All language subtitles for [MS] Drishyam 3 (2026) Malayalam HDRip

I am just an ordinary man.

A small world that revolves
around my wife and children...

That's my family.

The boy who died was the son
of an Inspector General.

They will tear our family apart.

Our daughter's future is at stake...

I'm scared of going to jail.

You? Going to jail?

Not while your father is alive.

-I can't do it.
-You must!

There is only one piece of evidence
the police can use to prove this.

-Our own fear.
-Watch closely, sir.

If he's afraid deep down,

he'll turn around
and look back at us.

Last Saturday...

I mean, August 2nd, Saturday...

Where were you?

We were at a spiritual
retreat in Thodupuzha.

He just recreated that day.

He recreated the dates...
August 2nd and 3rd.

This is a tightrope walk.

I may win... or lose.

But I promise you this.

Neither you, nor our children...

will ever go to prison.

Like for everyone else,

my family
means everything to me.

To protect it from being destroyed,
I will do whatever it takes.

And so, in my eyes...

everything I did was right.

Please forgive us.

Can you please...

tell me where
it is, Georgekutty?

I'll take it away in secret.

Even Geetha won't know.

Please don't come
to meet me again, sir.

Don't drag us back to the
memories we're trying to forget.

I told you, we don't talk
about it in this house.

We must talk.

I can't take this stress anymore.

Why did you kill my son?

Answer me!

A clever scheme to save
your family, is it?

I've lived every day...

knowing that sooner or later,
you would uncover the truth.

This is all my fault!

Hey!

You are not to blame
for any of this.

-Dad... you're taking the fall for me...
-Hey!

I don't understand
what's happening here.

As per DNA reports,
this skeleton is not Varun's.

Whatever the justification...

In front of that young man's parents...

he'll never be able to
walk with his head held high.

He must find a way to atone.

[I am giving you
what you asked for.]

[Sorry for hurting you again.
[Can you leave us alone, at least now?]

It's like a case that is closed,

but will never close.

Don't worry, my son.

This is what has to be done.

I made this decision
for our family's well-being.

At least now,
I need to sleep peacefully.

You're the head of the family now.

-Dad!
-Hey!

Don't cry!

I'm not leaving forever, am I?

You should take care
of your mother.

Krishnakumar!

It's time to leave.

[crowd cheering]

Hari Sir... all you happy?

Of course!

-That was great, wasn't it?
-Brilliant.

-All okay, right?
-Thank you.

God bless!

-Congrats!
-Thank you, Chettaa!

-Thank you, thank you.
-Congrats!

Dad, that was amazing!

-Congrats.
-We need a treat, Chettaa!

Of course!
Thanks!

-Sir, how was the film?
-Ah, everyone's here?

Shouldn't I be asking you that?

-Did you all like it?
-The film was superb, sir. We loved it.

-Thank you.
-Sir, will this film cross 100 crores?

I don't know about that.

-But I'm confident we've made a good film.
-Okay, sir.

A first-time director.
Your very first film.

Seeing this kind of response...
how do you feel?

First of all, thank you all so much.

I'm incredibly excited.

Getting an actor like
Harikumar sir on board,

and having my
entire crew stand by me...

And above all,
producer Georgekutty Chettan

who trusted a newcomer like me
and invested his money in this film...

I'm indebted to everyone.

-That's all I have to say.
-Anyway, he's done a good job.

The writer, Vinayachandran sir...
why wasn't he at the premiere?

Vinayan sir is in Chennai.
He said he'll watch it there.

There's a rumour that
Vinayachandran is staying away,

because of creative differences
with the producer Georgekutty?

I haven't heard any such rumour.
Anyway, I'm sure it's not true.

You should ask
the producer about that.

-Right, right.
-Sir, where's the producer?

Mom, when you divide the property,
give me this theatre as my share.

Shut up!

Any objections, Chechi?

-I do.
-Oh! - Huh? Really?

-Then I'll just go convince Dad.
-Yeah, good luck with that!

Sir, we're getting calls from many
theatres. The response is great everywhere.

If the online reviews are good as well,
this movie's going to be a blockbuster!

There's no way
the reviews will be bad.

How could they be, sir?
The movie is fantastic, isn't it?

I'm heading home with them.

I want to stay home
for a few days.

Ah, that's a good idea, Sir.

-Did you like the movie?
-It was great!

-Fantastic!
-And my acting?

Everything was good
except for that salute.

-Huh!
-It was superb!

Rajan, I'll head out
through the back door with them.

There are plenty of
media people out front.

You should give a
few interviews, Sir.

No, no, no.
I already know their questions.

-Come on.
-But...

Sir! Sir!

I'm a reporter with
News Malayalam 24/7.

Can I get an interview, sir?

Sorry.
We're in a bit of a hurry.

We have a guest at home.
We have to leave now.

No, sir. Not right now.

I need an interview
with the whole family.

We can think about it later.
Get in.

-You get in.
-Try to get at least a sound bite.

Come on, come on.

-Sir, may I ask a quick question?
-Yes.

There's a rumour that this film
is based on a real incident.

That something that happened
in your own family

has been adapted
with a few changes.

So what?

I just wanted to ask a few
questions about that, sir.

You don't need an interview for that.
I'll tell you right away.

Due to a misunderstanding,

the police came after our family.

I've always wanted
to produce a film,

so I thought of turning
my own story into one.

A story about an innocent family

being hunted by the police.

But that felt like a clichéd story to me.

So, I decided to take
a different approach.

A story of a family forced to commit
a crime and then chased by the police.

I shared the idea
with Vinayachandran sir.

He felt there was something
new about this story.

And that's how this
project came about.

I'm already late.

I told you, I have a guest at home.
See you later.

He's incredibly sly.

Yeah!

No wonder even the police
called it quits!

Did you like the movie?

Of course! The movie will
be a blockbuster for sure!

Though it's been only
two days since release,

with phenomenal audience response,

the Harikumar film 'Drishyam'
is taking theatres by storm.

I haven't seen a film this good in ages.

Due to overwhelming public demand,

many theatres have
introduced late-night shows.

Across all leading online
ticket booking platforms,

the film is trending
and breaking records.

Awesome movie!
I'm speechless!

Killer!
Just killer! Absolutely brilliant!

With the strong
audience support,

and its current
box office performance,

film circles predict
that 'Drishyam' is on its way

to becoming one
of Malayalam cinema's biggest hits.

Directed by newcomer Aneesh Raj,

and starring Harikumar
in the lead role,

the film is written by
renowned writer Vinayachandran,

and produced by Georgekutty
under the banner of Rani Productions.

This film, which revolves
around a family,

has one of the finest performances
of Harikumar's career,

according to the audience.

All audiences,
including families--

Oh, come on, Jacob sir...

You've had house-full shows
for a whole week.

The Capital Theatre people
won't stop calling me.

Don't films usually run in
two theatres in the same town?

Georgekutty, you know I paid a premium
advance for this film.

If it starts playing in theatres
around mine, isn't that unfair?

Please don't say that, Jacob sir.

Even the distributors
are insisting on it.

Oh! The distributors!

-They'll take money from anyone!
-Enough, enough.

I won't allow it, Georgekutty.

Sir, can't we give them
just two shows?

Not possible!

Don't be so rigid, sir.

I'm not being rigid.

Come on, please cooperate!

Georgekutty, you know, right?

I renovated this theatre for 3 crores
just two months ago.

And you were the one who told me
not to worry about the cost,

and to make it state-of-the-art!

For theatre owners drowning
in debt after spending so much,

films like this are our only relief.

And now you want to
play it everywhere!

Why not screen it
in the town hall too?

Hey! I'll talk to those
distributors again.

Talking to them isn't enough.
You have to make it happen.

Anyway, I'm expecting a favourable
decision from you, Georgekutty.

-Yeah, I'll call you.
-You must!

This is a rare jackpot
for the theatre owners!

You think they'll just let it go?

What can I do?

The distributor just
dumped this on me.

Distributors outside Kerala keep calling.
What should I tell them?

We can release it after a week.

The moment it
releases outside Kerala,

a pirated print will
be out right away.

Malayalam films are in high demand
outside Kerala now.

Why should we lose that
by delaying?

When our film is getting
such great reports,

the demand will only
grow, right?

That also opens
the door for remakes.

Let's not waste time, Rajan.
Let's go.

Sir, I couldn't get tickets
for the film. I need four.

Just let Rajan know
which theatre you're going to.

-Rani, I'm heading out.
-Sir, about the matter I came for...

You don't have to come here again.

My daughter's wedding
is pretty much fixed.

But sir, the Kanjirappally family
is very keen.

-It's a great proposal.
-Didn't you hear what I said?

I told you my daughter's wedding
is nearly finalised!

You may leave now.

Rani, I'm off.

Don't go yet.
I'll be right there.

Hey, aren't you having breakfast?

No. I don't have time for that.

Oh dear! Just a minute!

-Anu, bring that here.
-Yeah.

Is Anju's wedding finalised?

No. I just said that
to get rid of him.

You shouldn't have
scared him off like that.

He never brings
good proposals anyway.

He keeps showing up, asking
for a thousand, two thousand and so on.

There were two others just like him.

I sent them packing too.

What about those
online matrimony sites?

That's not working either.

Besides, she's not interested anyway.

Once they get her number, they ask
all kinds of inappropriate questions.

-And no good matches are coming through.
-Rajan, start the car.

-Only allow Mathayichan inside.
-Okay.

He always brings good proposals.

Mom!

-Here.
-Don't leave on an empty stomach.

-At least eat this before you go.
-What's this...

But... don't you have to
rinse your mouth?

Yuck!

What did you feel after
watching the movie, Anju?

It was a good movie.
I enjoyed it.

You didn't have any other
thoughts, did you?

No.

Very good.

You're perfectly alright now.

We won't need these sessions anymore.

If you need anything,

just give me a call.

-Only if it's necessary.
-Alright, Doctor.

Thank you.

And yeah, Anju!

Ask your mom to give me a call.

Okay.

The film 'Drishyam'
is making history in Kerala.

Now entering its second week,

the film continues to shine
at the box office.

And what's unusual is that

the film hasn't yet been released
outside Kerala.

Even as the film continues
to get rave reviews...

Hey! It's our hero!

Yeah!

Good afternoon, Georgekutty!

You're happy, right?

We should release our film outside Kerala
and overseas immediately.

The distributors have been
calling me non-stop.

And they're offering good figures also.

Sir...

We can go ahead, sir.

That's better.

-Please ask them to contact me, sir.
-I'll tell them.

-Okay, sir.
-Okay, Georgekutty.

See?

Do you now see the benefit
of delaying the release?

Now we can negotiate.

That's true.

But you took a huge risk, sir.
What if the film had bombed?

Nothing would have happened!

I had faith.

We have to trust
our own film, right?

No, it's just that...

Huh?

It's...

It's an international call.

-Hello?
-Hello! Hi! Is it Georgekutty?

-Yes!
-Good afternoon!

My name is Shahid Ahmed.
I'm calling from Universal Movies.

Err... Hari sir called.

Oh, great! So, we would like
to discuss the possibility

of distributing your film 'Drishyam'
outside of India.

How? How?

-How much?
-Yeah, we can discuss that.

Offer? Offer?

Err... Do you have
a figure in mind?

Errr...

No. You tell.

Are you okay with profit sharing?

Oh!

Sir... No...

Sir...

Give... time!

Yeah, sure. Take your time.

Time... then... offer.

Okay. So, shall I call you
in the evening?

No, no, no.

-Tomorrow!
-Alright!

-I'll give you a call tomorrow.
-Okay, sir.

Okay.
Thank you so much.

-Okay, bye.
-Bye, bye.

Hey, Rajan!

-Yes, sir. Are you done?
-Yeah.

Okay.

Hi. What is it, Ma'am?

-I need a facial.
-Please come.

Please sit.

Doctor!

Do you remember me, Doctor?

We met during the
premiere of 'Drishyam'.

Oh, yeah. Now I remember.

-Aren't you a psychologist?
-Yes.

Actually, a friend of mine
needs help.

I'll bring him.

-Can I get your number?
-Of course.

-Tea.
-Thank you.

He'll be here soon.

The censorship laws in the Middle East
are different from ours.

I don't know much about that.

Just go with what they say.

That's all.

This is my first time
producing a film.

I'm still figuring all this out.

Yeah, next time I make a film,

-I'll keep all this in mind!
-Huh?

-Just kidding! Just kidding!
-Hmm.

Ah. Okay. Okay.

Let me just...

Let me go through this first.

I'll call you back.

Hey, Mathayi Chettan has been
waiting outside for a while.

One minute.

Dear, here...

-Ugh!
-Hello!

Print as many
posters as you like!

What?

The 100 crore club?
No, no.

Let that happen first.
We'll announce it then.

I'm very particular about that.

We must be transparent.

Ah... Hari would like that.

He could use it
to hike his fee, right?

So yeah.
Do as I said.

Yeah. Alright then!

Ugh!

Georgekutty, what on earth are you doing?

You've been so
absent-minded lately, Dad.

Georgekutty!

That's a hand towel!

I'll do it.

You go outside.

Go see Mathayichettan first.
Everything else can wait.

Huh?

Anju, grab a cloth from the
kitchen and clean this up.

Okay.

He's saying they're not interested.

But they seemed
very interested when they left.

The boy's mother told me
right then that they liked Anju.

And... about the case...

We were completely
honest with them, right?

That's all true.

But it seems someone told them

that the girl is undergoing
treatment for a mental illness.

Oh no!

It's not that kind
of treatment at all.

She was just seeing a psychologist.

Sir, I understand what you mean.

But whoever spoke to them,
wouldn't have phrased it that way.

Georgekutty, what if we have
that psychologist speak to them?

I'll tell you what.

Anyway, I'll speak to them
one more time.

It was a really good proposal.

Well...

And about her...

the property share...

We'll do whatever is necessary.

Alright!

I'll mention that as well.

Shall I leave then?

Here you go.

Mom, what are you both doing?

Are you trying to tempt someone
who isn't even interested?

Didn't she already say she doesn't want
anyone expecting a dowry?

This isn't dowry, dear...

-It's her share.
-Hah!

It's the same thing!

Dad, can't you at least try
to understand what we're saying?

Our plan isn't to throw money around
just to get her married somehow.

This proposal we received now
is a very good one.

They're good people.

But someone has misinformed them.

So, to make sure we didn't
lose this alliance...

we only thought the way
any parent would.

So, if they fall for this offer,
will we go ahead with it?

No. You are right, dear.

Georgekutty!

She has a point, Rani.

Don't worry.

We'll find a good match for her.

Well, I asked you to come here...

to speak with you about
something important, Georgekutty.

The problem Anju and Anu
are facing right now

is the lack of clarity
about your case.

No child in the world
trusts their father

as much as your children
trust you, Georgekutty.

But they're grown up now.

And they have many questions.

And only you can answer
those questions, Georgekutty.

If possible, take them

somewhere for a short trip.

And talk to them openly.

It'll really help them.

Advocate!

Ah!

I asked her to come.

Dr. Ranjini told me

that you had some
questions about the case.

Good evening.

-Sorry, I'm a little late.
-Oh, not at all.

The film is doing well, isn't it?

Yes, it's going very well.

We've already ordered food.
Would you like anything?

No, I am good.
I've already eaten.

I see.

So, what did you want to know?
Go ahead, ask.

We don't have too many questions, Dad.

What's going on with the case?

We just want to know
whether it's over.

Technically, it isn't over.

But practically,
it's as good as over.

There are plenty of unsolved
cases in our country.

This will just become
another one of them.

So?

Won't the police
investigate it anymore?

They're obliged to investigate.

But they'll just go
through the motions.

Besides, that boy's family...

was following
this case very closely.

Now that they've got
what they wanted...

Who's going to bother
pursuing it anymore?

Geetha Prabhakar...

You think she'll just let it go?

She is in depression.

How do you know?

I saw a report about it on a US-based
Malayali YouTube channel.

You saw it too, didn't you?

Yeah.

See...

Unless they find new evidence,

the police can't move
forward with this case.

But that...?

No, she has something to ask.

Go on, dear.
Don't be afraid to ask.

For six years after the incident,

we kept telling ourselves
we had nothing to fear.

That's when the police
showed up again.

That could happen again, right?

But didn't the High Court quash our case
because of the DNA mismatch?

We know that Dad
has moved it somewhere.

What if the police find it again?

Just because those remains
are found somewhere...

that alone doesn't become
evidence against you.

It becomes a problem only if they can
connect it to you somehow.

Then why did we get so scared
when it was found at the police station?

Back then, there was a witness
who saw Georgekutty.

So the circumstantial evidence
was much stronger at that time.

So as long as they don't
find the remains,

they can't do anything to us, right?

If they find any new and strong
circumstantial evidence, they can.

But if they had found
anything like that,

the police would've
used it by now.

This case is over.

Most importantly,
Prabhakar's family has dropped it.

The police don't have
any evidence against you either.

Lately, on social media,

there's been a propaganda
campaign running against all of us.

Social media.
It's just seasonal, isn't it?

When a new topic comes
along, it'll die down.

And...

all of you need
to accept this reality.

The police,

and a large section of society,

know exactly what the truth is,
in this case.

Anyone who thinks rationally

wouldn't blame you.

So just put all this behind you

and move on with your lives.

Okay.

You could've stayed for dinner.

No.
I have a client meeting at 8:30.

I rushed here only
because it was this matter.

At such short notice.

Must have been
a lot of trouble, right?

Not at all.
I'll just factor it into my fee.

Why not tell them
about the acid?

The kids are growing up, aren't they?

The way they think is changing.

Even though I did it
to protect them,

when they learn what I did...

what if they start thinking

-their father is a criminal?
-Hey!

They'd never think that way.

I'm starting to think that way myself.
So why wouldn't they?

You don't have to think
like that anymore.

It's all over, isn't it?

-Is it, really?
-It is.

Be positive.

Mom, why don't you learn
to make this at home?

I could easily make all this.

-Oh sure, Anu.
-Yeah, right!

You wouldn't know.
You're never home.

Oh, please! As if I don't know!

-Hey! I'm serious.
-Yeah, yeah!

You get down.
I'll get the camera.

Okay.

We're making a documentary
about the Varun case,

and we're here to speak
with you about it, sir.

Sir, where's your wife now?

She's in Kalpetta.

She was transferred
around six months ago.

Sir, would you mind if we filmed you while
we asked a few questions about the case?

Sorry. The case is still active.

And I'm still in service.

It wouldn't be right without
permission from my superiors.

Then... could you
speak to your wife, sir?

Even if you get any information
from me about the case,

you won't get
anything from my wife.

And why is that, sir?

She must have her reasons.

I heard your wife carried
a lot of guilt about what happened.

Oh! So you know everything, huh?

I also heard you're
under suspension, sir.

I am.

May we know the reason, sir?

Anyway, it has nothing
to do with the Varun case.

Sir, may I make a proposal?

You don't have
to cooperate officially.

Just help us unofficially.

Nothing you say
will be on record.

We just need some
information from you.

What's in it for me?

Sir... we can discuss that.

Under this beam here,

on the wood...

we could add
a mirror-work border.

-We can do that.
-And then... a handrail...

Wouldn't it be nice if we ran it
from here to there?

No matter how much you polish copper,
it won't become gold, Georgekutty.

Instead of tinkering
with this old house,

why not build a new one?
How many times have I told you?

Hey, you, come here!

Hey!

Can you draw it
just the way I described?

Get going now.

Dad!

-What is it?
-Dad, look at this!

What is it?

Huh?

What is it, dear?

Mom, our movie is on YouTube!

Oh! Is that all?

The way you yelled,
you scared me to death.

But... isn't this a problem?

Ever since he made that film...

I've had no peace of mind.

Georgekutty, I'm in Dubai.

I'll be back the day after tomorrow.

Here's what we can do.

I'll come straight to Trivandrum.

You meet me there.

We can go and meet
the DGP together.

I'll make the necessary
arrangements.

Yeah.

So, didn't the police investigate

where Georgekutty took Varun's remains
from the forensic office?

By tracking his phone location,
those details can be found, right?

Yes.

And the police did investigate that.

From Kottayam, he headed towards
the Manimala area.

He stayed there,
near the Ponthanpuzha Forest,

for about two hours.

Then, via Mundakkayam-Kuttikkanam...

he went back to Rajakkad.

So he must have disposed of it
in the Ponthanpuzha Forest.

-Right?
-Could be.

Or it might've been a diversion
to mislead the police.

He's someone who anticipates
the police's moves and plays his own game.

So, even the police are his fans.

See...

The only reason I'm even
speaking to you

is because I know
your editor-in-chief.

That doesn't give you the right
to say whatever you want.

Sorry, sir.

It's very easy for you to talk about
police negligence and incompetence.

But no one ever sees
the practical difficulties we face.

There are about 53,000 police officers
in the whole state.

That's one officer
for every 650 people.

And the number of cases
keeps rising every day.

We have our limitations too.

Just arresting someone
isn't enough.

We have to find enough evidence
to get him convicted in court, right?

Sir, there's talk that Geetha Prabhakar
has also withdrawn from the case.

Is that true?

She hasn't withdrawn from the case.

But they lost their interest...
Right?

And why would that be, sir?

We haven't felt so.

They conducted Varun's last rites
using his remains...

How did they get them, sir?

Small world!

People talk!

What's wrong with you?
Are you paralysed?

Yes. For the past two days!

Where are you off to, Dad?

Thiruvananthapuram. Didn't I tell you
I'm going to meet the DGP?

Huh? But isn't it Sunday today?

I'll stay there tonight.

Harikumar sir is coming tomorrow.

I'll meet the DGP with him.

Would you like to know
anything else?

Oh! Dad!

Dad, about that thing
I asked you?

-Dad, the keys.
-What?

Remember the course I told you about
at the University of Singapore?

Are there no universities here that
you have to go all the way to Singapore?

For Cyber Security,
that university is the best.

Let me come back.
We can decide after that.

Just tell him.

Looks like you're
going somewhere, sir?

Yeah. I'm heading to Trivandrum.

Sir, two good proposals have come in.

-Where from?
-One's from Pala.

The other from Thodupuzha.

But the guy from Thodupuzha
lives in Australia.

Didn't I tell you?
No proposals from abroad.

But they're a good family.

That family from Pala...

Tell Rani about them in detail.

Tell Rajan to go there
and inquire about them.

Okay.

I'll be back soon.

My name is Georgekutty.

I have an appointment with the DGP.

He is in a meeting.
Please wait outside.

Georgekutty?

Ah!

Suresh Babu sir?

You don't have to
call me sir anymore.

I'm no longer in service.

I opted for early retirement.

I needed some money for
my daughter's higher education.

Well, what are you doing here?

I'm here to see the DGP.

Actor Harikumar is coming as well.

A pirated version of our film
has leaked.

So I've come to lodge
a complaint.

-Have a seat.
-Okay.

Sir, how long has it been
since you retired?

Not long. About two months.

I was with the Ernakulam Cyber Cell
when I retired.

Where's your daughter now?

She's in Canada.

She got into a good university.

You have two children, right sir?

Yes. My son finished his B.Tech.

He hasn't found a job yet.

He's been slacking a bit.

What brings you here, sir?

I came to finish some
paperwork for my VRS.

Oh!

Georgekutty, I haven't watched
your film yet.

Oh, that's fine.

I'd been really busy.

The case has died down, hasn't it?

I don't know, sir.

From what I've heard, the police aren't
very interested in pursuing it anymore.

Your case turned out
in ways I never imagined.

To be honest, when I came to your
house as part of the investigation,

I thought it was just another one
of Sahadevan's games.

There's something I've always wanted
to ask you if I ever met you again.

Actually...
it was self-defence, right?

Why didn't you come to me then?

Geetha Madam!

She was the one
you were worried about, right?

Come to think of it,
you're right.

She could've made
anything happen.

Even then, no one could
really blame you in this case.

Once we understood
the whole picture,

many of us in the department

were on your family's side in spirit.

But hey, people are human.

Some hold on to their egos
and grudges.

Ah! Your hero is here!

I'm here for a meeting.
Please.

Sir, if you ever need anything
at all, you must call me.

I appreciate that.

-Do you need a photo with him?
-Oh, no!

I think I'm past
the age for all that.

And Georgekutty, I told you
about my son, right?

He's really interested
in film directing.

He has even worked
on a couple of short films.

-Would you be able to give him a chance?
-I'll see what I can do, sir.

-Sir!
-Yeah.

Okay. One second! Please!

You got here early?

About half an hour ago.

The flight was a little delayed.

Sir, this is Suresh Babu.
He used to be posted at our station.

They said the DGP is in a meeting.

-They will call us now.
-Sir!

The meeting's over.
He's ready to see you now.

-Is it? Let's go.
-Okay, sir.

I'll call you!

The Harikumar film that gave
Malayalam cinema a new lease of life

has already crossed the 100 crore
mark, according to latest reports.

The film that has become the biggest
milestone in Harikumar's career...

Ah! When did you reach, sir?

[news continues]

Just about five minutes ago.

I inquired about
that family from Pala.

They're a good family.

They're basically farmers.

The son studied in Vellore.

He's working in Ernakulam now.

He has two younger siblings.
A younger brother and a younger sister.

They're both studying
in Chennai right now.

So, it's a good proposal, right?

It is a good proposal...

But his father is close friends
with the Thrissur Zonal IG.

That's the only complication.

May I come in?

Oh! Come in, come in!

Ah!
Hello! Congratulations! You owe us a treat!

Done!

Congrats!

And thank you so much!

Shouldn't I be the one thanking you?

Not at all.

You could have gone to any other
big-shot director if you wanted.

But you still gave a chance
to a newcomer like me.

-That itself means a lot, Chetta.
-Come.

-Should I get you some tea?
-Oh, no. Nothing, please.

I was just heading
somewhere else.

I stopped by to share
two bits of good news.

-What is it?
-First, we crossed 100 crores!

And... my second film
just got confirmed.

-Wow!
-Awesome!

Who's the hero?

The hero...

-Who wrote the story?
-It's mine.

I'm writing it myself.

The lead is Fahadh Faasil!

Whoa!

-Amazing!
-All my prayers and best wishes.

There's a producer right here!

Are you interested, Georgekutty Chetta?

I'm not planning a film anytime soon.

-I need some time.
-Oh, okay, okay.

Will there be a role for me?

Of course, of course!

Alright, Chetta.
Shall I get going then?

I'm in a bit of a hurry.
Okay, then.

-Alright.
-Aneesh!

Yeah?

Could you do me a favour?

Come on, you don't even
have to ask, Chetta.

Just tell me what you need.

Ask your son to call
Director Aneesh Raj.

Thanks a lot, Georgekutty.

It's been my son's biggest dream.

And I don't know anyone
in the film industry.

I was just wondering what to do...

when God himself
sent you my way, Georgekutty.

Okay, sir.

If you ever need anything,

-you can call me anytime.
-Oh, I will!

-Alright then.
-Good night.

You too. Good night.

Are the kids asleep?

Yes.

Didn't you say

all our problems were over?

That we had nothing to fear now?

Yes.

Then why did you
reject that proposal,

just because the father is friends
with a police officer?

Listen... Anyone
connected to the police...

Do you really think
they would agree to this marriage?

Don't worry.

God will send us

the right person

at the right time.

For our daughter's wedding to happen,

I've vowed to attend nine novenas.

So what's the problem then?

There's one thing I strongly
disagree with you about.

Didn't you hear me?

I said I disagree with you, Georgekutty!

What's new about that?

That's not what I meant.

Your decision not to consider proposals
from abroad for Anju is wrong!

What's wrong with wanting
my own daughter

to be somewhere I can see her?

Just let her escape this cursed
town somehow, Georgekutty!

Huh? A cursed town?

Since when did this town
become cursed for you?

Don't you know how many proposals
for her have fallen through, Georgekutty?

How is this town to blame for that?

It's because of certain problems
we've had in our lives.

And as for what the
townspeople are saying...

That's just human nature.

It will be the same no matter
which country we are in.

I agree!

But shouldn't she learn

to deal with her problems
on her own?

She's relying on you for every
little thing now, Georgekutty.

I don't think
that's good for her.

You yourself said...

our problems are all over.

If that's true,

shouldn't we just let her
make her own choices?

I mean, Anu already wants
to go study abroad.

Why are you holding
her back, Georgekutty?

Don't tell me
we can't afford it now.

Anju can go anywhere.

But the younger one...

She's a bit too hyper.

Let her mature a little.

You always have an answer
for everything, Georgekutty.

Do whatever you want!

Yes?

We're here to see Georgekutty sir.

He hasn't woken up yet.

I can't wake him right now.

We'll wait.

What's up, Jose?

Come.

Don't just stand there.
Come on in.

Come.

Have a seat.

No, it's alright.
We'll stand.

I'm not talking to you
unless you sit down.

Sit.

So tell me, how have you been?

Georgekutty sir...

Please forgive him.

For what?

I made a terrible mistake.

I shouldn't have
gone to the police.

I was a complete mess.

I was just desperate for the money.
That's why.

But what did you do
that was so wrong?

You didn't lie, did you?

You only said
what you saw, right?

Ever since we took that money,

we've had nothing but misfortune.

My mother became bedridden.

We spent a lot on her treatment.

Soon after, mom passed away.

Whatever we do,

nothing seems to go right.

We recently went to a retreat.

And the priest who counselled us

said we've been cursed by a family.

Oh, no!

Neither I nor my family

have ever cursed any of you.

You know something?

To be honest, what you did
actually helped me, Jose.

Are you making fun of me, sir?

Oh no, not at all.

Actually, because of what you did...

our case got settled
much sooner than expected.

Are you leaving?
Have some tea before you go.

Rani, get them some tea.

No, thanks. We're leaving.

What are you doing
these days, Jose?

He runs a bakery in town.

How's business going, Jose?

Since we don't have our own oven,

business hasn't been very good.

So you need to get an oven.

I don't have the money for that, sir.

You should get a loan
against the shop.

We already have a loan, sir.

Then I'll give you the money.

No. That wouldn't be right.

I'm serious, Jose.

Even if you didn't mean to,
what you did

ended up helping
our family a lot.

I'll give you the money.

Just pay me back when you can.

Everyone knows everything.

But what's the point, sir?

There's no evidence!

And after investigating
and failing so many times,

the police are very hesitant
to make another move.

Also,

Prabhakar and his family have
no interest in pursuing the case either.

The claim that Georgekutty gave them
what they needed for the last rites...

Is that true?

It is true, sir.

Sir, their current approach towards
the case also suggests the same.

So then, is there any point
in us pursuing this?

Sir, isn't this where
our relevance lies?

How many cases have been revived
and solved through media investigations?

Besides, we're tracking Georgekutty 24/7.

Sooner or later, we're bound
to make a breakthrough.

And if that happens...

it'll be a huge boost
for our channel.

Let's see.

[workers calculating
measurements]

How is Pathrose Chettan?

He's a little weak.

The doctor says it's a miracle
that he's made it this far.

Is he in pain?

Yes. When the pain gets bad,
we give him morphine.

-When did you return from Saudi?
-Three days ago.

-How many kids does your sister have?
-Two.

Oh!

They've moved to Baroda now, right?

Yes. Chettan was transferred there.

Has your family started looking
for a match for you?

That's actually what
I came to tell you.

My marriage has been fixed.

-Ah, wonderful.
-He works with me in Saudi.

Ramesh.

He's Hindu.

So there were a few
problems at home.

But everything's sorted now.

Inter-caste marriages
are very common these days.

It's not such a big deal any more.

That's true, but my parents
are quite old school.

And they haven't had
much exposure either.

So that's why their thinking

is a bit orthodox.

That's when we should correct them.

-Right?
-Oh!

So when is the wedding?

The eighteenth of next month.

So I wanted to come
and tell you all first.

If you need any money...

No, sir.

You've already done
so much for us.

I just came to ask
for your blessings.

Hey!

You have all our blessings
and our prayers, dear.

-Okay, then. I'll get going.
-Right.

Such a nice girl.

Learn from her!

Of course!
I need to find a nice Hindu boy!

Hmm! No surprise there!
You'll always pick up the wrong ideas!

What is this?

Bye.

I feel like I've seen
you somewhere.

-What's your name?
-Shreya.

What do you do?

I'm a nurse.

Oh. Which hospital?

Not here.
I work in Saudi Arabia.

But I'm sure I've seen you somewhere.

Where are you from?

Manimala.

Isn't Ponthanpuzha Forest
around there?

Yes. Our house is on
the border of that forest.

-Oh.
-So you know the area?

Well, my uncle works
in the Forest Department.

-Oh.
-So I've been there a few times.

So maybe that's where
I've seen you.

-So?
-Quite a catch!

-Oh, yeah?
-Her name's Shreya.

She's from Manimala.

Right next to Ponthanpuzha Forest.

But she's going to Ettumanoor now.

Did you get her address?

Nah. Asking for her address and
number would seem suspicious.

We can find the house.

We have her photo anyway.

Anju!!

-Yes?
-Looks like it's going to rain.

Bring all the clothes
in from outside.

Alright.

Take Anu with you.

She's taking a shower.

I'll get them myself.

Tea.

What happened to you, Georgekutty?

Where did you go after waking up
in the middle of the night?

Mom, I'm going to morning Mass!

-Where's Anu?
-She's not coming.

-Why?
-She says it's PMS.

Some PMS.

As if no one else gets it!

What's with her? Does she get it
every 15 days or what?

Always finding an excuse
to skip church!

Anu!

-Hey, Anu!
-Yeah! What is it, Mom?

Get up!

Why aren't you going to church?

-I have PMS!
-Oh, really? PMS?

Funny how it only
shows up every Sunday.

Sir!

I've had to deal
with all that too.

-Get up and get ready for church.
-Sir!

Huh?

Ah!
Mathayichan!

-Yes.
-Come in.

Rani!

Ah. I'll get you some tea.

No, no.
It's alright.

I've come to tell you
something urgent.

Two days ago,

by chance, I ran into
Thekkinkatt Thomachan at a wedding.

Remember that proposal
from Kanjirappally?

Yes.

Well...

while talking to Thomachan,

he told me something.

Well... here...

After they came here to see the girl,

two people called him on the phone
and told him certain things.

So that's why they
called off the proposal.

What did they say?

That... your daughter...

has some kind of mental illness,

and that she turns violent
if someone touches her.

So... that's how...

They said that's how
she killed that boy.

And not only that,

they said she would never have
a happy marriage, even if she gets married.

Apparently, this person said
that's what the doctor told them.

My God!

What lies are these!

My daughter has no such problem.

And no doctor has
said anything like that.

Mathayichan, you can
ask the doctor yourself!

Sir, I know these are lies.

But they won't believe
that, will they?

Both the people who called them
said the same thing.

It was a man...
and a woman.

I got their numbers
from Thomachan.

I tried calling several times,

but their phones
are switched off.

And you remember those
earlier proposals that fell through?

I contacted those families too.

Turns out they
also got similar calls.

Wait... do you have those phone numbers?

Yes. That's actually why I came.

Whatever it takes, we have to
find out who's behind this, sir.

This jealousy and spite people have...

It's quite unbelievable!

What kind of sick pleasure
do they get

from ruining a girl's marriage?

All the calls to those families

came from these two numbers.

Don't worry, Georgekutty.

I know some really sharp guys
in the Cyber Cell.

We'll get to the bottom of this.

This is the Ponthanpuzha
Reserve Forest.

So the police never
searched this place, sir?

It's nearly seven thousand
acres of forest.

Where do we even start?

Besides, this forest is caught up
in a legal dispute.

The government and a private party
are fighting a case over it.

Well, this worked out
pretty well for everyone,

right?

I mean, the police found a reason
to stay complacent, right?

The police haven't been complacent.

The police can't do anything
in this case based on just a hunch.

Then, there's that Georgekutty...

He's one crafty fox.

What if he came here
just to mislead the police?

I've got the addresses
for those phone numbers.

They were registered
in the names of two Tamil men.

Both of them are dead.

Most of the time,
the numbers are switched off.

And whenever they become active,

the tower location shows up

near your house, Georgekutty.

Which means the trouble is coming

from your own hometown.

We can't be sure about that, sir.

What if someone from outside

came to my town
and made those calls?

Oh!

That's possible too.

And, one more thing.

Both the numbers you gave...

were used on the same phone.

Using that phone's IMEI number,
we found something.

Until about a year ago, another number
was used on that phone.

That number is still active.

But it's now linked
to a different IMEI number.

Which means he must
have sold the phone.

That means, the caller is using
a second-hand phone.

Doesn't that seem a bit planned?

Do we have the address

of the number that's active now?

It's registered
in a woman's name.

Is there any point
pursuing that?

What if he didn't buy it second-hand?

What if he's just using

an old phone of his?

We can't rule out any possibility, sir.

Shanthi,

Karakkunnil House,

Ilanji.

Oh no!

Do you know her?

Hubby!

Oh, God!

How dare you betray me,
you bloody dog!

-What have I done?
-Cut the act!

You and your wife...

were sabotaging every proposal for my
daughter. You thought I wouldn't find out?

I won't spare anyone
who tries to destroy my family.

Are you the only one with a family?

Are you the only one?

What did you say?

That my husband betrayed you?

And what did you do
to this poor man?

The man who trusted you
and stood by you.

Weren't you the one
who betrayed him?

Because he helped you,

my husband lost his job.

Our family starved.

My daughter's education was ruined!

In that despair,
she tried to kill herself.

She lost her voice.

Did you know any of that?

But how would you!

You rich people don't need to know
the pain of poor people like us.

And yet this poor man stood by
your side without blaming you.

Do you know why?

He believed you would
come and help us.

Did you ever once
think about him?

In the end, he had
to come and beg you.

What did you think?

That he came begging
for a role in your film?

Or to take some
charity from you?

He came to make you feel
what it means to be stabbed in the back.

So when the chance came,

-we joined in too.
-Shanthi!

Stop it. Go inside!

Shanthi! Go inside!

I hope everything
is clear now, sir.

You may leave.

I made a mistake, sir.

I shouldn't have forgotten him.

In my desperation
to protect my family...

I forgot about him.

Who's perfect here, Georgekutty?

People make mistakes.

What matters is accepting them
and setting them right.

That's what makes a good man.

I'm tired, sir.

This battle of mine
began the day I was born.

I had no one to call my own.

Through years of toil and struggle,
I forged this family for myself.

When a moment came
that could shatter it,

I acted without a second thought.

In the process, I did not realise
how many people I had hurt.

Now I am scared, sir.

I don't know who else
is out there like this.

We're all just catalysts, Georgekutty.

Every life has
its share of good and bad.

And certain people become
the catalysts for them.

For all the suffering
that came into your life,

Varun was that catalyst.

Likewise, even in Rajan's life,
trouble was bound to come.

It was inevitable.

And for that...

you happened to be the catalyst.

One thing must rot
for another to grow.

That's the law of nature.

We can't stop it.

Georgekutty...

Don't let something trivial like this

break you, Georgekutty.

All the trouble's over, isn't it?

Now try to live in peace.

Nothing is over, sir.

Someone is after me.

That's just in your head, Georgekutty.

And even if someone is,

you will overcome that as well.

That's all.

Earlier, I knew exactly who the problem
was, and what the problem was.

Now that clarity is gone.

But I'm sure of one thing.

Someone is after me.

You're right.

We should never have forgotten him.

But it just happened.

It wasn't intentional, was it?

Georgekutty, don't take this to heart.

You know what your problem is?

You've never harmed
anyone until now,

and now you can't accept
that you're the reason

for what happened
to Rajan's family.

Georgekutty, just get
this out of your head!

Have you told the kids?

No, I haven't.

Don't tell them!

Ugh!

Ever since you made that film,
our lives have been miserable!

Scriptwriters keep
swarming the house!

Even when I tell them we're not making
any more films, they just won't listen.

Phew! I got quite a scare
last night!

It was after midnight,

I got up to use the toilet.

And there, near the place
where we grow the plantains,

I saw a torchlight.

I grabbed our torch
and flashed it there.

Then it disappeared.

Must've been someone trying
to steal a bunch of plantains.

I went and checked this morning.

Not a single bunch was missing.

You must've flashed the torch
before he could take anything.

You probably scared him off.

We should set some kind of trap.

The ones who come to steal
these plantains

are just poor petty thieves.

They're probably just hungry.

I don't think they're so poor.

I think they had their eyes
on the whole farm!

While I was in the bathroom, I heard
a jeep start up and drive off.

Georgekutty?

-Georgekutty!
-Huh?

Coming!

Sir had asked me
to come urgently.

Sit down, Mathayichettan.
I'll call Georgekutty.

Okay.

Georgekutty!

Mathayichettan is here.

-When did you get here?
-Just now, sir.

Sit down, sit down.

Well, why did you ask me
to come so urgently?

About that phone number,
did you find anything?

I've passed it on.
We'll get some information soon.

The reason I called you...

We can consider proposals
from abroad for Anju.

What do you think?

That's a very good decision, sir.

It's best for your
daughter's future.

There was one very good match.

They're looking for a girl born
and raised in the countryside.

Let me check
if that boy got married.

Even if that doesn't work out,
I have other options.

Anyway, the sooner the better.

Right.

And one more thing... Let's not
discuss this over the phone anymore.

We'll talk in person.

Right. Okay.

-I'll get going then.
-Right.

Okay, sir.

Pack a bag for one day.

I have to go to Ernakulam.

I may not be back
until tomorrow.

Georgekutty...

What happened to you?

Anyway, I'm glad.

I thought a lot
about it last night.

And I realised you had a point.

Let the kids create their own world.

And tell the younger one...

to go ahead
with her Singapore admission.

What?

What happened overnight?

You've changed so much, Georgekutty!

Enough of that affection.
Go pack my clothes.

Go on!

Chetta!

Have you seen this girl?

For the whole lot,
it'll be about 40/15.

-Just list everything.
-Okay.

The house needs
to be painted, right?

That's just moss, Chetta.
A good scrub will clean it off.

That's all it needs.

Shall we put up
an arch in front?

-Over there?
-Yes.

Dad!

I found that girl's house.

Whatever it is, you can tell me.

I have a problem.

I was in a serious relationship
for about two years.

Then recently,

when he tried to get intimate,

I reacted in a way
I couldn't even understand.

I... I resisted fiercely.

I got violent... I hurt him...

And he walked out of the room.

Later, when I thought
about it, I felt horrible guilt.

I called him and apologised.

Eventually, I managed
to sort it out.

But later, the same thing
happened again.

And that was the end
of the relationship.

I went into a depression.

This... What's happening to me...
I just don't understand.

Because of this,

I don't think a married life
will ever be possible for me, Doctor.

Okay.

This is called
female sexual aversion.

Also known as sexual frigidity.

It can be caused by various
physical and psychological factors.

I will explain.

I am Sahadevan.

I know.

I've come to get some
information from you, Sabu.

Come in, let's sit inside.

There are many different
situations like this.

What we need to find,
is its root cause.

For that, we first need to know

whether the root cause
is physical

or psychological.

Do you have

any childhood trauma
related to this?

If you ask me,
I don't really know.

But recently,
I saw a news report on YouTube,

and it really disturbed me.

What news?

It said the girl in the Varun case
had the same problem,

and that's what caused
that boy's death.

Ever since then,
I've been terrified.

To be honest, it's become
a trauma for me.

There's nothing wrong with that girl.

Do you believe everything
you read online is true, Yami?

Of course not.

But after I saw that report,
I did some research.

And many people
said it was true.

His name is Avira.

Thirty years old.

He's a single child.

His father is a college professor.

His mother is a housewife.

The family is well-respected.

After completing his M.Tech,
he worked for a company in Dubai.

Now he runs
his own business there.

And...

they too come from
a middle-class background,

but after the business took off,
they're doing very well now.

That's why they're keen on a simple girl
born and raised in the countryside.

They've been looking for a bride
for four or five years now.

-And a...
-Hey!

Is something wrong
with his hearing?

Look! He's wearing a hearing aid!

Oh no!

I thought it was an earphone.

See!

Well, sir,
that's the only minor issue.

About four or five years ago,
an accident left him

with a slight hearing problem
in his right ear.

But now that he wears a hearing aid,
he can hear perfectly well.

You've told them everything
about us, haven't you?

Yes. I've told them everything, sir.

The boy's parents just want him
to get married at the earliest.

And... he would like to meet Anju.

Alright. Just tell me when.

Alright, sir.

Georgekutty!

-Huh?
-Well...

If he cannot hear...

It's not like he cannot hear...

Didn't he say that he only has
a slight hearing loss in his right ear?

And that too was
due to an accident.

Let me first find out whether
what they've said is really true.

We can decide the rest after that.

And even if what
Mathayichan said is true...

is it really such a big flaw?

In that case, isn't wearing
glasses a flaw too?

Don't we wear glasses
because our eyesight is poor?

But since it's
so common among us,

-we don't consider it a flaw anymore.
-That's true.

In the end, it's Anju
who has to decide this.

If you feel this is a flaw,
we won't go ahead with this match.

I don't see it as a flaw, Dad.

-Hello!
-I am Dr. Ranjini.

Yes. Tell me, Doctor.

A girl came in for
a consultation here today.

But the purpose of her visit
was something else.

-Ah!
-Yes, sir.

What's the status
of your suspension now?

Two more months left, sir.

Where's Saritha now?

She's in Kalpetta, sir.

What are you doing here?

I came to tell you something, sir.

Go on.

Sahadevan came to see me, sir.

Which Sahadevan?

From the Varun case...

Why?

-Hello, sir!
-Hi.

-Josetta...
-Get the items on this list.

They're coming to see
your daughter today, right?

-Yes.
-Hello, Chetta.

Jose, come!

Thank you.

Are you interested in working
after marriage, Anju?

Well, since you asked,
I'm not someone who can sit idle.

I always like to keep myself
occupied with something.

I wasn't very keen on
him starting this business.

Besides...

a business doesn't have

the security of a regular job, does it?

But what he wanted
was more important, right?

So I didn't object.

Running a business
is not a problem.

All it takes is the will to work hard.

But what one earns
shouldn't be squandered. That's all.

He came home for Christmas,

and climbed up to hang a star.

The ladder broke, and he fell.

He landed on his head.

But with the hearing aid,

he can hear perfectly
well now, just like us.

There are no other problems.

Yeah, alright, alright.

Okay then. See you.

-Bye.
-Bye.

For my wedding,
don't expect any of this nonsense.

Sigh! We don't have
any such expectations!

-How much, Chetta?
-50 Rupees.

Oh! Shreya?
What are you doing here?

-This is my house.
-Didn't you recognise me?

We met on the bus
the other day...

Ah. Now I remember.

What are you doing here?

The jeep's radiator overheated,
so I came in to get some water.

I'll take this water there
and be right back.

Do you know this girl, dear?

The day I went to Rajakkad,

we happened to meet on the bus.

I'm surprised she still
remembers my name!

They really liked Anju
and all of you as well.

What impressed them most
was how open you were.

Especially the boy's parents.

We... what are we
supposed to give them?

Oh no. They don't have
any specific demands.

Whatever you plan to give
your daughter, you may give just that.

Also, they've invited
you to their place.

What should I tell them?

We can go in the next
couple of days, right?

-Yeah.
-Okay.

If that's the case, we can decide
the wedding date while we're there.

Yeah, that's right.

Why waste time?

Say it!

No, not now.

Err...

How about we go
this coming Sunday?

Check if it would be
convenient for them.

Okay. I'll ask them
and let you know by evening.

Here.

Keep this.

Okay.

Alright then.

Chechi, why aren't you
saying anything?

No, let's not say it now.

If you don't say it now,
it won't be right.

-I don't think--
-Then shall I say it?

-Mom!
-Hmm?

Mom, I have something to say.

Just hear me out calmly.

Don't rush into this wedding.

Give them some time
to get to know each other.

Let them spend some time
understanding each other.

Let them date for a while.

Then the wedding
can happen a year later.

One year?

Shut your mouth!

Just when we're trying to
get her married off somehow--

What is it?

-What's wrong?
-Nothing.

Dad, do we have to rush into this wedding?

What is it, dear?
You don't like the proposal?

It's not that.

Shouldn't we give them some time
to get to know each other?

She's asking that we wait
a year before the wedding.

It's not like we've
finalised anything yet, dear.

By the time we go there
and learn more about their family,

that itself will take
a couple of months.

Isn't that enough time for them
to get to know each other?

Exactly.
This is how all of us got married.

-And nothing went wrong, did it?
-Mom!

-Haven't times changed?
-Hey!

Let's talk about this later.
Go over there.

[Shreya: Dad says he needs
to meet you urgently.]

How did you get suspicious?

I first met her on the bus.

Later, she and her father came here,
saying their vehicle had broken down.

They introduced themselves
to us and left.

After that...

I found out they had been asking
about us in the neighbouring houses.

That's when I realised
that visit was no coincidence.

Could you give me a hint
about who they could be?

The neighbours said he's a policeman.

He was wearing khaki trousers.

But...

I don't think he's a policeman.

Isn't it Kuriyachan's
daughter's wedding today?

Yeah. Are you invited?

What for?

He'll go anyway.

So you're not coming?

-Of course! Let's celebrate!
-Chetta!

Do you know a C.J. Pathrose
who used to live in this town?

He left this town
about three years ago.

C.J. Pathrose?

Who is that?

He has two daughters.

One of them works
as a nurse in Saudi, I think.

Pathrose has been bedridden
with cancer for a long time.

Hey, could this be
Pathrose the gravedigger?

Yeah! One of his daughters
is a nurse.

She works somewhere abroad.

That's right. He was bedridden.

The one you're talking about
must be that gravedigger Pathrose.

What's this about, sir?

It's for a marriage proposal.

We just needed to find out
a bit more about him and his family.

We don't know them very well.

About two or three kilometres
from here...

East Maaraad.
That's where he used to live.

The best way is to ask
at that church.

He used to be
the gravedigger there.

Ah, Roshy!

-Good morning!
-Good morning!

How are the GCC collections going?

Going well, Chetta!

Anyway, considering the risk you took,
I must say, well done.

And yes, you had asked me
to check on a boy, right?

-Yes.
-Avira Chacko.

A couple of people I know,
know him.

One of them even has some
business connections with him.

He says he's a very good chap.

He had a setback
in his business a while ago,

but he bounced back quite well.

My friend says
he's very hard-working.

And what about his character?

He says he's a decent fellow.

And.. he has a couple of drinks
once in a while.

-Social drinking!
-Mm!

By the way, after the wedding,
you must come here with your family.

Definitely!

Alright then, Roshy.

-Alright then.
-Okay, okay. Thank you.

Phew! For the first time,

we actually got some
use out of a film guy.

Let's go to their house
at the earliest.

We need to warn them about the people
trying to sabotage the wedding.

I'm well aware...

that many in our force

have secured their positions
through political backing.

But lately,

I've been noticing

this very strange and unprecedented
tendency among such recruits.

It has evolved
into a sort of partisan rivalry.

You all should understand this.

The collapse of a nation,

a democracy in particular,

begins when its military
and police force become politicised.

Of course, I acknowledge
your political leanings.

But the nation must always come first.

Everything else should be secondary.

Otherwise, the ones
who'll suffer the consequences

will be the next generation,
your children included.

And it will result
in the complete destruction

of the very system that we live in

and look up to.

I hope you get the point.

-Philip...
-Sir?

Do you know Sahadevan
from the Varun case?

I don't know him personally, sir.

I've only heard of him.

Err... Antony might know him.

Antony!

Sir!

Do you know anything about Sahadevan,
the one who was dismissed in the Varun case?

Yes, sir.

He's working as a broker now,
dealing in cars and real estate.

I hear he's a heavy drinker now.

He'll take on any dirty job,
as long as it pays.

-Have someone check him out.
-Yes, sir.

I want his full file on my desk
as soon as possible.

-Got that?
-Sir.

-Okay.
-Okay.

Okay, sir.

What's the matter, sir?

Sabu told me that Sahadevan
went to see him recently

and tried to get more details
about the case.

-Sabu?
-Yeah, the same old guy.

I need to find out
what Sahadevan is after.

If he starts stirring things up,
that'll be our next headache.

The media had more or less
forgotten about it.

I don't think so, sir.

It's actually gaining a lot
of traction on social media lately.

Hmm, I've heard that too.

I need to know if that
has anything to do with this.

-Got it?
-Sir.

-Achaya, they're here.
-Are they here?

-Yes, yes.
-Coming.

-How was the journey?
-All good.

-Welcome.
-Yeah.

Come, dear...

Hello!

Please come.

Come in.

That's my work space.

Mathayi told us everything.

And we already knew quite a bit
about it from the newspapers.

Something like this could
happen in any family, right?

Anyway, we'll go with
whatever Avira decides.

People are saying all sorts of things
just to wreck our daughter's marriage.

That's why

we insisted
that you be fully informed.

We don't want it
to become an issue later on.

I'm only saying this
because you've been so honest with us.

To tell you the truth,

we were a bit sceptical
when we first heard about it.

But it was Avira
who convinced us.

In that case, let's get this done
as quickly as possible, shall we?

-Yes.
-We would like that too.

Alright then.

Why do you look like
you've been stung by a wasp?

I just wanted to get
out of there somehow.

What happened?

How many times have I asked you
to renovate our house?

Oh, is that
what's bothering you?

We're going to do it now,
aren't we?

Even their kitchen
is as big as our whole house!

Listen, this kind of inferiority
complex isn't healthy.

They agreed to this marriage
knowing exactly who we are.

Oh, please! It's the result
of my prayers!

Fine, if you say so.

Anyway, this wedding
is happening, right?

Georgekutty!

Yeah? What is it?

Give that sheet to Mohan Chettan
and come over here!

The wedding's been fixed,
and you're doing nothing about it?

Just tell me what you want.

Shouldn't we make a list
of relatives to invite?

You do it.

I don't really have
any relatives anyway.

I've only got a few friends
and neighbours to invite.

And the theatre staff.

All my relatives
must be invited in person.

-That's not necessary.
-Huh?

Just call everyone
over the phone.

And send the invite on WhatsApp.

Dad!

-I got the admission!
-Ah!

-That's my girl!
-Thank you!

-Where is it? Let me see.
-What?

-The admission letter...
-Like you'd be able to read it!

-Get lost!
-Hello?

It's Chackochan here.

Something amusing
happened here today.

What was it?

Two fellows came here
to sabotage the wedding.

What?!

They came in a jeep.

One of them stayed in the jeep.

I gave them a piece of my mind
and sent them packing.

Any idea who they might be?

As soon as Avira tried to take
a picture in his phone,

he ran off
and jumped into the jeep.

I've sent the photo
and the jeep's registration number

to you on WhatsApp.

Okay then... Okay.

Shall we schedule
next month's session

-for December 10th?
-Okay.

-Is it okay?
-Okay.

Thank you, Doctor.

-Doctor...
-Yes?

Please wait for ten minutes.
I'll call you.

Oh, I'm not here for a consultation.

I've come to collect a file.

-A file?
-Yes.

I'm with the police.

Which file?

Err... Anju George's file.

Which Anju George?

Listen, Doctor,

I don't have time
for all this drama.

Georgekutty's daughter, Anju.

-Without a court order--
-Stop!

I'm well aware of the law, Doctor.

Like I said,
I don't have time for this.

Sorry, I can't hand it over
without a court order.

Hold on.

You're going to make things
difficult for me, aren't you?

-What are you doing?
-Shush!

Not a word!

I'll skin you alive!

If you give it to me yourself,
I'll take it and be on my way.

Otherwise, I'll just kill you,

and take it anyway.

So what's it going to be?

I'll hand it over.

You need to make

a few changes in this,
the way I tell you to.

And no one apart from the two of us
should know about this.

If you try to act smart
by telling anyone,

your daughter,
who studies at St. Mary's College,

might not make it home one day.

Understood?

I won't tell anyone.

When did this happen?

About an hour ago.

I'm still trembling,
Georgekutty.

Can you give me any idea
who it might have been?

I have no clue who he is.

He claimed he was from the police.

He was wearing police boots
and khaki trousers.

And he was so drunk!

He can't possibly
be from the police.

Anyway, he's a man
who looks capable of anything.

You should file
a police complaint, Doctor.

No, no! I can't do that.

He'll do something
to my daughter.

I only called to inform you
about this, Georgekutty.

I'm sorry, Georgekutty.

I had no other option.

Hello? Hello?

Listen...

Rani and the girls
shouldn't know about this.

Okay.

-Georgekutty...
-Yeah?

Why did Dr. Ranjini call?

Huh?

Wh... who?

Is something wrong?

What? What's wrong?

Anju said the doctor called
while you were eating,

and you rushed outside
with your phone.

Yeah...

She just called to check on Anju.

But why did you have
to go outside for that?

Err... to meet Jose!

-Yes, Jose...
-But...

doesn't the doctor usually call me?

She couldn't get through to you.

So she called me instead.

If you don't believe me,
just ask the doctor! What is this?

What did you find?

It's an older model Jeep.

It's had three or four previous owners.

The last registered owner
is a man from Ponnani.

I went there
and made some inquiries.

He sold the jeep about a year ago

to a man named Sahadevan
from Kothamangalam.

But the ownership
hasn't been transferred yet.

-Sahadevan?
-Yes.

From what I gathered,
he's a real estate broker.

Well, look who's here!
Georgekutty?

It's been years since we crossed paths,

but thanks to TV and social media,
I've been keeping track of you.

So, what brings you here?

She is my daughter.

Sahadevan...

I have never wronged you
deliberately.

Whatever happened in your life
is the result of your own actions.

I know exactly what your intention is.

You can hurt me
however you want.

But if you harm my family,
I won't remain silent.

Don't try to threaten me.

Who the hell
do you think you are?

You and your family walked free
from that boy's murder case

by sheer luck!

And then a bunch
of filthy news channels

turned you into
some kind of hero.

Don't let all that fame
go to your head.

You've never played with someone

who truly knows the game.

But now, you're going to be playing

against me.

So this is your game?
Going around ruining girls' marriages?

But I'm not surprised,
Sahadevan.

You've played these
filthy games before too.

I wouldn't expect
anything better from you.

You're damn right.

I'll play any dirty game
if that's what it takes to win.

So you better watch out.

I want to see how you'll
send your daughter away

and still live peacefully
in this town.

I don't think that will be
possible, Georgekutty.

Tapping someone's phone

is very different from
tracking a number and details.

I just want to keep track of their moves
until my daughter's wedding is over.

That's all.

I can't promise anything.

-But I'll try.
-Okay.

If they get caught,
they could lose their jobs.

Well, Georgekutty... Do you really
have to be so scared of him?

I never underestimate anyone.

Even a small thorn
can make you limp, sir.

-Please don't hurt my father, sir!
-Tell the truth!

-Speak up!
-Let him go, sir!

Whose skeleton did you
give to Georgekutty?

Get out!

-I know it was you who gave it to him!
-Sir! Please!

I've come here after finding out all the
tricks you and Georgekutty pulled together.

-Tell me!
-Sir! Please, sir!

Move aside!

Say it!

If you don't speak, I'll kill you
and bury you right here!

Dad!

Where do you think you're going?

Get back inside!

Please, don't hurt my daughter!

Hey! You better start talking!

Talk!

Or I'll butcher you both and burn
this house to the ground with you in it!

Do you want that, huh?

Talk!

I'll tell you.

Tell me.

Then there's Babuchayan from Paika.

Who are all these people?

Do we really need
to invite them?

-He is my mother's first cousin!
-Your grandma's...!

We must invite them to both
the betrothal and the wedding.

-Who in Paika?
-Babuchayan.

Who else was there?

Huh!

-Want to do it?
-No, thanks.

Where's Anju, dear?

She still hasn't given me
her friends' list.

Chechi is on the phone
with your future son-in-law.

It's only been two hours so far.

Dad, one more thing.

Let's hire a good event management
team to handle the function.

-Wouldn't that be better?
-That's not necessary.

It is necessary.

We have to keep up
with the times.

Georgekutty, when in Rome,
do as the Romans do.

Funny how that one proverb never
seems to keep up with the times.

-Come. You finish the rest.
-Huh!

Sit down here.

-Sit down and write this!
-Dad...

Shucks!

If he would just switch
that phone off,

half the problems
in this house would be gone.

When did it happen?

It happened this morning, sir.

Sir...

When I saw him hurting my daughter,

I ended up telling him everything, Sir.

Pass the phone to your daughter.

Hello, sir.

Are you alright, dear?

I'm alright, sir,
but I was really frightened.

When people came running
hearing the noise,

he ran away immediately.

One of the neighbours called the police.

The policemen who came
asked me to go to the station

and file a complaint.

What should I do?

Anyway, the police
know about it now, right?

So go ahead
and file the complaint.

It wouldn't be a good idea
for me to come there.

-I'll send someone else.
-No need, sir.

I'll just go with Mom
once she gets here.

Okay.

Good evening, sir.

Good evening.
What is it, Philip?

Sir, there's been
an interesting development.

Philip, I want to see him.

Understood?

No, no.
Don't bring him to my office.

If the media gets wind of this,
that'll be the next headache.

Do this instead.

Bring him to the guest house.

-Okay, sir.
-One more thing...

This stays strictly
between the two of us.

Okay?

What is your intention?

We've been informed

that you've been going around
pretending to be a police officer

and making enquiries.

He wants to know
why you did that.

I didn't tell anyone
I'm a policeman, sir.

But yes, I have been
making some enquiries.

What exactly
are you enquiring about?

You already know that, sir.
Then why ask?

Just answer the question!

To find out where
Georgekutty moved Varun's body.

I see!

So? Did you find anything?

We've received a complaint

that you broke into a house

and assaulted a dying man
and his daughter!

Who are they?

Why did you attack them?

Tell me!

Philip, there's no point
talking to him.

The complainant is a girl, right?

Yes, sir.

Charge him under BNS 74
and lock him up.

That's the only way he'll learn.

Could you spare
five minutes for me, sir?

Geetha...

Look who's here.

Don't you recognise me, Geetha?

It's your friend, Geetha.

IG Thomas Bastin.

How are you doing, Geetha?

Meera...

Did Geetha eat anything?

She ate a little
when I insisted, sir.

Okay then. I'll call you later.

How did it get worse
all of a sudden?

When we were leaving
after our son's funeral,

I thought we'd move to the US
and start afresh.

But I was wrong.

She broke down crying,

saying I had never
done anything for her

and that I never stood by her.

After that, she slowly stopped
talking to me.

She stopped going out.

She wouldn't speak even to people
who visited our house.

I took her to several psychiatrists.

-She refused to--
-Please sit.

to take medication.

Please, sit down.

Doctors say it's the guilt of not
being able to get justice for her son,

and the thought that even I,
his own father, didn't stand by her,

that pushed Geetha into this state.

If I lose her too, Bastin,
I'll be left with no one.

I've never done anyone any harm.

And yet, what did I get in return?

That's when I realised
none of it meant anything.

Now I have only one goal.

This case has to be solved,
somehow.

Are you planning to do something
this state's police force couldn't do,

using a policeman who was
dismissed on disciplinary grounds?

That is precisely his qualification, sir.

I would never underestimate
the ability of this state's police force.

After all, my wife was once
one of your own, right?

Look...

Sahadevan has a deep vendetta
against that family.

It was the testimony
of those two children

that ultimately cost him his job.

And of course, his violent nature.

He is not the kind of person
you can trust, Mr. Prabhakar.

He is a loose character.

He is a loose cannon.

He is a rogue!

That's precisely why I picked him.

The law and its enforcers
have their limitations.

Those limits don't apply to Sahadevan.

I thought we had agreed
to put this behind us.

Then why?

Bastin, I lost my son.

Now I'm losing my wife!

I have to bring Geetha
back, somehow.

For that, I'll do
whatever it takes.

We've lost everything.

And yet the people
responsible for it

are going about their lives
as if nothing happened.

I can't accept that.

They should feel our pain.

And I'll make damn sure they do.

Deep down, I know you want them
brought to justice too.

So why don't you
join forces with me?

As the officer
who led that investigation,

and as Geetha's close friend,
I want the same too.

But using a thug
like Sahadevan to do it...

that is where I disagree.

-Bastin...
-Because I just don't trust him.

Bastin, I know Sahadevan
better than you do.

He is my responsibility.

All he wants is money.

So he won't go against my word.

We've been after Georgekutty
for quite some time now.

And he has made some breakthrough.

You need to hear
what he has to say, sir.

Please!

Who said you could sit?

Tell the officer
what you've found, Sahadevan.

I found the man who gave
the skeleton to Georgekutty.

He confessed it.

Who is he?

A man named Pathro.

He was the gravedigger
at the parish cemetery.

He even told me whose skeleton
he dug up and handed over.

And...

I have a fairly good idea

where Georgekutty
must have hidden Varun's remains.

But before I could confirm it,

you had me hauled in here, Sir.

Tell him exactly what
you know, Sahadevan.

It's buried right under
Pathro's house,

along the boundary of the
Ponthanpuzha Reserve Forest.

But I don't think
Pathro had any idea about it.

And why do you think so?

Sir, you know the route

Georgekutty took from Kottayam
with Varun's remains, right?

That twenty-cent plot of land

on the reserve forest boundary
where Pathro's house is...

It was Georgekutty
who purchased that land

five years ago.

And he bought it
in Pathro's name.

To be precise,

shortly after Pathro gave
Georgekutty the skeleton,

Georgekutty laid the foundation
for a house there.

Later, when he got Varun's remains,
he buried them there.

Pathro's younger daughter
studied nursing,

and Georgekutty covered the expenses.

Later, once she got a job abroad,

he had her take a housing loan
to justify the source of the money.

Then he finished the remaining
work on the house

and moved the family there.

Georgekutty paid for everything.

But his name isn't
on any of the documents.

But I'm certain of it, sir.

We can find the evidence
to prove it.

Prabhakar, trust me here.

We also got as far as
the Ponthanpuzha Reserve Forest.

But after that, we had our own
reasons not to pursue it any further.

What reasons?

We all know

Georgekutty is the kind of man
who tries to mislead the police.

-Right?
-Yes.

Now let me ask you
a very commonsensical question.

Would a man like that

carry his phone while leaving
the Kottayam Forensic Office

with the skeleton?

He would definitely know
the police would be tracking it.

What you said is correct, sir.

But would anyone really buy
a twenty-cent plot of land

and lay the foundation for a house
there just to mislead the police?

How many people would bury a body
in an unfinished police station

in the middle of the night
after committing a murder?

Tell me!

So don't underestimate him.

Everyone keeps talking about
how brilliant Georgekutty is.

But is it really true?

If that police station
wasn't being built there back then,

what would he have done?

As for his "planning"...

He was able to move
my son's remains from there

only because he had
many years on his side.

Luck!

It's sheer luck that he got away
with it for this long!

So he shouldn't get
that advantage anymore.

Everything you've said could be true.

But you need to understand one thing.

We have a chance

only if we can somehow link
Georgekutty to Varun's remains.

But unfortunately,

the police don't believe
it can still be found.

Sir...

It's buried under
that house, sir.

I'm absolutely sure.

You wait outside.

I'm not supposed to say this.

But I think I should... now.

During our investigation,

there's something we found,

that you're not aware of.

Let me tell you.

On the day Varun's remains
were discovered at the police station,

Georgekutty bought

a 35-litre can of acid
from a shop in his town.

For a rubber farmer, buying
that much acid isn't unusual.

Some farmers purchase
a year's supply in one go.

He owns

about four acres
of rubber plantation.

A farmer with that much land

would typically need four to five
litres of acid each month.

Yet even after buying
those 35 litres,

Georgekutty continued purchasing
five litres every month.

So why would he have needed
that 35 litres of acid

I understand what you're saying, sir.

Still,

wouldn't we find
at least some remains?

Don't they say

God's invisible hand
leaves a trace in every case?

We can't rule anything out.

Besides, for them
to be punished under the law,

do we really need
to find the body?

So many cases
have been proven here

using circumstantial evidence.

Isn't that right?

Looks like you've already
made up your mind!

Don't we have to survive too, Bastin?

Georgekutty is planning
to get his daughter married

and send her abroad.

If she leaves the country,

all our efforts so far
will be in vain.

The betrothal is next Sunday.

The wedding will be
within a month after that.

So,

now he is busy and distracted.

Bastin, I will take
the responsibility of my actions.

And if we win,

you can enjoy the fruit!

Are you with me or not?

On one condition.

One of my men...

will always be with you.

In accordance with the law of Christ
and the rites of the Holy Church,

do you solemnly pledge
to take Anju as your lawful wife,

of your own free will
and with full consent?

I do.

Dad, let us handle
things from here.

We'll plan the wedding arrangements.

Yes, the wedding can't
end up like the engagement.

Alright, alright.

Mom, is this okay?

What's up, Jose?

Pathro's witness statement alone
won't be sufficient.

The skeleton's DNA must match

the DNA of the parents
of the boy Pathro mentioned.

Anu!

Anu!!

What is it?

Why can't you just fold
your own clothes?

How many times have I told you not to leave
the washed clothes on the dining table?

I leave them here hoping you'll fold them
at least before you sit down to eat!

Now fold them!

-Oh, and Georgekutty...
-Yes?

We'll do all the shopping
in Ernakulam.

Why go all the way to Ernakulam?

Don't we have good shops
in Thodupuzha?

No, we have to go to Ernakulam.

We'll buy the gold
from Kalyan Jewellers.

Kalyan Jewellers is in
Thodupuzha as well, right?

The groom's family
is shopping in Ernakulam.

So we've planned
to shop together.

Oh really? Who planned that?

Your elder daughter!

So be it!

How long ago did it happen?

Six years ago, sir.

What was the cause of death?

It occurred in an accident
during a family dispute.

We'll need your blood samples.

It's for a DNA test.

Is he stupid enough
to leave his trail in documents?

I don't know.

But even the most intelligent
men can make mistakes.

What we need now

are credible witness statements
linking Georgekutty to these deals.

The office where
the registration was done,

the person who drafted
the house deed,

the architect of the house,

the contractor who built the house...

These could all
be potential leads for us.

By the way...

didn't you tell them
the bride and groom

will be coming here
after the wedding?

Mom...

That's not what we have planned.

After the wedding,

they'll leave in the new car
Dad's buying for them,

with a "Just Married" board on it,

and head straight to
Misty Mountain Resort.

After that, they'll come home
two days later.

That's not possible.

After the wedding,

the couple must enter either
the bride's or the groom's house

making the sign of the cross.

-That's the tradition.
-What tradition?

These are outdated thoughts!

Misty Mountain is very close
to our place, Mom.

We'll be back in two days anyway.

Can't we just have the ceremony
when we return?

Yeah! These days people fly abroad
right after the wedding!

Don't you always say we should
keep up with the times, Mom?

So? Does that mean you can do
whatever nonsense you like?

-Didn't you agree to let us handle it?
-Sir... good morning.

-Then why talk like this now?
-Georgekutty...

Phone tapping isn't possible.

No one is willing to do it.

If anything goes wrong,

they won't just lose their job,
they'll end up in jail as well.

-It's a serious offence.
-Dad, look at this.

Hey! Let them decide
whatever they want!

You stay out of it!

No... wait...

-Georgekutty...
-Hello?

Yeah.

Damn it!

Never mind. Just eat your food.

I can't figure out
what their plan is, sir.

If Sahadevan were acting alone,
I wouldn't be concerned.

But Sabu is with him too.

That means we can confirm that
the police are also involved in this.

What do you think, sir?

That could very well be the case.

If Sahadevan is used as the front
and something works out,

the police will take advantage of it.

If it backfires,

they'll place the blame on
Sahadevan and distance themselves.

I made some enquiries.

I don't think the police
have found any new evidence.

Should we apply
for anticipatory bail?

That's only necessary
if the police reopen the case.

I don't know about all that.

Anju's wedding...

has to happen.

If you are that worried,
I'll apply for anticipatory bail.

That way we can confirm whether
the police are making a move.

Okay.

You focus on the wedding,
Georgekutty.

I'll take care
of everything else here.

This evidence and these testimonies
point to Georgekutty.

And the boy's DNA match.

That's a strong piece of evidence.

But...

now we must ensure two things.

First...

These testimonies must reach
the court exactly as they are.

Second...

We have to find Varun's remains.

The second one

will be our biggest challenge.

Aren't those matters
we can deal with later?

Right now our priority is to stop
this wedding by any means.

It seems he has some
suspicions about our moves.

Georgekutty has applied
for anticipatory bail,

and its instruction arrived
at his police station today.

It's an attempt to find out
whether the case has been reopened.

They'll send it back tomorrow
stating there's no intent to arrest.

But if we want to take them
into custody for questioning,

we'll have to reopen the old case.

Then they'll apply
for anticipatory bail again.

So what do we do now?

There's only one way.

The wedding is on
Monday the 25th, right?

Yes.

We'll reopen the case
on the 23rd, Saturday.

The same day,
we'll take them into custody.

The next day is Sunday,
so the courts will be closed.

And the day after that
is the wedding.

Even if they file for anticipatory bail,

for the instruction to reach the local
police station and return to court,

it will take at least a week.

Georgekutty...

You, your wife Rani,

and your daughters Anju and Anu
need to come with us now.

-For what?
-It's regarding the Varun case.

Wasn't that quashed
by the High Court?

The case has been reopened
based on new evidence.

My wife and children aren't here.

Where have they gone?

Georgekutty, you'd better
cooperate with us.

I could say the same to you.

Hello, sir.

We have a problem.

There's a court order stating that

we cannot arrest them without
first serving a 41A notice.

How did he manage to get
such an order?

Chances are, he requested
it from the court

when the anticipatory bail
was disposed of.

If so, shouldn't the police station
receive a copy?

The police haven't received any copy.

The liaison officer at that court
is supposed to notify it.

That usually takes some time.

Then let's serve the notice
and bring them in, sir.

That won't work, Mr. Prabhakar!

He has figured out
our game plan.

If we don't handle this carefully,
the department will be disgraced.

I'll have to answer to my superiors.

Without a court order,
I can't be part of this anymore.

Understood?

Unfortunately, there are
more loopholes than solutions

in our legal system, Mr. Prabhakar.

Let me think!

Here's what we'll do.

We'll serve them
a notice tomorrow

asking them to appear
for questioning on Monday.

Of course, they'll approach the court.

That's where we have to play
a really solid game.

Do you like it?

Hey! You're still
sitting here talking?

It's time. Let's go.

It's time to seek blessings
and leave the house.

Didn't I tell you?
You should've worn a kurta.

Hey...

What happened, Georgekutty?

You don't seem very happy.

It's nothing.

Is it because Anju
is leaving home?

It's not that.

Sir, I had filed
an anticipatory bail application.

A notice under Section 35
was issued in that matter.

The police hurriedly served
the notice yesterday

asking them to appear today.

The moment the notice
was served,

we filed a fresh bail application
and got the matter numbered.

Sir, kindly take up
that matter first.

Mention it when
the Bench assembles.

Yes, sir.

But the court may not hear it
unless the PP has instructions, right?

How can we proceed
without police instructions, Renuka?

That's how it works
in every case, isn't it?

Yes, sir.

It's a case you're
familiar with, sir.

The petitioner is Georgekutty
from the Varun Prabhakar murder case.

-Are they reopening that case?
-Yes, sir.

The police are once again trying
to harass that poor man and his family.

It's his daughter's wedding today, sir.

This is clearly an attempt
to disrupt it.

Otherwise, why issue a notice
asking him to appear today itself?

-Public Prosecutor!
-Sir.

An anticipatory bail moved
by Renuka is listed today.

I'm aware, sir.
Renuka informed me.

So what's the difficulty?

But, sir...

The instruction
has to be received first.

I suggested posting it
after a week.

PP, it's his daughter's wedding today.

Why are you so adamant
that he should appear today itself?

No, sir. I'm not adamant.

But without instructions
from the police,

what can I do, sir?

You can get instructions
over the phone today.

Yes.

Anyway, I'm listing this
as the first case of the day.

-Yes, sir.
-Get instructions before that.

-Sir.
-And one more thing...

Inform them that no forceful measures
should be taken until this case is heard.

The offence is Section 302, IPC.

It was only due to lack of evidence
and sheer luck

that Georgekutty managed
to evade the law the last two times.

However, this time
the police have reopened the case

on the basis of clear evidence
and witness statements.

Hence, if the Honourable Court
grants Georgekutty anticipatory bail

considering the past circumstances,

he will definitely tamper the evidence
and influence the witnesses.

My Lord,

custodial interrogation
is necessary for the police

to proceed further
with the investigation.

Hence, I vehemently oppose
this bail application.

Your Lordship...

Past circumstances!

Everyone in this court
is well aware of them.

This new report placed before
the Honourable Court

is nothing but an act of revenge
for the humiliation and failure

the police suffered on
the last two occasions.

The Honourable Court
should not overlook

the police's stubborn insistence
on arresting Georgekutty today,

the very day of his daughter's wedding,

even though he has cooperated

with every investigation so far,
without any hesitation.

The police are waiting for an order
to halt a young woman's wedding.

Lordship,

what if this marriage itself
is yet another deception by Georgekutty?

Once he realised that the police
had obtained new evidence,

Georgekutty quickly fixed
his daughter's marriage

to someone working abroad.

This may be suspected to be
a calculated move by Georgekutty

to send his daughter
out of the country for good.

To prevent that, a condition can be imposed
that the passport be surrendered, right?

There's absolutely no need
to halt the wedding!

Lordship, there is
another serious issue.

If this marriage takes place,

another serious risk may arise.

My Lord!

This is the medical report
issued by Anju's psychologist.

Once the court reads it,
everything will be clear.

As per the report,

she is having sexual aversion.

If someone approaches her
with sexual desire,

she may become violent
while resisting it.

Perhaps this itself may have led
to Varun Prabhakar's murder.

Lordship, as a woman
I'm deeply disturbed

by what is being
placed on record!

A baseless document
has been produced before this court

to violate the rights of an adult woman

to live as a wife and mother
after marriage.

That too on her wedding day itself!

Milord, I strongly doubt the veracity
of this so-called medical report.

Lordship,

they may be granted
one week's time after today's wedding.

They can be questioned thereafter.

They will appear wherever
the police require them to.

They will fully cooperate
with the investigation.

Forget a week,
not even a single day should be granted!

Lordship, this wedding itself
should not be permitted.

What should matter more,
protecting a life or someone's emotions?

The Honourable Court must decide that.

Interim bail granted
until next hearing.

The police shall not arrest him
until the next hearing.

Let the wedding proceed for now.

Don't be so upset, Prabhakar.

Only the wedding
has happened so far.

That girl hasn't left
the country yet.

We still have time.

Sir...

I'm leaving.
No point staying here any longer, right?

I think I'll head out as well, sir.

-See you then.
-My car is over there.

Sir, they just left from here.

Mr. Prabhakar!

What is going on?

Everything you've seen so far
were merely diversions.

I don't believe the evidence
we've collected so far

is strong enough to punish them.

And...

to wait for more evidence
to surface,

I simply don't have time either.

Georgekutty is not some
genius classic criminal

all of you make him out to be.

Given some luck and enough time,

anyone with common sense
would have done the same.

After two years of effort,

that's exactly what
I've done now.

Everything you've seen so far
was nothing but a smokescreen

to distract him
from our real objective.

Prabhakar, I must know
what your plan is.

Of course, I'll tell you my plan...

which is already in motion!

Avira.

He is my trump card.

When financial irregularities
in his business surfaced,

and he was about to go to jail,

I rescued him by investing
in his company.

With Avira and Sahadevan's help,

I began executing my plan.

For that, I hired
a few marriage brokers,

and moved things forward.

Georgekutty's refusal to marry
his daughter to someone abroad

was the biggest challenge I faced.

But...

by creating circumstances that
forced him to change his mind,

I led Georgekutty to Avira.

A resort where I could
carry out my plan...

I identified one such resort
near Georgekutty's house.

With Avira's help,

I had Georgekutty's
daughters suggest

leaving for the honeymoon
on the wedding day itself.

-Sir... your key.
-Thank you.

Sir, please dial 9
if you need anything.

To respect guests' privacy,

we are allowed to come here
only on request.

Okay.

Once they reach the cottage,

Avira will drug the girl
and put her to sleep.

Then, with Sahadevan's help,

false evidence suggesting
the girl attacked Avira

will be planted in the room.

The next hurdle

is making sure
Georgekutty gets there.

-Georgekutty!
-Huh?

Anju, my child!

Hey! You!

You won't be able
to save your daughter.

Where are you going
this late, Georgekutty?

I'll call you back in a bit.

Don't ask anything else.

-But Georgekutty, I--
-Just do as I say, Rani!

After giving her the antidote
to bring her back to consciousness,

Avira and Sahadevan
will come out of the cottage.

Hello, is this the police station?

[POLICE STATION]

Avira!

Avira!

Anju, my dear!

-Dad!
-Anju!

What happened, dear?

What happened?

Avira...

Where's Avira?

Huh?

Look, there's blood there!

There's blood on my hands!

History repeats itself.

The daughter commits a murder,

and Georgekutty hides the body
somewhere.

But this time
there is one difference.

This time there will be

strong circumstantial
evidence against the daughter.

And then there's also
the psychologist's report on the girl.

We had tried to warn the court
about this danger.

But the court chose to ignore it.

What about that boy then?

He will return
the same way he came.

Tomorrow he leaves
for Rameswaram.

The next day, he'll sail to Sri Lanka
on a fishing boat.

From there, with a new identity,

he will go to Tunisia,
a country with barely 250 Indians.

Go and sleep peacefully, sir.

From now on,

Georgekutty and his family
will have sleepless nights!

Aren't we supposed to go that way?

This is a shortcut.

Hello?

You were deceiving me,
weren't you?

What are you talking about?

What happened?

-Tell me what's going on, Bastin.
-Where's Sahadevan?

He's not here. He's staying
at another house nearby.

Did he call you?

I told him clearly,
no communication over the phone.

What about Avira?

He might be on the way
to Rameswaram.

Are you sure?

That was my plan.

Well, things didn't go
the way you planned.

Hey!

Avira!

Avira!

Hey!

Avira!

Hey, you!

Anju!

My child!

Anju!

Oh no! Oh God!

Anju!

Anju!

Anju!

Open the door, dear!

-It's Dad! Open up!
-Hey!

Hey! Who are you?
What are you doing?

My daughter and husband
are staying in this room, sir.

Some time back,

a man named Sahadevan
called from my daughter's phone

and threatened to hurt her.

She isn't opening the door, sir!

My daughter is in there, sir!

Rashid, go get someone
from the resort staff.

We don't have time for that, sir!

Oh no!

Anju, dear!

Oh no!

Dear! My child!

Didn't I warn you
that Sahadevan isn't dependable?

From what I know of him,

he wouldn't hesitate to kill the boy
just to make the case stronger!

It's quite difficult to establish
that a living person is dead.

So,

he's got to die for real.

On the wedding night,

he tried to hurt her.

In a fit of rage,

she killed him.

And...

Georgekutty buried the body
in his backyard.

That's how the story should go.

No.

We don't need to play games
that cost a life.

His daughter must go to jail.

Georgekutty and his family
must feel that agony.

My wife needs to see that.

That's all I want.

As you wish, sir!

There is no such thing
as a perfect murder.

If that son of a gun kills the boy,
everything will spiral out of control!

I mean, when someone is killed
and the body is hidden,

there will be organic evidence
when it is eventually discovered.

That is beyond anyone's control.

It might even backfire on you.

Try calling Avira.

I told him

to leave his phone behind
at the cottage.

Sahadevan!

Saha--

Sahadev--

"But sir, how can they charge us
without any evidence?"

"The moment I studied the case,
I knew Manu would be convicted."

"Every piece of evidence
and every witness was extremely strong.

"He must have planted
a hundred pieces of evidence against you,

before leaving this body here."

What is it, Georgekutty Chetta?

-Jose!
-Yes.

Go wait near my house
immediately.

If Sahadevan turns up there,

you must follow him closely.

Georgekutty Chetta...

Where is Avira?

-Did you kill him?
-Hey!

Your plan was to kill him
and bury him in my backyard, right?

You're finished, Georgekutty!

You're finished!

You and your daughter
are going straight to jail.

Tell me!

Where the hell is Avira?

Where have you buried him?

Even if you kill me,
you'll never find him.

I'll go to jail
only after killing you!

Please don't kill me, Georgekutty!

I'll tell you everything.

-I'll tell you.
-Jose!

Talk!

It wasn't me...

This was all orchestrated by

Prabhakar sir and the IG.

But Sahadevan had other plans.

To kill that boy

and bury him in my backyard!

Why did you dig a pit
in my backyard beforehand?

Once the soil is loosened,

digging a pit becomes easier
later on.

And if I could draw
your attention to that spot,

I knew you would dig there.

I planned to record you
filling the pit

and use the footage
as evidence against you.

And that boy?

-Yes, Brother-in-law. Tell me.
-Rajesh!

Listen carefully
to what I'm going to say.

-Check that area.
-Shine the light over there!

The thief might have escaped.

We can't let him get away.

Look properly.
Look over there.

Prince, look there!

Check past those plantains.

Even after everything
we've been through,

I've always had respect
for your family.

I have Sahadevan
and his confession with me.

I'll see you in court then.

Georgekutty!

Just because of Sahadevan's confession,

no court is going to hang me.

Everything I had to lose

was taken from me by you
and your family years ago.

From now on,

I will always be after your family
in one form or another.

Luck won't always favour you,
Georgekutty.

-Anju?
-She is conscious now.

The doctor said
she's out of danger now.

-Georgekutty?
-He's inside.

Is this really necessary, Georgekutty?

Yes.

There needs to be an end to this.

We prepared ourselves for this
once before, didn't we?

But at that time,

since I wasn't ready to give up
my life with you...

Victories and happiness
don't always bring peace.

Shouldn't we be able to sleep
peacefully, at least now?

Even if it wasn't intentional,

a family was destroyed
because of us.

If this provides closure

for their loss and suffering,

then let this be the penance
we owe them.

You have become strong enough
to face these trials now.

This too shall pass.

Why this sudden decision?

It was long overdue.

Let this be over and done with
once and for all.

Sir, this must be
the end of everything.

That's the only reason
Georgekutty is agreeing to this.

This document clearly mentions how
the charge-sheet should be framed.

Only offences punishable
by less than five years

should be included
in the charge sheet.

We believe Prabhakar has understood
and agreed to these terms.

Only then will Georgekutty hand over

Sahadevan and the other evidence
you require.

Prabhakar has agreed to everything.

He is on his way now.

Would you like to meet him,
Georgekutty?

-Okay, sir. We'll leave then.
-Okay.

You have this air as if
you are doing me a favour.

Don't have that idea.

Luck...

You get away every single time
only because of sheer luck.

I know you're after
my daughter as well.

But as long as I'm alive,

don't expect that to happen.

Once again,

I'm placing my trust in you.

This must end here.

If you come after
my daughter again,

I will kill you!

-Hello?
-So you were betraying me too, sir?

-Avira?
-Put him on speaker.

-Where are you now?
-Rameshwaram.

I got here
without anyone's help.

Georgekutty came after us.

And what did you do to him?

Tell me!

Jose, catch him!

You knew Sahadevan was planning
to kill me, right?

I swear I didn't know, Avira.

Sahadevan messed everything up.

For staying with us through this,

I can't thank you enough, Advocate.

I'm asking this once again.

Is this really necessary, Georgekutty?

Do you really need to be
so afraid of them?

More than any of them...

I fear what I'm capable of.

Dear...

This is a trap.

Let's get out of here quickly, Dad.

That's exactly what
they want us to do.

Who?

Do you trust me, dear?

The police will be here any moment.

Please forgive me, dear.

I...

I don't have a choice!

Could you identify the person
who attacked you?

Yes.

An ex-policeman named Sahadevan.

Can you explain what happened
in detail?

Sir, Anju George's statement
has been recorded.

Just stay still and pretend
to be unconscious, dear.

Open your eyes only
after reaching the hospital.

Dear!

Open the door!

Why are you lying to me, sir?

I know that Sahadevan
didn't hurt Anju.

I was with him, right?

Luckily, none of her injuries were fatal.

And she regained consciousness
as soon as she reached the hospital.

Don't dismiss him as a man
who simply got lucky, Mr. Prabhakar.

You spent two years trying to frame
his daughter as the culprit,

and within an instant,

he turned her into a victim.

You must realise this at least now.

To protect his daughter,

he'll go to any lengths.

Whatever we do,

he will be one step ahead of us.

Now he just chose to end the war.

So let it be.

Let it be...

the end.

The Varun Prabhakar case sees
a major breakthrough after 13 years.

Reports indicate that Georgekutty

who was questioned repeatedly
regarding Varun's disappearance

has finally surrendered to the police.

We have just received confirmation
that he has confessed to the crime.

You can now see Georgekutty--

Are you happy now?

...being taken for
evidence collection.

Georgekutty refused to comment
to the media--

I want her!
