Uh, Sam, calculate the compatibility between Tara Krishnan and Matthew Jebaraj.

[AI Sam] The compatibility between you and Matthew is…

51.43%.

Since the acceptable compatibility is 85% or above,

poor compatibility detected.

Yes, yes. I get it.

[Arun] No way can I rent my house to someone else and move out.

[Tara] It's not a big deal. Anyway, now I get to stay at your house.

[door opens]

[dog barks]

[gasps] Hi!

Hi! Hi! Hi! [laughs]

I haven't yet told my mom and dad that you'll be staying here.

-Come here. -You know what they're like.

Yeah. Come here.

Okay. So you can take my room.

I don't feel like evicting you from your bedroom.

It's okay. I'll take the sofa.

Uh, okay. I'll get some sheets for you.

Yeah!

[vehicles passing]

Blind Notes was a hit with the users. But look what Matthew's done.

Boss, actually, the update is well received by female users.

Did I ask for your opinion?

Keep the coffee and leave.

[quirky music playing]

Sir.

Here, I'm trying my best to buy out Found, and he's doing a damn test drive with it.

Is this a joke?

Why don't you ask him yourself?

Chakri.

Hi, Chakri. What's up?

Hey, Matty.

You're not the one who gets to decide

which apps I should or shouldn't use, okay?

Of course not, Matty.

Found isn't your kind of app.

So, I was just curious.

Um, Matty, what's your deal with Tara?

You shouldn't get involved with your competitors, right?

Maybe you can learn a thing or two from them.

The idea for the Turn Off option in Blind Notes came from Tara, by the way.

It's working well, all right?

How come you guys didn't think of it?

Hello, but-- Matty? Hello?

[both chuckle]

[upbeat music playing]

[woman] Excuse me.

Hello? Matthew!

Yeah?

-Are you even listening to me? -Yeah, yeah.

I have been transferred here recently. And the workload is too much to deal with.

I'm not fluent with the language either. That's why I tried Found.

But, um, you don't seem like you are interested in me at all.

[chuckles]

I'm so sorry. I really am.

If I get distracted again, you can lock me up and beat me.

[both chuckle]

I went on a date with this girl. She's got so many issues.

So mean.

But she doesn't seem affected by anything. Very chilled out.

Do people like that even exist in this city?

I'm talking about you.

Thank God, then. It would've been such a disaster.

[both laugh]

Um, so I met this guy, right?

-Hmm. -He just kept staring at my lips.

I asked him why. He said women wear red lipstick only so they can seduce men.

You tell me. If I wear red lipstick, would you just keep drooling over me?

[amusing music playing]

Hey!

What is it?

Sorry. Sorry. Ah, come again.

[both chuckle]

[sighs softly]

That's my spot.

I don't see your name written here.

Hmm.

It's okay. I'll sit here today. You sit there.

Yeah. Sit, sit.

Okay, what are you having? The usual?

What?

-Huh? -[groans softly]

Oh, God. Not happening. You come and sit here.

[chuckles softly]

Thank you!

Okay!

-Listen. -Hmm.

On the Found app, how come we didn't match?

We would've if we were compatible.

Hmm.

You've already checked, haven't you?

Hmm. I check everything on the app. It's part of my job.

-And? -And?

We have enough compatibility to be good friends.

Says who? Your AI Sam says so?

That's right.

So what about the chemistry? What about that?

Hmm.

I'm famished. Shall we eat now?

-[chuckles] -Excuse me.

They say you're chatting nonstop on the phone with Tara.

Mia,

she's just a friend.

Okay!

Since when does my brother have a girl bestie?

Anyway, whatever I say, you won't believe me.

Actually, I really want to meet your "friend".

[both chuckle]

[cell phone chimes]

Ash, can you see my car out there?

[Ashwanth] Mm-hmm.

There's no car

and no sign of Jay.

I'll be right back.

-Yeah. -Ash.

-All okay? -Yeah.

-[groans] -[indistinct shouting]

[panting]

It's almost done.

[Tara] Oh! Good!

High five! High five! High five!

Have you ever seen Matthew play a game of paintball?

He always goes into beast mode.

Where did Matthew get this adventurous spirit from?

Uh… When he was around 7 or 8 years old, his mother passed away.

Some school seniors told him that if he climbed the highest tree and yelled out

his mother would hear him.

So, Matthew believed them, started climbing trees

and started talking to the sky.

Ashwanth said that's how it started. [smacks lips]

-But does that really matter? Huh? -Hmm?

The girls run after Matthew just for his money, man.

But me? Hmm? [clicks tongue] Chicks dig this.

I'm not showing off. I mean, what can I say?

One second.

Bro, we're vibing here. Take your toys and go play somewhere else.

We're clearly having a private moment.

How hard is it for people to give us privacy, man?

Just two seconds of privacy. No manners, no etiquette. But, uh…

[chuckles nervously] Matthew, my man! How you doing?

Seriously, Tara? Is this who you matched with?

Why? What's so bad about Jay?

My thoughts exactly. What's wrong with Jay? Hmm?

You're a dead man.

Thank you. Thank you so much, Tara.

However, you must understand,

your vision is not in alignment with our strategies.

AI Sam is a great idea, but can you make it a girl?

Kind of an AI companion.

You have great potential, but are you open to a bit of rebranding?

Tara,

look.

Forget I am an investor, all right?

I am saying this to you because I care.

If you keep telling the investors that,

"I'm sorry, we're not going to change the core of our app and all,"

in a few months' time, you'll be signing the closure documents

and going to shut it down.

[tense music playing]

That's what we need to do SEO for.

-We need to optimise it for the hashtag. -But with what? "Love"? "Love lasts"?

-[Tara] Yeah. "Love that lasts". -Tara.

Some of the guys outside are talking about quitting. Did you know that?

What? Who wants to quit? I'll speak to them.

[smacks lips] Everyone is aware of our financial situation.

Who'd want to stick with a company that may shut down tomorrow?

Dude, but Syl, we're doing everything we can, you know?

I know, but

we're running out of time.

[sighs wearily]

Tara, Matthew seems to be the only option we have right now.

Please don't forget why you took on this challenge.

[pensive music playing]

She always does that. She just scares people.

Okay so…

Hey, listen. Has Matthew found a girlfriend yet?

Mrithula Raj,

aren't you steel tycoon Shiv Raj's daughter?

Thank you. That's right. He is my father.

Why my house?

If you wanted, you could have booked a suite in a five-star hotel, right?

I wanted a cosy and comfortable home.

Plus, the culinary festival I'm attending is close by.

-So it ticked all the boxes. -Are you a chef?

That's the dream.

Someday I might open my own restaurant.

I went to one of the best culinary schools in the world.

This is a chance for me to use what I've learnt

and apply those techniques to our local food.

So, that's why this trip.

I am so impressed!

Thanks.

-You know what? -Yeah.

Next vacation, I think we should exchange homes.

Wow, London.

Princess life for an entire summer. Count me in.

I have to warn you, Englishmen are so boring.

What about the men here?

[laughs] You should try dating apps while you are here.

-You know, maybe I'll try your dating app. -Yeah!

-It's called Found, right? -Yep.

Good morning.

[pensive music playing]

Where are Rohit and Priya?

[Chakri] Guys!

Rohit. Priya. They will be joining our team from today.

[all applauding]

Very talented!

And finally, they're at a place where their talent can expand.

-Welcome to Find My Bae! -[sighs]

Welcome!

Tara, we're two down.

Are you going to dump the extra work on the rest of them?

Just take the money from whoever is willing to invest.

I don't care if we compromise on some features. They deserve better.

[sighing] Yeah.

They deserve better.

[somber music playing]

[inaudible]

[inaudible conversation]

[inaudible]

-Tara. We have a problem. -Hmm?

A lot of user accounts are automatically logging out.

-What? -Yeah.

[cell phone chimes]

[somber music continues playing]

[groans softly]

[pleasant music playing]

[inaudible]

[inaudible conversation]

[doorbell rings]

-Hi. -Hi.

Tara?

This is Tara's house.

But I am staying here for now.

Oh, okay. Um…

Is Tara home?

Tara is just…

Wait.

And you are?

[chuckles] I'm Matthew, Tara's friend.

-Oh, okay. -[sizzling]

Oh, shit!

-Messed up your lunch? -God!

Would you like me to order something for you?

Well, you are partly to blame, but it's fine.

[chuckles softly]

Minus the burning smell,

the aroma was pretty amazing.

Is it, uh…

It's, ah, Paili pal…

Palli pal…

Pallipalayam chicken. Yum!

Yes, that!

I learnt it from a local chef.

First time I'm trying it.

I'd let you try it, but…

It's okay. Maybe next time.

Is that a British accent I'm hearing?

Of course you are!

So, a girl from the UK in Tara's house trying to make Pallipalayam chicken.

I don't get it.

-It's a long story. -[both chuckle]

So if you can give me Tara's address, I'll be on my way.

Without asking Tara, I wouldn't want to.

No, no, I completely understand your concern.

In fact, I tried calling Tara, but she isn't answering.

I need to know where she is.

Sorry.

[chuckles softly] It's okay. I understand. I'll figure it out.

I'll see you. Bye.

Good luck! [chuckles softly]

[groaning over TV]

[man speaking over TV]

[groans softly]

[sighs]

How long have I been sleeping?

12 hours.

You can't keep working like this.

You need a break.

Tara doesn't need a break.

She needs food.

[both chuckle]

Stuffed pancake, flat rice cake, and tender coconut dessert. Please order.

Done. It's on the way.

[doorbell rings]

Hi. Your order is here.

Oh! Um…

Give me a good rating, please.

-Hmm? -Hi.

[gasps] Hi!

-So? -Hmm?

You put your entire savings into the company?

You've rented out your own house?

-Hmm. -Chakri is poaching your employees.

So, you're having to do everyone else's work.

I am

impressed.

[chuckles softly]

-Listen. -Hmm?

Can we take a break from the dating? Please?

Yes! Please!

It's been a month. Enough, Matthew. I can't do this.

-Let's take a break. -Will you come to Pondicherry with me?

[upbeat rock music playing]

Yeah. My sister, she's performing in a music festival.

-Pondicherry? -Mm-hmm.

-With you? -Mm-hmm.

It'll be fun.

As I invest in your company, I'd really like to see

how you maintain your work-life balance.

Okay.

Are you planning to fly me in your helicopter again?

This time, no helicopter. I promise.

♪ Oh-oh-oh-Oh, ♪

♪ Oh-oh-oh-Oh, ♪

♪ Oh-oh-oh-Oh, ♪

♪ If you fly ♪

-[Matthew clears throat] -Hmm?

Oh, I'm sorry. Some pending work to complete.

-My team is working from there, so… -Yeah.

Thank you.

Send a mail about those 12 profiles. Immediately, yeah?

Coffee? Uh…

Medium-strong filter coffee, right?

Ah, but it's good coffee.

Uh, it's got a lot of milk in it, but the,

uh, froth…

Is missing.

Is missing. Ah.

I can't really say much about how they roast the coffee powder.

It's instant coffee, but try it. It's not bad.

[upbeat music playing]

Not bad.

[chuckles softly]

So, once on my way to Pondicherry,

my car broke down here.

These guys here kept me company for four hours.

Ever since, whenever I come to Pondy, I make sure I make a pit stop here.

[chuckles softly] Sweet.

After you send the email, you please let me know. Don't forget.

-Tara? -Hmm. Yeah?

Tara.

-Tara! -Yeah, yeah, yeah!

What? [smacks lips]

You know, sometimes,

just stay away from all the noise.

And just be

in the moment.

[waves crashing]

[upbeat dance music playing]

Hey! Are you following me?

Hey! Ah, no. I just…

No. I mean, on Pictogram.

[chuckles softly]

Dude, I'm telling you. That joke would've worked on you if you knew me better.

[both chuckle]

-One whiskey. -Um…

[pleasant music playing]

One moment, guys. [chuckles softly]

Hey, I'll be back. Uh…

Oh! Hello. Hi!

Um… Riaz. Hmm?

Um… Sylvia.

If I don't say this, I'm sure I'm going to regret it.

Let me save your time. I'm married.

How's Romeo?

[Arun] Oh, yeah. I'll show you.

[Kishore] Hey!

Such a cute fellow.

How can you think of parting with someone so cute?

Long story.

I'm trying to forget him, and he's the last link to my past.

Oh!

Okay. Let me help.

Next week, there's an All Pride event in town. Wanna come?

What?

[laughs] My gaydar is strong.

[both chuckle]

[cell phone chimes]

Oh, sorry.

Hey, no. Um, it's just my mum.

Yeah.

So you haven't told your parents yet?

Except for my two friends and my ex, no one else knows.

Now, I know too.

[chuckles]

[chuckles softly]

Am I a little late?

Too late. I have a 3-year-old son.

Uh…

Sylvia, I have a doubt.

Married people can have coffee, right?

Hey, I'm not trying to creep you out.

I just felt something genuine.

[chuckles softly] Hmm, okay.

By the way, I work on a cruise ship.

So, um…

yes, I'll be here for a couple of weeks.

Call me.

Cheers!

-To us! -Cheers!

[crowd cheering]

That guy was trying to hit on me.

Do you know him?

[indistinct chatter, laughter]

Oh!

[groans softly, winces]

Oh!

Hey, did he see me?

Shit.

-Is that your ex? -He saw me? No!

[chuckles softly]

-Mia! -Hey!

-What's up? How are you? -[Mia] Hi!

-You're looking nice. -[Mia] Thanks.

-Hi! -Hi! Hi, Mia.

Oh, my God! Tara, you are stunning!

Thank you! So kind! You're looking great, too.

-Thank you. -Hi, Tara.

-Hi, Sunny. -Hi.

[laughing]

-Uh, just one sec. I'll be right back. -Sure. Take your time.

Wow!

-I'm gonna let you guys catch up. -Sure.

-See you around -Yep.

-Nice meeting you, man. -Likewise, Sunny.

What's up, Mia?

Um… Okay. So I wanted to tell you.

Yeah?

We're seeing each other.

Sorry, what?

I'm really sorry I stood you up the other day.

Sorry.

It's okay. Don't worry about it.

Thanks.

For what? Missing the date was actually your loss.

-[chuckles softly] Oh, really? -[chuckles]

Yeah, just give me a sec.

You know what? I'm thinking of giving you another chance at this.

But I'll leave it up to you.

[chuckles softly] Okay.

-I got a show to do. -Yeah! Bye.

Mia, seems cool.

Yeah.

Did you see the guy she's dating? I really don't know what to say.

She seems to be clear. I mean, it's her choice.

She's quite sorted.

[chuckles softly] Yeah.

She's like her mother.

[chuckles softly]

And who are you like?

A bit like my mom,

a lot like my dad, unfortunately.

Who are you like?

Even my parents are confused about that.

[both chuckle]

By the way, they're separated.

[waves crashing]

Are they the reason behind Found?

Hmm…

They're one of the reasons.

[pleasant music playing]

What else?

Wait.

A love story?

-Is it a love story? -[chuckles softly]

Wow! Tell me about it.

Tell me about your love story. Let's go.

I was…

madly in love.

Five years.

Wow!

I had planned my entire life with him.

Actually, according to the plan,

I should have been pregnant by now.

-[both chuckle] -What was I even thinking?

Um, it wasn't like the perfect relationship. [smacks lips]

But it worked.

Suddenly, one fine day, he said, "It's not working", and walked out.

[chuckles softly]

Hmm.

We wanted different things from life.

Okay, your turn now.

Go on.

High school romance.

High school!

Yeah.

We decided in the 12th grade

that we would go to the same university.

One day,

she took me to an auditorium

and told me she's moving to the US with her family.

Ouch!

She was my first love.

Then we moved on.

Once in a while, we chat on Instagram. That's it.

Was that your last relationship?

-Hmm. -Hmm.

I didn't really have time for a boyfriend after that.

-Ah. -My entire focus was on work.

Don't just make excuses for staying single.

Let me tell you why you are single.

Hmm?

[sighs] You will tell me why I'm single.

-Yeah. -Hmm? Okay. So tell me.

What you are looking for is the perfect kind of guy.

But in reality, he doesn't exist.

Like everyone else,

you're afraid you'll end up in a relationship that's not perfect.

Wake up.

The world is filled with people like us.

Perfectly imperfect.

Okay. Now my turn.

-Mr Matthew. -Mm-hmm.

Your image, being larger than life,

-adrenaline junkie, adventurer… -Go on.

…that identity, it's just your mask.

I see.

To find a girl who can see through your mask

and actually see you for who you are is very difficult.

That's why you choose to be single

because you're too scared to show the person behind the mask.

What about you?

[sighs softly]

Do you see the mask or the real me?

[pleasant music playing]

You wear a mask as well.

But not right now.

I like this version of Tara.

Stop it!

[both chuckle]

-[yelps] -Hey!

It's just a baby crab, Matthew.

Some adventurer you are.

I'm not scared of it. It's just "ew."

You're not scared?

Hey!

Tara! Tara!

-Stop it! Stop it! -[laughing]

[Matthew groans softly]

Mr Adventurer!

-Scared of a little crab, are you? -Are you mad? What's wrong with you?

[romantic music playing]
