Title: REGAI
What? Dr. Pushpavalli?!
Sir, what are you saying?
The day I read her autopsy report for Amuthan at the station..
I got suspicious.
I immediately called her.
Hello. -Good morning, ma’am.
Tell me, Vettri.
Ma’am, on October 26th.. At the boys’ hostel..
A boy named Amuthan had died, right?
Yes.. -You have reported it to be an accidental death.
But there are scratches on his fingertips indicating struggle.
Did you not notice it?
Vettri, have I ever interfered in your work?
I have reported the available findings.
Please hang up.
That’s when she became alert.
But why did she kidnap Sandhya?
To prove the doctor guilty, we have only 2 pieces of evidence.
First- Kalidas. Second- This Divya.
Both of them are now under our control.
That’s why she has kidnapped Sandhya.
Sir.. What now?
Securing Sandhya is the priority now.
[grunts]
Tell me, Arivu. -Sir, I’m in Mugil’s hometown.
Apparently, Mari never came here for Mugil’s funeral. -What do you mean?
They didn’t do the funeral there?
Sir, Mugil’s uncle has reported Mari as missing in the local station.
Arun! We need her! Come forward!!
Why, sir?
Who are you trying to fool?
Is this really a medical trial?
Tell me the truth!
Don’t blabber with your half-baked knowledge on Pharma.
Ma’am.. If this is a trial for supplements..
Why are you taking routine tests everyday?
Did you know I bled from my nose last night?
Nothing happened to anyone else here!
Only you bled, right?
Look, Mugil.
You just worry about your commission amount.
Don’t unnecessarily talk bullshit to them.
Dude! Finally, the clinical trials are over.
Bro! The 2 weeks flew by so fast!
We’ve only got the advance yet.
Make sure to get us the remaining payment, bro!
Don’t you worry! I’m here to take care of it.
Hey… Why worry when Mugil and Joseph are here?
We’ll receive the money on time!
Yes, that’s good enough!
Let’s take a selfie together? -Yeah. Done. -Come in, dude.
Dinesh! -Guys smile! -Ask our guys to follow them.
Especially Mugil.
Their mobile phones are already under my watch.
Okay. See you guys!
Nobody suspected anything. The trial’s going well.
We’re needing 10 more guys. -Dinesh!
Look what he’s done.
Who sent you this? -Mugil.
Answer it.
Ma’am. It wasn’t a trial for supplements.
I enquired in all the agencies doing medical trials.
These were drugs that no medical agency would agree to test.
And you’ve tested them on us!
Stop blabbering, Mugil.
Where did you get the photos of those drugs? -Right there.
If I wish, I can take this to all news channels and earn out of it.
But if you don’t want that to happen..
Pay me 10 lakh rupees.
If something wrong happens to me or my friends..
We need money for treatment.
Hey! You’re threatening us?
I’m not threatening you. You have 2 days.
If I don’t get the 10 lakhs I asked for..
I’ll take all the guys who did the trial and stand in front of some channel.
Don’t answer his calls after this.
And hold the pending payments.
If they don’t get the money, they’ll fight among themselves.
[indistinct chatter]
Hey! Where is my money?
Are you trying to cheat us!? -Ouch! Stop it, dude.
Hey Mugil, you leave. -I’ll kill you. I dare you.
Come on! Leave me. -He has hoarded everything. -Leave, bro.
Buddy, leave.
Go, go.
Pick up the phone, dude! Pick up!!
[indistinct chatter]
Mugil didn’t just click pictures of the stock in the store room.
He also took the drugs used in the trials.
We got to know about this only 2 days after he died.
According to the doctor’s plan..
Kalidas took Dinesh to Mugil’s house to get the drugs and killed him..
And framed Mari for it.
Now if you kill me and Kalidas.. You’ll not have any proof against her.
Mari worked at the mortuary.
He knows Mugil’s corpse is the proof..
And has preserved it somewhere.
If we get it, we can bring Pushpavalli under our control. -Yes, sir.
Inba? -Yes, sir. -Go near the mortuary.
And investigate all the van drivers there.
Find out which van driver took Mugil’s corpse to his town, and hold him there.
I’ll be there in 15 minutes. -Okay, sir.
Sir, you don’t go alone. I’ll come along.
No, Arun. If we go as a team he’ll do something to Sandhya.
You ask constable Sundaram to get a car.
And take her under the station's custody.
Okay, sir.
Tell me! -On our way to his town, Mari asked me to divert towards the mortuary.
I got scared, and did as he said.
He made me swear that I wouldn’t tell this to anyone.
Where did Mari take Mugil’s corpse?
Somewhere near that store room, sir.
Come, let’s go.
Why’s the meter on in the locked store room? Inba..
Inba. -Sir? -Break open the lock.
Get up, man! You’re the mortuary’s watchman, right?
There’s nobody here. -Come back in the morning. Now, go.
Please tell me, sir! Kannan.. I need a small favour. -Tell me, sir?
I need to know if somebody has private access to the CCTV cameras outside the GH.
Give me 10 minutes, sir. I’ll tell you. -Okay, Kannan.. Thank you.
Yes, Arun? -Sir.. Sandhya’s family is creating a scene here.
They have complained that she isn’t home yet.
And sir.. The news has reached the ACP.
But he doesn’t know about the kidnap.
Sir.. Sandhaya.. -Arun.
I won’t let anything happen to Sandhya.
I’ll call you back.
Yes, Kannan.
Sir, like you said, someone is accessing it privately.
But we couldn’t track the location.
Okay, Kannan. I’ll call you back.
“Shall we make a deal?”
Vettri! -Doctor! -Who’s corpse is that?
It’s Mari’s son- Mugil’s.
They haven't buried it yet.
Now I have every evidence against you.
If you don’t hand Sandhya back to me..
I won’t spare you.
Not just that.
I’ll do a re-post-mortem of Mugil’s corpse.. And surface the entire truth.
Vettri.. only because you initiated to make a deal did I call you.
Even after knowing that girl is with me, how dare you raise your voice?
Do something.
I’ll send you a location..
Drop Mugil’s corpse there..
And pick your lady PC up.
Okay? -Deal okay.
Delete the mortuary’s CCTV footage from the cloud. -Okay, ma’am.
I’ve reached.
I know, Vettri. Where is Mugil’s corpse?
First send Sandhya to me.
Look.. If I give you Divya, I know you’ll easily frame me with the corpse.
I’ve disposed off her corpse.
Even the police won’t be able to find it.
You're a smart cop.
Look.. If I was here as a cop, I would have arrested you or shot you.
But I’m here for Sandhya.
Give Sandhya to me, and take Mugil’s corpse.
Alright, come in.
Sandhya! Sa..
Hey!
Sandhya.. Are you alright?
Sandhya! Look at me.
Sit down, sit down! Sit..
It’s nothing, it’s nothing. I’m here now.
It’s okay. Look here.
I’m here. I’ve come. I’m here now. Open your eyes.
I’m right here. Sandhya!
[grunts]
Hey! You! [grunts]
I should kill you for causing trouble, first!! -Ahh!
You bitch! I’m sure you’ve written fake reports for many.
Do you know what we’ve written in your report?
Chlorine gas sincock.
Asphyxia due to drowning.
Go to hell.
Ahh! Aaahh!!!
[coughs]
Ask Vettri to come! -He’ll be here, sir.
Where is Vettri? -On his way, sir. -Call him.
Where is Vettri? -Yes sir, he’s almost here.
What’s all this, Vettri? They went to the extent of kidnapping a cop!
Who are they? Why did they do it?
Sir, this was a clinical trial scam.
They did trials of a pharma drug that’s banned worldwide on 5 people from here.
The mortuary worker Maari’s son-Mugil, was overdosed.
So he threatened Divya and Dinesh- who were agents in this project.
That he will leak this matter to the media and the police.
So, Dinesh killed Mugil.
How is Dr. Pushpavalli linked to this?
Divya and Dinesh met Kalidas from the mortuary.
Ma’am, some people have come to meet you. They say it’s important.
We need a favour from you.
You’re doing a post-mortem right? -For Mugil?
He eagerly participated in our medical trials.
But unfortunately.. although it was a very normal dose..
he couldn’t sustain it.
In the name of trials.. You’ve created more patients for your pharma company.
Hey! Take him outside.
Oh Maari, why did you come here? Come, let’s go.
They’ll find out how my son died, right?
Do you know why I’m so honest with the people coming here?
Poor them. Because they can’t afford to buy me.
And selling myself short for them doesn’t make sense.
In fact..
The one on the call right now cannot buy me either.
Instead of a local call, if it’s an ISD call, I’m in for the deal.
Why? Should women not take bribes?
Ma’am.. Our CEO’s on the line.
If they offer 2 crores, I’m in.
I’ll share my off-shore account details.
Sir! She’s demanding 2 crores.
Seems slightly high..
High? Huh!
Just like a diabetic or BP patient
lives on medicines all their lives..
With your products..
you mess up a normal person’s organs..
And then give them your own medicines..
Turning them into patients.
And not only do you make money from this..
But your company also tops the stock market!
You want me to sum all this up in one report?
Alright, sir.
Ma’am.. There are 4 more boys like Mugil.
If you’ll take care of it all for this amount..
He says the deal can be fixed.
Mm.
8 crores.
Okay, ma’am.
Kali.. -Mm?
Here, ma’am.
Observe the 4 guys' lifestyles closely, and tell me.
Because, we’ll have to close them as accidental deaths.
I'll plan it out for you.
Right now.. For this death, I’ll write a favorable report for you, and come.
After Vadivelu killed Mari, what did he do to his corpse? -Sir..
Vadivelu chopped it into pieces..
kept it in the ice cream cart- And disposed it little by little.
How do you know that?
On October 27th, I told you that I chased a suspicious guy, right?
That ice cream cart guy was Vadivelu.
Did you see his face?
No, sir. But it was Vadivelu.
You didn’t see his face. Then how are you sure?
Sir, when I was chasing him..
Nobody was there except the two of us.
So I checked my phone’s tower history.
The only other number there was Vadivelu’s.
And the number never got activated again, sir.
What’s the proof that the arm he brought was Mari’s?
What is it, man? You’re here instead of your son’s funeral?
Um.. I had asked for some money in the office.
The clerk asked me to come tomorrow.
I didn’t want to be in my town, either.
That’s why I came back.
But what will you do here? Go home and sleep well.
To know how Mugil died..
Mari went to the mortuary on the 26th.
And when he saw Amuthan’s corpse there.. -Who are they, son? Your friends?
Yes, dad.
Yes, uncle? I’m also suspicious about Mugil’s death.
5 of us had attended a clinical trial.
I suspect he died only because of that.
You don’t worry. I’ll talk to Vettri bro.
You don’t lose heart, uncle.
When he saw all his son’s friends’ corpses come in one by one..
Mari became sure.
That his son, and his friends were murdered.
Kalidas! -Ma’am?
I’ll be right there.
Until I know what happened..
I’ll not leave this place.
Who told Mari the truth? -I swear, we didn’t say a word, ma’am.
I think he knows the truth.
Take him to some isolated place, and kill him.
Ma’am.. Mari is one of us!
Is that so?
Then do one thing. Take him to the nearby police station.
He’ll spill the entire truth.
And we’ll all be hanged.
“One of us”!
You should have thought about it before getting the money.
Mari knew that they’ll kill him..
And leave no traces.
Since he has worked in the mortuary for years..
He knows that fingerprints are the only identity for the dead.
So instead of the dead boys’ fingerprints..
He kept his fingerprints..
Trusting that the police will search who’s fingerprints they were..
And the truth will be unravelled.
That’s why Mari planned- And kept his own fingerprints for the 4 guys.
And he sacrificed his life, for his son and his friends to get justice.
You don’t do this, Vadivelu!
When you were in a fix, I pawned my wife’s nuptial chaain..
to lend you money.
Thi… This is a sin, Vadivelu!
A big sin..
You shouldn’t do this! Hey!
Divya has included all this in her statement.
This is Mari’s hand, sir.
It has his last entry on the 26th.
This is where the medical trials are happening.
Ask that area’s SI to go there..
check if any trials are happening, and update me.
Sir! Kalidas is being treated at the GH, sir. -Hey!
Good job, Vettri. You did very well.
Thank you sir. You are getting relieved from duty today, right? -Yes, sir.
Okay.
Sir she is Dr. Pushpavalli.
Sir! -Mm. Looks like an accidental death.
I haven’t checked yet. -Your brother died the same way, right?
His name was… Amuthan! Am I right?
Yes, sir.
Okay. You hand the report for this, and leave. -Sure, sir.
In Tenkasi district, Banned international pharmaceuticals..
were tested on Mugil, Amuthan, Joseph, Venkat..
and Mani from the neighbouring localities.
Five people died due to adverse drug reactions.. -Suresh..
[news] causing widespread shock. -I understand your concern.
But you never made it to my heart.
I know it’s stupidity to tell this after so many days of being engaged.
But, be happy that I said something before getting married.
Uh.. I understand!
I spent just a few days with you and still can’t forget you.
How can he forget you after months together?
I’ll talk to your uncle about this.
Have this food.. And keep this lunch box in my memory.
Uh.. Sandhya!
Don’t get me wrong..
What is it?
The chain I gave you.. Can you give it back?
I’ll keep it in your memory.
Here.
Investigations confirmed their involvement in an unauthorised clinical trial.
Further, the police have confirmed that Divya, the agent..
involved in conducting the clinical trial has been arrested..
and is undergoing intense interrogation.
To monitor such unauthorised clinical trials..
The government has formed a special committee.
Hello.. Vettri here. -Vettri!
The news says that the Divya you arrested gave you all the information, right?
But she’s just an agent.
There’s a big network behind all this.
Don’t assume it’s all over.
You are the next target.
I’m coming to India now.
Don’t try to run or hide.
I’ll look forward to seeing you in the same station.
Come fast.
