Anna, Paathaalaam has been killed!
(Suresh) Now showing, new arrival. A blockbuster episode!
You senseless idiot! Now that you have done it
within his jurisdiction, he'll do what he wants.
-(thrashing) -(man screams in pain)
-Hey, come! -Sir, let me go. I'm innocent.
The whole world looks at us doubtfully that the son will be like his dad.
(Prabha) They've planned to kill Veera and Kumar.
They are young, sir, save their lives at least.
(man) Who the fuck is that lawyer, anna?
He dares to help them surrender.

Hello.
What's up, Prabhakaran?
I heard you were fighting with kids.
Hope you didn't get hurt.
They will not leave you.
Until you are stranded all alone, they will never leave you.
You have to keep running.
A problem that was caused by a Label
can be solved only by another Label.
Well, sir.
As if they're the only bad people.
You are speaking with the audacity of an innocent person?
Let me ask you this seriously.
How are you different from them?
Sir.
My fight itself is against all this.
Just because I have a problem now,
do you think I will go against it and embrace their ways?
Who is your witness that makes you take a dig at me?
Please hang up, sir.
(dramatic music)
(motorbike revs up)
(sirens blaring at a distance)
(music intensifies)
-(knife slashes) -(man grunts)
-(Kumar shouts) -(knife slashes)
Do you think he will also get killed?
(Prabha) That won't happen.
(cameras clicking)
-(knife swishes) -(boy grunts)
(intense music fades)
(Murugesan hisses)
(whispers) Hey.
Hey! (hisses intensely)
(Murugesan) Hey, Prabha.
(continues hissing)
Hey.
Hey, come here.
Oh, dear.
-Will they kill him as well? -(knife slashes)
(boy grunts)
(hisses loudly)
Surround him. Don't let him go.
-(hisses) -(knife slashes, grunts)
What is your problem, Appa?
-(dog barks) -(cricket chirps)
(Amudha) Why did you have to shout at him?
(Prabha) Amma, he was calling me constantly when I was studying.
I just raised my voice at him a little bit.
I wonder what kind of a husband you raised.
I just raised my voice slightly, and he left the house.
Stop it!
Now where will I look for him?
(waves crashing slowly)
-Hey! -Huh?
(Amudha) What are you doing here?
Um.
Sorry, Appa!
Get lost.
Wow.
You could've just shown it to me, right?
Why did you hiss at me and annoy me?
Fine, Amma didn't see it. You were discreet.
She didn't, did she?
-I hid it back there anyway. -No, no. She didn't see it.
She didn't see.
What, man?

"Case number 19 from Saroja and Sakthivel.
"Thiruvallur street."
Please sit there.
"Chennai - 600004."
-Tell them both their hearing times. -Okay.
-Don't delay. -Okay, sir.
(Sukumar) Hey, tell me that pin code again.
(Akhila) Wait.
600004.
Akka, please.
Don't ask me to bail them out.
Don't bail them out, son.
Let them stay inside.
Once they are out,
they might get a daily wage job
or find a job as per their education.
Let them do whatever.
But don't let them come out, make them feel important,
get into the Label,
and get them killed, Prabha.
We met them in prison.
They don't even have an ounce of guilt, sir.
They were arrogantly walking around as if they've achieved something great.
Policemen were saluting them.
They were relishing it, sir.
That adulation has gone to their heads.
They consoled us saying they will be out soon and not to worry.
(scoffs) In the euphoria of getting a Label,
finally,
they've earned us a label of
being a mother and a sister of murderers.
Akka.
I'll take care of it.
You can leave now.
(melodramatic music)
(firecrackers bursting)
(phone rings)
-Yes, Amma. -Thambi, where are you?
I'm in my office.
Appa and I have come for the temple festival. Are you coming?
No, Amma, I have some work.
I'll come later.
Oh, is it?
Okay, have your dinner before coming home.
-Okay, Amma. -Okay, then. I'm hanging up.
Here.
(exhales deeply)
(cracks knuckles)
(notification beeps)
(thrilling music)
(music intensifies)
We should have brought Poorni too. She would've come to the temple.
-What say? -(phone ringing)
-Hello. -Appa.
Don't go anywhere. I'm coming over.
-Okay, we'll be right here. -Appa, stay with the crowd.
Don't go anywhere alone!
Why? What happened?
Hello?
Hello--
-What happened? Is he coming? -Yes, he said he's coming.
(motorbike whirrs)
-Listen, wait here. I'll be back. -Where are you going?
I'm going to the restroom.
All right, go.

Hey.
Call the one who has sent you.
Do it!
Tell him that the one you all came to kill
says he is Peter Label's Murugesan.
Ask him what has to be done.
Ask him!
(man) Hey, leave immediately!
Run away.
(intimidating music)
-(music stops) -(feet shuffling)
-Shall we go? -Let's go.
-As if you'll starve. -Yes.
-Make fish curry-- -Appa, Amma.
Appa.
Are you all right, Appa?
Yes. Why? What's wrong?
No, it's nothing.
Let's go, Appa.
Do one thing, take your mother. Be safe.
Give me your bike key.
-You guys go. I'll be right back. -Okay, Appa.
-Why is he going alone? -Nothing, Amma, he will come.
(train horn blows)
(Amudha) What happened?
(Prabha) Nothing, Amma.
I'm just thinking about a case.
Four men came at us with knives at the festival.
When I came out of the restroom,
they were shoving their knives in their pockets and running away.
My heart skipped a beat when I saw it.
Thankfully, you showed up.
I don't know what happened or what the problem was.
It is nothing!
Appa was standing in the corner, right?
They may have come to rob people.
And they ran away after seeing Appa.
(Amudha) Could be so.
I was terribly scared.
(music turns upbeat)
(Paramasivan) They will not leave you.
Until you are stranded all alone, they will never leave you.
You'll have to keep running.
(music intensifies)
(phone ringing)
Welcome, Prabhakaran.
Welcome.
What is the case, sir?
It is your boys' case, of course.
Veera and Kumar.
(emotional music)
One tea.
-Sorry, sir. -It's okay.
Miss.
Prabha-- Prabhakaran, miss.
I was your student.
I used to come from Vaali Nagar.
You asked me what I wanted to become, and I asked you to help me know.
Hey!
Are you that Prabha?
What are you doing now?
-Are you a lawyer now? -Yes, miss.
Very good, son!
What are you doing here, miss?
Well...
A counsellor is using our school ground as a cycle stand...
Forget it. Have a seat.
So?
Are you really going to become the judge?
In another six to seven months, I will be, miss.
Oh, my!
-Fantastic, boy! -(chuckles)
I thought you were just excited and might take up a normal job.
You are going on the right track.
You have made me proud.
Thank you, miss.
This is your Label.
You will definitely change the identity of your area.
I should see you as a judge very soon.
I want to feel prouder.
On our school's annual day next year, you will be the chief guest.
I will introduce you as the "Honourable Judge Prabhakaran"
to everyone in school.
It has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?
(solemn music)
(teacher) On stage, I will proudly tell the whole school about you.
What happened to you, how it changed you,
what you asked me in class,
what you have become today,
I should tell them everything.
You will be an inspiration to all the students.
There will be many more like you.
I'm immensely proud of you.
As "the Honourable Judge Prabhakaran,"
I should present you on the stage.
It has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?
(teacher) You made my day.
What more do I need?
I'll see you, boy.
Sorry.
See you later, Your Honour!
(man) Veerasekhar and Kumaraguru versus Arul Kumaran.
Veerasekhar and Kumaraguru versus Arul Kumaran.
(music intensifies)
You are making a mistake, thambi.
Aren't you a lawyer?
I'm asking you to do your job. What is the problem now?
You can take up Ayya's cases,
earn good money,
and be happy in life.
That guy is also a lawyer, right?
Who?
Him, your Ayya.
Ask him to work for me.
Let him take up some good cases before his time comes.
His reaction will be totally adverse.
Adverse?
That man is a criminal.
If his reaction is going to be adverse,
I'm a criminal lawyer.
(music rises)
-(indistinct chatter) -(cheering)
-(boy) Do it, man! -(referee whistles)
Welcome, akka.
-Hey, the coach I told you about. -Hi, man.
Hello, coach.
-Running, right? -Yes, coach.
Okay, sir, I will take care of him.
(coach) Discipline is the most important in sports. Be on time.
-Thanks a lot, Prabha. -Akka, please!
You just watch how many accolades he is going to win.
(man) I heard there was some issue between you and advocate Prabhakaran.
(suspenseful music)
(music turns sinister)
(music halts)
Judge exam, is it?
What is that?
-FIR. -Oh.
What is the case?
It seems there was a complaint filed with the bar council.
Murder, surrender, juvenile home, I'm hearing so many things. (chuckles)
Apparently, only if the goalkeeper comes and gives his testimony,
can you become a judge.
What do you want?
Did you kill so that the truth will not come out?
Paathaalam, I mean.
Huh?
(paper rustles)
You were one of the five boys who committed murder that day.
To bring you out, the goalkeeper Nagendran took the money and went in.
That Nagendran is
Paathaalam, which you found out with the help of Inspector Muthuvel.
If he tells the truth, you might not be able to become a judge.
So, with the help of Veera and Kumar, who you have already saved,
you got Paathaalam killed.
So unlike what everyone thinks,
this is not a murder done for Label.
It was done so that you could become a Label.
I'm sure you know that,
more than the killer himself,
the person who aided and abetted the murder gets the higher punishment.
So,
you are A1 now, and we have restarted the investigation.
It is customary to convey good news in person.
I thought I will tell you now and take you with me.
Hmm?
(music intensifies)
All you fuckers are dead meat!
Paathaalam's men are going to dismember you.
(suspenseful music intensifies)
