Ma, wait-wait... now, I'll dial!

Six... Eight...

Why're you taking it off,

Ma! It looks good on you!

Please sit...

Whats happening? All week you're

just coming, using the phone & going.

Any problem? You can tell me...

Its nothing!

Kindly keep these &

lend me some money!

Here...

Son, check the phone!

"Hello..."

"Hello!"

"Son, its your Uncle!"

Ma... phone for you!

...its Uncle!

"Hello..."

Tell me, brother...

"He's asked you to pack & come, dear!"

"We've discussed..."

Thank you... so much, brother!

"For now, He' asked

you to enter as a Maid!"

"Understand & act

accordingly, dear!

"Staying alive is more important

than staying connected!"

"Remember to inform the boy

tactfully, before getting here!"

"There can't be any trouble

because of you, dear!"

"...mind you!"

Sure, brother!

I shall explain him!

We're going to meet, Father!

Father?

Come, lets go...

Sure...

Please return my earrings...

"You've redeemed it, already?!"

Take...

"Remember, you can

never call him, Father!"

"It might ruin your

schooling & education!"

"You're still not finished...?"

"Ma..."

Come on... Ma! Let

us play for a while!

Whenever I call, you

keep giving excuses!

"but you just continue working!"

I shall come soon, dear!

"But when, Ma...?"

Where've you been, Ma?

You were here, when

we went to sleep!

It's nothing, dear!

...you go to sleep!

I thought of what

I'd spoken, last night!

I made a mistake,

calling you here!

Enough of posing as a

Maid in your own house!

-our gun for generations!

It is gold-plated!

...even today, it'd fetch

Fifty-Sixty thousand!

Here, Keep it!

Take it & leave!

You can't be here, anymore!

I trusted you &

mothered your child!

...not this gold!

If I stay alone Rogues

come to mess around!

...there is your Son, too!

Now look...

Just tie the knot!

& I shall continue with

what I'm doing, already!

N-No... Take this & leave!

"Dear, where've you gone now?"

"...are you deaf to my screams?"

"Come here, now!"

"Oh no..."

"Had safeguarded

it for, generations!"

...but is missing on

this auspicious day!

"Who'd have taken

it? Uh-Oh... no...

It is an invaluable asset!

It was a gift to our Zamin

family from a Britisher!

What Ma? ...is it not there?

Yes Son, I've been looking for it since

morning but its nowhere to be found

"Hey Janaki, get here..."

"I ask you to look after the

house &What're you doing inside?"

Come on, Son...

"Look at her

coming like a Diva..."

No-one from outside

has come inside...

So... how could it have happened

without your knowledge? Huh? Tell me!

...stands like a Mute-convict

giving-away her guilt!

"What' happened?"

There he is!

See the true colors of the Maid

you've allowed into our home!

This is why.

...we asked you not to let a

strange-stray, into our home!

Just tell me what happened..?

Hey, go get your Uncle!

Sure Ma...

Hey wait up, you...

& the other one along, too!

I'm getting to the

bottom of this, today!

It has come to this, now!

What' happened, now?

"What's happened", you ask!

Damn! Should it happen

right before the festival?

Could it be a bad-omen?

"Our pistol for generations,

is missing..." I say

& you just stand there!?

We'll get it back...

Oh god...

Goddess, please find it for me!

I'm lamenting about

my missing property...

"...& she is least bothered!"

"Then I'm sure its, Her!"

No Madam, I did not take it...

Did somebody else drop-in, dear?

No stranger has

to enter, brother...

...we have one inside, already!

She must've taken it!

Say...

Do you have any money problems?

Why'd you rob when you

already have a dependent!?

Speak...

Why're you asking her, even?

She won't speak a word of it!

She'd answer only to the Police once

they take her away to the Station!

Brother-in-Law...

Why would she

have any need for it?

-What could she do- -Honey...

Just shut up!

You know, nothing!

I'm noticing you too...

Ever since she got here... You

don't treat her like any "Maid!"

...think I don't know?

Just wait...

You're finished!

If the gun is missing,

it'd surely be inside!

...just have to look for it!

I've scanned & searched

the whole place, already!

"If it is inside, how

can it be missing, still?"

"You're unwell already..."

"Why're you getting

anxious? Let it go..."

Hey, go and look for her

son! Bring him out too...

Hey... what're you doing there?

Speak...

Everyone out there

is calling you, come!

You're nicely caught today...

You check inside...

"What is taking you so long?"

"Drag him out, I say!"

He isn't coming, Ma!

...but he's upto something!

Ma...

...found the pistol!

No...

He had stolen the pistol!

Seeing his Mother get yelled at...

See! Its found!

He is returning it, now!

Yes Mother, we

saw him do just that!

No... I didn't steal,

but I found it...

-See... -So... you found it?!

It is no big deal for the one who

stole it ...to also find it, yeah?

After giving a place to

stay & 3 meals a day...

You dare to steal from me!?

Now that the

culprit is caught...

"I didn't!"

Lets phone the Police!

"After a beating

or two from them..."

"They'll straighten up!"

"Why're you blowing

this, now? Uh?"

"You please keep quiet!"

"We'll handle this!"

How can you too, say that-

What're you...?

Why did you slap him?

Hey...

...you just, want

the gun. Right?

Here...

Keep it for two days,

play with it & return it back!

"Uh! What nonsense is this?"

"You saw what he

just did, Brother?"

"Not right, Brother-in-Law..."

What have I done, so....?

I know it all...

"Where all do I have

to look for you, dear?!"

"You must be mad

at your Mother!"

Come on up, dear...

Won't Mommy know,

that you didn't steal it?!

Before any of

them could hit you...

I slapped first, to stop them!

Forgive me, dear...

"Alright... welcome, Sir!"

Don't you have electricity?

"Well... it used to shock

us if we touched Current,"

"But now, even touching the

current-bill is shocking us!"

So... I've switched it all, off!

Couldn't climb the stairs

uh?! You seem exhausted!

Here, have some water!

Sir, you a Detective...?

You're right!

Drink the water!

Tell me, Sir! What's the case?

I only have, one Daughter!

& I'm getting old too...

Any day could be my 'Last'!

I agree...

Before my time runs out...

I wish to get her married!

So, I've fixed a

Groom for her...

Is 'He' good or bad...

You must find that out, about him!

Definitely!

"Photo..."

Here you go...!

"Okay..."

You've come, trusting me!

Climbing all these stairs, too!

....it was tough!

"Worry not"!

I shall hover like

a hawk & get-back!

"...his latest color photo!"

Perfect. Now leave

his name & address...

Name is Kalyana Raman...

Okay...

Age, 27!

Brindhavan Street, R.S. puram!

Sagittarius sign!

& his star...

No-no, I don't need all that!

I'm not going to

be praying for him...

...that won't be

necessary, this should do!

I'll tell you, with

these details!

-Is that okay? -If you say so!

Come back next week!

Definitely, Sir!

I'll get going, Sir!

You'll manage or should I piggy-back you?

Oh no Sir...

No Sir, I'll manage!

Alright, take it slow...

Careful-Careful, Mind the knee!

You'll make it next week, yeah?

Sure Sir

...try Chericof syrup!

To collect your monthly

rent I'm forced to follow you...

You have no shame

nor any source...

Calm down...

& are hunting cases

with a 'no-cost' coat!

So... how many months am I due?

Four months!

Didn't I ask you not to yell!?

...its a lil' short!

Get that, here!

...but wait, Sir!

It's only two-months. Balance?

In this condition,

who'd give you a case?

You repeat yourself,

month on month!

If you don't pay

the rent on-time...

"Doctor has already warned you..."

I'll trash all your stuff!

"Hello..."

Tell me, Uncle...

"Kannayiram!"

"Your Mother isn't keeping

well! Where are you, now...?"

"I suggest you get here, soon!"

Tell me, what happened?

"Can you hear, its your

Mom. She has fallen sick!"

Hello, Uncle...

Sir...

Couple of those notes are

counterfeit. Let me check!

I shall handle that...

-Sir, Sir... -Leave!

I need to rush to my native.

Mom has fallen sick!

Get lost...

"Asks for Hundred

bucks, so casually..."

Say Manickam... is

the Son coming, even?

Hasn't her Brother has confirmed

This, is what she wanted!

Pack her-up...

Let's wait a lil' longer...

I've informed him &

he'll definitely be here...!

"She kept praying

for your return..."

"...to the Gods,

till yesterday!"

"& directly from the Temple,"

"...she got home,

thinking of you & lied down!

"And in the morning,

she never woke up!"

Where is my Mother, Uncle?

"Forgive me, Son!"

"What have you

done to her, Uncle?"

Before I could get here what've

you done to Mom, Uncle?

I knew that you'll somehow make-it...

to look at her, one last time,

I tried my best...

But these Scoundrels...

stopped me from doing anything!

She always wished

to go to Holy-Kasi!

...so I had her sent, there!

Couldn't do anything else, son!

I know it was wrong of me

to decide without asking you!

"You may take my life, even!"

"...finish this

discussion soon!"

Wait now...

Finally...there he is!

Conclude this council

so we can move-on...

We're paying the price

for our Father'-fault...

Patience, Son... we

understand your anger!

Your Dad' left

Five acres of land,

& a portion of this house,

...willed to his Mother

& has disappeared!

"Even if he was with us

we could've questioned him"

& now that isn't possible, too!

You're his rightful-heirs...

...but are made to wait for a

signature from someone like him!

Fortunately your Mother

isn't around to witness these!

We have our customs &

rituals specific for our village

-"Oh yes... -Isn't it?

-True! -He is right...

Family-fortune is

only for, Legal-heirs!

Such, illegitimate-individuals

can't claim a thing!

We wouldn't let that happen...

Isn't it fair?

He fails to visit

his dying Mother,

But has arrived promptly for his 'Share'!

You caught the point wise-man!

Our Father, was a Mad-man...

For willing a Share,

for his Mother!

But we don't approve it...

Look here, Kannayiram...

Until this house is sold,

You must stay, settle all

issues & only then, leave!

That wraps it up...

What's next, can we finalize on

the date for the Temple-festival?

Just point where I must sign,

& I shall, promptly...

What's more to

discuss? All okay, right?

Yeah!?

Alright okay...

Listen, this house will

be auctioned in two-weeks

Okay?

Kannayiram...

Our 'Military' mans

caravan by the village border,

...is all cleaned-up!

You may stay there!

Why the rush to sell the house?

That' our concern...

We plan to settle in Kovai city!

You better go &

mind your business!

-Here, keep this! -Take it...

It's your brother, giving...

Why the irritation?

Choosing between Brandy

& Whisky for the night!

Why, what about you...?

Thinking if this'd

run just as before!

"Hey.."

...is that Loser,

leaving with that car?

Why do you care, what he does?

Just, mind your business! Go...

So... what's a Detective?

Had I known...

I'd explain, gladly!

"We should've driven him & his

Mother on the same day, they arrived"

"...but we couldn't,

as we were just kids!"

"& now, he can't

get-away with anything!"

"We brothers

won't let it happen!"

"Keep him informed..."

"Who your Mother was? &

as what she was, here...?"

"Just try to understand.

The entire village knows of it!"

"Kannayiram..."

"When did you return...?"

Hi Sori Muthu bro!

What's with your eye?

Was it any insect?

-Nah, its nothing -...apply

castor-oil & you'll be fine!

But wait... are you crying, Son?

You're reminded of Mom?

No, No bro. It's nothing...

Okay then, I'll get going...

Alright bro!

Let me stay-back &

see what happens!

"This was your

Mother' last-hope!"

"Won't you visit your Mother?"

"Won't you visit your Mother, dear?

How many times should I explain, Ma?"

"-What am I to come there & do, Ma?

Fine dear..."

"Mom shall pray for you, dear!"

Hinduism, isn't

just a Religion...

It's a Science!

On the right day,

we'd decorate...

& make offerings

to Goddess Durga!

Raise your hands & pray to her!

Bless us, Baghavathy...

Pray to her...

Heard any news about, him?

Got no-clue of where he's gone!

...left on the day, your

Mom passed-away!

"He seemed quite

broken, that day!"

...made enquires on all sides!

Anyway, are you comfortable here?

Oh yeah...

Get that house sold, soon!

I'll sign the documents & leave...

"...trying their best!"

...not finding Buyers!

They'd soon locate your Father &

get done with it soon, I guess!

Fine, I'll get going...

Where are you rushing to...?

...to the

Village-Council, of corse!

You'd just gape at them.

Why change your gait, then?

Here...

Is this Buffalo'-Milk

or Cow'-Milk?

Not sure but keeps

the business going!

"Why won't they

turn the T.V off!"

"Stupid girl, why'd she do this?"

Bro, excuse me!

"Sir, what happened?"

...just wait, Son!

"You can't just walk in..."

-"Sir, I'm a Detective from

Coimbatore -Hey, move-out!"

-Hey 203! -"Yes Sir!"

"What's the confusion, check?!

Right away, Sir!"

Hey, get the Mother, inside!

"Madam, please get in!"

"Ma..."

Enough already...

-Who're you...? -"Uncle..."

"The Boy' Uncle..."

"Where' her Husband?"

"Works in Saudi, Sir!"

"Saudi eh?"

"Yes Sir!"

"How long have

they been married?"

"Six months, Sir!"

-Six months, eh? -"Yes Sir"

"& already...?"

"Yeah? What is this ma'am?"

You!

Turn that T.V. off, now!

Sir, don't touch it...

"Evidence!"

"Evidence..."

"...she did marry,

whom she loved!"

"I believed that

she'd be happy!"

"I had no clue that she

was plotted, against"

"Now on, I have

no-one to call my own"

Go-on. Thinks he is

some James Bond!

To file a Case or

take me to Court...

I got nobody...

"Let bygones be bygones..."

"...I've got nothing left"

"Less-sugar, yeah?"

-"Yup!" -"Okay, leave it..."

Sir... Good morning, Sir!

Sir, this morning...

-Tea -at the 4th Street...

House no. 7!

Hey, why isn't the Tea hot?

Sir, it was hot!

-...you want it more? -Sir...!

"Good Morning, Sir!"

Sir, the hanging-case

this morning. In 4th Street...

Yes

Suicide...

Sir, it wasn't a Suicide!

If you take a closer look...

Edge of the noose, from

where she was hanging...

...the knots were too-perfect!

Why'd a girl who's

about to hang herself,

...care to tie such

perfect-knots?

"Also... her night-gown

was a lil' torn, too"

So... someone must

have tied her up &

"You!"

Good morning, Sir...

Regarding the suicide case,

this morning that girl was...

If you observe closely, Sir...

Why would she choose

to hang-herself in the Hall?

& with the T.V. running so loud?

So this is not a Suicide,

but a planned murder, Sir!

Who're you?

Tell me...

"Private Detective

Kannayiram, Sir!"

Protecting the Public,

...is our duty, Sir!

Such-matters don't suit you...

And so...

Sir...

You cannot manhandle a

Detective. Don't you know?

You come into my Station...

& dare to investigate

in front of me?

Sir, I feel he has a point-

Listen to me, You...

Someone sporting a

coat may confuse you...

Should I listen to all that!?

Setting-up, this

new Station out here,

"...was not for

these random cases"

"Understand?"

That was just a family-feud...

& we cannot get involved!

They'll handle it...

Am I making sense?

Absolutely, Sir!

Their council will handle it!

Case, closed. Thats it!

"Hey... take a closer-look!"

"Make it quick!"

"KANNAYIRAM, your true friend!"

"Wait till we get

a hold of you!"

"Agent Kannayiram!"

"Agent Kannayiram, 2 Kms!"

"Police Station: 5 Kms

Agent Kannayiram: 2 Kms"

"Kovai-folks..."

"You needn't dodge

your difficulties,"

"Nor hunt for what is lost!"

"Whatever the case be,

He'd shoulder it with a smile!"

"However much you pay,

He'd accept it happily!"

"It's wrong to not

introduce him, still..."

"He' our brother..."

"Kannayiram, K A

N N A Y I R A M!"

"He has a thousand-views!"

"Who' this character in the Radio-Ad...?"

That'd be my, Bro...

It is I, who refers

cases to him!

"In all, Eighteen-districts:"

"The only detective

sporting a coat is, our Bro!"

"Call him, now!"

"98408-39004"

"He'd skip his

sleep, to serve you..."

"& spoil the sleep

of the, Baddies!"

"Agent Kannayiram!"

"Hey!"

With that, 'Your Agent

Kannayiram' Ad...

Why're you hacking & putting

me up for sale, in your channel?

I plead you to, never

play that crappy-ad!

After listening to your Ad,

Coat-rentals are calling me...

& asking to settle-dues!

Please understand...

Whenever I ask

you you may play it!

"Who are you?"

Sir, I'm officially shooting a village documentary

"Do you have permission?"

Sir I was told, permission isn't needed

...to shoot a Documentary, in this village!

"Check with my Superior!"

"Go on..."

Greetings, Sir

-I'm Athira Victor

-Yeah, tell me...

For me to shoot here, I was

asked to take your permission!

...a video camera?

-Digital camera? -Sir...?

What rate? What model?

I could come along

& help you with it, too!

"Oh brother, I've lost my

cat. Please help me find it..."

It means a lot to me...

When it was born,

I lost my Granny...

So me & my cat would

drink milk together!

Are you still 'drinking-milk'?

Yes brother, I couldn't

let go of that habit!

Brother, please find it for me!

I've not had milk, for two-days!

Just wait, you!

Go now & return with

a photo of your Cat!

Greetings, Bro...

...heard you

returned a week ago!?

Caught your

advertisement on radio too!

It'd be so cool,

if it came on T.V.

Tell me why're you here...?

Its a big deal that I advertise

on-radio, for the petty-cases here!

Whats the matter, now? Quick!

Sir...

We heard your Radio-Ad

& found it interesting!

I'd like to capture you for a

Documentary that I'm filming

"It'd be great if I

could interview you..."

But it could be a while

before the camera gets here

"It is a big-camera, Bro!"

& pretty-heavy, too!

"Wait!"

...you, too!

"He'd be here, now!"

Sir, watch it...

What did I tell you...!

"Come in..."

"Please come!"

Welcome...

Its safe...

"Military-caravan"

From outside I

mistook it for a Bus!

"Cockroach..."

Fear not...

That cockroach is my pet,

"Tina, go inside!"

Tell me...

I put the camera

on-charge & forgot to get it!

"...we're shooting

all-night too!"

So now, Ajay'll go & get it

"My time is valuable!"

Where're you staying?

Near the Guardian-Temple, Bro!

"Five minutes, Bro..."

"& I'll return with

the camera..."

'Narasus' coffee, right?

Cross gets your neck,

Cockroach gets your shriek!

Your color is a

mix of Anglo-Indian!

-been here around for 3days, &

the roaming has your skin, Tanned!

& look comfortable

in Cargo-pants!

So... guessing

by all this, are you-

A Wedding-Videographer?

"Sir, Documentary-Filmmaking!"

"Uhm, Film-Documentary!"

"So... like Discovery?"

"Sir, for a News-Channel!"

Oh... okay!

"Wow, Sir!"

You got it all

correct! But how...?

How did you find out?

"I'm Agent Kannayiram"

Fees is two-thousand!

"Agent... okay!"

But what Documentary,

inside this village?

Sir, Documentary is about

the beliefs in rural-beliefs!

Your Documentary is on villages.

But, I'm a City-boy. Why me..?

Camera's here!

"Hey! you brought it!"

"-Thank goodness! -Moreover..."

Camera' makes me very shy...

So, uhm...

Actually... I'm meeting a

Detective for the first time!

'First-time', eh?!

"Shall we start the Interview?"

"Yeah, its a great

opportunity for you. Go ahead"

"So... why did you

choose this profession?"

You already seem very frail...

I'm not sure how

to tell you this!

Why Son?

But its great that you came to me!

What're you talking about, Son?!

The Boy you've fixed...

is not of proper character!

Uh-Oh...

He sings love-longs

in street-corners!

& that girl too, was behaving

very bad, in a public place!

Here, a photo of

their jolly-times!

His character isn't right! Ditch him!

But Son...

This girl... is my daughter!

Yes Son!

I'm the People' Guardian!

"But, they don't know that!

Sir.."

"Its... about your... Costume!"

This is not merely a costume,

but a 'feel' for my capability!

"Its a nice costume, nice..."

What kind of cases

do you take up?

"Psycho,"

"Sadist,"

"Serial-Killers!"

"& also, Financial-Scam!"

Like-so, cases which no-one

can solve. I take those-up!

"Excuse me..."

"Couldn't find a

photo of my Cat, Bro!"

"But I could come-along..."

"New-client?"

Hey! Just wait...

Aren't we going

to find, just that?

"What is this Kannayiram?"

I thought, you only deal

with high-profile cases...?

"Crime-Scenes, Murder-Mystery!"

"Cat or pot, its not important!"

"Sentiment is important!"

What we're doing isn't important

but whom are we doing it for, is!

Damn!

Check out my performance, now!

"I'll shoot this, please!"

...you Shooting, already?

Couldn't you inform?

"Hai, I'm Agent Kannayiram..."

...you're watching-

Hey, one second!

Cut-it, Cut-it! Hey,

get my cap, quickly!

"Kannayiram, camera is rolling!"

-Please start... -Okay!?

We have an important-case!

Son, come here...

Say 'Hai' to the camera...

So, He finished his Cat' milk & the

cat is pissed. It is now, missing!

Now we're looking

for it Come, follow-me!

...still Interviewing, yeah?

"We're rolling, keep going..."

"Yup, it's him!"

"Sister,stay close..."

"You'd help in making me,

a big-popular Detective?"

"You're already very

talented, Kannayiram!"

You'll definitely become

a popular Detective!

So, this is the Cat' milk-bowl!

It has no smell, so it must've

been unused for 2-3 days!

Look here, paw-prints of that Cat,

this should lead us. Follow...

"I'm sure this jobless-rider'll stop

& try to small-talk, just watch!"

-Who are you Ma'am? -"Hey..."

Is she 'new' around here?

You continue staring

& she'd become 'Stale'!

She is new...

As far as this

village is concerned...

From birth to death it is

all about customs & rituals

They're strong-believers & also

...a Superstitious-lot!

Oh yeah!

"Something-Fishy..."

I guess we're

closing-in! Come on...

Sister...

"Whats the name of the fish?"

"Sankara!"

-& your Cat' name? -"Sheela"

"Got it..."

Cat is Sheela...

& Fish is Sankara!

So... there must be

some kind of a relationship!

"Surely, it should be

in this surrounding..."

"Hey... it' Sheela!"

"Sheela is there..."

Come-on, Make it fast...

Brother... that is my Cat!

Come on, Come

on! Keep it cool...

I'll get Sheela out,

without any trouble!

Hai... just as expected

Baby-Sheela, has been found!

But in our search

for this lil' cat...

A 'lousy' cat has

also been spotted!

It must have sneaked-in

stealthily too...

Yeah, come-on Sir! Step-out!

What happened...?

Come-on, put your

best-paw forward!

"Oh... that's our

Village-Council Chief!"

Mind your bald-head!

"Let-go of my saree!"

Come close...

Here...

Look after the Cat, carefully!

Hey baby!

"...never go for its milk, here-on!"

"Remember to take a photo!"

So Chief, for how long are

you rolling this old-barrel?

And... is this your customary

costume for such twisted-sports?

Go on, greet our Village T.V. viewers!

Village T.V. uh?

"Case closed!"

Body is heated-up,

already! "Come lets go..."

How about some, Tea?

You, call for it...

Two Strong-Tea, Master!

Just like him...

Nobody is aware of my value!

"That is the biggest

problem in the world!"

"I'm also planning to

move to Coimbatore!"

Oh, but why...?

Cos I don't get any case here!

A case'd never

come looking for you...

But it is you who must

go looking for a case!

...read it behind an

Auto-rickshaw, yeah?

"Ya Sir, its going good..."

Sure, I'll check and get-back!

Okay bye!

"Thank you..."

"Shame!"

I came here to Document casually!

But He isn't letting me...

Why? What does he want?

"Recently, in these

surroundings..."

"Unidentified-bodies

are being found!"

& no-one has come-forward

to claim them, even

A local-reporter has

informed, my Boss!

"Won't you come to meet Mom?"

"Recently, in these

surroundings..."

"Unidentified-bodies

are being found!"

"& no-one has come-forward

to claim them, even"

"Who's there...!?"

Sir, there is a dead body here!

Remember me?

Private-Detective Kannayiram!

-You... -Sir!

Same retard was at the Station. Right?

Yes Sir. It is him!

"You killed and dumped it here?"

Can't hear...

Is he messing with me?

How did you reach the top?

...with a lot of difficulty!

Careful... Slowly-Slowly...

Keep coming straight!

Slowly. Come slowly...

No need to hurry!

Sir, this body must've

been dead for 12-16 hrs.

If you observe, from

a distance of 3-4 ft.

Sir, let us team-up & find

who's committed this murder...

"Team-Up?"

Hey, Chidambaram...

Sir don't declare a Suicide, again!

Shut-up

It is a Murder!

"Get him out..."

Damn!

You!

Why is the face so damaged?

Sir...

Sir!

Your Style oozes, Sir...

Smoking with Biriyani!

"What a style..."

Looking at you, I just feel

...my appetite growing, Sir!

How blessed that egg, be!

Swiftly sliding-in...

After inspecting

a rotting-corpse,

If you can finish

a Full-Biriyani...

You are something-else, Sir!

Just thinking of it makes

me want to vomit, Sir!

Sir...

Sir...

Sir...

Please Sir...

"Anna Marie!"

Is the Post-Mortem, done?

Fine, I suggest that you

stay-back and finish it up!

"Athira...!"

"What happened, Kannayiram?"

Come Athira, I was losing it, in here!

"Athira, I'm here!"

What is this, Sir?!

Why is he in there, Sir?

But he...

...was He troubling you!?

Just say the

word & I'll rip him...

I'm Detective

Kannnayiram' friend!

Him?!

& You...?

You... are his friend?

Yes Sir!

Arresting with no

reason is wrong, Sir!

Something suspicious, found in a

crime-scene becomes: Evidence!

But He...

When a Joker like

him is caught there...

He'd become a: Suspect!

Can't let him off, that easily!

He' been detained

for, Questioning!

...only then, can

he be released!

Got it?

What do we do...?

Be silent...

This is normal in

a Detective' life!

It'll feature in

History-books, tomorrow!

In the screenplay,

all such characters:

Can be killed-off!

By the way, our title would be:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5!

...5, 6, 7!

"Seven bars, Seventeen Hours!"

"Stay inside all-night

You'll get your story!"

Inform if they touch you,

Kannayiram I'll take care!

"They're all just

Sour-candy You go...!"

Athira, do not shut the

office Clients may visit...

-Okay? -"Hey!"

-Hello... -"Listen..."

"Is it Detective-Agent Kannayiram?"

Oh yes...

This is Kannayiram, speaking...

-Sir! -"Tell me..."

It could be a Client, Sir!

Please Sir, pass it to me!

"...regarding the dead body

next to the Railway track"

"...need to talk with you!"

Won't you come to the Police?

"You can't be serious

about the Police!"

I'm going to kick you! This is

Inspector Parudhi speaking!

Your Kannayiram is behind

bars Come & see for yourself!

Sir, do not misbehave with my

Client! I don't appreciate that...

Hang-up, you wastrel!

You aren't performing your

duty Nor allowing me to...

"Divya..."

Sir...

...yes, You!

Tell me...

Whatever is troubling you

we can strike & smash it away!

Are you wanting a Bail?

Stop crying & speak-up,

Sir! Was it a theft, case?

...No!

Who is Divya, Sir?

My Daughter!

"What happened, Sir?"

She tuitions children

who can't afford Schooling

...buys them books, too!

She did everything she could!

She left to Erode for

some work on this 12th!

That night...

She called me at 10 p.m.

She sounded tense...

"Why are you tensed, dear?"

"Tell me what is it!" I asked

"That man is following me..."

"I'm very scared,

Dad!" she said

"And that man..."

"What is that man

doing?" I asked

"Dad-Daddy..." She called

frantically to say something

But the line got cut!

I called back immediately...

but couldn't reach her!

I didn't know what to do...

I was going mad...

Quickly,

I took a friend along and...

went to complain at the

Police Station near Erode!

& the Inspector there, said:

"We have an unidentified body!"

"Is that, your Daughter?"

He asked!

Still... I proceeded

with a heavy-heart!

Divya... Divya!

It was my daughter Divya, Sir!

And that Inspector tells me...

that, "she' committed

suicide after a love-failure"

I couldn't understand...

The nail-marks on her body...

The hand that'd slapped her...

was impressed on her face!

Seeing all that...

I told the Inspector...

"Sir... She spoke

to me on phone!"

And gave him all the details...

But He never took

anything seriously!

There were

nail-marks on her body!

& impression of the

palm, that'd slapped her!

It wasn't a suicide...

I swear, it wasn't a Suicide...

My lil' girl was

raped and killed!

This time, He' let you off!

Hey...

"From the same number

she'd received 5-6 calls!"

"Nine...Seven..."

"One...Zero..."

"Two...Two...Nine..."

"Four...Five...Six..."

"I want, Justice!"

"They must've done something!"

"No-one must

experience, my plight!"

"Divya..."

"And for asking Justice..."

"I too am

falsely-accused & jailed!"

"Tomorrow morning..."

"...they plan to shift

me to the Sub-Jail!"

He was crying all-night

It was a pitiful sight...

No Father must ever

be in his situation...

They've raped & killed her!

There' no-one to

question them, even!

I don't understand why the Police

are trying to cover this case!

The only clue with

us right now is...

The number Kumarappan ga-

"No-one must

experience my plight!"

"Hey..."

...you'll do as asked, correctly?

Definitely, bro!

Hey...

This must be stuck

all over the village!

Surely bro...

Consider it done, bro!

"When someone we love, dies"

"We'd long to see their

face, one last-time!"

"You've made me look at my girl

in such a state. Why Oh-God!"

This is how it must

be stuck Okay...?

It must be at the right height

& distance, for visibility!

"My plight... nobody should-"

"Won't I find Justice?"

"As per registration..."

Its registered in the name of "Maran!"

So..

...with this information

we must move step-by-step

"No. 4, Andhamadam street..."

"Selvapuram"

"Kannayiram..."

"...Kannayiram!"

"Why've you grown

such a big mustache?"

You were handsome, without it...

Why, you also looked better

without wrinkles. What to do now?

In our Eastern Corner-Temple...

The Deity's-blade

has been burgled!

Look for it, Son!

I'm working on such an important case &

you ask about: Deity'-blade & Dinner-plate!

I'll get going, then...

Keep going...

I was asked to inform you, Son!

I'm not taking-up cases

for free, like before...

Who is it...?

Open-up, its your well-wisher!

"Casting a Vote is, your Right!"

"Not doing so is, our Plight!"

"Illegal votes are, a Fright!"

"Stopping it is, your Might!"

Cast the right vote & be

in peace for, five years!

Cast an illegal-vote

& you'll be jailed!

Stop your silly-sermon...

Which Party are you from?

What is your Logo?

How much are you

paying for each Vote!?

State that first & we

can discuss the rest!

You dare to demand a bribe

from a Government official?

I'm here to verify

the Voter's List...

I could put you

in jail, for this!

Sir, Sir... Please No!

I didn't know that you are

a Government official, Sir!

I mistook you for a Party-member

with your mustache, Sir!

(Could've chosen a better mustache!)

Please don't mind it, Sir!

How many of you reside, here?

-Just me & my

Husband -& your name?

I'm Chinna Paapa, Sir?

& your Husband?

He' Periya Muthu...

"Periya Muthu!"

'Maaran' from

upstairs... Is he your son?

No-No... He isn't my son!

Besides, we don't

have any kids yet!

In the near-future, maybe...

He is renting the place, Sir!

I keep him only because

He pays rent, promptly!

Very shrewd, though!

Where does Mr.Shrewd work?

Oh I have, no clue...

...but a bunch of guys

do come, looking for him!

& they do seem like a Team...

I had come on the 18th!

But this was locked...

Where had you gone?

...to the Cinemas, Sir

-and went to a Hotel too!

Maaran wasn't home too...

Where had he gone?

Oh is it...?

Uhm... it was a Thursday,

He came & left, in a hurry...

Saying, He was off to Erode

& left the keys with me!

But why're you asking

me about him, Sir?

Periya Muthu & Chinna

Paapa must vote, without fail!

Only then you'd conceive!

Say, Kannayiram...

"I've heard... Although

you missed to mention!"

You've gone to

forbidden places, already!

"What're you talking about,

Chief? I don't understand..."

You don't know...?

"A dead body was found

near the Railway-track..."

-"Is it?" -And like a clown...

Putting on his Coat & Cap...

He' gone close to that

body for 'examining'...

"At that moment, the

Police have arrived..."

They cuffed-him right-there...

Took him to the Station and...

Kept him all-night

& bashed him up!

"Instead of wasting time on useless

-issues, atleast from now on..."

Go & look for a regular-duty!

I shall go & look

for a good-duty...

Haven't you gone for

your 'Sneaky-duty'?

What' he mentioning about, Chief?

"Oh, its nothing!"

You must make it to the

carnival Tomorrow-night!

...for all kinds of footage!

Sure...

"What type of get-up

is this, Kannayiram?"

A Disguise...

"Really?"

"Nice..."

"Let's hope they

don't find you!"

"Somehow we must

follow, Maaran..."

"...and we're solving this case!"

"Tomorrow there is a festival, you know?!"

How was the Temple sweet?

"Surely, I'll go..."

Breakfast, done?

Greetings, Bro!

Its the blade, the old-lady

mentioned! But why is it, here!?

"There were 2

guys standing here!"

"They must've left it!"

"Don't know where they went..."

This is the Thousand

year old Temple I spoke of!

The Offerings

here are tasty too...

"Oh boy..."

You found it already...!

"My dear..."

"Priest..."

"Come & take a look..."

"The Deity' blade,

has been restored!"

Try this book on the

various-varieties of dung-flattening!

Seem to be in a hurry...

Yes Lady...

Pay the rent early, Son

"Kannayiram, he'

going to notice you!"

"Cover your face with something!

Ya-ya, please silent..."

Excuse me

The car I'd taken on 18th...

Yes!

I need to check inside!

Within one hour, I'll

get him. "Watch it..."

"Who' this Guy?"

I don't know...

Seems to be new...

Got the case-documents, yeah?

How much should I pay the Police?

4000 Rs.

Here...

take Rs. 2000 and,

"...wait by the Chavadi Mills"

"A guy'll come..."

Exchange this for

the documents...

-Sure -Get going...

Go!

-Go, follow him... -"Okay!"

Go...

Lose the peanuts...

"Why're you calling

repeatedly? Hang-up now!"

Crazy-woman...

Sir, read this for mental

and also hair-growth!

...as it' got all the

details on Shampoo!

Look, Herbal, Ayurvedic

Green-Coconut & more, Sir!

Go...

"Village Co-Operative

Bank Irumbathoor"

Is it...?

I'll handle it, myself!

"Encourage, Entrepreneurs..."

"...and Farmers be sec-"

-(He is done for, now!)

You. What're you

observing outside a bank?

"Good Morning Sir,

have a fantastic offer"

I got all kinds of books, Sir...

Now-a-days, Kids

aren't reading enough...

Get him this book & witness his

IQ level go from 0 to 150, Sir!

Not jus that, everything is

answered inside this Super-Book!

I still got more books, Sir!

Ramayan, Mahabharath,

Quran & also the Bible

Elders have taught us:

"To perform our Duty,

& not expect the reward!"

Oh yeah?!

If I, "mustn't expect reward"

Who'd work for, Free?

Your IQ level is excellent, Sir!

What book' do you want, Sir?

-Wow, Kama Sutra...

Change that reaction, You!

"Really?"

"Brother..."

"Brother..."

"Sodium Hydroxide"

That, NaOH solution...

Bottle...

"Glycerated Gelatin"

"Xylene solution"

& "Melted Paraff-"

You, unplug right now!

"Sodium Hydroxide,

Glycerated Gelatin &..."

"Xylene solution

and Melted Paraffin..."

You follow?

Black finger kit-powder!

You have all these, yeah?

What're you gaping at?

Why? You think I

don't know anything?

Yes, I don't know...

Do you have at-least

Sodium Hydroxide?

I only got IODEX pain-relief

balm to keep you calm!

But why do you need,

these medicines?

What you're asking

is a rare combination!

So... you've taken it!?

It only plays ballads

from "Idhayam"!

I tried it on & heard

static noise so I put it on!

These medicines are used

by the Forensics department

Sorry, we don't stock these!

No Sir, Please leave...

"What you're

asking, can't be done"

"Its very difficult!

I shall compensate...!"

Its not possible,

stop disturbing!

"Your frequent-visits

jeopardize my position, here!"

"Here..."

"Get it done, with this...

No-way, leave me alone!"

"Try to understand..."

"You know why I ask, right?"

"You're getting me into trouble"

Hey, get-lost!

Pissing in proximity...

"The one accompanying

Maaran is Dileep"

"He' also living

in the same street"

"Dileep...?"

"Hey... it's that same cover!"

"I noticed another man handing

over the same cover to Dileep"

Sure its the same cover?

Yes, the same cover!

"Your eyesight is

excellent in the dark, even!"

Even with these

binoculars, I can't see!

"You're a fabulous

Assistant You work for me!"

Observe & report on

what they're discussing!

-"What happened?!" -"Hey..."

"...something' going on!"

"They're moving, again!"

"How far're they going?

I'm low on petrol, too!"

"What happened?"

-I just told you... -Hey!?

They've gone, already...

Ask them them to wait...

Step-down, First!

It' totally dried-up!

Are you a real Agent, even?!

Be it an Agent or President, a

bike can't run without Petrol!"

"Dileep, was giving a

number to someone yesterday"

I made a note of it...

I followed him

into a building...

...there, He handed over

this cover to someone!

In this murder, "Dileep'

supposed to be involved!"

"Its getting late..."

"W-What...?"

"Divya...?"

Who? Who're you...?

Isn't your Dad,

Kumarappan in jail?

Uh?

...after you were raped & kill-

"Whom are you talking to, dear?"

"Dad..."

"I promise, it was

your Dad in the Jail!"

Is 'He', your Father?

Then who was, "He"?

What is this, Son?

What're you talking?

Dear, your name is Divya, Right?

Weren't you raped

and your Father jailed?!

He is out of his mind...!

Get lost, right now...

Just be gone!

Kannayiram...?

I just want to talk with them!

Go away...

What happened? What'

the problem, Sir!? Let me...

"Okay, Sir"

"Sorry... Please"

Take him away, before

he gets beaten-up!

What're you doing, Kannayiram?

"Seems like a nut-case..."

Its Divya...!

Why're you behaving

like this, Kannayiram?

-"Divya..." -Uh?

& She' alive, Athirai...!

-"Divya? Are you sure? -Yes!"

That is the girl, I saw in the

photo... Mr. Kumarappan' daughter!

You merely had a

glimpse at the photo

& how're you sure it is 'Her'!?

"Who' sent you...?

Mr. Muttaiah, Right?"

Yes Sir...

Sir, we're here to meet

a prisoner, Kumarappan

I was told about: Shifting

him to Sub-Jail on the 26th!

Am I not checking? Hold on!

Sure...

Please relax...

"There was no

Kumarappan, transferred!"

From the Sulur Station

they'd brought him here

I've checked & there' no

such Entry made, in three-days!

Now leave...

Go-on...

"Coming-in at odd-times!"

Think real hard...

"Hey Ekaambaram, Tea!?"

It's too much confusion, for me!

Hey! Sleep now or you had it!

Oh, that hurts...

Please let me go, Sir...!

"that hurts, Sir..."

-That hurt' Sir... -"Sir!"

-Sir, I'd like some

information -What now...?

"That night in the

cell...on Saturday"

What' with him? He'

pissed himself, already!

Clean it up...

I'll wash it myself, Sir!

Kumarappan case, Sir!

What is it, Mister?

Regarding the 'Night-Rounds' eh?

Sir, need an information...

Hey, this is my Station.

Don't raise your voice?

It is you who's screaming.

Why'd I scream, Sir?

"Let's hear him out, Sir..."

Speak...

Sir, Mr. Kumarappan who was

inside the cell that night...

He was being transferred

to Sub-Jail the next-day!

Which Kumarappan?

There' no-one by that name...

"Sir..."

Sir...

-that night...

He was with me, in that Cell!

Sir, he was also

dressed in white!

-Was lamenting about his

daughter -Not that I know of...

Get-lost...

"Kannayiram..."

Why're you rubbing

his wrong-side?

Do not get caught in this...

Sir...

I've visited & checked

in the Sub-Jail too

...there is no, Kumarappan!

So... where did he go

from here, that night?

Please check & tell us, Sir!

He'd came-in

that night? Sure...?

Subbayya, was

On-duty, that night!

We don't have any

such registrations.

Anyways, why're you asking?

"In a Police Station near

Erode, I'd lodged a complaint"

Sir...

Sir, Mr. Kumarappan had come...

to complain about his missing

Daughter. You had, even-

...showed him a girl's-body,

that was recovered!

Sir, it was on the night of 19th...

That's right...

We found a dead-body

by the Railway-track!

But, that was a Male...

"A Male?"

Yup!

Even last week, someone else

enquired about the same body!

"But you're giving too much details &

that was an unidentified corpse, Son!

"Dance, Dance... You Dance!"

"Come on...

No-No, I can't dance..."

"Sorry Ma'am!"

Look-out. Sorry...

"Hey clear this

area-now! Clear-Up..."

Move aside, people...

Kindly listen...

Don't stand here...

Everybody, move!

All devotees,

please step back...

You did this too?

-Uh? Sir, I just got here...!

Hey...

-Hey, come on... -Sir!

Sir, why're you dragging me?

Sir... Kannayiram...!?

I haven't done anything, Sir!

"Then why were

you following him?"

"I followed him,

for a Case, Sir!"

You, get him inside &

lock him to the jeep...

"Oh my..."

How to do this, Bro...?

Start with placing your

head on the ground!

Next lift your

legs, straight-up!

& then tighten your stomach, fully!

Surely!

Start now. Lets see you do it!

I'm on it, Bro!

Hope you don't

have Hernia-problem!

Not at all, bro!

Fine then, get-started...

Hey, slowly, slowly!

Kannayiram...

"What's the benefit

of doing this, bro?"

How about "Bail"!

"Nowadays, people do anything only

if they get something in-return!"

"Kannayiram...?"

What're you doing!?

"The Inspector..."

"...declared that I can't solve a

thing Even if I stand on my head!"

"So... I'm simply testing!"

Hey...

...you're inside the Jail!

& that too, for a murder-case!

What else can I do?

What do you mean?

"You could've quoted what

Kumarappan said, yeah?

On that day...

I've followed Maran everywhere!

To all places,

...from a Car Mechanic-Shed

to Hospital, Bank & his House!

There is a high-chance for my face

being recorded in the Bank' CCTV!

The Police who purchased the

book on Kama-Sutra has seen me...

& Finally, even

before he fell dead...

I was following him closely

in the Temple-festival too!

How can I go to

the Police, now...

& say: "Oh no-no... I got

nothing to do with him, Sir"

"I don't know who this

Maaran is! I'm innocent, Sir"

...if I say something like

that would they spare me?

Moreover, you know

about this Inspector!

...only procedure known to his

block-head is feasting on Biriyani!

What' puzzling me is:

"Who'd have killed Maaran?"

"I'm probably the prime-suspect

in Maaran' murder-investigation!"

"If Maaran & Dileep

together murdered Divya..."

Call-up Dileep...!

I've been trying his

phone but its switched-off!

"That's it..."

That day, it looked like Maaran &

Dileep were having an argument...

So, Dileep must be

connected to Maaran' murder!

Huh?

Whatever it be... It is you,

who' stuck in this problem!

Murder-weapon has your finger-prints!

What...?

My finger-prints...?

In an attempt to

help a Stranger...

...you're strongly-locked

in the case!

"If Agent Kannayiram..."

"...takes up this case,"

"In the fear of

getting caught..."

"What if... they killed Maaran,"

"only to trap, Me?"

Stop thinking so

hard, Kannayiram!

To be trapped & stopped

You're not 'Sherlock Holmes'!

Sherlock Holmes, is fictional!

This Agent Kannayiram, is real!

Only now, this

case is heating-up!

I won't rest until

this is solved!

Alright, tell me...

What do I do now?

-Brother... -Number-

Brother...

"I've done it...!"

I did it, bro...

No. 1

All the places,

Maaran visited...

must be re-visited for enquiry!

No. 2

Must find-out about the Lousily-Lamenting

prisoner, Kumarappan, is?

No. 3

To find all this out I

must get out of here!

For that I need a bail...

And only you can get it for me!

I've already spoken

with a Lawyer...

Sir...

My Husband hasn't returned home

after last night's festival!

His phone is

'Not-reachable' too!

"Which area?"

"Annamedu Street"

"And his name?"

"Dileep!"

"He is Dileep!"

"Any problem between you two?"

He never used to

talk to me, properly...

But now, He isn't

coming home either!

"He has gone

missing, completely!"

"Does he consume Alcohol?"

Sure, Sir!

& I'd take a beating too...

Its okay, dear! Don't cry now...

Go on...

Ma'am...

"Dileep!" you say...?

Is he Maaran' friends?

"Hey Kannayiram"?

You're locked-up, already...

& you want to enquire, still?

You write, submit

& leave, Dear...

Sir, please check with her...

Some men get drunk

just to beat-up their wives!

"Got any photo?"

"Yup, I got it at home..."

Okay Sir, I'll get him!

"You've got interim-bail for 7 days!"

"I'll keep you informed!"

You must prove you are

innocent, within a week!

Understood?

If not you'll be

put back inside...

Your voluntary involvement in this case...

Tell him, Sir!

...is only going to land

you in troubles, I feel!

And I can't do

anything beyond this!

Only in the festival-crowd

from her video...

Maaran is clearly-seen

getting dragged by 4 guys!

"It is only with that as evidence

we managed to get your bail!"

Maaran was dragged

by 4 guys, eh?

Yup!

For the next 7 days, do

not interfere in anything...

"Just as Sir suggested,

try to save yourself..."

"Understand...?"

What' that...?

Want me to remove my shades?

Yup, give it...

"No..."

No-one touches my Shades!

"Those henchmen

are almost tailing me!"

"Damn!"

"I missed nabbing

those Culprits..."

You see that?

Who're these guys?

Athirai...

Earlier,

a similar hand-bag,

...was seen with

Maaran too, yeah?

I suspect that bag

holds some clues...

Just enquire about that bag!

I have some

office-work, I'll try!

Adjust the mirror, a bit!

Okay?

Uhm okay...!

What, Why're we stopping?

"One second"

Sir, Sir...

...why're you blocking?

Why're you straining

& shadowing me?

He is quite a, famous Director!

-Is it....? -Yup!

Welcome...

So.. what'll the

'Director' drink?

Just Alcohol...

And some curry for side-dish!

Good joke...

-Brother... -Yes...

Why were you following me?

I wasn't 'following'!

I was just scouting locations

for Mammootty & Manju Warrier!

"Why is he opening the drawer?"

"...maybe Money?"

What' with the Toy-gun?

I've seen massive

Tankers! This is a dummy...

Cinematic Guns...

But have you've seen this?

"Token Chundi!"

It' unused for 30 years!

(How old are you, then?)

Recently...

I had it oiled & ready!

"Would he know to shoot, even?"

...but you can't,

without a bullet!

I've another...

"Oops, I laughed too soon!"

Greetings bro...

I'm Maayavi...

I'm a popular

Detective, in my native...

In my dreams, at-least!

So... you don't know to

cook. What else do you know?

"Kung-Fu"

Karate... I'm

familiar with it, all!

If only you decide, I could

become a Detective, even!

-Is it? -Of corse...

I wished to join

as your Assistant...

...which is why I tried tailing

you without your knowledge!

So without you knowing...

I followed Maaran, to help you!

"So I sneaked into his

house when he wasn't around"

"But you went

away, with this girl!"

(Lets enter, auspiciously)

(Biscuit...)

("Oh god..")

("Hope I get something!")

("You hair is your beauty!")

("It is also your bane!")

"& handled a trouble too"!

Greetings, Madam...

Greetings...

How re you madam?

What do you want? Where

are you coming from?!

-I'm your Son, Ma... -My Son?!

That is how I feel, it is recommended

to eat Parle-G biscuits for tooth ache!

Want one?

Get going, Lady...

"I even went to the

Medical shop, he visited"

Bro...

The man who came

here with a shoulder bag...

What did he get?

"He got blasting's

from the Doctor..."

& who're you? You resemble an

Animated-monkey from Amazon forests?

Hey buddy, "Deluxe..."?

Didn't you go to Dubai,

to become a Male-Nurse?

You were so proud about poking

needles onto the Foreigners!?

Yup, I got bored

of all the poking....

The room they provided

was more like a coffin!

But I came back saying

my body belongs here!

So... when're you dying?

Hey... Just wait one day

I'll catch you by surprise!

So... what do you want?

You'll die in 3 days uh?

Head directly to the Graveyard

Why come to a Medical shop?

By the way, what're

you doing, buddy?

I'm part of an

undercover operation!

What? Your Under's are operated?

Careful. Breathe

in & Slowly out. Go!

Graveyard is close-by

Get there and lie-down!

By the way, what

operation buddy?

Buddy, that is a secret!

I'm going to work

for a Detective...

& so, to impress him...

I'm following the operation he

is into, without his knowledge

By the way, what

did he buy from you?

He only asked for

Glucose, buddy...

The Doc didn't know

& sent him away!

-That illiterate! -"Deluxe..."

"Where is the Ethanol?"

Who is that buddy? I can see

his bones even without an X-ray!

Keeps claiming

that He' a Doctor!

You go-on, I shall manage!!!

I have discovered

this much, for you Bro!

Stop it. I can understand...

Everyone in the village

suspects you for Maaran' murder!

& only now I can see

that you're innocent!

How's that?

Well, the Police've

clearly stated:

"He was hacked by a long-knife!"

And you're only carrying a

Pistol, How could you've done it?

"Brilliant!"

I'd dropped a 5 Rs.

coin inside the car...

Try, finding it...

Give me five minutes!

(Is this a Seat

or Shaving-slab?)

Woah! this is going to hurt!

Hey...

...you running-away

with the car' engine?

Wow... it even has an Engine?

No, I've only got

Chicken-bones in there!

Hello...

-"Athirai!" -Tell me, Sir

(A coin is very challenging

Lets ask for a clue...)

Excuse-me Bro...

Could you give me any clue...?

A clue!

Lost it around 08 p.m!

But its only 04:15, now!

Shouldn't we look for it

around the same time?

So... by 09 p.m you'd

become a great-Detective?

That gives you 4 hrs. yeah?

Yes bro!

"To have helped

him with the Bail..."

"was in hopes of gaining investigative-

content for our channel!"

"Keep that in mind, okay?"

"Yeah... of corse!"

"And, I'm on it,

yeah! For sure..."

"Whats going on, here?"

"Here-after he is my

Personal-Assistant!"

He has Karate, Kung-fu

& also Car-cleaning skills!

...knowing just that

much, is enough?

See for yourself...

He can cook, too!

Hey, what other

skills have you got?!

Bro...

Shall I take her in this car...

and drop her...?

She doesn't trust you, yet!

No-No, that's

okay, you carry on!

Bye...

"...forget about

forgetting-us, Athirai!"

Please move...

Sure, you continue...

Hey...

Enough with the

cleaning. Come...

Here...

No thanks Bro, I don't drink!

But you do clean, yeah?

Take...

Clean this up, Go!

Shall we start your Training?

Bro...?

Car...?

That'll be here, get your bike!

Why're you stopping, Bro?

-Get down... -Me?

That's no wig, Bro!

This is the house,

...you must watch, all-day!

The first task assigned to

you, is an important task!

"Once Dileep is caught,

this case is closed!"

"Dileep would surely come here!"

"As soon as you

see him, call me!"

Do not move from

here, to eat or pee!

"You must, watch

like a Watchman!"

Don't they have a Watchman?

Nope...

From today, you

are that Watchman!

For a Detective:

The Eyes must hear...

The Ears must see...

The Nose must taste...

The Tongue must smell!

All five-senses

must always be alert!

Bro, who is this Dileep?

Why would he leave me behind

& go for an investigation?

Bro, come tomorrow too...

I'll be right-here!

"Not here! Place one

on top of the other!"

"Hey! Can't you drive

without honking?!"

"Hello, Mr. Super-Singer!"

Please come here!

Tell me, Sir...

...know how big,

Coimbatore district, is?

Have you seen it, from outside?

Can't imagine how many

waited in queue for a glimpse!

Is your mouchi, giving

you all this pride?

By the way, what crime were you & Maaran

planning outside the loo, last week?

I was born to don this coat

& Maaran was murdered...

...and I'm- I mean,

You will get caught!

Sir, what're you saying?

"Maaran is dead, uh?"

Now look...

The mortuary-van,

that just left:

Tell me honestly, where

is it headed or else...

By all Detective-Crime-Mystery,

Clint-Eastwood, Section: 304/92

...you'll be taken into custody!

They'd oil a Bamboo cane

& slide-it, up your behind!

Oh no-no Sir,

let's not go that far!

Sir, that van was

headed for Karamadai!

Mr. Sivanadi looks

after those details!

But he' suspended, now...

I'm just covering-him,

past 4 days!

Its of no benefit

to me, absolutely!

That's it, Sir!

Anyway, how do you know Maaran?

Well, Maaran...

Maaran came to enquire about

the dead-bodies found in Sulur

& they'd also pile-up the abandoned-bodies

from around & bring them in!

He'd ask for their

post-mortem reports...

"Even when, Family is

around we act lethargic...."

"But the ones he checks about,

are all unclaimed bodies. So..."

"I guessed back-then, even..."

"that, it could

land us in, trouble!"

"& now you've come,

looking for him!"

"Tread carefully, Sir!"

Hello!

"Kannayiram, where are you?"

"...found Maaran' bag!"

"Return to the

caravan, right-away!"

Hey... its the same cover

which Dileep gave Maaran!

"Why is Maaran' bag full of

Corpse'-photos & details?"

"What are Dileep &

Maaran doing, actually?"

"All are from different cities!"

"Information about the dead-bodies

found near the railway-track!"

"Why do they need this?"

"...there must be some other story

behind all these dead bodies!"

These are unused condoms!

Are all photos & details

about the Murders!

"Brindha Motcham!"

"Brindha Motcham ...means?"

"I think, something important!"

Call this number

& get the address

& also details about Brindha!

"I'll share a number with you can

you please get the address for me?"

"Yeah, I need it immediately!"

"Now, the only source

we have is, Dileep!"

Only if we capture him"

"we can plan our next-move!"

Maaran & Brindha...

...are linked. But how?

Sauce please...

"Its over, Sis"

...only got, Curry!

-Here you go! -...over already?

Just get her a Coconut

and she'd chew on it, instead!

"Serve him too..."

...want some more?

-No-No... -You want?

that'll be nice...

"Call me if you need something, Sis!"

-"Nope! -Settle..."

There must be something-big,

...connecting these Two!

What do you think?

Lets try Chicken-Curry!

Master, Chicken-Curry!

"Agent Kannayiram,

Your true friend"

"Hey, get the bill!"

"How much can I do, singly?"

How much is it...?

Sir...

No need of any payment, Sir!

What do you mean?

"We don't collect

payment from Police, Sir!"

"Kid, I'm not a Police-man

but more I'm a Detective!"

"Don't you recognize

my 'Black-coat'?"

I'm Kannayiram!

Take a look...

Hey...

How could you use

my Kannayiram-Poster...

...for wrapping parcel'?

"I'd asked them to paste

it all over the village"

"& they dump it

all in a Hotel, uh?"

"Let them come

asking for payment!"

"Don't have to smile covering those

teeth You look cute, anyways!"

"Come on, tell me!"

Well... it was 2 guys

...who ate here,

holding the Posters!

When they finished,

they had no money...

But they're our, guys!

So, pay-up for

them too & leave...

Kannayiram...

Take a look...

You'd mentioned...

...about our source, Dileep!

Maaran's friend!

Dileep, whom we're looking for!?

Sir, please pay Rs. 80!

"It is him..."

How much?

How could he be dining, casually?

Exactly!

"That's Rs. 80!"

He can be caught only

under such circumstances!

We could never catch him, right!

Very true...

He' been starring

at you all this while

Even your Monster-appetite,

didn't distract him?

He's running without paying...

"Pass that blade,

we'll finish him!"

People are gathering, lets handle it later...

Fine, go!

Kannayiram...?

"Are you okay?"

Kannayiram!

"Where are you-"

I saw him, right-here...

Dileep was hit & was lying here...

Hey, don't touch!

"They ran him over &

cleared his body too!"

"What happened?"

"The vehicle too

was just here..."

"It was a lorry..."

"...just went ahead!"

"Just run him over!"

Who is it?

"Is Brindha...?"

Hold on...

Come dear, quick!

What is it. Wait...

Listen to him...

Who are you?

Is Brindha, here?

Brindha...?

No-one' here by that name...

We've been here for 4 months

We don't know who was here before us!

You could've said this, without disturbing her!

I was all sleepy, Sir...

Okay fine, adjust your attire!

Sir, just a minute...

Do you know...?

She was here, until 4 months

ago but they've moved-out

Any idea, where to?

That was...

Well...

...near Tiruppur, I heard!

Can you tell me

more about Brindha?

Nothing in particular...

...but are you closely-related?

Yes, so tell me please...

Wasn't sure whom

to share this with!

You can tell me...

While, they were vacating

Her Father...

...left 5 pants &

shirts, with me!

& the payment Rs. 150 is due!

If you could pay-up I

shall buy some meat with it

Somehow, manage

with what you got!

"Kannayiram, next

to Madukarai..."

An unidentified-body

has been found!

"A man complained about

his missing daughter..."

"I've called him to

the Spot as-well!"

"Sir, Sir...!"

"-You can't get closer!

Brindha..."

"Oh my lil' girl..."

"How could he,

thats his lil' girl?"

"Oh no... how did you

end up here, dear?"

Ask him not to touch the body...

Please stand...

Oh... this is unbearable...

When did you see

Brindha, last...?

Sir, the last time

you spoke with her-

Can we take the body, Sir?

Hey, mind the

head. Hold carefully...

"Oh Ms. Anna Marie..."

"It is because of people like you

that we are blessed with rains!"

"Not really, Sir!"

"Whole-country is dried-up..."

Are you in the right-mind, even?

You're roaming

with the 'Accused'?

In the eyes of the Law,

I'm only a Suspect, still!

...not an Accused!

Ms. Anna Marie...

Yes...

Need an information...

Where are they taking the body?

Why do you ask?

It'd be nightfall by the time

we complete the Post-mortem!

And I must stay & supervise...

But I just need some details...

Hey you... get the car, now!

That girl's death

was so unfair...

If only you'd performed your duty

properly she could've been saved!

Are you a Police, even?

Show me your I.d card...

Show me, your I.d card, Sir!

Kannayiram...

Show me your Id card, Sir...

Just come, now...

Hey, you check his

Id card & then come...

"You shouldn't be

talking like that, Son!"

"With great difficulty, I

took 2 landlords help"

"...to get you out!"

"If you lose your cool with him like

this, your bail could be cancelled"

"& get sent back inside!"

What now...?

Bro, asked me to check your I.d card...

What..?

How dare you...? Get lost...

Why're you fearing

someone like him?

I'm out on-bail &

even I won't fear him!

"Try & trace the Sulur dead-body'

fingerprints!" Please talk to him, Sir!

Watch this!

What's with the

pride in your walk?

Sir, try listening to

what he has to say!

So... you got it?

Oh I got it, alright!

"I go looking for the

ones who're killing..."

"& I get to see them,

only as dead bodies"

"But I couldn't see my

Mom, in that state, even!"

Before I got there my

Uncle had her sent away...

"What?" But why...?

Uncle would explain:

"My mom wished for it

& he had to see it done!"

They make-up

all kinds of stories!

Ask and he'd say it

is: Custom or Ritual!

I still can't believe

my Mom is no more...

...but I can still feel her

presence around me!

How could one sleep with

such thoughts running!?

Whenever "Mom

called to meet me..."

"My anger wouldn't allow me!"

Had I been with her,

whenever she called out...

"She might not be dead!"

Guess it's my

anger, that killed her!

"Its not your fault!"

"Don't think that way..."

"Everything will be alright..."

"I can understand

your feelings!"

I'm leaving to document,

Ms. Anna Marie....

"You can join..."

"We know that you cremate

the unidentified-bodies..."

...and also perform

the last-rites!

...could you tell

us, why you do it?!

Not just, 'Living' all-alone...

...dying all-alone

is dreadful, too!

The dead, find a kind of Peace!

And for me too...

Night or Day, doesn't matter...

Even the Policemen...

insist that I must come...

So, I wouldn't care

even if it is midnight!

With what I've got at hand,

I perform the rituals

that I'm aware of!

...and rest them

For me,

Not just when Living,

But even when Dying

No-one must die, all-alone too!

Consciously I'd never

abandon anyone...

"But those who die alone..."

"...don't find peace &

keep roaming around us!"

"Won't you come to

meet your Mother?"

Hey...

Maayaavi...?

Prepare some Toddy...

Whom are you

attacking, at this hour?

I'm in no mood

to be laughing...!

Pardon me, Bro... You have

your share of sorrow, too!

Here, hold the drink!

Down it till your neck!

"Ma..."

"Mother!"

"There was a Maid..."

"Janaki!"

Would she sing well, too!?

"She'd make great desserts!"

"& top it with

almonds & cashews"

"Prepare it with care and

serve it to the Landlord!"

"Come here..."

"Inside, Dessert

is getting ready..."

Dessert eh...?

No-wonder, you

are sent out, on time!

Start cleaning...

We can have it,

afterwards. Alright!

"Who's that, along

with the Kids?"

The maid, Sir!

She'd take care of

the Zamin now on"!

"Sit & watch, dear..."

"This is our Home,

they're all your brothers!"

"They won't have

a problem. Go on!"

What is happening, bro?

Hey, watch the movie quietly!

Kids are done with

the food Please come...

"The kids..."

"...must not feel

their Mother' absence"

"Should you even tell me that?"

"Shouldn't quarrel

with brothers, dear!"

They don't have their Mom, even...

Shouldn't we look out for them?

She even had him live

under the same roof!

When that boy shared his observation

after thinking it through...

"Its no big deal for the one

who stole it to find it too...!"

Say...

"Should one be qualified to

even listen to what we say?"

I don't think so, just the ears should do!

I was speaking the truth, right?

"After that night, nobody

asked me to stay back"

"...nor ask me to leave too!"

After a point, I decided I

don't need it & separated!

Don't feel for it now, bro!

In my home also, the rice

would have lots of dust!

& eat it, without

making any fuss!

Thanks a lot...

...you've made me

forget all my worries!

I'm very happy now!

Was my joke really funny?

No-No, I meant the comedy you just did!

With this same eyes?

Oh the same eyes, Okay

wait. I shall remove all jinx!

Does it hurt?

No-No, its comforting!

"Forgive me, dear!"

"At that time, my heart

couldn't accept her apology!"

"My Mother was

not, to my liking..."

I then accepted her being:

"...the way, He wanted her to be!"

"Say Manickam... is

the Son coming, even?"

"Even her Brother is confirming

this is what she wanted!"

"Pack her-up!"

Why're you waiting, still...?

We've got places to be!

I was told, her Son would join...

Can't wait all day!

"Correct!"

No-one knows where the Landlord

vanished or what happened to him!

Not sure if He is

dead or alive, even?

Did the boy wait till the

Landlord came over, Bro?

Can't you understand

who that boy, was?

Sounds important,

let me get closer...

Who is it, Bro?

Stop brushing your

bottom... It may just tear!

...that is why I've

placed a sack right-here!

A sack! I'm sure you

have a sack for everything!

That boy also had

a working-assistant!

Can you guess who

that was, at-least?

What a mad-fellow!

Can you guess

why I like you a lot?

Why Bro...?

You're very loyal...

"They stood around her

dead-body & were cursing..."

"They must've been building

it up, for all these days!"

"And so, I had her sent

away, as she wished!"

"Divya..."

"Divya..."

"...heard she moved

near Tiruppur!"

"Brindha..."

"No-one came

looking for that girl!"

"And it was I who buried her!"

"After the post-mortem was complete

He never showed-up for her body..."

"The address he'd

submitted was fake too!"

It didn't strike me, then...

but I understand, now...

Brindha isn't dead, yet!

-"not dead?" -"Nope!"

But, we did see

Brindha' dead-body...

Her Father too was

sobbing, so hard!

That's right...

"Sobbed severely..."

Even before looking at her body

he was crying & running to it...

No complaint was filed for the the

bodies around the railway-tracks

Except for Bindha'...

So they'd set-up a

random dead-body...

& had us convinced...

& diverted us!

Check if you can find her address

with this phone number, Sir!

Have instructed, already...

Bro... why did you ask for photos of

the dead to be stuck it on the wall?

Just to frame them all & to

perform the 16th day ritual!

Do what you're told, quickly!

"Okay..."

Here?

Can't you attend the class on correct-time?

I do...

...the dead-body I'd seen

in Sulur, was 'unidentified'

The one from Erode

was, unidentified too!

On the 18th, Maaran must have also

gone to Erode for the same reason too!

So, putting it all together...

In the last Four months,

Total number of 'unidentified'

dead-bodies found in our state is:

Fifty-Four!

And the photos of

Thirty-four, are in here...

"All the dead-bodies

in this paper-clipping"

"...were found in the

surroundings of a railway-track"

He'd come & check on

the Goods-Trains timings!

On that day, he'd

lost his purse too...

So he was looking for his lost wallet!

Yes Sir...

So... what exactly

are you doing?

I apply grease in

certain areas, Sir!

& shall also tighten

these bolts & nuts!

-So the Southern Railways is running

because of this lil' bucket!?

-Fine, you continue applying!

...of which, Ten

were Train accidents

Three were Murder-cases,

"...remaining

Twenty-one bodies were:"

"Natural-Death!"

So all these

dead-bodies were in,

"Ettimadai..."

-"...to:" -"Bro, use a hyphen!"

Thanks, pal...

You're well-trained, already!

"...Dharmapuri"

"...found in these Track-lines!"

Observe there...

...all these dead-bodies were

found at specific intervals, too!

Hence, these

Twenty-one dead-bodies,

...must somehow be connected!

How're you this confident,

they're connected?

Post-mortem reports

of all these dead-bodies

Claim they're: Natural-Deaths!

Why should bodies with 'Natural-Death'

be found, by the railway-track?

"This cannot be a coincidence!"

It must all be a single-case!

How do you claim they're all

a single-case, Kannayiram?

What if it is a Coincidence?

"No... Athirai"

"You know, Maaran..."

We were both digging

into his bag, yeah?!

Remember, what he had...?

He too collected details

of these bodies, right!

He must've done his

research with that in hand!

...which is why they

must've killed him!

"Assuming that it was me,

helping Maaran with this case"

They'd sent this

'Kumarappan' character,

...& had me follow, Maaran

& had me caught in confusion...

As Dileep was aware of

this case they killed him too!

"There are no roads in the railway routes

where these dead-bodies were found!"

So, definitely they could not have dropped

the bodies from some other channel!

"So, only from a moving train, these

bodies could've been thrown outside"

But how is that possible, Bro?

"They won't let one

take a piss, even!"

"& you're talking about

throwing-away corpses!"

Sure it can. What if it is not a

passenger train...but a Goods train?

Yes, it is absolutely possible!

No, it can't be done, even then!

Definitely it can't be

thrown in the day time!

It'd become a Public-issue!

So, it must've been

thrown in the Nights!

How exactly do you

open these doors?

Sir, but who're you, Sir?

I'm Pvt. Detective Kannayiram!

I'm just asking

for my knowledge!

So, through any one of the

Good-Train that passes in the nights

...they must've disposed

every dead-body!

Can this be opened

when the train is running?

I shall buy you some

Alcohol Please tell me!

The goods-train in this route,

Starts from Palakkad,

late in the night...

Bodies must've been

loaded in this train, because:

From Paalakaad to

Vaalayaar, is inside Kerala...

No bodies with

'Natural-death' were found

Crossing the State border,

they've thrown bodies inside Tamil

Nadu & also in different districts,

...which have

different jurisdictions!

So... getting caught

with the Police,

...is highly unlikely!

nor would anyone come to claim.

None were claimed!

Sir, have you ever noticed a

dead-body by the railway track?

Oh yes, it would

be lying here & there

...we would simply ignore!

"Good Citizen"!

They've planned carefully!

Say, are you following...?

...sort of!

The Police too wouldn't

mind beyond their Station-limit!

"Guessing I would

deduce it all,"

...they'd also tried killing me!

Somehow, I'd mistaken this

was the work of that Inspector!

But like I had presumed,

...this isn't any

Children' game!

There must be a

big-gang behind all this!

Those Master-minds,

...have planned well,

to trap me in this case

But no...

Intending to trap me, they've

handed a much bigger-case to me!

...the kind of case I

was looking for, all along!

Okay, Bro...

Mr. Sub-Inspector,

Please...

Athira...

"Come on!"

"Case started..."

...shouldn't we inform

the Police department?

But why? Aren't you

next to a Police, already?

"Shaming him with 'mufti', eh?"

Athirai...

This case has come to me!

I shall solve this, myself...

"Listen..."

You're not 'Sherlock

Holmes' from London...

You are Kannayiram,

...from Irumbathoor!

"Keep that in mind, okay?

Shame-Shame..."

Listen up,

'Spoken-English-Class'

...there' no need

to be Showing-off!

We don't know of any Sherlock!

Your house is here, get-going

Galileo claimed:

'Our world is a sphere'

...and he was pelted to death!

But the same spherical world,

...is celebrating him today!

...that was another-Level, Bro!

How do you come-up

with such-stuff, Bro?

That too, with all those mosquito

bites inside that caravan!

Sir, where is the

nearest Railway-Station?

Valaiyaar is in 2kms!

Then, that is where we must go!

Hello Sir...

Sir, weekly once

in the night time

...from Palakkad to Chennai a

goods train is scheduled. Yeah?

We need an information,

about this train!

Everyday night 2 o clock.

"From Palakkad" to Chennai, a

Goods Train' is scheduled, yeah?"

Yes...

It reaches by early morning

02:00 hrs & leave by 02:45!

Tonight as well?

It doesn't stop in the platform here, but

stops for the one before the station in Track2.

But why, Sir?

Sir, between 02:00 to 02:45a.m, 4Express

trains would cross in this station!

"It is at that time when the signal turns red for

the Goods trains, so these trains could pass!"

Two to Two fourty-five!

That's when they're

loading the dead bodies!

"Dead body?"

"Thank You, Sir!"

Thanks a lot, man!

What's he saying?

"So what I'm saying is..."

I don't think I introduced

myself, I'll be back!

Hi Sir, I'm private

Detective Kannayiram!

Inspection, Deduction, Murder, Theft,

All-ready, Sir! 24 hours service, Sir!

"9840839004! Thank You, Sir!"

"Here' our next song

to cheer you up!"

"The Crime group & Hospital must be connected!"

Why did you interrupt me!?

"...must contact Brindha, somehow..."

This is Maaran' voice!

Bro... I had followed Maaran,

yeah? I told you about it, too!

When you were interviewing me!

I did tell you back then too...

According to my intuition, I felt what I needed

won't be needed by Maaran. So I kept it safe!

Rewind it...

Now we must go to Maaran' house again?

Rewind the cassette!

Uhm... Bro?!

I was just kidding, Bro...

Bro, Why're you getting-

Has it stopped, for real?

Bro... help!

You're yapping all-night...

Can't you open a door, even?

Down...

Must be from pre-independence

times Don't ask me?

Get here...

I'd asked you to fill

the radiator. Did you?

Of corse I did. Fully...

How come the car has stopped?

...not for your Car.

Bro I filled for my bike!

Does your Bike have a radiator!?

"Okay, go now & get some water!"

"& some food, as well!"

You got any money on you?

But why?

We have a Policeman

with us Who'd dare to ask!

-You relax, Bro. Sir,

please come -Hey...

In all my service, I've never taken a bribe!

How could you, with those shivering-hands?"

Hey, hey... lets go...

-Come... Come now... -Stop!

The van is going to Karamadai...

-Its over, yeah? -Yup!

"When is the next drop?"

-"Got two more

days, for that -Fine..."

"Somehow you've

turned up, just now!"

But Sir, I saw them right here!

You can't be serious...?

The bodies were lying, right-here!

I fell here, from up there!

The bodies were

all piled-up here!

What you're saying & what

we find here is just not...

It was right here...

Just in here...

What the-

I, I saw the dead-bodies

Someone must've come in...Check

this Sir, a burning cigarette!

How could it've

come here, otherwise?

Someone must've

just lit this, Sir!

And they've moved

the bodies, just now...

-If I'm wrong, then how

did this--Kannayiram...?

You brought us

saying it was 'urgent'

Now we're here & you claim:

"dead-bodies being piled-up!"

...but there is

no real-evidence!

What's happening to you...?

You were always

the 'Alert-One!'...

Evidence!

Let me secure this...

He might blast me too!

But, I must share my discovery!

Bro, check it out...

Someone' just taken a piss...

It is quite-warm too...

Should I take a sample?

Go, get the car...

The Station Master confirmed that

the train runs only on Fridays!

Start the car, we'll go to

Valayaru & capture them all!

(Let me just get-in quickly...)

How did you race me to it, Bro?

I came to enquire!

There' a stage-play near-by

Shall we check it out!?

Not a chance!

It' supposed to be, superb!

Yup. I've enquired already...

It is great, it seems...

My eyes are burning from lack

of sleep, already. Just come!

"Today... we'll witness

the life of a Honest-King!"

"Which God

features in that story?"

"Viswamitrar!"

His act of mischief,

"& the balancing-act

of King Harichandra..."

"That is what we're

here to witness!"

A lie?

Who dares to lie,

under my rule...?

This very instant,

he must be slayed!

Drag him to this dais,

So I make him regret his action!

"Where is he?!"

Has he gone underground?

I'd never hide...

Nor can anyone hide, from me!

I'm the one with...,

"a Thousand views!"

"Who're you, now?"

Who are you?

I'm an innocent-citizen!

Stop yapping...

I'm the innocent-lad who believed

in a cleverly-constructed lie...

"Falling for his fake-cries

about losing his Daughter!"

And about, "...roaming

the streets for her!"

I'm a respected Stage-Star,

...and you're ill-treating me!

No, No, please don't!

You won't open-up, otherwise...

Oh no... I'll tell!

I'm a Duplicate, Sir...

But that's original.

Speak the truth!

Who watches a

Stage-play, nowadays?

Tell me...

So... to make a quick-buck

I became a ward-boy,

in a Hospital!

Roll fast, before

he passes-away!

I'd drink whenever

I was stressed

Though I worked as a Ward-boy,

I didn't like that role! Suddenly

one fine-day, I got a call

I was penniless at that time...

We're called because they like

our work at the Hospital,mind you!

As I wasn't doing what I loved,

I decided to play whatever-part

& didn't think of anything!

The location was

almost like a go-down!

I was accompanied

by a couple of friends!

And on their behalf,

2 more had come!

- Go-on... - Stop-pushing!

Hurry-up!

We never imagined, they'd

hand-over that many corpses!

All those bodies were

covered in White-cloth!

Go-Go-Go...

Load it up & get-on, fast!

Let's go

You just a Driver or

do you handle more?

I'm only a Driver, Sir

Jeweler Narayanan

who pelts every Stray,

"and Kothandam,

a fan of mine..."

"with whom I

went-along, jollily!"

"On a rock-road to

the mountain-top"

"We found an abandoned-area..."

"We piled all the bodies

& burned them upl"

Wait, what? you burnt them all?

-Do you take Alcohol? -No-no!

Cigarettes?

Nothing?

"Nope..."

Bless you with Health & Wealth!

"Our vehicle would be

stocked with corpses!"

& as we kept burning them

our pockets were filling-up!

In the smell of fresh-notes we didn't

notice the stench of dead-bodies

Bro, someone's coming!

"For the few days I

had some money,"

"I drank & partied-hard!"

"Who were the deceased?"

"Who's paying to cremate them?"

I knew nothing!

"I used to be so drunk!"

"Like a King!"

But after 2 weeks...

...they called, again!

This time, it was

to a different-spot!

Hey, get-up... its getting late!

"Come-on... Come!"

We loaded the bodies from

the go-down to our vehicle!

"Push..."

But this time, we

didn't burn them!

What then?

"We halted next

to Walayar Station!"

"And onto another vehicle..."

"...we loaded the bodies!"

"& we complied!"

"There were 4 fresh

faces from their side!"

"They kept shifting the

go-down, frequently!"

"Only then we learnt..."

"....they weren't

fearing the Police"

"But someone else!"

"Soon, it became a practice!"

"Where did the bodies come from?

Come on. Speak up!

I don't know...

I swear!

How dare you

call it a 'Practice!'

I swear, I don't know!

Even when I used to

work at the Hospital...

From the Mortuary...

I'd be asked to exchange

unclaimed-bodies!

"And I did, without

any questions!"

But these people...

Were killing and

getting the bodies?

"Or extracting organs from

these bodies? I knew nothing!"

"In the meantime..."

"They spoke of you to me,"

and asked me to lie to you!

Fearing them, I did!

"I stole a girl's photo from

the Hospital admissions"

"Posing as an innocent Father,"

"I entered the same-cell!"

Only then I knew...

You were the one, they feared!

As things went on,

One-day they phoned me...

& informed they don't

need me anymore!

'But why?' I asked...

"You were late for

a couple of days!"

"You lack punctuality!"

they explained

"Where can I buy

it from?" I asked

"They cursed & hung-up!"

Do you have their phone number?

Nope...

It was a different

number, each time!

Fearing them...

I stopped carrying a phone

Bro!

Bro...

We've got our clue. Lets move...

Going by his words...

Bodies must've come

from the deceased' home!

Still, they'd only send it to a

graveyard! Why give it to someone-else?

"Tell me, Son!"

Why aren't you

picking-up my call, Uncle?

"I was just having

a sound-sleep..."

You had sent Mom's body to Kasi

& handed over the ashes too!

For some rites or rituals...

Could you please repeat!

Your Mother...

...wanted to be set

in holy-grounds, right?

"As you hadn't

turned up on-time..."

Whom did you give her away to?

Come, Come... make it fast!

Come on, should

u be called singly?

What to do?

He' quite-aged, anyway...

But you're quite

blessed, Old-man!

You were lying here

in your own piss...

But after dying, you're

happily heading to the Heavens!

He'd make it to the

Heavens, right...?

Of corse!

As you have spent

all this money...

To take this body,

all the way to Kasi...

Get hold of a local-priest,

Complete all the rituals

& then burn this body...

Only when we handover his

ashes he'd make it to Heavens!

What is it?

"Bro, Tea...?"

Tea, Buttermilk...

To hold him back you'd

bribe with Biriyani, even!

Is this even an age to die?

Sir...

He lived like a King!

Damn! Let go...

When he was alive, did

you give him a Coffee, even?

Why're you shedding tears now?

"He can rest in peace

in our garden, Sir!"

What' that...?

It is a service-centre

for the dead!

Understand?

Even when you die, your

body must come to us!

Don't forget...

Madam, why are

you crying, still?

At your age, you'd have

seen enough deaths!

Wait on a lil' longer, Son

-Till his Unc-

-What... "His Uncle?"

Even his Grandson

would be a Grandpa now...

Granny...

Had he reached before

this death, He'd be: Uncle

To reach after, makes

him, as good as dead!

Had he been treated on-time He'd

have attended that Uncle' funeral!

But, look now...?

Fine, take a seat

However much you weep

or cry He isn't coming back

Instead of paying

them to lament for him

You could help him

attain Moksha, in Kasi!

Now look...

Do not suppress your feelings...

You haven't done anything

for him when he was alive...

Aleast, allow us to fulfill

his wishes when he is dead!

Understand?

These have to be done

within a specific time!

Is that Uncle more

important than his Moksha?

Only in death, he'

found his peace

And you found yours too!

Why...

Even for me, in

doing this service!

Hey, lift this body...

You lazy-cow, come fast!

You mustn't wait for

anyone to be reaching...

"Body'd start to decay!"

Sir..

Oh benevolent-being, delivering

the deceased at Heaven' door

We believe in you,

please take him & leave...

You must believe.

To Live is to Believe!

In the next village,

Landlord's house...

A lady had passed-away...

Even they trusted &

gave her body to us!

What is troubling you people?

Would regal families

make hasty decisions?

You know nothing, about them?

A vehicle from Karunai

Charitable Trust came...

"Saying that all rituals & formalities

were done they gave her ashes too!"

Here...

This Ash...

...was given by

a priest in Kasi!

Store it safely under the bed...

Understood!

"So, evil-spirits &

misfortunes, keep-away!"

Because someone asked,

you gave Mom away?

It was wrong, to even let

them leave before I reached!

& someone comes

back with her ashes and...

Your 'Love' is the Poison!

So you must...

Take the ash from that,

& apply it for 45 days!

Understand?

Shall I serve the rest of it?

Only then, a child-less home

would soon bear a new-life!

Understand?

Alright...?

"Not just when Living,"

"But even when Dying,

no-one must die alone!"

"Consciously, I'd

never abandon anyone!"

"Won't you come &

visit your Mother, son?"

How are you, Madam...?

What is it at this hour, Son?

Forgive me,

Its about my Mother...

What' happened, Son?

Her name is, Janaki...

She' quite fair-skinned!

& very beautiful!

Why do you sound like that?

All bodies that I

cremate were Orphaned...

But she has you, right? Her Son!

Collecting a body in the pretext

of: Cremating it in Kasi,

"they're being discarded

randomly, Ma'am!"

"Who'd do that?"

"What is this you're saying?"

"It's true, Ma'am!"

"Mommy..."

"Ma..."

"They claim, cremating..."

"...and also randomly

disposing, elsewhere!"

"& wears glittering-earrings!"

"Not sure of whom

to check with..."

"Its been Two-months

since her demise!"

"Two months...?"

"...that was her final-wish!"

"Please try recollecting..."

"I won't forget the faces

of those I send-away, Son!"

"Ma... where are you...?"

Who're you...?

The one in this photo, is she here?

Show me!

Please, for my sake...

Please wait outside, Hold-on!

"Its been... around 2 months!"

"Why're you troubling, Sir?"

"We don't retain the

bodies beyond 2 months"

Keep moving...

"Just get going, now!"

Pass the photo, Son...

Hey, stop him...

Step aside, Sir! Come on...

Just a moment...

Son...

I have seen this lady, Son!

Next to the Perundurai

railway track!

I'd removed her

earrings & kept them safe!

But I didn't have

the heart to sell it...

It made me feel very guilty!

Now that you are here,

her son You may keep it!

Careful...

"Hello Ma'am, good-morning"!

I'm from an Insurance Agency...

Leave!

Would you like any

policy? Ma'am...!

"Brindha..."

I'm from a small

village, near Sulur...

One-day, suddenly...

I was told, my Mother had died

& I went...

But I couldn't see her

As a Son,

I hadn't done, a thing for her

What happened to me

shouldn't happen to anyone!

Please...

'"Moksham' is an N.G.O."

& I worked as the

Office Co-ordinator, Sir

Collecting bodies of the dead,

for Cremation in

holy-Kasi, was the service

I liked what I was

doing in-there!

One-day, Mr. Maaran

came looking for me

"& enquired about the

N.G.O.'s activities..."

And mentioned about

some crime going-on!

"Only then, I understood..."

"People send bodies to 'Kasi'

believing it'd wash-away their sins!"

"But..."

"...in the name

of a 'free' service!"

"Using their strong-beliefs..."

"they were collecting dead-bodies

& were doing something to them!"

"When I passed details

of the dead, to Maaran"

"...they came & warned me!"

"My family was

terrified too, Sir!"

"We then, moved-away

from there!"

But, Maaran & Dileep

still tried reaching me

"I avoided them, Sir"

"Maaran must've tried

meeting you regarding this"

"Only someone from the

Medical-field must be behind this!"

"I'll try gathering

more information, Sir!"

"KANNAYIRAM" Your true friend!

"Even when I used to

work at the Hospital..."

"From the Mortuary..."

"I'd be asked to burn

the unclaimed-bodies!"

"Using their strong-beliefs..."

"They were collecting the dead-bodies

& doing something to them!"

"Only someone from the

Medical-field must be behind this!"

"Those are medicines used by the

Forensics & we don't stock them up!"

"But only yesterday, stocks got delivered!?

Shut up, you!"

"Hello..."

Who is this?

"Kannayiram Sir, its me Brindha..."

Tell me, dear...

What's the matter...

Where?

"You've left behind a single child

in deep sorrow, Maragadham..."

"Hey Manickam, why

isn't her son here, still?"

"Is he coming or no...?"

"Her Brother is confirming

this is what she wanted!"

"Pack her-up,

immediately from here!"

"Lets wait a lil' longer..."

"Let her Son reach!"

"He even ran-away, only after

learning of what she'd done!"

"Why would he come back?"

"Has Mommy done

something, you don't approve?"

"Ma..."

Ma...?

Ma...

Ma!

Ma, forgive me...

It is I, who failed

to understand you...

Ma...

Ma...

Ma... Ma... Ma...

"You uncut-diamond..."

"Uncut-diamond,

Uncut-diamond..."

"My beautiful treasure!"

"The leaves are all dried-up!"

"My Virtuous woman the

green leaves have dried-up!"

"Mom, who maintains

me is missing..."

"Here I'm, yearning for you,"

"Like a child,

longing for love,"

Sir, what you're

doing is a great favor!

Oh Mother, please... calm down!

"Please rise, we're

your family too! "

"We'll ensure she is

dropped at Heavens doorstep!"

"You don't worry

about any of it"!

"You must stay strong..."

"We'll make a move...?"

"After losing a liaison!"

"Arriving at answers,

I shall settle-scores!"

"Ready get-down!"

"With a Detectiveʼ eyes"

"& my Radar-sketch,"

In eighteen districts,

"You may enquire about me!"

"Hello..."

Finger-prints from

the dead-body in Sulur,

...is matching with

a Murder in Chennai!

"Is it?"

Yup

"Doctor, regarding

the murder in Chennai"

"How long has it been,

since the murder?"

"Must be a week, Sir..."

Dr. we found a body in Sulur, right?

Yeah...

How long has it been

since its passing?

"...must be Ten-days old!"

How could someone

who died 10 days ago,

kill another, after a week?

"Exactly?"

"How is that even possible?"

I shall find that out!

Was the body,

missing any organs?

Oh no! No organs were

missing. I'm sure of that

Whatever organ is

taken from a dead-body,

"It'd be noticed during

the post-mortem"

"But they are doing something,"

"...that goes

unnoticed. But what?"

They're fooling so

many & recovering bodies

"Breaking all those

Families' sentiments"

"Why commit such an

organized religious crime?"

Could they be

collecting: Finger-prints?

"Remove all identifications from the

body & bring the chemicals-box..."

But if they only need Finger-prints couldn't

it be collected from any dead-body...

Why run this elaborate-scheme?

When a person dies,

...the Oxygen-level drops

"Moreover..."

"Blood-circulation stops too"

"So, it must be collected

immediately after death"

"But to do that, a

Lab-setup is mandatory!"

"and..."

"...some chemical

processes must be done too!"

"I think, that Lab must

be inside this Van!"

"This is why they're in a hurry to

collect the dead-bodies from their homes

"Hey Dilli..."

Yes...

Why is the truck for Kasi, still here?

"Hey, hold the arm tightly..."

Press it... -Hey...

After injecting a dead-body,

...would it rise &

dance in Kathakali?

Are you out of your mind?

Oh my god!

Why is he applying ink to his finger?

Hey...

So... you're planning to rob his

fortune with forged documents, uh?

I won't let that happen!

You, get down here!

What are you doing

to the dead-body?

Hey Dilli... Get him out!

"So... with the

murder, in Chennai..."

They'd have started the investigation

with these finger-prints!

However much they investigate...

...they would

never nab the Killer!

And even if they do,

Soon they'd know the

Killer' is already dead. So...

& the case would be closed

since the Killer isn't alive!

There' a massive

forgery-scam behind this!

Is it?

You dare to embarrass, Me?

Now you must pay my money...

"...payment is given to

your Village-Chief. Now go!

Why give it to him?

He takes 6 months to

return, a borrowed-knife, even

If I don't get my money...

I'll make a dead-body of you all,

& take you to Kasi, myself...

Why did you stab me?

Are they doing this just

for murder-crimes...?

Using these finger-prints...

A fake-passport, fake-Visa...

Why even their identification

can be changed...

Create a fresh database

& sell it to Criminals!

Terrorists can use these

finger-prints & attack!

During Elections, they could create a

non-existing person to cast fake-votes too!

And a lot more...!

They can do so much more...

"I'll inform as you

cross the border!"

Do not let-go...

...be ready!

Hey, hold it from under & lift!

Hey... come on, make it fast!

Signal' changed. Quickly now...

Lift-up, now...

What are they doing?!

How could they do such things?

"Hey...Quick. Quick.

Come-on up, guys!"

"Oh my... the train' started!"

"...as long as we're alive,"

"...we mustn't let

anyone die alone!"

'A final wish...'

"Please ensure he

reaches the holy-ground"

"Won't you come to

meet your Mother, Son?"

"Ma..."

"Mother..."

"Ma!"

"Mother..."

"I'm suspecting

that Medical shop!"

"Why, even Maaran had

been there to enquiry!"

"Definitely, the fingerprint removing

chemical must be in that Medical-Shop!"

"If it is found

there,Case-closed!"

Hey, careful...

Higher...

Hey, I think we've

crossed the border!

"Hey, the signal' getting

close! Get ready..."

Hey...

"You dropped it, so close..."

"Swing it farther!"

"Its okay, bro. It'

slid into the bushes

"The Spot is here!"

Steady...!

Swing it far...

All of you, hold still!

Hey, who is that?

Guys, get-up!

"How did he get here?"

"He' got a gun..."

"Visalakshi Medicals"

Kannayiram has seen the

body by the Sulur Railway track!

He'll surely start enquiring!

Plan something for him...

But Sir... shall I finish him?

No-No...

We've planned to kill

his Uncle anyways, yeah?

Let us put that blame on him!

Once he is locked-up, He

can't come out for10 years!

& we'll not have

any trouble from him!

Forget about that...

How many bodies came, last week?

Seventeen, Sir!

Only Seventeen? What

kind of lousy work is this?

At this rate, we'll have to

shut down the business!

& send your

fingerprints & mine...

Aren't you just getting

the fingerprints?

What are you using?

Its a solution!

Hey what is the work you do?

My work Sir, is to check the fingerprints!

Have you seen the

quality of those fingerprints?

-Check this... -I did, Sir!

Now look,

I give you just two days!

In that time, I need 50 bodies!

From which I need

50 legible fingerprints!

-Understand? -"Sure sir!"

"Just go, Convince

the families!"

Go on...

Stop looking!

"Sulochana!"

Aged 38!

...your wife, right?

Come!

They brought her in for a

serious hernia operation!

It was I, who treated her!

The surgical blade...

needs to only be

twisted-lightly...

& that'd be the

end of her story!

But I did no such thing!

I have only saved every patient

who comes to me trustingly, Sir!

Pain is only for

those who're alive, Sir!

Corpses don't have any pain!

Then why did you kill Maaran & Dileep?

Bad Luck!

"Collateral Damage"!

"What to do?"

"After cheating,

so many people,"

"...bodies have been collected,"

"breaking all of their

family sentiments,"

Why did you do such an

Organized-Religious crime?

Good question!

Why did-

You go on!

You're asking, 'Why

did I betray people?'

People did trust...

They have many

similar beliefs...

& because of such

beliefs, many of them

...are cheating them, still!

They're not caught, yet!

But I'm caught!

That's the difference!

If all you wanted

were the fingerprints,

...you could've taken it from

any dead body! Why do thismuch?

For the prints to be usable,

bodies need to be fresh!

People from around believe, going

to Kasi after dying is a blessing!

What would you do in that case?

Think about it!?

We'd take the bodies from here!

"Simple!"

So, did you do all this

just for murder-crimes or...

"...or is there anything else?"

Sending just the

finger-prints is upto me!

They themselves,

commit their crimes!

What they do with the prints, send it

abroad or to Mars is not of my concern!

"It all stems from my

childhood trauma."

You'll turn sixty

when you go to Jail?!

The Local Police

couldn't do much!

Sir, he'd not stop giving

explanations. Take him away...

-Why're you standing

still? Move it...

Get him out!

Come...

Sir-Sir, just one question!

Where are you all

moving. Come here!

Please tell us, Sir...

As per Agent

Kannayiram' findings,

Dead bodies taken

from the railway tracks,

...won't remain with Police for more

than 3 days. They'll be disposed...

As per that loop-hole,

...they've done

this brilliantly!

After solving this case, where

is Agent Kannayiram, now?

My Son!
