[bird calls]
Another girl is going to be abducted.
Let us
hand over Mercy to him.
Sir, Mercy is the only solid evidence for us to catch him.
We can't give her away, sir.
Not like that, brother.
Before we lose another life,
let's hand over Mercy.
Sir, criminals always go wrong when they make impulsive decisions.
That's when we must catch them.
But we don't know
which child is going to be abducted next.
As per his modus operandi so far,
he has followed a safe route.
He won't let go of that for sure.
Sir, annual festival...
[pensive orchestration]
Sir, today is the fourth Friday.
There will be a festive celebration at Thirukarancheri.
There's a celebration at Aranallur too.
They visited the police station requesting protection.
Huh? Which of these villages will it be?
He will surely visit one of these places.
We won't get a better chance to catch him red-handed.
Shall we request police protection?
I don't think they will believe and help us out.
Few of them will be on duty.
Go to Thirukarancheri. There will be two constables there.
If you want, take them with you.
- Well, another life-- - Sir.
He knows that he will get caught unless he gets Mercy's body.
If he takes Mercy away,
then how can we be sure that he will stop killing?
We have to catch him.
[intense musical buildup]
Hey, why... Jacky!
Hey, what is it?
[dog whimpers]
[bike whirring]
[bike revs]
[folk music playing]
[bike whirring]
[screams]
Hey!
[tense music playing]
How many chains did you snatch?
- Tell me. - I didn't steal, sir.
- What happened? - He has developed a habit.
- Who is he? - I didn't steal, sir.
Chain snatching.
- Take him with you. - Come on!
- Hey, I'll thwack you. Go on! - Let me go, sir.
[folk music playing]
[brooding dramatic music]
[screams]
Let me go! Put me down.
Don't cry.
- I'll beat you if you cry. - [child cries]
Let me go!
Be silent!
Let me go...
- Listen to me! Keep quiet! - Hey!
Let me go.
Hey! Who are you?
- Huh? - What do you want?
- The kid is crying. - Yes, she's my daughter.
They sacrificed a chicken brutally and it scared her.
Why do you ask?
Uh... Well...
Child, who's this?
My dad.
- Your dad? - Hey!
Why are you asking unnecessary questions? What do you want?
- It's your dad, right? - Yes.
- Mind your own business. - Forgive me, sir.
Let's go, dear.
Did you beg to go to the temple only to act so cowardly?
Had I known, I would've left you at home.
[folk music playing]
[insects trilling]
Sir, anything suspicious?
Nothing here. And there?
[phone rings]
Is it him?
Are you wondering why someone hasn't gone missing yet?
Call your wife and ask where your grandson is.
[soft tense music]
Tell him that you'll hand her over.
- We'll do it. Tell him. - Wait.
My grandson is battling for life, going through hell every minute.
Do what you want.
Tsk!
I won't hand over Mercy.
- What are you doing? - Sir...
I thought of kidnapping him but I don't want to kill a dead snake.
Not just that, his lifeless state
is your biggest punishment.
That's why I abducted someone else.
Hey, who is it?
Hey, what are you saying?
Hello?
- Hello. - Kayal is missing.
She was playing right here. But she's missing now.
- Do you hear me? - What happened?
Hello?
Ask the policeman next to you
if he wants to have a last word with his daughter.
- [muffled voice] Dad! - Hey, Kayal!
- [muffled scream] - Kayal?
- Dad! - Hey, look!
- Dad... - If you hurt my daughter...
Hello? Do you hear me?
- What happened to Kayal? - Nothing, dear.
- I'll call you back. - Tell me! Hello?
Will you hand over Mercy without playing any games this time?
I will give her.
Good.
Bring her dead body to the location I give, at 2 a.m.
You must come alone.
If the cop or someone else accompanies you, I'll kill her.
If she dies, it's just another murder for me.
But, I believe it's not the same for you.
Okay.
But, nothing must happen to her.
That depends on you.
Hey...
Hey... [soft grunt]
- It's broken. - What?
[gasps]
This lock is broken too.
[effort grunts]
[door creaks open] Hey...
[suspenseful music playing]
It's missing...
Someone broke the lock and...
If it were someone unrelated, the news would've been out.
What if he found it
and is troubling us?
If he found it, then he has a plan for sure.
If it were him, then he would've quietly destroyed the evidence.
He doesn't need to risk being exposed.
Who else can it be, sir?
[suspenseful music playing]
[muffled gasps]
Where is Kayal?
- I fear he'll do something to her. - Kayal is fine.
- Will she return? What happened? - Calm down! She'll be fine.
- Listen to me. Calm down. - I'm scared.
[phone rings]
It's him, sir.
Answer it.
Hello.
Come and meet me with Mercy's body within half an hour.
To get there,
follow my instructions.
I'm warning you again.
You must come alone.
If you bring that cop or someone else with you,
and plan to fool me again...
No, nobody will come.
Then ask the mother to forget about her daughter.
- Hey! No... - If I get Mercy
without any problems...
Okay, I'll be there. Hello?
Sir, let's go.
Wait, sir!
I'll go there.
- I'll bring her back. - I'll come along, sir.
Listen to me.
You can put the child's life in danger.
- Nothing will happen, sir. - Listen to me.
- I'll go. - Hey.
If he goes alone, Kayal will be back safely.
- Please don't go. [cries] - Keep quiet! Wait.
Sir, she's right. I'll go. Don't come.
- Please don't come. - Sir!
Come on, sir!
What are you saying?
We don't have Mercy's body.
- How will you give it back? - Sir, Kayal's life matters.
Look, I'll go.
No matter what happens to me,
this is how I will atone for my sins.
- Madam, I'll bring-- - Just a moment, sir.
[rustles]
Keep this, sir.
Use it there. Give me your phone.
Sir, I've shared your live location
- to my number. - Okay.
I'll follow you. Go on.
Okay. I'll be back with the child.
[soft grunt]

Sir!
Ask the patrol team to come in.
What are you doing here?
- Why do you need patrol?
Sir, that murderer is going to kill my child next.
Where is your daughter? Who is going to kill her?
Sir, you were right.
It was one man who abducted all the kids.
Yes, that's why we've arrested Raghu.
Sir! You know that Raghu didn't do it.
If we miss this chance, we may never catch the killer.
Moreover, my daughter is in danger.
Sir, you don’t have to believe me, but please come.
Please, sir. Please come!
Sir!

Kayal!
Kayal. Wait.
- [pants] - [sirens wail]
- Sir, we lost the signal. - Stop the car!
Get off, everyone!
Move into different directions and check well.
Check the entire area.
- Go and check there. - Yes, sir!
[effort grunts]
'They are Subha's parents. The first girl who went missing.'
'Is Mercy back?'
'What happened to my daughter? Where is she?'
I have no news yet, sir.
'Please tell us what you remember.'
Hey! [thuds]
[suspenseful music peaks]
Huh!
Hey...
[tense music playing]
[rousing music playing]
- [siren wails] - There's nobody here.
[siren wails]
[rousing music playing]
Bhaskaran!
Hey...
Give me Mercy's body.
I'll spare this girl.
Hey...
Let that child go.
Hey, let that child go.
You want Mercy, right?
I'll give her to you. Let her go!
Despite all this drama, you're still trying to fool me.
Hey...

Hey!
I should've killed this dog a long time ago.
Without this dog...
[dog barks]
- Shoo! - [dog barks]
[dog barks]
Jacky!
Go!
- [gasps, pants] - [dog barks]
You are the reason behind this mess.
[thwacks]

[coughs]
Kayal!
- Dad! - Catch him!
- Catch him. - Sir.
Pull him up.
Hey, get up!
Come on!
Lift him and take him to the car.
- Come on! - Hey, get up!
Take him away. Scoundrel!
- Take him away! Go! - [coughs]
- Are you alright? - Dad!
I hope your daughter is fine.
Kayal.
Put him in the car. I'm coming.
[ominous music playing]
Huh!
Jacky!
[whimpers] Hey, Jacky!
[cries]
[sobs]
Jacky!
[emotional music playing]
[whimpers]
Sir, he's a psycho.
His relationship with his wife is strained.
He spent most of his time at the clinic.
He tried hitting on women who visited the clinic.
When he realised that it could put him in trouble,
do you know what he did? He targeted
young girls who visited the clinic for blood tests.
[ominous music playing]
Sir, medical check-ups are often conducted in schools.
He has always been around.
He selected girls from there, as well.
He is very interested in other people's secrets.
People often talk ill about some families in the village.
He finds such families, collects their blood samples,
learns that the kids are born out of wedlock
and targets such girls.
He chose a girl before the festive celebration.
After abusing that girl,
fearing that the girls might get him caught,
he would take them to his coconut plantation,
kill and burn them to death there.
At one point, he realised that his daughter is not biologically his.
[dramatic musical sting]
Huh! [grunts]
- Dad, I'll go and play. - What is it, dear?
Okay, be careful.
He didn't even spare the girl he raised.
Like he brutally raped and burnt the other girls,
he killed this girl too.
[dramatic music playing]
Tell me what you want. I'll buy it for you.
- I'll rip you... [thwacks] - Sir! No, it pains.
- Sir! [screams] Let me go! - Kids? You must die, dog!
You want to kill young girls for your pleasure. Is it?
Sir...
You filthy bastard, you did all out of your perversion
and now you dare give me reasons?
Where is that kid?
- Where is she? - [cries]
I know.
[sobs]
[suspenseful music playing]
[emotional music playing]
[slaps]
Sir...
[gentle music playing]
Sir.
Sir, does it hurt?
I'm finally feeling relieved.
[dramatic music playing]
[thunders]
[rain swishes]
[thunders]
Esther, look here.
Look here.
Forgive me. [cries]
We had no choice.
Forgive us, please.
Esther!
We had no choice.
[wails]
[eerie vocalising]
[bike whirring]
Sir, had you not hidden Mercy, Chandran wouldn't have been caught.
He would've killed many more kids.
Not just Mercy,
you've done justice to other girls as well.
You could've hidden the truth until the end,
but you didn't do so.
We never identify the goodness inside us, sir.
Only others realise it.
But, only we know how bad we are.
Others don't realise it.
Sir, you have to get out of all this first.
Your grandson is there.
[phone rings]
Hello?
Driver, where is the red chilli powder?
I've given it for grinding, madam. I'll get it in an hour.
Okay. Be quick.
System.
[sniggers]
Hmm.
[bike whirring]
[gentle music playing]
Dear...
[sniffles]
Our child...
- Grandpa! - Raghu, my darling.
How are you?
Are you doing physiotherapy regularly?
Esther...
Hmm. She visits daily, but...
Hmm.
[emotional music playing]
Esther!
Take blessings.
Bhaskaran was released yesterday.
He pleaded guilty, right? Then how did they release him?
Even if he pleaded guilty, we haven't found Mercy yet.
As per law, there can't be a verdict without evidence.
Where could Mercy's body have gone?
I don't know.
Hmm.
- Hmm? - Take care of her.
She's playing.
- I'll be back. - Okay.
[emotional music playing]
[water swishes]
[suspenseful music playing]
It's not too late, Anandhi.
If I hide Mercy's body and surrender myself,
they can't do anything unless Mercy's body is found.
We need you more than ever now.
