Listen, newbies,
you have joined at the right time. We've got a challenging case.
Stay dedicated, and you can learn a lot from it.
It's so gory with the stab wounds and paint all over the corpse.
Murthy said it's an important case and asked us to learn from it.
Corpses scare the crap out of me.
Now, what do I do?
Even my sister's house is on sale.
I must advise her to rent it out until someone buys it.
Sir, can I live there for free?
A house with the spare key outside, anyone can enter.
On top of that, why do you think they would've taken that lady there?
Just wait. The case will be solved before sunset.
Tell me.
The fingerprints of the other two boys from Hyderabad
match with those found in the house.
All three of them were in that house.
Okay. I'll take it from here.
I want everyone to assemble downstairs in 5 minutes.
What's bothering you?
The systems will be up and running in some time.
Come, let's go and have a cup of tea.
Once Anu is here, we must find out which folder was hacked.
Wait, does Anu know about it? Did you inform her?
She must here to get the work done.
-Will she come in soon? -What difference would it make?
Do you think any work will be done?
She is the cause of all my problems.
Know any suitable replacement for her?
Let's fire her.
-Stop acting crazy! -Who? Me?
She is busy hacking CCTVs then nabbing the hacker.
Wait and see. She won't turn up today.
How are you so good at making wrong guesses?
Malar...
Malar, I am very sorry.
I'll complete all the work today.
I will solve all the problems I caused, and then I will quit.
Come on now! Don't say that.
After all, this is our own contract.
Forget about this doofus.
We have got a lot of work on our hands.
So, come on.
First, let's have a cup of tea,
then find out which folder was hacked
and identify the suspicious guy in the footage.
Malar, a folder was hacked?
You thought no data was hacked.
But a folder from one particular date was hacked.
Also, we don't know the dates of the FIRs in that folder.
The footage from the day of the hack has been thoroughly checked.
Most are either office staffers or work for the department.
The only person who has no business here
is this fellow.
And nobody here knows him.
I know him.
Keep your diabetes and pressure pills handy.
Quench your thirst and relieve yourself now if you want.
But if you excuse yourself later for peeing or taking a dump,
I'll kill you.
None of you are leaving my room today.
All your skills will be put to test today. Let's see.
But there's only one toilet in his room.
Sir, tea.
-Serve it to everyone inside. -Okay, sir.
It was these three guys
who picked up that lady from the railway station on the 16th.
These guys must have taken her to my vacant house.
But...
if one of them is involved in the hacking incident,
there is definitely a link between the murder and this hack.
How do we find that out?
First, let's find out which folder was hacked.
Until then no one must find out about this hacking incident.
Bro...
there's an FIR request. Quite urgent, it seems.
The request is from Tirunelveli.
What do we do now?
Go and order three cups of tea for us.
-Now! -Okay, bro.
Hear me out carefully.
Three medical students from Hyderabad
raped and murdered their classmate and fled to Chennai.
On top of that,
they are involved in the murder that took place in our jurisdiction.
The hundreds of fingerprints collected from that house
also include the fingerprints of these boys.
The neighbouring station's cops found the corpse of one boy.
Let me explain it clearly once again.
Three boys.
Three murders.
One in Hyderabad...
and two here, in Chennai.
-Out of them-- -Sir...
-What is it? -What if this is a serial killing?
Are you an art student?
I have got one at home, just like you.
If those three boys are serial killers,
then who murdered one among them?
Stop pulling his leg. Poor kid.
Why didn't those boys go into hiding after escaping from there?
Why would they come here and kill someone instead?
What if they were here to kill that lady?
Quite possible.
Stop it. Oh, come on!
Why would they kill there, then come here to murder a random lady?
They chose a vacant house, which means
it must be a well-executed plan, right?
Look what all they have done at such a young age.
Can't wait to get my hands on them.
Murugan...
why are you quiet?
Well, they all have a point.
Before we dig into the details of those boys,
we already have someone who fits the bill.
Ganesan.
How could you leave him out?
If there's a motive in his case,
don't you think there'd be one for those boys too?
Systems were hacked on 16th November.
The hacked folder is dated 16th November.
The murder took place on 16th November.
My dad visits that house every year
on 16th November.
Out of these four,
the folder that was hacked and my dad's visit to that house
have a strong connection.
One is from years before.
The other has been happening for years.
The remaining two are recent events.
So, we've got a murder, a hack, a folder and a house visit.
To know the reason behind the murder,
we must find out the reason behind the hack.
To know the reason behind the hack,
we must find out which data was hacked.
To know which data was hacked,
we must check that folder and find which is the concerned FIR.
And how are you going to do all this, Anu?
I have no idea.
It's all back to square one.
Who is it?
Sir, he's on it.
The same answer every time! When will we get it?
You'll get it soon, sir.
Soon? How? I am in Tirunelveli!
Email doesn't take hours to reach. You'll get it in a jiffy.
Then make it fast.
Hang up and I'll email it in a few minutes, sir.
Listen, an important--
Bro...
please get done with that file and email it. This guy's after my life.
I'm on it.
Would you like to do it?
Look, he's calling again. Hear it for yourself.
Bharath, I forgot to tell you.
An important matter.
Along with that FIR copy, there is an insurance and a death certificate.
-Send those along too. -Okay.
-Bro, attach those too in the email. -Anu!
-I'll send them. -Okay, bro.
Anu, I pity our fate.
November '95 is following us everywhere.
This request is also regarding November '95.
The date doesn't match though. This is four days ago, 12th November.
Anu, check out this case file.
It'll take another hour for me to reach home.
You have your dinner and go to sleep.
What happened, dear? Why do you sound low?
A non-stop debate for the past six hours.
They are torturing me.
Please you also don't do the same.
Come on, dear. What happened?
Stop talking in that tone.
Just tell me what happened.
Hang up. Just hang up.
Don't pester me. I'll call you later.
I should have cut the call sooner.
God!
Stop! Stop it!
No! You guys are confusing me.
Start from the top.
You heard me. From the top.
Again from the top?
God!
Please move your hand.
See...
-Don't fall on me. -Okay.
Come on, man.
Ganesan...
is a crime novelist.
His work is all about
murders and heists.
He writes them with passion.
What's your point?
If he can write about murder with passion,
then can't he commit murder too?
Think about it, sir.
Don't underestimate the boys.
They are medical students who study blood and flesh with passion.
They are quite daring.
Answer me this.
Which is easier? Three boys killing a six-feet tall woman
or a single man killing that woman?
Of course three boys would've found it easy.
Do you understand, sir?
We do understand that silly logic.
What did that autopsy doctor say the other day?
It was a mentally unstable person who stabbed the victim.
Ganesan fits the profile perfectly.
There's already a murder charge on those boys.
Is there any on Ganesan?
Those boys already know a thing or two about committing murder.
They were smart enough to pour the paint there.
Agreed.
The boys may have poured the paint over the body.
Then who's the mentally unstable one?
If you say that, then let me put it this way.
In that scenario, let's say Ganesan was the mentally unstable person.
Then who poured the paint over the body?
How would I know?
But...
it was the day when the murder took place
that Ganesan visited the house, and he does it every year.
Didn't the laundry guy tell us that?
Fine, he visits the house every year.
But not every year a murder was committed there.
But he wasn't in this state all these years, right?
A few days ago, he tried stabbing his maid.
Sir.
Why are you enjoying this like a turtle watching tennis?
Sir, may I make a point?
Make a point or many, but make it clear. Got it?
I see the problem here.
A mentally unstable person is missing on the boy's team,
and a sane person is missing on Ganesan's team.
If we find the mentally unstable person first,
then he is the murderer.
If we find a sane person first, then they are the murderers.
Whomever we find first is the murderer, sir!
Do you get it now, sir?
I'm going to kill you now!
Sir, sir, I've taken a holy vow.
And that is what is saving you!
Sir, I'll explain it clearly now. Hear me out.
If we find the mentally unstable person first,
then they got it right.
If we find those boys first,
then they got it right.
Whomever we find first, is the group that wins this debate.
Do you get it now, sir?
He will keep blabbing like this!
What nonsense are you talking?
Stop it! I said stop it!
Back to your seat! Now!
-Go back to your seats! -You heard the officer.
Unnecessarily creating a scene.
What are you doing? Move back!
Senior...
I say the female victim in Hyderabad and the victim here are linked.
Now, if I prove it,
will you rule out Ganesan?
Doesn't he have better things to do?
Instead of getting out and catching them,
he keeps making me send faxes.
Crazy fellow.
These pants suck!
My big bottom isn't enough to keep them from falling off.
Drat!
This crazy guy.
It was faxed throughout Tamil Nadu, and no one has answers.
Does he think he'll get a reply from Hyderabad?
Well, I'll do my duty and fax it.
This stupid fax machine.
When I want to send a fax out, it receives a fax.
Fine, let me read it.
Listen...
don't give him the medicine.
Hello, sir. Sub-inspector Muthuvel from Tirunelveli here.
Remember you had faxed a woman's photo a couple of days ago?
Her name is Savithri.
She is from here, Sanganankulam.
Her husband was a painter.
He died while painting a building and fell off the second floor.
I've sent you the FIR, death certificate and insurance claim copies.
She has been missing since the day she claimed the insurance money.
If I get any further information, I shall call you and update, sir.
Uh-oh!
He is on to something.
His eyeballs are dancing!
He is closing his eyes now. Wonder what he's thinking.
Please let it not be another message to be faxed.
Sir...
my knees are killing me!
Mathivanan...
get me that Neeta case file.
Please.
Do it yourself and you'll know my pain! You jerk!
We'll find out from him.
Those three boys are the murderers, right?
It's Ganesan, right?
Guys...
you can see that the SI is torturing me.
So, please have some mercy on me.
If I give him this file,
you will get an answer within a few minutes.
So, move out of way!
Say something, Anu.
It's getting late.
What are you thinking so deeply?
Say something, Anu.
You know what happens if your dad misses a dose.
Kuzhandhai!
How are you?
-There he goes again. -It's been so long.
"The aforementioned person, Kumaresan,
"died not because of intoxication but due to lack of safety measures.
"Please help the deceased's wife, Savithri,
"to claim the insurance money, which rightfully belongs to her.
"Please consider this as my humble request.
"Yours sincerely,
"Kuzhandhai Yesu."
Dad...
Kuzhandhai.
Wake up!
That girl and Sandeep are missing.
What? They must be here somewhere. Move!
I searched the whole house.
Sandeep!
Hey! They are really missing!
