-Hello -Tell me& Dad

How are you… Son?

I'm fine… Dad How are you?

How are Mom and Grandma?

We are all fine… nothing to complain about

-But… [hesitates] -But what?

Tell me… Dad

Nothing… the same old loan problems are strangling us

We just received the last notice for your education loan repayment

We don't know what to do now

What does it say… Dad?

They have added all kinds of interest and now the amount has added up to 13 lakhs

We also have a deadline of 90 days

If we don’t?

They will go to court and take legal action

We had mortgaged our house for the loan so they will issue a writ order

And the house will be put up for auction and we will be thrown out of our own house

What are you saying… Dad!!?

Sigh What else to do?

What can I say? Sigh

Here I have completed my Masters in Forensic Science

But I still have not been able to find a job in my field

Anyway… don't worry I will do something

Okay… dear

Ok… I will call you later

Okay… dear

I have got the extra mangoes for you

Oh… Excellent thanks a ton buddy

Finally I can give it to the lean guy

That's been coming every week

Happy… I'll drop it and see you later

Okay… Thank you… Seenu

[knocking the door]

That's ok just leave it there and come

Okay

Hey Excuse me you can't just leave it there

My goodness! Can't you just wait?

Sorry about that

Seems like a terrible woman

She keeps yelling all day Just ignore her

-Hi here you go -Thank you

Thank you

Good morning… Gupta How are you?

Good… how are you?

I am fine… thank you

Will the potatoes be good this week?

Of course Why is the concern?

Last week's stock was completely spoiled

But I double check on purchase

You think I am bluffing?

I didn't mean that way I am just concerned about what went wrong

I had to go buy it again from the next shop after throwing everything away

Anyway… I hope that it will be good this week

Ok… I will check better next time… And one more thing… the payment from last week is due

Oh yes… You had asked I remember

I didn't pay you last week

There is another box-also…

And another thing I want to talk to you about your wife

What happened? Tell me

She is very slow in her work

She takes 10 hours to complete an 8-hour job

And because of the government rules I have to pay her extra

-Oh okay I will talk to her -Here is your payment

There's only $150… the bill was for $300

I told you I had to buy everything again

I am running on loss Anyway… let's see next week

I'll see you

Okay

He is cheating on us for the sake of money

Anyway… let's go

He is cooking up stories on rotten potatoes to reduce our payment

-Are all our deliveries done? -Yes all done

Only Justin's house is left

Oh that is still there?

It is ok… I will handle it

And one more thing… I won't be able to come tomorrow

What happened?

I had told you about the interview?

-Ah yes… -I have to go there personally

All the best!

-Thanks -Take your bag

Hey there how are you

Good

What are you looking at?

You have a beautiful house

Thank you… yes it is!

What's the problem with the car?

Won't start

Want me to try?

You can fix it?

I can try

You want some coffee or tea?

Sorry I don't have idli or dosa

You know idli and dosa? How come?

I love that stuff

I will try to get it next time

It is on you

Hey Swami

Look after the shop I need to go home for a while

He has left the cash tray open

How can I help you sir?

Yeah I just need a duplicate key

Wait a second… I need to withdraw cash from the ATM

Why do you need cash so early in the morning?

I need to pay the store owner

Oh… that fraud!

What is this calling him a fraud?

Then what do I call him!

To show fair wages as per the government norms he pays you $20/hour to your bank account

Then getting half of it back from you

Is this not cheating?

You're right… but he gave me a job when I had nothing else to do

So why this cursing? Everyone needs money

First quit this job and find a job for your qualification

You know that I'm on it all time

I have no ends without having a PR (Permanent Residence)

To get PR you had met with a lawyer and got your skill assessed as a forensic scientist

Did you follow up on that?

I am meeting with him tomorrow I will see you post that

Ok… Love you… Bye!

I spoke to Gupta

Is that necessary?

Whether you like it or not

You realise how important that job is for us?

Look at this place!

We cannot live like this forever

A house of our own…

A good house and a peaceful life

That is all I desire

I know Even I desire the same

I am not a slow worker as he says

He is just cooking up stories to pay me less

Ok leave that for now Are you ready?

Four… Five…

This is the balance vadagam (sort of pappadam)

Is that all?

Yes

How much is the balance?

$250

Let me give you the pending due amount now

-Here you go -Ok

Thank you

-Hello Akka -Hello Poorni

Careful

-How are you? -Ok

-Had your food? -Yes

-Seenu… how are you? -Yes… I'm doing good

-Can you hear me now? -Akka… Gupta

[mumbles] Let's go

Ok… I'll call you back

Ok… bye

I've spoken to her

Swami… did we get any customers when I was away?

No, no one came

-Did you finish? -Yes… almost done

Ok… once you finish up here… you go unload the stock that came yesterday

Okay

-Hi… brother -Hi… man

This is for last week $300 dollars for 30 hours

Is it correct?

Ah yes… it is correct

You stay here

Hey Swami… leave that stock work and come here

-Yes… tell me -Both of you go to my house

There are some items in the garage

Take those and pack them

Umm… and today is Bin Day

I forgot to keep the trash outside… so take the garbage from the garage and keep the bins outside

-Okay -Brother… the garage key?

The garage remote is in my car… Go open my car and take it

Okay

And come back soon… Don't sit there and chit-chat and waste time

Ok… We will be back soon

Did you see the liquor inside his car? Amazing stuff!

Yes

Do you want chikkies?

Where did you get this from?

All from the store only… stole it

How… man?

If only owner knows… Then you are doomed

Screw that man He is a high level fraud himself

Boss…

Don’t just say things like this to justify what you are doing

Hey… hey! Stop right there!

Do you mean to say that what he is doing and what I am doing are the same?

If you know all the fraud he commits then you won't be talking like this

Shall I tell you?

He issues the bulk billing medicare card to people who have no healthcare cover

Let me explain… If you go to the doctor without health cover…

Then it will cost you 100 dollars

But if you get a card from this guy…

Only 50 dollars

Remember the name and details on this card

If they try to verify any details… You do one thing… Your phone…

No… give me your phone

Here… use this phone

If there is any validation call… you can deal with it on this phone

Sir… what did you want?

-Dental? -Yes… dental

If you go for dental outside it will cost you almost 5000 dollars

But with us usually it is half price… But for you I will do it for $2000

Here… you take this private insurance card… Memorise the name and details

You will also get a validation call

Give me your phone and till then use this phone

Once everything is done… we can switch phones again

If you want anything else… let me know… We can get it done

We handle everything Medicare… insurance… even traffic offenses

Will there be any problems?

Don't worry… There will be absolutely no problems

All you need to do is pay a fine… We have plenty of international licenses

But it costs a lot

No no… you only need to pay the fine… No demerit points will be incurred on the license

Hey boy… careful with the card

-Don't forget everything that I told you -Okay

Okay fine… come to me if you need anything else

This is how he earns Commission for everything he does

Oh… I didn't know there is so much

Hah! There is much more Shall I tell you?

Yes

Ah… so this is why there are no CCTV cameras in the shop

But what more could there be?

Now he has asked us to pack things that are in his garage… Do you know what those things are?

Do you know where those things come from?

There are these nutritional centers here… you know?

Those places where they sell protien supplements and other health stuffs

He has a deal with some cheats who work there

He buys it for half price from them and sells it wholesale in the market

That guy just delivered some just this morning

-And immediately he wants it packed and sent -Wow!

Exactly! This is how he earns money through all kinds of such criminal activities

Money… He will do literally anything to earn more money

He has no family… no wife no kids

Then why is he so greedy for money?

Wife and kids are not the only thing… As if there are no other things in life!

Aha… So what does he do?

Hah! You really want to know what he does!?

Ok… but how do you know all this?

Hahaha… because I have also been to the bar which that fellow goes to

Oho! So you too… enjoy just like him

Leave that

I also go for those dog races

Dog races?

Yes… Greyhound racing…

How do I explain?

Those dogs that look like the Rajapalayam dogs back in India

They conduct races with dogs like that

So there is this guy who supplies stolen goods to him… I meet him there regularly

He was the one who told me everything about our owner

People like us struggle… study… hunt for jobs…

Don't get jobs for our qualifications and we continue to struggle here

But after cheating everyone… look at how comfortably this guy is living

Oh… well… Let us go

Oh… there is a lot here

Ok… you start packing this I'll go deal with the trash bins

Oh… damn!

Swami! Why are you throwing away your slipper? Can't you repair it?

Hey!

Who is going to repair all this here?

I will repair it for you… Swami

What? You repair footwear?

Yeah! If you need anything repaired let me know

Ah… Um… ok Let's see next time

What's in that tin?

That's an old tin of varnish… I didn't throw it away

So… tell me

What do your parents do back in India? You've never spoken about them before

Dad is a government school teacher… Mom is a housewife

My grandfather was a cobbler

My father was the first person in the family to go to college

Before him… no one had even passed tenth standard

We are a family that has struggled a lot to come to the position we are in right now

Are you the only son?

Yes… what about you?

My father is a chartered accountant… Mother is a bank clerk

My elder sister… I had an elder sister once

Had? Where is she now?

She buried our family honour and…

Forget it… Leave that topic now

Hello… Courier

Poorni… finish up fast… We need to leave -Ok… Akka

When will you eat?

Go… sit next to Uncle

Eat

Eat

-Hey… Ed! -Hi… Thiru!

How are you?

Good… good

I'll pay you now

Thanks… brother

Umm…

Thiru… I've only got $6000 here

-What? -$6000

No

I put $8000

Give… I'll check

Ummm… Ok… you take this today

I'll give you $2000 next time

No worries… bro

I'll see you tomorrow

Okay

Why so late guys?

Did you pack everything and send?

We packed everything soon… but the courier guy came late

Don't give me such lame excuses

Okay… Ed has delivered some things… Go stack them in the racks

Hey Puli… don't hang around too much with this fellow… He will spoil you

Hah This guy is Swami Vivekananda… you have to listen to what he says…

Poorni

-Shall we go? -Yes… coming

Akka… you had taken your mother to the doctor last week for her Alzheimer’s

What did the doctor say?

There is no cure for this… We just have to deal with it

Don't worry… Akka All will be well

Her memory is bad already… I only hope that it doesn’t get worse

Hey… Seenu is here

See you… Poorni

See you tomorrow

Bye… Seenu

Seenu… here is your food

Thank you very much

All ok?

-Go fast… run -Stop fooling around… Seenu

Weak as piss

Did you see his face when I grabbed these?

He was pissed

He was like… Are you going to pay for that?

Do I look like I have money or something?

What does he want?

What is he here for?

What are you guys doing here?

We are just having a beer… What do you care?

This is my place

Can you guys leave?

This is an empty block!

Just piss off… man

Do you want me to call the cops?

Tell me

Alright… man

We're just leaving

Let's leave

Swears at him

See what is happening because of you working all the time without any proper sleep

Listen… please take care of your health

-You never listen -Stephen!

You know very well… Both Poorni and I have no one

I came from Tamil Nadu and she from Sri Lanka

We don't have a house of our own anywhere

We are now struggling and working towards that dream only now

If we don't work hard now… when else can we?

Ok… Let's go have our food

You go ahead… I'll come now

So… how is the construction work going?

Oh… don't ask!

I bought that land under the condition that I will build the house within 2 years

But now only ten months are left

If I don't finish the construction by then… I will lose the land and also 10% of the deposit

The developer keeps calling me… but I have no answer to give him

How much longer can I keep avoiding the calls?

I was thinking of going to the bank and requesting for a loan again

But I am not sure if they will give me one

Anyway… How is his treatment going on?

Yes… Social skills training… Speech… Cognitive behavior therapy etc…

He is getting all that and it keeps going

There is improvement

But what else to do for Asperger’s syndrome?

How much longer is his treatment?

I don't know

I have this job… his mother is no more

I don’t know when I will feel it is safe to leave him alone

Please give me the dishes that you have washed…I will stack them… I will bring the rest for you to wash

-Here you go -Thanks… da

What is this? All the dirty dishes are as they were!

You will take the whole day

Gupta! I just stacked all the tubs that she washed

All these dishes are the ones that came just a minute ago

Don’t constantly keep picking on her… She works hard enough already

Go… You go do your job

Oh… damn

Thanks… Akka

That guy is always like this… Don’t worry about him

Did you speak to the lawyer? What did he say?

You have only 25 days more to finish this

Ok… sir… We will do it

Forensic scientist occupation is only available in the Geelong regional list apparently

Since there is no demand for that job… they may remove it from the occupation list

So I have to file the PR application within 25 days

Or else?

Or else the visa will expire and I have to go back home

Oh no! That should not happen

This will cost me $12000 to file this application now

Once I get the PR he will argue and make me stay here in Melbourne itself

But will this surely happen?

100% legitimate 0% failure rate

So he said that they don't take on cases that may fail because it will spoil their reputation

But we have to file the application within this stipulated time

Then what is the problem? Go ahead

Easy to say… Money is the problem

I have only 5000 dollars now

But he is very strict when it comes to money matters

I have to pay him the full fee upfront before he starts working on this

I can spare around $2000

Okay… Even then we need another $5000

Please try and do it… Puli

For me to get PR it will take at least one year by the time I complete my degree

Who knows what the rules will be then

Please manage somehow

Living in India after an intercaste marriage will be impossible

My family will create endless problems for us

If we live here then that will not be a problem

So please… try to get your PR as soon as you can

If I go back to India they will surely get me married to someone else

Please think practically now

What is this? Why the garbage is still here and not cleared

Seenu?

Seenu?

Seenu?

Seenu?

What are you doing here alone? I've been calling you for so long

Seenu

What happened?

Nothing

Then this long face is because of nothing?

Tell me what happened

That developer keeps calling

I have no answer for him… I don't know what to do

I think I will go to the bank once again tomorrow

Is that all?

And for this your eyes are so red?

No… nothing like that

Then why are your eyes red?

Hey… what are you doing?

Someone might walk in now

Aha! As if this is our house

For the house owner to come in and keep disturbing us

We have no privacy there

But if you want me to take my hand away… I will do it

Nothing like that

But just a few minutes ago… you were complaining about the bank loan and all that

And suddenly this?

When you are next to me… all this will come naturally

-Mr Seenu? -Yes

-Please come in -Thanks

Seenu… come in… Please take a seat

You already have a loan of $300,000 which you have not paid back

And now based on your salary… we can only offer another 60,000 dollars maximum

But to complete the house you will need at least another 250 to 300 thousand dollars

We cannot approve that It is very difficult

So… I am sorry

I understand your situation… but this loan is very critical for me

I am in a very difficult situation

If I don’t complete the house construction in another two months… I will lose the land

And also 10% deposit

So I need this loan very badly

If there is any other way for me to keep my land… then please tell me

No, I'm sorry I can tell you for sure that this will not work out

Without proper payslips… without salary increase… this is impossible

Please understand I do a lot of part time jobs… so does my wife

I promise we will surely repay the loan soon

Please… I beg you

Why don’t you understand if I tell you just once

Here there are a lot of procedures for these things

It is not as easy as you think

So please go see if you can make other arrangements

-For the last time… please… -I can't

I'm sorry

Hey… buddy!

I'm so sorry…

That I had to come like this

Seenu… please

Bro… just this one more chance

Let me try for one last time

I will talk to him

Sir

I definitely need this loan

I have put in all my savings in it

I can't afford to lose this land

Everything is gone

Nobody is even bothered to listen to my story

What's going on Dinesh?

He's got an unsettled loan already

And he does not have the proper documents

Or there's just no way we can help him

But he doesn't want to understand that

Bro

See

I totally understand

But this loan can save my family

Hey man… please save my family man!

That was really stupid buddy… Anyways…

All the best

What happened?

Please leave me alone for some time

No… I have to tell you something

Please understand

No… I have to tell you something important

Ok… tell me

Adam came and spoke to me today

He said that his daughter has got a job and is coming here with her family

And he said that he needs parking space because they have two cars

And they want to renovate this place

So?

So… he wants us to vacate in three weeks

What?

How can he say that out of the blue!

Wait… Let me go talk to him

Wait be patient… Don't go now

We don’t have any other option We will have to vacate anyway

Do you even understand what you are saying?

What can we do if he tells us to leave all of a sudden?

Do you think we can go live on the footpath?

I understand I know that it is not easy

But this is not our own place… how can we have any right on it?

Seenu, please listen to what I have to say

I have an idea

Come, come back inside… I will tell you

Come

You know Irene akka… don’t you? The unmarried one… I spoke to her

I told her about our situation

She said that only she and her mother live in that house

There is an extra room there

We can go live there

Her mother is an Alzheimer patient

So you are saying that we can go there now?

Yes… please… We have no other option now

Our time will come… but till then let us go live there

Come… Please… What do you say?

Are you done with your shifting?

Yes

I have someone who can help you

I met a man called Raghavan… He's from our place

He is also a builder

I told him about your problem

He said that he will try to help you

If you are ok with it… we can go meet him

Why didn’t you tell me about this earlier?

I met him just last week when I went for Martin's treatment

That's when I got his contact

When I spoke to him… I realised that he would be able to help you

This is the address

I think it should be this building

Yes… this is the one

Hi… how can I help you?

We are here to see Raghav

Your good name?

Stephen and Seenu

Hello Sir… Stephen and Seenu are here for you

Okay

-He’ll be here right now. Please be seated -Thank you

Hi How are you?

I’m good

He is Seenu

Ah yes… how are you?

I had told you about him

Let's go inside

Now I understand why the bank did not give you a loan

I can tell you from my experience, not just this bank

No other bank also will give you a loan

Actually you are eligible for $350 to 360K loan…

But you have already availed $300K which you have not repaid yet

Ok, what type of savings do you have?

I don't have anything like that

This may be risky… but let's do this

Risk? I don’t understand Please tell me what you are saying more clearly

Simple… Before issuing any loan… banks do a lot of background checks

So… their procedure is very elaborate

Also… they are not doing it as charity

So they will want to earn a good profit

And so they don't give loans so easily

And for those like you without proper documents actually they won’t care

And they will think for sure that you will not repay the loans on time

No,no I can assure you that I will repay the loans You need not doubt that

I know… Seenu

But they need your total income and payslips That is like their documentation

And your loan value… casual jobs… those won't be counted

I'm confused now

Can you tell me just this? Will you be able to get me a loan or not?

Yes… surely I can

I know a mortgage broker

I can get a loan for you through him

He is a gentleman like me He's a nice guy

He will be happy to help you

But…

We got to pay him a commission of 15,000 dollars

He has to prepare those additional payslips and things

Okay

I'll make sure there are no problems… I don't want anything from this

I will be there as just a builder

And as soon as the loan is sanctioned… it won't be paid out in a lump sum like other loans

It will be paid out in phases as per the progress of the construction work

So for each phase… you need to give consent to let me get the money

I will get the money in each stage and complete the construction

And after that you can repay it

But I don't think this is that easy

I'm taking this risk only because you are in trouble and came to me

If we get caught… I may even lose my builder's licence

So there is a lot of risk in this for me

Only if you trust me entirely I can do this for you

So don’t think much… I'll take care of this Leave it to me

You trust me?

Ah… ok sir

Good… So that is settled

Do you believe that he can really help us?

Hmmm

I think he can

He knows all that needs to be done

He looks like a knowledgable person

Ah… But that is why I am worried

We can trust fools… but trusting people who are too knowledgeable is a problem

-Are you already asleep? -No

What happened?

Nothing

Tell me, whatever it is

What are you expecting me to say?

-Who are you and what are you doing in my house? -Amma!

Have you come to steal?

Irene akka?

How do you know my daughter's name?

Amma, my name is Poornima… Irene akka and I…

Mom… what are you doing here? Go sleep

Who are these people and what are they doing in our house?

Mom… this is Poornima and Seenu; She works with me

Didn't I just introduce them to you this morning?

-Did you forget already? -I didn't see them this morning

They are friends… they work with me

They will be staying here… Now go sleep… Let us leave them alone

I keep forgetting everything… I don't know why

That’s ok… What are you going to do even if you remember?

Sorry children I am very forgetful these days

That's why I troubled you

Sorry

Sorry… I am going to sleep

-Sorry -That's okay akka

Why is he calling? Hello

-Hello… Seenu How are you? -Yes… tell me, sir

I want to update you on the status of the loan

Do you remember what I told you when you came to the office the first time?

I told you that you won't get a loan wherever you go

Payslips are the main document

Without that you can't do anything

We have some good mortgage brokers, I told you

You were hesitant, you didn't believe me

But see… just like I told you

Congratulations Seenu! Your loan is approved

You don't need to worry anymore

You can start constructing your home now!

-Thank you sir -Be happy… Seenu

And convey my regards to your wife

Hello?

Hello sir… Seenu speaking

Yes… Seenu… Tell me

I'm calling from the construction site

It doesn't seem like work is going on

Our Dreams…

Everything is destroyed!

Just what do you think you are doing?

If you just sit and sulk like this… it is of no use to anyone!

Can you please leave me alone for some time?

And where should I go if I leave you?

Have you forgotten about the child in my womb?

You are a father!

Be a responsible father

Yes… we have lost everything

Yes… we have been cheated

But we are not dead!

Seenu… you are stronger than you think you are!

Nothing is going to change by sitting and crying like a child

This has happened before… Haven't we overcome this earlier?

Believe that we will overcome this too

Come home soon

There is a lot of work tomorrow

We cannot be like this forever

Whatever happens… we will finish building our house

Hi… is Pulendiran here?

And you are?

My name is Devaki… I'm his girlfriend

Oh… is it!

I was in the area… so I thought I'd drop in and see him

Oh… okay… sister

Please wait… Puli will be here in a minute… Sure

Hey… when did you come?

Just now

Hey!

Hey… I know… I know

She is your one and only dream lover

She just told me

I want to speak to you alone

Alone?

You go and speak…

If the owner comes… I will handle it

Okay… I'll be back

You need to be careful with him… Puli

Why? He is a nice guy

I didn't like him

His stupid face and the way he talks…

Why?

What did he do or say?

So… what are you doing here?

I'm studying

MBA in Finance

Which is your hometown?

Chennai?

Oh… Chennai? I am also Chennai

I'm from Alwarpet… You?

Mylapore

What do your parents do?

Father works in the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department of the Government as an Accounts person

Mother is a housewife

If you don't take it the other way… may I ask you something?

Tell me?

Which sect are you?

That sect

Oh, so you are from the same caste

Then let me get straight to the point

You please don't marry Puli

Please stop associating with him from today

He will not be a suitable match for you

Your family will be destroyed

My elder sister did the same thing to my family

I'm telling you this out of that experience and concern

And that is why I'm telling you to be careful with him

Hmmm… okay

I will deal with this

Okay… you wanted to say something else?

They have found a groom for me

He is a software engineer in New York

Everyone in my family is happy with this alliance

They asked me if we can go ahead with the engagement

I said that I cannot right now

I'm afraid to tell my family about you… Puli

Please do your best and get your PR

Otherwise… it is going to be very difficult

Okay… have you managed to put together the money for filing the PR application?

I am working on that

Even now I just asked my owner for 4000 dollars

Hey… what is this?

There is $3000 in this

Keep this

File your PR as early as possible

Ummm… okay

Now we need only a little more

I will manage and file it by day after tomorrow

Umm ok

But tell me… how did you manage so much money?

I sold my gold chain and bangle

You don't say anything… It is okay

We will manage

Okay… let's go

Thank you

Swami?

What did you tell Devaki?

I didn’t say anything wrong

I told her what I felt

Don't interfere in things that are not your business… Swami

Otherwise… this will end badly

Hey guys… what is this? Wasting your time chit-chatting!

I was just telling Swami that I had asked you for money for filing my PR

Yes… and I told you that I will give it to you

Okay… I have brought some things in the car

Bring a trolley… Let's go bring it in

You have the guts to give me such dirty stares?

See what I am going to do to you

Hey Puli… when did you say you have to pay the money for the PR application?

In three days

Okay… you go I will look after

[mumbles] I just kept it here… Where is it?

What is this cash?

The cash till key!

Hey Puli… come here!

Coming

You are stealing from the cash till?

I keep missing 100-200 dollars every now and then…

I was blaming my absentmindedness

You are trying to cheat me?

Brother… why are you hitting me?

I didn't steal anything!

What do you mean you didn't steal anything?

My money… How did this come into your bag?

Brother… I don't know what is going on

What do you mean your money?

You've made a duplicate key to the cash till

You steal money everyday with this and now you are saying that it is your money?

Brother… I swear I have no idea how this came into my bag!

The money my girlfriend gave was in the bag

What girlfriend… what money?

Come… I am going to hand you over to the police!

Hey Swami… get him out of this place!

I don't know what is happening

Hey Swami… why are you silent? Are you also an accomplice?

Brother… I have no idea about anything

I didn't expect him to do all this!

I don't know how long he has been stealing like this

Looks like a customer has come… Get this fellow out of my sight!

Don't you dare show your face in front of me ever after this!

Hey… come out

He may go to the police and then you will not get PR ever in your life

My life!

Come… first get out and then we will see what to do!

Idiots… they are trying their dirty tricks with me!

Hey… go away

Get lost!

I know that you didn't take the money

Because I was the one who stole the money!

Why did you do that… man?!

Ugh… Get away!

I hated you ever since the day I found out who you are

People like you should be in their place… under us and subservient to people like me

You want to come here and become our equals?

Just because you are out of India… do you think it makes you my equal here?

And on top of that… you want to marry a girl from my caste also?

Never forget who you are!

Wherever you are… you are different and we are different!

People like you should have remained in India

You should never have been even able to come here

Or prosper in life

Do you understand?

Get the hell out of here now!

What is this… Swami? Why are you talking like this?

Even here you don't want to let go of caste and religion?

Won't you people ever change?

Yes!

We will not change!

Why should we change?

You and all are…

Get lost now

If you have some job suitable for your caste… go do that

Swearing

What Puli… have you arranged the cash?

You have just three days to file for PR

If I go back to India they will surely get me married to someone else

Please try and do it… Puli

What happened to your job application… son?

Please tell me that we are not going to lose our house

Get out! I will hand you over to the police!

If you have some job suitable for your caste… go do that!

You bloody thief!

Not enough that you stole from the shop… now you want to steal from my house also?

Brother… I repeat… That is my money

Hard earned money that I saved

What do you mean your money?

I kept you in the shop… trusting that you are one of our own

And in the end… you showed your true colors

Brother… I swear I did not steal

Give me back my money and I will be on my way

My girlfriend's money is also in that

-All this is Swami's fault -What girlfriend's money?

All my girlfriends are stripping me and taking my money

What is with your girlfriend being so generous and giving you money

Give me her number… Let me go and…

I will kill you

Don't you dare lay a finger on me

Let me see how you manage your PR

I'm calling the police right now

Good thing it didn't turn blue (So no blood trace)

Brother?

The door is open?

Brother?

Brother?

He asked me to come at 9am and where has this guy gone now?

Brother?

Sir… I have finally managed to arrange the cash

Where should I sign?

Here

Here in this place

-Thank you sir -All the best

How are you Dad?

I am fine son… How are you?

I'm good Dad

I have sent some money

I have applied for PR

I'm so glad to hear that

As soon as I get my PR I will apply for a personal loan and we can repay all our loans

Ok Son

Here… keep this

-Brother… I want to tell you something -Tell me… man

I won't be able to come to work from tomorrow

What happened?

I got a job in my line of qualification

Oh great! What job?

Victoria Police Academy… Forensic Department

-Oh! -My salary is 5000 dollars a month

Wow! That is a good salary

They just called me today I have to join next week

Sorry

-Hey… that is not a problem at all -Thanks… bro

Why are you thanking me? I should be the one thanking you

You have helped me a lot

Thank you for tolerating me

And thank you for everything

That's fine… Work well… do well… Call me if you need anything

Take care

Bye… bro

A few months ago an Indian shopkeeper Thirumoorthy went missing

In connection with this case it is suspected that he could have been murdered

Swaminathan who was an employee in his shop has now been arrested as per police reports

Based on Thirumoorthy's call records

It has been found that Swaminathan was the person who visited his house last

On further questioning Swaminathan has revealed that

Thirumoorthy has been involved in several criminal activities

Due to this it is believed that Thirumoorthy may have been murdered

By other criminals who were also part of his circle

However Thirumoorthy's cash and keys have been found in Swaminathan's possession

Also… his fingerprints have been found in Thirumoorthy's house

On investigation… it is suspected that Swaminathan could have murdered Thirumoorthy

And therefore he has been arrested

Further investigations are ongoing

In other news noted film personality and politician

Mr Kamal Haasan

Has inaugurated the Indo-Australian film festival that happens in Melbourne

You are listening to SVS Tamil news read by K S Bakirathan

Hey Seenu… how are you?

What are you doing here

Everything all right?

Ok

What happened?

Tell me… Seenu

You don't look alright

I've known you for a while

And you don't look alright

Is something bothering you?

You can tell me

Tell me… Seenu

You should have told me

You know I am a construction worker… right?

Seenu… can I ask you something?

Yes

Can we trust him?

Do we have any other option?

Don’t think too much now… Sleep

Hey… Seenu

Hi… Justin

Have a seat

Thank you

This is John

My builder buddy I told you about

How you doing?

This is Seenu

Mind if I take a look?

Yeah… please

Is everything okay?

Absolutely not

Let me put it this way

If I was a cop…

I would put him in prison right away

With all these fake documents…

Receipts…

And nothing would save him

Well it is lucky you are not a cop

You are a builder and my buddy

What can you do for him?

I don't know Jussy

But if we do things illegally…

We will end up in shit

What?

You mean?

Yeah

So it says here

That you received the money for the first three stages

Of construction from the bank

Is that right?

Yes

And did the money go to you or to the builder?

To the builder

What's supposed to happen is

That they release the funds to the builder

After each stage of construction

But you've told the bank

That the first three stages of construction have been completed

And signed off the consent for them to pay the builder

When in fact they have only completed stage 1

And working on stage 2… Am I right?

Yes

This is ridiculous

I don't understand it… How could you be so blind?

What do you recommend then?

We should finish it the way it was started

I recommend we finish it

The dirty way

We can't go to the insurance company

For homeowner's insurance

And you can't change the builder

And if we go to the bank

We can't get a cent unless we show that stages 1 and 2 are complete

But

You say the builder has gone into bankruptcy

Inform the insurance company who terminate the contract

Then get the bank to assign me as the builder

Then divert the funds

Then I can help with stage 4 and 5

But that still leaves stage 3

What do you reckon?

What do you think… Seenu?

I don't know

But I'm gonna work hard to pay whatever it takes

That I know

Do you have enough money to finish stage 3?

My boys and I can help you with some work

And I could give you some money too

No… no I can't do that

It is ok

Not giving you the money for free

It is a loan you can pay back later

I know

But

That is a burden for you… I don't want to do that

Seenu

You are a good man You deserve this

I know how hard it is

For migrants in this country

My grandfather went through the same thing

Ok

But I'm gonna pay it as soon as possible

Ok

John

Let's build this man his Australian dream

Beauty!

It's a deal

Martin!

Look straight ahead and walk

Hey, Martin!

What are you doing here?

Uh, I was coming to see you… To your house

What are you looking at on top for now?

Clouds, sky, stars, everything is there!

Did you find anything?

But now, nothing is visible

How are you, Stephen?

I was planning to come see you

Please forgive me

You had nothing to do with what happened

Let's not talk about that

No, we have to talk about that anyway

I don't understand why I got so angry with you

You don’t have any connection to what has happened

I am a fool!

Anyway, I was planning to meet you

There is something I want to tell you

Our house construction has resumed again now

How?

There is this person, Justin… He was helping us earlier

And now too… he is helping us

How did you manage the money?

How did you manage everything else?

Poorni had some jewels… I sold all that

Then some friends helped

I have also been meaning to give you something

But before that… we had that misunderstanding

So this is delayed a bit

But…

No… What is all this?

I had saved some money for Martin

But this is not necessary for me right now

But I believe that this will surely be useful for you now

No, sorry… I cannot accept this cash

I am responsible for everything you lost earlier

If I had not introduced you to that Raghav…

Then everything would have gone well for you

No, no! Don't say that

It was meant to happen, it happened

There is no use thinking about that now

I cannot accept money from you for this

Seenu, listen

I am not giving you this to rectify the wrong I did to you

Right now this money is not necessary for me

I also know that you will look after Martin even if I am not there

I'm giving this to you as a younger brother

Please take it

Thanks, Steve! Come… let's go

Come, Martin

This is just tea, Mom

Take it

Poorni?

Go give this to the others

Give it to me

Kids! Careful!

Here, have some tea

Brother, take tea

Justin?

Here, please take

No, I don't want… I had my tea already

I will never forget the help that you provided me

Whatever happens… I will take care of Martin

This is not just because you helped me

This is from my heart

I know, Seenu

You are one of the few good men I have met in my life

-Okay, Stephen -Bye, brother!

Hi Puli… How are you?

Hey man, I'm good. How are you?

Good, I'm good

I heard about your promotion as forensic officer

Yeah, yeah. Just got the news, man

Congrats!

Thank you

All the hard work has paid off for you

Finally… man… finally!

A little bit of luck too, honestly!

One second, I'm just getting a phone call

Ok

Ah… Tell me, Dad

Congrats on your promotion, son!

We just paid off the loan too

I'm happy!

Even I'm so happy, Dad!

Okay… how is Devaki?

She's fine, Dad

I will go home and tell her to call you

Okay

Brother, you!

Yes, it is me!

Brother, I swear I didn't steal anything!

I came looking for only my money

But I didn't expect it to go to that extreme where I kill you Please!

That was an accident Please, leave me alone in peace now!

Please leave me!

You are acting very nicely, man!

You want me to forgive you after murdering me?

I will never leave you alone. Ever

You have to face the punishment for murdering me

Please Please Please leave me. I didn't do it intentionally

Hey…

Hey, are you okay?

Sure?

You're sweating. Are you fine?

Yes, you go back to sleep

Why are you coming back to torture me?

How many times do I have to tell you? It was an accident!

It is a beautiful place!

So peaceful

Are you still thinking about that letter?

No

But…

This does feel good in some way

How many mistakes we committed to build that house…

This is probably an opportunity for us to rectify all those mistakes

The compensation from the government will be substantial

And we have experience in constructing a house

This time…

We will get a proper bank loan and construct the house

We've been running around to build the house all these years

We didn't get a chance to live our lives properly

At least now, let us live happily
