The TV’s on.. where did sister go?
[exhales deeply]
Ok fine.
[whispers] He left.
Sir?
Sir!
I had gone home. No one was there.
Where has Akka gone, sir?
Sit down, Beera.
No it’s ok, sir.
Listen to me. Sit down.
Beera..
Now whatever is going to happen.
It’s going to change both of our lives.
Until I find the missing head, we can’t move forward.
Here the head that is lost.. is a very important evidence.
If you know anything about it..
Tell me now.
Sir, I’m not understanding what you’re saying?
How does it matter to us, sir?
I feel so, Beerappa.
Look sir.
No one has seen what I have done.
But yet, I came and confessed to you.
Because..
Sir..
I trust you so much.
Yes..you’ve told me everything because you trust me.That’s right.
But..
if half of it is truth and the other half is lies,..
it won’t help anyone.
So I’m asking you again.
Is there anything else you haven’t told us?
If you truly believe what I say, let me tell you one thing.
Every murder has an answer, sir.
But it’s not about who did it..
But why they did it..
[Tires screech loudly]
Are you all running a mafia together?
Who is he?
Sir..Sir.. Please don’t.
Sir sorry sir.
[Beera wails in pain]
You’re playing with us is it?
Hmm.
Sir..
- Pakiresha, Bheemanna, Nagappa.. Basappa..Shivappa..
- Kallappa..ah.. Lakshmana and Siddalingesha, sir.
You spoke all this, isn’t it?
- [Beera cries] - Say it clearly..
You confessed to have killed right?
Yes sir.
Otherwise..
..they would’ve locked me in a room and beaten me to death.
Where did you kill those eight people? and how?
To tell you the truth, sir..
I’m the one who put up those eight photographs on the notice board.
I kept looking at them every day, memorizing their names.
I didn’t actually kill any of them, sir.
Sir..
He’s spinning a new story now.
- None of our usual methods work on him.
He’s a different kind of criminal.
Anyone needs cucumber?
Oh mother.
See she is crying now.
Why did you scare her?
You boys don’t listen to me..
Jyothi?
What happened, dear?
Come sit here.
What happened?
You got scared for this small thing?
Look. It’s just a toy.
Calm down. You should not get scared.
- Nothing will happen. - Hey Jyothi..
What happened, dear? Why did you shout?
A snake had bit her a few days ago in front of her house, sir.
It was a miracle that she survived that day.
Her teacher saved her that day.
- Nothing will happen. - Don’t get scared..
Don’t get scared dear. Calm yourself down.
That teacher? Is it him?
Even I don’t know, sir. I’ve never seen him.
[jyothi] Hmm,
You take her home safely.
- Yes Elappa. - Sir, where are you?
The situation has worsened here.
I don’t know what to do. You please come to the station first.
Hanumu..
SP sir already left.
You please calm down. Ok. Sit..
It’s ok, sir.
- Hanumu? - Sir..
No matter what we do,..
he keeps saying he didn’t commit the murder.
What do we do now?
Your fate’s turned bad. The SP is furious.
The SP tried everything, but he won’t open his mouth.
He’ll only talk to you.
You have to handle this somehow.
I understand,sir.
Hm.
I’ll see you, sir.
- Ramesha? - Yes sir.
Get Beera’s clothes.
Take it, Beerappa.
Wear you clothes, Beera.
We have to go out.
Eat..
All these days..
we beat you without giving you a morsel.
- Take it. - Sir?
Hmm.. give this to your daughter.
You were telling right?
That she loves Biriyani..
Yes sir,
If I bring some home, that’s enough.
She waits for me every day sitting by the door.
And tell her this..
And tell her you’re going far away for work.
Tell her it’ll take a few days before you return.
Don’t tell anything else.
Alright?
Ok I will go to the temple and come back.
You talk to her and come.
Hmm.
What is it, Hanumu? Where are you?
I’ve sent him inside to talk to his daughter, sir.
- I’m waiting for him to come out, sir. - What are you even saying?
You took him to his home?
You’ve left him inside and waiting alone outside?
Yes sir.
Incase he tries to escape from here.
It means that he is not going to confess, sir.
I’m somehow trying to get his confession.
What are you even doing man?
I just pleaded with the SP and saved your job.
- What kind of madness is this? - Sir, I will call you back.
- Beera came out. - Hanumu? Hey!
Ha..Beera? Shall we go?
What’s this in your hand?
If you leave with something from home,..
,,you won’t miss it as much, sir.
My daughter gave it to me.
Ok. Anyhow we are taking you to the court tomorrow.
We will keep this in the station and go, alright?
- Shall we go? - Yes sir.
She didn’t even let me open it.
She told me to open it after I travelled a long distance.
Children are always innocent like that, Beerappa.
What else can be above them for us?
She had never spoken to me like this before, sir.
She hugged me tightly and..
Told me not to ever forget her, sir.
I can understand, Beerappa.
There’s a saying..
We understand the worth of something only when it’s gone.
This is that..
Sir..
I never thought you would take me home again.
After you came to know about my mistake,..
I thought you would’ve changed your mind about me, sir.
The elders always say..
when we get the time..
..you should remember your wrongs and lighten your heart.
Who knows if we’ll ever get that time again?
After I spoke to the people you blackmailed was when I realized how clever you really are.
We’ve to observe a person correctly..
Then corner him..
And then catch him red handed.
Why did you stop the killings?
Everything was going smoothly as it is, SIr.
Oh god! Huh..?
She took the money, the gold, phone, everything and ran away, sir.
May be she thought I would use her in the same way always, so she ran away.
She left.. and never came back.
Then..
What about Jyothi?
After that, I couldn’t even look my daughter in the face, sir.
The whole village said I had ruined her life.
They mocked me..
‘A man who couldn’t even feed his wife.. how will he raise his daughter?’
[Beera cries inconsolably]
From that day on,
I gave up all the dirty dealings.
I decided to live with dignity.
I did every job I could find, sir.
If they offered wages, I worked for wages. If they gave me food, I worked for food.
I took whatever they gave and came home.
But if I opened my mouth and asked for more,..
..my caste would stand in the way.
Even after all that…
When my daughter asked for a book, I couldn’t buy her one.
I couldn’t even get her a pair of slippers also,sir.
So..
Wherever I worked, I started asking for advances
Did they give you?
Infront of me, they said they don’t have much.
But behind my back..
..they were driving cars…wearing thick gold chains around their necks and wrists.
That day I understood.. how greed can push a man into madness.
That’s when I started spreading the story that there was treasure..
..buried near the riverbank.
Makara rashi… Uttara Bhadrapada star…
If you dig right here, you’re certain to find treasure.
Look once toward the temple spire..
Close your eyes and pray from your heart.
How many people?
8 or 9..
I don’t remember myself.
Once this became a habit. I stopped counting.
By the way..
What..
What did you do with the bodies?
She took them.
She? Who?
The one that lives in the water.
What do you mean?
You mean..
Aye..
Beera..
You’re doing a mistake.
Hey..
Are you out of your mind? Hey..
- [Beera shrieking] - Hey.
Beera..What’s wrong with you?
Beera..
Give that to me..
Hey..
[A loud splash]
