Hey, Alex! Are you done cleaning? We are running late.
- Hey! - Yes, Rico?
Tell me, Rico?
Does this have caller ID?
- Probably. - So all calls will be recorded?
Hopefully… yes, sir.
Do you know how to retrieve them?
I do.
- Your educational qualification? - Mechanical engineering.
Go ahead.
- Mr. Parasparam? - Yes, speaking. Tell me.
One of your friends left his phone here.
I didn't know where to return the phone.
But I found your landline number. Hence, I'm calling you.
He might be my customer, not my friend.
- Where did you see him? - Near Pookkadu.
He was rushing with a bag of jewels, next to a bar.
He said he got a bag three days ago at Rettamugadu.
Bring the phone. We'll find the owner and return the bag.
Those guys are downstairs. They can come here at any moment.
Let's hide him until they leave.
Let's get on with it.
Irai, come here at once.
Two of you lift his legs and I will carry his shoulder.
- Hold his leg, Irai. - Two, three, up!
Careful!
Lift!
It's not that easy.
- Guys! - Rico?
We finished off a guy upstairs and you're drinking here?
How do we clear up this blood stain?
Let's make them believe that this is also Parasparam's blood.
- Go and check, you doofus! - Let's go.
Lift him.
Hey! I can hear footsteps.
Hurry up!
Sandy, quick!
Nobody's here.
Alex, are you in here?
He is not here.
Guess that jerk just moved the corpse and left.
Forget him. Fetch some water.
Come on, hurry up. Wipe it clean.
They are here.
Kittu, you hold his shoulder.
Put on the sandals.
Guys!
People are coming in.
- Lift him. - Wait, let me put the sandal on his feet.
Hold his legs.
Lift him.
They left. Open the door.
Where is Alex?
We brought down the corpse. Alex is nowhere to be seen.
He must've gotten upset and left because I made him clean up.
He'll be back. Let's go.
Hold the head properly!
They are leaving.
Here you go. The bullet got the phone too.
All our efforts went down the drain.
What about this corpse?
Wish we were in your backyard.
I can hear movements around the house.
We have to leave this place at once.
To begin with, let's clear the fingerprints.
What do you say, Irai?
Irai!
Let's clear the prints.
Let's not bother about the corpse.
Let's leave it here.
Before Irai shot him,
there was a confrontation here…
and a murder took place.
So…
let this also appear as the doing of those gangsters.
The other thief seems to be a part of a huge gang.
Shooting, violence, and murder…
these idiots can't think straight and are likely to do more such things.
In Gilly's case, we were scared that some evidence would lead the cops to us.
Now, all the evidence is naturally pointing at the gang.
Or let's set it up like that.
What's the bottom line?
I suggest that we go to the police.
I mean… not directly.
Using the corpse.
Dude, what are you doing?
After all the big talk, are you going to leave silly clues?
Are you inspired by old movies?
Irai shot at his cheeks. How can he write?
Not the cheeks but the neck.
It'd take a few minutes to die from a ruptured and bleeding neck.
He could write.
The whole gang came to Paneer aka Parasparam's house…
looking for that thief, whom we buried.
And the other thief?
Paari.
- The one who broke into Gilly's house? - Blade.
The head of their gang?
Rico.
Cops will hunt for them.
And the evidence…
is this corpse.
We will set up the clues accordingly.
So, just like you wanted, Paari will be arrested.
But not for your mom's case.
But for being a part of Rico's gang.
So, we are going to save Irai by framing Rico?
What about the bullet impression?
Should look like he was shot inside the cupboard, right?
Pass me the gun.
There you go.
Lend a hand, Gilly.
Hold this.
Bala, now you are scaring us.
What's the time?
Listen…
the cop's son, did you check in his house?
Not yet, sir.
I don't know his address.
I don't even have his phone number.
I'm sure that all the kids must be at his place.
Irai, take out all the things from your bag.
Bala, hold this.
Rico, what's the update?
Leo, we have a situation.
Any news about Blade?
No.
But Paneer received a call regarding Blade.
It was a kid's voice.
The call was made from a public phone.
But we found nobody at that location.
A kid? Okay, I'll call you later.
Hi, sir.
Leo.
What are you doing here at this odd hour?
Still adapting to the new place.
I couldn't sleep. So, stepped out for a walk.
Why are you here?
Irai and his friends have been missing since evening. We are looking for them.
They must be somewhere around here.
Is he your son?
Yes. Start the vehicle.
Come along. Move.
- I will join you. - Go straight.
Hey!
They are nowhere to be found.
Did someone kidnap them?
No. Nothing of that sort would have happened.
Didn't you say that 10,000 rupees went missing this morning?
I think they planned a secret outing.
They are capable of that, Dad.
Did they really steal the money and go?
Would they be audacious enough to steal money?
I don't think so.
I thought they were just having fun as a group.
These kids are going overboard.
I'm going to clean out all those secret hang-out places!
In case I find out you're hanging out there…
you are a goner.
Stop, guys.
Why?
It's my mom.
Not just your mom the whole town has gathered.
Fine.
Come on, let's go to the other side.
- Take right. - Don't get spotted.
Stop, guys.
Sandy.
Hand me that shirt.
Why?
Hey, come on, guys.
These kids have become quite gutsy.
Sir?
Who's that? Why is he coming with our kids?
How come you are with the kids?
Bala, you!
- What is it, Mom? - Where were you?
I was with Mr. Mahalingam.
Santhosh directly met me at the office to subside my anger.
As other guys were with him…
I took them for a short trip.
Mom…
Raagi was feeling sick while staying inside.
So, I insisted Uncle Mahalingam to take us for a day trip.
I to-to-took that money to buy Raagi's medicine shot.
We all were worried.
You could've called us once.
- We have scoured the forest all night. - Sir.
Since it was just a day's trip with the kids…
No, sir. Not without the parent's permission!
Where were you roaming around?
Roaming around?
Does it make a difference?
A girl from our place,
and a teacher, who's our neighbor,
were beaten up and robbed.
I would have been more focused on finding those thieves.
Your lousy subordinates were looking for the thief, right?
But when your son went missing, all of a sudden you're on your toes!
Intimidating me is not gonna help.
See if you can crack that girl's case.
Alright.
Now that the kids are back,
- let's go home and discuss. - He's right. Let's go.
Come on.
They have marked the houses and looted them.
So, they must be outsiders.
I reckon they would not have stopped after looting one house.
Sir.
We haven't received any burglary complaints.
Or maybe the housemates aren't aware of the burglary.
Many visit Gilly's house. Even the elders won't remember them.
I didn't prescribe this composition.
I think this might belong to an outsider.
- Does this belong to you? - No, son.
The reports are ready.
Based on these reports,
can you identify the accused with a medical history?
I did give it a shot.
No matches.
I don't think that the entire data has been digitized.
- Okay, thank you. - Thank you, sir.
Do you know any criminals with wheezing problems?
Why do you ask?
When I got transferred to this place,
I know a criminal who matches the requirement.
It was about eight months ago.
- Eight months? Let's check. - Sure? Yeah!
I will check it and will revert.
Irai.
What?
Come out. Let's discuss it.
You are in school uniforms…
yet you are here?
We were scared that it was a serious issue.
No. This is a routine procedure. You may leave.
Let them do their job.
Chezhian, you carry on.
What do you think happened?
No idea.
N-n-no idea!
- This is just a routine check-up. - Okay.
But the guy who broke into Raagi's house was here.
So, to confirm the same…
The inhaler he found here.
How much effort do we need to put in?
One or the other thing keeps popping up!
I'm worried.
I told him that it was my grandpa's inhaler.
There were many prints in the kitchen.
He was stuck in the closet for long.
I guess one of you frequented the kitchen.
Have you identified him?
We know who he is. We have his photo. We are looking out for him.
I'm not convinced. What if he returns?
We don't know how long he was at our place.
What if he comes back and assaults us?
You say that his belongings were found here.
Why don't you use sniffer dogs?
Madam, we can't deploy sniffer dogs for this.
Will you deploy the dogs only for elite people's cases?
Or else would you wait until we get assaulted again?
What do you want us to do?
Sniffer dogs won't be used for such cases.
We are not looking for a serial killer.
Mr. Chezhian.
Don't mistake me, son.
I thought sniffer dogs would speed up things for you.
Find him for the sake of our neighborhood.
Sure.
- Saravanan. - Sir.
Check out if you can find any personally trained dogs.
Okay, sir.
Sniffer dog is a good idea.
Told you.
Just like your dad said, sniffer dogs won't be used in such cases.
It's just a case of theft, not an act of terrorism.
What I mean is…
we all belong to the same neighborhood and live close by.
Your dad touched my dad's ego.
At least as a response to that…
my dad will bring sniffer dogs.
My grumpy grandma unnecessarily added fuel to the fire.
What's our next plan of action?
It's not a serious concern, I reckon.
Not now.
We left evidence at Parasparam's place to lure the police.
Once the cops find it, it will loom into a huge issue.
So, using the fact that the dead guy has no connection with our place…
we must distract the police.
That's why we had the idea of using the phone.
But it is broken into pieces.
We are running out of time.
Before the sniffer dogs trace back to our place,
and before the cops find out about the thief and come to our backyard,
we have to move the corpse.
Where was that?
Green Gates? Okay.
- Chezhian. - Sir.
Handle this case.
What case is it?
A murder case.
We have inched closer, Bhai.
I'll track it down soon and bring it to you.
- Give me two weeks, you-- - Shut up! Get the job done!
I see the stock count in your warehouse has reduced.
- Not a chance! - Not a chance?
You're not checking it properly.
I learned that you have accessed the footage archives.
As a branch manager, I have accessed it.
You think you can do anything as a branch manager?
I will be at your branch tomorrow.
I will assign an important task to you.
See you there.
Rico!
My work life is as important as this side of my life.
I can't just keep hanging around a gang of clowns.
I don't want your calls during my office hours.
Any information about the kid who called?
- About Blade? - Nope.
Paari told us the truth.
Blade hid in a house in Rettamugadu.
Before that, they assaulted a lady…
and parted their ways.
What happened at Paneer's place?
I finished off Paneer.
What?
- I killed Paneer. - Why?
He tried to yell and alert the neighborhood.
So, he killed him. and we moved the corpse here.
Not sure where Alex is.
I got irritated when he raised his voice.
Impulsively, I pulled the trigger.
You shot him?
- Where did you get the gun from? - Paneer's gun.
You shot him because he raised his voice…
Or…
is it because he slept with your girl?
- Leo… - The silencer didn't work.
Any other goof-ups?
The gun is missing as well.
I don't know why I hired you guys!
Look over there. The cops have arrived.
And that too in large numbers.
The press has arrived too.
I think the issue has escalated.
Hey, stop.
You guys, don't follow me. I will go alone.
Leave.
A murder took place at Green Gates, Baby Nagar.
The police and forensic experts are examining the crime scene.
The police are thoroughly investigating…
the details about the victim and the reason for the crime.
Along with cameraman Balu this is Priyadarshini signing off.
The window has been broken from the inside.
The victim has tried to alert the public by breaking the glass.
Shattered glass pieces have scattered everywhere.
But nothing near the bed.
So after the victim was shot with Beretta M92 Zoraki,
the floor was completely wiped clean of the glass pieces and blood.
When the corpse is here,
why would they need to mop the floor?
Two murders.
Maybe one of them was differently timed.
He may have been murdered after him,
or the other way around.
If this is not Paneer,
did you identify who is this guy?
Please give me that, madam?
Sir. His ID.
Vemburaj.
Alex Vemburaj.
I know this fellow.
He is a pickpocket. Check it.
Yes, sir. He is Alex.
The one who worked in a Petrol bunk.
Okay, team.
This is what would have happened.
This…
was not written by him.
He has not even signed in our criminals' registry.
He can't even write his name correctly.
Rico…
Maybe Paneer.
And Blade, who we were looking out for.
They all belong to the same gang.
But none of them would have written this.
They all know…
that Alex is illiterate.
Someone else was here.
Whatever happened to him…
and Paneer…
was witnessed by whoever was here.
And that person must have written it.
But…
why write with his blood?
What was his intention?
Why go to such an extent?
Because…
he wanted to keep his presence here hidden from the police.
Why did he do so?
He has nothing to do with this incident.
Hence he informed the cops.
But Rico and his men…
have enmity with him.
Sir, the Rettamugadu robbery case…
Maybe.
Sir.
What if one individual committed both murders…
and framed Rico?
No.
Paneer's body is missing.
True.
Rico…
must have been here.
If we prove Rico was elsewhere at the same time,
the one who wrote this would get caught.
So Rico was definitely here.
And he did do the killing.
Alex is killed and you want to relish meat?
Your name was written in bold letters!
The cops might be here anytime to nab you.
If the cops get you,
then I am next!
Do you think you all deserve to be well-fed for the crappy work you do?
Paari…
I was patient enough as I hoped that this wouldn't blow up.
If it hinders my growth… Bloody!
I'll kill all of you!
Kaalaan…
henceforth, you are in charge.
I wanted to call it quits…
but you wouldn't let me go.
Don't do it, Leo.
You can't do a thing!
Better let me go.
Die!
Sandy, they are here.
How long do we have to wait for you?
Gilly.
Shall we execute our plan?
If we successfully move the corpse to some other place…
that would be great.
The bell's ringing. That's good luck.
