Smile Man, The (2024)

[bunniefuu]

Five years later

Why didn't you come

to get your medical reports?

The thing is -

I reviewed your radiology report

Physically recovering well

But your case with Alzheimer's disease

(which is a neurodegenerative disease)

deteriorates for the worse

You have to get used to living with that

What does my situation look like now?

Maximum of one year

By then you will have lost all your memories

Even during this

year, your physical health is gradually improving

So if you spend your time in peace and comfort

You will have a chance to

to hold on to your memories for a little while

After a year

I'll be in good shape physically

But I will lose everything

Isn't it? - Whatever you do after that

Or thought about doing it, write it down and keep it

Your memories will start to fade gradually

"Uncle Chittapram, won't you save me?"

Your memories will slowly leave you

Chittaparam

You are a good police officer and have a successful life

So far your

Using your cases as a reference in your section

Surviving an accident

like this was a great opportunity.

Forget the old stuff

This Alzheimer's is a blessing

I have to stay alive, that's my duty.

You don't have any responsibilities. Okay, I'll go now.

Take it easy, don't overthink it, and relax.

I'll go now.

Maximum of one year

By then you'll have lost all your memories.

Story and direction

Shyam-Braven

Thank you very much

to the journalists, readers and writers for attending

To the guest of honor and senior police official Mr. Ganapathy Bala Murugan

Mr. Chittapram introduces his new book

Hello everyone

Special thanks

to everyone who attended the launch of this book

Now if you have any questions you can ask

Sir, this book

you've written is excellent, no question about it.

But why does it feel like it's only on one level?

Typically, serial K*llers

don't stop at one crime

The first offense

prompts them to commit the next offense

The next offense leads them to the third offense.

And so they continue to commit crimes

They become psychologically transformed and dehumanized

I didn't feel any sympathy

for them to write this book about them.

But this book seems to

seems to anger and provoke serial K*llers.

I apologize to the Society of Serial K*llers

Excuse me, sir, your health is not at its best.

right now, even the doctor is here.

So why did you choose to release

this book under these circumstances, sir?

Who said that? I'm fine.

I came here as Chittapram Nedumaran

From Darkness to Light

I'm still strong and energetic.

Why is the last chapter

in your book titled "The Smile Man" is empty?

Even the "Smile Man" was shot by your officer Venkatesh

So why only this chapter

Sir, are you suspicious of the way Officer Venkatesh ended the case?

Don't you trust your department, sir?

Tell us, sir?

Uncle Chittapram

Uncle, save me, Uncle.

... sir

Sir, do you really need these things?

I'm Officer Venkatesh's son

Son of Venkatesh? - Yes sir, my name is Aravind.

I have been transferred from Coimbatore city to the Special Criminal Investigation Unit

Welcome, Aravind.

Do you want me to give you a ride?

Well - sure.

Sir, are you going back to work again?

Does that sound like you?

No, sir, you said you were still active.

La Aravind

The day of the

the accident I realized that everything was over

At the concert I thought about

Writing my memoirs as a book, that's all.

I understand your situation very well.

Sir, everyone in the department knows that.

I visited your house two or three times

or three times and you looked tired.

Did you visit the house? - Yes, sir.

I want to ask you something.

What do you want to ask?

The day my father disappeared

the day my father disappeared, I was the only one who was with him.

From that day until now, no one knows where he is

The pain of loss is not as painful as the pain of not knowing what happened to him

What happened that day is something I can't forget.

Memories are painful

so painful that it's hard to talk about them.

When will you be able to

to talk about what happened that day, sir?

You'll get answers to your questions soon

I'll come down here.

Sir, let me drive you home.

I don't have to.

Some things I have to do.

Thank you. - Well, thank you, sir.

Today is my book launch party

Is the master here? - He hasn't arrived yet. Wait here.

Sir, don't do that.

They're trying to put us under investigation.

Excuse me.

What are you waiting for here, sir?

I've been transferred here.

I have to meet the officer in charge.

Go inside and check, sir.

Is he inside? - Yes - we said he just came out

They said he was busy

Who is this new guy?

I'll go and see

What are you doing here?

Sir, I didn't know where you were, so I came with someone.

So you can go

Sir

Welcome, Aravind. Have a seat.

Thank you, sir.

If you complete even 50% of what your father did, that's enough

Our branch will be the best in the region

Absolutely, sir - you can do what you want

You could have declined this transfer based on your situation

Sir, I'm not that important.

I asked for a transfer because of my village - good

You can start working today.

Are you ready? - Absolutely, sir. - Good luck.

Thank you sir - good

Is that you, sir? - Viraya, how are you?

I'm fine. Come inside, sir.

How's it going?

What do I do, sir? Spend time in vain.

Sit down, Mr. Coffee.

I'll make a cup of coffee - sit here

You have work to do - work? For me?

What are you saying, sir?

Sit down - our favorite job, of course

We know if we like the work or not only when the results show up.

Stay here

What is this, sir? - Sit down.

Veraya in your life

Professional Who Should Die?

Those who got away with it because of money or influence

I want details on four of them.

Four? I can give you details on forty

Take this

What is this, sir?

Nothing after you provide the details

You should follow the people in between

to see if someone is following them

Sir, what's this all about? - Just accept it as payment.

His name is Vinod Bhandari, sir.

He created a financial institution

a large financial institution that defrauded the poor out of millions of dollars.

And now he's living the high life.

His name is Ravi Chandran and he's a punk.

He abused and k*lled his daughter

He claimed she ran off with a guy.

He bribed the local police and closed the case

His name is Selvaraj.

Sir, an ill*gal liquor dealer.

His drinks have caused the deaths of more than forty people

And yet he still lives happily

His name is Sattieville, a school principal.

Misbehaves with children who come to learn

Because of his harassment, they had no choice but to die

Yes, sir.

Everyone says that, but it's not.

Everything is meticulously recorded in the logs

I've been thinking about investing

in cryptocurrencies but I don't know how to

You can do it, sir. I'll tell you how.

We meet all the time, don't we?

corpse

Hello - I'm from C3 Police

Another m*rder

at the hands of the Smile Man, sir.

What? - Yes, sir.

When? - We don't know, sir, but it's the same way.

In the same way? - Yes, sir.

The commissioner asked you to take the case.

Okay, I'll see. - Yes, sir.

Aravind

That means the body was placed at night.

They say it didn't happen

anything suspicious until the store closed at ten o'clock.

The body must have been transported by a vehicle

Check all

vehicles that have passed this road

Can a thousand vehicles be checked this way?

Even if it's a thousand vehicles that need to be checked

The m*rder didn't happen here. The body was moved here.

The face has been cut to look like it's smiling

But there is no bleeding at all

The victim was m*rder*d before the body was placed here and mutilated.

Youssef, what do you think?

The victim looks like a school principal

We need to find out if the motive is personal.

This can't be personal.

The body was placed in a public place

This means that

Crime is not just one crime

The case also appears to be

similar to a case that was closed five years ago.

The k*ller is trying to send a message

The question is what message

is he trying to convey, and to whom?

A decapitated body was found near

Kamarajan Street inside a garbage container

People are scared by its resemblance to a crime

the serial m*rder of the Smile Man five years ago.

The case was handed over to the

Special Criminal Investigations Unit for further investigations

This crime can't be related to the previous one.

But there is no connection at all

That k*ller was k*lled by your father back then.

Why are the murders coming back, sir?

Aravind does not raise unnecessary issues

Just focus on this case

The fact that this

crime is similar to the old one is an advantage for us.

We're going to get a lot of clues.

This will help us solve the case quickly

Let's use the old case to get new leads

This will lead us to the right person.

Hello? - Hello, sir. I'm Aravind.

Aravind? - Have you forgotten me, sir?

The last time we met was at your book launch party

I'm Officer Venkatesh's son

Yes, tell me

I'm guessing you've heard

about the m*rder that happened a couple of days ago

It's similar to a man's case.

The smile that you and my dad worked on

So I think it's

you better be a part of this case too.

If I'm going back to work

field I would need to consult with my doctor first

Well, thank you very much, sir.

Dr. I understand his condition very well.

But I don't know how many people will die after that

He doesn't need to join me in the investigation

Enough to offer his expertise

Sir, I'm saying his life is in danger.

But you're taking things too lightly.

We just need his experience, that's all, Doctor.

Chittabram if you want to

lose your memories in a month instead of a year

Go ahead and be a guest in my life

I feel like I've been selfish.

Sorry, sir.

But I just have one question, sir.

Is the recent case you

in your book about a serial k*ller?

Why is only her chapter empty?

Did you know this crime would be repeated?

That's not a question as a friend, it's a question as an officer.

Just a week after your book launch

There was a m*rder

in the same manner as five years ago

If you go public, the killings will continue

Sir

Sir, Chittapuram does not give him water.

Calm down. Everything will be fine.

Sir, please step outside.

I will help you

Chittapram - Dr. Didn't you say so yourself?

I have Alzheimer's

You said I have a year, how do I make use of it?

Aravind, I am also making this decision because I am selfish

I think this case will benefit me as well.

How are you, sir? - I'm fine.

I've always dreamed of working

with you on at least one case, sir.

I can't believe it. You're welcome.

Have you met with the team? - Yes sir - Good

You can follow this case

Sit down

What evidence? - Everything belongs to the victim, sir.

Has the forensic report arrived? - No, sir.

Footprints or something similar

Sir, the case was handed over

to us after being investigated by the local police.

So the information you asked for may be missing

Also, people started

traffic on the road from 6:30 a.m.

The person who k*lled the victim is still out there

Sir - Sir

Sir

Sir, what happened?

Are you okay? - Yes

What's this? Is he going to listen to music?

The evidence you asked for is missing

Also, people started

traffic on the road from 6:30 a.m.

What time did the witness see the body?

Fingerprints have been sent for analysis, sir.

Are the prints from the government dumpster? - Yes

We're reviewing CCTV footage, sir.

The person who k*lled

The victim put it in a public place and left

He didn't seem to care much about the cameras.

So how do we solve this puzzle? Tell me yourself.

I will find the answer

Sure sir - I will find the answer for sure sir.

Sir

Isn't that the information I gave you, sir?

I returned to the office today after five years

I felt happy and also very nervous

As I predicted, the first m*rder took place

Now his focus is on me.

Tell me, Viraya-sir.

The person I was chasing is dead, sir - I know.

Before the m*rder, was anyone watching him?

No, sir.

What is this, sir? How did this happen?

I'm scared, sir.

Don't be afraid of anything, Viraya.

Be careful with the other three - Yes, sir.

If you feel anything suspicious, don't stay there

Yes, sir.

Are dogs always here?

Did something happen to the body? - No, sir. It was covered.

Nothing seems strange

Moment

What

Are you eating this garbage?

Sir, what does it look like when you see me?

Did you eat this garbage the night before?

the night before

Why do you ask that, sir?

Someone came and gave me a biryani, sir.

About what time?

Just after everyone had gone to bed, sir.

I had a big appetite, sir.

He came on time and gave me the biryani, sir.

Then I kicked the dogs out.

and ate well on the side of the road, sir.

What did this person look like?

I couldn't get a good look at his face, sir.

Sir, do you know how big the chicken legs were?

The rice was like flowers. It was so delicious.

Just thinking about it makes me hungry, sir.

No matter how hard I try to think, I just remember that biryani.

Did anyone question him yesterday? - No, sir.

If he had been questioned, he might have remembered - biryani, sir?

That means the k*ller is a man.

Then we can catch him easily.

This is a copycat k*ller (kills in the manner of the previous k*ller)

Copycat k*ller?

What is a copycat k*ller?

I do not know

Sir, how can you be

sure someone else did it?

If I said it was the previous person.

you'd start digging through old files.

We need to look at this from a new perspective

Is it because this is a new k*ller?

This

It's him - but he's dead, isn't he?

Look closely, it's him.

Sir

I thought you weren't home

Didn't I tell you not to come home no matter what?

Get out of here now - I'm leaving now, sir.

I also followed these three and took pictures of them

Are you going to talk to them now?

I've seen you with them before.

First, delete those photos

And don't come to me again. Just do what I tell you.

Yes, sir. I apologize, sir.

When you gave me the money back then.

Didn't I tell you to leave now?

But your help was great for my brother's education, sir.

Thank you very much sir - are you stupid?

Thank you very much sir - Leave immediately - I will leave now sir

Go - Yes, sir

Thank you very much sir - I said left

I'm leaving now.

Cause of death is not this knife.

The victim was k*lled and continued to bleed to death

Then the throat was cut

Maybe the k*ller didn't want to leave anything behind

It could be

It may be a habit for him

k*lling Instrument - Possible, sir

Even a knife can do that.

In most homicides, there are visible wounds

We usually find evidence of the tools of the crime

But in this case, we didn't find anything

At least he doesn't seem to have cleaned anything

Dr. I need more details after your report

Is the k*ller skilled at k*lling without leaving clues?

As you say

He seems to have become an expert at it.

That means he's a dangerous k*ller who's hard to catch.

without guides

It will be easier for him to k*ll more

That's what I need to know

I'm sorry, what? - His confidence seems to be growing.

Thank you Dr. - Thank you

Did you come, Doctor?

Yes, sir.

I am Chittapram Nedumaran

Crime Detective

I came to get the autopsy report

I did not understand

This is the autopsy report

I just said sir.

All the details are in the file in your hand

You'll understand once you read it

Hello, I have an inquiry

about the fear of being k*lled in Coventry

In Kufai, four murders occurred in a similar manner in 2010

You can see it in these pictures

At that time, the k*ller would cut the throat, put a smile on the victim's face, and leave the body in a public dumpster

After four consecutive murders in this way, the crimes stopped for four months

Three consecutive murders were then brutally committed

All done on children as young as six years old

At the end of 2017, a team led by Officer Venkatesh managed to catch the k*ller

He was identified as a carpenter with a mental disorder

As he tried to flee, Officer Finkeldeich shot and k*lled him, ending the case

For five years afterward, there were no murders

Now there has been a m*rder in the same way

What does this mean? Is it a new person?

Did the police lie when they said they k*lled the serial k*ller?

The disappearance of Officer Finkeldeich after his retirement from the case remains an unsolved mystery

We have no idea who this k*ller is or what the police department is saying.

What are these people saying?

Are they comparing us to a m*rder*r?

How many lives were lost?

Is this the way the

the media is treating these souls?

No details about this case can be provided

to the media other than what we decide. Is that clear?

Excuse me, who are you?

"I'm the k*ller you're looking for, The Smile Guy.

Arrest me - who is this? Who let him in?

I'll check it out. Don't hit him. Don't hit him.

Stay away from him

Look, everybody, I'm the one who caught him. This is my case.

It's obvious just by looking at it that it's a limitation

Slowly, slowly

Sir - Sit down

Where are you from?

From Connor - What do you do?

k*lling

What is this? I'm the k*ller.

How many times have I told you that I am the k*ller?

Are you a cop?

Is this a prison? Don't you know how to arrest someone?

That's not the issue.

Problem is, you don't want me.

to become famous, that's what it is.

Here's the thing

If we hold him for two days, we'll know the truth.

That's not it, sir.

Sir, let's have a look.

I just asked him

And you said it's not him, is it?

How's that, sir?

Aravind

Did you call me for help?

Or did you just call me to clarify your suspicions?

If you trust me, we can end this case quickly.

Come on, the car is ready.

Get in the car

Who's there?

Who's there?

Mr. Chidambaram - Yes?

Speak up, Viraya.

Did someone come to my house and knock on the door?

No, I'm just here at home.

Someone knocks on the door and says it's you

He says it's me? - Yes, sir.

Don't open the door. I'll be there.

Veraia

Veraia

Veraia

Who's there?

Veraia

Veraia

Who's there?

Who's here?

Who's here?

Veraia

Veraia

Who are you? - Chidambaram

Chidambaram uncle, why didn't you save me?

Chidambaram Uncle

My uncle saved me.

Veraia

Who is there?

Veraia?

Veraya? There's no one here.

Where?

Where is this place?

Sir? - Viraya?

Veraia? - Oh, my God.

Save me, save me

Veraia?

Veraia?

Veraia?

Who's there?

Veraia?

There's no one here.

I'm sorry.

Client's house with green paint and bricks

Veraia

This necklace is beautiful, isn't it? - Aravind, come here.

It's great, isn't it?

That's nice. Put the bill on it.

Aravind-Sidi

I think the second crime has been committed.

What do you mean, sir?

The k*ller with the victim

Check vehicles at a range of 20 kilometers

Check the positions// Check all points thoroughly

There's a k*ller walking around with a body.

Check each point thoroughly

Check vehicles at each intersection carefully

If it was a large vehicle, the neighbors would have heard it.

Probably a pickup truck.

Inspect any van or car that comes in

Which neighbors does he mean by hearing the sound?

I do not know

So far no vehicle has passed through here. We're working meticulously

It's a lot of work trying to understand

Listen when I say

Understand

This area is closed.

Did the girl eat? Why?

Give her what she likes

I'll be back in ten minutes.

What's it like with all these questions?

What are you doing now?

Uh, okay.

Sir

Catch him

Please, sir.

Sir, please let me go, sir.

Sir, I don't know anything.

Sir, the body is here, sir.

Move, move, move.

Somebody got it and put it here.

I don't know anything, sir. I swear I don't know.

They just put someone else in, sir.

Ask a sir, ask a passerby.

Sir, sir.

Stop

Stop

Aravind is a white minivan, stop it if you see it

I think the k*ller is inside her.

Sir, we have the k*ller and the body.

Aravind, just listen to what I say.

Sir, I didn't do anything, sir.

Sir, I apologize for what I'm about to say.

But you don't seem to be

like the old Chidambaram. You look tired.

This investigation is over, sir.

This investigation won't end now.

That's not the k*ller.

Again?

Sir, I didn't do anything, sir.

I don't know anything, sir.

I don't know anything, sir.

Aravind as that person said

Can someone spin the body around?

He's a psychopath who would walk around with it even if he carried it.

Pichamani, can you just pause for a moment?

When did you ever listen to what I say?

He said he dropped someone off two kilometers from here.

Let's check the

the footage from the cameras that are there

Can we be sure?

How so?

Return that program to 12:30

Copy this part

It can't be copied exactly Mr. This is a gas station

Then we have to take the recordings from there.

No, we have this footage - well, show it first.

There's a backseat passenger

Enlarge the photo

Grow up more

It can't get any bigger

There is a woman sitting in the carriage

Move the image forward

It means that the body was

was placed in the vehicle after the woman got off

Check the camera for a clearer view of the vehicle's location

They emphasized if he lowered the rider as he said

Why was he waiting

at a traffic light on an empty road?

Watch now

When stopping at the light, did a car pull up next to the car and emit colored smoke?

a car next to the vehicle and emit colored smoke?

Yes, sir.

Check the vehicle if it's her - OK

I thought it was a party or something, Mr.

Did you see who was driving it?

No, sir.

But I heard my master's song

What is a song?

I don't remember her, sir.

Sir, he's watching and pointing at us.

No, sir, he wasn't pointing. He was raising his middle finger.

It's him. That's when he put the body - yes.

Sir, sir.

"I saw a scary movie called Nana Warwin.

Excuse me, sir.

Aravind, as I said, I'm recusing myself from this case.

I didn't mean to, sir.

We thought the man in the carriage was the k*ller.

But we left the truck you talked about. It was my fault.

It's not that

I was so close

I could have caught him.

I didn't realize that my situation could cause harm

It shouldn't happen again.

So you have to take the case

I will step aside

Sir, it's your call.

But I have many

questions I have to ask you

The second offense was committed

How did you know the k*ller was with the body?

I failed

Because of me, I lost another life

I don't get it, sir.

If you stay a little longer

I would have gotten the answers.

"Break"

Check everything thoroughly

We need all the evidence here

Can you check inside the house? - Yes, sir.

Sorry, the body was placed in a public place.

But the evidence will be discovered at the scene of the crime.

That's why we're here, sir.

There doesn't appear to have been a m*rder inside the house

We found this phone during the search

We won't let go of this phone until we know everything about it

What was said about the last time he was seen?

They said he was not at home at night

Did he leave with anyone?

He doesn't seem to have any friends to hang out with, sir.

He retired eight years ago.

He once told me that he should

to take an important business training course

In the end, he was the one who paid for it

Did he have a job? - Not that I know of

Do you know if

there are new things in the house?

Yes, sir.

Check the house and let me know if you find anything new.

Yes, sir.

Sir, these are my uncle's shoes.

I haven't seen him use it since he retired eight years ago

I believe this is the money left over after paying the course fees

This file is also

Unlock this phone

This is about the previous offense

We found him at the home of a retired writer

Did you not know about this, sir?

What do you think about us?

Why do you plan everything on your own, sir?

I called your number more than ten times last week.

There was an exchange of calls

between your number and the deceased writer's number

Just before he was k*lled, I called him.

Half an hour later

Just tell me about the second m*rder.

The location was accurate thanks to the SIM card

During my service, your father was the best officer I ever saw.

His awards and achievements

It brought a good reputation

not only for our office but for the entire state.

I learned many good things while working under his guidance

People who are used to seeing success all the time

Even a small

small step, it seems so big.

But back then it wasn't so simple

There were four murders

After these four murders

the case was transferred to our branch

How can this case be finalized in a week?

Sir, it's not important to finish it on time.

We need your expertise on this case

If there is a case that needs to be finalized

You must leave with a good reputation

But that police chief

is trying to discredit me when I retire.

Your reputation won't suffer, sir.

It will definitely be affected. Look at my work history.

Have you ever closed a case without resolution?

We'll try to finish it, sir.

La Chidambaram

I'm going to tell the police chief

that I'm recusing myself from this case.

Sir, I think you're jumping the g*n.

No

I've made up my mind.

The police chief then said

to your father that he should handle this case

Your father wasn't happy about it.

But the police chief believes defeat cannot be accepted

That's why he was heavily involved in this case

case so that he wouldn't lose his last investigation.

Three consecutive murders

All in the same week

But from this case

I took a lot of damage personally

I recused myself from the case

It wasn't just the villagers but the people of Tamil Nadu

The whole of them feel

frightened by the 'smiley man' case

And then suddenly the news came out

that your father had shot and k*lled the k*ller.

Sir, after all that terrorizing for so long.

How does it feel to k*ll the Smile Man?

Very proud

Two days after the case was closed, a woman came looking for me

Sir

Officer Venkatesh came to our area, sir.

Hello, Ganesh-sir

Here you go - coming, sir

He told me that I should take care of Mr.

I'll give you 15 lakhs of rupees.

And now he's asked me to take over the new m*rder case.

Serial K*llers don't come from exceptional backgrounds

They could be from the community living among you

We don't need the money he gave us, sir.

Can you return my husband to me, sir?

Keep this

If it turns out that the k*ller didn't

dead, there will be a big problem.

I know something went wrong in this case.

I'll help you with what I can.

He was just a child, sir.

The k*ller who k*lled him is walking free

That child was my life.

I am committed to providing answers to those who have lost you

We can catch the real k*ller and k*ll him.

Trust me, Chidambaram.

This was all due to the pride of the Director-General of Police

police chief who refused to admit defeat.

Chidambaram feels a lot of shame about what happened

I have already paid Rs. 15 lakhs

And I will continue to pay more every month

Even if he's here, there's nothing he can do for that family.

Sir, that's not necessary for you. This is their family.

How do you decide how those families will live?

It happened, it's over, and it was a mistake.

You also recused yourself from the case.

I don't have another team

or directions, what should I do now?

How can you speak so easily?

I embarrassed the families of the victims because of the k*ller.

They are now relieved that justice has been served

But you deceived them

I will only retire from the department, Chidambaram.

Let's catch the real k*ller and k*ll him.

I won't stop until it happens

When we k*ll that guy

Do you think the real k*ller will remain silent?

Isn't it better for him to stay hidden?

He'll be quiet for a while.

By then you'll be retired as a hero.

It's very ugly, sir, and completely wrong.

Chidambaram

There's no point in thinking about right and wrong here.

There's a benefit even in right and wrong.

Come tomorrow for my retirement party.

After it's over, we can sit down and talk

Or I can tell the truth to the public and confess

Thank you, sir.

Goodbye, sir - goodbye

He has never left a case pending in his history

The case of the "smiley man" is well known to all of us

I thought it wouldn't be solved, but a week ago

The serial k*ller was shot and k*lled

It has also given our department a good reputation

We honor this achievement in his name on behalf of everyone

Thanks - best wishes

What happened, sir?

nothing

Tell me, sir - the real k*ller called me

The real k*ller?

What did he say? - He said he wanted to meet me quickly

I'll come too. Let's go.

I apologize, Chidambaram.

How many years have we relied on each other?

I know you well.

She'll confess everything.

k*lling a criminal in a confrontation

in favor of another criminal is nothing new.

You know this very well.

Because you have a girl

I made it personal

But I'm with my wife and son

I can't live with the reputation of being a despicable man

I don't have a choice, Chidambaram.

Sir

Hey there.

We haven't found your father's body yet.

I learned about it later

Did the k*ller try to contact you again?

But the k*lling going on right now

He's doing it.

Will there be another victim soon?

I don't know

Sir, I shot and k*lled my father

We still don't have his body.

All because he made a mistake

That's why I'm sitting here talking to you.

My anger toward you hasn't diminished one bit.

Did the k*ller target one of these now?

Tell me, sir. I don't know, Arvind.

In this investigation, you're always two steps ahead of us.

You must know a lot of things we don't.

Chidambaram, my uncle didn't save me, did he?

Chidambaram Uncle

I. Where is Mr. Chidambaram?

I'm going to do a background check on Mr. Chidambaram.

Joseph, you and Pachamani check

from these three in the files

Don't talk to them, just watch them

The autopsy report has arrived.

The two cases are very similar

The cutting process was done with extreme precision

Did you find any evidence from this book? - No

But this book should be distributed to all members of the department

Look at the first four victims.

This is where the murders took place

Four months later

The locations of the other three crimes are all here

This means that the first four offenses

Happened in different places

The other three offenses

The other three crimes occurred close to each other

Not Just Nearby

We have to know the direction, it's very important.

All of these crimes took place

near Mr. Chidambaram's homes

These are the locations of the recent murders

This is Mr. Chidambaram's current home

A crime has been committed here as well.

near the area where he lives

And where could the next crime take place?

Do you mean that the k*ller is leaving

the bodies near Mr. Chidambaram's houses?

But it's not like that - well

Actually, these are not the places where the crimes took place.

and not the places where the bodies were placed

They are all victims' homes

This shows that many of them lived

in the vicinity of Mr. Chidambaram

He had a chance to learn a lot about them

Even if he changes his place of residence

In the last two murders

One of the victims was near his home

Yes, that was Kumatha

And there's another big thing

Look at this newspaper

Request for investigation

Of the 7 2 murders, one thing is clear.

And it's this little kid

This child is the daughter of the nurse that Mr. Chidambaram

Mr. Chidambaram intended to marry.

After the m*rder of this child, Mr. Chidambaram withdrew

Mr. Chidambaram withdrew from the case

In this series of crimes

We don't know why the child was targeted

What prompted Mr.

Chidambaram to associate with Kumatha afterward?

The murders started again

after the publication of his book on serial K*llers

What does a serial k*ller now have to do with it?

Now it's not a new k*ller, it's always been the same

Forensic medical team

confirms that the k*ller is the same person

I warned you not to waste time on the old case.

Evidence in the last two murders is insufficient

We had to revisit the old case

But that case is now over.

Our office and region

has been recognized on a national level

I don't want this reputation to be lost unnecessarily.

If another crime occurs, our reputation will suffer.

So what are you trying to say?

Mr. Chidambaram

Involved in the case in one way or another

Has a good knowledge of the K*llers or potential victims

We believe he's orchestrating these crimes.

The crimes didn't stop

only when he was isolated and inactive

But the murders happened before that

What does that mean, sir?

So did you ask him what

he was doing at Kumatha's house that day?

He gave no answer

That's why I say he's involved in this case.

Then do something.

Take him off the case

and put him under house arrest.

Were two police officers watching him?

He walked away by himself.

But skepticism calls for him to be placed under house arrest

If it's properly monitored, there will be no murders.

Excuse me, sir. We have a restraining order against you.

Order?

Mr. Kirthana, what's going on here?

Mr. Supreme Officer

Request to place you under house arrest - why?

We have suspicions about your involvement in the murders.

If you put me under house arrest

under house arrest, we won't be able to catch the k*ller.

See, sir? You admit it, don't you?

Kirthana How long will this house arrest last?

until this case is over.

I need to go to the

hospital to see a doctor and have a test

I have to get out.

Nothing will happen if I get out

I'm not a corrupt cop.

Bring the scanner home

Try to understand. I have to go get tested.

Yes, sir.

I can't get close to the k*ller.

We have to get him to come to me.

We need to get him to commit his next crime.

The person he plans to k*ll

without realizing

I'll show him.

First, take the patient's CT scan - OK.

Then, based on the report, we will determine the necessary treatment

Yes, Chidambaram, you arrived suddenly.

Do you need any help?

I don't need much help but I do need permission

Sir, I've asked everyone to hurry up. Is there something important?

Yes, that's why I asked you to come

Crimes that are happening now

I'm trying to solve it in collaboration with the department

Just two days ago I saw the k*ller with my own eyes

Sir, who is the k*ller?

There's a big difference between the crimes now

and the crime that took place five years ago

There is no

connection between this k*ller and the previous one.

That's not him.

He's just a copycat k*ller.

Why is he suddenly planning these crimes?

This is common knowledge, isn't it?

And I'm telling you these things

Stop talking negatively about us in the media

You're making the region's name

bad, thinking you're giving the department a bad name.

The crime that happened five years ago

Officer Venkatesh performed his duties brilliantly

Officer Venkatesh was a hero.

If someone talks badly about him again, I won't leave him so easily.

I also officially reported the matter

What are you saying now?

Who allowed him to do that?

Maybe he thought it was because there were two policemen in front of his house.

You don't have

any sense of responsibility, Pachamani.

Sir, why did you let me see the doctor?

Kirthana, listen to what I have to say.

What you have found is absolutely correct

There's a connection between me and the k*ller.

All I did was figure out what that relationship was.

The k*ller is targeting people close to me

I used to think you could catch

four bad guys through Kumatha

Who is it, sir?

Arvind

And Chitra? That child was k*lled then.

How did she feel when she saw her baby?

How painful was it? On the day of his funeral, he also died.

Do you know anything about his personal life?

He doesn't talk much, but he does his job well

Brother - yes what?

Ask for Prabhu - Who is Prabhu?

Prabhu, the person who was talking to that girl

Do something. There's a morgue nearby.

Ask for Prabhu there, he'll tell you a lot about that kid.

Prove that the k*ller is not a copycat

He's targeting someone from the old case.

Where is the morgue? - Go straight, sir.

Arvind Venkatesh's father falsely closed the case

Only the k*ller and I know this.

If this secret is revealed to everyone, Arvind will be k*lled.

Who's there?

Prabhu

I'll tell you myself

I came to find out about Chitra, I'm Arvind from the Crimes Division of the Criminal Investigation Unit.

Shall we sit somewhere else to talk?

Let's discuss it here. What do you want to know?

How did you meet Chitra?

I was like a brother to her

Did she have any personal relationship with anyone?

Maybe with doctors or surgeons

I don't know the purpose of your question

I ask if she has a relationship with someone

As far as I know, no

Was she planning to get married?

Her second marriage was

Did you notice that she was anxious or angry before?

How can I tell if she's anxious or angry just by looking at her?

I'm asking if she talked to you about something like that.

If I remember anything, I'll let you know.

Did she always come to the hospital with her daughter? - No

But she always talked about her daughter

Anything else?

Do you have any urgent business?

Do you know what happens to the body after the loss of life?

This body should be put in the refrigerator.

If they are not recognized, they must be sent to the incinerator

I'm not in a position to keep the body, sir.

This is about her nursing unit

And this place belongs to you.

But if you ask outside, they'll say you know better.

That's why I told you as a brother

Do you know who she was going to marry?

Who?

Sir, if you want to ask about me, you'd better not.

Ask someone else

How can you trust that I will answer your questions accurately?

I didn't trust you, Prabhu. You talk like a brother.

We've talked about Chithra all this time.

She showed no sadness about the traumatic event in her life

This is my job

No one around me shows sadness or joy

Do you seem to enjoy this work?

Usually the people in this business are always drunk.

I'm the last person to see these people in this world

If I was drunk at that moment and didn't respect them, what value did they have?

Do you work alone?

People come in from time to time but they don't last six months

Okay, thanks. If you hear anything about Chithra, give me a call.

If this is true, we need to tell our team now.

Not now if they know the police know he'll be ready.

Sir, if that happens

Aravind's life could be in danger - it's possible

That police is still under Chidambaram's control.

Nothing will happen to Aravind

Aravind is getting married tomorrow.

There are always people around him.

Then it will definitely come

Before that, I was released from house arrest

Mom, what happened?

What happened?

Was I shot and k*lled? Tell the truth, officer. There's one last smile.

Sir, sir.

Sir, what is the meaning of that written message?

They say you shot and k*lled the k*ller's wife in the same way.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

We're investigating that message. We need to see if it's a hoax.

What else is there to see in it?

He clearly wrote that you didn't pressure him and didn't k*ll him.

Look, the copycat k*ller can do this.

That same copycat k*ller

He can even k*ll the k*ller's wife.

Previously the same way, right?

Is this a new m*rder, or is it also hidden?

It's okay.

Even if you get hit on the head

Your cop brain is still the same

You guys went to all this trouble to catch me, didn't you?

this much effort to catch me, didn't you?

But have you ever tried to

to catch you and put you in jail?

You still don't get it, do you?

You k*lled Venkatesh, didn't you?

Have you told anyone about it yet?

I hid that body for you.

Now it's enough

I'll take the life I gave you.

Rahim's m*rder

Don't you want to know why I'm doing all this?

How am I connected to your life?

Don't you want to know?

Even if you say you'll forget

I'll tell you, I'll tell you, I'll tell you.

There's something important you should know

I had two lives

I had no anger, no crying, no laughing

There was never any of that.

Some people reacted well to me

Then suddenly they didn't even smile when they saw me

So I decided to make them smile one last time

I was in the job I loved

The people I loved were always around me.

Always laughing

I was comfortable and thought this was the life I wanted

But suddenly

This woman came out of nowhere and ruined my life.

Because of the job I do

No one talks to me

But she sat with me and ate with me

Yes, eat

It's okay to eat

looking into my eyes

And she smiles sincerely

Baba Baba

Are you mad because mom is late?

Here - this is chocolate

Yes to my parameter

Come on, let's go inside.

Chithra

Are we getting married?

I can't give you an answer, Prabhu.

If my daughter loves you

I don't have a problem.

I felt like this was the new life

How can I get

such a blessing so easily?

Hello Uncle Chidambaram

Hello - Hello - Uncle is late today too.

Haven't you slept yet? - Because you didn't come

Stay, I'll be right back.

Hi Yano

This

All right, all right, all right.

All right, all right, all right.

Baba, there's nothing wrong with Uncle staying with us, right?

There's Uncle Chidambaram, right mom?

I have asked him many times

Why don't you marry him, Mom?

What happened?

Go away.

Hi Papa

Hi Yano

What happened? What happened to Baba?

Do you love me? - I love you so much, baby.

Too much - too much

So will you do what I say?

Say you won't cry anymore

I will do whatever you say - I swear

I swear

My mom thinks I need a father

Are you going to marry my mom?

We shouldn't be talking about such big things.

But now you promised you'd do what I say.

Now your mom is going to scold you.

If my mom says yes, will you say yes?

I told you we shouldn't talk about such big things.

Don't you love me?

How can I say I don't love you?

So if mom says yes, will you say yes? Say so.

If you want to stay with me forever, my mom marrying you is the answer.

Yes - that's enough

You ruined my second life.

Prabhu Prabhu

Don't be sad. Give my daughter some time to come to terms with it.

I love Chithra

I'll take care of everything. Don't worry.

Sir, goodbye.

Are you going to say hello or not?

Where is Kanaya?

Inside He's being questioned, sir - he seems to be getting an answer

Sir

Is that all?

While investigations are speeding up, CID is doing the opposite

Otherwise, you'll have to deal with it.

What can we do, sir?

We bring suspects in for investigation.

Sir

I'm a rope cutter, sir. I'm being fetched and beaten, sir. - Hey!

Sir, we are brought and beaten for everything, sir.

Yes, sir.

Do you have information about them? - Yes, sir.

You can go now - thank you very much, sir.

I'll call if I need anything - Yes, sir.

Brother, you can go

Do you always get hit like this?

Papa

Uncle wants to talk to you for a bit.

Uncle is a new person now, Baba.

Have you looked at what it brought you?

From now on, you will love Uncle very much.

If you tell your mom yes

We'll all live happily ever after, won't we?

Uncle will take you everywhere

He will play with you

And it'll put you to sleep, too, right?

Mom agreed to marry Uncle Chidambaram

If you say that, your mom will change, won't she?

I won't say anything.

Do you know that your mom said yes for you?

No, Papa, Mommy loves me very much.

Aren't you doing what your mom likes?

Are you threatening me? I'll tell her when she gets back.

Your mom's not coming now.

Answer my question

I don't like you. Get out.

Papa, what did Uncle do to scare you so much?

Why are you afraid now when you see him?

I'm afraid

Papa

Why are you crying now?

Don't be afraid, Papa. Stay here.

Don't cry. Look.

Look at the uncle

Hello, hello, hello.

Look at the uncle

Seeing you scares me

Get out

Papa

Come here

Sit here.

Reach out here

Papa, I have no one, Papa.

Papa

I will kneel and hold your feet, Baba.

Papa! Papa, stop!

Papa, stop!

Baba Baba

Papa - Let go of me

Papa Papa - let go of me

Papa for Uncle Papa

Uncle is oppressed

Papa, look here, Papa.

Papa

Uncle Chidambaram

Baba Baba

Papa

Wake up, Papa.

Baba Baba

Papa

I said don't, Papa.

Oh, my God, I said don't.

It's okay.

That's good

Marin

Is he dead?

Now Chithra

It will be mine, won't it?

Chithra will be mine, won't it?

Chithra will be mine, won't she?

Even she took it out to see her smile at me

Chithra Chithra

Chithra

Why don't you open the door?

Hey, Chithra, open the door.

Open the door

Chithra. Hi, Chithra. Open the door.

Why don't you open the door? Break it down.

Chithra, open the door

Open the door

Chithra

Chithra

Chithra

Just as I have no one

You shouldn't have one either.

But have you seen fate?

When I thought my life was over

You released me from the police as if

you gave me permission to k*ll that little girl.

We thought he'd target you next.

So we were prepared

Why did you lie to the media and say

that Chidambaram would return to service?

I do not know

There is one last smile

Kirthana

Chidambaram?

Doesn't answer the call

Aravind tried to contact him

does not answer

Mr. Chidambaram

Go see him

Sir, what happened, sir?

Sir

Are you okay?

But have you seen fate?

When I thought my life was over

You released me from the police as if

you gave me permission to k*ll that little girl.

Then I took it out as if smiling at me

I was in the job I loved

The people I loved were always around me

They were always smiling.

I was in the job I loved

The people I loved were always around me

Their faces were always smiling.

He must be k*lled

Whoever k*lled my love must be k*lled.

Sir, I understand.

Now we can't ask him anything. We'll wait until he's better.

Mr. Chidambaram is missing

Sir, the "Smile Man" case is over.

He must be k*lled

He must be k*lled

Whoever k*lled my love must be k*lled.

He must be k*lled

He must be k*lled

He must be k*lled

Come Uncle Chidambaram

Come on.

He must be k*lled

He must be k*lled

He must be k*lled

He must be k*lled

He must be k*lled

He must be k*lled

He must be k*lled

He must be k*lled

Uncle Chidambaram

If you ask me what fear is

is real in times like these

It's the fear of people

In times like these

some departments are forced to tell lies

But they are not permanent lies

Like the lie that my father was a CID officer and a hero.

Criminal Investigation Unit and a hero named Venkatesh.

The real hero is Chidambaram Nedumaran

Sir, how is Chidambaram Nedumaran doing now?

The only support for a policeman

is his memories

But those same memories are his pain.

Every cop has a case.

It is said that he doesn't forget that case until he dies.

But some cases

need to be forgotten during the investigation itself

Such forgetfulness

is a rare opportunity
