me a job in Singapore I've got the amount I'll pay you this week, madam I'm not too sure when It's ready I'll pay you definitely Okay Kadhir, Malaysia or Singapore? Moorthy anna Our task is over Let's split our shares as agreed and go our ways Be patient Listen to me Task force is on the job Let's bide our time How long, bro? Kadhir, say something Bro, I've agreed to pay 500000 within this week for my job in Singapore It's okay if you lose this chance You can get another job But if you get caught- Won't you listen to me? What's your urgency? Why should I tell you? All I want is my share None of your business You have time on your side You don't understand I told you to join me only if you agree to all my terms and not disobey me I took you in because I believed you will obey my orders That trust- So what? Didn't I take that risk? Who will do it? You won't give- You think I wouldn't have found anyone? So many are dissatisfied in our country If I tell them I have a plan to loot a bank, people will queue up Money is an evil necessity to all But they are scared they will be caught by the cops We have no fear That's the only difference between them and us, got it? Dont, anna Jai, leave it Don't talk like you're a savior! Why didn't you share equally? 50 for you, 40 for me You're giving him only 10 Kadhir, wasn't I upfront with you before bringing you in? You needed 1 million You were happy with that and you agreed? I needed a car I took you in Isn't our deal crystal clear? Are you a kid to instigate a quarrel? Hey! You'll rot in hell listening to this man Hey! Jai, wait I guarantee, you won't get 1 rupee less in your share We have done a neat job so far Entire police force is waiting for us to make a mistake Let them get tired of waiting After that you can do what you want with your share - Sir, I need to talk to you - Tell me Hey!

No, I didn't So...what did he tell you? What is bothering you? Police...? I'll be there right away Isn't this the necklace we bought for Raji's wedding? I told you not to do anything without my consent? Only Jai did I can't trust you any longer I'll keep it under my custody Call him now Ask him if he's safe or not? 'The number you are trying to reach is currently switched off' He said he would be back Shall I drink tea- - Drink tea - You land us in a mess and tea?! Drink your damn tea What happened to you? Why are you sweating and so flustered? Did you get caught in any problem? Answer me I have too many problems I'm not bothered about that Did you get into a mess with this cash? I went to the jewelry store I don't know how The cops landed there You didn't pay heed to my warning Bro, Moorthy anna I didn't kno- Didn't I tell you?

Where is Kadhir? He has gone to drink tea You're so petrified, right?

In that style Jai, listen to me Moorthy'na, I can't think of any other way What does that mean? Give me the bag The mess I am in is beyond my control I know what I'm doing is wrong I don't know what else to do, bro Listen Be happy, bless you How can you take the whole amount? I swear, sir I have no clue about that bank robbery I swear on my wife - When will Jai come here? - I have no idea, sir He should be here anytime now He came home a while ago He saw me and left in a rush I thought he came to inform me about you being here Bro, show him the CCTV footage Wretched fellow! He looks so innocent and look what he has done! This necklace was in my house, sir I saw Maha holding it just now Who is this Maha? My wife, sir Enough of this eating from the same plate story If he shows up, you had better inform me You aren't hurt, right? Nothing, sir You seem to be hurt badly I would've been dead Compared to being a corpse, this is fine! I inquired about you... ...I told you, right? I learnt you send 1/2 your salary to warden Mani's family I decided right then You wouldn't have committed any crime I heard you got hurt Are you okay now? Go, talk to her alone I can wait Sorry, dear Don't think I'm hanging around without any decency Sathya, go Nothing serious, right? I got so perturbed when I heard you got hurt Nothing serious You're under suspension now Why take all this risk? "If you arent in my life completely I have no one else to love me" "Why did you do this to me? You were my soul friend solely" "I am your reflection really Dont break into shards literally" "This too will pass with love as our compass" "I softened my heart for you I merge into your heart anew" "I smolder as a flame to the core I break as a wave encore" "I offer myself to you in delight Our bodies merge to unite" "How will I ever depart? Come to me, sweetheart" "If the lighthouse beams no light to save" "Whisked in a whirlpool how will I escape?" "If the hand clasping mine kisses goodbye what will happen to me, left high and dry?" "I live for you every nano-second I uphold our love unquestioned" "Why cage all this anger and rage? Why scars on a rampage?" "Beloved, come with me, to be mine Walk with me till the end of time" "I softened my heart for you" "Blend into me, my beau" "I merge into your heart anew" "Merge with me, true blue" "I smolder as a flame to the core" "Love, come to me, I implore" "I break as a wave on love's shore" "Entwine with me is my encore" You'll get your husband's body tomorrow Stop that whimpering If only my arm wasn't in this sling I would've ripped your face apart Jai will come in search of you- Does she deserve any respect? Jai will come in search of you with the money You will inform us Listen Let lover boy spend 5 or 6 years in jail and come out After that you both can have fun as planned Now that your husband is dead, it's damn convenient You sob impartially hearing your husbands name and his name! If he comes, send word As if he won't! Hold tight Kadhir...? We don't have time to cry Hurry up Why did you shoot Jai? If I didn't shoot, he would have anyway killed us for the money Didn't I explain? He bashed me and tried to escape with the money I had no choice So I shot him You don't believe me, right? That's up to you I don't intend proving anything to you 'Kadhir is a coward' 'He won't be able to bear even 2 blows' 'If at all you get caught he'll be the cause' 'You'll rot in hell listening to this man' 'I need to talk to you' - Kadhir? - Tell me, bro 'Now Jai isn't alive' 'I will give you extra money' 'Your share is 2.5 million' 'But I need a promise from you' 'Under no circumstances...' '...will you snitch on me to the cops' 'Do you agree, Kadhir?' 'Okay...?' Okay, bro 'I was so furious I took the money back' 'You can come even tonight and take your share' 'Will you come to the place I tell you?' 'Kadhir, what is your problem?' 'Trust me, Kadhir I won't harm you' 'I won't shoot you if that's what you think' 'Believe me' 'Listen, Jai has told me about your family' 'I will give you 2.5 million' 'Get your Singapore job' 'Find a good groom for your sister' 'Take care of your parents' 'Lead a happy life, Kadhir' I want to meet Pandian sir who is investigating the bank robbery What is the matter? Who are you? I want to turn approver, sir We are already looking for a culprit in this case Where is Jai now? He is dead How? That's why I want to surrender Moorthy anna shot him dead Moorthy shot him! So the 3rd miscreant is Moorthy, hmmm? How did it happen? Who is Moorthy? Explain clearly I went with Moorthy and Jai because I needed the money We went only to rob the bank But Moorthy shot a girl there, she died And claimed it was unintentional He is like this in whatever he does, sir Heartless fellow When Jai was being tailed by the police both of them fought yesterday Moorthy suddenly shot Jai also, sir Where is Jai's body now? Will you identify? Yes, sir Hmmm...then? Last night he tried to kill me too, sir He said he would give my share if I met him at Royapettah I went there, he was standing on a deserted road like a mad man I felt something was wrong, sir I escaped in the last minute, sir Did he try to contact you after that? He called me and said 'I won't kill you' 'Don't be scared' He sounded sarcastic, sir I decided money wasn't important I wanted to somehow save myself But he knows all my personal details, sir Jai must have briefed him He will kill me Even if I escape, he'll take revenge on my family We shouldn't spare him, sir I was racking my brains what to do No other choice but to turn approver, sir Kadhir, you don't panic I will not spare Moorthy I'll be there for you We will arrest Moorthy in another hour for sure Tell us everything you know about him I dont know anything about him I thought about it whole of last night He has hidden all his details from me I've been with him all these days Not shared the smallest detail, sir Is his real name Moorthy? Even that can be a lie, right? I saw his name one day on his driving license, sir Call him, you have his number Wait, sir Call him now Talk normally Tell him you'll meet and take your share Moorthy'na Kadhir, please listen to me patiently Moorthy'na, I thought about this last night I'll take the cash just as you asked me to Thanks a lot What about the promise I asked of you? I promise whatever happens I won't squeal to the cops That's enough for me When will you collect the cash? In another hour will you come to our usual tea shop, anna? Sir, check if our men are in position All ready? Over Hello, Moorthy'na I have reached, Kadhir Where are you? I am here I've seen you I can't see you Take a few steps forward You'll be able to see me (gunshot) Same bullets in all 3 murders, sir Weapon is Sathya's Pandian, what do you think of yourself? He has shot in such a busy road? What the hell were you doing? Media is hounding us now How do we tackle them? Why is this boy who was suspended tagging along with you? Do you think you can call the shots? You disobey all the rules Sir, of course I wont disobey- Pandian, we have enough headaches to deal with I shouldn't see you with this boy hereafter We have checked the details of the last call in Kadhirs phone From this number, Moorthy has called only Jai and Kadhir, no one else When did he get that sim card? 2 months, sir He has planned it cleverly so we don't get any clue Knowing we will trace call records he has got a separate sim to call them Whose name is that sim- Sathya, will you keep quiet? I got pulled up for taking you in! I don't want you here, leave You should have used your brains You shouldn't have let him die This is a breakthrough evidence Such a serious matter You should've guarded him, negotiated with Moorthy and nabbed him? What did you do instead? You are not to blame I should have been more alert Wondering why I'm mad at you when you saved my life? No, sir Then go What's troubling you, pa? Today is your mother's birthday Ask your father to pay the electricity bill I have an enquiry to attend Today is the last date Tomorrow we have to shell out a fine of Rs 150 Whose money is wasted? Can your father earn Rs 150?! Hello, Moorthy What is it? Today is the hearing regarding my job in the Enquiry Commission For you too, huh? I need a signature from you I, Inspector Guna vouch constable Krishnamoorthy as ... ...a diligent, responsible and honest police officer in my team This was an unfortunate accidental error on that day Then... ...regarding the bank robbery Created quite a stir in the newspapers I know, Moorthy A sub-inspector from our station Real blockhead! Lost his gun Can they retrieve such a huge amount? No chance at all Can't they nab the culprits with the serial numbers? Moorthy anna, you are still wet behind the ears They didn't note down the serial numbers That practice has stopped in all the banks it seems Do you know what's most funny? They got new notes worth Rs 50000 RBI has a record of the serial numbers One of them has bought some jewelry with it He got caught I read in the newspaper about this robbery People think it is an ordinary theft No one knows this matter is linked This is inside information Yesterday's Kodambakkam murder is also linked with this The reporters are on their toes The policemen are in a royal mess! Aiyaiyo! I was oblivious of all this If that boy hadn't been shot dead... ...we could have got all the details, right? - Shall I tell you something else? - What, sir? - You'll keep it to yourself? - Yes, sir There are 3 culprits 2 of them are dead That gang leader has planned and killed both of them That boy has divulged the name and then died it seems What name did he say, sir? I don't know They have kept it under wraps Come Sir, I have an enquiry to attend today Do you need my signature? Looks like I am your lucky mascot! Whoever works for me gets suspended! Sathya, you're also attending that enquiry, right? Why don't you both go together? What did you say your name was? I was immersed in my own thoughts - Don't get me wrong - Doesn't matter Looks like you are in some deep trouble - Moorthy! - Venkatesan I'm coming Is your name Krishnamoorthy? That's my full name But people generally call me Krishna What is it, sir? Nothing I was reminded of something else Carry on 'Mr Moorthy Can you hear us?' 'What's wrong?' - What happened? - Sir, nothing to worry Where is my bag? - My shoulder bag? - Right here Conscious now, Moorthy anna? You suddenly fainted This gentleman brought you here Past 2 hours he has been sitting here Thanks a ton, sir - I seem to have troubled you - Not at all, sir Your work got disrupted because of me, sorry I am free, sir Would you like to eat something? No need What happened to you? Is this a frequent occurrence? Did you consult a doctor? Nothing serious I skipped breakfast this morning Maybe that's why Shall I drop you at home? Can I take your order, sir? Tea for me - Sir, for you? - Black tea Without sugar Don't worry, sir You'll be reinstated soon Don't you know why I lost my job, sir? It was all over the papers, sir A sub inspector lost his gun A 5 year old was shot with that gun Sir, how can you be blamed for that? Don't be upset I'm not sure how to take this I was detained in a juvenile center for 8 years for a crime I didn't commit You must be aware of the awful conditions in there Once again I'm being blamed for something I didn't do For some random man's crime... ...I don't have anyone to comfort me either This is man's life in a nutshell, sir Half the life is spent in seeking comfort In this turmoil... ...we would've picked someone to spend our lifetime with When that person leaves us half way through... ...we just collapse, sir Don't get me wrong if I ask you this How did you lose your job? Tell me only if you feel comfortable It's okay if you don't want to You know Guna, right? He has no scruples whatsoever I was working under him in P5 police station 10 months ago, suddenly one night... ...we got a call that someone was drunk and creating a ruckus in a wine shop We went to arrest him He suddenly broke a beer bottle and slashed another customer's hand We decided to detain him in the station for a night So we brought him over He babbled a lot Looked like he belonged to some Naxalite group We should've handed him over to the court Guna didn't listen He wanted to use him as a bait and catch a bigger fish In some hideout near Poonamallee... ...he confessed he had hidden a cache of weapons and ammunition Guna, 2 other constables and I accompanied him to the hideout He tricked us and escaped from that place Meanwhile the sub inspector informed the higher-ups Guna got nonstop calls to bring in the criminal 'If I tell them we let the culprit escape it will be a black mark for me' 'For my sake please accept the blame' 'I will relieve you from this suspension as soon as possible' he said Guna literally fell at our feet and persuaded us, sir Trusting him I agreed The chap who escaped was no ordinary petty thief Most sought after criminal all over the country Blaming us for this debacle, our superiors took serious action against us Till date I am struggling to get my job back, sir Was no action taken against Guna? All they did was transfer him to your station I came to know only later He had struck a deal with the naxal and deliberately let him escape All my life I've been a naive nitwit who didn't know to be street-smart All I did was salute everyone all the time! I have never taken a naya paisa more than my salary, sir I am disillusioned with my integrity Even my children don't respect me 'One good turn deserves another' is just an old proverb, sir 'If you are honest, the world will praise you sky high' All a pack of lies If I can get hold of the 1st man who said this... ...I'll thrash him with my shoe, sir Sir, your wife and children- Personification of God That's my wife, sir She was the only solace in my life She ignored my million shortcomings She took good care of me for 30 years She gave me 2 wonderful children Goddess, sir She never asked me for anything She managed from my meager salary to run the household I was never worried about anything Till she was by my side I lived like a king without a single worry She passed away I am being humiliated daily - I got a bit emotional - Don't feel bad, sir Today is her birthday, sir What happened to her? How did she die? I'm such a sinner, responsible for her death too She was a diabetes patient You know sugar will shoot up as you grow old She had to take a long list of tablets And take insulin shots also I was unaware of all this I should've taken better care of her My life was spent shuttling between home and station and probing into cases One day she collapsed They admitted her in the hospital Her health condition was really bad She wasn't on any medication for 6 months She was in the ICU Wearing all those face masks I held her hand I asked her why she stopped taking all the tablets? She couldn't cope with the household expenses 'Children have grown up now' 'We had to pay their college fees', she said She had never revealed any of this to me Blessed soul saved up money by foregoing her tablets I had been ignorant about everything About her needs About the household requirements About her health condition Everything went out of hand She has left me behind In our country prices keep rising But not our salary Do you live with your children now? 15 days in my son's house And 15 days with my daughter I told my son today is his mother's birthday He looked at me for a moment and walked away quietly Maybe he thinks I was responsible for her death Don't think like that, sir I can't blame my children either They feed me thrice a day But other than that they hardly communicate When they were young ...I wasnt able to give them a comfortable life I sent them only to a Govt school My son wanted to become an engineer But I was able to get him only a seat in computer science They are very fond of their mother She meant the world to them Most fathers drown in this routine, sir Half the time we run around immersed in our work We don't spend time with our family or shower affection on our children Sir, I took up too much of your time It's alright, sir Do you want anything else, sir? No, we are done Shall I make the bill now? - Give it to me - Let me pay, sir People often tell me I have a jinxed tongue Whatever I say will come true You just watch You'll get your gun back for sure, sir I swear, sir Maximum it may take 2 or 3 days By then your gun will be in your hand Give me your phone number Number...9841- I got carried away talking to you, I forgot I have an important errand to run I'll take leave now - Tell me where you have to go - It's okay, sir - 'I can drop you' - No, that's fine Yov! I know you are here Better step out You settled down for life because of the gun I sold you But the police came to nab me And now I am roaming around incognito Listen, better come out I won't harm you Let's make a deal Give me a share Our deal will be done Do you get it? Understood? Damn you! Answer, son of a gun Hey! Don't underestimate me I'll go straight to the police Your entire stash will be licked clean What a lot of effort you must have put into this Tottering old man! If I snitch, you'll spend the rest of your life behind bars What...? Is the deal fine? Just 1 payment 2.5 million Only 1 payment I need to talk to you Can you spare some time for me? Will you forgive me? Will you...? I met a man today I think God sent him to me When his wife was alive, he didn't realize her value But after she passed away life means nothing to him I don't want you also to leave me "Will you forgive me? Don't ask me this, silly" "Forever and a day truly Don't go away from me" - Raghu anna - Sathya, come at once Who called you here? I just felt like seeing you Don't try all this crap with me Who is this man, sir? There are many cases of theft piled on him He was in jail for 2 years Suddenly changing his profession he went away to Bihar He was into some petty thefts there 6 months ago he crept back into Tamil Nadu quietly Recently with 2 boys, he has been planning something huge Sir, I am innocent Please believe me, sir Bring that boy here Who, sir? He works in the tea shop where Moorthy and his 2 sidekicks usually meet Come here This is the chap you saw in your tea shop, right? He isn't the one, sir Take a good look at him and tell me No, sir You were the one who told me A bald man around 50+ - Yes - Now you're denying it If he intimidates him how will this boy speak up? Don't know the reason, Sathya Sir has been behaving strangely from yesterday Listen, don't get scared If you remember anything, call sir and tell him Now go with him, okay? I remember this alone very well Whenever he comes he'll only drink black tea - Are you sure? - Yes, sir I write it down in the account note book, I know for sure They will order 2 tea and 1 black tea He's a damn good actor, Sathya I'm sure he is our man I don't think so, sir I told you already You are very experienced You're Mr Know-it-all! (phone ringing) Okay You were right He isn't our man Any clues? Nothing, sir HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE! Such a serious offense No clues it seems Tell me some damn thing He wasn't armed, sir We checked his mobile too He didn't make any calls for 2 hours prior to his demise He was murdered in the toilet So it doesn't look like they came to make a deal What else did you find on him? Cell phone Wallet and room key Wear gloves I got my provident fund money What was the total amount you got, pa? 1 million I want to divide it equally between you and Prakash Why are you also calling him 'dad'? Isn't he dad for me too? Dad or uncle It's all the same You treated them equally and divided it 50-50 Then... I have something else to tell you I had another fixed deposit I had invested long ago When your mother was alive Now it has matured as 200,000 I would like to transfer that amount in Rakesh's name What little I can give him with love from me Something else equally important My old friend Prabhu Prakash, you know him very well too I've even taken you to his house In Coimbatore in the foothills of Velliangiri He runs an Old Age Home I'm thinking of staying there for a while Why, pa? - Aren't we taking good care of you? - Nothing of that sort I could be of help to him Stay peacefully, enjoying nature You'll have your usual office tension I'm all alone at home during the day If he feels happy going there let him try it out Let me know if you need money for expenses I don't need money I've got one more fixed deposit Rs 100000 That will do 1 more, huh? Prakash, I think your dad has a hidden stash at home I never expected you'll get this much as pension That officer gave you hell, right? At least that good soul relented in the end? May he be blessed! Moorthy, why are you here at this time of the night? I came to get your signature Yov! Are you mad or what? Get out, you asshole! I went through hell because of you 'Mysterious murders continue in Chennai city again' 'A criminal who killed a little girl in a bank robbery a few days ago...' '...continues to go on a killing spree' 'A special police force has taken up this task of ferreting out the criminals' 'What is the motive behind this serial killing?' 'Is it money? Is he a psychopath?' 'Or is it a vendetta of a personal nature' 'Task force is interrogating leaving no stones unturned' Anything suspicious? No, Sathya, these are all regular office files What is that file? This is provident fund clearance - Nothing else - Let me see It is already cleared Officer signed yesterday The same officer was murdered That problem got settled to a certain extent Now a new officer has to be appointed He has to get into the groove This will drag on for at least 2 months Is Mr Krishna in? My father is called Moorthy by everyone That's why Arthi didn't understand I'm making coffee Tell me, sir Your father's PF check has been cleared I came to hand it over to him Sir, I think this is some mistake My father's Provident Fund was cleared yesterday 1 million! Rakesh, shut up It can't be that much, sir Why not? Quite possible He walked more than zillion miles to get this million! Poor man! Sir, I think you've got 2 names mixed up This check must be to some other Moorthy Quite possible You don't get flustered I'm not here to make trouble I know Mr Krishna, Mr Moorthy very well I came to help him If you don't mind, can you show me the PF check? If I see it, I can clarify the name confusion He didn't get a check He brought home only cash - Cash? - Yes 1 million? Yes, sir He gave me 200000 'Sir, his name is Moorthy' Krishna 'My father is called Moorthy by everyone' 'You were the one who said 50 year old bald man' 'He always drinks only black tea' 'Black tea No sugar' 'I have an important job to attend, I'll take leave' 'He walked more than zillion miles to get this million!' 'When they were young, I wasn't able to give them a comfortable life' 'He didn't get a check' 'He brought home only cash' 'He gave me 200000' Where has Mr Moorthy gone? 'Did you consult a doctor?' 'This policy doesn't cover treatment for cancer' Sir, I have paid 1 million I was told this is health insurance 'Doesnt hold good for this policy' 'We are unable to process a personal loan for you' Today is Saturday You could have come earlier? Come, let's get it done What is this, sir? Unaccounted too How much? Take it Rs 500000 No need to panic If you are quiet for 5 minutes... ...my job will be done How much do you have? Transfer into this This is all I need I don't want your money Take all that and be happy with your family Give me a standing ovation! You didn't even know your father is a cancer patient Sir, Moorthy is nearing his residence We don't have time for sentiments, Moorthy Surrender now Pandian, listen to me How many poor souls you would've shot, huh? It's my turn now Grandpaaa! (gunshot) (gunshot) Mr Sathya, what happened in the end? Moorthy? Put your gun down Or else- I'll blow his brain to bits Pandian, don't This problem is only between you and me Don't play with my grandson's life I didn't mean to kill the boy It was only a threat But I pressed the trigger accidentally I didn't inten- 'Pandian has been shot dead at the crime spot' 'You shot Moorthy in self-defense, right?' 'Your gun was also with Moorthy, right?' 'Moorthy used 7 bullets For different murders' 'You shot him with the 8th bullet' 'Charges should be negated and you should be reinstated in your job' 'This is the recommendation by the committee to the Govt' You got your job back You can smile a little bit What are you thinking? Nothing About that Moorthy? Listen, Sathya Don't feel bad for him Think of him as a nightmare and erase him from your mind You don't have the heart to hit me, huh? Why does it have to end this way? Get up Will you do me a favor? The fact I was suffering from cancer Do you know why I hid it from my children? One day I heard them talking 'If only our mother was alive...' '...she would have cooked yummy food for us' 'She would have been the ideal baby-sitter for Rakesh' 'Taken good care of our house' 'Why couldn't God have taken our father instead of our mother?' This is what I overheard You know I was happy when I learnt I was suffering from cancer I didn't rob that bank for my treatment, Sathya I've been a loser all my life At least the fag end of my life... ...I wanted to live under my own terms Live like a lion royally and then die That is why I swear I didn't kill that child intentionally, Sathya I was so flustered I pressed the trigger Just like this Rakesh is blessed He is alive But poor kid, I can never forgive myself for her death I have suffered a lot in life At this stage in my life to be arrested and imprisoned... ...to be humiliated in front of my children and grandson Don't give me any such ordeal Please shoot me I forgot to tell you something You know I shot that officer and Guna who tortured me one hell of a lot I felt so happy I will die peacefully now |
