'The person you are calling is currently busy. Please call again later.'
[Line ringing]
Hello?
[Archana] Hi Alex.
[Archana] Sorry, I was getting too many calls.
[Archana] You know I have a case tomorrow.
That's okay. Where are you?
[Archana] I'm at the office now.
[Archana] Since sir is not here, I have to handle all the clients myself.
[Archana] Today's a nightmarish day, Alex.
Today I woke up because of a nightmare.
I've been calling you since then, but you haven't been answering.
[Archana] What nightmare?
I'm trying to forget it myself.
[Archana] Tell me!
No! Let's not dwell on nightmares.
[Archana] Where are you now, Alex?
I'm almost at my office.
Archana...
Are you free in the evening? Can we meet?
[Archana] Let me see.
[Archana] Alex, I'm getting a call. I'll call you back.
- [Archana] I'll call you back. - What time in the evening?
Hello?
- Hi. - Hey.
- Alex sir, right? - Yes.
Can I get your autograph, sir?
Your novel is selling like hot cakes, sir.
Then why are so many copies still here?
- Pen? - Pen...
What's your next book, sir?
I'm still planning.
Do you need any help, sir? I work here.
- You can bill these. - Okay.
Thank you.
Alex!
Sorry! Sorry! I couldn't get out in time. Too much work!
That's always the case.
I got bored. So I came in here.
I also wondered what an unusual meeting spot.
Since you're here, I'll get you a copy of my book?
I've ordered my copy, Alex.
I'll read it. Let me get free from all this.
I'll read it when it's just the two of us.
I've heard this a lot.
If not a copy, how about a coffee?
- What do you say? - Why not?
Come.
I'll just pay the bill.
After you.
Ma'am, your cappuccino.
- Sir, yours. - Thank you.
You're welcome.
You seem to have a lot of fans, Alex.
[Cellphone rings]
Hello?
Yes. The case was called, but it was adjourned.
So, the next hearing is on the 23rd.
Hello?
Yes.
Hello?
Just a minute.
Okay.
Okay. Bring the documents which Sir asked for, to the office now.
No. We'll be filing for one more stay order.
Okay.
You can sign it when you bring the documents.
Okay. Call me if there's anything.
Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!
You look restless, Alex.
Do I? Why do you say so?
It's become quite regular, your nightmares and you waking up in shock.
I don't know why, but these days I'm unable to sleep alone.
Is that so?
Wouldn't that be a problem?
You have zero plans to help me, eh?
Of course, I'll help. Isn't that why I'm here?
What was your nightmare about?
I'd rather not talk about it. It was disturbing.
You know? They say that...
dreams are certain chapters from the novel that our soul is writing about us.
Since you write about dark subjects, you're bound to have nightmares, right?
First, read my novel. Then give your opinion.
I said I'll read it.
You've been saying that for a long time now.
Actually, the reason I'm here is for...
- I was thinking... - [Cellphone rings]
Hello?
Yes, yes.
No.
No, no.
Sir is on leave, but I'll be there. I'll handle it.
No, no. Everything is sorted, so...
No. There won't be any problem.
Alex...
No, sir.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Okay. I'll call you if there's anything.
[Line ringing]
Alex?
Yes.
You're upset.
No.
What's up?
I know you're upset.
What can I do, Alex?
This is my job!
You know how it works.
You've seen how busy I was during your case.
It's okay.
You can call once you're free.
And even if you don't, it's all right.
Alex, it's been a month since I had a break.
One more week and I'm free.
Then I'm fully yours, okay?
I'll be with you the whole time,
wherever we go.
Promise?
Promise.
We'll go somewhere?
Somewhere far away.
To tell you the truth, that's why I wanted to meet you.
How about this weekend?
Like you said, just the two of us.
I'd love that!
Somewhere without phones or internet.
Or don't carry your phone.
Or I can switch it off.
If you switch it off, you can turn it back on.
But if you don't bring it...
Let's try it.
Even I won't carry my phone.
Okay. Okay, fine.
Thank you.
Are you still upset?
A little less.
By the way...
I have a surprise for you.
Surprise?
What surprise?
You'll see!
[Laughs]
I'll plan the rest and let you know.
Okay.
- Good night. - Good night.
- Okay. - Bye.
- Bye! - Bye!
[Cellphone chimes]
'Irul' [Darkness]
Alex...
Alex!
Yes.
So, where are we going?
It won't be a surprise if I reveal it.
What are you looking for?
Checking whether I carried my phone.
Did you?
This is a good idea.
A weekend getaway.
A holiday mood.
No work! No internet!
No cell phone!
Just you and me!
You're always on your phone, thanks to your court and cases.
So I had to make a plan like this.
You convinced me pretty well.
It wasn't so easy.
I've been planning this for a while now.
Alex...
You missed me?
[Engine stalling]
The car...
Oh, shit!
Forest, rain, a broken down car...
So, this was your surprise?
Come on!
- Come on! - Don't turn it too much and break it!
Let me try.
To break it?
Alex?
I was just getting the umbrella.
I'll go check.
- You're all wet! - A little.
Are there any more surprises?
Yes.
[Horn blares]
[Thunder rumbling]
I don't think I'll be able to fix it.
We'll have to call a mechanic.
But how will we call? We don't have our phones. - Oh no!
We don't have our phones!
I can see a light there. Looks like a house.
- Yeah. - House.
Shall we go there and ask for help?
Should we?
If there's someone in the house, we can make a call, right?
What if there is no one?
Well, it's not gonna start on its own, is it?
- Not really. - Then let's go.
Let's go.
Well...
Archana! What happened?
My leg!
Are you hurt?
No, I'm fine.
[Knocking]
Hello?
Anybody is here?
- [Doorbell rings] - Alex!
[Laughs]
Nothing! Just kidding!
Don't scare me, Alex.
See?
That's enough!
There's no one here.
Stop it.
There's no one here. See!
I hope there are no dogs here.
- Just a minute. I'll be back. - Where are you going?
I'll just check.
Be right back. Just checking.
- Now you've scared me! - Alex.
Come, come.
Let's go back to the car.
Give me a moment.
In such houses, the key would be kept somewhere here.
Right?
Let me check.
Nothing here.
What are you doing?
I'm checking.
Shall we go?
[Door opens]
Who are you? I mean... sorry.
Shouldn't I be asking that question?
After all, I'm on this side of the door.
Who are you?
Actually... our car broke down. So...
Can we use your mobile phone?
I don't use one.
What about a landline?
In this weather, even that...
If you don't mind, can we try?
I do mind...
but you're welcome to try.
This way.
Close the door.
Okay.
It's dead.
May we wait here till the rain stops?
Sure, why not.
Do you need dry clothes?
No, it's okay. I'll manage.
If you want... I mean, you're drenched.
To change...?
There's a room upstairs.
Go ahead.
Okay.
[Clouds rumbling]
Thanks for the clothes.
Thank you.
- It's not working? - No.
We'll try again, once the rain subsides.
Whose dress is this?
Mother's.
Where is your mother?
She's dead.
Oh!
We rarely see people who don't use mobile phones these days.
So when you said you don't use one...
Is that a crime?
No. I didn't mean that.
It's just surprising.
I tried using it once.
I couldn't get accustomed to it.
So you stay here alone?
Nice house. How many...
As your host,
I reserve the right to ask you questions.
And as my guests, I'm more than excited to hear your answers.
So I'll ask the questions.
Your name?
Archana.
Just Archana?
Archana Pillai.
Archana...
You're not a married couple, right?
Why do you say so?
An observation.
Moreover,
you haven't known each other for that long.
At most... two or three months.
Three months.
How did you know?
Observation.
The space between you two...
... makes it clear.
Aside from going on trips with your boyfriend,
do you do anything else?
Yes.
I'm a lawyer. At the High Court.
A lawyer?
People who convert lies to truth for a living.
Do you have something against lawyers?
Not against lawyers,
but against lies.
Whether something is a lie or truth, the court decides,
not lawyers.
Nor does the public has the right to say it.
Your truth could be a lie for someone else, right?
I don't understand.
See!
Facts are what is common between truth and lies.
Lawyers try to bring forth those facts!
Are you saying that there's no difference between truth and lies?
There is.
One can say the whole truth.
But not a complete lie.
There is some truth in every lie.
Oh.
Do you agree to that...
Mr. Alex?
Yes.
What?
Lies are masks to hide the truth...
... right?
- Impressive! - Thank you.
Are you also a lawyer?
No. I'm not a lawyer.
I'm a writer.
You're a writer?
Yes.
Tonight's guests are quite exceptional.
Alex...?
Parayil. Alex Parayil.
If it's a Hindi book, I might have read it.
It's a Hindi book.
But you may not have read it, Sir.
I've written only one book.
And it was published very recently.
The name of your novel?
'Irul'
Darkness.
Absence of light.
Did you have the courage to read his novel, Archana?
No.
You won't believe me when I say this.
I've had the courage...
and good fortune of reading it.
You've read it?
Definitely.
What did you think? What's your opinion?
Nothing. I have a very bad opinion.
What's your opinion about wine, Archana?
Wine?
Very good opinion.
You can help, if you don't mind.
What do you want?
Whiskey.
Why did you say so?
- What? - That you have a bad opinion?
That character in your novel...
The serial killer?
Yes.
You wrote that novel based on the murder which happened several years ago, right?
Yes.
It was all over the news back then.
May I make a criticism?
With your permission?
In your opinion,
the six murders that he committed...
Not six.
Five murders.
- Five murders. - Yes.
What was the motive behind those murders?
Vengeance.
Against whom?
Against women.
Vengeance against women.
How did you arrive at that conclusion?
All five victims... were women.
They were brutally tortured.
Apart from that, their hair.
He had shaved off the hair of all five women.
To go to such lengths,
what else could it be, other than vengeance or hatred?
[Chuckles]
Maybe.
But the motive behind his vengeance...
is not clear in your novel.
And I have a keen interest in psychology.
Thank you.
[Thunder rumbling]
Mother.
In vino veritas.
In wine, there is truth.
Mr. Alex...
Psychologically speaking,
there are shortcomings in your novel.
The motivation of the killer is not clear.
First of all, it's a crime thriller.
Not a psychological thriller.
It's clear in the novel that the motive is vengeance.
None of the readers had an issue with it.
Mr. Alex...
A conversation with an upcoming writer like you,
is something I've been looking forward to.
I have certain notions.
That killer in your novel...
... can be any one of us.
If so,
their voices shouldn't go unheard.
If vengeance against women is the motive behind those murders,
you must make it clear.
Humiliation.
Humiliation from women.
Could be.
Apart from vengeance, there could be other motives too.
What other motives?
Curiosity.
Inquisitiveness.
About the female body.
About their psyche.
I read about these murders in the newspapers.
And then, in your novel.
As per my understanding,
the motive behind the murders is not vengeance.
It is curiosity.
I don't think curiosity can lead a person to kill.
What if it's some kind of sexual problem?
No.
None of the victims were raped.
Nor was there any indication of sexual assault.
In this case, that's not a motive.
Then what was the motive?
I wrote this novel after an in-depth research.
My research hasn't gone wrong.
What kind of research have you done?
As per the forensic reports,
those women died after bleeding profusely for several days.
That means, the intention was not just to kill them,
but to hurt them.
There were cuts of all sizes on their bodies,
made with blades and knives.
There were rope marks on their bodies.
Proof that they were tied up and hung.
That means, kill them slowly and painfully.
Curiosity...? No!
This is madness.
Now the killer is a mad man?
Definitely.
One who murdered five women,
who even evaded being captured by the police.
Is he just a mad man?
An intelligent mad man!
I think he's brilliant.
Alright.
If so, what should be done with him?
What does the law say?
What do we know about the circumstances that drive a person to kill?
We can only imagine their state of mind.
I think these people have to be studied.
And...
that knowledge should be used for their treatment.
I misjudged you, Miss Archana.
Now, I have much to look forward from you.
I apologize for what I said earlier.
But in Alex's novel,
that murderer is killed at the end.
Is that right?
If a patient has cancer, should he be killed?
Sometimes, the cancerous parts are chopped off.
My intention was that such people should be eliminated from the society.
How?
- They should be killed. - [Thunder rumbling]
Stop it, Alex.
He's just joking.
After all, he's a writer.
His imagination runs a bit wild.
That's the thing.
Imagination!
That's exactly what I didn't like in Alex's novel.
How can someone write a story without imagination?
Experience!
All artistic creations are born...
out of experience.
So, you're saying...
if Alex is writing about a killer,
he should be a killer himself?
Absolutely.
At least,
he should understand the killer's state of mind.
May I ask you something, Alex?
Is writing your bread and butter?
No. Writing is a passion.
I have a business.
What kind?
Hospitality.
Tourism.
He's the owner of F.E.E.S.A.N. Group of Companies.
Partner.
May I ask you something else?
Despite having another source of income,
Mr. Alex, you became a writer,
to satisfy your curiosity.
Couldn't it be the same for a killer?
Like an artist...
for self-fulfillment?
Like a sculptor...
carving a sculpture from stone?
We've been talking for so long...
You haven't introduced yourself yet.
Who are you?
[Thunder rumbling]
- Alex? - Yes.
Archana?
Why do you have so many candles?
I am afraid of the dark.
Where's the main switch?
I don't know.
You don't know?
I don't even know where the kitchen is.
I have servants for everything.
Do you have a torchlight? We can look for the main switch.
[Door creaks]
Is there a basement?
Yes. I don't go there.
I think the main switch could be there.
Shall we go and check?
I'll be right back.
[Thunder rumbling]
[Door creaks]
[Groans]
[Thunder rumbling]
[Vase rattles]
[Door creaks]
Alex?
[Gunshot]
Alex!
Alex?
[Gunshot]
Alex!
What happened to him, Alex?
Archana, move!
Alex, what's going on?
Alex!
What happened to him, Alex?
Are you okay?
Alex, was that a gunshot?
Alex!
Alex, what's going on?
Alex!
Alex, just say something!
What was that sound, Alex?
Alex!
Alex, what happened to him?
Alex!
Alex, what are you doing?
Alex, where are you going?
[Thunder rumbling]
Alex!
Alex, what are you doing?
...won't let you get away...
Alex!
He killed...
He killed a woman in the basement.
She was hung...
She was hung there.
There are cuts all over her body.
Her head was shaved.
Alex, you're saying...?
Yes! He is that killer!
He killed those five women!
Alex, let's get out of here.
Alex, let's call the police. Come on!
How?! The phone is not working!
Alex, we should do something.
Alex!
Where are you going, Archana?
You won't be able to bear that sight.
Alex, please let's just do something.
Whom do we call in the middle of nowhere?
[Groans]
Don't hurt me, Sir.
Please untie me, Sir. I'll leave.
I won't tell anyone what happened here. Untie me, Sir.
I'll leave.
You won't say what?
Sister!
That you're the one who killed those five women.
It is Sir.
You think you can get away by blabbering nonsense?
Your days of killing women are over!
Alex, let's call the police. Come on!
I told you the phone is dead!
The phone isn't dead, Sister.
The phone isn't dead.
I had disconnected the wire.
Untie me, Sir. I'll go.
Please untie me, Sir.
It's working.
Alex, what are you doing?
You can't call the police.
Why did you cut the call?
You can't call.
I want to know what's happening here.
If the cops arrive, Alex Sir will be in trouble.
He knows that!
At least you untie me, Sister.
Untie me, Sister.
Alex!
Just listen to me.
Let me explain.
If the cops arrive, I will be in trouble.
And why is that?
This is my house.
This...?
This is my house, Archana.
Stop joking, Alex. It's not funny.
This house was the weekend surprise I told you about.
I thought I'll tell you after reaching here.
I swear!
If this is your house, who is he then?
I am a thief, Sister.
I broke in to steal.
I didn't know this was his house.
Please untie me, Sister. I will leave.
Then, the car...?
Why didn't you say anything when you saw him?
I got scared seeing a stranger in my house.
And I wanted to know who he is and why he's here.
It may sound foolish to you.
... I thought I could get an idea for my next story.
Now you've got an entire bloody novel!
Archana!
Untie me, Sister.
Set me free.
- Untie me, Sister. - Don't do it.
Archana...
What were you looking for over here?
Is that gun yours?
Yes, it's my gun.
And the girl in the basement?
I don't know!
We have to call the cops!
We will tell them the truth!
They won't believe us.
This is my house. And the murder happened here.
The shot was fired from my gun.
How are they going to believe us?
You're blurting out all the evidence and claiming that you're innocent?
He is lying, Sister! Untie me, Sister!
Get lost, bugger!
Archana, believe me.
Archana, you know me!
Don't you trust me?
Won't you help me to get out of this, Archana?
How?
I'll make him...
I'll make him say everything!
I will make him say it!
Get up!
I'll make him say it!
Sister, Sir is trying to frame me.
I'm saying the truth. I came here to steal.
I don't know about anything that happens here.
Sir's the one who's lying. Didn't he lie to bring you here?
Say it!
Sister, you met him only three months ago, right?
I will make you confess.
I'll get it out of your mouth!
Alex, you had your phone with you?
[Thunder rumbling]
Alex, you asked me not to bring my phone and brought yours?
We'll talk about it later.
- Untie me, Sir. - What else is remaining to talk about?
I'll go, Sir.
- Tell me. - Untie me, Sir. I'll go.
Why have you come here?
I haven't done anything.
- Why did you come to my house? - Sister, please tell him.
I came here to steal. Please understand.
- Who's that girl? - Which girl?
- Who's that girl you killed downstairs? - I swear, I came here to steal.
Why did you do this in my house?
Alex, this is your house!
- Let me go, Sir. - You're not going anywhere.
How many people have you killed like this?
- Alex, tell me what's going on! - Stop it.
I don't know, Sir. I came here to steal.
What have you stolen from here?
- Who's that girl? - Why did you bring me here, Alex?
I don't know who that is.
Shut up! Speak truth!
I won't tell anyone anything. I promise you.
Sister, please tell him.
- What is he saying, Alex? - First he said this isn't his house.
- I won't let you kill any woman! - Now he's saying it is.
You have to say it!
I came here to steal!
- Listen to me, please! - I came here to steal!
I'm saying the truth! The truth! The truth!
You have a gun!
- I haven't killed anyone. He killed her. - Shut up!
Will you shut up?
- Tell me what's going on. - Sister! Sister! Sister!
- Ask him why he brought his phone! - He will accept it.
He lied that he didn't bring his phone.
- He's the one who's lying. - Alex, whose body is it?
- The house, the phone! It's all a lie! - Why did you come to my house?
Why that girl is here?
- Alex! - Sister!
- Answer me. - How many people have you killed?
I know you're planning to kill her and blame it on me!
I will kill you first.
I'll kill her after you!
Sorry, Sir. It just slipped out.
Untie me, Sir. I will go away.
- I won't tell anyone anything. - I won't let you go.
I won't tell anyone, Sir.
Sir!
Archana!
- Archana! - Sir!
Archana!
Archana?
[Door opens]
Alex!
Why can't you understand what I'm saying?
Didn't I tell you not to make calls?
Then why are you doing that again?
He's not the kind of person you think he is.
He killed all those women, just like in my novel.
That too, in my house.
To trap me!
Why can't you understand?
If I hadn't come here, I would've been framed for all this!
You're my only witness.
Why don't you understand?
Why aren't you saying anything?
Is this the problem?
Do whatever you want.
You decide!
Not going anywhere, Sir?
Can I go, Sir?
Sister...
Untie me, Sister.
If you don't want to, fine. At least let me escape!
[Groans]
Leave me.
Can I get a drink, Sister?
Please.
Sister, a little more, please.
I don't know what he told you when you were upstairs.
We should escape from here.
He can't be trusted.
What did you say?
- Alex! - What are you saying?
You go there. I will ask him!
Go there, Alex.
Now, tell me.
Who are you?
I am a thief, Sister.
- What's your name? - Munna.
- What? - Munna.
Do you have any ID card?
Yeah, right! As if thieves walk around with their ID cards.
Aren't you a lawyer?
People like us try to destroy evidence, when we do such things.
While stealing, or while killing?
If you're a thief,
why did you open the door for us?
In a moment of desperation, I got stuck in front of you.
- Then, how long have you.. - Why are you asking me all the questions?
Ask Sir!
Ask him why he brought his phone!
To set an alarm.
To set the alarm for the surprise.
The surprise isn't over yet, Sister.
Yes.
There is a surprise.
His phone's GPS puts him here.
And yours, at your home.
Everyone would assume that you're at home.
Did you tell anyone that you were coming here?
I swear, I wanted this to be a surprise.
I brought you here to propose.
Why? Won't the ring fit if you're holding the phone?
You came to steal, right?
Aren't you a thief?
What were you going to steal from here?
What did you steal from here?
You're enjoying here after killing that girl? - Alex enough.
- What do you want to steal from here? - Move, Alex!
- What did he steal from here? - I will ask him!
Tell me!
What did you steal?
Isn't that what I asked?
Alex, you asked me to decide, right?
Now give me a chance to do it! Let me handle it, Alex!
Go there!
For how long have you been here?
Around 2-3 hours.
So you had the time to search the entire place!
You must have gone to the basement too.
I did, but I didn't enter since it was dark.
I'm afraid of the dark, Sister.
You have an answer for everything!
Answer this! What did you steal?
Tell me.
I've stolen.
What?
Tell me.
I can't tell you what I've stolen.
I'm not going to believe you, unless you reveal it.
Call the police!
I'll tell the police what I've stolen.
So Alex is right. You're lying!
I don't have to lie to you like him.
I've stolen... and it's right here.
Let the cops come. Then I'll reveal it.
I've had enough of your games!
I will make you say it!
But he's right.
If you're innocent, why can't the police come here?
I won't allow the police to enter this house again.
Again?
My mother died in this house.
Ask him how she died, Sister.
I'll tell you.
His mother was killed.
And the killer was never caught.
How do you know that?
Everyone knows his family's history!
Alex, stop it!
- Alex! - Where is it?
- Where's the stuff you stole? - Try to escape, Sister.
He's dangerous.
- He'll be trapped if the cops come. - Alex, leave him.
- Try to escape, Sister. - Tell me.
- Sister! - Leave him, Alex. - You get lost.
Alex, listen to me.
- What did you steal? - Leave him.
- Alex, stop it! - He is very dangerous.
- Alex! - Where's the stuff that you stole?
I will not spare you.
I will kill you.
I told you, right? He has done everything! Believe me!
- Are you mad? Try to understand. - Alex, leave me.
I will tell you.
Now you know what the surprise is?
What's this?
Where is this from?
I stole it from here.
So it must be yours, right?
Where did you steal this from?
Sister, now you got what the surprise is, right? - Shut up!
He is lying, Sister.
- Call the cops, Sister! - Why did you kill her?
- What did you steal? - Sister.
Tell me truth. Or else I will not spare you.
Sister, help me. He will kill me.
- Run away and inform to police. - Why did you do this?
- Sister! Leave me. - Why did you come here?
Stop it!
I need to fucking know what happened downstairs!
I slipped, Sir.
[Gasps]
[Gunshot]
He's lying, Sister.
- Everything he's saying is a lie. - Shut up!
From what you told me, there were two gunshots.
But I heard only one.
How's that possible? He shot twice!
That's not what happened, Sister.
That's what happened till I fell unconscious.
I don't know what happened after that.
What if that girl is still alive?
Sister, don't send him alone down there!
He will kill that girl. Go with him!
Go!
[Screams]
Archana!
This...
[Crying]
- She was alive till some time back. - She died just now.
Didn't he stop you when you tried to come here?
Archana!
Sir, don't hurt her.
Sir! Sir! Sir, please don't hurt her!
- Sir. - Archana.
Sir, you can do whatever you want to me. Let her go, Sir.
Sir! Sir! Sir!
You can do whatever you want to me.
- Archana! - Sir.
Listen to me. Look!
- Archana! - Listen to me, Sir. Let her go.
Move away.
Look at me.
- Do you think I can do this? - Listen to me, Sir. Leave her.
Move away!
- Archana, do you think I did this? - Sir, leave her.
You...
[Groans]
Alex!
Accept the truth. You killed her.
I will kill you if you don't say it.
Tell me!
Accept it. You killed her.
Tell me!
If I had done all this,
I wouldn't have wasted time talking!
I had the gun with me!
I could have killed the both of you!
He won't kill me, Sister.
He kills only women.
Is that what you think?
Who said that I won't kill men?
Do you wanna see me do it?
Kill you?
Just like how you killed her!
Do you wanna see it?
Tell me!
[Music]
[Glass shatters]
Don't come close.
Don't come close!
Archana!
- Just listen to me. - Alex, leave me.
- Listen to me. - Alex.
Leave me, Alex.
It will be sorted now.
Go away!
Don't you know me? Just believe me!
Leave me!
- Archana, listen! - Just go!
- Alex! - Why are you behaving like this?
- Leave me! - It's not like you think.
[Gunshot]
Archana...
[Crying]
Alex!
Go!
Archana, go!
The truth that Alex sought,
and the answer that Archana asked for...
... is me.
[Crying]
