- How can I help you? - One packet of milk, please.
Here you go.
SERIES OF MURDERS IN CHENNAI SERIAL KILLER ON THE PROWL?
[Title montage]
I had warned you. Now it is in the papers too.
They will definitely catch us.
Don't panic. He has no evidence to implicate us.
Nor are they capable of catching me.
Don't underestimate Viktor. He is not like the other officers.
No one can harm me. I should have killed him the other day.
I missed him.
He leaked the news to stir me up. I will show him who I am.
Hey, don't do it...
Listen to me, don't do it...
Sir, I had kept it a secret, I don't know how it leaked.
What is this, Viktor?
Do you have any idea about the pressure from my superiors?
To top it all, the assistant commissioner.
I am extremely sorry, sir.
What's the status of the case?
Sir, I have a small lead, I think we will get him soon.
Okay, make sure that this doesn't repeat.
- Yes, sir. Thank you. - Okay.
Damn it!
We had kept this a secret, I don't know how it leaked out.
If I get my hands on the guy who leaked the news
I will string him upside down and stuff a baton down his nose.
I am the one who leaked the news.
Sir!
We are desperately searching for him.
On the other hand, he is on a killing frenzy.
Who is his next victim? Where is it going to happen?
How is he selecting his victims? Why is he doing it?
We don't know anything.
How can we trace him with only a shadow in the dark
and the fact that he is handicapped?
Yes, that's true.
The population of Tamil Nadu is 7 crores.
In Chennai alone, there are at least 1 crore people.
Even if we estimate a three percent handicapped population...
...that would bring it to 3 lakh people.
How can we possibly trace him? That's why I leaked the news.
I don't know if he is going to be happy or angry with the news.
But, he will surely make a mistake, and that's going to be our lead.
[phone ringing]
Hello? Where is it? I am coming.
You people are so troublesome. Can't you stay calm?
- We can't. - Give me the pen.
- Don't give it. - Look how hot he is.
Instead of showing us the room, you're making us walk around.
Hey, let him take his time.
Only the one in need knows his pain.
[door closing]
Sir.
Sir, these girls were arrested while trying to cross
the Myanmar border illegally.
The pimp escaped.
Sir, you have searched the whole of Tamil Nadu.
I searched all over and beyond India.
I don't think your wife was kidnapped by human trafficking mafia.
Yes, I suggest you relook at the cases you have handled in the past.
You might get some leads there.
Don't talk too much! I did that on the MLA's order.
If you have something, take it to the MLA. Don't mess with me.
Yes, sir, It was I who sold the land.
What do you want me to do now?
This is just a civil case, isn't it?
Take it to the court, if required. We'll deal with it.
Stop trying to intimidate us.
Hey, don't lay your hands on me!
What's the big deal? I am the killer.
How dare you come to my area...
Sir, didn't you get someone else to pick a fight with?
Why are you troubling me unnecessarily?
Sir, am I your prime victim?
You're troubling me since you couldn't catch the real convict...
[phone ringing]
Hello.
Hello. Who is this?
Who is it, sir?
Okay, sir.
Hello.
The inspector has received a call. Trace that number immediately.
- Make it quick. - Okay, sir.
Answer me. Who are you?
- It's from this area, isn't it? - Anna Nagar.
Hey, are you deaf?
[Anonymous caller]Control the senses five, thus say those who know not...
None, not even the Immortals have the five senses under control...
When you've the five senses under control...
...you are verily an inert mass...
[laughing over phone]
The number you've dialled is not reachable.
[phone beeping]
24th street, Shanthi Colony.
- Okay. - Kishore.
- Sir. - Did you trace the call?
Yes, sir. His name is Arivanandham. He lives on 24th Street, Anna Nagar.
Good, let's go.
I will give you a kiss, then you must give me one.
Now that I have given you one, it is your turn now.
I won't disconnect till you give me one. Give it.
What is this?
- [Girl 1]Hello. - What is your name? - Gopi, sir.
- Check him. - 'Can you hear me? What happened?'
Yes, sir, His name is Gopi.
Is there someone called Arivanandham here?
Straight down and first left, F1.
- Selvam, stay here. - Okay, sir.
- Sir, my phone... - Relax.
- You stay here. - Okay, sir.
Sir, the door is open.
[Kishore]Sir...
Sir.
- Kishore. - Sir.
- Call the forensic department. - Okay, sir.
Older model phones can be unlocked
with the victim's fingers even after his death.
[video playing on mobile phone]
Where teaching hath not opened the learners' ear...
...the man may listen, but he scarce can hear.
[Policeman 1]The deputy commissioner is here.
[Policeman 2]Sir...
- Sir. - Come.
[off-screen voices]
How did the killer get your number?
I don't know, sir.
The victim's name is Arivanandham.
- The call was made from his mobile phone. - Sir.
Did anyone see the killer?
No, sir.
- Did you check the CCTV footage? - Yes, sir.
Kishore is checking the footage, sir.
This way, sir.
Sir, I think the killer is scared of us now.
How can you say that?
Sir, there was a certain pattern in all of his previous murders.
I mean, neat, calm and well planned.
I sense an urgency in this crime, his fear of getting caught.
I think we shook him, sir.
That way, sir.
Oh, my God!
His name is Arivanandham, chief editor of 'Idimuzhakkam' magazine.
[Viktor]From our investigation, we got to know that...
'...there were two cases of blackmailing on him.'
'But, we're yet to find whether our guy...'
'...is somehow related to those cases.'
Very cruel.
Let's go.
Sir, we are close on his heels.
Give me some more time and I will nab him.
We don't have much time, Viktor.
This issue has escalated beyond the commissioner to the IG.
He has asked the case be handed over to the CBCID.
- Please, sir. - I am sorry, Viktor.
I am helpless.
Please hand over all the details about the case at my office tomorrow.
Sir...
Sir, there are no clues in the CCTV footage.
I am clueless on how he got in or out. Sorry, sir.
[kicking an object on the floor]
Sir, there has been three murders till now.
Do you have any information about the killer?
We have some useful leads, we will get him soon.
Sir, all the victims were killed brutally.
'What do you think is the killer's motive?'
Our enquiries have revealed that the killer is a psychopath.
These people have no motives.
Well, in a similar case 7 to 8 years ago
a killer smashed the heads of pavement dwellers with a rock.
On being questioned, he replied that he committed the acts...
...just because he felt like it.
Such people appear quite normal.
But, if they're triggered, they become mad.
Sir, are you saying that such murders will continue?
Listen, my officers are working 24X7 to get him.
Please don't disgrace their efficiency.
Is it true that there is a connection between this case
and Keerthana's two month old murder case?
We have not got a clear picture on that.
Is it true that Keerthana's case was not investigated properly?
- We.. - Sir.
That is all for the day. Thank you.
- Sir... - Sir...
What? Are you upset that the case has gone out of your hands?
Just imagine how bad I would've felt because of you.
This is just the beginning.
You have a lot more to suffer. Be ready.
[vehicle approaching]
Sir, shall I drop you home?
Sir...
Sir, we are home.
Your daughter is asleep.
I have made dinner. Please have it.
Okay, ma'am.
He himself is a murderer.
He has killed his wife and is staging a man-missing drama.
I think an SP or an AC should be appointed as the team leader...
...to investigate the case further.
He is still struggling to find the whereabouts of his missing wife.
Please handle this case for my sake.
I will speak to the commissioner personally
to sort out your wife's case.
If you want to remove the black mark against you in the department...
...you have to nab the killer before he strikes again.
This is just the beginning. You have a lot more to suffer.
- Sir. - Sir.
