- Alex… - Yes, Rico?
- Kaalaan, you too come here. - Brother.
You go and get Paari.
Go get that well-cleaned double-barrel gun of yours.
- Go. - Sure thing.
Why, Rico?
Small mind game.
Don't get scared, Alex.
I won't do anything. Go and get him. Go.
Get me a lengthy rope.
And bring Joey too.
Make it fast.
Rico…
here's Paari.
- Hey, what are you doing? Leave him. - Brother. Stop it.
Rico, ask them to let him go.
- Rico! Listen to me. - What are you doing?
- Hey, let him go. - Brother, ask them to let me go.
- Boss, please - Tighten the knot.
Please let me go.
Give me that gun!
Rico! What are you doing? Don't shoot him.
- Rico! - Do I look like a fool to you?
Why'd I tie this doofus up and then shoot him?
Didn't I already tell you?
This is an innovative game.
New scene…
Hey!
Come, my boy Joey!
Tie one end of the rope to his leg.
And the other end on Joey!
You do know Joey's horsepower, right?
Once I shot a bison that weighed a ton.
Joey dragged it for five kilometers.
And his speed is like lightning.
But then there's an issue with him.
If he hears a gunshot or the sound of an explosive,
he'll run wild.
That's why I don't take him for hunting.
Everything should have a use, right?
You better answer my questions properly.
Or else…
I will fire this gun…
and Joey will run.
With your legs tied to one end of the rope,
he won't run alone.
He'll rip your lower body and run while dragging it all the way.
Sounds like a lot of fun!
- Isn't it? - Yes.
- Ready, boys? Come on, boys. - We are ready, brother.
Are you ready?
Just one question.
You have three chances.
Wasn't this all along a plan made by you and Blade?
Rico, no!
- Rico. - Chance number two.
Aren't you both a team?
I swear, Rico. No!
- Listen to me, Rico. - Chance number three.
Did you freaking do it or not?
Trust me. I swear, I didn't do anything.
You… leave.
Check if anything's broken.
Have you received the materials?
Check for faulty HD cameras.
Has the CCTV guy arrived?
Who are you?
- Check the cables. - Leo!
I'm sorry, sir.
I'm the Account Manager Senthil.
Please come in, sir.
Dammit!
When was your deadline to get this branch ready?
The shipment of the cameras got delayed.
Okay, but what about the rest?
We will get it done by the end of the day.
Local hospitals, police stations, shops, forest offices…
I asked you to keep the pamphlets ready to distribute in these places.
Are they ready?
I haven't received it from the Head Office.
That's where I'm coming from.
Those materials were couriered two days before I started from the HO.
Okay, sir. I will check it.
- Sorry, sir. - I want everything ready by morning.
Okay, sir.
I forgot your name.
Senthil, sir.
- Senthil… - Tell me, sir.
First, get me a chair.
Right away, sir. Give me a minute.
Here.
Water the plants on this side.
You begin a chore
and forget it halfway.
You have dug up here and there and spoiled a beautiful garden.
I didn't forget.
Our garden doesn't require frequent watering.
You have no idea about the amount of organic matter beneath this.
God only knows what organic matter is underneath.
Grandpa, you already watered that side plenty.
Why are you all riled up?
You too get inside the house. I will eat it myself.
Like grandfather, like grandson. Do as you wish.
THE HOLY BIBLE
Irai, your expression will rat us out!
Be normal.
I know it's hard to be normal.
I understand.
At least,
try to act normal.
I shouldn’t have come to school today either.
I just couldn’t get it off my mi-mi-mind.
It was a collective decision.
It's better if we forget it.
Okay?
Deal?
- Spare some change, please. - Alms, please.
By the way,
what if… he was al-al-alive
when we buried him?
This fellow I say!
Here comes Vicious Vinay!
If my dad knows about the incident…
Wh-which incident?
We will keep what we witnessed the other night to ourselves.
What are you looking at?
Nothing.
By the way, how's your jaw?
Someday, I'll catch you guys red-handed.
I will pay you back then.
I don’t think I will be coming for tuition today.
I'm not in the mood as well.
Sandy.
- You think we should pay Gilly a visit? - He will be alright.
All I wish is that he doesn't find any trouble today.
I pray the Almighty to forgive you and absolve your sins.
Tell me.
Father…
Don't consider it as a sin.
Assume you made a mistake.
Sharing it will lighten your heart.
Father.
Well, that…
You have hardly said a word.
Say something, son.
Gilbert!
Say it.
Speak!
Gilbert.
Sir.
Alms, please.
Forgive me.
Is it, Gilly?
Not a problem. I will collect them.
Thanks a lot, sir.
Pick the coins.
He didn't attend tuition classes today?
- Call him. - Santhosh.
Santhosh!
Bring that shirt.
Give it to me.
Count it.
How much is that?
How much more should it be?
- Fifty rupees… - What?
What does a boy of your age need something worth 50 rupees?
- Dad, the other day… - Do you know what this is called?
Stealing.
- I was the one who told him to take it. - So?
How can you call it stealing
- if our son takes it? - Shut up!
He took the money when I was asleep.
Do you think I was granted leave to mend your ways?
I must ask you that!
You visit us every week as a guest.
You vent out the anger of a week on a single go!
You don't have to be like Irai's dad, at least stop scolding me.
- Santhosh! - I will thrash you.
- How dare you talk back to me? - Go easy on him.
Please, let him go.
I'm going to my tuition class, Mom.
- He didn't even have coffee. - Like that's important now!
This is all I get for slogging for the family.
Even after being so strict, look at his behavior!
Is this how you raise a child?
Dear…
- Dear, why don't you get a job here? - Shut up.
Try to see things from Santhosh's perspective.
He would be happy to live with his father.
God, I should have just stayed back there.
He'd be happy if we all lived under one roof.
Give it a thought.
- There are many jobs here. - She's pestering me.
You can definitely find one, right?
Can someone answer the door?
Dad, aren't you sitting idle? Open the door.
- Reading newspaper at this time. - My respect is dwindling day by day.
Come in.
Hey, Santhosh! Tuition?
Yes, Uncle. Where is Irai?
Upstairs, in his room.
Irai said that you are bunking tuition today.
- You go upstairs. - Auntie…
Thanks, Uncle.
Santhosh, careful.
You dropped that?
Yes! It was me.
I will thrash you. Move.
Little Satan!
- Irai! - Suganya…
don't disclose Raagi's matter to Irai.
Okay.
Why do you look terrified?
Missed by a whisker! Like Actor Vadivelu in the movie "Friends".
- A hammer would've smashed my head. - What?
The less I say the better.
That little devil that you are raising here…
Don't you dare insult my brother.
He's less brother and more of a bother!
You…
It was your idea to bunk tuition.
Then, why are you here with your bag?
Yeah, still bunking it.
Then where are we going?
Greetings, you are listening to Central Radio.
Ninth of December, 2006, and the time is 8:30 p.m.
The headlines…
The students' protest in Delhi
calling out the clueless Union Government
on Unemployment has come to an end today.
Let's ask him.
Ask him!
Sir.
Yes, kids? What do you want?
We are Raagi's friends.
What happened?
There was an incident at this house a couple of days ago.
Some burglars broke into the house.
The lady was severely injured.
She has been admitted to the Central Hospital.
Your dad has assigned me the task of safeguarding the place.
When did it happen exactly?
Told you, a couple of days ago.
At midnight.
Leave, kids. You are not supposed to be here.
The cops are yet to find the culprits.
Those two guys mustn't be spared, Irai.
Two guys?
Yes.
Gilly, was there a theft in your house?
No. Why do you ask?
One of the thieves said their next target was the "pattalathaan's house."
"Pattalathaan" in Tamil means military, right?
Right.
Gilly, your grandpa is the only military man in our locality, right?
Oh, no! I forgot to mention it to the cops.
- Raagi! - Our teacher is here.
Don't disclose this information to the police.
But why?
Please wait. We will be back.
Come on, guys.
Excuse us, Raagi. W-w…
we will be back in a bit.
Hey!
It's the same guy!
Both incidents occurred on the same day.
But she says there were two of them.
The other guy has escaped.
The other guy knows that the thief who got killed by us has broken into my house.
The thief who got killed by "us"?
"You."
Gilly.
If the other burglar gets caught by the police…
he will definitely tell where he split with the dead thief last.
And the cops would straight away come to your place.
If one of the thief's family members lodges a missing complaint…
police would start looking for him immediately, right?
What if…
the other thief comes to my house looking for the missing one.
After the incident at Raagi's house,
he would know that the cops would be hunting for him.
So, he will not come in search of his partner.
The police have no leads to solve Raagi's case.
We have buried the jewels too.
So, the police have got no clues as of now.
Poor, Raagi.
Gilly.
If there's a chance for us to get caught,
it'd be through that other thief, right?
Yeah.
So we will get caught only if the other thief gets caught, right?
We don't even have an idea about how much time we have.
We have to come out of this vicious trap before the other thief gets caught.
Well…
you heard what Irai said.
Police have zero clues to nab him.
We have got enough time.
We shall work something out.
Can we dump the corpse somewhere else?
Okay, then you give a better idea.
Guys…
she is sleeping. Let's leave.
Okay, let's go.
Raagi!
- You idiot! - Hey.
- Are you crazy? - Hey, guys. You are still here?
No, Raagi. We were downstairs.
We will find him, Raagi.
Your dad spoke to me, Irai.
He'll nab them soon.
I'm just worried about my mom.
Raagi…
I meant, we will find him.
He is the one.
Irai…
I can't spare the one who did this to my mom.
We should keep in mind that we're just kids.
Only the police can catch him quickly.
No, Raagi.
- But if the cops find out… - You are equally important to me.
How will you find him?
Only we know that the thief, who also broke into Raagi's house, is dead.
But his partner doesn't know that.
Right?
Yes.
"Well, he's not dead.
He is alive.
But he is somewhere else."
The other thief should believe this.
If that happens, he will not even think about going to Gilly's house.
He will not discuss it even with the police.
We must find the other thief before the police do.
And frame it as if… after breaking into Gilly's house,
the deceased thief was seen in many other places.
If we do this before the police catch that other thief,
then he will not utter a thing about Gilly's house.
If that happens, Raagi's case will also be solved
and we'll escape as he won't say a word about Gilly's house or us.
Let's share everything with Raagi.
Why?
If we have to locate the other thief before the police does,
then we can't do that without Raagi's help.
And, also…
Raagi shouldn’t disclose anything about this to the cops.
Po…
Poor Raagi, right?
Alright…
But, how do we find him before the police do?
We have solid evidence that the police don't.
What's next?
See if you can find anything inside.
Join me.
Raagi, check if your Mom's jewelry is in this.
This is my mom's.
Raagi…
I will reveal his face. Confirm if it's him.
Mom!
Raagi?
Sorry.
We have to catch hold of the other guy, Gilly.
Come with me, Irai!
See if you can find something.
Take a good, thorough look.
Don't rush me, man.
Check thoroughly!
What do you think I'm doing?
What happened?
Let's go and help them.
Come, let's dig it up.
Well…
I'm not comfortable doing it.
You help me out.
He doesn't even carry a wallet?
Even if he had one, would it be his?
There is something here.
It's a cell phone.
Give it to me.
It's not turning on.
I think it got drenched.
It's bound to happen when you constantly water the ground.
It's a landline number.
A landline number?
A mobile and a landline number.
I guess, this will suffice.
- Did you find anything else? - Nope.
Let's fill it back.
Thank you, Raagi.
- Okay, bye. - Bye
Good night, guys!
Good night? You're kidding, right? Just shut up and leave!
- Bye. - Bye, guys!
