In the year 1600

In the South Indian regions
where natural resources,

mineral wealth, prosperity,
and ways of life flourished.

It penetrated solely for the purpose
of small-scale exports and imports

The England-based company
known as the East India Company.

In the South Indian regions, particularly in
the border areas of Tamil Nadu and Kerala.

They paid great attention to
the export of abundantly available

cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon.

Gradually, they spread their
English education system

and Christian religious
doctrines little by little.

During the period when
they were gradually bringing

the South Indian regions
under their control.

They were actively spreading religion
and administrative systems everywhere.

1801

Jews

Fernandes, who belonged
to the Jewish community,

along with his followers,
entered India as missionaries.

Those who penetrated in this
way also set foot in the border

areas of Tamil Nadu and Kerala,
as well as in the hill villages.

They operated intensely,
particularly in illiterate hill

villages such as Asthinapuram,
Kallukkuzi, and Mithakkarai.

In due course, their magical practices
such as witchcraft and woomency

were deliberately spread among the
people in the name of Christian zeal.

Our priests began
to oppose this.

The young Jew, Armeleus, who assisted
Fernandes, was deeply contemplating

the crucial information needed
to win the trust of the people.

Armeleus, who had a fair face, sloping shoulders,
and blue eyes, and who sat on a wheeled chair with

a mixture of fear, respect, and boundless affection
toward Fernandes, would obey only Fernandes’ word.

After that, Fernandes gave the
book Malicious Magnus to Armeleus.

Through that book, he made several
efforts to demonstrate the miracle of

bringing the dead back to life, to
prove that he was the teacher’s assistant.

Furthermore, to completely
subjugate the people, the

two of them devised a plan,
and Fernandes himself died.

Armeleus attempted to bring Fernandes’
body back to life in front of the people.

Victoria, a thirteen-year-old girl, witnessed
all of this—the actions of Armeleus, his cruel

rituals, his magic, and
the sacrificial practices and

deeply imprinted
them in her mind.

The people who witnessed these
events began to follow in his path.

Years passed.

The Government of India expelled the East
India Company and other foreign companies.

Armeleus was expelled.

However, the magical practices
and evil rituals they spread

still continue today in
Asthinapuram and some hill villages.

The people have also become
deeply immersed in them.

Even now, in the name of the teacher,
sacrifices are being offered to the crow

which is considered his
embodiment, regardless of age.

As a result, the
people of other villages

avoid talking to them
or getting close to them.

The people of Asthinapuram,
unable to distinguish

between what is real
and what is imaginary,

have created a myth
around themselves

and continue to live by passing
it down to their descendants.

In our village, there is a
man known as Poothathaatha.

In our village, he is said to catch those
who do wrong or even think of doing

wrong, as well as misbehaving children,
take them away, and lock them up.

In our village, there are
many people who do wrong.

If anyone even thinks of coming into our
village, they are afraid that Poothathaathan

will capture them for the mistakes they
fear, so no one comes into our village.

They are afraid
even to talk to us.

Door knocking

It's Grandma

Victoria gasping

Victoria panic

Victoria vomiting

Victoria spitting

Victoria crying

Grandma says she’s hungry. Can you
put the food out and come? Then we’ll eat.

Why are you sending this to me?

Grandma and I are in fight…

Grandma doesn’t like me. She
only likes her Grand daughter.

Give the food quickly
and come back

Mom, why didn’t she come
outside? What happened to her?

Grandma has a contagious skin disease, and if
she goes outside, it will spread to everyone.

Don’t talk about this again
and don’t get confused by it,

go, give the food,
and come back.

Victoria smiling

Mom..

mom

Are you leaving
for school alisha ?

Wait, I’ll come.

Ma, I keep having these
messed-up thoughts.

Hey, don’t suddenly confuse
things. Just go to school.

No, it’s not like that. There’s
nothing wrong with you.

What about me, dear? Irene do you
feel anything wrong When you see mom ?

Irene says no.

Ma

Okay… so you’re locking up
the house before you leave?

Alisha gasping

I’m leaving.

Door opens

Alisha walking

Was there even one day he
gave me no reason to complain

Always late,

Hey, can’t you be
a little responsible?

keeps shouting at me every day.

Your dad has been scolding
me every day because of you.

Eat a little before you leave.

After doing all the work, I still get scolded
by both of you… don’t you have any conscience?

are you mentioning everything?

are you doing everithing right?

You have been shouting
at me since morning, ma

I’m saying this for your own good…
does it sound like I’m shouting at you?

Don’t feed me anything,
just let me handle my work.

Sagar, don’t show anger at the
table… don’t take out your anger on me.

This is why I’ve been putting
love up with you every day.

Here,

I said I don’t want

eat a little.

NO

Hey, Sagar!

Sagar… yeah, it’s me. I
get scolded at home and

at school only for her…
only for that one girl.

Alisha ..

Even though we didn’t really
talk much since childhood,

what I liked about
her was her innocence.

Only when i go late
… I get to see her.

The happiness I don’t have all day… I
only get it the moment when I see her.

that is enough

Come on… school opens at 9
for everyone, and it’ll open at 10

just for you? Idiot, get inside.

The children are
performing a song.

Hey,

Tell me..

are you thinking there
are still many days left?

Don’t you know we’re all
leaving at the end of this year ?

What’re you talking about?

So, Mother was here this morning… and in
the assembly, do you know what she said?

Dear 12th students… your
half-yearly practicals are over…

They told us to complete the portions,
and then we could study at home.

Ok

The reason they said that is
so we can all study peacefully…

without any disturbances,
and get good marks in 12th.

The main thing is,
this is all for them.

Those who study will study… those who don’t
will just roam around the town like us.

Saagar (thinking): No matter what happens,
always supporting my murali is one side

Moni, on the other
hand, talks against it.

See, Saagar, all
this is just for show.

Even after you finish studying and start
working, when you look at her casually,

you’ll feel something.

Then tell her about your love. Don’t
talk now, focus on your work first.

Hey, nothing will happen
just by listening to all that…

Moni: Yeah, listen to what he says. you
want to be like Kamal, MOONDRAAM PIRAI ?

Or

like Karthik, in
ALAIGAL OIVADHILLAI.

Decide for yourself

Look, I said it considering her
background… she may not be right for you.

Even if your love is serious,
think carefully before you act.

Whatever you do,
just do it on time.

No matter what they say, I can’t believe
that Alisha will leave me this year.

Somehow, my heart has been telling
me that I need to do something for her.

Hey, what happened?

The children are
performing a song.

No, bro, I’ve been noticing
her since I was little…

I know how she was and how she
grew up… I even know what she feels…

hey, her father’s coming.

When she was a little girl, she
wanted to play games with everyone…

but no one would include her.

Still, she went back again and
again, believing it didn’t matter.

such a sacrifice da.

I’m also scared to talk to her…

that’s why I’ve been keeping my
distance and just watching from afar.

Is this why your dad is
paying your school fees… right?

After growing up a bit, I tried to show
her my talent… but it didn’t work out.

Oh no,

I’ve developed some attraction toward
her. I didn’t even realize it at first

but I’m starting to
feel something for her.

that too?

Now it’s grown even stronger.

I didn’t expect
this much from you.

alright, come on,
let’s go play the game.

No matter what they say, she clearly
knows not to get upset over any problem.

Boys playin basketball

Church bell sound

Intense music playing

The crow is crying.

The crow is crying.

At our St. Francis School, we
have conducted 100 functions so far…

and until now, no problems have
occurred. Isn’t that correct, Mother?

Yes Father,

Father xavier

Is that mecelin ?

Mercelin told you to stand
there, and you stood there.

This is a sacred place. There’s
no space here for silly games

with mischievous thoughts
like yours. get outside.

Father, I’m not allowed to go inside.
If I go in, will something fall on me,

or will your Lord
run away from here?

This church is a place where everyone
receives grace without any distinction.

But for someone like you, who only
does mischief and teaches it to others,

there’s no place here.
get outside, Mercelin.

get outside, Mercelin.

Please, Mercelin, go
outside… we can talk afterwards.

Mother, there are many things
I need to talk to you about…

but right now I have come to speak with
Father. He is waiting, so I am holding back.

Mercelin, whatever you need,
come with me… but not here.

Let Xavier tell it; he
knows well what I need.

Father, the God who forgives everyone’s
mistakes will not refuse to forgive me…

I have come to ask for pardon

I just want to speak; you
will understand why I came.

Father, please forgive me from the bottom of
my heart… you always understand my mistakes.

pass it to sagar...
shoot it man.

No, Father, no…

Mother, didn’t I
tell you already

that there’s a lot of give and
take between you and me?

To you, I’m the bad one,
someone almost devilish.

But my daughter… is she your lord's
daughter? you’re turning her into a saint?

you think I wouldn’t know?

But now I have come to
ask for forgiveness, Father.

Mercelin, there’s prayer
tomorrow and a lot of work…

they won’t give forgiveness on
Thursday. So come with me now, Mercelin.

Before this, I had gone to many churches.
Wherever I went, I would speak to God there

This is how they keep
the head bowed in respect…

But I won’t go until
he sees me straight

Mercelin, just don't bluff, don't see there, see me.
- please wait father

He will talk to me, just wait.

Go inside.

Just for a moment…

Just for a moment, I’m
telling you… see there

Whomever we need to trust, don’t
blindly trust them; trust only in your God.

see there, he will see now.

see there,

he will see now.

he will see now.

mother.....
mother.... mother....

mother what haappen?
father please check her.

I’m helpless, father. There’s a voice
inside me that keeps speaking. I obey it.

Even when I know what it
tells me is wrong, I still follow it.

It’s telling me to do even more
now—and I’m going to do that too, father.

Even now, I’ve come to see
you only because they told me to.

Your sins have been
forgiven. You have been saved.

So, no matter what the mistake is, no matter how many
times it’s done, will your God forgive it, father?

Is that why He is God?

No

What you asked for has
been granted. You may go.

Wait, father…

What I planned
hasn’t happened yet.

This is the year for it.

This is my year.

I’m going to do exactly
what Victoria tells me to do.

That’s why I came to ask you
for forgiveness in advance, father.

Look at me, father.

look at me for once father.

Why won’t you even
look at my face, father?

Look at me, father.

Look at me, father…

Students, did everyone receive the
Christmas gifts with your names on them?

There are only ten minutes left for
the class to end. Keep silence, okay?

hey, just see there

super dude....
- shut up

Alisha

What nonsense is this, Moni?

Is he trying to trap me by
doing all these new things?

it hurts him if he
keeps doing such things

Sorry, Alisha… because of us,
you’re facing so many problems.

Tell him to calm down a bit.

I’ll tell him. Hey did
you see that gift?

Don’t act, Moni. I saw it.

Will you take it
to him and give it?

No, no. You take it yourself.

Just tell me what it is.

Look here, Moni, he’s doing all this
without understanding my situation.

If I explain it deeply, his
entire life could be ruined.

I think you’ll understand.

Do you like sagar, or not?

What, Moni?

If you don’t like it, tell me,I’ll make
sure he doesn’t even come near you.

What I’m talking about and
what you’re talking about Moni…

Just answer what I asked.

Alisha, Alishaa…

Yes, mother. What
happened, mother?

Mercelin came to the church
today…None of us knew what to do.

She spoke to father alone

From that moment, your father
has been running a high fever.

Sorry, mother. I’ll go and
check on father immediately.

No, no, Alishaa…He is on complete rest. He has
asked that tomorrow’s prayer should happen as usual.

You take care of your mother.

Even we don’t know
what to say anymore.

She is not the same
Mercelin she used to be.

When I think about your future,

that’s what worries me the most.

You take care ok.

Alisha, Alishaa… stop.

Where are you gone?

Irene..

I didn't go anywhere.

I was waiting right here,
thinking you would come.

I clearly told you not to go
anywhere before I left, didn’t I?

Then why are you
behaving like this, maa?

In the morning you’re one way,

by evening you’re
completely different.

Even I’m getting really scared.

Shhh… don’t shout.

Everyone around
is staring at us.

They’ve already
started calling me mad.

I feel like cutting their fingers
off & breaking all their teeth

I wanna break and cut them.

but would I ever do
something like that?

you tell me

I have two children too.

And among them,
one is my little angel…

Would I ever do something
like that, leaving you behind?

Come, let’s go home
& talk. come on ma.

Wait… wait…

I went to give milk
to Sam uncle’s house.

I don’t remember whether
I kept it there or not.

I’ll go check and come back.

Milk to them? Why are you
going there again, mother?

It’s okay, I’ll go
check and come.

Come back soon.

Don't be late.

Don't talk to anyone.

Irene

Why are you crying

Mom.

Mom.

Why are you doing like this mom.

what happen to you mom?

Mom I'm scared seeing you

Mom... Mom.........

Mom... Mom please come.........

I don’t understand what
is happening anymore.

I’m behaving in such a way that even my own
children are starting to get scared of me…

Mom

Shall we pray and then eat?

Prayer before food?

Why are you saying something
new all of a sudden, mother?

You keep doing all these
practices so that we’ll be well, right?

If I don’t even do this for you,

then I’m not a
good mother at all.

Amma… don’t talk like this.

Alright, come.

Let’s pray together. Come.

(Victoria spelling / chanting)

(Horror music builds)

(Pigeon flapping / crying sound)

I'm realy scared

Please don't leave us alone ma.

If you leave us, who
else do we have?

I want you the way
you were before, amma.

Please ma.

Amma… I’m not going
to school today, amma.

Listen to what I’m saying, dear.

You go I’ll take
care of things here.

I won’t go anywhere.

Alright then, do one thing…

lock me inside the house and go.

Only then you’ll be
able to study properly.

Amma, I can’t do
something like that.

If you keep thinking like this,

it makes me feel very uneasy.

Lock it for me.

How can I go to school after
locking you inside the house, amma?

I won’t be able to
study peacefully at all.

Alishaa… it’s me who keeps
getting all these thoughts.

If I go outside,

I don’t even know
what I might do.

Amma,what are you saying?

I’m perfectly fine.

First, stop looking at me like
this… then only my mind changes.

Even though you know very well that
I’m sane, please don’t behave this way.

Amma,what are you saying?

I'm looking at you in that way.

Lock me inside and go…?

Everyone, take out your record
notebooks and copy this down.

So they really beat
you up badly, huh?

Did they just let
you go like that?

Hey, Sagar… look over there, da.

Alisha

We told you not to admit her into the school
precisely to avoid problems like this.

But the management
didn’t listen.

If you behave so
excessively like this,

it’s not a problem for them

it’s only a problem for us.

This is your last warning.

If you ever repeat this,

I’ll throw you out.

Sit down.

Sorry, ma’am.

moni

moni

What happen to her?

just ask her What happen

shoo

There is a limit, Alisha.

Ma’am… ma’am… ma’am… sorry, ma’am…
- Come.

Please, ma’am… listen to
me mam ... just a moment

She’s always behaving like this.I’m
not able to even take the class properly.

No mam....

I couldn't handle her

All the students are
getting disturbed.

Mam please mam

I’m not able to even
take the class properly.

since she has mother's
support she is going overboard

I can't handle class
with her anymore.

ma’am… ma’am…
please don’t, ma’am…

I can’t stay silent anymore. I’m going
to file a complaint with the management.

All of you will have to sign it.

Alisha… Alisha…

Enough, Moni.

I don’t want anything right now.

It’s nothing, Alisha.

Sagar asked me
to give this to you.

It has his house
landline number in it.

His father is a big advocate.

He knows many psychiatrists.

so?

What you have is just a
psychiatric problem, that’s all.

Oh… so even he has
decided that I’m mad

is that it?

From now on, I don’t
want anything, Moni.

I’ll handle it myself.

Not like that Alisha

Our daughter has left us…

If she’s gone, who are we
supposed to live for now?

She was the only child we had…

You were the one who
named her Angel, weren’t you?

(Lock opening sound)

(Door closes)

Amma, did you go
outside anywhere?

Tell me the truth.

You’re the one who told
me not to go anywhere.

Would I break that rule?

I didn’t go anywhere.

I stayed back only for you.

I even cooked
something special for you.

Let’s pray and then eat.

Today, Alisha has
to lead the prayer.

(Power cut)

(Victoria screams)

Go…

Irene.

You must stay inside.

Do not come out at all.

Mom

Give it… give it…

Mom... Mom.....

This isn’t enough for the crow.

Mom

Call someone.

No one picking up the phone.

Go around and search

2 persons go this side

or should I break the door?

Open the door.

Mom is suffering from
fever since evening

Brother what happen?

A child has gone
missing in the village.

And the child’s father
suspects your mother.

That’s why people asked
us search at your place…

You stay safe.

Ok Brother

let's go - come let's
go to next place.

Mother, who saw it first?

Sir, the hostel
security saw it first.

He’s the one who
called and informed you.

Mother, we should
immediately inform the school.

Yes, mother.

So much time has passed

why haven’t you
informed the school yet?

Inform them first.

Only then can I
complete my formalities.

For now, you don’t
have to say anything.

Students come from very
far away to study here.

We shouldn’t disturb them.

Let the classes
continue as usual.

We’ll manage things.

If their parents come to know
something like this has happened,

they won’t send their
children to school anymore.

Their education will be spoiled.

And sir… there’s no
need to do a post mortem.

You won’t understand
even if I explain.

There are many reasons.

Sorry, mother.

We can’t skip an autopsy just
because of personal reasons.

I’m very scared, sir.

Why are you scared?
you should be brave.

Mother, you’re an elder.

If even you are afraid,
then how will this work?

We’ll take care of everything.

First, let’s investigate who did
this and what really happened.

BELL RINGING

Mom,

every time I see you,
you’re behaving like this.

If you keep going on like this,

Irene and I will leave this
house and go somewhere else.

Mom

Mom, why have you
covered your face?

Mom

(Phone ringing)

check thoroughly and
Get the mother’s signature.

you can leave

Inspector, there’s a call
for you from the station.

For me?

Yes.

Hello…

Sir, we’ve received information that there
are two dead bodies outside the village, sir.

Where?

They’re saying it’s near the
old godown in the village, sir.

What should we do, sir?

Send both the
bodies to the mortuary.

Ok sir…

Alisha mom's face
is beaten so badly

that you can’t even
recognize her anymore.

They’re saying her
condition is serious.

On top of that, they’re saying

one side eye is
completely damaged.

Your whole body is
covered in blood too.

What is happening, Alisha?

Who did this to you?

Tell us, Alisha.

Is someone from your
village doing this to you?

Or did someone from
outside come and torture you?

No one did anything…

Both of us lost
balance and fell down.

Leave it, Sagar.

It’s nothing.

If there was no one, then how
did you get beaten up this badly?

Now who will take care of you?

Who else is there in your house?

Altogether, how many
of you are there at home?

Only three of us.

Four…

Four?

Irene is saying four,

you’re saying three.

Why are you both confusing us?

Who is this fourth person?

Is there a grandmother at home?

What do you mean, grandmother?

what she is saying
grandma at home?

Oh no, Sagar…

she’s not well.

Leave it.

How is that possible?

Then why didn’t she come?

When I came, there
was no one at home at all.

No, Sagar.

She never comes outside.

She didn’t come even today.

What do you mean
she never came at all?

Leave it.

I know what needs
to be done now.

I’ll go and bring her.

(Alisha gasping)

If she’s really not well,

we can keep her here at
hospital and take care of her.

Otherwise, my father knows

what needs to be
done even for that.

Murali, come da.

No.... No.. Saagar Leave it.

What we feared would never
happen… has begun to happen.

After ten to fifteen years,
witchcraft has returned.

Thunder sound

Greetings, sir.

Hey, start quickly.

All three reports
must be correct.

Don’t mix them up. Understood?

Let the doctor come

Sir, if I were doing it myself,

I’d tear it up and
give it to you, sir.

Have some patience, sir.

Let the doctor come.

Sir, the doctor has arrived.

Sir… here you go.

Father Xavier.

Is there no other name at all?

Yes sir

Sir, this body

This is the only body
whose name we know.

Bring it forward first.

Hey, bring those tools.

Sir.

Sir

Sir, Xavier’s body
was here earlier.

Now it’s on the other side.

Sir, he should have

No Sir, I swear

It was right here.

Now it’s there.

What he’s saying is true.

(Lightning)

(chanting spell )

Sir Leave. Run. Ayyo.

Leave. Run. Ayyo.

(Crows and pigeons screeching)

(Case opens)

(People screaming)

sir, No sir.

what?

Don’t do this autopsy, sir.

Not just these three.

Even if someone
else dies in this village,

no one will question you.

Why?

Sir, please don’t.

The person there, I
know him personally, sir.

I’m telling you myself.

Don’t do anything.

Hey, only if we do the autopsy

will we know what
actually happened.

Sir, you don’t
have to do anything.

Don’t start something new now.

Just hand the bodies
over to us as they are, sir.

Or you do whatever you want.

Just leave us alone, sir.

else you do whatever
you want leave us sir,

Hey, stop.

Hey, wait.. go, go inside

Hey, don’t.

Something doesn’t feel
right to me. we wil get off.

I’m talking to you only.

Why are you scared?

They’ve kept the
house very strangely.

Grandmaa… Grandmaa…

I got stuck by coming
here unnecessarily.

Go and dig. Go keep it there .

Grandmaa…
- you will get to the hell man

Why are you shouting, da?

I don’t know where she is.
that's why I ve been calling.

You said they’d
be behind, right?

Yes right, grandmaa.

Why are you shouting again?

Grandmaa… Grandmaa…

Grandmaa… Grandmaa…

What happened?

Sir, I’m the only one here.

I have to dig the pit myself.

I have to throw the soil myself.

If there were two more people,

the work would finish faster.

Finish it quickly, Pasupathi.

Sir… it’s only bones.

Put those bones down
first. Cover them with soil.

Then place the body
on top and bury it.

Grandmaa… Grandmaa… Grandmaa…

Open the door, grandmaa.

Pasupathi, dig the
second pit quickly.

Grandmaa, I know you’re inside.

Grandmaa, come outside.

Grandmaa

Grandmaa

If you don’t open the door
now, I’ll break it and come inside.

Grandmaa

Grandmaa, this is the last time I’m
asking. Will you open the door or not?

Looks like no one is inside.\

(Sagar breaking the door)

(Door smashing sounds)

Hey Saagar are you breaking
the door? really saagar?

Hey saagar can you hear me?

hey come here

Siiir…

(Victoria gasping)

Grandmaa…

Sagar…

Your granddaughter
and daughter are not well.

Only if you come
will they be cured.

If you don’t come,
I won’t leave you.

No matter what happens.
I won't go without you

(Victoria gasping)

Grandmaa…

Hey, Murali…

Murali......Murali,

Murali......Murali,
open the door.

You’re the one
who broke it, right?

Can you hear me, Sagar?
-Murali......Murali,

Murali…

Hey Murali....

(Crows and pigeons screeching)

Come, let’s go.

Come

why are you standing
still, come let's leave

hey Murali

hey Murali

(Sagar and Murali fighting)
leave me, hey leave me

(Door breaking again)

(Crow screech)

Hey...Hey Saagar what happen?

where were you all this time?

Sit down, sit down.

Mom is telling you to sit.

Sit down...
- what happen?

hey... hey saagar

Hey Jayan, He is twice as the
same as you were in your childhood.

When you were missing,
your father called.

Around that time, Murali’s
parents also passed away.

Edward, shhh.

Jayan, I’m not saying
your son is a murderer.

But the people who died and
your son had a good relationship.

Now that your son is missing, maybe there could
be some connection between him and this murder.

If there was some other reason or need
behind it, what would happen to your life?

No uncle, I didn’t
do it on purpose.

I only went there to help.

I got a call saying it was
a medical emergency.

But whatever happened there was
unbelievable not just for me but for anyone

And now Murali is missing.

Something must
have happened to him.

That girl… Alisha, right?

Yes, Alisha.

Sagar says there might be
some problem at that girl’s house.

Jayan, that is
not important now.

Selvam, -sir.

Check whether any case has
got filed from Asthinapuram - ok sir

Jayan, the people in
that village are very bad.

If something exists,
they’ll say it doesn’t.

And if it doesn’t exist,
they’ll say it does.

Whatever happens there,
no one will know anything.

If I say I don’t care about that
village, you won’t believe me.

In that village and among those people,
this station never had any case filed.

Sir, I' ve got the file.

sir

Hey Selvam, what happened?

get up

Here it is.

this one right sir?

(Television is
running and blinking.)

(Then footage from the Asthinapuram mortuary
is shown from the cassette recording.)

This is perfect.

I’m Alphonse from the Central
Research Centre, Madras.

I am the Chief Specialist for both Post
Dissection and the Human Forensic branch.

Bodies started coming
in an unusual pattern.

We received a trend alert
call from the Navalur branch.

At that time, the cause
of death was unknown.

The Madras Government assigned this
case to me, so we formed a special team.

Initially, we received only
one dead body per week.

But as days progressed, suddenly many
dead bodies started coming every week.

One strange thing.

None of the bodies showed
signs of decomposition.

So immediately, we decided to run
tests in the Pathology Department.

It was brutal.

Look at this cadaver.

This is the abdominal cavity.

After thorough investigation, we found no
evidence of poison, accident, or assault.

All the organs were
perfectly normal.

We were totally confused.

Then we thought
maybe it was brain death.

So I opened the skull.

Now I will show you the brain
tissue under the microscope.

The brain cells
were still functioning.

Whatever was happening
here, they were aware of it.

They could hear everything.

And we realized we
were trapped here.

(Lights start blinking)

Anyone outside
please open the door

The door is locked

Please help us come.

I Couldn't open the door

Save us.

Please some one come and save us

We are trapped inside.

Please some one come and save us

We are trapped inside.

very scary

Brother, this is not
an ordinary matter.

What you saw in that cassette,
I have seen it in real life.

You must not get
involved in this.

Just focus on your studies.

Jayan come out with me.

Jayan, everything
Sagar said is true.

Just like how no one believed what
happened at Alisha’s house that day,

in the same way, no one
will believe what I saw.

People are dying, but we
don’t know why they are dying.

I am just standing here,
confused and helpless.

Hey, are you coming only now?
- Yes da, what about you?

I’ve been here for half an hour.

Ok where are you
going instead of class?

I'm going to see
mother at church

do you need my company?
- No I can take care of it.

hey.... hey Murali

hey Murali

hey Murali

hey Murali

hey Murali

hey Murali get up man

hey Murali hey Murali

Hey.... hey

hey Murali

hey Murali

hey Murali

Complete the formalities.

Sister where is Mother?

(Sagar cries loudly.)

merclin?

Because of what you
did, not just your life

your children’s lives
will be destroyed too.

Are you going to waste all the
hardships they endured for so many years?

Not just their lives, my
children’s lives are ruined too.

I know, Mercerlin.

Everything is because of you.

I will never leave
you, Mercerlin.

I’ll put an end to
everything that’s happening.

how long have you been here?

ust now, sir.

Around ten minutes. tell me sir

Hey, did a mother
and a lady come here?

No sir.

No one came.

That day, during the
church father’s postmortem,

we saw witch
symbols on the body.

Yes sir.

Why are you asking about that?

Even on the ward room walls,
the same marks are there.

Oh no sir.

What are you saying?

The patient and the mother
are missing from that room.

missing ?

Check if there are
any new death reports.

I’ll stay here.

Okay sir.

I’ll check.

Are you okay

No problems right

Irene signs I’m fine

How are you

Mercerlin signs

Irene signs

Your dress looks nice

Mercerlin signs

Mother said I’ll look beautiful

Irene nods

Irene signs

Mercerlin

Irene smiles and hugs her

Mother

Call Irene from fifth standard

Her mother just took her

Uncle, let’s go

Come on push, Break it Quickly.

Irene.... Irene what happen?

Irene

We checked inside,

We checked thoroughly,
Nobody is there sir

-No sir......

Load your guns and move

Ok sir.

Gun shot Sound

Villagers attack the jeep

Sagar screams

Gun shot sound

Selvam

Yes sir

Inform higher officials

Four officers were assaulted

Ok sir

Jayan

Sir, calls you inside.

Jayan

There is a big problem

Nothing is happening
as we expected

Don’t ask me anything now

That girl’s mother is missing

The child has no one now

Keep her in your house
until we find her mother

Sagar tries to sleep

He sees Mercerlin
when he closes his eyes

At home he hears
an unbearable sound

He hits his head on the table

Scratches his ear with a knife

Blood flows

He falls down screaming

Parents cry

Irene watches silently

Alisha

Alisha

What are you seeing?

You said something important

All this started
after Father’s death

Maybe something
is hidden in his place

Is it? what are
you saying sagar?

That day you saw
Father’s mortuary photos

Yes, so what?

I also saw them

The same symbols

I saw them in Alisha’s room

And on Murali’s body

Many things are happening,
Everything started after Father’s death

I think something
is hidden there

Uncle.... Uncle.

Uncle.... Uncle.

see there

That day, when Murali was stabbed,
it was Mother who was instigating it.

Uncle see this

Uncle, same name
behind the photo as well

see there

Daniel Aasirvatham

Ancestral Roots astinapuram

His entire history is
in this one file Kumar.

The very place I swore I’d never
go, never see… is where it’s taken me.

which place did you say?

Sir Asthinapuram

Asthinapuram?

What you wanted to
know about that place?

Sir please

Whatever you know tell us

Only then we can solve this

Please, tell us something sir

Information?

Inspector

I don’t know anything

Even if I know

I don’t have to tell you

Kumar

Daniel

can you remember him?

you know Father Xavier ?

he is no more

his collegue Mother sheela

she is no more too

Why should I care

Sir

Me and my friend once
went to Asthinapuram

There we saw something

It was very different

After I escaped from
that place and came back

Only then My Friend disappeared

Hir parents died there itself

And two days after

Even my friend died

I already told you I
don’t know anything

you may leave

Daniel

What he said is
only a small part

There’s still a lot more

All the people who died
are connected in some way

Everyone's Death is terrific

The witch symbols found
on all the dead bodies

Someone is collecting them

What can I do for it?

Daniel

The same symbols were
found on all the dead bodies

what are these?

You said people can escape this

tell us

Now you must answer us

You have already seen things
you were not supposed to see

Now you are searching for
things you should never search for

This is not an ordinary matter

This is death

Something that will slowly
come towards your own death

For all of this

She is the reason

she is the core reason

she?

who?

Mercerlin

Victoria

In that village

She was the only one
with highest faith in god

1951

Asthinapuram was a rich village

as far we know

People there in the village

They had extreme dark beliefs

Just like we worship God

The people of Asthinapuram worshipped
the Devil crafting crow as a symbol.

They performed animal sacrifices

They still sacrifice animals
and offer them to crows

And sometimes

Even human
sacrifices were included

Pain & Mysteries were
revolving around the people

Their faith in
Satan had no limits

victoria stood different
from all of them

abraham was very sick and
close to death, & his wife is Victoria

Her husband Abraham worked
as a missionary near Asthinapuram

In short

Victoria’s family was the only family
in that village who believed in God

I went to church today

Father asked about you

How is Abraham

He is the same as always Father

The day he stopped
coming to church

Everything changed

Don't Cry Victoria

In the name of the Lord

He blesses the baby Mercerlin

Father named
our child "Mercelin"

I really like the name

Do you

Mercerlin

Father is coming home tomorrow

He was very happy

I was worried villagers might speak
badly because I went to church without you.

But nothing happened

Don’t worry

Everything will be fine

Everything will be fine

people's voice

When life is good we forget God

If this has to stop

We must do what
is required properly

or else this is
going to continue

not like that, don't
bluff something

what baby?

She blesses the child happily

In the name of Jesus. Amen.

May this child be
blessed through the Lord.

We know all, who
are you to tell all this?

Nancy, don’t listen
to what they’re saying.

They’re filling your head with
old tales of sin and sacrifice.

We know what to do, shut
your mouth and get lost.

your husband is closer to
death, you are advising us?

she and her dress
is so irritating.

Oh my God!

Don't worry Nancy, your husband has
been drawn in… and has gone to the priest.

He sacrificed himself to God

Because of his sacrifice

Good things will happen to us

Be Brave Nancy.

Sir

Doctor...

who is that?

sir, Doctor?

Doctor has left way long back.

no use in trusting god anymore

My husband's life is
more important to me.

Scary sound

Victoria I'm scared of
this, can we go back?

please come back victoria

seeing you do all
this is very scary

even if it's not for you,
think about the baby

we can never bring
your husband back alive.

even if you bring
back it won't be right

Your prayers have no beginning
or end Like birth and death

We lived suffering among
people with no mercy

Only anger jealousy and revenge

Then religion also
came and divided people

If God created humans

Then humans created God too

I used to say God
helps people in suffering

Then why give suffering in the first place
he might have created them right know?

why we need god
if we have to suffer?

When I was sixteen

I believed like you

I should have been the same

But I was wrong

God took my husband’s life

Now

The one who will
bring him back is

the one who believed
as life taker Satan

After her ruthless worship

The villagers became trapped getting
sick without food, with no way outside

Fernandes’ people convinced them
sacrifices must continue to survive

they does that till today

Now we have to end all this.

I will not give away my child.

Whether blind or deaf, good or
bad, my child will always stay with me.

You Leave

Leave him… let him go…
-give him, give him!

All this is part of witchcraft.

Victoria started it on that day,
wanting to bring her husband back to life.

Now she is using her
own daughter to do this. A

nd hearing what
you’re saying now,

it looks like Marceline is the reason
behind the deaths happening in the village.

Even now, human sacrifices
are still happening in this village.

We cannot afford to lose
every single life like this.

Sir, for all these years we’ve been
following the rituals they told us to do.

But has anything good ever
happened to this village because of it?

We have already given so many
sacrifices to the priest from this village.

What more are we
supposed to do now?

We have lost our child
right in front of our eyes.

we really are
unable to do anything

I’m telling you, all of this
is being done by Marceline,

yet you are still letting
her stay in this village.

As you said, let that dark figure be
the one who took your child away.

After knowing all that
was because of Mercelin

we searched the entire house
together. But we found nothing.

She was lying inside,
unwell, unable to even move.

she is the one
responsible for it.

All the rituals performed for our god
are being used for her own personal gain.

And yet, things
continued like this.

What happened to my child today
will happen to your beloved ones.

Some of the people who
worked with me died mysteriously

while performing post-mortems
on bodies brought from that village.

Anyone there? Open
the door… open the door!

I was almost trapped in it too.

But a minor accident in my life
saved me from getting involved.

Now tell me, what
exactly is happening there?

They mix witchcraft with
blind beliefs & follow them.

One of them is hurting their own body and
offering it to the symbol of their god, the crows.

That is what alters
their state of mind.

And not only that

once every ten years,
they create a tradition,

and according to it, a
sacrifice must be made.

That is how they have
been living for years

Father Xavier and Mother Sheila,
who truly understood about all,

wanted every child here
to receive proper education.

When Marcellin learned this, s

he decided her child should never live under
this curse, and sent her to the convent.

There is another power beyond all this.
We both have seen it with our own eyes.

Everything is being done
by Victoria’s bloodline.

We will cross these next two
days. Whatever happens, so be it.

Here me for a moment

our Albert died in the village. That same
knot appeared in both their houses that day.

When my child left us, that
same knot was in my house too.

Till now, in every house where someone has
gone missing, the same knot has appeared.

And by the next day, it
has turned completely burnt.

Check on this.

She has cut it
and left it behind.

Call anyone from the houses affected.
Ask them whether they saw Marcellin or not.

If they say no, I will
leave this place right now

No, no… don’t
listen to her words.

wait,

It was there at both of your
houses right? Go and bring it

The people are murmuring
among themselves.

where is she?

Sir, for the past two days we’ve searched
everywhere she is nowhere to be found.

You must perform the ritual. I
am ready to offer the sacrifice.

If we do that, he will come
looking for us on his own.

Madam, you have already lost a
child and been crying all about .

Who else do you have
for another sacrifice?

Sir

my ancestors passed down many
things through memory and stories.

Those who practice witchcraft gain their power
many times over through the sacrifices they offer.

But the greater their power becomes, the more their physical
form decays. They stop showing themselves to anyone.

If they ever reveal
their true form,

They came to this penance to
fulfill their desire at a certain age.

When they return to that same age,
their penance will break and be destroyed.

So how do we stop all this?

What is the end to this?

I’ve heard there is a book
written by Satan himself

and that the solution to
this curse lies within it.

The book is called
Malicious Magnus.

Both the beginning and the end of
this witchcraft are written in that book.

I know this because my mother who was doing
medicine practise at Asthinapuram that time told me

Some say that if the book is
burned, everything will be set right.

But the people of this village have
been protecting that book all these years.

Because they believe
that if the book is destroyed,

the entire village will
be destroyed with it.

They were made to believe it. And
so, out of fear, they continue to guard it.

But I don’t know where it’s
hidden, or in which chamber it lies.

You are the ones
who must find it.

Before the villagers come to
know somehow burn that book.

If there is a beginning,
there must also be an end

I don’t know what state of mind
the people of that village are in.

Don’t put yourself in grave danger by
going there in the name of saving them.

People who have been under
the grip of witchcraft for years

there’s no way to know how
clearly they can think now.

There is one important thing.

Those who believe in
witchcraft, and those trapped by it,

appear like beautiful
trees from the outside.

Even if those
trees are destroyed,

their seeds continue
to grow beneath the soil.

Their work goes on.

Only God can protect.
