'COIMBATORE'

Good morning, madam.

I've told you a million times to ask before entering my room.

Sorry, madam. It's urgent.

What is it?

MD has asked me to cancel all his appointments today.

He isn't coming in today.

Last week, you said work was too tight

so we didn't celebrate our anniversary.

But now, you cancelled everything...

to drive to Ooty, just because your daughter asked.

Why the sudden change?

Anu and you matter more to me than work.

Really?

Yes, really.

Daddy, balloon!

Here you go.

- [sings a Thai song] - One balloon, please.

- Thank you, Daddy. - I've paid.

Let's go.

I'm going to show Mom my balloon!

Yes, you can! Get in.

- Even if she just wishes... - How is it, Mummy?

I've been pestering you to take me to the guest house.

I wonder if you even remember.

I haven't forgotten, Archana. I remember.

There's an investor's meeting next month.

We can go then for a couple of days.

You're so selfish.

HEY!

- Anu... - Archana!

Anu... Are you okay?

I'm okay, Daddy.

Thank God!

I'm going to... Idiot.

Showing off 'cause there's a girl with you?!

Look what you did to my car!

- You rascal! - Come on!

You better pay for the damage.

I won't. Do what you can.

It wasn't my fault.

You were the one who hit me.

What do you mean?

Driving an Audi makes you a big deal, huh?

Hey! Watch your words.

Don't you dare point fingers. You better pay up for the damage.

I won't.

It's your fault.

Do what you can.

You think I'll let you go easily?

- How dare you touch me? - Hello!

Please be patient.

Is this really necessary?

Listen to me, Ashok. Let's just pay and go.

He acted like a fool.

But why stoop to his level, Ashok?

I let it go just for Anu. Otherwise, he wouldn't be standing.

Is she asleep?

Stop the car, Ashok!

What happened?

Anu!

'Do you know what this society has taught us?'

'Trust none.'

'Deceive everyone.'

'No matter what, never help anyone.'

'Stay selfish.'

'Whatever happens, don't go to the police.'

'Tempt others to sin.'

'Betray, murder, steal,'

'This society teaches us everything,'

'but doesn't take the blame.'

'A FEW DAYS AGO'

I betrayed you, boss. I should've known better.

Forgive me. Please, let me go.

I'm begging you!

I won't repeat this. Forgive me--

'He fired like he was playing PUBG!'

Hello?

Yes.

Rajan wants a parcel.

It's urgent.

Sure doesn't seem like it.

Which vehicle do we have for delivery?

Mani is on his way.

Hey, Mani!

Where's the driver?

Why are you driving?

He's gone to Puttur to see the doctor, boss.

As if our town has no one to fix a broken bone?

That's the hospital your salary gets him.

Not Apollo.

Why not a government hospital?

Tell him to go there!

- Who is she? - Kanakavalli. But everyone calls her Kanaka.

Found her at the bar, drinking.

Felt bad, brought her. Give her work.

Drop her back home.

I'll give her something to do.

I know what you're planning to give her at home.

Just give her work here.

Sweety, what can you do?

I'll take care of what you say, and what you won't.

Idiot!

He won't pay you for following orders,

and you're doing extra?

Get going.

Bring me a broom, Mani.

Kanaka...

Wait for me.

Let's have a beer together.

Deliver this parcel to Rajan.

I'll close details over a call with them.

- Okay, boss. - Careful!

Isn't Rekha here?

She's inside.

- Call her, please. - Wait here.

Please, wait. She'll be here.

Oh!

Why are you crying?

Is there a problem?

Come on.

Tell me, Rekha.

Two lines?

Who's pregnant?

After all that happened, you still have doubts?

Why are you getting emotional?

We'll figure this out.

Mani...

We are not married.

We have no stable income.

How do you think we'll raise this baby?

Rekha is right, Mani.

If you have a baby now, who do you think will suffer?

The parents, of course.

Isn't that the duty of the parents?

They had no money, so our parents abandoned us.

Let's not repeat that with this baby, Mani.

Don't keep saying the same thing, Rekha.

It's irritating!

Take a step back and give it a thought, Mani.

There's nothing to think about, Uma.

You two are all the family I've got.

A baby is a boon to orphans like me.

What's on your mind?

Abortion.

Are you going to kill it?

It's about raising the child, not ending its life, Rekha!

If life starts only after we settle,

most of us may never start living.

We eloped and married.

Aren't we happy?

It's all in our mind.

Good thoughts bring good things.

Stop putting ideas in her head.

I hustle for you now.

Soon, I'll hustle for you and our baby.

I won't be like this forever. Things will change.

I'll look after you both.

You should've thought twice before taking me to your granny's.

What's the use now?

I didn't mean any harm. It was just a hug.

"Oh, my sweet girl, She stormed into my world"

"Oh, dear, aren't you my everything?"

"You flipped my heart, built lovely ways And filled it with joy"

"Oh, dear, aren't you my everything?"

"Who are you? Who could you be?"

"To walk into my life suddenly?"

"Why did you bring the sky so close"

"And fill my heart with Dreams that rose?"

"Oh mirror, oh mirror! You're all I need forever"

"Forever..."

See? Have you ever fed me even once?

There's a double document.

- I'm okay with cash only customers. - Why risk, Ramesh?

We can't earn if we don't take risks.

He promises good commission. Get this done.

Owner, you earn enough from your fancy store.

Why spoil your health with night auto rides?

This income isn't enough to run a household.

- Alright. See you! - See you!

He left home because his son scolded him.

I advised him and sent him home.

"You're the ocean that stirs my soul"

"You're the gentle plume My heart beats for"

"You're the half I was born for"

"You're the beauty I adore"

"You're my world, in every way"

"I don't need anyone else but you!"

"Who are you... who are you? That came looking for me"

Grandma, he is Mani.

I want to marry him.

God bless you, dear.

You two are a perfect match.

"Oh, my sweet girl, She stormed into my world"

I'm off to the estate. Please come, lock the door.

"Oh, dear, aren't you my everything?"

"My everything..."

"You flipped my heart, built lovely ways And filled it with joy"

"Oh, dear, aren't you my everything?"

"My everything..."

- Is the doctor available? - Hold on, I'll find out.

You say you know the doctor.

What if she mistakes us?

Get a scan done and bring the report.

Doctor...

How's the baby?

Only the scan will confirm it. Go do it.

Tell me, boss.

Why aren't you answering my calls?

'Huh?'

Did you deliver the parcel to Rajan?

I just delivered the parcel, boss.

Fine!

What is it?

Boss asked me to deliver a parcel urgently, but I didn't.

Then why didn't you do it first and come?

Alright, let's go.

- Huh?! - Hey, my van!

Can you zoom in, please?

A bit more.

Where is the van?

On your feet!

Do you take me for a pimp?

I'll wipe out your bloodline.

- Stop messing with me. - Why would I do that?

Someone steals the van, and I get beaten?

This morning, I asked you to deliver a parcel to Rajan.

- And you've no idea what was in it? - I don't.

- HEY... - Hold on.

- I really don't know. - Let me try.

- HEY! - What normally comes with biryani?

- Hey, stupid! - Shut up.

What's the usual side dish?

Raitha.

You know that, but not what was in the parcel?

- Hey, Uthu. - Shut your mouth!

Don't you yell.

Your BP will shoot up, and you'll get a heart attack.

- I'm not here to save you. - You!

Get the hell out!

What did you do to the 'icing sugar' in that parcel?

So the beatings weren't for losing the van?

It was for the icing sugar?

What's the price? 500?

1000?

Cut it from my salary. I'm leaving.

Hey, stop.

Is this how you enquire?

He's fooling around with us.

And you're talking code words with him?!

Threaten him and, he'll talk.

Instead, you're talking about bakes!

Cocaine?

You gave me that? This is your idea of pharmacy?

I think whoever stole the vehicle took this too.

We'll get it if we find him.

Who is it?

It reads 'Rekkai.'

What?!

Is she one of your girls?

Boss, her name is Rekha.

She's my fiancée.

- Oh! - Keep talking to him while I play games.

- Boss, ask him to return my phone. - Hey!

I left her on the spot when I saw the van missing.

She might be worried, boss.

Talk to her.

Why haven't you called me, Mani?

What happened? Did you find the van?

What did your boss say? Hello?!

Why aren't you talking, Mani? Answer me.

- Hello?! - Rekha, I'm with the boss.

I'm talking to him. I'll be home soon. Stay safe.

I'm fine, don't worry.

- I'll call you once I reach. - Mani!

Hey!

Tie him up and bring her here.

The cocaine will return on its own.

Is this it?

- Yes, brother. - Get her.

Hey, drop her in my house.

Yeah, spare no girl.

Mani asked me to get you.

- Mani?! Where is he? - He's in the van.

- Is he okay? - He's hurt. Please come.

Mani?!

- Pull her in. - Who the hell are you guys?!

- Quick. Drive. - Let me go!

Hey!

Pin him down.

You beat up my men, I could finish you in no time.

This doesn't matter to me.

But, the cocaine does!

Come give it to me and take her with you.

Want to see her?

Here.

Got a look?

You know how our men are.

Everyone's starved including me.

You choose. Take her home or we make a meal out of her.

Boss!

They won't hurt Rekha, right?

She is the only hold your boss has on you.

Get him back his stash and he'll let her go.

Let me close up shop. We'll go.

What are you doing here, Mani?

Get out of here.

Boss, Mani's here in search of his girl.

- Hello? - Mani...

Heard you're sniffing out the tracks of your missing girl?

You won't be able to find her at my medical warehouse,

cotton mill, or at my footwear godown.

Want to know where she really is?

At an exceptional place!

Are you new?

Don't worry. I'll be careful with you.

She'll only spend the day there.

If my stash doesn't reach me by night,

I'll send her packing to Mumbai.

You know how they'll handle her there.

I'll be paid in double

and I'll be a happy man!

Now hang up, you idiot!

Hear me out, Mani.

Let's focus on retrieving the stash.

There's no other way out.

Come on, man!

Like I have it with me and I'm fooling around.

The van's been gone for hours now.

Where will we even start?

Even if I lodge a complaint, I'll be behind bars for being careless!

Poor Rekha's dragged into this because of me.

If we go officially, then yes.

What if we go unofficially?

I know a constable at a station.

Slip him some cash, and he'll hand over the recent robber list.

Tracking down the thief is tough.

But easier to find the one he handed the van to.

Four people in the city do this.

Is this it?

No, it isn't.

Kaali, here. I'm sending over a guy named Mani.

Let him peruse Brother's collection.

We're here, sir.

Whose Mani out of you two?

- I'm Mani. - Let's go.

Do you see your van?

There it is!

It's here! My van's here. There it is, man!

'She'll only spend the day there.'

'If my stash doesn't reach me by night,'

'I'll send her packing to Mumbai.'

'You know how they'll handle her there.'

- Babe, it feels good. - Arun.

Let's talk in the car.

No, we're talking right here.

If anyone sees, it could cause trouble.

Oh...Babe

Let's sneak away there,

just like we always do.

We'll find a quiet spot,

hold hands tight,

lock eyes...

- and let our lips-- - Arun!

Unforgettable!

I keep looking at those photos and videos.

What'll happen if your husband sees them?

No, Arun, please.

You ditched me...

for a rich, handsome guy and settled happily.

So, why should I suffer alone?

I asked for nothing but...

two crores. Just that!

That's his weekly spend, isn't it?

Think of this as my alimony.

You deserve happiness. So do I.

No, Arun. You've got it wrong.

He controls all the finances.

I'm only a housewife.

I can't arrange so much.

Fine. I've got no choice.

I'll blackmail your husband for money.

You won't give me,

but he will, to save your name, right?

- won't he? - No, Arun.

That's fine. But he'll still throw you out.

Then we'll both be free.

Can't live together, but we can still have fun.

I'll get the money.

As soon as I can.

This is all you get.

There's 10 lakhs.

I can't give you a penny more than this.

I'm only doing this so my child won't be raised without me.

Otherwise, your torture would've killed me by now.

Well, that was easy.

I'd gladly help you out.

Will you let me do the honors?

I'll grant your wish.

Ashok's on the line, Arun. I want you to stay quiet.

Pick up, then!

You decided to go so why leave him stuck here?

- Pick up, we'll tell him about this. - Arun, please. I want you out of this.

Arun, please, shut up!

'- Hi, Archana!' - Hi.

Come soon, Mom!

I will, sweetie.

- You better. - Here, dear.

Met your friend?

Yes, just leaving from there.

Perfect. Come off to Radisson Blu.

We'll go out for dinner with Anu.

Sure.

- We'll go out for dinner? - Okay.

This is only an advance.

If I don't get the rest, I'll initiate Plan B.

See you, babe!

- Is this today's? - Brother, this isn't today's bill.

Hold on for a minute!

- Petrol for how much? - For 200 bucks, please.

Give me the cash, buddy.

Why did you start without asking me to pay attention?

- It was your duty and I did mine. - You could've interrupted, at least.

Keep your nonsense to yourself. I've got work to do.

- Excuse me?! - Was that even necessary?

- I'll call the police on you! - Please, go ahead.

Quit arguing with those losers.

Ask them to pay up and get out of here.

I ain't shelling out a penny for your half-baked job!

Take that pump out!

You cheat us and call the police on us...

Let's roll.

I get your motive behind this.

But it's too risky.

It's a child we're talking about. Not a van.

- One bad move and we're doomed. - I do understand.

Quote your price and I'll give it to you.

- This isn't about the money. - You're all I have.

- Make it happen. - Sorry, bro.

Ask someone else to do it.

Who's this?

He works for Chidambaram in the medical warehouse.

He lost a van full with stash,

so Chidambaram nabbed his girl and is blackmailing him.

- Do we have the van? - Yes, brother.

We have just the van, not the stash.

Who brought it here?

I was only given the van, I don't know about the stash.

Who sold you that van?

Our guy, Maari, brought it in.

- Put him on this call now. - Hold for a moment, brother.

He's switched off his phone.

Can you give his address?

He's basically homeless. Nobody knows where he stays.

Are you talking about Dokku Maari?

Yes, that's him.

Call me when he's reachable.

Know who Maari is?

He used to work for your boss.

Chidambaram fired him for doing some illegal stuff.

Maari who worked with you stole the stash.

The van wasn't his target.

He wanted the stash in it.

Is it?

You better run away too.

I'll have your girl here.

Save your excuses and find the stash.

Or arrange for the money.

What's he saying?

He wants the stash or cash.

It's worth 50 lakhs, man.

- Fifty lakhs? - Yeah, dude.

Where will we find that kind of money?

'Why are they making us run in circles...'

I'll give you the money.

Hand it over to him and get your girl back.

It's too risky to kidnap a child, sir.

We can't do it, sir.

You're in danger already.

You were shifting stash, assuming it was medical supplies.

Your girl got kidnapped...

and you couldn't even go to the cops.

You worked for a bad guy, knowingly or not.

This isn't a battle between good or bad.

What matters is whether we want it or not.

Give us a minute, please.

- Come, dude. - Let's not, man.

Just hear me out.

We're already in a mess,

with no one to support.

We have to take his help.

We shouldn't let it go.

There's nothing in life without risk.

Even living is risky.

Don't overthink this.

If we knew where she was, we could rescue her.

But we have no clue!

So freedom comes only if we do what he says?

Even if we have to kidnap.

It's a huge crime, man.

Smuggling isn't, huh?

He doesn't look like a good guy.

Why would a good man come to us?

Think about it. This is our only chance to save Rekha.

Ask that 'good person' for 500 bucks and just see what happens.

This is all confusing, bro.

There's nothing to confuse you, brother.

Don't worry about it. I'll find someone else.

Just a minute, sir.

We'll do it. Promise us you'll get our cash ready.

I will give it to you as soon as I get it.

I promise.

When and where are we doing it?

They're heading to Ooty for toy shopping.

Anu insisted and so they're going.

Do you have a plan to pull it off?

We'll need a car, sir.

Consider it sorted.

I'll inform Sounder. You can collect it from him.

Sure, sir.

I'll WhatsApp you Ashok's family pic and car info.

Ashok reached Ooty.

He'll hit the hairpin bend in five minutes.

Better leave now to catch him right.

Driving an Audi's made you arrogant?

Mind your tongue.

Whoa, don't raise your hand at me!

Pay up for the repairs and leave!

Hey, hey, easy!

The plan was solid,

the kid was inside...

Now you want to beat me at my own game by taking her?

What? No way.

I swear, she wasn't in the car.

I don't believe this.

Why would we lie to you?

We agreed since we needed the cash.

Like it's our fault she wasn't there.

If you don't trust us,

we can't help it.

I agree.

- Wait a minute. - Yeah?

Where's that car now?

We returned it to Sounder.

'Everything was on track.'

'I still can't understand how we lost Anu!'

'We searched everywhere in Ooty, no sign of the kid.'

What are you implying at, Kannan?

It's not a typical missing case.

Something definitely happened.

If this was about ransom, they would've reached you.

If they haven't, then this is something big.

So you think it's a planned kidnap?

Maybe.

Chances are high.

If Ashok hurt someone in business, they could hit back.

Or it's personal revenge.

We'll know after investigating well.

You're an affluent businessman.

If the media finds out about this, they will hound you.

For your sake, I've kept this unofficial and didn't file an FIR.

You still haven't caught the guy who rammed into me at Ooty.

It was then Anu had disappeared.

Not yet, Ashok.

We'll get them soon.

We aren't at peace without Anu.

How could they think to do this to a child?

Wondering if she ate, slept, or looked for us,

I'm losing my mind.

Archana...

Please help us find her, DC sir.

Please, Kannan!

Please!

"Where have you gone, my dear?"

Okay.

"Where did you disappear?"

"Where have you gone from me?"

"Oh, where could you possibly be?"

"Whose wrong is this? Who holds the blame?"

"Whom do we ask in loss and shame?"

"Is the ocean just a fleeting spray?"

"Will it become, or fade away?"

"This aching pain finds no solace"

We don't even know that kid, sir.

Please tell them not to beat us, sir.

They brought us by mistake, sir. Tell them to leave us.

They weren't the ones who hit my car.

"Will you not come, my precious light?"

"Won't you return, my heart's delight?"

"Where did you vanish, why so far?"

"Where are you now, my fallen star?"

"Will you come home where you belong?"

Whenever kids go missing in Salem, Tiruppur, Erode or Coimbatore districts...

we question these gangs.

We didn't abduct your child, sir.

I trust what you say,

but do me a favour.

You need to find my child.

Let the police do it their way and you do it, your way.

I'll pay you one crore for that.

And I promise the police won't interfere.

"My mother's heart has turned to stone"

"Since you left, I'm all alone"

"One goodbye changed everything' 'Even silence feels like it stings"

"Where are you, my little one?"

"Where's the smile that lit my sun?"

"Where have you gone from me?"

"Oh, where could you possibly be?"

"Will you not come, my precious light?"

"Won't you return, my heart's delight?"

"Where are you now, my fallen star?"

"Will you come home where you belong?"

"Will you come home where you belong?"

"Come home where you belong"

"Come home where you belong"

I see you're not scared of me anymore.

You think if you switch off your phone,

I can't reach you?

I came just to show you...

I can destroy you wherever you are.

Sorry I didn't pick up.

Get out before Ashok comes.

You thought you could fool me off with ten lakhs?

I could've sent your media to your husband,

but his love might make him call it fake.

While thinking what to do next,

I got an idea.

Old idea but still, kidnap your child?

Scary, isn't it?

Nothing hits like hurting your own child, right?

Was this your doing?

Please give her back.

I planned to kidnap, but I didn't do it.

My person checked your car, she wasn't there.

Who told you about my plan?

And where's your kid?

I swear she's missing.

I can't live without her.

You pull me from one side,

guilt holds me from the other,

I die a little each day!

I really loved you once,

but you ruined my life with suspicion.

After marriage I've been loyal to Ashok,

but now you're ruining me again with these photos and videos.

If I find out you hid your own kid,

that'll be your last day with your husband.

Mind it.

'Pay up for the damage you caused!'

'I won't. Do what you want to.'

'It was you who rammed into my car.'

'Oh, really? Driving an Audi's made you arrogant?'

'Mind your tongue.'

'Whoa, don't raise your hand at me!'

'- Pay up and leave! - Why must I, for your fault?'

'- Screw you! - Like I'd let you off that easily.'

'Get your hands off of me! Who do you think you are?!'

'Calm down, both of you.'

Mummy?

Daddy?

They were just here...

'Hey, pull over. I see a kid standing alone.'

What are you doing here, kiddo? Who're you here with?

I came with my parents.

They were here a moment ago. Now they're not.

- They were here? Where could they be? - I don't know.

I went to get my balloon.

When I came back, they weren't here.

I don't think it's safe to leave her alone.

We'll take her and get her back to her place.

Kiddo, it isn't safe to leave you here.

Come with us and we'll take you home.

Don't be scared of us.

- We'll drop you home safe. - Okay.

Come along.

Dear, your name is Anu

And your dad's?

Ashok.

Where does he work?

He's a businessman

at Ashok Group of Companies.

It's quite famous.

Oh, him?

Hello...

Like I said, keep the child safe at home.

Uncle, this isn't my house.

Uncle, please! Please take me to my parents! Please!

Uncle, please! Open the door!

I beg you, Uncle, please!

I want my Mumma, please!

Please, please, Uncle!

Hey, you! Enough sleeping!

- What is it? - The kid's missing.

- You ate? - Yes, I did.

- What's special? - Sambar rice. The usual.

Sounds delicious.

- Are you done? - Yes.

Why are you alone? And why were you panting?

I can pawn it to you for 15 lakhs. Not a penny more, Ramesh.

My friend's in urgent need of this cash.

- I was hoping to get it for 50 lakhs. - That's out of the question.

Try somewhere else, then.

Can you accompany me to the police station?

To the what? But why?

- Why did you ask me to come home? - I will, but where's the kid?

Inside.

Come here, buddy.

You recognize her?

Isn't this the kid Arun told us about?

- Yep, that's her. - Do you two know her?

Well, kind of.

Take her inside, will you?

- What about the station? - That, we'll figure. Just take her in.

Well, we won't need this anymore.

Funny enough, the girl we were after came right to us.

Instead of pawning the documents,

we'll hand her over to Arun and get the money we need.

I've got a bad feeling about him, man.

We'll hand her over to her father and ask him for the cash.

Yes, we should find Rekha.

But using a child as bait? I don't agree with that.

I know it's wrong, but we have no choice!

After five years of service, my boss still questioned my loyalty.

In the end, it was all about money.

We tried everywhere, but in vain.

Now that we know her dad's rich, what if the police sniffs us out?

We're not giving her away. She's going to her father.

And he will have no other choice but listen to us.

A dad would do anything for his kids. They're his whole world.

Hello?

'- Is this Ashok?' - Yes.

And you are?

I need you to stay calm and listen carefully.

Your daughter is with me.

I want you to be on your best behaviour

if you want her back.

How do you expect me to believe you?

Kiddo, you say your dad is Ashok.

- Do you know his number? - I do, Uncle.

Complain to the police and you'll never see her alive.

I want 50 lakhs.

Try deceiving me, I'll ensure she pays for it.

Call me when you're done. I'll tell you the place.

Make one wrong move and you can bid goodbye to her.

Hello?

I'll inform DCP Kannan about this. He'll handle it.

That's when it hit me!

What if I abduct her?

- Freaking out already? - Ashok, please.

I won't let you do this.

My heart can't bear losing her, should anything happen.

You heard him.

Let's not involve the police. Anu's life will be in danger.

Okay.

Listen to me.

We won't involve the police.

We will find Anu.

Don't worry, okay?

- Hello? - Yes, sir.

Veena, I need 50 lakhs in cash.

We have enough in my office, right?

Of course, sir. Anything urgent?

You're incredibly mean.

You shattered my trust into pieces

How could you think to blackmail me for this?

Cut the crap, woman.

I'll make your video go viral.

Hang on a minute.

I'll call you back. It's important.

Tell me.

Arun, are you holding my girl ransom?

Whoa, whoa, wait a minute.

Who said so? How much did they ask for?

Just answer me.

It was you who kidnapped her, right?

- Leave her out of this, please. - Oh, my!

Shut up for a minute!

I am in no way connected to this.

But the person who has her...

I have a feeling I know who it might be.

- Found my stash? - No.

But I arranged for the cash.

Come to the place I tell you with Rekha, I'll hand it over.

Share the address the ransomer sent you.

Ashok is dealing with it.

And so, he has it. I can't ask for it.

Go with him and share your live location with me.

Clear?

- Ashok? - Yeah?

I'll come along?

Okay, come.

Pull over, buddy. Ashok's on the line.

What will I tell him?

Pick up. We'll hear him out.

What's the matter?

- What's wrong? - He didn't pick up.

- You carry on, Veena. - Okay.

Hello?

- Do you have the money? - Yes.

- Where do I come? - To the parking lot at Brookefields Mall.

Call me when you reach.

Okay.

What did they say?

He told us where to meet up.

Do you have the money?

Bring Uthandi along to Brookefields Mall.

I'll be there.

You hang back, buddy.

- Why? - Ashok will recognize you because of Ooty.

And if he does, hell will break loose.

I'm here.

I'm also here. Hope the cops didn't track you here.

Else, you can say your goodbyes to her.

I told you, this isn't a big deal.

My daughter is all I need.

Hang on, I call you back.

Go on.

I want to talk to Rekha before the handover.

Here, your Mani wants to talk to you.

- Mani? - Listen up.

Once you're free, head straight to the first-floor parking.

- Sir. - He's here.

At the parking lot. I just got off the phone with him.

- The handover will happen soon. - Sure, sir.

One more thing.

Ensure the child's safe. That's important.

We can deal with him, later.

Tell me.

Bring the money to P3 and call me once you're there.

Okay.

- Hello? - I'm here.

Walk straight and I'll meet you.

Sir, there's movement at P2.

I see a man in the distance, walking with a bag.

That's your guy. Hand the phone over to Uthandi.

- Why? - Just trust me.

- Here you go. - What's up?

- He wants to talk to you. - Ahaa!

- This is why you should be nice. - Shut the hell up and talk!

- Hello? - See the man walking towards you?

Yes, I do.

He's got the cash. He may bring up the code word.

Just tell him to wait in the car.

I saw you. Stay there. I'll meet you.

Sir, there's a person heading to P3.

No sign of your child.

Sir, there's someone over at P3 who could pass for a child.

- Hand it over. - Where's my girl?

Stop fumbling the code word and ask properly.

Where's my daughter?

Wait in the car. She'll come to you.

Hand it over, man.

Screwed up the code word and won't even give the bag...

All yours.

All's correct?

Look at that stupid grin on your face!

God, you're the best.

Sir, he went into the van, and hasn't come out yet.

We're unsure how many are in it.

Can I proceed to attack?

Don't. There's still no sign of my child.

Please hold till I tell you to.

'Where... is... his... number?'

'Ah, got it.'

Mani, got the cashbag.

Rekha's all yours now.

Forgive your old man, please.

You can turn up to work as usual.

See you.

'Did he just hang up...'

- Tell me. - Sir, the van's on the move.

Wait a minute.

- Don't let it go. Hold it down! - Yes, sir!

Move, move!

Who are you all?!

Teaming up with Mani, eh?

Is this all a ploy just to get Rekha from me?!

Idiot! Bunch of idiots!

- What's your issue? - What's up, man?

Here to give us more cash, eh?

Ow!

- Where's my daughter? - "Wait in the car. She'll come to you."

That hurt!

Answer me.

Mani instructed me to tell this to you.

- Take it up with him if there's an issue. - I'll break your face!

Sir, sir! I have no idea what's happening!

Mani actually owed me the cash.

He made me ask you for it and took his girl back.

I solemnly swear!

Do you have the money?

Bring Uthandi along to Brookefields Mall.

Send your men and Rekha to Prozone Mall.

Are you playing the fool with me?

- Do what I say if you want it. - I'll be there.

There's nothing but garbage in it, sir!

Sir, I swear!

Lock him down.

Billy.

I've sent you the blackmailer's contact.

Track him down and keep me posted.

Okay, sir.

Clear?

- Ashok? - Yeah?

I'll come along?

Okay, come.

Sir, he's at Prozone Mall, not Brookefields like he said.

Alright, keep tracking him.

Sir, he's on the move with a girl.

Okay, keep tracking him.

Sir?

Lock him down.

Where the heck is my daughter?!

Tell me!

Mani! Sir, please spare him.

He lied to you and used you to rescue me!

He doesn't have your daughter.

We're ready to pay you more. But please give her back to us.

I swear, I don't have her!

Trust me!

Drop the act, Pinocchio.

I want her, now!

Trust me, sir, he doesn't have her.

- He wasn't lying. - Let go of her. Take it up with me, sir.

Listen to me, you-- Let go of her!

I promise. Let go of me!

Not sure if you're lying to my face or just wasting my time.

Didn't you do this for her sake?

Return my child and she's all yours.

- Come with me! - Mani...

Sir, please let me go.

'Mani! Mani!'

Had you listened to me, this wouldn't have happened.

Had you taken good care of her, it would've gone well.

I'll tell you the place.

Make one wrong move and you can bid goodbye to her.

Uma's calling.

Yes, tell me.

Come again.

What the heck are you saying?!

I swear I'll...

What the hell were you doing instead of watching her?

Hey, calm down, man.

How will we return the kid to Ashok now? How will we save Rekha?

She knew what was at stake if things went wrong,

yet she was so careless!

She told me she was hungry.

When I went to get her food, she was gone.

I searched everywhere for her. Trust me, it wasn't willfull.

It's alright, Uma.

Let it go.

The kid must have figured out our plan.

What will I tell him?

Pick up. We'll hear him out.

What will we tell him without her?

Talk like she 'is' with you.

It's all over once the handover's done.

Making a deal is only logical if she's with us.

Doing it without her is equal to betrayal.

I know, I get it.

You're innocent

but your boss betrayed you, right?

To each their own justice.

It may be wrong, but your life depends on it.

Your choice now. To save Rekha or to gamble with his daughter.

Had we never gone to Ooty,

she wouldn't have been missing.

We would've faced it all on our own.

I shouldn't have done this without us having her.

- Hello? - You...

Do I look like a fool to you?

You risked his daughter and then tried to escape?!

You better give me my stash or my money back.

What I did was an honest mistake.

I tried to fix it but in vain.

I have nothing to offer you.

I'm hanging up.

Hey, hey... Mani...

He hung up on me...

We can't get him to pay up anymore.

- I must figure out another way. - What way is that?

Shut your gob. That'll do.

Take a look at it, you two.

Kid looks unusually crabby.

Is she yours or Uthandi's?

She doesn't look like either of you, though.

Avatharam,

I'm burning with rage. My stash is gone,

his girl's out of my grip, and the cash I'm owed is nowhere.

If you annoy me this early,

I will kill you for real.

Please, boss.

You while away our time by talking just nonsense!

Shut your gob, birdbrain.

Boss, can I show you something?

- Yes, go on. - Not you, boss, to him.

What's he saying?

He says we're like Kamal-Sivaji duo from Devar Magan.

Lend me your ear for a minute.

Now's not the time to act stupid!

Get straight to the damn point!

You saw the girl's photo, right? She's our target.

If you spot her, kidnap her.

She'll help us earn back what we lost in the stash.

Whoever catches her and brings her to me,

I'll arrange for your wedding.

[in unison] Yes, boss.

He'll join you on your honeymoon, is that okay?

Bro, can you pause on where the kid's running?

Let's check the footage on the opposite side.

She took the main road. Let's go after her.

I see someone with the kid. Try zooming in.

Mani!

It's a transgender from our neighborhood!

Have you seen them around?

These people?

There's a guy called Guna near the auto stand,

- She is Guna's friend. - He'll guide you.

I'll give you his number. Why don't you give him a ring?

- Yes, please. - 98...

Why are you looking for Nisha?

It's personal, brother.

She's my close friend, so don't worry.

You say you're close but you don't have her number?

I don't buy it.

I did have it, yes.

When my wife and I fought,

she deleted all the women's numbers.

We'll see Nisha for sure today, right?

Not just Nisha, we can meet everyone.

Tonight's event will be grand.

"Will you surrender?"

"Will you surrender?"

"Will you surrender?"

"Will you surrender?"

"No one here to hear my love No one to marry me"

"No partner, no shelter"

"But she's still a mother"

"Will you surrender?"

"Will you surrender?"

"No god with a temple, No words of blessing"

"No drums, no rhythm"

"Will the wish come true?"

"Will you surrender?"

"Will you surrender?"

I'll bring Nisha, wait here.

"Will you accept?"

"Who has no flaws Say you accept"

"Will you come close? Say, will you come close?"

"Will you step closer to hold all my love?"

"Will you accept?"

"Like a jasmine, will you accept?"

"Will you come near?"

"We are no strangers" "Will you come near?"

Just hold on.

We're searching for Nisha.

Nisha?

She went to Ernakulam just yesterday.

Who are you?

A kid's missing, so we needed her help.

When will she be back?

She said she'd come tonight but isn't here yet.

Can I have her number?

Yes, definitely.

"Unblessed by holy milk "

"My fault chained my life"

"A flower unwanted, My cursed life"

" Became my shame's voice"

"They say half man, half woman"

"Did those hands fold for worship?"

"A woman's heart, a man's heart"

"My chest holds both pains"

"Will it heal? Will it change?"

"Will the pain fade?"

"Why hate? Why anger? Learn to be human, brother"

"Will you surrender?"

"Will you surrender?"

Some guy's video calling me.

Just pick up and see.

Hello, who's this?

Mani here, Guna's friend.

Guna who?

Hi, Nisha.

Your friend.

What do you want?

You're the one who took the child in this photo.

I want just the truth. Where is she?

This kid?

Her mom came and took her.

What? Her mom, you say?

Save the lies. I know you have her.

Just tell me already.

Excuse me, watch your tone!

Do we look like kidnappers?

No matter how bad things get, we don't chase after others' money.

Running too fast made her faint and fall.

I tried to wake her up by splashing water on her.

A woman came by car, got shocked,

realized it was hers, and took her away.

And you just handed her over?

How believable this is.

She was in tears, calling the kid by name.

How could I suspect her?

I'm not scared to say this to anyone, anywhere.

Believe it or not, this is the truth. I'm hanging up.

Buddy...

It's hard to believe what Nisha said.

I didn't, at first.

But thinking about it,

she might be right.

What if it really was the mother?

Why would she ever resort to it?

That's what I don't understand.

Ashok is calling.

He's calling to ask about her.

Break it to him gently.

- Hello? - Hello...

Did you find out who took Anu?

Sir, the footage shows a trans lady

mentioning that a woman in a car took the kid.

There's something we found that isn't adding up.

What's that?

Can you check with your wife if she took the kid?

Trying to make me run in circles?

No, no, sir.

The trans lady confirmed... it was the mother who took the kid.

You were asked to search for the kid.

Don't mess around with us.

I'll catch you and crush you like a bug.

Hang up now.

Buddy, let's go to Ashok's house.

Why go there? What's your plan?

Ashok's out somewhere.

If we properly question his wife, she'll tell the truth.

Kannan.

I'll take leave.

Ashok...

I agree I told you

not to file a complaint because of the press.

Things are starting to spiral beyond our reach.

Why hesitate to file one now?

Where's the money I asked for?

Give Anu to me. I need to go.

You think I'll give it up that easily?

After everything I've done?

Your child is safe,

that's all you need to know.

Look here...

Money in one hand, your kid in the other...

Our deal's done.

Please, Arun,

I have no money to give.

Just kill me instead of torturing me.

Here's another idea.

You won't get hurt and I'll get my money too.

Will you do it?

I'll blackmail your husband using the child and get my money.

But don't say a word to him.

If you do that,

I'll kill the child and disappear.

No emotions.

Ashok doesn't care about money.

Tell him you have Anu and collect the cash from him.

Take the money, give me the child,

and walk away from my life.

If you don't, Ashok will know everything.

I'll happily upload your video, if that's the case.

You have no other choice but to listen to me.

That's what you'll do.

You better.

Yes, Archana...

Hello?

I was on a call with KJ Hospital.

Since I was stressed about what was happening,

I went to consult a psychiatrist.

All's okay or shall we consult elsewhere?

I'll call you back. I'm getting another call.

Hello...

'- Ashok...' - Yes.

Who's this?

'You seem pretty desperate to get your kid back.'

- How do you know? '- Do you really want to know who I am'

'or know the price of your girl?'

Hey...

Wait a minute.

My daughter's with you?

Who are you and what do you want?

'Why don't you watch the video I sent and decide for yourself?'

Anu...

'Look at her, sleeping without a worry.'

'Want me to make it forever?'

Hey, don't harm her.

I'll give you the money.

Just don't harm her.

'Agree to my three conditions, and she'll all yours.'

'One: Don't go to the police, no matter what.'

'Two: I want one crore as ransom.'

'Three: No one must attempt to nab me.'

'Put the cash in a bag, leave it on a scooter with the key'

'and park it where I say.'

'I'll send you the location.'

'Try messing with me by going to the cops,'

'I'll slit the kid's throat and walk away.'

He...Hello?

What happened, Ashok? Who was it?

Someone called saying Anu is with him and he wants a crore.

He even sent me a video of Anu.

Please send me the video.

No need to watch it and get worried, Archana.

The kid's with him.

We'll do this. We'll give him what he wants.

'Yes, Archana?'

The bag has the money, just like you asked.

Where should I come?

I'll let you know.

But before that...

What is it?

We've fallen for it once.

It shouldn't happen this time.

What if we inform DC Kannan?

Ashok, didn't you see the video?

Anu is with him for sure.

We shouldn't take chances with Anu's life.

I don't want to take this risk.

Alright.

I'll tell you the place.

You bring the scooter there.

Okay.

"Time draws circles in the sand"

"In the sand"

"Life throws dice with unseen hands"

You take care of the scooter.

- I'll follow them. - Okay!

"Life rolls dice in games unknown"

"In games unknown"

"Smiling wide, then cuts to bone"

"Cuts to bone"

I've parked the scooter in the place you asked me to.

I hope we get Anu back this time, Ashok.

The blackmailer can't pull one over on us again.

We're definitely going to get Anu this time!

I've planted a GPS in the bag with ransom money.

We can use that to track him down.

"...draws circles in the sand"

"In the sand"

What is it?

Someone just drove away with Archana's scooter.

What?!

Yes, get here soon.

"Puppets move on silken thread"

"Unaware of what lies ahead"

"We search the hand behind the play"

"But the cruel dance won't go away"

"On war-torn soil, Blood calls for blood"

Hey, the car's going in!

"We chase the devil, face to face"

Ashok, what's wrong?

The GPS seems to be stuck.

He must be somewhere around here.

I'll go check.

"The world won't let me fully trust"

"Time holds back what once felt just"

"In unseen dark, a gear appeared"

- You stay here. - Hey!

"In a storm with no clear way"

"Will I fall, or will I stay?"

"Time draws circles in the sand"

"In the sand"

"Life rolls dice in games unknown"

"In games unknown"

"In games unknown"

Damn it!

Why did you message me?

The bag you have...

Ashok has planted a GPS in it to track you down.

If you get caught, I'll get caught too.

- The situation may spiral out of control. - Hey!

I have no clue what you just said.

What do you mean?

Aren't you the one who blackmailed Ashok

and took the scooter with the ransom money?

Money?!

Me?!

Hey!

I haven't even started blackmailing your husband yet.

What are you saying?

You told me you are going to blackmail my husband for money.

You told me you'll return my child once you get the money.

Yes, I told you all that.

But I don't have your kid.

They conned your husband, pretending they had your child.

I was planning to pull the same trick.

Come on, Arun, stop bluffing.

You don't have my kid?

Hey! Why would I lie?

I don't have your kid.

Funny, isn't it?

I planned to con your husband by kidnapping your kid,

and now everyone's making money...except me.

It pisses me off when I think about it.

Makes me want to upload your media online for the world to see.

It'll happen soon enough.

Now get lost.

Ashok, where is Anu?

What's wrong, Ashok?

The blackmailer removed the GPS and escaped with the ransom money.

How could he possibly have known there was a GPS in the bag?

I don't get it either...

They took the money but did not return our child!

Why are they doing this?

Call them, Ashok.

Please, Ashok, I want my child. Please!

- I tried multiple times. - Please, Ashok!

He switched it off.

Please, Ashok, do something.

I want my kid.

Please make the call, do something.

- Please, Ashok. - Archana, please trust me.

Anu will be alright. Trust me.

Get a hold of yourself. Let's think about the next step.

First, let's go from here.

Stop crying, please.

- Hello. - Hey!

- Ashok is on the move. Let's tail him. - No, bro.

Be right there. I'm coming.

Hey, bro, what happened?

Ashok has planted a GPS tracker in the ransom bag.

But the blackmailer ditched the GPS and got away.

Oh!

What if he never had the kid at all... just like us?

What is it, Ravi?

I've sent you the pictures of those two guys.

Stop watching Ashok.

'Start tailing these guys and keep me updated.'

Okay, sir.

It's him.

Where's my girl?

I've sent you the location. You can get your daughter from there.

He sent us the place where she is.

Open the map link.

- Give me the directions. - Head straight, then take a left.

Take the next right, Ashok.

We'll get Anu back.

We will...

Drive faster, Ashok.

This is the location.

Pull over, Ashok

- Anu! - Anu!

- Anu! - Anu!

- Anu! - Anu!

Anu!

- Anu! - Anu!

- Anu! - Anu!

Anu!

We're at the right spot.

What's wrong?

What's wrong?

- The call's not going through. - Then try again.

Try again.

Switched off...

- Try again. - The phone's switched off.

Give it one last try. Please.

"Disappeared again, my dear?"

Anu's going to be alright...

trust me.

I'll bring her back to you, no matter what it takes.

Trust me, Archana.

Anu's going to be alright. Listen to me.

We'll get her back.

We'll get her back.

Bro...

Did you notice? Someone's tailing for quite some time.

I did.

Pull over, bro.

See? Didn't I tell you?

- I swear, I'm gonna thrash-- - Wait, bro.

Let it go. Ashok probably set him up, thinking we've got his kid.

What is it, Ravi?

Sir, I messed up.

What happened?

I lost track of the guys you told me to tail.

You what? How could you do this?

Get lost!

Archana, it's Kannan.

Tell me, Kannan.

No matter who's blackmailing you, you stay silent and pay up

just to save your child. And you think that's the only way?

They're exploiting that love and fooling you with it.

Even now, Mani and his friend...

are following you.

I feel that the person blackmailing now,

might also be their man.

I've sent one of my guys to follow you.

He informed me of everything that happened.

If we arrest Mani and rough him up a bit, we'll get everything out of him.

I've sent you their pictures, take a look.

Why have we come here?

Stay in the car. I'll explain when I get back.

Bro! Pull over!

Sir.

Are you trying to put up an act?

Did you forget I have your girlfriend?

Sir, please let Rekha go.

Tell me the truth.

Where is my kid?

Sir, I'm also searching for her.

I'll bring her to you as soon as I find her.

If you don't have her, then why are you following us?

- What, bro? - Who took the ransom from me then?

- Was it you or your men? - Sir!

It's true that I followed you

But that was to understand what was happening.

I believed the blackmailer would return your kid once he got the money.

He's the one who hit me at the bunk and left without paying.

I've had enough of your excuses.

I want my daughter by dawn.

Let's finish him off. Get over there.

If you fail me,

you'll never see your girlfriend again.

Hope you understand.

What is happening even?!

Pay up for the petrol, I say!

Now!

- Nerve of you. - Pay him.

Can you zoom in a little?

Apologize for hitting him.

Apologize!

Sorry.

'Do you know who Maari is?'

'He worked for your boss, Chidambaram.'

His target wasn't the vehicle,

it was what was inside it.

Maari!

Bro, let me go!

Where's the stash you stole from my van?

Where are the other medicines?

They're at my friend's house.

Bro, you go with him and recover everything.

I'll meet Chidambaram.

What is it?

I've found your stash. Tell me where to come.

Are you planning something? How can I trust you?

Video call me, then.

Alright. Come to my cotton mill.

It's original, bro.

Believe me, I didn't steal your drugs.

I never had any intention of betraying you.

Hey, Mani.

You found the drugs.

Why didn't you disappear with them?

What would I even do with them?

Had you believed me earlier, I wouldn't be in this mess.

Now that guy has Rekha and demands I return his kid.

You at least got your stash back.

But I still haven't found the child.

I don't even know when...

I'll see Rekha again.

Hey, Mani.

One minute.

Scumbag!

Hey.

Why are you video calling me at this hour?

You just left me here.

Kanaka told me not to show up without alcohol.

So I went to the 'Thennampalayam' wine shop to buy some.

Hey, kiddo.

What are you doing here at this hour?

I need this space. Go home now.

I'm waiting for my dad.

I'll leave with him.

He left you alone here? Where'd he go?

Off drinking somewhere?

You want some chips?

Uncle, that's not a chip,

It's a stick.

It's not a stick. Try it and see.

Take it. Don't you want it?

- No. - Why?

Scared your dad will scold you?

I'll just leave it here. Take it if you want.

Close your eyes.

Keep them closed.

- Uncle, that's my picture. - It's mine.

My uncle gave it to me.

I've been asked to find the girl in it.

It may be your picture

but the girl in the picture is me.

- Is that you? - Yes, it is.

Oh! Yes, it is you!

Hey!

Praise the Lord!

Hey!

You saw her, right? I'll leave her here. Get here soon.

Kanaka called. I'm heading out to meet her.

My plan was to blackmail the kid's father

to recover the losses from the stolen stash.

Since you found the drugs,

I don't need the kid anymore.

Return her to her father and get your girl back.

Go. Give him the kid.

Who drives your auto at night?

The owner himself. He works at a fancy store by day...

and drives the auto at night.

He has two wives, so he has to run two families.

Why are you here all of a sudden?

I saw your auto near Ukkadam factory three hours ago.

I went there because my friend needed a ride. Now what?

Who did you pick up and where did you drop them?

I don't need to tell you all that.

You'll soon be behind bars with no way to come out. Is that okay?

My friend's a car driver for a family.

He called out of the blue and wanted an urgent auto ride.

What's wrong in that?

Show me where you dropped them.

I'll tell you if you were wrong.

- Hello, sir, Mani here. - Go on.

The child is with me.

I'll hand her over to you.

Have the money ready for us.

Why call me then?

You could've called Ashok directly.

I thought the same, sir.

If I call him, I'll only get Rekha, not the money.

I want to see the kid.

One minute, sir.

Kiddo...

Wake up for me, please.

Where should I come?

I was losing trust.

Now, I don't.

A gentleman, you are.

I'm one, too.

Your share will reach you before dawn.

Uncle...

Mani...

I have your child, sir.

Shall I bring her home?

Are you serious?

You can talk to her.

Kiddo...

Your dad's on the line.

Hello, Dad?

Anu, how are you, dear?

Come take me home, Dad.

I'm coming to get you right now, alright?

- Okay, Dad. - Okay.

Pass the phone to Uncle.

Thank you so much, Mani.

- Take good care of her. - Okay, sir.

First, I want you to tell me the truth.

Yes, sir?

Who were you with when you tailed me a while ago?

My friend, sir. What's the matter?

When Anu went missing, he's the one who rammed my car in Ooty.

I saw him in the picture Kannan sent when I knew you two were after me.

You said someone in the car kidnapped the kid. Okay?

Tell me honestly, you two came to kidnap Anu too, right?

We needed money to save Rekha, sir.

A guy told us he'd pay if we took your child.

Who is that guy?

His name is Arun, sir. He asked us to do it.

Do one thing. Tell him Anu's with you and make him come.

I want to see him. I'll share the place.

Bring him there.

Alright, sir.

Daddy...

Anu...

Dad...

A...Anu!

Come.

Stay in, dear. Daddy will be right back.

Okay? You stay here, dear.

Thank you, Mani.

Please leave the kid.

I beg you, don't do anything to her.

You only needed money.

I'll pay whatever you ask, please don't hurt her.

- Please! - Call your wife

and ask her to bring three crores.

- You idiot, I told you to call her! - I will, I will...

Listen, a man's threatening us with our child.

Bring three crores to the place I tell you.

I'll share the location.

By the way...

Someone fooled me to bring me here.

Ask him to come out.

Hey, you wanted money.

Get him here, you rascal!

- Hey... - You needed money--

- Dad! - Anu!

Anu!

- Dad! - Anu!

Anu...

'Mani?'

Mani!

It's okay.

Hey, nothing to worry, dear.

Let's leave, Mani. Let's go.

'Ashok's child, a businessman of RS Puram,'

'was recently kidnapped for ransom.'

'Under DC Kannan's lead, Coimbatore police launched a rescue.'

'The kidnapper, Arun, was shot dead'

'in an encounter while trying to kill the child.'

Thank you, Kannan.

No, Ashok. We didn't kill a good man.

He was a bad one.

He got what he deserved.

While investigating Arun, certain information came to light.

I'm not sure how to say this...

You can confidently tell me. There's nothing to hide.

Before Archana and you got married,

she was in a live-in relationship with Arun.

I was aware of it.

What do you mean?

When Anu went missing...

'I can't live without her.'

'You pull me from one side,'

guilt holds me from the other,

I die a little each day!

I really loved you,

but you ruined my life with suspicion.

After the wedding, I've been loyal to Ashok,

but now you're ruining me again with these photos and videos.

'I figured out she was being blackmailed and cornered.'

I could've caught Arun and retrieved the media.

But Archana would know.

If she knew I that I knew,

she'd live her whole life in guilt.

I didn't want that.

That's why I asked you to investigate unofficially

to keep Archana's personal life private.

All your problems are solved now.

The blackmailer who took the money on the scooter...

I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have guessed.

'PRESENT DAY'

Where is Ashok's money?

Why were you at Vikram's old factory?

Tell me or else I'll kill you. Go on!

I'll tell you...

I've worked for Ashok Group for ten years...

as Ashok's personal secretary.

'My brother was in the same company.'

'Ashok beat him and threw him out over a tiny mistake.'

'I held that grudge and waited to get back at him.'

'That's when Ashok's child went missing and landed with my friend.'

Hello, Veena?

Yes, Raj.

Your MD Ashok's daughter went missing in Ooty.

We brought her back here. Where do we take her?

Send me a picture of her!

I have a score to settle with Ashok.

So, keep the child at your house.

Let him suffer a bit. We'll let her go after two days.

You had one job, Raj. And you blew it!

'We lost the kid after that.'

'Many started blackmailing Ashok for money.'

'Then, out of nowhere, I found Anu.'

- Wake up, kiddo... - Gently splash some water on her.

Anu...

- So, you're the mother? - Yes.

Can't you take care of her?

She ran away after I yelled at her.

'Because Ashok gave in to several blackmailers,'

'I wanted to do the same.'

'I kept Anu sedated so she wouldn't recognize me.'

'I sent Anu's video to Ashok and blackmailed him on VoiceApp.'

'Your daughter's sleeping peacefully.'

'Should I make it forever?'

'To trace whoever blackmailed him, Ashok asked me for a GPS.'

'And I arranged for it.'

'I assumed he'd use it on me'

'...and he did.'

'Ashok personally handled it all which made it easy for me.'

Where is my kid?

Drop the child at the bus stop and then wake her up.

Take this money.

Okay, ma'am.

We're still handing you over the money even though you refused to jail me.

We don't need it.

I didn't expect to get the money back.

I'll handle Veena.

This money is now yours.

I don't think I deserve this, sir.

I wouldn't be at peace if you took it.

Thank you, sir. I'll take leave.

Let's go, dude.

Maybe it was a mistake to return the money.

- Sorry, man. - Please.

You thought only about your peace. What about ours?

It's okay, buddy.

Uncle?

Thanks, Uncle.
