Behind every mask, there is a face Behind that, a story
Kodaikanal
Life is an unusual experience.
For some, it's the kind they love For others, it feels like dragging dead weight
As we stand between these two,
although everything is bright in the peak of the sunlight,
it will be dark for us.
If we think about what will happen in that darkness...
it makes us feel uneasy.
Now, I'm being stretched in trying to live a life that I want.
Something that we thought was right in our life...
...at one point, it appears to be wrong.
But give it a few days... and it will start to seem right again.
I had made my mind up to not make any mistake in my life.
And although I know killing someone is wrong...
Today I'm going through with it.
One Month Ago
In the wee hours of the morning
My legs are on the ground
There is a long road ahead
For me to rule
In the wee hours of the morning
With sleep still cuddling my eyes.
Mist makes this place look like heaven
And, I become a child
My breath becomes clean
My body flushes the sweat
Like the cloud, so light
I too running
My heart beat rises
My blood gets purified
In today's sky
I shine like a star
Hey, early morning, beautiful morning
You are my first love
Hey, early morning, beautiful morning
I am born new everyday, to see you
In the wee hours of the morning
My legs are on the ground
Kavi, wake up baby. It's time for school.
There is a long road ahead
Wake up, dear. Mom has to go to school as well.
In the wee hours of the morning
With sleep still cuddling my eyes
Mist makes this place look like heaven
And I become a child
My heart beat rises
My blood gets purified
In today's sky
I shine like a star
Hey, early morning, beautiful morning
You are my first love!
Hey, early morning, beautiful morning
I am born new everyday, to see you
In the wee hours of the morning
My legs are on the ground
There is a long road ahead
For me to rule
Chapter 1 FACES
Where's the cook?
Why are you cooking?
She is on leave for a month.
Oh...
It's okay.
Today is our anniversary. I wanted to taste your cooking anyway.
Don't try to flatter me, Karthik.
I have time to cook.
But, you don't have time to eat.
Every time it's the factory and your business.
That's all you care about!
Okay, please don't start again.
I know of wives who are not happy with their husband's earning.
You are the only one who says not to earn.
What's that "don't start again"?
Am I a radio?
Is earning the only goal you have?
I am earning for my wife, right!
Then what about the others things?
Others things...
One minute, please.
Hello. -Hello.
Tell me Sathya brother.
Brother, how are you?
I am fine, brother. How are you?
I'm doing okay
Why brother? Any problem?
Are you in any need of money?
Not money, but I am worried about Guru.
What's with Guru?
I tried so much, but he's not studying well.
He failed the high school again.
I don't know what to do next.
Brother...
Educated guys work for salary.
Uneducated ones employ ten people.
Talent only matters. Guru is talented.
What's the use of that talent?
He is loafing around and teasing women.
Blame his age!
It will be helpful if you employ him in your factory.
Why are you hesitating to ask this?
Anything for you!
You have done a lot for me.
Send him to the factory, I'll see to it.
Okay, brother.
Thank you so much, brother.
Please don't be formal. Guru is a part of my family.
I'll take care.
This is enough. If he's with you, he'll surely prosper.
He'll board the first bus tomorrow.
Hmm, not tomorrow. I'm leaving for Chennai for two days.
Umm... Shall I call you after I am back?
You send him later.
Sure. Thank you so much.
Okay, brother. Thank you.
Are you leaving to Chennai tonight?
Yes, dear.
I am getting late to the office, see you.
Please eat and go.
Don't have the time. I'll eat at the factory.
Hello! - Hello, Shiva!
Tell me.
Why are you not picking up my call? Are you driving?
If I pick your call, you will start lecturing me.
Hello, what are you saying?
Nothing, tell me.
How is Karthik? How is your business going on?
Karthik is doing good. Business is good.
Good.
Palani come here. - Sir!
Then, how are you?
I'm good, dad.
Support Karthik and develop the company. - Okay, dad.
Don't be like this, change yourself.
I'm also enquiring about you. I know what you're doing.
Why didn't you go with Karthik to Chennai? Try to attend the client meetings.

Is anyone at home?
Don't you see me?

Dad is in office. Mom is taking a bath.

Who are you talking to, Kavi?
I don't know who is he.
Who are you?
I am Guru, Sathya's son.
Oh, so you're Guru!
Come inside, brother.
Brother?
He looks like a cracker.
Kavi!
Go and do your homework.
I'm tellling you to go. - Okay, miss.
Please come in.
How are you?
I am good.
You were expected to come in the morning.
The bus arrived late. That's why...
Okay, sit down, I'll get coffee. - Okay.
Morning, sir! - Morning.
Did you see Shiva?
No, sir.
Yes, uncle.
Did you speak to him?
No, uncle. I've been trying to reach him since the morning.
He is not picking my call.
I don't know where he has gone, uncle.
I'll call you back, uncle. - Okay.
Hey, Shiva.
Won't you ever change?
Karthik, when did you come?
Hey.
That does not matter!
Have you sent the courier?
Which courier?
Fresh Tea company samples.
Oh, that one! I'll send it now.
You don't have to do anything.
Karthik, wait!
Karthik.
We can see that later, Palani. -Sir.
First, courier the Fresh tea company Samples.
I'll make it ready sir.
Did you check it? -I've checked it, sir. You also give it a read.
Karthik...
What's your problem, dude?
Why are you tensed now?
This factory won't run if I am not here.
But no one will care, if you are here or not.
Don't disturb. I have loads of work. You leave first.
What are you trying to say?
Keep this bad habit of yours outside the factory. Do you get it!
Without me, we would not have started this factory.
Don't question me for small things.
Okay, because you've invested money, everything may look small for you.
We have a bad reputation already because of you, Shiva.
It's only now this factory is growing again.
Even a small mistake can cost us an order, do you know that?
Market is so competitive.
Okay Karthik, relax.
You want me to keep this outside office. Agreed.
Okay, I'll go get ready, I have a meeting.
This is your room.
If anything you need, ask me. -Thank you.
Come for dinner. -Okay.
Baby, stop...stop... -Good morning, dad.
Good morning, Kavi dear.
How are you?
Good, sir.
Did you sleep well? Was the room comfortable?
It is nice, sir. Thank you, sir.
It's okay.
Since I was late, I couldn't talk to you last night.
How is Sathya brother?
Dad is good.
Kavi, aren't you getting ready for school?
I've fever, dad.
You are acting to avoid the school?
Go get ready, else mom will leave you and go.
Let's talk about your work now.
I won't have time in the office. -Okay, sir.
Come, we will speak as we eat. -Okay, sir.
At sharp 12.30, be at the office. -Okay, sir.

Chapter 2 THE SECRET
Hey, Shiva.
-Tell me.
Will you please cancel the tender meeting? -Why? What happened?
I left the file at home.
It's an important meeting, right?
Wonder, how I forgot about it.
-Okay, don't worry. I'll take care.
Okay.
Guru.
Karthik sir is calling you, for something important.
Me?
Yes.
Go soon.
Sir.
Come in, Guru.
Nothing much, go home.
There is an office file on my shelf.
I forgot it in a hurry, will you get it?
What happened? What are you thinking?
It's 'our' house.
Get it soon.
Okay, sir.
Thank you.
Hey, Guru.
Sir, no problem.
"No problem", what happened to you?
Nothing, sir.
Go, do your work.
Okay, sir.
Morning, sir!
Okay.
Dude, where are you going?
For the meeting.
Which meeting?
Tender meeting. I called them and told them not to cancel it.
How are you going without the file?
It's here.
You said you don't have it.
That's why I called you and as usual, you didn't pick.
I asked Guru to get it.
Sorry, my phone was in silent.
It will be nice, if you come along.
No, you go ahead.
The file looks good.
Hey dude, why is this guy so upset?
Hey Pandi, ask him. -To him?
Guru!
Why are you looking dull?
I'm asking you only.
Nothing.
Okay.
He is not telling. -Okay, leave it.
Guru, come here.
Why are Shiva and Karthik sir calling this guy?
Could there be a problem?
Who knows. -Come, let's check.
I'm not coming. You go.
Come, let's go.
Guru...Guru...Guru...
How is your mom and dad?
They are good.
Okay, very good.
It's been locked.
Fine, what did you see today? -Sir.
Sir, I don't get you.
Karthik told me that you went to his house.
Sir...
Tell me the truth.
Sir, I promise.
Knock well.
I didn't see anything, sir.
Tell me the truth.
Sir.
I will not tell Karthik Sir, please leave me.
If you open your mouth, I'll drag you and your family to the streets.
You will not have this job or anything.
I have to go to the washroom.
Guru is vomitting inside.
Ask him to come out quickly.
Madhu should not know, no one else should know.
No, sir.
Please leave me, sir.
Hey, come out, man.
I'll mind my own business, sir. I won't tell anyone, sir.
Promise?
You people are testing my patience. -Go...
Who is that outside? -Come on.
Hey, give the cash... -Cash...
Hey, give the cash.
Give the cash. -Give, dude.
Guru only brought us.
Guru, give the cash for alcohol.
Quarter for each one.
Guru only gave, right?
Now, do you understood why I wanted him to join our group?
Go get the liquor.
Mom.
One minute.
What?
That is...
Fooled you, right?
Okay, we will go on Friday.
Hey, Kavi...
Come.
What happened?
What happened to my darling?
Got hurt.
Nothing.
It's paining.
Nothing, dear.
Dad is here with you.
It's almost over.
Kavi is a good girl.
You're a good girl, right? - Why have you come early today?
Why? Shouldn't I come?
What happened?
Oh, no! what happened? -I fell down.
How can you be so irresponsible?
You are at home. Can't you keep an eye on her?
I'm irresponsible?
Look who's talking about responsibility?
Just because you came early one day...
However late I am, I am responsible enough, Madhu.
Don't fight in front of the kid.
Let's talk later. Leave it.
What happened to my dear? Why did you run?
Mummy chased me.
Why did you chase my daughter?
She told me a secret.
What secret is that? Sit here.
Tell dad too.
What's that?
Come near, dad.
Oh...
So you are not hurt?
You were acting all this while.
Daddy will not take you to the chocolate factory.
Chocolate factory?
Dad, please take me with you.
Chocolate factory? For what?
They have given a special invitation in the office.
For when? Coming Friday.
Dad, it's super. Mom, you too come.
Friday...
What's with you? Do you have any other work?
No, we'll go.
Come, let's eat.
Shall we eat? -Okay.
Good girl.
Hey, give this to him.
Guru, take this.
Why are you looking dull? Take it.
There you go.
Guru, why did Shiva sir take you to the bathroom?
Guys, let's drink.
Unnecessarily...
Guru, cheers!
Cheers!
Did Guru eat?
No, he didn't come home.
He's not home yet?
He'd have gone somewhere. He'll come.
Come. -Morning.
Shocking that you're on time, dude.
Collection. Must be punctual to collect the payment.
Good that you're smart enough. Okay, come.
Let's go inside.
Did Kavi wake up? -Come and see.
Madhu, make some tea. Shiva has come.
Wait here. I'll bathe and come.
Thank you.
How are you?
I am good.
Kavi, get ready for school.
Will you get ready first?
You're talking too much. Go.
Can't bear this torturous teacher. -Chatter box, come.
Anni [Sister-in-law], sugar is less.
I'll get it, brother.
Here, brother. -Hey.
You are being so formal. Teasing me?
You too called me anni [sister-in-law], right?
Tell me, "I love you".
I can't. Someone might come. Leave me.
It's okay, tell me.
Leave me. Karthik might see.
Who? your husband?
He hasn't known for past 2 years -Please.
What is going to change now?
Leave me.
Shiva, leave me.
Leave me. -Okay.
Can we try with spectacles? -Hey, give the spectacles.
Who is that?
Your husband is calling. No other work for him.
Shiva, it seems someone is there.
Hey, no one is here. You are unbelievable...
Ask him whether he is coming or not?
Hi Guru, we are going to have tea. Are you coming?
I have work; you guys carry on.
Dude, you continue here. We will go. -Okay.
18, 19, 20 lakhs.
Golden Tea company people are too good.
This is just the beginning.
Awesome.
Okay, tell me about Guru?
Like what?
He is good.
I don't think so.
Why?
Don't know, something is off about him..
He's not good.
You are never in office.
How can you say this?
Just wait, one day you alone will discard him.
Tell me, Palani.
I'll make sure of it!
No, no...we are coming. Ask them to wait.
Hey, Vasu! I was searching for you. Why did you do that? Answer me.
What?
What's the difference between last year and current year?
12% sir.
Why has it dropped?
Hey, why did you hit me?
Hello! - Hello, sir!
We are in a meeting. Don't disturb.
There's a big problem, sir.
Vasu and Guru are fighting, sir.
Okay, hang up the phone. I'll come.
Okay, sir.
Sir, they are fighting. Stop them.
Why have we hired you?
You need to control all this.
Go and stop them, don't disturb us again.
Hey... -You dare raise hands on me?
How dare you hit the manager?
Don't you have any sense?
Behave properly.
Ask Guru to come here. -Sorry, sir.
Hey, go inside.
What happened?
Is this why I offered you the job?
Tell me the truth.
He is asking you, right? You're standing dumb.
Shiva.
We have lost thirty thousand because of him.
He is standing without any respect. You...
Why are you staring?
Leaving us at a loss and fighting too.
Shiva calm down, you go out.
I'll talk to him.
Why should I go out?
Ask him to get out.
Shiva. -Fire him.
You be outside.
I'll talk to him personally and call you. Go...
Hey, what happened?
Vasu did everything, sir.
He threw the tea leaves down. When I asked him why he did that...
...He started hitting me.
Are you telling the truth?
Believe me.
It's the last warning for you.
If anything like this happens again... Go...
Sir. - What? -I want to tell you something.
Tell me, what's the matter?
Spoke to him?
Go and do your work.
Hey, stop. Hey, you.
You there, don't run.
Catch him.
Here, on right.
Hey, don't leave him.
Run now.
Are you running? -Don't.
Hit him now.
Hey no.
You dare hit him?
You were hitting him when he was alone? -Don't hit me.
Shiva sir only asked me to do it.
I promise, he only asked me to do it.
Hey Guru, where are you going?
Leave him.
Hey Guru... We are hitting him for your sake.
If you hit him again, that's the end. Get lost.
Good morning, dear students!
I have a surprise for you all.
Is he going to get retired?
Yes, our school annual day will be held on 30th of this month.
Like every year, we have to conduct this function successfully this year too.
...For which we need your support.
Dad. -What, Kavi?
You tricked me by not coming to the school function last year.
I'm going to be an angel this year. You must come.

Wow, it's excellent!
See, didn't mom tell you.
Madhu, on 30th I need to go to Chennai.
Oh, with whom are you going?
I am going alone.
Won't you come for the annual day, daddy?
Dad has an important meeting, my sweetheart.
Then, I don't want this dress, daddy.
What's this, Karthik?
I will ask dad to come for function. Don't cry.
Karthik is going to Chennai on the 30th. Annual day function is on the same day.
Hey, I was searching for you.
Everyone is ready. Come, let's go.

Chapter 3 Investigation
Kavi's right leg is fractured.
She needs bed rest.
She should be fine within two months.
I have given a pain killer. Follow the prescription. Will discharge her in two days.
Okay, Karthik. Take care.
The other day you were lecturing about responsibility? Is this it?
Where did you go?
To the bathroom.
You should have taken her along.
You...
She's just a kid.
See what happened because of your negligence.
Okay, don't be angry.
It's not her fault?
Is it Kavi's fault then?
Why do you support her?
At least you should have been with her.
I'm watching everything. Nothing is going right.
And this is the second time.
I can't trust you, anymore.
I'll appoint a nurse to take care of Kavi at home.
Why nurse? I can take care of her myself.
This is how you take care.
Karthik, cool.
You want a nurse, right? I'll go and talk.
Relax!
Dude, get it. -Take it, brother.
Dude, this is for us. Keep it under the seat.
Super, dude.
Give me the money. -How much?
Rs.1600. - Get it from them in the back.
Give me money, brother. -Money.
Give me fast. -Hey, give the money.
Hey, why are you giving Rs.100? - I have this much only.
Give me the balance.
Totally Rs. 1600. -1600?

Hey, stop.
Good morning, sir.
Nagarajan. -Sir.
Where is the tea? -I'll bring now, sir.
Do I have to ask for it? -Sorry, sir.
Okay, call those two guys standing outside. -Okay.
Are you the guys who caused the accident in the chocolate factory function?
Yes, sir.
You don't have the documents of the vehicle.
No use of blaming you.
Should blame your parents.
It's your good time.
They haven't filed any complaint.
Okay...
Give Rs.5000 and leave.
Sir...sir...
Sir, we don't have that much.
What man?
Do as you're told.

Please, listen to me. It's my uncle's vehicle.
Hey, leave it. Get on.
Take the vehicle, let's go.
Get lost.

Look there, a damaged bi-cycle is there.
See whether the blood samples from this bi-cycle...
...matches with the corpse's blood stain.
Sure, sir.
There is a black paint stain on the cycle, check that as well.
Okay, sir.
It looks like an accident and a murder case.
The corpse is half burnt.
You have time until tomorrow morning. I need the reports.
Sure, sir.
Okay, the bill has been paid. A nurse has been arranged.
Thank you, dude.
I'm waiting to get the report, sir. -Okay, good.
Saravanan. -Sir.
Do you have a handkerchief?
I have, but for what sir?
Wipe it off. You're salivating.
Saravanan sir. -I'm coming, doctor.
Dad...
Mom, where did you go? Hereafter don't leave me alone and go.
Sorry.
Dude, where is Balu?
Balu brother!
Balu, cop has come for you.
Greetings, sir.
Leave all that. Where is this month's due?
If the constable comes, you give excuses.
Do you expect me to come?
I'll give it now, sir.
Mani, get me the box.
See you. -Okay, sir.
Balu.
Sir.
Look at this tyre mark.
What vehicle uses such tyres?
Sir, this is just a mark.
How can I guess with this?
Give it. -Take it, sir.
Come, get in the vehicle.
Sir...
You were smoking weed over there, right?
Show me the photo, sir.
Why are you people afraid of getting in the police vehicle?
Sir, looking at the mark, the width might be 235mm.
Sir, this mark seems to belong to a Scorpio or Mahindra jeep.
Those vehicles have this kind of tyre.
Call me when you spot it.
Okay sir, I'll inform.
Good girl.
Come let's eat. -I'll take care.
Hello, Madam. -Who are you?
I'm Gayathiri, the nurse. I have come from the hospital.
Oh, come in.
They don't have any other work. They will come to complain about me.
Okay, you hang up. I'll take care.
Sir, autopsy report.
Sir, the blood on the bi-cycle and on the corpse is matching.
He was hit on the head and died.
Not only that, even the fingerprints are matching sir.
It was not done by a single person.
Then?
We have recovered three fingerprints, sir.
Oh...
Three people. Super!
Yes, sir.
How have they burnt the corpse?
They have tried to burn the corpse with whiskey, sir.
That's why the corpse is not burnt properly.
It might be local alcohol, sir?
Anbuselvan...
That's all we have in the report, sir.
Whose corpse is that?
No one has come to claim the corpse.
No missing case as well.
Very good!! First go and find that.
Or should I do that?
No, I'll do it, sir.
You said whiskey, right?
Yes, sir.
Hello! -Sir, Good morning.
Brother, I won't come to the factory for two or three days.
Keep updating me on phone. -Okay, sir.
Is Guru there in the factory?
I haven't seen him since morning, sir.
I'll check around and call you, sir. -Okay.
Okay, sir.
When will you go to the town?
I'm not going. I have sent my son.
Ok Ok
Hello.
Brother, how are you?
I'm fine, how about you?
I'm fine, brother. -Tell me.
Has Guru come there?
He is not here at home or factory.
He informed me that he is coming.
Didn't he tell you?
He didn't tell me anything. Is there any problem?
There is no problem. Shall I ask him to call you when he arrives?
Okay, ask him to call me as soon as he arrives.
Sure, I'll tell him to call. -Okay, brother.
Madhu...
Okay, sleep.
Bye, dear. - Bye, uncle.
Did you see Kavi? -Yes.
Where is Guru? Not seen in the factory too?
He went to his hometown.
What? Any problem?
Shall I talk?
I'll take care.
Okay, I'll leave for the office.
Don't try to change my mind, Shiva. It's irritating.
She has no one else other than you.
She has left her parents for you. Why do you fight for such silly things?
Have you come to support her?
Hey, why are you like this? Am I mad?
Being with her, you too have gone mad.
Hey, Karthik.
Dude, what's this?
Hey, go away. -Greetings, sir.
Tell me, sir.
So,
In this town, there's only this shop right?
Yes, this is the only one shop, sir.
Do you sell at night illegally through someone else?
Nothing like that, sir.
That's okay...
Yesterday or the day before, did three or four guys come here...
...to buy alcohol in a black jeep or a big vehicle?
I don't know whether big or black but people do come in jeep.
Hey, don't I know that?
Sir, I know.
What do you know?
Four guys came yesterday...
In a black jeep...
Tell me the truth exactly.
Sir, I'm telling you the truth only.
They bought alcohol and left without paying money and hit Sanjay as well.
Sanjay?
Yes, sir.
Who is he?
He works here, sir. He didn't come today.
Do you know anything else? Vehicle number, name...
I don't know all those, sir.
That's all?
Take it. Leave.
Though inebriated, he is clear. Stingy.
Just take one more.
Is this jeep yours?
Yes, sir.
What happened, sir?
Scoundrel, you wastrel... -Dad...dad...
I got you a job so that you don't suffer but you quit and came back?
Don't hit, stop it, dad!
You senseless! I'll kill you. -Dad.
Dad...
You haven't even informed Karthik sir.
I did inform him.
Stop lying.
Guru...
Please, dad.
Hey, Guru. -Dad...
Someone is calling you. Go.
Should hit these guys with sandals.
Look at the company you keep.
Get lost. Don't come back.
What are you doing here?
Come, I'll tell you.
What's the matter?
Come on.
I'm asking you, right? Tell me.
Where are the others?
Shut up and get in the vehicle.
Come, let's go.
Where do you all come to make my life miserable.
Tell me the truth.
-Sir...please sir... - Leave us, sir.
You know everything, right? Tell me at least now.
Sir, I'll tell you everything. Sir...sir...
What happened?
How did you kill him?
First tell me who is he?
We can't identify him.
You've burnt him so horrible.
Tell me.
On that day, we all boozed to celebrate Kathir's birthday, sir.
Hop on we'll leave.
Whom are you calling mad?
I tried my best to advise him against it.
But Kadhir didn't listen, sir.
He drove the vehicle inebriated
I told you, did you listen to me?
He is dead.
Hey, take the corpse to the vehicle.
What?
We will get caught.
Yes, come on.
Let us throw the corpse somewhere.
Okay, take it.
I'm scared, come.
Take the vehicle, let's go.
Some one might have seen?
I'm scared.
Go fast.
What happened later?
We took the corpse and the cycle in the vehicle and left from there, sir.
Come on...come on...
Hope on.
Hey, hold carefully.
Come soon.
Oh, god!
Let's go.
Take the body there and burn it. -Hey, what are you saying?
Yes, go...
Take the liquor.
What?
It's under the seat. Take it.
Give me the bottle.
Give it.
Hey, what are you doing?
Take the matchbox.
Light it.
Me?
You... Give me.
Hey, come let's go.
Go...go...
Hey Chichu! Hey! You start the vehicle.
Come on.
Go fast.
Oh, god!
Enough, leave me.
Dude, don't blabber.
You all go away. Don't stay here.
You shut your mouth.
We would get caught. I'll go.
You're always sleeping.
Sir is calling you all. Come out.
Yes, sir.
The presentation is ready.
I'll definitely come, sir.
I'll be there on 30th as planned earlier, sir.
Thank you, sir.
Palani, brother. -Sir.
Any updates?
Sir, from the time you weren't here, many were absent.
Nothing else, sir.
Then, Shiva sir came to the office rarely.
He will never change.
You do one thing.
Tell me, sir.
Get me the list of those who took leave. -Okay, sir.
I'll take action. -Okay, sir.
I'm leaving, sir.
Everything will change if I don't come to the factory for three days.
What's this?
Karthik sir, forgive me.
I'll not come for job henceforth.
I'm going to my hometown.
I hid a matter from you for a long time.
The relationship between Shiva sir and Madhu mam is an illicit affair, sir.
Shiva sir threatened to kill me if I revealed this.
They both act all good before you.
Hello, tell me, sir.
Madhu's phone is not reachable. Can you give the phone to her?
Mam is not at home, sir. She has gone to school, sir.
School? -Yes, sir.
Why did you ask me to come now?
Where is 2105?
This way, sir. -Okay.
Coming. Karthik!
Please leave me, Shiva. I don't think all this is good.
What's not good?
I have done a mistake. Many problems are going on now, you know?
Kavi met with an accident. Karthik is not talking to me properly.
Well, let's stop it.
But on one condition.
I'll tell everything to Karthik.
Are you threatening me?
Not threatening, Madhu.
Is there a room booked in the name of Shiva?
Sorry, sir.
I need some time, understand.
It's against our hotel policy, we are not supposed to tell.
I can't cheat Karthik anymore.
Because of my state of mind then I have made a mistake
Please understand.
Okay, fine.
We will talk later.
Without permission, we can't give the details of the guest, sir.
I'm telling you, give me. -Sir!
Sir, there is nothing in that. Sir.
Sir..
I'm telling you it's not there.
Don't behave like this
Sir.
The deceased name is Sanjay. He was working at the bar, sir.
Just now the manager called and informed me.
Apart from that, he didn't turn up for the job for three days.
That bicycle belongs to him, sir. I have also enquired about the boys.
Pandi and Kathir were brought up in the reformation school.
Okay.
Chichu too is an orphan.
His uncle is his guardian.
Then?
Why are you stalling?
Is this all that you found out?
No, sir.
Guru has been staying at the factory owner's house.
He is a close relative of the owner, Karthik.
Is it confirmed?
Confirmed, sir.
Yes, sir.
Okay, I'll take care.
Sir, then don't forget about me. Take care of me too.
Hey, hang up the phone. -Sir...
Who is that guy?
We didn't kill him sir.
It's just an accident, sir.
We don't know who he was.
You don't know? -Yes, sir.
You killed a guy working at that bar.
You guys went to the bar and hit him.
Everyone has witnessed this.
Your life is over.
Sir, really we didn't kill him.
You will have a murder case on you.
I can't do anything.
Sir, please help us.
Please sir, forgive us.
If my parents know, they will die, sir.
Stop crying.
Go and stand there.
Go there. -I'll do whatever you tell, sir.
Please, sir. -I said go...
Will you do whatever I tell you?
-We will do, sir. -Please leave us.
If...
If I ask for ten lakhs will you give me?
Ten lakhs? Sir, how is that possible for us?
It's just ten lakhs.
Sir, it's really impossible sir.
I come from a very poor family, sir.
Not a wealthy family?
Don't act.
You can do this.
Give us another option, sir. We will definitely do, sir.
-Please, sir. -Yes, sir. We will do that.
Hey.
You have killed a guy driving under influence.
Do I look like a fool? I will kill you all here itself.
I'll give you two days.
I need ten lakhs.
I have caught you already.
If you think of escaping...
Remember, I have my eyes on you.
Sir, please sir.
Ten Lakhs...
Sir...
Two days.
Sir...sir...sir...
Chapter 4 The Plan
Ten lakhs.
Has that cop lost it?
Why are you getting tensed?
You are responsible for everything.
Sir, what do we do with those boys' case?
The deceased is an orphan, right?
Close the case mentioning as suicide.
No one will ask.
Both of you shut your mouths.
Please I beg you.
Find a way to escape from this.
Let's run away somewhere.
The cop can't find us if we run away.
That's right.
I'll go to Kerala. You guys go somewhere else.
Hey, what are you talking about? Have you forgotten how we were thrashed?
It is rare for such a lucrative case to take place here.
Do you think they'll be able to arrange the money?
Won't they flee?
Where will they go?
Hey, we should do something.
Definitely, we must do something
Why did the cop say "You can do it" to Guru?
Why are you asking me? How will I know?
Karthik sir!
Karthik sir?
Karthik!
Dinner is ready.
Yes. If we ask Karthik Sir, he'll help us, right?
That's right. If we ask, he will surely help us.
Help us?
What will you tell him and ask for ten lakhs?
Kadhir and I have killed someone.
So the cop is threatening us asking for ten lakhs.
Please help me sir! Will you ask so?
He might not give, if we ask.
What if we take without asking?
Hey!
Are you telling us to steal?
We have no other option.
First, an accident.
Then a murder.
And now...
Robbery!
Sir, Kavi is calling.
Okay. Let's go to the police station and surrender
Hey! What are you... -Get lost.
It's gone. Everything is gone.
Life long we will have to eat prison food.
Don't talk ill. -Get lost.
Shut up.
Then what else?
Will the cop leave us if we don't give him the money?
He will show us our end.
No Sir. I'll come. No problem.
Dad has an important meeting on the day of annual function, baby.
Madhu, I'll be going to Chennai on the 30th
What is the date tomorrow?
30th.
Why?
I have a plan.
But we need to be very alert...
...And do it carefully.
What's the plan? Tell us.
Tomorrow night, no one will be at Karthik sir's house.
We will go silently and take the money we need.
Hey, what are you saying? How will we go inside?
I have a spare key of his house in my room.
No one should notice us when we go inside or come out.
If in case they see, it will be a big problem.
You don't worry about that.
Look here. We will execute this plan perfectly.
Okay listen, if anyone comes home...
or by any other reason if our plan fails...
...we should escape immediately.
Kadhir, especially you. Don't mess up. -Okay.
We, a team of four
I don't have money, Uncle.
You'll never change
Here. Take it and get lost.
Thanks. Bye, Uncle.
Hello!
Madam. My son is in 2nd Grade there.
Isn't Annual Day today?
Yes, Sir. It's today.
OK, Madam. What time does it start and end?
Didn't you check the diary? Starts at seven and ends at ten.
Okay mam, thank you.
It starts at seven and ends at ten.

I'll ask Shiva to pick you up.
Okay. I'll ping you once I reach
Bye.
Miss you, Karthik
Miss you.
We'll return once it gets dark.
Okay. Let's head back for now.
Chapter 5 Face Off
Oh, no! When did you get this?
Hey, dude! For me too.
Hey, won't you guys change?
What are you doing?
It's first time.
Even for me. Just come.
Hey, we must take the money and leave in ten minutes.
Be careful.
Wooden log.
Hey, throw it and come.
Hey, let it be with us for safety.
Come soon.
Why? Throw it.
Leave it. -Listen to me.
Hey, check whether anyone is there. -Take it.
Guru, give me the key.
Hey, open it soon. Someone might come.
Dude, it's the wrong key. -Be patient.
Someone might come. Hurry up.
Hey, you said there won't be anyone. Come, let's run away.
Hey, Guru! We have knocked him down. Come.
What? Did you knock him?
I told you to flee if someone comes. Why did you do this?
Do you have any sense?
See, everyone will get caught because of you.
Hey, don't blabber.
You said there won't be anyone in the house.
He was standing like a ghost when we opened the door.
What did you expect me to do? I hit him because I got scared.
Enough.
I can't be a part of this anymore.
I'll leave.
Hey!
Dont you start again!
Before mam arrives, we should take the money and leave.
Do you get that?
Hey!
It's getting late.
Tell us where has he kept the money?
How will I know?
Even if I know, I won't tell you. Why should I tell?
We will all get caught. The cop will catch us tomorrow.
He will demand money for this as well.
We don't have time to talk. Tell us where is the money.
Why? Hey...hey...
Just listen to me, please let's leave from here.
Please guys.
Hey! Turn around!
Hey, you don't have to tell. I'll ask him.
Hey, no. Listen to me.
Hey, no.
Sir.
Are you okay?
Don't get scared.
We won't harm you.
Just tell us, where have you kept the money? That's enough.
Tell me, sir.
Are you a lunatic? Why did you break that now?
If he picks up the call? What will you do then?
His hands are tied, aren't they?
Sorry, dude.
Tell me, sir.
Where have you kept it?
Hey silly.
His mouth is stuffed with cloth. How will he speak?
Hey!
Who are you guys?
What are you doing at my house?
How do you know that I am at home?
Who sent you guys?
Did my wife and that bastard hire you?
Are you going to kill me? What are you going to do?
This is not working out.
You go and search for the money.
Go...
What are you standing for? Come along.
Yes, sir. Your wife sent us.
Good, you implicated mam. We will escape easily.
Tell me where he has kept the money?
I told you I don't know.
Hey, look at this. Foreign brand. Shall we booze?
Hey, keep it. -Hey.
Hey, keep it.
- Such a killjoy
Dude, search on the top.
I'll go and check on him.
He ran out, come let's go.
What are you saying? We have kept him tied, right?
If he brings the police, we will be trapped.
Come, let's go.
We have come this far, I can't come without taking the money.
Hey, Chichu, Pandi.
Leave him. Let's keep searching.
Where is Pandi?
He came along with you.
Pandi, what are you doing?
Who is this?
Kavi!
Karthi sir has left. Come, let's go.
You said no one will be here.
Chichu, you stay. I'll check and come. -Okay.
Shall I drop you inside?
No, I'll go.
You dropping me off is more than enough.
Don't touch me.
Hey, who is that?
The police? -Mam.
Oops...Did she come?
Shiva sir is also there. -Shiva sir?
Leave me? -I won't?
I came with you since Karthik told me. You didn't change at all.
Get lost.
Mam is coming. -What to do now?
I told you then to leave;
Now see! We are going to get caught.
Hey, what you are doing, No need.
No.
Hey!
Please, don't do it!
Key!
Gayathri!
He is dead. Why did you kill him?
He would have spoiled our plan.
If he had supported, why would I kill him?
Hey! Plan?
Will you kill me also?
-Get lost!
What did you plan?
Guru told Karthik sir has a lot of money.
We need 10 lakhs for the cop.
Kathir and I planned to take more amount and get settled.
But everything is messed up.
He too doesn't understand.
What? He is dead, right?
Ya
We just couldn't bear his tantrums. Damn it.
What are we going to do now?
We don't have time.
Karthick sir escaped.
Police can arrive at any time.
Then, mam?
Don't know.
Have you done the work?
Sir, i'm waiting. The vehicle didn't arrive yet.
What; Didn't arrive? - Yes, sir.
Vehicle number 3813.
Old Blue Honda city.
Okay. -Didn't arrive?
Everything is okay, sir. The vehicle didn't arrive yet.
It should have come by this time.
It should look like an accident. -Okay, sir.
After it's done, call me. -I'll call you once the job is done.
I'll kill you!
You son of a bitch!
Being with me...
Go to hell.
In the name of friendship...
Kavi...
We couldn't find the money when there is electricity.
Now it's power off. -Hey Kadhir, look out for torchlight.
He kept the bottle somewhere here.
There
Guru!
Hey, Chichu.
There's a kid sleeping upstairs. What if he kept the money there.
Can we go and see?
Okay, you help Kadhir.
I'll go and see upstairs.
Hey, what? Go...
Okay, come.
Hey, why are you silent? Scared of the dark?
I'm here, right? We'll see.
Hey!
Kadhir?
Hey, I'm Chichu...
I'm searching for the money in frustration. He is irritating.
Chichu...
Pandi...
Where are you?
Hey Pandi! What happened?
All these days, you wore a mask and led a fake life with me.
The punishment for that.
Is this!
The robbery took place at the home of the tea factory owner Karthik.
His business partner Shiva too died there.
Sir, how did his partner die?
He was killed by the robbers while trying to save the family.
Sir, how many people are involved in this? Who are they?
They worked in the same factory. Four people have done this together.
What could be the reason for the robbery to be done by such young people?
The reason is unknown.
We will find out soon.
Sir, a last question.
What happened to Karthik's family?
Luckily, they are safe.
Karthik saved his wife and child.
Chapter 6 The End
Life is an unusual experience.
For some, it's the kind they love
For others, it feels like dragging dead weight
In this world, there are more untrustworthy people than those who are not.
That incident in my life taught me a lesson that...
...I shouldn't trust anyone.
I don't like this life but I'm living it for the sake of my child
My wife, friendship, relationship...
I was living all these days amidst of these traitors.
Behind every mask, there is a face.
And behind that, a story.
And in that story, we're all Naduvan [man in the middle]
All these days, you wore a mask and led a fake life with me.
This is the punishment for that...
Is this!
