Who was the victim, sir?
Have you found the killer, sir?
Muthu?
Muthuraman?
Yes, sir?
At what time?
Must be around an hour, sir.
The girl who was abducted last night?
Yes, sir.
Are you sure?
Yes. The killer's signature is right there.
Sir?
I'm at the scene, sir.
Yes, sir. The head is missing.
They're on the way, sir.
Sir...
Please back away, ma'am! Back away!
I'll just check if there's a birthmark on her leg, sir.
Sumathi?
Sumathi!
It's not our Rupa, is it?
Oh my Goodness!
"Hello listeners! This is your friend Dagini speaking!"
"Our guest on today's show..."
"...is a very important woman in Tamil Nadu."
"A psychiatrist in the Coimbatore district."
"We'll be talking to Dr. Susheela Madhavan, today!"
- Greetings, ma'am! - Greetings!
There have been thirteen murders, ma'am.
Women are abducted!
The next morning...
...their bodies are displayed in some secluded area!
But without their heads!
It's so odd, ma'am!
- What do you... - Trophy!
"Trophy?" - Yes.
The serial killer is on a hunt!
As soon as the hunt is over, he seems to need something from the body.
It could be the victim's footwear, handbag, jewelry, clothes, undergarments...
...or a body part.
That's his medal. His award.
For this serial killer, it's a woman's head.
What would he do with it?
It's a fantasy play!
He could either talk, laugh, make fun or get angry with the head.
His anger towards the victim has not come to an end.
None of the thirteen abucted women have been sexually assaulted. Why?
He doesn't like sex!
Or, he probably can't have sex!
So what's the difference between a psychopath and a serial killer?
They're both the same!
No human has any right to kill another over some random reason!
And if one does kill, it means their humanity is lost...
...and has been replaced by ferality.
That feral creature is called a 'psychopath'.
Then what about killings done in the name of caste, religion or honor?
All of them are psychopathologically affected.
If the man next door keeps beating his wife for three years, he's a psychopath.
Parents who kill their own daughters for marrying outside of their caste...
...are also psychopaths!
A person who kills a person from another faith...
...in the name of religion, is also deemed a psychopath!
That was a revelation!
Thank you so much.
"Here's something for you! 'Catch the Killer'!"
"You can check out this Twitter page and share your opinions."
"If you meet suspicious people, you can inform the police through it!"
Hello, ma'am!
She's my daughter. Sit!
"The 'diamond sutra' may look like a book."
"But it is really the body of Buddha!"
"It is also your body. My body. All possible bodies!"
"But it is the body with nothing inside and nothing outside!"
How did he know that you'd come to the library?
He knows my entire routine, dad!
Just tell him to stop bothering you!
I've told him three times already! No use!
Did we screw up, my boy?
- Gucci Blue! - What?
Her perfume, brother!
Damn it! Couldn't you have played front foot?
You go next! Come, Shakthi!
Give me that bat, Santosh!
- Was the vehicle here? Turned off? - Yes, sir.
- Who told you that the vehicle was here? - My maid told me.
When did she see it?
As she was going home after finishing up work.
What time did she see it?
About 3:15 or 3:30, sir.
- When did your daughter leave the house? - At 3:00 PM, sharp.
Did you call her when you saw the vehicle here?
Her phone was turned off.
- Thangapalam? - Sir?
- Any other vehicles here, then? - Questioned everyone in the area.
Nobody seems to know anything, sir.
What? The killer abducted the girl in broad daylight!
Wasn't anyone on the road?
Were they all laying eggs at home?
- They were all watching 'Bigg Boss' at home! - Jeez!
(Muthu sings an old Tamil song)
Please find my child's killer!
I need to ask him, sir!
I must ask him why he killed my daughter!
- Come along. - Why is he singing about like this, sir?
I'll tell you. Come.
- Where are the cactus plants? - That side.
- First time we've come to this farm, right? - Nice, isn't it?
Look at that collection!
This is the best nursery in town, my boy!
The plant in front of you, is called Confuscia daginia!
If you pluck a flower from it, all your wishes will come true!
- Where, brother? - Step forward!
Catch!
Excuse me.
Excuse me, madam.
My friend is blind! Please let him stand here.
Of course he can! Please come!
Come! We've got permission!
- Thank You. - Forward!
Thank You!
Must you keep coming behind her like this?
He'll be up ahead pretty soon, sir!
- My boy! - Brother?
Music conductor Zubin Mehta sent a missed call. Want to talk to him?
O dear God!
Brother! Dagini's fine, right?
You wretch!
- I made the reservation! Please check again! - Please try to understand.
We received no confirmation from you.
- How can you say there's no reservation? - No, sir. No room available.
Oh come on!
What's wrong?
All the rooms under the tariff has been booked, sir.
Give them an executive suite under the tariff they booked on.
Sure, sir.
Nice arrangements, right?
Hey Dagini! Come!
Who's the guy conducting the orchestra?
Oh, him? My elder brother's friend.
He studied with Deepak at college? - Yes!
I doubt it.
Give me your cell phone.
- What for? - Just give it!
Give me my phone, mom!
Get out of here, you fraud!
I'm talking to you!
- Can't you hear? You keep standing here! - Dagini!
- Get off the stage! - Hold on...
What are you doing, Dagini?
- He's a cheater, dad! - What are you doing?
- He's my brother's friend! - That's a lie!
He lied to you!
Why are you still standing here? Get out!
- Get the hell out of here! - Come here!
Come here, I say! - Let go of me, dad!
Just get out!
What the hell are you doing?
Why did you do such a thing? Come!
Sit down.
Shall we go, brother?
Go where? We can't go anywhere!
Lied your way in here, right? Now go up on stage and tell the truth!
- Where, brother? - Come along!
Here! Sit down!
Here! Go ahead and sing!
Sing about your love!
"In your thoughts, melt away like a candle!"
"Casting aside my heart, she flies away like a wisp!"
"In your thoughts, I melt away like a candle!"
"Casting aside my heart, she flies away like a wisp!"
"Who could she be? The breeze that caresses me?"
"Who could she be? The mother's voice that lulls me?"
"In your thoughts, I melt away like a candle!"
"Casting aside my heart, she flies away like a wisp!"
"Fragrance and faint sounds are my only kin!"
"The longest night on earth is my every day!"
"Because of you, I found myself!"
"I closed my eyes and fell in love!"
"Even though I cannot see, you are the path I seek!"
"To you, words of love are all I have to say!"
"In your thoughts, I melt away like a candle!"
"Casting aside my heart, she flies away like a wisp!"
"Is he someone who knows not the richness of colours?"
"Is he someone who knows not how to open his heart?"
"You are the holy scriptures that echo in my ears."
"You are the light bestowed by the almighty!"
"You are the love, that I hold in my hand."
"Without you, I would drown away in tears!"
"In your thoughts, I melt away like a candle!"
"Casting aside my heart, she flies away like a wisp!"
"Who could she be? The breeze that caresses me?"
"Who could she be? The mother's voice that lulls me?"
"In your thoughts, I melt away like a candle!"
"Casting aside my heart, she flies away like a wisp!"
She grabs your shirt and pushes you down before everyone!
- Some girl, she is! - Don't talk ill of Dagini, brother.
What 'don't talk ill of her'? You'll never learn!
You love her deeply! She doesn't understand it at all!
How can she understand it through all this?
Like every other guy, I go behind her.
The day she realizes I'd give up my life for her, she'll accept my love.
- Brother... - What, my boy?
- Shall we wait a while? - What for?
Dagini will come, brother!
I'm sorry.
Gautham?
I'm really sorry.
It's alright, Dagini.
I didn't know you would fall down.
Been a long time since I fell, Dagini.
Please understand, Gautham.
I can't take pity and love you just because you're blind.
I'm not asking you to love me.
I only said that I love you.
Sounds so childish!
One can only love if they feel like a child, Dagini.
I know I can't convince you.
You really liked my song, didn't you?
It was just an average song.
You're lying.
I saw your face.
What?
On hearing a few music chords, even an angry face turns peaceful.
I can't reason with you.
Alright... how do you know where I'm going and follow me around like this?
I paid 500 rupees to your office boy.
2,000 rupees to your housemaid.
Is that so?
I'm going somewhere tomorrow. Even my father doesn't know about it.
I'll see how you follow me there.
I'll come wherever you go.
Alright.
Let's see how you find me tomorrow.
I'll definitely come! Give me a clue!
No matter what clue I give, you won't figure it out. Bye!
What if I figure it out and find you? - You won't!
Your birthday's on Sunday.
If I were to figure this one out, will you invite me to your birthday?
Alright. If you pull this off, you're my Chief Guest.
Thank You. You didn't give me the clue!
Listen to my show, tomorrow morning! The clue will be in there!
- By the way, your song was really nice! - Thanks, Dagini!
Go right!
Go left! Move to the right! Good grief!
Take a right, my boy! Go left!
Keep going! I'm scared as hell! Drive properly!
Take a right! Keep going!
Go left! Now, right! Stop the car!
'Good morning, dear friends!'
'This is your friend Dagini speaking!'
'I'll recite a few lines of Pablo Neruda. The world's greatest poet.'
"As an empty homestead, I await you!
"Until you arrive and reside in me."
"Here's some trivia for you!"
"India's first passenger train..."
"...travelled from Bombay's Bori Bunder station to Thane."
- Do a Google search on your phone, brother. - 'I'll see you all tomorrow! Same time!'
"Your's truly, Dagini."
Excuse me... who are you?
You know me.
What? I don't recall ever seeing you before.
You talk on your show, every day.
- Sit down. - Please...
Dagini?
- What time did you get here? - At exactly 7:00 PM, sir.
When you got here, what did you see... I mean, what did you realize?
Don't waste time, sir. He abducted Dagini!
He might kill her any time!
We must first confirm it was Dagini!
It was definitely Dagini, sir! She came here to see me!
Why did you come here to see her?
When I met her yesterday, she told me she'd give me a clue on her show.
If I were to crack it, she told me I could meet her here.
What clue is that?
She talked a lot about her mother on her last show.
She also spoke about India's railway line!
Then, she spoke about India's first passenger railway line.
I checked where the first train line was set up in Coimbatore.
Checked the cities along that route. Figured that was the clue.
Periyanaickenpalayam was part of it. So, I came here.
How did you know she'd come here...
Her mother was born here, sir.
I've twice followed Dagini here, when she came to visit her mother's grave.
What happened, sir? My daughter's car is here!
- Where is my daughter, sir? - We've just begun the investigation.
- Where is she? - Please be patient.
What happened, sir?
Where is my daughter, man?
She came all this way here, to meet you!
- What the hell did you do to her, you cur? - Sir, please...
I've lost my child!
Aren't you afraid?
I'm going to kill you.
I know.
Then why are you smiling?
Because I'm the last person that you will ever kill.
What?
After this, you won't be able to kill anyone else.
Will the cops stop me?
Gautham will stop you.
Who is he?
Remember the man who came by when you abducted me?
That blind guy?
He'll be the one who will stop you.
If you kill me now...
...seven days later, is my birthday.
By then, he will find you.
If you don't kill me, seven days from now, he'll take me away from here.
Are you scared?
Get the CDs from the dashboard.
You can eat it.
Let him come looking for you.
Let him find me.
I'll sever your head and give it to him.
I'll sever his head and give it to you.
Until then, you remain here.
What's the connection between you and Dagini?
Do you know Dagini?
What were you doing at that train station?
Why did you go to that railway station?
Answer us, sir! Say something!
Why must he abduct Dagini?
She looks very beautiful, sir.
No, Akbar. The killer is not interested in the victim's looks.
He's not a serial rapist. He's a serial killer.
Did you notice this, sir?
All the women who were murdered were the best in their professions.
You're wrong, Thangapalam.
Then why must he abduct those three prostitutes? It doesn't track.
(Muthu sings an old Tamil song)
- Hold on! I'll tell you! - How do you respond?
What are you doing for public awareness and public safety?
- Can't you find one clue? - Stop it! What do you want me to say?
(Muthu hums an old Tamil song)
Take me there, brother.
Why, my boy?
Take me close, brother.
Dagini's father has confirmed that it isn't her, right?
Please be a little patient.
The Deputy Superintendent is here.
Sir?
- Did Dagini's father come? - It isn't Dagini, sir.
Any complaints yesterday about missing persons?
- There was one, this morning. - For whom?
A prostitute.
- From which station? - Mettupalayam.
What is he doing here?
- What are you staring at? Go! - Yes, sir!
Won't you pay attention, Muthuraman?
He may tamper the evidence! Get him!
Let go, sir. I'll handle this. Let him go!
- Who found the body? - Quarry workers, sir.
What the hell, sir?
- Hurry up, brother! - Where to?
I'll tell you!
Hey! Who are you?
- How's your father, dear boy? - Who are you?
Don't you recognize me? Where is Ms. Susheela?
On the last left.
Hold on, my boy! On your left!
Hey! Who are you?
- Dagini is still alive, ma'am! - What?
I'm having suicidal thoughts!
I won't go anywhere! I'm staying right here!
Can you take me home with you, doctor?
We'll stop this session now, Vaishnavi.
How can we be sure that this serial killer abducted Dagini?
It was definitely him, ma'am!
Because I was with him when he did it!
- What? - Ma'am...
I'm in love with Dagini.
She came to the railway station that night to see me!
Somehow, that serial killer figured it out, followed Dagini there and abducted her.
Then whose body was found displayed this morning?
It belongs to a sex worker, ma'am.
He has never changed his pattern so far!
Then, why now?
So far, he's abducted and killed thirteen women!
Then why didn't he kill Dagini...
That means she's still alive, right?
I wish.
Dagini must be alive.
- Gautham! - Ma'am?
- Where are you going? - To the CB-CID office!
Why?
- To tell them, so they can save her... - They couldn't find anything for 18 months!
Then who will find her?
You do it!
I can't see, ma'am!
The cops have been looking with their eyes. They found nothing!
You look with your mind and with your heart.
Dagini will definitely be found.
Sir!
Dagini is still alive! Please save her!
How did you get in here?
She's in danger every passing moment! Comb the entire Coimbatore district!
You dare give us ideas? Get out!
Get him out of here!
Think this is your house, huh?
Isn't this a house, too? Where we can speak of our troubles?
- Please, sir! - Get out!
Mr. Akbar!
Why did you let him in? Got no sense?
He was in a sorry state. That's why...
The DSP's really tensed, man! Got no sense? Take him away!
Someone please listen to me!
They're already knee deep with problems, my boy.
They can't find that killer!
They can't find him, but they can help me, right? I'll find him!
- What? You'll find him? - Yes, sir!
I'll find my Dagini! I'll find her...
Gautham, my boy!
My boy...
In no way, shape or form, can I help you with this case.
But there is a Sub-Inspector who dealt with this from the start.
Go meet her. She'll definitely help you.
- Who is she? - Kamala Das.
She's upstairs, dear boy.
Go see her.
Who is it?
My name is Gautham.
Hey, Vasantha! Who the hell is this?
Dear Kamala! A man's come to meet you about a case.
You moron! What bloody case?
Why let strangers in here?
No, my dear... I felt bad upon seeing him...
Throw him out of here!
You idiot! How dare you come into my room?
I need your help.
Shut the door and leave!
The light's hitting me!
Shut the damn door, Vasantha!
I've never seen light in my entire life.
Dagini was the only light I had.
I need to save her.
So I came to seek your help.
Vasantha!
Get over here, woman!
Drag this blind schmuck out of here!
I am indeed blind. One with no light.
Despite having light, you remain blind.
You putz!
What's with the speechifying?
You can walk. You can run.
You can eat.
I can't even stand, man!
Don't know when I must poop or piss, either.
Some speech, you came to give!
Get out of here!
I know you're quadriplegic, ma'am.
No one around here wants to help me.
But if you put your heart to it, you can save a woman's life. Please!
I'm dying here, myself!
What do I care if another woman lives or dies?
Come along, my boy. She's crazy!
Come along!
She stays in and has gone mad...
Who's mad?
You're mad! This crazy guy's mad!
For some crazy woman, this mad man seeks my help!
You refuse to help another woman. Some woman, you are!
Hey! You rogue!
Damned pig!
He slapped me, Vasantha!
Yes, I noticed.
- He slapped me, Vasantha! - After what you said, how could he not?
Kayal!
Who did this to you?
Kayal...
Both Kayal and I left together for work.
I landed a customer, so I left.
What time did you leave for work?
Be around 10:45, sir.
Were you both on the same street?
No, sir. Normally, we keep distance between us.
Because a customer would take only one of us.
As the other one would feel bad...
That's why.
Alright. When you left, did you let her know?
No. But when I was riding in the truck, I called Kayal and spoke to her.
Give me your phone.
11:05.
What did you talk about?
I told her that I had left.
She told me that she had left, too.
Did she say anything else?
I told her about my customer. She told me about hers.
What did she say?
I told her my guy looked like a hairy baboon.
She told me her guy was as soft and dashing as a movie star.
Officers!
- Officers! - Sir!
Listen to me.
We have finally got some clues on the serial killer case.
Number one: The killer's a clean shaven man.
Number two: He's a well-dressed handsome man.
Number three: He owns an expensive car.
Either black or blue or brown.
I feel that the car is one among those three colors.
If you ever see a car like that, double check it thoroughly!
If we miss this opportunity, we'll never solve this case. Thank You.
You haven't eaten anything all day. At least have some juice.
No need, brother. Dagini wouldn't have eaten all day, right?
How can we change our fate?
There is no such thing as fate, brother. Everything is an accident.
I'll definitely save her, brother.
How can you do it all by yourself?
Welcome! Come on in!
Gautham! Do you know who has come to see you?
Thanks, ma'am. Thank you very much.
Dear boy... There's one thing.
Kamala...
You're still a child at heart.
I like you a lot!
Where are your parents?
Canada.
Do you like Buddha?
I like him a lot!
So you have no desires, huh?
I do. I wish to save Dagini, even if it means I have to die.
I like you, too.
Anyway, we don't have time.
Been a year and a half since my accident.
I've forgotten the details about this case.
I want three things.
Chewing gum.
A map of the Coimbatore district.
And the latest CB-CID files about this case.
CB-CID files? Who'll give us that?
No one will. We need to take them ourselves.
How?
By stealing them.
Neither can we understand psychopaths, nor can he can understand himself.
He may have kept her alive, or could've killed her.
If that blind guy believes she's alive, let's believe it, too.
Sir! The poor guy's lover is missing, sir!
- Got drunk and making trouble? Go! - Save her!
I beg of you, sir! - Get away!
- Please save her! - Shut up and leave!
- I'll throw you in jail! - I'm sorry!
- Come early tomorrow. - Will do.
- Drive! - Start driving, sir!
- Buzz off! - Sir!
You're leaving, too? Save her, sir!
Sir...
- Get lost! - Poor Dagini! Save her, sir!
Get started, Gautham!
Head straight, Gautham.
Go straight.
Straight.
Stop!
Now turn left.
Yes. Now go straight.
Keep going straight.
The gate is locked.
What will you do?
Go inside.
There's a chair on your left. Careful!
Turn right.
Show me.
Alright. Go left.
Take a right.
Stop.
Take a right.
Keep going straight.
Stop. Now take a left.
Stop. Raise the camera.
"Achievers in service."
Stop.
- What is it, dear? - Nothing.
Alright. Turn left.
- Sir... - It's alright. Sleep.
- Sir? - I forgot my house key. You sleep.
Come out from there, my boy.
We're cops, dear boy.
When a girl goes missing, it's just another case to us.
But it's not the same to you.
These are just papers.
What did we do with it for a year and a half?
Take these along!
At least you save that girl.
First victim: Manjula Ramesh. Advocate.
She was abducted on November 2, 2015.
Second victim: Leela. She was a prostitute.
She was abducted on December 8, 2015.
Third victim: Jane Parisutham. College girl.
When investigating this case...
...my girl fell down the stairs...
You witch!
Why go into flashback mode?
Just that if you hadn't gone there...
Shut the hell up.
So far, fourteen people have been abducted.
Of which ten people had been successful in their professions.
Four of them were prostitutes.
I investigated the first six cases.
No clues. They're all black holes.
But in the last six cases...
Sylvia Plath. Ezhilarasi. Rupavahini.
There are similarities in these three cases.
All three of their vehicles were found alone on the street.
The three of them were abducted during the day.
And no one saw them get abducted during the day?
Surprising!
The police file says no one saw it.
I won't believe it.
Can I help you?
I need to ask you a few questions about your daughter Ezhilarasi's case.
- Who are you people? - The cops sent us.
If you show us where your daughter was abducted, we can...
- Who was it? - Some idiots.
Excuse me! Why are you disturbing me?
Been several days since my daughter died.
We have resigned to our fates, here.
Even the cops could do nothing about it. What can you do?
Mr. Bhaskar! Do you know who he is?
His name is Thiruvangur Asanakundi.
A psychic.
He can talk to ghosts.
Your daughter showed up on his ouija board.
She was upset over her killer not being caught.
That's why we came here.
Can you show us where your daughter went missing?
My daughter's vehicle was found here.
Brother...
- The vehicle was found here? - Yes, sir.
- Here? - Indeed.
- It's on the wrong side of the road. - That's what is surprising.
After leaving home, why did she come back and park it here?
That's what I don't get.
Brother...
Any guesses, Kamala?
She saw someone.
Or she saw something.
That's why she parked on the wrong side.
Where could she have seen it?
In front of the vehicle.
- Careful... - I'm sorry, sir.
My sister's car was found here.
This car is parked on the correct side.
- Any guesses? - Next!
This was where my daughter's vehicle was found.
25 feet towards your right. The same dumpster.
At what time did your daughter go missing?
Around 3:00 or 3:30 PM, sir.
- Brother? - Yes?
- I need some chocolates. - "Chocolates"?
Oh, it's a yorker ball!
You know about yorkers, Uncle?
Indeed, I do!
My favorite bowler is Wasim Akram.
My favorite bowler is Bumrah.
Alright! Come get your chocolates, everyone!
- Chocolates! - One person at a time! Here you go!
What was the score chased by the Chennai Super Kings...
- ...in last year's IPL final? - 148 for 7.
- Man of the Match? - Bumrah!
- Who got the Orange Cap? - David Warner.
Alright, now who's the most intelligent on your street?
I mean, who wins many prizes in quiz contests?
Ms. Rupavahini!
He's a substitute, Uncle!
Do you know her?
Yes, Uncle!
But someone killed her.
- You were all playing on the road that day? - Yes.
Ms. Rupa's parents even came running over!
Who was on the boundary line that day?
Murali, the substitute!
- You saw Ms. Rupa go in a vehicle that day? - Yes, Uncle.
- I waved goodbye to her. - What next?
- She sped forward, then hit the brakes. - Then what?
I went to retrieve the ball.
- Did you come back and see? - Yes, Uncle!
What did you see?
Ms. Rupa was walking away, carrying a puppy dog.
Where was she going?
I didn't see where.
You told anyone about Ms. Rupa and the puppy?
No one asked me!
The killer keeps a puppy near the dumpster.
The women come riding over. The puppy runs to them.
Curious about the puppy being on the road, they go lift it up.
The killer's standing afar.
He claims it's his puppy.
The women go to return the puppy. That's when he abducts them.
This is how it happened, right?
So the dog must have been pretty cute and beautiful.
Why? What if it was hurt and limping?
Let me talk, Kamala!
You see, Gautham...
We don't know with what kind of dog the killer lures his victims.
Even if we find out, there are more than fifty kennels in Coimbatore.
There are a hundred pet shops and forty veterinarian doctors, too.
It's a long shot.
All our efforts have been wasted.
No, Kamala. It hasn't been wasted.
The killer uses dogs to abduct women.
If we tell the cops about it, they'll create awareness among the public.
When the killer tries this again, women will be on their guard.
- He won't be able to abduct anyone. - Good thing!
Shut your trap!
If the killer learns that the cops know he's using dogs to abduct women...
...he'll get really angry.
What if he gets so angry and ends up killing Dagini?
Call Vinod.
Calling Vinod's mobile.
Can you do me a favor, Vinod?
Note down what I'm about to tell you.
Hey! What are you doing?
What are you doing alone on the road?
Come here!
Ma'am!
That's my dog. Can you please bring it over?
Sorry, sister.
Shadow got out of his leash and ran off.
- Can you hook him back into it? - No problem.
Sorry, sir. Read in the 'Catch the Killer' hashtag on Twitter...
...to be careful around those with dogs.
Of course, I don't claim you to be a killer.
But, I have to be careful.
I'm sorry, sir.
Who is it?
I need to hack into a Twitter account.
Who gave you this address?
I won't tell you.
Bro!
I found the IP address, bro!
191.202.4.1.
The e-mail ID?
The e-mail ID...
Come on, baby!
"madrasquartet@gmail.com".
What you said was true.
Gautham's coming for you.
Brother?
What is it, my boy?
What is it, Gautham?
Heard a noise coming from outside.
I didn't hear anything.
Who is it?
No one there, my boy.
- Brother... - Don't go further! Get back in the house!
- Who is it, brother? - Listen to me! Get back in here!
Come back in!
Get back in the house, Gautham!
Are you and Dagini in love?
Answer us, sir!
What happened to Dagini?
Do you believe Dagini is alive, sir?
Dagini is still alive.
What the hell did you question the victims' neighbors about?
He questioned kids and figured out the killer uses dogs to abduct women.
What in blazes are we doing?
Don't we have sense?
Yes, sir.
Normal humans have lesser sense than psychopaths.
How did Gautham figure this out?
He's not searching with his eyes, sir.
Tell that to the Commissioner!
No matter whom we tell, this is the truth!
Alright, Muthu. Let's not argue.
What is the development?
A hacker was killed at Peelamedu, sir.
The forensic department matched shoe prints found there with those of the killer.
Good. What's the next step?
The killer somehow learnt Gautham tweeted with his friend's help...
...in our 'Catch the Killer' hashtag.
That's why he left Angayarkanni's body at Gautham's house, as a warning.
If we found out how or through whom the killer found that hacker...
...we can find the killer.
Sorry, Kamala.
I tweeted about it, against your advice.
You did the right thing.
Two people are dead.
A poor hacker died because of me, too!
Sometimes, bad things happen when you do the right thing.
All God's play!
Did God shove me down those stairs?
Don't like it when I talk about God, yes?
Got no better time to talk about it?
With that big damn dot on your head at night!
What's it to you if I have it on?
My father's dead, right?
- Can I not wear it if my husband's dead? - Please do this later.
I want a map of the city of Coimbatore tomorrow, brother.
And I want two pigs.
- What? - A black pig and a white pig.
And the white pig, brother?
Over there. Come along.
Watch your step.
Yes, it's right here.
Are you sure, Gautham?
I am sure, Kamala.
When I smelt Kayal's body in the quarry...
...and when I smelt Angayarkanni's body at my house yesterday...
...they both had the same smell.
I am damn sure about it.
So the killer has a pig farm.
And Dagini's being held there.
Only a guy with a farm would have large vehicles.
Coimbatore is filled with cops.
How can he get away so easily with a woman in the car?
- A customized vehicle. - What does that mean?
The killer designed the vehicle with the purpose of hiding a body.
Vasantha! I need to know how many pig farms are there in the Coimbatore district.
Among fifty four pig farms...
...how do we find which one belongs to the killer?
- We'll check every one of them. - No time for that.
Aunty! Why does this spot alone have four pins?
That was where the prostitutes were abducted.
What area is this?
Mettupalayam.
No prostitutes anywhere else in Coimbatore?
Why does he only abduct those in Mettupalayam?
The night he abducted Dagini...
...why did he also abduct a hooker named Kayalvizhi?
He couldn't kill Dagini.
So he abducted and killed Kayalvizhi.
So Kayalvizhi was a surrogate for Dagini. Am I right?
- I don't get it... - Shut up!
So...
All prostitutes were surrogates.
I don't get it either, dear.
The killer tracks a woman.
For some reason, he isn't able to abduct her.
The killer gets angry.
He can't stop his urge to kill.
On his way back, he sees a prostitute.
She easily comes to him. He abducts her.
Why does he abduct everyone in Mettupalayam?
Because it's easy for him to abduct them in Mettupalayam!
Or his house must be in Mettupalayam!
That means he's holding Dagini in a pig farm in Mettupalayam.
I had a large pig farm in Periyakulam.
- Okay... - I had over 200 pigs!
- Alright... - All succumbed to cholera!
So, I came to buy four males and four females.
Alright. Would you like some buttermilk?
Here?
Do you raise dogs here, too?
No dogs over here. I only raise pigs.
- Who is she? - My wife.
The owner of the place.
I'll give you a good price! Come back!
Come back, sir!
'Priya pig farm'
' Shanthi Pig Farm'
- Who is it? - Is the owner around, sir?
- What is it, good fellow? - Are you the owner?
I'm hard of hearing!
- I came to buy some pigs! - Come along! I'll show you!
Is the owner not here?
Tell me how many animals you need. I'll show you!
Three? Come along! I'll show you!
Sir?
Who is that?
He's the owner of this place!
- The owner? - Yes!
Sir! I'll give you a good bargain! Come back!
Yes, sir?
I'm near Vellerikuppam, sir.
I've been following Gautham's car.
He came to the Shanthi Pig Farm.
What is he doing there?
Alright, follow him until the evening.
Once Akbar's on duty, I'll relieve you.
- Ms. Kodhai? - Sir?
- Where is the driver? - He went to the B- 1 station!
- Akbar! - Sir?
- Give me your motorbike key! - It has a starting problem!
Tell me what you need and I'll get it.
Just give me the key, Akbar!
Be careful, sir!
Sir?
Oh, man!
How hot it is!
Where's the owner?
Who, good fellow? I'm hard of hearing!
I asked where the owner was!
What's the matter? He's in the back!
Alright, I'll go see him!
- I'll take you to him! - It's alright. You lie down!
You lie down!
My Goodness!
- Sir? - Can I help you?
- Are you the owner? - Yes.
- Anyone came to your farm this morning? - Who are you?
I run a business. A friend told me he was coming here to buy some pigs.
I came to see if he had come or not.
Let's talk in my office.
Sir
Who are you, sir?
I'm a police officer.
Escape from here somehow, sir!
Very difficult, dear. I'm tightly restrained!
How are you, dear girl?
I...
Don't worry, my dear. Gautham will come and save you.
Appears I got caught here to give you hope.
How peculiar is life!
Death is always near. And we get so worked up over it!
All the years I searched for this guy...
Even my wife ran away from me.
Escape somehow before he comes back, sir!
Please, sir!
No, my dear.
I'm really tired!
Sir...
I have a request.
What is it?
For one last time, can I sing an A.M. Rajah song to myself?
"In solitude..."
"In solitude, can one find comfort?"
"Can one see the sun in the dead of the night?"
"In solitude, can one find comfort?"
"If one has no company..."
Vasantha? - Yes?
Did you thoroughly check every farm you visited?
Yes, dear. I did.
How about you, brother?
No one suspicious in the farms I visited.
Something is wrong.
We missed something.
The killer is in one of the farms we visited.
I have this nagging feeling.
Here. Drink this. We'll talk in the morning.
I don't want it!
Our Inspector, sir!
I'm sorry, Thangapalam.
I'm really scared!
Remain in the house for the next two to three days.
Don't go out anywhere!
In two days, he's going to kill Dagini.
Why do you always sound pessimistic?
How else am I supposed to sound?
To catch a killer, one must be ready to die!
Gautham
Go back to Kamala's house, brother.
- Hold on, Gautham... - Get back there, brother.
Why must I go there? I'm staying right here with you.
I want to be alone!
How can I leave you alone?
Please listen to me, brother!
Have I ever not listened to you?
Didn't the cops say it isn't safe to stay here?
That wretched man left a corpse at our doorstep!
You stay here, your life will be in danger!
Every day, Dagini's dying over there, brother!
But your life is important to me, Gautham!
- Just leave me alone! - Listen to me!
How many times have you said that I was your light?
Wherever can I go?
Just go die somewhere!
Hello?
Excuse me
Who are you?
Got a smoke?
No... I have...
Do you have a bloody smoke?
Do you have a smoke or not?
Sir! Sir!
- Sir! Is anyone there? - Who is it?
Brother!
- Who's out there? - Brother!
- Who's there? - Brother!
What are you doing here?
I need a measuring tape, brother!
Hey, Gautham!
Following the killer, I came to a plantain field...
Dearest Gautham...
Gautham...
The license plate of the killer...
Gautham...
Tomorrow at midnight, I will kill Dagini.
Gautham gave it.
Excuse me... Is he someone you know?
Yes, sir.
Sudha! Bring over the belongings of this deceased person.
- Doctor - Yes?
Do you know how he died?
He was stabbed hard in the hip.
His throat was slit, too.
The little finger on his right hand has been severed.
- Why the little finger? - I don't know.
For some reason, he has done so.
Here are his belongings, sir.
Please sign here.
Can you drop me at home, Aunty?
At home?
Enough deaths in this case because of me! I want nothing more!
Can you please drop me at home?
Shut the hell up, Gautham!
No, Kamala. It's the truth!
How can I find a killer? I'm blind!
I'm handicapped!
Screw you, Gautham!
Screw you!
Why did you drag me out here?
Why the hell did you come to my house?
You slapped me and sermonized like some big shot!
Did you just realize now that you're handicapped?
Yes, Kamala! I just realized it!
I'm handicapped! I'm blind!
What the hell are you staring at, Vasantha?
Start driving! Let's get the hell out of here!
Let's leave him on the street!
Shut your mouth!
My mouth's the only thing that still works! Want me to shut that, too?
Hey!
If you're blind, I'm a damn rock, man!
A useless piece of crap!
Why did you call me?
I would've just remained in the darkness!
If I was physically able, I would've caught that guy!
If I hadn't fallen down those steps at the college...
...I would've caught that killer!
He had come to that college function...
I would've seen him on that disc!
Those goddamn stairs!
I'm sitting here like a bloody corpse!
- Aunty! We need to go to that college! - Why?
Kamala must watch that disc!
Do you want anything?
I want cigarettes.
'All day, you torment me!'
'It makes me short of breath!'
'I give you a double-edged sword as a gift!'
'Chop away at your manhood and dispose of it!'
'Thanks! Greetings!'
Forward
'Next, as the Chief Guest of this function...'
'...this college is proud to welcome respected police officer Kamala Das!'
Pause.
Forward.
'We'd like to invite her onto the stage.'
Stop!
Can you zoom in on him?
Who's that guy in the cap that's concealing his face?
Who is seated next to him?
Thanks for coming!
Who is he?
An acquaintance of mine.
Hey! Get out of here!
Go sit next to him.
Sir...
Do you remember the man who was seated on your left that day?
I don't remember his face.
But he'd be around 28- 30 years old.
He was clean shaven.
I don't remember anything else.
Did you converse with him?
I was eating popcorn and offered him some. He thanked me and accepted it.
- Ah, yes! He was left- handed. - How can you tell?
He took the popcorn with his left hand.
I remember that well!
Are you left handed?
Yes.
With which hand did he take the popcorn, sir?
With his left hand.
His right hand was closer to you.
Then why did he use the left hand?
No! If he was left handed, he would've definitely used his left hand.
- No. He had another reason... - No, Gautham...
Excuse me. His right hand was in his pocket the whole time.
- What? - Yes, sir.
All evening long, his right hand was in his pocket.
In fact, it remained in his pocket even as he got up and left.
Then he's not left handed!
Brother Rajanayakam!
What's wrong, my boy?
Aunty! Take me to your car!
Alright, come along!
This way!
Careful!
We are looking for a car and its owner.
The vehicle is a sedan.
And its height is...
Gautham?
1,480 millimeters.
So, it must be a Five- Series.
- How many such cars have... - 96, ma'am.
Your team has sold 96 such cars in the Coimbatore district.
One such buyer doesn't have the little finger on his right hand.
Anyone remember that?
Dear kids... A life is in danger.
Think hard about it and tell us.
If you give us a clue, the cops will give a cash prize of ten lakh rupees.
Excuse me!
That customer's name is Angulimali, ma'am.
What does he do?
He's the owner of MRK Enterprises and the Shanthi Pig Farm.
Shall we call the cops, Kamala?
- Aunty... - Can you be quiet?
For Gautham's Twitter warning, he killed and left the corpse on his doorstep.
If he knows Gautham told the cops...
...he'll hack Dagini to pieces and deliver it to Gautham!
Then how do we find Dagini?
I'll go, Kamala.
What? What will you go do there?
What if the killer does something to you?
I'll go.
If I'm not back in ten minutes, call the cops.
No, Aunty.
I was the one who came looking for Dagini.
I should be the one to go.
No, my boy. If your life is in danger...
- No. Dagini must be saved... - Vasantha.
Please listen to me. You can't...
Vasantha!
Who are you, dear girl? What do you want?
- Sir! Is the owner here or not? - What?
Is the owner here or not?
He just went by the back entrance!
How many pigs have you got here, sir?
That's a file.
A table is in front of you.
Secure the cell phone.
Those are papers!
No. Next!
What?
No! No! No!
Go to the right!
Everything here are White Yorkshire pigs!
Keep looking! Anything else there?
That's a file, too!
Couldn't find anything, Kamala.
Gautham. Go back!
Take that chair and go to the corner on the right.
- Climb up. - For what?
Climb up!
Check if there's anything up there!
Nothing like upper or lower caste here, ma'am!
They're all pigs!
They're all of good quality!
Thanks!
What is your name, ma'am?
Rachel!
- Where are you from? - Pondicherry!
How are you related to this killer?
His teacher!
Why are you here...
Punishment!
I punished him!
So, now he's punishing me!
What did he do wrong?
He jerked off!
They called me 'Rachel, The Strict' in the orphanage.
'Sister Rachel, The Strict!'
My only job was to ensure that the kids do no wrong.
That's it.
Masturbation is not a crime.
No!
It is wrong! It is a sin!
It is a goddamn sin!
Sixty lashings with a cane!
That hand committed the sin, right?
Sixty cane lashings every day, for 365 days!
Is it wrong to punish a hand that has sinned?
Is it wrong?
I'll see how you commit this sin here on in, you brat!
Hey!
I'll watch standing right behind you!
Discretely doing it in the dark, eh?
I won't even let you sleep!
I'll stay up all night and simply watch what you're doing!
One day, anger got to his head!
He came to give me a cut with a blade! Look at this!
Look at it! Do you see it?
Will I spare him? Will I just spare him?
I took him to the headmistress...
...and got him expelled from the school and threw him out of the orphanage!
I vanquished him!
For doing that...
For eight years...
...he has held me here!
But he never repents for his sins!
How will The Almighty ever forgive him?
How can He do so?
Just watch!
One day, a huge blow of thunder will strike!
These bars will explode into smithereens!
My Lord will give me freedom!
Once that happens, I will beat him! I will thrash him!
Sixty cane lashings! Cane lashings until he bloody dies!
I'm going to keep beating him!
Who is the man in that cell?
Him?
A police constable!
The constable who enrolled this guy in a reform school.
He brought him here and killed him, too!
Kamala! Shall we take the cops and go round up that factory?
Dagini will die.
Why do you always sound pessimistic?
The killer would've definitely set up alarms all around the factory.
It will go off when the police raid the place.
Knowing there's no way to escape, he'd first kill Dagini.
Then how do we save Dagini?
There's only one way to do it.
Let's walk into the lion's den.
What are you saying?
Can you risk your life?
I'll do anything for Dagini.
Gautham, will you take care?
Hey!
Are you trying to kill me, man?
Slowly!
Drive slowly!
Go straight! Straight ahead!
"Can I ever part from you?"
"Can I ever forget you?"
Keep left. There's a car on the right!
A car is coming on the right!
"Can I ever part from you?"
A car is coming! Keep left!
"Can I ever forget you?"
Keep driving straight.
"Will time ever change?"
"Will these wounds ever heal?"
Keep going straight.
"As a cloud that parts from the sky..."
"...is your life full of sorrow?"
"If love is lost, can it ever die?"
Go right. Not that much!
"As the breeze... as the day past..."
"You went away!"
"I will look for you till the day I die!"
"Only after I see you..."
"...will I close my eyes!"
"Can I ever part from you?"
"Can I ever forget you?"
Stop! Slow down, Gautham!
I could've just died at home instead of coming with you!
Hey! Eyes on the road!
"To find my love, with three feet, I walk!"
"I ask for the moon, despite nights two."
Straighten the steering wheel! Right!
Now go left!
"Are you the path I passed?"
"Are you the music I missed?"
"Are you a statue that God seeks?"
A car is coming!
"What may be the price to save you?"
"You're not with me today, I shatter!"
"To reclaim our tomorrow, I rise!"
"A meeting of two solitudes!"
"Can I ever part from you?"
"Can I ever forget you?"
"Will time ever change?"
"Will these wounds ever heal?"
"As a cloud that parts from the sky, is your life full of sorrow?"
"If love is lost, can it ever die?"
"As the breeze... as the day past... You went away!"
"I will look for you, till the day I die!"
"Only upon seeing you again, will I close my eyes!"
"Can I ever part from you?"
"Can I ever forget you?"
What is about to happen here?
A ritual!
Come out, you sinner!
Come out!
Get out here!
Come on out!
Sinner!
You evil sinner!
Sinner!
Hey! What did you do?
- What the hell did you do? - No, teacher!
Did you do something wrong? Did you?
No, teacher! I swear I didn't do anything wrong! God promise!
Then why do you have your hand in there? What is it doing?
Oh no! It hurts, teacher!
The zipper is stuck, teacher! The zipper is stuck!
You expect me to believe that?
Don't lie after doing wrong!
I swear upon Mother Mary that I didn't do anything wrong, teacher!
Teacher!
Don't hit me, teacher!
It hurts, teacher!
Don't look at me like that, teacher!
Everyone scolds me, teacher!
Everyone stones me, teacher!
I feel ashamed, teacher!
Turn off the light, teacher!
Just for one night, turn out the light, teacher! I'm sleepy!
Shut up!
Teacher
Don't look at me like that, teacher!
Don't punish me, teacher!
Don't look at me like that, teacher!
I'm getting angry, teacher!
It feels like my head is exploding, teacher!
Teacher...
Are you ready, Gautham?
Yes.
Are all your things secure?
Yes.
It is 11:45 right now,
You only have ten minutes.
Get down from the car...
...walk straight for 100 metres and go right.
That's your entrance. Alright?
It's been a year and a half since I have prayed.
I'll pray for you now.
Thanks, Kamala.
- No, ma'am! He finished work and left! - I need to see the engineer!
- Listen to me! - Move!
Why is that policeman here?
While taking me to the reform school, he raped me.
I didn't see his face, back then.
Now, I see him every day.
Today is my birthday.
Will you give me a gift?
Ask away.
Don't kill Gautham.
Gautham
Hey, Gautham!
Where are you?
Come stand before me!
I must kill you!
I have lost to you!
You won over me!
I need to kill you!
Or you come and kill me!
Come and kill me!
I didn't come to kill you, Anguli.
I came to save a life.
I'm sorry, Anguli!
Gautham
Oh my God!
Thank You!
Thank You, Gautham!
Teacher!
Don't leave me here like this, teacher!
I'm scared to stay alone, teacher!
Kill me and then leave, teacher!
Give me one last punishment before you go, teacher!
Gautham...
Give me that key.
Give that to me, teacher!
Give it to me, teacher!
Teacher
Hi
You were with the killer for seven days, Dagini. Why didn't he kill you?
I don't know.
That serial killer got away. Think he'll come after you again?
He won't.
Everyone says he must be sentenced to death if the cops catch him.
How do you think he must be punished?
I didn't see the killer that you all saw.
What I saw...
...was a child.
He has committed sixteen murders!
How can you call him a child?
It's true.
He is a killer.
But in those seven days...
...I saw a mere child in him!
I saw an orphaned child who had no one.
In the fragile heart of that child...
...I saw plenty of unhealed wounds.
"On mother's lap I rest my head!"
"O precious soul!"
Had I been that child's mother...
...or his sister...
...I would've taken good care of that child...
...and safeguarded him with plenty of love!
"The comfort of your blessed lap, I never had!"
"For the path I'm to tread, your thoughts are all I have!"
"Sing me a lullaby, my dearest!"
"O my dearest! Light of my life!"
"On mother's lap, I rest my head!"
"O precious soul!"
"I, who wreaked wounds..."
"...am drowning in darkness today!"
"I think of the soul that rendered justice..."
"...and drench myself in its light!"
"For me to go back in time..."
"...no magic spells, there can be!"
"The world to change again..."
"...I have no more burden!"
"Mother! O my mother!"
"Your child shall meet your womb again!"
"On mother's lap, I rest my head!"
"O precious soul!"
"The comfort of your blessed lap, I never had!"
"For the path I'm to tread, your thoughts are all I have!"
"Sing me a lullaby, my dearest!"
"O my dearest! Light of my life!"
"On mother's lap, I rest my head!"
"O precious soul!"
"On mother's lap, I rest my head!"
"O precious soul!"
"To share my sorrow and ease my burden, I had no one!"
"A spring of compassion to quench my thirst, I never had!"
"Anger chased me like a shadow and turned my life upside down!"
"Affection turned to be a mirage that my heart stumbled on and on!"
"O dear wind..."
"I sleep in the comfort of your lullaby, today!"
"On mother's lap, I rest my head!"
"O precious soul!"
