1
00:00:44,250 --> 00:00:45,791
-Mani?
-Mom!

2
00:00:46,541 --> 00:00:47,625
My dear Mani!

3
00:00:47,916 --> 00:00:48,791
Mom!

4
00:00:49,583 --> 00:00:50,625
My dear!

5
00:01:10,958 --> 00:01:11,833
Mani...

6
00:01:12,500 --> 00:01:14,333
I asked you something
when I visited you in jail.

7
00:01:15,208 --> 00:01:16,208
You still haven't answered me.

8
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,500
What did Sundaresan tell you, Praba?

9
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,041
Nothing, Mani.

10
00:01:21,875 --> 00:01:24,125
But he chewed me out
for having misjudged you.

11
00:01:25,041 --> 00:01:26,750
He asked,
"Is this the depth of your friendship?"

12
00:01:29,125 --> 00:01:30,750
But I feel something isn't right.

13
00:01:32,125 --> 00:01:35,000
He kept it from both of us
that he was trying to woo your sister.

14
00:01:36,791 --> 00:01:38,000
Do you suspect him, Praba?

15
00:01:38,750 --> 00:01:39,583
I don't know, Mani.

16
00:01:40,250 --> 00:01:41,916
But even you know he's an odd type.

17
00:01:42,958 --> 00:01:44,291
He's normally a reserved guy.

18
00:01:44,791 --> 00:01:47,625
But back in eleventh grade, he tried
to stab the PT teacher with a pen!

19
00:01:48,291 --> 00:01:50,083
The entire class tried to stop him,
but couldn't.

20
00:01:51,083 --> 00:01:52,625
You've seen that side of him too, right?

21
00:01:54,458 --> 00:01:55,333
Praba...

22
00:01:56,458 --> 00:01:58,208
When Nila and Venba went out that day,

23
00:01:58,333 --> 00:02:00,375
Sundaresan and Teepu were with me
at the canal.

24
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,791
Only after we got home did my mother say
the two of them had left.

25
00:02:06,125 --> 00:02:08,958
He's just as important to me as you are.

26
00:02:19,333 --> 00:02:20,208
Can I say something?

27
00:02:21,250 --> 00:02:22,875
Sundaresan didn't tell me anything.

28
00:02:23,500 --> 00:02:24,916
But I said he's hiding something, right?

29
00:02:26,250 --> 00:02:27,375
I still feel the same way, Mani.

30
00:02:48,833 --> 00:02:51,916
RUMOR: THE MYSTERY OF MANI

31
00:03:00,875 --> 00:03:03,750
<i>A well-attired belle</i>

32
00:03:03,875 --> 00:03:06,708
<i>A bejeweled maiden</i>

33
00:03:06,833 --> 00:03:09,666
<i>A luminous, radiant damsel</i>

34
00:03:09,791 --> 00:03:12,708
<i>A vivacious, glittering charmer</i>

35
00:03:12,875 --> 00:03:15,750
<i>A music-playing fairy</i>

36
00:03:15,916 --> 00:03:18,750
<i>A pristine enchantress</i>

37
00:03:18,875 --> 00:03:24,458
<i>Do you not sense the truth in her words?</i>

38
00:03:44,458 --> 00:03:46,833
Please wait here.
Let me check if sir is at the lab.

39
00:03:50,541 --> 00:03:51,375
Hello, Raaza.

40
00:03:52,625 --> 00:03:54,333
Surprised to see me in a lungi?

41
00:03:55,416 --> 00:03:56,291
Nothing like that, sir.

42
00:03:56,916 --> 00:04:00,333
Sometimes, even we say "enough is enough"
and relax at the station in a lungi.

43
00:04:01,083 --> 00:04:05,000
Not wanting to go home or get sleep
until I figure this out...

44
00:04:05,541 --> 00:04:06,375
I stayed back here.

45
00:04:06,666 --> 00:04:07,791
Found anything new, sir?

46
00:04:08,250 --> 00:04:10,708
I went over the test results several times

47
00:04:11,125 --> 00:04:14,250
to check if there were any mistakes
or if we messed up while testing.

48
00:04:15,041 --> 00:04:16,125
Everything's in order.

49
00:04:19,083 --> 00:04:20,666
Were you able to do the postmortem
like I asked?

50
00:04:21,625 --> 00:04:22,583
{\an8} Are the reports in?

51
00:04:22,750 --> 00:04:24,125
Yes.
I brought them over directly.

52
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:33,875
{\an8} Oh shit!

53
00:04:34,458 --> 00:04:35,333
{\an8} What's wrong, sir?

54
00:04:36,666 --> 00:04:37,500
How is this possible?

55
00:04:41,250 --> 00:04:42,083
<i>Yes, ma'am?</i>

56
00:04:42,208 --> 00:04:45,208
Nothing, doctor. I just came out of
a meeting with the Commissioner and IG.

57
00:04:46,166 --> 00:04:47,833
They said, "Set aside
your search for the killer.

58
00:04:48,166 --> 00:04:51,708
What's the explanation for the male DNA
in a female body?"

59
00:04:52,250 --> 00:04:55,541
They asked whether this would be possible
if the victim were transgender.

60
00:04:56,333 --> 00:04:58,541
{\an8} <i>Based on what I knew,
I said it wasn't possible.</i>

61
00:04:59,250 --> 00:05:03,500
But I still wanted to check with you
to see if what I said was right.

62
00:05:04,625 --> 00:05:05,875
No, you're right.

63
00:05:06,208 --> 00:05:09,083
{\an8} In the male body of a trans woman,
the DNA would also be male.

64
00:05:09,208 --> 00:05:10,458
<i>Meaning, it's a male by birth.</i>

65
00:05:10,750 --> 00:05:14,666
{\an8} Similarly, in the female body of
a trans man, the DNA would be female.

66
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,666
Meaning, it's a female by birth.

67
00:05:17,333 --> 00:05:19,791
What if they had done
sex reassignment surgery?

68
00:05:20,500 --> 00:05:24,333
{\an8} Even so, if a male had become a female,
the body won't have ovaries in it.

69
00:05:25,625 --> 00:05:28,041
{\an8} I just went over the postmortem report
Raaza brought over.

70
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,833
{\an8} This body has ovaries in it!
Meaning, it's a female by birth!

71
00:05:33,166 --> 00:05:35,416
Then how do we explain this, doctor?

72
00:05:39,125 --> 00:05:39,958
{\an8} I don't know, ma'am.

73
00:05:40,583 --> 00:05:41,458
{\an8} Just give me some time.

74
00:05:42,833 --> 00:05:43,708
I'll wait for your call.

75
00:05:47,250 --> 00:05:48,458
{\an8} What's our next move, doctor?

76
00:06:16,625 --> 00:06:17,541
How can this be, sir?

77
00:06:18,083 --> 00:06:19,041
Self-immolation?

78
00:06:19,375 --> 00:06:20,500
The body is heavily burnt.

79
00:06:20,750 --> 00:06:22,458
No, sir.
It was a brick kiln.

80
00:06:23,541 --> 00:06:26,916
A postmortem was already conducted
in Trichy for the internal organs.

81
00:06:27,083 --> 00:06:28,541
Now, we need to extract
a femur bone.

82
00:06:29,166 --> 00:06:32,583
But I wanted to check if it's useful
to extract the tooth first.

83
00:06:36,458 --> 00:06:37,625
The cutting pliers, Dharmaraj.

84
00:06:50,500 --> 00:06:51,375
No, sir.

85
00:06:51,875 --> 00:06:53,041
Extract the femur bone.

86
00:06:53,583 --> 00:06:54,458
Okay, sir.

87
00:06:54,708 --> 00:06:57,125
Get the brass grip and the hacksaw,
Dharmaraj.

88
00:06:58,041 --> 00:06:59,250
Let's wait outside, Raaza.

89
00:07:06,625 --> 00:07:09,000
Are we taking another sample
for testing, sir?

90
00:07:10,125 --> 00:07:11,250
A sample will be taken.

91
00:07:12,125 --> 00:07:13,750
But we'll only know later
if it's usable or not.

92
00:07:18,833 --> 00:07:22,000
The bone will be useable
if it's up to 200-250 degrees centigrade.

93
00:07:23,333 --> 00:07:24,791
But in brick kilns,

94
00:07:24,916 --> 00:07:28,166
the average heat temperature
is 800 to 1,200 degrees centigrade.

95
00:07:29,458 --> 00:07:31,500
So, I'm not very optimistic.

96
00:07:38,041 --> 00:07:39,541
The doctor's calling you, sir.

97
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,000
I've opened it up.

98
00:07:44,541 --> 00:07:46,041
Analyze it and let me know.

99
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,125
Neither is it white...

100
00:07:54,041 --> 00:07:55,375
nor has it gotten yellow.

101
00:07:56,500 --> 00:07:58,500
It must have burned at a temperature
of 300-350 degrees.

102
00:08:01,791 --> 00:08:03,166
Think we can find a useable bone.

103
00:08:58,958 --> 00:09:00,583
I've authorized
the rapid testing method.

104
00:09:01,416 --> 00:09:02,500
We'll have results in an hour.

105
00:09:04,458 --> 00:09:06,875
What are we trying to find out
with this test, sir?

106
00:09:07,375 --> 00:09:09,375
To the best of my knowledge,
this is our last move.

107
00:09:10,208 --> 00:09:13,791
We learned that this body has the same DNA
that was found in the other crime scenes.

108
00:09:14,291 --> 00:09:16,208
But it's male DNA in a female body!

109
00:09:16,708 --> 00:09:17,541
It's mysterious!

110
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,125
So, instead of using swab samples,

111
00:09:20,250 --> 00:09:22,250
I'm going to extract DNA
from bone samples.

112
00:09:22,666 --> 00:09:25,208
If the DNA matches,
I'll call it quits!

113
00:09:25,833 --> 00:09:26,916
I can't explain this.

114
00:09:28,083 --> 00:09:29,166
I'll admit I can't solve this.

115
00:09:29,708 --> 00:09:31,125
How can you give up, sir?

116
00:09:31,833 --> 00:09:35,583
If it were within my domain,
I'd do everything I could at my disposal.

117
00:09:36,166 --> 00:09:37,125
But this is a different field!

118
00:09:37,833 --> 00:09:39,583
You need to be able to figure it out!

119
00:09:39,958 --> 00:09:40,875
I'm not God!

120
00:09:42,541 --> 00:09:44,583
At one point, we must accept
our limitations!

121
00:09:51,791 --> 00:09:54,125
There was this case I had
while working with the Delhi CDRF.

122
00:09:55,125 --> 00:09:56,666
A simple open-and-shut case.

123
00:09:58,250 --> 00:10:00,958
I found semen samples in the body
of a rape and murder victim.

124
00:10:01,916 --> 00:10:03,125
We identified the DNA.

125
00:10:05,166 --> 00:10:07,375
We knew with absolute certainty
it was the suspect's DNA.

126
00:10:08,166 --> 00:10:09,958
Within two days,
the suspect was arrested.

127
00:10:10,833 --> 00:10:11,666
But?

128
00:10:11,916 --> 00:10:15,416
The DNA we identified in the lab
didn't match the suspect's DNA!

129
00:10:17,291 --> 00:10:18,416
No one could understand it!

130
00:10:19,333 --> 00:10:21,375
The rapist laughed at us
as if we were idiots!

131
00:10:23,666 --> 00:10:24,958
But you know where
the bloody mistake was?

132
00:10:25,625 --> 00:10:26,541
A simple human error!

133
00:10:27,333 --> 00:10:31,541
My lab assistant had been matching
the suspect's DNA with the victim's DNA!

134
00:10:32,875 --> 00:10:34,500
This mistake was a huge lesson for me.

135
00:10:35,083 --> 00:10:38,875
Since then, I've been very careful
to avoid any such silly mistakes!

136
00:10:40,166 --> 00:10:42,666
If that's so, would I allow
such mistakes to happen?

137
00:10:44,166 --> 00:10:45,000
Impossible!

138
00:10:47,583 --> 00:10:49,958
Look, if there is a DNA match...

139
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,291
only God can explain this!

140
00:10:54,083 --> 00:10:54,958
Sir!

141
00:10:59,375 --> 00:11:00,916
I'm a devout believer.

142
00:11:01,958 --> 00:11:03,750
We'll definitely find the answer to this.

143
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:23,625
<i>I think you're in the middle
of bad times.</i>

144
00:11:29,666 --> 00:11:31,291
I don't think this case will wrap up soon.

145
00:11:34,125 --> 00:11:35,833
<i>They said, "Set aside
your search for the killer.</i>

146
00:11:37,500 --> 00:11:41,041
<i>What's the explanation for the male DNA
in a female body?"</i>

147
00:11:46,375 --> 00:11:47,625
This body has ovaries in it!

148
00:11:47,791 --> 00:11:49,000
Meaning, it's a female by birth!

149
00:11:52,083 --> 00:11:54,750
If the DNA matches, I'll call it quits!

150
00:11:56,666 --> 00:11:58,541
But you know where
the bloody mistake was?

151
00:12:01,875 --> 00:12:03,833
<i>I think there is some kind
of supernatural spirit.</i>

152
00:12:03,958 --> 00:12:05,458
<i>Then how do we explain this?</i>

153
00:12:05,583 --> 00:12:07,041
<i>What does our suspect have to do
with this case?</i>

154
00:12:09,583 --> 00:12:10,541
A simple human error!

155
00:12:32,416 --> 00:12:33,333
Raaza!

156
00:12:33,583 --> 00:12:34,833
{\an8} Test results of the bone sample.

157
00:12:35,208 --> 00:12:36,083
{\an8} It's not a match.

158
00:12:36,875 --> 00:12:38,458
This lady is not the killer you're after.

159
00:12:40,125 --> 00:12:42,125
I found the man I'm hunting, sir.

160
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,166
Will you come to take a sample?

161
00:14:20,791 --> 00:14:21,666
Yes, Raaza?

162
00:14:22,125 --> 00:14:25,500
<i>Ma'am, have you heard of
PharmaNu India Private Limited?</i>

163
00:14:26,083 --> 00:14:27,375
<i>No. Where is it?</i>

164
00:14:27,541 --> 00:14:28,416
In Tirunelveli.

165
00:14:29,041 --> 00:14:30,041
<i>I'm there right now.</i>

166
00:14:30,583 --> 00:14:32,750
We had assumed the third DNA we had

167
00:14:32,875 --> 00:14:35,875
belonged to the serial killer,
committing these murders, right?

168
00:14:36,625 --> 00:14:40,041
<i>The one whose DNA this is
works for this company.</i>

169
00:14:40,833 --> 00:14:44,458
But he has nothing to do
with these murders, ma'am.

170
00:14:45,041 --> 00:14:45,875
He had nothing to do with it?

171
00:14:46,375 --> 00:14:48,458
Then how was his DNA found
in several crime scenes?

172
00:14:48,958 --> 00:14:52,750
Because the cotton swabs we used
to collect the DNA samples

173
00:14:53,250 --> 00:14:55,166
already had his DNA in it.

174
00:14:58,875 --> 00:15:01,000
<i>Even if the cotton swabs are sterilized,</i>

175
00:15:01,458 --> 00:15:05,416
<i>he was handling them without gloves
during the packaging process, ma'am.</i>

176
00:15:18,708 --> 00:15:19,583
Oh shit!

177
00:15:20,416 --> 00:15:22,041
That's where the bloody
mistake was, is it?

178
00:15:22,958 --> 00:15:23,791
Human error?

179
00:15:25,291 --> 00:15:26,875
So everything we assumed all this time,

180
00:15:27,250 --> 00:15:29,833
the case we built,
the serial killer angle...

181
00:15:30,625 --> 00:15:32,083
It was all human error, huh?

182
00:15:36,375 --> 00:15:39,208
For wasting the department's time,
resources, and manpower

183
00:15:39,333 --> 00:15:41,541
in this investigation,
they'll blame both of us!

184
00:15:49,875 --> 00:15:53,791
After causing panic among the public
by claiming a serial killer's in play,

185
00:15:53,958 --> 00:15:56,541
how can we believe you now
when you say there's no serial killer?

186
00:15:56,916 --> 00:15:58,541
As your department
couldn't find the killer,

187
00:15:58,791 --> 00:16:00,875
are you saying this
to cover up your incompetence?

188
00:16:01,375 --> 00:16:05,833
The fact that you used contaminated swabs
is such a significant negligence, sir!

189
00:16:05,958 --> 00:16:07,750
Who will take responsibility
for this, sir?

190
00:16:07,875 --> 00:16:09,500
This isn't the incompetence
of the police.

191
00:16:10,833 --> 00:16:14,125
The fact that such an error
with a defective forensic apparatus

192
00:16:14,250 --> 00:16:17,416
was uncovered is very commendable.

193
00:16:18,125 --> 00:16:21,500
This error made us give special attention
to those six cases,

194
00:16:21,916 --> 00:16:24,000
and we've issued orders
to complete investigating them.

195
00:16:24,458 --> 00:16:26,375
We'll update the Law and Order Minister
about it.

196
00:16:26,541 --> 00:16:28,666
So, there's nothing more
we can share at this time.

197
00:16:29,750 --> 00:16:31,500
Sir! Just one last question!

198
00:16:31,666 --> 00:16:32,541
Over here!

199
00:16:33,791 --> 00:16:36,500
The serial killer angle is what claimed
Mani was innocent.

200
00:16:37,125 --> 00:16:38,416
As there's no serial killer,

201
00:16:38,541 --> 00:16:41,666
Mani's innocence is now
under scrutiny, right?

202
00:16:42,166 --> 00:16:43,333
No further comments.

203
00:16:43,458 --> 00:16:45,041
Please answer the question, sir.

204
00:16:45,375 --> 00:16:46,750
Please answer me, sir!

205
00:16:46,875 --> 00:16:47,791
Sir!

206
00:16:50,458 --> 00:16:51,958
You'll regret this a lot, Rathika.

207
00:16:57,458 --> 00:16:59,583
{\an8} Stop it with the long face, Raaza.

208
00:17:00,416 --> 00:17:01,708
{\an8} I'll handle this problem.

209
00:17:04,958 --> 00:17:06,625
{\an8} But can I ask you just one thing?

210
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:09,875
{\an8} Even now...

211
00:17:10,708 --> 00:17:12,458
{\an8} do you believe Mani is innocent?

212
00:17:44,041 --> 00:17:44,958
{\an8} Mani!

213
00:17:46,416 --> 00:17:48,041
Brother!
You're here?

214
00:17:48,666 --> 00:17:49,541
{\an8} On my way!

215
00:17:55,333 --> 00:17:57,041
I've been meaning to come see you.

216
00:17:57,500 --> 00:17:58,750
But you turned up yourself!

217
00:17:59,333 --> 00:18:01,041
How did you know I'd be here?

218
00:18:01,666 --> 00:18:02,666
I'm a cop.

219
00:18:03,166 --> 00:18:04,208
Isn't that my job?

220
00:18:05,208 --> 00:18:06,583
Why'd you want to meet me?

221
00:18:07,166 --> 00:18:09,416
To thank you once again in person.

222
00:18:09,916 --> 00:18:11,666
For the first time in two years,
Kaari got to see me!

223
00:18:12,083 --> 00:18:13,166
But he still remembers me!

224
00:18:13,833 --> 00:18:16,333
The moment he saw me, I knew how much
he'd been longing for me.

225
00:18:19,375 --> 00:18:20,625
Why do you look upset, brother?

226
00:18:21,875 --> 00:18:23,166
Didn't you watch the news?

227
00:18:23,833 --> 00:18:24,708
No, brother.

228
00:18:24,833 --> 00:18:26,375
Your case has been overturned.

229
00:18:27,208 --> 00:18:28,875
There is no serial killer.

230
00:18:31,041 --> 00:18:34,041
The matter of your innocence
is once again under scrutiny.

231
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:39,875
No.

232
00:18:40,166 --> 00:18:41,250
I still believe in you.

233
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,416
Once the bail is up, go back to jail.

234
00:18:44,375 --> 00:18:46,333
If not, Mr. Sukumaran says

235
00:18:46,541 --> 00:18:50,208
our investigation and our attempts to
prove your innocence will be weakened.

236
00:18:51,500 --> 00:18:52,750
I'll go back in, brother.

237
00:18:53,125 --> 00:18:54,166
Even my mother will understand.

238
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,250
Only Kaari can't bear the separation.

239
00:19:00,750 --> 00:19:01,666
Forgive me.

240
00:19:01,916 --> 00:19:02,791
Brother.

241
00:19:10,125 --> 00:19:11,250
Hold on, Maari.

242
00:19:16,500 --> 00:19:17,375
Mani?

243
00:19:27,458 --> 00:19:28,333
Drive.

244
00:19:41,416 --> 00:19:42,291
Praba!

245
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:43,875
Do you call this fair?

246
00:19:44,500 --> 00:19:46,375
You made a cop come looking for you
at your place!

247
00:19:46,916 --> 00:19:48,333
What's the matter, sir?

248
00:19:49,250 --> 00:19:51,583
What's with the
child-lost-in-a-carnival look?

249
00:19:51,916 --> 00:19:52,916
Can't I come by your place?

250
00:19:53,416 --> 00:19:54,250
Nothing like that, sir.

251
00:19:56,708 --> 00:19:57,583
Come along.

252
00:19:58,750 --> 00:19:59,666
Let's take a walk.

253
00:20:00,750 --> 00:20:01,583
So...

254
00:20:01,958 --> 00:20:04,666
how's your romance going?
Any hiccups there?

255
00:20:05,333 --> 00:20:06,166
It's going well, sir.

256
00:20:09,875 --> 00:20:10,708
Sir!

257
00:20:11,875 --> 00:20:12,875
What does he have to say, Ramar?

258
00:20:13,083 --> 00:20:14,750
His romance is going steady, Moosa!

259
00:20:15,083 --> 00:20:15,916
Is that so?

260
00:20:16,541 --> 00:20:19,333
I saw you and Mani near that pond, Praba.

261
00:20:20,333 --> 00:20:21,791
When and how did you patch things up?

262
00:20:22,166 --> 00:20:23,791
It's nothing, sir.

263
00:20:24,041 --> 00:20:25,666
I ran into him,
so I started a conversation.

264
00:20:26,416 --> 00:20:27,458
Nothing major, sir.

265
00:20:27,750 --> 00:20:28,875
Why are you bluffing?

266
00:20:29,333 --> 00:20:30,541
You met him in prison!

267
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:32,166
And you say it's no big deal?

268
00:20:33,666 --> 00:20:35,250
-What are you hiding?
-Hey!

269
00:20:35,916 --> 00:20:38,416
Come clean!
There's no use keeping anything from us!

270
00:20:39,125 --> 00:20:41,541
I swear to God I know nothing, sir!

271
00:20:42,208 --> 00:20:44,666
I think Mani and Sundaresan
are hiding something, sir.

272
00:20:45,166 --> 00:20:46,958
Besides that, I swear I know nothing.

273
00:20:48,708 --> 00:20:49,583
<i>Moosa.</i>

274
00:20:49,750 --> 00:20:51,083
Don't get me wrong.

275
00:20:52,416 --> 00:20:54,333
You have a soft spot for Mani.

276
00:20:55,041 --> 00:20:56,458
That's why you don't suspect him!

277
00:20:57,625 --> 00:20:59,375
But he's hiding something from us.

278
00:21:01,041 --> 00:21:03,208
If he was at fault...

279
00:21:04,083 --> 00:21:06,416
he'd have made a run for it
when he was released, Ramar.

280
00:21:06,958 --> 00:21:09,000
When I told him he had to go back
to prison,

281
00:21:09,125 --> 00:21:10,583
he agreed to that
without a second thought.

282
00:21:11,583 --> 00:21:12,416
No, Moosa.

283
00:21:12,875 --> 00:21:16,750
I think if we string him upside down
and wear him out, we can get the truth.

284
00:21:17,375 --> 00:21:18,291
What do you say?

285
00:21:23,708 --> 00:21:24,833
Bring him over.

286
00:21:26,166 --> 00:21:28,416
But he's not the one
to be strung upside down!

287
00:21:30,208 --> 00:21:32,333
<i>I'm begging you, sir!</i>

288
00:21:32,458 --> 00:21:33,500
<i>Please let me down!</i>

289
00:21:33,625 --> 00:21:34,750
<i>I can't bear it!</i>

290
00:21:34,958 --> 00:21:36,083
<i>Let me down, sir!</i>

291
00:21:36,291 --> 00:21:38,208
<i>I'm begging you!
Please let me down, sir!</i>

292
00:21:38,458 --> 00:21:40,083
<i>Please let me down, sir!</i>

293
00:21:40,625 --> 00:21:41,791
<i>I can't bear it, sir!</i>

294
00:21:44,958 --> 00:21:46,916
<i>Sir! I'm begging you, sir!</i>

295
00:21:47,041 --> 00:21:49,250
<i>Please let me down!
I can't bear it!</i>

296
00:21:49,416 --> 00:21:51,333
<i>Please, sir!
I can't bear it!</i>

297
00:21:51,625 --> 00:21:52,833
<i>Tell him to let me down, please!</i>

298
00:21:53,333 --> 00:21:55,541
<i>Sir!</i>

299
00:21:55,666 --> 00:21:56,958
<i>-Hey!
-I didn't do anything!</i>

300
00:21:57,083 --> 00:21:58,541
<i>-Let me down!
-Don't lose your life over this!</i>

301
00:21:58,708 --> 00:22:01,041
-I can't bear it!
-Spill it, you dolt!

302
00:22:01,250 --> 00:22:02,750
-Let me down, sir!
-Look there!

303
00:22:02,958 --> 00:22:04,166
He's sitting without a care!

304
00:22:04,416 --> 00:22:05,500
-Sir!
-Ramar!

305
00:22:05,666 --> 00:22:07,750
Tell him to let me down, sir!
I can't bear it!

306
00:22:08,500 --> 00:22:09,333
Sir!

307
00:22:09,625 --> 00:22:12,375
Please tell him to let me down, sir!
I can't bear it!

308
00:22:12,750 --> 00:22:14,916
Quiet!
Squealing like a pig in a trap!

309
00:22:16,333 --> 00:22:17,583
Tell him to let me down, sir...

310
00:22:21,375 --> 00:22:24,791
Your pal Praba said you and Sundaresan
are hiding something.

311
00:22:25,958 --> 00:22:28,458
You didn't come seeking my help
on your own.

312
00:22:29,333 --> 00:22:33,000
Even when I asked you to go back to jail,
you didn't refuse.

313
00:22:34,500 --> 00:22:36,750
Even if you are hiding something...

314
00:22:37,875 --> 00:22:40,708
I believe you're not doing so
to protect yourself.

315
00:22:41,333 --> 00:22:43,791
But even if you are hiding something,

316
00:22:44,750 --> 00:22:47,750
there is no reason to do so
beyond this point.

317
00:22:48,500 --> 00:22:49,958
I swear I'm hiding nothing, brother.

318
00:22:50,541 --> 00:22:52,083
Send me back to jail.

319
00:22:52,375 --> 00:22:53,833
They said I did it, right?

320
00:22:54,208 --> 00:22:55,833
I'll go back to jail.
Please let me do that.

321
00:22:57,583 --> 00:22:59,791
We need to squeeze him dry, Moosa!

322
00:23:00,083 --> 00:23:01,583
Sir! Mani...

323
00:23:02,375 --> 00:23:03,500
I can't do that!

324
00:23:04,125 --> 00:23:06,375
He'll be hanging
until you tell me the truth!

325
00:23:07,375 --> 00:23:09,583
If I strung you up,
I know you'll be able to bear it.

326
00:23:09,958 --> 00:23:13,625
-That's why we strung him up!
-I can't take it anymore, Mani!

327
00:23:13,750 --> 00:23:14,791
Tell them to let me down!

328
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:16,958
You don't mind seeing him
endure such pain?

329
00:23:17,333 --> 00:23:18,375
Are you okay with it?
Tell me!

330
00:23:18,708 --> 00:23:19,833
I can't bear it anymore!

331
00:23:19,958 --> 00:23:21,083
Tell them to let me down, Mani!

332
00:23:21,375 --> 00:23:23,250
I'm begging you, sir!

333
00:23:23,458 --> 00:23:24,833
-Let me down!
-Please trust me!

334
00:23:24,958 --> 00:23:26,291
I swear I'm not hiding anything!

335
00:23:26,458 --> 00:23:27,916
I'll tell you, sir!

336
00:23:28,083 --> 00:23:29,458
I'll tell you everything, sir!

337
00:23:29,750 --> 00:23:30,750
I'll tell you everything!

338
00:23:30,875 --> 00:23:33,250
He's blabbering because of the pain!
There's nothing to say!

339
00:23:33,458 --> 00:23:35,583
Let's tell the truth, Mani!

340
00:23:35,875 --> 00:23:37,333
I lied because you asked me to!

341
00:23:37,583 --> 00:23:39,208
I lied only for your sake!

342
00:23:39,333 --> 00:23:40,875
Shut up, Sundaresan!

343
00:23:41,291 --> 00:23:42,875
We're not hiding anything!

344
00:23:43,041 --> 00:23:44,791
Please be quiet, Sundaresan!

345
00:23:45,083 --> 00:23:46,375
It's the pain talking! Not you!

346
00:23:46,541 --> 00:23:47,541
Don't blabber nonsense!

347
00:23:48,125 --> 00:23:49,750
-We're hiding nothing!
-No, sir!

348
00:23:49,958 --> 00:23:51,041
I'm not blabbering!

349
00:23:51,333 --> 00:23:56,041
We lied about being in the canal
when Nilavathi and Venba left home!

350
00:23:56,333 --> 00:23:57,666
Mani told me to say that!

351
00:23:58,041 --> 00:24:01,750
-Please let me down!
-Please don't say it, Sundaresan!

352
00:24:02,833 --> 00:24:04,791
Don't hurt him, brother!
Quiet, Sundaresan!

353
00:24:04,916 --> 00:24:06,333
I'm begging you, Sundaresan!

354
00:24:06,458 --> 00:24:09,791
I'll even fall at your feet!
Please don't say it!

355
00:24:10,041 --> 00:24:12,833
Please don't do it, Sundaresan!

356
00:24:13,083 --> 00:24:17,458
Please don't say it, Sundaresan...

357
00:24:18,250 --> 00:24:20,125
Please don't say it...

358
00:24:21,458 --> 00:24:22,500
Start talking.

359
00:24:25,833 --> 00:24:26,833
<i>Come along, Poorni!</i>

360
00:24:27,583 --> 00:24:28,625
<i>Come quickly, I say!</i>

361
00:24:31,666 --> 00:24:33,833
This is why you wanted
me to hurry up, huh?

362
00:24:37,875 --> 00:24:40,291
Hey!
Isn't he your brother's friend?

363
00:24:40,625 --> 00:24:41,708
Does your brother know about this?

364
00:24:41,958 --> 00:24:44,625
-That this guy is following you around?
-How would I know?

365
00:24:46,666 --> 00:24:49,041
Would you mind walking me home?

366
00:24:51,125 --> 00:24:54,375
Tell the truth. You want me to do that
because you're scared of him?

367
00:24:56,625 --> 00:24:58,708
I don't like it
that he's following me around!

368
00:24:59,250 --> 00:25:01,000
Seeing his face makes me furious!

369
00:25:02,083 --> 00:25:03,791
Then why don't you tell him that?

370
00:25:05,541 --> 00:25:06,583
Why should I go and tell?

371
00:25:07,041 --> 00:25:08,791
Once my brother finds out,
it'll resolve itself!

372
00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:58,833
You idiot!

373
00:26:59,416 --> 00:27:01,500
Why leave your hair loose
after the lamp is lit?

374
00:27:02,166 --> 00:27:03,375
Ask her what's up, Mom!

375
00:27:05,333 --> 00:27:06,208
Hello?

376
00:27:06,333 --> 00:27:07,541
Aren't you Mani?

377
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,083
I've been hearing you're in love
with my sister.

378
00:27:10,333 --> 00:27:11,250
Just back off!

379
00:27:11,583 --> 00:27:13,958
If you don't,
I'll skewer your entire family!

380
00:27:14,333 --> 00:27:16,958
Think I'll just stay put
when you do the skewering?

381
00:27:17,333 --> 00:27:19,708
Yes! Your sister and I are in love!

382
00:27:19,875 --> 00:27:21,041
If I ever get married, it'll be to her.

383
00:27:21,333 --> 00:27:22,208
<i>What gives?</i>

384
00:27:22,416 --> 00:27:25,416
Why threaten over the phone like a wimp?
If you're a man, face me in person!

385
00:27:45,583 --> 00:27:47,750
Okay. When's the first bus?

386
00:27:52,166 --> 00:27:54,541
4:30? You sure about that?

387
00:27:56,625 --> 00:27:58,166
Fine, I'll be there by 3:30.

388
00:27:58,875 --> 00:28:00,375
Don't leave me hanging.

389
00:28:01,208 --> 00:28:02,125
It'll wreck me.

390
00:28:02,833 --> 00:28:04,291
-You come by--
-What's in this bag?

391
00:28:04,750 --> 00:28:05,708
Dirty clothes, Mom.

392
00:28:39,083 --> 00:28:41,041
Get some water, you idiot.

393
00:28:41,833 --> 00:28:42,916
Who is this girl?

394
00:28:43,208 --> 00:28:44,041
Mom...

395
00:28:44,791 --> 00:28:46,916
I intend to marry her.
We're in love.

396
00:28:47,541 --> 00:28:48,875
Her family beat her up.

397
00:28:49,375 --> 00:28:50,291
See this?

398
00:28:50,666 --> 00:28:52,375
There might be trouble!

399
00:28:52,625 --> 00:28:53,666
I'll handle that.

400
00:28:54,291 --> 00:28:55,208
Water.

401
00:28:57,541 --> 00:28:58,583
From now on, she'll stay here.

402
00:28:59,750 --> 00:29:00,625
Drink up!

403
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:04,416
Goddess Meenakshi will handle everything.

404
00:29:04,958 --> 00:29:05,791
Go to sleep.

405
00:29:06,125 --> 00:29:07,041
We'll talk in the morning.

406
00:29:09,083 --> 00:29:11,333
Don't invite any trouble, okay?

407
00:29:11,791 --> 00:29:13,500
Don't you know there's a young girl
at home?

408
00:29:13,625 --> 00:29:15,000
I said I'll handle it!

409
00:29:16,041 --> 00:29:17,000
It's all red!

410
00:29:18,666 --> 00:29:19,583
Goddess Meenakshi...

411
00:29:20,166 --> 00:29:21,666
please take good care of everything.

412
00:30:21,125 --> 00:30:22,416
Come on out here!

413
00:30:23,375 --> 00:30:25,125
-Come on out!
-Quiet!

414
00:30:25,250 --> 00:30:26,291
Send my sister back!

415
00:30:26,416 --> 00:30:27,750
-I'm here, right?
-Get out here!

416
00:30:27,875 --> 00:30:28,916
Get back in!

417
00:30:29,125 --> 00:30:30,000
-Go back in!
-Who is it?

418
00:30:30,125 --> 00:30:32,541
Go back in! I said I'll handle it!
Go!

419
00:30:32,791 --> 00:30:34,541
-Go in, Nila! It's okay!
-What's wrong?

420
00:30:34,666 --> 00:30:36,000
-Get back in!
-Okay!

421
00:30:36,125 --> 00:30:37,833
Take her inside, Mom!

422
00:30:38,458 --> 00:30:40,125
You come to my house and yell at me?

423
00:30:40,333 --> 00:30:42,833
-What are you doing with my sister?
-You dare hit a girl?

424
00:30:42,958 --> 00:30:44,750
You've got my sister here!
I'll hack you!

425
00:30:44,875 --> 00:30:46,291
-Hack me if you can!
-Mani!

426
00:30:47,041 --> 00:30:48,125
-Quiet!
-Hack me up!

427
00:30:48,250 --> 00:30:50,375
-Listen to me, Mani!
-Get back in, Mom!

428
00:30:50,500 --> 00:30:53,000
-Send my sister back!
-Shut up!

429
00:30:53,250 --> 00:30:54,875
Hold up!
Back off!

430
00:30:57,208 --> 00:30:58,583
Come in, young man.

431
00:31:04,416 --> 00:31:05,458
Send my daughter home.

432
00:31:06,083 --> 00:31:08,166
What is it?
Do you not believe me?

433
00:31:09,791 --> 00:31:10,791
Ask my daughter.

434
00:31:10,916 --> 00:31:11,916
She'll tell you.

435
00:31:15,875 --> 00:31:17,541
My brother has done a lot for me.

436
00:31:17,958 --> 00:31:19,750
Still, he'll never let go of his honor.

437
00:31:21,125 --> 00:31:22,958
But my father's word can be trusted.

438
00:31:24,375 --> 00:31:26,125
Even if I do,
I won't send you alone.

439
00:31:26,833 --> 00:31:27,875
I'll send Venba along.

440
00:31:28,625 --> 00:31:29,958
That too, only after two days.

441
00:31:39,375 --> 00:31:41,083
Your daughter will return home
only after two days.

442
00:31:41,958 --> 00:31:43,583
I'll only send her along
with my sister.

443
00:31:44,875 --> 00:31:46,125
Let me know if that works for you.

444
00:33:40,166 --> 00:33:42,458
Venba? Can I talk to you?

445
00:33:45,875 --> 00:33:47,916
You don't approve of my relationship
with your brother?

446
00:33:49,291 --> 00:33:52,625
Or are you mad at me for running away
from home and giving you trouble?

447
00:33:54,166 --> 00:33:55,500
Whatever it is, tell me openly.

448
00:33:57,291 --> 00:33:59,666
You haven't said a word to me
since I got here.

449
00:34:01,041 --> 00:34:04,291
Even when I come to talk to you,
I feel you don't want to talk to me!

450
00:34:08,708 --> 00:34:10,375
I really like Mani, Venba.

451
00:34:11,625 --> 00:34:12,583
He is my life.

452
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:18,125
When we fell in love, he'd only
talk about you and your mother!

453
00:34:19,166 --> 00:34:20,500
I enjoyed hearing that.

454
00:34:22,833 --> 00:34:24,791
I may not have spoken to you earlier,

455
00:34:25,125 --> 00:34:29,416
but I thought we'd become good friends
and get along like sisters!

456
00:34:31,583 --> 00:34:33,541
You and I are pretty much the same age.
Know that?

457
00:34:34,625 --> 00:34:36,458
I'm just two years older than you.

458
00:34:38,750 --> 00:34:40,083
I'm spilling my guts out here!

459
00:34:40,625 --> 00:34:41,958
Please talk to me, Venba!

460
00:34:42,416 --> 00:34:43,541
Are you mad at me?

461
00:34:44,041 --> 00:34:45,083
Don't you like me?

462
00:34:45,500 --> 00:34:47,833
Are you mad at me?
Say something, Venba!

463
00:34:50,250 --> 00:34:53,208
What the hell is this?!
What have you done?!

464
00:34:53,333 --> 00:34:54,208
What happened?

465
00:34:54,666 --> 00:34:56,708
You needn't say anything to me!

466
00:34:57,333 --> 00:34:58,708
Please just leave!

467
00:34:59,291 --> 00:35:01,500
At least let me die in peace!

468
00:35:02,208 --> 00:35:03,250
I'll get your brother!

469
00:35:03,666 --> 00:35:06,125
Why go to him? Don't!

470
00:35:16,875 --> 00:35:18,458
What have you done, Venba?

471
00:35:20,791 --> 00:35:23,416
So much blood loss!
What happened? What is the problem?

472
00:35:25,500 --> 00:35:26,750
Because I came here?

473
00:35:27,458 --> 00:35:28,875
At least tell me what the problem is!

474
00:35:34,125 --> 00:35:35,083
Do you love someone?

475
00:35:37,208 --> 00:35:38,666
Did he abandon you?

476
00:35:39,875 --> 00:35:42,125
What happened to make you
want to slit your wrist?

477
00:35:44,583 --> 00:35:45,875
I can't stop the bleeding!

478
00:35:47,125 --> 00:35:48,291
We need to go to the hospital!

479
00:35:48,708 --> 00:35:49,833
I'll call your brother!

480
00:35:49,958 --> 00:35:51,916
I told you not to call him!

481
00:35:53,708 --> 00:35:55,625
I'd rather die than do that!

482
00:35:57,333 --> 00:35:58,208
Fine.

483
00:35:58,958 --> 00:36:00,041
I won't call him.

484
00:36:01,583 --> 00:36:02,416
Now tell me.

485
00:36:03,833 --> 00:36:04,833
Who are you in love with?

486
00:36:48,833 --> 00:36:49,708
Poorni!

487
00:36:50,416 --> 00:36:51,416
He saw us, Poorni!

488
00:36:52,791 --> 00:36:54,125
He saw us, Poorni!

489
00:36:54,250 --> 00:36:55,083
Hold on!

490
00:36:55,208 --> 00:36:57,500
He'll go tell my brother, Poorni!

491
00:36:57,875 --> 00:36:59,000
Hold on, Venba!

492
00:36:59,916 --> 00:37:02,666
If he tells my brother,
we're dead meat, Poorni!

493
00:37:03,875 --> 00:37:07,291
Never mind your brother! He doesn't even
have the guts to confess his love to you!

494
00:37:07,500 --> 00:37:08,916
Like he'll tell your brother this!

495
00:37:10,666 --> 00:37:13,083
Let it go. We'll handle it.
He'll stop pursuing you now, right?

496
00:37:13,583 --> 00:37:14,708
No, Poorni!
He saw--
