Original subtitles

Give me a chicken.

Come on!

Hey!

Look! There's Sooraj.

His class will be over soon.

You better get his number before he gets to his car.

Go!

Are you sure?

-Just go. -Come on!

We were late yesterday. She was loitering around.

Mom has asked me to take her home as soon as the class ends.

-Come on! Come on! -Do it!

Come.

I saw you dance.

Do you have any performances coming up?

Oh, yeah!

-Could you give me your number? -Sure.

-I'll give you a call. -Alright.

-Did you get it? -Yes!

-Excellent! -It was easy, wasn't it?

-I told you-- -Where's Divya?

-Divya... -Divya...

Come with me.

Let's search out here.

-Have you seen Divya? -No.

-Have you seen my sister? -No.

We thought she would be loitering around.

She had told me the other day that she was talking to a friend.

And that's the reason she was late.

But we looked everywhere we could and now...

It's just been a week since she joined this dance class, right?

And none of her school friends have signed up either.

Who is this "friend"?

Have you ever seen this friend?

No.

She just told me about this, yesterday.

I need you to think carefully before you answer my next question.

Did Divya ever mention the age of this friend?

Did she address this friend as, "he", "she", "uncle", "auntie"...

No, she just said she met a new friend.

Hey, Rithika!

My brother is really worried.

That's the reason I wanted you to handle the case.

We need a police alert issued for all locations.

Question everyone. Trafficking networks, sexual assault, ransom kidnapping,

even the bloody begging mafia.

If we don't find her within the next 48 hours...

And watch out for the begging network across Palayam and East Fort.

-What the hell, man! -Go get it!

Go get the ball!

You kicked it, right? You go get it.

The boys discovered the body.

The ACP and her team will be here soon. They'll give you the details.

What's the update on the forensics?

They're on their way.

Move! Move!

The boys playing football nearby, discovered Divya's body.

The girl appears to be the niece

of Deputy District Collector, Mr. Rahul Nath.

ACP and her team have arrived at the crime scene.

Mr. Rahul Nath has garnered a lot of attention

for his strict stance against illegal encroachment.

Any update on the Divya Divakar case?

Here's the case file.

A five-year-old is abducted and killed

without a ransom call.

She's the niece of a prominent man, Mr. Rahul Nath.

Here.

It's the postmortem report.

Dr. Shyamlal performed the autopsy.

A 42-millimeter long lateral stab wound to the abdomen,

towards the left side of the stomach, beneath the rib cage.

Bleeding due to an eight-centimeter-deep wound...

caused by a single-edged weapon similar to a kitchen knife

is the cause of death.

Another body of a girl from Kowdiar circle was found yesterday.

Dr. Shyamlal performed her autopsy as well.

He called me before preparing the report. He seemed suspicious.

A five-year-old girl.

An abdominal stab wound beneath the rib cage,

around ten centimeters deep, made by a 42-millimeter

single-edged weapon was the cause of death.

Any connection between these two children?

Nothing, except, both of them belonged to upper-middle-class families...

and were of the same age.

But, let me share my hunch...

both these murders seem to be committed by the same weapon

by the same murderer.

This is a high-profile case involving bigwigs like Rahul Nath.

We can't start a public investigation on a mere hunch.

You can pursue this line.

The media should never know that we're considering this angle.

But the details of this case are already in the public domain.

Any reporter can make the connection, that we just did.

If that happens,

the headline on all the prime time media channels will be,

"Serial Killer on the loose in Thiruvananthapuram city."

I need a full-time official from the forensic department on my team.

This is an unofficial investigation.

Currently, we're managing more than 200 cases in our district...

with just 8 officials from the FSL.

As far as I know,

there's only one person who can be assigned to this case.

But you might not like this suggestion.

None other than our Medico-legal Advisor...

After getting back from office,

me and my wife retired to bed immediately after dinner.

I woke up to the sound of our door being broken down.

That's when I saw a man with a mask...

And he was...

hammering my wife with an iron rod.

I've said this a million times!

While trying to defend, he slammed my head against the wall.

I became unconscious.

When I woke up, Lathika was lying dead next to me.

And my house had been ransacked.

I'm the one who settled all the domestic abuse cases,

filed by your own wife...

against you...

at your request.

But this one...

we know that you're clearly lying.

Then why don't you prove it!

Either you prove my testimony wrong...

or you produce some solid evidence against me.

Unless you do either of those...

I'll still be your superior...

and you my subordinate, the minute I exit this room.

Evidence, my foot!

He did it, sir! I guarantee it!

The doctor says he's cannot confirm if the wound on his head...

was caused by an unknown murderer or if he did it himself!

We should get him to take a lie detector test, sir.

He's a chronic heart patient carrying a pacemaker in his chest.

If we move to court for a lie detector test,

he would simply file a petition

to protect himself from the test on medical grounds.

It's over.

That may not be necessary, sir.

Hey, Sam!

What are you doing here?

I was bored. I was just going through an old case file.

Just a minute.

Why are you panting, sir?

No.

Is this a pacemaker or an ICD?

Hold on, sir. I have a question.

Where did you get it implanted?

-There's no need for a lie detector test. -Why?

Because, Mr. Issac has implanted a lie detector

in his body at his own expense.

His heartbeat is being constantly recorded in his pacemaker.

It can tell us if his heartbeat, at the time of the murder...

was that of an unconscious victim

or that of a cold-blooded criminal in action.

And that would tell us if Mr. Issac's statement is true or false.

Have some water, sir.

I'll come see you tomorrow.

Sir, who's the Investigating Officer?

Does anyone have an AR gun?

Hey, Aneesh! You had an AR gun with you, right?

Wow!

Looks like someone isn't getting the "Chicken Dinner"!

These guys are all dummies.

Anyway, the game's not half as fun without Subin and team.

Apparently, he has a lot of homework!

You're home early!

I won't be working at the headquarters for a few days.

I've been assigned to a new case.

Where's Xavi?

He's with Suneesh. They're in the backyard with some cooking gear.

Wow!

We're here with a special dish in this episode.

Delicious Mutton!

Goat!

A rare mix of goat, tomato and onion.

This will rock.

Xavi, just a minute.

Wait for your share, man.

We'll get more views if we show the oldies enjoying the dish.

Come on!

Gramps! Open your mouth!

Yeah?

Just wait, man! I'll get you some.

That's not it.

Just come here for a second. I've got something important to say.

Hold this. Get a close shot.

Okay!

You know, after completing my masters,

I've been hanging around in Medico-legal for the past year.

Yeah!

Today, I'm finally being assigned to a murder investigation team...

in Thiruvananthapuram.

Awesome!

-You know who the team lead is? -Who?

Dano, have you collected their statements?

Yes, ma'am, the primary details.

Ma'am, isn't that our Medico-legal Advisor, Samuel Kattukaran?

He's a direct recommendation from the Commissioner.

I have already asked for an intern from the Forensic Department.

Let's see.

I am the Investigating Officer of this case.

I don't want you interfering with the investigation.

And two, once a meeting is scheduled, you're going to be on time.

When Divya went missing,

there were around 30 cars in this compound

including those of the parents who were here to pick their children.

This is the only road by which all these vehicles can pass, right?

Yes.

There's an ATM...

around 200 meters from the road, right?

Why don't we check the footage from those cameras?

That may not be necessary, ma'am.

Divya was not abducted by a car.

We collected three foreign samples...

from Divya’s clothes during the autopsy.

A swab of green algae commonly found during the monsoon,

a powdered sample of white asbestos,

and droplets of sewage water.

Also, there was a cross-shaped pattern found on Divya's dress.

The cross-shaped mark on the right side, might be due to...

a scratch while walking close to the fence after the dance class.

Since, the route here is blocked,

Divya might have taken this narrow passage with her abductor.

See, the white powder we collected came from this asbestos,

as the bark of this tree swiped it.

I had told you about the swab of algae seen during monsoon,

that might have come from here.

The sewage droplets we found may have come from here.

And then...

Divya might have gone with her abductor on foot,

through this narrow passage.

Why don’t you answer your phone?

Your phone has been ringing for over 20 minutes!

Me?

What is this, Sam?

Ma'am, I am in the lab.

Collect the letter from the psychologist at Westmore Hospital urgently.

And one more thing...

I've added one more member to the team.

Give her the phone.

Yes, Shikha!

Please hold on. Let me note the number.

Yes, ma'am, tell me.

This is my landline number.

Remember everything I've told you.

Always keep an eye on the Medico-legal Advisor, Sam.

That is your primary objective.

You should inform me about the Sam's daily activities on this number.

Ma'am, the phone was on speaker mode.

So, you're a spy.

Isn't this a department vehicle?

Why don’t you put your seat belt on?

I don't understand.

Unless you wear the seat belt,

the airbags won’t work in case an accident happens.

-Don’t you know that? -I know that.

But where are you going?

To the psychologist's office.

What about you, Mr. Sam?

Could you direct me to Dr. Alphonse Kurian’s room?

-You guys are from the FSL? -Yes.

Rithika had called me.

We have completed Keerthi's report, but we need a letter from you.

Since you are the sole witness.

We came to you directly because she's a minor.

See, I had a two-hour session with Keerthi after Rithika’s interrogations.

She is perfectly fine except for a minor trauma due to her loss.

If you could give me a letter ratifying Keerthi’s testimony...

But I need the details of the case.

I'll get it, sir.

I need some details about the Divya case.

No, don't text me. I'll write them down.

Tell me.

Yeah, tell me.

Yes.

There's alkali in the marker...

and acid in the coffee.

You can easily break down the alkali using acid.

A simple chemistry trick.

Am I right?

By the way, what did you say your name was?

Kattukaran, you mean, you're Mr. Abraham's...

Yes, I am his grandson.

That's right, Xavier John's brother.

I am her uncle.

Come here.

Get closer.

Smile.

Baby!

Stop! I'll go first!

Stop!

In conclusion, even after this case has gained so much media attention,

the killer continues to abduct.

Which means, we have to stop the next attempt at any cost.

Divya’s case garnered all the attention mainly because...

the body was dumped in an open space

near the Corporation's compost-filling site.

They expect us to control the media exposure at a public space,

that too with our resources.

Our present priority is Devika, the kid missing from the amusement park.

I specifically asked you to be here by 08:00 a.m.

But, why is that...

As you pointed out,

the dead body was found in the open space next to the Corporation's compost pit.

The perfect spot to dump a body would, by all means, be the compost pit.

Why didn't the killer do that?

The concrete wall separating

the compost pit and the spot where the body was found...

is approximately five feet. Am I right?

So what?

Suppose, the killer was physically unable...

to dump the body over this wall?

Think about it.

The students from the dance class, the security at the water theme park...

and the witnesses from the previous cases,

have all said that no suspicious person was seen

at the abduction spots other than children.

And yet, the killer pulled it off!

Look at the splash pattern on Divya’s dress.

It came from mud being splashed on her, while walking alongside another person.

But...

the narrow passage behind the dance class is just four feet tall.

That means...

someone who can pass through a narrow passage,

and was unable to dump a body over a five-feet wall...

and had the least chance of being noticed by anyone

is the killer we are after.

What if the person behind all these crimes is a child?

The government pays you only for giving medico-legal advice.

We have a qualified police force, for investigation and evidence collection.

Moreover, watching Hollywood movies won't help you solve cases in India.

Ma'am, have you heard of Amarjith Sada?

It's difficult for us to connect the name of a child to a serial killer.

And yet, crime does not have an age limit, ma'am.

This is Amarjith Sada.

The youngest serial killer to be arrested in the world.

You know his age? Eight.

He was arrested for killing his own sister and three other kids.

All younger than him. He smashed their heads with a brick.

And this did not happen in Europe or in America, but right here in India.

In Bihar.

And he's not the only one.

Mary Bell, Robert Thompson, and many more

kids aged 11 and 12 have committed severe crimes.

They are behind bars in different parts of the world.

Otherwise, we wouldn’t need a juvenile system.

A wild, cooked-up theory.

I've heard enough of these wild theories from you and your family in the past.

Do you guys know each other?

We have a small relation.

My brother married her right after she passed out of the academy.

There were no issues between them...

except that she was a bit obsessed with her profession.

They had another child, other than Nayana.

They lost that kid due to her carelessness.

From that point, everything changed.

Arguments, fights, family courts, divorce and so on.

It's been six years.

Since then, there's been no contact between my family and her.

Sam, this is Mr. Abdul Wahab.

He has a DNA sample with him.

He wants you to crossmatch it with the sample from the Johnson murder case.

Whose DNA is this, sir?

This is the only lead to one of the most notorious cold cases...

in the history of State Crime Branch.

The first case of Rithika’s career...

and the last one before my retirement.

In the beginning of 2010,

four children between the ages of eight and 11 were abducted...

from Burma Colony in the outskirts of Thiruvananthapuram city.

Comparing the nature of wounds found on the victims' bodies...

and the modus operandi of the murders,

we worked out a victim pattern of the serial killer.

Based on that...

we predicted the time of his next abduction.

We closed all access into the Burma colony...

and conducted a wide search...

and soon we found the next victim, drugged and unconscious...

inside a school van parked on the road.

Soon, the driver of the school van was arrested.

BURMA COLONY KILLER ARRESTED

The entire press and media celebrated...

the arrest of the "Burma Colony Serial Killer".

BURMA KILLER IS BACK DID THE POLICE ARREST THE WRONG PERSON?

But within two months of his arrest, another child was murdered.

The same modus operandi, the same victim pattern.

Another abduction-murder, with the exact minor details...

known only to the police.

And to top all that, we collected a blood sample

from the nail of the fifth victim.

The murderer's blood.

It was a perfect DNA match to another blood stain...

obtained earlier, from a previous victim's clothes.

But it wasn't Ubaid's, who was still in prison.

It belonged to another unidentified person.

That was the last victim.

There were no more abductions.

We had arrested the wrong person.

I have that old unidentified DNA sample.

The murderer may still be alive, somewhere, beyond the law.

Yes, that's Ubaid Ahmed.

After he was released from jail,

he lost his job.

He was labeled a child molester in the eyes of the public.

I employed him, after my retirement.

Sam, this is our life.

Endless searches that go on forever.

Ma'am, he is a local worker of the party.

There was a flag hoisted by the comrades, next to the spot.

He was trying to remove it without being noticed.

That's when he witnessed the incident.

Vinod, tell ma'am exactly what you saw.

Can you remember any distinct features of this man?

Ma'am... it was dark out there.

But I saw his face very clearly.

He wasn't a man.

He was a little boy. He must be around 11 years old.

How can the police pin this crime on a little boy?

Is this a fabricated story to save the police's face?

If anyone spots or comes into contact with the boy in this image,

you should immediately contact the police helpline.

We'll be circulating this image to the media following this press meet.

Ma'am, we aren't happy with the police version.

We believe this is a story to save the image of the police.

Calm down, please.

Get it circulated, quick.

Madam, shall we circulate it through the peripherals?

Yes.

I know I was a little harsh.

But it's your wild theory that's become the solid lead in this case.

Why are you hanging around all alone?

Don't you have Dr. Alphonse's session today?

That's over. It's free time now.

Then, come with me. I want you to meet someone.

Hi, bro! What's up?

Don't worry, he is cutting chicken.

Say hello to your papa.

Hi, sweetie!

What's going on?

It's lamb.

Sweetie, I hope you haven’t forgotten your papa?

Why are you chuckling?

I look like a joker in this dress, don't I?

Yes, doctor.

I'll be there.

How are you?

Not now, if her mom sees this, she'll kill me.

Since it's an urgent matter, I asked you to come personally.

Have you received any tips regarding the sketch you released yesterday?

The moment I saw the sketch,

I was sure that I had seen this face somewhere.

Sometime back,

he was brought here for counseling from the juvenile home.

His name is Reuben Elias.

Right now, he is missing.

As I was undergoing cancer treatment,

it was our clinical therapist,

Mr. Jayakumar Menon, who handled the case.

He's been on leave for a while.

It was a few years back,

that Reuben's case was forwarded to me.

An eight-year-old boy who pushed

two of his friends in a well due to a playground dispute.

That was the day I saw him for the very first time.

I'll never forget the blank expression he had in his eyes that day.

Soon, I started therapy sessions with him.

After a long time,

I slowly began to connect with him on a deeper level.

...he was eventually sanctioned to make supervised visits

to my home, once a month.

After years of treatment, he began showing clear signs of improvement.

And then, two years back, everything changed.

After years,

I could see the same old blank expression in his eyes again.

I've been trying to find him and get him back to safety...

until you called me in, today.

This is enough to validate your child-killer theory.

Moreover, we now have his name and other details.

He can’t play hide-and-seek for long

with the entire state police force on his tail.

Ravi, what happened?

She slipped and hit her head this morning.

She's in the ICU. Come on.

Sweetie, sit here, okay? Mom will be back soon.

-Stay here. -Yeah!

Auntie! A chocolate please!

They might move her out soon.

We'll talk to the doctor. Let him decide.

Sweetie!

Malavika Das, six years old.

That is the spot where she was last seen.

We have secured the spot.

The child was sitting in the waiting room.

Her mother went into the ICU to see someone

and the child was gone.

Malavika went missing right after purchasing a chocolate

from the hospital cafeteria, at 12:15 p.m.

We've also found a chocolate cover with a sticker

of the Westmore Hospital from the waste bin.

Is that Mr. Issac?

He settled the case with his money, Sam.

There was no inquiry either.

The killings and the abductions have rattled the entire city.

The police, however, claim that

they've made substantial progress in their investigation.

-You're sure she bought it here? -Yes.

-Did a boy accompany her? -Yes.

Take care.

A boy with long hair?

Yeah, I saw him with her.

Have you properly tagged all the evidence?

Yeah.

Madam, I had my doubts,

but Malu's chocolate had been bought at this cafeteria.

We've checked the bar code and the time stamp on the bill,

and confirmed that she bought the chocolate here.

Also, this lady at the counter has confirmed

that she saw Reuben with the girl.

And since we've found the chocolate here,

it's clear that Reuben is behind this abduction.

What if the chocolate was deliberately placed there...

to mislead us?

You got the chocolate from the top of the bin, right?

While examining the bin,

I found a movie ticket for today's noon show at a nearby theater.

Do you notice the soil and dirt stuck on it?

It's from the dust blown by the sweepers

when they swept the roads, this afternoon.

The child was abducted around 12:15 p.m.

The people exiting the theater must have tossed the tickets

after the show ended at 02:30 p.m.

Then, the sweepers came in and swept the dust

and litter into the bin.

And yet, the chocolate dropped by Malu

who was abducted from the spot hours ago

is totally free of dirt and dust.

Sam, what do you mean?

The chocolate didn't fall out during her abduction, it was placed here.

After 2:30 p.m.

There's only one person who could have placed it here,

the man who abducted Malu.

What are you saying, man?

The whole area is under police surveillance since 02:00 p.m.

You think Reuben can walk in and place this chocolate, unnoticed?

Same issue.

We really can’t rule out what Dano Mammen said.

How can Reuben enter the police cordon and place the chocolate?

I never said it was Reuben who placed it.

See, this violet outer cover of the chocolate

could've been handled by warehouse employees, sellers and many others.

But this machine packed golden foil...

could've been touched only by two people.

Malu, who opened the cover first...

and the person who placed it at the spot.

But like you said, if this was placed to mislead the police,

that person must have taken care to avoid getting their fingerprints on it, right?

Yeah, they must have. Yes, they did.

Because, I found cotton threads of around six millimeters

from this golden foil,

similar to threads found in a handkerchief.

So, they must have covered the chocolate with a handkerchief

before placing it in the dustbin to avoid getting prints on it.

But, a trained forensic eye,

can see past the cotton threads, and the skin cells,

right down to the touch DNA within it.

Call Murali.

I got it from the Biotech lab at Kazhakkoottam.

What exactly is this?

This is basically a device used to analyze DNAs.

Whenever we touch clothing, weapons, anything,

some of our skin cells stick to that surface.

We can separate those cells and collect a DNA sample from it using this device.

A touch DNA Profile of the person who touched the surface.

Yeah.

These are the two DNA samples we found on the chocolate wrapper.

This is a sample of Malu's DNA from a half-eaten piece of chocolate.

The other, is the DNA we collected from Reuben's old dress from the juvenile home.

Let's see if the touch DNA from the chocolate wrapper

matches with Reuben's DNA.

The second person who touched this chocolate wrapper...

is neither Malu nor Reuben.

It belongs to an unidentified third person...

who's hiding behind Reuben.

And we haven't found him...

yet.

I'm at the Westmore Hospital right now.

Earlier, the police had released the whereabouts of the minor suspect,

and assured us that there would be no more abductions.

But within four days, Malavika Das has been abducted.

With this, the competence of Rithika Xavier IPS,

who is in charge of the investigation, is now being questioned.

Ma'am, people are scared.

No one is letting their kids outside.

At Lenny's school,

the parents won't let the kids use the school bus.

They are driving the kids to school, themselves.

Ma'am, we have a great lead.

We tested the DNA extracted from the chocolate wrapper

collected from the hospital premises.

Lenny, don't lean over the railing!

I've given you a bit of freedom in the investigation.

We must capture Reuben Elias at any cost!

That's our target!

Apparently, the wrapper is no longer an evidence.

She says she'll contact us if they need any forensic help.

Please come to the lab.

Nayana, let's go.

Did you purify the sample and run it again?

I ran it thrice and cross-matched them, just to be sure.

Mr. Wahab brought the Burma colony sample, right after you left.

The DNA you carry with you,

and the DNA we found on the chocolate wrapper are a match.

Which basically means...

the killer behind the Burma Colony murders, ten years ago,

and the child killings happening right now in the city...

is the same person.

Isn't this the spot where you dug up the dead bodies from Burma colony?

Yes, Karayikulam Reservoir.

This is the spot where we found the dead bodies of the three children...

buried deep in the soil.

A vast dumping ground lies right here.

But the killer chose to bury the bodies at a spot far from the reservoir basin.

This reservoir was full of water when your team arrived

to excavate the bodies.

So, naturally, you did not check it.

Shikha, call a piping company, and get a ground penetrating radar.

We need to know what lies under this riverbed.

What's going on with the assignment I gave you?

Ma'am, Sam is checking the postmortem reports of the children.

Did you and Sam visit Karayikulam yesterday?

Ma'am, that was just a leisure trip.

Give me the final report, when it's complete.

Who was that?

A personal call.

Make your personal calls after the office time.

What's this?

We're going to try something, no one has ever attempted in this case.

But first, we'll need Mr. Wahab's and Dr. Alphonse's help.

This is a complete list of every individual who entered

the range of CCTV cameras at Westmore Hospital

and were present within the police cordon, on the day of Malu's abduction.

Based on the evidence, one name in this list is our killer.

So, we're going to collect the DNA samples of everyone in this list

and match them with that of the killer.

This list contains over 150 names.

Besides, do you think the killer will just give his DNA sample?

No.

That's why we're going to collect these samples without their knowledge.

Shikha and I will collect the DNAs of the first set of people.

Mr. Wahab can help us in collecting the DNAs from officers in the force.

Dr. Alphonse can collect the DNAs of the staff at Westmore Hospital.

We're going to match the DNA sample from the wrapper

with every single one of these samples.

Including ours.

Now we're going to collect the remaining samples on this list...

until we find the killer's DNA.

What's up?

We are running the last batch.

No matches yet.

Sam, just a minute.

The child Killing case in Thiruvananthapuram city

takes a decisive turn.

The child suspect whose sketch had been released by the CB-CID team

is reportedly holed up in the nearby church.

ACP Rithika Xavier and team have arrived at the spot.

But, no media is being allowed inside.

Abhirami, reporting with Akhil Paul, from the spot.

There will be a briefing soon.

The protest against the hospital

which Reuben had escaped from...

has taken a violent turn.

Do you know the girls in these photographs?

It was I who sent them to the altar of Satan!

What happened?

See this video clip of the boy's confession.

He says it is Satan who made him do it.

Watch this portion carefully.

Note how he jerks his head to one side.

Reuben has poor hearing in both his ears.

And he is using a hearing aid.

All new hearing aids operate just like common Bluetooth devices.

They amplify signals from the surroundings.

So what?

So, if you could send voice signals into that device using a mobile phone,

Reuben might believe that the sound is coming from his own head.

It's clear that Reuben couldn't have abducted Malu himself

without being noticed.

There is someone who is controlling him.

What if the "voice of Satan" he hears, belongs to that person?

When a person enters the cell,

all his personal belongings are removed, except one.

A hearing aid!

You have obeyed all my orders to this date.

Reuben, this is my last command to you.

If he's wearing that hearing aid right now,

he's still under his control.

Reuben, it is time!

Hurry, Reuben! Hurry!

Come on!

Sir, the boy's crazy! We're in trouble!

The Commissioner is on his way.

Sir, we had him evaluated.

The report did not indicate a risk of suicide.

There's no point in telling me any of these things.

I cautioned you at the very beginning of this case.

What have you done?

I'm getting calls from everyone, from the Sub-collector to the DGP!

An order is being issued for

an internal inquiry against you and your team.

Sam, what's going on?

An internal inquiry.

But Shikha, I must know something before the case is out of our hands.

If the guy was controlling Reuben's hearing aid

through a remote Bluetooth device,

he must've been on the premises

at the time Reuben committed suicide.

Check the footage of every CCTV within the premises.

Look for any suspicious person, vehicle or anything similar--

Where's ma'am? Nayana is here.

Why is she here?

The maid brought her.

She needs to go to her hometown. Her child is ill.

Okay, come.

Honey, you see that?

What's she doing here?

Mary brought her.

She had to leave for her hometown.

But how can she-- Right now?

Can I take Nayana to our family home for two days?

No, that won't be necessary.

Ma'am, I haven't come to you with any personal issues,

including the past between you and Xavier,

ever since I joined your team.

After everything that has happened, I have addressed you as "Ma'am".

But right now, I'm talking to you as her uncle.

Let her stay away for a couple days.

At least, until this "Inquiry" issue blows over.

I'll look after her.

Come.

Need some more?

Yes, the fish fry is ready.

You heard me, honey?

Rocking, right?

-Have a seat! -Shall I give you one?

Yeah, I'll join.

What about us?

Yeah, it's for everyone.

Here's your share.

Honey, let's sleep.

Come on. Let's go.

Honey, hurry up.

Come, let's sleep.

We'll rock tomorrow, okay?

Bro, have a seat!

Everything is set for tomorrow.

We're leaving early in the morning.

Park, shopping, cinema etc.

How many years has it been since I saw her smiling, man?

The years after Rithika took her away...

You really don't know.

I quit my office out of pure grief.

Joined these youngsters with cooking, YouTube and stuff.

I want to make the next two days the most memorable ones for her.

I'll just come.

Sam, I went through the visuals like you asked.

That night, there was a vehicle parked outside the prison wall

close to Reuben’s cell.

The vehicle took off immediately after Reuben's death.

The driver cannot be seen and the license plate is unclear.

It's an old blue Honda Civic.

Shikha, I'll call you back.

-Sir, what's going on? -Mr. Dano's daughter has been kidnapped.

-When does the school bus usually arrive? -08:00 a.m.

-Don't worry, our team is with you. -Yes, hello?

Yeah.

Lenny was playing on the phone until the school bus arrived.

But we haven't found it.

Since Lenny has taken her mother’s phone to school several times...

You're awake?

You've been chasing us for a long, long time.

The chase ends here.

Don't you get it, Sam?

That's this bus!

It was here that those four kids came in, to breathe their final breath.

And now, so will you!

We're on the outskirts of the Kaviyaar Wildlife Reserve.

Westmore Hospital is just a five-minute walk from here.

The same place where your Rithika’s daughter is undergoing counseling.

All the four murders happened while Nayana was there alone.

You're wondering what this means, right?

Shall I tell you a name that you all have forgotten?

RUPEE DEPRECIATES IN VALUE

Name?

She is not dead, Sam!

Rithika and the public believe she is.

The video you just watched, Yes, that's her.

Navya Xavier, the twin with the same face.

Are you getting me, Sam?

Reuben is not the child killer.

It's Rithika's own daughter!

This video clip will prove it.

I never did anything wrong.

And yet Rithika made me a killer!

My family, my dreams...

I lost everything.

Similarly...

I am going to turn her 13-year-old daughter into a serial killer.

I will watch as Rithika stands by and witnesses that reality.

You sure?

Where's Navya?

Even if you kill me,

you'll never be able to save Rithika and her children.

Who the hell is behind you?

I remember you mentioning "Us".

Who's that person?

You've been running around like a dog all this time, pursuing this case.

And yet, you have no clue about who you were chasing.

And you never will!

Open it!

Sweetheart!

Hold her.

We've found the girl and the van.

We're arresting the driver.

Go! Get him!

Block all the roads in this area.

No, bro. I don’t see anything here.

Yes, I found it.

The lawyer has assured us, that we'll file an anticipatory bail immediately.

So, there won’t be an immediate arrest.

Alright. Let's go.

Come.

What happened, Mr. Wahab? Why did you want to meet me?

I was on my way back from the Commissioner's office--

Sir, why he is here?

Rithika, you're not getting it.

No, Sam!

It's not her. It's a fake video.

No, the video is original.

But the girl you see is not Nayana.

Name?

Now, I know where Navya is.

In this video shot on Ubaid's phone, you can see

the newspaper that Navya is holding is just two days old.

I traced Ubaid's route, before he came to my house that night

using his mobile tower locations.

He'd spent around three hours within this 500-meter-wide area.

And, that's Navya’s location.

We don’t have much time.

Navya’s life is in danger, if the real killer comes to know that...

I've taken Ubaid’s phone,

or if the police happens to find Ubaid’s dead body.

So, we are leaving right now.

Fix an appointment with the lawyer before this video leaks.

We also need an affidavit from Dr. Alphonse Kurian

proving the mental health and counseling history of Navya.

-So, I and Rithika will-- -No!

I'm not going anywhere.

You may continue the medicines you're taking.

And, try to avoid things that disturb the mind.

Doctor, there's something urgent.

We've to meet the lawyer.

So, we'll follow up after two weeks, okay?

Doctor, I've been chasing the killer for the past two days.

Out of the five dead bodies we dug up at the Karaikkulam Reservoir...

one belonged to an adult.

And it was several years old.

Along with the silt soil from the reservoir bed...

that surrounded the remnants of this older body,

we also found traces of red loam soil...

commonly seen in the southern parts of Thiruvananthapuram.

When I tracked down the origins of this foreign soil...

I came to know about this factory named Titan Chemicals.

It was at the center of a notorious environmental scandal during the nineties.

Doctor, consider this scenario.

A chemical factory that dumps harmful chemicals into the soil,

creates severe environmental issues,

forces the local residents to organize a protest.

The company, then purchases the immediate surrounding lands

at a high price from the residents, in order to avoid a controversy.

But one of the residents...

had a secret buried in his backyard.

To avoid getting caught,

he digs it up and buries it at a different location.

At the center of a reservoir basin, where no one would likely look.

This is a list of all the residents who lived there, during those days.

On that list, I've marked one name with red ink.

And that's the serial killer we've been hunting all this time.

She was the one who made me a human being.

Even after her demise, I was determined to push forward...

for him.

For my son, Naveen.

He was my world.

That cancer report shattered my life.

You owe me a treat!

My dad is here. Don't worry about the rain.

We'll drop you.

Get in.

Mom!

I don't know, how to tell you this.

Your chances of survival are minimal.

Mom!

Come on!

Mom! Come on! Quick!

Let's go!

What is it, honey? Where were you?

I was right here.

I have a school tour coming up!

We'll be taking the train!

That's great, honey. Sit here.

Uncle, what's your name?

Tell me, please. You don’t have a name?

Honey, leave him alone.

Let me see this, show me.

Show it to me.

Uncle, why don’t you smile?

Smile, smile like this.

Uncle, why don’t you smile?

Smile like this, smile...

Uncle, smile...

Smile.

Smile!

As I was wreaking havoc for my illness, on my victims...

I took great care to keep these secrets hidden from my son.

I was ready to do anything to prevent my son from having the same childhood,

that I had.

What is it, son?

Come.

Come, let's go.

Well, the good news is, we've got the victim pattern of the Burma Colony killer.

It's a matter of time before we arrest him.

Stop, right there!

I don't want a single vehicle to go through without being checked!

Take any suspicious person under immediate custody and get back to me.

But, she destroyed everything!

Yes, doctor?

The results of your latest blood tests are here.

Trust me, this is a really positive news for you.

This was the most challenging case

in the entire history of the Kerala police department.

We've only heard about psychopaths and serial killers

through English movies and novels.

You can be completely cured,

through a bone marrow transplantation.

Doctor, I'll call you back in a couple minutes.

This may be a rarest of the rare cases in Kerala.

Rithika brilliantly pursued this case,

and vigilantly collected the evidence,

and successfully arrested the culprit.

No!

My child!

With the arrest of this criminal, we need to keep two things in mind.

Firstly,

no other child shall suffer the same fate...

and the police department will make sure...

He saw his loving dad as a depraved animal...

before he breathed his final breath.

If the news of Naveen’s death got out,

everyone would've learnt about the terrace and the generator room.

So, I was forced to dig a ditch for my son as well.

Just like I did for my other victims.

Without her, none of this would've happened.

She could've easily ended up as my next victim in that generator room.

Baby, look at that!

Where's Navya?

My initial plan was to kill that child, inch-by-inch.

But fate brought Reuben to me.

And a much more diabolical plan began to form in my mind.

That became the driving force for my life thereafter.

I abducted one more child from Burma Colony.

I discredited the case against Ubaid.

The day Ubaid was released, I was waiting for him at the prison gate.

By manipulating Reuben and Ubaid,

I set in motion my master plan against Rithika.

That’s what you've all been witnessing.

It was me waiting inside that vehicle for the children, with Navya.

I'm perfectly aware of why I'm alive right now.

Whatever you find, including Ubaid’s cell phone and the location,

none of you can ever reach her.

Xavi, look, our daughter’s uniform.

Honey!

Honey!

My child!

Honey!

Honey!

Honey!

I'm your mother!

I'm sorry.

Doctor, your insurance policy just lapsed!

I don’t care if you found her.

You don’t have a single shred of evidence that connects me to this case.

Remember how you crossmatched my blood with that of the killer's?

What happened?

DNA profile is considered by every court of law...

as a unique identity marker of an individual.

And yet, that has an exception as well.

As a part of cancer treatment,

when a person receives the bone marrow from another person,

the DNA in the blood of the receiver will change into the DNA of the donor.

But the DNA in their hair, skin, nails,

even the other epithelial cells

will all remain the same.

A rare phenomenon of carrying two different DNAs within the same body.

The DNA we collected from the chocolate wrapper

was the old one from his skin cells,

but the blood he gave for testing contained the new DNA.

That was how Dr. Alphonse Kurian escaped.

A perfect match between the Burma Colony killer

and the DNA of Alphonse Kurian’s skin cells.

Our rock-solid evidence to lock him down!

To prove you are the killer, all I need, is a single strand of your hair.

Today, in Xavi’s Kitchen, we're trying out a special Mexican dish,

-My suggestion! -Welcome to Xavi's Kitchen.

The camera isn't rolling.

Hello, Rithika, what's up? We're all set here.

Hi, Xavi. I'm almost done here.

I'm about to meet Mr. Rajeev. I'll join you guys soon.

Okay, bye.

Here, this is the reason I summoned you.

This is the file of an old cold case.

I know you're spending the next couple months with your children.

In the meantime, I want you to study this file.

I'm tasking you with this case, as soon as you get back.

I'll need two people from forensics in my team.

We have a new case.

What about Sam, is he free?

No, he's inside.

-The investigation is in progress. -Okay.

I will call you when it's done.

We could've caught him alive, if you had reported

everything to the police,

when you realized that Alphonse was the killer.

Now that he's dead, we're facing tons of unanswered questions like,

"Why did he abduct Navya?"

"Why did he kill Ubaid?"

Sir, it was only when I got in the car, that I realized that

Dr. Alphonse was the killer we were chasing.

We find it difficult to believe that, Alphonse, who boarded the car...

with an intention of killing you, died in an accident.

Sir, I can’t help you with your disbelief.

I've said this before,

I lost control of the car during the struggle

and Dr. Alphonse Kurian died in the crash.

I got away because I was wearing my seat belt.

Mr. Issac...

this is my written statement.
