02x05 - Haunting Truth

[bunniefuu]

Are you sure, sir?

Do you need to go to Rudhiranda?

Yes.

Why?

Well, it's just that celebrities like you
can get whatever you want here.

Why do you need to go that far?

That is none of your business.

Can you take us there or not?

I can take you there.
It's not an issue at all.

I am just wondering why we should
take such a big risk.

What do you mean by risk? I don't get you.

Firstly, it's ill*gal to even go there.

You do know that, right?

-We know.
-It's okay if you just go there,

have fun and return.

But if you were to
do anything beyond that…

Why? What will they do?

Sir, they have g*ns!

-Will they sh**t us?
-Yes, sir!

Sir, I am telling you that
the entire place is under their control.

Even the police cannot enter.

In fact, even I cannot do anything.

There are good places here
to have a good time.

Moreover, there's no risk involved.

So, are you up for it?

I have to go to Rudhiranda.

When can we go?

What's with you, sir?
I'm insisting this much.

It'll cost you $20,000 each.

But I have to tell you that
those who have been there

said that they get
everything there at night,

including girls, alcohol, and drugs, sir.

The rate is okay.

Check with them and let us know.

All right, sir.

I'll ask them
and confirm it to Mr. Dhilip.

Brother…

Look here.

It's better for us to just do
what we came here to do, brother.

Why invite unnecessary trouble?
Don't look at anything else.

All right?

Hey! There are men
in the control room too. Don't forget.

All right, sir.

Hey! Who allowed you in here?

No, sir. The boss…

I don't know anything.

-Serve quickly and get out!
-All right, sir.

-Here you go.
-Okay.

Here you go, sir.

-Get going, man!
-Okay.

What happened, son?

What did they say?

They have caught the guy who beat me up.

Oh, have they caught him?

But we don't know who hired him to do it.

We are so anxious
every time you go out, son.

Mom, I am going out with security in tow.

What more can I do?

Do you like Aaryan?

What?

Do you still like him?

I like him, Dad.

But I am also scared.

You are well aware of
what happened previously.

The band shouldn't break up again
because of us, Dad.

Both of us are sure about that.

I understand that this is not the time
to talk about your marriage.

I know that.

We are not asking you
to get married right away.

We will only be at peace

if both of you tell us your decision.

Harshini is a good girl, son.

How much longer can she wait?

Only if you decide, can we…

I am not in a state
to decide anything, Mom.

Please don't talk about this anymore.

How many times do I have to tell you, Dad?

Observe carefully.

First, they will add these leaves
and grind them in a cement mixer

and stomp on it hard for an hour.

Thereafter, they will fill it in
this container and mix it really well.

They will add a few more chemicals
and mix them.

The measurements are
stated on the table itself.

This is the second station.

Next is our section.

Sit over there.

You saw it, didn't you?

After this,

they will bring whatever
they processed over here

and we will sift it
and send it to the next section.

This is how they keep coming here
every hour and take it away.

We have to keep mixing the entire day.

It will just keep coming.

All right?

The only thing is that we do it in small
quantities.

But what we do has to be done well.

This is Mr. Raana's order.

Do you understand?

Look here.

It's your first day.
So, it'll seem like there's a lot to do.

Over time, you will
get used to everything.

All right?

How many years has it been
since you came here?

I'm done.

Five years have passed.

Today is my last day.

I will be released tomorrow.

Why did you come here?

I was born in Tamil Nadu.

My uncle told me there was a job vacancy
at a shop in Malaysia.

I was roaming about idly in my hometown.

I had so many debts back home.

I got married
and came here five years prior.

I was in Malaysia for about 14 years.

Initially, I led a disciplined life
for about five to six years.

After that, I developed new habits.

I had new friends.

I spent more money than I earned.

Moreover, my wife was not with me, right?

My male mentality was such
that I chased after women and much more.

One day, I stole from the cash register.

The boss was indeed a gem of a man.

The thing was, he mentioned
the police and I panicked.

I didn't do anything on purpose.

I just didn't think.

I took the knife that was there…

I started to flee that day,

and reached here.

Only after I came here did I realize that

I could have just stayed there, in jail.

This is t*rture, son.

It's t*rture.

Hereafter,

only when I return to my hometown will
I know what the situation is like there.

But…

My wife will surely
be waiting for me, son.

I am very sure of that.

She is a very good woman, son.

It's just that…

I have no idea
if she is still alive or not.

Sir…

-Don't worry about anything.
-Okay.

The hardships you suffered all these years
are going to come to an end.

When you are released tomorrow,

your wife will be waiting for you
when you return to your hometown.

All right.

Go with hope.

-Shanmugam?
-Yes?

-Hold on.
-That's Mr. Nantha.

How is the work going?

It's going well, Sir!

So, Rangan?

-It looks like it's your last day here.
-Yes, Sir.

-Are you happy?
-I am elated, Sir.

As long as you're happy.

Apparently, there is someone new here.
Who is he?

What is your name?

Shiva.

Shiva…

You are the protector.

And you are the destroyer, right?

You need not protect anything here.

Nor do you need to destroy anything.

You just need to mix.

Do you understand?

All of you know that if I come here,
there's bound to be a reason.

Her name is Azhagi.

She is missing from here.

But she is still in Rudhiranda.

She is here!

We know that.

If anyone finds her,
you will be released immediately.

Just like Rangan.

Freedom!

All of you take a look once.

I'm sorry to say that we have
detected cancer cells yet again.

What do you mean, Doctor? How?

Previously, she had throat cancer.

It was a miracle that she survived.

Now, we have discovered
cancer cells in her thyroid gland.

She is at stage three now.

Sethu, now is the time
for you to be strong.

She has already overcome this once before.

If you are with her and are supportive…

I'm sure she will overcome this.

We can only start the treatment
by administering an injection.

It roughly costs…

I think you are aware of the cost.

The faster we commence, the better.

Bring it here.

How are you, sir?

Getting by.

How are you?

I am fine, sir.

You saw a man a while ago, right?

He is Nantha.

Okay.

He is Raana Sir's right-hand man.

No matter what the reason…

Do not become his enemy.

They are searching for a girl.

Who is she?

Someone who wants to
escape from this place.

A girl, among the many here,
who wants to lead a new life.

Okay.

She is pregnant, sir.

We have no idea where she is
or how she might be suffering.

They also caught her lover, sir.

Is he still alive?

They won't k*ll him so soon, sir.

Until he discloses where that girl is,

they will keep
torturing him little by little.

In that way,
my father is very fortunate, sir.

The moment he made a mistake,
they beheaded him.

Shanmugam…

Shanmugam…

When I think about the fact that
I couldn't do anything, sir…

I feel very dejected.

But one thing, sir.

Instead of getting caught by them,

that girl might as well die, sir.

Only God can save that girl
from these monsters!

Only God can save her!

MISSED CALL

HER VOICE IS WHAT INSTILLED
LOVE IN ME FOR THE FIRST TIME

"It was in her voice that I felt love
for the first time.

I called myself a fan.

But only for her.

She appeared like an angel before my eyes.

The moment she looked at me
and smiled was when I lost my footing.

Will I get up?

Will I fall?

I don't know.

She charmed me with music.

We came together…

A new dream with my poem."

"There… Three new friendships
were forged there.

Us.

I am confident
this new team will succeed."

The day the first song was composed.

Is love a delusion only for me?

The first poem I recited for her,
in her presence.

She didn't realize it.

Yet not even for a second,

did she disappear from my sight.

How could I ever say "no" to her?

We made Aaryan stay
without my father's knowledge.

She smiled.

I admired it.

An orphan…

I recalled it once again.

But I was in her home.

She was everywhere I turned.

She lived in my breath.

She stole the hearts of millions of fans.

I am also a fan, right?

Who is brave enough to profess his love?

Looking into her eyes…

I wonder when I will muster the courage
to profess my love.

Dear God…

Won't she understand it
without me having to tell her?

Show me some mercy.

My love…

Reveal it to her.

The moment she told me
she loved another man…

I died.

All that remains now is…

Just my body.

I realized it only today.

Apart from her, in this world…

There is another girl that I love a lot.

My Malini…

Forgive me.

No one caused my death.

No one is responsible for it.

This is my own decision.

The security plans change every day, sir.

Only those working that day will know

what the security
arrangements for that day are.

I think each letter
denotes a place, Dharma.

Yes, sir.

Earlier, I saw Nantha.

He came to my place too, sir.

They are searching in a frenzy.

We must be very careful, Dharma.

Azhagi shouldn't know about this matter.

-All right?
-All right, sir.

Hold on.
Earlier, the girl mentioned a code.

Yes, I remember it now.

What's wrong?

She did mention something like this, sir.

-Yes, it's open!
-Go ahead.

Come in.

You just taught me this morning.

I already forgot it.

It's okay.

I knew it was you.

I was looking out the window.

Have you eaten?

-We have eaten. What about you?
-Where is it?

-Sir, please give me the matchbox.
-I have not eaten yet.

-Why not?
-There was only one handful of rice left.

Moreover, I didn't know
if both of you had eaten.

It's after all a new place, right?

The food there won't be tasty.

I know that.

Are we little kids?

We eat whatever we get.

You are pregnant, so you must eat on time.

What is this, dear?

-Dharma?
-Yes, sir?

-Heat that porridge up.
-Okay.

How can I let you both watch
while I eat alone?

Why?

Are you afraid that your stomach will ache
if you we watch you eat, dear?

We won't watch you eat. All right?

Go and sit.

-Dharma, looks like someone is coming.
-What?

-Take Azhagi with you and hide.
-Okay, sir.

Be careful, dear.

Go and hide inside.

Be careful.

Who are you?

-What do you want?
-Greetings, brother.

Mr. Nantha said that we will be
released immediately if we find a girl.

That's why we came to check
if that girl is somewhere here and…

If she was here,
wouldn't we hand her over?

Exactly.

Go and search around your place.

If you find her, it's your luck.

If we find her, it's our luck then.
Am I right, Shiva?

That girl would definitely
not be near Mr. Raana.

She must be somewhere out here.

-That is why we are searching this area.
-We stay here.

We didn't see anyone.

You may go now.

-What is with these guys?
-Was Mr. Nantha even serious?

Probably…

Shall we search elsewhere?
Moreover, we have work tomorrow.

Shall we just return to our quarters?

It's burnt.

No, Shiva. I suddenly forgot about it
when this problem arose.

Are they gone?

They left…

-But the rice is gone too.
-What?

-Is it burnt?
-Yes.

In that case, all of us
will have to starve.

Aren't you hungry?

I am hungry.

But the food is gone.

Why bother talking about what's gone?

I'll go and check
if I can get anything out there.

You won't get anything here.

I have already searched.

Knowing that something like this
would happen…

Okay, I'll call you back.

What are we going to do next, Sir?

Give me some time.

I'll plan and update you.

What's with you, Vishal?
You didn't answer my calls

nor did anyone pick me up.

You said the meeting was at eight o'clock,
but no one is here.

It looks like you never went home.

Nagamalini's body was found

4,6 kilometers away from her apartment.

The stores in between…

CCTVs affixed to lamp posts and
all other possible surveillance cameras…

We retrieved CCTV footage from them.

Based on the tire marks
at the crime scene,

we have identified potential vehicles.

Eighteen officers have been reviewing
the visuals for the past four days

and only this morning,

they submitted a list
comprising of potential suspects.

After you went home,

we were
conducting investigations until morning.

Only now…

did everyone head home.

No matter which angle we looked at,

So what then?

Why don't you just go home?

I am not able to face the Chief!

It's frustrating that I can't face Aaryan!

You are able to hear all this
and go home and sleep peacefully.

But I can't.

Couldn't you get the visuals
from beyond 48 hours?

There was a total of 271 cameras.

Ten days prior to Nagamalini's death

to the minute that
you retrieved the visuals,

there would be about 40
to 50 cameras that don't loop and record.

Retrieve the visuals from those cameras.

Get your 18 officers
to go through those visuals.

Let's see if we get anything.

All right?

Yes…

Okay, let's go.

Where to?

I'll tell you.

Didn't you tell me that the landlord
of that private property is dead?

I met his daughter Emily.

-We have her statement too.
-Why are you being so defensive now?

You would have
filed page after page, right?

It must be one of those.

Listen, Emily must have been
about 8 or 9 years old then.

She doesn't know anything about
the tenancy agreement or the actual lease.

And she didn't identify Shiva either.

We had a sketch artist ready
since she said she remembered his face.

But she couldn't.

Do you know that sometimes we won't
directly get the answers that we expect?

But there would be childhood memories.

So, I was just merely talking to her.

Look, when Emily used to
follow her father around,

I asked her if she remembered
any of the people she might have seen,

primarily Tamils.

-There were two of them.
-Yes, there were two of them.

What's the big deal?

The uncle who had a food stall below
Emily's house…

Another uncle had
a drama school next to it.

Two men worked for the uncle
who owned the food stall.

They were not Indians.

She said they were about
30 or 40 years old.

Yes, she did say that.

But the uncle who ran the drama school
had many guys with him.

Yes, I know that. I asked if she had any
friends there but she claimed she hadn't.

Emily wasn't friends with anyone

but she fought with an eight-year-old
Tamil girl at the playground.

She only remembers that
her name is Archana.

This… She did not disclose this at all.

I asked her if she remembered
anything else and she denied it.

It was not a relationship
that was meant to be remembered.

Anyway, I asked to search
if the name Archana, spelt differently,

matches Shiva's address.

We have located her.

Does that mean you didn't sleep either?

You are driving, right?

I'll sleep in the car then.

Aaryan?

Aaryan…

-How are you?
-Yes, welcome, Mithran.

How are you?

My business is going well.

Where are your parents?

My parents have gone to the temple.

-They have gone with security in tow.
-Oh, that's good.

Tell me.

It's just that…

Previously, we discussed a lot of things.

We had a lot of plans.

But…

The investors have started questioning.

There would definitely be a…

I understand that there will be a delay.

But a rough timeline…

I need that, Aaryan.

-Did you speak to Harshini?
-I called her.

I called her about three or four times.

She didn't answer.

I understand.

But…

You know, from my perspective…

That is why.

I understand, Mithran.

Whatever it is, I can only update you
after I discuss it with my team, Mithran.

Moreover…

It is a bit difficult to work on songs
in this state of mind.

Currently, no one goes to the office.

For safety reasons.

Just so that we can stay home for a while.

And not think about anything else.

It will only be a maximum of
two to three weeks, Mithran.

Thereafter, we can start work. Okay?

Actually, I am
the one who should apologize.

You gave me a timeline, right?
If you want, take a month.

At the same time…

take care of Harshini too.

Whatever is happening now would
definitely have affected her immensely.

I wanted to inform you about this.

Arjun came to the office.

He proposed an idea to launch
a new label together with me.

It's not as if you don't know this.

He has not changed at all.

He is an opportunist.

Of course, I rejected his idea.

-Aaryan?
-Yes?

Sir, don't hang
the girl's clothes to dry here.

All right, sir.

Dear?

It's a bit hot. Be careful.

Are you good at writing poems?

I do write poems.

But I don't know if I write good poems.

Oh, please! He writes superb poems.

Sir, why don't you recite a poem?

Can you recite a poem to me
that you like very much?

A poem that I like a lot…

Now when you thought about it,
a poem would have dawned on you, right?

I am asking you to recite that.

Are you the life of the night?

Or are you the sunshine of the night?

You are the smell of the rain, my dear

Are you the language of poetry?

Or are you a poet's language?

You are the breath of life, my dear

Was this written for your girlfriend?

No…

I wrote it for my wife and daughter.

I wanted to describe
the love I had for both of them

without changing the lines, dear.

It's very beautiful.

-Can I ask you one thing?
-Yes, go ahead, dear.

Do you love your wife a lot…

or do you love your daughter a lot?

Dear, why are you asking him such things?

It's okay.

My wife taught me what love is, dear.

After she left me, my daughter…

She gave a new meaning
to living this life.

I don't know whether I love my wife
or my daughter more, dear.

But nothing in this world compares to the
love a father has for his daughter, dear.

Ask any father who has begotten a daughter
and he will tell you this.

I was everything to my father.

It has been eight years since I saw him.

I don't know what he did nor where he
searched for us after losing us.

The poor man.

How did you get here, Azhagi?

You will definitely get out of this place.

I will be responsible for that.

Sir!

Chandru will also come, right?

He will come, dear.
