That night...
it was pouring rain.
The villain and his henchmen have buried you alive.
The villain is getting drunk,
revelling in confidence that he is the mightiest now.
Suddenly, a loud noise!
The villain turns back.
As he looks around,
someone strikes him hard on the head with a heavy rod!
Blood gushes out from the wound!
The glass in his hand falls in slow motion and shatters into pieces.
A reflection of a face appears on the broken glass piece.
And it is yours!
You stand there in murderous rage!
He turns around to check whose face it is.
He's stupefied, wondering how you escaped!
At the brink of that suspense, he drops dead, just like that!
A close-up shot of the iron rod in your hand.
Cut that shot...
and a close-up of your eyes.
A raging fire burns fiercely in your eyes!
The camera moves into that fire...
and you see the title, "The Rage of Fire continues",
then we show the director's name and 'The End', sir.
Only if you are okay with it...
Nice.
Thank you, sir.
But...
a minor...
correction.
Tell me, sir. We can make whatever changes you want.
They are burying me alive in the ground, right?
-Yes, sir. -After they bury me...
I rise up, ripping apart the earth!
Like Superman!
And with great vigour...
I beat the villain to death!
Aargh!
And I tear his head apart like this!
Like pulp coming out from a fruit...
blood splashing all over, from his eyes, ears and nose!
Awesome, sir!
Sir, look here!
I've got goosebumps!
Magnificent, isn't it?
After all, who cares about the director?
The audience only want to watch action heroes like me.
Do one thing.
Go and meet the producer I told you about.
Don't discuss the story with him.
Okay.
By the way, how's your dad?
He's good, sir.
Convey my regards.
Okay, sir. Thank you, sir.
[Movie running on TV]
[Gunshot]
'ADRISHYAM' [The Invisible]
[Phone rings]
-Hello. -Hello Nanda.
Purushothaman here.
I'm sure you've heard what happened.
Somewhat, sir.
I am trapped, Nanda.
My superiors have trapped me.
The situation is so bad, I can't even come back home.
Things are getting worse day by day.
I need your help.
Tell me, sir.
A girl is missing.
Where she is?
Who's behind all this?
I don't have answers to any of that.
With your influence in the department,
you can easily figure this out, right?
I am trying my best in my own way.
But I have some restrictions.
I can understand, sir.
Sir, can you provide me that girl's details?
A guy named Rajkumar will bring you all the details you require.
He is trustworthy.
You can keep him for assistance.
And one more thing...
I know I don't have to tell you specifically,
but keep this confidential.
[On TV] The Government only finds ways to harm its people!
This Government works against its people!
They pretend like they're helping the public
and then act like servants of corporate heads.
First, let me find out where that Purushothaman is!
The party is screwed up cos of that idol smuggling case.
I'll call you after talking to them.
Both the ruling and opposition parties are involved in this case.
Be seated!
Ask them to find out the missing idols.
Look here! My BP has shot up.
Are you listening?
All the ministers are involved in this idol smuggling.
We'll bring the evidence to prove it!
Look how they convince the public
by pinning the blame for their wrongdoings on us!
They think all of us in the ruling party are just buffoons.
Bloody hell!
They are responsible for this crime.
The CM must resign from his position.
-Thrimoorthi sir... -Wait a second...
Isn't it too early to talk about that now?
An investigation commission will be set up.
We will produce the evidence to prove our innocence.
Then the public will know who's actually responsible.
Let's demand an investigation commission then.
Listen to me!
Before the election announcement,
all of them must be behind bars.
Only then will we be safe.
Otherwise, all of us will be screwed!
Where's your guy?! Huh?
Is he meditating?!

Hey swami...
Isn't it wrong to beat up people during fasting?
Who punishes the sinners?
Swami (God) does.
-Who am I? -Swami (pilgrim).
Exactly!
Excuse me.
Who are you here to meet?
Nanda sir.
Please be seated.
Hello.
Sir, you've a visitor.
Tell me, my child.
-Daddy... -Yes.
A cat came to snatch the baby rat from mommy rat.
Hold on, sir. Who are you here to meet?
And what did the mommy rat do?
The mommy rat is searching for her baby rat.
-And then? Did she find the baby rat? -Here he comes!
Okay, sir. Coming.
Sir is calling you inside.
How long will you flip through the file?
Just help me find a way!
Yes, coming.
Rajkumar, sir.
Thank you.
Sethu...
What happened to your plans?
Tell me.
Contrary to what you said,
I don't think Purushothaman is behind all this.
He's a mere dummy.
The girl in that file is the key to everything.
But with regards to that girl,
we have no information about who she is or her whereabouts.
Sir, I couldn’t gather a lot of details about this girl.
He gave me the details of the area where this girl was living at
and asked me to enquire.
As per Purushothaman sir's information,
I asked around the street where that girl was supposedly staying.
But no one there has ever seen such a girl.
That girl is our target.
Purushothaman's business, smuggling, benami contacts,
this girl was behind everything.
Once she's caught, Purushothaman will automatically fall into our hands.
I think there are some big games being played behind this.
I couldn't collect much information
as Purushothaman sir wanted the investigation to be confidential.
I went and inquired at the house where this girl was apparently staying at
but that family is not cooperating at all.
Also, I've some conditions.
You've to make sure that this matter is not leaked.
Especially to the media.
Due to a personal concern, this case is very important to me.
So, until this case is cleared, keep all other cases aside.
-Okay? -Yes, sir.
Until this assignment is over, if anyone tries to get in my way...
I will not spare them!
-Swami Sharanam! -Swami Sharanam!
Hey Deepak, instead of searching for the missing girl,
all he does is temple hop and eat offerings!
Be careful when you talk! He will hear you!
And ask us to investigate which temple is offering what!
Shut up, man!
-No, thanks. -Hold it.
What's our next plan?
What were you thinking?
Me?! The next... plan...
If he is using this woman to conduct such a big deal,
either he must be closely related to her
or she must be aware of all his secrets.
For that...
we need to nab someone who's mutually connected to her and Purushothaman.
Right?
-Yes, Swami. -Yes.
Apparently, nobody in this area knows that girl.
Yes, sir, all of them are parroting the same thing.
Could it be fake news that the girl was staying here?
What we need is not news, but evidence!
If everyone's saying they don't know her...
there's something wrong.
Yes, Suresh.
Did you get the details?
I've sent it on WhatsApp.
Okay.
-Enquire properly. -Okay, Shalini.
Aren't you sitting idle here?! Can't you get the door?
I'm going, honey.
Heard that this girl used to live in this house. Do you know her?
Why is everyone coming here with that photo?
Like we have no other job?
Scram! Now!
C'mon. Leave now.
I said leave! Leave! Leav--
Come in, madam.
Look at them! Don't they look like real dimwits?!
How can I answer to them?
Damn irritating, madam!
Instead, if it was a dashing girl like you who came to question me,
there's some logic and kick in it. I can answer to you!
-Am I right? -Who's that?!
N... nothing! As usual!
That's my maid.
-As usual?! -You please carry on, my dear.
Don't you all have any other job?
How many times should we repeat it?
Do one thing. Paste her photo on our wall.
'This girl has nothing to do with us. Please stop bothering us about her.'
We will write a note like this beneath it!
Will that be enough?
Look at him!
What are you doing?
As soon as a girl comes, he's out here giggling, wearing his stupid wig!
I was just chit-chatting.
Damn your chit-chat!
-Hold this! Hold it! -You've embarrassed me!
Scram!
Come inside! I'll show you!
Don't dare come here again searching for any girl!
Okay. Call me back.
-HEY! -HEY!
Rajkumar! Catch them.
Rickshaw!
Don't let go of him.
-Hurry up! -He's going the other way!
Pavithra!
Pavithra...
-Let me go! -It's nothing... don't worry...
Let me go!
Come on.
Let me go!
Here, have this.
Eat.
Eat a little at least.
Sir, why have we come here?
Wait.
I'm here to see Purushothaman sir.
He's not here. What is the reason?
My name is Nandakumar. I wanted to speak to him about a project.
I was unable to contact him, which is why I came here in person.
I'll call my son. Please come in.
-Be seated. -Thank you.
Selva!
Someone's here to see Dad.
You know what I'm going to ask you.
Apparently, an auditor will know all the secrets of his client.
If you tell me who that girl is...
I will only cut off what you want.
Or else I'll cut off whatever I feel like!
Dad is away on an official trip.
Give me your number, sir. I will tell him when he calls.
This is my business card. You can contact me on this number.
Your dad would know.
What do you do?
I'm a film director.
I'm waiting to tell a story to a leading hero.
-Oh, nice! -Thank you!
Have some coffee.
I don't know who she is or where she is...
But she manages all the dealings.
Lots of greys! Don't you colour it?
We've only met each other two or three times.
That too... only to talk about the deal.
You want me to fix your moustache?
Each time, we met in a different area.
And it was always in a public place.
There is no way to contact her.
That's all I know, nothing else.
I swear I don't know!
You swear?
I swear!
Swami Sharanam!
Did we get any clue, sir?
I'll tell you.

Rajkumar?
What was your role in this idol smuggling case?
The incident happened while I was working in Kanchipuram.
I was suspended under grounds of suspicion.
I have given my explanation.
Will be joining back soon.
By the way, it wasn't idol smuggling.
It was idol swapping.
Oho, is smuggling and swapping two different things?
Hmph!
The Protector of the world needs protecting!
I swear we don't exchange any secrets!
Listen up, didn't Purushothaman and you go cycling together?
You better tell the truth!
Or you will sit here and blow this whole pile! Understood?
On our way from Vadapalani to ECR,
he changes his route somewhere in between.
I come back by myself and then we see each other only the week after.
We never discuss anything personal.
Looks like you'll die blowing today!
Sir...
The call history and data of the mobile number she used has been erased, sir.
Okay.
Sir, if we can find out the link between Purushothaman sir and that girl,
maybe we can get a lead.
Sir, we have checked Government records and social media,
there's no information about that girl anywhere.
What brings you here, sir?
We were in the area, so just dropped by.
Why?! Are we not welcome?
Nothing like that, sir. Please be seated.
-That's my wife. Should I call her? -No, no, it's okay!
Hey!
-I thought it's the washroom. -Scooby! Relax!
Just miss!
He would have bit my arm off!
Be seated, sir. Coffee or something to drink?
No, nothing.
You come with us. We need to go somewhere.
Sir, she's quite unwell.
We will be back soon.
Just two minutes.
What happened to your wife?
It's fine if you don't want to talk about it.
Hey, nothing like that!
Ours was a love marriage.
It wasn't long after our marriage...
she met with a bike accident near Vadapalani.
Brain injury...
The doctors said it was impossible to save her.
But somehow she fought and survived.
But...
since it was a head injury, she's mentally disturbed.
She cannot walk either.
Yes, David, tell me.
Sir, I'm at the spot.
Okay, wait right there.
How are you managing all this by yourself?
I'm used to it now.
Why don't you hire someone to help you out?
We tried a few people, but they won't take care of her as well as I do, right?
That's true.
No one else will go through all this trouble.
It's no trouble.
If it had happened to me, she would've done an even better job of taking care of me!

Shalini...
Lost in dreams, huh?
Come out.
-Confirmed? -Yes, sir.
Forum mall, Ten o'clock show.
Oh, my! Hot girl!!!
Switch on your video, honey!
Should I go first or you?
Me?
You naughty girl!
Yuck!
Who the hell are you?!
Hey! Let go, man!
Hey Maarimuthu! Instead of playing with your grandkids,
you wanna play with aunties, huh?!
Hey! Who are you guys?!
What do you think of yourselves? I can easily lock you guys up!
Oh, my mother!
Do you know who I am?
Why is the door open?
Didn't you lock up the house properly?
-Both of you go freshen up and sleep. -Okay, Mummy.
Who are you?! How did you break in?
Who are they? How did they get in?
How will I know?
Who are you, sir?
Come on, call the cops.
Quick! Call them!
-Hey, what! -Hello?
-Give back the phone. -Who are these people?
Who are you?
Tell me who are you guys? How did you get in?
What's happening here?
-What's this? -Dad!
-Let them go! -Dad...
Hey! Leave the kids!
Mom!
Who are you?!
The price for keeping one video of yours a secret
will cost you two of Puroshothaman's secrets.
Just don't tell me you don't know!
Or else your video will spread like wildfire!
He looks like a cop...
He has not said a word until now...
Why has he come to our house?
Okay, let's go.
Sir! Are you playing games?
You don't say anything, break into my house and just leave?
Tell me what it is, sir!
But you already said everything.
Me?!
I didn't say anything. What did I say?!
Purushothaman and a lady by the name of Stella--
Speak up, man!
Purushothaman had an affair with a woman called Stella.
He said they got married a few years back.
A few...
A few months back, I heard she passed away.
I don't know anything else.
Where did Stella live?
He said she lived in Anna Nagar.
I've never been.
Don't lie, sir.
Tell me before you leave.
Do you know what mesmerising means?
Huh? What's that?
You thought he was simply sitting in front of you?
Look at his eyes.
You have already said whatever you thought you shouldn't say!
Without you even knowing!
Me?!
I haven't said anything!
Tell me what I said!
You've told me everything I needed to know!
Huh, but I didn't say anything!
Listen up, I'm telling you guys!
This house I'm staying in isn't my house!
We have rented it.
I don't know who the previous tenants were.
It's only after we moved here we realised this house is haunted.
When we asked the houseowner, he said if you want to live happily,
tell everyone this is your own house.
Where does this houseowner live?
In Tiruvottriyur, his name is Kokki Kumar.
And a second secret?
We never met that often...
If he ever felt like eating non-veg, he would come and take me along.
He really loves beef!
Bro, is this what you call a secret?!
You will go viral today, man!
Look here!
-Tell me, dear. -Dad...
The mommy rat searched everywhere,
-Swami Sharanam! -but she did not find the baby rat.
-What did the mommy rat do then? -Wait, wait, man!
One last close-up photo!
Bye!
What did I tell you by looking into your eyes?
Please tell me, sir.
Or I feel like my head will blow up!
It's already blown up and stuck back together!
Stop it, man!
Please tell me, sir. Please!
You didn't say anything before.
But now you have.
Huh? Why are you confusing me, sir?
If anyone asks you if this is your house, tell them it is.
Even if it's the police.
So you're not the police?
When did I tell you I'm from the police?
So, why was I blabbering then?
Hold this.
Here you go.
This list has details of people by the name of Stella in our congregation.
-Thank you, Father. -God bless.
Yes, Swami. We've got it. We are coming.
Okay, Swami.
We should be searching for the other girl, not Maarimuthu's Stella! Makes no sense!
It's hard enough finding someone using a photo, let alone a name!
He just sits there listening to his daughter's rat story.
Swami must have some plan. And don't talk ill about the child.
If Swami finds out, he'll rip you apart.
That's not his daughter, but his late sister's daughter.
He looks after her like his own daughter.
Remember that.
What's up?
This is a list of women over the age of 40-45 named Stella.
And this is a list of women named Stella who have died in the last five years.
We have already inquired about half these people.
Inquire about everyone on this list.
I'll show you, man!
I am old enough to be a watchman,
not hang over buildings like Spiderman!
Who's that now?
Oh, no! Here they come!
These guys just keep me up in the air!
-Hey! Who are you, man?! -God of death!
-What are you doing? -I'm cutting the rope, can't you see?
Look another one!
-What?! -Cut it.
The rope?!
Don't dare touch that rope!
Listen up, if you cut and I fall,
you won't get any information from me.
Then, tell the truth.
I will, sir.
Do I even look like a house owner?
I don't even look like a servant in that house!
The real owner of that house is in Europe.
He mistook me for a bigshot rowdy and left me the house to look after it.
That prick, George is the reason behind all this!
Hey, cut the rope!
No! No! Don't cut the rope! I'll tell you everything.
I was the one who gave her the house, sir.
She stayed there for four months.
She used to pay the rent on time.
I don't know what happened or where she disappeared off to after that.
So many people have come in search of her.
Since I didn't have the money to pay back her advance,
I kept pretending like I didn't know her.
That's all I know, sir.
Son, please don't cut the rope and make me fall.
Who else was staying with her?
They have no plans to leave me alone!
Tell me, man!
A nurse used to frequently visit her.
What? A nurse?!
Who else should visit a pregnant woman if not a nurse? Nayantara?!
Who are you, ma'am?
No common sense at all!
Pregnant?!
What's so hard to understand?
And what about that girl's husband?
I have no clue, sir.
I heard that her husband was hospitalised after an accident.
Sir, please tell him to stop cutting the rope.
Hey, cut the rope.
Oh, no!
What a scorching hot day!
A chilled beer would be amazing right now!
Why did Swami ask us to come here and inquire?
Ring the bell.
Who are these subscribers?
Who are you?
He's that YouTuber Swaminathan.
That guy?!
Did Purushothaman sir tell you that the girl was pregnant?
Perhaps Purushothaman sir himself did not know about it.
Eh?!
-Who are these guys? -What's he doing here?
Swami?
Why is a pilgrim coming out of that empty house?!
Who are you all, Swami?
We're relatives.
Where is the girl who was living here?
Aren't you her relatives? Then why ask me?
Do you know this man?
Of course! If I know her, I'll know her father too, right?
Her father?!
Father?!
She is my daughter from an extra marital relationship.
At this age, if such a story about me comes out to the public,
you know how scandalous that would be.
-Did you know? -N... No, sir.
He didn't tell me anything.
I didn't know about this.
Swami, you come, questioned me and now you're just leaving?!
How are you a relative? Are you from that man's family or the lady's family?
Tell me and go.
It's alright, Swami. That look says it all. Please go.
Did you know that she was pregnant?
Rajkumar?!
N... No, sir. He usually calls me.
Sir, can you please stop the jeep? My wife is not well. I need to go home.
Now?!
She's really sick, sir.
Please drop me here. I'll be back soon.
We need to contact Purushothaman sir urgently.
You come with us.
Sir, please stop the jeep.
Listen, there are some words like commitment, dedication etc.
It will be good to know what they mean!
Sir, it will be good if you know what wife, family etc. means as well!
Rajkumar!
Sir, stop the jeep!
I said, stop the jeep!
I'll decide if I should stop the jeep or not!
-STOP THE JEEP! -Rajkumar, please!
-Rajkumar... -Stop the jeep!
I won't! Take your hands off!
-Stop! I need to-- -Rajkumar!
-No! Stop! -Move your hands, sir.
-Stop! -Hey!
-Step aside, Shalini! -Is he insane?
-You! -Hey!
Stop!
-Hey! -Auto...
To Guindy, brother.
Sir...
Didn't Maarimuthu say that Stella lived in Anna Nagar?
Then, how did Swami get here?
Purushothaman lied that Stella was in Anna Nagar.
He cycles from Vadapalani to ECR along with Michael
and avoids him only in one particular area.
In this list, all Stellas have their husbands' names next to theirs.
Except for this Stella, who only has her father's name.
Daughter of Lourdes Periyaswami. Even the address matches.
Swami,
I can give you some additional information.
But in return, will you subscribe to my channel and hit the bell icon?
Someone else had come searching for her.
Where are you taking me?
What did I tell you? To hit the bell icon, right?
Why are you hitting me instead?
Hey, Pavithra!
Shalini!
Doctors, nurses, housekeeping staff and security, don't miss out anyone.
Check all the hospitals in this area.
We need more information, okay?
-Okay. -Alright.
A woman named Karthika...
Need some details about this girl. Can you check and tell me?
There's no one with that name here.
Have you seen her?
I have never seen her, sir.
No, I haven't seen her.
No, there is no one like her here.
-Yes, madam? -Do you know this woman?
We checked all the hospitals in this area.
-Couldn't get any clue, Shalini. -Okay.
-You don't have to keep calling like this. -Dear...
-I'll call you if there's anything. -Don't run, my dear.
I said don't run.
-Have one more. -Daddy!
Daddy's little angel!
Sethu, look, she's not eating anything.
-Are you fighting with granny? -She is so stubborn nowadays.
You only feed her.
Will you eat some rice?
Rice and sambar!
Daddy will...
feed you!
Let's sit there and eat. Come.
Give me a kiss.
-Mwah! -Mwah!
I'll tell you the mommy rat's story, okay?
Shall we eat?
Daddy... Daddy...
While searching for that baby rat...
that mommy rat went to another rat.
Did she?
-Then, that rat said... -Eat this!
Hello Swami...
-Did he spill anything? -No, Swami.
He is not saying who came.
Why?
Now he's doing a food vlog while eating biriyani.
-Aha! -What shall we do now, Swami?
Do one thing.
Take his YouTube channel,
and like, share and hit every button possible, okay?
What the f--
-Pardon me, God! -Sorry, Swami.
Either he should spit out the information we need,
or the biriyani he just ate! Do you get me?
Have you seen this girl around here?
Yes, I have.
She used to visit Dr. Chandrika.
-Yes, madam. -I want to meet Dr. Chandrika.
Now she must be at her private clinic.
Okay. Can I have her number?
I can give you the clinic number.
Okay. Give me.
Here you go, madam.
Okay, thank you.
The girl has met Dr. Chandrika, at CMAX Hospital several times.
When I contacted the clinic, I was told the doctor is in her house now.
Her house is in Anna Nagar. Shall I go there?
No.
No movements until I come.
Okay, sir.
-Hello. -Rajkumar...
We've got an important information about Karthika.
Shalini...
I have sent you an address. Come there immediately.
Shalini...
My wife is sick.
I can't come.
Rajkumar, please!
Don't disturb me, please.
I'll convince Nanda sir.
David, I've reached here.
I've sent you the location.
-Come soon. -Okay.
Sorry, sir. I asked him to come here.
The doctor's house is in Tambaram.
This is her rest house.
She comes here to relax during her free time.
Come.
-Doctor... -Go, check inside.
Any of these guys?
This guy?
No.
Gobble all this up, man!
Stuff these chicken legs too!
Will feed you to death today!
Eat it.
There's no one here, sir.
Check if there is any evidence or clue.
I can't do this challenge anymore.
That's it!
-I'll tell you. -Yes, tell me.
That guy who came that day...
was of olive complexion, he was tall.
He looked like a policeman.
I asked him if he was a policeman, but he said no.
I told him ten things and he barely said one word in return.
He kept looking at me closely!
I felt shy.
That's all. Now you see to it.
What?
Nothing, sir.
There should be no evidence of us coming here, okay?
If my suspicion is right, Nanda sir is not finding evidence,
but using us to destroy evidence.
-Tell me. -Swami...
We showed him photos of Purushothaman's family and friends.
But he is saying it's none of them.
Swaminathan said that although he looked like a policeman,
he was not a policeman.
-Clear all the evidence. -Okay, sir.
-Including CCTV footage. -Yes, sir.
Due to a personal concern, this case is very important to me.
So, until this case is cleared, keep all other cases on hold.
Madam, wait a second.
Someone had come a while back.
And asked about this girl and Chandrika madam.
When I contacted the clinic, I was told the doctor is in her house now.
-Shall I go there? -No.
No movements until I come.
And what about that girl's husband?
I have no clue, sir.
I heard that her husband was hospitalised after some accident.
Sister, my husband...
I got a call that he is in the ICU after an accident.
Wait a minute.
Vinu...
Hello! Hello ma'am!
Sister! Sister! My husband is inside...
-Wait, wait...you can't come inside. -I want to see him.
-Please let me in. -Who?!
My husband.
-Be calm. -My husband is inside.
-Nobody can enter. -Please let me go in.
You please wait. Dr. Chandrika will come and you can see.
Where are you going? You can't go there. Please understand.
I want to see the doctor.
-Any better option? -Stop, stop!
Doctor, what happened to my husband?
-What is this, sister? -Sorry, madam.
That accident case, she didn't listen. Just came inside.
Doctor, what happened to him? They are not even allowing me to see him.
-Please tell them to allow me inside. -You first come outside, I will tell you.
-At least tell me how he is. -Come.
-Please doctor, please. -Don't cry like this.
Nobody else came with you?
No doctor, I don't know anybody here.
Please, you have to save my husband.
Okay, we'll try. First, you sit here.
-Doctor, my husband... -Sit here.
Whatever I am going to say, hear it patiently.
Your husband has been seriously injured in the head.
And he is still bleeding.
We've done whatever we could.
But for further treatment, it will be costly here.
The sooner you transfer him, the better it will be.
-Sister... -Don't say that, doctor...
Please, ma'am. You have to save my husband, ma'am.
-Please, I beg you... -Hey!
We have no one else, doctor!
-Please, doctor! -Okay, okay. I can understand your problem.
Normally there are so many formalities to even admit cases like these.
But it's only cos his condition is critical, I got him admitted to the ICU.
I don't have the rights to continue further treatment.
Take him to another hospital at the earliest.
Oh, no! Doctor!
Chechi...
You heard what the doctor said, right?
Call your relatives immediately.
Sister, ours was a love marriage...
against the wishes of our family.
If they get to know where we are,
they will kill us.
-What do you say?-- -Sir...
Really sorry, sir.
It's okay.
What happened, doctor?
Her husband is admitted in our hospital.
Road accident, condition is very critical.
Poor girl. She has no one else.
We can help, doctor.
Come with me.
Listen.
Stop crying.
We can save your husband.
You saw the man in my cabin?
He has agreed to help you.
Thanks, madam.
We won't ever forget this favour!
We will somehow pay back his debt.
Hey, that is not needed.
But...
They will bear the expenses of your husband's treatment,
no matter how much it costs.
You should do a small favour for them in return.
The thing is, they have been married for 15 years.
But they don't have a child yet.
They have tried several treatments. But no use.
His wife doesn't have the capacity to carry a child.
They are getting trolled in the society for this.
Despite having name & fame,
he is very upset because of this.
Um... that's when...
they started thinking about the possibility of surrogacy.
But they couldn't find anyone who aligns with their terms.
Now after seeing you,
they are asking whether you can do it.
Doctor, what are you saying?!
Doctor, how can I?
We have just begun our life together.
Doctor, please. I can talk to him.
Sister, what is this?
Can't she understand?
Help us, doctor. Please...
Hey, I can't save your husband just because you are begging.
They have come, Godsend, saying they will help you,
and you say no.
See, this is not something that doesn't happen in the world.
Anybody else would have snatched this opportunity immediately.
Look,
he is offering you a whole life.
In return, you need to work for ten months.
That's it.
-Got it? -Madam...
Tell me if you are ready.
-Make her understand. -Okay, ma'am.
How can I, chechi?
I don't see any other options for you to save your husband's life.
Don't waste time thinking too much about it.
His condition is getting critical as time passes.
He has offered to take care of all your needs.
So, first, you save him.
We shall deal with the consequences later.
Don't worry about anything.
We can save him.
Keep your hand like this.

Especially your husband. I'll take care of him well.
Everyone should think that this child was born to Guru Prasad and his wife.
Madam herself is not coming outside of her house.
You should also do the same. Leave.
You go now.
Go.
What happened, doctor?
Karthika's husband is conscious.
He repeatedly asks to see his wife.
What should we do?
Doctor...
Until this child is born, he should not see that girl.
Arrange a place for him, where he won't be able to create any problem for us.

What happened, doctor?
Any problem?
Why are you avoiding my calls?
Nothing. Come. I will tell you.
What happened, doctor? You are awfully silent.
That...
I don't know how to say this.
Hey!
Guru Sir and madam had some big issues between them.
They decided to get a divorce.
-Madam... -I've applied for divorce.
When I asked about you...
See, doctor...
I don't even have a wife now. Then why a child?.
Give something and settle it.
They are saying they don't want this baby anymore.
What will I do now?
I...
I also don't have any idea.
How is my husband?
I want to see him.
You go home now.
Tomorrow, I'll take you to him.
No, I want to see him immediately!
I have to see him now!
Karthika, I have one more surgery today.
I will take you to see him tomorrow for sure.
Yes, doctor...
Make her understand.
-Sent her home for now. -Okay, doctor.
Go, dear.
-Come. -Go.
Come, dear.
You knew everything about me.
At least, you should have informed me.
Forgive me, dear.
-You destroyed my life! -Doctor and Guru Prasad...
were cheating you.
The baby growing in your womb is not Guru Prasad's.
It is someone else's child.
His wife came to know about this.
They broke up because of this.
I didn't tell you any of this, because I was scared.
Your husband is not under any treatment now.
They have transferred him to some unknown place
so that he won't create any issue for them.
You contact some press or media,
only then can you find him.
-Where's the doctor? -She is upstairs.
Okay, I'll take care.
Shift him immediately.
Hey, Karthika...
So, all of you were cheating me?!
I agreed to do this because I trusted you!
Karthika!
Tell me the truth!
Is he still alive
or did you kill him?!
TELL ME!
You are also a woman, right?
I did everything you said to live a happy life with him.
We had so many dreams about our life together!
You wrecked it all.
Karthika...
I want to see my husband right now!
Otherwise,
I will go to the media and reveal everything!
Hey... Karthika!
Please, listen to me once.
I told you I will take you to your husband.
Right now!
Otherwise, you know what I'll do...
I have nothing to lose!
Okay. Okay.
You wait outside. I will come now.
Wait at the bus stop.
Go!
Sir, that girl came to the hospital
and is adamant on seeing her husband.
I can't manage anymore.
Take that girl and come straight to my guest house.
Okay, I'm coming.
Get in.
After that, I stopped working in that hospital.
I don't know what happened after that...
I have never seen her again.
I am ready to admit this truth anywhere.
Admitting won't correct the mistakes you've committed.
So, leave that.
See...
don't tell anyone else about this.
Hello?
-Swami, it was Rajkumar, the suspended SI, who came searching for that girl.
Yeah, David.
Sir, I've forwarded Dr. Chandrika's call history to you.
She has made frequent calls to a mental asylum in Ambattur.
Okay.
[On TV] Regarding Dr. Chandrika's suicide,
her family commented that there is no chance of her committing suicide,
and that the CCTV footage of her house gone missing seems suspicious...
-Hello? -Rajkumar, I've something to say.
Okay.
-What happened? -Nothing.
Give me that jammer.
We must not let go of any doubt that arises in our minds.
You think he's eliminating the evidence, right?
But that's not what I think.
I doubt if he is actually her husband!
-Hello? -Sir...
I have sent the server details you asked for.
Okay.
His wife died in an accident.
Come here.
But till now, none of us have seen her photo or know any detail about her.
That raised my suspicion.
When you connect all these things....
I find him mysterious.
Shalini....
One afternoon, a woman came and created havoc over there.
That doctor was also there with her.
What's up, doctor? How are you?
Hey, how are you, dear?
Did the doctor explain everything?
Nothing to worry about!
No problems at all! I'm here, right?
I'll take care of everything, dear!
Where's my husband?
I need to see him right away!
You can see him!
Your husband is all okay.
Would it be good if he sees you up the duff like this?
Hardly four or five months left!
Deliver the baby and leave it in some orphanage.
After that, you both can live a happy life.
Don't lecture me about how I should live my life.
I want to see my husband right now!
I don't want to listen to anything else!
Why are you screaming? Huh?
You do as I say!
Got it?
I listened to your words all this while.
You think you can do anything because you have the money?
If my husband doesn't come here now...
I'll make sure the public knows what kind of a person you are!
-Karthika! -You're talking too much! Stop!
Hey! Karthika!
Sir! Let go of her!
Please, sir!
Blackmailing me with the press and media?
Sir! Leave her, sir!
You won't listen to me, huh?!
She's acting up too much!
Can I let go of my bigger plans for this small issue?
Sir, please. It's okay. Come, sir.
Sir, she's pregnant!
Was it for free?
You are right!
But now you let go of her.
She agreed to everything to save her husband, right?
Yes, sir.
You told you had settled her. Then what's this?
I had settled her, sir!
Sir! Leave her. I'll make her understand.
What are you gonna say, huh?!
You said there won't be any problems because of her!
How'd I know that you both would get separated and not want a baby anymore?
Come, make her understand!
Move aside! Go!
Karthika... Karthika...
Karthika...
Karthi--
Why did you do this, sir?
-Karthika? -What happened, doctor?
-See to her and do what's necessary. -Do what's necessary, my foot!
Everything's over! What do I do now?
Did anyone see you when you came here with her?
No...
- Hello? - Hello, sir...
How are you? It's been quite a while since we talked.
I'm fine.
What a surprise?
You called me!
How are you, sir?
I'm good, sir.
You said your son had written a script, sir?
Didn't he ask if I would act in it?
Is that script... Is it ready?
It's all ready, sir.
If you say, I'll ask him to meet you right away.
No, no, no. Not now, sir.
I thought of giving him some dates soon. So...
...thought of conveying this to you.
I never expected that you'd call and tell me this, sir!
-Thank you. -That's okay.
But one more thing...
Tell me whatever it is, sir.
My housemaid... she stole something from here...
I thought of enquiring and raised my hand on her.
She slipped, fell and passed away.
If you can settle this issue without any problems...
It'd be good, if you can take care of this...
Hello... Sir...
Any problem?
I've hardly three months left for my retirement.
I am already accused in the idol smuggling case.
That's what I'm thinking.
Oh... So... You can't...?
Alright, let me see.
Sure, thank you! Thank you, sir!
Ask your son to call me, sir. I'll help him.
-Okay. Sure. -Thank you!
Her husband...
Madam?
We can't really keep him there.
Neither can we let him go out.
Understood?
That night Kashi and his henchmen came
and took that girl away in a car.
But I don't know what happened after that, sir.
I stopped working there.
-Tell me! -Sir...
Sir... Please spare me, sir...
I don't know, sir...
I just followed DSP Purushothaman's instructions, sir!
There's a small assignment.
Someone close to us is trapped in a problem.
Send your boys and deal with it tactfully.
Do not leave any evidence.
Hello...
What?!
[On TV] Famous South Indian film star Guru Prasad was murdered.
The body was found shot dead at his residence in Neelankarai, Chennai.
Police has found the gun used in the murder near the corpse.
When did you come, sir?
What's happening?
Why didn't you inform me?
Didn't I tell you about my arrival a week ago?
Rajkumar said that you have found my daughter.
I arrived here last night.
And now, I'm getting arrested for Guru Prasad's murder!
-Sir? -Go to this place.
Okay, sir.
Scooby... relax!
Hey, wake up!
Open your eyes!
Who are you?
Aren't you Nanda sir?
Yeah. Who are you?
-Where is Rajkumar? -Sir...
I'm Rajkumar, sir!
The man you came looking for locked me in here
and was playing a game in front of you.
As per Purushothaman sir's order, I was coming to meet you with this file.
That's when he kidnapped me.
This is the missing daughter of Purushothaman sir.
-That's my wife. Should I wake her? -It's okay.
Brother, one bottle of water, please.
Hello...

When something bad happens in our life unexpectedly,
we call it, accidents.
One such accident ruined my entire life.
My husband?
-Please let me go inside? -Who?!
My husband!
What happened to my husband?
Shall we help her, doctor?
You should do a small favour for them in return.
Karthika's husband is conscious.
Until this child is born, he should not see that girl at all.
Hello.
When I opened my eyes after that,
I was in a mental asylum.
Why are you screaming?!
Why have you tied me up?
I'll finish you off!
I had to escape from there and be with her as soon as possible.
-Everyone will know! -Karthika!
You're talking too much! Stop!
Hey! Don't scream!
-Tell me, madam. -Murugan...
We can't really keep him there.
Neither can we let him go out.
-Understood? -Okay, madam.
I'll see to it.
Hey!
Leave me!
Hey! Stop there!
I went to our house, but she wasn't there.
After you met with the accident,
she left to Vadapalani, saying that she got a house there.
I tried calling her several times after that, but couldn't connect.
My daughter's house at Guindy is unoccupied.
I'll give you the key, you may stay there if you wish to.
Wait, let me get you the key.
Karthika,
the name that keeps me alive.
I was her whole world.
And now, she is not with me.
She wasn't there in the house where we started our life together.
I don't even know where she is now.
I got to know that Karthika didn't go to our hometown either.
Man... I don't know!
I met with an accident.
And I haven't seen her after that.
You lodge a complaint at the police station there.
I have nobody other than her, sir.
Please help to find her fast, sir!
Finish this off fast. Bye.
Isn't this case solved yet?
We're still searching, sir.
How many more days?
Son, you get going.
Hey, loser! Why don't you answer your phone?
What's the matter? Tell me.
Remember the assignment we did for DSP Purushothaman?
Remember Gangai Amman temple street?
A guy is at the police station, holding that girl's photo.
Catch him!
I got a lead from him, the name of a place!
Gangai Amman street!
No one there knew her.
Why are you carrying this girl's photo? Do you know her?
-Do you know her? -Yeah, she used to live in this street.
-Where? -The one with the blue colour gate.
Hold tight!
-Sir... -Hey! What do you want?
They say she used to live in this house. Do you know her, sir?
You already came here once, right? I don't know her. Now leave.
Please sir, try to remember...
I said I don't know her! Now, leave!
Please try to remember if you've seen her, sir.
Hey! Are you insane?
Why are you repeating the same question?
You better leave. Or I'll call the police.
Move aside.
This is their only job!
Then I started chasing that name.
Remember the assignment we did for DSP Purushothaman?
DSP Purushothaman!
I began to inquire who he was and how he was connected to this.
Get out! I'll take legal action!
Once we capture that girl
-Purushothaman will automatically come. -Rascals!
Who are you?
-I want to meet Purushothaman sir. -Which Purushothaman?!
This is an important auditor's office.
You need an appointment to come here!
Get out of here! Out!
Get out! Now!
Nonsense!
I feel bad seeing you like this, brother.
Even Purushothaman sir's family doesn't know where he is.
How would a mere driver like me know then?
Just now, two guys came looking for his daughter.
See. Those guys.
In all the places I went looking for,
I noticed that those two guys were already looking for Purushothaman.
I also noticed a red Polo car always following them.
That was what opened up a way to get to Purushothaman.
-Who's this? -I wanna meet Purushothaman sir.
There's no such person here.
I want to find out where my wife is, please madam.
Everyone says that Purushothaman sir knows about it.
Who are you? Get out! Or should I call the police?
-Get out! -Please, madam.
-Security... -Please.
-I just want to find my wife. -Can't you understand?
-Better leave from here! -Please don't misunderstand.
Who are you?!
How can you barge in like this? Get out!
I don't know anyone.
-Please listen to me. -Get out before I call the police!
-Please madam, my wife is missing. -Better get out!
Sir knows about it.
Stop talking and just leave!
Please madam.
Are you leaving or not?!
Leave!
Purushothaman's daughter...
Pavithra!
I was sure that if she goes missing, he would come searching for her.
Who are you?
What do you want?
You better release me!
You won't get any information from me.
I want my wife back.
Only your dad knows where she is.
Till then, you will never get out of this place!
Till then, it's your decision if you want to be a guest here or a captive.
Later her house and surroundings came under my surveillance.
No!
Who are you?
I see you often here!
Loitering around an empty house?
What's the matter?
Are you a cop?
No.
Finally, someone came searching for her.
SI Rajkumar!
That girl is Purushothaman sir's daughter.
She deals his businesses.
As he was unable to reach her for a few days,
he send me to search for her.
And when he realised that she is missing,
he asked me to pass the file about her to detective Nanda.
-Tell me, sir.-Rajkumar...
I have discussed the matter with Nanda.
If he asks any further details, just tell him you don't know.
If he realises the truth, he may turn against us.
Understood?
Okay, sir.
I disguised myself as SI Rajkumar.
And through Nanda, I got closer to my Karthika.
Was there anybody else with that girl?
A nurse used to visit her frequently.
Nurse?!
Who else should visit a pregnant woman if not a nurse? Nayantara?!
Excuse me, have you seen this girl anywhere?
No, sir.
Have you seen her before?
No, sir, never.
Have you seen her before?
Yes, I have, sir.
Why are you standing here? Who are you waiting for
Where is Chandrika madam?
She'd be at the operation theatre.
She used to frequently visit Dr Chandrika.
Alright.
Excuse me, I want to meet Dr Chandrika.
-Who? -Dr. Chandrika.
She's already left to her house.
You'll have to take an appointment tomorrow.
I did everything to save your life too.
But...
Honestly, I didn't expect any of this to happen!
Please...
Don't harm me...
She too would've pleaded the same way...
Didn't you force her do everything by tormenting her about my condition?
And finally, didn't you enjoy watching him kill her?
No matter how much you justify it, I won't forgive you!
Several hundred fans and colleagues of Guru Prasad
have flocked to his residence in Neelankarai,
after learning about his death.
Police have found that the gun used to kill Guru Prasad
belonged to former DSP, Purushothaman.
Purushothaman has been arrested and is currently being questioned.
According to relatives, Guru Prasad was living alone in his house
after a quarrel with his wife.
The body was first discovered by a servant who came for work in the morning.
Let's find out more information about Guru Prasad's murder from the CI.
Sir, how is the current inquiry progressing?
The initial inquiries suggest that Guru Prasad was murdered.
The involvement of Purushothaman in this case,
can be confirmed only after the inquest.
He was fooling us, sir!
We can't just let him go, sir!
I had no other choice.
Sorry.
See sir, he's trying to prove that he's mentally unstable.
Do something about him, sir!
Don't you still get it?
He implied that we can't do anything to him, without saying it!
